"Ugh this suck." Said Amy as she was walking around patrolling the area like she usually do. So far during her patrol she hasn't spotted any changelings around ponyville. Usually this would be a good thing for her, but after two weeks of doing community service and not getting any action (Not that kind of action) she was pretty much getting cabin fever from not fighting evil and stuff. As she was about to call it a day Amy heard a voice coming from behind a bush.
"Help me."
Due to her curiosity she looked over the bush that the voice was coming from. "What the hell?" So her surprise she thought the beat up looking alicorn was Artemus for a second. But after getting a good look a the alicorn she notice that her skin was much darker shade of the night sky, but still had the same starry mane as Artemus. The alicorn was also wearing a royal blue long sleeve shirt with a logo on it that say "The Moon Rulez" on it, she also was wearing a pair of navy blue color jeans, and had a broken up crown on her head . Amy moved past the bushes and kneel down towards the female Alicorn.
"Please tell me your dead or anything? Cause lord knows I don't want bury or touch a dead body."
"人性交ですか。"
"Oh great the one time I find another alicorn, and she's to banged up to even speak right."
"I'm speaking neighpones you dolt, don't you know our species languages?"
"Well you are a pony right? I mean you like one."
"More like an embodyment of nightmare's and shadows.
"Huh? And here I thought all ponies were born normally."
"And I thought there were a species much dumber then Celestia no ponies perfect."
".......I'm going to ignore that little comment for now. Minded telling me what the hell happen to you?"
"Ever been the black sheep of the family that no one talks about? Asked Nightmare moon.
".....Yes."
"Well let's just say that I'm the family member that pretty much refuse to do her royal duties.
"Preaching to the quire on that one sister." Amy pulled out a full health bottle out of her backpack, and gave it to Nightmare moon. Nightmare moon took the bottle from Amy's hand and began to drink it. To her surprise all her injuries were fully healed including her broken horn and wings.
"Thanks."
"Your welcome, so care to explain how you got fucked up?"
"Long story short got into a fight with Celestia and Artemus, I lost the fight, and I was cast out of the royal family."
"Damn really? I can understand Celestia cause well she a bitch, but Artemus really?"
"I know right? After all the stuff I did for him you think he would help me out when Celestia was kicking my ass."
"I'll have to have a little talk with him later on, but for now I'll be heading off seeing how your ok and all." Amy stood up and was about to walk off. That is until she felt an hand pulling on her coat.
"Wait a minute." Yelled Nightmare Moon. "I have a question to ask."
"Look I already have ponies asking me out on a date, and just like I told them I don't really don't do dating."
"No not that, I was wonder who do you serve?"
This made Amy think for a moment about which princess or prince she served. Hm well I don't serve Celestia seeing how she pretty much still hates me after the fight with Yuri, not to forget that I know if I did serve her she would pretty much have me do horrible and disgusting things." Amy shivered at the thought of what Celestia would do to her. And there's no way in hell I'll serve Artemus after that time he tried to take a picture of me in the shower." "No one at the moment why?"
"I know I'm not a princess, but would you like to serve me?"
"Not to be rude or anything but why should I serve you?"
"Well seeing how you and I can relate to being the black sheep of are family, we both pretty much think Celestia is a bitch, and you seem pretty lonely at the moment."
"........Get to the point please."
"I'm saying that later on down the road you might end up fighting against Celestia, and you will need help fighting her."
"And how will you help me beat her then?"
"There is a spell that forbidden among are species that Celestia told me not to do."
"And we're just gonna ignore her warning, and pretty much do the spell?"
"Oh maliciously yes."
"Well this is gonna piss Celestia off." Amy mentally said to herself before agreeing to Nightmare Moons request. "Ok so how does this spell work if I'm suppose to be subject?"
"Oh it's simple really." Nightmare Moon touched Amy's shadow, and in a flash she disappears into thin air. "There now I'm a part of you my lovely knight."
"Ok so what just happen?"
"I just fuse my soul with yours, this will allow me to assist you when your in trouble.
"Ok......wait how do I know you won't just take over my body, and try to take over Equestria?"
"Please I'm not like King Sombra. Pretty much from all the comic book I read about villains trying to take over the world, it doesn't end well."
"Good point i guess, anyway are you inside my head or something?"
Pretty much yeah, but don't worry I'll leave at anytime you want if you need some time to yourself."
"Not right know I'll let you know when I need some alone time, till then what happens now?"
"Well with my ability of foresight, and your.......somewhat ok skills, we'll be an unstoppable team my little knight."
"Jackass." Amy said Mentally. "Anything else I should know about?"
"Hm let me put it terms that you might know when from this show called DBZ abridged." Nightmare Moon cleared her throat. "YOU CAN WIN, YOU FEEL GREAT, YOU CAN DO THIS! She said as she was wearing a cheerleaders outfit.
"Oh HAHA very funny," Amy said while rolling her eyes. "Your gonna be like this arn't you?"
"Well I have been isolated from the world for the past 1,000 years, so yeah I'm gonna be using your thoughts for me to help me get up to date with the world around you."
"Oh joy this is gonna be fun." Amy said sarcastically.
