Luna and Twilight were running together on a big plain. Together, they were happy, laughing and playing cheerfully.

“Gotcha!” said Twilight, biting her marefriend’s tail softly.

“Yeah. You won a free hug!” replied Luna, swiftly hugging Twilight’s belly, nuzzling the unicorn’s neck.

“It’s so soft...” mumbled the alicorn.

“Want to touch my lips? They are muuuch softer...” hinted Twilight with a malicious tone.

“Of course they are, my dear Twilight...” said Luna, blushing. She bravely brought her front hooves near the unicorn’s neck, slowly bringing her lips onto Twilight’s, who was lying on her back, on a grassy spot.

The lips of the two mares melted together. Twilight moaned in pleasure, feeling the cold embrace of the princess’s lips on hers, and let her tongue massage Luna’s mouth from within, making the princess moan in response. The alicorn savored a taste that she thought to be forever denied from her; the sweet taste of her beloved’s mouth.

“That was so good, my darl-” Luna stopped, seeing the macabre show under her. Twilight had her eyes full of red cracks, and her horn was missing. The unicorn’s face was stained by dry blood, so were Luna’s lips. She inadvertently licked them. The flavor was horrible, the red fluid tasted like death itself. The princess screamed in disgust and pain, reliving practically the first sight of her beloved, dead.

“Please Twilight...” mumbled the princess, tapping the body with her left forehoof. It instantly became cold like ice, repelling the princess’s gentle caresses.

The corpse whispered an answer with a voice that seemed off, however.

“Luna, wake up...”

The princess was screaming, out of control, because the sight of Twilight was too terrible for her to handle.

“No, NO!! SOMEPONY HELP ME!” she uttered.

“Princess Luna, wake up for Celestia’s sake!” the voice said. The last word echoed into Luna’s ears and triggered her awakening.

“Celestia! That bitch!” she yelled, suddenly opening her eyes to their limit and standing on her front hooves. She was laying on a soft bed, far from the throne room where she confronted Celestia an unknown amount of time ago.

“Where am I? And who are you?” the princess stated with a mix of arrogance and rage. Hiding within her, however, was an excruciating pain, that had just recovered its ardor. A spectrum maned mare approached the crying princess.

“You finally awoke, Princess Luna.” she said.

“You’re... Rainbow Dash, I think. Why am I in this place? And where am I?” the alicorn asked with a fiery tone, trying to hide her sorrow.

“Chill out princess, you’re in Pinkie’s bedroom. You were asleep for nearly 3 days, suffering from some kind of nightmare you didn’t wake up from. I tried everything in my power to help you. Your Majesty, you were dreaming of Twilight... weren’t you?”

Rainbow Dash hesitated to say the last part of the sentence. Something into her mind was trying to not let her call the dead unicorn’s name.

“I-I was...” the navy blue pony replied, shivering, “I saw her dead... again. My memories are driving me to despair. Ahem, can you tell me what happened while I was asleep?”

Rainbow Dash blinked and breathed heavily. She nodded and, after some long seconds she started to explain the situation, trying to not meet the glare of the princess.

“Celestia proclaimed... that you are a public enemy and traitor. She even proclaimed herself Her Royal Majesty, stripping you of every power you had. We now are in a monarchy driven by a tyrant. And probably... a murderer.”

Murderer... That word felt so familiar. Celestia was a murderer, but how could Rainbow Dash know it? But, what caught Luna’s attention was the place itself. It smelled like fresh baked pastries. The room itself was happy-looking, colored and full of party decorations.

“Well, Princess. You are on the first floor of Sugarcube Corner. Pinkamena, also called Pinkie Pie, found you laying near Canterlot’s mountains. She decided that the best thing to do was-”

“Rescuing me, wasn’t it? I apologize for the inconvenience but I have to- aaaah, my leg!” exclaimed the princess, trying to stand up on her four.

“What happened to my leg? I can’t move it!”

“Princess, you broke it. It was very swollen and thorn when me and Pinkie found you. Now you should be able to move it, but it’s better if you don’t, for now. Please rest, you need it.” said Rainbow, glaring at the rebellious princess, that was hopelessly trying to stand up.

“We must stand, for our divine right to rule and for Twilight! Understand this, Rainbow Dash!” yelled the princess in royal Canterlot voice.

However, she stood back when she saw a little white box.

“That... Dost thou dare open it?” said the princess.

“I know that I shouldn’t have and so did I. I did not open it.”

