Author's Note

I know I said in one of my blogs that I would release this chapter in february. I'm sorry that I didn't do this. But if I did, the chapter would have been more rushed.... So anyhoof, better late then never. Here is my next chapter enjoy! Spoiler: Arctic's story is almost over...

And so it begins....

After Gym class all the students except for Rainbow Dash and Applejack were tired. Arctic, who also wasn't tired carried Twilight on his back. She and the rest of the students were exhausted. Coach Spitfire had them do fitness exercises. Most of the students were excited about this, especially Rainbow Dash and Applejack. This was for them a challenge to show each other that they are better than the other one. Twilight teamed up with her boyfriend. Rarity with Fluttershy and Pinkie with Sunset.

“This looks familair.” Arctic mumbeld.

Twilight, who was enjoying the piggy ride from her boyfriend heard him.

“What did you say?” She wonderd.

Arctic rolled his eyes. “That this reminds me how I carried you back home more then a month ago.”

Twilight giggeld. “What it that terrible Mr Grumpy?”

“No, but you were getting heavy when I was almost at your home.” He replied dryly. This caused all the girls to gasp. Twilight gave him a slap on the back of his head.

“Arctic! You never tell a lady that she's getting heavy. Certainly not to your girlfriend.” Rarity stated.

Arctic groans. “I didn't say that she gained weight” earning another slap from Twilight but Arctic kept his cool. “I was getting tired. After carrying her for so long, I didn't exactly know where she lives.” He deadpannend. The girls were still glaring at him. So Arctic starts glaring back at them.

“Fine! Sorry if I made you feel you gained weight.” Arctic said to Twilight and she gave him another slap on his head.

Arctic clenched his teeth. “You did that on purpose didn't you?” Trying to control his anger.

“Maaaaaaybe.” She teased.

Arctic was getting annoyed at this. The iris of his eyes changed to red for a few seconds. This time his new friends saw it.

“Woah nelly! How did ya do that?” Applejack asked.

“How did I do what?”

“T-that your eyecolor changed from blue to red. You see … um it was kinda s-scary.” Fluttershy added.

Arctic facepalmed himself while holding Twilight. “Dam now I've done it.” He thought. Arctic looks back at Twilight, who gave him a comforting smile.

“I think it's time you tell them the truth.” Twilight whispers in his ear.

“Forgot it, I'm not telling them.” He snapped. Twilight gave him a dissaproving look.

“You will tell them you buster! And if you don't I'll tell them.”

That last sentence made Arctic almost drop Twilight not because of how angry he already is but that Twilight is going to tell his new friends about his secret. “I really hate you sometimes Sparkles.”

She snuggeld her cheek against his. “I know I can be annoying sometimes but I know you always forgive me in the end.”

Rainbow was acting like she was gonna throw up. “Ugh will you two stop with the kissy-kiss and start telling how your eyes turned red?”

Arctic placed Twilight back on the ground and turns back to his friends. “Get dressed first and after that I tell you.” Arctic said, much to his dismay.

“Pinkie Promise?” Pinkie asked exited.

“No!” Arctic retorted.

After his reaction Pinkies hair turned flat. “Aww bummer!”

“Come on Pinkie ya can't force everyone to make a Pinkie Promise. Besides I'm sure Arctic will keep his word about telling tha truth.” Applejack said comforting.

“Who said I gave my word?” Arctic replied.

“Because if ya don't Twilight will tell us and ah can see in ya damm eyes that ya want to tell us.” Applejack retorted.

“Good point!” Arctic deadpannend earning a smirk from Applejack.

“Come on girls let us get dressed.” Sunset said. They all agreed and went to girls' locker room while Arctic went to the boy's locker room.

Chaos zone: Discord's Manor, the Throne room.

Screwballs was tapping her fingers impatiently, since she transformed Flash Sentry in 'something else' she started with the indoctrination. To make her vision 'Creating chaos through destruction' be the one and only correct one so that his loyalty will stay with her. The soon to be Queen of Chaos.

Flash's transformation was weird and chaotic. Just the way she liked and especially the result. As soon as she touched him and turned him in a dark shade of grey his eyes opend wide with a hudge smile on his face. “Wooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!!!” he screamed and his body started to shake heavily with his head turning around in cirkels.

“Release him” Screwballs orderd her clones.

They did what she asked of them.

