Nightmare Sparkle

Night against Nightmare

As I neared the poor mother, she dodged, instinct kicking in. But she wasn't fast enough, grabbing the back of her neck with my teeth I turned my head sharply, and let go, sending her flying.

She screamed as she hit the Carousal Beauitque, Her lifeless body slumping to the ground before slowly rising again to walk among the dead.

Her eyes were now as dead and cold as the rest of them.

News that a Nightmare had escaped their prison rang through Equestria fast. I instantly knew what Nightmare had escaped by the colors flashing through the sky.

Thunder boomed loudly as the clouds started to pour rain onto us, It's as if the sky was crying.

Looking to the heavens I whispered, "Celestia, help us. I know you are gone, but please."

Hoof steps sounded behind me, "Luna, It's time to go." The Royal Guard, Baron, said.

I looked into Barons brilliant blue eyes, his stunning silver mane, jet black coat. He truly was Royalty. Opening my wings, I took to the sky.

Luna crashed through the sky, I watched her scan the scene before her. It was truly gruesome. Dead ponies walking, ponies dying, and then there was me.

Twilight the Nightmare.

I was now tall and thin, much like Nightmare Moon was, but, she's now Princess Luna. Flicking my tail with a snort I looked her in the eye. Her eyes slowly faded from blue to black, before becoming a blazing red.

"Surrender Nightmare Sparkle. Accept your fate."

Grinning ear to ear, I snorted. She clearly underestimated me, the great Nightmare Sparkle.

Hoof steps were heard from behind Luna. I looked as Spitfire, Soarin, Fleetfoot, and all the Wonderbolts stood next to each other, wings outstretched.

Trixie followed them, along with the Diamond Dogs and an Ursa Major, an actual Ursa Major, no Minor.

I gasped as more of my old foes and friends stepped out from behind Luna.

They were on HER side?!

Laughing I yelled over to them, "This'll be fun!" Charging my horn, I got ready to fire. I looked over at Rainbow Crash, who was staring in awe at the Wonderbolts, giving Pinkie Pie enough time to slink away from her attacker.

Damn fool, Rainbow is. I shot the nearest thing, when suddenly, something blocked my enraged shots. I looked up to see Sweetie Belle, eyes closed in concentration and frustration, using her magic to stop MINE.

Scootaloo landed on the ground, scooter sliding on the pavement. Apple Bloom rushed in and charged straight at me. I dodged easily, but not before she cut into my side with her paint brush.

I winced as Scootaloo charged at me, the Cutie Mark Crusaders coming straight at me, followed by Trixie, the Wonderbolts, and finally the Ursa Major. I took to the skies before diving down, causing another blinding Sonic Twilight Boom, causing all alive ponies to stagger back weakly.

I. Am. Not. Being. Defeated. By. Weaklings.

I looked at Flutter Die, Apple Hack, Scareity, and Rainbow Crash, my creations. My children of the night.

"Attack!" I shrieked to the dead ponies.

I was surprised to see the ponies step from behind me, and the Ursa Major and Diamond Dogs. "What art thou doing?" I asked Trixie, who looked at me. "We are helping you Luna, you are the rightful owner to the Throne as of now," Soarin whispered, looking over to his dead mate, Rainbow Dash.

Their kids suddenly came crashing through the underbrush, Sonic Rain Booms bursting. The filly, Raina, caused the brightest. The colt, Boomer, caused the loudest.

Outstretching my wings, I got ready for battle.

We would win, and Nightmare Twilight would be banished forever.

I will stop at nothing to see her cower before me.

As the dead ponies charged at us, We charged back. Raina and Boomer fighting off the Pegasi with the Wonderbolts, Trixi against the Unicorns with Sweetie Belle, and Apple Bloom and Scootaloo with the Diamond Dogs and the Ursa Major against the earth ponies, and finally, myself against the greatest foe. Nightmare Sparkle.

This would be interesting.

Pinkies Part In Battle

I remember faintly of the day after Celestia died, Twilight had whispered to me,

"Pinkie Pie, save me from myself. I fear I may go crazy if someone doesn't help me." I laughed and shook her words off, I regret it horribly.

Lifting a hoof, I shielded my eyes from Rainbow Dash's kids Sonic Rain Booms. They were so bright, so brilliant.

