//------------------------------// // Eclipsed // Story: The Eclipsing Midnight // by Miracle //------------------------------// "You're hearing things." "B-But--I could've sworn I hea--" The stoned reply was cut short by Midnight, as she interrupted her. "Look, you're obviously tired from all that partying you've been doing... I could offer you a ride home, if you want." It was unclear to what she was doing, herself, lost in her own thoughts. Seconds after scratching her head with a hoof in decision, she carelessly nodded in agreement to her offer, completely ignoring the stranger danger rule. "Sure, I guess... Where's your carriage?" "Are you blind? You're standing right in front of it, just walk forward, I'll help you up, don't worry, darlin'." Replied Midnight, now with her gigantic maw opened up, as she bent down her head to the pony's height, sticking out her tongue like a red carpet. The moment the poor pony put her first few hooves upon the ground, it was obvious something wasn't right, feeling very wet and slippery under her. Before she could say anything, Midnight retracted her tongue back into her mouth, with an extra passenger to accompany it. Midnight suckled and moaned as she began to play with the pony lodged in her mouth, tumbling her over, twisting the stoner into various positions with her tongue. Her feeble screams were barely heard from the ponies hiding in their homes, but they could witness the whole thing. One last pleasurable moan from Midnight, and the screams were instantly muffled, and the last of her existence witnessed by a small lowering bulge down Midnight's throat... She was as good as gone, with the last of her cries inaudible from the inside of Midnight's body. Midnight's eyes began to dilate, once more, and as suspected... She was indeed, about to grow again... This time, however... It was even better: She grew twice the size she once was, moments ago, now being what would be the size of a two-storey building, and also, something else was different: Those organic forms across her torso were now completely gone, assuring to her power's logic, that this was as big as she could get. After regaining her thoughts, once again, she looked down at her environment, her hooves and body covered in rubble, and small pinpricks of blood... She collapsed on top of a house! ... "Awesome!" She said, giggling at her incredible strength and power, accidentally smashing almost all the windows in Canterlot whilst doing so. Testing herself, Midnight immediately dived into the rows of houses she saw, earlier, all of them crumbling to the ground like crackers as she landed on them, instantly killing any and all ponies within, hiding from their new queen. Next, she wanted to use her hooves as her weapon, as she began stomping towards the town hall. Many ponies began fleeing from the buildings they were once using as cover, including many ponies in suits fleeing from the town hall, uselessly running away from the inevitable, many of which were instantly squashed by getting in the way of Midnight's unaware hoof. The town hall suddenly darkened, as the bringer of destruction, herself unleashed her hoof upon it. "Fuck politics" Shouted Midnight, after stomping her single front legs onto the monumental building, now crumpled like a soda can under somepony's hoof. Midnight turned towards the small crowd, now trapped within a ring of rubble, now unsure where to go. "What? It's not like you millionaires pay taxes, right?" She added, hoping the message would explain some of her motives for wrecking the city. ... Midnight looked down upon the ponies, annoyed at their ignorance, still caring for their own lives over anypony else. Her sudden screams of aggression scared some ponies to suddenly faint, whist she stomped closer and closer towards them. With her rage increasing, so did her volume... but her sanity was clearly decreasing. Turning her attention towards a row of ponies, almost too scared to care, she began shouting once again, even louder than before. "I AM GOD!" ... "WHO DARES TO LOOK GOD IN THE EYE?!" ... "HOW ABOUT YOU, DO YOU DARE TO LOOK GOD IN THE EYE!?" Said Midnight, shouting at a female unicorn, who was shivering from her frightening presence, too scared to look up. After a brief moment of waiting, Midnight just brushed her life away, stomping her already-bloody hoof onto the poor mare, scraping her body inwards as she attempted to get the remains off of her, leaving a long trail of blood where the pony once was. Not caring about the suffering she caused, Midnight looked towards the pony next to her, who was now praying to Celestia, almost crying in disbelief. "Oh, stop praying... It's not gonna save you." Facehoofed Midnight, instantly shutting her up by kicking her like a discarded soccer ball, sending her literally flying across the world of Equestria... Where she landed, no-pony knows, she could've landed in space for all they knew. Continuing to her carnage, Midnight resumed to terrorise the few ponies left in the town... But then disaster struck against her, being unexpectedly knocked over by something, falling onto her rump, accidentally crushing a small portion of the ponies near her, and a large house from behind her, now flattened by her immense plot, with some ponies still stuck to her as she sat back up.
