@Unicorncob, 

“Ha! No way! If anyone’s going to quit, it’s going to be you!” she shouted drunkenly at Tyra. “And you’re a… a… Krigire!” she said just as loudly, turning to Lorec. She picked up her third glass, tilting it back. Then the alcohol hit her, with all the subtlety of her own Sonic Rainboom.

 

“I’m…” she started, then stopped, a cold feeling traveling up her body. She was no stranger to alcohol, but this stuff hit harder than Sombra’s ghost. She clutched her stomach, letting out a strange half-moan, half-groan.

 

“I’m… gonna go… give you guys a chance to catch up. See ya!” she said, hurking on the last word. She made a quick dash out of her seat and making a beeline for the bathroom. She would be there for a while.

 

“That’s one down!” Applejack laughed as she watched her leave, secretly making a self-promise to check on Rainbow when this was said and done. For now, though, she was on her fifth drink, and she was having too much fun to stop now.

“What about you two? Y’all bowing out now, too?” she asked, a playful smirk in her eyes.

Having just woken up, and expecting to see Lektra, Trixie was more than a little surprised to see a pony fully decked out in armor walk into her room instead. She backed up to the headboard on the opposite end of the bed out of fear, only calming down once she heard Lektra's familiar voice.

 

“I’m feeling better. At the very least, better than I would have been. The doctors said there was nothing wrong physically, but that the impact against the wall had somehow threw me out of magical alignment with myself. Those sparks that were coming out my horn? That was my mana building up on itself. If I had kept going, I probably would’ve shorted out my system and lost my magic permanently.” Or, the more unsettling option the doctors had given her: a sudden release of all the pent up magical energy at once in a magical overload. It would’ve killed her, but not before leaving everything around for a quarter of a mile her a smoldering crater. She decided to leave that part out of the conversation.

 

“Which means you probably saved me by carrying me here. Not only that, you left your machine here to check on me, and you even came back here to talk to me when I woke up. You didn’t have to do any of that. I guess what I’m trying to say is…”

 

She stopped, hitting a mental block. It was the part of her that constantly screamed at her to always be larger than you are, and to never humble yourself to anypony. The part that needed her to be Great and Powerful. She fought through it.

 

“…Thank you,” she finally finished, eyes shining. After a few seconds, she decided to add “except for the fight thing, let’s not do that again!” she said, laughing to try to ease the tension. She bumped milkshakes with Lektra in a silent agreement, before she turned to her food and began to eat.

Sleight Mist stepped off of the hospital bed, flexing each of her sore legs. She shouldn’t have been at the hospital, but apparently, cuts, bruises, and a mild case of hypothermia was enough to require an overnight stay. She had smirked at that; they should have seen the other guy. Last she had checked, they were still thawing him out.

 

She gave the nurse a courtesy and informed her that she was going to leave, before turning out to head for the front doors of the hospital. Before she walked out, though, she heard a familiar voice, layered over a voice that she had never heard before. Curiosity began to settle in like a swarm of parasprites, and she could hardly resist. She began to walk towards the door.

 

She walked inside. “Hey, Lektra,” she said with a grin, surprisingly cheery despite her overnight stay. “Sorry, probably should’ve knocked, but I couldn’t resist."

 

She turned to the second member standing next to her, giving her a nod of acknowledgement before speaking. "I'm guessing you're... Rarity, right? You're famous; I heard you do amazing things with dresses and gemstones. Nice to meet you.”

 

It was then that she locked eyes with the third pony in the room. as she stared, she adopted a quizzical expression. Though she'd never seen this mare before, she felt familiar…

 

It was only when she saw the burnt hat and cape inconspicuously tucked away in a chair at the back of the room that she put two and two together. Her eyes widened slightly.

 

“…The Great and Powerful Trixie?”

rebilac stiffened when caliber's name was mentioned. and getting clotheslined only made it that much worse.

 

he flipped upright, and kicked electron right between the eyes.

 

when electron fell backwards, rebilac grabbed his forehoof, and yanked him back to himself. he delivered a hard headbutt to the same spot he had kicked him. 

