Twilight Sparkle is the princess of friendship in an Equestria where Daybreaker reigns supreme.

It once was a peaceful and harmonious land, or it was until Starlight Glimmer journeyed back in time and prevented Twilight and her friends from defeating Nightmare Moon. It led to the death of princess Luna, due to the elements not being to correctly purge the darkness from Luna, they later found out that Luna was princess Celestia's baby sister and things only went downhill from there.

Celestia soon after gave into her inner demons due to the grief of losing her only sister for the second time, and Daybreaker took over her body quickly turning the once peaceful Equestria into a hellish nightmare for anypony but the Canterlot elite and Twilight Sparkle.

This fic contains: Self sacrifice (sort of a suicide) and semi-graphic descriptions of a death

I'm fine with Celestia.

Celestia loves me.

Nothing is wrong.

Twilight Sparkle had been preparing for her entrance exam for so long, just to blow it at the end! If only she could get away to a place no one would know her.

Sometimes wishes come true.

Due to a mix-up in the pantry, the jasmine tea that Princess Celestia orders for consumption with her breakfast turns out to be made out of coca leaf, instead.

A period of overwhelming bureaucratic efficiency, aggressive platonic affection, and mild insanity follows.

It has been many years since the war started...

Chrysalis and her armies rolled over our defenses, overwhelming our forces with sheer numbers. We fought a fighting retreat, always on the run from the swarm. We thought it would be over, that this would be the end of Equestria, and the end of Harmony...

But it was not so. We gathered our strength and held our ground, at last. Desperately our soldiers fought on and held the swarm off. Ponies took up arms to bolster our ranks or grabbed a tool to aid the war industry.

And now, after all these years, we remain in a stalemate. The Changelings adopted their own variant of total warfare. They launch raids on defensive positions at night, send bomber squadrons to destroy civilian centers all across Equestria and sink civilian cruisers out on the sea.

The war drags on, and my ponies grow tired of grieving the loss of their homes and loved ones. It is time for Equestria to commit to this war and leave behind our outdated principles of pacifism and harmony.

This war has brought upon us a new age. And with it, a new Equestria must rise!

This story takes place in the 'Equestria at War' universe. Further knowledge of this universe is not required, but it's good to know. Link to the official EaW group can be found here.

Despite an increase in revolts and resistance, Daybreaker rules Equestria with an iron hoof. But for some reason, this granny on an apple orchard keeps subverting her rule and convincing guards to leave the farm unharmed. Daybreaker might have to show up and deal with this herself.

The day has finally come: Celestia's Nightmare has overtaken her. Daybreaker is on the rise, and all of Equestria will burn.

Her first target: Ponyville, home the Elements of Harmony.

But Daybreaker didn't count on one thing. See, she's really hot, and some ponies are just really, really horny.

As you probably all know, Daybreaker hates the night and of course Nightmare Moon. On the other hoof, Nightmare Moon hates the day and hates Daybreaker back.

So the two always had a lot of conflicts and quarrels with each other in the dream world, creating a very big rivalry between the sisters.

So how exactly did this all come about? Let’s find out.

Celestia is happy. Thanks to Starlight Glimmer, she and Luna are closer than they have been in ages! They are eating breakfast together, talking more, and even helping each other out with court tasks. In short, everything is going great for Celestia.

If only those intrusive thoughts would go away...

Celestia is unable to stop the two evil royal sisters, Daybreaker and Nightmare Moon knocking her out before she could destroy them. However, Daybreaker is stronger than Nightmare Moon, so Luna's evil counterpart is at a large disadvantage for the first half of the battle.
Soon, though, Nightmare Moon finds a way to increase her power, and her strength becomes equal to Daybreaker’s.
As the evil sisters battle, Celestia lays unconscious on the castle floors, Luna and Starlight trying to wake her up.
