preparation

Two Weeks have past since the defeat and death of Dark Shadow. Two weeks since Lunar became Nyx's Father and Nyx becoming a young ruler by Twilights side. Nyx came home during the two weeks, because she felt like she now has a strong bond with her Godmother, Rainbow Dash, so she had Rainbow Dash take her home. Rainbow told Twilight she had tons of fun with Nyx and she offered if Nyx could come at her place every other two weeks. Twilight agreed and so did Lunar. Twilight and Lunar have been a couple for two weeks and they had a lot of time together. Now Twilight was thinking of what she can do for Lunar since he was New to Ponyville. Pinkie offered to throw a Welcome Party, but Twilight said that he needs time to settle in because he's been through a lot and a had a Near Death experience during the battle. Pinkie agreed and decided to give Lunar time before throwing the welcome party. Now Nyx, Twilight, Rainbow Dash, and Lunar were at the Library. "It feels great that there has been no sign of the Children of shadow, I guess Celestia got all of them." said Twilight

"I guess thats a good thing Besides, if they were still here, they're probably have a new leader." said Lunar

"Well its been two weeks and Twi has been letting you settle in after what you been through and all. I guess we should probably do something for you." said Rainbow

Suddenly Twilight hit an idea, she came with the idea of showing Lunar around Ponyville. That way she make him feel like Ponyville is his home. "Why don't we give Lunar a tour around Ponyville? We can make it much easier for him to feel comfortable here." said Twilight

"Thats a good idea, Mom, Daddy should have a tour." said Nyx.

"I agree with Nyx, it's a good idea. we should give Lunar a tour." said Rainbow.

Twilight then looked at Lunar. "Do you think we should give you a tour, Lunar?" asked Twilight.

Lunar then nodded. "I think thats a great idea."

"It's settled, today we will give you a tour."

Nyx and Rainbow agreed that Lunar needs a tour around ponyville. Twilight remembers that she gave Nyx a tour way before she became Nightmare Moon. She was hoping this tour wouldn't go bad. Suddenly Spike walked in. "Hey Twilight." He said in a groaning voice.

"Spike are you okay?" asked Twilight

"Haven't been sleeping well."

"Let me guess, that nightmare." said Nyx

"*sigh* Yes, it's that nightmare again."

Twilight came over to spike and hugged him. "Tell us what the nightmare was." said Twilight

"if i must."

Spike then sat on the sofa. "It's a nightmare I been having for a long time, in it, i'm in Celestia's castle, and I see two figures, a Dragon, which happens to be my uncle, uncle Onaga, and a hooded figure who looked like my cousin. They were discussing something, then they noticed me. My cousin took of his hood revealing his face with the permanent tatoo on his face, and that burn he had. they then told me not to tell anyone one what they were plotting or else. The dream ended with Me getting a burn and I wake up."

"Do....do you remember your cousins name."

"Sadly I do, his name is Blaze. He's my older cousin."

"I feel sorry for the fellow." Said Lunar

"But come to think of it.....that name rings a bell....must be my imagination." continued Lunar

"Well Spike you wanna come on the tour with us? we are giving Lunar a tour around Ponyville."

"Sure."

Spike, Lunar, Twilight, Rainbow, and Nyx, got up and ready to take Lunar on a tour. Twilight was more then Happy to give her Coltfriend a tour, and she was going to have Pinkie throw the welcome party.

"I better not tell them that Blaze is the head honcho of the Children of the Shadow. They will hate me if I tell them. I don't wanna hurt Spike by the news. But this has to wait until a certain time." thought Lunar

"Lunar, are you okay?" said Rainbow

"Hm...yeah i...i'm okay."

"I don't think you are. You look worried."

"Just let it go. i don't want to talk about it."

"Well okay."

As they got ready, Spike was with Twilight. He was curious about Lunar. He was feeling the same way when Nyx was transformed back into a filly and thought Nyx was gonna become Nightmare Moon. But he let the feeling go. "So what is the first step?" asked Spike

"Well we are going to show him around town, and we are going to introduce him to our friends.

