Meadow Weave: The Castle
Once I got to the doors, the Castle looked fine, and the noise had stopped. I slowly opened the door, and i saw the same thing as last time. There was streamers hung, made of intestine. I slowly made my way to the steps into the Throne Room. My steps were slow and clumsy, I couldn’t bring myself to understand the horror laid out before me. I walked up the steps, one hoof at a time, and as I finally made my way into the room, I saw my friend, Apple Jack, lying on the ground, her limbs all hacked off, and the cuts cauterized to stop the bleeding from killing her. She lay there in intense agony and pain, she, with her last breath, told me that Celestia needed my help now, and that she didn’t know if the other six had made it. I couldn’t leave AJ there in such pain, so I called out to somepony to help, but nopony came. I did the only thing I could, I had to put her out of her misery. I took the knife lying next to her, and I stabbed her in the heart, killing her.
I followed the intestines into the next room, the dining room. In there Princess Cadence was cut into different sizes and shapes as to fit the plates and platters. Her brain matter was squashed and poured into different bowls, and her blood was in the chalices on the table. Her stomach was cut open and filled with dirt and grass seeds. The grass had begun to grow right in front of my eyes spelling the words, You can’t stop us.
I stumbled out of the room only to find Rarity on the steps dead. She was skinned and all that was left was her cutie mark for me to distinquish her. Her skin was hung over the fire place in the dining room, and her eyes replaced the eyes of the pony in the painting. Her blood was slowly becoming the new wallpaper, her tongue was cut out and stuffed into her nostrils. She lie there, in a state that would have looked as though she was sleeping if she had her skin and eyelids back, and her tongue was placed in her mouth.
I quickly ran out of that room up to the next one where I found her. My best friend since flying school. The one pony I truly loved and cared for very deeply. Lying with nails through her body to hold her to the wall was my Rainbow Dash. My Dashie. I...I almost couldn’t bare it. She was strung up, and the nails pierced her skin. I tried to get them out, but they were too far in. At my last tug on the nail, she awoke. She gave a little whimper and told me she was sorry. She told me she was sorry for all those times she was mean to me and never apologized, she was sorry for not being there for me in my moments of need. She was sorry for not appreciating me enough. She told me that she was most sorry for never telling me how she felt, and now me would never get a chance to show me. In her last breath she told me she loved me and was sorry for not living long enough to tell me this in time. At those words, a huge sword sprouted out of her chest cavity, tearing out of her lungs, through her skin, and shattering the bone as it went through, the blade was red hot and steaming. The blood boiled as it touched it.
Twilight’s head came around the corner with a terrible grin. I was so sad, but then I felt a fury and an anger I had never felt before, so much so I disregarded any feelings I might have had for Twilight before, any pain I might experience by fighting her, but I had to. She killed my Dashie. My best friend and love of my life. I grabbed the sword and, even though it burned my skin and boiled my blood to nothing, pulled it the rest of the way through Rainbow. I grabbed the hilt after it came out and turned to where Twilight’s head once was. The blade cut right through the wood of the door frame. Twilight jumped out and slugged me in the face. My Jaw was was shattered I could feel it. The blood rage was still going for me though, and as I swung the sword at Twilight’s face I heard something in my head say no, but I didn’t care. She killed my best friend and now she was going to die. I cut her head right off and it rolled off and hit the floor, bouncing a couple of times. A black smoke curled off of her body, and I knew exactly who had cursed her to do this.
Twilight was dead. I felt great about it at first, but then I began crying. I realized all of my friends were dead, and I didn’t know where Pinkie was. All I knew was I had to make sure the Princesses were okay. I rushed into the spiral staircase room, and I went all the way up to the observation tower. Celestia was alive and fighting alongside Luna’s side. They were fighting Meadow Weave, but it looked to me like Meadow was winning. I had no idea how, but she was. Meadow finally got a hit on Luna, and she fell down, and with Luna stunned she turned to Celestia with a look of sudden malice and hatred I had never expected to see on her face, then she looked at me and smiled a smile as if asking for my appreciation of her work. She looked down at Luna one last time before casting a spell on her. As Luna died, she slowly changed shape and size and color. I had no idea what was happening, but then I slowly realized.
