Greetings. I am Vultarian01. And I would start this out by apologizing deeply for the lack of a new chapter within the last two weeks. I hope you understand that I would've gotten this chapter rewritten and posted earlier, but with all the college tests and assignments given to me I hardly even have enough time to use the bathroom.

...

Okay, I still do, but still I have a lot to study for. Hopefully I can get out chapters faster in the future, but you never know. But I'll always be thinking about you, my readers, when I have no time. All I can do is say sorry and hope that you forgive me. And i hope this chapter will be worth the wait. Danke.

Disclaimer: I do not own MLP or any of its respective characters. I also do not own Britt Nicole, Lecrae, or There for Tomorrow and any of their respective songs. Enjoy.

Chapter 36

An hour later…

Twilight sat on one of the long benches in the locker room, tying her boots after slipping them on. After making sure the laces were nice and tight, she stood up and fixed her skirt and top to make sure they were on correctly. She let out a long breath, rolled her shoulders, and closed her locker door. Twilight took her leave from the locker room and walked out and into the hallway, not surprised to find Rainbow Dash there. Rainbow Dash was already in her trunks and top, leaning against the wall with arms crossed. She looked ready to wrestle, but her usual hype was absent and seemed to be replaced with grim irritation. That was to be expected though. Twilight and Rainbow Dash were obviously not on the best of terms right now since the first match, and usually the more stressful stuff happen during the main event. And by the way this was going that could appear to be true in a few moments.

Rainbow Dash shifted her angry gaze to Twilight, expecting to see her looking at her in disappointment or lecture her on what she did wrong or something. Twilight didn't do that. In fact her posture seemed relaxed along with her face. She just kept staring at her with an unreadable expression.

Rainbow: "What?!" Rainbow Dash snapped.

Twilight's expression softened. "Rainbow Dash…I'm worried about you," said Twilight.

Rainbow Dash got off the wall and put a finger in Twilight's face. "YOU don't need to worry about ME! You just worry about how much it'll cost you to buy a new face after wipe it up and down the ring canvas!"

Twilight's eyes narrowed as she politely moved Rainbow Dash's finger from her face. "Rainbow Dash, this isn't like you. You would never verbally attack people like that, and you NEVER would think that your friends were plotting against you. Especially not Fluttershy."

Rainbow Dash crossed her arms and looked the other way. "Don't tell me what I would and wouldn't do! You're not me, Twilight. You and Fluttershy chose sides with an evil, soulless bully who tormented everyone over me. Those are just the facts."

Twilight put her hands on her chest, upset by the statement. "You're right, Rainbow Dash, I'm NOT you! But I AM your friend, and so is Fluttershy!"

Rainbow Dash turned her back fully to Twilight. "Well some friends you turned out to be!"

Twilight, unable to find a proper retort for that remark, crossed her arms and tapped her fingers along her arms. Twilight then looked at the ground on her side before replying. "This is personal. Like really personal. Isn't it?"

Rainbow Dash didn't turn around. "Well duh, Twilight. She's a cold, heartless bitch. I thought I made it clear."

Twilight's expression hardened once more as she looked up at the back of Rainbow Dash's head, continuing on. "Everyone else out there hates Sunset Shimmer for what she's done. They ridicule and chastise her constantly, and although it's uncalled for I can understand to some degree why they would do that. But with you? You seem pretty much set on destroying her! I noticed that out of everyone here, you're the one who attacks her with the most power. For some reason everybody else doesn't seem as eager to challenge Sunset when compared to you. Heck, you even let your hatred of her blind you to from the fact that she's not even trying to be your enemy and that somehow me and Fluttershy are also your enemies for defending her. I don't know about you Rainbow, but that doesn't seem like something any normal person with any regular grudge would do."

Rainbow Dash didn't say anything or even look back at Twilight as she continued, or even after she finished. She just simply stood there in still silence, the hallway surprisingly silent despite the sounds of cheering going on from outside the entrance. Suddenly Rainbow Dash whipped around and got in Twilight's face.

Rainbow: "Twilight….stop. Just…stop. You obviously have NO idea why I'm doing this…but I know why you're defending her. Sunset."

Twilight arched an eyebrow, curious of what she's going to say.

Rainbow: "YOU just want to live in this PERFECT little fantasy world in your egghead brain where there are NO conflicts at all! You-YOU just need to be such a control freak, don't you?! You think that just because you see things one way that any other opinion is totally wrong!"

Twilight's mouth dropped. "I think no such thing! You're the one who's wrong-"

Rainbow Dash put her finger in Twilight's face once more. "HAH! There! Can't stand it, can you?! Can't stand being WRONG!"

Twilight, now annoyed, removed Rainbow Dash's appendage from her face with a quick slap. "Rainbow Dash, this is nonsense!"

Rainbow: "OH?! Believe it or not Twilight I'm not as ignorant as you think I am!"

Twilight: "I NEVER said that-"

Rainbow: "You have been calling the shots ever since we made Canterlot Carnage Pro Wrestling! It's always YOU that calls the meetings! It's always YOU that makes the rules! It's always YOU that organizes the matches-

Twilight: "I don't organize the matches anymore, Rainbow Dash! We have the bingo cage for that now!" Twilight interjected.

Rainbow crossed her arms. "Well you controlled it at some point. The point is that you're a control freak! You can't seem to be in any club, any project, and apparently any WRESTLING COMPANY and not try to make yourself the perfect leader!"

Twilight could feel a vain throbbing in her neck. "This is an organization if anything, and what does ANY of this have to do with Sunset Shimmer?!"

