“What are we going to do?” said twilight in a dead worried voice.
Commander reeflock looked at her with his golden-yellow eyes.
“We'll barricade the museum, this will be our stand.
Blacklead, you and Thunder have to barricade the northern flank.
Sidewing, you and Purpleflame are going to barricade the western flank.
Dodge, you and I will barricade the eastern flank.”
With that the night guards started to move heavy furniture and debris in front of the doors and windows.
Twilight called out.
“Pinkie, go to the top of the museum and look if Celestia’s guards are approaching.
Rainbow, assist Flutterschy with her work, Luna must survive at all costs.”
Pinkie bounced happily away and rainbow raced the doors out to help Fluttershy save princes Luna.
Twilight heard nearing hoof steps, she looked over and saw Mooncloud walk up to her.
“Can’t you still move your hind legs?”
Twilight tried to stand up but her hind legs didn’t respond.
“I, I think it’s permanent.”
Twilight’s eyes filled with tears, knowing that she will never walk again.
“Celectia attacked me on a very unstable moment, it’s a miracle I’m still alive.
I could have been killed by being attacked in the fabrics of time and space.” She cried out.
She tossed her font legs around Mooncloud’s neck while sobbing along.
Mooncloud rubbing with a comforting hoof over her back, trying to calm her.
“We have been through a lot Twi, the both of us together. We fought king nighthoof, we defeated the changeling army. You and your friends have overcome so much.”
“But how are we supposed to win now the nightmare has returned and taken control of Celestia, she’s the most powerful being in Equestria. She almost killed me, Appeljack and Luna.
“Not all hope is lost yet.”
“Commander, all flanks are barricaded now.”
“Very well, everyone prepare for battle.”
The night guards scattered over the room, some of them took off with their bat-like wings.
The commander walked over to Twilight and Mooncloud.
“Do you have any power left?”
Mooncloud looked up. “After the attack of Celectia and the transportation of Luna, I don’t know how much I have left.”
“I don’t ask more from you than you can give, I only ask to protect princes Luna.”
“I will.”
“Good.”
Commander Reeflock turned and walked back to the rest of Luna’s night guards.
Mooncloud laid down and put his head to rest on his front hooves.
“There is one thing I fear more than losing you Twi.”
Twilight looked up. “What?”
“Showing what power lies within me.”
“You showed that a lot, think back to the action in the past.
You used your powers a lot back then, why are you afraid of showing it now?”
“I’m not afraid of showing those powers Twi, I’m afraid of showing the power I haven't used yet.”
Twilight looked puzzled.
“What kind of powers?”
“I have always used a positive energy source. The power a haven’t used depend on a negative energy source.”
Rainbow Dash flew back into the room.
“Guys, Luna is awake, but she’s not capable of mending her horn.
She needs help with that.”
Everyone looked over at Twilight.
“But I’m in no way capable of doing such thing, mending a horn takes a lot of energy and requires a high level of concentration. I’m not strong enough now, I need time to gain back my strength.
Mooncloud stood up. “I'll do it.”
Everyone exchanged looks, even Twilight.
“Really?”
“I have to do something that hasn’t ever been done before, but in theory it should be possible.”
“Well? What are we waiting for. The sooner Luna can use her horn again the sooner she can heal herself.”
Rainbow flew back through the hallway and leads Mooncloud to Flutterschy and Luna.

“Where is Twilight?” asked Fluttershy. “Is she ok?”
“Twilight told me she isn't strong enough yet, but Mooncloud has a theory that maybe could work.”
Flutterschy looked concerned between Luna and Mooncloud.
“Will it hurt her?”
“I don’t know, it has never been done before.”
“Can't we wait a little until twilight isn’t tired anymore or Luna is a little stronger?”
“F, Flutterschy.”
“Luna?”
Fluttershy ran up to Luna an placed a ear over her muzzle.
“We don’t have time to wait, it must be done now.”
Rainbow Dash hovered over Flutterschy.
“What she say?”
“She wants us to do it now.”
Fluttershy looked over at Mooncloud. “You will be gentle, won't you?”
“I’ shall try.”
Rainbow Dash flew out the door. “I better let you concentrate.”
Flutterschy followed Rainbow’s action and was on her way out when Mooncloud called her back.
“Flutterschy, you have to stay here, I need assistance while I’m doing this.”
