The Castle of Friendship that night....

A cloud of blue mist slipped through the cracks in the door of the Castle of Friendship. Once it was inside, the mist shifted back into Nightmare Moon. Using her magic, she felt around for the source of the powerful magic she had sensed earlier. "It's close. Very close." Moon soon picked up on a trail. "There you are...." Moon turned into mist again, and snaked her way along the trail of magic. And soon, she arrived at a pool of it. "Perfect. Just what I needed. Now for the next part..." Moon began to absorb the magic into her being and added it to her own. Slowly but surely, she felt herself begin to grow more solid. Once she had drained the pool dry. Soon, Nightmare stood in full form. But the only difference now was that she had no armor on her. Nightmare then used her magic to sense anymore of the same magic that had helped restore her, and found a small trail leading to a mirror. "What have we here?" Nightmare stepped up to the mirror and examined it. "So. This must be where that male alicorn came through. I wonder..." Nightmare stuck her hoof through the mirror. "It appears it's still open." Nightmare smiled. "Time to see where he came from." Nightmare walked through the mirror and found herself in the human world when she opened her eyes again. "So. This is the world that male alicorn came from." Nightmare then looked at her new reflection. Her hair looked like stars were swirling in it. Her outfit consisted of jeans, black high-heel boots, a black jacket, and an azure shirt. "This must be what the denizens of this world look like." Nightmare took a moment to admire her reflection. "Enough fun. On to business." Nightmare closed her eyes and entered the dreamscape. 

"Good. It looks like I can enter the dreamscape here as well." Nightmare drifted through the dreams of humans before she felt a familiar presence. "Strange. Feels like...." Nightmare came upon the dreams of the Mane 7. "So it appears this world has its own version of the Elements of Harmony." Nightmare then focused on Sunset. "And it appears I'm not the only one who came here from Equestria. But on to my main business." Nightmare scanned the dreamscape for a power similar to the one she had sensed in Equestria, and soon found one. "There you are..." Nightmare hovered over to the source. "Now to see his true form." Nightmare entered Burst's dreams. "Time to get a better look at you." Nightmare saw Burst hanging around the girls. "So he has a strong tie to this world's element bearers." Nightmare then observed Burst's dreams about Blue-Eyes. "He also shares a strong friendship with his cards." Nightmare froze when she saw Burst's most current dream. In it, Burst was resting under a tree with his head resting against Celestia. "So. He's close to the Celestia of this world." Nightmare entered the dream, and took Celestia's place. She took a moment to take in Burst's appearance. "So this is your true form.", Nightmare said with a smile. "That alicorn form didn't do you justice." Nightmare then ran her hand across Burst's cheek as he slumbered. "One would never guess so much power lies within you. You're like a sleeping dragon." Nightmare brought her face closer to Burst's. "Because of you, I have a new life. This should prove to be a token of my thanks." Nightmare then kissed Burst on the forehead. "That snowy white hair reflects your heart so well. Sleep well Burst Stream. For when you awake, we will meet again. And I will make you mine..." Nightmare returned the dream to normal and returned to her own dreams. Eagerly anticipating her next encounter with Burst.
