The heavy blaster-proof door groaned in protest as its mechanism slid it open. Backlit by the corridor lighting was the silhouette of a small robed, hooded figure. The figure reached over and tapped a panel on the interior wall of the room. After second or so a series of overhead lights flickered into existence.

The room was mostly empty except for three items. The first was large lounge chair clad in a leather of unknown origin. The second was small glass and polished metal end table that sat to the left of the chair. The third and most impressive item in the room was a carbonite bed hanging on the wall directly across from the chair that contained the encased form of Princess Celestia.

The small figure entered the room and closed the door behind them. The figure then walked over to the carbonite bed and stopped in front of it. With impish grin Cozy Glow pushed back the hood of her robe and looked up at the trapped princess. Still grinning she removed a comm pad from a pocket on her robe. The filly's grin grew bigger as she activated the pad. However after a few seconds the grin faded and was replaced by a frown. The shell pink filly started jabbing her finger at pad with increasing frustration. Under breath she muttered.

"Stupid Bluehoof! It never works like they say it should!"

After much more cursing and threatening to force chuck the comm pad against the wall the rebellious electronic device behaved and it made a connection with the occupant in the carbonite bed. Cozy looked up at the imprisoned alicorn and grinned again.

"Well what do you know! Lord Tirek wasn't lying when he said you never stopped glaring at him and cursing his name even as you were encased. Very impressive. A useless gesture, but still impressive."

After a few seconds text started appearing on the comm pad. Cozy giggled read the message and looked back up. "Those big threats for something that looks like it should be hanging on the wall of some Honeymoon Suite, but I doubt you'll be able to make any of them reality!"

More text appeared on the screen and the pegasus filly laughed. "Well Chrysalis has Cadence in her possession Link so we just need to get a hold of your annoying sister Luna."

A flurry of more text marched up the screen. Cozy Glow glared at it and then back at the alicorn. "Yes! Technically your annoying protege has been rescued, but that's only because Lord Sombra is a pompous fool! Link We had her trapped like you are now, and some how that blowhard succeeded in having her stolen out from right under his nose!"

The filly raised her arms and slowly twirled in place. "You'll see that Lord Tirek had taken provisions assure that you're nice and secure. Deep underground in the shielded vaults of his fortified sanctum, and not on display in the damn foyer of a penthouse like that buffoon Sombra did!" The filly growled. "And then his stupid house staff let Twilight's friends to come in disguised as the cleaning staff and TELEPORT HER AWAY!!" The filly roared.

The filly turned away from the carbonite bed and lowered her head as she clenched her hands into fists. After a few seconds more text appeared on the screen Cozy read the message as her jaw clenched tight as she spun around screamed.

"JUST SHUT UP! YOU'RE NOTHING BUT A GLORIFIED BOWLING TROPHY NOW!!"

The filly turned and started stomping toward the door. She'd just reached the control panel when the comm pad chimed one last time. Her face turned beet red and she looked back the encased princess. Suddenly the comm pad rocketed out her hand and slammed into the wall next to the carbonite bed and shattered into dozens of pieces. Cozy opened the door and turned off the lights in the room. As she left and closed the door she muttered to herself.

"She's such a troll."