“Oh, okay.”
She trotted back and took place next to Luna.
“You have to hold the horn in place while I try to mend it.”
She looked back at Luna.
“Are you sure?”
Luna nodded weakly.
With that, she carefully took Luna’s horn in her mouth and held it precisely over the remaining base on Luna’s head.
Mooncloud’s eyes lit up with a soft blue light.
He placed both front hooves around Luna’s horn and they began to change shape and color.
This was not the first time Flutterschy saw this, he had don this every time they were in danger or needed serious help.
Normally he changed into a device that could transport them or in some sort of weapon or defense.
But this was something she has never seen before.
His hooves bended around the broken horn and formed a cylinder-like shape.
There was a pulsing blue light escaping from little groves and grates.
The pulsing light reminded Fluttershy of the time Mooncloud smashed through the wooden doors in the Canterlot castle.
Those doors weighed over ten tons each and he drove right through it, like they were not even there.
My god, those doors flew over a hundred feet before they hit the ground.
He had to use an incredible amount of power.
“This might take a couple of minutes.”
Fluttershy was snapped back to reality.
“Oh, okay.”

Rainbow Dash kept trotting in circles which made Twilight very nervous.
“Can you please stop that?”
“Hey! I can't help it, Mooncloud is busy doing some strange untested healing thing and the only thing we can do is wait until he’s done or Celestia’s guards start to attack.”
“I know Rainbow, but this isn’t helping either.”
“I hate these situations, they are so boring.”
Rainbow Dash took off and landed next to Twilight with a sign.
She looked over at Pinkie Pie who had come down from the museums roof and was now chatting away with one of Luna’s night guards.
“So you pony’s drink blood?”
“Yes.”
“O, o, is it animal blood or pony blood?”
“If they’re annoying enough we go for pony blood.”
“So, for you ponies it tastes good right?”
“No, in fact, we drink it only to survive and luckily we don’t need a lot.”
“Ow, poor you, o! I know, maybe we can make it taste better.
What do you think about banana milkshake with blood syrup, or blood cocktails, do you think that would work? Every recipe is to save with some sugar.”
“Pinkie stop!”
Twilight had turned green.
“I cant take it, that’s nauseating.”
“I hope I don’t interrupt anything, I’m not interrupting anything right?”
“Fluttershy! Did it work, did Mooncloud mend Luna’s horn?”
“Yes, he did a great job. Luna wanted to say something to Mooncloud before we were allowed to enter again.”
Everyone raised a eyebrow. “Why?”
“I don’t now, but she sad it was very important.”
“Well in that case we don’t have a choice I guess.”
“Twilight?”
“Yes Flutterschy?”
“I think that maybe, Mooncloud can help you. With your legs I mean.”
“I don’t think that even the most powerful magical being can heal my legs.
Nervous systems are very complex and delicate, it's way more difficult than mending a horn.”
“Mooncloud didn’t use magic to mend the horn, he never used magic to do any of his transformations. He uses another energy source, so maybe he can help you.”
Mooncloud walked into the room.
“Luna wants everyone into the hospital wing, she has something important to say.”
Mooncloud walked over to Twilight and scooped her up.
“Pinkie can you get Applejack?”
“Okie dokie.”
Pinkie happily bounced over to Applejack and helped her to her hooves.
She supported Applejack while everyone walked to the medical wing.
They all gathered around Luna’s bed, patiently waiting for what she had to say.
“There is no hope if we stay here, you al have to leave me behind.
The elements are Equestria’s last change.”
Everyone looked at each other, unsure what to think but Mooncloud was the first to speak.
“No.”
Luna weakly fought back.
“Please don’t make this any harder, there is no hope for me.
Go, and stop Celestia. If you stay here you all will die.”
“There is still hope for you Luna. We can defend the museum.”
Mooncloud’s head lowered a little.
“I only hope that I don’t have to use my negative powers.”
Luna turned over and looked straight into mooncloud’s eyes.
“you’re saying that you never used your power to their full potential?”
“I have two kinds of powers, one that uses’ positive energy and one that uses negative energy.
I have never reached my limit while using my positive power and I have never used my negative power at all.”
“How come?”
“My negative powers are way stronger than the positive power.
I’m afraid that I will become a threat to Eqeustria if i ever use them.”
“And why have you never used the positive to its maximum?”
