open Bangcolt Arena! (Fighting/Sol) (RP)

[sonicdashie 120]

LS was still just cruising along a few feet behin RD when she realized thy were getting really close to the forest. 'Uh oh, this means we only have half the race left!' She thought to herself. 'Cmon LS, faster!' She told herself. She picked up a little more speed so she was almost right beside RD.

Both Rainbow Dash and Lightning Strike were a good distance away from Lightning Dust. She was far behind, but not in her eyes. In her eyes, was cockiness as well as pride. The thrill was lukewarm, she was about to make it hot. She smirked and throtttled, within in milliseconds she was only inches behind Lightning Strike.

 

She wasn't going to stop or move, it would risk her chances of winning. Lgihtning Dust nudge the rear end of Lightning Strike, creating some distance between her and the ground. Immediately after initiating contact, Lightning flew under her competitor. She jolted forward creating distance between her and the amateur.

 

She grinned brusquely as she didn't give a damn about her competitors. She would be alright if Lightning Strike fell and broke a wng. It wouldn't be Lightning Dust's fault that they couldn't keep up.

 

Returning from her dip and being uncomfortably close to the ground. Lightning Dust submerged by Rainbow Dash's torso. Lightning gave her a fierce smile that simply told Dash, "You're going down." And she meant it, as she throttled forward, not looking bakc to see if Lightning Strike had been shaken off or even hurt. Honestly, she didn't care. Which would always make her one bail of hay short of a full set.

[sonicdashie 120]

"What the......" She said as she looked down, she was surprised to see the other Pegasus fly beneath her and go past her. "Isn't that kind of cheating?" She asked the Pegasus. 'I have to get past her' she thought to herself, then flew a little faster. 'I don't know if this other Pegasus is friendly or not......because she seems really competitive' she thought to herself

@Star Saber

Truth be told, Sunset Shimmer had no idea where Princess Celestia was, so the answer was a resounding yes. She was also secretly thrilled at the thought of making a new friend here, so it was a win-win in this situation.

 

"Could you please? It's my first time being here tonight, and i'm kinda..."

She stopped, realizing that she had forgot something. Something that was probably important.

 

"Um, sorry. Do you have a name...?"

@sonicdashie 

Rainbow Dash felt the energy finally travel down her to legs, which meant she was ready. She could do...the Sonic Rainboom. It was something that was sure to put on a show, and probably win her the race. Two things she definitely loved doing more than anything.

 

But, she already knew she could win; that much had been obvious from the start. What she wanted, though, was a competition, and to make a new friend. So, she kept it in, though the energy tingled under her skin like electricity, begging to be released.

 

She still wasn't out of this race, though, and it looked like she had some competition. Lightning Dust.

"You've got to be kidding," she yelled back at her technical rival. "I'm going to leave you so hard in my dust, you're going to be spitting out rainbows for eternity. Swear on it!"

She yelled over her back at Lightning Strike, too, not sure how she was doing. She wanted to make sure she wasn't too behind, as well.

 

"Are you alright back there? You keeping up?"

 

-------

 

Really, there was never time when Diamond Tiara took breaks. There were moments when she had free time(which is when she picked on the CMC), but whenever she had a job or something to do, she always stuck to it until it was finished. Goofing off at your job was for losers and blank-flanks.

 

"Uh, sure, i'll keep that in mind. I'd never thought you'd be the type of pony to play pranks," she said distractedly. She was still attempting to dry herself off with the towel, and to little success. She looked and felt like she had just been put through a washing machine.

@,

Blizzard nodded, "Yeah. When I'm not trying to be a hero and I need a break, I just have myself a laugh...or two, or three...or ten. Hahaha!" He laughed casually, as he made the ice sculptures disappear, "Everypony needs to let loose and be themselves. And myself is me being silly!" He said as he started juggling a few ice spheres. He certainly has gotten better since last time he tried juggling.

