When The Stars Align (Original, Rewrite, and Bonus Chapters)

Celestia wandered over to the cage hesitantly as everyone else was distracted by the battle. In the cage, was an unconscious Luna. "Luna!" She whisper-yelled unlatching the cage with her magic and pulling her little sister to her.

Luna groaned holding her head as her voice pierced her head. 'You need us, Luna! You know how powerful she is! Don't let her hurt him!' She screamed at the mare making her head pound. Luna's soft pants alerted her sister as she rushed over to the night princess. Luna pushed her away, her body glowing white and becoming taller.

Astin fought the young draconequus easily overpowering her. She smirks panting "You're almost as good as Starswirl, himself" She gasped kneeling her forelegs in exhaustion. Astin smirked magically restrainting her with glowing white chains.

Twilight and the others smiled. "He did it!" Twilight cheered followed by the others as they rushed over to him. Astin smiled holding all the ponies. "I will need to do extensive research on your new form" Twilight chirped placing a hoof on his wings making Astin chuckle.

Celestia walked over to them smiling "Astin..." Luna mumbled weakly limping at Celestia's side. "Lu-" Astin coughed as a black projectile burst it's way into his chest. He landed on the floor with a painful thud blood pouring from his chest.

"ASTINNN!!!!!!!" Luna screamed all weaknesses were forgotten as she limped over to human. Her voice becoming louder and louder as she fell on him holding him close. His wings laid limply at his sides as Luna repeatedly cried out his name. Celestia stood frozen in shock as a lone tear filled her eye and fell down her cheek.

A frail cry came from the crowd of guards as Fluttershy held her stomach "I think the foals are coming" She whimpered in her high pitched voice. Twilight and the others stood shocked by the two events unfolding before them.

Rainbow Dash growled attempting to fly towards the draconequus to be stopped by Cadance. "You...COWARD!!!" Rainbow screamed at the insane mare. Cadance shook her head but glared at the draconequus.

Celestia and Luna held their horns together attempting to spark a healing spell for their beloved but to no avail. "Luna...Your fur" Celestia gasped as Luna's fur slowly but surely was becoming black. Luna's eyes were wide in disbelief as she looked at the gaping hole in her mate "Thou hast said thou didn't want us to leave. How could you be so selfish as to leave us after making that promise" Luna cried her old Equestrian dialect slipping into her modern dialect as she held the limp human.

Her eyes turned white "Whoever did this shall pay" She roared in her royal canterlot voice making everyone flinch. Gambit giggled rolling her eyes at her disappearing restraints "Luna's angry" She cooed mockingly. Luna's eyes narrowed into slits as her teeth sharpened into fangs embedding themselves into her lip.

Her blood was boiling for revenge as the last of her fur became black. Her hair became darker and more faded as Luna turned into Nightmare Moon.

But it was different, A silver crown similar to Celestia's fell onto her head but instead of purple jewels they were black tainted diamonds. Her mouth seemed stuck in a neutral frown like a mask. She was gorgeous even by Celestia's standards without armor. "Stop gaping, My dear sister" She growled in her two toned voice.

Celestia gulped as Nightmare Moon sighed moving a lock of her blue mane from her eyes tucking it behind her ear. "It's time for this draconequus..." She yawned looking at her with a sultry look yet fury shone in her eyes "...To learn her place in this universe" She snarled gathering magic into her black horn.

The blast was twice as large as Nightmare Moon, herself. It shook the foundation of the building making everyone scream. Celestia looked at Nightmare Moon who stared back with a blank look before motioning her head to the left. Celestia raised an eyebrow looking to the left of her. She then saw the gleaming white gold crown of her mate.

Nightmare Moon nodded before looking back towards the gaping hole in the ceiling. Celestia grabbed Astin gently with her magic running toward the group of ponies "Twilight!" She cried as she arrived. Twilight looked at the human and touched her horn to Celestia's aiding her with her magic. The human glowed green as his wound started to repair itself.

"We can't keep this up, Princess." Twilight grunted out as her magic reserves started to drain. "Let us at least try to stabilize him" She whimpered pleadingly to the lavender mare. Twilight nodded hesitantly and proceeded to stabilize the human.

Nightmare Moon growled as she heard a familiar poof signaling the draconequus had teleported back in. The scowl was quickly replaced by a smirk as she took in her appearance. Blood and bruises littered her fur leaving disgusting purple marks all over. Her left foreleg was twisted in an awkward angle indicating it was broken and her cool calm composure was gone and she looked at Nightmare Moon with pure rage.

"I'LL KILL YOU!!!" She snarled running at the black alicorn. Her eyes were swirling red as purple mist emanated from them. Her tail slammed on the palace floor making cracks in the sun emblem. "Awe. Devil's Gambit is angry" She cooed mockingly similar to how the young draconequus teased her earlier.

