Also, I forgot to mention that Dawning Vision, Bass Note and Midnight Storm belongs to me. And now, onto the story. READ CAREFULLY!
Midnight Storm was flying over Ponyville as he saw the marvelous town from above. It seems the foals from Elementary School had just gotten out of class. He smiled at this sight as it reminded him of his childhood. Full of innocence, youth and unlimited potential. Midnight did not have much of a childhood to begin with, but he did feel what it was like to be a kid. He remembered his time as a foal and wouldn't forget it. That's one of the reasons why he needs to get rid of Mare Season. When those kids grow up, they will go through puberty and will have to live through Mare Season. Heartbreak, lust and the breaking of innocence and youth. He did not want this, and he was determined to put an end to it.
Along the way to his home to get ready to find his partners, he saw that one of his friends was going into a weapon's shop. Midnight rolled his eyes as he flew down and landed on his hooves. He entered the shop to see the entire shop was filled with cleavers, longswords, broadswords, spears, sheaths and other weaponry and equipment. This was the perfect place for his dear friend, Straight Edge. This strange stallion had a love for weaponry and was athletic. Seems fit for an Earth Pony. Midnight looked at the counter to see his friend. The familiar sight of his long dark red mane, his dark orange tail, his sword cutiemark and his deep eyes, the eyes of a warrior to be exact. Straight Edge looked over at Midnight and grew a cocky smile. He pulled at a dagger and placed it in his mouth as he ran towards Midnight. Midnight sighed and jumped up as Edge hit his face against the wall.
"Ouch! That hurt!" Edge said as he got up after he recovered.
"You really need to stop trying to catch me when we see each other." Midnight said seriously.
"Pegasi are so fast! I want to imitate that speed and become a greater warrior! I have natural strength as an Earth Pony, but you Pegasi got the speed and the Unicorns hide behind with their magic! All three are powerful in their own ways, and I want to become strong in each one! That is the goal of any true warrior!" Edge said as he roared with confidence.
"A. You don't have a horn, so you can't DO magic. B. Earth Ponies are naturally larger than Pegasi, as us Pegasi are about the weight of a feather. You can't replicate our speed because of the weight proportions." Midnight explained.
Edge started to grow fake tears. "You calling me fat?" He asked faking emotion.
"...Edge. I got a task for you." Midnight said, ignoring what had just happened.
Straight Edge looked at him seriously now. "Yes Midnight?"
"I have recently made a bet with the Princess. You know how much I hate the Mare Season. You know from our horrible experiences with it that I hate lust with an utter passion. Sex should only come from love for another person, not from the feeling of lust. You know about my invention, the Heat Bracelet so you should already get what I am going with this." Midnight explained.
"Yeah I think I do. You're saying that you want me to wear one and try to not have sex for the month right? It's an easy task outside of Mare Season for sure, but during? That's a hard task for sure." Edge explained back.
"But I know you Straight Edge. You don't shy away from any challenge." Midnight smiled.
"...You're right. I'm not shying away. I'll join your team, but you better know what you're doing." Edge said as he placed his hoof out.
"I sure hope I do too." Midnight said as he reached into his pouch bag and then placed one of the bracelet on Edge's hoof. "I need to get going now, I should get the rest of the team. Report to my home in 0800." Midnight said.
"Got'cha Midnight." Edge said as he went back to looking at the weapons.
Midnight looked at Edge for a second and then he walked out of the store. He then jumped up and flapped his wings as he departed back to his home.
In the meadows outside of Ponyville...
Midnight flew over the meadows, marveling at the sight of the beautiful flowers and other assortments of beauty. This land was full of beauty and riches, he really did love Equestria. Midnight soon felt a pinch in his head and then started to scream in pain. Midnight's eyes turned white as he had a vision.
Midnight's Vision
The meadows of Equestria were on fire and stallions were running throughout the land yelling and screaming as mares were chasing them. Midnight looked up as he saw the sun was in a nova and the whole area was dark. He looked to the left of him and saw Celestia, but she was different. Her body was now the same as Nightmare Moon's and her mane was on fire, red and white flames flowing back as she looked down at the land, laughing. Midnight's eyes widened at the sight as the flashback was starting to end. The whole vision came back to him extremely fast as he was kicked out of his vision.
Reality...
Midnight's eyes regained color as he lost consciousness. He fell down from the sky and landed on the ground. He was knocked out from having the vision that just took place. What did this vision mean? Was it real? Fantasy? Or is it...the future?
