Windigo Attack

All of a sudden, Sunset Shimmer opened her eyes and breathed heavily in her bed. She looked at the time and saw 7:00 am.

"It's Christmas morning," Sunset Shimmer gasped. "The Windigoes!"

She opened her window and saw a large blizzard cloud in the sky. She squinted and saw the Windigoes circling around the eye of the storm.

"Oh, no. I've got to warn everyone! Maybe the power between me and my friends will stop them!"

Sunset Shimmer went to her wardrobe and pulled out large coats, hats, boots, and gloves. She approached the door and took a deep breath. She placed her hand and the doorknob, twisted it, and a strong gust of wind blew the door wide open. Sunset Shimmer fought against the wind and forcefully walked against the cold.

Up in the sky, the Windigoes watched Sunset Shimmer fight against the winds they were blowing. The Winter creatures looked at each other in anger and flew towards Canterlot High.

Meanwhile, at the school, the students woke up. Apple Bloom looked out the window and saw the weather.

"The storm didn't get any better," she said. "It looks like it's only gotten worse."

"What about Sunset Shimmer," Fluttershy asked. "I think we should go and see if she's okay."

"I don't know," Rainbow Dash said. "She might still be upset about the party."

"I agree with Fluttershy," Applejack said. "Sunset Shimmer is our friend and we're going to go by her house."

"Well, when you put it like that, I'm in," Rainbow Dash said.

"I'll get the mittens," Rarity said.

"To eat," Pinkie Pie asked.

"What," Rarity asked with confusion. "No."

"Uh, everyone," Scootaloo said. She had a scared face and pointed up "LOOK!"

The students looked and the ceiling was covering with ice. They were scared and they all ran to the door. They opened it and ran into the cold.

"THIS ISN'T NATURAL," Applejack shouted.

"NOPE," Big Macintosh shouted.

Suddenly, a cloud blew around Big Mac. When the cloud cleared, Applejack's brother was covered with ice.

"MAC," Applejack shouted.

"LOOK," Flash Sentry shouted pointing at the sky

Windigoes appeared in the clouds above and started blowing cold gusts of wind at the children. Anyone blasted by the wind were instantly covered in ice.

"RUN FOR YOUR LIIIIIIIIIVES," Pinkie Pie screamed. She turned to the children covered with ice. "Anybody else want to panic with me? No?" She continued screaming and running with Rarity, Fluttershy, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash.

They ran through the frozen town avoiding the Windigoes' ice blows. Meanwhile, Sunset Shimmer was walking through the wind and struggling to get through the cold. She and her friends were approaching each other from different ends of the storm, but they couldn't see each other.

"HELLO," Sunset Shimmer screamed trying to ignore the cold wind. "CAN ANYONE HEAR ME?! I'M RIGHT HERE!"

The screams were heard from across the storm by Sunset's friends.

"THAT'S SUNSET SHIMMER," Rainbow Dash screamed. "LET'S GET TO HER!"

"I KNEW I SHOULD HAVE EATEN THAT LAST FRUITCAKE," Pinkie Pie shouted.

"THAT'S YOUR FINAL THOUGHT," Applejack asked loudly.

"YES, THEY WERE VERY GOOD," Pinkie Pie shouted.

The girls continued walking strongly through the storm. Before too long, they caught sight of each other.

"SUNSET," the red-head's friends shouted.

"GIRLS," Sunset Shimmer screamed. "I'M COMING!"

The Windigoes caught sight of it and growled in anger. The leading Windigo flew from the sky and blew a blast of cold air. Sunset Shimmer saw the incoming wind and bolted faster toward her friends. The friends reached out their arms to embrace their friend.

Suddenly, the cold air covered the five friends. Sunset Shimmer was horrified when she saw her closest friends covered in ice. "No." She broke into tears and hugged her friends while the Windigoes above howled loudly into the sky.

"My friends, I'm sorry for everything," Sunset Shimmer sobbed. "For my whole life, even during the happiest times of the year, I've been losing those closest to me. My father was the first. I thought that coming to this world would change my opinion about the holidays, but it still happened. I guess... I guess I kept myself isolated because I was afraid of being abandoned again. You're the best friends I've ever had and I didn't want to lose you. But now, it looks like I did.

"This fearsome storm is all my fault

Now, I'm alone with no friends

No hope anywhere in sight

In a winter that never ends

The cold is rising with the battle within myself

In order to keep it in, I must accept help"

Suddenly, she felt a warm feeling in her hands. She removed her mittens and saw a purple glow from her hands. She touched her frozen friends and watched the glow melt the ice. She removed her hands and watched it illuminate in amazement.

"All these years, I've been lonely

Rejecting assistance from any pony

But now, I turn my back on the old me

GOOD-BYE, OLD MEEEEEEEE"

The Windigoes widened their eyes in fear as a purple flame came out of Sunset Shimmer's body. They tried to attack her, but it was too warm for them to handle. Sunset Shimmer started to control her new fire.

"I will change

I will change

I've got to let it go

I will change

I will change

The Christmas spirit will glow

This isn't my fate

So I'm going to alter

I am not a Scrooge

I will make a whole new future"

Sunset Shimmer continued walking through the road completely forgetting how cold it is. She shot purple flames toward the sky and made storm clouds disappear.

"It's strange how my past

Can make my future gray

Well, now, I will not let it

Ruin this Christmas Day

I'm going to change the way I am

To come up with a whole new plan

I know my friends will support me

Through historyyyyyyyyyy

I will change

I will change

A new future will be unfurled

I will change

I will change

My mind's no longer twirled

What will come

Well, one thing's for sure

I am not a Scrooge"

Sunset Shimmer then levitated off the ground. With the heat from her purple fire, all her fellow students were quickly thawed out. As soon as they could see again, they witnessed Sunset Shimmer heading towards the cloud. The Windigoes flew all around Sunset Shimmer trying to circle her.

"The future is not completely written in stone

Now that I know that I do not have to be alone

I can't see the future, but believe me when I say

THAT I'M NOT WHO I WAS! MY PAST IS NOT TODAAAAAAAYYYYY"

Suddenly, the purple fire around Sunset Shimmer burst from her body and the Windigoes were attacked by it. They quickly disappeared and the clouds were evaporating.

"I WILL CHANGE

I WILL CHANGE

MS. BAD GIRL HAS ALREADY LEFT

I WILL CHANGE

I WILL CHANGE

NO MORE LETTING ME BE BEREFT

HEAR ME CHEER

MY CHRISTMAS SPIRIT'S PUUUUUUURE

I AM NOT A SCROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOGE

I will make a whole new future"

Slowly, Sunset Shimmer landed softly on the snow on the ground and the fire burned out. All of Sunset Shimmer's friends cheered and hugged her. For the first time in a long while, Sunset Shimmer enjoyed the holidays.

Author's Note:

Just so you know, I made this song with the tune of Let It Go. I came up with how to put it in the story and I couldn't resist putting it in here. Anyway, I have one last chapter left, and I'm going to upload it on Christmas Eve.
