Author's Note

Hello, sorry for the long delay. Here is the third of the 4 additional stories we had in mind and this was the difficult one.

First warning, this is the essential version if Nightmare had won, and it was meant to be a clop sex chapter, but the sex part is not finished for such elaborate reasons. I put a note about it.

And my next warning is that if you don't like this kind of thing—a real villain winning—you can skip all the way to the last section where the note is.

P.S. The entire story has been edited. We can say that it is complete, including all the latest changes. If you want to know the important updates, they are the Nightmare Moon battle, Luna entering Shadow Soul, and the last chapter.

Another P.S. Second book will be upload with the first chapter soon.


Extra: A nightmare come true

Extra: A nightmare come true

Dreams can come true. So how about a nightmare?

On a quiet night above the forest stood the castle of the current ruler of Terra. The ruler did not like having others near her private lands; she preferred to live alone until she was bored. Therefore, the castle was the only place that provided comfort for living in the forest. However, no one wanted to live there, and no one wanted to visit or be inside that castle.

For the maid walking the halls, she had no choice.

Inside the castle were some ponies selected to serve the current ruler. A tall white mare maid walked past all the furniture and pictures that the ruler had placed in the halls. They all had the same theme, how the ruler conquered and raised her kingdom.

There were paintings of this ruler marching through the zebra savannahs with her army. One depicted her raising her flag over the dragon king under her hoof. Another showed her fully clothed and armed against the greatest Minotaur gladiator. There was also one where she sat on a throne made of feathers and wood, with many griffons bearing different banners kneeling before her. The last painting depicted her wearing a white dress, standing before a tree bearing red fruit, offering it to hungry changelings who saw her as their savior and hope.

All of these paintings captured the ruler's long journey to becoming the one and only great ruler of Terra. The white mare servant, after walking through the halls, had the duty of serving her, even to the point of waking her up.

The maid arrived at the most secluded and distant room in the castle, her master's private chambers.

TOC TOC TOC

The maid announced her arrival again. Although she was not permitted to enter the chambers, she knew her master was available, as the quiet and peaceful atmosphere inside indicated she wasn't having fun. It was the best time to interrupt her, yet the maid hesitated to go in, even if she was right.

TOC TOC—"You can come in... he's not with me right now.", hearing her master's voice, the tall white mare maid entered the room.

The door opened, revealing her master's majestic quarters. The room was adorned with elegant, heavy curtains that blocked out the moonlight, providing privacy. It featured the finest wooden furniture, with chairs and tables that perfectly matched her master's image. There was even a private closet filled with the best dresses her mistress could wear, some to showcase her majesty to the public, others to highlight her beauty and form, and a few for private use.

The room also included a dressing area, a bathroom, and a table with a mini bar stocked with her master's favorite drinks. There was a stall containing all the books she enjoyed reading, including her own book that the maids had to read to her. And finally, a large king-size double mattress adorned with a canopy, the finest purple sheets, and a sheer blue curtain for cover and privacy.

It was in this bed that the servant's mistress and the current ruler rested. The maid had to announce her domain. "We, the inhabitants of Equestria and all Terra, salute the one, the strongest, the beautiful, the majestic, the all-powerful, the beloved ruler of our world, Queen Nightmare Moon.", the maid said, bowing to the mare in bed.

"Ah~ That's so good to hear," Nightmare Moon said as she rose from the bed.

The black-furred mare was lying on her stomach with its wings spread. She was under a sheet that hugs her body well, only showing some fur on her left buttock with her cutie mark in the air. She had a pillow hugged by her arms and her big chest. Her face was buried in it, she was taking in the last fragrance that their last night together made, that he made with her. Having enough, the maid's ruler and master rises to sit on her legs. In the process, she partially removed the sheet to show to her world one of her tits and her head.

The current ruler of Terra let her nocturnal astral mane flow with her horn. She yawned as she opened one of her cat-like blue eyes. After recovering from the fun she had in the last dream, Nightmare Moon opened her eyes to her maid.

"You always know what to say to make me happy... but I think you forgot 'merciful', sister.", she said, flashing a toothy smile at Celestia.

The maid, who shuddered, was none other than Celestia, the former ruler of Equestria. But none of her previous subjects, nor any other being, could recognize this Celestia.

Although she was as tall as her master, this Celestia no longer possessed the body of a model. Instead, she had become malnourished and lost her former allure. Adding to her plight, she was now bald. Her master, determined that no other pony should surpass her beauty, deemed it necessary to remove her astral mane and entire tail. As if that weren't enough, her master also took away her wings and horn.

This was the perfect 'sister' her master desired: a weak, ugly, and pathetic Celestia, one who begged for mercy. "I-I-I'm sorry, m-my Queen! I won't make the same mistake again! P-p-please have— Silence."

Celestia immediately stopped and lowered her head.

"We'll talk about this later.", Nightmare said, cracking her neck to wake up her numb body. "It's a new night, and there are things to do. So don't waste time and start cleaning."

Nightmare removed the sheet hiding her body and walked out naked. However, she was neither worried nor embarrassed as she walked in front of her 'sister'. Nightmare went to his bathroom and wanted clean her sweaty body while her maid cleaned the messy bed. She didn't even worry if Celestia found multiple stains on the sheets or any surprises on them.

Nightmare entered her bathroom and surveyed the array of options available to her. The bathroom was even larger than her room, allowing for every type of bathing experience she could desire. She could choose between a personal bathtub or a large one designed for multiple occupants. The chief architect of her castle had thoughtfully included a private sauna and a spacious jacuzzi, though she found them dull without company. She also had a pool installed, which she rarely used, but planned to enjoy again when her favorite companion returned. In all of them.

So Nightmare had to opt for the simple shower. She steps into the clear glass shower, opens the valve and lets the water run over her tall, voluptuous and sexy body. They were wiping the sweat off her neck down to her waist while the water ran between her two DD breasts and nipples. Her hands helped remove the dirt from her stomach and fur as she hugged herself. Her legs began to feel the warm water falling from her body.

Even so, she was beginning to get lost in her imagination with the refreshing shower. That's when her womb also started to warm up. After massaging her chest and neck, Nightmare closes her eyes and imagines her touch as someone else's. She then lowered her touch down onto her stomach as her left hand grabbed a tit while her right was going between her legs.