Flash stood up with still a wide grin on his face. He then looks at one of his hands. Suddenly both his hands became bigger and his arms became more muscled. Then his feet started shaking. They became twice as big and his body grew until he was almost 3 meters tall. His chest, neck and legs were also more musceld. The he felt something coming out off his back. 2 demonic wings appeared behind him.

His transformation was now complete. Flash's chuckeld evily at his master and roared through the entire castle.

Screwballs looked up at her now second in command. Flash was transformed in an orange skinned and blue haired demon.

“Good, good...” Srewballs said in approval. “Now sleep!” And snapped her fingers. Flash immediately fell asleep on the ground. She then teleported herself, Flash and her clones to the indoctrination chamber.

There they put Flash into some sort of amino tank filled with purple liquid. Once he was placed inside, multiple cabels came out and connected with Flash's forehead, his arms, chest, back, legs and feet.

Screballs opend up the command console of the tank to start the indoctrination procedure. “You will be loyal to me Flash!” and pressed the activation button. The cabels started to glow. Flash was getting filled with pain, horror, suffering. He woke up and screamed but he couldn't move himself. He had no control. The only thing he could do was screaming and hoping the pain will end soon.

Screwballs smirked at him and left the indoctrination room while her clones guarded Flash in case something went wrong.

It's been a few hours now and Screwballs was still waiting impatiently. “Not to myself: find a way to speed up the indoctrination procedure.” She thought.

Just then the doors opend revealing her second in command: Flash Sentry. He walks towards her royal chair and kneels before Screwballs.

She stood up and looked down at him. “Rise my friend.”

Flash did as she asked and looked up at his leader.

“Come we have to assemble my army. For soon we shall invade the city of Canterlot and find the Elements of Harmony and bend them to my will.” Screwballs said determined as they both left the throne room.

Meanwhile the Mane 7 and Arctic Ice were heading to Twilight's house. The new couple were walking hand in hand. Much to Arctic's dismay but thanks to Twilight's cute puppy eyes he couldn't say no.

Rainbow huffed at them. “What is this? Puppy love?” Getting a glare from Twilight and the rest.

“Really Rainbow Dash? You should at least show some happiness for Twilight and Arctic.” Rarity defended.

“Yeah, yeah...” Rainbow waved away. Rarity rolled her eyes at her.

“S-so uhm, what is it that you want to tell us Arctic? If I might ask?” Fluttershy asked with a little fear in her voice.

Arctic looked at her but instead of giving her a cold stare he simply said “as soon as we are at Twilight's home, I'll tell you all everything.” Arctic reassured her. “Not that I have much choice now.” He said in his thoughts as they continued walking.

When they all entered the house of Twilight, they were greeted by Velvet and Night Light.

“Hello girls” Vevelt said and she then noticed Arctic. “Good to see you too Arctic.”

“It's good to see you're up and running Arctic.” Night Light quickly added.

Arctic gave a small smile at them. “Thank you I am feeling much better than yesterday.”

Twilight's parents nodded at him, glad to know he's fine.

“Speaking of yesterday... There's someone else that needs to talk to you.” Twilight said behind Arctic.

She opens a door that leads to the living room, revealing Shining Armor and a young woman with light purple eyes, pink skin, long curly hair with violet-rose-pale gold streaks with a blue bow in her hair.

“Cadance!” Twilight exclaimed.

The young women named Cadence runs up to her and they did a some sort of greeting? "Sunshine, sunshine, ladybugs awake. Clap your hands and do a little shake!”

Despite being cold towards others sometimes Arctic couldn't help but snicker at their greeting.

Twilight heard him but decided to ignore it and moved towards her BBBFF. “C'mon Shinning, time for you to apologize to my boyfriend.” As she pushed him behind his back. Shining kept his head low still ashamed of what he did to his little sis's savior and now boyfriend.

As they both stood now face-to-face, Shining was still looking down while his left hand holding his right arm. “I' am very sorry that I attacked you yesterday. I should have know better. I thought you were the guy who did those horrible things to my sister.... I was so stupid to think that.” Shining admitted. “I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me.” As he put out his hand for a handshake.

Arctic crossed his arms and gave Shining a cold glare. “Maybe you should think twice before you jump to any conclusions.” Arctic said harshly.

