Once Shining Armor has teleported Al and Cancer out of the arena, Princess Celestia stood to address the crowd. "What another great display of skill and technique. Although, how Al decided to end the battle even surprised me. Let's cheer for them once more!" Princess Celestia said. The crowd cheered and shouted Al and Cancer's names. Princess Celestia raised her hoof to get the crowd to quiet down. "Give us a few minutes to reset the arena and get ready for our next match. For now, let me introduce the recruits in the next match. First, we have a Unicorn pony that showed us in his last match how diverse his illusions are. Now we will be able to see how he is with a blade while not invisible. Give a hoof for Colorful Sparks!"

Colorful Sparks stood up and waved a hoof to the crowd as they cheer. Down below, there were several Unicorn Guards in the arena. They were cleaning up the destruction and even moving several buildings around.

"This next Unicorn pony displayed how he is with stealth at night. He also showed a wide range of abilities he as. How will he fare with not being able to use them? Give a hoof for Swift Blaze!"

Swift Blaze stood up next to Colorful Sparks and joined in waving to the crowd.

"You ready to have your flank handed to you on a silver platter?" Colorful Sparks said.

"Don't get too cocky just yet." Swift Blaze said.

"You won't be able to your powers to help you for this match. I saw how you handled that sword. I got this match in the bag."

"If I was in my human body, my sword skills are even better. I have only had a few weeks of practice wielding weapons in this body."

"I will believe it when I see it. Looks like they are ready down there. Time for your flank to get kicked."

Princess Celestia activated her horn and teleported them to different parts of the arena. Swift Blaze was the first to move around where he arrived in. After getting a sense of his location, he began to search for gear to help him. He looked into each window as he walked, looking for anything different.

Colorful Sparks was doing a similar thing in his area. Through his searching, he came across a building with a chest. He entered and opened it. "Sweet! I found weapons first!" He shouted. Inside were a pair of folding hoof blades. They were similar to the ones he trained with back at the training grounds. He quickly slipped them on and left. He still continued looking through the others, just in case he finds something else that can help him.

Blaze kept on finding empty houses after empty house. He was getting frustrated as he heard the shout from Colorful Sparks. He needs to find something soon if he wants to stand a chance. Without warning, Colorful Sparks walked out of a path 20 feet ahead of him. Blaze quickly hid behind a crate before he looked down his direction. Blaze thought this could not get any worse.

Murphy's law was in effect as Blaze's body suddenly jolted from pain all over. He screamed out of reaction from it. Blaze quickly realized he was changing back into a human. Of all times to happen, it had to happen during a match. Blaze quickly bolted away from Colorful Sparks as he heard him scream and was heading towards him. It was now a chase through the paths between the buildings.

Blaze knocked how crates and other items to block the path. Colorful Sparks was able to either jump over or plow through them. Blaze could not run at full speed as his body was in pain and it was increasing. In a desperate ploy, he jumped through a window and quickly started to run through the walls. This caused the flimsy buildings unstable and began to fall down. Colorful Sparks backed off so he would not get caught in the rubble. He stuck to the path and followed the falling buildings.

As Blaze was doing this, he sent a message from his mind to Princess Celestia. Princess Celestia, sorry for the destruction I am causing, but I am changing back to my human form. Ugh, I am saying sorry right now for any cursing I am going to say.

Blaze, are you . . . Princess Celestia started to send back when a loud shout came from the arena.

"AHHHHHHHH! MOTHERFUCKING TROUT-FACED SPERM BOGLE BASHER SPELL! YOU JUST HAD TO END NOW! WELL FUCK YOU AND FUCK EVERYTHING RELATED TO YOU! AHHHHHHH JESIS CRIST TROLLING BITCH! . . ." The cursing continued as everypony in the area could hear it.

Princess Luna appears next to her sister. "Tia, what in Equestria is going on? That shouting woke me up." She said.

"Blaze is changing back to his human form right now. Last time it was painful and was in a sound proof room when it happened. As you can see, it just started." Princess Celesita said while trying to talk over Blaze's voice."

They both suddenly got another message in their minds, QUICKLY! PUT UP A 6 LAYER BARRIER AROUND ME OF YOUR STRONGEST ONE! DON'T ASK WHY, JUST DO IT! Blaze said.

Without waiting, both Princesses activated their magic and placed the 6 barriers around the house Blaze was in. It stopped all the shouting. Just a minute later, the house exploded in an instant. Whatever Blaze did destroyed 4 of the barriers and cracked the 5th one severely. Inside was a big cloud of smoke that was not dissipating.

