Midnight awoke the next morning feeling the aftermath of the battle from last night. His entire body was more sore than he had ever experienced before. He raised up in bed with shaky legs, his wings laying limply to his sides as he slowly pulled himself from the bed and onto the floor.

"Damn, that spell must have taken more out of me than I thought. How the hell did I do that anyway?" He grumbled as he pulled his wings up to his sides folding them gently inward. He blinked a few times removing the sleep from his eyes as he now noticed were he was.

"What am I doing in the castle?" He asked himself as he looked around the room realizing exactly what room he was in.
"Isn't this Luna's room?" He stopped hearing a slight snore turning around he noticed another lump in the bed he had just removed himself from, A flowing dark blue mane just visible from the top of the covers. His eyes going wide in astonishment as he stood there gawking for a moment.

"No........fucking............way................." He spoke softly as he trotted over to the bed looking at Luna as she slept.

"But how did I........."

"BOO!" Luna yelled flipping the covers from her as she lunged slightly at Midnight.

In that split second Midnight had gone from questioning how he had gotten into the same bed as Luna then suddenly found himself trying to remove his head from the hole he had just made in the ceiling. Luna lay on the bed cackling loudly causing her sister and a couple guards to enter her room.

"Sister? What is all the noise abou.........." Celestia trailed off as she noticed Luna staring and laughing at the ceiling. Her vision quickly falling onto the black Alicorn trying to pull his head from the ceiling. She quickly placed a hoof over her mouth attempting to contain a giggle. The two guards that had followed he in had a harder time than she was as thier mouths began to crack slightly, Some mumbled laughing began to escape them only furthering Celestia to giggle more. After a good ten seconds of seeing Midnight trying to dislodge himself he finally popped his head loose from the hole giving a slight scream as he began to fall to the floor. Unable to open his wings in time he braced himself for an impact that never came. Celestia was giggling loudly as she caught Midnight in her magic setting him onto the floor.

"My dear, I am almost afraid to ask what happened." Celestia smiled warmly trotting up to the disgruntled Alicorn. He giving her an unamused glare as his flank fell to the floor.

"Let's just say I wasn't expecting to wake up in the same bed as Luna." He cocked an eyebrow looking back to Luna who was whistling innocently on the bed looking up into a random spot on the ceiling. She turned her gaze to her sister as a huge smile spread across her face.

"Well, it may come as a surprise Midnight, but when you defeated the shadow last night, Luna's body became very weak since it had used so much of her power on the other beings it had captured to fight you. When we moved her into the castle and further from you we noticed a slight change in the way she was attempting to adjust to the loss. She began to seizure violently when she was pulled further from you. However when you were drew closer she began to calm. The only logical thing the doctors could come up with was to place the two of you in the same bed to rest and heal through the night."

Midnight gave her a puzzled look. "Is that why I feel so sore?"

Celestia gaze him a puzzled look this time as did Luna. "Sore? You shouldn't be sore my dear, Our medical staff worked through the night to replenish your magic and heal the wounds in which your body had obtained from the fight. You shouldn't feel sore in the least."

Midnight cocked a brow but winced in pain as he tried to rise from the floor only to fall back down in a heap. He gave a small yelp of pain as hit hit the floor. Celestia and Luna came over to his side attempting to help him up but only failed as he didn't have the strength now to rise. He lay there silently on the floor for a minute before speaking.

"I feel incredibly weak for some reason." He spoke softly as he looked from Luna to Celestia.

Celestia looked back nodding to a guard who quickly left the room coming back with a doctor and nurse who began to look Midnight over as he lay on the floor. After a few minutes and some scans from the Doctors magic he gave a thoughtful hum as he stood there looking between Midnight and Luna and Celestia. He trotted over to the night princess scanning her as well, Then Celestia. He stopped, clearing his throat as he began.

"It seems we have a little problem." He spoke as he pulled out a chart and began to draw write on it with his magic.

"What seems to be the problem Doctor?" Celestia asked moving forward slightly.

"Well it seems as if Luna is siphoning magic from this fellow unknowingly. At this rate he will be completely drained of all magic within the hour." He spoke causing the girls to gasp softly looking back to Midnight as he gave a tired yawn.

"Is there a way to stop the flow?" Luna asked pleadingly.

The doctor hummed again for a minute as he scanned Luna and Midnight a couple more times before speaking again.

"Well, I fear that there are only two methods to stop the magic flow and possibly return what you have gain from him." The doctor spoke looking around nervously.

