Theme:
POV: The Nightmare
The sky above Canterlot is filled with flying saucers and creatures that look like salt-shakers pour out of them. Flying down and screaming,"EXTERMINATE!" as they blast every living thing in sight with their lasers.
One hovers in front of the Nightmare who just looks at it in confusion before asking,
“Okay, quick question if you’re willing, what in the buck are you?”
“Exterminate!” The Dalek says as it shoots the Nightmare with a laser.
“GGGRAAAAGGGHHHH!!!!” the Nightmare screams as the beam feels like it permeated it’s whole body, but it’s body flushes with shadow and its remaining two eyes glow in anger.
“Now that was rude…” it growls.
“Impossible! Nothing can survive the Daleks!” it says as it tries to shoot again, but the Nightmare ducks under it and tackles it, taking hold of the eye stalk.
“Daleks heh? Well that’s a stupid name,” it taunts.
“Daleks are superior, Daleks will purge this world-*crack* VISION IMPAIRED!”
The Nightmare tears off the Dalek's eye stalk before saying,
“We kind of already did that trash can, and” it leans in closer, “We don’t like competition!” it growls as it tears the top half of the Dalek off.
“Dalek destroyed! Exterminate the Dark Tailed Creature! Exterminate!” cry more warbled voices, followed by more shots.
“Aaaahhhh!!!” screams the Nightmare, “Those hurt you buckers!” it screams launching itself at the Daleks, using it's clawed hooves, nightmare tails, and magic blasts to destroy Daleks left and right. Eventually this grabs the attention of the Daleks and the majority of the invading Dalek forces converge on the Nightmare. While most creatures would be shivering in fear with just one Dalek trying to kill them, the Nightmare when confronted by dozens...
"BRING IT ON YOU SALT-SHAKERS!!!"
Yeah... Let's see how our heroes are doing...
POV Change: Bugze(You)
The Daleks start to stream out of the ships, attacking anything in site. Any poor ponies who haven't made it to the shelters in time are now nothing but pry to the Daleks and the Nightmare. You can only gulp in fear as you think,
Well...our chances of surviving just dropped down to zero.
You snap out of it through as you hear Celestia ask,
“What are these things Doctor?”
The Doctor gives a sad sigh as he turns around and tells Celestia,
“Daleks…my oldest enemies.”
“What do they want?” asks Cadance.
You take over for the Doctor as you say,
“Death…death of any creature that isn’t Dalek. They see themselves as the highest beings in the universe and that all other life is below them, so they decide to rid the universe of these lower beings via death ray.”
The Doctor and Derpy looks at you in surprise as you say in a deadpanned tone,
"What? I'm a huge fan of your show remember? You think I wouldn't remember the most terrifying species in the universe?"
The Doctor and Derpy shake off their surprise as Derpy asks
"What are they doing here Doctor?"
"I don't know Derpy. I'm guessing that they are here to exterminate what's left of Equestria." The Doctor replies before he starts to pace back and forth while thinking of a way to live through all this.
"Well look on the bright side, at least the Nightmare is still here." you said trying to brighten up this grim dark world.
"How is that a bright side?" everyling asked in deadpanned voice.
"Use your heads guys. The Nightmare is really powerful so he can withstand any Dalek weapon. So when they try to destroy him, he will destroy them instead and we rap up where we left off and get the buck out of here. All we got to do is sit back have a few drinks and wait it out until all this blows over" you said thinking that plan might work. Sadly that was short lived.
"There is a problem with that; There is an army of Daleks out there so at least a dozen will be on top of us in a few seconds and they will kill us all before the Nightmare can finish them off." The Doctor replied.
It takes a few minutes for this to go through your thick skull, and when it does there's only two words you can say to express how much trouble you're all in...
"Oh bugger."
Luna rolls her eyes at your antics as she asks the Doctor...
“What can we do?"
But before the Doctor or you can answer (which you would have respond with "Run like bucking Tartarus") as a explosion is heard within the castle. The Daleks burst in through the hole and into the Palace and attempt to shoot everypony.
The Daleks begin yelling,
"INFERIOR LIFE FORMS DETECTED! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!"
Soon death lasers are being blasted all over the room. Everyling takes a dive for cover, but Celestia is too late as a blast hits her and she collapses. Your eyes widen in horror as you think she's dead, but the Doctor (who's hiding with you) shakes his head as he says,
"Don't worry, she's fine. The blast merely hurt her. Dalek lasers aren't as effective with killing when he comes to alicorns."
You are about to express your doubt when you see Celestia suddenly get up and blast on of the Dalek's to pieces! This catches the remaining Daleks attention as one of them shouts,
“Impossible! The horned and winged ones are immune!"
A crash is heard, as the Daleks swivel around and see Derpy, having tripped while trying to get into the TARDIS. Panic shoots through you and the Doctor as they advance on her.
"Inferior Life Form! Ex..."
The Daleks then notice The TARDIS. You gulp slightly at this as you and the Doctor are hiding behind it. But you feel relief as they haven't notice you, just the spaceship of their arch-nemesis.
...
Wait a second....
“Impossible!”
“A TARDIS?!”
"You! Female! Who's TARDIS is that?"
Derpy gets up and stands her ground, facing them.
"You know who it belongs to...The Doctor," she says.
The Daleks start quivering as they seem nervous.
"Impossible!"
“The Time Lords Are No More,”
“You shall be exterminated! The Doctor is No More!”
“I wouldn’t say that gents,” the Doctor says as he walks out from behind the TARDIS and in front of Derpy.
The Daleks all look at the Doctor in what you guess is shock as they shout in...fear?
“THE DOCTOR LIVES?!”
“THE DOCTOR IS HERE?!”
“Maybe not your Doctor, but yes The Doctor lives,” he calmly tells them.
“EXTERMINATE!!!” they all shout.
You push the Doctor and Derpy out of the way while putting up a forcefield, causing the death beams aimed at him to bounce back. A few of the Daleks manage to dodge them, while the others get hit and are destroyed. The remaining Daleks aim their weapons at you but Cadence and Luna manage to take them out before they could fire.
As you and the others catch your breaths, you hear Selena comment in your mind,
It seems hard to believe that these things are such galactic terrors, as ridiculous as they look.
Silly or not, these things are flippin horrifying, you answer.
I know, your knowledge of the serial has shown me that, be careful Bugze
Don't I always? you jibe
No, she answers.
Your eyes widen as you chuckle nervously,
Oh, right...
After a few more minutes of rest the Doctor takes out his Sonic Screwdriver and starts scanning one of the dead Daleks. After a few minutes he sighs and puts the screw diver away. After that he clears his throat as he says,
"Alright everypony, I have some good news and bad news."
You look at the Doctor already dreading the news as you ask,
"What's the good news?"
"Well the good news is that most of the Daleks are busy trying to kill the Nightmare."
"And the bad news?" Celestia asks
The Doctor sighs as he says,
"The only way to get a coupling is to board one of those ships. And well there's still Daleks patrolling the area looking for ponies to kill."
The Doctor says that last part with a scowl. You and the others give a sigh as you say,
"Of course we have to, it's not an adventure with the Doctor unless you have to board a evil aliens ship."
The Doctor makes a annoyed sound before he makes a follow me gesture. You and the others nod your heads as you all begin to follow him.As you all leave the castle as stealthy as you all can, you all start to make your way towards the spaceship in the center of the city. The Doctor reasoning that the center one should have the right coupling the TARDIS needs. As you pass by a city street, you see a fat earth pony wearing one of the Horde leader cloaks (you assume the ones wearing sliver cloaks and have a black version of your logo are the ones in charge) pulling a huge cart full of junk food (mainly burgers of all patties, toppings, and buns) when suddenly a strange object slams into his face and he and the cart disappear in a flash.
You rub your eyes in shock as you mutter,
"The buck just happened?"
"Bugze! Stop gawking and come on! The longer you stand the better a chance a Dalek is gonna find you!"
You snap out of it as you say,
"Ah right! Coming Doc!"
As you catch up with the others you can't help but think,
What the buck happened to that Horde leader?
APPLEWOOD, LAS PEGASUS
Kersey (the fat pony from before) and his cart finds himself in front of a Neighponese-looking movie palace (curiously, it was the only building left untouched during the Nightmare's rampage) in the ruins of Las Pegasus (half of Smaug's skeleton is right behind him). After adjusting his glasses, Kersey's eyes light up in recognition of the building as he says,
"Could it be..." as he unhitches the cart and opens the door. What greets him is piles and piles of movie reels (the Nightmare collected every movie and serial he could find and stored them all here so he can binge-watch them with "Nightshade" after he's done slaughtering the world). His eyes lighting up at this, Kersey starts looking through the reels and exclaims,
Kersey starts happily going through all the reels,
"Movies! Serials! All the reels I'll need, all the reels I'll ever want! Speilburro, Adeera, Hitchcock..."
With that he sits down and hugs a bunch of reels to himself in bliss.
"All the movies I want! All the reels..."
MEANWHILE, WITH THE NIGHTMARE
"EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMIN-*crush*"
"SHUT UP!!! THAT'S GETTING REPETITIVE!" the Nightmare screams in annoyance before rapidly whipping out his 7 tails(2 have been chopped off and one is being used as a tourniquet/headband for the bleeding holes where 2 of his eyes were thanks to Pinkie's orichalcum knives) and grabs Daleks before viciously slamming them against all hard surfaces with enough force to shatter them as he yells, "SHUTUP-INATE, SHUTUP-INATE, SHUTUP-INATE, SHUT-THE-BUCK-UP-INATE!!!"
