Pinkamena Diane Pie stood strong within the Gym Hall, equipped with the spoils of war from her previous encounter. Facial expressions unwavering from nothing more than a stoic scowl, expressing emotions through body language.

Luna could feel the power that was emanating from the foe that stood before her in a threatening manner, and she knew that the Element of Laughter would not behave in such an animalistic and savage way.

Maintaining eye contact, Luna began to circle the invader to the left, as Sunset began to circle to the right, presenting an opportunity once she was distracted from the other adversary that was stood behind her.

Glancing towards the blood stained gym walls and bleachers that were littered with entrails, Luna deducted that this waste of skin was the cause of the massacre within the supposed safe haven for eager students.

Constantly facing Luna, Pinkie Pie paid no attention towards Sunset and gave her no opportunity to strike for when Sunset began her charge to impale and fire the device, Pinkie sensed the sudden rush of movement and brush of wind and charged directly forward, inverting the Siderite Scythe for a deadly upward slash intended for Luna.

Luna preformed a well timed roll just before Pinkie swung upward, granting an opportunity for light damage as Luna sliced at her legs as Sunset continued her own charge to thrust her small weapon into Pinkie's back.

Causing a light stagger, Luna had bought time for Sunset to complete her charge from behind and drove her blade into Pinkie's lower back, clearly making sure that the sharp and rusty blade protruded from the exit wound the blade created. Taking a pivoting step back, Sunset lifted Pinkie up slightly with her strong arm and fired the mechanism that was attached to the blade, causing the careless hunter to be flailed forward, crashing onto her front.

Sensing an opportunity, Luna charged but calculated timing wrong and was greeted by a brutal impact of the butt of the Scythe staff to the side of the head, causing a stagger of her own. Utilising the stagger, Pinkie wielded the Scythe and brought it down with incredible speed, causing a deep laceration in Luna's barrel.

An agonising gasp escaped Luna's lips as she left her attire and flesh rip at will from the downward slash.

As Pinkie was recoiling from the fierce slash, Sunset caught eye of another firearm that was loosely clattering at Pinkie's side and would be easy to quickly disarm her. Pinkie took pride in giving her prey the sense of helplessness and began to raise her Scythe again, intending to drive the blade through Luna's skull, granting her a quick, but painful death.

As the blade was reaching the apex of the downward swing, Sunset seized the moment and drove her blade into Pinkie's gut from behind, causing Pinkie to emit a beastly gurgle as the short blade tore through her innards. Using her free hand, Sunset grabbed the other firearm and used her right leg to kick away Pinkie as she twisted and ripped the blade out from within her side.

After quickly climbing to her feet and after noticing that she felt something was missing, Pinkie patted her sides and quickly saw that Sunset was now wielding two firearms.

Growing a smirk, Pinkie leapt into the air, sweeping the Scythe through the air as she roared. Clicking her newly acquired weaponry with a loaded round, Sunset rose her aim and fired a shot directly into Pinkie's chest, causing her to drop all momentum and crash to her knees, dropping her Siderite Scythe.

As Luna recovered from her harsh laceration to the barrel, she noticed the shot that are projected into Pinkie and began sprinting towards them both, wielding her Arcanium Blades strongly as she has just witnessed a perfect mid-air parry, bringing Pinkie to her knees.

Driving all her momentum into her blades, Luna immediately drove them into Pinkie as soon as she impacted the floor, leaving no chances of redemption and began twisting the blades violently, before ripping them out of Pinkie in opposite directions, causing very large and deep lacerations that causes Pinkie to keel over with her injuries.

A subtle nod was given from Luna to Sunset to appreciate the vital opportunity that was presented to her that could have very well, saved their lives. Noticing the discarded Scythe on the gym floor, Luna levitated the blade, folded it back into a convenient posture and clipped it comfortably to her Hunter Attire, before turning her attention to Pinkie, who had since recovered from her devastating visceral attack.

Struggling to stand straight due to the many wounds that she had sustained, Pinkie grabbed the sheathed Saw Cleaver in her right hand, and snapped it into the position that would benefit from substantial centrifugal force.

Luna was the first to charge, emitting a loud cry of anger as she brought her blades up high. Due to witnessing the first move, Pinkie was quick to dodge the oncoming onslaught of attacks and swung her Saw Cleaver, ripping through the fur and flesh of Luna's right hind-leg, causing mild bleeding.

Luna was quick to react, slashing horizontally in retaliation and catching Pinkie across the torso, causing both to stagger and assess their situations. What Pinkie did not expect, was Sunset silently driving her blade directly into her neck, emitting horrid gargles and splutters before Pinkie had a chance to register what had just occurred.

Luna limped quickly, catching distance and pirouetted into Pinkie's space, causing a stagger as Sunset withdrew her blade, following a spout of blood to spill onto the floor.

Feeling the rage grow within, Luna began to slash at Pinkie's increasingly lifeless body, laceration after laceration, not letting her stamina stop her unending flurry of deadly attacks as they gradually sped up in velocity.

After all of her stamina had been drained so that Luna could barely stand, Pinkie's sliced and bloody body keeled over into a worthless pile, spilling blood in the pints. Pinkie had fallen, and Luna had to maintain her nerves, as the beasthood within her had grasped many fibres of her being.

Luna considered it revenge for the massacre that this horrid Nightmare had caused to this unwilling victim.

Taking long breaths, Luna sheathed her blades and stood over the now lifeless body. Luna knew that this was her most formidable challenge, and through the assistance of another, she also fell to her demise.

"May you find your worth in the waking world." Luna muttered before using her precise magic to close Pinkie's eyelids, granting her peace at last. With her back to Sunset, she closed her eyes and took a deep inhale before thanking Sunset for her valiant efforts.

"I would like to thank you for assistance in defeating the source of this nightma-" Luna spoke only to be interrupted.

She felt a sudden shortness of breath. A warm liquid began trickling down her matted fur and dripped onto the floor, quickly creating a pool of thick, dark blood. Luna's eyes widened as she started to feel the pain of impalement, cutting off her ability to think rationally.

Looking behind her accompanied by extreme agony, Luna saw the source of the pain. Sunset had driven the Saw Cleaver that Pinkie wielded in the previous battle right through Luna's barrel, ripping apart flesh, destroying innards and crushing bones until the blade protruded from the other side.

Twisting the blade violently, Sunset ripped the blade out of the mortal wound, leaving Luna to collapse in pain, not able to tend to the large amounts of blood she was losing quickly.

As Luna writhed in pain, feeling the familiar clutches of death enveloping her, Sunset stood above her, with a smug smile on her face.

"Thanks for getting rid of her for me, she was difficult for me. But due to you being such a narrow minded fool, I have bested you as well. This nightmare is mine to rule, and I shall see that you have no intervention inside of it. Sweet dreams, Princess Luna." Sunset spoke proudly, snapping the Saw Cleaver back into a compact position before leaving Luna to be encompassed by the familiar numbness of death.

Oh, you may think of it all, as a mere, bad dream.

Luna awakened within her Relaxation Room, immediately greeted by a further disturbingly warped Paleblood Eclipse. Luna stood slowly, feeling the familiarity of a healthy and untainted body.

However, her thoughts were far from untainted. Luna felt the rage from the betrayal from Sunset Shimmer radiate from her body, causing her to visibly shake with anger.

Turning and looking into the cracked bedside mirror, Luna stared at her twisted reflection that possessed fangs, red eyes and a thirst for blood. Luna was witnessing the beasthood within her, but this was not for euphoric purposes.

Luna wanted revenge. Sunset Shimmer would be slain by her blade, and no honour shall be blessed upon the ensuing battle.
