6 years ago on the same week of Celestia on Trial, Hammer and Sickle who have just been chased by Griffon authorities into the Blizzard Bergs try to make camp. They vow they'll return, free Stalliongrad, and make the Griffons pay, along with the neighbors, just watching the Stalliongrad people suffer while they pleasure themselves in peace, harmony, and freedom. Suddenly, a blizzard comes by and the two try finding shelter in a glacier. They enter a small opening and find a body, frozen in the ice. Sickle is unsure of freeing whatever it is but Hammer tells him that the worst ideas, are the best ideas.

They carve out the ice and melt the ice. It reveals itself as Queen Chrysalis. The two do not know who she is but are threatened by the appearance and seeming authority she had. Queen Chrysalis dominates the two, demanding to know what is going on.

Frightened, the two brothers don't know what happened on the Wedding but tell her it's the same week the wedding started on, and that they freed her because they thought they'd be rewarded for saving her (lie). The Queen finds it amusing that these lesser ponies expect a reward for helping her. Regardless, she guarantees that she'll help them with their problem once she is ready and that in return, they help her when the time requires it. The two asks why they should help her when they just saved her.

Queen Chrysalis responds: Because, I have something no pony else can offer you: control.
