Dark Crystal

Flurry Heart and Dark Flurry looked at each other.

“I’m not going to let you attack my city.”

“Well, then. Just surrender. I only need you anyway. Together, we could…”

“Whatever you promise me, I refuse. I will not go with you.”

“Alright. If you don’t want to do it on your own, then I…” Dark Flurry didn’t finish it, as Flurry casted a magic beam on her.

“Thorax, run!” Flurry shouted, and continued attacking.

Dark Flurry casted a shield spell and checked her side. “Ouch, you do have strong magic. Let’s see how strong,” she said, and casted her own spell.

Flurry surrounded herself in a bubble of magic. The magic was battering on her, yet she held on. She attempted to counterattack.

—

In the meanwhile, Shining Armor was shouting orders. Enemy pegasi started engaging the crystal soldiers. He was confident his soldiers would hold on.

He felt powerful magic nearby. He turned, and saw golden beams being shot. He had recognized them. “Flurry!”

Shining ran towards the beams. He saw his daughter fighting her evil doppelganger. She was using the spells he taught her, and was quite good at them, yet she was fighting an adult alicorn.

Shining attempted to cast a spell, but then, cold overtook him.

—

Flurry Heart saw her father getting frozen in an ice cube.

“Well then, where did we stop,” said Dark Flurry.

Flurry was outraged. She didn’t want her father, or anypony in the empire, to suffer. She doubled her efforts.

Lightning and magic beams were hitting Dark Flurry’s shield. The alicorn was smiling and didn't even flinch. Flurry got even more angry. She summoned the strongest magic beam she could, and shot it.

This time, Dark Flurry did flinch. She was pushed back, and almost dropped the shield spell.

“Very well, I think you are ready,” Dark Flurry said, and teleported away.

Flurry was exhausted by the duel. She still ran towards her father. The spell wasn’t that difficult to remove, and her father was freed.

—

Shining Armor was quite disoriented after being hit by the spell, but quickly managed to recover.

“Dad, are you okay?” Flurry asked.

“Yes, Flurry. You’re okay?”

“Yes, I am. She ran away,” Flurry said. Shining had to help her stand. She was exhausted from pushing the limits of her power.

Shining saw that airships above Crystal City started retreating towards the floating city.

Then, there was a very bright, green flash. Shining covered Flurry, afraid that there was an attack. Yet, once the flash disappeared, so did the airships and the floating city.

“What happened?” asked Shining.

“She has fled into the future.”
