The logs of a Radio Co-Host
Nightmare Radio
Previous ChapterNext ChapterWhat i'm about to write down is what I could consider the worst time of my life. I had hit the bottom of the barrel and there was no means of going through it. What I can say is the worst three days of my life.
It started out smoothly, Princess Luna and Princess Molestia had decided to change places for the night and act as each other. It was cute seeing Luna try to be the sex fiend that Molly is and watching Molly try to play innocent was just plain funny. Gonzo, Lunar Flourish, Steve, Sharpwing, Lesbee, Amaretto and I were watching and adding our witty commentary as usual. Gonzo was struggling to read the news as everyone would be louder than the poor guy. I was smokin and eating my pizza rolls and Amaretto was being well Amaretto. Sharpwing I couldn't tell ya what he was doin mainly because a lot of the stuff he does confuses me but hey he's cool so I let it slide. Steve and Lesbee were tending to Lesbees pet Boo Boo Keys and Flourish was reading.
Things were fine, like legit fine....until the 40 minute mark of the stream rolled around. Ana anonymous question asked about eclipses and Luna mentions that there was an eclipse occurring, we all look out the window to see a beautiful sight, the moon moving in front of the sun. Afterwards Luna starts convulsing, moaning and squirming in her seat. The sound of Luna's suffering quickly changed to darkened and malicious laughter. In her seat was not Luna......but Nightmare Moon.
I was stunned, Nightmare called for the bumpers to play and muted the show. She called in guards to take Molly to the dungeon and had us all shackled to the table. She then drew a whip out from under the table and began the show again by whipping us. Constant whipping and pain to those that would defy her. However the only ones that didn't give in where Sharpwing and I, not sure what that says about the work staff but I digress. Nearing the end of the stream I spit in Nightmare Moons face.....she didn't take it lightly. She began violently and quickly whipping me as hard as she could before Sharpwing got in the way of her.
As the stream closed Sharp and I were moved to the dungeon, we were moved to different rooms as to keep communication with each other to a minimum and I assume she wanted us to hear our screams of pain. The room I was in was dark, cobblestone walls with hooks and chains stuck to them. The only thing that was different was a massive barred window with the eclipse in plain view, a sort of insult to anyone that went against Moon I assume. In the distance I could hear the faint sounds of Molly's moans(Pain or pleasure you could never tell with her), animal growls and Sharpwing cursing at the top of his lungs.
My mind raced, thinking about everything and everyone. I was worried about everyone sure but I was more concerned about Vlad and Lucker, they weren't at the studio and no one has seen them since. Hell Nightmare showed a bit of fear knowing Vlad wasn't around so she sent her best hunters after him. But that left Lucker, the simple human with lil to no means of defending himself from Nightmare Moon's forces. I hope they're both ok.....
Throughout the hours of my imprisonment I would be visited by Nightmare Moon looking to make me squeal and call her my queen. I was too proud to actually call her that because if it meant drawing the attention of the demon and keeping her from hurting my friends then it was worth every hit I took.
Whipping, beating and stabbing, that was most of my torture while Nightmare did things to Sharp eve I couldn't explain. She dubbed us her "Toys" and tried to find new ways to break us. If we suffered too much pain to the point where we'd grow numb to it she would heal us then proceed to do it again.
After some time Sharp and I were moved from the dungeon back to the recording room so we could do "Nightmare Radio" along with some of the peeps that chose to side with her. Mademe Velvet a gypsy that claims to be neutral was there because Amaretto had to check on Lucky Charm because he drove into a pole and was badly injured. I doubted her neutrality because she gave Nightmare cat o' nine tails and knives to aid in torturing Sharp and I on the radio, hell she even rubbed salt in my wounds. Yeah we were on live so anyone listening would know what happens to ponies that defy her rule.
Granted we had ponies in the chat demanding Nightmare let everyone go but that was kinda sad.
The stream ended and once again moved to the dungeon. Things went a lil different this time however, Sharpwing attacked Nightmare Moon. While there epic battle raged on I saw that my cage was made of cardboard.....yeah you heard right, turns out Button was making a weird kink cage and the guards thought it was a real cage. So easily I managed to break out.
I snuck through the castle while Nightmare and the guards were distracted by Sharp and made my way ponyville. My sore body made it difficult to move around but I made it to my destination, the ponyville hospital. My plan was to hide in Lucky Charms room until I could figure out a plan on how to defeat Nightmare Moon.
Since Molly gave me access to the stream channel I was able to start streaming in my phone in hopes the ponies in the chat could help me come up with the plan.
I opened the door to Lucky's room and found myself staring down the barrel of a revolver.