Rainbow: "EASY! I know you, and how much of an insecure little perfectionist you are. You can't let just anyone take charge, NO…it has to be you because you're the straight-A know-it-all that's good at everything. And you can't have anyone think ONE. MEAN. THOUGHT. About you, because then no one would let you boss them around! Must feel good to have everyone love and respect you, huh Twilight?!"

Twilight clenched her fists. "Again, what does this have to do with Sunset?!" Twilight snapped, now further in Rainbow Dash's face.

Rainbow Dash leaned her face in closer until they could both feel each others breath as they spoke. "You KNOW how much of a horrible person Sunset is, don't you? How…everyone hates her. She probably DID sell you some sobby bull-crap, and let's face it you're freaking gullible like that! Since you're convinced by her you see it upon yourself to 'invite' her over and FORCE all of us to let her join-

Twilight: "You all LET her in!" Twilight retorted.

Rainbow Dash: "Don't interrupt me! And since most of us knew that it wouldn't work out, you had to prove to all of us how much of an inspiring leader you are by letting Sunset give us all lectures about how she has 'reformed' and 'turned over a new leaf', and you're over there just nodding your empty head while everyone suffers. Really, you just wanted to make YOURSELF look good! When we were facing Sunset together in that ring last week you knew I had her beat and you couldn't have that. Sunset may not have known it, maybe she did, I don't know. But YOU knew that by blind tagging me, as I was about to get the three-count , you would have a better chance of letting Sunset win, and making ME look like a joke! Then you were probably thinking that because Sunset Shimmer won we all would be good buddies and that everyone would think how stupid they were to ever doubt you! But too bad your genius was too wrapped up in itself to realize that not everyone is dumb as sheep. Sunset has done some of the cruelest things imaginable, and yet you had this dumbass thought that everyone would forget that if they just saw what a good person she was and saw how much of a BETTER person you ARE! What, did you think we would just accept her just because she won a SINGLE match?! YOU THOUGHT THAT I WOULD ACCEPT HER AFTER WHAT SHE'S DONE?! IF THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK THEN YOU'RE NOT AS GODDAMN SMART AS YOU THINK YOU ARE!"

They both stared into each others eyes, peering into each other as both of their bodies shook. They stood there stone cold, neither of them moving an inch from the others face. However, Twilight was first to back up and turn her back to Rainbow Dash, her fists shaking. She said nothing.

Rainbow: "YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SAY ANYTHING BACK?!" shouted Rainbow Dash.

Twilight still stood there breathing in and out. Eventually she turned around with a determined face plastered on her expression. The rage she felt in her eyes was gone now, and was replaced with disappointment. She let out a surprisingly calm reply.

Twilight: "You know what, Rainbow Dash…I'm sorry. I'm sorry I've been…wasting my breath trying to get you to listen to reason. It's obvious you don't want to listen to me…and I should have seen that coming from the get-go. Rainbow Dash…I want you to know that no matter what I'll always be your friend and that I would never do such things to you, or anyone. And as your friend…I'm going to save you from yourself…and the only alternative I have left is to beat you in this match."

Rainbow Dash licked her lips. "I'd like to see you try." Rainbow Dash challenged in a low yet threatening voice.

*~ Britt Nicole's song "Ready or Not (feat. Lecrae)" resonates throughout the building ~*

Twilight: "…I'll see you in the ring."

With that Twilight walked away from her soon to be opponent, and makes her way towards the curtains while Rainbow Dash clenches at her fists trying to contain herself. So much for not losing control.

Five minutes earlier

Vinyl Scratch dimeed the building lights one more time today while activating the cheering of the stuffed animals. Octavia was ringside in the referee outfit as she waits patiently for the competitors of the match. Sunset Shimmer was sitting front row in the right side bleachers to cheer Twilight on. Unfortunately Fluttershy couldn't be with her because she was scheduled to be co-commentator with Lyra. Fluttershy though it uneasy to be a co-commentator at the moment, especially considering the context on which this match is based off of. She hoped Lyra would do most of the talking. The rest of the CCPW members were in the bleachers waiting for the main event to start. Most of them were unsure as to how to feel about this matchup as some of them felt like this was unnecessary, even IF Twilight was defending Sunset Shimmer. Regardless the match had to go on, and so it did.

Lyra: "Hello wrestling fans, and welcome to the main event of Canterlot Carnage Pro Wrestling!"

*- The stuffed animals cheered loudly -*

Fluttershy: "Yeah…"

Lyra looked at Fluttershy curiously, but then the memory of the first match aftermath came to mind, and she decided to not invoke her. "Right…well the main event is going to be a grudge match between Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash had challenged Twilight after she woke up from a KO, because she tagged herself just as Rainbow Dash was about to get the win. And in light of, uh…*ahem* certain events they're both going to have even more baggage for the match. Hopefully they didn't start already…"

Fluttershy took a deep breath, and exhaled. "I just hope that they can get things sorted out. It's not good for friends to fight, especially when they're close like Twilight and Rainbow Dash."

Lyra: "Yeah...so who're you rooting for in this match?"

Fluttershy frowned and bowed her head, covering her face with her pink hair. "I...don't know."

Lyra put a hand on Fluttershy's shoulder, making Fluttershy a little uncomfortable. "Hey, why not cheer for both? Ya know, so neither of them will be upset. That sound okay?"

Fluttershy raised her head and looked at Lyra with uncertainty. "I-guess I can…"

Lyra patted her on the back. "Good. Now let's start this off."

Fluttershy nodded. "Alright."

