All those on deck looked on with fear at the oncoming threat. It was coming on to quickly to go around, and would be too dangerous to go through. The Lord Woolmer itself was in terrible shape already. And, wards or not, heavy damage would be done.

"What now, sir?" Bryant asked Houghton.

"I don' think there's anythin' w'CAN do." was the reply.

"Well, you don't have to!" the cyan Pegasus said, stepping up. "Back in Equestria, we manage the weather itself!" she added.

"That's right!" Twilight exclaimed, flaring her own wings. "We can handle this... but with a storm this bad, we'd need more than just three Pegasi. A lot more." She sighed. "I didn't want to have to do this. I only made this spell as a theoretical one. If it works it will exude an enormous amount of energy, but... I guess we have no choice. At least we got a chance to rest."

"Given the alternative," Bryant said, "I'd rather the option that keeps us alive. Whatever happens to us is irrelevant. The new Leftenant Governor is aboard that ship." he pointed to the nearby Lord Woolmer.

"And you have more than three Pegasi, don't forget." Kydd said, also stepping up.

"Leftenant Kydd?" Houghton said, "Yer accent..."

"I noticed." Kydd affirmed. "Chalk that up as another bit of irony. That I'm closer to speaking clearly as a... semi-mythical creature than I ever was as a human." he said in a self-deprecating way.

A second after, a blue hoof touched his withers.

"Remember. You aren't alone." a gentle voice said.

Everyone turned around to see Tysoe, quite changed. He -or she, rather- had a blue coat and generally was the spit and image of Rainbow Dash, but with more red and white in her hair and with cerulean eyes. Also, no mark on her flank.

"It's almost like looking in a mirror..." Rainbow said in wonder. "How did you change so quickly?"

Tysoe nodded. "I think it was because I accepted what i would become before I started changing. I just... let it happen. Either way, Ensign Twister Dash reporting for duty." she said, snapping a salute.

"Picked a new name, I see?" Houghton said, raising an eyebrow.

"Well, those were the first words out of my mouth when I awoke, so... I'd say that the name chose ME." she replied. "To be honest... I kind of like it."

Shattering the moment, Rainbow Dash exclaimed, "YYYYYES!!! Now we have a chance! With the lot of us together, we should be able to bring this storm under control. Hit it, Twilight!"

Twilight nodded. "Captain, Commander. It won't matter how much you back up this time. Fair warning. Alright. Here goes! Elements of Harmony: Entering Challenge Phase 2!" she called out. "In Control!" Twilight again started to glow, but with a more vibrant shade.

"And Readyto Roll!" Rainbow Dash and Applejack shouted out, beginning to rise into the air.

"BladesBared!" Rarity and Starlight added

"Nothin'Spared!" Pinkie and Fluttershy finished.

Twister and Storm felt themselves rise right along with the rest.

"Challenge Phase 2: ENGAGE!"

With that, there was a bright flash and a burst of energy. Seconds later, all nine ponies touched down, changed once more. Now they were all wearing armour of varying styles that nearly seemed to be fused to them. Each one had both wings and a horn, though some of those just seemed to be made of pure magical energy.

"Great horny toads! Ah've never felt so energized!" Applejack commented.

"With this much energy, I feel... divine. In more ways than one!" Rarity agreed.

Aw yeah! This storm doesn't stand a chance, now! Rainbow Dash boasted.

"Alright, everypony. Let's bring this storm under control." Twilight said, a look of determination on her face.

At once, they all leapt toward the worseningly wild waterspout. Almost moving as one, they circled the storm, going in the opposite direction.

The seabound tornado began to bend and twist, changing colours as it became suffused with energy, and then taken over entirely. Soon enough, the waterspout ended and the nine lights rose further into the air, eventually reaching into the clouds. With a resounding BOOM, the clouds cleared for miles around and a circular rainbow of colour spread across the sky.

The ponies touched down again on the Tenacious and released the power they had held, falling asleep shortly thereafter.

There was soon cheering and laughter from both ships as the crew rejoiced.

"Good show, th' lot o' you." Houghton said, clapping his front hooves together. "Good show indeed."
