Chapter Fifteen: The Power of Harmony
Silent Wind looked at himself and saw a golden gauntlet on his hooves. He raised his right hoof and saw an reddish-orange and green apple-shaped gem. Which was the gem of Honesty. He looked to left hoof and saw a blue gem that looked like a balloon. Which was the gem of Laughter. He then saw three gems on his Chestplate. A red thunderbolt-shaped gem, a purple diamond-shaped gem, and pink butterfly-shaped gem. All of them representing the elements of Loyalty, Generosity, and Kindness. He then took off the heavy helmet off his and saw a magenta star-shaped gem, which was a star. It represented Magic. He putted the golden helmet back on. At that point, he saw that his whole body was glowing pale yellow and emitting off a aura which was surrounding his whole body. He also saw he was still wearing his bracers as he could feel it with his once-silver coat and he saw his cloak around his neck also and saw it was flowing as if there was wind.
Discord and anypony who was conscious saw that he was emitting a large aura field that was huge. Discord who was in complete confusion could not understand what was happening before his very eyes. He putted a hoof to his head and began to shout out.
"How..?!! It makes no difference!!" Discord flew at Silent Wind shot an aura blast at him. Silent Wind saw a face mask form and levered his right hoof the left and swunged it to right at the moment the aura blast was close enough and deflected it. Discord was shocked as it was impossible to deflect an aura blast that dense. Discord then saw Silent Wind open his mouth and breathed deeply and blew out a wind blow. The wind pressure by the Wind blow was so powerful that it propelled Discord back into the walls of the throne room. Discord was beginning to get frustrated, he did not know what had made the Elements of Harmony come together and form an amazing power for Silent Wind. His frustration was able to get better of him as he made a chirping lightning on his hand. Silent Wind was able to recognize it as an explosive lightning that radiated an area of lightning the moment it hitted the ground. He looked to his left and right and saw Rarity and Fluttershy not far from him. He knew they too would get hit also. The moment Discord threw the lightning bomb, Silent Wind grabbed both Rarity and Fluttershy with his given magic abilities and hopped over the other side and brought them to the opposite side of the large throne room and dropped them carefully on the ground.
"Th..-Thank you.. Silent Wind.." Fluttershy muttered.
Silent Wind smiled and patted Fluttershy on the head.
"No prob, just stay here and lay down." Silent Wind looked up at Discord with his Shade-Silentblade eyes but it was now white-black eyes.
"I don't feel any difference other than just feeling stronger. More stronger. I can't drag this out though I have got to end this as soon as possible!" Silent Wind flew up and began to cast a physical push spell. Discord was able to dodge the physical push but that was only a diversion. Silent Wind clapped his hooves together and teleported behind Discord so quickly that Twilight didn't even see a small aura blink at where he once was. Silent Wind drew one of his blades as the gauntlets he had were gauntlets that had small slots for his hidden blades. Silent Wind pulled back his left hoof with the drawn blade and swung at Discord's head. Discord dodged by lowering his head and pulled away from Silent Wind when he swung his other hoof to lay a punch on his face. Discord saw Silent Wind raised his right hoof and saw a large hammer at the hoof which was conjured by Silent Wind's aura, seeing that he could form his aura in anyway he wanted which was amazing ability he had, he saw it as an opportunity to smash Discord down. He then swinged down his right hoof down toward Discord and Discord was about to hit the ground and as he was falling but was grabbed by the stretching aura hand that Silent Wind quickly made with his aura and launched Discord back at him. He then brought the stretched hand back into a part of his aura and flew at the launched Discord and slammed him down with his forearm with devastating speed and strength. He then sheathed his left blade.
Discord shakingly tried to get up from the broken ground, but Silent Wind teleported near him and placed his left hoof on his neck. Making him unable to rise up.
"Looks like the strong one is now the weak one." Silent Wind then began to form his aura all around his right hoof and Discord began to cough.
"Whatever you may say... you better be grateful to The powers of the Elements of Harmony.. for they will not save you another time..!" Discord hacked. Twilight crawled closer to hear what they were saying more clearer.
"I've seen.. so many things you've done.. they're unforgivable. You've killed so many ponies with your magic. Hurted ponies around me. Hurted mares and certain stallions alike, but.. worst of all.." Silent Wind began to sound more angrier. He raised up his right hoof up as he was about kill Discord with the destruction of his punch with increased destruction with all of his aura made into one big hoof.
"..You hurted the Mare I love, You hurted my Twilight Sparkle!!" Silent Wind roared as he swunged his aura-contained hoof into Discord's chest and made an even larger destroyed floor. Twilight looked at Silent Wind as he had an anger-filled expression on his face. The destruction of the punch was enough to instantly kill Discord. Silent Wind then collapsed after that and panted. His body began to completely white and he turned back to his old form and Twilight heard the Elements of Harmony fall on the ground. Silent Wind soon stood up, looking fine. And walked to Twilight and lowered his head.
"Are you okay, Twilight?" Silent Wind said. His hoof he hitted Discord with was bleeding.
Twilight grunted as she stood and wobbled slightly but was able to keep her balance. She ran to Silent Wind to heal him and most of all, hug him. Twilight ran at Silent Wind and threw her arms at Silent Wind as she hugged him. Silent Wind hugged with his left hoof and embraced his Marefriend once again.
