"So, mind telling me where the hell am I?" Jack asked, trailing behind Frost.

"Your in Equestria. Home of Princess Celestia, Princess Luna and the imprisoned Discord. Although, I think they released him and now he's on their side. I can't say for certain."

"Huh. Equestria." He said to himself. "Where I came from, there wasn't any of this." He waved around with a snowy arm. "Just a bunch of assholes with guns, anti-freeze, blowdryers and bug spray. Here, there's just a bunch of literal assholes."

"Not as many as you would think. Now, I suppose I'm going to have to go in?"

"Actually, why not together? Never done a tag team killing."

"But I insist my frozen acquaintance, you are the guest in the land."

"Alright; I wonder if she has any coal for my eyes and buttons?" He Jack pondered.

"I think your about to find out. Were coming up to her farm now."

Jack looked ahead and saw a small rock house with a thatch roof. A small chimney sprouting out from the side, letting a bit of smoke rise into the air. Behind the house was an immense garden.

"Why don't we let her take you in?" Jack asked. "Think about it, I was reckless when I was caught. I think now it's time to play helpless and kill at the same time."

"What a splendid idea!" Cackled Frost. "We act like we were going to buy some vegetables and run into town screaming bloody murder! Brilliant!"

"I think the residents are the ones who'll be screaming bloody murder." Jack pointed out sadistically.

"They won't even get the chance when we catch up." Frost grinned. "Now, how to convince her to let a complete stranger in?"

"I've got an idea, hold still. Oh, and this'll probably make the hair on your butt freeze off."

Carrot Top was silently mixing a pot of water, boiling it for the ingredients. A knock was heard and she looked at the door before noticing a shadow underneath the frame. When she opened it, she put a hoof to her mouth and led the griffon in.

"Can I help you?" Carrot Top asked, brushing some snow off the griffon's coat and feathers.

"Yes... Actually. I came here to buy some carrots, if there are any for sale? All I need is one for some soup I was going to make." The griffon smiled innocently.

"Oh, why don't you take this one," she handed him a straight carrot from the bunch. "It's... Where'd all the snow on you go?" She asked, looking at the now smirking griffon, who was sharpening his talons. "Did it just get colder in here? Or is it just me?" She smiled nervously.

"Actually, I think it's me."

She was picked up by a set of cold, white mitten like hands. She was turned around and immediately started to scream before the griffon shoved a stalk of celery down her throat.

"I'll take that." The snow man said, taking the carrot from her. He looked at her, shaking in his grasp. "Calm down, what's your name?"

She stopped and muffled her name, tears streaking down her eyes from the lack of air.

"Carrot Top, now, you look a bit cold." He caste a glance towards the boiling pot of water. "I know what'll make you feel better. Some nice hot, carrot soup!"

Before her eyes could even widen he threw her into the boiling stew pot and Frost slammed the lid down, holding it until the kicking stopped.

He opened the lid and looked inside to see Carrot Top, her coat bubbled in places, exposing blistered and bubbling skin. Her eyes, shriveled up in her head.

"Just like momma used to make." Jack said. "Come on Frost, we've got to play our part again."

"Forgetting something?" Frost tossed Jack some coal stones.

"About time." Jack mumbled, placing the stones in the correct places. "And done! Now I'm complete again."

"Yes, but is that the only look you have?" Frost asked, rolling his talon.

"I don't know. I can do a puddle. Never tried anything else before." Jack Shrugged.

Snow started to melt off him, forming a puddle around the base. His arms thinned and patches of blue ice formed, making sleeves as bony fingers came out from hands. Each finger ending in a blue tip of ice, the bone visible further back. His chest became thinner, the snow only adding to the liquid at his feet. It became blue ice too, with black ice right above the collar leading to his head.

His head had lost most of the mass but kept the white snow inside it. His coal eyes fell off, replaced by two light green ones with pin prick pupils, almost sinking impossibly deep into his head. His carrot nose sticking out, a few ice-sickles hanging off. He didn't have any ears, but his hair had been replaced with black ice, every piece sticking back in a razor point. His jaw formed, exposing large, gleaming, white teeth that spread wide.

He examined himself, from his slush feet to his new head. He gave a grin and a hoarse laugh.

"Looks like I got myself a new look after all." His grin, going up to where his ears would be made a crack in his face. "Come on Frost, lets go mingle with the locals."