'Ha~ Not yet~', Nightmare stopped. Why do it herself, when she finally had him to do it? Then she finished her shower to get ready to go out.

When she finishes, she comes out all wet, ignoring the fact that she leaves a trail of water. But she was sure the castle's changelings slaves would clean up. Also to help her get dressed. When Nightmare returned to her room, those slaves with Celestia were waiting for her with the dress for that night.

Nightmare walks to the dressing room platform and spreads her arms and wings giving the signal. Soon she was surrounded by her slaves, even dressing her in her underwear. One fact to mention was that she only had most of the male slaves for many reasons. Then one of the male changelings who was approaching her bottom stopped due to his instincts the moment he touched her thigh. Soon he raised his eyes up and up where he couldn't separate his eyes from her womb. He almost drools and gets lost in his mind.

His master's voice woke him. "Are you liking what you see?"

The slave immediately moved away from his master, and the others quickly filled his place. He kept his eyes down, but if he looked up, he would see that Nightmare wasn't angry.

She was delighted to be desired. "And?~ What's your answer?"

"SORRY, MASTER!", the male changeling quickly knelt and pressed his face to the floor. "I AM SO SORRY! I WASN'T ABLE TO BE SATISFIED YESTERDAY!", his swift response saved him from torture.

"Really? That is strange.", Nightmare accepts his reason, now he asked him. "Aren't those five enough for all of you?", she continues as her slaves finish with the underwear and start with the dress.

"Eh... that is the thing...", the slave lowers his voice but decides to say. "My turn... didn't come... they were already claimed... and there was nothing... for me.", the slave was trying to control himself thinking about that. But not his lust but his fear of his master's wrath.

"I see...", Nightmare began to think about how to solve this problem. Then she remembers that. "Tell me sister~"

"Y-y-y-yes?!", Celestia's voice break at the sudden call of her master.

The slaves finish dressing her dress and Nightmare turns to look at her sister. "I have seen that some of my pets have not eaten well. Has our niece finally given birth to my daughters? Celestia~"

Celestia shuddered at the mention of her niece, who had led a rebellion against her. All Nightmare had to do was order her best soldier, and by the next morning, her niece was crying on the floor of the throne room. The rebellion ended with her niece broken and unable to raise her voice against her. The soldier had even brought the head of her niece's fiancé. Nightmare Moon was delighted with her soldier's efficiency, too pleased to consider the proper use of her niece.

"About her...", Maid Celestia hesitated, recalling the last time she saw Cadance being dragged away, broken. She stared at the ground. "...she is in her last week of pregnancy... soon your daughters will be born..."

"Excellent!~", Nightmare smiled happily at the news. "I hope my five daughters are born healthy and strong. Then, all the effort and time spent collecting my essence and his will be worth it in the end. Also, I am grateful that she is paying for her sins with her body."

"...yes...she is grateful...for your mercy...", Celestia sobbed, crying not only for her niece but for all the ponies subjected to Nightmare's 'mercy', including herself.

Nightmare, fully dressed for her court, walked next to Celestia before giving a new order to her head maid. "Sister, after my daughters are born, have our niece take care of my pets.", Nightmare ignored her sister's reaction as she walked to the doors to start the night. "Immediately when she is done. Starting with him, could you be so kind?"

"... I... will make it happen...", Celestia was lost in her sadness as she didn't noticed her master's smile, and the changeling slave's eyes shine.

"Good.", Nightmare's response to this maid's response. "Now, let's get this big night started~", she opens her doors and enters her hall of fame.

The door opens to a nice and sexy Nightmare Moon. She decides to wear an elegant red evening dress that fits well around her waist and chest. It was a long dress that reached the floor and was open at the sides so that her legs could walk freely. The dress only covers her front and butt, showing more of her big thighs with her cutie mark open to see. As for the top, it didn't cover much of her large chest. Her shoulders and neck were exposed and only the straps, which start below her breasts, cover the tips of her nipples. She didn't have to worry about showing much, thanks to a royal coat with silver fur at the edge of the neck, covering her shoulders but not the valley of her chest.

With her expensive makeup perfectly applied and her favorite perfume enveloping her, she was ready to command her subjects. And by that, they served her. "Royal chair, to me."

"YES, Ma'am!", two male minotaurs, kneeling by her door, responded to her call.

Two muscular, gray-furred minotaurs wearing only loincloths stood to carry the chair they had between them. Not only them, some of the changelings knelt in front of the chair to be its steps. Seeing her signal, Nightmare Moon walks on her hooves wrapped in her dark blue crystal slippers. She steps on the back of each of her servants, ignoring the sound of pain and possibly pleasure, to climb up and sit in her chair.

"To the throne room.", she commanded. With a grunt, the two minotaurs lifted her chair, and the group began their journey.

Nightmare Moon reveled in her reign. On her journey, she admired the paintings and statues that adorned the hallway, though she preferred the weapons and trophies she had collected during her conquests. She drifted into memories of her past life.

She recalled expeditions in the savannahs, where she was entertained by discovering hidden tribes amidst the diverse fauna and flora. She delighted in her fierce war with the dragons, though she sometimes wondered if it was a mistake to have wiped out all the dragon elders and kings. At least she had enjoyed her battle with the Minotaur Nation's best gladiator; she still doubted if he could kill her, but now, as one of her generals, he might never fight seriously again. As for the griffons, they had surrendered when her best soldier took their king's head.

Nightmare rested her head on one hand, the other supporting her elbow, as she immersed herself in her thoughts. 'It gets very boring if there is no other nation I can fight against. But if it happens like my alliance with Chrysalis, I should reject it and give them months of preparations.', she mused, turning to look out the window.

Through it, she could see the courtyard of her castle, where her forces were training. While her main army rested elsewhere, here she observed her new recruits. With so many nations under her reign, she hoped to cultivate strong soldiers.

In the courtyard, she saw various types of soldiers training. Ponies, griffons, minotaurs, a few zebras who had sworn loyalty to her, and even some young dragons. But her eyes fell on the changeling recruits.

The courtyard had everything. Smiths, weapon racks, training courses, even a small arena with instructors of all kinds. The changeling group was training like the others, but in the arena, a small changeling was being tested by three instructors.

They were testing this special recruit. Nightmare Moon could see clearly from her chair by the window. She already knew what was happening. Two instructors were doing their job, while the third, a special one, was watching. Beating up that recruit.

