Episode 2: Major League Drama!! // by trahzo //------------------------------// Big Mac went down the hallway feeling proud. "You can do it brother!" "My, Big Mac, I had no idea you were the older brother of one of Rarity's friends." "You know Rarity?" "Yes, she is an absolute gem, but truth be told, when she told me about Spike, I think in my honest opinion that he should stop pursuing Rarity! He should be with your little sister Applebloom." "You and the whole town partner!" "Hahahaha! *sigh!* Come Applejack, Cheerilee is waiting for us in the audience! Good luck!" "You can do this Big Mac!" "YEEEEAAAAAH!!!" "Excuse me sir, but how'd you get into the booth?" Asked Black Kirin. Then Bulk Biceps ran away! "That was weird!" Commented Ember! "Well anyway, welcome audience to the Major Circuit of the WVBA!" "Tonight we got the relatives to heroes!" "Whoa Ember, that sounds awesome!" "Yep, in this corner, we got the father of the bearer of the Element of Generosity, father of the one who designed the Mare Do Well costume, father of Radinace! Ladies and gents give it up for Hondo Flanks, or as he's known in the ring, Piston Hondo Flanks!" Then everyone cheered. "Finally, someone other than you that the crowd likes!" Said Spike. "And in this corner, the older brother to the bearer of the Element of Honesty, Older brother to the Super Strong persona of Mare Do Well, older brother to Mistress Marevelous, give a round of applauds to the Minor Circuit Champion: BIG MAC! "I honestly want you as a son-in-law, so please ask out Sweetie Belle, I don't want that video gamer Button Mash dating Sweetie Belle, I think he's a loser, and he'll still be a loser if they were to get married!" Hondo told him. "Sorry Hondo, but Spike will be marrying Applebloom! If Snails dates Applebloom and eventually they get married, we'll just simply not welcome him into the family!" "Wh-what?" Spike said in confusion "You better take that back kid!" "Nnope!" Then they started butting heads! "Ember, check it out." "Yeah Black Kirin Round 1 hasn't even begun and already we see sparks! What do you think they said to each other?" "Well, whatever it was, it must have been something very offensive!" "Hey hey hey, wait for the 2 dings, and also, let AB and Sweetie Belle date who they want, I bet you wont regret it if Button Mash & Snails become your son-in-laws!" "Spike, I'm pretty sure we'd regret letting those 2 become our in-laws!" "Worth a shot!" Then the bell rang! "Round 1, fight!" Spike declared with an un-amused face. The round started, Big Mac jabbed Piston Hondo Flanks as soon as he twitched his eyebrows, receiving a star! "Good job, no-one ever thinks to hit me as soon as I begin with my eye twi..." Then Big Mac jabbed him for a 2nd star before he could finish his sentence, then put in 2 good hooks when he tried recovering from the assault! Then Hondo Flanks tiptoed to his left, then his right, then back to the middle, then he started throwing a barrage of jabs which Big Mac blocked, then he dodged the strong hook at the end of the barrage! Hondo then crouched to his left and right trying to confuse Big Mac, then Big Mac dodged his left hook, and started punching Hondo! "Gah! Listen here, you are not going to have Spike! He's going to be my son-in-law!" "No, he's going to be my brother-in-law!" "I'm right here you guys, I'm getting really offended!" "Stay outta this, you're the only good match for my baby, and you will make sure Button Mash doesn't marry my Sweetie Belle!" "No, Spike will marry Applebloom, so that dang idiot Snails, doesn't move into the farm!" Big Mac snapped! "Sweetie Belle!" Then Hondo swung "Applebloom!" Then Big Mac swung "SWEETIE BELLE!!!" Then Hondo swung harder "APPLEBLOOM!!!" Then Big Mac swung harder "Whoa Ember, it seems that they are fighting over the referee's hand in marrying Applebloom or Sweetie Belle, which reminds me: Do you want to get your Cutiemark now? Then Join the Cutiemark Crusaders! They'll try literally everything to help you realize what you're skilled at!" "Wait, they're paying you to do commercials?" "Yep Ember, I'm getting paid extra!" "Oh, those guys are going to get chewed out by this flaming fox! For now, let's just get back to the fight!" "Listen here you guys, stop this arguement and get back to fight or I'll have the both of you disqualified!" They both apologized, and went back to hitting each other! Piston Hondo Flanks then tiptoed to his right, then left, then middle, and then Big Mac countered his incoming barrage, knocking him down! "1...2...3...4...5..." "I am not gonna lose to this kid, who can't admit that you belong to Sweetie Belle!" Then Spike face palmed. "Just fight!" Then after Big Mac dodged his right uppercut, he threw a delayed jab, getting a 3rd star! Then Hondo twitched his eyebrows, but was hit in the face by Big Mac. "What does it mean when you twitch those eyebrows?" "I'm preparing for my jab!" "Why don't you just do the jab?" "It's my thing, let's just leave it at that!" Then Big Mac and Hondo collided fist after fist! These 2 would not let up! That's when Hondo was knocked down again! "1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8..." "NO!" "Come-on, come-on, fight!" Spike declared! Then Hondo got ready! "Ember, he's getting ready for his Special!" "Yep, he's going to use Catch of the Day! Where a tsunami of water surrounds the ring, and with in that tsunami, fish, that will relentlessly jump at you! Then after the assault ends, Hondo will try to humiliate the opponent by pulling his shorts off with a fishing pole, then throw a hard double punch to finish it off!" "Oh yeah, and speaking of which: Come see the new show coming this fall to Animal Planet, Amazing Catches where Hondo Flanks goes around the world and attempts to catch legendary aquatic creatures of the deep!" Black Kirin advertised Big Mac punched away all of the fish, then he grabbed the fishing line before it could get caught in his shorts, then twirled the line around so Hondo could get tangled in it! Then Big Mac charged towards the tied up stallion, then stopped to give him a 3 star uppercut! Hondo was then untangled from the line, as he twirled toward the edge of the mat! "It's over! TKO!" Spike announced! "Yee-haw! Spike is mine!" "No, he's mine!" Replied Hondo Flanks "Um hey!" Black Kirin called out! "What?! Can't you see we're arguing?" they both exclaimed. "Bigamy is legal in Equestria!" Ember and Black Kirin replied. Then they turned their heads to Spike! "Oh Spike, would you be willing to date Applebloom & Sweetie Belle, then eventually marry them?" They asked, while inching closer and closer with creepy faces. Spike then walked backwards in fear, but then as he tried to run, he bumped into Applebloom & Sweetie Belle. "Girls, please tell them that you can date & marry whoever you want!" "But wanna date, then marry you!" They said in unison. "Ah, betrayed by my own words!" Then all 4 hugged Spike. "We'll be one big happy family one day!" said Hondo "Eeyup, and I can't wait to see the 1st episode of your new show."
