After hours of playing games having fun and eating Apple Bloom heard older sister calling her. Well girls. A.B. said to them. Looks like our fun has ended. Just than. Scootalo heard her parents calling her. Coming! She looks like. Can't wait till my wings fully develop so I don't have to do so much runin see ya. As she left. So long Spike. Said Apple Bloom. Yeah write to us. Said Sweetie Belle I live in the boutique/Solon with my older sister Rarity. Rarity? Said shock Spike. She's your sister? Yes. Sweetie said have you met her? Well Yes. Me and my big bro came in see if the decorations of the town hall were in order. And course your sister did do a good job but she definitely notice my brothers hair was messy due to anther girls actions. So she took us to her Solon/boutique and helped straighten out my brothers hair, and after a back and forth Conversation we left. After listening to him Sweetie Belle said. Well that does help explained why my sister has been in a delusional state lately. She didn't tell me but I did learn she always dreamed of meeting the princesses protégé of Canterlot. That's what she said while we were there. Spike told her.Though. He continued. I don't think he's interested in her or anybody since I told you he likes being in that tower of his. Sweetie Belle. A male voice called out. Coming Dad. She replied. Come Spike times a wasting time to see the princess. Said Pinkie. Coming. And don't worry I'll write. He told Sweatie Bell. As both he and Pinkie Pie headed into the building Spike for unknown reasons decided to look up at the moon. It bright and clear but… he wondered. What happened to its shadow? Hey Spike what are you looking at? Pinkie asked him.The moon he pointed and told her. Oh.. She said in amazement. It's shadow. Spike told her. It's gone. Yeah I guess it is. She said not understanding. Let's head inside she told the small imp. As a large crowd of people gathered for the opening ceremony of the princess.
While Spike was playing with Pinkie Dusk became more perturbed as time passed on. Though he tried to stay and look calm and professional,for the sake of the Princess and Cantorlot of whom he was still representing. But couldn't shake the feeling that something was not right, he thought he heard unusual laughter but couldn't look out the window to see the moon again because of the crowd had started gathering so, he was forced to stay where he was. As more time passed he stated to see some familiar faces. He saw Rainbow up on the rafters fortunately she didn't notice him. Yet. He thought He saw Rarity fortunately she didn't see him due to the growing crowd of people. The Apple Jack's family was there but A.J wasn't present until she and her sister arrived . Fluttershy birds ready to announce the princesses arrival meaning the ceremony was nearing to begin. But where was Spike or Pinkie? He wondered. It's fabulous. Rarity said as she looked at the decor. All her hard work really paid off. Man this is so boring. Rainbow complained. Is this show ever going to be announced. She wondered. All ready? Fluttershy asked her birds. Remember. she told them. Wait till I give the signal. This so exciting we're finally gonna see the princess. Eeyup. Said Apple Blooms brother. Where in Equestria could they be? Dusk worried. The ceremony is about to start and there not here. He thought. Just than Pinkie pop in and said and ask in her usual matter. Hey Dusky did you mess us? With deadpan and annoyed Dusk looked down and saw Spike was there with her. Hey big bro. He said to him. Noticing the Ursa Major plushie in Pinkies hands and,Spike multiple wrist bands and neckless. Seems like they'd enjoyed themselves.He thought. Hey it's the mayor. Someone the crowd shouted only to be shush by someone. As everybody in the building fell silent as the mayor spoke. Greetings ladies and Gentleman.I like to thank you all for staying up.I know it's been a long night. The mayor told everyone. For this will be a day to remember. Oh this is so exciting. Pinkie said unable to contained herself. Dusk on the other hand couldn't shake a bad feeling he was having in his gut. Without further ado. The mayor continued. It is my greatest pleasure to officially introduce and welcome our leader and protector,the sovereign of the three tribes. Princess Celestia Equestrix. Above the stage a small balcony where the sun goddess herself was suppose to show when the curtain opened revealing herself raising the sun with her magic. However when the crowd cheered their applause stopped when when they saw who it was on the other side, it certainly wasn't Princess Celestia,with a few faces in mix with shock and confusion. Is that the princess? Asked Apple Bloom. Her family just stared in silence. Who is that? That's definitely not the princess. Said Pinkie. Dusk stood stunned his mouth was open his pupils were wide with shock. when he saw who it was. In his mind he knew the prophecy had come to pass.
