As the elements and I headed to the town hall I felt a massive surge in magic come from Canterlot. I figured this was Selene’s stasis spell to knock out Aunty Tia. When we entered the building the surging grew much stronger as the stars started moving closer to the moon.

I looked to the others and saw that none of them felt the energy pouring onto the stage. This lead me to guess that I felt it due to my connection to all magic and my unique biology.

As Mayor Mare started introducing Aunty the magic reached a breaking point and I felt a SNAP! in the ambient aura as both of my Mothers returned to the planet’s surface.

Suddenly the air grew heavy around us as Nightmare Moon took to the stage cackling insanely and while most of the ponies around us acted as they did in from the show aired on Earth, though Pinkie and Pinka only bowed their heads along with the rest of the hidden shifters.

Knowing that the calm caused by this wouldn’t last, I prepared to dispel my glamor and confront the insane form my mothers' consequent fused form had become.

Mayor Mare called the guards and they bum rushed Nightmare as they did in the show but instead of just letting mothers catch them I dispelled my glamor and teleported in front of the guards drawing my lunar katana and activating a barrier spell that had been placed on the town in case of Ursa Major attacks from the Everfree.

“Hold Mothers, let us do battle away from our subjects residing in this town. I propose that the Everfree castle shall be our place of battle.”

“ Very well mine daughter.” The half sane mare said as she looked around her. “You are right to ask this of us we shall retreat to our old home but know this I shan’t make it easy for you or anypony whom you choose to accompany you.”

“Thank you and I'm sorry I wasn’t there.”

As Nightmare Moon left I shifted back from my power state into my Dragonoid hybrid form. And flew to the stage.

“Hello everypony. I’m Princess Twilight and I’m sorry for my mothers’ actions just now but due to some old grudges and Discord's magic, they were driven insane. And I was sent forward in time I would like to explain more but I had only a small window of time to reason with them before the insanity which plagues them fully reasserts itself. Please don’t worry about Princess Celestia, neither Luna or Selene have harmed her. Even now the worst they have done is send her into a coma like sleep, which judging by where the sun is, is exactly what they have done.”

Dr. Whooves stood up as Derpy told him to sit back down. Knowing Who he really was I knew what his question could be.

“How do you know that Celestia still lives? And how can we trust you in the first place? You're the daughter of those monsters! For all we know, you could be here to massacre us all in her stead!”

“Well Doctor,” I started seeing his eyebrow raise as he realized I knew “to answer your second query would you like to know that I'm also my aunt’s highest ranking noble and military officer. Ie. the Faithful Student? I have a duty to my family as well as my country and the planet to save both of my mothers from themselves. And to answer your first question though our moon does produce light it does not create heat to keep the planet warm. Even in an eternal night scenario, my mothers would still need the sun. Killing or majorly hurting my Aunt would destabilize the sun and cause any spell that allows that heat to reflect off their moon to fail thus killing the world and the subjects they want to protect.”

“What subjects are those?” the Doctor asked.

“The same ponies who have been oppressed for 700 years. The Thestrals, the Vamp- and Timber-ponies, the Kirin and the Dragonoids, and finally the Changelings and the hidden Alicorns and Sirens. All of which were ordered to hide their true forms to protect them from the rest of pony kind who hunted all of the above races for not being 'True ponies’ for over 900 years before Nightmare stepped in to protect them from normal ponies. What caused her to snap and start the war was Celestia taking the side of the normal ponies, who had already planned to set the two sisters against each other. After the Crystal Empire fell to Sombra, the three tribes blamed Luna and Selene for Sombra and all of those who stood by them.

“Celestia took the side of the nobility, who wanted to pursue a Genocide route because of a broken heart and a newfound distrust of both of my Mothers’ and their efforts to save the minority groups from persecution and annihilation. Celestia had just gotten over the pain of her love dying against Sombra and had seen Luna and Selene as Nightmare for the First time as the Empire fell. Luna and Selene told her who they were and Celestia took this Selene as an evil entity controlling her beloved sister Luna and attacked both the Night Alicorns. Both Luna and Selene only fought to leave but during the battle, they wounded Celestia and fled to me.

“At first all we did was run and protect the ponies who were being attacked but after Celestia announced that Luna and Selene were Enemies of the Kingdom, we became hunted all the time and I would reach out to the leaders of the shifters. From there we started fighting back but throughout the war, Luna and Selene relied on their Nightmare form more and more, and so fell deeper and deeper in the unstable chaos that created that form thereby eventually losing their sanity. I was their only anchor at that time but they still fell because I was out on the front lines more often than not back then. Celestia sent Nightmare a message asking to talk in their old home in the Everfree. Still somewhat sane both my mothers agreed. But unbeknownst to all three alicorns Celestia’s Nobles had tracked me down and were bringing me to my old home as well to kill all of us and place Celestia on the throne as a puppet ruler whose mind had been broken by grief.

“So when Nightmare showed up they took Luna’s form hoping that this would keep my Aunt from out right attacking. But as she was about to enter the nobles holding me grouped up with me restrained at the front this angered them but they remained stable. Then the unicorn prince at the time Prince Blackblood shot me with an overpowered version of the executioner's spell and knocked me out. When I came to Celestia had just used the Elements of Harmony to send Nightmare to the moon and when I asked her what she had done she used her own life force to power the elements and shot me through time. As you all know now the two alicorns that make up Nightmare Moon are insane, but they still responded to my appearance and retreated to the old castle where the physical forms of the elements lie. I ask that nopony follow me except those who hope to have five princesses when I return. I have activated the Ursa Major shield to keep the town safe but after I leave and until I return or I’m dead that shield will stay up so if you want to come with me raise your hand now.”

Eight hands shot up each belonged to an alicorn. One each from Chrysalis and Moondancer, and the rest from the elements.

“Well, then I guess that’s everything. Does anypony have any questions?” Mayor Mare asked.

“I do!” Vinyl Scratch said. “Now that you’ve told the town about the war and the treaty can we show our true forms?”

“Sure, I won’t stop you.” I then turned to the guards, “And the guard currently present shall not persecute, nor discriminate against any minority race or species who reveal their true forms and prove themselves to belong to one of the minority groups. These newly revealed minority groups are to be treated with the rights and privileges afforded to any of the ponies identifying to one of the three tribes, just as they will be expected to abide by the laws and legislature of the Kingdom of Equestria. Any guard discovered to have persecuted, assaulted, or discriminated against the newly revealed minority groups will be subject to a military tribunal court martial. Only in cases of violence and violent crimes may a guard employ an appropriate takedown measures or lethal action as necessary.”

“Yes my lady!” they responded

“Good. Ok girls, Let loose and let’s get galloping!” I said as I left town hall.