The recruit had just been kicked in the stomach, losing his breath and dropping his sword. Blood trickled from his mouth, a sign of broken ribs. The griffon instructor who kicked him backed away immediately. He hadn't intended to kill him but had no other choice. The second changeling instructor knelt down, saying something and patting the ground, trying to keep the recruit conscious. The recruit knew he had to stand his ground, even in this final test.

At that moment, the final instructor, a dark-armored earth stallion, began to walk. Seeing this, the griffon instructor turned and walked away, while the changeling grimaced, his gaze fixed on the ground.

The little recruit, sent by his mother Chrysalis as part of their agreement, tried to get up and grab his sword. His body was in pain, his breathing frantic, and his vision blurry as he reached for the weapon. He almost fainted, but then he saw the black metal hand. All the discomfort in his body seemed to calm at the sight of that hand, and how it took his sword.

With wide eyes, the recruit raised his gaze, looking up at the real instructor of the training yard. He stared straight into the instructor's artificial red eyes, seeing him swing the sword downward.

'Another failure, I guess.', Nightmare Moon thought as she stopped to look through the last window she passed. 'Or... maybe I need to reassign the orders. Note to self: review this unit's orders for new recruits.'

Affirmative. The database of Unit #684234 is available. Would you like to review the orders assigned to the unit?

'Not now, dear. But please update me on the status of the rest of my units.', she said with a smile, removing her hand from her chin.

Affirmative. Processing......... All Unit status show no change. All orders assigned have no updates or change. All Units are Online and completing their orders. Warning. Unit-

'Is enough.', she stare at the back of her hand. 'I don't need the Yami system on my favorite Unit. I want him to surprise me so don't tell me anything about him.'

Order receive. User 'Nightmare Moon', order updated.

'Thanks, dear.', Nightmare Moon then look ahead, while her hand displayed the red rune of the Yami System.

On her way to her throne room, Nightmare Moon watched all of her slaves, mostly male shifters, working on their duties while her Nightmare guards patrolled the halls. However, he didn't pay attention to any of them except his Yami tools.

She saw an Unit, a Minatour with a tower shield and a big crossbow with arrows as thick as an arm, leading one of her squad of guards at her side. Her Captain of the Nightmare Guards on this castle from many others.

Unlike other users, Nightmare Moon had the ambition to collect them all, and she was surprised. Each one she got had something that set them apart, so much so that she had one for each purpose. There were so many that she didn't even try to remember them to waste time. She just had to ask the system and she would get a summary of their activities like a while ago.

However, she did have to remember the Units in the castle. She didn't want anyone, not even his brothers, to bother her with him. And she was excited when he returned, so she didn't notice that she arrived at her throne.

Two other Units, a pegasus and a unicorn stallion, salute her and then open the throne room while singing their chorus. "Our Queen have arrive. All bow to the only and powerful, Nightmare Moon."

'Note to myself. Make new order for those two.', Nightmare Moon blankly stare at her announcement. 'Was funny hearing that from my student. But after hearing it myself... yeah, better let that only to Trixie. Better send a message to her Unit.'

Nightmare changes her mind after the hundredth time she's heard it and focuses on her throne room. Inside everything was waiting for her.

The throne was almost identical to her sister's old castle. But hers was decorated with more of her paintings. With a long mat with gold and silver borders all the way of the room. And multiple types of decorations such as jewelry, her ivory, metal and marble statues of her image, and her war decorations, such as shields and swords from her past wars, and finally other types of trophies.

Nightmare Moon smiles as her royal chair carries her to the steps of her throne. On her way, all the servants waiting in line stood in front of her. These included the slaves, her guards, and some nobles who are within her circle of command and support her in managing the kingdom. And a retinue of five maidens, the only mares along with Celestia and Cadance in the castle.

When she arrive, everypony took place on their respective group, Celestia join this five maids ponies mares. When her royal chair put her down, Nightmare watched as the yellow maid did not stop shaking, even when the blue one held her hand.

"Oh, my dear, my presence is too much to suppress your happiness.", Nightmare caught the attention of the five maids. "Or are you still scared after living here for a year... it was, Fluttershy, right?"

The five mares, the new ones called The Elements of Harmony, tremble when they call for their friend. When she won, she showed mercy to the so-called heroes who were supposed to stop her, so Nightmare allowed them to pay for their sins as servants of the castle. And to make Celestia not stand out, all five of them looked just like her. The five were bald, without mane or tail, and those with horns and wings were also taken.

Last but not least, they were submissive just like Celestia. Fluttershy was sweating all over her face, looking up to respond. "Sorry... my Queen... is just... I... didn't have time..."

'Time? What-!? Oh, that type of time.', Nightmare had enough, she could see how her maid trembled, keeping her legs together, and her hand between her legs. "If you didn't clean up after tending to my pets... then you can leave, I'll allow it. I'd rather you not stain my rug."

As her words click, the ears of the blue maiden, Rainbow Dash, perked up with her face hopefully at her queen. "M-m-m-my Queen!... Can I accompany her?... If I go, I can help her come back quickly. If you... allow me.", at his last words, she lowered her head with her ears drooping.

"Really?", Nightmare stood up and stood from his chair. The minatours who was carrying her took the chair to the side ready in case he called her again, while she ascended her throne. "IS this something like she can't go to the bathroom alone? But I will appreciate it if you seven are present here."

After climbing the steps, Nightmare and proudly stand on his throne. Made of crystal and osidian rock, metals such as titanium as a base and adorned with gems such as sapphire and emerald. Her night throne, with a glass window showing the moon behind, with the hidden changeling Unit assign to protect her behind, awaited her. She was happy with such a work of art, but she knew that it does not match hers. The ones that adorned the room right above her throne.

Those were the last types of group decorations mentioned before, the heads of her enemies.

Zebra tribal chiefs, elder dragons, the royal family of griffons, noble ponies, rebel changelings, even beasts and creatures adorned the wall behind her throne. Nightmare sat on her throne, she was happy with her wall of trophies.

With the head of the first User she defeated and her entire family under her. "If you two are not here, how can I demonstrate to my defeated Elements of Harmony set to my guests. Also, your 'friend' may feel lonely without the six of you~ HAHAHAHA!"

