Link's P.O.V

As Zelda and I approach the alicorns, we bow before them.  "Now, look up," The taller alicorn said with benevolence.

"What is your name?" The dark blue alicorn asked.  I gasp for a moment- she is so beautiful.

"My name's Link. This is Zelda," I replied.

"I am Princess Luna of Equestria. This is Princess Celestia of Equestria," Luna said as she looks at me.  She seems serious, but her eyes shine with kindness and warmth.

"It is very nice to meet you. Where are you from?" She concluded as she smiles.  My heart flutters at her smile- her smile is adorable.

"We're from Hyrule, and we are looking for Ganondorf. We must take action before he teams up with a villain," Zelda said without hesistation.

I am still gazing at Princess Luna.  Her mane sparkles like the starry night sky as it ripples gently.  She seems serious, still, but she radiates with benevolence.  She is like a mix of Midna and Zelda.  As she continues to speak with Zelda about the villains, I start daydreaming about this beauty.  When Princess Luna asks me about what I am looking at, I start feeling surprised that she would notice.

"You're just so beautiful," I said.

"Why, thank you so much. You have a handsome smile," She replied.  I blush- I didn't realize that I was smiling until right now.  She must have noticed.

I'd like to get to know her better, but she is royalty, and I'm not of royal blood.  Whenever she speaks, her voice sounds soothing and smooth, like sweet chocolate.  She seems to be wise- and she has the essence of a goddess.

I hear the throne room doors open, and a weird-looking creature walks in.  "Discord, has Tirek escaped?" Celestia asked.

Discord shakes his head, and he starts to speak.  "I don't want to have to go through the same thing again- like betraying the good side, for example.  Also, it seems that the mysterious and bulky visitor has tried to find Tartarus," He said, "I wonder how he finds out."

"He probably didn't find out yet, though."

Discord snaps his fingers, and a blank canvas on the easel appears.  "Well, suppose that Ganondorf hears about Tirek and wants to team up with him. He could use his evil magic to find his way there, and then he would help Tirek to escape- leading to total destruction of Equestria and another land," He said as the ponies on the painting move around according to his observations.

"That will be dreadful!" Rarity said.

"Looks s-scary......" Fluttershy said softly.

"We can stop them, though!" Apple Jack and Rainbow Dash said in unison.

"The whole world could become gloomy as a result," Pinkie Pie said.

"I think Ganondorf will be as intimidating as Tirek," Twilight Sparkle said as she seems to shudder slightly.

"This isn't good," Zelda said, "I have to agree with them."

"I think Tirek would be challenging," I said, "I wonder what would happen if Ganondorf and Tirek merge their power together? A war might happen. Zelda, remember what happened with Lana and Cia?"

Zelda nods in response.  "So, maybe Luna and Nightmare Moon are going to separate from each other," She said.

I still remember what happened with Lana and Cia.  If Nightmare Moon is to separate from Princess Luna, then similar events may or may not happen.  Nightmare Moon could be a bit like Cia, while Luna, being Good Darkness, could be a bit like Lana.  Lana isn't Good Darkness- she doesn't have moon-given powers.  Luna has moon-given powers.

Luna immediately frowns, and I wonder if Zelda has unknowingly hurt her feelings.  "I hope I didn't hurt your feelings. What might you have done as Nightmare Moon long ago?" She asked.

"I....... Vowed to........ Shroud the world in eternal night, but Celestia banished me.  And I returned a few years ago, and got released by the Elements of Harmony. Please don't make me speak of that again....... It invokes bad memories....... I'm sure Nightmare is separated from me already," Luna replied.

"Okay, I won't make you speak of your past if it pains you so much. You do remind me a bit of Midna, though."

A shadowy alicorn appears by Luna, and Luna notices the alicorn.  "Nightmare Moon! What are you doing here?" Luna exclaimed.

The alicorn becomes more visible- she has a starry mane, but her features shout malevolence and hate and possibly anger.  She has a helmet that hides her face, making her look a bit masculine.  "You remember me? They heard the whole truth, and now they hate you," Nightmare Moon taunted.

"They didn't! All the ponies forgave me! Why do you have to ruin everything for me?! Why, I shall have you executed," Luna retorted.

"You resist, fool. You're so weak-willed, and even your new lover might leave you if you need saving!"

"We're not in love yet!"

"You always deny yourself, Luna."

Fluttershy is hiding behind Rainbow Dash as the two alicorns continue to argue.  The argument might break out into a full-on war, because Princess Luna is stubborn but good-natured, and because Nightmare Moon is an evil and devious villain that bullies her.  "See you on the battlefield," Nightmare Moon said as she flies away.

