It was a rather cloudy day, the winds were strong enough to tilt some trees, it was clear that a storm was coming. And heavy one! But that was not enough to keep Adagio at home, she had a rather unhealthy liking for hot cocoa, so when she saw there was none left she stormed of to the city to buy some. That way she could enjoy a nice reading session with Bottom Heart. Now that she was adopted by Celestia, which was a very wealthy mare; Adagio didn't need to work anymore, and she was beyond happy about that, after all it meant she could just be lazzy all day.
With a bag of cocoa in her mouth, Adagio was rushing back home trying to avoid the storm.
*BUMP*
"Glad to see you're still as energetic as ever Adagio!" Said the pony she ran into.
"Mr.Peach!" She hugged him "Is so good to see you!"
"Is good to see you too. Haven't seen you around in a few weeks, how are you doing on Celestia's home? is she treating you and Bottom Heart well?"
"We've been good, Celestia is awesome....when she is home of course." She lets out a slight smile. "When she is home Bottom Heart follows her around all day! he keeps trying to play with her massive tail *chuckles*"
"*chuckles* That's great to hear..." *LOUD THUNDER NOISE* " And i think that's your que to go back home." Mr.Peach said.
"You're right, gotta jet! Later Mr.Peach!"
"Be careful!" Said Mr.Peach waving good bye.
A few minutes later Adagio managed to avoid the storm and enter her house.
"Hearty! i got some cocoa!" She shouted. " Hearty? were are ya lil guy?"
Just as she was about to go looking for him, he waves at her from the kitchen.
"Hey lil guy what are you doing in the kiiiii..... MOM!?" She gave Celestia a big hug. " Weren't you supposed to be working today!?"
"Yes, but i talked with Weather Report today and she said this storm is going to last a few days, and since i don't want my students to go out in such a big storm i decided to give everyone a small vacation of sorts." She said with a smile. " That means i don't really have to go to school either, i can just do the rest of the paperwork from home."
"Awesome!! that means you'll finally have time to play some board game with us right!?" Adagio asked.
"Yes honey i will, but later okay? first lets eat dinner, your little brother here has quite the talent for cooking *chuckles*" Celestia pointed at Bottom Heart which was whisking some batter in a bowl.
Adagio helped them finish cooking dinner, they made some hot cocoa and enjoyed each other's company for a few hours.
"Okay kids is time to go to bed..." Celestia said.
Adagio was already asleep on the couch, while Bottom Heart was making some drawings on a piece of paper.
"Adagio honey get up, you can sleep on the couch."
"*Yawn* yeah...yeah.. night mom...." Adagio slowly went to her room.
"And you little one, come here let me brush that bush you call a mane! *chuckles*" She said while putting him in a chair, and started to brush his mane. " How can a pony this small have such big mane? *phew* all done"
"Now time to go to bed."
Celestia took Bottom Heart to his room, and tuck him in bed. As Celestia was about to leave, everything started shaking, it was an earthquake, and a big one!
"Kids! below my wings now!" Celestia shouted.
Both Adagio and Bottom Heart jumped from their beds, and hid below Celestia's wings. After a few seconds the shaking stopped.
"What was that all about!?" Asked a terrified Adagio.
Celestia didn't have time to answer, as she was about to talk a red light reflected through the window, falling towards the horizon.
"Mom look!" Said Adagio pointing towards the sky.
"The Apollo Highway!" Celestia was shocked. " I-Its destroyed!? b-but how!?" In a panic Celestia stormed out of the room and putted on a rain coat. "Kids, stay in your beds! i need to talk with Weather Report. I'll be back shortly."
"Okay mom be carefull...." Said Adagio with a concerned look.
"//) =|) ||)( =//"
"Oh that's right they didn't teach you about that in school yet. The Apollo highway is a big road made of stars, the sun and the moon travelled through the road in circles, that's how the day and night cycle worked." Adagio Explained. " Without it, the sun and the moon won't move anymore, so there's no longer going to have a day and night cycle!"
