The Chronicles of Luna
Chapter 13
Luna ran to greet them. "I missed you guys so much!"
"We missed yah to sugarcube!" Applejack hugged Luna. "So why did you call us here Celestia?" Twilight asked before looking at Eclipse "Who's that?" As Celestia gave twilight a kiss she looked shocked "What are you doing?"
"It's ok they know…" Celestia reassured her. Eclipse grinned "My name is Eclipse…and you must be Twilight Sparkle..." Twilight still looked slightly surprised. "Hello Eclipse…"
After they made the introductions Celestia led them into her study. "Now I have called you here to discuss a situation of grave importance." She turned towards the window. "The Elements of Harmony will not hold Spectre for much longer…" Twilight looked taken aback "B-But Celestia the Elements are the most powerful force in Equestria"
"Actually…that's not true…" Celestia looked at Eclipse "The elements are ONE of the most powerful forces…Spectre's power comes from his command of the spirits…" Celestia explained what had happened over the past few weeks. "So…what do we do?" Twilight asked obviously deep in thought. "The elements of Harmony can still be used to aid in our fight" Eclipse answered her. "But how?" Twilight stared at the Black alicorn.
"We can use our power in conjunction with the Elements of Harmony" Eclipse replied looking over the holders of the Elements.
After the meeting was over Luna went to her private study. "Hey lulu" Rainbow Dash called seductively from her bedroom. Luna walked into her bedroom only to find it was empty. "Dash?" She jumped as the door slammed behind her. "Hello Luna" She heard a cold voice behind her. "N-Nightmare Moon?" Luna felt her heart sink "But how?"
"I am still inside of you…and I await the moment you rejoin me…" She sneered at Luna
"You're not here!" Luna closed her eyes trying desperately to wish it away.
"I am here" Nightmare approached Luna who was sobbing "The darkness is rising once again…you will join us…whether you want to or not"
"NO!" Luna lashed out desperately, sending a pulse of magic that passed through Nightmare Moon hitting a bookshelf causing books to tumble to the floor. "Haha you little foal I am inside of you"
"Luna…are you ok" She heard Twilight run into the room. "We heard a crash" Twilight gasped. Is Nightmare is gone…? She opened her eyes giving Twilight a helpless look. "What happened?" Twilight was obviously deeply concerned. "Nothing…I'm ok…" She barely managed to say the sentence without sobbing. "Something happened…you can tell me" Twilight gave her an encouraging look. "NOTHING…just leave me alone…" Luna snapped. "Fine but if you want to talk I am here." As she walked out Luna closed the door on her face.
Luna walked out on her balcony, and stared at the moon. "These friends of yours are they really any different that your ones before you joined me?" Nightmare Moon appeared before her. "What do you want from me?" Luna pleaded. "You know what I want from you…" Nightmare gave her a cold smile before disappearing. She went back into her bedroom, and fell into a troubled sleep.
"Luna get up!" At first she didn't recognize the voice. Is that Dash? Ugh it's too early. "Luna get up. hurry!" Dash nudged her "It's happening!" She sat up wiping the sleep out of her eyes. "What's happening…" she saw a red glow coming from the balcony. "Spectre is coming back! Celestia has called an emergency meeting" Luna immediately hopped out of bed and follow Dash to Celestia's study. "This is way sooner than we expected…We don't even have time to prepared" The leader of the royal guard looked quite concerned. "How long do we have" Luna interrupted. "At most we have 4-6 hours before he penetrates the final layer into our universe." Celestia replied solemnly.
An hour after their meeting she saw red mass in the sky over Canterlot grow larger. She watched as guards scrambled to evacuate people and prepare the castle. Is that a carriage? She watched it land in the court yard. A blue stallion stepped out. Aqua! She ran as fast as her legs would carry her down the corridors till she reached the courtyard. She saw Rose, Aqua, and elder Mathis. "How did you guys get here? Luna exclaimed happily. "I summoned then here" Eclipse landed beside her.
They walked quickly into the throne room "Hello Celestia" the Elder greeted her. "Eclipse has told me about you…" Celestia looked at the grizzled old stallion. "I wish we could have met under better circumstances…Even I did not see him being able to escape here this quickly."
Suddenly as they spoke an unnatural laughter seemed to fill the room. "It has begun…" Elder Mathis said calmly. "You thought the elements of harmony could stop the power of the Spirits of Equestria." Spectre's disembodied voice boomed. The group rushed into the castle courtyard. From the orb of glowing red light a gray alicorn emerged. He landed in front of the group an evil smile plastered on his face. "Eclipse how nice of you to join us…now I can kill all of the royal family at once." He stared at Luna "Welcome back to the land of the living…too bad you can't stay" he shot a burst of light from his horn. "Watch out" Eclipse jumped in front of her narrowly deflecting the beam.
She heard Fluttershy gasp as the beam vaporized a building on the outskirts of Canterlot. Celestia and Eclipse simultaneously fired bolts of magic. Luna was shocked when Spectre carelessly deflected them. "Get Ready" Celestia looked at Twilight. "Luna, Eclipse! Fire!" She commanded. The Elements of Harmony and the alicorn's fired huge beams of energy that seemed to light up all of Equestria. At the beams reached Spectre, Luna saw a huge explosion emanate from him before being knocked unconscious.
