Luna's P.O.V

We are near the palace, and I look at the Earth for a second. It seems that there is an imbalance on that planet because of eternal day. "The palace is so huge," Twilight said.

"This isn't as colorful," Pinkie said.

"I'm sure that we'll be safe up here," I replied.

"What do we do here now?" Rarity asked.

"I say we prepare for war. Only the most skilled soldiers are here so that we train more. We will begin fighting against the Solar Empire tomorrow morning. The war may take a few days or more," I replied.

Apple Jack approaches a garden in the left of the courtyard. "This is surprisingly fertile," She commented.

A woman about a year younger than Apple Jack approaches us. She is blond, with pastel blue highlights in her hair. Her hair reaches her shoulders, and is worn in a low ponytail. Her eyes are lilac-colored, and her skin is light tan. Her nose is straight, and her lips are a bit thin.

She has a bit of a scar on her bottom of her lip, and another scar on her left shoulder. "So, what question do you have for me?" I asked.

"I'm not sure, actually. What are the Elements of Harmony?" She replied.

"The Elements are six gems that are used to banish evil. Twilight Sparkle and her friends used them to defeat Discord and to defeat Tirek. There is a new member of that group because Rainbow Dash has betrayed us. There's still a need for a sixth member."

"What Elements do Twilight and her friends hold?"

"Twilight is the Element of Magic, Apple Jack is the Element of Honesty, Rarity is the Element of Generosity, and Pinkie is the Element of Laughter. Silent Night has inherited Loyalty, but still... There's not a potential candidate for the Element of Kindness ever since Fluttershy died in the bombing."

"Oh, well. My name's Butterfly- and I love animals. If you want to know why I have scars, they are from a Solar Guard's attack on me. I did defend myself though."

I notice that she has a monarch butterfly on her t-shirt. It is a cutie mark that tells of her personality. There are pink and yellow flowers surrounding the butterfly. She has a pastel pink skirt that reaches the bottom of her knees. She sort of dresses like a teenager.

"I have a question- how do I get the Element of Kindness?" Butterfly asked.

"You get the Element if you act kind to others," I replied.

"I try to act kind sometimes, but when my temper flares up, it's a different story."

"Don't worry about that. We all have to try our best to be kind."

Silent Night takes off her cloak, and some people who are around her have mixed reactions- the first reaction is fear- but she's not evil. The people should get educated about this woman. Butterfly slowly approaches her. "Um... Hey," She said quietly.

"Hi there," Silent Night replied.

"Are you... A part of the Lunar Guard?"

"Of course, but I have been given the Element of Loyalty so that I can finally fight evil."

"They use the Elements to banish evil, though."

"Yeah. So, how are you doing lately?"

"I'm okay. My name's Butterfly."

"That's a cute name. My name's Silent Night."

They continue speaking as the Lunar Guards and the followers of the New Lunar Republic practice fighting and such. Twilight is practicing her magic using a spell book. She will use magic as a weapon, like before when she has to stop villains like Tirek and Discord. Cadence did stop Sombra when Twilight got surrounded by crystals, though.

Cadence's P.O.V

The moon quickly lowers as the sun starts to rise. Skyla hasn't been getting enough sleep, and she is really afraid. Shining Armor is being taken by the guards as Celestia approaches me. "Look at how unfortunate you are," Celestia remarked, "You don't deserve to rule the Crystal Empire. Your castle has also been bombed. Your people are either executed or imprisoned."

"No, no... This can't be true," I replied, "Why have you turned against your kingdom? What do you even want from all of us?!"

"I only need the glory that is taken by my annoying little sister. Many people praise her as 'best princess' and that is what bothers me about her. I'm tired of living in her shadow, and also Twilight is widely recognized. If I ever see them again, then they shall suffer a horrendous death!"

"You monster! How dare you try to hurt Twilight?! At least she's safe with Luna anyways. Are you taking Skyla too?!"

"Like I even care about your family, man-whore."

"I'm not like that! And be cautious when cussing around little children! Skyla could pick up on the bad words."

"Shut up, Cadence. I'll execute Shining Armor with my powers."

It's hard to imagine how much harm she could do to Shining, now that she's more powerful in magic than she was before. She could turn him to ashes. Celestia walks out of the dungeon, leaving me and Skyla alone. Skyla is no longer asleep- she seems a lot more terrified. "Who was that fiery person?" She asked.

"That is Celestia. She turned to a tyrant because she wouldn't appreciate potential usurpers. She would either murder the potential 'usurpers' or banish them to the moon, or even banish them to the dungeon. She sometimes allows for the executioners to execute the innocent victims that try to overthrow her," I explained.

