" Oh I just love organizing and planning, and I love it even more when everythink go acording to plan, because rewriting checklist over and over is realy annoying " said Mind Slaver to himself as he make double and than triple check on checklist, princess Celestia often said that it was one of thinks what remind her of Twilight Sparkle.

As time passed and ritual was about to end, Mind Slaver watched patienly as summoning rune was calling Nightmare Moon army from 16 diferent dimentions, his heart bumping faster and faster, felling adrenaline rush, his horn charged with spell what would be able to take control of mind of many alicorns as long as they would stand still long enoght, and as summoning spell of that caliber work, summoned Nightmares would be unconscious what would give him alot time to put spells on tham.

And than in a big flash portals closed and summoning rune stoped shinning, culd members stand in shock and Mind Slaver had confused and angry expression on his face " WHAT THE BUCK JUST HAPPENED !!! " he said in volume almost as high as royal canterlot voice.

Watching as none of his cult members had any idea what is going on, Mind Slaver scanned his surroundings, and than it hit him, 16 artifacts were almost out of energy " noooo, this can not be, do artifacts are not strong enoght ? "

After some minutes of sillent thinking " Buck that, those artifacts has been created to open 16 portals, no matter what I do, I can not change that as they were creation of the one who choiced me to discover his books and learn from tham, so why would he do that if it was not to summon 16 Nightmare Moons, what he planed ? "

After walking in circle trying to figure out what went wrong, he spoke again " Seems he had somethink other in mind, but if he predicted the future, that today I will open portals and start my road to greatness, and yet my attempt to summon army to this world, what else is that I can do today since artifacts need at best 10 weeks to be charged ? "

" Oh well, since I will discover it today, I can at last do somethink I love above everythink else, experiment time " he said as his expresion went to excitement again, if there was somethink what Mind Slaver loved, it was experimenting.

As Mind Slaver charged his horn to start new experimental ritual, he ordered one of his mindless ponny golems to went in the summoning rune, next he used what is left of magic power in 16 artifacts to open 16 portals again, this time however Mind Slaver did not try to summon Nightmare Moons, instead he started to summon they essence, little by little small dark mists went out of 16 portals into ponny golem and started to form a shape, but it not last long as portals closed again, this time artifacts complitly drained of magic, and what was left in front of Mind Slaver was a small dark alicorn filly sleeping in adorable position.

WIth dissapointed and thoughtfull expression, and hoof on his face almost facepalming " Now it make sense, artifacts are not strong enoght to summon sush powerful alicorns like Nightmare Moon, but I can transfer they powers little by little, meaby it was what this old alicorn planed, meaby I can change myself and my cult members into alicorns by summoning Nightmare Moons power, well, WHATEVER, I can not test it until artifacts are charged again, PUPPET MASTERS, take artifacts and charge tham " said in ordering tone to his cult members.

As cult members took artifacts and left room, Mind Slaver started to fell rage and dissapointment, after all he will need to wait weeks before he can test his theory and now is stuck with little filly, now watching a little black alicorn filly Mind Slaver started to consider do he should destroy it or meaby it can be in any use for him.

Mind Slaver slowly walked into Nightmare filly direction and with strong resolve, he kicked the filly across the room, as result little filly slowly opened her eyes and looked around, with confusion on her face and questions in her mind ' what was that ?, where am I, who am I, who is this unicorn, wait, how do I know it is unicorn ?, actualy how do I know what unicorn is ?, weird, I do not remember anythink and yet I know thinks what I do not understand, oh my head hurt ' her confusion rise as she started to look around even more worried, than she turned her face into unicorn what was closing by step by step, with hope to get some ansfers she asked " ummmmmm, excuse.....me mr. Un... Unicorn, .... would you please ttt. tell me where I am and who I am ? "

After she asked him those questions, Mind Slaver punched her in the safe with his left hoof and said " you are nothink else than trash."

After she felt the pain on her face, black filly felt like she was about to cry, " tttt. trash ? " filly ansfered in confusion and sadness.

" Yes, trash, worthless, useless life form what I created by accident " ansfered unicorn with anger, yet a little bit of satisfaction.

The filly trying to find out more even if it hurt her, asked again " what you mean that you created me, who I am " with desperation in her voice.

Using his magic Mind Slaver levitated the filly closer to him " oh, i just wanted to summon powerfull army of fearfull monsters with pround name of Nightmare Moon, and all I got is a little useless TRASH LIKE YOU ! " he said with more anger and trown filly into wall.

Nightmare filly could not take it any more, all those insult, loud voice and pain made her cry, and after moment of crying Mind Slaver levitated filly close to his horn as he cast mind control spell on little alicorn, " shut up ".

After he gave filly this order, she stoped crying, actualy, she wanted to cry, as every filly she wanted to put her sad emotions out but she could not, no matter how hard she would want to try, her mind was rejecting it, " yyyy yes master " said filly.

" Good, now than since we are done with formalities, what to do with you ? "

Little filly unable to cry now watched with fear as a big mean Unicorn was about thinking, reading some peae of paper and deciding her fate.

Mind Slaver watched his checklist and than he added some changes

1 - find a place to hide for yourself and your cult to escape royal guards - CHECK

2 - research acient ruins discovered during escape - CHECK

3 - study acient books and tomes about interdimentional and time travel - CHECK

After double and than triple checking his checklist " yes, that will totaly do " Mind Slaver turned his gaze to little filly, " congratulation, from now on you are no longer Trash, from now on your new name is Useless Test Subject, oh I am going to have so much fun with you " said with satisfaction and excitement in his voice, the little filly just nod her head as she could not do anythink else, but inside she was full of fear.

...

2 weeks later, Mind Slaver laboratory

...

Poor Nightmare filly was lying on the ground, her hoofs, wings and body were full of injuries, from place to place burns, her eye was slowly recovering as it was cut off, many scars on her face, even mane and tail was a bit teared apart, her body was full of pain, she was tired, hungry, thristy and sad.

Last 2 weeks were realy hard to her, day by day she was test subjects in Mind Slaver experiments, she even found out a pattern those experiments went.

First it started from strenght testing, filly was forced to lift up weghts what Mind Slaver put on her, until she reached her limits what back tham was 750 kg ( it was typical weight what averge Earth Ponny could lift ), the next experiment was to check how long she can hold up 200 kg on her back before she run out of energy.

Next experiment was familiar, she was forced to run as fast as possible, and after this she was forced to run with normal speed until she was to tired to go on, and with mind controling spell on her, she no matter how much she wanted, she could not stop until she realy could not go on.

Next experiment was to lift weird with magic and another one was a flying test, they were exacly the same as last 2 tests.

The result on weight lifting were far greater, when she hardly could lift weird what averge ponny could, she was able to levitate weird what only the most powerfull unicorns were able to lift, speed and flying tests however did not went to well.

After Mind Slaver finished testing filly vitality, strenght and magic, he decided to go into duribility, and this is when the real horror started.

Pattern was the same, first test as high temperature filly can withstand before he body start to burn, and next how her body get damaged when she is burned in choiced temperature, next tests were familiar:

How she could withstand cold, electrick attacks, poisons of all sort, and even dark and light offensive magic, in the end what was left was to test how well alicorn body take physical punishment from stabing and cutting her with weapon into other type of tortures.

Every day poor filly wanted cry but could not, wanted to attack Mind Slaver and could not, wanted to escape and could not, wanted to at last curse him with words and could not, in the end she just wanted to die, to end this horror, and it was not going to come, however aound 6 days ago the first light of hope was borned into her when she hear voice in her head.

...

Flashback

...

" It seems that your body have impressive recovering abilitys and huge duribility, as long as I do not kill you, your body is able to recover from whatever damage I do to you, hmn, oh I know, lets cut your eye and see if it will recover " Mind Slaver run out of his lab into armory to pick up a weapon with excitement in his eyes, no matter how cruel, experiments were alwais joy for him.

Alicorn filly once again started to cry inside, wishing she would just perish ' ssssss, do not worry poor filly, you are not alown any longer ' said voice in her head, " who said it ? show yourself ! "

' I m right here, in your mind actualy, and as who I m, well, you can call me Nightmare Moon ', the little filly confused but curious with anythink what can take her attention out of pain started to think to herself ' you are in my mind, realy ? '

' yes I am, and please worry not, I m on your side ' the voice ansfered with calm tone.

' ddd. do you know how I can escape, please tell me you can help me, I realy want to but I can not no matter how I try, pleaseeeee ' ansfered the filly crying in her mind,

' As much as I wish I could help you break the spell, I can not, even grown up alicorn is defensless again it, but there is somethink else I can assist you with '

' What is it, ......, what is there that you can help me with, do you can end this horror, end my life, what can you do ' asked filly in her mind with desperation

' I can weaken your pain poor filly, you see, when that monster who tortue you tryed to summon power of Nightmare Moons, he actualy summoned 16 small peace of they souls with just tiny bit of they powers, together all those soul fragments merged into one, and that is how you was born '

Listening to voice in her mind filly was getting more and more confused ' but if I was born from 16 soul fragments, and you are soul fragment, how are you talking with me, should not you be part of me, and how do I even know so many stuff since I m new born filly ? '

' To be honest I do not understand this myself, it seems that with soul parts you also received memorys and experience of 16 diferent Nightmare Moons, but for now you have acces to only a tiny part of it, meaby thats why, meaby the souls are not merged, it seems that now all we can do is to share our experience and memorys with you one by one until we will fully merge '

' As long as you can reduce my pain, I will belive you, pleaseee, help me ' begged the filly as the voice ansfered ' I m terribly sorry that I forgot about your pain, as your soul fragment, I can take half of your pain to myself, you will still fell it, but it will be alot weaker, and I will need to endure it as well '

' You, you can do that for me ? ' asked the filly in her mind with hope what she never had from the moment she was born

' Ofcourse I will my poor child, we are in this together, and pain is nothink new to me, and soon more soul fragments will contact wtih you and take they share of pain, so please, do not give up and do not lose hope, we will endure the pain until we will be free, and than our revange will be great '

' I do not care about revange, all I want is the pain to stop, but as long as you are in my mind, I promise I wont give up '

...

Flashback end

...

Nightmare filly was lyifng in her bed, as she was receiving 20% pain since 4 Nightmare Moons in her head already offered to take they share of pain, and by last 5 days she had dreams where she was Nightmare Moon, however they were sad memorys where she was lonely on the Moon, thinking over how her sister Celestia betrayed her and banished to the moon, and Luna was fighting her rying to get bad in control over her body, but even nightmares were worth the pain she was avoiding.

In the same time Mind Slaver was reading his notes and thinking over his last experiments, supriced with progress and results " It seems that experimenting on alicorn filly without limits give results far greater in only 2 weeks than 10 years of secretly observing Celestia, most satisfating."

In front of him were notes with his research final results about alicorns

Informations about Alicorns power and nature for all villans trying to take over Equestria, Autor - Mind Slaver

Alicorn is a powerful creature with very high ammount of mana running in it is body.

Alicorn looks like a mix between bigest Earth Ponny, on backs have 2 wings far bigger than any pegasus wings, and on the head have big horn what is longer than usual unicrn horn.

Mana what flown inside alicorn body is far greater than mana in any Earth Ponny, Pegasus and Unicorn, what give tham huge magic abilitys, increase strenght, speed and give incredible duribility.

Alicorn with size of small filly posses strenght of averge grown up Earth Ponny, yet what is very special is energy reserves what alow Alicorn filly do Earth Ponny work 10 times longer, however as a side result of having so huge storage of energy, it takes 5 time longer for Alicorn filly to recover.

The same go for flying abilitys, Alicorn filly is a bit slower than averge Pegasus because flying require more of practice, than pure strenght, but with so high energy reserves Alicorn filly would be able to fly 5 times longer than averge Pegasus, with however 5 time longer recovering time.

However what is the most special about alicorns is that Alicorn filly had telecinetic power what can rival very powerful Unicorns, as for mana reserves, Alicorn filly can use magic 20 times longer than Unicorn before running out of power, as side result it take 10 times longer to recover tham.

Final conclusion is that Alicorns are a very strong energy and magic generators capaible to store huge ammount of power, when strenght and magic power are not realy to high.

Yet regeneration rate is not to high, so Alicorns need to use they power wisely to not run out of it.

Alicorn durability prove to be even biger mistery, mana what flown in Alicorn body also keep it alive, as resulteven if damaging Alicorn body is not hard, mana reinforce body making it impossible to penetrate and regenerate received damage on high rate, with is also the reason of very long life since mana replace old body parts will new ones.

Thanks to high mana reserves fire, ice, electrick, poision and physical punishment can not kill Alicorn until mana reserves run out, with also lead to a huge weakpoint discovery.

If Alicorn will use to much of it is power, it is durability will go down, and also if Alicorn receive to much damage, it is magic power also will go down.

Alicorn regeneration rate is not high, so if Alicorn will use his mana faster than it can recover, killing it will be very easy.

After reading his own conclusions, Mind Slaver started to think do his new gained informations will help him to defeat Princess Celestia and Luna " This make so much sense now, in pass it required cooperation of so many Unicorns to move sun and moon not because they did not had enoght magic power, but because it required steady mana transfer from unicorns to keep Sun and Moon on the run 24 hours each day, not to mention that most mana was wasted since union between unicorns was never efective, Alicorns on the other side have high reserves of mana what they can transfer all the time, princess Celestia move sun and also take extra energy from sun, and even when she moved sun and moon for 1000 years, her regeneration rate was still higher than mana she used "

After moment of thinking another conclusion came to his head " If I would be able to force Celestia and Luna to use they mana faster than they can recover, and not give tham time to rest, hmn........ no, it wont do, Celestia and Luna relly on they servants and army alot, they will alwais have plenty of time to rest, it wont do "

Dissapointed that all informations what he gained by last 2 weeks were in no help, Mind Slaver decided to went one step ahead in his game, as he turned to alicorn filly, he said " as I was afraid, you was useless test subject after all, heheheh, but do not worry, I have in mind a experiment what will give me plenty of useful informations, you should actualy be proud to be part of somethink great ".

Alicorn filly just looked at him with malice in her eyes " as you wish master. "

Mind Sliver made a big grin smile on his face as he charged magic from his horn into a sword, after 10 minutes enchanting, the sword glown in organge aura, shine brighter than Luna Moon, everyone in the same room with some talent in magic would fell it is power in the air.

" Beautiful is not it ? " said Mind Slaver proudly showing his sword to Alicorn filly, " this my useless test subject is an artificial Arcade sword, normal Arcade weapon is pure materialized magic what take weapon shape, artifitial one is just a enchanted weapon, but make no mistake, artificial one what I create can ryvalize the real one "

Arcade sword what was levitating around Alicorn filly turned it is sharp aiming filly hoof and strike it, in the very moment a scream of pain was hear in the entire room.

After felling huge pain, Alicorn filly started to watch how arcade sword was stuck in her hoof, slowly levitating out of it, blood flow out of the injury, it was complitly new experience for her, so far she was often hit with swords, spears and maces as test of her duribility, but her magic alwais kept blood inside unless her magic was almost out.

" Oh the look on your face, priceless,' laugth ', you must be very supriced, well, it will be my plesure to explain, you see, arcade sword is made of magic with special properties, it complitly destroy any magic it enter contact with as well magic barriers with easy, if I would use this weapon on Earth Ponny or Pegasus, damage would be minimal since they magic is diferent, again Unicorn it would do much more damage since they magic is more directly used, but again Alicorn like you, well, it make hurting you so much more easy "

Alicorn filly with fear and terror in her eyes was watching the fearsome weapon what can end her life with 1 strong slash ' Nightmare, Nightmare Moon, what should I do, I m scared, '

' Calm yourself little one, I know this weapon well' said Nightmare Moon number 4,' after all, I once used it to defeat Celestia and Luna, but this artificial one he created is far stronger than the one what Twilight Sparcle used again me.'

Those words just made filly even more afraid ' if you wanted to calm me down, than I am afraid you did a terrible job, I m so doomed ' , ' no you are not, whatever this monster want to do to you, he do not want to kill you, I wish I could take more pain from you to myself, to protect you, but sadly I can not, all there is left is hope that other soul fragments will soon contact with you and take they share, so please, do not fear ' said Nightmare nr 4,

' Thank you Nightmare number ummm, 4, yes, you are Nightmare what contact with me the last time ? ' asked filly what forgot for moment about danger she was in, now confused trying to number her friends in her mind.

' Yes, I was number 4 to contact you, but I realy hate to be called Nightmare, it bring so many bad memorys, so please call me Nyx '

' Ok I will and thanks again Nyx, also, once we will be alown, can you tell me more about this arcane somethink ? ' asked filly trying to keep her mind away from her fear.

' Ofcourse, I will have no secrets from you, and meaby one day when we will be free, i will teach you how to protect yourself and your friends once you will find some ' said Nyx in her mind, hoping that one day poor filly will be able to have a normal peaceful life.

Sadly for filly, her talk with Nyx was interuped by another strike of this fearsome weapon. " I think that your screams as plesant as they are now, may get annoying in the future, so I order you to not scream any longer, do you understand ? "

Little filly could not do anythink else than to agree " yyy....., yes master ", do it could get any worse, not only she could not escape, fight back, talk back or even cry after all those tortures, she and her Nightmare friends endured, now she is not alowed to scream from pain, filly started to wonder do it is even possible to follow this command until another strike of the sword made cut on her wing, even felling just 20% of pain, it was still alot, but her mind and body refused to give up any scream, poor filly knew it is just the beggining.

...

2 weeks later

...

When poor filly thought that Mind Slaver can not be more cruel, to her suprice he could, she was now lying down on the bad, probably the only think what kept her from going mad from pain was the fact that now 8 Nightmare Moon friends shared her pain, leaving her with only 11%, but it was still alot to her.

her left front hoof and right back hoof were cut off, her right wing on her back was cut off, her mane and tail were cut off, her horn was cut off, and the rest parts of her bodys had many injures, she also felt that she did not had much left of her blood and only magic inside her was keeping her alive, without it the little blood she had would not be enoght.

On the other side of the room was Mind Slaver, who was very plesant with the result of his experiments.

" Sush wonderful development, it seems that not only arcade sword can penetrate magic inside alicorn body, but it also keep mana away from injured part, making alicorn bleed for quite a long time, whats more, damage done by it destroy alot mana, making alicorn lose it is mana reserves what he need alot time to recover, and body parts what are cut off require many weeks to recover, ' laught ', this weapon should be called alicorn killer, hmn, it is not a bad name I must say, yes, I will make better arcane sword and call it Alicorn Killer, still,note to myself, discover a good way to defend again it once I become alicorn myself "

Mind Slaver walked to injured filly, what many ponnys would think is dying with so many injuries and cuts, alicorn filly just watched him with malice but also resignation, she was almost broken, even efforts from her friends inside her head could not cheer her up now. ' what can I do for you master ' asked filly, she did not care what she say to him, he wanted to do his experiment, so lets get it over with.

" Oh, so nice to see you in sush spirit ' laught ', I actualy have a wonderful news for you, from today you are no longer useless test subjects, from today your new name is, tata dadada " he stoped making pause for better efect " Almost usefull test subject ", keep it up and one day you will become usefull test subject, if you survive that is " as alwais with satisfaction in his voice, he sure had alot of fun, but filly did not care.

" Whatever you say master " said filly with resignation.

" oh, now you are starting to ruin my fun, whatever, today I will test your fighting abilitys " said Slaver levitating filly out of her bad, " ofcourse master, with 2 broken hoofs, damaged horn, and cut off wing, I m more ready and warn up than ever, I just can not wait to make some damage, oh, can I find with someone so great and powerful like you master ? I m sure that cuts what I have on my body will looks far more great on yours " ansfered filly with sarcasm, it was not long time ago when filly discovered that even if she can not alowed to talk back to his master, she was never prohibiten too do it in sarcasm.

" ' laught ' thats a good one, but no, you will ... " Mind Slaver was cut off in his sentence when he hear some noise comming from other side of door in his laboratory, " who dears to interupt me in my work, I promises, whoever you are, you will be a target practice in my experiment " ansfered Mind Slaver with annoyance in his voice, thinking that one of his cult members is interupting him for not importand reasons, it happen sometime if he not give to clear instruction when case is importand enoght to interupt him.

" MIND SLAVER, in the name of princess Celestia and princess Luna, you are under arrest for crimes again royality and Equestria, come out and do not resist or we will not show any mercy " said aloud Stalion who apperantly was a royal guard officer.

" Oh just great, they found my laboratory, hmn, on the other side, meaby it is a good timing, hey there filly, I command you to attack Royal Guards, oh this will be entertaming ", Mind Slaver knew that he was surrounded, not only by Pegasus batalion, but also by Unicorn Squad what was probably making anty teleportation barrier around this place, what else would be deployed again sush popular villan like him, but he did not care, he alwais had plan B just in case.

" yyy..... yes master " ansfered filly, this time with sadness in her voice, her broken will now replaced with fear, but not fear about getting hurt, it was fear about what she was about to do ' nooo, everythink but not this, someone want to give this big old meany a lesson and end those horrors, and I have no choice but to attack the Knight in the shinning armor ' , ' worry not little one, in your curent stage you wont be able to hurt anyone and they wont hurt you, trust me, if there is somethink I learned, it is that Celestia guards are pussys, but also mercyfull, they wont harm you, you should actualy be happy, whatever fate will wait for us behind those walls, it will be 100 times better than horror we are in, today, horror ends ' ansfered Nightmare Moon number 2, as filly charged again guard who entered the room.

Before Pegasus guard could react, he was tackled by alicorn filly, all the guards outside of the room were now watching the filly with unbelivable shock, no one even noticed that she was familiar to Nightmare Moon, at the moment all they saw was massacred little filly standing in front of tham.

They watched her horn and hoofs cut, many injuries, what most hit the guards was her wing cut off as no other than Pegasus knew how terrible it could be to lose his wing " THAT BASTARD " said one of Pegasus Guards who wanted to rush into laboratory only to be tackled by filly, ' what, how a little filly can be so strong, how can she even have strenght to stand ' the guard thought to himself, when it hit him, this filly was an alicorn.

" Wait, you are Alicorn ?, but how ? " asked guard with filly Alicorn standing on him hitting him with not cut off hoof, but not doing any damage to trained guard.

" Oh, how rude of me to not introduce her, everyone, this filly here is almost useless test subject, and why she is alicorn, well, if you have any brain behind those muscles, meaby you will figure it on your own. "

" YOU MERCYLESS MONSTER " called guards in union as they rushed into his direction, only for they say to be blocked by shield, also hitting shield with your head once you fly with high speed is not plesant experience even for trained guards with helmets on they heads.

" Oh no no no, I do not want to play with you at the moment you winged muscles with no brain, I m here only to see how this injured alicorn play with you, so go ahead and attack, or just do nothink and be target practice for her, your choice "

" This wont be necessary " said high ranked officer of the solar guards, very confident like he already captured his pray, " Sergeant White Feather and Iron Wing, capture this filly but do not hurt her, than take her to canterlot for medical attention ", " SIr yes sir ", after hearing this, commander took out some sort of crystal from his pocket and trown it into Mind Slaver shield, shield broke in no time " Attack ".

Commander signal and breaking shield was all the guards need to rush into Mind Slaver with full speed, 3 guards hitting him all at once making a bit mess in laboratory, and more guards followed, when his 2 sergeants captured alicorn filly and took it by force, commander was about to enter the laboratory, when he was trown back by some sort of explosion, when he recover from shock, he rushed to laboratory only to see 10 of his guards injured, lying on the ground, dark aura in the air.

" How do you like my Dark blast, it is a very handly magic trick I learned by studing dark arts, if you wonder how it work, well, short story, I make wafe of dark energy what hit everythink around me knocking off everyone around me, than dark force is atracted to any living think what was hit by it, and well, I m sure unicorn nurses will tell you more about how it afected they bodys "

" I WILL KILL YOU " said Pegasus commander as he flew into Mind Slaver direction, in any normal situation, Pegasus guard could easy defeat Unicorn guard, when Unicorn guard could beat up Earth Guard as easy as Earth Guard could beat Pegasus Guard in close combat, after all, Pegasus speed and agility do not give Unicorn time to use his spells making tham defensless, however high level spells like Ilusion or shield could easy turn the table as Pegasus was unable to break sush hard defense, Mind Slaver had alot tricks to defend himself again far more faster and stronger Pegasus.

Commander tryed to hit Mind Slaver only to pass by him and hit the wall, this laboratory was not to big after all, and there was not much time to react after commander found out that it was just a ilusion.

" I would love to make you my slaves, test subjects, or take away your lives, but I do not have time since Unicorn squad anty magical shield will reach this place any moment, so all there is left to say is, see you in Canterlot Castle when I will be it is KING " and with those words, Mind Slaver opened dark portal and run into it with some of his toys from laboratory.

Dissapointed and full of range commander said " Blast it, he got away once again, but I will kill him even if it is the last think I do " after letting off some of his anger, he watched as group of unicorn guards entered laboratorium, " do not stand like that you horned excuses of a royal guard, take my pegasus into medical facility as fast as possible, whatever this bastard did to tham, I m sure they need magical healing ".

Unicorn soldiers did as he said, as commander with and some of other pegasus and unicorn guards kept searching for any track of Mind Slaver, only to fall, it was not first time they tryed to capture him, but they were alwais 1 step behind.

In the meantime 2 sergeants were taking heavy injured alicorn into Canterlot Castle, they wanted to deliver her to princess Celestia as fast as possible, since finding an alicorn filly would be called as somethink extrime importand, but no matter what they said to filly or how they tryed to calm her, she was still trying to attack tham, 2 confused guards had no idea why she was so agresive and decided to escort her into dungeon before informing Celestia and Luna of this discovery, ' I m sorry, I m sorry ' she keep repeating those words as she was attacking guards with what strenght she had left.

...

Canterlot Castle Dungeon, 7 hours after fight with Mind Slaver, late at night

...

Alicorn filly was chained in dungeon cell as guards had no idea why is this filly so agressive, some guards even noticed that this filly remind tham of Nightmare Moon who attacked Castle 8 years ago, but short moment of anger was fast replaced with pity as injured filly was trying to attack tham with chains holding her in place saing " I m sorry, please forgive me, I can not control it " over and over, what confused guards even more was why this filly did not cry or scream from pain, they saw that she was totaly in pain, today nothink made any sense.

...

Meanwhile, throne room

...

Unaware of today events, princess Celestia just lowered sun and her sister was controling the moon at the very moment, Celestia waited for her sister to finish to say good night, usually Celestia was on the balcony watching as her sister decorate night sky, but in last 80 years Luna got into decoration complitly forgetting that Celly wait for her, usually end up landing on balcony and watching her sister sleeping on the floor adorably, Celestia made Luna promise her that she will just move moon and do minimal changes before saying good night, and after she could run into her artwork.

