STILL DONT OWN ANYTHING CEPT MY OCS (Freezin and DuskHeart) AND PLOT OUTSIDE OF THE EPISODES.

Freezin's POV

I saw Twilight running out of town hall and I decide to follow her, I'm still dazed at the attack, so I walk around back and forth like, hoping nopony can see me. I eventually fall over and decide to just lay there. my head still hurting. I suddenly feel myself being lifted, by a pegasus? magic? I can't even tell. Must be magic, cuz I only feel the air around me, noone's hooves till about five second when the magic dispersed. "It's okay surgarcube, I got ya." "Thank Celestia somepony found me, especially someone like Applejack. "Go to the library. Twilight is there, and I'm assuming Rainbow Dash or maybe Dusk Heart saw too." "Dusk Heart? You mean that pegasus from earlier? He got beat up all right, but he's fine." "Good..." I reply before blacking out for a little. And what feels like no time at all, I'm back in the library. "Ughh... Where am I" I asked, still dazed a little. After that, I saw a  faint low of magic, it was magenta colored, and instantly, I felt better. I sat up from the ground which I was now on. Shaking my head, "What happened? I remember getting hit with my own attack and blacking out, not much else." "We have to find these Elements of Harmony Freezin, they're in the Everfree forest. just follow me, I remember where my crater is." Yikes, I didn't think there would be a crater! Geez Celestia, what did you do to the kid...

The group of myself, Twilight, Applejack, Dusk Heart, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie now stood next to a giant crater, and the entrance to the Everfree forest. Celestia did a number on Dusk Heart when I look at a crater, but he's fine now so I shrug it off. "Well, here we are. The Everfree forest, location of the Elements of Harmony. Why do I have this feeling that we're going to be tested" I remark. "Well let's blow this pop stand!" Dusk Heart said excitedly. "Well, I appreciate the help everyone, but I'd prefer I go through this alone now" Twilight said. "Not gonna happen sugarcube! We're sticken to ya like caramel on a candy apple!" Applejack replied walking into the forest. "Especially if there are candy apples in there!" Pinky said, making Twilight and I look at her, "What? Those things are good!" Then we started our trek into the forest.

Now we are at a cliff, nowhere else to go now, the path continuing below us. "Well now what?" I ask, barely spotting the small crack there was below us, breaking the cliff bit by bit. "Look out! I said pushing Dusk Heart off the platform then blasted the crack with ice, slowing it down. "Get off the cliff!" I screamed, allowing the chance to get all of the ponies off the cliff, well most of them, only Applejack and Twilight didn't get off in time, the others (Dusk Heart, Rainbow, Fluttershy, Pinkie, and Rarity) did get off. The ice shattered and the magic connection connecting me with the ice caused me to be pushed back in recoil and, more than I'd like, got shot off the falling piece of cliff. I managed not to get hurt and with the momentum made and iced slide back using various branches, bushes, and magic. When I did get down, I saw Twilight hanging on the cliff, Applejack clinging onto her hooves so she doesn't fall. I didn't catch the beginning of what they said, but I heard Applejack say to let go. "Are you crazy?!" Twilight responded with plenty of panic."No I'm not, what I'm telling you is the honest truth, all you have to do is trust me." And then Twilight did the unexpected, let go. She was caught be Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash though. Good... Wait, that means there are challenges. DANG IT!

15 minutes later (after Rarity's challenge)...

DUSK HEART'S POV:

