"Alright everyone, last episode of the day and we're golden." Flash announced.

"Oh man, I can't wait to see what fierce and awesome episode we're gonna watch! I'm already getting so pump up!" Rainbow Dash raised a fist in the air.

"Me too, I don't know why but I think I'm really gonna like this one." Fluttershy smiled and hugged onto her stuffy Godzilla today.

"Well, time to see what this one is." Sunset smiled and Flash was about to hit the play button.

But then they heard the doorbell ringing which paused that thumb right above the play button and got everyone's attention to their surprises.

"Sunset, were you expecting anyone today?" Flash asked.

"No, Lyra and Sweetie Drop left to do their own things, so it couldn't have been them." Sunset shrugged.

"I'll go check who it is." Sunset got up from the couch and walked over to the door.

When Sunset opens the door, she was shocked to see two older women she and the others know very much, but she wasn't expecting them to come visit her at all just now. The two women standing in front of her are Celestia and Luna, the Principal and Vice-Principal of Canterlot High School.

"Hello Sunset, have you been enjoying your day since school?" Celestia greeted.

"Principal Celestia and Vice-Principal Luna! What are you two doing here?" Sunset asked.

"Please, just call us Luna and Celestia when we're not in school." Luna insisted as they wanted to be on friendly terms.

"Plus, we came to drop off your sketchbook that you left at the school." Celestia showed the sketchbook in her hands.

"Oh, I didn't even realize I lost this! Must've fallen out of my backpack." Sunset shocked as she took the book back.

"It looked like you, Flash, and your friends were going to do something exciting today that I figured you must not have noticed it fell off your bag." Celestia deduced what she can tell from her own point of view.

"That, well, it's something we found after me and Flash told the others we're back together." Sunset said.

"Congratulate on that, by the way. I always knew you two were meant to be together, I was sad about the breakup but now I'm just so happy for you to have come with the true man of your life." Celestia smiled at Sunset.

"Okay, no need to make it sound so embarrassing." Sunset said, blushing.

"How about you tell us what this thing you found?" Luna asked, changing the subject to save Sunset from the embarrassment.

"Come on in, it's best that I show you." Sunset invited the two women in.

"Hey guys, we're having a couple more guess watching with us." Sunset informed.

"Didn't see that coming." Spike surprised.

"Have you told them?" Flash asked.

"I said it was best to show them what we got from a mysterious package that came from another dimension." Sunset answered.

"What?!" Luna and Celestia gasped.

"Are you sure you're okay? Nothing bad happened when you got this package or any evil magic slowly taking over you?!" Celestia asked over worried and protective of Sunset when looking at her closely.

"I'm fine, I promise. And the show we've been watching is pretty damn cool, you two should watch it with us. If you're okay with staying here for a while." Sunset offered, blushing a little.

"Oh, is Sunset feeling shaken for momma Celestia." Rainbow Dash teased and earned a pillow to the face by Sunset.

"Well, I suppose we can spare a few moments of our time to see what you've been into now." Celestia decided to stay for a while.

"Only because she is so worried about her precious little Sunny girl." Luna teased her big sister earning a pouty face from her.

"Well, grab a spot and get ready to be blown away by the might of Death Battle!" Flash gestured to the empty spots on the couch.

"Pardon me, Applejack." Rarity moved herself to sit on Applejack's lap which she didn't mind.

"I don't know why, but I'm already feeling so excited!" Luna smiled as they sat down.

And with finally everything has been settled and two new people join to watch the show, Flash press the play button and the next favorite episode starts.

Wiz: Some of the greatest heroes of all are shunned by the very people they continue to protect.

Boomstick: Basically, the worst deal ever.

"Can that really happen to people?" Rarity asked.

"There are plenty who try to do so many good, but they would get shun as well despite their good deeds." Luna explained.

Wiz: Like Beast, the blue genius of the X-Men.

Boomstick: And Goliath, the gargoyle who gives new meaning to the phrase "tough as stone." 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.

"Okay, so this is a kind of show where they put two fictional characters to fighter each other at their best and see which one of them can win. Sounds interesting." Celestia commented.

"Wait until you see the fighting part." Rainbow Dash grinned.

"Also get to learn some stuff about the characters, their abilities, their lives including the bad ones." Applejack mentioned.