Shining began to lowers his hand. “However!” Arctic said making Shining looking back up. “I would have done the same thing if I was you. Despite what you did to me you're very... protective” Arctic reluctantly admitted.

Shining gave him a small smile. “Let's start over again.” He suggested. “Hi i'm Shining Armor, brother of Twilight Sparkle.”

Arctic rolls his eyes at this. “ I am Arctic Ice, Twilight's boyfriend,” after their introductions they shake each others hands.

Arctic's hands felt cold for Shining Armor. “Man you have cold hands. Are you ok?”

“I'm coldblooded.” Arctic deadpanned making Shining raising his eyebrow, creating an akward silence.

Cadance decided to end the akwardness. “Ok since that is out of the way, how about you and your friends start making your homework Twilight?”

Twilight blinked a few times before she realizes what Cadance means by that. She gave Twilight a wink. “Wait! How does she even now?” Twilight thought.

“Euh that's right... we should go upstairs and.... euhm make our homework hehehe.”

Arctic raised an eyebrow at her. “We don't have...” but Twilight cut him off. “So much homework, better do it now then later right girls?” As she looked back at her friends.

AJ, Sunset and Rarity agreed while RD, Pinkie and Fluttershy just shrugged. “Yeah I guess.” Rainbow reluctantly admitted.

But Night Light didn't agree with the idea that a boy was going to the room of his daughter. Sure Arctic cured Twilight of this mysterious disease but this... was different for Night Light.

Twilight Velvet saw his uncertainty. “Don't worry Night. I'm sure that Rainbow Dash and Applejack will keep an eye on him.” Reassuring her husband.

“Ya count on us!” Applejack jokingly applied.

“I'm not like Flash you know?” Arctic retorted.

Night Light sighed. “Alright Arctic can go with you girls to your room to make your homework. Twilight quickly ran over to her father and gave him a hug. Her father gladly returned the favor.

Seeing Twilight and Night Light hugging each other made Arctic for some reason sad.

Fluttershy notices this. A-Arctic are you ok? You look so sad.

Twilight released her father to look back at her boyfriend. He had indeed a sad look on his face and he saw in the corner of his eyes small tears coming up.

Arctic quickly shook his head and dried his eyes. “Nothing that concerns you Fluttershy!” He snapped. Making Flutterhsy a little scared.

Arctic sighed “but it is.... appreciated.” He admitted coldly.

Sunset decided to step in. “Come on everyone let us finish our home work so that we can have some fun later on.”

“Yay Fun!!!” Pinkie said exited while boucing up and down.

The seven girls and the one boy went upstairs to Twilight's room.

“I wonder what made Arctic so sad a minute ago.” Shining wondered.

“Oh, Shining are you really that blind?” Cadance teased him.

Shining gave his girlfriend a questionable look. Having no idea what she means. Cadance rolled her eyes. “He needs a family. I can see it at his bodylanguage. Sure he has now the love of a grilfriend to fill his heart but also needs love of familie, a mother to make his cold heart turn in to a warm heart.”

Hearing this made Velvet, Night Ligt and Shining widened their eyes. They didn't know Arcitc was an orphan.

Back in Twilight's room everyone was making themselfs comfortable around Twilight's bed. Arctic on the other hand was still standing. Ready or not he was going to tell his new friends the truth about him. No more secrets.

“C'mon darling, tell us. What is it that Twilight already knows about you and we don't know yet.” Rarity asked.

Arctic stuck his hands in his pockets and looked slightly away. “About that... What I'm going to tell and going to show you... whatever it is don't scream. Got it?! He orded them. The girl nodded and agreed.

“Good, now get ready to blow your minds!” Arctic said dryly as he allowed his magic to transform himself....

Chaos zone: Discord's Manor, the courtyard.

And army of 10 000 green skeletons with red eyes were ready for battle. The army of Screwballs and the Flash-demon. (Yeah, that's how I call him now.) All the skeletons were equipped with knight armor parts. Their weapons were: crossbows, bows and arrows, swords, daggers, shields...

The commander of the army stepped forward. Who was equipped with spartan armor and had a spear as a weapon.

“Is your army ready to invade?” The Flash-demon asked.

The commander nodded at him. “Then on my orders!....” The Flash-demon began.

“ON MY ORDERS!!!” Srewballs cut him off. “Go to that world, find the girls that wields the Elements of Harmony. If anyone especially my brother stands in your way... SHOW... NO …. MERCY!!!” She orderd the commander and the army.

