Dark Awakening

Everfree Forest Ancient seal time unknown
A dark shadow looms from within an ancient seal within the forest, "how long have i been gone?" pondered the shadowy being, curious he takes a look at the broken seal with six gems on it
"Generosity? Laughter? Kindness? Loyalty? Honestly? Magic? The Six Elements Seal?" he noticed that Magic wasn't glowing, so the shadowy pony sniffs the air sensing the disturbance of the missing element
"so one element is gone from the world?" pondered the Shadowy markless Alicorn "somehow with that element missing i am free?" he started to chuckle, which grew into a full on insideous laugh "Ah Starswhirl by you manky beard you failed to seal me away, Shame too Luna and Celestia would've made for good slaves, for i Lord Shadowmane, am free, now it is time to exact my revenge on the ones who sealed me away"
a short clearing away he hears laughter, curious Shadowmane uses a simple invisibility he sneaks up on the source of the laughter.

2;18pm Manehatten Library
Shining Armor approached the Manehatten library for the first time in several months, hoping to catch a friend off his.
As he entered the main entrance he beckoned the head librarian over
"Excuse me is Tempest Stormwind around?" he enquired
"The head of the crystal Empire archiving division? Yes he is" replied the librarian "shall I get you an escort down to the basement?"
"Yes I think that would be best" he replies remembering the last time he came here he got a bit lost.....
10 minutes later
"Great to see you Stormer" calls Shining Armor as he entered the archive room a young emerald coloured pegasus with an blue mane, purple eyes and a 3 storm clouds cute mark looks up from his work, smiling he walks over to the young knight.
"How have you been shining armor?" asks Tempest giving Shining a secret hoof shake "no don't tell me queen Chrysasis has hypnotized you again and you’re gonna get her pregnant"
Shining snorted "very funny Stormer, but no I have come here to check on the archiving and inventory work you and your team have been assigned"
"its going well we are about half way done"
Shining Armor opened his mouth in shock "seriously?"
"yeah seriously its been abit painful at times with a constant shift of staff" Tempest just smiled, "but you know me leave me a near impossible job and I'll do it, you alright?"
"erm, yeah good" replies shining still shocked that Tempest has done what was estimated as three years worth off archiving from the crystal empire archives in six months "so *clears throat* do you want to meet up later? i have a new job opportunity for you i'd like to talk about"
"Sure sounds great the crystal-hoof cafe at 3pm?"
"The Crystal-hoof? You mean the new cafe that crystal pony, Sunstone opened?"
"Yeah thats the one, see you then"

3pm The Crystal-hoof cafe
Shining Armor waiting outside the cafe looking down the street, worried that Tempest would be late, but he needn't worried, as he checked in the direction of the library, he saw Tempest walking up the street 'he still can't flying' Armor thought to himself 'I still blame myself for the incident with the changelings, even though my love cadance still insists it’s not my fault'

"So my old captain what did you want to talk about?" asks Tempest as he got himself a chocolate smoothe
"You remember Cadance talking to you last week about getting some ancient scrolls transferred from the library to Ponyville's new museum?"
"Mmmhmm"
"Well we, that is me and Cadance were wondering, would you like to be head curator at the museum? As you’re a master off organizing we think you'd be perfect for the job" Shining Armor then looked deadly serious at young Stormwind, "I also want someone to keep an eye on somepony close to me"
"Princess Twilight Sparkle?" inquires Tempest
"Yes my sister, as you know she was recently crowned, and although the four guards she will be assigned are great I would feel better if you helped too"
"So you want a former knight with a busted wing to help out?" Shining Armor nods "sure I'd help" replies Tempest "anything for the lovely Cadance" he added with a smirk
"Oi! Stormer that's my wife get your own" laughs shining "right the new position opens next week, but I want to show you round the town, so shall we meet up tomorrow 12pm at the station?"
"What about my old job?" inquires tempest
"No worries all the paper work shall be taken care off" informs Shining
"In that case sire see you tomorrow" Tempest left with a smile.

