We find the full group back together at the usual spot ready to continue watching the otherworldly show and maybe learn something about themselves and-

“You're rambling again Mr. narrator,” interrupted Pinkie Pie.

Wait no! We’re not doing this again!

“Sorry but last chapter was late so we need to move on,” she apologised.

B-but life lessons!

“We’re not here for life lessons!” she yelled. “We’re here to see fighters kill each other or in the reader’s case, watch Rarity go crazy because of Boomy’s pervy commentary on today’s fighter!” she continued.

B-but!!!

“No buts! We’r skipping to the story!” the pink pony said as she grabbed the remote.

Son of a BI-!!!

Interlude
(*Cues: Invader - Jim Johnston*)

Wiz: When it comes to fighting, combatants come in all shapes and sizes.

Boomstick: And I'm liking the shapes and sizes on these two.

“Oh sweet Celestia no,” Rarity whispered in complete horror.

Wiz: Chun-Li, the strongest woman in the world…

“I wouldn’t mind fighting her,” Rainbow said, taking the title as a challenge.

Boomstick: And Mai Shiranui, the queen of fighters.

“A queen!? Maybe we should of brought the princesses over,” Pinkie Pie suggested. “You know to continue that whole royalty joke the author thought he was clever by using?” she said cheekily towards the reader.

Bite me.

Wiz: He's Boomstick and I'm Wizard and it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win a Death Battle.

Chun-Li
(*Cues: Street Fighter II - China Street Beat: OcRemix*)

Wiz: Chun-Li, first lady of the fighting game.

Boomstick: Famous for abusing the Thigh Master.

“What’s a thigh master?” Applejack said, getting nothing but shrugs.

Wiz: Chun-Li is a detective for Interpol, and has gone through a rudimentary police combat training. She has also trained with Gen, a friend of her father's and legend of the Chinese Fighting Underworld.

“A detective, huh,” Rarity said, taking a good look at her. “She doesn’t look like one but I love her outfit.”

“It is fancy looking,” Spike said, blushing as he imagined his crush wearing the outfit.

Boomstick: But she never did finish her training with him. Does anyone ever finish their training? Seriously! Well, I guess it's not totally her fault, after Bison killed her dad, Gen just kinda disappeared on her. What a dick!

“What kind of teacher just walks out on his student when they need them most?” seethed Twilight. Angered at the fact that Chun-li’s teacher would do that.

Rainbow Dash was also glaring at the screen, she would never stop teaching Scootaloo how to fly unlike this guy who walked out his student.

Wiz: Since then, Chun-Li's been chasing after Bison for vengeance. She has trained in defense of Tai Chi, and is skilled in a fast-paced kickboxing variant of Kenpo. She prefers speed over strength, using a combination of rapid strikes to pressure an opponent.

“Vengeance is never the answer,” Twilight said, shaking her head sadly. “Her fighting styles seem interesting though.”

“If we can learn them, I wouldn’t mind knowing a few moves,” Rainbow said, liking Chun Li’s speed.

Boomstick: And if you can't tell by looking at 'em, her legs are pretty damn powerful. She can even kick people through solid brick. Still, her strength doesn't just lie in those legs. She's strong enough to toss things around as big as a couch.

“She’d be welcomed in the Apple household,” Applejack said, feeling she could get along with the fighter.

“She could help me with my animal friends,” Fluttershy

(*Cues: Chun-Li's Theme - Steet Fighter Third Strike China*)

Wiz: Her main attacks include the unbelievably fast Lightning Legs, the unpredictable Axe Kick, and the physics defying Spinning Bird Kick.

“Holy cow! I gotta admit that’s an interesting way to fly,” Rainbow said. Not caring that it looked silly, anyone who can pull that off was cool in her book.

Boomstick: I wouldn't mind taking a ride on that helicopter!

“Sorry mister but you're not allowed on this ride,” growled out Rarity.

Wiz: She can also focus her natural Ki energy to create the Kikoken, a slow, limited ranged attack.

“At least she has a ranged attack,” Pinkie said, not looking to impressed with the attack.

Boomstick: And the Kikosho is basically a super version of that: an enormous ball of energy strong enough to stop a speeding car.

The group didn’t know what a car was but it still sounded impressive.