"It's Lana and Cia all over again," Zelda told me.

"Yup," I replied.

Luna simply keeps a serious and calm expression on her face.  "It's not funny if you have a counterpart or alter ego that is the opposite of you. Nightmare Moon only wants eternal darkness, while I want ponies to see how beautiful my night is.  I am benevolent, while Nightmare is malevolent.  We're like two sides of the moon," She told us.

Celestia looks at us for a moment.  "Princess Luna is more appreciated right now that more and more ponies stay up late. There even is a program that studies the stars and the moon. There are even classes in schools, colleges, and universities that study astronomy.  And whenever somepony has a bad dream, then Princess Luna swoops in to stop the nightmares! Sometimes she just gives subjects advice in their dreams," She said.

Luna nods in agreement, and as Discord speaks about what might be happening, we suddenly hear the throne doors open in a violent fashion.  Ganondorf and a centaur are standing in the doorway.  "The war will commence!" Ganondorf shouted, "I have given Tirek infinite power, and now we won't be stopped! All the ponies on our side are free and roaming around!"

Zelda turns around, and flashes her alicorn wings, as if to defend the ones around her.  "You're not easily getting away with this," She told Ganondorf, "We will stop you and your evil comrades!"

"You feisty alicorns! Do you think you can easily stop us just because you believe yourselves to have infinite power?!" Tirek taunted as a familiar alicorn jumps out from behind them.  A few changelings appear, along with Chrysalis.

"Uh oh," Twilight said.

Princess Luna and Princess Celestia immediately flash out their wings as if they're ready to fight.  Their determined expressions cause their features to harden, and I swear I can see the glint of courage in their eyes.  The guards seem ready to fight, too.  "This time, we shall fight back and take over Equestria!" Tirek shouted.

"Eternal darkness comes our way!" Nightmare Moon added in.

"I shall feed on love," Chrysalis said, "I will feed my subjects!"

"We take over the world together!" Ganondorf added in.

A smoky shadow appears, and transforms into an unicorn.  "Gloom- eternal doom!" The voice said.

"Sombra?! I thought you were defeated," Twilight Sparkle said in shock.

"It's not true. I have returned with the help of Ganondorf!"

"What are we gonna do?" Fluttershy asked.

"I say we fight back against them. Go get the Elements!" Celestia told Fluttershy and her friends.

"They're here," Discord said as he snaps his fingers.  Six gems appear, and the six mares are surprised.

Just then, Nightmare Moon destroys the Elements of Harmony with her magic.  "No!" Twilight Sparkle and her friends shouted in unison.

Many monsters enter the throne room, and they surround the villains.  They are glaring at us with scary, grotesque faces.  Fluttershy screams in terror as Celestia gasps.  Discord snaps his fingers once again, and now Celestia and Luna are wearing armor.  Discord is wearing his own armor, even though he has the magic to summon things and such.

Celestia and Luna levitate their spears, as if they're ready to fight the villains.  They seem even more determined and courageous.  Two other ponies appear, and I smile as I realize who they are.  Impa is a pegasus that is muscular, and she has a huge blade on her back.  Midna is a cross between floating imp and pony.  I suddenly feel shocked.  "What happened to you?" I asked.

"Ganondorf did this to me again," She replied.

Another pony with a purple mane and ruby eyes appear.  She must be Hilda.  "I decide to protect my kingdom," Hilda said nonchalantly as she levitates her staff.  She is an alicorn.

"So, is Ravio staying home?" I asked.

"Of course."

A light blue blur dashes towards me.  She is Lana- I can see by her light blue hair and her cheerfulness.  She is an unicorn.  "I decide to help you out," She said, "There will not be another loss."

"Okay," I replied.

The villains and the monsters storm out as we chase after them.  Parts of the town around the castle are destroyed.  The foals are sobbing, the mares are screaming, and the stallions are cursing.  I think that's because of the war.  A pink alicorn appears, and approaches the alicorn sisters.  "Call me Cadence," She said, "My husband and I decide to fight in the war to defend the Crystal Empire."

We enter a huge battlefield, and the war starts. The monsters start attacking the soldiers, but the soldiers are fighting back.  The villains are one with each other- literally.  Tirek shoots his magic at other ponies, Sombra keeps creating crystals and trying to corrupt other ponies, Chrysalis and the changelings are trying to trick us and feed on love, and Ganondorf is trying to stop the alicorn sisters.
