Act 2: Where are we now?

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Somewhere above the Everfree forest

In the skyline of the Everfree forest a group of clouds slowly started to amass around a single cloud, almost as if they were being forced to, but that doesn't happen in Everfree. The clouds roam around freely, so why are they amassing around a single cloud?

The voice, the once only conscious voice, was now starting to reform into herold form, before the banishment, before being bound to the skies. The voice now had a somewhat physical form of interaction, she could control the clouds as she pleased, allowing the voice to hop to and fro between areas. As the voice jumped between clouds trying to find an area to reform safely. She couldn't help but remember her questions.

What will I do when I have been reformed? Revenge always seemed like such a good idea, but why? Why would I harm those who wronged eons ago? Surely if I did, or try'd to I would be asked the same question.

Why?

When an Alicorn that has the same properties as Volts chooses to reform from a conscious state they will suffer three large give-aways. Firstly, all cloud in the nearby vicinity will be drawn towards him or her. Secondly, upon reaching the final stage of the reformation a huge amount static energy will be released, while not harmful to anypony the static energy can be traced back to its point origin and in Volt's case this would be bad for her. And finally when Volts has full reformed she will be very weak, weak to the point where the simplest of untrained unicorn magi could banish her a second time with little effort.

The cluster of clouds that were now containing the slowly reforming volts settled down at the edge of the Everfree forest, next to a small village. close enough so that she could slip away when fully formed but far away enough to both ditch anyone who was nearby and also avoid the weather teams.

While slowly reforming in the clouds the being that was regrowing thought to itself.

What makes me so bad? What did I do? Can I undo it? Have I been forgiven? I ask so many question... and expect the answers to fall right out of the sky.


Eons ago, in Canterlot halls, day court is in session

"...And with the new energy source..."

"...Of course I am aware of the risk that it poses but it should be nothing that we can't solve within the first few week or days of enabling it..."

"...But this could send us years ahead, think about it for a moment, an infinite power well which all lifeforms can draw from..."

"...turning it into a weapon would be a last ditch resort in a battle we are losing. It could wipe out all life on Equestria..."

"...No Princess i'm not saying you're wrong, I just personally think that..."

"...NO! I DO NOT SEE MY JOB AS A 'FAVOR' GAINER THE FACT THAT..."

"...Celestia you are making a huge mistake, mark my words I will be back, I will have it finished, there will be nothing you can do to stop me. Surely you can understand what it is like?.."

"If you wish to stop me so be it. Lets see how your precious little subjects deal with a bit of hard rain. I mean its not like I made it so that the Pegasus could take control of the weather. Oh wait I did."


Current day the edge of the Everfree forest

The voice was now capable of being just that: a voice.

"I wish I had been more patient, she would have agreed to it eventually, once she saw how much good it would do." The voice sighed, heard twisting and turning in all directions.

"But she still had no right to do what she did! I may have acted rash, but it's not like anypony got killed in what I did. Did they?" The voice was now mulling over the choices it had made, wondering what would happen to it if it were to step foot on Equestria again.

"I would get banished again," the voice seemed to pause for a moment, "but where to?"


Meanwhile in Golden Oak Library

"Oh isn't today wonderful Spike?" Twilight asked as she hurried downstairs eager to stay indoors on a fine cloudless day.

"Ugh" Spike groan as he slowly got out of bed, it was early in the morning, but late for Twilight, she had decided to let the baby dragon have a day where he could sleep in, after all he had only just recently saved an entire kingdom from the tyrannical overlord that was King Sombra... with a bit of help.

Suddenly the dragon perked up, and rather promptly spat out a small scroll sealed with the royal Canterlot seal, promptly catching it in one claw. He then looked over the scroll before saying in an almost sing-song fashion, "Ohhhhhh Twilighttttttttt you have a message from Celestiaaaaaa!"

Twilight quickly ran over to the baby dragon snatching the message from his claw with a levitation spell while she sat down at a nearby bench ready to open it. "Funny, I didn't expect Celestia to send a message so quickly after the last, regardless thanks Spike... My number one assistant." The little dragon blushed a bit before heading downstairs to sort out books.