 

"wheres caliber?!" he asked, though gritted teeth, "is he here?!"

[Unicorncob 5,694]

Strix squawked as he took the electrified uppercut, flinging him into the air. He rubbed his chin and contemplated pulling out his gun, but not yet. Killing someone would make things more awkward than they had to bed.

 

Instead, he dove down like a shot, grabbing the darker pony's skull and driving it into the ground before delivering a kick to Electron's gut.

[J.R. 3,183]

@@Unicorncob, @,

Electron fell to the ground. To avoid more pain he then put his hooves up and shouted, "HOLD!" He then gets up and walks slowly over to them both as he coughed up a little blood, "*coughs 3 times* Ahem. Ok to answer your question gray dude. I don't know where he is now, but I did last see him watching the fights in the stands. Anyway, I think we'd all make a great team. We'd be unstoppable as everypony who sees us coming would run like crazy, because of how much fear we can put into them. You both seem like great dudes and you're pretty strong, we could help each other achive their goals and such. We could wreck everypony who stands in our way! So whaddya say? Wanna team up guys? "

Lightning Strike had had enough, she had to use her secret move, a big storm cloud appeared above her. "I said... ENOUGH!!!" Lightning flashed behind her, causing her eyes to appear white (much like princess Luna's from the nightmare night episode). "WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH ALL OF YOU?!?!?! OVER REACTING TO THE TINIEST THING!!!"

[P-Jay 1,987]

rebilac backed off a little. "so, he's here, eh?" he mused. "ill have to prepare..."

 

"oh, dont go painting yourself gold." he said to the new mare, that was trying to intimidate him. 

 

he looked at electron grudgingly. then at the griffon. "eh, might as well." he said, "as long as you two help me kill caliber."

[Unicorncob 5,694]

Strix held back his assault to hear Electron out.

An alliance, was it? Well, he did say having some backup around here would be helpful, and these two certainly could hold their own, at least for a bit.

 

He sat and crossed his arms, nonplussed by the other pegasus's little lightning show. "You done, sweetheart?"

 

He turned his attention back to the others. "Alright, if you two can think you can keep up with a badass griffon like me." He smirked down to them.

 

And he just had to kill this 'Caliber'? Cub's play.

[J.R. 3,183]

@, @@Unicorncob, @@sonicdashie,

Electron was enthused, "Alright! Team Trifecta is a go!" He then turned to Lightning Strike, "I'm sorry little missy, but don't get involved in a guy fight. Why don't you go home and play with your dolls before you get yourself killed out here. I mean it, it'd be in your best interest to back off while you're ahead."

Meanwhile, Wilhelm was walking by on his way to the small laboratory he had set up near Rarity's workshop. It had all the latest scientific equipment courtesy of his winnings, and he casually hummed a song at least slightly more cheerful than his usual opera as he trotted along. He had several orders to fulfill by tomorrow, though not as many as the veritable line that stretched out of Lektra's door. Well, unlike her, I work from cold, hard, reliable science, not untested, volatile magic, Wilhelm thought, with a mixture of pride and irritation. Every customer that came to his door would get their money's worth for longer, and arguably, for less money. Still humming, Wilhelm came along the fight in the streets, and his hoof immediately drew his sword from its scabbard, flowing directly into a seamless defensive stance. His eyes narrowed behind the glasses, instantly taking in every combatant on the battlefield. Projecting an air of casual carelessness, Wilhelm said "Oh, what do we have here? A party, I see; scumbag-only invitational list."

[Little Red 1,529]

"Oh come on!!! You can just sit there and do nothing. You gotta move around. Not that you can do much of that now, but still...." Green moved closer. "I wanna know what you can do, Red, please don't deny me a fight." He stayed hovering near Red charging his sword, which was now giving off a low hum and glowing like the sun.

Well. Now she knew at least one weakness... he was impatient. After a moment, considering whether to grant his wish or not, she sat down and began examining her hoof, saying nothing.

She was going to play defensive and play patient. Try and draw more weaknesses out of him, if he had any more.

