Mooncloud.

The nightmare was about half way when something grabbed her hind leg and started to burn it.
She screamed in pain and looked in disbelieve when she saw a red hot glowing chain around her leg, that ran back to the pool of lave she had created.
She flapped her wings furiously, trying to break free but is was no use.
The chain was pulling her in, closer and closer to the lava.
The heat was unbearable, the hot air burned in her lungs and stung in her eyes.
The chain stopped pulling in and came to a hold.
The blue shield that just moments ago disappeared reappeared.
Slowly something rises out the lave, it glowed like the chain did.
Rainbow Dash had took of in to the air to see what was going on and screamed in delight and disbelieve.
“It’s Mooncloud, he just survived that freaking lava, so awesome!”
“Rainbow, this is anything except awesome, he’s still in danger.”
By the time Applejack and Rainbow Dash were done arguing they looked back and could see Mooncloud still red glowing slowly raise into the air.
“How did you survive that?
“Underestimating your enemies is a big mistake.”
Mooncloud transformed a leg and started shooting.
From a distance it sounded like a bunch of small explosion.
The nightmare took a couple of hits before she had a shield up.
The nightmare’s wound’s closed and seemed to heal in hardly seconds.
Mooncloud knew, if he wants to defeat the nightmare he had to bring out the big guns.
Mooncloud changed once more, this time in a hovering chunk of metal with to disks rotating at dazzling speed.
Even as Mooncloud wasn’t shooting, it sounded like so.
An even rhythm of bangs echoed through the night.
Small light flashes flickered when heavy bangs overtook the soft rhythm of the spinning disks.
With every impact the shield of the nightmare arced but held.
Until Mooncloud shot something else.
A larger tube-like object detonated on the shield causing it to implode and sending the nightmare straight to the ground.
Mooncloud went in pursuit and took his normal shape back, but quickly created his armor.
The nightmare shot forwards and graded mooncloud by the head, dragging him over the ground leaving a deep trial.
Mooncloud freed himself by sending a electrical charge through the nightmare’s bobby.
Both rolled to a halt but Mooncloud was the first to get back up and took the opportunity.
In the blink of a eye was Mooncloud on top of the nightmare, delivering a series of well coordinated hits.
Regardless of the beats, the nightmare had somehow managed to charge a spell and fired it.
First Mooncloud was hit two storey’s high and was then greeted by a wave of ice cold air.
The nightmare laughed when a block of ice fell out the air.
“If I have learned one thing in this fight, than it’s to not leave you alive.”
The nightmare moved closer to the ice raising a hove and striking down.
On impact the ice explodes outwards, like a huge amount of air was compressed inside.
The chards of ice acting like glass, cutting into everything they met.
The nightmare backpedaled and fell over.
The cuts that run over the front side of her body healed within seconds.
The nightmare got up and looked over at Mooncloud, who was steaming like a train.
Mooncloud and the nightmare went hove to hove, without magic or transformations.
Like barbarians they fought, giving each other a equal amount of hits.
Every time the nightmare hit, she dented the armor of Mooncloud and every time Mooncloud hit the nightmare, the wound healed in seconds.
It went back and forwards until Mooncloud delivered two hits to the head, monetarily unbalancing the nightmare.
Mooncloud shot forwards, grabbing the nightmare and smashing her on the ground, creating a imprint on the grass.
Next Mooncloud climbed on the nightmare, holding her down.
She furiously trashed, trying to kick Mooncloud of her but it was no use.
Mooncloud raised his hove behind his head and brought it back down with to force of a bomb going of, pressing the head of the nightmare deeper in the ground with each hit.
Every time Mooncloud brought his hove down he screamed.
“THIS ONE IS FOR LUNA.”
Boom!
“FOR APPLEJACK.”
Boom!
“FOR TWILIGHT.”
Boom!
The nightmares skull crushed under the immense pressure of Mooncloud’s hits.
Somehow, despite the terrible pain, the nightmare had charged het horn and blasted Mooncloud of her.
While her skull kitted back to getter and her brushed face retook it’s shape looked the nightmare around, hoping to find Mooncloud before he could attack her by surprise.
Moments went by without a sign of Mooncloud.
“Where is he?”
Bleep, bleep, bleep.
The nightmare looked under her, seeing a couple of white packs, wired up to each other.
“What is that?”
“C4.”
Boom!
A flaming explosion knocked the nightmare of her senses, leaving a smoking crater.
“I’m done with you.”
The nightmare’s horn flashed and Mooncloud got caught inside a small red sphere.
Just as Mooncloud was going to hit the sphere he and the red sphere disappeared.
“Now with that out of the way, lets see how my dear sister is, hahaha.”
The nightmare looked at the shield and waited.
