New Canterlot

Adam's POV

I was summoned by Princess Nightmare Moon , as she had something to tell me , I wasn't sure what in the world it was , but the letter said that I should come alone . Doing just that , I boarded a train bound for Canterlot , however though I had to find out , the history of this soverign nation and I figured that this was going to be it . The train soon pulled into the New Canterlot station. Grabbing my computer and everything I knew I was going to be staying there for a while . I started my long trek , through the streets and saw the lunar castle in the distance . And sure enough , that's when I saw Nightmare Moon herself come running out of the castle and towards me . "Adam , I'm glad you could make it you seem out of breath" said Nightmare .

"yea , a lot of walking can do that to ya , especially when your lugging a computer among other things" I said . "ah , let me help you with that , I can have there in no time at all" Offered Nightmare . "Thanks , I could use all the help that I can get" I said . With that she removed the laptop from me , and carefully put it around her own body which I swear she looked the same height as Luna . Ignoring that we finally made the last of the journey for me that is , towards the castle and finally inside , where the maids and butlers took my stuff towards a room .

I quickly followed them and got changed since I too wear all black , after my shower I felt much cleaner . I then was directed to the chambers of Nightmare moon . And soon there after , I made it I knocked politely and that's when I heard her voice . But not only did I see Nightmare , Luna , Starchaser and Blueblood . "I'm glad you could make it , we have much to tell you" said Luna .

Grabbing a nearby chair , I could tell that this was going to be a while . "Alright , I was curious about this history of this nation how far does it date back?" I asked . "About 4,000 years" said Luna . "Alright where does this story begin?" I asked . "It begins on Old Equiss , back when mother had hardly much to take care of me let alone my other brothers and sisters" said Luna .

FLASHBACK 4,000 years ago

Location : Equiss , Equestria , Dodge Junction Outskirts

Queen Chernalia's POV

I was pregnant with Luna , my first born foal my husband King Cosmos was right here with me. "It's going to be alright , honey I'm sure that this time things are going to turn out alright" said Cosmos with a smile . "I know , in fact I can feel her kicking" I said with a smile .

Of course over time we had to do something , our lunar kingdom was running out of money and trade was barley keeping this kingdom a float , money was being spent like crazy but we had a plan , should the kingdom ever run out of money or get overrun by an enemy , we all flee in all corners of Equestria and afterwords we all reunite , rebuild , and keep the kingdom going , we were always on the move , never really stopping and settling down in one area . I sighed as finally my water had broken and thankfully after what felt like hours of pushing , we had a filly and I knew what I would name her , Luna of the moon .

Thankfully though , we were able to take care of her up to a point till we were broke , and that's when we put her up for adoption , not because we wanted more kids or to run off somewhere , it was so we could get back on our feet as king and queen of the lunar kingdom , our neighbor the solar kingdom , was mostly handling things easily , there subjects were making money and life was good for them , and we wanted Luna to have that good life , it's not that we hated her , it's just we didn't have the bits to raise her , but our real plan was raise enough children in hopes one of them could run our kingdom known as The Moon Kingdom .

Named after the moon , as time went on , we had fillies and colts ones like Crescent song , Dark glimmer , Eclipse , Lunar flower , Lunar Descent , Lunar Nightmare , Lunar Shine , Lunar Wishes , Lunar Storms , Midnightrose , Nightmare Dancer , Nightmare Beat , Nightwish , Northern Crescent , our little Nyx , Artemis , Concord , Orkan , Shadow , our lovely yet wrathful Starchaser , Moonshine , and of course our little Nightmare Moon . These ponies would be the key to the success of the kingdom or it's downfall . And after they were old enough to run the kingdom we disappeared from public view , but not before we sent Nightmare Moon to check in on Luna for us , find out if she was doing alright .

Nightmare Moon's POV

I wasn't sure as to what my parents were asking of me , but if this was for there first born Luna , then so be it . "Mother , are you sure? The sun kingdom , hasn't replied to any of our letters concerning Luna at all , it's like they don't even know her let alone acknowledge that she exists" I said . "I know that , which is why you should go and check in on her , and find out what's going on , find out why there not responding to our letters , gather whatever information that you can" said Chernalia . I knew what I had to do , find Luna and hopefully unite with her .

As the sun set , and the moon rose I went under the cover of darkness and made my way towards the city capital of Canterlot , finally making my way inside the castle , I saw a couple of patrols , I avoided them easily since I used teleportation and made it towards Luna's chambers .

The guards there didn't know me , but that mattered little . I knocked them out and made my way inside , there I found my sleeping sister . Luna bolted up awake , horn flared and spotted me . "I know your there intruder , reveal yourself!" said Luna . I did just that revealing my black coat and misty flowing mane. "Nightmare ? , how did you get here?" asked Luna .

"I walked , and then snuck inside" I said . I closed the door , that way nopony would hear our conversation . Sure enough though , Celestia was already asleep , and her parents well , I didn't care where they were .

"I'm glad your here sister , in fact though Celestia and me always fight about me lowering the moon every night , and now I see the way she acts , she acts normal but when her parents are gone to who knows where , she turns into this monster , hitting me and always picking a fight" explained Luna .

