Chapter 25: Everypony Hates Snow

I flew as fast as I could. I didn't stop for the rain, or the sun, or even the snow, I just flew. It took me a day to finally find Star's house to the Far East.

I busted into the house, breaking the door as well.

"What in tarnation?" Star shouted in surprise when he heard the noise, and came rushing down stairs. "Who in the blazes are you?" Star asked, not recognizing my new outfit.

I shift my clothing back to look like the ones that they gave me. "Star, where is Clover?" I asked, worry in my voice.

"Spirit? Well Clover has already left with the Princess and the other unicorns to find new land. You missed them by a few days," Star told me.

"Which direction?" I growled, I had no time to waste.

"T-they headed to the south," Star told me, taken back by my hostility. "Spirit, what is the all about?"

I didn't have to time to play bucking twenty questions, so I left his house, and headed to the south. As I flew further to the south, snow began to fall, and the wind picked up.

"No, I don't care what you are," I said aloud to the storm. "I will save my friend!" I then created the second sonic rainboom in existence, causing the storm clouds to part that laid in my path.

I continued my path, but something caught my eye, something was heading towards me. Before I knew what it was, it had knocked me out of the sky, and I skidded on the ground.

"What the?" I ask, look back at what hit me. I looked up at the sky and a saw numerous horses like beings up there. These things looked like horse made from the storm itself, and they were standing in my way.

"Stand out of my way!" I yelled, and released a cone of fire, engulfing some of these horses, while the others ran. I then flew off, back on my path to find Clover. Every so often another one of those horse would try to ram into my again, but a fireball ended them quickly enough.

I began to fly lower after a few minutes of fighting those things, there were just too many of them. As I flew down, I could see faint lights down there. I flew down further, and could see three main clusters of light. I found all three tribes.

I touch ground at the area in-between them, and headed towards the unicorns.

"Halt! Who goes there!" Shouted a sentry as I approached.

"Where is Clover the Clever?" I asked, ignoring his question. The unicorn's horn began to glow.

"I will not ask again, who are you?" The sentry asked.

"I am Spirit Chaser, student of Star Swirl," I said annoyed at this pony. "Now where I Clover I will I have to set you on fire?" I threatened.

"M-my appoligies Spirit," The unicorn apologized. "Clover had left with the Princess to have a meeting with the other tribes in a cave up there," he pointed at the nearby mountain.

"Thanks," I said, as I speed off towards the mountain to find this cave.

The only cave I could find was sealed off by the ice thou, so it must have been this one. I quickly phased through the ice, and I couldn't believe what I saw.

I looked around and saw the other leaders of the tribes frozen in blocks of ice, with their face full of rage. I could also hear the familiar sound of those blasted horse, and found them circling the ceiling. I looked around for Clover, and I saw her at the back of the room, along with two other ponies, but the ice was consuming them as well, and had passed their face.

"No…" I said, falling to my knees. "I couldn't protect her." I said looking as the ice finally came to take her horn. But something odd happened, before the ice completely incase the horn, it released a strong stream of pink fire which consumed all of the horses that circled the celling. The horses gave a final whinny before they were gone.

The fire itself had changed shapes, and become a pink heart and hovered in the air, and melted all the ice in the cave.

I looked down back at Clover, and saw that she was ok, along with the other two ponies. I slowly approached the group.

"What was that?" asked the pegasus. He was a light blue pegasus, with a white tail and mane.

"I didn't know unicorns could do that," asked the earth pony. She has a light yellow coat, and a ginger colored mane and tail

"I didn't either. Nothing like this has ever happened before. But I know it couldn't have been just me. It came from all three of us, joined together, in friendship," Clover told them.

"You had come together in harmony," I said as I finally got near, catching their attention.

"Spirit?" Clover asked surprised. "What are you doing here?" The other two ponies just stared at me in my unicorn disguise.

"I-I just had a feeling that you were in danger," I told her. "So I came here to make sure my friend was safe." With that, Clover pulled me into a hug.

"Thanks for coming back," Clover said to me. We then heard a cough from the yellow pony.

"I'm sorry to interrupt this warm moment," She apologized, and pointed at the cave door, "But how are we going to get out of here?"

I looked over at the door, and noticed that it was already in the early stages of melting. I looked back at the leaders and saw that they were almost free now. "We wait for it to melt." I told her. "But until then, we have a meeting to start." I continued, and walked over toward the now defrosted leaders.

