Again, thanks for proof reading my story. This time, he can have Woona.


Boom!!!
An unexpected explosion echoed in Tony's ship, startling every passenger. Every bits and pieces of the wall shattered across the living quarter. Massive amount of grey concrete dust filled the air. Tony quickly ducted himself, covering his vital parts with his hand. Princess Celestia quickly deployed her shield with her magic around her and Twilight. The shockwave was great that it knocked off Tony, and pushed him to other side.
"Holy!!!!" Tony yelled.
Celestia was holding on her hooves to the floor with magic shield, as well was Twilight.
They stayed in that position for a while until no more shards were flying towards them. The smoke was thick, and the enemy was unclear. All of them just stared at the explosion site, wondering what could be. 
Twilight yelled "What the hay was that?!"
Celestia replied "I am not certain, but I believe I felt this kind of magic before, stay cautious Twilight." Then she quickly charged her horn, preparing for any sudden attacks. Then a voice was heard from other side of the smoke.
"Hello? A…Anypony there?"


The entire image was blurry like inside of the cloud. Everything was white as well. There was no certain distinction between the objects. The world faded black. But soon, the place started to recompose itself. It was slow but it was visible. Luna squint her eyes through the light. After the image was clear, she was now in someplace she has never been before. She slowly got out from the bed and her hooves meet soft fabric thing. It was dark-blue colored circular mattress. She started to observe the place where her curiosity took her. She seemed to be in a room of… wealthy pony, but the design was never to be seen in Equestria. Every single furniture or objects was ridiculously simple for her and most of them were monotone. Of course, everything did not match with 1000 years old thoughts. As she got closer to the wall, what seems to be a mirror, suddenly turned into a window, allowing her to see the magnificent view of Everfree forest and a sun hanging between the rocky mountains. She gasped a little, she got closer to the window to see how it worked, but she just could not figure it out. Then a sudden voice rang out from nowhere. And from the window, a cyan clock appeared, as well as weather forecast.
“Did you have nice slumber, your Majesty?”
Luna again gasped and yelled
“Who…who speaks!?”
“My name is Jarvis, and I will be your temporal assistant. If you have any questions please, feel free to ask.”
“How can I know if thou art worth trusting?”
“You seemed a little anxious. Do not worry, I will only follow your command, temporarily of course.”
“Then why not show thyself?!”
“My physical form does not exist, for I am artificial intelligence, I virtually exist. However, there is no wrong to say, I am the ship itself.”
Luna of course had what to make out, and it turn out that she was talking to the ship which was ridiculous. So, there she did not believed in this pony called ‘Jarvis.’ Was she angry or did she ignited the fire of vengeance? No, she did not burst into any of these, but however, she was more like… Afraid? She probably had thought that Jarvis was some sort of evil spirit, do you want to know why? Because she apparently lost her memory.
‘T..That thing!!! It…it can’t be a ship!!! Ships doesn’t talk!!!’ Luna thought,
“’This is a lie!!!”
“What do you mean your highness?”
Luna tried to stand up tall and strong, not wanted to show her weakness, however her words trembled.
“I... I know thou art a spirit of evil!!! T…Thou hath ponynapped me from my royal castle!!! I may not know the intention!!! B…But I know thou art going to murder me!!!”
Jarvis virtually ‘blinked’ and tried to analyze what just happened. He had never expected Luna to react this way. On contrary, Luna was panicking and desperately searched for an escape route.
“Princess, I think you are highly mistaken, but I am not…”
“Slience!!! Then thou shalt explain why am I in this miserable room! Is it not to assassinate me?!”
And of course, Jarvis lost his word and he thought, ‘What is wrong with this princess?’
Then Luna charged her horn to prepare a powerful beam to destroy the ridiculously huge window, and Jarvis quickly noticed this and tried to warn her.
“No!!! Princess, That window will reflect your beam…”
And he was cut off by Luna’s beam. A blue and purple beam shot to the window, however, instead of window shattering apart, it created multiple hexagon and bounced off the energy and shot back to Luna. Luna however, quickly ducted her own beam. Her beam barely touched her mane and flied toward the wall behind her. As the beam struck the wall, it exploded with ear ringing volume. The wall was shattered and threw huge and small rocks everywhere, and dust stormed inside the room. Lucky for her, Luna was not harmed by any of these. The dark Alicorn slowly opened her eyes and looked towards the wall. There was a hole, but she was not certain what was on the other side, due to amount of smoke and dusts. Even her tremendous eye sight could not pinpoint. But however, her ear picked up something. It was a voice. And it was extremely familiar.

"I am not certain, but I believe I have felt this kind of magic before, stay cautious Twilight."