Nightmare's laughter echoes from the dark throne of his castle. These maids Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack with the maid Celestia looked down at the mention of their friend and student. Even the maid Fluttershy almost let go of sadness and forget her inconvenience after her task of taking care of her mistress's pets. It was the maid Rainbow who closed her eyes and led the maid Fluttershy out of the room by the hand, before she made her angry and asked for her permission.

Nightmare took some time enjoying herself, she calmed down so she could attend to her advisors and begin her night court sessions. Wiping away her happy tear with her hand, she announced that she was ready.

"Let the Eternal Night begin."


"Could you please just end it?", after she receive her daily reports 30 minutes ago, she was already attempting her first subject request. Just to get bored at the first minute. "I don't need your speech to be full of praise for me. Just say what you want and that's it!"

Fancy Pants, a high noble whom she let live in Cadance's rebellion, was sweating for his life. "S-s-s-sorry, your highness. I-i-i-i didn't wanted to i-i-i-insult you or w-w-w-waste you time-"

"Get. To. The. Point. Now.", every one of Nightmare's words had her anger on edge.

Fancy Pants swallows the lump in his throat and her fears. "We... your subjects... thought the gala could be held in your metropolis, Eclipse Hollow. Instead here... in the heart of the Ever Night Forest."

"And the reason." TAP, she was tapping her fingers on the forearm of the throne, waiting for him.

"We... believe that you would like privacy... so as not to disturb your highness when you are ready to leave the gala.", he lower his gaze waiting her response.

Nightmare Moon was thinking about it. "Hmmm... the only drawback is going there and then coming back... Isn't this your intention of revenge? Aren't you over the fact that I gave your wife to the Changeling Empire?", Nightmare Moon stop her tapping to stare at his eyes.

Eyes that no longer had bad intentions towards her, only sadness at never seeing his wife again. "... No... We... your loyal subjects had no such intention.", eyes with tears on the edge.

"Hmm? Why so sad? You should now that was necessary to form the alliance with the Changeling Empire. In exchange for some of their soldiers for our Nocturnia kingdom, Queen Chrysalis just ask a few our ponies for her subjects. We should happy for their hard work make possible the alliance with the changeling-?!"

When their queen was silent, they were silent too. Many things could happen when she was silent. That is why it was important to pay attention to its characteristic. So Fancy Pants wasn't in trouble as a toothy smile appeared on her face.

"To Our Queen. We have excellent news for you. He has returned. Your greatest servant. Your best soldier. Your right hand, lover and companion of your life. Your Only and Great, The Shadow Blade, is coming to see you again."

The entire castle stopped at whatever they were doing. Since they knew that their Queen would hang them if they interfered or delayed. Because he finally returns to his Queen.

Immediately, without wasting a second, all the servants and maids moved to the sides and straightened, not only in the throne room but throughout the castle, even in those corridors through which he neither came nor passed. In the throne was not different. All servants stop they were doing and form a line with the others. The nobles and the guards followed suit too, they were the only ones smiling next to Fancy Pants, who had to force himself.

As for the Queen, Nightmare prepares to receive him and those who accompany him. She adjusts to her seat on her throne. Crossing her legs first, she made sure her dress apron covered her privates while the thin strings of her white panties were exposed. She adjusts her coat in the perfect position to cover her shoulders, allowing the first thing her guests see to be the valley her DD babies form before her face.

And as for her face, she tries to relax as she rests her arms on the forearms of her throne. But her smile did not allow itself to be 'godly' presentable. The Queen was fighting with her excitement of seeing her favorite soldier, to the point that she could be seen as a psychopath.

She desire that something help her to calm. "...almost... there..."

Hearing a voice she thought belonged to Rainbow Dash, Nightmare Moon glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw her and another figure emerging from the maid's quarters hallway, where the cleaning supplies for the throne room were kept. Rainbow Dash ran, pulling Fluttershy by the arm, almost dragging her, but Fluttershy didn't complain. Once they reached the maids' station, Rainbow positioned a tired Fluttershy and straightened her up. Rainbow had to ensure Fluttershy was present before finding her own place.

With Rainbow's help, maid Fluttershy stood tall, hands in front of her and eyes facing forward, despite the tiredness in her eyes. Satisfied, the anxious Rainbow Dash maid stepped away, taking her place on Fluttershy's left and mimicking the same pose, despite her frantic breathing. A tired maid Fluttershy and a sweaty maid Rainbow Dash returned to avoid the Queen's wrath. They failed.

They didn't notice their Queen's stoic gaze upon them. While she had said she needed them all, their delay and entrance had angered her. Yet, thanks to them, she managed to control her emotions, though she still struggled to calm her anger. Unconsciously, she shifted her gaze to others.

Beside them stood maid Rarity. Like her sisters, Rarity had her mane, tail, and horn removed, and her body was malnourished and abused.

Next to her was maid Pinkie. The Queen no longer needed to check her silly mane to sense her anger; Pinkie's murderous eyes and hidden knives were enough. Following her was maid Applejack.

Maid Applejack was the only one with visible bruises on her face, including a black eye. She likely had more hidden under her uniform, as she was the only one who defended herself the most during happy hour.

The Queen looked at them with no change in her expression. When her gaze fell on her sister, maid Celestia, she recalled what the changeling had said about not getting his part. She began to wonder if she had enough once Cadance completed her mission to bring her daughters. But she didn't dwell on it for long.

User 'Nightmare Moon'. Unit #71213, Unit #7799, Unit #21009, Unit #61016, Unit #3, have complete their orders. There in Standby mode until further orders.

Still with her stoic face, she submit her next order. 'All Units of the Midnight Marauders squad, return to me.'

"All hail to The Midnight Marauders squad of our Queen Dread Sovereign's Legion, and to our Nightshade Warden of the Dark Court, the Supreme Nocturne Commandant."

With the announcement of all his Units throughout the castle, the two Unit guards in her throne room open the door. All eyes turn to the double doors that open, even those who didn't want to see him after what he had done to them. What he did for his Queen, Master and User.

"Your Only and Great, The Shadow Blade.", and everypony saw the Nightmare's Shadow enter with its red eyes. And his squad following behind him.

Like his brothers, Nightmare's Shadow Blade had the same composition with the Yami armor next to his round head and flat face, adorned with a V-shaped crest on his forehead. His full black metal armor with red stripes made him a formidable sight, but his Queen would never allow her favorite unit to be compared equally among the ranks.

