After leaving the hospital Luna took to the sky and flew back towards Canterlot. Inside of her she felt a great amount of sadness and despair. She felt as though it was her fault for Celestia dying and blamed herself for not being quicker or stronger. Along with the sadness and despair though, there was also a lot of anger, anger towards the vampony who killed her sister, Twilight Sparkle.

When she landed in Canterlot she was crying angrily which concerned the guards. One of them asked, "Princess Luna, what is wrong? Are yo ok?"

Another guard asked, "Where is Princess Celestia? Did she decide to stay in Ponyville?"

Luna cried, "Just leave me be. I don't feel like talking to anypony right now!"

The guards were very concerned over not just Luna's behavior, but also the fact that Celestia did not return home with her. Despite this though, they knew that with what Luna said, that it would be best to give her the space she desired.

The first place she headed to when she got home was the library. She figured that if she looked in there, she could perhaps find a way to lift the spell off of an Alicorn vampony. She headed to the back of the legendary creatures section and began to look. At first she was searching through all the books calmly but soon she became more frantic and angry as none of the books mentioned anything about Alicorn vamponies.

She screamed, "Ugh, why isn't there any information about Alicorn vamponies?"

Then it hit her. She realized that there wouldn't be any information because not only are vamponies only considered to be legendary rather actual creatures, that since Alicorns are so rare that nopony would have ever even thought such a vampony would exist so she would have to figure something out on her own.

She knew of the legend of killing a vampony involving driving a wooden stake through its heart. She then realized that she could not simply drive a wooden stake through Twilight's heart given the strength of her protection bubble. She sighed, "Ugh, how am I supposed to kill her if I can't even penetrate her bubble."

It soon hit her though. She realized that she would have two choices. She would either have to disable her magic using her own magic or she would have to get into a difficult physical fight and break off her horn. Either way though, she knew it would be difficult. She said to herself, "Well tomorrow night, I shall put an end to this. Tomorrow night will be the night I avenge my sister's death."


For the remainder of that night Luna was sad, angry and restless. Soon though it would come time for her to lower the moon and raise the sun. When this time arrived she again began to cry more loudly knowing that she would be responsible for handling both the sun and moon from now on.

After doing her royal duties, she headed to the dining hall for breakfast. Since she did not seem quite as distraught as she did last night, one of the guards decided to approach her. He asked, "Your Majesty, what happened last night? What happened to Princess Celestia?"

While Luna had absolutely no desire to talk with the guard, especially about this, she decided she would just tell him what happened so that they would stop asking her. She replied, "Last night my sister and I went to Ponyville to try and remove the vampony from Fluttershy and Twilight." She began to cry angrily, "And Twilight attacked and killed my sister."

The guard gasped, "What? Twilight killed Celestia? How could she kill Celestia?"

Luna was not impressed with this question but again decided to placate him and answer. She yelled, "She's a vampony with powerful magic. She pounced on her before she could put a protective bubble around Celestia and herself and drained enough blood from her that she couldn't survive."

The guard asked, "But what about you? Why didn't you stop her?"

The guard's words infuriated Luna. She stood tall, spread her wings wide and with her eyes glowing white she screamed, "How dare you accuse of us of not trying to stop her. We tried our hardest but her magic is stronger since she is a vampony." She then slammed her hoof into the floor and continued, "And by the time we were able to break her protection bubble, it was too late. Our sister was on the brink of death and we could not save her."

The guard said, "But...."

Luna screamed, "Just leave us alone before we do something we might regret!"

After finishing her conversation with the guard, Luna headed to her sleeping chambers knowing that she would need plenty of rest if she were to take on not just one, but two vamponies that night. As she laid down she said to herself, "I hope I can save Fluttershy tonight." Her voice became more angry as she continued, "But for killing my sister, I shall show Twilight no mercy. She will pay for her crimes."
