"Solar just seems so broken." Said Twilight
After taking Solar to the house. The town celebrated the return of Luna and the ponies all went to the house. Solar was exactly where they placed him. He was sitting on the couch motionless. His eyes just staring out at nothing. All the ponies knew that he was broken. Celestia knew more, for her son's mind was shattered. She now wished she had trained him more in mental abilities. She never thought in her wildest imagination that Solar would go up against his own fears.
"I'm afraid that he is. Nightmare Moon caused his mind to become shattered. My son is still inside, but he is to over come by his Nightmare. I'm afraid that this nightmare might have killed him and placed him in this state." Said Celestia
"How can we help him?" Asked Rainbow
"I'm afraid I'm not sure. If I had known this would have happened, I would have trained his mind in meditation and ways to protect it from stuff like this." Said Celestia with a sad sigh
"So is there anyway to save him?" Asked Rarity
"Yes there is." Luna stepped forward to all the ponies. "You see the Nightmare Blade is a powerful weapon that usually drives a pony or creature insane. But Solar is still holding strong, which means we still have a chance."
"Of course, his magic naturally protects his body, which means it is protecting his mind also." Said Twilight
"I'm not to sure what you mean, but I will go along with it. Now we need to pull Solar out of his nightmare. The blade places the user in a constant nightmare and he lives that nightmare over and over again. It is supposed to drive him into insanity. But there is a way to reverse it." Said Luna
"How?" Asked Twilight
"We push Solar out of the nightmare, where his sanity can take control. Then we all just have to wait, for Solar must be the one to defeat this nightmare and expel it from his mind. But even if he does win, he will have damage." Said Luna
"What kind of damage?" Asked Spike
"Mental damage, for that can never be reversed." Said Luna
"Well at least he will be back than this shell of him." Said Twilight
"Twilight, I want to save my son and bring him back, but you are his wife. It is your choice whether or not you want this. You out rank me with my son." Said Celestia
"Celestia, he is my husband and my love. Princess Luna, I want you to begin the process of saving Solar." Said Twilight
"Twi, ya think this is right." Said Applejack
"I know, but Solar would do the same thing for me. I know that Solar can pull through it. Solar isn't some weak warrior, no he is much stronger than he looks." Said Twilight running his hand through his hair.
"Alright, after I begin the spell, all we can do is wait. But if Solar is strong enough, he will break free of the spell and come back. But if he doesn't then I fear the spell is stronger than him." Said Luna
"Well we have to try, I know Solar can do it." Said Twilight
"Alright, then let's get this started." Said Luna
Her horn came to life and started to glow around Solar. Everypony watched as Luna was working on Solar. Luna closed her eyes and then her horn flared even more. Then it came to an end. She opened her eyes and looked at all the ponies. They looked back at Luna and Solar.
"Now we wait." Said Luna
***
Solar's Head
Solar kept living through his nightmare. He kept watching it over and over again. He was trapped in his fear, but a fear that went beyond anything he had ever dreamt. He kept living it and it never stopped. He could feel his sanity slowly passing away. But he could also feel his magic fighting back against the spell. But it was not strong enough to fight back.
Solar watched as he once again made it outside of the hospital. He then watched as the hospital once again transformed into the demon Twilight. Solar watched the nightmare and grabbed his head. But then everything was placed on pause. Solar looked around and then felt a presence near him. He looked to see an alicorn. It wasn't his mother, instead it was a different one. Her body was a phthalo blue color with a azure mane. Her eyes were still cyan in color. Her cutie mark was now a black splotch of paint with a white crescent moon. She was wearing a long dark blue dress with moons on the bottom. She had on no royal jewelry on.
"Hello Solar, I am your auntie Luna."
"Luna, your back." Said Solar, but with every little strength
"Listen Solar, you are trapped in your nightmare. You must fight back against it." Said Luna
"But I can't." Said Solar
"Yes you can Solar, for you have one true reason to fight." Said Luna
"That would be?" Asked Solar
"You fight for family and friends. You fight for the good of all. Now use that fighting spirit to fight back against this nightmare. You can do it Solar, we all will be waiting for you." Said Luna
Luna then flared her horn and showed images of all the ponies in the room. Solar looked at Twilight, he put out his hand and touched the image. Then it began to swirl around him with the others. He looked to Luna as they all swirled around him.
