After her father left on his honeymoon, Rei was left behind to take care of Del and The Power Block. She felt depressed and alone until Inkie moved in with the sisters. With Inkie’s help, Rei was able to beat her depression and return to enjoying life. The couple married after a long pre-engagement followed by a long engagement, both requiring Rei to overcome her self-doubt. The couple live in wedded bliss in their home over The Power Block.
Between Rei’s ownership of Neighponese Imports and her stake in The Power Block, the couple are pretty well off. Inkie still maintains her soil science business, but it takes a bit of a dive during the winter. Rei hired Scootaloo to work full-time at Neighponese Imports and would rehire Flitter if she wanted to come back. She is also willing to allow Lucas and Mimi hire more employees of their own, but the couple prefers to run The Power Block by themselves. Rei also invested in Octavia’s school and Lyra’s biomagitech company, knowing the secret activities they engage in.
In her free time, Rei maintains the Daring Support Network and helps Scootaloo with her Wonderbolts training. Thanks to both of her shops, Rei sees her little brother all the time. She and Satsuma have a great relationship, and she even taught him how to speak Neighponese. She is also close friends with Freya and Kain, since she still considers Fluttershy her mother. The two bat ponies admire their adoptive sister, with Freya secretly wishing for Rei’s courage and outgoing personality. Rei also acts a minor bridge between Apple Bloom and Applejack. When the filly left her family, Rei and Inkie were the ones to take her in at first. They helped support her when Apple Bloom started running the library on her own. The hardest moment since their father left was letting Del leave to explore the world. Rei still maintains her sisters room, knowing Del was given Chrysalis’ key allowing her to come home whenever she wants. It has been years since she saw her sister.
Though she misses her father and sister with all of her heart, Rei happily lives with her wife and sees her friends all the time. She is extremely happy and knows nothing can go wrong.
Upstairs in The Power Block, Rei and Inkie have Lucas and Mimi over for dinner. The three ponies and the changeling joke while Rei cooks up one of her massive feasts. Rei sets a large plate of her famous bread on the table and sits with her loved ones.
Suddenly, somepony gallops up the stairs and slides a pad under the table.
‘Not even giving you a chance,’ The Master says, activating the pad.
The ponies and changeling disappear from the kitchen. They reappear in the middle of a metal room with one door.
Inkie and Mimi scan the room for weaknesses. Lucas readies a spell on his horn. Rei charges her electric affinity. Around her body, a dark blue aura forms. She gains a breastplate, helmet, wing guards and leg guards as her Moon Armor manifests.
‘Friend of yours or friend of mine?’ Rei asks.
‘I have no idea,’ Lucas replies.
Inkie bonks her wife on the helmet. ‘You forgot to lock the back door after cleaning up Scootaloo’s apartment, didn’t you?’
‘I totally locked it! They must have left it unlocked when they came over.’
‘We just went upstairs after work,’ Mimi counters. ‘And is that really our top concern right now?’
‘It looks like we’re in some sort of cell. But who would have teleportation technology?’
Rei shrugs. ‘Skybound is on our side. Discord is on our side. Chryssy is on our side. Nopony comes to mind.’
An odd mechanical sound comes from the hall. Rei readies her electricity around her wings and hooves. Lucas aims his spell. The doors slide open and three things that look like pepper pots glide in. Rei growls, the electric field around her growing.
‘EXTERMINA-’
The Dalek is cut off as Rei flies across the room and blasts it with a Thunder Shot. Lucas tries firing a magic bolt, but it is too late. Rei has electrocuted the others. She stands over the smoking shells, the tips of her wings turning black. She goes out into the hall and looks around.
‘What are those?’ Mimi asks.
‘Daleks,’ Lucas replies. ‘Before we met, before Rei even came to our Equestria, I helped The Doctor and Boss save Derpy from them. It was... pretty horrible. If it wasn’t for Twilight, we would have lost Boss.’
‘If it is before Rei, why is she so worked up?’
‘Because on her world...’ Inkie begins.
‘Because where I am from, they ruined my dad’s wedding,’ Rei growls as she returns. ‘Right when he and Twilight were about to be married, they destroyed Ponyville. I’ve seen pictures of the devastation. Less than a hoofful survived, thanks to my dad and the Doctor hiding them in their TARDISes. Lucas, I know you lived since I met you when my dad would visit me. But they killed everypony! They killed Fluttershy! They killed Twilight! They even tried to kill my dad! They are the reason for Discord! They are the greatest evil to ever live!’ She turns away. ‘And like Discord in my world, that is something I will correct. … Like father, like daughter...’
Rei marches into the hall, her legs also appearing black. Her friends nervously follow.
Rei leads her friends through the Dalek ship. The pegasus has an angry sneer and her pupils appear more catlike. Lucas and Mimi hang back from the furious pegasus. Inkie trots beside her wife, who has seemingly grown to the same height as her.
‘Rei, maybe you should calm down,’ Inkie tries soothing.
‘Calm! How can I be calm when there are Daleks ahoof! Don’t you see the danger they present?’
‘Please stop yelling. We’ll find a way to get home, and we can ask your father or The Doctor for help.’
‘Not unless we eliminate them first.’
‘Rei, do you hear what you are saying?’
Rei spins around and glares into her wife’s eyes. ‘Yes! And I am the only making sense right now!’
The sound of Daleks moving about are heard behind a door. Rei growls and gallops through the door. While the pegasus dispatches the aliens, Lucas and Mimi comfort Inkie.
Inkie chokes back tears. ‘I knew she was upset about what happened to her world, but I’ve never seen her like this.’
‘Once we find a way back to Equestria, she will calm down,’ Lucas assures.
