----The Castle----

Luna looked to her sister as she levitated up a large piece of framework into place for the repairs. They had gotten about half of it done, but Celestia had to step aside, as more and more ponies came asking questions. More than a few of them left in tears at the end of the explanation, as Celestia looked more and more downtrodden with each one.

Luna glanced over to where her sisters room was, and noted the floating White Mask in the window, shed could faintly feel the magic emanating from it, so similar to her friend, yet at the same time, it was so.. angry. She could feel the warm magic from before burning like her sisters own magic. It was watching the destruction that had be brought by letting Majora do what it did. It probably felt responsible for the damage. She would have to talk to it soon, lest its magic be felt from other, more magic sensitive ponies.

"I'm sorry, Luna." Her thoughts were interrupted by Celestia's voice, as she had walked over while Luna was looking to the tower.

"What are you sorry for?" Luna asked as she waved her hands as they glowed with her magic, flowing nails into needed spots and pushing them in.

"I haven't been helping." Was all Celestia said. Luna scoffed lightly at her words. She stopped channeling magic to turn to her sister.

"You've been telling ponies grave news, and helping them understand why it happened. If that's not helping, then neither is fixing the castle." Luna glared childishly at her sister. She watched as a small smile curled on Celestia's lips.

"Thanks Lulu.." She whispered in her ear as she drew her sister in for a hug. The two stayed in that position for a few minutes, before Celestia broke the hug, mouth tugged into a smirk.

"I can take over for now, why not go see what our new Elvish friend wants? I'm sure you've noticed his power spiking, like he's trying to gain our attention." Luna looked at her sister in confusion, the looked to the tower. She simply nodded, as she flew off to her sisters room. Behind her, Celestia's smile faded, and she looked to the sun as it was slowly sinking through the sky. Her lips curled downwards into a slight snarl, as she thought about everything that has happened.

As Luna opened the door to her sisters room she immediately felt the magic she had been sensing dissipate. she looked to the window, as she closed the door, and let out a sigh.

"You need to be a bit more discrete, if somepony feels your magic, and discovers you before we set things right, then you might as well ask for ponykind to hate you." She said, exasperatedly. She waited for an answer. The mask just float there, un-moving for almost a full two minutes. Just as Luna was about to question it further, it turned around.

"I am sorry. As I said yesterday, I was made from the Magic and Hatred of your friend, I do not know was other emotions are, nor can I say I've ever experienced them." It turned to the window, looking out at the partially rebuilt castle tower. "Yet looking at the destruction my lack of action resulted in.. It fills me with a feeling of dread. Its.. Hard to describe."Luna looked at it with steely eyes.

"Your sad that you caused the deaths of so many ponies." She stated flatly.

"Sadness.. Such things make me wish I was still whole.." It muttered. Luna's eyebrow rose.

"Whole? What do you mean?" Luna asked, nervous of the response. The Mask turned back to her.

"Majora realized it was lacking what made it so strong. So it took it. It reached inside of us, and ripped out all of our Insanity. As you should guess, removing one emotion can lead to quite a few problems. With Logic as the base emotion, it tore us apart on the inside, as it couldn't rationalize what was going on. In a last ditch attempt to save at least a fragment of ourselves from fading away to nothing, we used Knowledge as a base for us breaking off our understanding of Magic, and our Hatred for everything and split 'us' into me. As of now, the rest remains inside you, locked away so it cant do more harm. Without Insanity to guide the other emotions through it, we cannot exist in this world full of magic. It is essential that we regain what was lost, so we can become one being." At this it turned around to look outside, but this time it was focusing on the slowly rising moon.

"You sound as if your in a rush." Luna said, as she sat on the bed, thinking over what she just heard.

"As of right now, Insanity is using it's new hosts as a power source, both Majora and Nightmare will feed it. My power comes from anger, as such, just being near your sister lets me gain powers." This got Luna to perk up.

"What do you me-" Luna was interrupted.

"So you can tell then?" The cold voice of Celestia came from the door. Both occupants turned to see Celestia leaning on the doorway with her arms crossed under her chest.

"Indeed, your anger at Majora is almost tangible. But regrettably, so is your anger aimed at my previous form, both these will help me fight Majora." Celestia flinched at the second half of the Mask's statement, but regained her fiery look quickly.

"Those Two are the reason Fourteen pony lives were lost today. They will pay." Celestia growled out. The Mask floated over to her and stopped right in front of her face.

"If we combine our energies together we can become stronger than Majora ever could. My predecessor could have done the same with Luna, yet he chose not to. He didn't even bring it up, due to Logic disagreeing with Insanity and Instinct." It said, floating gently towards Celestia's hands.

Luna looked shocked, the Mask was basically saying that her sister would help it beat Majora, the very being that caused a crater with a single attack. How strong could this Magic be?

