Chapter 1: Abduction
At the Dark Strategy Chamber, Dark Curse and his members of Dark Strategy Five had been gathered and sat on their chairs neared to the round table as they were having some discussion for their plans...
On their table, it was the astrology map and it shown the reddish color of the moon. And on the land was the demonic creatures such as Monsters, Demons, Orcs, Trolls, Ogres, Underworld Creatures and so on were shown to be demonic, creepy and terrifying in attacking and slaughtering both Humans and Demons.
"My brothers... The Crimson Moon is coming..." Nazgual said darkly and terrifyingly, "And do you know what this means?"
Spiritcurse smirked evilly, "Who wouldn't? It was the perfect time for our brethren to roam freely across the living world."
"Indeed," Master Monk nodded his head, "Everything we had been preparing and waiting for has finally come true. And we shall bring the Age of Nightmares across both Mystic and Equestria. This operation will be completed."
"However, the Crimson Moon only lasted for one whole day," Myotis said in concern, "In other words... We have no hope to stop it from leaving."
Da Ji giggled in amusement, "Don't worry, Myotis. Isn't why we prepared for it to be lasted eternally?"
Nazgul smirked evilly, agreeing with Da Ji's plan and ideal; spoke: "You are correct, Da Ji. We had prepared our army, armada, items and even the ritual to bring forth Eternal Nightmare. But only the very specific items has yet to retrieve. Three special Dark-Type Ponies that has the ability in controlling the Moon to use for our ritual."
Spiritcure, Master Monk, Myotis and Da Ji smiled evilly and darkly about it. Their dark plans were about to begin and especially three ponies they required.
On the very Night, Princess Luna was standing on the Canterlot Castle's balcony. She was looking at the beautiful moon. She smiled gently, glad and happy to be with her family and friends. Everything was perfect and fine. She turned to her back and looked at Princess Celestia's bedroom. She saw the sleeping sister of hers on her bed peacefully and calmly...
Princess Luna took a deep breathe, "My sister..."
Flashback:
30 B.E.
On the hill where young Megan, Danny and Molly were having picnic with two Royal Sisters, a young Princess Luna smiled happily while her older sister Princess Celestia, using her magic; levitating and lowering the Sun down. While during her lowering it down, Princess Celestia turned and glanced at her younger sister. She smiled gently at her.
Princess Luna smiled and giggled happily. She turned to the sky. She groaned determinedly and angrily as her horn glowed in navy aura for long moment as she determined to raise the moon up. It was long and difficult. The moon slowly coming out. She was almost there. With the sound of grunt, Princess Luna's horn had her navy aura dispersed. The moon had lowered down.
Princess Luna moaned in upset as she looked down. All practice she had for nothing?
Princess Celestia approached and placed her hoof over Luna's body. She turned and looked at her older sister. Princess Celestia smiled gently and happily.
Her sister's smile had given her confidence, Princess Luna smiled back as she turned back and had her horn glowed in navy aura. She groaned determinedly. The Moon slowly ascending from the grounds to the high sky. With the Moon at its peak, the clear and blue sky turned into a dark yet beautiful night.
Princess Luna gasped in surprise. She smiled before screamed and cheered happily and wildly as she bounced around and around of Princess Celestia, with her happy and proud smile. Princess Celestia and her three adopted Humans smiled proudly and happily. It was happy and great for her life.
Flashback Ends...
Princess Luna breathed deeply in relief, "That was a great memory. Maybe a song can make her happy and peaceful. And I know a song."
She cleared her throat gently while closing her eyes.
Princess Luna sang: Come, little children, I'll take thee away
Into a land of enchantment
Come, little children, the time's come to play
Here in my garden of shadows
Across the Equestria, most of ponies in their beds or active and still awake on and during the night heard the beautiful song. They all smiled happily in listening to her voice. Divine Star smiled as well during her flying across the Equestria.
At her bedroom, Princess Celestia hummed gently while smiling happily, "Luna..."
Princess Luna sang: Follow, sweet children, I'll show thee the way
Through all the pain and the sorrows
Weep not, poor children, for life is this way
Murdering beauty and passions
10 demonic metal armored black monstrous Ponies were slowly approaching behind of Princess Luna.
Princess Luna sang: Hush now, dear children, it must be this way
Too weary of life and deceptions
Rest now, my children, for soon we'll away
Into the calm and the quiet -!
Princess Luna yelped in shock. Her mouth was covered by four hooves. She was about to attack and struggle. Her hooves were grabbed and pulled, making her fell to the ground hard. All of her hooves were tied up in chains. Her mouth was gagged. She turned to her back. She found the familiar monstrous Ponies in the demonic armors. They snarled and growled softly. She gasped in shock before mumbled and muttered out loud.
