Previously on Princess Luna vs Nightmare Moon...
"Happy birthday Tia," "Thank you Luna," "Tia you'll always look beautiful to me,"
"Thank you Luna for the gorgeous gift," "I've always wondered what it was like to be banished on a desolate place and worst of all by your own sister," "THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE RULER IN EQUESTRIA AND THAT IS ME... NIGHTMARE MOON" cackling... "I'm sorry Luna but you forced me to do this, again" "Noooooooooooo!"
Celestia awoke from her horrible nightmare panting seeing the moon still in the sky, it had been over a week since Nightmare Moon's return and worst of all it was on her birthday, Celestia walked out to her balcony and looked up to the moon which had the familiar shape of the mare in the moon again, Celestia began to cry tears flowing from her eyes and remembering a certain song her younger sister sang to her, "Does thou want to see the moon rise, watch ending of the day, I have been working so very hard to move the stars into a beautiful array, It's just been kind of lonely all the things I do and no pony seems to care, but does thou want to see the moon rise or we can hangout till the sunrise," and Celestia began to cry even more when she remembered what she said to her younger sister, "Not tonight Luna," Celestia was now crying into her legs because she was resting them on the balcony railing. Celestia looked up to the moon once more and said to herself, "Sister please for give me," she continued to cry long into the night, she finally understood why Luna had turned into Nightmare Moon, she did not give the care that Luna needed when they were fillies and their parents passed away, so Celestia never spent time with Luna when she really needed it because she was distracted by all her duties, causing Luna to grow sad and jealous of Celestia rising the sun and seeing the ponies frolic in the sunlight and shun out her night, Celestia finally saw how many ponies were not out in the night even if she rose the moon, she began to feel what Luna felt so many times over when no pony even saw her nights.
Meanwhile...
"Nightmare Moon you have to stop this, if you don't we'll be coming back here for the rest of our eternal lives," Luna shouted at the taller and darker side of her self, "No you foal don't you see I will never leave as long as you live with jealousy in your heart, we are the true rulers of Equestria and we deserve the throne," Luna snapped back at her, "Your the foal, if I were to let death take me, I shall, for if I am dead then thou doest not have any power anymore," Nightmare moon laughed again, "If you die I take your body and be Nightmare Moon eternally and I will destroy our sister and will take my place as the rightful ruler of Equestria," she began to cackle and fade away form Luna who called out to her, "Damn you Nightmare Moon I will find a way out and I will defeat you and will return to Equestria," Luna was having a battle of her own in her body and soul trying to gain the upper hand against Nightmare Moon, but, her efforts meant nothing.
Celestia had risen the sun and called the elements of harmony together, "Twilight why didn't you stop Nightmare Moon?" Celestia asked with a bit of agitation in her voice, Twilight responded a bit scared, "We tried your majesty, but, for some reason it didn't work and then..." she paused, Celestia grew impatient which she seldom did, "Then what Twilight?" Twilight continued, "Then... she took the elements of harmony and destroyed every single one of them," she looked down in shame, Celestia was not impressed, "That's imposible and I can't believe you'd tell such things to your Princess," Applejack stepped into the conversation, "Now your highness, Ah was the element of Honesty and I saw it with mah own eyes as well, Nightmare Moon used her magic and took the elements from us and stepped on 'em shattering them easily as if they were glass," Celestia was interrupted when a box floated over to her, Rarity was using her magic to show her something, Celestia took it with her magic and opened it and saw in the box was the remains of the elements of harmony, she sighed, "Then this is not good for Equestria, when I banished Nightmare Moon the first time I used the elements of harmony to do so, and she was trapped there for 1000 years, however, this time I used my own magic and it took a lot of energy, if Nightmare is truly growing stronger then I don't think I will be able to defeat her the next time we meet," the six friends all looked at Celestia, then Fluttershy spoke, "How long do you think she will be banished for?" it was a question on every pony's mind in that room, Celestia then sighed, "It's been a week already and without the elements of harmony she will return by the end of the month," a silence fell over the room, shock and question lay in it.
"Curse you Celestia and your precious elements but I stopped that, I crushed them one by one and now no more will they interfere with my goals," Nightmare Moon had built a moon castle where she would stay until she would escape she turned in her bedroom and looked into her mirror and suddenly felt a pain in her, she glanced back up to the mirror and saw Luna in her restored and stronger form, she was a dark navy blue and her mane was flowing much like her sisters than what she looked like before in her weakened state where she was a lighter blue with short hair, Nightmare was taken aback, "It's not possible you can't be real," Luna used her royal voice, "YOU SHALL NOT HARM ANOTHER PONY EVER AGAIN FOR I SHALL SEE TO IT MYSELF THAT I DEFEAT THE INNER TURMOIL WITHIN US AND I WILL BE THE VICTOR FOR I HAVE READ THAT IF THE ELEMENTS OF HARMONY ARE DESTROYED THEN THE NIGHTMARE'S HOST CAN EXPEL HER IF SHE FORGIVES THE ONES THAT BANISHED HER AND I HAVE FORGIVEN CELESTIA FOR IT WAS FOR MY OWN GOOD AND ALL SHE SHE NEEDS TO DO IS..." Nightmare Moon blew up the mirror taken aback scared of what was just said, she was panting and turned towards the Earth, "I will rejoin you at you side Celestia once the nightmare has been drawn from me," Nightmare Moon shook her head and screamed in anger as she realised what was happening, Luna was breaking her curse and Nightmare Moon knew it too, she had to try and stop this because if Luna breaks the curse then she will cease to exist forever, Nightmare Moon had to wait another three weeks before she could return to Equestria and that would at least give her time before Luna would break her curse.
Celestia's dream
Celestia was in mixed combat with Nightmare Moon but she couldn't defeat the stronger mare that was her sister, suddenly she saw Luna call out to her, "Sister when the time comes you have to hug me while I'm Nightmare Moon it will break the curse."
Celestia woke up and was more confused than ever, she repeated the words, "Hug her while she is Nightmare Moon and then the curse is broken," she suddenly realised something she she got out of bed and Twilight to go to the archives with her, "Celestia what's going on?" Twilight asked as she was cantering after her mentor, once they reached the archives Celestia picked out a thick book and used her magic to turn to a certain chapter, she smiled as she said, "Here," and read the page, "If the elements of harmony are destroyed by a Nightmare then they cannot be replaced, but, this means that there is turmoil within the host and the curse can be broken if the living relative of the Nightmare gives her the hug of true love, however, it is very dangerous because the opening for this hug is limited as the opportunity will only last for ten seconds and after that only after a thousand years will the opening be restored once more and if the relative is trapped in the opening before it closes and the curse has not lifted both the host and the relative will be destroyed and the Nightmare will manifest into its own being," after she finished she turned to Twilight with glee, "Don't you see if I get into that ten second opening and giver her the hug of true love then Nightmare Moon will no longer exist," Twilight however was concerned with what the last sentence said, "Yes but if you fail then Nightmare Moon will be here forever," Celestia looked into her eyes filled with concern, "Do not worry Twilight if Luna has forgiven me the curse will be broken and she will return to us and she will be free for once after so many years of struggle with Nightmare Moon that she should return in her more powerful state and then she will truly be free."
A/N: Sorry guys that this is the shortest story my train of thought left me at the station again so therefore this is the shortest chapter please read and review I really appreciate it and if you have friends that are fans then tell them to read the story please I really do appreciate it, but will Celestia be able to save Luna from Nightmare Moon or wil they both be destroyed and Nightmare Moon returns as her own being and plunge all of Equestria into darkness.
