“Yes, unless you could think of something we forgot.”

“Hmmm, how about:”

Soarin vs. Starlight Glimmer

Big McIntosh vs.Bulk Biceps

Octavia vs. Maud Pie

“I'll allow it. So let the fights begin. Hahahahahah(FART). Sorry I get gassy when I get giddy.”

“A toast, may the best pony win.”

“Yes and may that nag Starlight Glimmer die a horrible death.”

The clinking of goblets and the drinking of libations was the completion of a deal between Sombra and Chrysalis. The plan abduct everyone on their fight list and have them fight to the death.

--------------------------

Gilda finally woke to see herself in a cage. Looking around she could see that she wasn't alone. She could see 19 other cages with ponies inside. She looked until she saw her best friend Rainbow Dash.

“Dash,”Gilda yelled,“Dash wake up!”

With a slight moan and a stretch Rainbow Dash stood up shakily.

“Oh, my head,” she said trying to knock the cobwebs out of her head,“Where am I?”

“I don't know but it looks like you and all your friends are here as well,” Gilda said.

As Rainbow started to check her cage for a possible way to escape the others started to awake. Luna was the first to speak.

“What is this? Why are we caged like some animal?” Said the princess of the night.

“I don't know,” Twilight stated, “i can't used my magic.”

“Neither can I,” said Rarity

“Same here,” said Sunset

“So its a fair assessment that our magic doesn't work in these cages,” Celestia stated.

Apple Jack tried to buck the cage open with no results. Big McIntosh and Bulk Biceps tried to punch it open, but nothing happened.

“Looks like we're stuck in here,” said Apple Jack

“Eeyup,” Big McIntosh replied.

As they all sat there a slight sniffle could be heard from a yellow pegasus. Everyone knew it was Fluttershy. Yet, another set of sniffling started from the other side of the room. It was Cadence.

“Who would do this to us?” Said Cadence wiping tears from her eyes.

Shining Armor said,“I don't know but I have a good idea who.”

“Well now let's see,” Pinkie said rubbing her chin,“ It can't be The Storm King. All the yeti's couldn't put him back together. It can't be Fizzle Pop. She went back to her home village to challenge that Ursa for her horn. It can't be Discord. He's in the Delta quadrant with Captain Janeway helping to settle a civil war inside the Continuum. “

“What!” Everyone exclaimed.

“Oh, never mind,” Pinkie continued,“ So the big meany in charge of this attempt of Equestrian conquest has to be Queen Chrysalis.”

“Amazing Pinkie,” Twilight said in a sarcastic tone,“ prey tell how did you come to this conclusion?”

“I can answer that,”Maud said in her usual dead tone,“The bars of this cage are made from the same ancient dark stone Chrysalis used to make her throne. You know the one that blocks everything except changeling magic.”

“Of coarse, why didn't I think of that,” said Starlight face hoofing.

“Great, is there anything else?” Trixie chimed in.

“Oh, yeah,” Pinkie said,“Chrysalis is looking at us through that window.”

Just as Pinkie pointed at the window there was Queen Chrysalis with a maniacal grin on her face.

“Well, well I see all my game pieces are awake and eager to play,” said the queen trotting around the cages.

“What do you mean by game pieces?” Celestia asked.

“Simple you see. An associate and myself are….”

“You mean King Sombra right?” Pinkie interrupted.

“HOW DID YOU KNOW!!” shouted the queen.

“Actually I didn't,” Pinkie replied,“You just confirmed it, he he(squee).”

Chrysalis gave her a dead pan look,“very clever my little pink one. As I was saying King Sombra and I have captured all of you to play a game. Now I know what you're asking what kind of game. A survival of the fittest, a test of strength, blood sport, or to plainly put it. TWO SHALL ENTER ONLY ONE WILL LEAVE. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA(FART).”

“There is no way I'm going to fight for you. You green haired gasbag,” said Octavia in her strongest Trottingham accent.

“Yeah, you can forget it Queenie. I'm not participating,”said Soarin.

“You must be insane if you think I will play your game,” said Zecora.

Chrysalis just laughed again.“You think you have a choice. I guess you didn't notice the rune necklace around your neck. No, that's because you can't see it or feel it until it is activated. Once activated you will do as you are programmed to do. Even kill if programmed. However before you are programmed we need to get you prepared.”

“What do you mean prepared?” asked Rainbow Dash.

“A costume change of coarse. You will dress as warriors of old. You know swords, shields, and spears or whatever your fighting style requires. Of coarse the biggest change will be to your bodies.”

