"Seize her! Only she knows where the Princess is!"
Mayor Mare's command was in vain. The three royal guards in attendance were easily struck down by lightning bolts shooting out of Nightmare's mane.
"Now the night will last... Forever!" With one last maniacal laugh, she turned into a cloud of dark mist and shot out through the door.
"Come back here!" Rainbow Dash pursued for a short distance, but the cloud quickly raced away. "Nighttime? Forever?"
Below her, Twilight Sparkle rushed out through the door. She stopped just outside, staring in the direction Nightmare had gone. "Okay, girls. It's time!"
Rainbow nodded, flying down next to her along with the other four Elements of Harmony. "Ready!"
Twilight grinned. "Okay, brace yourselves! This is going to be a pretty long jump!"
In one huge flash, they all disappeared.
* * *
The answering flash deposited them all in the throne room of the Castle of the Royal Pony Sisters. The ruined walls loomed above them, and Nightmare Moon stood directly ahead.
Nightmare's eyebrow rose. "You're kidding. You're kidding, right?"
As soon as the six of them together laid eyes on the stone elements behind Nightmare Moon, gems popped out of each stone. Every gem floated over to a pony and affixed itself as a necklace.
"No!" Nightmare screamed. "Not again!"
Beams of rainbow light burst out of the necklaces, swirling around Nightmare and blasting the evil from her. A moment later, all that remained was a shocked and very weakened Princess Luna.
On the horizon, the sun rose again, violating Nightmare's dark promises. A bright flash washed through the room, and Princess Celestia stood before them.
While the other five ponies bowed, Twilight ran up to her. "Princess! You're back!"
"And I have you to thank for it." Celestia smiled. "I knew you could do it." She looked over to her long-lost sister. "And I want to thank you for bringing my sister back to me as well."
This seems familiar
Like that story (which isn't very good, I don't know what the author was thinking), this story doesn't really deviate from the show enough to be noticeable. I guess that's sort of the point, but it just feels really boring, not necessarily funny.
... That's it?
5026063 <I'm with this guy.
5026063 agreed. first chapter was kind of funny, this one, not so much. I'll read a few more and see if it gets any better.
I agree that using the fact that it is really that simple and could easily be resolved but it seems to be rushed if you want the story to be simple for the heroes focus on characters.
This is almost exactly how I became a brony: Finish the two-parter opening, become instantly hooked, wait with baited breath for next instalments. Now I'm getting all sentimental...
Quick, somebody get the Staples button!
5026063 That is exactly what I thought when I saw this. I even checked to see who the author was.
I am still interested in seeing where you take this.
KBO.