The lights went dim except for the lights above the ring and the searchlights pointed toward the curtain.

*~ Britt Nicole's song "Ready or Not (feat. Lecrae)" resonates throughout the building ~*

Vinyl (Announcer): "Ayo, what is up AGAIN wrestling fans! This match is scheduled for one fall! Introducin' first…Straight out of the Canterlot Local Library…Standing in at "5'8" and weighing in at 125 lbs…The Star Student of Canterlot High…TWIIILIIIGHT SPAAARKLE!"

*- The stuffed animals cheered loudly -*

Twilight Sparkle emerged from the curtains with a rather serious face; no teethy smiles or entrance poses from her. She took a deep breath and exhaled as if she was calming herself down, and started to speed-walk down the runway, not looking in any other direction except forward.

Lyra cocked her head. "Looks like Twilight's pretty serious about this match. I'm sure I would be…I mean if I actually cared about defending that jerk, Sunset."

Fluttershy frowned deeply. "Let's not bring Sunset up. This match is between Twilight and Rainbow Dash, and the comments should stick to that." Fluttershy said sternly.

Lyra rolled her eyes. "I can say whatever I want. Anyway, I don't know who I should root for either. On one hand Twilight is siding with Sunslut…

Sunset stood up from the bleachers. "Hey, I can hear everything you're saying!"

Lyra ignored her. "…but on the other hand she did let me and Bon Bon enter Canterlot Carnage to begin with, so I'm kinda torn on that."

Fluttershy: "Maybe you can cheer for both too? I mean if it's limited to the match then-"

Lyra: "Hey, look. Twilight's already ringside."

Twilight climbed onto the apron and stepped through the ropes. She wasn't in the best mood to rile the crowd, so she instead went straight to her corner (Which from the commentator's point of view would be the lower right corner) and rested against it. She tries to get her head in the game while she waited for Rainbow Dash to arrive.

*~ A loud sound of thunder struck before There for Tomorrow's song "A Little Faster" resonates throughout the building ~*

Vinyl (Announcer): "Introducing next…Coming straight out of Cloudesdale…Standing in at "5'8" and weighing in at 130 lbs…The Star Athlete of Canterlot High and the Canterlot Diva's Central Champion…RAAAIIINBOOOW DAAASH!"

*- The stuffed animals cheered loudly -*

Rainbow Dash walked out of the curtains with little to know excitement, and casted her attention on her opponent resting against a corner in the ring. Like Twilight, Rainbow Dash didn't want to make a spectacle and wanted nothing more than to beat Twilight's brains out. She didn't even bring her title belt which was usually on her shoulder. It was that serious. Rainbow Dash started to walk down the ring, not taking her eyes off Twilight.

Fluttershy gulped and sunk into her chair, but Lyra didn't seem to notice.

Lyra: "You know what…I'm not going to cheer either of them on. If I don't cheer then nobody will hate me, and if nobody hates me them they won't attack me, and if nobody attacks me…then I'm good and everyone is happy. Especially me." Lyra chimed.

Fluttershy: "Uh huh…" Fluttershy murmured.

Lyra looked down at Fluttershy and yanked her back up by her collar. "Hey, what's the matter?"

Fluttershy gave her an apathetic look, suggesting that Lyra should know by now.

Lyra blushed. "Oh…right. Well I'm sure you guys will make up."

Fluttershy hung her head. "I'm not so sure..."

Lyra shrugged. "Hey, friends always get back together. Anyway the worse thing she could do is beat you up in a match. But what are the odds of that, right?"

Fluttershy's eyes bulged. "*meep*"

Rainbow Dash went ringside and climbed onto the apron. After climbing through the ropes and entering the ring, keeping her eyes on Twilight Sparkle, she walked over to her corner (Which from the commentator's point of view would be the upper left corner) and leaned against it. She began cracking her knuckles and neck as she waited.

Twilight's expression was stone cold, but her inner feelings were still circulating throughout her. Rainbow Dash is a definitely gifted athlete with a strong will to win. Even before Twilight started CCPW, Rainbow Dash had been in her fair share of fights, and won almost all of them. From past to present she still presides over CCPW as the champion after defeating Applejack as the final two in the Three-way match, someone Twilight couldn't defeat. Could she possibly win against Rainbow Dash?

Octavia went over to pat Rainbow Dash down, and Rainbow was still giving Twilight a serious look. Twilight then looked over her shoulder and saw Sunset Shimmer. She was sitting there watching them; she gave Twilight a thumbs up and mouthed "good luck" to her which Twilight responded with a small smile and a nod before turning her attention back to Rainbow Dash.

Twilight: "I can't back out now. Rainbow Dash needs me."

As soon as Octavia finished frisking Twilight, they both walked over to the middle of the ring. There, Rainbow Dash waited with noticeable unrest. She was rolling her shoulders while Octavia went to explain the rules, as is protocol. Twilight, however, was ignoring her since she already knows the rules. She kept her attention solely on her opponent. Twilight knew how Rainbow Dash fights and thinks, but she could still feel her heart starting to race. To think that Fluttershy, Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Vinyl Scratch, and Sunset Shimmer stood in this same spot yet not appear nervous. Then again who was Twilight to guess the feelings of Rainbow Dash's past opponents.

Rainbow: "Hey, Twilight!"

Twilight snapped out of her thoughts and gave her attention to Rainbow Dash.

Rainbow: "Don't go staring off into space like that. I don't want this to end too quickly." Rainbow Dash said as she got into a fighting stance. "Ready ref."