After destroying all nearby Daleks, another wave comes in from above,
"Time to kill all the birds with one boulder." the Nightmare says as he uses some Nightmare Tails to lift himself into the air and charge a big ball of energy as the Daleks continue lasering him (at this point, the Nightmare had gotten use to the Dalek's lasers).
"NIGHTMARE GRAVITY IMPLOSION!"
The Nightmare declares as he throws the ball of doom at one of the fling saucers. Upon impact, the ball begins sucking in nearby flying saucers and many Daleks before it explodes in a great big orange hell-bubble in the sky.
"Daddy, are those things cyborgs, robots, or aliens in weird battle suits?" 'Nightshade' asks,
"Hmmm... Let's find out!" the Nightmare says as it whips out one tail to grab one of the Daleks before asking it,
"Excuse us, but can you tell us if you're a robot or battle armor?"
"WE ARE SUPERIOR LIFE FORMS T-"
"Fine... we'll just figure that out ourselves." the Nightmare says before tearing the Dalek open revealing a little squid-like creature inside,
"Ooooo... A prize!"
"NOOOOO-*chomp*" the Dalek screams before the Nightmare tears him out of the shell and eats him,
"Hmmm chicken-y with hints of psycho and purple... Want some Nightshade?" the Nightmare comments as he takes out the Luna plushie only for Dalek lasers to graze "Nightshade".
In a cold rage, the Nightmare grabs the offending Dalek, smashes it around himself, and then slingshots his tails to launch the Dalek far away...
APPLEWOOD
We now see that Kersey has organized the film reels into categorized stacks and is gleefully talking to himself as he walks through the piles,
"Science-Fiction... Drama... Comedies... Dramedies... This month... next month... next year..."
He then stops to do a giddy happy-dance before saying,
"And I have all the time in the world to watch them!"
He stops as he admires a makeshift diorama in the corner of the theater where the Nightmare had crucified the bodies of Adam Saddler and M. Night Shymalamadingdong while between the bodies is a picture of the Nightmare taking a selfie while Michael Beigh is tied and gagged on top of a huge pile of explosives as a Luna Plushie lies on the detonator,
"Sure, this is God's collection and he's destroying Canterlot, but that's just Equestria. There's still Yakyakistan, Saddle Arabia, Neighpon, and many other nations. Who knows how long it'll take for him to cleanse them all! Even if he does come back early, surely he will be pleased enough at me organizing all this that he'll at least let me live to finish my burgers." the obese Earth pony rationalizes to himself as he unwraps a medium-rare cheeseburger (yeah, it's actual beef, but it's the end of the world so he doesn't give a buck) with mayo, lettuce, tomato, pickles, grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, and white cheddar cheese and takes a messy bite out of it, the juices dripping onto the floor.
"And the best thing... the very best thing of all is that everypony else is dead now. No stupid worthless ponies standing in front of me in line, talking, laughing, or even breathing. No bosses, no co-workers, no professors, no family, no nagging parents, and especially no more of that stupid brown mutt!" he begins to rant like a stallion-foal, "Hijacking and changing all MY plans without even telling me (even though I told him REPEATEDLY why those plans must stay) AND getting the boss to push ME to the side and ignore me! I was a Horde member LONG before that brown bitch!"
Kersey stops his rant and calms down when he reaches the "Action" stack. He quickly wolves down the burger and chugs down a bottle of vanilla cola after it with a belch. He then leans to pick up Marevengers: Infinity War, but he slips on some of the beef juice causing his glasses to fall off and-
*shatter*
"No... It's not fair! I finally had the time, the food, and the solitude. It's just not fair..."
With that, the obese Earth Pony starts to weep over his broken glasses
*CRASH CRUSH SPLATTER*
But Kersey's misery is ended when a Dalek crashes through the roof of the theater and crushes him, splattering the Earth Pony's fat everywhere. His final words being...
"At least I survived longer then that...Brown...mutt..."
And with that, Kersey the fat earth pony was no more...
MEANWHILE, WITH SAID BROWN MUTT
The Brown Dog, a Diamond Dog with some sick shades, stands with his fellow Horde Cult members in deep thought
"It was a cool battle, but it was a shame the pink one died, she was kind of awesome..."
When he suddenly shivers all over.
"Funny, I feel as though I was insulted and just as quickly was avenged..."
"Brown Dog! Wake Up!" shouts the voice of Snap Drake, shaking him out of his thinking
"Huh? What, what is it?" he asks as he looks up and sees the ships for the first time. Apparently his deep thinking caused him to blank out for a bit. He and the others then witness alien ships descending from the sky.
“The Buck is this?” he asks aloud.
Then the word Exterminate is said aloud.
“The Buck is that?”
Then Daleks come streaming out.
“The Buck are those?”
The Daleks then come across members of the horde and start killing them easily.
“…OK, so that’s happening…” he mumbles.
Snap Drake turns to him, “Brown Dog, what should we do?”
“I don’t bucking know. Why you asking me?”
“Because Kersey is out buying junk food and movies with the money the master gave him, and you’re the only thing holding us together,” he says.
He looks at the others then at Snap Drake incredulously,
“Buddy, I joined this group because otherwise I’d be extremely bored, I’ve just been messing around most the time because it makes that slob angry. I ain’t holding anybody together.”
“Still, what should we do?” he asks.
“OK, here’s the plan…try not to die and go do your own thing. See ya!” he says before running off down the street.
"Wait that's it?! But there are so many counting on you! It's your duty!"
"Space Trashcans are killing everything, my priorities lie elsewhere!" he calls back.
“But what are you going to do?” Snap Drake yells.
The Brown Dog sees a familiar looking blonde-maned unicorn stallion rolling down the street in a wheelchair being pushed by a butler (the butler has an expression on his face that screams "Kill me...") as the unicorn pets a yappy dog.
“I’m so sorry Precious, Daddy will get you out of here,” he says with a snooty voice, "Faster you peasant!"
“I’m going to go eat something expensive and full of gas,” he calls back.
With that he runs after the now fleeing Blueblood.
BACK WITH YOU AND THE OTHERS
You and the others have been moving from ally to ally and so far you've all run into only a few Daleks (which were quickly dispatched of thanks to the princesses). You've also come across a few Horde Cultist, but they were usually... uh... taken care of by a Dalek or stray rubble-
"AAAAAHHHHH!!!"
"Hey come back here, I only want to chew on your liver a bit!"
Also, you witnessed a Diamond Dog running after a screaming Prince Blue(No)balls.
Putting that disturbing (but still satisfying) scene out of your mind, you round a corner by Doughnut Joe's destroyed shop...
A bunch of daleks corner Celestia and shoot confetti at the Princess
The daleks all say "THIS DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENSE"
Then Familiar laughter is heard and Discord can be heard "Make sense? Oh what fun is there in making sense?"
Run right into a group of Daleks.
"Eeep!" you scream.
"Exterminate!" they cry as Celestia jumps protectively in front of you.
But the lasers don't come, instead a bunch of confetti is spread.
"WHAT?!"
"ILLOGICAL!"
"THIS MAKES NO SENSE!"
While they are distracted the Princesses are able to take them out. As they do such, You, and the others hear in your heads what sounds like Discord's distant voice,
"Oh, what fun is there in making sense?"
You tense up because you know you saw him killed...
"Did anyling else hear that?" you ask.
Everyling nods.
"Didn't he die?" you ask.
It's then that you notice multicolored blood on the ground...Discord's blood. You quickly get out of the blood while freaking out at the fact you were standing in Discords blood. However you do calm down enough to hear Celestia say,
"What little lingering magic in his blood must of have protected us."
"Well thanks from beyond the grave Discord! And uh sory for stepping in you..." you call out as you all continue to make your way towards the town center.
As you and the group continue to run towards the center of town towards the mothership you can't help but think,
I wonder if there's any Horde Cultist still left?
Cultist Leader Solarkness POV In His Dream
I am running across rainbows, everywhere are pink furless monkeys riding... stuff. I run further, behind me everything withers away.
The monkeys become rotten, and stink. The flowers lose their water and become dry and dead, the rainbow becomes gray...
There is a light. The horizon has a light! I laughed.
I couldn't wait to see how this nightmare would end. Would it end with the Nightmare killing me?
Would it end by him leaving me, or would he rescue me?
The latter would be unlikely, but I couldn't wait.
I focussed my dream on getting me there faster, I had to know! Could I finally die?
I was almost there... I could see his four eyes already!
Dream, tell me, dream: Can I die?
BACK IN THE REAL WORLD
*YOWL*
I fly out of the house, something exploding behind me. I look around, everywhere are trashcans. I shake my head, the other horde-members could have done this.
Oh well, more ways to die. I walk down the street, growling to get their attention. A few hordemembers, four or so, notice me, and ask what they should do. It is the selfproclaimed 'Ragin' Demons'-squad. A bunch of worthless pegasi, I gesture for them to fight the trashcans.
"Well, Solarkness, I know you don't like to talk about it, or cannot since you are mute, but you really stink. Have you ever bathed?"
I snicker internally. Those idiots, they still haven't figured I am a Timberwolf. They all think I have damaged voice-chords. Their problem, not mine. I growl at them while activating the enchanted function of my cape. It was designed to be able to imitate our Master's 'rage eye'.
