The Dawn of Zaneby LoganvllachANDGodmod3ChaptersBlizzard of CanterlotJacobAdventure Ho!ZaneZebra TerritoryPush ForwardTaking out the TrashHooded Pony UnmaskedDeepfreezeCOLTonFinale**BONUS** Lucy and MadaraBlizzard of CanterlotCold temperatures, I was always used to them being born in a harsh storm in canterlot, it was a dreadful night for unicorns, ponies hustling through and through to find shelter, as a Stallion and a Mare prepare for a new child... That night was the night I discovered the Windigos..Evil creatures that feed off of hate, they appear as equines, and I was born to see one face to face, my parents backed off, and I was only a newborn foal, my horn began to glow, it was an odd sensation, like the feeling that someone cares, or a warm animal curled up to you, I charged my horn and the windigo backed off, I shot a blast of magic directly at the windigo's temple, and like that, it was down for the count, it was a rare occasion, and Princess Luna insighted my parents on the occurence, I was a rare type of unicorn, similar to that of Twilight Sparkle, where my magic capacity was very high, and I was able to use advanced spells with little to no concequence, Princess Luna told my parents that in around 4 years, she would be able to mentor me, and teach me how to utilize my magic. I should probably introduce myself, I'm Icy, Icy Wind, I'm a male unicorn, and I was born in canterlot, where our story begins... Icy Wind? Dinners ready!" Bellowed my mother, she was a kind mare with a white mane and baige coat, she enrolled me in Princess Luna's private magic classes. I ran down, to find that there was no dinner at all, instead, my mother and father were on the couch, I sat down with them. Icy, your grades haven't been the greatest, and-" I stopped him to speak, "Dad, I know, listen, I've taken an interest in weather, it's quite intriguing, and Princess Luna says she's fine with it, as long as my studies come first." My father hollared "I don't really care, this is getting out of hand son, and I won't take it, you need to start studying." I tried to interrupt him "But Dad.." "No butts in equestria they're called flanks" said my father. Our story transitions to Glistening Spark, a tinkering unicorn, he hardly uses magic, but in need, he does have a few tricks up his sleeve, he has a sister, named Suzie. Glistening was working on a new invention that would allow him to fly using mechanical wings. "Alright Suzie, it's now or never!" Suzie pulled a long dangling string and the wings flung open, he jumped off of his roof, and soared, it was quite heavy, and he had to use his magic to help them glide. He landed. "Well, it could use some tinkering, but it's a good start! Hehe!" Suzie was already in the house already, normally she'd be talking to me on the headset, and most likely pwning me at Call of Cutie, but today was different. Glistening folded his wings with his magic and went in the house with an annoyed face. "Suziiiee...You missed it!" Suzie replyed with "Whatever." and she continued playing. The usual mailmare showed up to give him his mail, and he grabbed it, it was a cream pie to the face... JacobShow yourself you coward!" shouted Jacob, he was a crystal pegasus, he had a psychosis, his own alter ego haunted him, his alter ego which Jacob had named Zane. The average day stood upon Zane messing with Jacob's head, but this day was different, for earlier this day, Zane had obtained its own body, it had disappeared and had drove Jacob crazy. Our story transitions to the Everfree Forest, where a lone Zebra treks through the morning dew on a cold day, he approaches the path to ponyville, carrying a saddl bag with him. A large shatter was heard coming from ponyville, where a train had crashed, the conductor called the police and they came as quickly as possible, many ponies were rushed to the emergency room, as the zebra sat and watched from afar. Jacob woke up in the emergency room, his hooves cold, and head wrapped in bandages, he shook his body parts slowly to make sure he hadnt broken anything, to notice that one of his wings..was wiped clean off his back..He screamed in shock, as the nurse came down. "Whats wrong?!" She asked, Doctors ran up to the room. "No, Not now, Don't snap Jacob...Don't.." He thought to himself, as his eye began to twitch. "My Wing! It's gone! AHAHAHAHAHAH!" He laughed psychotically, as he felt a sharp pain, as if he had been jabbed by a needle, as he slowly fell asleep... Other hospital ponies woke up moving frantically. A peach pony and grey pony walked by the hospital as the peach one said "Whats goin' on daddy?" the grey one replied with "How would I know?" and the peach one shrugged. Jacob thought comatose "What is my family thinking? This must be the talk of equestria..I wonder if they know if I made it to canterlot to meet my partner." Our story transitions back to Icy Wind in canterlot waiting for a train to arrive. A royal guard arrives "I've just recieved word that there was a train crash, were going to need to call off the study for now." As he began to walk away another royal guard came and whispered something in his ear. The first guard nodded and corrected his statement "I've just recieved word that Princess Luna would like you to head to ponyville, we will be sent with you for the trip, as the rail system is currently closed, you should go tell your family. I nodded and headed to my family, as they had a look of disappointment "Icy, dear, weve heard.." Mom I'm so sorry..I had no idea." My dad pat my back, as he looked at me and spoke "Son, there comes a time in every colts life when they must grow up and leave the nest, youll have lots of adventures I'm sure, just be sure to stay in contact with us, alright?" I nodded as they put my saddle bags on me and I ran out the door, the guards and I exited the gate and began to make way to ponyville, and our story begins to unfold. "Interesting..The blue unicorn is heading to ponyville? This should be fun.." as the Zebra disappeared into the night... Adventure Ho!The Lunar guards walked with me down the mountain slowly, we approached a dark cave, the guards stuttered unsure if we should enter it, as the main path was blocked by a rockslide, I nodded and my horn began to glow and illuminate a path. We heard a snort, as one guard looked at the other and snarled, then, two large round lights open, until we realised, those werent lights, they were eyes.. Guys, nows a good time to..run!" we heard slithering as I prayed "Please don't be snakes..I haaate snakes!" as the guards pulled out their spears, My horn began to glow as I made a forcefield that knocked the slithering serpents against the cave walls, as bats flew around, the guards and I ran frantically, the dragon chasing us, the snakes approaching us again, another roar happened, as I light began to glow behind us, we ran as fast as we could, but it wasnt long before the dragon blew a large flame upon us, as one of the guards tackled me and grabbed the other. We managed to survive mildly singed as we hid in the corner, the dragon slowly approaching us, it smelled us, and licked us, then left, I wiped my horn with a sigh of relief, as the dragon looked back, Celestia Dangit, as we dashed under the dragons legs, it tried to swipe us with its tail, and the guards dodged it, I however jumped on the tail and held on, I climbed up the tail as it tried to knock me off, I slowly crawled up as it charged its fire. I whispered to myself "Cmon...Cmon..." As it breathed its fire, I jumped off swiftly, causing it to burn itself severely. With the time I bought us, we ran to the nearest tunnel, as we saw the tunnel lead underwater. Oh no, we gotta turn back guys! c-cmon hehe!" a guard replied "Back where? To the dragon?" No! it was a fork in the road! Cmon guys!" I began sweating as a guard replied "He's right, the dragon is back there, we can't risk it, whats wrong? afraid of a little water?" he smirked and I sighed "N-No.." "Let's go then" replied the guard, and we began swimming, we heard stomping behind us, and that propelled me to swim faster, I grew low on oxygen, and just as we saw a light, I passed out, one of the guards grabbed me and they used their wings to get out faster. They escaped the cave in a field like area with gold trees studded with jewels for miles, one of the guards took off their helmet as they spoke "Shimmerwood acres, my grandmother lives a ways from here, we can get Luna's student there and she can help him. The other guard nodded as they flew over the trees.. Back in the hospital Jacob wakes up and looks to his right to see Glistening Spark there, "The kind old Doc over there gave me a call, told me about your wing." He flapped his wings "I can make you a mechanical one, it might be hard to get used to though." Jacob nodded and Glistening helped him up. They checked out as a doctor whispered to one of the nurses "Those actions earlier were quite..strange..are you sure we should be letting him out yet?" the nurse nodded "It'll be fine, Glistening's a good kid, I know he'll tell us if somethings wrong. When