Love has everything to do with it
Chapter 16: Chapter 16 "Luna's gift and finding an old friend."
Previous Chapter Next ChapterAfter leaving Ponyville for the day, Midnight had arrived back in Canterlot Castle via his teleportation magic. It was still mid day, and he still had some time left before he would officially become Luna's slave for an entire day. His mind was racing with what he had heard or been told, however vague it was, about what Luna had done to her previous victim.
As the day went on, he made many rounds through the castle to speak with guards, maids and butlers alike. Even speaking to his children about how the night princess had acted for the past five years and what had occurred in her presence. The stories were all but vague, some going into great detail, some funny, others sad, and one in particular that made the stallion feel for the princess of the night.
As time passed on however, Midnight was getting more and more worried about the events that was going to happen during the time he would be under Luna's hooves. He had worked himself into a fury of nervousness as his mind was being plagued with evil deeds or torture that Luna might subject him to. In fact, he was so preoccupied with his thoughts he hadn't realized that the hour was only a minute away before his worries would come to light.
The midnight hour came with the sounds of a gong being beaten to death next to Midnight causing him to shriek out in a panic and bolt under a large rug in the middle of the long hallway. The so called gong being nothing more than a grandfather clock that had just met the start of the first hour of the day for him. He managed to pull himself from under the rug giving a sigh as he glared at it.
"You scared the crap out of me! Stupid clock." He grumbled before turning to continue heading down the hallway.
"Really now?" Luna chuckled causing him to shriek out like a filly and turn completely white as he seized up on the spot, his eyes starring at his new master.
Luna gave a sinister grin before turning and walking away from him causing him to return to normal and breath once again. She stopped though a few paces away causing him to stop breathing once again as his ears trained onto her.
"From this moment forward, you shall call me mistress and do what I say without question. If you so much as hesitate or attempt to talk back to me in in way shape or form, you shall be punished." She continued walking before looking back and smiling evilly. "Severely!"
Midnight gave a whine for a moment before speaking and lowering his head. "Yes........... Mistress." He finished feeling defeated.
The two continued walking down the hall until they reached her quarters. Entering into her chambers he looked around to see that nothing had really changed since the last time he had been in there. Following closely behind her she paused at her desk, pulling out a small piece of parchment and giving it to Midnight.
"This is an enchanted parchment my dear. This will hold you to your word while being my slave for the day. It states the same thing that I had discussed earlier. Should you hesitate or disobey my orders, you will be punished. However, your punishment will not come until 12 am the following day." She grinned.
"I promised you twenty four hours. Nothing more. Nothing less Mistress." He stated with a cocked brow.
"You do realize that your letter stated that you would be my slave for a day correct?" She smiled.
"Yes, but what does that have to do with it?" He asked while cocking a brow.
"You failed to mention a day on what planet." She grinned evilly. "Mercury from your home worlds solar system has a complete revolution of 58 days and 15 hours, compared to Earth itself. Since you failed to mention this little thing in your gift, I could............" She grinned before seeing Midnight quickly signing the contract which then vanished in a puff of light.
"I'm sorry Mistress, please forgive me." He spoke out while bowing before her. Luna grinning like a bandit.
"You are forgiven." She said as he looked up only to see her grinning. "This time. But let it be known, any further disobeying will result in an automatic punishment and will be administered upon midnight tonight."
"Understood." Midnight sighed softly as he looked away.
"Oh come now, you shouldn't feel threatened. I would not make you do something that would go against your beliefs." She giggled softly seeing his ears perk up a little.
"Still though, I can't help but think that you are going to torment me." He groaned.
"Well, I do have a few things planned." She stated with a hint of song behind her voice.
"I know I am going to dread it already." Watching her move to a far corner of the room, nodding for the stallion to follow her.
Midnight watched as Luna disappeared behind a folding dress panel before reappearing with a smile while floating out several outfits. He cocked a brow as she walked over to him and placed the clothing in front of him before speaking.
