why couldn't Luna or Celestia beat Nightmare Moon? because there was no balance. Good can't live without evil, evil can't live without good. Shadowedmoon, Moonshadow's Nightmare half isn't like Nightmare moon. Even though she came from her. She understands the balance and now is trying to talk Moonshadow into it. But, Moonshadow isn't so persuaded.

After waking up alone and trapped in Equestria, I found myself treated with noticeable caution by its inhabitants. Not that I blame them; I am a predator species after all, but that still doesn’t make it easy. Will I ever find my place in this world? Turns out I may not be so alone in my struggle for acceptance. Following Luna’s return, the bat-ponies are also faced with adversity and although most ponies see their return as ultimately positive, it only takes a couple bad apples to spoil the bunch. We are all individuals, with strengths and weaknesses and should treat each other as such. Unfortunately, not everypony sees it that way and although it’s natural to group yourself (and others) together, it’s still ultimately harmful.
