Hello again. Man, it has been forever since I last got on my computer and actually typed a story. Deep apologies to everyone I've kept waiting. I will be rewriting some previous fanfiction, some chapter's from here and will hopefully update more and all that jazz. Again, my apologies. I also need some help from you guys because I'm not completely sure how to continue this fanfic. So please review! I need criticism and advice. Also Nightmare is human(ish, they still got wings and horns) as well as the rest of Equestria.

"This is Nightmare speaking in whatever language the nightmares' have"

'Night's thoughts'

This is nightmare speech

"Normal talking"

The Guardians were all having a great time at the party at North's workshop. It had been about a year since the incident with Pitch Black and several new Guardians had been picked, along with Pitch surprisingly enough. Everyone had been suspicious at first, but now, they were all friends.

Some of the new Guardians besides Pitch were Lyra, Guardian of peace and tranquility, Io, the Guardian of warmth and kindness, and Sprite, the Guardian of knowledge.

Everyone was talking when the moon started to glow. A beam of light projected and image of a girl with flowing blue and purple hair wearing an indigo top with a crescent moon in the center.

Everyone looked around in confusion and started to talk amongst themselves. North clapped his hands loudly and the room quieted.

"A new Guardian has been chosen. We need to go and find this new companion. Why a new Guardian is needed, I don't know but we still need to find her."

Everybody split into groups and were just about to leave when two shapes came crashing through the ceiling.

Nightmare Moon's POV

I was walking the streets of Equestria silently with my head down. I had left Luna's body several days before and I didn't know what to do anymore. There was really no point in taking over Equestria for me, so why stay here?

'Well, I'm stuck until I can find a way to leave the dimension itself. I had better change my appearance while I'm at it…'

If anyone recognized me, it would be the end of me. Celestia and the Elements would come parading down the street and destroy me for good. I ducked into a nearby alleyway and changed my form.

I now looked like a cross between me and Luna. I had her hair and I had changed into an indigo colored shirt with a crescent moon in the center rather than my typical black.

'Ugh, this is defiantly not my style, but it'll have to do.'

Suddenly a large shape collided with me and pushed me trough a portal. As I took in my new surroundings, I noticed that we were in the old castle ruins from before I became two separate beings.

As I looked at the figure, I gasped. It was a nightmare, quite similar to the ones that possessed the other me and created me.

"What do you want?" I snarled.

You must return to usss. It isss your duty to the Nightmaresss.

"I work alone now. And I don't take orders from anyone."

You must, or die.

I fired a beam of magic at the creature. It dodged before hissing.

Very well. You chose to perish rather than join ussss.

The dark creature launched itself at me and I dodged it. I blasted it as it passed and it fell over. It picked itself back up with two grotesque arms and pushed me back with a wave of dark energy.

I tripped and fell back into another portal that had appeared. The creature followed me through and we ended up high above a building. As we fell, I grabbed the Nightmare and flipped it under me to take the impact.

We crashed through the ceiling with a loud smash. Several groups of people were by the exits and looked as if they'd been about to leave. I jumped up and narrowly dodged a blast from the Nightmare.

I growled before launching a flurry of blasts back at the Nightmare. When it was weakened enough, I used my energy to eradicate it before turning to the large group of people.

"What are you all staring at?" I growled at them.

An old guy with a beard approached me cautiously.

"We are the Guardians and you were chosen to be one of us." He said.

I snorted and shook my head.

"Listen old man, I am never going to be the Guardian of anything, except deception and manipulation. I highly doubt that I'm worthy enough to even be a thought."

The others looked amongst themselves with concerned looks on their faces, but the old guy didn't even notice.

'Not that I care what they think. They don't know me.'

"One, don't call me 'old man'. Two, you were selected to be a Guardian end of story."

"One, don't tell me what to do and two, you are an old man and that is fact."

A boy with white hair and green eyes interrupted us.

"Look, this is obviously getting nowhere so let's start with introductions. Hi, my name is Jack Frost and I'm the spirit of winter and the guardian of fun. This is North, but he's more commonly known as Santa."

I just stared blankly at him.

"Never heard of him."

There was a large amount of gasping from the crowd as they began to talk amongst themselves.

"Never heard of Santa…"

"Who wouldn't know Santa?"

"I like pie!"

"What?" I asked confused.

