Nightmare Moon has waited in hiding all of these years... At last now's her chance to strike. It would seem like an ordinary winter, if not during the middle of summer. The darkest hour has come...

Nightmare Moon has decided to return, to take what is rightfully hers! She wants it her way and the only way to do that is to fulfill the deed no villain has ever accomplished. The death of Princess Celestia herself.

Mystery is in the air, Celestia is trying to find out what is wrong. Feeling like she is crazy! The skies are forever grey, and it is impossible to see whether it's night... Or day.

Lying with Honest Intentions (Part 2)

Celestia sighed turning to Luna, at that second her eyes closed. Celestia had not noticed, and she gave a small smile, "Oh sister... I love you." She chuckled warmly, "And now's the time so say... Sweet Dreams." She sighed happily, as she then walked off the balcony and headed for downstairs.

A tear rolled down Luna's eye as she opened them, to only just be her normal blue eyes. She looked over to where Celestia left, giving a long sigh, before closing her eyes and began to sleep once again. Once she had closed her eyes she muttered something to herself. At that point ice began to grow around the entry way slowly sealing off the balcony.

Celestia was walking down to the kitchen before then gasping loudly as she slipped down the stairs. She tumbled down to the rug just below the stairs. She groaned, slowly fixing herself up, and looking to the stair case, "It's frozen... on the stairs." Her eyes widened, "Luna!!!" She shouted.

Luna was gone from her bed, instead she was in the same room and opening up the fridge. She held a cookie in her mouth along with carrying a milk jug, with her magic. She was puling out a pizza box from the fridge, "Yes Celestia, what is it? I'm right here there's no need to shout." She gave a light giggle as she slowly munched on her cookie.

Celestia's eyes widen, before sighing with relief, "Oh luna! You're alright!" She hugged her wrapping her wings around her. Surprised Luna accidentally, dropped her milk jug, and it fell to the floor letting milk get everywhere.

Luna frowned, "Ah dang... I dropped my milk. And... Yeah, I'm alright why wouldn't I be?"

Celestia looked at her slightly confused, "What? But the stairs! They were frozen! ... And, I thought you might have been trapped upstairs..." She said still sounding slightly worried. It seemed that Luna didn't even care for the cold!

Luna giggled, "Celestia, what are you talking about? The stairs aren't frozen." She raised a eyebrow, "Were you that loud sound falling down the stairs? ... You know you could just use your magic right?"

Celestia sighed, "Unicorns haven't been able to use magic, because the freezing cod would only freeze their magic, making it turn to ice freezing all around their horn."

Luna continued to munch her cookie, not seeming to care, even letting the milk continue to spill, "O-oh! Right, I forgot. You have your wings though..."

Celestia sighed closing her eyes, "When Pegasus open their wings their feathers freeze, along with their wing bones, not allowing them to fly. Luna, do you remember any of this?!" Luna finished her cookie not even paying attention before realizing she was biting her hoof.

She looked down before giving a small giggle, "Of course I do! I was just testing you to see if you knew or not! A pop quiz." She smiled as she looked down to her milk, picking it up and then cleaning it up with a towel.

It was only now Celestia acknowledged what she said before, "What do you mean the stairs aren't frozen?"

Luna sighed rolling her eyes standing up and pointing to the stairs, "I mean... The stairs. Aren't. Frozen." The stair case, was completely normal with no ice.

Celestia blinked, "Oh... It must have been by imagination... This ice is getting the best of us."

Luna simply nodded before opening up the pizza box. There was one slice left. Her eyes widened as she saw Celestia eyeballing it. Quickly Luna snatched it when Celestia was about to take it. Luna then shoved it in her mouth already chomping on it. "Mine." She said as she swallowed.

Celestia sighed rolling her eyes, "At least I have some cake left-" She stopped and looked slightly confused, "Hey Luna... Did I raise the sun? I feel like I haven't for days now... Did I?"

Luna raised a eyebrow at Celestia, "You raised it like a few hours ago... It's morning." Celestia nodded, "I guess... Are you sure?"

Luna sighed rolling her eyes, "Yes I'm sure." Celestia once again spoke sounding even more puzzled as well as panicked, "I don't remember raising the sun..."

I think I found Waldo! (Part 3)

Luna rolled her eyes, "Celestia, you raised it a few HOURS ago!" She groaned, "Listen, Tia. I think the ice and cold weather is just getting to your head... That's it." She said before giving Celestia a hug.

