Something I just realized during the scene at the beginning where Tempest petrifies Princess Luna in midair. There was no one else around to catch her. Tempest was essentially  gambling on the hopes that Twilight would leave herself open for an attack when she goes to catch Luna (if not for Derpy and Rainbow Dash saving her at the last minute), showing just how determined she is to get her horn back.

Now think about this: What if Twilight hadn't caught Luna in time? Tempest would've bascially sabotaged her own dream of restoring her horn, since the Storm King needed all four alicorn princesses for the Staff of Sacanas.
