Starfleet Magic Movie: How the Finch stopped Hearths Warming

Act 8: Fight the Cold

ACT EIGHT

The Cursed Blizzard was worsening, and the snow was piling up higher than ever.

All over the planet, temperatures were dropping rapidly. Even the dragons in the New Badlands were beginning to feel the chill.

Luckily, help was soon on the way…

Starfleet sentries, enchanted with the resistant spell came to help escort the dragons to safety, away from the storm as they had done for ponies and other creatures all over-- keeping them safe within their homes, schools, and other buildings.

Others were using flame-throwers, or their own magic to melt the rising snows to keep it from burying homes.

Captain Emerald Shaina of the royal guards reported to their majesties, “We cannot keep the snow under control this way. It won’t be long before we’re all buried up again.”

“Keep at it as long as you can.” said Grand Ruler.

Shaina bowed, “Yes sire.” and then she rushed off to assist in the work again.

Grand Ruler then turned to Celestia and Luna.

“It’s time to put that little plan we had into operation.”

The ladies agreed with him, and then Celestia and her husband both looked out and up into the sky worrying about Lightning, Twilight, and the rest of the team.

“Come on, Lightning!” Grand Ruler prayed.

Celestia prayed too, “You can do this, Twilight.”



“Attack…!” Frieda shouted, and the brainwashed friends all charged forth.

Lightning and his team all scattered about.


Lightning landed down before Buddy, Artie and Rhymey. “I hate to do this to you fellas, but I have no choice.”

He then rushed forth at them, and the men unleashed ice beams at him, which he avoided by swerving, ducking, and leaping over as he kept on coming, plowing right through them in a huge crash.

The men went sailing in the air, but they all landed on their feet, seemingly unharmed, and they drew out their weapons ready to go at him for more.

Lightning felt really upset that he didn’t have a standard weapon or any magic of his own to capture with, but the least he could do was continue to hold his friends down so Starla could try and help them.


Spike glared angrily at Twilight.

“Spike, you’ve got to snap out of this!” she called to him, but Spike only opened his mouth and launched an ice-beam at her, forcing her to put a magical wall of light, which froze instantly, much to her shock.

Rarity and Pinkie began galloping towards her, forcing Twilight to leap up high. She then tried to cast a spell on the mares and hold them in place, but Rainbow Dash soared in and froze the magic beam, canceling the spell.

“Rats!” sneered Twilight.


Applejack and Fluttershy went straight at Krysta, but she, being tiny and very fast zipped here, there and everyone around. Krysta taunted, “You got to be quick if you want to catch me.”

That’s when two ice-beams flew towards her, which she barely dodged.

The blasts were fired by Dyno and Myte, and they didn’t have to join hands to increase the power.

“Guys!” Starla cried at them.

The twins snarled at her and looked ready for more.

Starla then held up her bow ready to shoot at them to capture them. “I’m sorry guys, but I have to do this!”

Suddenly, she felt someone creeping up from behind-- Shining Armor, he fired his ice-beam, forcing her to jump up into the air to avoid the shot, only then for Cadance to bash into her head first, knocking the bow out of her hand.

“My bow…!”

She tried to reach for it, only for Frieda to shoot at the bow, freeze it solid onto the wall.

She snickered and taunted, “All this hate and fighting only makes me stronger, remember… and with that, it only keeps your friends under my curse.”

The brainwashed friends-- their eyes were glowing brighter and colder than ever!

Lightning growled angrily, and he looked over at Frieda’s amulet-- the very source of all the power happening.

“Somehow, we’ve got to get hold of that amulet and destroy it, but with all the others blocking our way, and the Windigos on guard as well, we can’t get a clear shot!”

Twilight was thinking the exact same thing as he was. “Our only chance is if our plan works out.”

She looked over at Lightning, and he nodded back at her, which Starla and Krysta noted.

