Baby dragon vs Cowmare: CARnage mayhem!

Hello, my fellow literature followers. CPM here. Well after my super rant in the previous chapter, I don’t have much else to say except thanks for the votes XD. Nonetheless, I think I should worry you no more. The ado is now finished. Therefore, here is the next chapter of The misadventures of MLP: FIM around the world, Baby Dragon vs Cowmare: CARnage mayhem!!!

The disclaimer in the words of any girl named Lauren Faust: “Remember, the story is yours, but the rest is mine, OK?”
************************************************************************************************************************************************************

After the little shout of announcing, which made me feel like an awesome announcer in fighting games, I started making the arrangements for the battle between the fiery baby dragon and the stubborn cowpony.

“Very well then! Let me put the next race please so I can make it as interesting as I can. Do you both agree?” I asked Spike and Applejack. After they both nodded, I kept on putting the stuff in this. A final between this two will certainly HAVE to be as good as I can make it.

“Okay then. Here will be the rules on this. The next track I’m putting is called “Tropical Dream” which-” “Oh? So this…game actually has some sort of exotic view?” I was interrupted by Rarity’s insight. Or as I like to call it, a moment that makes me want to facepalm, regardless if said insight came from one’s favorite character.

“Um…Rarity…it is still a track for racing. And if you haven’t realized it yet, which to tell the truth makes me surprised, the tracks are put in a sort of city. Whether you like how those look, is a different thing altogether. I’ll be sincere, I care for how you win the race and the crashing things than anything else. Or at least in this game, ok?” I told her, this in turn making her nod and put her in a pensive form. ‘Man I love pensive faces. Especially in cute ponies. Luna and Rarity ROCK!’ I thought in joy and glee. But I still have a job to do.

“Anyway…the track is the second longest and in my opinion, the second most difficult as well. It has 1 lap as well (I am putting this regardless of how it is in the game this time. It’s better that way XD), but it is still long enough in to make it last. I will also choose for both of you the best car in the game in my opinion, the “Euro Circuit Racer” (do I need to tell you to look up stuff you may not know about by now? XD). With that the rest will also be the same car this way. That said, the rest is going to be same. Is that okay with you?” I once again asked to the soon to be racers-to-the-death. And once more the response was a nod while I started pressing buttons.

“Okay then. Just a minute…THERE! Now in the name of one of the most famous arcade games in this world….START YOUR ENGINES! (HELL…YES. Nuff said. You Americans should know this feeling better than I do XD)” I shouted, putting myself in a rigid, feet together position. I was on the top of the world in my mind. Unfortunately, the rest was just looking me like I was Pinkie…or something like that. At that ended the moment that I’ve always wanted to do, and went back to my less crazy mode.

“Sorry…I’ve always wanted to say that. Don’t worry, I will also explain what arcade is soon enough as well. You guys allow me to have this kind of moments. If I didn’t love you enough by now, I do more now haha” I chuckled, this in turn making the others blush a little. “Anyways, Applejack, who would you like to assist you in the race” I asked said pony.

“Well I would like Princess Luna tah help me out one more time. If you wouldn’t mind that is Princess” She answered. At this she quickly added.”You don’t mind do you, Twilight?”

“Oh no, don’t worry AJ. I’ve already played once more than Princess Luna. Besides, I think I’ve had enough…boost for now (giggle)” She said, a bit of mirth at the end of her answer.

“In that case, I shall assist again Applejack. I must admit that the feelings in this game are rather…strong” She said, blushing a bit as well. I couldn’t help but put on a smug smile. ‘Yes…come to the dark side. Soon the feelings will overwhelm once more. And your true nature…will be UNLEASHED……muahahahahaha’ I thought, an evil chuckle threatening to escape my mind. Hopefully, my mind will not say something stupid. Again. ‘But still, I’m glad that they are taking the games in more stride than I thought. Then again, I haven’t showed them the more hardcore stuff, like Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, or Devil May Cry. I need to really consider such thoughts’

“Very well then. Both of you are ready?” I asked them, see if everything was set for a battle of titans…or something like that.

“Ah’m ready. The real question is, Are you ready to take this bull and see if you can handle the rodeo, Spike?” Applejack taunted a smug smile on her face.

“Oh, I’m ready. More than you are, my friend. I will flare you UP!” Spike countered, him too with a smug smile on his face.

“In that case, the race begins in 5…4…3…2…1…NOW!” I counted down.

And with that the race began.