The capes of the other leaders have that function too. The squad gets the hint and runs away, ironically in the direction with the fewest trashcans. Oh well, no time for that. I need to search my Alpha.
After the Nightmare destroyed Appleloosa, he ravaged in my forest. Everywhere was splintered wood, they couldn't form themselves back, it was horrifying. I hid inside a hollow tree, trying to escape his wrath. Later I found out he killed the rest of my pack, therefore he is the new Alpha.
That is why I joined the Crimson Horde. He probably was just going through, and he had that potential...
I can see Alpha smashing trashcans back there! I have to help him.
As I begin to run towards Alpha, I hear a voice:
"EXTERMINATE!", and also lost all feeling for my tail. I turned around, and saw one of the trashcans pointing one of those pony-things at me. It reminded me of the one that could stick to the wall... the pink thing.
"EXTERMINATE!", this time I am ready to dodge the laser. I jump onto the Dalek, and start tearing it apart. I stopped, and saw that I did almost no damage. This is going to take a while...
While tearing, waiting for my claws to reform, and redoing this procedure, I wonder if I would have joined the Horde Cult anyways.
I was always fascinated by the potential of the ponies to kill. They could be sooo much better at it than even the most brutal pack-leader. I always wanted to join a group of them designated to kill, and learn a thing or two from them. If I had heard of the Horde Cult. I probably would have left the pack for the Horde Pack anyways.
Finally I am through the outermost layer, I can now see what is inside...
*sniff*
Is that bacon? PLEASE BE BACON! I NEED BACON! I would join the most two-goodie-horseshoesgroup for bacon! The thought of it alone makes my mouth water...
I run off towards the source of the delicious sme... no, aroma!
Nearby with the Ragin' Demons Fraction
"Are you sure this is going to get him to help us?", Fast Flier asks.
They are waiting inside a house, surrounded by TWO of those terrifying Daleks!
"Of course it is!", Tactical Genius replies..
Of course, those are not their real names, but the names they have given themselves in their squad.
They heard something crash into something else outside, some shouts of "EXTERMINATE!" and "GET OUT OF MY FACE WORTHLESS CREATURE!"
Suddenly something rushes through the door, and sits down before them. Genius never figured out how Solarkness, a friggin' pony for Luna's beautiful flank, could digest meat and not get sick, but once again it saved their lives.
Solar has saved them for the sixty-third time now.
He whimpers, for once not accompanied by him waggling his tail, looking at the plate with bacon hungrily...
"Sure you can have it. Ugh, this smell..."
As Solarkness begins to...devour his meal, Tactical can't help but ask,
"Hey, how do you think Grey Rebl's group is doing?"
Fast shrugs his shoulders as he says,
"Don't know, maybe they actually found shelter from these's bucking salt shakers."
POV Change: Horde Leader Grey Rebl
A grey-brown unicorn, severe looking and has an expression of pure panic and frustration, paces in front of a group of ponies. He isn't at all nice to look at, but he is nonetheless one of the leaders of the Occult. All of them are inside the safety and confines of a secure building. The pony speaks, braces visibly showing as he struggles to do so.
"So, folks, we are hiding under this building because we have an entire legion of violent pepper shakers on to our flanks, ready to kill in an instant." Grey Rebl, leader of this part of the Occult, stops pacing around in front of the minor followers. "...And why the buck did we separate from the rest of the group again?"
One of the ponies on cloaks raises a hoof. "...Er, because we didn't listen?"
"That's right! And what did I say?"
"'Don't run in only armed with spoons and forks'," another says.
"...and then, somehow, I suddenly had to, of all bucking times, care enough to save you lot and stress over your bucking lives!" the leader shouts exasperatedly.
"Oh, yeah! Thanks by the way!"
"Buck you! You guys ruined everything! This was supposed to be perfect! We rock the place and then we die as proud and contributing members of the hoard! That's how it should be! Perfection!"
"C-calm down! It's not like we'd have to do much work. God would do it for us!"
The grey-brown pony glares at the speaker as he shouts,
"Calm down? Calm down?! You don't tell some pony with OCD to calm the buck down! And don't you bucking ever use that bullspit of an excuse ever again, because God would be dissed for being the Mule of bucking burden in the very End of Bucking Times!
"And most of all: we don't do God's work by sitting on our flanks, lazying all about as your superiors do all the heavy load!" He then went on the pony's face. "Because I certainly don't want to be dead weight again, asking the other leaders for help to take charge of you lot!"
"Oh, come on!" A mare from the group pipes in. "We were doing stuff like you said! We actually helped destroy that one building! Right guys?"
Everypony present, sans the leader, nods in agreement. Grey just growls in anger. He promptly stares down one stallion in particular.
"Then, Ernie, where were you that time when we needed to move the dynamite?"
"Oh, uh, I needed to use the restroom, so I had Gabon here fill me in."
"And where the buck was Gabon when I was hauling the cursed thing alone?"
Everypony looks at Gabon.
"Ch-charm!" Gabons says to a mare. "I thought you would help with the favor you owed!"
"W-well, I thought Daybreak would help for the favor that SHE owed me!"
So, the blame game practically circles around, and nobody knew who was supposed to end up helping their leader.
Grey rubs a hoof to the base of his horn, hoping to relieve a forming headache. "So for the past few HOURS, everypony did jack squat?"
The mare from previously stutters, "That was only one building—!"
"May I need to remind you all that we're trying to blow up SEVERAL buildings at once? And detonate them at the very end?"
"..."
"..."
"Er, Gray—I can call you Gray Rebel, right?" some pony finally says, "Do you want an apple to help calm you down?"
His fury stills. No, it didn't go away. Instead, the fury became tranquil. And stronger. "Let me tell you something nice..." Grey says. "One: You better have spelled my name right, because my name as of right isn't a bucking typo! And Grey for my name is spelt with a bucking "E"! Not "A"! It gets me pissed! Even more so when even the word of motherbucking God gets it wrong!
"Two: I have braces. You can practically SEE them right now! I can't eat a whole apple, let alone bite!
"Three: I hate apples! They make my throat itch, even with salt!
"Four: Don't you bucking dare talk to me like an idiot or a child!
"And Five: Show some bucking respect! I saved your sorry flanks out there just now! And even before, I had to work my flank off to keep ALL of us afloat thus far, so our bucking God and the other leaders won't have to skin us alive for being 'unfaithful'!"
The pony is just taken aback by his outburst. "I, uh, I didn't know?" he tries.
Grey just stares at the stallion. "Here's the thing: I publicly announce some of those very things—Written and voiced in a rant—, so how the bucking Almighty gods of heaven and Tartarus didn't any of you know this?!"
Silence.
"Didn't you read the Q&A next to the code of conduct?!"
"...Wait, so it wasnt just ramble?"
Grey groans. He mutters, "Why the buck do I have to be leader and be responsible? Why can't I be a henchman where I would at least be useful and supportive to a leader who would actually dedicate much more towards our cause?"
"You say something, sir?"
"Nothing!" Grey yells back. Then, he depressingly utters to himself, "My leadership skills just suck too bucking much..."
With a deep sigh, he looks toward the ceiling. They feel a tremble, obviously the work of the Nightmare. Dust falls from their hiding place, dirtying the already dirty imterior. An ominous moment of silence later, Grey has enough. He stands up.
"Well, buck it. We are all going to die soon. So consider this your last order from me: Run wild."
All the present members grins eagerly at that announcement! Finally! Grey Rebl lets them do something other than follow a strict plan!
"Just so you know..." Grey lifts a Nephi Driver menacingly. "I'd rather die angry...
"So don't get in my way."
SOMETIME LATER
"...I've met a Dalek once. That one could swim," Grey Rebl says. "I never knew what the numbers on him was for... But, nonetheless, you tin cans are not like him. No, not at all!" He stares defiantly upwards at all the floating beings before him. "So, for defiling the image of one of my past friends—by the God of Vengeance, the Nightmare, I will bucking murder all of you all!"
"A Nine-Iron—" Grey Rebl shouts. "—and Nokia Phone Armor in honor to Registered Anonymous!" With that, he swings wildly all round, bashing the heads of Daleks ruthlessly, if albeit uneffectively
He slams a gold statue onto the face of Dalek, bending the long rod that is supposed to be its eye. "Gold for Golden Statue!"
"An arrow to the knee for, uh, some pony... I forgot his name. He might have numbers in them. Buck! I even don't know his face!" He just slams the arrow on hoof to the nearest Dalek.
"A." *Clank!* "Bad." *Clank!* "Flank." *Clank!* "Crow!" *Clank!* "Bar!" *Criiiing!* "...in toast for Gordon Freebrony!" With that, he pops open the "lid" of a Dalek and proceeds to pummel the insides with the but of the crowbar.
"And finally... For the last two!" He brought out two things: A razor and a pole with a flag. "An Occam's razor to logikz for Razor the Awesome!" He throws said razor, and, by the blessing of the gods, it somehow cuts through the Dalek shielding and makes an open slit to its armor. And then...
"And a motherbucking flag for Daedaltheus!"
He slams home the flagpole into the opening and spears through its insides, making the Dalek sputter incoherent things out in rage.
"With that said, as for me—"
Suddenly, a lazer unceremoniously hits him. He didn't disintegrate, his Nokia-Phone Armor and cloak took the incineration part of the hit, but the damage is done. His health—his body, after many months of being a part of the Occult, finally fails him.