"You can't sister! What if Majora and Nightmare are expecting you to show up? We have to think this through-" Luna was interrupted as her sister reached forward to grab the mask. As soon as she grabbed it, they all felt a wave of magic wash over them. But it was coming from outside. Eyes widening in shock they all rushed to the window.

Outside the air had a red-Orange hue to it, as if the sky itself was on fire. Looking further out, they clearly saw the figure of Nightmare standing on a mountaintop, arms raised in the air.

"We are wasting time! Do you not see what is happening?!" The Mask sounded frantic. "Up!!" It called. Confused, the Two sisters looked up, and both of their jaws fell due to what they saw.

The moon.

The moon was far too close to the planet, it only looked to be a few hundred miles away at the most, and closing fast.

"Luna?!" Celestia called out, as she looked to her sister. Luna's horn was already aglow, burning a bright blue. A drop of sweat ran down her neck, as her eyes snapped open.

"I cant control it! I can hold it still, but even that takes too much concentration!" Luna exclaimed, voice laced with fear.

"We must go, now! The longer we wait the more the moon feeds Majora strength!" The Mask said, forcing Celestia's hand towards the window. The jerking motion snapped her out of her stupor, as she snarled at the moon. Her eyes darted to Nightmare's position. In a flash of Golden light, she was gone.

"Wait!" Luna called. She looked to the moon, then to Nightmare, a determined look came across her face, as she relinquished her hold on the moon, and quickly teleported to where she felt her sister. In a flash of navy blue magic, she appeared and re-locked her magic with that of the moon's. The moon's motion was paused again, but this time, instead of stopping fully, it was still inching its way down. From its position and speed, Luna figured the moon would hit the ground in under Twelve minutes. She looked to her sister, and noted that they were talking.

"You must hurry.." She muttered.

Celestia glared at Nightmare, the horn atop her head glowed a vicious Golden Yellow. Nightmare, adorned with Majora's mask, simply chuckled.

"Oh? And what do you intend to do, dear sister?" The combination of both Nightmare's and Majora's voices called out mockingly. Celestia simply stared, as she studied the magic they were flowing out, it was indeed a decent margin stronger than the last time she felt it. She pulled her arms from behind her back, holding the Mask by the eyeholes, the nose facing her palm.

"This." She stated, as she placed the Mask over her face, instantly the sound of breaking bones came from the mask. The sound spread through Celestia's body, as she cried out in surprise pain. A white light starting to shine through her skin, as the bone breaking sounds got even louder, the pain causing Celestia to cry out louder, then with a final scream she flipped her head towards the sky, eyes bloodshot, and the mouth of the mask itself open as if it was screaming for her. In a burst of White light, a cloud of dust rose around her.

As the dust settled revealing Celestia, Luna gasped, and Majora cried out in anger. In her place stood an Elvish woman, wearing a Blue tunic. Wearing a dark Blue undershirt, stockings, and gloves, while the boots she was wearing were brown. On her back was a sword unlike any other. A blade as long as her own body, with a handle clearly meant for Two hands. The blade itself was Helix Edged, meaning the blade started from the handle and split off into two smaller pieces of metal that crossed once midway and met at the end in a sharp point.

Her face resembled the Mask, the only different being the gender. Majora was the first to talk.

"Even in another world, we cant be rid of you." It scoffed. "No matter, with the power of the moon, and Nightmare Moon, combined with Majora's own, we can destroy you in an instant!" Nightmare said, a whirlwind of energy erupting from around her, causing massive damage to the surrounding mountain. Celestia simply looked at her, face impassive, as she surged her own power. The White magic that flowed from her soared into the sky like a beacon, the only thing that stopped it was the moon itself, as it shook from the impact. When the magic died down, Celestia drew her new sword, Blue energy crackling alongside its edge like lightning.

In a flash of motion, and Red magic, Nightmare appeared in front of Celestia and did a quick flip kick, followed by a few tentacles zipping out and whipping in her direction. Celestia took the kick, and used her sword to slice at the tentacles mere inches away from her face. She punched Nightmare in the shoulder, sending her flying back. Nightmare did a quick recovery flip, and started to float into the air. Her cackling laugh rocked through the battlefield.

"You have some skill. Lets test your abilities, shall we?" Nightmare chuckled as she flicked her wrist and a tentacle slip from Majora into her hand. Her other hand was outstretched, aimed palm first at Celestia. As Red and Purple magic mixed with Black magic in her palm, she began to spin her newest whip.

"Here, catch!" Nightmare yelled out with a screech as she pulsed her magic out into a beam, towards Celestia.

With a hefty swing, Celestia cut through the magic beam, sending a small Blue bolt of magic to Nightmares palm, disabling the spell. with a deft flick of her fingers, she flicked the heavy sword into the sky with what looked like practiced ease. Only to grab the incoming Red tentacle with both hands, and quickly spin. This made Nightmare fly towards her with a surprised yelp. With a quick motion, Celestia wrapped the tentacle around Nightmare.