Well, we went through various challenges and we STILL are not at that castle. We then got to this cave, great. More challenges. "C'mon, let's just go already." We all walked into the cave to find a dimly fire lighted room. Why do I have this feeling that something is coming... "Something's not right..." I feel as if I'm alone in here, but something else, something darker, is watching me. I turn to hope and find my friends there, able to help me. But no one was there. No one. "What the..." Then my wings disappeared. "Ahh!" This isn't funny anymore. Now I'm actually worried. "T-This isn’t funny anymore! Show yourself!" I started to look in all directions, there was no escaping this, no entrance, no exit. Then something dark struck me in the back. I turn to see what it was, but nothing was there. Then again, and again, and again. "S-stop it!" Alright now I'm scared. Then tendrils of purple lightning shot me in all directions. Then Nightmare Moon appeared in front of me. "Give up Pegasus, stop being a foal and give up, there's nothing you can do. Your friends are watching you suffer, and there's nothing they or anyone else can do. Just. Give. Up." Now I'm close to tears, the pain is getting to be too much. And the volts in this lightning are weak, it's the darkness that hurts. And that's how it felt like earlier. "I won't give in..." "You might as well. No one can save you from your suffering demise." Then when everything felt nearly lost, a crash was heard, like the shattering of glass, and a black that glue of cyan with a visible rainbow mane appeared, crashing into Nightmare Moon dispersing her into a shadowy smoke once more. I started to cry at the pain. There has to be a way to get rid of this lightning. Then the thing I didn't think was possible would happen, Rainbow hugged me, FRIGGIN HUGGED ME!!! I mean SERIOUSLY! She basically never opens up to emotion like this, EVER! She regained her color and with a smile shattered the lightning into fragments that fell and shattered onto the floor, this gave me hope, that someone was there, someone I can fight for, someone I can persevere for. The dream shattered, like a rock hitting glass, with me on the floor of the cave and Rainbow not hugging me anymore, or stopped, not wanting the waking members to see her show affection. I think everyone else blanked out on watching, after Rainbow broke the glass.

"Don't ever tell anyone about what happened, got it?" she asked with a light blush on her cheeks. "Got it. Won't tell a soul" I respond. "Ughh... I blacked out watching that, what happened?" Freezin asked, "I think Dash broke whatever was blocking us out and then she did something." "NOTHING HAPPENED!" Both me and Dash said at the same time, too fast I may add, causing us to blush lightly. "Tell us darling, no one else out there will know after all!" Rarity remarked. Fluttershy nodded in agreement, I'm not seeing why she would. Great, now everyone wanted to know. "BOLTING!" I scream before flying off. "HEY WAIT UP!" Rainbow screams before catching up to me. Everyone else looked confused when I looked back, that's good for me. When both Rainbow and I looked back, we didn't notice the searing flames ahead of us and, by accident, accidentally went through them, well I did, Rainbow looked ahead first and stopped last second, I went into the flames, IN TO, THE FLAMES. Well more through it more than anything. I guess I didn't notice anything. Then I noticed when I crashed into a tree, the tree burst into flames, died instantly, didn’t spread, and fell into a river steaming.

Freezin's POV (This won't last long, sorry.)

Wow, my adopted brother (?) just slammed through fire, felt nothing, and killed a tree. How does that work? Anyways, I know wind power will make it spread, animals can't help, we can't burry it with trees, I’m pretty sure giving ANYTHING to it won't EVER help, and my brother is on the other side, magic is the only thing left, and because I don't know if Twilight can use ANY elemental magic, it's up to me. I sigh, hope for the best and attempt a powerful ice spell, Hail Storm. Good news, it worked, bad news. It’s a work in progress spell so it didn't completely kill the fire wall of doom and destruction. Well, maybe wind can help now, especially with ice in it, wait, I know a spell for that! "Hold on to something and or each other!" I scream at the top of my lungs to the others. My horn started to glow that ice blue color it always did, and I tried to focus on summoning a, yes this is what I'm summoning, a blizzard. On a small scale, this should completely screw around with the flames and, in a nutshell, kill them, I feel like they're alive. If this DOESN'T work though, I can be A. blown into the fire, B. lose control of the spell and make a blizzard that CAN cover the Everfree Forest in 5 inches of snow, C. Go magic ballistic, or D. All of the above. The risks are REALLY high here. Well, can't hurt to try. (I'm going to regret saying that) A cloud started to make the area darker, and it started to snow, and I don't mean light, it was pretty much dumping the arctic all over us. Then the wind picked up, causing the snow to be blowing onto the fire 75% directly. The wind is getting really strong now; I feel myself being pushed in the snow, that's not good. I feel myself being thrown off my feet into the remaining flames, which were still and a very large height. The pain started to spike to dramatic levels, I try not to scream so the spell doesn't backfire or I lose control.

