//------------------------------// // Battle of the WHAT?! // Story: I Killed Fiddy Men, Not Ponies // by LtMajorDude //------------------------------// Cotton leaned against the wall. "Ah think heard about Gribble talkin' about a Rainbow Rocks or somethin'. Didn't pay attention. Just great." "So dang ol' search and desist, yo?" Patch suggested with a nervous smile. "Might as well." Cotton mumbled as he walked into one of the hallways. "Ah AM the janitor after all." The Pupils followed Cotton as they both went to the lockers. There, they found most of the students. Cotton stared at them and realized one thing. "Why do they look like they hate each other?" He said as he walked away. Only to bump into someone. Cotton widen his eyes when he saw who he bumped into. "Hello Sunset Shimmer..." Cotton angrily muttered as he crossed his arms. Sunset Shimmer gasped and held her right arm as she looked away, a sad face was plastered on her face. "H-Hey Cotton." She said quietly. Cotton blinked, who was expecting a rude comment or something. "What? No shin-less joke?" Sunset sighed as she wiped away a small tear that came out of her right eye. "Alright." She said as she faced towards Cotton. "First off, I'm REALLY sorry for calling you all those things. I know you won't forgive me, since everyone here hates me, but I just wanted to let you know that I won't call you those things ever again." Cotton gawked her. "Who are you and what have you done with Sunset Shimmer?!" He thought. "Umm..." Cotton said as he put his left hand on the nervous girl's right shoulder. "Yer forgiven, Ah guess. Don't worry about it." Sunset let out a tiny smile as she pulled Cotton in a hug. Cotton continued to blink. The rest of the Pupils watched this. "Something must of happened that made this girl go from a bitch to an stereotypical abused girl or something." Phonsawan said as he scratched his head a bit. "She is truly a beauty." Gilbert smiled. "And to think she was once a beast." "I thought you were gay?" Rusty asked. "I am." Gilbert devilishly replied as he grinned at Big Macintosh, who was passing by. Big Macintosh walked a bit faster as Gilbert winked at him. "Ugh." Jimmy blurted out. "Come on." Cotton muttered. "Let's find Mark and Ben. They can explain what's happening." The Pupils followed Cotton as he walked around. He stopped when he heard some voices arguing. He ran to the source of arguing, which led him to one of the classrooms. "Look you purple pig." A boy viciously hissed. "Just stay out of our way, or else my friend here will beat you up!" Cotton blinked as he identified that voice to be... "Mark?" "Come on, Twilight." Applejack said as she, Twilight, and her friends walked out of the room. Twilight seemed to be a bit hurt, not physically, but mentally. They left, not noticing Cotton and the Pupils. Cotton walked into the classroom, seeing Mark and Ben leaning against the wall, each of them had an electric guitar in their arms. "Hey Mark and Ben. What was that about?" Cotton asked. "Oh look." Ben grunted. "He's actually being friendly with us, just like Sunset." "We saw you talking to her, old man." Mark growled. "I shoulda known you woulda be on her side..." "Wait what?" Cotton mumbled in confusion. "Hey man, dang ol' chill man." Patch said as he walked up to Mark. "Just dang ol' chill pill Advil PM, I tell yo-" Patch was interrupted as Ben punched Patch in the face. "Scram, you shin-less piece of crap!" Mark roared as he violently pushed Cotton to the ground. "I want to win this damn contest, Cotton, and I know you're trying to take it away from me! Some goddamn friend. I'd be better off with Trixie. And I know that she's a total bitch. But compared to you, she's freakin' Fluttershy!" Patch got back up, blood leaking from his nose. "So go back to your rocking chair, old fart." Ben hissed as he took out his pole. "You are not wanted here." Cotton got back up, a furious scowl was on his face. "Come on Cotton." Antony said as he led an angry Cotton out of the classroom. "Let's get out of here." Cotton and the Pupils left the room, frowns were on their faces. "That Tojo should have aimed for your head, not your shins!" Mark shouted at the top of his lungs as he slammed the classroom door. Cotton punched a nearby locker in fury. "In the past, Mark and Ben were cool and Sunset Shimmer was a bitch. Now Sunset Shimmer is like Fluttershy and Mark and Ben are assholes?! What the hell is going on?!?!" Cotton yelled. "Come on." Phonsawan said as he put a hand on Cotton's shoulder. "Maybe the Mane 6 can tell us more." Cotton nodded with determination. "Isn't this a bitch?" Christian said as he used his t-shirt to wipe some blood from his hands. He grinned at three injured teenagers who were on the ground. "I don't get it. Why isn't our singing affecting you?!" The orange haired teenager hissed as she glared at Christian. "Your Justin Bieber screeching can't touch me." Christian said as he crossed his arms. "What do you want?" The purple haired teenager asked with rage in her eyes. "With the exception of certain kids, you can control the students in this school, yeah?" Christian asked as he raised his left eyebrow. "Uh, yeah." The blue haired teenager answered with fear and hatred in her voice. "Good. I'll keep it simple then." He replied as his evil grin grew larger. "I want you to kill Cotton Hill."