“What do you mean our bodies?” Asked Rarity.

Sombra entered the room and answered,“with this.”

Sombra came in with a device that look like a film projector. It had handles on both sides and a knob on top which said,‘Anthropomorphic level’ with numbers 1 to 5.

“You see,” Sombra said,“ with this device I will be able to make certain modifications to your bodies to enhance the level of skill in the game. Behold."

Sombra turned the machine on and aimed it at Big Mac's cage. Turning the anthropomorphic level to 3. It started with a low hum then fired a beam of light at Mac. There was a low moan coming from Mac then he yelled as his body started to morph into something odd. His front hooves started to split into appendages that he could bend and another appendage sprouted as well. With a loud snap his shoulder joint started to spread sideways from his body and his barrel was showing more muscle definition. Mac's hip joints also let out a large pop as it forced him to sit up more erect showing off his third leg which he quickly covered with his new hands. Finally the muscles in his neck bulged out making the yoke he was wearing snap in too. Mac sat there holding himself breathing heavily trying to rub the pain out of his neck.

“What the hay did you do t’ m’ah brother,”yelled Applejack staring daggers at Sombra.

Sombra turned the device at the farm mare,“the same thing I'm about to do to you.”

The beamed fired again causing Apple Jack to go thru the same transmogrification her brother went thru with a slight difference. She felt a slight tingle emanating from her nether regions. Then she looked down.

“Aaaaah, what da hay happened t’ m’ah lady bits. M’ah milk sacs are gone,”she yelled.

Sombra laughed,“just wait for it.”

A second later Applejack could feel a pressure growing in her chest. First came two nipples growing out of her fur. Then her chest started to swell. She did what she could to cover herself up. However the farm mare was amazed at the transformation.

-------------------

One by one each of the captured ponies and griffon were turned into a hind leg standing hybrid. Then Chrysalis activated the collars and everyone of the captured stood in there cage not worried about their modesty or shame and marched to another room to be prepared.

“My, my, my,” said Chrysalis licking her lips,“it's a shame we're about to kill them. I could really get to know Shining Armor better. Mmmmmmm.” Sombra said nothing mostly because when Rarity and Fluttershy walked by he was totally mesmerized by there beauty. Chrysalis knocked Sombra out of his trance and asked,“A question, why have we not tried the beam on ourselves? It's not fun if they are the only one to go thru the change.”

“You're right,” said Sombra,“besides it might be fun to participate.”

After the transformation Sombra and Chrysalis looked at each other admiring the view. They both had naughty thoughts in there mind. Sombra tried to make the first move but Chrysalis held up a finger.

“Oh, no. Sport first then pleasure later,”she said with a wink.

The Honey Dome

Preparation was the next part. The combatants, still under the control of Chrysalis were sent to a room where about a dozen or so changelings were waiting. Once in the room the changelings went through the process of dressing each one in the attire that best suit them. Once done there the combatants were moved to the armory. The room was filled with all types of weapons even a book. One changeling found it unusual to see a book as one of the weapons.

“Well you know unicorns use magic,” said the changeling,”so I guess it could be a weapon.”

“Oh yeah, read to it till it dies of boredom,” chuckled the other changeling

The other changeling shrugged and continued with his job. Now all combatant have been clothed and given their weapons the next task was to transport all of them to the coliseum.

Each pony and griffon was paired up and escorted out of the prep area and moved to the main arena. The arena also known as “The Honey Dome” was where the mind controlled warriors would spend their last moments of life. The dome was built like a roman coliseum. The floor was nothing but a dirt track. The walls stood at least ten feet high with one door leading in right under the throne that Chrysalis shared with King Sombra.

“I don't know why I didn't think of doing this a long time ago,” said Chrysalis enjoying her wine.

“Yes,” said Sombra, “no need to sully your hooves. Let your enemies destroy themselves.”

The buzz of 50,000 drones inside the dome sounded like an orchestra of kazoos being played in unison. A fanfare of trumpets played as the arena started to roar. Two drones sitting in a booth adjacent to the king and queen stood up and started their announcements.

“King Sombra, Queen Chrysalis, and everyone else in attendance welcome to The Honey Dome. Today we will see the champions of Equestria battle each other to the death. He's Tick and I'm Bugspray and we will be your masters of ceremony for the duration of this glorious and goreious event. So let the battles commence.”

Every changeling in the arena started to roar, whistle, and cheer. Even the king and queen did a golf clap.

