In da future

Silver grabbed Pinkie and sprinted towards more stable ground while the large looming figure of Iblis swung his giant fist towards the damaged highway, destroying it easily. Silver jumped as the highway collapsed under him and used his power to fly over to a fallen skyscraper. He dropped Pinkie once they reached the fallen building and the two began running to the other side.

Iblis roared and swung his gigantic arm through the air, sending a wave of lava balls off towards the two. Acting quickly, Silver turned around and grabbed a nearby oil tanker buried under some rubble before throwing it towards the incoming swarm of lava. "Shoot it!" He yelled to Pinkie, who smirked, pulled out her Party Bazooka and fired a rocket towards the tanker.

As the tanker was about to pass by the lava balls, the rocket reached it, causing a huge explosion which triggered a chain reaction as the lava balls exploded one after the other. "That was so cool! Let's do it again!" Pinkie exclaimed with excitement.

"How about no?!" Silver shouted back as they continued running.

"So, what's the plan?" Pinkie asked as she casually skated beside the white hedgehog.

"The plan is we run!"

Pinkie looked at him confused. "What? Why don't we just battle him? It could be fun~"

"Pinkie, if I could fight him right now I would, but, and I know this is hard to believe, there are people in the buildings!" Silver explained as he jumped over a pile of smashed concrete.

Pinkie frowned and looked out towards another building, noticing a few humans and mobians hiding away, afraid for their lives, shaking in fear.

"We need to lead him out of the city! Less people will die that way!"

Pinkie's mane began to deflate as she started to slow down, catching a glimpse of a child cowering alone, her ears picking up its distant cries.

"No..." She whispered as shadows appeared over her eyes.

"What?" Silver stopped running and looked at the pony in confusion, although soon realised they would be vulnerable to attack and readied his power to block anything thrown at them.

"No." Pinkie said louder as she turned around and began to walk towards the towering lava monster.

"What do you think you're doing?! Did you not hear me about the whole less people dying thing?!" Silver exclaimed as he tried to grab her with his power.

She stood still for only a moment before she broke free of his hold, pulling out her now glowing chaos emerald that began to emit negative energy. Silver could only watch as Pinkie continued to walk towards Iblis.

Iblis' three green reptilian eyes locked onto the pink pony, letting out a mighty, blood curdling roar as he crashed his two giant fists into the sides of the fallen building, challenging her to attack.

Pinkie suddenly vanished before reappearing in front of Iblis' upper eye. She glared into his eye before curling into a spindash, only, she didn't stop picking up speed. She just kept spinning more and more violently until finally she shot straight through Iblis' head with a powerful blast of speed.

Iblis roared in pain and tried to strike her with tentacles of lava, only to have them blasted to pieces with Chaos Spears. Pinkie then used Chaos Control again to teleport herself in front of his other eye. But she didn't attack, she landed on the cracked rock that he used as armour and grabbed the sides of his eye, glaring into it.

"Listen here...and listen good...there's one thing I can't stand, out of everything there is one thing I can't look at positively, and that thing is taking away the smiles of even just one person." She began in a low voice, Iblis becoming still, listening to her voice. "You've not only taken away the smiles of these people...you've taken their hope, their homes, their memories, their happiness, friends, family, their very lives!" She yelled in absolute anger, glaring into the monsters eye with pure rage. "I know I can't put you down permanently right now...but when I find a way...and I will..." Pinkie's eyes glowed white as her fur and mane became darker, her chaos emerald starting to become grey with negative energy. "I will wipe you from the face of every single reality or timeline."

Iblis roared in defiance as he opened his large mouth, Pinkie was knocked into the air, taken by surprise. Her chaos emerald fell out of her hoof and her body returned to normal before Iblis snapped his mouth shut around her.

Before he could swallow, a series of steel support beams stabbed into his body, two piecing his eyes, blinding him. Silver stood with his hands stretched out, breathing heavily, with a nearby destroyed construction site now lacking any steel beams. "Now...fall..." He gasped out in exhaustion.

Iblis roared in pain, causing Pinkie and the emerald to drop out of his mouth. With the very little amount of power left in him, Silver caught the two and floated them down to him before falling to his hands and knees in exhaustion. Iblis gave out one final roar before his body sank into the sea of lava below to regenerate.

Silver sighed in relief and rolled onto his back to rest, Pinkie sitting next to him with her mane over her eyes. "So...wanna explain what that was?" Silver asked as he felt his power starting to build up again.

Pinkie remained silent, her mane still deflated slightly.

Silver slowly sat up and reached a hand over to her, brushing her mane to the side, when he did, he saw tears starting to build up in her eyes. "Oh...are...are you ok?"

Pinkie sniffles before opening her mouth. "Why?" She asked quietly. Silver didn't know how to respond, so he stayed quiet. "Why did all of this have to happen to the people? Why is everything so miserable?" She asked in a tone that broke Silvers heart.

"Well...that's what I've been trying to figure out...it's why I went after your dad." Silver spoke softly, stroking her back in an effort to comfort her. "No one knows why Iblis was released. His vessel may have cried, it may have perished without finding a suitable replacement beforehand, there could be many reasons. But even if I don't know how it happened, I'm going to do everything I can to make sure it never happens in the first place, to make sure this horrible future never, ever has to happen...even if that means I cease to exist..."

Pinkie looked to him and saw the pain in his eyes, he almost looked desperate. "Who did you lose?" She asked.

Silver looked away and clenched his fists. "Everyone...everyone but Blaze..."

Pinkie didn't know what to say, her mind still felt clouded from when the negative chaos energy took control of her. After a few moments of stillness and silence, Pinkie placed a hoof on Silvers hand.

Silver never took his eyes off of the horrific landscape before him as he turned his hand over and grasped Pinkies hoof gently.

The two sat in silence, taking their time to recover from both physical and mental exhaustion.
