You shouldn't care about this. Only one person should.

"The Day the Sky Went Black"

by Alzaea

This goes against canon. You've been warned.

This will be in a second person point of view, from luna. I think. We'll see how it goes. Based off of a song that brought this to mind.

As the daylight breaks over the horizon and luna sets the moon, she silently says goodbye to it once more, and the sun raises slowly. Birds of various species are heard giving their mating calls to each other on this early spring morning, noticeable dew on the grass in front of the pedestal in which she and her sister stand, with Luna sighing. "Dead sister, Whyyyy must we do this? It's so tiring. Is there not another pony for us to bequeath this deed unto?", she asks restlessly. "Now, now, Luna", says Celestia, "You know it is our duty that we must raise and lower the celestial bodies as required." Luna pouts, and Celestia chuckles and wraps her left foreleg around her, pulling her against her. "I love you, Lulu." Luna sighs again and smiles. "We love you too, Tia." They walk back into the castle, passing several guards, all of which bow graciously and thank them for the beautiful day they were given. Celestia's stomach rumbles, and she blushes. Luna giggles, joking "Tia! We knew not you had encased a monster in your abdomen! Shall we go get breakfast?~", she asks. Tia replies happily, rustling her little sister's mane as they walk down the hallway towards the dining hall, the clamor of chefs talking and dishes being used and washed along with the smell of cinnamon buns and fresh fruit tickling their snouts, intriguing their interest as they do. All of a sudden, a guard comes down the hall from around the corner, his eyes wide and perspiring heavily. Tia, still smiling, casually asks "What's up, doc?". The guard pulls a letter out of his armor and gives it to her, his legs wobbling as if there was a personal earthquake only he felt. Celestia opens it in her yellow magic, squinting her eyes a bit, and then they go wide as well. "What is it, sister?" "....Luna, do big sis a favor, okay? Go upstairs, and sit in your room. Lock the doors." Tia starts trotting alongside the guard, ordering him to bring to her her armor and claymore. "What?.. Why? What's happening?" asks Luna curiously, still happily smelling the scent from the cinnamon. "There's cinnamon buns in there, we bet, and you sh-"

