Pain. That was all Hot Streak felt. The last thing she knew was that she saw that woman and then she had blacked out. She craned her head to see it was that pony…that Rainbow Dash in armor.

Wait…what? She saw Spitfire and Stormy Flare being led away by medics.

"No! I will not let them…" Hot Streak's voice froze in her throat. A hundred feet. A hundred feet in seconds and she hadn't even seen her move.

Hot Streak channeled her power with all her might with rapid slashes that Rainbow Dash was dodging with speed. "Its over. Give up now. You've lost!"

"Stay out of my way!" Hot Streak's rapid multi-stab was just far too slow to land a hit on the mare. She followed up with a broad slash that left her vulnerable to which Rainbow Dash responded with a knee to her chin sending her flying back. Just as Hot Streak attempted to recover she was clotheslined by Rainbow Dash.

Despite the force of the strike the mare got up. Rainbow then suddenly felt a pull of something. Her element was reacting. 'Rarity.' She thought as she began channeling all of power into the next strike.

Hot Streak had no idea the condition her body was in, but she had been fighting dozens upon dozens of guards not to mention two highly skilled officers now followed by an armored element of harmony. If she was at full strength she might have stood a chance, but the mare was running circles at her.

Having no more time to spare Rainbow Dash took to the air. Seconds later she flew towards the Black armored wing at full force driving her into the ground. The ensuing crash caused a crater from the impact. Rainbow Dash flew upwards and looked down on her opponent who was struggling to her hooves. It was time she put an end to this and went into the sky and began circling kilometers of area in seconds gather clouds. Using her magic she converted the clouds gathered into storm clouds and with that lightning bolts began to rain down on the armored mare. If that psycho could still fight after that then she deserved to get away.

"Praise to the bearers!" Thunder murmured as Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie arrived just in time to begin driving off the nightmare creatures. The magic of their elements began eliminating the nightmare creatures. Each blast of Pinkie's canons or encounter with Fluttershy's shields evaporated the smoggy form of the creatures and purified and freed the captured moon inhabitants.

Suddenly they felt a ping of something. "Rarity!" Fluttershy gasped to Pinkie.

"Hang on Rare we're a coming. " She said as the Nightmare forces were on the run. With the creatures no longer rendering their measures useless the equestrian guard began their counter attack.

---

Applejack was helping the guard members on the ground while Twilight was fending off the dragons with her powerful magical beams. Twilight's enhanced magical bolts proved powerful enough to pierce their hides.

Applejack and Twilight felt the pull of their friend's presence. "Twi!" Applejack shouted as the mare nodded.

"I'm on it!" Twilight shouted as her magical power exploded in the form of a visible aura. In a blink she was gone teleporting in the air. Landing on one of the dragons she fired her beam, baiting one of the other dragons to attack before teleporting on the third. When she landed on this dragon she took notice of Midnight's magical signature with weaker pulses from the other dragons. Casting a spell she managed to weaken the spell enough where the dragon's violate nature overcame it and the beast went wild. Playing upon the violate nature of the dragons she baited it into attacking the others before teleporting them far away.

Twilight landed on the ground, falling to one knee and clutching her head. The use of her power to teleport such large beings had taken a lot out of her. Applejack helped Twilight to her hooves. "Can ya move?" she asked as Twilight nodded. "Let's go then!"

The battle between Luna and Radiance raged on. In a flash Radiance charged to which Luna was able to dodge thanks to her combat experience and superior reflexes.

Radiance was moving at full speed drawing upon all her power. She crashed into the mare with a sudden rushed. The moon princess was knocked into a nearby building.

She was about to charge forward when a beam of solar magic hit her side. Radiance let out a hiss. "Generals to me!" she ordered as the four greatest remnants of Nightmare merged into her shadow and a sickening aura began to radiate from Radiance.

Once more Celestia fired a blast only for a wall formed out of shadow pop up to block the attack.

Once Luna joined in with a blast her wall was pierced forcing Radiance to teleport away. She fired a ball of energy to which the Princesses readied to block only for a massive crest to suddenly form in front of them and absorbed the attack.

"We're here!"

"Just hang on Rarity!"

"We'll save you."

The bearers joined the Princesses as they readied themselves for Radiance's onslaught. Radiance called the nightmares to her and ordered them to attack the bearers.

