Luna broke through the door and found her dear sister on the floor in agony. 

"Princess! I'm sorry! I tried to stop her but… PRINCESS!" The Captain's last word was shouted in worry and fear.

"SISTER! WHAT HAST THOU DONE?" Luna, for once, sounded grown up. That made Celestia sad.

"I'm afraid I grew a bit jealous of you and your night, Lulu. Solar Flare is trying to control me! I can't hold on much longer, sister! She will destroy you!" Tia's voice was full of fear.

"No, Tia, you had no cause to be jealous." Luna said softly. She watched in fear as Celestia's beautiful white fur flashed gold and her mane seemed to ignite. Celestia struggled and turned herself normal. 

"NO! SOLAR FLARE! I SHALL BE YOUR DOOM!" Shouted the night Princess. Her horn lit up with a blue light. Solar Flare screamed inside of Celestia before she was brought out.

"Lulu! What did you do?" Celestia demanded.

"Sister, Equestria needs you. Please, Tia, I've taken your darkness into myself. You need to be strong. Do what you have to do.

"Luna No!" Shouted the white mare.

"I love you, Tia." Luna said as a tear slid down her face.

"I love you too, Lulu." Tia said. Those were the last words Luna heard before she was consumed by darkness. In the place of sweet, little Luna towered a mare taller than Celestia herself, and blacker than the dark side of the moon.

The dark mare knocked Celestia down. "Long last the night." The nightmare said as she prepared to slam her forelegs into the Princess's head. Tia turned her face away, prepared for the fatal blow.
