Nightmare Moon pt 2

Previously on Miraculous Harmony, after a thousand years being imprisoned in stone David was finally able to break free and after being freed he met with his kwami Sarra who explained everything he missed while he was gone and lead him into a small town known as ponyville.

After arriving in town in the disguise he gave himself he saw how much his home had changed after a thousand years and when night fell he went to town hall to join in a celebration called the summer set celebration to meet Celestia and Luna again but the celebration was interrupted by a evil mare known as Nightmare Moon only for David to realize she was actually Nightmare Moon akumatized but the biggest surprise was when Hawkmoth revealed himself.

After the reveal of Hawkmoth Nightmare Moon escaped now David is trying to find new wielders for the ladybug and black cat miraculouses to help him defeat and free Nightmare Moon.

(Unknown location)

“Ugh this is why I can't stand heros they're just too heroic but I waited this long for this night to come and now that the guardian has returned I can finally get my hands on the Miraculouses ladybug and black cat. ” Hawkmoth says with a smirk. “But first I need to have a little chat with the princess.” he says until a moth symbol appears over his face.

“Nightmare Moon are you there?” Hawkmoth asked.

“Yes Hawkmoth, I'm here, what can I do for you?” Nightmare Moon replied.

“I want you to go back to that village and make sure they don't do anything to stop you from completing your mission. After all, you don't want me to take away your powers do you?” Hawkmoth asked.

“No I don't and i promise you I'll get you your miraculouses after all I personally know the guardian.” Nightmare says with a grin.

“Good I'm counting on you Nightmare Moon so don't fail me or else you'll never keep your night up forever.” Hawkmoth says before ending his communication with Nightmare Moon.

(Ponyville Third P.O.V)

Throughout the night David has been looking out for any signs of Luna now known as Nightmare Moon while at the same time he's been looking around for anyone who would be worthy enough to wield the powers of the ladybug and black miraculous.

“If I can't find someone soon I might have to fight Nightmare by myself which means it'll be easier for her to get both miraculous if I can't defeat her.” David says before landing on top of the roof of a house. “There has to be someone worthy?” as David looked around he spotted Twilight tree house and saw the lights were on. “Hmm, of course maybe Celestia student can help.”

With a new goal in mind David made his way to the Golden Oaks Library. Once David arrived at Golden Oaks Library he heard voices coming from inside.

“Twilight what are we going to do? We have to stop Nightmare and save Princess Celestia?!” I heard Spike ask Twilight worriedly.

“We need to find the book about the elements otherwise we won't be able to know how to save Equestria or the Princess if we can't defeat Nightmare and find where the elements of harmony are!” Twilight answered in worry and anger as the sound of books being tossed around can be heard.

“Elements Of Harmony? Wait, is she talking about the Miraculouses Of Harmony, is that what everyone's been calling them these days now the Elements Of Harmony?” David thought to himself after hearing what Twilight said but then he noticed five of the mares he saw at the celebration coming to the library so thinking fast he hid in a nearby bush.

When the group arrived they overheard Twilight talking about the elements, hearing about the elements the rainbow maned mare barged into the library.

“And what exactly are the Elements Of Harmony huh? And how did you know about Nightmare Moon, are you a spy?!” David heard the rainbow mane pegasus before rudely and judgingly ask Twilight.

“Settle down there Dash she ain't no spy but I reckon she does know what's going on here don’t ya Twi?” I heard the cowpony mare ask.

“I read all about the prediction of Nightmare Moon and some mysterious objects called the Elements Of Harmony are the only things that can stop her but I don't know what they are, what they can do and where to even find them?” Twilight answered.

“I believe I might help with that.” David says getting all the mares and dragon attention as he entered through the window.

“Wait I know you, you're that guy who appeared out of nowhere and started fighting off against Nightmare Moon.” Spike says surprised to see David.

“Yeah and speaking of which buster you apparently seem to know her more personally so spill it what Nightmare Moon planning and who is this Hawkmoth are you three in cahoots?!” Dash says as she gets up in David's face.

“Woe there I don't mean any harm I'm just here to help plus if you were to try beat me up for answers then I'm sorry to say but you won't get any that way so if I were you my Rainbow maned friend I would calm myself first and listen to what I have to say okay.” David says trying to calm Dash down.

“Fine but you better start talking or else.” Dash says as she backs away from him.

David gave a sigh of relief before giving a serious look. “Okay first I'd like to clear something up the objects you are referring to as the Elements Of Harmony or actually called the Miraculouses of Harmony in total there are six of them each representing a concept Honesty, Kindness, Generosity, Loyalty, Laughter and Magic and each grant their wearers special powers but when used together can bring harmony and seal away evil and last I remembered seeing them there were all kept safe in my old home that are now in ruins.”

“And where exactly is this home of yours if you don't mind me asking darling?” The white unicorn mare from before asked.