After a few minute’s he couldn’t bear it anymore and flew to the foot of the shield.
“Why is this shield not down yet? He should have died minutes ago.
Only alicorns can survive in space.”
“That’s because you don’t know Mooncloud.”
Everyone turned around and saw a purple unicorn crawl on her forelegs.
“Twilight? What in the hay are you doing out here?
You’re supposed to stay with Luna.”
“I’m sorry, I just got exited when a saw Mooncloud was back.”
“You need to be more careful in this situations.”
“I know. It just got the better of me.”
“Whatever, if this shield doesn’t go down by itself, than I will bring it down.”
The nightmare charged her horn and blasted a veracity of magical beams against the shield.
With every hit the shield waved, absorbing the high velocity of magic.
She changed tactic, switching to a constant beam, trying to brake through.
The shield arced inwards but held steady.
The nightmare stopped, looking in defeat and breathing heavily.
“If I can’t get in, then I will force you all to come out.”
Everyone looked confused but after a little while they knew what was going on.
The air inside the shield was heating up.
“Lets see how long it takes to make you all scream.”
The nightmare was looking in full delight how it became hotter and hotter.
Sweat was pearling on the foreheads of most of the pony’s.
Applejack looked at Twilight who was having trouble breathing.
“Is this how it’s going to end? Being cooked to dead?”
“I don’t…. know.”
BANG!
The heat stopped to rise and everyone was looking at a spectacular show of up flaying dirt, rock and everything ells that was hidden underground.
It looked like a meteor had crashed right in front if everyone.
“Was that one of those space rock you told us about?”
“That was not a meteor or asteroid. That was Mooncloud.”
Sure enough, the first thing that was visible through the smoke was the shape of Mooncloud.
“What does it take to crush a worm like you?”
“I don’t know…. maybe one of these.”
Two cylinder-like devises slide out Mooncloud’s armor, each having six holes in them.
They both fired and turned to the next hole, repeating the poses for six times.
Mooncloud was waiting for the dust to settle.
Several vines grew out the ground, swirling around Mooncloud’s legs and pulling him down.
“What the?”
A rock triple the size of Mooncloud fell out the sky, burying him.
The nightmare landed beside the rock, inspecting it.
“Are we done now?”
“No.”
The ground under her fell way, revealing a huge vertical running tube.
The nightmare was quick to respond, giving a couple of flaps with her wings.
She hovered above the darkness.
“Did you really think I was going to fall in there?
Four steel chains erupted out the dark tube, each grabbing around a leg of the nightmare.
Steel chains where not the only things that came out the darkness.
The nightmare had just enough time to bring up a shield before she was bombarded by rockets, bullets and grenades.
The nightmare had to do something fast, she could only hold this for a very short moment.
She focused her magic on the ground around the hole, making it move.
The hole closed and for some reason the steel chains released the nightmare.
She landed and began to charged a spell.
She waited, spell charged and ready to be fired.
A spot of grass began to rise, giving way to a big drill that was attached to a indescribable vehicle on tracks.
It transformed into Mooncloud who was trying to locate the nightmare.
When he saw her it was to late, he tried to make a shield but was to slow.
He was hit right in the chest by the biggest beam a the fist yet.
In the eyes of twilight everything became black and white.
She was watching how Mooncloud was being beaten up and tortured to dead.
She couldn’t do anything , she felt so powerless.
There had to be something that she could do.
A flickering in Mooncloud’s shield broke Twilight out her trance.
“Guy’s, that shield is not gonna keep up for much longer.
Commander, we need al those explosive potions, as soon as the shield falls you bomb her like the stars are falling from the heavens.”
The commander of the night guards vaporized into dark smoke, shortly followed by his comrades.
“Rainbow Dash, when the bombing is done you need to deliver a rainbow nuke.
Applejack I want you to buck her like it’s the biggest apple tree in Eqeustria.
Pinkie, distract her if necessary.
Discord, be ready to teleport everyone back if something goes wrong.
Spike, you have to hold her down.
Fluttershy, you’re gone have to bring out the big gun.”
“What?”
“The stare.”

Everyone was ready.
Applejack and Spike both stood in sprint positions.
Rainbow Dash looked like she was about to explode of the tension but was so focused that she probable just could sense who was around her.
Fluttershy stood between Discord and Pinkie Pie and a group of smoke clouds hoverd in formation on the edge of the shield.
The nightmare had finally stopped her attack and was looking pleased with the results.
It was difficult to see because of the color of his coat but he was probable badly burned.
His hole body smoked.
He lay on his side, trying to keep the shield up.
It flickered and again and again.
But eventfully it fell.
“Looks like our mighty warrior has failed.”
