Within an hour the chariot was loaded and the 6 were on their way to the moon, within the chariot the six sat and waited for their trip to come to an end so they could destroy the threat. "Twilight we simply must tell you what's been going on in ponyville, everyone misses you and they'd love to have a visit," Rarity was the one who had just broken the silence, then Fluttershy, "Um, the Animals really miss you Twilight, including Angel, and he rarely misses anypony," She smiled at Twilight and she smiled back, masking the depression she was now in, "You girls, Twilight doesn't want to hear about how everyone is carryin' on about missin' her, she's focused on her worry about Celestia, and I for one am happy that she-" The cart jerked back and forth aggressively flinging the ponies over to the far side of the chariot, spike hadn't been there, he'd since grown up and headed off into the world at Twilight's will, she knew he'd survive, it was spike after all. as Twilight brought her head up to survey the damage, she noticed that Rarity was hanging off of the side of the cart, screaming, Twilight rushed over and attempted to pull her into the cart, but she felt the crashing of the moon's new defenses hitting the chariot, and Rarity slipped out of her hooves, plummeting to Equestria, far underneath them. The purple Princess Zoomed as fast as she could attempting to save Rarity, but she wasn't quick enough and she heard the screaming come to a sudden and Violent end, and upon surveying the area she had seen that Rarity lay dead on the ground, her necks snapped, and her entire body broken, Twilight looked on in horror, one of her dear friends were dead, and she could've saved her, but she didn't, Tears filled her eyes, and she sobbed openly, "Oh Celestia, Rarity I'm so sorry, it didn't have to end this way, it really didn't." The event was scarring Twilight seeing Rarity's lifeless eyes drift backwards into her head, revealing white pools of emptiness, and saw her expression which had kept as if Rarity was screaming. Twilight couldn't take it anymore and flew back up to her friends, "I have something to tell you all," she said in between sobs, "Rarity is," She paused, crying even more, by this point her friends knew the dark truth that their friend was gone and they were never going to see them again and began to cry as well, they held each other as their howls entered the night. They were only a short time away from the moon, and it wouldn't be long before they attempted to stop this force.

Celestia was in a palace quite a ways away from Ponyville, she knew not what was going on but had a feeling that it wasn't good, for a few seconds ago she was in her bed and blinked her eyes to find herself in this prison like palace. "What am I doing here, where am I?" the Princess screamed out with anger, to find an odd shadow like creature before her, wich chuckled and spoke in a whispered tone, 
"My dear princess you are in the kingdom of the nightmares and were about to bring your worst fear to life." Celestia stared on in terror as she began to see her throne room, she was within her subjects, which was odd because she had never sat here before, she tried to move her legs but she was shackled down. The trumpets blared as a royal guard stepped up and cleared his throat, 
"Ladies and gentlecolts, princess of all of Equestria, Twilight Sparkle!" Celestia's eyes went wide as Twilight strode in and sat down, sneering at her former princess.

Princess Luna stared over her sister, who was tossing and turning madly by now, tears were in Luna's eyes, all she had ever wanted as a child was to rule Equestria, but she didn't want to lose her sister, not like this, she hated herself for being so selfish in wishing her sister would pass the throne down to her rather than Twilight Sparkle, the tears broke into a floodgate of tears, "I'm so sorry sister, this is all my fault, they channeled my thoughts and went after you..." Celestia's mouth opened and she spoke on solid phrase that had surprised everyone in the room, "Kill Twilight Sprakle."