3:30pm Everfree Forest
"boy ah sure did have fun at Zecora's, but ah better get back home, it's 3:30 i don't wanna have Granny Smith or Big Macintosh mad at me again, glad ma big Sister is off in the Crystal Empire, Ah can't wait to see Sweetie Belle, shame Scootaloo is sick with that old feather fever" he heard the young filly say to herself, Shadowmane smiled, 'I need information on what has changed, she should be able to tell me something useful' using a transformation spell, he changed his appearance to that off a blue unicorn, with a star cutie mark, as he didn't want to cause suspicion, using a teleportation spell he teleported in front of the young filly.
"Arghhh!" the filly screamed
"Calm down i mean you no harm" replied shadow-mane 'not my best plan, I should've called her from behind' he thought on his stupidity, quickly dismissing it he introduced himself
"I am Theo F Allen, i seem abit lost young one can you tell me where Kage-castle is?"
The young confused filly answered "Ah'm sorry mister Theo but ah don't know off any Aggi-castle, Ah know where Princess Celestia's castle is in Canterlot" replies the filly "Oh!" she exclaims remembering her manners "Ah haven't introduced Mah self-have I? Mah name is Applebloom a cutie mark crusader!!"
'Curses' thought Shaodwmane 'that accursed Princess Celestia, has already taken my Canterlot capital. As the supreme monarch of this world that will not stop me', he looks at Applebloom and smiles
"Okay then Applebloom thank you for your information here is your reward" without warning Shaodwmane cast a spell upon the young filly.
"Now listen up" he bellowed "when you hear my voice you are under my control understand?" Applebloom nodded "Good for now go and fetch my the last few weeks’ worth off news, I need to know what i have missed, I doubt I have been gone long..."
"Understood master"
"Oh and don't mention about meeting me in the forest, i don't want the two Alicorn princesses finding out"
"Four master"
a"FOUR!?!? Servant explain NOW!" Shaodwmane bellowed
"They Are Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadance an Mah friend and newly appointed Princess Twilight Sparkle" replies Applebloom
"Right go and get me my news i need time to think" 'curses 4 Alicorn princesses? Celestia my sweet you have been busy, not no matter i shall have my revenge.....'

A five minutes ago Zecora's hut

'I hope that young filly makes her way home safe' thought Zecora working on her latest brew, 'As she stays later and later helping me, i fear the visit from Big Mac is due soon..' Zecora jumped with a start as she heard a scream from down the path 'Applebloom is in plight that much is certain, what ails her i do not know, but to her aid i must go' Zecora grab several potions off the shelf a bolted to were the scream was coming from.....

Chapter 2 Duel in the forest

CHAPTER 2

Duel in the forest

3:40pm Everfree Forest
Zecora raced towards where she heard Apple Blooms scream 'pray for her saftety i do, for the wraith of the Apples i do not want' as she neared the clearing she saw two figures talking, one was Apple Bloom, one was a unicorn whom she did not know, but from his demeanor and the fact he was yelling, she knew he would be trouble, as she saw Applebloom take of to ponyville, Zecora decided to keep watch on the strange unicorn...

3:45pm Manhatten Sapphire horse appartments
Tempest was estactic that he was getting a new job opportunity and a chance to thank Shining and Cadance for all they had done for him after the attack several years ago, Tempest shuddered for a moment remembering that dreadful day, but quickly dismissed it, he went to his mantle peace where he kept his medals from both the royal cantalot army and the wonderbolts, and picked up a small blue orb with a lion image inside it, holding it in his hoof he smiled a sad smile, remembering when his father gave it too him, he decided to put it in his bag alonside his medals.
A short time later he was packed ready for the big day tomorrow.

