Three jabs glanced off of Sunset’s guard, fast enough that the young fighter found herself incapable of trapping them in any kind of useful reverse. “Great, now they give me a fighter,” Sunset thought, shifting her weight to her back foot, and swaying away from her opponent as a nasty hook sailed in front of her. The fighter had been the clear youngest from Kaivus’ group of obvious alphas in the gym, named simply Striker if one were to believe the fight card and the young fighter was earning his name as from the start of the round he launched blow after powerful blow at Sunset. At first Sunset had figured him a fool, knowing that he was some manner of heavy weight, and that despite their mismatch that he would quickly gas himself and be left defenseless to a quick knockout.

Striker seemed like some kind of impossible human dynamo, however, as he threw another four shots at Sunset, his massive fists in a jab, cross, hook and finally an attempt at an uppercut, obviously hoping the slight subversion would lead to a chin shattering uppercut. This strike was not to be, as Sunset’s torso suddenly contorted, twisting at the waist as the uppercut sailed past her and allowed Sunset to wedge her elbow squarely in Striker’s ribs. What Luna had often called a stunner shot landed with more than enough force to take Striker’s breath away, and like an uncoiling snake Sunset spun around him, and locked a punishing choke in on the massive man.

Now Striker knew he was in trouble, the left side of his body was alight with pain and now his vacated lungs struggling to catch any air. More than that, every drop of blood his heart was desperately pounding to his brain was stolen by Sunset’s choke. He struggled as his vision went blurry. He had seconds to outpower the choke, and with one massive wrenching move he nearly managed to flip Sunset over his head, effectively breaking her hold, and very nearly his neck.

Many fighters might have backed away after having felt their feet leave the ground, but Sunset chose instead to load all her weight on her back foot, anticipating her opponent’s turn to meet her. It came just as she predicted, and his shocked eyes were all that she needed to know he was open. Her right foot snapped forward, slamming into the larger fighter’s thigh as she quite literally stepped on his nerves, and unloaded her left knee into his chin.

The crowd gasped as Sunset actually flipped backwards and landed facing her still standing opponent as she loaded up for a second assault. Striker could taste his own blood, his ribs ached, his chin was sending signals to his brain to quit, and his leg was sure to give out in one step. He’d faced this punishment before, all the best students had, as Tirek was as merciless a teacher as his reputation suggested. Above the pain, beyond the desire to pass out Striker could feel one sensation resonating through his adrenal clouded mind. Fear, he was afraid of the small mass of muscle and fury loading up to pummel him again.

His head slowly lowered itself, blood trailing down his chin as he locked eyes with Sunset. Her gaze was as dead and hatefully empty as some eldritch beast, and despite his inability to grasp the concept of true horror, Striker was able to realize one thing. He was not going to see tomorrow morning outside of a hospital if he kept going. So with a single step, and a pitiful grunt, Striker fell to the mat, and played dead for all he was worth. The count of the referee rang in his ears as he lay perfectly still, praying for only the second time in his life that his opponent wouldn’t assault him while he was down.

Sunset watched her opponents unmoving form, his even breathing giving away the fact that he was acting, and somewhere beneath the surface she felt rage. She had wanted to continue her assault, wanted to truly beat this young man so badly that he truly wasn’t able to stand back up. Still she remained steady, knowing on the surface that she had won this fight with far less strikes than were necessary. Ten slow counts ticked by, and by eight Sunset had met the gaze of Kaivus. His eyes steeled as he took in his opponent, having now studied her through four fights and making the stunning realization that he wouldn’t be able to dominate a simple woman in the ring. She was fast, and stronger than any person ought to look, but more than that her crisp technique was perfect.

The official raised her hand in victory, and as she turned to return to those three fey women she called lovers Kaivus shuddered, not sure if he felt fear as Striker had, or anticipation. “Yo Kai, you ok man?” a slinky black belt nicknamed Snake asked him.

“Yes, I’m better than I think I’ve ever been,” Kaivus said, his tone carrying an air of finality as he turned and headed into the locker room, ready to perform whatever pre-fight ritual that he took in away from his comrades.
*****************************************

Sunset smiled softly at her three grinning lovers, Sonata having ducked away from the food truck to take in the last of Sunset’s fight. “How’d it look?” Sunset asked confidently, getting the spider-like grin from Adagio to which she had become so accustomed.