Octavia nodded and looked for Twilight's response.

Twilight took yet another breath and got into a stance. "Gotta concentrate," Twilight thought to herself as she nodded for Octavia to start the match.

Octavia motioned for the bell, and Lyra did just that. *DING! DING! DING!*

---

Twilight: "Okay, knowing Rainbow she'll probably attack right away-AUUGGHH!"

Twilight was suddenly launched backwards by Rainbow Dash's powerfully bum-rushed Front Dropkick out of nowhere. Twilight, obviously surprised by this sudden assault, panickingly turns on all fours and tries to frantically crawl away from her opponent.

Rainbow: "Hey, get back here!"

Twilight was going to crawl-dash for the ropes in the direction of the commentator's table in hopes to regain her bearings on the situation, but that didn't work out too well. As Twilight lunged for the ropes Rainbow Dash managed to grab hold of both of Twilight's boots, but luckily Twilight lunged far enough to grab the middle rope. This lead to Rainbow Dash pulling Twilight off the ground while Twilight hung onto the ropes for dear life.

Rainbow: "C'mon Twilight, stop being such a chicken!" shouted Rainbow Dash as she tried to pull Twilight off the ropes.

Of course this doesn't come unnoticed by the ref, Octavia. "She has the ropes, Rainbow Dash! Release her!"

Rainbow Dash smiled wickedly as Twilight holds the ropes which have been stretched inward to the ring by her pull. "No prob."

Rainbow Dash simply releases her grip on Twilight's feet and lets her go, Twilight wanted to feel relief…but she knew she was going to be feeling something else due to the predicament she was in. With Rainbow Dash's grasp now gone the middle rope will attempt to revert back to its original shape and position. In other words Twilight ends up being slingshot through the middle and top rope, tumbling down the outside ropes onto the apron, and rolling off said apron to descend onto the padding outside the ring.

Fluttershy put her hand over her mouth. "Oh dear…"

Lyra winces. "Rainbow Dash's not holding back much, is she?"

Twilight moans as she tries to get to her feet using the apron as support. Twilight then wobbly walks over to the commentator's table and rests her upper body against it.

Fluttershy: "Twilight….you're doing great….yay," Fluttershy cheered in her sad attempt at being supportive.

Lyra: "By the by, you should probably turn around," warned Lyra.

Twilight turned herself around and found that Rainbow Dash had already positioned herself on the top turnbuckle of her (Twilight's) corner. Twilight didn't have much time to react as Rainbow Dash had already jumped off the turnbuckle sideways to hone in on Twilight where she landed a harsh Suicide Diving Crossbody on her. Twilight screamed as Rainbow Dash's Crossbody knocked her down into a sitting position against the commentator's table where she hit the back of her head against it. Rainbow Dash slowly got off of Twilight, who was still moaning in a sitting position, and to her feet. Sunset Shimmer, who was in the front row near them, stood up from her seat to get a closer look.

Rainbow Dash saw this and pointed at her. "Sit your ass down and wait your turn, Sunset!" she snapped.

Sunset Shimmer growled but was quickly calmed by Fluttershy's worried look. Sunset, shamefully, backed down and watched as Rainbow Dash switched her attention back to Twilight. Only to realize that Octavia was already counting them out inside the ring,

Octavia: "11!...12!...13!"

Rainbow Dash acted quickly and grabbed Twilight by her hair and arm before pulling her back up to her feet. Rainbow Dash then ran with Twilight over to the apron where she basically used the momentum to fling Twilight onto the apron and push her under the ropes. Rainbow Dash then quickly crawled back in to the ring, ending Octavia's count at 16.

Fluttershy: "I think Rainbow Dash is preparing for a pin…"

Rainbow Dash got to her knees and walked on them over to Twilight's body which was face-down on the mat. Rainbow Dash got over onto her right side and pushed her onto her back before using her upper body to cover Twilight's chest also while placing her boots on the bottom rope to add some leverage.

Octavia dropped to her knees. "1!...Hey, get off the ropes!"

Rainbow Dash cursed silently in anger and moved herself back up to her feet while Twilight turned back onto her stomach.

Lyra: "Looks like Rainbow Dash 'forgot' that using ropes as leverage in a pin is illegal."

Fluttershy nodded nervously. "I'm sure that just slipped her mind…" Fluttershy said in vain hope.

Since Twilight was already on her belly, Rainbow Dash had no problem gaining a standing position above Twilight and face towards her legs. Rainbow Dash then reached down and grabbed both of Twilight's feet before pulling them, and her lower body, up. Twilight's eyes widened as Rainbow Dash attempted to make a turn towards the middle of the ring. Twilight tried to reach for the bottom rope but Rainbow Dash pulled her away just in time. Rainbow Dash walked forward and pulled the struggling Twilight by her feet from under her until they reached the middle of the ring. There Rainbow Dash places each boot underneath each of her armpits and then walks backwards until she was above Twilight's lower back. Rainbow Dash then squats and pulls back on Twilight's legs to completely apply the Boston Crab to the now screaming Twilight.

Lyra: "This doesn't look good for Twilight. In the middle of the ring, put in a Boston Crab, she can only endure the suffering."

Fluttershy didn't reply as she still had her hands covered by her palms.

Back in the ring, Rainbow continued to tighten the Boston Crab.

Rainbow: "Give it up Twilight! You know you can't beat me in a fight!"

Twilight: "I will never give up!"