"We are all with you Solar, now fight back and return to us." Said Luna
She disappeared and Solar quickly felt his magic return to him. He then clenched his fist tight and looked back at the nightmare. He then leaped into action and destroyed the nightmare and then appeared in an arena. He then saw the demon Twilight appear, he clenched his fist again as he readied himself.
"You think you can destroy me, but I don't fall easily. Your just some kind of nightmare created by Nightmare Moon. Now I'll defeat you once and for all." Said Solar
"Try Solar, you will lose your sanity." Said Twilight
"Try, lets do this." Said Solar
Twilight's hands went for Solar, but he was to fast for it. Since it was now the normal version of Twilight, he was able to fight it. He summoned his strike blades and ran forward at Twilight. Hands from its stomach hole shot out towards Solar. He easily dodged a few and cut down the others. Twilight roared at him. Her face hands went towards Solar, but he leaped into the air. But they grabbed him and tossed him against the wall. He slide down and coughed up blood. Then demon Twilight rushed him, Solar quickly rolled out of the way.
Damn, this might be harder than I expected, but I have to do this. I know that all my friends, my family and my love are behind me. Solar got up and broke down his strike blades and then went for his Great Fire Blade, but he felt chains wrap around his arms. He couldn't move or create his magic.
"Don't try Solar, those chains will keep you trapped. Now I'll take your sanity." Said Twilight
"Try, I'll break free of you. I now it is you Nightmare, so you can stop playing the demon Twilight card." Said Solar
"Well done Solar, I was wondering when you would call me out." Said Nightmare
she came out of the shadows and the demon Twilight disappeared. Nightmare Moon walked forward with the nightmare blade attached to her arm. She smiled as she looked at the chained Solar, she smirked at him.
"How did you survive, I just saw my auntie free of you?" Asked Solar
"Easy, this is just a piece of me that I left inside of you." Said Nightmare
"So, you survived through me." Said Solar
"Oh yes and I have been forcing you to live this nightmare to drive your sanity away. Then I'll take your body over and return to this world again." Said Nightmare
"Over my dead body." Said Solar
She grabbed his head and brought it up to her eyes. She then kissed him on his lips. Solar could feel his sanity slowly being driven away. He tried to break free, but the chains kept him locked down. I can't let her take control of me, I have to fight back against her. Solar began to think of Twilight and her love for him. He could hear his mother's words and his father's. Nightmare soon was blasted away.
"What?!" Said Nightmare
"You think you can break me, you might have done it with that nightmare, but I'm stronger than you think. I'm the son of Celestia, trained by Captain Stonewall and married my nerdy love, Twilight. Nothing you can do it me will stop me, I'll always fight back against evil and all evil that threatens my home. So now it is time I end this." said Solar
Move to 58 seconds in to listen to the music that plays in the next section.
Solar began to pull on the chains. Nightmare Quickly got back up and quickly rushed Solar. Solar kept pulling his chains, but they weren't moving. Solar then looked at Nightmare. Damn this is bad, i need a way to break these chains. I wonder if i can use these chains for myself. Well I got nothing to lose, well actually a lot to lose. Solar began to transform the chains into his magic. He then pulled and they broke. He cheered inside and rolled away.
"How?!" Said Nightmare
"Easy Nightmare Moon, I told you I'm not going to let you hurt those I care for. The ponies of Equestria will sleep easy knowing their prince is always watching over them. Your just a nightmare that fillies and colts have when they are young. Now it is time I put this nightmare down, once and for all." Said Solar
"No pony can stop me, I'm Nightmare Moon, queen of the night. I shall take you and return to rule Equestria in an eternal night." Said Nightmare
"Try Nightmare, I will not let you defeat me. It time to put you down once and for all." Said Solar
"Then bring it on." Said Nightmare
Solar looked down at the ends of the chains. he quickly transformed the ends into throwing blade ends. He smirked at Nightmare Moon and launched out the chains. Nightmare blocked them, but one got around her leg. Solar quickly shot the other one and wrapped both her legs and then gave it a snap. She was thrown off her balance and Solar pulled her to the sky and pulled her down to the ground. He then pulled her up and began to spin her around and tossed her into a wall. She crashed into it hard and coughed up blood.