“Yeah and what about Nightmare Moon, how do you know her and who is this Hawkmoth she mentioned? Is he that guy that was made up of tons of butterflies?” Dash asked.

“Well yes and no, no to the whole made of butterflies and yes that was him but I'll get to him in a bit because as for Nightmare Moon she's well how should I say it my mare friend.” David answered, shocking everyone.

“SHE'S WHAT?!” They all shouted in unison.

“Yeah but back then she went by a different name and never wanted to make the night sky last forever.” David explained. “Back then she did worry about the ponies not loving or appreciating her night but I helped her see things a different way but now she's been akumatized to be this Nightmare Moon.”

“Akumatized, what's that?” Spike asked.

“It means for ponies who have come into contact with a special butterfly called Akumas that hides in whatever that pony has on them turning them into villains that are controlled by the one who sent the akumas their way and only way to free an akumatized person is by breaking the objects the Akuma is residing in and capturing it.” David answered. “But since Nightmare has been akumatized for too long her heart may be corrupted by the dark power of the Akuma so we need the help of the elements as you call them to remove that dark power.”

“Wait, you're saying a tiny little butterfly is why Nightmare Moon is evil.” Rainbow asked, confused before laughing. “That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.”

“Laugh all you like but it's true and the one who currently has control over her and her powers is Hawkmoth as he wields a mystical artifact called a miraculous and his miraculous is the brooch of the moth which gives him the power to give others powers and make them his followers.”

“An’ how would ya know about what the source of powers this Hawkmoth feller has an’ what he can do?” The cowpony mare asked.

“I would like to explain that but currently we don't have the time seeing how we need to stop Nightmare.” David says.

“He's right the more time we stand heros talking the more time Nightmare Moon has to take over equestria.” Twilight speaks as she turns to the other ponies. “So you said the elements are in your place that are in ruins?” Twilight asked, turning back to David.

“Yes they are.” David answered with a nod.

“And where is this home of yours um…?” Twilight asked before realizing she doesn't know my name.

“Oh right my apologies I never introduced myself. My name is Hydrabug. It's a pleasure to meet all of you.” David says introducing himself to the group.

“Well Mr. Hydrabug my name is Twilight Sparkle.” Twilight says introducing herself.

“Names Applejack partner.” the cowpony named Applejack says introducing herself.

“You can call me Rainbow Dash fastest flier in all of Equestria.” Dash says fully introducing herself.

“Hi my name Is Pinkie and I can't help but feel like I've seen you somewhere before?” Pinkie says introducing herself while looking at David closely.

“It is a pleasure to meet you darling, my name is Rarity.” Rarity introduces herself elegantly.

“O-oh…um hi, M-my name is f-Fluttershy…” Fluttershy mumbles meekly.

“And my name is Spike.” Spike says introducing himself.

“It's nice to meet you all also as for where my home is it lies within the Everfree Forest.” David says only to gain gasps from the Group.

“You live in that dreadful place?” Rarity asks with a gasp.

“Yes? I assume ponies don't live there anymore?” David asks with a tilt of his head.

“Well duh, why would anyone live in a place so dangerous?” Rainbow says with a roll of her eyes.

“We can talk more about where ponies live later. Right now we need to head to the Everfree forest and get our hands on the elements so we can stop Nightmare Moon.” Twilight says before she ran out the library with the other following behind but when she saw Spike She stopped and turned to him.

“Sorry Spike but where we're going it's going to be dangerous so I need you to head back to the library and wait for me until I get back.” Twilight says, placing a hand on his shoulder.

“Good idea Twilight, it would be best to have someone watch over the town while we traverse the everfree.” David nods his head in agreement.

“But I want to come I can help.” Spike says with pleading eyes.

“No Spike, I need you to stay here. I don't know what I would do if my little brother got hurt because I let him join in on something so dangerous.” Twilight says with the tone of a worried older sibling

“But?” Spike says before being interrupted by Twilight.

“I said no Spike so please just go.” Twilight says to Spike.

“Okay Twilight I'll go, just promise you'll come back safely?” Spike asked.

“I will, I promise.” Twilight says before giving Spike a hug and ran off to catch up with the others while Spike went back to the library but as David sees Spike head back to the library he gave a smile.

“Hm, you go on ahead Twilight, I'll meet you and the others at the entrance to the everfree in a moment.” David speaks as he looks at the library.

“Okay see you there.” Twilight says as she heads in the direction of the forest while David pulls out the Black cat miraculous smiling before heading back to the library.

(David P.O.V)

I walk into the library holding the miraculous of the black cat in my hand as I whisper to Plagg. “Hey bud, I think I found you a new wielder.”

Plaggs comes out and sees Spike from the window. “Him, you're talking about that dragon who's Celestia's student assistant?” he asked.

