Come on get it together. Dusk told himself well trying to catch his breath. What's the matter? Has Celestia's top student already tuckered out? Nightmare Moon mocked. As she hovered above him. Shall we call it a night? Or do you want to continue your foolish attempt to fight with me? And try to snatch the Elements that once imprisoned me?Dusk's body was aching from the long fight but,he wouldn't let Equestria nor his mentor fall into the hands of the nightmare goddess. After catching his breath and with little magic Dusk once again engaged with the princess of nightmares. Levitating himself as he Charged forward at her preparing for a frontal attack. Seeing this Nightmare Moon couldn't help but admire Celestia's pupil for his courage but,she let herself snicker for his foolishness. Just when It seemed Dusk was about to strike when he got close he unexpectedly vanished. What?! The nightmare goddess said confused as she looked around. Where did he… She left the sentence unfinished where she saw Dusk where she placed the Elements of Harmony,the only thing that could defeat her. With the elements now at his disposable the five spherical shaped elements levitated off the ground though 6 were needed to defeat Nightmare Moon. But all Dusk had to do was to charge the 5 elements with his magic and the the 6th would appear. No! The Nightmare yelled out. As the elements absorbed Dusk's magic it seemed like his plan to defeat the Night goddess was coming into fruition. That is until the elements themselves started breaking apart one by one. What? No! Dusk said as Nightmare Moon notice what was happening. The Elements once powerful gems to bring balance in Equestria We're now fragments of dust on the old castle floor. With this Nightmare moon burst out laughing. Heh heh heh ha ha! Looks like after all this time the elements themselves have worn out. As she continued her mocking laugh. Seeing no other alternative Dusk yelled out. No! Even without the elements I will see to your end. Really now? Nightmare questioned. Charging what little magic he had left into his staff Dusk levitated off the ground once more as he prepared for a final assault on the moon goddess. After a intense moment and a blinding flash followed by a deafening boom.Dusk found himself lying on his back as debris and rocks fell onto the floor. With all this Dusk could only hope his last magical attack against Nightmare Moon would wound or at least weakened her. But as the dust settled Dusk could see Nightmare Moon walking towards him as if she going for a stroll. She hadn't been wounded nor weakened by his last attack, but already worn from the fight Dusk could do little when she approached him and grabbed him by the collar of his coat. Well well looks like I'm the undisputed winner. She mockingly told him. But don't worry. She said in a soft tone. You've proven yourself to be a true man and a true warrior. So this point forward whenever the time is you will please me when ever I need pleasure. She started to snicker but that's when they both heard someone yell… Dusk! Out of the darkness both saw 5 girls come rushing into the room. Dusk couldn't believe it. It was the 5 girls he met earlier that day. But.. how? He thought to himself. Put him down now. Said the blonde girl in the cowboy hat said. Yes take your filthy loathing hands off of him. Said a girl with purple hair. R..r.. Dusk tried to say her name but was unable to speak. You foolish girls you came all this way for him? She mockingly said to them. Perhaps I should remind you what I truly capable of as she pointed her magical staff at them. But before she could enact her spell Dusk used what little magic he had left and formed a barrier around them. Hey! What's happening? A girl with rainbow like hair said. Just than Nightmare cast her wicked spell.hitting Dusks Barrier in the process, causing yet anther explosion that shook the whole room.
(One day earlier)
"This is great I've never seen Moon Dancer place before. Yeah I'm glad to…Though but does she know that "He"might not show up. Who? You know "HE". The one with his nose in the book. Almost never talks to anyone unless it involves the subject he's currently doing or researching. The one who magic blast that famous photographer. Oh you mean the princess royal protégé. Yeah but… Why did he blast her again?From what I've heard she tried to take his photo without his consent since no one as ever had a photo of him since he's a bit public shy. And a little camera shy. The third girl said to them. But getting back to moon dancer party. The first girl said. I think we have a much better chance of seeing that guy you just mentioned at a royal event or museum than seeing him at the party. The second girl told her. I've heard he's reading outside today. The forth girl chimed in. As they all headed headed to the party. Really? Said the first girl. That's a bit surprising since he rarely leaves that tower home of his. told the second girl. I think his assistant or brother wanted him to get some fresh air for once. So he's not in his tower he's somewhere out here reading whatever book he brought with him.The forth girl told. look! Said the third girl.I think I see him. She pointed to her friends. Looks like he's in a hurry with the way he's running. Said the second girl. Do you think it's possibly he's running because of the party? Or is it possible he even knows or cares? She asked the third girl. Well I guess we're all about to find out. Said the first girl. Stand side by side so he won't be able to avoid us. as all three of them complied as Dusk got closer as he ran. While running Dusk stopped in his tracks when all of the four girls stood in his way. He gave an annoyed look at them but before he could