ESF: Galaxy & Nightmare
Chapter 9: The Final Battle
Previous ChapterNext ChapterNightmare Moon laughed, getting accustomed to being back from the dead. She looked at Nightmare. Nightmare stared at her in awe. "I take it you are the one who resurrected me?" She asked. Nightmare nodded sheepishly. "Well, step up, and claim your award." Nightmare Moon told him in a seductive manner. Nightmare stepped up. Nightmare Moon looked at their height differences. "This will not do." She groaned as she changed her form. She changed into a dark blue alicorn with blue eyes, a black mane and tail, and she kept her cutie mark. She smirked. "Much better." She said. I got up, and growled.
"Nightmare Moon, this time, you will be gone for good." I told her. She laughed, as did Nightmare. "What's so funny, huh, Comet?" I asked him. He froze in shock. Crystal, Crimson, and my friends all gasped. I nodded. "Yes. Nightmare isn't really my inner demon. He's actually my twin brother Comet. Isn't that right, Comet?" I asked. Nightmare, or Comet, sighed.
"You figured it out. I'm impressed. Tell me, brother, how did you ever figure it out?" He asked me. I smirked.
"Simple. We both look alike and wear similar styles of clothing, an example being our stetsons." I told Comet. Nightmare Moon chuckled. Then, Comet opened his mouth, revealing two five inch sharp fangs. He chuckled as he glanced at Crystal, who was helping Mocha. "No." I gasped. Comet charged. "Crystal, watch out!" I yelled as I pushed her out of the way, Comet's fangs sinking into my neck. I winced in pain and I soon begun to feel weak. As Comet retreated back to Nightmare Moon, I fell to the floor, unconscious and barely breathing.
"No. No! NO!!!!" Crystal shrieked as she ran towards me. "Guys! Get Comet while I take care of my husband!" She told everypony. Feline snarled.
"Hey! Nopony does that to my friend!" She yelled as she and Spellbound both charged, followed by Quillton and Sunset. Quillton punched and kicked Comet, while Sunset and Nightmare Moon were locked in magic combat. Crystal had tears running down her face, along with Mocha. Valerium was helping Joy, Thunderbolt, and Bubbles deal with a few Nightmare Soldiers. Mocha glared at Comet, who chuckled.
"You monster!" She shouted. "What could you possibly have to gain by almost killing your own brother?! What kind of sibling does that?!" She said in a motherly tone. Valerium nodded his head. Comet glanced at me, then Nightmare Moon, then the soldiers. His eyes lit up, the red draining out of them and turning back to green, his cutie mark reverting to a comet. He gasped and his fangs vanished.
"Oh, no. No! What have I done? What have I done?!" Comet asked himself. Quillton punched a soldier.
"Now's not the time for self-punishment, dearie! We could use a little assistance here!" He told Comet. Comet flew over to Quillton and punched a few Nightmare Soldiers. Nightmare Moon gasped.
"Just what are you doing, Nightmare?!" She demanded. Comet looked at her seriously.
"My name.....is Comet Nebula." He said. Nightmare Moon gasped and growled, only to be surrounded by Tacitus, Pony Pint, Crimson, Valerium, and Joy. Crystal was still crying. "Crystal! He's not dead!" Comet told her. "You need to give him a reason to live!" He explained.
"Give Galaxy a reason to live? I should be reason enough!!" She protested, looking at me. "Oh, Galaxy." She hugged my unconscious body. "Get up." She whispered in my ear. "Get up, please." She pleaded. "Galaxy, you're going to be a father." She told me. My eyes opened. She gasped as I stood up, looking at her in the eyes. Everypony else gasped.
"I'm going to be...a father?" I asked her. Crystal nodded. I kissed her gently. "I'm not going anywhere." I smiled. I saw my stetson on the floor. "Let's do this." I told Comet as I put my stetson back on with a determined look. My brother nodded.