A slight rumble came from the coliseum floor and started to spread apart. From the bottom sprouted a boxing ring. Bug Spray started to speak.

“Our first match is a battle of fistihooves. Our first combatant, wearing all white cargo trunks, a simple farmer who kicks harder than a mule. The ‘Golden Apple Stallion’, Big McIntosh.”

Mac walked into the area like a robot. Showing no feelings whatsoever. He wore nothing but white trunks and a pair of gauntlets on his fore hooves. The gauntlets were leather which went down an inch above his elbow. Their were metal spikes on the knuckles and his cutie mark on the back hand. Once in the ring Chrysalis activated the collar again. Instantly Mac's eyes widen and begin a pre fight warm up ready to begin.

Bug Spray began his announcement.

“His opponent, wearing all red trunks, the muscle bound menace, the poster pony of ‘roid rage. ‘Big’ Bulk Biceps.”

The dome explodes in roars again. As Bulk trots out to the ring changelings are conversing back and forth placing bets on who will come out the victor.

“I got 20 bits on the red one,” one drone said.

“I'll take that bet,” came from the changeling sitting next to him, “the white one is gonna pound that red one into apple sauce.”

More conversations, more arguments, and more bets were made as Bulk entered the ring. His collar was activated. Punching his gauntlets together he started to pose showing off his muscles as he stared daggers at his opponent.

Chrysalis stood and silenced the crowd.

“The rules are simple. Two shall enter, only one shall leave. Let the battle commence.”

The crowd erupted as the two stallions prepared to fight.

Smash Brother and Sister

The changelings in the dome started to chant ‘fight’ as Big Mac started to speak.

“Consider yerself lucky, ya have a chance ta feel the strength that's been passed down the Apple line fer generations.”

Bulk let out a chuckle and said,“Puny pony. BULK SMASH!”

“OK, LETS BAAAAAATTTTTTLLLLLEE,” Bug Spray yelled as he rang the bell.

___________

Both fighters move to the center of the ring with Bulk throwing a haymaker that Mac dodged under striking Bulk in the ribs. Bulk comes back with two lefts and a right the Mac struggles to defend against. Mac now on the offensive jabs twice and a straight right that he leaves out to long. Seeing the opening Bulk hits Mac with a one two combo the staggers Mac. Seeing this Bulk charges with a straight right knocking Mac back into the far corner. Bulk seizes the opportunity. Having his opponent in the corner Bulk keeps up his combo going high and into the body. Mac, sensing another staggering punch coming dodged out of the corner and hits Bulk in the corner with an overhand right. Wasting no time Mac started his assault on bulk in the corner. Coming out of the Bulk threw a right, missed, and a left hook also missing. Mac took this opportunity to hit Bulk with a jumping right cross knocking him to the mat. The noise in the dome was deafening. Half the changelings were cheering the others booing. As Bulk got up he brushed himself off.

“Lucky punch,” said bulk, “you only get one.”

With guards up both fighters started again. Mac now fighting more conservative starts moving in and out avoiding Bulks swings. Mac can see Bulk starting to stagger. Mac comes in with a hard right that Bulk telegraphed a moved back. With Mac missing his punch Bulk moved in by grabbing Mac by the shoulders head butting him then stepping on his foot and hitting him with a solid right hook. Mac is down. Mac gets back up determined. Both fighters charge each other. At the last moment Mac rolls at Bulk. Grabbing Bulk, Mac slams him to the mat. Straddling Bulk, Mac was able to get in two punches before he was tossed off. Back on his feet Bulk hit Mac with a hard shoulder stunning Mac again. Bulk was able to hit Mac with a few good solid punches before Mac could counter. A barrage of punches and counters were exchanged by both until Mac got careless again. Seizing the moment Mac tried a jumping right cross. Bulk saw it coming and side stepped it. Bulk had a clear shot. A surge of power started to rise in Bulk. His eyes glowed. ‘SUPER BULK PUNCH’

Bulk winded up hitting Mac with a punch that sent him spinning face first to the canvas.

“What a punch. Mac is down and he is not moving,” yelled Tick.

“Bulk hit him with an awesome haymaker,” replied Bug Spray,“looks like Mac has bought the farm.”

Still down on the canvas Mac hadn't moved. Bulk was taking in all the cheers. Just then King Sombra stood and looked at Bulk. The king extended his right hand and gave a thumbs down to Bulk. With a smile on his face Bulk turn back to Mac who was now on his knees. Getting up Mac turned towards Bulk. His eyes were now glowing.

