chapter 13

Since Sarah had been teleported out of the dungeon a while ago, Scarab had stayed put and going over what she and the others said.

What had Winter done for this plan other than planning it and order him around to do things?

"Well he..." Scarab began but then remembered he was the one who learnt how to tell if Jack was here or not, remembering he said something about Whitetail Wood's 'wonderland', as some would call it, being there last time he was here.

"Well then he..." Scarab stopped again as be began to pace, thinking about when they got Jack here, but it was him who did it and some Windego back up, not Winter himself.

"In fact I think the most he's done so... so far," Scarab said to himself "Is show himself to Jack and fight with him at the beginning.
'But that doesn't mean that he's going to leave me. Right?"

Telling himself he needs to find out the truth, Scarab shifted into a fly and zipped off to find Winter and see for himself who's right or not.


Up on the roof over looking the terrain, Winter was getting more and more aggravated, that stupid dragon should of killed those two by now and he should of gotten his power from the boy back.

And yet he is still has not got his full powers back.

"Oh that useless dragon," Winter said stomping his hoof making a chain reaction to an avalanche to begin blocking the road back down the mountain.

"If you want something done right you have to do it yourself," Winter said walking back inside when he got a despicable idea, just as an innocent looking fly came into the room and landed on the wall. "Or I could get that useless Changeling to do it. That way if he dies too, he will think I hadn't betrayed him. Ha! Genius. Genius Winter, I just need to find that bug and set him the challenge of killing them and hopefully he will get killed too." he monologued to himself before we went to go look for the Changeling in question.

Once the stallion was out of the room, a rather shocked and almost heart broken with disbelief Scarab came down and shifted back to himself replaying what he had just heard.

"Well if that's how he wants it," Scarab said coldly "So be it."

With that he went of to look for the others and first beg for forgiveness (hoping it wouldn't have to come to that) and second help them get their justice on Winter and Jack and Suzy rescued.


Lower down in the castle, the main six, Discord, Eric and Sarah along with Snowflake and Blizzard were descending into the lower lower parts of the castle, following the snowbabies, feelings to get back to their creator.

"Um are you sure it's such a good idea to be doing this guys?" Fluttershy asked looking around her a feeling like they were being watched coming to her.

'We want to get Papa and Suzy back don't we?' Snowflake asked running up to the shy Pegasus and giving her a very good puppy-dog-pout.

"Of course we do sweetie," Pinkie said flipping the baby into her back not wanting her to be upset. "And don't worry we'll get them. Now come on lets go bring back Jack and Suzy!"

'YEAH!' the snowbaby's cried together and ran off down the spiraling staircase, Pinkie following.

"I still can't believe that Pinkie can understand those things," Rainbow Dash said hovering above her friends.

"I still can't believe that we're still related to the founders of Equestria," Twilight said looking to a still knocked out Rarity. "Or that Rarity is still dreaming about it."

"It might have something to do with the golden dust buzzing around her head and over her eyes," Sarah said getting a closer look to the white Unicorn, seeing crowns, thrones, and a sandy Rarity.

"Huh?" everyone who was still there asked stopping and turning to look at their friend then to Discord who was whistling innocently, avoiding everyone's looks.

"I would say that this is a bad thing you did Discord," Eric said getting back up from his kneeling state from when he was looking at Rarity "But it is keeping her quiet and it is supposedly harmless otherwise you wouldn't do it right?"

"Exactly," Discord said happy that someone understands.

"Well then maybe if you're so happy with it buster, you should carry her for a while?" Applejack said glaring at Eric and Discord annoyed.

"Alright," Eric said slowly taking Rarity off the farm pony and piggybacking her. "Whoa you're stronger than you look AJ what does this pony eat?" Eric said losing his balance for a bit under Rarity's weight.

"About ten to fifteen tubs of ice-cream every time she gets upset," Twilight said.

"She gets upset quite a lot then?" Eric asked as the set off again.

"Well she was born on a Wednesday," Pinkie said popping out of nowhere shocking everyone, shocking them even more when they see she's flying? hovering? by spinning her tail like a helicopter.

"Whatever," Sarah cut in before anyone could ask Pinkie what she meant "We're meant to be rescuing my cousin and his girlfriend remember."

With that, everyone nodded and increased their pace to the bottom of the stairs where Snowflake and Blizzard were jumping up and down to try and reach the door handles of a floor to ceiling pair of doors.

"I'm guessing they're in there then?" Eric asked to no one in mind.

'Papa is,' Blizzard said as he stopped bouncing and turned to look to Eric 'If Suzy is that's something else.'

'Yeah, but we can feel something else in there too...' Snowflake said catching her breath back letting her brother have a try 'Something big.'

After Discord and Pinkie transferred the message to the ponies Eric put Rarity down and brought out his sword just in case that something would attack them.

Slowly they reached for the door handles and opened the door stepping in, not all that ready for what was inside.

Further back up the stairs, Scarab watched with baited breath as he saw everyone go into the room where the dragon laid.

"Well this just got a whole lot more fun..." he cursed before rushing in himself before the door shut.