they got home Suzie was on the couch playing video games as usual "I wonder where Icy Wind's been lately, I havent heard a thing from him, say Glistening, whos your frie-e-end..?" Suzie instantly fell in love. "Can I get you anything? Water? Ice? Bacon? What happened to your wing? Whats your name? Are you single?" Jacob shook his head "Woahwoahwoah! Slow down." Glistening Spark replied "Sorry, heheh, my sister can be a handfull." Suzie snarked "Hmph, says the pony who can't go to the market to get hay, yet still has time for his stupid inventions.." "They aren't stupid, there productive!" replied Glistening "Productive to who?" "GUYS STOP, I CANT TAKE IT!" Hollared Jacob "Fine, let's get started on that invention. ZaneThey answered the door, and there the zebra stood, Glistening and Suzie just stared Glistening said "Can we..help you?" he raised a brow. Jacob had a blank stare "...Zane." his stare turned to an angered smile as he tackled Zane. Zane spoke softly, dodging as he poofed away every attempt. "Awww, what happened to your wing?" spoke Zane "None of your buisness!" snarled Jacob "Hmhmhm..You really are pitiful.." He jabbed into Jacob's torso, as Jacob screamed "Don't you know? I enjoy this..and your just a figment of my imagination!" Zane replied sarcastically "Oh your just a figment of my imaginati-You talk to much!" he jabbed it in further as Jacob laughed maniacally. Suzie frightened screamed "Stop!" and tackled Zane, "Why you.." Zane prepared to take Suzie's life as Glistening intervened with a long staff like tool, and swung at Zane with all his might, Zane went flying back and disappeared into a pool of boiling acid... Jacob sighed "He's not gone..He'll just come back to torment me again.." Suzie was in tears, Glistening went to comfort her, and put Suzie in bed. Glistening angered said "What was that? Whats going on?" "That's Zane..My alter ego.." Replied Jacob in a very serious manner... Later that day.. Suzie and Jacob played video games..well..more so Jacob, Suzie was busy stalking his every move, Jacob got a headshot "Kiss the dust! Eyeheheh!" Suzie replied with "Okay!" "What?" said Jacob puzzled, "Nothing!" blushed Suzie. Glistening was making bacon and hay, as that was literally all they had "You lovebirds having fun?" snarked a sarcastic Glistening Spark. "MUFFINS!" Was heard from outside as a loud pound was heard. Derpy Hooves, a pegasus pony, the mailmare, had Icy Wind mounted atop her along with his guards flying along side the mare, she loved muffins. Derpy had a bit of a crash landing. They found derpy on the other side of the hill that would lead to Ponyville, but they had some cave trauma, so they werent doing that again, so Derpy offered to give Icy a ride over the mountain, as the guards were carrying equipment and couldnt do so themselves. Princess Cadence and Prince Shining Armor of the Crystal Empire had heard about the train crash and were in town to see the situation. They were being interviewed, when all of the sudden I saw a pony sitting atop the Ponyville docks..watching me...he was a hooded pony, a stallion from what I could make out. I attempted to tell the guards about it, when all of the sudden the guards pointed out Jacob, that he was my partner. But wait boys! ya can't just leave me! cmon! were a team, don't throw me with this guy!" I whined "Sure we can! we just did! our job was to get you to Ponyville, and we did!" They replied chuckling, and flew off to canterlot. I grumbled and went up to Jacob, as he bucked me with his back hooves. "Hey! what was that for?" I said angrily, he replied with "Oh, I just thought you needed a little help..thats all." "Hows that helpful!?" I asked, "Trust me." he replied. I grumbled as he made no sence, I followed him to Glistening's House, where along the way we were stopped by a rainbow maned pony on a cloud, "Rainbow Da-" I stopped her "Not Interested." we continued walking and we arrived at Glistenings house, where my parents were. "Mom? Dad? Why are you he-" I was stopped by Jacob "It's not really them, Zane, I'm tired of this!" They poofed away as Zane locked the doors and appeared infront of me, he appeared to be charging an attack, and just as he finished it, COLTon came in and bit off Zane's ear, Zane disappeared. COLTon walked up to me "Mas...ter...Master Icy Wind..." as he broke the locks "Well, looks like we found the unicorn who I built the robot for!" chuckled Glistening Spark. "And you are?" I asked "Glistening Spark, Professional Tinkerer at your service! Can't ya see? My cutie mark is a wrench and screws!" Glistening proudly said, Suzie sarcastically corrected him "Yeah, your about as professional as a..a..Eh I got nothing." Glistening Chuckled "Out of insults already Suzie? it was just getting fun! Heheh!" Suzie Grumbled. "..This..was odd..Well, speaking of my parents, that reminds me!" I ran outside and asked a purple pony for directions "You! Purple Unicorn! Do you happen to have directions to the nearest post office?" I asked "I'm Twilight, and it's right over there!" She pointed pleasantly westward. Zebra TerritoryI began to write a letter to my parents, when all of the sudden a loud BOOM is sounded, I run out the post office to see a large rippling portal, Jacob, Glistening and Suzie were all infront of it, I ran up to them, "What the hay happened?!" to which Suzie replied "I..don't know." "Only one way to find out then." he proceeded to prepare to jump in, as a hoof caught him, Suzie was in tears "Glistening! Wait! What if you get hurt! Whatd I d-" He stopped her "Suzie, calm down, if I don't come back, tell mom and dad, they'll figure something out." She cried as he jumped into the portal, I glanced at Jacob, he nodded and jumped in after. Suzie looked at me "W-Who are you?" to which I replied "I'm Icy Wind, and your Suzie, you know me." She looked at me and her eyes sparkled "I-Icy? How didn't I notice the voice? Oh my Celestia!" I nodded "But theres no time for this, I best go after them, take care of yourself Suzie." And I jumped into the portal as it was closing. On the other side was a very bright world, tinted with a green cyan atmospheric fog, Zebra's were everywhere, it was a village with hotsprings. "Where are we?" asked Glistening Spark "Stripelvania, it's where zebras come from." answered Jacob "Wait, they come from a different world?" asked a clueless Glistening Spark, He was immediately answered by Jacob "It's not another world, it's another continent, and the portal brought us here, the fog is coming from all the alchemy going on..." We walked along the town, the zebras looked at us anxiously "Say, how do you know all this?" I asked, Jacob replied with "You ask alot of questions." Glistening snarked back with "Hey! were just curious!" I agreed "Yeah! cmon dude!" Jacob annoyed snapped back "I read it! Don't you know about books?" he rolled his eyes... On a hill, watches Zane "Heheheh...The boys are finally in my trap..just a little longer, I need to lure them to the destination.." Later along the trail we find an old crippled zebra on a fork in the path, as the fog dies off, we run up to him and try to help him and ask whats wrong frantically, he spoke in an old weak voice "..H-H...Him..He..." He pointed at Jacob and rain frantically with his remaining energy "W-Wait!" said Glistening, we ran after him as on a mountain Zane chuckles evilly "Perfect..It's going along perfectly..Ahahahah!" we lost him along the trail eventually, and came to a forest, we walked in, and my teeth were clacking, I heard hissing as I yelped "AH! WHY SNAKES! WHY SNAKES!!!!????" Jacob replied with "Ah, yes, snakes are much more prominent in Stripelvania, had you mentioned your phobia, we couldve taken the other path to the volcano which most likely caused this...did I forget to mention that?" Glistening Spark grumbled "YEAH YOU DID FORGET TO MENTION THAT WERE GOIN' TO A VOLCANO YA BIG IDIOT! I'M AFRAID OF MOUNTAIN CLIMBING!" to which Jacob replied with "Arguing won't get you anywhere." meanwhile snakes were slithering all over me, one slithered onto my horn, to which I snapped and launched it against a tree with my magic, which was a bad idea, because that shook a tree full of snakes, that fell all over me "OH COME ON! NONONO! STOP! PLEASE!" I screamed "Ugh" grumbled Glistening as his horn began to glow, he picked up all the snakes off of me and put them back in the tree, we exited the forest and appeared in a port, "Hey! a port! can I just go home?!" I said "Home? when were about to find out why this happened?" replied Jacob, Glistening Grumbled and said "Why'd it have to be rain?" I happily trotted through the rain and we found a tattered home with a sattelite, we head inside, where we find an old kooky couple "I thought you should die, so I killed ya' EYEHEHEH!" laughed the stallion at a zebra skeleton, the mare replied with "Silver Stripe, we got visitors!" the stallion replied with "EYEHEHEHEH! Alright! Who're you sonny?" cackled the stallion as he put a hoof around Jacob, Jacob had an unamused look on his face, the mare put her arm around me and said "And who's