Normal P.O.V

Shining Armor is taken into the public area as the people surround him. He is chained, and Celestia approaches him. "Stone him," She commanded, "And then I shall burn him."

The people throw the biggest rocks possible at Shining Armor, and Shining winces in pain as the stoning lasts for a few minutes. Bruises are all over him as he inches closer to his demise. "Any last words?" Celestia remarked as she activates her staff.

"Tell my wife and my daughter that I love them. And tell Twilight that I love her too..." Shining Armor whispered.

Celestia shoots a fiery beam at Shining, and then the former captain of the guard screams even more because of the dangerous flames. "Where did you think Twilight has gone?" Rainbow Dash asked, "I couldn't find them."

"So you don't want to go to outer space at all?! What are you, afraid of losing your breath?! Why, I shall have you stripped of your title and have you executed," Celestia replied, "Guards, cut her limbs into pieces!"

The guards take hold of Rainbow's arms as she struggles to get out of their grip. A really strong guard kicks Rainbow Dash hard in her spine, causing her to collapse to the ground. And then a swordsman appears- and cuts off her wings. Rainbow starts bleeding profusely, losing about eighty percent of her blood. She goes into shock as her eyes close.

The swordsman proceeds to cut off Rainbow's arms and legs, and there is a lot of blood splattered on the ground as a result. Her spirit escapes the decapitated body that has once belonged to her, and her soul disappears through the ground, meaning that she will forever be punished for betraying the good side.

Celestia points her staff at the strongest guard. "You are now Captain of the Guard," She announced.

Twilight's P.O.V

After training for a very long time, we all enter the palace to rest for a while. "I'm not sure what to do without Rainbow Dash," Scootaloo said.

"You're fine without her. She turned her back on us, that's all. She almost sent me to get executed," I replied.

"You sound bitter when you talk about her."

"Because of what she did! She should regret it!"

"Alright. No need to really lose it about her betrayal."

I sigh in response as she walks upstairs. Why does she still like Rainbow Dash, even though her idol kicked her out of the home? I walk into a room with a light purple bed. There is a candle on the nightstand. I must admit, the interior is a bit spooky- but most of the ones loyal to the Night will get used to the spookiness of this place.

I slump into the bed, and it is surprisingly as soft as a dreamy cloud. It is silky all over, and even the mattress is comfortable. I fall asleep immediately, and then I enter a dream...

Celestia uses her powers to burn Shining Armor to pieces, and then my brother dies as a result. The next victim is Rainbow Dash- but she doesn't really ask for a deadly execution. A swordsman cuts her into pieces, and the ground is extremely splattered with blood. The scene switches to a coffin, with Scootaloo crying. Even Cadence and Skyla are crying.

"No! This can't be true!" I exclaimed.

The scene switches to when Celestia is completely finished with her transformation. "I am now Solar Flare! Prepare for endless day and endless heat!" She exclaimed.

The Elements then activate themselves, and the next thing I know, I see a figure on the sun as the sun sets. "Fate has been cruel, and order unkind..." A voice sang.

I gasp as I wake from the dream. I start crying real hard, and I wouldn't stop. What if the events in the dream are actually true? I hear the doors open, and Luna rushes into the room with a concerned expression on her face. "I just has the most terrible dream with so many deaths happening, and at the end when Celestia is banished to the sun, I heard someone singing a sad song," I said.

"So, it's more of a prophetic dream than a nightmare, Twilight. And that song you told me about is the sad separation song that Celestia once sang to me in my exile. I've also seen Scootaloo's dream- and it's similar to yours," She replied.

"Separation song?"

"Yes. We may sing that song after banishing Celestia to the sun."

"My brother could have been dead by now..." I continue to sob as I think about the events in my dream.

Luna places her arms around me. "Shh, shh..." She whispered.

I cry into her chest. "Why does my brother have to die?" I asked, "And why did Rainbow Dash have to suffer a cruel fate after betraying me and my friends?"

"I know how much you care about them. I couldn't imagine how it must have felt," She said, "I have remembered a song from my childhood... A song that my sister used to sing to me when I couldn't sleep or when I had a bad dream."

"Okay."

"Go to sleep, rest upon your bed... The moon has said good-night... Dream all your fears away and fly across the moonlit skies... Don't you fear, and don't you cry, for I will always be right here, by your side...Always know that you are secure... Dream sweet dreams of peace and kindness, count the stars in the night sky, and sleep..." Luna sang.

I fall asleep as a result. I can still feel Luna's comforting embrace as she finishes the lullaby.