Than one of the guards entered Throne room, slowly walking to her, he bowed " Your Highness, I would like to inform you that 2 sergeants form pegasus batalion are outside throne room, wanting to deliver urgent news "

Princess Celestia started to be very curious, " stand, please " said Celestia with calm and warm voice, as she flew into balcony, " hey Lulu, sorry to interupting, but it seems that 2 of my guards have importand news, would you like to join ? " before she could finish her sentence, Celestia noticed her sister already entering throne room " do not get behind Celly " said Luna as she bounced into throne room.

" Let tham in " said Luna to guard before Celestia got to her side, than she turned her face to Celestia " what took you so long Celly, you are getting realy slow lately, eating to many muffins ? "

" Alwais in good mood I see ? " asked Celly as she did not wanted to debate over weight joke what Luna used whenever Celestia was taking her time walking gracefully but slowly, Luna just noded.

Celestia turned her head into 2 bowing pegasus guards " Iron Wing and White Feather, please stand, what importand news bring you here ? " asked Celly with her usual calm and warm voice, she was alwais good to hide her worrys from her subjects behind mask of regal and grace.

White Feather spoke first " Your majesty, I would like to inform you that we located and ambushed hideout of criminal name Mind Slaver ", on those words Celestia expression and mood changed drasticly, " Did you managed to capture him, where is he, do anyone got injured, tell me everythink you know " said Celestia with hurry and tone no one even hear her using, she wanted ansfers now and did not waste time to use her usual calm mask.

White feather went sillent supriced what he just saw, Iron Wing took over " Your Majesty, I m sorry but we are unable to ansfer those questions, as we were ordered by Commander Steel Wing to escort endangered black alicorn filly into safely, we wanted to escort her directly to you, your highness, but she was very agressive so we locked her in dungeon ".

On those words Luna and Celestia went sillent from suprice, an Alicorn filly, they and Cadence were only Alicorns in Equestria, not counting Nightmare Moon who was send to fight tham by Mind Slaver, Luna was first to break sillent, " do this Alicorn filly have any resemblance to Nightmare Moon by any chance ? "

Iron wing replied, " yes your Highness, she look like a filly version of Nightmare Moon as many Guards noticed, she is even very agressive ". White Feather cut him off, " But she also keep apologising, how she had strenght to attack us in Mind Slaver laboratory with all those injurys I do not know ", Celestia quickly cut him off " Injurys ? Mind Slaver laboratory ? " asked Celestia with alot worry and fear, as she knew where it was going.

White Feather ansfered on her question hardly saying his words " mmm, yes, well, ummm, she was, how to say it, 2 of her hoofs, her horn and her wing was cut off, she had alot injurys and no bandages, how she is still alive, nor how she could attack I have no idea ".

Celestia and Luna faces went rock stone, as they tryed to imagine it only to get sick and disgusting after even think about it, Celestia recovered first and asked in haste, " where is she, what cell in the dungeon ? "

Iron Wing ansfered " cell number 48 but " before he could say anythink more, in a flash, Celestia was gone, Luna noticing it, followed also dissapearing in flash.

2 confused guards were now looking at each other in confusion as they tryed to put everythink together, looking around in empty throne room, they both said in union " Today nothink make any sense " and they walked back to they dutys like thinking happened.

...

Dungeon, cell number 48

...

In a flash to all guards suprice, Celestia and moment after Luna teleported in front of tham, unicorn guard figuring out why they are here said " your highness, the filly is not in stabile condition, we should " but was cut by order " open the cell " Celestia said with serious expression, it was the kind of expression telling ( I have no time for formality, do as I say ), all guards bowed as unicorn opened cell and bowed as well.

In the cell, Alicorn filly was watching as bit white Alicorn was heading step by step to her with big black Alicorn following behind her, confusion quicly turned into fear as filly remembered tham from her dreams, white Alicorn who banished her into the moon and black Alicorn fighting to get control over her body back ' oh no, nonononono, they both hate me, they will banish me to the moon, they hurt or destroy me, nonononono no.'

Filly paniced, when Nightmare ansfered in her head ' worry not little one, they may hate me, but they are soft hearts, they would never hurt a filly, no matter how much they would hate it.'

than Nyx continued ' just be honest little one, tell tham entire true, tell tham who you are, trust they judgement,'

One by one Nightmare Moons inside her head were trying to calm filly, sure, most of tham would not like Celestia for obvious reasons, but it was not tham, it was little filly who was facing tham.

This was it, it was the moment when her fate would be decided, whatever Celestia and Luna would do to her, even banishment, it would still be better than endless tortures, she stoped to be afraid and started to watch white Alicorn with determination.

White Alicorn stoped in front of little filly in prison cell watching with horror as she saw for herself in how terrible shape filly was, in her live she saw many ponnys massacred but to see little filly like this, still alive, her heart almost turned into ash as she imagined what kind of tortures Mind Slaver put this poor filly.

Luna was also watching the filly, she was more resistand to horrors like this, and she started to think that meaby this filly is mini Nightmare Moon, but how was it possible, Nightmare Moon was complitly destryed 8 years ago, nothink left, no single part, and even Nightmare Moon do not deserve somethink like this.

Celestia lowered her head to filly, as she used her magic to free her from chains and than quicly started to use healing spell, and moment later Luna joined.

Filly started to fell better little by little as she watched 2 big Alicorns deciding her fate, the first to break sillent was Celestia " Hello little one, please do not fear " it was calm and warm voice Celestia was popular for.

Filly waited for moment and reply " I... I wont, tt. thank you " , after moment of sillent she spoke again " pppp please do not banish me to the moon, pleaseeee " .

At those words Celestia froze and Luna asked " why would we want to do sush a think little one ? "

" Bbbb ..... because you hate me, y y y y.... you hate Nightmare Moon, you bbb banished her to the Moon, ... I i I m Nightmare Moon, pp please do not hate me " said filly begging with puppy like eyes.

Luna shocked at this ansfer asked " so you are Nightmare Moon ? but why you look like a filly ? " asked Luna with suspicion in her voice.

" Actualy mmm... when I was created by master Mind Slaver, he gave me name Useless test subject, but the voices in my head told me that I was born from part of Nightmare Moon souls from diferent dimentions, and they told me to tell you all true because you would not hurt innocent filly, so pleaseeee, do not hate me, do not send me to the moon, please ".

At those words, both Celestia and Luna started to get more confused, the just meet a Alicorn filly, who was unbelivably injured as result of Mind Slaver experiments only to get hit in the face with informations that this filly was born from soul parts of many Nightmare Moons from diferent dimentions, soo much informations at once and so little time to analize.

Celestia was first to ansfer when Luna was thinking this over " whoever you was born from, right now you are just a poor little filly who experienced nothink but pain and tortures, you are no treat to my kingdom, right now you are the one who need help the most, and I will do my best to help you "

At those words filly started to smile, meaby it was realy end of her nightmare " thank you " .

" Your welcome, now fell free to cry " Celestia said starting to hold filly in a hug only to get shocked by her ansfer " umm, I m afraid I can not cry, I was forbidden to do it. "

Celestia relased her from hug and started to watch Alicorn filly head closely, and than she noticed it, it was a small magic rune, the same rune what Mind Slaver use to control others, Celestia put everythink together " and I assume that he forbidden you from screaming in pain and ordered to attack my guads ", filly just noded, it was just like Celestia would remember him, after Mind Slaver betrayed her, she found out that he often use mind control to get so called test subjects, and since his experiments were painfull, he often ordered tham to not cry and scream, because even royal guard would cry sooner or later if left for to long with him.

Luna hearing this started to get more and more angry on Mind Slaver, when Celestia tryed to break mind control spell with her horn, it was impossible to break it when it was put on you, but other unicorn or alicorn could do it, that is how Luna freed her from mind control 18 years ago.

than to everyone supprice, Alicorn filly started to glow with dark aura and Ilusion of Mind Slaver showed himself in the same cell, Celestia, Luna, Guards and filly started to watch him with malice and anger, Celestia said " Yoooouuuuu, how dare you " just to be cut off " oh hello Celestia or Luna, before you will start to make fool of yourself by talking to me, let me asure you, I m just a message, so do not speak to me, you could as well talk to a wall ".

Celestia just started to stay in sillent, her anger growning, no matter in what situation she would meet Mind Slaver after his betrayal, she would alwais make fun of her, he was actualy very good at it.

" I quess that you or Luna or both of you noticed that, this almost useless test subject what stand in front of you, was created from Nightmare Moon, I am actualy supriced, I hoped you would just destroy it, save me the trouble, but it seems that you are still soft bubble gum as I remember you, good old times, anyway, just in case you would be foolish enoght to actualy try and free this filly from my control, well, I left a special present for you, as celebration of my future victory "

As Mind Slaver kept talking, aliforn filly was glowing more and more ' what is going on, why I am glowing like that, I do not fell to good ' , ' oh nooooo, nooo, hurry, tell everyone to run, there is no time ' Nyx and Nightmare Moon number 6 started to tell her in her mind to warn everyone.

" Run, hurry, you must run " said Alicorn filly, as she were glowing more and more, Luna started to watch filly as she kept saying to run, when Celestia was focused on Mind Slaver magic hologram.

"" You are probably wondering why this filly glow with dark aura right now, well, I will tell you, the reason she is glowing issssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss........., because she will selfdestruct thanks to my secret spell, have fun, bye "

After those very words, dark aura around filly went out of control, draining the rest magic she had into 1 big explousion, lucky princess Luna did not paid attention to to Mind Slaver hologram, she did not understand why filly wanted tham to run in time, but she did fast enoght to set up barrer around guards what were outside of prison cell.

Alicorns tend to be strong and have alot of magic power, but what realy made tham special was how much magic they could store, even magic inside filly alicorn, when almost fully drained was strong enoght act like a mini nuke, knocking Luna and Celestia unconscious, thanks to barrier, guards what were outside prison cell did not die, but once barrier broke, they were knocked out as well.

Now Alicorn filly was standing in heavy burned room, with 2 big Alicorns unconscious alongside with many guards, felling how live is escaping from her.

Even if selfdestruct spell did not damaged her directly, it drained so much magic, that with so little blood left in her, her heart started to work slower, she was getting sleepy, the very little magic she had left escaping from her, it was over, it was just a matter of minutes before she die.

Than suddenly 6 ponnys in royal guard armors, 2 Unicorns, 1 Pegasus, 2 Night Guards, 1 Earth Ponny, wearing weird 6 weird yewelrs, they looked around to see guards and both princess unconscious, than they eyes focused on her " Monster ", " Assasin ", " How, how could you do somethink that cruel ", " you are going down ".

They yewelrs started to glow, and filly remembered one of her dreams where those yewelrs banished her to the Moon,

" do I will ddd,,,,,, die here, or on ttt..... the mmmmmoon, does not mmmmatter any lllllonger, go ahead " said filly with pain in her voice, her eyes finaly crying after so long time, she was about to be banished to the moon and die, ' well, on the bright side, I will have nice view before I die ' filly closed her eyes as rainbow was heading her way.

Autor Note: Nyx is main character of fanfiction Past Sins, in this story half of her soul fragment was transfered into the filly alongside with many Nightmare Moon soul fragments.

Salvation

...

412 years after Nightmare Moon defeat, Moon, Canterlot dungeon.

...

They yewelrs started to glow, and filly remembered one of her dreams where those yewelrs banished her to the Moon,

Big rainbow rushed in her position and turned into tornado as it surrounded Alicorn filly, she felt it, she was dying, she was bying banished, she was ......... actualy, she was starting to fell better.

' What is this warm plesant fealing, do I m dying, do it is what bying dead fells like, well, it is actualy plesant ' filly thought to herself, as she felt a warm and plesant felling, the pain was gone, for the first time after 4 weeks of endless torture, she felt happy, calm, she started to fell weird emotions, she felt warm kindness, strong honestly, brave loyality, plesant generosity, recovering magic.

She than opened her eyes, only to see as rainbow is entering her body, her wounds gone, her horn, wings, hoofs fully healed, she felt better than ever. ' so I was not wrong, elements are not weapons, they are cure, they would never harm innocent filly ' said inside her head Nightmare Moon number 7, as filly with new hope in her heart smiled.

6 Element bearers waited for the elements to eradicate monster who tryed to kill princess, only to be shocked as rainbow went off leaving Alicorn Filly intact.

" what the buck is that ? ", " how is this possible ? ", " Elements never failed us before ! "," Is she immunite to tham "," Grab her ! "

After those words element bearers quickly captured filly who was to happy to be alive to notice tham until it was to late.

...

2 hours after mini nuke explosion, medical center in Canterlot Castle

...

Princess Celestia and Luna and some other guards were lying in hospital bads, as Celestia woke up, she started to look around, trying to remember how did she end up here " oh no, the guards, the filly, LINA ! " she said aloud jumping out of her bad, only for Luna to wake up, she looked around, and than at Celestia " what happened, Celly, last time I remember was, oh noo, filly " said Luna before jumping out of the bad.

" Luna, what happened to guards and filly " asked Celestia, worried, with fear about they fate, " I put a shield to isolate guards from the explosion, however I m afraid that filly, there is no way she could survive sush magic energy drain " Luna ansfered with sadness and guild, as there was nothink she could do, it was actualy ironical for her, she was worried that she could not safe Nightmare Moon.

Even after mini nuke, Celestia and Luna damage was low, the only reason they were out so long was because explousion took tham by suprice, in any normal battle, they would get right back up after it.

Celestia was first to teleport and Luna followed.

...

Dungeon, cell number 48

...

Celestia watched on devastated prison cell, she was relieved that Luna put shield in time to safe guards, but filly fate was to cruel, to die like this " Mind Slaver, do your cruelity have no limits ? ", Luna teleported herself behind Celestia, " I m right with you Celly, I understand your pain, it pains me greatly after what just happen, but we can not let it to break us, or else he will win " said Luna afraid that this entire show was organized by Mind Slaver to break they spirit.

Celestia was unable to say anythink, tears falling down on the flow, Luna was also crying, but she tryed not to show it, they did not noticed guard who entered this area.

" Your Highness Celestia and Luna, what are you both doing here ? you should be in hospital recovering ", said guard as he bowed.

Luna tryed to turn away from guard to hide that she was crying, when Celestia ansferd " we are alright, it may knock us out, but no serious injurys were made. "

" I m glad to hear it your Highness, after I hear that this monster, Nightmare Moon tryed to assasinate you, we were realy worried " ansfered guard, standing up from his bowing position.

It was clear that everyone would blame filly for assasination, if there was anythink she could do for her now when she is dead, it is to clear her name " please do not call her monster, she did not do anythnk wrong, she was used as time bomb by Mind Slaver, and now poor filly paid with her live for his prank :" Celestia said, serious, yet sad, not trying to hide tears.

" But she is alive ", said guard to be cut off by Luna " Whaaaaat ", guard continued, " from what I hear, right after explousion, Element bearers entered this room to deal with this mo.... I mean with this filly, blamming her for trying to assasinate you both, they used elements on her, but to everyone suprice, elements failed, filly was left intact, after this they captured filly and put her into prison with highest security, curently they are waiting for you both to get better so you can order her execution ".

After hearing this Celestia was gone in a flash, it will not be long before all guards start to call it alicorn teleportation day, since it is first time they saw princesses to teleport so much around the castle.

...

Underground dungeon, highest security

...

In a flash Celestia was standing in front off full batalion of Unicorns, Pegasus and Night Guards, many magical barriers and anty magic barriers set up around enchanted prison cell with one Alicorn filly with anty magical ring on her horn with alot chains around her body, every guards were in battle position as if this filly was a dragon or Nightmare Moon herself.

Luna as so far teleported behind Celestia only to see what Celly just saw.

" Your Highness, i asume you are felling better and you are here to order Nightmare Moon execution, we are on the positions and ready for your order " said capitan of the royal guard who saluted instead of bowing.

Unlike Shinning Armor who passed away long time ago ( not realy good experience for princess Cadence ), this stalion was Pegasus, his name was Diamond Wing ( yes, Diamond Wing, Steel Wing and Iron Wing are all family, every member of they family had wing in name and was member of royal guards for generations ), Diamond Wing became capitan of royal guards after thanks to his initiative, Pegasus batalion won big air combat again Griffons forces, unlike Shinning Armor who prefer defense tactic where high number of troops defend city behind walls under powerfull barrier, Diamond Wing prefered to ensure safely by total air domination, it was not long before he won another big battle, stoping changeling invasion in the air when element bearers defeated they Queen.

Celestia took closer look at now imprisoned filly, to her shock, she was fine, she was some small injuries, probably done from the guards, but all her cuts were gone, she once again had all hoofs, horn, wings and her mane was back.

Luna noticed it as well and quicly asked " Capitan Diamon Wing, the last time I and my sister saw this filly, she had unbelivable injuries all over her body, she should not even survive when selfdestruct spell was activated, how is this that she is now in so great condition ? "

Capitan thought for moment and than asnfered " meaby her injuries were fake, from what Element Bearers told me, they used elements to attack Nightmare Moon, but it did not worked, so they captured her and brought her here, I m sure it was all fake, but how she managed to withstand elements I have no idea, it is first time they even failed " he paused for a moment, and than said " Nightmare Moon who is immunite to elements is indeed a huge treat, she should be neutralized as fast as possible ".

Capitan than walked closer to prison cell, " Unitorn batalion, charge spell, prepear to open fire on my signal ",

After hearing it Luna and Celestia said in union " STOP ", after this capitan ansfered, " but princess, every secound we waste is extra time for her to strike, she is immunite to elements, we must strike now as long as she is weak "

Luna cut him off " YOU WILL DO NO SUSH THINK " with royal canterlot voice.

" Release this filly, thats an order " said Celestia with serious tone, but capitan did not thought of it as a good idea " Is Nightmare Moon or worse, Mind Slaver controling you again ? " capitan asked trying to search for mind control rune only to be pushed off Celestia head by Luna, " no one control us, capitan Diamon Wing, this filly is innocent, the explousion was result of Mind Slaver trap, and this poor filly was just his tool, now relase her "

It took some time and explaining before Pegasus and Unicorn batalion agreed to leave Celestia and Luna alown with filly what was just relased, only to be totaly supriced by filly smile, it was somethink they could not understand, this filly has endured 4 weeks of unspeakable torture, used as time bomb and attacked by Elements of Charmony only to be put into prison cell again, and now she was smilling, both Celestia and Luna thought in union ' seems no matter how old you are, you will never see everythink '.

...

Celestia bedroom, 20 minutes after, well, last event

...

Both Luna and Celestia were sitting in Celestia bedroom, watching as black Alicorn filly who looks almost like mini Nightmare Moon, is lying down on her bad, with smile what did not left her for last 20 minutes.

sillent was heavy, as none of 3 alicorns knew what to say, finaly Luna broke the sillent " so ummm..... how are you felling ? " Luna asked, than she facepalm in her mind, it was terrible question, this filly just experienced 4 weeks nightmare and was used as bomb, and the first you ask her is, how are you felling ?.

" I fell great, thank you for your concern " filly ansfered cheerfuly.

" You seems ..... realy happy, may I ask what make you smile ? " asked Celestia with warm, yet worry tone.

" oh, I m happy because I just went from hell into heaven " filly ansfered, her voice even more happy than before.

Luna confused more than before asked " can you please explain what you mean, little filly, and what happened you tho.. I mean your injuries, who heal tham :? "

" the elements healed tham, I was so worried that I will be banished to the moon just before I die, but instead they healed me, I never felt so happy from the moment I was born, it was so plesant " said filly before jumping into Luna, giving her a huge, before Celestia could tell anythink, filly jumped into Celestia, giving her huge on her face.

" The Nightmare Moons in my head told me everythink, that elements were used to save my live and heal me, so I can fell what friendship and love fells like, they told me that pain and tortures are over and that now I will live peaceful and happy live with you both, and that you will never banish me to the moon, oh I m so happy, and whats more, no one will ever call me useless test subject, oh no, fron now on I want to be called Nightmare Nyx, hehe, Nightmare because so many Nightmare Moons live in my head and Nyx because one of souls in my head want to be called Nyx, yes, from today my name is Nightmare Nyx, oh, I fell so excited that I would zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....... " and before they could say anythink, filly closed her eyes and started to sleep on Celestia head.

Slowly and arefully Celestia legitated black filly into her bead to not wake her up, and than walked out of bedroon, Luna followed.

One outside, Celestia and Luna started to watch one another, sillent for moment before Luna broke the sillent.

" Is, is this filly for real ? " Luna asked, as she could not belive what she just saw.

" Seems like it Lulu "

" What do we do now Celly " asked Luna with worry in her voice.

" What else, we will rise her " Celestia ansfered self-confident.

" Are you sure it will work out ? she said it herself that many Nightmare Moons live in her head, what if they will turn her again us in future, not to mention that elements do not work on her "

" Well, think about it, filly said herself that Nightmare Moon soul fragments live in her head because they asked her to tell the true, why would Nightmare Moon want to reveal herself if she wanted to strike again us " Luna just nod, Celestia continue.

" Whats more, why would elements not work on her, elements are not weapond, they fight again disscharmony, if elements healed this filly instead of destroying her, it mean that elements trust her, it is hard to explain, elements were alwais a mystery for us, but if they choice to save this filly, I mean Nightmare Nyx, than we should trust tham, after all, elements as well as they bearers never failed us before ".

Luna ansfered in confirmation " you have a point Celly, and whatever those Nightmare Moon soul fragments want, they sure stand up behind this filly, elements did not purge tham out, so meaby they do not wish us any charm, I agree wth you, lets give this filly home and peace she so much want ".

As Luna and Celestia finished talking to one another, Celestia went bak to her bedroom to sleep with Nightmare Nyx, and Luna went to her Night dutys.

...

Underground hideout close to everfree forest

...

Mind Slaver was wathing Celestia in his crystal, quite interested by events what just took place, " interesting, so for some reasons elements of charmony healed this filly instead of destroying her, and here I hoped I would broke Celly a little, oh well, I will have so much fun experimenting on elements once I take over "

After moment of thinking Mind Slaver said to himself ( he realy like to do it when he spy on Celestia ), " seems that I lost a very fun test subject, actualy, I think this is what I should call her, fun test subject, because I had alot fun experimenting on her, oh well, easy come, easy go, once I take over, I will have even better toys to do my experiments on, ' laught ', I can not wait Celly, I will have so muh fun with you, I quess since I will become Alicorn soon, I think I will let you keep your powers, and made you my nr.1 test subject for the rest of your live "

Than he started to watch into crystal ball, to see filly sleeping with Celestia " as for you Funny Test Subject, you did fine for my plans, as reward i will let you to have your little paradice for those 4 weeks, better use it well ", he than walked away from crystal ball into big hall.

As he went to big underground hall where he failed to summon army of Nightmare Moons, now he watched how his army of cult members are charging 16 artifacts, it is only 4 weeks left before immortality and power will be his, as he will walk the road of greatness.

Ch3 - Paradice

Nightmare Nyx Between Dimentions Adventure

Paradice

...

2 weeks later, Canterlot Castle ( 412 years and 6 weeks from Nigthmare Moon defeat by Twilight Sparkle ).

...

It has been 2 weeks since princess Celestia and Luna took care of a black Alicorn filly named NIghtmare Nyx, nothink was any more the same, normal live in Canterlot Castle changed into confusing mess.

Element bearers, guards and servants often saw little Alicorn filly running around castle halls, sometime talking or asking tham to play with her, it was rather confusing because on one side, everyponny already knew that she was created by Mind Slaver by accident when he wanted to summon army of Nightmare Moons, she was actualy created from soul fragments from 14 diferent Nightmare Moons.

Evil and scary monster what wanted to bring Eternal Night and become Queen of Equestria, who just 8 years ago invaded Canterlot and fought princess Luna and Celestia, now 14 parts of those monsters were running around the castle in body of small adorable filly.

No one could decide do they should fear her or not, she was just confusing, for example, she was often calm, nice and playfull, no one would ever think she would be a threat, but on the other side she was unbelivable honest, she did not hide anythink form no ponny, she was ready to tell full story about herself in great details, often spoke about Nightmare Moons in her head, she did not hide any good or bad intentions, everyone knew she was a monster, but how could they fear her, she was so honest, that if she would want to do somethink evil or take over Canterlot in future, she would tell everyone in advance.

Princess Celestia and Luna were confused as well, but they decided to ignore it and focused on playing with filly, teaching her magic, morals, feeding her, as Mother would take care of her child, and to they suprice, little filly was quite smart for her age, she already knew how to write, basics of magic, flying, whats more, Nightmare Moons inside her heads were also sharing some of they experience with filly.

For filly it was like to have 2 Mothers in real world, and 9 friends/teachers inside her head, and there were still 5 Nightmare Moons left to contact her, it was like paradice after leaving hell, filly wanted to take out of it as much as possible.

For Celestia, Luna and Guard Commanders those 2 weeks were not paradice, after all Mind Slaver was still there, and if what Nightmare Nyx said was true, Mind Slaver was prepearing to summon power of Nightmare Moons from other dimentions to change himself and his cult members into Alicorns.

They all failed to capture him by pass 8 years, he was just Unicorn, and yet he and his cult was always 2 step ahead, and soon he will become Alicorn, time was not on they side.

Right now princess Celestia and Luna were on meeting with royal guard capitan and commanders, and meanwhile Nightmare Nyx was reading a book in Celestia bedroom.

" So this is teleportation spell, very advanced and complicated magic I must say " said filly to herself during her reading.

' Oh, it require alot talent and practice to use it, but meaby I may be able assist ' said Nightmare inside her head.

' Realy, and how can you help ?, i read it over and over, and already tryed to teleport, but I not made any progress so far ' reply curious filly.

' Oh, it is quite simple realy, all soul fragments in your head mastered teleportation spell, and to be honest, I even upgraded it a bit, just close your eyes, and I will try to merge my experiene with you, all you need to do is to let those experience guide you' ansfered one of Nightmare Moons.

" Sounds good " said filly before closing her eyes, now focusing on images what start to fill her head, she fell a weird felling, like her mind and body now performed teleportation countless times so far, she just started to learn it and now she felt like she was using it alot.

Filly opened her eyes, charged her horn and in flash, she teleported, but she did not teleported just once, she actualy teleported on Celestia bed, than into throne room and than on the balcony. " what was that ? "

' Oh, just my upgraded version of teleportation, instead of 1 long jump what require long time to focus and alot mana, this is multy teleportation, it teleport you many times in short distance, it is very practical in battle since you can teleport fast, but you must be quick thinker, or else you will teleport in wrong place '

' Wow, so you can teach me all those cool stuff in so short time, what else there is you can teach me ? ' asked filly in hope to learn more spells with not much efforts from her side.

