Chapter 2: Ponyville's darkest hour.

As he flies, Chad observes the town from above. He powers down, switching out the white dinothunder morpher for the red SPD morpher. He morphs, donning the red suit and gaining the phasing abilities Jack had.

"Land right in the center, time to give the locals a taste of pain like they've never seen before." The Nillious obeys, landing hard in front of the town hall, as Chad leaps down.

Without warning, Chad pulls out a launcher, and Lightning L-Drago. He rips, sending out the destructive forbidden bey. It starts tearing through the walls of the building, hurling the debris at the surrounding, panicking ponies. Chad laughs as his Nillious starts punching buildings and caving in roofs. At this moment, Starlight appears in town, too late to evacuate everypony safely. She does her best to teleport as many as she can to the castle. Some are crushed underfoot of the giant two headed dragon, while others are gouged by the rampant debris. The sight was horrifying to watch, for the denizens that is. For Chad, it was glorious. Any debris headed his way passing right through him. Thanks Jack. Once Starlight finishes evacuating as many ponies as she can, she confronts Chad.

"Alright, if you won't stop willingly, I'll have to use force!" Starlight yells, blasting out a giant beam meant to banish Chad from Ponyville.

The smoke clears, revealing a laughing biped in a red suit. "What was that supposed to do huh? Make me a pansy prissy little do-gooder like you?" Chad mocks, lacking the voice filter this time.

"It was meant to banish-" Starlight is cut off as Chad starts firing at her with the delta blasters. "Why do I even bother..." She says as she deflects the shots.

However, as she's recovering from deflecting the shots, the bey returns to Chad.

"Seems you'll be giving me some trouble. Let's see how well you do against THIS!" Chad quickly swaps out Lightning L-Drago for Sol Blaze, and flips over the L/R string launcher. "Go! Sol Blaze!" Chad launches the bey, the heat emanating from it quickly becoming apparent. "Blaze Execution!"

The others finally arrive at the scene, only to discover they were too late. Within seconds, the bey creates a swirling tornado of fire, badly burning and melting anything in range. Starlight's shield cracks and shatters from the sheer heat, sending her flying backwards. The scene is completely horrific. The buildings all piles of rubble, bits of pony carcasses visible under the rubble, blood stains, and burn marks in a circular area, with rising smoke to top it all off. A seared Starlight lies at the hooves of the element bearers, weakly looking up before passing out from the pain. Twilight, Applejack, Pinkie, Rarity, and even Fluttershy look at the human with a great amount of hatred. All Chad does in response is point in their general direction, as the Nillious charges. Fluttershy gives it the stare, but it seems unaffected by it. Perhaps due to its mechanical nature. The red suited human runs over to a glowing spot, throwing a glowing hexagon at the bakugan. It seems to get stronger somehow. Then, the ponies all leap out of the way just as it punches the ground. The shockwave from said punch causes them to lose their balance when they land.

"This is almost TOO easy. And to think you're the reason my little brother is dead." Chad says, shaking his head. "Regardless, you'll still pay for that. Sol Blaze! Blaze Execution!" He yells out, the top starting up its fiery whirlwind once more.

But Twilight was prepared for what was coming, creating a dome shield around the bey in an attempt to snuff out the flame. However, just like Starlight's shield, it begins to crack.

"It's useless! The power of the orichalcon bey is unrivaled! Try to face the power of the sun god, and you'll be burned!" The shield bursts when Chad finishes, engulfing the area in flames for the second time.

Twilight puts up another dome shield, this time around her friends. It starts to crack, but Twilight already has all the time she needs. She teleports herself and her friends away to the evacuation point, the shield breaking easily without its creator to hold it up. Chad growls at this, Sol Blaze returning to him. He powers down.

"I'll end you yet, pegacorn... And all your little friends too..." He says.

Once that's taken care of, Nillious retreats. Chad sends out an Aurelus Dragonoid, heading off towards Canterlot.

Twilight collapses in the room when she arrives, along with the rest of her friends. Seems the trauma got to them. Many of the local nurses rush up to them, one noticing Starlight's condition and quickly hauling her off for medical attention. Twilight is still conscious, looking up at a worried Spike.

"H-how did this happen?" Spike asks, distraught beyond belief.

"Did, did you hear back from..." Twilight coughs.

Spike holds out a letter. "Yes, princess Celestia is on her way, along with the guard." Spike says quickly, his legs shaking.

"Tell her that... P-ponyville... is... lost." Twilight falls unconscious, her head hitting the ground with a loud thunk.

The nurses rush to put each of them on a stretcher, taking them into the designated medical room to work on them. Twilight's castle somehow remained untouched and unnoticed by the rampaging human, making it a great place for a safe haven. For now. Spike gulps, writing another letter and engulfing it in his flames, sending it out to Canterlot. A grim feeling washing over him. Whatever this was, this was only the beginning...


Author's Note

So... time to see what everyone thinks so far. Improvements will be made as time goes on, but this story won't be very lengthy at all. This also just occurred to me, sorry to any Chads out there, this isn't meant to reflect on you guys in any way.
