Vengeance 3: Wrath of the Blizzard Prince

In the dazzling city of Canterlot, everyone was preparing for a full two weeks of being alone. Reason being, Princess Twilight Sparkle was going to Maretonia for that time because she had royal business to attend to with the King and Grand Duchess of that kingdom, meaning Spike, Captain Nathan, and Sergeant Zodiac were being placed in charge temporarily until she returned. Princess Twilight had managed to get most of her belongings packed and ready, her carriage had been inspected and cleaned up for departure, and the Pegasus guards that flew it were in their harnesses and prepared for take off.

"Now, before I depart, you do remember to patrol the streets and the castle right?"

"Yes your majesty." said Zodiac.

"And Nathan, you do hope to do the evening rulings?"

"Don't worry Aunt Twilight, Ah've got your back, and Kyle said he'll be right over with some of his men to help us out."

"And Spike...."

"Yes, I will be around them as well."

"That's good to hear."

Twilight then hopped on board her carriage.

"See you all in two weeks!" she said as the Pegasus guards flapped their wings and lifted the carriage, soon, Twilight turned away from their view as Nate and the others watched her take off into the sky and disappear into the clouds.

"I just hope you remember how to do this captain." said a guard.

"Don't worry, with mah' friend bringing us help, what could go wrong?"

"A creature taking advantage of it all." said Zodiac.

"Don't worry Zodi, we got this all covered, Twilight's taught us everything." said Spike.

"All right, since we are in charge of the kingdom, the best thing for us to do right now is to patrol the streets."

"With a little help from my men." said a familiar voice, Nathan and the others soon turned to see that Kyle had made it over with a medium sized garrison of SWAT officers.

"Kyle, you made it." said Spike.

"Anything to help out you all, I brought some of the best professionals over here with the most advanced weaponry." Kyle said pointing to his men who had tasers and advanced scope rifles clutched in their hands, Nathan and the others could not have been more grateful to have him here once again.

Zodiac stood in front of the posse, posing up straight to make a quick and simple announcement.

"All right listen up everypony, Princess Twilight has put all of us in charge of ruling Equestria while she is gone, and we need to prove to her that we are willing to make an exception for her. We are going to see to it that each and everypony can look up to us to protect them from whatever gets in our way."

"Yes sir." all the guards said.

"Assisted sections have been put in place, Captain Nathan will now direct them to you!" said Spike as he walked beside the massive crowd of guards.

"Team 1, y'all will patrol the south side!"

"Team 2 takes the west!"

"Team 3, takes the east!"

"Team 4 does the north!"

"Final team with me, Zodiac, and Spike, at hearing!?!"

"YES SIR!"

"NOW MOVE OUT!" yelled Zodiac as the teams departed for their assigned patrolling areas, Nate, Spike, and Zodiac took their team towards the castle.

"Do you really think we have a reason to patrol?" asked Spike, "I mean, we haven't had a massive attack in four years."

"Hey, just because we defeat villains does not mean we're free." said Zodiac, "There is always a new form of evil next in line, just waiting for their chance at anything."

"Exactly."

"And for the next two weeks, we're gonna be sure that our magic stays where it belongs!" said Nathan.

Later that evening, it had been all clear and clean for the guard team on the east side of the city, but they had to see to it that Canterlot stayed that way, so they resumed. As a few guards were hoofing down the street, a sudden noise from an alleyway stopped them dead in their tracks, it sounded like someone or something knocked over a pile of stacked bricks.

"What was that?" asked one guard immediate at the sudden sound.

"I'm not sure, it sounded like something crashed in this alley."

"Come on you all!" they all then walked into this alley with spears in their hooves, ready for whoever or whatever was there would not prevail. They kept strolling through the alleyway until the same sound they heard just two seconds earlier was heard again!

"WHOEVER IS HERE, COME OUT AND SURRENDER!" yelled a guard.

"DO NOT HAVE ANY WEAPONS ON YOU!" screeched another.

As the guards slowly approached the end of the alley, they did not even bother noticing a back door from a deserted building was opened as they walked past it. As they did, the last guard behind the rest and past the unnoticed open door was quickly sucked in, causing him to gasp in shock. The rest of the remaining guards froze in terror at the sudden sound of the gasp and that's when they took look at the open door.

"Hey, guard?" said one as they walked in through the open door into the building. Once they all carefully entered, they were spooked at what they were entering, this building was dripping with water, bugs everywhere, broken windows and furniture busted. Their main focus though was to find what had just happened to the last guard that was behind them outside.

"Guard?" one asked again, there was still no reply, without warning, a shadowy figure came out. The remaining eastern side patrol were now afloat with horror as they pointed their spears at the figure, what they did not realize is that this creature had led them into a trap because his arms were now showing as the guards watched them powering up. The room temperature soon began dropping cold as they shivered in their armor, the cause was what appeared to be ice forming from the creatures arms. Before the guards could even make a move at him, the shadowed creature fired the arms of cannon ice at them, in a matter of seconds, the guards were frozen into solid crystal ice statues, as for the guard that vanished, the creature had quickly gagged him, tied him up, and removed his armor.

"Now I must find my way into that bloody castle, and thanks to my powers, I can get in easily!" said the creature revealed to be none other than The Blizzard Prince. He quickly scanned the body of the tied up pony guard and used another kind of power he had that he could use to shape shift himself into other creatures, like the changelings. The Blizzard Prince used this power to his advantage and turned himself into the guard he had tied up, putting on the guard's armor as well.

"And before I start turning Equestria into a frozen shit hole........." he activated his morphed arm and blasted his ice cannon at the gagged guard turning him into a block of ice as well.

"With this disguise, I'll have no trouble finding the magic library!" he said as he chuckled evilly. The Blizzard Prince then departed out of this wretched building and out into the empty dark streets, most ponies who were out and about didn't even know what was about to happen though.
