Dimensions

A royal chariot carried by pegesi landed on the ground in Ponyville. Out stepped three alicorns that were riding on it; Celestia, Luna and Cadence. Twilight was baffled by the unexpected visit that her jaw dropped and no words spoke out of her mouth when she went to talk to them. Celestia chuckled at her pupil.

"I know we came without telling you..." Celestia levitated the book that Twilight had sent her. "But we must discuss this."

"Why? It's in some sort of forgotten language." Twilight pointed out. "Discord couldn't read it, and we only sent it to you in hope that you could."

"That's just the thing." Luna looked side to side, before leaning in a little and lowering her voice. "We can't."

"Seriously?" Rainbow Dash smacked her own face. "I thought you could translate anything!"

"Not this." Cadence sighed. "The language is too diverse, and nothing that Equestria has ever seen."

"We wish to talk to it's maker." Celestia told them. "You told us that this Midnight character wrote this?"

"We think, yes." Rarity nodded. "It had her 'M' initial on it."

"I see." Luna tapped her chin. "Then we must see her at once."

"I don't know..." Dash squinted. "She lives in the Everfree. That's kinda dangerous for a princess."

"We'll have my guards to protect us if anything happens." Celestia smirked. "Do not worry about our safety."

Knocking on the door, Twilight patiently waited outside the shack that belonged to Midnight. When she didn't get an answer, she knocked again, almost immediately answered by a slow creak of the door unlocking. Opening it, Midnight peaked through a crack and saw the three princesses. She sighed, and opened the door wider for everyone to come in.

Almost immediately, Cadence, Luna and Celestia realised that the house was bigger on the inside. Despite it being a messy shack on the outside, it was surprisingly neat on the inside. Midnight didn't look happy to see the three princesses, so the two guards kept a close eye on her in case she made a move on them.

"Hm." Midnight grunted. "I hope you know that I hate guards."

Before anyone could react, Midnight's body started generating energy, her veins pulsing with blue electricity and her eyes slammed shut. The guards raced towards her, thinking she was going to attack the princesses, but before they reached her she opened her eyes and let out an enormous field of telekinetic energy that made everything go white.

Once vision was restored to everypony, they realised that the guards were gone. The three princesses, however, were remained unharmed. They looked at Midnight, who sat there with a blank stare, as if she was 100% done with this bullshit.

"I told you." Her emotion didn't shift. "I hate guards."

Celestia tried to speak, but was left speechless. She had felt the energy on her body but was not conflicted by it in any way. She felt how strong Midnight really was, enough to push back two guards and no one else.

"Where are they!?" Princess Luna shouted.

"Back in Ponyville." Midnight informed her. "Do I need to repeat myself? I. Hate. Guards."

Dash tilted her head. "We get that."

"Then why do I have to repeat myself?" Midnight's eyes darted at Dash, leaving the pegesus trembling at her intimidating stare.

Celestia cleared her throat. "So, you are Midnight?"

Midnight jerked her head in a robotic-like fashion. "Do you see anyone else called Midnight around?"

"N-No." Celestia frowned. "But please, do not talk to me like that."

"Why?" Midnight's voice went a tiny bit demonic. "Because you're a princess and your mane runs on batteries?"

Celestia got a bit annoyed. She inhaled and exhaled. "We need to speak to you."

"I know you do." Midnight turned towards her bookshelf. "About my book, right?"

"Um... Yes." Cadence stepped forward. "We want you to translate it."

"You want me to?" Midnight repeated. "Excuse me, but who do you think you are?"

"We are the rulers of-" Celestia informed her.

"Rulers of bullshit." Midnight interrupted. "And who do you think made this place? Show me a bit of respect next time you ask." Midnight levitated the book out of Twilight's saddle bag that she put on before heading into the forest. Celestia was surprised that she could actually use telekinesis. "I will translate it. But only one page." Midnight looked up and smirked at them.

"That's hardly fair." Discord pointed out.

"Maybe." Midnight's eyes darted back towards the book. "But this does belong to me, doesn't it?"

"All right, then..." Luna sighed. "But may I ask who's initials are carved into the book?"

"Mine. And my friend's."

"Oh... Could you tell us what they stand for?" Luna asked.

"Midnight Dewdrop." She told her. "That is my full name. The other name I am not aloud to say."

"I see." Celestia looked at her mane, questioning if it actually runs on batteries.

Midnight gave the book to Twilight. "Give me a page to translate."

"Which one is something mostly to do with Equestria?" Twilight grinned, feeling proud of herself for asking a smart question.

The white mare flicked through the pages, finding one page that had no pictures in it. The blue aura settled the book against Twilight's hoof and then vanished. "This page."

"Translate this one, please." Twilight desperately asked her.

"As you wish." Midnight began running memories through her brain about every translation she has ever made, skipping from dimension to dimension to find out what she had written this in. She finally came to a conclusion.

"Error Pinkie Pie." Midnight told them.

"Hey! That's my name!" Pinkie said in joy. "Do I have a sister I didn't know about?"

"No. It's a creature that I could not find." Midnight informed her. "Errors are creatures that are born every time I make a new pony or creature. They are monsters in the anti-void, and their main purpose is to destroy timelines. This is actually the thing I am looking for. Sometimes I manage to kill these creatures, but some got lucky and got away. Error Pinkie Pie managed to find a way to crack into dimensions. That's why my eyes went funky earlier."

"That doesn't sound good." Luna stepped back.

"It isn't good." Midnight sighed. "I have to kill her."

"Can't she be reasoned with?" Fluttershy suggested quietly.

"No." Midnight gritted her teeth. "They do not care for mercy, nor kindness. They hate friendship altogether. Error Pinkie will do anything to destroy this dimension."

Everything was white, except the black and pink mare standing in the middle of it all. Her mane was poofy, and she had tears stuck on her face. She had errors as her cutiemark and replacing one of her eyes. Her coat was black and a tiny bit of blue. Her eyes were a deep red. This was Error Pinkie.

Standing in the anti-void, she chuckled as she looked upwards at her trophy collection. She had kidnapped Bon Bon and Colgate. She thought that they had a nice personality, so she decided to keep them. They were tied to puppet strings that tied them in mid-air. The anti-void had no ceiling nor walls, so it was unclear what the strings were attached to.

Grinning, she showed off her yellow teeth that had rotten bits of candy stuck in it.

"This is going to be so much fun!"