this cute little filly?" to which I angrily replied "Filly!? I'm a grown stallion!" she backed off and looked at me with a look of disdain "Well, weve been in a whole lotta problems lately, with this storm that literally just occured, we aint got no sattelite power!" suddenly, I had an idea. "I got it!" I said, as my horn glowed I looked up at the storm cloud, and caused a flash of lightning to hit the sattelite. The mare came up to me and said "I-I can't help yall enough for yer' troubles, here, take this!" as the lights finally came on she handed me a map. Jacob replied "It's dangerous to go alone! take this!" I slapped him and he slapped me back harder "Ow!" I yelped as we looked at the map, it looked as a normal map except for one detail, the map showed a path, a shortcut to the volcano... Push ForwardSuzie sat at home worried, ponyville was seemingly normal, and wasnt very affected by the incident, a peach mare and grey stallion walked by "Hey daddy, I wonder what's outside of Equestria.." said the curious peach mare, the grey stallion replied with "I dunno Lucy, Dragon territory?" She shrugged and they walked along. Meanwhile Suzie was worrying her flank off, she began pacing, when she finally told herself that she was going to just forget about it and play some video games, and she did so. Meanwhile, our heroes find the shortcut, and walk down it, it leads underground, and back up into a canyon, they finally make their way to the canyon, which had water along it, appropriately, Zane rose out of the water and looked at us floating like a puppet. He began to speak "You boys..I've got you this far, however, it's time to turn back, this isn't my plan.." Jacob replied with "What plan?!" Zane replied annoyed "Why are you so stupid? You created me, you clearly arent that bright, so it's obviously something generically malicious..oh wait...never mind I'm my own thing now.." he knocked me aside as Glistening and Jacob ran infront of me to defend me. "Why'd you do that to him?!" hollared Glistening, Jacob replied "Don't reason with it, it's all my evil thoughts." My horn was glowing as the wind intensified "R-Run." I spoke. A twister started to occur as I got up and ran into the hole behind us, Zane looked around frantically as he was swept up by the twister. "Nice goin' Icy" said Glistening "Hehe, Thanks.." I replied, Jacob disappointed corrected us "You fools.." "Hm?" we replied, He continued "We couldve imprisoned him inside me, we didn't need your help, you just made it more difficult now!" We continued arguing as I saw the hooded stallion again, I pointed at him, "THERE!" I shouted, he disappeared just before they could look "Your crazy! Thats just a cliff!" said Glistening, Jacob grumbled at Glistenings comment and Glistening embaressed fake laughed "Hehe.." I suddenly had an idea "Wait, we don't need to swim, just prepare to be cold.." I closed my eyes and focused my magic, as the water froze over, ice flowed down from the waterfalls and along the valley river as I opened my eyes, "Well, let's go!" I trotted across the ice happily, as they followed astonished. On the other side we found a swamp as I was nearly out of magic and couldn't freeze the swamp water, I groaned "Snakes AND water?! COME..ON!" Jacob rolled his eyes and said "Oh please, you went through the literal snake forest, this is nothing" "But it has water t-" I was interrupted by a letter coming down from the sky, it hit my head and I opened it with my magic and read it... Taking out the TrashThe letter read... Dear Icy Wind...Equestria doesn't have a clue where you went, there's chaos going on, I must hope you are okay. From...Princess Luna. "Princess Luna sent you a letter!?" shouted a surprised Glistening Spark, "Well duh, he's her student." said Jacob. "Oh, yeah, I mightva forgot to mention that, heheh" I said "Either way, there's no time to talk about it, she's worried, so we better get this over with." I corrected, "Right." Said the others. We continued to trek the swamp, snakes all over me, swimming, yet oddly, I didn't care. That is until an alligator popped out. "A-Alligator!" said a frightened Glistening. "Oh please." said Jacob as he lazily wrestled the alligator. "Woah that was sooo cool!" I cheered, "Don't sweat it." said Jacob. Along the walk we kept talking about him wrestling the alligator until we finally arrived at the volcano... "Well, this is it.." said Jacob, "Yeah, I guess it is." I added, "M-m-m-mountain!!" said glistening as he curled up in a ball. All of the sudden clones of us showed up from the volcano, we fought them, using our magic, bucking them, punching them, whatever possible, the fight was valiant when all of the sudden...CRASH...Zane showed up infront of us furious, he grew a horn and it began to glow black..his mouth steaming, eyes pulsing.."I'm tired of you!" he said, and we were warped to a single platform in the middle of the volcano, which caused the volcano opening to have a donut shape, he grew bat wings, and flew up, my horn began to glow, as did glistenings as we looked at eachother, the clones came onto the platform too, how would we know if we were fighting our team mates? we had to go back to back, and we did, fighting them as they came toward us, Zane causing the volcano to begin to erupt...we kicked off the rest of the clones, to which Zane landed and began laughing...."Pitiful..you believe you can match me..?" to which Jacob flew up, grabbed zane, and spoke "You..you are me..If I get rid of me..I get rid of you.." and like that, Jacob dove headfirst into the lava..and just like that, Zane...discintigrated.. Hooded Pony UnmaskedWe gasped as the moment went solemn and silent, as if the world itself had just witnessed the birth of a star... "H-He's.." stumbled Glistening Spark My horn began to glow as Glistening looked up at me, a single snowflake fell, followd by several others soon after, soon, I had created a snowfall, "The skies, they're crying for the loss of not only a friend, but a hero..." I spoke softly. "But he can't be gone! He just can't!" sobbed Glistening, "I know, it's hard..when a friend dies.." I spoke as the snow began to intensify, "We've taken care of Zane, and now we can be sure that he's the one that caused this.." I said, "H-*sniff* How can you be sure?" asked Glistening as a rippling portal showed up in the center of the platform "Thats why, he was throwing in helpless ponies, but for what cause? Because he's only evil, he's entirely constructed of Jacob's evil, and thats why Jacob was so good." I replied, "Now, we best head through this portal, before it closes." I added, as Glistening nodded and we headed through the portal... When we reached the other side we were in a black room, seeminly empty other than the slight smell of lingering pony flesh, it was dark and quiet, we walked around for a bit and began hearing machines pumping we walked toward the sound and it wasn't long before we heard a sudden **SHING** And a thump behind us, we turned around frightened, to see nothing but the shine of the door behind us, steaming different colors, shimmering off of metal.. As we began to back away two pegasus ponies came behind us and held us in place, "Let us go!" shouted Glistening Spark "Yeah, whats the big idea? What is this place? Who are you?" I added, Two yellow eyes opened infront of us as we heard a voice... "Fret not boys, I only want to ask you questions..I am Zeere, the pony who currently runs this place, now I don't want to answer your questions yet, so why not answer myne?" he spoke solemnly.."First, why are you here? And how did you get here?" he asked, "We came here through a portal" I said, "Really? Hmm...Who are you?" he asked hastily, "We're-" I was interrupted by Glistening "Glistening Spark, professional tinkerer and Icy Wind, Princess Luna's student!" He shouted while struggling, the pegasus holding him got a better grip before Zeere glared at them and they dropped us, "This is the Rainbow Factory, in Cloudsdale...However, I can't allow you into the main corrido-" before he could finish I immediately ran out the door behind us, and what I saw scarred me for eternity, Pegasus ponies being torn apart and put into machines that blended up a rainbow extract (This'll definitely give me a grimdark rating XD) I gasped as Zeere grabbed me and covered my mouth followed by putting a knife next to my neck, in the light from the reflection of his knife I could see...He was the hooded pony... DeepfreezeI struggled as he pulled me up with his wings, Glistening ran into the room and charged his horn but was retained by two pegasus ponies, we screamed frantically when all of the sudden, I heard a drilling in the wall, as COLTon burst in with his mechanical wings and tackled Zeere then attacking the Pegasai detaining Glistening. "ALRIGHT ROBOT!" I cheered, "COLTon." Corrected Glistening, "Why you..." growled Zeere as he struggled to get back up, he took off his hood, to reveal he had a horn, "Y-Your a" I stumbled "Alicorn.." said Zeere, we were silent while he charged his horn, a wall burst open as the wind intensified