"Now then, your first order is to transform yourself into my doppelganger and try these outfits on. I will need you to walk around so that I may see how they flow when I walk or move. Just to make sure that I look good while wearing them, without showing off anything that I am not supposed to."
"Wouldn't it be easier to just make a magical clone to have done this?" Midnight asked before a loud buzzer sounded off all around him, causing him to jump slightly.
"Oh, I'm so sorry my dear, that was your first strike, and a lot sooner than I anticipated as well." She giggled while rubbing her forehooves together evilly.
"Dammit." He grumbled before picking up the clothing and moving quickly behind the dress panels and doing what he was told.
After a few minutes of fiddling with the clothing and morphing his frame into an exact copy of Luna's, he stepped out from behind the panels in a frilly dress that, in his opinion, did not fit Luna's tastes at all.
It was similar to what Pinkie wore during the Grand Galloping Gala the first time except it had far more frills running in several layers toward the flank. While the top of it seemed to flow a little to high on the neck. The girdle that was made into the dress was quite confining as well as it squeezed the stallion turn mare around the waste, making his rear look quite a bit bigger than normal.
After coming out from behind the dress panels, Luna instructed him to spin around a few times, stopping at several points so that she could really look at the dress, even making him hover for a short time to see how it would handle against flight in case the need called for it.
"Alright, I don't think this dress will do. You may remove it and move on to the next one." She smiled happily as the make shift mare went back behind the panels to remove the outfit.
"Which one would you like me to try on next Luna?" He asked as she piped up.
"Just go from top to bottom in order please." She came back causing him to groan slightly as he pulled the next one from the pile.
Midnight stood there looking at the next outfit as the color drained from his face. It was nothing but a shiny faux leather outfit that looked as if it would be worn by a dominatrix. It even had a whip that attached to a belt around the waist. After a few seconds of starring at the outfit, Luna cleared her throat to garner his attention.
"I'm waiting." She spoke up.
"S-sorry, just having a little difficulty figuring out how to put this one on." He spoke up to try and give himself a moment.
As he was putting the new outfit on his brain worked overtime to come up with a way to get this torture to stop. A sinister grin spread across his face as he finished putting it on.
"Ok Lu-Lu, are you ready for this one?" He asked in a sultry voice?
Luna stood there in slight shock upon hearing her own voice speaking in such a manner. That however ended once she noticed a hoof slowly moving from behind the panels and run up along the edge of the frame. It was dressed in a shiny faux leather that shimmered in candle light of the room. Midnight pressed forward from the panels revealing Luna's form in a dominatrix outfit. He gave a smirk as he walked up and playfully trotted around the night princess who just stood stock still, staring at her own body that was trotting around in an outfit that she had forgotten to remove from the pile.
"Uh....... Midnight, you can remove that outfit now." She stated hesitantly causing him to stop.
"Oh but Lu-Lu, I can't stop now, If I did, it would be a direct violation of your orders to move around the room to show you how the outfit looks as you are walking and flying." He giggled to her as he moved slowly around her while sway his hips seductively. Luna's face burning red at watching what was going on.
He continued trotting around her for a minute before she piped up again. "Really Midnight, you can......."
"Oh but Lu-Lu, you haven't checked every spot to make sure that it fits properly, here, it feels kind of funny........" He paused as he trotted to in front of her placing his rear toward her face, leaning down onto his forehooves and then hiking his tail up as high as he could. "HERE!" He shouted as he looked back, giving a seductive lip bite and bedroom eyes only to see her eyes go wide before her face burned a hundred shades of red. To add insult to injury though, and to tip the scales, he gave a little flank wiggle while speaking.
"OOoooooh Luuuuuuna............. Such a naughty pony you are." He giggled playfully before seizing up as a bolt of lightning hit him.
Midnight now lay on the floor, smoking and twitching from the lightning bolt that had just raped him. Luna giving several huffs as she glared at him.
"I think that is enough of playing dress up!" She shouted as she turned, heading toward the door. "You will meet me in the throne room in ten minutes. Do NOT be late." She glared as she left the room in haste.
