The girls were sitting in the viewing room while Pinkie and Spike were in the kitchen, getting some snacks for everyone. The others were discussing who could be the next combatants.

“So all we know is that either one or both use a hammer,” Rainbow said, scratching her chin.

“Maybe. It could be just one of them,” Applejack said, speaking her own thoughts.

“Then what can the other fighter have?” Twilight asked, looking at her friends.

“It is possible that the other combatant can use lightning,” Rarity said, causing everypony to look at her. “If you remember, the trailer showed a lightning bolt.”

Before anypony could say anything, the room was filled with a bright light that blinded everypony. When the light died down, the occupants of the room saw none other than Princess Celestia standing there.

“Princess Celestia,” Twilight said, running up to her mentor.

“Hello, Princess Twilight,” Celestia said, smiling at her former student.

“What’re you doing here? Not that I mind,” Twilight said, smiling bashfully.

“I had a bit of free time and thought that I could watch another episode with you and your friends,” Celestia said, walking over to the couch.

“We’d be happy for you to join us,” Twilight said as her friends nodded and Pinkie with Spike came out of the kitchen with snacks.

“Hey princess,” Spike and Pinkie said greeting their guest.

Celestia gave them a smile as she said, “Now that everyone’s here, we can can watch the episode, right?”

“Of course,” Twilight said,grabbing the remote and pressing play.

Interlude
(*Cues: Invader - Jim Johnston*)

Wiz: The gods of thunder may endure eternal rule, but in the ring together, they are anything but immortal.

“Oh my!” where seeing a fight between gods!” gasped out Rarity.

“So coool~!” cheered out Rainbow dash.

Boomstick: The mighty Thor, prince of Asgard...

“A god and a prince?” asked Applejack, surprised at the title combo.

“He seems nice,” whispered Fluttershy.

While everyone was talking about the prince of Asgard no one noticed Celestia giving a surprised look at the first fighters introduction.

Wiz:...and Lord Raiden, defender of Earthrealm.

“So he’s a guardian god,” commented Celestia. Shaking of her previous shock.

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

Wiz: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win a DEATH BATTLE.

Thor
(*Cues: Thor (2011) - Sons of Odin*)

Boomstick: In Norse mythology, Thor is the god of thunder, strength, healing, and...oak trees? Well regardless, he was badass enough to get his own comic book.

“What’s wrongs oak trees?” said Twilight with a glare. Still sore about what happened to her old home.

Background:
Real Name: Thor Odinson the Mighty
Height: 6'6"
Weight: 640 lbs.
Secret Identity: Dr. Donald Blake
Skilled Surgeon & Medic
Guardian of Midgard A.K.A. Earth
Superiority Complex

Wiz: Thor Odinson was conceived between the Allfather and Earth's Elder Goddess with the intent of creating the strongest man in the universe. He can lift over a million tons, move at supersonic speeds, never feel exhaustion, survive the vacuum of space, and talk with frogs.

“I’m surprised that you're not angry at another pony faster than you?” questioned Applejack getting a blank stare from Rainbow Dash.

“Well I can’t can’t really compare to a god now can I?” said Rainbow Dash showing a great amount of maturity and humility.

“That was quite mature of you Rainbow Dash,” praised Celestia with a motherly smile. Getting a bashful look from the blue mare.

Boomstick: He's immune to poison, burns and electrocution, and he can survive the heat of the Sun, or even a planet-bursting explosion. Well, I guess that's what happens when God bangs the Earth.

“I'll say! Them are some mighty fine genes that boy has,” Applejack said with amazement.

“Ok I can easily say this guy can beat me any day of the week.” gulped out Rainbow Dash. she might be prideful but even she knows when to pick her battles.

Wiz: While Thor is not invulnerable, he is augmented by his godly status and a fraction of the all-powerful Odin Force sealed within Mjolnir, his enchanted hammer.

“Fascinating!”said Twilight as she took dawn notes on Mjolnir in her notebook mutch to the amusement of her former teacher.

Superhuman Abilities:
Super Strength
Supersonic Speeds
Self Sustenance
Inexhaustible Stamina
Nigh-Invulnerability
Super Breath
Immunity to Ailments

Boomstick: That's his weapon??? That thing is way too tiny! I mean, if he was the god of mending fences or something I guess I could say -

"The thing still looks like it could do some damage," said Rarity. not understanding why Boomstick was making fun of Thor's hammer.