‘ULTIMATE MAC ATTACK’

With a sudden surge of speed Mac was pummeling Bulk. Mac's fists were moving so fast Bulk could do nothing to counter. Bulk tried to swing but Mac caught the punch and with a loud crack snapped his arm just below the elbow. Bulk was helpless. There was nothing he could do to counter the onslaught brought on by Mac. With Bulk totally defenseless Mac took a step back and step in with a wind up uppercut that removed Bulk's head from his shoulders. Bulk's body fell. His head landed about three feet away. Once done Mac left the ring and returned to the coliseum doors. The trap door for the ring opened again lowering the ring and Bulk's decapitated body with it.

“Wow after all that it was Mac that kept his head through the fight,” said Bug Spray.

Tick made the announcement, “your winner is BIG MCINTOSH.”

There was a lot of cheers and boos once the announcement was made. Even Chrysalis was surprised by the outcome.

“Well so much for the ‘GREAT WHITE HOPE’ hahahaha (fart). So what's the next fight,” asking rhetorically seeing how she had the fight schedule in hand.

Once Mac left the coliseum he was guided to a holding cell. When the cell closed the enchantment of the collar was released. He was met with a throbbing headache and the site of blood covering his hands.

“Oow, what in blue blazes is this? Where all this blood come from?” said Mac checking to see if the blood was his.

--------

Back inside the arena changelings were preparing for the next fight. Concessions were being bought, bets were being made as the next fight was announced.

“ARE YOU READY FOR OUR NEXT BATTLE?” Tick said as the buzz of the arena became deafening.

“Entering now, wearing green tunic with brown leggings, the cowgirl from Ponyville with a kick stronger than a mule, Apple Jack.” The crowd started to buzz again.

“And her opponent, wearing the silver armor with blue trim, the buzzkill of Canterlot, captain of the guard, Shining Armor.” Instantly the crowd started to boo and hiss.

“Well looks like we know who isn't the crowd favorite,” said Bug Spray.

“You weren't there the day of the invasion,” said Tick.

Shining Armor stood tall with his broad sword and shield. The shield had his cutie mark on the front. Apple Jack was at the other side armed with a long handled war hammer with two apples etched in the side. The queen activated the collars and both fighters came to life.

“There is no way I will be defeated by the likes of you,” said Shining clanging his sword against his shield.

“Lets see how arigant ya sound when ah put that sword down yer throat,” said Apple Jack gripping her hammer.

“LETS GET IT OOOOON.”

Running towards Shining Apple Jack started with a vicious swing that Shining was easily able to block. She attack again able to keep Shining at a good distance. After the third swing Shining was able to counter. Using his shield to swat away the hammer Shining thrusted at the cowgirl. However she was able to recover, block his thrust, and retaliate with another swing. Changing up her tactics Apple Jack went for an over head swing that Shining block again but when the hammer hit the ground the farmgirl used the momentum and vaulted forward drop kicking Shining’s shield making him stagger backwards. With him momentarily discombobulated Apple Jack went for the legs sweeping Shining off his feet. Seeing the hammer coming down Shining rolled back letting the hammer hit the ground with a loud thud. The second hit was blocked with his shield and Shining was able to sweep the feet of the cowgirl bringing her to the ground. Shining tried to attack Apple Jack while still on the ground but she was able to roll out the way and recover. Both combatants were panting from overexertion but neither were ready to yield. Shining went on the attack. Using a sword and shield combo he started to wear down the cowgirl. It took everything she had just to defend. Shining was able to knock Apple Jack’s hammer out of her grip. Feeling confident he went for an overhead slice that was blocked. Apple used one hand to hold his sword hand and the other to start punching Shining in the gut finishing with a kick to the chest which knocked him back about a good eight feet. Apple Jack ran back to get her hammer. Just then Shining using his magic grabbed the farm girl's hammer. Trying to pry it from her grip it became a game of tug of war that Apple Jack was winning. A few moments later and Shining gave up on the spell. Instead he charged towards Apple Jack putting his magic into his shield. With eyes and shield glowing Shining hit the cowgirl with ‘SHINING STAR’ and knocked her back about a good 20 feet. Shining feeling he had the advantage was ready to finish this. Running towards Apple Jack the captain jumped in the air ready to come down on his opponent. However Apple Jack was waiting and ready. As Shining came down Apple Jack eyes started to glow. ‘SUPER CIDER SWING’ Apple Jack's hammer made contact with the shield not only destroying the spell but severely damaging the shield. The captain, now in immense pain due to his left arm being bent with the shield. Now Apple Jack taking the advantage moved towards Shining ready to finish this fight. Even though Shining’s left arm was broken he still has his sword. He advanced toward Apple Jack sword raised ready to cut the cowgirl down. How ever she had other plans. Using her hammer Apple Jack knocked the sword away and kicked Shining in the gut bringing him down to his knees.

