Author's Notes. Hello! This is TheFederationJustice here, I wrote this chapter for you all! It was a little out of my comfort zone, if I had a choice this chapter would involve more Starships and bombardment Rods from orbit. This was an interesting experience, and I will write another chapter in the future. (Hopefully). Anyways, you didn't come here to listen to me talk. Here's the chapter:


Chapter's Cast:

Eclipse ~ Orbit by The Federation Justice

Greg ~ Human in Equestria: A Voice Within by HUNGRYBURGER25

Mike ~ A New Beginning by Kiliani


"All hail Nightmare Moon. Supreme Empress of Equestria!?" Greg questioned, quickly turning to look at Eclipse. He stared at her for a moment, before shaking his head.

"We need to get out of here, any suggestions?" Mike asked, switching his gaze between Eclipse and Greg.

"Well, I don't want to draw the attention of those Soldiers, we will utilize quick and silent movements." Eclipse suggested. No, ordered. Eclipse, to punctuate this, lowered herself closer to the ground and began stepping in the direction they came. Greg and Mike followed, keeping an eye out for any activity.

They were making great progress, but the plan to escape the Village without being confronted was blasted into a million pieces.

Out of the night, ferocious looking guards landed around them, cutting off all avenues of escape. They all wore black and purple armor, which fitted seamlessly across their entire body. The guards had no helmets, however, their wings looked incredibly menacing. They had the shape and texture of a Bat's, and they all carried Shortswords, each made to the highest and purest quality. They almost hurt to look at them. Mike and Greg entered a fighting stance, while Eclipse simply scoffed, and rolled her eyes.

The exact moment they noticed Eclipse, they instantly bowed down as if she were the Messiah. "M-my Empress! I thought you were back at the Castle, what are you doing here?" The leader said, still quivering slightly as kept down. At first Eclipse was slightly confused. Why were they acting like this? Then it dawned on her: Nightmare Moon was ruler here. However, she was Nightmare Moon, if not from a different dimension. In an instant she saw a chance to glean information as to what in the world was going on. In a moment she put on a brilliant façade.

"The appropriate question would be why you are here. Didn't I order you to guard the Castle? ANSWER ME!" Eclipse growled, causing the Guard Captain to tremble in fear.

"I-I'm sorry, please don't kill me!" He squeaked, and Eclipse simply motioned for him to stand. Greg and Mike still stood in a fighting stance, and Greg slowly hissed something only Mike and Eclipse could hear: "Shut up."

Eclipse raised a hoof, and acted like she was going to hit the guard. She heard the word, and turned her head to look at him with lightning speed. "What was that?" She asked, a low feral tone present in her voice. "Wasn't talking to either of you."

Eclipse turned her attention back to the Night guard, slowly pacing around him. "Well. You better give me a good reason to not kill you." She said, flicking her tail in his face as she circled him. "Let's test your Loyalty. How did I take over Equestria?"

The guard gave a shaky nod, "You defeated Celestia the Tyrannical in the Castle of the Two Sisters, as you remember. Celestia tried to pull out those wretched Elements of Harmony, and tried to seal your Highness away on the Precious Moon. However, the fool happened to not summon them correctly... and you ended the fight pretty quickly, in fact. You sealed that False Leader into the burning Sun for a Thousand years. As a result, your radiance reached all of Equestria and you became the true Ruler of Equestria... and several more countries, only the Stallion Empire held on, which you will conquer eventually, I'm sure." He replied, his teeth chattering, hoping his answer was correct.

Eclipse snorted a blast of air through her nose, circling the Guard one more time. "Very good. You may live."

Mike and Greg were still locked tightly into a fighting stance, and didn't react as Nightmare stepped back a few feet, bumping into Mike gently.

"Wait. In this Timeline I defeated Celestia instead of being Banished by her? All of Equestria recognizes me as Ruler..?" murmured Eclipse to herself, "Isn't that what I've always wanted? No. I have Langley now. But... that does sound nice, Doesn't it?

Greg spoke, "We have company," he pointed to the sky.

Eclipse glanced upward, and it took all of her willpower to not flatten her ears against her skull. The true Nightmare Moon has just arrived on the scene in an array of unholy moonlight.

Nightmare Moon landed, no, crashed into the ground. She created a crater, which she quickly chuckled at. She stepped out of the now smoking pavement, and walked towards Eclipse, eyes examining every portion of her she could see.

