Love Shall Overcome
Fluttershy exited the hospital room she had been resting in, finding that her friends were all sitting around a table while intensely discussing with each other. To her surprise, she found that Celestia was not there despite Luna being there, making her wonder if something had happened in Canterlot. She walked over to them to tell them what she had learned about Freeze, but she her tiny voice couldn't be heard over the louder ponies there. Luna eventually noticed her and alerted the other ponies to her presence, where she was immediately crushed as her friends all hugged her at once.
"We're so glad to see that you are alright," Rarity said to her once they had released Fluttershy, the yellow Pegasus trying to regain her breath. "Twilight told us that you had willingly gone back to that madman. We had feared that he might hurt you again, but it seems that you are tougher than believed."
"Of course we are. Pegasi are the toughest ponies around," Rainbow said with a smile as she pulled Fluttershy into a one armed hug. "It will take a lot more than snow or ice to stop us."
"It is good that you are here Fluttershy, because I have a few questions to ask you," Cadence said in a royal tone, telling Fluttershy that whatever she needed to talk about was important. Fluttershy decided to save the information about Victor for later as she sat down with the others, Cadence clearing her throat before she began to speak. "With Fluttershy now here, I am going to go over our idea again. As you already know Fluttershy, my special magic allows me to fix damaged relationships or hearts that have lost their love. In short, I can get a pony to become compassionate or to love another. This is what we plan to use on Freeze."
"I don't understand," Fluttershy said with a confused look. "I thought that you couldn't make a pony love another against their will?"
"Normally, I cannot," Cadence said before a smile crept across her face. "And I also know that normally my magic wouldn't affect him due to the crystal heart within him, but that heart will be his weakness. See, the heart is powered by love and empowers love, so my loves spell will only be supercharged by the heart and Freeze will begin to feel love again."
"And why are we doing this to him?" Fluttershy asked her, confused by the plan and a little worried for the safety of Freeze. "That seems cruel, even for...someone like Freeze." Cadence looked to Shining Armor then down to her baby before she decided to answer.
"So that we can examine his armor and talk to him about where he came from...and maybe we can get out why he's here. A few days ago I would have had no problem just blasting him, but due to him...saving me and you, I felt that this is the only way that we'll be able to get him to cooperate with us," she said with a sigh that told Fluttershy that she was tired. "He won't allow us to talk to him otherwise and he might try to freeze us if we annoy him. If he is filled with love for us though, it will make it easier to get him out of the palace. It's the only way."
"You could try asking him," Fluttershy said softly, all of the ponies looking at her with looks that said "really?" as she slightly hid under the table. "He can be nice." The ponies ignored that statement and all began to talk to themselves again as Cadence decided that it was time to go, Fluttershy thinking up one flaw in their plan as the ponies all began to head for the door. "Um wait! He already has somepony he-"
"Miss Shy, we need you to come with us for a while," a doctor said to her, cutting her off. "We'd like to do one more x-ray." Fluttershy tried to argue, but she quickly found herself getting dragged back to the examination room. Meanwhile Cadence and the ponies walked into the crystal palace (nopony had bothered to repair the door yet) and headed into the laboratory, the entire time Cadence was going over her plan in her head. There they found Freeze, who was still trying to repair the damage done to his suit, though he did stop when he saw the ponies approach.
"I am in no mood for your babble today. Kindly leave and do not return," he said to them in a tone that told the ponies that his patience was already thin, though Luna stepped forward with rage in her eyes at his attitude.
"I think that we have been more than patient with you, Freeze. You came to our land, kicked the princesses out of her home and attacked anypony who tried to so much as speak with you," Luna said in a cold tone. Freeze turned to look at her with no emotion, though he did tell her to get on with it. "I am telling you this once Freeze. Either come with us or you will be forced out." Cadence could have sworn that Luna's threat almost caused Freeze to smile, but his frosty demeanor returned and he shook his head at Luna.
"You disappoint me Luna, you know that none of you or your ponies stand a chance against me," he said in a threatening tone. "Your magic cannot work on me," he said to her as a pink aura began to surround him, Freeze not in the least bit worried. "The crystal heart will..." He stopped talking there as he began to back up a bit, feeling a weird sensation course through his cold body. He blinked twice and looked up at the ponies, confused as to why he was beginning to feel...love for them. But even though he couldn't figure out why he was feeling it, the spell was causing the love for them to increase every second.