Nightmare let out a grunt, as she looked into Celestia's emotionless face.

"Didn't know you felt that way about me. I am your sister after all." Nightmare said, voice low and husky. At those words Celestia's previously emotionless face grew an anger filled snarl. She lifted an arm, fingers outstretched, as she caught the sword she had flung into the air. Upon contact with her hand, the sword began glowing a blinding Blue.

"Eep?"

*Smash*

A wave of Blue shot out, fully encompassing Nightmares form. As the energy faded, Celestia plunged the blade into the ground, standing in the same spot she started in.

"You are not any sibling of mine. Never talk to me like we're family!" The hatred burning in Celestia's eyes. Nightmare stared a bit, before she started laughing again, smoke still seeping from her from the attack.

"You think your better than me?" Nightmare laughed out. "I rule the Night! The moon is under my complete control!" Nightmare's laugh died out as she looked to the moon. "In fact.. fall!" She seemed to pull her hand down from the air, and a pulse of magic was sent careening into the moon. Within seconds the moon's natural Grey glow was overtaken by an eerie Red. The moon suddenly started dropping faster than it had before.

An outcry from behind her turned Celestia's attention to Luna for a second. Luna was now on the ground, horn still lit with a Blue glow, but it was fading.

"Magic.. Too strong.." Luna breathed out, as her horn petered out. The moon picked up speed, Luna cringed as she figured that the moon would now only take 6 minutes at most to fall to the ground.

Celestia turned back to Nightmare to see the mare staring at the moon. The Masked visage of Nightmare looked over her shoulder towards Celestia.

"Come get me!" A beam of black and purple magic flew down from the moon, pulling Nightmare upwards. Her laughter was only heard as echoes as she disappeared into the moon. Celestia didn't waste time, and jumped in as well. Luna could only wait, as she watched the moon continue to fall.

----Inside The Moon: Meadow----

Celestia looked around and noted the bright Green of the grass, and The general beauty of the meadow they now resided. Even the large tree that stood in the distance was bright.

"Always back to here, huh Majora?" Fierce Deity asked aloud, without moving Celestia's mouth.

"If memory serves, this is the place where you reside is it not?" Majora asked from across the meadow, drawing Celestia's attention to the tree. In front of it stood Nightmare, arms crossed, floating lazily in the air. "However.." Majora said as Nightmare's head tilted sideways in amusement. She snapped her fingers, and suddenly they were standing in a room with rainbow colored walls, only they were far to dark to be called anything but malevolent.

"Welcome to our home." Nightmare's voice called out, as she floated in the middle of the room.

Celestia readied her sword, a Blue and White glow flowing down its edges.

"You talk to much." With those words, Celestia swung her sword, sending a beam of magic across the room, nailing Nightmare in the chest, slamming her into the wall behind her. Aside from the impact itself, it looked as if the attack had no affect at all. With blazing speeds, Celestia stabbed at the air rapidly and swung in wide arcs, sending blast after blast at the deadly duo. When the room was full of smoke and dust, Two red tentacles rushed from the clouds and smashed into Celestia, sliding her back a foot, as she braced for the continuous whipping that followed. Rapid strikes from all angles were all Celestia felt, as her rage grew. She rushed forward.

"I don't have time! If magic wont work, then I'll use force!" She grunted as she got within arms reach of Nightmare. At the same time the tentacles all stabbed into Celestia's back. Not showing anything but pure, burning rage as she dug her feet into the ground so the tentacles couldn't move her, as she reached up to Nightmare's face. She grasped the edges of the Mask, and pulled.

The masked Alicorn of rage incarnate pulled with everything she had, growling lowly.

"No! You can't!" Nightmare screeched out, ash she lashed out with more tentacles, hands reaching up to grab the hand pulling Majora from her face. In an act of pure instinct, Nightmare reached up to Celestia's face, and grabbed the edge of her face, forcing magic into her hand. She pulled, and felt the Mask Celestia was wearing slipping off.

In one last grunt, Celestia pulled and pushed herself away.

A flash of Red and White was all that could be seen.

Kneeling against on wall was Celestia Back to normal, panting for breath like she hadn't been breathing for hours, hand rubbing her face and eyes wild.

On the opposite side of the room, knelt Nightmare, eyes glossed over, and her hands by her side.

In the middle of the room, both Majora's Mask and Fierce Deity's Mask were floating apart of each other. Each silent, as theyu started to glow faintly.

"We never had a chance, did we? You had this all planned out like this.. Didn't you?" Majora's mask seemed subdued.

"No, this was all the original. It was his quick thinking that lead to this." Fierce Deity said flatly, glowing brighter as it faded into a small ball of light. As the small light entered Majora's Mask, Majora said one last thing.

