Canterlot castle - Final Battle

...

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.

" 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.