“Good.” The princess lit up her horn and raised it, using her levitation spell to draw it closer to her.

The navy blue pony opened it, showing to Rainbow Dash the contents of the box, her horseshoes and crown that were once gifts for Twilight, an eerily sparkling blue rose, a scroll, the Tiara of Magic and Twilight’s severed horn. Dash recoiled in fear at the sight of her friend’s missing horn. Why did the princess have it? And why did Twilight choose to leave it for her?

“P-princess... is that what I think it is?” asked the cyan Pegasus, resisting the urge to throw up her breakfast.

“It is. This is Twilight’s horn, severed from her own skull...” The princess started to cry, before continuing, “I... I relived every second of her life; she probably had done some kind of spell to store her memories here. And, I don’t know why, but even her very last moment, her sui... her suicide is stored here, seen from her perspective.”

“You did what? How, and why?!”

“I don’t know, and, anyway, I wouldn’t say that to you.”

“As you wish, princess.”

Luna spread her wings and stood up, somehow. The leg hurt extremely badly, but she managed not to scream. She gritted her teeth and stood up in all of her fiery appearance, causing Dash to recoil back. But not from her royal beauty. She had big eye bags, a broken leg swollen out of limits, and her eyes were the mirror of sorrow, red of three days of uninterrupted cry. The princess was near to her lowest, dragging her left foreleg when walking.

“Screw that pegasus, spineless pony!” a voice yelled repeatedly in Luna’s mind.

“Stop! I won’t rape her!” Screamed Luna, falling on her knees, trying to stop the voice that inexorably tempted her.

“What? Princess what is happening to you?” whispered Rainbow Dash, worried for Luna. Well, mostly for herself, actually.

“Fuck that filly with all your might! She hasn’t even a quarter of your strength now; she’s here to fill you with pleasure!”

“No! Voice without a body, stop yelling to us to take Rainbow Dash!”

“Princess? Why are you saying these things? Are you okay?” asked the cyan Pegasus, now really worried about her safety.

“Dash, go away... ah, my head! It burns! I don’t know if... Run for your life, Pegasus!!”

Rainbow didn’t obey. She touched the alicorn’s horn, feeling an oppressive sensation. Something into her mind wanted to help Luna and the Pegasus knew that touching her horn meant doing something to calm her. She moved both of her forehooves on the princess’ horn and slowly started rubbing it.

Luna was lying on the floor, with her eyes tightly closed, and a suffering expression on her face, but it was working: the fast rubs of the Pegasus made her expression calm, moving to one of pain to one of relaxed pleasure.

“Rainbow Dash, d-don’t stop...” the princess told the pony that was drawing her to a very useful horngasm.

Dash heard what the princess said and lent her tongue on the base of Luna’s horn. The fur on her head was very soft and her horn was smooth. From the base to the tip was a great pleasure for Rainbow to lick as Luna, despite the great sensation she was feeling, blabbered,

“Another lick, then stay back, for your safety. My h-horngasm probably would make you feel sick from the huge amount of magic, understand?”

“Okay...” Rainbow Dash replied with a disappointed tone, blushing.

“Three, two, one... Dash, I-I’m coming, step back!” yelled the princess, before shooting a black lightning from the tip of her horn.

“Whoa! What was that thing, princess? I have never seen a bolt that powerful from a unicorn.”

‘Pure darkness... Why did I shot a black bolt of energy that strong? The voice is... gone, and my headache too, oh yes!’ thought the princess, now standing with pain in her leg, but feeling way better.

“Princess, are you sure you’re ok? You don't seem to feel too well.” said the Pegasus, looking at the alicorn, who was leaving the room.

Down in the shop floor every single pony saw the princess, and most of them looked disgusted by her presence.

“She’s a traitor...”

“She dared to attack our matriarch, Celestia, the one who raises the sun for us!”

“She isn’t that different from the jet black alicorn who wanted an eternal night...”

Luna heard every single word spelled from those simple minded, naive and ungrateful ponies.

“SO... OUR PRESENCE DISGUSTS THOU? HOW UNGRATEFUL OF THOU! WE ARE THINE PRINCESS TOO, THOU SHOULD SHOW SOME RESPECT!” yelled the princess, in her Royal Canterlot Voice.

“You aren’t the princess anymore, you have no right to yell at us that way, nor to use that voice.” said a unicorn, showing bravery. Too much bravery.

