Smoke and Darkness

"LUNA!" Celestia screamed to her dearest sister but she could not seem to see her or anything.
Then the smoke got wild it rampaged about the room and Celestia was almost knocked over completely. Then the smoke started to clear and finally it stopped. "Hahahahaha HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Luna screamed.
Celestia was in total shock and fear. Her sister had turned Black her cutie mark had turned Purple and she had a huge flowing mane of magic and dark blue armour on. She had teeth that were very sharp and pointed and she was laughing her evil laugh madly. "Now the night will last FOREVER!" The monster screamed.
"No it won't, I will fight you for Equestria!" Celestia said realizing what she had just done.
"Fine then. "Pull your weapon!" Said the monster.
"What is your name?" Celestia said asking a stupid question at the wrong time.
"Nightmare moon. Or should I say, the itsy deary Princess Luna." She said acting like a little foal.
"And Celestia, I will defeat you tonight!" Nightmare moon said.
"Not if I can help it." Celestia said.
Then, there was total silence. Nightmare Moon's or Luna's weapon was dark blue, black points on the end were curved and shaped with Purple and the blade was sharp with Black smeared all over. On Celestia's wepon her wepon was Pink, Red, White and Yellow. On hers there was a Pink points with some Yellow on it. On the blade there was a bright White with Yellow and Red swirls covering it. "Start!" Nightmare moon said like she was about to start a race for them.
They battled on and on but finally only one was standing, and the other dropped on the floor.
"I have won against you!" Said the mad and injured Nightmare Moon.
"No you haven't won against me yet now have you?" Celestia said even though she knew she was wrong.
"Oh yes I have Celestia! Your on the ground, I am still standing. So ha!" Nightmare Moon said like a foal again.
"No laughing yet Luna!" Celestia said trying to pull herself up.
"I am not that fool Luna I am now Nightmare Moon princess of eternal night time if you will." Nightmare Moon said regaly.
"Okay, your highness." Celestia said sarcasticly.
"Don't fool with me Celestia lets have another battle shall we, to see who is the real winner." Nightmare Moon said.
"Fine." Celestia said even though she was badly injured and gashed.
They battled and of course the next winner was Nightmare Moon and after that Celestia said to her. "Fine you win and I surrendor."Celestia said even she knew it was too good to be true.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I have won against the great and powerful Celestia you will go now." Nightmare Moon said like she was at a play and it was getting to her favorite part.
"Go where?" Celestia said confused of where fate might take her.
"To your beautiful sun of course. After all those years you sealed me away I planned revenge and now you get it with pay back by going to the sun for ONE THOUSAND YEARS!" Nightmare Moon said loudly and matter-of-factly way.
"One thousand years." She mumbled again quiet enough that Nightmare Moon couldn't hear.
"Goodbye dear sister but one more thing see you in ONE THOUSAND YEARS after everypony around you is gone forever all the ponies you ever knew will be GONE!" Nightmare Moon said yelling and laughing at the same time.
That word sended a chill down her back, no Twilight, no Elements, no sister, enslaved ponies around her dying not happily but very sadly. "Goodbye Luna." Celestia said her last words.
Or so she thought.

Or so she thought.
hm hm.

