Lynn looked down at the bottom of the mountain. They had climbed it and where so high up she began to fell dizzy. Suddenly a scratchy voice broke her trance, "Lynn! Move your plot so everypony else can climb the mountain!" Pony yelled up to her sister.

Lynn shuttered and let everypony else pass her. Soon she was in the back of the line and shivering. Lynn decided to do the only thing she could to calm herself, she belted out a song, "Broken glass inside won't cut through me. Pain behind my eyes I turn into strength. Oh I will fight, I will survive."

"I'm invincible, I'm unbreakable, I'm a diamond cut to last, I'm unstoppable, I'm a hero! Like a phoenix fr-" Lynn was suddenly interrupted.

"Will you please!?" Pony yelled from the front of the line. She looked up as a few rocks threatened to move.

"Let's keep it down. According to my map, we're entering an avalanche zone. The smallest peep could cause a huge rock slide." Snow grinned, trying to mimic a random purple unicorn's voice.

"Nice..." Pony said.

They climbed higher and higher untill they were about a quarter up. Suddenly a small slightly dangerous bolder rolled down the hill and landed at Lynn's hooves. She gasped, "I'M LOST!!!"

"Lynn!" Pony turned around, her sudden halt caused everypony else to stop, "why is everypony getting to do something funny but me?"

"Cause your the hero!" Lynn giggled, she shoved the rock over the side of the mountain. Midnight tried to stop her.

"Don't do that, somepony down there could get hit." Midnight said.

"I hope they packed an umbrella." Pony shrugged, "besides this is a fanfic. Everyone know you can do stupid stuff in a fanfic and get away with it."

Our eight hero's continued up the mountain until it became night time. They set up camp with there only tent, everypony kind of wished they'd brought food. All they had to eat was three day old arcade popcorn.

"What do you mean we get 10 popcorn cornels?" Snow asked.

"We need to save up our rations." Thunder replied.

"Plus...some of us could stand to lose a little weight." Pony said, "not naming names but...Lynn...."

"Hey!" Lynn yelled, Pony always made mean jokes about her, they were offensive but Pony didn't really mean them, "I don't eat donuts all day."

Pony tried to cool the burn she had just received, "well ohm...I..."

Lynn smiled triumphantly, Pony shrugged and ate her popcorn. Everypony was silent as they ate quickly. Once they had finished they began to get ready for bed.

Suddenly a howl rang out into the night. The eight ponies looked around wondering where the sound was coming from. Pony shivered and looked to the night sky. The boys didn't seem the least bit shaken, neither did Tension Prime.

The morning Sun rose majestically and cast it's warm light over out heros! Alas, it was not warm enough to take away the coldness of last night. The tried to stay close and keep warm as they continued up the mountain.

"Tell me again, why are we here?" Snow asked.

"Because I think this pla-" Pony began to awnser but was interrupted.

"I was being rhetorical." Snow sighed, "it's just so cold up here."

"The air gets colder the higher you go up." Nights said.

"And there is your whacky weather fact of the hour, thank you for watching the weather channel." Pony joked.

"I really think we should just focus right now." Midnight Sapphire said.

"What fun is there in making sense?" Lynn smiled as she leaned up to Midnight, he smiled down at her. Pony made a gagging sound.

"Really?" Thunder joked.

"I'm not into al that romance stuff anyway." Pony shrugged, "plus I'm not sure about how I feel about you right now."

Thunder nodded and walked away from her. Pony hopped up and down as everyone walked. She stoped when she heard a rumble sound. She looked up and a few small pebbles tumbled down below.

"This could be really dangerous..." Zeff trailed off.

"Then shhhhhhh." Pony whispered.

They walked up the mountain in silence. Snow fell hard upon the ground, "you ok Snow?" Pony asked.

"Yeah I'm fine." Snow stood up and shook herself off.

They continued their climb while the blizzard proceeded overhead, Lynn tried to keep her hair from blowing around. They all stopped in their tracks as a dark figure appeared in the air. The mysterious pony was flouting from unicorn magic, her horn glowed and a magical beam shot at the rocks on the mountain.

Snow and rocks fell towards the eight ponies, our heros ran in opposite directions. The mysterious pony vanished in a puff of smoke. The snow continued to fall down the mountain, once it stoped, snow blocked the path. Pony looked at it from her angle, she had no idea where her friends were.

Pony looked around and sighed, she would have to continue by herself. But what if her friends were still alive? She wouldn't let them be alone. Suddenly she felt herself being teleported away by a magical beam.