“Yes, he holds great potential, much like your previous wielder, Adrien Agreste.” I answer with a smile as Plagg’s eyes widen.

“You still remember us talking about what me and others remember before we ended up with you as our guardian?” Plagg asked, surprised.

“I do, it's one of the more pleasant memories from back then.” I chuckle at Plagg's question.

“Oh I see well in any case he does kind of remind me of Adrian in away so sure why not I wouldn't mind him being my wielder just as long as he has some Camembert for me to enjoy.” he says which made me roll my eyes before I entered the library getting Spike attention.

“Huh Hydrabug, what are you doing back here? I thought you went with Twilight and others to take them to the castle?” He asked.

“I will in a moment, but I thought you could come with, that is if you want to.” I ask, already knowing the answer.

“I wish I could but Twilight doesn't want me to come because she doesn't want me to be in danger.” He says with a sigh as he put a book back in the bookshelf while I just smiled and pulled out the Black cat miraculous.

“Well, Spike. This is the Black Cat Miraculous-” I begin, only to be interrupted by Plagg.

“Yeah, yeah this is the Black Cat Miraculous and I'm Plagg the kwami of destruction and putting the ring on will grant you the ability to use my powers.” He says flying out the pocket of my suit grabbing the miraculous and putting it in Spike hand.

“Wait what? You mean I can be like a hero like in my comics?” Spike asks before getting excited. “That's so cool!”

“Yeah and sorry about Plagg he's well a handful at times but still reliable.” I say with a chuckle as I rubbed the back of my head.

“Hey, what makes you think I'm a handful?” Plagg asks, a little annoyed at what I said.

“So basically he and this ring are what will give me my powers?” Spike asks as he put on the ring.

“Yes however under no circumstances are you to tell anyone your identity not even Twilight because if Hawkmoth or anyone he akumatizes find out you told someone your identity they will use them to get to your miraculous in which case I'll have to take back for your safety and the world's because the miraculouses shouldn't be used for evil which is something I'm going to fix when I find Hawkmoth and retake his miraculous.”

“U-Uh sure so um how do I actually use this exactly?” Spike asks unsure how to use his miraculous.

“Oh I can help with that all you need to say is Plagg claws out.” Plagg says as he lands on Spike's shoulders.

“Really that's all?” Spike asks, looking at me as I gave a nod. “Alright Plagg claws out!” Spike shouted, causing his ring to glow.

“Oh boy here we go.” Plagg states before being sucked into his miraculous making the ring turn black.

“Sweet!” Spike says before he clawed at the air making two clawed gloves appear on his hands then swiping at both his shoulders causing his suit to form over his body as his dragon tale turns into a cat tail before swiping his hands over his face and over his head making his maks appear over his face and a pair of cat ears over his head until he finishes his transformation by jumping in the air back flipping before landing in a pose like black panther.

“Hmm nice you look great Spike.” I say with a smirk. “Though you might need a name to hide your real identity so why not think of one before we catch up with Twilight and her friends.”

“hm… well, this suit is black, like a panther… maybe something with Panther?” Spike mumbles to himself as he places his clawed hand on his chin in thought.

“Panther huh I like it then hence fourth you'll be known as Panther Noir it's great to have you on board now lets go and meet up with Twilight and the others.” I say before heading out the door.

“Right! Panther Noir reporting for duty!” Spike exclaimed with a salute and a grin on his face as he followed me out of the library and towards the everfree forest.

(Two hours later)

Once we arrived at the forest edge we spotted Twilight and others entering it. “Hey girls, sorry we're late!” I called out getting their attention.

“Huh? Hydrabug, who's this?” Twilight asks as she looks between me and Spike.

“This is Panther Noir. He's here to help with defeating Nightmare Moon.” I say introducing Spike as Panther Noir to the girls.

“It's nice to meet the six of you, I'll do everything in my power to assist.” Spike spoke as he leaned on his staff.

The six mares greeted him back before Twilight reminded me about leading them to the castle. “So about leading us to your home and the elements?”

“Right, there should be a clear path into the everfree, just follow me and Panther, alright?” I spoke, looking at the group before me.

The group nodded before I started leading the way to the castle. None of us were aware that we were being watched by a cloud of blue smoke.

(Everfree Forest Spike P.O.V.)

As we walked the path Hydrabug was leading us down I couldn't help notice how creepy the forest looks especially during the night but as we walked Twilight decided to ask the group about the forest.

“Has Anypony noticed how dark it's gotten? It's unnaturally dark, even for a forest like the everfree.” Twilight asks as she looks around cautiously.

“That's because the Everfree Forest is unnatural, it just ain't right.” Applejack answered.

“The clouds moving on their own.” Rainbow added.

“The animals fending for themselves.” Fluttershy added.

“It's not all that weird, weather is like this in many places outside of Equestrian borders.” Hydrabug suddenly speaks up, surprising everyone except for me and Twilight.