"I'm fine.. just worry about yourself.." Twilight hugged Silent Wind tighter and so did Silent Wind. Silent Wind looked over Twilight's shoulder and saw both Lily Blade and Silent Whisper stand up and move near the couple. Silent Whisper was beginning to glow. Silent Wind broke the hug with Twilight and went toward his brother.
"You're... going." Silent Wind said.
Silent Whisper nodded. He was still resurrected and knowing that Discord had died, the resurrection spell was beginning to wear off every resurrected Pony that Discord brought back.
"Yes, my work here is done.. before I go, I'm going to give you a gift." Silent Whisper putted his hoof on Silent Wind's forehead and Silent Wind felt something go inside of him.
"You're giving me your guardian power?!" Silent Wind tilted his head at his brother.
"Yeah, I hope that it will help you more than it has helped me. And do not fret about me.. because.." Silent Whisper hugged Silent Wind in one final embrace.
"..I will be the guardian that shall guide you through your times of need." And with that, Silent Whisper vanished. Silent Wind was able to shed tears for the brother he loved. And then, he saw a permanent Silentblade symbol on his left upper arm.
"Thank you, bro. I won't forget you." Silent Wind looked up and smiled.
Lily Blade went near Silent Wind and putted a hoof on his shoulder. She smiled but it was a fragile small smile.
"It's okay Silent Wind, what shall we do now..?" Lily Blade asked.
Silent Wind looked around and saw the shut gate. He then began to hear a faint bang on the door. All the sudden, the three of them heard a large boom and there was a hole in the gate. As they looked closer, They saw Shining Armor and several guards along with him. They all went inside the throne room and cleared it. Shining Armor then went inside. Surprised that Shining Armor was by her, Twilight ran up to Shining Armor. Glad that he is alright.
"Brother! did you already defeat the Silentblades?!" Twilight blurted out.
Shining Armor shook his head. Disappointed, Twilight lowered her head slightly.
"We did not, the Silentblades in black and white turned out to be too much for us. Cadance was sent back to Canterlot. We recieved word minutes ago that both sides have retreated for now and have gone back to the main bases. Oh yes of course, Silent Wind, come here." Shining Armor said.
Silent Wind's eyes went wide and he walked toward Shining Armor.
"Yes?" Silent Wind asked.
Shining Armor of course, knew about Golden Shot and that she had died. Shining Armor did not want to tell Silent Wind about Golden Shot's death but Shining Armor knew he was going to find out. One way or another. He took a deep sigh and said it.
"Your friend, Golden Shot was slain in battle by a Silentblade. I am sorry." Shining Armor said, lowering his head.
Silent Wind's eyes went opened. He sat on the ground and shook his head. He was shocked when he heard that Golden Shot was dead. Golden Shot was a great friend seeing that she was one of the ponies who helped him escape during his time with the Silentblades. But he knew Golden Shot, she would've wanted him to keep his guard up no matter what. Silent Wind stood up and breathed.
"I feel horrid but I know Golden Shot, she wants us to never show tears for her because that's how we become strong and show her that we're strong, right?" Silent Wind smiled.
Shining Armor looked at Silent Wind with surprised. Twilight grinned at Silent Wind and gave him a quick kiss and nodded and Silent Wind smiled back at her. Shining Armor then chuckled slightly.
"You are right as always, Silent Wind. Now must should go back to the camps and think of our plan to defeat the Silentblades, no?" Shining Armor suggested.
"Oh yeah, sure but Twilight's friends.." Silent Wind began but then he heard Applejack's and Rainbow Dash's voice behind him.
"We're mighty fine 'ere.. just a bit beaten." Applejack was carrying Pinkie Pie who was blurting things out.
"My head.. hurty..!!" Pinkie Pie groaned.
"Yeah.. kind of.." Rainbow Dash stuttered. Rainbow Dash was in the air holding Rarity. Fluttershy was on the ground with Applejack and standing. Silent Wind to Twilight and putted a hoof on her shoulder.
"I think you should get the Elements and put them on your friends." Silent Wind suggested.
Twilight nodded and levitated the elements near her friends and putted the necklaces on each one of her friends and then putted the crown on her head.
"Okay then, should we go now?" Twilight said to Shining Armor.
"Yes we should." Shining Armor said.
Before they all headed out, Shining Armor ordered his men to stay behind and examine the throne room, after that, The Mane six, Lily and Silent Wind, and Shining Armor went back to the right mountain range and went backwards and after several hours, it was beginning to turn into sunset. Luckily, The group managed to get to one of the Celestial camps near Canterlot and stopped there to get food, aid, and anything that helped them.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, Void was in the Changeling castle and managed to get there by simply teleporting. Within only several minutes, Void had already killed eight of the Canterlot guards that were in the throne room. Void walked toward the lifeless body of Discord. His eyes still opened with shock. That's when Void chuckled.
"Oh my.. the powers of a draconequus.. so mysterious." Void then raised his left hoof and grew a blade out of his hoof palm. He chuckled more with a sinister smile, thinking of something he was about to do was going to make him much stronger than ever.
"I must see it for myself. Thank you for the gift.. Discord." Void then began to dive the grown blade in his hoof palm into Discord's left eye.