This Shadow was her general and captain of her Royal Guards, and thus, he wore a high-quality coat. Embroidered with precious silver metallic threads along the lower borders and trimmed with the mane fur of an albino manticore, the coat bore a new moon mark in the middle against a night blue background. And he was not alone.

Next to him stood Sovereign Marshal Skytalon, the Griffon Unit, with a coat marked by the full moon. Her enemies would see the full moon descend upon them as her marshal cut them to pieces.

Following was the Nightblade Chieftain, the Minotaur Unit, with a coat marked by a half moon. Her enemies would tremble as they saw her army march towards them, their chief's black axe ready to cleave heads or bodies in half at front.

Not far away was Marshal Moonfang, the Diamond Dog Unit, with fur marked by a waxing crescent moon. Her enemies would never know they were being hunted by this ferocious predator.

Last, but no less significant, was Chief Silent Blade, the Changeling Unit, bearing the waning crescent moon. He was the first changeling to join their army ranks as her chief assassin, just after the coronation of the new Changeling queen.

'Hahaha~ My Midnight Marauders squad~ I can't get enough of seeing them~', Queen Nightmare Moon thought, her small smile returning to her face. 'They don't fail to bring me what I want.'

Not only did the Midnight Marauders squad enter the throne room, but also the Royal Family of Saddle Arabia. The daughter and the queen, two thin and tall mares, were pulled in by Marshal Moonfang. Silent Blade carried a bag, as did Marshal Skytalon. Nightblade Chieftain brought treasures to add to her Queen's collection.

As for her Shadow Blade, he was dragging the King of Saddle Arabia across the floor.

Her favorite squad marched from the doors towards her. Her servants looked down, feeling unworthy. Her guards knelt one by one as their Captains approached. The nobles and Fancy bowed as they passed. For her maids, their Queen made them look at him.

The Shadow that was once their friend had vanished, replaced by the Shadow that fulfilled their Queen's every desire. This was the same Shadow who completed her orders to add to her wall of trophies, especially when he brought Users to her, starting with his previous one.

As Nightmare Moon's Shadow walked through the throne room, he paid no mind to the myriad of emotions displayed by the ponies he passed; fear, sadness, despair, anger, disappointment, and hopelessness, all in that order from the maids. His focus was solely on the happiness of his Queen, lover, master, and User.

Upon reaching the steps of the throne, Nightmare Moon's Shadow threw the defeated king to the ground and announced the completion of his mission as he ascended to her. "Order completed. Saddle Arabia is now part of our kingdom, Nocturnia, my love."

COUGH COUGH. The defeated king struggled to breathe after the Midnight Marauders squad had made him understand his place.

In his weakened state, with his Arab clothes torn, he lifted his beaten body onto his arms and knees. As his vision cleared, he looked around and wasn't surprised to see maid Celestia. The last time he had seen her was at the announcement of her new role, the final day she was the Princess of the Day with her wings and horn. Seeing her defeated gaze fixed on the ground, he remained silent.

Beaten but not lost his honor, the king rises to his knees. He look straight up to the throne with the moon over it. Where the Queen receive a kiss of her lover.

Upon arriving, Nightmare Moon's Shadow deactivated his helmet, revealing his true face. He extended his right arm as he stood beside her. He caressed her cheek and gave her a passionate kiss in front of the others. Following his orders, he opened his mouth to let his Queen play with him. After what felt like a minute, and because she still had to control herself, he pulled away, leaving her wanting more.

Satisfied for now, the Queen raised her right hand for her lover to remove his gauntlet and hold her hand, feeling her warmth and happiness at having him. The same happiness was evident on her face as she showed to the King of Saddle Arabia.

With the King standing defiantly on the floor, his eyes showing his last stand, Queen Nightmare Moon addressed him. "It's been more than a year since we saw each other. Was that enough time for you to accept my rightful ascension to the throne?"

"COUGH... ha... No.", he replied, exhausted from everything that had happened in the last 24 hours, yet still refusing to yield. "We, the alliance of Saddle Arabia, refuse to recognize your authority. You will always be, for us and for all of Terra, a tyrant."

"Is that so?... Alright. What you said will be.", Queen Nightmare Moon began to play with her lover's hand. "After conquering most of the countries in my first year, it was getting boring. The rest of the tribes or civilizations beyond the great Arabian Desert can be my war toys until I find another civilization to go to war with... Hmm. If I remember correctly, Atlantis exists. Should I declare war now so they can prepare, or just wait a few years? What do you think, my lovingly gleaming Shadow?"

"Would that make you happy, my mooncake?", her Shadow answering to his nickname as well playing with his finger with her hands. With a plying tone on his voice, just like she ordered. "Because I will not stop until is done, for you, my Queen~"

"Ahh~", Queen Nightmare Moon could feel her heart wanting to get out of her chest, beside her wanting to jump on him. "You see it, Celestia, he really loves me. And not like the way our niece says otherwise~ Hahahaha!"

"Is this all a game to you?"

Queen Nightmare Moon stopped playing with her maid Celestia and turned back to the King. "All this... violence... torture... misery you bring to Equestria, to my Saddle Arabia... to our Terra... Just for a moment of your amusement?"

Queen Nightmare Moon stared at him in silence, even ceasing to play with her lover's hand. Her silence was palpable, and everypony present turned their eyes towards her. Those who had been in the throne room before, especially during an audience, knew that when their queen stopped like this, it usually ended badly. Even those who had lived there for a year couldn't predict what she was thinking now, and everypony was worried.

The princess and queen began to panic as their king had angered her. The servants and guards mocked the king's choice of words. The six maids and the nobles remained silent, awaiting the inevitable. The Units stood still, waiting for their master to speak. As for the King, he only stared back at her.

To hear what she said next. "Is there something wrong with having fun while pursuing what you truly desire?"

Once again, all eyes fell on her, surprised by her response. "So what sets me apart from others doing the same thing?"

Queen Nightmare Moon stood up, allowing her favorite servant to come and hug her from behind. "And what makes me different from you? When you want my head too?"

Surrounded by his strong arms, she let him hold her, even though she was taller than him, resting just under her chest, accentuating them as her personal support. "But I will tell you. I, unlike them, have earned the right for it."