Celestia sighed with relief, hugging her back, "I guess your right... Thank you, Princess Luna." Celestia said formerly as she let go walking away, "I must return to my duties. I have more important things to be doing at the moment." She said calmly walking downstairs heading for her throne room.

Luna's ears perked up, as she dropped her glass of milk. Her head turned to face Celestia who didn't even stop when the glass crashed. Luna narrowed her eyes and her ears folded down. Her eyes flickered from her normal eyes to nightmare moon's eyes. She sighed taking a deep breath, before pausing, "Did I even raise the moon?" She asked herself, before giggling lightly, "Of course I did." She then got up and trotted off saying in a cheerful tone, "Ah Celestia, of course thou has more important things to do besideth talk to us. We completely understand." She rolled her eyes before looking down rather gloomily, "Riiight..."

At that moment the clouds in the sky churned bringing even more snow and ice across Equestria. So much that it had gotten inside Canterlot Castle. As Luna made a step for the stairs ice grew around her touch. She gave a small and quick gasp lifting her foot off. The stair case within seconds was covered in ice. Luna's eyes widen, as she stayed dead silent. Everything around her was freezing except for the pathway to were Celestia had left. She groaned rolling her eyes running down the stairs getting away fro the freezing ice mess in the kitchen. She looked around seeing Princess Celestia on her throne, along with two guards. She was looking through scrolls and letters from- Oh you got to be kidding me! Luna couldn't help but give a disgusted snort, "Twilight's old friendship letters" Hear me when I say this, but to Luna's standards Celestia is obsessed with them!

Luna grunted lowly as she then walked down the hall in plain view of Celestia, exiting the doors trying to find the stain glass room.

-Celestia's version-

Celestia had walked downstairs, sighing as she made her way to the throne room. Two guards quickly then just took immediate place at her sides, before she sat down and they went to their post. She sat down with a sort of gloomy look. "Guard, bring the ruined notes." The guard nodded dashing off. Coming back within minutes he handed her a bunch of loose papers and scrolls. Celestia sighed with a slight smile, as she began to look through them. "The letter from Nightmare Night." She chuckled, reading it, "How lovely..." She sighed skipping to the next one continuing on reading. That was until Luna came into the hall. "Luna?" She asked with question. Luna seemed to have ignored her. She rolled her eyes, with a small sigh as she continued to read on.

-Back to Luna's perspective-

Luna sighed trotting along through the halls in Canterlot, looking at all the stain glass windows. She giggled softly, "Here we have Princess Twilight's stain glass window..." She trotted along, seeing Princess Cadence's and Shining Armor's window. Then we had Discord's glass window. She stopped, as she looked at the defeat of Discord. Her eyes began to glow neon as she looked upon it, with a small grin spreading across her muzzle.

She closed her eyes taking a deep breath. She continued to walk on looking upon the walls before stopping instantly. She looked upon the glass window...

Here was the Stain Glass window, that preserved the day she was defeated once again by the mane six. Even if it was for a good cause, Princess Luna was always aggravated by it.

She narrowed her eyes, "She should really take this one down before somepony get's hurt." She mumbled quietly, before trotting on, right before Slam! she ran right into the door, falling back. She blinked puzzled, as she looked up. "There never was a room here..." She mumbled to herself, as she got herself up slowly, and used her magic opening the door. Her eyes flashed white, and her horn began to glow yellow as she then walked through the door.

In her mind something whispered,
"From this door you will see the truth
Beneath your sister's lying hoof,
A secret she hid for all these years
to hide herself from her terrible fears,
A window she took down right on that day
even now if you asked she would never say,
not once did she mention this one piece of art,
because she simply thought it would tear you apart."

Luna walked inside as the rhyme grew louder in her head, over and over again, before it was just the last two lines inside her mind. She saw it was one giant white sheet covering something underneath. Her eyes began to widen, and her heart pounded. Her eyes beginning to glow brighter white along with her horn glowing yellow. The door slammed shut but she didn't turn around. She then used her hoof taking off the white sheet, before gasping.

Back in the Dream Team (Part 4)

Luna looked upon it with tears in her eyes. That... It wasn't true. Was it? Luna walked upon it moving closer and closer. Her eyes, glowing bright white... Purple smoke began to glow from her eyes, along with her eyes turning green. Tears rushed down as she looked upon it in, sadness... Before that sadness turned to anger. She began to shout, words that shouldn't be said most likely because if you look above there is still that black box with a 'CC' so... Yeah.