 

He started to think of something else worth mentioning, as he stopped juggling and made the spheres disappear, "Hey, I remember you saying something about your mom a moment ago. Would you like to tell me about her? Your family seems very interesting, and of course I mean besides being rich. You seem to come from a bloodline of financially amazing ponies, so I kinda wanna know more. So, yeah, what's your mom like? Does she have a business too?"

[Not Yellow Diamond 925]

@,

 

Fluttershy found comfort in knowing Kevin didn't care about the opinions of others; in addition, to finding comfort that he wouldn't crticize her. But that didn't make Fluttershy feel much better. She was still nervous and inaudible as her cheeks turned a light red and she rapidly tapped her hoof against the floor. "Um, well uh," was her response, as she choked to get out her words.

@,

 

Night Tracer understood Celestia's position, not one he had been in before but one he most definitely understood. He didn't mind not receiveing an answer, in fact, he couldn't imagine himself decding upon a matter as such, "That's fine, I understand," he comforted. "It's your question, is it not?" He inquired to Celestia while lifting an empty glass to drink. He then noticed it's lack of a hydrogen and oxyen blend in addition to a nearby waiter or waitress, who still hadn't taken their order. 

 

"I'll have to tell Tavey and Vinyl to up their service as it is not very good," he thought to himself. Then to think if Celestia could read his thoughts just as Luna could stalk dreams. Who knew? Perhaps he'd ask next question. 

[Fractured 2,684]

Diamond Tiara didn't react at all to Ice Blizzard's question; there was barely a change in movement as she continued to towel herself off. However, her entire body began shaking slightly, as if she had been caught out in the rain again.

 

"My mom doesn't have a business. She's not even a part of this family. She's been stuck in a mental facility somewhere in Ponyville since I was a foal, and everypony likes to pretend she doesn't exist. Even my father."

 

She stopped toweling herself off, then, staring blankly at a small spot in front of her.

 

"But, she's there, no matter how much they cover it up. Ponies try to pretend otherwise, but I hear the rumors. About the crazy old mare that snapped after she had her kids and tried to kill her husband. Or me. Or all of us. And sometimes, I even catch my dad staring at her picture, and there are tears in his eye, but he won't tell me why. And nopony thinks I notice these things."

 

She continued to stare at that one spot, but the shivering increased, becoming heavy enough to be visible.

 

"I hate her. I don't even care if the rumors are true, and I don't care who she is or what she looks like. Ever since I was born, she's done nothing but steal my dad's money, hurt his reputation, and make him miserable, and I hate her for it. I bucking hate her."

 

She emphasized the word with raw hatred before she calmed down again. The shivering lessened, but her eyes still remained where they were.

 

"The only reason I even call her my mom and pretend I like her is because of my dad. Because I know he still loves her, and because I know it makes him happy to think that I do too, like we're all this big perfect family or something. But we're not, and I just wish she would go away. I don't ever want to see her in my life. Ever."

 

Diamond Tiara emphasized the word again, although with much less anger then before. She then slowly reached for her namesake, placing it back on her head carefully before quietly beginning to towel off again.

[J.R. 3,183]

@,

Blizzard was astonished. He never EVER figured that a little girl could have gone through so much. And it suddenly hit him like a ton of bricks, "Mother of Celestia.....this girl is something else. No wonder she acts the way she is. No wonder she's not as friendly as most of the other foals I've met. How do I even....?"

 

He was stuck in a trance for a moment before regaining his focus, "Wow. I know almost exactly how you feel. My father was a low-down scumbag who left me and my mom when I was younger. I know I've said it already, but I feel as though I can relate to you in the aspect of being brought up with one parent. To be perfectly honest, I hate my dad, no, he's not even my dad, but anyway, if I saw that motherbucker again, I'd punch the daylights out of him. Stupid ass left? Then he better stay gone."