She stepped closer, preparing a spell to finish him of.
A big cloud of blue smoke hovered overhead, dropping a couple dozen bottles filled with explosive liquids.
The bottles explode when they hit the ground, surprising the nightmare when she was swallowed out of sight.
A whistle ringed through the air when a cyan Pegasus with a rainbow colored mane and tail came storming down.
A rainbow colored mushroom cloud rose up words when Rainbow Dash delivered her rainbow nuke.
The nightmare, completely knocked of her senses tried to stand up but was greetings by a pair of hind hooves from an orange farm pony, giving the hardest apple-buck he had in het live.
The jaw hung dislocated on her head, slowly pulling itself back to its originals position.
Spike jumped into the air and performed a cannonball dive.
The impact was strong enough to crack the ribcage of the nightmare, momentarily paralyzing her.
Spike used all his weight, which was a lot more than that of a pony, holding the nightmare down.
She tried to brake free but it became a lot more difficult when Pinkie Pie, Applejack and Rainbow Dash joined.
Fluttershy walked to the head of the nightmare, drawing her attention.
She stopped trying to escape when she was trapped in the stare.
Mooncloud had found strength to stand again and had walked over to the now vulnerable nightmare.
“Get of her.”
“Are you crazy? If we let her go she will tear us apart.”
“I need to get the nightmare out of Celstia’s body. Now get of.”
Everyone except Spike let go of the nightmare, still holding on to her.
“Spike, I know that your angry on the nightmare but if you don’t let go you will be electrocuted in the progress.”
“Are you treating me?”
“Spike I need to separate Celestia and the nightmare before Fluttershy runs out of time.”
Just as Spike finally let go of the nightmare had Fluttershy hit her psygisch limit and beyond.
The nightmare kicked back to life, noticing that she was no-longer held down.
She got up, just in time seeing Spike ready to deliver a hit from his clawed fist.
She dodged, striking back with a hove sending Spike flying back.
A big grin spread across her face when she saw Spike could not get back up.
But as fast as the grin had appeared it disappeared.
Two iron rods stabbed the nightmare back to the ground, making her scream in surprise and horror.
Mooncloud was back in the game, big time.
He send about a ten thousand volts trough her body.
The nightmare cramped up, not enable to move a muscle on her command.
A black smoke hung over the White coat of Celestia’s body, slowly growing bigger.
The smoke triad to get back in the alicorn’s body.
Then Mooncloud pulled one of the iron rods out her body, doubling the volts in the other one.
the iron rod that Mooncloud had pulled out split in three, changing from iron to a combination of gold, copper, and a very rare mineral gemtonium, all reinforced with carbon.
It had Moonclouds aura around it but it was mixed with a stream if white and black.
Mooncloud stabbed it back in Celestia’s body but it didn’t wound her.
Instead it passed trough her like is wasn’t even there.
He pulled it back out and in everyone’s surprise a black pony came with it.
Mooncloud stopped electrocuting Celestia and turned to the new pony in question.
Applejack was the first to speak.
“Who in the hay is that?”
“That is the nightmare.”
The nightmare vaporized back to smoke and tried to go back to Celestia’s body but Mooncloud was a step ahead.
Mooncloud pointed a leg to the running smoke, but his leg was no longer a leg.
It had changed to some sort of vacuum cleaner that only seemed to suck the black smoke in.
The smoke struggled, trying to escape from the special vacuum cleaner but slowly and truly the smoke disappeared in it.
Everyone was running to Mooncloud, ready to congratulate him and throw a party.
As there approached they suddenly skidded to a halt.
Mooncloud dropped through his legs, moaning in pain.
Rainbow Dash was the first to arrive.
“What wrong?”
Mooncloud didn’t answer her, instead he rolled on his back, eyes squeezed shut.
Applejack was the second to arrive, just in time to see Mooncloud slam a hove in the ground, leaving a imprint several inches deep.
“O my gosh, he’s fighting the nightmare.”
“Oh no, this is bad. If the nightmare takes over Mooncloud’s body, then who’s gonna stop him.
And if we don’t stop him, then it won’t end well and then I cant throw a awesome victory party with balloons and streamers and awesome music from Vinyl and Octavia and lots of cake and candy aaaand my favorite game pin the tail on the pony.”
“Pinkie that’s not helping.”
“Come on Mooncloud, fight it. I know you can, you have to.
Think about what would happing if she wins, what would happen to Twilight.”
That was it, Mooncloud shouted into the night sky, trembling in sweat.
He coughed, and again and a other time, until he spit out a flat, circular gray gemstone out.
Mooncloud lay silent on the grass, chest heaving rapidly up and down.
Rainbow Dash examment the gemstone and noticed that it gray color constantly changed.