"Dolls?" She said slightly annoyed. "Do I look like I'm 4?" "Listen, I'm not your average mare, I'm not into doing girly stuff" "but I guess I'll back off of your dude fight" "just don't get upset if someone gets killed" "she walked back over to her spot and sat down to watch

Green sighed. "Well, Red. I just don't know how to reach you...wait...I might know how to reach you after all." Green flew higher up still charging his sword which was now giving off a louder hum than before and glowing brighter than it was before. "Little" he let the word sit as he said it louder than the rest of her name "Red. I like that first part now. Little. Little little little." Green had a plan and that involved her making a move. He didn't want to electrocute her, pop the raft, or slice her up without her making a move first.

Blizzard was still at the training grounds. He was sitting on top of his ice pillar high in the air, doing nothing but sitting there and thinking, "........Stay cool, stay calm, stay focused, stay alive......." He did absolutely nothing except sit there with his eyes closed, in his Maverick thought pose, and think. "......I know I'll do awesome today, I just know it......."

Kazas listened with honest fascination as they walked together, listening to every bit of Darkrai's description of herself. When she finished, he would oblige her interest. " Self-Taught! Those usually do tend to be the best styles, as you're the only one that knows said style, of course. I'm slightly like that too, except, well... I don't exactly draw the power of the flame naturally. You see, I'm what you'd call a ' pheonix knight '. The sword in my possession contains within it, a soul of a Pheonix Lord, a powerful progenitor and subspecies of pheonix who grant divine flame and healing. His name is Ezerepth, and he has protected my family for generations, and in exchange, we protect him. Our symbiotic bond allows me, the physical vessel, to call forth the divine flame as if I myself were a great pheonix, along with the gift of healing the wounds of others. Though, at a cost. But fortunately, due to... An experiment that my ancestors performed nearly eight centuries ago, along with the fact that our souls have been feeding off of his power for as long as our line came into possession of the blade that houses him, we can pay quite a price and still keep going. As for fighting, I study the journals of my ancestors, as they have passed on techniques through text and teachings, as I will for whichever child takes over the family business. Ha ha! But, that's just on the side. I'm an ambassador for Leovia, a Griffon Empire-state over the Eastern Seas. And don't worry, relations are good, especially as of a few years ago..."

 

It was clear that he enjoyed life, and was quite happy, if under some duress due to his family being overseas. But then, he remembered something.... Something. A faint flashback. The Leovian contention. P.O. W. he had heard that before. During those times. Or did he? No, it had to be his mind playing tricks on him. He would not bring back the grief of those times. It was a new day. And the past needed to stay in the past.

 

" anyways, it's very nice to meet you. I'm sure we will find your friend. I might as well look for a friend of mine as well, when this is done. So, why do you seek to make this pony stronger? I'm sure there is a good story? Prehaps a friend, or an ally from old ventures?"

At this point, Lorec could start to feel the drink affect him. He was much more loosened up, but with somewhat of a small headache occurring. He had been drinking at the same pace as the others, not to be outdone. When Rainbow Dash had called him Krigare and ran off, he simply threw his head back and laughed.

 

" ha ha ha! Damn right I am a warrior! A warrior that can hold his own in drink and fight! Now, do those who are left wish to keep going, or are you all going to give up like your friend? C'mon, I'm a hunter, but I do not challenge toothless prey!"

 

He said. He was having a great time. Even though his stomach was starting to wrench a bit.

[Little Red 1,529]

Green sighed. "Well, Red. I just don't know how to reach you...wait...I might know how to reach you after all."

He didn't want to electrocute her, pop the raft, or slice her up without her making a move first.

And he seemed to have discovered her fatal weakness. Her eye began twitching, and suddenly, her vision turned red and she couldn't think. She had suddenly jumped up, kicking off the ground hard, not thinking straight. She slashed at him in a quick flurry of blows, throwing one dagger after another at him.