“It's all over sugar cube,” said Apple Jack as she raised the hammer up for the last blow.

With what magic Shining had left he grabbed for his sword. Apple Jack turned to see the sword wrapped in magic headed for her. Using her hammer she knocked the sword into the air. Suddenly Apple Jack felt a pain in her back. Without knowing Shining had pulled a dagger from his chest plate and stabbed Apple Jack in the back through the heart.

“Like I said there's no way I could lose to the likes of you,”said Shining as he drove the dagger deeper.

Apple Jack could feel her conscious failing. As she looked up Apple Jack could see the sword coming back down towards her. She reached up grabbing the sword and turned to Shining. Reaching Shining's neck Apple Jack took his sword and drove it down Shining’s open mouth. His eyes turned into pin pricks as the farmgirl hilted the sword down his pie hole.

“I'm not one for lying,”said Apple Jack,“I told ya were ah was puttin’ that sword.”

As the last syllable passed the farmgirl’s lips she fell slumped over Shining’s body.

“Looks like we have a draw,”said Tick

“Yep,”said Bug Spray,“how ‘bout them apples.

Chrysalis turned to Sombra,“so, enjoying yourself?”

“I will admit this is rather entertaining. Who is next?”replied Sombra.

As the bodies were dumped into the trap door in the center of the field the next two combatants were announced.

“Now for the next fight. This pony will have you cowering by the look in her stone cold eyes, Maud.”

Maud walk out with her usual dead pan visage. She wore a yellow track suit with a black stripe down the side. Her weapon was a pair of nunchucks.

“Her opponent, the Trottingham sweetheart whose accent is as tough as her fighting style, Octavia.”

Flicking her hair back. Octavia was wearing as skin tight black outfit with combat heels. It was low cut so she was giving the crowd a good look at her cleavage. Along with her violet bowtie she was a sight to be seen. Changelings in the crowd started to hoot and whistle. When she started to twirl her bow staff even Sombra took notice how her body moved with every spin.

“Reel it in my king let the mares fight,”said Chrysalis, not moving her gaze from the fight.

The king pouted as the match started. Octavia rushed towards Maud ready to put her staff to work. Just then Maud yelled,”Stop!” Puzzled by the moved Octavia stopped her advance.

Maud put her hand in her pocket and put something to her ear.

“You sure?”she said,”ok I'll tell her. Boulder said he wants to fight you.”

At hearing this Octavia started to laugh.

“You're joshing right?”Octavia said in her deep Trottingham accent,”ok I don't know what game you're playing at but I'll give it a go. Hehe, take your best shot Boulder.

Maud blinked once then tossed her pet rock in the air. Her eyes started to glow.

PET PROJECTILE

With speed and tremendous accuracy Maud jumped in the air hitting Boulder with a flying roundhouse kick. This hurtled Boulder straight towards Octavia. It hit her right between her eyes leaving a boulder hole in her face and leaving out the back of her head with half her brains and scull fragments behind her. Octavia fell to the ground face first. The match was over.

Everyone watching was dumbfounded by how quick and how lethal that kick was. Even Chrysalis and Sombra were stunned about how quick that match was.

“The winner of this bout, Maud!”

There was no cheer. Every changeling was still in shock. Bug spray couldn't hold it in.

“Wow, she stoned her. She rocked her world. Gave her the old David and Goliath treatment.”

“Gave her the what?”Tick replied.

“Oh, nothing.”

Maud walked over to the now dead Octavia. She looked around the body until she saw her pet. A few yards away was Boulder. Maud picked up her pet brushed off the brain matter and wiped off the blood.

“Good boy,”said Maud giving her pet a peck.

Maud placed her pet in her pocket and walked out of the arena.

After a few more minutes Changelings started to come out of their coma. Most were at the gambling table arguing with the cashier.

“No winner, no winners,”said the cashier,”No one betted on the rock so no winners.

-÷-÷-

After Octavia was removed the clamouring and betting of the hive continued. Sombra and Chrysalis were chatting about future plans as the announcers began.

“Alright, are we ready for the next battle?” said bug spray as the arena erupted with cheering and buzzing.

“Our next opponent, the perky pink party pony of Ponyville. Pinkie pie.”