“Is that the nightmare?”
Mooncloud nodded, still out of breath.
“Well, did we win?”
“Yeah, we did.”
“Mooncoud, you are so awesome.
I’m jealous of Twilight.”
“So, she told you guys than.”
“Not really, we saw you two kiss in the fields.”
“Oh, never mind then. How is Celestia?”
“I don’t now. I think that Fluttershy would be the best to examine her.”
Fluttershy flew over to Celestia while Applejack and Rainbow Dash helped Mooncloud on his hooves.
“She’s alive, but unconscious. We need to get her inside.”
“You think you got something left.”
“Maybe enough for a cart, but you guys gone have to pull it.”
Mooncloud changed into a steel framed cart with wooden wheels and a soft floor.
The floor lowered itself, making it easier for Applejack and Rainbow Dash to lift Celestia onto the cart.
Fluttershy, stayed by Celestia’s side, making sure that she remained stable.
The floor raised while Applejack and Rainbow Dash strapped themselves into the harnesses to pull the cart.
Half of the night guards melted out of the Dark night sky, taking escorting position.
“Where’s the other half?”
Doge moved closer pointing a hove to the museum.
“The rest is guarding princes Luna.”

A little further, a purple armored unicorn watched the escort draw closer.
The gears in her head where spinning, puzzling were Mooncloud could be.
The only solution she could come up with was that he was to tired to do any self-propelled stuff and was now been pulled as a cart.
Which was possible for Mooncloud, he could do many greater things like that.
She was waiting silently, waving to Applejack when she had noticed her.
Applejack was doing something weird, she wasn’t waving, it looked more like pointing to something.
A cold chill run down her back when she heard a sword being undrawn.
She turned and saw Commander Shieldbanner stand behind her.
“You will not take her as your prisoner.”
Before Twilight could reply struck Commander Shieldbanner.
The sword struck home, precisely aimed between two plats of Twillght’s armor.
Shieldbanner released the sword, leaving it behind it Twilight chest.
“This is for your crimes against Eqeustria.”
He looked down on Twilight who was slowly sinking trough her only two working legs.
“You’re a fool. It’s a shame that you’re the captain of the royal guards.
You stood right next to the greatest evil and you didn’t even notice.”
Shieldbanner pouched her over and retrieved his sword, sliding it back in it’s holster.
His ears perked up when he heard a familiar rumble.
He started to run, he was no match for Mooncloud.
He needed a plan.

Rainbow Dash was the first to arrive at Twilight, lost in the panic she flew past her crashing into the museum wall.
Mooncloud was the second to arrive, rolling to a halt when he transformed back.
He tore the leather straps holding the armor together apart, revealing the stabbing wound in her chest.
His hooves glowed bright blue when he placed them on top of the wound.
Blood ran out Twilight mouth and poured out her chest.
She was losing it and she knew.
The feeling in her front legs was gone, she couldn’t breath, she was cold.
She raised a hove to Mooncloud’s chest, drawing his attention.
“I, I love… you.”
Her hove dropped, the violent magenta color in her eyes going dim.
“Twilight, NO.”
Mooncloud’s blue glow intensified, pouring everything he had in the effort.
His head throbbed, his legs cramped, his nose started to bleed.
The hole in Twilight chest was gone, but she was still a lifeless body.
Mooncloud’s front hooves coated into metal, placing them on top of her chest.
Every time Mooncloud send a charge into Twilight’s body, it tensed up and fell slack again.
“come on, COME ON. Twilight, you can do It, come back, please.”
Mooncloud ignored the screams from his body, pleading him to stop.
He used energy he didn’t have, distorting his own body.
Someone placed a hove in his shoulder.
Mooncloud looked and saw Celestia stand behind him.
Wounded from the battle with tears in her eyes.
“It’s no use, she’s gone.”
Mooncloud grabbed Twilight, pulling her in a tight hug, running a gentle hove over her now cold cheek.
Everyone was crying, Celestia and Luna, who just had been brought out by her night guard and even Rainbow Dash, THE pony who never cried was among them.
Mooncloud wanted to cry too but something was holding him back.
He felt his pain and sadness fade.
Dark clouds gathered above, blocking out the moon and stars.
Several lightning strike thundered trough the darkness.
Celestia draw Luna’s attention, pointing at Mooncloud.
He sat motionless, staring in front of him, not showing any emotion.
Twilight slowly fell out of his grip.
His beautiful blue eyes changed poisoning green.
The dark clouds from above spiraled down, engulfing Mooncloud.
Luna knew what this meant.
“RUN.”
But is was to late.
The black clouds vanished into nothingness, revealing a tall black winged unicorn with green broken lines running over his entire body.
