“Times have changed… and we've often rewound the clock, since the Tribalists got a shock... when they founded Canterhorn Rock. If today... any shock they should try to stem, 'stead of landing on Canterhorn Rock, Canterhorn Rock would land on them! In olden days, a glimpse of preening was looked on as something demeaning, but now, Celestia knows... anything goes!”
Flurry’s hooves clopped against the floor at a furious, sweaty pace, revealing that she was quite a dancer. Wings out, she used them for balance, and this allowed her to make moves that might cause a regular pony to snap a fetlock. She floated on her hooves and seemed to defy gravity. In truth, the only reason why Flurry had agreed to learn dancing was to become a better fighter and she could already see the benefits of her many hours sacrificed.
She threw herself into the moment and allowed her emotions to bleed out into her dancing. Now, her hooves thundered against the crystalline floor and the tinny, jaunty tune coming from the hi-fi phonograph was almost drowned out by the elephantine force of her dancing. Dust rose from the floor as fractures began to manifest and with each hooffall, cracks spiderwebbed out from each point of impact.
Because it felt so good, Flurry let go and began to dance. The record began to skip, but she didn’t care, she was dancing. The whole room shuddered and she danced atop reverberating thunderclaps that prevented her from hearing her instructor’s frightened cries. Lightning flew from her hooves as they struck crystal, and the crystal, being only crystal, was never made to endure such abuse.
It shattered, the floor became a million tiny glittering fragments, yet another victim of Flurry’s rampage of destruction. Too startled to fly, she went straight down, fragments and all, and then landed in the room below, which just happened to be a magical laboratory that was mid-experiment. The sudden addition of a falling alicorn and crushed crystal was not good for the experiment, which began to fizzle out of control, and when Flurry’s hooves struck the floor, it too also shattered from the impact, and she found herself going down to the next floor, which just so happened to be the alchemy apothecary.
The falling alicorn, the startled magical researchers, plus a storage full of volatile reagents, these were things that should not be mixed under any circumstances, yet mixed they were, and to disastrous results. Potion bottles shattered, flasks burst, vats ruptured, and chaos began to construct a terrible, dreadful, complicated equation.
“Oh shit, not again,” Flurry deadpanned, deciding that things couldn’t possibly get any worse and that right now was a perfect time to use adult language. Reaching out with her magic, she wrapped all of the fragile, freefalling ponies around her in a protective bubble of magic, and just in time too, as the world around her began to detonate into a terrific super-explody mess.
A princess is to remain poised... no matter what!
"Let's hear it for the Alicorn of deeeeeestruction!"
Flurry: "Alicorn of JUSTICE!"

Derpestation.
Derpy-corn? Terrifying.
And this is why crystal is not the best building material
Hmm who is the genius that places a dancing room [paved with CRYSTAL no less] for creature with HOOVES above anything else? The infernal racket going on would drive practically everyone insane in less than ten minutes ^^;;;;
This will go over well with her mother.. I assume normally the crystal is structurally sound since it was magic lab with chemicals involved.. wonder if that compromised the floor or ceilings in this case

I have recently been playing Fallout 4, so I instantly recognized Kudzu's play on words for this particular gem of a song. "Anything goes!"

According to Dim, she's the alicorn of Just Ice.
You should see her in the kitchen. Strong earth elementals have been known to faint at the mere sight of her cupcakes.
Ohh this was fun. Will it be appearing as cannon in your verse?
