Rogue Life
Chapter 5
Previous ChapterNext ChapterLuna groaned and looked around. Her head spun quickly as she took in her surroundings. She was right in the middle of her own room. The one back in Equestria.
Luna jumped from her bed walked over to her shelves which must of been replaced.
"This can't be happening!!! I was at Red Stone!!!! No!!!!! Jack!! Ross!!!" Luna cried and looked through her window. She sighed and turned her head to the opening door.
"Sister. I'm sorry but they had no choice..... They took you in your sleep," Celestia said. She walked over to her sister and put a wing around her.
"But I was guarded!!! It would be impossible for them to take me!!" Luna said.
Luna glanced at her sister who had a demon like grin. She immediately jumped out of her sister's grip and growled. "What is thou smiling at? Is thy Princess of the Night funny? Is thou truly thy sister?" Luna hissed.
Celestia replied. "Oh Luna, I'm not your sister." Celestia laughed maniacally and started turning black. "I'm you!!!!!" the black figure said.
Celestia was no more. In her place was a grinning Nightmare Moon.
Luna backed up. "STAY AWAY FROM ME YOU DEMON!!!!!"
Nightmare Moon ignored Luna and disappeared.
Luna glanced around and suddenly felt dizzy. She felt like she was growing. She looked down at her hooves. They weren't blue, they were black with long armor on them. Her legs had grown to the size of Celestia's.
Luna ran to her mirror and looked into it. She saw the reflection of Nightmare Moon in it.
"NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" Luna bellowed.
Luna woke up in her bed, the one in the mountains. She looked around and saw her hooves completely black, but without the large armor. She looked around saw Jack curled up in a ball and laying by her tummy. She was now larger than Jack which gave Jack lots of room to curl up in.
Luna sighed and studied her hooves. Using her magic, she made herself turn normal, which started squishing Jack.
Jack groaned and rose up. "Why are you squishing me Luna?" he asked while he rubbed his eyes. He looked into her eyes and nearly leaped out of his skin.
"What? Is there something wrong?" Luna asked worriedly. She looked around the room and saw nothing. "What did you see?"
"Your eyes and teeth..... They are.... Scary.... Just like when you told me no meat..." Jack said while backing away from Luna.
Luna got up and walked over to her mirror. She bared her teeth which were actually fangs and her eyes were teal and cat like. Luna looked back to Jack who was staring at her as if she might try to eat him.
She sighed and used her magic to go back to fully normal. "There we go. I'm no longer scary."
Jack got up from his spot and walked over to Luna. He scratched behind her ear since he was sure that a pony such as Luna doesn't eat meat. Then he quickly realized that Luna had been eating meat in her stew. "Now what Master?" He tried not to sound panicked.
Luna looked to Jack with a smile. "Are you sure I should still be leader?"
Jack nodded. "Of course!!! But we might need to get you some new clothes....." Jack stared at the remains of the cloths that Luna had previously wore.
"Hold on."
Luna picked up the cloth and used her magic to fix them. She then put all of it on and started glowing which then made her disappear. All the sudden a human and form in Lunar's clothes appeared.
"L-Luna? Is that you? You look human for once." Jack walked up to the form and pulled the hood down. The hood revealed a beautiful woman with light brown skin and magical, galaxy-like,flowing hair in a pony tail.
"Yes Jack, I am Luna," the woman giggled. Luna smiled and looked up to Jack.
Jack smiled. "Why didn't you do this instead of hiding all your fur?" Jack noticed that Luna's shoulder had the same crescent moon on it as when she was a pony.
"I guess I just rushed to look like a normal human, so I didn't exactly have that in mind at the time."
"So what will we tell the team? You did join a males only rogue group," Jack pointed out.
"That's easy. I already kicked out everyone except you and Ross. You two were the only ones who did as I said. The others did make threats to me but I have a feeling we won't ever see them again."
"When did you kick them out, Luna?" Jacked asked her. He had already grown used to "Luna" since it was very similar to "Lunar".
"Couple months ago." Luna looked at him with a sheepish smile.
Jack chuckled and swept Luna off her feet. "Let's go take you to Ross, but seriously, a couple months ago?