Luna carefully stepped forward to the hole and said nervously,
“Hello? A…Anypony there?”

Then another voice came out from the other side.
“Lulu? Is that you?”

And of course, it was her sister, In relief, Luna quickly ran towards to the hall, and soon she was met by her sister, smiling. Luna yelled in joy.
“Sister! It is thou!”
Celestia saw this, and quickly embraced her little sister with her gentle wing, and gave a warm smile. Then Luna started to stare at her sister with watery eyes.
“’T…Tia! There is something evil here! I…It just talk to me, and locked me in that miserable cell! We have to escape, sister!!!”
However, she was met by Celestia’s blank stare with her face expression saying, ‘WUT?’
Then Luna slowly backed away from her sister, and saw Twilight standing right beside her sister, and quickly ran to her sister’s most beloved protégé.
“Twilight Sparkle!!! You have to listen to me!!! There was an evil spirit!”
However, Twilight gave her a wretched look and face hoofed herself, then she used telepathy to ask her teacher.
“Princess? Was Princess Luna like this?”
“Well, yes. She may be old as I, but her mind is still like a child. It was my fault to banish her to the moon.”
Celestia lowered her head with regret filling her mind, but she did her best to keep her composure. Then, she smiled again towards her sister and said calmly,
“Sister? Do you remember what happened last time we were awake?”
Luna gave her sister a quizzical look.
“Why does it matters sister? We.. we need to escape that’s all it matters right now!”
Then Celestia gave her a chuckle, and responded,
“Oh, sister.  Indeed it does. Now, what do you remember?”
Luna’s facial expression clearly showed dissatisfaction, but soon she gave out a sign in defeat.
“Alright sister…”
Luna sat back with her hunches, and tried to regain her memory.


Five minutes later….

Luna stared at a creature that she remembered. Its facial characteristic, its shape, it all matched to her memory. Tony just smiled at Luna and said, “Hello, Princess Luna.”
Right after she heard her name spoken by another creature that she never known, her face to turned into crimson through her deep blue skin. She could not just stare at the creature anymore, just the floor. Luna desperately needed to say something towards it but she couldn’t. Every time she spent her life in castle, she never heard her name spoken by others. They just only said ‘Princess’. All the servants and royal guards still feared her while she just wanted to make friends with them. All the citizens of Equestria still recognized her as bringer of the eternal night, the spirit of evil. All the ponies feared her and anticipated her to be evil, and that have caused Luna to despair, and cursed herself as much as she were in the moon. They made no difference. And one of her servant informed her that no more than 10% of equestrians were not aware of her return. Also, when she walked out of her room, which rarely happened, she could hear whispers and curses about her but she did not say anything. She even did not say anything to her sister but kept them locked in her mind. She thought she deserved it. At the first month since her descent, she cried. She cried and cried until no tears could come out. Then… in these days, crying became part of her. Do you wish to know what Luna did before the governmental crisis? Well, she read books, and talked to herself, and cried. More specifically in detail, she waked up in evening, eat breakfast in her room or just skip it and let her sister raise the moon when she was not in the mood. Then read in her library until she gets bored. Next thing was to eat lunch, and talk to herself or play with boxes and tapes. And cry until she gets exhausted, and go to sleep. That was basically her daily life. Some ponies who knew about his were not really concerned about her but thought her as a pathetic being. And of course, she knew about this, but as I said, Luna just kept them inside and did not punish them because she just did not want to make anything worse. Indeed she did attend to Nightmare Night festival in Ponyville with the Elements Harmony, and she did enjoy it, but, however, right after that night, she started to cry again when she figured out that the festival was about Nightmare Moon. (Celestia forced Luna to go to the festival.) And after all that… Someone she never met, or knew just called her name. Not with hate or damnation, but with heartwarming soft smile. She was originally going to ask him if he was alright, but she was lost after those three words. Well, she was lost even before that anyway. She blushed even more when those voices echoed from her head, and tried to hide herself behind her hooves and her mane. And Tony found this cute, but Celestia was worried. Tony realized Celestia’s concern and quickly sat next to Luna, and swung his right arm around her neck. Seeing this, Celestia couldn’t help but smile, and only waited to see Luna’s reaction. Celestia talked to her sister with her telepathic voice.
“Well…Luna?”
“…”
“Luna, you saved him after all.”
“…”
“Come one Luna, Say something.”
But Luna blushed even more, and made her heart skip beats even faster. Her cheek were… red. She slowly opened her mouth and spoke one simple word quietly.
“Thanks…”

Luna could not help but smile for a first time after Nightmare Night. She liked him.


