My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

Of Ponies and Humans

Chapter 19

Night of Evil

After receiving the letter from Cadence; Twilight, Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Halo, Zilver, Shadow, Derpy, Requiem, Aura, Ash, Jax, Bahamut, Spike, and Sora left for the Gryphon Kingdom to find the Reversal Spell for the human-turned Ponies. What they don’t know is that this journey is going to be a lot tougher then it sounds.

They arrived in the kingdom with no trouble but are informed of a curfew in place due to the impending threat of a slave trade going on. They are to meet with the king tonight and find out where the reversal spell to this predicament is.

There, Dash had a very brief reunion with Gilda and met back up with her friends from her foalhood. Also, Twilight finds out she’s gonna be a aunt when Cadence reveals she’s pregnant… and was for 3 months prior to the Changeling’s botched invasion. Guess even Ponies can’t resist the call of the wild when it hits, huh?

Now, after many days of waiting and searching, the location of the Reversal Spell is about to be revealed, and with Trixie, Fluttershy, and Marble on their way, this is gonna get worse before it gets better.

Upon meeting with the king Zaltan, who’s very laidback for a ruler, and who‘s daughter who summoned them who turned out to be Gilda, informs them of a fortress Nightmare Moon had in the area during her uprising. Hopefully, there’s a reversal spell inside that can change them back. And soon cause it turns out this spell has a side-effect. In 50 days, the affected will die by a brain tumor. It’s been 48 days and Derpy’s starting to feel the effects.

They have no time to waste.

On the way, the humans ran into a old foe from one of the worlds they visited: the Green Death, a massive dragon from Berk. They quickly defeat it with unexpected help from Gilda and Jax‘s signature spell, Indignation. the enemy destroyed, they continue on their way to the mountain.

Upon arriving at the base of the tall and lonely mountain, they start to climb but quickly run into trouble as a giant raven tries to turn them into lunch. It ends up becoming fried chicken as Aura and Bahamut kicked it’s ass.

They arrive at the Fortress, which is as big as Buckingham Palace, and split up to find the spell somewhere in the castle, unaware that they are being watched.

After hours of searching, they find both the library holding the Reversal Spell and a lab used by Nightmare Moon. Upon activating any type of spell, doesn’t matter which, a machine will activate, using the life-force of test-subjects taken over the years by a mechanical gryphon to revive the Queen of the Night, which explains why no one returned from going to investigate the place. Unfortunately, the main group didn’t hear about it in time.

The Reversal Spell is cast and everypony transformed wee changed back into ponies, and in the nick of time too as they were getting dangerously close to the death point. Unfortunately, that caused the machine to activate and demolish half the castle and kill the subjects in the process.

Nightmare Moon has been reborn.

The moon shone brighter then it did before. The dark clouds stayed up in the sky and continued to swirl around.

Nightmare Moon gave a wicked and evil smile before laughing evilly into the sky.

The Mane6 were distrat to see that their original foe is back from beyond. “Nightmare Moon?” Applejack asked.

Nightmare Moon snickered. “hmhmhmhm. In the flesh, Honest Applejack.”

“you remember us?” Dash asked.

“of course I do, Loyal Rainbow Dash. And I know of your human friends as well; the Demi-Goddess Requiem, the Mage Jax, the Gunslinger Ash. The new ponies, not so.”

“and how do you know about us?” Ash asked with a raised eyebrow.

“though Princess Luna. You see, I wasn’t destroyed, but merely… pushed into hibernation, if you will. While pushed deep into Luna’s mind, I still heard and saw everything that transpired; Luna’s first Nightmare Night. the return of Discord. The Changeling attack. And the human transformation.”

“spending 1000 years on the moon then 2 years in the back of someone’s mind. I’ve been though that. Not pretty.” Sora said.

“it was a thousand years of pure hell, being trapped for all that time. I’m surprised Luna was able to keep her mind for as long as she did. I could barely survive 2 years. She survived 1000. She has more willpower then me.”

“you’re talking about her as if you aren’t an extension of her. Why?” Rarity asked.

“because I am not a extension of Luna, Generous Rarity.”

