//------------------------------// // Unleashed // Story: Fury of the Night // by 10champ10 //------------------------------// It was any other day for Night Fury. Getting out of bed at whatever time he pleased. To do whatever he very well pleased. What respect he didn't have from being part of the richest family in Equestria he earned in fighting the biggest dogs the back streets had to throw. Yes, Night Fury was a fighter, and a good one at that. No one bothered him with the intention of getting on his bad side. That was a poor mistake. Night Fury was a normal bat pony except he was an alicorn. Making him one of the rarest ponies in existence. History only showed one other alicorn that would be considered a bat pony, though speculations made it hard to tell, and that was Nightmare Moon. Only she was killed a thousand years ago, along with her sister. Both of them dealing the final blow at the same time. Since then, the country has been on the edge of civil war. But at this point the tension that was once felt ran stale and now only keeps the world from showing it's true beauty. But his appearance was pretty normal in height, color was right. Being a super dark blue, looking black in certain lights. Mane and tail of similar color. Cutie mark was black moon with a blue scythe on it. His eyes were a bright red. Though Night had a tingle in his gut. One he usually got on days he would end up doing something extremely productive. Today was going to be a great day if that was the case. That was when he noticed his mirror was the source of this. It glowed white. Some kind of magic was cast on it, and powerful too. As it radiated through the room. He could feel it. This was the source of a new adventure. Without much hesitation he entered it. Though quickly regretted it, "I forgot to eat first! Buck!" He said, in a tone of minor annoyance. Though he knew where he was, he knew that this was at least another version of it. Except, the air is clean, the view is beautiful actually and it is practically midnight except the way the air felt, it felt more like afternoon. He also was in the Everfree Forest. Without much more waiting around he took flight. Using his eyes to his advantage as he was gifted with the ability to see better in the night than the common pony. Though the sound of something caught his ears. A shriek of panic coming down below. He quickly went to the sound and saw a manticore about to attack six ponies. Not about to let that beast make a meal of them he charged his magic and fired a solid black beam of energy to cause the beast to stumble. Before gaining some altitude and diving toward the beast. The speed of him caused this unearthly whistle that got higher pitched and louder as his speed increased and he got closer. A loud thud was heard as the beast suddenly was pushed into the ground with sudden force and dirt was thrown into the air. Once the dust settled the six would come to find that the manticore and now this new pony were staring each other down. This is the part that the six found out that this new pony was a bat pony alicorn. His wings were out, his fangs bared, his eyes death staring the beast as this bat pony unleashed a growl that sounded unnatural for a pony to make. This pony's hair was on edge. His back standing straight up as a dog ready to fight with all it's got. His fangs looked sharp as daggers and eager to sink the flesh of any that dared challenge the bearer of them. The manticore looking at this challenger begin to cower away. This new opponent was not one that he wanted to face. Following simple animal rules, this foe was an alpha male who is making it known that he is claiming his territory against the animal. The manticore wanted no part in a territorial battle against a foe like this. That was till it flopped over and writhed. Making the bat pony just stare in confusion at what in the world was going on. He didn't strike the beast hard enough to cause any internal damage. Just enough to hurt and daze it. But a chill could be felt as it's eyes suddenly glowed solid blue and it stood again, staring at the bat pony with hate and rage. Now it wants to fight. Night knew what was up, a possession spell had taken over the beast, forcing it to fight. Once again the two stared at each other. Night doing his stance and growl, bearing his fangs and snapping them against his lower jaw, sending an audible noise of teeth clashing with the intent of ripping at flesh if the threat didn't back down. The manticore only attempted to rival his pose, though the six would come to agree this alicorn was a more superior force. Both of them started to circle, Night's wings were at full span, his front was lowered. He was ready to strike or avoid depending on who made the first move. This kept up for several minutes, several tense minutes. Finally the manticore attacked first, and in a split moment Night was airborne and above the trees. Then the sound of a powerful magical blast came raining down and struck the beast's back. First time was stumble beast, this was a true attack and a strong one at that. Then that unholy whistle came again as the bat pony slammed himself into the spine of the manticore with intense speed. The beast fell again, this time suffering a broken hip. It only roared in anger as it took the injury. Only making it clearer that someone wants this animal to fight against a force it knows it can't beat. Wanting to end this fast and quick Night got inches from it's ear and fired a black beam of magic straight into it. The head of the beast glowing black till suddenly it fell over and it's skull popped open. The magic building up till crushed it's brain and ripped the skull in two. Doing so in