Hello Sorry again I did want this Chapter out before Christmas but my editor, who was helping me write the fight scene had problems with his computer and did not have another one that was up and running correctly.

It took me a long time, but I got a couple of moments of inspiration while I was sleeping and I had to write something. But before this chapter starts I want to thank

WildHeart 1997

and

AnimeRules4

for offering to help me out, if you still want to send me what you have done I can put it as an extra or something at the end of the story, because I will if you do for all your assistance.

Thank you all again and enjoy.


"Mother" Twilight asked tilting her head "Who are these ponies?"

"Oh don't worry my dear Twilight" Nightmare Moon calmly spoke to Twilight as she mockingly smirked at the now torn Luna. "They're just guests of mommy's"

"Oh" Twilight said just softly nodding.

"What have you done to Twilight, you evil meanie" Pinkie shouted accusingly at Nightmare Moon with a pointed hoof.

Nightmare Moon chucked at Luna's expense before ignoring the question. "So are you going to give up? Little, weak Lulu"

Luna at this point was beyond angry, beyond despair. At this point she wanted to charge at Nightmare Moon beat her black and blue and tear her limb from limb. Luna was so furious that her breath had turned into something of a nightmarish beast from the pits of Tartarus. Her teeth bared, she wanted blood.

"NO" was all Luna responded by, her voice sounding like lighting itself, making Pinkie and Twilight jump and Nightmare recoil.

Nightmare quickly recovered from the little surprise from Luna before saying. "You are no match for my and Twilight's magic. So give up"

Luna then lowered her horn, no longer making eye contact with either Nightmare Moon or Pinkie.

"Good" Nightmare Moon smiled, slowly walking up to the defeated Luna. "You know Luna, when Celestia fled from me at Canterlot, I quickly began to think. What would happen after I defeated her, sure I could take over Equestria… but there would be one problem, I would be still in my daughter's body" Nightmare Moon told Luna as she stood taller over her weaker self.

"And so I began to think. What if I could be with my daughter again in my own flesh and blood, to be able to brush her mane and coat, to teach her and clothe her like we once did all those years ago. It was at that thought I wondered that if I could possess my own daughter, then perhaps I could once again take control over my old body… your now mindless, empty body" Nightmare chuckled as she watched Pinkie's and Luna's eyes shoot wide open as Luna realised what Nightmare Moon planned from the very beginning.

"And now I have the perfect means to get rid of your weak essence… forever, and it's all thanks to you and Celestia" Nightmare Moon now started to laugh, a laugh which would send chills down any ponies back, a laugh that an evil master mind would make after defeating their opponent in a game of wits. "So long little Lulu, I'll take good care of our daughter for you"

"You coward" was Luna's simple response to Nightmare's plan.

"What?"

"I said you're a coward Nightmare Moon" Luna said as she looked up into the eyes of her other.

Nightmare Moon's smile then turned into an angry frown. "I am no coward" she defended herself as she slapped Luna with an audible hoof to the face, before yelling into Luna's bruised face. "You were always the coward"

"Yet you hide behind our daughters magic to get me to not to fight you" Luna sneered not even paying attention to the red mark that was clearly visible though her night blue coloured fur. "That plan belongs to the work of a coward"

With a hurt pride Nightmare Moon only sneered at Luna, under no circumstance would Nightmare Moon let her lesser get the better of her, not now or ever. Lowering her still raised fore hoof. Nightmare then turned around, moved back to the cracked stone to where she land only minutes ago and spoke in a furious but motherly tone. "Twilight, take the pink one and leave the castle grounds"

"But mother" Twilight tried to argue only to be interrupted by Nightmare Moon.

"There will be no buts you will take the pink one and leave… NOW! Princess Lulu believes I am a coward… and I will gladly show her otherwise before I end her" She shouted turning to face Luna accepting Luna's challenge for an open duel to the death.

"Princess" Pinkie whispered in deep concern, worried for Luna, as the princess turned towards Pinkie.