 

He sighed, "But my mom on the other hoof, she's the only pony whom I have left in this world as far as family. And I'd be devastated if something happened to her. What's interesting, is that my mom seems happy most of the time, but she hardly ever has any time to see or talk to me due to how much she travels around Equestria to sell jewels. In fact, she just left from visiting me, but she wasn't exactly how I remembered her. She always seems...defeated, not having somepony in her life. Which is why, she' so hard on me to find somepony I love, I guess."

 

He walked over to the window near DT and looked outside, "You know, it seems as though we have something in common: We both have grown up with only one parent. But from my experiences, it seems as though that only the tougher ponies can grow up stably with one parent. And you seem like one of those tough ponies to me."

 

He turned his head to her, and explained, "And by that I mean, tough in here..." he said while putting a hoof over his heart, "...and here," he said while pointing his hoof to his head. "Heh. You're alright, Diamond Tiara. You're alright." He said with a smile.

[Fractured 2,684]

Diamond Tiara felt many, many things, and being alright was not one of them. But, she didn't feel bad either. This was the first time she had ever gotten this stuff off of her chest, and it actually felt almost...good. Almost.

 

"Thanks." she said flatly; using the words genuinely felt strange on her tongue, like she was swallowing snakes. "And, I guess it's not that bad being in here with you. I mean, most ponies won't listen to me like you do, because I don't always have the best attitude sometimes. Either that, or they're scared of me. They think i'm going to go crazy, like my mother did..."

 

She double checked to make sure her tiara was on right, moving it back forth until it fit perfectly. 

 

"So thanks, I guess. For listening. And being nice to me."

[J.R. 3,183]

@,

Blizzard chuckled, "Hehe, no problem. I like helping others feel better about themselves. And trust, me you're not crazy. At all. In fact, you're pretty nice. And, thank you. You're nice company to hang around. Glad I didn't have to sit this storm out all by myself. It's nice to have somepony to talk to."

 

He went over and hugged her for a moment, and then let go, "So...does this mean we're friends now...?" he asked awkwardly.

[Fractured 2,684]

Celestia, thought for a bit, then came up with a fun question. Or at least, she thought it was; her love of books ensured that she could while away a day in her own fantasies. Maybe it worked for other ponies?

 

"Night Tracer, if you could be anywhere in the whole of Equis, where would go? And what would you do there?" Having asked the question, she sat back curious. She was actually hoping it wouldn't involve Luna; that would be a tragically easy way out of her answer, and would very well ruin the fun.

[J.R. 3,183]

@,

Kevin was perplexed by Fluttershy's sudden lack of words. As if she was bitten by a snake or something, "Something's definitely wrong. She was acting pretty social up until now. What could have cause a sudden change in her attitude?"

 

"Is everything alright, Fluttershy?"

[Fractured 2,684]

Diamond Tiara stepped back a little to re-organize herself once Ice Blizzard let go; she didn't like being touched all that much. She also thought about the question that she had just been given. Were her and Ice Blizzard friends? She guess she could say she liked him, But did she want to admit it? And what happened when she did? Was this stallion trustworthy, or would he hurt her like her other friends had? All these thought were starting to make her head spin. and she needed a chance to clear it.

 

"I guess? I mean, I don't know. Can I get some time to think about?" she said as she looked up at Ice Blizzard, hoping to either avoid the question entirely or at least to get the chance to sort out her feelings.

@,

 

Ash turned away from Pinkie Pie a few moments after she was done talking. Letting out a low growl as he stared at the ground in contemplation. He muttered to himself, repeating the last words of Pinkie’s speech.  “Give it a chance…”

 

Ash slipped his claws into the pockets of his vest. “You have got to be one of the most… odd, annoying and confusing creatures I have ever encountered… But… you’re nice. I’m just not used to that.”

 

He began to walk away; continuing onwards towards their destination, “Come on, all this water is agitating my cast. There are some small caves at the base of the mountain. It’ll provide cover from the storm until it passes.”

@,

 

“Calibur. Pleased to make your acquaintance Miss Shimmer.” The stallion introduced himself while pulling the large case off his back and dropping it at his hooves. He opened the case and began to flip through files and folders until finally pulling out a, rather poor map of the city. Calibur spread the map along the floor.

