3rd Companion: Girls, Bravo! [Visual][Locked from Zetta and Lord Zedd]

[thedoctorsmate]

[Donna's expression is not a happy one when she appears on the scroll, but it is determined. Andrew isn't here right now, which means someone has to pick up the slack. She's addressing Celestia directly, but the scroll is open. Everyone needs to hear this.]

Princess Celestia, where exactly is Stalliongrad, and what's the fastest way to get there? If you've seen Zetta's message, we need to know immediately.

Or... Alastor. You're the one who can teleport, right? I remember seeing on the scrolls. Can you use Zetta's scroll message to get a group of fighters to where he is to stop him?

[A white unicorn with yellow hair appears on scroll, sipping a cup of tea.]

I can lend my skills to help him. A frozen wasteland doesn't sound like a very nice place.

[Visual]

[thedoctorsmate]

[Unicorns were good, yes. They might not freeze with a unicorn present.] Thanks. I'm Donna, by the way. We'll need all the help we can get. He sent me to the moon once, so we'll need someone with magic to combat him.

[Mami curtsies.]

It's nice to meet you, Donna-san. I'm Mami Tomoe. As for magic...

[Mami does some sort of elaborate magical transformation sequence, ending it with a smile before whipping a couple guns from out of ribbons. It's like she's a magical girl from one of those japanese animes.]

I don't think that's going to be much of a problem.

[superstylishsquid]

It's a bit generic looking, but if I target the ruins...maybe. But I'm...kind of in the middle of something right now. As much as I want to help show that idiot how badly he's overestimated himself, I'm having some...I guess you could call them family problems. Maybe.

I might be able to send you there, though, if you can find your own way back.

[thedoctorsmate]

We'll figure out the way back. He's got a major head start. We need to find whatever he's looking for and... probably destroy it before he gets his hands - hooves - on it. Sorry to hear you can't help otherwise, but just getting us there would put us a step ahead of where we might be.

[superstylishsquid]

I'll see if I can manage it. I'll have to examine the image carefully, though, since I need a solid image of where I want to send somepony.

[It isn't the Celestia Donna may have been expecting, but a Celestia does anser, nonetheless.]

Stalliongrad is far to the north. We can take a train to near that location, but we will have to find other means of travel after that. Sled may be the fastest option for those that cannot fly.

[Visual]

[thedoctorsmate]

[Well, that outfit is a dead giveaway, but she'll take what she can get on princesses.]

Alastor's said he might be able to teleport a group of us. I think that might be the quickest thing to try first, captain. I'm going to pack and set up something for the group to head out at the Library. Do you know anything more about this Frozen Fire of Friendship? Or the Stalliongrad ruins? It doesn't seem like Zetta got the exact location.

[Visual]

[solequus]

I do, if that helps.

[Oh hello, here's a serious Celestia.]

Stalliongrad was once the location of a very old but powerful pony civilization. Legend has it that it was there where the windigos were first born. It was also there that the first Fire of Friendship came to be created, in order to drive away the windigos.

Unfortunately, the alicorn ruler of Stalliongrad became arrogant with the power the city now offered, and she attempted to use the Fire of Friendship to rule the world. Instead, the fire was corrupted, and windigos took advantage of this corruption to transform the flame into the Frozen Fire, which changed the alicorn into a block of ice and destroyed the kingdom of Stalliongrad with a single icy blast. Its said that anypony who touches the Frozen Fire of Friendship with a corrupt heart can freeze the world over with a single blast.

I can help you and anypony else who needs it. I'm sure that it goes without saying that Zetta must not get his hooves on the Frozen Fire of Friendship.

[mechmadeoflove]

Count me in on this. I have a flight-capable walker; With help I may be able to get some people to Stalliongrad.

[thedoctorsmate]

Thanks! Your name's Joshua, right? I've seen you on the scrolls. My name's Donna. There's someone here who's going to try to teleport us, but he's not sure how precise he can be. We'll be meeting at the Library. Someone to help get around in case we aren't on top of whatever it is were looking for would be good. And someone to deal with Zetta... how are you with evil, magical overlords?

