Changeling Kingdom Final - Spike vs. Thorax

[Jeric 46,834]

The last Wild Card Match of the tournament, one joins Starlight and Trixie, and one goes into the pool. This is going to be a heartbreaker for some. 

 

Who joins team StarTrix?

 

 

CAPTION THIS!

 

 

 

 

 

[Passion 3,478]

Hm. I'm not really fond of any of these two, so I guess I'll vote for the crime against fashion.

[Batbrony 15,994]

As much as I adore King DeerBug, I just gotta vote for my boy, Spike! 

Do you know of any other dragon in the show who has as much swag as this little dude?  I think not!

[Ganondorf8 11,118]

Yet another difficult decision... for other people but not me in this case. I'm going with Spike as he's proven time and again that he has what it takes to resolve an issue--even the ones that he caused himself. Plus... He's the main focus of my favourite episode in the entire series--The Equestria Games--so call me a little bias.

[Jeric 46,834]

Thorax takes an early lead! 

[Frostgage 7,972]

As much as I like Thorax, Spike has earned my vote over the past 8 years. It's gotta be him

Thorax's home field advantage might be too much to overcome. Whichever one goes into the draft pool will surely make a huge impact for another team.

I love them both. So I'm evening out the votes.

[Oleks 1,983]

Oh, Spike, you created a monster! I mean, the character whose fate was radically changed by Spike can beat the dragon now. It feels weird. But Thorax not being on the Changeling Kingdom team feels weird too.

Spoiler

 

But seriously, Starlight, Trixie and Spike will make an awesome team!

 

 

[Denim&Venöm 16,509]

Gotta go with Thorax. He's the more interesting and consistent character, even if the change in his look kinda contradicts the whole message of being accepted for who you are. 

I mean come on, how can you say no to that face? 

That and he has a stronger connection with both Trixie and Starlight than Spike does.

But his new form IS natural like how caterpillars become butterflies. Just look at these fan made cards.

No. The message with Thorax was that sharing mutual love is more powerful and important than deceiving and stealing love. Also, As Starlight says, "A true leader doesn't force her subjects to deny who they are. she celebrates what makes them unique and listens when one of them finds a better way." 

They were always meant to become "butterflies" and Chrysalis was keeping them restrained. Besides, Pharynx kept his colors because it suits him as an aggressive warrior type.

Well, the game is still even. Thorax, Spike, no matter what happens, you're both my friends.

[Lunar Glow 674]

Hm. What a shame that I’m not particularly fond on either. I almost didn’t vote because I dislike both of them probably more than most characters on the show, but I just had to contribute and go with Spike.  Guess he deserves a little love.

[Cash In 21,510]

Uh, this is a rather difficult one to decide. I can tell that other members are experiencing a similar feeling. 

I have to go with Spike on this one, considering that his quirks helped me get into FiM to begin with. 

[Jeric 46,834]

75 votes cast and Spike has a sliver of a lead. It is as close as I suspected it would be.

Wouldn't it be something for this vote to be close to a 50/50 vote?

[Artimis Whooves 1,576]

This was a harder derision than I thought it'd be

[KH7672 1,604]

Come on it's more than halfway over and we've yet to address anypony yet.

Wait, I think it's on now!

Finally!

Hello again, we’re back for the final round!

And it sure has been an eventful time leading up to this moment.  Ooh I’m so excited!

Yeah, eventful…too bad none of them got to see it because somepony forgot to turn the camera on.

Hey, my talent’s prestidigitation remember?  I put on the shows not set up the camera work for them. You could have at least checked.

Ugh, it’s true I can’t seem to get out of the blame for this either.

Awe, who cares Starlight, this isn’t about us right now anyway this is about Spike and Thorax the final match up.  It’s so tense.

I’m tense too but I thought they would join us here…

*huff* *huff* sorry I’m late I had to take care of something first.

Good Spike’s her…ahhhhhhh!

Spike what...what happened?

What? Is there something on my face? I definitely left the mustache at home this time.

N-no it’s just your…

It’s y-your…

My what?!

YOUR WINGS! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR WINGS?!

Oh that...well it seemed better for me to be without them for this competition, you know keep the nostalgia alive, give Thorax a fair shot.

Bu-but you can’t just get rid of them like that can you?

No it’s not possible, even with the crazy rules in play here nothing like this can happen, I mean how?

Well that’s a little more complicated…

Okay that’s it I’m getting Twilight this is too insane she has to see what’s happened. Oh I hope she’s not asleep yet…

Wait Starlight…

[Teleport Sound]

…take me with you. 

This is too much for me to comprehend. I feel like I’m gonna faint…

*tap**tap*

Hey Trixie.

Wait Spike? But I….

uhhhhhhhhhh……………………

*THUD*

Ha ha ha nice one!

See I told you I could occupy them.

Yep, I have to admit I under estimated you for a while there.

Hey, we changelings may be reformed, but deception is still in our nature.

Well you ready for this?

Oh yeah.

Well, now that those two are out of the way we wanted to send out a final thanks before the end.

We thought there was no need to invoke so much pressure from our commentary when the choice is already pressure enough, so this will be our only message to you all before Starlight and Trixie inevitably catch on and take over again.

 GOOD LUCK CASTING YOUR VOTES AND WHICH EVER OF US WINS THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT!

How did you make those images? They're too good. 

[Jeric 46,834]

Spike is slowly pulling away. 

@KH7672 ha. You keep outdoing yourself. 

[Will Guide 21,325]

I love the fact this was close to 50%

[Jeric 46,834]

Fillies and gentlecolts, we have completed the Wild Card round.

finally!