speak. The first girl of the friend group said to him. Hey it's you. I see that your out of that tower of yours. Does that mean that you remembered the party? Party? Dusk said questionably with his look of annoyance turning into distain. I don't have time to parties I have to get back to the tower to research something. Now if you excuse me I'm in a hurry. As moved himself in between the girls as he continued running back to his home. Looking back to her friends the first girl said. Well we tried. As all of them looked in the direction where Dusk was running off to. Looks like what he's wants to research what might be life and death. Said the third girl. Or that's what he believes. One of them replied. Just hope she's not expecting him otherwise this is going to be one awkward party. In the tower a small imp finally got done wrapping the gift he was going to present. Now all I have to do is make it there. He said. I hope big bro hasn't…. He started to say when the door suddenly and abruptly opened. Now crushed between the wall and the door the imp could barely move let alone talk as he heard his name being called. Spike? Spike! He let out a groan hoping it would get the attention of the of person calling his name. After few uncomfortable moments the door that encased him to the wall was pulled away. And the gift that was in his hands fell to floor damaged upon impact much to his disappointment. There you are. Dusk said to him. And what is that? He ask Spike pointing to the now damaged present. Well…. He explained. It was my gift for Moon Dancer for her party. said to him in a annoyed tone. We have no time for that. But we we're on a break. Spike tried saying to him. But to no avail. Spike saw Dusk was looking for something and he asked for what it was. I'm looking for a book titled Prophecies and predictions. Hmmmm spike thought. I think I know where it is as he got on top of a ladder. Going over each book before finding the book that Dusk wanted. While still searching on his own Dusk felt a tug on his coat which he turned his head to his assistant holding the book for him. Thanks he said to his assistant before flipping the pages of the book. Say big bro. Spike said to him. What is it are you looking for. I'm trying to look up the woman on the moon. Woman on the moon? Yes I came across it while reading outside. Here it is. Dusk pointed on his book. As both read. The woman of the moon. A powerful Cannibalistic goddess that was defeated by the Elements of Harmony not long after the formation of Equestria. That's interesting. Spike told Dusk but asked. What are the Elements of Harmony? No idea. Dusk replied. But right here…Dusk showed his assistant. It says after nearly being imprisoned a thousand years on the moon,on the longest day of the year. Which is… The summer sun celebration. Spike told him. Well when's that? Dusk asked him. I believe its tomorrow. Tomorrow?! Dusk said shocked. Yeah. There having it in Ponyville. Big bro? Spiked asked worryingly. But Dusk wasn't listening as he looked more closely at his book. Spike wanted to see what he was reading and Dusk pointed and he read. On the longest day on the thousandth year, the stars will aid the escape of the lady of the moon who is also called Nightmare Moon? And upon her arrival her presence will bring upon a region of darkness across Equestria and world where she'll vanquish the sun! Looking at his older brothers face it was pale white. Dusk was unable to speak let alone move after learning of the on coming event. Dusk?Spike called his name. Big bro? Come on snap out of it. As stood on the desk chair and stated slapping his face repeatedly until his two arms were grabbed and held tight when Dusk shook his head out of his shock state. After releasing his assistant. Spike was worried he was going to get a rebuke after what he did but Dusk ordered him to get a pen and a scroll as he wanted him to write a letter to the princess. After writing the letter and checking for errors the green haired imp blew his green fire where it was magically sent to the princess herself. After which Spike told his adopted brother it will probably be awhile before the princess could read it since the Summer Sun festival is one of the busiest times of the year. And after much squabbling between the two Spike felt burping sensation coming on,as he belched his green fire with a scroll coming out written by the very princess herself. With small smile Dusk said to his pointy ear assistant. Told you she had faith in me. turning round Dusk asked his brotherly assistant what the scroll says. As he told him. Now I'm sure it says that she's aware of the situation and is planing an evacuation on that small town and is taking preparation's to defend Equestria. Right? He asked his assistant when he looked at him. So what does it say? Dusk asked Spike. I think you should read this. Hmmm? Dusk said confused. After being handed the scroll Dusk read first part of it which read. Get a life. What?! Oh boy this won't end well. Spike said to himself as he left the room leaving Dusk to the scroll all by himself. Not too far away outside of Dusk's home guards were guarding, one of the many entrances to Celestia's castle. Suddenly the two of them became alert,when they heard a loud scream. Coming from one of the buildings. They soon realized it was the one that it was the princess protégé was living at. Boy I tell ya… The left guard telling the right guard.I heard from one the other guards that the captains brother had strong lungs now I believe it. Yeah but what is he screaming about? The right guard asked. I don't know. The left gaurd answered. But I bet it's something about the Princess. Should make an interesting meal Conversation.The right gaurd told.
