Chapter 4: Chapter 4: Starting a new path! and it starts with a Magma giant

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

As I saw Luna run towards me I brace myself for the impact, she maybe in a bad state but after what Celestia did back in the castle I'm not taking any chances, call me paranoid but I like it when I'm not getting hit by someone at full force for a death hug. Luckily it wasn't a painful death hug as what Celestia gave me, it was more of a happy sad hug.

I heard her sob 'It's you' and 'I'm sorry' as she cried into my shirt, I gave her a hug back and whispered that everything is going to be alright and that it was good to see her again, we stayed like that for five minutes before Luna lets go and went over to Celestia.

Right now that all the happy sad emotional is now done time to get down to business, I looked over to see Nightmare moon trying to get up slowly and still look fearful at everyone. I look back at the main 6 to see that Rainbow dash and Applejack were glaring daggers at Nightmare, Rarity was narrowing her eye's at me, I don't know if was that she doesn't trust me or looking at my clothes to figuring out how to make them I got to say it's creepy, it's like she was stripping me down and throwing me away. Bad thoughts, bad thoughts!

Fluttershy was looking fearful at Nightmare Moon, and at me, and at Luna, truthfully I think she's scared at everything that's going on. I don't hold it against her with what has happened who wouldn't been scared. Pinkie pie was....... was being Pinkie pie, I know a little of her back in my old life and I found that you don't try to put logic and Pinkie together.

Lastly I looked at Twilight she was looking at me and at NM with a thinking look, as if she is planing what's going to to happen, I chuckled a little she reminds me of myself a bit with that look. As I look at her I could see that she has some sort of spark in her but it wasn't the same spark I saw in NM, no this was a spark of magic and something more. I look back to Celestia then put two and two together ahhhh Tia you clever girl I see what your planing, I guess I will keep this to myself until the moment arrives got to let her have some fun.

I tilted my head a little and cross my arms and look back to NM now standing to get a good look at her and found something that was interesting, Nightmare Moon looks younger then Luna huh she looks like the same age as the main 6 maybe a year or two older how does that work? She was in Luna for the time when she was in control so she would be the same age as Luna but no she looks younger just how does that wor- No Jace no your getting derailed again focus on what's important right now, you can question that later.

I shook my head and look at the main group, I now got a game plan and it's time to get this plan going.

"Alright I know that everything has been crazy for the past few hours but now it's time to get things in order, first we need to get back to Ponyville since everyone is wondering where you 8 are and-" I stopped to see Fluttershy put her hand up in a shy manner, I looked at her for a second and she put her hand down and tried to hide behind her hair.

"Ummm yes Fluttershy you have a question?" I asked the timid mare, she looks around and hid behind Rarity, she looked back and began to speak.

"Oh ummm... yes I got a question.... oh goodness...... ummm I have to ask, if you don't mind me asking, what.... ummm what going to happen to her?" She said as she pointed at Nightmare, I look at her blankly and gave her a blunt answer.

"She's coming with us and going to live in Ponyville," I said

"Oh" is all she said before her friends came in

"WHAT!!!!!!" they yelled as I cover my ears, damn..... they are loud.

"You know I think you have to say that again, I think the griffon kingdom didn't hear you." I said angrily, I saw Pinkie take a deep breath to say it again until Rarity put her hand in front of Pinkies mouth stopping her. I was about to say something until all I saw was a blue yet anger face in front of me.

"Are you out of your bucking mind!" Rainbow yelled in my face "She's the reason that all of this happens, and you want her to come back with us!?!" I put my finger in my ear to see if it's still working from all the yelling Rainbow was doing, I put a finger in the middle of her forehead and push her back, I like my personal space thank you very much. Before RD says anything Applejack put a hand on her shoulder and looked at me with narrow eyes.

"I have to agree with her on this one, all of this mess is her fault to begin with, the way I see it as soon she gets her strength back she will try to take over Equestria again." She said to me, I gave her and and the cyan mare a glare that made them back up that made me a little happen, HA! been stoned for a long ass time and I still got it! I saw Rarity step forward and I blinked at her, wow she does look somewhat like a marshmallow.

"Yes well, what I believe what Applejack and Rainbow dash is trying and rudely to say, how do we know that she won't go and do something bad again?" she asked me I looked at her for a minute and gave her a smile.

"Oh that's easy, I'm going to after her" oh god I wished I had a camera the look on the main 6 faces are priceless. I saw Twilight was going to say something until Celestia stepped forward to speck.

"Are you sure uncle? Are you sure that's wise?" she asked with a raised eyebrow, I looked at her with a shocked look on my face.

"Why Tia you don't you trust me?" I said as I tilted my head back and put the back of my hand on my forehead "Oh! you wound me so! My own niece doesn't trust me!" she just gave me a deadpan look.

