Ch. 10 - In the Past: Part 9
Discord used his powers to wreak havoc on ponykind, and the two Princesses stepped up to stop him.
"Why do you two look so serious? Maybe a game of 'pin the tail of the pony' might cheer you two up," Discord said happily. He snapped his fingers and was Celestia immediately saw that he was holding her tail. He started to laugh. The Princesses began to levitate differently-colored crystals with their magic. A rainbow formed form the crystals and Discord quickly turned to stone.
"What is that power that they used? I must find out, or it might be a problem later," Shadow Nightmare said to himself worriedly. The girls became blinded by a light, and when their eyes adjusted, they found themselves in a stone room with two flags on the back wall. On one flag was an image of the sun, and on the other was the moon. They saw Luna on the stairs crying.
"It looks like we're back in our old home. I remember this day like it was yesterday," Luna said sadly. Shadow Nightmare walked towards the crying Princess.
"Hello, Luna," Shadow Nightmare said, his voice calm.
"Who are you?" asked Luna worriedly. Her horn glowed a dark blue, ready to fight.
"I am Shadow Nightmare, and I'm not here to hurt you. I'm here because I know what it's like to be hated by ponies, so if you'd like, I can give you the power to help ponies to see you, and not just your sister. What you say, Luna?" Shadow Nightmare asked kindly. Luna looked as though she was in deep thought.
"If you can help, then yes. I would not mind," Luna said hopefully. Shadow Nightmare's body became smoke-like and flowed into the Princess's body. Celestia walked in to see why her sister had not lowered the moon when she saw the smoke covering Luna.
"Luna, what's going on?" Celestia asked worriedly.
"It's simple, sister. I'm no longer going to be in your shadow, for the night shall last forever," Luna said, determined. Her body turned into something darker. Her mane was no long a light blue. It was a deep blue, and bluish-silver armor covered her body.
"Please stop this, Luna," Celestia said sadly.
"I'm no longer your sister. I am Nightmare Moon, and soon, I shall be the only ruler of Equestria," Nightmare Moon said, sounding determined as she attacked Celestia. As the fight went on, the two destroyed the castle. Celestia fell through the roof, and before Nightmare Moon could attack again, she used the power of the Elements of Harmony to defeat her little sister. Celestia crying was the last that the girls saw before they found themselves back on the moon where they saw their friend on the ground, bleeding.
"Black Crescent!" they yelled as they went to him.
"How you guys doing here?" Black Crescent asked, sounding pained.
"We're here to help you, of course. Don't forget that we're you friends. We're here to help," Twilight said sadly.
"Yeah. I guess so. I'm sorry. I thought that I could handle it on my own," Black Crescent said sadly.
Until next time. Please review or PM.
