Look I don't have much time, but the fate of Equestria lies in what your about to read.
Does it really....
No, I just wanted to get your attention.
I do however, possess the power to destroy all of the life in the universe, so I would pay attention now if I were you.
Let me start off with who I am, what I do, and when this started.
But one warning,
When you begin to read this, You need to watch your back. I'm being cased by the world's most dangerous cult of villians, and they will do whatever is in their power to stop this from being spread. Mainly by killing me and you, the reader.
You've be warned.
My name is Nebula, and I'm the one trying to save the world.
Im sixteen, and until a few weeks ago I was a transfer student for the Canterlot College for the Gifted.
Am I gifted?
Yeah pretty much.
I could start anywhere in my life to prove it. But my “adventure” truly started when we went to Manehattan on December nineteenth on a bus chariot with twenty-five gifted teens and a few adults to visit the Museum of the Lunar Republic to study the war.
Sounds interesting- I know most of the trips we took were.
Especially since Princess Celestia herself was our teacher.
Yeah, that Princess Celestia, you know the tall, white, alicorn that rules all of Equestria and is over a thousand years old, and the sun is her cutie mark. Yeah her.
Right now you must be wondering,
“Why her and not Princess Luna, it would seem more fitting.” Well Celestia thought it was only right for her to show us "gifted" children instead of Luna.
Why? Because Luna was still on the moon.
I wasn't complaining though, I like Celestia. So I thought this would be the best field trip yet and nothing overly weird would happen.
Shit I was off by a mile.
See, weird things happen to me on field trips and usually someone dies. Take last year for example. We went to the exact same cave Jesus was resurrected from. I was the only one in the cave and it caved in. I had no wait out, so I sat there for at least three hours when they managed to blow the rocks up, and the explosion managed to kill a few students
The year before that,we were on a cruise and we somehow managed to sail right into the midst of the Bermuda Triangle. We were soon covered with fog and it was to thick for us to see what was in front of our faces. We were later attacked by sea monsters and a few of us barely made it out alive. There were only fifteen of us beforehand and then there were seven of us.
The year before that...... Well you got the point.
This year I promised myself I wouldnt get anyone killed.
The whole time on the bus. I was talking to a friend of mine named Sunkiss. A white mare with a red and blue mane, and she is also an alicorn and is the daughter of Princess Celestia. So that's why I like Celestia. I like her daughter.
Sunkiss, if anything, was my marefriend, and to the point of me being jealous, was the one with the top scores in the class with me being second and her brother, Nightwing, having the third highest.
Nightwing was my best friend and he of course is the one reason I am dating his sister. He,like his sister and his mom, is an alicorn, but like his name, he isnt white. He's as dark as nigh,and at first sight of him, you might think hes Luna's son. But he's not.
I met them both eight years ago when I was in Canterlot because my mom wanted to go shopping there. I asked her if we could go to the park. Since she could never refuse my pleas she said yes and we went. Sunkiss and Nightwing were there, being bullied by one of those playground bullies you see everyday at the playground. I told him to stop, he didnt, so I beat him up, and that's how I met those two.
Anyway lets get back to the story. Shall we?
I was talking with Sunkiss about the war, when Equestria's biggest douche sat between me and her and began talking to her.
“Hey baby,” he said to her,wrapping his leg around her's “Why are you sitting with this loser and not with me?”
“Go away Nex.” She told him, getting out of his grip, “I'm not with you no more, I'm with Nebula.” I could tell she was getting ready to punch him in the face.
“Awwww don't be like that, you know you still love me.”
“Nex, get away from her.” I told him calmly
He sneered, “Oh what are you going to do about it.”
I'm gonna rip off your horn, and shove it so far up your ass you'll be tasting it... Woah where did that come from. That definitely wasn't me thinking that...
“Go away Nex.” I told him, My voice dangerously calm, its only like that when I'm extremely pissed or angry
“Fine then colt cuddler ” he stood up. “Sunkiss, If you want a real stallion, come find me.” He finally walked off.
“I hate that guy,”I muttered to myself, “I wish I could just beat him up.”
“Nebula, you know you can't,” I heard Nightwing say, but it didn't register. I was still thinking of that voice in my head, wanting me to rip off his horn,
I didnt think about it to much, but I was imagining myself beating up Nex.
Not knowing I'll soon get the chance.
Authors Note.

Princess Celestia led us around the museum, telling us some interesting facts about the statues and pictures.
She stopped in front of a glass case that had a sign on it that read: Lunar Armor
She told us that this was the equipment the Lunar Republic soldiers wore, Steel that was dark black and was outlined with obsidian which protected all of the body except the neck area,
It blew my mind that they lost with that.
She then led us to a painting the size of an outhouse which showed Princess Luna signing some treaty. Which one I don't know because everypony was talking and when I told them to shut the hell up, I get the death stare from the other chaperone/teacher Mr. Sunny.
