Luna was shocked, seeing that her sister became an evil villainess. Solar Flare cackled loudly as the sun quickly rose into the brightening sky. The sun was very huge, and that was what they called a "supernova" sun. Perhaps the better name for the villainess would be Supernova Sun, since that kind of sun was sometimes seen as a foreboding omen in mythology and olden times. Not only are lunar eclipses in mythology and ancient times were foreboding, but sometimes there would be daylight horror, and not just nighttime terrors...

The ballroom was lighted up by the shining sun as Solar Flare turned her attention to Twilight. "Fool, you won't give in! Your foolish friends won't, either! That's why you're my prisoners! You shall be sealed in the strongest prisons in the land! From this day forth..." Solar Flare turned her attention to the growing crowd and guards before her. "The day will last forever!" She disappeared as the flames swirled around her, leaving the room in thick stifling smoke.

A cerulean light shone through the smoke like a beacon as Zelda came into view. She coughed loudly as she created a protective barrier around Link and Luna. She was also inside the barrier, so that she won't have to breathe in any more smoke. The smoke cleared up, and Twilight and her friends were gone! Just as the three heroes exited the castle, Solar Flare appeared and blocked their path. "I forgot something," She said.

"What do you want? What do you want to do with my friends?" Luna demanded. "Lower the sun, for goodness sake!"

"Never, Luna! Your loyalty to me, especially in my evil form, is unstoppable. Admit that you want to join me-"

"Never!"

"Don't make me hold you hostage!" Solar Flare lost her temper as her mane flickered around her hardened face.

"You will not hold me hostage! At least tell me where my student is!"

"No!" Solar Flare bellowed.

"Stop being so stubborn! Celestia..." Luna frowned for the second time.

"I'm not Celestia." Solar Flare did flinch at the name that Luna called her. "I'm Solar Flare..." Solar Flare stood tall, and Luna thought that this villainess could be taller than Nightmare Moon. She didn't want to show any fear, as Solar Flare would taunt her and pressure her even more.

Solar Flare snorted as she smirked at the smaller alicorn. "Coward... Remember, from this day forth, there will be no more night!" She told the night princess.

"I'm not scared," Luna spoke, intending to sound strong and serious, but her voice sounded soft and frightened instead.

"You're lying."

"No! I'm sure you came back to bully me and my friends!"

"Hahahaha! You're such a fool..." Solar Flare's laugh was cruel and wicked as her eyes narrowed even more.

"I'm not," Luna said. "Where did you take Twilight and the others? What other heinous actions would you do to the land?"

"You're not a cop. Why would you need to ask me, anyways? Just get lost in the land, you three! Hope you all die in the desert!"

Luna stood her ground as the barrier disappeared. The Elements of Harmony appeared above her, and Solar Flare simply chuckled. "You can't banish me to the sun," Solar Flare said. "It's impossible! You're disconnected from the Elements, remember?" She took the Elements with her magic, slammed them to the ground, and stomped her hooves on each gem with so much brawn strength.

The gems cracked into a million pieces, and Luna stood in shock. "No..." She breathed out.

"I still have power to banish you to the moon," Solar Flare concluded. "The moon shall never rise again!"

"It's no longer possible for my second banishment to happen," Luna admitted. "You won't banish me, because I'm not evil anymore. I'm good, unlike you!"

"Screw you! I'm the true queen of Equestria! Guards, imprison her and throw her into the dungeon."

The guards didn't listen, and tried to fight Solar Flare. Solar Flare groaned in frustration as she made the chains appear. She magically placed them onto Luna's legs, and chuckled evilly. "Why are you doing this to me?" Luna asked. "Don't do this when I did nothing wrong. I haven't done any more bad things ever since my redemption by the Elements of Harmony. This is just immoral..."

Solar Flare flinched visibly at the last word that Luna said as she summoned a spear. She swung the spear at Luna's head, and she fell unconscious because of the powerful impact. "Hmm... They may speak of power struggles, but they never see anything like this," She commented as she levitated Luna into the air.

"What are you doing to her?" Link demanded.

"She was going to help us," Zelda added in. "I could sense it, but now you made her useless."

"Useless?" Solar Flare remarked. "Oh. You're kidding, you're kidding, right?"

"I'm not even kidding!"

"But, she won't even fight me. She's too scared. Now she is my hostage and victim. I kidnapped her for a reason, fools..."

"Release her," Link ordered.

"No," Solar Flare refused.

"Luna doesn't deserve this," Zelda objected.

"Do you think you can forgive her even though she once became Nightmare Moon? You won't, apparently," Solar Flare sneered.

"We can forgive her. She's not evil," Link retorted.

"You waste too much of my time, fools. Now I must accomplish my goals! So long, cowards!" Solar Flare laughed evilly as she disappeared, along with the unconscious alicorn.

Zelda and Link ran to the train, and as they boarded the train, they felt the ground quaking beneath them. A bestial roar sounded through the skies as the land heated up to a boiling point. Canterlot Castle was partly destroyed by the solar alicorn's wrathfulness and violent power. To the citizens of Equestria, it was if a bombing happened during the gala and somehow caused their dear Princess Luna to disappear from sight.

A draconequus was sitting on one of the seats on the train. He was causing a bit of chaos, and the ponies were annoyed by him. "Discord, please," A passenger complained.

"Is he a threat?" Zelda asked loudly.

"He wasn't too bad, but can get quite annoying," A feminine voice said.

"Apparently we were late for the gala, because Celestia rose the sun too early," A masculine voice said.

"That doesn't make sense. What is this chatter about now?" Link asked in confusion.

"Oh, what fun is there in making sense?" Discord started.

"It's not boring to make sense," Zelda muttered with annoyance. "Tell us what's going on."