-Celestia's perspective-

"LUNA!" She shouted waving her hoof in front of her. "Luna can you hear me?!" Celestia said frightened. They were in the middle, of the Glass Stained Window Hall. Luna was curled up on the floor crying and singing the song,

"From this door you will see the truth
Beneath your sister's lying hoof,
A secret she hid for all these years
to hide herself from her terrible fears,
A window she took down right on that day
even now if you asked she would never say,
not once did she mention this one piece of art,
because she simply thought it would tear you apart"
She was singing it over and over again.

Celestia's eyes clouded with gloom, "Luna!" She cried, looking to her in horror.

-Luna's Perspective-

"Lunnaaaaa~ Luuuuunnnaaaaa~" A whispering voice, called out to her. Luna looked around as her horn turned bright blue, and her eyes to her normal Luna type eyes.

"Who's there?" She called, out looking around. "Show yourself!"

Slowly grey shadows began to form around her. "It's been a while Luna... Or should we say... your Highness, Nightmare Moon?"

Luna growled, "It's Princess Luna! What do you want?! Leave me alone thou whelps!" She said sternly, as she looked upon them surrounding her.

The shadows sighed, "Oh but that's not why we came here... We came here to take you back. Not to leave with an empty hoof." Luna raised a eyebrow, "...Do they not realize they do not stand a chance?" She muttered to herself, before shaking her head and continuing to speak, "We are not going to let thou take us back! We are good, and have no more hate for Princess Celestia!"

The shadows grinned, "Oh is that so...?"

Luna gulped down, "Y-yes."

The shadows sighed, "Liar... If you had no hate for Celestia, then what exactly are the Windingoes here for? There is no hate in Equestria that could possibly give them such power... And how is it only bad in Canterlot? The rest of Equestria seem to be... Enjoying the snow... How is it that, you could possibly not hate Celestia when this power comes to Equestria?" They all chuckled, and laughed at the same time.

Luna raised a eyebrow, "Have you ever thought that it was Discord's hate? Chrysalis's hate? ... Perhaps- Uh... Sombra's?"

One of the shadows gave a small, 'Tsk tsk' "Luna dear... We are inside your mind."

Luna raised a eyebrow at all of them, "No... The elements purified, me. You have no control over me, inside and out. Your playing your mind games!"

The shadows laughed, giggled, guffaw, and even cackled. "Oh it's so punny it hurts!" Then there was the loud sound of a snap, and Luna's eyes shot wide open.

Her eyes, shook with fear and were flooded with tears as she awoke. Celestia sighed with relief quickly hugging her. Luna was frozen with fear, not even acknowledging that Celestia was hugging her. Luna breathed lightly, hardly breathing at all! Luna gulped down. Celestia gave a cry of joy as she hugged her tightly, "Oh, dear Luna! You're alright... You're alright..." She sighed with relief, but Luna remained frozen. Inside her mind Luna thought, It was a dream... It was inside my mind... Before her eyes widen from that point, They were inside my mind...

Nightmare Moon teleported right to her side, looking down at Celestia. "Oh this is so easy now..." Nightmare Moon whispered, as she looked down, at Celestia... In such a vulnerable position... One shot is all it took. Nightmare Moon readied her magic about to shoot before Celestia grabbed onto her as her eyes flashed white sending them both tumbling down into the streets of Canterlot. They slid on the ice, trying to run after each other. It was only then Nightmare Moon took notice to her horn... Frozen. Nightmare Moon could use her magic now and Celestia wouldn't be able to do anything. Nightmare Moon knew where the hate was coming from... Celestia. Celestia's hate for Nightmare Moon and all those evil of Equestria. Luna should have took notice of Celestia's paranoia. Celestia's love for Luna is what caused it to melt around her during that time during the stairs and kitchen. Because Windingoes's magic melts from love, friendship, and compassion. But by her hate she had doomed Equestria putting them in a eternal freeze. Her panic over Equestria had caused her to forget raising the sun.

Nightmare Moon laughed, as she looked upon Celestia's blue face, from all the cold. Nightmare Moon smiled, her sharp teeth baring. "Celestia- I have to say... You doomed yourself. You doomed Equestria!"

Celestia shivered, "S-sister.... W-what a-are y-you talking a-about?" The cold didn't seem to take effect on Nightmare Moon... What had she done?

