All alone

"Can anypony tell me why we stand here today" Midnight said " we stand here in defense of Equestria our home we shall win this battle or die fighting are you with me!"

"Yeah!" the army of guards shouted

"Alright Charlie and Beta to archery positions, Kilo and Omega to the gates, Foxtrot and Echo you attack upfront with me move out!" Midnight shouted as the guards took their positions.

Midnight strapped on his armor and led the guards to the battlefield. He lead at the front and met the other side at the center of the battlefield. He was met by a tall griffin in a full suit of plate armor with a golden crown adorning his head.

"Ah so Celestia send her servant to fight this battle for her" He said with a snear

"Shut up and die" Midnight said sending him skidding across the ground with a smack of a hoof "To arms" he shouted and with that the battle began

Midnight charged and unsheathed his sword and began to cut down griffins faster than he could count them. A single griffin knocked his sideways out of the clashing swords. He stared for a moment and saw something that horrified him...war. He saw the shining blades and red blood pouring that suddenly flashed green.

The world around him blackened and he saw his home the hive. A memory so far away it seemed merely like a dream...but this time more like a nightmare. The ponies turned to changeling and the griffins turned to ponies in golden armor. The ponies began to drive back the changeling and slaughter them.

He felt something surge within him call it anger or grief it awakened something

"Enough!" He shouted the force of his voice breaking apart both sides "Why do you hide behind your army face me!"

"As you wish" the griffin said landing in front of him

Midnight's army advanced "NO!" He shouted a wild fire of rage burning in his eyes "This is my fight"

The griffin lunged at his and swung his sword while Midnight dodged with the skill of a master.Midnight turned and kicked his back legs into the griffins chest effectively sending him falling backwards accidentally leaving his sword in the ground. As he reached for it Midnight put the tip of his sword up to the griffins throat and shook his head.

"Kill them! KILL THEM ALL" the griffin ordered

"You have no honor do you?" Midnight asked

"Honor is another word for weakness" he said

"When you get to Tartus tell my mother i said hello" Midnight said slitting the griffins throat

The world around him became silent as ponies and griffins alike stared at the sight in front of them.

"This war is over" Midnight said all previous cockiness and sarcasm leaving his voice replaced by a pure bitter hatred that chilled the bones of all around him

"Who do you think you are" one griffin said stepping up

Midnight threw his sword with great strength and without even a moment to realize what had happened the griffin found a sword buried in his chest bursting in a fountain of blood out the back. The sword slowly began to vibrate and dislodged itself from the griffins chest and flew backwards into Midnight's hoof

"Run away" Midnight said to the griffin army who stood staring wide eyed in fear "and NEVER come back"

The last he saw of their armies was their distraught expressions as they disappeared over the horizon                                 __________________________________________________________________________________________

The triumphant blared in celebration. Midnight stood tall among the group of squad leaders that had led the soldiers during the battle all were a bit full of themselves expect Midnight who stood quietly lost in his thoughts. As Celestia began the speech Midnight tuned out completely for he cared little.

Midnight's mind was focused on the moment he lost control the moment the world around him changed...something inside him changed. Midnight came back to reality as he heard the speech winding down and the squad leader in front of him claim his medal and walk off the stage. Midnight did the same but instead of standing on the side he exited the throne room much to the suprise of the crowd Midnight could hear small murmurs through his heightened hearing.

"Midnight... midnight..." a voice called

"WHO GOES THERE!" Midnight voice boomed through the void hallways unsheathing his sword

"keep walking down then turn" the voice whispered to him

"who are you! Show yourself!" Midnight shouted

Midnight felt something brush past his back. He swung his sword backwards only for the weapon too be stopped dead and a loud cling rang out in the dark. A pair of green eyes shone through the darkness and Midnight sheathed his blade.

"Don't do that Nightshade" Midnight said

"Move now" Nightshade said

"Whats going on" Midnight asked

" I said move!" Nightshade responded

"Not until you tell me where we're going" Midnight said

"Can't you hear her?" Nightshade asked

"Who we're the only two here" Midnight said

"Your losing your connection quickly Midnight" Nightshade said grabbing Midnight by the neck and dragging him.

They went through many turn and through many door until Nightshade finally stopped at a door and released Midnight from her grip.

"Prepare yourself" Nightshade said knocking down the door with a swift jab.

Midnight's jaw dropped and his eyes widend in unison

"Its good to see you alive little one after so long" the creature inside said

Midnight bent to his knee's "My Queen"

"He's losing his connection mother" Nightshade said

"Do not worry" the creature said "Come closer Midnight"

From behind the door a flash of green could be seen and few words could be heard

"She lied to me" Midnight said tears falling down his face "I can't believe...she promised" Midnight said beginning to breakdown

"She lied to us both" Nightshade said

"I promise even if its the last thing i do I'll burn this forsaken castle and bury her alive under the ashes!" Midnight   said his eyes turning red and burning with rage

"Are there others my queen" Nightshade asked

"Yes many they will be here by tomorrow" Chrysalis answered

"Tell them that this time we take Canterlot" Midnight said stepping out the room with Nightshade

"What about the Element bearers" Chrysalis asked

"Just make sure to trap them and i will break them" Midnight said darkly "and mother"

"Hmm?"

"If i don't make it kill Celestia" Midnight answered as the door shut behind him
