The Death of a Hero

Nightmare Night growled angrily and charged at Jake. They would have crashed into each other head first but Jake dived out of the way. Nightmare Moon went rushing past him turning around at the last moment. "How dare you!" She yelled. "What are you gonna do about it!?" Laughed Jake. He suddenly regretted saying that as Nightmare Moon crashed into him sending him whirling backwards. Inside sugarcube corner there were gasps from the mares that had gathered by the window to watch. Jake suddenly reached into his pocket and pulled something out. He pointed it at Nightmare Moon. "What is that contraption!?" Shouted Nightmare Moon in fear. "This..." Replied Jake laughing again. "This is a gun. It's filled with these things called bullets. Bullets are litte pieces of metal that fly straight into your brain. Understand?" Nightmare Moon stepped backwards. "See you in hell Nightmare Moon..." Jake said pulling the trigger. Nothing happened. "Uh oh..." Said Jake as Nightmare Moon hurtled towards him smiling.

The next thing Jake knew he was lying on the floor in sugarcube corner. "What happened?" Asked Jake "Was it a nightmare?" The mares just shook their heads. "You ran from Nightmare Moon but she sent you flying straight back in here" Replied Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash, Twilight and Jake were the only ones who hadn't huddled in the corner. Rainbow Dash walked towards the door slowly. "Rainbow Dash?" Asked Twilight worried "What are you doing?" Rainbow Dash turned around quickly. "I'm going to finish what Jake started." She replied. She turned round and opened the door. She walked outside, slowly. "Hey Nightmare Moon!" She shouted. Nightmare Moon turned round suprised by the sudden outburst. Rainbow Dash charged at Nightmare Moon but was knocked backwards and lay sprawled on the floor. Nightmare Moon looked down at the unconcious cyan pegasus. Just as she was about to kill Rainbow Dash there was a bang. Nightmare Moon looked up to see Jake holding the gun at her. "That thing doesn't work." She laughed. "You think so?" Asked Jake. He pointed the gun at Nightmare Moons leg and fired. "Gaah!" Yelled Nightmare Moon dropping to the floor. A river of red ran across the floor. "How d'you like that?" Jake asked mockingly. Nightmare Moon suddenly bit Jake on the leg and he collapsed to the floor. "How d'you like that?" She replied even more mockingly. She bit Jake on the neck and blood spurted out. Nightmare Moon was laughing manically now. "I-I-I-I'm not going down without a fight." Said Jake weakly. He raised the gun to Nightmare Moons head. "What are you doing?" Nightmare Moon asked worriedly. "Finishing what I started." Jake replied pulling the trigger.

The six mares rushed over to the human and the pony as they lay on the floor dead. A river of blood was flowing between the bodies. It was over. But at a price. And the price was life. Everyone looked silently at the bodies. But it was Fluttershy who broke the silence. "It's been said that death is the next great adventure." She said. Everyone stared at her in amazement. This shy pegasus was making a speech? "I know your suprised that I can make this speech after what has happened." Fluttershy continued "But what happened today is why I can make this speech. I learnt from this day is that sacrifice can save lives. And Jake showed that in stopping Nightmare Moon. This day will be remembered because of what Jake did. Jake saved lives and he will be remebered for that." All of the ponies stared at Fluttershy as she hovered in the air defiantly. Slowly but surely everyone started clapping. And that night was remebered for the sacrifice that Jake made. But the events of the night weren't quite what they seemed. But that, dear readers, is for the epilouge.

THE END

The Beggining

Jake was getting excited to find out what Nightmare Night was like. There was a rumour that Princess Luna would be visiting for the first time since last Nightmare Night. But a few people were a bit worried about the visit, including Twilight Sparkle. "Come on, Twilight!" Said Jake to the worried unicorn "It can't be that bad! What are you worried about anyway!?" Twilight just stood with her head against the wall. She lifted her head and turned to look at Jake. Jake could see how worried she was which made him get a bit worried too. "I think something is going to happen tonight." Replied Twilight. "What's gonna happen tonight?" Asked Jake, worried. Twilight just shook her head and said "A massacre." Jake just stared at the worried pony. "But... who would stage a massacre in Ponyville?" Asked Jake. "Nightmare Moon" Replied Twilight, simply.

As soon as night came everyone but Twilight looked to the skies looking for Princess Luna. Jake turned to Twilight. "Come on, Twilight! Lighten up!" He said "There won't be a massacre!" But he was wrong. The moon goddesses' chariot came out of the clouds and landed in front of the crowd. But it wasn't Princess Luna who stepped out... it was... "NIGHTMARE MOON!" Yelled the crowd running in all directions. Nightmare Moon snarled and ran at the fleeing ponies. "Twilight!" Shouted a familiar voice. "Rainbow Dash!" Yelled Jake as the rainbow maned pegasus ran towards him. "Where's Twilight and the others?" Asked Rainbow Dash in a worried voice. Her face had a worried look on it and her mane was sticking out everywhere. "I don't know. Twilight ran off when the chariot came out of the clouds." Suddenly a dark blue figure slammed into Jake knocking him over. Jake lashed out at the figure as it went to bite him. Just as Nightmare Moon went in for the kill a blur flew into her. "Applejack!?" Shouted Rainbow Dash staring at the orange pony. Applejack just smiled weakly just before she was flung off. Rainbow Dash and Jake ran over to her. "We've got to find the others" Said Rainbow Dash, helping up the dazed Applejack. Then out of nowhere a ray of shimmering, bright light hit Nightmare Moon square in the head. The others turned round to see Twiliht standing there. "SHE WON'T BE DOWN FOR LONG! EVERYONE GET INSIDE!" Ordered Twilight.

They burst into sugarcube corner only to find the other mares huddled in a corner. Twilight stayed by the window making sure Nightmare Moon couldn't get inside. Jake hid by the door in case she tried to get in. Everyone else... just sat huddled in the same corner. Twilight saw Nightmare Moon's blue mane and tail waving in the wind. "Come out little ponies! I'm getting hungry!" She shouted playfully. No one dared to step outside. Until suddenly, a door to the right of Nightmare Moon burst open and strange creture walked out. "And who or what are you?" Demanded Nightmare Moon angrily. "I'm Jake fucking Turner and I'm... a bloody human." As soon as Jake had finished his sentence he rushed at Nightmare Moon. Nightmare Moon was taken by suprise. But not for long.

Epilouge

After the events of Nightmare Night there was a rememberance for everyone that died on that fateful night. Princess Celestia wasn't there as she was trying to comprehend the fact that she was to rule alone once again. Everypony was at the rememberance. But nopony knew what was about to happen. Because this was not all that it seemed. The room suddenly started to wave like water and there were voices from above. "Wake up, Jake!" They were saying. Everypony started panicking and running about. The room slowly started to dissapear. Until it was complete darkness. Then, one by one, the ponies started dissapearing until there was no one left. What happened next is another story.
