caliber woke up, yawned, stretched, and got outta bed. he walked to the others, getting ready for the day, which was namely, putting his cloak on. but something felt off. he looked at his side to discover he had wings!! he looked at it for a couple seconds before unsheathing his sword, and preparing to cut them off. "nope, im fine the way i am. these'll get in the way." he said bluntly.

Peppermint Harmony

Peppermint woke up as the light filtered through the windows. She shuffled a little in her place, before rolling off the bed and standing up. The first thing that she had done was place her necklace back on, before turning attention to Chrysteel. "Are you alright?" she asked.

[Midnight_Aurora 571]

Chrysteel remains as she is. She keeps repeating the same words over and over again. "Not good. Can't feel it. Can't return true self. Alone. Not normal. Want be normal again. Not true self, need be true self."

 

Chrysteel looks to be in a state of shock and fear. It doesn't look like she will come out of it anytime soon.

Midnight lurched forward in her bed, lodging her sharp horn into her head board. As she turned over, she ended up banging her horn in the hole the horn had made. "Eeek!" the filly exclaimed, now awake from the strong surge of pain. A small tear trickled down her cheek from the pain she had been exposed to.

Amber was used to camping out away from home, but it still took her a moment to remember where she was when the sound of chatter woke her up in the morning.

Amber Dust hadn't fallen asleep easily that night--or any night, really. Although this pseudo-insomnia made for a good survival tactic, it also made for quite the headache come morning. The thought of monsters, the Elements, and the Princess had kept bouncing about in her mind, never giving even the slightest chance to catch up. It wasn't until a couple hours before she was woken that Amber had finally fallen asleep. She groaned quietly as ponies chattered around her.

Slowly, Amber lifted herself up and out of bed, stretching herself bit by bit. First her stiff neck, then her sore legs, her aching wings...

...wings?

Amber's eyes bulged open as she stared in disbelief at the pair of minty wings that had sprouted from her back. She looked back to the group in shock, and suddenly realized what all the chatter was about.

"We're all Alicorns!" she gasped, still in disbelief. Her wings locked to her sides almost instinctively, and although Amber was thrilled, she couldn't help feeling I'll at ease. First the elements, now this, the mare thought. She tried an experimental flap with her wings.

"i know" caliber said, still trying to find the exact right spot that'll slice right through his wings un-painfully. "im working on it." he grinned at her. "you want me to do you, next?" he asked jokingly. "im pretty sure it wont hurt...much" he was thinking about keeping his wings, of course, but he felt as long as he had these wings, they'd get in the way during combat. he was too used to his current style, and wings would just complicate it.

[LyraBae 82]

"Caliber, you can get my element off my wings?" the small filly asked, wiping off the fresh tears she had shed. She coursed her hoof through her mane, trying to tame it. She stretched her now normal wings. Midnight was a tad bit sad that her wonderful berry-picking dream had ended.

[AmberDust 1,118]

"What are you doing?" Amber cried, as the swordspony took a few practice swings at his new feathers. She stomped up to him madly and, with a wisp of orange magic, pulled the sword frantically out of his hooves--however, her magic was more powerful now than it used to be, and much to the mare's surprise, the sword shot violently into the ceiling, where it stayed, stuck.

Amber smiled apologetically as her face coloured.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to do...that." She stared up at the sword. However, enbarassment was soon replaced with reproach as she looked back down towards Caliber.

"What were you trying to do just now, hmm?" she asked, orange eyes piercing his. She looked quite angry indeed, and had a rather motherly air about her as she forced eye contact. "That could have killed you," she said, more softly this time.

Peppermint Harmony

Peppermint heard the other mare jump back in surprise.  Then her gaze darted over to the grey unicorn - alicorn? After a bit of pondering, she looked on her back to see if anything new had happened to her. Almost as soon as she did, a pair of wings that were very plush shot up in surprise. "Mmmmm, aaah!" Peppermint's voice faltered, going higher in tone when her mouth was closed and out when she had opened her mouth.

 

"Wings!" she whispered, before settling down a little. She then looked ahead, before letting her lower eyelids raise slightly as she gazed down. Then, she looked back up. "But how..."
 

[P-Jay 1,987]

caliber positively freaked when his sword was wrenched away, and he frantically tried to fly to get it back. he awkwardly got it, and fell back down, sticking the landing. he glared back at amber with eyes that were much more dark than they normally were. "dont ever, take my sword again." he said with a voice that made normal ponies shrink away. "ever." he turned away. "i know what can kill me, and what cant. there was a reason i wasn't blindly trying to slice it off." he wasn't his goofy self, he was furious.

[LyraBae 82]

Midnight turned her gaze over to Peppermint, "Haven't you always had wings?" She cocked her head, "We've always been alicorns, haven't we?" she said, "It's how we've been for like, ever." What a daft young pony!  the alicorn thought, wondering if Peppermint had gone through amnesia, or worse! 

[P-Jay 1,987]

caliber took a deep breath, and turned to midnight. "yeah...maybe, i dont know." he said, still trying to cool off. "let me see your wing, there might be a simpler solution." he looked at her wing, examining it. "i dont even know how this happened. for the rest of us, it was on our things, not bodies."

