(Everfree Forest, Palace of Nightmares Gate) 

Burning Star had to leave Shining Armor and Shadow Armor back in Ponyville to evacuate to someplace safe, and Burning Star knew just where to shelter them. 

Burning Star was stopped by two smoke clouds, they reformed into Nightmare Ponies, they covered their hooves in spikes and approached Burning Star with murder in their eyes. 

Burning Star narrowed his eyes, "I'm here to negotiate with my friends Nightmare Tribe."

The pair of the Night Ponies raised their hooves and went bipedal, "You will address them as our Nightmare Queens, Alicorn slime!"

Burning Star ignited his mane, clearly annoyed at the ignorant ghostly ponies. "What are you names Nightmare Ponies?"

The two wispy bodies responded, "Gnish Gnash and Scare Scars, why?" 

Burning Star smirked and said, "You two ever killed anypony before, Nightmare Ponies?" 

He got closer to the two guards, "You ever see the light leave a Ponies eyes as you carve thier flesh from their bones? You ever hear the sickening crunch as you step on their spine and watch them writhe in agony as they twitch, unable to move?" 

He got closer, eyes full of fire. The Nightmare Guards started to sweat from the heat and the stress. "You ever watch ponies get disintegrated by plasma beams?" 

Burning Star grabbed the two Nightmare Guards, "I am able to do all these things and more to anypony I choose, do you know why? Because I have nothing left to lose..."

Burning Star began to light the guards fur on fire, "you feel and smell that? That is the feeling of your flesh being scarred by fire, that stench is your blood boiling from my heat." 

He dropped the two of them and unfurled his wings, igniting them as well. "I am Burning Star, the Alicorn of Fire, ex student of the Shadow King King Sombra, and your murderer if you do not MOVE!"

The Nightmare Ponies stood their ground, "We will die if we must, to protect our Queens!"

Burning Star's eyes began to glow green as purple smoke radiated from his eyes, he said in a deep voice, "You Nightmare Tribe members claim to know fear?" 

He grabbed the both of them and stared them straight in the eyes "Then FEAR ME!"

With that, the two Nightmare Guards stumbled out of the way, before collapsing and screaming in terror, wetting themselves in fear. 

Burning Star huffed at them and said, "Well that was easy... didn't even have to bring up the head chopping off stuff..."

(Palace of Nightmares, Throne Room)

The Nightmare Queens sat on thier thrones, only four were filled. Each throne was colored differently for each Nightmare Pony.

Pinkie had a bright pink throne with streamers on it. She felt it still represented her party loving self.

Rarity's throne was stark white with blue gems on the side, it was like a mirror to reflect her beauty.

Applejack's throne was bright orange with tree branches wrapping around the hoof rests and the peak of the throne.

Fluttershy's Throne was cream colored, and had the crest of a bat and butterfly on it. 

Burning Star approached the four Nightmare Queens and bowed and said, "Greetings my friends... I see you are adjusting well to the idea of Nightmare Pony life..."

Nightmare Pinkie Pie bounced up and gave Burning Star a hug, "Hi there Burning Star! You like the new looks?"

Nightmare Rarity spoke next, "Hello darling, you look well. I see you've combed your mane finally..."

Nightmare Applejack said her line, "Hey there Hot Stuff, how are you doing today?"

Nightmare Fluttershy spoke next, "H-Hello Burning Star. Are you scared by our appearance?"

Burning Star shook his head, "Nah, I've seen worse. You all look positively beautiful though. Your flowing manes highlight your mysterious beauty..."

Nightmare Fluttershy said, blushing. "Thank you B-B-Burning Star..."

Burning Star cut right to the chase, "I've come to ask you for sanctuary for the ponies of Ponyville... we must stop Prince Eclipsio before he destroys everything. Will you answer my request?"

Nightmare Rarity raised an eyebrow, "What do you offer in return, Burning Star?"

Burning Star smiled, "I offer your choice of the most handsome ponies in all of Equestria to be your kings... is that worthy enough?"

Nightmare Fluttershy nodded, "Whatever you need, you will have it... I know who I will pick, though."

Burning Star shook hooves with everypony, "Good. I'm glad we reached an agreement soon. I must be going, see ya everypony..." 

Burning Star teleported back to Ponyville, not hearing what Nightmare Rarity said.

"When he brings Ponyville to us, we will improve them as well..."

