"You're kidding. You're kidding, right?" said Nightmare Moon.
Twilight Sparkle was beginning to go into a charge to retrieve the elements from the evil tyrant who dared bring eternal night. Nightmare Moon couldn't believe what she was seeing, her potential subject getting ready to attack her in what might be a fit of determination.
Before Nightmare Moon could think further, Twilight charged at her and tackled her.
Despite the fact that she was blindsided by the sudden attack, Nightmare Moon managed to pry Twilight off of her with a blast from her horn and retaliated with a buck to the face, which Twilight managed to dodge.
But before Nightmare Moon could buck Twilight again, Twilight teleported in a burst of light to the Elements that she had been so desperately trying to gain.
"Just one spark, come on, come on!" exclaimed Twilight, who was having trouble trying to summon the lost Element, the key to defeating Nightmare Moon.
As Nightmare Moon watched in horror, Twilight was thrown back by a spark in the five Elements.
And, to Nightmare Moon's horror and Twilight's happiness, the spark seemed to summon the Element of Magic........
"Aha!" Twilight exclaimed.
"No!" Nightmare Moon yelled in horror.
......but the spark faded away.
As soon as the reality dawned on her, Nightmare Moon took the time to levitate the five stone balls, and then blasted them with a burst of magic, releasing a powerful rainbow-coloured aura of magic-the magic of the Elements of Harmony-into the air, and thus destroying Twilight's one and only chance for victory.
"But, where's the sixth Element?" Twilight asked in confusion.
"You little foal!" Nightmare Moon yelled in a menacing tone. "You really thought that you were going to get the lost Element? That you and your foal buddies were going to defeat me?"
Nightmare Moon began to crack up, and then began to break Twilight down.
"Not a chance, foal! Now you'll never see your princess, or your Sun again! The night shall last forever!" Nightmare Moon then cackled maniacally, and then pushed Twilight into an arriving Applejack.
"Twi!" yelled Applejack. "You okay Twi? 'Ah heard that you were in trouble, so we-oh no."
In front of Applejack was the source of the sudden pushback, which was Nightmare Moon, with a cackling horn.
"So, so you wish to challenge me, foals?" asked Nightmare Moon.
Triggered by this statement, Rainbow Dash rushed toward Nightmare Moon, but managed to miss her just by a quick teleport from Nightmare Moon and a swift buck, forcing her to the ground.
As the other ponies rushed to her aid, Nightmare Moon trapped the ponies in a force field, trapping them inside and making sure that they didn't escape and try anything.
"Hahaha! You little foals! Can't you see that the night shall last forever?"
As the ponies stood in defeat, Nightmare Moon prepared to force them out of the castle.
"You shouldn't have stuck your muzzle where it didn't belong, my sweet subjects!" Nightmare Moon spat.
Then, Twilight stood up.
"No," said Twilight. "You forgot that we still have our friendship!"
"And what?" mocked Nightmare Moon. "Send me back into the moon through power hugs?" Nightmare Moon particularly spat out the last two words, as if they were poison to her.
"You know that that's just what Celestia did before I took care of her, right?" said Nightmare Moon.
Twilight and the others were shocked to hear her say that. What did she mean "took care of Celestia"? Did she mean that she killed her?
"No, it can't be true!" a distraught Twilight thought.
"Did you mean you killed her?" asked Twilight.
"No, no, no," Nightmare Moon reassured. "you really think that I was going to kill my own sister?"
"So, she's not dead, you mean?" asked Rarity, who had the same thought as Twilight.
"No, I merely sent her into the sun." said Nightmare Moon. "She did, after all, send me to the moon."
Twilight was now horrified at what Nightmare Moon did. Apparently, she sent Celestia to the sun, and did to her what she did to Nightmare Moon a thousand years ago.
But that wasn't what horrified Twilight.
What horrified her, was just one simple fact that Nightmare Moon mentioned.
She was Celestia's sister.
After a while, that feeling of horror turned into a feeling of anger, and she charged....
......right into the force field, which shocked her tremendously.
Twilight screeched as she was knocked back, but she tried something else.
She concentrated her energy into a teleportation spell, and Rarity followed suit, but both ponies felt their magic being blocked by a mysterious force, hindering their magic and preventing them from teleporting outside the force field.
During all this, Nightmare Moon was watching in amusement, but it was after both unicorn's attempt at teleportation that she finally spoke:
"It really looks like you can't even do anything! This is so amusing, I would make you my personal jesters...."
Then, Nightmare Moon's face twisted from an amused face to a stern one.
"....but I'm afraid that the penalty for rising up against me is banishment."
As the ponies pleaded, Nightmare Moon pointed at Pinkie Pie.
"Except this one", said Nightmare Moon. "She seems rather fit for a jester."
Pinkie Pie then broke down at the possibility of losing her newfound friends.
"Now...." said Nightmare Moon, who disabled the force field.
"OFF WITH YOU SUN-LOVING FOALS!"
Nightmare Moon then forced all the ponies out into the Everfree Forest.
And so, she ruled with an iron fist.