"Freeze! Or you'll get one right between the eyes"
"Don't shoot I am to- Vlad?"
"Kiba?"
"Wait Kiba's here?"
"Lucker! Vlad! You guys are ok!"
"Eh what's goin on?"
It was amazing to see them again, this meant there was a chance that we could take Moon on. My attention was however drawn to the floating man near Lucky Charm, giving him a bottle of whisky.
"Well ain't this a happy lil reunion you got here."
"Who the hell is this guy? And why does he look like a leprechaun?"
"I'm a Luckerpine you weed faced git. If i'm caught I can grant any wish in the world however my wishes cannot be undone unless you catch another wish granting diety."
"Riiiiiiight."
Introductions out of the way we still needed to worry about a plan. None of us were good at strategy so we needed some time to think, time which we didn't actually have.
As it turns out Lucker went into the Everfree and got lost, he found the Luckerpines shrine and caught the bastard. Then Vlad came in to rescue Lucker and also caught the Luckerpine. But sadly they had to come home to the hell that was Nightmares reign.
Time went on as we tried to come up with a plan, we tried to convince Vlad to use the wish to free Luna from Nightmare Moon and stop the bitch but his affection for the demon was too strong so we couldn't. We eventually came up with a plan to head to Complex 9 and hope to any being that Vlads butler/teacher Mastiff was still there. But sadly....plans don't always work out.
"Alright it's time to head to the complex, grab what you need and-"
"Where oh where are my toys?"
In the room came Nightmare Moon with Steve holding Lunar FLourish on a leash. They had found us.
"Oh fuck!"
"Vlad use the wish! Do it!"
"I-I can't...."
"Wow Vlady boy, you're willing to let the whole world and your friends suffer cause of a crush eh? That's pretty sad."
"Take them outside, I want Lucker and Vlad to see what happens when you defy me."
We were pushed outside into the main plaza of Ponyville. Lucker decided to be "Smart" and attack Nightmare Moon, which had him stabbed in the leg. She forced me infront of everyone and began walking towards me.
"Kiba Kush~"
"LEAVE HIM ALONE!"
"Get away from him!"
"Nononononononononononono"
"Say it, say i'm your queen."
"Never!"
"Alright then, you see these pliers Kiba? Open up."
She used her magic to force my mouth open and used the pliers to violently rip two of my teeth out of my mouth. And then tossed me aside like a used toy. That's what we were to her.....just toys for her amusement.
"Kiba you alright?"
"Noooo...."
"You'll pay for that Nightmare!"
"Will I? And what are you going to do Vlad? Fight the one you love oh so much? I doubt it. The luckerpine was right you're pathetic."
We were teleported to the castle, Vlad was forced unto the ground. Nightmare began attacking him furiously never letting up and never slowing down. By the time she was done he had already died, got him in the heart. She began to turn to Lucker when a blast of light came from the window colliding to the side of Nightmare. In through the window entered Sharpwing proud then sad only to find out his attack missed and thus was immediately re-captured by Nightmare.
"Well that ended terribly."
"Atleast you tired, unlike Vlad."
"You know he's dead right?"
"Oh yeah I know, he just oh you know let her live!"
"Wait so Vlad could have ended this whole thing?"
"Oh yes he could, in fact I could have been the one to do it. By the way Sharpwing i'm a Luckerpine, I grant wishes to those who catch me and boy can I-""
The luckerpine froze as he noticed something was holding onto his leg. He turned to see Nightmare holding on to him.
"Well it seems I have caught you Mr. Luckerpine."
"Sadly it seems you did there Moon. What's your wish?"
"Wish for you to fade out of existence?"
"I like that idea."
"I second that."
"Oh no no no my dear toys I have a better wish, now Luckerpine I wish to be immortal."
"Done!"
A magic light surrounded Nightmare Moon, then out of nowhere it just dropped to the ground.
"What is happening? I demand answers!"
"I give ponies what they ask for, not what they wanted. You were already immortal and boom you just wasted the one wish you get from me! Congratulations you moon butted twit!"
"You've got to be fucking kidding me....."
Lucker, Sharpwing and I began laughing hysterically. Of all the things she could wish for, she didn't realise that immortality and invulnerability were two different things. Which to this day still makes me laugh my ass off.
After a good minute of laughing a wave of blue magic struck all of us.
"You think this is funny? I'm going to make all three of your lives a living hell and when you inevitably die due to my brutal torture methods i'm going to resurrect you and proceed to do it again!"
"Worth it!"
"Totally!"
"Couldn't agree more!"
"Well Miss Moon you're gonna have four to play with cause Vlady boy it's time to get up."