"Hmm, our next try will have more thought behind it. Just you wait!" Majora's Mask glowed its dark red, before it lightened up considerably, almost back to the color it was before, then the magic stopped flowing entirely. The Mask simply fell to floor with a clatter. Its orange eyes had no glow, it looked lifeless.

Celestia had watched the exchange fully, and got up shakily of the floor. Her steps like a new born foal, as she slowly made her way to the fallen Mask. It appearance was almost identical to how it was a few minutes ago. The only differences was the fact that the mask itself seemed a bit brighter. Celestia raised a foot, hovering it over the Mask. Celestia had half a mind to stomp on the thing now, and stop any more of this from happening again.

Celestia gently let her foot land on the ground, as she bent over to pick it up. She tucked it under her arm, as she walked to Nightmare. Said mare was still dazed, eyes glossed over, and mumbling about power. Celestia almost dropped the Mask when it flashed a bright white, sending a small bolt towards Nightmare. The magic entered through her head, and the mare seemed to snap out of it.

"H-huh?" She said groggily, as she looked around. When she saw Celestia she tried to get up, but upon seeing the Mask under her arm, she immediately pushed herself away using her arms.

"Keep that thing away from me!" She even raised her arms to keep her face covered. Celestia raised an eyebrow, but sighed tiredly. She lit up her horn and summoned a glowing Golden chain and wrapped it around Nightmare's wrists. It was then, that a flash of Red magic was sent through the area in a wave, momentarily blinding Celestia. When opened her eyes, she found herself outside, however upon looking up she noted the moon still hanging in the air, almost touching her castle tower no less!

"Sister!" Luna's voice called out from behind her, as she turned she found herself hugged by her sister in a tackle-hug. Luna spun her sister around like a ragdoll, before letting her go. A soft clatter caught her attention, as she looked down she saw the lifeless mask. With a soft gasp, she gently leaned down and picked it up, cradling it like a baby. She couldn't feel anything from it, only a slightly warm feeling in her-

A soft White light gently spooled from her chest, wrapping around the Mask once, then soaking into it. After a minute of this, the White light stopped, and the Orange eyes of the Mask lit up faintly.

"W-what happened?" The voice of her friend came from the Mask. Not a screech to be heard, as his soft tone made her smile.

"What?" A confused sounding Nightmare called from behind Celestia. Upon seeing her, Luna clutched her friend to herself harder, and frowned.

"What are you doing here?" Luna asked Nightmare with no amount of joy in her voice.

"Can we get to that later? Where did that creepy voice go? The one that kept telling me to kill Everypony?!" Nightmare seemed none too happy.

"M-Majora.." The soft voice from the Mask started. "Majora got free. I'm so sorry." Luna shushed him, the Mask grumbling before the glow of his eyes faded. He was asleep.

"I don't know why your still here.. Or why I sense his magic inside of you, but I guess I can answer your questions if you answer my own. He is from a different world. He was brought here against his will, and at the same time, transformed into the Mask you see before you. It also houses the Masks initial soul as well, thus making it a bit like the struggle we once had." Luna answered. " Now, why do you have some of his magic in you? Is that why he's so tired?" Luna asked. Before Nightmare could try and answer, Celestia started to talk.

"I believe that he gave it to her." Celestia said, her answer was met with the confused looks of both maidens of the moon. "I think that, even unconscious, he knew she was in trouble, and gave up a part of himself to keep her alive." The confusion only deepened. Celestia sighed as she pinched the bridge of her nose. She turned to look at Nightmare. "Before you came in contact with Majora, did you have a body to claim as your own?" She asked. A look of sudden acknowledgment flashed across her face.

"He.. Gave me a body?" Nightmare whispered, eyes wide with surprise. Luna looked from Nightmare to the Mask, and gently rubbed one of its spikes.

"Yes, that does seem like something he would do." Celestia focused on the Mask herself, before turning and walking away towards the castle.

"Come on Lulu." She said with a chuckle, the tension finally leaving Celestia's shoulders a bit. "Its been a long day, and I want to relax for a while." She said with a yawn. She glanced towards Nightmare Moon. "And I don't think we have to worry about Nightmare." She smirked. Luna, confused, looked up and over to Nightmare, who was really close to her, staring down at the Mask in her arms with a look of adoration. A look that didn't exactly look right on the mare that Luna knew was evil. It clicked slightly in Luna's brain, and she smiled lightly, before muttering softly to herself.

"We are the same mare, so we think alike..

"What was that?" Nightmare snapped back to attention at the sudden noise next to her. She looked to Celestia and Luna, both of whom were smirking at her.

"What?"

Luna and Celestia laughed as they made their way towards the castle, Nightmare in tow, lagging behind due to the glowing yellow chains weighing her down.
