Everfree forest, skyline

Okay, okay I can do this, I can do this. The slightly cloudy Alicorn thought to herself. She slowly started to reform. Right, so to recap I have come up with a plan to attack the nearby village..? Wait is it a town though? Never mind... Once I attack the village/town/city/house Princess Celestia will surely come to aid her ponies with the new-found trouble. Then we fight for a bit and then I make it look like I lost the fight THEN hopefully I don't get banished. Yep, Solid Plan Volts!


Meanwhile at the golden oaks library...

"Sorry Spike I just think it is a bit odd that Princess Celestia would send me a letter telling me to watch out for something suspicious, THEN tell me that if I see said suspicious thing to ignore it!" Twilight said as she frantically paced around the library floor. Spike, who was now worried that Twilight was going wear the floor away decided on what he could do or say to calm Twilight down, as this whole letter fiasco had clearly put her on edge. However before he could say a word Twilight continued. "Its not like we are UNABLE to help her if something happens, I mean sure, the way we stopped Sombra wasn't exactly as planned, but we still stopped him!" Now Twilight was running around the library and looking out the windows, as if she was expecting someone. Once again Spike raised his claw to show he was about to speak, he then opened his mouth and started to form a sentence.

"I thin..."

"But what if she doesn't think I am right for the task? What if she think I'm incapable of being her student? What if..."

Spike tried his hardest to filter out Twilight, as she once again fell into a endless loop of 'what if I'm not.'


"Just a little longer," Volts enjoyed talking, when she was a consonance all she could do was think, but now she can talk. Even though there was no one to talk to, she would talk. "soon I will be reformed and will be able to return! But first..." Volts glanced over to the small rock with the engraving, she picked it up with her magic and used it to 'charge' a cloud. She then used an illusion spell to make the orb appear almost ten times as large. She then used some of her more advanced magic to make the the clouds slowly take a shape around the now seemingly larger orb. once the orb was covered she brushed away the clouds that covered the engraving, she then used another illusion spell on the illusion to make the engraved bolt glow blue.

She took a step back to look at what she had created. She had made what seemed to be a large creature with four limbs, two large wing structures at the back and an area she could sit and see what was happening, the strange cloud creature also had a large glowing lightening bolt in it center. If Celestia can't figure out that weak point, were all doomed! Volts was looking at her creation a second time and then began to shape it further. While her magic was strong she would be relatively harmless while in this creature on a fact that she had a lot of focus on keeping the clouds together.

The creature now stood at the size of a large tree. The 'cloud suit' as Volts had donned it was capable to moving through the air at a relatively quick pace while maintain is weapons in good order. Power could easily be diverted from one section to the wing in order for a boost, at the cost of losing that section temporally. Volts could cast her spells and they would be funneled down into various sections, effectively allowing the suit to fire magic spells from any parts of its body.

The whole suit had taken her will into the night, and it was now early morning, Volts could just start to see the moon go down.

Suddenly Volts twitched, she knew what was happening, of course it would happen now. She quickly ran to under the thunder cloud she had charged earlier. Her body began to crackle with static energy, slowly coming out of the cloudy Alicorn, then when the static energy had covered the cloud completely, both the static and clouds flew off reviling an extremely tired Alicorn collapsed on the ground.

Volts lay on the ground for a minute, completely uncharged of energy. In this state Volts could not even maintain the spell that keeps her static form stable, and because of this she was completely normal, so to speak. She had no outstanding features except having both wings and horn. Her coat was a deep navy blue and her hair was more of a sky blue with yellow streaks running though it. Where she had not been in a physical form for the past few thousand year her hair was relatively short.

Quickly after returning to her old form Volts regained enough energy to fire a bolt of magic into the cloud above her, as instructed the cloud unloaded it static payload on the Alicorn. Once the cloud had discharged its payload, the once weak Alicorn was able to stand tall now, while she was only slightly smaller then Luna she was still a relative force that needed relative reckoning with.

The alicorn gasped quickly realizing that she had little time left before she would be found. How could I have been so stupid, I forgot about the discharge! She quickly jumped into her cloud suit and started moving over to Ponyville, hoping she had left enough time to get there.


Twilight was already awake, as of recently she had been getting up just before dawn to see the sun rise and the moon set. As she slowly drank her morning coffee she gazed over to the Everfree forest to see the sun rise, although there were no clouds on Ponyville at this time, there were a few in Everfree, but they hardly got in the way.

