"I AM FROSTY HEARTH" The words burned themselves into everybody's eyes as they tried to wrap their heads around this new information. The Mane 6 Cadance, and Shining Armor just sat with their jaws open, and wide eyed staring blankly at the words. Even Luffy was taken aback by this reveal. Meanwhile Celestia and Luna looked just looked straight Frosty with faces mixed with happiness, anger, saddness, and fear, wondering just what happened to him.

"F-Frosty?! B-but this can't be! You, he...died." Celestia said, not believing him.

"We first met when I was performing tricks with snow, and I slipped on ice crashing into you." Frosty replied with a deadpan look, recalling their first meeting.

Celestia nearly teared up, and began walking up to him. "Frosty? It really is you..." Any anger held by the princesses was replaced by joy at the revelation of Frosty being alive. She attempted to put a hoof on his shoulder, only for Frosty to freak out. Rearing backwards, he slammed his hoofs down. As he did so, he charged his horn, and upon hitting the ground, blasted Celestia into the dome with a snow blast, cracking it.

"DON'T YOU TOUCH ME!" Frosty roared ferociously, his smug grin completely upside down contorted in anger. "Is this some kind of joke? You honestly think after everything you did, I want your affection?!"

Everybody gasped in horror at his outburst.

"You brute! She thought you were dead! She was so happy to see you, and you just blast her?!" Rarity gritted her teeth at Frosty, who had so heartlessly slammed his teacher into a wall. She quickly lost her bravado when Frosty teleported in right in front of her, sneering.

"It's nothing she didn't deserve!" His face was full of anger and hurt. His ghost pale body up close emitted a deathlike cold, as his anger grew.

"And just what DID she do to deserve this?" Frosty turned around at the sound of Twilight's voice. "What could she have possibly done to you?" Twilight's voice was full of both resentment, and desire for understanding.

"I told you already they threw me away like trash! I fell into the mountain valley below outside the Empire, and crawled back to the Crystal Empire. Despite my injuries, I made it in time for Hearth's Warming Eve, at the Crystal Palace, where the Princesses stayed.  When I went to see then, what did I see? I saw them with somepony else! She and Luna were nuzzling, and playing with a young little filly, just as they did with me! It was like they forgot about me, like everything we had was some sick joke! They never even knew I was there! They replaced me like I was some broken toy!"

"What are you talking about? We had guards searching everywhere for you! It took years for us to accept your so-called death! We never forgot about you!" Luna shouted at him in a tone of confusion and determination.

"LIAR! Frosty shrieked. "I didn't see any guards searching for me! You never cared for me, it was just a big lie, I know what I saw! I won't be tricked by the likes of you! I've seen what you 2 really are: Lying little manipulators thats what! Always using kind motherly words laced with half truths to manipulate innocent ponies like chess pieces. A world so easily manipulated doesn't deserve existence."

"Don't talk about the princesses like that!" Twilight shouted, trying to step forwards. "They always cared deeply about their subjects."

This got a giggle out of Frosty. "Heh heh. You still think they are some heroes? Poor poor Twilight, so caught up in worshipping the princesses that you don't see them for who they really are. Luna, and especially Celestia have been controlling you all along. Just look at your life up till now. Don't believe me? Take a look at how you met your friends! That wasn't destiny, that was Celestia using you to get her sister back. She deliberately withheld information for her own gain, and used you to get what she wanted."

Twilight contorted her face in confusion, and spoke up. "How could you possibly know that? You were in Tartarus until Cerberus left his post!" 

"Oh is that so sparklebutt? Fun fact: I escaped years ago, way before you and your friends came along. Any cage will break if you smack it enough times. I would have attacked sooner, but a millenia of no magic tends to put one out of practice, I had to hide and re-learn a few tricks before I tried anything. I've had plenty of time to catch up, and observe recent events, a certain mare and a mirror comes to mind. Glad to know I'm not the only pony to see Celestia for who she is."

"Sunset saw the error of her ways and learned the values of friendship, and so could you if you would just let go if this irrational hatred of the princesses!" Twilight retorted.

"I don't want your stinkin friendship you loon! What I WANT is to make the princesses suffer. And the best way to do that is to force them to watch as I make their kingdom crumble beneath their feet! WHY would I want to be friends with ponies so easily manipulated? WHY would I want to crawl back to the Princesses who abandoned me?"

There was a dead silence for a few moments. "Frosty...w-what happened to you?" Celestia tried standing up. "We truly don't know what you're talking about. You call yourself Frosty Hearth, yet you are nothing like the one we knew! What have you done to yourself?" She understood so little of his past, and so badly wanted to understand what he was talking about. 

Frosty was shocked and amused, and wore a falsely warm smile. "You really don't know what you did do you?" He spoke ever so softly. "How funny. Are you really so ignorant that you know nothing of what you did to me?" His horn began glowing and crackling with magic, and his smile turned to a small frown. "Fine then! If you are so desperate then see for yourself what you did to me! The 2 of you, and Equestria threw me away like I was worthless junk! Well. Now it's my turn! Enjoy a trip down memory lane!" His horn made a flash of light that enveloped everybody.

"What did you to us?!" Rainbow snarled, trying to keep balance, but like with everyone else, it was pointless. Legs weakened, and vision blurred.

"Ah don't know but I'm feeling a bit... woozy...ugh!" Applejack's vision blurred until all she saw was white, and she fell to the floor alongside everybody. 

Frosty took one melancholic look at the unconscious group before teleporting outside the ice dome to begin his frozen devestation of Equestria.
