The Son of Princess Luna
Friendship is Magic (Part 4)
Previous ChapterNext Chapter(Meanwhile with me....)
(I chased after Nightmare as she fled to the Everfree Forest. I turned invisible and continue to follow her, making her believe I cut from the chase. I created a clone to double back to keep an eye on Twilight and Spike. But I didn't stop following her.)
(My Clone [Me] arrived to the library and walked in. I found Twilight coming down the stairs and I closed the door.)
Twilight: "You!" (She got into my face and I was pushed against the wall of the library) "You are the son of Nightmare Moon!?"
"Well.... Yes and No."
Twilight: "What do you mean!?"
"Yes: Because Nightmare Moon is technically my mother but No: Because she is not my exact mother."
Twilight: "What do you mean?"
(I sigh) "Listen. We need the Elements of Harmony to reform my mother. Are you going to help or do I need to do it myself. Even alone, I can save my mother. But I rather have backup, just in case."
(Twilight continue to glare at me but then moved away.)
Twilight: "I'm keeping my eye on you." (She began to use her magic to look for the book about the elements of harmony.) "Elements, elements, elements... Ugh! How can I stop Nightmare Moon without the Elements of Harmony?"
(That was when Rainbow got into her face out of nowhere.)
Rainbow: "And just what are the Elements of Harmony? And how did you know about Nightmare Moon, huh? Are you a spy?" (She felt a tug on her tail) "Whoa!"
(It was the other Mane 6.)
Applejack: "Simmer down, Sally. She ain't no spy. But she sure knows what's going on. Don't you, Twilight?"
"She doesn't know ALL the details."
(Rainbow glared at me like I was the enemy.)
Rainbow: "And you! You are the son of Nightmare Moon! Give me 1 reason why I shouldn't beat you down!"
"Because if you tried that, I won't be able to save Equestria from mortal danger. I made a pledge to protect my home and I will do it, if you like it or not."
Twilight: "You have courage, I'll tell you that."
"Listen, we can't waste anymore time. Get the reference guide."
Pinkie: "The Elements of Harmony: A Reference Guide."
(Twilight came over to Pinkie and grabbed it.)
Twilight: "How did you find that?!"
Pinkie Pie: [sing-song voice] It was under "E"!
Twilight: "Oh."
"Ok, Twilight, find out everything you can about the elements of harmony."
Twilight: "There are six Elements of Harmony, but only five are known: Kindness, Laughter, Generosity, Honesty and Loyalty. The sixth is a complete mystery. It is said, the last known location of the five elements was in the ancient castle of the royal pony sisters. It is located in what is now--"
Mane 6: "The Everfree Forest!"
"Alright, let's get moving. The long we wait, the closer Nightmare Moon is winning and we can't have that."
Pinkie: "Whee! Let's go!"
Twilight: "Not so fast. Look, I appreciate the offer, but I'd really rather do this on my own."
Applejack: "No can do, sugarcube. We sure ain't lettin' any friend of ours go into that creepy place alone. We're stickin' to you like caramel on a candy apple."
"Besides, you need all the help you can get."
(We all went into the forest, Twilight sigh and followed.)
(Meanwhile behind a building near the Everfree Forest....)
(A cloaked/hooded figure came out from behind. His left eye was glowing out of the hood as he pulled out a stack of cards. But these weren't normal cards. On them, were data of others in different worlds.)
???: "The Mane 6 and Danny Eclipse went inside.... I guess I should offer my assistance. After all....." (That was when his right eye opened, revealing it blood red nightmare moon-look a like.) "I'm under orders to help them......"
(That was when he disappeared out of thin air.)
(Meanwhile with the real me....)
(I chased Nightmare Moon all the way to the ruin castle of the royal pony sister. My mind link with my clone told me that the Mane 6 were en-route to my old home. I came inside and turned visible. Like I knew, Nightmare saw me coming and came to greet me.)
Nightmare: "Well, welcome home Danny. It's been a long time since we came back here, hasn't it?"