"I have a feeling were going to be the interest of the towns folk, atleast until they discover the bodies."

They both made their way out, Jack closing the door and locking it with snow before taking that back and following Frost. Jack had his arms crossed behind his back as his two legs slid through the snow. He looked over and saw Frost shaking a bit.

"Little cold?" He asked cheekily.

"No... I'm burning up." He rolled his eyes.

"Guess you wont mind if I cool you-the hell is that thing racing towards us?"

Jack got a confused and slightly worried look on his face before noticing it was another pony.

"Time to act." Jack said out of the corner of his mouth.

Pinkie bolted up to them, sparing a curious glance and extremely physical snooping on Jack. He set her down and let her talk.

"What are you? I've never seen anything like you before? Where'd you come from? Are there more of you? Who's your-"

"Please!" Frost cried, gripping her shoulders, his eyes wide in fake panic. "You've got to help us, there's been a murder!"

She stopped talking, her smile fell and her pupils shrunk to pin pricks.

"M-Murder...?" She whispered.

"Yes, very tragic. We found a woman seemingly boiled to death in her own home." Jack said, his green eyes looking downward. "She was a farmer, small house, big garden of vegetables. An orange hair due and yellow fur. You know her maybe?"

"C-Carrot Top!?" She began to panic, her little heart giving up. "Come with me! The killer might still be out here! It's not safe for you two!"

She grabbed the two unknown murderer's and rapidly dragged them to town. She didn't notice though, that she was only dragging Frost and Jack's arm she had torn off. He was left there, face-palming with his free hand before melting down and following.

Poor Frost was being pelted by snow while the pink mare ran. She finally stopped, right in the middle of the street.

"Oh no! They go the freaky and slightly ugly thing I just met!" She said, cradling his arm.

"I'm not dead ya dumb bitch. Now," Jack rose from the ground, everyone in the vicinity turning to the snow monster. "I think you have something that belongs to me?" He extended his attached arm.

"Whoops, sorry." She gave a small smile as he reattached his arm. "What was I doing again?"

"You were about to go nutty and start yelling about your friend." Jack said sarcastically.

"Oh yeah..." Her face became expressionless. "Help! Carrot Top's been murdered! Somepony killed Carrot Top!" She cried, lunging at the griffon.

He gave a slight grimace but rubbed her back as she cried into his feathers.

The crowd around them was standing still, eyes wide as some of the hurried off to tell others. Eventually, five ponies came though.

"Pinkie! What happened? What happened to Carrot Top?" Twilight asked.

"S-She's been murdered...!" Pinkie cried, letting go of the griffon and sitting in the snow.

"M-Murdered? There hasn't been one in Equestria for only a few days... And the culprit was sent to be executed today." She explained.

Jack looked at Frost, Frost returned a wink. Jack went back to looking saddened by the events even if he was relishing them.

"So, who are these guys?" Rainbow Dash asked, flying up to Jack. "Or better yet, what is this thing?"

"The one to give you a serious case of frostbite if you don't get out of my face." Jack said, making his teeth longer.

"Please, you and what army?" She smirked.

Multiple snowmen rose from the ground around them, snowballs with teeth and green eyes filling in the gaps. They both looked shocked, but Jack had his his well hidden before a smile cracked his head again.

"Does that answer your question?" They all spoke in unison. He raised a hand and lowered it dramatically, making his army disappear.

"Now that was awesome." She said. "Alright, you made your point. Backing off now." She smiled, landing on the ground.

"I'll go write to the princess," Twilight said. "Pinkie, why don't you welcome Mr... I'm sorry, what are your names?"

"Iron Wing." The griffon replied.

She nodded and looked at the snow man, staring at his teeth and green piercing eyes.

"Jack Frost, madam." He gave a bow, letting a quick smile flash before raising himself up again.

"Well, before Pinkie brings the welcome wagon. Why don't you two go with Rarity to Sugarcube Corner?" Twilight sighed, rubbing away a tear forming.

"That sounds delightful." They both replied.

"Well, this way then. The guards will be here soon." Rarity said.

Inside themselves, both of the killers were smiling uncontrollably, wanting nothing more then to kill the town.

'Looks like a killer blizzard just arrived. And this time,' Jack thought, plucking two twigs off the ground and placing them above his eyes. 'Locking your doors wont do you any good.'