Mr. Sunny was this big,buff dude who you would mistake for a serial killer, He was actually just a gym teacher from Appleousa who just plain scared me. He looked evil enough to force you to climb for your life on the rope climb (trust me I speak from experience.)
He also had a scar below his eye going down to his chin, From what he tells us he got it from stopping some pony from robbing Canterlot bank. I started the rumor that he got it from robbing the bank.
From his first day on the job, Mr. Sunny made Nex his right-hand man and made me his punching bag (not literally of course)
He made me do stuff like take out the trash, clean the basketball court, and clean the bathrooms which were all his jobs.
ANYWAY, lets get back on track.
Princess Celestia gave us her fifth speech on the war which no one was really listening to. Well except me. Then Nex murmured something about the picture of the war pony getting his face blown off and I stated,"Will you just shut the fuck up!"
That came out louder than the Royal Canterlot voice.
The whole grouped looked at me, Nex stifled a laugh, and Princess Celestia stopped her story and said," Mr. Nebula. Do you have something to say?"
I stepped backwards and drooped my head to the ground,"No Ma'am."
Celestia pointed to a small statue on a podium, "Maybe you can tell us who this statue is?"
I looked at the statue and felt relief coming into my body because I knew what it was. "That's the general of the Griffon Kingdom."
Celestia looked somewhat happy and smiled,"Why is he so important in the Lunar Republic War."
"Because he came to help your sister," I replied to her, feeling very smart.
"Why?"
"Ummmm." Brainfart. I remembered being told this a number of times by Sunkiss but I usually wasn't listening to her because I was doing something important. Yeah great boyfriend I know. "I dont remember Princess."
"He did it because he was tired of your rule princess." Somepony in the back said. I turned and it was Nex. "He was tired of an alicorn ruling the whole planet, and he compromised with Luna to let him rule part time if he won."
How the fuck does he know this? >=O
"Well thank you Nex." Princess Celestia said, just as shocked as me and the rest of the class. She then turned to Mr. Sunny who looked happy because of Nex's once in a lifetime intelligent moment. "Mr. Sunny will you please lead us outside for Lunch?"
He grunted and we all followed behind. I took a moment to see Celestia stay back and talk with the museum curator. She saw me and waved. I did the nice thing and waved back. Not knowing this will be the last time i see her in a long time.
We all walked outside, It was a sunny day with the sun shining, the birds singing and the chariots passing slowly by. Me, Sunkiss, and Nightwing walked trotted down the steps of the museum looking for a place to eat.
"Let's go eat at Baco Tell," I said and they agreed and followed me.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw two figures walk down a alley way and noticed that it was Nex and Mr. Sunny.
The first thing that came to my mind. Where the Hell are they going?
I turned to my friends, who were discussing on what they were going to get,"Go on without me, There's something I need to check out."
They both looked confused but thank Celestia, Nightwing caught on that it was important."Oh sure Nebula," He looked at his sister,"Come on sis,"
As those two walked away, I slowly walked toward the alleyway , but didn't see them.
So i did the most stupidest thing I will ever do on this planet. I walked in.
I walked in and trotted for minutes that seemed like hours. It was your usual alley way, the smell, the garbage, the hobos, and the occasional mugger who followed you if you looked at him funny.
I was about to turn around when I heard them talking, "Is it him Darius?" said a voice that sounded like Nex.
"Yes it must be, the signs have been showing, and the deaths that surround him are no coincidence." replied another voice that sounded like Mr. Sunny. Ok so Mr. Sunny's first name is Darius.
"Then you two know what you must do?" said another voice of whose i dont know.
"yes master," said Nex and Darius in unision.
Then the last thing I remember is a hoof colliding with my face.
All i felt was pain, all I could see was black, the black that young foals are afraid of at night. The black that a monster lurks in.
Then there was light.
"Agghh," I groaned, the light that was shining in my face was as bright as the sun, It took a bit for my eyes to get used to,
When I finally could see, What I saw surprisingly didn't surprise me.
I was in a box shaped room with a door only being the only way in or out, There was a huge mirror on the wall and there was a table in front of me. I was in a interrogation room.
I tried to get up, but I was tied down in the chair I was sitting in. The rope was tightly wrapped around my front hooves which were tied behind my back. My back hooves were tied down to the chair legs. So i wasn't going anywhere.
I sat in the room with only the light shining in my face when the door opened and a big gray earth pony walked in.
"Hello Darius, pleasure seeing you here," i said in a voice that even Sheldon from Big Bang Theory could tell was sarcasm.
"Hello Nebula." He said to me, then walked up and hoofed me in the face. "You will listen and cooperate with us or..."
On cue, the door opened up again and showed A black unicorn holding a knife to a girl's throat. Sunkiss's throat.
"Your marefriend dies."
