Twilight's P.O.V

I am taken to Canterlot, and Princess Celestia sits upon her throne. She is holding the fiery staff that has the same emblem like her cutie mark. "Why do you question my authority?!" She demanded, "That is why you're here! To answer my questions! Was my sister brainwashing you?!"

"Calm down, Celestia! Luna is not evil. She allowed me to know of what is going on," I replied calmly.

Rainbow Dash hurts my back using her whip. I scream in pain, and then I turn my attention to Luna. Luna is watching the scene unfold, but she has a look of sympathy on her face. "Explain or you'll suffer!" Celestia demanded, "Open up already!"

"Celestia... Let me put this. I know you want them to work harder, but isn't that too harsh? If the day and the summer lasts forever, then there will be global warming and global warming... And not to mention the increase in people getting heatstroke. Luna and I care for the people... But you no longer show any remorse or care for the people," I answered as I try to refrain from crying.

"Do you really expect someone to save you now?! Ha. If Luna saves you, then you're both going to the moon and stay there... FOREVER!"

"That will not happen!"

"You must also lower the sun, Celestia! It is your duty to do so," Luna told her sister.

"I will never! I won't stand idly while some of the people seem to love the night so much more! I shall take back all of the glory! And all of the stars shall disappear from your night." Celestia retorted, "A solar eclipse shall commence soon! That's how I steal all of the glory!"

"Celestia, stop! We will not fight you, but we must rise up against you! You are taking the rule too far. The people even died because of the heat and some executions!"

Rainbow Dash hurts me with the whip ten more times, and I wince in pain. "Stop," I said, "Explain why you turned against your friends!"

Rainbow Dash whirls me around so that I can face her. She gives me an angry, yet devious glare as she starts to speak. "Because your friends hate the day and love the night more! That's what Celestia knows! I will forever be loyal to her, as I said many, many times! My father is once in the Royal Guard, but died. I'm following his path, and I am required to capture all the rebels- like your friends, for example! I can't even stand the sight of the night princess anyways," She said.

"You dare betray us because of that?! Your undying loyalty to the sun princess? Why do you have to be so mean?"

"How dare you question Celestia's guards! I'm the Captain of the Solar Guard now that Shining is imprisoned, along with Cadence and little Skyla."

"No... I couldn't believe that you would want to see them imprisoned! And why do you leave Scootaloo homeless?!"

"Scootaloo is so clingy. And your brother really disagrees with Celestia's laws!"

I try to push her away, but her grip is really strong. A hooded figure enters the throne room, and takes hold of Rainbow's arm. "Who are you?!" Rainbow demanded.

"I am the Captain of the Lunar Guard. I believe that you are trying to punish an innocent victim that is a friend of my princess. My name is... Silent Night," The hooded figure said as a hand pushes back the hood.

It is a woman about Rainbow's age, with long raven locks that is tied in a ponytail. Her skin is extremely pale, and she has violet eyes with a hint of crimson around the iris and the pupil. "Ever since Luna is released from Nightmare Moon, I have signed up for the Lunar Guard," She said, "And then I started training for a while to become stronger and more stoic."

She turns to me, and gives me a stoic expression. "I'm sorry about her behavior towards you, young woman. Well, I have heard some rumors about you as well. Let me release you from the chains," She said.

I wonder if she has bat wings like the rest of the Lunar Guards. She has a distinct scar on her left cheek, and her nose is straight. Her lips are super thin from maybe constant scowling. She takes the chains off of my wrist, and smiles faintly at me. "I will defend you from her- I am assigned to defend you for a while until the war ends," She concluded.

"I have magic," I replied.

"I'm sure you did."

Rainbow Dash places her arm around Silent's neck, and Silent pounds Rainbow with her bare fists a few times. She then moves Rainbow's arm from her neck, and whirls around. Her cloak falls off, revealing the rest of her body. She has black armor with a moon emblem on the chestplate. She twists Rainbow's arm, and Rainbow Dash is then shoved to the floor.

Silent Night's wings open up for a second. She may seem aggressive, but is pretty loyal to the ones that she cares about. Silent Night turns to me once more, and holds up her spear. "Don't forget your cloak," Luna told her, "The sun may cause you to burn up."

"I won't," Silent replied as she places the cloak back onto her body. She covers her whole face with the hood. She seems more mysterious with the hood on.

I notice that there is also a moon emblem on the back of the cloak. "Come with us. Let's not forget Apple Jack, Pinkie, and Rarity," Luna told me as she holds up her staff.

We all fly out of the castle, leaving Rainbow Dash with the Solar Guards. We once again enter my house in Ponyville. Luna places her hands onto my affected back, and her magic touches my skin for a second. The pain starts to leave as a result of the healing spell. "Who knows what Celestia may have done to you," Rarity said, "And who's the hooded figure?"

"That is Silent Night. She's the Lunar Guard, and she's also Captain. She is tough, but can be sweet sometimes," Luna told Rarity.

