//------------------------------// // Chapter 5: Downfall of the Moon // Story: Anti-Loyality // by SlayGuy295 //------------------------------// Somewhere in the Everfree forest, Sombra was wondering through it while he was waiting for his daughter to accomplish her task. He was so excited to get rid of the princesses and taking over Equestria to himself. Suddenly, an unknown pony, who's the same size as Celestia, stood behind him. He smiled and says, “Well… hello… my old apprentice.” The shadow hide his identity as he stood beside his master and spoke, “Welcome back, my master. I'm sorry that I haven't regenerate you. I was taking care of some problems.” “It's alright, my student. I have a plan to make rid of the princesses and finally take over Equestria.” “All of these years of planning to rule over this kingdom shall finally comes true tonight. When should I step in?” “Do not worry, my apprentice. Soon, my daughter shall do all of the work for us. She has single handed defeated two princesses.” “Amazing. Aren't you worry about if she might fail you? Fail us?” “Do not worry, for I have a backup plan installed in her if she'd failed.” “What is it, my master?” “Something that my wife shall never resist,” Sombra laughed sinisterly. “She shall do it in order to save the one she loves.” Meanwhile, in Canterlot, Twilight and the others rushed the wounded inside the castle. After they've sealed the doors, a patrol of guards spotted them and rushed to their aid. A captain questioned the princess confused, “Princess Twilight, what's going on? What happened to Princess Cadance and Commander Shining Armor?” She responded without answering his questions, “No time to explain, captain. We need to lock and secure the castle; we're under attack. Where's Princess Celestia and Princess Luna?” “Princess Luna is in her room while Princess Celestia is in the throne room, awaiting for the meeting. But what do you mean we're under attack?” “Somepony is plotting to overthrow Celestia and take over Equestria. I brought all of my friends here for mine and their own protection.” “I understood, Princess Twilight. It's a good thing one of your friends made it here before y’all arrival.” “Thank you cap-” She stopped after hearing the captain mentioned one of her friends arrived. “Wait! Who arrived here first?!” “I didn't recognize her voice nor appearance.” He looks over to the princess friends and remembered. “I think her name is Rainbow Dash.” She was shocked. She turned toward the others and they were terrified as well. They knew that Rainbow Dash already beat them her. She asked the captain, “Where did she go? Did she mentioned anything about who she's seeing?” “She did mention that she was going to see Princess Luna,” the captain responded. “Oh no.” Finally, Twilight and the others left the wounded and Cutie Mark Crusaders with the soldiers while they're hurry themselves to Luna aid. Meanwhile, in Princess Luna bedroom, she has awaken from her slumber and prepared herself for the meeting. She washed her face and brushing her flowing mane. Suddenly, she stopped and stared at the mirror. She turned around and yelled at the shadow, “Come out, Rainbow Dash!” The possessed pegasus stepped out of the shadow and appeared before the princess. She smiled and laughed, “You really are the princess of the night.” “It would appears my foolish step brother has returned and turned thou into his mindless slave.” “Actually, my daddy was happy enough to open my eyes and revealed all of you princesses sinister plot,” Rainbow corrected her. “What are thou talking about,” Luna asked confused. “Y’all plan to destroy Equestria and slaughtering millions of innocent ponies,” she shouted in anger. The princess was upset by what Sombra had done to the young pony. “My poor little niece,” she said, “it would appears that your father had spoken nothing but lies to you, so you may follow his nefarious ways.” “Shut up. I'm not being brainwashed by my father. I trusted him with my life. I wouldn't trust my life in you disgusting princesses hooves.” The princess shook her head in disappointment and resumed, “I’m so sorry for you, young Rainbow. I will find a way to bring thou back to normal.” She laughed at her promise. “Please! After everything you've done, I don't believe that you will do any good deeds ever since you turned into-” “Don't you dare mention it, Rainbow Dash,” she shouted. “Alright… I won't,” Rainbow Dash said. Then, she formed a evil grin and spoke, “Nightmare Moon. HAHAHAHA-” Suddenly, she was blasted by her own aunt. The possessed pegasus fallen to her knees and began sobbing from the pain. Princess Luna loosen her anger and aided to her niece. “Rainbow Dash, I must say I’m so sorry. I never meant to hurt thou that hard. Are you-” Luna was cut