The Legend of Equestria: A Fight Against Evil

Luna's P.O.V

As we get out of the Everfree Forest, I notice that Canterlot Castle is in a different state, with the thunder booming across the land.  Instead of light, there is complete darkness all over.  What did Nightmare Moon do this time? We'll find out now.  Just as we start running towards the castle, I sense an evil entity chasing us.  We stop, and I turn around.

A familiar figure smirks evilly. It's Nightmare Moon!  "What are you doing here?!" I asked, "What have you done this time? What do you want from all of us?!"

"Oh, you fools! You'll never escape me now that I will shroud you with the darkness.  I can see darkness radiating from your bodies," She taunted, "Link, I sense too much pride and overconfidence coming from you. And Lana, you once had an evil half. Luna, why are you always trying to stop me?!"

"That's it, Nightmare Moon! I'll keep you away from Luna!" Link shouted as he starts attacking Nightmare Moon.  As he swings his sword at Nightmare's face, Nightmare's helmet flies off.  Link seems shocked for a moment as he looks at me, and then at Nightmare Moon.

"You look like each other," He said.

"That's because..... Nightmare and I were once the same pony. She symbolizes my dark emotions that once consumed me long ago.  She is the opposite of me- she's hateful, bitter, angry, and malevolent.  She was just another voice in my head, and when the emotions combine with jealousy, I went mad because of her influence.  I was banished for a thousand years and then Twilight and her friends released me from Nightmare Moon.  That's how Nightmare Moon and I got separated. Now she's plotting to shroud the world in eternal darkness," I told them.

"You had it more rough than I do," Lana told me, "But, I know how it feels to have a worse half. Cia is like that- she's a bit like this mare, if you ask me. Cia and I were once the same pony, too.  That is until she became jealous of Zelda.  After that, we separated, and that's how I was made. And Nightmare Moon might have been purged out of you. Cia died some time ago before we met, because of her connection with the enemies."

"Wow, we have some things in common.  Cia sounds a bit like Nightmare Moon. And you sound a bit like me. Well, Nightmare Moon and I have an unending fight over who owns the moon, the stars, and the night."

"Cia once tried to use the Triforce of Power for evil, but I won it from her."

We continue speaking of our similiarities as Nightmare Moon interrupts.  "Who is this 'Cia' you were speaking of?" She asked.

"She was my evil half, just like how you were Luna's evil half," Lana told her.

Link smiles sadly as he looks at me.  "I didn't mean to hurt you when I asked about your other half. Luna, it's okay to talk about a dark past.  Lana understands because she was once a part of Cia," He said as he touches my chin gently.  I stare into his eyes, and he stares into mine.

I smile as a tear runs down my cheek. "You are such kind and understanding friends. I'm so glad to ever meet you," I said.

"It's friendship that helps you relate to others," Lana told me.

"Oh, what a pathetic moment to share, fools!" Nightmare Moon taunted, "You think their friendship can open the doors to your heart?"

"Of course! Luna deserves a pony that can connect with her, unlike you! You're just a figment of negative emotions," Lana shouted as she walks in between me and Nightmare Moon, "You know nothing about love, but Luna does! Why did you once try to push away the light in her heart long ago?!"

"Oh, you fool. That's because she was jealous and I decided to make her life miserable! She's more miserable right now that-"

"Stop bullying Luna, would you?" Link shouted at Nightmare Moon, "She doesn't deserve to be bullied anymore! It's as if you were bullying her for eternity!"

Nightmare Moon simply scoffs at their words as she flies into the sky.  She seems to be going towards the moon.  "That is my moon, not yours!" I shouted at her.

Link, Lana, and I enter the castle, and Celestia approaches us, along with many others that are on the good side.  "Luna, you're okay. I probably heard you having a shouting match with Nightmare Moon," She said.

"It's not a shouting match. Link and Lana were kind of defending me from her," I replied.

"It's always the two heroes that keep you safe."  She nods at Lana and Link for a moment before leading all of us to the dungeon.

Link and I gaze at each other for a minute.  I blush for a moment as he smiles.  I wink at him, and he blushes slightly.  "Without you, I wouldn't have gone this far," I said.

"Yeah. You're also brave," He replied.

Okay, is he mistaking me for Celestia again? So far, I feel slightly fearful for the fate of the kingdom. Celestia may feel the same, but she's very strong, courageous, and determined, even though Nightmare Moon believes otherwise about her.

As we enter the Canterlot Dungeon, many monsters and possessed guards pop up.  "I bet Twilight and her friends are in here," Zelda said, "They have been imprisoned for about a half hour."

