The tale of Quick Silver

“My name is Gabrin Kafeel Greywing but because it is difficult to pronounce I tell people to call me Gabe. I have been traveling with this old lizard looking for a close friend. May I now be able to ask of thee thou names?” Gabe asked.

“My name is Twilight Sparkle and these are my friends: Applejack, her sister Apple Bloom, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and her sister Sweetie Bell-Sir why is your chest bleeding?”

Gabe looked down and whispered to himself hope-ing no one would hear him, “Lumen where are you and are you safe?” Looking up at the group he spoke loudly, “it happens when someone I care about is in pain. My friend I am looking for seems to be in pain could you tell me where to find him?”

“Who is he?” the main six asked in unison. But before he got to answer all present heard the crash of breaking followed by Dinky screaming
“MOMMY!”

Twilight started thinking of what to do before AJ spoke up stating, “Why does it look like Derpy’s falling while trying to kill nurse Redheart who has got Quick in a death grip? And above all else why does it look like Quick is bleeding and where did Derpy get a spear?”

Suddenly a red flash and a white blur ran past them. Rainbow yelling, “Who were they? And where did Pinkie go?”

“Forget that we need to help Derpy, nurse Redheart, and Quick Sliver.” Twilight announced. In one motion the massive group took off toward the hospital.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Back at the hospital

“Ok the nurse is here to help. We have a collapsed lung. I’ll give him some medicine to alleviate the pain and take him to the O.R. immediately. You will need to leave the room. Mrs. Derpy,” Nurse Redheart spoke calmly.

“You aren’t really nurse Redheart are you?” Derpy asked her while preparing herself for a fight.

“What do you mea- I see you can’t be fooled as easily as most can. Are you going to try to fight me or will you surrender quietly? I have no need to kill you but I will if you get in my way.” Redheart answered.

“My sister left him in my care and I will defend him. I hope you know how to defend as well as you can trick people. I won’t let you hurt him.” Throwing out her hoof towards Redheart she stood on her hind legs and said the phrase she hadn’t used in over twelve years, “Appear before me now, Sara!” a spear materialized and she grabbed it with her hoof. Standing on her hind legs the stood aiming the spear toward Redheart and spoke, “Take your position.”

“Gladly,” In a flash she was holding the unconscious Quick Sliver and without thinking Derpy charged pushing them out of the glass and falling toward the ground.

---------------------------------------------

Back to the present in front of the hospital

“Let him go! I will not hesitate to kill you” Derpy screamed

“No and you can’t kill me. But you and him can die together, however you can still live if you just let go” Redheart answered

“Never. He is my connection to my sister. I won’t let you take him from me.”

“Say goodbye to your loved ones now. The ground is too close to survive impact anyway.”

As Derpy and Quick came within a foot of the ground time stopped and Derpy corrected herself so she was standing on her hind legs holding Quick in the forelegs. Time started and Redheart appeared in awe and sneered while stating, “You are no ordinary mare are you Derpy or should I call you Ditzy?”

Placing Quick on the ground as gently as possible and turning to face Redheart, “Yes that is my name. You will not have enough time to memorize it though. You shall fall here and now.”

“What makes you so sure a mare like yourself can beat me? I am eternal.”

“I am an emissary of the light. I bring forth hope to those how are trouble by despair. I wield powers that few are given. I see past and present. Age means nothing to me for it obeys what I tell it. You try your best to survive.”

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The massive group of ponies finally made it to the hospital to see Mac and Vinyl tending to a wounded Quick Sliver and Derpy fighting Redheart. Although no creature present was able to find where Pinkie was at. Dinky was focused on her mother as she was fighting. No one could find their voice while staring at the mares fighting.

Derpy was using her spear and body as one. Every strike had a defensive recoil and she would use her neck to gather the needed momentum. After deflecting Redheart’s attack she would spin the spear around her neck to gather momentum for her next strike. Most of her movements were too fast to be seen by the regular eye. The sound of metal clashing with metal rung throughout the air. The fight was too fuzzy to tell who was who. In a flare of movement Redheart was thrown to the ground and a crater formed around her upon impact to the ground. Landing gently upon the ground Derpy stood upon her hind legs and voiced her victory by calling to the heap known as Redheart, “Leave and never return here.” Turning to walk away Redheart grabbed up her weapon and attacked Derpy only to be stopped by a giant cucumber.

“Cucumber Colum.”

“Golden Harvest what are you doing?”

“Ditzy behind you. Lyra help her, you too Bon-Bon”

“Ok” they said in unison.

Lyra standing on her hind legs in a space filled with light. Spinning on one back hoof she starts to glow the glow disappears in sections to reveal armor. One foreleg is covered in a chain mesh covered in white feathers. The other foreleg is covered the same way. Her hind legs are revealing to be covered in armor connecting to boots covering her hooves. Her torso is revealed to be wearing a chain mesh shirt but is then covered in a marble plating acting as a breastplate. Five thin forms push out from her fore hooves. She back flips and lands pulling a gun out from her chest. Pointing it in front of her. She ends the transformation by saying, “Emissary, Guardian Angel!”

Bon-Bon standing on her hind legs in an area resembling the ocean depths. Spinning on one hind leg she glowed a mysterious blue. As the blue disappeared slowly it revealed armor that shown as brightly as a pearl. A robe covering her body but underneath mythril mesh. Like Lyra she had five forms push out of her fore hooves. A Staff made of coral and shells appeared in one hoof. She spin in around while turning to face forward and stood holding it in a way similar to a sorcerer would have. Slamming the staff’s bottom point to the caused the scenery behind her to change to a hurricane. She ended her transformation by saying, “Emissary, Gentle Tides!”

Redheart looked at the transformed two and smirked saying, “I guess playtime is over.”