Bottom Heart looked at the sky, the place were the highway was; was completely shattered.....
After the earthquake the storm was even stronger, and the city was covered in a deep fog. Despite all of this Celestia still manage to go into the town hall, a hooffull of other ponies were already there.
"The storm is way to strong! it ripped apart a portion of my roof!" Said a mare.
"Yeah, and there's also the lake nearby , if the storm continue on like this it might cause a flood!" Said the mayor. " You have to stop this Weather!"
"*sigh* For the last time, my power is to PREDICT the weather, NOT control it!" Said a very annoyed Weather Report. " I can't do anything about the storm!"
"The storm might be the last of our problems!" Said Celestia. "Didn't any of you saw!? the Apollo highway has been shattered!"
"WHAT!?" screamed everyone in the room.
The Mayor poked his head outside the door.
"S-she is right! i can barely see it, but its definitely shattered!"
"Oh good heaven what do we do!?" said one of the panicking mares.
"Panic isn't going to help with anything! we need to keep ourselves calm and think of something!" Said the Mayor.
"That's why i came here, looking for you Weather..." Celestia said.
"No! i can't control the highway either!" She answered.
"I know, but listen. When the highway got shattered i saw a red star falling in the horizon, it didn't look like it was too far away, but then again i could be wrong because of the fog." Celestia said.
"And so you want me to go there investigate it?"
"Yes, there's nopony else in this city more suited to travel in a storm then you. I'm really not sure if that star is the answer but is the only thing i can think about right now." Celestia said. " Please go investigate it, you can name a price, i'm sure we can come to an agreement."
"*sigh* No need to pay me, i'll go. After all i live here too ya know? and is not like we can do anything else either..."
"Thank you, thank you so much! the star fell in the north direction." Celestia said.
"We wish you good luck in your journey, Weather." The Mayor said. " Now everypony else, we need to bring everyone to the town hall. This is the most durable building in the city, everyone will be safer here!"
"But can everypony fit in here? i know the place is big and all but..." said a colt.
"Maybe if we get rid of some of the furniture. Either way we still have to bring as much ponies here as we can!"
As much as Weather Report denied, everyone knew that her powers were more then simply predicting the weather. Multiple ponies claim to have seen her walking on rain drops, so she basically had the ability to walk on air when it rained. Her strength was also abnormal, she could lift giant boulders with little to no effort. She was quite the famous pony in town, not just for her predictions but because she was a rather peculiar pony. No one knew what she was up to, pretty much all day, she would only occasionally appear in the town hall to give her weather predictions.
After leaving the town hall, she went north, and as to be expected she was having no trouble moving through the storm. with a some stops along the way, after a few hours she found herself in a abandoned village. The place was completely torn apart, and there were explosion holes all over the place. Weather knew that this village wasn't simply abandoned, it was attacked! and it seemed rather recent too. As weather cautiously walked around she found the corpse of a dead mare, confirming that this attack was indeed recent. Just a few seconds away from the body, Weather saw a destroyed red orb on the ground. Just as she was about to investigate it, she is blown back by an explosion in front of her. Once she gets up, she saw a purple mare with dark mane and armor, her eyes were glowing in a blinding shade of yellow .
"Urgh... who the hell are you!?" Weather asked.
The mare simply chuckled, and more explosions happened right beside Weather. But this time she noticed something, these explosions weren't coming out of thin air, it were small rocks that came from the sky when the mare blinked. These rocks were coming at a shocking speed, Weather was barely able to dodge them. Weather then jumped on a wall and used it to propel herself towards the mysterious mare.
She manage to hit the mare right in the chest,that caused a huge shockwave in the area . But the mare stood still. It didn't even fase her. And then Weather was hit right in the neck with one of the rocks, it exploded and Weather was sent flying towards a building. Her body hit the wall as she let out a scream in pain.
"W-who are y-you?" Asked Weather while she was bleeding out on the ground.
"You can call me....Elliptical Orbit."
