Celestia's Duel With Evil Part 2

A/N Before I begin, I want to answer a question 'Space Trooper' asked on one of my stories called "Star Wars: The Battle Of Equestria".

The reason I've put "The Dark Side Of Magic" on hold is because of all the negative reviews I got on the latest chapter.

I decided to keep it on hold until I have a better understanding of what to do with the characters so people won't get pissed off more.

You are welcome to send suggestions by PM to me, saying your ideas. Now then, with that out of the way, let's continue the story. A/N

"Oh Tia, I just hope you are alright! I don't want to lose you big sister, NOT NOW!" Luna shouted as she buried her head in her sister's chest, sobbing her eyes out.

"Luna...we came just as you said" Twilight said, startling Luna.

"Oh thank the stars you've arrived, my sister is feeling incredibly unwell but I don't know the cause of it" Luna explained.

"Don't worry princess, we'll find a way to make your sister smile again" Pinkie said cheerfully.

"Let me check her aura, we have to be sure something hasn't taken control of her mind" Twilight said as she used her magic to check Celestia's aura.

It wasn't good, Celestia's golden aura was slowly being taken over by a dark aura that looked familiar. Twilight was shocked by this and switched off her aura checker.

"Princess Luna, your sister's aura is slowly being taken over by some kind of dark power that looks familiar" Twilight explained to the princess of the night.

"*Gasp* No, this can't be possible. You've destroyed my dark self back at the night of the Summer Sun Celebration" Luna said as the rest of the group gasped at this news.

"We've got to do something to help her. Quickly my friends, we must collect the elements of harmony" Luna said as they all rushed off to the armoury.

Celestia was trotting over to a platform that looked over a giant chasam. She wondered if this place was a figment of her mind or Nightmare's. As she trotted back into the corridor, Nightmare jumped in out of the left side and aggressively attacked Celestia, who just barely had enough time to engage her lightsaber horn.

She was being pushed back at an alarming rate, Nightmare had certainly gained some strength over the past few minutes. She was then pushed over by Nightmare, who had now pointed his lightsaber at her muzzle.

"You are beaten, it is useless to resist. Don't let yourself be destroyed as Luna nearly did" Nightmare taunted to Celestia, who then knocked the lightsaber out of the way so she could roll out of the way of Nightmare's attack.

Celestia began to fight back, using her new bound strength to aggressively attack Nightmare. He took a hit on his shoulder armour but continued his duel with Celestia. Just before Nightmare could chop off Celestia's wing, she flew over him and into the corridor again.

"You are indeed strong Celestia, but even the strongest of minds cannot hold up against me for long" Nightmare taunted again.

"You're forgetting that I am the goddess of the sun, the bringer of light...and I will extinguish you" Celestia said defiantly.

"Perhaps a change of scenery will make things more interesting for us" Nightmare said as the environment they were in changed.

Nightmare had changed the location from the platform in Cloud City on Bespin to the Second Death Star Throne Room over the planet Endor. Celestia was slightly shaken by the sudden change but then regained her position and began attacking Nightmare again.

"Okay here are the elements of harmony, now let's go and stop whatever is hurting my sister" Luna said as they all galloped back to Celestia's room.

They all entered her room and were shocked by what they saw. Celestia's coat was starting to turn, dangerously, into a shade of black. Twilight and Luna knew this was a sign of Nightmare trying to turn Celestia into a monster just like it did with Luna a few nights ago.

"We haven't got much time Luna, we need to use the elements now" Twilight said as they all gathered around in a circle, surrounding Celestia's bed.

They all begin to power up her elements but before they could do that, they suddenly turned off. Twilight was unsure why this was happening but Luna had some understanding of what was going on.

"There must be some kind of duel going on inside my sister's mind and Nightmare is blocking off all attempts to help her. We can't do anything while this is happening. We will have to wait until my sister can somehow break the barrier...or lose herself" Luna explained.

Twilight and her friends couldn't believed it, they wanted to help Luna's sister & Twilight's teacher and all they could do was watch from the sidelines until the right moment. Luna was upset by this to but she knew there was no way to assist her until the right moment, just like when Twilight and her friends were in a desperate situation with Nightmare Moon earlier.

Nightmare was laughing away while fighting Celestia, who was wondering why he was laughing.

"I'm sorry my dear princess but I can't let your friends interrupt our little game while were having so much fun" Nightmare said as Celestia was shocked by this news.

Luna, Twilight and her friends were trying to assist her but they couldn't get past the barrier that is keeping them from helping. Celestia was angered by and continued her attack on Nightmare, swinging her lightsaber horn more and more furiously.

"Oh what's the matter Celestia, getting angry. That's good because it feeds me more and more. How about I do something else to make you mad" Nightmare said as he swung past Celestia's lightsaber horn and chopped off one of her wings.

There was no blood coming out because the lightsaber, due to it's intense heat, sealed off her wound...but that doesn't she wasn't in extreme pain from the loss of her wing. Celestia wondered if she could put up her resistance for much longer. She then realised that her sister, Twilight and her friends were fighting for her and this gave her more confidence in fighting Nightmare.

"Nightmare, this is it, it's either you...or me" Celestia said defiantly but a little weaker since she was in extreme pain.

"Ah good, I always wanted to play around with you some more before we finished. Let's begin" Nightmare said as he and Celestia's lightsabers locked together.