Thor smashes the Rainbow Bridge with Mjolnir causing a great explosion.

“WHOA!!!” most of the group yelled as the sound from the explosion was blasting through the speakers, nearly knocking them back from the volume.

The only one who wasn’t blown back was Celestia who just stared with a small smile and a look of nostalgia in her eyes.

Boomstick: WHOA! Oh shit! Never mind!

(*Cues: Thor(2011) - Prologue*)

Wiz: Mjolnir is mystically bound to Thor, and obeys him as if it were alive. And if it were any larger, it would be too heavy to wield.

“Learning a lot Twilight?” asked Celestia with a mirthful smile, all she got was a quick nod from the young alicorn who was too focused on writing down what she was seeing. This caused Celestia to let out an amused smile as she patted Twilight’s mane.

Boomstick: So it's not the size of the hammer, it's how he uses it!

“Darn it boomstick! you couldn't help yourself could you?” ranted Rarity. But a winged hug from the sun princess help calmed her down.

Wiz: It was forged by dwarves using the core of a dying star, which went supernova and killed all the dinosaurs.

“That's so super duper extra cool!” Pinkie Pie cheered.

“Heck ya it is!” agreed Rainbow dash.

Boomstick: Yeah. Forget anything that I said earlier. I'm liking the dino-slaughtering hammer. Where can I get one?

“Ya where!?” asked Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and surprisingly Twilight as well and with a look of child like glee.

Wiz: Mjolnir can only be wielded by Thor.

Boomstick/the three mares : Aww.

Wiz: Although there is a work-around. Red Hulk once carried the hammer into space because Thor was still holding onto it, which may be one of the dumbest technicalities ever.

“That’s an odd loophole.” commented Rarity thinking a weapon should be heavy to an enemy even if the wielder was still holding it.

Mjolnir:
Bound to Thor
Literally means 'Crusher'
Forged from a Starcore
Momentum Based Flight
Unbreakable
Anti-Force Energy Blasts
God Blast (Summons his energy into a beam capable of slaying immortals)

Boomstick: But Mjolnir is not the only thing in Thor's arsenal. He wears the Belt of Strength which -surprise! - doubles his already powerful might.

“Ahhhh~ it’s always good to see accessory at work,” said Rarity

“Wouldn't mind having that belt,” Applejack said as she eyed the belt on screen imagining that belt helping her make work at the farm a lot easier.

Megingjord:
Nordic Title: Megingjord
Belt of Strength
Doubles Thor's Physique

Wiz: And naturally, as the god of thunder, Thor can manipulate the weather. Storms, tornadoes, the wind. He can even summon deadly bolts of lightning.

“Oh my it’s like he’s a super Pegasus,” commented Fluttershy as she was starting to enjoy this fighter even though he was big and tough looking she couldn't help but feel calm when looking at him.

“More like a pegasus god!” awed Rainbow Dash.

Boomstick: He also has some control over the earth. He can make earthquakes that span entire continents.

“And now add Earth pony god on that growing list of magic,” deadpanned Applejack.

Godly Powers:
Weather Manipulation
Wind-Powered Flight
Earthquake Control
Immortality
Warrior's Madness Berserk State
Healing Powers

Wiz: Thor has fought and defeated many of the most powerful warriors in the Marvel universe. He's mastered enough martial arts to box Captain America to a standstill, and even overpowered the Hulk. Although, in the past, he could lose his powers when separated from his hammer.

“That’s an odd weakness?” commented fluttershy.

Boomstick: Which is pretty stupid, considering his main method of attack is throwing the damn thing.

“And that’s the worst thing to do,” deadpanned Spike.

Wiz: But through some convoluted magic absurdity, this is no longer a problem. In fact, he has no specific physical weaknesses, though he suffers from a superiority complex. Arrogant and eager to fight, he often ignores even the most perceptible risks.

most of the group stayed silent as they all turn their attention towards Rainbow dash.

“... welp i guess Dash is a demi-god,” joked Applejack electing a few laughs from the group except said blue mare who was glaring at them.

“Oh buck the lot of you!” yelled the annoyed speedster.

“Naw you should save that for sonic,” joked Pinkie. Getting even more laughter from the group.

Feats:
Master Marksman
Top Flight Speed: Mach 32
Martial Arts Mastery (Viking, Celtic, Saxon, German, & American fighting styles)
Overpowered the Hulk
Can Destroy Adamantium
Escaped a Black Hole
Strongest Asgardian, aside Odin, lifted the Midgard Serpent

Boomstick: I like him!