"I hope it's not gonna be like Guts, that was messed up." Spike said, feeling a bit scared.

Beast

Wiz: Mutation. The key to evolution. The process is slow, normally taking thousands of years, but every few hundred millennia, evolution leaps forward.

"I would love to see what the next evolution for humanity will become." Twilight interested.

Boomstick: If that means we're all eventually going to transform into blue, hairy monkey men, count me out!

"Same! Too much blue would clash against my looks." Rarity said.

"I would mind being furry." Fluttershy smiled.

Wiz: Feared by most normal people, mutants generally begin to show signs of their... uniqueness around puberty. Not so for Hank McCoy.

"Aw, what a cute baby with big feet and hands!" Pinkie adored the picture of baby Hank.

Boomstick: Yeah, the instant he popped out, it was pretty clear that something was different about him. Namely, the giant monkey hands and feet. Ooh, that must've been rough on the way out! He better give dear old mom double the presents on Mother's Day!

"I doubt she would want bed in breakfast served by his feet." Luna stated.

Wiz: Though Hank successfully hid his mutation from the world throughout his adolescent life, he was eventually discovered and shunned. Constantly harassed, and eventually kicked out of his own school, he was left to wallow in loneliness.

Boomstick: Until good old Wheels showed up and offered him a place on the mutant group known as the X-Men. Hank took on the nickname that was previously used to degrade him, and transformed it into something new, his codename: The Beast.

"At least he found a place where he doesn't have to be ashamed of his mutant gifts." Applejack relieved.

"I don't know, something tells me Hank doesn't want to be a mutant for long." Sunset suspected.

"But you gotta admit, the code name is so badass that I'm jealous!" Flash excited.

Background

Henry "Hank" McCoy

Height: 5'11"/1.8 m

Weight: 402 lbs/182.3 kg

Six doctorates, including biophysics (Twilight amazes of this)

Teacher at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters

Member of the X-Men, Avengers, Defenders, & Illuminati

Likes Shakespeare... a lot (Luna interested)

Boomstick: As an X-Man, Beast became an integral member of this uncanny team. His superhuman strength, speed, and durability let him go toe-to-toe with baddies like the immovable Blob and Kraven the Hunter!

"I'm more interested in his doctorates, maybe he could help me and Sunset research on our magic." Twilight believed.

"I hope he doesn't mind if I pet his fur." Fluttershy said with her cheeks blushing a bit.

Wiz: But Beast was a genius, like yours truly, and quickly completed his doctoral studies. Eventually leaving the X-Men, he became a leading researcher in mutant genetics. Desperate to "cure" the mutant phenomenon, Beast developed a serum, which he theorized would temporarily counteract the mutated genes in his body.

"Called it." Sunset said, crossing her arms under her breasts.

"But I fear that his "cure" will only end up making his mutation grow more." Celestia said, feeling a hunch.

Boomstick: Except, it kind of did the opposite. Poor guy, now he truly was a beast. His transformation wasn't all bad, though. Fuzzy Beast could now lift over ten tons, run over forty miles per hour, and jump over twenty-five feet in the air.

"Called it." Celestia said, crossing her arms under her breasts.

"(Honestly, those two.)" Luna thought smiled, seeing how similar those two are being right now.

Abilities

Genetic Atavism: Superhuman strength, speed, stamina, durability, agility, reflexes, dexterity, & senses

Enhanced senses

Improved healing

Claws & fangs

Genius intellect (Twilight smiles for that)

Strength increases when enraged (Fluttershy scared of that)

Wiz: He also had a wicked healing factor, which made him essentially bulletproof, but this was nerfed dramatically from healing instantaneously to over a couple of hours when Quasimodo's experiments turned him blue.

"Well, that's gonna be harder for the guy when he's in a serious fight." Applejack pointed out.

"But couldn't he figure out how to reserve the experiment to get the instant healing back?" Rarity asked.

"Maybe he tried but could reserve the damage." Luna guessed.

Boomstick: For a scientific genius, he never did quite figure out how to turn back to his old self. I mean, he's been able to turn into a cat-man, a horse-man, blue Kelsey Grammer, and even Sasquatch. Somehow, he always ends up as his classic, blue ape self.

"I think the look is great, especially the blue color." Luna smiled.