"Yes. But I ask, why are you treating me like a friend and not a foe? It's only a matter of time until the Elements of Harmony are used again."
Nightmare: "That may be true, but at least I can spend some quality time with my son."
"But, I thought-"
Nightmare: "Dear, I grew jealous of your aunt's day. Ponies cherished the day that my older sister brought. But what of my night? They slept through it. That was the last straw. So, I wanted to spread eternal darkness to the world. They always hated my night, so they can live through it."
"But Mom, this isn't right. You know that. As much as Nocturne would love to your plan, I'm afraid I can't let you do this."
(Nightmare looks at me, very disappointed to see her own son not wanting to do her plan.)
Nightmare: "If you won't join me....." (Her horn lit up) "I'll have to fight you."
(1 tear drop from my eye but I didn't let it show. I got into a battle stance.)
"Bring it!"
(Back with the group....)
(We were almost there after a half an hour of walking. All there was left was the broken bridge. I still hated the song Pinkie sang earlier. I had literally went into a tree, hoping to not to hear the song that offend me and my fellow ghosts.)
"There it is, the ruin that holds The Elements of Harmony!"
(Twilight took off ahead of us.)
Applejack: "Twilight, wait for us!"
Twilight: "We're almost there!" (That was when she stopped at the cliff and almost began to fall) "Whoa!"
(Me and Rainbow helped Twilight back up.)
Rainbow Dash: "What's with you and falling off cliffs today?"
(I snicker at that comment.)
Pinkie: "So, what now?"
"Simple. Me and Dashie goes over to the other side and tie the bridge back up."
Pinkie: "Oh yeah."
(Me and Rainbow goes to the other side. Just as we were about to go back to the other side, some blue mist left my mouth and I groaned. I turned around and looked around.)
???: (Female voice) "Rainbow..."
Rainbow Dash: "Who's there?"
???: (Same Female Voice) "Rainbow..."
"We ain't scared of you! Show yourself!"
???: "We've been eagerly awaiting the arrival of the best flyer in Equestria."
Rainbow: "Who?"
???: "Why, you, of course."
Rainbow: "Really?! I mean... Oh yeah, me. Hey, uh, you wouldn't mind telling the Wonderbolts that, would ya? 'cause I've been trying to get into that group for like, ever."
(I facehoof myself. She clearly forgot that I outfly her.)
Whispering: "Technically, I'm the best flyer in all of Equestria..."
???: "No, Rainbow Dash. We want you to join us, The Shadowbolts." (That was when 3 Pegasus Ponies came out of the mist. They were wearing Night Type Uniforms: The Shadowbolt Uniforms.) "We're the greatest aerial team in the Everfree Forest, and soon we will be the greatest in all Equestria, but first, we need a captain. The most magnificent-"
"Sorry to interrupt, but we need to do this. And besides, I'm Princess Luna's son, so I have authority over you."
Rainbow: "What, let them talk Danny."
(I was about to protest until The Shadowbolt Leader spoke again.)
Shadowbolt Leader: "We need The most magnificent-"
Rainbow Dash: "Yep."
Shadowbolt Leader: "Swiftest-"
Rainbow Dash: "Yes."
Shadowbolt Leader: "Bravest flyer in all the land."
Rainbow Dash: "Yes," [chuckle] "it's all true."
Shadowbolt Leader: "We need... you."
Rainbow Dash: "WOOHOO! Sign me up. Just let us tie this bridge real quick and then we have a deal."
Shadowbolt Leader: "No! It's them or us."
"Rainbow Dash, this is your decision. You can join the Shadowbolts or you can help your friends. Take your pick, but in my opinion, loyalty is what we all need."
(Rainbow was torn now. She wanted to be a Shadowbolt more than ever but she wanted to help her friends.)
Shadowbolt Leader: "Well?"
Rainbow Dash: "You..." (The Shadowbolt leader smirked but it died when Rainbow kept talking) "Thank you! For the offer, I mean, but I'm afraid I have to say no."