"Well, what do we have here?" Nightmare said, her voice sounding more poisonous than the fiercest snake on the planet. "Do my eyes deceive me? My loyal guards bowing down to this... lookalike of me?"

Nightmare growled suddenly, blasting one of her guards into shreds. "You seem to have companionssss..." She whispered into Eclipses ear. Eclipse was now beginning to feel fear, something she was not accustomed to. "Well, whoever you are, you happen to be an Alicorn... something that is incredibly powerful, and is reserved as the Master Race..."

Greg observed the two Alicorn's, one shrinking away from the other. He didn't like this, but knew he could not take the hostile down in an instant.

"Tell me, darrlliiiiinng." Nightmare Moon said, "Do you want power? A place beside me? Subjects? Your own land?" Nightmare hummed in fake thoughtfulness, "I acquired these things when I destroyed all of those puny little countries, and their weapons did little to stop me. I burned down villages, tore down Fortresses, and massacred the people until nothing remained! Land for me to claim, I say."

Eclipse seemed visibly torn, her eyes flicking back and forth quickly. They seemed wide, Eclipse was no longer the proud Mare she used to be, she was a cowering Foal.

"You can have all of those things and more, if only you let me tear apart these things behind you. Let me hear their cries of Agony and Despair as I tear them apart, showing how powerful I am! A pact of blood, you could say..."

Eclipse's eyes widened. She wanted to kill innocent people? Well, she wasn't so sure about 'Innocent', but they haven't done anything wrong. What was her goal? What does she do? Massacre entire towns at once?!

Eclipse made up her mind, "No, I won't listen to you! You murderer!"

"Very well." Nightmare Moon charged her horn, and fired the first shot.

Eclipse dodged this quickly, before jumping over the circle of guards and rushing towards an advantageous position.

Eclipse kept running, weaving back in forth to dodge various shots from Nightmare Moon, who was relentlessly casting her magic in an attempt to destroy, or completely de-face, Eclipse.

All of her shots missed, however. Giving Eclipse the time she needed to cast a shield, which absorbed the final shot with ease.

Eclipse lowered herself down slightly, wings flaring in a show of defiance. She didn't even flinch when a beam powerful enough to atomize every single atom in her body was absorbed by her shield. She dropped the shield for a quick moment, and fired a devastating beam of Magic that lit up the area for miles, as if the Sun had returned.

Nightmare Moon had casted her own shield, which deflected the powerful beam into a nearby house. Needless to say, that house (and several houses behind it) were destroyed.

Eclipse growled at her luck, and took off into the air with her large magnificent wings.

She dropped the bubble again, and was grazed by a beam of superheated energy. Eclipse gasped, falling a few feet before getting ahold of herself and leveling her flight. Eclipse returned fire, blasting a crater in the spot Nightmare had been just seconds earlier. She caught a glimpse of Greg and Mike, but was too busy trying to find the Genocidal maniac of Nightmare Moon to really watch them.

In the corner of her eye, she saw a silhouette of an Alicorn. Eclipse fired at it, but her beam was once again blocked by the Nightmare's energy shield. "C'mon! DROP THE SHIELD AND FIGHT LIKE A REAL MARE!" Eclipse yelled to Nightmare, before diving out of the way of an incredibly menacing bolt of Lightning. Her fur stood up on end, making her look like a terrified cat. Pushing this ridiculous fashion statement out of her mind, she dove between two houses, and flapped into the air again shortly before the Houses exploded in a flash of brilliant green light.

Turning her attention back to Nightmare Moon, Eclipse generated an illusion spell. The spell glowed around Nightmare's shield, but was ineffective.

"You Foal! You cannot scare me, I AM A NIGHTMARE. MASTER OF TRICKS AND ILLUSION!" shrieked Nightmare Moon.

"Such power. How is it possible?" breathed Eclipse to herself as she dodged another attack.

Well, she didn't dodge them, just let her shield absorb the blows. She fired a shot back, which tore through another house instead of connecting with her target. She buzzed over Mike and Greg, who were fighting various Night Guards. Eclipse wished she could help, but she needed to keep that Nightmare from killing her... her... Friends? No. Acquaintances.