"Take Twilight and leave Pinkie. I will personally deal with my Nightmare"

"But princess" Pinkie tried to object.

"Just go with Twilight, Pinkie. Leave me to battle this alone" Luna commanded to the pink pony with deep determination. "This is something I should have done from the very beginning"

"As your will commands, Princess" Pinkie said bowing her head before turning away towards her friend Twilight.

Twilight then led her friend Pinkie back towards the metal gate, which opened for the two of them to leave. As both ponies left Nightmare Moon and Princess Luna glared at each other, each not moving, each ready for any spell that would be cast from the other.

It was Nightmare Moon who made the first move. Slowly moving her hooves so she could carefully move round her opponent, Luna quickly followed mirroring Nightmare's actions. Luna stopped, then Nightmare Moon stopped, then both their horns became alight with magic as a bolt from each pony shot out at the other.

Both magical bolts collided in the centre creating an explosion of wind and dust. Nightmare Moon chuckled as she used her wings to start blowing away the kicked up dust. "Is that all…" she was stopped midsentence as she quickly spotted Luna charging though the dust, horn lowered towards her.

Nightmare Moon barely had time to dodge as she used her wings to fly overhead. But Luna was quick to follow as she used her own wings to take the fight to the air. Luna quickly and skilfully used her flying skills to avoid the entire array of magical bolts fired from Nightmare Moon's horn, each bolt that went past Luna increasingly made Nightmare Moon more frustrated and angry.

"Seem familiar, Luna" Shouted towards the now flight stabilizing Alicorn. Luna just narrowed her eyes and lit her horn with intense magical energy, before unleashing her own barrage of magic bolts.

Nightmare easily avoided Luna's pathetic attack before speaking again. "Remember all those years ago, when we joined together to destroy… our sister" Nightmare Moon spat the words of 'our sister', clearly having a distaste for even mentioning it, while sending a beam of magic towards Luna who dodged. "The only Night, that we both agreed on something" she smirked as Luna sent her own magic beam towards her.

"And it was your twisted words that made me agree" Luna responded as she witnessed Nightmare Moon put up a magical barrier shield to bock Luna's attack.

"Me" Nightmare Moon shouted, quite offended by Luna's remark. "It was your plan, I was only following what, YOU! Wanted"

By now both Luna and Nightmare Moon flew towards each other at frightening speeds, each pony charging their horns for two almighty powerful spells. For a split second both charged spells fired from each pony's horn, once again hitting each other in a mid-air collision with a loud explosion. But at this moment at only a couple of seconds later both Nightmare Moon and Luna slammed into each other, sending each other into a tangled, spinning mess. Both fore hooves griped hard onto the other's hooves, their horns locked together, each preventing the other from using magic against the other, both sets of black and blue wings flapping wildly within the wild, rapid spinning, both falling, each battling to fight over dominance over the other.

Luna used all her strength to manoeuvre herself over Nightmare Moon, forcing Nightmare Moon down towards the earth first. In the last moments Nightmare Moon panicked, she tried with all her might to get out of her fall, but any movement was prevented by Luna's vice like grip on her own hooves. Then only moments from the ground Luna parted from Nightmare, pulling up before she herself would hit the ground, knowing full well that whatever Nightmare Moon tried, she would never recover and would hit the ground… hard.

Luna landed softly nearby, knowing that Nightmare was done for. Slowly she walked up to the groaning and still Nightmare Moon. "This is the end for you Nightmare" Luna said looking down at the unmoving Nightmare Moon. "Your corruption will never hurt MY daughter ever again"

Surprisingly Nightmare Moon just chuckled, before she started to laugh at Luna who raised an eyebrow. "You think" Nightmare Moon started before bursting into laughter, "You think I would harm Twilight, even corrupting her mind. Now that is comical"

"What are you on about you corrupt everything, you took Twilight's body by force" Luna shouted moving eye to eye with her opponent. "She called you mother over ME"

"And she called me that on her own accord" Nightmare Moon laughed into the distraught face of her opposite. "All I did was give her everything she ever wanted"

Luna now was at a loss for words "but, but she broke free from your control when you battled Celestia"

"Oh, well at the time we were still getting to know each other" Nightmare Moon joked as Luna then forced a hoof on to her neck. "She will never be yours ever again… she will never be happy with you"

"NO, NO, NO" Luna shouted angrily not clearly thinking as she pressed force onto Nightmare Moon's neck. And before Luna could stop a loud snap was heard and Nightmare Moon suddenly stopped breathing.