4:15pm Everfree Forest
Zecora watched as the male unicorn took a selection of what appears to be newspaper articles, and a history book from Apple Bloom, as she inched closer she heard the stalion talk "Well done my puppet, no go live your life for now, as your master needs time to think" Apple Bloom bows and trots away
'master?' thought Zecora 'what does he mean by master?'
"Stranger who are you to call young Apple Bloom your servant" demaned Zecora
The stallion turned to face her "i am Theo F Allen, and you are?" he replies
"Zecora is my name" she replied
"Thank you Zecora" he replies "now obey me"
"NO!" she replied feeling a strange sensation
"strange that should've worked" he then takes a step back, and charges his horn "no matter i shall deal with you swiftly"
Zecora lobbs several vials of potion at the stallion, which he just appears to struggs off "Ha potion magic i forgot how primitive it is to Alicorn Magic" Theo mocks
"Alicorn magic?? are you an Alicorn?" Inquires Zecora
The stallion appears to relaise he made a blunder but he nods "yes i am" Zecora couldn't believe it, she saw his spell vanish and in its place a black Alicorn with red hair appears
"see? this is my true form" he gloats as he flapped his wings, to fly, only to stay on the ground "Blasted wings why won't they..." he sees his right wing is damaged "Curse you Zebra" he mutters "but no problem", he blasts a powerful spell at Zecora, who dodges and lobbs another vial at the Alicorn "Dark Alicorn know not who you are, but stop you i shall" Zecora lobbs another spell at the Alicorn, right in the face "now i have you cornered, tell me who are you?"
"i am know by many names, The fallen, the Alicorn Prince, Herald of darkness, the Lord of the three forbiddens, but none are so feared as Shadowmane the fallen" replies Shadowmane, Zecora takes a step back, "The Fallen you may be but i have stopped you" repies Zecora
"oh my dear you have no idea of what i am capable off" he blasts her against a tree, seeing that she go up he just laughs
"oh my dear Zebrea at least give me a good show" cackling he loomed over her like some vast predatory bird
"Reap the Whirlwind" bellowed Zecora and fung the last of her vials at him
"that should stop you" mumbled Zecora
"oh really?" replies Shadowmane, strolling through the smoke her potions made "for you Zecora the Zebra it is over, Finished, i'm going to show you why i am called the lord of the three forbiddens" he said as he casts a spell that binds Zecora to a tree "once i've dealt with you i shall begin my plan to regain my rightful place on this world"
all that was heard after that was a blood curdling scream....

Chapter 3 The lost Thousand years

Chapter 3

The lost Thousand years

6:00pm Everfree Forest
"No this cannot be, A thousand years? A THOUSAND YEARS!" Shadowmane could not beleive what he has read in the history book his new servant bought him, a thousand years since Discord was sealed, which was the last thing he remembered before the incident in the castle. 'So dear Princess Celestia has robbed me a thousand years of my life eh? so I shall rob her of her beloved kingdom' thought shadowmane "But first I need a place to stay to heal and plan" Shaodwmane made his way alone the path he saw Apple Bloom take, to a small hut, 'So this must be that nasty little Zebra's place huh?' Shadowmane looked inside the hut and found a small chest with gems and bits in it 'thankfully the currencie hasn't changed' rumaging somemore he found several healing balms 'these should help me heal up quite nicely' Shaodwmane changed into his theo disguise 'firsts things first i need a place to stay, while i could stay here somepony is bound to look for that nasty little zebra witch, so the town my servant comes from should surfice'

Following Day 8:30am Manehatten Sapphire Horse Appartments
Tempest stormwind, had just finish saying goodbye to his neighbours and given the keys back to the landlord, when the mailmare came running "Glad puff that huff i caught you"
"What's the matter?" asks Tempest
the Mailmare took a second before she ansewered "I was told to give you this by a strange colt"
"what was so strange about him?"
"he wore a cloak" she replies
"Seriously? that is what you found strange?" sniggers tempest
"no joke, i find it insulting if you don't look me in the face" retorted the Mailmare "But anyhow here is your package"
"Ermmm... thanks?" Tempest examined the package 'nothing seems off, and by the feel of it it's a book, cool maybe i'll read it later, ah heres a note'

"Dear Tempest Stormwind
we have not meet yet, but it is vital that i give this book to you, it will contain information that i vital, i urge you to not let Princess Celestia know you have this book or it shall be destroyed, as will you, just remember one thing before i go, gather your courage"

"well thats a weird letter, no signature no nothing, but i'd better keep hold off this parcel" Tempest places the parcel and letter into his bag, and with that he was off to the station.

7:30am Manehatten Train Station
Shining armor had been waiting at the station for sometime, he looked down the road, and smiled as he saw tempest walking up with his suitcase in tow
"hey Tempest let me handle your suitcase" offers Shining Armor
"No no, it's fine, i'm good" replies Tempest struggling to get his suitcase on the train
"now Tempest, let me help you" Shining takes the suitcase and escorts tempest to a first class seat "you are always so stubborn"
"takes one to know eh? Captain"
"okay Tempest i know i said we where heading for Ponyville, but Princess Celestia contacted me and wants me to escort Twilight Sparkle and her friends back to ponyville from the Crystal Empire, is that alright with you?"
"yeah thats fine, i'd would've had to meet them at some point anyway, so why not get to know them on the train ride to ponyville?"
"that was my thinking as well" smiled Shining Armor "want a drink?" Shining Offers Tempest a can of Soda
"thanks captain" Tempest said taking the can "so captain can you tell me abit about her friends? i've read bits in the paper but tabloids are often wrong, i mean your sister didn't put a love spell on her doll did she?"
Shining avoid Tempest's look as he answered "Well there is Applejack, she runs the local farm, she's very honest, Rarity is a fashion guru and a bit high strung, Pinkie Pie is mental, Rainbow Dash is a trainiee wonderbolt and Fluttershy loves animals and helped Discord" Shining looks at the clock in the carriage "it'll take some time to get to Canterlot, do you have something to pass the time Stormer?"
Tempest rumages in his bag he pulled out a travel Chess set

