Chapter 12: Aftermath of the Battle of the Bands

Tempest felt the force pushing her down disappear, she gritted her teeth pain coursing through her body as she forced herself to her feet. Her body was glowing with magic, the cybernetics in her brain was ending our warning signals “Parameters for energy absorption exceeded, body undergoing fatal collapse, searching for possible solutions.”

Tempest growled slightly as she saw the Dazzlings running past her causing the trio to speed up as they saw the glowing woman glaring at them. Her cybernetics beeped “Potential solution found.”

Tempest gritted her teeth “Then implement it already, I’m dying here!” Her cybernetics beeped “Implementing modifications.” Her teeth began to shake as her ears began to vanish, she screamed in agony as a pair of of bones pushed out of her back, the bones then separated as they grew before a mix of flesh and machinery moved over them melding together forming a perfect hybridisation of flesh and tech.

Then she felt as her skull began to shift as flesh began to move around the top of her skull. Eventually the pain eased, she could feel power coursing through her body, she felt as if she could shatter worlds with a single finger. She walked to the stage with a frown until she bumped into Twilight and Sunset who had walked back stage, Tempest smiled as shouted “Twilight, Sunny!”

Twilight and Sunset turned around, they gasped as they noticed the moderate rose pony ears on her head. She blinked “What, did something happen?”

Twilight took a deep breath before frowning “You have pony ears.”

Tempest put her hands to the side of her head, only to feel nothing there her pony ears then twitched a she touched them. She jumped backwards in shock, a pair of massive moderate rose wings flared out, Sunset blinked in shock “You have wings!”

Twilight took a deep breath as she approached Tempest “How did this happen?”

Tempest taking a deep breath before frowning “After I got hit by your beam, my cybernetics absorbed the energy because it thought it was being attacked, my body could store it effectively and it begun tearing through my body so my body searched for a potential solution and … oh”

Sunset joined her “Mum this could be bad you know, how do think everyone else will react.”

Tempest shrugged “I doubt it would cause much of a stir, magical incidents seem to be forgotten around here.” She then frowned “Speaking of which why are you two out here?”

Twilight frowned as she turned to Sunset “When we singing up there my I felt dark magic in you, I thought we got rid of that so why is it still there?”

Sunset sighed “Dark magic never truly goes away, once you use it is a part of you.”

Tempest shrugged “We have got it handled, she had a slight explosion at the Dazzlings but it was fine, she has gained fantastic control of her darker side.”

Twilight frowned “You knew, why didn’t you say anything?!”

Tempest rolled her eyes “It wasn’t an issue when we fighting the Dazzlings, anyway let’s go and join the Rainbooms shall we.”

Twilight nodded as they turned to head towards the stage“That’s true, I’ll keep this secret for now.”

They walked onto the stage, Rainbow raised an eyebrow “What’s with the ears Coach Tempest?”

Tempest chuckled “Wait until you see this.” She flared out her wings.

Rainbow grinned “Awesome.”

Tempest smiled “Yep.”

Spike walked up to the group “Twilight are we going to return home soon, I am craving for some gems.”

Temporises raised an eyebrow “Why didn’t you get me, I could have shattered that door in an instant.”

Spike rubbed the back of his head “Well getting through the crowd of zombies was hard and this body is not very good at shouting so I had to find someone quickly who was not under mind control so I ended up bumping into Vinyl.”

Applejack frowned “How did you get wings?”

Tempest frowned as well “My cybernetics kinda of tried to absorb the magic and thus I almost died, speaking of which why did nobody check on me.”

Sunset sighed “I tried but we kinda got swarmed by the crowd and we kind of forgot after we managed to get out of the crowd.”

Twilight sighed “I didn’t think our magic could kill anyone, we have to be more careful.”

Tempest nodded “Well I better go home, I need some rest.”

Sunset smiled “Mum I’ll be home in a couple of hours don’t worry.”

Tempest smiled back “I’ll see you then.” Tempest drove back home, she walked into the living room and walked over to a bookshelf. She pulled a book back and the bookshelf moved aside revealing a long white staircase with light keeping the area lit all the way down, Tempest walked down the stairs into a massive room white empty room with a console. Tempest pressed a button that read (force assessment object.)

A huge round orb appeared, Tempest took a deep breath “Time to see how strong I am now that I have magic within in me.”

She slammed her fist into the object at full force before having to restrain herself a, the orb bent inward almost popping as the machine beeped “Galaxy level destructive force detected.”

Tempest’s eyes widened in horror, Sunset arrived home a few hours later. She walked in to see her mother laying on her bed. Tempest awoke to see Sunset standing in front of her, she smiled as she gave Sunset a hug, as soon as she touched she heard a crack and gasped as she let go Sunset collapsing to the ground her body not moving, Tempest cried “No no no.”

She turned around to see Snowy walking in with a smile “Hey honey.”

Snowy walked over Tempest gasped “Stay away, I’ll hurt you I’m too strong.” Snowy tried to approach only for Tempest to close her eyes as she slammed her hands onto the table, she opened her eyes to see darkness and large piles of rubble floating around her, she screamed “No!”

She then jolted upwards felt something shaking her, she looed over to see Sunset’s concerned face , tear began to from in her eyes. Sunset asked as she wrapped her arms around her mother “What’s wrong?”

Tempest cried “I am too strong, the machine down there measures my strength, it told me I could shatter the galaxy with these hands. I dreamt I killed you when I hugged you, I then obliterated the planet in anger.”

Sunset shook her head “I trust you won’t do that mum, you are an expect in controlling your own strength.” The two stayed like that for the rest of the day as Tempest needed the comfort.

The next day Tempest arrived at the school with Sunset, Sunset smiled warmly “It will be fine, mum trust me.” Tempest nodded as she uneasily got out of the car, she walked into the school she kept a stoic expression but on the inside she was shaking worried she would break something or hurt someone, she noticed a few students gazing her wings and ears for a few moments before shrugging and turning away just glad that students just accepted her new appendages without any questions. She took a seat at her desk hoping for an easy day.
