A/N: Shoutout to Zaibatsu for giving me the idea for stalkers. I elaborated on the idea a bit. Thanks bro.

Both Midnight and Twilight arrived at the castle with haste, not wanting to waste any time in telling Celestia what they had found. Midnight had advised Twilight of how to act and not to stare at any other the guards should any of them be the assassin. Once they had found Celestia, Midnight began.

"Tia, we need to have a chat, it is of the utmost importance." Midnight spoke out in a stern tone causing Celestia to cock a brow at him. She gave a nod as they left the throne room heading down a long hall, two guards following them as they went.
"Where is my boy at? I haven't seen him in a few days." Midnight gave a fake smile to Celestia that she quickly noticed.

"He is in my chambers with a maid tending to him. We can go there if you would like to chat and see him at the same time." She smiled back giving a hidden wink.

"Wonderful." Midnight chuckled as they trotted along. Twilight just behind them as was the two guards.

Upon entering her chambers the guards took their stances just outside the room to keep watch. The maid was relieved of duty from tending to the foal and left the room. As soon as the door closed Celestia began to talk but was quickly cut off as Midnight raised a hoof to silence her. She watched as his horn ignited with magic as many different spells were cast around the room. Once he finished he gathered up Starlight and cast several spells onto him as well causing Celestia to become slightly alarmed.

"Midnight? What are you doing?" She asked coming up to him and Star, she casting her own spell to detect what kind of spells had just been cast on Star and the room.

Midnight looked to her with urgency in his eyes. "We have an assassin in the castle, he is one of the elite guard and was hired by the president of the Manehatten Gazette to kill you and Star under certain circumstances." He spoke while still casting spells onto Star and then he began casting them onto Celestia.

"Why are you casting so many different kinds of shield spells? Do you not think I am capable to protecting myself or our foal?" She snorted in slight annoyance before Midnight moved forward giving her a loving kiss.

"I know you are capable hun, I just want to make sure that nothing that could harm you should get through." He chuckled giving her a wink as he cast one final spell onto her and Starlight's mouth.

"What was that spell?" Tia asked as she felt her lips tingle slightly.

"Anti poison and magic spell in case something you eat has either in it. The rest of the spells are roughly the same type of shield spells for your body but at tapered toward weapons and magic even my own magical destructive spells will not work on you now." He smirked as he began casting the same spells onto Twilight.

"Princess, this is very urgent. The president of the Manehatten Gazette is planning on blackmailing you into giving him and his friends possible power over Equestria. We have documented proof of everything here." Twilight nodded to Midnight as he pulled out a computer from his stash portal, quickly opening it and turning it on.

After a few minutes of going through all of the information and several videos, Celestia was dumbstruck on the insane amount of information that was leaked to the press.

"Seems as if I will have to tighten security and find this assassin." She snorted in anger.

"No, don't let up that you know Tia, it could only endanger others and yourself if you let on that you know about this. Just continue to act normal and go about your normal routine, but keep Star with you at all times. If anything happens to him I wont think twice about killing another pony." Midnight stated with ice behind each words.

"I shall keep him with me at all times. But what are you going to do now? If you do not want me to have him arrested, what would you do instead?" Celestia asked giving a hint of fear.

"Oh I have ways of doing things. I am far more skilled in this area than I let on my dear." He chuckled. "Now, as for you." He looked at Twilight. "You are to stay by the princess until further notice. If at any time something catches your eye, use the telepathic link to let me know. I'm going back to the city to do a little reporting of my own." He grinned as he left the room nodding to the guards on his way out of the castle.

Once Midnight had arrived back in Manehatten, he found a spot on a rooftop and began his task of doing quite a few different things. One such thing was to create some false pictures of the president of the company as well as his friends through the use of magic of course. Creating them by making a clone of himself and transforming it into the pony of choice wasn't that hard. Getting it to do difficult tasks would be the problem.