“What do you mean?”

“She said it in her note.” Jason said, holding it. “she said that Luna was the host. Which means Nightmare Moon may have been a parasite feeding off her.”

“So what are you then? A Changeling Goddess or something?” Pinkie asked.

“do not associate me with those heathens, Laughable Pinkie Pie. I was created by Discord just moments before he was turned into stone by Luna and Celestia in their golden days. I waited and waited for 900 years for the opportune moment to take over Luna’s body. Thankfully, I didn’t have to wait long. Her jealously for Celestia getting all the glory and the fame reached a bubbling point but her love for her sister. But her sisterly love prevented her from doing it; it still overpowered the jealously. One possession later…”

“and Luna began her uprising.” Twilight concluded. “so it WAS all Discord’s doing. I knew I wasn’t jumping to conclusions.”

“Correct, o Magical Twilight Sparkle. But Celestia banishing me and her to the moon was unexpected but I anticipated she’d try something.”

“hence the revival machine of yours.” Halo said, looking back to the tube behind Nightmare Moon.

“what happened to Luna? Are you still in her body?” Spike asked.

“no no no. this is my own body, made from the remains of those foolish enough to investigate my fortress. Molding them to look like my exquisite self took many bodies but, you know what they say, Curiosity killed the cat.

Bahamut snarled as Aura reached back to grab his lance. “that’s… that’s monstrous.” Requiem gasped. “you know how many may have had families who were worried about them?”

“should I? I really don’t care what happens to anyone. Well…” Nightmare Moon’s horn started to glow. “…anyone except those present.”

“What?”

0:00.

A ball of dark light appeared at the tip of her horn. With a snicker, she fired it at the group. They barely had time to react before it hit, exploding like a freight train hit them.

They were sent falling in separate directions, hitting the floor and the wall.

Nightmare Moon laughed at the pathetic sight. “oh, I love it when they all squirm. Makes it more fun that way.”

Aura grunted as he struggled to get up, using his lance to do so. “you’re messed up.”

“Why thank you for the compliment, Aura.” Nightmare Moon said before blasting him again. She then turned her attention to another person. She used her magic to pulled Twilight towards her.

0:31.

“I feel like taking all of my frustrations out on you, you flawed creature.” Nightmare Moon’s horn glowed again.

Chains appeared and whapped around Twilight. They squeezed down hard on her, causing her to scream loudly.

“TWI!” Halo yelled.

0:46.

Nightmare Moon snickered as she use her magic to pull the chains tighter around Twi, making her scream louder. “I am going to enjoy every waking minute of this.”

Twi barely managed to open one eye. “Why? Why are you doing this to me?” she grunted.

“Simple.” Nightmare Moon used her magic to slam Twi into the floor for a moment. “I am going to make you pay for every single second I spent trapped in Luna’s mind for the past 2 years. Why you? Simple. I’m just evil that way.”

Nightmare Moon continually slammed Twilight into the floor. That, coupled with the chains, gave Twi new meaning of the word ‘pain’.

Nightmare Moon blasted the group again, keeping them down a lot longer.

Twi hit the ground again. This time, Nightmare Moon pressed down on her neck with her hoof, putting on the pressure.

Req got up off the floor, wiped her mouth clear of blood, gripped her sword, and charged Nightmare Moon.

Nightmare Moon noticed this and smirked. Her form dissolved into mist. Req swung right her the mist, where the bad guy’s neck would be, and stopped on the other side.

“oh. Didn’t expect that, did you?” Nightmare Moon gloated as her physical form returned. “That’s the thing of having my own body. I can do whatever I want with it.”

Req swung her sword, creating a gust of wind. Moon blocked the majority against her with her wings but it wasn’t meant for her. The gust sent Twilight back to the group.

Moon snarled when she saw this. “how about that, prissy? Guess you’re not as powerful as you claim to be.” Req smirked.

“keep in mind that I was reborn a few minutes ago. And Luna gave me the power I needed to keep going.” that gave her a devious idea. “I still need a host.” she snickered.

Req knew what she was leading towards and readied her blade.

1:40.

