As Starswirl The Bearded protects Private Pansy, Smart Cookie and Twilight Sparkle with his grey, magical Force Field, generating from his Unicorn horn, as the creature before them waves the Staff Of Sacanas around, in circles and circles, the Crystal on the Staff begins to glow a Icey blue hue, thousands and thousands of little tiny grains of sands, and snowflakes, coming out of the Crystal, coming in droves at the four Ponies, spiralling around them, in a windy effect, almost like a tornado of sand and snow, bouncing off the magical Shield, Starswirl grunts as a lightning strike suddenly crackling all around them, the day turning to night.
"Any ideas!!!?" Starswirl shouts, curious, struggling to hold up the Shield, trying with all his might to keep it cast, groaning, shifting his eyes to the others, Twilight squirms and sits down, covering her face, shivers going down her spine, Pansy whines and hides herself behind Twilight, Cookie then thinks to herself as Twilight sighs.
"I... I don't know.. This is all my fault!! I should have ignored my nightmares!!!" Twilight yells and sobs to herself, shaking in fear, Cookie sighs and looks at Twilight, and then back at the creature generating the storm.
"Ok... Pansy... you and Starswirl go and distract him so I can go and tie him up, and Twilight will go and destroy the beast, as she knows about it, ok?" Cookie seems to suggest, Starswirl and Pansy both not, Starswirl shifting his eyes to Twilight, sighing.
"I should have taking you concern serious..." Starswirl says, before letting go of the Shield and teleporting everyone away from the storm.

After teleporting away, all four of the Ponies appear on some sort of hill, behind the white, furry creature, Twilight Sparkle whimpers a little, shaking.
"I... This wont work... We're gonna die..." Twilight says as shivers continue to go down here spine and all around her body, Starswirl The Bearded shakes his head and puts his hoof on her shoulder, sighing a small bit.
"And if we do... It will be together... As friends..." Starswirl states, Twilight sighs and looks over at him, giving a light smile to him.
"Ok then... Lets do this..." Twilight says, before Private Pansy and Starswirl rush into the creatures direction.

As Starswirl The Bearded and Private Pansy, charge over to the creature, Smart Cookie looks over at Twilight Sparkle, smiling softly.
"Hey... You got this... Just think about us..." Cookie says before running off the hill, getting her Rope in her mouth, Twilight shivers as she watches, lightly nodding.