Wiz: Her detective skills were instrumental in taking down the criminal organization, Shadaloo; and after the tournaments, Chun-Li became a martial arts teacher. However, she has yet to win any major tournament, and failed to kill Bison to avenge her father. She was able to rescue one of her students from Urien, but turns out Urien let her win, wanting only to test her skills.

“She defeated a criminal organization? That’s pretty cool,” Spike said, imaging her as a hero.

“It’s nice to see that she’s teaching others. It feels good to know that you’re helping the younger generation learn how to defend themselves,” Twilight said, seeing herself in Chun Li somewhat.

Boomstick: Also, it seems Chun ends up having to be rescued a lot, usually by Guile.

“Teehee I smell shipping~” Rarity sang.

Wiz: Oddly enough, her most noble award is placing sixth in an International Shooting Competition, despite rarely carrying a gun.

“That’s impressive for a gal who barely carries a weapon on her,” complemented Applejack.

Feats
Took down Shadaloo
Christened the "Strongest Woman in the World"
Honorary X-Men member
Martial Arts Teacher
Never Defeated Bison
Defeated Urien [Kind of]

Boomstick: Well, I guess things wouldn't be too fair if she brought a gun to a Street Fight. Round One... BANG! WINNER!

“Wish we could do that with our rainbow power’s.” muttered Fluttershy.

Wiz: Despite this, Chun-Li is certainly capable of holding her own, and has been consistently proven to be one of the toughest contenders in the Street Fighter tournaments.

Chun-Li: You ready for this?

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

After a close discussion, the girls agreed that Chun Li was strong despite having a few flaws.

Mai Shiranui
(*Cues: Flame Dragon God 'Theme of Mai Shiranui' (Arranged) - Fatal Fury Special*)

Wiz: Mai Shiranui is... well...

Boomstick: Holy crap, look at those things!

Rarity was half tempted to pull out the bottle of wine she brought with her right her and now.

Wiz: Mai is a ninja of the Shiranui Clan and has been trained by both her grandfather and the perverted, yet famously deadly, Jubei Yomato.

“And her grandfather trusted her with that shameless lecher.” demanded Rarity.

Boomstick: He brought a whole new meaning to 'wax on, wax off'!

This confused everyone as they didn’t understand what that meant but Rarity felt like she should be angry anyway.

Wiz: She has extensive training in the Shiranui Ryu fighting styles. From her grandfather, Mai learned the Koppo-ken technique, specializing in pressure points and bone snapping. With Jubei, Mai trained in close-combat Judo.

Boomstick: Mai's pretty fast, but focuses on single powerful strikes to punch through an enemy's defenses. The only downside to this is if she misses one, she's left wide open. (chuckles)

“Don’t think I didn’t catch that one Boomstick!” yelled Rarity, feeling a head

(*Cues: Goenitz Theme - The King of Fighters 2002 Unlimited Match*)

Wiz: Her Flying Squirrel Furiante and Deadly Ninja Bee attacks help her control the field of battle, and she uses clever fake-outs to trip up her foes.

“So she uses speed and tricks to take out stronger opponents,” analyzed Twilight.

“Sounds like a fighting style i can get behind,” commented a grinning Rainbow Dash.

“Sure ya just don’t to impress sonic?” said cheeky Applejack. Getting a frustrated yell from her rainbow friend.

Attacks

Deadly Ninja Bees

Boomstick: And she has an unlimited amount of Steel Fans she can throw, which I guess she keeps in her non-existing bra.

“How does she do that?” Twilight asked, trying to understand what magic Mai was using.

“Boomstick,” Rarity growled, getting even angrier than before. Seeing his crush like this, Spike scooted away from her slowly.

Wiz: That's right…

“What?” everyone asked stunned.

Boomstick: Really? I was just making a joke about her giant boobs.

The temptation to down her wine bottle was getting stronger.

Wiz: Speaking of her... outfits...

Boomstick: Or lack thereof...

“Shut. it!” Rarity gritted out.

“She looks like she’s going to explode at any moment,” Spike whispered to the rest of the group.

Wiz: While it's unrestricted, it isn't exactly form-fitting either. However, as a testament to her training and balance, it doesn't seem to bother her.