only a few seconds. Night only grunted as he landed at the now dead animal. This fight was not enjoyable or was it even worth having. Unfortunately the beast was forced into something it didn't want to do. All the others stared in awe at this pony. He took on the manticore and won without it being able to land a blow on him. Now that he was closer they could now see his muscles popped with strength. One of the strongest ponies they have ever seen if he wasn't the strongest. Even Big Mac would have a challenge if it came to brute strength. Though something became immediately clear based on how he walked away from the animal. He was a fighter. He trained his whole body to be a weapon. That sent shivers down all their spines. They began to group up and shake a little unconsciously. One thing too, he walked toward them with his eyes closed at first and opened them after a moment. Those red eyes finished the job of sending fear into any that would stare too much at them. His eyes glowed a red that looked as if the blood of his enemies were what made up the red eyes he wore. "You guys hurt at all?" The pony spoke. His voice had a tone that demanded respect in it. It had a sound of authority and power in it. Though it was also reassuring to hear it speak softly. The purple one had enough courage to answer first, "No, we are fine. Though who are you?" "Name is Night Fury, and I'm here to help." He responded, shooting a soft smile. Now the cyan and rainbow colored one spoke, "Where did you learn to fight like that? Also how did you manage to fly like that too?" "I started to teach myself how to fight at a young age. Though this was not a fight. This is a disgrace. For flying, just kept practicing and exercising." The first bit they could tell he was not happy at all, though he calmed down to answer the last bit. His answer to the fight reassured the yellow one. Apparently she had taken a kindness to animals or something. Soon after that they quickly caught Night up on what was going on and what they were doing. Making there way deeper into the forest. "So, Nightmare Night is hiding out here somewhere, you six are to find these magical shards and use them to stop her and save the world?" Night asked, making sure the recap he heard was correct. He got a nod in response. "Then your brave leader is a fool. Finding a new set of bearers for these magical elements should be done, yes, on top of getting the elements. But, without any training, any maps or resources? To top it all off, she decided to just go into hiding, tell no one that she is doing so, left no plans of action nor had a secondary to take over in her absence? Who plans like that?" That shook the six to the core, this pony rattled the cage that they thought wouldn't ever be rattled. Worse part of it was, everything he said made absolute sense. No real plans were made outside of just tossing the one known as Twilight into the town of Ponyville, meet the bearers, that may not even reside in that town, and then set off to get the elements with zero training. Also, no plans have been made for this night outside of what is currently happening. After a bit more they finally reach the bridge of the castle. Which has fallen to one side over years of neglect. So Rainbow eagerly steps up to take care of the bridge. Though in the process she meets the Shadow Bolts, who tried to tempt her before one of them turned into a ghostly form of Nightmare herself and she then made a direct offer to Rainbow, "Join me, and I'll give you everything and anything you could ever want. All you have to do stop this quest and leave them behind." She said, gesturing to the opposite side of the bridge. "Sorry, but that would go against my bond that I have made with them." She retorted, which angered the moon alicorn, though Rainbow wasn't done and smiled when she resumed talking, "Besides, I would hate to be on his bad side." She replied gesturing toward a rock wall. Though the curious alicorn looked that way as having no idea what in the world the pegasus was even talking about. Till she suddenly saw bright glow of red snake eyes stare at her and the silhouette of a winged equine pop into view. The eyes were full of anger and rage, the red almost being demonic to the alicorn of the moon. Then it emitted a loud growl that was fierce and full of just as much anger and rage as the way the eyes were looking. Then it spoke in a roaring voice, "You forced me to waste my magic on a creature that did not want to fight! Once I find you, I won't hold back!" With that last word he clamped his jaw which echoed into the canyon. Not only was his voice sending a clear point, but that extra bit was capable of sending the wave of fear to those that heard it. Which made Rainbow shiver a bit, feeling a tad sorry for the alicorn they were about to attack. Which seemed to have disappeared when she turned around. Shortly after that the bridge was put back up and they went into the castle. Night had already told them that he was going to deal with Nightmare till they could get the elements and use it on her. Until then, she was his. That moment came shortly after the elements were found. They were all teleported to the throne room where the alicorn stood, smiling. Thinking she had the upper hand over the ones that were sent after her. Though she smirked a bit more when she found who the bearer of those red eyes were from earlier. "Ah, and here I thought you happened to be at least a half drake based on what I observed earlier. But no, you happen to be one of my most loyal of sub..." She was cut off then by Night, who was not at all excited to see her. "Witch!" He snapped, loudly, shaking the dust off the walls, "Don't you dare