Look Inside Your Heart Part One.

Chapter 18: Battle Plan Pt:3.(P.O.V. Switch, Nebula.)

I stood beside five of the bravest I had ever met, the black alicorn caught most of my attention. He seemed so familiar, as well as the silver pegasus, and the one that looked like mother. "No time to reminesce, Nebula." She even sounded like mother.

"Nightmare, your days are at an end." The silver pegasus shouted.

"Thou dost challenge us?"

"Overconfidence shall be thine downfall." The silver one retorted.

"Enough talk, let's get it started." The small orange one said.

================(P.O.V. Switch, Scootaloo.)========================

I look at the unicorn beside me and we smile, I could tell she was thinking what I was, charge. We both darted under Nightmare's legs, and swept. sending her to the ground. "That worked better than I thought, Name's Dancer." She smiled.

"Scootaloo." Cress shouted.

"Oh crap, Dad!" Nightmare was behind us.

"Oh HELL NO." A big flash of light struck Nightmare in the face. "You ain't killin' my sister," A light blue pegasus with metal wings was behind a cannon. He ran over to us. "You two okay?"

"Yeah," I answer.

"You got it working," Dancer smiles.

"Of course, I did, I'm Soren Skyfire." He helped us both up. "I can't believe two six year-olds floored Big Blue." He turned his head to Monarch. "So you're the rescue, quite the party." Monarch shook his head and smiled.

"Thou shalt be destroyed!" Nightmare sat up.

==================(P.O.V. Switch, Monarch.)=======================

"Our turn," I glance at Cress and he smiles. "Speed of Hermes." Everything slowed to a crawl. I vault over the girls and grab Nighty's head and wrap around her. "Now!" Cress speeds up and delivers a dropkick to her skull. Time returns with an explosion, sending both of us flying. "Damn,"

===============(P.O.V. Switch, Nebula.)===========================

"Nebula," The one who looked like mother smiled at me, and I nodded knowing it was up to us. I take a deep breath and return the gravity to normal. I spread my wings and charge sliding between Nightmare's legs arms spread.

=================(P.O.V. Switch, Luna.)===========================

I jump as I cast my shadow control spell on the darkside. A giant hand grasps my other self. "Thou hast chosen thine own destiny." I gain my royal decibel. "Any last words?"

"Don't do this." I feel Monarch's hand on my shoulder. "She doesn't deserve it."

"I know, get them out of here I'm the only one that can keep her tied." I tighten my grip crushing her ribs, as she screamed in pain the others retreated to the castle. After moments of torture I threw her at the castle.

============(POV Switch, Cress.)=================================

"Alright everypony single file into the shiny door." Monarch kept his disposition until Felicia wheeled that battered unicorn. "Is he gonna be okay?" She nodded. I decided to look for stragglers and Luna. I heard screaming and Nightmare crashed through a wall, and Luna right after.

"What in Hades" I ran over to them, Nightmare in a puddle of black blood. "Live in shadow, die from the light." The ground began to rumble and the walls started to crack. A piller next to Luna fell off it's foundation and I found myself under it instead. The pure marble column pushed down on my shoulders. "Go," I grunt at Luna.

"But,"

"Just go." As I argue I fall to one knee. "Now." My eyes flamed over red, and My heart burned. The column felt lighter, my muscles tensed and it flew off my shoulders and through the ceiling. "What in Hades, was that?"

"Strength of Atlas." Monarch said leaning against the doorway.

"Are they safe?" I pant.

"Yes they're all mid transit, c'mon let's go home, you got some fine fillies waitin' for you." Luna rushed over and hugged him, they both walked through the arch and dissapeared. I turned my head to see Nightmare crawling toward me, I walk over to her struggling body.

"Hey, you're gonna die."

"Cut the pleasantries, help us."

"Why should I, you think I care if you live."

"Thou hast the power, why not use it?" Her voice echoed through my head. "The power is yours to do with what you wish. Tell us that thou are not tempted." Her words rang true, she was right, I did have the power, and I was going to use it.
"You win," I place my hand on her back and my eyes flame over green. She began screaming in agony as her skin began to melt. "You win," I could feel her skin melding with my own. "Your prize." Her screams fell on deaf ears, her muscles unraveled and wrapped around my arm and trailed upward. I was keeping her alive, for some twisted reason I was finding her pain fun. "Is eternal agony, in my mind." With one last scream her soul ran through my heart chasing chills up my spine. "Have fun up there." I laugh while a devilish smile crossed my face, and I stepped through the portal.
