Spike shot out a letter from the princess. Twilight! A letter from princess Luna! Oh bring it here,it might be urgent. Dear, Twilight before reading any farther please gather your friends and hurry! Twilight did exactly what Luna told her and gathered the mane six at the library.Twilight read the rest aloud. Twilight, you and your friends must go to the ancient castle of the royal pony sisters were I once grew up and threatened the land. For even though you all have saved me from the nightmare I was, the being that controlled me still lingers. Celestia and I believe that you need to vanquish it before it takes the mind of another. Use you elements of harmony. For we will be waiting for you outside the castle.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The mane six and Spike go to the castle with there elements to meet the Princess. They teleported to the castle with Princess Twilights magic. They got there so fast the Princess was not there yet." Well, it seems we got here early" stated Princess Twilight. A burst of yellow and blue magic appears and so do the Princess. Luna starts to speak. " Are thou all present? Good, lets begin our mission." Luna nodded to Celestia to open the plans up and start. Celestia explains the plans the princess have written. " We will split up into groups, and each group will have a different job. Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Spike I want you to go and scout out the castle mark the closed off areas on these blue prints. Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Applejack go and collect 20 twigs, 6 large cobwebs, and sweets from sugar cube corner, lots of them. Twilight, Luna, Rarity and I will set up a trap with what you have collected. "You can count on us Princess, we wont let you down." said Applejack. They ran off while the Princess stayed here.
Twilight being Twilight started to ask questions to Celestia. " So why did you ask for the twigs, candy, and the cobwebs? "The supplies are to lure the spirit out. Luna never liked many sweets when she was Luna, but as nightmare moon she did so this spirit can be lured with sweets." Rainbow,Rarity,and Spike come back with the blue prints Celestia gave them. "We only found 3 rooms completely closed off." said Rarity.
Applejack and Pinkie Pie came back. AJ had a cart with the twigs, and Pinkie had a cart of party cannons.
" Umm, pinkie i thought you were going to get candy." Questioned Twilight.
"I did. The rock candy is in the cannons, DUH!" Pinkie shot one of the cannons off and Rainbow caught it in her mouth. crunching the rock candy in utter bliss, even though the last time she had some she was sick, she wanted to remember Maud.
"Well we are waiting on Fluttershy to convince those darn spiders to give us some webbing of theirs." announced Applejack
"Flutters are you done yet?" continued Applejack
"Almost. It takes them a while to create webs. They would not just give up their homes, so they made us some fresh webs."
" Well now that that is done, I need Rarity to join Twilight, Celestia and I in making the traps since we all have horns." Luna said almost in a Canterlot voice. She was so uncomfortable with the idea of spiders making webs in her hoof.It was revolting to even think about such a thing. She just hates the idea of wet and freshly warm webs on her, it makes her sick to her stomach.
"Alright, lets begin." Luna started to explain how to create the trap." First take 3 sticks and make sure they an connect like this. then chew up 3 candy rocks and stick the sticks together.Then place the cobweb in the sticks. Ohh i cant do it anymore!!" Luna ran off into the castle.
"Luna!! Wait for me sister! you ponies stay here." Celestia commanded as she ran off after her sister. Celestia was frightened as much as Luna was to those still warm webs. She had no idea why she ran off, or what was eating her up to the point she could not take it. Celestia was on the trail of Luna. When she got close enough Celestia pounced and tackled her sister.
"Luna! You got me so worried about you!" shouted Celestia. "Luna? who is this Luna you speech of?" Said the spirit that they were looking for. Celestia examined the spirit closely, she found that the spirit was of Nightmare moon still wandering the castle but as a ghost."What did you do to my sister!" Celestia screamed in a booming voice. Celestia a ruler of Equestria had rasied her voice the loudest she had in centuries all because she was afraid her she would lose her dear sister once again. "Do you mean that pony that fell down into a trap?" said Nightmare moon "Were is the trap?" Celestia said in a normal voice. "Yeah she pressed one of those tiles and wosh down the whole she went." Celestia had a bad feeling about going after Luna and about this spirit. But none the less, she backed up through the doorway, and ran forward. She stepped on the tile and fell though the trap.

Chapter 2: Down the Rabbit Hole
Scrrrrraaaap Celestia`s shoes went as she fell. She tried to use her magic to put her on the ground below her, but there was something preventing her from doing so. So Celstia just got prepared for whats coming to her. Smack!! as she hit the concrete marble ground before her. "uhh." she felt dizzy and heard a noise, it sounded slimy and slick. Celestia is on her belly, badly concussed, and is still dizzy when she is grabbed by the slimy thing.
"AHHHHHHH!" she Screams. The monster put a tentacle n her mouth to silence her it almost hurt her with its thorns as it dragged her away by the hoof. Being concussed she fell unconscious into a dream. She saw her self in a mirror, she saw her sister behind her and turned around. " Ohh sister are you okay in the real world?" All Luna did was shake her head no. "Well what is wrong my sister? You can tell me anything." Luna summoned a paper and quil and wrote." The nightmare has consumed me once again and this time it is not my fault. For it has ..." " For it has what my sister?" " I cant bring myself to say it so i will show you. Luna used her magic and brought Celestia to the past were Luna was consumed in darkness once again.