finish that statement." He released a growl at the end of the last statement. He was still just as intimidating as before, despite finding out he had no dragon in him. Which actually broke the hardened barrier of Nightmare Moon and she felt a bit of fear in her heart. He WASN'T part dragon, yet could probably demand the attention of one. Though that fear quickly was replaced by anger and hate. Night continued on, "My kind has been subject to all kinds of discrimination and at points had to fight against the other clans of ponies because of you. Nearly brought to the point of extinction three times. So no, I am not a faithful follower that you or any other would DARE classify me or my kind as being. You are nothing but a blight upon this world and should be destroyed. And I'm going to enjoy EVERY second of it." His ability to maintain a powerful and commanding voice that could rival the royal voice if not surpass it was astounding to both Nightmare and the six. His low and angry growl crackling as he spoke. His fangs bearing as his anger seethed toward the one that caused his kind a large amount of suffering. Maybe not in this world to the extent that he knows but no doubt that at least some of it happened to this world too and thus defeating her was the only objective he had. Being called a witch? How dare this young stallion even use such slander against his true ruler. Does he even know who he is talking too? With that tone? "If it wasn't for me, your kind wouldn't even exist! So show some respect to your true ruler!" Nightmare retaliated. This cursed bat pony was going to learn his place. He insulted his very birthright, being gifted with abilities from her, and this is the thanks she got from him? At this point he gestured for Twilight and the others to take the elements and leave and then turned back to Nightmare, "You aren't the true ruler, Luna is. She was the one that granted the gift to us. She is my ruler, NOT YOU. You are the curse upon my kind and I plan on removing it from existence." He growled back. At this point his body was boiling with anger, rage and hate. Though while he released it partially through his voice, he was storing that energy for the fight that was about to start any moment now. Nightmare had no words, she only growled back. Which turned into a stare down between the two. Two alpha's staring each other down, circling each other, trying to scare the other, but neither would back down. Twilight hesitated leaving a moment as she got caught up watching Night Fury directly challenge Nightmare to her face. Seeing the two now doing the little dance before starting a battle was hair raising. Seeing Night Fury a bit closer growling something out of a nightmare, hair on end, body ready to fight, wings spread out. Just like that manticore from before. Though now against Nightmare Moon, who was doing the same thing, but it may have been biased, but Twilight would have said at this point, Night Fury had it in the bag. He was far more intimidating, when squaring up against Nightmare Moon. Both baring fangs at each other, both looking at each other with the intent to kill. It was at this moment that Twilight left to meet with the others. Shortly after Twilight left was when Nightmare called in several swords with her magic and launched them at her rival. Night hopped up and with several powerful flaps of his wings blew the swords the opposite direction then with a slight smirk on his face launched himself at the mare at insane speeds she had never seen before. Unable to counter in time he ran his horn right through her chest and plowed her through the wall, he hovered in place, now outside the castle, overlooking a court yard or garden. Nightmare caught that smirk and since that, everything happened in slow motion, she watched him lunge himself at her with his full force and felt the impale in her chest. Taking out a lung and forcing the air out of the other. She crashed through the wall and fell into the courtyard, sliding several feet against the hard ground. That wretch didn't even bother using any magic on her and instead used his brute speed and strength to harm her, with his horn no less! She happened to notice him hovering before taking high into the sky, vanishing into the clouds. Coughing blood and gasping for breath she started to cast a healing spell before she heard a whistling of what could be described as something of a demon coming toward her. She looked up just to see a spec of black fall at intense speed out of the sky slam into her again, throwing her several hundred feet from the courtyard. Cracking most her bones and crushing her organs. On top of her punctured lung. The nightmare was flung into the woods, crashing through trees and whatever else happened to be in the path. She barely was able to look up to catch the glimpse of the underestimated opponent leap out of a tree toward her. Eyes glowing bright against the darkness around him, white teeth reflecting all light. He landed on top of her with a growl and went in to take a large bite out of her neck, as a predator would prey it has caught to end it's life. Nightmare barely enough strength to keep herself conscious, led alone fight. He was fast and was using that against her. Inflicting as much pain and damage as possible in the shortest amount of time. She now knew his plan. It was working. Keeping the pressure on so she couldn't cast any healing spells or only be able to cast small ones between her defensive or offense casts. Which now also would be weaker due to her lack of ability to concentrate fully on the spell with the massive pain rocketing through her body. Night went in for neck, he was going to rip that throat open and watch