Canterlot Royal Palace.

“I demand to raise tax up to seven hundred bits, and that is an order from your prince!!!”
Prince Blueblood raised his volume high and it echoed in the throne room. He was sitting on a little portable chair next to Celestia’s throne. Right after his order, there were quite a lot audible gasps. One of the noble said,
“S…Seven hundred bits?!? Citizen won’t be able to pay that much of money your highness! Even four hundred bits is extremely hard for them to pay, but seven hundred bits?!? How do you even expect them to pay such a money?!?”
Then a unicorn with blue mane with mustache said,
“I hate to admit, but I absolutely agree with him your majesty, Princess Celestia only collected eighty bits every single week, and that had not changed for hundreds of years!!! We are currently having economical and governmental crisis, and you expect them to pay that much, I really have to say, this is just ridiculous.”
Then this caused Blueblood to turn into ‘Red blood’ (LoL? Not funny? I’m not really funny ,am I not? P/N: Nope dude, better luck next time :D)

“Are you disobeying me!?! Celestia is here no more!!! She is gone now!!! I am the one in charge, not Celestia!!! And you take orders from ME!!!”
This time the throne room was now filled with gasps. Even guards could not believe what they just heard.
“And you both! Off to dungeon!!!”
Guards standing in front of Blueblood hesitated to do so, and they just stared at each other.
“Are you defying my order!?!”
Then one of the guard quickly responded, “N…No, your Majesty!!!”
“Then Do it, NOW!”
Guards walked to tow nobles who stood up against Blueblood, dragged them away from the room. A guard signed and whispered to a unicorn.
“We are sorry Sir Fancypants, but here is nothing we can do.”
“Don’t worry my fair guard, I understand.”
After those two ponies were dragged away, Blueblood announced, “You are all dismissed!”
“But, we have so many…”
Earth pony general said,
“You, General White Mane!!!”
“Yes, your highness.”
“You won’t need those anymore!”
Blueblood said as he ripped off all of general’s multiple medals,
“I forfeit your rank and your power, White mane! You are no longer a General! Guards, take him out from this place, and burn down his house and take all his belongings to me!!! Now, all out! All Out!!!”

All the ponies walked out from the room with whispers and grumbles, When Blueblood saw no ponies in the room, he yelled,
“Bright Lantern!”
Then a grayish brown unicorn pony with black mustache quickly galloped to him and said,
“Yes, your highness?”
“Why am I sitting next to Celestia’s throne?”
With this Bright Lantern froze.
“Well, speak!”
“I…I believe that the works are not yet started with your own throne. But, I believe that workers are planning to construct your own throne room on the castle’s…”
Then Blueblood cut him off.
“No, I want to destroy Celestia’s throne room and rebuild it as mine!!!”
Bright Lantern quivered,
“O…Of course, your majesty…”
“And one more thing, Bright Lantern…”
“Yes, Your Majesty?”
“What does Luna do in her throne room?”
“I am afraid that, she never used her throne room yet, Your majesty…”
“Exactly… Destroy it.”
“Y…Your majesty?”
“No, wait… Destroy… Celestia’s and Luna’s chambers as well.”
Listening to this, the old brown pony could not believe his ears.
“I am asking you, now!”


Canterlot castle, Training field.

Shining Armor, looked at his new army. It was quite big compared to he usually had, because this one was for different purpose. It was for rescuing Princesses, he does not intend to make any mistake. But not soon after, he was disturbed by Prince Blueblood.
“What are all these soldiers for?”
“They are for rescue operations, Sir”
“For who?”
“For our lost Princesses of course.”
“Cancel the operation.”
“Excuse me !?!”
“If you defy my order, then you will face the same faith as them.”
Blueblood pointed out to few nobles being dragged away towards dungeon. Shining Armor felt rage in him, but he had nothing to do, and he did not wanted to show himself being imprisoned to his girlfriend, Cadence.


Ponyville Sugar Cube Corner


All the ponies were gathered in pinkie’s shop and discussed about their growing concern, which they had nothing to do.
“Oh, How I just miss Twilight! I don’t think I could possibly live without her!!!” Rarity whined.
“Ah know, but I just hope Twilight is  safe.” Applejack agreed.
“If I could just figure it out who ponynapped Twilight, I am going to buck his flank!” Rainbow gritted her teeth and hit the table hard.
“Now we have to give Twilight a goodbye party? This is going to be a worst party ever!” Then Pinkie bursted into tears.
“I… I just wish Twilight was here with us right now!” Fluttershy also cried, and others tried their best to keep them calm. It was depressing without the Elements of Magic. They needed her badly….
