BOOM

Twilight watched in frightened confusion as a large metal airship descended from the dark clouds in the sky. It carelessly came down in town square causing several collems to collapse to rubble, luckily everyone had backed away from it already so no one was in danger.

A heavy metal ramp dropped from the airship and from it several men wearing helmets vaguely shaped like wolf heads and thick plates of metal descended the ramp carrying some kind of box. A boy who barely seemed older than Spike with short grey spiky hair fallowing behind them. They set down the box when they reached the bottom of the ramp, the boy walking up to it to grab a microphone off the back causing it to unfold into some kind of speaker. "People of Equestria, we come on behalf of the fearsome, the powerful, the mighty Storm King! And now, to deliver his message, put your hands together for Commander Tempest!" The boy spoke with a lisp, giving the signal for a woman to come down the ramp.

"Tempest, is it?" Celestia asked as she and the other princesses made there way forward, Twilight right behind them. "How may we help you?" Twilight glanced at Celestia as she spoke, there was a edge to her voice she hadn't heard ever before.

"Oh, I'm so glad you asked. How about we start with your complete and total surrender."

"Hi there, princess of friendship." Twilight stepped around the other three to try and lower the ambient hostility. "I'm not exactly sure whats going on, but I know we can talk things out."

"Oh goody, all four princesses." Tempest said, her sabatons clinking on the ramp as she walked. "Here's the deal, ladies. I need your magic. Give it up nicely, please, or we make it difficult for everyone!"

"And why should we cower before you? There's on of you, and hundreds of us." Luna said while gently pushing Twilight back behind her and her sister.

"Oh I was hoping you would choose difficult." At the end of her sentence more airships began to descend from the sky and the men with the wolf-like masks activated their magic, causing themselves to be encased in a dark grey ethereal glow that resembled some form of large beast. More men began to fall from the ships, their magic already activated, and proceeded to engage in combat with the guards and anyone else that stayed to fight and not run in panic. Tempest was running to engage the princesses with several green glowing black orbs in hand.

But before she could throw one a large explosion shook the ground under her, causing her to stop to keep her balance. Twilight looked to the ships looking for cannons but saw none. 'But, if they didn't cause it... then who did?' She thought to herself looking around to see almost everyone had stopped and was looking towards the source, smaller explosions flashing on a side street.

Just as Tempest was about to take advantage of the distraction another large explosion went off with a warcry, "DIIIIIE!!!" and sent a number of her solders flying, one tumbling to a stop right in front of her looking sufficiently beaten. The man responsible stepped through the smoke. He was wearing what seemed to be torn and tattered civilian clothing that had some armor under it.

The man raised his hand in-front of himself, a series of small explosions coming off of it before he yelled out. "THESE ASS-HATS YOUR GUYS BITCH?!" He was met with quiet shock as everyone just stared at him.

He seemed to have enough of the silent treatment as he dipped forward in a charging position and threw his hands behind him with another series of much stronger explosions sending him flying forward, another warcry on his lips. "DIIIIE BITCH!!"

The princesses and elements of harmony, as well as the other civilians and combatants present, watched in shocked awe as he cleared town square in about five seconds and threw a large right handed hay-maker that ended with another explosion. Everyone saw as more flashes of explosions came through the smoke, some solid yellow and red and others multicolored blue. Twilight turned to go help others in the square only to see that the attacking force was watching in interest, as if they head never seen someone stand toe-to-toe with their commander. They had even deactivated their magic in order to watch.

She turned back to the fight to see the smoke partially cleared and the man throwing another obvious right hand hay-maker and tempest already in position to block it and counter. Only instead of throwing an attack like was expected the man grabbed her arm and used his other arm to set off a chain of explosions to both dodge Tempest own explosive attack and spin himself into a throw, sending Tempest flying towards the edge of the mountain city.

Tempest manged to perform some mid-air acrobatics to catch herself before she went over the edge. As both combatants charged at each other Twilight had a thought and dipped her vision into the ambient magic of the word to watch as there magic itself moved to try and figure out what spells they where using. The only explosive spells she knew of where long range demolition spells, which were not used as much nowadays in favor of dynamite and wrecking balls which were more accurate and safer.

With her vision in the magic spectrum she could see the fight far more clearly. The first thing she noticed was that both of them had enough magic power to rival Starlight, and maybe even herself. The second thing she noticed was that the mans magic was highly volatile and she would be surprised if he could do anything other than cause explosions with it. And Tempest was casting actual spells that she knew but something was causing them to fail into an unguided mess at the last second.

The last thing she noticed was their lymbotic system's, or the magic neural system. The mans was normal for the most part but seemed to be gathered in large enough clusters on his forearms that she could see with perfect accuracy the smallest of movements in his forearms and hands as well as the exorbitant amount of magic coursing through them at highly unsafe levels. Where as Tempest lymbotic system revealed why her spells were failing. Her lymbotic system looked like it had been torn to shreds as there were four large gashes running through it. The magic coursing through it escaping the system and connecting to the ambient magic of the world, allowing her to more easily pull on said ambient magic but also causing her to force more magic through then needed and collapsing any spell she cast. The only way she could cast a proper spell would be out side of combat where she focus entirely on it or to cast different parts of the spell in different parts of her body and then contort herself into awkward positions to cast it.

Twilight is finally pulled from her observations as the mans magic begins to rapidly swirl around him, causing an ethereal wind to pick up in the town square alerting every one to the fact that an incredibly powerful spell is about to be cast. The wind then changes direction to an updraft around Twilight, sending Celestia's and Luna's hair blowing upwards, and a downdraft on the other side of the fight as the man sends himself into the air and proceeds to start spinning himself with explosions. These explosions seem to have some kind of spell cast with them but Twilight is unable to make them out as they fade and are covered by another to rapidly.

His spell reaches the point that the wind is now affecting other things and making Twilight, The princesses, and the elements have to hold their skirts/dresses down, Aside from Rainbow and Applejack that is, as all of their hair is now billowing upwards. The man then throws his arms forward and lets out an explosion strong enough for the shock-wave knock everyone back.

Celestia uses a spell to clear the smoke and reveal the man was sent back into a building and was slowly pulling himself out while Tempest was nowhere to be seen, until a section of the square collapses to fall down the mountain and an alarmed yelp brings attention to a hand griping the hand rail right next to the collapsed part. Tempest slowly pulls herself up only to freeze as she hears a crack and the area she is hanging on begins to crumble.

Twilight begins to cast a levitation spell to save her only lose her focus at the repeated sound of explosions and the man fly's past her to Tempest. Fearing the worst Twilight tries her spell again only to stop as he grabs Tempest and then uses his explosions to redirect them back onto solid ground before they both collapse from exhaustion.

It's Pinkie that finally breaks the silence. "Well... that happened."

Author's Note:

I think it's obvious but I'm going to say it anyway. Everyone in this story is human and do not have out of the box colors. And this takes place years after her his displacement. When he was sent here he was Bakugo's age from the show, AKA 15, he is now in his late twenties.

And because I can I'm gonna put this here.

Think of fighting scenes like a turn based event, except attacks can hit, miss, target dodges, counters, attack hits and attacker hits back, runs away, how they react to the attack, etc. The two will keep exchanging that way for a number of turns until you feel there's enough action for that battle.

Not bad was hoping bakugo was a girl

[vortex123]

This is interesting, and he’s so much like the original he’d probably fool Deku.

That's good to hear as my goal was a slightly more grown up and mature version of him, while changing as little as possible.
