	“WARNING: SHIELDS AT 15%. SHIELDS AT 15%.”
“He-Man, we have to retreat! The ES Celestia can't take much more!” Twilight Sparkle cried amidst the chaos.
“No! If we don't reach the moon soon, Equestria could be destroyed! And Eternia would be next!” he shouted. A mighty boom sounded across the ship.
“WARNING: SHIELDS AT 10%. SHIELDS AT 10%.”

Things went so bad, so fast, He-Man thought, Just when it seemed the battle was finally won, evil struck, leaving tragedy in its wake. First the death of Celestia, and now this. If only I had changed the course of events that day...

3 days ago:

“Discord, I don't know how you've escaped from your stone prison again, but your new found freedom is at an end. I've brought the Elements of Harmony, and with them, Twilight Sparkle and her friends will seal you once again,” said Celestia, as she gave Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, and The Yellow One their elements. 
“No!” shouted Discord, “They mustn't use the Elements of Harmony!”
“I'll take care of it,” Skeletor cackled, “I can sense latent evil in the heart of the purple one. I'll just let it out.” He aimed his staff at Luna and fired a small black stone that pierced the chest of the moon goddess. Before everyone's eyes, she got larger, undergoing a transformation into Nightmare Moon.
“Sister, do-”, before she could finish, Celestia's sentence was cut short, as the Mare in the Moon unleashed a blast of pure evil straight into her elder sister's heart. She collapsed to the ground, instantly slain.
“CELESTIA!” cried Twilight, “NO!”
“Haha! Equestria belongs to us now,” Nightmare Moon exclaimed in triumph, “Discord and I will rule over it for the rest of time!”
“And I helped!” said Skeletor.
With that, the trio took its leave of the planet, heading to the moon to plan their next move.
“We have to follow them,” said He-Man, “Skeletor must be stopped before more evil is unleashed.”
“Well, I was building a space ship before all of this happened,” Twilight replied, “It's almost done, we'd be able to finish it in about 3 days.” They worked and worked, and in 3 days the ship was done. “I christen this ship the ES Celestia, and I name He-Man the captain. We have to go to the moon and retrieve the 3 elements of harmony that Princess Luna was carrying.”
So they departed into space, as the quality of this fanfiction rapidly deteriorated. The lunar defense systems launched missiles, and soon, the shields were at 10%.
“Evasive maneuvers,” shouted He-Man, “Get us to the moon!”
“Aye-aye, captain,” replied Rainbow Dash, the pilot. She swooped and dove, spun and flipped, and managed to dodge the remaining missiles. “Brace yourselves! It's going to be a bumpy landing!” The ship crashed down into the lunar surface, and He-Man and the ponies exited.
“Show yourself, Skeletor! We have some unfinished business to attend to.”