"What is it?" Celestia and Luna asked in unison coming closer to the doctor.

"Well, you may not like the concept." The doctor began to back peddle from them slightly as they advanced again.

"Please tell us." Luna pleaded causing the doctor to sigh lowering his head as he spoke.

"The only methods to stop the leeching process is intercourse.........." The doctor paused as a resounding THUD erupted from behind them. Midnight had passed out from the shock of the answer and loss of magic. but mainly magic.

"Or a kiss, as I was about to say." He finished shaking his head at the fallen Alicorn.

Luna looked to the lightly snoring Alicorn before her giving a slight frown. "So I'm guessing the only option is a kiss at this point." She pouted causing her sister to gawk at her.

The doctor gave a cough to signal he was still in the room causing the two regal Alicorns to blush.

"Well a kiss isn't so bad." Luna smirked trotting over to Midnight, lifting his muzzle to hers as she pressed her lips to his. Luna's eyes whipped open in shock as a bolt of electricity bolted through her body. She pulled back from the kiss, her lips still apart as a small plume of smoke escaped her mouth. She sat down quickly with a soft thump starring at Midnight who was starting to come around.

"Luna?" Celestia spoke softly trotting to her sister as she starred at Midnight with awe struck eyes.

"Wow." Is all Luna could muster as she pulled a hoof up to her lips smiling behind it, as she watched Midnight finally come into the waking world before him.

Midnight shook himself as he felt the surge of energy consume him, He opened his eyes once again trying to blink the sleep away as he slowly rose to his hooves looking at Celestia and Luna.

"O.............kay............." He trailed off as he checked himself over, mainly his groin to see if he had been raped while unconscious. He gave a notable sigh of relief as he felt nothing out of the norm in his loins. "So how did we break the mmmMMMMMMPH!" Midnight was caught off guard as Luna had tackled him to the floor kissing him again, another bolt of electricity being sent through them both as the kiss broke. They lay there for a moment looking into each others eyes before speaking softly.

"Wow." They both spoke in almost an inaudible tone.

"Ahem!* came from their side as Celestia tapped her foot onto the marble tiling impatiently, cocking an eyebrow as she starred at the two.

Luna and Midnight blushed as they quickly stood upright at attention in from of the sun princess.

"Doctor, what caused my sister to leech magic from Midnight?" Celestia asked the doctor as she turned to him.

"Well, from what information I had gathered, it seems that your sister and Midnight here have gained a special connection from last nights ordeal. As long as they stay in each others company, Luna will continue to siphon magic from Midnight, however it will not be dangerous to Midnight as long as he can continue to produce magic like normal. He is still currently healing from last nights battle and will continue to get weak as long as they are near each other. But it shouldn't become an issue if Luna can give him a quick peck every other hour unless he leaves the castle to return home."

Luna blushed looking to Midnight who just sat there slack jawed looking at the doctor before shaking himself to his senses.

"Wait, I thought you said intercourse before I passed out." Midnight spoke in broken words looking at the doctor who just blushed.

"Well, there is that method if you two prefer it. However, A kiss will work just as well." He smiled nervously to the glaring male Alicorn.

"I think a kiss will suffice." Celestia sputtered as he wings flared out. "Thank you doctor." She spoke in a slightly more audible tone as the doctor nodded exiting the room with the two guards in tow. Celestia snapped her attention back to Midnight who just grinned at her.

"And why prey tell are you giving me that look Midnight?" Celestia smirked cocking an eyebrow.

"Oh............ no reason." He laughed getting to his hooves. "I do have a question though." He continued.

"And what is that?" Celestia asked, clearly curious.

"How in the hell did I end up here after last night? And what in the world happened?" He asked causing Celestia to sigh, nodding to the door motioning Luna and Midnight to follow her.

After breakfast had been consumed and Midnight filled in on the previous nights events, he was astonished to find out that somehow he had become a set of armor for Twilight through unknown magic.

"So you have no idea how it happened or what the spell is I used to do it?" Midnight asked as he pushed his empty plate forward onto the table.

"It is a puzzling matter. Furthermore from how Luna is now leeching your magic into her. We will need to study the various effects your spell has on ponies while in action." Celestia smirked as she took a sip of tea.

Midnight sat there, his jaw hanging agape at her response. "Do you seriously want me to attempt that spell again even though I have no idea how I did it?" He asked still in slight shock.

"Yes my dear, I have already sent a request To Twilight and the other elements to meet us outside of Sweet Apple Acres for the tests." She smiled causing Midnight to groan.