Thor hits a Frost Giant with Mjolnir, knocking him into an icy wall.

Thor: Next?

“So coool~!” everyone said.

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

The group agreed that thor was a powerhouse and if he could control his arrogance he could win.

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

Raiden
(*Cues: Parotoe - Mortal Kombat Theme (Metal)*)

Wiz: According to Japanese legend, Raiden is the god of thunder and storms who, when angered, devours the stomachs of children as they sleep.

“WHAT!?” screamed the girls as they all turn green in the face at the thought of a monster that eats children's guts.

Boomstick: Mmm, child haggis. Just like Mom used to make. Well, whenever he's had his fill of defenseless, sleeping children, I guess he decided to protect the Earth from evil.

“Why would his mom make haggis out of kids?” whispered out Fluttershy. But not getting answer from her friends who were still stunned at the last part.

Wiz: Raiden is the defender of Earthrealm, and a key leader into shielding it from the forces of Shao Kahn's Outworld.

“Who’s this Shao Kahn we keep hearing about?” asked Rainbow Dash. they heard about him from Akuma vs shang battle and now here.

“Meh no one to worry about until season 2.” said Pinkie Pie. getting a few confused looks from her friends.

Background
Full Name: Lord Raiden
Height: 7'
Weight: 350 Lbs.
Age: Eternal
Protector of Earthrealm
Martial arts mastery
Jujitsu, Nan Chuan, Judo, & Taekwondo

Boomstick: He's a master of several fighting styles, and amps them up with powerful electric attacks. He sometimes wields a wooden staff, but generally prefers his fists.

“All ways good to have a weapon as a backup,” commented Spike.

Wiz: From the mobile kicks of Tae Kwon Do, to the anti-armor combat of jujitsu, Raiden's wide variety of fighting styles complement each other perfectly to take down any kind of opponent.

“Always have a plan for any situation,” said Celestia.

Writing that one down,” said an excited Twilight as she was happy to see even a shred of her old mentor teaching again.

Boomstick: This thunder god used several lightning-charged special attacks, like the Vicinity Blast, Electric Fly, and the Shocking Touch. Not to mention, when finishing his foes, he discharges so much electricity into them that they combust. The sheer power of these lightning attacks apparently overload his brain, causing him to spout out random gibberish in mid-attack.

Special Moves
Lightning Shots
Vicinity Blast
Shocking Touch
Electric Fly
Electric Slide
Teleport
Fatalities

Raiden uses his Electric Fly on Jax.

That got the group laughing at that random scene.

(*Cues: Mortal Kombat - Eternal Life (Metal)*)

Wiz: As an eternal god, Raiden is entirely composed of ethereal energy, and can morph into various forms of electrical force. With this trait he gains teleportation, flight and unlimited endurance.

The girls found those skills to pretty neat.

Boomstick: And like any other thunder god, Raiden has all sorts of control over the weather and lightning.

“So same power as thor?” Rarity asked

“Though he seems to be lacking in the whole Earth shaking powers” commented Applejack.

Wiz: Raiden has so much power he can even achieve scientifically impossible things, like channeling electricity through insulated wood.

Boomstick: Haha, take that physics!

“No! Not physics!” cried out the purple alicorn.

Wiz: He is one of the most powerful characters in the Mortal Kombat universe, and has successfully defended Earth for centuries. He eventually became the all-powerful Elder God of Earthrealm, but relinquished this power in order to protect the people of Earth.

“He did what?” the group asked.

Godly Powers
Ethereal energy composition
Weather manipulation
Electricity manipulation
Flight
Healing powers
Immortality
Eventually reincarnated after death

Boomstick: Wait, what? That doesn't make any sense.

“He’s right! Why would raiden do that?” asked a confused twilight.

Wiz: While he is an immortal, formless god, he is not indestructible and has limits. In order to fight among others, he must take a form susceptible to mortality.

So he tosses his immortality aside to protect the people of earthrealm.” said Celestia with good amount of respect in her voice.

Boomstick: But he still retains all of his godly powers and is tough enough to effortlessly smash through solid concrete.

“Dang!” gasped out Applejack.

Wiz: Through his numerous success in defending Earth against impossible odds, Raiden has proved his greatest attribute to be his leadership and wisdom in battle. He is a cunning and daring strategist, willing to make whatever sacrifices is necessary to achieve victory.