"Payback will be a whorse" Nightmare Moon giggled disappearing into a black mist. Gambit looked around with a snarl on her face. Nightmare Moon slowly materialized underneath her underbelly flinging her up with her sharp horn. Gambit's stomach spewed blood all over the black mare as she cried out in agony. The draconequus fell hitting the wall with such power that it knocked the breath from her.

"...You...filthy" The draconequus started holding a hoof to her stomach "Putrid...Disgusting...NO GOOD WHORSE" She screeched. Nightmare Moon smirked "Is that all you have to say" She cooed teleporting toward her. "NO! Stay away from me! Putrid Animal" She screamed in horror running toward the opposite wall.
"Putrid Animal? No. No. No. That will not do..." She smirked "I am a Nightmare" She smiled at the shaking draconequus.

"A Queen" She stomped on the ground with her fore-hooves.

"Thou shall bow before me-" She started her gallop toward the draconequus.

The black alicorn gasped as a sudden sharp object forcefully invaded its way into her wing and out the other end. Nightmare let out a blood curdling scream in pain as many shadow soldiers jumped through the windows surrounding the mare. "LUNA!!!" Celestia screamed running towards her sister. Gambit smirked at the advantage.

Twilight laid a hoof on the writhing Fluttershy. "Twilight, something feels wrong" She gasped holding her enlarged stomach with her hoof. "Try and relax, Darling" Rarity cooed tucking her long pink locks behind her ear.

AppleJack checked the mare "Ah've never done this with anything except cows but ah think she should start pushin' now" She explained. "But, I want Discord here" Fluttershy whimpered softly reaching a hoof out to him. Cadance nodded walking over to the unconscious draconequus smacking him lightly with her hoof. "Come on, Discord" She groaned shaking him.

His red eyes opened slightly before closing again "5 more minutes, Fluttershy" He murmured turning over. "I'm Cadance and Fluttershy is in labor" The pink alicorn explained. The draconequus shot up running over to the whimpering Fluttershy.

"Discord..." She whimpered grabbing his paw with her hoof. Discord gulped a bit before giving her an encouraging squeeze. Fluttershy smiled before a wave of pain hit her making her scream. "Push Fluttershy" AppleJack commanded firmly. Fluttershy pushed as hard as she could letting out a small squeak.

Discord watched worriedly as a tiny horned head slowly eased it's way out. "Wow..." Twilight murmured softly witnessing the miracle of foal birth for the first time as Pinkie slid a hoof around her shoulders slightly bouncing with excitement. AppleJack helped slowly ease the small foal out as she continued to command Fluttershy.

Discord watched as the small foal wriggled out with a small mewing cry. He smiled as the tiny paw wrapped itself around his talon. "It's a handsome little colt" AppleJack said with tears in her eyes. Twilight and Pinkie smiled leaning on each other.

The second baby easily made it way into the world with little to no complications. A light purple almost pink in undertone earth pony with a purple and white swirly mane. "And a beautiful little filly" AppleJack announced.

Rainbow Dash and Rarity watched with warm smiles as Discord held the two foals for the first time. Dark brown tears fell from his eyes as he looked at his newborn foals. "Discord cries chocolate milk" Fluttershy giggled reaching for them "Can I see them please..." She smiled as the foals were gently placed into her arms.
The purple filly opened her tiny muzzle letting out a small yawn. Everyone awed at her as she hiccupped starting to cry. "I think she's hungry, honey" Discord said.

Suddenly a bottle of chocolate milk appeared and floated gently into the filly's mouth. Everyone gasped "Chaos magic" Twilight whispered amazed.

The colt whined and wailed. Fluttershy looked to Cadance pleadingly. The pink alicorn giggled pushing the tiny colt toward her teat allowing him to latch on and start suckling. "Doesn't he have chaos magic" Pinkie asked curiously. Discord made a face "I don't feel anything" He replied.

"I will name this little colt, Soul Strife" Fluttershy mumbled kissing his tiny forehead as he let out a small coo. "This is my little Screwball" Discord announced holding the purple filly to his chest.

"Doesn't look anything at all like Discord's kid" Rainbow Dash said bluntly. "Nothing makes sense with Discord, I'm not surprised" Fluttershy replied in her soft voice laced with exhaustion.

They were in for a rude awakening as shadow soldiers quickly ran towards them. Spears held high and they charged through the protective wall of Canterlot guards.

"Don't you dare touch them" Discord growled taking a defensive stance around his mate and foals. The draconequus's eyes seemed to glow a bright red as he let out an earth-shattering roar. It could only be described as a powerful lion mixed with a prideful protective dragon.

The mane 6 flinched a bit from the loud noise. "Well ah'll be" AppleJack muttered taking off her hat in respect. "THAT WAS...AWESOME!!!" Rainbow Dash yelled. Twilight and Rarity looked at each other stunned by the sudden noise.

Pinkie bounced around the babies "Happy Happy Birthday to you and you today- Pinkie!" Twilight whisper-yelled "Later" Pinkie frowned disheartened by her scolding before flopping down on her haunches.
