"My name is Antasma. I am thee Bat King."

Everypony in the room was shocked by that answer. Well except one. Nightmare Moon never heard of him but she won't let anypony or in this case anyone get in her way. Just as she was about to speak, Rainbow spoke up, "Oh yeah? Then tell me, what makes you so special you so-called 'Bat King'." Everypony shook their heads in agreement.

Antasma only grinned as he said, "I am a nightmare." 

Now that shocked them more. Even the evil alicorn was surprised by that. A unknown being is a living nightmare. And it's a bat not to forget. Even before her banishment, Nightmare Moon never heard or knew that something like that existed but she didn't care. Antasma might be a threat to her plan and she would be damned if she let him come in her way. "I don't care who you are bat but if you dare to come in my way then I will destroy you." She spat at him, mostly the bat part. But he didn't seemed faced by that. He calmly said, "You vant to destroy me? Please. A vittle horse like vouldn't be able to beat somevun of your own size so shut up!" 

Nightmare's left eye began to twitch as she heard the insult and instantly shot a sky blue magic beam at him. Antasma only hold his right claw infront of himself, hold beam with small trouble back and threw at the dark alicorn. Surprised and shocked by that, not to forget that she didn't had any time to escape, the beam hit her and she was thrown into a wall. Her eyes were spinning in cartoon style and small Rainbow Dashs flew around her head before she it. "Is that everything you got? SCREEETCH! Vell vutever, I haff plans so bye." He said.

Antasma flew out of the window. Nightmare Moon wasn't done with him so she screamed, "NOT SO FAST!" But before she could fly after him, he disappeared in a black, purple cloud or to say it in another way, he teleported. The other ponies got fast out of their shock before they saw Nightmare Moon turning into mist that looked like her mane and tail. Rainbow tried to fly after her but was not fast enough. But the rainbow maned pegasus saw Twilight running out of the Townhall and towards the Golden Oaks Library.

*Later*

The Mane Six were now walking in the Everfree Forest, to get to the Castle of the two Royal Sisters and find the Elements of Harmony. Nightmare Moon gave them challenges, which they succeeded and without their knowledge, while Antasma watched in the shadows. After a while they got into the castle and found the elements. As Twilight tried to get sixth element, Nightmare Moon came and she and Twilight were teleported to another part of the castle.

As Twilights try to get the last element failed, Nightmare shattered them and thought she had won. But the rest of the Mane Six came, the Elements of Harmony were united and Nightmare Moon was defeated. But where the evil alicorn once was, was now light blue alicorn filly, which for some reason reminded Antasma of Dreambert. Then Princess Celeatia appeared, the ponies found out that she and Luna were sisters and returned to Ponyville.

But they didn't know that a part of Nightmare Moons spirit remained. Antasma took the opportunity and trapped her spirit in an Antasmunchie. He knew that she was glaring at him but only smirked. "I haff big plans und you might be of use. Soon I'm going to end vut I started so long ago, SCREEK! on that wretched Island." He cackled before breaking into an evil laugh.