"Well okay, is Nyx gonna be with us?"

"Yes, Remember, no school today."

"Oh, right."

Twilight then put the closed sign on the liabrary. She then asked if everyone is ready. Everyone then said they were all ready. Twilight, Lunar, Spike, Nyx, and Rainbow then left the liabrary and went on there way to give Lunar a tour around town. Lunar rarely knows the town due to him coming for the battle. But he also didn't know the town because he was only there once when he requested Nyx to get rid of the blessing from him. He was happy that his marefriend, Twilight, was giving him a tour around the town and meet her friends again. He was hoping that the tour will be a good one and nothing bad happens.

more than meets the eye

The tour was going grewat for Lunar, he was meeting a lot of ponies, which were suspicious about him. Lunar was glad that he's able to start a new life. he came up to Twilght. "It seems you know the town really well Twilight." he said in a sweet voice. Twilight couldn't help but blush.

"Well being here for four years really is shocking. Even after what me and my friends been though. I find this town as my home."

"Well i'm still looking forward to knowing about Nyxs history."

Nyx then came to Lunars side. "You know i have a Book that i received two weeks ago that is all about my life when i was created." said Nyx

Lunar was surprised "You do?"

"Yeah, me and Rainbow Dash Read it. The Book is called Past Sins. Its a great book and it's all about my Life, from every detail and event that took place."

"I may want to read that book."

"You can, it was sent to me in the mail, which its the first copy."

Lunar then was happy that he was gonna learn about Nyxs past and Twilight was eager to read it. "So, where to now?'

"we are going to Fluttershys."

"Is she the shy one?"

"Yes she is. Trust me she has a nice side, but you don't wanna go on her bad side, unless you wanna face her stare."

The gang then headed towards Fluttershys, when they arrived they saw Fluttershy had company.. Twilight noted it was Discord. "uh, honey, why is Discord here? I thought he was imprisioned?" asked Lunar.

"Oh, you see, Celestia told us to reform him. Fluttershy was the only one that was able to do it. basically what happen was when he froze the water overflow, and Fluttershy took ice skattes, she turned her back on Discord. Which this caused Discord to realize that he broke his Friendship, he returned everything to normal. At first when he said he was reformed, we didn't believe him. but we seen that he is actually using his chaotic powers for good purposes insted of evil." said Twilight

They then approch Fluttershy. "Hey shy." said Rainbow.

"Oh hey, You guys. what brings all of you here?"

"We are giving daddy a tour." Said Nyx bouncing like crazy

"Hm...Daddy? well it looks like Celestias price pupil found a lover." Said Discord with a grin. "Whats his name?"

"My name is Lunar Eclipse." said Lunar

"Discord was shocked. "Wait....you are Lunas son.....how.....You're supposed to be dead."

"Sadly i'm not dead. i been curropted by A pony named Dark Shadow by a blessing, and when Mom became Nightmare Moon. I froze myself in time because Shadow was sealed in the shadows. but Nyx here freed me when i met her."

"hm, you did a lot of chaos. but you betrayed Dark Shadow and began a new life. Now that Takes guts."

"Uh Discord, please refrain from saying Dark Shadows Name...if its okay with you Lunar. oops did i say "his" name, sorry." said Fluttershy

"Why don't you want me to say that ponies name?"

"Because that pony killed Lunars Previous Marefriend 1004 years ago."

"Oops"

"Well do you want to know what i do Lunar?"

"Sure" said Lunar

Fluttershy then Started telling Lunar what she does. she told him how she got her cutie mark, her ability to communicate with animals, and many various topics. she told him that she is one of the elements of harmony along with Rainbow, and twilight. as she was Talking a bear came up from behind and it scared fluttershy. her basket went up in the air. "My basket." said Fluttershy.

