It was a nice, cool, evening when I was sitting in my home, looking back at my collection of close range weaponry. I had a closet locked away with a katana, kusari-gama, wing blades, hoof claws and talons, and my trusty butterfly knife. Looking back at it gave me memories of when I had joined the Counter Changeling Royal Protection Agency, and met Deadshot. He was the leader of the agency and with my advanced close range weaponry training and skills, he sent me to assassinate many Changeling kingpins. I would silently fly into the Changelings' many bases of operations and assassinate the leader to each of those operations. With my powers, it was easy to go in undetected because if someone saw me, I would freeze them and then knock them unconscious. DeadShot saw this as an advantage to his team so he made me his infiltrator and informant. We had become close friends over the 6 years I was there, but I had left because it was the only job I could find at the time that I could get enough bits to maintain myself. Afterwards, I had decided to go back to Ponyville and you all know how that song and dance went. I felt a bit nostalgic looking back at my weapons, the first one I grabbed was my butterfly knife.

"I wonder if I can still do tricks with this," I pondered.

I took the safe handle and started flipping the blade around, throwing it up in the air and catching it at the right times so it was open.

"Huh, guess I still can." I said to myself.

I pulled out my sword and tested its sharpness by going to a nearby tree stump outside. I took my stance, gripped the katana strong, ran towards the tree in a hasty, ninja-style way, and slashed the blade cleanly through the tree.

"Looks like it's still perfectly sharp, and not a single dent. Nice!" I said while overlooking my blade.

Next I pulled out my hoof claws and talons and attached them to my hoofs, and tightened them.

"Agh!! Too tight!!" I screamed while loosening it.

I went back outside and primed for a flipping kick. I threw a piece of the already cut stump high in the air, jumped up in a backflip and chopped it with an upwards kick. I went back into my house, grabbed the kusari-gama and went to the nearest apple tree. I looked for an apple to hit. When I found one I started swinging the weight end. When I got it to a stable speed, I threw it up and knocked an apple off of a branch into the air. Almost immediately I primed the sickle to throw. When I pulled the weight down I threw the sickle a bit of a distance from the apple, then yanked the chain and it sliced the apple in two. With the momentum of the sickle, I spun around loosening the chain and sliced the apple into 4 pieces, catching the sickle by its handle.

"Hah, looks like I've still got it in me!" I yelled while admiring the trick i just pulled.

i wrapped the chain and weight around the sickle and headed back into my house to put everything back, then i pulled up the wing blades saying,

"Hmm. Nah, I can't test these, they are a little too obvious for everypony to see and I don't need to have any problems with anypony."

Suddenly there was a knock on my door,

"Hey Frostieeeeee!!! It's Pinkie!! Open up, please," Pinkie Pie said behind the door.

I opened my door and was greeted by the vibrant pink party pony.

"Oh, hi Pinkie. What's up?" I asked her,

"Oh you know, just keeping everypony happy as usual. I came to say that we all want to hang out again so we could hear more of your stories or anything you could tell us," she said with a huge smile.

"Oh, really? When?" i asked,

"In an hour or two at Twilight's library, I'll rally up the others and then get you on the way back, okay?" she responded.

"Okay then, see you in a bit Pinks,"

"Okey dokey lokey Frostie," she said before leaving.

I looked back at my weapons closet and pondered, "I wonder how Deadshot and his team are holding up?"

A few hours before, at an undisclosed location

"Dammit, I can't find him! Why can't I find him!? I need his skills back on this team!" Deadshot yelled in anger.

He turned around, looked at his team and shook his head, "Ah, fuck it, I'll just do it the old fashioned way and search for him myself. My other informants have no clue who they are looking for."

Deadshot walked out of his secluded base of operations when he saw hovering above him the mail mare on her daily route.

"Hey, mail mare!!" He yelled,

Derpy quickly turned her head around, "Yes?"

"Do you know Frost Bite? A cyan blue Pegasus with a multicolored mohawk and tail? Has an eye scar he got as a young colt?" He asked

"Yes, I do know him. He lives in Ponyville. Why? Do you know him?" She asked

"Yes, I'm an old friend of his, he joined my Counter Changeling Royal Protection Agency after he got his cutie mark, by which he told me he got by saving your life." He responded

"That's correct, he did save my life." She said

"Thanks for the intel, I really need to find him. Continue your daily job Derpy." Deadshot quickly said before taking off for Ponyville.

"Now I can go find Frost. I really need to get him back on this agency, It has really fallen apart since he departed." Deadshot said to himself.