"Leader, noooo!" Some of the cultists went to his fallen form, cradling him with their hooves.
"There—" he coughs "—there's something I-I wanted to tell you guys..."
"W-what is it, sir?"
Grey stares at them straight in the eyes. "I hated you guys. I hated you guys the most. Oh, and I actually don't believe in God. I think you are all just a bunch of fools believing in Mumbo jumbo. I just joined because I believed in the vengeance and all that crud."
"Oh," one of them says. "Well, Buck you, too. Just die already, jerk."
"Okay," Grey Rebl says, and, finally, his eyes rolls back and his body ceremoniously limps. "Blegh."

"...Is he really dead?" one of the asks.
"I don't know, let me poke him just to check."
"I hope he stays dead. That stallion's got issues."
"Who were all those names he kept screaming out?"
"I think they were his old Ogres and Obelisks gaming group before it disbanded."
"Oh, well they were probably jerks too,"
"Probably, hey wanna go find Kichi's group? Heard they have a video game cache."
"Sweet! Let's go before more of those tin-cans show up!"
With that the cultist leave their leaders body behind, leaving it to be crushed by some sort of rubble or burned in some random fire....
SOMETIME LATER, WITH ANOTHER HORDE CULTIST LEADER
Daleks begin to 'walk' around Canterlot. Meanwhile in a house, a single changeling with horde leadership robes was playing some games. Around him sat a couple of green cocoons that enclosed the previous owners of the house.
When suddenly, someling knocks on the door.
"Gah, just who is knocking now? It must be one of the ones that I sent for pizza… or maybe for games, or for cake... Sigh, I was hoping to have more time but of course the Offender goes crazy... It's not enough a crazy queen that seems to forgot every class about hiding in ponyland 101, now I have a homicidal boss that talks to a doll and wants to destroy the world..." groans the changeling
He presses pause and puts some blankets around the glowing green cocoons. The green glow could still be seen from under the blankets but he ignores it. He begins to think and remember. Thinking about how he seemed to be the only changeling more or less sane that survived the pink psycho.
And all because of what happened at the wedding, he thinks to himself. But even so, he managed to become one of the generals of the horde.
"Kichi!! Open the door! Hurry!" Shouted the voice from the other side of the door.
The changeling groaned, a green fire appeared around him, turning him into a white unicorn very similar to Shining Armor except with a dark mane. After that he looked into the spyhole of the door to saw another member of the horde, he was more or less a colt, but still a member. He unlike other generals, liked the young members, they had more imagination and the best thing was that nopony believed them. It was one of the multiple reasons he was one of the generals.
"What is the password?" Asked Kichi and waited, laughing a little
It was mainly an excuse to annoy the other members of his group, but it seemed the colt did not have time
"There is no password! Now open the bucking door or I will not help you beat that boss in Batmane Arkham Asylum." says the colt on the other side.
Kichi opened the door and the colt ran into the house.
"Hey, where’s is the fire?" ask Kichi.
"Maybe everywhere? Can't you see what’s happening?" asked the colt
Kichi looked around to see almost every house destroyed, except the house he was in. And a group of strange tin cans shooting lasers.
"EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!" Shouted the strange cans
"So... Are they related to our crazy boss?" asked Kichi.
"No, they are aliens that want to destroy everything." says the colt
"So... They are not friends of the boss?" asks Kichi with a smile.
The colt groans and closes the door.
"So... It's seems that I missed something... What about the others?" asked Kichi.
"Those Tin Cans shot lasers and killed some in the McApple, and the videogame shop was empty, I think most of them are just hiding and waiting for something to happen." commented the colt.
"Buck, another one of the generals must have the same idea" groaned Kichi.
"So... What's the plan? Let the boss take care of it?" asks the colt.
"Of course." says Kichi and looked from a window
MEANWHILE WITH THE NIGHTMARE
Of course, the Daleks don't know that their weapons are no good, and shoot at the nightmare even though it brings no results. A Kirov Gunship (from the games Red Alert 2 and 3) shows up and attempts to bomb the nightmare, which unfortunately isn't badly fazed.
Nightmare; laughs
He attacks it, but it survives his first efforts to destroy it due to the fact that it's tough.
Nightmare; What? How are you able to survive our attacks!? You're just a gas-filled balloon!
On his third attempt, he finally succeeds in bringing it down... and it crashes right into his face.
"EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!" Shouted the strange cans.
The Nightmare was taking care of them when suddenly a great and big ship appeared over him.
"Oh, look honey, a great big metal balloon!"
"Yay!" cries out 'Nightshade'
"Identify Yourself!" asks a voice inside the ship
"Our name is not important, but you can call us, your Nightmare..."
"Yay, Daddy is going to take care of you trash cans!" 'Nightshade' says in delight.
"And this is our daughter, Nightshade." says the Nightmare
"Scanning... You are communicating with an inanimate object! You are making the sound of her talking!" says the talking metal balloon.
"She is alive, and We will not let you insult her!" growled the Nightmare before he shouts,
"Dark No-Shadow Kick!"
Before launching himself at the balloon with a flurry of kicks and Nightmare Tail stirkes and while it dents, it doesn't destroy it.
"Hey What Gives! Why You No Go Boom? There was supposed to be a earth shattering kaboom! You're nothing but a gas filled balloon," the Nightmare shouts.
The balloon drops an electric bomb on the Nightmare that knocks him into the rubble of a building and it hurts a lot worse than the normal Dalek weapons.
"Daleks do not travel in balloons!"
The Nightmare groans as it's front left leg hangs limply and the burns across his chest are excruciating.
"You Pink Whorse... this is all your fault," he curses the deceased Pinkie. He then crawls out and calls back to the ship.
"Let's try that again!" he roars again as he charges up an energy blast with his horns and tails,
"Illogical! You are supposed to be Extermin-" the Dalek gets out before the ship explodes when hit by the magic blast.
"There we go! Much Bet- *CRASH*"
And the flaming wreckage of the ship lands right on top of him.
BACK WITH KICHI
Kichi was watching what his boss was doing until the flaming zeppelin fell on him.
"Think he survived that?" the colt asks.
Almost as if he was answering that question, the Nightmare just walks out of the flaming wreckage, popping his front left limb back into place with one of his Nightmare tails.
"And that is why it is best to leave others to take care of the problem" comments Kichi.
Kichi looked to the colt that was busy playing videogames
"Did you hear what I just said?" he asks.
"Uhh... No..." The colt responds.
Kichi groans and takes out another controller.
"Well... Let's wait for the others or the boss. The others are currently taking care of Canterlot after all. They knew what to do if something like this happened. Besides I bet the boss will take care of everything sooner or later."
POV Change: The Nightmare
Nightmare spots the Boom Shackalacka Nightmare Knocker Version 2.0.
"George!" the Nightmare cries out in happiness as he picks up the cannon, "NOW we can have some fun..."
As the Nightmare tears apart yet 3 more Daleks, it then grabs another one and is about to bust it open when it spots out of the corner of one of it's good eyes the Boom Shackalacka Nightmare Knocker Version 2.0.
The Nightmare's eyes widen in joy as it calls out,
"George!"
It then nonchalantly squishes the Dalek into a pancake like shape as it runs over to the gigantic cannon and picks it up.
"Now to see if you can still sing, but who shall we test you on..."
He looks around and then up before seeing a group of Daleks coming in flying close together out of a flying saucer.
"Well that's convenient" the Nightmare says as he charges up the cannon and lets loose a rainbow energy blast that disintegrates the Daleks and the flying saucer.
"STRIKE!!!" the Nightmare exclaims before he smiles devilishly and says,
"NOW we can have some fun..."
*Sniff*Sniff*
"In fact..."
The Nightmare smiles evilly as it sniffs the air before saying in a sing song voice,
"We smell royalty~
It turns around to just see a part of Celestia's mane. It smiles even more as he says,
"OH HONEY! WE'RE HOOOOOMMMMMEEE!"
With that he chases after her...
POV Change: Bugze (You)
You and the others turn a corner just as the Nightmare turned around. Somehow, someway, the Nightmare worked it's way close to the center of town. And he's just in the path you all were traveling. The Doctor wipes his brow as he says,
"I don't think he-"
A rainbow blast blows through the walls of the castle as the Nightmare strolls in saying, " before blasting Celestia through a wall with it.
*BOOOOOOOMMMMMM*
The Doctor's sentence is interrupted as a rainbow blast destroys the building behind him. The Doctor gulps in fear as he turns around to see...
The Nightmare aiming the barrel of the cannon down at Celestia. The Nightmare smiles insanely before he says,
With that he fires the beam at Celestia, hitting the target head on! Celestia is sent through the building behind her, causing Luna and Cadence to shout out in shock,
"SISTER/AUNTY!"
The Nightmare grins evilly as he turns to them and says,
"Now that she's out of the way, lets deal with you tw-"
He stops mid-sentence as his eyes widen as he sees something....you.
You stare back and a feeling of familiarity washes over you.
You both stare at each other for a good long while,, but before anything could happen a golden beam of magic blasts him flying away. Not to soon after that Celestia is back a little battered but not bruised. Celestia sighs before she says,
"Doctor, were not too far from the ship. I want you, your companions, and Cadence to get going. Me and Luna will hold him back!"
The Doctor nods his head at this and he and Derpy start to make a run for it. However Cadence gets tears in her eyes as she shouts out,
"No! You can't stay and fight him now! After the Daleks and the coupling you're not ready! You'll die for sure!"