“Doesn't bother me either…” Spike muttered under his breath.

(*Cues: Esaka (Japan Team Theme) - King of Fighters '96*)

Wiz: She wears it for Kunoichi, a female ninja method of sexually distracting a foe before striking.

Boomstick: ...I'm sorry, what? I was distracted.

Spike was thankful that his friends were watching the show, so they don’t see his blush.

Wiz: Never mind.

Boomstick: Okay, Mai can create fire and explosions, and she can control whatever fire she's created.

“That could be useful,” Rarity said, happy to hear something that can’t be sexualized by Boomstick.

“It does seem better than Chun Li’s chi attacks,” Twilight said, after seeing Mai’s skills with her fire power.

Pyrokinesis
Creates Fire & Explosions
Ryu En Bu Attack
Burning Mai Attack

Wiz: Mai consistently enters the King of Fighters tournaments to support herself, her Self proclaimed fiancé, Andy Bogard. However, she has yet to win any major tournament, nor has she ever made a great impact in taking down the bosses.

Feats
Mastered Stealth & Ninjitsu
Does Well in Tournaments
Formed the Women's Team
Never Won a Tourney
Has Only Made Minor Impacts in Plots

“So she’s a lower tier fighter then her friends.” Twilight theorized.

“I’m sure she helps out as much as she can,” said Fluttershy.

Boomstick: Or taking down Andy!

“Stop talking like that!” Screamed Rarity.

“Wow Rarity almost sounds like your little bit jealo-” Applejack teased before her words died in her throat when Rarity gave her the most bloodthirsty stare ever.

“If you even think of finishing that sentence Applejack I will go down to you house and replace everything with goudy city theme objects and have Pinkie Pie paint your farmhouse!” threaten Rarity to a frighten Applejack.

“Ooh! I even have some glitter paint to!” cheered the Pink Pony. causing Applejack to pale even further.

Wiz: She always does well, though, even joining Andy's award winning team in 1999.

Boomstick: Even so, she ends up having to be rescued a lot, usually by Andy. But for some reason, I don't seem to mind.

Mai Shiranui: Mai Shiranui of the Shiranui School must teach you a lesson.

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

Boomstick: It’s time for a death battle!

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

On teams chun li's team: Twilight, Rarity, and Applejack

On mai’s team. Everyone else.

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

Death Battle
(*Cues: Flame Dragon God 'Theme of Mai Shiranui' (Arranged) - Fatal Fury Special*)

Mai Shiranui awaits her opponent in the middle of a deep forest. Chun-Li walks up and Mai gives her a respectful bow.

“At least Mai is respecting her opponent.” Fluttershy said.

FIGHT!

Chun-Li starts off with a Kikoken, but due to the slow movement and limited range of the projectile, Mai easily rolls under it and starts delivering a fast barrage of low strikes and the Folding Fan Fandango, ending with a drop kick to knock back Chun-Li. She pauses for a moment before charging in to finish off her opponent.

“Mais already starting of strong,” Twilight said as they all watched the battle continued.

(*Cues: Chun Li's Theme - Marvel vs Capcom 3*)

However, Chun-Li recovers and springs to her feet, kicking Mai in the face. She then flips over Mai's attempted Ryu En Bu Attack, and throws her back. Just as Mai gets back up, Chun-Li charges in with her Axe Kick, followed by several hard blows, and her Lightning Leg Attack.

“And here comes Chun-li showing off those legs!” Applejack cheered

Realizing that close-combat with Chun-Li is not favorable, Mai gets some distance and throws out three of her Hacho San (Butterfly Fans) with the third being powered by her pyrokinesis. She also leaps in. Chun-Lin blocks first two fans but is unable to block the third fiery one and Mai's simultaneous fire strike from above, taking both hits and an extra strike. Mai then attempts a fake-out with her Flying Squirrel Furiante, but Chun-Li anticipates the move and lets loose with a powered-up version of her Lightning Legs, causing Mai to take heavy damage and knocking her down. Chun-Li charges in but Mai manages to recover, flips over Chun-Li and trips her with a sweep kick.

“This is getting so intense!!” yelled Spike as everyone else was sweating from the fight.