"But that would also mean he won't be able to hide his mutation self any longer." Pinkie pointed out.

Wiz: Now unable to hide in plain sight, Beast had little choice but to return to the X-Men as a teacher and a leader.

Beast: As my research makes evident, it is possible to enhance the intelligence of Mollusca cephalopodan, such as the squid, to the same level as that of the average human. Even a little... above average. I'm afraid I must leave early, so I'll hand you over to my new teaching assistant, Mr. Cephalopod.

The class giggles and then laughs out loud.

Mr. Cephalopod: (into a microphone) Calm down, everyone! Now where were we?

The class is stunned.

Mr. Cephalopod: Ah yes, the neurological aspects of cognitive intelligence, were there any questions?

The viewers are also very shocked to see a little squid is talking into the microphone showing high intelligence, and Twilight is squealing of wanting to know how the squid is able to have that kind of intelligence to assist a class as she has lots of questions.

"I don't think I'll eat sushi again." Sunset whispered to herself.

"He's still silly looking." Pinkie giggled.

Feat

Taken hits from Juggernaut & Hulk

Effortlessly rips through metal

Smashed a tank with bare hands

Defeated Frenzy & Danger

Survived the vacuum of space

Moved a 60+ ton tree of gold (Applejack impressed with that)

Cured blindness

Made a squid super intelligent (Twilight wants to know that)

Boomstick: Beast isn't just a genius, he's also a ridiculously strong fighter. He has survived hits from the Juggernaut, smashed open a tank with his bare fists, hit the ground with a punch so hard, he created an earth-shattering shockwave, and lifted a solid gold oak tree!

"I bet I can lift that golden oak tree myself." Applejack bragged smirking.

"Like how you wanted to lift the school during winter break?" Rarity recalled with a teasing smirk, that made Applejack blush.

Wiz: A cubic foot of gold weighs approximately one ton. Comparing the diameter of the tree to Hank's height, it's reasonable to believe that this golden tree weighs at least sixty tons.

Boomstick: Or a "shit-ton", to be precise.

"Not a real measuring weight, but you might not be wrong there." Twilight agreed slightly.

Wiz: Despite his athletic skill and enormous strength, Beast is a pacifist, preferring diplomacy over fisticuffs. He is rarely eager to enter a fight. In combat, he usually relies on his teammates to throw punches while he holds back to come up with game-winning strategies using his brilliant mind, like the time he figured out how to use Juggernaut's own bulk against him.

Beast: As Archimedes said when he discovered the principle of displacement... "Eureka!"

"That word never gets old." Sunset commented.

"It's also nice that he doesn't like violence much since he wants to help mutants get along with the normal people." Fluttershy said.

"Do you think that'll happen to us if more people knew about our magic?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"That all depends if you wish to continue hiding them or not, and that's all on the people themselves of how they will come to this." Celestia stated and Luna nods.

Boomstick: But when he gets angry, he'll enter a rage which makes him so uncontrollably fierce, he's a danger even to his closest friends, literally unleashing the beast within.

"So much for the peaceful guy." Rainbow Dash commented.

Wiz: Beast's monstrous appearance remained a permanent part of his life. He was never truly accepted by society, and even had to leave the woman he loved for fear she would become a target of mutant haters.

Boomstick: But if he could have his way, he would spend his days hanging from the ceiling with a nice cup of tea, reading Shakespeare. But we don't always get what we want, so he'll have to settle for kickin' ass!

"It's a shame that Beast couldn't have the life he wanted, I just hope he'll find a way to make the most of what he has right now." Luna said, feeling bad for Beast.

"I'm sure he's doing fine with the X-Men." Celestia assured.

Beast: "With faint heart, averted feet, and many a tear, in our opposed path to persevere." A minor poet for a minor obstacle.

Beast jumps up grabbing some pipes and start getting cross above some laser security systems on the floor.

"His poem sure sounds smoothing." Luna smiled.

Goliath

Wiz: One thousand years ago, superstition and the sword ruled. It was a time of darkness. It was a world of fear. It was the age... of gargoyles.

Boomstick: And badass cartoon intros!

"I hear it to believe it." Flash interested to find this intro later.

Wiz: Stone by day, warriors by night, gargoyles used to be common throughout the world. Like the stone statues they inspired, gargoyles were known as protectors. Guarding their home and those inside were always their top priority.

