Chapter 3

A/N

Finally got round to doing this!

CELESTIA POV

"Ready the guards, Captain Shining Armour. We leave to my old castle in the Everfree Forest to take down Nightmare Moon ourselves. But Shining, I must warn you, your sister, Twilight, has joined Nightmare, are you still willing to fight?" I asked my Captain.

"Anything for you, Princess Celestia," He said, but I noticed his hesitation.

"Good, gather up all your men, let's make this quick." I finished.

"Yes Princess Celestia," He said and briskly walked out of the room, I leaned back on my throne before getting up and finding my battle armour.

NIGHTMARE MOON POV

I called for the Nightmare Forces to come to me, and they did, my armies of darkness, my two students and the changelings, we were sure to win against Celestia and her pathetic guards. I had another plan though, another ally to help in my conquest.

It was rather easy to break Rarity onto my side, after discovering her 'friends' sabotages to stop her from leaving Ponyville, she turned to our side rather quickly.

Twilight was a different matter. She did want to be like me, but her love for Celestia was slowing her. My fiendish sister, who has been brainwashing Equestria for hundreds of years. She would no doubt come, to fight me and attempt to defeat me. But not this time. Without the Elements Of Harmony, she is powerless to stop me and the night will triumph against her.

Twilight and Rarity were in the sparring room, being trained in hoof to hoof combat by Chryssie's toughest warriors. I was teaching them offensive magic along with a few lessons with Chryssie.

Chryssie and I were very old friends. When I first ruled, we conquered most of Equus together and she helped me forge the 10 hidden nightmare weapons. The nightmare weapons are each unique and designed to be able to kill immortals. They were only ever used once against Celestia, and now they are lost throughout all of Equus. Rumour has it that a powerful Diamond Dog clan have one, and Emperor Hajj of the Griffin Empire has a few, along with Minotauria and Saddle Arabia. Celestia probably had a few as well.

I needed to find them, I needed allies. Sure, the changelings are good allies but if I can get my hooves on the nightmare weapons, nopony will stop me.

Twilight and Rarity walked in,

"Moon, when will we overthrow Equestria?" Twilight asked me, my recently corrupted student looking up at me with curious eyes,

"Soon my students, soon," I said and Rarity said,

"I can sense Celestia and her army is coming soon, I believe it's time to call for the changelings."

"As can I," Twilight said.

"My students, I do not believe you are ready to go up against your 'friends' quite yet, oh, and Twilight, you didn't actually kill Pinkie Pie, you killed a cloned version of her whilst the real one was teleported back to her home by myself," I told them, they were clearly disappointed.

"But, since I'm a good teacher, I'm willing to let you fight as long as you don't jump sides," I finished, they quickly cheered up.

"I wouldn't betray you, you showed me the real truth," Twilight said to me.

Rarity looked slightly uncomfortable but a quick scan of her mind showed that she had no plans on betraying me.

"Twilight, Rarity, today we claim Ponyville as our own!" I said and they cheered. As an afterthought, I entered their minds and altered them slightly, making them that tad more loyal to me. Their eyes glazed over for a second then back to normal as my spell took hold, giving a subtle chant of

'Obey Nightmare Moon, Nightmare Moon is your mistress, Nightmare Moon is your friend,'

Constantly repeating in the back of their minds, influencing them. Of course, it wasn't that strong, I still wanted them to follow pretty much of their own will, I just wanted to make sure they would never betray me, and this would ensure they would not be able to use the elements, if they ever got them, against me.

Chryssie arrived at the castle with a vast army of changeling warriors, all in armour, ready for battle. Combined with my Shadow Forces, our army was in the millions.

CELESTIA POV

I called for an urgent diplomatic conference with Emperor Hajj. As usual, he arrived rather quickly and said,

"what is the meaning of this eternal nighttime, Princess Celestia?"

"Nightmare Moon has returned and I need you for an alliance to defeat her," I said desperately at him.

"No," he said,

"WHAT!?" I roared angrily,

"I refuse to endanger my Griffins in a pony war," he said, "and if you actually paid attention to your sister, she wouldn't have become Nightmare Moon anyway," he said and turned around to leave. That was when he pushed me over the top. I magically started to control him mentally, making him into my slave, my puppet.

"Now," I said to my hypnotised griffin emperor, "would you kindly go gather your armies for Mistress Celestia?"

"Yes my mistress," He said in a drone and left the palace.

An hour later he returned with the might of the griffin army, in his hypnotised state of mind. I commanded him,

"Hajj, Your army will accompany mine to Ponyville. We fight there,"

"Yes Mistress Celestia," He droned.

NIGHTMARE MOON POV

"Chryssie, Bring your army to Ponyville, we capture that town first." I said, "Celestia should want to meet us in battle, so I will face her and you hold off her army with my students."

Chrysalis smiled and asked,

"I'm sure I could bring other changeling hives onto our side, how about I contact them?"

"No time," I said, "Twilight, Rarity, Chrysalis, we leave now."

We marched out the castle with our humongous army. My students, Chrysalis and I at the head. We were ready.

IN THE CANTERLOT STATUE GARDEN

In the statue, nopony noticed the statue of Discord start to crack and shake. Soon, the master of chaos would return and Equestria would fall. The disembodied voice of Discord cackled in excitement of his release…
