//------------------------------// // The Villainous Plan // Story: I remember you // by Shadow of doubt //------------------------------// --I remember you-- The Villainous Plan A sharp groan escaped Twilight Sparkle as she found herself freezing cold, the sound of things falling over and breaking assaulted her sensitive hearing "Wha- Where am I?" Twilight questioned once she finally opened her eyes only to find that she saw bars as if she were in a prison. Looking at the bars she found them to be reflective as if made of ice, although she was distracted by the image of herself frozen inside an ice cube with nothing but her head and half her hoof free. In one corner of the room stood a half melted snowpony along with a lounge chair and few photos of penguins on the wall near a window, while the other side held an archway that seemed to lead into a kitchen. "Help, somepony, anypony help. I'm stuck," Twilight screamed out as she tried to summon her magic to help her she realized that she had some strange ice on her horn stopping her magic from leaving. "What's going on, can somepony hear me?" Twilight asked to the bars of her cage, her prone reflection taunting her as she tried to remember how she got here. "Wait a second, I remember walking to the market, talking to Muffins, and then Carrot- the Ice king!" Twilight exclaimed in shock, how was it possible for him to use magic, he hasn't got a horn, the horn is the only known way to use direct magic. "Only if I had my notes, I could research this phenomenon and- Not now, I need to get out of this first," Twilight reasoned with herself. "Hello, Miss Princess Twilight," Came a scratchy voice, who revealed himself to be the Ice King as he walked into the main room, his blue robe full of unidentifiable stains flowed behind him as he moved toward's Twilight who looked at him angrily through the bars in her prison. "Let me out of here Ice King, you won't get away with this, but if you let me out we will go easy on you," Twilight stated irritation in her voice, confidence saturated her frozen form gained from years of defeating evil villains. "What no, if I let you out then you will leave, I need a princess so I can marry one," The Ice King started losing focus on Twilight as he mentioned princess, "OK you obviously have some emotional problems so how about you tell me about them and then that will help you move on so you can marry me," The Ice King offered. "What no, and I don't have emotional baggage," Twilight said as her irritation turned into anger, trying to flare her wings only reminded her that she was completely immobile. "Denial is the first step, I'm here for you baby," the ice king offered symphony saturated his voice as he approached the bars of the prison. "Obviously he has some plan in order to... do something, argh I don't even know what he wants!" Twilight thought fruitlessly for an idea to get out once again trying to reach for her magic only to find it blocked. "You want a sandwich Princess, I can make a mean sandwich, oh and then you can help me find another princess." The Ice King exclaimed happily as he flew back into the kitchen with his beard. "Wait what, how is that even possible," Twilight wondered as she watched the Ice King fly back into the room with two sandwiches in his hands. "Hey why do you want to ponynap another princess," Twilight shouted as she finished processing his words, the ice king looked at her funny as he handed her a sandwich, she gave him a blatant look and wiggles her foreleg at him. "Oh right, here. ICE TABLE." The Ice king exclaimed as he used a beam of ice to create an entire table made of ice. Surprising twilight at how well it was made along with decorations and how the table ended about half an inch from her mouth. "I hope you like the sandwich all I had was mayonnaise and tomato," the Ice King stated as he places the mayo and tomato sandwich on the table, mayonnaise flowed out of it like puss and the bread looked stale and old, Twilight, disgusted with the 'not' sandwich tried to turn her nose up, only to be reminded of her predicament. "I have so many questions for you, oh okay so what do you normally do." The King asked Twilight as he used his powers to create an ice chair to sit down in. Twilight looked at the sandwich with distaste but her stomach overpowered her sense of distrust and ate the sandwich. "How was it, was it bad. It was bad wasn't it, I'm sorry I'll go get some better sandwich's," the ice king started but before he could rise from his seat Twilight interrupted him. "No, it's okay, just tell me what do you want," Twilight asked him eyeing him supposedly. "Um, I always wanted a friendship bracelet I made a lot of them, but most of my friends don't do much, he pointed over to a half melted snowpony with a band of ice around its hoof. "What do you want from me!" Twilight shouted confusion evident on her face, she can understand Nightmare Moon, Discord, Tirek even Chrysalis but for the life of her she can't figure this one out. "I want you to marry me, but I don't want to make the wrong choice, so I need to find more princesses, so can you tell me about your week and then tell me where to find more princesses, or are you the only one?" The ice king said oblivious to Twilight's confusion. "Fine I'll tell you about my life, then will you release me I'm cold!" Twilight mumbled as she searched her memories with her friends before speaking. "Yes wonderful, we are going to be the best of friends," The Ice King exclaimed, his maddening laugh echoing off the walls. "Sure? Well last Monday my friends and I..." Twilight trailed off telling the Ice King about her week while she worked on getting her magic past the ice on her horn. ♛ Earlier "There all done," Spike said to himself after a tedious hour of melting ice from the coffee mug without melting the mug itself. "Twilight should be back by now, I'm going to go find her," Spike stated to the chair near the kitchen table. As spike walked towards the market he noticed something odd well normal but odd everywhere else, ponies were panicking like crazy shout something about ponynaping and Twilight. "Twilight," Spike shouted out to the crowd, who once they noticed him all ran towards him, once spike saw this he braced himself for the worst. "Spike you gotta help, Princess Twilight was ponynapped by a bearded diamond dog king who can fly with his bearded, oh and he has ice magic. Please spike you gotta help us," The crowd of miscellaneous ponies all asking for him to help, so with a new-found confidence masking his worry about the new super villain he took some parchment and quill from a pink pony who for some reason had it on them and started writing a letter. HELP PRINCESSES, TWILIGHT, PONYNAPPED, FLYING BEARDED WEIRDO DIAMOND DOG KING. ~Spike