After taking a FULL MINUTE of bending her opponent's back and legs like a pretzel Rainbow Dash finally released Twilight's legs and gets off her back. She then bends down to drag Twilight up to her feet where Rainbow Dash playfully pats Twilight on the cheek. Rainbow Dash, however, didn't realize that she was waking Twilight from her daze and was punished with a jab to her ribs. Twilight took a fighting stance with her fists in front of her while Rainbow Dash did the same. The next minute became an actual fistfight between the two best friends. Twilight was doing rather well, but Rainbow Dash was the one that was truly dominating; she was catching most of Twilight's punches and delivering her own to the rest of Twilight's body. This wasn't too surprising since Rainbow Dash's reflexes were more developed than Twilight's, but it was still impressive.

Lyra: "Good thing this isn't CCPB: Canterlot Carnage Pro Boxing otherwise Twilight would be a goner."

Fluttershy nodded in agreement, but still tried her best to cheer for the both of them. "You two are doing great….woohoo…"

Rainbow Dash nailed a few blows to the woozy Twilight's chest before rocking an uppercut to her chin. Twilight's head retracted from the blow and caused her to sway as she walked backwards and holds her jaw. Rainbow Dash turns to run back and bounce off the ropes in the direction of the runway and uses their momentum to rush at Twilight. Rainbow Dash then performs a Lariat Takedown (Also known as a Running Neckbreaker) by running at her and using her right arm to wrap it around Twilight's upper chest and neck, swinging her legs forward, and using her momentum to pull down Twilight down along with her with both of them landing on their upper backs; Twilight sustaining the most damage of course. Rainbow Dash un-wrapped her arm around Twilight and stood on her knees, raising both of her fists in the air. Meanwhile Twilight groggily tries to sit up, but Rainbow Dash grabs hold of the back of her hair and pulls her back down to her back. Rainbow Dash then rolls her body on top of Twilight's until she stops at her abdomen. Rainbow Dash reaches over and uses her right arm to hook Twilight's left leg back for a pin.

Octavia counts. "1!...2!.KICKOUT!"

Lyra: "And Twilight kicks out AGAIN! Twilight might just pull through!"

Fluttershy releases her hands from her mouth to reply. "Yes….but Rainbow Dash's pretty determined. N-Not that it's a bad thing! Just a bad thing for…Twilight…"

Sunset: "And me," Sunset thought as she watched the fight go down.

Rainbow Dash released Twilight's leg and gets back onto her knees and pounds the ground in frustration. Rainbow Dash then decides to vent by getting to her feet and arguing with the ref; AKA Octavia.

Rainbow: "Hey ref, your counts are way to slow! Who's side are you on?!"

Octavia: "I'm on nobody's side. I'm the referee."

Meanwhile, Twilight groggily moaned and felt her head. She turned her head and was surprised to see Rainbow Dash standing up to argue with the referee, facing away and ignoring her completely. Twilight knew that this was her perfect chance to turn the tide of this match. Twilight wanted to think of several ways on what to do, but she knew that Rainbow Dash could turn her attention back on her anytime now. So Twilight, albeit reluctantly, decided to do the first thing that came to her mind.

Twilight tuned onto her right side and gave her right leg a good kick across the mat and behind Rainbow Dash's right foot. The sudden kick caused Rainbow Dash to lose balance and fall back onto her tailbone in surprise. Twilight took advantage of Rainbow Dash's stun to quickly scramble back onto her feet and stand behind her. Twilight bends down and puts Rainbow Dash in an inverted facelock by bending Rainbow Dash's upper body backwards, tucking Rainbow Dash's head face-up under her right armpit, and wrapping her right arm around Rainbow Dash's head so the forearm is pressed against the back of her (Rainbow Dash's) neck. Twilight then uses her free left arm to hook back Rainbow Dash's left arm back, and then proceeds to pull Rainbow Dash's head back and up to wrench her neck for a Dragon Sleeper. Rainbow Dash then urked in pain while Twilight sat down and wrapped her legs around her waist for a body scissor hold (which, with this hold, can sometimes be referred to as a Beast Choker) which allowed Twilight to lean back further thereby increasing the wrench on Rainbow Dash's neck.

Sunset: "HA!" exclaims Sunset Shimmer from the bleachers.

Fluttershy: "Oh Twilight, don't hurt Rainbow Dash too much…" Fluttershy silently begged.

Back in the ring, Twilight kept Rainbow Dash locked in the Sleeper good and tight despite Rainbow's frantic kicking and waving of her free arm.

Twilight: "Huh. Not thinking worked better than I thought it would. Now, I just half to keep this hold locked tight. Then maybe, just maybe, I can make her tap. Unless she loses consciousness, but hopefully it won't half to come to that…" Twilight thought as she tightened the hold.

Rainbow Dash seemed to be in a difficult situation, but she as usual was trying to not show any weakness by screaming. She only grunted at the pain as she tried to find a way out. Rainbow Dash eventually realized the existence of her free right arm. Rainbow Dash felt around above her and eventually felt the right side of Twilight's head and gave it a good, albeit awkwardly executed, punch. Twilight yelped at the sudden punch and another punch after that one. Twilight pulled her head over onto her left shoulder in order to avoid Rainbow Dash's head punches, but was disappointed to find that the right side of her neck was wide open. Rainbow Dash got a good feel of her neck and gave it a strong jab. The blow must have hit the right place because Twilight screamed loudly and released Rainbow Dash from the hold to nurse the right side of her head and neck. Rainbow Dash, now free, pulled off Twilight's legs from her waist to break the body scissor.

Fluttershy: "That's a shame…for Twilight I mean."

