Chapter 13 - Team Equestria Vs Team Earth.

The Santiago Bernabéu was electric with anticipation as Team Equestria and Team Earth prepared for an epic showdown. The clash between mythical beings and football legends promised a match to remember. The legendary Pierluigi Collina, renowned for his firm yet fair officiating, was set to ensure the game ran smoothly with the aid of MVAR, an enchanted version of VAR tailored for this extraordinary event.

As the referee blew the whistle, the ball was set in motion, and the intensity was immediate. Team Earth started with the ball, and the pace was frenetic right from the kick-off. Iniesta and Gerrard, displaying their trademark control and vision, dominated the midfield. Their fluid passing and sharp movements created a dynamic duo, constantly probing for weaknesses in Team Equestria's defense.

Amelia, positioned firmly in goal, observed the field with the keen eye of a seasoned goalkeeper. She noted how Discord, in stark contrast to the fervent activity around him, stood relatively motionless at his spot on the pitch. His eyes were wide with fascination, watching as the game unfolded, the energy and rhythm of football seemingly captivating him. He barely moved, almost as if he were a spectator rather than a player, his mind possibly wrestling with the conflicting emotions football stirred within him.

Despite Discord's initial hesitance, Team Equestria's players were anything but passive. Pinkie Pie, with her incredible reflexes and agility, guarded the goal with an almost supernatural prowess. Nightstalker, Solar Blaze and Iron Hoof formed an impenetrable wall in defence, their coordination and strength making it difficult for Team Earth to penetrate. Twilight Sparkle and Applejack worked tirelessly in the midfield, their chemistry evident as they intercepted passes and launched counter-attacks.

The ball moved swiftly between the players, the game a seamless blend of human skill and Equestrian magic. Iniesta dribbled past Nightstalker with a deft touch, only to be met by Iron Hoof's robust challenge, bouncing to Gerrard. Gerrard's long-range effort was parried spectacularly by Pinkie Pie, her exuberant smile belying the intensity of her concentration.

As the game progressed, Amelia's eyes were drawn to Whisper Wings, who lived up to her reputation as a phantom on the field. She moved with a ghostly grace, seemingly appearing out of nowhere to intercept passes and orchestrate attacks. Her presence was ethereal yet impactful, a silent commander guiding her team.

On the wings, Rainbow Dash and Rarity displayed their prodigious talents. Rainbow Dash's blistering speed left defenders in her wake, while Rarity's dribbling skills dazzled the crowd, weaving through opponents with elegant precision.

Back in goal, Amelia felt the pressure mounting as Team Equestria's attacks became more coordinated. A sudden surge from Whisper Wings saw her thread a perfect through ball to Discord, who, despite his earlier hesitation, found himself with a clear shot at goal. The spirit of chaos, driven by a mix of curiosity and the infectious energy of the game, took a powerful strike.

Amelia's reflexes kicked in, and she leapt to her right, just managing to tip the ball around the post. The crowd erupted in cheers, appreciating the save, while Discord stared at his hands, surprised by the rush of excitement that came from simply taking a shot.

The match continued, a thrilling blend of human and Equestrian prowess, with each team showcasing their unique strengths. Amelia's mind raced with tactical adjustments, her heart pounding with the adrenaline of the game.

As she neared the penalty area, she deftly cut inside, expertly manoeuvring the ball with quick, precise touches that left the defenders scrambling to keep up.

With Maldini still in pursuit, Rainbow Dash approached the edge of the box. She unleashed a powerful, low shot that skimmed across the turf with incredible velocity, heading straight for the bottom corner. The stadium collectively held its breath, eyes wide with anticipation as the ball zipped past the outstretched legs of the defenders and the diving form of Amelia.

With a mischievous grin, Discord received the ball and used his unpredictable agility to weave past the defenders. His dribbling was erratic and mesmerising, leaving the defenders bewildered and out of position as he danced around them. Busquets lunged for a tackle but missed as Discord sidestepped effortlessly.

As he approached the penalty area, Discord found himself one-on-one with Amelia.

With a quick glance upfield, he spotted Neymar Jr. making a run down the left flank. Maldini sent a precise long ball to Neymar, who controlled it effortlessly with his chest, bringing it down to his feet.

