Luna's Lament

Luna looked at herself in her mirror. She didn't even know what she was anymore. Something evil was sewn into Luna's heart and soul. Something black as smoke. Something pure evil. Dark. Dark had rested herself and her fellow Nightmare Forces into Luna's heart and soul. They had taken over.

"Do it, Luna," whispered Dark in Luna's head. Luna knew what she had to do. In a fit of rage she ran as fast as she could into the throne room of her castle. It wouldn't be Celestia's much longer anymore. Luna trotted up the steps to her throne. Celestia stood feet away, about to yell and run toward her, but Luna stopped her in her tracks. "Not another step," Luna said sinisterly. "Did you really expect me to sit idly by why they all basked in your precious light?" shouted Luna.

Celestia didn't know what was going on. What was Luna so mad about? "There can only be one princess in Equestria, and that princess shall be ME!" Luna screamed. She smashed her hooves into the railing and flew upwards. Luna raised the moon over the sun, blotting it out. Suddenly, Dark tore herself out of Luna with a jolt and flew around her like a tornado. The others came, and Celestia stared in horror as Luna was surrounded by a ball of black and purple smoke. The Nightmare Forces shot away in wisp of simple smoke, but Celestia didn't notice. Something more sinister stood before her.

This was no longer Princess Luna. A black pony with smoke-like blue mane hovered in front of her. She had pointed, sharp teeth and black cat like pupils, along with a silver helmet, shoes, and breast plate. "Hahaha, hahaha!" shouted the mare. "Luna, you must lower the moon!" yelled Celestia. "Luna? I am Nightmare Moon!" Nightmare Moon declared triumphantly. She laughed crazily, then shot a light blue ray at Celestia.

Celestia dodged it,and stared at Nightmare Moon. What had happened to Luna? What did Luna not tell her? Nightmare Moon's horn glowed and a burst of bluish silver light carved a large crack in the ceiling. Celestia did not want to fight her own sister. She flew through the crack and out into the night. "And where do you think you're going?" Nightmare Moon screeched as she took off after Celestia.

Celestia hovered just feet away from  Nightmare Moon. Nightmare Moon's eyes glowed white, and bluish silver sparks flew around Nightmare Moon's hooves. Nightmare Moon suddenly shot out a ray headed straight for Celestia's heart.