' Oh, do not think that it will be that easy my dear, it is true that our knowledge is yours, but I m afraid that sharing it with you is harder than you think '

' What do you mean ' asked confused filly

' Oh, thats very simple, realy, I and other Nightmare Moons in your head can teach you spells in no time, but you will forget tham realy fast unless you learn tham on your own, I m afraid that all I can do is to let you use spell, but you will need to learn it on your own '

' Oh, thats to bad, but on the other side, what is worth a cool spell if you learn it so easy ' thought filly with a bit dissapointment what turned into excitment in no time

' Oh do not worry dear, we will help you to learn many spells what you will not find in books, how is turning into a mist sounds ? far more efective and safe way to travel than using your wings or teleport, it will be so much help when you grown up if you ever decide to take Equestria Throne for yourself '

' Realy, how is turning into mist work, do you can see anythink since you have no eyes ? '

Tallk inside filly mind was interupted when she noticed how Celestia and Luna are on the way back to castle tower, " Celly, Lully, seems they are done with all they boring dutys and are comming back to play with me " said filly with excitement beofre she teleported back, Guards on duty under entrance to Celestia bedroom were captured by suprice as in flash filly was on guard head, before teleporting inside, " thats new " said guard before regaining his usual statue posture.

Nightmare Nyx was waiting inside bedroom waiting for Celly and Lulu to come, as the door opened " suprice " said filly before in flash teleporting on Celestia head, " were you supriced ? " asked filly as she watched in Celestia eyes, sitting on her nouse.

" Yes, I was supriced, and when did you learned teleportation spell ? " Celestia asked as she watched filly in the eyes.

In slash filly teleported back closer to her book " Oh, I did realy learned it yet, I tryed and tryed to do it as it is writen in this book, but I was failing again and again, so Nightmare number 2 gave me ability to use multiple teleportation, but she also said it is temporary and that I will need to learn it myself, oh and she also told me that one day she will teach me how to turn into mist, she said that it will be very safe way to run around, and that it will help me to assasinate you and Luna if I would even want to take over Equestria for myself when I grown up, it is so silly of her, since I would never want to do somethink so awful, oh and how was your day, did you had fun, or it was boring, I m sure that your dutys are boring " filly was cut off by Celestia.

" sssshhhh, hold your excitement Night Nyxie, I was with you only 2 weeks and you already remind me of element of laughter, oh, and what was that part with assasinating when you grown up ? " asked Celestia with curious expresion in her face.

" Oh, you not need to worry yourself about this, we already had a vote, 2 Nightmare Moons voted to take over Equestria once I grown up, but 7 were again it, so veto, I wont be taking over Equestria, and why should I, ruling country must be very boring, and I would hate to take someones freedom again they will, not after how it was taken from me " happy cheerful face for moment turned into sad expression as her memories came back to her, but than quickly turned her attention to somethink else.

" Seems fair " ansfered Luna, both Celestia and Luna got use to filly honestly, and open declaration that she wont be taking over Equestria, as weird it sounds, was a good sign, " anythink else what your little friends told you, what you wish to share with us ? " asked Luna, knowing exacly where it will lead too.

" Oh weeeeeeelllllll......., " said filly, as she pointed her hoof on Celestia, " 2 Moons said that your flank is huge and that you eat far too much chocolate cakes, and they call you fat, Moon number 2 said that you need to run more to get in better shape since you often walk so slow "

" Uhhh, I am not fat, and I do not walk slow, it is a regal walk, slow but gracefull " ansfered Celestia with annoyance in her voice, as Luna bursted into laughter.

' Tell her, keep telling yourself that ', " Moon number 1 just said, keep telling yourself that " what only make Luna laught harder.

" Anythink what those Moons said what not involve my weird or insult me ? " asked Celestia with serious tone, as she got tired of insults what Nightmare Moons were putting on her over and over.

" Well, Nyx said that you are beautiful, and that you should not take what other Moons say about you, and Moon number 3 said that you look realy nice and regal, even with all that extra weird, ups I forgot to not tell about weight jokes, sorry " said filly with puppy face.

" Well, at last Nyx seems to have some good taste " Celestia reply as she started to walk outside of her bedroom.

" Where are you going Celly ? it is middle of the night ", asked Luna as she was taking her tears away from her face.

" Just to do some night running to reflesh myself " ansfered Celestia as she walked out with haste, on those words Luna started laughting again.

' Finaly she decided to drop some weight, she just eat too much now when she is stresed up over Mind Slaver threat ' Nightmare nr 2 said in filly mind as she was cut by Nyx ' oh, give it a break, your jokes about her weirds are realy getting old ', ' hey you both, cut it out, I wanted to ask Celly to play with me, and now she is angry ' said filly in her mind to receive ' Sorry ' from some Moons in union.

" Hey Luna, can you play with me ? " asked filly as laughting Luna turned her face into her position " sure Nyxie " ansfered Luna as she watched Celestia from the tower, who now was practicing climbing up, " I will never get tired of this " said Luna as jokes about Celly weight were very entertaming, not to mention watching Celly running, climbing up and weight lifting almost every night in last 2 week, as no one would see her.

" What do you say we play cheerleaders Nyxie ? " filly just nod with smile, " Than lets cheer our Celly " said Luna as they both flew to join Celestia in her training, cheering her up, and later taking a nap on closer cloud.

" Hey Nixie, did you and your friends had fun today " asked Luna as she lie on cloud, " Oh, I had alot fun, and some of my friends too, but Moon number 1, 2, 3 and 4 have some complains "

" Realy, and what can this be ? " asked Luna with concern in her voice, whatever those Nightmare Moons would complain about.

" Well, Moon 2 and 4 was annoyed that we were cheering for Celly instead of shoting thunders in her fat flank, when Moon 1 and 3 hoped that we can prank her, mmmm...., I noticed that most of my friends realy hate Celly, I mean, I know that she banished tham for 1000 years to the moon, and they are realy angry about that, but it seems that only Moon number 7 and Nyx try to defend Celly " ansfered filly, only to make Luna even more Concerned.

" Realy, and why would Nyx and Moon number 7 try to defend Celly ?, did not they were banished to the Moon as well ? " asked Luna hoping to learn more about filly friends.

" I m not sure myself, they did not told me yet, but I will ask ? " said filly, after moment of sillent she ansfer, " Nyx said that she is sorry for banishing you and Celly for 2 week to moon and sun, and thankful that Celly and Luna not banished her to the moon after she freed tham, not to mention that they were kind for her as she grown up. "

" And Moon number 7 ? "

" Well, she said that she is veeery sorry for what she did, and she not want to tell anythink more, she sounds very sad, she must have some sad experience " replied filly, as Luna started to wonder what kind of sad experience this Nightmare would have to make her like Celestia.

Both Luna and Nightmare Nyx turned they eyes to Celestia, who was now stone sleeping on the cloud, it was actualy very adorable and rare view, " Can we prank her " asked filly as Luna blinked, " Let me quess, Moon number 1 and 3 ", on those words filly nod, as Luna started to have wide smile.

...

Next day in the morning.

...

Luna started to wake up from her sleep on the cloud, as she wonder how much time she have before moving the sun.

Celestia started to fly into castle tower where stand 2 guards, as one of tham fly to Celestia and inform her that it is already 1 hour after sun should rise.

As some ponnys gathered on the street to find out why sun is not up yet, Celestia summon her powers to move it, after she is done, she turn around only to notice guards and some ponnys on the street laughting at her, after a moment of thinking and looking around what they are laigting about, Celestia notice that half of her body is pink.

" LUUUUUUNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA " Celestia said with royal canterlot voice

...

1 week later, 1 week left before doomsday

...

Nightmare Nyx was curently playing into catch ponny tail with some guards and servants, 10 Pegasus guards alongside with 3 Unicorn and 2 Earth ponny servants were curently trying to find and catch Nightmare Nyx tail, what happened to be chalenge.

Nightmare Nyx was slower than trained pegasus, but her small size and many magic tricks made her worthy opponent, some of her spells what she learned and some what her Nightmare friends sahred with her for this gameplay.

One of the guards was about to catch Nyx by the tail, only to crash into wall, guard started to fell ashamed as he once again got tricked by simple ilusion, secound guard was following another Nyxie, but when he was about to catch her, in flash she teleported on his back, before he could turn around and catch her by tail, in another flash she was gone, and another guard crashed into wall.

One of unicorn servant from kitchen captured Nyxie with his magic and levitated her closer, as he was about to catch her by her tail, tail turned into mist, and so filly.

It took 1 full hour to finaly catch her, castle servants gave up 20 minutes ago, and only Guards had energy left to keep playing thanks to they hard training.

" huuh, huuuh, huuuuh, finaly, we won " said guard almost proud from doing somethink what seemed practicaly impossible, only to notice that filly was sleeping on the floor, " bucking apples " said guard as he noticed that his victory was only result of the filly going to sleep, " I will catch you next time, NEXT TIME " said guard as he was determinated to to win again her tomorow, as he slowly escorted Nyxie into Celestia bedroom.

Alicorns, even as fillys posses huge ammount of magic and energy, because of that Nyxie could play with guards and servants in this game for hours as she had arsenals of Nightmare Moon spells at her disposal, however she was using her energy and magic faster than she could recover it, as result, she started to get tired and went to sleep during her play, and it started to hurt Guards price as they failed to capture filly before she went to sleep inside the game.

...

3 hours later

...

" hey, little one, are you sleeping ? "

zzzzzzz.......

" are you sure you are not awake ? "

zzzzzzz,,,,,,,

" sleeping hard like stone, right ? "

zzzzzzz,,,,,,,

" well, in this case, CELLING IS FALLING ! "

" what, why, where ? " said Nyxie as she jumped out of the bed, looking all around, and than too see Night Guard.

" Where you supriced, were you, were you ? " asked bat wing pegasus with excitement, as filly tryed to find out what is going on.

" Totaly " ansfered filly as she started to smile, " DiscoBall, is that you, did you came to play with me ? " asked filly as bat wing ponny guard took out his Disco Luncher, it was actualy like missile luncher, but with disco in name to make it sounds more cool, and Disco balls or ballons as ammo.

Before filly could say anythink, DiscoBall shot Disco Ball into ceiling, and than group of other guards entered Celestia bedroom, seriously, only he could make party in Celestia bedroom, and convince other guards to participate in this dead wish party.

' I must say that I m not realy supriced, I quess making partys and bying random and unreasonable is part of character of every element of laughter ' thought Nightmare Moon number 2,

' he even have Disco Luncher, seems that not only PinkiePie have permission to use altilery, oh, I miss her so much ' thought Nyx,

' but to think that he would dear to make party in Celestia bedroom, bying Night Guard himself ' thought Moon number 1,

' well, I made some spying last night, it seems that he usually organize partys in Luna chambers, he probably organized it here to suprice us '.thought Moon number 7.

' You have a point there ' thought filly as she joined to the party what was organized for her.

During last 3 weeks, most of element users were shoting daggers to Nyxie from they eyes, as they did not trust her, after she almost killed many guards and hurt Celestia and Luna when Mind Slaver activated trap inside her, only Night Guard who represented element of Laughter and Earth Ponny guard who represented element of Kindness tryed to become her friends so far.

As much as DiscoBall was almost like PinkiePie, totaly random, doing impossible, organizing party and having licence for altilery.

Earth Ponny guard was diferent from Flutthershy, unlike Flutthershy, he did not liked animals more than awerage ponny, did not had Stare, and was not shy, instead he was good diplomat, talking kindly to other races, and even bying nice to changeling more than one inside battlefield, and after diplomacy failed, he was ready to give a punch, and once enemy was captured, he started to talk again.

So far no other guard managed to beat up DiscoBall recort in capturing Nyxie tail, what is still a 3 minute record, even now Nightmare Nyx have no idea how he did that, Nyxie was hidding under Luna statue, and before she knew it, DiscoBall was standing above her.

And so party went on before Celestia entered bedroom doing her very best to not trown guards into dungeons as DiscoBall was talking with her for 10 minutes about how fun part it was, but Celly knew that when it come to Element of Laughter, it is best to ingore all crazyness on the long roon.

...

5 days later, 2 days left before doomsday

...

Nyxie was curently practicing magic with princess Celestia, as Moons in her head gave her some advices, and it was fun.

Having friends was fun, not experiencing endless pain was fun, playing was fun, studing was fun, filly was happy in her little paradice, unaware that her vacation is slowly going to an end.

It is said that ignorance is Bliss, well, it was right in this case, when Nightmare Nyx had fun in last 3 - 4 weeks, Celestia, Luna, and Nightmare Moons inside fillys were worried about threat what is about to come, it was just a metter of time before Mind Slaver will start his invasion, and all Royal Guards attempts to find him were fruitless.

Celestia and Luna did not even tryed to help in searching, as Mind Slaver mastered spell what could hide everythink from Celestia and Luna, even normal unicorn or pegasus would have higher chance to find him than 2 princess.

Slowly however Nyxie started to notice increase of security, more patrols around castle, and group of archmages in royal library.

" ........., may i ask you a question Celly ", asked Nyxie, as Celestia was showing her details about healing spell, " Ofcourse dear, what is it " Celestia asked in calm and warm voice.

" mmmmmm....., lately I noticed more guards patroling castle, less guards have time to play with me, and even library where I often come to read is all time full of Unicorns in capse and robes, are they some sort of super Ponnys ? " asked filly with curiosity.

Celestia knew that sooner or later, she had to update Nyxie about danger they are in, she did not wanted to do it as long as she could, since it would bring up memories of 4 weeks pain and torture, but the time has come.

" Those Ponnys with capes are Archmages, Nyxie, they are most powerful Unicorns in Equestria, I called tham to protect Canterlot, so yes, I think you can call tham Super Ponnys "

" Realy ? it is so cool, I need to ask tham for autograph, but ummm, from what they are here to protect this city ? " asked filly now even more currious.

Celestia let sigh as she spoke in serious tone " from Mind Slaver ", on thsoe words Nyxie went stone, not even blink, " you have provided us with alot of very useful informations about his plans, sadly my guards failed to find his hideout, and if I remember corectly, you said yourself that he need 8 weeks to recharge those artifacts ", filly just nod her head in fear.

" It is just 2 days left before they are recharged, so I m putting Canterlot security on maximum level "

' It wont do, those security attempts are full of weakpoints ' said Nyx inside filly head, ' what do you mean Nyx '

For 3 minutes Celestia watched as Nyxie was thinking with closed eyes, Celestia was afraid that filly traumatic memorys would come back, but what she hear complitly shocked her.

" You must put anty transformation enchants on all windows and gates into this castle. "

" What are you talking about " asked Celestia, supriced, as she expected Nyxie to start crying, and instead she started to give her advices.

" Nyx told me that with shape shifting abilitys, Alicorn can transform himself into someone else, just like changeling, but Nightmare Moon dark power like turning into mist can be used to duplicate your own body, Mind Slaver can disguise himself as Royal Guard, or as many Royal Guards to infiltrate the castle and attack archmages in library "

On those words Celestia was shocked, how would this Nyx come out with sush plan, after all from all souls in filly head, Nyx was one of 2 who seems kind and calm, how could she come out with so sneaky plan " did that Nyx in your head is the one who thought our this sneaky tactic, or she just saw how someone else used it ".

" Actualy, she was the one who put this plan into action, she replaced Guards in training to sneak into castle, than she put all guards into sleep, as well as unicorns in library, defeat Celestia and banished her to the sun, and later defeated and banished Luna to the moon. "

As filly told Celestia how easy it was for Nyx to take over Equestria, only to free tham and give up her position as Queen, Nightmare Nyx started to point out alot of weakpoints in Canterlot defenses, as 2 Nyx and 8 Nightmare Moons started to point out all possible ways for Alicorns with they power to break defenses, and sharing ideas how to reinforce it

After listening to long lecture, Celestia was gone in a flash, as she started to gather her Guard Commanders and Capitan and reinforcing Canterlot defenses.

Commanders totaly shocked after they found out that they defenses could be so easy breach, started to reinforce tham as they lives depent on it, and to be honest, they lives realy depent on it.

Meanwhile Nightmare Nyx was left alown, as she went to her bed and started crying, as her bad memories started to come back, but what she realy fear, what she was realy sad about, it was that Mind Slaver would destroy her paradice, puting her once again into hell, as she will need to endure his experiments again.

...

Later that Night, Celestia Bedroom

...

It was already Night, and the guards were still working to eliminate all security weakpoints, it was not long for Luna to find out who point out all those weakpoints.

Celestia was also working hard to buff Castle defenses before going to sleep, so Luna decided to take this chance to talk to Nightmare Nyx before she would need to work on defenses.

As Celestia bedroom door opened, Luna entered to see Celestia bed wet, as well as very sad filly sitting next to it " I see you are worried Nyxie " said Luna with calm tone, " please tell Lulu what is eating thou. "

" Luna ? " filly turned her eyes into big black Alicorn, " I m scared, I m scared, Lulu, last 4 weeks were so fun for me, I was so happy, and soon it will be over ...... sniff ...... I do not want it to over. "

Luna thought for a moment, if Mind Slaver was about to turn himself and his cult into Alicorns, and than attack castle, she, her sister, and all they subjects carefree lives will be over, the comming battle is a battle that can not be lost no matter what.

" Please do not worry Nyxie, we will protect you " said Luna as she levitated filly into huge, " we and our guards will not let this big old meany villan charm thou ", " thou are safe ".

" Are..... sniff .... are you sure ? " asked filly still sad and full of fear

" Ofcourse, actualy, I want to thank you, I m very thankfu and proud of you " said Luna, huging filly even harder.

" You are proud of me, you are thanking me, what for ? I do not understand " said filly with fear replaced with confusion.

" You realy do not know ?, it was thou who warned us about Mind Slaver evil plans, you told us that he want to turn himself and his cult into Alicorns, you told us that he need 4 weeks to finish charging his artifacts for the ritual, and it were your friends in your mind who point out all weakpoints in our defenses as well as advices how to reinforce it, if someone deserve a big thanks, it is thou, and as much as I hate to say it, I want to thank your friends inside your head " said Luna with Royal Canterlot Voice, holding Aliorn filly in her hoofs.

After a moment, Nightmare Nyx recovered from sush loud speech " thanks Lulu, also some of my friends want to say 'Your Welcome' ".

After cheering up Nyxie, Luna went to help with defense preparation, in the meanwhile, Nightmare Moons and Nyx inside filly mind offered her quick self defense training, what filly accepted, if she was going to back to this nightmare, she as going by fighting.

...

doomsday - the final battle

...

Exacly 1 hour ago, Celestia noticed a big magic eruption near everfree forest, as she watched this even with her telescope on her tower balcony, she noticed that Mind Slaver hideout was underground, to her suprice, it was not to far from Ponnyvile, and than she saw him, but he was diferent, he was not big black male Alicorn, the time for the final battle came.

Guards were patroling entire area from air and ground, shield was set up almost as strong as it was on Canterlot wedding 409 years ago.

Element bearers, Princess Luna, Princess Celestia and entire army of Royal Guards were now waiting for incomming attack.

Nightmare Nyx wanted to help, as for her dying in battle was far better fate than becoming Mind Slaver experiment toy, but Celestia and Luna refused and locked her in dungeon under heavy protection, but it was not punishment, dungeon was at the moment the safest place, and also last place for enemy to search.

As Celestia and Luna watched area waiting for attack,

BOOM

Sudden explousion took place in west side of Canterlot Castle, Luna and Celestia quickly moved to that area, so see how 50 Pegasus Guards were fighting 3 damaged black alicorns, however, those Aliforns were size of normal Royal Guard, and they power level was faaar smaller than Celestia and Luna.

After 3 Alicorns were captured, sergeant White Feather reported that those 3 Aliicorns went here disguised as Royal Guards, however security enchantments activated the moment 3 Guards entered castle ground and send wave of magic paralizing intruders.

It took only 2 minutes before more explousions took place in diferent parts of the castle, whats more, there was a battle in Canterlot Caves where 8 medium black Alicorns were captured in special trap.

20 minutes later Unicorn guards reported about capturing 30 changelings, all brainwashed.

In next 10 minutes 20 brainwashed diamond dogs were captured in underground trap as they tryed to dig they way into capital.

In next 15 minutes Celestia and Luna quickly went into 2 diferent areas where more traps activated, only to enter into a combat again more black Alicorns who tryed to detonate explosive materials what would at best start rock avalanche on the city, at worse cut Canterlot city off mountain wall.

Lucky thanks to magical traps and low number of supriced enemys, battles end up only with low number of wounded guards with no death so far, as for enemys, captured Alicorns were escorted into dungeon enchanted cells.

" How are you holding up Luna ? " asked Celestia, breathing heavy, " I .... am ... fine Celly huh, huh, and you ? " reply Luna also tired of battles.

" Could be worse, but I will be alright ", Celestia lie down on the ground " it has been many years since I had to fight so much, but it seems were are winning " said Celestia with relieve.

" Yes, we will need to thank those Nightmare Moons for all those advices, without tham Canterlot would be in ruin already, but I still can not belive it Celly, they tryed to cut entire city from the Mountine, sending hundreds of Ponnys into death " Luna said as her anger rise.

" But we prevent it, huh, we stoped all sneaky attacks, now all there is left is to repel frontal attack, and this time we must capture him for sure " Celestia said with determination as Luna nod.

...

Meanwhile in dungeon cell prison

...

" Let me out, let me out " screamed Nightmare Nyx, as she tryed to tackle cell bars.

" I m afraid we can not do this, we have direct order from Celestia and Luna to keep you safe until threat is over " ansfered first guard as secound one continued, " just be patient little one, it will soon be over ".

' Fools, they are fighting lost battle, if we stay here we will share they fate ' thought Moon number 4, ' are you saying that we should run and abandon tham ? ' asked Moon number 3, ' we should be there and fight as well ' coninued Moon number 2, ' It is suicude, we are not strong enough to fight tham, actualy we are to weak to afect the battle ' thought Nyx, ' We should steal Luna power, her magic is familiar to ours, with it we would be able to fight off the invaders ' gave a indea Moon number 5, ' no, no stealing, now please calm down, I m getting headache from your arguing. '

BOOOOOM

BOOM

BOOOOM

" what is going on up there ? " asked guards as more explousion and even small earthquake.

BOOOOM,

Explousion just made a big hole in dungeon wall, as medium black Alicorn entered the room

" Hold it right there " said Earth Ponny guard as he rushed into Alicorn when other guard started to charge his horn before shoting fire ball into intruder.

Fire ball was however reflected by Alicorn shield as well as Earth Guard body slam, Alicorn than lowered his shield only to hit Earth guard with electrick attack from his horn, than he levitated Earth Guard closer only to kick him with full strenght in the head,

Unicorn guard shot 2 more fireballs but they did not hit target as Alicorn teleported, than in flash he appeared in front of Unicorn Guard and stab him with his horn.

Alicorn filly watched in horror as 2 Guards were killed in front of her eyes, after what Alicorn started to walk closer to Nightmare Nyx, " By order of Master Mind Slaver, you are comming with me, ressst, and you will suffer.

BOOM

Cell room was blown up with all enchantements, , now Alicorn filly was standing in battle position in front of medium black Alicorn,

" Over my dead body " said filly as she shot 2 electrick bolts into enemy, but they were reflected, " have it your way ", said medium size Alicorn as he focused and shot ball of dark energy.

BOOM

Medium size Alicorn was supriced as there was nothink left of black filly, he did not notied that small dark mist was forming on his back " you want to do this the hard way, we will do this the hard way " said filly as she tryed to shot another electrick bold into Alicorn back, only to lose focus as she started to fell weird.

" What is going on, I do not fell to well, uhhh, someponny, please, help, anyponny " screamed filly as pain and power rushed into her body.

To her suprice, medium size black alicorn started to turn into mist, slowly absorbed into her body, as more mist went into her, she started to grown, until what was left was normal unicorn with Pupper Master cult cape.

She was no longer a filly, she was now the size of awerge ponny, ' perfect, it make so much sense now ' said one of Moons in her head, ' what do you mean ? ' asked currious Nightmare Nyx.

' Oh, it is simple, that bastard Mind Slaver summoned 14 soul fragments with minimal ammound of power, and now I belive that he did not summoned more soul parts, instead he summoned pure magic and power into his cult members, the same magic you was created from, that is why you can absolb it. '

' Realy, so this mean that I can fight tham, can I realy help ? ' asked filly with hope and excitement in her mind.

' More than just fight little one, now we can get our REVANGE again that bastard, lets go and relase our WRATH .'

...

Canterlot castle battleground

...

Barrier around city was destroyed, big battle raze all around, many houses are burning, some guards dead and some are Injured, as medium sized black Alicorns are fighting again Royal Guards.

In the middle of the battlefield, stand Celestia and Luna, observing battle with horror and malice in they eyes, as Mind Slaver was standing right in front of tham, but not as Unicorn, he was standing in front of tham as full grown black Alicorn, fearsome artifitial Arcade sword levitating around him.

" Oh, you have no idea how long I have waited for this day, for this very moment, when I stand in front of you as superior Alicorn, your Kingdom under my hoof, and your very lives at my mercy, now than, if you wont ressist, I turn you both into high class test subjects, oh, who am I kidding, ofcourse you will ressist, but it will just make this more fun, my Alicorn Killer just can not wait to have it is first taste of blood " said Mind Slaver before laughting like madponny as big shinny sword is ready to attack.

Barrier around city was destroyed, big battle raze all around, many houses are burning, some guards dead and some are Injured, as medium sized black Alicorns are fighting again Royal Guards.

" Thou may become Alicorn, but thou are just a child who took power he would never understand, you just stolen power when we were born and grown up with it for thousands of years, experience and winsdom is on our side " ansfered Luna prepearing for battle and charging her horn.

" Pffff, said immature little sister what was banished to the moon because, oh oh, I m so angry, the little unimportand ponnys do not watch my night, they do not show me any respect, booo whooo, you know, usualy jealous filly paint on wall or kick vase, and than parrents at best ground her in her room for day or two, but you both just broke any records, to think the little sister would want to doom Kingdom in eternal night, and older sister would ground little sister on the moon for 1000 years, when you both do somethink, it sure is big " reply Mind Slaver with his usual excitement, trying to annoy Luna, and it worked, Luna was changing color from black to red from rage.

" How dare you speak like that of my sister, what happened back than was all Nightmare Moons fault, I and my sister suffered everyday for 1000 years, and you talk about it as it was just a prank, with every world you are just asking me to turn you into ash. " tension grown up in the air.

" Oh, did I hit a soft spot, I am so sorry, please do not turn me into ash, ' laught ', oh, it is so much fun to tease and prank you, normal mortal like me pranking and outsmarting godness like you, oh the look on your face, priceless, heh, you are getting old Celestia, and your sister is totaly outdated "

......................