“Because I have never charged enough energy to reach my limits.”
“Energy, what kind of energy?”
“I can charge myself with electricity, aura, gemstones, magic, sunlight and if necessary cosmetic energy.”
“Which one is the most power full to charge with?”
“The cosmetic energy but to do that I need to go into space. There is not enough time for that. I need a closer place to charge.”
Twilight who still was laying on Mooncloud's back interrupted.
“You said that you can charge with gemstones.”
“Yes.”
“Does it mater which gemstones they are?”
“All gemstones with magical qualities. The more power there is stored within them the better.”
Luna and twilight looked at each other for a few moments and by the looks of it they were thinking the same.
“Are you sure Twilight?”
“We don’t have much choice.”
“Mooncloud you have to listen carefully. Deep in the Everfree forest there is an ancient tomb.
In the center of the tomb is a room where a rare gem is hidden. It has unknown powers and abilities.
We have concealed it for thousands of years. If it would ever fall in the hooves of an evil pony’s it's possible it could be used in a manner that neither I nor Celestia can overpower it.”
“So you want me to find the tomb and charge myself with the gem that could have more power than Celestia?”
“The future of Eqeustria depends on it. The tomb lies two hundred miles north of the castle ruins.”
Mooncloud looked at Luna, then at Twilight.
It looked like he didn’t want to leave.
“Pinkie, make Applejack comfortable on one of the beds.”
Applejack looked at Mooncloud with a combined look of concern and fear.
“Well, what in tar-nation are you planning on doing with me?”
“If I want to get that gem I have to leave you with as much as possible defends. So I’m gone speed up you’re healing process.”
“You know I don’t trust machines.”
“You don’t have to fear, this will be painless.”
Everyone looked how Mooncloud walked next to Applejack who was now laying down on one of the bed’s.
Mooncloud’s eyes lit up in the same blue light as before and placed two hooves on her back.
“Aaah! That’s cold.”
“Please hold still.”
“What are you doing?”
“I’m restoring the damaged skin cells of your burn wounds.”
Everyone but Luna looked in how the burn wounds of Applejack disappeared.
Mooncloud fell back to four hooves and turned to the others.
“I have to go now.”
With that being said he ran through the room and jumped out the window.
Everyone that was left in the room looked in horror at the window where Mooncloud had jumped out of.
Rainbow Dash raced to the window but stopped just outside.
“You guys have to come and see this.”
Who could walk went to the window and looked outside.
In the moonlight they could see something fly away.
“Is that Mooncloud? I never saw him transform into something that can fly.”
“Well maybe that’s something he never used before out of concern, if he hit someone while flying like this he could cause serious injuries.”
“Lets just hope he’s back in time.”

A couple of minutes later a little light danced over one of the hills.
“Oh, look, look, look.”
Pinkie was bouncing in excitement.
“What do you see miss Pinkie.” Commander Reeflock walked next to Pinkie.
“Over there, do you see that little light, what do you think it is? A firefly?”
“No, it's Celestia’s guards and not a little amount. There is probably enough to cal it a army.”
“How are we supposed to stop an army?”
“We have to keep them back until Mooncloud is back.
Sidewing, go scout. Blacklead, teleport to storage site E5 and take all the explosive potions.
Purpleflame, Dodge, you two cover the towers, if anyone approaches, sound alarm.”
Rainbow Dash hovered in front of a window, peering outside.
“Hey Twi, didn’t you mentions once that there lay’s some old armor in the basement?”
“That’s right, I completely forgot about that. Its the armor of legendary Warriors, some of them are enchanted.”
“Perfect because we are going to have our hooves full.”

Applejack was carrying Twilight to the basement door.
“Twi, as of when can Mooncloud perform healing magic?”
“It isn’t magic he uses’ AJ, he used some of his energy to restore your burned skin cells.”
“Let me just tell you that, what he did there felt mighty weird.”
“Yea, sometimes it is, especially now. That healing and the mending of Luna’s horn was something I thought was out of his capabilities.”
“Well, I’m still thankful for what he did.”
“You better tell him that when he comes back.”
Twilight’s own words made her silent. What if he didn’t come back?
“Don’t worry about that Twi, I’m one hundred percent sure he will come back.”
“How do you know that for sure?”