And with a shock I saw all the bruises and hoof imprints on her , along with several bite marks as well . "Luna , I need you to listen to me , and listen good okay , I was sent her by mother to check in on you in fact though , she wants me to gather any kind of information regarding this kingdom" I said .

"Very well , I mostly started to do that myself , but apparently Celestia's been keeping an eye on me very closely , I'm not sure as to what she's planning but it can't be good" said Luna worriedly . "She won't suspect me ! , I know a few spells that will block whatever memories she may have of me" I said with an evil smile .

"Alright , don't try and reveal yourself , remain hidden in the shadows for as long as possible , and for whatever reason , don't draw attention to yourself" said Luna . "Don't worry , I'll be fine , listen to me if Celestia does something wrong , and tries to remove us , I have a plan now hear me out" I said . With that I went over the plan with her , it was something that I was working on for sometime now .

"So , basically I want you to form the lunar republic , rally whoever you can to yourside , but only if you see her true colors ! , i'm serious about this little sister! , also , gather as many guards as possible , I know there under your command , but trust me on this it will work in your favor" I said seriously . Luna nodded and decided to try and get back to sleep , as for me I simply hid myself in one of the guest rooms and work on trying to figure out some kind of spell to break through and get in touch with my family .

This is going to take me awhile , but i'll have to somehow change my appearance , the solar guards I believe are already asleep , which means I can work on that apperance spell but also at the sametime try and get information I thought . Once everything was set up , I headed down a few hallways until I saw it , I couldn't believe it was true , the casing for the elements of harmony .how in the world did she come across these ? , it's a tough spell to crack , but I think I can do it … not now , i'm suspecting that there's somepony coming I thought .

I quickly headed back to the empty room via teleportation , by the time I had gotten back , it was like I wasn't even there at all . That was way too close ! , however though , The elements of harmony are there , just locked up . I suspect , that not once has Canterlot come under attack as of late , so the elements haven't been used , which means they only use them should Canterlot come under attack , now I have an idea of what to do I thought . I thought for a while longer , and this is what came to my mind . Even if Luna starts a rebellion , she's going to need a lot of help , from her family and me ! , no doubt Celestia knows more about war and battle then Luna , we'll have to train her that way she can fight on the battle field , and not get killed .

Just before the sun started to rise , I teleported out and headed straight back to the house , where I had found mother and father waiting there , I could tel that they weren't mad or anything of the sort . "So Nightmare , what was it that you had found out?" asked Cosmos . "It's bad father , turns out that Celestia , maybe planning something , which is why we have to train Luna in case it does come to pass" I said .

"I see , anything else?" asked Chernalia . "Yes , Celestia's parents also have the elements of Harmony inside the castle" I added . "I see , this does raise some questions , but not enough for a rebellion" said Cosmos thinking . "Indeed it doesn't honey , Nightmare , I want you to take Luna away from the castle after she raises the moon , and train her hard , until sun rise" said Cosmos . "Alright , anything else?" I asked . "No , that'll be all" said Cosmos . With that I headed to my room , got into bed and slept the day away .

FLASHBACK END

Adam's POV

I was surprised , Nightmare Moon training Luna . "So you see , I had to train her in all forms of combat , including hoof to hoof , it was true that she didn't get it at first , but through each night she got stronger and practiced , Celestia was confused but ignored it , that was when she found out her parents were killed and well she assumed the throne and took command of the Sun kingdom and renamed it into The Solar Empire at least she thought they were dead" said Luna .

"Well were they?" I asked . "No , they had faked there own death's to allow Celestia to take the throne , I knew then I had to make my move , but this time Nightmare was no where to be found instead I figured that she had teleported back home , leaving me to lead The First Lunar Rebellion , however though Celestia was also trained to lead armies and what have you , at the time we were working with the tech that we had before , but plans were being found on your human discs and so we began to extract them and store them for 'the future' and that future is now , we only worked with shields , swords , axes , armor , and various siege weapons" said Luna .

"But Celestia had a tactical advantage over you in terms of command and battlefield tactics" I pointed out . "She did , but my family trained me to out smart her , and out think her , which I did but in the end we made our last stand , and with her more powerful army , she wiped us all out , except me I was brought back to her side , Nightmare here , had a backup plan and thanks to her , it worked" added the Queen . "which lead up to your banishment to the moon for the next thousand years , and that lead to The Second Lunar Rebellion" I said . "Indeed , and so the second one was much more successful than how the first one went four thousand years ago" said Luna . Now I get it . "So that's why you recruited me to lead the navy just before the war even started" I said .

"Yes , we needed a human to help lead the navy , because if not , we would have lost the second lunar rebellion and for that would have been unacceptable" said Nightmare . "Alright , well I'm sure you have much more to tell me , perhaps on another full moon?" I asked . "It's a deal , because there's much more to this backstory than you know" said Star Chaser cryptically .

I headed back to my room and turned on my Xbox to play some games , that's when Luna's gametag popped up . You are going down Luna I smirked . I chose to play Halo : Combat evolved Multiplayer , little did I know , she did the samething , however though I thought I had the advantage but alas I didn't , but she was kicking my bum and winning all because I allowed her to . The rest of the night was filled with just fun competition from each other .