( Present time the day after the train event in the arena)
Amy was waiting in the arena of the a pointed time that Nicko suggested, so far it been at least 2 to 3 hours and she was getting impatient at the fact that her opponent was late.
"Where the fuck is that idiot?" She said planting her sword into the ground. "I swear if that kid bailed on me on this fight I'm gonna hunt him down and punching the nads."
"I'm sure he'll show up, I mean you did call him short and that pretty much pissed him off so I doubt he'll back down."
"Yeah but you think he'll show up on time wouldn't he?"
"Yeah that is true, you sure you'll be up for a fight against him? Nightmare Moon said with a worry tone in her voice."I mean you did got the crap beaten out of you, and you did fall on your head....a lot."
"It's just a mild head concussion no big deal, and beside I took another healing bottle that the CMC made for me the other day."
"If you say so, but just be careful ok."
"Why's that?"
"Cause I think that Nicko boy is right in front of you."
Amy looked in front of her to see Nicko in the arena, but to her surprise he was wielding two greatsword. One with the color of red and the other one that resembled a shorter, but stronger blade. His hair was spiked along his head like a hedgehog and his gloves extended across his arms. There was a lot more armor across his waist than the casual clothes he wore the other day.
"Well took you long enough shorty, don't you know it's rude to keep a lady waiting for a match?"
"Yeah cause your the definition of a proper lady." Selena said sarcastically.
“Look Lady… I have no idea what the hell your issue is and I could honestly care less about your life problems. I walked all the way from Appleloosa on foot in order to be able to come here and I was just trying to mind my own business until you accused me of challenging you to a duel. I don’t even freaking know you!” Said the boy that almost look like Nicko. “But if you want to know my name, then you are going to have prove to me that you are as strong as you say you are.” He put his silver blade on his shoulder and pointed his first weapon at Amy.
“Can you just say who the hell you are!?” She said pulling her sword from out of the ground. The newcomer charged at Amy, summoning three swords behind him as he charged. “MIRAGE STING!!”
Amy parry away the on coming attack, as she counter with fireworks. "Eat that jerk."
"No thanks I just ate on the way here." The newcomer deflected the attack as he again charged thrusts his sword forward, summoning 3 magic swords at her. "SWORD BLASTING!!"
"Shit Stoic - Strong!!" The blast made contact as Amy was sent flying back from the impact of the explosion.
"Uh Amy."
"Yeah what is it Selena?"
"I don't think this is Nicko.
"Really what gave that away?" Amy mentally said sarcastically.
Well for starters-.
"That was a rhetorical question Selena," she said rolling her eyes. "How much damage did I take?"
"If you didn't use stoic-strong then you would be bleeding out on the arena floor."
"Great look like I still haven't recover from the fight."
"I would suggest you call this fight off before you get injured even more."
"Can't do that," Amy pulled herself from the ground with sword in hand. "I don't know if this is a clone sent by Eric, or some other poor sap that got turn to stone by Sun butt." With that Amy charged at the infinity sword wielder, raising her up above her head. "BURN! SWORD OF RED LOTUS!!" The burning sword was brought down upon the dual sword wilder, but instead of hitting it target it was blocked by his sword. "Nice try but that won't work on me "COMPACT COUNTER!!" The boy parryed away her sword and counter with a double slash attack at Amy's blindside. "Raise your sword up to your left quickly!!" At the last second thanks to Selena's advice she raised her sword up to her left.
“What’s the matter? Can’t keep up?” He said pushing Amy back a few feet away from him.
"Cocky little brat let's see how you like th-." Before she could finish that sentence Amy felt her leg give way along with her right arm. This cause her to kneel down onto the ground."W-what the hell?"
"I told you so, you still haven't recovered from your fight with Eric! Not only that but your out of magic, and your injuries that I tried to mend are now open again!"
".....I'm fucked arn't I?"
"All I can say is brass for impact."
Even though Amy's vision was starting to fade in & out of darkness, she could see the infinity sword wielder coming after her. "Oh this is so gonna. She thought as she closed her eyes waiting for the impact to hit her, but to her surprise the attack didn't land on her. When she opened her eyes she saw Nicko right in front of her as he kick her attacker in the chest making him skid backwards. “Honestly, I did not expect you to be the one trying to save my life.” She said as she was able to push herself up from the ground with whatever energy she had left.
“Yeah….Mind doing me a favor?” That’s when Nicko conjured a small rune that pushed Amy off of the stage and crashed into Yuri.
“What the hell was that for!?”
“The favor I needed you to do was step aside.” Nicko turned around and started to walk off back into the arena.
"You ok sweetie?" Asked Yuri.
"Can't feel my left leg and right arm, so far I think if I fought against Nicko now I would be screwed."
"Well don't worry sweetie you own personal medical team are on the way." Yuri said with a motherly smile on her face. This made Amy a bit worry at who the medical team was, so far thanks to Mayor Mare she pretty much didn't get that much medical help from the hospital. Not to mention with the construction of the new hospital being build they could only allow those who were in critical conditions into the hospital.
"I'm afraid to ask but who are my personal medical team?" Yuri pointed to Amy's left, as she turn her head Amy's face grew pale as she saw her medical team that was suppose to heal her up.
“Cutie Mark Crusaders field medics!!”
"Oh god why!?"
"This won't end well."