Blaze, you alright in there? Princess Celestia said from her mind.

*Cough* Yea. My ki was building up from all the pain I was in and had to release it. Um, can I get some clothes please? Blaze replied.

There is a set in the chest next to you. Princess Luna said from her mind.

Blaze quickly felt around for the chest and found it. Princess Celestia took down the barriers that were remaining to allow the debris smoke to spread out and dissipate. Blaze had to change our of his torn clothes quickly and into the set that was in the chest. He did not want anypony to see him in torn clothes after causing so much destruction.

Colorful Sparks was circling the house that was inside a barrier a few minutes ago. He knew Blaze was there from all that shouting. He wondered if he was ok because he has never heard such foul language. He tried to look through the smoke for any signs of movement. He then heard a voice come from the smoke.

"I know you are out there Colorful Sparks. I will meet you in the center of the arena in five minutes so we can finish this match properly." Blaze said from within the smoke.

"You ok in there?" Colorful Sparks asked.

"I am much better now. I shall explain everything shortly. See you there."

"I will hold you to it. It is five till noon anyway."

"Perfect."

Colorful Sparks left the smoke debris and headed to the center. Blaze left the area under the cover of the smoke to an undamaged house nearby. He wanted to make sure the clothing looked good before the actual fight. Once inside, he could look himself over. He was wearing something similar to what Al had, except his outfit was black. Blaze also saw that he did put it on correctly. That made him feel much better. He then felt something brush the back of his legs. Looking behind him, he saw something that was not there before. He had a tail, a black pony tail. He quickly felt around his head for anything else that might not suppose to be there. Swift Blaze breathed a sigh of relief as he still has a human head with no pony like features. He only noticed also now that his hair was also black. He wrapped his tail around his waist to hide it for now.

With Blaze's appearance take care of, he looked around the house. He saw he came to one that had another chest. Blaze opened and revealed he found a weapon stash. Better yet, it was his sword. Guess the universe was actually sorry for the pain he was put through changing back. All he knows now is he doesn't want to be a pony for quite a while. He grabbed his weapon and headed to the center.

Colorful Sparks waited at the base of the statue in the center. He wanted to get this match over with after all. He heard a clock in Canterlot striking 12'o'clock. "Alright Blaze. It is noon. Where are you?" He shouted.

"I am right here." Blaze said from behind a building. "The spell on me decided to end."

"Wait. You are back to a human now?"

Blaze stepped out from behind the building so Colorful Sparks could see him. "I'M BAAACCKK!"

"Well this match just got interesting. Now I can see how skillful you are with a blade."

"Enough talking! Let's finish this match."

Colorful Sparks folded out his blades and stood on his hind hoofs. Blaze kept his sword in his sheath, but had one hand on it and the other hand on the sword itself. Being back in human form got him all excited. He can now use the skills the moved he learned from Earth. Both of them were standing still in their battle stance, waiting for the other to strike. The tension was very high in the air.

Colorful Sparks moved first and charged towards Swift Blaze. He did a double slash at him. Blaze reacted with lightning speed and drew his sword to block. The speed blocked the hit and also cause Colorful Sparks to slide back a bit.

"What the buck was that? You just drew your sword and it pushed me back!"

"The speed I can draw my sword sometimes will create a shockwave and knock the opponent either down or back. Care to continue?"

"You know it!" Colorful Sparks charged again. This time swinging one blade after another. Blaze was able to block each one with no issue. They continued to fight around the center, swinging their blades at each other. Neither of them was able to land a blow. Soon they pushed either away and stood 10 feet away from each other. Both were breathing a little harder to catch their breath.

"That was a nice warm up. Care to pick it up?"

"I was hoping you were holding back. So was I. Let's really test each other skill."

[youtube= watch?v=t5iyuOjrSG8]

They both charged at each other, this time at a faster speed. Their movements were starting to become blurry to that of a normal eye. You can hear the clanging of their blades in rapid style, like rain hitting a sheet of metal. This went on for several minutes as neither of them was letting up.

All of a sudden, Colorful Sparks was able to get the blades in the right position and sent Swift Blaze's sword flying into the air. Before the blade fall back down, Colorful Sparks quickly went to continue is onslaught with a double downward slash onto Blaze's shoulders. Blaze raised both of his arms to block the hits.

