Rory wasn't sure how big he could make the ball, he had never really tried to see how much stardust he could create at once, and it just seemed to keep coming. Pretty soon the ball was as big as a baseball, and then a basket ball, then a beachball. Rory was getting a little nervious as the ball began to reach the size of a car. "I think this is as big as I should go," he said, not sure how big an explosion this was going to make. The raised it up and launched it skyward, waiting for the giant sphere to shrink in the distance before daring to set it off.
When it was high in the sky, he let it go. There was a huge flash as the sphere exploded all at once, eerily silent from the distance as it lit up the entire coastline. There was a mach cone around it as air was displaced, and the sea could be seen to distort as the force reached it, the line of the shockwave rushing towards them. Then there was a deafening boom and a huge influx of air as it hit them. Rory was knocked off his feet as if someone had just run into him, and for a moment all he could here was the ringing in his ears before the light of the explosion fizzled out, leaving him temporarily blinded as his eyes tried to adjust to the darkness again.
