" 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.