"Alright listen up!" I said aloud, to gain the confused leader's attentions. "We are currently trapped in this cave until it melts from the fire spell," I said, pointing at the heart. "Until then, we will be holding a meet to decide what to do with the tribes," I then walked back to Clover, and had them follow me.

"Um, what are we going to do?" asked the blue pony.

"We are going to start with the basics," I began as the leaders took their place next to their others. "What do you know about this land?"

"Well it is very fertile," The yellow pony stated.

"And full of gems," Platinum added, finding her voice.

"It also belongs to us!" Hurricane stated, trying to act strong, but his weariness prevents him.

"Hurricane, I suggest you shut up about that," I told him, not in the mood for this. Before he can talk back I continue. "And if you don't shut up, your ponies won't find your body till spring." That shut him up, and caused the other ponies to look at me in worry. "Good then. Now, what will we call it?"

After a few hours, the cave finally opened up, and we walked outside. It was still a blizzard going on out there, with those horses' brethren still running amuck.

We all walked down the mountain, and approached the camps, but were stopped when we heard loud noises. They were the sounds of battle.

"What in the?" Hurricane asked, recognizing the sound as well. "Who ordered an attack?" He asked, spinning around to face the other leaders.

"Don't look at me," Platinum said. "I see no reason to fight any of your kind." She replied still acting snobby.

"Yeah, and my ponies are not strong enough right now anyway," Puddinghead defended.

"Then why are they fighting?" Hurricane growled.

"Food, crime, for you guys, who know?" I reply as we continue forward.

"Pegausu, Stop!" Hurricane ordered in a loud voice, but was carried away with the wind. The other leaders tried to do that as well, but failed. "Blast, they can't hear us, or see us in this blasted storm." He said, stomping his hoof on the ground in frustration.

"Then we need to make ourselves be seen, or stop this storm," I look up, and see that a majority of those horses was gathered above us.

"Clover, Princess," I said, catching the unicorn's attention. "You both know a powerful fire magic?" I asked, and received a conformation from both. "Good, shot them at me," I said, catching Platinum by surprise, but Clover understood what I was planning.

Clover's horn began to light up with a magical build up, and Platinum did as well, just following's Clover's actions

"What in the name of Earth are you guys doing?" Puddinghead asked confused, and the assistants looked unsure as well.

The two unicorns fired their fire spells at me, and I could feel the stone take in the magical fire, and caused it to build up, and caused it to increase. I focused this foreign magic, and sent is straight up, creating a pillar of fire, and incinerated all of those horses above the camps.

The magic quickly left me, and the fire died out as well as the storm. "Finally the snow has stopped," I said to myself. I turned back to face the leaders, and their assistances, and saw their wide-eyes. "Go, your ponies need you," I told them, and the leaders took a moment to catch their bearing, and ran off towards their tribes, leaving only me and Clover behind.

"So, where have you been for the past few months?" Clover asked me with a smile. She started walking back to the unicorn tribe.

"Well, it all started with a large snake…." I said following her.

(6 years later)

It has been quite nice these past few years. The ponies are now working together. I have even managed to make myself a realistic looking body! I do still like dressing up in some disguises sometimes, but the new form is less suspicious.

My new form was a light grey pony. I had a shaggy mop of a mane, and a similar style tale. But I made sure my eyes remained that same bright green as my original body.

Wait, stay focused, I'm in the middle of something.

"Come on Star!" I yelled up to the old pony. "We are going to be late!" I could hear the pony grumbling as he came down stairs, dressed in his unusual way, with his bell hat.

"I still don't see why I need to go," Star complained.

"Oh come on then Star, you know how much you mean to her," I said, still trying to coax the old goat. We left out of the door of his new house. It took forever for me and Clover to convince him to come to Equestria, but he finally yielded after a year.

The two of us walked through the still being developed town; it was turning out to be quite a nice place.

"Do you still have the thing?" Star asked, not really caring.

"Yeah, kind a hard to lose it when you practically seal it in stone," I said tapped my chest.

"Hard to believe this day is finally here," Star said sadly. "She was such a promising student."

….

"She isn't dead Star," I said, I never understood his humor. "She just found herself a life. Something you are missing."

"And this coming from the dead?" Star asked. "And my life is my studies. I don't need anypony else," he continued.

"Ah, such a sad life you live in Star," I said playfully.

We continued walking, and exchanging words till we come to our destination. It was a tall building, with white marble walls, and stained glass windowed.

I looked around, and saw all of the ponies nearby, and I recognized a few of them. I separated from Star and went to speak to them.

"Hello Hurricane, Puddinghead, Platinum," I said to the ponies as I approached, gaining their attention.