The Dark Mystic Beasts looked at each other before they nodded their heads. They dragged Princess Luna away from the balcony. What were they up to...
At Ponyville, it was both peaceful and quiet for everyone to sleep.
At Carousal Boutique, Rarity snored out loud as she slept peacefully on her bed. Nothing had ruined her peace. On Sweetie Belle's room, she was sleeping as well, along with her younger and same aged as her: niece, Elsa. They were both sleeping peacefully and calmly.
Elsa was levitated and lifted in the form of dark-pinkish glow from her bed. She slowly floated and headed straight to Sweetie Belle's opened window. She landed straight on the hooves of Da Ji. She turned and looked at Spiritcurse. Spiritcurse smirked evilly.
At Friendship Rainbow Kingdom, Twilight and Ben were sleeping on their beds. Spike slept in his own room. Nyx and Phobos slept on their room. Everyone looked peacefully. The shadow loomed over Nyx. An evil snickered and chuckled while looking at her.
Phobos yawned loudly as he stretched himself out. Before he could do anything, the figure approached to him and tied him tight in rope and gag on mouth and his eyes. He muttered and mumbled angrily beneath the gag. The figure turned and smirked evilly as he glanced at sleeping Nyx.
He grabbed her up before flying straight to the window out. Flying straight to the moon. The Moon's color slowly transformed into a crimson color. The figure revealed himself to be Diablo the dark Pegasus colt with dark and spiky mane and short tail and his Cutie Mark was a dart, injection dart and bat.
Nyx yawned loudly as she slowly opened her eyes. She looked at Diablo. She gasped in shock, "Diablo?! What the?! Where am I?! What did you do?!"
Diablo chuckled, "Just a big surprise for the Crimson Moon Day."
"What?!"
"Nighty night, brat!"
Before Nyx could do anything, Diablo hissed and bit on her neck. She yelped painfully as she went into her deep sleep. He smirked evilly. He turned and flapped off to the moon.
On the next day at Canterlot...
Princess Celestia yawned loudly as she slowly got up from her bed. She stretched herself tightly and widely. She smiled happily. She headed to the balcony as she prepared for raising the sun up. She looked up. She gasped in shock.
"Great Grandmother Lauren!" Princess Celestia cried in fear. She was looking and glancing at the crimson color of the moon. She was in shock and concern, "That never happen before. Luna?"
Concern of her younger sister's condition and heart, Princess Celestia turned and headed straight to her bedroom door. She was about to open. Two Royal Night Guards banged and came in her room.
"Princess Celestia!" Royal Night Guards exclaimed in concern.
"What is it?" Princess Celestia asked in concern, "Where's my sister?"
"That's the point, your highness," Royal Night Guard #1 said in concern.
"Princess Luna is missing!" Royal Night Guard #2 exclaimed in fear.
"No..." Princess Celestia gasped in concern and shock. She spoke softly while her tears came out from her eyes. She said : "Not her... Luuuuuunnnnnnaaaaaa!"
Princess Luna was missing?!
At Rarity's home, she was setting the breakfast up while humming gently and softly as it was going to be a beautiful morning. She set the foods up on the table: waffles and pancakes, toasts and orange juices.
Rarity breathed lightly, "This was like yesterday when I first had breakfast with Elsa. My very first daughter. And it was kinda awkward at first, but pure gentle and graceful. It worth everything I had in my mind and heart."
"RARITY!" Sweetie Belle screamed in concern.
Rarity yelped in shock. She turned and saw the running feared Sweetie Belle heading straight to Rarity.
"Sweetie Belle?" Rarity asked in concern and wondrous, "What is it? Did something goes wrong? Did you pick a fight with your own niece again?"
"No, Rarity," Sweetie Belle answered in concern and frantically, "Elsa's gone! I woke up in the morning and found her gone! Not outside! Not in bathroom! Not in tailor room! Nothing! She's gone!"
"Whhhhaaaattt?!" Rarity asked in shock. Her daughter can't! She couldn't be! She cried and sobbed in despair, "Elllllllssssssaaaaaaa!"
Elsa went missing now?!
At Friendship Rainbow Kingdom, Ben, Twilight and Spike smiled happily while they neared to Nyx's room door. Spike held the black and purple cream cake and a candle on its top. They wanted to make a best surprise for Nyx. They can't wait to give a try! Today is the day for her special day! Her Birthday is here!
They knocked the door thrice. For the moment, it was silent and no response. They gasped and looked in confuse. They opened the door and entered the room. They gasped in shock and worry. They saw the wrapping and grasping ropes of Phobos, as well as his eyes and mouth were gagged. He was struggling to get out from his bed. They quickly help him while removing the ropes out.