"YOU NEED TO GET UPSTAIRS, NOW!... How is she still alive?! I don't understand...", Celestia yells, putting on her golden helmet, which encases her horn in a spiraling python. Luna whimpers, listening to what her sister has said for her to do. She slumps off, moping up to her room and slowly closing the door, getting her Ursa Teddy and crawling onto her bed with it, deciding she has nothing better to do than to take a nap. Which she does. She wakes up to a loud thud, and falls off of her bed. "Owww.." She says, rubbing her side and standing. She yawns a bit, wondering if it's time for her to come out now. She unlocks her door, lazily walking down the tower, down the stairs, and into the hallway. Her eyes go wide as she stands there, the castle full of armored guards and Changelings, the guards slashing and hacking away at the mini-demons, chopping them in half in one swing, and two more would take their place. She stands watching in horror, having never seen blood and gore of this magnitude. Some guards being mauled by Changelings, some guards slicing them open. She tears up and gallops the other way and onto the balcony, and she almost faints from what she sees: a massive war has started in Canterlot, and it has flown all the way down to Ponyville. She looks down and she can see civilians trying to fight back and getting mauled in the process, the flying cannibals eating them alive, tearing out eyes, ripping off legs.. And if they were unlucky enough to be mares, they would be overflown by Changelings, getting furiously raped by them in every hole imaginable - nostrils, ears, their vaginas, their asses, their mouths, and in some rare occasions, they would rip out eyes and skullfuck the poor ladies. It didn't matter how old you were - if you were a mare, you were used. Luna can't even grasp what they're doing, other than impaling them, and sees Celestia off in the distance fighting against the Queen, their swords emitting lightning bolts as their cross; a dance of pain being born in the sky. Luna jumps off and flies toward them, and a few Changelings see her and start flying after her. Luna gets to her sister. "Tia! What is happening?!", She screams. Celestia looks over and sees the few buggers flying after her, and kicks away Chrysalis and slices them apart. "Luna! What are you doing out here!? I fucking told you to stay in your room! Why don't you li-" ... Her speech is cut short by a black blade piercing through her chest, almost poking Luna like a shishkabob. She coughs, spitting blood on Luna, who sits there, flapping her wings, staring into her sister's eyes. The Queen behind her gives out a low, demonic chuckle and flicks her off of her blade, wiping the red off on her black coat. Celestia falls to the ground as if she was made of iron, hitting the ground with a thud. Luna speeds down to her dying sister, sitting by her side as Chrysalis realizes who the small blue pony is, and screams "THERE'S THE TARGET! GET HER!!" And flies down towards her. Celestia, now in a pool of blood, instructs her sister.. "L-luna.. One more favor, s-sweetie.. go get your special n-necklace, and put it on for Tia, okay?.." Her eyes filled with tears, but her mouth filled with blood. Luna, quietly sobbing, slowly nods. Tia smiles. "That's a g-good girl.. I love you.. Now g-go..".. She exhales, and lays still. Luna covers her mouth with a hoof, wanting to mourn her sister forever, but jets off back towards the tower and into her room.  Inside a drawer locked with a magic seal is a black neckpiece with her cutie mark on it. "We're sorry.. Sister.." She puts it on, and, in a blinding flash of cobalt blue light, transformed into Nightmare. She stands there for a second, wondering where she is, and slowly looks outside out of the tower, and starts maniacally laughing. "YES! THIS ART WHAT WE'VE WAITED MILLENNIA FOR! THE CASTLE IS OURS!" And goes to the throne room, past the hundreds of dead bodies, and sees Chrysalis sitting with her head on a hoof, her hind legs crossed, bordly looking at her, guards on either side. "Hmm? Who are you? Where's the girl?.." Chrysalis asks, confused. "We? We art Nightmare Moon. And thou? In my throne. We suggest thou taketh thine leave, lest things get ugly." Chrysalis cackles at her, laughing, "You fool! This is my kingdom now! I killed everypony! All are changelings now, and you will be soon enough!" A changeling comes over and bites at Nightmare's leg, which she responds to by biting its head off. Clean. Chrysalis stares at her, bewildered, then in a furious rage, picks up her sword and starts flying toward her. Nightmare waits for her to take her slash, which she does, and teleports behind her and drives her into the ground, creating a crater and forcing her to spit blood. Nightmare sits there, driving her hoof into the Queen's spine, pushing her further into the ground. "Yield, and I will let you live! This is thine last chance!"Chrysalis responds, spitting blood, "Bitch." And takes her sword and blindly stabs backwards and up, but, all it does is take off her helmet, letting her long, mane of the galaxy flow down and around her like a mystifying fog. Nightmare scoffs at her, picking her up by HER mane, and throws her across the room. She looks behind her, and realizes there's a painting on the wall in between changelings now swarming at her. The painting of a familiar red colt, smiling with her. Her eyes dilate as she gains consciousness and remembers who it is and in what relation it is to her. "..A-Alzaea..?" She barely has time to utter the name before six or seven changelings tackle her, shoving their small black genitalia in her face. "Get thine colthood out of our FACE!" She lets out a yell, sending them flying back against various walls around her. "Everypony.. dead?..." She contemplates what to do.. What to do?.. She quickly thinks, tearing up and her eyeshadow starts trailing down her cheeks as she does. "Chrysalis.. Thou hath slayed the ponies we called family." Her eyes start to glow white and her horn lights up, and Chrysalis shakes her head and gets out of "it", looking up. "What are you talking about?.." She asks. Nightmare's horn glows brighter.. and brighter.. and brighter.. "But WE ARE ABLE TO RESURRECT!" A tear drops off of her cheek as a blinding white bomb of magic explodes, disintegrating every changeling in a 500-mile radius, knocking Chrysalis unconscious, and dispersing Nightmare's life essence to all those who were killed during the attack. The first pony to wake up is Celestia. She feels so dizzy.. Why am I.. Wasn't I just sleeping?.. What?.. She walks up and flies into the castle as the guards all get up and moan, and looks around and sees the throne room unguarded. She goes in, and sees Chrysalis lying on the carpet near her throne, and a black neck garment on the ground, smoking. Her eyes widen as she realizes what happened, and she tears up and gallops over, stomping on Chrysalis's face again.. and again.. and again.. and again.. each time, blood splashing up, covering her golden hoof garments in red and a splash on her cheek. "YOU MOTHERFUCKING BITCH! GIVE ME MY SISTER BACK!! DIE! DIE!! DIE!!!" Guard hear her screaming and rush in, pulling her off. It does nothing, as she picks her up in her magic and rips her body apart, her entrails falling out and splattering on the floor, and smashing the two torn sides of her body again and again into the wall. An alchemist comes in and puts a magic block on her horn, and guards wrap a straitjacket around the wailing white alicorn. They load her up into a chariot and put her in an asylum, where she still mourns, begs, and cries, for her sister, even to this day. The mare who made the ultimate sacrifice..