“Like a magnificent murderer in the midst of a graceful and terrifying ballet, perhaps the most wonderful thing I’ve seen in decades,” Adagio groaned, her voice tinged with erotic honey as she embraced her fiery haired lover. Sonata and Aria simply nodded in pleased agreement as they led their champion back to a rather concerned looking cheer group. Sure AJ had seen major fights with her brother, and Rarity had been made to watch the same, but none of them had ever seen Sunset dish out a proper beating. All looked slightly horrified, with one single exception.

“Most skilled, Sunset Shimmer,” came Celestia’s dulcet tones, bringing the horrified gazes to her instead of Sunset. “I have not seen quite such a mixture of pure fear tactics and perfect strikes since King Sombra was defeated over a millenia ago by my sister,” Celestia praised, her small smile hiding a grim fascination.

“Oh please,” Adagio said with a tone of utter dismissal. “You two sisters may have seen the son of the mad king slain, but I assure you that her skill is only matched by the original Mad King Obsidran. Aside from being a master of the magical dark arts, his prowess with a scythe plunged the area around your Crystal Empire into that eternal winter. Watching a draconic warrior slay the summer itself is an experience one had to have seen to believe,” Adagio’s tone remained passive as she snuggled into Sunset.

“I would normally chide anypon- err anyone that dared challenge my knowledge of history, but I must say I’m rather impressed by your insight on an event that was only chronicled in lore by Starswil himself,” Celestia said, her eyes remaining calm as ever, but an obvious smile creeping across her lips gave away her curiosity to anyone not stunned by the entire exchange. “Perhaps I could commision you for a written account of Obsidran’s transgressions against the seasons? My coffers may not transfer perfectly in this world, but my library aches for more depth in Equestria’s ancient history,” Celestia almost sounded too much like a certain purple alicorn, and Sunset was forced to chuckle at her former instructor’s fervor for knowledge.

“I could be convinced, perspective has granted my old mind a desire to ensure the stories I hold be propagated… For a price of course,” Adagio said, her gleaming crimson eyes meeting Celestia’s in a way that made the solar ruler just a touch more uncomfortable than she’d like to admit.

“Perhaps we can discuss payment after Sunset’s soundly trounced that young drake?” Celestia offered, her calm demeanor not fully betraying her relative discomfort toward the predatory siren’s gaze. Few rulers in Equestria ever had the courage to face down the fabled three sisters, and even fewer lived to tell the tale. Celesita could see exactly why now that they were upon her, even without magic Adagio had a certain danger to her.

“You two nerds do nerd stuff while we celebrate, for now Sunset you kicked ass, and group of pansies you better get some barf bags, cause I’m guessing we haven’t seen shit yet,” Aria said, her eyes, taking the road all too often travelled, rolling to the side. All present laughed either heartily or uncomfortably as a battered Rainbow Dash strode back to join them. Her lip was bloodied, and she had a very slight limp, but judging by the medics crowded around where she was just fighting told a much worse story for her opponent.

“Sup Sunny, you have a good fight?” Dash asked, raising an arm to accept snuggles from her favorite pink haired person in all the world.

“Guy wimped out after I kneed him in the face,” Sunset said flatly earning a chuckle from all present and sick enough to understand.

“You may wanna think about that sentence and try to figure out why he was so scared, Sunny Bunny,” Sonata giggled, stepping behind the flame haired fighter and massaging her shoulders as a coach might a prize fighter between rounds.

“Well I was impressed to say the least,” came a familiar voice from behind Sunset as her master strode forward with two bottles of water and towels for her final round qualifiers. “You two have performed most admirably, and I’ll be incredibly happy to call this tournament a victory regardless of the outcome,” Luna continued, signaling for all her fighters, save the still competing Bulk Biceps, to gather around her. “You have all competed with incredible ferocity today, and should you be finished for the day I will only look upon you as the admirable fighters you have proven yourself to be, but I urge you to carry the fire of The Canterlot University Iron Hooves into the final, and win!” Luna’s voice flourished with a finish causing all students present to cheer.

“Like you have to tell us twice,” Sunset said calmly, flexing her arm and earning a share of lusty gazes from her lovers. Luna simply rolled her eyes at the comical display of the Dazzlings and pointed to the center of the dojo. There Kaivus was now standing, shifting his weight rapidly from foot to foot in final preparation for what would be the final round. Sunset gave a simple nod, and began the walk across the gym to her final round and the man that would obviously make up her greatest challenge of the day.

