The mane six watches death battle.
Chapter 4: Rogue VS Wonder Woman.
Previous Chapter Next ChapterWhen Twilight’s group made their way back from the kitchen they quickly noticed Luna was already in her seat waiting for them. She gave off an air of peace and serenity that had not been there before, and had not been seen by her sister Celestia in years.
“You seem in high spirits sister?” noted celestia with a warm smile.
“Yes sister we- I mean I’ve done a little bit of thinking and I came up with a decision that I am most proud of.” replied Luna with a smile that could match her sister’s in warmth.
The smile on celestia’s face just grew even bigger and warmer in response as she took a seat next to her sister and embraced her in a one wing hug.
The rest of the group could only smile as they saw the two sisters show of affection towards each other. They then proceeded to make their way to their own seats while Twilight started up the last episode for today.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Interlude
(*Cues: Invader - Jim Johnston*)
Wiz: Superheroines. Millions have been drawn to these modern myths of comic book lore.
Spike perked up at the word comic and started to get more excited for the episode.
Boomstick: Or you could, uh, just be drawn to the way they're drawn.
“I have a feeling I won’t like boomstick in this episode.” muttered Rarity.
Wiz: Like Anna Marie, the Rogue…
‘The Rogue?’ thought the group.
Boomstick: ...and Diana Prince, the Wonder Woman.
Wiz: He's Boomstick and I'm Wizard.
Boomstick: And we're here to watch two chicks duke it out! CATFIGHT!
That caused the group to facehoof at boomstick.
‘Sweet~!’ Spike cheered inwardly.
Wiz: It's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills...
Boomstick: And maybe a few other things.
“Sigh… it’s going to be one of those moments.” muttered Rarity.
Wiz: ...to find out who would win... a Death Battle.
“Oh my even mr. wizard is getting annoyed.” noted Fluttershy.
Rogue
(*Cues: X-Men (2000) - The X-Jet*)
Wiz: Rogue has possessed a variety of different powers over the years. For this duel in particular, we will use the most well known version; the original iteration from the comics and television show. Her deadliest weapon is her own skin. With just a touch, she absorbs a person's memories, talents, personalities, and abilities, whether superhuman or not, to use them herself.
Power Absorption
Activated throughout contact
Absorbs memories, talents, personalities & abilities
Temporary transfer
Can use copied abilities
Can be lethal with prolonged contact
“No backstory for her?” Twilight asked.
“Her powers must make her feel very lonely,” Fluttershy said sadly.
“Though I have to say I wish to know how she makes her mane look so marvelous!” pipe in Rarity. Admiring the mutants wild yet beautiful locks.
Boomstick: Too bad it knocks them out cold, and if she holds on long enough, it's game over.
“What a terrible power to be burden with at such a young age.” stated Celestia sadly. Luna also gave the young woman a pitying look.
Wiz: Tenacious foes like Juggernaut can resist it, but in the end, nobody is safe from Rogue's parasitic touch. For every second of contact, Rogue can keep these powers for a full minute. Though sometimes, there's unforeseen side effects.
(*Cues: X-Men Theme - Hard Rock Remix*)
Boomstick: She held on to Ms. Marvel for so long she absorbed her powers permanently. Now, she's got super strength, speed, and near invulnerability. Not that I blame her, though. I'd be holding' on to Ms. Marvel for as long as I could! Plus, then when she's unconscious I could...
Ms. Marvel's Powers
Super Strength ( Applejack liked that.)
Flight at subsonic speed (and Rainbow Dash cheered when she heard that.)
Near-Invulnerability
Enhanced Reflexes
Telepathic Resistance
Seventh Sense
“MOVING ON!” yelled Twilight while covering Spikes ears.
Wiz: She also gained a seventh sense, the ability to unconsciously predict her opponent's' moves.
“Now that’s a mighty fine ability.” AppleJack praised.
Boomstick: But her seventh sense doesn't seem to always work. That or the writers just forgot about it 'cause, uh, Rogue gets her ass kicked a lot.
