Blackard's Clap

**Blackard's Clap** was a was the massive fallout across all civilizations and species in the universe, which wiped out fifty percent of all life in random succession after the Necklace of The Alicorn Jewels was activated. The mass genocide was initiated by Darth Blackard at the end of the Battle of Zebrica, marking the end of his campaign to retrieve all six Alicorn Jewels.

## Background

### Obtaining the Love Jewel

The illusion worked perfectly and Blackard abducted Knellie and forced her to divulge the location of the Love Jewel with the threat of torturing her sister Cheagle with the Sun and Galaxy Jewels. Blackard's threat forced her to reveal the Jewel's location, which was hidden on Fuami. Blackard and Knellie traveled to the mysterious planet, where they were greeted by , who became the Jewel's guardian as a punishment for abusing the Sun Jewel's power during . After hearing s' elucidation that he would have to sacrifice someone he loved in order to obtain the Jewel, he tearfully threw Knellie from the cliff and was granted possession of the Love Jewel.

### Final Confrontations

Meanwhile, back on Earth, the rest of the heroes present there went to Zebrica where they requested the Elders of Zebrica and Giraffica to remove The Sea Jewel from Caspian so they could destroy it without killing him. However, the land was attacked by the Puce Shadow and Blackard's army of Outcasters. But everyone present fought back. Just as Duke Orion arrived with his newly forged weapon, Typhoon Cracker with Jetpack and Chuff by his side. The Outcasters and the remaining members of the Puce Shadow were eventually defeated and killed. Meanwhile, on Jondef, Blackard was confronted by the combined efforts of Sci-Twi, Sharky, Mako, Sheema, Willy, Grizzar, Silverstream, Ace Uno, Crocodog, Astra, Ramon, Crippin, Zina, Gypsy Flitter, and Cheagle. Although the group managed to briefly overwhelm Blackard, he used the power of the four Jewels to gain the upper hand. A beaten Sci-Twi then relinquished the Moon Jewel to Blackard so that he wouldn't kill Willy. Having obtained the fifth Jewel, Blackard used the Galaxy Jewel to teleport himself to Zebrica.

In the forests of Zebrica, Blackard appeared and used the Jewels to subdue the heroes before making his way to Umbrina, who was using her powers to destroy the Sea Jewel in Caspian's forehead. Although she managed to destroy the last Jewel and Caspian with it, Blackard used the Sun and Moon Jewels to reverse Umbrina's destruction, restoring Caspian to life and repairing the Sea Jewel. After extracting the Jewel and killing Caspian, Blackard completed the Necklace with all six Jewels and prepared to use it but was caught aback when Orion brutally attacked him with Typhoon Cracker, momentarily disarming the Psychocorn.

As Orion confronted and reminded Blackard that he made a promise to kill him for his actions during the Attack on the , including his murders of and half of the Shovorynnians, Blackard simply taunted him that Orion should have aimed for his neck to ensure his swift death. Recovering from his injury, Blackard, much to Orion's horror, raised his front hooves and clapped to activate the Necklace and passed out.

He awakened in the Soulworld where he approached a younger Knellie, who asked him if he completed his mission, to which he solemnly replied yes. Knellie asked what it cost him, to which he replied "everything". Blackard then returned to his consciousness and, his plan completed used the Galaxy Jewel to escape Zebrica travel to the Garden.

## The Clap

Shortly after the activation of the Necklace, the destructive effects of Blackard's Clap began to take hold, with half of all life in the universe disintegrating in random succession. Outside Earth and Jondef, several more casualties on different planets, systems, and even certain places in the Multiverse were effected.

### Earth

On Earth, there were at least 5,700,000,000 individuals confirmed deceased or missing worldwide, according to a statistic in the Equinelantis Jedi Temple. Both sentient and insentient beings perished in the Clap, including the bacteria in the bodies of the Clap survivors.

In Zebrica, Thomas was the first to die, fading from existence in front of Eddy and Orion. The raging battle quickly wound down into a ceasefire as many Zebrican, Giraffican, and Clone Army forces began to fade from existence. While the survivors watched in horror. As Kanan dropped his Lightsaber and fell to his knees, as Ezra rushed to his side, only to watch as his master fade in his hands with only his Lightsaber and Blaster remaining. Jetpack then tearfully watched as Chuff fading, as he could do nothing to save him now. Kneeling over Caspian's lifeless body, Umbrina could do nothing as she peacefully faded from existed. Hidden in long grass, Dexter faded from existence as Double-D called out to him, not realizing his comrade was already gone. James then collapses to his knees as Ruby and Red rush over to him, he then tells them to remember everything he taught them before faded in front of their faces, as Ruby started bawling her eyes out over losing her father, which only worsened when Rarity faded next. Twilight searching for Thomas then dropped in front of her brother, Nyx, Spike, and Celestia. As Mushu then jumped onto her, begging her to stay with them, but Twilight could say there was nothing to stop it, before fading, as Mushu fell to the ground, as he frantically felt the grass for any sign of Twilight, only for Spike to tell him he was wasting time. As Celestia fell to her knees, trying to hold back tears of losing her faithful student, as Armor tried the same but was failing. While Nyx then silently began weeping as Mushu hugged her, letting tears fall from his eyes.