While she was momentarily distracted, a bolt of Lightning seared through her weakened shield and burned a large portion of her side, causing her to gasp before plummeting to the ground. She slammed into a small river, she quickly scrambled out of the water and put a hoof on the left side of her Body. Blood was on her Hooves when she pulled it away.

"Ow... ow..." She hissed to herself. Before she let herself get too distracted with the agony that was now the left side of her body, she looked around and quickly took off into the air again, ignoring the incredible pain. This was nothing, of course. She had been tortured before, literally. With knives and fire.

She had seen the worse, a little pain was nothing.

Eclipse targeted Nightmare Moon, and fired a single shot that destroyed several houses in the shockwave, but Nightmare Moon, who had an incredibly sturdy Energy shield, shrugged it off. This pissed Eclipse off, really pissed her off. Activating a speed-boost spell, Eclipse shot towards her adversary at mind-numbing speeds. Nightmare was taken by surprise as Eclipse landed only a foot or so away, and fired a beam of Magic. This beam was cut off by Nightmare's own, causing a ball of Magic to start accumulating. Nightmare Moon was in shock, the ball was being pushed towards her at an alarming rate. This Imposter was more powerful than her!

Nightmare Moon quickly considered her options, and found them lacking. In a last-ditch attempt, she chose what seemed like the only thing left to save her from a painful end: the mystic orb that had mysteriously appeared in her chamber only a couple days ago. Struggling to keep conscious as she fought against the pressing magic of Eclipse, Nightmare Moon fumbled with her obsidian-encrusted saddlebag. From the bag she drew forth one of Eclipse's Elements of Harmony. The Element of Laughter, to be specific, which was actually rather ironic. Tapping its crystalline surface gently, Nightmare Moon called upon its incredible powers. With a shrieking roar, the Element blazed to light. In a nanosecond it fired of a sharp bolt of pure power. It struck Eclipse straight in her majestic chest, blasting her backwards scores of meters. Eclipse was unconscious before she even came to a stop.

"There's so many of these damn Guards!" Greg growled, knocking one out and killing another.

Just as he said this, a flash of bright light was seen. They both turned to look as long as they could, Eclipse was on the ground. She appeared to have lost.

"Eclipse is down!" Mike yells, punching another guard in the head, dropping the hostile, "We need to get to her!

Greg nodded, "Let's get past these guards, first!"

However, before he could move, Greg suddenly stiffened, as if something was talking to him, whispering things only he could hear. However, after a pause, Greg recovered and growled to himself, "What do you mean Voice? I can't leave her to die!"

Mike was grazed by a sword, the very tip slashing along his right cheek. He kicked the Soldier back, and allowed Greg to stomp on his throat. The guard sputtered and coughed, before dying.

"One down, fifty or so to go…" Mike grimly, rubbing his cheek slightly when he had a moment.

Mike held his own weight, but Greg did most of the Killing.

Guard after guard after guard died, they stood little no chance against Greg, it was getting intense! Greg tore a sword from one of the Guards, and proceeded to kill the guard he took it from, and several more who had tried to form a shield wall. Luckily, Nightmare Moon was distracted. Or they would both probably be dead. Another few guards rushed forward, screaming in-comprehensible things, only to die in the name of their empress.

Regardless, they were beating back the Guards one by one, two by two, and three by three. They kept coming, as if they were pouring from the mouth of a river. Through all of the chaos, they were gaining ground. The roar of battle still in their ears as they push forward, killing as many as possible. They turned around, and rushed towards Eclipse as fast as they could. Leaping over a dead body, Greg sprinted to Eclipse, sliding against the road. As soon as he reached her, he was Frozen solid. So was Mike. They both dropped to the ground, and Nightmare Moon grinned victoriously.

"Well well well... You managed to defeat my Guards, but you foolishly returned for her when you could've ran and escaped me. Well, I accept your souls as offerings."

Nightmare Moon circled them, eyeing her catch in delight. "I'll splash your blood across the Midnight plains, your bones used for my Throne, your Skull used as a decoration, and perhaps a Bowl for me to eat out of..."

Nightmare kicked the unconscious form of Eclipse, "Well. I don't know what I'm going to do with her. Perhaps consume her slowly, in non-vital areas. Awake."

