Maya landed back on her hooves and smiled. "Nice dodges. Why don't you tell me what you need help with?"
(Pretty sure you meant Maya there. X3) "Well, to be honest, one real problem I've got is figuring out a effective ways to strike without using typical wrestling techniques, save for striking the knees," he replied. "After all, I'm pretty sure I won't be able to suplex that snake king, and it's been too long since I've actually engaged in a genuine battle."
"Gotta try and be quick and precise, too. I'd show you if I wouldn't break something hitting you full force... Maybe there's a generic mook I can demonstrate on."
"I wonder..." Just then, an Earth pony, unaware of the future circumstances happened to be trotting by. Since he clearly had no relevance to the story, he seemed to be open to a beating.
Maya grabbed the earth pony and pulled him aside. "You, dude. Wanna go one-on-one, no DQ, so Blackened here can see how to throw some blows?" "I mean..." The earth pony shrugged. "I guess?" "Great.~ I'll heal you after." After the two got ready, starting the brawl close together, Maya threw a hard hoof jab at his face, sending him tumbling back about twenty feet, and breaking his nose in all sorts of ways. Giving the earth pony no time to recover, she ran over after him, mounted him before he could stand and gave one more blow to the solar plexus, the shock rendering him temporarily unconscious. "See what I did there?" Maya asked, pulling a healing potion and draining it down the earth pony's throat. "Went for a tender spot right away, and acted so quick he couldn't hit me back. Works on most ponies pretty well, especially if they don't have any formal training. Y'know, kinda like ice wraiths." Once the earth pony was healed, he quickly ducked away into the bar, pride damaged. He'd just gotten beaten up by, as everypony knows, a very, very old pegasus.
Rep: (to whoever was nearest him) I'm going to check something. (Once more hiding the Harmony Sword, and forming a Scythe, cleaved a hole through the Universal walls and through the Void and into another Universe, before walking through and having the hole close behind him)
Blackened sat back and watched the fight intently, entertained by her skill. "Wow, you really knew your way around him," he admired as she came back. "Definitely seems like it'd help in the long run. We could spar like that for practice, but I wouldn't feel good about breaking your face."
Silver glanced at Raven's wings. "Tell me, have you ever studied any bat pony techniques? You fight very well, but you fight like a pegasus." He sighed. "I would like to show you something. Hit me. You too, Asmodeus. And you, Nightshade. Attack me together."
"Sure..." Raven bolted at him, aiming her wing claws at his throat. "Got it!" At the same time, Asmo conjured a mass of tentacles and tried to bring them straight down on Silver.
Nightshade launched herself straight over her father and landed behind him, where she aimed a vicious kick at the unarmored back of his knee. ********************************************************************************************************************* Silver's ears twitched, taking it all in. With a small smile, he took a single large step to the side. Nightshade's kick landed perfectly -- on Raven's outstretched wing. The sharp claw sank into the frog of her hoof, causing her to yelp in pain. Right about that time, Asmo's tentacles struck right where Silver had been standing, and where the two mares stood now.
Raven was knocked hard by the mass of tentacles, squeaking and slamming face-first into the ground. "Uuugh... I've seen enough Japonese cartoons... to know where that could've gone..." Asmo cringed as he accidentally brutally struck the mares. "Bucking buck, Silver!"
Nightshade batted the offending tentacles aside, and stuck her injured hoof in her mouth. "Dammid thad hurd!" Silver nodded. "Always be aware of your surroundings, and do not rush into battle unprepared. More importantly, remember to work with your allies. Had the three of you been in sync, I likely would not have been able to dodge your attacks."
"I wanna try again..." Raven appeared to be struggling back to her hooves. "Same!" Asmo swung his still out tentacles for Silver's head. With that, from her grounded position, well below Asmo's tentacles, Raven made a very quick, sweeping kick at Silver's legs.
*Soon, near Dusty, a Scythe blade appeared cleaving through the air, from nowhere creating a hole* Rep: (walking out followed by another entity that was in the form of a small child.)
Dusty raised an eyebrow as he quietly observed the scene. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I think I'd be the one breaking your face," Maya assured him.