“Really?” Rarity asked, surprised. “My word how do those outside of Equestria deal with something so unnatural.

“Just like me they go with it as it feels natural to them since like I said I lived in this forest all my life.” David answered and hearing that sparked another question in Twilight and myself.

“Wait, if you've lived in the everfree for a thousand years, how come no pony has ever seen you?” I ask, more than a little curious to Hydrabug’s answer.

After hearing her question his expression became that of a disappointed parent the same look I saw Twilight's parents give her or Shining when they do something bad. “Let's just say there was an incident that caused me to be away for so long.”

Before any of us can ask what he meant the ground beneath our feet gave away causing all of us to slide down to a cliff. “Aaaaghh!! Hydrabug what do i do?!” I cried out trying to look for anything to grab.

“Use your staff!” He called out.

“R-right!” I shout nervously as I grab my staff tightly as I stab it into the ground, causing me to slow down until I come to a complete stop.

Sighing in relief I spotted Rainbow and Fluttershy catching Rarity and Pinkie Pie and as for Twilight and Applejack my eyes widen in shock when I see Twilight let go of Applejack but before I can call out to her I was surprised to see Hydrabug had caught her while swinging from webs that came out of his gauntlets.

Looking back to Applejack I spotted her the cliff face so following her lead I made my way down with her until we both made it to the bottom with the others and once others started walking off I looked towards Hydrabug and smiled. “Thanks for saving Twilight Hydrabug.”

“It's no problem Panther, just doing what I've always done.” Hydrabug replies with a small chuckle.

Nodding to his words we started to catch up to the girls unaware of what awaits us. After a bit of walking we ended up encountering a Manticore. “No way, a Manticore?!” I say surprised by its sudden appearance.

“Heh haven't fought one of these guys in a long time this'll be good.” I heard Hydrabug speak but before he and I could do anything the both of us were suddenly teleported to a new location.

“H-huh?! Where are we?” I asked nervously as I looked up at Hydrabug.

“Hold on, I recognize this place we're back at my home in a secret underground training room where I train guardians but how did we get here?” He asked as he looked around until we both heard laughter.

“U-uh…Hydrabug? I…don't like that laughter.” I spoke nervously as I looked around the room cautiously.

“Of course you'd recognize this place my dear guardian after all it's where you trained me and my dear sister.” A voice I recognize as Nightmare Moon says before the center of the room was surrounded by blue smoke before it came together to form Nightmare Moon. “And I see you chose another to wield the black cat ring.”

“I have, and we are not giving up until we free Luna.” Hydrabug speaks with conviction as he looks Nightmare moon in the eyes.

“Hah you were always the one to never back down from your goals but it ends here I will get your miraculouses and give them to Hawkmoth then stop those pathetic ponies from getting miraculouses of harmony and then the night will finally last forever.” Nightmare Moon says before laughing and summoning up two shadowy clones of me and Hydrabug and disappearing.

“H-huh? What did sh-Woah!” I exclaim as I block my shadow self’s attack with my staff.

“Panther Noir word of warning when you see your clone hands covered in dark energy stay away because that destruction energy one touch from that and you're done for and I'll explain how to use your powers too!” Hydrabug says as he fights off his own clown.

“O-ok!” I shout as I kick my clone off of me.

My clone brought out its own staff holding it in their left hand and forming a ball of dark energy in their right hand where they had their ring before they charged at me trying to touch me with the dark energy.

“W-whoa!” I exclaim as I dive to the side.

“Alright Panther if you want -ugh- to use your powers just call out Cataclysm and the same dark energy will -oof- appear in your hand where you have your ring.” Hydrabug says while taking hits from his clones before it summons a ball of dark energy in both hands. “Shit you got to be fucking with me.” He says keeping his distance from his clone. “And one last warning since you're still young once you use your Cataclysm you'll have a five minute timer before you transform back to normal!”

“Right!” I nod before turning to my clone, thinking quickly, I use my tail to dig out chunks of dirt and throw them at the clone in an attempt to make them waste their Cataclysm.

As if planned, my clone actually did just that as it destroyed the dirt I threw it's way making it Cataclysm disappear before it lunged at me with its staff. My eyes widen as I dodge to the side before smashing my staff into their foot, Afterall, if they are a clone of me, then they have to be just as clumsy as I can sometimes be.

As if on cue the clone tripped over my staff falling face first while with Hydrabug I looked towards him and saw his hand was glowing in a strange red symbol while his clone was covered in the same symbol before being cut in half by it and dispersing into smoke.

My clone gets back up and pins me both, our hands locked In place against one another.

Thinking quickly, I shout. “Cataclysm!” While our hands are pressed against one another, causing my clone to fade to dust.

“Way to go Panther you did great, not bad for your first fight.” Hydrabug says walking over to me before helping me up but before I could say thanks I heard beeping coming from my ring.

