The room was dark and drafty. The Commander didn't even know know where he was. Well, he knew that he was hanging in midair with his front hooves chained up above him. "Wh-where am I?" The Commander asked.

"Where else?" An unfamiliar voice called out. "Home, a cell? For all that you know, you could be dead."

With all the courage that he could conjure up, the Commander took a deep breath, "I'm not afraid of you! Whoever you are."

The figure lit up his horn, a dark red aura that began surrounded his neck, "That's what they all say before the true terror happens. And that terror, is me." He revealed his face, which scared the Commander a bit.

"Y-you're that general. Fi-Firefox!"

"So smart of you," General Firefox began compressing the Commander's neck, "But it wont keep you alive for long."

The Commander began choking, "Night-hawk...he will c-crush you..."

Firefox let go of his grip and chuckled, "Ah yes, the so called Defender of Equestria, who killed my best Captain. And now seeks out revenge no doubt."

"You're wrong. He's probably thinking up a plan to kill you and every living traitor that sided with the Dark Empire."

"Those are some brave words for a Commander getting ready to die as a traitor."

The Commander shook his head, "I never served you and I never will!"

All that the General did was roll his eyes, "Very well then." He pulled up a view screen revealing a giant cannon. "Let me ask you something Commander. Have you thought it possible to take the most dangerous, and deadly ice storm in Equestrian history, and fire it from a cannon?"

"That's not possible."

"Oh ye of little faith Commander? This weapon, is what I like to call Equestria's Ice Age. With this weapon, we will throw all of Equestria into a deep freeze, deadly enough to kill the kingdom and will be open for the Dark Empire to reign."

"It'll never work!" The Commander shouted, "The Crystal Empire will still stop you!"

"AND THAT'S WHERE YOU ARE WONG COMMANDER!" Firefox shouted back. He drew his sword and brought the tip of the blade to the Commander's neck, "With this weapon, the Crystal Empire will experience a freeze deadlier than ever, and when they do, they will perish like flies." He put his weapon away and took a deep breath, "Now, on to more important business." Before he continued a larger, and more curved blade approach the Commander's neck, and realized that it was Ruby Rose.

Firefox continued, "We have searched your petty village for the crystal heart, and my spies have reported their findings empty in the Empire. So I must know one thing, where have you hidden the crystal heart?"

"I wouldn't tell you even if my life depended on it."

"Oh? But what of the life of your citizens?"

"What are you-?"

General Firefox transferred the screen to the Commander's village and to a small artillery force outside of that. "Fifty cannons ready to fire on your village. Do you want to save their lives?"

"I- I don't..."

"Then you will tell me where I will find the crystal heart."

"My lord, we should just kill him now." Ruby said as her blade got closer to the Commander's neck.

"Where's the heart Commander?"

The Commander looked at the village on the screen, afraid of what would happen, but Firefox had enough, and activated his comm, "Lieutenant?"

"WAIT!" The Commander sighed, "You must release me first."

Firefox nodded and Ruby cut the chains, but left her scythe around his neck. He knelt down and lit up his horn, focusing his energy to a specific spot. He took a deep breath and as the light dimmed, a shinning crystal stood before them. The light blue, heart shapped crystal was just lying there. Firefox got closer to it and lifted it with his magic, "The power of the deadly ice and winter in my grasp, finally." He looked up at Ruby, "Take this and arm the weapon."

Ruby nodded and took the heart, "With pleasure sir." and teleported away.

The Commander looked up and sighed, and Firefox smiled and drew his sword, "Now, to finish this."

"What are you doing?"

Firefox pulled up his comm, "Lieutenant? Fire at will."

"Understood sir." The Lieutenant replied, "Fire cannons!"

With that one order, all of the artillery cannons began firing at the village.

"No, no YOU TRAITOR!!!"

"Yes, i'm a traitor," Firefox said as he dragged his weapon on the ground igniting sparks, "Everypony has understood that since this war started, and now that I have the heart, its time to put an end to this war."

The Commander screamed his final words, "No, no please? NOOO!" Firefox raised his weapon and killed the Commander, while in the background the village was set to flames, and the camera shut down.
