Nightmare Moon never felt fear before. But now she felt its cold embrace as the monster stood at it's full height. Her eyes glazed over as it shambled over to her, it's right was twisted in a way that had to painful. Much to her horror the large hand grabbed the limb and twisted it back into it's correct position with ease. Nightmare heard the sound of armor grinding against armor, the fact she couldn't hear any grunts of pain or the sound of flesh being torn, or bones break and snap. And it still kept coming for more.

Panic fully showered the queen of the night as one of the remaining guards struck his sword on the armor, to have it snap in two. With a swift kick from Nightmare the guard's face caved in with sickening crack. That wasn't the end for the body though. Nightmare heaved the cadaver at Nightmare Moon.

The body pinned her to the ground for a brief second, but within that moment Nightmare closed the distance between them. His sword hit home in a flurry of slashes and thrusts. Nightmare Moon's body exploded in pain as the brutal beating continued by Nightmare's hands. For all present on the scene lost whatever they eaten previously in the last six hours, they could hear Nightmare Moon's pleas and begging for it to stop made them cringe. To hear the feared goddess beg was gut wrenching as the beast wailed it's fist on her body. What was to be a victory for her turned into a nightmare, it was true irony in the purest form. Nightmare punched, kicked, and slashed her until she was a mess of red stains and a lump of flesh upon the ground.

"Delicious souls are readied with fear." The dual voice ripped through the tense air. Nightmare now focused on the rest of the survivors with mad glee. Nightmare saw the terror written on their faces, he assumed that this was a leader of their race, and he just massacred her. They backed away very slowly to their misguided hope. Nightmare launched forward.

Luna fell to the floor gasping for air. Celestia was the first at her side.

"Luna what's wrong?!" Worry was in Celestia's voice. She looked over her sister to find anything wrong. Nothing.

"Tia... it feels... like... a... piece of me... died..." Luna still gasping. She was just as confused as Celestia at this sudden change. A enormous explosion rocked the entire palace.

Three guards barged in the room with pained expressions on their faces. Each panted with ragged breath.

"Your... Majesties... it's here!" Celestia and Luna's eyes were the size of dinner plates.