"Phobos, where's Nyx?!" Twilight asked in concern.
Concerned and feared, Phobos looked around of the room and found Nyx was nowhere to be seen. He answered, "I don't know." Sparkle Family looked worry and concern. He continued, "I honestly don't know! I was sleeping and took a big yawn. And the next thing I know, I've been gagged and tight up in ropes!"
The Sparkle Family looked at each other in concern and worry.
"That can't be Nyx. Even she's mad and upset, she wouldn't tied Phobos up like this," Spike said in concern.
"What could this mean? Nyx's a good girl and she would never do something dangerous or bad to any of us." Ben explained.
Twilight thought of the moment before she gasped in concern as she realized something, "Oh no... Not her. Not again... She's been kidnapped!" Sparkle Family gasped in concern and worry. Twilight's tears came out from her eyes before screamed, "Nyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyxxxxxxxxxxxx!"
Nyx was now missing!
At Ponyville, the citizens were alerted and informed of Nyx and Elsa's missing. All of them looked around and searched across the towns and squares in looking for them, along with the Royal Guards.
Twilight and her friends gathered at her Friendship Rainbow Kingdom's Council Chamber as they had important and concerned meeting to deal with.
"Elsa went missing and kidnapped?!" Twilight asked in concern and worry. Rarity nodded her head in concern. Twilight moaned in concern, "This is happening again. Why?!"
"That's not the only thing we're worrying about," said Applejack, "We've got some strange moon with its color red."
"Actually that's Crimson, Applejack," Rarity corrected. She then continued, "But the point is we had two things to deal with. And question remain is who could do such a thing? Who could do to my sweetie Elsa?!"
Rainbow scoffed angrily, "I bet it was that stupid Blazing Insect again! He's always up to something maniac and crazy! And especially delivering both Nyx and Elsa to Tso Lan!"
"I had to agree with that," Fluttershy said in concern.
"If I ever see that stupid psychopath clown, I'm gonna knock him out!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed angrily.
"Yeah! He's going down!" Cutie Mark Crusaders exclaimed angrily.
"It has to be Tso Lan. He's been chasing after Nyx for long time since the day he finally became our daughter. He has to be the one who mess up with the Moon." Ben explained in concern.
Twilight nodded her head angrily, "Tso Lan has gone too far! He still wants Rarity's and my daughters so much! I won't let him get away with it! It's time we find and kill him for good! Any objection?!"
"NO!" Everyone screamed in anger.
Twilight's eyes narrowed in anger and determination, "Then, I declare a war against Tso Lan!"
"YEAH!" Everyone cried in anger.
"TWILIGHT SPARKLE, STOP!" The voice shouted. Everyone turned and found Princess Celestia's coming in to the chamber, along with Tao, Terrorcreep and Lightning Wisdom. She continued, "This is not the work of Tso Lan. It was someone else."
"What do you mean, mom?" Ben asked in concern.
Rarity nodded her head in agreement, "I had to agree with Ben. Who else could be responsible with the messes?"
"The only one who did this mess is Tso Lan," Applejack said in concern.
Princess Celestia nodded her head, understanding her friends' concerns and suggestions. She explained, "If it was him, I would have sense the moon's reaction. But however, I sense no sigh of him. And not only that, my sister was captured."
Twilight and her friends gasped in concern and shocked. First, Nyx and Elsa gone missing, and now Princess Luna?! They realized that Tso Lan wanted Nyx and Elsa only, and not Princess Luna. It can't be him. Who else did it, if it was not Tso Lan?!
Terrorcreep nodded, "This is something else. Something not only involve your children, but also Crimson Moon. And today is the Moon of all Demons and Monsters."
"Crimson Moon?" Mane Six, Ben, Cutie Mark Crusaders asked in concern.
Tao nodded, "And one who intended for it to happen, Nazgul the Demon General and Dark Mystic of Dark Monsters."
"You mean... The very same monster we deal when we first face during the Vampire Pony Incident?!" Spike asked in concern and worry.
"Oh my! I never wanted to see his face! Never! His face... is terrible and monstrous!" Fluttershy said in concern.
"But more importantly," said Twilight in concern, "what is Crimson Moon? I never heard of that legend before."
"And let's not forget about why Nazgul wanted Princess Luna, Nyx and Elsa?" Rarity said in concern and worry.
Princess Celestia nodded, "I understand how you feel. But the explanation of this event will be noted. Tao, Lightning Wisdom and Terrorcreep will explain about Crimson Moon. And believe me, my little ponies, it won't be pleasant."