"Yeah I am fine" replies Tempest as the pony helped him up
"my name is Tempest Stormwind, who are you?"
"Me? well i'm called the Doctor" replies the stallion "my lovely wife is called Derpy whooves and my stepdaughter is called Dinky"
"Doctor who?" asks Tempest
"Just the Doctor silly" replies the mare Derpy?, Tempest took a look at her for the first time 'wow her eyes are weird, but she seems really nice'
"what are you a doctor off?" asks tempest again
"just the Doctor, sometimes Doctor whooves" replies the Doctor with a cheeky grin "by the Way Tempest was it?"
Tempest nods
"have you heard about Crystal communications?"
"is it that thing they found in the crystal Kingdom under the palace? the thing that can allegedly communicate accross all of equestria?, assuming my nutjob sister Tinker can fix it?"
"yeah thats the one" replies the Doctor
"why'd you ask?"
"No real reason young sir, but it seems fascinating, oh! don't you have a companion to look for?"
"Buck! so I do, sorry for tripping on you lil' Dinky" Tempest calls as he heads down the carriage.

"you would've loved it there Rarity, it was so good, the clothes, the food, the other you, i miss it so much" sighs Spike
"Calm down Spike darling, you've only come back through that mirror with Twilight a few hours ago" replies Rarity "And besides Princess Celestia told you not to talk about it, and anyway why have the other me? when you can have the genuine article?"
"erm... Rarity? can we stop for a break?" asks Spike quickly changing the subject "We've been shopping for hours and i could use a break"
"i suppose we can stop for a small break" Sighs Rarity, "all this shopping has made me exausted"
'well i'm knackered and carrying everything' thought Spike 'but then i'll do anything for Rarity, like that time i was superbrave when she was Nightmare Rarity and i personally saved the day'

Chapter 5
The Diva and the Mayor

Crystal Empire shopping district 12:20pm
"Spikey-wikey? SPIKE" Wailled Rarity at Spikes uunconcious body, she turned to the officer on duty "WHO DID THIS TO MY SPIKEY-WIKEY!!!" she demaned her horn glowing
"I don't quite know myself the pony was wearing a hood thats all I know" Replies the officer
"Sniff, Spike" Rarity turns to Spike, remembering his role in saving her from being Nightmare Rarity, (which actually was one off the few things she remembered from that horrible event) as Rarity started to sob harder, she heard a familiar and strong voice
"Rarity what has happened here?" Rarity opens her eyes and sees Captain Shining Armor standing next to spike with a green pegasus in tow
"Someone attacked my precious Spikey-wikey" the green pegasus shivers Rarity looks at him menacingly "it wasn't you was it?"
"no no, it wasn't" replies the pegasus "but let me introduce myself I am.."
"Tempest Stormwind" says Spike, who then promply faints
"Er.. how did he know my name?" Tempest asks Shining, who like Rarity looked completly confused.

Ponyville sugarcube corner 12:30pm
Shadowmane (As theo) had just finished enjoying his meal 'note to self, keep this Mrs cupcake alive eliminate the rest of her family and ban muffins, I hate muffins' he turned and looked at the gathered ponies in the cafe, he noticed the blue one with an hourglass mark, recognizing her from the mornings copy of Ponyville Daily as one off mayor mares assitants he decided to ears drop on her
"...Yes Lyra its true the Mayor has notes on the element bearers" says the blue Unicron excitedly
"Sure Minuette, next you'll tell me she has a book on hands" replies Lyra with sarcasm "But seriously why? don't she trust the girls?"
"this is apparently on the order off Princess Celestia, but you didn't hear it from me its a secret" Minuette adds with a wink
"if its a secret why the buck tell me?" replies Lyra
'interesting, that might help me understand abit more on whats happen in the time i was gone, especially on more recent events' Shadowmane thought excitedly 'but first I need to recruit my newest servant' Shadowmane notices the blue unicorn leaving, taking his chance he follows her down the street and behind some houses "Excuse me my lovely mare, do you work for the mayor?"
"Why yes I do I'm Minuette" replies Minuette blushing
"Thank you Minuette" replies Shadowmane casting his posession spell he places Minuette under his thrall "Now tell me my lovely wear does she keep her notes on the Element bearers...."