Sense quickly came back to Luna as she quickly stepped away, looking back at what she had just done. Wide eyed Luna watched as Nightmare Moon's body disintegrated into dust, quickly followed by the castle behind her, and then the castle walls until there was nothing left and leaving no trace that Nightmare Moon ever existed or her castle.

Once the castle had evaporated into dust, Pinkie rushed up to the lone princess of the night. "Princess" Pinkie screamed stopping in front of the still shocked princess. "Twilight's disappeared and then the castle just vanished, what's happening" she asked with a deep worry for her friend Twilight.

"She's gone" another voice said from behind Pinkie. Pinkie turned to find Star Swirl limping up to them.

"What do you mean gone" Pinkie asked worried

"Back into her proper place" Star Swirl answered. "Mother are you alright" she asked Luna, who shook her head automatically.

"Yes… yes I am fine" Luna answered quickly coming out of her shock.

"Good" Star Swirl spoke as she gave her mother a comforting nuzzle and hug. "When Pinkie and the latest me came back out the gate I worried what was going to happen. But I am glad you made it"

"What happened to Nightmare Moon" Pinkie asked looking around.

"Destroyed" Star Swirl answered for her mother "Just like the castle, it was her creation within the library; she will never worry any pony ever again"

"Yippee" Pinkie shouted in joy giving both Luna and Star Swirl hugs. "We saved Twilight" then a thought hit Pinkie. "Err now how will we be getting out of Twilight's mind"

"When my sister detects no trace of Nightmare Moon she will pull us back out" Luna said before she started walking to the large book cases that littered the horizon.

"Ok" Pinkie said smiling a big smile.

"It has been an honour, descendent of Surprise Diane Pie" Star Swirl said bowing before Pinkie "I will treasure the moments we spent together as friends" Pinkie responded with a great big hug.

"Thanks Starry" after pulling away from the hug Pinkie noticed the lack of Princess Luna. "Hey where did Luna go" she asked Star Swirl who told Pinkie

"I believe she wanted to be alone at the moment" getting a sad 'oh' from the pink party pony.

Luna Meanwhile wanted to be alone at this precious moment, she knew with the reintegration of the Real Twilight Sparkle back into her own mind; she knew it was only a matter of time for her sister to bring both herself and Pinkie back into their own bodies. But before that could happen Luna needed to find something extremely important within the bookshelves of her daughter's library.

Scanning the bookshelves Luna quickly searched for what she wanted, and after minutes of searching she found it. Soon A brown book with the words 'Twilight Sparkle' written across the front of the book cover caught Luna's eye. Using her magic she pulled the book cleanly off the bookshelf towards her. Carefully opening the brown book Luna flipped though the book until she found the right pages.

The words of Nightmare Moon flashed within her mind, 'She will never be happy with you'. Taking a small breath she began to read from the book, uncovering Twilight's recent memories. Once done reading Luna with a heavy heart used her magic the rip the pages she had just recently read out of the brown book, the book instantly healed itself but without the ripped out pages. Then Luna used her magic the place the book back inside the bookshelf, before using her magic the place the ripped out pages on the stone floor.

With watery eyes Luna cast a simple fire spell at the lose pages. The fire made quick work of the pages turning them completely into ash, and destroying the memories written upon the pages. Luna meanwhile could not bear to look at her work; she simply closed her eyes and waited for her sister to pull her out of Twilight's mind.
