The Dictators of Ponyville 3 The Rise Of The Shadows

Shadow Pony could feel the power of Nightmare Moon. He didn't know where she was, but he knew she was out there somewhere. He chuckled to himself, knowing she wanted revenge for that little colt she had grown to like. He knew the consequences would be severe, but he never thought Nightmare Moon herself, would come I to play. He walked out onto his balcony from his palace. The night sky was beautiful, he started understanding why Luna had a lot of followers, her night's were nothing, but marvelous.

He was expecting her to come. He was waiting for her to arrive so they could start their dueling. He was good at it, but preferred using swords and tools instead of magic. From what he understood about Nightmare Moon, she didn't have a preference, atleast from the ponies he had talked to, said that. It was interesting considering that she alway's used magic, but then again Shadow Pony liked seeing the fear in his enemies eye's before they die. He did from time to time use magic in dueling if he was really bored, but otherwise he likes to see blood spill.

"you have some nerve, killing an innocent colt, and latter thinking you could get away with it." Nightmare Moon said, with malice.

"Truth be told, I didn't actually think you would become Nightmare Moon, but fate has alway's loved playing with us." Shadow Pony said, without looking behind him.

There was an silence between them, not an uncomfortable one, but an angry one. Shadow Pony waited for her to attack but it never came. He turned around and saw her in all her glory. Midnight blue armor and chest plate with an helmet that looked like it belonged to a leader. Her fur was black with her green reptilian eye's and her mane was lit like stars.

"You're as beautiful as ever. You were alway's cute when you were angry." Shadow Pony said, without thinking.

"You are nothing but an pathetic excuse of an fallen angel. You think I would allow you to live, even after you killed Pipsquek!? I will kill you even if it's the last thing I do." Nightmare Moon said, with hatred.

Shadow Pony couldn't help but laugh at the display. She didn't actually have a blush on her face, she just looked angry wich Shadow Pony thought looked cute. Shadow Pony had never been in a relationship with Nightmare Moon, but he aided her when she wanted eternal night. He had sent her ooze that corrupted her bat-ponies even more, so they would only be loyal to her. Nightmare Moon nearly succeeded but failed in the end.

"How have Luna been treating you?" Shadow Pony asked, in a monotone voice.

"Why in Tartarus does that matter? I'm here for you, because of you killing Pipsquek!" Nightmare Moon said, with hatred, losing her patience.

Shadow Pony looked towards the battle lit eye's of Nightmare Moon. If it was a fight she wanted, then it was a fight she would receive.

Shadow Pony shot a killing curse at Nightmare Moon, but she evaded in time. Nightmare shot an corruption spell, but realised it wouldn't have an effect on him, because he was already corrupt. Shadow Pony took the air and flew up high until he was at the ceiling level. He shot an beam at Nightmare, wich she evaded without breaking a sweat. Nightmare shot several spells rapidly at Shadow Pony, hoping to bring him of balance. Shadow Pony was hit and landed on his stone floor, and immidiently got up and evaded a blast. Shadow Pony shot a black beam at Nightmare, wich she blocked of with her own magic shield. Shadow Pony the rushed towards Nightmare so fast, Nightmare forgot to evade. Nightmare fell on the stone floor and got up only to be meet with an sword nearly cutting her. Nightmare evaded and used her magic to pull out her own sword. She then started swinging it left and right towards Shadow Pony, who kept evading her swings. He was then stabbed in his front hoof, wich he smiled towards. Since he was an ooze like creature he couldn't feel that type of pain. Shadow Pony started swinging wildly and eventually struck Nightmares left side. Nightmare fell to the ground bleeding profusely.

"Do you give up Nightmare? You're bleeding, and id rather not kill you." Shadow Pony said, with sincerity.

"NEVER!!!!!!!" Nightmare Moon shouted, as she got up and swung the sword right in were his heart is suppose to be.

To Nightmares shock, it actually seemed to do something. He looked pale, really pale. She twisted her sword violently, and eventually he faded to ashes screaming in pain and agony.

Nightmare stood there shocked by the turn of events, until she was facing a pony she knew all to well.

"It's interesting seeing you fight Nightmare, but would you be kind enough to allow Luna talk?" Pipsquek asked, kindly.

Nightmare was shocked, but obliged to his wishes. Luna emerged from the form of Nightmare Moon, and head tears in her eye's. She ran up to Pipsquek and hugged him. She noticed that he was different. He was an..... ALICORN!!??! How could this be?

"Pipsquek, how did you become an alicorn? Not that I'm not happy to see you, it's just I didn't expect it to be like this." Luna said, looking all around Pipsquek.

"When I died, I became an alicorn angel. Same goes for the others, Spike can change forms, but remains a dragon. We became angels. I helped aid you in the fight between you're foe. It seems as though you needed it, considering Shadow Pony was an angelic being, with demon powers." Pipsquek explained, earning shocked eye's from Luna.

"I must go now, I hope to see you in heaven in atleast a couple of thousand years." Pipsquek said, smiling at Luna as he flew towards heaven.

Luna walked out of the palace and saw ponies waking up from their corrupted form. Everypony and gryphons looked shocked. They looked all around them seeing the destruction caused by the Shadow Pony and his corrupted followers.

The nightmare had finally ended.
