Shadow Warrior
Ch.3 - A Nightmarish Truce
Previous ChapterNext ChapterMore and more cracks appeared on my prison as Nightmare pumped even more magic into my stone prison. Soon enough, all the stone has fallen off of me.
"AAAAAAA- feels good to be free!" I said while stretching of those 1003 years off.
I hear Nightmare chucklling a little bit, "Yes and you have me to thank for that." Well doesn't she seem proud? I wonder what her reaction will be when I backstab her.
Also before I get too far, Nightmare Moon is a bit taller than me and is wearing black armor.
I put on a smile, "Why thank you, Nightmare Moon."
She raises an eyebrow, "How do you know who I am?"
My smile widens, "Oh, I have sources that are never wrong."
She shrugs it off, guess she lost interest. What she does next puts me on edge. She's gives me bedroom eyes. "No matter, but why don't you prove your loyalty and please me." As she says that, she's walking towards me.
I start walking backwards, "Um, what do you mean?" Sweat slowly forming.
"I've been on the moon for a 1000 years and hands can only do so much, I need this." Her armor turns into a black mist, now she's only wearing her panties and bra which is also black.... surprise, surprise. Though I must say... DAAAAMMMMNNNN!
'Ugh, save Equestria or get ass. Equestria or ass. Tough decision... I'm gonna hate myself' I'm not backed up into a wall.
"What about the elements?" Hopefully she'll bite... NOT IN THAT SENSE!
"What about the elements? Celestia is disconnected from them. There is nothing to worry about." Now she's gliding her hands over me.
"What about the element bearers?" Last shot, if she doesn't go for it... then at least I'll enjoy myself and said I tried.
"WHAT? NEW ELEMENT BEARERS?" As she grabs my head with hands and makes me look into her eyes. "Are you absolutely sure? How do you know about this?!"
"Yes, there are six ponies destined to wield the elements. As for your second question, I have amazing sources." That was a close one.
She lets me go, "Hmm, where are these element bearers located?" She puts her armor back on via mist.
"All six ponies are located in Ponyville." I then decided to put some extra information in, "Celestia is going to inform them of your existence. Unless... she is somehow not at ponyville."
"So then, we capture her and lock her up in this abandon castle?" Am I her 'royal' adviser now? As long as I can get her to do what she has to do.
"Wouldn't you like to capture Celestia by yourself? This will prove that you are better than her and you can take all the credit for yourself." She seems to like this idea. "Then once you have her imprisoned, you can announce to the ponies in Ponyville of their new queen."
"Yes. Yes! YES! This is such a brilliant idea!"
"It's a good thing you came up with this, my queen." Her expression says it all... I'm playing her beautifully and she doesn't even know.
She chuckles, "Yes, it's a good thing I came up with it. Come minion let us setup my masterful plan." This is all too good.
After we had prepared, Nightmare Moon went off to capture Celestia leaving me time.
"Hey Yami?" For those who don't know Yami, it's my alter ego that was made from the void. After eight years I FINALLY decided to give him a name.
'Yes, what is it?'
"Did you send off my token?" He did say he'll send once I wasn't imprisoned anymore.
'Yes, I had send it to others, though you haven't obtain any tokens yet.'
"Alright, guess that's okay. I'm bound to get a token one day." At that moment I heard something be teleported in.
"Welp, guess Celestia been caught. I'm gonna go explain my plan to her." I begin walking towards the prison that we had setup for her.
I opened the door to see Celestia on the floor with tears. As for what she was wearing, it was a white toga, that hugged her tightly leaving little to the imagination, it also revealed her cutiemark.
Though when she sees me, she immediately gets angry. "How did you escape?" Well then, this is a step up from before.
"Nightmare Moon thought she can place a leash around me. I decided to play it off until Twilight and her friends get here. Watch as the elements free Luna, then come out to congratulate you. That about sums it up." She looked surprised but her look of anger came back.
"Why would you help? You're evil, why should you care?" Ouch.
"What points to me being evil?" She didn't answer. "As for your second question, I care for the element bearers and Luna's saftey." She chose to give me the silent treatment.