Celestia and Luna nod sadly before Celestia says,
"I know my niece, but helping the Doctor make sure that none of this ever happens is more important. And while we can hold the Nightmare back, you can't. When we're gone somepony needs to lead the few that live into the new era of peace. Please, go."
Cadence, tears in her eyes, shakes her head as she says,
"No! I'm not leaving you!"
Luna sighs before she says,
"Tennant, please take our niece and go. The Nightmare is coming."
You nod your head solemnly as you grab Cadence and say,
"Come on Cadence, we need to go."
Cadence struggles against your hold for a few seconds, before she gives in and follows you away. Celestia and Luna sigh before Luna says,
"It was a honor ruling by your side Sister."
Celestia nods her head sadly before she says,
"As it was with you sister."
With that said thy prepare for their final battle.
MEANWHILE, WHILE THIS CONVERSATION WAS GOING ON
The Nightmare crashes through a kitchen and drops the cannon next to him. The combined Dalek lasers shooting him while he was sent flying, and Celestia's attack hurt him. He feels a bit out of breath, but when he looks up, he sees a Diamond Dog in cultist robes, with a hog tied Prince Blueblood on the table in a sauce pan surrounded by, carrots, potatoes and cabbages with an apple stuffed in his mouth. The Dog is chewing on the Prince’s severed horn like a bone.
“Oh, hey Master Offender, did you know you’re missing two eyes and a horn?” he says.
“The buck is going on here?” asks the Nightmare.
“Oh well this jack off here was responsible for a cousin of mine dying in his illegal mines, so now I’m going to cook him up and eat him,” the Brown Dog says nonchalantly.
Blueblood’s squeals are muffled by the apple while Precious sits in a chair nearby wagging it’s tail happily.
“You’re going to eat him?” asks the Nightmare.
“Well I figured, ‘Hey, space trash cans are killing everything else in sight, so why not?’ And seriously, when else am I going to get this kind of chance?”
“We see your point, this pompous moron has always been hated by us.”
“I know right?, anyway, want to wait with me till he’s cooked and have a bite?”
A laser blast hits the wall behind the Nightmare.
“No thanks, we’re in kind of a hurry, We’ll just take a free sushi sample,” it says before proceeding to unhinge it’s jaw and shove Blueblood inside.
He screams in agony inside the Nightmare’s mouth.
“Wow, *Crunch Crunch* we can literally taste the jackass flavor, *swallow*, anyway, so long!” he says jumping out the hole in the wall while grabbing the cannon.
The Brown Dog looks upset.
“Haven’t you ever heard of ‘sharing is caring?!’” he yells as his stomach growls. “Great, now what am I supposed to eat?”
A cracked open Dalek then is thrown into the room, showing the soft fleshy creature inside.
“You, canine, will be exterminated!” it yells not being able to move.
The Brown Dog shrugs, “Eh, better than nothing,” before popping the Dalek into the oven where Blueblood was supposed to go.
“No, nooooo!!!!” shouts the exposed Dalek.
BACK WITH BUGZE (YOU)
While you leave behind Celestia and Luna to their final stand, You , the Doctor, Derpy and Cadance cut through a nearby library to avoid Daleks.
As you run through the maze of books, you hear
“EXTERMINATE!” from a Dalek up ahead. Following that is a rather loud,
“SHHH!!!”
“What the hay?” you say as you look around the corner.
There, at a table reading books with headphones on is a unicorn mare with messy reddish hair, a sweater on and glasses.
Her whole attention is on a book in front of her, even as the Dalek rolls closer.
“You Will Be Exterminated!” yells the Dalek.
“Shh!” the mare shushes again without even looking up.
Suddenly the Dalek shoots the book out of her hooves, she turns around angrily, but her expression turns to shock and fear when she sees the Dalek.
“We will have your attention as you are EXTERMINATED!” shouts the Dalek, aiming his laser at her.
The mare screams at the top of her lungs, throwing her legs out in front of her.
You tackle her out of the way just as the laser shoots.
She looks at your face as you yell “Stay Down!”
“Extermi- “ it cries before you whip out your Boom Stick and ram it right into the eyestalk blasting the Dalek’s head off.
“Exterminate that!” you yell.
You then turn around and help the mare up as she looks at you in awe.
“What are you doing here? Don’t you know it’s the end of the world?” you ask her.
“I-I was just…” she says enraptured before rushing forth and giving you a bone crunching hug.
“Thank you, thank you so much!” she cries.
“Y-you’re welcome,” you gasp as you squeeze out of her grip.
“Listen, you need to get down to the crystal caverns, it’s not safe up here.”
“R-right…what’s your name,” she asks.
“I’m Bugze,”
“I’m Moon Dancer,” she says with a blush.
An explosion rocks the library as more cries of Exterminate are heard.
“Alright, that’s nice, now get going!” you command.
“R-right!” she cries as she runs off, glancing back at you.
“Yeesh, crazy mare, reading while the world ends, Twilight would probably do that if she were still around…actually, that mare looked almost exactly like…”
An explosion sounds.
“Come on!” cries Derpy.
“Oh yeah, right, end of the world!”
As you run towards the mothership with the others, you can't help but think,
I hope the princess (and that crazy mare) make it out of that fight okay. I do not need anymore of my...frenemies dying on me.
Meanwhile in the Vault.
Sapphire Shores is rocking it on and ponies are cheering, headbanging and just about everything else that has to do with raves when suddenly the power goes out.. As the emergency lights activate a loud thumping is heard from the heavy door. It quickly becomes the only sound to be heard in the complex as ponies listen in fear and hope the door will hold. Suddenly the loud thumping is drowned out as the speakers crackle with one word repeated over and over with deafening volume. Panic sprads and soon the loud noise of a door designed to survive falling into the sun being ripped apart fills the complex rogether with screams of ''EXTERMINATE!".
Meanwhile in the Vault
Moon Dancer is able to get into the crystal caverns and is thankful for the company. Sapphire Shores is still rocking it on and ponies are cheering, headbanging, other kinds of banging and just about everything else that has to do with raves when suddenly the power goes out. As the emergency lights activate a loud thumping is heard from the heavy security door. It quickly becomes the only sound to be heard in the complex as ponies listen in fear and hope that the door will hold. Suddenly the loud thumping is drowned out as the speakers crackle with one word repeated over and over, the deafening volume making it hard to hear the word clearly,
Panic spreads and soon the loud noise of a door (designed to survive falling into the sun) explodes upon and trash-cans come rolling in blasting everypony in sight.
Sapphire Shores and Moondancer both close their eyes as death comes, both thinking about the mysterious stranger that saved them... and how cruel fate was that they didn't have more time with him as the word these creatures yell become deadly clear,
Exterminate.
WITH THE PRINCESSES
Celestia and Luna stare down the Nightmare as lands in front of them. He looks up, spits out leg bone and smiles.
"Well here we are again. You've got noling else to die for you except yourselves,"
"If it stops you than so be it," glares Celestia
"Mayhaps you will die this night Nightmare, you are weakened!" snarls Luna.
"Yeah, you can thank your Pink Psycho for that. We forgot how much injuries suck. But since she's not here anymore..." he pops his shoulder back into place, "you two will have to pay for it..."
He then aims the gigantic weapon at them. The Nightmare grins madly as he says,
"Now royal pains in our flank, it is FINALLY time to end this. And maybe if you live long enough you can tell us about who the guy in the funny clothes was! NOW SAY HELLO TO OUR NOT-SO-LITTLE-FRIEND!!!"
Outro:
What do you do?
Just make a crack joke about his 'little' friend. (you know what i mean)
most useful power is his healing ability, duh.
Oh, and song request again.
Archetype - helix
When the four of you (you, Doctor, Derpy, and Cadance) run down the street, you all run into the TARDIS.
When you ask how did it get here, the Doctor theorizes the magical disturbances from the Nightmare's rampage must be messing with the TARDIS somehow, but then he gets a "Eureka" moment and the Doctor says he may be able to patch up the TARDIS enough to fly her into the Dalek mothership (which is in orbit), but he NEEDS time to do his work.
Cue you and Cadance fighting off squads of Daleks.
==================
Something for Nightmare to do during the fight:
"Boom crack!
The sound of our fist
As it tears right through your stupid rib cage,
Boom squish!
It make us feel good
As we squish, your bucking organs now"
===========
The Nightmare grabs Daleks in his Nightmare tails and starts beating the Princesses with them while yelling,
"FOR ELI MINUTE... WHOEVER THE BUCK THAT IS!"
===========
"Nothing can stop our hatred. You cannot kill what breeds within us. Nothing can stop us... A fearless, remorseless, one-god hurricane. Overwhelming and fierce. You have send many to fight me. But all their efforts were bucking pathetic. All those poor fools, sacrificing their lives in the name of duty. To protect the "innocent"... and the weak. I called them: Pony Shields. Welcome to your Nightmare Motherbuckers"
=============
*Luna is knocked away and Celestia is weakly under a pillar*
"Why..." Celestia weakly says,
"What was that?" the Nightmare responds
"Why... Why do you have to bring so much death and destruction on my little ponies... They haven't done anything to you..."
"Well... Because it's fun! That and our baby never liked this place anyway, right Nightshade?"
The Nightmare starts to retrieve the Luna Plushie, but suddenly the Nightmare's head begins to twitch and spasm violently for a few moments. When it stops, he speaks in a different distorted voice, but one that feels more chillingly sane,
"Empathy..."
