"Emergency. The Condemned Vanity was spotted in Coltsville. I engaged her but she got away. She was taken by one of Nightmare Moon's followers. I'll meet you in the royal gardens."
Naruto sat on the bench, kicking his right leg back and forth as he waited for the sound of hoof steps. Finally the familiar clip clops reached his ears as he turned around. "It’s becoming far too dangerous to hold off aggressively pursuing these criminals." The arrivals were none other than Celestia and Luna. To his surprise they sat on the bench, paying no mind that their robes would be getting dirty from the bench. Then again seeing Celestia in a black robe without a sun painted on it and Luna in a green robe without a moon on it was probably a mind blowing revelation to average ponies. If not for the serious nature of this meeting he probably would have laughed and joked with the princesses that they were disappointing their subjects by not wearing what was expected of them. "Vanity set her sights on Fluttershy. It’s become apparent it’s not safe for the Bearers to leave the confines of Ponyville without adequate protections."
"I feared the possibility of something like this occurring. Since the events of that day Luna and I began putting a plan in motions once I learned the events that occurred during my brief banishment.
"As you are aware during that battle Twilight tried to activate the elements herself. During that attempt Nightmare Moon saw what she was doing, stopped her, and smashed the Elements to pieces. When the elements reformed themselves they took on the current appearances that they share now, showing just how deep and powerful the connection those six share with the elements. Even when Luna and myself used the elements against a foe that threatened Equestria did they not react in such a way. I can only think of one reason why they would react in such a way and that can only be because the Elements bonded with them in a way Luna and I were incapable of doing so. Magic like any form of energy cannot be created nor destroyed. There is only one place where the magic could have gone when the elements were destroyed." The look of realization that flickered on Naruto's face immediately after Celestia's proclamation prompted her to continue. "While the necklaces that are in Canterlot Tower have a good deal of that power I am more than sure the rest lies within the six bearers. I was hoping after Luna was returned to us that the Elements would never be needed again, but it appears that I was wrong. There is still darkness out there and we need them now more than ever. The power the six of them now hold deep inside them needs to be nurtured and with the proper teachings they will become a force to reckon with."
Now Luna began to speak. "But right now is not that time. They are strong, but unskilled and lack the necessary experience to wield all their gifts efficiently. Hence why we have been searching for the proper teachers for them in hopes they will be one step closer to fully realize the depth of their elements. As such we will depart onto you information about the Elements that no tome contains."
The Honest can be trusted; the Loyal never turn, the Kind ever present, the Generous always willing, the Laughing always smiling, and the Magic continuously binding.
Once more Celestia began to speak. "We tell you this so you will not be worried about them while you are on assignment."
Well that was one massive burden off his shoulders.
Once more the sisters switched speaking roles. "We must bring the discussion back to the initial topic. This mare, the once you said felt of Nightmares? Describe her to me. While my memories are still hazy I can still remember most of my actions when I was still wrought by madness."
As Naruto began describing the mare the concern on Luna's face slowly became more apparent. By the time he finished with the fact she teleported away that was all the information Luna needed to know.
"Sister, Naruto, I fear this situation is far direr than originally thought. Midnight is a powerful and dangerous mare. She is not only a battlecaster, but well versed in many forms of magic as well as dark magic. She is as dangerous as she is cunning and Nightmare Moon saw her as a worthy right hand. She holds no love for those she considers beneath her. I have no doubts she will be collecting the remnants of the scattered forces to make an army. Her loyalty to me at that time was second to no pony."
"Then we'll put a message out to our most trusted operatives. At all costs this Midnight must be captured or…"Celestia paused; this was something she always found difficult. "…if she cannot be apprehended she is to be put down."
A cloaked figure rushed along the rooftops of the city of Canterlot. He made no noise as he arrived at his destination, the castle.
The guards did their patrol as normal, unaware of the incoming intruder. Darting from one dark corner to the next, the figure infiltrated the castle.
Darting through the halls, the figure remained unnoticed. It travel swift and silent through the shadows; no guard detected or felt anything. It was searching; this figure moved down the hallways with purposeful intent.
The mission was behind the double doors led to the room of Princess Celestia. Quietly, the figure sneaked its way into the chambers and spied its prey; the defenseless, sleeping Princess Celestia.
Reaching under its cloak, the figure pulled a small, curved black dagger. Gripping it tightly in his hand he charged at the bed. Again and again, the figure stabbed and slashed at Celestia, feathers and pieces of pillows went everywhere. The assassin illuminated its horn to see its killed prey. To the assassin's shock, Princess Celestia wasn't there, only several large pillows with deep gashes were in the bed.
The assassin let out a yelp as a golden crest flickered to life and he was blasted by a surge of magic that radiated from the crest, knocking him out.
When he came to he found himself in the room tied down by chains, magic suppressing chains.
Unaware there was a hidden crystal and he was being observed. The observing party was the Princesses, Shine Spark, General Esteem, and a few other high ranking members in the military along with a few guards and a psychologist to psychoanalyze the assassin once the interrogation was over.
If there was a possibility Midnight was gathering new blood they needed to make a profile so they could be on the lookout for potential traitors. Midnight was good on preying on the weaknesses of others and turning their dirty little secrets and tragedies against them. One of her preferred methods was stoking the fire of hatred and thirst of revenge deep within them.