her struggle. She earned that much in his eyes. Though she mustered enough strength to put a hoof up that could keep him at bay, though barely. He could break through and was working on do just that. Night was a bit disappointed that this alicorn wasn't much of a fight. All his training and preparations for a true and long fight. He thought Nightmare would give him that fight, but alas here he was, still strong as ever with her struggling just to breath, let alone keep him from ripping the flesh of her neck off of her. That was till her horn glowed and and a beam of energy hit him in the face. Throwing him off of her. Night was thrown back about a dozen feet. Dazed slightly as he took the blunt of that attack. His head and upper neck burned of heat and he could smell his own cooked skin. From the pain, she managed to only take his fur and give him a good burn, probably second degree at most. Though this granted Nightmare enough time to start to cast her healing spells which he knew she was casting as she was growling and screaming in pain as she healed bones and organs at an unholy speed. With a snort he shook off his daze and fired a powerful blast of hot energy at the mare. Countering her healing spells. She casted a shield spell but it was weak and only bought her temporary time. She had to get away from this alicorn for a few minutes if she was to survive to fight. So she teleported back inside the castle. Though the remains of the castle walls could not protect her from his cry of rage from piercing her ears. Those two minutes Nightmare had only felt like six seconds to get herself ready to fight again, as it took Night little time to crash through the wall and once again be staring her down again. Though now Nightmare was healthier, somewhat. She was able to fix her bones and most of her organs. Though she still was going through a good amount of pain as the cuts and scrapes were still present. She only dealt with the most critical of injuries to keep her fighting. Perhaps now she is able to grant him that fight he so wanted to have. Once again they stared each other down. Growling at each other and staring daggers and hate at each other through their eyes. Though as much as she tried to hide it, Night could see fear was lingering in her eyes. She feared him, though knew she was in a fight of survival and surrender was not an option for her. So she had to fight to the death with this pony. Though Night spoke for the first time since the fight started, "I can see it in your eyes. The fear you have of me. A pony you consider to be beneath you. You claim to be a god, but you are losing to me. Even if you were considered a demi-god this fight should have been very one-sided in your favor. Unless you have been holding back this whole time. So, let's see what you have. Unleash your demons! Fight me! Give me a hug." The last he said in a tone of happiness twisted and corrupted with evil and hate. The rest was said as if he was a higher being than Nightmare. One that emphasized power and authority. His toothy grin popping out and bearing the fangs that yearned for her flesh. Night didn't even bother casting a healing spell on himself. Letting his burned flesh stay as is. Like it was a fuel for him or something. Though despite the fact he was bleeding from his head and neck, the fact that his body had to feel every millimeter of that damage, he was stronger than that pain. It was like a small cut based on the way that he gave zero care or even showed any sign that it was a problem. He was even more menacing to look at now, even now hints of orange lingered on him as his flesh was still that hot from her attack. Yet he was able to taunt her, toy with her, and now using her own attack against her. Using the damage she did to make him look scarier. This colt, despite being centuries younger than her, was way more skilled than she would have given him credit for. Though, him calling her weak was driving up her hate and anger levels more. She had enough of his games, if he really wanted everything, he was getting it. She wanted to give it to him. The alicorn cried in hate and rage as she began to lose her form and became a mass of black, increasing in size, as the true form began to show. A large single horse like skull screaming at him with the large blue slits that once belonged to the alicorn. "You wanted me to unleash myself!? Here I am! Now die!" It screamed. This mass of dark energy reach out a good twenty to thirty feet, being almost as tall as the ceiling. Though by morphing into this form it exposed it's host in the process, the real Luna. Bound by the demon as strands of itself seemed to have sank into her own flesh to harness her power for itself. Though after all this time, it seems to have had enough of it's host as has tried to rid itself of her. She was beaten thoroughly and tortured mercilessly. Dried streaks of tears on her face. Cuts, gashes, scars, just about every injury has happened to her by this beast. Though despite being way larger now and way more menacing. Night was unphased by it. He only gave a slight smirk. "And thus the demon reveals itself. I knew there was no way Princess Luna would have become Nightmare Moon almost overnight without something eating away at her conscious. She only wanted to be adorned and loved, you wanted more than just that. When she denied you, you began to assault her trying to rid yourself of her, but she has refused to die to you. Despite all that you claim to be, Luna is three times stronger and ten times more deserving of any title you dare claim to have or be. Once this night is over, SHE will be rid of you, forever." The creature was trying to intimate the young alicorn