Difficulties

Windows were being broken, Ponies scrambled in the streets unable to trust there neighbors for fear of being converted. The Mane six were catching anypony they saw. I watched as Applejack wrestled with her brother, I listened closely.

"What tha heck is wrong with ya Applejack?!" Big mac shouted. Applejack ignored him and tried to regain control over her brother.

Big Mac was too strong for her, I pointed my horn at the group and bolstered Applejacks strength. Applejack rolled over onto Big Mac and shoved a glowing black hoof into his face. Big Mac resisted for a few moments but felt the energy quickly drain out of him.

For every pony that was converted I grew stronger. I could feel Big Macs consciousness once he was converted and I gave him his first order.

"Join the fight for control over Ponyville Immediately."

They both rushed to obey my commands. It was going to take longer then I thought to convert the populace of Equestria. I might not even be able to hold my ground! I was going to have to amplify the conversion affect somehow..

I could just imagine thousands of angry ponies marching to reclaim the throne of Canterlot. Even I could not stop that many determined ponies. I located Twilight and she was standing over Mayor mare with her eyes glowing. I watched as the mayor of Ponyville was converted to my cause.

I had bigger problems to contend with at the present moment however.

"Twilight come with me"

Twilight looked up and bowed to me, "Yes my Queen"

As the remaining citizens of Ponyville were converted I left the mayor in charge and called a chariot to take Twilight to Canterlot.

I joined her while two Lunar guard took us to Canterlot. I started brainstorming for a solution to my problem. Twilight was quite the scholar, Perhaps she could come up with a solution.

"Twilight."

She gave me her full attention.

"At this rate I will be defeated by the thousands of ponies loyal to Celestia. There has to be a way to convert the population faster. I need your help to come up with a solution."

Twilight nodded and we flew in silence towards Canterlot. I could not think of any ways to stop the armies bound to come. By the time we reached Canterlot I was grinding my teeth in frustration Twilight had been silent the entire time. I turned to her quickly.

"Tell me you thought of something."

"I think I may have something, My Queen."

"Hold that thought."

We trotted towards the palace many of the already converted ponies bowed to me as I passed. We stepped though the Palace doors and I closed them. I turned around quickly.

"Tell me Everything."

Twilight cleared her throat and quickly stated. "The Moon"

I turned my head. "What about it?"

"Use the moon to project your spell across all of Equestria."

It was by far the best idea, But it sounded complex, even for me."

"That will require a large amount of strength and magic..."

Twilight grinned at me, "What have you got to lose?"

I nodded and realized it was either this or defeat by superior numbers. I trotted towards my personal chambers and when I reached it I continued to the balcony with Twilight by my side.

I looked up to my beautiful moon and sighed. I had to channel a spell with enough power to spread across all of Equestria.

I concentrated on my conversion spell and charged my horn, The moon began to glow brightly until it lit up the land with its brightness. The lunar light spread across Equestria and all who were bathed in it or looked into the bright orb in the sky would know peace.

They would know my rule.

The spell began to grow taxing and I struggled to remain standing. As the spell wore on I sat down with weariness. A few moments longer and I ended the spell. The glow died down and I slowly looked into the sky,

"Did it work?" Twilight asked.

"I'm not sure"

My horn started tingling and the feeling grew into a burning sensation. I could feel the souls of nearly every living pony in Equestria being sucked into my horn. The feeling quickly became overwhelming and I cried out in pain.

"Nightmare!"

Twilight was at my collapsed side trying to figure out what was wrong or alleviate some of the pain. Blue and white streams were swirling around my horn entering it at random. My horn felt like it was going to crack and explode from all the energy inside of it. I grew fearful of the possiblity and a splitting headache racked my body.

I beginning to lose consciousness when I faintly noticed several guards standing around me. I hadn't heard them come in. I felt my consciousness being tugged away from my body. I couldn't resist and all went black.

I was surrounded by it, blackness was all around me but I could see thousands of tiny blue and white glowing dots. Each and every one of the dots materialized into a pony and they bowed to me. One of them spoke to me,

"We are your subjects my Queen."

I grinned but before I could respond he cut me off.

"Now, Wake up and lead us to glory."

I opened my eyes and looked around quickly. Twilight and several Lunar guards were standing around me. My horn seemed to be glowing permanently. I was surprised when Twilight hugged me, She quickly leaned back and looked down. I stared at her curiously.

"Forgive me My Queen, That was not my place."

"Think nothing of it. You are the one that came up with this great solution."

Twilight blushed and the guards gave nods of approval to her.

"Leave us."

The guards quickly left the room and closed the large doors.

"Loyalty shown to me will not go unrewarded."

I placed my horn on Twilight forehead and she froze, eyes open wide. She convulsed when a small shock left my horn and entered her body. Her coat grew a shade darker and her horn grew about half an inch. She was panting when it was over but she looked up and smiled.

"Thank you my Queen."

"Keep showing your loyalty and I will reward you further.

"I will m-"

"Nightmare will do"

"Yes... Nightmare Moon"

I grinned at her and trotted away with Twilight at my side.

"We have much work to do"

This is good

keep it going It is impressive that the pony's under nightmares control still have their personalities.

Just a side question though is this going to be a Moonlight ship? also I think the reason the nightmare kept twi on her side rather than killing her was because twilight was the nicest pony she ran into of that age. Just a theory.

Perhaps..
Secondly, You got part of it, She was the nicest pony she met in that age but she would also prove to be a powerful ally if loyal to her.

[Xaldon Ajide]

1788632 so that's a double plus.
still can't wait for the next chapter. it is going to be awesome.

[Borsuq]

So, using moon as a meaning to spread a spell across the land? Sounds familiar...

[kingthe13]

wow wow what she talking about that wasnt loyalty that was just a souless twilight following orders of the person controling her its not like she had any say in what she does for the most part
kinda sad really also this whole take your soul thing isnt going to end well since they dont truly love her or like her there just empty puppets and not even the good kind
