Fallen Shards

Eclipse

When the smoke and fire had cleared, a sight on the stage had ponies running to their cottages.For on that stage, stood Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker. The ponies that did not run to there homes stood in shock. There two princesses, who have ruled over Equstria for thousands of moons had gone, and in their place stood to creatures made of fire and darkness.
"Everypony! Get into your cottages now and don't come out!" Oh my, nothing like this has ever happened before. As part of the Royal Guard, I realized that tensions between Princess Celestia and Princess Luna were growing, but I had no idea that it was this bad. "Quick, send a message to the Crystal Empire, alert Princess Cadence and Shining Armor about what is happening. We need help, go NOW!" I ordered to another guard. We would need the help of the Crystal Empire if we were going to fix this.


Ha Ha. I am free once again. Luna kept resisting me. She knew I was inside her, waiting to burst free and rule Equstria like I should have, Long, long ago. Poor Luna, if she had accepted my help the first time, we could have ruled together, but no, she wanted to be good, and now she is gone. Ha. I never would have thought that Luna would be able to resist the darkness for so long. I have been building up ever since she turned back into Luna, but only moons later does she finally give into me. The things she said to herself when she thought no one was listening was priceless! "No, I will not give in to the darkness, I will not become the THING that they all fear. I will never become Nightmare Moon ever again. NEVER." Luna had said when she thought she was alone. But silly her. She was never alone. I was always inside her, always buried in the deepest and darkest part of her mind. But I must admit, I did not know that something as powerful as Daybreaker was in Celestia, I must admit that that was a bit of a shock.
"Now that I am free at last, the night WILL last forever." I said. "You, you think you are more powerful than me, that you could possibly defeat ME? Ha, You could never block the sun, and you will never win." A voice sneered behind me. It was that Daybreaker. I would like to see her try. I zapped a strand of darkness at her, but she was ready. The magic bounced of a force field and hit a building instead. Bringing it, and whoever was inside down. As I kept firing, and Daybreaker kept blocking, more of the town fell to ruble, and more of the idiotic ponies who trapped themselves inside those houses soon perished.


Free! Free at last from that sufferable excuse of a pony. Celestia, always claiming to be the better half of the two rulers. Even Luna had more control over her actions. Luna could fight of Nightmare Moon for a time, but Celestia could never fight of me. I was the one who made her paranoid, I was the one who put all those ridiculous thoughts in her head. I mean, an alliance with the Griffins! Cutting of trade with the Hippogriffs! That is just ridiculous. Not only did it gel free me, but now, They have no alliance with a creature who could help them during this time. Not that it would have mattered. I was much more powerful than Celestia, not to mention Prettier, and far for intelligent. I could easily defeat those ponies. But first, I need to end that annoying Nightmare Moon, Once and for all.
As Nightmare Moon kept firing magic, I kept blocking, finally I shot and it hit Nightmare Moon in the ear. I needed to kill her, it would take more than that. Nightmare Moon, getting furious I could tell, shot out a giant ray of darkness and it hit me in the side. It hurt! How dare she. That blast took me off balance, but it could not keep me down for long. I would like to see her even come close to defeating me, the most talented, beautiful, and most powerful pony in Equstria.


Ever since I could remember, Cherry Blossom had been my best friend, she had always been there when I needed her, and to no surprise, she was with me when the two sisters transformed. It felt like the sky was falling. Crashing of buildings collapsing and shrieks of pain seemed to fill the air. "We need to get out of here Cherry, we can not stay here."I had cried."Were do you suppose we go Sun Flower? All the roads are filled with pieces of destroyed structures, and I doubt if any of the trains are running right now."Cherry said.
I was not use to hearing her call me by my real name, she usually just called me Sunny. I was panicking. Ponies all over have been dying from either collapsing buildings, or miss fired rays from the two previous rulers. Suddenly, A ray of fire came rushing towards me. I quickly ducked, dogging it and avoiding what was probably a painful death. "Whoa, that was close, wasn't Cherry? Cherry?" As I started to turn around I heard Cherry murmur, "I feel, I feel, huh."
What I saw made my hooves freeze to the ground and what made seem like everything else was not real. "Oh, no no no, please no Cherry please no." Cherry was lying on the ground gasping for breath. I might have managed to doge the blast but Cherry did not. I couldn't move, I couldn't think. I could only watch my best friend fade of into an eternal rest. "Cherry...Cherry please, you can make it, you can make this." I was frozen in a panic. "Sunny, stay strong, stay... strong for me, I will be... watching you...forev..." She was dead, no, she couldn't be dead, she just couldn't be dead. As I looked up, I saw just in time both former rulers blast at each other, and both hit the other. They seemed to explode. Evil Energy shot out and seemed to spears over Equstria, destroying every thing in site. It was over. The fighting was over. But it was over, without... Cherry.


Sunny and I have been friends for ever, but when the skies erupted and the evil rulers fought, I knew that this would probably be the end. Sunny had started panicking and wanted to leave the town, but I knew it would be useless. Suddenly, a blast fired from Daybreaker. To my relief, Sunny dogged, but to my horror, I was to slow. As it hit me, I could see Sunny's horrified face when she saw me. I knew she had to stay strong, I knew she needed to survive, I knew that this was the end of me." Sunny, you must stay strong for me, you must stay strong. Don't worry, I will be watching you, forever." I do not know how much of that she heard, but the pain I felt was overbearing. However, soon after, my eyesight started to blur, I felt oddly at rest, and then, I seemed to slip into an everlasting light.
