At Las Pegasus, a storm brewed in, making ponies curious about where the weather came from. Unusual that only the weather patrol has the power to control it, but the storm was something else. As each one took shelter, a news pony began to report the about the storm that interestingly came about. Cabaleron, Daring Do, Amplitude, Bronze Compass, and Spectra watched the report.
“As you can see now, this weather is oddly forming and is getting bigger. Reports say weather patrol has no idea where or how this storm formed. Further investigation is on the way.” The reporter said.
“Titannus’ storm spell has tripled. I really can’t believe he’s doing this.” Cabaleron commented.
“It’s almost as if he’s able to alter the weather to rough conditions. What if the Princess…”
“The Princess shall not interfere…” Alteros spoke from behind.
“In addition, you tell the Archivist to send back the Princess of Friendship along with that former wretch of mine?” he continued.
“But Master. They are key…” Amplitude said.
“I do not care!” Alteros concluded before vanishing into thin air.
“Why does he hate her so much? Like seriously…what did she do to him?” Spectra asked.
“I don’t know.” Cabaleron said.
“Spectra, can you please go downstairs and await the Archivist with the Princess.” Cabaleron asked.
“Of course.” She replied, walking out of the room.
Within the hour, the train finally arrived at Las Pegasus, yet the weather was stormy as everypony ran to shelter. As for Twilight and the others, the Archivist led their way to Cabaleron’s lab. As they plowed through the monstrous storm Rainbow Dash looked up trying to observe the storm.
“I may be part of the weather patrol but this isn’t normal? Seriously, what the hay is going on?” she asked.
“Titannus’ Storm Spell. He’s the only alicorn, for that matter the only creature that can create storms.” Discord mentioned.
“Hurricane’s to be precise, but he needs to makes sure he has enough magic. If not, he won’t be able to summon it. Like his brothers, he needs to recuperate. Using a lot of magic drains his body greatly.” The Archivist added.
Soon they all arrived at Cabaleron’s lab, where Amplitude stood.
“Greetings, Princess Twilight. I am Spectra. We have been expecting you all. Please follow me.” She said.
On the way up, they opened the door and stood Doctor Cabaleron, Daring Do, Amplitude, and Bronze Compass. They each greeted one another and gave a tour of the lab. Suprisingly, the technology that was in the lab was beyond Twilight’s understanding.
“This technology actually belongs to Master Alteros’. He gave it to us to record sounds and frequencies anyway in the world as well as underwater.” Bronze Compass said.
Twilight walked up to the computers, observing every single one of them. She couldn’t understand most of it, but added that the only place she saw that piece of technology was in the alternate world. Speaking of alternate world, the Archivist thought, she walked to Cabaleron discussing their recent encounter with the Bronco-Titan. Doctor Cabaleron raised an eyebrow.
“That’s strange. Just earlier this morning, we picked up a sound.” Bronze Compass mentioned.
“Well, I can tell you that Titannus roared out, cracking windows and glass. Something you would find common with Sirens.” The Archivist said.
“Sirens?” Twilight asked.
“Oh Twilight. Didn’t we receive a message from Sunset Shimmer about Sirens?” Pinkie Pie mentioned.
“Yes, but what do they have to do with Titannus and his roar? Why is he interested in me?” Twilight paused.
Cabaleron and the Archivist turned to Twilight.
“He smelled the scent of his daughters on you, Twilight Sparkle.” Amplitude spoke.
Cabaleron turned to the Archivist.
“Out of curiosity, were the names of the Sirens, Adagio, Aria, and Sonata?” both he asked.
“Yes. From what I read, they were banished into that world by Star-Swirled the Bearded. Why?” Twilight asked.
“I remember that incident. Harsh it was, for him and myself.” Discord sadly replied.
The Archivist looked at Discord.
“Yes. At that same time period, you took on the name Discord, when your true and original name was Janus. And that was way after Alteros’ betrayal. But that is for another time.” She mentioned.
“Well…what about the Sirens and Titannus.” Fluttershy asked.
“And what does Star-Swirled have to do with this.” Rainbow Dash added.
“The truth was never recorded, because we wanted to avoid a global incident even away from the Princesses.” Cabaleron said.
“Wait. What happened?” Applejack asked.
“After the banishment of the Sirens, Titannus who was far down in the dark depths of Vorago’s Deep failed to receive a return response from them. Drawn with concern, he resurfaced to find them but failed again now sensing that they have been banished. Enraged, he hunted down the only pony responsible of doing such a thing…Star-Swirled the Bearded.” The Archivist said.
“After finding and interrogating his apprentice, Clover the Clever she revealed to him her master’s whereabouts and set out to find him. Then the unexpected happened…” she paused.
“What happened?” Daring Do asked.
“Titannus put Star-Swirled out of his misery for the crime of banishing his daughters without his consent.” Cabaleron added.
All the ponies stood extremely still after hearing Cabaleron’s words. None of them expected to hear the death of a well-known wizard would fall against one of the most powerful alicorn’s that walked Equestria.
“One major reason why he has grown an interest in Twilight. Not only does she understand Star-Swirled’s spells but her encounter with Titannus’ daughters.” The Archivist added.
“Two for the Price of one.” Amplitude smirked.
“Titannus…slayed Star-Swirled?” Twilight choked.
“Unfortunately, yes.” Cabaleron replied.
“…And due to the Queen, heartbroken by his death, ordered us to find Titannus and arrest him. Though a battle between him and I ensued, I was able to defeat him and send to Tartarus immediately.” Alteros said, walking out of the shadows.
“Though you could say I would’ve preferred him dead, but imprisonment would be an eternal torture for him.” Alteros concluded.
They ponies turned and saw him, giving them an angry expression. Not willing to look at both Twilight and Discord, he turned to the Archivist.
“What have I told you? I told you not to have these…things interfere with our current situation.” He spoke angrily.
“With all due respect, Master. Twilight…” the Archivist was interrupted.
“I do not care, Archivist!” Alteros yelled as he disappeared.