"So I have no say so in this?" he asked giving her a disbelieving glare.

"Not this time." Celestia giggled taking a final sip of her tea.

"Will Luna be present?" He asked looking to the night princess.

"Unfortunately not. Since we have yet to remedy the leeching process from between you two, having her present during the tests might cause unwarranted results." Celestia sighed looking to her sister who laid her ears back in disappointment.

"So when do we leave?" He asked looking to the smiling sun princess.

"They should be arriving shortly to the designated area. We should leave shortly to meet them." Celestia smiled as she rose from her seat, Midnight following suit.

After a quick teleport to the specified location into a field on the Sweet Apple Acres property, Celestia and Midnight arrived in a flash startling the elements.

"Good morning princess." Twilight smiled as she and the others kneeled in her presence.

"Good morning my little ponies. I am sure you all know why we have gathered here this morning." Celestia beamed.

"Well, not entirely." Rainbow Dash added as she rubbed the back of her neck nervously.

"I'll make this short and sweet girls." Midnight spoke out. "Remember when I turned into armor for Twilight last night?"

The girls nodded.

"Apparently the conflicting magic caused Luna to become a magical leech to me. She has been siphoning my magic since last night unknowingly." He spoke causing the girls to look to one another in confusion.

"So why are we here?" Rarity asked trotting forward.

"We are here to see what type of effects Midnights magic may cause when combined with one of you." Celestia added as she looked at the six mares and slightly annoyed Midnight.

"Alright, so how does all this here work?" AJ asked looking from Midnight to Celestia.

"That is something I cannot answer. Midnight can apparently combine with the elements to become a special armor and weapon for them to use in case the elements are not able to defeat a foe. It will be up to him to figure out how he did what he did last night."

The girls all looked at each other in worry as Midnight trotted forward, laying onto the soft grass in front of Twilight.

"Twi, the only way I can think of, to find out how I did what I did is to take a 'walk' down the beaten path." He smirked causing Twilight to nod as her horn began to glow, she slowly pressing it to his forehead.

*FLASH*

After a blinding light erupted from all around them, Twilight and Midnight were now in his mind, standing between the two rows of doors. Twilight looking to the Alicorn who just gave a sigh. He lifted his head as he spoke out.

"Memories." He spoke out.

*CLICK*
*wwwhhhhhiiiiiiIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRrrrrrrr*

A door stopped in front of Midnight, a square plate on one side of the door reading. 'Please refer to who, what, when, or where. The specific event will show below and knowledge will be given upon opening the door.

"Hmmmmmm" Twilight smirked from the door to Midnight.

"Don't you be getting any funny ideas." Midnight laughed causing Twilight to giggle.

"Alright." She smirked as she took in a breath to speak. "Last night, one minute before Midnight cast the combination spell."

The panel to the side of the door began to glow as it showed the specified event and Midnight combining with Twilight. They gave a nervous swallow as they reach to the door pulling it open sending out a flood of information. After a minute the door closed revealing the updated Midnight and Twilight who stood there with a grin.

"I think this is going to be fun." Twilight laughed.

"Let's find out." Midnight chuckled as a bright flash erupted around them sending them back to reality.

They awoke looking at each other with a determined smile, standing up as both of their horns glowed brightly.

"Twilight!?" Shouted everypony around as Twilight and Midnight were engulfed into a blinding light.

After everyone blinked a few times to regain their vision they all gawked at what they saw before them.

Twilight in the same armor as last night. A large sickle in her right forehoof as she stood upright on her hind legs.

"That is so much cooler now that we can watch you." Rainbow Dash grinned causing Twilight to blush.

"Alright, can you hear me Midnight?" Celestia asked as Twilight looked to her.

"We can hear you." Twilight and Midnight spoke in unison through Twilight's mouth causing everypony to gawk.

"Excellent." Celestia smiled as her horn began to glow brightly, causing the ground to shake as a giant rock sprung from the ground fifty yards away. "Please begin different attacks onto this rock. I will monitor you as you do so." Celestia smiled watching the armor clad Twilight who just gave a shrug.

"Alright I guess." She spoke as she lifted the scythe and brung it down at an incredible speed sending forth a giant glowing blade at the rock.

The blade collided with the rock shattering into a beautiful array of light and sparkles, after the light show ended the rock had a huge gash in it. Celestia moved forward gawking at how deep the gash was, She trotted back with a worried smile as she spoke. "Please continue with different attacks." Celestia smiled.