"That explains her mysteriousness," Apple Jack said.

"She seems somber," Pinkie said.

"Although, I am stoic," Silent Night said.

Luna finishes the healing spell, and I walk upstairs to find my Element of Magic. I place the Element onto my head as I walk downstairs. "Anybody else has the Elements of Harmony?" I asked.

"Yes," Apple Jack, Pinkie, and Rarity said in unison.

"Rainbow Dash is no longer loyal to us. And Fluttershy has died, making her no longer connected to the Element of Kindness. Rainbow Dash is no longer connected to the Element of Loyalty," Luna said, "The next ones who shall use them... Will be the next chosen ones. It is that I shall lend the Elements to the ones who will be loyal to the New Lunar Republic."

She places the Element of Loyalty into Silent Night's left hand, and the magic envelops the Element as a result. It seems to be changing shape. Now it has transformed into the shape of a full moon. "I am the Chosen One? After months of being loyal, you have chosen me to become one of the heroes?" Silent asked.

"Be warned, for they may not accept you as a new hero at first. They may slowly adjust as the years begin to pass," Luna replied.

"Who will use the Element of Kindness, now that Flutters is gone?" Apple Jack asked.

"We may find someone who is very kind," I said.

"We start the revolution now," Luna suggested.

We walk out of my house as the sun slowly sets. The blazing heat is still there, and even being up to five hours outside in the heat will bother me and my friends. The Lunar Guards appear, along with some people who will be loyal to the night.

"We shall form the New Lunar Republic and go against the malevolent Solar Empire! Who is up for the upcoming war?" Luna announced.

The crowd cheers as they hear Luna's words. They take out various types of weapons, and they shout "New Lunar Republic" many times.

A minute later, three girls approach us. "It's not the same without Rainbow Dash," Scootaloo said.

"I cannot believe how many of our crops have suffered from too much heat and never any adequate rain," Apple Bloom said.

"It's too hot to play outside during most recesses," Sweetie Belle added in, "Thankfully school has finally ended. It's really tiring, even the ground seems like a good place to sleep."

"Well, don't sleep on the ground," Luna replied, "I know of a place where we can get enough sleep."

"Where?" Scootaloo asked.

"I have built a palace on the moon long ago during my exile. There is even a huge garden in the fertile area that is near the palace," Luna replied, "Even though we may not get enough sun for a while, we can still use alarm clocks. There's oxygen on the moon."

"Will there still be some education?" Apple Bloom asked.

"Of course, Apple Bloom. There's so many rooms and ten dining rooms in the palace," Luna answered.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders are thirteen. Rarity is twenty-five, the same age as Apple Jack. Pinkie is twenty-three. If Fluttershy is still alive, she would have been twenty-four. I believe Rainbow Dash is about the same age as Fluttershy.

I still don't understand an immortal's age equivalent, though. As the girls continue to ask Luna questions about the moon, we notice the Solar Guards approaching us, especially the people that are loyal to the sun princess. Celestia is flying in the air, and some parts of her hair has turned to fiery colors. She has a slightly evil grin on her face.

"Celestia! How do you know that we're starting a rebellion?" Luna asked.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders hide behind me and Luna as Celestia starts to speak. "I won't stand idly while the people begin to miss your so-called 'glorious' night! There is only one princess in Equestria, and that princess..." Celestia shouted.

"Celestia, you can't be kidding!" Luna said as she rises the moon, "Lower the sun!"

"That princess shall be me," Celestia finished as she causes a solar eclipse. The bright light envelops her as she seems to be transforming.

"I wonder if she's going to get a few feet taller than Nightmare Moon because of the transformation," I told Luna.

"Don't be intimidated, Twilight. Have courage," Luna replied.

The bright light seems to blind some people, and as Celestia finishes her transformation, she has a different appearance and height. Her hair is really fiery like the raging flames, and her eyes glow bright red. She wears a helmet that covers some of her face, and only her eyes and mouth are seen.

Her dress is now fiery red, and it has some flames on the back of her dress. Her staff is more fiery than it used to be. The Lunar Guards point their spears and guns at Celestia as she lands onto the ground. She is three feet taller than Nightmare Moon, it seems.

"C-Celestia!" I shouted in fear, "You're more intimidating than Nightmare Moon."

"Because I have more flames than she does," A voice that is not hers comes out of her mouth, "I have been a part of Celestia as long as you all remember. Unfortunately, Nightmare Moon has been separated from Luna, because of the Elements of Harmony! You shall never see the night again!"

"That's not what you would have said," Luna said, "It's like someone else has taken control of you. Celestia, reconsider your actions."

"Okay, I'm off topic. If you ever rebel against my rule, then you shall be on the moon forever! I wouldn't even let you return. Guards, get them!"

Luna quickly uses her staff to teleport us, and now we are on the moon.
