Sombra Vs Luna
Who is Deadliest?
Sombra, the king of the wastes to the north, who ruled the crystal ponies with an iron hoof or Luna, princess of the night and one part of the Equestrian Diarchy. Which of these two dark monarchs is stronger? To find out we call upon the experts of both Luna and Sombra to submit information. Representing Sombra is Grogar, his respected teacher.
"I believe that my student will easily take down Luna. She is but a child throwing tantrums while Sombra learned to control his emotions and stay cool." Grogar says confidently. Representing Luna is Nightwing, part of her elite "dragon" guards.
"The princess has lived for far longer than Sombra and she has gone into history while Sombra was forgotten completely" Nightwing boasts. Let us see if he can put his word to the test. First we will analyze Luna's stats
Princess Luna
Type: Super Alicorn
Special Talent: Moving the Moon and controlling the night
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 900 lbs.
Out of touch with modern times
The more war-like of the royal sisters
Went evil as Nightmare Moon and was banished before being healed
"As an alicorn Luna has vastly more power than a regular unicorn" Nightwing says while drawing an arcane symbol. "Since there is not method to measure magic we go by feats. It took five ponies and the power of a runic circle to move the Moon in ancient times while Luna can do it by herself." he says, emphasizing the power of the circle. "Princess Luna is also a master at transfiguration and can change herself and other objects with ease" he says while demonstrating a clip of Luna turning into smoke and turning toys into spiders. "Luna can also fly at an average speed" Nightwing says without much flare. Grogar snorts at the flight comment.
"We get that she's great but she has weaknesses, yes? So get to them!" the evil goat hisses impatiently. Nightwing scowls before continuing.
"Unfortunately, the Princess has a temper that causes her to lose sight of things and go berserk when things don't go her way" the Lunar guard grumbles dejectedly. "The Princess can also be somewhat flamboyant at times, but that's it!" Nightwing finishes abruptly. Grogar chuckles at Nightwing's visible awkwardness before stepping forward and starting his own presentation.
King Sombra
Type:Unicorn
Special Talent: Unknown but very good at creating dark crystal constructs
4'11"
661 Lbs
A sadist
Expert in dark magic
Was killed when his body exploded due to the Crystal Heart
"While still a unicorn, Sombra is much stronger than any other unicorn and required both royal sisters to put down" Grogar says before creating a dark crystal. "Sombra draws his power from these crystals and can use them to make invisible passages, false doors, and illusions. The crystals can be fooled with dark magic however" Grogar says before demonstrating the crystal's power and covering the room in darkness. "However, Sombra's greatest asset is his mind which takes after my own. He will not play games with an opponent and will kill them the first chance he has. This mind also lets him set traps that can fool even Twilight Sparkle" Grogar says, finishing off with a clank from the bells on his collar. Nightwing raised his hoof, grinning cheekily.
Grogar did not give him an answer. "Unfortunately, my pupil is not perfect. He can get caught in bloodlust and stop being pragmatic and is not as mobile as the Princess" Grogar growls like the words are venom
Now that we have our data let the fight begin!
Luna looks about the palace chambers, attempting to find the unicorn king who had destroyed this kingdom.
She grows tired of waiting and screams into the halls "Is anypony there?!" Luna doesn't have to search much longer as a crystaline shard just barely misses impaling her skull. Before she can react she is tackled to the ground and pinned by crystals around her legs. Sombra leaps onto her and grins before taking a bite out of the helpless alicorn. Luna screams in agony as the monstrous unicorn gulps down a chunk of flesh from her side. While Sombra tastes the blood, Luna turns her bonds into flowers and blasts Sombra back with a bolt of magic. Sombra loses his manic expression and begins to concentrate his power. Luna lets out a yell and calls down a meteor shower on Sombra. Luna smirks expecting there to be a corpse where she shot at, however there is just a hole crackling with dark magic. Luna scowls before flying into the hole.
Sombra sees Luna on crystal screens and grins. He won't go wild this time. He set all his traps to activate before falling into a meditative state. Surely, Luna wouldn't survive the vicious onslaught.
Luna dodged back and forth as crystal spears shot from the walls. The rooms before hoof (falling roof, fearful crystal beasts, and mentally broken ponies) had exhausted Luna and so she wasn't fast enough to dodge all of them. The spears struck Luna and left minor cuts. Strangely, the pain simply made Luna fly into a rage. She let out a cry as a power wave shot from her body and obliterated the entire lower castle. Here eyes glowing white with fury, Luna swooped up the tower intending to kill the tricky unicorn.
Luna burst through the door and started shooting blasts instantly. Her fury was only quelled when the tower was completely destroyed. She then heard mocking laughter from the other tower as Sombra laughed at Luna's navigational error. Luna didn't think and simply charged at a speed that Sombra was not expecting. She tackled him to the floor and started blasting away at the king, yelling to punctuate every blow. By the time she had finished Sombra was covered in blood from hundred of cuts and bruises across his body. Luna got to her feet preparing the killing blow. Her horn glowed dark blue as she created a sword of magic. Shunk! Sombra's eyes widened then closed in relaxation when he realized the sound had been a crystal impaling Luna. Luna didn't even scream and simply writhed on the dark crystal while coughing up blood and vomit. While Sombra was meditating he was also concentrating his power to create a crystal which could kill an alicorn. Sombra thought to himself what fun he could have once the horn was cut off. The ponies say you can still hear Sombra torturing Luna to this very day
The winner is Sombra! While Luna had the advantage of surprise her natural flamboyance ruined her ambush and allowed Sombra to get the jump on her. The battle would've been over here had Sombra not given into his blood lust and tortured her. This allowed Luna to bring her greater power to bear and call upon her powers of the night. Sombra however was able to escape as he has planned for situations like this. While Luna is too powerful for his traps to kill her they do weaken and stall her, allowing Sombra to summon his crystals. When Luna flies into a rage due to frustration she has sealed her own fate by not watching out for any enchantments.
"Sombra is the best student I ever had and I knew that dealing with a jumped up toddler would be easy" Grogar says to an upset Nightwing
The winner is Sombra
Gilda Vs Garble
Who Is Deadliest?
