A groan from the bed; Beakbreaker turns over, her legs searching for the warm body that was there a few moments ago.
It's wierd that Silver's mechanical body is generating heat to the point of beeing warm for the most part so you would feel it warm during a hug. Unless it's made to specyficly doing so, I'm wondering how exactly it's powered to generate heat all around. The artificial nervous system generates heat from magic flow? All systems generate heat? I just find it strange for a machine even if magical in some ways.
I think this sequence is a dream. Because what the hell would those ponies want to acomplish? Anarchists or communists who teamed up with the dragons to overthrow the Diarchy? Because it didn't look like revenge. I don't want to check who Scarpone was in the previous one because it's just too many scarred ponies from Manehattan and we ussually don't get enought info on that stuff beforehand. Maybe he is part of some underground organization that forms an underground state to fight back if Equestria ever faces a threat of getting overrun. Silent Shadows, anyone? XCOM of sorts? I could see them forming after the changeling war. Because them recruiting Sliverspeak would be the first of secoundary objectives on their list and that's the way they'd do it.
The Dragons propably are active for a few days in the open to reach Canterlot and doing so much damage already. I think they somehow damaged the underground system under Silverspeak's hometown [or connected to it] so that the magic, curse and/or monster that guarded the horn when it was in the tomb. That's why the pains came just a few days before this whole shitshow.
A shot to the face doesn't always need to be lethal - assuming that the brain is untouched. But it would for sure knock someone out from sole pain - expecially a horsehead. The less of a body you have - the more brainpower is left to manage your remaining receptors. Assuming he didn't get shot with some sort of super-destructive round like an explosive but I would assume this guy had the gun to incapasitate our protagonist because they apparently need him. Or he shot at something behind Sliverspeak.
The pony’s hoof is tightening around the trigger of his gun.
I have to fight, have to lash out, do something, anything. I won’t die helpless, barely able to see through the pain. I have to fight. I have to get to Beakbreaker, to save her, to protect her...
The scarred pony takes aim, and I try to rise as he fi––
Let the sky fall, When it crumbles. We will stand tall, Face it all together..
Hey wait, if Beakbreaker was going to retire soon...that just means she suffered a case of retirony!
Good ol' retirony. It never fails. At least it hasn't resulted in death for her, just another complete kingdom-wide crisis.
So I wonder who these ponies are going to be. Technological radicalists? Technological Luddites? Extremist Republicans? Well, I doubt that last one. They targeted Silverspeak specifically, who doesn't strike me as somebody they need to eliminate to achieve a republic. I do recall there was that anti-technology group last story who killed a bunch of people, then just dropped off the face of the Earth. To a group like that, Silverspeak would be an abomination.
Well...fuck...
Canterlot is ashes
The dragons have returned
Silver's horn tolerance has run out
...again. fuck...
well at least it isn't Mangus again...
.....I find it hilarious they just went full retard. They attacked Luna and Celestia....They. Dun. Goofed.
... well fuck... This turned really fast

Mangus was a right royal dickhead
Literally in the end

The heat is from the crystals that power Silverspeak's body; specifically, leftover energy that dissipates to the surface of his skin.
8276911 Okay, so there is that. Thanks, it was gnawing at me.
*Screaming in fangirl gibberish*
A third story on this saga!
