//------------------------------// // laides and Gentalecolts, We have a new champion! // Story: NEWCOMER: Little Loo! // by heavy weapons brony //------------------------------// Loo sat in the locker room of the sports center completely exhausted, the run and the fight really took it out of her. Rainbow Dash came in as Loo poured a bottle of water all over herself. “Hey, listen kid, you did a good job out there, and im proud of you” Rainbow explained. Loo looked up at her “Thanks Dash, I didn’t know canvas hurt so much though. Rainbow gave a small chuckle. “Yeah well, i forgot to tell you something about your next fight” “What?” Loo said with rising suspicion. Rainbow pursed her lips “...Its the title bout” “The title bout!?” Loo yelled surprised. “Yeah but you got this!, Glass shy didn’t last one round with you!” Rainbow explained. “Okay, maybe this won't be so bad, do you have his profile?” Loo asked. Rainbow pursed her lips again and gave her the profile. Loo opened it and nearly fainted. The fighter’s name was a stallion named “King Mac”, He was easily the biggest pony Loo had ever seen. Loo looked at his stats, his weight was unknown (He broke every scale) his height was unknown (Tape measures always made him mad) Even his fighting stats where unknown (You can hardly get a word out of him). The pictures depicted a easily 7 foot tall red coated stallion with a head full of short rust colored hair and the girth of a city bus. He lived on a tropical island in the south pacific that was home to an apple orchard of some sorts. In the pictures he dressed in a pair of orange shorts and wicker sandals, in the first one he was ripping a 12 foot old dead apple tree from the ground with his bare hands. In the next he was lifting an entire bamboo house to retrieve a apple that had rolled under it. Then in the last picture, he was punching a apple tree so hard all the apples in the branches rained down to a collection of well placed barrells. Loo Looked up to Rainbow with absolute amazement. Rainbow tried to lighten the mood with a fake smile and chuckle. Loo Stared at the floor and let out a long sigh. “Buck” She said quickly. Loo and Rainbow look to their corner of the boxing arena, King mac was nowhere to be found so Rainbow took the time to give Loo a pep talk. “Okay Loo, from what i can see in these photos, he probably has a invincible guard so don’t bother trying to break your way through it, also with arms like those, he probably punches pretty hard to” Rainbow explained. “So what do i do?” Loo asked. “Well, Don’t get hit, aaaand Don’t punch him” Rainbow guessed. “Sssooo Don’t fight?” Loo Deadpanned. “Okay Okay seriously, hes big, really big, really really really big, that means hes slow, wait for him to make a mistake and take that opening” Rainbow explained. Loo nodded and gave rainbow a smile. Rainbow returned the smile and might have given her a hug if a T-rex had ‘ent attacked at that very moment. Both mares turned their head to the noise coming from the hall into the main room to see that they were wrong, it wasn't a T-rex, but Loo’s opponent. A lumbering mass of stallion emerged from the mouth of the hallway, King Mac was even bigger and much more menacing in person, he was dressed like he was in the photo, but with purple boxing gloves covering his massive hands. He was followed by a Elderly mare in a gray track suit and a black beanie. King Mac climbed into the ring, It groaned and strained with each step as he took his corner. When he turned around he found Loo, He looked surprised for a second as Loo gave him a weak smile, Then he broke into roaring laughter, his laugh sounded like somepony was dragging a cinder block over a concrete sidewalk. When Finished laughing the elderly mare that followed him in dropped a giant barrel full of apples next to him, he smiled and took the barrel in his gloves, he tipped the barrel over his muzzle and devoured the contents. Loo was covered with bits of apples, juice, and slobber as she stood frozen, unable to look away from the disgusting spectacle. When he finished he threw the barrel over his shoulder out of the ring, then he plopped on his stool (which was a crushed car from a auto salvage yard.) then he belched loudly and sat their with a look of satisfaction plastered on his face. “Where am i? Cuz i swear i was in reality an hour ago” Loo thought out