“Because your Mooncloud didn’t give up on anything, just like you and I’m confident he won’t fail if you are involved.”
“What do you mean?”
Pinkie bounced around Appeljack and Twilight.
“Oh don’t be silly, we all know you two love each other.
For how long were you planning to keep it a secret anyway?”
“How did you guys find out?”
“For that you have to thank Rainbow Dash here.”
Twilight looked over at Rainbow Dash who was hovering above.
“What? Like I could oversee you two kissing each other in the fields near the farm.
I mean you two were in the wide open, every pesasy was able to see you two.”
Twilight was blushing red when she found out the way Rainbow Dash had discovered that.
“Twilight, you’re so adorable when you blush.”
“Pinkie!”
“Sorry to interrupt but how are we going to get in? it's locked.”
“There is a key under that empty display.”
“How in the hay do you now that?”
“Believe it or not but I do come here often.”
Applejack got the key and opened the door.
Everyone walked down the dark stairs into the basement.
“Can’t we get some light in here?”
Twilight’s horn sparked to live and gave a soft purple glow.
In font of them stood several armored manikins, representing the now dead owners of the armor.
“Wow.”
“which ones should we take?”
Twilight looked at her friends and then at the armored manikins.
“Applejack, you should take the armor of daring Katrina. She was a brave worrior and was well known as the Earth’s ponies’ protector.
Rainbow, you should take the armor of Lightning Daisy, she was well known for her speed and air combat skills back, in her time.
Pinkie I think you should take the armor of Lilly Catch, you really suit her agility.
And for you Fluttershy, Invisible Flora our also known as the forest worrior.
She basically lived in the woods and protected the wildlife in it. She stopped many poachers.”
The four of them started to strip the manikins of the armor and suited up.
Fluttershy was the first to break the silence.
“How about you Twilight?”
“Yeah Twi, shouldn’t you have some armor as well?”
“Why? I won’t be able the fight anyway.”
“At least you will have some protection, who know what will happen.”
Everyone looked at Twilight with pleading eyes.
“Fine, than I want the armor of Christine. She was the wise one.”
Fluttershy and Applejack helped Twilight with her armor and than they carried her back upstairs.
When they met up with commander Reeflock the sight outside had changed, a lot.
“O my god, look how many there are! I can’t even throw a party big enough for that many ponies.”
“Twi that armor gives us some protection but how do we prevent being overrun by that army?”
Everyone was waiting for Twilight to give an answer but instead the answer came from Flutterschy.
“I, I think I might know someone that can help us.”
No one could believe Fluttershy knew someone that could help.
“Who?
“Discord.”
“What? Discord? How can Discord help us? He is the creature of chaos.”
“I know but he has changed a lot. I think I can convince him to help us.”
“Really, you now how our last encounter went, right?”
“I know is wasn’t the smoothest ride but this is not the time to let the past get in our way.”
“Fluttershy is right, we need to get every bit of help we can. There is just one problem, how are we gonna get Discord here?”
“I stayed in touch with him and I know how to get him here.”
“Really? How?”
Fluttershy opened a window and howled into the dark night sky. “Hooooooooooooooo.”
“And he is going to hear that?”
A cloud emerged from the floor and expanded.
Before anyone could react the cloud exploded and revealed a creature made out of a lot of other creatures.
It ran over to Fluttershy and hugged her thigh.
“Oh Futtershy its been sooooooo long since we seen each other.”
“Its nice to see you to Discord.”
“Oh the rest is here too, a complete reunion.”
Discord snapped with his fingers and everyone got teleported around a table.
The table was decked for a luxurious thee drink.
Discord was wearing a black suit and had circular glasses on.
“Now, to what do I owe this honor?”
“Discord, where actually not in a situation for a thee party.”
“Well, that explains the armor.”
Discord silenced all of a sudden and narrowed his eyes.
“Are you planning to put me into stone again?”
“NO, no, we really need your help.”
“And why is that?”
Twilight interrupted the conversation.
“Because the nightmare has returned.”
“The nightmare? I though you killed it before I broke free?”
“We all though that but now its back and stronger than ever before.”
“What do you mean?”
“It has taken control of Celestia's body.”
Discord’s chaotic and playful behavior dropped.
“I hope that was a prank.”
Twilight remained silent.
Discord looked over at Fluttershy.
“I have caused some trouble in the past, maybe I have something to make up.”