Lunar saw the basket going high in the air. he Than ran to a Tree, Jumped on the trunk and Did a wall Jump causing him go in high in the air, he then went fast like a Flash of lighting going down to the earth and grabbed the basket. the others gasped. suddenly wings started to appear and he levitated himself all the way down to the gound. when he landed, the others were speachless. "What just happened? What ever that was, that was SO AWESOME."

"I'm not sure, when i saw it fly in the air, i took immediate action."

"Well lets get on with the tour. i hope nothing strange happens again."

The group agreed and said bye to fluttershy and discord and Fluttershy went to talk with the bear. the went on their way to Carousel boutique. they were going to meet Rarity and see if she can tell Lunar about herself. Twilight was still wondering what just happened but she let it go, she didn't want it to interfere with the tour. as they continued, Rainbow looked at Twilight. "you okay Twi?" asked Rainbow.

"Hm...y-yes i am okay."

"You are still being bugged about what you saw aren't you."

"*sigh* Yes."

Nyx then came up and was by her mom and rainbows side. "Mom, don't let i bug you. besides, the expression you your face kinda looks like the one when you thought i was Nightmare Moon when you first saw me."

"Excuse me young lady, did you just use smack talk to me?"

"No twi...she just is saying. She got it from her book. i read it with her, and your face does look like the one Nyx remembers."

"oh...sorry Nyx"

"Its okay Mom."

Lunar then walked up to Twilight and turned to her, he heard everything. "hon, if its troubling you we can talk about it later." said Lunar

"Okay we can talk about it later. lets get on with the tour."

The others agreed. Talking about what Lunar just did has to wait. They went on their way back to town and headed towards the boutique.

the unexpected

"So, who is this Rarity again?" asked Lunar. Lunar and the gang were now in town and heading to the boutique, Twilight sighed and looked at her lover.

"Rarity is the one with the purple mane. The one spike loves"

"Oh. Wait spike loves rarity?"

"Unfortunately yes."

"That kinda sounds wrong."

"Well Rarity is okay with it."

The group then approched the door to Carousel Boutique. They then opened the door. "Well come to Carousel Boutique...... Oh its you guys."

"Hey Rarity." said Twilight

"Hey, so what brings you here?"

"We are giving Lunar a tour, since we are together now and he is settled in. We stopped a flutters and we came here next. We thought you could tell Lunar about what you do."

"Well okay, if you insist."

Rarity and the gang sat at a table, and Rarity began telling Lunar what she does. She told him she is a fashion pony, and a clothes maker. She told him how she ended up getting her Cutie Mark. from What Lunar heard, Rarity represents the element of generosity. She told Lunar about her sister. Just then Sweetie Belle came in. "Hey sis, Hey Nyx." Said Sweetie

"Hi Sweetie Belle."

"Who is that colt with the two swords and a shied Cutie Mark?"

"Thats my Daddy. Do you want to introduce yourself dad?" said Nyx

"Hi, Name is Lunar Eclipse, I am Nyxs Dad."

"Sweetie belle say hi to Lunar. he is friendly."

"Hi Lunar."

"Good. now what is it sis?"

"Uh i don't want you to freak out but....how do i put this."

"What is it?"

"Your sewing Machine is on fire."

"WHAT!"

The gang then followed sweetie belle and she was right. The sewing Machine was on Fire. "No. This is the worst possible thing. We have to put it out." said Rarity. Suddenly Lunar started to use magic. he bought a canteen with him in case he got thirsty. He opened the lid, stood on his back hoofs and used his front hoofs. The water in the canteen started to be lifted out and he was holding the water without using his horn or touching it, he looked like he was bending it. he use his hands to control it and put it over the machine. The fire was put out. Everypony was speechless.

"Did you see that Twi?" asked Rainbow

"He....he didn't use magic, or touch it."

"Wow. That's fascinating." said Rarity.

Rarity was sad. her machine was broken because of the fire. "What happens, happens. i guess i have to get my spare." She said.