" What, no ansfer , or meaby you just can not admit that I m right, haha, just face the true, experience, winsdom, pfff, only what you learned by past 2000 years was how to rule Kingdom, making decysions, making others do everythink for you, moving sun around the sky, day by day, lately you even became so useless and naive that you have to rely on others to safe your Kingdom and your sorry flank "

Mind Slaver turned to Luna, " and you little princess, I m supriced that you are still sane after spending 1000 years on the moon, and to think you was the smart one, well, to bad you are 1000 years behind modern Equestria " after saying that, Mind Slaver took more intimidating posture, anger on his face.

" By pass 18 years I learned alot, my experiments made me strong, my cunning let me outsmart you both with easy, and I gained far greater power with my own hoofs than you both were born with ........, you are very soft and useless Celestia, all you can do is talk and make others do your job, but behind kind princess full of winsdom is just a lazy royal ponny, why else you would let those royality worms keep all money and power as they were doing nothink, all useless ponnys deserve nothink better than death, and you Luna, you was alwais smart and free spirit, and yet in reality you are just immature filly with no charisma at all, I thought that meaby your mind can be chalenge for me, sush dissapointment, ........... I will unite Equestria and entire world under my Iron Hoof, I m smarted and more powerful than you two, and just imagine the power and knowledge I will gain by doing experiments for hundreds of years ........ IT IS TIME FOR A WORTHY ALICORN KING TO REPLACE TWO WEAK AND NAIVE PRINCESS "

Arcade sword dashed into Celestia head, Celestia tryed to set up barrier what was easy penetrated by sword, as shield broke, Celestia quicly jumped left evading attack. " Celly, watch out " screamed Luna as she pushed Celestia just before sword hit her back.

Celestia and Luna ansfered by creating they own arcade weapons, Celestia created long yellow sword with white aura, when Luna created 2 small black knives with dark aura. " You understaminate us, alow us to show you what we are realy capaible off " said Luna as she teleported behind Mind Slaver, 2 Dark Knives levitated into Mind Slaver back, yet not doing any damage.

" hhh.... HOW ? " aksed Luna stepping back from her enemy.

" Oh please, did you realy thought I will leave myself with a weakpoints, phatetic " he said levitating his sword and hitting his own body only to not do any damage at all.

" I learned quite alot by testing Arkade weapon on my useless test subject, knowing full well that it would damage my body greatly once I become Alicorn myself, I did some experiments on my cult members to research a way to defend again it, ' laught ', the ansfer was so simple, I just had to fuse dragon scales with my body, dragon scales are hard enoght to stop arcade sword, as it isolate my skin and mana from attack, ' mad laught ', and to think for hundreds of years you both did not even thought about researching a way to defend again it, now do you understand what make me superiour, unlike you, I do not waste time, " with those words, Mind Slaver pressed his attack again Luna, hiting her knives with his sword.

Luna tryed to gain some space by shoting 3 bolts into his opponent, first 2 bolts hit him, but last one was reflected by his shield, meanwhile Celestia was charging her horn for heavy attack, after 10 secounds she shot sunbeat into Mind Slaver back, to her suprice, Mind Slaver teleported Luna in the line of fire, only to trown Luna into Celestia, " Celly, Celly, Celly, your tactic is alwais so boring and predictable, did not you learned anythink from battle again Chrystalis 409 years ago ? LEARN SOME TACTIC ! "

" Stop playing dirty, you say over and over how superior you are to us, and yet you are afraid to fight us without cheating ! " said Celestia, angry after he used her sister as shield, but also trying to provoce his opponent to lose his guard.

" Pffff..., in love and war, all tricks are alowed, only loosers blame they failure on lack of fairness " Mind Slaver smile grown as he wave his hoof, pointing into Royal Guards who are fighting his cult members, " meaby if you would decide to spend some time to actualy train with your guards and learn how to fight, than you would stand a chance, oh, but why should a Regal Royal princess like you make your hoofs dirty, you are too GOOD fro that, why to train your body to efectively protect your subjects if you have faaar weaker and less durable guards to risk they lives to do it "

As much as Celestia wanted to ignore those words, there was truth in tham, it is true that after she banished her sister, she did not had time to train herself in battle, since she had sun, moon, and weak Kingdom to lead, but times were much more peaceful back than so she never need to fight, instead she learned more about how importand fellings and friendship is, and how to lead her subjects with kindness, but pass 412 years were full of threats and events where she would realy help if she knew how to fight, why it was so hard for her to learn how to fight, to not play regal royal princess ?

" Meaby my sis is too concerned by her personal image, but I not, I learned how to fight with my Night Guards and you will experience it the hard way " said Luna as she stood up, small burn from Celestia attack on her back, she was gone in a flash to appear left to Mind Slaver, than she was gone again to appear behind him, than she was gone again to appear on his right, more and more she teleported, and after 30 secounds, Mind Slaver was surrounded by 50 black Alicorns, as they shot electric bolt into him.

Mind Slaver set up barrier around himself, only to break as 2 dark knives lefitated into it, how could he forgot that arcade weapons were till extremaly efective again magic barriers, 50 electric bolts were hitting him, and than another and antoher 50, but he felt that he was hit just by 1 bolt, one by one, " Ilusion spell, impressive "

Mind Slaver focused magic into his horn, dark aura started to become stronger as he ignored electric bolts hitting his body, and than relased powerful dark wave what destroyed all ilusions, and than dark energy started to follow real Luna, " found you " Mind Slaver said as he wave his big wings, and rushed into air with his sword into Luna direction.

Luna was cornered, from behind dark energy was following her, and in front was Mind Slaver with arcade sword, about to cut her in half, luna smiled.

SLASH

Sword passed Luna as she turned into mist and went behind Mind Slaver, and since dark energy was following her, it hit Mind Slaver in crossfire, than Luna materialized her Arcade knives, and aimed damaged parts of his body.

STAB

Mind Slaver was send into ground, aas he scream in pain but quickly recovered as he land on his 4 hoofs, than quicly dodged another solar beam, " huh, huh, huh, hahahaha, I forgot that you can do that ", now bouncing in excitement.

" I alwais loved to prank Celestia for fun, it was my next favorite think after experimenting, but I also enjoy chalenge, I was almost dissapointed that my enemies were so naive, I even lost my hope in you Luna, and now so nice comeback. "

" YOU WONT BE SMILING WHEN I AM DONE WITH YOU " said Luna in Royal Canterlot Voce, as she charged her horn and cast huge gravitation field around Mind Slaver.

Heavy, so heavy, it was like having 100 ton rock crushing his back, Mind Slaver was pinned to the ground " Now Celly " said Luna as Celestia finished charging her horn for a powerful spell.

Bit Solar Flare burned everythink on ground where Mind Slaver was pinned down by huge gravity, only to see orange barrier around him, barrier strong enoght to withstand Solar Flare, Celestia levitated her Arcade sword to break shield, only to see no one inside. " Celestia, behind you " scream Luna, as Celestia turned around " BOOOO " said Mind Slaver, Celestia shoting fireball into him, but it passed by ' it was Ilusion ' thought Celestia, when she hear loud scream, she turned her eyes to Luna only to see how she was backstabed by Mind Slaver.

Luna was falling down, when Mind Slaver was about to cut off her horn, but it miss as Luna was gone in flash, to appear next to Celestia, " please, stand up, there is no time for rest " said Celestia desperatly as she was healing Luna wound.

Mind Slaver was about to press the attack to gain his victory, only to notice a battle in distance " what's that ? my army should already pacify the city ", curious, he teleported to see who dare to still resist his unstopable army.

Luna slowly recovered from attack, as both Luna and Celestia turned into battle in distance, as they had a bit of time to catch a breath, they thought how could they fail so badly.

...

Flashback

...

Many disguised cult members and brainwashed changelings were captured thanks to magic traps, attack forces from canterlot caves failed, brainwashed diamond dogs were captured as they tryed to dig tunel under magic barrier into city, and explousive materials were defused, all thanks Nightmare Moon advices, as they point out many ways how they would penetrate defenses to take over Canterlot.

But when sneaky tactic fail, frontal attack camse, and it is when everythink was lost, Mind Slaver as full grown up black Alicorn with army of Alicorns with size of averge ponny dive bomb Canterlot shield from above, shield somehow managed to withstand the assault, only to be penetrated by ALicorn Killer, Mind Slaver arkade sword, as he created hole in barrier, he and his army blitz Canterlot Castle from above.

Capitan Diamond Wing lead Pegasus forces to face invaders in air combat, when Unicorn guards were acting like AA guns from behind castle walls.

The plan was simple, Royal Guards mission was to hold up enemy army, when Celestia and Luna would distract they leader until Element Bearers would ambush him, without leader, there would be no one to control army and battle would be won.

But for some reasons Element Bearers did not came, Luna and Celestia were afraid that they are already died, but could not check or assist since they had to fight Mind Slaver.

...

Flashback end

...

Royal Guards already wirthdraw into the Castle, so Luna and Celestia wondered, who was fighting attacking forces at the moment.

As they analized the situation, they decided to teleport into fighting scene and assist whoever is fighting there.

As in flash Celestia and Luna showed up, as they look around, they lip drop, suprice, confusion, fear struck tham, they made few steps back, on they left was Mind Slaver, watching the scene as well, very interested and amused.

In front of tham many averge pony size black Alicorns were attacking, Nightmare Moon, fully grown up Nightmare Moon, the same armor, size, dragon eyes, everyone confusion grew, as she jumped on one of invaders, as he turned into mist and went into her, leaving unconscious cult member.

Alicorn army noticed the fate what await whoever touch her, as they kept they distance and shot barage of fire, ice and electric projectives into her direction.

Nightmare Moon turned into mist, dodging projectives, as she rushed close to another alicorn and absorb his power, others quicly grabed her into telecinetic field, immobilizing her, as other Alicorns shot they projectives injuring Nightmare Moon.

After charing they horns, another barage of projectives went into immobilized Nightmare Moon.

BOOM

Slowly smoke went down, as big purple barrier was around Nightmare Moon, but it was not any ordinary barrier, it was a bit diferent, instead of big purple ball, it was more like puzzle fragments added together with many glowing lines on it, in a moment shield broke into fragments what levitated into Alicorns around with high speed, once shield fragment hit Alicorn, it changed into some sort of purple magic chain around wings and hoofs.

Many immobilized Alicorns were slowly levitated into Nightmare Moon direction, however somethink was diferent, Nightmare Moon armor and apperance CHANGED, instead of small silver shoes she had very long silver armor, instead of silver helmet and blue mane with stars in it, she had violet mane with no stars without helmed, and in front of her neck she had sort of silver shield with purple crystal insted of blue neck guard.

Immobilized Alicorns were slowly levitated closer and closer, other ones did not wait long before they pressed they attack again to free they comrades, but they projectives missed again as Nigthmare Moon in new armor turned into mist into many directions, evading projectives.

Than mist started to turn into many Nightmare Moons, and before 48 black Alicorns were standing 24 Nightmare Moons, they all rushed into immobilized black Alicorns and absolbed they powers, the rest of black Alicorns flew away in panic, they had order to fight Royal Guards without fear, but Nightmare Moon was not royal guard member so panic quicly struck cult members.

As they flew away and formed behind they master, 24 Nightmare Moons formed together into one even bigger than before, it seems that battle again cult army cost her many injuries, but absorbing they powers, Nightmare Moon grown up in power and half of her injuries already heal.

Mind Slaver was not angry on his servants for retreating, he sas that it was a lost battle, no matter how high damage they would do to Nightmare Moon, she would recover and gain even more power by just absorbing tham one by one, meanwhile 24 Nightmare Moons gathered together to return once again to silver armored mare, as her head turned into Mind Slaver, determination and anger on her face, horn charging up.

Powerful magic aura formed around Nightmare Moon, presure of magic power was heavy in the air, rubble and even small stones started to bounce all over the place, a big dark, purple and light colored magic energy started to form somethink in front of Nightmare Moon, more and more power went into it.

FLASH

In a big flash, very long Lance appeared in front of Nightmare Moon, it was indeed a Arcade weapon, but unlike Luna and Celestia ones what were formed up quicly, this one was formed from huge ammount of magic, almost as high as magic what he put into Alicorn Killer.

Clap ' clap ' clap " Impressive, I, I do not know what to say " after a pause, with praise in his voice, " you indeed deserve to be called Queen of the Night and Nightmares. "

" AS DEFENDER OF EQUESTRIA, I officialy accuse you of commiting multiple crimes again Ponykind, Equestria, Canterlot and defensless little filly, you became princess Celestia personal student only to betray her, it is your 3 th. time you try to take control over Equestria, you put your hoofs again royality, took lives from countless guards and innocent ponies, enslaved and controled ponies again they will, study and experiment prohibited arts, tortured many ponies in your experiments, as one of tham was little innocent filly ! " after a pause as Nightmare aimed his spear on Mind Slaver, her face focused and determinated.

" Surrender yourself and your army, relase everyone from your mind control, and accept judgement and punishment what will await you, if you submit, you will be given mercy and fair trial, if you refuse, I WILL SLICE YOU OR BRING YOU TO JUSTICE BY FORCE.".

Clap ' clap ' clap ' clap ', " Sush impresive speech, sush power and determination, perfect focus and self control, are you still Nightmare Moon ? or you are some sort of paladin from the future " asked Mind Slaver with joke, as Alicorn personality was totaly diferent from Nightmare Moon he captured and used 8 years ago.

" My name is Nyx, defender of Equestria, even thought I m just a soul fragment inside innocent filly you created and tortured, I wont stand aside and let you charm any more innocent Ponies, now i will ask once more, will you stand down and surrender ? or will you resist ?, this is your point of no return, so choice wisely " asked Nyx, his weapon and wings ready to rush to attack any secound.

Mind Slaver just raised his hoof and pointed into damaged house where Nyx noticed ponies trembling in fear, " go ! ", on this command, 24 medium sized Alicorns rushed into they directions, full speed, horns charged.

Nyx quicly flew into house direction with huge speed trying to intercept the attackers, Lance by her side, with her charged horn, she set up purple barrier around house as 24 Alicorns shot they profectives, as strong as those attacks were together, they failed to penetrate shield, Alicorns were about to rush shield in frontal attack when

STAB

SLASH

in 8 secounds, 24 Alicorns Wings were stabed by Lance, 3 Alicorns each secound at a time, as they crashed into ground.

After this Nyx turned into 24 copies of herself, absorbed all power from cult members, and united, now little bigger Nyx aimed her lance at Mind Slaver, rage on her face, adrenaline flowing in her body, " You was given a chance and you wasted it, sush a pity ........, than I have no choice, I WILL SHOW YOU NO MERCY, unconscious or dead, you are going down " said Nyx as she attacked Mind Slaver with huge speed.

Mind Slaver quicly shot dark arrow into charging Nyx, however it was reflected as Nyx set up shield around himself, Mind Slaver levitated Alicorn Killer into Nyx penetrating shield, however Arkade sword did not hit Nyx as she was in Mist form, and to Mind Slaver suprice, barrier broke but not dissapeared, around him was now floating 20 barrier fragments, supriced he failed to dodge as shield fragment started to crush him, one of barrier fragments land on Alicorn Killer immobilizing his weapon.

Nyx in mist form turned back into Alicorn as he levitated his Lance aimed into Mind Slaver, " Go ahead and attack, it wont wo... " he stoped talking as Nyx pointed her hoof into air, where one of her copy was flying down with huge speed, apperantly she set up one clone to observe entire situation from the air, and it was sending her all informations about battlefield, she already used that trick once as some of her clones were scouting area when she was fighting off army of monsters what invaded Ponnyvile back in her world.

Clone of Nyx was flying into Mind Slaver with huge speed, as she broke sound barrier, creating sonic rainbom, however it did not had rainbow color, it was more like dark/blue wave.

Mind Slaver tryed to fly away or teleport, but shield fragments were holding him in place, and other Nyx set up anty teleportation shield around him, he tryed to levitate his sword, but it was hold in place by Nyx lance.

As clone of Nyx hit Mind Slaver with incredible speed, strengthened with dark energy on her horn, Mind Slaver scales broke off his body, and at this very moment Nyx hit him with Lance under his neck, and than kick away with her hoofs.

...

Battle from Luna and Celestia perspective

...

Celestia and Luna watched in awe, as Nightmare Moon defeated and absorbed powers from 48 cult members, it is true that they were size of average pony, they power, magic and energy reserves as well as duribility were faaaaar weaker than fully grown up Alicorn, after all, Alicorn power is growning with age.

They weakpoints were: lack of training and experience, as learning to control so much power, especialy in battle require alot time and training, whats more, they did not had Arcade weapon, nor they knew advanced spells, they were just random ponies, some even not even unicorns, turned into Alicorns for magic, strenght and duribility boost, yet, in numbers they would easy defeat full grown Alicorn.

After they watched as Nightmare Moon absorbed powers of last 24 cult members, it hit tham, it seems that they little Nightmare Nyxie somehow encountered and absorbed power from one of cult members, and so he rushed to fight again tham.

Both Celestia and Luna started to look in each other eyes, " Is that Nightmer Nyx ? or Nightmare Moon ? " asked Luna in confusion as Celestia ansfered, " I do not know Luna, i realy do not know ? " ansfered Celestia confused as well.

" Should we help her ? " asked Luna, as it is good opportunity to defeat Mind Slaver, on the other side, Nightmare Moon may turn on tham.

" I ..... I am not sure, and what if she will attack us " ansfered Celestia,

On one side it would be best to let two of they enemys fight one another, and in the end defeat winner, and if they will go to help Nightmare Moon, she may backstab tham or attacked tham with Mind Slaver help.

On the other side, if she is still Nightmare Nyx, a filly they spend last 4 weeks, helping her would be best option.

Both Celestia and Luna were observing this battle with amazement, trying to determinate do Mind Slaver and his troops were fighting again Nightmare Moon, or Nyxie.

After 2 minutes they noticed that Nightmare changed her armor, absorbed power from 24 cult members and created arcade weapon, a long silver Lance, for moment they were stuned with sush display of power, than they noticed as 24 Alicorns all together rushed into one direction, after watching closely, they noticed group of ponies hiding in damaged house, in this very moment Celestia and Luna dashed with full speed to intercept, than Celestia got an idea, as she charged her horn and teleported herself and Luna into house.

They were about to levitate scared ponies out of the house, when they noticed how fire, ice and electric spells shot in they direction, only to be blocked by purple barrier.

After barrier went down, Celestia levitated ponies into safely when Luna was watching how 24 Nightmare Moons absorbed power from 24 Alicorns as they wings were damaged, Luna asumed they were hit by lance.

Once group of ponnies were safe, Celestia flew back to Luna side only to notice somethink what looks like sonic rainboom, or in this case sonic darkwave would be better term, as Nightmare Moon clone hit immobilized Mind Slaver, and next direct hit from Lance and than hoof kick in the face what would put Applejack or even Big Mac kick into shame, well, meaby not Big Mac, but Applejack for sure.

" What just happened " asked Celestia as she wondered what she miss, " Nightmare Moon just outsmarter him, I mean, I also managed to trick him this one time, but Nightmare was 2 steps ahead, " said Luna, praising Nightmare for her great tactic.

" I wonder ..... she just saved those ponies from enemy attack, I think Nyxie is on our side " pointed Celestia into group of ponies she just took away from the battle zone.

" Agree, we already wasted to much time doing nothink, lets help Nyxie " said Luna only for Celestia to Nod, as they both took into air.

Celestia and Luna were flying to help they ally as Nigthmare Nyx stood in front of Mind Slaver, it was almost as they were talking, and than Celestia and Luna stoped as they noticed that Nightmare Nyx armor is changing, all silver armor was gone, and instead she once again looked like Nightmare Moon.

Slowly Nightmare Moon turned around and started watching tham with vicious smile on her face, and than she started laughting, and it was a creepy laught, Celestia and Luna made few step backs, when Nightmare Moon made few step foward.

" Nyxie ....., is that you ? " asked Celestia, with fear that it is no longer her.

" Oh, I m terribly sorry to dissapoint you Celestia, but Nyxie is not awaible at the moment ", after small pause, " actualy, now that I think about it, she will be avaible like, NEVER ", said Nightmare Moon with a hint of anger.

" What ? ", asked Luna in suprice, " but she was just now fighting, what did you do with her ? " even more anger in her voice.

" You are joking, you are joking right ? you realy thought that this little cowardly filly would be the one fighitng ?, no my other half, it was actualy Nyx, as she tryed to play HERO, so we let her play her little role, but I m afraid that Nyx and Nightmare Nyx are in no more use for us ".

" Wait, but if it was Nyx who took control and fought Mind Slaver and his army, than where is she now, and you still did not ansfered what happened to Nyxie ? " asked Celestia as she tryed to find out what happened with tham.

" Oh, you are that ignorant Celly, fine, if you can not see the true, I will give you the true, Nyx and Nyxie are no longer with us, they played they role, and so we got rid of tham, "

" Bbb... but why, we thought that you cared for the filly, did you realy just ...., but why ? " asked Luna with fear in her voice as poor filly would be already dead so that Nightmare Moons would take over her body.

" You realy belived that we cared about the filly, oh well, I wont blame you, we are indeed very cunning, but no, we did not care about her, we just used her, as long as we need her, our orginal plan was to live inside filly and gain your and and Celestia trust, and when she grown up, take control and take what is rightfully ours, "

On those words Celestia and Luna took fighting position and charged they horns, as they prepeared for attack, " however we never waste opportunities, when we learned that we can regain our powers by absorbing it from Puppet Masters, we let Nyx play the Hero, after all when it comes to fight and tactic, she is good in what she is doing, we also hoped she would kill Mind Slaver for us, revange is indeed very sweet "

Nightmare Moon started to charge her horn as well, as she took intimidating position " but it seems that Mind Slaver was so afraid that he accepted to become our servant, since we can take away his immortality and power with easy, so all there was left to do was to terminate your adorable Nyxie you both played with, and next this annoying Hero Nyx since she wanted to stop us, soon our souls will merge into one real NIghtmare Moon, as we bring eternal night and take rightful position as Queen of Equestria."

As Nightmare Moon horn started to glow more and more, sun went out of horisont and moon rise in it is place, as Nightmare Moon turned her eyes into Luna " now there is just one last think, will you join us Luna, will you join us in the time of our victory over your hated sister who banished us and you to the moon, as she tryed to keep all power to herself, join us and rule, or resist us and perish. " said Nightmare Moon with dark and sinister tone.

Luna was now overhelmed with rage as she rushed into Nightmare Moon with all she got, " I should never trust you, you monster, I will rather die than join you again ", " Than perish " reply Nightmare as she countered Luna attack with her own.

Nightmare Moon was bigger and stronger than Luna, and she had small boost since she absorbed power from many Alicorns, as result Luna was pushed back.

" You are just monster like Mind Slaver, you are ready for everythink, to hurt everyponny just to gain your goal, you just used us, backstabed us, backstabed Nyxie who trusted you, " said Celestia as she rushed into fight, lossing many tears as she flew with her arcade sword.

Battle was very brutal as none side was able to gain upper hand, when Luna and Celestia tryed to cover one another, putting efforts into teamwork where Celestia was a bit stronger than Luna, but Luna was faaar more experienced in combat, Nightmare Moon was alot stronger and very experience in combat, yet alown, focusing on powerful, but not to accurate attack relying more on pure power than tactic.

As battle went on, Mind Slaver was watching it from the side, for him it was realy entertaining show, he was a little annoyed that he is not King of Equestria yet, however it was just a matter of time before he would take over, and chance to see how Celestia get her flank kicked was just to good to ignore, " this day is getting better and better, but somethink is missing, oh yea, bring me apple pie and somethink to drink this instand " Mind Slaver said to his 2 cult members who were hiding at the moment as he lie down on cloud watching the show.

...

What realy happened, Nightmare Nyx perspective

...

Nyx was about to press the attack on Mind Slaver, as his Lance was prepeared for another strike, plan was easy, damage his wings and horn, and once he is immobilized, absorb his power, next she would deliver him to Luna and Celestia for trial, as she would take power from all remain cult members, and than hope for the best for little filly, if everythink would go well, Nightmare Nyx would become hero, no one would be afraid of her and she would have nice and happy life.

Nyx was closing by, waiting for a chance to strike, but than somethink happened, she could not move, " oh, so it work, cool, better than coo, AWESOME " said Mind Slaver as Nyx tryed to move, " what did you do to me ? explain yourself ! "

" Oh why not, you see, every member of my cult have a rune what let me control his mind, this rune is strong enough to control even Alicorn, so I thought, if you absorb powers from all of my Puppet Masters, and none of ponnies what you left had my rune on it, so I asumed you had to absorb that rune as well, so basicaly, your body if full of runes, so many, that I can control not only your mind but body as well. "

As Nyx struggled to free himself, she noticed how Celestia and Luna are comming to aid her, Nyx started to fell hope that they will free him, only for this hope to turn into fear on what Mind Slaver said, " oh, lovely, all actors are on stage, how about we start a little show, but first costume change, I need a villan, not a Hero,"

Nyx started to transform into Nightmare Moon as she thought ' no, you wont dear ', only to hear a voice inside her mind ' oh yes I dare.'

Celestia and Luna were flying to help they ally as Nigthmare Nyx stood in front of Mind Slaver, it was almost as they were talking, and than Celestia and Luna stoped as they notied that Nightmare Nyx armor is changing, all silver armor was gone, and instead she once again looked like Nightmare Moon.

" Nyxie ....., is that you ? " asked Celestia, with fear that it is no longer her.

' I m right here, I m alright, please, do not belive her '

" What ? ", asked Luna in suprice, " but she was just now fighting, what did you do with her ? " even more anger in her voice.

"You are joking, you are joking right ? you realy thought that this little cowardly filly would be the one fighitng ?, no my other half, it was actualy Nyx, as she tryed to play HERO, so we let her play her little role, but I m afraid that Nyx and Nightmare Nyx are in no more use for us ".

' I am realy sorry Nyxie, I would would never get rid of you, nor Nyx, we are all on the same boat '

" Oh, you are that ignorant Celly, fine, if you can not see the true, I will give you the true, Nyx and Nyxie are no longer with us, they played they role, and so we got rid of tham, "

' Even thought I would love to call Celestia ignorant, I small not tolerate sush lies '

' Oh that bastard, once I will get free from his control, I will .... '

' must agree on this one, I will enjoy my revange once I will by teating him apart '

Nightmare Moon started to charge her horn as well, as she took intimidating position " but it seems that Mind Slaver was so afraid that he accepted to become our servant, since we can take away his immortality and power with easy, so all there was left to do was to terminate your adorable Nyxie you both played with, and than this annoying Hero Nyx since he wanted to stop us, soon our souls will merge into one real NIghtmare Moon, as we bring eternal night and take rightful position as Queen of Equestria."