Twilight's POV (sorry Freezin's was so short, and yes this POV is gonna happen)

I'm watching Freezin burn, trying to help us cross and stop Nightmare Moon, without giving a care to what may happen to him. Trying not to lose any control and trying not to lose this fight. He is powerful, VERY powerful. I'm pretty much clinging to a tree like any cat would now, the winds were that strong, only someone powerful, like Celestia herself, could conjure up these fierce winds. Now getting back to what's at hand, I feel useless, I can't really help Freezin, despite my magic abilities and training under Celestia. He has a gift I don't have, and knows a type of magic I don't know. He is a pony who can perform elemental magic, a magic rarely used and or mastered. I have to help in some way, and I'm about to let go of this tree, and the others are noticing it. "You're not seriously hoping you can get through this like Dusk, are you? I see you nearly letting go and heading straight into Freezin, which wouldn't be good" Rainbow Dash remarked. I know she's right, if I let go, Freezin may lose focus. I just wish I can do SOMETHING! I hate not having control of these situations, or at least not having to help anyone in them. I started to feel a surge of energy at the thought, almost like it came from deep down in my soul. Then I closed my eyes, and focused, not sure what I'm focusing on though. I reopen my eyes and they started to glow white, like a homing beacon. I'm not sure how I know this, I guess it was because it seemed like the only thing that could change right now, I didn't notice anything else change. Then I saw things, I don't know what exactly they were though, they came in colors though, surrounding the others. There were glows of Orange (Applejack), Cyan (Rainbow Dash), Grass Green (Fluttershy), and occasionally changed to other colors (Rainbow Dash only to be honest). Then I looked at Freezin, he was surrounded in an ice blue color, but it was growing weaker, and the energy from the flames were seeping in. Then I felt my horn glow, and a surge of energy in me sky rocketed to my horn, and blasted an energy bolt at Freezin. thought I would kill him, or at least injure him, but instead, the energy bolt went into Freezin's horn and the ice blue color around him expanded, repaired, and flourished again, it over came the flame's powerful energy, and dispersed it into nothing. I then started feeling weak, almost ready to pass out, I can easily see this in Freezin too, but something else happened, I could almost feel that he's tired, and can almost hear his voice when he's not speaking. This is odd. I'm gonna ask Princess Celestia later if we do find her. I run up to Freezin and instantly I felt a lot better, in a way I cannot explain really, and I can hear Freezin's voice clearly, but he's not speaking. 'Twilight, can you hear me? Don't talk by the way, think it.' Telepathy? Am I going insane? 'Good you figured it out. No you're not going insane, we have a link now, a telepathic link to be exact. And apparently accelerated healing if we're next to each other.' Okay now this is confusing, but I guess it's okay. 'Let's go already! Geez, and I thought I was confused.' So we then walked over to Dusk Heart, who was now napping in a tree, which just happened to avoid the storm completely. 'Wow, what are the odds...' Freezin sends a magical bolt at the branch, causing it to fall and wake up Dusk Heart. "Owww. At least wake me up before you cut down a tree." I giggled and replied "We didn't cut down the tree and we did wake you up, now let's go."