She placed her left hand on her chest, her right over the head of her Shadow, as she leaned her face close to his. "I have won my right to create my world... not for all of you."

In this world, the User Nightmare Moon gained her Yami Tool, blessed for creating her world. "Because this is the promise that our Father made to me. Now you will understand, I am the protagonist of my world. Not you."

The King stared with his eyes wide open. He didn't understand what she was talking about, but his expression was exactly what Queen Nightmare Moon wanted. She then mentally ordered her units holding the bags.

With two heavy thuds, the King of Saddle Arabia's eyes widened. He knew what it was, yet he wanted to deny its existence. Tears welled up and fell from his face as he braced himself to look in front of him. The bags were dropped at his knees, and their contents spilled out, revealing his family.

The heads of his citizens, the reason he fought. The heads of his nobles, who had supported him, his force he clung to. And the head of his son, his last hope for his kingdom.

"YOU DID GREAT, MY LOVE!", Queen Nightmare Moon's voice rang out, filled with happiness. Her eyes sparkled with a rare joy as she looked at the dark knight beside her. "You bring me more for our collage! You know how to make your queen happy!"

Her dark knight nodded, his posture radiating pride. "Thank you, my Queen. It was all for you."

The King braced himself to look in front of him, his heart pounding in his chest. The sight of them sent a shiver down his spine, and the metallic scent of blood filled the air, showing how fresh the heads were. Queen Nightmare Moon began to descend the steps of her throne, her dark knight assisting her with a firm grip on her arm. Her movements were slow and deliberate, each step echoing ominously in the vast hall.

"Do you see now, Your Majesty?", Queen Nightmare Moon's voice was cold and mocking. "Do you understand the price of defiance?"

The King, still on his knees, looked up at the pair, his heart heavy with despair. The realization of his defeat and the despair he felt was overwhelming. Yet, he still defied her.

"Why?", he choked out, his voice breaking. "Why do this?"

"Because, Your Majesty, it is what I wanted.", Queen Nightmare Moon stepped closer, her eyes gleaming with satisfaction. "And my servants are granting me the happiness to comply my wishes. Like you."

The King looked at her in disbelief, all her actions and words. Even what she just did, running her finger along her neck. The BRRR sound behind him was unreal to him.

SLASH. He barely had time to understand.

"NOOO!!!", The King's wife clutched their crying daughter tightly, her body trembling as desperately trying to shield her.

Queen Nightmare Moon reveled in the spectacle before her. The anguished cries of the last two members of the Royal Family of Saddle Arabia, mingling with the sinister hum of Marshal Moonfang's blades, sent shivers of pleasure down her spine. Her smile broadened as Marshal Moonfang deactivated his windmill shuriken and approached, bearing a new addition for her her collage collection.

Holding it in his free hand, Marshal Moonfang adjusted his grip, using both hands instead of just one. He knelt before the queen, accompanied by her knight, with her arms linked with him in silent expectation. He presented the perfectly severed and cauterized piece, the very item the queen had demanded.

Immortalizing the final, anguished expression of the King of Saddle Arabia, his eyes wide with a mix of terror and sorrow.

"Oh, how I worship these moments! It makes a mare like me cry with happiness.", Queen Nightmare Moon exclaimed, holding her tears of joy streaming down her face. "Thank you, dear. You don't know how happy you've made me."

Nightmare Moon's Shadow, towering over him, allowed her master to bury his head in her ample chest. "This is for you, my queen, my love, my master."

Queen Nightmare Moon was reveling in the moment, so much so that she barely noticed her Marshal Moonfang walking away to prepare the new piece. However, she was not so lost in her delight that she didn't feel her lover's embrace.

Overwhelmed with happiness and the excitement of yet another request fulfilled, Queen Nightmare Moon found herself craving more. She was on the verge of being consumed by the euphoria of her servants' compliance, now desiring the same from her lover. She was on the edge, ready to grab her lover's head, the only one she allowed to satisfy her deepest need, and demand him to take her. The background prevented her from doing so, as she clung to her lover with one leg.

"Hmm?", she murmured, making an effort to pull herself away from her desires. The Queen turned, her lover still in her embrace, to face the culprits.

She gazed disinterestedly at the last two mares of the King's family. With Marshal Moonfang occupied, the wife and daughter wept freely on the floor.

The sight of a crying mother consoling her daughter over the loss of her father was not on her list of desires. Even she had no idea what to do with them. The incessant sobbing grated on her nerves, ready to yell at them to shut up. But then, she had an epiphany. A new idea formed in her mind, one that could turn this unexpected situation to her advantage.

She just thought of how to fix all her troubles of the night, all because she remembered the daughter was an adult already.

"You know what?", all eyes were fixed on Queen Nightmare Moon, including those of the sobbing mother and daughter. "This deserves a celebration... as we always do in Ever Night Forest~"

Those who did not live in Ever Night Forest, like the mother and daughter, looked on in confusion. But they would soon understand, just as every servant, guard, and maid in the castle did. They will have the same as the maids had, look of fear when they first heard it.

Queen Nightmare Moon declared maliciously, "I declare... that the whole castle will have another Nocturnal Amore!"

Thanking her niece in her mind for the idea, Queen Nightmare Moon observed the reactions of everyone in her castle. She was pleased, for she was about to do something for them as she began her speech.

"With our victory in Saddle Arabia, we should celebrate this very moment! Besides celebrating my victory, I would also like to announce the hiring of my two new maids. While I usually don't hire, I see that we are still missing some more for... feminine touch. So, I welcome the widow and her fatherless daughter to my castle to work as my new subjects. And I believe that everypony at this night, all of my subjects present here, should join in the Nocturnal Amore as we always do~"

The King's wife widened her eyes. Though she didn't fully understand what was happening, she was smart enough to assess her surroundings. She knew that declarations from this tyrant always spelled tragedy for her victims. The question was, what kind of tragedy awaited her and her daughter?

The smiles on the faces of the servants, guards, and nobles confirmed her fears. The despair in Fancy and the maids' faces told her exactly what kind of tragedy it would be.

"Hold on. I am still talking."

As the mother gathered the courage to stand and run with her daughter, with all the changelings upon them, the voice of the Queen of the castle stopped everyone.

Over time, everypony in the castle had learned to freeze at the sound of her voice. The servants were immobilized where they stood, even those who tried to fly fell straight to the ground. Only the King's wife and daughter were immobilized by her magic, as Queen Nightmare Moon, still holding her knight in her embrace, spoke again.