"Yeah, Galaxy. Let's beat Nightmare Moon once and for all!" He agreed.
"Charge!!!!" Me and Comet both shouted as we charged at Nightmare Moon. She fired a magic blast at us, which we dodged easily.
"Go Galaxy and Comet!" Mocha shouted. She then looked at everypony else. "Alright everypony, we need to clear out of here!" She told them. Feline nodded.
"Mocha's right! This way, everypony!" She called. Paradise followed her, then Breeze, then Joy, then Pony Pint, Valerium, Spellbound, Crimson, Quillton, Sunset, Mocha, Thunderbolt and Bubbles, followed by Crystal. Me and Comet stayed behind to deal with Nightmare Moon. Crystal looked back, and charged.
"Crystal! Wait!" Mocha shouted. Crystal plowed right into Nightmare Moon, sending her flying into a wall. Nightmare Moon coughed. She was bruised and she wiped blood away from her lower lip. She smirked.
"A valiant try, but this is your final hour." She said. Crystal gasped as Nightmare Moon opened up a portal to Tartarus. "Enjoy Hell, bitch." She cackled. Crystal whimpered as the gravitational pull dragged her closer. Mocha gasped. Quillton held her back.
"No. Galaxy and Comet have to do this." He told her. I got up off the floor and growled.
"Hey, Nightmare Moon!" I called, flying towards her. She yelped as I plucked her off the ground and flew towards the portal. She gasped and looked up at me.
"Are you insane!" She shrieked. I looked at her seriously.
"No pony calls my wife a bitch." I told her. Nightmare Moon whimpered, looking up at me again.
"Galaxy! Please! I didn't mean it! Just put me down!" She pleaded.
"I'll give you two options." I told her. "Either I drop you and you fall....." I started. Nightmare Moon whimpered, shaking her head. "Or, you free yourself and run, and if you do, know there will be nowhere to hide." I told her. She struggled from my grasp, her wings not working as she escaped.
"Galaxy, please!" Nightmare Moon cried. I turned away, a serious look in my eyes.
"Nightmare Moon, if you dare to have dreams of power....." I started as she fell, screaming. "You will be consumed by them." I said as she fell through the portal, letting out a cry of fear as she did, landing in an iron cage. Comet stared at me in awe. I flew down to my friends and Crystal, who hugged me tightly.
"She's gone." Mocha gasped in awe. Then, when she saw Comet walk up, she snarled and lunged for him, only to be held back by Valerium. "Lemme at him! He tried to kill Soul!" She shouted. Quillton walked up.
"Comet, I speak for all of us when I say....." Quillton took a deep breath. "What the actual flying fuck were you thinking?!!!" He shouted. Comet sighed.
"I can understand why you don't trust me. I get it. However, when I saw Galaxy on the floor in the helpless state he was in, I realized that hurting other ponies, well, that can change you emotionally. I never meant to hurt you all, and I'm truthfully very sorry if I did." He apologized. "Please, could you all possibly forgive me?" Comet asked. Mocha was freed of Valerium's hold and walked up to Comet. She raised her hoof like she was about to punch him, then, she extended it. Comet gasped.
"Holding grudges isn't the way to make friends." She smiled. "I know that. Joy even went through this, and she's now a good friend of mine." She said. Joy nodded. "So, Comet, was it?" Mocha asked. Comet nodded. "Welcome to the herd." She smiled. I smiled as well, punching my brother in the shoulder.
"Just make sure nothing like this happens again, OK, Comet?" I asked him, laughing. He nodded, and soon, everypony laughed.
"Wait!!!!" Paradise interrupted. "How did you become Nightmare in the first place?" She asked. Comet thought for a moment.
"Huh. Must've been all the anger and greed I held in that made me a monster." He guessed, shrugging. Soon, the 16 of us all headed back to Ponyville for a well deserved relaxation. Crystal and I flew home, smiling. Mocha kissed her coltfriend's muzzle gently and giggled as we all headed home.