Nightmare Moon rose up into the air, dissolved back into mist, and lunged at Requiem.

2:01. End Song.

Jax’s glowing chakram cut though the chains Nightmare Moon summoned. Twi took in a deep breath and coughed loudly.

“that was… that was nightmarish.” Twi coughed.

“well, it is in her name.” Jax said. She gave a slight chuckle. Everyone gave her a mean leer.

“not a good time for a joke, Jax.” her human friends with half-closed eyes.

“hey, where’s Req?” Rarity pointed out.

“And Nightmare Moon, for that matter.” Shadow added.

Everyone looked around, trying to find them both.

Requiem walked up from where she was, sword still in hand.

“there she is.” Sora said. She ran on over to her, both stopping half-way. “what happened to Nightmare Moon?” Req said nothing and just stood there. Aura got a bad feeling and walked over. “Req?” Sora asked again.

Requiem smirked.

She quickly raised her head, moved her sword back, and proceeded to stab Sora. Aura grabbed Sora and pulled her down before the sword could connect.

They both hit the floor. Aura quickly let go and got up. “Requiem, are you crazy?”

Req snickered as she looked at him. Her eyes were different. They were silvery and reptilian. “I‘m afraid Requiem isn‘t able to answer at this time. I‘m afraid she‘s now trapped in the recesses of her mind” Nightmare Requiem said.

Aura snarled and quickly pulled out his lance. Ash quickly came over with pistols drawn. “What did you do to Requiem, you bitch?” Aura snarled.

“I just told you. I took over her body and put her personality as far back into her mind as I could. For one who looked like a skank, she’s surprisingly strong-willed.”

“Let. Her. Go.” Aura demanded.

“I’m afraid not. She’s currently fighting off some particularly bad memories, including a horrible thing you commented on her.”

Aura growled as his lance started to glow red. “Nightmare, let Requiem go now.” Twilight demanded.

“not a chance. Luna may have been powerful but she was no Goddess. You can only dream to imagine the sheer power flowing though her veins.” Nightmare Requiem raised her arms to the sky. “I have more power then Discord, Celestia, and Luna combined could ever dream of. They may’ve been powerful but they could hardly be called almighty. With this power, I will conquer more then this pitiful world, but the stars as well. Nothing will stand in my way!”

“well, there’s one hitch in your galactic conquest plan, little Ms. Prissy Pants.” Twi said as she and the others took battle positions. “there’s still us.”

Nightmare Requiem feigned at the sight. “Oh, mercy me. What will I do?” she chuckled afterwards. “you can’t beat me. You’re short one Kind Fluttershy. And even if you did have her, you wouldn’t attack me without harming your friend.”

Aura snarled as his body began to glow red. “I am going to make you pay for this, you equine bitch!”

N.R. snickered evilly. “can you, without hurting your girlfriend?” she pointed the sword at them and fired a beam of darkness. It hit, causing a explosion that sent them crashing back into the walls and floor.

Nightmare Requiem was pleased by the power in the blade. “well. This is quite the powerhouse. let’s see how well it does with what I have in store.” the sword glowed black. N.R. swung it to the side then thrust it skyward. A beam of dark light shot up into the clouds.

The darkest black started spreading out, covering the sky.

“what’s she doing?” Bahamut asked as the wind picked up.

“what she set out to do last time; put the world in eternal night.” Twi forebodingly said.

The dark clouds rumbled as they covered the skies in eternal night. Slowly, It spread to the Gryphon Kingdom. From the capital city, you could clearly see the beam, laced with electricity, shooting up from the mountain and into the clouds, creating the dark barrier. Everyone looked up in fear as the darkness spread.

“oh, that can not be good.” Whooves said as he, Armor & Cadence, and Vinyl & Octavia looked out of Derpy’s hospital window.

Something whooshed over the city, creating quite a back draft behind it. Derpy woke up from that sound, the pain long gone, and looked out the same window to see a giant monster flying for the mountain

“That’s it. That’s the monster that stranded Req and her friends on our world.” Vinyl exclaimed.

“That thing!?” Armor and Cadence both exclaimed in surprise and fear.

