Welcome to Gaia! ::

good idea!))

He gave Brisk a small bow when she complimented his creations, his ego a little inflated.

"I've been here a long time.." He sipped at his glass, leaving it about half gone with the milk suspended in the air. He eyed Starshine warily, trying to see if she was up to anything. "I stay out here to avoid ponies.. Particularly a couple alicorns.." He shuddered. "really, this part of the forest is more MINE than equestria's...." He finished off his glass and tossed the milk out of a nearby window.
"Well, as much as I'm humbled by having visitors, i'm afraid I just don't know what to do with you two. I can't have you run back to your precious.... what do you call it? Kingdom? Queendom? It's so hard to tell when neither princess will step up to the throne... anyway, I can't let you run back and tell anyone about me, but forcing you to stay here would be pointless..." He leaned back and pressed his fingertips together. "So, what to dooooo..... Any ideas?" he seemed legitimate in his question.

Eclipse looked out of the window and saw the alicorn, and quickly painicked again. "NO ONE! No one lives here! See?" He snapped his fingers and everything disappeared, including himself, leaving the girls by themselves. He, meanwhile, had teleported to a part of the forest a few miles away. He quickly realized his mistake in letting the two ponies go in his panic, and began to angrily pace.
"Well, I could go after them, but there was an alicorn there... Probably related to the princesses. But what could one alicorn do? If I go, though, he may surprise me with some kind of magic... If I don't, those ponies will give away my location..." As he fumed, a cotton candy storm began to grow above his head, thundering and threatening lightning strikes. High above, a rainbow-maned pegasus ran headfirst into the cloud.
Hey! What the? Rainbow dash licked the cotton candy off of her face and growled as she recognized the chaos. Discord! It looks like he had a little friend... Well, I have some friends, too! She took off as fast as she could towards ponyville, rushing to tell Twilight about her discovery.

Hope nobody minds me getting the mane six involved.))

Starshine glared at Eclipse, not enjoying being talked down to in the slightest. Starshine was a lot of things, stupidly rash was one of them, but so was cunningly observant. She knew that as long as the Draconequus was at least semi-afraid of the ponies and their princess, she had the upperhand; at least in theory. She also knew that if the Draconequus were to suddenly get over this fear, than her and her sister would be pretty throughly screwed beyond all help. It was a gamble, but it was one she was willing to take. "Whoa, whoa, whoa! If you think you can try and keep us here against our will then you've got another thing coming! Now we may not tell the princess about you, but only on our terms! We are not gonna sit here and be threatened by-" at this point, Brisk sighed and slowly shook her head in disproval, giving herself a face-hoof to further emphasize her frustration. She looked over to her sister and stopped her before she could continue her rant.

"Star, darling? Could you be a dear and shut your Celestia-damned mouth for a second while the big kids talk? As much as the idea of you making a complete a** out of yourself amuses me, I really think you should shut up while you're ahead." Brisk cleared her throat and looked back to Eclipse. "Again, you'll have to exscuse her...I actually do have an idea, one that I think will satisfy all of us."

Before Brisk could tell them all whatever had been on her mind, their conversation was interupted by a voice from out side. Just as he had done when her and Brisk had arrived, Eclipse once again panicked. The next moment Starshine was out of her chair and on her rump, the house of cards having completely disapeared. Eclipse teleported away as well, leaving them on their own once more. Starshine managed to catch a glimpse of the pony that the voice had belonged to before he teleported off to catch Eclipse. She rubbed her eyes with her hooves, convinced that what she saw couldn't have been real. It had looked like the mysterious pony that had called out to them had been an alicorn, but that was impossible! Princess Celestia and Luna were the only alicorns...weren't they? Starshine got up and looked at her sister, a frown on her face. "Well...What do we do now?"

Dark Freeze pulled out his book of Illusions, and created a gaint sword that sliced the cloud apart. "I am not like the princesses, I would never do that! Yes, I am an Alicorn, but that does not mean I turn ponies to stone!" He said Walking towards him. "Rainbowdash is the element of loyalty, who is about to tell Twilight Sparkle, the element of Magic, that you are here. I suggest you accept my help, so that you dont turn to stone."

Dark Freeze shook his claw. "Im Dark Freeze." He said, smiling. "Now, just play along. Hopefully, if it works, you will have some new friends, not get turned to stone, and maybe even learn some new "non-chaos" magic."

Eclipse smiled a little as he saw Brisk and Starshine flying towards them, finally deciding that he would trust them.
"Well, hello, ladies! Come on down and meet our new friend!" He snapped his fingers and a nearby rainbow bent itself out of shape, forming a gigantic slide for them that ended at his feet.


Meanwhile, Rainbow Dash and the other 5 ponies were in a secret meeting with Princess Celestia, discussing what was to be done about the draconequus living in the Everfree forest, and what he might possibly be planning.
I'm telling you, he's here to free Discord! Rainbow Dash shouted, slamming her hoof on the table. He didn't see me, so I say we get him while we still have the element of surprise!
I wouldn't be so sure, Rainbow... Twilight argued. If he's hidden this long, he obviously has better control over his powers, don't you think that would mean that he's more powerful than Discord? Why would he only want to free someone less powerful than him? Why now, instead of before we could use the elements?
Well, I say we barge into that there forest and rope him up good, then ask questions! AppleJack said, nodding her agreement to Rainbow Dash
I don't even want to think about what he's been doing to the animals in the everfree forest... I think that we should get him someplace that he can't do any harm.. Fluttershy Mumbled.
Then, we are all agreed? We shall move to the offensive, rather than waiting for an attack? Luna asked, making sure not to use the Royal Canterlot Voice.
Alright then. We strike tomorrow, I'll retrieve the elements of Harmony from their vault... Celestia stood and flared her wings.And let us all pray that we are not too late...

Eclipse shook his head. "Tut, tut, starshine! This fellow says that he's here to help... and as for the fact that he's an alicorn, until today, did you not think that Discord was the only draconequuis?" (sorry, I forgot how to spell it..)

He didn't let them see that mentioning his childhood friend hurt a bit, and he couldn't help but see the battle from a thousand years ago over again in his mind..

Starshine bit her lip, not quite ready to fully trust this Alicorn or Eclipse. "Yeah I guess you have a point there...Still though, didn't you have a reason to be in hiding? I can't think of any reason why an Alicorn would need to hide..." Starshine looked over to her sister, who was already shaking the pony's hoof. Reluctantly she followed suit. "Freezy huh? And just how do you plan on helping us all out? Until you arrived I didn't even know there was a problem," she grumbled.

"Now really Star, is there any reason to be so rude?" Brisk rolled her eyes, shaking her head at her sister before turning back towards Dark Freeze. "Ancient blood line you say? That's sounds absolutly intriging! If you get the chance I love to take a look at this book you speak of."
