Link's P.O.V

We teleport to the moon, and I feel surprised at how small the Earth is from a distance.  I notice an onyx castle in the distance- so that's where Nightmare Moon is keeping Luna.  There are multiple moving shadows on the lunar surface.

"I bet you can revive the Elements of Harmony," Celestia said to Twilight and her friends.

"How?" Twilight asked.

"Just act out the Elements as we try to break into the onyx castle. It seems heavily guarded by the Nightmare Forces."

"The Nightmare Forces?" I asked, puzzled.

"Yes. The Nightmare Forces are created in the Shadow World long ago by the original ruler of that world, called Death Rose.  Death Rose is originally the Queen of the Underworld, but when she senses the negative emotions from this world, she decides to turn them into the ponies that are the opposite of us- malevolent, hateful, angry, bitter, and devious. The portal to that world is supposed to be sealed, but when the devious Underworld Queen meets my sister, she can sense the jealousy inside of her.  She placed a dark curse on my sister, to corrupt her and create Nightmare Moon."

"Is that how the eternal night almost happened a thousand years ago?"

"Of course. I banished Nightmare Moon because I don't know how I can save Luna from her influence.  Then, I found out about Death Rose, and I imprisoned her in the Shadow World out of anger. When Princess Luna returned, Nightmare Moon is separated from her by the Elements of Harmony."

"I've heard some of the story from other ponies that we know."

"I've had a dream about Death Rose a few days ago before the war.  She has escaped the Shadow World, and she feels angry that the curse didn't last for long. She wants to destroy the world and to curse all of us.  If you ask me about her, she's pretty much immortal.  She hasn't died yet, and she's still going strong. Even though I wanted to stop Nightmare Moon, I was no longer connected to the Elements of Harmony. And neither is Luna......."

As we follow Twilight and her friends, a black fog surrounds us.  They all scream in terror, except for Pinkie Pie.  "Pinkie, why aren't you scared?" Twilight asked.

"Remember the song I sang? Before we first used the Elements?" Pinkie replied.

"Oh. Are you gonna sing that nursery rhyme?" Rainbow remarked.

"It's not a rhyme!" Apple Jack replied.

"I don't want to become Nightmare Rarity again!" Rarity said.

Pinkie Pie starts singing a silly song to get her friends to face their fears.  The black fog disappears, and a gem appears.  "The Element of Laughter!" She said as she picks it up.

We start walking closer to the castle, and for some strange reason, a few of the shadowy ponies seem interested in Rainbow Dash.  "Rainbow Dash, we heard that you're one of the world's greatest flyers. Will you join the Shadowbolts?" One of them asked.

"You already know the answer, and it is no! I will stay by my friends no matter what," Rainbow retorted as the shadowy ponies disappear.  Another gem appears.

"The Element of Loyalty," She concluded as she picks it up.

We continue walking closer to the castle, and just as we start walking on the drawbridge, Rarity starts to slip off.  "Help!" She screamed, and Apple Jack quickly grabs her.

"Let go. You'll be okay," Apple Jack said.

"Are you sure?"

"Of course. Trust me."

"Okay....... three, two, one......."  Rarity starts screaming as Rainbow Dash and I quickly catch her.

Another gem appears- I bet it could be the Element of Honesty, because Apple Jack told the truth.  Rainbow Dash and I place Rarity onto the ground, and Rarity thanks us.  "The Element of Honesty," Apple Jack said as she picks up that gem.

A shadowy bunny suddenly yelps in pain, and Fluttershy approaches it.  "Hey, what's wrong?" She asked as she comforts the creature.

The bunny seems to calm down as a splinter falls out of its front paw.  Another gem appears, and Fluttershy gasps.  "The Element of Kindness," She said as she picks up the gem.

An unusual wind forces my cap off of my head.  "Now it's gone," I said.

"Don't worry. I have a spare green hat that's just as floppy," Rarity told me as she levitates a hat.

She places the hat onto my head, and I smile gratefully.  "Thanks," I replied.

Another gem appears, and Rarity picks it up.  "The Element of Generosity," She said.

We all walk into the castle, and we notice a huge throne room.  Nightmare Moon sits upon the throne, chuckling evilly.  Princess Luna is by the window, and she is turned to stone. "You have come to find Luna. Now she's gone!" Nightmare Moon said.

"Why did you turn her to stone?!" Celestia demanded, "Release our sister or feel the power of the Elements! You'll feel sorry that you ever served Death Rose!"

"The underworld queen, huh?"

"Of course!"

Twilight Sparkle and her friends approach Nightmare Moon, and that is when Twilight seems to realize something.  "Where's the Element of Magic?!" She asked.


Zelda's P.O.V

Midna finishes Zant off as quick as she can, and the twilight starts to disappear.  It is still dark outside, because of Nightmare Moon's desire to shroud the world in eternal darkness.  I bet Link is being like a "knight in shining armor" as he tries to find Princess Luna.  Canterlot is still not completely back to normal- it is still filled with multiple monsters and possessed guards.

Midna, Hilda, Impa, Lana, and I decide to cleanse this city of the monsters, zombie ponies, and the possessed guards.  "Let's save the city," I said.

We start fighting the creatures, and then we infiltrate the buildings to find other creatures.  Cadence and Shining Armor continue to fight the bigger enemies.  A mysterious alicorn with a dark aura appears, and she starts asking about where Nightmare Moon is.  "Who are you?" Shining asked.

