[Frozen North.]

[Day 35.]

  It was cold. Colder the anything the scum monsters ever felt. Even to some of the warm blooded monsters it was unbearable. The wind felt like knives hitting them against their faces. Snow rained down on the monsters and ponies with fury. The sky soon became dark and our heroes have been wondering in the snow for what seemed like hours. Frostbite soon started to form on the monsters and ponies. Their skins discolored slightly and their movement became slower. All the monsters and ponies started to shiver and their teeth started to chatter. The wind pushed them further into the snowy mountains, as if it was guiding them to sanctuary or their death. Soon, the sky was pitch black, nothing but Nicks fire lighting the way for our heroes but even his fire was beginning to burn out from the freezing temperatures. Nick pushed himself to the middle of the group so that he and the others could see if anyone or anypony wondered off. So far, no one was missing. All the ponies huddled into Nicks chest, using his fire to keep warm for as long as possible. The snow started to come down harder, the wind starting to pick up. It wasn't even considered a nightly storm now. It was a blizzard and a bad one at that. Nick, because he is the only one that could see, spots a dark cave next to him and his group. He stops, gaining growls of annoyance from Marco and Harry that were behind him. He snarls at them and points to the cave. Looks of tired happiness swept across their faces as they proceeded into the cave. George, Lizzie, and Ralph, stopped and looked back. They soon followed.

  Inside the cave, it wasn't much different from outside. The cold was still unbearable but at least no wind was or heavy snow was coming down on top of them. Everyone, to tired and cold to move, laid themselves on the icy wall caves. Nick sat in the center and let his friends crowd around him. The ponies were in his lap, huddled together still. Twilight, opened one of her eye lids and gazed apon her giant friends. She was shocked to see Marco had gone almost completely white and his eyes were bloodshot. Twilight saw that he was giving an expressionless look that sent a chill up her spine. She whispered to him.

"Marco?"

  The shark looked down. His voice was raspy and much lighter then it was.

"W-what...I-is it...doll?"

  Twilight could feel tears swell up in her eyes. Her friends looked as though he was about to die.

"Are...you okay?"

  The shark started to laugh slightly. Coughing soon mixed with it. The monsters looked up to their friend. They knew he hated the cold and how much it affected his body. George looked himself over, his skin turned pail slightly but he wasn't as cold because of his fur. He then looked and saw Boris, and Ruby who were doing just as bad. Marco spoke again, snapping George back to attention.

"Hey...d-don't worry...ab-about m-me d-doll. I-Im gonna b-be just f-fine."

  Twilight didn't believe him. The tone in his voice, the way he looked, how he was acting, Marco wasnt alright. He was dying. The shark moved his fin over toward the pony in Nicks lap. Twilight flinched as he begun to rub her ear in comfort, looking down at her with the most jovial look Marco has ever given. Twilight then grabs Marcos fin and hugs it tightly. She didn't even feel heat from the limb. Marco pulled back his hand placed it on his knee. George looked back and saw Boris and Ruby had stopped shivering and were now not moving at all. The ape shut his eyes and pulled his head away, not wanting to see it. Marco then laid in his back, placing his fins on his stomach and smiling. Twilight quickly ran over to the shark and looked at him dead in the eye as he shut them, letting out a breathe. Marcos chest lowered under her, however, it didn't rise again. Moments passed and still no rise. Twilight felt tears running down her face and she began to cry so loud the entire cave heard her. Tears fell from her face and hit the sharks belly. George took one last glance over to the Boris and Ruby, Curtis was crying as well on his knees in front of the two as he laid them on their backs. The ape didn't know what else to do, he grabbed the weeping pony from Marcos frozen body and placed her back in Nicks lap, her friends cradling her and shedding tears of their own. A fiery drop of fire hit Nicks knee, George looked up to see the demon crying as well. Lizzie was in Ralphs arms balling while the wolf fought back tears of his own.

  The next morning came and the rest of the monsters along with the ponies gathered outside of the cave, sun shining down on their faces. All watched as Nick and George created an avalanche to bury the cave in snow, leaving behind three of their friends inside to rest. Ralph howled to the sky, the echo going through the mountains like a pinball. The mane six watched as the monsters unleashed their roars in honor of their fallen comrades. George turned to Ralph.

"You still have the trial?"

  Ralph narrowed his eyes and snarled. He sniffed the air and growled.

"Oh...I've got it." Ralph growled.

"Well in that case...lets go give Bubba a warm welcome to Equestria." George said. Cracking his knuckles.