Rainbow Dash scooted herself around and winced ash she got to her feet above Twilight who was still rubbing her neck in a sitting position. Twilight looked up and watched Rainbow Dash stand up in front of her, towering above her when on two feet. Rainbow Dash's expression turned sour and as the shadows of the lights covered her eyes. Twilight couldn't help but shake. She was used to seeing the competitive yet also cocky attitude of the young athlete. This must be what it feels like to be on the receiving end of Rainbow Dash's anger. And Rainbow being angry is intimidating enough without her also wanting to pummel her.

Rainbow Dash cracked her knuckles. "Get up, Twilight. It's time to get serious."

Twilight's eyes bulged but she eventually shook it off. "NO! I have to beat her!"

Twilight was about to stand, but Rainbow Dash helped her by pulling her up by her hair. Rainbow Dash then released her hair and held her in place by using her right hand to hold her chin. Rainbow Dash then turns around to Twilight's left side (facing the same direction as Twilight) and uses her right arm to put Twilight into a three-quarter facelock. Using her free left hand to hold the top of Twilight's head, Rainbow Dash jumps and hikes her legs to fall into a sitting position, forcing Twilight's jaw into her shoulder for a Stunner. Twilight shot up, but refused to fall as she stands on her knees with a shocked expression.

Lyra: "Takes some heart to not get laid out by a Stunner. A very 'stunning' Stunner if I do say so myself."

Fluttershy: "Please, stop it Lyra. Watching this match is difficult enough…n-no offense…"

Lyra crossed her arms and pouted. "Party pooper…"

Rainbow Dash swiftly gets to her feet, right side facing Twilight, and connects a calf kick across Twilight's collar bone, knocking Twilight back to the mat with her legs shooting out from under her previous position. With Twilight laid out on her back, Rainbow Dash jumped over to Twilight's head and bent down to grab her wrists and pulls her over to the ropes in the direction of the commentator's table. Rainbow Dash positioned Twilight diagonal to the ropes in a laid out pose before turning away from her. Rainbow Dash then jumped on the bottom rope and used it to sling shot herself above Twilight, twisting in mid-air until she could see Twilight…rolling away. Rainbow Dash's eyes bulged as she tried to stop her descent, but ultimately she fell face-down with a thud; her 180 Springboard Splash landing on the mat. Fluttershy held her hands over her face from the sound of Rainbow Dash's face contacting canvas. Meanwhile, Twilight rolled into a sitting position and sighed in relief from such a close call. Twilight the recognized that Rainbow Dash was groaning from her self-made face plant.

Twilight: "Now's my chance!"

Without delay, Twilight got to her feet and ran to Rainbow Dash to pull her away from the ropes. Twilight then jumps over to her opponent's right side and gets in a sitting position parallel and the same direction as Rainbow Dash. Twilight grabs Rainbow Dash's right arm and places it in between her legs before scissoring the bicep. Twilight then reaches over and grabs Rainbow's far left arm with both hands. Twilight then pulls her arm towards her, forcing Rainbow Dash partly onto her right side to complete the Scissored Armbar.

Sunset: "Woohoo! Go Twilight!" Sunset cheered from her seat.

Twilight: "C'mon, Rainbow Dash! Just give up! Give up and we can end this!" Twilight shouted in a begging-like way.

Rainbow Dash shook her head and kicked her feat as she tried to ignore the pain. "FUCK YOU!"

Twilight kept the pressure on, but it didn't seem like she was giving in any time soon. Then again this was Rainbow Dash, wasn't it? She'd rather die than give up. Twilight should have realized that this was not the best strategy for beating someone like her. Twilight could feel herself getting more and more exhausted as she maintained the pointless hold.

Twilight: "Fine then. Guess I'll have to do this the hard way." Twilight muttered under her breath before releasing Rainbow Dash from the hold. Twilight new that Rainbow Dash wouldn't stay down forever, so she had to act fast. Twilight quickly got up and leaped over to her opponent's head. Rainbow Dash was already getting up on all fours which made it easier for Twilight to grab her by her hair and yank her up to her feet. Twilight, expecting Rainbow Dash to counter attack immediately, dodged her front kick. While Rainbow Dash retracted back into a stationary stance, Twilight spun around until she was in front of Rainbow Dash and facing the same direction as her. Shifting very slightly to Rainbow Dash's left side Twilight reaches back and uses her right arm to put Rainbow Dash into a three-quarter facelock. Afterwards Twilight wraps her right leg around Rainbow Dash's left leg and sweeps it away while simultaneously throwing herself backwards.

Rainbow suddenly got a sense of what was happening and reacted accordingly. "Oh cra-ACK!"

Rainbow Dash suddenly found herself driven backwards into the mat with Twilight's weight on top of her, and her neck being wrenched.

Lyra: "Twilight lands a Three-Quarter Facelock Russian Legsweep on the champ!"

Fluttershy: "*EEEP!*"

Twilight rolled onto her side and off of Rainbow Dash who was laid out as she roans and cradles her head. Twilight immediately leapt into a cover with her right forearm across the mat on the other side of Rainbow Dash's body, and her left arm overhooking Rainbow Dash's right leg into the air.

Twilight: "COUNT!"

Octavia didn't hesitate. "1!...2!..

Rainbow Dash kicked out with her hooked leg and abruptly stood up with a pissed look on her face as she nails Twilight's right shoulder blade with a full-knuckle punch. Twilight let out a yelp of pain while Rainbow Dash grabbed Twilight by her hair and threw her off her (Rainbow Dash) and onto her back. Rainbow Dash immediately crawled on top of Twilight and strattles her abdomen and begins raining down haymakers on her; Twilight shouting in agony at each blow as they strike her unguarded head.

