Spirits of the Seasons.

Canterlot Dungeon.

Somewhere deep inside the Canterlot dungeon has been kept one of the most dangerous secrets Equestria knows. It holds the spirit of winter and summer, No pony knows why. Some say that the spirits are alicorns and some say others say that they are alien.

One of those things is right. They are alicorns and even more powerful then Celestia and Luna together, at least that is what they think. They harness the power of the winter, the summer, joy and laughter. The spirit of winter is called Raising Snow, and the spirit of the Summer is called Summer Light.

They used to rule the winter and the summer together with the other spirits of the seasons. Falling Leaf; spirit of Autumn, and Blooming Flower; Spirit of spring. After Celestia and Luna came in control of the throne Celestia banished the Spirits of Autumn and Spring. And locked the spirits of winter and summer in the deepest part of the dungeon for all eternity. The reason is still unknown to everypony

***

A thousand years have passed since the spirits have been locked away. They are watched 24/7. But today was the day that they will break free from this prison to regain their position as rulers of the seasons. Since they are locked together they have become rather close to each other (In the way of friendship and family). So they will help each other no matter what.

They can’t talk to each other physically but their minds can. They talked to each other as they wait for the perfect moment to escape. They have gathered all the strength they could muster over the years of imprisonment and broke out of the Elemental plain into the waking world. The escape didn’t go as quiet as they hoped. Because they blew a large crater in the ground that swept all the guards away leaving them unconscious.

“Eh… Snow? You could just make a gap instead of blowing up the whole place.” Summer said while shaking the dust out of her mane.

“Nah… what’s the fun in that.” Snow replied.

“Well it might be if you didn’t warn Celestia or Luna!” summer yelled.

“Relax. We are in the deepest part of the Canterlot dungeons no one could have heard us.” Reassured Snow. “But I must say, you look quiet sexy in your adult body.” He said with a wink as he looked at Summers slim orange body and coat. Her tail and mane were a fierce red and yellow. But what snow was actually looking at was her flank with her unique cutie-mark. A swirling sun with a red heart in the middle.

“Urg… we don’t have time to flirt.” Summer groaned playfully. “But you don’t look bad yourself Snow.” She said while overlooking Snows body. He had a ice blue coat with a toned body. His tail and mane were like ice; A bright white with  cyan Highlights. His cutie-mark was a blue heart covered with ice filled with snow crystals.

Snow gave a light chuckle as they trotted towards a rather large staircase. They both sight as Snow said “Ah, my old enemy. Stairs.” and with that they started to climb the stairs. A mere hour had passed as they made it to the top of the stairs.

“Finally… at… the… top…” Snow panted as he placed a hoof on his chest to catch his breath. “We had to take the stairs did we?” he asked.

“It is the only way out Snow, you know that. And we have bigger problems right now…” she replied as she points a hoof towards a large group of guards how had gathered while they were talking.

“Oh, this is going to be fun.” He said in his demonic voice. Fun fact; snow can for some reason use 2 voices at the time. It is intimidating and downright scary at the same time.

Every guard was trembling on their hooves as Snow spoke. They were downright scared as they watched Snows eyes glow an ice blue and ice that was creeping on his body that was forming into an armor. His wings were now partly covered in ice as snow fell of the feathers and coat.

“Time to eat…” he said in his demonic voice again which causes to let all the guards faint right there and now, to which Snow burst into laughter.

“Hahahaha!! Priceless, the guards have became more pathetic then they already were a 1000 years ago.” Snow said as he was rolling on the floor laughing.

“Come on Snow we don’t have time to waste on those guards, let’s get a move on!” Summer said as they rush through the halls of the castle. But what they didn’t know is that the princesses were already expecting them.

***

The princesses were sitting on their own thrones when an explosion echoed through the castle. They knew what was going on and were prepared for the attack from the Spirits; Snow and Summer. They were waiting for them together with the Elements of harmony.

They waited for a long time to finally face the spirits once again. They knew that after Nightmare Moons escape that the Spirits would follow suit. Everything came down to this day, that they finally escaped to reclaim their title as the spirits of the seasons.

“Princess when do you think they will come?” asked Twilight.

“Yea! When do I get the chance to kick those spirits flanks!” said Rainbow Dash who was starting to grow impatient.

“Simmer down Rainbow, Ah don’ think it’s a good Idea to charge right at them when they enter the room. After tha’ explosion I wouldn’t even want to know how strong they are.” Replied the apple farmer.

“I don’t know my faithful student, but I know they will come to reclaim what is rightfully theirs.” Said the Princess, and Right on the cue the door burst open and a flow of cold wind and snow entered the room.

Everyone gasped in surprise while Fluttershy hide behind Applejack. After a few second a faint shimmer could be seen in the door opening. It was glowing an ice blue and radiated a intense cold.

Rainbow Dash, Twilight and Applejack took on a defensive stance and were ready to attack whatever was standing there.

“Oh No! My beautiful mane! Ruined! This. Is. The. Worst. Possible. THING!” screamed Rarity.