"Well, we are gonna take Lunar to the acres to meet Applejack." said Twilight

"Well okay. but you should consider writing to Celestia about what happened."

"I will if anyother stange things happen"

Twilight, Rainbow, Lunar, Spike, and Nyx said goodbye and headed towards the acres. Twilight was thinking to her self "What on earth is goin on? This is suspicous, no unicorn should be able to have that type of powers." thought Twilight. Twilight shook it off, and said to herself that she will have to write to Celestia about this. Celestia may know what is up.

Author's Note

if you are wondering that one part is a reference to Avatar: The last Airbender.

so what do you think is causing these strange abilities to happen?

unusual speed

It was now midday in Ponyville and the group was now heading towards Sweet Apple Acres. Twilight was trying to figure out what has been causing these strange abilities to happen. First Lunar flew in the air with no wings and levitated himself down with a pair of allusion wings, then he bended water with out touching it or using his horn. Twilight kept asking herself, What if this is related to the Equestrian emeralds. Nyx then saw her mom lost in space. she came by her moms side. "Mom, are you okay?" asked Nyx. Twilight was then pulled from her trance from Nyxs voice, she then looked at her daughter and sighed.

"i'm lost in thought right now. i'm thinking of what abillities Lunar has that we didn't know about."

Rainbow Dash then looked at Twilight. "I guess it's because we didn't know about the moves."

Lunar overheard what they were talking about and walked up to them. He couldn't help but smile at Twilight. "Listen, Twilight, i don't know what was going on but we should ask Mom and celestia about this, i believe they can come with a conclusion of why this is so sudden and what is causing it."

Twilight couldn't help but smile, she new that Lunar was right. Luna and celestia can help by deducting what has been causing this whole thing to happen. They then arrived at Sweet Apple Acres and They Saw AppleJack. They then headed towards the Farm Pony who saw them coming. "Well howdy there Twi, What brings you guys here?" asked Applejack

"We are giving Lunar a tour around Ponyville. we already stopped and Fluttershys and Raritys. so we decided to Stop here next."

"Well, i'm sure he'll like a tour here."

Suddenly Granny Smith, Big Mac and Applebloom came out of the house and saw the group. "Howdy Nyx." greeted applebloom with a grin on her face. Nyx then replied back. Granny Smith and Big Mac looked a Lunar.

"Twilight, who is the stallion with you?" Big Mac asked.

Twilight looked at Big Mac and smiled. "This here is my Coltfriend and Nyxs Father, Lunar Eclipse, The son of Luna who disappeared 1004 years ago."

"Wait, he disappeared 1004 years ago? But how is he still alive?"

"I think I can explain." said Lunar

Lunar then started to explain his story. from what the apple family heard, Lunar lived a Life as Lunas priced son, a son she cared about the most. He then explain that he once had a marefriend Named StormFire, Who was Celestias student, and told them that She died at the hands of Dark Shadow. as he reached the part where he was forcefully blessed with the blessing of the shadow, The apple family was speechless, he was a victim of being blessed and saw his Marefriend die in front of his eyes. He told them Next that he went all cold hearted from time to time making him always mad at everything, not talk to his mom about anything, and more. Next he stated that when Celestia banished Luna to the moon and seald Dark Shadow in the Shadows, he went haywire and frose himself in time. he concluded that he was then Reawoken 1004 years later in darkness, which everypony took note that it was durning Nyxs ruling. he ended saying his story with Nyx freeing him from the blessing and revivng him after Dark Shadow was terminated.

The apples were shocked, Lunar lived a live changing experience. They didn't know that he suffered from this experience but is now relived that it was over
"well since ah'm gonna be doing apple bucking, how about ya'll come with. i'll be more then happy to tell you about what ah do."

