After they were able to awaken the two sisters and were able to have Pinkie Pie apologize for scaring them, everyone sat back down and watch the next episode.

“That was a pretty lazy into Mr. author,” Pinkie Pie scolded.

Bite me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Interlude
(*Cues: Invader - Jim Johnston*)

Wiz: Today, two experts of destruction and masters of terrain will fight to the bitter end.

Boomstick: White Bomber, the Bomberman...

Wiz: And Taizo Hori, aka Dig Dug.

Boomstick: He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick.

Wiz: And it's our jobs to analyze their weapons, armour and skills to find out who would win a Death Battle.

Bomberman
(*Cues: Unknown Theme*)

Boomstick: Bomberman is a psychopathic cyborg slave forced to duel other slaves to the death in dimly-lit maze-like arenas for the entertainment of alien terrorists.

“Holy cow!! That’s so awesome!!” cheered rainbow dash. Completely floored that the lame looking creature could be so cool.

Wiz: No, no, not that Bomberman, Boomstick.

“Awww…” moned everyone in disappointment, all except Fluttershy who sighed in relief.

(*Cues: Classic Mode/Standard Battle (Original) - Bomberman Generation*)

Wiz: White Bomber, the Bomberman, an alien robot warrior from the planet Bomber who belongs to an intergalactic police force protecting the galaxy.

“So this fellas a space cop?” questioned Applejack

Boomstick: Oh... well, his method of saving those planets is blowing the shit out of them, so he's alright with me.

“B-but how is that saving anyone!?” screamed Twilight.

Wiz: Right! Bomberman cares little for the environment he is supposedly protecting, making him an unpredictable opponent.

“Doesn't seem like the kind of person we would have upholding the law,” commented Celestia. Getting a nod of agreement from her sister and from everyone else. But no one notice pinkie pie looking out of the ballroom window, then sneaking out the door while everyone was distracted by the show.

Background:
Alien Robot Warrior
Generate Bombs
Defender of the Galaxy
Uses explosives to save helpless planets
Young & Naive

Boomstick: Bomberman's answer to every problem is... explosions! Got a locked door? Blow it up! Behind on taxes? Blow them up! Have a naggy wife? Blow her ass up too! His arsenal consists of bombs, bombs, and more bombs, which usually take about two or three seconds to detonate. And while the explosions start off small, they can be upgraded to destroy an entire acre all at once. Plus, he can charge a bomb up to over four times its size for maximum destruction.

Bombs:
2-3 second detonation
Cannot be defused
Upgradeable
Can be kicked or thrown
Can be powered up by being held

“Those are some truly dangerous weapons,” said Luna

Wiz: While blasting his way through planet after planet, Bomberman finds numerous power-ups buried beneath the earth.

“I hope that's not the reason why he ends up blowing up planets,” Rarity said. Hoping that the bomberman was not killing off planets just to get more power.

(*Cues: Battle Game - Bomberman Jetters*)

Wiz: Bomb Up gives him extra bombs, Accelerator increases his running speed, Armor gives him temporary immunity, the Explosion Expander gives his bombs a power boost, and Bomb Kick and Power Glove let him kick and throw bombs at his own leisure.

Boomstick: And when he picks up Super Bombs, you know he means business. I'm talkin' T2: Judgement Day business.

Power-Ups:
Accelerator
Armor
Explosion Expander
Bombkick
Power Glove
Super Bomb

The group could only gulp at the wide variety of ways the white bomber could lay waste to their planet.

Wiz: Bomberman can also hatch and tame wild Rooeys, kangaroo-like creatures which give White Bomber a distinct advantage in battle.

“Their so cute!” cooed Fluttershy, completely falling for the cute creatures and wishing she could make friends with them.

Boomstick: Each Rooey has a different ability, though generally they are very fast, have incredibly good jumping skills, can step over bombs, and sacrifice themselves for Bomberman if need be. Kind of like Yoshi.

“Nooo!” Cried Fluttershy.

Rooeys:
Easily Tamed
Super Speed
High Jumps
Can step over bombs
Sometimes called 'Looeys' or 'Louies'

Wiz: Which brings up Bomberman's weakness: his own weapons. If White Bomber's careless, he can easily get caught in his own explosion or trap himself between a wall and his dropped bombs.

“It’s for those reasons we never let our royal guard handle any explosives,” explained Celestia.

“We don’t want a repeat from 1500 years ago,” Luna deadpanned.

Boomstick: Yeah, Bomberman's pretty good at blowing shit up, but he's not so hot when it comes to defusing his own explosives, but he's survived through a crap-ton of games, leaving behind many smoldering piles of rubble that used to be planets, towns, and families

Bomberman: I did it!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The group wasn’t sure what to think of The white Bomber, but they could agree that he was dangerous.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dig Dug
(*Cues: Dig Dug Game Room Theme - Namco Museum Vol.3*)

Wiz: Dig Dug is an expert excavator and executioner. He consistently traverses the underground to slay dragons. His real name is Taizo Hori, which literally means "I want to dig". He is also the father of the more recent phenomenon, Mr. Driller.

