//------------------------------// // CHAPTER 4 // Story: My Little Avengers: Endgame // by Kitsune_Kenshi //------------------------------// The dawn sky was clear when the Guardians of Harmony's ship pierced the veil of the clouds that encircled Earth. As the ship exited the planetary atmosphere, retrorockets fired to align the vehicle for its injection into the void of space. Flames erupting from the engine changed from orange to blue. It's tail repositioned, the spaceship began the voyage to the garden planet. To Storm King. On the flight deck, Spike, Rarity, Twilight, Dash, Young Six, Applejack, and Tempest sat bucked into their seats. Sunset and Angel occupied the command chairs, and were co-piloting the craft. "Okay," Angel initiated his new crew, sounding like a school teacher. "Who's here hasn't been to space?" Twilight, Applejack, and Rarity raised their hands. "Why?" Applejack asked, suddenly unsure of what was about to happen. Sunset laughed in anticipation. "You better don't throw up on my ship." Angel warned, as he lowered his hands to adjust the ship controls. Tempest eyed a console and noted, Approaching to Hyper Space Jump in three..." Instinctively, Twilight grabbed the armrests on her chair, digging in her hoofs. "...two..." Spike looked outside, as Applejack and Rarity exchanged nervous glances. This was out of their world---- literally. "...one..." Bracing herself, Twilight was suddenly forced back in her chair by the pressure and motion. The Guardians of Galaxy's ship was now hurtling toward the jump point, a gateway inspire that allowed for faster travel across the galaxy. Though the cockpit, Twilight could see a hexagonal shape appear in the distance, and the ship flew right on through. (~) No sooner had they entered the jump point, then the spaceship exited another hexagonal jump point. The engine cut out promptly, and the ship was now drifting in space. Rarity had no concept of exactly how long the trip had taken. An hour? Minutes? A few seconds? It was entirely disorienting. Ahead of them is the Garden Planet. The ship soar into the planet's atmosphere, so fast that it created a sonic boom. When the spaceship detected its max attitude, the booster rockets turned and faced the ground, orange flames roared to slow the ship down. "Landed." Announced Angel. "I recorded that energy blast's location, we just have to follow the tracker. Then finding him would not be a problem." "Gears up!" Silverstream snarled, "Off for the #$%**!" The Young six just stared at her in surprised. "This is not her. No. Definily not her." Smolder said to Gallus, "I understand." the Griffon said, "Last time Storm king snapped, it wiped out her entire tribe." "Well she's pissed." Smolder said. The Young six and the others got off he ship, with full gears and weapons, they're off the finish the Storm King. (~) Storm King sighed as he looked through the mirror, he had been here every since the last battle with the mane 6 and their friends. Dash stabbed her axe through his chest, nearly killing him. But at the last second, Storm King is managed to snap his fingers. When he teleported here, the villain decided to take some time off and hide. Because he knew what would happen if the mane six and the young six finds him; especially that hippogriff, he wiped out her tribe right in front of Silverstream. He does not expect them to let him live. He walked outside, at his garden, then he bend down to harvest a purple, weird looking fruit. He then got it inside and threw it in the boiled water. Storm King sat down onto his Woden chair, closing his eyes. For a moment he thought he heard wood cracking, maybe it just this cranky old shelter, he thought. Then he heard something flying through the air, screaming. Louder and louder. "Shoot!" Storm King turned and tried to block the shot. Stonebreaker broke into his shelter, it was suppose to chop hi in his chest, but instead it got his arms. With a painful scream, he lost both arms. Then, another explosion, sending him flying. He then landed head-first on the ground. He grunted. But when he glanced up, he's face turned pale. The angry mane six and young six is above him. The hippogriff that he last saw raised her Riptide and slashed towards him. Then a Griffin stopped and pulled her aside. "Storm King," Twilight warned, "The elements." Storm King just started to laugh, evilly. Angel and the others rushed to the gauntlet, in which the elements of harmony themselves were to be set. Except there was one problem. The elements of harmony were gone. "Oh, no."Angel muttered. Twilight looked at the gauntlet, and saw the complication in their plan. "Where are they?!" she demanded of Storm King, who was held in place by Applejack, Sunset, and Spike. Storm king grunted in reply. Silverstream couldn't take it anymore, she slashed her sword towards Storm King's neck, but stopped at the distant of less then one millimeter. "Answer the question." She snarled. Storm King let out a small chuckle, then he told her, "The universe required correction. After that, the elements served no purpose beyond temptation." "You murdered trillions!!!" Spike erupted. How could this monster be so calm in the face of his action? "You should be grateful," Storm King responded, convinced of his righteousness. Rarity took a step forward to look Storm king in the eye. "Where are the elements?" "Gone," Storm King uttered. "Reduced to atoms." Spike was seething now. "You used them two days ago!" he yelled. They couldn't have missed the elements by such a short amount of time---- the thought was horrifying. Storm King explained, "I used the elements to destroy the elements. It nearly killed me. But the work is done. It always will be. I am inevitable." And he was content, even in his pain. Applejack continued to grip Storm king's right shoulder with her ropes. "We have to tear this place apart,"Applejack suggested. "He has to be lying!" Tempest, who had entered the shelter almost unnoticed, suddenly spoke, "My father is many things," she stated calmly. "A liar is not one of them." The mane and young six gasped in horror, Silverstream was about to explode. "Ahhh," Storm King acknowledged, "Thank you Tempest. Perhaps I should have fixed your horn." Tempest's eyes narrowed. Now, she thought, Now he sees her? While Storm King is paying full attention to Tempest, Silverstream stepped forward silently, weapon in claw. Storm King never saw Silverstream's sword coming. (~) The attack was swift, the stroke clean, the blow killing instantly. The sad and angry hippogriff's sword hit Storm King's neck, slicing right on the through. The head then hit the floor of the dwelling, and rolled. The headless body of Storm King then collapsed in a heap on the floor. It was over. Tempest stared at the body. It was something she had long lived for, but never quite thought she would see. Before, she used to see Storm King as a ruler of everything, but as time went by, she slowly began to see evil and cruel in him. There are moment she'd say she would kill him. But there's also times when she meant it. And the other when she don't. Now, in the harsh light of the day, that was exactly, precisely what had occurred. And she didn't quite know how to feel. Tempest felt something warm on her cheek, she reached a hoof and touched it. But it wasn't a tear, Blood. Storm King's blood. "What?" Spike asked, shocked, from the once kind, gently, caring, hyperactive but now a killer Silverstream. "Silverstream...." Gallus reached for her wings. "It's done... my friends, my families, my tribe.... Gone...."she then dropped her sword onto the ground. She broke into a sob and put her head in Gallus's warm chest. She's crying, heartbrokened. Not from the killing she've done. But the result that her friends and family... gone...Forever......