Mooncloud had changed into a alicorn, a giant black alicorn, even bigger than Celstria.
It looked to everyone with it’s green intimidating glowing eyes.
Fluttershy slowly walked forwards, standing triad in the dark alicorn’s sight.
“Mooncloud? Is that you?”
A answer came, only it came not from the alicorn in front of them, it came from the sky it self.
It was low, like the rumble of one of his engine’s he recalls as v8’s.
“Yes.”
“Oh, ok. Are you ok? You look different and you have been trough a lot this night.”
“I am not ok. I have been hurt in to many ways.”
“We know, we saw it all.”
“You all have no idea what I been trough in all these years of loyal service.
Every time I take a hit, regardless of my state, the pain is inedible.
Every time a plowed the roads during the winter, I felt my body freeze.
Every time a delivered emergency supplies to a town hit by disaster a felt the strain.
The transports of wounded, the rescues in the storms, every time it hurts.
My transformation, my being hurts. It always has.
And despites my effort, all the pain I have been trough, this is my reword.”
The black aliconr lowered hit head, looking at the cold body of Twilight.
“I tortured myself to many times and why? I tell you why.
I only wanted to keep this world from turning upside down, so that the one’s I cared and loved could live a happy live.
I asked nothing in return, I only wanted to see Twilight happy, I wanted to see her smile, knowing that she was happy with me.”
The words where cutting in everyone hearts, even Celestia and Luna felt it.
Celestia had the feeling that she had to speak, in hopes she could calm Mooncloud before something bad happens.
“We all are hurt, we all are feeling the pain of the lost from Twilight.”
Mooncloud’s voice had been emotionless for so far but the words of Celestia had triggered something in his head making his voice threatening.
“Do not think you can feel my pain, no one can feel my pain.
Look at Twilight, LOOK AT HER. She was the most powerful, smartest, beautiful, caring, loving unicorn I could ever imagine.
She was a healthy, strong, young mare just a minute ago and now she it reduced to a ragdoll.”
Two rings came into existing, dropping before Twilight.
‘I loved her, she was the one I cared the most for, at night I guarded her in my sleep, I made sure that she was safe, even when I was gone, she just had to push a button to let me know she was in trouble.”
Mooncloud looked at the rings.
“I crafted them from my very soul, with all the love, passion and care I felt for Twilight.
I was going to go on one knee, I wanted to marry her.”
No one could say a word, every one except Fluttershy.
“We are still here, we will help you, we all will.”
Mooncloud stayed quiet, the lightning increased, turning green.
The wind picked up, making a hole in the storm cloud cover, revealing the moon.
“I sacrificed my life, my body, my very soul for this world.
AND ALL I GET IN RETURN IS THIS.
THIS WORLD HAS FAILED ME, THIS WORLD IS NOT WORTHY ME.
IT WILL PAY.”
The moon turned green.
“What are you doing?”
“I will destroy this world.”
“If you don’t stop right now, than we will be forced to stop you.”
“FOOLS.”
Discord appeared in the middle of the group only long enough to know he was there and zapped away with everyone except Mooncloud.
A huge explosion flattened the landscape, tearing tree’s out the ground and demolishing the museum.

High on a mountain a flash of orange light reflected on the white snow.
Four pony’s, two alicorn’s, a dragon, the night guards, a monstrosity made of different animals and the lifeless body of Twilight Sparkle fell on a patch of grass.
“Well, I say that was just in time. Don’t you guys think?”
“Discord what was that suppose to mean?”
Discord pointed in the distant.
From this point you could see Canterlot, Manhatten the Everfree forest and Ponyville.
Where the museum was suppose to be, there was a big flat aria.
A black circle spread across the surface, cutting in the edge of the Everfree forest and just stopping on the outskirts of Ponyville.
“I think our friend is a little angry.”
Celestia looked at the green moon.
Her eyes widened when she saw it grew bigger.
“He’s drawing the moon closer.”
“Do you guys feel that to?”
The ground trembled, several rocks tumbled down, casing avalanches to roll down the mountains around them.
A big crack pierced its way trough the land below.
Big tornado’s descended, uprooting tree’s and tearing houses from its foundation
The ocean rose, swallowing the land and drawing near.
“What is going on?”
“NOOOOO.”
Luna was crying, burying her face in her hooves.
“He’s using my moon to destroy or world, my moon.”
“There will be time to cry later sister.
But now we must stop him. Everyone depends on us.”
“You’re right, no one used MY moon to harm.”
Luna’s horn flared to live, determination and fury burning in her eyes.
Celestia’s horn joined Luna’s, combining there power, trying to take control over the moon, Luna’s moon.
They did there best but they where still weakened.
The moon kept descending.
Celestia looked at everyone that stood around her.
