Chapter 4: Will The Battle Be Told?

Previous Chapter

Rainbow Dash was the first at the royal table. In fact, she had never left. Or went to sleep. Everyponyelse came in soon enough but the royals had yet to come. Fluttershy came in first.

"Dash? You never left?" Shy asked her.

"Nope," Dash replied.

Later Applejack and Rarity came in and exchanged glances.

"Uh, whut?"

"Dear, did you even go to bed?"

Pinkie Pie came in with some balloons and a picture she had drawn.

"Lookie here guys! I drew a picture! It has all of us in it!"

The five mares sat in silence then Twilight came in.

"There's the newest Alicorn!" Rainbow said. "We have'ta fly together soon!"

Twi blushed and sat down, folding her wings in as she did so.

The Princesses came in a while after.

"Sorry we are late," Celestia apologized. "These two tried to play hookie."

This got a sheepish smile from the two tallest mares. Once everypony sat down and finished eating they all walked out into the sun Celestia and Solar Flare brought up together.

"Um, Princesses, friends," Pinkie began."I drew a picture!" She held up a poorly drawn picture and smiled a big, expecting smile.

"I love it?" Shy more-than-answered, more of a question.

"It's very nice Pinkie," Twilight said with a smile that was mostly believable.

"Dear, I love the dresses you put us in," Rarity spoke.

"Those aren't dresses though..." Pinkie sighed. "You guys don't like it."

"Now Pinks, don't go bein all sad on us! Ah for one thank y'all did a nice thang fur us!" A.J. tried to cheer her up. Pinkie had a slightly bigger smile.

The princesses all agreed it was a cute thought and picture.

"Annnyyyyywhoooooo, story time?" Rainbow asked, begging the princesses.

"I suppose," Nightmare Moon spoke. " Everypony sit down and I will tell the tale of my defeat."

Nightmare opened her eyes. She looked at her twin, Luna. They were both in their teens.

"Let's do something fun," Nightmare whispered to Luna. Luna nodded.

They went to Celestia and woke her up with a shock of static electricity. Nightmare then hid in the shadows.

"Luna! No, you do not do that to your big sister!"

"B-But it w-was Nightm-"

"NO! No lying to me Luna. Go to your room!"

Luna sulked to her room and yelled at Nightmare Moon.

"You got me in trouble!"

"Yes, but it was fun,"

"Nighty! That's not the point! I do not like you anymore!"

Nightmare's slited pupils shrank in anger and betrayal and she hissed. Luna did not see her again. Not until she was 500 years older.

"Nightmare! Please, be good, we won't have to do this!" Luna begged her counterpart.

"No! No, Luna. Thou has't bertrayed us for the last time," The word last was emphasised with a stamp of the hoof. This was when the royal 'we' and 'thou' were used.

Luna started to fire at Nightmare, singing her fur. Nightmare returned the favor with icey spikes pounding out of the ground and knocked Luna down. As soon as Luna's head hit the ground Nightmare rose an icey spear and stabbed her through the chest. Luna's body recoiled in response to the pain. She shrieked very loud, piercing Celestia's ears. Celestia came to her aide and shot flames towards Nightmare, like a wave a surfer would ride, if it were made of water and not fire.

"We banish thee to the place thou deserves to be, the new place th-"

Celestia was cut off from a spike of rock jabbing though her flank and out the other side. She turned to see Solar Flare. Celestia ordered Cadence to heal Luna along with other healers. Celestia was forced to retreat to restart the fight with Solar Flare.

Luna was us soon, within about twenty minutes. She encased Nightmare Moon in ice, then added a layer of rock and sand. After she added water to strengthen the mix, she spoke to the abomination.

"Thou tricked us. We will never forgive thou. We must make a new world with nopony to communicate with. We hereby banish you to the moon in the name of Equestria!" Equestria had an effect of lightning and thunder behind her. She jutted nineteen spikes of ice and rock through Nightmare Moon. Nightmare jolted from the pain shrieking a demonic sound. As the next spell left her horn, Nightmare vanished into a blue-violet haze with stars inside, them moving up to a rock in the sky that nopony had ever seen before. As Nightmare Moon arrived, everypony could see the face of the mare in the moon.

"The End," Nightmare Moon spoke.
