The Storm King has a vision of his own death.

When The Storm King begins the ritual of the staff of Sacanas, his vision momentarily fades into a premonition. He sees his own death, how he is taken for granite, and how he is smashed into bits of rubble and dirt. Now horrified, he tries to find a way to change his fate, but the thing about fighting fate is.........

You can't cheat death

"Deliver the punchline Tempest because THIS HAS GOT TO BE A JOKE!"

The Storm King plunged his staff into a hole in the floor, causing it to light up and begin the ritual as he stared in confusion.

However, when the Alicorn's magic was absorbed into the staff, Storm King was suddenly hit with an overdose of Alicorn power, causing his vision to slowly fade....

When his vision returned, he saw himself climbing the wall of Canterlot castle, where he saw the ponies with HIS STAFF.

He saw himself pull out an obsidian orb as he grinned evilly, but when he threw it, Tempest got in the way and took the blow, sending him backwards as he slowly turned into obsidian.

He was horrified when he saw himself be smashed into a thousand pieces, never to rise again.....

Then, his vision faded again....

When The Storm King opened his eyes, he fell to the floor as he grunted in pain.

"Your excellency, are you alright?" Tempest asked her boss.

"I died....." Storm King weakly replied.

"What?....."

"I saw myself..... Being turned into obsidian, being broken...... You caused it....."

"...... I can assure you sir, I would never cause anything that could lead to your destruction, I am here to serve you even after you restore my horn."

"But I SAW IT! I had some crazy hallucination dream thing where I DIED! It was so lucid and vivid I SWEAR it was a vision!"

"Maybe you saw that vision for a reason?....." The imprisoned pony princess suggested.

"What?"

"Maybe it's a sign that if you don't stop the path you are on, it will lead to your inevitable downfall....."

"Bah! That's absurd! I just need to make sure that doesn't happen to me. I know that you cute ponies somehow got a hold of my staff, so I just need to make sure that this baby doesn't fall out of my grasp."

"But it doesn't matter if you try or not! If it's a vision, it's SET IN STONE. The best you can do is choose a different path then the one you are on."

"DON'T, tell me what I can do to change my future! I AM THE STORM KING! I make my own rules!"

"If I may intervene sir, perhaps it would be wiser to listen to the princess." Tempest suggested.

"You too Tempest?! Why should I listen to some pretty pony princess when I can DO THIS?!"

The Storm King blasted Twilight with the staff, blasting a hole in the wall of the castle.

As The Storm King walked through the hole, he realized it was the same balcony where he saw his death.....

"The balcony....."

"Do you still, want to do things your way sir?"

"Yes! I simply need to avoid this balcony, and keep an eye on YOU."

"I already told you I would never-"

"YOU COULD BE LYING! I can't trust you for certain...."

......................

"Just like I can't trust you for certain?....."

Storm King backhanded Tempest.

"Leave her alone!" Twilight called out.

"What? Do you really believe that she would be FRIENDS with you?! HAH! You just don't seem to get it do you? YOU DON'T HAVE ANY FRIENDS. No one is coming to save-"

Storm King suddenly heard scorching from below the balcony, he looked down and saw the ponies defeating his army.

"No! No no no no no!"

"I told you! You can't, fight, fate!"

"YES, I, CAN!"

The Storm King blasted his staff into the sky, creating a thunderstorm of epic proportions.

As Twilight and Tempest looked on, Storm King looked at Tempest with a scowl, before blasting her with his staff.

"WHY?!"

"THAT was for pushing me off the balcony!"

"I didn't do that! And I never will!"

"You just don't seem to get it do you?! I USED YOU ANYWAY, it's kind of what I do...."

He then continued blasting Tempest as she screamed in agony.

"STOP!!!" Twilight cried desperately.

"YOU'RE NEXT PRINCESS!"

However, Storm King was suddenly struck by the cute ponies that occupied his vision, as he fell into a bunch of debris.

"Ugh.... I'm getting REAL sick of this cute pony thing!"

He then realized his staff was missing.

"What? No! Where is it? Where is it?!"

He moved the rubble and saw it stuck to the glass, and saw that the ponies were about to grab it.

"NO! I MUST PREVENT MY DEATH!"

Twilight gasped and saw Storm King climbing up the rubble to grab the staff, as she tried desperately to reach it as her friends tried to push her to the top.

"NO!!! THAT'S MY STAFF!!!"

As The Storm King desperately tried to reach it before the ponies did, Twilight grunted in desperation trying to reach it before he did, they were both INCHES away from it, anyone could grab it now.

"UGH!!! MINE!!!"

"NO!!!"

Twilight grabbed the staff, but the glass broke, and she and The Storm King were pulled into the storm that plagued Canterlot.

"NO! NO NO NO!!! I CAN'T DIE NOW! NOT LIKE THIS!!!"

Storm King felt dizzy and afraid, he felt himself falling through the air extremely quickly, until he landed onto the wall of Canterlot castle, as he desperately tried to hold on.

"Ugh! Those cute ponies.... are gonna pay! I'll get them.... I'll get them...."

He climbed all the way to the top where he saw them, he pulled out an obsidian orb, and threw it at them.

"NO!!!"

It was then that he realized, that he had just sealed his own doom.

If he had just listened to the ponies and chose a better path, then he could have avoided this....

But his own arrogance and pride caused his own fate to self fulfill itself.......

He truly could not cheat death.....

As The Storm King slowly froze into obsidian, he lamented the circumstances that got him into this situation....

He wasn't a religious person, but he knew that if there was an afterlife, then he certainly wasn't going to the pearly gates when he hit the ground..... Not after what he did back there.....

As he slowly fell, he thought to whatever divine power gave him the vision of this event.....

'Well played fate, well played.....'

SMASH!