Neymar then began his signature dribbling, dancing past Iron Hoof with a series of rapid step-overs. As he neared the penalty area, he faced a double team from Solar Blaze and Ottar, but a slick back-heel pass found Iniesta in space. Iniesta, always calm under pressure, surveyed his options.

Seeing Ronaldo making a darting run towards the box, Iniesta threaded a perfectly timed and weighted through-ball between Nightstalker and Iron Hoof. The ball glided past the defenders, heading straight for Ronaldo, who had positioned himself perfectly for a one-on-one opportunity with Pinkie Pie.

Just as Ronaldo was about to latch onto the pass, Nightstalker showcased his defensive prowess. Anticipating the danger, he sprinted back with remarkable speed and slid in just as the ball approached Ronaldo’s feet. His timing was impeccable, his boots making clean contact with the ball and deflecting it away from Ronaldo’s path.

The interception drew a roar of approval from the Equestrian fans, their cheers echoing through the stadium.

The play began with Busquets, who intercepted a pass from Whisper Wings near the halfway line. He quickly passed the ball to Gerrard, who controlled it with a deft touch and looked up, scanning the field for options. Gerrard noticed Iniesta moving into space and sent a precise pass his way.

Iniesta received the ball and, with his usual finesse, evaded a challenge from Applejack with a swift turn. He then played a quick one-two with Gerrard, the ball zipping between them as they advanced up the field. The interplay was seamless, each pass perfectly weighted and timed, pulling Team Equestria’s defenders out of position.

As Iniesta approached the edge of the penalty area, he spotted Messi making a run through the middle. With a perfectly timed pass, Iniesta found Messi in stride. Messi's first touch was sublime, setting him up to take on the defenders.

The first to challenge Messi was Ottar, who lunged in with a tackle. Messi, with a quick flick of his left foot, sidestepped Ottar effortlessly. Next, he faced Iron Hoof, who attempted to use his strength to muscle Messi off the ball. Messi, however, deftly shifted his balance, slipping past Iron Hoof with a sharp change of direction.

Finally, Nightstalker stood between Messi and the goal. With a dazzling display of close control, Messi dribbled around Nightstalker, leaving the defender flat-footed. Now clear on goal, Messi approached Pinkie Pie, who was positioned perfectly to narrow the angle.

Ramos delivered a perfectly weighted pass to Cafu, who controlled the ball with ease and sprinted forward, leaving Ottar trailing behind.

Cafu drove towards the edge of Team Equestria’s penalty area before cutting inside, evading a sliding challenge from Nightstalker. As the defenders closed in, Cafu cleverly laid the ball off to Gerrard, who was positioned just outside the box. Gerrard, with his trademark vision, saw Neymar making a move into space on the left side of the penalty area.

With a precise pass, Gerrard found Neymar. The Brazilian forward, known for his flair and creativity, took a quick touch to set himself up. As Iron Hoof closed in, Neymar performed a deft step-over, shifting the ball onto his right foot and then back to his left, creating just enough space to shoot.

Neymar unleashed a curling effort, aiming for the top right corner of the goal. The ball arced beautifully through the air, its trajectory seemingly destined for the back of the net. Pinkie Pie, however, was alert and ready.

The Equestrian goalkeeper reacted instantly, pushing off her left foot and diving spectacularly to her right. Her eyes remained locked on the ball as she stretched out, her pink mane flowing behind her like a comet's tail. Just as the ball appeared poised to nestle into the top corner, Pinkie Pie's outstretched hand made contact, tipping the ball away with a firm and decisive touch.

The crowd erupted in astonishment and admiration, their cheers echoing through the stadium. The ball ricocheted off Pinkie Pie's hand and out for a corner, safely away from the goal.

The ball ricocheted out into the box, and pandemonium ensued. Van Dijk and Ramos scrambled to clear the danger, while Discord and Nightstalker pounced on the loose ball, trying to capitalise on the rebound. Van Dijk got a crucial touch, sending the ball out towards Cafu on the right flank.