I looked around for Discord, and found him by the hooves of Nightmare Sparkle. Slipping away from the dazed Rainbow Dash, I hurriedly ran to him. The battle field was covered in blood, and dead bodies coming back to life do to Twi-Nightmare Sparkles magic.

Discord whispered weakly, "Y-you know something Pinkie? I think our lives a-are just there....No r-reason, j-just there..."

The impact of what he was saying hit me hard, the center of my heart screamed with agony and sorrow.

Our lives, they did not matter. We would die, and our lives would be for nothing. No one would remember us in a thousand years, no one would care. We would die, and possibly forget everything...Everyone...They would be zapped from our memory forever.

I shook my head and collapsed beside Discord, "Please Discy, don't die.." I looked to my swollen stomach and cried, "We have children on the way! You can't die! I wont let you!" I stood to my hooves and looked around for something to stop the blood flowing from his handsome head...

All I could see was the battle raging on...

And then I remembered something...

"Rainbow Dash, Flutter Shy, Rarity, Apple Jack!" I screamed to my deceased friends. They looked over at the sound of their names being called. Big Macintosh kicked Rarity off of him.

I ran at each of their graves, faster than I had ever ran. "Come here, all of you!" I shouted, they obeyed, only because of my assertive tone. Digging around in each of their graved, I found what I was looking for. "Apple Jack, come." I called to the earth pony, who obeyed. I placed the Honesty metal around her neck, and instantly her skin glowed and she came back to life, for the moment. I did the same with all four ponies. They all blinked, seeing their bodies return to their old form.

Standing tall, I yelled to them, "Twilight Sparkle has destroyed herself, she is beyond help, but you four, You four have potential! Apple Jack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Your family are fighting against Nightmare Sparkle now." They looked to see Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom, Boomer, and Raina fighting against Nightmare Sparkle bravely.

"Flutter Shy, look." Flutter Shy looked to see Angel holding up a small sword, and yelling. Animals poured in from all directions to help the ponies defeat Nightmare Sparkle. She looked at them surprised.

"Your friends, your family, They need help! Let us help them take back Nightmare Sparkle, and possibly gain Twilight back!"

Rainbow Dash countered, "We need a sixth member dim wad." I nodded and grabbed Twilights crown from my saddle bag.

"Leave that to me." Galloping away from them, I left them to battle with their loved ones.

"Trixie!" I shouted to the powerful Unicorn. She looked over for a moment before going back to her magic, cape fluttering from the tornado she and Luna had caused.

I placed the Element Of Magic crown on Trixie's head before galloping towards Nightmare Sparkle, my Element Of Laughter charm starting to glow.

"Hey, 'Hero'!" I called mockingly to the Nightmare,

She looked over at me, eyes wanting to kill.

I gulped, scared for a moment, before charging at the Nightmare. The war wasn't over, and I couldn't back down now!

Opening my eyes slightly whilst running I saw a blinding rainbow coming from all of the Elements Of Harmony charms and Crown.

We were ready,

Ready for battle.

Regrets of a Nightmare

"Who are you? You're not Twilight Sparkle, Unicorn of Equestria."

A voice echoed through my head....What? Of course I'm Twilight! Right?

Tears swelled in my eyes as I forgot where I was for the slightest moment, but then Something, someone called to me.

"Hey, 'Hero'!"

I looked down to see a young pony, no, not young...Just smaller than I was. She looked familiar....Pinkie?

I looked past her and saw all of my old friends....Oh Celestia! T-the voice was right...I'm not Twilight Sparkle....I'm some garish Nightmare, a hollow shell of the pony I was...Where did I go? Where...Where...

"Enough Nightmare!" Another voice screamed at me. I'm a....Nightmare? I looked at the battle field, and immediately remembered. Celestia was dead...And Luna was Princess!

My sanity drained again, the voice telling me who I wasn't died.

I had my regrets, but this wasn't one of them!

I looked at my 'friends.'

They were my minions before Pinkie Pie turned them against me! I was surrounded by ponies, good and bad. Evil and splendid. Dark side and Light side.

Staggering to my hooves I remembered...I remembered what I could do.

It was the only answer.

Looking at ponies surround their loved ones, trying to protect them, gave me the brightest idea since bringing up the

graves.

"Chrysalis!" I called, facing towards the heavens. Moving my hooves apart, I bared my jaws and got ready for another cry. The ponies looked at me.