 

“Alright… we must be here at the training center.” Calibur pointed out the building they were currently at on the map then slid his hoof across the street to a place labeled ‘Royal Living Quarters’. “Logically if she was in Bangcolt she’d be here. Looks like it’s not that far away.” As he spoke another loud crash and flash of light from outside singled another thunder strike, “Damn, storm’s really picking up.”

"Yea I'm ok, she just caught me a little by surprise that's all" she then realized they must be getting close to 88 mph. "Hey uh, your gonna want to move out of the way soon" she said to the Pegasus that had taken her spot. "I guess soon you'll be able to see my other trick" she said to RD : P Edited August 6, 2015 by sonicdashie

@Star Saber

Sunset Shimmer heard the crash of lightning at the same time that Calibur did, but it didn't worry her all that much. She was one of the few ponies that had no trouble staying dry in this storm, and thus, away from potential lightning strikes. She didn't like to brag, but sometimes, it was nice to have your special talent be magic. Just sometimes.

 

"It's not going to be that big of a problem." she replied to Caliber. Her horn flashed, and suddenly the two of them were covered in a heat shield, a personal invention that moved with the user, radiating heat outside while maintaining a set temperature on the inside. The rain would boil around them instantly, but they would be perfectly safe. And dry.

 

"There's a reason i'm perfectly dry. This will keep us both out of the rain, trust me." she said, smiling at the new pony. She then set her sights towards the outside, and the princesses booth.

 

"Are you ready to leave?"

[Not Yellow Diamond 925]

@,

 

Night Tracer had an response in mind ready to fire, almost to ready, "Lun-," He stopped before turning bright red and sheepishly smiling as the answer, "Luna's Beedroom," would likely get him sent to the moon so he improvised and elected to choose a less risky answer. "Probably...," He begun to think, until the perfect idea popped in his head, "The moon; I'm not sure if you consider it as a part of Equestria but I suppose that's where I'd go. Not saying send me there by any means but I suppose it would be cool," he nervously chuckled and took another sip of his empty glass. 

 

"Really?" Night Tracer muttered as he looked at the glass; disrguntled. He sighed and put it down before refocusing on the question, "As for what I would do there? Probably just write. I know it's simplistic but that's all I want simple. I can at least get that can't I or is that even too much?" He rambled on. only because his cruel writer made an indirect reference to the utter humiliation of commrade Corona de Adamas.

 

Night Tracer then posed another question for Celestia, "How atheltic are you?" He grinned widely, very curious to hear her answer. 

@,

 

"Nyan Danceable?" She laughed hard yet silently, "You're kidding me right, I'm not doing that, dude. I may be crazy but I'm not going to make a fool of my self like that. I'll look like a pansy." She joked, "But as far as a song, I have one in mind. Ever heard of Frame of Mind by Tristan and Marekin?" She questioned half attentively as she threw the shot glass in the air and balanced it on her nose.

"...there are many like you. and most of the time, their fate ends sadly. but only because they choose to have a sad ending. such a thing as 'fate' doesn't exist in this world. we simply believe there is some higher being telling us what to do, and we think that theres nothing we can do about it. but in reality...anything, and everything is possible."

 

-------------------------------------------------

"aw, what? nyan dancing? the thing that anyone can do flawlessly?" he put his hooves up, and did a little version of it while 'tsk-tsking' a beat to dance to. "you wouldn't look like a pasny! you'd look adorable!"

 

he lost his balance, and had to go on all fours again. "but anyways...yes, i do know that song. its a favorite of mine, really. are you saying thats what we should play?"

[J.R. 3,183]

@,

Blizzard nodded, "Why sure you can. I'll leave you be for some time to think." He cracked a smile and made another ice sculpture of her, and put it on the windowsill next to her. "I'll be here..."

 

He then walked over to a different part of the room, and sat down to read his book.

