My Little Pony: The Game
A True Nightmare Part 2
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAs the blast of energy hit Nightmare, I quickly jumped forward to continue my offense. I was fighting to win. The blast then shot Nightmare through the wall. I then quickly turned to Twilight, who was looking at me with a shocked expression.
"Twilight, I want you to go get the Elements of Harmony, NOW!" I said, shocking Twilight. It was at this point that ponies started to run away. Twilight then shook herself out of shock and gave me a look.
"What about you? Who was that? What are those?" She asked in quick succession. I put my hoof in her mouth, keeping her from continuing to speak.
"Not right now. In the library, there is a book on the elements under the section E, ok?" I said. When she nodded I pulled my hoof away and ran over to the destroyed wall.
When I got out, I saw Nightmare standing with an angry scowl. Silently I used observe to look at her stats.

Ok, so she is more physically fit than Celestia, but doesn't have as high an intelligent, and JESUS LOOK AT THAT LUCK. Did she open an umbrella indoors, that knocked over a salt shaker which scared a cat to dart under a ladder, knocking it over into a magnifying glass, intensifying the suns rays to burn a field of four leaf clovers. Oh wait, that happened to Psycko (Wait what).
Looking into Nightmare's cold angry eyes was difficult to do, mostly due to her size. She towers over everyone, so looking her in the eye is kind of intimidating.
"What an incredible amount of power. It's to bad I will have to snuff it. You could have made a great commander in my new glorious empire." She spoke with a condescending voice. To be honest, it made me want to puke.

I quickly shot a blast of magic out at Nightmare, who put up a shield to protect herself. When I released the blast, Nightmare shot out a volley of magical shots from within her shield at blinding speeds. I quickly created a shield of my own by levitating a wall from the ground in front of me.
As the blasts hit the wall I levitated rubble from the wall behind me and launched them in the direction of the blasts. Immediately after that I rolled out of cover to the right and shot a blast of magic at Nightmare Moon. Nightmare retaliated with a blast of her own, which collided and resulted in a massive explosion that blinded me.
Immediately I levitated a tent structure from the road beneath me for my vision to clear. Soon after I heard pounding against my structure. When my vision returned I breathed in, and gathered a huge amount of magic in my horn.
I then exhaled and released it in all directions.
(Music pause)
The resulting explosion form Led's magic generated a massive wave of energy, one that Nightmare Moon was not prepared for. The resulting force sent her flying backwards into a building, causing it to collapse. As Nightmare sat up from the rubble, she thought to herself.
'Incredible, this pony has shown incredible power with just Kingdom Magic. She must be a prodigy, beyond any in a thousand years. It is simply to bad she's with the sun. She would have made a great commander as I said.'
Suddenly a blast came at her and she set up another shield. It wasn't the time to be thinking.
The battle, had begun.
(Music continue)
I stared down Nightmare as she put up another shield. She then put it down while shooting another beam directly at me, which I dodged and used levitation to create a large crack in the ground underneath Nightmare.
This caught her off guard and used the opportunity to fire a barrage of magic missiles at her. While she recovered from the change in terrain, she wasn't fast enough to put up a shield and got hit will the missiles.
She stood there, panting and slightly injured. I looked above her at her Health and MP to and compared it to my own.
Nightmare Moon
Health:16,342/22,000
MP:8,211/12,000
Led Zeppelin
Health:34,999/35,000
MP:18,980/20,000
Wow. I was not expecting to do that well. Shaking those thoughts out of my head, I started the next major part of my plan. I stared directly into Nightmares eyes, as she glared into mine. Then, I began to activate my spell.
(Music stop)
Her face slowly became unfocused, her eyes slowly glazed, and she started to sway from side to side. It was working. It was a surprisingly difficult thing to replicate. You know how in Naruto Obito placed Yagura in a genjutsu so strong that both him and the three tails were trapped under his power, and then made him massacre all of his villages bloodlines without resistance. Well it's a similar thing here. If Nightmare and Luna are two separate entities like some fan stories suggest, then this will still work.
At multiple points she seemed to try to focus, but she eventually stopped moving all together. I slowly walked up to her, and put up a double layered magic shield in the progress.
When I reached her, she looked back at me with glazed and lifeless eyes. I waved my hoof in front of her a few times, but got no response.
"Bow." I said, testing the commands.
She did so.
All according to my plan.
NO, it's not anything evil. I just wanted to put the mane 6 through their trails without having them be in actual danger, so putting Nightmare under an illusion was a good option.
"Stand strait." I said, she obeyed.
"You are going to put the mane 6 through the pilot episode trails, but interfere if one of them gets to close to death, also, let the Elements hit you." She nodded, and took to the skies.
I watched the Elements hit Nightmare from the entrance to the room. It worked, and the world has been saved. Once Celestia showed up and Twilight and her had their little talk (though without talking about the whole fairy tale thing), I decided to make my presence known.
"Well, that went pretty well." I said, as everyone turned to me.
"Zeppy, I'm so glad you're ok." Twilight said as she hugged me.
"Good to see you to sis." I responded, hugging her back.
"Speaking of sisters." Celestia said, walking over to the unconscious Luna.
I didn't really pay attention to their reunion, but I did when we heard a loud shriek of anger.
"Insolence! Such complete insolence!"
We looked over to the end of the room, where a shadowy alicorn stood. It looked like Nightmare, but intangible. It suddenly shot forward, shifting into a smoking orb shape. It was moving fast towards Twilight. I can't let it hit her, nobody wants a Nightmare Twilight running around. That would be catastrophic! So, I did the only thing I could think of.
I jumped in front of her, and the Nightmare hit me.
And, that moment, everything went white.
But nothing bad happened.

When everything came back into view. I was standing, looking down towards everyone, except for Celestia, who was still taller than me. I looked down at myself, My fur had turned from its rusted red into a silver grey. As sky blue hair fell down to my face, I took a look at it. My mane was much longer now, going down my neck, and it was wavy. I looked at the rest of my body. My body had become much leaner, but had visible muscle, and my cutie mark, It looked the same, but the colors were darker.
I looked back towards the shocked ponies, who were looking back with fear, but Luna and Celestia's expression quickly turned to anger, and they shot a blast at me.
I was in so much shock I could barley get out of the way. Then Celestia looked towards the mane 6.
"Use the Elements, fast, who knows what Nightmare will do now!" I was in shock. They thought I was Nightmare, I hadn't even said anything.
They nodded and started charging the Elements. They're really doing this! Why?! What did I do?!
Then, they fired. A tear streamed down my eye.
Before it hit, everything froze. I looked around, my panicked and betrayed state making it difficult to think. I did the only thing I could think of, and teleported away.
When I opened my eyes, I was in the forest, but I didn't care. I fell into the grooves in the roots next to me.
And I cried.
