Previous ChapterNext Chapter

For the rest of the day Discord and Moonlight were in their room. Moonlight was still anxious. Discord was becoming more worried about her. "Are you sure YOUR not the one that doesn't feel alright? Your starting to scare me a bit." Discord said. Moonlight shook her head. "I don't know! I just can't believe that she hurt you! But it's a good thing you still won. Wait.......is that supposed to be a good thing?" Discord grabbed her and pulled her down onto the bed.. "You need to relax. Look at me. I'm right in front of you, I'm fine. Trust me." Moonlight nodded. "Okay.....I t-t-trust you....." Discord stared at her. "Trust me my dear. I'm not going to hurt you." Moonlight looked into his eyes. "I trust you." Discord's eyes became swirly. Moonlight's eyes matched his. Then her breathing slowed down, and she seemed less tense. "Feel better?" Discord asked. Moonlight nodded. "Yes, thank you. I find everything easy when you use magic on me." Discord smiled. "Then you would be the first. If I were you I would probably just lie down for a while." Moonlight sighed. "I think I can do that." Moonlight got underneath the blankets and closed her eyes. "At midnight, you're going to have to go against Celestia and Luna." Discord said. Moonlight didn't move. "Okay." Discord was surprised, every other time he mentioned that she would get nervous, that spell he used on her must have been strong. Now he was a little glad he had used it. "Can you stay with me?" Moonlight asked in a quiet voice. "Yes, why?" Discord replied. "I feel more comfortable and safe when your with me." Moonlight explained. She began to yawn. For some reason she felt extremely tired. Discord watched as she quickly fell asleep, he knew she was going to get nervous again, and he didn't want anyone to touch her. So after he flew out of their room, he locked the door.

Moonlight slept almost all day, by the time she woke up the moon was almost up. She walked over towards the window, from the other side of the arena she could see Luna and Celestia. Moonlight didn't want to think about them, she left the window and walked towards the door. But it was locked. She could have easily gotten out, but She knew Discord had probably locked the door for a reason, and he was going to come back. Moonlight sighed, she knew when Discord came back she was going to have to get back in bed again. But still, she felt like she needed to do something. She walked towards the window and caused herself to vanish. She reappeared in front of her home. She flew into the window of her room. This is were so many events had taken place. She found the drawing that Ink Illustration had made of a wedding dress. So many memories filled this place, and part of her wanted to make them go away. She walked into the hallway filled with stained glass windows. Had she really been a part of all this? The first stained glass window was showed Moonlight and Discord at a young age. The next few showed them getting older and taller, slowly starting to. Then she found the window of Dark Chaos, the window showed Moonlight on the ground. Discord was standing in front of her trying to protect her. She knew what happened next. The window of him taking over Equestria, it showed him controlling ponies like puppets. The next window showed them meeting again, and surrounding them was her five friends. Then she found the window that made her cry. Celestia and Luna turning him to stone. Celestia and Luna were flying around him using their magic. While Discord's statue cast a shadow over Moonlight. She slowly began to back up. All the stained glass windows were beginning to scare her. It was very rare when Moonlight found something she was scared of. She felt her heart beating faster, images swirled through her mind. It was too much, she flew out of the hallway, out of her room and back to the arena. She got into her room and quickly went underneath the blankets. Despite the fact that many blankets were on her, she felt cold. Then she heard Discord come in. Moonlight looked up at him. "Discord.....I'm scared." Discord stopped. He had never heard her say that before. "What's wrong?" He asked in a nervous tone. Moonlight shook her head. "I don't know." He reached out to touch her. She felt cold, something was wrong. "Go back to sleep. You don't have to be scared." Moonlight slowly shut her eyes. Why was Discord acting strange?

