//------------------------------// // Chapter 4 // Story: True Magical Duel // by Dragonlover553 //------------------------------// A massive blast, no, a beam of emerald fire shot into the sky. Well, not exactly the sky, but that's the general idea. It was Spike's mind after all. "Svent!" he evoked as he thrust his hands forward. A titanic blast of emerald light shot from them, decimating the forest before him in a single shot. Huh. He thought smugly. "Not bad for a drake with no formal training whatsoever." "Yes, not bad at all." replied the darker part of him. "But really" it said "you know you could do much better, if you only gave in to me..." "And that's never going to happen." He retorted. "We shall see" hissed the voice "We shall see." "Yes, we shall.ssejinw lpuul ir." he evoked again, calling upon the magic that ran through his veins to silence the darkness within him. "Come now. There's work to be done. Trixie's on my To-Do List, and after three days of tyranny, I think it's time she was done." "I am surprised with you young dova. Weren't you raised by ponies, the most pacifistic race in all this world?" "Yes" he responded without hesitation. "Then why so quick to end a life?" "She is a tyrant. he respond"Remember what our visions say about King Sombra? Of his return and following execution?" "Yes." "Well it makes the price for tyranny quite clear, even here in Equestria." "Alright then. Let's go." **** "TRIXIE!!" boomed a titanic voice. "COME OUT AND FACE ME!!!" The source of the voice, Spike, was clearly not in the mood for games. "That is Great and Powerful Trixie, to you." replied Trixie in an irritated tone as she entered the town square from the town hall. "AND THIS MATTER TO ME HOW?! boomed Spike. "The Great and Powerful Trixie wishes to know how you got your voice so loud." "Simple, I shouted." "That is not possible. You were almost as loud as Princess Luna." "Believe what you wanna believe, but I came her on more important matters." "And what would they be, whelp?" "Ending you.valignat!" A blast of intense emerald flames shot from his mouth, only to be blocked by Trixie's shield, which shattered. "How did you do that?" demanded Trixie. "Not even Twilight Sparkle could break my shield with one shot!" "It all comes down to one simple fact, Trixie. You two are ponies, mortal, meant to kill nothing beyond grass and the like. I am a dragon, a godkiller. Did you ever think you would be a match for me?"
