Mlp adventures : A mare in the moon

Late into the night, the party was still raging on. Twilight’s already thin patience grew thinner. “Do these ponies ever NOT party?” she groaned and sighed. “Legend has it.” she said to herself as she scanned another book and looked at the moon. “On the longest day of the 1000th year, the stars will aid in her escape and she will bring about eternal night.” She looked on her book and saw four stars surrounding the moon move closer to it. “And just what are these Elements of Harmony? I hope the Princess is right and that it is just an old Breezies tale.

“And if it isn’t,” Flash said, getting her attention as he walked up to her. “Then I’m sure Princess Celestia is prepared for her.”

“And if she isn’t?” Twilight asked sadly.

“Then I know you’ll find a way to stop her.” He replied with a small, heartwarming, grin. “And you won’t be alone.”

“You’re right, I have you, Spike, my brother, and cadence, and everyone in Equestria.”

“And everyone out there.” Flash said as he gestured to the window. “If she returns, she’ll have to face a whole army of Ponies. Don’t worry, Twilight. Everything will work out, I have hope.”

Twilight smiled, knowing her best friend was right. Then Spike entered. “C’mon, Twilight and Flash!” he cried. “It’s time to watch the sunrise!”

Twilight did have to admit, she loved watching Celestia rasie the sun. She soon found her self, her friends, and everypony else at the Town Hall. Among the crowd were some fillies- Applebloom, the one they had met at the Apple Family Reunion, a white unicorn with a pink and purple mane and tail, and an orange pegasus with dark pink mane and tail. Like Applebloom, the other two were blank flanks.

“Could that white filly be Sweetie Belle?” she wondered to herself. Her pondering was cut short when Pinkie seemed to appear out of nowhere.

“Isn’t this exciting,” she cried. “Aren’t you guys excited? Cause I’m excited so much that I’ve never been so excited! Well, except for time that I saw you walking into town and I went ‘GASP’ but, I mean really, who can top that?” Twilight saw Cadence in the crowd and waved at her.

Fluttershy’s birds began singing as a spotlight focused on a late aged Earth Pony with a scroll for a Cutie Mark. “Fillies and Gentlecolts, as mayor of Ponyville, it is my great pleasure to announce the beginning of the Summer Sun Celebration.” everypony cheered at the announcement as several others clapped their hooves. “In just a few moments, our town will witness the magic of the sunrise, and celebrate this, the longest day of the year!” the mayor continued.

Twilight, however, turned her attention to the moon. The four stars had come so close, they were no longer visible. The imagery of a mare’s head seen on the moon vanished. Flash noticed Twilight wasn’t paying attention, before he could ask what’s wrong the mayor spoke up again.

“And now, I am honored to introduce to you the ruler of our land, the very pony who gives us the sun and the moon each and every day, the good, the wise, the bringer of harmony all of Equestria…”

At this, Fluttershy signaled to her birds. “Ready?” she whispered. The birds nodded.

“Princess Celestia!”

Right on cue, Fluttershy conducted her birds into a fanfare as Rarity drew the curtains. As the curtains opened the spot light moved up, everypony soon realized that nopony was there, and looked up in shock.

“Wh-where is she?!” squeaked the white unicorn filly.

“Uh, Mabye she’s just playing a joke,” suggested Spike. “She IS known for her sense of humor.”

“Wait, really?” asked the orange pegasus filly.

“You don’t know about it?” Spike said, surprised.

“She doesn’t get out to Ponyville too much,” admitted Applebloom. “Ah think the last time she came was about a month ago.”

“Still,” said Rainbow Dash. “You’d think she would have jumped out by now if she did prank us.”

The mayor looked around, panic creeping onto her face. “Stay calm everypony, there must be a reason for this.”

From out of nowhere, a purplish mist appeared in the middle of the balcony. The sight caused Twilight to slowly shrink back and whisper, “Oh no.”

“We need to evacuate the hall.” Flash commanded as he flared his wings and lit his horn. “Twilight, I need you to-“

Suddenly the Town Hall doors open and the same dog creature from earlier run into the building. Ponies scattered as it looked back for a second and ran straight into Flash’s back leg. It fell to the floor and looked up at Flash and then to Twilight.

“What is that thing?” Spike asked.

“I don’t know. I’ve never seen a dog like this.” Flash said as he tried to help it up. The creature growled and backed up, it then put its paw up and closed its eyes, everyone was confused until it opened its eyes and jumped right on to Flash’s back. “Aww, you’re a cute little guy aren’t you?”

“It looks so weird. What do you think it is?” asked Pinkie as she scratched the dogs ear.

“Mabye it a new species that’s just been discovered.” Twilight said, as she goggled the creature in amazement.

Suddenly, again, an angry scoff came from the doors sas the two stallions that were chasing it barged in.The dog immediately growled and got angry. “Can we help you?” Asked Flash, not trusting the look of these two.

“Give to me creature.” said the large on as they approached. “How you say… Pretty please… Or I’ll destroy you.”

“Really? You think you’re gonna step to our friend.” Applejack appeared angrily. “ Cause we got something to say about that.”

“Yeah, how are you gonna do it? There’s only two of you, and thousands of us, hmm?” Rainbow said as she got in their faces.

Then a cackle appeared on the balcony and in the smoke came an alicorn in a dark blue -almost black- colored appearance. She stood at the same height as Celestia. Her mane and tail were dark blue with star-like sparkles adorning it, her flank was purple with a silver crescent moon for a cutie mark.

“Nightmare Moon.” Twilight whispered again, her mouth trembling.

“That’s not good.” Flash replied, ready to take to the air.

“Oh, my beloved subjects,” the intruder said. “It’s been so long since I’ve seen you precious little sun-loving faces.”

The two stallions shoved Flash to the ground and grabbed the dog. They ripped off the potion around its nick and got to where Nightmare Moon was.

“Really?” the alicorn said, growing angrier. “Do none of you remember who I am? Or did that biased Celestia erase any mention of me from history over these 1000 years?”

“There was one mention!” cried Twilight. Twilight and Flash standing before her, ready to fight. “I’ve read a legend about it. You’re the mare in the moon. Nightmare Moon.”

As the ponies in the crowd all gasped in shock, the alicorn seemed to have a wicked grin.”So, someone Does remember me?”

“One of us did.” Flash said, flashing Twilight an apologetic gaze, “But even if we didn’t know the legends, we’d still fight to protect our princess!”

“Pity it won’t do you any good now! Remember this day, little ponies. Because it was your last. From this moment on, the night, will last, FOREVER!” The alicorn laughed wickedly as her mane and tail became a cloudy vortex.

“Wait a minute!” Spike screamed, making Nightmare Moon stop. “I don’t understand. How did you escape from the moon? Princess Celestia made shure it was permanent. There’s no way you could’ve gotten out on your own.”

Nightmare Moon laughed at this question. “I didn’t escape on my own. I had a little help from an old partner of mine.” She said as all of a sudden two green eyes appeared behind her. Foot steps walking out into the light to reveal a Satyr like demon with ear rings on his horns and a light crimson chest plate and rist bands. He had huge red wings and a long black beard. His lower half was like that of a minitor and a long tail with furr on the end.

“No… it can’t be.” Twilight said fear coming all over her body. “Zarozard” she whispered.

”ITS ME”
