Dimensions

Another day passed, another day they could not do anything about what was going to happen. With the end of the world right around the corner, Twilight was busy preserving her magic and keeping Ponyville calm about the current earthquakes. If only she could tell them what was actually happening, but she couldn't. Midnight told her not to, and it would just spread more panic.

Soon, Midnight called for the alicorn, and told her to bring only herself. Twilight knew that something shady was going to happen, so she ignored her orders and told her friends to come along. Luckily, Midnight knew that she was going to do that... So she prepared the same thing she did to the royal guards when the princesses brought them along.

Arriving at her shack once more, Midnight opened the door before Twilight could knock. She and her friends stepped into the shack, and the first thing they saw was her disappointed face.

"I told you to only bring yourself." Midnight angrily spat. "You have forced me to do this."

Midnight crouched down, and started building up energy. Her body glowed a faint blue and telekinesis built up in her. Twilight reacted quickly, firing up her horn and making a sheet of protection over her and her friends. Midnight squished her eyes shut, saving her energy and then finally releasing it, causing the whole room to appear white.

Once Twilight's vision regained itself, she soon noticed that her friends were gone from the shield. She looked confused, and powered down her horn, taking away the shield and then quickly jerked her head towards Midnight and opening her wings to make herself look more intimidating.

"What did you do!?" Twilight yelled. "Why didn't my shield work!?"

"I told you to come alone, and you didn't listen." Midnight felt more calmer now. "Telekinesis can easily overpower magic, no matter how strong of a shield you have. But since you tried to counter my energy, your friends might of had a more painful trip back home then the royal guards did."

"What!?" Twilight gasped.

"Don't blame me, it was your fault." Midnight turned away towards her book.

Twilight felt angry, sick with rage. She quickly lit up her horn with as much magic she could handle and fired a beam at Midnight. The white mare teleported away just in time, and appeared next to Twilight. She put her hoof on the alicorn's shoulder and attempted to calm her down.

"Enough!" Twilight screeched, powering up her horn once more, and making a shield around herself, forcing Midnight backwards. She then made the whole room turn a faint purple colour, and kept firing beams at wherever Midnight went. She broke the table, destroyed the bookshelf, made multiple holes in the walls and blasted down a door, but she wasn't able to hit the white mare.

Finally, Midnight got close to Twilight, and touched her horn, sucking the magic out of her. Instead of transferring the power to herself, Midnight pulled out a jar and put it all in there. With her alicorn magic sucked out of her, the only thing she was able to do was fly, and even then she felt too weak.

"Please tell me what the hell you were thinking." Midnight told her calmly, lighting up every broken thing with blue and fixed everything, then set the jar of Twilight's magic on the fixed table.

"I..." Twilight laid down, weakly. "You're just sitting around... Telling us we shouldn't care about the end of the world... Why won't you do anything about it..?"

Midnight crouched down to Twilight, lifting up her chin to meet her gaze, then smiled softly. "I'm not doing nothing, Twilight... I'm doing my job. I'm tracking down the Error. I'm trying to fix the natural disasters. But, if you come here, bringing you friends, trying to attack me... I won't have enough power to beat her. You just need to trust me."

Twilight nodded. "Can I have my powers back, please?"

"Promise me you will not attack me." Midnight stood up.

"I promise." Twilight responded.

Midnight switched her body towards the table, lifting up the jar of magic with her telekinesis. She lifted it near Twilight's horn, then opened it. The lavender aura swirled around Twilight's horn in a mist-like fashion, before absorbing itself into her horn. Twilight's colour regained, and she was able to stand up again.

"What did you call me for?" Twilight asked, stumbling around a little bit.

"I have found something that may be of use to you." Midnight told her, levitating a large box next to her. She opened it, revealing a sword.

"A... Sword..?" Twilight said, confused.

"It's not just a sword, dumbass." Midnight rolled her eyes. "It might seem and work in a similar way to a sword, but if you stab an Error with this, they become paralysed."

"So... It won't kill them?" Twilight was disappointed.

"No, but it can paralyse them." Midnight slammed the lid shut. "Use this on it, and it can give me time to kill her once and for all."

"Why are you giving me this..?" Twilight asked.

"I can only trust you to do this for me." Midnight informed her, levitating the box in Twilight's face. "Please, protect it, and use it in battle."

"Of course, anything." Twilight took the box off of her, and levitated it to her side. "S-Sorry again for attacking you."

"I get it all the time, really." Midnight told her. "No one likes or prefers to trust me. It's as simple as. But I guess not everyone likes some wacko that claims to be a God, then is proven to be right in the future."

"Y-Yeah, guess not."

Twilight took off, exiting the shack and the Everfree. She hid the box from anyone who might be concerned what was in it, and managed to sneak past her friends. She made it to her home, and put the box underneath her bed, a place where possibly no-one would find it without feeling wrong about being in her room in the first place.