Armor looked back out the window. “what did Twili get herself in now?”

Nightmare Requiem removed the sword from the beam, but it kept on doing what it’s doing.

“now, since I’m in such a placid mood, I’m gonna let you choose who I kill first.” nobody said a word, just gave her nasty glares. “Suit yourself.” she reared the sword back, which glowed black, and started to swing it towards them when a lavender beam hit her in the shoulder. She held it in pain and looked to her left to see Twi standing there, horn glowing and ready to attack again. “guess you die first. Although I wanted to have my fun torturing you.”

Nightmare Requiem swung the sword at Twilight, sending a beam tipped with a roaring Dragon head at Twi. Twi readied her magic, ready to counter, when she was suddenly pushed out of the way.

Twi rolled along the ground as the person who pushed her took the brunt of the attack.

End Song.

Twilight stopped rolling and quickly looked up to see the aquamarine pony who pushed her away get blasted out of the smoke. “Trixie?”

Trixie skipped along the ground twice before crashing into the rubble that held the door shut. “Trixie!” Twilight exclaimed as she ran on over to the badly beaten and wounded magician.

“Sis!” Halo and Zilver surprising asked as they ran to her side as well.

“well, this was unexpected.” Nightmare Requiem smirked.

Twi grabbed Trixie and tried to shake her awake. “Trixie! Trixie! Wake up!” Trixie didn’t reply as her head just hung. A hopeless feeling fell over Twi, Halo, and Zilver. “Trix?” still no response. Tears started falling from Twilight’s face. “no. no no no no no no no. you can’t be dead. You can’t be dead. You just can‘t be dead.”

Fluttershy and Marble ran in though a hole in the wall and saw the dead unicorn on the ground. Fluttershy gasped and held her hooves to her mouth. “oh… oh no.”

Twilight cried and held Trixie close. Halo and Zilver cried as well. Everyone else started to feel the pain they were feeling now. “Trixie, I’m sorry. I’m so so sorry.” Twi cried as she held her.

Sora held her bow hard enough to make her hand bleed. She turned her attention to Nightmare Requiem who just stood there with a smile.

“oh, I’m positively giddy.” N.R. giggled. “my first kill of the night. Too bad it wasn’t who I wanted.”

Twi‘s anguish was replaced with anger; a rage to kill. She gently set Trixie down on the floor and she got up. “how? How can you be so cold-blooded?!” she yelled.

“Simple…” Nightmare Requiem said. She flipped the sword and raised it up. “I have no heart.”

The Dread of Night - Kingdom Hearts 3D: DreamDropDistance OST

The sword vibrated and glowed as N.R. wickedly smiled.

She slammed it into the ground, causing a glyph to appear under her. Tendrils came out of the glyph and shot towards everyone.

“Move it!” Ash yelled. Everyone yelled as they ducked behind rubble, shielding themselves from Nightmare Requiem’s attack.

The tendrils snapped across the hall, destroying everything in their path and breaking down walls.

Twilight grabbed Trixie’s body and pulled her behind a downed pillar where she, Jax, Halo, Fluttershy, Marble, and Zilver were taking cover.

“What in Tartarus is going on here?” Marble demanded. “We arrive and Requiem’s attacking you?”

“it’s a long story, short version is that the Reversal Spell activated a machine that revived Nightmare Moon without using Luna. Now she’s possessed Requiem and using her body.” Halo explained.

“oh. Glad we got the short version.” Marble joked.

“Now is not the time for that!” Jax exclaimed.

Nightmare Requiem evilly laughed as her back glowed. Wings as black as night came out of the glow. N.R. rose up into the air, arms spread wide.

The darkness continued to spread across the planet.

The citizens of Ponyville looked up to the sky to see the spreading dark clouds.

“hold me, Bonbon.” Lyra comedicly said, hugging Bonbon tight. Bonbon angrily looked down at her.

“I don’t like this. I don’t like this. I don’t like this.” Dinky kept repeating that over and over and over, rocking herself in a corner.

“she hate the dark or something?” Applebloom asked Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo. They just shrugged in reply..