“Ahahaha, how interesting. You, little foal, dare to tell me what to do?! Get out of my hooves before I stab you with my horn, you’re already shaking. Perhaps bowing to me has become difficult to you? And to all of you, what in Equestria did Celestia tell you to trick you into making me so undeserving of your love?!”

The unicorn was down on his knees, but managed to speak: “Princess Celestia told us all that you attacked her, trying to take her life. She declared that you were a high traitor and sent some guards to tell you to go back to Canterlot to face her judgment. If you dared, she said.”

“So. DID THE IDEA THAT US HAST A GOOD REASON TO ATTACK THAT IVORY MONSTER YOU LOVE SO MUCH CROSSED THE MIND OF ANYPONY?”

“No... we don’t need any. You’re Nightmare Moon!!”

“That name... I love the shivers that name makes you feel when you say it. But I AM NOT NIGHTMARE MOON! NOT ANYMORE! I am Princess Luna Harmonia of Equestria, and I claim your bows, as with my divine right to rule you as that monster that you love so much does!” the alicorn expressed solemnly, calmly but with a really angry expression.

“No, you aren’t our princess anymore. We live under queen Celestia’s monarchy now.”

“Perhaps my orders didn’t reach you, my dear little subjects. You, over there, come here.” said Luna, pointing at a mare. Somehow that mare was Rainbow Dash, who sneaked between the shouting princess and the frightened ponies. Dash looked at the faces of the other witnesses of Luna’s resolve to reinstate her power.

“You, bow to me!” she ordered to Dash.

Dash swiftly obeyed the order, positioning herself with the muzzle on the ground. Luna stomped her hoof on the ground and calmly ordered to kiss it. Dash blushed like never before, because, even if she sometimes did with Pinkie, she was the one kissed; now she was ordered to do it. Her heart raced, her cheeks were crimson; she was panting at the sight of the princess. She was probably covering something, expressing that much rage and autarchy. In that moment, Dash didn’t care about the details. She placed her lips onto Luna’s left forehoof, the broken leg’s one, and sucked it. She felt a jolt of electric pleasure making its way through her spine.

“Perhaps that somepony still has her head on her neck, and knows how to obey me.”

Dash felt her pleasure growing; when she heard how much emphasis Luna used on the word obey. This didn’t last much, because the traitor princess hinted her to stop. The Pegasus reluctantly stopped and laid in silence, hearing the words that followed her hoofkissing with a complete focus.

“My dear subjects... can you see how much she loves me? It’s not that difficult for you to do it as well, and I promise that I will repay everypony who’ll bow to me.”

“How?” some unidentified pony asked.

“Having your life spared. Is that enough?” said the princess, sarcastically.

Nopony answered. They all just bowed, fearing some kind of reaction.

“I’m sorry for all of this but I promise there’s a good reason for you to obey me. Please, would you like to hear my story?”

Nopony answered, and Luna started to tell them about her relationship with Twilight Sparkle. While denying saying all the spicier details, Luna told them everything about their feelings for each other, from the beginning to their sad ending. Some screamed, some other just cried in silence. Dash yelled to the ponies words full of anger.

“You see? You see that your sun and mother hides her sadistic and brutal side? Luna had done well attacking Celestia because you’ve been tricked by her! You all believed that her exile from Canterlot and her being stripped from her powers to rule was the right thing. Guess what? It wasn’t!”

“Rainbow Dash, your noble words are very worthy of the Element of Loyalty, but they’re right. Even if I was too harsh, they know the truth now. Despite those words said by Celestia I really believe it when I say that I love my every single subject. Indeed, I shoved the truth about that monster into her ears, brutally too, but effectively. Please, my dear,” said Luna, now facing her new subjects, “I am sorry for this display of rudeness. Forgive me if you can. Oh, and raise your heads, I’d like to see your faces.” added Luna with a much forced smile.

Most of them had already fallen on the ground, some others were now angry. Angry for Celestia’s misdeeds. Angry for being tricked by the only pony that they could trust, without a second thought.

“Luna... I have to talk with you about something...” said Rainbow Dash.

“Not now, my dearest subject. I have some plans for today.” replied the blue alicorn, shutting up the Pegasus.

Luna quickly got back upstairs to take her beloved’s rose and horn, and dressed the Tiara of Magic. She lit up her horn and with a little teleporting spell she materialized a war garment, and then she dressed it up within few minutes. She returned to the first floor where her new subjects were, shocking them with her fiery new appearance.

