Your Human And You: Feet First Into Hell

"Seize her!" the old mare shouted, pointing a hoof at Nightmare Moon. "Only she knows where the Princess is!"

On command, three golden armored pegasi charged at the massive, black mare.

'No!' Luna shouted in the prison that was Nightmare Moon. 'Don't try to attack her!'

"Stand back, you foals!" Nightmare Moon shouted.

The massive cloud that erupted from Nightmare Moon's mane shot forth several lightning bolts that struck the Guards. They all screamed in agony as the electricity danced through their armor, and seared their coats and flesh underneath. After the strike, the bolts sent the pegasi across the space within the building. When they landed on the ground, limp and smoking, Nightmare Moon wrapped her own smokey mane around her body, and dispersed into the air as a cloud.

'Why torture those that you seek to rule!? What do you have to gain from their suffering!?' Luna shouted at Nightmare Moon.

"Simple," Nightmare Moon began to reply, "you wanted them to realize how much they were hurting you. How much they were hurting us. I'm simply doing what you wanted all those centuries ago. Besides, you've seen first-hoof how powerful Fear magic is, what with that foalish unicorn and his crystals. Once we attain the fears of all ponies in Equestria, nothing will stop us!"

'No! I never asked for any of this! I just wanted them to know that I still existed as well, not for them to all fear me! Besides, the Elements of Harmony are still out there! You will be stopped!'

"Perhaps in your little fantasy, but I-"

Nightmare Moon and Luna halted their argument when they passed by a building and saw a familiar creature inside. One they had seen only moments ago, only in massively different circumstances.

"It... it can't be," Nightmare Moon spoke with disbelief.

The mist that was Nightmare Moon shifted through a set of closed doors and materialized into her physical form when both she and Luna gazed upon what lay before them. It was almost exactly like one of the many creatures that they had seen aboard the metallic vessel above the Moon, but was significantly different. This one was noticeably skinnier, almost to the point of exposing alien bones and organs, and was considerably shorter, almost by a full foot or so. Its mane was cropped short, and was coated in dirt, while its face displayed a look of terror as it crawled away on its alien limbs, backing into a wall. As it did, the cloth it wore became apparent, as the scraping of the brown burlap covers began to drag on the wooden floor.

Nightmare Moon dropped her threatening demeanor almost instantly as she approached the creature, her tone curious above all else.

"What are you?" she asked, standing before it and examining its body. "I thought your kind would send a retaliation, but how long have you been here? Are you stranded? Were those other ones I saw here to rescue you or more of your kind?"

Before the barrage of questions could be dragged on, a clattering sound could be heard from her left. Nightmare Moon turned to see that a few more skinny, short aliens were standing together in a corner, behind it which she could see a pony staring through a crack in the door. The alicorn huffed at the sight of the pony, but remained still as she went back into her mist form.

'What... what's going on?' Luna asked. 'Why are the aliens here? And why do they look so... terrible?'

"I... I'm, just as lost as you are," Nightmare Moon responded before absentmindedly taking off towards the Castle of the Two Sisters.