1 Hour of searching and a challenge (Rainbow's) later....

Dusk Heart's POV

After tackling a pegasus, crossing a bridge, and a short walk down a path, we FINALLY made it to the castle. All of us walk in to find a pedestal with 5 orbs in 5 arms. "The Elements!" Twilight screamed with joy. Fluttershy, Rainbow, and I brought down the elements. "Hey, there’s only 5!" Pinkie exclaimed. "Then where's the sixth?!" Twilight shouted with panic. All of us turned are heads to find Nightmare Moon. "Why thank you for leading me here," she told us, "It was troublesome to stall you all here so you could be oblivious to me, but it was all worth it in the end. I can destroy the elements and Equestria's last hope for day!" This ticked me off, Nightmare levitated all the elements to her, and I charged in, with Freezin and Twilight, towards the elements. Then I find myself in a new location, teleporting? Well, regardless, Freezin summons his ice armor and a stretch my wings, and prepare to charge in head on, and apparently Twilight is charging in too, yay I'm not alone! Twilight and I charge head on and Freezin throws ice at Nightmare, the ice somehow melted and Nightmare punched me aside. Twilight though, teleported to the elements. Nightmare, realizing the events, quickly teleported to the elements. Twilight made a spark that made the elements swirl around Nightmare, and pushed her towards Freezin. "No, Noo!!" Nightmare stared to panic. I walked over to the others. When I get there, our hope shattered, quite literally at that. The elements stopped spinning around Nightmare, and with a laugh, Nightmare shattered the elements into fragments. I think I saw some fragments, maybe 2, shatter completely, that can't be good. I hear the rest of the girls coming from the stairway behind us. "You think you got rid of the elements Nightmare Moon?" Twilight said with a smirk, causing a slight panic to occur, "Well you didn't! Because the spirits of the elements are right here!" She pointed at the rest of the ponies that just entered, telling them what proved this and that elements, which activated the fragments to swirl around the specific pony. "You still don't have the sixth element though!" "Yes we do! For we had the sixth element all along, the sixth element is!" then a orb like the rest of them floated above Twilight, "Magic!" That caused the elements to form/reform in to a necklace, for Twilight a tiara. The girls started to float/glow, and Freezin and I just stood there in amazement. Then I felt something, like something was about to happen. I'm guessing Freezin had the same reaction because we ran up, jumped, and managed to push Rainbow and Twilight out of the way. This caused the rest of the girls to fall as well. Rainbow and Twilight questioned what happened, Freezin and I instantly knew then, and we answered at the same time, "Loyalty and Magic are cracked, and if you continued, you could have completely shattered the elements and hurt everyone here!" Their reaction was devastating Rainbow got worried and Twilight kept asking if there was anything we could do. "Well I know what I'm doing," I respond, "Not giving up!" Freezin nodded in agreement and we charged strait at Nightmare. I managed to kick Nightmare in the face, causing her to wince, Freezin froze her legs in place and shot ice beams at Nightmare. We had no effect. Nightmare shattered the ice and easily sent Freezin back, armor shattered, with a blast of ligtning. She grabbed me with her magic. "What was that about not giving up?" she asked. She started to have a dark affect spread onto me. I instantly screamed in agony, causing a panicked Rainbow Dash to bolt right next to me. "Stay back!!!" I scream, wanting to keep her and everyone safe. I feel something start to happen, my mane growing colder, my coat growing darker, my eyes glowing a deep purple that scared Fluttershy. Darkness swirled around me and Rainbow, reluctantly, pulled back. My teeth sharpened and grew four fangs. I started to lose my conscious, but I was still awake. I don't understand...

Freezin's POV

"DUSK!!!" both Rainbow and I scream with concern. "Dusk? Who is this Dusk? Oh you mean the body I'm using! Of course..." Dusk(?) said with an evil grin, "I am Death Haven! The frozen fire that penetrates even the most pure of hearts!" He instantly flew up to Rainbow and I and punched us into the wall. "Just to make him suffer! You two are the only  deep connections he has, Freezin for being his brother, and Rainbow for taking him in at a time of need. Fear my wrath!!" He shot a purple fire at me and an indigo lightning at Rainbow. We both screamed in agony! In my mind, I'm screaming for help, and Twilight runs up and shoots the burning fire with a pure light that instantly disintegrates it. She didn't have time for Rainbow though, her mane grew cold and imitated the black color spectrum, her coat changed colors to a deep shade of ebony. Her usual magenta eyes now shined red. "I'd like to introduce you to Flash Blood, or as you may have known her, Rainbow Dash." I saw the new Rainbow Dash, and felt like she was gonna throw me into next week. She kicks my limp body across the room and I black out, the last thing I see is a single tear, shed by Twilight.