Twilight cautiously unbound the letter from the seal and opened it up, she slowly examined the contents of the letter to read:

Dear my faithful student Twilight Sparkle

It has occurred to me due to the recent events that have transpired in the Crystal Kingdom various weather patterns in Equestria have been show anomalies, if for any reason you see any clouds act out of the ordinary, for example: Not moving when they should be, please contact me. Also and large static outbursts that you may witness are also needed to be reported to me.

Princess Celestia

P.S under No circumstances are you to go near any of the clouds in question, or find the point of origin from the static storm.

Odd. Very odd.


"Really Tia? You think that letter is going to be enough to keep Twilight and he friends away? If anything you made them more curious!" Luna bellowed at her sister.

"Luna you should know lying isn't my strong suit, and yes looking back at it I could have worded that letter, a bit better..."

"Oh Tia, you make me laugh sometimes." Luna said chuckling to herself about the blunder her older sister had made. "However," Luna's tone became alot serious all of a sudden. "where do you think she will materialize?"

"I would say near Ponyville, but that is so typical for evil do-ers to go there."

"Maybe she was counting on you saying that?"

"Maybe Lulu, Maybe."


My options are as follows I can:

A: Go to Canterlot and plead that I do not get banished and be offered a second chance.

B: I could go on a rampage and destroy large parts of Canterlot, while also taking my revenge on Celestia.

C: I can always stay quiet about coming back, and then integrate into to modern pony society.

D: Not reform and spend the rest of my eternal life living as a cloud in the sky.

E: Ahhhh plan E you are a bit complex then the other aren't you? The one in one-thousand plan.

In order to help her slowly reforming mind cope with these choices Volts conjured up five magical constructs of herself and her possible encounters with them, each acting one of the five plans that she had prepared.

Plan A as she had named it was simply her begging at the hooves of princess Celestia, Begging for forgiveness. This plan was the most shameful of the five plans, and it had two possible outcomes.

Outcome A-One: Celestia forgiving Volts and allowing her to live like she did before, this was the more favorable outcome for Volts, however.

Outcome A-Two: Princess Celestia throws Volt's begging aside and banishes her again. Not quiet what Volts was looking for.

Plan B or the 'Go crazy and try and take as many ponies down with me' plan as said it showed Volts using her various unique forms of magic to destroy, burn and otherwise obliterate everything however unlike Plan A this only had one outcome.

Outcome B-One: The Princess will once again use the Elements of Harmony on me and thus banish me from Equestria again.

Plan B was only to be done as a last resort, of a last resort. I.E if Plan A fails but I am able to get away briefly.

Plan C or the 'Outa sight outa mind' plan, where Volts would simply use her magic to hide her horn when she reforms and then integrate in pony society, and living a regular life. this gave one Two outcomes:

Outcome C-One: Live a regular life and not get banished. Seems pretty good, but Volts was never one for the 'regular life'

Outcome C-Two: get found out and ratted to Celestia and most likely BANISHED or not...

Plan D: The lazy plan, the hide and wait for it all to never blow over, Yup... only one outcome here

Outcome D-Cloud-not-9: Live as a cloud for the eternity that is my life.

Why do I even plan four other plans if I know I am going with Plan E? Oh well.

Plan E: Plan E entailed a 'mock' attack on Canterlot. Volts is capable of dealing massive damage however she is also somewhat of a illusionist and is also rather good at throwing fights, making weak points obvious and having magic 'back-fire' on her. No without a doubt in her mind she knew what she was going to do. She was going to attack Canterlot wait...

Why not just attack this innocent looking village? It's near enough to Canterlot that the Princess will come rushing to its aid, plus it means I don't have to fly miles! and besides it's just a harmless village, not like they have the Elements of Harmony living in it right?

Volts felt her strength returning and prepared to reform, while doing this she made plans for the 'Mock' attack on the small little village of Ponyville...


I could not have been more wrong in my entire life.