"You may think I'll break, but as long as I have my friends and family close to me, I'll never break under you." Said Solar
"Then I'll have to force you to break." Said Nightmare
She launched her nightmare blade at him. He wasn't able to dodge them all and got cut up a few times. He then smirked at the thought of using his own blade connected to his own sword. He quickly created his Great Fire Blade and connected it to his blade. He then rushed Nightmare Moon. She readied for his attack. Then they once again stood at a stale mate with their swords. Solar and Nightmare Moon kept pushing each other back and forth.
"Why aren't you getting tired?" Asked Nightmare
"Easy, I no longer fear you. You are just a nightmare and nightmares can be defeated." Said Solar
He pushed back Nightmare and threw out his sword on his chains. Nightmare blocked the attack, but watched as Solar launched his sword at her again and again.
"I should thank you for these chains Nightmare Moon, I think I'll call them my Fire Chains." Said Solar
Solar then started to swing his blade in the sky and spun around like a top.
"Chain Spin Strike." Said Solar
He quickly began to spin around and Nightmare raised a shield as Solar moved forward. But his attack was more powerful than her shield and he broke right through it. She raised her sword, but Solar stopped and with a mighty punch shot Nightmare moon into the wall of the arena. He breathed as he slowly looked at Nightmare Moon. He looked to see his chains breaking away. Guess i should end this before I burn out all my magic. He watched as Nightmare Moon came out. Her face has blood running down it. She quickly spat up a lot of it. Her eyes were button like as she stared at him.
"Enough games, time for you to die." She said
She charged her horn and let out a blast of dark energy. Solar raised his sword and began to block it. But the darkness was starting to tear his sword apart. This isn't good, her dark powers will easily over power me.
"If I can't turn you then, I'll make sure you can't help this world no more. I hope your wife can have a life without you." Said Nightmare
Solar could feel his sword breaking apart. But then he heard his wife's words running through his head.
"Solar please fight back, please come back to me my love. Please don't leave me and your child. I need you, we need you. So please Solar come back to us."
He felt the love and warmth of Twilight fill his body. Twilight, I will return to you. Mom I'm on my way home. It time I end this fight once and for all. Solar felt the warmth of energy flow through his body. He quickly felt it charge his magic. He then saw his sword begin to glow brighter and brighter. Soon it blasted out a strong light that stopped Nightmare Moon's attack. She watched as the light started to consume him. Solar began to feel strength and power flow through his body.
"What is this?!" Said Nightmare looking at Solar
"This is the end of you Nightmare Moon. Its time I take my body back and rejoin my family. Your days of haunting those around you is over. Now meet my mighty blade." Said Solar
He gripped his great sword with both hands and raised it to the sky. Nightmare tried to attack him, but there was a strong shield around him. She watched as the light surrounded his blade. It then started to transform into something new. The blade split open and another blade came out, but it split to bring another, which split to bring the fourth and final blade. Then the handle grew to a larger size. The sides spouted three more needles, one going straight and one going down. Then the sun in the middle split two and the moon on the bottom became two. Solar placed it on one shoulder as his hand glowed bright. Nightmare Moon just looked at him scared.
"I see the tables have turned. For your fear Nightmare is your destruction. You fear of being forgotten. But we all have to grow up and face our fears. I think it is time I time I finally learn that lesson. Instead of letting my fears control me, I should control them. So now your time in my head is over, I now banish you with this mighty blade. Go Mega Sun Blade." Said Solar
He ran forward and leaped into the air. He raised the blade over his head as it grew bright. He then felt the power was perfect in it and let it all go.