"Yup! Ross was the only one aware of it other than me. Um... you don't have carry me. I know how to walk in this form," Luna said with a smile.
Jack set Luna down walked down the stairs. Once he reached the bottom he looked to the top of the staircase. There, he found Luna shakily go down a step. She nearly slipped and fell, but was able to hold still.
"I think I might just fly down," Luna called out as she turned back into a pony. With one leap she glided down the staircase and landed right by Jack. "Ross should also know the truth about me. I don't need to be a human all the time."
As if talking about Ross had summoned him, Ross walked up to them and gasped at the sight of Luna's pony form.
"Didn't Master say to kick all the ponies out? I don't remember this one. Why does she have flowing hair? What will Master think? Would Master kill us? Or you?" Ross asked. "What if Ma-"
"I WILL NOT DO ANYTHING TO YOU ROSS!!!" Luna thundered.
Ross raised a brow at Luna and pointed to her. "What is that pony talking about?"
"Ross, I am Lunar. Lunar is I. Lunar is actually a pony named Luna, and that is me," Luna said as she eyed Ross.
"She kidding right?" Ross asked Jack. Jack shook his head.
"She is Lunar. Trust me, I learned first hoof," Jack smiled at Luna.
Luna smiled back and walked over to Ross. She spread her wings wide. "Yes, I'm actually a pony and yes, I have both wings and a horn."
Jack looked at the sky throw a far away window. "How long were we out?" Jack looked to his wrist watch and smiled "Eight o' clock? That means we were out for two hours even though we were in your quarters most of yesterday. Wait... Yesterday was Wensday, right?"
Luna shook her head. "Yesterday was Thursday, Wensday was the day that I revealed my true form to you. Today is now Friday."
Jack sighed, "Oh well... Time to show Ross what you can do."
Luna smiled and nodded to the exit. "Outside."
Luna walked to the door silently and opened it wide with her magic aura. She then grab the two men in her magic and pulled them to her side.
Jack smiled nervously as he and Ross were squished together and was floated down the cliff side. He turned to look for Luna so he could thank her for bringing them down instead of leaving them, but she was already busy with raising the moon.
Ross was dumbstruck at the sight of a pony raising the moon. His mouth opened and closed, but it was his only reaction.
Once the pony princess finished her work, she looked at Ross with hopeful eyes. "Was that amazing or what?" she asked playfully. Ross could only nod, for his mouth hung open.
All the sudden two new voices could be heard from behind a bush. They chatted about the night and how it looked.
"The night is stupid. It's so ugly and I wish I never existed," a voice said as Luna silently crept up on them.
Luna stopped dead in her tracks. Someone didn't like her night. Even though she put all her effort into making it beautiful and majestic. The effort she puts into guarding, it was going unnoticed.
"The moon especially is ugly. We already have one circular object that goes in the sky. We don't need two," the other voice said.
Luna backed up slowly as her bottom lip began to tremble. She accidentally bumped into Jack who gave her a smile. Luna couldn't smile back since her heart was broken. She sat on the green grass and stared at her hooves.
Oh Luna..... You might as well send them into eternal night......
Luna stayed silent. Even as Jack put a hand on her shoulders. Her night was ugly? What did she do to it that made it ugly?
"Luna? Are you ok?" Jack asked.
Luna nodded as tears streamed down her soft furry cheeks. She was almost to sobbing point until she grew angry. Angrier than she had before. She hissed softly and stood up. She wiped her tears with a hoof and started to make her way back to the hideout. She didn't even wait for Jack and Ross. She just left them as her hooves came down. She put more and more anger into each step, creating a bigger hoof mark then the one before.
"They will pay for such pickiness."
Twillight laughed as Luna and her followers left them. Apple Jack just stared at her hooves glumly.
"I didn't like lying about Luna's night like that. I think her night is beautiful, even her moon too," Apple Jack said sadly.
"Don't worry AJ, once Luna gets angry enough, she will want to be comforted by her sister and that is where we come in. In the end, this is for Celestia," Twillight said. She patted Apple Jack's back.
"Yeah.... For Celestia...."