through it, Princess Luna and Princess Celestia came through the gaping hole in the wall of the factory, as they stood next to us, behind them came none other than Jacob.. "It can't be!" we gasped, he struggled "I thought you could use a little help..." he said as he smirked, "What about Zane?" I asked, "He's contained inside me, that lava isnt normal lava, it pulls you down, like quicksand, I went under, where he was weak, contained him, and used my mechanical wing to paddle out." he explained "Trust me.." he added. With COLTon, the Princesses, and Jacob behind us who could stop us? So we thought..He was an alicorn, which gives him extreme power, how could he have gotten this state? Was he born with it? Who knows? He charged his horn as ponies behind him and in the factory began to act zombie like, their eyes turning a glowing pure green. With a full powered army standing with him, it was a stalemate, there was silence for a second before Princess Luna put out her wing to comfort me, "Nows not the time to be scared, now's the time to use your magic lessons to your advantage..." She said, "Right." I replied and nodded. The moment was distilled, it seemed oddly farmiliar...That's when it hit me, all of the sudden I had a flashback of the Windigo's, my ears perked and I said "I got it!" all of the sudden my horn began to glow, the wind intensified.... Ice and Hail began to fall, storming in through the hole, I began to tear up the roof, the factory began to collapse, His horn began to glow as he flew up and shot beams at all of us, one hit Glistening in the mechanical wings, tearing through to his flank, leaving his back leg injured, he screamed in pain as Princess Luna looked at Princess Celestia with a questioning look, as Princess Celestia nodded, Princess Luna looked at me with a look of dismay "I trust in you, that it'll be alright.." she asked "You can count on me princess!" I replied, as Luna used her magic to hoist Glistening onto her back and she flew away to a Cloudsdale Hospital. Cloudsdale ponies were panicking, as they didn't cause this storm, and theories of the Windigo's return began spreading because of the Non-Cloudsdalian made storm, Princess Celestia came next to me and her horn began to glow, she looked at Jacob and said "Zane." Jacob frightened replied with "W-What?!" Princess Celestia looked at him with a serious manner "NOW!" and Jacob quickly nodded as his eyes illuminated with immense power, my horn glowed brighter and I let off a magic wave, sending Zeere and his army flying into the wall, he quickly got up as COLTon drilled into him, Jacob flew toward Zeere, Princess Celestia powering him up with her magic as He fired off a beam delivering the finishing blow, as light flew around Zeere, it was a beautiful sight, it began to flash in little twinkles of purple navy blue and pink, before turning to his coat color of Dark Baige, and his mane color of Grey, it exploded jetting down in a net formation to Zeere's body pulling it up then covering it taking it's shape until finally shrinking into nothing with the body gone. "The death of an Alicorn.." I said, Jacob struggling, and panting. Princess Celestia finally said "That's enough Jacob." as Jacob fell powerless, Princess Celestia used her magic to pick him up, as I couldn't take the magic anymore, and I put the whole factory into a deepfreeze... COLTonA dead robot sat in the corner, Jacob observed it, "Oh, thats COLTon, a robot I built for somepony in canterlot, but they never came and picked it up "Huh, cool." replied Jacob "Either way, let's get started on that wing, Jacob nodded. Back in shimmerwood acres, the zebra approaches the two guards in a phantom forme, "So..you escaped my dragon..the unicorn wont live..not unless you get him to safety in hmm..let's see...3 hours? hmmhmm..good luck.." a guard swiped at him as he turned to his zebra forme, and ran off... Back in the workshop... "Now, this'll only hurt a little bit," said Glistening, as he strapped a belt around Jacob, and an opening for the wing snapped straight into his wing nub, Jacob laughed from the pain with a psychotic smile, he slapped himself and nodded. Glistening spoke "You alright Buddy? You seem a bit..loopy." "I-I'm fine" replied Jacob, "Well then, let's get started" replied Glistening. They went onto the roof. "You ready Suzie?" Suzie smiled and nodded as she pulled the string to unfold the mechanical wing. Glistening Spark observed closely, "You ready? try moving your nub to flap the wing!" Jacob did so and flew around the house, above trees and back. Glistening proudly clapped "Bravo! Congrats! that'll be 50 bits!" there was silence.. "Just kidding bud, welp, I guess your stayin' with us!" Suzie replied with "Really!? Awesome!" they went inside as a slow knock, happened on the door... Back in shimmerwood acres, they approach the guard's grandmother's home, as they are kindly let in, the grandmother heals Icy Wind, as he wakes up. "W-Where am I?" the old mare loves reptiles, and the home was littered with them. "S-Snakes? AHH!" I shook frantically as the old mare calmed me down "It's fine dearie, they don't bite, they are defanged." "O-Oh..heheh" I sighed thankfully "Well Sir Wind-" I interrupted him "Hey, that has a nice ring to it, Sir Wind, keep callin' me that! Hehe!" he grumbled and we left, as we walked out the door, I used my magic to put a snake that hissed at me in the trash. FinaleI opened my eyes to see myself in a galaxy like area, I looked around before feeling something on my back, it was Princess Luna's wing, I looked up at her freaking out, "Wha-What happened!? Jacob, Glistening, Princess Celestia? What happened to them?!" Luna replied with " Glistening is fine, I've gotten the others thawed out, it really wasn't your fault..but I must say, I'm proud of you.." "Am I dead?" I asked, "Hmhmhm, No Icy Wind, your ascended, You've reached a higher level now." She answered, "What kind of level?" I asked, "You'll see.." she answered. I began to glow, as my cutie mark began to glow, which was a snowflake, my destiny was made clear, I ended up in Ponyville during the night, and noticed a strange sensation, I had wings, it was for real, I was an alicorn, what did I do to earn this? I don't really know, I'm guessing it had something to do with the saving of something, or somewhat? Solving a problem, proving myself? Who knows? Either way, I'm stating this so that the readers don't complain, if you don't like me becoming an alicorn, don't count this as canon, maybe its in another dimension, either way, I had this concept a long time ago, and I'm finally rebirthing it. Jacob, Suzie, and Glistening looked at me and noticed it as well, Luna watched me proudly as Celestia landed next to her, Celestia Finally spoke "You will no longer be ordinary old Icy Wind, you will now be known as Prince Icy Wind, I expect you to help Cloudsdale with the weather from now on." Ponyville cheered.. And from there, the Rainbow Factory was changed into my castle, where we found a more natural way to make rainbows, using water and food coloring. I finally sat down in my throne, to see my mother and father infront of me, my father walked up to me and said "I'm really proud of you son...but.." he said, "But what?" I asked, "Make sure your studies come first.." He answered, I chuckled, and that was our tale, The tale of me, Icy Wind, and my most unlikely of friends, Jacob and Suzie got married, and Glistening got a job as an ACTUAL professional tinkerer, it was a sweet tale, filled with adventure, drama, comedy, and most of all, friendship... THE END. "Hey, Daddy, this can't be the end!" Said the Baige pony "Cmon' Lucy..." Replied the Grey pony **Lucy is dragged offscreen by her father** **BONUS** Lucy and Madara**BONUS** Lucy and Madara A baige pony walks down the stairs in her home and into the living room to play Call of Cutie, she is the top of the leaderboard in all of equestria, despite that not being her cutie mark, you'd think that ponies with the natural talent of this would do better, but they don't, she has a sister named Innati, and a father named Madara, a husband named Copper, and two children, Lily and Sarutobi, she is a promenent fourth wall breaker, and shows up a few times in the story, can you find them? If so comment which chapters they are on, excluding this one of course. Lucy plays call of cutie and notices the doorbell ring, Copper is home. "Hey honey!" says Lucy as she opens the door, the two hug and Lily and Sarutobi run up to see their father, when all of the sudden he sinks through the ground and comes out the roof, then follows it up with "Meth man.." "I'm not a man" replies an annoyed Lucy "Pony meth is sooo great.." says Sarutobi as he starts trippin' balls soon after. Madara walks out to see this all happening "AAand thats my queue to leave.." he says, as he turns around and goes back into his room. "Pitiful." says a sarcastic Lily, "Indeed" agrees Lucy. "That's my line!" shouts Madara from his room, "Sorry! hehe" answers Lucy. **Copper comes up the screen licking it rubbing his face against it** The end...
