In the Crystal Empire, the crystal ponies had been forced into a lock down by order of Nathan and Zodiac, some of the guards who were commanded by them had given them a good description of The Blizzard Prince and his venomous ice powers. Now there was massive panic around, in the palace, Skyla and Flurry Heart had looks of concern over not only their brother being badly hurt, but the sake of the rest of Equestria.

"Oh Skyla, how can some creature even have power to poison magic?!"

"For the last time Flurry, I don't know."

"I would hope we can get a cure and a plan of defeat eventually."

"Do not worry princess." said a crystal guard, "We have everypony safe in their homes, plus we have put a shield around the heart."

"I still do not think it is enough."

Before they could go any farther, a sudden sound of screaming coming from behind the closed doors caught their attention, followed by the sudden sound of an evil cackle. The guards protecting Skyla and Flurry Heart readied their spears as Skyla wrapped her sister around her in protection, they could soon hear someone undoing the outside door handles.

"WHOEVER IS OUT THERE COME IN HERE WITH NO WEAPONS, AND YOUR HANDS OR HOOVES IN FULL SIGHT!!!!!!!!!" yelled one guard, on cue, the doors slammed wide open to reveal.........

"The Blizzard Prince!?!" asked Skyla in anger.

"Wh-Why are you here?!"

The Blizzard Prince angrily stormed up to them, the guard tried to stop him, but he easily overpowered them with his ice powers. Even though his powers were poisonous, it was a direct miracle that all the guards patrolling were earth ponies and Pegasus were not affected as it only consumed on unicorns and alicorns combined. On the bad side of it, this was of no right way for Skyla and Flurry Heart as the Blizzard Prince resumed walking towards them angrily and evilly.

"What do you want?!"

"How did you even get here?!"

"I usually always make the weakest and wimpiest ones speak the information to me!" the evil monster said, without a moments hesitation, he snatched Flurry from Skyla's grasp and easily due to him being powerful. He then grabbed her by the throat and pinned her to the wall aggressively!

"HEY, GET YOUR CLAWS OFF MY SISTER!!!!!!!!!!!" Skyla shouted as she ran over to him, but she was not quick enough, for the evil prince blasted his ice at her, quickly freezing her. For Flurry Heart, this was worse enough seeing that the ice was already developing the venomous magic eating bacteria.

"Now, I'm gonna ask, where is Twilight Sparkle?!" he asked through a fused voice.

"S-She left for royal business!" Flurry Heart choked.

"Where?!"

"Why do need to know?!"

"Because, she's the one who put my father in that wretched stone, she's gonna pay one way or another!"

Flurry Heart kept silent on her answering.

"So be it, if you or your creep sibling won't tell me......." The Blizzard Prince then blasted his ice at her as she screamed in terror.

"Twilight Sparkle, I will find you, one way or another!" he said as he left the room, leaving behind two frozen princesses and guards, now feeling symptoms of poisoning. He did not know that she was already back, and was actually in Canterlot with everypony.

Back in Canterlot, Twilight was in the room Nathan was staying in.

"How did all of this happen?"

"Let's just say, it started with one frozen guard to an attack in the library, to me in this hospital bed."

"I would just hope that whoever this Blizzard Prince is, he does not come for destroying anymore magic."

"Aunt Twilight, this monster is out for more than just destroying our magic, Ah've got a feeling he's out for the one who crippled his father, and he thinks it's you."

"But I didn't put the Storm King in that stone, Tempest Shadow did."

"Ah' know, but he still believes it's your fault."

"What about the ponies he's already victimized?"

"We tried to help them, but the venom from his ice crawled into their horns."

Twilight was shocked at hearing this, she could now understand that the Blizzard Prince was on the verge of destroying all the magic in Equestria for a purpose. But now it was much worse than that, for two surviving crystal guards had quickly found their way to Canterlot to warn Nathan what had just happened.

As they landed, they were soon greeted by Spike, Thunder Clash, and Zodiac.

"Guards of the Crystal Empire." said Thunder.

"Yes, we've come here with disparaging news, the Blizzard Prince managed to get through our shields in our kingdom."

"How?!" asked Zodiac, "There's no way that...."

"We've just learned that his ice powers can pertain to Chrysalis's when she took out the shields during the attack here."

"What about the rest of the Crystal Empire, the ponies, Skyla and Flurry?" Spike asked.

"They were......." the guards shook in their armor, having a flashback at what the Blizzard Prince did to them!

"You don't mean he......."

Spike, Zodiac, and Thunder stared at each other in horror, they had quickly figured out what the evil monster had done. He froze them in his ice, and the poisonous bacteria was most likely starting to enter their corpses!

"WE'VE GOT TO GO THERE AND HELP THEM BEFORE THEY DIE!!!!!" Zodiac screamed.

"But we need Nathan for it!" said Spike.

"Him and Twilight."

"Guys!" yelled a couple of guards from nowhere, Spike and the others turned to see the guards approaching them.

"Sergeant, Spike, and Thunder Clash, we have good news."

"What is it?" asked Zodiac.

"Princess Twilight has returned, now we can all find a way to stop this."

"I'm afraid it is worse, from what the crystal guards here say, the Blizzard Prince managed to find his way into The Crystal Empire. He's already poisoned the strength of Skyla and Flurry Heart's magic.

The Canterlot guards were now in deep shock at hearing this as well.

"What do we do?!" exclaimed a guard.

"We're gonna get Twilight and Nathan, and we're gonna go over there and help them out!