“Ready for an ass kicking little girl?” Kaivus breathed, just loud enough that Sunset could hear as she began her warm up.

Sunset stood to her full height, still only at the massive fighter’s pectorals, and smiled darkly at her would-be nemesis. “I’ve lifted the sun, set whole oceans ablaze, been in two places at once, and channelled demonic power you can’t imagine, Kaivus,” Sunset growled, balling her hands into tight fists as she came chest to chest with the confused looking man. “I’m going to break you in half, and throw you into the wind,” Sunset’s voice was almost singsong, the dissonance of her words and tone causing Kaivus to cringe slightly before taking his second step back of the day.

“Bring it,” Kaivus spat, moving back to his corner and setting into a deep fighting stance. Sunset assumed her own stance and took a deep breath.

“Fighters prepare yourself, and BEGIN!” the official yelled, dropping his hand and setting off an eruption of forward momentum from both fighters. They met in a conflagration of limbs, Sunset launching three jabs at lightning speed as Kaivus met each with an impressive block before throwing his own technically perfect cross, aiming straight at Sunset’s head.

Sunset watched the punch coming, again in near slow motion, and as the knuckle guard of Kaivus’ gloves came within a breath of her Sunset snapped to the side, and caught the outstretched arm of the monstrous fighter between both of hers. Kaivus knew this technique like an old lover, the force of his blow used against him as Sunset leveraged a mighty hip toss. The discrepancy this time was Kaivus’ massive form twirled through the air and landed perfectly on his feet.

Sunset was forced to abandon her grip as Kaivus rolled backwards in an attempt to reverse the throw. Kaivus’ body now a full three feet from Sunset, coiled and threw his shoulder forward in an almighty tackle. Though he now moved at almost inhuman speed, Sunset still saw him barely moving above walking speed. Though he could little see it Kaivus quickly became aware his opponent disappeared, but his myriad bouts with Boogie Nights and Grapple Groundpounder taught him better than to stop charging. Rather he took his body lower, readying himself to collide with a sweeping figure, only to meet- “Floor!?” Kaivus yelled, as he suddenly became aware of a pressure on his exposed spine.

The crowd had gasped in unison as Sunset rocketed in the air, clearing Kaivus by a wide margin, and come stomping down on the prone warrior. Kaivus could only wrench around in pain as Sunset collapsed to her knees, and rolled over top of him. Kaivus scrambled to his feet, seeing only red as Sunset stood waiting to meet him. Her eyes shone with confidence that brought Kaivus’ blood to a boil. Now it was on.

Kaivus ran forward, throwing out punches at incredible speed, and even Sunset found herself actually needing to react to the fighter’s ferocity as she ducked and weaved around each massive blow. Her breath left her as Kaivus slammed his massive knee into Sunset’s side, the close reaching blow making Sunset’s stomach do cartwheels with truck like force. Kaivus smiled nastily as he went completely against his training and cocked a massive fist, throwing the blow at Sunset’s guarded head, knowing he had more than enough power to blow right through.

The fighters watching knew well Kaivus signature stunning strikes mixed with slow hammering blows. They had felt the sudden slam of his fist crashing through their guard, and had all seen it numerous times. Never before had the students seen any material, wood, concrete, and especially flesh fully stop one of Kaivus powerful rights. Yet there she stood, Sunset holding Kaivus fist in her hand, wearing a look of sheer contempt. “That hurt, dick,” Sunset spat, causing a stunned Kaivus to blink, and giving her an opening to throw a massive elbow, slamming into Kaivus’ jaw, and wrenching his neck to the side.

Sunset could feel the loss of motion in her leg affecting her, but as she rained strike after strike on Kaivus’ head she drove through the pain. Her elbows felt like they were being forced to fight a tree, but she struck on. Her fists ached through the gloved, but she pressed on, and after a full series of seven decapitating blows Sunset coiled her bad leg, and launched a powerful side kick, her legs almost in the splits as she shattered through Kaivus’ chin.

Kaivus felt cold, his body felt almost impossibly heavy, and felt almost peaceful on the mat. The dulcet lullaby of the nice man counting sheep, currently up to five, pulling him deeper into dreamland. Then the dots connected, and at the count of six a battered Kaivus sprung up, shaking his aching head and looking at Sunset Shimmer. Her cocky demeanor was gone, indeed all traces of emotion had washed away from Sunset’s face, only an unmolested serenity rest upon the small fighter’s face. He had known that look before, having seen it in the mirror only a time or two during particularly challenging bouts. For the first time since earning his place at the dojo Kaivus felt something, a mixture of two feelings he forgot fighting could bring: that amazing twinge of excitement and fear.

