So, it's been 9 years since I stumbled on this ridiculous show/fandom.

Since I'm in copyright purgatory, how about a celebration of this anniversary with a rejected concept?

I put (relatively) too much work into this video graphics for a shitty parody idea, LOL. After learning from my mistakes with the Rainbow Factory "a capella" I knew this kind of playing with song structure was cringe and threw it away.  Instead, in November 2013, I did the vastly superior "Name of Strife" parody instead.

I think the lyrics had something to do with Fighting Is Magic getting C&D-ed or something. It was a half-assed way of supporting the cause, probably would have done a BananaCast on it today to greater effect instead. But they had their good end with Lauren's help and the new characters.

Anyway, after 7 years in my "recycle bin," enjoy this...

Note: (have no idea where I got the instrumental, sorry, it was some Karaoke YT channel)

LYRICS:

Welcome ponies.  You 17 have been chosen to battle for your right to represent the Seventh Realm in a grand tournament, the winner will claim glory and fame throughout the universe, but should you lose your world will fall.  Only one of you may ascend, so choose your weapons wisely and pray to the Creators, for the weak do not survive, they are cast out.  This is no mere game, this is Mortal Kombat!

 “Fight!”

Alien gods threaten all of our lives
Lift up your wings and fight the good fight.
Shatter the ground that keeps them upright.
Blow them away with friendship’s light

Match their villainous eyes with your stare
They think that ponies are too weak to bear
Come on, let’s show them just how we fare
Beaten by a group of mares…

This is our world, we won’t let it go.
By the sun and moon, we’ll overcome you!

They threaten our essential right to life
That our very existence is a blight
That we will be destroyed under their might
Well not today, we plan to survive

You think we’re scared?  Well then, come over here
Kick you in the head until you disappear
You think we’re weak?  You must be new here
It is elementary my dear.

Though you laid the land and formed the earth,
These castles we’ve built are ours not yours.

They’re ours…
Not yours…

To the edges of the world and to the sky
We can grow this universe to the end of time

Allied
We shine

Our creativity is not a crime
From grand operas to the little rhymes
Our civilization is in its prime
Pick up your shovels, this is our time

Forget control, we’re not launching a coup
We love the land and care about the roots
Even the goddess wants to see us through
Think of the things that we could do!
