Poor Pinkie. That's a funny burnt face look though.
This is one of those times where in the show I would be asking, "Where the hell is Celestia/Luna/Shining Armor/ANY Royal Guards?" Surely the guards wouldn't just ignore a big ol' punch up with a dude who was trying to overthrow the ruler of the land while also being the leader of the thieves guild. Surely the adventuring party wouldn't be the only ones trying to stop this guy, right?
I should probably have put fireworks or something in the background to justify why the noise doesn't attract attention...
But Celestia knows about Blueblood, so you would think she would send guards to find/follow the party (The Wonderbolts could fly in from the sky and charging attack Blueblood or grab and drag him skyward for a nice bit of skydiving, which is what I built a Pegasus Monk character around :P).
But then again, what fun is there in making sense?

(meta explanation: the GM is fudging die rolls for better story drama this combat).
Or 'this is a test.' Or 'Celestia is lazy and is just going to pretend that this is a test.' Or 'Celestia is taking advantage of the confusion to eat the rest of Applejack's treats'.
How about "What a mess. I'll let my unoffical champions handle it, and if Blueblood proves to much for them, I'll flatten his wing of the castle. Or I'll let Luna have him. I'm sure she's craving some action, and it's just about time for her shift to start."
As to the guards, they're probably assigned to containment rather than capture, presumably to protect the civilians from the fray.

Yeah, the guards are either protecting civilians or keeping more of Blueblood's mooks at bay.
Celestia wouldn't throw her own mooks into a fight between high-level characters.

Or possibly it fits Celestia's grand plans that the party be the one to take down the thieves, so she can continue to seem blind to them while the party's glory is enhanced, much like swords can be sharpened into better instruments.
This is that time when you find out you botched too much in the strong direction and total party wipe.
i notice you're using what appear to be 3d vectors instead of flash screen capture. how is that working out and what software are you using?
The software I'm using is Affinity Designer, but before that I used Inkscape (and most of the body parts and scenery were created in that). I don't strictly trace entire vectors from other episodes, I take individual body parts and build up a toolkit of pieces that I can then put together however I like. (And then I save the poses I've put together so I can reuse them later).
Inkscape is free and Affinity is cheap, so it's easy to pick up if someone is so inclined.

So. We're now in a post-1000 world. What now?
In case you missed it, I posted a FiD-centric vlog starring my face and called it Story Time! 1000.
