       "Hello, girls," Nightmare Moon said evilly. She hissed and began to circle them. "Why did you ever come down here. Haven't you heard. No one likes a snitch." The words sounded so snakelike, they thought she wasn't real. But she was real. Too real. "Sunset, darling! Why ever did you abandon my tasks?" Nightmare Moon stared into Sunset's eyes. 
Sunset thrusted her head sideways and murmured,"You are no person. You are only evil. I don't want to be like you anymore." Nightmare Moon threw herself toward Sunset, inches away from her face. She raised a claw and held it to her neck. 
"You don't dance with the devil. Oh, no. You are smart enough to know this. Correct?" Sunset raised her head higher and didn't answer. Nightmare Moon stood up and the pieces of the floor they were laying on raised up and set them forward so their feet almost touched the floor. They're faces turned to a determined grimace. They both stared at her. Nightmare Moon turned to Twilight and said,"Oh, Twilight. You were betrayed. Sunset knew I was here. She led you straight here. She put the spell on Pinkie Pie. She put the book in my sister's office. She was the one who led me to my true form." 
"Don't listen to her!" Sunset yelled, "She's just trying to get under your skin!" 
Twilight stared at her and said sadly, "Is it true?" Sunset didn't answer. "Is it true!" 
"No, Twilight, no! None of it!" Twilight turned away, not believing Sunset. 
"You want revenge, don't you? You know it's a lie. Go on. You have my blessing." Nightmare Moon smiled as the cuffs released her. Twilight fell to her hands and knees. She stood and walked over to Sunset Shimmer. 
Sunset was whispering, "Nightmare." She stared into her eyes. They had turned dark blue just as Pinkie Pie's had. 
Twilight yelled, "The reign of darkness is no more!" Sunset's eyes changed. They were normal again. Sunset's cuffed released her and Twilight caught her. 
They both turned to Nightmare Moon and chanted together, "The reign of darkness is no more!" There was blinding light and Nightmare Moon rose up. The armor fell off her and there was a giant explosion.
