Law of Excession: Tales of the Conversion Bureau Under An Alien Sun's Light

by The Monoceros


The Midnight Hour (Revamped)

Welcome. Here we are, in yet an other alternate Equestria. But not Earth. As you may have already guessed, this version of Equestria hasn't yet transported itself to our world. In fact, they are still making the final preparations. To put it bluntly, they are still working on the magical ritual for the simultaneous trans-dimensional teleportation of Equestria coupled with the initial activation of the Barrier. The only pony present who doesn't believe that they should "save" the humans. As such, everypony she knows, her friends, Shining Armor, Princess Cadence, and even Princess Celestia, is peer pressuring her into perfecting the double spell. In fact, the only reason that she agreed to work on this delicate spellwork was out of her loyalties to those she cares about. However, she is correct in her belief that nopony has the right to interfere with another universe. If only she wasn't alone in her concerns, because soon everypony present will learn to pay the high price of unleashing the magic when wishing to relocate to a world Under An Alien Sun.



Twilight sighed and turned toward her friends. "Look girls," she began, "I know that I've already said this before, but—"

"Twilight Sparkle," Celestia interjected, "Please just keep working. I know you don't want to disappoint anypony here."

"Yeah, Egghead! Don't chicken out on us!" Rainbow Dash included.

Twilight sighed internally and nodded. She turned back to work, but nopony even considered how she was really feeling. Inside, she was crying as if she had learned that her parents had been killed. 'How could everypony do this to me?' she thought to herself mournfully.

"Oh darlings, I'm just shaking in anticipation."

"Ah know Rarity, are ya finished yet?" Applejack asked Twilight.

"Almost," Twilight answered.

Cadence came forward and said, "Think about it Twilight! You're creating a new spell! You'll be listed among the ranks of the greats! Like Star Swirl the Bearded!"

"Stop, just please stop."

"Is it finally ready, Twilight?" Shining Armor asked.

Yes, everypony, it's finally ready."

Everypony gave cheers of happiness, excitement, and joy.

"Do any of you know what this calls for? A PARTY!"

"Just a minute, Pinkie Pie," Celestia said, "We should wait until after we get to Earth before celebrating. Everypony prepare yourselves, because in three hours, we’re going to cast the spell. And, Twilight, I'd like you to do the honors."

+++ +++ +++ +++ +++

Everything was in place. Everpony, except Twilight, was ready. Twilight tearfully began to cast the ritual. Only to start screaming in agonized pain and terror when she was suddenly, without warning, consumed by an unforeseen overloaded power surge that could only be the result of an unexpected magical meltdown. Wondering what went wrong, everpony could do nothing except stare in horror as the blinding light enveloped Twilight. However, their horror and worry was soon transformed into horror and dread, because when the light began to gradually dissipate, they heard Twilight's nightmarish screaming morphed into demented laughter.

"T-Twilight," Fluttershy stammered, "Are you okay?"

There was an unnerving period of silence before Twilight's now distorted voice answered, "I feel...so alive!"

Twilight stepped out of the unnatural light, her newly transformed state coming into view.

The darkened Twilight made a sadistic smile when she was treated to the stares and gasps of horror that her new self had evoked from her now former friends and family.

She opened her mouth to say something that she should've said to everypony, Celestia especially, much earlier, "You. All of you. Have allowed your unfounded paranoia to corrupt yourselves, everypony else, and the very magic of friendship into something WICKED AND WRONG!"

Midnight Sparkle spread her wings and took off, teleporting elsewhere as she flew away.



Where is she going? What is she planning? Only she knows what she is going to do. But, it is doubtful that she is going to act in Equestria's good health. As punishment for their plans to force themselves onto humanity, Equestria has lost one of its greatest heroes, for she has become a monster. A twist of fate that can only possibly occur when ponies attempt to move to a world Under An Alien Sun.