Twilight gave a shrug as the blade began t warp slightly. The blade morphing upward making it look more like a curved lance now. Twilight again swung at the rock. This time causing multiple light blades to scream out hitting the rock.

Twilight just smirked but stopped for a moment as she spoke. "I wonder how potent my magic is now?" She asked in a united voice as he horn began to glow far brighter than normal.

After a moment of charging her power a large purple beam erupted from the tip spreading out as it crashed into the rock just yards away. After the smoke cleared everypony sat in shock looking at the almost completely destroyed rock.

"Wow." Is all Twi-Night could say.

"Alright then." Celestia smiled nervously as they continued testing for another ten minutes before Twilight and Midnight separated.

"So Midnight, let's continue the experiment." Celestia spoke out regaining his and the others attention.

"What do you mean?" Midnight asked cocking a brow at the sun princess.

"We need to see the effect your spell has on all of the elements, so you will need to combine with all of them as you did with Twilight." She added as she wrote down the information she had gathered from Twilight and Midnight combining.

"Wonderful." Midnight spoke in a flat tone causing the girls to giggle. He turned to the group as he was about to ask who would be next before being bowled over by Rainbow Dash. A huge smile across her face.

"I guess that answers my question." He laughed as his horn glowed brightly merging the two of them into one.

Rainbow dash stood up on her back legs, a wickedly determined grin across her face as she stared at the rock. Her set of armor was very similar to Twilight's but with a few alternative choices of style and armor placement.

Her wings were no longer attached to her back as a bright pair of ethereal blue wings were floating behind her. She had a bladed bracer on each forearm that attached at just above the wrist joint and extended to her elbow in a soft curve. Her mane flowing down her back between her large wings as she opened them wide causing the girls to cheer and gasp in delight.

"You may" *ching ching ching* "Begin?" Celestia spoke looking as Dash suddenly seemed to shift and blurr for just a split second. She blinked as Rainbow smirked speaking out.

"Already done." She chuckled looking to the rock as a slight rumble was heard causing the others to look to the rock before three large chunks of it fell off to either side of the base. Celestia and the other looked back to Rainbow Dash who just blew onto her hoof and rubbed it against her breastplate idly as she stood there.

"How?" Celestia began but stopped as soon as she blinked seeing RD disappear from sight.

"It's all about speed princess." Rainbow giggled as she reappeared next to Celestia causing her to jump slightly.

Celestia nodded taking down more notes as she made another large rock erupt from the ground. After having Rainbow attack the rock several more times, Celestia was satisfied with the result of each attack that had been done also adding other notes to the form as well.

RD and Midnight separated, RD moving back to the group as AJ moved forward with a smirk.

"Ready big guy?" She grinned.

"Eeyup." Midnight laughed seeing AJ's expression quickly shifting again and combining with her. Everyone gasped seeing the armor clad AJ as she stood up onto her back legs. Her hat had become a helmet covering the sides of her face but leaving enough room to make sure she wouldn't be blinded on her sides. The helmet fit snuggly to her head, justting down and forward over the top of her muzzle and mouth. Her armor was an elegant red, similar in shape to Twilights except she had aloos full body armor covering herself. On her back she had three sets of swords that jutted out like wings. The outside part was a long thick double sided longsword. The next sword was a samurai sword and the inner swords were fencing blades.

"Begin." Celestia spoke as AJ's hoofs extended from their resting spot at her sides reaching out into thin air as the outer blades of her wings snapped into her hooves. She quickly did a little blade dance sending out massive shockwaves from her swords into the rock making it explode on contact. The girls cheered her on loudly as a plume of white smoke erupted from her muzzleguard.

Celestia stood in shock for a moment before summoning another rock. AJ smiled tossing the two swords up into the air as she reached out for the next set. The samurai swords. The long blades snapped quickly back onto her back as she lashed out with the thinner swords more quickly then replacing them onto her back as she watched the rock before her fall apart slowly in a similar fashion to Rainbows attack.

Celestia looked on concentrating as she summoned another rock as the quill kept moving on the paper taking notes.

AJ snapped the fencing swords to her hooves as she did so fancy blade dancing with them toward the rock. After a minute it seemed as it nothing had happened to the rock. AJ smirked placing the sword back onto her back walking forward to the rock she pulled it from the ground with incredible strength and tossed it over to where she was once standing. Everypony looked on in shock as they noticed the rock riddled with thousands of holes completely going through it out onto the other side.

