Midnight's Journey

Turns out that when you kill somepony with a hidden blade it takes you into a white walled room where said killed pony is able to talk to you. This room is completely white, has a lot of small, seemingly untouchable, white threads everywhere.

"Well this is awkward." Luna stated as she saw that she was still alive, in said room.

"Yes, I agree. Did not know this would happen... wonder how we get out of here..." I absently looked around the room, which was slowly becoming engulfed in a green, purple, and blue colors.

"Maybe we wait?" Luna suggested as she closed her eyes for good... again.

"Maybe..." I was more busy watching the now rapidly gaining colors as my senses sensed the world I had recently left, just moments after killing Luna. I still stood over her body with the yellow walls that lead away from the cave gone. My soldiers were in a large circle around something, or somepony. I walked over to the edge of the crowd and demanded to be let through. What I saw came as something of a shock. Rainbow Dash and Applejack were growling at the circle of soldiers as Fluttershy hid in between them. Closer to the edge were the other three of the main six, all dead but only Twilight seemed to have bled at all seeing as there was only enough blood for a single pony to have bled out. Moving on the casualties to my own forces had been carried off to somewhere else, I later found out 8 of them had died and 4 more were injured.

"What happened?!" I said loud enough to be heard by nearly the whole army.

"Twilight, Pinkie, and Rarity thought it would be a good idea to attack your soldiers, or whatever they are." Rainbow Dash said before she turned around to try and soothe Fluttershy, apparently to no avail. Applejack nodded after RD said that so I assumed it was true, she didn't seem to be lying anyways.

Also sorry about this but Time Turner said something that I can't seem to recall... stupid memory, almost as bad as Lightning's. Although it occurred to me that the walls that hid the remnants of the lunar guards was still up so there was no way he could have gotten through unless he teleported but he was an earth pony so it just leads me to wonder how exactly he did that.

After that had been settled and the walls became motes of yellow light that were easily pass through-able I told every pony to get to Canterlot, which was on the verge of gone. Luckily the main housing districts and castle were intact, likely because Luna had had the intent to take over the city instead of destroy it. I walked over to Lightning, who stood calmly by his glowing crystal. "Hello, Lightning."

"How are you Midnight? Also who's gonna rule Equestria now?" Lightning said as if the thing he had just asked didn't decide the fate of practically the entire world, seeing as Equestria covered most every part of said world.

"I was going to appoint the main six ponies, from the show, to do just that but half of them are dead and I doubt two ponies can rule Equestria by themselves." I answered plainly.

"Thought you said only half were dead." He sounded as if his counting was off

"Yes but one of the alive ones can't take public attention for too long without running off or hiding, not exactly the best image if I say so myself." I explained, looking off towards Canterlot.

"Aaahh... that makes sense." He sounded a lot more relieved now. "So who will rule, you I presume?"

"Well you'd be wrong in that presumption." My attention had snapped back to him.

"Then who is gonna rule?"

"Not a clue, maybe i'll have Rainbow and AJ rule while I advise them... sound like a plan?"

"If your asking if it sounds like a good plan then no, not really. I can see how having Twilight, possible Rainbow, AJ, and maybe Rarity ruling would work but not just Rainbow and AJ."

I paused for a good minute or two then said "Did you know RD has rainbow-colored blood?"

He was put off by my rather random sentence and waited a few moments before shaking himself and talking "No, I didn't but I don't see how that applies to what we were talking about just now."

"Oh right I seem to have forgotten to stay on topic... Who do you think would be best for running Equestria?"

"Not a clue, maybe we could ask the other ponies? If all else fails it'll be you ruling after all, you know that, right?" Did I mention the accent he speaks in? It's sort of a Canterlot accent mixed with maybe a Stalliongrad or Trottingham accent. Kinda hard to describe but I hope you get the gist of what I am saying.

"Of course I do, Lightning."