Cafu quickly controlled the ball and looked up to see Messi making a run down the wing. With pinpoint accuracy, Cafu delivered a long, diagonal pass to Messi, who brought it down effortlessly. The Argentine maestro immediately found himself shadowed by Solar Blaze, who was determined to halt his progress.

Messi, using his trademark dribbling skills, danced around Solar Blaze, cutting inside and heading towards the center of the pitch. Whisper Wings, seeing the danger, moved to intercept Messi, but he deftly flicked the ball to Neymar on the left. Neymar, with a burst of pace, sprinted past Nightstalker and advanced towards the box.

As Neymar closed in on the goal, he squared the ball to Ronaldo, who was lurking just inside the penalty area. Iron Hoof, recognising the threat, lunged forward with a perfectly timed sliding tackle, dislodging the ball from Ronaldo's feet and sending it rolling out for a corner.

88' LAST-MINUTE SAVE!!! Team Earth employed a high press, aiming to disrupt Team Equestria's build-up play from the back.

Pinkie Pie, the Equestrian goalkeeper, calmly rolled the ball out to Iron Hoof, who found herself immediately pressured by Neymar and Ronaldo. Keeping her composure, Iron Hoof made a quick pass to Nightstalker, who had dropped deep to offer support. Nightstalker, with his stealth-like movement, cleverly evaded the pressing Messi with a quick turn, opening up space to advance the play.

Nightstalker spotted Ottar making himself available in midfield and threaded a precise pass through the pressing line. Ottar, under pressure from Busquets and Iniesta, skilfully shielded the ball and played it back to Applejack, who was orchestrating the play from her central defensive midfield position.

Applejack, recognising the need to bypass the relentless pressure, launched a long, accurate diagonal ball towards the right wing, where Rainbow Dash was poised to exploit any space. Cafu and Maldini quickly moved to intercept, but Rainbow Dash’s lightning pace saw her latch onto the pass, her eyes scanning for options.

Rainbow Dash advanced rapidly, forcing Van Dijk and Ramos to retreat. She drew both defenders towards her before delivering a low cross into the box. Discord, lurking with intent, anticipated the delivery and timed his run perfectly. He managed to get a touch, but his close-range shot was brilliantly blocked by Van Dijk, who threw himself in the way to deny the goal.

The ball ricocheted out to the edge of the box, where Twilight Sparkle was waiting. She controlled it deftly and unleashed a powerful shot. The ball rocketed through the crowded area, but Amelia, showcasing her incredible reflexes, reacted with a stunning save, diving to her right to tip the ball away with her fingertips.

The ball wasn’t cleared completely, however, and it fell to Rarity just outside the penalty area. Rarity, demonstrating her dribbling prowess, weaved past Busquets and Gerrard, creating enough space to take a shot. Her curling effort seemed destined for the top corner, but once again, Amelia was equal to the task. She stretched out an arm to parry the ball away, her outstretched fingertips diverting the ball out of danger.

The clearance fell to Iniesta, who quickly initiated a counter-attack. He found Messi in space, and Messi’s quick feet saw him dribble past Whisper Wings before laying off the ball to Ronaldo. Ronaldo, seeing Pinkie Pie slightly off her line, attempted a chip, but Pinkie Pie, showcasing her own agility, backpedaled swiftly and tipped the ball over the bar with a spectacular save.

The game was a showcase of relentless action, with both teams pushing to break the deadlock. Amelia's crucial saves kept Team Earth in contention as the clock ticked down, her performance between the posts a testament to her skill and determination.

89' CHANCE!!! Team Earth was mounting a relentless attack, pressing forward with the determination to find a winning goal, while Team Equestria dug deep to defend with all their might.

The build-up began with Busquets intercepting a loose pass from Twilight Sparkle in midfield. He quickly offloaded the ball to Gerrard, who orchestrated the attack with a precise pass out to Neymar on the left wing. Neymar, dancing along the touchline, used his quick feet to evade Nightstalker before cutting inside. Spotting Messi in space, Neymar delivered a perfectly weighted pass.

Messi received the ball just outside the box, and the crowd's anticipation grew. He deftly sidestepped Ottar with a flick and surged forward, dribbling past Iron Hoof with a drop of his shoulder. With the goal in his sights, Messi unleashed a powerful shot aimed at the top corner.