Celestia nodded in awe at the feat. "Now how about magic?" She asked looking to AJ who stood there confused. She and Midnight spoke out in her southern drawl.

"Begin yer pardon princess, But earth ponies don't exactly have any real magic they can use."

"What about that incredible strength. Do you think you can do attacks with your hooves?" She asked with a smile.

"Yeah AJ, try stomping the ground, we are earth ponies after all." Pinkie Pie giggled as she jumped up and down.

AJ hummed for a moment before walking a little distance away on her back legs. She faced away from the girls and Celestia as she brought down her forehooves into the ground hard.

*RRRRRUUUUUMMMMMBBBBLLLLLEEEEEE*

The entire ground shook violently as she hit it. She pulled her forhooves up one at a time repeatedly ramming them into the ground as the tremors turned into a violent shake causing everyone to fall to the ground unable to stand. Except Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash who were floating just above the ground in awe.

AJ let out a loud primal scream as she pulled her to forehooves up above her head and slammed them as hard as she could into the ground causing it to break apart and send massive rock spikes from the ground up into every direction around her. The girls gasped as they watched in silence, that is until AJ busted through the rocks with a single blow casually trotting back over to in front of the gawking Celestia.

Midnight separated from AJ giving a huff. "Wow that was intense." He laughed causing AJ to grin.

"Alright Midnight, Lets try Pinkie." Celestia smiled as Pinkie hopped over smiling.

Another bright flash and they had combined. Pinkie's armor however was rather strange to say the least. She was of course standing on her back legs with a huge grin across her face as she looked herself over.

"OMYGOSH THIS IS SO COOL!" She giggled but stopped as she listened to her voice and Midnights combined into one. Everyone began to laugh hearing Midnight voice speaking like Pinkie normally did. After a minute of laughing the princess urged them to go ahead.

Pinkies armor was similar in fashion to AJ's except she had a small cannon attached to each of her forehooves. Instead of a normal looking breastplate she had what seemed to be a tight fitting breast plate with a larger shell like shield attached to her back.

"Alright, let's see how these babies fire!" She laughed as she raised her arm cannons forward at the large rock. She flexed her arms lightly as little light particles began to slowly form at the end of each cannon.

Celestia gasped loudly as she pulled the girls over and behind her as the particles began to fill the tip of each cannon.

"PINKIE! AIM TO THE SKY!" Celestia screamed causing Pinkie to quickly adjust her weapons firing trajectory. After another split second the cannons fire up and into the sky with a deafening boom pushing Pinkie down into the dirt as they continued the blast for almost a full five seconds.

The girls and Celestia looked over to see only Pinkies arms flailing from the spot she had bee crushed into the ground. Pinkie managed to pull herself out of the hole shaking off with a giggle.

"WOW! That was so awesome I don't even know what to say." She giggle looking to her back as she brushed more dirt off. As she was brushing she noticed a large divot in the shell.

"OOOOO! I think I have another cannon." She giggled but her head vanished into the shell as she fell to all four legs, the divot on her shell armor opening and pushing out a very large cannon.

"Oh crap." Celestia spoke as she quickly dug a trench pulling herself and the girls into it. After a few more seconds of particle gathering, and pointing the cannon to the sky at a slight slant it fired. The boom was ten times as loud and the beam ten times as large. The girls and Celestia came up from the trench as Pinkie and Midnight separated.

"Now THAT was an awesome party cannon!" Pinkie laughed as she bounced over to the girls who were all rolling their eyes.

Celestia took a deep breath as she continued writing. "Fluttershy your next."

Fluttershy came forward slowly, he pink mane covering most of her face as she tried to hide behind it. She looked up to Midnight who was smiling warmly to her.

"I......... I don't want to fight." She spoke softly.

"You don't have to Shy, this is just to see what all of our abilities are when I am combined with one of you. "Midnight smile reassuringly causing the yellow Pegasus to smile and move forward.

In a flash of light Fluttershy appeared on her back legs standing nervously with her forehooves pulled up in front of her. Her armor was nothing like the others, It consisted of only shoulder pads and a large cape that fell down almost to the ground.

"This is odd." Celestia said raising an eyebrow while looking Fluttershy over.

"I-is this bad? I'm sorry." Fluttershy looked away dejected.

"It's alright Shy. Maybe this is a good sign, If you don't have armor then that means you have passive or defensive abilities. Didn't you say you cared for animals?" Midnights voice rang out from the armor.

"Y-yes........." She trailed off.

"Well......... Try to think of healing something." He continued.