"Bodyguards for your home, now that's badass." Rainbow Dash commented.

Boomstick: It's not every day your garden statue is also your top-billed bodyguard, otherwise, I'd have a shitload more lawn gnomes!

"That would definitely help keep burglars away from stealing your items and such." Celestia said.

Wiz: In the year 994 A.D., a clan of gargoyles formed a symbiotic relationship with the humans of a Scottish castle. Using their superhuman strength, keen senses, and warrior spirit, the gargoyles defended the castle from invaders at night. In return, their human allies would watch over them during the day, when they are most vulnerable, as gargoyles turn to solid stone in daylight.

"Nice to know there are some mutual trusts between the two races." Sunset said.

"But I fear it may not be all that trusting between them." Celestia stated.

Background

Height: 6'/1.82 m

Weight: N/A

Age: 1,066 (66 years experienced)

Birth year: 918 AD

Leader of the Manhattan Clan

Mentored by Hudson

Energized by absorbing solar radiation in stone sleep (Celestia and Sunset felt proud for some reason)

Likes Shakespeare & Dostoyevsky

Boomstick: The gargoyles were led by Goliath, a creature with a voice so sexy, it makes humans turn to stone. If you know what I'm sayin'.

Goliath: You are trespassing.

Hearing that voice cause all the female within the room to shiver from their spines and felt a tiny bit of pleasure from that, Flash and Spike are confused of what just happened.

Wiz: Unfortunately, due to their beastly appearance, Goliath's clan eventually faced unjust prejudice from the very humans under their protection.

Princess Katharine: We are most seriously displeased to allow beasts in the dining hall.

Magus: These are unnatural creatures. No good can come from associating with them.

"Sheesh, say it like you dare care if the gargoyles are there?" Applejack rolled her eyes.

"I hope nothing else goes wrong for them." Pinkie concerned.

Boomstick: If that wasn't bad enough, Goliath was betrayed by his closest human friend, causing nearly his entire clan to be smashed to bits. Then the few who did survive were magically sealed in stone forever by a misinformed wizard. Talk about a shitty Monday.

"Dang it, I just had to jinx it!" Pinkie cursed herself.

Wiz: Sealed in stone forever, or until one very specific, seemingly impossible criterion was met.

Magus: The terms of the spell were that they would sleep... until the castle rises above the clouds.

"Oh please, like he actually means a flying castle." Rainbow Dash said.

Wiz: And when he says 'above the clouds', he means it literally. So, stone they remained for a thousand years, until, in 1994...

"Okay, that was something." Rainbow Dash surprised.

"Were there flying castles in Equestria, Sunset?" Celestia asked.

"No, not that I know of anyway. Just normal castles on the ground and mountain, but Princess Twilight did tell me about an underwater castle." Sunset explained.

Boomstick: Some billionare with a name that sounds like an anti-depressant just happened to be crazy enough to try something. Xanatos moved every last stone of the ancient castle to the top of his New York skyscraper, which happened to poke above the clouds.

Wiz: The cost of which must have been astronomical!

"Okay, no flying castle, but that is still crazy!" Rainbow Dash surprised.

"Almost crazy as a monkey dog challenging all of Heaven!" Pinkie commented.

"The what?" Flash confused on that.

"Don't wanna spoil for the future Death Battles we'll see." Pinkie winked at the Fourth Wall.

Xanatos: Don't disappoint me…

Goliath wakes up from his statue state to the surprise of Xanatos and roars with his clan awakening as well.

"Now's what I call a big wake up!" Spike excitedly.

Wiz: The curse was broken, the gargoyles awoke once again, and Goliath was tasked with leading his clan into the modern world. Despite being completely out of his element, Goliath adapted surprisingly fast.

"Gotta learn your new surroundings or else you might be in a world of confusion and making a fool of yourself." Luna stated.

Boomstick: You mean he was texting and watching cat videos in no time?

Wiz: No, this was the '90s.

"The 90s, it was such a fun time for us in those days." Celestia smiled.

"Young, hip, and ready to live life to the fullest while believing we can change the world." Luna chuckled.

"I would like to hear some of those stories someday." Sunset smiled at Celestia.

"Me too." Celestia smiled back.