"Ah, Hi Spirit!" Puddinghead said happily, and not dressed in that odd outfit. Instead he was dressed in an outfit made of white feathers, and some were falling off on the ground.

"Greetings Spirit," Platinum said respectfully. Ever since the whole Pillar of Fire incident, and the negotiations, she gave me her seat to represent the unicorns. I asked why she did that, and she told me she didn't want to deal with the migraines anymore.

"Hello Sprit," Hurricane said with a smile. "Have you reconsidered joining the armed forces?" He asked. He has wanted me to be a solider for a while now. He thinks my magic can give him an edge in any battle.

"It is nice to see you three here, and sorry Hurricane. I prefer keeping the battle fair," I told him my usual reason. "Where are the others?" I asked, not seeing Pansy or Cookie anywhere.

"They have already entered, and getting ready," Platinum stated, and pointed towards the door. I gave a nod, and continued inside, pushing through the crowd.

After a few minutes, I ended up finding Pansy pacing in one of the room, all dressed up in his uniform. When he saw me, he perked up, and approached me.

"Spirit, where have you been?" He asked me worried. "It is almost time. You know we can't do this without you."

"I'm sorry that I am late Pansy," I apologized. "Star is just stubborn as ever. So is everything ready?" I asked, and received a nod. "Alright, let's do this."

Pansy and I left the room, and entered a larger room, where numerous ponies were seated and talking to one another. I could see both Hurricane and Cookie all dressed up at the front with some others. The two of us went up to the front, and walked up the steps.

"Why aren't you nervous?" Pansy whispered.

"Why are you?" I asked him as the two of us took our places up front, and the music began to play. Everypony stopped talking, and turned to the back.

Clover then entered the room, dressed in her white gown. A small light brown filly unicorn walked beside her throwing flowers, and a young brown colt held two bands on a pillow

Clover approached the front, and stood before a white unicorn dressed in an odd manner. As she stood in front of the pony, the music stopped.

"Dearly Beloved," The unicorn began. "We are gathered here today in the presence of these witnesses, to joining of these two ponies in matrimony commended to be honorable among all; and therefore is not to be entered into lightly but reverently, passionately, lovingly and solemnly. Into this - these two ponies present now come to be joined. If any person can show just cause why they may not be joined together - let them speak now or forever hold their peace." He paused and no one dared speak up, not with me, Hurricane, and Star in the room.

"Very well," The unicorn continued. "Who gives this mare to be wed?" He asked, motioning towards Clover.

"I, Spirit Chaser, give Clover the Clever to be wed," I stated my lines.

"And who gives this stallion to be wed?" The unicorn continued.

"I, Commander Hurricane, give Private Pansy to be wed," Hurricane spoke his lines.

"Now the couple will read their vows," The unicorn stated.

I, Clover, take you Pansy, to be my husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part," Clover spoke up.

Pansy was hesisant to follow, but found strength to continue. "I, Pansy, take you, Clover, to be my wife, my friend, my faithful partner and my love from this day forward. In the presence our family and friends, I offer you my solemn vow to be your faithful partner in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad, and in joy as well as in sorrow. I promise to love you unconditionally, to support you in your goals, to honor and respect you, to laugh with you and cry with you, and to cherish you for as long as we both shall live," Pansy told Clover.

Pansy took one of the bands from the pillow. "I Pansy give you Clover, this band as an eternal symbol of my love and commitment to you," He said as he put the band on her hoof.

Clover took a hold of the remaining band. "I Clover give you Pansy, this band as an eternal symbol of my love and commitment to you," She said as she put the band on him.

"By the power vested in me by the Equestria, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride." And they did just that.

After the ceremony, and the party, I approached the new couple.

"Congratulations," I tell them, gaining their attention.

"Thank you for coming Spirit," Clover said to me, and Pansy noded.

"I always have time for a friend," I said happily. "I have a gift for you two," I said, and reached inside of my chest, and pulled out the gift. Clover takes it with her magic, and opens it up. She gasps at what she sees.

In the box was a tree, made entirely of crystals. There was a star shaped symbol in the middle, and it branched out, showing 5 different colored gems. At the end of each branch hung a string of gems.

"Spirit, it is beautiful?" Clover said awestruck. "How did you make this?" Her curiosity still remaining.

"You'll be surprised what my stone can do with a bag of gems." And a special red book. "It is my gift to you two." I told them

"Thank you Spirit, it is wonderful," Clover said putting it back into the box for safety.

"Remember Clover, I'm Spirit. When I am around, the wonderful follows," I joked.