After pulling himself together, Midnight removed the outfit giving a chuckle. "I do believe that I am going to screw with the princess for the time she has me under her control." He chuckled as he turned back into his normal form.

As his time limit came near, the dark Alicorn let it dwindle down to almost an entire second before his ten minutes were up before appearing in a flash of light within the throne room, startling the night princess among other ponies that were part of the Elite Night Guard.
"I'm here, so what torture do you have planned for me now?" Midnight sighed as he trotted up her.
"Oh nothing special." She grinned mischievously as three of her guards stepped up. Each with cat like eyes that were as gold as a mid-summers night moon. Two having a set of bat like drake wings while the third was a unicorn.
"Doesn't look like something special." He snickered causing the three guards to snort in annoyance.
"I have a special task for you my dear. My three best guards have been having a time in finding an opponent that they could go hoof to hoof with on equal grounds. Nopony has been able to stand up to them at all when it comes to agility or magical prowess. I want you to fight them as an equal, here, in the throne room. While I watch of course." She grinned.
"Very well, what will I need to do? Just fight them in equal strength?" He asked.
"You may pick any race of pony other than Alicorn, if you choose a unicorn, your magic should be restricted to that of half of Twilight Sparkles current power. As a pegasus, your speed should be that of three quarters of Rainbow Dash's. You will also have only thirty spells that you may choose from as a unicorn, and only your cloud walking ability as a pegasus. As for your ability to fight and strategize, you may use your full knowledge in that area." She grinned seeing Midnight look a little shocked for a moment.
"One on one I am guessing?" He spoke up seeing the three ponies chuckle.
"Yea, at first. Then you've got to go up against all three of us." The unicorn spoke out in a raspy voice while grinning evilly.
"Heh, sounds good to me." Midnight chuckled as his horn glowed brightly, changing his form to that of a pegasus. "When do we beg..." *WHACK* He didn't get to finish as one of the pegasi plowed into him before bucking him backwards into the wall and doing a flip backwards landing in the middle of the throne room.
They all starred at Midnight's slumped form now laying on the floor for a second before the pegasi who had knocked him out spoke up.
"Guess he was just another easy big mouth." He hissed happily before he noticed the form flicker slightly. "What the?" *WHACK* Was all the he managed to get out before a he was sent flying backwards into the unicorn guard who quickly raised a shield around himself before the pony bounced off of it and into the wall adjacent to him.
"MIDNIGHT! I stated that you were to only use three quarters of Rainbow Dash's speed. How dare you disobey me!" Luna shouted causing the room to shake.
"I am using three quarters of her speed love. But you also failed to mention whether or not she was being aided by magic, or when I was combined with her as a set of armor." He grinned causing her to face hoof.
"I am sorry my guard. You will have to fight him like he is, unless you forfeit the battle." She sighed.
"The night guard never forfeits a match!" The unicorn shouted as his horn lit up sending a bolt of magic toward the now advancing Midnight in pegasus form. It hit him causing him to move in slow motion for a few seconds. The unicorn smiling as he trotted up to Midnight who was moving at a snails pace.
"Say goodnight punk." He grinned but stopped as Midnight's head snapped to meet his gaze.
"Goodnight!" *CRACK* Midnight watched as the unicorn was sent flying backwards from a quick headbutt directly to his nose. The unicorn now laying at Luna's hooves out cold while the third and final night guard glared daggers at Midnight.
"Alright pretty boy, let's dance." He grinned as he pulled a small vial of liquid from his chest plate and drank it quickly. Luna gawking slightly at the guard before grinning evilly at Midnight.
"I do believe you are in for it now Midnight." Luna giggled.
Midnight stood there as he watched the night guard grin before a slightly glow encased his frame before he vanished from sight. Midnight blinked a couple of times, looking around the room and swiveling his ears to try and find a sound, a movement, anything that would alert him to the presence of the final night guard.