[mistweaver]

My healing talents are at your service! [So sayeth the zebra in response.]

I am not certain what else I might do, but I am not afraid of the cold by any means. I spent some time up in Northrend, back on Azeroth, and that was a rather cold place. My fur may no longer be so thick, but I imagine we could find some cold weather gear? And I do have some brew I can bring along!

[thedoctorsmate]

[Donna doesn't know any of those places, but it's good enough for her! The more healers the merrier, as far as she's concerned. They're probably going to need a fair few of them before all is said and done.]

Thank you! I don't think we've met, yet. I'm Donna. The shops have got some cold weather gear, and the shopkeeps said they'll lend it out for us. No one wants Zetta to win. We're all meeting down at the Library. D'you know where that is?

[Visual]

[kingofthetvworld]

This would be so much easier if we had penguins!

[I... got nothing. That was apparently his first thought after seeing the leaked message. Somehow, someway penguins would've solved everything.

No one said bears were battle strategists, okay.]

[Visual]

[thedoctorsmate]

[Oh... oh, no, it's that cute little bear she's been seeing on the scrolls. He's about as nonsensical as usual.]

I imagine a polar bear could wrangle us a few penguins if he puts his mind to it.

[fckingcazadors]

How exactly are you planning for this to work?

[thedoctorsmate]

[You say that as if she's got a plan. Donna runs with the Doctor. Plans get made up as you go along. She's pretty sure that's not going to be the answer he wants to hear, though, so she thinks about it a moment before replying.]

I think a lot of it's going to have to come as we go. Right now, though, we've got a means to get there, cold weather gear from the shopkeepers in town, plenty of offers from fighters, healers, and thinkers, and the help of the only two ponies who probably know more about this than Zetta right now.

When we get there, we'll have to find the Frozen Flame before he does. That might mean half of us keeping Zetta occupied while the other half look. Once we've got it, my vote is destroying it or handing it over to anyone with wings and telling them to hop it while the rest of us stop Zetta going after them. If they can get it back to Canterlot and Princess Celestia follows after, I think they can keep it safe.

[forwhomthebelltolls]

If it fighters hyu vant, hy vould be willing to help.

[thedoctorsmate]

[That is a very strong accent from a very strange-looking pony. Donna's not one to turn down help, though. She knows she's seen the other mare about the commune.]

We'll need every bit of it we can get, Mamma. Thank you! We're meeting down at the Library. I don't think we've really met, by the way. I'm Donna.

[visual]

[needsteaplz]

You can definitely count me in, Donna. This time Zetta's gone too far.

[visual]

[thedoctorsmate]

[She could have told Saori that when he'd sent her to the moon. The mare nods, though.]

We're all meeting up at the Library. Celestia should be here soon and Alastor's teleporting us. We'll stop him; we have to.

[wizardofharmony]

I shall join you. Zetta must be stopped.

If his Wendigo are anything like the ones from my world, they cannot be allowed to be summoned.

[thedoctorsmate]

Thanks... Lucia, right? [This is the other other Twilight. Equestria doesn't seem to have a shortage of them. Which is probably a good thing, all things considered.]

We're all meeting at the Library. What are Wendigos, though? I'm not really up on my mythology from that part of the world on my planet.

[misplacedxsheath]

It would be a lie to claim I'm at my best in the cold, but it sounds as if it would be far worse than to allow him to succeed. I have multiple abilities that will be useful in attempting to find the Frozen Flame before him.

[thedoctorsmate]

Lay 'em on me... Margulis? [She's tried to keep track of most of the scrolls going out and around, even if she hasn't responded. And this is Saori's friend, if she recalls rightly.] And head toward the Library while you're at it. We're waiting on the princesses and our ride out there, but it shouldn't be long.