loud. The Ref (still the one from the last fight) inched into the ring like a child approaching a dinosaur skeleton in a museum. He shook with fear as he managed to speak “O-oo-Kay, k-k-keep I-it c-c-c-cl-clean and c-come o-out b-b-boxing, b-bump g-ggloves a-and w-w-wait for the d-d-ding!” Finished, he darted back for the ropes and hid behind the boxing ring King Mac met Loo in the middle of the ring, He gave her a murderous look as he bumped her gloves so hard Loo swore her wrists were in her elbows for a second. The he took a few steps back and waited. *Ding Loo Gulped as she approached King Mac with her guard up. Both King Mac and Loo danced around each other before King Mac let loose a jab. Loo Dodged it easily due to his lumbering stature. King Mac threw a couple more with the same results, King Mac became frustrated and lifted his glove to deliver a devastating punch. Loo saw her opportunity and delivered a quick uppercut, King Mac moved his defense to his face, leaving his gargantuan gut unprotected. Loo let a flurry of jabs into King Macs abdomen stunning him, he took a few jabs until he lifted his guard up again. Infuriated that his weakness had been found, King Mac started jumping around uncontrollably in the ring, Loo struggled to keep her footing as the canvas rumbled beneath her, eventually she slipped and fell hard on the canvas. As she tried to get back up King Mac fell to the ground with a earth shaking BOOM! Loo sat there on her gloves and knees confused, King Mac Landed on his belly with his feet facing Loo. Loo cocked her head and was in no way ready when his feet shot out and impacted her face. Loo flew into the ropes, the ropes recoiled and send her back to King Mac who Bucked her again with greater force. Loo was helpless as she was pounded over and over by King Mac’s feet. As Loo took the beating, her mind raced, she looked for an opening and found one. Loo got an idea. After the ropes forced her into King Mac feet she jumped over them as they kicked and with the extra momentum, she delivered a kick of her own to King Mac’s rear. King Mac slid to the other side of the ring and crashed into the ropes, which recoiled and sent his massive form flying back at Loo. Loo stared King Mac's hurdling form down, Then with gritted teeth she cocked back a massive uppercut, then she threw it just before King Mac crashed into her. The punch landed on King Mac’s belly a deafening BOOM! King Mac flew straight up high into the air as his body was slowly covered in Rainbow colored smoke, He hung in the air for a second before gravity took over, he flailed around in effort to stop himself as he was sent careening back to the ring. Loo Dived out of the ring and onto the grimey concrete floor and covered her head mere seconds before King Mac body Impacted the ring, a huge explosion rattled the walls of the sports hall as everyone was blinded by the bright colorful mushroom cloud. Once the dust settled Loo peeked out from behind her gloves, She cautiously walked up to the remains of the boxing ring. All of the canvas top was gone and in its place was a deep dark hole. “Where did he go?” the ref asked emerging from under the stands where most of the crowd had taken cover. “He fell into the basement” Loo Answered simply. “But we don’t a basement” The ref explained scratching his head from under his green hat. “Well, you do now” Loo Said. Loo Turned around to see Rainbow with a look of astonishment on her face, and her eyes were leaking small amounts of “liquid pride.” Rainbow took Loo in a warm embrace, and choked out “That,...was,...so,awesome” as Loo basked in the pride of her mentor she felt something heavy and made of leather be draped over her shoulder. She Broke the hug to see what it was, It was a belt with a beautiful gold boxing themed emblem on the front that said, “Minor circuit champion.” Loo Looked over to the ref who draped it over her shoulder with a confused look. The Ref smiled and looked over to the destroyed boxing ring that now had the elderly mare that came in with King Mac looking down into the abyss for her fighter. “I’d call that a knock out” The Ref said with a smile. Loo stood there in awe as very slowly the crowd slowly came out of their hiding places and applauded for their new champion, Rainbow lifted Loo onto her shoulder as Loo raised the belt in her hands over her head in triumph.