Sunset exploded forward, Kaivus almost having lost track of her she moved so quickly. There the two fighters met again, Sunset peppering Kaivus’ guard with blows, Kaivus throwing the occasional power strike in retaliation. Knees met, kicks were checked, and and the five-minute mark came the official forced both fighters back to their corners. Sunset gasped for breath as she felt each bruise come to the surface.

Despite her immense degree of physical conditioning, her training in hardening the entire day’s worth of fighting and this most intense match had left her feeling winded. “That was incredible,” Adagio whispered, massaging Sunset’s shoulders as Aria hydrated and Sonata tied Sunset’s laces. Despite the situation Sunset had to smile, not every great fighter could have three gorgeous women fawning over them between matches. “Now Sunset I watched that dump truck of a man, he looks almost perfect from a technical standpoint, but if you simply open him up he seems to take abuse rather than dodge it. Use that and win!” Adagio growled into Sunset’s ear, backing off as the break time wound down.

Kaivus was having a considerably less loving time, his mind quieting the thundering roars of Tirek as he focused on exactly what he could have read from Sunset Shimmer. She was an almost impossibly versatile fighter, her groundwork responded to his, her strikes baited him into openings, and he’d never admit it, but she was stronger pound for pound. Every move he could consider opening with her seemed to leave him open, and where that worked on even the best fighters from the dojo, somehow he could feel that she would abuse his openings. Still as the minute drained away, Kaivus found his resolve steeled, he knew in his mind if he could just land one firm assault he could win.

Sunset strode wordlessly back onto the mat, sinking into her fighting stance as Kaivus did the same. His stance had changed, higher and considerably more aggressive, but Sunset stayed true to her original form. As the official’s hand dropped and the match began anew both fighters met in a single step, Sunset halting Kaivus’ advance with an unexpected kick to his midsection. Kaivus felt his wind partially leave, but in an almost herculean feat pushed through, and began a faster assault than he’d launched in the first round.

Sunset could scarcely believe the sheer speed and ferocity Kaivus was using, raining strike after strike at her guard, obviously trying to overpower her. Deft as she was Kaivus’ perfect technique and burst of speed saw her taking jarring blows despite her guard. Sunset finally took a step back, drawing a sharp breath in as Kaivus leaned back. This was her signal, and as he pumped a massive stomping kick forward, Sunset dropped.

Kaivus knew his mistake immediately, his size and stunning blows combined with perfect technique had seemed impossible early on, and they had been. As he realized he hadn’t taken a breath in far too long he felt his kick miss, and the massive force of Sunset’s sweep collide with his ankle. He had been taught so long to stand like the mountain he was, but now he felt himself crumble, his weight tossed like a ragdoll, and worst of all he’d lost his opponent.

Sunset showed no emotion as she spun into a standing position. She looked unfeeling as she took a lightning fast step, and as Kaivus showed his face by rolling over, for but a second he saw cool malice cross Sunset’s eyes. Then he saw only her shoe, crashing down on his head. The crowd nearly screamed as Sunset stomped on Kaivus’ head, the mat thudding sickeningly as Kaivus’ nose broke under Sunset’s boot. The fight turned still more brutal as Sunset collapsed down on him, readying a blow to finish him off, and receiving a massive haymaker to her head for her efforts.

It took a true ass kicking, but Kaivus found his opening, his tree like arm ramming into Sunset’s head like a freight train. The offensive became Kaivus’ as he rolled with the force of the hit, his knees pinning Sunset as another blow fell against her head. Kaivus knew he couldn’t keep up the impossibly powerful blows, but even the next strike obviously rattled Sunset Shimmer. He knew he had her as three blows became six, and as he reared back for number seven he smiled. He’d won.

Sudden as a lightning strike Kaivus felt the back of his head split open, and he had to question exactly who had clubbed him. Forced now to look down Kaivus saw Sunset, her eyes blacked, cheeks swollen, and nose bleeding, but that same cold fury lit in her dead eyes. Despite his weight advantage Kaivus found himself rolled over, his opponent spinning dextrously over him, and punting his head again as she stepped back. Kaivus knew the pain was intense, as he found himself standing shakily to his feet. His lungs were spent, his head more or less cracked, and as he stepped back from Sunset he could only stare her down.