"Last time I trusted you, you summoned a magma dragon in the griffon kingdom." she said, I looked back to her.

"That was for a 500 bit bet it see if I can scared the griffon king."

"Then you let out a months worth of rain in the middle of the desert" she said, I saw the main 6 look at each other

"I was making a watering hole for travelers!"

"Then you made a water slide out of Bluebloods statue" She went on, I could hear Luna giggling a bit.

"It was a hot summer day, I did it for the kids!" I said, I looked back to see Nightmare Moon had a hand over her mouth to stop her from laughing. Celestia put both of her hands on her hips and glared at me.

"And there was the one time at the gala where you were drunk and got a black cape, a bat mask and got up to the high point of the room and yelled 'I'M BATMAN!!' and flew off into the city." That did it, both Luna and Rainbow was on the floor laughing, NM was not laughing hard but still, I looked around and pointed at Tia.

"Come on that was funny!" I yelled at her as she started to giggle as I glared at her mentally saying 'I'm going to get you for that.'.

After a few minutes of laughing Celestia looked at me and nodded.

"All right then I'll allow it, just promise me that you will look after her alright." she said I looked at her and nodded and turned to look at Nightmare Moon and went up to her, her eyes went wide with fear as I tower over her, sometime being 6'2'' has it perks.

"Alright Nightmare I'm going to make you a deal, the deal is that you can ether stay here by yourself with no protection from anything." I said as I look into her eyes that were full of fear.

"Or you come under my wing and I'll teach you and set to on a better path, I'll give you a home, protection, food, and most of all," I soften my look a bit "a friend." She looked at me and then to the rest of the group, then into space as she thought.

After a minute she looked to me and gave me a small nod "Al... alright." she said in a small voice that made it sound as if I was talking to Fluttershy, I snapped my fingers and brought out a dark crimson red cloak and draped it over her shoulders. I looked back and nodded at Celestia and we all moved out of the castle and headed back to town.

(half an hour later)

As we all arrived at Ponyville the townsfolk where very happy to see their princess back and well, hell they were happy to see Luna was back and well. For Nightmare Moon it was a different story, they were scared at first but slowly they started to get anger some even went to get some pitchforks and torches, Celestia, Luna and some of the main 6 tried to calm the crowed down but it wasn't working so I decided to scare the living crap out of them and summoned a Magma giant (which was hard to do since I have no red mana so I converted some green to red mana, here's a tip don't do convert one colour mana into another, it hurts a lot!) after summoning a magma giant and getting a killer headache I told them that she is under my protection and if anyone wanted to try and get her they have to go through me to do so.

After the mob went broke apart the main 6 went to the library that Twilight seem to be living in now since she's going to live in Ponyville now and there's going to be a party there, Pinkie said that both me and Nightmare can come but I had to decline since I have a killer headache now really wanted to get into a bed, I saw Pinkies mane drooped a bit and left to join her friends seeing her go like that made me feel bad, sure she's going to bounce back by tomorrow but I still felt bad. I made a note to myself to send her a note that says since me and Nightmare Moon are new to town that she can throw a party for us, I think that will cheer her up.

After they left I told Nightmare Moon to head to the Everfree, she gave me a weird look but I told her to trust me on it and I'll catch up to her in a bit, as she left I pulled Celestia and Luna to the side to talk to them.

"Uncle is something the matter, you don't look so well." Celestia asked which got Luna to look worried at me. I waved my hand to them,

"I'm fine just converted some mana to do that summon, it took a toll on me and I have a headache but don't by tomorrow I'll be right as rain, but that's not what I wanted to talk about." I looked around to see if anypony is around "It has to do with Nightmare Moon."

"Then why didn't you just say when we are all walking here then?" Luna said looking at me I shook my head and looked at her.

"I didn't want to have the rest to be asking questions, not tonight and I'm sure that I'm going to get some questions from them in the coming weeks mostly from Twilight, but I wanted to both tell both of you and ask you a question." I said looking at Luna, she looked at me wide eyed and nodded at me to ask away.

"When you and Nightmare were in one body did you feel anything, I don't mean as your not in control of your body kinda feeling more of some sort of power that was deep inside, some sort of, 'spark'?" I asked, Luna looked at me and narrowed her eyes and stared to think for a few minutes. She closed her eyes before started to speak.

"No I don't think so, I didn't feel anything before I was sent to the moon, I guess I was still anger at Celestia to feel anything" she opened her eye to me staring at her is a deadpan stare before rubbing my eyes.

"Not what I meant I mean after you came back from the moon, when Nightmare was using magic I mean, did you feel anything?" I asked again with more tone to the last bit. Luna again close her eyes and I saw Celestia looking at me out of the corner of my eye with narrowed eyes.