Blizzard of CanterlotCold temperatures, I was always used to them being born in a harsh storm in canterlot, it was a dreadful night for unicorns, ponies hustling through and through to find shelter, as a Stallion and a Mare prepare for a new child... That night was the night I discovered the Windigos..Evil creatures that feed off of hate, they appear as equines, and I was born to see one face to face, my parents backed off, and I was only a newborn foal, my horn began to glow, it was an odd sensation, like the feeling that someone cares, or a warm animal curled up to you, I charged my horn and the windigo backed off, I shot a blast of magic directly at the windigo's temple, and like that, it was down for the count, it was a rare occasion, and Princess Luna insighted my parents on the occurence, I was a rare type of unicorn, similar to that of Twilight Sparkle, where my magic capacity was very high, and I was able to use advanced spells with little to no concequence, Princess Luna told my parents that in around 4 years, she would be able to mentor me, and teach me how to utilize my magic. I should probably introduce myself, I'm Icy, Icy Wind, I'm a male unicorn, and I was born in canterlot, where our story begins... Icy Wind? Dinners ready!" Bellowed my mother, she was a kind mare with a white mane and baige coat, she enrolled me in Princess Luna's private magic classes. I ran down, to find that there was no dinner at all, instead, my mother and father were on the couch, I sat down with them. Icy, your grades haven't been the greatest, and-" I stopped him to speak, "Dad, I know, listen, I've taken an interest in weather, it's quite intriguing, and Princess Luna says she's fine with it, as long as my studies come first." My father hollared "I don't really care, this is getting out of hand son, and I won't take it, you need to start studying." I tried to interrupt him "But Dad.." "No butts in equestria they're called flanks" said my father. Our story transitions to Glistening Spark, a tinkering unicorn, he hardly uses magic, but in need, he does have a few tricks up his sleeve, he has a sister, named Suzie. Glistening was working on a new invention that would allow him to fly using mechanical wings. "Alright Suzie, it's now or never!" Suzie pulled a long dangling string and the wings flung open, he jumped off of his roof, and soared, it was quite heavy, and he had to use his magic to help them glide. He landed. "Well, it could use some tinkering, but it's a good start! Hehe!" Suzie was already in the house already, normally she'd be talking to me on the headset, and most likely pwning me at Call of Cutie, but today was different. Glistening folded his wings with his magic and went in the house with an annoyed face. "Suziiiee...You missed it!" Suzie replyed with "Whatever." and she continued playing. The usual mailmare showed up to give him his mail, and he grabbed it, it was a cream pie to the face...
JacobShow yourself you coward!" shouted Jacob, he was a crystal pegasus, he had a psychosis, his own alter ego haunted him, his alter ego which Jacob had named Zane. The average day stood upon Zane messing with Jacob's head, but this day was different, for earlier this day, Zane had obtained its own body, it had disappeared and had drove Jacob crazy. Our story transitions to the Everfree Forest, where a lone Zebra treks through the morning dew on a cold day, he approaches the path to ponyville, carrying a saddl bag with him. A large shatter was heard coming from ponyville, where a train had crashed, the conductor called the police and they came as quickly as possible, many ponies were rushed to the emergency room, as the zebra sat and watched from afar. Jacob woke up in the emergency room, his hooves cold, and head wrapped in bandages, he shook his body parts slowly to make sure he hadnt broken anything, to notice that one of his wings..was wiped clean off his back..He screamed in shock, as the nurse came down. "Whats wrong?!" She asked, Doctors ran up to the room. "No, Not now, Don't snap Jacob...Don't.." He thought to himself, as his eye began to twitch. "My Wing! It's gone! AHAHAHAHAHAH!" He laughed psychotically, as he felt a sharp pain, as if he had been jabbed by a needle, as he slowly fell asleep... Other hospital ponies woke up moving frantically. A peach pony and grey pony walked by the hospital as the peach one said "Whats goin' on daddy?" the grey one replied with "How would I know?" and the peach one shrugged. Jacob thought comatose "What is my family thinking? This must be the talk of equestria..I wonder if they know if I made it to canterlot to meet my partner." Our story transitions back to Icy Wind in canterlot waiting for a train to arrive. A royal guard arrives "I've just recieved word that there was a train crash, were going to need to call off the study for now." As he began to walk away another royal guard came and whispered something in his ear. The first guard nodded and corrected his statement "I've just recieved word that Princess Luna would like you to head to ponyville, we will be sent with you for the trip, as the rail system is currently closed, you should go tell your family. I nodded and headed to my family, as they had a look of disappointment "Icy, dear, weve heard.." Mom I'm so sorry..I had no idea." My dad pat my back, as he looked at me and spoke "Son, there comes a time in every colts life when they must grow up and leave the nest, youll have lots of adventures I'm sure, just be sure to stay in contact with us, alright?" I nodded as they put my saddle bags on me and I ran out the door, the guards and I exited the gate and began to make way to ponyville, and our story begins to unfold. "Interesting..The blue unicorn is heading to ponyville? This should be fun.." as the Zebra disappeared into the night...
Adventure Ho!The Lunar guards walked with me down the mountain slowly, we approached a dark cave, the guards stuttered unsure if we should enter it, as the main path was blocked by a rockslide, I nodded and my horn began to glow and illuminate a path. We heard a snort, as one guard looked at the other and snarled, then, two large round lights open, until we realised, those werent lights, they were eyes.. Guys, nows a good time to..run!" we heard slithering as I prayed "Please don't be snakes..I haaate snakes!" as the guards pulled out their spears, My horn began to glow as I made a forcefield that knocked the slithering serpents against the cave walls, as bats flew around, the guards and I ran frantically, the dragon chasing us, the snakes approaching us again, another roar happened, as I light began to glow behind us, we ran as fast as we could, but it wasnt long before the dragon blew a large flame upon us, as one of the guards tackled me and grabbed the other. We managed to survive mildly singed as we hid in the corner, the dragon slowly approaching us, it smelled us, and licked us, then left, I wiped my horn with a sigh of relief, as the dragon looked back, Celestia Dangit, as we dashed under the dragons legs, it tried to swipe us with its tail, and the guards dodged it, I however jumped on the tail and held on, I climbed up the tail as it tried to knock me off, I slowly crawled up as it charged its fire. I whispered to myself "Cmon...Cmon..." As it breathed its fire, I jumped off swiftly, causing it to burn itself severely. With the time I bought us, we ran to the nearest tunnel, as we saw the tunnel lead underwater. Oh no, we gotta turn back guys! c-cmon hehe!" a guard replied "Back where? To the dragon?" No! it was a fork in the road! Cmon guys!" I began sweating as a guard replied "He's right, the dragon is back there, we can't risk it, whats wrong? afraid of a little water?" he smirked and I sighed "N-No.." "Let's go then" replied the guard, and we began swimming, we heard stomping behind us, and that propelled me to swim faster, I grew low on oxygen, and just as we saw a light, I passed out, one of the guards grabbed me and they used their wings to get out faster. They escaped the cave in a field like area with gold trees studded with jewels for miles, one of the guards took off their helmet as they spoke "Shimmerwood acres, my grandmother lives a ways from here, we can get Luna's student there and she can help him. The other guard nodded as they flew over the trees.. Back in the hospital Jacob wakes up and looks to his right to see Glistening Spark there, "The kind old Doc over there gave me a call, told me about your wing." He flapped his wings "I can make you a mechanical one, it might be hard to get used to though." Jacob nodded and Glistening helped him up. They checked out as a doctor whispered to one of the nurses "Those actions earlier were quite..strange..are you sure we should be letting him out yet?" the nurse nodded "It'll be fine, Glistening's a good kid, I know he'll tell us if somethings wrong. When they got home Suzie was on the couch playing video games as usual "I wonder where Icy Wind's been lately, I havent heard a thing from him, say Glistening, whos your frie-e-end..?" Suzie instantly fell in love. "Can I get you anything? Water? Ice? Bacon? What happened to your wing? Whats your name? Are you single?" Jacob shook his head "Woahwoahwoah! Slow down." Glistening Spark replied "Sorry, heheh, my sister can be a handfull." Suzie snarked "Hmph, says the pony who can't go to the market to get hay, yet still has time for his stupid inventions.." "They aren't stupid, there productive!" replied Glistening "Productive to who?" "GUYS STOP, I CANT TAKE IT!" Hollared Jacob "Fine, let's get started on that invention.