"Didn't you see that happen? I wasn't at the gala. The event was on the news," Discord challenged.

"Oh, Celestia went rogue and became Solar Flare. Then, she made Twilight and her friends disappear-" Zelda started.

"Something tells me that we could find them somewhere in each region of Equestria. Let's start with the Everfree, where Fluttershy could be," Discord interrupted as he snapped his fingers. Now, the three were in the forest, surrounded by eerie noises and shadows from the brightly shining sun.

"Okay, one minute we were on a train, next minute we were in the forest. How crazy," Link commented.

"If you want to save Luna, Twilight, and their beloved friends, then you must let me help you," Discord replied.

"By being chaotic and annoying? Not helping," Zelda said with a smug tone of voice as she smirked.

"Maybe he's right-" Link started.

"He's not. Let's ditch him-"

"Zelda! Are you gonna disagree with me-"

"Why isn't nobody letting me doing things my own way?" Zelda lost her temper.

"Calm down-" Link said.

"Shush!" Zelda placed a hoof to her mouth, and glared at him.

"Okay..."

"Silence!" Zelda leaped at Link and pinned him to the ground.

"No fighting," Discord interjected.

"Okay, fine," Zelda and Link said in unison.

Discord led them deeper into the forest, and they came towards an entrance to a cavern. The cavern seemed foreboding and eerie, as it was very dark in there with no light in it. The cave seemed like a huge mouth waiting to consume the group. "We're going in there? We couldn't even see in the dark," Link said.

"Oh, we're forgetting something," Discord replied. He snapped his fingers and summoned a torch. They went into the cave, and the light behind them soon became smaller with each step deeper into the darkness.

Link shivered as the coldness of the cave set in. Zelda looked around for any hints of danger, and smelled something icky. "Ugh! What is that stench?" She complained.

"I don't know," Link admitted.

"Could be a skunk," Discord said.

"Do you want to know what's so bad about skunks? They fart into your face and leave you with a stinky smell that won't be washed off so easily," Zelda remarked.

"Ew," Link agreed.

"Shh!" Zelda placed a hoof to her mouth as she heard a loud clash. A growl came along, and a pair of red eyes were staring at them from a distance. A few more pair of red eyes appeared, and tension ebbed around the group as the growl became very loud.

"They're probably wolves," Zelda said. "I expected to encounter something more thrilling."

"Thrilling, you say? Let's see about that," Discord replied as he snapped his fingers once again.

Here you go again, Zelda thought.

Meanwhile, Luna found herself in a damp and dark cell beneath the aged Castle of the Royal Sisters. She looked around, and gasped for a moment. "Didn't she banish me to the moon again?" She asked.

The flames flickered in front of the cell, and a malicious figure lighted up the dungeon. "Greetings, Luna…" Solar Flare crooned. "Hope you enjoy your new home."

"Solar Flare! How long do I have to put up with this?" Luna shouted.

"Forever."

"Let me out! Tell me a reason why you possessed my sister!"

"Oh, it's because she gave in."

"Are you kidding me?"

"Nope." When Solar Flare said 'nope,' the 'p' was very audible, and even Luna could hear it.

"Ugh! I'm not going to be your prisoner! At least tell me why you convinced Celestia to turn to the dark side! You're too selfish to release her… Too cowardly to tell me where my friends are, and too evil to even spare the Elements of Harmony, the useful artifacts that defeat any kind of villain!"

"Selfish? Cowardly? Evil? Is that how you view me?" Solar Flare's face contorted into a devious, malevolent smile as she chortled darkly.

"That's how a hero views a villain, anyways. You, like the forces of darkness, never knew of love, light, and friendship! You only knew hate, darkness, and enmity. You only knew wickedness and malevolence! That's why you twisted my sister's view on the world and herself!"

"How 'wise,' fool. You think you know everything, right? No! I know everything, because I AM THE ALL-KNOWING GODDESS OF THE SUN!"

Solar Flare's loud tone of voice shook the dungeon and the castle above the cell. "You'll never see your friends, subjects, or the night again!" She taunted.

Solar Flare disappeared into thin air, leaving Luna in the darkness once again. For some reason, she felt depowered and weakened. She attempted to cast a spell on the chains, and nothing happened. Did Solar Flare just steal all the magic and strength from her? Luna huffed with anger as she thought of the possibility. Her sister couldn't have betrayed her just to become Solar Flare, right? Maybe Solar Flare was right… Luna was betrayed by her own sister! "Tia!" She hollered. "You did this to me by becoming Solar Flare!"

Luna sobbed as she placed her head onto the cold stone floor. Her wings concealed her whole face as tears flowed freely from her saddened eyes. Soon, she found that her body changed, too. She wasn't a gorgeous shade of midnight blue anymore… Her coat was the color of lilac, and her mane was light blue. Her mane was no longer wavy and sparkling. Her mane was still as a statue as she shook with each sob.

Dust filled her lungs, and she coughed loudly. She looked up, and found that her dark self, Nightmare Moon, was standing close to her. "We meet again," Nightmare said.

"What?" Luna asked, confused. "I thought you were defeated.

"Alas, Luna, nightmares never die!"

"I can't team up with Solar Flare."

"Celestia betrayed you again, so let's team up and-"

"Go away!" Luna turned her head to the window and tried to ignore Nightmare.

"You fool… Solar Flare was my sister, so I must team up with her to help conquer the whole kingdom!" Nightmare retorted.

"Stop!"

Luna whirled around, and stared into Nightmare's eyes. "I said, go away!" She continued.

"Never," Nightmare objected.

"GO AWAY, FIEND!"

Luna leaped at Nightmare Moon, and allowed her horn to jab Nightmare's neck. Nightmare Moon disappeared into thin air, and Luna heaved with a sigh of relief.