[LyraBae 82]

Midnight gleamed, her eyes twinkling like the stars, "So, you won't amputate my wings, I am not fond of having any parts of my body cut, sliced, or magiced, off." Thank Celestia... she thought to herself, happily. I hope Amber and Caliber won't get into another tizzy...

[AmberDust 1,118]

Amber rolled her eyes at the angered swordsman as the spark of drama from getting wings was smothered by frustration.

"Sorry," she repeated flatly as he turned away in a huff. How would he know if cutting his wings off wouldn't kill him? Amber thought hotly. He's never had wings before...I was just trying to protect him, anyways...Her thoughts trailed off. Admittedly, she'd be pretty upset, too, if somepony launched one of her prized possessions into the ceiling. This new magic was really something. She decided to turn her attention to mastering her new body.

Amber gave another few experimental flaps with her wings, hovering wobbily in the air for a few moments before falling back on her hooves. She gazed around to see if anypony else was doin the same.

The other ponies were, in fact, taking their new abilities rather poorly. Chrysteel was in emotional shock, and Caliber was trying to off his wings at any cost. Amber thought for a moment.

"This can't be real," she whispered to herself.

[Midnight_Aurora 571]

Chrysteel is still in her fetal position. She is muttering the same thing over and over. Her worst fears finally a reality, or she thinks. She continues with this despite what was going on around her. "Not normal. Can't sense it. Can't feel it. Not true self. Wish to be true self."

[LordSwinton 759]

Starchase woke up violently as he bumped his horn into the wall and tumbled down tangled in his sheets. It usually took a world war or a dog.

 

"Am I dreaming?!" He shouted from under the sheets. Spreading his wings, they hit the metal frame of the bunk leading to much groaning.

 

"Can we get breakfast?" He faintly muffled.

[Midnight_Aurora 571]

Chrysteel says, "Something made with love and care please."

 

She looks like I finally be starting to calm down. She says, "hmmm...Going to try something. Y'all might want to get back."

 

Her horn flares brightly. She is encased in a pink fire, covering her from head to hoof. When the flames die down she looks like an alicorn Version of her Amore Apple form.

 

She looks herself over and says, "What the buck?! This form was never an Alicorn. Something isn't right here. My transformation magic has never had this kind of blunder."

 

As she says this she also starts swaying. "Whoa...why is the room spinning?"

 

(guess what finally hit her. the ambient love consumption. However too much love consumed. Alicorn strength spells draw it allot faster.)

[Midnight_Aurora 571]

Chrysteel suddenly raises a blue/silver shield when Lektra's magic goes out of control. The lightning bouncing off of it at an alarming rate. Chrysteel is surprised by how much power she has. She feels she has enough love in her to feed 20 hives. She also looks drunk off her flank.

[P-Jay 1,987]

caliber turned to see the shockwave coming towards him. "well...crap." he said, as he was shocked to the core. he gritted his teeth, glaring at lektra. he was counting on the alicorn-immortality to let him survive, which he did. when it finally stopped, he laid there on the floor, catching his breath. "lektra...you...are going down..."

Arcing Storm

Storm sighed in relief when Chrysteel slowly calmed down, and backed off when she told them to. The pink fire made him squint his eyes due to its brightness before it died down, leaving Chrysteel as another pony. It would be strange for anypony else seeing her changing her appearance but that wasn't the case for Storm as he had seen it for quite a few times.

And then Lektra woke up and started panicking as well. What the hay is going on today? They were fine yesterday... He thought to himself before setting up a barrier to shield himself from Lektra's shockwave, letting it absorbs all of the voltage instead of him. Storm knew he could stand it but he wasn't going to take chances. "I'm alright." He spoke up once the shockwave had disapppeared, starting to walk over to Lektra. "Anything wrong?"

[Midnight_Aurora 571]

Chrysteel reverts to her previous form and walks over to Lektra. "Lektra are you ok? It seams you had a power surge of some kind just now."

 

Chrysteel still looks upset about her change of form but she is over the initial love high she suffered when her love consumption ability finally kicked in.

caliber was still. moving meant pain. static sparked around him. "i know you didnt do it on purpose..." he said, still lying on the floor. "but it still hurt..." he slowly got back up, and picked up his sword, which gave him a nasty shock. he growled, and sheathed it. "you should've tried harder to keep it in check." he snarled, before leaving for breakfast.

[Midnight_Aurora 571]

Chrysteel looks to Lektra. "Try that control technique the instructor taught us yesterday. Why did I just say that?"

 

Chrysteel now looks more confused. First her true self has changed and now this. She heads out for breakfast before she has another panic attack.

[LordSwinton 759]

Starchase was probably the only one that was really happy about their current predicament. He was proud of his new wings. Being stuck under a sheet giggling like a schoolfilly, he was rather caught off guard by the commotion.

 

"Now that that's over, I'm famished!" He smiled as he slipped his scarf around him.

 

They stepped out the room to a guarded compound, barb wires and fences, the works. The pegasi who saw them immediately bowed in their presence.

Midnight looked over at Lektra, trotting over to her. "Don't worry, you'll get your powers under control." She warmly smiled, then clopped over to find some breakfast. Midnight was hungry. She followed Starchase's lead. She daydreamed the delights she would be eating.
