//------------------------------// // Great Twilight // Story: NEWCOMER: Little Loo! // by heavy weapons brony //------------------------------// Loo relaxed in the locker rooms of the major circuit sports center. “I don’t know why we had to take a taxi here” Rainbow grumbled. “Because i can’t run Everywhere we go, Today i have a title bout and i’m not letting you tire me out again” Loo explained. “Don’t be so cocky, you only got the title bout if you can take out the next fighter” Rainbow said sternly. Loo gave her a raised eyebrow. “I’m just kidding kid, be as cocky as you want you got this” Rainbow snickered An Official poked his into the room and handed Rainbow a paper. Rainbow opened the paper, took one look at and,... “What?What?” Loo asked getting up from the bench. Rainbow wiped away her tears and handed Loo the paper, still failing to stifle her laughs. Loo opened it, it was the next fighters profile. The boxers name was “Great Twilight” from new Delhi, India. She was a purple mare, significantly taller and heavier than Loo, She wore a Turban with a big purple diamond in the front, she wore a sport outfit that looked like it had been made from green and purple dragon”s skin, Loo kept reading and found herself trying to keep back the laughs. The pictures that accompanied the profile where of her, reading. in the first she was reading a book called “Boxing for Derpys” While floating over a big round building, in the next she was reading a book called “Boxing for the stay at home Mother” while floating over a blissful mountain range and in the last she was reading a book called “The Eggheads guide to boxing” while floating over a giant river. Loo tried to stifle her laughs, But failed as she began rolling around on the floor with Rainbow. After a few seconds she came to a realisation. “Wait! floating!?” Loo yelled returning to the pictures. It was true, in each photo Great Twilight was floating magically with her legs crossed in a mediating position. By then Loo noticed Great Twilight was a unicorn, Loo never met a unicorn beyond seeing them perform street magic for extra bits. “I’m fighting a Unicorn!?” Loo yelled. “Kid you’ve fought a Unicorn before” Rainbow stated trying to lift her large frame from the floor. “When?” Loo asked. ‘Dubstep kid was a Unicorn” Rainbow Answered, getting up by using the bench for leverage. Loo scratched her head. “Don’t worry kid i’ve met a lot of unicorns, just a bunch of egghead nerds that spend more time with their nose in a book that with their lungs full of air, Most of them can’t even do magic beyond their special talent” Rainbow explained. Loo calmed down and took in a deep breath. “So unless the unicorns special talent is magic” Rainbow said sarcastically “You’ll be fine” loo and Rainbow took their corner in the ring and waited for Loo’s opponent, they didn’t have to wait long. The crowd all hushed as the sound of peaceful sitars and drums filled the room, Deep purple smoke emerged from the opposite hallway, from the cloud of smoke emerged Great Twilight. She floated like she did in the photos, slowly and majestically in a cross legged position with her eyes closed and a look of peace upon her face, She had a cape slung across her back but after that she wore the same outfit from the photos. Great Twilight floated into the ring, opened her eyes and let down her legs, the music ceased and the crowd cheered as Twilight took her corner. Great Twilight removed the cape from her back to reveal that it too was made from green and purple dragons skin, she rested the head of the dragon on the corner post of the ring and sat on her stood. Rainbow nudged Loos back “Hey kid! *Snicker* i just talked with somepony in the crowd, *Ha* they say she killed and skinned that dragon herself because it made too much noise while she was trying to read!, they also say,*hoo* she did it with one spell!” Rainbow then went back to cackling while Loo was hoping Rainbow really did have a reason to laugh. The ref marched into the center of the ring and grabbed the microphone dangling from the ceiling. “LLLLAAAIIIIDDDDEEEESSS and Gentlecolts, in this corner, the Devil from new dehli, The irate indian, The Mad Magician GGGGGGGGRRRRRREEEEEAATT TWILIGHT!!!” Great Twilight just sat their examining Loo without expression as the crowd cheered for her. “AAANNNDDD