The tendrils continued to destroy the fortress while everyone cowered behind what little cover they had. Happy at this, Nightmare Requiem laughed at the sight.

“I’m really started to hate that bitch!” Jax growled, pulling her head back before a tendril hit her.

“welcome to the club.” Zilver angrily said. He wanted Nightmare Moon dead for killing Trixie.

A tendril hit near Bahamut’s position. “Wait. Jax, weren’t you working on a new spell; one you created?”

“you mean Personality Shift?” Jax replied, wondering if that’s what he was talking about.

“perso-what now?” Aura asked. he and Shadow quickly ducked to avoid a tendril.

“it’s a spell I created.” she brought up one of her chakrams. “it’s supposed to work in one of two ways. It can split the person used on it into 2 different people; one good, one evil.”

A tendril hit near Applejack’s and Spike’s position. “and the other thing?” Spike asked.

Jax glanced back at Nightmare Requiem, who hovered above the zone like a angel of death. “Exorcise the Possessor out of the Possessee.”

Rarity and Jason nervously looked at each other. “will it work?” she asked.

“I don’t know. I never used it before. This would be it’s trial run.”

Aura grunted in anger. He didn’t like it but it was their best shot at the moment. “we got no choice.” he readied his lance. “we’ll distract Re-- I mean Nightmare Moon. Meanwhile, you get that spell ready. And hope it doesn’t kill Req.”

End Song.

Shadow Queen (True Form part 2) - Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door OST

Jax looked up at Req. she didn’t like it as well but what choice did they have? She nodded to Aura. Aura nodded back. “everyone got that?” he called out. Everyone nodded back, even the not-timed Fluttershy.

Aura nodded back at them as his body glowed red.

Nightmare Requiem chuckled evilly as she hovered in midair and looked Nexus Ultimus over. “such a gorgeous weapon. Why is something this beautiful in the hands of such a timid girl?”

A sudden plume of red came from below. N.R. snickered, knowing full well who it was. Aura shot up from below and quickly arrived at her position. He swung his lance at Nightmare Requiem, who blocked it quite easily.

“I know you won’t harm your girlfriend, Aura Aesir. You love her too much for that. Guess that day you broke her heart helped solidify that for you.” N.R. said with a smirk.

“Shut up!” Aura snarled.

“maybe she would be better off with that Sopa fellow. I wonder, after I defeat you, should I go look him up?” she egged on.

Aura figured out Nightmare’s plan and didn’t let it get to him. “sorry, you equine bitch, but you’re not gonna snap me so easily.” Aura glanced up at a blue streak in the sky. “I’m sure of that.”

Aura quickly kicked back from Nightmare Requiem. She regained her posture and moved to attack when she was slammed into by Bahamut.

The 2 fell to the ground, Bahamut biting into his ‘mother’s’ arm.

“ah, Bahamut. The hybrid rejected by his own kind back home. Tell me, how does it feel knowing that your own species despises you?”

Bahamut ignored her and slammed her right into the floor. N.Req blasted Bahamut off of her and quickly got up.

She heard the clicking of a hammer and the pulling of strings. She quickly ducked to the side, avoiding a Mana Bolt and a Arrow fired by Ash and Sora.

Sora drew her short sword with her arrow hand and she and Ash charged Nightmare Requiem. She quickly ducked, put the sword into the ground, and grabbed them by the necks. She proceeded to squeeze them. Hard. “oh, the secrets you 2 have trusted into Requiem. I’m sure Jacqueline will be devastated if she hears the 2 of you are in a relationship.”

Ash gurgled as Nightmare Requiem laid on the squeeze. “you really need to learn to shut up!” he was able to spit out.

The clicking of hooves reached N.R. too little too late as Applejack and Rainbow Dash bucked her in the back, forcing her to release Sora and Ash.

Jason, Gilda, and Fluttershy flew down from above, carrying a net. They landed and pulled it down, quickly trapping Nightmare Requiem under it. Twilight, Rarity, Halo, and Shadow used their magic to enchant it to the ground.

“See that. That’s how we do it in our town.” Pinkie gloated. Gilda gave her a suspicious glare. “What? I heard Satoshi say it.”

