//------------------------------// // Chapter 7 // Story: Princesses of Power // by BronyBoy98 //------------------------------// Adora and her friends stood in the throne room in silence while Twilight and the other ponies were panicking. Twilight wasn't say anything, she couldn't find the words to say. Twilight's friends, however were pacing the floor and talking over each other. Finally Adora spoke. "Who's The Storm King?" she asked. "The Storm King was an evil tyrant from a faraway land who wished to conqueror all." Luna said. "He nearly destroyed Canterlot and Ponyville, but he was defeated." Celestia said looking at Twilight. "He wasn't just defeated," Rarity said, "He was turned into stone and shattered into pieces." "I take it there's no coming back from that?" Scorpia asked looking at Rarity. "Well apparently not, considering he's returned." Rarity said. Twilight looked up and spoke. "He shouldn't be able to make the storms without Alicorn power." "Indeed," Luna said, "The staff itself has been here in Canterlot, and it hasn't moved once." "Well then how can he make all of that crazy weather?" said Rainbow Dash. "Was he buried anywhere after he....shattered?" Glimmer asked. "We put every stone piece of him in a chest and placed it underground." Celestia said. "Did you say chest??" Both Adora and Twilight said surprised and then looked at each other. "Whoah, what's going on?" Catra asked. "Before we got here, aboard Darla." Adora said, "I remember having a dream about being in a cave, and I saw the chest." "Was there anything on the chest, like a jewel?" Twilight asked. Adora paused and thought really hard, trying to remember what she had seen. Images formed in her mind, she could see the long stone chest. On the far end of the chest was a blue diamond inserted into the chest. "A blue diamond." she said. "That's the same chest from my dream!" Twilight said shocked. "Wait a minute," Catra said looking at Celestia and Luna, "You said our ship may have caused this, what did you mean?" The image of The Storm King changed to show Darla. The scene then changed to a grassy field before Darla was shown smashing into the ground. The ship began to spark and glow as pink and blue energy ran down the ship and into the ground. The scene shifted to show the underground cave that The Storm King's chest sat. the same colored energy dripped from the ceiling and landed on the chest, making it glow. The image began to fade as the blue flames dissipated, leaving every pony shocked. "Your ship brought The Storm King back!" Rainbow Dash said before charging at The Best Friend Squad; but was held back by Applejack who had bit Rainbow Dash's tail. "We didn't mean to bring him back, we didn't even know someone was buried underneath Darla." Glimmer said. "It may have not been intentional at all." Celestia said, "We don't know anything about your world and what magic it contains." "The travel to different worlds, even entirely new dimensions can very well release immense quantities of power." Luna said. "So magic from our world brought a foe from this world to life and even gave him storm magic." Glimmer said. "Ok, so how do we stop him?" Adora asked. Celestia and Luna both looked at each other and then back at the group. "We're not sure." Celestia said with Luna shaking her head. "He may still be underground, but his reach is mighty." Luna said. "Well then it's up to us to stop him." Adora said. Twilight smiled, "Adora's right, we've faced The Storm King before, we can do it again." she said. "And we've faced plenty of threats, like me." Catra said with a toothy smile, "Wait what?" Twilight said confused. "We'll explain later." Glimmer said. The group of ponies leave except Swift Wind who turns to look at Luna. "Soo, if we save the world and stuff, do you wanna maybe-" "Swift Wind!" Adora yelled. "Gotta go." Swift Wind said dashing for the door.
