Next chapter! Recap: Night got caught and now so did Pitch and the other Guardians. What will they do?
No! Night thought with panic.
Speak intruders, why are you in our territory? The lead member asked.
"We are looking for someone." Pitch said angrily.
Shade recognized them and leaned over to the lead member to whisper something. His eyes widened slightly before clearing his throat and speaking.
I have just been informed by General Shade that you are allies of a traitor to the Nightmare Forces. This is your one chance to redeem yourself. Do you renounce your alliance to the traitor? If so, you may go free and we will not destroy you, provided by you don't go on our territory anymore.
"Okay?" they answered uncertainly.
They were released and left the Nightmares forever. They never found poor Night who was torn by them rejecting her. Two years later, Night turned 18 and was married to her rival Shade after the Council felt that she'd been punished long enough with two years of isolation from everyone except Shade, occasionally her brother and her servants.
THE END
What really happened: \(^.^)/
I have just been informed by Nightmare Shade that you are allies of a traitor to the Nightmares. This is your one chance to redeem yourself. Do you renounce your alliance to the traitor? If so, you may go free and we will not bother you provided by you don't go on our territory anymore.
"We don't know any Nightmares of yours." Pitch stated.
"On the contrary, you know Luna. Interesting thing though, Luna is not her real name. Did you know that?" Shade asked with a smug look.
"What?" Jack asked in disbelief.
"I told you she was bad news. She's been lying this whole time. I bet she doesn't even have the power to raise the moon!" Tooth said.
Shade grinned. "I think that's something you should ask her yourself."
Night slumped to the floor of her room, her eyes blank.
No…they know and now they'll reject me.
Suddenly two guards came in and surrounded her.
"We need you to come with us." One said in a deep voice.
They each grabbed one of her arms and they teleported to the doors of the council room. Night's eyes widened and as one of the guards moved to open the door. She took this opportunity to kick the other guard where the sun doesn't shine. The doors opened as the guard let out a howl of pain. All heads turned to the noise and Night made a break for it.
Shade dashed forwards at an inhuman speed and crashed into the fleeing form of Night. She tripped and the pair fell through the doors leading outside. They wrestled within everyone's view before Night got Shade in the gut with her fist. He hunched over as she ran at him and kicked him in the face. He went flying back before getting up and grabbing her by the wrists.
He threw her towards the council room and she landed on the farthest wall. She was somehow standing sideways and crossly folded her arms as Shade walked into the council room. He glared at her and she childishly stuck her tongue out at him.
He walked up to her wall and said "Get off of there."
"Nope."
"I advise that you get down here before things start to get ugly Moon."
"How can things get anymore ugly when your face is around?"
"You are going to regret saying that." He said grimly.
"Am I now? I think not."
He just shrugged. "Don't say I didn't warn you."
With that he jumped up to Night's level and grabbed her arm, pulling her down with him. Shade landed nimbly while Night crashed not-so-gracefully into the floor.
"Ow, you jerk! That was my chin!" She growled rubbing her hurt body part.
She stood up and kicked his shin. He yelled loudly in pain before jumping at her. They rolled around on the floor punching and scratching until Night bit him.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAA! What the heck is wrong with you?! What is your problem?!" he shouted.
"You are!" She shouted back.
"ENOUGH." A loud voice broke the silence.
Everyone looked up to see a figure landing in front of Night and Shade. It was Prince Shadow.
"General, that was disappointing behavior out of you. I expected better from the leader of our armies."
"Brother," Night started.
"No. You know that even I can't help you. You betrayed your own kind and now you have to be sentenced for that. I care about you, but the needs of my people have to come before family."
Night hung her head and her shoulders slumped at her half-brother's words. Pitch would've felt sorry for her if he hadn't felt betrayed and hurt because she'd lied.
As Night stared at the ground, something long hidden snapped. Her pupils narrowed to slits and her teeth sharpened. It was small and her hair concealed most of her face. Her hands clenched and her hair started to slowly gain more blue. She felt a small prick of pain coming from where the magic restrictor was on her wrist. She barely noticed as she struggled to keep her emotional floodgates from breaking.
She tilted her head up slightly so that her brother could see the eerie glow that her eyes were emanating. He flinched slightly in discomfort and nervousness and she smirked slightly. But then the glow and smirk vanished and a frown appeared on his sister's face.
"Fine," she said softly so that everyone had to lean closer to hear anything she said. "You win brother. Your people are more important, you're right, I'm wrong as always."
And with that she walked over to a small space near, but not next to Pitch and the others. She didn't look at them, but she could imagine the disgust and betrayal on their faces. She kept her head held high with defiance and her arms crossed. And on her face was and expression that meant many things, anger, hurt, defiance, rebellion and disappointment for her brother.
With a loud voice that carried to every end of the Council Hall, she said "I am Nightmare Moon, former princess of the night, princess of the Nightmares of Equestria. I was stripped of the title of Nightmare, but I do not care. I was banished to the moon during my quest to rule Equestria. I now see how stupid that mission was, for it accomplished nothing except the suffering of a fellow member of the night.
"I no longer support you Nightmares and I am not afraid to admit it. I no longer care what any of you think of me for none of you are worthy enough for me to actually care about your opinions. I no longer wish to be a part of you."
What followed her little speech was shocked silence. Nobody knew whether to feel outraged, disappointed, or hatred for the young nightmare who was supposed to be their princess. Everyone except Shade that was.
"You disgrace us." He snarled angrily.
"And guess what, I. Don't. Care." She turned around and faced the majority of the crowd. "I am a part of Luna, so she is who I belong to. To me Nightmare Moon is not a princess of anything. The word 'Nightmare' in her name does not symbolize rank or power, it shows who she is, who she chooses to be. And I choose to be the dark side of the princess of the night."
Her hair exploded into what looked like the night itself, and large black wings shot out of her back. Her outfit was replaced by her blue armor and the magic restraining band was destroyed by an overload of dark magical power. Everyone could now see her eyes, blazing with her multiple emotions and power.
Nightbringer detached itself magically from Shade's side and flew to Nightmare who caught it in one hand. He grabbed for it but missed and Night smirked.
"I guess we figured out who the sword's true master was." She chuckled.
She then finally turned to the Guardians and walked up to them.
"I'm sorry for lying to you, but you need to trust me if you want to get back home."
"Why should we trust you after nearly everything you told us was a lie?" Lyra asked coldly.
"Because, I still care about you, now run!"
She whipped around and sent off a flurry of every kind of energy blast she knew would hurt a Nightmare. Some retaliated while others fled and all of those guards who are apparently very bad at their jobs charged her. After sneaking a quick glace to make sure that her friends were safe, she jumped.
She hovered in the air gathering all of the energy that was being thrown at her before shooting downwards and channeling all of the energy to her feet. Her landing caused a huge wave of energy that sent everyone in range flying.
Seeing her chance, Night teleported to her friends and then teleported all of them back home.
I don't know how much longer this will be or if it gets a sequel… It all depends on what you guys want and how it plays out, so please leave a review and tell me what you want to see.