BOOM

Hmmm how odd, that must had come from the Everfree forest. Twilight thought to herself as she kept her watchful eye on the nearby forest, looking for signs of  a thunderstorm that may be on its way. However she could not find one. Suddenly a blue halo of static energy appeared in the forest and slowly went out.

After waking up Spike, sending a message to Celestia and running outside Twilight was truly out of breath and hoping that Celestia would come and reassure her that is was nothing serious. While gazing at Equestrias most interesting rock Twilight felt the presence of something large behind her. Hoping it was Celestia she turn around.

It wasn't Celestia.

A brief moment of horror overcame Twilight as she saw the rather large cloud monster slowly fall down from the sky.

On her way over Volts had made a few changes to the suit, one of the 'arms' was now shaped like a horn or drill. This would allow her to churn the air around it to generate high pressure zones. To what effect this would have was unknown to Volts, however it was one of those 'seems pretty cool' ideas. The other arm was shortened and widened in order to give the impression of a barrel , she had decided that flinging static electricity all over the suit would give it an unfair advantage against Celestia, so instead she would direct all her magic down the tube instead.


After what seemed like an hour of silence, but in reality was only a few seconds. The cloud beast started to fade away, as if the energy that was holding it together was fading away. After a few moments the cloud beast was no longer visible, and only a tired looking Volts and a small stone remained in its place.

"That was," Volts said rather groggily. "that was, not a good idea..."

Volts was now drained completely of energy and in a huff she fell to the floor, losing her static form and once again revealing her true and weakest form. After a brief moment of lying on the ground she glanced up, look at the lavender unicorn that was looking down at her with a face that showed both surprise and confusion.

"Ummmm, hello?" Volts said rather weakly to the unicorn that was staring down at her. Now with a bit more energy in her voice she said. "Can I help you with anything, anything at all?"

Yep, because that the only effective way to recover from what I just did, act like its normal. Volts thought to herself as she slowly regained her bearings. Volts slowly got up, being only just slightly larger then the lavender unicorn she did not have to look down at her. The unicorn remained speechless as Volts gave her somewhat of a puzzled look.

"Are you... Alright?" She asked the shocked unicorn. "Do you need any help?"

Volts was slowly regaining her energy and it would not be long until Volts would be able to put her sparky form back on, however in the meantime she debated about whether or not she had broken this poor unicorn, she occasionally poked the unicorn, trying to provoke a response however much to her disappointment this failed to do so.


Meanwhile in Canterlot

"Sister, SISTER! I just received a letter from Twilight, while it was brief it basically says..."

"Was does it say sister?"

"It says its happening, OH LUNA ITS HAPPENING!"

"Then we make must make haste to Ponyville, there is no telling what Volts will do to that place while we sit here idly!"


Back outside the golden Oaks library....

Volts was shocked, not at the lack of attention she had been receiving, but at the lack of goddesses trying to completely obliterate her, while she glared at the still frozen unicorn she thought to herself. Maybe, just maybe, they are not coming? Maybe they vanished? Or got overthrown? I mean, I made a racket coming back, so surly somepony heard me and sent a letter to them? It is rather early in the morning though... Maybe nopony is awake? Maybe... Volt's trail of thought was interrupted by a blinding flash of light behind her.

"Finally, was worried you weren't going to show up, however I need a hoof... I think I... Broke this unicorn..?"

No sooner then had Volts said that, she had turned around to see a rather angry, yet sort of confused Celestia, while Volts had not seen the Alicorn arrive she could easily recognize the little flair that Celestia had in her magic spells. Volts shuffled a bit out of the way to allow Celestia sight of the unicorn.

Almost immediately after laying eyes on Twilight, Celestia ran over to her and gave Volts a somewhat of cold look.

"What did you do to her?" Celestia said to Volts while glaring daggers at her.

"Nothing..? I mean I did have a spell going... But, but..." Volts stuttered a bit, memories of before she was banished started to resurface causing Volts to shy away a bit.

Celestia now looking down at Twilight spoke more calmly, like she normally did. "Twilight? Can you hear me?"

Almost immediately after hear her mentors voice Twilight snapped out of her trance and began talking at a rather frightful pace.

Whilst Celestia nor Volts could fully understand what she was saying, the understanding was that she was describing the events that took place, up to her being frozen in place. whilst Celestia was trying to figure out the details of what happened Volts slowly started to back away from the two. Suddenly a large aura overtook Volts and threw her to the ground. The pony that had done this said nothing other then.

"Hello Volts, its been a while."