The pink ponies came out wearing a beige top with a sky skirt and a pink sash around her waist. As she bounced to the middle of the arena Pinkie was playing a mandolin.

“Her opponent, the shy animal lover, Fluttershy.” Fluttershy stepped out to the arena. She was wearing a green dress with matching shin guards. The dress look like tree leaves wrapped around her.

“She doesn't have a weapon,” said Sombra.

“Yes,” replied Chrysalis, “looks like another quick match.”

Pinkie was still playing her mandolin while Fluttershy pulled out a ribbon and tied her hair back. Once her hair was in place Fluttershy took a deep breath and flexed her fingers. Instantly her nails grew five inches from her fingertips. With that done Fluttershy advanced on Pinkie with claws ready to strike. A sudden twitchy tail and Pinkie was able to dodge one slash and use the mandolin to block the other. It was taking every bit of Pinkie sense to keep Fluttershy at bay but the mandolin wasn't holding up so well. With the next attack Fluttershy tried to come down with an overhead strike that Pinkie was able to evade easily. Fluttershy attacked, Pinkie moved, and swung the mandolin at the back of Fluttershy’s head causing the instrument to shatter into pieces. With Fluttershy laying face down on the ground Pinkie let her guard down for a moment. This would be a mistake as Fluttershy got on all fours and leaped at Pinkie leaving two large slashes across her chest. Pinkie staggered back wincing from the pain and looking at her opponent. Fluttershy now look more feline than mare and the growl sent a cold chill down Pinkie’s spine. There wasn't much Pinkie could do. With every attack Fluttershy seem to be moving faster. Pinkie tried to defend but all she got were more scratches and cuts for her efforts. With one swift buck Fluttershy sent Pinkie with a loud thud. Pinkie was down and not moving. Fluttershy could sense it was time to finish this. She took to the air with eyes glowing.

FERAL BAT ATTACK

Fluttershy's eyes turned red. Her wings lost their feathers and became bat like. The tips of her ears became more pointy and large fangs sprouted from her mouth.

“Holy Bela Lugosi, she just went full vamp,” said bug spray.

With a loud hiss Fluttershy lunged at Pinkie who still wasn't moving. Just then Pinkie showed signs of movement. Reaching behind her back she pulled out her blunderbuss aimed and fired. The shot from the weapon shredded the vamp ponies’ left wing knocking her back.

Pinkie stood up with a manic yet stern look on her face. Her eyes never left sight of Fluttershy. Pinkie pushed a button on the stock of her blunderbuss. The spent cartridge popped out and Pinkie caught it in her hand. The heat from the cartridge burned her hand yet Pinkie showed no sign of pain. Putting the cartridge up to her nose Pinkie inhaled the smokie remains and started to smile. As Pinkie reloaded her weapon the pink mare’s tail started to lose its curl. Blood dripped all her cuts and scratches as Pinkie took an offensive stance ready for Fluttershy's next attack. Fluttershy didn't hesitate in starting another barrage of slash attacks. The blunderbuss was more sturdier than the mandolin and was able to withstand Fluttershy's attack. Pinkie started chuckling every time Fluttershy made a move. One attack Fluttershy over extended herself and when she recovered Pinkie fired again hitting the right arm and wing. With but wings shredded and one arm incapacitated Fluttershy was still trying to attack. Pinkie stepped back and felt a crunch. It was her mandolin. With Fluttershy attacking Pinkie grabbed one of the mandolin’s chords, sidestepped Fluttershy's attack and wrapped the cord around Fluttershy's neck. Fluttershy started flailing around as Pinkie held on choking the life out of her. With a hiss and gurgling sound Fluttershy's body went limp and Pinkie released the hold Fluttershy fell to the ground. With a sick smile on her face Pinkie stood over the body and walked away. Just as Pinkie moved Fluttershy leaped up ready to sink her fangs into fresh meat. Pinkie aimed the blunderbuss at Fluttershy's muzzle.

“Smile, hehe.”

BLAM

Fluttershy's head exploded like a ripe melon. The match was over.

“Here is your winner, Pinkie Pie.”

The crowd buzzed as Pinkie kneeled down to Fluttershy's headless body. Pinkie pulled out a knife, rolled the body on its side, and began to carve. A moment later Pinkie stood up and walked away caring something in her hand. It was Fluttershy's cutie mark.

“For the first time tonight I do believe I'm speechless,” said Bug spray.

“For once I'm in full agreeance with you,” Tick replied.