The others agreed to let Applejack tell Lunar about her life and what she does. as they went to the acres with applejack applejack explain That she runs the farm with granny smith and Big Mac, she told them how she manage to get her cutie mark and how big her family branch is. she mentioned to Lunar that the stallion he saw when regrouping the Children of Nightmare, Filthy Rich is a businesspony that does buisness with her from time to time. She then told Lunar that she represents the Honesty element. through out the time Lunar was glad he was learning about Twilights friends. As Applejack finished apple bucking she was heading back to the farm with the gang when suddenly the applecart got loose and started going down hill

"OH DARN NOT AGAIN!" Applejack said

"Leave it to me apple…"

"Twilight let me handle this." Lunar said

Lunar then Ran down the steep hill, but he wasn't running the normal speed of a pony, he was running like lighting. Suddenly he started to go amazingly fast. The others were flabbergasted, Lunar was moving like lighting and like Rainbow Dash Flying through the air after preforming a Sonic Rainboom. Lunar then reached got ahead of the cart and stopped it, without the apples falling out. Rainbow Dash was shocked, Nyx looked at Rainbow Dash. "Looks like theres a fastest runner in equestria Rainbow" Nyx said smiling at Rainbow

"Well, i'm okay with it Nyx, i'm the fastest flyer, i not angry that there's a fast runner in equestria"

Lunar then came back up with the applecart and gave it back to Applejack. Applejack was stunned. "What..What in Celestias mane just happened?" Applejack asked Twilight

"I'm not sure, he flew in the air and got Fluttershys basket for her, he bended Water on Raritys Sewing machine that was on fire, and now this. I will need to ask Celestia about this."

Applejack and the gang then reached the farm house when suddenly they bump into Filthy Rich and DiamonD Tiara. "Hey Applejack." Rich greeted

"Howdy Mr. Rich what you need today?"

"I like to place a couple of apples for order."

As Mr Rich and Applejack were talking Diamond looked at Nyx. Nyx was now scared, Rainbow Dash even notice. "Whats wrong Nyx?" Rainbow Asked

"Diamond Tiara why are you here?"

"What point is there telling you. besides you shouldn't be a Princess, Nightmare Moon."

"Dont't. EVER. call. me. THAT."

"Diamond knock it off." said Rich

"OH Yeah, you looking for another beating, i'm still mad at you and that traitor for ratting me out. I thought that beating knock some sense into you."

Suddenly Twilight head just click, she just heard diamond confess that she beaten Nyx up on that day. Rainbow told her in a letter that she did and now she was hearing it from her. 'YOU DID WHAT TO MY DAUGHTER!?"

"Uh beat her up."

suddenly Filthy saw Twilight, she was now entering her Rageshift. she charged at Diamond an pinned her to the ground. "LISTEN HERE DIAMOND, IF YOU EVER, I REPEAT, EVER BEAT UP MY DAUGHTER AGAIN, I WILL PRESS JUVENILE CHARGES ACCOUNTED FOR ASSAULT ON YOU. I HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO SO.DO YOU UNDERSTAND?"

"D..daddy?"

"Diamond, agree with Mrs. Sparkle, you caused her to enter a Rageshift and you have to agree young lady. she does have a point that she does have the proper authority to press Juvenile Charges on you, since you are considered a Juvenile. now say the right thing or you're grounded for 5 months." said Filthy

"Okay i understand please don't hurt me."

Twilights rage shift ended and she got away from diamond tiara. "Good, also sorry for the rage shift. you should know those types of things cause it to happen to a unicorn. but fair warning, beat up Nyx again, and my Coltfriend and I will press Juvenile charges."

"Coltfriend."

"you don't get it? The blue stallion with the shield and 2 sword cutie mark is my moms coltfriend and my daddy also."

Diamond tiara was shocked she then backed away and the conversation ended. After Rich finished talking to Applejack and headed back home. Applejack looked at Twilight. "You are going to press Juvenile charges on her if she does it again."

"Yea, i do have the right and the authority to. but we should get going to meet Pinkie pie and plan the welcome party. so thanks for everything AJ."

