How had it come to this? Perry couldn't help but wonder.

It probably all started with Arcee's disappearance. Perry had agreed to go out looking for her, even though he had a feeling she would be like Fluttershy and return eventually. Then again maybe she wouldn't, but Perry didn't mind the excuse to get back out there and explore this world. He'd headed back to File Island on a whim, never having spend that much time there. On the way, he'd heard news of the Gears and his mission had shifted a bit to coming to investigate.

Cue his arrival on the island, scoping out the place with Bartholomew and Gertrude, and then being attacked later that afternoon by a not so little pony.

Which is what leads to the answer that started this whole thing. He hears the cry of the pony and looks up. He thought he'd gotten out of his line of fire but apparently not. Perry's eyes widen, but there's nothing to fear as his wizarding digimon duo is there.

"Magic Game!"
"Ice Illusion!"

The two spells wove together to form a reflective ice-based barrier that would hopefully withstand the attack.
