Luna stares at the portrait of Celestia hanging on the wall. Every wall has at least one picture dedicated to their wonderful leader. 'Tis made perfectly. It must have taken a lot of time to make it. It puzzled her when she tried to think of who could have painted it. Everypony loved Celestia, it could have been anypony.
Nopony even knows who she is and if they do they don't pay much mind to the fact. Luna has always been second best. Nopony respects her for she only controls the night, something that everypony takes for granted. It tainted her heart. You can only stay happy for so long.
A tear rolls down her cheek. "When will we get the recognition we deserve?" We are great even if they do not realize it yet. The tears begin falling more rapidly and the sound of whimpering soon accompanies them.
Luna looks outside and sees ponies playing. They're laughing happily. Not paying any attention to the fact that a certain princess is fed up with their disrespect for her glorious night.
"'Tis a pity. The night is so beautiful." Anger washes over her suddenly. Almost as if some kind of build up was finally released. "Those nuisances should be basking in the moon's glow and enjoying the stars! These simple minded ponies care nothing about us or our work! 'Tis only Celestia this, Celestia that! We should be showered with affection and gratitude!"
Celestia hears her sister's crying accompanied by her angered voice. She knows that she must cheer her up. "We only wish that thou would stop crying. Poor sister. We shall go appease her." Celestia walks up to her little sister slowly.
"Why are thou up at this hour? Does thee not sleep during the day?"
"We do not get the admiration that thou receives! Thy subjects love thee, but not us! What is not likable about us?! We wish to be respected as an equal!" Why doest they not care about us?! Luna was fuming at this point.
Celestia puts her head down, not wishing to discuss this subject once more. It had been brought up many times recently and she was tired of telling her that it was going to be okay.
"We do not have thy beauty and charm. Thou hast many likable qualities. Ponies just hast not been able to get used to thee. Thou must not worry. The time will come when we shall be as accepted as thee. Do not fret sister." Luna extends her large wings and looks at her older sister and fellow princess with fury in her eyes.
"How can we wait many millennia and still have to wait for the love we deserve!" Luna gets closer to Celestia with a look of evil and bitterness. She stares at her with eyes like sharp daggers and her face is twisted in a grimace.
"Calm down thy sister!" CALM DOWN?! Her heart suddenly feels as though it needs to finally let go. Anger engulfs her. Anger is what she becomes. Luna's coat begins to darken and her facial features take on the look of a demon. By this point she is completely on the dark side and quite frankly, she is not unhappy about this decision.
"WE DO NOT WANT TO CALM DOWN! WE SHALL GET WHAT WE DESERVE OR WE WILL FORCE THEM TO!" She stomps her hooves on the word force for added emphasis.
"Do not speak that way!" Celestia challenges her with her words, proving that she will not back down.
"THOU CANNOT SIMPLY STOP AN UNSTOPPABLE BEING SUCH AS THYSELF! I AM NIGHTMARE MOON, BRINGER OF ETERNAL NIGHT!" Celestia steps away from her sister, though this was no longer the sister she knew and loved. This was a beast who has taken over her innocent heart.
"Sister, we know that thou are in there! The night cannot last forever! That would affect many poor ponies! Thou would know better than others that ponies need light to play and see! They need light to grow crops and not ever going into the light can actually hurt your skin! If ponies cannot see where they are going then they will hurt themselves! Is that what thou wants!" Nightmare Moon flies right in front of Celestia with pure hatred coursing through her veins.
"THE NIGHT SHALL LAST FOREVER! THOU CANNOT STOP THIS! WE DO NOT FRET ABOUT SILLY SUBJECTS! THEY HAVE NOT LEARNED TO RESPECT US! THEY DO NOT DESERVE HAPPINESS AND SUNSHINE! THE DARKNESS WILL SPREAD AND IT WILL TAKE OVER! WE WILL TAKE OVER ALL OF EQUESTRIA!!!!"
Celestia shoots a bolt of electrified magic at this evil fiend. Is that how it is going to be? Her horn begins to glow as she charges full force at Nightmare Moon.
She blasts her with a sudden ball of magic. Nightmare Moon stumbles backwards, but tries to regain her composure. Celestia forces her to hit the wall with her horn.
"THOU SHALL NEVER HURT THY SUBJECTS! NOT WHILE WE ARE HERE!" Nightmare Moon erupts in evil laughter.
"Not for long thou will be." Her eyes become pure black and darkness surrounds her. She slowly gets larger and more evil as she stands there. "THOU SHALL PERISH!" By this point she is beyond furious and her pure hatred drives her to fight.
Nightmare throws her against the wall with mighty force. Celestia slides down the wall, leaving a small trail of blood behind. She slowly rises only to be hit with another forceful attack. She shoots her right foreleg with a laser, burning her white fur in that spot.
Nightmare Moon runs up to Celestia and grabs her by the neck with her dark magic.
"Thou will never defeat us. The light will prevail." She smiles wickedly at Celestia. She cuts her cheek and punches her very hard in the gut. Finally!
"Any last words, sister?" Sister comes out with an evilness behind them. Almost as if they're mocking her.
"Luna, thou are in there. We have always loved thee." Nightmare Moon puts her mouth right next to her ear and whispers something spine chilling.
"We guess that thou could not protect her subjects after all. Prepare to die." She looks Celestia in the eye and stabs her right in the heart with her very sharp horn.
A blood curdling scream fills the air as Celestia's reign slowly ends. She beheads her with her long horn and smiles the whole time. She admires her sister's head. Her lilac eyes were filled with determination, almost like she truly believed that she would win.
Nightmare Moon threw her corpse onto the floor on the other side of the room. "What a pity. Thou could've been thy slave if thou had just cooperated from the beginning."
She walked out of the room and into the hallway. Hoof prints made with blood covered the tiled floor. Anticipation filled Nightmare Moon with a sickening joy. She couldn't wait to show the ponies of Equestria her prize.
