Act 3: Fragments of the past

Inside the main chambers of the Canterlot Castle three Alicorns converse, they talk about the future and what it holds for them, they talk about ways to ensure that Pony population stays safe, they talk about ways they can make their world flourish.
Celestia, who standing no taller then Luna does currently addressed Volts; who body seems to radiate electricity.
"And you think this will be able to help the population how? The Pegasi already have the weather under control." she stated hoping to knock the Alicorn down a few pegs.
"Well Princesses, while the Pegasi currently move the weather to and fro, my plan, no, my magic, will make it so that Pegasi can easily chose when the weather does what, rather then just move it to and fro."
"How?" Princess Luna, who was no taller the Cadance said in shock.
"Well its simple," the Volts said. "I use my magic to create a small micro climate, then I simply enlarge it until it it pushes the old climate out. The micro climate can have various... should we called them 'features' that allow for things such as Pegasi being able to have more control."
"Well? said Princess Celestia, who was nearly sold on the idea. "It could be worth looking into. However I must know, do these 'Micro climate' risk running out our old one?"
"Yes, but not the way you might think," Volts quickly recovered. "Since they are controlled by my magic I get to make them the appropriate size, rest assure Princesses I will not make anything that is grievously out of proportion. I simply wish to Equestria do well."
"Very well, we shall allow you to try your magic, but if you do anything to endanger this new empire I will personally banish you from this plane of existence."
She wasn't lying...
Volts was sat on a cloud, she was not fully formed however reformed enough that she could materialize lightning to take her form. She glanced around at her surroundings, while she had a form, it was unable to stray far from the cloud that it was formed in. However as she allowed the cloud to drift around she noticed a small stone that was out of place. A completely smooth sphere with a small thunderbolt engraved into it, upon touching the stone it seemed to crackle and hiss, as if it still had some energy inside it.
"Just one recharge..." Volts cradled the ball close to her chest and sighed. It brought back memories of when she was working for the two Princesses.
Canterlot Eons ago
"Volts!" A voice called out from across the hallway. "Volts! I've been looking for you everywhere."
"Really Luna?"
"Yes, yes," The midnight Alicorn said almost failing to hide a large grin. "While Celestia may not seem like it, we both really appreciate the work you have been doing! You have been making the weather alot easier to run."
"Yes I know that," Volts said while trying to hide the faintest of blushes. "but why are you looking for me?" Giving Luna a brief puzzled look.
"Well," Luna said looking down at the small Alicorn. "I noticed that after you expand the Micro climate you always seem tired..."
"Yes," interrupted Volts. "Magical exhaustion, oops where are my manners, sorry Princess."
"Don't worry about it Volts," Luna said this with a smile that may not be seen again for thousands of years, one that made Volts feel warm and safe. "I decided to get you an item that may help you with this!"
Luna excitedly present a small gray sphere. The rock itself was smooth to the touch, this gave Volts the impression that it was once alot large and somepony had put alot of time and effort into get it right. On what would be the front of the sphere was a engraving of a thunderbolt. As the rock changed hoofs it seemed to glow and crackle with energy, as it had just been awoken.
After a brief then long explanation, Luna demonstrated to Volts how she could use energy stored up in the rock in order to 'recharge' her spark. after a brief exchange of farewells the two Alicorns parted ways for the time being.
What went wrong?
Canterlot, current day
"If were are assuming that she hasn't changed to much since our last encounter, Volts will most likely be very strong and very angry." Celestia spoke calmly, but it was not without a pinch of fear.
"Well," Princess Luna said with a hint of caution. "with all that has happened in the recent week and months, it may be a good idea to have the Elements are standby."
"Yes but given what they have been through in the past week," Princess Celestia said, slowly walking over to Luna. "I can't drag them into another one of my thousand year problems that I keep having."
"But sister, you know that the elements would be more then happy to help you in your time of need don't you? Surely if we neglect them we will be in a worse state then if we did not."
"Yes I know Luna, but this could be dangerous, this could be bad, this could be..."
"It can't be worse then Sombra!" Luna interrupted abruptly .
"You are right, but unlike Sombra, this is MY problem Luna, this is something I caused, I should have to deal with it." Celestia said as her gaze slowly fell to the ground.
"Then deal with her!" Luna bellowed in the massive halls, her voice bounced around as it echoed, then Luna continued. "But do so with the help of your friends!"
The great halls of Canterlot fell silent.
"Why do you not trust her?" Luna angrily said to her sister. "All she has done is help us, yet you treat her like dirt!"
"Sister," Celestia said calmly. "You have to try and see it from my side of the story, I am trying to look out for Equestria."
"I could understand if that was your excuses Two years ago but now," Luna spoke with a very clear disappointed tone in her voice. "Just give her a chance sister, please that is all I'm asking..."
"Sister," Celestia now spoke firmly. "What has she done to you? How has she gotten in your head? HOW HAS SHE TURNED MY OWN SISTER AGAINST ME?"
"No... sister..."
"Nothing," Celestia now spoke coldly. "I do now want you seeing her again, nor do I want her seeing you. By my generosity you may see her one last time and said what has transpired."
Luna was almost in tears as her sister turned her back on her and left the room.
"So never again?" A sad Volts said sadly. "I guess I should have seen this coming, don't worry I won't get you in any more trouble."
"But you haven't done anything wrong!" Luna said angrily. "I don't know why but my sister, she, she just doesn't trust you!"
"Well I am..."
"No!" Luna shouted angrily. "Don't try and make what she did seem right, you have been here for two years now, two years! And she still treats you like dirt!"
"Luna I know you are angry but," Volts sighed. "she is just trying to do her best for Equestria, she does not mean it."
"Maybe you are right, maybe I am just angry and maybe this will just all blow over." Luna said hopefully.
"Thats the spirit Luna!" Volts said with a renewed hope. "Just keep looking up and everything will be okay!"
I Never told you how sorry I was Luna...