“Get them!” Frieda shouted to her army, and the brainwashed fighters all charged forth together.

Cadance took a swing with her fist, and Twilight caught it in her hands and gripped on tightly.

“Cadance, I know you’re in there! You’ve got to let us help you!”

Her sister-in-law only snarled and gave her a huge flying-kick in the stomach, sending her skidding along the ice and into a wall.

Twilight wasn’t really hurt-- thanks to her training making her a bit tougher.

Then she was picked up from behind by her brother, Shining Armor and held hostage, and the other three fighters were too caught up to rush over and help her.

“Freeze her!” ordered Frieda “The sooner she’s under my control, the sooner the others will follow.”


Twilight couldn’t break free, and she didn’t have to. She waited right for the last second when Cadance was ready to fire the ice-beam.

Once it was fired, she teleported in a puff of smoke out of the way causing Cadance to freeze her husband instead.

“Ah!” cried Frieda.

Cadance actually gasped in shock at what she had just done.

Twilight reappeared in a vacant area of the room, only then to be confronted by Spike, Rarity, and Pinkie, and she wouldn’t be able to teleport to safety this time… not on her own…

But Krysta was ready, and used her magic to warp Twilight to her location just as the friends fired their ice-beams; hitting the walls causing a large ice-berg to bulge out and hit them all hard.

Lightning face Buddy, Artie, and Rhymey. The trio of men all charged for him with their weapons ready.

…Lightning stood ready as well.

Buddy flicked his whip to lasso Lightning, but he caught it in his hand and gave it a huge yank, knocking Buddy into the others.

He felt very remorseful in doing so, but he knew it had to be done.

Starla felt the same as she faced several Equestrians.

Applejack and Fluttershy rushed for her and readied to unleash their ice-beams.

“Not this time!” sneered Starla “STAR SHOWER” and she threw her star clusters at the ladies, intercepting the beams, freezing all the stars and causing them to drop like stones.

“PULSAR LASER”

She fired her powerful beam right past the ladies, but it wasn’t they she was aiming for…!

The beam hit the ice on the wall, freeing her bow and allowing her to zip across and grasp it… just in time to whirl round to see Rainbow zooming up on her hard, forcing her to block Rainbow’s approach with her bow.

Fluttering hard in the air, Starla kept her feet off the ground so she would not slide, and forced Rainbow back hard intro Dyno and Myte.



“You useless twerps!” thundered Frieda, and she furiously held up the amulet making it glow brightly. “More power! More Hate! More Fighting!!”

The brainwashed ponies were glowing brightly with the cold light, and Shining Armor was magically freed from his ice block.

Lightning’s visor showed that power levels were increasing, and the temperature was dropping making him and the others shiver a little.

“Yes! More… More…!” thundered Frieda, but she herself gasped and was starting to shiver as she seemed to grow paler. “Have to… give… more!!”

Lightning and Twilight could see it was starting to work.

“What’s happening to her?” asked Krysta.

Lightning called to her, “The more she uses her power, the colder she gets. That’s why she backed out the last time.”

Krysta and Starla began to grin with glee, catching onto the idea.

“We’ve got to keep going.” said Twilight.

So the fight continued, and while the friends were still forced to fend off against their brainwashed friends, Frieda was still forced to pour on more power from the amulet to keep them under her spell.

Frieda continued to shiver, and then she called up to the Windigos overhead, “What are you just hovering around for? Get in there!”

The Windigos obeyed her, and floated in towards the battle.

“Uh, oh!” cried Lightning.

The three ladies looked up and saw the angry spirits coming in as well.

“I’ll freeze you all in one blast!” shouted Frieda. Then she groaned while trying to supress the increasing cold taking over her, and unlike before she refused to back down this time, refusing to let the fighters escape!

Lightning then signaled to all three of the ladies to “…Get ready!” their chance was fast -approaching, but for the moment, they continued to fend off against their brainwashed friends.