with horrible shrieks and other unholy noises. That was till Night spoke, with a boom that shook the castle to the foundation, overpowering the noise that the creature could make. His voice boomed with power, anger and will. Once he got to the last sentence he released roar of determination against the beast that was his enemy. It wasn't a scream or a growl, but a roar. A true roar. Similar to that of a dragon. This was the result of the royal voice being used in methods many would have deemed dangerous and would advise not to do. This didn't matter, he wanted to make a point. He was not going to be intimidated, he was not afraid, in fact he was never more ready to fight than he was now. For the first time, Luna was able to see what was going on around her. She could barely stand, her body was in high amounts of pain. The bonds that held her and the creature to her were excruciatingly painful. It buried itself deep into her skin, and even penetrated and latched to organs and other body parts in other places. She barely had enough energy to keep herself alive. The creature kept leeching from her, using her body, her magic, even her mind to fulfill it's own desires and wishes. Though she turned to face this being that roared with power when he spoke. She emitted a soft smile, hearing his final words. The way he said it, the words he said. It wasn't a promise, it wasn't a statement. It was a fact, a truth. One that brought a hope to her that thought she'd never feel again. Then something happened. She and him looked each other in the eyes. She finally got to see those eyes that she knew scared the demon that was abusing her. She knew those eyes had it in them that they could tear the beast into pieces. Though the eyes didn't have anything scary in them, they spoke to her directly. Something that said that they were torn to pieces with sadness for her. Then replaced with another look that said that she going to be saved. She teared up again, this time tears of joy. Once again, facts being stated. She wanted to speak, but lacked the ability to do so. Too weak and the beast realizing where it's rival was staring started to use it's mass to build a wall between them. The beast spoke, "You are far wiser than you appeared to be. Though it will be in vain. For you shall become ours too. With your power and that of Luna, nothing will be able to stop me." It was determined to beat down Night and force it's bond onto him. Sucking the magic and life out of him and Luna to conquer the world. It was already excited to have that power for itself. But first, to defeat the alicorn standing in front of it. "You think you have the power to defeat me? You are even more delusional that you led yourself on to be. Though, you have yet to hear my name. See, I am the fury of the night itself. All it's hate, anger, rage dumped into one worthy of having such power. One who would not abuse it for personal gain. To use it for the betterment of the world. My name is Night Fury. Avenger of the night." Night growled with a new anger and rage. One more fierce than ever before. The castle wall that he ran through collapsing. His eyes burning red. Not glowing, burning. His body seethed with an intense heat. Intense enough to reignite the embers from his burn. Though instead of a normal yellow flame, the flame was black and blue and it soon encompassed his entire body. Though it failed to do any damage to him. Though the fact he no longer had a burn in the first place showed that he fired a healing spell either repeatedly or did one enough till he could cast a spell that made him fire resistant. He began to hover. His eyes staring directly at the demon. With only one thing coming from those burning eyes. Death was coming. The creature never knew such a level of crazy existed. This was the act that broke the last the straw. The demon now feared the alicorn and could not hide it. Though if it wanted to survive, it had to fight. For all it knew, this could be a trick to make himself look tougher than he was. It cast an intense blast of magic from it's mouth, pulling magic from the alicorn of the night as a blue glow could be seen coming from where she was and traveling up to the mouth. This only enraged Night even more. Fueling his body and his own magical abilities even more. His flame growing larger. The demon found that the spell seemed to separate when it encountered it's enemy. Finding that Night had blocked the blast with a shield spell. In a rage it fired again, only this time, Night didn't shield himself, he fired his own beam of energy back. Black and blue pushing against each other. Though Night was barely even trying. With a bit more concentration he increased the power to his spell and it quickly overpowered the the magic of the demon and the demon went wide eyed before it's head took the full blunt of Night's attack. Intense energy and heat hitting it directly, and it was getting worse! Night was still adding fuel to it. The demon cried in pain and fear as it was being attacked and hurt by this force. Night was unleashing all his anger and rage into this spell. Killing as much of this demon as he could. Though with this much additional power being thrown in without Night really dipping into his own magical supply or reserve. He was barely even getting started. Though unfortunately, after killing about half of the demon, he ran out of intensity. Despite having way more energy and enough to keep up the attack, the spell itself peaked and could not do any more. Though Night kept the spell going, preventing the demon from being able to grow or be able to heal itself. This wasn't enough for the alicorn though. He took off in blazing speed and sent himself