It was midnight. Moonlight walked out of the room. Discord was waiting for her. "Discord, why are you here?" Moonlight asked. Discord looked down at her. "They aren't going to hurt you, none of them are." Moonlight looked at the ground. "How do you know?" Discord narrowed his eyes. "Look at me." Moonlight quickly looked up. She stared at his eyes. "Trust me, I love you." Moonlight sighed. "I love you too." Discord quickly flew off. Moonlight walked towards the arena. She felt nervous again, she could hear her heart beating. When she got to the arena she looked at the other side. Celestia and Luna were there. Trust me Moonlight Chaos saw Discord and her friends. They were all sitting watching, waiting for the match to start. Discord had a serious look on his face. King Sombra, Nightmare Moon, and Queen Chrysalis were below him. They all had evil smiles on their faces. Then Celestia and Luna stepped out into the arena. Moonlight took a deep breath, slowly she walked inside. The arena was barely lit this time. Only a few small torches were lit up. It gave them enough light to barely see. The moon was right in the middle of the sky. Everything was silent. Then suddenly a giant spark of magic flew into the sky and lit the large torch at the end of the arena. The match had started.

Moonlight stood still, waiting for Celestia or Luna to do something. Then she saw Celestia's horn begin to glow. She sent a large beam of light towards Moonlight. As the beam got closer Moonlight waited. Just as it was about to hit her she blocked it. That's when things started to get harder. Luna and Celestia both send magic blasts towards her. Moonlight's horn flashed and she disappeared. She quietly appeared behind Celestia and Luna. When the two sisters turned around Moonlight hit them with her magic. They were pushed backwards. But they weren't hurt. Then Celestia and Luna began to combine their power. They put their horns together and a large rainbow light appeared. Moonlight used her magic to create a dark swirling force of magic. The two energies were pushing against each other. But for some reason Celestia and Luna's magic was beginning to defeat Moonlights. Then their magic pushed her back. Causing her to be pushed and dragged against the ground. For a moment Moonlight was still. Then she slowly got up. She looked down and saw the ring Discord gave her. It was covered in dirt, and the gem in the middle was cracked.The ring itself was broken and in hundreds of pieces. Moonlight bit her lip hard, choking back the tears."No......NO NO NO NO!" She was too angry to say anything else. She found a few pieces were on her hooves, the crystal no longer sparkled the way it used to. "No....." Moonlight grew angry. She turned towards Luna and Celestia. "HOW DARE YOU! FIRST YOU TURN DISCORD TO STONE, THEN YOU INSULT HIM, AND NOW YOU DESTROYED MY MOST VALUABLE POSSESSION.....!" Her teeth grew very sharp, her red and yellow eyes grew brighter, her coat turned into a deep black, and her wings began to grow slightly longer. She looked terrifying. Moonlight's horn began to glow and she sent a black beam of magic flying towards Luna and Celestia. They couldn't avoid it and they were both pushed to the ground. They both had cuts and were covered in bruises. Celestia slowly opened her eyes. She slowly stood up and watched Luna open her eyes. Moonlight narrowed her eyes. She couldn't feel anything anymore, the pain went away, all her sadness was drained. Her emotions were gone. She couldn't feel happiness, fun, or love anymore. Moonlight was no longer afraid, but now she had become one of the most terrifying beings in the world.

Discord watched as Moonlight Chaos stepped into the arena. Then he sent a large ray of magic into the air to light the large torch. The final game had begun. Celestia had made the first move, but Moonlight had easily blocked it. Only after the first actions were made did Moonlight start to play. She was fighting hard, but Discord had seen her fight much harder then this. He noticed Luna and Celestia were starting to combine their magic. They hit Moonlight and sent her flying to the ground. She wasn't getting up. "Come on Moonlight, please get up." He said to himself. Then he saw Moonlight starting to move. When she got up she looked down at the ground. Then Discord knew what she was looking at. "Oh no." It was the ring he had given her, it was broken. He saw her getting angry. What happened next even he hadn't expected. She began to yell. "HOW DARE YOU! FIRST YOU TURN DISCORD TO STONE, THEN YOU INSULT HIM, AND NOW YOU DESTROYED MY MOST VALUABLE POSSESSION.....!" He watched as Moonlight began to change. Her teeth were now like knives, her wings were getting bigger and longer, her eyes were glowing, and her coat was fading into an ink black. She narrowed her eyes and flashed a wicked smile. For the second time in his life, Moonlight Chaos was scaring him, for real. This wasn't like the time where she had turned into Dark Chaos, this wasn't like the times she thought he didn't love her, this wasn't even like the time he had almost lost her forever. She had become a being of revenge. Even King Sombra, Nightmare Moon, and Queen Chrysalis were shocked. Discord watched as Celestia hit her with a beam of magic. Then Celestia, Luna and Moonlight began to disappear. Nopony knew where they went, then they saw a large light appear from the top of a nearby mountain. Discord flew towards it, he had never gone so fast before.