Garble, the teenage dragon and raider of phoenix eggs or Gilda, the only Gryphon to have ever kept up with Rainbow Dash. Which of these cool Gs is deadlier? To find out we call upon experts of both Gilda and Garble to submit information. Representing Garble is Spike, Garble's old friend and now ambassador for Equestria.
"I recently reignited my friendship with Garble and can tell you more than anyone on how dragons are one of the strongest species" Spike says while showing a picture of him and an older Garble shaking hands. Representing Gilda is Rainbow Dash, Gilda's former friend.
"I may not be friends with her anymore but I respect her skill enough to support her in this fight" Rainbow Dash says, attempting to sound confident in her statement. Let's find out Gilda's stats to better determine her chances in this physical brawl.
Gilda
Type: Gryphon
Special Talent: Non-applicable as far as cutie marks go but would probably have to do with speed
Height: 6'
Weight: 450 lbs
Short temper
Gets jealous easily
Went to Junior Speedsters Flight Camp with Rainbow Dash
"Gilda is almost as fast as me when I'm not about to do a sonic rainboom" Rainbow says with a hint of arrogance. Spike scoffs at the cyan pegasus' arrogance under his breath. If looks could kill, Spike's soul would've been erased from the universe from the stink eye that Rainbow gave him. "Okay, just as fast" Rainbow amends, still looking at Spike viciously. "Gilda also has the strength of a lion and the claws and beak of an eagle to help in CQC" Rainbow Dash says before looking at the back of her hoof to check her notes. "Gilda's tail is also pre-prehes-,err, it can grab things" the pegasus finishes lamely before walking back to her seat. A hole in space and time suddenly appears next to the podium and Pinkie shoots out of it.
"Now hold on a minute Dashie! You forgot to spell out Gilda's weaknesses for the readers": Pinkie shrieks before leaping onto the podium and taking over. "Gilda isn't very smart and fell for Dashie's pranks way too easily for someone who should know about them" Pinkie says while pulling out a diagram explaining a gryphon as a "bird-brain". "Gilda also gets angry alot and would probably rage in seconds if Dashie isn't there to calm her" Pinkie finishes before leaping back into hyperspace.
"Gee I wonder if bad temper is the curse of all these fighters" Dark-heart mutters from his position in the judges' chair before waving Spike forward.
Garble
Type: Dragon
Special Talent: Not applicable as far as cutie marks go but is the strongest among the teen dragons
Height: 10'
Weight: 1000 lbs.
Leader of the teen dragons at the rookery
Respects strength
Ambassador of the dragons to Equestria
"As a dragon, Garble's bite can crush stone with ease and his claws can tear through rock with little trouble" Spike says before proving his statement by taking a chunk out of a ruby and eating it. "Garble's hide is heatproof against natural fire though it has no special resistance to magical fire" Spike says while showing a clip of Garble getting burned by a phoenix and himself getting burned by Twilight's teleport. "Garble can belch fire but his fire is not very hot and will fail to kill a pony" Spike said, demonstrating by blasting a dummy with fire. "Garble's tail is strong and prehensile as well" Spike says while giving a triumphant look at Rainbow Dash.
"No dragon is better than gryphon! Spit out his weaknesses" Rainbow roars angrily. Spike returns his own stink eye and continues
"While Garble can fly, he's not very agile or fast in the air" Spike says, chuckling in remembrance of an event in which Garble had almost instigated war with the minotaurs by crashing into their chieftan. "Garble is also rather reckless and has put his thick skull through its paces many times" Spike says in a hushed tone like Garble was in the room. "Speaking of which, Garble is also pretty blunt and not clever compared to me, though he isn't dumb." Spike concludes then bows with a flourish and goes back to his chair.
Now that we have our data, let the fight begin!
Garble looks over the gem deposit hungrily and starts to chew on the amethyst geodes that grow out of the wall of a mountain. Before Garble can really dig in though, Gilda slams him to the ground feeling that this stranger is taking from her property. While most would've been stunned by the shock of the attack, Garble simply headbutted the gryphon to knock her off of him. Gilda groans and clutches at her skull to attempt to rub out the pain that was pulseating through it. Garble roars out a challenge and charges forward to choke slam the gryphon. Gilda recovers just in time and takes off with a flick of her wings. Garble's skull then makes connection with a boulder behind Gilda, stunning the dragon. Gilda wraps her tail around the dragon's head and begins to constrict. Garble's attempts to breather fire failed as the tail cut off his breathing. Garble then came up with the simple solution: he bit the tail. Gilda squawked in fury and pain as the bones in her tail cracked and snapped. She whipped around and slashed Garble across the face, leaving a set of bleeding triple scars.
Garble touched them in shock before exclaiming "You hit me in the face"
"You bit my tail" Gilda retorted before returning to blowing on the bitten area
"You....hit....me....in....the....face" Garble says with rage building at the boldness of this chicken.
"You bit my f*cking tail!" Gilda shrieks before charging forward and slashing at the dragon. In her fury she forgot about Garble's wings and he took to the air, dodging her slash. Gilda snarled before boosting off the ground and charging after the dragon. Garble looked around frantically, the gryphon had disappeared. He soon discovered where she was when she hammerclawed him to the ground with a resounding crack! Before Garble could even recover his senses, Gilda followed up with an aerial stomp into Garble's gut. Blood flew out of Garble's mouth and he fell to the ground with his eyes rolled back. Gilda snorted and spat at the body before turning back to her cave. Suddenly, a blast of flame struck her in the back and floored the gryphon. Gilda's back was covered in second degree burns, crippling her and making the gryphon know true pain. Garble held up Gilda by the throat before catching her in a bear hug.
"Check if their dead next time" Garble snarled before intensifying his bear hug and shattering the gryphon's spine with a sickening crunch! The gryphon fell to the ground, bits of drool sticking out of her mouth. Garble then heeded his own advice and grabbed the Gilda's beak in his claws before ripping the gryphon in half from the top down. Garble let out a screech of victory, letting all other beasts know this was his territory.