After taking many pictures and video of the parties in question he quickly made several duplicates and placed them within his stash portal. He made a few files and folders placing tangible pictures into them so that the offending party could take a look at them.

"Alright, now comes the hard part." He spoke to himself as he morphed into the form of an earth pony and made his way toward the gazette.

As he entered the building he looked around seeing how similar it was to buildings in his home world. A nostalgic piece of home right here in front of him.

"Sir?" A mare spoke from the receptionists desk for the third time.

"Huh? Oh sorry about that, I'm just not used to the city, and this building is huge." He chuckled as he trotted up to the desk. "I'm here to see the president of the company." He gave a smile only to get a cocked eyebrow in return.

"Do you have an appointment sir?" She asked as she looked over the books.

"No, but I was sent on behalf of Midnight Flame. I'll take a seat while you let him know." He smiled seeing her slightly shocked expression.

After a few minutes had passed a couple large unicorn stallions arrived in the lobby standing in front of Midnight.
"Sir?" One of them began. "Your presence is requested upstairs."

"About time, I figured he'd send a couple guards down for me." He spoke as he stood up following one guard while the other stayed a few paces behind him. They took the elevator to the top floor, exiting it quickly.

"Sir, we will need to check your saddlebag for weapons or other items." One of the guards said as he stopped Midnight.

After a quick search and scan from the unicorns magic, Midnight was allowed into the room closely monitored by the two unicorn guards. He took a seat around twenty feet from the desk of a large pale grey unicorn with a dusty blue mane that sat behind the desk. This was indeed the pony he had taken the information from earlier the previous two days.

"So I hear that Midnight Flame sent you to me my boy. This is not very pleasing to hear at all. What would the Alicorn want you to discuss with me?" He asked as he placed his forehooves together and resting his chin on them while looking across his desk at Midnight in the guise of an earth pony.

"Well sir, He advised me to give you this folder and tell you one thing." He spoke as he pulled out a small sealed envelope hoofing it to one of the guards. "He says that he is aware of your scheme and has one of his own should you attempt to go through with it. That and multiple copies of these documents are set to teleport to every desk of every president of every paper in all of Equestria." He smirked as he watched the look of horror spread across the unicorns face as he flipped through all of the pictures several times.

"B-but?! How in Tartarus did he get these pictures? I never did any of this?!" He spoke in utter shock throwing the pictures onto the desk and began pacing back and forth. After a few minutes he piped up.

"You tell Midnight that I still have an ace up my sleeve and can stand having these pictures published. But if he does publish them I will take from him the one thing he most dearly loves." He sneered only to see the earth pony before him go wide eyed.

"He never said anything about that....." the earth pony trailed off getting a snicker from the unicorn. "Still, he said that if you didn't surrender the information, he would go through with his plan. It was his way or nothing."

"Big mistake." The unicorn growled as his horn lit up sending a bright ball of light from its tip. the ball floated out the window and into the sky quickly exploding in an array of light before disappearing. "I guess he will have to live knowing he just killed somepony very important to him." He laughed but stopped as he noticed the smile across the earth ponies face.

"Whats wrong? Cat got your tongue?" Midnight spoke as his voice changed to its original tone causing all three unicorns to gasp.

"Get him you idiots!" The president shouted as his horn lit up. Before they could blink all three ponies stopped in their tracks as Midnight vanished. They looked around the room for a moment before Midnight reappeared in his original form in front of the unicorns desk. All three of the unicorns horns lit up for a moment before a bolt of electricity was sent through them knocking out the two guards but only paralyzing the president unicorn. He looked up from the floor gritting his teeth as he let out a loud snort seeing the magic ring placed around his horn. He looked over to Midnight as he began.

"I'll still kill Celestia and your bastard foal." He chuckled with a sinister grin.

'Midnight, the guard was caught, he put up a fight and injured a few ponies but Celestia and Starlight are ok.' Twilight spoke through the telepathic link.

