Displaced demon

A fight in the night

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Nightmare moon glares at me with a mix of hatred and blood lust. With a flap of her wings she flies at me, within a fraction of a second, the tip of her spear rips threw my stomach.

Pain shoots threw me as I try not to scream, she grins with delight and raises her fist to punch me.

I close my eyes and readied my body for the attack, but instead all I got to hear was the sound much like a metal object colliding with a rock.

The sudden spear in my gut leaves my body and I take in a sharp breath, I open my eyes to see Celestia using her Warhammer to block and attack from nightmare moon.

My brain starts to rapidly take in the situation, 'holy shit, if I was still human I could have died.' my body starts shaking at the realization that im not dreaming and this is in fact reality.

Alice, my wife, I met her during my game development course 5 years ago, she was my assigned partner for a project, and as we talked and made plans we realized just how much we have in common.

After a few months I asked her out on a date, and a year later we got married. 3 months later Alice got pregnant and 9 months later she gave birth to our daughter.

Sofi, she's a lot like her mother but with my constant need-to-sleep personality. When sofi turned 3 she saw an empty Cardboard box, it used to contain my computer equipment and I've just had it there.

Sofi turned that cardboard box into a Fortress and she became "queen of the cardboard." tears run down my face at the thought of never seeing either of them.

In the middle of my panic attack, I don't realize that my stomach has fully healed, a pained shout from Celestia makes my head snap in her direction.

Nightmare moon has her pinned to the ground, and her spear raised high and aiming for the sun princess's head.

(Celestia POV)

"you don't have to do this!" I say trying to snap my sister out of, whatever this is!?

"Where are your weapons now celly!" nightmare moon says while raising her spear, 'damn it, I'm sorry luna, if I was a better sister maybe I could have helped you.'

I shut my eyes and hear the sounds of flesh being torn, but I didn't feel any pain, a warm liquid was running down my back and onto the floor.

I open my eyes and glanced at nightmare moon, who now had a katana threw her stomach.

She was gritting her teeth and the spear was no longer in her hands but in the hands of the strange ape creature, he looks at me with all 6 of his eyes. "I'll hold her off just get that damn weapon she was talking about!" he said in a demanding tone.

I quickly get up and fly towards my throne, when I get there I grab the secret box from under my throne. Opening it I see the 6 elements of harmony, they each give off a small but powerful glow.

I activate them and they float around me, I could feel their power as they danced in perfect order. I turned towards where the fight between my corrupted sister and the 6-eyed ape.

Only to stop in shock at the sight.

(Jack POV)

Nightmare moon turns into dark blue mist and reassembles herself a few feet away, but with a new weapon that is larger, and from the grin she is showing, the weapon was stronger.

She thrusts her new weapon forward, the attack was somehow even faster than before.

"Luner-Lance!"

I barely had enough time to re-direct the attack with the side of my blade, I use this moment of vulnerability to my advantage.

"Moon breathing, First Form: Dark Moon, Evening Palace"

The crescent-shaped projectiles speed towards nightmare moon in a frontal barrage.

Nightmare moon turns into mist again and flies up, her body reassembles and she aims her lance down at me.

Her weapon glows a dark blue and spectral lancers form around her. "prepare yourself ape!" she says as the glow around her lance glows brighter.

(Nightmare moon POV)

'he's only been using a single attack from the moment we started fighting, is he trying to bate me into a trap? No, just by looking at him I know for a fact that he hasn't got anything big planned, at least not yet.'

I couldn't help but grin at the conclusion that I arrived at.

'so thats it, the only reason he's been using 1 attack, is because he is only capable of using 1 attack!'

"murderous-moon-massacre"

I launch a massive barrage of attacks down at the worthless ape creature, it starts to swing its katana in an attempt to prolong its life.

'let's see how long you can last!'

(Jack POV)

"Moon breathing, First Form: Dark Moon, Evening Palace"

While trying to stop the lances from hitting me I used the first breathing style, not to attack but to defend.

The crescent-shaped objects were able to stop 2 or 3 lances before braking, it was enough of a difference for me to think of a way to get out of the mess I'm in.

"Moon breathing, First Form: Dark Moon, Evening Palace"

The crescent objects stopped the lances for about 3 seconds, which allowed me to unravel my plan.

I make multiple curved slashes layered over one another, creating a rising vortex of sword slashes and crescent moon blades.

"Fifth Form: Moon Spirit Calamitous Eddy"

This catches nightmare moon off gaurd and the many crescent-shaped blades hit her all over, after the attack she falls to the ground.

She gets up and before she could do anything I punch her in the lower jaw, im not proud to emit it, but the stress of losing and never seeing my loved ones again plus this fight.

Punch after punch, I didn't stop, even when her blood splattered on my face, I didn't stop punching.

Her face was a mess, a broken nose, dislocated jaw, left eye swollen shut and the overall face battered and bruised.

An odd sound made my eyes glance left, only to see Celestia glowing white and floating in the air, her horn pointed at me and her sister.

A rainbow light shoots from her horn, and I threw nightmare moon towards it, she gets surrounded in rainbow light and then shoots upwards, towards the moon.

Celestia falls back down along with the elements of harmony, I turn around and start walking away and towards the everfree forest.