“So much for a super power.” snarked Rainbow Dash
Wiz: For plot convenience.
Boomstick: And damn, she's got a hot ass.
“What?” Everyone said at the same time.
Wiz: What?
Boomstick: Hey, that counts as a superpower in my book, Wiz! While she's not invincible, she doesn't have any real weaknesses either. She's a classy southern belle, who I'd like to take out to dinner.
“Awww that’s kinda sweet.” cooed Rarity. Finding it sweet that boomstick thought Rogue as a classy lady.
Wiz: Who can fly, lift buildings, and kill people just by touching them.
Boomstick: Never mind!
“Chicken!” mocked the blue speedster.
Rogue: Ain't that enough?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The group had to admit that Rogue was a strong warrior and from what they saw a great hero as well.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wonder Woman
(*Cues: Wonder Woman (2009) - Ending Theme*)
Wiz: To the uneducated nerd, Wonder Woman may seem a cheap clone of Superman.
Boomstick: With Superboobies!
“Uge…” groaned out Rarity while Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie laughed.
Wiz: But in reality, she's a whole different story. Created from earth, born by god's, trained by ancient warriors…
Master Combatant
Trained since childhood
Skilled at armed & unarmed combat
Prefers fists over blades
Best of the Amazons
“Truly a fine warrior,” Luna said
Boomstick: Maker of Wonder Bread! designer of the Wonderbra!
Wiz: Boomstick, that's not true!
Boomstick: See, I can do it to Wiz!
“Hahahaha!!! Good one Boomy!” laughed Pinkie.
Wiz: Wonder Woman is the incredibly powerful and near invincible ambassador of Themyscira, and self-appointed protector of the Earth.
Boomstick: And she dresses like a stripper... a patriotic stripper!
The girls wisely decided to ignore that little comment.
Wiz: Diana Prince has been trained by the Amazons as a master combatant since childhood. She dueled the best of the best for the right to be crowned Wonder Woman. Her unearthly powers are divine, granted by ancient Greek gods and goddesses. From Demeter, she received superhuman strength and durability.
Powers from Demeter
Superhuman Strength
Superhuman durability (resists all but blades & bullets)
Magic Resistance
Enhanced Healing Factor
(*Cues: Justice League - Main Theme*)
Boomstick: 'And you know that bitch Mailman god with the wingy shoes?
Wiz: Hermes?
Boomstick: Whatever. He gave Wonder Woman the ability to fly and move at hypersonic speed.
Powers from Hermes
Flight up to Mach-5 speed
Superhuman reflexes (faster than Superman)
Superhuman speed (VP to hyper-sonic)
Wiz: She was given numerous other powers from enhanced senses, animal rapport, and blessings of wisdom and empathy.
Other Powers
Enhanced sight, smell, hearing, touch, & taste
Multilingual
Increased wisdom
Superior Empathy
Animal rapport
'Other useless stuff'
“She can commune with animals?” questioned Fluttershy. Eyes sparkling in wonder.
Boomstick: Aside from the obvious cannons rested right below her neck, she's got a pretty bizarre mix of weaponry. Her Lasso of Truth is a piece of unbreakable string that, well, makes you tell the truth.
Lasso of Truth
Forged by Hephaestus
Unbreakable
Infinitely elastic
Forces the prisoners to tell the truth
“Now that’s my kind of weapon,” Applejack said, thinking of all the uses she could use it for.
Hippolyta: What other depraved thoughts must you be thinking?
Col. Steve Trevor: God, your daughter's got a nice rack.
Boomstick: Hell yeah, she does!
At this point rarity could only cover her face with her hooves in frustration, while spike patted her shoulder.
Wiz: She uses her tiara as a long range throwing weapon, using its razor sharp edge to slice open her enemies' throat.
Boomerang Tiara
Returns after each use
Razor-sharp edges
Can cut through most substances
“Maybe we should get something like that, sister ” Luna said.
Celestia looked at the tiara with a thoughtful look.
Boomstick: Wonder Babe here uses the Bracelets of Submission, indestructible steel gauntlets forged from the remains of Zeus' legendary Aegis. These babies can block all sorts of attacks.
