Midnight looked out the window in the door. The bulk of the ponies had left the party, and now only Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Twilight were still partying. She watched as Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie said their goodbyes, and exited through the front door.
"Goodbye everyone, have a nice evening!" Twilight said with a smile.
Suddenly, Midnight's had a roaring headache, and it felt like a million knives were jabbed into her mind. About 5 seconds later, it was gone, but she was hearing a voice. Not her own voice, a... stallion's? She was scared, and tried to think of other things, but the voice wouldn't go away. She started to see images, of the streets of Ponyville, dimly lit homes, lifeless street lights.
"The Toxicon Queen..."
It echoed in her head.
"Midnight are you okay?!"
Twilight was by her side, and she somehow ended up on the ground.
"What happened?" Asked Midnight shakily.
Twilight responded with worry in her voice.
"I heard a loud thump come from in here, I rushed in to see what was wrong and saw you lying on the ground, and your eyes were completely green, and your horn was dimly glowing! It was sort of scary."
Midnight thought back to what she saw. Why had she seen what she had seen? Why had she heard a voice? What was it all about? She also started to think about what she might have looked like, lying on the ground, not moving, eyes green.
"Okay, well, I'm fine now. I guess."
Twilight didn't budge.
"This has never happened before. To any unicorn I know. So why on earth would it happen to you? Did you see anything? Hear anything? Feel anything?"
Midnight nodded.
"Yes, I heard a stallion's voice. At least, I think it was a stallion. Then, I saw images of Ponyville. I guess it must have been around the same time it is now, if not exactly. And, do you know what a Toxicon is?"
Twilight looked like she was thinking hard. She raced into the library, and came back with a book. She flipped through the pages and stopped at one page, entitled "Toxicons". She began to read the description aloud.
"Toxicons are generally known as 'Mutant Ponies' because they have almost the same body shape as ponies, except different features. They always have dark, ugly green manes and tails, and have what appears to be acid on their legs. The acid can destroy anything, if the Toxicon wants to use it. When angry, the acid turns a deep shade of red, and it is hot like fire. In a 'Swarm' of Toxicons, there is always a queen. Like bees, the queen controls everything, and makes all of the laws. A swarm of Toxicons normally live in the sewers. Long ago, a mighty swarm of Toxicons rose up from the sewers and attacked Equestria. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna banished them with mighty magic, forbidding them from ever returning. It was also said that Toxicons were once ponies that became mutated by science experiments."
"Hm, so that's what a Toxicon is. Should we write a letter to Princess Luna about our findings and what has happened?"
Twilight nodded.
"Spike, write what Midnight says down."
"On it!" He replied.
Midnight began to speak.
"Dear Princess Luna, An unexplainable phenomenon has just occurred. I heard a stallion's voice, and saw images of Ponyville around this time. I also heard the words "The Toxicon Queen". Any idea what this is? Sincerely, Midnight Star."
Spike breathed fire on the scroll and it was gone.
"Now, we wait for a reply."
Gavier walked through the streets of Ponyville. His legs were taking him to a Tree home just ahead. He knocked on the door, for an unknown reason, and accidentally burned a hole in it. A baby dragon came and opened the door. A cry tore from his lips.
"AAAAAH!!! TWILIGHT!!!!"
A lavender unicorn teleported in front of the dragon, horn glowing. Another voice came from behind her. It was a blue unicorn, with a purple mane. Her horn was glowing too, but it was pointed at the lavender unicorn.
"Midnight, what are you doing!" Said the lavender unicorn angrily.
"Stopping you Twilight! I think this is a Toxicon! He could be of use to us!"
Gavier looked at the two, then collapsed at the front step. He heard screams and magic, then felt like he had just been teleported somewhere else. He got the strength to open his eyes and saw he was on a bed, and Midnight had locked the door so that that Twilight could not get in.
"Midnight, I am going to count to three, and you are going to open this door!"
"No Twilight, please, just trust me!" Pleaded Midnight.
Twilight sighed in defeat.
"Fine! But if it tries anything, you'll be in for it, and it will be gone within 10 seconds flat!"
Gavier heard the sound of hooves going up stairs. He looked at the unicorn, she was beautiful. Her mane was a wonderful shade of purple, and her coat was a soft yet elegant blue. Her eyes were magenta, and her gaze was soft. She looked over at him, Almost saying "You got lucky!" She magically pulled a blanket out of the closet along with a pillow, and curled up on the ground. Gavier was tired too, and he closed his eyes, falling asleep.