“Huh?” I look down at my hand to see the ring flashing as one of the paws on the ring flicker before fading to black.

“Don't worry, that's the timer I mentioned once all five fade away you'll turn back but you can also de-transform automatically by saying claws in and since no one is around it's okay.” Hydrabug says with a smile.

“Right, Plagg, Claws in.” I mutter, causing the ring to glow and the suit to vanish.

Once Plagg leaves the ring he lands on my hands exhausted. “Man, I hate doing that.” he says through exhausted breaths.

“Here, give him this.” Hydrabug says as he summons a bag that I can tell stinks.

“I- um, ok?” I nod as I take the bag and look into it and see… cheese? “Uh cheese? Why give me a bag of cheese?”

“It's Plagg's favorite food, the only thing he thinks about and ever eats unless he has to eat something else if necessary.”

“Wait, really?” I ask as I turn my attention to the Kwami.

“It's true.” He says as he flies up the bag and digs inside it pulling out a cheese.” Oh delicious stinky cheese, how much I miss you so.” Plagg says before swallowing the cheese whole.

“...pfft.” I snicker with a smile on my face.

“Ah that hit the spot alright I'm ready to go!” Plagg says with determination.

“Alright, Plagg. Claws out!” I exclaim, holding out the hand that holds the ring.

After Plagg gets sucked back into the ring I transform back into my costume. “Alright Panther let's get going, the girls should be here by now if they keep following the road to my home.” Hydrabug says walking over to a door I assume was the way out.

“Right behind ya.” I say as I follow Hydrabug.

After walking through the door the both of us went up a flight of stairs until we came across a wall with a torch hanging on the side which confused me, making me think he might be wrong on the way out.

“Huh? Where's the exit?” I ask as I look at the blank wall before hearing Hydrabug chuckle.

“What do you mean this is the way out.” He says pulling the torch revealing it was a secret leverage as the wall in front of us opened up like a door.

“Woah! Awesome!!!” I exclaim, stars sparkling in my eyes as I watch the wall opening to the side.

“Hehe yeah my home is full of secret rooms.” Hydrabug says as we exited the hidden room and into what looks to be an old library.

“Huh, a library? After we defeat Nightmare we should bring Twilight here, she’d really like it.” I mumbled as I looked around the library.

“I'll think about it, Panther.” Hydrabug says before he heard Twilight and the others arrive and when we left the library I noticed that we were in a ruined castle.

“Twilight! Girls!” I call out as I run over to them.

“Hydrabug, Panther Noir? What happened to you two, where did you two go?” Twilight asked.

“Nightmare teleported us to an old training room of mine and had us fight dark clones of ourselves, but don't worry, we handled them well.” Hydrabug explained briefly. “What happened with you lot while we were gone?”

“It seems like Nightmare Moon threw some obstacles in our way trying to prevent us from getting here and speaking of which you never said your home was the ruins of the two pony sisters!?” Twilight asked with shock and anger.

“Wait, this is the castle of the two sisters?!” I exclaim in surprise as I look up at Hydrabug.

“Huh is that what people are calling my home now and these days I had no idea.” He says before shaking his head. “Anyways follow me. I can sense the elements as you call them this way.” He says before leading us to the elements of harmony.

“Right.” I nod as we begin to follow Hydrabug.

(Pedestal of the elements David P.O.V.)

After walking through the hall of the castle we made it to where the miraculouses of harmony or as everyone calling them these days the elements of harmony are at we all stand in front of a pedestal holding five orbs that I can sense were elements while the big one in the middle i could sense was the sixth.

“What happened to you my little ones?” I say in a whisper.

“Is this it?” Panther noir asks in curiosity as he looks around the room.

“That's right, those are the elements.” I say before Twilight friends went to get the five smaller orbs down before Pinkie started counting them.

“One…two…three…hey! There's only five!” Pinkie exclaims as she bounces around the five smaller orbs.

“Ah don't get it i thought there was supposed to be six?” Applejack asks.

I was about to answer but Twilight spoke first.

“It's not that simple, the guide book depicted that once the five known elements are brought together with a spark, the sixth will be revealed.” Twilight explains as she analyses the Elements.

“Yeah a spark is needed alright, a friendly magical spark.” I say to myself with a slight smirk.

Twilight nods her head, but before she can do anything, a familiar swirl of blue smoke surrounds Twilight and the Elements of Harmony.

“Twilight look out!” Me and the others called out before she was covered in the blue smoke and before they disappeared me and Spike jumped in joining her as the three of us vanished and reappeared in a different room.

The three of us blinked as we appeared in a new room, from what I could tell it was the old throne room… but the roof has partially collapsed.

“Haha oh how wonderful it would seem like I'll be able to kill two birds with one stone.” Nightmare Moon says with an evil grin. “First I'll take your miraculouses then I'll destroy the miraculouses of harmony then my night will finally last forever!”

