Rainbow Dash: The Fall of Equestria
Chapter 5: Nightmare Moon: The Battle on the Bridge
Previous Chapter Next ChapterNightmare Moon shot across the bridge, stabbing her horn into any and every enemy she could reach. Both Luna and herself vowed to destroy everything on this bridge, then, everything walking under Discord's banner. Nightmare moon, aided by Princess Luna would destroy Discord herself and free the land of his reign. A young black pony holding a long pike stood in Nightmare's way and she stabbed her horn into him and shook the body off her head without even breaking a stride.
Luna gave more of her magic to Nightmare as the princess watched the anarchy with glee. Before Luna hated the idea of Nightmare even being in her head, but now Luna had frees her darker self and was watching as the princess of the night swept across the bridge, felling enemy after enemy. Nightmare Moon shot some black lightning toward a big bug mutant thing and it exploded into a huge ball of puss and blood on impact.
Nightmare Moon had been killing stuff on the bridge for about twenty or so minutes and hadn't taken a single wound, the enemy were moving back as Nightmare swept through their ranks, but despite their attempts to flee or ignore Nightmare, they fell anyway. A few of the commando guards had began storming the bridge as well but Nightmare had pushed them away. Luna knew they were just trying to help, but Nightmare, and her own rage may have killed the guards by accident. Luna was confused as too why the battle was so easy and why Discord hadn't sent any tougher mutants for Luna and Nightmare to fight. Well, until some huge mutant giant thing climbed up the side of the bridge, taking a piece of the stone away and making a few dozen of its allies to fall to their deaths appeared. Nightmare gave a laugh at the huge monster in front of her and shot a massive purple fireball at the thing. Apart from it falling back a few steps, the thing seemed fine. Nightmare gave a smile, Luna gave her some magic and together they shot the biggest spell of fire and lightning and plasma they could conjure up. The huge ball of sparking magic shot from Nightmare's black horn and hit the giant, making it explode and blow up part of the bridge, sending even more of the enemy falling to a rocky grave.
More giants began storming the bridge and Nightmare moon, and Luna shot lightning toward the enemy, blowing tones up at a time. One got really close to Nightmare moon, but she barrel rolled around it and shot it in the back. A huge boil thing exploded on impact, shooting puss everywhere, the thing fell dead and Nightmare moon charged at the still oncoming enemy. A few dragons flow over and Nightmare began shooting up at them too, burning their wings off so they would die slow or get crushed under their own weight when they crashed into the ground.
Suddenly there was a cruel, deep laugh. It came slow, and neither Nightmare nor Luna knew where it had come from. Nightmare looked around quickly then, he appeared. Everyone of his armies stopped fighting and bowed, many at the gates getting shot down or stabbed, but none did anything to defend themselves. Discord, their leader and God, had arrived.
"Ah, Princess Luna. You're changed." Discord mocked. Luna was continuously feeding Nightmare Moon her magic now, only to stop when she ran out. She had read about a massive spell, used in one of the old wars with the things of Everfree forest. AtomicFire, Luna would use it. No matter the cost.
"Changed for the better Discord!" Nightmare shouted. Trying to stall so Luna could prepare herself.
"What do you mean by that? You cannot defeat me, I am a God. You are just a little pony." Discord replied.
"But why do you do this, we did nothing to you." Nightmare asked.
"You and Celestia imprisoned me in stone. Remember."
"Yes, all too well, but why become God of Chaos, you had everything. Even Celestia." Nightmare's voice became smaller, attempting to sound humble. 'Nearly there.' Luna said. 'Keep it up.'
"She never loved me." Discord replied. "Look at me."
"She loved you Discord, but then you killed her. Broke her heart."
"Well now she knows what I felt."
"She never broke your heart, she always loved you." Discord was silenced. Luna gave the okay and Nightmare began the spell. Putting little magic on her horn in case the God saw what she was doing. He looked to the ground but then laughed.
"But you know what Luna, I like Chaos." Discord said and began to walk towards her. 'Come on!'
"And that is your downfall." Then the spell was complete, Nightmare released the spell, and the world turned white.