"Seems your assassin failed. Let's go for a little ride shall we?" He chuckled as he teleported himself and the unicorn to the palace.

After a quick and loud entrance Midnight tossed the unicorn to some of the elite guard as he trotted to Celestia's side.

"This scum is the one who started all of this, I'll gather his friends in time." He grinned.

"You won't find them, and your information is going to be plastered all over the front page. I can't wait to see the ponies of Equestria's faces once they find out all of this information." He spat back as the guards restrained him.

"Tia, you got that potion I asked for?" He spoke looking back to the princess who quickly floated it over to him.

"Are you sure this is needed? I hate to have to use one of these rare potions just for something this small." She sighed watching him consume the contents quickly. His entire frame began to glow a light blue as it quickly began to move to his horn.

"I think your going to like this little spell douche bag, I made it just for you." Midnight chuckled as his horn erupted in magic, the strain of using so much magic at once clearly spread across his face as a beam of light shot straight up into the sky and spread out making a large circle around the entire planet. The circle began to move slowly in a single direction, as it finished a complete revolution it doubled in speed making two more revolutions before stopping and vanishing.

Midnight fell to the floor panting as his magic was completely drained. His body began to glow a bright white as his form began to slowly shift. After a minute the light faded showing a human in Midnight's place.

"WHAT!?" The unicorn shouted in complete shock.

"Heh, guess you didn't know I'm a human from another world did you asshole." Charles laughed.

"Charlie? But how?" Twilight asked as she came forward to his side.

"Side effect from the potion I guess. It's ok, I don't mind staying like this until I get some magic again." He smirked then looked to the unicorn giving a death glare. "As for you, guards, take him to the dungeon and toss him into a maximum security cell. I'll deal with him personally once I return to normal."

The two elite looked to Celestia who only nodded in confirmation. They made a quick exit from the room taking a screaming unicorn with them.

"Charles? What do you plan on doing with him?" Celestia asked as she trotted up to him slowly.

"I'm going to kill him." He said flatly causing Celestia and Twilight to gasp.

"What?! But you can't!?" Twilight spoke in shock only to get a glare from Charles as he began.

"That filthy bastard was going to kill Celestia and Starlight, my only child. I have zero tolerance toward anything, be it human or pony, that has any plans to hurt a child or loved one. I am only going to say this once Twilight. His head will roll, and then I will have pictures of it sent to each of his friends that were in that room when I was spying on them. I will include a note saying only one thing, This is what happens to those who go against the night. We will have no problems after that." He spoke through ice causing the two mares to glanced worriedly at him.

"Charles, this is not how I rule Equestria." She began but was interrupted.

"That is why your followers are trying to hurt you then. You are to kind toward everypony. All it takes is one to start a rebellion to try and overthrow you so that they can take your spot on the throne. I may not be royalty but I sure as hell will not let any living thing or not, hurt you, my foal, or anypony I love and care for, continue to live if it means that they could try it again. Once I return to my Alicorn form, I will kill him, whether you approve of it or not." He said as he left the throne room making his way out of the castle.

Once he left, Celestia fell to the floor in a heap as she began to sob. Twilight coming to her side quickly.

"Princess?!" She began but stopped as Celestia gave a sniffle.

"Twilight, as much as I dislike the idea of Charles or Midnight taking a life. He is correct. If I were to allow that pony to live, he could very well try to hurt somepony else again. That includes Starlight. When it comes to my only foal, I will not take such a threat lightly. I just didn't want to break down in front of Midnight and agree to such terms. I am going to allow him to take that ponies life. Be it unwilling or not, I have no choice. For the safety of everypony including Starlight, he must die........" She trailed off as another sob began to escape her. Twilight doing her best to comfort the white Alicorn.

"Oh Midnight............. What is going on inside of you?" Twilight whispered as she and Celestia lay there on the floor of her quarters.
