(Warhammer Meets Mjolnir)

---God Empress Celestia vs. Thor: God of Thunder---

It is a calm morning. Princess Celestia is raising the sun as she does every morning. Philomena observes from atop her cage. There seems to be no way that this peace could possibly be disturbed. Oh, who am I kidding? A loud, masculine voice disturbs the tranquility.

"Imperium!"

For the first time in millennia, her magic falters a bit. Quickly, she guides the sun back to its proper path. However, in the midst of her calm, collected posture, her eyes shake slightly. She yanks open her wardrobe and uncovers the fake back panel.

"Philomena," she says while levitating several items out that can only be seen as outlined shapes. "Please inform Felix that Luna is in charge of the tasks for today. I have... an urgent call to take."

Before the phoenix can squawk an objection, Celestia has galloped out to her balcony and taken to the sky. Her items are now more of a solid unit all over her. The princess disappears in an explosive teleportation spell that creates an aftershock through the air.

Philomena warbles and sighs. It isn't that she hates Felix. She just really can't stand the sight of that bat.

A dark and stormy cloud hovers over a plateau. Atop that rock, a man with rippling muscles stands, covered in a suit of silver armor and a red cape. He holds a tiny hammer in hand, though it seems to hold a lot of gravity upon the weather.

A loud explosion is matched with a golden light. The other armored entity enters the arena. Each piece that she wears is somehow gold-er than gold. Her weapon of choice is a golden axe that she levitates at her side.

"Are you the one they call 'Celestia'?" asks the caped Avenger. "I am Thor, Prince of Asgard. In my home, it is customary to greet powerful warriors in combat."

Celestia's normally magenta eyes have a slight, bluish tint to them as she stares unwavering. "You do not wish to fight me."

Thor slams the head of his hammer against the palm of his opposite hand. "That is not your choice to make!"

Triumph or die!

Go for it!

The god of thunder shouts a battle cry. He takes a running start and swings his hammer. The god empress deflects it with a swing of her axe. Grunting in confusion, the man tries swinging it again. This is met with a similar deflection maneuver from the pony. However, after ten more collisions of their weapons, the axe is the first to break. Its head goes flying a couple miles away from the plateau.

"Your pitiful weapon cannot hope to stand against Mjolnir!" boasts Thor.

His next swing is at her directly. However, a golden spherical barrier instantly appears around her. The impact with the spell causes the god of thunder to reel back from the recoil. He shakes his head and grunts.

"Do not test me, Son of Odin," commands Celestia.

The other god, however, simply points an index finger. "Let us see if your magic can combat the very heavens!"

Thor raises his hammer up high. Lightning crashes from the storm cloud. The electricity channels straight into the hammer and flows through its wielder. But unlike a normal man, this electrocution is actually making him feel even stronger. With a growl, he shoots the electricity into a force in front of himself.

Celestia's horn glows like a fire's embers. Her magic shoots forth in a beam. It collides with Thor's lightning attack and the energies push against each other. Sparks leak out from all around the point of colliding streams. Thor grunts as he takes a step forward. Celestia's brow lowers. Magic and lightning continue their struggle.

With one more push forward and another step, Thor's sparks grow even more, rushing over and slamming full force into Celestia. She appears to flinch as blue sparks race all around her armor. The thunder god rushes forth and slams his hammer against her chest. She goes flying backwards through the sky.

He spins his hammer above his head very rapidly. With this self-propelled wind, he flies up and away. He takes another swinging aim at the pony. However, she vanishes in an explosive flame before he gets the chance. She reappears behind him and zaps his back with magic. He swings his arm behind him, but she vanishes again.

Soon, the air is full of fiery explosions as the empress teleports all over the place and fires magical shots from multiple directions in less than three seconds. Yelling defiantly, Thor starts spinning Mjolnir around rapidly. This time, the air around his position swirls around to match his hammer's pace. A large tornado pulls on the teleporting Celestia and she struggles to maintain her stability against the gale force winds.

Thor grabs his opponent and flies straight down. He slams her into the ground with enough force to disperse the tornado and create a huge crater in the earth.

"Asgard: 1! Imperium: 0!" he cries out as he gathers lightning in his hammer for the final blow.

Celestia's eyes glow in a solid blue light. A fiery explosion surrounds both of the combatants. The camera pans up about several miles. With this crazy camera, the audience can stare at the sun without going blind. A tiny explosion happens at one spot along the sun's surface. We zoom in to see Thor looking confused at the sudden change in location.

Another teleport removes only Celestia from the scene. We quickly transition back to the plateau. She appears, standing at one edge of the giant rock. She lights up her horn. The sun budges downward ever so slightly. A shooting star falls from the sun all the way to the other side of the plateau.

K.O.!

Transitioning over, the camera follows the way to a section of forest area. Though, it appears that a section is taken out by a ring of fire. We see a sizzling thunder god and a cape that's been set ablaze near the middle of that ring.

Celestia closes her eyes and sighs. Her ear flicks at another noise. When she turns around, she sees a half-naked green giant. This newcomer roars like a lion, and he looks twice as angry as one. In response, Celestia calmly floats the pieces of her axe into view and magics it back together.

This Lightning Round's victory goes to... Empress Celestia!

There is one last shot of Thor groaning and struggling to say words before the screen fades to black.