She was dressing jet black armor, with protections on wing bones and their joints, knee braces, straight shoes, not covering much but giving her hooves a slender and elegant appearance, and a very complex chest plate. The full garment was crafted for warfare; Luna knew it, as it was made from an extremely resistant, yet light metal. Her chest plate was complex and elegant, spiking up from her shoulders and softly curving on her neck. Everything was perfectly covered with blood red engravings, giving her a fierce and ready-to-battle appearance.

“My subjects, do you see this armor? This ISN’T Nightmare Moon’s, the Elements completely shattered it. This light armor has been made directly by Equestria’s best smiths, thus it’s indestructible... maybe.”

Dash was amazed. If Luna was beautiful, this armor gave her an even better appearance. The only misplaced detail was... Twilight’s horn. It was pending from Luna’s neck, mounted on a gold clip. It seemed more of a war trophy than a memento.

“Thus, I present myself to you, citizens of Ponyville, ready to defend you from any kind of harm, as your new Royal Princess!”

The crowd bowed and then yelled in unison “Salute our royal Mother!” followed by cheers.

“Follow me, subjects, we have a city that needs to know the truth!” said Luna, walking away from Sugarcube Corner. Limping but with pride, she walked to a plaza and rested. After a long breath, she opened her wings and elegantly raised herself into the mid-noon sky.

“CITIZENS OF PONYVILLE! WE’RE HERE TO TELL THOU THE TRUTH REGARDING OUR ASSAULT TO THAT WHORSE THAT THOU CALL CELESTIA. SHE DIRECTLY KILLED TWILIGHT SPARKLE, HER FATEFUL STUDENT AND MY BELOVED COMPANION, AND WITHOUT MERCY SHE DIDN’T ONLY DESECRATE HER MEMORY, CALLING HER A BITCH, BUT SHOWED DISRESPECT FOR MY PAIN AND FEELINGS. HOW DO THOU FEEL, BEING BETRAYED BY THE PONY RISING THE SUN FOR THOU? SICK? DISGUSTED? WELL... WE FEEL ANGER, OVERWHELMING AND WARM ANGER. DO THOU STILL THINK THAT OUR BANISHMENT FROM CANTERLOT, PASSED BY THAT ALABASTER BITCH WAS JUSTIFIED?

It was sure everypony heard the short monologue of the princess, and made it’s very own considerations. Some did not believe the colts for instance, but other adults could, thus believing the words of the royal sister. There were rumors about Celestia being involved in a murder or something like that, and then they reconnected the rumors, the attack report and Luna’s speech. Celestia killed Luna’s lover for she knows what reason, then Luna assaulted her. Against Celestia, however, nopony could do anything; the blue princess was defeated, banished and stripped from the ruling role. Everything barely made any sense in the eyes of most ponies. But somepony knew all of the details. Somepony who could have done something for deny all this. But it was too late for her to muse on what she should have done. There was something that she could do now.

Luna slowly landed in a crowd that was cheering for her. They were encouraging her to take her place as their true and rightful monarch, as somepony shouted the last thing he should have.

A unicorn with red coat and mint-green mane raised his voice to yell the most disrespectful words that he could manage to pick.

“You’re Nightmare Moon! You want to kill Celestia with our support, and then you will betray us, you monster!”

Luna lifted him with her telekinesis and stared at him, crying his eyes out with fear.

“My former sibling has made a good work raising you to worship her. You would lick her flank if she ordered you to, wouldn’t you?”

“Lemme go! She was right... you and your pathetic excuses won’t fool me!” he said, resorting to the last spark of courage, or bravery, that he managed to find. It sure wasn’t the right thing to do.

Luna lit up her navy blue horn and touched the unicorn on his forehead, making him feel an extreme pain just by contact. The royal horn was hot, burning with renewed hate for Celestia and every single pony daring to follow her.

The stallion fell on the ground, with his forehead completely burnt to the skull.

“This... this is what you would get by misbehaving with Tia. But I have done this just for show you. Please, believe me; I would never do those things to you. I love my subjects but she covers her true plans by saying this. What are her plans? I do not know exactly everything but I will make her say everything... before killing her, as she deserves.”

“How do you want to do it, my princess?” asked the Mayor, worried for Luna.

“First, call me Luna. Second, I know how to kill immortal beings. Magic can do it, but I would probably end my reserves against her. There is a weapon, however, somewhere in Equestria, so powerful that nothing can resist its edge. Not even that soft and fragile white neck. It was lost or hidden, but I want to find it, to prove her my intentions...”

