//------------------------------// // The Deal // Story: Wonderbolt opportunity // by LightingStrike //------------------------------// Rainbow Dash always wanted to join the Wonderbolts when she was just a filly.So she decided to go up to Cloudsdale with FlutterShy so she could have company while flying up there. She told FlutterShy all about the deal that Spitfire made with her 10 years ago when she was 15. "Wow, so Spitfire has been waiting this whole time to see if you can defeat her in a gladiator fight to be able to join the Wonderbolts?" Asked Fluttershy. "Yes, and we are having the fight today at noon," said Rainbow Dash. "That is awesome. I am so happy for you Rainbow Dash," said Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash and FlutterShy went into a diner and ate together. The diner's theme was gladiator so it was Rainbow Dash's opportunity to learn what the best way is to defeat an opponent in a gladiator fight. "To not get killed out there you would want to parry slashes with you own javelins or sword. Or you could simply dodge it by letting it hit your shield," said a mysterious colt far away. Rainbow Dash walked up to him "Hi I am Rainbow Dash. May I ask who you are?" Asked Rainbow Dash. "we already met dear, don't you remember me?" asked the colt. "NO! That is why I asked your name dumb ass." said Rainbow Dash "Then let see if you know my original form Rainbow Dash," said the colt. The colt than transformed into Queen Chrylisas. "Now do you remember me dear? said Queen Chrylisas. "Now I remember you. Too bad the other mane six are not here with me, because if they were we would kill you with the elements of harmony, said Rainbow Dash. "Why not just fight me in a gladiator arena like you would soon to have to do with Spitfire," suggested Queen Chrylisas. "How did you know about that Queen Chrylisas?" "Oh I know a lot of things other ponies are clueless about, for example I know how fillies are made and I believe you and FlutterShy would make great fillies," said Queen Chrylisas snickering away "Why not. WAITER BRING OUT THE GLADIATOR ARENA!" Ordered Rainbow Dash with that sentence all the Pegasus flew up to avoid the terrible vibration. After all the commotion was finished there was a plain Gladiator arena with seats above for the crowds who wanted to watch. "Please pick your weapon," said the waiter. Rainbow Dash picked a javelins and a shield with a Medusa head on it. And, Queen Chrylisas picked just a normal shield. Then they putted on their ocrea. They also putted on the galea. And finally they putted on the last guard for their body, the galerus. "Why didn't you grab a shield changeling queen?" Asked Rainbow Dash. "Wanted your death to be faster huh?" "I want to prove I don't need a stupid shield to win a gladiator fight," said Queen Chrylisas. And right at those few words the fight began. Queen Chrylisas charged at Rainbow Dash, but Rainbow Dash parried the sword with her javelin. Then Rainbow Dash jabbed Queen Chrylisas with her shield. Which made Queen Chrylisas loose balance for the perfect opportunity for Rainbow Dash to go in for the attack. so Rainbow Dash then stabbed Queen Chrylisas with her javelin. "Good game, but I wish you were a more worthy opponent," said Rainbow Dash.