As the Nightmares charged Luna maneuvered around them to which Radiance met her in the middle. Their fists crashed into each other with the raw power shattering the windows hundreds of yards away and completely blew back any the weaker nightmares.

Radiance felt a massive drain on her chakra as she was thrown back by the clash. The battle on the inside was messing with her focus and stability. She was starting to lose control of the situation.

---

Radiance began to undergo a transformation similar to Moon's as she took on a more monstrous appearance. Her eyes forming into horizontal slits, horns emerging from her forehead. Her body growing larger until it eclipsed his own. The face began to grow and extended outwards until it jutted forward several inches looking rather draconic with horns emerging from the chin. Her nails sharpened and extended several inches.

Radiance began summoning ghouls to which shot at the two of them with blazing speed.

Naruto charged forward and began piercing through the shadows with his lance.

Rarity using her ribbons make a quick swipe channeling her magic causing them to evaporate. Moving with the grace of a dancer she was slashing through them with ease.

One of the ghouls smash down at Rarity who dodged away from the attack. Naruto barreled into the scene and smashed straight through one of the ghouls using his shoulder. He slid across the ground before he leaped to the air and jabbed at Radiance who dodged it. It was meant to deceive; it pushed her in the way of Rarity who swung out with the ribbon which wrapped itself around Radiance's ankle.

Her magic channeled into the Nightmare causing it to thrash and hiss and pain. Shockwaves erupted from the Nightmare and she jolted back.

Rarity yanked back her ribbon and braced herself for the powerful shockwaves that knocked her off her hooves.

Radiance began firing a massive beam only for Naruto to dash in front and block the beams with his lances.

Radiance gave a cry of pure rage as she began unleashing everything she had at them at once.

---

Radiance was weakening. Luna already had the advantage of a more powerful body, but now the disharmony of the possessed mare's focus was allowing her to set the pace of the battle.

The only thing that kept the Radiance alive was the moon princess unwillingness to murder one of her saviors and dear friends or cause unfathomable damage to Ponyville.

As Celestia shielded the town below the other bearers were channeling their elements and trying to call out to their friends trapped within the realm of Rarity's mindscape. They also understood the fact that this was something Luna had to do in order to work out all of her issues concerning the Nightmare.

The following few strikes drove Radiance towards the ground. If she had the magic of an average unicorn first two blows would have finished it. But since she had the advantage of being in the body of a bearer she was able to tank the barrage. Radiance moved fully into defensive mode. She backed up instead of striking out. She dodged instead of blocked. She created separation every chance he got. She just had to hold on until she could extinguish Rarity and gain full control of this body and she would be given the victory.

Now was the time. Luna closed the distance between them in a second. With nothing but the power behind her strikes the shockwave that followed her punch slammed into the Radiance with immense power.

The blast crushed the Radiance into Celestia's barrier and the shield rippled outward in all directions. The Alicorn amulet around her neck broke, the cracked gem following out of the neckpiece and dropping down to the ground.

Radiance felt her magic drop to far lower points. Her armor created from her essence crackled around her barely maintaining its shape. The slit of her eyes began to fade and her fur began to lighten.

'Why? Why! I was so close! How am I losing again!?' She felt herself further weaken when the four shades left her shadow. "Cowards! I command you! Come back!" she commanded as she stood up and fell forward to one knee. The aura around her was fading and she was breathing heavily trying to drink in air.

"Its over Radiance…you have lost. This is the end of the Nightmare Forces."

Radiance looked at the moon. It was slowly beginning to set signifying sunrise was on the horizon.

A bitter chuckle escaped Radiance's lips. She would not give in easily. If this was going to end she was going to take everything with her. She propelled herself towards the sky and began channeling all the magic she had left for one final blast. If she could not rule over the land then she would destroy it.

Luna readied as Radiance fired another massive magical beam. Luna met the attack with a beam of her own.

---

Rarity recovered and joined by her lovers side. Placings his hand over hers she channeled her magic into the lances. Magic began to erupt from the lance as it pushed back against Radiance's beam. The beam tore through the attack and pierced Radiance's midsection.

The dark beam evaporated as Radiance descended to the ground. A portal opened up revealing the outside. "Go. I'll be okay." Rarity told the blond who nodded and escaped to the outside world.

Rarity walked over to the fallen body of Radiance. "You. You were so weak. How? Why?" the image of Nightmare Rarity faded and transformed into a black mass of Nightmare.

