"No!" A voice boomed in the sky. "It can't end like this, I won't let it end like this!"
Shining through the darkened skies a bolt of light made its way toward the silhouette, that was cursing the skies.
"Ahhhh, no it can't be," the voice became quieter, "noooo..." and then it was gone.
Current day Equestria high above the skies
High up in the skies of Equestria existed a voice, not one that could be heard, not one that could speak, but a voice that could think. The voice was aware of its surrounds as much as a voice in the air could be. All the voice was able to do was think to itself. And think it did.
How many years has it been? How long have I spent up here in the sky I once claimed ownership to? How long has it been since the magic holding me here started to weaken? How long will it be until I can return to a place that called home? How will I be welcomed back? Will I be sent away? Will I be thrown in a dungeon, never again to see the blue skies? Will I be killed for my past? Will the ponies who were running Equestria still be in charge? Or will they have been overthrow by some demonic overlord, that I may have to stop or join?
The voice asked itself these questions daily, always expecting an answer but never getting it. The voice however was smart, smart to the extent where it was aware that whoever was holding the spell that was keeping the voice from reforming was slowly getting weaker or diverting their power elsewhere. Not long now and I will be free. This thought was strange for the voice because it was not a question, but it was fact. The voice knew that someday maybe not today, maybe not even this week but sometime she would be free. She would be free. I will be free.
Meanwhile in Canterlot
"Sister!" Luna screeched as loudly and quietly as she could.
"What ever is the matter Luna?" Celestia inquired, wondering what had been so important for her breakfast to be interrupted.
"Can you not feel it," Luna spoke in a somewhat stressed voice. "she is returning!"
Celestia raised an eyebrow, "You're going to have to be a bit more specific then that Lulu, I am expecting alot of 'shes' to return at some point or another." Celestia sighed an resumed drinking her tea, with slow lady like sips.
Luna, almost in shock that her sister seems to be taking the news so well decided that maybe saying who she dealing with might just make her relies the magnitude of the situation. "Well sister, it would seem that you have forgotten who we are dealing with!" Luna spoke almost as calmly as Celestia did while circling her older sister. "Surely sister you have not forgotten about her."
Celestia put her cup down and with a slight annoyance in her voice returned with, "No," now almost barking at her younger sister. "and I won't unless you tell me who is!"
Luna sighed, now aware that her sister was not going to guess identity of the risk. "The pony who is returning is none other than,"
"Yes?"
"Volts."
An eerie silence filled the room. the open door letting in a cool breeze that reminded the two alicorns that neither of them were dreaming in, the cold reality that another old evil will be returning to Equestria in the nearby future was setting in. Celestia continued to drink her tea at the same rate she had been before Luna had burst in.
"Sister?" Luna asked worryingly.
"It will be alright Luna, I will handle her." Celestia said calmly.
"But sister, do you not remember last time? She had nearly killed you. If it weren't for the-"
"Elements, I know Luna but," She sighed "however she hasn't had the opportunity to grow strong like our other perils had, she has been nothing but a consonance floating in the sky, only able to think about what she has done. If anything I am hoping that we will not need to ask Twilight and her friends for help this time around," Celestia chuckled a bit, "it would be nice to give them a break after dealing with Sombra, I am certain they could use the rest."
"But sister surely Twilight, your student, the student who has spent her whole life in a library would have read up about Volts and her history. After all she played more then a vital role in making Equestria what it is today."
Celestia suddenly became very cold. "No Luna, she is NOT in any of the history books, she is NOT in any of the ancient stone tablets that you may find scatter across Equestria, she does NOT exist as far as they are concerned Luna."
"But why sister? Why would you remove her from history?" Luna ask with a confused look on her face.
"I-I had to," Celestia sighed. "she did things, things that would put Sombra to shame. She never enslaved, kill or hurt anypony but what she did was enough."
Luna raised an eyebrow. "And what was that sister?"
Celestia looked her sister dead on, with a bit of a glare. "Do you remember back before the complete set up of all the major hubs in Equestria," Luna nodded. "Well when they were more like small settlements Volts had just started her rampage surely you remember this?" Once again Luna nodded, not interrupting her sister. "Well," Celestia spoke very coldly now. "Volts had the audacity to 'take a few' off the map completely, gone, poof, no more, about 6 unnamed settlements all gone and burned to the ground violent thunderstorms."
"Sister! What about the ponies who lived there? I though you said..."
"No worries Luna, while her storms burned the settlements to the ground they were slow and the ponies were able to flee to other areas. Thinking about it the influx of ponies into the settlements probably lead to the larger ones becoming cities and towns like Manehatten."
For a brief amount of time there was silence in the room, the two sister staring at each other, both speechless at what had been said. finally Luna said. "I though you said she was worse then Sombra? Surely if she did not kill anypony but in fact lead to cities being built, she is not that bad?" Then Luna smiled a bit "Maybe she could see into the future, and besides oooOOOooo watch out i'm a slow moving storm that can be easily controlled by weather teams!" Luna and Celestia chuckled, then laughed, then laughed loudly, almost to the point of rolling on the floor.
"Thank you sister, even if you were the barer of bad news you always know what to say to make me happy."
Meanwhile above Canterlot
Not long now. Not long at all. I can feel it. The magic it is weakening. Soon, soon I will be free! Free to have my revenge? Yes REVENGE! But wouldn't that make me just as bad as they were? No it wouldn't because they weren't bad. Thinking about it. What did you do Volts?
"I don't know..." Some time passed before, "I am speaking? I am talking? I am reforming? I am..?"
Silenced filled the area that the voice was coming from, a group of clouds that were drifting over the Everfree forest.
