  1. >Day Waifu War in Equestria
  2. >This is it.
  3. >You've gone through countless hordes of Sunfags in order to get to this point.
  4. >You even took out that faggot who kept shouting 'Praise the Sun!' and genuflecting to Celestia's perch at every opportunity.
  5. >But now, you face your greatest challenge.
  6. >As you stand on the other side of the arena, you see the smoke begin to billow in
  7. >Wild and formless, tendrils of inky blackness whip about for several seconds before coalescing into a monstrous single-horned visage.
  8. >"CRYSTALS!"
  9. >The stadium shakes as the voice of the former Crystal King sends ponies into a cowering mess under their seats.
  10. >But you stand firm and glare at the giant face.
  11. >It snorts once before condensing into a smaller, more edgy form.
  12. >Great black and red crystal spines erupt from his equine frame, looking like something straight out of the sonic fandom back on earth.
  13. >From her post high above the arena, Celestia calls down to the two of you.
  14. >"Champions! Now begins the final challenge for my love!"
  15. >Both of you turn towards the Princess of the Sun, though keeping a wary eye on one another.
  16. >"You have done well to make it to this point, but this is your last chance to become my hero, along with all that entails."
  17. >It's difficult to tell, but you think she winks at you.
  18. >Sombra makes a grunting sound and the two of you resume glaring at one another.
  19. >Celestia pays no mind as she turns her attention to the far end of the arena and bobs her head once.
  20. >You turn towards the guards stationed there in front of a large, golden-yellow wheel.
  21. >"My little ponies, turn the Sun Dial that we might see what the final challenge will be!"
  22. >One of the guards nods and lifts his hoof.
  23. >Pulling down hard on the wheel, you watch as it clatters about, shaking wildly from side to side as you await your fate.
  24. >This continues on for several seconds, and when it shows no signs of slowing, you turn your attention towards Sombra.
  25.  
  26. "You're going down, blockhead."
  27. >The former king grunts and growls, sneering as he responds
  28. >"Hng, grr, crystals..."
  29. "Heh, dork."
  30. >The stallion looks like he wants to say something else, but the clattering begins to die away as the wheel slows, drawing both of you back to your fates.
  31. >At last, it settles down, and the guard takes a look at where it stopped.
  32. >A hush falls over the crowd as he turns back to Celestia and cries out.
  33. >"It... it's challenger's choice!"
  34. >The ponies begin to whoop up a frenzy, stomping their hooves and whinnying like wild beasts.
  35. >Your heart thuds away in your chest as you turn to Celestia with a big grin on your face.
  36. >The Challenger, that's...
  37. >Celestia meets your gaze with a small smile and bobs her head.
  38. >"Then, Anonymous, as Sombra has participated in these events before, that means you are the challenger."
  39. >The stallion sniffs and snorts, grumbling 'slaves' under his breath, but you really couldn't care about him.
  40. >This is your chance.
  41. >You have to pick your challenge carefully to maximize your ability to win.
  42. >A game that you wouldn't be able to lose at...
  43. >As you close your eyes to think, you can feel the tension in the arena building.
  44. >They're waiting.
  45. >All of them.
  46. >Waiting on you.
  47. >A thin sheen of sweat breaks out on your palms as you consider and reconsider your options.
  48. >At last, Celestia clears her throat.
  49. >"Anonymous, do you have a challenge? Or will you default the decision to Sombra?"
  50. >Nodding your head, you smirk.
  51. "I do. Though I think I'll need to explain the rules to my rival here."
  52. >Celestia bows slightly and allows you to take the stallion aside and explain the rules of the game.
  53. >It takes a few minutes, but after several affirmative grunts, you're pretty sure he's got it.
  54. >Perfect.
  55.  
  56. >Stepping away, you call up to Celestia and the crowd.
  57. "This is an ancient game from my homeworld; with this one game, even the smallest of children can topple the strongest of adults, rendering them weak and powerless!"
  58. >A ripple of excitement goes through the crowd and you can see some of them leaning forward to get a better view.
  59. >You turn to Sombra and give him a smirk.
  60. "It wouldn't be sporting if I didn't give you a chance to walk away before I shame you in front of all these ponies."
  61. >The stallion snorts and shakes his head.
  62. >"Ugn, ragh!"
  63. >Oh well, it was worth a shot.
  64. >The two of you set yourself some ten paces apart.
  65. >You square your shoulders, and Sombra shifts his weight onto his hind legs.
  66. >Bringing up your hands, you watch as the once crystal king does the same with his hooves.
  67. >A single nod and the two of you begin.
  68. >One beat.
  69. >The crowd goes still
  70. >Two beats
  71. >You hold your breath
  72. >Three beats
  73. >Sombra's eyes narrow to pinpricks
  74. >You grin.
  75. "SHOOT!"
  76. >"CRYSTALS!"
  77. >Both of you thrust out one of your limbs.
  78. >Your hand is a flat plane, a salute level with your chest.
  79. >His upturned hoof is decorated with a fine crystal shaped sphere.
  80. >The seconds pass and Sombra looks at his hoof.
  81. >Fear crosses his face as you trot over and place your hand over the ball before leaning close to him and whispering.
  82. "Paper. Covers. Crystals."
  83. >"FNAR!"
  84. >Sombra howls, dissipating into smoke as the crowd roars in approval.
  85. >You take several long bows at each corner of the stadium before turning back to Celestia.
  86. >Finally, it was over.
  87. >You'd won.
  88. >And now, your prize...
  89. >Today was a good day to go up against a species that don't have fingers.