right into the demon, using his fire to deal extra damage as well as own physical body. Ripping through masses of the demon with his wings and hooves, as well as teeth. Just as Night pulled away, the six came in, having figured out how the elements worked. Night spoke quickly, knowing that the end of the fight was here. "You might have thought that you would be able to maybe squeak away after I ran my spell to it's limit. You were wrong. As you have yet to see what power is awaiting to unleash itself against you!" His voice despite not yelling, still came out like thunder and lightning. Catching the six off guard a moment before they fired their new found magical energy into Night. His body suddenly glowed brightly as the magic poured into him, using him as a vessel. Mixing in his own magic he fired one last time as the rainbow and black twirling energy beam hit the black mass and dealt it that final blow. Tearing it to pieces and completely killing it. Though thanks to Night's magic mixing in, Luna felt nothing of the blast. As his magic contained the blast to only that demon. Anything that would have hit Luna would simply get nulled out. Once the spell was finished the six were in a little bit of a daze as they had yet to get used to that kind of energy release. Though since Night was only the vessel, he wasn't affected the same. It overcharged all his magical reserves and capabilities. Which he threw into his own magic when it did that, to keep himself from being overwhelmed. He looked at where the demon used to be and only saw a barely standing Luna. Though that statement would only last a moment as she was too weak to stay standing. Night quickly went over and caught her and pulled her tight into his hooves. Sitting on the floor with her in his protective grip. Luna felt free, the pain gradually going away till the demon that bound itself to her was killed entirely, the blast that killed it taking any that remained out of her body when it hit her. Only thing that remained was the open wounds on her body from where it used to be. Though she couldn't stand on her own and instead of hitting the ground she felt something warm catch her and hold her. It felt so good to feel warmth again. She truly knew she was freed when she felt the alicorn that risked his all to save her catch her and hold her. She wanted to open her eyes and look at him, up close. But she was too weak to do anything. She could barely stay conscious. Then she felt something, a small pain before sudden relief swept over her body. She knew this, it was one of the most powerful healing spells that are known. Very few could master this type. As it also had a pain killing spell mixed with it. To keep the fast paced healing from being hurtful. Nothing was more perfect right now. Except not being able to see the one that saved her. After a moment, Night cast the best healing spells he knew on the now freed princess. She was going to have scars, yes. But he was not going to let her feel those wounds any longer than she already has. The princess was surrounded in a faintly glowing black aurora as his magic encompassed her. Fixing every injury that could be fixed. Night could feel Luna's body relax as it no longer felt pain. Going just about fully limp on him. After healing her wounds, Night put his horn against Luna's. She barely had any magic at all, completely drained of everything and even her reserves were deadly low. Since their horns were touching, Night was able to channel his own magic into her, which he did. Dumping most of his magic into the princess, till he was down to his own reserves and ran them low. Nothing a good night's sleep wouldn't rebuild, but Luna was beyond that. It would have taken weeks just for her get her reserves high enough to be healthy. Luckily for both of them that Night saved his best for last. Allowing him to keep plenty of magic to release. Luna quickly found herself regaining energy, at an alarming rate. There was no way her body could generate this much so fast. Then she realized the source was coming from her horn. That's when it clicked, she was receiving magic from another. Based on what she felt, it was definitely that alicorn. Feeling his actual pure magical essence entering her to recharge her told her just how powerful he was. She was nowhere as powerful herself, though now that she was free, she could practice and build up her abilities instead of having it robbed from her without her being able to do anything about it. It took no time at all for him to bring her magic levels up to normal and then some, all the while keeping enough in himself to not put himself in physical danger. Though now that she was no longer feeling pain or suffering from magical deprivation, she still was physically and mentally drained. Which was putting it lightly. She was on the verge of being defeated by that thing when the return happened. Though with the small hope of being free kept her from giving up till she saw the alicorn. That was when she mustered all the strength she could till now. Now she could finally breath. Before she knew it though, she fell asleep. Night held Luna for a few moments after recharging her magic. The poor alicorn never looked more peaceful. Seeing her face brought a level of happiness to him. She no longer looked pained, sad or any of the things he saw when she was visible in the demon. Now, it was the opposite. Though the sun returning to it's correct position in the sky showed that Luna was asleep and Celestia was able to move the moon and raise the sun. Speaking of which, she showed up, only to see a disgruntled bat pony alicorn staring at her while her pupils seemed to have fallen asleep along with her sister.