The winner is Garble! While Garble was a fool in not checking his surroundings, his scales protected him from the worst of Gilda's assault. In this case Garble's recklessness helps him to escape as a more rational creature would've panicked instead of being blunt. However, Garble's recklessness comes to bite him as he charges Gilda before restraining her. Gilda's agility and speed allowed her to escape Garble's charge and attempt to choke him with her prehensile tail. Gilda did not think this through and this results in getting bitten. Gilda's temper causes her to overlook Garble's wings but this is of small issue as she easily out speeds and outmaneuvers him. Gilda's stupidity cost her dearly as she though Garble was dead when he wasn't. Garble could come up with this plan because while he's not clever, he is not dumb either. After Gilda was crippled by his fire it was a matter of ease to use his draconic strength to finish the job.
"The computer was probably Chinese and so it picked a dragon" Rainbow excuses while Spike mumbles something about racism.
The winner is Garble. 
Spitfire vs Rainbow Dash
Who Is Deadliest?
Spitfire, the captain of the Wonderbolts and drill sergeant at the Wonderbolt Academy or Rainbow Dash, the self proclaimed fastest flyer in Equestria and a Wonderbolts trainee. To find out we call upon their experts which will give our judges something to work with. Our judges are Darkheart, Trueheart, Nobleheart, Noheart, The Spirit, and The Star from the Care Bears universe as they will be unbiased as compared to someone from Equestria. Our first expert to take the stage is Soarin, Spitfire's second in command.
Spitfire
Type: Pegasus
Special Talent: Speed/Agility
Height: 4'5"
Weight: 500 lbs.
Has a different persona as a drill sergeant
Is fairly laid back when not on the job
Is not the fastest Wonderbolt(that honor goes to Fleetfoot)
Since both contestants are pegasi, Dr. Whooves will list pegasi abilities.
"A pegasi has a frail bone structure in comparison to other ponies, though still durable" the Doctor says. "Pegasi can fly extremely fast with their magic, not with their wings" he clarifies while showing a diagram of magic flow through a pegasus body. "The wings are for steering while the magic is for speed and weather manipulation" he finishes before climbing into his TARDIS and leaving the area. Now that that is clarified, welcome Soarin to the podium.
"Spitfire is over all the best of us which is why she's the captain, though I'm stronger and Fleetfoot is faster" Soarin says. "While weather control is not her specialty, like all Wonderbolts she leaves a trail of smoke which is an effective smoke screen" he says, demonstrating it to the judges. Darkheart scowls before snapping his fingers and ridding the room of smoke. "Thank you. Now, Spitfire carries wing blades into combat which can slice through dragon hide" Soarin says, proudly showing off the fine Diamond Dog craftsmanship. "Aside from that, Spitfire is a skilled flyer who can dodge most obstacles" he barely finishes before burying his face into a pie and tossing the notes to Fleetfoot.
"You're a pig Soarin, you know that? Any how, Spitfire can tire quickly compared to most pegasi and has a sense of honor that, while helpful in races, is detrimental if the enemy is a cheater" Fleetfoot finishes before dragging Soarin off the podium. Next up is our expert on Rainbow Dash, Firefly
Rainbow Dash
Type: Pegasus
Special Talent: Racing
Height: 4'3"
Weight: 380 lbs
Arrogant
Lazy
The Element of Loyalty
"Rainbow Dash is a prodigy at pegasus magic, allowing her to fly faster than any pegasus and create large air compressions, or as they are called "sonic-rainnukes" Firefly stated while showing a video of Rainbow Dash demolishing a barn. "Rainbow Dash also has excellent reflexes allowing her to quickly turn, though not as fast as Spitfire" Firefly stated while showing Rainbow's above average, though not great, performance on the obstacle course. "While not a positive trait, Rainbow Dash is not afraid of playing dirty to win" Firefly states, causing the Star, Nobleheart, and Trueheart to nod in understanding while making Darkheart, the Spirit, and Noheart to shrug in confusion.
"Come on, just because you're her mother doesn't mean you can keep only battle worthy traits" the Spirit calls out.
"Well, any mother would do the same" Firefly sniffs before continuing. "My daughter can get cocky at times and is quite reckless. You wouldn't believe how many times I had to bandage her" Firefly chuckles. Now that we have our information, let's hear the judge's opinion.
The Spirit: Rainbow Dash because she is after my own heart
Darkheart: Spitfire because I like fire
The Star: Spitfire for being more fair
Noheart: Rainbow Dash is cuter err....faster
Nobleheart: Rainbow Dash is just like Braveheart
Trueheart: Spitfire's fair play will be rewarded
Let the fight begin!
Spitfire walked onto the Wonderbolt's training field and saw a beautiful day. That came to an end when thunder crashed and the heavens doused the field in rain. Spitfire looked up to see Rainbow Dash pushing clouds with a malicious grin.
"What are you doing Dash?" Spitfire questioned as a storm was not scheduled today. Rainbow Dash gave her a look more cold than the rain.
"For years I've tried to become a Wonderbolt but you always said no. Well, I'm recreating the Shadowbolts and you need to be out of the picture for that!" Rainbow screamed before thunder cracked behind her.Spitfire put herself into a fighting position, seeing that Dash had lost her mind completely. The two pegasi slammed into each other at super sonic speeds before breaking off and slamming into each other again. To a unicorn or earth pony, they were nothing but flashes of color and sonic booms as they crashed into each other repeatedly. Rainbow broke off the stalemate with a blast of lightning, sending Spitfire to the floor. Spitfire spun in mid-air and righted herself, just barely avoiding being splattered. Spitfire quickly blasted off a smoke screen before zooming around. Dash tried to figure out which way was up or down, but with the smoke and heavy rain all around her, she couldn't see a thing.
"Behind you!" Spitfire yelled before slamming her hoof into the younger pegasus's nape. Rainbow gagged spinning uncontrollably towards the ground. She conjured up a gust of wind to stop her fall before glaring at Spitfire. Rainbow was hurt and while Spitfire was winded, she was in better shape than Rainbow Dash.
"What are you looking at?" Rainbow hissed menacingly.
":Let me fix you up. Let's stop fighting" Spitfire said honorably before helping Dash up. Her kindness was rewarded with a hoof to the face.