“So you’re in?”
“Yes, I will assist in battle but if it’s Celestia we’re speaking of, then is Luna?”
“She is in the hospital wing.”
“All alone by herself?”
“The night guards are keeping her company.”
“Why is she in the hospital wing?”
“You better see for yourself.”
Discord raised a eyebrow when he saw Applejack carrying Twilight.
“AJ, why are you carrying Twilight?”
“Well euhm, she, she is…”
“My hind legs are paralyzed.”
“What happened?”
“She encountered Celestia in some sort of other dimension.”
“My goodness, even I would never have done such a thing.”

The doors of the medical wing opened as the five ponies and Discord entered.
“What is he doing here?”
“Easy commander, he means no harm.”
“Is that Celestia’s work as well? Did she attack her own sister?”
“My sister has no control over the actions. The nightmare has locked her away in her own body.”
“This is going to be one hell of a fight.”
“Euhm, Discord? She was in far worse condition when we found her, if Mooncloud didn’t mend her horn, she would look like a ragdoll.”
“Mooncloud mended her horn? How did he do that? Where is he anyway?”
“He is of into the Everfree forest. There is a gemstone that will give him more power so he can deal with the nightmare.”
“Well I guess the plan is to hold back that army outside until his return?”
“That’s the only thing that we can think of.”
“How about the elements?”
“Celestia knows where the elements are, if we try to take them than we walk right in a trap.”
Discord snapped his fingers and he reappeared in a set of armor.
“If I join the battle I think its not a bad idea to blend in with the group, right?”
“Of course.”
“So let me think… we have Discord on our side, someone else we can ask for help?”
Discord leaned over.
‘I think I know someone. How about Spike? He has grown to be a bigger dragon now.”
“Of course, how did I forget about Spike?”
Twilight floated a scroll and quill over and scribbled quietly something on it before teleporting it away.
“With luck, he might still get here before the guards attack.”
“Sorry for asking but where is Rarity?”
“Rarity is captured by commander Shieldbanner.”
“That’s not going to help.”
“We know but there’s no way we can free her now.”

The next hour was spent at coordinating a defense strategy against the army outside.
As time ticked by, the army grew.
At a sudden point it would have been fair to say that every guard of Equestria was at the front line.
“There is no way where gonna fight that back.”
“We just need to keep them away from Luna until Mooncloud is here.”
“Well he should hurry.”
A moment of silence fell.
“We better take our positions before they commence attack.”
Everyone stood outside.
Applejack, Futtershy, Rainbow Dash, Commander Reeflock, Thunder, Dodge, Purpleflame, Blacklead, Sidewing and Pinkie Pie stood in a strait line in front of the building with Discord right behind them.
“I hope I’m not to late?”
“Spike?”
It looked like he had appeared out of thin air.
“Wow look how big he got.”
“Care to join the fight?”
Two jets of smoke shot out of Spike’s nose.
“Definitely.”
The ground started to rumble.
Everyone saw a wave of guards roll over the hill and storm straight towards them.
Commander Reeflock screamed.
“CHARGE!”
Everyone sprinted forwards.
Rainbow Dash shot in the air, Discord teleported, the night guards vaporized into black smoke, spike ran over the grass like a wild animal, Applejack shot forwards and ran like he had never done before.
The two groups collided with each other.
Everyone fought furiously but then the special armor showed its special enchantment.
By the way the guards bounced away when Pinkie hit them it looked like she was made out of rubber, Applejack that was already strong, even for a earth pony, fought with the power of ten.
Rainbow Dash didn’t fight, she plowed through the guards like it’s nothing and Fluttershy had the strength of a bear.
Discord’s mind was on a race when he zapped the one weird contraption after the anther to hold the army back.
Spike followed Rainbow Dash's example by using his body as a living badgering ram.
Between the storming army, blue clouds puffed up at random places.
The night guards picked fights on random location, confusing the army.
Even with the amazing fight they put up, it wasn’t good enough.
Small groups made it through the defenses.
Fluttershy was the first to notice when she saw several groups run towards the museum.
For the second time she howled, but this time she was howling like a wolf.
The edge if the Everfree forest lit up in small green and yellow dots.
A variety of normal en timber wolfs ran out the Everfree forest attacking every guard that made it trough the defenses, completely blocking the way for the attacking army.
