Another bright flash and crack erupted onto the surface of the diamond dogs lair. Everypony was accounted for and now safe. Midnight smiled seeing them all.

"Are you alright Rarity? They didn't hurt you did they?" Midnight asked as he nuzzled the white pony affectionately. Spike groaned seeing the intimate moment wishing it was his own with the Ivory pony.

"I'm fine darling, I'm just glad everypony showed up when they did. Those ruffians threatened to dump a bucket of dirt on me if I didn't find them any gems. It was absolutely horrid." Rarity groaned causing the group to chuckle.

"Well I'm just glad you're safe, Those dogs shouldn't bother us again for a while." Midnight smiled but snapped his head around as he heard movement behind him. He turned just in time to see a large amount of something blue heading toward the group. He didn't have time to cast a spell so he unfurled his wings wide to take whatever was coming at the group instead of letting it hit them. A large lot of blue flowers pelted Midnight then harmlessly fell to the ground.

Midnight laughed loudly looking to the dogs. "Is that all you can do? Throw flowers at us? Your a bunch of IDIOTS!" Midnight yelled sending a shockwave through the entire field. His horn began to glow as he picked up all of the dogs in the area lifting them to in front of him. Hie eyes burned with a raging flame as he looked at them struggling to get away. He let out an evil laugh as the dogs began to yelp in fear. Twilight came up to his side giving him a gentle nudge with her hoof.

"Let them go Night, they've learned their lesson. I don't think they will bother us anymore." She spoke quietly in fear seeing Midnights expression of pure rage.

Midnight shifted his gaze to the group of ponies who all looked at him in fear. "Didn't you tell me that they had abducted Rarity before? Yet they did it again? What makes you think they wont get up enough courage to do it again?"

Twilight and the others stepped back hearing how cold Midnights voice had gotten. "W-we cant guarantee that, we can only hope they will learn there lesson from this experience."

"Yes, from this experience........ I need you all to go home while I take care of this situation." Midnight's gaze moved slowly back to the dogs who were now trembling in fear.

"We will go, just promise us you wont hurt them." Twilight spoke up again, Midnight looked back to her and nodded. "I wont hurt them all." He spoke his gaze returning to the dogs setting them onto the ground, a force field suddenly surrounding them.

"You dogs sit tight I'm going to give you a nice talking to." He smiled causing the rest of the ponies to smile back. They all left. RD and Twilight carrying Rarity back to Ponyville. Midnight watched them travel out of sight then turned his gaze back to the dogs. They all whined seeing his firey eyes relight. He walked over to the edge of the barrier.

"So dogs, why did you pony nap my love?" Midnight asked, staring them down.

"We pony nap to make ponies dig for gems. Dogs get tired and need slaves to dig for them." The biggest dog spoke up.

"Oh really, So I'm guessing your the big dog around here huh?" Midnight gave a wicked grin.

"I is pack leader. Am strongest Diamond dog." He stood proudly puffing his chest out.

"Do you have a second in command?" Midnight raised a brow to him.

"Yes, have second in command, Is this dog here." He waved to a dog who walked up to the pack leader proudly.

"Well then, will you be abducting anymore ponies ever again?" Midnight asked moving a bit closer to the barrier with an innocent smile.

"Diamond dogs will tire again, will find other slaves to dig for gems. Cannot guarantee that slaves be ponies or not." He smirked crossing his arms.

"Well that is a shame." Midnight pouted looking to the ground, his eyes slowly moving back up to the dog standing next to the alpha. "Hey you, second in command. If you are the new pack leader, would you stop abducting ponies if it meant I spared your life and made you the new pack leader?" Midnights words were venom to all the dogs ears, they recoiled with a whine except the leader who growled at the threat to having his rank torn from him.

"I would consider it." The dog smiled, his eyes turning to a slit as he looked at the pack leader.

"Then I grant you pack leadership. I would also like to show you what would happen should any of you dogs decide to abduct ANY creatures to become a slave to you EVER again." Midnight cackled as the pack leader lunged toward his second in command only to stop meer inches from him as he was pulled away with sheer force of magic. The dog yelped loudly crying out as his tail was dislocated from the tug. He cried out pulling his tail between his legs holding it.

The other dogs watched in horror as to what follows.

Midnight gave a twisted smile as he pulled the pack leader by his broken tail around the ground, The dog screaming in pain. The dog finally could not take anymore and began to use his claws to remove his tail from his body. After a minute and several bloody swipes later the tail had been removed, The pack leader curled into a ball from the pain.

"Please, no more hurtses me. Will never look at another pony again, Will move mine far away. Will never hurt anything, please, no more hurtses." He whined.