"What?" Celestia says in anger and shock,
"Empathy! We had friends! A home! A family... But you just couldn't leave it alone! You had a first-hoof look at what we could do back at the Gala, but still you just sat on your throne eating your cakes as you ordered your 'children' to continue playing with fire."
He stomps a furious hoof down as he continues,
"It's because of you and your sister we lost EVERYTHING! You know how that feels? So we decided to dedicate ourselves to returning that feeling a THOUSAND-FOLD!!! So-"
Suddenly the Nightmare's head spasms ahead and his voice goes back to "normal",
"Woah... THAT was weird... But I was on a pretty good roll so I might as well finish whatever that other guy was saying."
With that he clears his throat before continuing,
"So how does it feel, mother-goddess of Equestria? How does it feel knowing that all your 'children' died in terror because of YOUR mistakes? Especially that one unicorn... What was her name again? You know... Purple, bookwormish, had her own horn stabbed through her throat-"
With a roar of rage, Celestia engulfs herself in flames and rams the Nightmare through several walls.
WILL EXPAND LATER
Needs a Godzilla roar at some point.
I vote to kill Luna by sending her to the moon, the LONG way (Read, without magic)... and miss.
The fight was very hard, the throne room was already destroyed and they changed room a couple of times until they decided to break the roof and continue the battle in the sky.
As the sisters managed to defend themselves of the attacks, thanks to combine their magic and their experience in battles for thousands of years it seems that Nightmare Bugzee was little taking advantage on them.
"Sister... We can't continue this, soon or later this monster is going to destroy us, we don't have the elements and we can't stall him eternally" Say Luna
"Luna, no! There must be another way, please. I lose you for a thousand years, please, we can think another think, we can still try to use the elements, I'm sure that we can still find bearers for the elements" Say Celestia
"Nay, Sister... Just remember that I loved you... If I'm reincarnated, I just wish that we end again as sisters... Thank you" Say Luna sad as her horn begin to glow
Meanwhile Nightmare Bugzee was looking like if it was nothing when suddenly, the glow of Luna horn begin to increase and his body and Luna begin to glow
"Stupid Luna, what do you plan?" Ask Nightmare Bugzee
The glow increase until suddenly Bugzee cannot see, when his vision clean, he can see that they are not in Canterlot
"Luna, where are we? What did you?" Groan Nightmare Bugzee looking around
"Welcome Bugzee... To the Moon" Say Luna
Bugzee look around and then to the sky, looking to the planet
"Do you think you can seal me here forever? Like what happened with you?" Ask Nightmare Bugzee
"No... My plan is not that... I give you one last chance to surrender!" Say Luna as her horn begin to glow
"Or what? I kill you and then leave?" Ask Nightmare Bugzee
"Or... We die in the sun... Not even you can survive in there. And without me you cannot leave the moon. Please, not for me but for your daughter. And I'm talking about your real daughter, not that doll. Awaken and see the reality. Do you really think she could want for you to die? To all live in the planet?" Ask Luna
Nightmare Bugzee tails begin to pale as the darkness dissapear a little
"What could you know? If it was not for you... I was chased since that stupid wedding, bullied because I was not a perfect changeling... And then, when I was thinking I could live in peace, me and my daughter, your stupid ponies appear and she just die... You could leave us alone, but no... Everytime you all appear" Say a very angry Nightmare Bugzee
"And you think this is what she wanted? Her dad transformed in a monster? Killing other foals, make terror and kill families just because he could not accept her death? That she could be happy? Just look at yourself, you are not anymore her dad, you just become a monster, where is her dad? Think she could be happy if she could see that? Open your eyes!" Shout Luna in the Canterlot Royal Voice
"NEVER!!!" Shout Bugze
Bugzee begin to hit the moon with the tails, and his power as the tails become dark again.
"Then I don't have a choice... I'm sorry Offender..." Say Luna
After that, she look to the sky to the planet and to Equestria
"And I'm sorry to you too, sister" Mutter Luna in a very low voice
The sun was becoming more and more big as the planet seemed to go more far and far, when suddenly a quake begin to hit the moon
"No... It's impossible..." Mutter Luna surprised as she could not believe what happened
"YES... YES...YEEEES!!" Shout Bugzee
The quake begin to increase, until a crack appear in front of Luna and Nightmare Bugzee, a crack that begin to increase in size until it become a abyss and continue increasing
"No... Please... No..." Mutter Luna as her eyes begin to cry
But it did not matter, more and more cracks begin to appear around them, and a chunk of the moon separate itself from the moon and divide in some rocks, of different sizes. And in one of the rocks, Nightmare Bugzee smiles victorious as he begin to launch himself to Equestria at great speed.
Luna shock herself and suddenly begin to follow Nightmare Bugzee to Equestria in another of the rocks as she use uses her magic to restore the orbit of the moon.
MEANWHILE IN EQUESTRIA
Celestia was looking to the moon, full in sorrow. Not only one, but two times she lose her sister, and the worst is that this time it was not a thousand years, but forever. Full in sorrow she looked to the sky.
"Why? Why you did this Faust? It was not enough to take my sister from me for a thousand years? Now that she was back with me, you take her again! After everything that happened? Why! Just tell me!" Shout with sadness Celestia to the sky but there is no answer
"Of course... There is no answer..." Comment with a bit of anger Celestia
Just as she was going to get ready to tell the survivors about what happened and how the Nightmare was finished, she managed to see the moon being destroyed.
"No... How it's possible?" Ask Celestia surprised
Just then, as she could see what seems to be the remains of the moon in the sky, and how many of them begin to fall, she could see two of the chunk of the moon begin to fall at more speed that the others.
"Sister..." Mutter Celestia
-----
Any problem, I edit... It was mainly to add a little of drama for the battle, I could not think something for the battle, but Nightmare Bugzee destroying the moon, is something.
As for the question, I think the best power of Bugzee is the Insect Swarm.
As the Princesses battle him, it’s clear that they are too weakened, but they carry on. Together they are able to break one of his tusks off, to which he screams in pain.
As you and your crew runs through the streets, a new voice is broadcast from the ships. The Doctor stops cold when he hears it.
“Doctooorrr….” It wheezes. “Where are you hiding?”
Derpy’s shocked eyes straighten as she looks to him.
“Is that…”
“Davros…” the Doctor says clenching his jaw in anger.
Your eyes bug out at that statement, “Oh of course HE’D be here. Just bucking great!”
“Your precious world burns Doctor, why not come and stop me…” Davros taunts.
“Oh I’m coming alright Davros, just you wait…” the Doctor snarls.
Meanwhile
The Brown Dog sits with a full belly, drinking a bottle of Jack Spaniels, and watching the fight.
Precious is sitting next to him, chewing on pieces of the Dalek.
“Ah that hit the spot, tasted like bacon flavored chicken. You know Precious, I never really saw myself ending up here” he says as he takes a swig of the bottle.
“I was just really really bored being underground all the time digging. Did you know I’ve never even been to the Diamond Dog Kingdom Diamondia?” Precious just woofs and continues chewing.
“Yeah, I know, pathetic huh? Well then one day I heard about the Offender and how he crashed the Gala and thought, ‘Hey, that guy’s got the right idea, why shouldn’t I go out and beat up bad guys and cause all sorts of problems?’”
Precious finally tears a strip off and eats it.
“Well it sounded fun at the time. So I told my bosses to shove it and went and joined the Horde.
And then I got stuck with a bunch of weirdoes.”
He takes a swig.
“I mean, some of them were alright I guess, that Eris and Minds Eye were funny, even if we disagreed on stuff sometimes. That Grey Rebl guy is all kinds of nuts, but he was fun. Don’t know too much about Rutherford, kind of keeps to himself, but he’s alright. Then there’s Kichi and Solarkness, I mean, I can’t be the only one that knows they’re a changeling and a freaking Timberwolf right?”
Precious just looks up at him.
“Right?”
“Woof,” Precious says before resuming gnawing.
“Yeah, true, but there’s no fooling my nose. But seriously,a freaking Timberwolf?!”
He takes another swig.
“Now Snap Drake, there’s a guy that gets me and my humor, but I don’t know why he holds me on some sort of pedestal, he’s just as funny. I swear I heard him call me sempai once…” he shivers and drinks, “Anyway, then there’s Kersey. Seriously, that Kersey guy was so controlling and nasally, he kept thinking I was after his job for some reason, I don’t know why. He takes another swig. “OK, maybe I did do some things here and there that made him angry…on purpose. Sure I took his copy of Batmane Arkham Asylum without asking and never gave it back, sure I showed up drunk at his Nightmare Night party and stole his candy and threw up on his rug, and sure I put mustard in his sheets occasionally while he was sleeping, but I was just messing around having fun. I didn’t expect the others to follow through with what I said and did. Heck, those guys don’t even know my name. I’m just The Brown Dog to them because I’m a dog and I’m brown, how lazy is that? But oh well…also I sure as heck didn’t expect our group getting promoted to Generals.”
“Woof?” asks Precious.
“Oh yeah, apparently we’re all leaders now. Did not realize I’d joined a terrorist group till after Fillydelphia was bombed, but I had nowhere else to go so I just stuck with it. It was either that or go back to my crippling loneliness and admit to my strange obsession with Pony Mares while living out the rest of my existence in a dark cramped cave...” Precious just looks at him funny as he takes another swig. “Ahem…anyway, yeah somehow we got put in charge. It kind of goes against my moral code of being as unhelpful and unorganized as possible, but it is what it is.”
