The symbols of Anarchy

Starlight woke up in a dark room, it was a room of an ancient castle, filled with dust, spider webs, and rusty black armors. As she tried to get back on her hooves, a headache attacked her, making her fall again. Starlight got up on her hooves a second time and she looked around the room, trying to find an exit. "What the hell is happening. One moment I was with Trixie at the spa and now.." Starlight's thought stopped as she heard the sound of hooves walking echoing between the dark stone walls. Starlight lighted her horn to see through the dark room.

"Who is it?" A feminine voice asked. Starlight knew that voice. And the owner of the voice came to the moonlight that came out of the windows. It was a blue alicorn with levitating beautiful dark mane with stars inside. It was Princess of the night, Princess Luna. Starlight ran towards Luna and the princess embraced her friend in her hooves. "Starlight Glimmer, what is happening. One moment I am with my sister and next.."

"Can you please keep your voice down," a male voice complained as the princess and the unicorn turned and saw Discord. The draconequus moaned and stretched his snake-like body, "I have a headache." Discord removed his head and threw it away to a garbage can and then he took a new head from a chest and assembled the new head to his body. "Now it's better," Discord sighed in relief and turned to the two equines, "Now can you please tell me, why we are here?"

"Good," a creepy and cold voice talked from an unknown place, "You are all awake, now we can begin the experiment." Soon enough the entire room was filled with yellow gas and the one who kidnapped talked again, "You all have been chosen for your past deeds. Each one of you put his and her values above others. Now you all protecting those who once feared you. What do monsters afraid of, once love fuel it's heart? Are they afraid to return to their evil deeds or one who did not forgive them will harm the ones they love?"

"If you wanted to learn about us, why didn't you asked us for an interview?" Luna asked in frustration and to this the voice giggled, sending shivers down the spines of those who heard him.

"To actually know what a creature is thinking, you have to see it in action. The gas you breathing right now is a formula I created. will help me to understand what lies in your mind." Soon enough the gas disappeared and three doors opened.

"Alright then," Starlight went through the first door and Discord and Luna went through the others.

Discord found himself walking in a dark hall filled with black armors from each side. "You know, whoever you are, you just wasting your time, I have no fear. I have seen the worst of anything and you will not be one those terrible things." A creepy and horrifying laugh filled the room.

"If a creature fear nothing, does it means he loves nothing? Maybe in the past, you feared nothing but now, when you have love, and if you can feel the love you will feel fear." Soon enough the entire hall was filled with darkness. Discord didn't care. But in the darkness, there was a spot of light. Discord looked at the light and what he saw was suprising. The draconequus saw a young pegasus mare, surrounded by animals. The mare had a yellow coat and pink mane, beautiful blue eyes and her cutie mark was three butterflies.

"Fluttershy?" Discord asked as he slowly walked towards his friend. As Discord almost got to the light, as he was so close to embracing Fluttershy in his arms, the light turned off and took Fluttershy away. "Fluttershy!!" Discord screamed in terror and another light appeared. This time Fluttershy was held as a hostage. next to her neck was the blade of a scyhte and behind her was the one who held the scythe. It was a stallion, with a yellow coat and he was so skinny he resembled a skeleton, The stallion wore shredded brown clothes with hay poking out of them and his head was covered by a scarecrow mask and a witch's hat to his head. Without hesitation, Discord leaped towards the scarecrow-like pony and knocked him down to the ground. "You will not hurt Fluttershy!!!"

"Discord?" Discord turned around, his fangs gritted and his eyes were blood like-red. Discord saw Twilight and the other ponies looking at him with horror and hatred. "What have you done?" Discord's eyes turned back from red to yellow as he looked down at the scarecrow and he saw Fluttershy covered in blood and her neck was sliced, Discord saw his hands were covered in blood and his left palm held a knife. Discord could not believe his eyes and like he was knocked down he fell next to his victim.

"No!" Discord cried in terror "I couldn't, I would never harm you." Discord cried over the yellow pegasus, and looked at the knife that he held, " I am so sorry." Discord cried ash he brought the bloody knife to his neck.

Luna walked down the dark halls and finally, she arrived at a familiar place. She was back at the palace, but it looked different, the walls were black, the guards wore blue armor and instead of two thrones, there was only one throne, the throne of Nightmare Moon. Then Luna saw something on the throne.

no.. not something, someone. It was a stallion, so skinny that he could fool as a skeleton. The stallion wore shredded brown clothes with hay poking out of them and his head was covered by a scarecrow mask and a witch's hat to his head.

"How can I call you?" Luna asked.

"My name is Doctor Jonathan Crane," the figure introduces himself and smiled behind his scarecrow mask, "But you can call me by my true name. The scarecrow!"

"Well Scarecrow," Luna smiled to the pony, "You failed. Every night since I cease to be Nightmare Moon, I've given nightmares for myself. I am not afraid of Nightmare Moon nor return to be Nightmare Moon." To Luna's answer, the Scarecrow laughed, his laugh echoed through the throne room and Luna's smile faded away.

"But what would happen if somepony would follow the path of Nightmare Moon after all history has a name for repeating itself." Scarecrow disappeared and Luna heard a feminine laugh. Luna knew that laugh and she turned around to see a pink alicorn with purple long mane and she wore dark blue armor and black cape. It was Shining Armor and Princess Cadence's child. It was Flurry heart.

"Flurry?" Luna asked as the dark pink alicorn took her place on the moon-shaped throne, "What happened to you?"

"Oh dear aunt," Flurry smiled and laughed at the Princess of the night, "You have shown me the way to rule."

"No!!" Luna cried, " Please do not take my mistakes as lessons. Do not follow the path I once walked through."

"And that path showed me power, showed me my destiny." Luna fell on her knees, tears dropped from her eyes. That will be the end of Equestria, under the hand of those who worshiped her mistakes. Flurry heart rose from the throne and went down the stairs as she laughed, "Smile aunt. Thanks to you and your legend, I have learned my true destiny."

"No," Luna got up on her feet, " I will not let it happen." Luna walked towards the evil alicorn and Flurry backed away, " I will teach you to be better than my mistakes. Long as I live no one will ever worship Nightmare Moon." Luna's horn glow in dark blue as the room started to fade. Flurry heart started to fade and the true form of the room was formed. It was an old castle, it was Celestia and Luna's old castle. Princess Luna smiled, now she knows the way out, after all, she was there when the palace was built.

After some time Luna found the way out. As Luna was outside the old and dark palace, breathing deeply the night air, she heard a scream. "Starlight!" Luna screamed and went back into the dark pit and after some time she went out with Starlight on her back. "Don't worry Starlight Glimmer, you will be okay."

Starlight was tied to a hospital bed, screaming the name of the one who did this to them. Luna was outside the room and the main 6 were at the Princess' side. As the other five ponies went to help Starlight, Luna took Fluttershy to the side. Twilight saw the Princess and the pegasus talk for some time and then Fluttershy fell on her knees crying.