"Child, how do you not know of Santa Clause?" a dark voice asked.

Everyone's' heads turned to the man who spoke and I scowled. He had dark clothes on and black soul-piercing eyes.

"I am not a child." I growled dangerously. 'Pheh, I'm thousands of years old. I am far from being a child.'

He seemed slightly surprised, whether from my tone, or the fact that I talked back to him I didn't know.

"To answer your question, this Santa you speak of does not exist in my world." I stated.

More gasps came from the crowd.

"Do any of these people here exist in your world?" he asked.

"I don't know! I don't even know the names of most of them."

"Well, there's Bunnymud, or the Easter Bunny, there's Tooth, also known as the Tooth Fairy, Sandy/the Sandman, Pitch, Sprite, Lyra, and Io." Jack said.

"Only the name Lyra is familiar, but very vaguely. Do you have powers or something?"

"Well, um, some of us do, yes."

"Go on."

"I control snow and ice." Jack said.

Suddenly Jack was butted out of the way by a girl wearing white clothes. She had short blonde hair and rainbow colored wings.

"I'm Sprite and I am the Guardian of Knowledge! I keep kids smart and…stuff."

Then Sprite was butted out of the way by a girl with very fiery red hair wearing a top that started as yellow at the bottom then gradually changed to a fire red at the top.

"The name's Io and I'm the Guardian of Warmth and Kindness."

"Not." Sprite whispered to Jack, who snickered.

Io glared at her. Then an epic battle of awesomeness ensured. As the two leaped at each other, they were caught by Lyra.

"You two are making a horrible first impression. Now say your apologies and go sit in a corner to think about what you have done wrong here."

The two did what they were told and Lyra walked up to me. She had a mint green shirt and had white hair. Her voice was calm and serene.

"I apologize for my friends' rude and immature behavior. I am Lyra and I am the Guardian of Peace and Tranquility."

I think I like her. She's respectful and polite. How come no one else shows me this kind of respect? She doesn't even know me!

"You have no need to apologize for actions that were not your own."

Suddenly a girl covered in colorful feathers pooped up in front of me.

"Hi! I'm the Tooth Fairy, but you can just call me Tooth. Ooh, your teeth look so shiny!"

"Uhh, thanks, I think."

"I go around the world and collect children's teeth. They have memories in them, so it's my job to find them all."

"The name's Bunnymud and I bring kids happiness and joy by leaving eggs for them to find on Easter." A large rabbit said.

"As you know, I'm North or Santa Clause. I have many other names and I deliver presents to children on Christmas Eve. This here is Sandy, and he controls dreams." He said indicating the small golden figure that had sand swirling around him.

Interesting, he's almost like Luna, only she patrols the dream realm. And what's with the sand? Loser, Luna controls the freaking night and doesn't need sand to do her job.

I turned to Pitch and waited for him to tell me what he did.

"I am Pitch Black, and I am fear. I create nightmares and children fear me. I am not really the Guardian of anything, I just help the others."

My eyes widened slightly.

He's…like me. A living Nightmare.

"I do believe that it's your turn to share."

I hesitated before replying.

"I am…Luna. I monitor my citizens' dreams and help rid them of nightmares. I am also the Princess of the Night of my world and I raise and lower the moon. Pitch Black is the only one here who has somewhat of a counterpart in my world, and her name was Nightmare Moon."

Not exactly a lie, but not the full truth.

Pitch actually looked somewhat shocked. I just kicked back after sitting in a vacated seat with my feet on the table.

"So where is this Nightmare Moon?" he asked

"Hmm? Oh she got banished to the moon." I answered dismissively.

Pitch paled, if that was even possible. Everyone else looked mildly disturbed.

"What?"

"How does one get banished to the moon?" Lyra asked.

"Do really bad stuff and BAM! You get sent."

"That's not what I meant…"

"Oh, right, magic and stuff. I don't know, so don't ask me. I didn't do the banishing."

"How much do you know about Nightmare Moon?" Sprite asked, eyes glimmering with curiosity.

"Just as much as anyone else. She tried to bring about eternal night, almost killed my sister Celestia and got sent to the moon. It's a rather stressing and emotionally traumatizing experience for me, so please understand if I don't wish to speak of it. "

And here are the revisions for the first chapter. Hope you liked.
