Chapter 51: Ice vs Mucles.
The sun was high in the sky above the stadium where the Shadow Tournament was being held, but something interesting was happening in the back as Twilight and her friends were in the locker room as Fluttershy work as hard as she could to heal the trio of enjoyed friends. But on the other side of the locker room, Applebloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle were sitting on a bench as they watched Fluttershy heal the ones they hurt.
"I-I can't believe we did all this?" Bloom said as she was shocked at how much her sister was hurt and she felt awful for what she had done to her.
"Yeah, how could we really do something to them?" Scootaloo asked as she stared at her sister, Dash, out cold thanks to what they did. But as they hung their heads in shame, Twilight walked up and made them lift their heads up.
"Girl's you should not blame yourselves." she said with a kind smile on her face as they looked up at her as she continued, "You three were under a powerful spell that made you three act against your will."
"Yeah, and look at the bright side." Pinkie spoke up and she jumped up in between them as she gave every one a big smile on her face as she added, "You three took on and nearly beat two tough girls and the captain of the Galactic Guardians. You three are very powerful." This made the trio frown as they felt even worse then before and Twilight pulled Pinkie aside.
"Pinkie, maybe you should go and root for Spike and Mac as they might need your upbeat attitude." Twilight said smiling at her friend. Who smiled back at her as she hugged her.
"Okie dokie." she said as she left the room and headed into the hall as she went to cheer for her team. Once she left, Twilight let out a loud sigh before looking at the others.
"Okay, let's get started on t\healing our team." Twilight said smiling at them as she headed over to help Fluttershy.
In the arena area, the crowd were in shock as a badly injured Mac was facing off against a much smaller figure look up at him as he seamed to be shaking. After a few moments of the silence, Koto looked at him and placed her mic against her lips.
"Ummm, excuse me but could you remove you robe?" she asked him, who looked at her surprised for a few seconds before nodding and then slowly removed his robe to allow her, Mac, and the crowd to see him. He was a young man with light grey eyes, shoulder length black hair with blue highlights, fare skin tone, and was wearing a a long grey hooded sleeveless jacket, a blue t-shirt, Black jeans, grey boots, and he has white bands wrapped around his hands. "Ummm, okay and what is you name?" she asked him as he blushed heavily from being asked this.
"S-Shadow. Shadow Storm." he said as he looked at her and blushed heavily as he turned to look at Mac as Koto looked at them both before announcing.
"Alright, let's get started on this next match. Shadow Storm vs . Mac." Koto yelled in excitement as the crowd came to life with cheer as she continued, "And let it begin." Once she said that, Shadow vanish from sight and suddenly appeared in front of Mac as he did a swing of his leg and made Mac block it with his injured arm, which made him wince. Shadow smirked as he used Mac's arms to jump away before Mac could try a counter attack.
"Huh, I thought so." Shadow said as he landed a few feet away and got in a battle stance as Mac panted heavily as he looked at the small man.
"I need to end this fast." Mac said as he tried to focus his magic in his hands and then he chanted, "Guardian of the Solar Princess: Crushing Earth Arm." But then nothing happened and Spike looked at Mac worried as Mac began to sweat. "Shit, I used to much of my bulk magic against Breaburn." he mumbled as Shadow smirked.
"Then let me have a go." he said as he crossed his arms in front of him and he began to focus his magic in his hands before chanting, "Guard of the Lunar Princess: Ice Shirkins." He then throw hit arms out as ice shirikins flew from himand headed for Mac. Who tried to move his legs, but they would not listen. So, Mac crossed his arms in front of him and blocked Shadow's attack the best he could as many of them cut into his arms or stuck in him.
"Mac, what are you doing?" Spike yelled out of concern as Mac was panting heavily and slowly lowered his arms as he glared at Shadow. "What is happening?" Spike asked himself as he was unsure of what was happening to Spike.
"He's tired." Pinkie's voice called out to him as Spike was surprised as he turned around and came face first into her breasts, as Pinkie looked down at him smiling as she said, "That bulk magic wastes a lot of magic and energy. That's why he doesn't use it that often." After hearing this, Spike was shocked as he turned back to look at Mac, who was bleed a lot and could not seam to move from his shop.
"You know what Mac, you fell into my trap." Shadow said smirking as every one gasped before he continued, "Those Shirikins were made of ice and magic. So, now my magic is flowing through you at this moment." This made Mac nerves as Shadow slammed his hands together and began to chant, "Guard of the Lunar Princess: Freezing Temp." And with that finished, Mac began to shiver as he was now stuck in place.
