Controlled Pawn
First rule of chess,
“Never let your opponent know that you’re playing them.”
Second rule of chess,
“Be deceiving, if you can.”
And the last rule of chess,
“When you make a move, make sure it better be darn good.”
“Uggghhhh! No!” screamed Midnight in her mind as she flew towards Daydream Shimmer, powering up her magical beam. Daydream flew towards her as well, also charging her beam.
The two magical beings collided with enough force that both were flung back by several metres, before charging up again and aiming their full power beams at each other.
The blue and yellow beams crashed into each other before mixing with each other to cause a bright flash that almost blinded bystanders.
“No, I must win this. I must know all about the magic on the other side. Nothing shall stand in my way!” thought Midnight as she panicked.
With a burst of power that came out of nowhere, Midnight was able to push the beam closer to Daydream. Laughing wildly as she pushed Daydream’s beam further and further from her, she heard someone calling her previous name below.
Looking down, she saw Spike standing at the edge of the portal, giving her the cutest eyes that she’d ever seen. Suddenly Daydream’s beam started moving closer to Midnight.
“Spi-” was all she got out before she felt her body being taken over by an unknown source and she stared right at Daydream.
“Oh no, you’re not stopping me that easily.” There words were all foreign words to her mouth as the beam lurched forward at Daydream, knocking her backwards and landing at the bottom of the steps. Now, untransformed, Sunset Shimmer looked up at the hovering figure above her of what used to be Twilight Sparkle. Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Applejack and Spike are now running towards her in haste to try and protect Sunset.
“You’re not going to stop me from letting me get what I want,” said Midnight coldly, with the flame around her eyes now glowing deep purple and flowing erratically. Her head now bent down, with the group unable to see her eyes, as she continued.
“Twilight, why are you doing this?” cried out Spike as Midnight slowly lifted her head, with her eyes showing no mercy and a cold look on her face.
“Not now, not ever”
Then she moved in.
Midnight Sparkle woke and felt powerful, but wrong.
She tried to open her eyes as she moaned and tried to prop herself up while sitting on the smoking remains of Canterlot High, not knowing that she had just destroyed the entire school just hours earlier. With a blurry vision, a blistering headache and a numbing sensation that has made itself known as she sat up.
“Uhhhh, my head.” moaned Midnight as she tried to stand up on her two feet, she had fainted of exhaustion earlier after destroying Canterlot. She wasn't even sure of how she managed to decimate the school. It was then that she noticed the multiple portals to the other world surrounding her and the multi-spectral strings of glowing stuff that’s going from the portals to her.
Unaware of what’s happening she stood up and looked around at her surroundings. The burning wreckage of Canterlot High is splayed around her, “What happened here...” started Midnight before a deep, sly voice boomed in her head.
“You my dear, all this was done by you. No one else could have done this.”
Now Midnight was starting to panic as the voice continued on.
“You have absolutely no idea what’s going on here, am I right dear?” questioned the voice, Midnight nodded her head in response.
“You have been the pawn right from the beginning, and you had no clue that I was playing you all right into this. You had absolutely no choice in this, it was all an illusion that I had crafted up.” continued the mysterious voice,
“But why?” whimpered Midnight, she can feel the sheer power of this mysterious being just by hearing her voice. “If I want to learn about magic, I’ll want to do it by myself.”
“Because of my thirst for power! And now have no power to stop me!”
Suddenly Midnight flew towards one of the nearby portals, catching her off guard, but now having no control over her body she watched on as her body transformed into a pony and made to do the bidding of the mysterious voice.
“Never let your opponent know that you’re playing them.”