"Sun Slash." He said
He brought the blade down on Nightmare Moon with extreme power. It easily cut Nightmare Moon into two and then light started to explode from her. The light started to drive all the darkness. Then Solar watched as a flash of light came out him and he covered his eyes. But there was a shock wave from the light that sent Solar flying. He smiled as his nightmare was finally over.

Solar eyes slowly came back to focus as he took a breath. Everypony saw as he began to look around. He began to rub his eyes as he saw that he was home. Twilight was the first to talk to him.
"Solar you back." Said Twilight
"Yeah Twi I'm back." Said Solar
"Oh he is back, we've missed you Solar." Said Twilight giving him a hug
"Oh I missed you to Twilight. Actually I missed you all." Said Solar
The ponies all went around and hugged Solar as he was back in his body. Celestia gave her son an extra big hug. Solar just laughed as his mother let a few tears of joy escape her eyes.
"Welcome back son, I never thought I would ever see you again." Said Celestia
"Please mom, I'm not some nightmare take me down." Said Solar
"Um...Solar, I'm happy to see you for the first time." Said Luna
Solar looked over his aunt. She was a little smaller than him, but what surprised her was when he brought her into a hug. She easily smiled and hugged her back.
"Happy to finally meet you auntie Luna. The names Solar Flare, I guess I should be thanking you for helping me get out of my head." Said Solar
"Please Solar, just Luna. I'm happy you don't hate me for what I did to you." Said Luna
"Please, it wasn't you that attacked me or my mother or my wife or I guess my friends. It was Nightmare Moon. So I guess welcome back to the world of Equestria." Said Solar
"I'm happy to be back and have a nephew to beat to." Said Luna
The ponies laughed as they had a good time. Soon the sun was settling and Celestia lowered it. She then gave her son a book. He looked at it. It was a book to help strengthen the mind.
"I fear I never taught you enough mind training in my time as a mother. Stonewall never was a stallion who believed in such stuff. So I give you this book to help you. Also son, never be afraid to come to me for guidance. I hope you and Twilight enjoy your time here in Ponyville." Said Celestia
"Wait were staying." Said Solar
"Yeah, I made some great friends and this seems like the best place to study the magic of friendship. Plus not a bad place to raise our foal one day." Said Twilight
"You know I was thinking then same thing." Said Solar
"Then I'm glad you two agree, now I and Luna will be leaving. Please don't be a stranger Solar, your always welcome around the castle." Said Celestia
"Thanks mom and see you around some time, you two Luna." Said Solar hugging them both.
"Goodbye for now Solar, but I think we will have to talk some time." Said Luna
"Sure thing Luna, any time." Said Solar
The two soon teleported away. Rarity whispered something into Twilight's ear. She smiled and hugged her friend. Soon they all left, leaving just Solar, Twilight and Spike. Spike said his goodnight's and gave his brother and fist bump and bro hug. Solar was now alone with Twilight. Solar placed the book on a table. He turned around to be meet with a loving kiss from Twilight. He saw her eyes were glazed with bedroom. She whispered her plan into Solar's ear, he began to blush. She took his hand and led him to their room. Twilight closed the door and placed the soundproofing spell up. For everything was finally back the way it should be and Twilight couldn't let go of a moment like this one. Well neither could Solar.
Author's Note
Hooray for Solar, he is back to normal. Well somewhat, like I said, he will have some mental damage, but that will be mentioned later. So I'm sorry for those who didn't like the end of chapter 19. But I kind of wanted it that way. So what other way to bring you back than a cool battle with Nightmare Moon and Solar. Well and Solar bringing out a few new attacks and a new mega ability, but you won't be seeing Mega Sun Blade and the Sun Slash attack for a while. But his Fire Chains andChain Spin Strike will be used more often. So I do hope you enjoy the ending for this chapter. I hope it makes up for the last chapter. But I would like to say this warning. The story will go dark at certain times, I think I might make a whole season dark, but that is much later in. Now just enjoy this happy moment and hopefully see my lies reach 100!
So like I always say: comment, share, like, tell and follow. See you all next time on Solar Son. Have a happy day out there in internet land.