"Your hatred." She said simply. "And your panic over Equestria, had caused you to forget." Nightmare Moon walked up to her, slightly sliding over. She stopped as she placed a hoof to her horn. Celestia lifted a hoof but with a quick shriek she slid down falling to the ice. Nightmare Moon laughed, "Shadows!" She said simply, as the grey shadows spread around her, "Clear the skies." She said simply to them.

Celestia on the floor looked o the creatures, "L-luna.... W-what have t-those vile c-creatures d-done to you..." Nightmare Moon chuckled darkly, as the shadows flew into the sky and all the freezing cold white clouds vanished. It was pitch black in the sky with a bright full moon. No stars. Just a moon. Nightmare Moon laughed, "It's been nighttime all along! And you so foolishly took us both outside only trapping yourself! I have to say waiting this long... Worth it. And plus I didn't except it to be this easy!" She gave a small satisfied giggle.

Celestia's eyes sadden, "L-luna... You W-waited???"

Nightmare Moon sighed, "You see- I was never redeemed..." She said calmly, "The elements of harmony cannot posses such a power, to turn ones heart back to good."

Celestia grumbled with fury beginning to burn inside, "Please... continue."

Nightmare Moon bit the air as if Celestia asked her to 'bite me' Nightmare Moon growled lowly as she continued to speak, "Discord was turned to stone when we dealt with him- As I was sent to the moon the first time. But the second time he turned back to stone.... Tell me this sis." She knelt down with the shadows support of her not slipping. She looked to Celestia placing a hoof under her chin, "Wasn't Discord.... Good in the beginning?" Celestia's eyes widen, simply listening now. Nightmare Moon sighed, "I wasn't finished when I first fought you. And neither was I when I returned... I don't want to be good- I want to finish what I started those many years ago. So I used a backup plan. The shadows that corrupted me- I forced them out creating a shield why I took form of Princess Luna. The shadows then were killed off from the Elements. Well not exactly killed from them but the magic was so powerful they vaporized... Which left me alive, and I've been under your muzzle for over a 3 years now." She said chuckling, as Celestia simply looked at her awestruck.

Celestia growled, "Nightmare Moon." She said in her stern voice, "You must lower the moon! Your Kingdom will die! You will create your own prison- and I will be dead. And you will be alone. Forever." She said simply with a growl.

Nightmare Moon laughed at her as she said "alone" "Tsk tsk Celestia... You think I am that stupid. Oh no! I created a few allies. Celestia, you may have not learned this yet but..." She keeled down and whispered into her sister's ear, her voice came off as a hiss, "Nothing is forever." Nightmare Moon stood up, with a giant grin spreading across her muzzle. Celestia's eyes widen with fear. She looked down to her hooves, seeing the ice slowly piling more and more. Nightmare Moon had at her side,

She had Vladimir to her left, along with King Sombra, Basilisk Nova, along with at her other side she had Queen Chrysalis, but right next to Nightmare Moon she had Arua. Although it's unclear as to when they met, Nightmare Moon and Arua were best friends and the most loyalest of allies during these dark times.

Celestia looked at her, "A entire group dedicated to destroying me..."

Arua gave a small grin looking to Celestia, "Oh we are here for much more then to kill you Celestia."

Nightmare Moon nodded, "Oh yes, We will destroy the wielders of the elements of harmony... All hope in Equestria will be lost."

Basilisk Nova then spoke after Nightmare Moon, "And we contacted the elements of harmony, telling them to meet you in Can-"

"We're here!" Princess Twilight Sparkle Shouted at the gates, along with her friends at her side.

Here they were face to face. Queen Chrysalis against Applejack. King Sombra against Pinkie Pie. Basilisk Nova, looked to Rainbow, preparing to fight, both snarling at each other. Vladimir looked at Fluttershy, with his red blood orb looming near him. Queen Astria was up against Rarity, and lastly... Arua was face to face with Twilight Sparkle.

Celestia weakly got up, almost slipping falling back and landing next to Twilight. Twilight shrieked, "Princess!" She quickly jumped over to her, grabbed her. She grabbed her hoof pulling Celestia up trying to help her.

Celestia finally was on her hooves, as she looked at her puzzled, "Twilight? How are you not slipping?" Twilight smiled tapping her foot against the ground, Celestia realized... They had friendship. Which would easily melt the ice... Celestia nodded as she stood next to Twilight looking to the other ponies. Of course Celestia and Nightmare Moon were face to face.