The Luckerpine waved his hand over Vlads corpse, soon after Vlad sprung back to life. So we were back to four on the chopping block and Nightmare wanted something else.
"I need relief after this, Lucky Charm your mine!"
"Wait, no! I don't want this! I want my french vixen!"
"Too bad you're pleasing the queen now bitch~"
She carried him away into another room of the castle, leaving the four of us shackled to the ground and waiting on her return. We could hear Lucky Charms cries in the distance.
"Now what? We're gonna get tortured for the rest of our existence and then some."
"We have a plan, Kiba use your magic to grab the phone on the counter there and give it to Vlad."
"No idea what you could possibly be planning but alright."
With a wave of my horn and the green aura surrounding it I grabbed the phone and handed it to Vlad. Vlad proceeded to flip through the contacts and hit the call button. Was around this time that the sounds of Nightmare and Lucky were getting louder. The phone rung until a voice could be heard.
"Hello? Zis is ze Moulin Hooves may I help you?"
"Hey Amaretto listen to what Nightmare moonbutt is doing."
Vlad tossed the phone closest to where the sound of Nightmare and Lucky nearly finishing what they were doing.
"OH HELL NO, ZAT BITCH IS GOING DOWN!"
"Go to my complex Amaretto, it's unlocked and I got stuff you can use there."
"Zis bitch is toast!"
The phone went quiet.
"That's your plan? A pissed Amaretto? The hell can she do?"
"Buy us time until we can figure out a way to escape perhaps."
"Poor Oregano."
"But we need to hold out until she gets here so everyone be strong."
"Alright."
"Got it."
"Like I have a choice."
After I said that crying could be heard in the distance as the sound of metallic hooves drew closer. In the room came Nightmare Moon with an axe, knife, saw and bladed whip.
"Alright so with relief I can handle this situation better, now then who laughed? Be honest with me."
"I did."
"Same here."
"Laughing at you is fun, just as much as spitting in your-"
As I said that Nightmare lashed the whip at me, hitting my left flank. I screamed the second loudest I ever screamed in my life.
"If I was alive at the time I would have laughed too."
"Oh yes that reminds me, time to put this bad dog to sleep, permanently!"
Nightmare drove the knife right into Vlads chest near where his heart would be and began cutting. His screams of pain echoed throughout the room bringing a haunting feeling of despair and and anguish. She began tearing at his body until his heart was visible and vary slowly started cutting the veins holding it in place.
"So Vlad did you know that if you lose your heart the brain still has four minutes of oxygen and blood running through it? That means we still have 3 minutes to play little doggy."
"Oh we'll play alright!"
Vlad bursted from the floor breaking his chains.
"What's going on here? I demand to know!"
"Remember when when I was possessed and we fought my grandfather? I got his ability to live without my heart! And removing the heart nulls emotion too so that means i'm not against ending your reign right here, right NOW"
Vlad ran at Moon and a brawl begun yet sad to say it didn't last long. After a few minutes Vlad was down again yet Nightmare Moon still stood.
"A feeble attempt indeed, I think a punishment is in order. Oh Kiba Kush~"
She called to me as she picked up the axe she brought, she began walking towards me.
"Wait no! Get away from me you monster!"
"Leave him alone! I'm the one you want not him!"
"Tell me Kiba, tell me i'm your queen and i'll leave you alone."
"You know that will never happen!"
"Alright then instead of telling me that, tell me how it feels to lose a limb!"
Nightmare Moon brought the axe down on my left hind leg and lobbed it off.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
She picked up the leg and tossed it across the room with me crying on the floor.Everyone was in shock, no remarks, no jokes just pure silence as Moon began cleaning the axe. Vlads ears perked up then he began to speak.
"Hey Moon you think you've won?"
"Why yes I do Vlad, I rule everything!"
"Well you made a grave mistake Nightmare, one Molly made and by god was she lucky she was friends with her."
I then realized what he was talking about, he heard her coming.
"What do you mean?"
"Kiba you think you're ok enough to explain to her?"
"I got this-ah- tell me Nightmare what happens when you have sex? You enjoy it right?"
"Yes, what are you getting at?"
"What happens when-ah- you have sex with a married stallion? You wind up pissing off the spouse. Oh and might-ow- I mention that since you-aaahhhh- raped poor Lucky Charm you pissed off the mare with the hottest temper in all the kingdom!"
The door bursted open revealing a heavily armed Amaretto. Literally armed to the teeth and out for nightmare blood.
"YOU STEPPED IN IT NOW NIGHTMARE! YOU MESSED WITH ZE WRONG MARRIED MARE, I'M ZE ELEMENTS OF HARMONY NOW BITCH!"