' Oh no, not that Eternal Night again, come on, we already know it was a terrible idea, even now I have no idea why I thought freezing and starve my subjects would help me gain they respect and love, stupid, stupid, stupid. '

' Oh come on, if you just put alot energy into moon, you can make it shine very bright, as it will start emiting energy and heat, enough to support food production and keep decent temperature '

' Realy, I had no idea, ummm, I better take nones '

' I just wanted to be a good friend and help Luna with her with her problems, I know, it did not turn out well in the end, sorry Luna, as much as it is worth, sorry for involving you in my terrible idea '

' I, I did not wanted to betray you Luna, I m not a monster, I do not want to be monster, I just wanted a bit of respect and love, now everythink is lost '

Nightmare Moon was bigger and stronger than Luna, and she had small boost since she absorbed power from many Alicorns, as result Luna was pushed back.

' But I m alright, realy, please do not belive in those lies we are forced to say '

Battle was very brutal as none side was able to gain upper hand, when Luna and Celestia tryed to cover one another, putting efforts into teamwork where Celestia was a bit stronger than Luna, but Luna was faaar more experienced in combat, Nightmare Moon was alot stronger and very experienced in combat, yet she was on her own, she was focusing on powerful but not to accurate attack relying more on raw power than tactic.

' do it can get any worse ? no matter who win, Mind Slaver will be winner in the end '

As the fight went on making even more damage around the castle and city, Celestia presed frontal attack with sunbeam and solar flare, when Luna used Ilusions and invisibility to ambush Nightmare Moon and damage her with Arcade knives, this so called Eternal Night worked in Luna favor, as her training was focused on using Night for ambush and tactical advantage, Luna was on her ground now, but Nightmare Moon also got some advantages, as she used ilusions and tricks on her own, this battle was actualy more of battle between Nightmare Moon and Luna, since Celestia lack of combat training and sun energy reduced her effectivenes, all Celestia could do was pressing attack when Nightmare Moon was in defensive, and heal Luna from time to time.

Mind Slaver took his time as he watched this find with enjoyment, as he analized it as it was one of his experiments, and than he noticed as 6 Guards were now watching this battle as well, " Wow, it seems that some crazy guards are trying to be heroes, totaly asking to die in crossfire ", than he noticed as somethink on guard armors were glowing, " wait, this can not be, I already send some of my Puppet Masters to eliminate tham, oh great, it is just like in some storys with happy endings where the heroes defeat evil minions and than safe the princess, well, they will be dissapointed, because this is my story, and I will win in the end "

Nightmare Moon was defending herself behind barrier as Celestia was bombarding it with fireballs, meanwhile Luna broke barrier with her Arkade knives, forcing Nightmare Moon to turn into mist and reunite in the air, and than she noticed 6 Guards glowing on short distance, Luna and Celestia turned around to see from where is the light commng from.

' Wait, Element Bearers are here, it seems that we are getting one way ticked to the moon ' thought Nightmare number 1

' Well, I think I can endure another 1000 years on that boring moon, especialy with all of you, but I m afraid it may be traumatic for poor filly ' Nyx number 2

' Calm down all of you, did you forgot that Elements are not weapons, meaby they will free us from Mind Slaver control, or at worse burn us a little bit ' reply Nyx number 1

' Better risk with elements than bying that bastard puppet, not that we have anythink to say in that matter, but if there is chance it will free us and let us crush him, BRING IT ' point out Nightmare Moon number 4

" And here are the Elements saving us once more, do we realy can not do anythink on our own now Celly ? " said Luna smiling as the light glow grown.

" I told you Elements would never fail us, now we must make sure they are safe from Nightmare Moon or Mind Slaver attack" reply Celestia as they both teleported to Element Bearers, prepearing to counter any assasination attempt.

Finaly, a bit rainbow went to Nightmare Moon, changing into tornado " That felling again, so warm, so nice, I, I can move my body again, I m free, freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee " screamed Nightmare Nyx, as elements cleaned her body from mind controling runes and heal all wounds.

Everyone hopes of victory turned into fear and dissapointment, as rainbow dissapeared, leaving fully revitalized Nightmare Moon flying above tham, " they, they did not work, but how is this possible " asked Luna, " Meaby she gained some sort of immunity, nothink can stop her now " replied Celestia, as they last hope broke into peaces.

For 1 full minute Nightmare Moon just flew in the air, eyes closed, as she thought about somethink, meanwhile Mind Slaver teleported next to her, " this is just wonderful, Nightmare Moon what is immunite to Elements of Charmony, sush a great development, and I was lucky to witness it with my own eyes " said Mind Slaver with very cheerful voice.

" Now than my mares, are you ready to give up, or I will need to break up your spirits a bit more ?"

" We wont give up to someone like " Luna was cut off by Celestia, " do if we surrender, will you spare lives of our guards and our subjects, will you not charm my sister, and will you not let my subject starve or frooze from cold of Eternal Night ? " Celestia asked, as she started to bow, " Celly, you are not considering ? " asked Luna with suprice, " Yes I do, we tryed everythink we could and failed, the only way to save our subjects now is to submit. "

Mind Slaver smiled as he won " Oh, your words, expresion on your face, your adorable position when you bow, priceless, oh this is just wonderful final of a wonderful day, what I m saying, it was best day of my life, hmn........, fine Celestia, I will spare lives of your subjects, what kind of King I would be to let my slaves and servants starve or frooze to death, as for your sister, well, I think I will find use for her what will not involve hurting her, but in exchange you will listen to me and be my test subject, oh, why I m even asking you, you wont have any choice after all " said Mind Slaver, as he started to bounce from happines.

Before he could say somethink again, Nightmare Moon grabed him and they both dissapeared in flash, Celestia, Luna and Elements Bearers were standing still, as they not understood what just happen.

" Do you think that Nightmare Moon decided to eliminate him since he agreed to our terms ", asked Luna,

" I m afraid this is the case, but there is no point to stand here, we better find tham " on those words Luna nod, as they both and Element Beaers started to search city trying to Nightmare Moon and Mind Slaver.

Canterlot Castle, Throne Room

FLASH

In a flash both Nightmare Moon and Mind Slaver appeared inside throne room, it was a very big and long room, with enogh space for hundred of ponies, two Thrones in the end of the room, giant doors decorated with some gems on the other end of the room, one entrance into balcony, and big windows on the walls.

Room was damaged a bit as result of the attack, but it was still in good shape, Mind Slaver started to look around in suprice as Nightmare Moon teleported him here, what was weird since he did not ordered her to do that.

For a moment he watched two thrones what he plan to replace in future with one, but bigger and more decorative as display of his power, and meaby a table on the wall behind it where he would put his notes and pictures of his succed experiments.

After moment of thinking, he turned his eyes into Nightmare Moon, who was standing next to him in sillent entire time, but he started to fell that dark aura is forming around her, as air was slowly filling with magic energy, " why did you brought me here without my permission ? " asked Mind Slaver our of curioucity.

On those words dark aura only gained strenght and size, Nightmare Moon was still having her eyes closed in creepy sillence, " I asked you question, ansfer your Master this instand " asked Mind Slaver again, this time with loud and ordery tone.

" You " whispered Nightmare Moon.

" What was that ? speak louder "

" YOU " repeat Nightmare Moon, this time louder, as she opened her eyes, slowly turning tham into Mind Slaver direction, they were full of malice, anger, but not just normal anger, it was pure rage, thsoe were eyes of cold empty murderer with desire of revange.

" YOU " repeat Nightmare Moon as she made 1 step foward, Mind Slaver made 1 step back.

" YOU BASTARD " her voice was even louder, as she made few more steps

Mind Slaver made few steps back, and than he stoped as his expresion became serious, his body took regal and confident posture, " How DARE you speak like that to your MASTER ", he made pause for moment as he took breath, " BOW and BEG for forgiveness , and meaby I wont punish you ", he ordered.

" You FOOL, you are no longer my master, and YOU will be the one to be punished ", on those words Mind Slaver tryed to force Nightmare Moon to bow with his mind control magic, but it did not worked, as his magic did not conected,

" Runes ? where are mind controling runes " asked Mind Slaver in confusion and curiousity.

" Try to figure out by yourself as you will be in world of pain and torture ! " ansfered Nightmare Moon as she took intimidating position by spreading her wings, her eyes not even blink.

" Those blasted Elements, they somehow destroyed runes inside your body " ansfered Mind Slaver as he facehoofed.

" I will cut your wings, than hoofs, horn, tail and mane, just like you did that to us " said Nightmare Moon as she once again moved foward, step by step, her glare more hostile with every step and word.

" Like I care, you was just a test subject " ansfered, as he started to move step by step to Nightmare Moon.

" You used us like a tool, brought pain to us and newborn filly " Nightmare Stomp with her hoof on ground making a hole in it.

" You took our free will away, you ashamed us, teased us, insulted us, humiliated us " Nightmare keep saying those words as she made one hole in the floor with every word.

" You should be thankfull to serve me, to be part of somethink greater than you, you freak "

"You disrespectfull little worm, you toyed with Equestria, Luna and Celestia for fun, you stolen OUR POWERS, you gained power and knowledge by the cost of others. "

" Pfff, say mare who corupted Luna and tryed to doom Equestria for some stupid reasons "

" For our mistakes, we paid a huge price, and so you will pay for yours with your blood "

" Oh, I get it, it was a joke ' laught ', and it was a good one ' laught ', the fate choicen me to rule over everyones, to gain knowledge and power above any others, I m above some laws, morals and punishmant, after all, soon i will be the one making laws. " laughted Mind Slaver at the idea of anyone bying able to punish him, he was the one punishing those who deffy him, but it just anger Nightmare Moon even more, as she droped a tear.

" For everyone we are just monsters, but a little newborn filly do not deserve it " said Nightmare as she droped more tears, " we endured torment of banishment and tortures of your experiments, as it was a chance to start our live from the beggining, as we were given secound chance ", and finaly she started to cry, " And YOU RUINED it. "

" Bla bla bla, I get it, you are sad and angry, get to the point " said Mind Slaver as he started to lose patience, as Nightmare Moon gave him a stare in Fluthershy style.

" You used us, humiliated, stolen our power, and than when we had a chance to have normal life, you just had to ruin it, and you not even care, there is nothink left for Nightmare Nyx in this world, and it is all thanks to you, everyone think that we are monster, so there is nothink left to do than taking you down with us. " after those final words, Nightmare Moon wiped out her tears, and rushed into battle.

Mind Slaver levitated his Alicorn Killer to counter Nightmare Moon attack, and after Nightmare Moon dodge it and rushed into his direction, he set up barrier.

Nightmare Moon failed to penetrate it, as Alicorn Killer was flying into her back, to evade attack and break barrier, Nightmare turned herself into mist, leting sword to pass her and hit barrier instead, as barrier broke, Nightmare shot barrage of thunders what stuned Mind Slaver, as she started to hit him with her hoofs, slaping and kicking his face, and absorbing little of his power

" ENOGHT " said Mind Slaver, as he created a blast of light energy, light magic is far less destructive than dark magic, but it do extra damage to those who have dark magic in they nature, Nightmare Moon specialization and nature is dark magic, so light blast did much more damage than dark arts would.

As Nightmare Moon was knocked back, Mind Slaver aura grown, as his body once again had dragon scales on, " I had some fun playing with Celestia, Luna and you for a while, but time for games is out, it is time to show you and the entire world what a WORTHY Alicorn is capaible off " at those words, his expresion started to be serious, his horn charging, his body now in battle stage.

Than into Throne room 4 dark Alicorn flew in, as 2 of tham set up barrier around they master, and others 2 started to shot magic lasers into Nightmare Moon.

Nightmare Moon took into air and started to evade shots, as she send some bolds of her own, but even thought she could beat those 4 Puppet Masters with time, she did not had it, so she decided to rush with max speed to absorb Alicorns power one by one ignoring they shots.

It took half of minute, but all 4 cult members were out, still, it was enoght time for Mind Slaver to focus alot of energy, " Let me show you what I discovered before I became Alicorn ", on those words, summoning rune under his hoofs started to take magic from his horn, glowing more and more.

FLASH

In a big flash, 6 flying orbs were summoned into throne room, 2 white orbs, 1 green, 1 red, 1 blue and 1 yellow, all were size of a big rock 10 times bigger of awerge pony.

2 Light orbs flew into left and right side of Mind Slaver, and other 4 orbs flew into 4 corners of throne room, " Breath taking, is not it, alow me to present you my masterpace, those 2 orbs on my side are Light Battle Orbs, they posses huge ammound of light magic, the red one is Fire Battle Orb, and the other 3 are Ice, Wind and Electrick orbs, you get the picture "

" Do you expect some flying rocks to stop me from my revange and safe your feathers, I expected somethink better than that "

" Oh, how ignorant of you, but it is understable, yet I asure you, it is somethink to fear off, since I worked 1 full year to create tham when I was just a Unicorn, I hoped to use tham as defense support again Celestia and Luna, and now when I m Alicorn, I can boost those orb for extra fire power, ..... enoght words, let the display of power full your heart with terror, FIRE " on that signal, 2 Light orbs shot 2 solarbeams, those solarbeams were exacly the same what Celestia shot from her horn, but they were actualy stronger.

Nightmare Moon tryed to block it with barrier, only for it to break after 10 secounds of non stop fire, after barrier fall, Nightmare Moon took into air and started to evade solarbeams as they cut walls and ceiling of throne room.

...

Meanwhile outside

...

Celestia and Luna were flying over Canterlot, trying to find Mind Slaver and Nightmare Moon, as well as helping ponies who had bad luck when the battle took place, and than they noticed as solarbeams started to come from Castle, as Celestia and Luna took closer look at from where those beams came from, they quickly noticed it was from throne room.

...

Castle throne room

...

Another salve of 3 solarbeams went from 2 light orbs and Mind slaver as Nigthmare Moon tryed her best do evade tham, she tryed to shot some of her Lighting bolts, only for tham to change direction and go into Electric orb, it was clear now that those orbs not only could use magic type what base on what orb it was, they could also absorb that magic, and the only orb type what was not in the throne room was dark orb, as Nightmare Moon noticed that, she charged her horn to relace dark blast.

However it did not worked as Light orbs set up light shield around tham, neutralizing dark attack, " Oh, you probably wondered why I did not summoned dark orb into throne room, well, the ansfer is easy, Light orbs can not only absorb light magic attack, but they can also use light magic to destroy dark force, and since you are a bit resistant to dark force yourself, I decided it would be better to get double solarbeam altilery instead, I m sush a genius, now than, lets see how long you can dodge "

The battle did not go to well for Nightmare Moon as she got hit by 3 solarbeams so far, whats more elemental magic is out, dark power is out, magic laser and missile were reflected by Mind Slaver barrier, and close range attack would be too dangerous, as high distance was only reason she could evade so many solarbeams.

' Ok, lets analize the situation, I m now forced to evade all attacks and I can not attack myself, frontal attack is suicude as those light orbs will tear me apart, I already tryed Ilusion but those orbs neutralize it with small light wave, yet somethink is odd, why is Mind Slaver attacking me with solarbeams instead of using his Alicorn Killer ? and why only those light orbs are attacking me when all other orbs are just there to absorb my attack, and why he is standing so close to those light orbs instead of following me ' thought Nightmare Moon as she tryed out to figure out a way to defeat his enemy or at last get rid of his advantage, ' I get it now. '

Nightmare Moon started to fly into Electrick orb as her horn glown, and once she was next to electrick orb, ' 3, 2, 1, now ', Nightmare Moon was gone in a flash as 3 solarbeams hit electric orbs destroying it.

Nightmare Moon appreared close to Wind orb, as she shot barage of thunders into it, another orb was down, and she was gone in a flash to appear next to Fire orb, as he hit it with thunder, and than hide behind it as 3 solarbeams finished it, and finaly she took out ice orb with some fire magic.

' I was right, he created those orbs to protect him from magic attacks, but to make tham shot, he need to boost it with his own power, that is why he is standing so close to those light orbs, he need to be close to tham to charge tham, and now without those 4 orbs I can use elemental spells again ' thought Nightmare Moon as shot barage of electric, fire and ice spells, only for tham to be stoped by Mind Slaver barrier.

' This is bad, even if he is not mobile, he have still strong defenses, and with those 2 light orbs his fire power is triple as strong, how can I take those orbs out ? ' thought Nightmare as she got hit by another solarbeam, evading and teleporting could only buy her more time at best, ' meaby I can be off assistance ' thought Nyx, ' time to get some defenses of our own '

FLASH

Throne room was empty, Mind Slaver started to look around as his target was gone, " stop hiding you coward and face me, I do not have time to play hide and seek ".

Than he started to fell ground moving under his hoofs, " earthquake ? " he said as he took in air and started to watch ground, 2 light orbs followed him.

And from underground, purple barrier emerged as it was going into Mind Slaver direction, he quickly focused his horn as 2 light orbs shot solarbeam into flying barrier, barrier was starting to get damaged but did not slow down, as it hit Mind Slaver in colision, sending him into ceiling.

Purple shield broke as now instead of Nightmare Moon , Nyx was standing between 2 light orbs, Arkade lance levitating next to her.

STAB

2 Light orbs has been anihilated, after all they were made from pure magic, so Arkade weapon is best to destroy it.

" Lets see how you will do without your toys " said Nyx with a smile on her face, but than quicly turned her smile into angry expresion, as she charged her horn and flew into Mind Slaver.

" This is not over yet, I still have few aces " Mind Slaver said as he rushed to counter Nyx with his Alicorn Killer, both arkane weapon clashed, only for Alicorn Killer to be trown back forcing Mind Slaver to teleport on the floor as lance hit the celling.

Mind Slaver once again used his summoning rune, this time however he did not had much time so he did quick summon, as he summoned medium sized purple dragon.

' SPIKE ' thought Nyx as she noticed medium sized dragon with mind control rune on his head.

Nyx was about to hit Mind Slaver when dragon got in her way, forcing her to fly back.

Meanwhile Mind Slaver once again started to charge his summoning rune this time with alot of dark magic, as it started to summon ponies, but somethink was not right.

Side to Spike were now standing, Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, RainbowDash, and some other ponies Nyx could not recognize. " How do you like my aces ? it took 3 years of studing and experimenting Necromancy, and I lost some of my cult members as I send tham to dig up some graves, but here they are, most of Element Bearers at my service, I actualy wanted to use tham to prank Celestia, she was alwais so fond with element bearers and her students, and watching how they, especialy Twilight Sparkle turn again her would be amusing, not that she would stop from destroying revived ponies, but it would still be amusing "

" You make me sick " ansfered Nyx with even more anger, " you captured Spike, brainwashed him, and than revived element bearers just for the fun of it ? "

" for fun and for science, and also for physological attack again princess, but wait a moment, you realy fell for those ponies, dont you, your reaction, even the fact that you step back instead of killing Spike to attack me, it is just prove that you fell somethink for tham, there is no way you are Nightmare Moon "

" SILLENCE " said Nyx aloud, " I will slice you, free spike and put those ponies back to they peaceful rest "

" How noble of you, playing the hero to the end, but enoght of that, ATTACK " on this command, Spike and corpses of Element Bearers rushed into attack, they were not as efective as ponies they represented when they were alive, but they still had skills and abilities, Twilight and other Celestia students attacked with quite strong and advanced spells, when RainbowDash and some other Pegasus flew with realy great speed.

Nyx set up her barrier to hold the attack as he thought of a plan, but barrier broke as Alicorn Killer strike it, still, Nyx barrier was special as it just shatered into parts, Nyx levitated parts of her barrier into other ponnies around her, immobilizing tham.

Flash

In a flash Spike was teleported behind Nyx before she could react, as he hit her in the back with his claws, only to attack with his green flame.

Dragon flame was burning Nyx, but it was not damage Alicorn could not withstand as she started to focus her horn despice high temperature.

FLASH

In huge light blast, spike was blinded for moment, and some of revived element ponies turned back into bones ( actualy they were not destroyed, since Light magic is neutralizing dark magic and necromancy curses ).

taking the opportunity, Nyx levitated his lance and rushed into Mind Slaver with all her power, Mind Slaver tryed to block it with Alicorn Killer, only for his sword to be shattered into peaces by Nyx lance, " hhhhhhow ? " said Mind Slaver in fear as his great weapon was destroyed before his eyes.

Flash

Nyx teleported behind Mind Slaver, and as he turn around, she turned into Mist and reappeared as 16 Nyx and16 Lances around him.

Mind Slaver quickly used his dark blast to neutralize ilusions or damage clones, base on whatever tactic Nyx used, and what was left were 3 purple barriers, 1 barrier hit him from side, and than another from another side, and barrier number 3 from above, as all 3 barriers gathered around Mind Slaver, the blown up, trearing apart his dragon scalles.

Nyx and her 2 clones reunited as she levitated her lance to stab Mind Slaver hoofs and wings,

Scream of pain could be hear in entire throne room, " Whats the matter, it is not so fun when you are not the one stabing and cuting ? " asked Nyx with tears falling from her eyes, " your sick game is over " said Nyx as she aimed her spear into Mind Slaver horn.

Than to Nyx suprice, Twilight Sparkle got in the way " do not you dare to hurt my master " she said, her eyes empty felt empty and her voice did not showed any emoptions.

" Rest in peace mother " said Nyx as she touched Twilight with her horn, and as light magic flew into Twilight, she turned into ash, as dark force vanished from her body.

Nyx changed her apperance into Nightmare Moon, " now than, the time for our rewange has come " Nightmare said as she cut Mind Slaver hort with Nyx lance before it dissapeared.

Another scream of pain, " aaaaaaaaaaa, huh, huh huh, you ruined everythink you freak, it was best day of my life, I was so close of taking over Equestria, gaining ultimate power and immortality, so many years of preparation and hard work wasted, all because of you " his voice full of pain and anger, " I WAS CHOICED for greatness, and all of that ruined because useless test subject went out of control, " after those words, Mind Slaver spit on Nightmare Moon face.

" You do not deserve so much power, and knowledge in your head will only bring pain and suffering, as my revange, I will take what is the most dear to you " and with those words, Nightmare started to absorb Mind Slaver powers from him, until he became unicorn again, " no, no, nooooooooooooooo. "

After he was unicorn again, Nightmare Moon used her healing powers to close bleeding on his wounds, she did not heal tham, just closed tham a bit so he would not die from lose of blood, and next she used sleeping spell on him.

" Your knowledge is to danger in your hoofs, but meaby I will find use for it " Nightmare Moon said as she send her mane into Mind Slaver head, as she searched his mind and drained his knowledge, all his magic abilities, spells he learned, hideouts he had in Equestria, necromancy, time and dimentional travel, everythink what was making him dangerous was stolen from him.

Nightmare Moon took a breath and looked around, all she saw was heavy Injured Mind Slaver, alot ashes from zombie ponies, 4 unconscious Puppet Masters, sleeping Spike, very badly ruined Throne room, and quite alot injuries on her own body, and there was no more sounds of any battle outside, ' over, it is finaly over, wake up Nightmare Nyx, it is safe now. '

Nightmare Nyx got back control of her body, she had no experience with battle, and far to little knowledge about magic, so she gave control to Nyx and some Nightmare Moons for entire battle, but now she could go back and control it again, Nigthmare Moon armor dissapeared leaving big black Alicorn with many Injuries on her body, her magic heavy drained, her hoofs and wings tired, but what is the most importand, the worse was behind her, or at last she hoped it was.

Nightmare Nyx was now standing in sillence, as she tryed to gather thoughts, not noticing that princess Celestia and Luna flew into what is left form Throne room.

" It is over " said Luna from behind, Nightmare Nyx hearing her turned around, and galoped into her direction, " yes, it is over, Luna, I m so happy to see you ..... " she stoped talking as she was hit with full force by Celestia solarbeam and trown into the wall behind Throne.

As Nightmare Nyx felt a bit of pain, attacked off guard, she stand up, confusion and sadness on her face, " Celly, what was that for, why did you hurt ..." she could not finish as she felt heavy, for moment she did not knew whats going on, unil she noticed that Luna horn is glowning.

When Luna was using gravitacion again Nightmare Nyx, Celestia looked around to examine situation, as she noticed Mind Slaver as Unicorn, but without horn and 4 heavy damaged hoofs and some other injury, than she noticed lying down Spike and 4 Puppet Masters, " So you got your revange after all, I see you spared no one " said Celestia as she charged her horn and attacked with another solarbeam.

Another solarbeam his Nightmare Nyx as she was still kept down by her own weight, " Please, stop, it hurt, please,."

" You brought it upon yourself " said Luna with dissapointment and disgust in her voice, " Thee gained our trust only to betray us, side up with Mind Slaver, and in the end killed him because he agreed to Celestia terms, thee wont get any mercy from us."

" You got rid off innocent filly once she became useless to you, and than Nyx when she tryed to stop you, and whats more you are now to powerfull and immunite to Elements of Charmony, even thought it is hard for me, we have no other choice but to get rid you for good as long we have chance " said Celestia as she put her judgement.

" But it was all Mind Slaver fault, he made Nightmare Moons say those lie, sob sob... . " said Nightmare Nyx, as she started to cry.

" Your false tears wont deceive us " said Luna as she increased gravitation field power, making Nightmare Nyx even more heavy.

" Please, you have to belive me, it is me, Nightmare Nyx, not Nightmare Moon, they did not hurt me, I " Nyxie was cut off by another solarbeam, as she screamed with pain, her body was on it is limit.

" Do not dare to use her name, MONSTER, it is time for you to perish from this world ", Celestia started to charge her horn, Nightmare Nyx noticed sun rays filling the room, as sun raised on the horisont.

' It is no use, they wont belive you after what Mind Slaver made us to say, but for now we must focus on surviving, Celestia want to kill us. ' said Nightmare Moon in Nyxie mind

" There have to be a way " said filly with fading hope and growning sadness.

' We wont convince tham, and now we need to get out of here, your body is in terrible stage and Celestia is gathering solar energy to form her arkane sword, but worry not, I gained alot knowledge from Mind Slaver, I will give you coordinates, you must teleport there '

' Noooo, you ask me to escape from this happy life I had, from firends, peace and fun I had in last 4 weeks. '

' I wish as much as you to start a peaceful life, but our chance was taken away from us, all there is left is survive, so quickly, teleport '

Luna was holding Nightmare Nyx in her gravitation field, as Celestia created her Arkade sword, she than flew closer to Nightmare Nyx and was about to strike her, " I will try to make it as painless as possible " said Celestia as she did not noticed that Nyxie was charging her horn until it was to late.

