IX - Told You

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

The white mare was still rustling through Twilight's books. As everyone was talking to each other, waiting for her, Midnight turned her head towards Spike, who was standing right next to the door. She concentrated on the baby dragon, and her telekinesis aura surrounded him. She lifted him up, and quickly moved him out of the way just as the door slammed open with a guard rushing through it. When she put him down, he mouthed his gratitude to her.

Midnight turned back towards the bookshelf and concentrated more telekinetic energy on the books, lifting a variety of them up in the air, checking every book like a timelord from Doctor Who. Whilst doing this she eavesdropped on the conversation the guard was having with the princesses.

"We have four ponies outside claiming that a kidnapper is in the building." The guard told them.

"A kidnapper?" Twilight slowly turned her head to Midnight, who was glaring at the guard. "N-No, it's just us lot."

"They're sure that there is a kidnapper in here." The guard explained. "They saw the pony come in with you."

Midnight turned her whole body towards them, smirking. Celestia met her gaze and then reassured the guard. "Don't worry, she's not a kidnapper."

"They said that their friends went missing as soon as that pony came into town." He informed them.

"How many?" Cadence asked.

"Two, ma'am." The guard replied. "Two have gone missing."

"Then we shall act immediately." Luna turned to Midnight. "What shall we do about this?"

"Well, I told you." Midnight shared a small grin. "Pinkie likes to take souvenirs."

The pegesi guard looked at the pink pony standing behind the three princesses. He frowned, and looked as if he was ready to attack the earth pony, before Celestia put her hoof in front of him and shook her head.

"She does not mean that Pinkie." Celestia told him, hoping he would understand. She shot her head towards Midnight with a stern expression, in which she replied with a roll of her eyes.

"Bon Bon and Colgate, correct?" Midnight asked the guard.

"Y-Yes."

"Error Pinkie likes unicorns and earth ponies. Like I said;" Midnight exchanged glances with the princesses. "Told you."

Midnight was being very smug with everyone. When she turned back towards the bookshelf, Celestia leaned forward and whispered something in the guard's ear, who replied with a nod and trotted out. He seemed more calm about the situation now. Discord switched his attention back on to Midnight, who had pulled out a book and flicking through the pages vastly.

"So?" He asked her. "What are we going to do? Sit around eating books?"

"You're a vile creature." Midnight sighed, carefully putting a book back in its place. "Eating books? Seriously, what is wrong with you? Books provide information, resources, facts.... They are not a piece of gum you can chew up and spit out."

"You don't have to tell me twice." Twilight snickered, but hiding her smile. She wanted to remain serious, but still wanted to share her passion for books. "But what do we do?"

"You lot? You guys need to wait." Midnight glared over her shoulder, sharing an intimidating stare with Luna. "Wait for my signal; then go to the middle of Ponyville." She turned her body around, but kept her eyes on Luna. "That is where it will take place."

"Where what will take place?" Luna insisted she'd answer.

"I cannot say now." Midnight looked over to the books. "There is not a lot of time for me to explain; I must prepare myself. Meanwhile, you all need to preserve your energy. Do not use your magic, stretch your wings and prepare for a battle."

"A battle? In the middle of Ponyville?" Fluttershy repeated.

"Why would the battle take place here?" Dash asked. "Shouldn't a battle take place somewhere where there are not four princesses around?"

"Just trust me." Midnight looked over to Starlight and Spike. "Error Pinkie will attack there. I'm sure this time."

"This time?" Starlight gasped.

"I have miscalculated things like this before." Midnight told them. "But, this time, I'm sure."

"Why should we believe you?" Celestia puffed up her chest.

"Would you rather have your land plummeting into the abyss with no trace of your life ever existing, sun butt?" Midnight kept her dead expression, but for some reason it looked more scarier.

"N-No..."

"Then trust me." Midnight reassured her. "I know what I am doing. I will get your pony friends back, and I will kill Error Pinkie."

"It's weird when you talk about her." Pinkie Pie giggled. "It sounds like you want to kill me, but who in Equestria could survive if I was dead? No one! Ha ha ha!"

Midnight chuckled. "You should probably sort out those four ponies outside then." Midnight put her cloak and saddle bag back on. "I didn't see any more of my books. Thank you for letting me look, though."

"Thank you for reassuring us and warning us about this." Cadence weakly smiled.

"No problem. Now, I must go home and prepare. Errors are quite hard to kill if they have had time to gain more power."

And, with that, Midnight's body glowed with blue telekinetic energy, and, with a flash, she disappeared from the spot she was standing in. Turns out that telekinetic ponies can teleport. You know, why not? They all looked at each other, and told each other through facial expressions that they should check on the worried ponies. They left the room to find out what they were fussing about.


"Finally, I'm growing in strength. She doesn't stand a chance. I'll get her for what she did to my brothers and sisters."

The anti-void cried in agony as the glitched creature started glowing a faint white colour. Her body and mane grew a tainted grey colour, and then, there was no sound heard. A large explosion erupted from the middle of Error Pinkie, turning the void to a pitch black room. All that glowed was Pinkie's red eyes and blue tears. She giggled.

"I'm coming for you, Midnight."