*BAM*
Midnight found himself airborne along with a terrible pain in his stomach as he was bucked upwards into the ceiling. As soon as he hit the ceiling of the throne room he felt hooves wrap around his mid section, holding his wings to his sides so that he couldn't flee or maneuver. Then his world turned upside down as the floor came quickly toward him.
'There is no way this guard is stupid enough to ram me into the ground while still holding onto me like he is. Once he lets go I'll counter his move.' He thought but stopped as the ground met his skull along with the hooves around his waist slipping free just after the impact.
That dark Alicorn pulled himself to his hooves, swaying heavily as he looked around through double vision caused by the impact.
"How in the........ hell........?" He didn't finish as a pair of hooves met his stomach once again, sending him into the air and into the ceiling for a second time. The hooves wrapping around his mid section once again as he found himself plummeting toward the floor.
"Oh no you don't, fool me once." He grinned as he twisted his body so that his hooves were pointing toward the ground. "Shame on you." He laughed as his hooves hit the floor, his entire body locking up and causing the wind to be knocked from the guard as he hit Midnight's backside. "Fool me twice." He grinned feeling the grip loosen before bucking him forward and onto the floor in front of him. "Shame on....... me?!" He began to finish but paused in shock as he watched the guard fall through the floor into the shadow that lay across it.
Before the guard could fully fall into the shadow, Midnight jumped into the air and began to hover just as a set of hooves flew out from the spot he was standing over. The Alicorn didn't pause as he reached down and grabbed the hooves and pulled the guard from the shadow and began to swing him around quickly before releasing him, heading toward one of the far walls.
The guard grinned as he opened his wings and flapped one hard time heading toward the shadow covered wall. Just as he was about to hit the shadow and meld through it however, he saw Midnight appear just off of his path, with a small lantern that was now illuminating light onto the now previously shadow covered wall.
*WHAM*
The night guard was now sprawled out like a rug onto the wall, all four hooves and wings outstretched fully. He gave a low groan as he slowly slid down the wall and onto the floor.
"That............ was a dirty............ trick............." *thud* Was the last words the guard said before he fell into unconsciousness.
As Midnight turned, heading back toward the princess, he gave a smirk as his original form returned. "So Luna, got anymore requests?" He asked, giving a chuckle upon seeing Luna so annoyed.
"Considering you have only spent the better part of three hours into your present to me. I believe I have a few more things we can do." She chuckled.

A short time passed as the two ponies had made their way toward her chambers. Upon entering she instructed the dark Alicorn to have a seat and wait as she went to get something. After a couple of minutes she came back with a remote in her magical grasp, smiling toward him.
"Uh.......... what's with the remote?" He then trailed off for a moment as he got a good look at the remote. "Wait, I thought this world didn't have the same technology as my world." He spoke out just as she pressed one of the buttons on the remote. A loud click was heard as the floor in front of the two Alicorns split open and slide apart for a few seconds before a large entertainment center began to rise from under the floor. Midnight sat there, wide eyed and gawking as an eighty inch flat screen tv along with a nice surround sound speaker system at its sides finally came up and stopped. Under the tv were several gaming systems. Setting on top of the tv were a Kinect and a couple cameras that would attach to each gaming system.
A few seconds passed by as Luna grabbed an xbox controller and pressed the center button with her magic before turning on the tv. Another few seconds passed as the dashboard came up onto the screen showing that Call of Duty Black Ops 2 was in the system and ready to be played. Pressing the start button on the controller, Luna had started the game just before floating over a second controller to Midnight.
"How did you get all of this?" Midnight gawked as he looked at the massive amount of human technology sitting before him.
"Well, it's a long story." She trailed off as the game began to boot.
"No, seriously." He began. "How did you get this technology? I have tried to prevent anything major from being brought into this world since I came to call this place home. But that was because I didn't want the ponies of this world to become dependent on what my world had to offer and end up in the same boat. Please, if you would grant me just one thing, please tell me how you got this."