“Not if we have anything to say about it!” Panther exclaims as his grip on his staff tightened.

“Yeah after all there's three of us and one of you!” I added while Twilight nodded her head in agreement before getting ready to make her way towards the elements.

“You're kidding right? You must be kidding?” Nightmare Moon asks only to see the determined looks on our faces.

“We can't let you win, Nightmare! We can't afford to let the night last forever!” Twilight exclaims as she lights her horn, prepared for when someone makes the first move.

Nightmare growls in anger before calling out on her miraculous powers. “Night howls!” She calls out making a pair of Moon themed weapons.

“Don't let her hit you with those weapons, they'll put you in a dream state, but there's no telling what you would experience in the dream while she's like this.” I warned as I watched Nightmare carefully.

“Got it!” Spike and Twilight say before Nightmare started charging at us.

Spikes eyes widen before narrowing as he used his staff to block an attack as I, with Twilight's magical support, pushed Nightmare back.

“You three fools will know why I'm called Nightmare Moon!” Nightmare says before using her magic to blow Twilight and me while turning to Spike and using her training I taught her before for dealing with miraculous wielder by disarming Spike first then kicking Spike away but not before cutting him with her blades.

“Gah!” Spike exclaims as he is thrown back against the far wall, unconscious.

“Panther no!” I called out before glaring at Nightmare Moon. “What did you do to him!” I asked before summoning out my yoyo with Tikki's powers And swung it at her.”

“Oh nothing much just gave him a Nightmare he'll never escape from even if he does wake up.” She says with an evil grin. “And soon you'll experience one yourself but first i think I'll take the first half of one of my prizes.” She says before running over to spike to take his miraculous.

“Not happening!” I shout, using the yo-yo to grab Nightmare’s back hoof and swing her to the other side of the room. “Twilight! Go check on s-Panther Noir, I'll distract Nightmare.”

“Right you got it.” She says before running over to Spike to check on him.

I look back at Nightmare trying to figure out where her akuma could be hidden. “Could it be her helmet, armor?” I say to myself trying to see if I can spot where her akuma is hidden. That was until Nightmare Moon got back and glared at me.

“You'll pay for that Hydrabug. I will take your miraculouses!” She says before teleporting and as I try looking for where she could've teleported, I hear a sound behind me before quickly shouting. “Lucky charm!” I called out before managing to summon a shield with my lucky charm like, talk about actual luck.

As I distracted Nightmare, I noticed from the corner of my eye that Twilight had successfully reached Spike.

“Great, she made it. Now I need to focus on Nightmare and find where her Akuma is hiding.” I say to myself as I look back at Nightmare before finally noticing her owl miraculous looks darker than it was last time I saw them before it dawns on me as to where her Akuma is.

“Shit.” I whisper to myself, realizing this is going to be a whole lot harder than I thought.

Noticing where I was looking at, Nightmare smirked before jumping back. “So you finally realized where my akuma is well too bad for you, your only way to destroy my miraculous is out of commission, why else would I take your Panther out first?” She says before laughing and even if you choose to use your powers to copy his you wouldn't want to risk accidentally touching me because I know you too well my dear guardian.”

Damn it she's right this was exactly why I went looking for new miraculous wielders before coming here so I have less chance of accidentally using Cataclysm on her when finding her akuma.

As I thought this I heard Spike groan before turning to him and seeing him starting to wake, which made me relax a bit now that I have my help back, however, instead of showing annoyance, Nightmare just laughs.

“What so funny Nightmare after all I got my partner back who's now fully awake.” I said with a smirk but felt like I was forgetting something.

“Have you?~” Nightmare speaks in a sickeningly sweet tone of voice.

“N-No please don't leave me what did I do wrong.” I heard Spike cry out and when I looked at him I was shocked to see a shadowy faceless mare staring down at spike.

“Wh- Panther! Don't listen to that thing! Whatever it is it's just trying to trick you. It's not real.” Twilight surprises me with her initiative.

Hearing Twilight's voice started to calm him down a bit, but the shadowy mare figure didn't like this and increased its power over Spike in order to keep him busy enough for Nightmare to do what she needed to do.

“Panther, I want you to listen to me, the mare in front of you isn't real, she is an illusion crafted by the mare in the moon, just like the clones, remember?” Twilight whispers as she kneels besides Spike, glaring at the shadowy figure.

Hear this Spike started to relax and smile. “Y-Yeah just an illusion it can't really hurt me.” Spike says and hearing this made the figure angry and tried putting Spike under its illusion again but it wasn't working causing the shadowy mare to disappear.

Seeing this causes Nightmare Moon's eyes widen in shock before narrowing in anger “How?! How did you escape from my Tantibus!”

