Twilight's P.O.V

Nightmare Moon chuckles evilly as she speaks about Princess Luna.  She then approaches her stone body.  "Such a beauty, Princess Luna..... Such a shame that you have become a piece of art that keeps me company in the throne room," She remarked as she caresses Luna's cheek.

"Quit it! Where's the Element of Magic?!" I screamed.

"Oh, that's right! I can just stand here and watch you beg for a sixth element!"  She simply laughs at me, making me feel hurt and belittled.

I turn my head away from her.  Tears start forming my eyes.  "You will fail Celestia! You will fail the world! What will you choose now, Twilight?! If you decide to stay on the good side, then there will be eternal darkness and eternal destruction! And there will also be fear, darkness, and corruption everywhere! But, if you want to come to the evil side, then Luna will be free, but I gurantee that Celestia and the rest of the world will hate you!" She concluded.

"Twilight, don't believe her! She's trying to tempt you," Celestia warned.

"Don't let her get to you! We have to save Princess Luna from Nightmare's clutches, remember?" Link said.

"For the return of peace!" My friends said in unison.

I must make a decision right now.  If I choose the good side, then there may be peace, but something may happen to Princess Luna. Okay, I shouldn't believe Nightmare's words. If I join the dark side, then there will be eternal wars and chaos, breaking the balance on Earth, time, and even space.

"What do you choose?!" Nightmare asked.

I have come up with a decision.  I stand up, firm and determined to speak the truth. I will not let Equestria fall into the clutches of evil. I will stand for peace! "Nightmare Moon, you have never experienced the magic of friendship! The bearers of the Elements of Harmony are here to stop you and to save Princess Luna from a terrible fate! We will not be weak and fearful any longer! We will march and trample the forces of evil," I declared.

"Laughter," Pinkie Pie said.

"Loyalty," Rainbow Dash said.

"Honesty," Apple Jack said.

"Generosity," Rarity said.

"Kindness," Fluttershy said.

"And magic!" I shouted as a magical aura starts surrounding us.

"You go, Twilight!" Link cheered, making me feel extremely confident.

"The magic of friendship will stop you and rescue Princess Luna from your clutches!" I finished as the rainbow beam hits Nightmare Moon.

Nightmare Moon shouts with anger, bitterness, and hate as the rainbow surrounds her. A ball of light then consumes her, and Celestia levitates the ball of light with her magic. She places the ball of light into a pouch, and then she places the pouch into her saddlebag.

Princess Luna is now released from her stony prison, and she notices us.  Then, she notices Celestia.  "You came to save me?" She asked.

"Of course," Celestia replied.

Link approaches Luna, and hugs her tightly like a close friend would.  But, in my eyes, they seem a bit like something more.  "I'm so worried about you! I thought you were corrupted or worse!" Link exclaimed, "But, you're safe!"

"Yes. I was afraid that nopony would find me up here," Luna replied, "But, thank you all. And I wonder if Equestria is in a horrible state right now. Let's go save Equestria from the clutches of evil!"

"And the knight has found a princess," Rarity said, "They will sure fall in love."

"Sounds adorable," Fluttershy said.

"Reminds me of a storybook," Pinkie Pie said.

"I'm a sucker for touching reunions," Rainbow Dash said.

"Some of your words ring mighty true, but I'm not sure if an immortal can love a mortal," Apple Jack said in her usual country accent.

"I am almost speechless. They would make an adorable pairing," I said about Luna and Link hugging.

Luna and Link seems to overhear us, and they smile at us.  "Sometimes I wonder if you keep a shipping journal," Link said, "Sometimes ponies ship me with a certain mare."

"I wonder if you're planning to hook me up with Link," Luna said.

"Okay, let's go," Celestia said.

Just as we walk out of the castle, we notice an evil-looking alicorn.  "Nice meeting you, fools. Would anypony care to tell me where Nightmare Moon is? Call me Death Rose. And Celestia, we meet again after the banishment of your sister," She said.