ZaneThey answered the door, and there the zebra stood, Glistening and Suzie just stared Glistening said "Can we..help you?" he raised a brow. Jacob had a blank stare "...Zane." his stare turned to an angered smile as he tackled Zane. Zane spoke softly, dodging as he poofed away every attempt. "Awww, what happened to your wing?" spoke Zane "None of your buisness!" snarled Jacob "Hmhmhm..You really are pitiful.." He jabbed into Jacob's torso, as Jacob screamed "Don't you know? I enjoy this..and your just a figment of my imagination!" Zane replied sarcastically "Oh your just a figment of my imaginati-You talk to much!" he jabbed it in further as Jacob laughed maniacally. Suzie frightened screamed "Stop!" and tackled Zane, "Why you.." Zane prepared to take Suzie's life as Glistening intervened with a long staff like tool, and swung at Zane with all his might, Zane went flying back and disappeared into a pool of boiling acid... Jacob sighed "He's not gone..He'll just come back to torment me again.." Suzie was in tears, Glistening went to comfort her, and put Suzie in bed. Glistening angered said "What was that? Whats going on?" "That's Zane..My alter ego.." Replied Jacob in a very serious manner... Later that day.. Suzie and Jacob played video games..well..more so Jacob, Suzie was busy stalking his every move, Jacob got a headshot "Kiss the dust! Eyeheheh!" Suzie replied with "Okay!" "What?" said Jacob puzzled, "Nothing!" blushed Suzie. Glistening was making bacon and hay, as that was literally all they had "You lovebirds having fun?" snarked a sarcastic Glistening Spark. "MUFFINS!" Was heard from outside as a loud pound was heard. Derpy Hooves, a pegasus pony, the mailmare, had Icy Wind mounted atop her along with his guards flying along side the mare, she loved muffins. Derpy had a bit of a crash landing. They found derpy on the other side of the hill that would lead to Ponyville, but they had some cave trauma, so they werent doing that again, so Derpy offered to give Icy a ride over the mountain, as the guards were carrying equipment and couldnt do so themselves. Princess Cadence and Prince Shining Armor of the Crystal Empire had heard about the train crash and were in town to see the situation. They were being interviewed, when all of the sudden I saw a pony sitting atop the Ponyville docks..watching me...he was a hooded pony, a stallion from what I could make out. I attempted to tell the guards about it, when all of the sudden the guards pointed out Jacob, that he was my partner. But wait boys! ya can't just leave me! cmon! were a team, don't throw me with this guy!" I whined "Sure we can! we just did! our job was to get you to Ponyville, and we did!" They replied chuckling, and flew off to canterlot. I grumbled and went up to Jacob, as he bucked me with his back hooves. "Hey! what was that for?" I said angrily, he replied with "Oh, I just thought you needed a little help..thats all." "Hows that helpful!?" I asked, "Trust me." he replied. I grumbled as he made no sence, I followed him to Glistening's House, where along the way we were stopped by a rainbow maned pony on a cloud, "Rainbow Da-" I stopped her "Not Interested." we continued walking and we arrived at Glistenings house, where my parents were. "Mom? Dad? Why are you he-" I was stopped by Jacob "It's not really them, Zane, I'm tired of this!" They poofed away as Zane locked the doors and appeared infront of me, he appeared to be charging an attack, and just as he finished it, COLTon came in and bit off Zane's ear, Zane disappeared. COLTon walked up to me "Mas...ter...Master Icy Wind..." as he broke the locks "Well, looks like we found the unicorn who I built the robot for!" chuckled Glistening Spark. "And you are?" I asked "Glistening Spark, Professional Tinkerer at your service! Can't ya see? My cutie mark is a wrench and screws!" Glistening proudly said, Suzie sarcastically corrected him "Yeah, your about as professional as a..a..Eh I got nothing." Glistening Chuckled "Out of insults already Suzie? it was just getting fun! Heheh!" Suzie Grumbled. "..This..was odd..Well, speaking of my parents, that reminds me!" I ran outside and asked a purple pony for directions "You! Purple Unicorn! Do you happen to have directions to the nearest post office?" I asked "I'm Twilight, and it's right over there!" She pointed pleasantly westward.
Zebra TerritoryI began to write a letter to my parents, when all of the sudden a loud BOOM is sounded, I run out the post office to see a large rippling portal, Jacob, Glistening and Suzie were all infront of it, I ran up to them, "What the hay happened?!" to which Suzie replied "I..don't know." "Only one way to find out then." he proceeded to prepare to jump in, as a hoof caught him, Suzie was in tears "Glistening! Wait! What if you get hurt! Whatd I d-" He stopped her "Suzie, calm down, if I don't come back, tell mom and dad, they'll figure something out." She cried as he jumped into the portal, I glanced at Jacob, he nodded and jumped in after. Suzie looked at me "W-Who are you?" to which I replied "I'm Icy Wind, and your Suzie, you know me." She looked at me and her eyes sparkled "I-Icy? How didn't I notice the voice? Oh my Celestia!" I nodded "But theres no time for this, I best go after them, take care of yourself Suzie." And I jumped into the portal as it was closing. On the other side was a very bright world, tinted with a green cyan atmospheric fog, Zebra's were everywhere, it was a village with hotsprings. "Where are we?" asked Glistening Spark "Stripelvania, it's where zebras come from." answered Jacob "Wait, they come from a different world?" asked a clueless Glistening Spark, He was immediately answered by Jacob "It's not another world, it's another continent, and the portal brought us here, the fog is coming from all the alchemy going on..." We walked along the town, the zebras looked at us anxiously "Say, how do you know all this?" I asked, Jacob replied with "You ask alot of questions." Glistening snarked back with "Hey! were just curious!" I agreed "Yeah! cmon dude!" Jacob annoyed snapped back "I read it! Don't you know about books?" he rolled his eyes... On a hill, watches Zane "Heheheh...The boys are finally in my trap..just a little longer, I need to lure them to the destination.." Later along the trail we find an old crippled zebra on a fork in the path, as the fog dies off, we run up to him and try to help him and ask whats wrong frantically, he spoke in an old weak voice "..H-H...Him..He..." He pointed at Jacob and rain frantically with his remaining energy "W-Wait!" said Glistening, we ran after him as on a mountain Zane chuckles evilly "Perfect..It's going along perfectly..Ahahahah!" we lost him along the trail eventually, and came to a forest, we walked in, and my teeth were clacking, I heard hissing as I yelped "AH! WHY SNAKES! WHY SNAKES!!!!????" Jacob replied with "Ah, yes, snakes are much more prominent in Stripelvania, had you mentioned your phobia, we couldve taken the other path to the volcano which most likely caused this...did I forget to mention that?" Glistening Spark grumbled "YEAH YOU DID FORGET TO MENTION THAT WERE GOIN' TO A VOLCANO YA BIG IDIOT! I'M AFRAID OF MOUNTAIN CLIMBING!" to which Jacob replied with "Arguing won't get you anywhere." meanwhile snakes were slithering all over me, one slithered onto my horn, to which I snapped and launched it against a tree with my magic, which was a bad idea, because that shook a tree full of snakes, that fell all over me "OH COME ON! NONONO! STOP! PLEASE!" I screamed "Ugh" grumbled Glistening as his horn began to glow, he picked up all the snakes off of me and put them back in the tree, we exited the forest and appeared in a port, "Hey! a port! can I just go home?!" I said "Home? when were about to find out why this happened?" replied Jacob, Glistening Grumbled and said "Why'd it have to be rain?" I happily trotted through the rain and we found a tattered home with a sattelite, we head inside, where we find an old kooky couple "I thought you should die, so I killed ya' EYEHEHEH!" laughed the stallion at a zebra skeleton, the mare replied with "Silver Stripe, we got visitors!" the stallion replied with "EYEHEHEHEH! Alright! Who're you sonny?" cackled the stallion as he put a hoof around Jacob, Jacob had an unamused look on his face, the mare put her arm around me and said "And who's this cute little filly?" to which I angrily replied "Filly!? I'm a grown stallion!" she backed off and looked at me with a look of disdain "Well, weve been in a whole lotta problems lately, with this storm that literally just occured, we aint got no sattelite power!" suddenly, I had an idea. "I got it!" I said, as my horn glowed I looked up at the storm cloud, and caused a flash of lightning to hit the sattelite. The mare came up to me and said "I-I can't help yall enough for yer' troubles, here, take this!" as the lights finally came on she handed me a map. Jacob replied "It's dangerous to go alone! take this!" I slapped him and he slapped me back harder "Ow!" I yelped as we looked at the map, it looked as a normal map except for one detail, the map showed a path, a shortcut to the volcano...