"Nice try! Your stupid honor is worthless" Rainbow laughed before charging Spitfire. Spitfire recovered quickly and rolled away from the blow before flying to the barracks where her greater agility could better help. Rainbow snarled and went into a sonic rain-nuke, blasting Spitfire away and breaking her leg, though in the process entering the barracks. Spitfire struggled through the pain to put on her wing blades before whistling at Rainbow Dash. Rainbow charged furiously at sonic rain-nuke speed while Spitfire charged with her wings stretched out. The two clashed before tumbling away from each other. They both stood up panting. They stared for a good five seconds when thump! Rainbow's top half fell off.
Rainbow coughed up blood while screeching "Why!?"
"Now you see why you weren't in the Wonderbolts kid" Spitfire said somberly before ending the cyan pegasus's misery with a quick stomp
Spitfire wins!
Dash's control over weather provided her with some terrain advantage, however she didn't think this through and hampered herself as well. Spitfire's agility saved her from Rainbow's weather mastery and her smoke trail allowed her to escape. Spitfire's honor got in the way of finishing Rainbow, allowing Rainbow to use cheating to hurt Spitfire. The sonic rain-nuke, while damaging, was roughed out by Spitfire due to her discipline. One the wing blades were on Spitfire's skill showed through, allowing her to finish Rainbow before exhaustion set in.
Firefly covered her mouth with horror at the brutality of the simulation.
"Oh my goodness, Dashie watches this? I'll have some words with her" the pink pegaus shrieked before leaving.
The winner is Spitfire
Wildlife Brawl
Who is Deadliest?
Basil, the Hydra, the Ursa Major, the Timberwolf, the Manticore, or the Cockatrice. To find out, we call upon Fluttershy to give us her input on Basil. As usual, are judges are Darkheart, Trueheart, Nobleheart, Noheart, the Spirit, and the Star, all the way from the Care Bears universe. Fluttershy now takes the stage to tell us about Basil
Basil
Type: Mountain Dragon
Special Talent: N/A but is very strong like all dragons
Height: 50'
Weight: 30 tons
Very protective of his loot
Much nicer than other dragons
Sensitive to verbal lashing
"Like all dragons, Basil has a powerful tail, claws, and jaws" Fluttershy murmurs, showing off a Dragon claw. "His hide is nearly impregnable to most forms of attack and he can blast scalding steam from his mouth" Fluttershy continued, only heard because of the amplification spell at the podium. "While he can fly, he's not a very agile flyer. He's also very sensitive" Fluttershy managed to finish before stage fright took its toll and she fainted.
"Ugh, the kindess from that made sick" Noheart groaned before pulling out a paper. "Next up is....Twilight Sparkle giving us information on the Hydra" he stated, creating a portal to suck Twilight onto the stage.
the Hydra
Type: Hydra
Special Talent: N/A but is as strong as it's size indicates
Height: 40'
Weight: 40 tons
His heads don't agree with each other
Rather stupid
Only has front legs
"Well, going from personal experience, the Hydra is nearly as strong as a dragon and much faster on the ground" Twilight stated, shuffling through a pile of notes at least 2 feet tall. "While it is rather stupid, it's many heads do give it plenty of plans for attack" Twilight said before the notes fell into a disorganized pile on the floor. "Excuse me, I have to go organize my notes" Twilight mumbled, blushing as she left. The Spirit rolled her eyes and teleported in their next expert, Trixie.
Ursa Major
Type: Ursa Major
Special Talent: N/A but very large
Height: 286' ft
Weight: 300 tons
Largest creature in Equestria
Not aggressive
Caring mother to Ursa Minor
"Why can't I say my name?" Trixie sputtered as soon as she found that her trademark tic was't working.
"I took it away. Your arrogance would've annoyed me" the Spirit replied bluntly before flipping her pages in an attempt to get the unicorn talking.
"Well, an Ursa Major is basically a bear the size of a small castle" Trixie said, quite miffed at her lack of flair. "Ummmm, that's about it" Trixie mumbled, realizing how little ponies knew of Ursa Majors. Darkheart facepalmed before turning Trixie into a frog and calling up their next expert.
"Scootaloo, you'll talk about your cousin, the chicken-python err, Cockatrice" Darkheart said, barely interested.
Cockatrice
Type: Cockatrice
Special Talent: N/A but very clever
Height: 16' 6" (the one seen by Fluttershy was a juvenile)
Weight: 200 lbs.
Smallest contender today
Known to respect authority
Enjoys scaring its victims
"Haha" Scootaloo grumbles as she realizes why she was picked to represent the chicken like monster. "The Cockatrice can turn ponies to stone by staring at them, though the effect can be reversed if the target is prepared and has enough will" Scootaloo said, shaking a little as she remembered how close she had been to that fate. "The Cockatrice can also do a sort of "hover jump" like me and strangle with its tail" Scootaloo said, blushing as she demonstrated the hover jump. "The Cockatrice has a sense of honor that makes it seem somewhat cowardly in some situations." Scootaloo finished before hover jumping off the stage.
"Poor foal" Trueheart murmured before using her Stare to conjure up Gilda.
"Its my turn already? Well, I'll tell you about Manticores" Gilda grunted, fairly angry over being told that she had lost to Garble.
Manticore
Type: Manticore
Special Talent: N/A but very fast
Height: 6'
Weight: 700 lbs.
Rather nice when not wounded
Easily angered
The first monster ever encountered by the Mane 6
"Manticores are about as strong as a bear but are much more agile due to their wings, though they can't do true flight" Gilda said, sniffing arrogantly at the flight comment. "Manticores have very powerful tails that can strike with incredible speed before injecting their prey with a dissolving hemotoxin" Gilda stated, showing gruesome images of stung ponies with gangrene and amputated limbs. "Manticores don't fight often though, so they don't have much experience" Gilda finished before flipping the judge's off for her loss and flying off.
"Charming" Nobleheart muttered before calling up their last expert, Applejack.
Timberwolf
Type: Timberwolf
Special Talent: N/A but basically a wood wolf
Height: 6' to 30' depending on fusion or not.