"Uncle why are you asking these question? We all had a rough night and I believe we all need some rest and then we-" Celestia was interrupted when Luna snapped her eye open with a gasp.

"Yes! Yes I did feel some sort of spark from when she was using magic but it was weird, it felt like the same magic as you used." Luna said as she looked at me, slowly both of them were looking at me with the same question in their heads. Celestia was the one to ask it.

"Uncle what's going on?" Celestia asked, I crossed my arms and titled my head to think, since Luna felt the spark I guess I wasn't wrong. I looked at them and specked in a lower volume.

"What I'm going to tell you is between us ok, no one can know this under stand." I saw both of them nod in agreement I took a deep breath and exhaled it before I said what's next.

"I believe that Nightmare moon is like me, she's a planeswalker." I heard them gasped and saw them go wide eyed, I didn't blame them becoming a planeswalker is like getting hit by lighting twice sure it could happen but it's very rare.

"That's why I wanted to look after her and teach her, if I could get her on a better path she will have a better life, and if she went evil and has the power of a planeswalker, well it would be bad." I looked at both of them and nodded to them.

"This is why I wanted to tell you two alone, if she knew of this it won't have gone well." I turned to look to see if I could see her, could see the dark crimson dot moving towards the Everfree but I was slowly getting smaller, better wrap this up.

"I will tell her this when she has better control of her powers and a better sense of life, just trust me with this alright." I asked over my shoulder and Luna nodded to me. Celestia was staring at me with a serious look.

"Uncle can I ask you one question?" I turned to her and nodded

"If she didn't have that spark in her would you still took her in?" She asked, I stood there for a minute with a straight face before I smiled at her.

"Yes I would have with or without the spark, everyone deserves a second chance to live. Now good night you two." and with that I blinked away. The last thing I saw what Celestia and Luna smiling at me.

(one blink spell later)

I was now on a dirt path out of Ponyville to the Everfree, I saw Nightmare Moon walking up to me without seeing me. As see looked up she stopped with a open mouth trying to ask a question but I waved at her to come as I turned and walked the path, she stood there for a moment then ran up to me.

"How did you?" she asked

"Blink spell." I said with a shrug, she had more questions to ask but I told her I will answered them at a later date. We walked for a few minutes to see a cottage in the distance at the edge of the forest, huh I guess someone had the same idea as me, or just wanted to pay less rent. We turned off the dirt path and walked about 15 minutes to get into the forest and walked four or five minutes till we get to a clearing in the forest. I walked ahead for a bit and turn to NM with crossed arms.

"So you know why you are here?" I asked her. She looked at me and shook her head.

"Your here because you went mad and tried to put all of Equestria into a endless night which by the way is a stupid idea and would of killed all everyone who lives here and everyone doesn't trust you and hate you because of it." I said as I watch her flinch at the last part, hey the truth hurts some times. I let what I said sink in for a bit and watch her think, she had her head down so I wouldn't see her eyes. I looked up at the night sky to see the moon getting covered by a cloud.

"Truth be told I should of let them at you for what you tried to do, you did deserve it after all and none of them won't give you a second chance." I could feel her anger from here, I might be pushing it but it had to be said, again the truth hurts. As I look back to her the cloud moved and let the moon shine down.

"I for one don't think that and I believe in second chances." I saw her snapped her head up to look at me and all that anger from before was gone, replace with shock. I walk slowly to her and continue to speak.

"Before when I summoned that giant you felt something, something that felt right to you, something that you have been missing, something that you could reach out and almost grasp it in your hands." I said as I pour a little of my mana back into the world, not a lot but enough to get her to notice. She nodded a little and after a minute her eye widen as she quickly looked around, yup she can feel it.

"Listen I'm going to make a deal for you and it's a simple yes or no deal understand? Yes you do I know you do. So here's you choices, first choice: You become my apprentice and I will teach you everything I know and then some and become something great." I said to her as I watch her eye fill with wounder and hope I guess, I narrow my eyes and stoned my voice a bit.

"But if you pick that choice there's are somethings you need to know, if you become my apprentice you need to drop any plans you have for taking over Equestria, putting it into an endless night, and any other evil plans you have right now and follow what I say to the letter. With that we come into the second choice: if you still have evil plans to do that or something along on those lines then you should forget the first chose and start walking away and know that if we meet again I will not hold back. Now there are your choices I'll give you a few minutes to decide." After I said that I went into the clearing and started to look for what I was looking for, some symbols in the ground.

After a few minutes finding and pouring some mana into them to kick start them I went back to Nightmare moon who was still standing there thinking. I walked up and cross my arms and looked at her waiting. After a few moments she started to talk.