"Come out and play, so we can have some fun!" Moonlight whispered. She looked around, she didn't see anyone. Then she heard a noise, she aimed her horn towards the sound and hit it. Her magic crushed a rock and behind it was Luna. She looked scared. Moonlight was about to attack when she heard Celestia. "Stay away from her you monster!" Moonlight cackled. "Ah, and now the real fun can begin now that your both here!" Celestia and Luna both tried to hit her, but their attempts were useless. Moonlight hit Luna causing her to hit her head against a large rock putting her into a state of unconsciousness. "Leave her alone!" Celestia yelled. Moonlight turned her head quickly. She looked insane, her eyes were glowing even brighter then before and she teeth were glistening in the light of the moon. "Make me....." Moonlight said in a scary tone. Celestia tried hitting her with multiple rays of energy, but only one of them hit Moonlight. Her nose was bleeding, and blood was dripping on her teeth. Moonlight knocked Celestia down, and she slowly walked towards her. Just as Moonlight was about to finish her off they both heard a familiar voice. "Stop!" Moonlight turned towards the noise. It was Discord. "Well, well, look who's come to join the party!" Moonlight said with delight. But Discord didn't smile back. "But this is a party I'm going to crash....." He flew towards Moonlight and raised his claw towards her. "I'm sorry....." He said in a quiet voice. His claw brushed right up against Moonlight's face. Giving her a large cut across her entire face. Moonlight screamed. She covered half her face with her hoof. When she let go, she had a large mark scaring her face. Discord looked at his claw. "What have I done?" Moonlight grit her teeth. She aimed her horn at Discord and tried to hit him with her magic. Discord didn't want to hurt her anymore so all he did was block her spells. Each time he saw Moonlight she looked more hurt and scarier. He figured the only way to stop her, was to use magic on her. He flew towards her and pinned her down. Moonlight was kicking and fighting to get away. But Discord held on her to her tightly. He got rid of her horn before she could do anything. "Get off of me!" Moonlight demanded. "No, I'm not letting you go." Discord said. Moonlight grit her teeth, showing him their sharpness and the blood covering them. "Get off me now you fool!" Moonlight yelled. Discord tried to think of a way to get her to stay still. "Trust me, I can't hurt you." Moonlight narrowed her eyes. "And why would I believe that?" Discord stared at her. "Because you always do." Moonlight stopped moving for a moment, it gave Discord enough time to try and cast a spell on her. His eyes began to grow swirly. Moonlight's started to match his, but all she did was smirk. "Don't even bother, I'm immune to your power. I can resist you easily." Then she pushed him off of her with a large abundance of force. Her horn was back somehow. Discord landed next to Celestia. "Discord.......you need to........use......the Elements." Celestia told him. Discord shook his head. "No, I'm not doing that. She's hurt enough Celestia. Why can't you see that? You and your sister have never understood us, and now I see why!" Celestia sighed. "I can, but you need to stop her, I'm too weak. Luna is still unconscious, she only trusts you. You have to stop her now." Discord felt his heart sink. "Why should I listen to you?" Celestia looked up at him with fear in her eyes. "Because you love her, and I know you want her to love you back again." Discord knew Celestia was right. He did want Moonlight to love him, more then anything. "She won't ever look at me or talk to me again." Celestia had a sad look on her face. Discord snapped his fingers. The Elements of Chaos appeared, he broke the rule. "I'm sorry Moonlight......... please forgive me......"