Luna looked away slightly for a moment as she seemed to be deep in thought. Turning back to Midnight she had a slightly concerned expression as she spoke. "Night............ some of your worlds technology has been appearing throughout this world at random over the past three years. We are not sure how or why it has been appearing like it has, but it has been getting more and more frequent as time has passed." She stopped as the start menu came up and she began to set up a zombie match between the two of them.
"And everypony thought it was wise to hide this information from me because?" He spoke out with a hint of ice behind his voice.
"We, didn't think it was such a big deal. Most of the technology that has appeared has been next to nothing in comparison to what I have accumulated here. We have had some instances where some of the technology has been acquired by many different ponies and used by accident without knowing what they were." She paused seeing Midnight's angry expression.
"I take it that you are speaking of firearms since you seem to know what this game is about." He stated while nodding to the screen that had two players on it with guns.
"Yes.............. but any weapons that have found their way into this world have all been confiscated and place within the royal vault. Among other items." She hesitated for a moment under Midnight's gaze.
"Luna, I'm not going to say that I am angry that you, as well as every other pony that has kept this information from me. But once this day is over with, I am going to find out why my worlds technology is being sent here at random, as you stated. And I will stop it. But before that event comes to pass, I take it that you need some help in this game?" He asked while raising a brow toward her only to see her grin.
"I must admit, this zombie event in this game is quite challenging. I have had several members in my group before but they have all been children with very foul mouths." She giggled but stopped as she noticed Midnight's expression of shock.
"What do you mean other members of your group?" He asked.
"Uh.......... well, it seems as if this device can allow other ponies who are playing this game to be members of my group." She smiled nervously.
"That isn't possible! This device connects to a server within a huge company on my home world which is also connected to any and every gaming console just like this in my world. Unless there is somepony in this world that knows how to alter, or already has altered this technology to allow any others who have one of these consoles to connect to each other over the expanse of acres to thousands of miles. The I highly doubt................" He trailed off for a moment as he grabbed Luna's controller and exited out of the game.
"Hey! We were playing that! What are you doing?" She shouted as she huffed toward Midnight.
"I need to check something." He stated as he pulled up the friends list screen and began to slowly type in the gamer tag of a good friend he had back on earth before pressing enter to send a friends request. A few seconds passed by before a notification popped up showing that the person had accepted the request and sent a response.
I'm not sure who this is, but by your name it should be a chick. The message read.
"That sounds like something one of my old buddies would say." Midnight chuckled.
Midnight reached for the headset and pulled it onto his head, lowering the mic as he began to speak into it before sending a message. "Hey Jake, been a long time. I'm on a friends console. How have you been bro?" He chuckled before sending the message.
"Midnight? What are you doing?" Luna asked as she looked between the screen and the Alicorn at her side.
"I'm talking to an old friend." Midnight smiled as tears threatened to leave his eyes. Luna giving a soft smile before laying down at his side as she listened to the conversation.
Another message notification popped up asking for Midnight to go into a group chat. Midnight being a little hesitant before accepting the chat invite only to see his friend as the only person within it.
"Charlie? Dude is that really you?!" The voice spoke out from the tv in a slightly shocked tone.
"The one and only." Midnight chuckled back.
"Duuuuude, I haven't heard from you in like, almost forty years. I thought you died back when your house up and disappeared off of the face of the planet." He spoke out in almost broken words upon hearing his friend for the first time in over a decade.
"Forty years? Bro, I've been gone for almost seven years. What are you talking about?" Midnight asked in somewhat of a shock.
"Bro, the year is 2055 here, did you vanish into the twilight zone or something? You don't even sound like you've aged a bit. You got a kinect with that system you're playing?"
Midnight sat there is somewhat of a shock for the moment before he responded.
"I do, but I need to tell you something bro. I haven't aged at all, so don't be shocked when you see me." He stated before hearing a loud laugh coming from the tv.
"Shutup and open the video chat ya dick." He laughed only to get a chuckle from Midnight.
"Did he just call you a............. well..........." Luna asked in surprise.
"Wow, did I just hear a lady?" The voice came back onto the tv.
"Yea............. she's a good friend." Midnight responded giving Luna a smile.