Bracelets of Submission
Indestructible
Formed from the Aegis of Zeus
Blocks blades, bullets, beams, & other attacks
Can discharge lightning
Wiz: She has persevered throughout the years, fighting a huge variety of foes, even killing the Greek God of War, Ares.
Boomstick: Hear that, Kratos? A chick beat you to it!
The group wondered who this Kratos person was or why the name brought a chill down their spines.
Wonder Woman bashed the edge of the shield down to Mad Harriet.
Wonder Woman: Let's see you smile now!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wiz: Alright the combatants are set. let's end this debate once and for all.
Boomstick: But first, I need singles from my very own stripper, thanks to Godaddy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
\While the trailer played out everyone was discussing about the challenges and who they thought would win.
On team Rogue we have Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Spike.
And on team Wonder Woman. We have Twilight, Celestia, Luna, Rarity, and Fluttershy.
With the teams set, everyone settled back down and let the trailer play through.
Boomstick: Now it's time for a catfight Death Battle!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Death Battle
(*Cues: Rogue's Theme - X-Men vs Street Fighter*)
Rogue is shown flying in the sky. The Invisible Jet descends in background and Wonder Woman flies out. She kicks Rogue in the face, both Superheroines fly down to the ground.
FIGHT!
“Well that escalated quickly…” Twilight deadpanned.
(*Cues: Unknown Theme*)
Wonder Woman throws her tiara at Rogue, runs behind her, and roundhouse kicks her. The kick sends Rogue flying, Wonder Woman then flies after her, kicking her multiple times before dashing behind her again and punching her. She grabs a dazed Rogue with the Lasso of Truth and slams her on the ground numerous times, drags Rogue near her, and uppercuts her in the air. She darts around the airborne Rogue with a flurry of punches.
“Whooowy! She ain't letting up for a second!” marveled Applejack.
(*Cues: X-Men Theme - Hard Rock Remix*)
When she punches Rogue in the face however, she absorbs some of Wonder Woman's powers, she absorbs more of her powers when she takes off her glove and touches her leg. While Wonder Woman breaks free, Rogue strikes her from behind, elbows her in the neck, and sends her soaring with a quick kick combo. Wonder Woman throws out her Lasso of truth again, but Rogue grabs it, tugs it, and slams her on the ground. Rogue flies behind her again and launches her tiara again, but Rogue blocks it, -propelling it back on her head- kicks her in the air and uppercuts her. Wonder Woman stops Rogue with several punches, but her finishing kick is blocked and she is knocked in the air.
“That’s right! Her power works as long as her skin makes contact with the enemy.” realised Twilight.
(*Cues: Wonder Woman (2009) - Ending Theme*)
Rogue flies after her in the air, and is responded by a commotion of punches, Rogue blocks on of them and delivers some of her own, which is later black by Wonder Woman. She is then knocked down to the ground by a dive kick delivered by Wonder Woman. Both combatants fly down to the ground. Woman Woman dashes towards her with a flying kick, but it is interrupted by Rogue, who grabs her.
“Here it comes!” yelled Rainbow Dash.
Rogue: Good night, sugar!
Rogue proceeds to plant a kiss of death upon Wonder Woman's lips, killing her.
K.O.!
Rogue then strikes a pose.
Results
(*Cues: X-Men (2000) - Main Theme*)
Boomstick: Woo-hoo-hoo! This goes down in history as the best DEATH BATTLE! ever!
Wiz: Poor Wonder Woman was more than a match for Rogue, but then she touched Rogue's face.
“And that’s when it was all over for Wonder Woman.” commented Celestia.
Boomstick: Wonder Woman is a trained fighter, so naturally she would strike her opponent's weakest spots, like the neck, stomach, joints and, well, the face.
Wiz: In the end, her failure was a result of her thorough Amazonian training.
“Sometimes it’s not wise to stick to the most basic strategy.” Luna commented
“Indeed it’s always good to think outside the box.” added in Celestia.