[MozillaToast 233]

Aknor smiled dumbly, "Eh... Sorry if I misinterpreted what you said." He finished off the last of his salad and had a quick drink of water that he'd ordered while she'd been absent. "So, what do you plan to do next with your life? There's a whole list of things I want to do, but what about you? What new experiances do you want to try?" He asked? Hoping he hadn't weirded her out with his quickfire questions. He just wanted to be on the same level as she was with him on how well they knew each other.

After running throuh the nearby charging grounds, chased down relentlessly by the citizens of Appleoosa, Moonbane finally found cover from the mob chasing him. He'd hidden himself in a small undercrop of rocks beneath the canyon that he'd been pushed up to.

After waiting for a while he looked back over the top of the cliff and watched as they walked back to their town.

'Dumb Appleoosians... Bunch of racists...' He thought to himself as he looked over what he'd gotten. A leatherbound tome of a breif understanding of dark magic, a bag of bits and his wingblades. He knew for a fact that the citizens of that town would burn his house down and put up a bounty for him, he had get far away quickly. 'Maybe if I catch the next train before it reaches Ponyville I can beat them there and avoid the bounty until I'm too far away... But where?' He walked a bit further to the next train station at the point between Ponyville and Appleoosa, he kept his brown duster coat and leather hat he had on, slightly tilted over his face and paid the station master and boarded.

The trip was smooth enough and had no conflicts however now he was in Ponyville he had to keep moving. He looked around for inconspiculous places to hide out u til the heat died down. On the corner of his eye he spotted a poster for some sort of fighting club... No arena tournament. Perfect. They wouldn't go that far unless the mob who'd chased him out put up a national bounty, then he'd be in trouble. He paid the nearest carrage the rest of his bits to take him directly to Bangcolt. He'd have to blend in too... He'd have to fight.

[Vae Victis 742]

Tyra dangled helplessly in the air, jaw locked onto the handle of her axe that Lorec had an iron grip on. No matter how hard she tugged and pulled, there was no escaping the minotaur warrior.

"I will not be bested so easily," She growled defiantly, still fuelled with a fiery confidence that she could succeed along with giving Lorec the satisfaction he craved.

 

The minotaur began to thrash about, violently swinging the axe through the air and her along with it. She kept her tight grip on it as long as she could.

Unfortunately, she had not met a being with such strength as Lorec before, and it send her flying into the wall, crashing and causing a cracked indent before collapsing to the ground. She groaned, her side screaming with pain as she struggled onto her hooves, glaring at the minotaur still gripping onto her ancestral weapon.

After having sent Tyra violently flying into a stone wall, Lorec stopped thrashing about with the axe. To him, it may as well had been a war axe from the land where Tyra had come from, and not a full size battle axe.

 

Standing upright once more, Lorec glared at the axe, seeing his eyes' reflection in it. This was a weapon that had served many a worthy warrior, as he could feel a certain... Ethereal power coming from within it.

 

Looking back up at Tyra, he smiled as the aura around him still violently flickered. Slowly walking over to his sword, he dislodged it from the stone with his dominant left hand, albeit with some difficulty. As he did so, his right arm bulged as though it were a creature desperately breathing for air... Something was happening to lorec's body. The toll that was being taken was heavy, indeed.

 

As he dislodged the blade, Lorec brought his arm over his head, and rested the blade's broad side upon his back and shoulders. Smiling at Tyra, he brought the arm holding her axe back, as if he were about to throw it. Which is exactly what was about to happen. The muscles in his left arm bulged as well... This was going to be one axe throw for the record books.

 

With all of his might, Lorec threw the axe directly at Tyra in a manner in which one would likely throw a frisbee. The axe traveled towards her at astounding speeds. Was Lorec really trying to take her head off with such a throw?

Tyra watched as Lorec stared at her axe in his hands, almost as if he could feel the power of her ancestors' warrior spirits dormant within its blades.

She took the time to gasp for air and get some energy back. This battle was taking a serious physical toll on her, but she'd be damned if she embarrassed her clan or her opponent's creed by surrendering here.