Basilisk Nova, growled, "Hope you enjoy hell you worthless insects." He spat at the mane six.

Nightmare Moon sighed, "Oh how funny. We all have our own targets~! ...Arua." She turned to her, "Be careful with that one." She whispered to her in her ear. Arua simply nodded as she turned to face Twilight once again. Nightmare Moon narrowed her eyes angrily, at Celestia as Celestia did the same. It remained silent, all of them staring at each other. Ponies of Canterlot peeked out their window staring at them. The ice began to slowly melt, from the power of friendship beaming from the mane six.

A bright orange flaming bird came down flying up next to Celestia. Nightmare Moon raised a eyebrow, as only then shadows swarmed around the seven villains, hooves. The bird target was the shadows now...

Nightmare Moon sighed as she looked to Celestia calmly, before her expression changed instantly into hatred and anger, "ATTACK!!!"

The Ending Trail (Final Part; 7)

_-= THE ENDING TRAIL =-_

Usually when sisters had a fight they'd yell and insult each other before one begins to cry and parents sorted it out for them, and things would go back to normal the next day. Well, that was for "normal" sisters. But no- when celestial alicorn sisters fight one turns evil and tries to take over the whole world, and wants to watch the other suffer and pay the price after a previous argument from 1000 years ago. Funny... It sounds oerly dramtic when you say it out loud. Though it's hard to hear it out loud when THERE'S A GIANT BATTLE GOING ON!

Red glistening blood stained across the stone street of Canterlot. Ponies fighting against their enemy, using all force they had. It was only... Princess Celestia and Nightmare Moon only stared at each other while the others fought. As if talking telepathically... That or the ultimate staring contest of who gets the throne. Who'd win? Well, obviously Nightmare Moon because Princess Celestia just dashed off toward the castle.

"Lets fly to the Castle Sunbutt," Nightmare Moon shook her head, cackling.

The Solar Princess dashed off toward her castle, and without hesitation Nightmare Moon followed straight after her.

Basilisk Nova sent a magic beam toward his opponent Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash shrieked, as it hit her wing. He growled, "Darn it! I missed your heart!"

Rainbow Dash rasped, her voice slightly shaky, "Why...? Was it a love spell...?" She snapped back at him, with sass. Basalisk snarled before jumping straight at her thrashing his hooves toward the rainbow mare.

Arua sent a quick spell toward Twilight. The magic traveled so fast it could only be seen for a split second before it hit Twilight. The purple alicorn's face turned blue and her eyes rolled back into her head and she fell unconscious. Arua grinned, "Paralyzed. Should come back in about two weeks or so... Hopefully."

Nightmare Moon chased after Princess Celestia quickly, before noticing where she was going. The Tower. It was a observatory where Celestia and Luna used to go to look around at Canterlot. They hadn't been there since before the "newer" observatory tower was built. Meaning since before the banishment. It was a giant tower with windows almost being the entire wall. A huge set of spiral stars to the top, the roof. Princess Celestia dashed down into the castle going to the door in the very beginning of the tower. Nightmare Moon obviously following after her. Princess Celestia dashed up the stairs while her furious sister, Nightmare Moon galloped toward her. Celestia came into full view of Nightmare Moon, a perfect time for a perfect shot. She charged her horn, sending a dark blue ray of magic toward Celestia. Missing and only hitting the stairs the stone cracked and crumbled falling to the floor. The Moon princess spread her black alicorn wings and flew right over the gap. Princess Celestia's hooves stormed up the stairs, not even taking a break for breath. Celestia was old... She wouldn't be able to last much longer. Or at least Nightmare Moon thought. It was hard to see grey hair around Celestia's muzzle if her coat was white. Nightmare Moon on the other hoof did have a few visible ones, around her muzzle.

Nightmare Moon gasped for breath as she pushed on forward, though she heard Celestia right above her. Not thinking properly, she sent a magical ray of blue light right above her, missing Celestia by a few inches. Nightmare Moon shrieked quickly running forward, causing great pain in her sides, as the stone fell behind her. Soon the tower came to a end...

Princess Celestia reached the very top of the tower. Using her hind hooves she bucked the door open to be on the top of the tower on the golden roof. This observatory was the tallest tower in Canterlot. It was the highest, and the one that could overlook the entire city and a lot of Equestria. Nightmare Moon a few minutes later came up behind her... Merely walking. "Celestia." She rasped in a bitter tone. The Princess stood at the edge just looking out upon the city.