off guard by her niece tackle. The evil pony laughed, “You princesses are so easy to trick. If y’all left your guards down, then y’all we be defeated and destroyed easily. Just like the last two I’ve taken care of.” “What did thou mean,” she asked confused. Then, it hit her. She regained her anger and yelled, “Who did thou harmed before thou went towards me?!” Rainbow smiled and gave her a wink. Fire spark in her eyes as she knocked her niece off of her. “HOW DARE YOU TO HARM TWILIGHT SPARKLE AND CADANCE,” she roared in her Equestrian voice. As she gotten up, blood was dripping out of her mouth. As she wrapped it away, she grinned and laughed, “Ha… That's more like it.” They both ready themselves for the fight between alicorn and pegasus. Luna pleaded to her niece before the fight could begin, “Please don't do this.” Rainbow responded that will cause her aunt to strike first, “Bring it on… bitch.” Then, the princess was insulted by her niece and began to charge towards her. Rainbow Dash charged towards her aunt as well. Luna charging her horn for her first attack. They were about to make contact with each other, until the corrupt pony jumped and landed on top of her. She grabbed whole of the princess neck while riding her like a bull. The princess even to knock her off of her back, but the rainbow pony isn't letting go. Finally, Luna blinded her niece with her magic and knocked her off. As she was laying on the floor, Luna began firing her magic at her. Unfortunately, Rainbow kept dodging her attacks and hope if the princess will ran out of stamina. However, her aunt manage to hit her and the rainbow pegasus was stun. Luna landed right in front of her niece as the possessed pony stood helplessly. The princess of the night stared down at her and demanded, “Rainbow Dash, surrender now or I will use force! Even, if you're family.” While Princess Luna was charging her blast, the only thing that she didn't know about her niece is the horn of Monster X injected into her. Rainbow Dash slowly used her limited movement and bitten her aunt, which transferred the stun magic into her. Now, it's her aunt who's helpless to her niece. Rainbow smiled at her helpless aunt and laughed, “This is too good. The mighty Nightmare Moon gotten defeated and trick by a pegasus! Oh, how perfect!” She gave the princess an uppercut and brought her to the ground. As she was trotting around her, “The great Nightmare Moon has defeated her pathetic older sister. Now, you gotten beaten by her own niece, who even isn't a alicorn. You’ve been here for thousands of years, without aging, and learn to fight against many threats. Sadly, you can't even beat me.” She stand on top of her. “Now, prepare to be brought down by one of your own.” Then, she began punching and kicking her in the chest. Next, she grabbed Luna neck and began punching her face. Finally, she began to choke her. Rainbow laughed sinisterly, “I will be the first to waste away a princess immortality!” Suddenly, she was interrupted by the reappearance of her friends. She found Twilight and Starlight bursts into the room and blasted their friend off of Luna. After the others joined, Rainbow Dash gotten up and whined, “Oh for Pete sake!” Pinke cut in, “Who's Pete? And leave him out of this, Dashie!” “Not now sugarcube,” Applejack said. “Sorry to cut this reunion short,” Rainbow mockingly said, “but I have somewhere to be.” She jumped in the air and opened the window. “It's funny that y’all left the two couples and those three brats alone and unprotected. Leaving me to play with them. Sooo… lates!” She escaped out of the window and flew down. Twilight turned to the others and said, “Girls, hurry up and get down stairs and protect the others. Me and Starlight with help Luna and chase after Rainbow. Go!” The others rushed out of the room, leaving Twilight and Starlight assisting the princess. “Princess Luna, are you going to be alright?” Luna slowly got herself up, trying to ignore the wounds, and responded, “I will make it. I faced worse back then. Right now, we must stop Rainbow Dash before it's too late. Now, let's go!” Finally, the three of them rushed out of the window and went after her. Sadly, they didn't know that the evil pony was standing next to the window outside. After they've went passed her, she laughed, “Idiots. I can't believe they actually buy that.” She stared at the top level of the castle, “Sorry daddy, but I want to fight mommy Celestia alone.” She spread her wings into the sky and resumed, “I defeated those other losers, so that means I can beat my lazy ass mother. Once I defeated my mother, I will take over Canterlot for my father. Look out mom, because the Rainbow Dash is coming to end you… once and for all!” She rushed up and ready herself for the final battle.
