Back into a corner with nowhere to go Celestia had given in, Nightmare Moon as it seems has won and is ready to take the crown and make the nights last for eternity...
But then before Nightmare Moon could remove Celestia out of the picture, there a sudden quick within the castle and then a voice began to be heard within the castle's walls as grew louder and louder as a flash of Red appear before Nightmare's eyes and Celestia's as well. Then suddenly in a burst of red light a figure appears between Nightmare Moon and Celestia the figure appears before Nightmare's eyes staring at her with it's yellow demon eyes. Caught in the moment of shock and fear Nightmare realize immediately for what stood before her and was paralyzed with fear for only a moment noticed.
Then in a thundering voice Nightmare said" You GET OUT OF MY WAY!!!!"
casting a spell at figure, the figure then lifts up one hand and hold the spell before itself in midair. Celestia was shocked from beyond belief until a light started to appear below her, she look down and was the elements of Harmony glowing for some reason and
her only thought was "what going on?"
Then Nightmare suddenly charge at the figure piercing it's shoulder with her horn and cast it aside before realize that something is happening to Celestia. But without a care in thought she flew towards Celestia
saying"with you gone the night will live on for eternity" but then after sudden burst of light Celestia appear with many colors round her
saying this "I'm sorry Sister...but I can not allow that" then with her found powers she cast Nightmare Moon and banished her into the moon of night....
Celestia did it she won but then the elements of Harmony began to fade and lost there power, Celestia immediately realized and said" The elements of Harmony have lost their powers... all because I lost my only friend"
With heavy heart and tears from her eyes, She was alone left with the pain of her sister forever trapped in the moon, then she remember the figure and wonder what ever happened to the figure. So Celestia look in the last place she saw it last...Nothing left but an emptyed corner,except for look like a trail of blood that lend towards the broken window, so Celestia decided to go though the broken window to still find only nothing until she look into dark night to find a shadowy figure upon a hill site at first Celestia thought it was another pony until she looked closer then all of sudden it turns it's head towards Celestia, In that moment Celestia realize it was the figure who appeared before her every eyes and was paralyzed for what she seeing before her every eyes were these eyes of someone she had never seen before...
It's eyes changing colors as it stare back at Celestia, She see it's hand on it's shoulder and she knows it's in pain after Nightmare pierced it with her horn. Celestia then walked onto the roof careful, wanting to say something to it but before she could do that she look to the figure again to only see it's head turned back round and watch as it lift up it's hand and place two fingers on it's head and just like that it disappear right in front of Celestia's eyes...
Celestia's only words were "Who are You?, and why did you save...me?"
Celestia looked down with sadness in her eye but then she saw something under her hove flapping about, she lifted her hove and pick it up with her magic and looked at it. It was photo of three young men side by side of each other with smiles on their faces with Equestria in the back round, Celestia flip the photo round and saw three names, in three different hand-writings, the names are J.D.,Devin,Andrew... Then Celestia realize it was the Red Phantom who drop this photo which meant it was a man that was the Red Phantom...

And the voice answered and said" Now you must be the one that a Equestria looks up to... For my time is done, and my purpose is now over... For I must now leave Equestria for the sake of the future"
but Celestia cried" Wait... Please... Don't leave Equestria"
the voice replied with "my dear Princess... My time is done and are yours comes to play... and so will three others and six ponies..."