Nightmare yelled, blasting the net off. She quickly got up, grabbed Twilight, and put the blade up to her neck. “hehe. Nice try.” Halo and Jason tried to move in but Nightmare put it closer to Rare’s neck. “nu-uh-un. One wrong step and the Unicorn get’s it.”

Halo got angry, angrier then anyone else. “you touch one hair on her head, I will--”

Nightmare laughed at the notion. “you’ll what? Kill me? What can you do? What can any of you do? I got the upper hand now. And there ain’t nothing you can do about it?”

“no? then try this on for size.” someone said behind her. Nightmare was blasted by behind by a beam attack. She was pushed away from Rarity and slammed into a wall.

Trixie heavily panted, her horn glowing a combination of green and red. “keep your hands off my future sister-in-law.”

“Trixie!” Halo cheered. He and Zil ran over and hugged their sister, who went bug-eyed in pain.

“Pain. Pain. Giving me unbridled pain.” she grunted though her teeth.

“Sorry. We thought you were dead.” Zil cried, still hugging her.

Trix sputtered. “it’s gonna take more then that to defeat the Great and Powerful Trixie.”

Twi joined in on the hug, which surprised both her and Halo. “it’s just good to see you alive, Trix.” Trixie smiled.

“think we can hold off until we defeated the bad guy!?!” Aura yelled, pointing at Nightmare Requiem.

N.R. groaned as she got up.

A red beam wrapped around her right arm, catching her off guard. It squeezed her enough to force her to drop the sword. A aquamarine beam wrapped around her left arm. A white and blue beam wrapped around her left and right legs respectively.

“What is this?” Nightmare Requiem yelled as Rarity, Halo, Shadow, and Zilver held her down.

“one forced Exorcism, you equine bitch.” Twi said, quoting Aura while being held aloft by Bahamut. She fired a beam from her horn that wrapped around Nightmare Requiem’s neck and waist. “Now, Jax!” she yelled out.

Jax nodded. “sure hope this works.” she whined. She closed her eyes and began concentrating. A tan glyph appeared beneath her while her chakrams flew up along side her and started spinning around and around, gaining speed as they went along. Her voice echoed as she began to cast the spell.

“oh, powers of the infinite mind that we can only dream of grasping…”

Nightmare struggled to get loose but the Unicorns held her down tight.

“…let us bring break the bonds of reality and back to us the ones we love or separate the good from the evil…”

Nightmare continued to struggle and was able to break Trixie’s spell. She used her free arm to try and break the others.

“…let us dive into the stream of time and space and do the impossible!”

Jax snapped open her eyes. A white blade materialized on front of her. She quickly grabbed it and charged Nightmare Requiem.

N.R. blasted the floor with a fireball spell but Jax just jumped on over it. “PERSONALITY SHIFT!!!” she yelled as she swung down on Nightmare Requiem’s head.

N.R. yelled as a blinding flash of light followed, quickly covering everyone and illuminating the top of the mountain like a star.

End Song.

The dark storm slowed to a halt above the equator, leaving the inhabitants there confused as to why it stopped.

Jax groaned as she woke up with a headache. “oh, god. I pray this isn’t a hangover.” she groaned as she got up. She looked around the destroyed room and saw that everyone was also waking up.

“What… what happened?” a groggy Gilda asked.

Marble tried saying something but had a rock in his mouth. He spit it out and wiped out the taste. “did it work?

Jax stood up and cracked her back. First thing she spotted was Nightmare Moon’s body, though badly damaged. “I see the evil horse. Pretty beat up. Guess it worked.” she said confidently.

“yeah but {bleep}ed up Nightmare.” Twilight groaned.

“but where’s Requiem?” aura asked.

“yheread oghn tghoerp ofagerf mgre.” Requiem said, her head underneath Pinkie’s plot.

“oh. Sorry Req.” Pinkie apologized as she got up.

Requiem coughed as she got up. “that was *cough* that was something.” Req groaned. She licked her lips. “why do I taste Spam? And how do I know what Spam tastes like?”