Boomstick: Oh, so he wore crazy colored clothing and used nonsensical description words like "bodacious", "radical", or...

Goliath: Jalepeña...

Lexington: Jalapeña...

Broadway: Jalapeña...

Brooklyn: Jalapeña...

Elisa Maza: Jalapeña...

Goliath: Jalapeña...

Hudson: Jalapeña...

Broadway hands Goliath a jalapeño pepper and he eats it, to which he shortly is overwhelmed by its heat.

Goliath: Jalepeña! *echoes*

Boomstick: Damnit.

Rainbow Dash and Pinkie started laughing of how those gargoyles are using a word for food as a catchphrase, even the others are finding this to be funny though Celestia thought it was cool.

"I think I remember using food as a catchphrase for some time." Celestia recalled.

"Except the "Oh, cheese!" thing was not working, and she was forced to stop." Luna explained to Sunset.

Wiz: Turns out, Goliath was naturally suited to traverse the broad expanse of the city with his enormous wings. Though, to be clear, Goliath insists that he can't fly; only glide on the wind.

Boomstick: Which I insist is bullshit. What else would you call what's happening right here, other than friggin' flying?

"I think it's because with how the wings are made to flip by folding them, thus giving himself more airborne flight in the sky if he wants to get higher altitude." Twilight explained.

"I believe so too." Fluttershy nodded.

Wiz: Regardless of wind direction and speed, it seems Goliath has no trouble "gliding" wherever he wants to go. He only has issue taking off from the ground, requiring an elevated point to start from.

"It is important to know how high one must go in order to take off." Sunset said.

"Maybe I ca "glide" my way to eating sweets in the air." Pinkie joked.

Abilities

Gliding

Superhuman strength, speed, agility & durability

Enhanced senses

Immune to cold & heat

Stone-like skin

Sophisticated intellect

Strength increases when enraged

Boomstick: Good thing he can scale giant skyscrapers from ground level without breaking a sweat. Goliath is strong enough to lift a car, create a small earthquake, and tear through steel with his bare claws like it was wet paper.

Wiz: He's fast enough to keep pace with foes who use rocket-powered flight, and he's tough enough to survive a fall over one hundred feet.

Boomstick: He was even able to keep "gliding" after being shot by a Nazi plane's machine gun while fighting in World War II. He traveled through time, it was weird.

"This guy went through time traveling, now that's just bragging." Rainbow Dash shocked.

"I remember how my pony counterpart explain about timelines traveling, I'm still trying to wrap my head around it." Twilight recalled that talk upon first meeting Princess Twilight.

Wiz: Goliath may look like a brutal monster, and he certainly can be when he goes into a rage. However, he's actually rather clever and wise.

Feat

Caught a blade in his bare hands

Ripped through 2 feet of steel

Survived multiple lightning strikes

Outsmarted Oberon

Survived a direct hit from an anti-air cannon

Punched through ice several feet thick

Survived being shot down by a Messerchmitt warplane

Wiz: He was able to outsmart Oberon, who is practically an all-powerful magical god, and when Goliath's not leading his clan into battle, or struggling to have a relationship with a human detective...

Boomstick: Boundaries!

"Hey! Love has no boundaries, neither for genders nor creatures!" Applejack protested as she hugs Rarity onto herself.

"Oh Applejack, always the country girl sweetheart." Rarity smiled and kissed her forehead.

"Guess that goes for ponies and humans." Flash chuckled and kissed Sunset on the cheek.

"Lets' not make this any weirder than it always is." Sunset said.

Wiz: ...He's usually holed up in his castle's library, reading.

"Libraries, the many places you can find knowledge and a place to relax with some quiet atmosphere." Twilight smiled.

Boomstick: Wise and powerful, Goliath is a true force of nature... for twelve hours of the day.

Wiz: Right, the other twelve, he is a motionless stone statue, making him a pretty easy target. Even when he's awake, Goliath often puts himself in danger for the sake of others, regardless of the risk.

"The mark of a true leader." Celestia commented.

"Couldn't agree with you more." Sunset smiled.

Boomstick: Hey, he's managed to survive for over a thousand years, and believe me when I say, you do not wanna be on this gargoyle's bad side.

"I certainly don't." Fluttershy nodded.

Goliath: My name is Goliath, and I belong to no one.