"Get away from me you-AH"
Amaretto jumped at Nightmare and began viciously beating her down, with Moon weakened by her fight with Vlad so Amaretto had less of a challenge. As Amaretto was doing this the Luckerpine appeared and begun freeing us from the shackles that held us down. Sharpwing ran to the barracks and Vlad tended to my wounds.
The dust settled and the castle was damn near demolished. Entire chunks of the castle were missing and the stained windows were shattered. On the floor near a hyperventilating Amaretto laid a cowering Princess Luna, I to the best of my ability ran to her. Vlad and I lifted her up as she was crying, saying "No more" over and over.
"Princess please it's us Kiba Kush and Vlad."
"Kiba Kush! Vlad!"
She began hugging us closely, crying as she did. Her tears landing on the ground where Nightmare Moon's helmet stood motionless and fragile. I took my right fore hoof and brought it down on the helmet, breaking it and causing it to shatter. Luna released us from the hug and got up. She began freaking out when she saw that my left back leg was missing and as she was freaking out I fell over. A hand reached out to lift me up.
"Here ya go lad, no need to be on the ground after a victory like that!"
I was listed off the ground and was about to free my hoof until the Luckerpine stopped me.
"Well my boy it seems ya caught me, what be your wish? I assume to get your leg back so here ya go!"
My rear left leg began re-attaching itself to my body and shortly after I had my leg back good as new! Luna walked up to the Luckerpine and grabbed his arm.
"Mr. Luckerpine, I have you in my hooves so does this mean I get a wish?"
"Why indeed it does your highness, what can I do for you my dear?"
"Bring Nightmare Moon in front of me, I wish to speak with her."
"Excuse me? I don't usually question wishes but may I ask why?"
"I want to understand her, I want to know why she exists."
"Alrighty then, everyone be on your guard cause anything could happen."
With a wave of the Luckerpines hand Nightmare Moon wrapped in ethereal chains appeared in front of everyone. She was growling violently spewing threats and hateful words. That is until Luna walked up to her.
"So you're the one that was living in my mind for all this time."
"And you're the sad little girl that created me."
"I don't understand you, what you are and why I created you. I was hoping you could help me understand you."
"What's there to understand? I'm your anger and jealousy personified. You're wasting your time Luna."
As soon as she said that her body went staticy for a second.
"What was that? What's happening?"
"I can explain, your current body can't exist in this world so you're going to fade out of existence. So I guess it's time we can finally say that this is the end of a nightmare."
"NO I DON'T WANT TO FADE!"
Nightmare was freaking out as the static happened more and more often. To be honest I kinda felt bad for her, only ever having hate and jealousy in her life limited the possibility she had if she were alive and now she's going to cease to exist. I can tell Luna was upset about the idea too cause she started tearing up.
"No I won't let you fade! You were my hate and now i'm going to change that!"
"what can we do? We can't do anything about it."
"There's got to be something. Luckerpine what are the possibilities?"
"Well there are a few things, 1. You can allow her to keep existing in your mind but she will be no different then she's been, 2. Make her physical but there is a great chance she could kill all of you if that happens or 3. Put her in another pony. Either way things won't really be different."
Then Amaretto bursted to the scene and ran right up to the Luckerpine.
"I have an idea. why not turn her into a filly?"
"WHAT?"
"Then not only will she be physical but she will also not have any of her powerful magic."
"Oooooh that idea is perfect!"
"And we can teach her how to be a normal pony! Oh joyous day!"
With a wave of the Luckerpines hands Nightmare Moon shrunk to the size of a filly, the static ended ceased and she was normal child alicorn. To say she hated the change is like saying that grass is green and the sky is blue. But it was the best thing we could come up with. Soon after the sun begun to rise with Molly walking up to us.
"PRINCESS!" Everyone screamed as she made her way to us. We looked around to see that most of the castle was in fact destroyed and that bits were still coming down. I was crushed by the tub and a falling pillar, why me? No idea. Vlad offered us rooms at the complex and the Luckerpine rebuilds the castle with the agreement that the Luckerpine can put his shrine in the castle.
After we made it to the complex we began streaming Radio Molly once again and things seemed fine.
Update:
So it's been a few weeks since then and everyone has made a full recovery. Molly is still walking funny but her bruising healed, Lucker has opened his own library with Lunar FLourish, Vlad and Sharp have been working on ways of dealing with nightmares incase something similar happened and I have completely healed. I haven't had decent sleep in a while but everything should be fine, oh and my dispensary is rebuilt to! Made of fire marble so it's burn resistant.
I'm just glad that hell is over and it's a brand new day.