“And there’s side-effect number 2.” Jax said, taking notes on the effects of her spell.

“You okay, Req?” Aura asked with concern.

“what was it like?” a curious Zilver asked.

“It was… it was something. Being forced back into the back of my mind, fighting all of my old foes in my mind and reliving my worst memories. It would break anyone.”

“Sorry about one of them.” Aura said, scratching his neck.

Req smiled and kissed him on the cheek. “Don’t worry about it.” she looked back behind Aura and saw Trixie. “Trixie? What are you doing here?”

“Oh, right. We were so busy, I completely forgot. Why are you here?” Twilight asked.

Trixie wasn‘t prepared for it being this sudden. “well… I came to… to apologize.”

“apologize?” Twilight asked with a raised eyebrow. “for what?”

“for being a idiot… for letting my dreams take over… and for this whole mess with turning you into humans and, I’m guessing, Nightmare Moon.”

Twilight just gave a breathing chuckle. She walked over and kissed Trixie on the forehead. “That ‘sacrifice’ of yours made up for it.” Trixie smiled back and blushed a little. “you do know that was a friendly peck, right?”

“oh, no yeah no, I know.” everyone agreed with her.

“okay, that explains you, but why are Fluttershy and Marble here?” Rare wondered.

“well, ever since you left, I had this sinking feeling that something terrible was going to happen.”

She and everyone else looked at Nightmare’s body. “Think that already came true.” Shadow joked. “so why’d you come, Marble?”

“I have my reasons.” he replied, front hooves folded in front of him.

“really?” Pinkie asked. “well, what are they?” Marble didn’t reply but he did blush a little. Pinkie huffed and climbed all over him like a spider. “Oh, PLEASE!!! Tell us, tell us, tell us?”

“no, now get off me.” Marble exclaimed, trying to get her off her back.

“Better give in. she ain’t gonna give up. Trust me. I know from experience.” Dash said.

The chatting eventually turned to laughter, everyone seemingly ignoring Nightmare Moon’s body.

Nightmare’s eyes suddenly shot open.

The wind picked up as thunder rumbled though the clouds.

“oh, that can’t be good.” Bahamut said. He and every other flyer furled up his wings to prevent being dragged away.

A vortex came down from the clouds and landed on top of Nightmare’s body. It slowly lifted her limp body off the ground.

“That is so not good.” Bahamut exclaimed. Nexus Ultimus reappeared in Requiem’s hands but she paid no mind.

Nightmare’s wounds instantly healed, jolting her back to life. She laughed as she continued to rise.

“What does it take to beat that bitch?” Aura angrily exclaimed.

“that would be the Elements of Harmony but those are back in Equestria. And even then it forced her into hibernation in Luna’s mind.” Twilight explained.

Nightmare stopped laughing and looked down on her foes. “well, that was certainly a impressive trick. Caught me AND Requiem completely off guard. Give yourself credit, Jax. You’ll die having gone down in history for making me stronger.”

“Stronger? How?” Jax asked.

Gilda groaned as she face-palmed. “you never ask a villain that.”

“cause while I was still in possession of Requiem’s body, I came across something… intriguing.” the blue image of a beast with four crab-like legs, a muscular torso, and a head in fire appeared beside her. Req gasped, instantly recognizing it. “something almost as powerful as her but much more tougher.”

“what the hell, What is that thing, Req?” Ash asked.

“that’s Catalyst. Or rather his demonic form.” Req explained, still in complete shock at seeing that image again.

“he had a demonic form? Wait, did you fight that thing by yourself?” Aura asked, pointing up at it.

“That she did, Aura Aesir.” Nightmare said, answering it for her. She snickered as her body began to dissolve into mist. “now it’s time for all of you to face that terror she face all by herself.” she said as her face began to dissolve. “and she barely got out with her life.”

Nightmare Moon laughed as evilly as she could and kept going for the remainder of this tune.

Her body dissolved into mist and began to take the form of that monstrous behemoth. The humans, ponies, gryphons, and dragons took battle positions as it began to take shape.

Nightmare Moon’s laughed echoed as the song ended.