Fluttershy looked away. "Oh my goodness, oh my goodness!"

Lyra: "Yeah, Rainbow Dash is getting pretty ticked!"

Octavia felt kind of unnerved by watching this. She was about to go and count, but Rainbow Dash eventually stopped her barrage of fists and breathed heavily as she stared down at her opponent. Twilight's eyes were squeezed shut and there was a slight bruising on one of her cheeks.

Rainbow: "You think you can pin me *huff* after a little LEGSWEEP?!"

Rainbow Dash stood up over Twilight before bending down to grab her and stands her up. Rainbow Dash then Irish Whipped her towards the ropes in the direction of the runway. Rainbow Dash ran at her as she was doing the same thing. They both bounced off the ropes, and as they both got close enough to each other Rainbow Dash suddenly turned around and stuck out her right leg to mule kick Twilight in the gut to stop her in her tracks. Twilight held her gut and backed away but Rainbow Dash suddenly grabbed by her again, Rainbow Dash quickly and methodically used her left arm to put Twilight's head into a front facelock, and quickly falls backwards while swinging her legs foreword to drive Twilight's head into the mat for a Snap DDT. However, Rainbow Dash wasn't finished. She then picked up Twilight, put her in a front facelock again, and performed yet another Snap DDT!

Lyra winced. "Ooooooo! Twilight's brain must be pink jelly by now!"

Fluttershy shook her head. "I-I don't care who wins or loses! I just want someone to win so we can get this over with!" Fluttershy cries in her mind as she prays for the match to end soon.

Twilight lands on her side to which Rainbow Dash immediately gets to her knees and pushes Twilight onto her back. Rainbow Dash then crawls across Twilight's body and uses her right arm to hook Twilight's dangling left leg.

Octavia drops to count. "1!...2!...KICKOUT!"

Lyra: "OH man, that was so close!"

Rainbow Dash released Twilight's leg and stood on her knees, holding her head in frustration. Eventually she stood up and brought Twilight slowly up to her feet as well. At this point Twilight looked like she had been in a carnival ride because she was swaying back and forth in a dizzy manner. Rainbow Dash grabbed her to keep her still.

Rainbow: "Let's see you kick out of THIS!"

Rainbow Dash suddenly Irish Whipped Twilight towards the ropes in the direction of the runway once more. After throwing her, Rainbow Dash immediately began running for the ropes in the opposite direction. Twilight bounced off the ropes while Rainbow Dash jumped and landed her feet on the middle ropes on her side of the ring. Twilight dazedly ran back at Rainbow Dash, her head to dizzy to recognize that Rainbow Dash had used the momentum from bouncing off the middle ropes to catapult her into the air. Rainbow Dash sticks out her right boot and does a 360 degree spin in which her boot connected with the side of Twilights' head with a loud *THWACK!* to connect her signature *Spectrum Kick* (Springboard Spinning Heel Kick). Twilight didn't go down right away. Twilight also spun a full 360 before she fell to her knees with her forelegs crossed under her.

Twilight: "Rainbow…Dash…"

Twilight's eyes rolled to the back of her head as she let the darkness engulf her mind. With a final breath of defeat Twilight fell sideways and face-down in a broken heap, unmoving and probably brain dead.

Lyra: "And Twilight's out like a light! A 'TWI'-light!"

Fluttershy ignored her horrible pun. "Please let it be over…"

Rainbow Dash landed and rolled onto her feet. Exasperatedly, she gets on all fours and crawl-dashes over to Twilight's prone body and pushes her onto her back. Rainbow Dash panted as she looked at Twilight's face which had a bruise on one cheek from her heel. Rainbow Dash excitedly grabbed Twilight's still crossed legs with both arms and pulled them back; Rainbow Dash's back lying diagonally across Twilight's frame with Twilight's crossed legs and bottom in the air.

Rainbow: "Count her out of here, ref!"

Octavia gulped, but shook her head as she got on her knees. "1!...2!...3!"

Sunset: "NO!" Sunset cried.

Octavia motioned for the bell to be rung, and Lyra did so. *DING! DING! DING!*

---

*~ A loud sound of thunder struck before There for Tomorrow's song "A Little Faster" resonates throughout the building ~*

Rainbow Dash smirked as she pushed Twilight's lower body off of her and lets it limply fall onto the mat. She then got off of Twilight and back on her knees as she raises her fist in the air. Octavia helped her up and kept her arm raised while Rainbow Dash placed her boot on Twilight's chest.

Octavia: "HERE IS YOUR WINNER BY PINFALL! RAINBOW DASH!"

*- The stuffed animals cheered loudly -*

Lyra: "What a one-sided and kind of short matchup that was! Of course it's no surprise that the champion wins though."

Fluttershy put a hand on her heart and exhaled softly. "At least it's over."

Back in the ring Rainbow Dash suddenly yanked her hand away from Octavia. Rainbow Dash then looked over at Sunset Shimmer before demanding a microphone from Octavia. Octavia didn't argue and went to fetch one.

Lyra frowned. "I don't think Rainbow Dash's done just yet, Fluttershy."

Fluttershy's relief faded and replaced itself with worry. "*sigh* of course she isn't..." Fluttershy whispered to herself.

Octavia gave Rainbow Dash a microphone and quickly exited the ring. Rainbow Dash gave a sigh before holding the microphone up to her mouth,

Rainbow: "Hey, Sunset! Get your ass in this ring, NOW! I got a few things I wanna say!"

