If Nightmare Moon won

Nightmare moon looked down at the six mares cowering in fear. Never had she felt more accomplished and proud of herself. She couldn't help but laugh at how the yellow one was crying hysterically and shaking like an electric toothbrush! Of course she didn't know what that was but still found the act amusing.

"Oh, poor, poor Twilight!" The bitter alicorn cooed. "You really made a fool of yourself! Look at these ponies around you. They are wrong to befriend you, you just make them weak. You are pathetic! Look at me! I shattered the elements of harmony right before you and you just sat there doing nothing! Honestly that is just too easy! It's almost as if you want me to take over!"

The violet unicorn sat up to look at Nightmare Moon, though she barely could for a river of tears flowed through her eyes making everything blurry. "Where is she?" She whimpered between sobs. "Please! Where is she?" There was silence.

Nightmare moon looked at her face and saw the pain. It almost put her down, but still! This is Nightmare Moon, she can handle anything! And the feelings of ponies meant nothing to her. Nightmare Moon stomped at her making the mare jump back and let out a yelp. The wicked mare chuckled and then spoke, "Do you really think I would harm her?"

"Um..Y-yes.."

" You foolish filly! I wouldn't touch her! After all, how can you see the world you love so much disappear if you're dead? "

"Um.."

" Got nothing to say? Oh too bad! Because that was going to be your few final words! "

In a quick flash, Nightmare Moon zapped a ray of dark magic toward Twilight Sparkle. the magic warped around her body and all at once, disappeared. A small frightened unicorn image was now plastered on the moon for all to see.The floor where the pony stood was vacant and Twilight was nowhere to be found.

At this point the rainbow maned pegasus who was watching from behind could help herself anymore and lunged herself at Nightmare Moon, only to miss and headbutt the stone wall. She instantly passed out on impact. The remaining four mares instantly ran to her aid.

Fluttershy, the yellow pegasus (who was crying earlier) glared at Nightmare Moon. Despite the tears in her eyes and the pain in her heart she managed a glare that even slightly shook Nightmare Moon. The way she sternly stared into her soul was frightening in a strange way. But of course, she was Nightmare Moon, nothing shook Nightmare Moon. Nothing.

"Are you okay? What in Equestria is wrong with your face?"

" SHUT UP! " the Pegasus yelled. Wow. Even Nightmare moon didn't see that coming. Nor did the others. They all stared at her in disbelief. After recovering from the shock, Nightmare Moon gathered herself (again) . Wow these ponies are actually brave!

"How dare you!" Nightmare Moon exclaimed. "How dare you disrespect your princess!"

"You are not a princess! You are a monster! How dare you kill Twilight! She was a good pony with a great future, but then you show up! You, you, Nightmare!"

Nightmare Moon almost lost a tear but quickly hid it. Nightmare, that was the name her sister called her before she banished her. That was the last word she heard from her. How she missed her. But it was too late now.

"I didn't kill her, I just banished her to the moon for 1,000 years. It's fine though, she can't age or do anything in the moon. She can only wait and feel the pain. The horrible, unbearable pain. She won't ever see your faces again!"

By now, Rainbow Dash had gained Consciousness and sat up. Her head still hurt and she was extremely dizzy. "Where...is..Mightnare Noon? Where is Wilight ?"

" Ugh! THAT'S IT" Nightmare moon raised her head and one by one zapped each pony, the same as she had done before. They all vanished in a flash and then the room was silent. Now at this moment you would think she would be laughing her armor off and have some fun.

She knew that there was nothing standing in her way anymore and she was free to do as she pleased, but she didn't. She just sat there, thinking. She was finally alone. She thought about the things that pegasus said. A tear fell, a real tear. A tear of regret. As the clouds drifted over the moon with the new picture of the mane six on it's face, she watched the tear fall slowly and land on the metal shoe that fit on her left hoof.

The room was silent. The only sound she heard was the echo of the drip fall onto her boot. She cried and let out more tears. Soon, her vision was blurry and her eyes were sore. She didn't know how long she was there, minutes, hours, days. She kept crying. The time seemed to stop. She looked out the window, this was the usual time she would watch the majesty of the sunrise. The perfect moment that shared beauty of both sun and moon, the think that she would never see again.

Then it clicked. She remembered her sister's arguments.

"You are loved sister! I know that it seems as if Equestria only bows to me but I bow to you. I know you are important, that is all that matters."

"Oh sister.." The desperate mare wept. "Why was I a fool? Why did I become so selfish that I ignored you? I-I'm sorry!"

Then, As if the universe answered her cries and pleas, A light shone in the distance. A trail of light rushed in and circled the night sky. It make circles upon circles. Then as a finish made a spiral around the moon. and then the sun arose in front of the moon as the moon set at the same time. The trail of light rushed into the window that Nightmare moon was watching this from and then slowly, the light formed into an alicorn with a white coat and a flowing mane.

"I was wondering how long it would take for you to realize that." Princess Celestia said. "If you are willing to reform, I will help you. Nopony will judge you of your past. I will make sure of that."

As she held out her hoof, Nightmare Moon thought whether or not to accept it. It didn't take long to decide though and she held out her hoof too and stood up.

"Come along, Princess Luna. You have missed so much."

And nopony ever heard of Twilight and her friends again. (Or for the next 1000 years.)