"So shall we be off to the capital city?" He inquired his crystal and in response to whatever voice he hears when he looks at the thing me, him, and the entire army that accompanied me were all teleported to the inside of Canterlot, specifically right in front of the Castle. Have you ever seen the Canterlot castle without its guards present? If so then you know what we saw, if not then it really just looks like the structure without the golden gleam that apparently comes from the guard's armor. Have I mentioned the sick feeling yet? I think everypony felt it. A terrible sick feeling erupted from my, and possible everypony's, stomach and I felt incredibly weak. The result of both of those hitting, and taking full effect in just a second, a few seconds after teleporting made me collapse, along with everypony besides Lightning. After waking what seemed to be just a few seconds to me, and was really almost 9 hours in the real time, I blinked open my eyes to see Lightning and Rainbow Dash looking at me with concern.

"Oh good, your awake, I was starting to think you weren't going to wake up. Thought the same about RD here." He thought it would be a good idea to pat Rainbow Dash when he mentioned her, and was promptly knocked over by a rather angry looking cyan mare.

I smiled, barely holding back a laugh "having fun Rainbow?" I started laughing, a lot.

"What are you laughing at, Miss Nosebleed?" she was still angry and it was really not the best course of action to keep laughing with renewed vigor after she said that.

After I had finally stopped, which took about 10 seconds at the most, I responded "You and Lightning."

Said stallion got up and walked back over, looking calm as ever. "You didn't have to send me into the wall you know."

I tried standing at that point but it had barely been more than 30-50 seconds from waking up at that point and I fell over again almost as soon as I stood up. Rainbow had calmed down and was smiling a little while Lightning was on the verge of laughing at what had just happened. A minute later I tried, and succeeded, in standing up. ‘next step is walking’ I thought to myself. Walking turned out to be twice as easy as standing as I got it the first time. “What exactly just happened after we teleported here?” I asked Lightning.

He shrugged and said “Not too sure but I think that when teleporting large amounts of ponies with this it makes them sick. Obviously, if this is true, I exceeded the mass limit in safe teleportation, resulting in your sickness.” Some of the other ponies were awake now and had gathered around me and Lightning.

“You don’t say.” I said sarcastically at the last line he had said. Sounding much less sarcastic I turned my head to Dash “Miss Dash do you think you would be eligible to lead Equestria?”

She gasped and was about to respond excitedly when she paused. “Yes, of course!” she exclaimed after a minute.

“Ok you certainly have the enthusiasm… where’d Time go?” I asked as I realized he was not in the crowd of ponies that were either standing up or still laying in their sickness-induced sleeps.

Rainbow Dash looked confused when I didn’t respond to her directly, instead addressing the air. In the spot I was looking at a pair of dark purple eyes stared back.

“Who?” One of the guards to my right asked.

“Time Turner, brown stallion, darker brown eyes. Thought he had something important to say… ah well. I think this will work better if we are inside of the castle.” I addressed the soldier with the first sentence then shifted my attention to Lightning and Dash. I looked back at the soldier and the pony next to her. “You two follow me, Dash, and Lightning.” I motioned the mentioned ponies to follow me and went into the castle, having the other guards block the entrances with the orders to turn back anypony attempting to gain entry to said castle.

We found a few rooms that would have served well enough but I felt as if there was a special room we should talk. After another 5 minutes of wandering we happened upon a room that was filled with papers, quills, and bottles of ink also included was a year-old layer of dust. I smiled and, looking around, said “We shall talk in this room, I like it.”

“Isn’t this Luna’s study?” Rainbow asked

“How would you know something like that?” I responded.

“I was judging by how much dust there is in here, it seems as if this room hasn’t been visited in a year.”

“Oh yeah, that would be a good clue…”

“And the lack of a bed means it’s not her bedroom, right?” she finished

“Yeah… very observant Rainbow.” I complimented her. The entirety of the political discussion had been forgotten by the time I walked out the door, excluding the results. Said results were that Rainbow would indeed run Equestria with help from AJ and several ‘advisors’ me and Lightning had picked out for her.

<<>><<<

Midnight: So you finally got my 3rd visit down, what happened yesterday?

Me: Got hit by a serious case of the epic laziness, or, as some call it, effciency.

Midnight: *facehoof* really? you just got lazy?

Me: *big mac impression* EEyup

Midnight: excuse me but I am going to go figure out that x-box of yours some more... wait is the computer typing itself?

Me: Yeah I set it to record our voices, I don't use it normally so I can fix any sentence mistakes you make but still.