(If you want read the next thing with these five songs. They should be more than enough, and I should have done this before. Sorry. But for now enjoy. This game has one of the best soundtracks that fits the game itself in my opinion XD)

Since Applejack was on the same controller as before, Spike was again player one, and therefore was on third place, and AJ on fourth…however the advantage was for Applejack, surprisingly.

“Well…better get the tough ones first” She said. And with that went straight to ram Spike’s car…and making it go into the wall, crashing it, and earning her a Wall Takedown.

“What!? Oh come on!” Spike protested.

“Yeehaw! I finally got one o’ those! See ya later, mah slow dragon. Princess, You know what to do!” She slyly told him as Luna pressed the boost button.

“Nuh uh. You. Are…ON!” Spike yelled. His yell reminded me of Rarity in the “Look before you sleep” episode. And that was both cool, and a bit strange.

While the crash left Spike in last place, he quickly recovered up until the car above him. And when he did well…I felt sorry for the car.

“YOU’RE MINE!” At the yell, he slammed in the other car into a Big Rig, Earning him an explosion and the Big Rig Takedown. “AJ! ...You’re next” He growled. Man, they’re scarier than I am. Awesome.

“Let’s see about that” She countered, as she was in second place almost getting to the first car. “As for you mah friend…here come the horns!” And with her cry, she shunted the car next to her, however when she did it she made it crash…but she didn’t see the van in front of her.

“YEE-WHAT?!” She yelled completely surprised by the out of nowhere van and that made her crash. That is what I call “Victory interruptus. Revenge of the van!”

“Excellent. Soon I’ll be with you…sugarcube” Spike taunted, mimicking Applejack’s famous name. ‘Oh shiiiiiit. Beware of the mimicking. It is a dangerous weapon’ I thought, suddenly feeling worried for Spike’s health.

“Oh no ya DIDN’T!” Indeed, AJ was seriously pissed off.

By now they were at a quarter of the track heading into the roadway. And Spike was right behind Applejack, who was had fallen at the third place.

“Now it’s my turn AJ. Here I come!” Spike yelled, and then went to ram Applejack’s car…and almost crashed into the wall because AJ had avoided said attempt.

“Not so fast! This pony ain’t giving up so easily” Applejack said.

“Well…neither is this dragon!” Spike retorted and went to try a different tactic this time. He went and boosted, passing in front of AJ but then stayed just above her. ‘Hmmmmmm…wait a minute…you sly dragon…blind and crash…smart’ I thought, recognizing what he was going to do.

“Well now you’re just making it easier. Princess…boost now!” Applejack screamed, this in turn making said monarch to press the magic button, not before clarifying.

“Please Applejack. Call me Luna now. I cannot help but feel…defiant in this game. LET US LEAD YOU TO VICTORY!” She said, once again slipping a bit into the Royal Canterlot Voice.

“You fell for it!” And in the moment Spike yelled he swerved to the right…revealing the bus in front of him.

“Whoa Nelly” Applejack never stood a chance and crashed head on with the bus, making her explode.

“YES! Ha-ha-ha it worked, see YOU later AJ” Spike taunted with a smug smile.

“Grrrrrrr. I’ll get ya for that!” Said orange pony threatened.

Now they were entering the Golden City part. And oh boy I knew crashes were there to be.

“Whoa! Gah! Close one…” “Phew…Wah! Whoa Nelly!” These were the screams of relief and close calls from AJ and Spike as they tried to escape the out of nowhere traffic and the pillars of said part of the track. Until…

“Phew…NO!” The sudden yell had come from Spike who wasn’t able to avoid a Tuk-Tuk in his side of the road. He was second and on the opposite way from Applejack, who was third.

“YEAH. Now for the-CRASH” Applejack was totally interrupted by the incoming car in front of her, which made her crash as well. When they both recovered they were in the in the same positions than before, but the other opponents had caught up to them as well. To my surprise, this caused an unexpected reaction in both the racers.

“Stay out of our way! This is between me and AJ!” Spike declared.

“He is right. This rodeo is for us. Don’t try to hog the show!” Applejack yelled. And what ensued was that the next two opponents in both their sides…well, they got a massive lesson of the phrase “YOU. OUT. NOW”

“Take this! And you take THIS! Out of my way!” Spike war cried. The car to his right went into a pillar. The one on his left, to a bus. OUCH. He went ballistics. ‘The end of this race will be better than a NASCAR finish. And I can’t believe I’m saying that’ I pondered.

“How ‘bout a bit of pushing and crashing, huh? Let’s make it a big one!” Applejack also war cried. She made a freaking Double Takedown by taking both cars at the same time going in similar ways like the ones Spike took away. ‘She did a Double Takedown…I’m in love…’ I thought, very impressed at such a feat. While I had done Triple Takedowns, the fact that she did a double while having zero to none experience is just downright awesome.

