The Ice Staff
The Ice Staff
"Twilight! Twilight! Oh, where is she?" Spike asks, worried and a hint of afraid in there.
"What Spike? I'm a bit busy right now."
"It's just that, it's snowing outside. It's the middle of summer."
"What? That can't be. Unless Rainbow Dash is pulling a prank."
"Well, no, it's just too much clouds. I think a blizzard is coming. I don't know."
"That is just, let me see." Twilight said concerned as if spike is hallucinating.
"Okay. I'm telling you, it's crazy."
Twilight starts up the stairs to her bedroom in the library. She looks out the window to find snow everywhere.
"Spike, this is unnatural. Let me see if I have a book on this, or something."
"Okay, then."
Spike watches as twilight runs down the stairs and starts running through books. Mostly books on weather and time. Spike found this interesting.
"Spike, get my ladder please."
"On it." Spike replies almost instantly as he runs from the window.
Spike grabs the ladder and rolls it across the room to Twilight.
"Thanks, Spike."
"No problem."
Spike quickly runs back up the stairs and watches the snowflakes fall. So interesting. Spike is amazed how it's July and there is snow all over.
"I think, no, this can't be it. Nope, nope, nope, nope!"
"Uh, Twilight, I think it's getting worse. Is there some sort of spell on this or something?"
"I can't find anything!"
Spike looks over at Twilight then looks back at the window. The window is now almost covered in snow. Spike would wipe off the snow, except the snow is on the other side of the window.
"The window is covered in snow, is it okay if I go out in the snow? I want to go find Rainbow Dash."
"But she is probably in the sky. How will you get up there?"
"I'm a dragon!"
"With no wings."
"I'll grow them!" Spike replied angrily.
Spike sighed and continued staring at the snow covered window. He notices that it is starting to freeze up.
"Spike. I couldn't find anything, I think we should go see Princess Celestia. "
"By train or by flying?"
"I would think train because of this weather."
"Okay then, I'll get scarfs."
"I'll get some bits to buy tickets."
Spike runs over to the scarf shelf and takes off two scarfs as well as two hats. Twilight gets together about 40 bits for spike and herself.
"Each ticket costs 20 bits. So that means we need 40 bits." Twilight giggled to herself.
Spike and Twilight rush out the door in the snow. Instantly they feel the cold.
"Spike, stay close." Says Twilight in a concerned and loud voice.
The wind is barreling through the streets of ponyville and Spike and Twilight are struggling to get to the train station. They finally end up at the stairs to the train station. They walk up and buy they're tickets. They board the train and head to Canterlot.
"This snow is unreal Spike."
"Yeah, I told you. Didn't I?"
"You said its crazy."
"Still counts."
Twilight and Spike were interrupted in their conversation to a pony dressed in a vendor suit. She must work for the train.
"Would you like some peanuts?" She said in nasally voice.
"No thank you." Twilight replied.
"Okay then, tell me if you need anything!"
The Vendor girl trots away to another group full of people. Twilight could hear her say the same thing she said to her and Spike.
The train stops and the conductor came out into the aisle.
"We are now entering Canterlot."
Spike and Twilight get up off their seats as they walk into the cold and snowy streets of Canterlot. Twilight looks up to see the top of the buildings, they are all covered in snow. Twilight spots Princess Celestia's castle and heads for it. A quick but steady trot.
A couple of guards are there guarding the entrance. They Immediately notice that it is 'Princess' Twilight Sparkle and opened the doors for her. Twilight walks through a couple of corridors to find herself and Spike at the door to the Princess's Dining room.
"Why hello Twilight, what brings you here? The wildly odd snow?"
"Yes. Do you have any clues on what it might be?"
"Well. There is one thing I think it could possibly be. The Staff of the Frozen Mountains. It has been found. But whoever found it cannot control it, it has gone wild. It is going to freeze all of Equestria at this rate!"
"Oh my. That is terrible."
"Yes, I only know a few ponies that can control and stop it."
"So, what are we going to do about this mess?"