Mayor Mare's Office 1:30pm
Shadowmane approaches the mayors house "Servant Applebloom you know what to do?"
"Sure Mah Master, while you talk with Miss Mare about obtaining a house, ah sneak in and grab her note on the element bearers, but why not use Minuette to gather the notes?"
Shadowmane sighs 'note to self turn off her curious nature' "As I told you she is having a day of work and I might need her again when I need someone in her position, and I cannot put the Mayor under my thrall, as putting Minuette under took alot more then expect out off me, and i'd rather not put off gathering information on Celestia's pawns, so when you obtain what we seek i'll meet you at the clock tower in about an hour"

5 Minutes Later
"Yes come in" Calls the mayor
"Good evening my lovely Miss Mayor Mare, I am Theo F Allen i have come to make you an offer you can't refuse" he adds with a wink
"what offer? i am a hard mare to brib" the mayor replies, she scans Shadowmane up and down "but i am a reasonable mare, tell me what you want" she added with a wink
"I would like the house on the edge off town, my lovely mayor, And as I said I can make it worth your while"
'come on greed kick in' he thought
"well that house was reserved by Captain Shining Armor" Replies the Mayor smiling
'c'mon greed' thought Shadowmane Smiling
"But as you are making me such a tempting offer" The Mayor licks her lips "come to my place tonight and we can discuss this in more... Private"
'by Starswhirls Manky beard! she's not think what I think she's thinking is she?'
"By private you mean..."
"be at my place tonight at 8 and you'll find out" the Mayor blows Shaodwmane a kiss and shows him out
'crud she is thinking what I bucking think she's think' Shaodwmane Sighs 'and here I thought we where both talking about money...... oh well i guess i'll have to teach her a short sharp lesson...'

Canterlot Train Station 1:45pm
Brucemane, had just been on an important trip for Princess Luna to escort somepony special to the Crystal palace for her "We are here sir, my lady is excited to see you" his gruff voice hiding his pride at helping his princess "I must apologise, she did say Canterlot, but no, Sunbutt had to have her with her at the Crystal Empire" he looks at the foot off the palace and notices his superior in amongst a small group "Oi! Shining Armor, what yer doing?"
Shining Armor notices brucemane and his charge and walks up to them with a Unicron beside him "Afternoon Bruce, i'm here to escort my sister home on the next possible train, yourself?"
"Also escort duty I'm here to escort this young master to see Princess Luna"
"It's a pleasure ta meet yer" Replies the stallion, he notices the white unicorn standing behind Shining "Rarity you're here too?"
"Big Macintosh?? What are you doing here?"

Chapter 6

A Royal Meeeting

Crystal Empire, Crystal Palace 13:15pm
Tempest looked abit worried at spike sitting on the bench next to him, "so er..." Tempest began awkwardly, wishing Shining would come back with Rarity from talking with Bruce Mane and his earthpony friend "you ermm live in ponyville?"
'Gah stupid question'
"Yes tempest i do, I'm Twilight Sparkles Number 1 Assistant" replies Spike Obviously full off pride "i do most off the work in her house, and organizing her work for her, make sure she eats, its a pretty big job"
"that sounds amazing" Replies Tempest marveling at all the little dragon does "I'm moving to ponyville too, to work in the new museum at the edge off town, by the way little guy, how did you know my name?"
"i dunno" shrugs Spike "i just did, maybe the cloaked pony knows you?"
"that's the second time I've heard off a cloaked pony" Spike looks confused "somepony gave me a book this morning through my mailpony and..."
"Oi! you two come over" beckons Shining Armor.