"Death Rose?!" Celestia asked, "What are you doi-"

Death Rose shoots a magical blast at Celestia, resulting in the pouch falling out of the saddlebag.  "Just as I suspected," She said smugly, "Nightmare Moon is locked away in that bag."  She uses her magic to open the pouch, and the ball of light escapes the pouch.

Death Rose magically takes out a staff with a skull, and chuckles evilly.  She breaks the ball of light with her magic, and the black shadow starts to materialize into a familiar alicorn. Nightmare Moon seems victorious, and chuckles evilly.  "You fail," Death said.


Luna's P.O.V

"Fail?! But, Death Rose! Your days of plotting evil and corrupting ponies are over!" I shouted.

"So?! Death Rose and I are planning to combine our powers," Nightmare Moon remarked, "It shall commence!"

How powerful will she be if she fuses with Death Rose? Will a great battle happen on the moon? "Nightmare Forces, help me to combine with Nightmare Moon!" Death Rose commanded the shadows.

All of the shadows, the black fog, and the purple flames surround Nightmare Moon and Death Rose, thus combining them into one pony.  "What's happening?" Fluttershy asked in fear.

"You know what's happening," Rainbow Dash said.

"It's going to be dreadful," Rarity said.

"Nightmare Moon is gonna become stronger, for sure," Apple Jack said.

"You're right," Pinkie Pie agreed.

"Oh, here we go again......." Twilight Sparkle said.

"Don't worry. We'll help you in battle," Celestia told them.

"Looks like another boss," Link said.

"You're right. We must be brave and fight her," I agreed, "The fate of Equestria depends on which side wins the war! Let's return harmony to Equestria and rid the land of evilness!"

As the fusing of the two dark alicorns complete, there is a towering alicorn, perhaps a few inches taller than Celestia.  "I am Deadly Nightmare," The alicorn said.

Deadly Nightmare has a dark coat with a billowing night mane, and her cutie mark is a blood moon with the skull in the center. Her horn is curved like King Sombra's, and her wings are blade-like with sharp feathers. Her dragon eyes are a deep red.  "Prepare to lose!" She declared.

She magically levitates a staff with a horned skull in place of the regular skull.  She is very scary, from the inside out.  I think she represents the dark side of the moon.  I levitate a spear, and she smirks at me for a moment.  "What a poor choice, holding a weak spear! What are you gonna do now?" She taunted.

"We will stop you!" I shouted.

"Yeah!" Link shouted.

"The Magic of Friendship will stop you!" Twilight and her friends shouted in unison.

"For the return of harmony and peace in Equestria!" Celestia declared.

And, that's when the battle starts.  Deadly Nightmare and I aggressively circle each other, as if one of us is about to attack.  Yes, it is true that one of us is going to attack.  I shoot a powerful magical beam at her, and her magical beam pushes back. Our magical beams push back and forth as the others watch on.

As her magic overpowers mine, I crash into the lunar surface, and I feel so much pain throbbing in my chest.  "She's quite strong," I said as Link rushes to me.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

"I feel pain."

"Here. This takes away pain."

He gives me a bottle with strange blue liquid. "Here," He said.

"Okay," I said as I levitate it to my mouth.  I cover my nose as I drink the liquid.  As a result, the pain melts away.

I stand up a second later as Celestia begins to battle Deadly Nightmare.  She seems to have it easier, because her power is slightly stronger than mine.  "Are you going to help your sister?" Link asked.

"I'm giving myself time to heal," I replied.

"But, you seem alright. Are you going into battle once again?"

"I will, this time. Link, you will help out by landing some slashes and other attacks on Deadly Nightmare."

Before we start, I hug him tightly, and then I kiss him on the cheek.  "Chosen hero, we believe in you," I said.

Link smiles as we gently break the hug.  Then, we both start flying into the air.  We approach Deadly Nightmare, and then we start attacking her with various moves and tricks.  He is not just a Chosen Hero, but he is also going to be my lover someday. I blush at the thought.
