All alone

Midnight sat on his throne on top the city of Canterlot and looked down. His subjects were busy cocooning many of the former residents. Midnight saw a large colored line over the horizon. He squinted under the glare of the morning sun. He saw the line constantly moving closer to the city inching its way ever so slowly.

He flew down to the watchtower taking a few moments to admire his and his fellow changeling's handiwork. He looked through the telescope only to see Blackheart marching along with what looked like an army towards the city. They still flew the banner of Old Canterlot indicating they probably still didn't know what had happened.

Midnight sent out a message through the hive mind to ready the entire hive for an attack. The soldiers met with him in front of the gates and marched to intercept them. Within minutes the two armies had met in the center of the plane. Midnight leading the changeling horde and Blackheart leading the army of ponies.

"Traitor" Blackheart said narrowing his eyes

"Blackheart it doesn't have to be like this" Midnight said

"Yes" Blackheart said drawing his scythe "it does"

"We can rule this nation together you'll love it" Midnight persuaded

"They wouldn't love us they would fear us!" Blackheart argued

"Please Blackheart" Midnight tryed

"Too late now we finish this" Blackheart said

"Very well we will fight to the death alone" Midnight said darwing his sword

"Works for me" Blackheart said drawing his scythe

"Changeling hide yourself if i should fail eliminate the ponies" Midnight thought

Midnight charged Blackheart and swung his sword and clashed with Blackheart's scthe a ear peircing clash ringing out into the cool mid-morning air. Midnight swung his sword but was countered by a bone breaking punch to the chest staggering him. Blackheart took this moment to pick Midnight of the ground and begin to swing him.

Blackheart let go and Midnight was launched back into the city. Crashing through the black painted windows of his trophey room.

"Get up soldier" Midnight heard Blackheart's voice echo

A kick sent Midnight crashing into the wall cracking his carapace. He felt something push against his chest with a crushing force and blood began to pour from his mouth. He was lifted from his own impression left on the wall by the force of the impact and felt it becoming harder and harder to breathe.

He tried desperately to brake free of Blackheart's grip but it was no use the sheer force in his rage was too much to overcome. Midnight began to slip away.

His vision became blurry and then clear seeing his home minutes before it was destroyed. He saw the castle and the world where he had trained.He saw him and Blackheart sparring once more. He saw the dragon attack and the anarchists. He saw Nightshade and Chrysalis. His life flashed before his eyes and he nearly faded into oblivion.

He felt no heard something from behind him but he was too far gone to register. He felt himself hit the floor and sweet air entered his lungs. He gasped for breathe sputtering and coughing up blood on the floor. He looked over and saw a large black blob standing across from a group of others yet Midnight couldn't understand them.

Midnight got to his hooves and slowly staggered towards Blackheart. He attempted to end Blackheart and the next thing he knew he was sent flying through the wall. He heard the slow taps of Blackheart's movement about to round the corner.

"No i don't want to go" Midnight thought lying there immobilized as Blackheart rounded the corner his blood red eyes met Midnight's and struck pure fear as Blackheart began approaching him.

Time began to slow as Midnight looked around for a way out he found only one logical one...the window.

"Well this is gonna hurt Midnight" Blackheart said as he charged

Midnight smashed the window and in a desperate attempted rolled off the side just as Blackheart smashed into the pillar. Midnight didn't scream as he fell he was too busy trying to get his wings to listen to him he had lost nearly all feeling. He looked up and saw Blackheart jumped from the window. He shut his eyes as he felt Blackheart come down on him with plenty of force smashing him into the ground.

Blackheart then procceeding to pick him up and throw him into the side of a building.

"Give up yet?" Blackheart asked

"You should....no better than...to ask stupid questions" Midnight responded coughing up blood in between words

"Oh really lets see you keep that smartass attitude with a dagger through your chest" Blackheart threatened

"You can't win" Midnight said smiling

"And why is that" Blackheart inquired

"Cause i cheat" Midnight responded and as if they had rehearsed this a large group of Midnight's changeling army appeared and attacked Blackheart,

He took no thought in beginning to mow them down aimlessly  his only target was Midnight. Blackheart began to notice something strange. Not only did not one of them land an attack but it seemed that if he killed one two rose in its place. Their horde was unimaginably large but even if they had infinite numbers it would take time to get to his position but they seemed to pop up instantly.

For a moment he stopped attacking and let them hit him. Nothing not a single attack was landed. He burst out of the circle and they attacked as if he was still there. Midnight had tricked him! He scaled one of the tall buildings to see the coward fleeing for his life as he had ordered the rest to retreat but Midnight had already cleared the mountain and there would be no way of catching him.

Blackheart ran to the edge of the city as far as he could go and gripped his dagger and hesitated.

"I'm sorry Midnight but for the good of Equestria you must die and this time i'll make sure your dead!" Blackheart said drawing his sword.

"Wait" He heard a voice call

He turned to see all six elements accompanied by the Princesses

"He's gone it over let it go" Twilight said

Blackheart looked back at them and looked up at Midnight he closed his eyes and made a decision,

Blackheart thought up the most hateful thing he could in the heat of the moment "Die Midnight and your race with you like you should have years ago!" He said as he threw the sword

"NO!" They shouted

Their words meant nothing. The sword was thrown. Now it was fates choice. Life or death.

Midnight felt on top of the world. He had cheated death. He felt free. He felt alive. Suddenly his thoughts were consumed by pain and he heard the sickly slicing of his own flesh. He felt himself falling. He felt himself fading. Death had come back in force and now Midnight had to face his wrath cold and alone. He felt Death steal his breathe as he hit the ground.

Midnight's vision begins to blacken and he sees the blue sky begin to fade. He sees the last bit of daylight shine and watched in horror as it began to drift away. Darkness began to completely grip his vision and a tear fell down his face.

"I don't wanna go" He said his vision turning completely black