FLASH

SLASH

Celestia sword was now stuck in floor and Nightmare Nyx was gone, " She managed to get away, we must find her as long as she is close, or else another war will take place in future " said Celestia as she and Luna went to search for Nightmare Moon.

...

Outside of canterlot castle, unknown location

...

In flash Nightmare Nyx appeared, this time she took much more time to charge her horn for long range teleportation as she was gone again as last teleportation was to weak to pointed coordinates, teleportation is very high level magic spell what only very skilled and hard working unicorns could master, when weaker unicorns often would end up drained after jump or teleport in away from place they wanted to get.

Blind teleportation is very risky, so teleportation spell was upgrated with safely upgrades preventing Unicorn from teleporting inside a wall or solid mater, as well as ilosating area where unicorn teleport from air and fluid influence, so that if unicorn teleport into poison cloud or inside water, poison and water would not end up inside it is body.

Because of that teleportation spell cost more energy and did not worked if said Unicorn is not skilled enoght to activate all safely spells.

Teleportating on close distance is not much of a problem since Unicorn often see her destination, but long range teleportation or teleporation inside room require focusing coordinates in they mind so they can teleport safely.

As result long range teleportations or teleporting many ponies at once is extremaly draining and require alot focus, in Nightmare Nyx case, she knew coordinates, but lack of time to focus on coordinates and without enoght magic she teleported far away from her destination.

After minute of focusing her magic, Nightmare Nyx was gone in another flash

Luna and Element Bearers with some pegasus guards were already closing by, only for tham to see how Nightmare Moon teleport again, this time however it was very long range and precize jump, Luna tryed to detect where teleportation would be directed only to fail, teleportation of that range was impossible to detect.

Luna was lose in thought as where Nightmare Moon tryed to hide, ' she tryed to teleport somewhere, but her jump was cut off by lack of energy, so it mean that she tryed to teleport in this direction ', Luna thought to herself as she was watching everfree forest in distance, ' castle inside everfree forest would be to easy to figure out and a bit to the right from teleporation line, ofcourse ', Luna snap out thinking as she rememered about Mind Slaver underground hideout Celestia noticed 1 hour before invasion.

Luna and Element Bearers flew with full speed into hideout direction.

...

Canterlot Castle, destroyed Throne room

...

When Luna, some guards and Elements were searching for Nightmare Moon, Celestia decided to stay in her destroyed throne room as she watched died dragon.

" I m sorry Spike, after Twilight and Rarity passed away, you became a very loyal and brave knight, worked hard to help Equestria and tryed your best to protect new Elements Bearers, only to be captured and brainwashed by Mind Slaver 12 years ago, if only I would find you and free from his control, you would not be lying her Dead, I m sorry " appologices Celestia again and again, lossing some tears as she was very fond with loyal dragon who was Twilight Sparkle assistant, unlike ponies, Spike was a dragon and could live very long, as his work became more and more direct to the throne, Celestia had much time to spend with him, and now he was dead because she failed to rescue him.

As Celestia was standing trying to honor her dragon knight with sillent, " oh, my head ", at those words Celestia watched in shock as Spike was slowly getting up, holding his head with his hand as he had big headache.

" You ........ are alive ", Celestia said as she jumped and huge big purple dragon, only to break the hug and return to her regal posture, as she looked around to see if no one saw her.

" I, I m fine, I just have a bit of headache " after those words, Spike started to look around destroyed throne room, " what just happened " he asked as Celestia flew closer to his head and started to heal him.

" I should be the one asking this question Spike, when I saw you lying in here, I thought was you was dead, are you felling better now ? " Celestia asked as she finished casting healing spell.

" Yes, much better, but my memory is like inside a fog, the last I remember was, ummm " said Spike as he tryed hard to remember what just happened, " Please do not stress yourself Spike, take your time to sort your thoughts up, I have importand dutys to attend right now, but I will be back to check on you later.

After those words Celestia teleported in a flash, leaving spike confused as he tryed to get back his memory.

...

Canterlot Vault

...

Flash

In flash Celestia appeared inside Vault as batalion of Pegasus and Unicorn royal guards bowed in front of her.

After the battle started to go bad, guards were forced to retreat into Castle, and set up final line of defense inside Vault, as it was protected by powerful magic, " You Highness, your wounds, you must go hospital right away to treat your wounds " said worried Diamond Wing, who was also in very bad condition as he was leading his forces in air combat.

" I m fine, the threats is over for now, but there is alot to be done, I want all Pegasus in enoght good condition to fly into the city and help all injuried guards and citizens who were injuried in battle, those Unicorns in enogh good shape, I want you to repair as much damage as you can and set up place for injuries, beds, medical aids, food and water supply, anythink, fell free to take tham from stores as well, safely above business, as for you Diamon Wing, take 2 of your best mans and search for Nightmare Moon, Luna is already doing it but she would use some assistance, if Nightmare Moon will manage to recover her wounds, we will have another invasion sooner or later.

" AS YOU COMMAND PRINCESS " said the guards and officers in unions as they flew doing they tasks.

" I will stay here and try to heal your wounds with my magic, we will have alot of work to recover damage done by this invasion so take your time to recover " said Celestia as she started to heal most wounded guards who were left behind, brokens hoofs and wings, some even with broken horns, others paralized from electricks damage, it was rather long healing to do, after all battle did not went easy on anyone.

...

Underground hideout near everfree forest

...

In a flash Nightmare Nyx was inside a big underground hall, and right away started to fell sick, it was after all room when she was born, it is true that she was tortured in laboratory far away from this place, but the very fact she encountered Mind Slaver in here for her first time made her sick.

As Nightmare Nyx look around, she noticed 16 artifacts what were used for summoning, now empty with no magic inside, than she noticed some books on the left side of the room, they were in good shape sorted in a big bookshelf.

' We do not have much time before Luna and Celestia will find us here, I m going to take control for a moment if you wont mind, it is importand ' said Nightmare Moon inside Nyxie mind, as she charged her horn.

Her full of stars mana started to grown a little, as small black hole opened into it, than she quickly levitated books and artifacts inside it and close it.

' What was that ? ' asked Nightmare Nyx as she could not belive in what she saw, a black hole inside her mane, now she saw everythink.

' It is a special magic bad, a extremaly advanced magic, it practicaly creat a small magic dimention where you can store your stuff, the biger it is, the more magic it take to open and close, but do not worry, this mini world do not absorb any magic from you to simply exist, only opening, closing and increasing or decreasing it is size require alot magic, and this world is conected to my man, so I can open it no matter where I go, think of it as our inventory chest ' ansfered Nightmare Moon.

' Seems very handly, so where do we go now ' asked Nightmare Nyx as Nightmare Moon levitated small dark orb from bookshelf, after puting a bit magic into it, dark orb changed into some sort of dark portal, ' this is special escape orb what MInd Slaver used to escape from his laboratory, it is conected between his hideouts, the portal itself do not leave any clues where pony what used it went too, and also can pass anty teleportation field, now, to dragon land.'

And with those words Nightmare Nyx entered portal and she was gone.

3 minutes later Luna entered this hideout practicaly making hole into ground as she dive bomb it, she was now looking around as she saw empty hall with small hoofsteps on the ground, but no trace of teleportation magic or any clue where she was gone, " horse apples " siad Luna as she was to late to capture Nightmare Moon with no clue where to find her.

...

Canterlot castle destroyed Throne room, 1 hour later

...

Spike was still thinking about what just happened, his memorys returned to him as he waited for Celestia to check on him, he had alot to tell.

Celestia slowly flew into Throne room, she was worn out as she used alot magic to heal her guards, now slowly walking into Spike direction, breathing hard on the way.

" Are you ok princess " asked Spike as he walked closer to Celestia and bowed, " You looks exhausted, meaby you should take a rest, I can take you to hospital, just take the word ", said Spike as Celestia shake her head refusing the offer.

" No Spike, huh. I m fine, huh, tired, huh, but fine " said Celestia as she took deep breath, " I can rest after everythink is sort out, and I fell it will take at last 1 full week to recover, so I better take everythink done first, now Spike, do you remember anythink ? " asked Celestia, as she took lying position on the ground, her eyes focused on Spike.

" I did princess, my memories have returned to me, and I have alot to speak about, would you like long or short version ", asked Spike as Celestia smiled, " Long version please, I want to know what happened with you to this very day ".

" Ok, but do not blame me if you fall asleep ", joked spike as Celestia make a made short little laughter.

" As you remember 18 years ago Mind Slaver betrayed you and tryed to manipulate you to realize his goal, after his failure, he retreated into everfree forest, and I tryed to track him down with some guards, after long time of searching most of guards gave up, but I did not, I started to ask around in Griffon empire and Dragon kingdom as I was off duty, trying to make sure did he not run to other country, as 12 years ago one of my dragon friends told me he saw some weird ponies bying gems from him, so I asked Peewee to watch gem stores in search for those ponies, it was not long before Peewee lead me into Mind Slaver hideout itself, as he was gathering rare gems for his experiments. "

After pausing and taking long breath, " I know, I should send a letter to you about location of his hideout, but I was afraid that royal guards in dragon kingdom may be an excuse for another political conflict since Dragonia and Equestria relationships were bad at the moment, so I tryed to ambush Mind Slaver myself " Spike started to bow his head in shame,

" He defeated me easy, as he had prepeared some defensivee and offensive spells again dragons, and before I knew it, I was under his control, for many years I was following his orders, searching and gathering gems for his experiments, until today when I saw summoned to this throne room " said Spike as Celestia thought why it was impossible to find him, he had some alies or brainwashed dragons in Dragonia where he would work on his plots, meaby even direct dragons again Equestria, what would explain sudden break in good relationships between 2 kingdoms.

" Please continue Spike, what happened when you was teleported here ? " asked Celestia, wondering why Nightmare Moon did not killed him, and what exacly happened here.

" Well, as I was summoned, I was ordered to attack a black Alicorn who looks exacly like Nightmare Moon, thought she had silver armor and her mane did not had any stars in it, Mind Slaver was also big black Alicorn, and both of tham were rather beat up if I can say my opinion, but what happened later was very confusing, as Mind Slaver summoned Twilight Sparcle, some of her friends and many others Element Bearers and students you had in thsoe years, actualy, they were ZOMBIES " said spike with fear in his voice, his both hands on his face, as he often wondered do day when zombie ponies will stand up from they graves and invade Equestria.

" WHAT, so that is why my guards reported grave digging thiefs activity who later appeared to be Puppet Masters, I would never expected Mind Slaver to master necromancy, as it is the most forbiten magic in Equestria and other kingdoms as well ", said Celestia angry and sick to even think of her former students and element bearers walking as zombies under Mind Slaver command.

" Well, that was weird and confusing, but not as talk between Nightmare Moon and Mind Slaver, Nightmare Moon was realy angry, she was arguing with Mind Slaver about how dirty he is playing, she also said that she will rescue me and put zombies into peaceful rest, why would Nightmare Moon care about us, i had no idea, but what supriced me even more was that she did not attack me, she was just defending ", Celestia was shocked, why would Nightmare Moon care, why sso sudden change of heart, do it was another of her tricks.

" Now that I think about it, Mind Slaver mentioned that she would not be Nightmare Moon, last time I remember was a big flash what blind me, when I recovered, I saw how Nightmare Moon was about to finish off Mind Slaver, or at last I think she wanted, as zombie Twilight got in the way, but Nightmare Moon just put horn on her and said rest in peace mother, that was creepy ",

" She, she realy said that ? " asked Celestia as she started to wonder, none of Nightmare Moons would even call Twilight Mother, and Nyxie was created by Mind Slaver summoning spell, meaby it was Nyx, but how, Nyx and Nightmare Nyx were anihilated.

" She did, I was about to attack Nightmare Moon from behind when she cut off Mind Slaver horn and this is when I closed my eyes, until I hear your voice and than I saw you " Spike said as he pointed into Celestia, as Celestia tryed to gather her thoughts, than she thought about what happened after she and Luna entered throne room to ambush Nightmare Moon, she put two and two together and than conclusion went to her head.

" Oh, my .... " said Celestia as she understood what probably realy happened.

...

Dragon Land, underground facility

...

Nyx was looking around as it was very big place, alot of gems all over the place, many books around, many plan sheets and projects, it was indeed a huge laboratorium.

' Welcome into Mind Slaver HQ, gem storage on the left, project galery on the right, laboratory in front, food, water storesand bedroom on the secound floor, and one confused Alicorn in the middle ' said Nightmare Moon inside Nyxie head with a joke tone as she introduced Nyx into his new home for some time, ' better get use to this place, ' better get use to this place, because it will be your home for a veeery long time '.

' Long time, what do you mean by that, how long I will be here, will I be safe here, when I can go back to Celestia and Luna to explain tham everythink, and what I will be doing here from now on ' asked confused Nyxie as her live was now upside down, she was on her own now, world again her, she wanted to talk with Luna and Celestia again, she wanted peaeful and fun days to go back, but she also felt fear, what if they will attack her again, what if they will torture or destroy her, close in dungeon, banish to the moon or close in dungeon on the moon she will be banished too.

' I m sorry my dear, but those days wont return, you are a monster in they eyes and you can not change it, but nothink is lost, I formed a plan, as you know, Mind Slaver summoned our powers from other dimentions, we are just soul fragments of real Nightmare Moons what live on those dimentions, I bet they not even noticed it gone '

' yes, I remember it, but how can this help me in my curent situation ?'

' Oh, just leave everythink to your big sister Moon, as you remember, I stolen knowledge from Mind Slaver, but this knowledge is just temporary, it will dissapear with time, so I m afraid it is school time, in close weeks you need to study hard my dear, I know it may be tiredsome, but you need to memorise as much from this knowledge as possible before it will be gone, than we can study how to open portal to another dimention and escape from here '

' What, you want me to escape from here, to leave everythink behind ? ' asked Nightmare Nyx as the idea supried her, other dimention, do it will be better in there, well, it was her only option now.

' As I understand, we will open portal to alternative Equestria, it will have small diferences since small changes, decysions and events afected it is outcome, but no one will know us, meaby we can disquise ourselfs or convince others that we are not threat and start a new life in there, it is worth a try '

And so Nightmare Nyx started to study, she was alown, and yet she had friends in her head, 1 goal and 1 hope, a hope that she can find peaceful live in other Equestria, whats more, she had to learn more on her own, when it come to fight, she could alwais rely on Nightmare Moon or Nyx to take over, but it would be only relying on others to do everythink for you.

...

Canterlot castle destroyed Throne room

...

After Spike finsihed his story, Celestia started to think hard do this was all just a show, or did she and Luna just tryed to kill Nightmare Nyx, on one side, if it was Nightmare Moon, they were so close to get rid of her since she posses alot danger, not to mention that she is immunite to Elements of Charmony, and if Luna will fail to find her, another war will start soon, and this invasion already took lives of hundreds of ponies.

On other side, if Mind Slaver forced Nightmare Moon to act that she betrayed tham, when in reality Nightmare Moon was fighting to safe Equestria, risking her own lives, and whats more, actualy saving entire kingdom if not world herself as she defeated Mind Slaver and his army on her own.

If this was the case, than she and her sister Luna just attacked innocent Nyxie who was already badly injuried from her long and hard fights, they hurt and were about to destroy someone who fought hard to save everypony from slavery, and now Nightmare Nyx is hiding in fear, and meaby one day she will come back to get her rewange, even by thinking about it, Celestia started to cry.

' No, it is impossible, it was just an ack, Nightmare Moon took control and tryed to betray everyone, I did the right think 'Celestia tryed to convince herself that it was Nightmare Moon, dangerful monster what they tryed to destroy, but she could not lie to herself, she had to know the trush.

As Celestia turned and walked closer into Mind Slaver dead body, regreting that she could not get any ansfers from him, when she hear his breath.

Celestia right away started to scan Mind Slaver to find out that he is not dead, he is alive as he had sleeping spell put on him, Celestia slowly levitated him closer to herself and than in a flash she was gone.

...

Canterlot dungeon

...

Dungeons were still in good shape as they were underground, however on the way Celestia noticed some holes in the walls and ceiling, and than many dead guards and opened cell, it was cell where Nightmre Nyx was help for her safely, only to be ambushed by enemy.

Celestia started to fell guild about what happened here, as she levitated Mind Slaver into cell and put another sleeping spell on him so he wont wake up any time soon, she than noticed as some guards came to her, they were dungeon guards from other stations as they were probably alerted when she teleported here.

As Celestia turned her eyes to tham, they bowed, " Your Highness, what bring you here and how is the battle outside the castle going on ? " asked guards with respect but also curiocity in his voice, no one would blame him, he was ordered to guard dungeon prison when guards outside were fighting a war and no one came to update him about situation.

" The battle is over and we won, but damage is heavy, I need to go for now since I have alot to attend to, please guard this prisoner but do not, I mean it, do not hurt him, I need many ansfers from him ", before guards could say anythink, Celestia was gone, but guards already got used to it as both Celestia and Luna were teleporting alot on a daily basics in pass weeks, some guards even called it Alicorn Teleportation Month.

All guards started to watch the prisoner now, they fell pity for him when they saw holes in his hoofs and cut off horn, at last until one of the guards recognised him as orange color was very rare for Unicorns, lucky they were ordered to not hurt him, as they thought that those injuries are to good for him, instead they just stand there, waiting for organge unicorn to try to escape, so they can blast him back into prison cell.

...

Canterlot castle Throne room

...

From all places, Celestia knew that Throne room was the first room Luna would be searching her in the first place, so she just decided to take a small rest in there, but she had to be careful to not let deep sleep to take her, as she was very weak and tired.

Meanwhile Spike was outside as he was helping Royal Guards as much he could, as a grown up dragon he was very big and strong, very handly to move heavy cargo over the place as well as helping those who were traped, many injuried ponies were curently healed in field hospitals, as 2 royal doctors found Celestia in Throne room to heal her wounds, they ofered Celestia to take her into clean hospital room where they would treat her wounds, but she refused as she had 1 more think to take care of and she could not go to sleep until it was done.

...

4 hours later

...

Luna search failed as she went back into Throne room hoping to find Celestia in there to give her bad news, and she was not dissapointed, Celestia was sleeping in there as 2 doctors were taking care of her, as Luna walked closer, doctors noticing it tryed to wake up Celestia, as they were ordered to do once Luna return.

Luna tryed to ask Celly if everythink is ok, and that she should go to hospital, Luna was also tired form searching, even if Celestia used alot of her magic to heal injuried guards, flying for 4 hours all over the place after a long battle was also very tiring.

But Celestia refused as she teleported herself and Luna into dungeon.

...

Dungeon, Mind Slaver prison Cell

...

In flash Celestia and confused Luna was next to cell room where Mind Slaver was sleeping, " Celestia, mind explaining what is so importand that you had to teleport me here in sush haste, and why is dead body of this monster Mind Slaver in the cell ? " asked Luna as her confusion grown, before it hit her, that meaby if dead body is in prison, than he may not be dead, " wait, do not tell me he is ? "

" Yes, he is alive Luna, just like you, I asumed that Nightmare Moon killed him, I think that I would probably kill him if I were in there, since he used necromancy to revive element bearers and my personal students from they graves to fight for him, but he is alive " Celestia said with serious, yet tired tone as she could not hide her lack of energy.

" He did WHAT, and how do you know what happened in there, tell me everythink you know this instand " ordered Luna as she let her anger and lack of patience get best of her.

Celestia ignored this outburst as she told Luna everythink she learned from Spike

...

After 1 long explaining later

...

Luna and guards listened to the story with full interest, as much as it gave ansfers, it also gave more questions, " do, do you sugest that meaby, I mean, MEABY we did not tryed to kill Nightmare Moon, and instead we tryed to kill Nightmare Nyx ? " Luna asked as she tryed to colect every bit of information together.

" I wish to be know that to, but there is only one way to find the true without assuming anythink, and that is why I need you Luna " said Celestia, looking Luna in her eyes, as Luna started to understand.

" You want me to enter his dreams and than go to his memorys to find out the true, dont you ? ", on those words Celestia nod, Luna was alwais good in dark and mind magic, entering dreams for Luna was very easy, and if she focused enoght, she could watch someones memorys, Luna ofcourse respected other ponies privace to some level as she opened more in pass 400 years, but it was emergency and she was curious as well.

As Luna walked closer to Mind Slaver, watching him as was making her sick, her horn started to shine, her body turned into a mist as it entered Mind Slaver head.

Secounds passed like minutes, minutes like like hours, as finaly Luna went out and materialized back in front of Celestia, her sace was sad as she was crying.

Before Celestia could say anythink, Luna rushed her with hug as she crying on her back, " This was horrible, sob, what have we done ", said Luna, as Celestia embraced her and tryed to cheer up, " Please tell me everythink what you saw Luna ".

And than Luna started to tell Celestia as she saw Mind Slaver doing experiments, hurting and torturing many ponies, and as she saw how he tryed to summon army of Nightmare Moons only to get a Alicorn filly in exchange, as he tortured her only to retreat when royal guards came to capture him.

She also mentioned about how he was brainwashing ponies to do his job, most of Pupper Masters were doing everythink again they will, and only few of tham was wiling to help him as they gained position of power in exchange, as he secretly took control over some dragons to start international scandal between Dragonia and Equestria, as Spike was captured and used to search for gems and even for some political manipulation.

than she went into the time when he attacked, the moments where he was facing Nightmare Moon, to moment when he took control over her to play his little show, how Nightmare Moon and than Nyx fought him bravely, she confirmed what Spike said was true.

Whats more, Nightmare Moon took away Mind Slaver knowledge and power, making him just normal unicorn without even basic spells, what made Nightmare Moon even more powerful.

As she finished telling full story, both Luna and Celestia started to cry, if it was not for Nightmare Moons advices and fighting spirit, if it was not for Nyx defense and fighting skills, and if it was not for Nightmare Nyx honestly, they, Equestria and soon the world would be under Mind Slaver hoofs.

And all they gave her in exchange for this was blasting her already injuried body, and almost killed her, as they felt guild and regred for they actions, they started to wonder how long it will take before Nightmare Nyx will come to get her revange, or do they will be able to find her and appologice in time.

The room was heavy in sillent, as they turned they eyes into sleeping Mind Slaver, there was alot damage to repair, and once it is done, he would be put into trial, he was not danger any more, but for all he did, he deserved punishment.

Good Bye

Canterlot Castle, dungeon

Whats more, Nightmare Moon took away Mind Slaver knowledge and power, making him just normal unicorn without even basic spells, what made Nightmare Moon even more powerful.

...

3 Months after invasion week by week, Equestria

...

First 2 weeks Canterlot was receiving supplys and medical support from other citys, most resources went from Manhatten, when Ponnyvile tryed to offer some place to sleep for those who lost they homes.

There was not much rebuild done at that time since ponnies were bying mostly healed in hospitals, especialy guards, as for Celestia and Luna, they had a 2 weeks nap, 2 weeks, days and night they were sleeping, waking up only to move sun or moon before going to sleep again.

After those 2 weeks, Celestia and Luna took lead of rebuilding Canterlot and damaged houses, as city slowly returned to it is glory.

Royal Guard and Night Guard numbers were weakened as many of tham died during invasion, so once city was repaired, recruitation started to fill up weakened military power, it would take time for new recruits to gain experience so recruiting started fast.

Already 1 Month passed as situation stabilizated, yet search for Nightmare Moon were invain, as no traces were left from where to start search from.

Luna and Celestia increased the search, asking for aid from Griffon Empire, Dragonia and Zebria.

Zebria agreed to keep an eye open and alowed small search parties from Equestria to enter they country, Griffons also agree to search for Nightmare Moon, but they refused to let Equestria Royal Guards into they terytory, however Dragonia refused to search for Nightmare Moon and gave ultimatum that any royal guard who enter they terytory will be killed.

When search for Nightmre Moon was very active, Celestia and Luna organized trials again Mind Slaver and his cult members.

Almost all cult members were freed as innocent, as they were controled again they will, some of tham however were closed in prison from 30 years to 60 years as proves pointed that they helped on they own free will.

Mind Slaver was closed in Canterlot dungeon with full security for the rest of his live, but soon was found dead in his cell, first it was suspected that Guards killed him out of hate, but after closer investigation they found out it was a suicude what was even made to point out that guards killed him.

Mind Slaver loved to do experiments, to gain power and Knowledge, when Nightmare Moon took away his knowledge and power, and now as he was closed in prison, he could not stand it and finaly killed himself, still as a small revange for bad treatmet from the guards, he made it look like they killed him just so they will get into trouble.

Another Month passed, everythink was peaceful again as no new threats appeared, but Celestia and Luna knew that one day Nightmare Nyx will return to get her revange.

Celestia and Luna did her best to find Nightmare Nyx, only to appologice for what they did, hoping to find peaceful solution befor it will be to late.

During invasion Luna did quite nice on the battlefield again Mind Slaver and Nightmare Moon, when Celestia was not much of a help, knowing that and knowing how she will need to defend her subjects again, Celestia decided to ask Luna and Royal Guards to train her in battle so she will be ready when the time come, but it was top secret as Celestia learning how to fight would probably put

As another Month passed with no result in searching, they asumed that Nightmare Moon must be hiding in Dragonia in one of Mind Slaver old hideouts, and since Spike was once forced to work for him there, he decided to investigate it.

As Dragon, Spike had no troubles moving around Dragonia, even if he was one of Equestria Guards, the fact that he was trusted dragon who helped with a few political problems in the pass was enoght for him to move around freely.

...

3 Month after invasion, Dragonia, Mind Slaver hideout.

...

After traumatic events what took place during the invasion where Nightmare Moon fought bravely again Mind Slaver, only to end up with Celestia and Luna trying to destroy her in the end, Nightmare Nyx was forced to spend pass 3 Months on Exile in Dragonia.

Even thought Celestia and Luna knew about this hideout sinde Spike knew about it, they could not search for her here since Dragonia and Equestria are on very bad relationships thanks to Mind Slaver manipulations, and even after Mind Slaver defeat when many brainwashed dragons recovered from his control, it end up dragon blaming ponies for treating dragons like a toys and using for they shemes, what only increased pression and isolation, as Dragonia declarate to kill any Pony Royal Guard who will be found in they terytory, and any pony who would want to visit will need to have permission, and even than his or her live would not be quaranted safely.

And so Nightmare Nyx, safe from Celestia and Luna who seek to destroy her, was now studing, and she had aloooot to study, there was alot of knowledge what Nightmare Moon absorbed from Mind Slaver, and so Nightmare Nyx tryed her best to memorize it before it would perish.

But it turn out realy good, Nightmare Nyx even thought was only born 5 Months ago, she was already quite mature and had huge trist for knowledge, not realy sure do it was because of her loneliness as she had to take her mind away from it, or because learning was the only think she could do since she had no one to play with.

