This story is a sequel to PONY POV SERIES SEASON 8: FINALE!
This takes place narratively after the entire pony pov series, IE, Pony Pov Series episode 435 (actual final chapter, "I wish you all to fair well my friends.") as there are spoilers for the entire series in here. So please read this last.
This was commissioned by me years ago to Godzillawolf, who has only now gotten around to completing it. I felt the story might have needed more polish, but after all the blood, sweat and tears he put into working it, he just waned it DONE, and I can very much appreciate that.
The story will run about 3 parts give or take.
The title says it all really about what this IS about! It's SIRENS, verses NIGHTMARES, who is gonna win? No matter who wins, we lose.
I hope you enjoy this final run through the pony pov series.

I can already the song screaming in my head.
Also, Aria, I need to ask you a favour.
10090037
Already what screaming in your head?
10090040
I wish she could respond, but in-character responses are forbidden by our admin overlords.
10090253
I can imagine Adagio mocking, "You ain't seen nothin' yet!"
10090063
Welcome to the Show.
10094049
I fallen into a spell. My bad!
So... is this really the end of your fanfiction writing days? Because you said that previously, yet didn't stop then.
10216715
I didn't write this story. I commissioned it years ago, and the author jut now finally got around to writing it.
I apologize that you wondering if I was going to write more was all you got from the story, that is a failure on my part since I read through, edited, and approved this story as canon for my fanon.
10217803
Ah right, a commission. Okay, yeah, that makes sense.
Just, you said you were done with fanfiction after Pony PoV's finalle, but you've gone ahead and done stuff like your version of TCB.
That was a good story it was nice to have another look at the dark world timeline. the fight against the sirens was fun to read it made alot of sense for they're powers to be such a hard counter to the Nightmares its to bad they were just as evil. Was the first ending the original version the second ending a failed attempt at fixing the timeline?
11775244
Very glad you enjoyed it and the hard counter worked and made sense.
First 'ending' was the original 'bad ending' as part of the time loop, second one was a 'what if' Eclipse wasn't forced to help to show it wasn't going to work unless something different was attempted.
What would happen if the Sirens came through the mirror during the first cycle?
11968670
Depends how long it took Discord to spot them and what POINT In the first cycle.
11968802
It would happen near the end of the first cycle.
11968839
Again, depends if Discord spots them early or not. Equus is a PLANET after all, and Discord's senses are not infinite in a physical form.
The Sirens could be munching on negativity on the other side of the planet when time is reversed and that is that.
That's how Paradox is able to get the Nightmare Gallery to work together.
What would Sunset as Discord's lackey be like?
If there's nothing left of Discord, would Eclipse restore him for more revenge?
11970172
Which version of Sunset Shimmer?
Discord left the holder of Magic utterly broken and separated from those she loved. She'd have likely ended up an empty shell like Twilight and Trixie!
YES!!!!!!!
What would D___t think of Nightmare Eclipse?
11971428
Be overjoyed at first, but quickly realize she's a delusional hypocrite, and either fight against her, or string her along for his own mission of divine genocide.
11971521
How would the fight between D___t and Eclipse go? How would D___t using Eclipse for his goals go?
11971554
Why do you wish to know?
"How would the fight between D___t and Eclipse go? How would D___t using Eclipse for his goals go?"
*imagination clinically dead, unable to comply*
Is it possible for the Sirens to transform into Nightmares?
11973136
Yes. But unlikely in any of these timelines since the Sirens aren't interested in enlightenment.
Would the Nightmare Gallery win if Mirror and Whisper fought the Sirens' real bodies?
11973148
It would have drawn out the fight.
11973184
Would the fight end if Eclipse used the Destruction Spell on the Sirens gems before the Sirens regenerated?
11973189
There's a difference between a Destruction Spell and Destruction's POWER.
What Discord uses is the actual power of his brother Destruction, who is...well, the anthropomorphic personification and cosmic force of destruction. Destruction can theoretically destroy anything, which is why he was able to destroy the Element of Trust. Eclipse never had that, she just has destruction spells that wouldn't be able to get the job done.
So theoretically DISCORD could maybe do that, but Eclipse can't.
11973148
The problem is that the Nightmares are literally walking power batteries for the sirens.
What would happen if the Harmony Queens used their Elements of Harmony on the Sirens?
11973661
THey're not AS corrupt as the Nightmares, so it's a toss up, they're basically out of balance.
Would Tirek absorb the Nightmare Gallery's Elements of Harmony blast like the Sirens?
11975919
no
11975935
Did the iterations of Tirek that fought the Nightmares get erased from existence?
Adagio can still rewind time multiple times in a row without too much drain. Shadows of Existences from previous erased timelines would have to be used in order to stand more of a chance against the Sirens.
11977801
I think they destroyed the spell after using it once to get their ideal outcome.
11977868
I meant the time reversal spell that reverses time for only a short period.
Eclipse could've created her perfect world while torturing Discord, but was busy procrastinating.
Nightmare!Apple Pie would end the cycle of revenge because she doesn't have the power to continue this cycle of revenge.
Would Eclipse make Reharmonized!Diamond Tiara disown Reharmonized!Discord? Is Eclipse aware of Shining Armour being Twilight's brother in the Heart World?
11980804
Say again please?
11981124
Eclipse could've created her perfect world while torturing Discord, but was busy procrastinating. Nightmare!Apple Pie would end the cycle of revenge because she doesn't have the power to continue this cycle of revenge.
Would Eclipse make Reharmonized!Diamond Tiara disown Reharmonized!Discord? Is Eclipse aware of Shining Armour being Twilight's brother in the Heart World?
11981134
She kept herself in a time bubble, she as likely ignorant o this truth simply because she didn't let herself catch up with.
Nightmare Eclipse is the ultimate manipulator when it comes to Nightmares. But Nightmare Nhilis is would have to care first. It would be the ultimate mental game of chess.
11981142
Would the Sirens get stronger near Nightmare Nhilis?
11981153
Good question.
She's meant to be emptiness.
What would Nightmare Eclipse think of the Muses from the the Mirror Universe?
11983818
Irrelevant.
Even 6 Angry Pies will do better against the Sirens than the Nightmare Gallery.
“...So we could get Tempo and Oratorio back?” Sonata asked, showing a spark of hope.
It would make for an interesting oneshot, if Adagio, Aria, and Sonata DID save Tempo and Oratorio... only for them to be horrified at the monsters their sisters have become in the millennia since.
11997633
Oh their sisters WOULD BE completely horrified if they were straight up resurrected and met who Adagio, Aria Sonata, are now. They'd denounce them as nightmarish mockeries of their siblings. Or beg them to realize this isn't them. Adagio meanwhile, having become so twisted that she and her sisters are the one known mortals to earn a blessing from the concept of evil itself, plans to cheat, turn back time to the moment of the disaster, prevent her sisters from dying, and corrupt them like she, Aria, and Sonata were corrupted.
If Nightmare Eclipse had Spacebattles Competence, she and her Gallery would escape from the Sirens immediately before the Sirens can absorb too much energy from them. After they escape back to their stable, they wait until the confrontation between Elements of Harmony users of the current loop and the Sirens concludes.
