"Luna, please, it doesn't have to be this way!" Celestia pleaded.
"I said before, Luna is dead!" Nightmare Moon snarled as she blasted another beam of magic at the princess.
"I'm sorry." The white Alicorn's eyes teared up as she dodged the attack. "You force my hoof." The Elements of Harmony floated up behind her, and they began to glow. "I love you" Celestia whispered.
"NO!" The dark mare shouted. She reached out to Luna's three Elements in desperation. Loyalty, Laughter, and Generosity refused to listen to the Princess, even when she connected with them. She grinned an evil smirk as she ordered the Elements to attack herself. The Elements adamantly refused to do so. The six sparked out, the three under Celestia's command were not powerful enough to defeat the Nightmare.
"What now?" Nightmare Moon gloated. "Your Elements failed you, and I've practically defeated you already. Not so mighty now."
Celestia stood shakily on her hooves. "I will never yield to you! I will protect Equestria with my life! You cannot beat me!" Celestia powered up her horn and shot a large beam of magic directly at the Dark pony. Nightmare's pupils dilated in fear as she hastily shot a dark beam back at Celestia. The Magic connected mere feet from Nightmare Moon, but it quickly moved backwards. Celestia's eyes shown with fear as it quickly approached her horn. Celestia used her magic to divert the beams into a pillar beside them. Exhaustion made the alicorn wobble on her hooves, but she refused to fall.
"I have a surprise for you, Celestia. I freed an old friend before I came. Say hello to Sombra." The dark unicorn entered at her words. His fangs shown with sick joy.
"Hello, Celestia." He said. Celestia stared in disbelief.
"It can't be..." She mumbled. A cry of pain tore from her throat as Nightmare Moon struck her in the back. Celestia fell to the ground, tears flowed from her eyes. "Please..." She pleaded.
"SILENCE, YOU CUR!" Nightmare yelled as she slammed her hooves on the ground with force enough to shatter the marble floor around her. Her horn lit up with a dark aura, and Celestia was dragged to a pillar beside the throne. Black chains shot out and grasped the Princess by her hooves, her neck and one around her middle pinning her wings. "You, too weak to defend your kingdom. Perhaps it's better for me to be queen. Don't bother trying to escape, pet." Her horn ignited again and a dark aura surrounded Celestia's horn, and it absorbed the light. "You've cast your last spell. And so have your precious ponies." An evil glint shown in her eyes. Her flowing mane grew and seemed to fill the room as she cast the same spell on every unicorn in Equestria. "Sombra and I have the only magic now. None can oppose my rule!" an evil chuckle finished the statement.
Celestia's eyes went white. "A thousand years thy reign shall last, but then thou shall pay for thy past. The Twilight shall come, the Sun will rise, and then thou shall meet thy demise." The voice carried more power than the tattered body appeared to contain.
Nightmare Moon laughed, but fear shown in her eyes. Prophecy was something that could change, and this one would have to be stopped.
