Set during the Changeling-invasion.
"THIS IS WHERE WE HOLD THE LINE! THEY MAY NEVER TAKE THE ELEMENTS ON OUR WATCH!” the princess of the night proclaimed clearly. She had discarded her regalia in favour of dark armour, not entirely unlike that of Nightmare Moon. If there was a coup, the enemy should know that the former despot would be the new defender!
She was Luna, princess of the night!
“YEAH!” several dozen voices answered with dark determination and grim satisfaction.
The OK calls had stopped a few moments ago and the worst was to expect. Now it was up to the night guard to do their part.
“WHO ARE THE BEST?” Luna asked.
“WE ARE!” the guards replied.
“ARE YOU READY TO FIGHT FOR EQUESTRIA?” Luna demanded.
“YES!” the guards answered with fire in their eyes.
“ARE YOU READY TO FALL FOR EQUESTRIA?” she continued.
“FOR EQUESTRIA! FOR LUNA!” the guards cheered.
“GOOD! NOW, HOLD THE LINE!”
...
“Excuse me, princess...” a nervous voice asked.
“Yes? What is it, sub-commander?” Luna responded, eyes pointed at the door.
“Wouldn’t it be more appropriate if we waited outside of the element-chamber?”
“No, we are supposed to protect the elements and by me, we will do that!” Luna answered grimly.
“I was just thinking... the chamber is not very big... and we are 40 ponies...”
“Personal space is not a luxury we can afford!” Luna responded “STATUS ON THE ELEMENTS!”
“Still poking me in the ribs, ma’am!” a corporal answered.
“Keep them close!” Luna ordered, not letting her eyes strain from the door. Not by choice, though... her head was tightly squeezed between the sub-commander and doorframe, while about four guards were crammed on her back.
Good that she had the armour.
Now all she had to do was hope that the enemy would advance soon. Air was getting scarce...

SORRY!
LOL!
This... updated!?
494621 I am writing a lot of stories at the moment... but to answer your question: Yes
To follow up with my own question: Did you enjoy it?
AHAHAHAHA! This explains everything!
494660
Yes! Very much! So very pragmatic of Luna to guard the element room and not the adjoining proxy room!
I knew I had this tracked for a reason. That's even funnier than the Gamer Luna explanations. Good work, Luna. Nopony will get the Elements while you're watching.
So...That's explains why she was late for the party.
495344 Only the best make it to the night guard! And all are present! This is the most law abiding place in all of Equestria!
495594 Season 2 didn't give us much Celestia or Luna since "Luna Eclipsed", so I had little to work with. And where else would she be? Her first reaction after taking over watch duty was to start a curfew!
495976 CPR-ing her back to consciousness took a while...
words cant express how much i love these very very short stories!
It only opens on the outside.
Okay, this is funny. Great job, keep it up.
616332 Sadly, I can only write those when my muse strikes, since there is no plot connecting them. But I'll do my best
613537 To escape, Luna used the horn of the unconscious sub-commander as a pick!
613094 Then what did I just shoot?
613151 I'm very glad that you like them

I said 'keep it up' not 'need more now!', take your time, I'll be looking forward to it.
It was a fairly clever idea for an ambush. Luna simply didn't count on Chrysalis NOT following Discord's plan of attack. Generals always fight the previous war.
Okay, that was funny and clever. and it explains SO much....
I like that idea. Not "Luna was squeezed in with her guards to the point she couldn't move", but "Luna was literal minded about her duties to protect the Elements."
I can just imagine the Changelings outside.
'My queen, shall we remove the Elements from the chamber?'
'Why, we already have the bearers you halfwit! The Elements are useless now.'
'But, we haven't found the Night Queen yet.'
'You honestly believe she would hide in there? I scarcely think she would even fit.'
'But my queen, I can sense more ponies in there.'
'Ridiculous. If capturing Canterlor hadn't put me in a good mood I might just kill you for such idiocy. Now, out of my sight before I change my mind. And you!
....
Fetch me some more of those, so called apples, you discovered.'