"I don't believe it, it's actually working," Cadence heard Rainbow whisper to Rarity behind her.
"Come on Victor, all we want to do is talk," Cadence said in a kind tone as the magic completely surrounded him. "Come with us. What you're doing in here isn't as important as us." She was completely right, he shouldn't be in here. He should go with them; he should be focused on making them happy.
'They are what's important to me now,' he thought to himself as he began to walk towards them. 'I do not need to be in here, I do not need to make the cure. Why would I make a cure for someone who is already gone anyway? Why do I subject myself to failed experiment to failed experiment for her, when I could be happy with them, when...when I could be happy...no. No, my happiness is not important. How can I be happy without my beloved Nora by my side?'
"Come on Freeze, we want to take you to see our scientist friends," Cadence said again as she used more of her magic. But despite the fact that the crystal heart was indeed fueling her spell and that its effects were ten times stronger than usual, none of them could see behind the emotionless face that Freeze wore. And all the only emotion there was wrath.
"Cadence, stop now," Luna whispered, realizing what was happening.
'How could I allow myself to lose sight of what's truly important?! My happiness means nothing! Only hers does! Only when she is happy can I truly be HAPPY! Her love is the only love I need!' Freeze let a scream loose as he threw his arms back, shattering the spell that was trying to overwrite his one love. The ponies were knocked back a bit as he shattered the spell, but all of them saw the cold darkness on his face as he slowly looked up at them. Faster than they could react he fired beams of ice at them, Freeze all of them but Cadence to the wall behind them. She looked back to her friends before looking back at Freeze, who was now towering over her, seething with rage.
"T-this is impossible! You shouldn't be able to resist. Not unless you already..."
"You," he said in a whisper that caused Cadence's soul to freeze with fear. "You tried to take control of my heart, tried to get me to care for you inferior creatures. But you failed to grasp one, crucial fact." He grabbed her by the throat as he said this and lifted her up, his grip freezing her slightly. "My heart was given to some else years ago. And no amount of magic will take it from them." He then brought his right hand back, narrowing his eyes as he prepared to strike.
'Victor.' freeze's eyes widened as he heard his wife whisper into his ear, stopping his wrath from overflowing. Freeze then slightly shook his head before looking at the terrified Cadence...and then to the child she held within her. For a long moment he did not move, but then he dropped her to the ground, the rage still in his eyes.
"I will remember what you have done today," he said to them in a cold fury. "Do not think that I will forgive this slight so easily this time." he glared at all of them as he said this, allowing Cadence to free her trapped friends while looking at Freeze with both fear and confusion. He was about to turn and head back to his work when the ponies all began to feel the earth shake beneath them. All of them wondered what was going on as Luna rushed from the palace and ran outside, where she was quickly joined by the others and Freeze, all of whom were stopped cold in their tracks by what they saw.
"Is that...a dinosaur?" Twilight asked in disbelief as she and the other processed what they were looking at. The creature looked like a T-Rex, but it had a horn on its head and it had scales covering its body like a snake. But one thing that all the ponies knew about it was that it was dangerous, as it turned its gaze upon all of them with a roar.
"Come ponies, let us-!" Luna began until she looked into its eyes, turning to stone almost immediately. The other ponies gasped as they saw this, only to look up at the creature as it threw back its head and roared, shaking the city to the core.
"Oh this is bad," Twilight said as the creature began to turn to face them.
'Understatement of the century,' Freeze thought as he prepared his Freeze rays, knowing this would not be an easy fight.

I'm still trying to figure out where exactly Sombra found T-Rex DNA, or became a scientist/paleontologist/doctor to understand everything he's doing. I'm finding it hard to believe that he went from hissing 'crystal' to 'Now I just need to mix the DNA of a dinosaur and several other creatures' because he was knocked for a loop by a rapidly expanding love shield.
Silly ponies, Freeze DOES have a heart.
Wow, the chapter was intense.
4953743 Yeah, don't try to think too hard about this fic... nothing in it makes any sense at all.
4953743 Considering he had the least amount of exposure as a villain in the show, anything can happen in the world of headcanon
Meanwhile, this was yet another riveting chapter. Who would've thought that Sombra would birth such a fierce beast?