"Freezin," a voice said, "Freezin!" "Ughh..." I groan, opening my eyes to a room of white. "Oh dear Celestia, am I dead?" "No," the voice said, when I turn I find Dusk, standing in all his glory, and normal too. "Welcome  to our prison. Rainbow and I are here because of our corruption. You're here because you're the only one who can stop this. Well, with Twilight's help anyway. Now before you ask anything, you're slipping back into consciousness now. You've been out for about 5 minutes. Now listen, Twilight has the enchantment of light, like Celestia. She was born with it by the way. Don't ask how I know this, apparently my dark side knows it. Anyways, if you somehow use your ice to magnify a light blast, you can lib-" "Disintegrate the dark side! That'll work Seeya! I'm waking up now!" And then I'm back in the castle. I wake up, without a pain to my relief, and stand up. Death Haven and Flash Blood didn't notice me, I have to find- 'Freezin! You're okay!' Course I am, now help! Blast a beam of light at my ice! you got one shot! 'Okay!' I make an ice wall that is behind Haven and Flash Blood. "NOW!" I scream causing the duo to look at me. I froze their legs in place and Twilight fired at the ice, causing the light to expand to the walls height and intensify. This caused a dark shadow to be pushed off of the two pegasi as they dropped down from exhaustion. "Okay, let's try this again!" I say as the elements started to glow. The unexpected happened, the element of magic shot a beam strait at my right hoof, forming a bracelet that had my cutie mark (a snow flake) on it on a crystal that looked like diamond to represent my ice colored magic. The element of loyalty also shot into Dusk Heart forming a fire shaped crest on a headband out of what appears to be amethyst, a purple gem stone. I wondered one thing, and Twilight I knew thought it too, why a flame. Then I saw why, he finally had his cutiemark, a purple flame. We all hovered into the air glowing, ready to stop Nightmare Moon. Twilight opened her eyes, which were now pure white, and we fired a rainbow (uhhm, what?) at Nightmare, which enveloped her and dispelled the darkness, which left  another alicorn lying there in her place. "W-We did it, we actually did it" Dusk Heart said, looking awestruck. I walk up to the alicorn with a cresent moon cutiemark, and a background around it representing the endless canvas that is night. I kneel down and work my magic, literally, I start using a heal spell which enveloped the alicorn with my magic. Nobody noticed what I was doing, except for Twilight. She walked up to me. "What are you doing Freezin?" "Healing spell, this alicorn is hurt and has been imprisoned for a long time, her Nightmare imprisoned her before Nightmare Moon ever took place. She is Celestia's sister, Princess Luna" I answer. Twilight was at a loss for words, she couldn't think of anything too say. Then, the weirdest thing, or rather greatest thing, happened, Celestia herself flew through the window and landed next to the other ponies. Everyone except Dusk Heart and myself bowed down. "Uhh why are we bowing down? Is she like our queen or something?" Celestia chuckled at this while everyone else gasped at his defiance. "It's been a few days since I last saw you, isn't it Dusk Heart?" Dusk Heart then looked completely confused. "Uhhm, do I know you or something? Are we related?" Celestia smiled at this comment, "I guess you could say I'm your mother, but I'm not exactly your real mother, it's for... another reason." This made Dusk Heart think for a while. Then I realized that Luna is waking up, I release my magic and walked towards the group. "Fillies and Gentlecolts, I'm glad to introduce to you, Princess Luna, sister of Celestia!" Everyone in the room (except Celestia and the still thinking Dusk Heart) gasped as Luna ran up to Celestia. "'Tia! I was so scared! The nightmares kept me from talking with you and imprisoned me in the process! I was worried about what happened!" Celestia calmed her weeping sister, "It's okay Luna, everything is better now." Then everyone looked at me, except the royal sisters. "How do you know all of this? are you and Celestia, like together or something?" Dusk Heart asked making Celestia and I blush, everyone else smirked or giggled at the comment. "What?! NO!" I said, still in panic. Celestia coughed, still half blushing, I suppose this is alot worse than what could have happened. "Well, I suppose I can give you all knowledge of things that happened" Celestia said as her horn glowed and shot a string of memories at each of us. Knowledge of the sub elements, Twilight's link with me, even what happened with Rainbow and Dusk Heart (instant blackmail, Yes!), flowed into our minds, just one thing had to be given before this was all over. "It is time now, he is a lot stronger than what he was. Give him his memories..." I silently say, everyone unable to hear me except Twilight, Rainbow, Celestia, Luna, and Dusk. "I suppose he is. Everypony stand away from Dusk Heart." Everypony, including the Royal Sisters, stood away from Dusk Heart, everypony except Rainbow and myself. "I-I need to see these memories. I want to know what killed him..." I state, causing a collective gasp from everypony. "H-He died? Then why is he here?" Twilight asked. Celestia sighed, "I'm guessing you all want to see now. This will all be in a 3rd person's point of view, except for Dusk Heart, who will sadly have to relive all of this. In real time this will only take a few seconds, in our time it's gonna take a few hours, everypony stand next to Dusk Heart." Everyone stood closer to Dusk Heart. "Oh, I almost forgot! If I do this spell differently, I could switch you from reliving this to an outsider of this, but you will need a companion with you. Everypony can still watch mind you, so choose wisely." Dusk Heart thought about this, I know who he's gonna choose. "Rainbow, would you like to accompany me through my memories?" She gave a small nod of agreement before standing next to him, wait, are they holding hooves?! Well, I better prepare for the worst, this CAN'T be good.
