Chapter 7 Wolf-Spider No More......

Midnight just sits there in his hospital bed….watching news. He gets really worried about the disappearance of his friend, Rainbow Dash. But what can he do? He’s in the hospital with no wings and no costume….he can’t do anything. The news also tells that somepony broke into Zecora’s house and stole a few potions. Nopony knows what were in those potions. The Condor and Mr.Earthquake are still out there and he can’t do a thing about it. All he can do is wait until his wounds heal. He felt so depressed and guilty….he can’t save anypony anymore….What is he gonna do?....So...all he can do now is just sing and let his emotions flow with some tears in his eyes.

"I walk a lonely road, the only one that I have ever known. Don't know where it goes, but it's home to me and I walk alone. I walk this empty street on the boulevard of broken dreams. Where the city sleeps and I'm the only one and I walk alone. I walk alone, I walk alone.....I walk alone, I walk a-. My shadow's the only one that walks beside me. My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating. Sometimes I wish somepony out there will find me. 'Til then, I walk alooooooone.

Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, aaah-ah. Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah. I'm walking down the line that divides me somewhere in my mind. On the border line of the edge and where I walk alone. Read between the lines, what's messed up when everything's alright. Check my vital signs to know I'm still alive and I walk alone. I walk alone, I walk alone.....I walk alone, I walk a-. My shadow's the only one that walks beside me. My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating. Sometimes I wish somepony out there will find me. 'Til then, I walk aloooooooone.

Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, aaah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah. I walk alone, I walk a-....................I walk this empty street on the boulevard of broken dreams. Where the city sleeps and I'm the only one and I walk a-. My shadow's the only one that walks beside me. My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating. Sometimes I wish somepony out there will find me. 'Til then, I walk aloooooooone".

When Midnight finished, he just sighed in depression…..praying that things will turn out better than the worst. He changes the channel to the music channel. He finds a band called “Linkin Park” and the music video playing was called “Battle Symphony”. So, Midnight decides to watch and listen to the song. He’s got nothing else better to do. But as he watches and listens, he starts to feel something..like, he shouldn’t give up.

“I got a long way to go and a long memory. I’ve been searching for an answer always just out of reach. Blood on the floor, sirens repeat. I’ve been searching for the courage to face my enemy. When they turn down the lights……

I hear my Battle Symphony. All of the world in front of me. If my armor breaks, I’ll fuse it back together. Battle Symphony. Please, just don’t give up on me and my eyes are wide awaaaaaaaake! For my Battle Symphonyyyyyyyy. For my Battle Symphonyyyyyyy.

They say that I don’t belong. Say that I should retreat. That I’m marching to the rhythm of long lonesome defeat. But the sound of your voice puts the pain in reverse. No surrender. No illusions. And for better or worse. When they turn down the lights…..

I hear my Battle Symphony. All of the world in front of me. If my armor breaks, I’ll fuse it back together. Battle Symphony. Please, just don’t give up on me and my eyes are wide awaaaaaaaake!

If I fall, get knocked down. Pick myself up off the ground. If I fall get knocked down. Pick myself up off the ground. When they turn down the lights…..

I hear my Battle Symphony. All of the world in front of me. If my armor breaks, I’ll fuse it back together. Battle Symphony. Please, just don’t give up on me and my eyes are wide awaaaaaaaake! For my Battle Symphonyyyyyyyy. For my Battle Symphonyyyyyyy.”

When the song was over, Midnight felt light-headed and heard the words “With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility” in his head for a second. Like, something changed inside him…..he knew he changed when he threw away that costume. He can’t give up yet. Not while those crooks are still on the loose and Rainbow Dash still missing. He needs to get out of there. Then all of a sudden, the news popped up saying that Princess Twilight Sparkle has gone missing. That gives him the true motivation to get out of there. But he needs to find a way out. He looks around...see the box that Midnight left in his costume that has the ring inside. He grabs the box by using his webbing and uses all of his strength to get out of the hospital bed. It was a painful process but he did it. He saw the window and jumped out and headed to the Everfree Forest. He needs to get back up to strength if he’s gonna find Twilight and Rainbow Dash.

When one of the nurses entered Midnight’s room, she was shocked that he wasn’t there. So, he alerts the whole hospital that Midnight went missing. The whole town put up signs of Midnight’s disappearance and the whole town goes into a complete panic. Without any heroes for princesses in watch of the town, chaos will spread. Midnight better not be gone for very long. He needs to be prepared to finish this. While he made it to the Everfree Forest, one of his eyes turned purple and menacing once more and changes back to normal the next second. He felt a pain in his chest but he’s not gonna let a little pain stop him from getting prepared and doing what’s right. He just has to deal with the pain.