"Try and heal my orchard. That dang shadow took a lot of my trees out. It'll be months before they are fully healed with any magic." AJ said encouragingly.

"Alright." Fluttershy spoke as she closed her eyes to concentrate. After a minute she began to glow as a bright yellow light erupted from her in every direction.

As the light faded everypony gawked seeing every tree in the orchard completely healed and ready to be bucked as they were all covered in apples, and it was still snowy out.

A loud cheer erupted from the group causing Fluttershy to meep quietly as s small flash erupted from around her again as she and Midnight separated.

"Alright, Rarity it's your turn." Celestia smiled causing Rarity to flick her mane back as she trotted up to her beau. She smiled as she leaned up giving him a kis as they erupted in a bright flash of light.

As everyponies eyes readjusted for the sixth time they gawked at what they saw.

"What is it? Am I horrid looking? Is my mane out of place? OH NO!? Have I turned green?! Please tell me I am not GREEN!?" Rarity spoke out as if horrified.

"Dang Rar. I think you got the best set of armor out of all of us." AJ chuckled looking at her.

Rarity looked herself over gasping with delight. She was floating just above the ground inside floating pieces of armor that was made of a semi transparent purple gem. A beautiful set of white ethereal wings on its back. She looked to her chest as a small breast plate adorned it connecting it to the armor she was now residing inside.

"This is most curious." Celestia spoke out. She trotted up to Rarity, scanning her with a spell.

"What's wrong?" Rarity asked looking rather worried.

Celestia's eyes snapped open in surprise.

"This is amazing. It appears that the reason your armor is so different is due to how much Midnight loves you." Celestia smiled causing Rarity to blush so bright her armor turned a deep red. This caused the girls to giggle at her expense.

"Alright Rarity, You may begin." Celestia smiled nodding toward the large stone. Rarity's face turned to a determined glare as she raised an arm and made the armors fist collide with the ground. A shockwave sprang forth toward the rock as gem spikes erupted from the ground until it reached the rock quickly encasing it in diamond.

"Well that's one way to completely and permanently immobilize an opponent." Twilight gawked.

Rarity gave a smirk as she raised her hoof to just over her right shoulder, a giant clear diamond blade forming behind her as the hand of the armor clutched the grip pulling it upward and then bring it down quickly striking the ground in a slicing motion to the same spot the fist hit. The rock encased in diamond shattered into dust as it was carried away with the wind

"My goodness." Rarity gasped at the power she held by the love from her beau.

A soft light erupted as the armor clad pony returned to two separate ponies. Rarity giving him a soft kiss before returning to the girls.

"Now for the final test." Celestia smiled as she strode over to Midnight.

"Princess?" He spoke rather confused.

"Yes Midnight, now you must combine with me." She smiled.

He gave a sigh as his horn glowed making them erupt into a brilliant white light.

Celestia blinked a few times as her vision cleared. She was standing on all four hooves but completely decked out in light armor. Two swords floating at her sides, her wings were a brilliant golden ethereal as they wave in the non existent wind much like her mane and tail.

"I can feel such massive power. This does not sit well with me. The last time I felt such power I had to send my home planet into the sun, that took every ounce of strength I had, to feel it like this. Here and now." She trailed off. "Midnight, please separate form me." She spoke softly as a light came forth around them making them to separate ponies once again.

"What's wrong Tia?" Midnight asked coming to her side.

"That power will only be needed in case there is no other choice. Please remember that." She spoke looking away from him worriedly.

After some more talking and further instruction, the girls had gone home as well as Midnight to Rarity's. Celestia had returned to the castle to finish up her report on the mystery spell Midnight had acquired. In her final notes of the night she wrote the following.

"In recent event's I have found myself humbled and also put to the test of my power against a fierce foe. I have found that although there is a limit to my power and I cannot properly take care of my people should the time arise when they need me. Another has come forth to take the lead to protect this world through his sheer passion to save those he love's and wished that no harm to come to them. This Alicorn has far greater power than anything I have seen in my lifespan. Even more so than the great Shadow Hunter. I just hope that in time, he does not turn against all that he loves and cares for. Should that event arise, I do not think I could take his life without pause."

She gently tucked the quill back onto her desk as her magic rolled the scroll up and wrapped it with a ribbon, sealing it with wax as she placed it into a drawer in her desk. She turned her head looking out the window to the setting sun.

"Let's just hope that day never comes Midnight." She spoke softly before blowing out the candle on her desk and heading to bed.
