Something really bad was happening in Canterlot because now the whole east side patrol had been frozen in ice, to make matters worse, the one responsible for it had morphed himself into a guard that he had tied up and froze. The Blizzard Prince could now have easy access into the headquarters where all the most powerful magic spells were kept, here he was walking through the streets of the city passing by other guards who thought he was really a guard, which is what he wanted them to think. As he walked up and approached the doors that opened up into the castle library, he first checked to see if there were any guards looking or approaching, which to his gratefulness, there were none since the library was the least guarded area of the whole castle.

With one swift motion, The Blizzard Prince switched his shape shifted hoof back into his hand and used his cold powers to freeze the locks off the doors, then he was soon inside without hesitation, looking to find the books that contained the powerful spells to overthrow alicorns. What he did not know however was that the books he was about to go through, they had belonged to Starswirl the Bearded and since Starswirl had died years ago, Twilight had taken them for a bit, but she decided to pass them on to Nathan, so they were now Nate's books.

Once they were found, The Blizzard Prince then sat down and quickly went to work opening all of them up and taking notes with a pad and pen he had brought with him on his journey. Meanwhile, outside in the corridors, Nathan was patrolling through all alone now, he had sent Spike and Zodiac with the rest of the guards down one other direction of the castle for patrolling because he had to do this spot all alone. He also managed to have his horn lit up for use as a flashlight so he could see where he was going, as he strolled through the corridors, he noticed something strange when he looked outside the window. The doors that opened up into the castle library looked like they had the locks removed and were busted open, Nate quickly figured that something was not right, so he walked down the direction that led straight towards the library.

It did take a bit since the castle was enormous, but he finally managed to make it to the hall that led to the library. Once he went out the exit and approached the busted opened doors, he slowly but carefully walked inside to see what had happened, he now had a suspicion that someone or something had broken in here and whatever it was, it was not for the sake of good. As he approached the west section of the building, he noticed some kind of shadow glowing from a lit light showing on a corner wall, Nathan was now shocked as he realized that light was coming from HIS QUARTERS!!!!!!!!!

Nate slowly walked over towards the room that was his office with an angered expression on his face, once he was at the door, he got a quick glimpse of the one who busted in here. He attempted to reach for a spear, but took notice that his spear was actually in his office, right behind the creature just within reach, Nathan quietly entered the room and loudly cleared his throat to get the creature's attention.

"Just one sec." said the creature pointing his left finger up upon hearing the throat clearing, yet not even looking.

"You sure as hell ain't no librarian or guard, so you better start talkin' before Ah' break that finger six different ways and stick it right where the sun don't shine."

"Captain Nathan Cadenza, right?" asked the creature as he kept his focus on the spell books.

"That's right," Nate answered, "Ah'm also the last pony on earth who's books ya' wanna be snoopin' around in. Ya' just earned yourself a dance with the Cerberus boy, you're under arrest."

"I don't care about your bloody books." replied the creature, "I'm in here looking for spells that can kill alicorn asses, especially the ones who crippled my father."

"The ain't no damn magic that defeated your father, it was friendship. And the pony responsible was not who ya' think it was, it was another pony, and she's long gone somewhere else."

The creature gave an annoyed growl, "It's time for all this friendship rubbish to end for good, you all may have defeated previous enemies, but I'm one enemy you or your fucked up pony family will never defeat, not even with your so-called friendship."

"Friendship is what Equestria was founded on!"

The creature then folded a paper written with spells he had found, "The ponies were right, you are a terrible liar!" he said quickly flipping a table over and began to engage Nathan in a brawl. This brawl was far beyond anything Nate had experienced from previous fights because the creature he was battling had an icy cold touch and every time their limbs or faces made contact with sense. They went out punching and bucking until Nathan grabbed the creature and then leaped over a wrack onto a lowered section of the library which contained glass tables, Nathan overpowered the creature despite his icy touch and managed to break a table into pieces as they crashed onto it. The table was made of solid glass as well, because once it broke to pieces, the glass shattered all over it.

"Damn worthless phony librarians!" Nathan said through clenched teeth, pinning the creature to the floor. It did not stay that like the way it was because the creature managed to pick up a piece of shattered glass, using it to his advantage and slicing Nathan's hind legs causing him to squeal in agony. The creature saw the moment and leaped onto the ceiling, breaking a light off the ceiling and smashing it on Nathan's head, the impact from the force of the light made him stumble backwards onto a couch and fell back.

Luckily, Nate managed to get back onto his hooves and quickly starting firing blasts of magic at the creature who was getting further from his reach. But the thing was, the creature's cold touch was not the only thing that was dangerous, he also could protect himself with ice and show walls that he could form from his winter cuffs on his arms, and that is exactly what happened. No matter how hard or many times Nate blasted rounds of magic, the creature was able to block each round with an ice wall, suddenly, Nathan was joined with Spike and armed S.W.A.T. forces Kyle sent because they had seen the library's doors as well.

"HALT!!!!!!!" yelled one officer as he fired a gun.

"ON ME!" Nate shouted as he continued blasting rounds of magic at the enemy, when they weren't looking, the creature reached into his pocket, pulled out a small explosive device and activated it. He then threw it toward their direction, Nathan could soon see the explosive device and hearing it beep, what was worse, Spike was near it!

"SPIKE!!!!!!!" screamed Nathan as he managed to get Spike and the officers out through a window, the glass shattering as they fell outside onto a parked carriage, crushing the top part as the building exploded. The Blizzard Prince walked over to the blown up section to see his enemies laying unconscious before making a quick escape.

Back on the ground, the group managed to quickly get up, but as for Nathan, he was not so lucky. Despite being an alicorn, he could not be able to flap his wings in time, therefore he was badly injured, his right hind leg was fractured and ribs were cracked really bad.

"Nathan, are you okay?!" asked Spike as he tried to help his cousin up, but it was no use, Nathan was in too much pain to get up.

"What do we do?!" asked Spike in great concern.