Now they were both exiting Golden City and entering the last part of the track, the one in Island Paradise. And they were quickly catching up to the car in the first place with the help of all the boost they had gained from their previous massacre. And when they did, when they were almost entering the jungle in the track something unexpected happened. They both tried to take out the car…only to crash into the other, making them start trading paint like in a freaking car movie.

“HEY! It was mine!” “No. That little fella was mine” “Back off!” “No you back off!”This was the argument between Spike and Applejack while they kept on trading paint through the jungle. After they got out, they separated and entered the very final part of the track. A part which I dread because something ALWAYS happened before the finish. ALWAYS.

“Okay guys. Final part of the track!” I yelled, trying to make myself heard…and to put some tension in the dear racers heh heh. Suddenly AJ started trying like crazy to take out Spike, who was in front of her.

“Come on! Stay…Still!” Applejack yelled out of frustration. Spike in the meanwhile had a smug smile so big that was worthy of Pinkie Pie, who by now was eating her proverbial nails…and doing so anyway.

“Sorry. Not gonna happen!” Spike taunted. Suddenly the song “U can’t touch this” by MC Hammer came to mind. DOH! Oh well…I’ll indulge. ‘Pum tzzz pum pum tzzz tzzz pum pum tzzz tzzz pum pum…can’t touch this…’ I started chanting to myself. Damm that catchy song.

They were now in the final turn and Spike was still in front avoiding the madmare attempts from AJ to take him out.

“I’ll get ya Spike!” She yelled.

“I don’t think so!” Spike countered.

“Yes I will!” “No you won’t!” “Yes!” “No!” “Yes!” No!” “Yes!” “No!” “YES!” “NO!” “YES!” “NO-WOAH!” “WHA-WOAH!” While they were exchanging taunts, they completely forgot about the car in first place. And with that they completely missed the huge accident involving him and a tanker. Therefore, right before Spike and AJ reached the end in a photo finish (HAH!), they both crashed and ended the race like that. Problem was we didn’t know immediately who won…because the screen went black. ‘Oh no…no you don’t!’ I quickly thought, cursing the lack of luck. But it wasn’t me I was worried, rather the pony and dragon that just played. And after a few seconds the silence was broken by a simultaneous yell from Spike and Applejack.

“AND WHO WON!?”

“What happened Arcanel? We MUST know what happened” Princess Luna told me. Truth was, I was almost as anxious as them.

“(Sigh) I can’t believe this happened…Sometimes the console will “tilt”, making the game stop for an indefinite amount of time” I explained with frustration at the situation.

“Meaning we won’t know who won until it “untilts”?” Spike asked, growing more anxious as he progressed in his statement.

“Yes…But don’t worry! I think I can do something about it” I quickly added, trying to make their anxiety and frustration go to unseen levels. So I went and did what most of us gamers do when this kind of thing happens. I went and opened the lid and closed it again. Then I prayed for the best. ‘Que funcione, que funcione, que funcione, que funcione, que funcione… (may it work, repeatedly)’ I started chanting in Spanish. Then, the image appeared again. ‘YES! Thank you experience’ I exclaimed in my mind.

“Well, the screen is back!” I announced. This causing a conjoint reaction from everyone.

“And?”

“The winner…is…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………APPLEJACK!” I announced.

“YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!” The amount of joy and victory in her face…was amazing. She even throwed her hat in the air to catch it with her head.

“Oh man…” Spike lamented. I felt sorry for the little guy. He is a good gamer. May Celestia watch over his gaming soul.

“With this I declare Applejack the winner of the tournament!” I once more announced. “Congratulations Applejack!” I complimented her.

“Thank you Arcanel” She said. Then the rest came to compliment her as well.

“Good job AJ” Twilight said.

“Indeed. Congratulations on your win Applejack” Celestia told her.

“That was AWESOME AJ! You were great!” Pinkie exclaimed.

“G-Good W-Work Applejack” Fluttershy whispered.

“I agree. Good win darling” Rarity assured.

“Good thing you won. After all, Spike beated me!” Rainbow told her.

“Good victory Applejack. Next time though, I will win for sure!” Spike also assured, offering his claw for shaking, which she took of course.

“I’m glad I was of your assistance in your victory. Congratulations Applejack” Luna said.

“Aww..Thank you guys. But stop, Ah’m getting mighty embarrassed right now (giggle)” She said with joy, also earning a giggle from us all.

“Well if anything, did you enjoy the game?

“YES!” Was the response from all the ones who played the game. At this I couldn’t help but grin and chuckle.