Damn! When Sombra goes to take somepony out, he doesn't to do it in half steps or half measures, does he?
Will we get to see the other five champions soon?
4953882
They're the previous stories.
No one EVER listens to Fluttershy
I wonder what would happen if Cadence tried to use her magic on someone like, oh say, Davy Jones from Pirates of the Caribbean?
Congatulations everypony, you pissed off Mr. Freeze.
Could have just listened to Fluttershy, but no. He will be more hostile as ever.
Stupid poinies.
4953901 Doom.
4953895 Nope.
4953996
you know what you just said put me in mind of a line from the latest chapter of Horse Feathers by Lord of Dorkness
As for the dinotrice...
*looks at chapter names*

Typical pony MO: if you can't get it to see your way through reason, brainwash it.
Fun Fact, the team of MLP was actually going to base an episode around a dinosaur who would have been voiced by Jeff Goldblume; sadly, he didn't want to and thus the episode was never made.
4953890
Thanks, which stories, so I know which ones to go to?
4954300
Captain Marvel, Hulk, Batmare, Trixie and Mr. B.
4954472
. Will there be a conclusion story for all of them?
Okay, thanks
4954600
Yep.
Puny ponies! Your brain washing ways have been foiled! And plus when Sombra wants to kill someone he dosen't half arse it either. XD
I don't agree with what Cadence did. But despite the fact that Freeze has endured a terrible loss, people seem to forget he has acted like a total bastard to ponies who have had nothing to do with Freeze previously, and thus endangered an entire kingdom with his spiteful actions. Cadence must do what she can. Strangely enough, Cadence learned a lesson in love from this very man.
4954295
The man who fought dinosaurs would play one. Genius casting
4955196
True, although it would probably have been rather funny to hear the dinosaur talk about chaos theory on a kinds show...
At first i was pissed off because i thought the spell had actually worked...
Then I kept reading. Thank God I did!
I think I am literaly in love with the author for not making magic into basically God's will! I liked this fic before, but now I love it!
4953743 AU tag, deal with it
Hah, Cadence should've heard Fluttershy out.
Now the ponies pretty much ruined their only chance of getting closer to Victor.
4955608 eeyup
4953743 Magic
Little surprised the spell didn't supercharge him or something.
4954029 Cool.
Why exactly does freeze help the ponies? I mean I already think it is far strechted that he hasn't killed one of them yet by doing that to his heart. They tried to overwrite his love for Nora and I do believe that's the one thing Freeze is still willing to kill for (you said it yoursef). Also it looks really strange, Not trying to kill them on it's own is already far strechted by now, but actively helping them so fast after they pulled shit like that on him sorry, but I don't buy it. I am sure of it by now whilst maybe he would let them leave unharmed (that's generous already) he would definitely let them fend for themselves against that T-rex.
What he said.
4953743 On a world with dragons, giant reptiles are really a good posibility of having existed and he was a king and king's are collectors so it's not too hard to believe that he collected some bones of ancient creatures and being interested in paleontology is not too hard to believe.
About the crystal thing perhas he just needed some time to gather himelf; I always imagined him like being a prototype being released too soon. Unlike the empire he wasn't ready to reappear, but was forced to do it anyway in order to get to it first and thus unlike the empire was not in peek condition hence the shadow form.
4953743 My headcanon is that the MLP Dinosaurs didn't go extinct. Instead, they evolved wings and the ability to breathe fire
4959094 Yeah, why extinct dinos if they could have simply evolved into Dragons? Making dinos the ancient ancestors of dragons?
What will kill the dinosaur? THE ICE AGE!!!!!
5012266 "Hey, Chill out"
delete "she"
This could conceivably be correct as written, but should it be "my love spell"?
No grammatical or spelling errors, but wow that's a too-convenient plot development. What happened to Fluttershy's spine when defending creatures? I hope having them attempt and fail the spell was really so necessary that you had to shoehorn this in for the sake of the story you wanted to tell.
4959094
Unless magic is involved, your head cannon sounds stupid.
But either way you are lucky to be alive you little bi*boom*
5013070 nICE pun you got there...
5087305
Just shut up with your nitpicking..
The plot armor on the ponies is really obvious.
5854300
But that's the beautiful part of imagination.