“If we can’t take control over the moon with magic than were gone have to do it the hard way.”

Mooncloud still stood on the exact same place as he first appeared.
Overseeing the destruction he was causing.
Four armored pony’s teleported in plane view of it.
“Mooncloud you stop this now.”
No reaction.
“Mooncloud, were meaning it.”
Still no reaction.
Rainbow took of, only stopping inches away from Mooncloud’s face.
“For pete’s sake, snap out if it.”
Rainbow Dash smashed a hoof across Mooncloud’s face.
“If this is the way you want it, fine.”
Rainbow Dash rushed trough the air, crash landing after getting a punch in the chest.
“Now you crossed the line partner.”
Applejack stormed forwards, dogging a hove from Mooncloud, sliding underneath him rearing up and delivering her perfected family brand.
“Applebuck.”
Applejack fought tears back, when she hit Mooncloud it felt like his skin was made out of rock.
She bucked again but Mooncloud was to fast, sending Applejack flying.
With a ruff landing and a couple of roles she came to a hold, not far from were Rainbow Dash laid.
“You big meany.”
Pinkie Pie pulled a big sledgehammer out her mane and swung down, hitting Mooncloud’s head.
She prepared for a second hit but noticed that there was something wrong.
She looked at the hammer and saw that she now only held a stick in her hooves.
The rest of the hammer lay shattered on the ground.
Pinkie was quick to react, somehow she managed to bring up her party-canon.
She changed the setting.
Leaving its original mark, she turned the button from birthday party passing big party, extreme party, party overhauled, most super awesome amazing party of a life time and finally stopping at emergency super weapon against great evil.
She pulled the trigger.
Mooncloud was not planning to find out what would come out the barrel, so he placed a hove in the canon, blocking it.
Pinkie Pie’s party canon exploded, making Pinkie a smoking piece of debris.
Graffiti pulled her back down, slamming her on the ground and sliding to a halt juts in front of Rainbow Dash hooves.

While everyone had been fighting, had the princesses been storing astonishing amounts of magic in there horns.
“Sister are you ready.”
“I’m ready.”
Luna was the weakest of the two, she always has been.
But this time she felt it, she was going to be stronger than her sister.
The fury that was burning trough her was acting as a turbo fuel.
“Now!”
The two sisters released the stored magic in a huge beam.
The one of Celestia was a summer morning orange and the one of Luna had the color of a wintery clear night sky, lit up by the moon and billions of stars.
Like Luna had felt, her beam was the strongest of the two.
The two beams spiraled around eats other, traveling tread to there target.

Mooncloud had slid several meters back but stood unharmed.
The combined attack of the two princesses had taken him by surprise but that couldn’t bother him, the attack had given away there location.
Within seconds he had fired back.
Two beams, one black, the other poison green, spiraled along.
Hitting the ground, right between the Celestia and Luna.
The explosion that followed had knocked both the princesses out.
Mooncloud was keeping a eye on the smoke in the distents when a yellow Pegasus dove in his view.
Fluttershy hovered strait in front his eyes and gave him the stare.

Fluttershy found herself in complete darkness.
This had never happen before when she gave the stare.
“First time you’re in a zone like this?”
“Who is there?”
The poising green eyes and lines of Mooncloud came into view.
“You’re the second pony to ever enter this zone.”
“What is this?”
“You could consider this as a neutral zone.
Nothing exist here, only the two of us now.”
A moving image popped up, like a television screen.
Fluttershy locked her eyes on it, seeing how the world was being torn apart.
“Stop this.”
“Why? Tel me, why would I, everything a have every done was for noting.
I’m left in the dirt, with no one that cares.”
“And for that you’re gonna destroy our world?”
“Yes, after al the pain I have been trough, yes.
Every time a past my limit, my body was left in pain for weeks.
I wasn’t living Fluttershy, I was dying, for years a have been dying.
For years a was suffering a dead that just wouldn’t end.
And now the only reason a was still going, my only sores of relieve is gone.”
“Why have you never told us?”
“Because no one could help me.
My powers aren’t a gift, there a curse.”
Fluttershy walked up to Mooncloud placing a hove on his chest.
“She still is here Mooncloud, in here.”
“Don’t bring me that nonsense, she is not in my heart anymore.
When a soul leaves his body it becomes a part of cosmetic stream.”
“Than do you not believe that the one who past away leave something behind, other than a body.”
“A hole in my heart.”
“She united us. The friendship between us is still here.
She made the most powerful friendship’s every created.
Her support in our dreams, hopes and goals are indescribable.
She was there for al of us.”
“are you trying to make my pain worse.”
“Don’t you feel it, even though she dead, she’s still watching over us.