“Girls, Focus! We need to use the elements of harmony, Quick!” yelled Twilight as she charged her element. Soon everypony was surrounded by the glow of the elements as they fired the Rainbow colored beam. The elements shot towards the faint shimmer in the mist. Once it reached its target the mist grew denser and started to spread around the throne room. The elements were totally drained from their energy as they rested on the floor.

“well, we showed that… spirit not to… mess with the Princess.” Said Rainbow while panting.

“Oh… that not nice to use the elements on those you haven’t seen in more than a thousand years.” Said the Spirit with a demonic voice that even made the princess shudder in fear. Which Twilight had never seen before.

“I can final- *cough* *cough*. God… *cough* doing that just kills your throat.” Said a rather normal male voice.

“I warned you… but NO mister freeze-a-lot just wants to make a dramatic entrance. But I must say I am impressed about how long you can hold that voice.” Said a female voice behind the faintly shimmering frame.

“Ok I get it… let me just clear this mist, I can’t even see my own hooves right now.” Replied the Male voice again as the mist slowly started to disappear.

After the mist was gone they could see two rather large ponies. They also could make out which voice belonged to which pony. The male voice belonged to a large Alicorn Stallion with a ice blue coat and a White mane with cyan Highlights. His body was pretty toned and well trained.

The soft female voice belonged to the other Alicorn. She had a slim body with a  soft Orange coat. her mane was a fierce red and yellow that flows like fire.

“Ah, that is way better. Now where were we?” asked the stallion.

The elements and the princesses (who stopped shaking) looked at the two alicorns with utter disbelieve. When Twilight broke the awkward silence.

“Eh… excuse me, but who are you?” she asked.

“Hmm?” replied the stallion. “Oh, so you all are the Elements of harmony. Honesty, loyalty, kindness, generosity, laughter and last but not least magic; the most powerful of all. Am I correct?”

“And for who I am? You should have heard about me and the others from your beloved princess, who locked us up for a thousand years and banished the two others out this dimension.” The stallion stated. “I am Raising Snow, Spirit and rightful ruler of the winter and this is Summer Light, Spirit and ruler of the summer. We are here to reclaim what is rightfully ours.” Snow stated with a blank expression on his face.

He slowly walks towards the thrones where the elements and the princesses were standing. They could see ice forming on his coat and his eyes started to glow a ice blue as they started to shudder in fear. He was now in front of the Elements who were shaking he leaned in to their faces so they could feel the cold he was radiating.

“Boo.” He said as they all fainted right on the spot which resulted in hysterical laughter.

“Oh you should see their faces, amazing what a bit of magic can do!” snow said as he wiped a single tear out of his eyes.

“Yea Snow, I can see it. I was standing right behind you.” Said Summer from behind.

“Oke, where were we? Oh yea, Celly and Lulu. It’s great to see you both again after a thousand years, how are you all?” Snow asked as he moved closer to Celestia’s face. He was slightly taller than her.

“No-one calls me Celly accept for Luna.” Celestia replied with venom in her voice.

“Oh, cold as always I see. Now then let’s get right down to business.” Snow said.

Meanwhile Summer had walked towards the princess of the night, who she pulled into a tight hug. Letting a few tears run down her face.

“Oh Lulu, I missed you so much. I can’t believe it has been more than a thousand years and look at you, such a lovely mane.” She said as she continued to hug Luna.

“I missed you to Summer,” Luna said as she returned the hug. “I don’t know why Celly had to lock you up but I am glad that you are back. I was so lonely when she did it.”

“Snow…” said Luna while she released Summer. She walked towards the spirit of winter who turned around in surprise.

“Hmm? What is it Lulu?” he replied.

Luna was about to wrap Snow in a tight hug like she did with Summer but before she could reach him he was shot with magic. Luna quickly turned around to see Celestia’s horn glowing, while she was holding an angry expression which quickly changed to one of shock and regret.

“SNOW!!” yelled Summer as she ran towards the now heavy breathing spirit.

“Why did you do that Celestia!” Summer said with tears in her eyes as she was holding Snow in her hooves who was still breathing heavy.

“I-I don’t know, when I saw Luna like this I just reacted.” Celestia said as she did a step towards Snow and Summer.

“stay the buck away from him!” Summer yelled. “I never knew the reason why you locked us up, why you banished Falling Leaf and Blooming Flower. But I forgave you because you didn’t cause any harm to any of us. But now you have crossed a line Celestia, one you should never cross.”

“Snow is like a brother to me, the only family I ever had.” She began to sob again into Snow’s mane who lost conscious not so long ago. Celestia did a few steps closer to the pair of alicorns on the floor.

“I am s-so sorry, it was an accident. I didn’t mean for this to happen.” Celestia said as she walked little by little closer. She was now close enough to see that Snow had a large scourge mark on his chest.

“I told you, STAY AWAY!!” Summer yelled once again, but she is now radiating heat like the sun itself so Celestia had to back away.

Seconds later Flames started to surround the two and it was getting hotter and hotter with every second. After Minutes of swirling flames they disappeared in a flash of light. The room was now empty accept for the Princesses and the Elements who recently woke up. The only thing that was left was a large scourge mark on the floor. Celestia looked at Luna who was giving her a disappointed look. Then the facts hit her like a brick in the head.

“W-what have I done…” she said to herself when she disappeared in a flash back into her chambers.