The commander gave the army the signal to move out. While the Flash-demon and Screwballs followed them in the air.

Outside the castle Srewballs and the Flash-demon created a portal with their magic so that the army could enter Canterlot City directly.

Back in Twilight's room,

The girls, except for Twilight were in shock. The place where Arctic was standing stood now, no floated... some sort of pony-ghost.

Fluttershy quickly hide behind the pillow of Twilight's bed. Rarity was about to scream but Applejack placed her hand on Rarity's mouth. Sunset's and Pinkie's mouths were agap. Rainbow on the other hand wasn't impressed.

“Ok enough with the tricks Arctic.” She said annoyed.

“It's no trick. This, is my real form.” The pony-ghost said making the girls gasp.

“He can talk!” Rarity exclaimed.

Twilight facepalmed herself at Rarity's reaction. “Of course he can talk Rarity! It's Arctic.”

“Arctic?!” They all said in disbelieve.

The pony-ghost raised an eyebrow at them. “Of course it's me idiots! Just because I transformed in my true form doesn't mean that Iam a totally different person now.” Arctic added dryly.

“Ok, we all get it now.” Applejack added “but what did ya turned into Arctic?

“A Windigo.” He replied.

“A what?” Flutterhsy asked, revealing herself behind the pillow.

Arctic sighed and took deep breath. Ready explain everything to his girlfriend and his new friends.

At the orphanage, Mallory finds out that 'the key' has been stolen from the secret room. “It appears that Arctic Ice's vision was right all a long.” He quickly ran back to his office to grab a certain book with his emblem of Chaos at the center. Mallory sat down behind his desk opens the book and started writing in it.

“It won't be long before we see each other again.... sister.” He thought grimly.

At the edge of the city the army started to enter Canterlot. The people in the city thought at first that the army of green skeletons was some sort of a parade. But that quickly changed when the army started throwing trash cans on the streets, breaking cars open, cutting down trees... This made everyone run for their lives. The drivers of some cars, were brave enough to ram some of the skeletons. But were soon overrun by the more skeletons and to make things worse the skeletons that were rammed by cars were putting themselves back together.

There was chaos everywhere!

Above the city were Screwballs and the Flash-demon looking down at the helpless civilians.

“Ah chaos such a wonderfull, wonderfulll thing!” Screwballs said happily.

She looked a the Flash-demon a had and evil grin on her face. “Time to set the next part of my plan in motion.” She thought.

“Go! Find your lover: Twilight and bring her to me. Leave the rest of the girls to me and the army. If you find Artic Ice KILL HIM!!! She order the Flash-demon.

The Flash-demon bowed to her. “It will be done.” and he flew away looking for Twilight's home.

“So let me get this straight.” Applejack said. “You are a ghost-pony?”

“Who used to feed on the negative engery from ponies to create a cold snowstorm?” Sunset commented.

“From an alternate world called Equestria?” Rarity added.

“You got banished when you were 12 years because you found it wrong what you and the other Windigo's did?” Pinkie said with her hair flat.

"And everytime your eyes turned red you... you feel your hatred or hatred of others nearby that you can feed on?" Fluttershy bravely added.

Arctic lowered his head an looked away. “Yeah pretty much it.” He comfirmed. “I didn't saw the harm in it at first. But when I was 10 years old I saw 7 ponies who look like you all. They're having so much fun. I wanted that too! I wanted Friendship and Love. My parents however didn't agree with this. We are Windigo's we need that negatieve energie otherwise we'll die! We can't survive on Friendship and Love that's what we hate.” He explained.

“When I was 12 years old I refused to do this any longer. I got in a fight with my parents... which ended up me being banished to this world. Then Starswirl, Zecora and Clover found me. They took me in learened me how to use my human body correctly and taught me everything that I needed to know about this world. But the love and friendship I wanted was gone. My parents, my own mother and father betrayed me, their son and banishing him to a world unknown. Since then I became a cold person.” Arctic continued while a small tear came out of his eye.

“After some time. I was getting sick, very sick... I... was about to die.” This made the girls gasp and making Twilight hugging Arctic. “I couldn't feed on the hatred of other people anymore. Because you know... no Magic here. Or so I thought. It made me weaker everyday. During that time Mallory found me. He said he could cure me for free but that means I had to leave Starswirl, Zecora and Clover... I was stubborn at first and didn't want to leave them. But they encouraged to go anyway.”

