This story is a sequel to Splashdown
Things have been shaken up by Luna's surprise appearance and subsequent journey to Earth. As the world tries to find its footing in a universe much different then they expected, and as the strange phenomenon of "magic" begins to spread, everyone's having to make some accommodations-- Luna not least, with the Nightmare now an equal holder of her own body; not a great arrangement. But among all this, the attack onboard Hornet lurks, begging the question: Who was behind it? What do they want? And is it already too late to stop it?
Chapters (5)
They want to know Luna's capabilities for medical purposes. Hoo boy...
Okay...I wanna know what Nightmare's speech - in her native tongue, I presume - was.
Nightmare, what did you do?
Why do I get the feeling she gave a generic "I have come to rule you all! I have already subdued your leader!" alien speech?
5428576 Judging by Luna's reaction, I think it was something more... embarrassing.
Oh Nighty, you naughty girl
Ooo Nighty, I really like you
So, what does the Edmund Fitzgerald have to do with the story?
5429336
Aha! I knew someone would figure at least one of the clues out! If you can figure out another, there should be a connection.
Why this story isn't marked as a sequel to Splashdown? I only discovered it by chance, because of that.
Oh how i eagerly await the next installment.
5429948
My apologies, I've been rather busy lately. I will endeavor to link all of the sequels together tomorrow.
Did she.. Did she describe a sexual experience in /very/ fine details?
oh nighty... you are such a naughty girl. i think moonbutt needs to give a proper... punishment.
5429922 THE EDMUND FITZGERALD, as in the famous Canadian cargo tanker that sank in Lake Superior. I am a NERD for that Ship, It even got a song, a SONG, and it is POPULAR.
5428457 Most likely an erotic story given how Luna needed mindbleach.
Why do I get the feeling Nightmare just gave the soldiers in I believe Vietnam the ability to use magic?
Drunk Luna is a funny Luna.
Luna and Nightmare arguing is funny.
5633800
Not Nightmare. The other guy. The one Luna and Nightmare confronted together.
This will not end well. Keep up the good work.
IT NEEDS MORE!
This story just got jive
I never liked portrayal of Discord as a murderer, because killing is way of order and Discord is spirit of chaos. Killing is antithesis of chaos. Life is chaos. No life is order.
Come on anyone think it would be cool that luna play pong when the moon landing happen it was 1969 and pong come out in 1972
5429922 I like to ask what would happen if luna live there until one day her sister take her back from the yr of now and she start wear clothe becasue its how we roll.
i wonder how they would handle it with her using high tech stuff like computer food that need no drit to grow on and power her stuff with the sun alone
Welcome to 'Nam.
5703976 The Horror... the horror...
Sorry, but there are no infirmaries aboard ship, as that's an Army term. You mean a sick bay.
Don't humans know how sexy evil alicorns can be?
5747372
Thanks for the note. Will correct.
And thus Luna and Nightmare Moon discover the miracles of modern medicine...Aspirin.
Hmmm... don't recall one way or the other whether a beer ration was authorized for the Apollo 11 crew (usually, US vessels are dry).
Meh, call it dramatic licence - a hungover Nightmare Moon is too good to miss. Stet
[Short-form variation of what you wrote]"The Nightmare groaned. 'I...'d kill you, mortal' she wheezed, hoof clutching at forehead., 'But it'd hurt too much to do it...' she subsided..."
5633800 I believe reactivated their ability to do magic. Remember in this universe Earth has a magical field. It is just atrophied due to lack of use over the centuries.
5762739 but in the end maybe is best we never use magic in the end.
as the old saying gose don't open padrio box unlaset you want hell on earth
I am pretty certain they didn't get a drink until they hit land. Then they got plastered.
hehehe
5762566 I'm pretty sure they're on land now
5489220 I once named a ship in Kerbal Space Program the "Challenger Titanic Fitzgerald". Then I did it again to save the first one. Then I did it again and sucessfully saved the first one! CTF IV was an undeniable success!!!
We do not speak of CTF II...
I also love that song. Twas a true tragedy.
I only gest now learned of this stories existence.
Dammit, didn't see the updates to the very first story. Good thing I decided to go down nostalgia lane which led me to knowing there were more of this story!
It's been great so far! Keep up the great work!
I'm trying to picture Nightmare Moon (who we have recently discovered is basically Vengful Spirit from Dota), in Luna's body, seductivly taunting Buzz Aldrin... What is my life? What am I reading?
This version of Nightmare does not fit my headcannon... But I love her!
It has lost a lot of the charm of the original story that's for sure. Still intriguing though.
This Nightmare Moon makes me chuckle. But her assumption that humans as a whole are idiots makes me even more amused at just how big her ego is. I wonder how long until something comes along to change her mind? Then again she's vengence, on the other hand... *Taps his chin in thought and let's it trail off* Either way. Interesting way to set her up, i'm curious to see how this goes.
Oh yes... I can see Nighty slowly caring to an extent about Neil as he's the one I see is going to have the most contact with Luna. At least to a point. Then again I could be completely wrong *Snickers*
How did I miss this coming out?! Well, time for more enjoyment of the Luna/NMM vs one of the worst presidents in US History
6748428
Sad to see a great president being overshadowed by his greatest mistake
6858469 only one mistake? He made MANY MANY mistakes and blunders. Hell, HE could have ended the threat of M.A.D if it asn't for his obsession with the STARWARS project (not the film)
6858710
Name one of his mistakes besides his watergate scandal and other scandulous activities, includIng what you said
Then name one of his great achievements aside from ending the vietnam war
Even FDR did worse things than Nixon
Hopefully, this will get queued up for another update soon. I am quite enjoying this series of stories. It is also interesting to see the interaction of the contractually bound daemon and a normal person in one body.