"Well, I will send you and Spike out to find these people. When you find them, tell them I sent you. They'll know where to find the Staff, after all, they're the ones who hid it."
"Okay, so, where can we find these 'people'?"
"They are put back in the garden. You must solve they're little riddle. Just say I sent you, they'll skip all that and they'll know what to do."
"Okay, Goodbye, Princess."
"Goodbye, Twilight."
Twilight and Spike trot out the door and go down a flight of stairs. They are at a hallway with 3 doors to it. They go out the door at the end. They are blasted with cold air as they walk out into the white garden.
"Twilight, she never really said WHERE exactly they are."
"We'll find them. In this white. I don't think it'll be too hard."
"Oookay."
As Twilight said that a couple of black figures pop out of the white garden.
"Ello." Says the one on the right.
"One who enters must answer a riddle." replies the one on the left.
"Yes."
"Pri-" Twilight tried to get out before being interrupted by the one on the left.
"In handsome array; in summer more clothing I wear; when colder it grows I fling off my clothes; and in winter quite naked appear. What am I?"
"Princess Celestia sent me." Twilight replied not answering the riddle.
"About time. I was starting to get cold." The Right one said, shivering.
"Lets go get the rest of the team, come on, you two." The left one proclaimed.
Both of the figures start walking out of the white garden, Twilight and Spike follow as they set out on a what seemed like an eternity. At first Twilight saw a sign that said;
"Beware of Monster."
Twilight thought that this could be a little trick these two odd ponies used to hide that staff. Twilight didn't even know what gender they were. From their voices they seemed like stallions, but Twilight wasn't sure.
"So, what was the answer to the riddle?" said spike. You could tell he was trying hard to figure out what it ment.
The one on the right replied "It's frost."
"Are you kidding me! How could I have not known that! Ugh..."
The group hears some soft talking across the path.
"Do you think I give a flat fu-"
"No, I don't, now, WHOEVER controls it, doesn't know how to use it, easy, we use reverse psychology, this guy seems like an idiot. So, we just need to get Charlie and Delta, and plan Ice Retrieval will go underway.
The guy on the right points to a mountain "What ever Alpha and Bravo are talking about is coming from that mountain, so all we need to do, is go up it, you guys scared of heights?"
"I'm a dragon! I have no fear!" Spike replied in an adventurous voice.
"Well you will be after this, heh heh."
"Um, what are you talking about?" Twilight said in a concerned and scared voice, with a hint of anger.
"Remember that sign of Beware of Monster?"
They start up the mountain, the sudden change in air pressure made twilight's ears pop. They meet up with who is supposedly is Alpha and bravo. They are sitting with scarfs and hoof mittens, there is a fire in-between them.
"Took you long enough."
"Shut it alpha. It takes long to get up the mountain and you know it."
"Delta, what crawled up your as-" Alpha said as he was interrupted by a loud growl.
"GIVE BACK WHAT YOU STOLE!"
"Looks like some-things mad. Maybe we don't even need to do this, looks like Indigo has this covered." Alpha said.
"Who is Indigo? said Twilight. Confused look on her face, but you could tell she was more scared than confused.
"Again, remember Beware of Monster?" Delta said. With a grin on his face.
Twilight gulps and spike is now on her back, holding twilight tightly.
"Nothing to be scared about, just a 20 ton monster wanting to destroy your presence."
All 6 start walking up the rest of the mountain, twilight ans spike looking all around for where this Indigo is. After a while of walking up the mountain. They hear a bit of rumbling. Twilight could feel the goosebumps on spike. Spike, scared out of his mind. starts blabbing out stupid things
"I don't like this, let's go home. I don't even want summer back, hotness is overrated, lets just go home now. Home is good!"
"Spike, stop, it's better to face your fears than coward from them and have them stay."
"Oh, fu-" Alpha tries to say as they see an enormous shadow towering over head."
"I SAID! GIVE IT BACK!!!!"
"I WOULD, if I could learn how to hold this thing. So for now. Shut it."
"NO-ONE TELLS ME WHAT TO DO!"
