Twilight... A faint voice called out to Twilight. Twilight’s eyes groggily opened, the smudged face of Luna was in her vision. Her eyes closed again. Twilight... the voice called out again. Twilight opened her eyes again, this time her vision more clear. She was back in the library, she sat up rubbing the side of her head.
“How did I get back here?” She groaned.
“The spells effects came off when Nightmare Moon defeated you.” Luna replied. Just then Twilight remembered the fight she was just in and how easily defeated she was, she bowed her head down in shame.
“I’m sorry Luna,” She whimpered, “Not only have I failed you, but I have failed Celestia, I have failed my friends...” She began to cry, “Most of all, I failed all of Equastria.” She buried her face in the ground pounding her hoof on the ground.
Luna walked over to Twilight and placed a hoof on her shoulder, Twilight looked up, tears streamed down her face. “It’ll be alright Twilight, you will find another way. I believe in you.” Twilight wiped the side of her face and smiled.
Suddenly Luna took a step back wobbling around the floor, she grunted and put a hoof on her forehead. Twilight ran over to her, “Are you ok princess?” Twilight asked.
Luna huffed heavily, “I don’t know what's going on.” She replied, sweat began pouring down her face.
“Hold on Luna, I have a spell that can help.” Twilight’s prepared a spell as her horn glew a green aurora, but then Luna collapsed on the ground she let out a moan of pain, she pounded both of her hooves to her head. “Luna!” Twilight yelled in surprise.
Luna could barely speak, “I-It’s fi-fine...” she let out another moan, then the moan turned into screaming.
“Luna!” Twilight yelled.
Suddenly sparks began popping from the ground around Luna, then small flames of the color blue, then as if in an instant Luna was engulfed in the blue flames. Her screaming boomed through the walls of the library.
“Luna, what's going on?” Twilight used her magic to create water and sent it at the flames, but the water instantly disintegrated by the flames. Twilight panicked and tried using other elemental spells but nothing was working. Soon the screaming began to fade, Twilight began to cry fearing the worst.
Then she stopped crying when she heard what sounded like a faint chuckle, “Luna?” Twilight asked, then the chuckling turned into laughter. Twilight’s body shook at the sound of it, the laughing was not Luna’s it was Nightmare Moon’s. A gust of wind blew through the fire, putting out the torches that surrounded the library, the only thing that kept the room lit was the flames of the fire.
Through the flames a pair of eyes and a smile appeared, the floating pair got closer and closer to Twilight, she could see Nightmare’s face through the ripples of the flames. Twilight backed away and prepared a spell for attack. Nightmare walked right through the flames, none of them touching or burning her.
“Well hello darling.” She said. Twilight yelled and fired a blast of light at her but the blast too disintegrated by the flames. “I was hoping that the blast killed you, but you don’t always get what you want.” She laughed.
“What did you do with Luna.” Twilight demanded.
“Oh trust me, she’s long gone.” She laughed again. She examined the room that surrounded her, smiling at the view. “Well heres something new.” She commented, she looked down to the book that Luna had used and kicked it under her into the fire, engulfing it instantly.
“Hey, that was important.” Twilight stated.
“Oh I know.” Nightmare remarked. Using her magic she made every book fly off from their shelves and into the flames, they were all eaten instantly. “Well now,” Nightmare smiled, “I believe my time to strike has come, goodbye Twilight Sparkle.”
Twilight prepared a spell for attack, but nothing happened, her body couldn’t move. She opened her mouth to speak but it too did not move. “Surprised?” Nightmare asked. “Lets just say i’ve found a new way to cast spells.”
Twilight began to topple over to the side and her eyes got heavy, the last thing she saw before blacking out was that of Nightmare firing at the roof above her.

“Gee, I wonder what's taking them so long.” Applejack said concerned. The others waited upstairs for Twilight and Luna to return.
“Now, now Applejack, let them take their time. We wouldn’t want to rush anything would we.” Rarity replied.
Rainbow Dash flew over to the wall on the side of the room and inspected it, feeling the wall with her hoofs. “Well unlike you I can’t wait, this is getting boring. I’m going down there to see what’s taking them so long.”
Just then the room shook around them, the girls screamed as Fluttershy hid under the bed. “W-w-what’s going on!” Applejack yelled.
“T-t-t-t-his i-i-i-s f-f-f-un.” Pinkie Pie commented, the shaking moved her across the bedroom floor. Then the shaking stopped, the girls got back up from the ground.
“Ok thats it!” Rainbow Dash yelled, “Im going in!” she hit at the random bricks embedded into the wall before one of them pushed in, the passage in the wall opened up again. “Come on girls!” Rainbow Dash commanded, she flew down the stairs and then Rarity, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie followed suit.
Fluttershy poked her head out from under the bed, “Ok, you guys go on without me, i'll catch up.” Rainbow Dash appeared in front of the bed making Fluttershy jump, she nudged her way back under the bed.
“Oh no you don’t.” Rainbow Dash said, she dragged Fluttershy out from under the bed and chucked her down the stairs.
The girls ran through the corridors of the passage and into the Library, the entire room was engulfed in darkness, except for a beam of light from the moon that protruded from the crater in the ceiling. Twilight laid in the center of the floor under the light in clear view.
“Twilight, get up!” Applejack yelled shaking her, but she got no reply.
“Blast! She’s out cold, girls we need to get her upstairs quick!” The girls nodded and grabbed Twilight, they left the library and headed back up the stairs.