Nyx moaned painfully. Her eyes slowly opened. When awaken from her slumber, she gasped in shock and worry as she found herself trap in the water within giant glassed tube. She looked to the left: Princess Luna while on the right: Elsa. They were both wide awake. In front of her view, it was the dark laboratory, filled with machines and devices. While above her were the wires, they were connecting to the top. It was filled with more of Dark Mystic Monster Ponies.
"Elsa? Great Aunt Luna? What's going on?! Where are we?" Nyx asked.
"I don't know. It's too much scary! I wanna go home!" Elsa cried in fear.
Princess Luna's eyes narrowed in anger, "Someone had captured us for some purpose. And I know who is it." The door opened in two. Princess Luna, Nyx and Elsa looked up and found Nazgul approaching them. She hissed in anger, "You..."
"It's been a while, Luna." Nazgul said darkly.
"What do you want with us, Nazgul?!" Nyx demanded angrily.
"Let us go now!" Elsa demanded angrily.
Nazgul chuckled softly and gently, "I'm afraid I can't let you all go. I have some use of you for the project: Crimson Moon."
"Crimson Moon? What art thou talk about?! I demand an explanation from thee!" Princess Luna demanded angrily.
Nazgul smirked evilly while looking at Princess Luna. Approached to her test tube, he placed his hoof on the glass. She gasped in shock and worry. She was worried about of what he was doing.
"Do not worry, my princess," Nazgul said calmly, "You will find out sooner or later. Three of you will be part of my perfect plan..."
Nazgul turned away and exited the Dark Laboratory. Whatever his plan was, it was not good and sooner or later, it will be too late.
At the Rainbow Friendship Kingdom, Terrorcreep explained the story about 'Crimson Moon'. On the middle, it was filled with the holographic form of crimson moon.
Terrocreep explained, "The Crimson Moon or known as theDemon's Moon, only appear once for every 3,000 years. It was very rare but also dangerous and monstrous because it increased and enhanced only the powers of Dark-Type and Demon-Type monsters and ponies, and even Grimmore himself. That is where the light became vulnerable and useless in fighting back against their superior and dangerous powers of theirs. The moon also brought the dead to the living as well. That day... At Transylvania, some of you wonder how it existed? It is because Demon Warriors from the past and especially Dark Mystic Ponies used that powers and overwhelm their enemies to defeat and death to become one of them..."
Rainbow gulped in concern, "You mean he can escape the Seal?!"
"Oh! Party Pooper!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed angrily, "There goes for all of our happiness."
Tao shook his head, "Nope, not yet. We had taken another extreme steps for more prevention against Grimmore. Even if he had so much of that power, but our Mystic Crystal's enhanced powerful spell had increased the Seal in against any kind of powerful attacks. Therefore, we are save from harm... for now..."
"But that doesn't explain of why Nazgul wanted Princess Luna, Nyx and Elsa for?" Twilight asked in concern.
"We do not know," Princess Celestia explained, "But whatever plans he had, we must not let him achieve it. Who knows what kind of tricks he has? We must act and stop him!"
Twilight thought of the moment before she nodded, "Agree, princess. That is why we're all going. We'll deal with these monsters once and for all. Even Crimson Moon had helped them, but it doesn't mean we're going to be defeated."
"Yeah!" Twilight's friends cried wildly.
"No. I'm afraid we can't send all of you to invade Nightmare Kingdom to deal with Nazgul at once," Tao answered in concern. Everyone but Princess Celestia, Lightning Wisdom and Terrorcreep. He continued, "Because Nightmare Kingdom affected most of purest ponies to death or turned into monsters. Only some who had experienced with Dark Magic and Dark Powers will be immune to it. And that is why Princess Celestia, Twilight Sparkle and Rarity are fit for it. Terrorcreep and Lightning Wisdom will guide them to Nightmare Kingdom."
"What will the rest do?" Rainbow asked in concern and worry." Rainbow asked in concern.
"The rest will remain here for defense and protection, should any Dark Mystic Ponies, Smaug's minions and Grimmore's army come and attack us." Terrorcreep explained.
Twilight's friends were in concern and skeptical about it.
Twilight turned and spoke, "Girls. Don't worry, we'll be fine. Besides, what Tao said is true, three of us are immune to darkness since we had terrible experience in against our fears and darkest nightmares for some times."
Rarity nodded her head, "Indeed. We'll be fine."
Ben nodded his head. He approached and hugged Twilight, "Please be careful and bring Nyx back home."
Twilight hugged back, "I will."
Sweetie Belle looked down in concern as she had thoughts of her own about her friend and niece. She looked up and showed her determination that she won't abandoned any of them.
The rescue mission has begun...
To be continued...