"It's Princess Celestia, to you, 'Woona'..." She mumbled. Nightmare Moon snorted, before calming down. The night time breeze was stronger up here then anywhere down there in the city. The nighttime shone and reflected upon the golden tower.

The old white mare gave a long tired sigh, "Do not expect me to think this day would not come... After the dragon attacked the Empire, when we were hardly teenagers, things only got worse in Equestria."

The corrupted princess snorted, "You burst into flames when you fought that dragon. You surely scared the living buck out of me... Equestria didn't get worse. You did."

Celestia ignored the insult and went on, "We didn't have much trouble, when we were younger. Unless you count dealing with Princess Platinum and her name calling and stuck up attitude trouble."

Nightmare Moon gave a light chuckle, "Oh she was plenty." Giving a light giggle, Celestia shook her head. "We've been through so much together... Since we are alicorns we live forever... The drama never stops between us. Oh but it's such fun, once we get through it and laugh about it in the future... Like when you pranked all of Star Swirls rep's back in our old castle... Oh I was so annoyed." They both couldn't help but laugh, by the memories they had. Was Nightmare Moon... getting soft? Slowly, Nightmare Moon's coat began to change, as she moved closer to Princess Celestia. Her height slowly began to grow shorter and her entire appearance turning back to her normal Luna-self.

Princess Celestia turned around to look at her, with her red puffy eyes as tears rolled down. Before... looking to Luna in astonishment. "I-I forgive you... You can still change what you've done, this can stop..." Celestia said warmly, trying to force a smile on her muzzle. Princess Luna, walked up to her closer, pulling her in for a hug. Both the sisters "reunited"...

Before one push. Princess Celestia gasped quickly using her fore-hooves, holding onto the brim of the roof, clinging onto it. "L-luna!? What are you doing?!"

Princess Luna* walked up and over to the edge looking down to her. "I don't think you'll be needing these..." Her horn glowed blue as Celestia's horn snapped off and fell all the way down to the floor. A mouse cursor appeared into reality before clicking onto Celestia's wings, and then pulled them off cleanly before throwing them into a computer trash can. After, they vanished and Celestia was left a earthpony.

Still holding on... Though her grip began to loosen. "Luna!" Her eyes widen, "Sister! Help me!" Princess Luna gave her a look of anger, and disgust her sharp teeth bared at her.

Moving her hooves she smashed them right onto Celestia's hooves, using a spell causing claw like thorns to stab into her hooves. Blood trickled down Celestia's fore-hooves as she shrieked in pain. Luna's appearance changed back to Nightmare Moon, as she lowered herself looking to Celestia with a sort of evil grin, her eyes narrowed as she spoke in a dark voice, "Long... live... the Queen..." Princess Celestia's eyes widen in horror, as Nightmare Moon let go of her sisters hooves. The solar princess screamed at the top of her lungs in horror as she fell down, plunging all the way to the Canterlot Floors.

A loud crack spread across the stone floors as the dead princess hit the ground, with a loud thud ...

The mane six defeated. All were trapped in separate cages made by Sombra and Queen Chrysalis's dark magic. Twilight paralyzed though still in her own cage. The villains stood by each cage proudly looking from afar to the fallen princess.

Nightmare Moon stood from atop the tower, looking all the way down to the princess on the floor many feet below. Nightmare Moon couldn't believe it was finally over....

The new Queen of Equestria laughed loudly, "Bwuahahahahahahaaaaa!" She felt like she could own the world... Oh wait... She does.

She couldn't express her victory well enough... This... was... perfect...

Nightmare Moon spread her black wings soaring down from the sky to the front of the castle. She yelled at the top of her lungs, "Bring the Cages!" Slowly her "friends" and mare-friend, made their way over with their "prey" having them lined up behind her. Once again each sitting by their cages. Nightmare Moon then ordered, "PONIES OF CANTERLOT! COME OUT OF YOUR HOMES!!!" In a few minutes out of pure fright everypony walked out into the streets looking to Queen Nightmare Moon, with the dead alicorn lying right in front of her. The black alicorn's voice boomed as she spoke, "Your once beautiful land of Equestria is under new management... Remember this day... Because it was your last... The Night lasts... FOREVER!"