"Care to explain why you tried to murder one of the Princesses?" Naruto asked as he sat on a stool. The interrogation room was an old structure, the bars iron, most of the exterior made of cobblestone with a wooden bench that acted as a bed.
The assassin said nothing, his expression, and his eyes were calm. Far too calm. His heart beat was too calm.
It was unnerving. It was inhuman.
"Tell me who you are and why you tried to kill Princess Celestia?" At this point Naruto was ready to simply break into his mind and forcefully take the information.
"Her. Majesty. Shall. Rise. Once. Again." The pony's monotone voice was void of all emotion. Suddenly the pony began to yell, full on wail as he began to glow with magic. His body began to glow to blinding proportions.
The intensity of the explosion shattered the walls of the cell. The explosion powerful enough to shatter the stone wall and send debris flying.
The assassin himself had been a bomb. It would only be later with what they could examine from his remains he had slowly been opened up and a series of complicated runes charged with magic had been placed inside his body. The type of thing that would have taken weeks to do and not something that could be done by an amateur.
But right now they could only deal with the immediate result of what happened. When the explosion ended there was only one heavily damaged body. The one that had parts of his body impaled by the iron bar.
"THE CELL JUST GOT DESTROYED."
"WHAT JUST HAPPENED?"
"SOMEPONY GET A DOCTOR HURRY!"
"NARUTO!" The fear laced well of the royal sisters far outpaced the yells of the others.
Adrenaline Rush eyes opened as he felt the rumbling of something. A blood curdling scream followed as blood splattered on the ground near the cell. He of course freaked and backed up against the wall.
"I can't believe we're doing all this for a stallion." Vanity of course was still in the midst of a fit. Midnight's assistance of his usefulness was the only reason why she was going alone with this. "And one as timid as a kitten at that."
"Do not let his behavior fool you. When he snaps he's a vicious killer. In fact, he's probably even stronger than you are."
"Oh?" Vanity replied coyly as her horn sparked. "I'd care to put that to a test sometime."
"I don't know who you two are, but you're wasting your time." He got up and tapped the empty space of his cell revealing a series of intricate golden crests. "I'm locked up tighter than a treasury. Some of her majesties best spellcasters saw to it that I was locked up real good." He stumbled back in surprise as a vivid red aura shot out from the shadows and shattered the enchantments. "I stand corrected."
"Your use and control of the amulet has improved. I would say in a few weeks you will be ready to pay that town a visit. What did you say its name was?"
"…Ponyville…" The speaker hissed as she walked further into the room. A grin of malice appeared on the azure mare's face as the amulet around her neck began to glow ominously. "I'll make them pay…all of them. The Farmer. The Prissy mare. The Pegasus and that stallion, but most importantly the one who humiliated me…Twilight Sparkle." The grayish violet eyes that held these malevolent emotions began to glow a vivid red.
A cruel chuckle escaped Midnight's lips. The distraction went off without a hitch. 'Now to find the one who does not speak.' She thought as she teleported them out of there to the edge of the capital. They were still far from ready to go against Equestria's army directly, there success was practically none-existent if the Princesses themselves got involved, but it was only a matter of time until the pieces fell together and with Rush's acquisition they were one step closer to reviving their dark goddess.

As if you guys weren't expecting me to pull another one of my usual stunts. Anyway for those who were bummed out at the end of this chapter here's an Omake to cheer you up.

"Huzzah!" Luna said, wrapping her arms around Naruto's midsection. "The snuggling has been doubled! Sister I can grow used to this plan of yours."
"Of course Luna. I never go into anything without some semblance of a plan."
"It has been ages since I have slept with somepony like this."
"I'm glad you two are enjoying yourself." Naruto remarked with a hint of petulance. "I wish I could be a bit more cheery, but I still can't feel the left side of my body." He said as his face was mere inches from Celestia's chest. Aah yes, her heavenly bosom which inspired so many sonets and many, many, freaking very many wet dreams was right in front of him.
Enough to where Luna had probably seen her sister naked in dreams more than most playmares of celebrities. It was kind of annoying because ninety percent of the time her sister was so annoyingly submissive and whorish instead of the cunning, loving, wise big sister she knew her as. Those dreams were almost as bad as the ones about her which were a disturbingly high number of them either have her turning part stallion or growing a certain stallion part and once again disturbingly enough a good number involved her sister or being a masochistic/sadist of sorts dressed as a dominatrix instead of being an actual dominatrix. The ponies of this era were so perverted. To be fair the perverts back then were almost just as bad, but the ones in this era seemed almost proud of their perversion instead of hiding it like a shameful secret it was.
Gently laying a wing over him the alicorn sighed, closing her eyes. "A problem we will rectify tomorrow." Celestia responded with a lady like yawn.
"Goodnight, Naruto, sister."
"Luna could you please stop copping a feel I'm trying to fall asleep and you're making it difficult." Naruto replied with a tone.
"…Nay, we are enjoying ourselves far too much exploring every inch of our new colttoy."
"Now Luna the proper term is Consort." Celestia corrected as she played with Naruto's mane.
"Did any of your previous consorts had to deal with four days of nonstop sex, some of it which I am convinced was illegal by the fact I'd probably still have that spinal injury if it wasn't for your healing magic?"
"It's only illegal if you can prove negligence." Celestia said as her hooves began traveling lower. "Well, Luna is right your backside is the finest one yet.."
Naruto simply groaned. He supposed being a sex slave to Princess Celestia and Luna was a far cry from one of the worst fates he could have met.