(Ponyville, Main Street)

Burning Star teleported back to Ponyville, only to shield himself from a thunderbolt attack. 

He heard a familiar, shrill voice. "Well Well! If it isn't my Brother, the Village Killer!"

Shadow Armor was unconscious, so was Shining, Burning Star said to the Pegasus. "Who are you?"

The Pegasus flew into view, and Burning Star's jaw dropped.

A few feet above him a yellow maned and white furred Pegasus hovered over him. He had the look of a madpony on his face and his mouth was snarling and bearing his teeth. 

Burning Star said in a calm tone, "Hello Thunder Fury, my brother..."

Thunder Fury screamed and picked up a cart, throwing it at Burning Star with a mean look on his face. Burning Star blasted it out of the air, then said to him "So, what are you angry about now?"

Thunder Fury zipped forward and punched Burning Star with his hoof, staggering him back. Thunder Fury spat back, venom in his voice. "Nothing! I JUST HATE YOU."

Burning Star sat and growled, "You're out of your league, Thunder Dumb. I've defeated my mentor, a The Sun Empress Alicorn known as Daybreaker as well... you are horribly outmatched."

Thunder Fury pulled a cloud over and rained lightning upon Burning Star, who shielded himself from the onslaught of electricity. Thunder Fury was mad, and mad as HELL! 

Thunder screamed at Burning Star, "Doesn't matter, I want you gone!"

Burning Star took off and tackled his brother, delivering a double strike with his front hooves. Thunder Fury snarled, "What the hell was that for?!" 

Burning Star roared back, "For toasting my friends. You have to grow up brother! Move on from your grief before it turns you into a monster."

Thunder Fury punched his brother again, this time drawing blood. "I'll fry you like an egg you Burning Bastard!"

Burning Star snorted, "Lets get this over with..."

Burning Star blasted fire, Thunder Fury shot electricity, the attacks collided, causing a large could of smoke. 

Thunder Fury tackled Burning Star to the ground and began to violently bash him with his hooves, bit him with his teeth, and biting down on his neck. All the while saying, "Go burn and die in a hole! Die already! Die, Die, Die!!!"

Burning Star kicked him off and unleashed a storm of fire upon him. Thunder Fury screamed in pain, his skin burning.

Thunder Fury then broke a window and picked up a large shard of glass, and charged Burning Star, heading to stab him in the heart. "Die and Burn in Hell!"

Burning Star melted the glass and said, "What is your problem with me?!"

Thunder Fury roared, "I HATE YOU SO MUCH! YOU DESTROYED OUR HOME AND YOU KILLED EVERYPONY!" 

Burning Star took flight and flew into the clouds, Thunder Fury followed, hoping to finally end his brothers life. Burning Star blasted a few streams of lightning, which Thunder Fury dived out of the way of.

Burning Star hovered in midair, saying. "Please, brother. This has to stop now. You are letting anger cloud your judgement."

Thunder Fury hovered midair as well, "Why didn't you save our parents? Mom was everything to me! You had no love for anypony ever." He hissed, baring his teeth. 

Burning Star snarled out, "Oh I'm sorry if I was not there to console you, brother... I was busy destroying the Changelings that murdered them." Burning Star grabbed Thunder Fury, continuing his speech. "You expect me to feel sorry for you now? You expect me to go lay down and die because you want me to?" 

Burning Star ignited his eyes with Dark magic and stared into his brother's eyes. "How about YOU go find sompony else to harass and attempt to kill, Thunder Fury."

Thunder Fury flew away in fear, as Burning Star used the fear spell King Sombra used to intimidate others. Burning Star whispered under his breath.

"I'm sorry brother, but you must learn discipline..."

Burning Star flew down to ponyville, and helped Shining Armor and Shadow Armor up, he said to them. "You had quite the rough ride, you two."

Shadow Armor said to Burning Star, "That Pegasus is a danger, you must kidding that he is your brother."

Burning Star said nervously, "Yeah... he is mad that we lost our parents, that was 12 years ago. He still is blaming me for it..."

Shadow Armor looked around, seeing the destruction, the marketplace was destroyed, he said "Jeez, we have to fix this..."

Burning Star nodded and began to use his magic to repair the stalls and stations. He sighed and looked skyward, as tears ran down his cheeks

"Please let it go, brother. I cannot bear to see you angry anymore..."