I looked back at Meadow Weave, but she wasn’t Meadow Weave any longer. She had also changed, and she was now everypony’s worst nightmare, the thing we hide from at night. The reason we never go outside at night except on Nightmare Night. The thing we all give a little candy to at the end of Nightmare Night. Standing before me and Celestia was Nightmare Moon. She gave me a look of slight confusion, like she was confused that I was confused. I looked back at what was just barely Princess Luna, but it was Meadow Weave. She lie there, and looked at me and with that look and I realized what had happened. Nightmare had used her magic to change forms with Meadow, committing terrible crimes in her form. The entire time Meadow Weave was stuck looking like Princess Luna, performing her responsibilities and duties. She might have been strong enough to bring the moon up at night, but not strong enough to fight Nightmare Moon.
A white hot light flashed before my eyes, coming straight out of Nightmare’s Horn. It hit Meadow squarely in the chest, and she incinerated before my eyes. There was nothing I could do, it all happened too fast. Nightmare turned to look at me and said, “Say goodbye to your princess, little one.” She turned and looked right at Celestia and, starting quietly said, “You always got the attention big sister, but who is bigger now? Who is better now, huh? You sent me to the moon because I wanted things equal! How would you like everypony everywhere to hide from your sun, and come out during my night! How would you like it?!” With that she stunned Celestia with her magic. While she was stunned she used her magic to form an injection of tranquilizer. She injected Celestia with it, making her go into a deep sleep. She turned to me and looked at me with a pleased and dark look. She said, “Kneel to your new Queen, me, Nightmare Moon!” I felt my knees give out and all I could do was kneel, I couldn’t move at all.
Using her magic she forced my head to a point that I could see what she was doing. She took Celestia’s wing in her mouth and slowly began tugging. She looked over at me and smiled. She tore at the wing with her mouth tearing it off of Celestia’s body. Celestia awoke with a scream. She turned to me with a begging look in her eyes. I couldn’t do anything, and then Nightmare took Celestia's horn in her mouth, and ripped it right out of socket. She tore it out and shoved it in her sister’s mouth. I could only watched in agonizing terror. I couldn’t stop it from Nightmare from killing Celestia and thats when it happened. She came zooming out of nowhere and pounded Nightmare right in the face. It was a quick blur of pink, and the queen looked up and took the horn out of her mouth and smiled at the pink blur, then looked at me and smiled and turned to Nightmare and simply said, “It is done.” The pink blur came back and kicked Nightmare in the chest, sending her reeling backwards. She stood up and began to slowly fly upward until she was above the pink blur. Nightmare shouted, “Show yourself, Mortal!” And the pink blur stopped moving. After the dust had settled, and we could all see clearly we saw Pinkie Pie standing there with wings and a horn.
Princess Celestia looked at me and said with a small smile, “I gave her wings and a horn, turning her into an Allicorn princess. She is the only one powerful enough to stop Nightmare Moon.” At that she died. I slowly got the strength to stand up, and I watched as Pinkie put the beat down on Nightmare. Nightmare finally got a hit on her, sending her flying the the ground far below. Nightmare flew at her and kicked her in the chest, sending pinkie deep into the ground. When all seemed lost, Pinkie flew out of the crater and bicycle kicked Nightmare all the way up to the tower. This time I was ready. Nightmare flew up and pinkie grabbed her from behind and tore off her horn. She brought her down to the tower, where I was waiting. Once she was in reach, I grabbed her head, and as I tilted her head I tilted my head as well, until I quickly moved my hooves the other way, snapping her neck in my hands. her body went limp immediately in Pinkie’s arms. She dropped her on the observation tower floor, and turned to face me. I looked at her, and we both nodded.
Epilogue
1 Year Later
This is Pinkie Pie! So after me and Fluttershy killed Nightmare, we had to re-establish all of Equestria. We were the new princesses, I the princess of Party, and Fluttershy the princess of Kindness and Wildlife. We Brought order to the land, and had to learn how to raise the sun and the moon. That was hard. We had no mentor, no help, and no books to read on it. We had to learn how to keep Equestria in order, how to deal with crime, and we had to re-populate all of Canterlot. Many ponies moved here to help. Me and Fluttershy have come to a conclusion that it will take about 15-20 years for everything to get better. That is all for now.
Pinkie and Flutter, out.