*CLANK*

Blaze looked at his arms. They were now covered in black armor. His body was the same way. An identical suit of armor to what Al wore. As Colorful Sparks was recovering from hitting the metal, Blaze grabbed his falling sword. In a quick motion, he swung it with full force into Colorful Sparks's blades. They shattered upon contact. Blaze continued with a round kick to his gut, sending Colorful Sparks flying into the statue. The impact knocked the statue over backwards. Blaze walked up to Colorful Sparks as he had his back against the base of the statue, holding his gut.

"*Couch* Ok, you win. You are better with a blade than me." Colorful Sparks said.

"Only in my human form. If I had to fight with my pony body, I think you might have beaten me." Blaze said.

"How do you think I would have done against Al?"

"Hard to say. You are good with short swords. He is good with daggers and throwing blades. I would say whoever was more determined, would probably win."

"Well, good luck going against him. Who knows what kind of battle Princess Celestia will plan for you two. Now how about you come and take care of my injuries. I think you might have broken some of my ribs with that kick of yours."

Blaze smiles and kneels down next to Colorful Sparks. He placed his hands above him and began to channel his chakra to begin the healing process.

"Say, how come that part of clothing did not change to armor also?" Colorful Sparks said as he pointed with a hoof to where Blaze had his tail wrapped around him.

"No clue. I did not choose the style of armor. Now hold still, you do have some broken ribs. I don't want you to make it worse by having them puncture a lung."

Colorful Sparks remained still as Blaze worked on healing him. He continued to look at Blaze's waist, trying to figure it out. Blaze knew he would have to explain it soon as he can't hide this forever. He heard somepony teleport behind him. He turned his head and saw the rest of the recruits were there with Captain Shining Armor and the Princesses.

-Blaze POV-

Oh great. Guess now is a good time as any to explain my new look. I finished healing and stood up to greet everypony. The armor finally reverted back to normal clothing so my tail was blended back in again. "Hello Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and everypony else. I got my human body back." I said.

"Nice to see another human here now. I no longer feel like an alien by myself on this world." Al said.

"Dude, we are aliens here."

"I know, but not like the ones from the movies back home. I would never do some of the things those directors thought of if an alien showed up there."

"I am glad you have your body back Swift Blaze. Though the language was not necessary." Princess Celestia said.

"Again, I am sorry your highness. Having my bones stretched, shrunk, grown, and my skin on fire is one thing I never want to experience again. If I am severely injured again, please don't have Twilight Sparkle change me to a pony again." I said. I bowed to her as a reaction. I soon felt my tail unwrap itself from around my waist.

"Blaze, did something else get changed to your body when you changed back? I noticed your mane is black like your pony form, but I thought I saw something behind you I did not see before." Princess Luna asked.

"I think I know what you are talking about and no, I did not have it before." I turned sideways so everypony could see. " I have a tail."

Everypony gasp at my new addition, except for one. Al was laughing and fell onto his back as he continued to. "YOU HAVE A TAIL! OH MAN THAT IS RICH!" He said between laughters.

"I think I prefer a pony tail instead of a monkey one."

"Monkey tail?" Star Dust asked.

"The human DNA is very similar to that of an ape. Also it is an inside joke of a show we watched back on Earth."

"Do you think this might have to do with what happened in the EverFree Forest?" Dragon asked.

"More than likely. I am just glad I did not get a horn on top of my head."

"That is because you've already had a horn. Between your legs!" Al said while he continued to laugh.

I did a jutsu and had the ground underneath him launch him up into the air. He screamed as he flew up and began to fall. I did an air style jutsu and caught him before he hit the ground. I could tell he did not like that. I just smiled as he picked himself and stomped towards me.

"You want our match to start now? I am ready to go!" Al said in my face.

Before I could say anything back, both of us were pulled away from each other by a magical force. I looked and saw Princess Celestia has her horn glowing. She held us in her hold as she spoke, "Your match is going to be tomorrow so both of you can recover and get ready for it. You will find out the style at the start of the match."

"Yes Princess Celestia." We both said at the same time.

She released us and we landed on our feet. Before the Princesses left, I asked, "Um, would it be alright if we dined with you tonight? A certain food source will make sure we will be at our top performance for tomorrow."

They looked at each other for a few minutes. Princess Luna then said, "I think we can allow that. We certainly want the recruits to be at their best for everypony to see tomorrow."

Shining Armor took the rest of the recruits back to the training grounds. Al and I followed the Princessed out of the arena. Al whispered into my ear, "What food source did you get us to have?"

"What is one thing that ponies will never eat?" I replied.

Al thought for a few seconds before shouting, "MEAT!"