An explosion from the fight goes off.
“And now we’re all going to die thanks to our Master and Space Trash Can Squids, who taste surprisingly delicious.”
“I mean, we all thought maybe we stood a chance if we helped him out…but he kind of killed all the big nutjobs in Fillydelphia so I don’t think so. Also, he ate my freaking dinner!” he growls out drunkenly. “And even if he doesn’t kill everyone, those things will, so I guess there’s no point in helping anyone or fighting bad guys right?”
Precious doesn’t answer cause she’s a dog, so The Brown Dog gets up, swaying as he does so.
“Well I’ll tell you this Precious, If I’m gonna die, I’m going out the way I was born, screaming, on fire, and being a nuisance to everyone and everybody in a five block radius.
“Woof?” Precious barks.
“It’s a long story,” he says as he pours what’s left of the booze into a dog bowl and slides it to Precious.
“Well so long Precious, maybe I’ll see you in Valhalla after all this is over. Riding Eternal… Shiny and Chrome…”
The Brown Dog then makes his way up a hill towards the remains of the fireworks factory.
During the Fight
Eventually Celestia is shot point blank in the face by the canon, sending her skidding through the street. She watches, barely conscious as the Nightmare pounces on her.
Using all of his tails in her moment of weakness, he is able to kill her.
Before he kills Luna, he taunts her broken form.
“You know, all of this is your fault.”
Luna coughs at this.
“We remember a part of us being a part of you. Without your jealousy and anger, we never would have been born. So thank you, it’s been a real blast…Mother,”
Luna cries silently as the Nightmare finishes her.
“Right then, where’s the weirdo in the clothes?”
After the Fight
You, Cadance, Derpy and Doctor were almost to the center space ship, when the Nightmare jumps in front of you.
“You, in the clothes, tell us who you are and we’ll kill you!”
“Don’t you mean, OR you’ll kill me?”
“We know what we said…ahhh Cadance, you’re here too? And single right? Well so are we, what are the chances?”
“You son of a,” Cadance lets loose a beam of magic like a flash grenade, and when it clears, you and your group are seen running by the Nightmare.
“Sigh…Why do they always run?” the Nightmare asks as he gives chase.
You are cut off by the Nightmare and he is about to rush forth when everyone hears.
“Wooohoooo!!!”
You all look to your right and see a fast moving cart full of fireworks coming down the hill towards you all. All the fireworks are lit, and the Diamond Dog sitting in it is waving two sparklers above his head screaming drunkenly at the top of his lungs. Daleks are in pursuit, but can’t quite hit him.
The cart hits a makeshift ramp made from destroyed rooftops, and is launched into the air above you all.
“I HAVE DONE NOTHING PRODUCTIVE ALL DAY!!!” yells the Brown Dog happily.
Both you and the Nightmare you voice the same thought,
“The Buck?”
Right before all the fireworks ignite blowing up the cart and the dog and causing such a massive explosion that the buildings around you crumble. You and your group, The Nightmare, and even the Daleks that were chasing him are all buried in debris, inconveniencing everyone, as was the plan. Also the shockwave knocks out the power and Kichi isn’t able to play his games anymore, making him mad.
“Luckily, you and Cadance were able to shield yourselves and the Doctor and Derpy and you take the opportunity to run to the ship while the Nightmare is still inconvenienced.
When you are all under the main ship, you realize that only two out of four of you have wings.
“Alright, grab your partner and don’t let go,” the Doctor says as he holds Derpy.
“Um…” you say nervously to Cadance, “May I?”
She just rolls her eyes, “Get on,” she commands.
As you all begin to fly up a beam of dark magic knocks you off Cadance and you crash into a back into the streets.
“Bugze!” shout Derpy and the Doctor
“Wait, Bugze?” Cadance asks in surprise.
She looks down at where you crashed.
“It couldn’t be…” she mutters.
“Go after him, we’ll be in the ship,” cries the Doctor as he makes Derpy lift him in through the Dalek launch window.
With you
Bugze Get Up! Now! Selena starts yelling to your dizzy form.
“Oh…what hit me?’ you groggily ask.
“Get up!” The Nightmare is coming! She screams.
“Wrong!” cries a voice behind you.
You turn around an look into your other you’s face.
“The Nightmare Is Here…The Question Is, who in the Buck are you?”
You gulp
“I swear if I survive this I am going to hold Lady Luck’s face down in a pool of water until the bubbles stop…”
I think his most useful is all the shadow and nightmare powers Selena gives him. When in a pinch, he hulks out, and hilarity (most of the time) ensues.
"Do you seriously believe you could even HOPE to slow me down if I didn't want you to?", Nightmare asks the princesses, laughing maniacally.
Just as he is about to finish them off, a Dalek flies between them, carrying a horde-member on top of it...
One of his nightmaretails swats it away, revealing what is beneath the cape:
A TIMBERWOLF!
The Nightmare yawns: "I feel like having some hotdogs today. You up for it?"
Solar turned towards the Nightmare, and shouts: "YES! PLEASE KILL ME, PLEASE EAT ME!"
"...what?", Nightmare mutters surprised, "Eh, if you want it then there is no reason to."
He grabs Solar with one of his Nightmare-tails and uses Solar to protect himself from one of Celestia's solarrays. As Solar burns, he laughs mania... how he always laughs.
-----Solarkness, Gates of HELL aka TARTARUS (dramatic lightningstrike)-----
"What do you mean I am not allowed to enter?", I ask the Gatekeeper.
"What do you THINK it means? We don't want you here, your punishment is not in here. And no reward for you either."
"Whyyyy?", he whines as he watches the lights coming from it. The other horde-members surely were in there partying...
---Insert a party-scene in Tartarus, other guys!---
"You are not allowed in here."
Solar sighs: "FINE THEN! I'll just go to pony-heaven..."
Suddenly the scenery changes, and there is completely white pegasus in front of him: "You are not wanted here", the pegasus tells him.
Solar stares: "WHAT? HEAVEN AND TARTARUS DON'T WANT ME? That's horrible!"
"I never said heaven doe...", the pegasus begins but Solar is already walking away.
--Meanwhile in Timberwolf-heaven--
"Do you think Solar will join us?"
"He should be coming any second now, so yes"
--Back at Nightmare's place--
Just as Nightmare is about to finish Luna off, there is an interruption... AGAIN.
"WHAT IS IT? I am busy, can't you see?"
He sees the Timberwolf from before, and laughed: "Oh, cannot get enough of solarrays, can you? You should try Solar-powe..."
"Shut up."
Nightmare stops. "Did you just tell me to shut..."
"Shut up!"
"NOONE TELLS..."
"SHUT UP! I DON'T FEAR YOU, YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE! NEITHER TARTARUS NOR HEAVEN WANTS ME, SO YOU CANNOT KILL ME YOU FREAK!"
"OH, YOU ARE ABOUT TO FIND OUT HOW MUCH I CAN KILL YOU!"
Solar laughs almost as maniacally as Nightmare, "Yeah, I will! And the answer is: You can't. I am stuck wandering the planet forever, unable to die..."
Nightmare simply smashes right through Solar and turns around: "Fool."
Solar re-forms into himself, and giggles: "Fool? FOOL? YOU are the one turning his back on an enemy. YOU are the one who's been ignoring the princesses all this time. YOU are the one who is a fool."
One of Nightmare's tails throws him over the horizon, "Fool", before resuming his fight against the princesses.
--Solar--
"Welcome to Valhalla! We let everyone partake in our... afterlife...", the Guardian of Valhalla says, before stuttering upon seeing a Timberwolf.
Solar couldn't be happier at that moment, jumps at the Guardian out of happiness: "YOU MEAN I CAN DI.. Where did Valhalla go?"
As he looks around, he sees he is in some sort of movie-theatre. There is a huge stack of movies piled up, with everything needed (INCLUDING JUNK-FOOD, YAY) already set up.
"I guess it cannot hurt to watch another movie..."
As the first movie starts, 'Hairy Potato and the Glimmerstone', he believes it to be a parody of something, a Dalek-beam destroys the pile of movies.
"DIE DIE DIE DALEK!"
"IMPOSSIBLE! THIS SPECIMEN SEEMS TO BE UNABLE TO DIE!"
-----
Most useful power?
*facepalm*
You already told us in the story. His healing-factor.
Or maybe you meant besides that?
I sincerely hope you were not assaulting religion in the real world in this chapter. That would be... problematic for me.
Bugze's best power is his ability to survive attacks that would cripple or kill almost anyone else.
The force of the battle shatters what little remains of the city. Although the nightmare is badly injured in the fighting, it is ultimately victorious and turns its attention to destroying the Dalek invasion force, which, now that there's nothing to distract the nightmare, are destroyed with ease.
Most useful power? Definitely his "Kung Fu for Dummies" moves. They're what he uses most consistently to create openings to incapacitate his enemies, or to move around the environment without his teleport spell dumping him off in an unfavorable area.