[J.R. 3,183]

@,

Darkrai was hung upon the griffon's every word. She was deeply interested in his past and began to think once again about her own. After which, she snapped out of it and answered his question, "That's a very interesting past you've got there. As for this kid, well, you could say that I wish to see what he is capable of.....to say the least. I've been told by many a traveler that he once went into Tartarus with his friends and came out still alive with all of them. Plus, his grandfather was in the Equestrian military, and I've met him before in my operations. Although once I realized his grandfather went missing, I felt that this kid had lost a mentor. So I plan to try and fill that position for him and train him. But anyway, like you said, we're sure to find him here. But if you need to find somepony too, I'd hate to impede your search progress." She then removes the top part of her cloak to reveal her green eyes and red and white mane before saying, "I like you. You're a great guy who likes to get things done. Maybe when you have time after I find this kid and you find your friend, would you like to get drinks together, so we can talk more?"

"It worked!" Green said as he started to focus. "Alright Green time to fight." He said to himself drawing his sword which was glowing brighter and brighter by the second. "Just a little longer.", he thought to himself. He started flying up higher so she couldn't reach him alf slashing away at the knives as they flew towards him. He saw an opportunity. He shot a medium sized bolt at the raft, causing it to pop, and another at the water. He started charging his sword again, with half its charge gone it might not get to the point he wanted as quickly.

rebilac looked at the new guy, who was saying some insulting things. "huh?" rebilac took a good long look at him. then pulled out his bounty book. he flipped to a page, and looked at wilhelm. then back at the book. then back at wilhelm.

 

"well, looks like you did some pretty heroic stuff, wilhelm de winter." rebilac said, as he looked at the book. "and it seems some ponies arent too happy about that...you got a thousand bit bounty. which i intend to collect." rebilac shut his book, and glared at him.

 

then he started slowly unsheathing his sword.

Electron scoffed and looked right at Will, "Scumbag? Ha! The only scumbag around here is the poor bastard right in front of us, who apparently doesn't know his place. But I guess now...*charges himself up* we're gonna have to put you back in your place for you."

"Really." A smile played on Wilhelm's face. "I invite you to try that sometime later, but I'm not here for you. I'm here for your friend." He gestured in the direction of EWS with the tip of his sword. "I'm afraid he's been a smartass to the ponies I like too many times, so I'm finally going to send him back to the hospital, where he'll stay for a very long time. I would ask whether it's okay with you, but I couldn't care less."

[J.R. 3,183]

@,

"Greetings to you Rarity." I tended to be formal on first meeting, and a bit repetitive. "I have read the records on the adventures of you and your friends. I wasn't aware you knew of me." I was honestly surprised. "I am sorry about the noise. I'm kinda loud when I move stuff around, though it was actually louder for me probably." But she moved straight to examining my suit. "Thanks. Magitanium which is a subset of Titanium. Yes I made it and enchanted it. It took a couple of months. As you know, good crafts take time." I answered her questions, but she moved on to Trixie. "Uh, we kind of had a misunderstanding. I thought she was still bad and we fought. I won, but that's not the point. I hurt her and I don't feel too good about it cause it was a misunderstanding pretty much." I explained with a half smile, half frown. I was about to send my armor back to the Dangerous Invention Vault when Trixie spoke.

 

"Whoa, really? But I kind of also caused that in the first place after you blew up my milkshake, so I'm sorry about that. But yea definitely let's not fight again except for Arena battles." I really was about to send away my armor when we had another visitor. It was becoming uncomfortable in here. Kind of crowded even. I shuffled my hooves around, feeling the crowding and trying to get over my shyness. I had to get out of here. Just not comfortable here. I willed my armor to come apart and go back back home through the open window, adjusting to the change in view and closing said window.

 

She looked like she was had recovered from something too. "Oh, hello Sleight. I didn't realize you were hurt too. I didn't do that as well, did i?" Trixie on the other hand seemed to be recovering nicely. "Do you two know each other? I should probably go soon. I have a match coming up with Ice."