Things were looking up, until ten minutes later.
Commander Shieldbanner had establish a team of unicorns to take every resistant down.
The group stood in a formation en shot multiple beams into the air that a little later rolled back down.
The magic pressed everyone flat on the ground, allowing the guards to take them as prisoners.
Everyone except the night guards where captured.
They had vaporize into smoke and flown to the museum to protect the Princes of the night.
This was bad, they had lost.
The nightmare would kill them al and than there will be no power in Equestria to stop her.
The whole group was been escorted to the nightmare until every guard pointed there noses into the air when a rumble could be heard.
Everyone was searching the sky, even the nightmare and commander Shieldbanner but no one could find anything.
Boom!
Something had fallen from the sky, right in frond of the prisoners and had left a crater.
Before the dust could settle a large object erupted out the cloud.
A large long metallic devise on wheels stood in frond of Fluttershy and the rest.
Two doors swung open and multiple lasers shot towards them.
Before anyone could react had the lasers burned through the shackles and freed everyone.
“Get in.”
That voice, you could recognize it everywhere, no matter what shape.
Mooncloud, he had made it and now…. the nightmare was in serious trouble.
In a split second had everyone jumped into Mooncloud and the doors had swung shut.
The hole iron construction kicked to live when a deafening roar started to rumbled.
two black plumes shot upwards and the whole thing started to move.
It quickly got up to speed, storming out of the army and towards the museum where Luna still was being protected by her loyal night guards.
Mooncloud locked the wheels and slides sideways over the grass until he had spun a hundred eighty degree’s and skidded to a hold.
The doors swung back open and a group pony’s jumped out.
Not everyone was out of Mooncloud yet but he roared madly.
The wheels spun and tore the grass out the ground and send it sky high.
Spike fell when Mooncloud lanced forwards.
He drove in a large arc and created a thick line of fire to block off the guard army.
The army tried to make a hole in the wall of fire but failed at every attempt.
They tried shields, put it out with water or debris but it was no use.
Every time the flames where dead they just ignited again.
The only way to reach the other side was to teleport in small groups but then they would be to vulnerable.
Mooncloud stood right in frond of his own defense.
He had secured the aria, now he had to fight off the army.
Mooncloud began to shift shape.
He banded and twisted, parts poked out and smelted away in the rest of the contraption.
The army slowly took several steps back when they saw a huge black structure towered above the flames.
Mooncloud had transformed into the biggest thing anyone had ever seen him.
A giant black truck stood on four wheels in front of the fire, about half the high of the museum they where protecting.
The pony’s could feel vibrations when a deep rumble overtook the noise of the raging fire.
After a couple of seconds the rumble changed into a deafening roar.
Mooncloud rolled forwards through his own firry defends.
The hole army ran for there lives when the colossal truck powered towards them.
“Stay put, hold your positions, get back to your positions.”
Commander Shieldbanner screamed as loud as he could but he could barely hear his own voice over the screams of the terrified guards and the truck that climb up the hill towards him.

Two magenta eyes looked out one of the windows to what was happening.
She was agitated at first when she saw Mooncloud had made it just in time but was now completely dazzled to see what power Mooncloud held.
The army had disappeared over the hill and Twilight screamed in delight.
Her horn started to glow and a little later she teleported out side of the museum.
The strain of Celestia’s magical attack had made it imposable for her to teleport all the way to Mooncloud.
In fact she was so tired that she was unable to use her magic again to teleport.
The only thing she still could do was drag herself on her forelegs.

Shieldbanner had not given up yet.
Determination burned in his eyes.
He was making a large detour to reach the museum.
It didn’t madder how long it would take him to get there but he would not let them win.

Everyone was celebrating the victory.
Even the night guards had shown up.
Everyone except Twilight, Luna and Mooncould.
Mooncloud had transformed back but had his eyes locked on the night sky.
Applejack walked over to him.
“What’s the matter? Aren’t you glad the fight is over?”
Mooncloud transformed one of his legs into a big sledge-hammer and spun around, hitting a big bolder just before it could crush Appeljack.
“What in tar-nation?”
A wave of rocks came walling from the sky, threatening to crush everyone.
Mooncloud was quick to react, his eyes lit up in a brilliant blue and spread around his entire body.
A blue bubble swell and covered everyone, even the whole museum behind them.
