Description

Empress Midnight (who I had previously called Empress Twilight before realizing she had a name for her corrupted self lmao).
In an alternate timeline, Princess Twilight became obsessed with magic and power, driving her to madness until she transformed into Empress Midnight. Drunk with power, and mad with obsession, she has done things for which she could never be forgiven. The greatest of these lies on her chest like a badge of honor. The friends that remain know that Twilight is long gone. All that remains is the Empress.
Can the timeline be repaired? Can this tragedy be reversed? One pony will set out to answer these and more questions.
 
PS: Please zoom in on her eyes. I spent the better part of two hours on just that part (mostly making each individual star). lmao
edit: Sorry for the confusion, the “Midnight Sparkle” tag automatically added the “equestria girls” tag. That mistag was not intentional.

That’s an interesting story idea!
In my AU, tho, it was in a battle in which the sisters confronted Midnight together and she fought them and beat them.
Celestia was captured, nearly dead, and turned to stone. The statue was then publicly destroyed. She kept Celestia’s crest as a way to dsiplay the proof that she is the “undisputed” ruler of Equestria.
Luna could not be found, but she presumed her dead.
Turns out Luna escaped alive (albeit gravely wounded, her horn damaged so she can’t use her magic) and is secretly heading the rebellion against Midnight

I think I can see ideas which crimes this monster did. One sickening one I picture be genocide; a monstrous one.
I also got this idea how she slew Celeztia. Draining ehr with a spell forbidden coz draining magic also drains life energy. Basically she drains Celestia who turns to energy she absorbs and takes the gold thing as some grand trophy from her victory.
As for Luna, I see ehr death being sadder coz she sacrifices herself for children. And this monster takes her shoes as trophies.
Wonder how our Twylight react if she saw her dakrer incarnadion’s crimes. Bet she worry if she’s closer to becoming her.

Twilight Sparkle; In many ways we were the same. But when you peeked into the abyss of darkness, you blinked.

Rainbow Dash: You’re just some frustrated magic student turn ponycidal megalomaniac!
Empress Midnight; Am I? AM I? Let us find out!!!!!!!
Sunset; Smart plan, pp. By taking advantage of Empress Midnight’s ego, she lure her to our ambush and also save Twylight.. Our empress forgot the importance of teamwork.

Empress Midnight: You claim we’re not the same, Twylight Sparkle? You’re already me! You just lack the courage to admit it to your pawns!
Twilight Sparkle; They’re my friends! And I refuse to be you!
Empress Midnight: Your actions speak louder than words. You’re already me!!

If they met, I see Twylight Sparkle being force to face her inner darkness. It’s always ugly when the ehro finds out the monster is his inner darkness. As the Valeyard to the Doctor, Zurg to Buzz Lightyear, Darth Vader to Anakin Skywalker, and Mr. Hyde to Doctor Jekyll.