Nightmare Bugzee starts singing
"As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look at my life and realize there's none left'
Cause I've been brassing and laughing so long that
Even Grandbuggy thinks that my mind is gone
But I ain't never crossed a mare that didn't deserve it
Me be treated like a nymph, you know that's unheard of
You better watch how you talking, and where you walking
Or you and your ponies might be lined in chalk
I really hate to trip but I gotta lope
As they croak I see myself in the magic smoke foal
I'm the kinda G that little ponies want to be like
On my knees in the night, saying prayers in the street light
They been spending most their lives living in the Nightmare's paradise
They been spending most their lives living in the Nightmare's paradise
We keep spending most our lives living in the Nightmare's paradise
We keep spending most our lives living in the Nightmare's paradise"
"Say hello to my not-so-little friend!" The Nightmare yells as he aims George at the royal sisters... only for George to sputter a few times and give him an error message. "What? George, why are you not introducing yourself to the Princesses, and then introducing the Princesses to their deaths?! WORK ALREADY!"
"Five second cooldown complete: ready to use." George says in a robotic hum.
"Then if you wouldn't mind... KILL THEM!"
"Systems ready: I'mma firing mah lazer!"
A massive wave of energy surges through the streets towards the Princesses as the Nightmare hoots in destructive glee. Celestia and Luna dive out of the way to either side in what would have been an awesome slo-mo shot if it weren't for the fact that they almost got their royal flanks buttered and toasted.
Luna hears a shout from down the street and sees Cadence protecting, Tennent, Derpy and the Doctor from a collapsing wall of rubble.
"Sister, we must take this fight elsewhere!" Luna yells to Celestia as she takes to the air. She fires a stinging blast of magic into the Nightmare's face and begin's taunting him. "What be-ith the matter Nightmare; can't hit a moving target?" she says and shakes her flank at him from the sky.
With an infuriated roar, The nightmare takes aim again at the Princess's swooping form. "Firing main cannon." George states as he shoots another beam which is easily dodged from up in the sky.
George begins another cooldown as the Nightmare is struck from behind with another blast. It whips around to find Celestia standing there with a mocking grin. The nightmare sweeps the ground with its remaining tails, but Celestia takes to the air to join her sister.
The two continue to fire blasts at the Nightmare from above while evading his counterattacks, kiting him towards the castle and away from the Doctor and the others.
"Quickly Luna, we'll bring him to the castle!" Celestia yells "We'll keep him there as long as we can; bring it down on top of him if we have to!"
"Do you think that will keep him occupied?" Luna asks.
"Get back here you royal pains in our flank!" The Nightmare screams as it fills the sky by flinging chunks of rock, stagecoaches, and whatever else crosses its path.
"Perhaps for a few moments at best, sister. Let's hope it counts."
=====
As for today's question, I'm not sure if this is a power, but it's sure saved Bugzy's flank in the past. His ability to make up excuses and have ponies actually believe him.
Yes we've since found out that the Doctor has been responsible for much of Bugzy's cover not getting blown thanks to that perception filter, but think of all the times Bugzy has been called out on something due to suspicion, stuttered out something vaguely plausible, and ponies be like: "That makes sense. Carry on."
If that isn't a flipping superpower, I don't know what is!
Bugze's most useful power is insanity.

Somewhere in Canterlot, in a house, a scream could be listened
"Nooooo!!!!" Shout Kichi
Kichi look to the screen in black
"Why? Just why must this happen?" Ask Kichi a little angry
"Come on, it's not that bad, right?" Ask the colt
"Not bad? I was going to finish that damn boss after half a hour of battle, and now I need to try again but it seems we don't have electricity" Comment Kichi
"Damn Lady Luck" Say the colt
"Now, don't say that... She don't like that" Say Kichi
"Wait, you follow Lady Luck?" Ask the colt
"I only know that our boss used to curse Lady Luck everyday and his live become a Tartarus, so I will not take any chance" Comment Kichi
The colt nod and look to Kichi
"So... What can we do?" Ask the colt
"Well, it seems we don't have electricity, so I think the plan A, stay hidden and wait for our boss to suicide himself cannot be... I suposse I will need to do my job and search for the others, maybe they have a plan or managed to take something of use" Comment Kichi
"So... You are going to search the others because you are bored and because maybe we find someone that have games and electricity" Say the colt
"Who? Me?" Ask Kichi sarcastically
"What about go to any noble house and wait in there?" Ask the colt
"Because they are the first target of everypony, and also knowing those nobles of canterlot, if they did not take everything, what left is under too many security" Say Kichi
"Soo... How are we going to walk around Canterlot without those Tin Cans killing us?" Ask the colt
"That's a good questions... Damn tin cans" Groan Kichi
"What if we use mirror to reflect their beams?" Ask the colt
"Do you want to test that, knowing that if you fail you could be vaporized?" Ask Kichi
"Errr... Maybe we can find a deck of cards or play tic-tac-toe" Say the colt
Most useful power? Defenitely the ability to simply learn stuff from reading it once or seeing it performed once.

If you guys are having trouble deciding on a funny death for your "cameos" inside the fic, might I recommend
Just replace the steamroller/Giant Sloth with a Dalek with a busted laser who is slowly rolling in with intent to suck your face in with it's plunger;
The ability to find random but useful things in battle.
6191543 I didn't know that we need to kill them
"Enough of this Celestia, your sister is dying, and hope is lost! But We shall make you a deal, tell us who that stranger with you was, and we'll let you live slightly longer.
Celestia is horrified as he speaks, but she decides to turn down the the deal the Nightmare makes.
"No."
"What?"
"No, Nightmare. I will never tell you who that stranger was... because I don't know him!" She says making a troll face.
"We should have expected you to do so. We know, how about we ask your soon-to-be-dead sister Luna!" The Nightmare explains as he turns towards Luna.
"Luna, tell us who the stranger was!"
"You... You fool. I will n-n-never tell you about the stranger you speak of."
The Nightmare just shrugs and says, "So be it." And (insert Luna's death or something else)
You lunch out one of your nine tails at Luna and the rest on Celestia. As you got Luna tide up with your tails you began talking to her maybe try to turn her to the Dark side or in your case the Nightmare side.
"Luna why do you side with these guys why can't you be on my side." you asked
"Why should I?" Luna demanded
"Because between you and me we are kind a close we both experience the nightmare and how powerful it is and let me tell you it feels wonderful. You should embrace it again." you said feeling the power of the nightmare that flows through you.
"Never! I was free from the nightmares grasp long ago and I will never go through it again." Luna shouted
"But why we could rule Equstria together. We both have some much in conmen I know for a fact that you like video games." you replied
"How do you know?"
"Come on all those video game characters attacking me. Who has the power and knowledge to bring those guys here." You replied
"Point taken but I will never accept your demands I will never become nightmare moon again." Luna replied again.
Your nogation with her didn't seem to work no matter how much you tried.
"Come on Luna join me we can rule Equstia as king and Queen of the night."
"No"
"Please" you said with a smile
"I said NO!" she shouted.
You then gave up
"Oh Well I tried I guess she can use what's left of your body when I'm done with it." So you launched Luna towards the nearest building and switch your focus on Celestia.
1. bugzes most useful weapon is his falcon punch since he uses it for almost every situation hes in
2. if I were to have a charatcer in this story it would be this:
the apocalypse crazy suit of armor (look up mordekaiser from league of legends, he looks like that) woke up from his thousand years of slumber
"I AM FINALLY FREE! EVERYBODY WILL NOW KNOW THE AWESOMENESS OF THE BAND PENTAKILL APOCALYPSE! HAHAHAHA- what the fuck are you doing?" he said to the brown dog beating the mangled and slightly singed squid thing with a hammer
"i'm mincing the meat, what else does it look like?" the brown dog replied
the suit of armor just shrugged as he exited the building only to stop in his tracks in fear as he looks up
"OH NO, GIANT. FLOATING. POROS (look up poros, they're adorable, the also explode into multiple, smaller poros when you feed them too much poro snax)"
the now bloody brown dog walks out and gives him a deadpan look
"those are clouds"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH" the suit of armor screams and runs off towards the crystal caverns entrance
the brown dog just shrugs as he resumes beating the ever living shit out of the half alive dalek
meanwhile with the suit of armor
"-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA- whats going on in here?" the suit of armor stops as the daleks turn around and surround the suit of armor
"EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!" the daleks say as the begin chargin' their lazars
"uhh, I wouldn't recommend that-" the suit of armor states before being shot at from all directions
each shot rips through the suit of armor and out the other side killing all the daleks that had surrounded him
"well, shit" the suit of armor says as he looks at the various holes in his body "this'll be a real bitch to fix, not to mention its severely weakened now"
he looks up to see a bunch of ponies staring at him wide eyed
"what?" he asks
"nothing, as you were" sapphire shores says
"right, where was I? oh right. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH" as he screams and runs out the exit, not noticing another squadron of daleks heading towards the cavern
a few more hours of screaming and running later
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaah *pant* wheeze*, jeez, I know I have no lungs, but *wheeze* WOW that takes a lot out of- hew where am I?" the suit of armor says as he looks around to see a shadowy figure with tentacles duking it out with two horse looking things
"wow hecarm would love this (hecarim is like tirek, but less bull). he would be all like 'suffering is magic' (actual quote btw, look it up) and would-" the suit of armors speech was cut off as he was hit by a surprisingly familiar looking guitar taking out the last of his support in his body.
"well, if im going out, im going out with a pro solo. ROCK YOU LIKE A HURRICAAAAAAANE" taking out the guitar and performing the most awesome solo in the world and finishing with the universal 'rock on hand gesture before exploding into a cloud of shrapenel
guitar solo: (since my computer is a bitch, I have no idea if the video will skip to the correct time, if it does not, skip to 2:31)
This is getting really fucking annoying!