"Suuuuuuure she is, so that's why your handle is MoonGoddess. Guess that means you've been pressing buttons other than what's on the hand controller then huh?" He chuckled.
"What does he mean by other buttons Midnight?" Luna asked only to hear a deafening pause.
"Yer kidding right doll?" The voice from the tv came back.
"I'll explain later Luna. For the moment however, do you care if I continue the conversation in my......" He paused as he pulled the headset from his head and put it at a distance before finishing. "Human form? I will be on video chat and I don't want him to freak out upon seeing a talking pony on the other end."
Luna gave a nod, watching as Midnight turned back into his human form and replaced the headset before opening the video chat. It took a few moment but the picture of an older man appeared on the screen. His expression turning to complete shock upon seeing Charlie.
"What the hell?! Seriously bro, you haven't aged in all these years? You have to be joking?! Plus I heard you disappeared with your house all those years back. What the hell happened?" Jake shouted upon seeing his friend for the first time in a long time.
"Well, you honestly wouldn't believe me if I told you." Charles chuckled.
"Dude, try me. This planet hasn't seen nothing but weird for the past thirty years." He snapped back causing Charles to give a skeptical look.
"Well, before we get any further, I want to tell you that I'm no longer on earth." Charles spoke out only to see that his friends expression hadn't changed. "Doesn't that come as a surprise?"
"Charlie, I have never known you to be a joker. You've always been a smartass, but never a joker, and compared to all the shit that has happened in the past thirty years, I honestly believe you." He retorted causing Charles to cock a brow.
"Explain." He asked, hearing his friend sigh.
"Dude, if you truly aren't on earth anymore, be thankful. The disappearance of humans had begun getting bad after you vanished. At first it was a few people here and there, then it got worse. A few children vanished, then a a small business here and there. The last thing to vanish was half of a college somewhere in Ohio. There were three buildings and around two hundred college kids and a handful of professors that vanished. Everything went quiet for about five years after. Until a major event took place." He paused for a minute to rub the bridge of his nose.
"What happened?" Charles asked as he move slightly closer to the screen in anticipation.
"Well........... there was an incident that HOLY HELL WHAT IS THAT?!" His friend shouted as he jumped back and over the couch he was sitting on while staring at the screen.
Charles jumped as well at the sudden outburst and looked around him only to see Luna sitting at his side with wide eyes from the outburst as well.
"LUNA!" Charles shouted causing her to shriek out in surprise. "I though I said I didn't want to freak him out!"
"You never said I couldn't be here as well?!" She shouted back.
"Holy crap dude........................" Jake spoke out as he looked over the top of the couch toward the tv in front of him. "Is............ Is that................. Princess Luna?" He asked as he climbed back onto the couch, staring at the screen.
"Yes, I am Princess Luna............ How do you know me?" She asked while Charles just starred in awe for the moment.
"Princess Luna, Please forgive my language earlier, it's an honor to meet you." He smiled giving a slight bow. "How I know you is something of an odd tale. But to be blunt, I know you from a television show here on my world that used to be aired some time ago. It was called My little pony: Friendship is magic." He paused seeing her confused face.
"Say what?" Charles asked in an unamused tone.
"Yea bro, you remember when I told you about my daughter getting hooked on a cartoon show and then got me hooked on it as well?" He chuckled.
"Yea, and that was a cartoon about Luna?" He asked in slight awe.
"No, not just her, but a bunch of ponies. Man you really are there aren't you? I am so fucking stoked! And jealous! Dude I would give anything to meet Applejack or Rarity." He laughed but stopped as he noticed their shocked faces.
"Uh, Jake. I really don't know how to tell you this, so I'm going to be blunt." He began. "AJ, Rarity, Twilight, And Celestia are to be my brides in a few months." Charles stated causing his friend to chuckle before laughing his ass off then coming to a dead stop.
"You are so full of it dude." He laughed for a second before seeing the serious expression on Charles' face. "Seriously? I know you talked about polygamy before, but a human marrying four mares? You have got to be................ Wait! You aren't telling me the whole story. Something else happened didn't it?"
