Chapter 5: Harmony Failed
The friends ran out of the Everfree Forest and charged into Ponyville. They searched everywhere but could not find Queen Frostbite. But the freezelings were everywhere and overwhelmed Ponyville. "How are we going to use the Elements of Harmony if we can't even find Queen Frostbite?" Twilight asked her friends. "We've searched everywhere!"
The other ponies started to think. "Not everywhere..." Auquasia said. Twilight thought for a moment and realized what she meant. The ponies followed Twilight as she charged off to find Queen Frostbite.
The friends arrived at Twilight's castle. Queen Frostbite was nowhere in sight. "Where is she?" Twilight asked.
"Maybe we should go look at that white mist over there," Pinkie suggested as she pointed at a strange white mist. The ponies walked over to it. Suddenly it took the form of Queen Frostbite.
"It's pleasure to see you all again," Queen Frostbite said in her cold voice.
"Your cold winter is over, Frostbite!" Twilight exclaimed.
"Really? But I just started."
"Say hello to the Elements of Harmomy!" Rainbow Dash shouted. Frostbite laughed.
"What can those little crystals do against a powerful alicorn like me?" Frostbite asked.
"Soon you'll find out," Twilight said. The six friends started to use the elements. Auquasia watched in awe as a rainbow went around the friends. But soon the rainbow disappeared. The Elements of Harmony weren't working.
"What?" Twilight said. Frostbite laughed evilly.
" I guess I really am too powerful for you!" she shouted. Twilight and her friends tried again to no avail.
"Why aren't they working?" Twilight asked.
"I'll just leave you all to this. I have some freezing to do," Frostbite said. She turned back into mist form and creeped away.
"How?" Twilight asked. "We have all the elements. It should have worked."
"What are we going to do, Twilight?" Fluttershy asked.
"We need to write a letter to Princess Celestia. She'll know what to do," Twilight said.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go write a letter!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed.
The he friends burst into the castle. "Spike, take a letter," Twilight told the dragon. Spike took out a scroll and a pen and began to write.
"Dear Princess Celestia, as you may already know, creatures called freezelings are invading Equestria. Me and my friends took it upon ourselves to use the Elements of Harmony to stop her from freezing all of Equestria. However, the Elements of Harmony failed to defeat her, and the freezelings are roaming Equestria in great swarms. We would like to know if you have any idea of how to stop the freezelings. Sincerely, Twilight Sparke" Spike wrote down every word she said and sent it off.
It had been some time and no letter had been sent. "Why hasn't the princess sent a letter yet?" Rainbow Dash asked in frustration.
"She must be busy, darling. Being a princess and all, she has many royal duties. Have some patience," Rarity said to her friend. Suddenly Spike burped out a letter. The friends gathered around it.
"Dear Twilight Sparkle, I, Princess Luna, write to you on behalf of my sister who has suddenly gone missing. I too have seen the overwhelming masses of freezelings invading Equestria. I regret to inform you that I have no information that could help you to rid Equestria of these terrible creatures. But I know of a place where you can find the answers you are looking for; the library in the Crystal Empire. It holds many old books that tell of creatures like the freezelings and it may have books about the Elements of Harmomy. I only hope you find what you seek. With a heavy heart, Princess Luna," Twilight read.
"The Princess is missing?!" everypony exclaimed.
"Oh I hope she's alright," Fluttershy said.
"I bet Queen Frostbite has something to do with this!" Rainbow Dash shouted.
"We need to head to the Crystal Empire right away," Twilight decided.
"Twilight, have you checked to see if you have any books on the elements?" Applejack asked.
"I have. And I couldn't find any information that could help us in this situation."
"I can't wait to go to the Crystal Empire!" Rarity exclaimed. Everypony looked at her. "What? There shimmering coats are simply to die for!"
"Spike, I need you to watch the castle. Who knows what Queen Frostbite might be up to," Twilight told the dragon.
"You expect me to stay here?! With that freeze crazy pony running around?!" a terrified Spike asked.
"Please, Spike. You will be completely safe in here." Reluctantly, Spike sighed.
"Fine. Just don't be gone too long."
"Thank you, Spike. Now come on, girls. We're going to the Crystal Empire!"
