Celestial Fear

"NO! It's not fair!" Sounds of rage could be heard form Princess Luna's room. Celestia pushed the door open. When Luna heard the creaking, she screamed, "GO AWAY! YOU'RE NOT WHO I KNOW!"

"Luna, listen-"

"No! You let me be taken by that monster, sent me to the moon and now THIS! You let Twilight and her friends bring me back, but what for? You hardly care, talk or listen to me!"

"Luna, it's not like that, you know it. You-"

"I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR YOUR TALKS! GO AWAY! But… you.. saved me… you freed me… but it was so lonely on the moon.. even Nightmare left when I was there… NO! I WILL NOT GIVE IN! But you're right… But then…"

Celestia had no choice but to watch as her sister slowly became a victim of her own insanity. Luna broke down, a way she found out to get the Nightmare to go away. However, it didn't work this time. Celestia gasped as Luna's coat slowly, slowly turned a darker colour, almost black…. Her mane turned darker, and blue armour appeared as a mist, slowly gaining form.

"I can't believe how easy that was… You never thought that I had left, had you? Ah, how easy it was to get you alone, off guard… ha, without the elements, you're nothing. You NEVER were." Nightmare slowly turned round, revealing a face that Celestia had so long ago thought to be gone forever.

"You're useless, you know. You let Luna give in to me, I doubt you even noticed something was amiss when she didn't eat for a whole week! You don't care for your sister at all… I bet you don't even think about those homeless, sad ponies out there in the streets of Manehatten. If you did, you would have reacted by now. They'd not have to think of those they lost, they could have their wounds treated. However, you let them grow. The pain doesn't go away overnight, you know. Just like you let Luna's grow, let them take over her…"

"You don't know ANYTHING!" Celestia reacted, sending a bolt at Nightmare.

"Ah, ah, ah, sister, no need to resort to violence now, do we? However, I do think that the ponies would be better off without you. I mean, all you do is raise the god damn sun, heck lights were invented for a reason, weren't they? And even Twilight can raise the sun. You know she can. Her power is so much greater than yours. I'm sure that Cadance can too. You just want the fame. You want to have 'power' as you call it. How do you feel now, Celestia? Useless, isn't it? You know that your subjects don't look up to you. They despise you. Twilight? A mere act. She just wanted to steal your knowledge, use it for her own needs. Now do you understand? This is how your sister felt during those years of misery. You can't kill, me, for if you do you're killing your own sister."

Celestia felt beaten. She couldn't process all of these things at once. She tried to fight it, but slowly, she gave in. She gave up. A bright light appeared, and wrapped her up. From the outside, it looked like a bright ball of light. But on the inside, things were happening. Celestia's body changed. Her wings grew larger, the feathers merging together to form a single solid wing. Her coat turned a brighter white than it had been before. Her mane changed, too. The colours ran together, reappearing as red, orange and yellow. The transformation was complete. Nightmare Moon let out a loud cackle. Her sister has returned. The one and only.