Eyes fearful.

"Twilight, stop it!" Pinkie Pie shouted at me. I looked down at the small pink pony, in my eyes, she was nothing...

She was once a friend but....No, I wont think about the past.

A surge of electricity flashed from my horn, and I was enveloped in sorrow...Everyone, Every Pony, was watching flashbacks of me and my 'friends.' It had been so long...

I saw Rarity and Sweetie Belle at the Sisterhood Social.

Pinkie Pie and that griffon...Gilda.

Rainbow Dash saving the Wonderbolts and Rarity

Apple Jack saving us from the stampede

Flutter Shy trying to be assertive

Spike....Oh god....Spike helping me...

I couldn't watch anymore...The memories flooding through me....They were...T-too much...

Collapsing to my knees I was forced to watch the other heart warming memories.

My old friends, they smiled and cried happily as the memories flood their minds. Luna laughs as she sees herself scare Pip. Shivering and shaking I slowly gather myself.

I see her in the distance.

I want to scream and shout and run to her but...I cant do anything but watch.

Celestia.

I saw her stop me from destroying myself when I was just starting out in the magic world.

I saw her at the Grand Galloping Gala.

Everywhere I looked, there were images of her.

Images of the beautiful, brilliant, Celestia.

After her was a sorrow filled wave of Spike...The little dragon who helped me throughout the years, who fell in love with Rarity, who was my little buddy....Who died...Who I could have helped.......

Bursting into tears I cried and screamed silent cries. No one heard anything but Spikes voice, Spikes handsome, innocent voice.

Covering my head with my hooves I sobbed silently.

Spike was gone.

Celestia was gone.

The second this battle is over...

My friends will be gone.

I wont let the battle end. It was simple.

"Dear Celestia," I heard myself start to say, Spike writing as it went along.

When it entered his death scene...We were all confused.

The death scene didn't show.

Blinking, I opened my eyes, waiting for it to flash through my mind.

Foot steps were heard echoing.

"What's going on here?" A familiar voice spoke.

Raising my head, the memories faded slowly, and Spike stood, staring at all of us.

The end of Nightmare Sparkle

Everyone looked at Spike surprised, including the walking dead. "I...I...Wha....Hu...He's....SPIKE?!" I stammered. He looked at me, confused. "Who are you?" He asked. My heart shattered within me. Spike...My old friend....He didn't recognize me. Peering at me, realization covered his face. He looked all around,

"Twilight!?" I nodded slowly, my hate slowly fading away. I looked at him for the longest time before he turned around and waved to something behind him,

"We found them, Come on!" My eyes widened as Celestia walked from behind Spike, her tall form contrasting against his small shape.

"C-Celestia!?" Luna gasped, rushing to her sister, burying her head in Celestia's coat. Everyone except the walking dead rushed to Celestia.

No.

The battle was not over.

Nor will it ever be.

I glared at Luna, my hatred growing and glowing inside of me. Rearing up on my hind legs, I whinnied.

"The end is nigh!" I said, bringing my hooves down onto the ground, sending it splintering. Looking down in fear, I saw the ground beneath me disappear.

Spike and Celestia looked at me, fear and confusion in their eyes. Luna screamed, "For you!"

I whinnied and snorted in terror as I slowly disappeared beneath all of the ponies hooves. Outstretching my hooves, I attempted to fly up to the sky, but the dirt and rocks falling down upon me soon broke one of my wings.

I howled in pain as I tumbled to the bottom of the earth.

End.

Or is it?

Epilog.

It had been years since then, Momma told me so. Her and Daddy had told me Nightmare Sparkle was gone and the walking dead returned to their graves, Spike became the Queens guard dragon. Princess Celestia and Queen Luna ruled side by side.

Giggling, I brought my lion foot and eagles foot down on the ground where Nightmare Sparkle had crashed through. The ground suddenly disappeared.

My giggling ceased as a pair of glowing purple eyes peered at me from where I had broke the ground. It was a small hole, barely a claws inch but...The eyes could be seen clearly.

"Katara!" Mamma Pinkie and Daddy Discord called to me, scrambling away from the hole I hurried to them, my brothers and sisters teasing each other with their tricks and kicks.

I took one glance back to see a purple hoof stick up through the ground.