Push ForwardSuzie sat at home worried, ponyville was seemingly normal, and wasnt very affected by the incident, a peach mare and grey stallion walked by "Hey daddy, I wonder what's outside of Equestria.." said the curious peach mare, the grey stallion replied with "I dunno Lucy, Dragon territory?" She shrugged and they walked along. Meanwhile Suzie was worrying her flank off, she began pacing, when she finally told herself that she was going to just forget about it and play some video games, and she did so. Meanwhile, our heroes find the shortcut, and walk down it, it leads underground, and back up into a canyon, they finally make their way to the canyon, which had water along it, appropriately, Zane rose out of the water and looked at us floating like a puppet. He began to speak "You boys..I've got you this far, however, it's time to turn back, this isn't my plan.." Jacob replied with "What plan?!" Zane replied annoyed "Why are you so stupid? You created me, you clearly arent that bright, so it's obviously something generically malicious..oh wait...never mind I'm my own thing now.." he knocked me aside as Glistening and Jacob ran infront of me to defend me. "Why'd you do that to him?!" hollared Glistening, Jacob replied "Don't reason with it, it's all my evil thoughts." My horn was glowing as the wind intensified "R-Run." I spoke. A twister started to occur as I got up and ran into the hole behind us, Zane looked around frantically as he was swept up by the twister. "Nice goin' Icy" said Glistening "Hehe, Thanks.." I replied, Jacob disappointed corrected us "You fools.." "Hm?" we replied, He continued "We couldve imprisoned him inside me, we didn't need your help, you just made it more difficult now!" We continued arguing as I saw the hooded stallion again, I pointed at him, "THERE!" I shouted, he disappeared just before they could look "Your crazy! Thats just a cliff!" said Glistening, Jacob grumbled at Glistenings comment and Glistening embaressed fake laughed "Hehe.." I suddenly had an idea "Wait, we don't need to swim, just prepare to be cold.." I closed my eyes and focused my magic, as the water froze over, ice flowed down from the waterfalls and along the valley river as I opened my eyes, "Well, let's go!" I trotted across the ice happily, as they followed astonished. On the other side we found a swamp as I was nearly out of magic and couldn't freeze the swamp water, I groaned "Snakes AND water?! COME..ON!" Jacob rolled his eyes and said "Oh please, you went through the literal snake forest, this is nothing" "But it has water t-" I was interrupted by a letter coming down from the sky, it hit my head and I opened it with my magic and read it...
Taking out the TrashThe letter read... Dear Icy Wind...Equestria doesn't have a clue where you went, there's chaos going on, I must hope you are okay. From...Princess Luna. "Princess Luna sent you a letter!?" shouted a surprised Glistening Spark, "Well duh, he's her student." said Jacob. "Oh, yeah, I mightva forgot to mention that, heheh" I said "Either way, there's no time to talk about it, she's worried, so we better get this over with." I corrected, "Right." Said the others. We continued to trek the swamp, snakes all over me, swimming, yet oddly, I didn't care. That is until an alligator popped out. "A-Alligator!" said a frightened Glistening. "Oh please." said Jacob as he lazily wrestled the alligator. "Woah that was sooo cool!" I cheered, "Don't sweat it." said Jacob. Along the walk we kept talking about him wrestling the alligator until we finally arrived at the volcano... "Well, this is it.." said Jacob, "Yeah, I guess it is." I added, "M-m-m-mountain!!" said glistening as he curled up in a ball. All of the sudden clones of us showed up from the volcano, we fought them, using our magic, bucking them, punching them, whatever possible, the fight was valiant when all of the sudden...CRASH...Zane showed up infront of us furious, he grew a horn and it began to glow black..his mouth steaming, eyes pulsing.."I'm tired of you!" he said, and we were warped to a single platform in the middle of the volcano, which caused the volcano opening to have a donut shape, he grew bat wings, and flew up, my horn began to glow, as did glistenings as we looked at eachother, the clones came onto the platform too, how would we know if we were fighting our team mates? we had to go back to back, and we did, fighting them as they came toward us, Zane causing the volcano to begin to erupt...we kicked off the rest of the clones, to which Zane landed and began laughing...."Pitiful..you believe you can match me..?" to which Jacob flew up, grabbed zane, and spoke "You..you are me..If I get rid of me..I get rid of you.." and like that, Jacob dove headfirst into the lava..and just like that, Zane...discintigrated..
Hooded Pony UnmaskedWe gasped as the moment went solemn and silent, as if the world itself had just witnessed the birth of a star... "H-He's.." stumbled Glistening Spark My horn began to glow as Glistening looked up at me, a single snowflake fell, followd by several others soon after, soon, I had created a snowfall, "The skies, they're crying for the loss of not only a friend, but a hero..." I spoke softly. "But he can't be gone! He just can't!" sobbed Glistening, "I know, it's hard..when a friend dies.." I spoke as the snow began to intensify, "We've taken care of Zane, and now we can be sure that he's the one that caused this.." I said, "H-*sniff* How can you be sure?" asked Glistening as a rippling portal showed up in the center of the platform "Thats why, he was throwing in helpless ponies, but for what cause? Because he's only evil, he's entirely constructed of Jacob's evil, and thats why Jacob was so good." I replied, "Now, we best head through this portal, before it closes." I added, as Glistening nodded and we headed through the portal... When we reached the other side we were in a black room, seeminly empty other than the slight smell of lingering pony flesh, it was dark and quiet, we walked around for a bit and began hearing machines pumping we walked toward the sound and it wasn't long before we heard a sudden **SHING** And a thump behind us, we turned around frightened, to see nothing but the shine of the door behind us, steaming different colors, shimmering off of metal.. As we began to back away two pegasus ponies came behind us and held us in place, "Let us go!" shouted Glistening Spark "Yeah, whats the big idea? What is this place? Who are you?" I added, Two yellow eyes opened infront of us as we heard a voice... "Fret not boys, I only want to ask you questions..I am Zeere, the pony who currently runs this place, now I don't want to answer your questions yet, so why not answer myne?" he spoke solemnly.."First, why are you here? And how did you get here?" he asked, "We came here through a portal" I said, "Really? Hmm...Who are you?" he asked hastily, "We're-" I was interrupted by Glistening "Glistening Spark, professional tinkerer and Icy Wind, Princess Luna's student!" He shouted while struggling, the pegasus holding him got a better grip before Zeere glared at them and they dropped us, "This is the Rainbow Factory, in Cloudsdale...However, I can't allow you into the main corrido-" before he could finish I immediately ran out the door behind us, and what I saw scarred me for eternity, Pegasus ponies being torn apart and put into machines that blended up a rainbow extract (This'll definitely give me a grimdark rating XD) I gasped as Zeere grabbed me and covered my mouth followed by putting a knife next to my neck, in the light from the reflection of his knife I could see...He was the hooded pony...