No one could believe it, Mooncloud had made a huge force field.
The wave of rocks smashed themselves to gravel and dust against the force field.
Commander Reeflock looked around but saw nothing.
“Who’s attacking?”
Mooncloud looked over with concern.
“I think I have the pleasure to fight Celestia herself.”
No one had expected that the nightmare would come here, No one accept Mooncloud.
He stepped out of the force field and was greeted by a bright sphere of light.
“You, what do you think you’re doing?”
“Being the true light in darkness.”
Moonclouds skin covered itself with iron and took the shape of a harness.
Not any harness, a powered harness, over the hole thing ran stripes and dots of blue light.
“You fool, there is no power in Equestria that can stop me.”
Mooncloud responded by shooting a steel cable into the light sphere, causing it to dim at first but eventually it faltered completely, reveling Celestia under the control of the nightmare.
“How dare you to touch me?”
The nightmare took to the sky, trying to free herself from the cable, but before she could succeed mooncloud send a powerful electric charge through it, electrocuting the nightmare.
She was in utter pain and fell from the sky.
Ones on the ground she tore the cable free and stood up.
“You will pay for this.”
The nightmare’s horn glowed and a engulfing jet of fire took Mooncloud by surprise.
“You weak creatures can’t stand a chance against me.”
As a reword for her motivating speeds she was hit on the chin by the ground itself.
The jet was disordered and mooncloud took his shot.
He transformed into a very well known vehicle.
His all terrain rescue vehicle.
Mooncloud charged the nightmare but she simply dodged him.
To her amuse he charged her again and just like the previous time she dodged.
The stood ready for the third time, looking how Mooncloud charged towards her.
She did the same thing like the previous times but this time, Mooncloud had her.
One of the wheels locked, digging in the ground and swinging mooncloud around, hitting the nightmare with his full side.
The nightmare skidded over the grass and coming to a hold just in frond of Moonclouds force field, which gave her the idea to make her own.
A second sphere formed and captures the nightmare inside.
Ones the yellow sphere was settled the nightmare laughed.
“What are you going to do now?”
Mooncloud abandoned his all terrain rescue vehicle and took the shape of the first vehicle he used.
The long truck stood intimidating in the nightmares sight.
“Well, I’m waiting, has your mother never told you its inappropriate to let a lady wait?”
Mooncloud just stood there, not reacting at all.
Eventually he came to life, starting his engine, and smashing himself into his first gear.
He floored it, rushing towards the nightmare.
“Come to mama.”
The nightmare tossed all her strength into her shield, and waited on the moment that Mooncloud would crush himself into her shield.
Mooncloud just powered on, faster and faster until he was just a few meter from the nightmares shield.
All of a sudden, his front changes, a spiked grill slid around the grid.
It looked a bit like the front grill of a steam train, but it was pulsing a blue electric light.
Small electrical lightning crackled along his side.
No one knew what to do, nor what to think.
What would happen when Mooncloud hit the shield?
Would that be the end?
Time slowed down, you could literal countdown the centimeters mooncloud was away from the shield.
And then, when he finality touched the shield, something that no one expected happened.
Mooncloud broke through the shield like it was nothing, he just chattered it.
The nightmare was completely taken by surprise and was hit head-on by a speeding Mooncloud.
Mooncloud drove on and bashed through the other side of the shield.
This looked like a one hit maneuver but Mooncloud had other idea’s.
He made a slide adjustment in his heading and lined up his rear.
The two doors swung open and reveled a charger canon.
The night sky lit up in a blue aura when the nightmare was struck by a giant beam.
Everything wend quiet, only the steady stream of a river nearby could be heard.
Mooncloud had transformed back to his normal self and had his eyes fixed on the smoking crater he had made.
Seconds ticked by without a sign of life.
Mooncloud gradually walked closer until he stood on the edge of the crater.
The ground erupted and Mooncloud was swallowed was a combination of fire and molten rock.
A blackened nightmare rose out the crater half smiling and half crying.
“Did you think I was that easy to defeat?”
Behind her the gained shield faltered.
A moment of silence hang over the hill.
“I guess it doesn’t matter anymore.”
The nightmare looked towards the museum and spotted the night guards with the rest of the pony’s, looking in horror.
“This is going to be so much fun.”
The nightmare flew towards the group with a sadistic smile on her face.