Pinkie Pie, alert and agile, read the play beautifully. As Messi's shot curved towards the top corner, she leapt into the air, her pink mane trailing behind her like a comet. With an extraordinary stretch, she managed to tip the ball over the bar with the very tips of her fingers, preventing a certain goal and maintaining the deadlock.

The crowd erupted in applause for the brilliant save, their cheers echoing through the stadium. Messi, hands on his hips, could only shake his head in admiration of Pinkie Pie's athleticism.

The resulting corner was taken by Iniesta, who floated a dangerous ball into the box. Van Dijk, rising highest, met the cross with a powerful header, but Applejack was there to clear it off the line with a brave header of her own.

The ball fell to Gerrard outside the box, and he didn't hesitate to unleash one of his trademark thunderbolts. The shot, powerful and precise, seemed destined for the bottom corner, but Solar Blaze was perfectly positioned. She threw herself in front of the ball, her block sending it back into the midfield scrum.

As the match wore on, both teams fought valiantly, every player contributing to the ebb and flow of the game. The intensity of the contest was matched only by the skill and determination on display, each side seeking to tip the balance in their favor. The fans, on the edge of their seats, witnessed a masterclass in football and hoofball, each moment building towards what promised to be a thrilling conclusion.

90+1' COUNTERATTACK!!! Both teams were pushing for the decisive goal, and the energy on the pitch was electric.

The play began with Team Earth on the attack. Messi, showing his usual brilliance, weaved through the midfield, evading Applejack's tenacious challenge. He passed to Iniesta, who skilfully manoeuvred around Whisper Wings, creating space to advance. Iniesta found Neymar with a precise pass on the left wing, setting the Brazilian star up to take on Nightstalker.

Neymar executed a dazzling display of footwork, dribbling past Nightstalker and cutting inside. As Neymar lined up his shot, Iron Hoof charged in with a perfectly timed sliding tackle, dispossessing him and sending the ball skidding towards Applejack.

Seizing the opportunity, Applejack quickly launched a long pass to Twilight Sparkle, who had positioned herself centrally. Twilight, with a quick glance upfield, spotted Rainbow Dash beginning her trademark sprint down the right wing. With a pinpoint through-ball, she released Rainbow Dash into open space.

Rainbow Dash's speed was breathtaking as she surged past Cafu and Maldini, leaving them in her wake. The crowd held its breath as she approached the penalty area, defenders scrambling to catch up. With a swift and accurate cross, she delivered the ball into the box, aiming for Discord.

Discord, timing his run perfectly, met the cross with a powerful shot, aiming low and hard towards the corner of the net. But just as the ball seemed destined to score, Van Dijk, showcasing his defensive prowess, launched himself in front of the shot. His block was heroic, the ball ricocheting off his shin and flying out of the penalty area.

The crowd erupted in applause, the breathtaking sequence of play leaving everyone on the edge of their seats. Both teams reset, the intensity only increasing as the match progressed, each side determined to find the breakthrough and secure victory.

90+2' FINAL CHANCE!!! The Santiago Bernabéu was a cauldron of anticipation as the clock ticked towards full time. The score was level at 4-4, and every pass, every touch, every moment was laden with tension. Both teams were giving their all, the drama of the match reaching its peak.

Team Earth pushed forward with renewed vigour, determined to seize the decisive moment. Gerrard, ever the midfield general, picked up the ball and surged ahead, evading Ottar's challenge with a deft touch. He found Iniesta, who, with a quick turn, eluded Whisper Wings. Iniesta then threaded a perfect pass to Neymar on the left wing.

Neymar, his eyes scanning the field, danced past Nightstalker with a series of dazzling step-overs, cutting inside towards the penalty area. As defenders converged, he flicked the ball to Messi, who was ghosting into space on the edge of the box. Messi, with his characteristic finesse, took one touch to control and another to evade Solar Blaze's sliding tackle.

Seeing an opportunity, Messi lofted a precise cross towards the far post where Ronaldo was waiting. Ronaldo, leaping into the air with the grace of an athlete in his prime, seemed to hang in the air for a moment as the ball arced towards him. The stadium held its breath as Ronaldo powered a header towards the top corner of the net.

