	"Nightmare Moon?!" Twilight exclaimed, "How?! We restored Princess Luna to her rightful self!"
"Guards! Bring Princess Luna to me!" Princess Celestia shouted.
The guards scrambled off, as the group stood, pacing, and looking worried. Even Pinkie Pie, who was normally cheerful and happy, could feel the tense air.
Sora finally broke the silence.
"Who's Nightmare Moon?"
Twilight began to recall the tale of when she first moved to Ponyville, about how Princess Luna had become the dark mare of the night long ago, how Princess Celestia had imprisoned her in the moon, how she escaped, and how the Elements of Harmony had returned her to herself. Sora soaked up every bit of the information, and soon he too was worried.
The guards finally returned.
"Where is Luna?" the Princess asked.
"We can't bring her here. You'll have to go see her yourself."
Applejack responded.
"Ah don't like the sound of this."
The group of ponies and the former King of Chaos walked through the halls of Canterlot Castle in silence on their way to Luna's Chamber.
Upon their arrival, Sora was shocked at the sight.
Luna was inside a purple bubble, brimming on the outside with darkness, but she was sleeping peacefully inside.
He summoned the blade into his maw, and attempted to strike the bubble, but only succeeded in knocking himself backwards onto the floor.
It was then that a ghostly figure appeared in front of them. You could see him, but you could also see through him! And then Princess Luna's heart began to exit her body.
"Well well well. Greetings, my little ponies, and of course our dear 'Princess' Celestia." the figure with glowing green eyes said as he held the heart in his hoof, "Welcome to the beginning of the end."
"Put Princess Luna's heart back!" Sora shouted.
"Ha. As if I would do something rash and wrong like that." the figure said, as Luna and her bubble began to disappear, "Now, let's put her heart in a more suitable vessel."
Suddenly another erethreal figure began to appear, which somewhat looked like Luna, but taller, with a mane that looked more like dark fire than hair, and with a dark faceplate covering part of her face. As the heart entered into the figure's body, she began to solidify. Soon, she was fully in a body once again.
The ponies began to retreat as the figure advanced on them, and the other figure began to dissapear.
"HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA! It's good to be whole again." the figure said.
"Nightmare Moon!" Twilight shouted.
"Yes, I'm sure everypony knows my name already. And now, I think I shall remake this castle in my own glorious image," she said, firing a dark beam which trapped Princess Celestia in a bubble, as she too began to disappear.
"What have you done to her!" Rarity shouted, "return her this instant!"
"Oh, I shall return your dear Princess. AFTER we turn her into a Heartless!" Nightmare Moon said, retreating into a corridor of darkness as Heartless began to form around them.
"We defeated you once and we'll do it again!" Rainbow Dash cried out, attempting to fly into the corridor, but with it disappearing before she could reach it.
"We've got bigger problems right now, everypony...." Sora shouted, summoning his blade once again.
The six ponies attempted to summon their own blades, but could not.
"Sora! Why can't we wield the keyblades anymore?" Twilight asked as the group huddled together.
"I don't know..... Try to look deep into your heart!"
The six ponies reached into the deepest depths of their hearts, and six blades appeared once again.
Discord flew above them, preparing his claws and paw for a battle.
Seven ponies, each with a Keyblade in their mouths, batted Heartless upon Heartless using both their blades and their talents, everything from an applebuck to the jaw to a party cannon into the gut to a rainbow tornado lifting up the group of monsters, as the blades cut them into pieces.
"There's too many!" Fluttershy yelped.
"I have an idea! Remember what happened with the Heartless last time? Well, let's do it again! Stick your blades into the center!" Sora responded.
"Oooh! And then do we press triangle to initiate the reaction command?" Pinkie asked.
"Say wha- Never mind. Just do it!"
The six ponies stuck their blades into a ring, as Sora inserted his as well.
"Light!"
The spectacular rainbow was released once again, slaying each and every Heartless in the room.