Rarity was amazed by her armor, "That's amazing! And about the noise, it wasn't a big deal darling, I'm sure you were hard at work. And I sure hope Trixie recovers. From last I checked she wasn't all that bad. So she should be alright. Although I can't imagine what might've led to something to hospitalize her." She noticed Sleight Mist address her, "Yes, I am Rarity. Nice to meet you too, Sleight Mist? I heard the princess shout your name when I watched your fight. You're pretty skilled from what I gather." She then turns back to Lektra, "Blizzard mentioned that to me earlier. I can't wait to watch you fight. I'd love to see what that armor of yours is capable of in a battle!" She also noticed Lektra's uneasiness and made a subtle exit, "Well, I must get going as well. I have more orders to fill and I plan to watch your fight with Blizzard later. Hopefully Trixie gets better soon. Goodbye everypony!" Rarity said as she began to leave the hospital.

@Orion Caelum

As Wilhelm finished talking, there was a light cracking noise. Immediately over his head, a doll with abnormally large wings and a long, brilliant horn appeared, as if he had summoned it himself somehow. It appeared to stare at the ponies in front it, before gently floating onto Wilhelm's back, where it spread its wings over him defensively. The message was clear: Do you need help?

-snip-

 

"No, I don't know her, but... I do..." Sleight Mist said, ignoring everything around her as she struggled to find the proper words. Coming up with nothing, she took the direct route. "Trixie, you're my idol!" she said excitedly.

 

"...huh?" Trixie said from her bed, not having seen that coming at all. She had never met this mare in her life.

 

"I'm sorry, uh..." Sleight Mist said, thinking she might want to start over.

 

"My name is Sleight Mist. I'm a traveling freelancer; I run around Equestria doing odd jobs and working on my magical skills. I want to be the best unicorn mage Equestria's ever seen. That's my goal," she said, more than a tiny hint of pride buried in those words.

 

"And that all started because of you, Trixie. I heard about how strong you were at magic, and how amazing your adventures were, and I wanted to be like that. So I did, and you were right; it's incredible. I haven't slain any Ursa Majors yet, though, like you have," she said with a grin, "but i'm working on it."

 

There was a gaping pause, one that would normally be filled by laughter. Instead, there was only an uncomfortable silence. Trixie didn't say anything, simply looked down, a pained expression etched on her face.

 

"So... what are you doing in the hospital?" Sleight Mist finally asked, looking around at the small room. "Whoever put you here, i'd hate to see the other pony," she said, laughing as she made a light jab at Trixie.

" Surviving the nine fathoms of what is described as the ultimate prison.... Remarkable! I wonder... If he encountered the Azure Terror.... Oh, but look at me, mumbling to myself! Don't worry, I'm fully content to help you look for the boy. My friend isn not actually a pony, but a Minotaur... And a big one at that. He can handle himself. And I appreciate the compliment, miss Darkrai. I do my best, even if it isn't enough at times. May I say that in turn, you have a very kind heart for caring for him. To be perfectly honest, I did swear off alcohol after a hilarious incident, but I think I can make an exception. To be truthful, I like you as well.

Darkrai started to feel conflicted once again. She had never felt friendship much before, and in truth she wanted to actually hunt Blizzard down, having the idea his grandfather took her parents from her. But being with someone friendly has actually helped her consider her choices. "Thank you." She said simply. She wasn't about to let her true intentions get swayed, but she was still on the fence about it. She thinks to herself, "I'll just keep it a secret and make it seem like an accident." Then she says aloud, "I hope to find him as soon as I can. And your Minotaur friend sounds nice too. Tell me more about him."

"I fear you have been proven wrong, friend!" She declared.

 

Though, much like Lorec, the drink was beginning to affect her as well. She felt much looser and a little light-headed, but she was far from out.

 

"So that is what that word means!" She yelled, pointing a hoof to Lorec, "You called me that before! Thank you, fellow Krigare!"

 

She punched her hooves together, sneering with confidence. "Bring on the next drink, I am far from finished!"

Strix Hellbeak

 

Strix perked up at the darker pony's declaration towards the new guy, who was approaching them with a sword while running his mouth.

 

"A thousand bits, you say?" He smirked, pulling out his revolver and pointing it to the new pony, "Yeah, that reward is mine. Nothing personal, pony-boy."
