The Lightning

This creature had to be one of the top five on Twilight's list of unusal things. First, it somehow knocked Rainbow Dash clean out of the sky... Or it could just be coincidence? A gaping hole in Rainbow's wing said otherwise.

Now it was brandishing some strange metal object around from the top of a metal... Thing. And it appeared to be made from metal, as well.

There was a simple solution to this problem- Levitate the thing away. A purple glow formed around her horn and the strange metal object as she began to pull the object towards her.

=========================================================================

A strange purple glow formed around the head of one of the horned ones and a similar one formed around my pistol as I felt it being pulled from my grasp.

I was slightly suprised by this, but not much. I ducked back inside the Lightning, and brought out my MC12, pointed it at the horned thing and motioned for it to give my pistol back.

I smiled behind my mask. Always have a bigger gun.

=========================================================================

The creature had reached down into the big metal thing, which was rumbling away happily, it seemed.

And pulled out a bigger object.

It pointed to Twilight, then to the object Twilight was levitating away, and finally to itself. It then pointed to the bigger object and finally to the unconscious Rainbow Dash, who was being carried away on a stretcher.

It took a few seconds for Twilight to understand the signals. The creature was threatening her with the bigger object if she didn't give the smaller object back.

She sighed, and dropped the small object on the metal thing. Everything seemed to be going fine. That's when Lyra and Pinkie showed up.

=========================================================================

I saw a bright pink thing begin running through the crowd towards me when the purple one who had tried to nick my pistol earlier stopped her progress and from doing anything stupid.

None of the wierd things stopped the green one though, and as it began to approach my Lighting at a charge, I acted how anone from Auraxis would have done, no matter the faction.

I grabbed my Mag-Shot, levelled it at the approaching thing's face, and pulled the trigger hard.

=========================================================================

A loud bang echoed throughout the square as Lyra suddenly screamed out in pain. The creature pointed its gun upwards and almost casually blew the smoke that was rising from the object away like what it had just done was a everyday thing (On Auraxis, it was.)

Bon Bon ran out from the crowd towards Lyra and cradled her limp form in her hooves as the whole town watched Lyra's life slip away. As the pulse finally left Lyra's body, Bon Bon let out a cry of despair and hopelessness that tore at the heart of everypony present. The creature simply levelled the object at Bon Bon and pulled the trigger, causing Bon Bon to fall to the floor, dead.

Everypony could only stare in shock at the events which had just happened and would scar those who had witnessed them for life.

Rarity began the rant. "How... How could you? You are nothing but a ignorant, worthless, brute. You hear me? You do that once more and I'll..."

"Leave this T' me, Sugarcube." Applejack interrupted Rarity's whining, it was, after all, quite possibily the most annoying thing since Error G99. "You think your so 'igh and mighty up there, in yer metal bawx, do ya? Why don't ya 'ave a fight fair and square without any of ya fancy weapons? Face me on ma own turf? 'Fraid of ma, are ya?"

I couldn't understand what the orange one was ranting at me about, but I guessed it was taunting of some sort. However, there was always the greatest come-back in the known universe which applied no matter what race you were up against or where you were- the middle finger.

So I flipped the orange one the finger.