Sunset, despite playing the mental game, felt like she’d been hit by a truck. The room was spinning almost as badly as when Luna would use her as a punching bag in a spar. Still she’d fought through this pain, and by the flaws in his current stance she knew Kaivus hadn’t. Stepping forward with lightning quickness Sunset overtook Kaivus, tossing a quick feint before hooking over his guard and knocking Kaivus’ blood in a spray across the mat. Kaivus stumbled back, the world now spinning around him as Sunset set upon him again.

A knee slamming into his midsection was Kaivus’ only reward for his retreat, the power of the strike seemed almost lethal to Kaivus given his current agony. It didn’t end there as Sunset demonstrated her incredible vertical leap once more. This time she stomped with both feet, leaping almost comedically onto Kaivus’ clavicles and sending pain all through Kiavus’ body. As she finished Sunset literally walked down Kaivus back, stomping his kidneys as she went, and landing with a perfect turn. “And that,” Sunset said through her mouth guard, “is called ‘The Sun Setting Over The Mountain’!”

Kaivus spun, his arms dropped involuntarily at his sides. His body was lead, his arms completely disabled, and there were about four Sunsets standing in front of him if his vision was to be trusted. Kaivus smiled, despite the pain, and the almost sure defeat judging by the official examining him as he signaled for Sunset to stand clear. Spitting his mouth guard out Kaivus began to laugh hoarsely. “It’s over you three, you win.” Kaivus then rocked back, the pain catching up to him, and sending him to a state of the barest consciousness. As he saw Sunset prepare to exit to her corner Kaivus made a sound. “Wait wait!” Kaivus yelled earning Sunset’s attention. “You’re a psycho bitch like no other, fight me again sometime?” Kaivus asked, earning a chuckle from Sunset.

“How about we just spar? I don’t think this many concussions in a week is good for me,” Sunset said, stepping back and kneeling beside the wrecked fighter.

“Says the chick who just stomped on my face? Fuck you’re on,” Kaivus growled chuckling as he lay back. Sunset considered speaking until twin pairs of feet came rushing behind her. Looking back she took stock of two figures, one extremely effeminate looking man and a woman that would give her a run in the muscular department. Somewhere in the back of her mind Sunset saw both as stunning, but as they rushed to Kaivus’ side something clicked. “Hey there’s my two favorite peole in the wor-AUGH,” Kaivus was interrupted as the two people enveloped him in a crushing hug.

“You damn stupid idiot why did you invite us to watch you get your ass kicked?” the young man asked, his slight lisp giving Sunset pause to consider the sheer implications of a living stereotype in front of her. Perhaps it was just the fact that his hair was so much more on point than hers, a glorious red with a perfect fade he was definitely one hell of a boy toy.

“Oh shush Tes, Kaivey did just fine. You know he’s used to being beaten up by chicks,” the muscular woman said, rocking the the two men in her arms, and scowling at medical officials striding over to check on Kaivus. Naturally both medics turned, not wanting to incur the fury from a woman even Sunset would call scary.

“You both worry, and just because you beat us Unzer doesn’t mean I’m used to getting annihilated like that!” Kavius chuckled, taking stock of a smiling Sunset now standing a few feet back. “Oh don’t give me that look, think just because I’m a monster in the ring I don’t have a heart?” Kaivus chided, earning a giggle from Sunset.

“Oh and you!” the one known as Tes raved, standing up and gesticulating wildly as he spoke. “I don’t know who you think you are girlfriend, but I’m telling you right here and now our Kaivey is still ten times the fighter you are. You got lucky!” he continued, snapping his fingers as he spoke.

“Tess what have I told you about bitching out on people? Save it for the bedroom ya little minx,” Kaivus chuckled leaning his head back, and seemingly relaxing despite his current broken state.

“He can’t help being a little bitchy, we all know I’m supposed to be your only alpha,” the woman called Unzer whispered, loud enough that Sunset could hear. Naturally this brought a slight blush to her face, but more surprisingly Kaivus bruised visage sported some fresh rosiness.

“Babe~” Kaivus half hissed turning into the bombshell’s lap to hide his shame. “Not in front of the crazy bitch,” he said, his voice muffled. Sunset had to snort at her new pet name from the massive warrior, and shaking her head stepped back.