Suddenly they found themselves surrounded from all sides by all the brainwashed friends—all their snarling, freezing friends, slowly creeping forth ready to freeze the fighters.

“Uh, any ideas now?” asked Krysta.

“Everyone, please, listen to me!” Twilight called, still desperate to try and reach for them deep within.

“Give it up, Twilight, their hearts are frozen!” said Starla.

The Windigos hovered overhead and looked ready to fire their ice beams.

“Now!” shouted Lightning, and Krysta teleported everyone out of the way just as the ice-beams fired encasing all the friends in ice, while the fighters reappeared in the wide open space, completely unharmed.

“No!!” shouted Frieda. Infuriated with this outrage, she held up the amulet, “I’ll summon all the Windigos that I have!”

That’s what she tried to do, but no other Windigos appeared.

“What’s going on?!” wailed Frieda. “Where are my Windigos?!!”

As if that weren’t enough, the Windigos already in the chamber and around the palace-- their eyes gave a quick flash, and their heads perked up.

All at once, they flew off, passing through the walls and abandoning their posts.

“What’s?! Where are you going?!!” bellowed Frieda. “Get back here at once! I command you…!!”

The Windigos acted as if they couldn’t hear her, because they were being drawn towards something greater than she could give them.

“It’s no use, Frieda.” called Lightning. “You forget, the Windigos feed off hate; vast amounts of hate-- they’re practically drawn to it.”

Twilight gave a smirked, “And that’s exactly what we planned would happen.”

Frieda, even Starla and Krysta were confused.


Far, away, ponies and other creatures were actually outside of their homes and standing in the Cursed Blizzard, which indeed froze their hearts and cursed them with hate.

They were all gathered into one massive area where they were being mean and nasty and breaking up Hearths Warming decorations and displays, and even arguing with each other, and yet the authorities were doing nothing to stop them, but they were keeping close tabs on them in case things got really out of hand.

Their majesties and the authorities were still protected from the storm, and using their powers as best they could to keep the temperatures slightly at bay so no one would catch a chill.

“I can’t believe we’re letting our subjects do this.” said Princess Luna.

“Neither can I,” agreed Celestia “…But it should work.”

Grand Ruler looked up and all around at the sky. “Look!” he suddenly cried out “The Windigos are coming.”

Indeed, Frieda’s entire flock of followers were arriving on the scene; having been drawn towards the vast and massive amounts of hate and fighting and were now ready to feed on it all, meaning they were no longer by Frieda’s side.

“It’s working!” cried Luna “The hate we have assembled is drawing the Windigos away. This was a wonderful plan.”

Grand Ruler smirked, “You can thank Lightning Dawn and Twilight Sparkle for this. It was their plan after all.”

Celestia smiled proudly.



Frieda was in complete shock. “You…!!” she thundered at Lightning and Twilight. “You planned this from the very beginning!!”

Lightning and Twilight stood side by side and nodded proudly at one another, which astounded Starla and Krysta.

“They were never angry at each other all along.” said Krysta.

It also explained why their majesties never tried to break the two up, or discipline them more harshly.

“I’ll be a daughter of a space-gun.” muttered Starla as she gazed at Lightning from behind.


Frieda was most annoyed and outraged, as well as cold and shivering from all the power she had poured into the battle.

“I’ve c-c-c-come too… far… to g-g-g-give up now!!”

By this time she had grown so incredibly insane, and determined to take out her enemies. “…It looks like I have no other choice.” and in a huge fit of rage, she raised the amulet up high, and slammed it to the ground shattering it to pieces!

A very bright light flashed, forcing even Lightning and Starla to cover their eyes. Followed by the castle starting to quake, and the walls began to crack!

“What has she done now?!” wailed Krysta.

“I think we’re about to find out!” said Starla.

Frieda laughed loud and wickedly. “You are about to suffer the amulet’s greatest and deadliest power yet!!”
