Midnight's Genes

In a hallway, there stood a pony. To be more specific this hallway was located in the maternity ward and the pony was a lilac coloured unicorn with a black mane who was watching the foals with his full attention... After a while, the pony watched the nurse leave the room and then stealthy entered in and quickly grabbed the first foal closest to the door and then put it in his bag and departed from the hospital shortly afterwards.

After a short journey home, the pony locked his door and took the sleeping mare and put her into a crib and decided to write observations about this pony. Here is what he observed:

Name (Indicated by the tag): Midnight Madness

Sex: Female

Race: Degauss

Coat Colour: Black

Mane: White

Age: Two Weeks

The Pony Looked at the pony in disapproval of her wings and sex as he would have preferred a male unicorn but as the saying goes 'beggars can't be choosers.' The pony decides to open the thick diary he had brought recently and sees no text within it and then he decides to write his observations under the date.

You are probably asking yourself “why was he expecting text within a brand new diary?” and “why did he just take a child?” Both these questions can be answered with a bit of back story.

Night Spectre is the fifth child of the Spectre household and the Spectre family lived in Canterlot in a very expensive mansion. Not much was expected by Night, he had only achieved average scores on both his tests and magic levels and was overshadowed by his elder siblings who had achieved higher places within parliament and society. But Night was not stupid, he was intelligent in fact and was very perceptive, and when he heard his eldest sibling discussing with the family about enemy states trying to take out PrincessCelestiaa to try to steal the lands from her.  Night was struck with an idea on that day but it was an idea he hated. An idea which stuck with him for years afterwards eventually driving him to research into the subject and interestingly finding out that the griffins were on shaky ground with the Equestrians and only really needed a nudge to go into war but what Night took a real interest in was biology. More specifically he took an interest in how sapient creatures develop and what makes them become the creatures they are today discovering the double helix and the chromosomes within them but discovered there was no easy way to alter a creature's body structure when they had grown up. Night had decided to bide his time and research all possible solutions until Nightmare Moon's return which ended with the return of Princess Luna and the elements of harmony being revealed causing Night to give up his efforts due to too many powerful beings sitting on the throne.

Night led on to become a junior biologist researching pony anatomy and accelerating through the company gaining more powerful positions. Night had learned some illegal spells from the company including one which allowed him to absorb magic like photosynthesis within plants and ever wanting to increase his magic pool he decided to cast the spell out of view every morning at 8:00 just before work and continued to do this for about three months until one day, when he started the procedure, he heard a large boom just as the spell activated and felt a strange feeling forced down his horn causing his view exploding into a multitude of colours and him to collapse into pain. Night next experience was waking up in the hospital finding out that some sort of spirit of chaos had managed to escape his tomb and let out a flood of chaos into the world which sent him into a comatose state and when they checked what his last cast spell was they had noticed that it was illegal and notified the police of it. This is when Night noticed something was wrong as he tried to teleport away and found his magic was not obeying him forcing him to wait until the police arrived.

A large investigation was put into Night and the company and they found that the research pass provided to research chromosomes had been exploited into creating untrustworthy spells and they had been ripping off customers making them think they were going to achieve immortality. Another factor researched was that Night had completely lost all magic traces and somehow was still alive albeit without the magic of unicorns but no evidence could be found for this and was completely forgotten. Many employees were arrested for their crimes and were waiting for sentences but Night had managed to talk himself out of a punishment, as he had lost his magic due to the company and then provided vital evidence for every pony else's arrest.

There are many rules in Canterlot among the community, with most of them unspoken, but one of the main ones is that crimes can be committed with a general blind eye, unless it was an unspeakable crime, until you are convicted of your crimes and then you will be disowned by the community and struck off every record of ever living there which in Night's case even included his family which led Night to leave his hometown in shame and buy a house in the nearby town of Gonville.

I am guessing that you're starting to guess what will be occurring next. Night is not an idiot, I am just restating this for every pony to remember, he knew that the spell could be dangerous to perform but he did need power for his personal projects but he was unable to access his magic as well as apparently not having a drop of unicorn magic within him which as someone whom had being working and reading on ponies for a huge section of his life knew it physically could not be possible as magic forced the electrons, neutrons, and protons to condense into the atoms holding him together so he must have had a different force of magic holding him together and considering whose magic had exploded when he had cast his spell he could only assume his magic had been converted to chaos magic... Night decided to spend the next two years researching the magic he had managed to acquire to find out that chaos magic is not within the user's actual body instead drawing in magic from outside sources and chaos magic requires very little magic to cast the hardest of spells but the real issue is that using the magic reveals all information about that item which will flood the mind with information. Night had assumed that draconequus species must have had near omnipotent intelligence levels while ruling the land as their magic was touching large regions of land and for them to decipher all of that and be coherent is astounding while Night could barely deal with a 1 meter square as information as the information he collected was down to the atoms creating it which showed to Night how the magic worked as the creatures manipulated the items on atomic levels causing drastic changes to take place. Night had also researched time travel and found out that chaos magic broke the bounds of time travel magic but if you opened yourself up to the time stream then an infinite amount of information would flood into your brain so he decided that sending packets of information would be better than it would minimise your contact with the time stream.

Night knew that he had the tools to create a weapon and he was going to but he was unable to train the weapon himself and if he managed to take down four princesses, one spirit of chaos and the elements of harmony he needed an army to subdue every pony else so he decided to take a holiday to Griffonstone... “Some rich stuck pony wants us to go to war against Equestrian. Are you completely idiotic for coming here or did somebody hit you over the head?” say one of the griffon leaders.

“Why should we? Ponies have the superior armies in number and have magic supporting them as well as controlling our sun and moon” responds another. Night managed to get to the five leaders of the griffins and asked them to attack the country and their responses were as expected.

“I want you to invade Equestrian as I have found out how to take out the princesses and their weapons easily but I am going to have problems dealing with the public rebelling and such. And the sun and the moon can be given to the unicorns under your enslavement and if you want an example of my superior magics then.” responds Night and the room interior instantly has a gold plating with only a barely audible spark from his horn, Night had figured out that Discord snapped his talons while casting his magic as it meant that minimal information was absorbed as it is not a constant spell but an instantaneous one.

A griffin had managed to come out of the trance to ask "What is your plan then pony?"

Night grinned and began to describe that he would use a mix of time travel and gene modification to turn a foal into a weapon...
