Avenging My Father

Skyfire was at a breakfast house early in the morning, tuning into the news channel on the large TV on the wall.

LARGEST TREE IN EVERFREE FOREST FALLS, MYSTERIOUS OBJECT FOUND

Skyfire's eyes widened as the news channels were flashing pictures of the tree, first when it was standing up, and then after it was knocked down by Skyfire.

Then she saw what appeared to be a piece of her metal armor. A video was shown of scientists studying the shard.

She heard a news anchor announce, "Nopony is sure this substance is, experts say it may be a new element, while others say it is from another planet."

The video then switched to a video interview with a scientist. "Well, I'm not sure what it is yet, but from my studies it is certainly alien. Not alien from a different planet, but alien from my knowledge. It seems to be virtually unbreakable."

Skyfire let out a short and quiet laugh. Everybody was watching the TV, and none of them knew that the cause of all of this was just a few feet beside them.

Since news channels tend to stay on the same topics for weeks, the channel switched back over to the pony who murdered Skyfire's father.

MURDERER TAKEN TO PONYVILLE JAIL - 10 YEAR SENTENCE

Skyfire saw his picture on the screen. She wished that she could kill the murderer right then and there.

She glimsed to the corner of the picture and saw his name: Rough Spirit.
The name didn't ring any bells, but she didn't care. That stallion killed her one and only father.

And he would pay.


A FEW DAYS LATER

Skyfire walked into the front doors of the Ponyville Jail.

"I'm here with my appointment with convict #392." said Skyfire.

"Go right ahead. The room's 2 doors to the left." said a mare sitting at a desk.

Skyfire found herself in a room divided by a pane of glass. She sat down in a chair as two guards escorted Rough Spirit in.

Skyfire picked up her phone, and so did Rough.

Rough began in a low and bored tone. "Who are you?"

"I'm the daughter of the stallion you killed."

"Oh, well... that's nice. You-"

"WHY DID YOU HAVE TO KILL HIM???!?!?!" Skyfire shouted into the phone.

"It was...necessary. He didn't deserve to live anyway. Nobody does."

Skyfire was trying to hold back her anger. It was stronger than ever now that she was physically seeing the pony who killed her father.

"My father was a wonderful stallion. You took his life...

...you BASTARD!!!!"

"Woah, watch the language missy."

"You killed my father. Now I'll kill you.."

"Pfft, go ahead and try sweet-cheeks. They have me locked up in here for 10 years."

"I'LL KILL YOU!!!!" Skyfire shouted.

Her anger was beginning to well up. "No, don't do it. Not here." thought Skyfire.
She felt movement begin under her skin. "Welp, here we go..."

"Call me sweet-cheeks again." said Skyfire, the digital tone emerging in her voice.

"Is this phone messed up or something?" said Rough. He looked at the phone, and then back at Skyfire.

Her eyes were a brilliant neon green.

Rough Spirit backed away from the phone and to the wall behind him. Skyfire could see his mouth, he was obviously shouting "HELP!!"

Skyfire's armor erupted out of her skin, and her hair shot up in flames, causing a glare in the glass. She reared back and then charged through the glass, sending glass fragments everywhere.

The guards were storming in the door, suddenly confused and afraid of Skyfire's appearance, as Skyfire grabbed Rough Spirit, who was so shocked that he passed out. Skyfire threw herself at one of the walls, blasting through it with her strength. Skyfire was now outside of the jail. She sprinted towards the Everfree Forest with Rough Spirit on her back.

As she arrived, she knew the scene at Everfree Forest would be hot. She ran into a rock formation and realized it was a cave entrance. She entered it and found herself inside an underground cave with a beautiful pond. She sat the unconscious, dark-orange pony down, made her armor and fire contract back into her, and sat a few feet behind Rough Spirit.

She waited intently, but calmly, for him to wake up.