Mai changes her strategy and begins leading Chun-Li in a chase up the tall trees. Each time they pass each other they exhange blows, but Mai manages to get another pyrokinetic strike, knocking Chun-Li down. Chun-Li retaliates and catches Mai off-guard with her Spinning Bird Kick. Mai is left dazed on a large tree limb, as Chun-Li lands and pauses to build up her ki to finish off her opponent. This is Chun-Li's final mistake as it is just enough time for Mai to recover and roll out of the way. Chun-Li's Kikosho Attack misses, and Mai uses her legs to grab Chun-Li's head, slam her into the tree limb, and then kick her into another tree. As Chun-Li falls, Mai follows her down in a fiery rolling attack, slamming into her opponent as she hits the forest floor. With Chun-Li standing in a fiery daze, Mai uses her pyrokinetic powers to engulf Chun-Li in a huge explosion of fire, leaving nothing but a charred skeleton, similar to Mortal Kombat's Scorpion's Fatality.

Everyone look wide eyed at the brutal death.

K.O.!

Mai: Nippon Ichi!

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

Results
Boomstick: Boobs win!

“Sigh… just, just buck it.” sighed a defeated Rarity, too tired to get angry anymore.

Wiz: Chun-Li maybe a bit tougher and quicker than Mai, and her professional training even prepared her for the fake out ruse. However, her arsenal pales in comparison to that of Mai's, with her pyrokinesis and steel fans, Mai had superior range and energy-based attacks.

“She had the clear advantage from the beginning.” stated Twilight.

Boomstick: And while Chun's a beast in close corners combat, her straightforward approach was a bad match up against Mai's ninja training.

“Even I have to admit even I would have to play dirty against a pony with mai’s skill.” said Applejack.

Wiz: It was certainly a close match, but Mai's nimbleness and firepower eventually won out.

Boomstick: Chun-Li's never looked hotter.

“Even i found that in poor taste,” muttered Pinkie Pie.

Wiz: The Winner is Mai Shiranui.

END!

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

Boomstick: Next time on Death Battle.

They see an open field. They see a flying jet like vehicle fly overhead, they unexpectedly watch the vehicle "transform" as it shapeshifts into a more humanoid form. They also see a blur zoom past it and lands into the ground the creates a dust cloud. They were unable to see who the figure is as the video ends.

STARSCREAM VS. RAINBOW DASH!!!

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

The room was oddly silent after they saw the preview for the next battle. It took them a moment for their tiny little brains to process that the blue speedster of their group was gonna be on Death Battle.

“AWWWWW YEEEAAAHHH! THIS IS GONNA BE AWESOME,” Rainbow yelled feeling very excited at the news.

“But, how?” Rarity asked confused by this.

“Rainbow’s gonna fight?” Fluttershy asked, hiding behind her hair.

“A giant robot?” Applejack asked, not faring any better than her friends.

“Yeah, it’s gonna be awesome,” Rainbow said, floating in front of her friends.

“What’re you doing on the show!?” Her friends yelled.

Rainbow covers her ears and said, “Can you not yell so loud? I’m right here.”

“Darling, aren’t you even the least bit curious of why you’re on the show?” Rarity asked, worried for her friend.

“Nope,” Rainbow said, not caring one bit.

After she said that, her friends began yelling at her for her careless attitude This lasted for a couple of minutes as Applejack saw Spike and Twilight just sitting on the couch calmly. “Why’re you two just sitting there? Aren’t you the least bit curious why Rainbow is the show?”

“Not really. This is obviously a part of the multiverse theory,” Twilight said, as if it was the simplest thing in the world.

Everyone looked at Twilight and said, “Multiverse theory?”

“Yeah. Multiverse theory means that there’s an infinite number of worlds where they’re different in some way or form. It’s like the world I go to and see Sunset or the world were Celestia and Luna were evil,” Twilight said, calming her friends down somewhat.

“Well I don’t care about this theory. I refuse to see a friend of mine fight to the death,” Rarity said, walking towards the door.

“I hear ya Rare. You can watch the episode if you want, I just don’t feel comfortable watching it,” Applejack said, following Rarity as Fluttershy nodded ad followed Applejack out the door.

The four that stayed behind just stared at their retreating friends.