“That's because he knows what you were showing him wasn't real after it's just a nightmare and nightmares aren't real.” I say with a smirk before punching Nightmare in the gut with my hydra gauntlets before calling out to Twilight. “Twilight quickly get to the elements. I'll take care of Panther.”

“Right!” Twilight nods her head as she runs to the stone spheres that contain the elements, a spell charging on her horn. Twilight watches from the corner of her eyes as Nightmare attempts to stop her.

“I won't let you!” Nightmare shouts, swinging both of her weapons at Twilight as she reaches the elements… only for Twilight and the elements to vanish in a flash of magenta light.

With another flash Twilight appears next to me and Spike before finishing her spell a spark to form with the elements shocking Nightmare. “What no!!”

After a few seconds the spark faded before the elements shattered, shocking me, Twilight and Spike while Nightmare grin and started laughing. “Hahaha you fools truly believed the elements would've stopped me too?”

“W-what?” Twilight stammers in shock and dread.

Despite the elements shattering I still felt their spirit and before I could reassure her we heard voices calling out to us from the stairs and hearing those voices I saw a spark ignite in Twilight eyes making me smirk. “In a matter of fact I do believe they can still help defeat you Nightmare because their spirits still linger.” I Say turning to face Nightmare with Spike standing by my Side.

“Their spirits reside within these mares.” I say pointing to Twilight friends who just arrived.

Twilight blinks in surprise before smiling. “He's right! You may think the elements are destroyed, but their spirits are right here!”

“Applejack who I saw reassure Twilight everything was going to be fine when she saw I was going to catch Twilight represents the concept and element Honesty.” I say as the honesty shard flew around Applejack.

“Fluttershy who showed compassion and kindness towards the Manticore who was in pain represents the element of kindness.” Twilight added as the kindness shards flew to Fluttershy who tried not gettingcut by them.

“Pinkie Pie who laugh at face in danger showing that there's nothing to be afraid of represents the element of laughter.” Twilight says as the laughter shards flew to Pinkie which made her happy.

“Rarity who cut off her tail to help a sea serpent in need represents the element of generosity.” Twilight continues as the shards of generosity flew to Rarity who admired their beauty.

“And Rainbow Dash who chose her friends over ambition, refusing to leave them behind, represents the element of loyalty.” Twilight speaks as the shards of loyalty float to Rainbow Dash who was flapping her wings.

“B-but that's only five! Your missing one element!” Nightmare stutters, her confidence waning at Twilight's growing smile. “The spark didn't work

“That's where you're wrong Nightmare!” I say as through my yoyo at Nightmare as it started to wrap around her as me and Spike ran over to her. “The spark did work the spark that Twilight needed when she realized those five mares who conquered your challenge were her friends.” I say as a light shone from above causing the shards to reform around the five mares neck while the last element formed on Twilight head while at the same time it removed Nightmare miraculous and tossed them to Spike. “Panther now!”

“Huh? Oh! Cataclysm!” Spike exclaims as he notices the miraculous headed his way, and as he catches it, it crumbles to dust as a black and purple butterfly emerges from what is left of the miraculous.

The six mares rose into the air before the elements shot a rainbow beam at Nightmare while I threw my yoyo to catch the Akuma. “It's time to de-evilize.” I exclaimed as I captured the butterfly.

“No, no! Noooo!” Nightmare shouts in horror as she is enveloped in the rainbow beam of pure harmony.

After being enveloped in the rainbow beam the room was filled with a blinding light and when it faded I noticed Twilight and the others laying on the floor unconscious and looking down at my yoyo I smiled and opened it as the akuma left. “Goodbye little Butterfly.”

I turn around as I hear Twilight groan, followed by her friends as they slowly wake up and push themselves up and off of the ground.

“Ugh what happened?” I heard Twilight as she got up from the floor.

“Oh my Rarity, it looks so beautiful.” I heard Fluttershy say to Rarity.

“Yes I know I'm never parting with it again.” Rarity says as she hugs her own tail.

“No, not your tail, your necklace.” Fluttershy says pointing to Rarity necklace. “It looks just like your cutie mark.” She says causing Rarity to from her necklace to her cutie mark that's on her arm.

“You're right and so does yours?” Rarity says pointing to Fluttershy necklace.

“Me too! Me too!” Pinkie shouted excitedly showing off her necklace too.

“Aw yeah!” Rainbow cheered looking at her necklace.

“My Twilight ah thought you and Hydrabug were spouting a bunch of nonsense but recon we really do represent the magic of friendship.”

“That you do.” Came a voice I thought I'd never be able to hear again as we all looked towards the window and saw the sun rise before a ball of light enters through the window and appearing in the room we're in and after arriving the light disperses to reveal Celestia causing everyone including spike to bow except for me and Twilight as i just smiled when I see her.

“Princess Celestia!” Twilight called out happily as she went to hug Celestia who hugged back before pulling back.