Greetings my lovely subjects It's been long time since I've seen your little sun lit faces. The mysterious woman said. The mysterious woman was tall wore a black and indigo gladiator armor,with the symbol of of the Crescent moon was on her middle of her chest plate and her helmet. Her armor covered all except the face,neck,shoulders and fingers. Her wings black dark as the pteriuge around her waist. In her left hand she wielded a staff which also symbolized the Crescent shaped moon. Who… who are you? Where's the princess. The mayor demanded. With a wide sinister smile the tall unknown woman replied. I am your princess maybe not the princess you were expecting but,one who will be loyal,to her subjects. I know who you are. Dusk shouted. Though he hated drawing attention to himseld but everyone heard him say. Your the Lady of the Moon,otherwise known as Nightmare Moon. The night goddess who long ago was defeated by Celestia herself. After saying that everyone had a look of fear and surprise and said. It can't be. That's just an old fairytale. Who? Pinkie said cluelessly. So he did know she was coming. Said Rainbow. Shocked and horrified of hearing this Fluttershy ordered her birds to fly away. Well well.. Nightmare Moon said. Looks like I'm still remembered after all. Now knowing what she was dealing with. The mayor ordered the guards to to seize her and make her talk of what happened to Celestia. Seeing this Nightmare said. Fools. You think you lay a hand on me? As she weaved her staff causing spreading a dark mist of magic. You have but one purpose. When the dark mist made contact with the Cantorlot guards. To serve as a meal. The crowd was horrified to see the guards bing consumed by the black magic of the night goddess. Form this point on… Nightmare told the crowd. The sun shall never rise again and may my darkness reign over this land for all eternity. With that she laughed but was cut short when someone jabbed her in her on the right side of her face. The crowed was shocked when they saw this including Dusk and Spike. The person who would make such a bold or foolish move was non other than Rainbow Dash herself. Though slightly annoyed by this attempt but The night goddess smiled at the blue wing girl and said. My my who do we have here? What's your name? My name isn't important. Dash told her. What is important is that I'm gonna kick your butt and send you back to the hole you came from. Nightmare Moon smiled even more at this. Rainbow again tried slugger her with punches only for the night to dodge her attacks. Watching this Pear Butter said to husband. That girl is asking for trouble. With him nodding. Rainbow Dash Stop. Fluttershy's cried out. Foolish girl do you actually know who your up against? As Dash continued to strike at her. Guess I'll have to make anther example out you. When she vanished into smoke when Rainbow leaped at her leg. Huh? Rainbow. Said where did she go? Rainbow. Fluttershy called her. Behind you. Looking behind her Rainbow saw Nightmare Monn flying from the distance as she said to her. Now feel the wrath of my power. As a huge burst of energy came out mouth. Seeing this Rainbow brace herself but luckily for her a magical barrier formed around her,though it did protect her it didn't stop Rainbow from feeling all of the impact. After the attack Rainbow fell unconscious with Fluttershy running to her. Seeing this Apple Jack look at her mother and said. Mama take Apple Bloom and get of here. What are you going to do? Asked her father. I'm going to check on Rainbow. As she hurriedly ran towards where Fluttershy was. You saved her. Nightmare said to young wizard that created the barrier. Tell me… She asked him. What is your name? I am Dusk told her. Royal Protégé of Celestia. Again drawing attention to himself but the cantorlot wizard had to stand his ground. Celestia huh? Nightmare said as she flew down. With feet touching the floor she spoke to Dusk in a smooth voice as she got close to him. Knowing what was at stake Dusk readied himself but, did expect the night goddess to do what what she did after she spoke. Well.. She told him. Anything that was once Celestia's will belong to me. And the next thing Dusk knew she gave the most unexpected kiss. Those who saw were surprised and shock as he was,some even gave looks of disgust. Rarity was utterly broken when she saw this. First that monster crashes this important event. Now she has kiss the man who she was hopping to be the first to do what she has done. She thought. Apple Jack who also saw though. Now that ain't proper. To think the kiss that Dusk gave me and ma was inappropriate. After she kissed the royal emissary Nightmare Moon told him. We'll meet again. As she vanished once more. Spitting out the kiss Dusk called out to his assistant. coming to his brother aid Spike asked if he was alright. I'm fine. He told him. We head back to the library. As grabbed his adopted brothers hand as they both teleported away.
Watching her crush vanish along with his helper Rarity wondered where they went. At the same time Rainbow Dash regained consciousness as her eyes opened. Oh Rainbow Dash cried Fluttershy as she hugged her What happened. Rainbow asked. You were almost killed by Nightmare moon. A.J answered. You were lucky that Dusk Shine was here to protect you otherwise you would've burnt to a crisp. Remembering happened Rainbow of seeing of some kind being formed around her. Oh yeah? Where's is she? Where's Nightmare Moon? And where's is that know it's all egghead wizard? There gone both of them have vanished. I think Dusky went back to the library. Pinkie told them. Oh that's right he did he was staying in the library. Said Rarity. Well I don't about you girls. Told Rainbow. But I'm heading to the library. I'm gonna find what he's up to. I suppose I should help stop that evil incarnation from taking over Equestria. Told Rarity. Especially after what she did. Guess I'll tag along as well. Said Apple jack. Hopefully Dusk will have the answer to her before we're all plagued with this eternal night. Coming Pinkie? Coming. She replied while prancing. Wait I'm coming to. As Fluttershy hurriedly fellowed behind. Everyone please evacuate in orderly matter. The mayor said. As the huge crowd ran out of the building. Looking back A.J's mother could see the crowd leaving in a panic she also her own daughter leaving with a bunch of girls. Honey she told her husband. I watched over Apple Bloom. Where are you going? To see where our daughter and her three acquaintances are running off to. Very well Bright Mac. Told her. Just don't be gone for too long. As they left for the ranch,and Pear Butter fellowed her daughter to where she and others girls were going.
