Not a crossover series. I promise. It was just a funny reference. You'll understand in a minute...

Me and Luna held each other tightly as we looked up in horror. Celestia was gently flapping her wings above us and looking down almost menacingly. "How did you find us?" I managed to say.

"For somepony who's magical level is as high as mine, it's very easy to track the source of a magic spell. Especially one as powerful as raising the moon."

Luna lost her breath. "Now," Celestia continued. "Things will go forward from here as I said earlier. Emerald, you will be taken to the torture chambers for treason against this country. Luna, your baby shall be born and his past shall be erased from history."

I focused on my anger and rage. I tried to cast the same spell I cast back at the palace. but to no avail. Celestia laughed. "You think I haven't learned from our previous encounter, young one? I've put a shield on your magic." I continued to try to shoot even the tiniest spell at her. Celestia just continued to laugh.

"Now then, she said as she clapped her forehooves together. Let's be off." I pull Luna in close to me.

"It's going to be alright," I say while engaging her in a kiss.

Celestia looks back. "Ew! Get a bucking room!"

I look up at her and say, "That's what we were trying to do. But somepony ruined it. Any idea who that could be?"

Celestia's eyes filled up with rage as Luna said, "Emerald! Don't say anything else to antagonize her. She's already angry enough as it is."

I still laughed as I saw the rage in Celestia's eyes. I suddenly felt myself floating above the ground. But this time, there was no powerful magic surge. No blinding green lights. This time, I was in Celestia's grasp. She proceeded to hold me out above the cliff. For those who don't know, there is a big cliff down to where the tree of harmony is. "Do you want to run that by me again?"

I laugh and say, "From the way you look, I'd say you hardly run at all." I looked over and Luna was running a hoof across her neck, clearly telling me to cut it out.

Celestia looked me in the eyes. "I have half a mind to kill you right now. In fact, I think I will." I felt her magical grasp leave me. Luna screamed and ran over to the cliff. Looking down however, she didn't see me. I flapped my wings over head and looked more at Celestia with an amused grin on my face. "Hey dumbass! I'm a pegasus remember. I may not know much about magic, but I know plenty about flying.

Celestia yelled with rage, You're both coming with me. Against some resistance, she took our hooves and I felt the strange sensation of what Luna called "Traveling by the moonlight." When we emerged, we were in the throne room. Celestia spoke, "Guards, do what was asked of you earlier." She pointed a hoof at me. "Make sure that one is shown no mercy."

Luna yelled and ran towards me. She grabbed me in her hooves while I felt tears going down my back. "NO!" Luna shouted at her sister. "If e goes to the torture chamber, I go to the torture chamber."

Celestia laughed. "No dear sister, I could never do such a thing to you." Luna was encased in a white aura as I felt her get magically ripped away from me. She was put back down on the ground about twenty yards from me. "Now, I suggest you comply, or he dies right now." Luna sat still. Her eyes were stained with tears.

I could only think about the things I wanted to do to Celestia right now. I still couldn't believe she could be this cruel to her own sister. Her own flesh and blood. But then i heard the words I dreaded.

"Guards, you know what to do..."

I woke up strapped down to a table in the middle of a dark room. My hooves were strapped down and my neck had a metal band around it. I looked around as best I could. This didn't look like much of a torture chamber. I didn't see any torture instruments. Not even some pair of rusty scissors.

I heard a door slam open and I watched as the white alicorn walked in. It was dark yes, but there was no mistaking that mane for anypony else's.

She walked over to me and chuckled as I struggled against my bonds. "What are you doing Celestia! This is going way too far!" I tried yelling at her but she just stared back at me.

"Tell me, young one," She said while looking down upon me. My mind burned with disgust as she uses the same name Luna called me on our first night. "Have you ever heard the myth of the rainbow factory?"

I scoffed at her. "I grew up in Cloudsdale. Of course I know that story."

Celestia frowned. "Yes, well unfortunately for me, it is but a myth. But trust me, had it been real, I would be the first pony to throw you head first into that machine."

"What did you do to Luna?"

Celestia stomped her hoof on the table. "Do not mention my sister's name again. As far as I'm concerned you are no longer associated with her in any way."

A small tear rolled down my cheek as I realized that I may never see her again. "Tell me, Emerald, By what means can an alicorn die?"