(Rainbow took off to fix the bridge and I glared at them.)
"Nice try mother, but you won't be able to break my friend's spirit that way."
Shadowbolt Leader: "Maybe. But I regret to tell you that I'm not finished yet. I still have 1 thing your friends can't handle."
"Go ahead and try it, it won't work."
(The 3 Shadowbolts transformed into smoke and left. Twilight and the others came over to the other side and began to walk inside the castle.)
(The battle between me and my mother wasn't going well. I had superiority but she had her shadows to run to. She managed to catche me into a cage while I had my guard down and I was in the old throne room. I found out about the Mane 6 and my clone being here and smirked.)
"You lose Mother. You can't win!"
Nightmare: "Doesn't matter. I still have my triumph card. Now if you excuse me, I have business to do."
(I sat in my cage and after 8 minutes, there was a smoke cloud appeared in the middle of the room and when the smoke cleared, standing there was Twilight. I could see Nightmare with the elements. Twilight looked at me and was shocked.)
"Apologizes. I had to follow my mother so I left a clone to double back to watch you and the others."
(Twilight nodded and looked at Nightmare, she began to stomp her front legs, ready to charge and her horn glowing with magic.)
Nightmare Moon: "You're kidding. You're kidding, right?"
(Twilight began to charge and Nightmare accepted the challenge and charged as well, leaving the elements behind. At the last second of impact, Twilight teleported to the elements, leaving Nightmare Moon shocked.)
Twilight: [groan] "Just one spark. Come on, come on." (Nightmare came charging at Twilight and the elements ignited, pushing Twilight back.) "Aah!"
Nightmare Moon: (She landed where the elements were at) "No, no!"
(However, after a few more seconds, they stop igniting and Twilight was shocked.)
Twilight: [gasp] "But... where's the sixth Element?!"
Nightmare Moon: [laughter] "You little foal! Thinking you could defeat me?" (Then she destroy the elements, shattering them into pieces) "Now you will never see your princess, or your sun! The night will last forever!" [evil laugh]
(All six ponies talking over each other: Pinkie Pie: Don't worry Twilight, we're here. Applejack: Don't worry, we'll be there. Clone: They should be up here!)
Twilight: [gasp] "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."
Nightmare Moon & Me: "What!?"
Twilight: "Applejack, who reassured me when I was in doubt, represents the spirit of... honesty! Fluttershy, who tamed the manticore with her compassion, represents the spirit of... kindness! Pinkie Pie, who banished fear by giggling in the face of danger, represents the spirit of... laughter! Rarity, who calmed a sorrowful serpent with a meaningful gift represents the spirit of... generosity! And Rainbow Dash, who could not abandon her friends for her own heart's desire represents the spirit of... loyalty! The spirits of these five ponies got us through every challenge you threw at us."
(1 by 1, the Elements went to their true masters.)
Nightmare Moon: "You still don't have the sixth Element! The spark didn't work!"
Twilight: "But it did! A different kind of spark. 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!" (A light appeared above Twilight, revealing the sixth element) "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... magic!"
(Before they could perform the Harmonic Rainbow, Nightmare Moon had enough and fired a laser at them. Shooting them down with their elements. I watched this)
"RAINBOW DASH!!!"
(That was when my eyes lit up with rage and the cage instantly broke. They all looked and when the smoke cleared, they see a new look on me.)
((The older one is Dark Danny. And just picture him like Danny Eclipse but older and with white, not light grey.))
(My red eyes looked at Nightmare Moon and I smirk. They heard the clone crying out in pain as he began to shake, non-stop.)
(Voice similar to Dark Danny's) "Hello Mother..." (Nightmare Moon was utterly shock to see this. I smirk even more) "And Good-Bye."
(I raised my right hoof at her and I fired a Ghost Ray at her. It hit her and she was send out, flying out of the place.)
"You girls stay here. I'll handle my mother, personally."
(I opened my wings and took off after my mother.)
(I chased my mother outside, where she was flying in 1 place. She was growling at me.)