"I pity you Nightmare. You lack what it means to understand friendship and love. All you can do is cause pain and misery. Truly a loathsome experience."

"Is this the part where you purify me? I cannot and will not be destroyed. I will keep coming back. I am eternal. As long as darkness exist I will always be reborn."

"And we will be right there to stop you." Rarity said as the light of her element began to bathe the Nightmare in light.

"The Nightmare will never be over!" The Nightmare wailed as its form was evaporated by the light.

---

Back in Ponyville the bearers all surrounded Radiance. The beams of magic all shot out from them as they swirled around Luna's blast. The beam overwhelmed Radiance's as the blast washed over Radiance's.

A wail escaped Radiance's lips as the armor and dark wisps below to chip away.

"Can you hear us Rarity! We're here for you!" Twilight's voice echoed through her mind. 'We will not let you go. You are our friend. We love you. Please come back to us.' An image of how Rarity took care of her when she was ill flickered through Twilight's mind.

Memories. Memories of the time they spent together and how much they loved her began to pour into the mare's mind.

She had always been there when they needed her.

'Can you hear me Rarity? I don't want to lose one of my best friends. Come back.' An image of Fluttershy and Rarity at the spa flickered to life.

'Come on girl fight it. We need ya.'

'We're here, were right here.'

'You have what it takes you're one of the strongest mares I know.'

'We love you. Come back to us.'

Memories of pleasant lunches with Pinkie. Of Rainbow saving her life. Of helping Applejack improve her appearance with their double date with Naruto. The moment Naruto proposed to her.

A bright light erupted from Rarity as the beam formed a sphere around her. The Gemstone armor manifested around Rarity as the harmonious magic.

The last bits of Nightmare was purified as the aura of the elements washed over.

Finally Rarity was returned to her normal self.

"Rarity!" Instantly she was moved by the bearers for a tear filled group hug.

"I love all of you so much. Thank you for not giving up on me." She said as the tears fell from her eyes. The beams of Harmony began to wash over the land once more.

"It does a heart good to see you return back to us lady Rarity." Luna said as she descended before them.

"Princess. Thank you."

"But for now the celebrations must be withheld." Celestia called out to them as she took to the sky. "The fanatics of the Nightmare Children will not be deterred. It's time we put an end to this war."

---

The Nightmare Children who had witnessed the defeat of their queen were shell shocked. Some were simply stunned into inaction. Others fell to their knees in despair. The bearers had taken away their liege. The bearers had all split and began engaging each of the units threatening Equestrian provinces.

The sun rose to the sky as light washed over the land. "I am Princess Celestia! Goddess of the Sun! Diarch of Equestria eldest child of Faust! Your Queen is no more! Her commanders have either been defeated or being dealt with by the Elements of Harmony as we speak! Thousands of lives have been ruined by this senseless attack! Surrender now and you will be tried and justly punished. Those who continue to fight will face my WRATH!" The sun began to glow and shined like a raging inferno.

Some ran in terror while others froze, rooted in place. Most however simply backed away. Their queen was no more and the Goddess of the Sun stood before them.

If not here the Goddess of Love and Moon and if not them they were in the area seeing the Elements of Harmony or Equestria's elite forces in action. Without the ever living Nightmares assisting them it was a one sided slaughter.

The high ranking members left of the Nightmare Children were dealing with an eternal struggle.

As correspondence went back and forth it was soon learned that the entire right attacking side of their forces were shattered. Cadance had single handily disabled the attacking force of the east and with the aid of Rarity and Rainbow Dash the river side was secured.

Twilight had arrived in Equestria and with the aid of her brother began driving out the enemy in Canterlot.

The rest were making rapid strikes on all the small strike teams and gathering the remnants of the Equestrian guard left.

Moon Shadow one of the few of Midnights inner circle that was still alive and was badly wounded. He was missing an arm and had lost a considerable amount of blood. He was aware enough to relay orders. It was time to retreat.

They simply had no one left to reliably take on the likes of Equestria's strongest warriors.

Lady Midnight, Perfect Storm and Vanity were nowhere to be found. Hot Streak had been captured and Rockhead had been knocked out.

The Nightmare children who chose to fled slinked away like beaten dogs, utterly demoralized and defeated while others surrendered and pleaded for mercy.

Equestria had officially won.