Weight: 30 lbs to 120 lbs depending on fusion or not
Hunt in packs
Can fuse into "King" form
Rather cowardly
"Dem Timberwolves are pretty hard to kill 'cause they can reform from wood. They can also fuse into a giant "King" timberwolf." Applejack drawled while pointing out videos of Timberwolves in captivity. "Timberwolves hunt in packs so for this battle, there'll be a pack of 4" Applejack continued. "Now, they get scared from loud noises and can be broken apart pretty easily. They also can't reform if killed as in King form" Applejack continued before finally sticking out her hoof expectantly. The Star sighed and tossed the cow-pony some bits for her time. Now that we have our info, we'll hear the judges' opinion.
The Star: I believe the Ursa Major's care for its offspring will let it win
Trueheart: I think the Timberwolves' teamwork will give it the edge
Noheart: The Cockatrice's "stoning" ability ensures a victory
Nobleheart: Basil's sensitivity will be rewarded
The Spirit: The Hydra looks the coolest
Darkheart: I want to go home so I abstain
Let the fight begin!
A pack of Timberwolves marauds the Everfree Forest, looking for a meal. One of them yips in pain as a Cockatrice leaps onto it and begins coiling around its neck. The other wolves are shocked for long enough that the coiled wolf has its neck snapped before they can act. Snarling, the lead Timberwolf slaps the Cockatrice away, making it hit a tree with a sickening thud. The Cockatrice lies still, blood dribbling from the back of its head. The dead sticks that made up the dead Timberwolf collected back into one being with a few sharp pops. His renewed lease on life was brutally ended as he was incinerated by a steam blast from Basil. The remaining Timberwolves bark angrily before attempting to harass the huge dragon with nips on the dragon's heels.
"Leave my territory!" Basil boomed before flicking away the Timberwolves. The Timberwolves squeaked in fear and began to run, fear gripping their hearts. Before Basil could incinerate them, he was tackled from behind by a huge beast. Basil screeched in shock as the Hydra began taking bites out of his back. One of the Hydra heads noticed the fleshy and unarmored wings on Basil's back and lunged for them. Unfortunately, another head had the same idea and they smacked into each other, staggering the Hydra and allowing Basil to buck it off. As the Hydra struggles to get up, Basil blasts his boiling vapor right onto the Hydra's spine, burning the creature and causing it to spasm in pain. The Hydra eventually got back up only to fall over seconds later.
"What?" Basil questioned before seeing the angry Manticore standing behind the Hydra. Its powerful poison had killed the multi-headed creature and it was now looking straight at Basil. Basil swiped his tail, expecting the creature to fall easily. The Manticore instead leaped over the tail and slashed through the scales on Basil's belly, drawing blood. Basil attempted a headbutt but the Manticore stabbed him in the wing with its tail. Basil roared in fury before disemboweling the troublesome creature and checking his wing. Already the venom had made it useless which made the next part of Basil's job much easier. He blasted it with boiling smoke, stopping the venom from spreading but taking his own wing off in the process. Basil fell to the ground, sobbing in pain as he waited for the wound to become numb. He wouldn't get that luxury though. A king Tinmberwolf walked through the trees, snarling savagely at the wounded dragon.
"Please leave" Basil grunted, attempting to intimidate the wooden creature. The king responded with a savage lunge to to the dragon's neck, ripping out his jugular and spraying the dragon's life-blood everywhere. As the king Timberwolf dug into the dying dragon's neck with gusto, there was a stir from a nearby cave. The king heard a noise and looked around for the source of it. He finally looked up just in time to see a huge paw crash down on him. The Ursa Major roared in defiance, satisfied that its territory had been cleared out. It then felt a small itch on its nose. It moved its eyes one last time before turning to stone. The Cockatrice now stood on a huge stone bear and squawked in delight at its new meal.
Cockatrice wins!
The Timberwolves' reforming ability cam in handy for getting the Cockatrice off of them when it foolishly attempted to frighten them. Unfortunately, the Timberwolves could not deal with a dragon's roar or steams and so fled. The Hydra's greater weight allowed it to pin Basil but its lack of coordination meant it was able to be bucked off. The lack of front legs on the Hydra made it hard for it to get up and easy for the Manticore to stab it in the neck with its stinger. The Manticore's lack of experience led it to charge Basil head on and while its agility helped it for awhile, eventually it was simply overpowered. However, it was a Pyrrhic Victory as the Manticore's venom was already flowing through Basil's veins. While many other animals would have simply taken the pain, Basil's greater intelligence meant that cauterizing the wound effectively paralyzed him for a while. In that while, the opportunistic Timberwolves fused into their king form and killed the wounded dragon. The Timberwolf king, while powerful, was no match for the foot of the an irritated Ursa Major. Unfortunately for the Ursa, the Cockatrice caught it by surprise and so turned it to stone.
"Yes! Chickens rule" Scootaloo squeals happily as she sees the test results
The winner is the Cockatrice
Nightmare Moon vs Queen Chrysalis
Who Is Deadliest?
Nightmare Moon, the genocidal maniac and alter ego of Luna, or Queen Chrysalis, queen of the changelings and parasite of love? To find out we call upon their experts which will give our judges something to work with. Our judges are Darkheart, Trueheart, Nobleheart, Noheart, The Spirit, and The Star from the Care Bears universe as they will be unbiased as compared to someone from Equestria. Our first expert to take the stage is Rosedust, Queen of the Flutterponies and closest relative to Queen Chrysalis with a brain.
Queen Chrysalis
Type: Changeling Queen
Special Talent: N/A but showed more intelligence and power than her drones.
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 900 lbs.
Only known Changeling Queen
Eats love through her fangs
Controls a hive of at least 4 score Changelings
As a Changeling Queen, Chrysalis boasts a power much greater than her subjects, about as strong as a false-alicorn like Cadence or Twilight" Rosedust stated before pulling out a small magic detector to show the comparative powers of Chrysalis and the false-alicorns. "Chrysalis is not the fastest flyer but her insect-like wings allow her great agility and she can turn on a dime" Rosedust said while zipping back and forth to show the power of the insect wings. "Chrysalis is quite tactical and plans things out meticulously" Rosedust continued before showing a reel of the events that happened at the Canterlot Wedding. "Like all Changelings, Chrysalis can gain power and drones from absorbing a pony's love" Rosedust said while showing a chart of the energy flow through a Changeling body. "Finally, Chrysalis can summon her swarm telepathetically" Rosedust said sadly as she showed her version that called Flutterponies. Sadness continued to fill the Queen's eyes as she remembered how Chrysalis was a near copy of her in power but so different in personality.