"I have a special order to give.", with a movement of her horn, she separated the mother and daughter. The mother ended up in the hands of her changelings, while the daughter fell into Fancy's arms.

Caught by surprise, Fancy almost stumbled. As he processed what had happened, he looked down at the trembling eyes of the daughter, realizing the gravity of the situation as the Queen's voice echoed.

"Fancy, since we still have personal issues between us, I have decided that you will be the first to receive the services of this new maid of mine~ I hope you are pleased, as I am helping you move past the memory of your wife. So... enjoy this night to your heart's content!... By the way, you two.", she turned to the maid Rainbow, who was frozen in place, dragging the maid Fluttershy who fell on the floor.

"Were you two going to get the Midnight Enchantment for the party or... are you already starting?", the fear on the two maids' faces told her everything. "I see. Well, it's only the princess I need. The rest of you... can start already~"

With that declaration, many things began.

Maid Rainbow picked up Maid Fluttershy and started running down the hallway to the other section of the castle. Maid Rarity had the same thought, but she was too late; she was grabbed from behind and taken to the usual place for servants and guards. Maid Applejack sighed and started walking to the doors, with the two minotaurs behind her, both servants always chose her. As for Maid Pinkie, she ran to an open window with her knives, ready to face the many other servants brave enough to take her on.

Queen Nightmare Moon observed how active her subjects were as they were chasing the maids. While she had a few females in her ranks, it was clear that her maids were the greediest among her servants. For many reasons.

Having seen enough, she noticed that the only ones remaining were her highest guards, a few changelings holding the King's wife, and her nobles, with Maid Celestia crying silently, unable to do anything. She had more to say to them.

"As I was saying, Fancy will be honored to have that new maid for himself. I will also give him the Midnight Enchantment that my changeling made to awaken a sad pony into the happiest pony! With this, you can leave every sense behind and let your desires run wild, Fancy. Since it has been a long time for you, and I believe it is the princess's first time, I will give you 10 potions for this night without any extra charge! Isn't that great, Fancy?~"

Both Fancy and the King's daughter's eyes widened. Their expressions worsened when an earth pony Unit walked into the throne room, carrying a tray with ten bottles filled with a strange greenish-pink liquid.

Fancy looked on in horror. He glanced around, searching for something to indicate he was imagining this. He found nothing but jealousy and mocking smiles, and the despair on Celestia's and the King's wife's faces.

He was about to object, but stopped himself when he felt the trembling mare on his arm. Even if he didn't accept, she already had.

At least he could be gentle with her. "I... thank you... your majesty," he said, tightening his embrace around the poor fatherless daughter.

"Good~ I hope you can use my gifts very well.", Queen Nightmare Moon smiled, then redirected that smile towards her maid Celestia. "As for you, you can start with that poor slave of mine."

"...What?", maid Celestia took a moment to understand what she meant.

From time to time, maid Celestia was left apart from everything as a form of her Queen's mercy. Nightmare Moon believed it was more painful to leave her sister isolated, just as she had been isolated years ago. Hearing and doing nothing while everypony had fun was her initial punishment.

Now, her Queen had changed her mind. "You hear me well. I am going to do something about the problems my subjects are facing. Unlike you, who does nothing! HAHAHA!"

Not giving her time, maid Celestia was hold by her arms by the nobles, finally eager to have her after waiting for so long. This nobles started to drag her while the slave changeling try in any way to carried her to start already. Even trying to undone her clothes on the way.

The Queen's cruelty knew no bounds, and Celestia knew that refusing would only bring more suffering. With a heavy heart, she accept her current fate. Nightmare Moon watched with satisfaction, her smile never wavering. She reveled in the power she held over her sister, the once mighty Princess of the Day, now reduced to a mere servant. And thinking about her servants, she turn to her favorite.

Without saying a word, the Queen's lover began kissing her neck, chest and even sucking her nipple. Her lust was increasing to such a point that something caught her attention but she didn't care. She noticed another slave entering the throne room, dragging maid Fluttershy by the arm. Fluttershy's eyes were lifeless, devoid of any hope without maid Rainbow.

Having an idea of what those two were planning, she laughed. "HAHAHA! Very well! I will allow the whole castle to enter the Nocturnal Amore! Just make sure to clean up after you're done!"

With her final declaration, she left the room with a spell. In the next second, Queen Nightmare Moon and her Shadow were in her quarters, kissing as they joined the Nocturnal Amore.


Note. This part was suppose be a sex scene, however, due to the circumstance of writing it with the other pending parts and editing, I have put it in a low category so I won't write it for now. Beside that I prefer being catch writing Pinkie singing a song than Rule 34 content of MLP without a form to explain my boss.

IF you are trying to think what I had in mind, look for H manga doujinshi 'Gaming Harem' Chapter or Part 4 by Tomoe Sasamori.


Queen Nightmare Moon's gaze was lost in a moment of happiness and ecstasy. She had shaped the world around her exactly as she desired in this universe. She looked down at her Shadow, which returned her gaze with the same emotion.

Then she began to punch it. SMACK. "This could be my dream."

She punched again and again. SMACK. SMACK. SMACK. "This could end like this!"

She stopped, her fist still raised. "But I am stuck with this... PHONY!"

Queen Nightmare Moon's expression shifted to one of rage and fury. She delivered a final punch to her Shadow, having had enough.

This was not the Shadow she wanted. "When you're actually with that BUCKING BOOKWORM!" BANG

With her final punch, she summoned all her strength. Her fist crashed down on the damaged and misshapen head of the Shadow, smashing through it like a ripe fruit. The force of her blow was so immense that it not only obliterated the Shadow but also destroyed the bed, part of the floor, and the room around them. A magical blue mist, the essence of what they were made of, including that 'Shadow', escaped and dissipated into the air.

And so Queen Nightmare Moon's lament began. "WHY! WAHH!!! I can't continue in this farce! Luna! Please! Grant the request I made to you!"

With tears in her eyes, Nightmare Moon met Princess Luna's angry gaze. "So you can use that memory as your own? Let me think... Denied!"

The real Luna, in her adult form and wearing the dress she donned for her return announcement in the real world, waved her hand to freeze the false world. But she didn't stop there.