And so for 3 Months, Nightmare Nyx was studing huge ammount of knowledge, and it was fun for her like it was natural, and why should not, she was born from 4 soul fragments of 4 diferent Nyx's, and they all had big trist from knowleadge, not to mention they were bying raised by Twilightn Sparkle herself, and she was also born from 10 soul fragments from 10 diferent Nightmare Moons, most of tham had desire for power, but 2 or 3 just enjoyed learning new thinks.

Just 6 days ago Nightmare Nyx learned self shifting spell as she now tryed to practice it over and over, and today she was about to test do her Dragon disquise would work out.

...

Dragonia, market

...

Markets were realy rare in Dragonia, but it was an importand political and economical place, when some independent and grown up dragons were trying to survive on they own, some smaller and more smart decided to open stores.

The main valute in dragonia were gems, they were both food and valute at the same time, the bigger, more rare or more tasty gem, the higher worth, and where some dragons would perfear to have many low Quality gems, some dragons were ready to trade alot for high Quality ones, so the worth of valute base on every dragon opinion, so many dragons often had both low and high Quality gems for trade.

Nightmare Nyx, now in disquise as a small dragon, was walking around market, trying to learn more of dragon culture, since market was place where all kind of dragons and other species gathered to trade before going back to bying individuals leaving in caves with they tresures.

As Nightmare Nyx was walking the street, she noticed as most of customers walking around were dragon miners and diamond dogs, and why not, since gems were main food and valute here, it was simple that most common job for a dragon was mining and exploring caves in search for gems, and where are gems, are also Diamond dogs, mining or bying gems for thamself.

Nightmare Nyx stop before two shops, one of tham was small, and on the other side of the desk was small size dragon wearing glasses, it was probably kid who liked to read books, in Dragonia small dragons who read and study were treated poorly as it was seen as weakness.

Nightmare Nyx looks around as she saw diferent armors and scales for sells, but what was supricing was that not only all those armors were made from dragon scales, they were with diferent size, one was a very heavy and super hard armor what would suit pony perfectly, inside it Royal Guard would look like some sort of Dark Knight from the legend.

Next armor was more suitable for griffons and pegasus, as it had special openings for wings and claws/hoofs, there were also small size shields made from dragon scales, helmets with light protection for horn, and yet had some openings to not slow down unicorn from casting spell.

" Hello, my name is Night Nyx and I m new here, may I ask you some questions " asked Nightmare Nyx, as she tryed her best to act like a dragon.

" Ofcourse, I see why not " reply dragon kid, his voice seems rather calm and cheerful.

" I noticed that those armors are made from dragon scalles, may I ask how do you get those scales and why not use iron or steel instead ? " asked Nightmare Nyx.

" Oh, you must be reeeaaaly new here if you do not know this ", Dragon kid watched Night Nyx closely, checking her features, " well than, it will be my plesure to tell you what is going on here ", ansfered Dragon kid as he went into LECTURE MODE.

" First off, my name is Andy, but others call me Glass head, nice to meet you " said dragon as he handshake Night Nyx.

" My older brother is the one supplying the scales, you see, we dragons can cut off our scales and use it as build materials, not every dragon is born with scales on scales, but those who are can cut off first scales without felling pain, as for dragons with just 1 line of scales, doing that will injure tham greatly, that is why armor selling is limited ".

On those words Night Nyx nod as dragon Andy continued, " dragon scales are fully fireproof, and probably the hardest material in the world, well, almost the hardest, but you get the picture ".

Night Nyx sit down as it was going to take a while, " cuting off scales from dragons what have 2 lines of scales is easy, and scales grown back on they own overtime, but the problem is making armor, weapon or any other item from tham, unlike any metal, scales are fireproof, and we failed to create fire strong enoght to melt it, because of that we use special alchemy recipte what is able to melt dragon scales together, this recipty is secret and is diferent for every armor shop keeper, so do not ask what it is, ok, family secret " ansfered Andy, as his tone changed from lecturing to forbitting.

' So that is how Mind Slaver got dragon scales on his body to be resistand to arcade weapon, he spend in those lands very long time, so he probably bought alot armor and scales from those shops, I think it may be in handly in the near future, just in case Celestia or Luna will try to strike me with arkane weapons of they own ' thought Nightmare Nyx in her mind, ' you are learning fast little one, good job for noticing, I had exacly the same conclusion and idea just now ' ansfered Nightmare Moon inside her head.

" My shop specialize in making armors and weapons for all non-dragon species, like ponies and griffons, we could make some for zebras and buffalos, but they are not interested, sadly increasting tense between Equestria and Dragonia was very bad for my business, as I can not sell or export any more armors and scales to Equestria to receive gems in the end, lucky for me, Griffons and Changelings are alwais interested in good armors made from dragon scales, "

" Wait, changelings buy armor from you ? " asked Nightmare Nyx as one of her friends in her head told her story that there was a changelings invasion 409 years ago, and Luna once mentioned that there was once an open war between Changelings and Ponnies since anty changelings policy was put in motion, changelings unable to steal love started to fight off.

" Oh yes, they sure do, after war between Changelings and Equestria, changelings instead of disquising thamself to steal love, started to capture ponies to drain tham from love, I quess they are desperate to survive, and they need strong armor to fight off Royal Guards, after all they base on numbers, not quality when it comes to fight. " ansfered kid as he knew quite alot about history, and his nick glass head was probably like egg head in pony terms.

" Thank you, you sure know alot, but may I ask, this shop next to yours what is far bigger, it also sell armor, but faaar biger, do dragons also use armor from dragon scales ", asked Night Nyx wondering why dragons would want to use dragon scales as armor, after all they are already hard without it, and armor made from dragon scales is quite heavy.

" Oh, thats true, Dragons do wear armor from dragon scales, however it is rather for duty, normaly dragon scales can withstand all kind of punishment and puting extra weight would not do any good, but when it come to war or to guard Dragon King, every soldier and knight require to have at last 1 armor made from dragon scales, after all our scales are not unpenetrable, and even if heavy, on war some extra scales can safe dragon live. " said Andy, very proud of himself with head kept high.

" Wow, seems that making armors is a serious business here, in any case you got me very interested, I would like to buy 2 tons of dragon scales, medium and high quality 1 to 1, how much it will cost me " said Nightmare Nyx as she point out scales.

" Realy ? but why would you want to buy small scales, dragons alwais buy big scales for thamself, and why only scales instead of finished armor ?" asked Andy, as he started to get suspicious of Night Nyx.

" Well..... mmmmm..... like I said, you got me very interested, so I decided to check out for myself do I would be able to build somethink from those scales, I realy like learning new thinks " ansfered Nightmare Nyx as she tryed to find an excuse.

After moment of silence as Andy was watching Night Nyx as he suspected that somethink is not right, " good enoght for me, I alwais like to help out someone who seek knowledge, here you go, " as Andy put scales on big weight, " 1 ton of medium and 1 ton of high guality scales, normaly it will be 12 tons of low guality gems, 6 tons of medium guality gems or 3 tons of high guality ones, but since you want it for knowledge, I will give you 10% discound, how is that sound ?

" Sounds great, but I m afraid I have only high guality gems and some rare ones, how much it will be ? " Night Nyx asked, she indeed had only the best ones as she found alot of tham in storage in Mind Slaver hideout, and even as Alicorn, she could not cary to many tons with her, dragon disquise gave her only minimal bonus to strenght.

" You have a rare ones cool, my bother love rare ones, can you show me ", on those words Nightmare Nyx showed some rare gems to Andy, " Wow, they looks awesome, my brother would love to have tham, I think 0,2 tons of those rare ones will do, and can you give the red ones, it is his favorite color.

Nightmare Nyx was very lucky that shopkeeper brother love rare gems, since she had alot of tham, it greatly afected the price in her favor, now all there was left was to buy some food and water and she could go back into hideout, the question was how would she explain why dragon want to buy Hay and ApplePie, it would be best to change disquise into ponylike, but with harsh policy again ponys it would be to risky.

As Night Nyx was listening to dragon Andy lecture, she noticed a familiar purple dragon ' SPIKE, HERE ? '

Next to her was now a medium size dragon, it was Spike, the only one dragon Knight in Equestria.

" What kind of armor a big and strong dragon like you search for ? I have all kind of best stuff here, from a 3 like dragon scale body armor what will stop even the most fearceful claw attack, to powerful Mace with dragon claws on it, it will crush the hardest of sculls and penetrate the bigest of scales " said a grown up green dragon, he was intimidating, he was big, he had eyepad on his eye where everyone could easy see a scar, his claws were big and his scales were long and pointy.

" Hey there Scull Crusher, it is me Spike, as much as I would love to exchange my old damaged armor with a new one, this is now why I m here, at last not at the moment, I m searching for informations " said Spike as he gave a five with shopkeeper.

" Is it realy you Spike, you little pony princess knight, it has been quite long time since you visited me, all I hear about you was that you was searching for gems, but I see that you did not got fat, haha, well, do not say a word, I bet you were send here to find that Nightmare somethink, whatever, any Pony or even Alicorn who will show up face here will be crushed, so you will just waste your time asking around ", on those words Nightmare Nyx gulped, now disquise as pony was out of question,

" Thanks for the info, I will be on my way than, if no one noticed her, it mean she must be still in Mind Slaver hideout, I think I will pay her a visit " said spike as he was watching weapons, " oh, and I think I will buy a 10 tons shield, as long as it have magic protection enchancement on it, I fell that I will use one, here, have 30 ton of high quality gems, keep the change.

" Hahahahaha, you realy know what you want, and that is what I like in you spike, I will ask my zebra worked to put some enchantements on this shield, all enchancements are ready so it will take only 10 minutes, take your time " ansfered shop keeper as he took shield for enchanting.

' We have only 10 minutes before he will fly to our hideout, we must haste and prepear a trap, hurry ' Nightmare Nyx did not wasted any time, " thank you very much for all those informations, but I need to go before my parents will burn me up a bit for bying late, bye " said Nightmare Nyx as she took gems and went away in hurry, " Good bye, hope to see you again " said Andy as he waved his hand.

Nightmare Nyx tryed to find a place where she could drop her disquise and than quickly return to her hideout, even as Alicorn she would have troubles to fly fast with 2 tons of dragon scales and 2 tons of gems she had with her, and dragon disquise, even if made her bigger, gave only minimal buff to strenght, if she would put disquise of even bigger dragon, she would be unable to have it is strenght.

As Nightmare Nyx found a safe spot to transform, she levitated all her gems and scales, and teleport back to her hideout, and the moment she was back, she started to prepear for Spike visit, sure she not wanted to hurt him, but if he would find her, he would send letter to princess Celestia with informations where she was hiding, or even worse, he would smugle princess Celestia and Luna in his armor, as Nightmare Moons and Nyx's started to laught in her head as they imaginate Celestia and Luna hiding inside Spike armor for entire trip.

...

30 minutes later, Nightmare Nyx hideout, Dragonia

...

Spike was standing in front of camuflaged entrance, as he opened it with his hands, there was after all big entrance made for him so he could deliver gems when he was Mind Slaver servant.

As he entered, he started to look around searching for Nightmare Moon, a big 10 ton anty magic shield on his left arm, but there was just a creepy silence around, all lighting gems off as there was no entrance for natural wing inside the hideout.

It was quiet, to quiet, as he was now standing in the middle of main room, than he noticed somethink, there were small leftovers of food on table next to bocksheef, some books opened, it was a prove, Nightmare Moon or somepony was here.

" SHOW YOURSELF " said Spike with a strong dragon voice, far more intimidating than his little voice he had when he was kid.

But there was no ansfer, only echo in the hall, " STOP HIDING AND FACE ME, I KNOW YOU ARE HERE, " said Spike as he tryed to provoce Nightmare Moon to reveal herself, actualy he wanted to explain her that Celestia and Luna want to appologice, and ask her to come with him, but to do this, he first need to find her and survive, it was risk he was willing to take.

" Are you sure you want to face me, it may be to much for even so brave dragon to handle " said Nightmare Moon as her voice went from all around.

" YES, I WANT TO FACE YOU, NOW REWEAL YOURSELF ", Spike said as he hide behind his shield waiting for attack, " as you wish " said Nightmare Moon, as she was not standing behind Spike.

Spike turned around right away as he saw Nightmare Moon, for a moment he was about to make step back out of fear, but than remembered that he is a brave knight, and that Nightmare Moon may still be Nightmare Nyx, a honest little Alicorn Celestia told him about, so he gathered his bravery as he started to walk foward Nightmare Moon step by step.

" You are probably thinking that I was send here by Celestia and Luna to destroy you ", said Spike as he walked into Nightmare Moon direction.

" Ofcourse not, you have diferent intentions in mind " ansfered Nightmare Moon, as she walked into Spike direction step by step.

" Realy, thats great, so you also must know that Celestia and Luna do not want to hurt you " said Spike as he hoped that Nightmare Moon will come with him and everythink will end without another war.

" Oh ofcourse, they do not want to hurt me, and why would they send they brave and importand Knight to fight a battle he can not win " said Nightmare Moon with calm, yes sad voice as she made more steps.

" This makes everythink easier, now come with me to canterlot, there is alot to talk about " said Spike as he showed his hand to Nightmare Moon as asking to jump on, but instead Nightmare Moon made a few steps back.

" Celestia and Luna send you here to see if I m here, as you can send a direct message to Celestia anytime, and than they can teleport here, using you as a tracking point for they teleportation, well to bad, because this place is sealed from outside world, teleportation and searching spell wont penetrate, your plan failed " ansfered Nightmare Moon, this time in higher voltume and dissapointment in her voice.

" Why would they want to do that, they do not want to hurt you, you said yourself they do not want to do that, so why you are afraid of tham ? " asked Spike, now a bit stresed about situation he was in.

" Ofcourse I know they do not want to hurt me, because they want to destroy me, one quick strike in the neck, quick and painless, like Celestia tryed to do in her Throne room " now there was alot anger in her voice, forcing Spike to back a bit.

" It is not like that, I told tham what happened, and they know the truth, they want to appologice, please, listen to me " said Spike only to be pressed to the floor by gravitation spell created by Nightmare Moon, ofcourse increasing weight off small Alicorn and a big heavy dragon were 2 diferent thinks, as the biger and more heavy opponent, the more energy gravitation field require, and it would also damage Spike alot if she would use full power, so she just triple his weight.

" Safe those sweet lies for yourself, they saw the true they wanted, and I m already to powerful to be trusted, not to mention that Elements of Charmony can not longer stop me, my death is the only solution they will choice, but I wont let tham and you trick me ", said Nightmare Moon with sad voice, her voltume low this time, as she increased Spike weight even more.

" I do not lie, please trust me " said Spike as Nightmare ansfered, " I wish I could trust you, for the sake of Nightmare Nyx, but it is to late now, now go back to your princess and send her this message, and do not come back here or else I wont hessitate to punish you deeper " , after those words, Nightmare Moon levitated small scroll with message on.

Spike just nod his head as Nightmare released him from gravitation field after she put a sillent spell on him, as he walked outside in silence, door to her hideout closed behind him.

After taking his breath, he send scroll directly to Celestia with his dragon flame, and than flew back, his head down in defeat.

...

Equestria, Canterlot Castle, Throne room

...

Celestia was at the moment talking with ponies one by one as a long line of ponies with petytions formed in front of her, talking and ansfering to problems from her subjects was very importand part of leading the country, as a message showed out in front of her.

Celestia levitated this message, " Please excuse me for a moment ", other ponies made half bow as Celestia walked away to read message in privace, and it was a good choice, because right after she opened it, her Jaw droped, not somethink princess would want to be seen doing.

Dear princess Celestia

I would like to thank you for your concern and attention you put into finding and destroying me, but I would like to ask to have some privacy, so please, ask your dear Knight Spike to stay away from my hideout for his own safely.

And please, do not go so low to lying and giving me false hopes, it is very clear that I m threat to you and your Kingdom, a threat what need to be eliminated, telling me that you are sorry only to lure me out and than kill is very, very low.

As for Spike invitation into the castle, well, I do not fell like going today, I will come to you and Luna on time of my choicing, and than we will settle it once and for all.

Your faintfull enemy, Nightmare Moon

Ps: ask spike to not eat so many gems, it is not to healty for him.

Once Celestia finished reading, she droped message, ' so it is realy to late, she do not trust us anymore, and the only chance to survive for her is to destroy us before we destroy her, I was afraid it may happen, but now there is no step back ' Celestia thought to herself, as she knew that another war is unavoidable.

...

Dragonia, Nightmare Nyx hideout

...

' And what if he was telling the truth, what if Celestia and Luna are sorry for what they did ' asked Nightmare Nyx in her head as she talked with Nightmare Moons.

' And what if it was just a trap, Celestia and Luna are desperate to avoid another war, they will even lie if it would save they subjects, not that it is bad think, but I would not take the risk '

' And even if it was not lie, we are just to powerful, we are threat to tham, sooner or later they would banish or seal us away at best, by watching our memories in dreams you should know by now that we do not have a good reputation, as sad as it is true, our only option is to go to another Equestria where we can live in a low profile, everypony here will be happy when we will be gone '

' If you think so, I trust your judgement, but it still make me sad, I personaly would take the risk, but we are all in the same body, and so we need to do what is the best for all of us, no place to be selfish.'

' Well thought. '

After Spike left and message was send, Nightmare Nyx would not risk of bying ambushed or forced to fight, she had to go to new hideout, lucky Mind Slaver had more hideouts in Dragonia, as Nightmare Nyx used another dark orb to transport gems, dragon scales, books and all valiuable materials with her.

And so she continued her study and forged basic armor for herself made from dragon skales, it was experimental one, but it was a good start and basic protection from so deadly to her magic enchanted weapon.

As the time passed, Nightmare Nyx learned more and more, and it never got boring for her, she also explored Dragonia a little with her disquise as small black dragon, and soon she was ready to finaly open portal to another dimention.

...

Meanwhile

...

Celestia told Luna about message from Nightmare Moon, and it was only confirmed as Spike returned to Equestria, both Celestia and Luna started to train to be ready for battle, ofcourse they trained at night time when no one else than Guards would see Celestia practicing her fighting abilities.

Royal Guard patrols were also increased, comming Months were realy hard for tham as they had to expect Nightmare Moon attack any day or night, and as much as it was a good practice for the guards, it had also opposite efect as after many months of active patroling and increased security, many guards started to get tired and stressed, and this weaken the security of Canterlot snce it is impossible to be on high alert all time when there are no attacks or threats and even best guards started to take high alert more lighty.

Element Bearers wanted to be in help, but Celestia refused it, as they could not charm Nightmare Moon, and elements are to vital for Equestria security to take the risk, from now on it was a battle to settle down between Alicorns.

...

Dragonia, Nightmare Nyx hideout, 1 full year after invasion.

...

Nightmare Nyx studies went realy well, she already mastered all basics spells and many advances ones, she could not match up again experiecned guard or averge solar, yet it was enoght to not relly on Nightmare Moon or Nyx in every small cases.

What was the most importand, she finaly succed it opening portal to another dimention, she did not used it because it was a 1 way road and Nightmare Nyx realy wanted to say good bye to Celestia, Luna and Canterlot staff.

Now since she had an escape option if Celestia or Luna would want to hurt or kill her, she would show tham that threat is they are so afraid is leaving and will never come back, the last think she wanted to do was to leave to another dimention leaving Celestia and Luna on high alert for hundreds of years, what actualy was an amusing even to think about it for Nightmare Moon.

But the turning point was her discovery 2 months ago, it seems that her powers she absorbed from Puppet Masters and Mind Slaver were just temporary, her body could store this power and use it, but it could not recover, and overtime as Nightmare Nyx was using it, it was going down and down, it was to slow to notice at first, but after so many months the diference was to big to ignore,

She noticed it when she was disquised as Dragon, as gems she cary with her happened to fell more heavy than usual, and she alwais took the same weight of gems with her, after she noticed it, she tryed to find out by weight lifting with magic and with her hoofs, and everyday she could lift a little bit less, and so she found out that her body can not recover energy she absorbed, and once she use it all, she will once again be small Alicorn filly, time was again her.

She ofcourse had the idea that meaby it will be are reason to not be threat and that she can once again be little filly playing in Canterloc Castle as she once did, but there was also risk that Celestia and Luna would strike her down the moment her powers would run out, as she and her friends in her head vote, they decide to stay with orginal plan.

And so the day has come, a day to settle everythink, a day to say good bye and foward into adventure to other dimention, in search for a place what she could call home, it was indeed a importand day, a day when Nightmare Nyx was going to make her first CHECKLIST.

' Ok, today we are going into another dimention and before that, we will say good bye to princess Luna and Celestia, and whoever we can in Canterlot Castle so they can finaly have a stressless sleep, this will be road of no return and many dangers may wait for us, do we are all ready ? '

' Sir yes sir ' reply Nightmare Moons and Nyx half joking, it was indeed an very importand day, but a bit of fun was never a bad think.

' Good, than first lets start with Equipment what I put inside black hole in our mane '

Equipment checklist

1 - 100.000 bits stored by Mind Slaver, probably stolen but who cares

' Check '

2 - 140 tons of low, medium, high and rare Quality gems, most of tham delivered by Spike when he was Mind Enslaver slave

' Check '

3 - Books with knowledge about interdimentional and time travels left by alicorn race 10.000 years ago

' Check, also, now that you read about this, it sounds like equipment for some huge adventure, I thought we just want to find home and settle down '

4 - Books with spells about Necromancy, Light magic, Dark arts, Elemental magic, Ilusion magic, Healing magic, potion receptes, Book about summoning, Book about golem crafting, Book about armors and weapons for Royal Guards, Coocing book.

' Check, and now seriously, it sounds like equipment to take over the world, do we realy need it ? '

5 - 4 Battle orbs and 4 battle golems.

' You know we are not going on war '

6 - Armors of diferent sides made from dragon scales, shield from dragon scales and lance from dragon claw.

' Check, I perfear my silver armor, but extra armor will never hurt, I hope we can paint it with white/silver color.'

7 - 10 tons of Food and 5 tons of water with with preservation spells on.

' Check, but you sure we will need that much, we do not take army with ourself, dont we ? '

8 - 14 powerful artifacts with no magic in at the moment.

' check, also, in my personal opinion we take far to much, do not forget that the biger the space for equipment, the more magic it cost to open and close it, we may end up unable to open our storage with so much stuff in once most of our powers will fade '

' Perfect, we are set up for adventure, now time to check another checklist '

Steps to do, Checklist

1 - Check do you have all stuff from Equipment check list.

6 - Set up a nice home

7 - Find friends

9 - Profit, have a long, peaceful and happy live.

' Everythink seems well planed, we are ready everyone, foward into adventure '

And so Nightmare Nyx started to fly to Equestria into Canterlot castle, with plan in her head, goal she is willing to accomplish, and equipment with what she can couquer or save the world inside her mane.

...

2 days later, somewhere in Equestria

...

' I wonder do Celestia and Luna will be supriced when I arrive ? ' asked Nightmare Nyx as she flew quietly in the night, hoping to blend into the night sky to avoid detection, what was not realy hard since night was her ground.

" I doubt it, there are so many night guards patroling all over the place, and they vision is enchanted, we wont be able to fool tham for long '

' You got a point, so how do we get into the castle, should we use invisibility spell or turn into mist ? ' asked Nightmare Nyx in her mind, trying to choice a way to infiltrate into the castle.

' I m not realy sure, we after all gave tham all the ideas how to infiltrate they castle on the silver plate, remmeber ? ' ansfered Nightmare Moon in sarcasm.

' Oh, right, my bad 'Nightmare Nyx thought as she remmebered that Canterlot is practicaly Nightmare Moon prove after the last invasion, but 1 full year was enoght to find some flaws in the defensess.

' There is no way we can get into the Castle without alarming the guards, but we may still get closer to the castle unoticed, all we need to do is destroy protection spells first ' thought Nightmare Moon as they put invisibility spell what in the night was making it impossible to find her, invisibility spell is not perfect and require constand concentration what make it inpractical in battle, but still perfect for stealth missions.

Nightmare Nyx as Nightmare Moon now flew closer to the city and scan the area with her magic, and like radar it detected small magic power disturbances, those were the targets.

Security spells were more like a peace of papers with small magic rune on it, somethink like magic charms, base on the rune and ammound of magic powers used to create it, it would perform diferent duty, most of runes in the city were set up to uncover ilusion and shapeshifting spells, so disquise was out.

Some other runes were ment only to detect power disturbances, so it would start the alarm when anythink with high ammound of power would enter it is range, it was set up to not react to guards and princesses, but it would react on Nightmare Moon no matter how hard she would try to hide her powers.

The last line of defense were explosive runes what were ment to knock out anythink what react with other runes, as well as to react in contact with magic mist what Luna and Nightmare Moon were so popular for.

With so many night guards all over the place, burning out runes at range would be very hard, the moment guard would notice it missing, the would start the alarm.

' Ok, this is it, do not screw up now ' Nightmare Moon thought to herself as she took deep breath, " I will use invisibility spell and mist form to move around and burn those magic charms on the way unoticed by guards, but it is only matter of time before they notice missing charms, so they moment they set alarm, it will be up to you Nyx " on those thoughts, Nyx agreed as she had her own plan what to do the moment Guards set up the alarm.

...

20 minutes later

...

Slowly but steady Nightmare Moon was getting closer to the castle, as she went on the city streets buring chams and evading the guards on the way.

Meanwhile one of the Night Guards noticed tiny flash and decide to investigate, " thats weird " one of the guards said as he pointed his hoof at small flash, " oh, it must be one of the unicorns using illumination spell to move around, even with city on high alert, we can not expect tham all to sit in they houses during the night :" other guard ansfered, but the first guard did not wanted to take any risk, " I m going to investigate it ".

" Ok, but do it quick " said other guard as he wafed his hoof, it has been so many months since castle was put on high alert, and checking every single Unicorn who wanted to walk over the street at night started to annoy him overtime.

The first guard slowly walked in place where he thought he saw the flash as he started to look around, ' thats odd ' thought the guard, ' there was a high range power detection charm in here, if Nightmare Moon would be here, it would react, meaby it was one of her soldier, pegasus for example since, wait a moment ' it struck him as he noticed that there is no rune, ' I m sure there was rune in here, meaby I m just imagining '.

The other guard waited flying steady in the air, as he noticed a flash not long way from where the other guard was checking at the moment, ' fine, I quess I can remaind those nobles to not walk on the street at night, even if it is almost 1 year, it is still high alert ' thought the guard as he flew into direction of the flash.

