Karma

Silver is Brighter

Ponies run and scream in terror as the town falls around them. Beams of magic come from nowhere, tearing into and through buildings, and through market stalls. At the same time, a giant creature crashes through everything, bringing buildings down around them.

Turner rushes outside his house, and watches in horror as Derpy’s house collapses next to his. He screams, and rushes in, “Derpy!”

She weakly yells back, “Over here!”

Turner rushes over to her, and kicks a fallen beam off of her. He picks her up, and looks in her eyes, “Get out of here!”

Derpy shakes her head, “Dinky isn’t home, she’s out there!”

Turner smiles at her, “I’ll find Dinky, but you need to get out of here. Just, trust me.”

Derpy looks at him, and narrows her eyes, “Don’t let her come to harm, Turner.”

Turner nods, “Never would. Now, get going. I’ve got this.”

Derpy turns, and rushes to the Forest as quick as she can. Turner goes the opposite way, into the town.

Magical beams rush all around him, dead set on collapsing everything and burning the rest. Turner heads directly for the school, his determination forcing his hooves to go faster and faster.

He eventually spots the school, and sees a magical beam flying towards it. He raises his hoof, a device coming off of it.

With a pulsing sound and a blue glow, the device cancels out the magic. Turner smiles, “Oh, good old sonic.”

He slips it away, and moves towards the school. Foals rush outside, shrieking in fear from the collapsing buildings.

Yet, Turner can quickly notice one foal leaving the main group and heading into town. Her purple fur, the red shine near her horn, Turner can quickly recognize Dinky. Turner rushes after her, “Dinky!”

She stops for a second, and looks back at him. She smiles, slightly. The first time she has smiled in a week. She motions back to others, “Protect them, Mister Turner, I can take care of these two.”

Turner shakes his head, “Your mother is worried! We need to go back to her!”

Dinky shakes her head back, “Protect the others, Mister Turner! I still have Grey’s gift!”

Turner takes a step towards her as she rushes off. But then he hears the crying of foals around him, and he whips out his screwdriver again.

He whips around, and takes out another magical beam with ease. He looks at the foals, and points to the forest, “Get moving!”

The foals all listen, and begin their trek into the village.

Dinky rushes until she finds herself in town square. In front of her is town hall, and a giant human inside.

The human looks over at her, and breaks through the rest of the building. It doesn’t even pay attention as the building collapses on top of it, shrugging off the weight of it.

Dinky stomps her hoof down, “Stop destroying everything!”

The human smiles, and approaches closer.

Dinky charges power into her horn, and launches fire at the human.

But a second human comes out of an ally, instantly dispelling her fire. The mage human moves behind the giant, and channels it’s magic into another beam.

The beam charges directly at Dinky, bright red glow coating her form.

She takes a step back, but the beam is traveling so fast that she knows she can’t dodge.

Right before it reaches her, however, a figure jumps in the way.

The beam impacts him, but is held back.

The beam dissipates, revealing the figure.

His armor glows bright silver. In his hands are two weapons. A giant, three foot long mace, like Sauron’s, but it glows the same silver. In the other hand is a greatsword, polished well, with little bolts of lightning constantly arcing from the weapon to a different area on the weapon.

The sword is currently through the mace. He drags the sword away, scraping it on the mace.

Bolts of lightning arc from the weapons, crashing into everything around them. There is a continuous sound, one akin to thunder.

He finally disconnects them, and assumes a low stance.

The mace sits on his shoulder, and the sword sits by his waist.

Dinky looks at him, “Grey?”

He looks back at her, “Grey doesn’t exist anymore, neither does Kendrick. There is only I, Silver.” He holds his arm out in front of Dinky, “I’ve got crimes to repay. But right now, I have some humans to stop.”

Dinky holds onto his arm, and climbs her way up to his head. She sits on his head, and smiles, “I knew you would be fine!”

Silver looks forward at the humans, “You two, hold up your hands and surrender!”

The humans only growl. The giant charges, and the mage fires off another beam of magic.

Dinky fires off her own magic, disabling that of the mage.

Silver charges forward, dead set on collision with the giant.

As they get closer, Silver notices something different with the human. It’s eyes glow bright red, and the circle has been replaced with a six pointed star.

Silver charges, and stabs his sword forward.

The sword goes right through the human, and it instantly begins convulsing as lightning fills it. Silver moves the mace down, and swings it into the human.

The mace sends out a little shockwave on touch, sending the human flying even further away. Except, instead of one piece, the man is now made into two.

The mage man backs up a bit, charging his magic up again.

Silver rushes forward, throwing his sword into his elbow to hold it temporarily. Then, he opens his hand up, and taps on the crystal within.

A crystalline blue shield pops out of it, which he moves in front of him. The beam of magic sent hurtling towards them is halted by the shield, breaking the magical shield, but dissipating the beam.

Silver rushes closer, and brings both of his weapons in for a blow at once.

The mage human summons two magical swords, and barely keeps the weapons from hitting him. He keeps both of them still as both struggle to break the clash.

Dinky stands on Silver’s head, pointing her horn at the mage human. Narya lights up red, same with Dinky’s horn, and she charges up her magic.

A lance of fire crashes into the human mage, instantly killing him and stopping the fight.

Silver leans back from the new pile of ash, and sighs. Dinky jumps off his head, and begins to hug his leg, “I knew you were my friend!”

Silver sighs, and hugs her back the best he can, “I can only hope the others are as accepting as you.”