But Pinkie Pie, displaying incredible reflexes and agility, launched herself across the goalmouth. Her timing was perfect, and with a spectacular dive, she managed to get her hand to the ball, deflecting it just enough to send it over the crossbar. The crowd erupted in a mixture of gasps and applause, the sheer brilliance of the save leaving everyone in awe.

As the ball sailed out of play, the final whistle blew, signalling the end of a thrilling, hard-fought contest. The players from both teams stood frozen for a moment, the adrenaline still coursing through their veins. Then, as the reality of the draw settled in, they exchanged handshakes and pats on the back, acknowledging the immense effort and skill displayed on the pitch.

Amelia, standing at her goal, watched as the fans cheered and applauded, their appreciation for the incredible spectacle evident. She glanced over at Pinkie Pie, who was grinning widely despite the exhaustion evident on her face. Amelia couldn't help but smile back, recognising a kindred spirit in the pony goalkeeper.

The match might have ended in a draw, but the unforgettable moments, the dramatic build-up, and the breathtaking saves ensured it would be remembered as one of the most epic showdowns in the history of both worlds.

Full-Time:

The match ended in a thrilling 4-4 draw, with both teams showcasing their unique talents and providing a spectacle for the ages. The Santiago Bernabéu stadium buzzed with excitement, the stands filled with the passionate cheers of Newcastle fans who had been transported into this magical showdown. Each moment of the game was intense and unpredictable, with both sides displaying their prowess in football and hoofball.

Pierluigi Collina's authoritative officiating, supported by the meticulous checks of VAR, ensured a fair and memorable contest. Every decision was scrutinised, every goal celebrated or groaned over with equal intensity, and the integrity of the game was maintained throughout.

Man of the Match: Rainbow Dash (Team Equestria) for her two crucial goals and relentless pace. Her speed and determination were unmatched, making her a standout performer in a match filled with legends. She darted across the pitch with the grace and swiftness of a true champion, her every move a testament to her dedication and athleticism.

“So… what do you think, Discord? Finally understand?” Amelia panted, wiping sweat from her brow as she stood in the middle of the pitch. The iconic Santiago Bernabéu stadium, now emptying of its roaring fans, seemed to shimmer in the twilight. Discord, visibly exhausted, leaned forward with his hands on his knees, catching his breath.

“I—I’m starting to understand why you humans are so fond of this game.” Discord admitted between heavy breaths. “That match… was more intense than any battle. Hoofball—or football, rather—is way more chaotic than I ever imagined. It’s exhilarating.”

Amelia grinned, giving Discord a hearty pat on the back. “Finally, you get it. Football isn’t just a game; it’s a whole experience. Now you should have the answers to your questions from long ago.”

Discord chuckled, straightening up. “Not all the answers yet, but if I keep playing, I’m sure I’ll find them eventually.”

“Yeah, I’m sure you will.” Amelia replied, her gaze drifting to the stands where the last of the fans were leaving, their cheers and chants fading into the night. The air was thick with the remnants of excitement and camaraderie that had filled the stadium moments before.

The two stood in silence for a moment, soaking in the atmosphere of a match that had bridged worlds and brought new understanding.

There’s a reason for the colours of shirts and the names of the clubs, it's not random.

It's another term ponies call it, please bear with me here😭. Also, COUNTER ARGUMENT! It's like Americans calling the NFL Football. At what point do the players kick the ball in the NFL? So the same logic applies!… I think… I don't know, just go with it!

As a writer, I've realized that character creation isn't exactly my strong suit and time consuming as I want to get the character just right. That got me thinking—why not involve my readers in the process? If you've got a character you've created or want to whip one up on the fly, I'd love to hear about it. Whether it's through comments or a private message, send your ideas my way, and let’s see how we can fit your OC into the world of "All Day, Everyday."

I've already used a few characters suggested by readers, and you'll get to meet them in the upcoming chapters. Your involvement could really spice up the story and bring some fresh perspectives.

Thanks for tuning in and being a part of this journey. I can’t wait to see what characters you come up with. Have a great one and happy creating!