"Get on with it!" Spirit yelled, tossing a can at Rosedust and stopping her moment of contemplation. Rosedust gave the book her most venomous look(which in fact looked more like baby farting) before continuing.
"Chrysalis is incredibly arrogant however and loves fighting on even terms with foes" Rosedust said, demonstrating the now popular meme throughout Equestria.
"Chrysalis is also quite cruel and will toy with enemies far too long" Rosedust finished, flapping her butterfly wings daintily as she flew off.
"Ugh, how sappy. She was almost as bad as the Care Bears" Noheart snarled, earning him glares from Trueheart, Nobleheart, and the Star, before snapping his fingers to let the Nightmare provide it's input.
"Contestants can't give info about themselves!" Trueheart growled angrily.
"Technically, the Nightmare is only half of the contestant" Noheart chuckled as the Nightmare began.
Nightmare Moon
Type: Super Alicorn
Special Talent: Moving the Moon and controlling the night
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 1,000 lbs
Genocidal
A fusion of the Nightmare and Luna
The first villain to have tasted the power of the new Element Bearers.
"I wa-I mean, we were slightly more powerful than Celestia" the cloud of smoke whispered whilst flipping through Celestia's autobiography, "So You Want to Be a Trolling Princess?". "Look, just go through your computer files, we had the same powers as Luna, just enhanced." the Nightmare spat angrily as it was forced to talk.
"So you want to have this as a copy of Luna's bio?" Trueheart questioned to the evil spirit.
"Yes" the Nightmare growled before reading off the list Trueheart had printed. "Nightmare Moon is also a master at transfiguration and can change herself and other objects with ease" she says, skipping over an entire page of magical calculations. "Nightmare Moon can also fly at an average speed" Nightmare says with little emotion, completely bored at the flairless statistics. The Nightmare flips through several pages of numbers and calculations before finally getting to the summary. "Aha! We were very arrogant, lazy, and all-around easy to fool?" Nightmare growled, blasting the paper to ashes before flying out in a huff.
Now that we have our information, let's hear the judge's opinion.
The Spirit: I'm pretty sure that Chrysalis's cruelty will let her win
Darkheart: Chrysalis looks cooler
Noheart: Chrysalis is smarter
Trueheart: Nightmare Moon is slightly nicer
Nobleheart: Nightmare Moon's power assures victory
The Star: Nightmare Moon is a goddess while Chrysalis is an overgrown bug
Let the fight begin!
Nightmare Moon laughed insanely at the frightened ponies below her. She had defeated Celestia with a sneak attack and was now going to rule over the ponies in her stead.
"The night will las-" Nightmare Moon began before getting sent flying by a green blast of energy. "Who dares?!" Nightmare Moon roared as she picked herself out of the rubble her crash had caused.
"The ponies are mine, demon. You will fall before me" Chrysalis grinned, licking her lips before charging forward and attempting to stab the black alicorn. Nightmare Moon dodged to the left before turning around and back-hoofing the Changeling, sending her flying into a house. Chrysalis was just barely able to use her wings to roll with the impact.
"You think you have even a tenth of my strength?" the Dark Monarch mocked, lightning crashing behind her. Her only answer was a green blast to the face.
"I can try" Chrysalis grinned as the smoke cleared. Her grin was replaced with horror as she saw that Nightmare Moon's head had barely flinched back.
"Pitiful." Nightmare moon growled before firing her own blast at Chrysalis. Chrysalis let out a screech before shooting off her own beam. The two beams collided with Chrysalis's barely providing any resistance to the black alicorn's. Nightmare Moon scowled in annoyance as a swarm of Changelings descended to help their queen in the beam struggle. Nightmare Moon chuckled, it didn't matter how many bugs there were, all would die. Nightmare Moon's mental gloating was interrupted when a green blast hit her in the eye, causing the black pony to scream in agony. One Changeling had flanked the black alicorn and fired a blast while she was distracted. While Nightmare Moon was distracted, Chrysalis and her swarm gave one last push, engulfing Nightmare Moon's beam and winning the struggle. Chrysalis panted as a smile graced her face.
"We did it" Chrysalis giggled, her swarm tittering along with her. Any joy she may have felt was destroyed when the rubble Nightmare Moon was standing in exploded.
"I'LL STRIP THE FLESH OFF YOUR BONES BEFORE SENDING YOUR REMAINS TO TARTARUS!!" the alicorn screamed as huge wave of energy shout from every pore in her body. It was all Chrysalis could do to put up shield before the blast reached her. Her entire swarm was vaporized and Chrysalis herself was sent flying back into the town hall. "I should've used my full strength from the start" Nightmare Moon growled, ignoring the minor cuts on her body as she stomped over to Chrysalis's broken body. "Any last words, worm?" Nightmare Moon chuckled as she put a hoof on the Changeling's neck. The queen mumbled something unintelligible while her horn sputtered. "What was that?" Nightmare Moon giggled as she lowered herself to the Changeling's level.
"Watch your eyes" Chrysalis grunted before scooping up some rubble and tossing it into Nightmare Moon's eyes. The black alicorn screamed in fury and agony as the small particles of concrete and dirt scratched her eyes. While the Dark Monarch was distracted, Chrysalis leaped for her only chance, a cowering couple. The Changeling set upon them savagely and drained their love quickly and brutally. Chrysalis whipped around just in time to see Nightmare Moon rub the sand out of her eyes.
"YOU INSECTOID BITCH!!" Nightmare Moon screamed before charging with her horn down.
"I PREFER EQUINE!" Chrysalis screamed as she returned the gesture. Chrysalis was fast, but Nightmare Moon was faster. Nightmare Moon slashed her horn through Chrysalis like a hot knife through butter. For some reason, the black alicorn felt a pang of regret in her chest. Wait, that wasn't a pang, Nightmare Moon looked down in horror at the horn that was stuck through her midsection.
