After 1,000 years of banishment on the moon, Nightmare Moon has returned. Six brave heroes fought her using ancient artifacts, but in the end, they had lost the fight.
With the Elements of Harmony shattered, Eternal Night had truly come over Equestria.
Though, in this dark hour, a trio of other heroes rose, heroes driven by the desire to save their sisters and idols.
Nightmare Moon was in for a surprise, the biggest one in her millennial life.....
A story written for the first ever Cutie Mark Crusaders Day!
Chapters (2)
So what really happens to mane six anyway?

They got tired and went home
A good idea for celebrating their day. Gettind defeating by foals will be quite embarressing for Nightmare Moon. And it's a very brave act by the CMC
8564066
These fillies can do everything if they set their mind to it, they have all it needs; bravery, intelligence and team spirit.
This will be a bone-crushing experience for Nightmare Moon.
Thanks for favouriting it!

You're welcome, keep up the good work! And I agree about the CMC. I always susüected that those 3 fillies could be the successors for the elements of their bigger sisters
Great work! And nice trick they had, sometimes, the simpelst are the best.
Looking forward to the sequel
Crusaderverse?
9186536
An alternate universe where Applebloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle defeated Nightmare Moon and became Equestria's saviors instead of the Mane Six. One of the ideas for an own universe I have.
9186594
Well...yes, I understood that, but has it been made?
9191914
Not yet, no. I added it to the pile of ideas right after I wrote this story here. I want to become a much better author first before I tackle starting my own universe.
9192179
Aw...All right. I eagerly await your unique universe, good sir.
9196902
There are people who eagerly await an own universe, by me?
9196930
Yes, yes there is. I personally, feel that the Element of Loyalty should have backfired in the first place, because I don't think that Rainbow Dash deserves to be the Element of Loyalty. I mean, it's been five years since Rainbow Dash made Scootaloo her honorary little sister and yet Rainbow Dash STILL hasn't taught Scootaloo how to fly yet. Then there was the Gilda debacle in Season 1, and the Canterlot Wedding debacle in Season 2, as well as the Lesson Zero debacle in Season 2, and knocking Fluttershy off of that cloud and to her should-have-been death in the race to defend Fluttershy's honor in Flight Camp, and abandoning Gilda when she dropped out of Flight Camp, etc.
That was fantastic! Please make more of this Crusaderverse

Thanks for the comment and the fave.^^ I was in a rather bad mental condition when I wrote this, so it's not on my best level of writing. It's rushed, many of the dialogues are too unoriginal and boring and I'm not completely convinced of their strategy to defeat Nightmare Moon..... which might be because it is so rushed and not fleshed out enough.
I will probably write this scenario again in a better and longer form once I go and create this universe, but I'm glad you could still find some enjoyment in the story that gave birth to the idea for it.
A little silly the second part but I guess it will do, I wonder if they could do the same with Discord or King Sombra

They deceive Nightmare Moon with Sweetie pretending to be on her side, nullify her magic with magic-absorbing rocks, break her wings to keep her from flying and then help Luna to regain control of her body by encouraging her and lifting her spirits.
What exactly do you perceive as silly about this?
9980910
I guess more that silly is simple, and I'm surprised that Nightmare failed to that or that a group of fillies managed to not only make the plan but do it and Nightmare being defeated by it, I guess I was thinking Nightmare Moon could be more intelligent or something, or that she only need three fillies talking to Luna for her hold to disappear, not to say how they discovered about WHO is Luna and all that in a couple of hours
9980946
You should put more trust and faith in foals. Your perception of the second part being silly stems from it that you consider it as hardly possible that three fillies can do something like this, outsmarting and defeating a powerful tyrant like that. Children can be very strong, reliable and smart and they are capable of more things than what human society gives them credit for. Especially in Equestria.
9981000
I don't say it can't be, I for one know another similar story... I guess they can do it, but somehow it feels as if a big group of coincidences sometimes
9981373
Hardly a coincidence when they came up with the plan all by themselves and organized themselves everything they needed to execute it.
9981525
A coincidence that Nightmare decided to trust a filly or not just knock her for disturb her, or that she had fallen to the pit instead of evade, or they had the anti-magic, or that Nightmare could not get the hits in her wings like nothing or overpower the crystals with alicorn magic, or another coincidence that they managed to release the hold of Nightmare in Luna, if not, things could had gone bad
9981554
Calling everything that children manage to accomplish without the help of adults a "coincidence" is a horribly belittling thing to do.
That was a good story.