“This guy actively hunts dragons!?” gasped out Spike.

Background:
Real Name: Taizo Hori
Honorary Chairman of the Driller Council
Father of Mr. Driller
Ex-Husband of 'Kissy' from Baraduke A.K.A. Alien Sector

Boomstick: Dig Dug has two loves in life: diggin' and killin'. His main weapon is one of the most cruel and deadly weapons I've ever seen. It's pretty much a cross between a bike pump and a harpoon.

“Oh sweet celestia…” Twilight was quick to figure out what that weapon did.

Wiz: An odd weapon, which I would normally question the efficiency of...

“As would I,” Rarity agreed. Not understanding what was so deadly about it.

Boomstick: But when he stabs you with it... you're gonna wish you die any other way than what Mr. Dig Dug has planned for you.

Now everyone was starting to get an uneasy feeling about the Pump weapon.

Wiz: The average human body can only take around 15 pounds per square inch of air pressure before death is assured. Every time Dig Dug pumps, over 10 PSI is injected into his victim, quickly immobilizing them. Two or three pumps later, Dig Dug's target combusts.

“Mother of me,” Celestia whispered out.

Boomstick: That is one horrible way to die. Imagine after being impaled, you're then slowly filled with air until you explode. Oh man, this guy is sick.

Pump:
15' Harpoon-like hose
Forcefully inflates foes
Stuns enemies for a short time
Injects 10 psi per pump
Pumped until the victim explodes

“WHAT SICKO USES SOMETHING LIKE THAT!?” screamed Rainbow dash, as she held onto a frightened Fluttershy.

Wiz: Dig Dug also has a jackhammer, which he uses to burrow through the earth at an unimaginable speed. He has total control over his terrain and can maneuver through the ground just as easily as walking through an empty field, climbing and crawling without slowing down.

“This monster can dig far greater than any diamond dog,” muttered Rarity.

Jackhammer:
Burrows in 4 directions
Instant start up
Fast & Efficient
Can tear apart islands (that terrified the group beyond words.)

Boomstick: That jackhammer can even force entire islands to split apart, but the strangest thing is the sound it makes. You'd think a jackhammer would sound like this...

(*jackhammer sound*)

Everyone winced from the loud noise of the Jackhammer.

Boomstick: But Dig Dug's sounds like this.

(*Dig Dug walking sound*)

That actually got some raised brows from the group.

Wiz: Actually, Boomstick, that sound seems to occur each time he takes a step, not just when he's drilling.

Boomstick: So... what? It's his feet? Man, that would get really annoying. No wonder this guy is a psycho.

“Still not a good reason to kill his enemies like that.” growled out Twilight.

Wiz: Dig Dug possesses great physical endurance, climbing and digging tirelessly for unprecedented amounts of time, and yet he is easily defeated when tackled by a tomato with eyes.

Boomstick/everyone: What?

Wiz: Yes, Dig Dug battles both ferocious dragons and living tomatos.

“That’s… so stupid,” deadpanned Luna.

Boomsticks: Who in the hell thought walking tomatoes with goggles were on-par with fire-breathing ghost dragons?

“YA!” yelled an enraged Spike. Angry at the fact that his people where compared to a Fruit with eyes

The group sees Dig Dug sneak up on a unsuspecting dragon and then attaches his weapon onto the poor creature.

“Oh god no…” muttered Spike

(*Pumps dragon three times*)

“Nononono!” the young drake cried out.

(*Dragon explodes*)

“NOOOOO!” screamed Spike, as Twilight was Quick to embrace the poor child,

(*Dig Dug level complete jingle*)

Wiz: Alright the combatants are set, let's end this debate once and for all.

Boomstick: But first, I spilled some coffee on my space dinosaur t-shirt and I need to get another but wheeere?

Wiz: Why aa Bustedtees of course.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Everyone was stunned at the brutal way dig dug would beat his enemies and worried for the white bomber.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Boomstick: But right now, It's time for a Death Battle!

Death Battle
(*Cues: Stage Theme - Bomberman NES*)

Bomberman is riding a Rooey across Dig Dug's field when they suddenly cross Dig Dug.

FIGHT!