DeepfreezeI struggled as he pulled me up with his wings, Glistening ran into the room and charged his horn but was retained by two pegasus ponies, we screamed frantically when all of the sudden, I heard a drilling in the wall, as COLTon burst in with his mechanical wings and tackled Zeere then attacking the Pegasai detaining Glistening. "ALRIGHT ROBOT!" I cheered, "COLTon." Corrected Glistening, "Why you..." growled Zeere as he struggled to get back up, he took off his hood, to reveal he had a horn, "Y-Your a" I stumbled "Alicorn.." said Zeere, we were silent while he charged his horn, a wall burst open as the wind intensified through it, Princess Luna and Princess Celestia came through the gaping hole in the wall of the factory, as they stood next to us, behind them came none other than Jacob.. "It can't be!" we gasped, he struggled "I thought you could use a little help..." he said as he smirked, "What about Zane?" I asked, "He's contained inside me, that lava isnt normal lava, it pulls you down, like quicksand, I went under, where he was weak, contained him, and used my mechanical wing to paddle out." he explained "Trust me.." he added. With COLTon, the Princesses, and Jacob behind us who could stop us? So we thought..He was an alicorn, which gives him extreme power, how could he have gotten this state? Was he born with it? Who knows? He charged his horn as ponies behind him and in the factory began to act zombie like, their eyes turning a glowing pure green. With a full powered army standing with him, it was a stalemate, there was silence for a second before Princess Luna put out her wing to comfort me, "Nows not the time to be scared, now's the time to use your magic lessons to your advantage..." She said, "Right." I replied and nodded. The moment was distilled, it seemed oddly farmiliar...That's when it hit me, all of the sudden I had a flashback of the Windigo's, my ears perked and I said "I got it!" all of the sudden my horn began to glow, the wind intensified.... Ice and Hail began to fall, storming in through the hole, I began to tear up the roof, the factory began to collapse, His horn began to glow as he flew up and shot beams at all of us, one hit Glistening in the mechanical wings, tearing through to his flank, leaving his back leg injured, he screamed in pain as Princess Luna looked at Princess Celestia with a questioning look, as Princess Celestia nodded, Princess Luna looked at me with a look of dismay "I trust in you, that it'll be alright.." she asked "You can count on me princess!" I replied, as Luna used her magic to hoist Glistening onto her back and she flew away to a Cloudsdale Hospital. Cloudsdale ponies were panicking, as they didn't cause this storm, and theories of the Windigo's return began spreading because of the Non-Cloudsdalian made storm, Princess Celestia came next to me and her horn began to glow, she looked at Jacob and said "Zane." Jacob frightened replied with "W-What?!" Princess Celestia looked at him with a serious manner "NOW!" and Jacob quickly nodded as his eyes illuminated with immense power, my horn glowed brighter and I let off a magic wave, sending Zeere and his army flying into the wall, he quickly got up as COLTon drilled into him, Jacob flew toward Zeere, Princess Celestia powering him up with her magic as He fired off a beam delivering the finishing blow, as light flew around Zeere, it was a beautiful sight, it began to flash in little twinkles of purple navy blue and pink, before turning to his coat color of Dark Baige, and his mane color of Grey, it exploded jetting down in a net formation to Zeere's body pulling it up then covering it taking it's shape until finally shrinking into nothing with the body gone. "The death of an Alicorn.." I said, Jacob struggling, and panting. Princess Celestia finally said "That's enough Jacob." as Jacob fell powerless, Princess Celestia used her magic to pick him up, as I couldn't take the magic anymore, and I put the whole factory into a deepfreeze...
COLTonA dead robot sat in the corner, Jacob observed it, "Oh, thats COLTon, a robot I built for somepony in canterlot, but they never came and picked it up "Huh, cool." replied Jacob "Either way, let's get started on that wing, Jacob nodded. Back in shimmerwood acres, the zebra approaches the two guards in a phantom forme, "So..you escaped my dragon..the unicorn wont live..not unless you get him to safety in hmm..let's see...3 hours? hmmhmm..good luck.." a guard swiped at him as he turned to his zebra forme, and ran off... Back in the workshop... "Now, this'll only hurt a little bit," said Glistening, as he strapped a belt around Jacob, and an opening for the wing snapped straight into his wing nub, Jacob laughed from the pain with a psychotic smile, he slapped himself and nodded. Glistening spoke "You alright Buddy? You seem a bit..loopy." "I-I'm fine" replied Jacob, "Well then, let's get started" replied Glistening. They went onto the roof. "You ready Suzie?" Suzie smiled and nodded as she pulled the string to unfold the mechanical wing. Glistening Spark observed closely, "You ready? try moving your nub to flap the wing!" Jacob did so and flew around the house, above trees and back. Glistening proudly clapped "Bravo! Congrats! that'll be 50 bits!" there was silence.. "Just kidding bud, welp, I guess your stayin' with us!" Suzie replied with "Really!? Awesome!" they went inside as a slow knock, happened on the door... Back in shimmerwood acres, they approach the guard's grandmother's home, as they are kindly let in, the grandmother heals Icy Wind, as he wakes up. "W-Where am I?" the old mare loves reptiles, and the home was littered with them. "S-Snakes? AHH!" I shook frantically as the old mare calmed me down "It's fine dearie, they don't bite, they are defanged." "O-Oh..heheh" I sighed thankfully "Well Sir Wind-" I interrupted him "Hey, that has a nice ring to it, Sir Wind, keep callin' me that! Hehe!" he grumbled and we left, as we walked out the door, I used my magic to put a snake that hissed at me in the trash.
FinaleI opened my eyes to see myself in a galaxy like area, I looked around before feeling something on my back, it was Princess Luna's wing, I looked up at her freaking out, "Wha-What happened!? Jacob, Glistening, Princess Celestia? What happened to them?!" Luna replied with " Glistening is fine, I've gotten the others thawed out, it really wasn't your fault..but I must say, I'm proud of you.." "Am I dead?" I asked, "Hmhmhm, No Icy Wind, your ascended, You've reached a higher level now." She answered, "What kind of level?" I asked, "You'll see.." she answered. I began to glow, as my cutie mark began to glow, which was a snowflake, my destiny was made clear, I ended up in Ponyville during the night, and noticed a strange sensation, I had wings, it was for real, I was an alicorn, what did I do to earn this? I don't really know, I'm guessing it had something to do with the saving of something, or somewhat? Solving a problem, proving myself? Who knows? Either way, I'm stating this so that the readers don't complain, if you don't like me becoming an alicorn, don't count this as canon, maybe its in another dimension, either way, I had this concept a long time ago, and I'm finally rebirthing it. Jacob, Suzie, and Glistening looked at me and noticed it as well, Luna watched me proudly as Celestia landed next to her, Celestia Finally spoke "You will no longer be ordinary old Icy Wind, you will now be known as Prince Icy Wind, I expect you to help Cloudsdale with the weather from now on." Ponyville cheered.. And from there, the Rainbow Factory was changed into my castle, where we found a more natural way to make rainbows, using water and food coloring. I finally sat down in my throne, to see my mother and father infront of me, my father walked up to me and said "I'm really proud of you son...but.." he said, "But what?" I asked, "Make sure your studies come first.." He answered, I chuckled, and that was our tale, The tale of me, Icy Wind, and my most unlikely of friends, Jacob and Suzie got married, and Glistening got a job as an ACTUAL professional tinkerer, it was a sweet tale, filled with adventure, drama, comedy, and most of all, friendship... THE END. "Hey, Daddy, this can't be the end!" Said the Baige pony "Cmon' Lucy..." Replied the Grey pony **Lucy is dragged offscreen by her father**
**BONUS** Lucy and Madara**BONUS** Lucy and Madara A baige pony walks down the stairs in her home and into the living room to play Call of Cutie, she is the top of the leaderboard in all of equestria, despite that not being her cutie mark, you'd think that ponies with the natural talent of this would do better, but they don't, she has a sister named Innati, and a father named Madara, a husband named Copper, and two children, Lily and Sarutobi, she is a promenent fourth wall breaker, and shows up a few times in the story, can you find them? If so comment which chapters they are on, excluding this one of course. Lucy plays call of cutie and notices the doorbell ring, Copper is home. "Hey honey!" says Lucy as she opens the door, the two hug and Lily and Sarutobi run up to see their father, when all of the sudden he sinks through the ground and comes out the roof, then follows it up with "Meth man.." "I'm not a man" replies an annoyed Lucy "Pony meth is sooo great.." says Sarutobi as he starts trippin' balls soon after. Madara walks out to see this all happening "AAand thats my queue to leave.." he says, as he turns around and goes back into his room. "Pitiful." says a sarcastic Lily, "Indeed" agrees Lucy. "That's my line!" shouts Madara from his room, "Sorry! hehe" answers Lucy. **Copper comes up the screen licking it rubbing his face against it** The end...