Not too far away from Midnight was his house. It was a large mansion-like house that was around 5-6 stories high. Midnight was born into a family of famous inventers, so the families inventions funded Midnight's journey. Midnight's family was wealthy, but now most of them are dead. Some died assassinated as their inventions were going to make certain businesses hard to do their own jobs, so they hired assassins to kill of Midnight's family, some died from old age and some went missing. Midnight and his mother and father were the only ones known to still be alive, so Midnight's Dad and Mom went off around the world to sell their inventions while Midnight stayed in Equestria, continuing to make inventions for the family to keep the business alive.
Thankfully, for Midnight, his assistant was still around the house. The Unicorn stallion stepped out of the house to see that Midnight was laying down, unconscious. The stallion quickly ran up to Midnight and lifted the light Pegasus up with his magic and ran into the house, using his magic to bring a couch over as he rested Midnight onto the couch in the best position he could. This stallion was named Flutter Night, he was the son of one of Midnight's Dad's partners and thus was honored to become the assistant of Midnight. They had a strange relationship, though Night was his assistant, they got along like brothers and had the best of times. The white unicorn was trying to figure out what had happened to Midnight. His blue and white Mohawk-like mane was starting to go down from the amount of sweat that he was producing.
Midnight started to regain conscious as he saw the blue eyes of Night. He smiled in comfort as he realized that his assistant had found him and not somepony else. Midnight looked down and saw the black moon cutiemark of Night, yes, it was him. Midnight tried to sit up but Night pushed him back down onto his back lightly.
"No sir, you just lost conscious, you think I'm going to let you do that again, you're sadly mistaken." Night said firmly.
"Thank you Night, but I lost conscious because I had another vision." Midnight explained.
"Again!? What happened?" Night asked.
"Well...something I don't want to share. It was scary I can tell you that much." Midnight said seriously.
"It must've been to have had that effect on you. Last time you were dizzy, but you fainted this time. Midnight, these visions are getting worse, if you keep having them, then you won't last a week in Mare Season. You'll be gobbled up by those lust-driven mares and be milked dry of cum." Night explained.
"I don't know why I'm having them. But I'm pretty sure they'll stop eventually." Midnight said brushing it off like it was nothing.
"Just be careful dude." Night said.
"Of course, I'm not stupid." Midnight said in response.
"I know. But still, don't rush into things. So did you make the bet with Celestia yet?" Night asked.
"Yeah, I did toda-" Midnight was saying as Night slapped him. "Ow! What was that for!?"
"I told you not to rush into things. We still have a week until the things starts, what if Celestia sends guards or even THE MANE SIX to come get us!?
"Oh yeah...I guessed I did rush into things...Good thing this house is uncharted. Nopony but me, you, my family and a few friends even know this house exists. That's good considering that assassin's tried to kill my family. And hey! I even almost got lost on the way here, and I've lived here all my life. So, I'm sure we're safe here." Midnight reassured Night.
"Thankfully that is true. But still, you need to be more careful. As your assistant, it is my job to protect the family's assets by protecting you. And as your best friend, that task is even higher on my priorities. That's why I want to wear a heat detector, to protect you." Night told Midnight.
"You know, you're the first one to ask to become one of the Eight Stallions. I had to ask the other three." Midnight said.
"Other three? Who have you asked?" Night asked.
"Straight Edge, Bass Note and Dawning Vision." Midnight answered.
"STRAIGHT EDGE!? ARE YOU INSANE!? HE TRIED TO CUT OFF MY HORN BEFORE!" Night yelled, holding his horn.
"Night, he was messing with you." Midnight said with a straight expression.
"I don't like those kinds of jokes Midnight, they're not funny." Night responded.
"So, we have Flutter Night, Dawning Vision, Bass Note and Straight Edge. Do you think I should ask Rose Thorn?" Midnight asked.
"Thorn? Are you sure? He's not the most...helpful...when it comes to these things. Plus, when the news of this bet reaches the public, they will want to know who we are. And you remember his rule about you involving him into stuff? He doesn't want anyone to know he's a Darkbringer." Night explained.
"Yeah, I know. Still, couldn't hurt to try." Midnight said.
"Sure, go ahead. I like the guy, he's a cool guy. It'd be nice to see him on the team." Night said.
"Okay then, off I am to find Thorn." Midnight said, getting up and walking towards the door.
"Good luck." Night said with a reassuring smile.
"Thanks man." Midnight responded as he closed the door and flew off.