"I don't believe that this is enough incentive to keep your pack from abducting anymore ponies. They will see that I am DEAD serious about keeping all of the ponies in this world safe. As well as other creatures who might be harmed.

"NO! PLEASE! I WONT HURT ANY *GACK*" The Diamond dog was cut short as magic grabbed tightly around his throat. He clawed wildly at the force holding his throat only to bring blood pouring from claw wounds that he was inflicting upon himself. Midnight held him there for another minute until his movements began to slow, then releasing him to fall to the ground with a thud. The dog gasped for air as it filled his lungs. He scrambled away through the pack of dogs only to be quickly followed by Midnight.

The dogs began to surround the Alicorn, other dogs began to show some intelligence moving away in fear.

"If you want to live dogs, then you must watch what I am about to do to your former leader." Midnight cackled loudly pulling the dog by his ears with magic toward him. The dogs stopped, giving a whine as they watched in horror.

"Oh how I wish you had been smart enough to stay away from the ponies of this world. Now I'm going to make you beg for death." Midnight grinned causing the dog to empty his bowls and bladder onto the ground.

Midnight watched the dog in almost ecstasy as he slowly began to break each limb, the howls of pain seemed to be music to his ears, Soon all the limbs had been broken, The dog now begged Midnight for death.

"Please, *cough cough* kills us, we regret everything we have dones to the ponies. *cough* we cannot bares the pains. Please, kills us." He cried, tears and blood covering his face. Many of the dogs had pissed themselves in sheer terror seeing their leader so easily broken. They now knew what fate would be held for them should they ever abduct another creature in this world.

Midnight smiled to the dog as it gurgled on blood, He lifted the dog into the air in the middle of the pack. "This is what will happen to ANYONE of you DOGS that EVER hurt another creature AGAIN!" He shouted sending a shockwave through them all as he began to pull all of the dogs limbs in separate directions, sickening cracks could be heard, the former leader howled in pain as all four of his limbs were torn from his body, He foamed at the mouth for a few moment before Midnight finally crushed the rest of him into a gooey pulp dropping it into the middle of the pack.

The force field was dropped as he left the area, all the dogs fled in terror except the new pack leader. He came up to Midnight shaking in fear. He bowed before the dark Alicorn as he spoke.

"You has my word that no pony or others will be taken. Any dog that hurts others will be killed on site." he spoke, the smell of tears and urine surrounding him.

Midnight nodded to him, the dog left quickly following the rest of the pack underground.

Midnight looked around, he stepped over to the blue flowers that had been tossed at him before. He picked up one looking it over with his magic. He smiled taking a big sniff of the beautiful flower then tossing it to the side. He trotted away back toward Ponyville murmuring to himself.

"Heh, stupid dogs throwing flowers at me? Did they think this was a wedding?" He laughed as he vanished from site.

The girls and Spike had arrived back at the library within minutes of leaving Midnight. Rarity took a shower as the rest began to settle in. Pinkie on the other hoof decided it be prudent to throw a "Congratulations on getting a beautiful set of wings and saving Rarity from scary diamond dogs" party. Before any of the girls realized it, Pinkie had left the library and returned, decorating the library at break neck speeds and setting up the huge table of foods, cakes,and punch.

Rarity had just finished her shower heading back downstairs to see all of the library being partied up. A pink blur passed the white pony placing a cup of punch and cupcake in her hooves. A party hat now adorning her head. She gave a chuckle taking them with her magic as she made her way into the main room of the library seeing the others having fun. She walked quietly over to Twilight who had found a semi quiet spot to sit down.

"Twilight, darling. I am ever so curious about what Midnight said earlier." She said taking a sip of her punch.

"What do you mean?" Twilight asked giving her a nervous expression.

"Well, Midnight said that he wouldn't hurt them 'all', Don't you think that was a strange way of saying he wouldn't hurt them?"

Just as Rarity finished that sentence, a cold chill fell through the room as Midnight entered the library.

Pinky stopped feeling the chill, "Oh no! I feel a combo coming on. Ear flop, tail flick, pinchy knee." She said but stopped in her tracks sitting down onto her haunches as Midnight passed her by, going further into the library. Pinkie's mane deflated as she watched the Alicorn pass by without a word. A look as if the Alicorn was furious at the world shown across his face.

"Oh........... no..........." Pinkie spoke softly as her eyes became points in the white of her eyes. She ran out the door without further word.

Midnight moved next to Rarity, smiling and giving her a passionate kiss in front of Twilight who turned red at the sight.

"Oh my! Midnight! How scandalous of you." Rarity giggled running her hoof in circles around his chest. He smiled laying down beside her. He smiled to Twilight giving her a wink which only made her redden further causing him to laugh.

