Chapter 9: Nightmare Moon Returns

Nyx was in the bedroom going through the toy box and found Twilight's Smarty Pants doll and played with it a little. She laughed an made funny noises to make sound effects as she played with other toys. The door opened and Spell Nexus entered. Nyx was surprised as she puts down the doll and stood up. "Who are you, stranger?" she asked.

"I am Spell Nexus, little one," Nexus replied. "I'm...a friend."

"Friend?"

"Oh yeah. I know all about you. Like the fact that Twilight and Charming Thunder don't talk to you very often. It makes you sad. Doesn't it?"

Nyx nervously rubbed her right arm as she replied, "Well, maybe a little now that you mention it."

"Have you ever thought of them as family?"

"Always, but I never asked them. Since they brought me in to stay, I was nervous to meet others. But now..."

"Now they are focused on a war instead of you." Nyx's eyes widened as she took a step back. "Let me ask you something; what if I could show you...the future?" Nexus took a step back as Nyx felt something in her mind.

"What are you doing? Stop it!!"

"Know yourself. Know what you really are." Blue mist surrounded Nyx as images appeared. She did not want to look as she covered her eyes.

"I will not look."

"I knew this would happen," Celestia's voice echoed as an image of her fired a beam of her magic.

"Nyx, please," Twilight's voice pleaded as she was choked by someone's magic.

"I trusted you, Nyx," Charming Thunder's voice yelled as he swung his lightsaber.

"Remember this day," Nightmare Moon's voice said. "For this will be your last. The night will last forever!!!" Screams were then heard as Nightmare Moon laughed. Nyx kneeled down as she tried not to believe what she is hearing.

"No!" Nyx shouted. "No! No! NOOOO!!" She then screamed into the air as an image of Nightmare Moon's face appeared as the sound of breathing echoed around her. The mist faded as Nyx collapsed to the floor.

"Now you know," Nexus said. "Let me help you." He then levitated a glove that Nightmare Moon made a thousand years ago. "Wear this and I promise you, you will get what you wish." Nyx looked up with tears in her angry eyes and grabbed the glove. When she puts it on, an explosion of dark magic erupted in the room and she levitated in the air. An orange orb surrounded her as she grew taller. Her mane and tail turned blue and began to flow. Then, her teeth grew sharp like a shark as she smiled evilly. When the transformation was complete, she has now become Nightmare Moon. She laughed menacingly as Nexus bowed down to her. Guards entered to see her and became shocked by her presence. Nightmare Moon then used her gloved arm to rise up shadow troopers and blasted them. she then turned into blue mist and flew through the glass window along with Nexus as more guards along with Vanguard enter to see her fly away to Canterlot.

"Looks like there is more to report to Lord Danny," Vanguard said.

---------------------

Charming Thunder, Twilight, Celestia, and Luna were in the throne room talking about a report that came in from imperial scientists. "And to conclude, the incinerator and carbonite droids are prepped for any upcoming battle as you requested," Luna said.

"Excellent," Charming Thunder replied. "Have some transported to the Consortium so that my brother can have some and-" His eyes widened in shock as he felt a presence. Something familiar from his dark past.

"What is it, love?" Twilight said as she placed a hoof on his shoulder.

Charming Thunder turned to the doorway and replied, "The cold." A lightsaber was then activated from behind them as a familiar chuckle gave them the chills. They turned to see Nightmare Moon herself. Charming Thunder got into his battle stance as he activated his lightsaber. He turned to Twilight and the princesses as they stood back. "Twilight, get yourself and the princesses out of here. I'll cover you." The three alicorns then made a run for it as Nightmare Moon approached. She then struck Charming Thunder and clashed with him. He noticed something different about her. Nightmare broke the clash and used her magic to push him back. He landed on his hooves and dashed towards her. She blocked his strikes as she was pushed back. When he was going for a jab, she grabbed his hoof and lifted him up then threw him to a wall. Charming Thunder was about to strike as he ran but Nightmare used her magic to levitate him and threw him to a pillar which caused him to drop his lightsaber.

"It is nice to see you, Charming Thunder," Nightmare Moon said as she approached him as he struggled.

---------------------

The princesses ran through the halls then stopped as shadow troopers came in aiming their weapons at them and surrounding them. Three of the shadow troops used their blasters and stunned them. "They'll be alright," a trooper said. "Inform Nightmare Moon that we have the princesses." They then picked up the princesses and carried them to the Canterlot dungeons.

---------------------

Nightmare Moon pressed buttons on the terminal and contacted Danny. The hologram of Danny appeared as she spoke, "Well, well, well. If it isn’t my son, Danny Eclipse."

"Hello, Nightmare Moon," Danny replied.

"Looking for Celestia and Luna? Unfortunately, they are no longer in control or ruling Equestria. Twilight and Charming put up a good fight though…too bad their under arrest and put into the dungeons." Anger grew into Danny's eyes.

"Hurt them and you die to my hooves. The Phantom Consortium will destroy your forces and retake Equestria!"

"Don’t worry about them; they are being treated like royalty down there. As from now on, from this day forward, the night shall last forever! And this is a new beginning of my new Empire, The Nightmare Empire!"

"We will fight to our last breath."

"Its war then."

"Seems like it." Danny's transmission ended as Nightmare Moon turned to the window.

"This will be a day long remembered. It has seen the defeat of Charming Thunder. It will soon see the end of Equestria." She then chuckled and laughed evilly as her plan was set into motion.