“Luna, there are 10 guards out of Ponyville. They claim to be your... escort to Canterlot.” said an orange pony with three apples as her cutie mark.

“Fear not, miss Applejack. I will confront them alone. ALL of you stand back here. I will discuss with these guards personally.”

All of them stood still and obeyed. All but one.

She silently followed the princess through the streets of Ponyville, where ponies occasionally bowed to their rightful monarch. Then she was there, with the group of guards waiting. She stared at them, looking for a brief moment at the ponies she would soon crush under her majestic hooves. They were all white, with cyan manes and deep purple eyes.

“They are so similar to her... probably they are beyond any help...” thought Luna, before talking to one of them.

“Who should you be, sirs?” asked politely the alicorn, showing some mercy before slaughtering them.

“We are here to cut your wings and break your horn. Then, we will restrain you and we will take you to Canterlot, to face your final judgment. As Queen Celestia ordered us.”

“So you really are beyond any cure... She completely destroyed your inner selves; I shall have no fear in killing you without guilt. I will free my beloved subjects!” Luna breathed heavily, before lighting up her horn and fiercely stomping on the ground.

Her telekinesis raised Twilight’s horn and made it touch Luna’s.

“Twilight, help me in this crusade...

Lend me your strength, and let our love burn through the darkness of this world...”

“Please...”

The Tiara of Magic shined a very bright magenta light from the star shaped gem encased in gold mounted on it. Luna closed her eyes, and felt every single memory of Twilight fiercely burning into her mind. From the best... to the worst, which was, in fact, the last one.

An extreme amount of pain was firing into Luna’s body, but the Tiara was releasing a huge amount of magic into her too, giving her powers beyond her normal levels. The alicorn was now coated in a more dark blue color, and her cutie mark had been reshaped as a red waning moon with a magenta star next to it. Her whole body was now coated in a crimson aura. Luna slowly opened her eyes. They were red with a slit pupil. She was crying deeply, but she could clearly see through her tears. When her eyes were wide open, she emitted a black shockwave that made the ground tremble.

“Feel free to say thine last prayers, thou puppets! We, Luna Harmonia of Equestria will execute thou for thine high treason against us!”

Luna charged forward, impaling a stallion’s left forehoof with her horn. She then lifted him with her neck, opening a large wound on the guard’s leg. Another was jumping on Luna’s back, but she bucked her left back leg upward. Even if she was wearing horseshoes, she could feel the bones cracking and snapping under her elegant, but very mighty kick. The Pegasus hanging from her bloodstained horn was a heavy nuisance, however, so she lit it up and made the leg of her prey explode. Two less, eight to go. Luna fired a fast bolt of lightning, instantly killing a Pegasus, then, from the tip of her horn, fired a blue flame that burnt three of the guards to death in mere seconds.

Still four to go, though. Luna was suffering; she was directly reliving Twilight’s memories with her during her berserk. The thing that hurt the most was, however, killing innocent guards. They were puppets, but innocent nevertheless. While she was resting for a second, trying to recover some kind of bravery, Luna was attacked by another pony. He made a mistake jumping, though, because Luna downed her head, spreading her wings, and then jumped with enough power to fiercely stab him to death, right in the heart. Another guard had his neck broken by Luna’s forelegs; she used her magic to make him bow, then stood on her back legs and landed her front ones on the puppet’s neck. It snapped very easily, the princess thought. Another one had his jugular completely ripped off his neck by Luna’s vicious bite. Her teeth became sharp fangs while she was using the Tiara’s power, and she found it very useful. With only one guard left, Luna lit up her horn and fired a light beam so powerful that left just a few grains of ash where the her enemy stood moments before.

The princess took a deep breath and closed her eyes, the extra energy leaving her body that was now back to its normal state. Her leg didn’t hurt anymore but she was suffering, way more than before. She was just living again Twilight’s memories of the time they passed together, and she just killed ten innocents in the name of Justice. She fell on her knees, sobbing desperately, with her forehooves on her face.

“Justice? What kind of sick justice would want this? Twilight... I don’t even have the power to protect my subjects from Celestia, as if I have the power to avenge you... I am so confused and torn on what to do... I want to kill Celestia, to avenge every single life she destroys, but, as strong as I am now, I don't stand a chance against her. Somepony... anypony... help me...”

Somepony wished to protect her. She was wondering why Luna was torturing herself and if she could do something to stop her. To protect that beautiful being. Her moment of truth was drawing closer...