The Sun

When Celestia was on the sun she felt something she had never felt before. Lots of heat and sorrow. The heat was well you know she was ON the sun! And the sorrow was for her beloved sister Luna who had turned into a monster or as she called it Nightmare Moon. "What am I going to do?" Celestia said bursting into tears that melted away right after.
"I have no magic strong enough to get away from being litterly inside the sun. Or even if I could do that how would I fight her off?"
Then she realized she was talking out loud to no one at all. Then she thought in her head now. I mean I could do that but I already lost what about the power she still has, and the strentgh she has? I couldn't even fight her off even if I tried I would just lose or fail yet once again. "What should I do?" Celestia said again starting to cry again but they melted away soon enoguh.
"Don't worry," a little voice said.
"Huh, who's there?" Celestia said opening her eyes and looked around.
"It's me your mom." The voice said.
"Mom?" Celestia said bursting into tears of joy now but as always they melted away soon enough.
"I thought you had, you know. Died." Celestia said shivering even though it was over eight million degrees on where she was standing.
"Yeah so did I and your father. But I hadn't. But, the past is the past." Her mother said.
"How can you be here?" Celestia said wondering if her mother had tried to come back when she wasn't looking and Nightmare Moon had sent her here.
"We're in outer space remember? I have the flame of the sun cutie mark so I live here." Her mother said.
"And Nightmare Moon sent me a letter and told me what she was going to do."
"She did, did she?" Celestia said grunting.
"Yes she did." Her mother said.
"How?" Celestia said.
"Well I was walking around in Canterlot when Luna saw me, I waved to her, and then she walked off. So actully she made a mistake I live here so I can go anywhere I want freely without anyone or anything telling me what to do well probably except you, your father, or Luna, or Nightmare Moon, actully." She said weirdly.
"Good point." Celestia said laughing a little under her breathe.
"I just glad I have someone to talk to up here so that I am not alone." Celestia said.
"Me too!" Her mother said.
Soon, a light was glowing up to the sun, and with out getting a chance to say goodbye, she was down in the old castle where her little sister Luna sat on her knees. And in a almost long time, Celestia cried and smiled at her sister.

2 different sides

Celestia knew that something had been going on with her sister lately and not in a good way. She had been acting well, mean and nasty and she knew something was definitly wrong in this picture. Just then her sister walked into the room.
"Hello my dear sister." Luna said dramaticly.
"Hello to you as well Luna. "How have you been lately?" Celestia said worried a little about her sisters tone.
"Fine, and why do you wish to talk?" Luna said solidly.
"Because you are my dearest sister." Celestia said still, even more worried.
"Hmm. I guess that would be so." Luna said. Luna trotted off to her balcony to raise the moon. Celestia sighed. She didn't want her sister to be like this, but, what could she do to help?

* * * *
The next day after what had happened last night Celestia knew something was up with her dear sister Luna. When they walked into breakfast and sat down Luna glared at her sister. "Why do you must stare at me Luna?" Celestia said confused. "Because I don't like you today. And thats that." Luna said solidly.
"And why is that so?" Celestia said.
"Because, I just told you. And thats that." She said glaring again at her sister.
"Alright then. I get it." Celestia said.
"I hate you! Goodbye!" Luna said before she stomped off.
Celestia never in her life ever thought that Luna would say that to her. Ever.

* * * *

Hours later in the day at about seven thirty pm, Luna raised the moon into its beautiful moon and stars it had to offer. A few minutes after that Celestia went to the throne room, she sat down and sighed having feeling a burst of relief and confusion. She still could not even figure out one piece of the puzzle why was her dearest sister act this way? Why she wanted to know why?
Then Luna walked in unexpectedly. Then Celestia got up and walked around until she could see her sister completely. Then Celestia wanted to get closer to her sister. "Not another step sister." She demanded.
"What has been going on with you lately?" Celestia said.
"Have you not figured it out yet sister?" Luna said.
"No I, I." Celestia said not knowing the words of what to say to her.
"Cat got your tounge huh?" Luna said like it was all a big game.
Celestia coughed. "While I watch them vast in YOUR preciois light!" Luna said loudly.
"There can only be one princess in Equestria and that Princess will be ME!" Luna said yelling so loud Celestia's ears burned and the glass in the throne room almost burst out of their sockets.
Smoke filled the room and surrounded Luna completely. "LUNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Celestia screamed.
The smoke swirled around her dear sister Luna, and Celestia was in total panic mode. "WHATEVER YOU ARE GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY DEAR SISTER!" Celestia said yelling at the top of her lungs.
Before the smoke completely surrounded her Celestia got a glimpse of her sister she was terrified. Completely TERRIFIED. And so was herself.