Halcyon Renard: Stop whining!

Goliath: A gargoyle doesn't whine. He roars!

Goliath's eyes turn white, and he easily tears off the metal gate that had imprisoned him, then swings it into two robots nearby.

"His roar could put lions to shame." Luna impressed with that.

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

Boomstick: It's time for a DEATH BATTLE! Giant swords, yeah!

"Thos two have interesting catchphrases from the start and here." Luna commented.

"Just be glad you didn't have to listen to any of Boomstick's pervert talk." Rarity said.

"Shut it, the battle of the night is starting!" Rainbow Dash excitedly with Pinkie eating up some popcorn.

In daylight, the sun slowly begins to fall as Goliath is frozen in place on the rooftop of a building as Beast stands further away on the same roof. Eventually, the sun sinks, night falls, and the moon emerges. With that, the stone around Goliath begins to crack.

"Odd place for Beast to be in right when Goliath is about to wake up." Flash pointed out.

"Perhaps they do this to for the combatants to notice each other for the battle." Luna theorized.

"Whatever the case, it's about to get beastly from here on out." Fluttershy said.

Goliath breaks free and roars. Shortly afterward, he senses someone near him... and turns toward Beast, who prepares for a fight.

Goliath leaps at Beast, but is caught by him, slammed into the ground, bounced upward, slashed twice, then forced to the ground once more.

"Good start with the defense." Rarity commented.

Goliath breaks free by striking Beast with his tail, leaps into the air, then strikes with a slash. Beast punches him soon afterward and leaps into the air.

Beast: Prepare to be thrashed.

He flies at Goliath like a cannonball and kicks him, causing him to hit the ground, then fall off of the building.

"Whoa! How did he do that crave move in the air like that?" Sunset asked shock.

"I don't know! Wiz and Boomstick never mention any of this during the analysis, were they holding out on us until the fight?" Twilight asked, shocked as well.

"But you do have to admit, it was pretty cool like a flying acrobat." Celestia believed.

In mid-fall, Goliath uses his wings to slow down his descent, but Beast lands on his back.

Beast: Runt!

Beast punches him three times before Goliath forces the two into a nearby building, knocking Beast off of him while also managing to grab onto the building with his claws. Beast managed to do the same as Goliath begins climbing up the building. Beast roars and leaps upward, managing to strike a few times before Goliath counterattacks. Goliath then leaps upward and glides straight into Beast, who then proceeds to bite Goliath and then grabs onto him, causing the two to spin in mid-air before striking him downward.

"Bet it's gonna be a hard landing for Goliath." Pinkie said.

"The vertical building battle was cool, like they were defying gravity for a moment there!" Flash amazed of that part.

Goliath crashes into the pavement below as Beast lands behind a parked van. Shortly after Goliath gets up and roars, Beast grips onto the vehicle.

Beast: Come on!

"Let see if Goliath can catch that ride." Celestia joked making Pinkie and Flash laugh a little.

He then pushes it straight toward Goliath at high speed, who stands his ground and stops it shortly after being pushed back by it. Goliath tears the front cover of the van and tosses it at Beast, then proceeds to leap onto the van and off it. Beast leaps forward and manages to tear the front of the van in two, to which Goliath glides toward him and slams into him.

"Looks like Goliath used the moment Beast would tear through that van part to his advantage." Spike noticed.

"Consider they appear to be almost even in strength, Goliath knows he has to overwhelm him first." Twilight stated.

"Yep, and it looks like Beast is done for now." Applejack nodded.

Beast rolls upward and toward the ground uncontrollably as Goliath gracefully glides behind him, then slams into him once more, holding him down while also dragging him across the pavement. Goliath slashes at Beast, drawing blood, then slashes at him nine more times. He then impales his arms into Beast, then tears them right out, separating the top half of Beast from his bottom half. Goliath raises his wings and bloodied hands, then roars.

Beast's dismembered body lies in a trash can while Goliath makes it to the top of his tower, bloodied and all, while carrying Beast's disembodied head as the sun rises, turning him to stone.

Boomstick: They never show ya that shit on '90s cartoons!

"Pretty sure there were, but Celestia didn't let me watch them until I was a little older." Luna glared at her big sister.

"I didn't want those kinds of things to distract you on your studies." Celestia tried to defend herself.

