CYOC: Miss Nightmare Bikini Contest

If you were going to get back home, you were going to need the help of the person who got you stuck here to do it. So you might as well stay on her good side. Besides, there was something about Nightmare Moon that appealed to you. You choose to keep your lips sealed. You thought you saw Nightmare Moon crack a small smile at seeing your defiance of Nightmare Rarity.

Nightmare Rarity wasn’t beaten yet though. “Oooh, need more persuasion, do we? Don’t worry.” You felt the pressure of Nightmare Rarity’s hand shove you back against a nearby wall. Following that you felt the warmth of Nightmare Rarity’s chest force itself against you, as well as the feeling of her right leg grinding against your left. “I can up my game.”

You attempted to push her away, but Nightmare Rarity proved much stronger than she looked. All you could do was stare at Nightmare Moon with pleading ‘this is not my fault’ eyes and attempt hide any enjoyment you were getting from this.

Nightmare Moon grabbed a hold of Nightmare Rarity from behind and yanked her off of you. “I’ve had enough of your foolishness. You have wasted too much of my time, you little harlot. I want you out of my castle, now!”

“Not a chance, you old hag!” Nightmare Rarity’s tail snapped at Nightmare Moon’s arm like a whip, causing Nightmare Moon to let go of her. “I’m the new Queen of this kingdom, and soon I’ll be the Queen of Equestria. Decrepit old crones like you need to disappear into a retirement home and let us young and beautiful ponies run things.”

You saw Nightmare Moon’s eyes flash in anger. In a blink of an eye Nightmare Rarity went from standing beside her, to being lifted above her head. “Decrepit, am I?” shouted Nightmare Moon as she flung Nightmare Rarity into a nearby room. You could hear the sounds of dishes and wooden furniture breaking as Nightmare Rarity went crashing into them.

You stared at Nightmare Moon with your jaw open. Nightmare Moon turned to face you with a look of exhaustion and annoyance. “We’ve wasted too much time on this. My study is just beyond this hall. It’s there that we can find a way to-“

The sound of Nightmare Rarity’s screams of rage caused the two of you to look towards the room she was thrown into. Nightmare Rarity emerged from the room, her dress ripped and ruined, her teeth grinding, and her eyes glowing much like how Nightmare Moon does when she got angry.

Nightmare Moon’s eyes widen at the sight. “You… You’re the one who took my power!”

Nightmare Rarity let out a mocking laugh. “Did I forget to tell you that part, Moony? When they made me Queen, they gave me all the powers that came with it. You were too busy doing your little ‘thing’ out there to even notice yourself becoming weaker. And now…” Nightmare Rarity pointer her finger at Nightmare Moon as her horn lit up with a magical aura. “I’m going to teach you and your miserable pet there some respect for the crown!”

A familiar humming sound of magical build up filled the room.

Followed by a familiar fading of said magical hum.

Nightmare Rarity blinked. “That’s never happened before. GUARDS!”

The room began to quickly fill with the strange shadowy creatures you saw in the hall earlier. Nightmare Rarity picked on up by what appeared to be its ‘neck’ and addressed it at eye level. “Why does Nightmare Moon still have all her power? Wasn’t I supposed to get it all when I became your beloved queen?”

“The ritual should have worked, Mistress! You should have gotten all the power she had! Honest!”

“Well I don’t. She still has all her powers!”

“That’s impossible!” the small creature cried.

“What is this ritual?” Nightmare Moon demanded.

“Oh, why do you care Moony? It didn’t do anything.”

Nightmare Moon grabbed hold of Nightmare Rarity by her dress and pulled her face to face. The small creature Nightmare Rarity had in her hand fell to the floor and bounced like a ball. “Because thanks to you and your idiotic attempt to overthrow me and my ruling, we all are now too powerless to escape our prison ever again!”

“You mean you don’t have your powers and we are all trapped on this moon forever?” Nightmare Rarity asked in horror.  “But if you don’t have your powers, then where did they go?”

“Um...” came the voice of the creature. The two Nightmares stared down at the creature in anger. “Well, it’s just a theory, but… if former queen Nightmare Moon-“

“Current queen,” Nightmare Moon corrected. “The next fool to make that mistake will never live to correct it, this I swear.”

“If she was using a ritual herself to summon someone at the same time of us using our ritual, there is the chance that the two spells may have interfered with one another.”

“I knew I did it correctly!” Nightmare Moon seemed to beam with pride at this new knowledge. “But then, where did my powers go?”

The creature pointed what appeared to be its ‘tail’ at you. “In him.”

All eyes turned to face you.

“You mean that thing has my, I mean ‘our’, power?” Nightmare Rarity gasped.

You looked down at your hands. Did you really have all this power they talked about?

“N-n-n-now, now, now,” Nightmare Rarity began. “Don’t get any funny ideas there. You don’t know what kind of powers you’re messing with.”

“She’s right,” added Nightmare Moon. “Those powers were never meant for a mortal to use. You have no idea how to control it. For your own sake, don’t try and use it.”

Attempt to use the powers of Nightmare Moon.

Don’t use it.
