My Icy Rescuer

The next day was an important day. It was the trial of Flash who tried to rape and tried to kill Twilight under the influence of alcohol. To be honest Arctic couldn’t care less what’s going to happen to him. As long as justice comes to Flash and his so called friends. He was more thinking about what Mallory said to him last night.

Flashback

When he enters Mallory’s office he noticed Mallory was still working. “Am I interrupting?” Asked Arctic.

“Not at all, come on in and close the door behind you please,” Mallory said working behind his computer. Arctic did what was asked.

“So” Mallory began, stretching his arms and looking away from his computer “I guess you’re here for Twilight?”

“Yes, did you feel the magic in her too?” Arctic asked Mallory.

“I felt it immediately when I first saw her,” Mallory said.

“What do you suggest we should do?” Arctic wonders.

“For the moment there’s nothing that we can do. Sooner or later she’ll show some ordinary symptoms, like a cold, fever or sneezing and coughing… but with some magical dust and that’s when we come in. To see if we can stabilize her magic.

“That’s it? That can’t be it! There’s gotta be more.” Arctic said.

“Of course there’s more.” Mallory rolled his eyes. “Once we succeed to stabilize her magic then she comes with us for doing some tests to see what kind of magic she possesses.” He explains.

“What kind of tests?” Arctic asked with a slight bit of worry in his voice.

“Don’t worry nothing will happen to her. The tests are harmless. She’s gonna learn some spells and how to defend herself in a fight and I want you to be her teacher.” Mallory pointed at Arctic.

“Me?” Arctic’s eyes widened. He did not see that one coming. “Why me? I’m not a great teacher you know.”

“Twilight likes you, you saved her twice and you even brought her here and I saw it in your eyes. You like her too Arctic.”

Arctic didn’t like this and his eyes turned red. "Why does everyone think I like Twilight? Ok, she’s sweet, kind, she has beautiful hair and she tries to help others and… Gah! Maybe I do have a crush on her!" Arctic thought and sighed in defeat.

“I’ll teach her what I know,” Arctic said and went for the door.

“Good boy! Now if you will excuse me I still need to finish some paperwork” Mallory joked and went back to work.

Flashback ends

"Hey, Arctic, wake up! You can't fall asleep." Twilight said as she shook him awake.

"Huh?" Arctic said, looking up he realized fell asleep and when he was thinking about yesterday’s conversation with Mallory. Arctic shook his head. "Where the heck are we?"

"We're in court in case you have forgotten it." Twilight was a bit annoyed at this.

“Right! I know, I know.” Arctic said in annoyance.

Arctic, Twilight, her family and friends were here to witness against Flash. They were all waiting for the judge to arrive. Twilight's friends were excited and were taking in the sights inside the room while waiting for the judge. Arctic, on the other hand, was starting to get bored.

"What’s taking the judge so long? We've already been here for an hour, and the case is very clear; Flash. Is. Guilty." Arctic pointed out.

"I know, but just be quiet and stay awake," Twilight said.

"No promises," Arctic said and then the judge walked into the court.

"All rise." the guard said. Everyone rose to their seats.

"Be seated." The judge said and everyone sat down. "Let us begin."

Arctic was immensely bored and his eyes threatened to close as he listened to Flash's friends giving out their testimonies.

Then when Flash was giving his testimony Arctic was immediately awake. He wanted to know why Flash would do such a thing to Twilight.

“I’m innocent, I swear I didn’t do these things to Twilight, NEVER!!!” Flash was almost begging the judge and the jury to believe him. But nobody was buying it. Except for 2 persons Applejack and Arctic.

Arctic had a surprised look on his face. He could see in Flash’s eyes that he was telling… the truth! But then Twilight’s father, Night Light stood up and he screamed at Flash “LIAR!!! You tried to rape my daughter and even tried to kill her. And now you’re denying your actions?! Take some responsibility you selfish brat!!!”

“Silence!” The judge said banging his hammer. “Mister Light, if you can’t control your emotions during the court you’ll have to leave the room.” Night Light took a deep breath and calmed down.

"Now, Mr. Ice please come forward." The judge called.

Finally, with something to do, Arctic quickly stood up and walked to where Flash's once stood.

"Do you swear to say the truth, only the truth, and nothing but the truth?" Asked the judge. Arctic only nods.

"You can begin questioning the witness."

"Mr. Ice, what is your part in this?" Asked one of the lawyers.

"I was the one who saved Ms. Sparkle from Sentry." Answered Arctic.

"Both times?" Arctic nods.

"Could you tell us what happened?"

Arctic took a deep breath. "On the first time, I was buying food at the near warehouse when I heard a scream. Due to being taught to respond to danger immediately, I quickly ran to the source. I saw Flash Sentry and his two goons beating her up."

"And you jumped in?" Asked the lawyer.

"Yes. Even when I knew that she did some pranks at school in which I am the victim, I would never let anyone suffer such a fate like that." Arctic explained as he looked at Twilight.

When Arctic brought that up, she didn't know what to do. She would lower her head and blush in embarrassment, or she would blush from the valiant deed he said.

"And you just went in and fought them?"