“I knew you could do it, my faithful student, I knew you would be able to defeat Nightmare Moon ” Celestia says with a smile.

“But I don't understand. I thought you said Nightmare Moon was nothing more but an old ponies tale?” Twilight asked.

“I said you needed to make some friends, nothing more. I knew you of Nightmare Moon return and that you would be able to defeat Nightmare Moon but only if you had help from friends which you have made.” Celestia says gesturing to the five mares in the room. “And speaking of which there is one other pony who I need to talk to.” she says walking away from Twilight and the others as she walks over to the young form of Luna who was laying on the floor. “Isn't that right Luna.”

Luna gasps as she looks up at Celestia. “I knew I should've done more to help you back so long ago if I had known you still grieved for our friend being turned to stone. The sorcerer wouldn't have been able to use that feeling against you. Could you ever forgive me?” Celestia asked Luna as she kneeled down to her.

“Oh sister of course I missed you so much.” Luna says she hugs Celestia but hearing Luna call Celestia sister surprised everyone.

After they broke away from their hug both Celestia and Luna stand up before Celestia gave a sigh. “Now to take care of one last thing isn't that right Guardian or should I formally say Prince Hydrabug?” Celestia says turning to me with a slight smile which surprised Spike and the girls and the look they all gave me was priceless.

“Hehe long time no see Tia you look well.” I say with a smile before looking at Luna sadly. “And Luna I'm sorry my sacrifice caused you a lot of grief.” I say apologetically.

“No thou hast nothing to apologize for thou only did what was right of them.” Luna says as she ran and hugged me. “Though thee guest that thou can make it with a date sometime.” Luna says with a giggle.

“Hehe of course and I'm guessing you'd like one too Tia?” I asked Celestia.

“Of course what mare wouldn't want a date with their coltfriend.” Celestia said with a chuckle.

“WHAT????” Twilight and the others shouted in shock.

“Oh hehe, did I forget to mention I was dating Celestia too?” I asked with a chuckle only for the group to answer with a loud “yes”.

Celestia Chuckled at this before giving a smile. “Why don't we all leave and head into town.” She says as she started making her way towards the stair before noticing Luna broken miraculous and the shield i summoned with the lucky charm earlier. “Oh Hydrabug, one last thing.”

“Hmm yeah Tia?” I asked before seeing her point to Luna's broken miraculous and the shield Lucky charm. “Oh right, I nearly forgot thanks.” I say with a smile before throwing the shield Into the air and shouting. “Miraculous Hydrabug.” After saying those words the shield lucky charm burst into glowing ladybugs that spread throughout the castle repairing it back to how it once was surprising everyone until the ladybugs surrounded Luna miraculous repairing it to before the ladybugs disappeared.

“There we go much better oh and the six of you can stop sleeping now Its time to wake up.” i say confusing everyone but the princesses.

There were some giggles before the elements started glowing before six kwamis appeared before each of the six mares, making them in surprise one last time making me chuckle.

Afrer we made our way out the castle and back to town pinkie ended up throwing a party celebrating Celestia safe return and the return of her sister Luna and once the party ended Celestia and Luna turned to me with a sad expression.

“Thou sure thou can't come with us?” Luna asked.

“Yes I'm sure Luna because with Hawkmoth out there trying to get the ladybug and black cat miraculous he'll be able get the ladybug and possibly the rest of the miraculouses Celestia keeping with her easily not to mention the both of you know my real identity so that's why I'm deciding to go into hiding and go under a new name and don't worry Tia Sarra told me about the missing miraculouses so I'm going to be looking for those after I come to Canterlot to pick up the miracle boxes later.” I explained

“Yes I understand , thank you Hydrabug for everything we'll miss you.” Celestia says with a sad smile before her and Luna hugged me before getting into the carriage that would take them to Canterlot while I made my way back into the forest but before I left spike called out to me who was de-transformed after he ran back to town to keep his identity security from the group.

“Hey Hydrabug, wait!” Spike says as he caught up to me.

“Hey Spike what's up?” I asked turning to the young drake.

“Hydrabug I-I have to ask can you please train me so I can understand my powers even more please because your the only one I can turn to since you had these powers longer then I have?” Spike asked with a bow which made me smile.

“Of course Spike I'd be happy to train you.” I answer with a smile.

“Really?!” Spike asked happily.

“Yeah and we'll begin your training tomorrow meet me back at the castle.” I answered.

“Right you got it i won't let you down master.” Spike says with a bow before running off to join back with Twilight and others.

“Well this is the start of a new adventure for me. Let's hope it doesn't end up like the last I say with a chuckle before entering the forest.” I say with a chuckle.

(Unknown location)

“Ugh Nightmare Moon may have failed to take yours and Panther Noir miraculouses Hydrabug but mark my words your next battle will be a nightmare you'll never recover from.” Hawkmoth says from within his lair.