*Sigh* "Look, believe what you want to believe." I then walk over to the door, continuing what I have to say. "I believe that I can do good." Right before I left the room, I pulled out the key to her locks and tossed it towards her. "Whoops... hopefully Celestia doesn't figure out that the key can be used to unlock her locks." She looks at me and the key with the most surpised look I have ever seen. "Hopefully she doesn't play along with what I have planned."
I then open the door and hear Celestia faintly say "Thank you." I couldn't help but smile knowing that I proven myself to her.
I stayed in the castle making sure that I couldn't be seen from where I was. I would've gone out to make sure the main 6 was alright but this was thier 'trials'. I would not intervene, I'll only come out to congratulate them when Luna is freed... which would be happening soon. I could hear Nightmare Moon's obnoxious laughter.
I went to the room with Twilight, Nightmare Moon and five of the elements. I didn't bother listening to their conversation and just observed.
Twilight began charhing at Nightmare Moon with her horn lit, while Nightmare did the same. Of course, Twilight teleported to where the elements where, but what happen next surprised me. Nightmare summoned a pure black spear and threw it at Twilight.
Fear caused her from moving out of the way, so I acted fast. In a moment I appeared from my hidng spot and caught the spear before it impaled Twilight.
"MINION! What are you doing?!" I could ask her the same.
"Sorry, but this caught me by surprise. I didn't know you would do this and because of this, things have changed. Now I'll have to defeat you."
"First you betray me then you claim you'll defeat me... you are just full of surprises. I must admit you did fool me, but you can't fool me twice." She grins as she says that. "I freed you from your stone imprisonment, I'm stronger than Celestia! I will be the one killing you!" The spear I caught formed into a mist and went back to her hand and reformed into a spear again.
The rest of the main 6 and Celestia (which I assumed met up with them and explained what happened) came into the room but I ignore them for now. "You think you can kill me? Well then, you better be able to back those words up."
I immediately run towards her to which she thrusts her spear at me, but I slid under and immediately got back up and aimed a kick towards her back, knocking her away. She turns around and comes at me at full speed to which I jumped over her and kick her away in mid air. While she was getting up I come at her again and grab her head to which I slam her head into the ground at full force making the floor crack. Before she even has a chance to do anything I kick her away again. She finally gets up and proceeds to shoot magic at me which did nothing.
"H-how did that not work!?"
"Dark magic doesn't effect me." I again run at her, to which she waits to strike this time. Right as I got nearby she tries to skewer me but I quickly dodge to my right and turn around and grab her spear with my right hand and elbow her with my left elbow. She lets go of her spear and I immediately spin the spear in a circle hitting Nightmare with the blunt end, knocking her away. She again makes the spear turn into a mist and called it back to her.
She's smirks, "Trying to use my own weapon against me are you? Well too bad! I can easily call my spear back any time." After she said that, I just smirk and hold my right hand out turning the spear into a mist and coming towards me. "W-what, but-but HOW?!"
When the mist gets into my hand however, it formed into a different spear.

"Im-impossible!" She hasn't seen anything yet. She summons a black sword and begins to charge at me but I jumped towards the ceiling to which her eyes followed me. Once I was on the ceiling I jumped of it and came at Nightmare from the top she jumped back and I made a small crater from where I landed.
"Full Thrust!" I rear back and charged forth, she dodged to the left and I made a decent size hole in the wall. She was about to swing at me but I yelled out "Chaos Thrust!" At that moment I swing at her three times each time causing cherry blossoms to appear. She again gets knock back. That's when I think we should end it. "Twilight gather your friends to use the elements. To make it work you must think what makes you and your friends special, think back to your journey from Ponyville to here. You'll know what to do from there." I assumed she went to it.
Nightmare Moon was back up and looked pissed. She turned into a mist a spread about everywhere. I put my spear away and placed my hands on the trigger and handle and closed my eyes. When I felt where she was I pushed the trigger and cut her sword in half, knocking her to the ground again. When I noticed the elements charging up, I sheathed my sword and waited. She got back up, trying to kill me by glaring, to which I pointed behind her.
END MUSIC
When she turned around, the main 6 fired the Elements of Harmony at her causing her to scream in agony. After that, a bright flash covered the room. Where Nightmare Moon use to be now lays a magic exhausted Luna.