"No, only a fool would do such a thing. I only waited for the right moment when they were distracted. And when they did, I knocked out the first one I saw.

"And who might that be?"

"Eugene "Snails" Jackson. After that, it was a two on one fight. Twilight was unconscious and had only her um… undergarments on." Arctic put on a straight face on this as he felt his face burn.

"After a heavy fight I got stabbed in the sides and back multiple times, but I managed to knock out Flash and Snips. I then recovered Ms. Sparkle's clothes and put them back on. "Arctic finally started to blush redder than before as he kept his straight face on.

"Look, he's blushing!" Rarity whispers to Twilight. "He's so cute when he blushes."

"Strange, he didn't even bat an eye when he told me this and that was more embarrassing," Twilight said to Rarity.

"- and after that, I lost consciousness from my wounds. After a few hours, I awoke in the local hospital. The Doctor said I was allowed to leave in the morning. When I was back at school. I heard a crowd gathering around Twilight’s locker and there I saw Flash threatening Twilight with a knife. He would have killed her if I didn’t step in time and knocked him unconscious. I took Flash’s body with me and dropped him at the two Principals of our school. They called the police and I went back to my class. That’s my story, sir.” Arctic finished explaining.

"Any more questions?" Asked the judge. The lawyer shook his head. "I will now give the jury time to come to a decision."

The group was now in the lobby, waiting for the result of the jury. Arctic was bored out of his mind and very irritable while the girls talked about something he didn't want to be involved. Finally, he threw his arms up in frustration and whispered loudly.

"Why is it taking so long?! It's obvious Sentry's guilty!" Arctic said.

"Hold on there, Sugarcube. These things take time." Said Applejack.

Arctic immediately gave her an annoyed look. "Don’t call me 'Sugarcube' Applejack. I have a name. I don't need a softy nickname." He growls.

"Aw come on Arctic," Twilight said. “When Applejack calls you ‘sugarcube’ it means that she sees you as a good friend.”

Arctic frowned. “Whatever then!.” He said softly “You can call me Sugarcube if you want Applejack.” Applejack responded with giving Arctic a pat on the shoulder while smiling at him. Then Arctic did something that made everyone stunned. He smiled back!

"I knew there was an emotional side in his heart." Twilight thought happily.

Arctic then noticed from the corner of his eye that Spike was reading "In Blackest Night."

~~(A/N: If you don't know what "The Blackest Night" is, it's a DC Comic arc. You should Google that.)~~

"Twilight, is your dog really reading this comic book?" Arctic asks. Spike barked in response as if it was meant to say 'yes.'

"Yeah. I trained him to read when he was just a pup." Twilight said. "But when he finally learned how he keeps on reading comic books. So I buy comics for him every month if there is a release. You read comic books too?"

"Yes, but I borrow the comics from Anthony's stack. He keeps collecting them and he has so much that we made a shed just for his comic books." Arctic said when an idea came to his mind.

"Hey, Spike. Wanna hear the end of this comic?" Asked Arctic. Spike growled at him in response. Arctic chuckled when the realization hit him hard and he smacked his face.

Twilight was giggling at Arctic's reaction and was happy that Spike and Arctic were getting along.

"Earth to egghead. Wake up." Rainbow Dash said as she shook Twilight. "Stop drooling over Arctic and pay attention to us."

Twilight blushed at her comment, hoping no one heard that.

Suddenly, a man dressed in black came saying that the jury had made their decision.

"Good, let’s see what their decision is!" Arctic said as he walked his way into the courtroom.

After a few minutes, everyone was seated and a woman carrying the verdict stood up and spoke. "The jury finds the defendant, Flash Sentry... Guilty of all charges."

"What?! No! I’m innocent. I didn’t do this. They're lying!" Said Flash as he was restrained by his father and another guard. Again Arctic saw innocence in Flash’s eyes.

"For his punishment, he will undergo rehabilitation and will stay in prison for an unknown period of time."

"I agree." Said the judge. "And with that, I say that this case is closed." He slammed the hammer on his desk.

Twilight's family and friends were rejoicing at their achievement.

"I know!" Said Velvet. "Why don't we go out to Twilight's favorite restaurant and celebrate?"

Everyone cheered, except for Arctic, who was walking away from the group. Twilight noticed this and called him. "Hey Arctic, can you come with us?" She said. Arctic turned around to answer, only to see Twilight's puppy dog eyes. Arctic frowned.

"No. please not the puppy eyes." He pleaded. Twilight frowned more, giving Arctic a hard time resisting her cute face. Finally, he sighed.

"Ow fine." He said, causing Twilight to make a smile that could make The Joker and Pinkie Pie jealous.

"It's still 4:02. How about we meet up at the restaurant at 6:00?" Night Light suggested.

Everyone agreed and Night Light, along with Velvet, left the seven teenagers and the dog alone. Twilight then grabbed Arctic's arm and dragged him into town, while hiding the blush she was wearing.

"Let's go shopping, girls." Rarity said. "I hope they have some new clothes to try on."

Arctic merely growled as he knew the hell of the remaining two hours will be for him.

"I hate shopping with girls." He thought. But he had other worries. Somethings not right here. There’s one question that’s bugging him: Is Flash really innocent or is he a good liar?