 

If she died in this fight, then she would have fallen to a worthy opponent.

 

She watched as his body contorted unnatural ways, like his arm when he picked up his sword. This power he was using was doing something to him, and it could not be good.

 

Her eyes widened as she saw the left arm go behind the head, guaranteeing to symbolise he would throw the axe her way. The second it left his fingertips, she ducked her head down, keeping her helmet up.

 

CLANG!!

 

She kept frozen for a few moments, until she realised she was not beheaded. She looked up to see the axe badly embedded into the rock, almost up to the middle!

Snorting, she staggered onto her hooves and grabbed the handle in her jaw, trying in her exhausted state to yank the blade out.

[Fractured 2,684]

What an odd question. Then again, she assumed it was something that would come up naturally; most ponies she probably sat down all day and never got outside. They were right

 

"Well, as alicorns, our bodies stays at an average physical health at all times. But, that doesn't answer the question." she said, almost absent-mindedly. She then gave it a little bit more thought before trying again.

 

"I guess the proper answer is, not as athletic as I used to be. It used to be I could almost hold a race with Commander Hurricane, and remain on equal footing with my sister in a physical fight. But, unfortunately, hundreds of years of never stretching oneself out takes its toll, and neither of these things are quite true anymore. I'm not as strong as I used to be, Night Tracer; it's a regret, but also necessary sacrifice."

 

It was a sad reality, Celestia thought, reflecting on it, but did it have to be? A particularly fun plan began to move through her head...

 

-------

 

Terra shook her head, flinging drops of water everywhere. For someone who thought he was in the know, Zenru had strikingly little idea what he was talking about.

 

"Is that what you believe?" she asked incredulously. "In a world where the sky could burn at any moment? Where gods and goddesses decide your movements, down to your very lives? Where anypony could die, or even worse..."

 

She was shaking, though it was all but impossible to notice through the heavy rain.

 

"No. If you think there's truth in what you're saying, you have no clue what's going on, and i'm sorry." she said finally, though her eyes never shifted with emotion.

 

--------

 

Trixie had the plan relatively lined up, and knew exactly what she wanted to do with her life. After the events at this city, it had become quite clear.

 

"I think i've had too much excitement already for my age, and this city has been wonderful in showing me that. I think... I want to slow down. No more grand adventures and high energy conflicts or traveling out for revenge after we're done here. Just living normally, working in my shop for a while. Maybe one day, come to the stage in the proper way. That's what I want." she decided, now confident after her last bout with Celestia that that's what she wanted. Trixie was done.

Inside Diamond Tiara's heart, there was a rift; one that had only been opened before a few tragic times, and one that had left far many more marks than and scars than happy endings. It was a rift opened purely for friendship, for the potential to let somepony truly be close to her, and subconsciously, Diamond Tiara was deciding whether that rift would stay open or not. It wasn't an easy decision.

 

Sitting on her side on one of the boxes in the storage room, she rolled over from irritation. She was starting to remember part of why why she didn't make friends in the first place.

As raindrops trickeled from her forehead down her muzzle and onto the ground; splattering one by one. She let out a relaxed sigh in addition to a deep moan. She incoherently strolled with a golden ticket in hoof. 

 

As she lazily approached the dinner hall, she saw a rather odd looking pony; being Naga, out in the rain, trying to get a glimpse insider, "Woah, who are you?" She said to him, "Nice locks," she said in reference to his dreadlocked mane.

@,

Blizzard was getting somewhat bored, having to sit and wait out a storm and not being able to sleep in his own bed. Then again, ge was excited to be with Rarity for most of tomorrow. However, he couldn't afford looking tired.

 

To change things up, Ice stood on his front hooves in a human-like 'handstand' position. And turned his book upside-down on a ice-pedestal at eye level, to read it, "Soooo...bored....."

 

Another bolt of lightning struck outside, and he began to calculate via counting, "1...2--" then came the thunder. "Ugh!"
