In Ponyville Twilight was in a rage over what her parents along with Rarity had done.  The fact that they were taking two of Canterlot's most elite ponies with them made Twilight's thirst for their destruction all the more powerful.  She was going through the archives thinking to herself, "I am thinking that a spell for a strong hurricane will do the trick!  The waters out there are nice and warm so I won't have to feed it's power solely on my own!"

Twilight headed down for supper still not having found the right information for her hurricane spell.  She was greeted by her typical company and Colgate.

"Colgate," said Twilight "it is great to see you here tonight! How is everything going?"

Colgate replied, "It is going good, very good.  I have performed 5 pain free root canals since writing that spell.  You look a bit upset Twilight, is anything wrong?"

Twilight replied, "Yes, there is something very wrong.  My parents betrayed Shining Armor and myself.  They ran off with Rarity and a couple of Canterlot snobs, stole one of my ships and are headed to Alicorn Island."

Colgate asked, "What do you plan on doing?  Will you and your army go out after them?"

Twilight replied, "No.  I am getting close to writing a hurricane spell that should prevent them from getting to Faustica, well alive anyway."

LaurFa asked, "Would you would kill them with this storm if you had to?"

Twilight replied, "Yes, I would.  They have been treating both Shining Armor and I like dirt here recently.  Rarity is a backstabbing, disobedient little brat and Fancy Pants and Fleur de Lis are Canterlot snobs always flaunting their wealth."

General Iron Sheath asked, "You always have hated the elite up there, haven't you?"

Twilight replied, "Yes, I have.  Growing up my family was not exactly well off financially.  Yes once I got into Celestia's school and Shining Armor got into training for the Royal Guard, things were a lot better for them and they became part of the elite."

Shining Armor asked, "Didn't Fancy Pants and Fleur de Lis hold up for all of you when Rarity went up there to make your dress when the other elite were putting all of you down?"

Twilight replied, "Yes they did but the fact that they joined Rarity and my parents in leaving shows that they don't trust me.  They should have known that they are the elite pair that I would have mercy on.  Since they did this though, they are just as bad as the rest of the elite."

Colgate said, "Well here comes our supper!  I'm hungry!  I'm so grateful to you Twilight for providing us with meals!"

Twilight replied, "Thank you Colgate.  Enough of this talk since our meal is here!"

After supper Twilight headed back down to the archives bound and determined to find what she needed to write a spell for a hurricane.  She also knew that she would need to figure out a way to make sure that it works.  Finally around ten she had read through all the weather spell information and she realized that she might have something that works.

Twilight said to herself, "I think I have found what I am looking for!  Tomorrow I will test this spell.  The ponies down in Tampa Neigh are going to be in for a huge, windy, rainy surprise!"

The following morning Twilight headed down to breakfast with a smile on her face and was greeted by her usual company.

Dark Night said, "Twilight, you seem to be in a better mood this morning.  How did the studying for the hurricane spell go?"

Twilight replied, "I think I have it ready, I just need to test it now."

Thunder Rage asked, "Where will you be testing it?"

Twilight replied, "I am thinking about Tampa Neigh since it is surrounded by warm water and they get hurricanes on a regular basis.  I was thinking about Manehattan but they very rarely get them and when they do, they aren't that strong."

Shining Armor said, "Wow little sis.  You don't want to leave anything to chance, do you?"

Twilight replied, "No I don't.  I will test it today and if it works, I will cast it out their way tomorrow.  At that point, they will be at the mid-point of their journey to Faustica, which is right where I want them."

After breakfast Twilight headed outside and pointed her horn off in the direction of the gulf waters just off to the west of Tampa Neigh.  She began to glow a bright shade of purple, her eyes were shining a radioactive green and her horn began to glow black and purple as she recited,  "The nice weather must come to an end, for without a storm the enemy will not bend, the wind shall be strong and my enemies won't last for long, a hurricane is a must so the tyrants will sink and go bust."

