chapter 16

Back in the throne room, the good guys were trying all they could to get Winter to fall, but nothing was working.

"I thought you said you got the timing fixed on these things Jack," Eric called out to a getting tired for continuously making them, and holding back Winter's magic Jack.

"Well EXCUSE me if he's immune to them..." Jack returned no one noticing his hair beginning to turn white and his eyes turning blue.

Well no one but Winter who smirked and increased the amount of power he was using, meaning the boy had to fight it off more, just to protect his friends more.

"Twilight you have to do that spell..." Sarah called out, her arms up to her face to stop the snow from stinging it.

"Ha! Like that will do anything Little Girl..." Winter said giving a quick glance to her and then over to the Princess of Friendship. "She maybe Celestia's student and Clover the Clever's descendant, but I doubt very highly that she can do such a thing..."

"Don't listen to him Twi..." Suzy said throwing another paralyzing ball, still not feeling anything happening, seeing Twilight doubt herself. "You have the power, maybe you can't see it but it's there... You're the Element of Magic you can do it... Agh..." she said hugging her stomach and getting to her knees getting Winter to turn and see what was wrong and an evil (well eviler) smirk to come to his face.

"Well now isn't this... interesting," he asked looking around seeing everyone look worried and Jack look more determined to fight him off.

"I didn't know Changelings could have single, live brat's my dear..." Winter said to Suzy who was now being protected by Rainbow Dash and Applejack while Fluttershy and Pinkie were seeing if she was alright.

"That's because I'm not a Changeling you big fat worm..." Suzy said glaring at him the pain gone but the secret blown putting her in more danger.

"Oh have we not gone over this already?" Winter asked rolling his eyes "You are what you are my dear, and what you are is... a... Change..."

"SHUT UP!" Suzy cried stomping her foot, ice growing in a ring all around her "JUST SHUT UP!" with that she pushed her hands forward and shot out ice spikes towards the stallion making him duck and everyone who didn't know to gasp and stare, as Suzy looked scared as she looked to her hands looking to Jack, worried.

"What..?" Winter said slowly getting up and looking to the Changeling sensing some of his magic inside her as well as the boy. "HOW DO YOU HAVE MY POWER INSECT!"

"It found it's way to me..." Suzy said sternly glaring. "Now will you ever so kindly..." she said swirling her hands around to make a ginormous snowball and held it over her head "GET FROZEN ALREADY!" she cried throwing it to the Alicorn, who used an iced sword to slice it in half meaning it went all over the place and the falling flakes ended up paralyzing everyone, leaving only Eric, Sarah, Discord, Suzy and Jack.

"And once again the Element's are out..." Discord said trying to bring some joy into this as he protected them glaring at Winter.

"Ha! Now who will light your dumb Heart of Friendship, Little Girl?" Winter asked looking to Sarah suddenly feeling stiff in the legs and looked down, the color blue was growing up the stallion's legs and the more he moved the faster it grew.
"What's happening?" he asked sounding afraid looking up to Jack and Suzy both wearing smirks.

"Turns out you're not so immune to our paralyzing snowballs after all," Jack said at last pulling out of holding back the ice and snow, feeling the power drop the more Winter was frozen.

After a few more minutes of cursing, and swearing, and 'I'll get you for this'ing FINALLY Old Stallion Winter was as frozen as his heart and everyone still able to move gave a sigh of relief.

"What now?" Eric said looking around to his friends.

"Well first thing..." Sarah said looking to Jack since he had been using it more than Suzy had "Is to unfreeze the ponies..."

"Aww... Do we have to..?" Jack whined looking at the ponies and laughing at some of the positions they were in.

"Jack... They were not meant to be frozen," Sarah said acting like the adult "So please unfreeze them."

"Oh alright..." Jack said snapping his fingers pointing them at the ones he wanted unfrozen and they began to defrost.

"Ok next thing..." Eric said taking over while Sarah and Suzy went to check on the girls "What we going to do with him?" he asked pointing to Winter.

"Well I would gladly like to..." Jack said walking up to Winter only to come to a halt after the tenth step as he looked around, Suzy did the same looking around looking scared.

"What... What's wrong with them..." Fluttershy asked scared as she stared at the two.

"Because Winter's now no longer able to function as it were," Discord began "The Windego's are now coming out to ask Jack and Suzy, because they have Winter's magic in them, what their next move."

"So is this a good thing or a bad thing?" Rarity, who had woken up halfway through the fight asked.

As if to answer a heard of Windego's suddenly appeared and began charging at them...


Back in the room Brenda was in, under the castle, Scarab was just backing away from the last egg he gently placed in front of her.

Once the black toy was far enough away Brenda let down her guard and began checking her eggs to see if they were, as he said earlier, still alright.

Scarab was watching on sighing to himself when Blizzard and Snowflake came running up to him and began bouncing scared expressions on their faces.

Getting up on to his hooves, Scarab lit his horn looking around to see what had scared them when the howls of the Windegos.

Looking to the balls of snow again, Scarab looked to the dragon to see if she will be alright but just in case...

"One of you stay here with Brenda," Scarab said like Jack did earlier "The other show me what's wrong..."

With that he and the other snowbaby ran out the door and towards the throne room, the further they got the colder it seemed to get.