"Nice seeing you Twi. Make sure to ask Celestia about what been happening."

With that they bidder Applejack farewell and headed on their way to there final stop. Twilight was only going to plan the party and then be on her way back to the Library to ask Celestia about the weird events that happen.

Author's Note

i predict the final chapters may be added sometime during this week.

The revealing Truth (epilogue)

The tour went great of Lunar, they made their final stop to sugarcube corner and met Pinkie. Pinkie was surprised, even since Twilight was giving Lunar a tour since he is now living in Ponyville. Pinkie even told Lunar about that she used to work on a rock farrm when she was little and then decided to throw parties for ponies who needed em. During the time Rainbow ordered them Friendship Cupcakes, but when they came, Pinkie played a Joke on Twilight and Lunar, by decorating em looking like they were from a pony with cutie marks. Rainbow and Pinkie found it funny and told them they got pranked. However, Lunar pulled a prank on them by Transforming the cherries secretly into eyeballs, which made Nyx, Twilight and Spike laugh. After eating at sugarcube corner, Pinkie said she is preparing the party. they said goodbye and went back to the library.

30 minutes later

Twilight, was pacing back and forth for the past 30 minutes. She sent a letter to Celestia asking if she knew about what was going on with Lunar, due to the strange abillities. The others were worried. "Mom, why is this bugging you so much, auntie Celestia should of sent a message by now." Nyx said

"I don't know Nyx, what if she thinks we are hallucinating due to what happen during the fight against The Children of the Shadows? What if she doesn't believe me?"

"That's why i came as quickly as i can Twilight."

Twilight and the others turned around and saw Celestia. the gave a bow. Twilight came up to Celestia. "Did you happen to figure out what is causing this to happen?" asked Twilight?

"I have Twilight. according to what you said, this is no power unicorns should have. But it turns out that it's because when he was resurrected after being killed by Dark Shadow, the emeralds replicated its powers to him due to being free from Dark Shadows blessing. the ability to fly is an ability that the holder is granted when they are in the super form, how ever, for Lunar he doesn't need a super form. as for the water bending, he's been granted the ability to bend the elements, Water, Earth, Fire, and Air. as for the speed, the emeralds gave it to him to get out of dangerous situations and for free use."

Everypony was speechless. this was out of the oridnary. Turned out Lunar was given a gift. "Thank you Celestia. i guess we should head to the official welcome party for Lunar."

"I won't waste any of your time. Thank you for contacting me."

With that Celestia went back to canterlot. the others got prepared to go to the party. Lunar was now going to have an official welcoming to Ponyville

_____________

high above the earth, many miles away from the planet wings could be hear flapping. A small Creature, known as a Space dragon was flying by. it seemed to be heading to the earth.

i'm nervous, starting a new life on a new planet. I really need a friend to live with, someone who wants a friend and pet of their own.

thought the space dragon. suddenly weird images came into her mind, a female alicorn filly, named Nyx appeared. Maybe she needs a friend and pet. she thought to herself. I will make it a surprise. When i'm her friend and pet, I will protect her. The Space Dragon then headed straight to the earth and started to head to the location where the alicorn filly is. Ever since the space dragon left her species and announced she was going to find a place to live that has life, she knew earth was the best planet because of its beauty and the life living on it. The last Space dragon that lived on earth protected lots of Ponies and had a great life. By now he is still living on earth but in a area where he can protect lifes. The female Space Dragon decided to find this Nyx child and become her friend. She was hoping that her new life on earth and in Equestria was going to be great

Author's Note

Well heres the final chapter for The day of the Lunar eclipse. so heres things to know

I came with the idea of making a Cupcake reference for fun

the bending is a reference to last airbender and legend of kora

I came up with the Space Dragon idea. the Space Dragons in the mlp universe are dragons that live in space across the universe.

Stay tuned for the next Nyx fic, A friend for Nyx, the third installment of the Nyx Chronicles.
