“Crusaders? Are you in there?” asked Twilight. She opened the door to see the three fillies’ smiling faces.

“Hi Twilight, Tempest!” they chirped on unison.

“We need help finding Tempest’s special talent” explained Twilight.

“Sounds good. So Tempest, what are you good at?”asked Scootaloo.

“Uh, I’m not really sure” said Tempest, a wave of disappointment washing over her.

“No problem, that’s what we’re here for” reassured Sweetie Belle.

They tried everything, from mountain climbing to lamp making, but nothing seemed to fit.

“Let’s try the second chart!” said Appleblom, nervously, “Let’s go to sailing” After two hours of near death sailing, they decided it was time to go home.

“Maybe I’m not cut out for this” said Tempest sadly.

“I have one more idea which may fit you” said Twilight. When they arrived at the hall, 4 chairs were laid on both ends of room.

“Why are we here?” Tempest was confused.

“We’re going to do debating!” said Twilight, handing her sheets of paper and and group of ponies to work with. “And the team is gender equalism, fighting for female rights and laws”

And just like that, Tempest spent the next hour preparing for the big debate. Even a small crowd had gathered.

“Good afteroon. I am Tempest Shadow, Team Leader of the affirmative team on the topic, females should be considered in all fields, from sport to music” said Tempest confidently.

“Good afternoon, I am Sun Star, Team Leader of the negative team on the topic, females should be considered in all fields” said the opposition.

The debate continued without a hitch. The first speaker on Tempest’s team spoke about the past, how people used to consider females weak and insignificant, but now, some influential females have made our world safe, claiming this wrong.

Second speaker said all are equal, and there is not difference. Mares and stallions are both ponies. It’s like how tribes used to fight over which one was the best.

And the third speaker said both working together can help our world become more great than before.

In the final rebuttals, Tempest fired one witty point to another as the others tried desperately to make Tempest’s amazing arguments sound wrong. In the end, victory was won by Tempest, as she felt her flank light up. It was a cutie mark! Two wight wings, with a globe in the middle!

"OMG! I got my cutie mark!" said Tempest, staring at her flank.

"I think it means you can fight for world freedom, wings being freedom and the globe being the world!" said Twilight.

"I guess we can go on to try and find out who that scroll was from now" said Tempest heading out the door of town hall.

"Tem-pest, Twi-light!" wheezed Spike, burping out another scroll.

"What is it this time?" asked Tempest.

Dear T.S

It is time. He will rise soon, you must come to the Star Swirl the Bearded archives. I will meet you there. Bring your sister along

Your loyal friend

"Well, now we'll both be going" said Twilight.

In fifteen minutes, they were in Canterlot. "How do think that person found out we were sisters?" asked Tempest.

"Perhaps they...nope, I've got nothing" said Twilight, realising she didn't know what to do.

"Should we...go to the archives?" asked Tempest. Twilight hesitated.

"I'm just not sure, I mean, this seems to good to be true"

"What does?"

"You know, someone who wants to meet the new Royal sisters and then just help them-I know we Equestrian ponies act all friendship like, but some of us aren't like that, so this feels like a trap" said Twilight, "Maybe we should send someone on our behalf"

"But we wouldn't want somepony else to get hurt!" said Tempest, imagining the archives explode as Spike innocently got blasted.

"I've got it! One of us go in there, face whatever it is, and come back out" said Twilight, "I'll go"

"No you can't, you're a princess" Twilight rolled her eyes, "I need to prove my worth the Equestria anyway, please let me do this!"

Twilight sighed, knowing her sister was hell-bent on doing this. "Fine, I'll stand outside, and you go in, but if anything were to happen to you I-"

Tempest placed her hoof on Twilight's mouth, "I'll be fine. I was a commander for Celestia's sake!"

Twilight smiled, "Love you big sis"

"Love you too little sis" Twilight watched her sister walk into the archives, gate slamming behind her.

Tempest slowly trotted, lightly stepping, unaware of what awaited for her. She saw a huge towering figure, triple her size. She opened her mouth to call for help, but then the figure came out of the shadows. It was Grubber, holding a huge pile of books.

"Sorry, didn't mean to scare ya" said Grubber, munching on a slice of chocolate cake.

"Wait- you're the one who wrote the scrolls?" Tempest asked.

"What scrolls? I've been getting them myself, and they said there was a plot against...T.S? And told me to meet here" explained Grubber.

"Oh. So if you're not the one, then who is?" As if to answer her question, a voice came.

"Who are you?" asked the voice, low and menacing.

"Tempest Shadow" she replied boldly, "Along with Grubber"

"Tempest Shadow?" The voice grew more bubbly and girly. And white unicorn with a wavy blue mane came out of the shadows, "Hi, I'm Mystic Wave, nice to meet you!"

"Hey I know you- Twilight told me you went missing from Equestria years ago" said Tempest.

"Close. I went off researching about powerful magic users, and discovered a sixth alicorn princess" said Mystic.

"Sixth?" Tempest was aware of four.

"Um, Flurry Heart is the fifth? Where have you been?" asked Mystic Wave.

"Well, I used to live somewhere not in Equestria" said Tempest, not keen on telling her past, "So you've been sending the scrolls to my sister, Princess Twilight?"

"No, I was sending them to Princess Tranquil Stone" said Mystic, "Princess of Water and Peace"

Grubber and Tempest looked at her blankly.

"She was the third alicorn sister, aside from Luna and Celestia, and when she destroyed the Emerald of Destiny in order to vanquish the Razor Lord, she had to sacrifice herself, being stuck in Tartarus with him, and all traces of her had been removed" said Mystic, giggling, "Aside from the evidence I found"

Tempest continued to stare.

"We may need to fill you in on the past millennia" said Mystic.

Author's Note

The cutie mark was made by me, I did not steal any ideas. And Princess Tranquil is my own created character, so is Mystic Wave, any resemblance to other characters is purely coincidental. Please feel free to leave comments and likes and dislikes and criticism ect.
