Tags: Dark, Crossover
Length: 494

Based on The Human Equation by Ayreon. When Luna is struck the second time by the Elements of Harmony, she was given a choice; die, or reform. But what went through her mind?

When Luna was hit with the elements for the second time, she had a choice; reform, or die. Of course, the the obvious answer would be to live, right? Well, Luna has been denied too many times to see that. So, within the few seconds the elements work their magic, her brain slows down, and shows her what lead to this. Can Luna let the past go? Or will her pride be her downfall?

Based on The Human Equation by Ayreon. Chapters may be shorter than I want them to be because they're based on songs.

Do You Feel Responsible

    We shouted triumphantly, "You little foal! Thinking you could defeat me? Now you will never see your princess, or your sun! The night will last forever!" We laughed. We laughed harder than We had in centuries.

    Murmuring could be heard down the hall. Had We not crushed The Elements, We would have been concerned. But We weren't.

    The purple unicorn mare gasped in realization, then looked towards Us. "You think you can destroy The Elements of Harmony just like that? Well, you're wrong, because the spirits of The Elements of Harmony are right here!" the five other ponies appeared behind her, seemingly battle-ready.

    Our eyes widened. We could only reply with "What?"

    As she listed off the other ponies, they would start to levitate as their Harmony Necklaces appeared. "Applejack, who reassured me when I was in doubt, represents the spirit of... honesty!" The orange gem fixed itself to her neck.

    "Fluttershy, who tamed the manticore with her compassion, represents the spirit of... kindness!" The pink gem floated to the yellow pegasus.

    "Pinkie Pie, who banished fear by giggling in the face of danger, represents the spirit of... laughter!" Light blue gem, to her.

    "Rarity, who calmed a sorrowful serpent with a meaningful gift represents the spirit of... generosity!" Deep purple, to her.

    "And Rainbow Dash, who could not abandon her friends for her own heart's desire represents the spirit of... loyalty!" Red, to her.

    She looked at me smugly. "The spirits of these five ponies got us through every challenge you threw at us."

    We started to get hysterical. "You still don't have the sixth Element! The spark didn't work!"

    "But it did! A different kind of spark." She turned towards the floating mares, "I felt it the very moment I realized how happy I was to hear you, to see you, how much I cared about you. The spark ignited inside me when I realized that you all... are my friends!" She turned back to me. "You see, Nightmare Moon, when those Elements are ignited by the- the spark, that resides in the heart of us all, it creates the sixth element: the element of..." she paused, "MAGIC!"

    As the last word came out of her mouth, she started to glow. Her eyes shined, and her horn lit up, channeling The Elements. We could only stare in horror as the rainbow of light descended upon Us. "Nooo! Nooo!"

    "Open up your eyes Luna. See the lives you have touched," Harmony whispered, " and have your mind no longer play tricks upon you. Understand we are here to help you."

    "No." Nightmare blunted. "Why would Harmony care? Doust thou feel responsible? Trying to cleanse the wounds that thou hast given us?"

    "You have no control anymore, Nightmare." Harmony spoke in many voices, but one. "We only wish to clear what has been done. To free Luna from your control.

    "Or to remove her if she remains within it."