As the guard started to search around for the unicorn, his patrol partner flew to his side " I did not found anyone, but somethink is odd, the security magic charm, it is not there ", other guard ansfered, " yes, thats very odd, I saw a flash as well and another rune is missing, do you think what I m thinking ? "

As both guards nod, they rushed to the next closer security magic charm only to see another flash, this time they noticed that it was slowly burning and turning into ash as it dissapeared in the air, one of the guards was standing in confusion when the other decided to rush closer to the scene, he quicly turned his left to left and right, than above, " I know you are here, SHOW YOURSELF " said night guard loudly.

For a moment there was nothink but sillent, as it was in the middle of the night, everyone were sleeping so it was awfully quiet, quiet enoght for a guard to hear hoofsteps, as he hear it he turned only to see nothink, but on the closer inspection he was as small rock on the ground was pushed a bit to the left, and than the guard started to see like the air is moving, by instinct the quard tackled air in front of him and he felt somethink hard and yet softy coliding with his helmet, and there was a noice like somethink hit the ground.

" Aha, invisibility spell, I knew it, to bad that Luna trained us how to detect the user " and by saying those words, guard tossed small black gem and in moment black smoke appeared, only to dissapear leaving Nightmare Moon herslef on the ground in front of the Guard.

" Night, Nightmare Mooooon " said guard in shock, but quickly turned his expression into anger, as he took battle stage, " so you finaly showed up, surrender or face the wrath of the Night Guards " said quard as he wafed his bat wings trying to be intimidating, he actualy asked to surrender out of protocol, he wanted nothink else than to slam Nightmare Moon into closer building.

But the moment bat guard rushed into Nightmare Moon, she turned into mist, and it result in guard hiting the building with his head, " outh, ...., how dare you trick me like that, I will " before the guard could finish, he noticed he was captured in dark aura, " release me and fight hoof to hoof you coward " said guard as he tryed to get free from telecinetical grab.

Nightmare Moon watched in the eyes of the guard only to hear other guard behind him, " NIGHTMARE MOON, SET UP THE ALARM, WE ARE UNDER ATTACK ".

" So much to be stealthy " said Nightmare Moon as she watched in the eyes of the guard again, the bat guard however watched back, she saw fear in his eyes, but also anger and determination, " as much as I would like to check up what you bat ponies are made off, I gave my promisse to avoid fight, so the last think I have to say to you is " Nightmare Moon said with calm but cold voice, as she put her face closer to bat pony, the Night Guard on the other hand just split up in her face.

" Whats the matter, scared ? well, you should be " said guard as other Night Guard patrols were flying in they direction, but Nightmare Moon only looked around and than turned her face to locked in his eyes again, as she smiled, than her body started to change, typical Nightmare Moon armor turned into silver heavy armor, and her mane turned from full of stars blue mane into violet one, with made the guard panic a bit as well as confused him.

" I would like to say good bye from Nightmare Nyx, and please tell other guards that she say good bye, and those guards who played with small dark Alicorn in the castle, tell tham that Nyxie will miss tham and that she is grateful for all the fun she had ", after those words, Nyx relased the guard, his face still full of confusion, as Nyx turned himself into mist and reunited into 4 Alicorns, " please, do not forget to send that message once everythink will be over, please " said 4 Nyxs with pleading tone as they all rushed into air with high speed in diferent directions.

The guard was sitting down in confusion until his partner flew to him, with after they both flew in pursuit.

' I hope that he will pass the message ' thought Nyx as he and his clones flew around canterlot Castle, she however hide herself for moment in one of castle towers and made another clone, before she turned himself into mist and hide, as the guards entered the tower and followed another clone, Nyx in mist form flew deeper into the castle.

Princess Luna was doing her usual duty with Night council members, even 1 year after invasion, there was still much to do, and between training Celestia in combat and repairing the damage, Luna had alot of work on her own, not that she complained but it was still a bit stressful to be on high alert everyday.

As she was talking with counciel members, one of the Night Guards rushed into conference room, " NIGHTMARE MOON, nightmare moon attack the castle ", before any coucil members could start to panic, Luna flew out of the room like a rocket, leaving everyone in the room, as panic turned into confusion.

" Ummm, so what we are going to do now " asked the guard as he watched at council members who looked back at him.

After minute of sillent, one of council members broke the sillent, " I assume that the best course of action would be taking shellter until the invasion is over ", on those words other members nod they head as they quietly followed the guard into safe location.

Outcast Canterlot Castle

...

As Luna flew out to examine the situation, she did not expected what she saw, as 4 black Alicorns in silver armor were apperantly runing away from over 200 of her Night Guards, the bat ponies were specialy enchanted by Luna herself, they were not as fast as Solar guards since bat wings did not gave much speed, but they vision in the night was greatly increased and they were more agile and had better senses, just like bats they could use ultrasonic wafes to run around the city with easy as long as they did not used full speed.

2 black Alicorns what were runing around the city were slowly geting surrounded by Night Guards, but those in the air managed to outspeed tham with easy, after moment of analizing the situation Luna decided to assist in capturing those what are in the air.

" So the Night I and my sister fear has come, well, I m not going to back down " said Luna as she followed black Alicorn, " silver armor, she must be in Nyx form, and if I remember right from the invasion, she is very skiller in fighting and have powerful shield spells, it is not going to be easy battle ", said Luna to herself as she followed Nyx clone, looking around to make sure that she not hide army or trap somewhere near by.

Celestia bedroom

...

Princess Celestia was sleeping deeply in her bed and in a new bed next to her was sleeping princess Cadence.

Princess Cadence was not realy taking any part in politics, after Shinning Armor death she was busy raising they childrens as they left to start they own lives, Cadence was having hard time trying to forget about pony she loved so much and without childrens to take care off she could not take her mind away from pass memorys.

The worse part of living so long is the pain of lossing loved onces, and Cadence as Alicorn whos special talent is love was even more painful, as result it never crossed her mind to take active responsibilities in ruling Equestria, instead she spend her time in traveling form town to town, even to other countrys, trying to take her mind off those memories.

The bigest change in her live was when she found group of changelings what were dying from hunger, her fear and anger overtime turned into pity as she could not let tham starve, so she used her powers what worked extremaly well in feeding tham, and this is when she decided to spend more time to study changelings, and the more she learned, the more she tryed to help tham, since her powers were like perfect and pure food supply to tham.

She could not help entire swarm and so desperate wars between Ponies and Changelings were still going on, but those changelings what were tired of wars could alwais find asylium in Cadence house what soon turned into pony/changeling castle.

It was indeed very ironic that princess Cadence who first hoof experienced the war again changelings as her love was used by they Queen, was now using her love powers to build up peace between some ponies and some changelings what were tired of those wars and tryed to find a place they could live in peace.

It was exacly 4 months ago after invasion when one of changelings who was disquised as royal guard reported to Cadence about what happened, and as result princess Cadence became known as princess of changeling refuges.

After hearing the news, she went to Canterlot with group of friendly changelings to assist Celestia and Luna in fighting off Nightmare Moon.

It would not be easy for solar royal guards and citizens of Canterlot to accept changelings into they city, so all changelings were disquised as Night Guards and they secret was known only by Night Guards, Celestia and Luna, as Luna and Night Guards often invited in they ranks Griffons, Dragons and even Minotaurs, and to make sure they wont be discovered, they were patroling locations inside castle where there were no security charms.

Both Celestia and Cadence sleep was interupted as changeling disquised as Night Guard entered into bedroom, " PRINCESS CADENCE, we are under attack, wake up, wake up " screamed changeling in bat guard usual voltume, as he tryed to wake up Cadence.

On those screams Cadence slowly wake up, and follower her Celestia as she woke up too, " yaaaaawwwww, what is all the commotion " asked half asleep Cadence, as she noticed Night Guard in panic stage, she catch up quick that it was one of her changeling friends.

" Nightmare Moons are attacking, at the very moment Night Guards are fighting tham off ", on those words, Celestia ansfered in suprice, still half asleep, " yaaaww, uhhh, is this a dream, what do you mean Nightmare Moons, please explain "

asked Celestia as she thought that she hear it wrong.

Night Guard did not turned his eyes from Cadence as he ansfered still in panic stage, " there, there is 4 of tham fighting around the city very close to this castle, why there is 4 of tham I do not know, please princess Cadence, you need to take shelter ".

" No, I will not hide, please go and gather other changelings, we will fight her off together " said Cadence as she fully woke up, high determination in her voice and eyes, " I may be weak, and I may nor know how to fight, but I m not going to hide, we came here to help, and we will help ", on those words changeling in Night Guard form nod as he flew to gather the rest.

Meanwhile fully awake Celestia was thinking ' so the day, I mean night what I fear so much has finaly came, when Luna was about to return as Nightmare Moon 413 years ago, at last I had hope that Twilight will cure her with elements of charmony, now elements wont help and I will need to take the life of a innocent filly ', " Cadence, are you sure you " Celestia tryed to convince Cadence to take hiding only to be cut off, " no, I wont, I made up my mind and I will fight alongside you, alongside my friends, it was our decysions to help and we are not going to back down ".

Celestia was shocked by Cadence determination, ' did death of Shinning Armor and all those years of travel and living with changelings changed her so much.? ' thought Celestia as they both waited and watched how 10 of Night Guards formed in front of tham, but they were not her guards, they were Cadence guards.

" The time has come my friends, today we prove that ponies can changelings can work together for greater good, today we will fight alongside one another, today we will repay for the damage what changelings did 410 years ago, we will do our best to gain ponies trust or die trying " said Celestia to gorup of changelings disquised as night guards, what was the most shocking was how Cadence was refering herself to be with tham even thought she was not changeling herself.

" Yes princess ! " said all changelings in union just before 9 of tham turned they face to one of the guards and jumped on him, Cadence and Celestia was confused for a moment why changelings fight one another, just before a big green flame droped they disquise, as in front of tham were 9 black bugs like creatures with bug wings, horn on the head but almost no holes in they hoofs, they were all standing on the top of Night Guard what did not droped disquise.

" Drop your disquise Nightmare Moon " said one of the changelings in commanding tone before they were all pushed away with a shield, 9 changelings quickly recovered and formed a line in front if princess Cadence, as in front of tham was now standing Nyx with suprice and yet smile on her face.

Celestia and Cadence were shocked but slowly they expresion turned into fear and curiocity, " so you cape " said Celestia with sad and calm voice.

Nyx on other side paid her no main, he was watching at the group of changelings and pink Alicorn in front of her, " changelings working with ponies, I totaly did not expected that, you must be princess Cadence what Celestia told me about, I hear story that changeling Queen imprissoned you and that you and Shinning Armor repeled changeling invasion with love force field, quite orginal type of shield spells if you ask me."

Nyx just smiled even more as she pointed her hoof into Cadence, " and to think that you will be the one to cooperate with tham, normaly I would be far more suprice if not for the fact that Cadence from world I come from did exacly the same ".

Cadence did not said a word, as she started to focuse her horn, Nyx knew that without other 4 copies of herself she is far to weak to stand even again Celestia, not to mention that Cadence and group of changelings together is a total overkill, so she tryed to gain some time, " miss Cadence, I m sure Nightmare Nyx would love to meet you first, would you please hold your attack ? ".

Ignoring Nyx words, Cadence started to send her power to changelings, at first not much happened, but after a while, group of changelings started to grown a little, as they holes dissapeared complitly and horns started to glown in green/pink aura.

Celestia watched this scene in awe, but slowly she took happy and proud expression, ' love is indeed a powerful force, when Cadence charged Shinning Armor, they shield repeled entire invasion force, and now she is powering up group of changelings making tham unbelivably strong, so this is what she ment about fighting alongside tham, to ally and trust those who were your enemys require alot strenght, I m so proud of you Cadence ' thought Celestia as she watched group of changelings charged with love and ready for battle.

" And why I should not attack you after you tryed to sneak up here and ambush princess Celestia, 1 word and my friends will give you a lesson you will never forget " said Cadence as she hold hoof in air and changelings waiting for signal to attack.

" You may find it hard to belive, but I wished to talk with Celestia and Luna, I did not wanted anyone else involved ", at those words, Nyx turned her gaze to Celestia, " it is true that I came here to settle this once and for all, but I wish to talk first ".

On those words Celestia calmed down a bit, she knew that she will have to fight, but if there is any chance to solve this by talking, she would take it, " it is alright Cadence, let her talk ".

Cadence slowly put her hoof on her ground, as her friends stand down, she looked into Celestia with confusion, and than back at Nyx, " fine, if aunt Celestia agree to talk with you, I have nothink again it, but do one false move and you will regred it ".

Nyx was a bit worried, those changelings compromised her plan and until her clones what were send to distract the army will come back to her, she is on Celestia and Cadence mercy, but now she gained some time and she could as well use it for what she came here in the first place.

Nyx armor slowly dissapeared as she turned into Nightmare Nyx, ' seems that we got ourself into a huge mess Nyxie, better start saying goodbye to tham so we can get out of here before they will tear us apart ' told Nyx in Nightmare Nyx mind.

As Nyxie eyes slowly opened her eyes, she looked at Celestia and Cadence and black bug creatures what sit next to tham, " Ummmm, hello, ........., long time no seen " said Nyxie as she put her hoof behind her head with a embarased smile.

" Indeed, it has been a full year " said Celestia with rather cold and calm voice, " I would like to say how nice to meet you again, but it would be obvious lie ".

Celestia voice did not do anythink to make Nyxie relax, if it did somethink, it just made her more stressed, " well, you may not be happy from my visit, but well ...... I m happy to see you again Celly " said Nyxie as she tryed to break the tension in the air.

" Realy, I find it hard to belive, considering that last time we saw one another, I saw about to cut your head off " said Celestia, but this time her voice was full of sadness and regred, as she turned her gaze from Nightmare Nyx and started to watch the floor.

" Yes, you was very scary back than " said Nyxie now with a bit fear in her voice, as tension and akwardness around tham grown.

After minute of sillent, Cadence decided to break it, " um, so you are not Nightmare Moon ? " asked Cadence as she tryed to understand the story Celestia and Luna told her about events before the invasion 1 year ago.

" Yes and no " ansfered Nightmare Nyx as she looked at Cadence, " we kind of share the same body, at last until our souls merge, hehe " said Nightmare Nyx with hoof behind her head, even more embarased than before, as explaining to others that she have many soul parts in her head what slowly merge together with her is alwais weird and a bit akward.

This ansfer only confused Cadence more, " I see " said Cadence as she rolled her eyes, " Celestia told me that you, you had very, well, how to say it ........... hard childhood " said Cadence with depresing voice.

The mood broke even more as Nightmare Nyx wanted to forget her painful pass, " y..... yes, it was very hard indeed ".

Another akward sillence fulled bedroom.

" I ...., I ....., I m sorry " said Celestia as she turned her face away from black Alicorn, " s.... sorry, what for ? " asked Nyx with concern.

" I m sorry about what I tryed to do to you Nyxie " said Celestia as the moment when she tryed to cut off her head flashed in her mind.

On those words Nightmare Nyx smiled a bit, " You... you realy mean it ? "

" Yes, I mean it, when Spike explained " Celestia was about to explain that she is realy sorry for what happened with hope that fight can be avoided, when 4 black Alicorns flew into bedroom both from windows and main door, all of tham turned into mist and reunited with Nightmare Nyx, and moment later the same way flew inside Luna with 50 Night Guards, more would fly inside if it was not for the fact that there hardly was enoght space in 1 bedroom for so many guards.

The room rushed in confusion, Celestia, Cadence and 9 changelings were standing in fron of Nightmare Nyx, Luna land side next to Celestia, and army of Night Guards surrounded Nightmare Nyx as they did not pain attention to changelings what they knew about.

The tension in air was very heavy, all guards were ready to attack and Nightmare Nyx gave up control to Nightmare Moon in her panic.

Celestia and Cadence looked around as bedroom they shared was about to change into battlefield, Celestia was about to say somethink but Luna took the initiative, " I think this is rather small space for sush an event sister, what do you say to change the location " asked Luna as Celestia nod,

Both Celestia and Luna horns started to glow and in flash everyone who managed to enter bedroom was gone, leaving over 150 Night Guards outside, complitly confused with no idea where they should start searching for the princesses and Nightmare.

...

Throne Room

...

Flash

In flash, Celestia, Luna, Cadence, Nightmare Moon, 9 changelings and over 39 of Night Guards reappeared inside Throne room, but to Nightmare Moon and Cadence suprice, around 200 solar Guards stationed there as well, it was not long before they noticed Nightmare Moon and Changelings as they took battle position, and from the balcony flew another 150 Night Guards.

Now over 400 guards, Celestia, Luna and Cadence surrounded Nightmare Moon, when many of the solar guards tryed to surround 9 changelings only to be cut off by Night Guards.

' Say goodbye you thought, do not leave tham worried and on high alert for years you thought, well, you can say your goodbye now to all those guards around us before they will tear us apart ' thought Nightmare Moon as she noticed in how terrible bad situation she was in.

' I m afraid I must agree with Nightmare Moon, we are complitly outnumbered, 3 Alicorns, 9 super changelings and over 400 night and solar guards, right now I m not even sure do we can open portal and escape in time ' thought Nyx even more worried than Nightmare Moon, as Nightmare Nyx paniced.

The tension around grew, only one small action, 1 false move, and everythink will fall on her in a huge chain reaction, Nightmare Moon was standing still like stone, not a single muscle moved, not even blinked.

Meanwhile Celestia started to whisper somethink to Luna, when Cadence and group of Night Guards tryed to keep Solar Guards away from her changeling friends.

" EVERYONE, STAND DOWN " screamed Celestia and Luna together in a royal canterlot voice, they volume together was so high that everyone guard in throne room jumped a few steps back and started to stand like stone, as huge akward sillent fulled run with over 400 ponies inside.

" Good, now I asume theu came here for a reason, but may I ask why theu, I mean you, came here alown without army, did you honestly thought that you can take over Canterlot alown " asked Luna as she flew some metters above the floor, pointing her hoof into Nightmare Moon.

Nightmare Moon was still stoned, but moment later she relaxed a bit and ansfered in calm, cold voice " I came here to settle it once and for all, but I did not wanted to hurt anypony ".

Luna and Celestia started to think what she mean by not hurting anypony, " I think I understand Celly, she wanted to settle it between us without the guards involved, that is why she did not raised an army, nor she attacked any of my Night Guards ".

Celestia just nod as she raised her hoof, Luna as well " GUARDS, LEAVE " both Luna and celestia said in union in royal canterlot voice, as they pointed the door, guards were standing confused for a moment giving Celestia and Luna a stare, but after moment they started to leave one by one.

Now in throne room was only Luna, Celestia, Cadence and Nightmre Moon who was very supriced about what just happen, ' they asked her guards to leave, but why, she would crush us with numbers alown ' thought Nightmare Moon as Nyx add ' because they not want they ponies to be hurt, even if we would lose this battle, hundreds of guards would die with us '.

After all the guards left, Celestia turned her gaze to Cadence, " Cadence, would you and your friends please leave as well ? " asked Celestia with calm voice, " but Celly " Cadence tryed to argue only for Luna to interupt, " I must agree with Celestia, this is a battle between us and Nightmare Moon, we do not wish you and your friends to get hurt in our battle as well ".

As much as Cadence wanted to stand and fight, not only to protect Celestia and Luna, but also to prove that changelings can cooperate with ponies, but she knew that there would be no point in arguing, yet she was not going to give up that easy, the moment Celestia and Luna would get into trouble, she and her friends will be ready to interfere.

Slowly the throne room what was full to it is limits was now almost empty as 3 powerful Alicorns were standing in the cerner.

" You wish to settle this without anyone else involved, very well, we will play be your rules, it is at last the last think we can do after what we tryed to do to you " said Celestia as she and Luna charged they horns.

' I was afraid that this day will come, but this time I m ready to fight, sush a pity that it have to end this way, that we will need to destroy the one who saved us 1 year ago ' Celestia thought to herself as giant doors were sealed by her magic as well as balcony and windows.

Nightmare Moon was still in a shock, but she recovered sonce she noticed all entrances are sealed, that will complicate thinks a bit since she hoped to open portal outside the castle, " yes, I have came to settle it once and for all " Nightmare Moon said as she made few step foward, " but I do not wish to settle it by fighting ".

After those words, Luna and Celestia smiled, as they once again had hope to repair they mistake from year ago, " You, you did not ? " asked Luna and Celestia in union.

" No, I did not, I have somethink diferent in mind ", ansfered Nightmare Moon, now smiling.

" Have you came to gave us secound chance, so we can all forget about what happened 1 year ago and move foward ? " asked Celestia, as she wanted to confirm her hopes.

" No " Nightmare Moon ansfered coldly with malice in her eyes.

" But, you just said that you do not want to fight, please, I m realy sorry about what happened, I wish I could turn it back, but despice what happened, I will do my best to pay up for what we did " said Celestia fast with pleading in her voice.

" Do not lie, as much as I wish it to be true, it is just a lie, it is impossible to return now. "

Luna excitement once more turned into confusion, " what, but it is not a lie, you can return to us, and live with us in the castle, I will do my best to make up for what we did to you "

" So you can destroy me when I will expect it least " ansfered Nightmare Moon, this time with even more anger in her voice.

Luna step back speechless, " We would never do that, please trust us, we are ", said Celestia before Nightmare Moon cut off " I can not trust you, it is to risky "

" To risky, what do you mean ? " asked Celestia as her confusion grown.

" First off, I have power, knowledge and resources with what I can defeat you both and take over Equestria, this is the main reason of your fear, you will never take risk to trust someone who can overpower you and hurt your subjects, I m a threat, sooner or later you will banish or destroy me, and I wont take that risk. "

Celestia started to fell sadness and guild, as her hopes were broken, Nyxie did not wanted to trust her or Luna, because she is afraid that no one will trust her.

" Please Nyxie, we will never do that, and even if we would try, you can easy escape or fight again us, with so much power you do not need to fear us, and we do not fear you, we are realy sorry for what happened, we know the truth, so please, just trust us as much we trust you. " Luna desperatly tryed to calm down Nightmare Moon fears, but when she thought about it, she fear her a little bit, but she could deal with it.

" I wont be able to fight you off, I wont be safe, I just discovered that powers I absorbed are just temporary, overtime when I will use my magic and energy, I will slowly return to the size of defensless Alicorn filly, and it would be perfect opportunity to finish me off so that I wont be a threat in the future, it is risk that I and my friends in Nyxie mind decided not to take.

' She realy is slowly turning into filly again, it would be perfect, no one would need to fear her powers and we would rise her, but as good as it sounds, it seems impossible, she fear us, she fear that we can strike her down the moment she will be weak, the trust she had in us has gone 1 year ago ' thought Celestia as she had no idea what is going to happen, do they will fight after all, but she told tham that she do not want to fight, yet she wont live with tham in the castle, so how is she going to settle it once and for all, " so what will you do now ? "

On that questiion, Nightmare Moon smiled again as she waited exacly for that question, " oh, that is simple, I will

bid you farewell ", " What " both Celestia and Luna said in union.

" Are you going somewhere ? " asked Luna out of curiocity.

" Yes, I m, to a place faaaaar faaaar away from here, to a place unknown for me, from where you will never need to fear us again " reply Nightmare Moon as she started to wave her hoof in good bye as her horn started to charge, as she droped 1 or 2 tears.

" Where, where are you going too ? " asked Celestia, her voice full of fear, as her mind crossed many diferent ideas by what this filly mean, do she is going to another country, or do she want to end her live.

" I m going to another dimention, Mind Enslaver used interdimentional portal to summon power, I will use it to escape from this world "

" Wwww.... wait, you are just going to leave us, just like that, because you fear us ? " asked Luna as she droped some tears as well.

At those words Nightmare Moon closed her eyes, as her armor slowly dissapeared, leaving Nightmare Nyx to say goodbye to tham, " Not only because I m afraid of you, but also because you both are afraid of me, once I m gone, everyone here will be more happy, and the place I m going too do not know of my existence, I will lie low, dissquise myself, find some friends and than set up for a normal happy live, no one will be afraid of me, as I will hide my powers, now than that is said, Good Bye " said Nightmare Nyx as she once again waves her hoofs, as she went into balcony on Throne room, with one strong shot from her horn she broke Celestia weak barrier what was ment to isolate the guards from the throne room.

As she flew outside, she noticed that she is surrounded by Night Guards, but they all kept they distance in diferent places as to block any road of escape.

As Nightmare Nyx could not make more distance from balcony, she decided to fopen portal in the air, as she focused her magic in a horn, she slowly started to open a small portal in the middle of the air, all guards were stuned or even terrified at what they just saw, none of tham decided to move any closer, more less to stop Nightmare Nyx.

Flash

Before portal fully opened, Celestia and Luna appeared in front of Nightmare Nyx in a flash, blocking her way, " You do not have to do this, you do not have to leave " said Luna, " Please, forgive us for what we did, give us another chance " said Celestia.

Nightmare Nyx hessitated for a moment, only to hug Luna, and than break hug and hug Celestia, " Ofcourse I forgive you ", on those words Celestia and Luna hug her together, as they belivied she was going to give tham a chance, only to notice how Nightmare Nyx focus magic in her horn and cast invisibility on herself as she escape from group hug.

" I forgive you, and I wish I could trust you, but I promissed my soul friends that I wont take risk, wish you best of luck, good bye, and tell good bye from me to everyone I played in the castle " and before Celestia and Luna figured out from where the voice come from, portal closed.

Now Celestia and Luna were flying in the air alown, Nightmare Nyx was gone, gone forever, on one side they were happy that they did not had to fight her, and that they manage to appologice and receive forgiveness, on the other side they just let a filly, a friend, leave into unknown world.

Celestia and Luna hoped that they would get a chance to repay hero for saving tham, to repay for hurting her, to let her have happy live with many friends and even love after all harship Nyxie had to go.

Happines and sadness, reliev and guild, those were fellings Celestia and Luna were left with, as they had to go back to they normal live, debts never to be paid, and wish that she will find happines in this alternative dimention.

...

Alternative Equestria, 413 years after Nightmare Moon defeat

...

Nightmare Nyx went out from portal, she was invisible so that no one from Canterlot Castle will see her, or it would ruin entire plan of lying low.

Nightmare Nyx watched in the air, instead of day it was a Twilight, ' princess probably decided to move the sun a little later in this dimention ' Nightmare Nyx thought to herself, as she turned around to see the town only for her jaw drop.

In fron of her was a complitly ruined liveless castle, than she noticed entire city in ruin, a big sillent in the air, not a single pony in the horisont, ' what happened here ? '

As Nigthmare Nyx saw entire city ruined, she started to fly all around, searching for any pony or anythink what would be left of one, any clue what could happen here, but there was nothink, just a ruined liveless Canterlot city, no pony, not even a corpse.

' This is now how i imagined to start my adventure '