The gang hears a loud crash and a thump, as well and a shadow moving. The cold suddenly feels worse. The shadow got bigger, spike got more scared, and there it was. The Largest thing Twilight has ever seen. It was like if time stopped. Then went in slow motion. The Monsters arm was first crashing down the mountain breaking large chunks and falling down the mountain, creating a avalanche of snow. Then the head, the beast had bony features with a Ice Helios helmet and crimson glowing eyes. Then a body, what looked like ancient Rome armor. Then time sped back up when the beast took it's arm and threw itself back up the mountain. If must of caught eye of the gang, because at that moment the beast took it's large head and looked right down at them, it looked furious. At that moment. Twilight froze, the beast threw its arm into the gang. and the one besides alpha fell off the mountain.
"HOLY-" Alpha tried to get out as snow filled his face.
"Swords!" Delta ordered the remaining 5.
"Um we don't have swords." Twilight said and looked at spike, he was looking back.
"You have spells, make a sword or use a powerful one, I think we'll need it." Delta replied.
"We lost Bravo! FU-" Alpha said and stopped as the beast contracted its arm.
The beast threw it's arm up once more. Ready to pound the crew once again. Delta threw a sword to Charlie, the only one that has not spoke this entire way up the mountain. The sword glowed Gold and then Charlie threw the sword at the monster. The Sword turned into a spear, and grew bigger, it jabbed into the chest of Indigo.
"YOU FOOL!" Indigo says as it screams.
Then twilight remembered the swordsman spell. The Spell created a magical warrior that destroyed anything. Twilight's eyes started to glow and she chanted the spell.
"Defeat no more, the Swordsman does not fail, oaf dun act te boken!"
A Magical bubble appears, and a purple pony that is translucent appears as the bubble bursts. He looks like Damocles of Rome. He runs at the monster and pulls out two small identical swords. A little bigger than daggers and slanted a bit to the right. He jumps and slices down from its neck to the golden spear in the mid-chest. The monster screams and throws its arms everywhere. This knocks the swordsman down the mountain. They feel coldness overflow as a mysterious figure drops from the top of the mountain and aims the staff in his hands towards the monster, the Staff looks like a ice crystal on the top. and a smaller ice crystal almost but not quite at the bottom, the staff's shaft is a pale ice blue. But looks frosted. The figure falls back as the ice staff shoots a large ice sickle. The sickle hits the spear and lodges it out of the chest of the beast and falls down the mountain. The ice sickles force knocked the beast off the mountain and the Beast fell. When that beast hit the ground. The ground shook.
"YEAH! THAT'S RIGHT! YOU IDIOT! NEVER KILL BRAVO!" Alpha screams at the air from where the monster once was.
"Hey, you!" Delta screams at the figure with the staff.
"Um, nope." The Figure kicks delta in the face and runs down the mountain.
"Get him!"
The now 5 chases after the figure. Delta jumps off the side of the mountain as he spots the figure below, he lands with a roll and tackles the figure. The figure hits delta in the face with the low end of the staff, and shoots the staff up the mountain. This creates an avalanche that makes the team fall off the mountain. Delta quickly gets back up after getting the staff in the face. He kicks the guy down the mountain. He drops the staff and lets it fall. Delta slides with the avalanche and catches the guy, he throws him off the side of the mountain they are on.
"He's dead! Ha ha!" Delta screams to the rest of the crew.
"Did you get the staff?" Alpha screams back.
"It dropped with the guy, it'll break when it hits!"
"Didn't think that one through! Did you?"
"Guess not.
"No means to interrupt, but uh, what happens if the staff breaks?" Twilight said.
"It should put everything back to normal, but you will make a god really mad." Charlie replied.
The crew hits the ground. The snow broke everyone's fall, so everyone was fine. To they're right was ice chunks and a body, it was bravo's. Too they're left they found more ice chunks, on one of them, a staff, broke in two, to the left of that, is the impaled figure, it was gross, he was impaled on the helmet of Indigo. The snow starts to melt, but the ground shakes as this happens. Luckily, nothing crazy happened after that.
Except that they're were plants and trees everywhere.