in this corner, She may be small but she’s got a big heart, as well as mean right uppercut, LLLLLLLLiiiiiitttllleee llllOooooo!” The ref let go of the the microphone and signaled for both fighters to enter the ring. Loo walked up to the ref while Great Twilight stayed in her corner. Loo gave her a confused look. Great Twilight then stood up, crossed her arms and closed her eyes, the jewel on her turban lit up just before she disappeared in a puff of dark purple smoke. Loo only had a second to be amazed before Great Twilight Appeared in another puff of smoke right in front of her. “Whoa!” Loo Yelled, taken back by the magic. Even the ref was mesmerised for a second, he blinked and returned to his senses. “Listen, i want a good clean fight’ The ref gave Great Twilight a look “Keep it clean and come out boxing, bump gloves and wait for the ding” The ref then took his side of the ring. Loo and Great Twilight stared each other down, Twilight still had a emotionless analyzing expression. *Ding! Both fighters advanced on each other. Great Twilight was the first to attack with a quick jab, Loo dodged it and countered, landing several jabs on Twilights face. Twilight recovered and took a step back, crossed her arms and closed her eyes, and her jewel sparkled just before she disappeared. Loo looked around her trying to find her opponent, she found her, and more. Purple smoke erupted all around her as about a dozen Great Twilights surrounded Loo. Loo let her punched fly, landing powerful jabs on every one, they all just turned into smoke. The real Great Twilight was the one standing behind Loo, She dodged Loo’s attack and disappeared again. Great Twilights once again filled the ring, Loo sprinted around dispatching them all, once she got to the real one Great Twilight just blocked her attack. Loo was exhausted, sprinting around the ring to find the real Great Twilight while punching the fake ones really took it out on her. Twilight beat Loo’s guard, Loo struggled to keep it up, her gloves felt heavy, and her throat burned. Great Twilight broke Loo guard and landed a few successful jabs. *Ding *Ding Great Twilight disappeared and reappeared in her corner. Loo stumbled, and weaved to her corner and plopped down on her stool. “Ya know what rainbow? that reading thing sounds pretty good, think i might give it a try later” Loo sputtered. “Listen Kid you're talking crazy, Loo you can’t be punching smoke, you need to find a better way to find the real Twilight, and blow this sucker away!” Rainbow said while she gave Loo water. “Blow this sucker away, blow, away,” Rainbows words echoed through Loo’s head. Loo got and idea. *Ding *Ding Loo Jumped up from her corner and approached the center of the ring. Twilight Popped up in a puff of smoke in front of her as the ref signaled for them to fight. Loo went for a body blow that connected and stunned Twilight, Twilight dropped her guard. Loo gave her a long series of jabs to the face before Twilight recovered. Twilight Smiled, stood back and disappeared, a dozen Twilights appeared around Loo bellowing a throaty laugh. Loo smirked, She took in a deep breath and blew all the fake Twilights away at once leaving only the real one. Twilights smile faded as Loo let loose a series of jabs. With the last punch Great Twilight staggered backwards. Seeing her opportunity Loo cocked back her famous uppercut, Loo gritted her teeth and let it fly. Just before it connected Great Twilights Jewel sparkled and she disappeared. “What!?” Loo Yelled in frustration. Then Three Great Twilights appeared in front of her, Loo examined them and found that two of them were slightly transparent, Twilight’s magic had been weakened, The solid one was the real one. Loo Cocked back another Uppercut as the three Twilights charged, The first one disappeared as soon as it hit Loo, but Loo let her uppercut fly when the second one reached her. The Sonicrainpuch hit solid pony and send Great Twilight Flying through the air and down to the canvas hard. The Ref counted the K.O. The crowd cheered when the Ref hit 10. When Loo and Rainbow entered the Locker room, Loo went immediately to her bag, Loo Pulled out a notebook and a pen, on the small note book was a list titled “Things that shouldn't be legal in boxing but for some reason are” Loo went down the list wrote in. “Friggin magic”