"Mac, move." Spike yelled as he and Pinkie began to get worried as Shadow slowly began to walk towards him with a smirk on his face as he put his hand out flat.
"You did a great job against my teammate, but I'm a bit tougher." he said smiling as he looked at his hand and then looked at Mac, who was worried himself as he watched Shadow come closer and then listened to him as he chanted, "Guard of the Lunar Princess: Ice Saber." Then Shadow's hand was turned into an ice saber and he lifted it up to put the sword in front of his face as he smirked at Mac. Mac began to worry more as he gulped and began to try and chant a spell.
"G-Guardian of t-the S-Solar Princess:" Mac suddenly stopped his chant as Shadow thrusts his saber into Mac's shoulder, causing him to gasp and groan as blood spilled from the stab. Spike and Pinkie were now even more worried as Shadow smirked before twisting it inside his shoulder. This made Mac yell in pain as Shadow pulled his saber out of Mac's shoulder and then he pulled his arm out as he said.
"Nice try Mac, but I won this match." he said as he swung his saber at him.
"Blood Stone." Mac yelled out suddenly as the ground with his blood on it shot forward and hit Shadow clean in the stomach/ Shadow looked down at the attack and then looked back up at Mac before he was sent flying. Shadow soared out of the ring, past his teammates as one had to move their head as he flew by and then slammed into the wall behind them. Shadow, the crowd, both teams and Koto were all shocked from what had just happened as they looked at Mac, who was breathing heavily from what he had just did. Koto looked at Shadow for a few moments before shaking her head to clear it and placed her mic up to her mouth.
"Alright, after that shocking attack, Mac is still standing and Shadow it out of the ring. So I will begin the count." Koto said as she began to count Shadow out. As she was doing her job, Mac continued to breath heavily as blood began to drip from his cuts again.
"Ummm, what just happened?" Spike as he and Pinkie looked at Mac as he slowly turned to look at them and began to smile at them.
"I-I use what little m-magic I had left t-to fuse my blood with the ground a-and made it a-a-att..." Mac suddenly stopped speaking before his head fell forward and he just stood there in silence. As that was going on, Koto continued her counting.
"8...9...10. And it's over." Koto yelled out in excitement as the crowd booed heavily as she continued to announce, "Shadow did not meet the ten count. So the winner by count-out it Mac." She then turned to look at Mac and saw that he was not moving.
"Hey, cat." Spike yelled out as she turned to look at him and so he continued, "Check to see if he's alive will you?"
"Excuse me, sir. But I...oh. You said cat. Right." she said smiling sheepishly as she ran up to Mac and laid her head on his chest, and then listened closely for a few seconds before she gasped. "He has a heart beat and seam to breathing slightly." Hearing this, Spike let out a loud sigh of relief as he looked at her and smirked as he looked at the other team.
"Hey Koto." he called out and she turned to him, smiling at him calling her by her name as he continued, I'll be fighting the next matches. All of them." She smiled and nodded as Spike began to climb into the ring when suddenly the intercome started.
"The third match will began as soon as both opponents are in the ring." a woman on the other side of it said as Spike looked at it confused from what she was saying.
"Alright, let's get this match started." a voice called out from the other side of the ring. Koto turned around as Spike moved slightly to se too. There stood a man with a smug smile on his face as he had green eyes, long, dark blue hair, and a deep tan skin tone as he stood in the ring and was wearing a open black vest, baggy grey pants, waist bands and boots. He had a very smug look on his face as he cracked his knuckles. Seeing him there confused Spike as he looked right at him fro a few seconds before responding to him.
"Give me a second to get in the ring and." Spike began to speak but was cut off by the sound of the match starting, and he and Pinkie quickly look up at the board as it said Soarin vs. Mac. This shock and infuriated Spike as he turned and grabbed Koto by her shirt. He then pulled her down to look at him as he said, "You can't be okay with this, do something.' She looked at him with a worried look as she looked away for a few seconds before she then looked back at him.
"I can't. The officials make rulings, and if I don't listen. They punish me." she said blushing as Spike looked at her for a few seconds before letting her go.
"I'll kill them for this, so don't worry." he whispered as she nodded before walking back into the center of the ring where Soarin was standing.
"Damn, your hot." he said smirking as he slapped her butt, making her gasp and slap him.
"Hands off." she yelled as he chuckled and stood a few feet away from him as she announced, "Alright. Let the third match with Soarin vs Mac. Begin." The crowd cheered on for Soarin as Spike and Pinkie were mad.
TBC.