"Bring it!"
(Nightmare made her first move. She fired a bunch of energy swords at me but I dodged them with ease. I created 2 more clones and we charged at her. Clone 1 kicked her up, Clone 2 kicked her back down, and I kicked her to the left. After what seemed like 5 minutes of knocking Nightmare moon around, I got Nightmare in position and me and my clones got into position.)
"Ghostly Wail!"
(The clone and I used our ghostly wail, this resulted with Nightmare Moon being pushed back to where the girls were at. The clones and I reunited and I went after her.)
(Nightmare Moon came crashing back into the throne room. The element bearers began to use their elements and they fired the harmonic rainbow.)
Nightmare: "Nooo! Nooo!"
(When it finished, I came inside and transformed back into my normal form.) 'I haven't been Dark Eclipse for a long time. Not since the Dark Danny incident.'
"Don't get used to it boy. Whenever you need help and you are out, I'll take over and settle the fight for you."
(I choose to ignore the voice and the other elements began to wake up. My clone had dismissed itself after successfully finished the mission he was assign to.)
Rainbow Dash: "Ugh, my head."
Applejack: "Everypony okay?"
Rarity: "Oh, thank goodness."
Fluttershy: "Why Rarity, it's so lovely."
Rarity: "I know! I'll never part with it again."
Fluttershy: "No. Your necklace. It looks just like your cutie mark."
Rarity: "What? Ooh. So does yours."
Fluttershy: [gasp]
Pinkie Pie: "Look at mine! Look at mine!"
Rainbow Dash: "Aw yeah."
(Twilight was admiring her crown until Applejack spoke up.)
Applejack: "Gee, Twilight! I thought you were just spoutin' a lot of hooey, but I reckon we really do represent the elements of friendship."
???: "Indeed you do."
(The other gasp at Princess Celestia's appearance. They kneeled except for Twilight and me.)
Twilight: "Princess Celestia!"
"Aunt Tia!"
(Me and Twilight went to hug her and she hugged us back.)
Twilight Sparkle: "But... you told me it was all an old pony tale."
Princess Celestia: "I told you that you needed to make some friends, nothing more. I saw the signs of Nightmare Moon's return and I knew it was you who had the magic inside to defeat her, but you could not unleash it until you let true friendship into your heart. Now if only another will as well. Princess Luna!"
(We looked at Princess Luna as she woke up. We heard her gasp and Princess Celestia approaches her.)
Princess Celestia: "It has been a thousand years since I have seen you like this. Time to put our differences behind us. We were meant to rule together, little sister."
Everypony (Except for me, Princess Celestia, and Princess Luna): "Sister?"
Princess Celestia: "Will you accept my friendship?"
(Princess Luna looked down, thinking of an answer. Pinkie fell down from the stress level in the room. Luna gets up and hugs Celestia.)
Princess Luna: "I'm so sorry! I missed you so much, big sister!"
Princess Celestia: "I've missed you, too."
(After they finished hugging. Princess Celestia remembers and moves out of the way.)
Celestia: “Oh Lulu. I kept my promise and did a bit more.”
(Princess Luna grew curious until she caught sight of me approaching. I smile at her presence.)
“Hello Mother. It’s been 1000 years since I’ve last seen you’re face.”
(Luna gasp at my appearance. I was entirely different but she hugged me.)
Luna: “Oh Danny! I thought I lost you years ago!”
(I gladly hugged back, we were both crying.)
“No. Aunt Celestia told Clockwork to train me shortly after you left. I became a Halfa and because I had Alicorn Blood, I was immortal. I stopped aging after 14 years. I trained long and hard to free you from Nightmare Moon and help defend Equestria from threats.”
Luna: “You’ve grown since you were no more than a foal. And I can feel you stronger than normal.”
“Yeah…” (We separated and were still crying a bit) “I was trained to be ready for anything.”
(We heard Pinkie Pie crying waterfalls. But she soon stopped.)
Pinkie Pie: “Hey, you know what this calls for?”