She still cares about you.”
With that she had broke the barrier of Mooncloud’s negative energy.
The dark alicorn screamed, like it was fighting with itself.
But Fluttershy saw more, she saw Mooncloud brake free.
Blue light pierced the dark coat, cutting it apart.
The alicorn that stood in frond of Fluttershy exploded.
Fluttershy was back in the normal world, that still was being torn to pieces.
A night sky silhouette landed in front of her.
“How dare you to use my moon to bring harm.”
Luna kicked the dark alicorn square in the chest.
To her surprise it shattered like glass.
Luna looked past the shattered body and saw Mooncloud in his normal form, lying on the ground.
“What is this?”
“Luna stop.”
She looked back, seeing Fluttershy fly over to Mooncloud.
“He broke free.”
“Of what?”
“Himself.”
She carefully held his head in her hooves, trying to wake him up.
With a jump his eyes opened, taking in the side around him.
She saw princes Luna ready to deliver a couple hits but more imported the ground that was ripping open and the countless tornados.
He finally looked up seeing the moon drawing closer.
This was his work and he knew.
He lifted his head out Fluttershy’s hooves proceeding to stand up.
Slowly rising to his hooves, wobbling by doing so.
He felt weak, tired ad broken, not to forget he was wounded.
If he wanted to save the world and save Twilight’s friends he had to do something.
“Fluttershy, Luna please stand back.”
“And why would I?”
A Blue light enveloped around Mooncloud’s body.
Melting away into a flat disk on the ground.
In sections he climbed up, forming a thin, high tower.
A high pinched noise gave the signal to Luna to run away.
She grabbed Fluttershy and took of.
A flame spit out the tower, melting the dirt and rock beneath it.
The large tower lost contact with the ground, braking free of gravity.

Applejack was being shacked awake by Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie.
“Come on AJ, wake up already.”
“What’s going on?”
Between the two she could see a thin object leaving a trail of smoke.
She pointed at it.
“Is that Mooncloud?”
“Don’t care, we need to get out of here.”
Rainbow dash took Pinkie Pie and flew away, Applejack in pursuit.
She grinded to a hold when she learned why Rainbow Dash was carrying Pinkie Pie.
There where stuck on a big island, surrounded by a wide cliff.
“Don’t fail me now.”
While she backed of she quickly send a prayer and went for it.
Digging her hooves in the ground and taking of.
She hit her top speed running to the edge.
At the very last moment the jumped, stretching forwards.
On her belly she landed on the other side, hind legs dangling over the abyss.
“AJ, what in Eqeustria’s name are you doing?”
“I wasn’t going to wait for you slowpoke.”
“Hey! Who are you calling a slowpoke?”
Luna and Fluttershy landed not far from them.
Fluttershy trembling from what just happen.
“Everyone alright?”
“Apart from being knocker out and a few brushes, where aright.”
Discord puffed in, holding Celestia, still unconscious in his arms.
“I think she still needs a little to come back.
Mind me asking, were is he going?”
As soon he asked the question a bright flash a light illuminated on the surface of the Moon.
When they looked up everyone could see a big orange dot on the moons surface.
“He’s pushing my moon back, I feel it.”
As they where looking, the moon slowly grew smaller.
A few hours has past now.
Fluttershy had been busy attending to everyone’s wounds.
Rainbow Dash had to stay a few days on the ground, what was really the last thing she wanted.
For Applejack it was the same story, she was advice to not apple-buck for the coming days.
Meanwhile had Discord gone back to the mountains to retrieve Twilight’s body.
In that last hours many tears had been spilled.
Even from Celestia.
Luna on the other hand had been staring in her night sky.
She had more than one’s confirmed that her Moon was back in its original position.
Now she was waiting for two things.
For her night guards to return with Commander Shieldbanner or for a sign of Mooncloud.
She hoped that her night guard would make quick work tracking the commander down and bringing him to her.
No one knows how Mooncloud would react when he saw the murderer of his loved one.
Luna screamed. “Over there.”
“What do you see sister?”
“Its Mooncloud.”
“Are you sure? I can only see your stars.”
“I know my star very well and I don’t recall me placing one there.”
What Celestia assumed to be a star grew out to be indeed Mooncloud.
Although he was still easily mistakable for a meteor.
With a great spectacle he flew over head, crashing in the hills just a couple minutes away.
Discord grabbed Fluttershy and teleported away.

A thick black smoke cloud trailed upwards.
The big crater was surrounded by a sea of flames.
In the middle lay Mooncloud, blacker that ever.
His cutiemark’s where invisible just like his whit mane and tail.
Discord zapped in sight, only a few meters from Mooncloud.
Fluttershy punched her out of Discord grip and running over, checking for a heartbeat.