"Tempest this is Big Macintosh he's..." Shining Couldn't finish his sentence for just at that moment...
"HE'S HERE!!!" bellows a powerful voice, Shining and Bruce both look up and both smiled, Princess Luna had just came down from the castle, taking a running leap she tackled Big Mac to the floor "how are you Sir Macintosh?" she asks embracing him in a hug
"Big Mac is just fine your highness" Big Mac replied while stroking her mane as she was kissing his cheek
"Erm, could you maybe, sorta" Luna started to blush as she and Mac untangled themselves
"sorta maybe erm..." she gives Big Mac an envelope, Big Mac reads it
"so you want to invite me to the Crystal Empire Gala in 3 months?" Asks Big Mac
Luna hid her face under her wings, with one eye peaking
"yep ah will go with you, my special somepony" he replies
Luna's kissed him "thank you thank you thank you" tears started to run down her face
"milady you alright?" inquires Bruce in his typical gruff manner
"yes Bruce I'm fine" Luna headed back to the palace smiling
"wow, that was surprising" Said Rarity "i didn't even know you two where dating Big Mac"
"since last fair" cuts in Bruce Mane "i for one am grateful, Mr Macintosh for you are the first pony to truly make her smile, who is not afraid off her...er" he paused for a moment "...other-self"
Big Mac smiles
"Ah only see the good pony inside her, Nightmare Moon is in the past and cannot be changed, so why dwell on it?"
"Wise words indeed, well I'm off, good too see you young captain, shame we never got to work together" he adds to Tempest

"captain?" Inquires Rarity
"well i use to be a captain in the royal army, it looks like i still have some authority" Tempest shakes his head "Shame i can't fight anymore"
"Why is that darling?" inquires Rarity, but before tempest could answer, an orange earth pony in a hat alongside a yellow pegasus whom Tempest recognized joined the group
"Rarity? what in tar-nation happened here? me and Fluttershy here saw Princess Luna fly over head crying" she notices Big Macintosh "oh hello big mac" she looks again
"BIG MAC? what in tar-nation are you doing here?"
"Applejack calm down, let me explain.." begins big mac

Rarity beckons, tempest and Fluttershy away "lets us let those two sort it out" Rarity said "Oh Fluttershy, how was it in the Crystal garden?"
"erm it was very nice, she has some crystal-Bunnies which where so cute" she smiled, she then takes notice off Tempest and hides behind Rarity "Erm.. hello Mr er.."
"Tempest Stormwind" ansewers Tempest, who started to rumage in his bag, pulling out a periodical magazine with Fluttershy on the cover
"Could you erm.. sign this please? you where very pretty in the photos"
"Ermmm how did you erm?" Fluttershy was getting more embarrased by the second
"get a copy? somepony left it on my bedside cabinet while i was in hospital, you where very pretty in these photos, shame you quit" smiled Tempest
Fluttershy got redder and redder, she turned to Rarity
"Erm what do i do?"
Rarity laughed
"Darling you sign it off course, please excuse Fluttershy, Tempest, unless your one of her animals she is quite shy"
"so you like animals?" fluttershy nods as she signed the periodical
"i wonder if you can help me? I'm looking for some company when i move to ponyville and wonder if you can help me find a pet? you are Fluttershy the animal keeper who tamed discord?"
"i would NEVER SAY I TAMED A FRIEND" bellows Fluttershy
Tempest stands his ground "i didn't mean to offend you, but that is what the papers say"
"Its True darling, the papers say you tamed discord" interjects Rarity
"oh erm.. sorry Mr Stormwind" apologized fluttershy "please don't be mad at me"
"I'm not mad Fluttershy, just sad the news got the facts wrong, which made me look like a fool" Tempest sighs "so can you help me find a pet?"
"sure, we can meet up when you are next available" reply's Futtershy "Erm if that's okay" she mutters as she passed the magazine back.

Crystal Palace 2:00pm
After enjoying a chat with Rarity and Fluttershy her heard
"Element bearers gather round"
Tempest looked up and saw the monarch off Equestria Princess Celestia 'you' he thought 'i haven't forgotten what you said in the hospital "oh sorry the procedure to fix your wings won't work" even after Cadance said it would' Tempest composed himself, he sees the element bearers go up to Celestia to talk to the Alicorn standing next to her, Princess Twilight Sparkle.
"Tempest you okay?" ask Shining "you seem abit... upset"
"you know very well why" retorts Tempest "hold on" Tempest counts the element bearers "are two missing?"
"good eye Stormer, Pinkie Pie according to Rarity has gone back to Ponyville according to her to advance the plot" Tempest and shining look confused "yeah i didn't get it either and Rainbow Dash has gone to the wonderbolts academy for some flying tests" Replies Spike, Tempest looks at spike still surprised "you called me 'Stormer' only Shining. my big Sis and Cadance ever called me that"
Spike Shrugs "Cloaked pony i guess, Oh Twilight's coming over"

Twilight Sparkle saw her big brother, excited to see him again she spread her wings as she flew down to her brother she suddenly lost control "oh no fly fly you stupid wings" she landed on-top of the colt standing next to Shining...
