Chapter 2:When Love Dies
The ponies all stood still, except for Luna who took a few weak steps towards Agenta. "You will not take another
step towards Nienta or so help me I will shatter you like a window."
Argenta let out a wicked laugh. "In your state, you'd be lucky if your magic tickled me. And besides, I'm not here
to harm Niente, I'm here to take my throne." In a flash of silver Argenta was from her place by the doors to the trones
steps. She walked up the steps of the throne and sat in as if it were hers all along. "Ah, yes, very nice. I see why you
enjoy this seat Celestia."
Celestia stepped forward. "Remove your self from the throne, you are not worthy of it."
Argenta let out an even louder laugh than before. "Yet you are. You send simple earth ponies, pegasi, and unicorns
to face problems that you just don't want to do. You sent your faithful student Twilight Sparkle to face the embodiment of
disharmony, putting her at deadly risks and you did nothing to even help. And you say I'm not worthy. You are a disgrace
to the throne."
Cadance shot a beam of light blue magic at Argenta. Cadance had no intention of hurting Argenta, only blinding her.
The beam of light stopped two whooves in front Argenta. "What a pittiful display of magic." Argenta shot the beam back at
Cadance. The light not only blinded Cadance but also tossed her back into the table with a snap. Twilight glared at Argenta
with a stare that would have made another pony run in terror. "I woudn't spend your time looking at me, you should be over
there helping your friend. You don't even have a healer any more." Zecora was engulfed in a silver light and thrown against
the back wall, then landing on the floor, not movng.
Twilight rushed to Cadances side. Cadance lifted her head, tears covering her face. Her eyes were milky white.
"Twilight is that you?" Twilight stroked Cadances mane.
"It's me Cadance."
Cadance smiled a sad smile. "Good."
Twilight heard Celestia shouting. "You can not enter my kingdom, claim my throne, and harm my niece."
Argenta looked board of Celestias shouting. Her horn glowed silver. "Hush your self." And all of a sudden Celestia
collapsed where she was standing. It was Luna who then began crying.
"Twilight!" Luna screamed. Luna picked up Nienta withher magic, the colt crying as loud as he could. Nienta floated
over to Twilight and was slowly laid on the floor next to her. "I'm sorry for what I'm about to do. Please remember me."
Tears streaked quickly down Lunas face, yet she held a stern look. The stain glass window dipicting Twilight defeating
Tirek shatterd, letting in the light of the moon. Black smoke crawled through the window opening, circling Luna. It circled
her faster and faster, then became a shpere that completely covered Luna. The sphere exploded and standing before them was
NightMare Moon.
The cackle of NightMare Moon came forth. "Are you ready for a true fight you bucking horse." A large blast of dark
magic shot towards Argenta. This time it was too powerful for her to stop, and it blasted her through the throne, rubble
collapsed on top of Argenta. Twilight stared in horror at NightMare Moon.
"Twilight, whats happening?" Cadance asked.
"Nothing you'd want to know about Cadance."
An explosion erupted from the destroyed throne scattering the rubble across the room. Argenta shook stone from her
mane. "I kind of felt that one." A blast of silver magic landed in front of NightMare Moon sending her flying across the
throne room. NightMare thuded to the floor, a wing snapping, spraying black blood on the red carpet. Argenta turned towards
Twilight and Cadance. "This is going far too slow." Her horn glowed silver, and Cadance cried in pain. Blood dripped from
her muzzle.
"Stop. Stop hurting her." Just as Twilight said it Argenta was trown against the wall behind the throne. NightMare
Moon trotted over to Argentas limp body but as she approached Argentas body warped and faded, then NightMare Moon was
blasted through the wall and sent nto the streets of Canterlot.
Argenta slowly trotted over to Twilight and Cadance. "I'll take the colt now."
Twilight looked up at Argenta. "You will never have him!" Twilight blasted the roof above Argenta, burying her in
stone and glass.
"Twilight?" Cadance said weakly.
"Yes Cadance?"
A single tear streaked down her face. "Sing the sun shine song."
Twilight began. "Sun shine, sun shine... Lady bugs awake," Twilight choked. "Clap your whooves and... give a little
shake."
Cadance smiled. "Thank you Twilight. Don't worry I'll be with Shinning now." Despite being blind, Cadance closed
her eyes and her body went limp. Twilight pressed her face into Cadances neck, crying as hard as she ever had, all the
while begging her not to leave.