"After what happen at the ruins, after I got hit by Elements of Harmony I thought I was done for, I was so scared that I would just disappear like dust in the wind, when I opened my eyes and saw that I have my own body all I wanted to do is to run away. I was so confuse and scared that they will take that away from me until you shown up, I have all of Luna's memories you know." she said as I raised an eyebrow but let her continue.

"I know that your brash at times and silly at times but you are also nice and loving and willing to give someone like me a second chance because that's who you are so." she said as she take a shaky breath "I want to be your apprentice, I want to start over." with that I looked at her with a smile and looked up to the sky.

"Well then with that settled you have one thing to do."

"Oh and what's that?" she asked as I look back at her.

"Well to pick a new name of course." this made her blink in surprise.

"Wait change my name? Why?" she asked

"Well first off, since your starting over it makes sense that you get a new name and second, Nightmare Moon is really a stupid name if you think about it, anyway go on and pick a name." I said to her. She blinked again and turned her head to the sky to think for a moment, as she does that I use my magic to get a unveil spell going.

"Moonlight." I looked back at her as she's looking at me/

"What?" I asked

"Moonlight, that's the name I picked for my new name." she answered I blinked at her and thought about it, Moonlight yeah that kinda fits if you think about it. I shook my head and walked over to her and put out my hand.

"Well then Moonlight it's nice to meet you, my name is Jace Beleren."I said as she took my hand to shake it. We let go and I turn around started to walk away just to stop as she called out to me.

"Hey Jace and I ask you something?" I turned to her and listened to what she has to say.

"Since I have Luna's memories and know somewhat of you I got to ask, even if I said no to the deal you would of let me stay with you won't you." Moonlight asked as I nodded, I know where this is going.

"Well if that's the way why did you make me chose? Or was is just that you were being an ass about it." I couldn't help but laugh at that. Oh I like her,

"Haha, yup I was just being a giant ass about it." I said with a goofy grin on as she chuckled a bit then into a laugh.

"Alright now your room is down the hall to the left and there's a bathroom in the room to." I said to her and she gave me a look that said that I'm insane.

"What are you talking about there's nothing here." as she said that I snapped my fingers and let the spell do the work, the unveil spell happened and what was a emptied clearing is now a stone cottage with a brick roof it had that homey feel to it, I looked at the house and back at her and laugh as she had a shocked look on her.

"But, wait how did you..... wait let me guess magic?" she asked

"Yup magic." is all I said as I open the door for her and she walked in, I also went in and closed the door.

"Tomorrow you can get a good look around and get settled in but the day after your training starts and I'll also will be giving you a list of things that you have to do in the mornings, oh don't give me that look you should of know that I would, now go and get some sleep." I said to her, she glared at me for a moment and went to her new room as I stood there and looked around, the place isn't very fancy but it was homey and simple, I had a warm smile as I look around and chuckled a bit and started to walk to my room when I heard a sound behind me.

I looked behind me to see nothing until I looked at the floor and saw some thing what wasn't there before, I bend down and picked it up to see it better in the moon light. It was a talisman that I used to have but it had a different colour to it and had some sort of yin yang thing to it.

After giving it a good look I heard a voice like before in the ruin library but it was different.

""For those who need assistance, some ass-kicking or even just for someone to talk to call upon me, Jak the Eco Freak."

I blinked at it and narrowed my eyes at the token, Jak the Eco Freak? what kind of name is that, well with what has happened today I don't think I should be surprise at this. As I look at the token I went through my choices of it, should I throw it away? no I can't do that but I have no idea who or what this Jak person is or what he can do, but if keep it I might need it in the future.

After a few moments I put the token into my pocket and went to bed, I'll think about it in the morning for now all I want to do is sleep. After I went into my room I crashed into my bed and passed out in a heartbeat.

Author's Notes:

Well this was something, this took me about 10 hours to write and damn it was hard to do. Any way here you go Chapter 4 and now we have some things going on like Nightmare Moon a planeswalker and is now the apprentice to Jace well that going to be fun and now she has a new name, Moonlight!

Now for somethings to point out and make things clear. Firstly the way AJ talks, I can't write southern I just can't so I'm going to write it normal until I learn how to write it.
I also have maybe some bad new to post out, you see I have two other plans I want to do and one of them I need to do this week and the next is going to be near or on New years I really want to do write them, so here's the thing I'm going to try to get the next chapter out by Wednesday, if I don't it will be up next week I promises.

Now last thing, it's weird that Jace got this token all of a sudden, and who's this Jak person. Well if I told you that would be spoilers so you have to wait ;)

anyway I will see you all in the next chapter

Next Chapter: Chapter 5: A fight with a dragon and a Eco Freak. and what happens after that Estimated time remaining: 10 Hours, 29 Minutes
