Tempest Shadow: Difference between revisions

Tempest soon landed her airship in the midst of the ongoing festival, and after Grubber announced her emerged from the vessel and called on the princesses to surrender their magic. When {{FIM|Princess Luna}} questioned why hundreds of ponies should submit to one, Tempest chuckled as additional airships flew in carrying Storm Creatures. During the ensuing panic, Tempest threw [[obsidian orbs]] at the princesses, and succeeded in striking {{FIM|Princess Cadance}}, {{FIM|Princess Celestia}}, and Luna and turning them to stone. However, when she attempted to strike Twilight, {{FIM|Rainbow Dash}} got her out of the way and {{FIM|Derpy}} was petrified instead. She quickly ordered Grubber to find and capture Twilight, only for her to escape.

 

 

Tempest arrived at Capper's home just as Twilight and her friends were about to be taken away by [[Verko]], who made the mistake of assuming that Tempest was a helpless pony. She quickly corrected his misconception with a blast, only for Twilight's group to take advantage of her arrival to make their escape. Taking Capper captive, Tempest ordered him to tell her where they had gone; however, their kindness influenced Capper to lead her towards [[Black Skull Island]]. His deception was short-lived, as Rainbow Dash foolishly performed a [[sonic rainboom]] near [[Captain Celaeno]]'s ''[[Prism Wing]]'' airship. Tempest's ship soon caught up with the parrots and boarded them, and after Twilight and her friends escaped through a cargo hatch, Tempest used her magic to destroy the vessel.

Following the festival, accounts of Tempest's subsequent actions vary, with one stating that she and Grubber decided to spread the magic of friendship beyond Equestria.<ref>''[[The Great Princess Caper]]''</ref> Another account has her taking up residence in Canterlot,<ref>''[[Beyond Equestria: Fluttershy Balances the Scales]]''</ref> though Twilight would invite her to live in Ponyville.<ref>[[School Daze]]</ref> Tempest does indeed seem to have spent some time in Ponyville, but felt out of place and overwhelmed by the other ponies' efforts to make her feel welcome. Tempest thus resolved to leave and spread word of the Storm King's defeat, as well as teaching others what she had learned about friendship and seeking a place for herself in the world. This would lead her to such locations as Appleoosa, [[Chicoltgo]], the [[Everfree Forest]] [[Horsealulu]], and [[New Horseleans]], where she had encounters-both friendly and icy-with ponies and creatures such as [[Chief Thunderhooves]] and [[King Aspen]].

 

 

The two soon got down to work, with Glitter Drops explaining that something had been stealing food from the local ponies and destroying their property. During an encounter with one victim, [[Icy Shanks]], Tempest became frustrated with his attitude, also resenting the fact that Cadance had purposefully sent her on this mission in order to reconcile with Glitter Drops. Annoyed by them both, Tempest left only to be caught up by Glitter Drops, who attempted to confront her about her attitude. Tempest nearly exploded at her, but at that point the two found some of the stolen food in a trail, which Tempest charged along in order to find and stop the thief. However, she found herself confronted by the [[Ursa Minor of the Northern Wastes]], and became paralyzed at the memory of her childhood encounter with another of the creatures.
