Back To Work
Chapter 10: 10%

By: Major Frostwing

"Alright Jon I did as much as I could with my knowledge of crystals." Twilight said as she walked up to me holding out two crystal hands. "If you try using big destructive spells or dark magic the crystals won't be able to handle the strain." I nodded my head as Twilight attached the crystals to my arms.

I felt my magic connect to the crystal before I felt them react. The crystals began to glow lightly before they started to move with the use of my magic. "Teach me the spells to create more hands." I said as I rolled the new hands around flexing my them slowly getting a feel of the new appendages.

"Already wrote down my notes so you will know what to do. You are going to begin your stress test aren't you?" Twilight asked as I flexed my magic flicking my wrists to see my spell pistols form in my hands.

"Spell guns seems easy enough now it is time to start with the big stuff." I charged a big spell in my gun before pulling the trigger. The spell detonated in my hand shattering my right hand making me look down at the missing limb. "Ow..." I muttered before looking at my left hand. "Lets crank it down just a tad." I tried a medium level lightning spell. I pulled the trigger for the spell to go off without a hitch but three fingers on my left hand shattered.

"I'm sorry I couldn't make them more efficient." Twilight said looking like she failed a test or something.

"Twilight I was running at maybe 3% when I was using my own magic as a medium. With these crystals you put me up to 10% which is enough to continue my journey but I will need to find a way to perfect this spell before I can get my hands back." I said as I looked over Twilight's notes.

"What is your next location?" Twilight asked as I smiled.

"I have no data to confirm my suspicion but I think going to the Griffon Empire Capitol is my best bet for finding another of the girls." I said as I flexed my magic generating a few sets of hands. I quickly replaced my broken hands before bagging the rest in my storage. "I need to find a way to drop my magic levels quick before they go critical." I stated as I flexed my hands creating my cloak.

"Where should I go?" Twilight asked as I smiled.

"Go to the Dragon Kingdom and hide there I will be sending each of them there one by one hopefully we can get them all without this Queen finding out our plans." I began walking out of the tomb when Twilight called after me.

"Jon. What is your plan?" Twilight asked as I cocked a smirk.

"Get the girls get my hands and slaughter a Queen. Shouldn't be to hard after all." I said with a chuckle teleporting out of the tomb.

Time to head East. I told myself as I set off.

I held my map in front of me as I traveled down a set of train tracks before glancing up and around trying to check my position. "Need to find a town and soon otherwise I'm gonna go mad." I said as I looked over the horizon to see a town coming up. "Oh... I should pay more attention." I said scratching the back of my head before glancing down at my map. "Seems to be the town of... huh? That's weird there isn't supposed to be a town on these track for quite some time."

I stepped off the tracks looking over my map more closely. "I got a bad feeling about this." I said as I shrugged my shoulders rolling up my map before continuing on a strange feeling of something watching me settling into the pit of my stomach.

Once I was about a hundred feet away from the town I heard a bang and something kick up the dirt in front of me making me stop.

"HALT THAT'S FAR ENOUGH!" A female voice barked out I did so. Something wasn't right and I was gonna play a little reserved here. Now that I got a good look at the town there were large walls surrounding the town. I saw the one who shot the ground in front of me.

The doors to the town opened as a group of shabbily armed town guard exited their town. Only a few of the guards having spell pistols. They didn't even look ready for a fight. "Remove your cloak." One of the guards yelled and seemed to be more confident than the others. I mentally shrugged dismissing my cloak.

"Better?" I asked holding up my arms. They aren't actively hostile to me yet so I might as well play safe.

"What do you want with us? Are you working for The Tyrant Queen?" The leader asked as I let out a short laugh. "YOU THINK THIS IS A GAME!?" The leader asked raising a assault class spell rifle.

"No it's just funny you think I would work with the one stole my hands and ultimately killed me." I said relaxing my stance.

"Impossible if the Queen wants you dead she will have you killed." The leader yelled out cocking a round into the spell gun. "Now answer me who are you?" I only shrugged I want to keep myself off the radar so I wasn't gonna tell them shit.

"I will shoot you."

"Sounds cool." I said raising my hand rolling it offhandedly.

A single shot rang out hitting my shield. A few of the other guards were shocked that the bullet didn't hit me. "How did you block that bullet?" The leader asked as I only shrugged.

"A good magician never reveals his tricks." I said calmly.

"Open fire." The leader ordered but with a flick of my wrist all of their spell guns and weapons were ripped from their hand floating over to me before stopping.

"Listen as much as I would like to hash this out I'm just gonna drop these right here and walk to your market. I'm gonna buy some food and water before continuing on my way. Okay?" I said as the weapons fell to the ground around me. I glanced up as a bullet slammed into my shield again. I rolled my eyes snapping my fingers as I teleported next to the sharpshooter ripping his gun out of his grip. "Please stop." I said annoyed as I snapped my fingers again returning to my original position.

"Wh-what are you?" The leader asked as I shrugged.

"Can't tell you. Won't tell you. I got places to be so if you will excuse me." I walked forward passing the guards with a small smile on my face. "I can tell you I am not the enemy nor will I be the enemy to you guys. So don't mind me."

"Silver I think I have seen a picture of that man." I heard one of the guards say as everyone stopped. "Yea he looks just like... The Traitor... The one who killed the Sun and Moon." I turned around seizing the man by his throat bringing him face to face with me.

"WHY WOULD I HAVE KILLED CELESTIA OR LUNA!? THEY WERE MY FRIENDS! WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU KNOW!?" I roared into his face raising a fist decking the man across the face. I released him looking around me. "I am not a traitor." I said turning on my heel entering the town. I need to hurry and get out of here it's only pissing me off.