"Uh........... yea........... I got turned into a pony as well." He hesitated for a moment.
"Show me." He stated flatly causing Charles to sigh before a glow surrounded his body, his Alicorn form slowly being revealed. "You have got to be kidding me!" He shouted as he got closer to the tv, starring at the dark Alicorn. "How did you become an Alicorn?"
"I think you should blame Twilight Sparkle on that subject." Luna giggled only to get a groan out of Midnight.
"Seriously? I know that little unicorn has some powerful magic, and even gets turned into an Alicorn later in season three of the tv show. But seriously?! She turned you into an Alicorn? HOW?!" He shouted in shock.
"Wait, what did you just say?" Midnight asked in surprise.
"What? About Twilight being turned into an Alicorn during the end of season three? Yea, it happens. The princess' make her one. Why? Isn't she one there already?" He asked in surprise.
"No............ Luna? Care to divulge any information regarding this particular event that I was not notified about?" Midnight asked with a glare seeing her cower slightly.
"I am sorry Midnight, that information has been kept classified to royalty only, and since you have yet to marry my sister, you were not supposed to know about it." She stated while glaring at the human on the screen.
"Sorry, I didn't know." He squeaked.
"That information can come at a later time, for now though. I want to know what has been going on on earth. You said strange things have been going on?" Midnight asked.
"Yea, ever since you disappeared, a shit ton of stuff has happened. Right now we are fighting off an alien race that has been trying to take over the planet. The war has been going on for almost twenty years now. I'm currently in a bunker in the middle of nowhere running off of solar energy cells. To be honest, when I saw that I had a friends request on my xbox, it shocked the hell out of me." He laughed.
"Why?"
"Because the internet has been shut down for five years man. The aliens have been hacking government facilities and turning our weapons against us. In the last few years before it was shut down, they wiped out most of the large military bases that had nukes in them. They even managed to hack drones and kill off quite a bit of the human population. To see a friends request pop up on my screen made me think I was finally going mad. When I heard your voice and saw the weird looking gamer tag, I almost cracked. I'm still thinking that this is all a dream." He chuckled.
"Well it isn't, it's good to see you again bro. Can you tell me anything else about whats going on?" Midnight asked.
"Well, not much really. I've been by myself for around ten years in this home made bunker in the middle of BFE. My wife was killed in an alien attack, and my daughter.................... A group of bandits attacked.......... She was killed in the process.
"I'm sorry..........." Midnight said as he lowered his head a little.
"Don't be bro. I miss her a lot, but I know she is in a better place now, away from the cruelty of this world." He smiled but stopped as a loud rattling could be heard causing the lights within the room to flicker.
"Shit! What the hell was that?" Jake shouted as some dust fell from the ceiling to in front of him. He slowly turned to the tv gawking for a moment. "No way............ There is no way those alien fuckers..............." He paused as another rumble escaped from all around him.
"Jake? Whats going on man?" Midnight asked as he watched in horror.
"Those alien fuckers tracked this internet signal from a single xbox? You have got to be kidding me........." The screen went snowy for several seconds causing Midnight and Luna to look on in awe. They gasped however as an alien figure suddenly appeared on the screen.
"So this is what that signal was going to. Interesting to see another sentient species being able to communicate with the human menace. Don't worry though, we will be visiting your planet as soon as............" Before the alien could finish, Midnight used his magic to crush the xbox before quickly tossing it into a magical void he had quickly opened.
"MY GAME!?" Luna shouted in shock before glaring at the dark Alicorn. "WHY?!" She shouted while pouting a lip.
"Luna........... this is no time to be angry." He stated in a calm voice.
"And why not?! You just destroyed my game?!" She huffed angrily.
"Because if what we just saw was true............ then this world............. this universe may be seeing some new visitors in a short while. I can only hope that I destroyed that console fast enough so they couldn't trace the signal." He sighed looking to the now in shock night princess.