Everyone in the bleachers started murmuring between one another while Fluttershy was praying that this wasn't going to end with blood in the ring. Sunset Shimmer, on the other hand, felt that she had to hear what Rainbow had to say, so she walked out of the bleachers and climbed into the ring. She approached Rainbow Dash until they were only a few feet apart. Sunset Shimmer was more worried about the bruised and beaten Twilight though.

Rainbow Dash pointed at Twilight's unconscious body. "I…never wanted to do that. I didn't think it would come to this, and so quickly too…that my friends would stab me in the back just to protect someone like you. They just can't seem to get the idea that nobody wants a monster like you around."

Sunset Shimmer scowled and marched up to Rainbow Dash, swiping the microphone from her hand.

Sunset: "You're calling ME a monster?! Look at what you just did to one of your closest friends, Rainbow Dash!"

Rainbow Dash snatched the microphone back. "She doesn't matter now. What matters now are you and CCPW…for starters I think it's worth reminding you that NOBODY WANTS YOU HERE, SUNSET SHIMMER!"

Octavia came back into the ring with another microphone and gave it to Sunset due to another request from Rainbow Dash.

Sunset: "Then if I wasn't welcome then why did you let me in?!"

Rainbow: "HELL IF I KNOW! But that's not what I'm getting at. What I'm getting at is that ever since you came here you've been nothing but a nuisance. We never even had this many fights amongst ourselves until you came along and ruined everything. As usual."

Sunset Shimmer put her fist on her hip. "You going to say something I DON'T already know, or are you going to keep BITCHING all day?"

Rainbow scowled. "Yeah I am. You are leaving Canterlot Carnage Pro Wrestling!"

*- The stuffed animals cheered loudly -*

Sunset Shimmer arched her eyebrow. "And you're going to do this, how?" Sunset asked with a droll tone of voice.

Rainbow: "By challenging you to a 2/3 falls RETIREMENT MATCH!"

The stuffed animals were still cheering to the will of Vinyl Scratch, and even the other members of CCPW were getting a little pumped if not concerned that Twilight could possibly be in a concussion. The only one who didn't seem excited was Fluttershy who jumped out of the commentator's chair and ran to the ring, crawling in and going to check up on Twilight. Sunset Shimmer looked over at Fluttershy and frowned, but Rainbow Dash didn't seem to notice.

Rainbow: "You've over stayed your welcome, and I think it's time you take a freakin' hint! And you know what?! I'm not going to beat around the bush anymore! You are a horrible person that can NEVER change, and never will change! Sunset Shimmer, you've been the bane of everyone's existence and I bet they would all love nothing more than to see me put your ass down! And I AM SO WILLING TO OBLIGE! You have cheated, stolen, and bullied far too long to warrant a benefit of the doubt! In fact, I think that girl would really like to see YOU overdose-

*SA-MACK!*

Vinyl Scratch immediately deactivated the cheering animals and stood silent as the sound of flesh hitting flesh rippled. Sunset Shimmer had just slapped Rainbow Dash with a stinging amount of force, and she very much enjoyed it. Rainbow Dash's eyes widened in surprise as she felt her throbbing cheek. Her pupils shrunk and her eyebrows narrowed, giving her appearance of a somewhat insane person with a bad temper. Sunset Shimmer didn't care though. She kept a solemn expression, but with burning hostility in her eyes, as she speaks into the microphone.

Sunset: "You know…you're really pathetic Rainbow Dash. You're not a pathetic athlete, but you're a pathetic person. Ever since I came here it's YOU that has been the biggest cunt! To me and apparently to your friends! I would have thought that you gotten over all that stuff, but I guess I was over-estimating you wasn't I?! Believe it or not I know you! You're the type that has the biggest inferiority complex, and you try to hide it by boasting about how great you are! Always winning, but never able to know how to take a loss…it's sad. It's even sadder that I actually BOTHERED trying to make a loser like you my friend! And you know what?! YOU KNOW WHAT?! I don't even WANT to try and be your friend anymore! It's obvious you don't like me, and I sure as HELL don't like YOU! But if you think you can intimidate me…then you've picked the wrong bitch to mess with. Know that I am NEVER leaving CCPW as long as I have people who believe in me! And also know that I DON'T accept your challenge. Because it would be a waste to have to lay out a pathetic weakling like you-

Rainbow: "RRRRRHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH!

Rainbow Dash suddenly tackled Sunset Shimmer to the ground and began wailing on her. Sunset Shimmer finally snapped and pushed her off before leaping at her and starting to beat the hell out of her too. They were both screaming in loud, inhuman shrills as they started to pull each others hair and pound at each others face, noticeable amounts of blood coming out of Rainbow Dash's nose and Sunset Shimmer's lower lip. Fluttershy cried for help and got it, Soon everyone was running out of the bleachers, including Lyra who was running from the commentator's table, and climbed into the ring. They all tried to pry them off each other, but found it difficult as they were yanking at each others hair, biting to draw blood, and screaming in intense fury. Meanwhile Fluttershy began to weep and cry over Twilight's body as she listens to the sounds of her friends fighting, and growing further and further apart.

And that was chapter 36. I had to rewrite it because this chapter was previously written in a different way that didn't really help the story continue. Good thing that I accidentally erased chapter 35. huh? Well, please leave a review and remember that I'm a busy guy. But also remember that I'll always be thinking about you.

Because I love all of you. O_O

So until next chapter, arevoir and Happy Valentine's Day...which was yesterday, F*CK!