“So Mallory brought you to this orphanage?” Fluttershy guessed.

Arctic nodded. “Yes, with his powers Mallory manipluated me so that I can survive on human food here and that I don't need human hatred in order to live. Don't be shocked but the orphanage is actually a sanctuary for all the creatures that got banished from Equestria.”

“What!” They exclaimed.

“But everyone there seems normal, ordinary children and teenagers.” Twilight defended.

Arctic shooks his head. "Not all of us have magic, some people are from this world and promised not to tell anyone about the orpahanages magic it contains." He retorted. “Now Twilight, haven't you ever wondered why I told you to watch out when Adagio, Aria and Sonata sing?”

“Euhm” Was all she could say.

Arctic pinched the bridge of his nose. “Because they are former sirens from Equestria.” He told them.

Rainbow burst out laughing. “Hahaha! Yeah right it's hard to believe that you are a Wintergo from some alternate world called Equestar but come on sirens?! Hahahaha!!!”

Arctic gave her a dissaproving look. Rainbow waved her tears of laughter away. “Come on Arctic, you can't be serious.” She said.

“I am serious Dash and I am a Windigo not a Wintergo.” Arctic urged.

“He's telling tha truth Rainbow!” Applejack defended.

“Yeah right AJ, next thing he's telling us that demons exists and that Flash is innocent...”

A loud kracking sound was heard above them. Looking up they see the ceiling being ripped away from the house revealing the Flash-Demon flying above them. A heavy wind rushed through the house and dark clouds covering the blue sky. In his hands he helds with his magic the roof of Twilight's house. “Found you!” He said with an evil grin on his face and started laughing. A laugh that Twilight was all to familiair with.

“F-F-Flash?” She said in fear.

The Flash-demon threw the roof away while looking at her. “You come with me Twilight Sparkle! My master has big plans for you!” He orded.

“Not going to happen!” Said a voice behind him. Before Flash-demon looks behind him. Arcti windigo form hid a pressure point in the neck of the Flash-Demon to make him loose concsiousness. But nothing happend. Making Arctic's eyes widen in surprise.

“Like my enhanced body? My master Screwballs made me immune to your tricks.” He explained. “You have stand too long in my masters way. Now I'll end you ensuring that her plans will not be intterupted by you Ice-cube!”

He grabbed Artcic with his big hands and began to squash him. “Don't bother trying to go intangible Arctic! As long as I hold you, you can't use your powers.”

Arctic was turned back into his human form and slowly losing more and more oxygen. He could hear his friends, including Rainbow pleading for the Flash-demon to stop.

“STOOOOOOOOOP!!!” Twilight screamed, making the Flash-demon looking at her.

“I'll come quietely if you let him live.” She reasoned with the Flash-demon.

He looked at Arctic and back at Twilight, who was now surrounded by her friends and her family who came to see what that loud noise was.

“There's no way I let my daughter being taking away by you... monster!” Night Light said and Velvet agreed.

“You want to get to Twilight, you need to get through us you big meanie!!!” Pinkie said with full confidence. Her friends, Shining armor and Cadance agreed.

This made the Flash-demon laugh. “Pathetic!” He threw Arctic away, who was now unconscious.

“ARCTIC!!!” Twilight cried as she was grabbed by the Flash-demon's magic.

"Give my little sister back!" Shining exlcaimed.

"I don't take orders from you." The Flash-demon mocked and turned his attention to Twilight's friends. "Don't worry about her you'll see her soon... If she survives." Making all her friends gasp. "My Master will come for you and there's nothing that you can do to stop him" and he flew away with Twilight in his hands.

Meanwhile at the orphanage.... Mallory saw on the TV that Canterlot is being invaded by an amry of Skeletons. "So my sister is already making her first move." He said to himself. "Good thing I took precautions for situations like this." He orderd Anthony, Iron, Trixie and the Dazzlings to take all the young ones to the secret room. There, Nightmare Moon, Discord, Chef Gustave Le Grand and Nurse Sweetheart helped the children with their needs.

"And so our fight begins...." Mallory said as he sees Canterlot including the orphanage being engulfed in a giant magical sphere.
