Most Wonderful of Nights

Lonely Night Part 2

Night woke up to whispers all around. She sees a strange blue mist around her. "H-hello... Who a-are you?" Night asks the slightest amount of fear in her voice.

There are small orbs in the mist; they glow a heavenly blue but it is very faint, not enough to illuminate the darkness "We are what you seek, are we not?" One of the orbs states in a vaguely female whisper.

"But I thought they were... Stone" Night hesitantly states.

"Oh we were. The scent of our champion released us. The other champion, where is she?" The orb flys around her slowly "The other two didn't awaken"

Night looked at them "I didn't bring her with me. She wasn't ready" Night looked down slightly.

"We see. Follow us please" The orbs spin around each other as the blue mist moves away. Night quickly jumps to her hooves and follows them, she seems much more attuned to the dark as she runs for the temple.

By the time Night arrived the two orbs had disappeared. The temple was a glowing white light and Night was blinded for a few moments. When her eyes settled she looked around the room at the white walls with golden highlights. She was amazed and a bit sickened by the sight. She looked back from where she came and where her hooves made contact, darkness was spreading through the temple. She grinned at that. Looking forward she saw a white gold and marble alter with four gems imbedded in the top. Two of a dark, rich blue and two green as envy. Night levitates the gems with her magic and in an instant darkness from where the gems lay overwhelms the temple.

"My Queen there is trouble!" A changeling guard yells as he bursts in the door. "Its the hatchery" The guard collapses in exhaustion before he can say more.

"My children!? Guards go to the hatchery see what it is, I'll be down soon" Chrysalis steps off her thrown as her guards run down stairs to the crystal caves. Chrysalis starts walking down the stairs as well, not knowing what she might find.

When Chrysalis walked down to the crystal caves she noticed the gems were off colour, slightly darker than they used to be. As she walked the crystal walls started becoming covered in the hard, black resin like surface changelings made their hives out of. She walked through the winding tunnels eventually making her way all the way to the other side of the cave system where she had the hatchery built.

"W-what is this?" Chrysalis gasped looking upon the hatchery. Clusters of eggs had been moved to make way for three dark purple crystals growing out of the floor. They pulsated with energy and were visibly gathering magic from somewhere beneath.

With no warning the eggs that were between them were pushed outwards. None were damaged but that didn't calm the shaky Changeling's nerves. The crystals fired some kind of black, green and purple energy into the centre of the three. After a few moments it stopped and had left something behind; a body. "

Guards! Stand by! Ready yourselves" Chrysalis barked noticing the new comer in the centre of the foreign gems. As ordered by their queen, six large Changelings stood at attention either side of her. They were bent down and exposing their teeth, ready for a fight.

The form started to move, shakily and began to climb to its feet. It was shrouded in darkness and didn't have any defining features. All of a sudden the darkness started lifting from it, hooves first.

The creature had shinny, purple armoured boots on all four of its hooves and had a dark blue almost black coat. As the darkness started raising further Chrysalis and the Changelings around her watched in awe as slowly, Nightmare moon was revealed in dark purple armour and her moon cutie mark was sealed with two white gems on either side of her armour where it would normally be.

Chrysalis's jaw dropped seeing her in this state. "What happened? How did you get in here? I watched you go into your room!" She yelled confused a more than a little scared.

"Don't worry. This is how we will beat my former sister" Two green gems floated either side of Night as she walked forward "Ready?" She asked with an excited tone.

"For what?" Chrysalis said still scared.