"H-h-how?" Nightmare Moon managed to mumble before coughing up blood.
"Did you think I would challenge your power directly? I used a simple illusion spell, an innate changeling ability, to distract you before jamming my horn into you." Chrysalis laughed as her horn started to glow, making the wound even more painful. "I'm going to blow my magic load now....no homo" Chrysalis sputtered, realizing her innuendo too late. Chrysalis's horn heated up before blasting off a huge beam, bursting through Nightmare Moon's breast and tearing open Nightmare Moon's front. Chrysalis tossed away the limp corpse before summoning the now converted couple she had drained. She'd need helpers to make a new hive.
Chrysalis wins!
Chrysalis had a huge blunder right from the beginning, she and her swarm were disguised and could've sneak attacked and killed Nightmare Moon fairly easily. However, Chrysalis's arrogance and blood-lust stopped her from getting a quick kill. Once it was one on one, Nightmare Moon's advantage becomes clear and while Chrysalis's agility helps keep her from dying, it's not enough. However, Chrysalis's pride breaks and she call in her swarm for help which brings up a blunder Nightmare Moon made. Nightmare Moon, being quite lazy, was restricting herself power-wise so as to conserve energy. This laziness nearly gets the black alicorn killed by Chrysalis's beam. Once Nightmare Moon was at full power though, Chrysalis and her swarm didn't stand a chance. Or at least they wouldn't have if Nightmare Moon hadn't gotten cocky and allowed Chrysalis to use the rubble as a distraction. Chrysalis's love drain saved her bacon here as it allowed her to heal from her wounds and get back into the game with more power. From there, it was just a matter of tricking Nightmare Moon into falling for an illusion.
"Huh, I should fuse with Chrysalis" the Nightmare murmurs as it looks at the results.
The winner is Queen Chrysalis
Season 1 Finale
Who Is Deadliest?
Twilight Sparkle, the newest of the Equestria princesses and Element of Magic, or Queen Elsa, Queen of Arrendale and the "Snow Queen". To find out we call upon their experts which will give our judges something to work with. Our judges are Darkheart, Trueheart, Nobleheart, Noheart, The Spirit, and The Star from the Care Bears universe as they will be unbiased as compared to someone from Equestria or Arrendale. Our first expert to take the stage is Princess Anna, Elsa's sister and rescuer of Arrendale.
Queen Elsa
Type: Human
Special Talent: Creating and manipulating ice
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 130 lbs.
Born with icy powers
Socially regressed
Nearly killed by treacherous prince
"Hey" Anna said, looking happily at the colorful judges. "You are real, right?" the princess questioned before lightning crashed.
"Enough! Yes, they are real. I've had enough of kids asking that" Dark-Heart roared, his red aura flaring. Anna gave him a glare before beginning.
"My sister was born with the ability to manipulate snow and ice as a response to her emotions" Anna says, still giving the bratty demon the stink eye.
"So she's like Professor Coldheart" Dark-Heart said, ignoring the stink eye. A quick elbow to the midsection from from True-Heart changed his tune. "Power wise, not personality wise of course" Dark-Heart excused non-convincingly. "Except for the emotion based power" Dark-Heart clarified, much more convincingly this time.
"Anyway, she can create Snowlems and snow storms along with other icy...stuff" Anna said, struggling for a word to fill in the last slot. "Her ice magic also slowly freezes you if it hits a living creature, I should know" Anna said, shuddering at the memory. Noble-Heart politely applauded before No-Heart cut in.
"Any weaknesses?" the dark creature asked, smoothing down his hood.
"Well, she kind of locked me out for 17 years, so she has problems with emotion. Oh, and she isn't exactly a fighter and is a bit afraid of her power" Anna managed to get out before a flash of golden light showed up. Celestia stepped out of the teleportation spell, looking apologetic.
"Sorry about the interruption" the alabaster pony said, shaking off some dust acquired in the "port". "I really wanted to hear about what seems to be a lovely ruler and couldn't wait my turn" the alicorn stated, kicking her hooves slightly.
"It's alright, I was finished anyway. Maybe you could come with me to to talk to her?" Anna said, a hopeful expression upon her face.
"I'd love t-" Celestia started before being cut off by a loud bang!
"Enough of this gooey sentimentalness, get to your speech" Spirit screeches, looking sick at the amount of caring. Celestia and Anna both walked off, making Spirit regret her tone. "Uhhhh, crap, we just lost our experts" the book mumbled, turning red in embarrassment.
"I might come back, if you apologize" Celestia said, turning back. No-Heart and Dark-Heart chuckled as their partner in crime turned green while spitting out the words.
"I-i-i'm s-sorry" the Spirit gagged out, looking greener than usual. Celestia nodded with satisfaction and began her speech.
Twilight Sparkle
Type: False Alicorn
Special Talent: Magic, literally, all magic
Height: 4'6"
Weight: 515 lbs.
The newest Equestrian Princess
Element of Magic
Calculating and intelligent
"My student is well versed in nearly all magic and is very good at it" Celestia says while showing a reel of Twilight's achievements. "Her favorite spells are teleportation, levitation, and concussive bolts" Celestia says, again showing the reel of achievements, though focusing on those spells. "Twilight is also very analytical and smart" Celestia continues, pulling out a picture of Twilight's library. "Twilight's greatest strength however, is her magic bursts" Celestia says, her face getting serious. "When Twilight enters a magic burst, her power increases hugely, though she acts on instinct at this point and has no skill" Celestia states, demonstrating a tree being sent flying by an angered Twilight. "She can also fly, though not very well" Celestia adds.
"Wow, any weaknesses?" the Star says, his face open in shock.
"Well, Twilight is very nervous and can overreact rather often" Celestia says, blushing as she remembered the "Smarty Pants" incident. "She can also be slow to act due to being over analytical" Celestia finishes before walking off stage. Now that we have our information, let's hear what the judges think.