Luna then focused her control to start undoing everything she didn't like, rather, everything she hated that could exist in here. She undid the copies of every citizen and pony, and the other countries that were born in this false world. She even sped up when she started to erase the versions of the maids she had wanted so badly to delete when they were created. Luna took a moment to clear her mind when she undid the copy of Twilight in this world.

When she was done, Luna opened her eyes. Her sadness was as clear as water on her face. She knew that this version could have happened if Nightmare Moon had won. But it was necessary.

Having had enough, Luna grabbed a blanket and threw it to cover her other self. "You really are my worst version. Couldn't control yourself when I was with him."

"Well, excuse me, princess!", Nightmare Moon responded, her head poking out from under the blanket. "Do you know how hard it was to distract us from that slut kissing our Shadow? At least you should have done it so we could have a real kiss rather than using our imagination!"

"Oh, so your request to have sex with him will help you in your work?", Luna crossed her arms from hearing it a hundred times. "My answer will be the same. I rejected your request!"

"Come on! You don't even believe it yourself. Otherwise, how do you always spy on me with my imaginary Shadow?", Nightmare Moon stood up on the bed revealing her in that sexy lingerie, which Luna thought about. "Have you forgotten that you were the idea with this outfit? And how did I catch you trying it on in this world? How many wet dreams have 'you' dreamed about this? With him?!"

Luna's eyes widened and her face turned red show she couldn't deny it, so she started to refuse. "Take that back and cover yourself!"

"Hey!", Nightmare Moon was taken by surprise when Luna climbed onto the bed and started struggling with her.

Both Luna and Nightmare Moon began to fight, each trying to make the other retract. Anyone seeing them in their current state, taking out the adult things, could tell they were sisters fighting innocently. The fight became even more chaotic when their third sister wanted to join in.

IWANTIT

'!!!', Luna and Nightmare Moon froze, noticing their other self.

Both mares stopped and started to work together. A magic blue dust tornado instantly manifested in the imaginary room around them. The tornado began to destroy everything in the false world.

The castle, the forest, and all the other place; countries, cities, towns, and monuments, were disintegrating into the blue mist from which they were made. The flora and fauna of this imaginary world also crumbled into the mist. Citizens, slaves, and versions of the real world joined in the dissolution, their forms fading into the swirling blue dust.

Everything that made up the fake world turned back into the magical energy that had created it, and everything returned to where it came from as the tornado that continued to pick up the remains.

When the dissolution was complete, all that remained was an empty, white rocky landscape under a clear, star-filled sky. As the last remnants of the false world vanished, a profound silence settled over the scene, with the planet Terra visible above.

When the tornado finally ceased, Luna and Nightmare Moon stood together, ready. Both mares were no longer in their previous outfits; instead, they were fully armed in their respective armors. Luna wore her new light blue night armor, while Nightmare Moon donned her darker blue night armor. Luna held a version of her old sword, and Nightmare Moon wielded her battle scythe.

The two mares held their weapons tightly, standing ready inside the ruined castle in the main hall. This was the true form of the castle from the false world, mirroring the Castle of the Two Sisters in the real world. For Luna and Nightmare Moon, it was a reflection of their current souls.

The Castle of the Solitary Eclipse. Luna's soul realm. Was here where she sleep.

I...WANTIT...ALL...

Luna and Nightmare Moon never let their guard down, they both even thought to see 'her' coming out of the dark and empty hallway that goes deeper. Even if they no longer heard her, they still did not drop their weapons.

Minutes felt like hours as they remained vigilant, their breaths shallow and controlled. The oppressive atmosphere weighed heavily on them, but they did not waver. They were prepared for anything, yet nothing came. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the shadows receded, and the whispers faded away.

Luna and Nightmare Moon exchanged a glance, their expressions a mix of relief and lingering wariness.

"She's still sleeping.", Luna whispered, her voice barely audible.

Nightmare Moon nodded, lowering her weapon slightly. "For now, at least. We must remain vigilant."

Luna stood up with more ease, but as she raised her hand, she noticed how tightly she gripped her sword. She gazed at her reflection, her fear of 'her' still present, even knowing 'she' was sleeping. The realization struck her. 'She' was more real than Luna herself, more true than this version of Luna.

With pain in her soul, Luna sighed heavily, releasing what was left of her fears. "Agreed. I shouldn't interfere too much with you. But please, try not to be so savage for my liking."

"You call that savage?!", Nightmare Moon sat on a rubble with her scythe on her lap. "Savage would be eating the heads collected in that dream world. 'She' even demanded the blood of foals! And don't get me started on what 'she' thought about the false daughters and her plans with them! That was savage! And that all happened just last freaky Friday!"

"SIGH... I know, that's why I rescued you.", Luna pinched her eyes. "Look, I'm sorry. I know I didn't restore you and give you some power just to listen to 'her' demands. But by doing so, you help me distract 'her' while I'm in the real world."

"Then how about we change places?", Nightmare Moon's suggestion didn't make Luna laugh. "Well, I tried. But let me say that you should be more active in your job. At least try to find a way to hug him, even with his armor, so I have material to work with!"

"And you think that I... haven't thought about it.", with heat rising in her face, Luna turned to leave. "I will continue our life... Please, continue making a life 'she' is happy with."

Nightmare Moon followed her with her gaze, watching as Luna left the soul realm and returned to their physical body. She stared at the space where her other self had vanished, a hint of pity in her eyes.

"Yeah... While I dream about him, you can wake up and see that you are not.", Nightmare Moon said, standing up and heading towards the tower where she had created the false world. She took one final look at the entrance to their soul before leaving.

In the deepest part of The Castle of the Solitary Eclipse, without needing to see it in person, Nightmare Moon knew the empty circular hall was at peace.

Where 'she' slept. The True Nightmare.

Heavy metal knuckles on her hands, metal wings made of razor blades, and a rougher, heavier armor covered in fight marks, blood, and spikes. Her helmet, adorned with horns on both sides, covered her entire face and upper jaw. White fangs contrasted with her dark fur and skin. True Nightmare slept with empty blue eyes.

I...WANTIT...ALL...

Her face and body were enveloped by a white magic mantle that calmed her. She was resting on her back at the top of a scorched tree planted on a rock with Luna's cutie mark.

Its eyes stared menacingly, waiting to comply with its desires.