“Lives aren't just pawn in a game of chess,” said Fluttershy as she gave the screen a weak glare.

Feats
Most powerful Mortal Kombatant
Held off limitless-power Kano
Has mastered 750 varieties of Jujitsu
Was the last man standing against the Deadly Alliance
Defeated the Houan necromancers
Can channel electricity through wood
Went toe-to-toe with Superman
Effortlessly lifted a Plane

Boomstick: Like this guy! That guy! And all of these guys! Raiden: a physical example of sacrificing others for the greater good.

“It’s not the greater good if innocent lives are the cost,” countered Twilight said with narrowed eyes.

Raiden: Hehehe...sorry.

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

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

Boomstick: It's time for a Death Battle!

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

Team Thor: Celestia, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie Pie.

Team Raiden: Twilight, Spike.

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

Death Battle
Thor stands in an empty field. Then Raiden appears in a shower of electricity. Both take fighting poses.

FIGHT!

(*Cues: Liquid Tension Experiment - Acid Rain*)

Raiden shoots two bolts of electricity as he moves away. Thor effortlessly blocks them, then throws Mjolnir. Raiden disappears and Thor's weapon comes back to its owner. Raiden then appears behind Thor and unleashes a combo, then uppercuts Thor in the air where he continues his assault. Raiden then teleports and attacks from multiple angles, managing to stay ahead of his opponent, before throwing Thor to the ground and knocking him away with Vicinity Blast. Thor hits the ground, then stands back up.

“Thor looks like he’s not even hurt,” said an awed Fluttershy.

Thor: Have at thee!

Thor uses Mjolnir to summon lightning.

Thor: Mighty Spark!

He fires a blast of lightning at Raiden, but he manipulates it for his own, and rebounds it. Thor then stops it with Mjolnir and jumps toward a tree, uprooting it, then punches it. It flies toward Raiden, who disintegrates it with a blast of electricity. Thor then slams the ground, summoning an earthquake, which causes Raiden to stumble. Afterward, Raiden jumps, then flies away. Thor accepts it as a challenge, and flies toward him. They rush at each other, and collide, summoning a massive discharge of electricity, but it turns out that Thor has kicked Raiden with both of his feet. Raiden then flies back-first into a mountain wall, but gets back up and starts running.

"I'm surprise that Raiden could get up after that," commented Rainbow Dash. Amazed at the durability the the older looking god had.

"I could only do that when I had all of the Alicorn magic in Equestria and even then I couldn't just get up like it was nothing," gawked Twilight.

Thor throws Mjolnir again, but Raiden teleports away, causing Mjolnir to hit the mountain before returning. Raiden resumes running, then, knowing Thor is coming right towards him, turns around and fires two electric bolts while jumps. Thor knocks both aside and then kicks Raiden into the air, followed by a powerful blow with his knee. Raiden flies downward, first hitting a rock formation with his back, then lands to the ground. But Thor suddenly lands to the ground, causing Raiden to stumble. Thor then grabs onto Raiden, headbutts him, then slams him to the ground.

“He’s making sure Raiden can’t get away and have time to think,” Stated Celestia as she had her eyes focus on every detail.

"It's a brutal but efficient strategy," added in Twilight.

(*Cues: Frost Giant Battle - Thor (2011)*)

He jumps back into a safe distance and summons a tornado. Raiden disappears, and reappears inside the tornado. He fires a barrage of bolts, which catch Thor off-guard, who is unable to block them all. Raiden then uses a huge discharge of electricity, stunning Thor. Raiden teleports to Thor, who is still stunned, but as Thor recovers and is about to attack, Raiden uppercuts him far into the air. Raiden follows Thor and the two clash with a flurry of blows, ending with Raiden grabbing Thor and unleashing his Shocking Touch... which has no effect on Thor.

“At this moment Raiden new… he done bucked up,” Pinkie Pie said with a very soothing voice that could lull a dragon to sleep.

Thor: Away with you!

He slams Raiden downward, who falls to the ground.

Everyone had to wince at least a little at the brutal slam.

Thor: Feel Heaven's wrath!

He summons a massive electric blast to fire at Raiden. Raiden sees it coming, and in the aftermath, has absorbed all of its electrical power. Raiden then flies upward with Electric Fly, but Thor swings Mjolnir below Raiden's stomach, destroying his lower body. Thor grabs takes Raiden above the clouds and throws him upward.