Dark-Heart: Twilight shows off less strength, Elsa wins
No-Heart: Intelligence trumps power, Twilight wins
The Spirit: Twilight has attacked the mind and has shown villain tendencies, Elsa turned into a hero too quickly. Twilight is my vote
True-Heart: Elsa has shown nobleness and confidence in love, love is the strongest force
Noble-Heart: Twilight is of my species, I am biased
The Star: Elsa is a noble Queen while Twilight is a neurotic princess
Let the fight begin!
Elsa walked about the mountains, frowning with concern. There had been a disturbance of sorts in the mountains, some purple flash that scared the town's people. The air around Elsa grew cold as her worry grew, getting a sensation that she wasn't the only one with magic.
Twilight hissed in pain as the teleportations spell died around her. She had been working with a spell to try and find the land of the Sasquatch but she had landed in the boonies instead. The purple alicorn then saw a bipedal figure walking towards her.
"N-no" Twilight sputtered, fear clutching her heart. Sasquatch were supposed to be extinct, this must be a demon! "Get away!" Twilight screamed, firing off a barrage of purple blasts. Elsa gasped in shock before flicking up her hand, creating an icy barrier. Elsa looked at the foaming creature with anger and called up a Snowlem to fight.
"Attack" Elsa said, pointing at the pony. The Snowlem roared and charged Twilight. Twilight began thinking of a way to defeat it as she flew up. Perhaps a time reverse spell or parasprite spell? Her thoughts were interrupted as the Snowlem slapped her to the ground. Twilight's eyes flashed white and she shot a purple beam at the monster. In a flash of smoke, the Snowlem was a small cookie on the ground.
"Transfiguration" Twilight smirked before teleporting behind Elsa and tackling the Queen. Elsa put up some icy armor to protect her from the strikes and blew Twilight away with a gust of icy wind. The alicorn crashed against a boulder, groaning in pain.
"You will not hurt my kingdom" Elsa snarled as she fired a barrage of icicles. Twilight's horn glowed and she teleported behind the boulder.
"I will crush Tartarus" Twilight grunted as she lifted the boulder with her magic, tossing it at Elsa. Elsa panicked and froze the boulder, causing it to shatter and cut her as bit of ice flew by. Elsa's magic exploded outward, responding to her fear and causing bits of icy magic to fly towards Twilight. Twilight winced as a small ice shot hit her chest but ignored the pain.
"Stop" Elsa pleaded, feeling her magic begin to rage. Twilight responded by flashing her eyes green and billowing purple smoke out her horn. The alicorn then fired at the ground, smirking as dark crystals began to shoot up, caging Elsa.
"I'll finish you, like all demons" Twilight panted as she powered up a gem finding spell. Seconds later, diamonds had been mashed together in front of her to make a sword. Elsa began remembering how similar Twilight looked to Hans, only this time, Anna wasn't here. "DIE!" Twilight roared, swinging down with her jewel sword. That was the last straw.
"NO MORE!" Elsa screamed, blocking the sword with an extension of ice from her arm. Twilight's eyes widened in horror as her sword was pushed back. A scream of exertion later, Elsa pushed forward and the sword snapped in half like a twig. "YOU WILL NEVER HURT ANYONE AGAIN" Elsa howled, blasting Twilight with powerful wind that rooted the alicorn to the ground. Elsa created a fist of ice and smashed it onto Twilight, driving the alicorn into the ground. Just as Elsa was about to repeat the treatment, Twilight snapped.
"AHHHHHHHH!" Twilight screeched, her eyes turning white and her body covering in magic as she entered a burst. Twilight turned the ice fist into dandelions and then blasted Elsa with a concussive blast, knocking the queen to the ground. Twilight followed up with an age spell, briefly warping Elsa's age to throw her off-balance. Elsa's innate magic overcame the age spell however and she got to her feet. Both combatants glared before charging at each other. Elsa slammed a block of ice into Twilight's face, punished moments later with a paralyzing spell to her left arm. Elsa blasted Twilight with frigid air, Twilight blasted back hot air. Suddenly, Twilight broke off the struggle, her magic burst spent and her magic waning from strain.
"Goodbye" Elsa said, lifting up a huge icicle to impale the alicorn. Twilight blasted it with her magic, attempting to stall it. She was failing as the icicle pushed forward. Suddenly, Twilight remembered her friends' faces as she disappeared. Not again. Twilight drew from one last reserve, blasting forward all of her magic and life-force in an instant. The wave of magical energy flew forward, vaporizing Elsa without a sound. In the middle of a crater, there was the icy statue of Twilight, having succumbed to Elsa's power. Both royals had had one last thought: I'm sorry.
It's a tie!
Twilight's paranoid led to her attacking blindly, creating a foe where she could have had an ally. Twilight's lack of flight ability as well as inability to think fast got her smacked by the Snowlem. Elsa, meanwhile suffers from being rusty and unable to use her powers as effectively as possible. Twilight does eventually get her wits and uses her arsenal of odd abilities to defeat the Snowlem. Twilight's ability to teleport was useful to flank Elsa but Elsa was shown to have power spike in stressful situations, giving her ice armor and knocking Twilight off. As before, Twilight's teleporting came in handy for evading attacks and getting a better position. Twilight intelligence led to using the boulder as a weapon, a tactic that caused Elsa to panic and thus, not use her powers correctly. Elsa's confusion did however manage to catch Twilight off-guard with a bit of ice magic to the heart. Twilight's magic knowledge again helps her as she traps Elsa with dark magic. Unfortunately, the cornered rat will bite the cat and Elsa's magic explodes, launching her into a state of power that Twilight isn't even close to. Again though, while Elsa has the power to finish Twilight, she lacks the skill to use them correctly and Twilight can buy enough time to let her magic burst. During burst mode, Twilight is still inferior to Elsa but she has enough power to keep up, though Twilight's greater skill also keeps her in the game. Unfortunately, Twilight's burst ends too soon and puts her at near death. Twilight draws on one last reserve, magic itself. The burst kills Elsa but also drains all of Twilight's magic. allowing Elsa's ice magic from earlier to take hold and freeze Twilight, killing the alicorn.
The judges gaps in shock at the fight.
"Now that, was cool" Dark-Heart says, childish glee across his face. Meanwhile, Celestia was following Anna through a portal to Arrendale.
Both Elsa and Twilight win.