"So darling, Twilight explained the wings she has, would you do me the honor of giving me a beautiful set of wings as well?' She cooed nuzzling him. He smiled leaning down and whispering into her ear.

"Oh I would love to do you right now." He smirked causing her face to almost explode with red. She looked up at him in shock for a moment until she saw his horn glowing. A minute passed by as Rarity emerged from a bright light with a set of ivory white wings perfectly matching her coat. The tips of her wings a light purple matching her mane. She squealed in delight pouncing Midnight over.

"My my Rarity, right in front of your friends? I didn't think you had it in you." He chuckled causing her to move off of him. "Its ok, I don't mind, who knows, maybe they can join in?" He smiled looking around seeing everypony slack jawed.

"Midnight?! What has gotten into you?" Rarity yelled in shock. "That is not like you in the least."

Midnight gave a frown looking at Rarity. "Oh but won't you indulge my curiosity? I'd love to see who would be willing after all."

"Now what in tarnation has gotten into you? That's no way ta speak in front of any pony, ah think you should apologize. Taint right saying such things." AJ stepped forward next to Rarity, Fluttershy hiding behind her.

"Yea Midnight, that was not cool." RD spoke up hovering next to Twilight.

"Oh my, seems my friend's are angry with my little joke. It's to bad really, I had hoped to have a little more fun with all of you. Especially the ones I haven't had the chance to have fun with." Midnight gave an evil grin causing the girls to recoil slightly in fear.

"W-what are you talking about Midnight?" RD questioned as her brow began to furrow.

"Oh I think you are perfectly aware of what I'm speaking of little miss mach ten." He laughed.

Rainbow burned bright red at the comment landing next to Twilight looking to the floor.

"Now see here! That was above and beyond called for. I demand you apologize this instant." Rarity snapped causing the others to gawk at her. Midnight moved closer to her smiling.

"And why should I apologize Triple feature. I'm sure if I went by the Spa the Twins wouldn't mind going another round. I did rather enjoy the beating I got from them." Midnight cackled causing Rarity to blush furiously backing away with her ear hung low, tears starting to well up in her eyes.

"H-how could you........ Those moment were so special to us, and you blatantly tell them in public, and even to our friends? Your no more special than a bug that I would squish because it is disgusting. You should leave Midnight, I........ I don't want to see you ever again." Rarity cried as the tears fell from her face.

Twilight and Applejack came to her sides, trying to comfort the heartbroken Rarity. They all looked up to Midnight with disgust.

"Hmph, I guess I'll take my leave then. Maybe that bitch I knocked up will put up with me in the castle." He snorted as he left the library in a flash of light.

Twilight gasped for a moment thinking about the princess. "Oh my gosh! He is going to the princess. We need to warn her about his sudden change. This could be very dangerous for her."

After making a quick note and having Spike send it away in a flash It took almost an hour before a response was made.

"Twilight, what has happened to Midnight? Has he gone mad?! You must come to the castle at once, Bring all of the elements of harmony with you. This may be our only chance before.............."

Twilight didn't finish the note as it had been singed terribly. The rest of the note was gone. Twilight began to shake violently from fear as it crept over her. The others came to her side as her magic let go of the letter, letting it fall to the floor. They each read the letter, all turning paler version of there coats.

"Twi, what are we gunna do? Ah don't think we could go up against an Alicorn like Midnight. He seems purty strong." AJ spoke as she looked at the group of crying mares.

"I don't know Applejack, he seemed like a totally different stallion earlier. He hasn't seemed the same ever since......." Twilight's eyes went to plates as she remember earlier at the diamond dogs. They had thrown a blue flower at them but Midnight had blocked them with his body and wings. "Girls, I think I know whats wrong with Midnight. I think he has poison joke affecting him."

The girls all looked at Twilight before realizing it themselves.

"Girls, we are going to need to get some of that natural remedy ready to use on Midnight. Who knows what he is doing in Canterlot right........." Twilight stopped as everypony looked to the door as Pinkie burst in. She had two large bushels, one on either side of her like a saddlebag.

"Pinkie?" Twilight began.

"GIRLS! We need to find Midnight and fast. If we don't hit him with these water balloons, then all of Equestria or MORE could be in serious trouble." Pinkie shout as she hoofed out a water balloon to each of the girls.

"Pinkie, whats with these?" RD asked pointing to the watter balloon filled and ready to throw.

"Silly, they have the cure for poison joke in them. All we gotta do is hit Midnight with a few to wash off the poison joke." Pinkie smiled.

They all rushed out of the door quickly taking to the skies and heading toward Canterlot.
