WHERE FIGHTS ARE SETTLED IN ONE CHAPTER! NO RESEARCH! NO COMMENTARY! NO HORSECRAP! IT'S MY LITTLE PONY ONE CHAPTER BEAT DOWN! GO! Episode 5: Twilight Sparkle vs. Sunset Shimmer It was nighttime at the Canterlot High outdoor auditorium. The event that shook the school involving the Rainbooms vs. the Dazzlings is over. The world is saved and the Dazzlings are defeated. Things are turning out slowly now. Twilight, back to her normal human form, sat on the stage, looking at the stars. Tomorrow, she, Spike, Ben, Nyx, Phobos, Megan, Tough and Omega are heading back home, but for now, some peace and quiet. "Hey there." A familiar voice spoke as Sunset appears, coming over to Twilight. "Oh hey, Sunset." Twilight said as Sunset sat down next to her. "Glad that things are back to normal." "Yeah, and everyone is teaching me better now...slowly but it's getting there." "Glad to hear that. I hope you will do much better now." Sunset pauses as she hesitates a bit. The girl then spoke up, "Hey listen, Twilight, better you go...I got a request to make." "Sure, what is it?" Twilight ask Sunset, pondering what the request will be. "I want to fight you." "What? Fight me? Why?" Sunset sighs as she explains, "I just want a friendly sparring before you head back home. Not a grudge match or to see who's better. That way, no matter who wins, there will be no hard feelings between us." Twilight pauses then smiles as she got up, speaking, "Well, I could use some practice in this human form...all right. Just no magic involved." "Why bother? We don't have any magic without the magic anyway!" Twilight got into position as Sunset took her coat off, both fighters are ready as their friends and loved ones came in, seeing this. "What are they doing?" Rainbow ask the others puzzled. "Looks like they're sparring." Applejack said in observation, looking concerned. Are those two going at it to see whose Celestia's better student? “Oh dear. Are they fighting again?” Fluttershy ask, getting worried. "Just a friendly spar." Ben assures the others with a chuckle, involving the human form of his mother. "Sunset is reformed after all, so this could be fun to watch." "Yay! Let's watch!" Pinkie giggles as the others stood around, watching. The two girls saw everyone else watching, waiting for the fight to begin. Principal Celestia spoke out, "If this going to be a friendly spar, then let it be a clean one, girls!" "Begin!" Vice-Principal Luna orders as the fight finally begins. Fight! Sunset rushes in and punches Twilight a few times. The girl blocks but got kicked down to the stage floor. Twilight jumps up as Sunset almost stomps on her. Twilight frowns as she kicks Sunset in the chest, knocking her across the stage. The others cringes as Twilight charges in, punching her opponent. Sunset got up and grabs Twilight, struggling with her. The audience watch on in amazement. So far, this fight appears to be fair. Suddenly both girls flashes as everyone covers their eyes. When all is clear, they saw that both girls are their pony hybrid selves once more. "What the hay?" Nyx ask confused yet amazement. "I thought that only happens when music is involved." "I guess friendly sparring counts as well." Spike explains with a shrug. "Well, if this must be a friendly spar, let's forgo the no magic rule, okay?" Twilight ask Sunset with a shrug. It's obvious that the girl still don't know anything about normal human fighting. "May as well. I work better with magic anyway." Sunset said in agreement with her friends. Sunset fires magic blasts at Twilight who took to the sky. The former frowns at the Alicorn Hybrid as she jumps up, manages to knock Twilight out of the sky. The princess back kicks her opponent off, using magic to grab Sunset, slamming her a few times before letting go. This is supposed to be a clean fight after all. Sunset in concern begins using magic to throw stuff at Twilight but the mare blocks them with her shield. But she got careless at one point and got hit in the gut. "Sorry!" Sunset apologizes as she rushes over and kicks Twilight, knocking her down. "Again, sorry!" "You're forgiven!" Twilight calls out as she uses her magic to throw energy shots at Sunset, hitting her before punching her back. Sunset recovers as she stood in front of Twilight, exhausted. The audience watches on as the two girls charge at each other, ready to give it all they got. Both of them connect and... A slam echoes throughout the area as both girls hit each other. Twilight and Sunset ends up stopping after running past each other. A pause as everyone is wondering who won...until Sunset groans as she fell to the floor, unconscious. "A winner!" Ben calls out as everyone got to the stage. He helps his girlfriend up a bit. "You okay, Twilight?" "Yeah, I'm fine." Twilight said as she changes back to normal. "Wow, didn't think this would happen?" Rarity and Fluttershy helps Sunset up as the white girl smiles, speaking, "I think you did very well in giving it your all, darling." "Thanks." Sunset said with a smile. She came over to Twilight and held out her hand. "Good match, Twilight." Twilight pauses then smirks as she shakes Sunset's hand, saying, "Same to you." "Next time, have your spars outside the auditorium please." Luna said in frustration to the girls. Everyone laughs at that. KO! THIS MATCH'S WINNER...Twilight Sparkle!!! Coming up next time...Grimmore vs. Dark Curse!