“Whoa!” yelled Applejack at the brutal scene.

“Finnish him!” yelled Pinkie Pie with a crazed look in her eyes.

Thor: Farewell!

The thrown Raiden leaves the earth and flies through space until reaching the Sun. Raiden then melts away, causing a tiny shockwave on the Sun's surface.

Most of the group could only stare at the godly display of strength with everyone almost lost for words.

“Fatality!” laughed Pinkie.

K.O!

Results
(*Cues: Thor (2011) - Yggdrasil*)

Boomstick: That seemed a bit overkill. I liked it!

“And it was awesome!” yelled Rainbow Dash.

Wiz: Raiden is a clever and versatile combatant, but was completely overpowered by Thor's strength.

“Even i can admit that sometimes brawn can beat brains,” Twilight said.

Boomstick: It also doesn't help that Raiden's main weapon, electricity, was completely useless. Add in Thor's hammer and game over.

“It’s like throwing fireballs at a dragon,” Spike commented.

Wiz: Remember, Mjolnir was forged using the core of a dying star. When a star dies, it collapses into a super condensed neutron star. Even the smallest portion of this star can weigh 1,000,000 tons. Raiden stood little chance against a blow like that.

“No arguments here,” everyone said.

Boomstick: Well, at least Raiden finally found his place in the sun.

(cue facehoof)

Wiz: The winner is Thor.

END!

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

After the battle, everyone gathered around the glowing box.

“C’mon box. Let’s see some good stuff today,” Rainbow said, hovering in the air.

“Aw, didn’t you like what we got yesterday?” Pinkie asked innocently causing the others to giggle.

“What, no, I just want to see what we get today,” Rainbow said quickly.

“Settle down girls. The box stopped glowing,” Celestia said, pointing out the now not glowing box. Twilight nodded and open the box to reveal more comics and a couple of hats for everyone.

“Sweet,” Rainbow said, grabbing a few comics and a hat of Thor.

“I wonder if this could go with that one outfit I’m working on,” Rarity said, picking up one of Raiden’s hats. She was trying to see if it could go with the dress that Chun Li inspired her.

As everyone took a few things, Celestia cleared her throat and said, “Goodbye everyone.I will say I had fun and can’t wait for the next time.” She then teleported back to her room and walked over to her vanity mirror. Celestia channeled her magic from her horn into the mirror itself as it started to warp until the image of a man appeared.

“Ah Celestia, it’s been awhile,” A blonde haired man said from the mirror

“That it has and you wouldn’t believe what I just saw,” Celestia said smiling.

“Oh?”

“I saw you and and elder god fight on this show,” Celestia said matter factly.

“Hopefully they got my good side,” the blonde showing off his pearly white teeth with a smile.

“You always ask that, Thor,” Celestia said, rolling her eyes.

“And I was able to use it to swoon you, my dear,” Thor, the blonde, said while laughing heartily.

“Yes, that was back when you had good pick up lines,” Celestia said giggling to herself.

“You wound me my dear.” The blond god of thunder said with a fake look of pain, getting a few laughs from the two but soon a serious look crossed his face . “I must ask how is SHE doing?” Thor asked in a concerned voice.

Celestia had a sad smile on her face and said, “I haven’t seen her for so long. My student has told me that she’s been making friends and enjoying her life for the most part. I just wonder what she’s doing right now.”

“She’s probably having fun with her friends like she should be,” Thor said while laughing.

“I’m sure she’s also causing her own brand of trouble two,” said the white mare with a small smirk.

“HAHAHA! No doubt! She does take after us after all!” laughed the Asgardian.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ at the human world~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In a small family owned bakery on another world, a group of friends sat at a table while drinking their coffees. All except for one person.

Looking at her drink, a red and yellow haired girl asked, “What’s this?”

One of her friends, a bushy pink haired girl, said, “Why that’s a triple chocolate cappuccino, Sunset. Just try it.”

The girl, now named Sunset, grabbed the cup and inspected it. After taking a long sniff, she brought the cup to her lips and downed the hot beverage in one gulp which impressed her friends.

“Well?” the pink haired girl asked.

Sunset just sits there for a moment before throwing her cup onto the floor causing it to shatter. “I’ll have another!!” Sunset said loudly.

The rest of her friends and the owners of the bakery could only sigh as Sunset did this with every new thing she tried.
