12: The Dreamer's Motivation/12.1: When Dreams become Reality

(Alex's POV)

Night has fallen. Darkness has taken over. I am alone. Her spell has faded, but I still lie there. My arms and legs have fallen asleep, as has the rest of my body, but my mind has not. I fall into a dream, one I know is a dream, but one I cannot wake from.
It is a dark, cold, gloomy night. I look around, and find myself in a forest. I look closer at the forest and note the coloring.
"The Everfree...."
I look around again, looking above and below me as well, and I stand atop a bridge that connects my world to their's. I see the moon is full and high in the sky, barren of the mark of the Mare in the Moon.
"If this is a dream, then the events that follow must center around the release and defeat of Nightmare Moon."
I start walking forwards, moving closer to their world. There must be a reason as to why this dream is so vivid. I see the Mane Six come out of the Forest, into the clearing that surrounds the ruins of a once great castle. It feels likes hours to cross the bridge and traverse the clearing to get to the ruins, but it takes only a minute or two. I look inside the ruins, and see the Six standing in front of the Elements. They're still stone.... They must hurry! They seem to pick up on my plea, as one of them launches into her speech, and I recognize her by her voice. Twilight. The whole of it seemed to be a simple way of stalling for time, hoping for a solution. Apparently, something clicks on an upper level, as the Elements start to glow. I see the stone around the Element Gems melt away, and the Gems start glowing. Each Gem-Element floats towards its new bearer, except for the fact that there is no sixth Element present.
"And when the Spark is in the presence of the other Elements and friendship, it ignites, creating the sixth Element, the Element of Magic!"
A bright flash blinds almost everyone present, and when we can see again, a sixth Gem-Element is there, attached to a tiara of sorts, floating down to Twilight's head, and resting there comfortably. I see the Gems glow even brighter, their Bearers floating into the air, magical energy gathering. I smile, knowing what will happen next, but then that expectation is shattered. Six dark gems appear in front of the Frost Queen, and they unleash a dark rainbow just as the Elements of Harmony unleash the Harmonious Rainbow. They collide in mid-air, sending sparks flying everywhere, a few passing just a bit too close to me for my liking. I see both of the rainbows flicker and disappear simultaneously as the Elements of Harmony tire, and the Dark Elements just keep the defense up, not going on the offense. Nightmare Moon laughs at the Bearers.
"You must have thought you could defeat me with the Elements of Harmony."
Twilight, along with the others, falls to the floor, but she is the first one up.
"Yeah, I kind of did."
"Ha! You silly silly mare! I was beaten by those things once before, but never again!"
"What? What do you mean?"
"Elements of Harmony, meet the Elements of Entropy, or as I call them, the Dark Elements. Each one is designed to counter a Harmony Element. Greed, Generosity. Lies, Honesty. Tears, Laughter, Disloyalty, Loyalty. Anger, Kindness. Finally, Hopelessness, Magic. Darkness beats the Light. You cannot stop me! I shall have Night Eternal!"
I walk closer, sticking to the shadows.
"Yes we can! Girls, get ready!"
I laugh from the shadows.
"On their own, maybe not."
Nightmare Moon spins wildly, searching for the voice. I laugh again, retreating a little further into the shadows. Twilight looks at the other mares.
"NOW!"
The Elements glow brightly, and unleash the Harmonious Rainbow, only for it to be halted by the Dark Elements and their Discordant Rainbow.
"But with me, they can!"
I activate the icefyre glyph I had been preparing, and it spits out a large quantity of icy flames, blowing my hair back, casting me in a ice-blue light. It mixes with the Harmonious Rainbow, and it manages to overpower the Discordant Rainbow. The icefyre, its purpose fulfilled, dies out, and the Harmony takes over, doing what it was meant to do to begin with, and it purges Nightmare Moon from Luna. I smile, and then turn, running back to the bridge connecting our worlds. I look under me, and then the bridge trembles. I start running faster, trying to make it to the other side, but it shakes even more. And then the bridge fell....