This caused Nightmare to giggle, stomping on Eclipse's chest. Not hard enough to break her ribs, but still enough to make the Alicorn yelp in her sleep. "Look how weak she is... It's surprising she even put up much of a fight." Eclipse would have stood up, turned around, and bit Nightmare's nose off if she had been capable of consciousness.

Just as she had made her up her mind how to kill each of the three, screams and yells emanated from within the Ponyville borders. Growling angrily at the new distraction, Nightmare whirled to face the nearest guard.

"What is going on?!" she snapped.

The guard shook his head shakily, denoting the fact that he had no idea. Nightmare Moon promptly vaporized him. Just as the ashes of the newly deceased guard settled, a scout came galloping up to her.

"You majesty!" he squeaked, "The Resistance… They're attacking! They are trying to get at the barracks! We cannot get to them though! They are too quick! Leaping from the shadows and then vanishing like wisps!"

Nightmare Moon rolled her eyes and sighed. "I will deal with them. Ensure that these three don't wake up, though I doubt the will."

The scout nodded quickly. Nightmare Moon spread her wings and took off. The moment she vanished into Ponyville, the guard dropped dead… with an arrow in his throat.

Out of the shadows of the nearby Everfree Forest stepped Rainbow Dash, Twilight, and Shining Armor.

"They put up an amazing fight. We need to take them with us," said Shining Armor. The two mares nodded quickly and went to work.

Rainbow Dash carried Mike, and took off from the ground. Shining Armor carried Greg around his back, quickly motioning for Twilight to pick up Eclipse. Eclipse was surrounded by a magical shimmer, and she was lifted off the ground. The trio (and incapacitated Human, and one Night Queen) rushed out of town quickly as possible, only letting out a sigh of relief as they entered the Everfree Forest.

Slowly they made their way down the dark path, Shinning's horn alight to illuminate the surrounding area. "C'mon, I know they are heavy! We just have to get to our camp before Nightmare Moon comes looking for us!" Twilight Sparkle said, a nervous twang in her tone.

Shinning nodded, keeping an eye out into the Forest, squinting to see anything that might be hidden in the dark that they could not see. In the distance, dark looming objects grew closer and closer. Rainbow Dash's jaw dropped, "Uh... Guys? We brought Nightmare Moon with us!"

Twilight nearly passed out, while Shinning Armor got into a defensive stance to protect Rainbow Dash and his Sister. "What are you talking about? Nightmare Moon went into Ponyville!"

"Uh, No. Look at the pony Twilight brought! She's an Alicorn!" Rainbow Dash gulped, "She's Nightmare Moon!"

Shinning Armor gasped, unlike himself as his eyes fell upon Eclipse, whose body was lit up by the moonlight playing through the thick braches of the forest. "There's two of them... How? HOW? I saw Nightmare right there, executing her Troops!"

Twilight regained her composure, "Whoever it is, we need to tie her up. Magical Restraints, Rope, anything to keep that Mare contained until we know who or what she is."

Shinning and Rainbow Dash agreed, hauling their cargo forward once again.

They approached a small stream of water, which had steep sides and treacherous wooden logs sharpened into points facing outwards. Acting as a form of defense. The stream had one bridge constructed over it, which looked like it could be cut to keep the Defense a little easier, and the offense loads harder. The bridge was made out of two spruce trees, laying side by side with Oak planks laying overtop of them, nailed tightly to the logs. The bridge was sturdy enough to hold the weight of Shinning, Twilight, and Rainbow Dash with ease. The bridge creaked slightly as each of them stepped off, quickly making their way to a roaring bonfire that had plenty of buckets of water to put it out if need be located close by. They dropped off their find, which caused a murmur of whispers to start up from the huts.

The population of the small camp – undoubtedly the "Resistance" Nightmare Moon's soldiers spoke of – began to slowly seep out into the night, circling around the newcomers, whispering excitedly as they waited for Twilight to speak.

"I know you all might be a little bit apprehensive about the beings we brought into our camp, Trust me, I am too. These creatures, and surprisingly, this Alicorn, has been attacked by Nightmare Moon. Shinning Armor. Rainbow Dash, and I witnessed the entire fight. They each have incredible abilities in Combat... Mostly," she said.

Eclipse groaned as she began to wake up, feeling returning to her aching body. She gasped as she shot up, "Langley? Langley?!" She yelled, looking around frantically. She noticed Twilight, and froze stiff.

"Who the Hell are you?" Eclipse growled.