Boomstick: And her stripper outfit! Her leg was just begging the be grabbed there. Though personally, uh, I might have grabbed elsewhere.
“... no comment.” muttered Rarity.
Wiz: Wonder Woman's powers may be godly, but Rogue's taken similar powers before, so there's no reason to say she couldn't here. Adding Wonder Woman's strength and speed to Rogue's own power gave her a huge advantage, drastically turning the tide.
Boomstick: A few high flying combos and our favorite X-Girl had Wonder Woman on the ropes.
“Wonder woman just couldn't handle that kind of power.” commented Fluttershy.
Wiz: And with her combined reflexes, speed, and seventh sense, she outmaneuvered Wonder Woman with one fatal kiss.
Boomstick: Rogue sure "made out" in this fight!
Again the group grond at Boomstick pun. Though like always Pinkie Pie was the only one who found it funny.
Wiz: The winner is Rogue.
Boomstick: Next time on Death Battle!
Some 8-bit music starts to play and what we see is a field with strange floating blocks with question marks on them.
A red, mushroom shaped creature with, legs angry eyes and a mouth enter the field. Shortly after, a four legged turtle also enters.
FIGHT!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
‘Well it’s been fun but I bet we can all agree that we need to take a break from the show and get back to it tomorrow.” stated Twilight.
Her statement was met with nods and words of agreement. As everyone parted ways and twilight and spike turn in for the night. The two sisters chose to fly their way back to canterlot instead of just teleporting their.
“So sister, did you have fun with this show so far?” questioned the sun princess. Enjoying the breeze blowing through her mane.
“Oh yes dear sister! Not only was the show entertaining but also helped me in certain things as well.” stated Luna as she twirled in the air. Enjoying this new feeling of freedom.
“I can see that.” Celestia commented with a smile. Overjoyed with the fact that her sister had finally moved on from her guilt. “It was also nice to see a fellow princess do battle like that.” she added in.
“Agreed! It reminds me of the days when you and me did battle against foul creatures and mad ponies that sought world domination.” agreed the night princess. Her eye’s glazed over with the memories of great battle and the taste of sweet victory.
“Those were the days…” sighed the princess of the sun. memories of intense but rewarding battles playing through her head. The two sisters spent the next few minutes flying in silence.
“HELP!!!” screamed a voice. Taking both sisters by surprise and snapping them both from their days dreams. They quickly look towards the direction they heard the voice saw a herd of ponies running through the forest covered in ash and soot.
“What in harmony’s name?…” muttered Celestia. But before she had to think any harder on the strange site, her and her dear sister heard a roar that could rival the sound of thunder. Turning towards the new sound they spotted a small village in the distance.But they also spotted what was causing all of this chaos as well.
For they saw placed right in the center of the small settlement, was a large dragon with sea green scales and large spikes on it’s back leading down it’s tail. From what they could tell it was at least as tall as the ponyville clock towar.
Before Celestia could question further about a dragon being in equestria and attacking her people, she felt her sister lay a hoof on her shoulder. Turning her gaze towards her sister she saw that Luna had a small grin on her face.
“What do you say sister? For old times sake?” the lunar princess ask, pointing at the giant dragon. All she got from her older sister was a similar grin in response.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ( With the dragon.) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“GAHAHAHAHA!!!” bellowed the green behemoth as he let loose another stream of sickly green flames onto another building.
“LOOK AT THE LITTLE PONIES RUN! GAHAHAHAHAHA!!!” laughed the green beast as he knocked down a clock tower with one swing of his tail. But his twisted sense of fun was cut short as he notice something casting a shadow over him.
Looking upwards he spotted two figures descending from the sky towards him and when he focused his sights on them he was able to make out what they look liked, and to his horror he saw that the two figures where the very rulers of the ponies he was just tormenting.
Said princesses rocketed towards the scaled brute. Eye’s burning with fury and horn’s charged with potent magical energy, ready to bring down justice down onto the unlucky villain.
‘Oh shit.’ thought the dragon, right before his world exploded into a symphony of pain and regret.
CHAPTER 4. END.