She found one but it was very weak and worryingly slow.
“Fluttershy?”
“I’m here Mooncloud, I’m here.”
“Bring me to Twilight, please.”
His voice barely a whisper.
“Discord, bring us to the others.”
With a simple snap of his finger he teleported the three over.
Within the first second was every one gasping in horror by seeing in what state Mooncloud was.
In the meantime had Fluttershy asked to Spike to bring Twilight’s body to Mooncloud.
Spike had grabbed Twilight and placed her gently next to Mooncloud.
Everyone watched silently to the two.
Mooncloud raised one of his burned legs, placing it on Twilight’s chest.
“I love you to.”
He pulled his leg back and closed his eyes.
A small spark arced from his chest to Twilight’s.
Everyone was nailed to the ground when they saw Mooncloud starting to flake.
The wind Picked up, caring the flakes with them.
In les than a minute his hole body was gone, not even a skeleton was left behind.
Only Twilight’s body was left behind, that al of a sudden started to glow the same color blue as Moonclouds eyes were.
The blue glow slowly fainted to a purple one.
Eventfully it died out.
Fluttershy ran over, pressing a hove against her chest.
“She’s alive.”
She could feel her heart pound and see her chest rise and fall indicating she was breathing.

Its been a month sins the events of the nightmare and Mooncloud.
In the first few days had Twilight stayed in the Canterlot Castle’s medical wing where she had shed many tears.
Everyone had come by fiving each there individual story. Even Celestia, Luna and her night guards who had still failed to find Shieldbanner and surprisingly Discord.
A lot of things have been discussed, like how it was possible that the nightmare had taken control of Celestia and how Mooncloud had brought her back to life after she’s been dead for more than a hour.
A lot of thing where left unanswered.
Why Mooncloud’s body had flaked away like that?
And why couldn’t they find Shieldbanner?
But for the rest of that month had Twilight only come outside the library for the ceremony in honor of Mooncloud.
During the ceremony had Twilight constantly been crying.
The big photo of him hanging on the side of the castle combine with his favorite music where a real torture.
It didn’t stop with a ceremony.
In Manehatten they had made a bid statue of him being a airship.
It referred back to the event when Manehatten was hit by a major out of control snowstorm.
The town was in desperate need of food and medical supplies.
By the bad conditions it could have taken weeks to transport everything.
But thanks to Mooncloud they had everything within the next day.
He had transported 25 tons worth of necessary supplies in one trip trough stormy condition.
In Canterlot they had thorn open the mane road and replaced it by a big plaza were Moonclouds cutiemark was represented.
The two shields one holding a sun, the other holding a moon, became a major project in the busy city.
At night the Moon and sun would glow.
Twilight had one’s visit it.
It just was like she remembered it. Two shield, one holding a sun in it and the other holding a Moon.
Every town and city did something.
Mostly because Mooncloud was well know for his action’s.
Applesoola named there new apple orchard after him.
Cloudsdale, Hoofington and Fillydelphia also kept it on a statue.
And for Ponyville, they broke down the old fountain and build a new one.
The mane base was tiled with the two shields that became a icon and on top of that stood Mooncloud in his al terrain rescue vehicle.
Everyone in town knew him the best in that state.
So yeah, hole Eqeustria was making memorials.
Twilight on the other hove couldn’t been bothered with it.
The only pony’s that had visited her in that month where her best friends and Princes Celestia, Lune and Cadence with her brother Shining Armor and at last her parents.
Everyone that you would expect except for one colt.
He and a couple friend where big fans of Mooncloud’s action’s.
They had made a special book for her.
Filed with al the great thing he had done, everyone he had saved and al his know transformations.
That was pretty much the only book she had read in the hole month.
She had locked herself away with al of her pain and sadness.
The only thing she did was cry and stare at a pare of ring.
Moonclouds craftsmanship was the only real thing she still had of him.
She could read the emotions of Mooncloud on it.
It hurt her looking at it.
She was heartbroken and alone for a month now.
She did have the support of her friend, which by the way had talked her into doing something fun today.
Twilight didn’t look forwards to it, in fact he had to be on her way ten minutes ago.
A nock on the door pulled Twilight’s eyes from the gemstones that represented the eye color’s of her and Mooncloud.
She somehow expected her friends to show up if she didn’t.
They probably would drag her outside if they had to.
When she opened the door she wasn’t greeted by one of her friend but by a black coated stallion with white mane an tail with a black stripe in it.
And on his flanks where two shields.
“Mooncloud?”
The stallion that she assumed was Mooncloud stepped forwards grabbing onto her and puling her in a tight hug.
Twilight answered the hug by Puling Mooncloud in a deep passive kiss.

End.