"I am Death Rose. I am here to corrupt all the other ponies- I'm the one who creates the Nightmare Forces," The alicorn replied, "I am the Queen of the Underworld!"

"What?! You're the cause of Nightmare Moon!" Cadence said.

"Right you are, cowards that bring light. I will find the moon this very night!" Death Rose said as she levitates a dark staff with a skull.  She then disappears as we all stand here, shocked, yet surprised. Is she going to be the major villain or not?

Also, I wonder how many more villains we will encounter.  Just as we rush out of the building, we hear a dragon roaring. We look up, and a dragon is attacking a town in the distance.  "We must protect the citizens that live in that town!" I declared as we rush out of the city and into that town. Multiple townsponies are screaming in terror.

The stallions are cursing and complaining, the mares are screaming and running around, and the foals are crying and screaming in fright.  I summon a golden bow, and I point multiple arrows at the dragon.  I then shoot the dragon with the arrows, and the dragon roars in pain as it lands onto the ground.  Impa slashes the dragon's wings off, and Midna shoots a magical blast at the dragon.  Hilda shoots a magical blast at the dragon's tail.

"So many villains, so many enemies," Hilda said.

"I know," I agreed.

"The monsters have started attacking the citizens! We must protect them," Midna called.

"Don't worry, I can deal with that," Lana reassured.

"I wonder why Luna and Nightmare Moon look a bit like each other, still.  It's like when Cia and Lana look a bit like each other," Midna said.

The dragon's dying screams fade to silence as it passes away.  The citizens are still afraid because of the creatures that are trying to attack them.  Impa and I start attacking the other creatures as quick as we can.  It takes about three hours for all the creatures to be killed.  It was exhausting, but it's worth the effort and it's worth being a heroine.

The citizens cheer as we walk through the town like the heroes we are.  A group of fillies approach us, and they seem a bit afraid, yet worried.

"Is Rarity okay?" The filly with the white coat asked.

"Is Rainbow Dash killed?" The orange filly asked.

"Is Apple Jack still captured by the evil tyrants called Ganondorf and Tirek?" The yellow filly asked.

I immediately hug them in a comforting embrace. "Sisters of the heroines, I assure you that your sisters are safe. They're currently on the moon so that they can save the Night princess from the clutches of Nightmare Moon," I told them.

"Really? But, Apple Bloom's sister isn't seen for weeks," The orange filly said, "And Sweetie Belle misses the comfort of Rarity's words that enter her ears every time she has a bad dream. My name's Scootaloo, by the way."

"Okay, Scootaloo. Are your parents looking for you or your friends?" I asked, "Because it's too dangerous in the kingdom right now. You should be home."

"But, I don't want to stop crusading for cutie marks," Apple Bloom said.

"Me neither," Sweetie Belle added in.

"You can crusade for cutie marks when the war is over," Lana told them, "Go along home, before the monsters find you."

"Alright, but we aren't giving up! We have hearts as strong as horses, and........" Apple Bloom said as she and her friends gently break from my embrace.

They pose with such determination all over their bodies, especially their smiles and eyes.  "Cutie Mark Crusaders, filly power!" They said in unison as they walk off.

"Aren't they cute?" Lana asked me.

"A little, but they're probably getting themselves into danger," I replied.

"I agree with Zelda," Hilda said.

"Okay, let's go. There are other towns in need of help, probably," Impa said just as we hear a loud scream for help.

"Follow me," I commanded.

We all rush to a farm, and multiple creatures are attacking the ponies that are in the barn.  There are bats feeding on the apples, and the little treehouse is going to fall to ruins.  We quickly rush into the barn to save the possible residents.  There is an old mare and a well-built stallion that are getting attacked.

Hilda and Midna quickly eliminate the monsters with their magic, and Lana finishes off the bats with her powerful weapons that are magical.  Impa and I attempt to escort the other ponies, and they accept it.  After all the enemies are defeated, the fillies from earlier are running from a horde of monsters.

"Help us!" Apple Bloom shouted.

"Okay," I said, "Told you that you'd run into danger."

The fillies immediately run to the old mare and the well-built stallion.  Lana, Hilda, Midna, Impa, and I immediately fight off the creatures, and now they're all gone.  "Better now?" I asked the fillies.

"Of course," Apple Bloom replied.

They huddle together as I smile at them.  I really feel bad for them- and the old mare and the well-built stallion almost lost their home.  It's all because of Ganondorf's tyrannical rule that could destroy the world! And Tirek is like a co-tyrant.  The villainous side is so treacherous to society, that I want to rid the world of evil!  "It's okay," I said.

"No, we're not feeling bothered by the villains. The land is getting colder and colder- pretty soon, there will be global freezing," Sweetie Belle said.

"Quiet, smarty-pants," Scootaloo said, "There wouldn't be global freezing. The snow queen never blazed through the world to freeze all of us."

"The snow queen?" I asked, curious.

"We're talking about a mare from a winter movie," Apple Bloom said.

"Oh, right."

I feel a cool breeze blowing my neck, and just as the clouds cover the sky, I expect it to rain.  Instead, there is a bit of frost coming down.  Maybe the fillies are right, but I am the logical type.  It doesn't snow much in Hyrule because it is in the south.  Equestria is sort of in the north.