“I’m glad. But I know this type of games isn’t for everyone. Therefore, the next game that I will put will be best for someone else. Is that okay?” I asked them after I finshed explaining, to which I receive a nod from them all.

“In that case I will say that the next game is something that I think Twilight, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna will enjoy a bit more” I declared. This in turn, made said ponies to turn their attention to me with faces of wonder.

“Is that so?” Princess Celestia asked.

“Well…it involves a LOT of strategy and thinking, sooooooo…” I trailed off, letting them soak up on the information. At this I got a response from Twilight and Luna this time.

“I see. You have attracted my attention Arcanel” Said purple pony declared.

“I agree with Twilight Sparkle. I am interested in this…game of yours that you speak” The moon ruler said. After that I went and expected the response from the other monarch, but when she said nothing I spoke first.

“And you, Princess Celestia? Do you want to play as well?” I asked her in hope to make the most powerful being of Equestria indulge herself into a creation of human gaming.

“Well…I cannot say for sure until I have seen this game, now can I?” She said, smiling a little. Heh, I really like her attitude.

“Fair enough, in that case wait for a little minute” I told them and went to look in my box of games.

************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Well…that is that XD. I now want you to guess what game I have in mind for them. But I’ll give you a clue. It is a game from the company called Atlus. But that’s all I’m saying XD. And now I have an announcement to make. I will be going to Peru today to visit my family there. Since I’m half Peruvian from my father’s side, I have like half the rest of my family there. And I haven’t been to it for like 6 years. And I’ve been looking forward to this trip for a while. Therefore, I don’t THINK I’ll be able to post anything for the next almost 3 weeks or so. If I can then I will, but I don’t think so. This is to let you know that. With that out of the way, I am putting my infamous catchphrase. Comment, R&R, let your inner Grammar Nazi out, haters ignored, flamers abhorred, etc, etc. CPM out and see you soon!

Ok, I'll bet it's some sort of strategy game, I don't know what it is so I can't spoil the surprise. Keep it up, Arcanel, and maybe you can introduce them to me someday. It's been my lifelong dream to meet them, so maybe someday.... Maybe someday....

[tubaguy]

Awesome man
also, u a race fan cpm?

[Arcanel]

292007 Don't worry. if anything I don't think I'll get someone to see what the gane is. Oh don't worry. If he can he might be able to, buuuuuuut...don't take his enjoyment away for now. Anayway thank you for participating in the guessing anyway.
292291 Well...if I am able to type a chapter, then my idea is to post it immediately. Regardless like I said, I don't think I will be able to do it. I can only hope for now. However I WILL keep on thinking new ideas for the fic itself. Like I have told many times, if you want to add your two cents then be my guess. Like, for example, saying who else you want to be in this fic, or if you have an specific group of characters in a certain place and an idea based on that then do please write it, and I'll consider. (Keep in mind I have another 7 unmovable group of characters and places already formed and with their initial plot so I may not take it in consideration if it breaks one of this ok. Other than that, do your best).
292774 I thank you my good friend. It makes my soul feel hella better, so thanks for the praise. As for your answer, YES!. I haven't been able to be on a true race in live, but I always try to see some of the races in the world if they pass them on my country. AKA NASCAR, F1 (my favorite), WRC, and more. Let it be said , if I was ever able to participate or see on a demolition derby then BRING IT ON!. Of course the others take priority first.

Along with being a Monster Truck fan, I live right by Infineon Raceway so
But yeah, this story is awesome, a good twist on the ponies on earth idea

[Arcanel]

296715 Hmmm...monster trucks... I say BRING THE DESTRUCTION! And...you...live...by...Infineon...Raceway...regardless of the fact that I know the track thanks to playing every goddamned Gran Turismo game...Dude...GIVE ME YOUR LIVING PLACE!. Seriouly though, even if you were lazy (not saying you are) there would be no logical reason to NOT go there, even if you don't like cars or racing at all...(drools). Okay, my envy aside , thank you very much. But if you thought that Arcanel's arc (HAH!) had a twist, then the rest of the groups might give a bigger "WTF!" and/or "why didn't I thought of this?" and/or "interesting" and/or "excellent" feeling than you expect. Or at least, that is my intention. After all, I know that POE stories are something already done and I needed something else aside from what I would do with Arcanel to impress people. Hopefully the next group I am doing will make you think any of the previous feelings. And let me tell you something in the midst since I am responding now. I have managed to start typing the next chapter so...I may be able to post a chapter after all. That said, once again, thank you for the comment. I wish you many excitements in Infineon Raceway and my story.