(*Cues: Battle - Bomberman 64*)

Dig Dug fires his harpoon, which the Rooey gets out of the way of, then it dashes into Dig Dug six times. After the last hit, Dig Dug sees a bomb dropped by Bomberman and quickly burrows into the ground. The explosion destroys a block and reveals an Explosion Expander, which Bomberman goes for. Dig Dug sneaks up underneath Bomberman, stabbing his harpoon into the Rooey. After four pumps, the Rooey explodes, leaving Bomberman on the ground. He then quickly gets up, lifts up a bomb, charges it twice, then drops it into the hole. Dig Dug sees it and runs away once again. The explosion destroys more blocks, revealing four power-ups: Accelerator, Explosion Expander, Bomb-Up, and Bomb Kick. Bomberman walks over and picks all four of them up before following Dig Dug's trail and kicking a bomb in his direction.

(*Cues: Masker - Bomberman 64*)

Dig Dug turns around and uses his harpoon to deflect it. Bomberman then kicks it, with the cycle continuing until Bomberman throws another bomb. Both flee as the bombs' both create huge plus-shaped explosions, destroying many blocks, underneath them the Super Bomb, which Bomberman grabs. Dig Dug continues fleeing, digging his way upward towards the surface as Bomberman holds the Super Bomb in his hand, charging it to four times its size, before throwing it. The explosion from it is so great that Dig Dug, who nearly made it, is in the air with no blocks around him, causing him to fall down in front of Bomberman, who has another Super Bomb for him.

(*Cues: Boss Intro #2 - Bomberman 64*)

As Bomberman charges it twice, Dig Dug quickly fires his harpoon at Bomberman, causing him to drop the Super Bomb, then pumps him twice before digging underneath to escape the inevitable explosion. Bomberman slowly recovers, then turns to see his Super Bomb about to go off. His

“Oh he done Bucked up!” cried applejack.

eyes turn large and cartoonish as he lets out a scream before the Super Bomb explodes, leaving a huge hole in the ground. Dig Dug then looks over at the newly-made hole, seeing that his opponent was obliterated by his own weapon.

K.O.!

Results
(*Cues: Dig Dug REMIX - Trailer Theme*)

Boomstick: Yeah, explosions!

“YA!!” cheered Rainbow Dash.

Wiz: Dig Dug is a difficult opponent for anyone to beat, not for brute strength but maneuverability. Dig Dug had complete control over the terrain right off the bat, while Bomberman was forced to rely on his power ups for success.

“The fact that he had to resort to his top weaponry was a huge sign that he was out class from the start,” lectured Twilight.

Boomstick: Taking the fight into the ground gave Dig Dug a huge advantage.

“And you never fight an enemy on their terms,” added Luna, remembering Commander Hurricane’s lessons back before the whole Nightmare Moon incident.

Wiz: Even after if it looked like Bomberman took the lead, Dig Dug proved he could control his opponent just as much as he can control his environment.

Boomstick: Bomberman sure went out with a bang.

Everyone groaned at that lame pun.

Wiz: The winner is Dig Dug.

END!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Boomstick: Next time on Death Battle.

The group see a bipedal animal like figure walking out of the smoke. He's some kind of hedgehog wearing red and white shoes, white gloves and two rings, each wrapped around his wrist. His fur is grayish gold with red stripes and he glowed with some kind of aura like energy that was as bright as the sun. He speaks in a intimidating, chilling voice.

????: I am Shadow, the ultimate life form.

Then they see a man with an arrogant look on his face. He's wearing some kind of strange outfit that could be armor and his spiky hair was glowing gold as well as his eyebrows that could put gold to shame in brilliance. He's also surrounded by an aura like energy. He also speaks in an arrogant voice but deadly voice.

?????: And I, am the Prince of all Saiyans!

Vegeta vs Shadow.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Well that was yet another interesting episode,” commented Twilight

“Yeah it was pretty cool. The explosions, the chase and everything was just right,” Rainbow said, lazily hovering in the air.

“And it seems the box gave us a few plush toys of the characters,” Rarity said, holding a plushie of Bomberman in her magic.

As everyone had their own plushie, Twilight noticed that there were two extra plushies inside the box. Confused by the extras the box gave, Twilight looked around to see if any of her friends didn’t get one. A quick head count showed her that someone was missing.

“Where’s Pinkie?” Twilight asked her friends.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ With Pinkie Pie ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We find Pinkie Pie outside Twilight’s crystal castle talking to …...Bomberman? What the fuck?

“So you’re telling me your organization wants me to join them?” Pinkie Pie asked the white bomer.

Bomberman nods happily.

“Wowsers, I can be the first party pony in space,” Pinkie said, dancing happily. “Sign me up.”

Bomberman made a happy sounding noise which mostly likely meant his approval. He pulled out a bomb shaped badge from… somewhere and gave it to Pinkie. He gave the party pony a happy little wave as he was surrounded by light and disappeared from sight. Most likely returning to his planet or to an arena to dispense justice to evildoers and planets.

“Bye-Bye, Bomb-bomb,” Pinkie said, waving goodbye to her new destructive friend. She looked at her newly acquired badged, smiling at the thought of new adventures she’ll have in the near future.