I kept still with my mouth closed. Celestia chuckled a little. "I hoped you would pick the hard way." She walked behind me and I strained in an attempt to see what she was doing. I heard the sound of a flipping switch and quickly felt the shock of hundreds of volts of electricity going through my body.

I screamed in anguish and yelled, "SUICIDE OR MURDER!!!"

Celestia flipped the switch back and the shock stopped. I could still feel my body twitching uncontrollably. "That is absolutely correct Emerald. Suicide or murder. Now, I'm not going to kill you. Do you know what that would look like? The princess killing the newly created prince? But by the time I'm done, you might prefer the first option."

She flipped the switch again. This time not stopping for about two minutes. I could feel my body shutting down. I didn't know how much more of this I could take. I just hoped Luna was okay. I managed to stammer out a few words. "T-Tell me this,"

"Oh?" Celestia asked turning around.

I continued, "You said Luna cannot marry anypony besides an alicorn." Celestia nodded and I continued, "Then why are you still against us? I'm an alicorn now."

Celestia sighed. "You are not a good pony Emerald. Not in my mind at least. You became an alicorn through defiance. That doesn't sit well with me." I felt a weird sensation on my horn. Almost as if pressure had been released. "I have released control of your horn. Your bindings are under my control still. As long as you touch them, any teleportation powers are unusable. There is still one option though..."

I laughed, "Shoot you and knock you out again?"

She laughed back, "Nice try. Not this time. I have a magical protection field around me at this time. Here is your one option."

She levitated a knife over to me and laid it on my chest. "I think even a new unicorn such as yourself sohuld be able to manage a levitation spell. As for the knife, I think you know what to do with that..."

She walked out of the room and left me alone. I looked at the knife and scowled at it with anger. If she thinks I'm going to kill myself, she's crazy. There must be another way out...

Luna sat in her room. She was unsure what to feel. She knew her sister would be back any minute. She was under orders to stay in this room. The windows were locked from Celestia's power and the walls were reinforced. Finally, she heard the door knob jiggling and Celestia walked into the room.

Luna ran over to he and started hitting her with a hoof. "What did you do to him!"

Celestia pushed Luna to the side gently. "I gave him his choice."

"What choice is that?"

"None of your concern." Luna sat back down on her bed, crying. "I hope you know sister, I do this for your own protection."

Luna's head swam with thoughts. Maybe it's finally time for me to stand up for myself... She should not have the right to treat me like this. A thought came to Luna and she looked up at Celestia. "Sister? Why did you send him to the torture chambers?"

Celestia sighed and said, "He is not a good pony. Plus, he attacked royalty. That is considered treason to this country and the law states that everypony who commits treason should be punished severely."

Luna laughed. Celestia had fallen right into her trap. "Celestia, what did you do to him?"

Celestia laughed a little. "Let's just say I gave him a little shock back to reality."

Luna laughed back. "Hah! Then you committed treason as well!"

Celestia's face grew dark. "What?"

"Twilight Sparkle herself said that, as an alicorn, Emerald is a prince. You harmed royalty. That's treason!"

Celestia's face sat still for a second. Processing what she had just heard. She smirked back at her sister. "Well played sister. But you forget who passes the laws in this country. I can make a nice little document restating the rules for treason. Harming royalty would not be included."

"Checkmate, sister." Luna said. "If you pass such a law, then you have nothing to hold Emerald with. Imagine what the public will do when they learn that heir princess is torturing ponies for absolutely no reason."

Celestia's face was shocked. "You make a valid point sister."

Luna smiled. "How about this, a deal."

"What do you propose?"

"Let me and Emerald go. We will have out foal and they will stay in our possession. You will never see us again. That does seem to be what you wanted yesterday."

Celestia's face changed from shock to sadness. "I can never see you again?" Luna nodded. For the first time Luna had seen, Celestia shed a tear. She nodded. "If that is the only way."

Luna nodded. "You did a great job backing yourself into a corner. I pray that this makes you think better about your own life. Whoever you marry doesn't need to be an alicorn sister. Find somepony who will make you happy."

Me and Luna walked out of the castle. "You know," I say, "I think it's very bad luck for us to enter this castle."

Luna laughed and nodded. We flew back to my house. about halfway through the flight, Luna had to pause to raise the moon. I enjoyed flying in the glory of the moonlight. When we landed at my house, we stepped inside hoof in hoof. We laid down in bed and fell asleep next to each other.

But what I didn't know, was that this story was still far from over. In fact, something would happen in a few moons that would change our lives forever.