(The next day)
I can't believe this. Dusk said as they waited at the royal transport. As the Celestia's royal servants packed their things for the trip to Ponyville. Great this my award for being a good student? Loyal to the princess,warning her about the possible dangers that might plague Equestria! Dusk said in frustration. Come down big bro. Spike trying calm his older adoptive sibling. I'm sure there's no need to be angry I'm sure the princess has her reasons for sending us to where were about to go just have a little faith. Before Dusk could respond he and his assistant heard a familiar female voice repeating what Spike just said. Yeah just have a little faith. When Dusk heard that voice he became very disturbed, his face changing from angry to agony. Oh no. He thought . Not her anyone but her. Not on a day like this. Dusk didn't want to need to turn around knowing who she was. Hey I didn't know you were coming here. Spike said in the direction of the voice. Dusk. Spike said to him. It's…I know who it is. Dusk said to him. In annoyed tone. So what brings you here? Wanted to say to say goodbye us,and wish us luck. Well yes. The female voice said. I did come to wish you guys off and to enjoy your stay in Ponyville butt.. She said and looked at Dusk though he didn't turn around. Doesn't feel good to leave your tower for once. She asked him. But Dusk was silent. Well since you're not going to talk I guess it's…NOOGIE TIME! She grabbed Dusk's head and started rubbing the the top of her right hand fist on the top of his head. Stop that! Dusk yelled as pulled away to get free. Oh come on lighten up. Can't your older sister of the royal guard have a little fun? Well Captain of the royal guard. Spike told her. Yep that's me. She said as she looked back over to her younger brother. After a few moments Dusk finally looked at his sister Gleaming. Also known in her full name Gleaming shield. Who was wearing the the traditional golden royal knights armor but since she was the captain. Her colors were mix of gold with violet lining with the symbol of the royal symbol in the center of it along with a Violet cape. Her helmet that she wore was simpler in in color with violet crest on top. Placing her hand on her Brothers shoulder Gleaming asked. So? Are you excited of being sent off to a town you've never been before? Knowing full well her brother didn't like what was transpiring. Dusk didn't say anything. With the look of distain on his face. Wanting to avoid any tension Spike said. I'm excited. I wonder how the people of Ponyville celebrate the coming of the Summer Sun rise. Probably just like we do here. Dusk answered him. Except your finally going to participate just like them and witness the glorious sun rise when Princess Celestia makes her grand entrance.Gleaming told him. That's what I hope that will happen. Thought Dusk. Will be gone for only a day. Dusk told his sister. I know but at least your no longer constantly being inside that tower of yours. She told him again. I was outside yesterday. Dusk told her. Yeah but how long were you outside? Over One hour at least reading a book before rushing back home. Told Spike. Really? That long huh? Gleaming sarcastically said. Almost sounds like new record. She joke. Well..I did hear you skipped out on a party you were invited to. The girl hosting it was a little upset when you were in no show. Making it a little awkward for her friends who'd actually showed up. She even wore a new dress that she bought to show off. Fortunately they managed to get things under control otherwise all the party guests would've showed up for nothing than tears and drama. Getting more agitated by this Dusk stood straight,and firmly told his sister. Not my concern. I was busy trying to research something important,then of course Celestia set me that letter of hers. I so upset that wasn't willing to do anything else. He's right about that. Spike told Gleaming. I couldn't even get him to eat because he was so upset. Yeah about that letter you sent what was that about? Ask his older sister. It was about a prophecy of the Lady of the moon. Dusk answered. Who is destin to come tonight.He continued. Lady of the what now? Gleaming said puzzled. Now looking in his sisters eyes Dusk said to her. It's a prophecy that the lady of the moon also known as Nightmare Moon well escape after her thousand year of impressment on moon and bring darkness across Equestria and the world. And it's going to happened tonight. Equestria is in danger! With a weirded out look Gleaming shook her head and said. Well prophecy or not your my younger brother and I know like me and you'll do a lot to do and serve your best to Celestia and want to keep her and the whole kingdom safe but.. She told younger brother. I still feel you should leave Canterlot to experience places elsewhere alright? Dusk again went silent. I should also note I heard your "little scream" of protest yesterday,and so did many of the guards as well. They had a great time discussing about it thats for sure,and I'm sure if mom and dad were here they would agree with Celestia's methods. Dusk was silent with a moody look. So don't just do this for Celestia do it for me and our parents. Alright you're all set. Said one of Celestia's Servants. But before Dusk could even walk away Gleaming caught his arm preventing him from moving. With a sigh he said. What you want now? He asked her. I wanted to tell you is to not act immature your representing Cantorlot after all "Mr Emissary". And don't cause trouble with your magic like you did with that photographer. Well I wouldn't have blasted her if she just took a no for an answer and just leave. Dusk told her. So don't worry I won't make a fool out of myself or Canterlot. As he pulled his arm back. Yes but hold told her little brother. Her face becoming saddened. What's wrong? Dusk asked her. Well even though we were born in this capital city it's still hard to believe, even though our parents loved us and treated us well… And your point being? Dusk asked her. Impatiently wanting to leave. Well not even they didn't expect us to have high positions in Equestria I captain of the royal guard and you the princess personal royal protégé who would've gussed right? Yeah. Dusk said scratching his head. Look I know you're still recovering from… Don't say it! Dusk told her. And if you're done I'll be… One more thing. Gleaming said while Grabbing her brothers coat and taking off her helmet,Revealing her dark blue hair with moderate blue streaks before kissing her brothers fore head. Now safe travels. Dusk groaned at this. And to you to Spike. Bye Gleaming. Spike said to her. Well see you soon. As the two brothers boarded the transport It started lifting off. Looking down Spike weaved goodbye to Gleaming as Dusk just stared down at her until Spike elbowed him causing the Cantorlot emissary to at least give an opened palm non weave to his sister while the transport went on its way.
