//------------------------------// // Chapter 11: Fight the Night(mare) // Story: Saving a Hopeless Soul // by Mister E-Nonymous //------------------------------// Chapter 11: Fight the Night(mare) (Rainbow Dash's Point of View) We arrived at a fancy looking hotel. Solar Eclipse got us into four different rooms. Three with two beds, and one with only one bed. Danny and I were okay to share the same bed. I didn't want anything happening to him. I was just glad I got him back. We stayed in our room, hugging. And then, there was a knocking on our door. Danny walked over to the door and opened it. In came the other girls and Solar Eclipse. "This is getting bad," said Solar Eclipse. "Everything is starting to get colder and colder." "Every time a solar eclipse happens, the outside temperature gets colder and colder," said Twilight. "If this keeps up, the planet could freeze. We have to stop Nightmare Moon before things get bad." "But what about Danny?" I asked. "We can't just leave him here all alone." "Perhaps we should watch over him," came a voice. We looked over and a portal opened up, revealing Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. Princess Celestia then said, "You all must stop Nightmare Moon or else her eternal night will freeze all the inhabitants of this world." "Indeed," said Solar Eclipse. "Nice to see you again, old friend." "Solar Eclipse," said Princess Celestia. "It has been a long time." Then the strange black box showed a screen of what was going on around here. It showed someone trying to predict the weather. Doing a poor job at it. "It would seem that whatever is causing an unexpected Solar Eclipse is sourcing itself somewhere here in Memphis. In an unrelated story, there seems to be some blue energy emitting from the top of the tallest building in Memphis." "That woman clearly doesn't know that that blue energy is Nightmare Moon," said Princess Luna. "And she is causing that solar eclipse that's leading this world to freezing darkness." "How close are we to that building?" Twilight asked. "It's less than a mile away," said Solar Eclipse. "We have to get going." "Mom?" Danny asked. "Everything's going to be okay, right?" "I promise that everything's going to be okay, Danny," I told him. "Now you just wait here. We'll be back." Then we all headed out. Solar Eclipse brought out a suitcase from his coat, and opened it up. Inside were the Elements of Harmony. We all grabbed our Elements, and headed out. I turned around and kissed Danny on the forehead, and then we headed out. It took us at least 20 minutes, but we arrived at a condemned building. It had a lot of floors. We knew that Nightmare Moon was at the very top of the building. The question is, how do we get up there? Big mistake. We walked up a lot of stairs. We were slowing down for Twilight, Rarity and Fluttershy to catch up. I then asked, "What floor are we on?" Solar Eclipse looked down the stairwell, and said, "Looks like we're on the nineteenth floor. We're just about halfway there." "How are we going to stop with Nightmare Moon with a bunch of people watching us stop her?" Twilight asked. "I'll use my very powerful magic to make sure that no one sees the battle," said Solar Eclipse. "Now, let's get this ghostly witch." We reached the roof of the building. We saw that the ghost of Nightmare Moon was floating there. She then turned around and smirked at us. "So, you've finally came," said Nightmare Moon's ghost. "Welcome... to your burial ground." "Not going to happen," said Solar Eclipse. He then used his magic, and transformed all seven of us into our true pony forms. We were ponies again. I looked over at Solar Eclipse. His original form was similar to Lucky Clover, but his coat was light amber, and his mane was the same color as Lucky Clover's, but his mane had a hint of goldenrod that matched his coat. And his cutie mark was strange looking. "You're an alicorn?!" asked Nightmare Moon. "Oh, you're going to go down!" Then Solar Eclipse used his magic and the area around it so no human can see us. Then Nightmare Moon fired a spell at us. "Solar Eclipse?!" Twilight asked. "Aren't you going to help us fight her?" "I'm using all of my magic to keep this spell going," said Solar Eclipse. "It's up to you!" We all nodded. Then Twilight used her magic to fire at Nightmare Moon, but it went right through her. Nightmare Moon laughed and said, "That tickles." "Uh oh!" said all six of us girls. Then Nightmare Moon fired a blast at us. We got out of the way, and then I started flying around her. Using the Rain-blow Dry on her. It was actually keeping her in place. "What's this?!" asked Nightmare Moon. "I can't move!" "Let's get her with the Elements!" called out Twilight. I was about to go to her until I was hit by a small explosion coming from the middle of the tornado I made. I was pushed towards my friends. "If I can't rule this world," Nightmare Moon said, "then nothing will!" She then lit up her horn and a beam hit the moon, pulling it downwards. That can't be good. (Danny's Point of View) I was watching the news with both the princesses in the room. We then heard a reporter on the news come up. "Breaking news! The moon is coming down. No, I do not know why this is happening, but I believe that this will be the end of humanity as we know it. Then the camera turned to where all the people were working, and all of them were freaking out about what was happening. "That's not good," I said. "We better keep this world's moon from colliding with the planet," said Princess Luna. Then both of them started using their magic, and started moving the moon back. But then the light from the sun started coming back. "It's working!" I said. "Let's just hope that this would be enough to keep Nightmare Moon from finishing us off," said Princess Celestia. (Rainbow Dash's Point of View) We looked up at the sky and saw that the moon was moving out of the way of the sunlight. It was getting brighter. "WHAT?!" Nightmare Moon exclaimed. "NO!! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!!" The ghost of Nightmare Moon wasn't looking good. She was barely see through. Then Twilight fired a blast at her, and it made contact. "GAAAAH!!" shouted Nightmare Moon in pain. "Girls! Let's charge up the Elements!" shouted Twilight. We all did, and the magic of the Elements started connecting together, making a rainbow beam, and then headed straight for Nightmare Moon's ghost. She then vanished, disappearing forever. We all fell to the floor, along with Solar Eclipse. We then got up, and looked around for Nightmare Moon. "Where... where'd she go?" I asked. "It would seem that Nightmare Moon... is finally gone," said Solar Eclipse. "Let's head back to the hotel. We got to get ready for the trial this weekend." "Of course," said Twilight. "And we should be humans until then." We arrived back at the hotel where we were staying. We all came into the room that Danny and I were staying in. Danny ran up to me, and hugged me. "Well," said Twilight. "We just stopped Nightmare Moon. She's done for." "Good," said Princess Celestia. "Now we shall take you all home." "Not yet," said Solar Eclipse. "Just a few hours ago, we got Danny's aunt and uncle arrested. And this weekend, we got a trial to get to, for Danny." "If we lose the trial, Danny will be given back to them," I said. "We can't let him be taken away. For his own happiness." "Indeed," said Rarity. "We can't afford to lose this trial, or else we won't bring Danny back home." "I don't want to lose him," I said. "He needs me." "Sister," said Princess Luna. "I shall stay if they need some extra proof. Although, I might have to stay in the shadows if I am in a place where I could be easily spotted." "Good," said Solar Eclipse. "We're going to need all the proof we can get. The trial needs all the proper evidence if we're going to win. We'll get all the proper evidence we need before then."