Plan's are Beginning (Part 1)

It was a winter day, in Equestria. Cold, and bitter. Down in Ponyville things were nice and happy, all the ponies were outside, frolicking in the snow, and playing around with their little games of snow ball fights, towering forts and snowponies. Life in Equestria was great- expect for one "small" thing. In Canterlot it wasn't happy, and it was far from it indeed! The floors of the Canterlot City were frozen. There had been almost ten accidents already. Four lived but the other six died from major head injury. Things in Canterlot weren't going so well...

It was far to cold and the snow up on the Canterlot mountain began to pile to high, some of it toppling over the City walls leaving ponies blocked inside a house with no escape. No pony could call for help. Any Pegasi in Canterlot couldn't fly because of the extreme cold temperatures.

Princess Celestia was inside her sleeping chambers wearing, a warm hat along with a long warm scarf. She wore a very comfortable blanket/cape to keep herself warm, in these temperatures. Celestia looked in the mirror before hearing something, small and faint. her ears perked up, listening. She sighed closing her eyes, "My dear sister..." She turned her head slightly so one of her eye looked to her. It was Nightmare Moon laying down in Celestia's bed. She gave a grin, narrowing her eyes. Celestia gave a small quick gasp turning her entire head to face Nightmare Moon, but... She was gone. And it was just the little Princess Luna sleeping on the bed, like she was before. It was just her eyes tricking her again, she presumed.

Celestia's eyes softened, as she walked over to Luna, who was snuggled up in Celestia's bed. She gave a soft smile, as she keeled down and gave her sister a soft kiss on the forehead. "Stay warm dear sister..." She said calmly, before getting up, and walking out to the balcony. She took a seat on the salt covered stone, and looked out to the Equestrian land. The place was completely white and blue, covered in ice. Frozen...

Celestia sighed with a small frown, "What is causing this snow? We are at peace, -harmony! Everything is happy, and no pony is angry at each other even through these harsh times. It can't be Windigoes... There isn't this much hate in all of Equestria... I feel like I'm blind! Like something is staring me right in the face, and it's the answer... But I can't see it." She sighed closing her eyes, as she felt the cold wind rush past her sending a cold shiver down her spine.

While in the mean time, Luna was in her bed. Not asleep... Luna's body was facing Celestia when Celestia's back faced her. Luna's eyes opened, neon blue with black slits...

It takes a while to notice the truth! (Part 5)

Luna and Celestia walked up the stairs to the Kitchen tower. The ice around the kitchen and the stairs was water, and as they walked across the kitchen the water around them vaporized, as they got closer to the stairs. As Luna and Celestia walked upstairs all around the kitchen it began to freeze, once again.

Celestia was quite tired not even taking what had just happened to account. She took off her royal Canterlot shoes, along with her crown and instantly got into bed dozing off quickly. Luna on the other hoof was laying down in her bed, not blinking for more then a second, let alone blinking at all. She tried to remain awake, to afraid of what might happen when she slept.

Her eyes began to droop, and she felt so tired. She yawned as she slowly began to close her eyes, falling asleep. As soon as she closed her eyes to begin rest, there was the sound of falling stone. Her eyes widen as she looked around, wide awake. Was this a dream? She blinked... She wasn't tired at all. She tried lifting a hoof but she was stuck... Yeaah, this is probably a dream. She rolled her eyes sighing, before then shadows swarmed around her.

Luna's eyes widen quickly trying to move yelling, "No! Let me go!" She shouted, trying to break free. Nothing would work. She tried flying and teleporting away but... It was simply a lost cause. She stared at all of them, "What is it!? What do you want!? Why must you invade everything! You are trying to take over my life, but you will not prevail!"

The shadows all laughed, as one explained, "What we want is a ruler... Nightmare Moon. If you do not give in willingly, and come clean when we turn you back to her we will follow you in your shadows. We will control you... If you try to tell someone we'll kill them."

Luna growled, "This is a dream! My dream! You cannot do anything to me!" She yelled.

The shadows sighed, "So be it." They then swarmed around her, before the "lead" one jumped at her absorbing into her horn. The rest followed, some going through her eyes. She screamed, but that only let them go down through her mouth. Tears rushed down, before-

She sprang up from her bed, looking down at herself. She narrowed her eyes, which glowed in the dark, as she stood up tall. She looked down at Celestia's sleeping body, as a grin spread across her muzzle and she bared her sharp teeth.