Wiz: Beast and Goliath were pretty even in terms of strength and speed (Twilight: Knew it), making this more so a battle of wit and experience. Beast was always more of a team player, preferring not to fight directly unless absolutely necessary.

"Yeah, he doesn't like fighting much since he feared it could bring out his anger and hurt others." Flash recalled that explanation.

Boomstick: And since Goliath spent decades defending his ancient castle and New York from vikings, thugs, magic beings, and ghosts, his combat experience trumped Beast's.

"But wait, I thought Beast was at least a little stronger than Goliath with that golden tree feat." Rarity puzzled.

"I don't think it was whole tree from where I'm looking." Applejack believed.

Wiz: Also, be careful not to misinterpret Beast's golden tree feat. While it might sound far more impressive than anything Goliath has done, Beast did not actually lift the whole 60+ ton tree off the ground. It's nothing surpassing his usual feats.

"Guess that means they are even." Spike nodded.

Boomstick: And one time, Goliath got nailed in the back by an anti-aircraft round. That's right, Goliath got shot by a gun designed to destroy airplanes, got back up, and dropped a radio tower on the fools that tried it.

"Ouch, bet he's gonna need a massage after that." Rainbow Dash exclaimed.

"Now that I think about it, I don't think Beast would have the stamina to last against Goliath for 12 hours." Celestia realized.

Wiz: And Beast didn't wait until sunrise for an advantage for two reasons: One, he didn't know what would happen, because gargoyles in his universe don't share the "stone by day" rule, and second, Beast isn't tough enough to stand against Goliath for twelve hours straight. Finally, Beast has fought somebody similar to Goliath named the Griffin, and only survived the fight due to his fellow X-Man Angel's help.

"Guess he should've thought about making himself more prepared for this kind of battle." Luna sighed.

Boomstick: In the end, Beast just didn't have the heart to keep up with the gargoyle.

"Oh, that was a bad pun." Celestia flinched from that.

"Yep, Boomstick just keeps on making those puns in every episode." Sunset nodded.

Wiz: The winner is Goliath.

"So, what do you think?" Sunset asked the two older women.

"It was amazing, such thrilling combats and seeing characters going against each other at an all-out battle even throwing their morals away! I don't usually enjoy those things of deadly thing, but that was really fun to watch!" Celestia answered excitedly.

"Yes, and the two hosts were unique for being so different from each other yet were able to come together to again the ultimate question of who would win! I must see more!" Luna demanded loudly and dramatically.

"You're welcome to join us tomorrow or whenever you're not busy with work." Sunset offered.

"We would love to." Celestia smiled.

And with that, everyone got up and left home for the day to continue on with the rest of their day to themselves. Celestia was stopped by Sunset who grabs her hand.

"Hey, I… I never got the chance to thank you for helping me back then, when I used to be… you know." Sunset said.

"It's fine, I just saw a girl with great potential needed help to find a place to sleep in and a place where she can express herself." Celestia smiled.

"I'll admit, I was saddened when you left my house and became mean to everyone. I always feared that it was my fault for letting you go on that dark path." Celestia said looking a little sad.

"No, no, it wasn't your fault. You did the best a motherly-like woman like you would do, I was just a bitch for being like that." Sunset admitted.

"Even so, I'm glad to see that girl again and being with true friends helping you stay on the path of light." Celestia placed her hands on her shoulders.

"I'm glad to have friends like them, and Flash being by my side." Sunset smiled, and suddenly pulled Celestia into a deep hug.

"And it would mean the world to me if you can be in my life too. Like the mother I never truly had." Sunset smiled, feeling tears of joy coming out.

This struck Celestia to the core upon hearing those words and she smile with tears also coming out of her eyes, she returns the embrace and the two share a touching moment with Flash and Luna watching this close by.

"You better treat Sunset right or else Celestia will burn you into the sun." Luna warned.

"I will, I promise." Flash nodded.

KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!

The episode of the beasts was something that made me feel that I should be proud of having an inner beast as a part of me! I also decided to make a special one for Sunset and Celestia as they both seem like mother and daughter which is cool since today is Mother's Day! And you'll bet there will be a lot more Celestia and Luna coming.

Next Death Battle is going to be a sneaky one with a death of silence.
