Third Person POV

Midnight

The light subsides, and reveals non other then Andrew and Kurama as a solid statue. Everyone rubs theirs from the blinding light, blinking a couple of times to adjust their vision. The first to react is Midnight.

He looks on uneasily at the sight of his father's body looking as solid as rock. He takes a tentative steps towards his father with his arm stretched out.

''Papa?''

He walks on with wobbly legs, unsure at what he's seeing. Who knows if his mind is just playing tricks on him or not, but he needs to find out. He doesn't know what the girls did, or why the princess ordered them to use the elements of harmony on his father.

What are the elements of harmony? Is that what they did to papa?

He stands in front of the statue of his father. A calm look on his stone face. He puts a hand on his father's leg, Pa-..............papa?

Midnight grips the stone leg of his father, anger and sadness are the two emotions that are now flooding his whole body and mind. He knows something isn't right with his father. Why his body so hard and cold? He knows very well that his body never felt this way before. His grip tightens around his father's leg as tears flow down like a river over a cliff. He adruptly turns around with a menacing and hurt look on his face as he points a finger at the girls.

"Why did you do to my daddy?!?!" He screams out with much hurt in his voice.

Everyon looks at the piercing teary gaze hs sets upon on everyone, looking at one another with sorrowful looks. No one speaks up. Celestia is the to walk on over to go comfort him.

Midnight sends his glare at Celestia which she stops halfway from him as Midnight hisses at her, wings flaring and fangs showing in a very threatening and protective stance as Midnight sticks closer to the stoned body of Andrew.

He doesn't keep up the stance very long as it softens and so does his glare. He puts his face against the hard cold surface of his father's leg and weeps, tears running down the stoned legs of Andrew. No one knows what to do, no one knows what to say. He really doesn't care at the moment, all he wants is to be left alone, he wants his father back. He's wants him to give him those caring hugs he always gave, he wants him to nuzzle him and tell him that everything is going to be alright, and most of all, he wants his father to tell him that he loves him very much and that he will always be there for him. Midnight then surprises everyone as he lets out a loud painful scream that's full of hurt, sadness, and a broken heart.

He falls to his knees gripping the leg of his father's tighter than every, wanting to feel the heat of his body to come back and not feel the cold stony surface of a leg.

Everyone just watches with guilt and regret wellying up inside them, with their gazes down to the ground, ears splayed back against their heads.

Everyone wants to do something to calm the child, but they don't know what, not even Celestia knows what to do. All she can do is watch Midnight weep and scream out with much sadness in his screams.

Night Wing can feel the emotions of Midnight that pains her to no end, and it pains her even more is that seeing Midnight screams of hurt, and the stone body of Andrew.

Midnight doesn't know what to do besides crying his eyes out, hoping that this is some nightmare that Princess Luna can save him from. If only it were that.

He rears back his head, and brings down onto the leg of Andrew. Upon impact the statue of Andrew disappears in poof of smoke. Just vanishing without a trace.

Midnight looks stunned. He's trying to process in his mind to what happened to his father's body.

He looks down at the carpet on floor with hard look, teeth clenched, as he grips the carpet. They must of took papa away from me! I will never for-........uh?

Foot steps intercept his thoughts. His ears swerve to the right to where the throne of Celestia. He looks up to his right, eyes widening as tears start to stream freely down his cheeks again. Everyone in the room let's out surprised gasps, stunned beyond measure, wondering how he beat the elements.

Midnight stands up, arms stretched out to his father walking ever so slowly to him with his trade mark warming smile that can easily melt any sadness away. A warming smile that can melt the hardest of ice in the world.

He takes a step foward. "P-P-Papa............is t-that really y-you?" He takes another step.

His father stops halfway from him, takes a knee and spreads his arms out wide. This gets Midnight to take more steps, then he goes into a full out sprint towards his father. "Papaaaaaaaa!" He screams out, rushing eagerly to his father. As he gets close he launches himself, using his wings to get extra leverage to reach him. He wraps his arms around his neck, nuzzling his head under his chin crying his eyes out as he sobs away on his chests.

First-person

Andrew

I hug my son tightly, encasing him in my arms against my chest. I sit down on the floor, cradling him in my arms as I groom the top of his head and cheek. The grooming seemed to have calmed him a bit, but not as much. He's sniffling now and still clinging to my shirt.

An idea pops into my head as I clear my throat for the perfect melody hum to him.

I hum a soft tone, trying to set the mood for everyone in the room. Midnight stops sniffling and looks up at me with teary eyes. I smile down at him and continue the humming. This melody came from my mother when I was just a little kid. She use to hum it to me everytime I cried or when I was going to bed. The soft humming melody of my mom was always so warm and calming to listen to.

Midnight shifts around my arms, yawning as he adjust himself to get comfortable. I run my fingers through his mane, adding more to the calming effect of the humming to get him to relax.

I end it off with a soft low humming, and look down at my son. He's smiling. Snuggled up against my chest with his hands still griping my shirt, hoping not to lose me.

I stand up and see everyone giving me mixed looks. I hold up at hand to stop the incoming questions as I see some of the girls ready to yell out questions. Especially Twilight and Celestia.

There's a long silence waving around the whole throne room, no one saying a thing. The one to speak up first is Celestia, which is no surprise to me.

"Andrew.'' she calls out to me.

I look towards her, ''Yes?''

"I'm going to ask you some questions, and you're going to answer them truthfully.'' She states.

''Why should I answer them?''

Celestia's eyes narrow, taking a step forward, and wings spread out as guards suddenly surround me from ground to top with their weapons pointed at me. I hug Midnight close to me as I activate my sharingan and rinnegan, and flexing out my magic on instinct. This gets the guards to back off, some of them looking uneasily at me.

This gets everyone to look uneasily about me and it seems to have been sensed by Luna as she appears into the throne room all armored head to toe with a katana in hand.

''Sister, I felt a very powerful surge of magic from my room that was coming from the throne room.'' She says as she looks around the room, seeing the guards surrounding me.

I see spot Celestia looking my way with a face that looks very shocked and a bit shakened from flexing my power out.

Luna also seems to be shocked, but what shocks her more is my eyes. The both princesses stand stunned at my display of raw power and the sudden different eye display.

One of the guards that's a pegasus seemed to have grown some to the first to get a hold of himself, as he zooms towards me with his spear pointed right at me and Midnight. Big mistake for him. I slowly turn my head towards him, widening my left eye that has the sharingan.

My sharingan starts to shift into something else and it seems Celestia is the one to spot it first. She reacts quick, but not as quickly as she hoped.

"Hold your ground! Don't go any closer t-...." she yells out to the guard, but she stops as a chill goes around the room.

"Mangekyou......Sharingan....."

The guard freezes as his spear stops right in front of me, his eyes wide with terror. He falls to the floor petrified. His body twitches as he lays on the floor.

With one of the comrades down, the rest of them start rushing my way.

"Halt! Guards! I order you to stop!" Luna orders the guards.

The order falls to deaf ears as the guards go on and rush anyways. I roll my neck as a few pops go off. I clutch on to Midnight as he seems to be sleeping through all this. My main priority right now is to keep Midnight safe, and try to keep as many of the guards away.

Sigh. What drag this is going to be when this is over.