A powerful bolt of energy wound up striking the atmosphere just off to the west of Tampa Neigh.  A huge storm of purple clouds formed with heavy rain and strong winds.  Twilight chose Tampa Neigh because she knew the upper level winds would blow the storm east.  Twilight watched from her balcony as the storm moved into Tampa Neigh, causing massive flooding and tons of property damage.

Twilight watched all this go on for the rest of the day and got an evil grin on her face.  She thought to herself, "Excellent!  It works perfectly!  Only I will need a much more powerful storm to make sure that my parents get the message that you do not stab me in the back."

Twilight was a bit late for supper but she arrived in the dining hall with a grin on her face and a bit of a remnant green shine in her eyes.

"Twilight, you're late." Said Shining Armor "That is a first for you.  What were you doing?"

Twilight replied, "Oh just watching my storm work it's magic.  Tampa Neigh is a disaster area now which makes me happy because I know my spell worked."

Dark Night asked, "Do you think they will be asking anypony for any charitable donations?"

Twilight replied, "Probably, but it isn't our job to take care of them.  Let the wealthy elite ponies across Equestria help them.  It isn't my job to go in there and fix everything like new."

LaurFa said, "Could you fire a bolt of energy from here to restore everything to the way it was before?  It would help your image among all you subjects immensely."

Twilight said, "Yeah I could.  I came across a spell to fix things when I was doing research to write the storm spell."

Thunder Rage asked, "When are you going to do this?"

Twilight replied, "After supper.  If I am going to do something like that, I need a full stomach.  They may be suffering, but satisfying my hunger comes first."

After supper Twilight headed outside and pointed her horn towards Tampa Neigh, she began to glow a gentle shade of purple, her horn began to glow purple as she recited, "The city was devastated by a storm, which is not the norm, their suffering is great yet we can not allow normalcy to be late, the city must be restored to the way it was before so they can pay taxes like they did before."

Twilight fired her energy towards the city and as soon as it arrived, the city was instantly transformed back to normal.  The storm was completely gone, the effects of the flooding and powerful winds were gone and everything quickly returned to normal.  Twilight saw this from afar and was pleased.  She knew she could scare ponies with storms but then return things to normal once she figured they had suffered enough.

Twilight headed to the throne room where she was greeted by LaurFa and Starswirl.  LaurFa asked, "How did the fixing spell work?"

Twilight replied, "It worked perfectly.  I am sure the citizens down there were scared but I am certain that when they saw my  energy beam hit the city and restore it to normal, they were most likely very thankful that I saw what happened and helped them."

Starswirl asked, "What color were the clouds associated with that hurricane that hit them?"

Twilight replied, "They were the same shade of purple as the darkest part of my mane and tail is.  Why do you ask?"

Starswirl said, "Well with them being that color they will probably think it was you that caused the storm.  They may not be all that forgiving with you scaring them like that."

Twilight said, "I will just tell them that the way the light was shining on the clouds it made them look like that.  I will make them think Rarity did it.  They don't need to know she doesn't have those kinds of abilities."

LaurFa asked, "Do they even know who Rarity is?"

Twilight replied, "Yeah, they do.  Before I rose to power the mayor of Tampa Neigh took part in a meeting in Canterlot and met us after the meeting.  He had a hard time telling her mane apart from my darkest purple.  All I have to do is tell him that it was Rarity's color of purple and he will tell his city that she did it and they will believe him."

Starswirl said, "How do you know that Twilight?"

Twilight replied, "That pony has been elected to ten consecutive terms.  The ponies down there love him!  He could tell them that they mistook it for green clouds and blame it on Chrysalis and they would believe him."

Shining Armor came into the throne room and asked Twilight, "So when are you going to cast the hurricane spell to hit our parents' ship?"

Twilight replied, "Tomorrow after breakfast.  They should be in the exact spot I want them to be in.  They are going to be in for the surprise of their lives when they run into that hurricane!"

Shining Armor replied, "Yep, they will be.  I think we should get plenty of rest tonight so you will have as much energy as possible for that spell." 

"Agreed," said Twilight "I'm off to bed now.  Good night everypony."