‘It is almost as if she is possessed by some demonic force,’ Mimi comments. ‘It is not the first time I have seen her like that.’ She sniffs the air. ‘She has a lot of negative emotions within her.’
Rei comes out of the room. Her mane has turned ethereal and her wings are completely black. Her ears and muzzle have also turned black, and the color is spreading across her face.
‘Nothing in there except some scientific equipment,’ Rei reports. ‘Let’s go.’
‘Wait!’ Inkie interrupts. ‘I might be able to get a map or find some way to get us home.’
Inkie goes into the room. Rei growls and looks around.
‘Are you feeling okay, Rei?’ Lucas asks.
‘Who said that?’ the pegasus snaps. ‘Who called me by that name!’
‘Rei?’
Lucas gets hit with a Thunder Shot. Mimi instantly jumps in front of her husband and hisses.
‘That is not my name! I am Full Moon!’ Full Moon bellows, her body becoming completely black. ‘I am Full Moon, daughter of James Sparkle and Queen Luna! Adopted daughter of James Wanderer! Don’t you dare call me by such a common name! You will RESPECT me!’
Lucas groans as he stands up. ‘Sorry, Full Moon.’
Mimi hisses at the pegasus towering over her.
Inkie returns from the room, thinking. ‘Who is “The Master”? Why would he want to get rid of us?’ She looks at the standoff before her.
‘Full Moon?’ she asks.
Full Moon looks her wife in the eyes. ‘Ready?’
‘I think I found a command center. It is...’
Full Moon turns and trots away. ‘About time. We will exterminate this Dalek scum and return home.’ She glances back and smirks. ‘I hope your body is ready for the celebration that will follow.’
Inkie gasps as her wife trots away. Mimi hisses again. The rest of the ponies follow their leader.
The Daleks are on high alert as the ponies make their way through their ship. Guards surround the command center, prepared for anything. Electrical energy surrounds a door. Two Daleks aim their lasers at the door. The door bursts from its frame, crushing them. A two-meter tall black pegasus in dark blue armor with an ethereal mane trots into the command center. Electricity crackles around her as laser blasts are deflected by her shield.
The Daleks shriek ‘Exterminate!’ as they try to repel the attacker.
Full Moon looks around the room and grins evilly. ‘In answer to your question: Yes, I am.’
Full Moon laughs as she electrocutes the Daleks. The aliens shriek in pain and are quickly silenced. The pegasus keeps up her assault after the screams have died.
‘Full Moon! Stop!’ Inkie shouts.
Full Moon snarls and ceases her attack. Inkie enters the command center and starts searching for a way to get home. Lucas and Mimi creep around the pegasus to help Inkie. Full Moon trots around the command center, knocking over Dalek armor, smiling as smoke escapes the shells.
‘Looks like there is a teleportation room near here,’ Inkie reports. ‘Thanks to somepony, the navigation is fried. We just have to activate a self-destruct or something, and we can escape without worry.’
‘Repair the navigation system,’ Full Moon commands. ‘We will take the fight to them. Wipe them out before they can become of a nuisance.’
‘Rei, are you insane!’
Full Moon turns and fires a Thunder Shot at Inkie. Lucas barely pulls his friend out of the way in time.
‘Don’t call me that! I am Full Moon! You will assist me in my conquest of the galaxy! We will exterminate the Daleks and everything else that threatens friends and family!’
Inkie glares up at Full Moon. ‘Then why don’t you start with yourself.’
‘WHAT!’
‘You claim to be Full Moon, but you are not. The real Full Moon is kind and gentle. She cares for her friends and family. She does not attack out of anger, nor does she instigate violence against others. She is an angel, not the the monster I see before me.’
‘How dare you! I am the true Full Moon! I am the one who will protect my home from all threats. If that means wiping out a few useless species along the way, so be it!’
‘You are not the real Full Moon. You are Nightmare Full Moon.’
Nightmare Full Moon raises a hoof and slaps Inkie. ‘You are my wife! You will do as I say!’
Inkie holds her wound. ‘I might be you wife, but you are not the Full Moon I fell in love with. Goodbye.’
Inkie turns and leads the others out. Nightmare Full Moon stands in the center of the command center and screams. Inkie silently weeps as she leads her friends away.
‘Inkie, I am so sorry...’ Lucas says.
‘She had given into her evil side. We lost a good friend,’ Mimi moans.
Suddenly, the ship rocks and an explosion is heard. Inkie stops. Her ears twitch and she smiles. She turns and gallops back to the command center. The room is destroyed. The consoles are all blown out. On a viewscreen, Equestria is quickly approaching. Inkie judges the ships angle and velocity to be too steep and too fast for the ship to survive atmospheric entry. In the center of the room, Rei weeps. The remains of her Moon Armor slowly dissolve around her. Inkie goes over to the weeping mare. Rei looks up and immediately turns away.
‘Go away,’ Rei sobs. ‘I’ll only hurt you again.’
‘That was Nightmare Full Moon,’ Inkie replies. ‘You are the real Full Moon.’
‘You can call me Rei if that is easier.’
Inkie hugs her wife. ‘I married Full Moon. I love Full Moon.’ She turns Rei to face her. ‘I love you, Full Moon.’
Inkie leans in and kisses her wife. The two ponies remain kissing as the ship enters the atmosphere. Lucas gallops over and taps the mares on the shoulder.
‘I hate to break you up,’ the stallion apologizes, ‘but Seaddle is coming up really fast. Hold on tight.’
Rei smiles and rubs her head against her wife’s chest. Inkie hugs the smaller mare. Mimi joins the ponies in the center of the room. Lucas charges a spell on his horn. The stallion stares at the viewscreen as a large mountain races towards them.
‘I love you guys,’ Rei coos as Lucas teleports his friends to safety.