“Look, I’m feeling like a fourth wheel here. Kaivus, I’m down for a spar any time you want to have an ass kicking, but maybe we save whatever numerical order of double date this is for a restaurant and not a ring?” Sunset said, her smile growing at the three obvious blushes she had earned. As if sensing an awkward moment in need of a boost three pairs of feet strode over to Sunset, her lovers embracing her sweat and blood spattered body, Adagio naturally staring down the threesome before them.

“Oh what a fabulous idea, I think we’d be fast friends, and you three simply must try Sonata’s take on knackwurst. They are such plump juicy offerings. Guaranteed to knock your combined socks off,” Adagio said, her hands fondling at an invisible sausage as still more red appeared in the faces of her victims.

“Well I feel dirty now, anyone else need a shower?” Aria monotoned shaking her head at the antics of her devious lover.

“You’re all huge sillys,” Sonata giggled pulling a card from seemingly nowhere and handing it to the stunned looking young man. “You three give us a call if you want dinner, if Dagi likes you enough to pick on you then you’re ok,” Sonata explained before turning and hooking arms with Aria.

“Catch you three later~” Adagio practically sang, blowing a kiss, as she locked fingers with Sunset.

“Get better soon Kaivus, and if you ever wanna put in proper training Iron Hooves sessions are Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at seven,” Sunset said with a wink. With that all four women turned, and strode back to their waiting friends.

“The fuck did you just get us into Kaivus?” Unzer asked shaking her brilliant platinum curls visibly as she finally motioned for the medics to head over.

“I have no idea, but she can’t be worse than when we met huh?” Kaivus offered, chuckling despite the ridiculous amount of pain he was in.

“I’m scared…” Teso said sinking into the space beside Unzer and shuddering.

“Me too Tessi, me too,” Kavius said, Unzer nodding solemnly beside him.
*********************************************

Cheers rang out in a yet abandoned building as the Canterlot University Iron Hooves and their supporters toasted their first great tournament. Sunset smiled as music blared from someone’s phone. Beers were cracked open, bottles clinked as Sonata and Pinkie mixed up drinks for all present with a proper ID. The air was properly jovial as stories were swapped and boasts made.

In her quiet corner Sunset watched the goings on with a smile, Adagio and Aria snuggled up with her on the blanket they’d brought along. “Few more months and we’ll have an incredible venue to really get down at,” Sunset said off handedly, receiving nods from her lovers as they sipped on their own drinks.

“I look forward to seeing what you have planned here Sunset Shimmer,” a gentle voice said as a tall slender form nestled down onto the blanket in front of the trio of lovers. In her slender white fingers Celestia held a glass of deep red wine, a passion she had spoken with Adagio about shortly after they had all arrived at the yet unopened restaurant.

“Thanks Princess Celestia. I hope your little vacation has been fun so far?” Sunset asked, her hopeful voice bringing Celestia back to simpler times when a little filly would show her the latest spells she was working to master. Celestia simply smiled, and nodded happily.

“She’d better be having fun, I don’t break out the rare Bordeaux for just any guest,” Adagio said with a chuckle, her cheeks slightly rosier than was the norm. Celestia gave a soft chuckle, her own alabaster cheeks sporting the heat that only social lubrication could bring.

“Oh it has certainly been some of the most fun I’ve had in decades, and the wine in this world is so vibrant compared to what my little ponies can make. I’ll be putting in many orders in the future from you Miss Dazzle. The royal coffers have quite a bit you might find appealing to such an agreement?” Celestia’s eyes flashed with an ancient sharpness Sunset had only seen when observing particularly stressful court sessions.

“Oh my dear princess I’m certain you have plenty to offer me. I promise that we shall have thorough discussions about all I will need from you to make us both very happy,” Adagio said, her own eyes lit with that certain deviousness that most would shy away from. Being a millennia old royal Celestia simply countered the verbal blows with a graceful nod. Sunset and Aria met eyes and chuckled, knowing well that the business side of the two leaders would never be properly sated. The world might not be ready for the Adagio and Celestia black market on either side of the mirror, but judging by the looks in their eyes, the world was going to have to accept it.

“Would you four stop being so lame and get up here?!” a miffed, and thoroughly blitzed Rainbow yelled from the center of a group of Iron Hooves. “We want our champ Sunset now get up here and let’s go nuts!” Rainbow continued earning a round of jovial hoots from the rambunctious fighter. Sunset looked to the women around her, all of whom simply nodded, and rising from her blanket ran over, and slammed back a beer to thunderous jubilation.