Midna, Hilda, and Zelda join forces to fight off the monsters.  They make an awesome duo, even though they're royalty.  Cadence shoots a huge magical beam at a giant spider with a skull on its back.  Shining Armor rushes at the spider, and uses his spear to cut through the beast.  One of the corrupted guards pound my head with a club, and then I feel a throbbing pain.

I begin to pass out.

Celestia's P.O.V

"Luna, no!" I said as I approach my sister.  I fend off the surrounding possessed guards with my magic as I try to defend my unconcious sister.  Sheesh, those annoying enemies won't let me make time for my dear sister! I'm still slightly frustrated at not being able to help my sister, and slightly angry at the thought of Twilight and her friends being kidnapped by the villains.

Frustration and anger channels into my courage, and I can feel the emotions surging throughout my whole body.  Then, I feel like blasting off all the enemies at once so that I could help my sister. She's not bleeding, though...... I conjure a really powerful spell that burns the enemies.  All the enemies burst into flames as I turn my attention to my sister.

I use a healing spell on her, and then she wakes up.  "Celestia, what happened?" She asked.

"If you want to know, I fought off the enemies so that I could try to heal you," I replied.

"Okay, thanks," She replied as she stands up.  She starts flying into the air as she starts shooting the enemies with her magic.

Zelda's P.O.V

As Luna and her sister continue to fend off the possessed guards, I hear something that sounds like a loud clang and a loud shout for help.  "I think it's Twilight and her friends! Let's follow the scream," I told everypony.

We all run deeper into the dungeon, and I keep calling Twilight's name.  "Where are you?" I shouted.

"Look to the left!" The voice shouted back.

We turn our heads to the left, and a few of the ponies immediately rush to the cell.  We all follow them, and I realize that the prisoners are the ponies that we were looking for.  Twilight Sparkle smiles with relief, and Fluttershy seems scared.  Rainbow Dash and Apple Jack seem a bit impatient, and Pinkie Pie has the same reaction like Twilight's.

Rarity seems disgusted by the surroundings.  "Get us out already!" She said.

"Have anypony found a key yet?" I asked.

"Of course. I was fighting with this one guard, and I grabbed the key from him," Link replied as he lends the key to me.  I levitate the key, and then I press it into the lock.

As the cell door opens, Twilight immediately rushes to Shining Armor and Cadence, and thanks them.  "No, it wasn't us that saved you, but it was Zelda. She is a great leader- and she helped us to find you," Cadence said, "So you should thank her."

Twilight smiles at me with gratefulness, and I smile back.  Rainbow Dash and Apple Jack simply argue with each other about who's more of a damsel-in-distress.  Rarity is still complaining about how dirty the cell makes her mane and coat.

Pinkie Pie hops with excitement, and I give her a stern expression. "This isn't a time for celebration. The villains and the monsters are still attacking the kingdom," I said.

"I don't even want to fight those scary villains," Fluttershy told me.

"You have to! Have courage and face your fears!" I reminded her quickly.

Just then, I hear a loud scream and some devious laughter.  Was somepony kidnapped again?! "Let's see how many of you are there," I said.

I count the alicorns, the other ponies, and the soldiers.  "What happened to Princess Luna?!" I asked.

"Did Nightmare Moon kidnap her?!" Link asked.

"Where did Nightmare Moon take her?" Twilight asked, "Do we have to go to the moon? There's not any oxygen."

"This isn't good," Rainbow said, "There would be eternal darkness. There would be no more Luna."

"And the crops will freeze," Apple Jack said.

"Then who will be the next Moon princess now that Luna is stolen?" Rarity asked.

"Oh, my......." Fluttershy whispered meekly.

"I saw it happen! We must go to the moon," Lana said.

"But didn't Twilight say-" Pinkie Pie said as Celestia interrupts her with her hoof.

"Comrades and recruits! We must find and rescue Princess Luna from Nightmare Moon!" Celestia boomed.  I swear that I can hear the warrior-like voice in her tone.  She seems about ready to save her sister.

As we get out of the dungeon, we notice a familiar pony trying to stop us in our tracks. I look around- now Canterlot is shrouded in the twilight!  "This is not good! Zant has been freed," Midna said with worry in her tone.

"I know," I replied, "We now have to stop Zant."

I realize something. If Celestia, Twilight and her friends can use the "Elements of Harmony," then maybe they have the power to get onto the moon.

"I have an idea. Lana, Midna, Hilda, Impa, and I will fight Zant. Celestia, you can help Twilight and her friends to find Luna," I said.

"What will I do?" Link asked.

"You can go with them, if you want," I said, "But I want you to be safe."

"Okay."

They all teleport to the moon as the girls and I start fighting Zant.
