Keith, Ranger, and the now unconscious Nightmare appeared in front of the gates to the palace. "Was this really necessary" Ranger asked as she slightly pulled at the rope that Keith tied Nightmare up with.
"Extremely necessary, I don't want to miss the fun... And pain" Keith chuckled with his sadistic grin
"Umm Keith... Are you okay?" Ranger asked with concern
"Totally fine, Ranger" Keith spun and placed in front of hers. The turn caused Nightmare to slam into the wall. "Now, let's go" Keith chuckled "I hope I'm the executioner" Keith whispered as they walked to the hall
--------The Throne Room-------
"Please Princess we have to go after him before he does anything rash" Twilight begged Luna, all her friends nodded in agreement
Celestia walked up to Twilight from behind "I know your worried about Keith, but if Precise Shot is with him he won't do anything "rash" because that mare is the only good influence he has right now and-" The doors suddenly burst open to the throne room.
"I'm back everyone, and I brought a little gift!" Keith yelled as yanked on the rope over his shoulder causing the tied up Nightmare to fly over Keith and slam into the ground in front of him.
"KEITH!" Keith flinched at the yell "was it really necessary to kick the door open"
"... Yes?" Keith questioned
"No, no it wasn't, me and you are going to have a talk later"
"Fine" Keith sulked "so Sun But what do you want me to do with this bitch" Keith then pulled on the rope a few times to gesture... And for his amusement.
"Please place it in front of me Keith" Luna ordered
"Ah I did also learn that "it" is a girl" Ranger commented
"... Please place her in front of me Keith" Keith placed the tied up Nightmare at the feet of the throne
"So, what are we gonna do with her?" Keith asked
"I'm going to eat her"
The entire room fell silent "Umm what do you mean by that Luna?"
"Simple I'm going to eat the Nightmare that has encompassed her, and release her normal form"
"Oh thank... Whatever, you made it sound like you were actually going to eat her" Keith sighed in relief
"Well depending on how cute she is, I just might" Luna turned her head to Keith and winked at him. Keith blushed in response
"Oh and Keith, one more thing"
"Yes?"
"Hold her down"
"Penumbra, hear my command, Bind" The rope around Nightmare faded into blackness then into individual tentacles that each held one leg spread wide "all yours"
"Thank you, now" Luna's horn glowed brighter and brighter, at a point the amount of magic flowing through Luna's horn caused he to start floating, and her eyes to glow white. Luna opened her mouth and inhaled a black mist began to seep from Nightmare's horn. Luna continued to inhale only absorbing that which is magic from Nightmare, bothering nothing else in the area.
Slowly Nightmare's coat went from midnight black too crimson red, her mane went from a straight black too a simple purple. Her body shrunk down to the size of Applebloom. The wings faded into nothingness, and the horn turned small to fit her size, and it matched her coat in color. Luna descended to the floor and landed "Keith, you can release her now" The tentacles let go and formed back into the ball of shadows which Keith dispelled.
"So, what do we do with her now?" Keith asked
"Well, first we wake her up" Luna cleared her throat "WAKE UUUUUUP!" Luna shouted in her royal Canterlot voice.
The little foal's eyes snapped open in shock and just stared at Luna in shock. The green eyes locked onto Keith. The foal sniffled a few times then started to cry
"Luna sister, you can not just scare a little foal like that you have to be kind and gentle" Celestia turned to the foal and hugged her "No sweetie just calm down and tell us your name"
"Hey" Keith nudged Time who had just been sitting there quietly "do you remember that foal coming from Nightmare, cause I sure do"
"Yes this is quite the predicament" Time said keeping his composure, then "BUT SHE IS JUST TO CUTE!"
Keith just stared at time confused out of his mind
"Well sweetie what is your name?" Celestia asked again
The crying stopped down to a sniffle "I-I don't remember"
Celestia flinched at that "Well then tell me do you know where your parents are?"
The child just started to sob again "m-m-my mommy died in a fire"
"Shh shh shh it's okay, do you know where your daddy is?"
The foal just raised it hoof and pointed at Keith who was currently sidetracked by apologizing to Twilight about hitting her. "He is my daddy" the Foal whispered
Both the princess' eyes were wide, but Celestia finally managed to choke out "T-Then why are you crying young one?"
"Because she scared me" The foal pointed at Luna. The foal then jumped out of Celestia's metaphorical "arms" and ran to Keith. "Daddy" The foal spoke
Keith just stared at the foal in shock, so much shock to him in fact Dusk, Frost, Match, and Rose were ejected out of him, and those four were equally in shock along with the entire room "Umm I think you have me confused with someone else sweetheart"
The foal shook her head "No your defiantly my daddy" the foal said with a smile
Keith just stood there then after a few moments of silence he fell on his back and passed out
"DADDY!"
