I'm intrigued about what Twilight must have done, from the newest nightmare sequence and visions. I'm also wondering what she could have made Sunny do while sleepwalking...

Someone better check on Pipp, no one else thought to, and she is an adorable young Pegasus who only recently learned to fly...

Perhaps the past should have stayed buried.

And it seems that Twilight (Or, at least, what used to be Twilight) is essentially taking control of Sunny's form while she's asleep and is moving her about. The fact that it only seems to be getting worse and worse does not bode well.

The second guard turned immediately into Zipp’s room, and Sunny let out a blast of air in relief. While she waited, the second guard stared at her suspiciously, but said nothing.

I think this was meant to be the first guard, and not the second?

Thank you, I’ve fixed it.

Alright, it does feel a bit like the calm before the storm. I can only hope, even if it's sound a bit bad to hope for that, that it's something that's affecting Sunny and Sunny only. It could just be the vengeance of a spurred Princess, render mad when her lifework collapsed and getting a futile revenge against what is basically her successor.

Yet I'm pretty sure it's not this. Something's lurking in the magic. And I can't even know if Sunny will be the (unwilling, I hope) herald of the end due to some magical possession, or if the end of the world is already coming, and she'll just be powerless against it (it is Grimdark, after all !). Or if that's going to be something else altogether.

Halloween is two days away. The clock's ticking.
Soon we'll have the answers.
The characters probably won't like them. But I'll do

Did anyone else notice that Sunny slept during the day and did not appear to have the nightmare?

In a flash a dozen scenes ran through her mind, each image present only a fraction of a second yet burned onto her retina still. Visions of Pegasi being cut down by a ray of magic. The grotesque and mangled faces of Pegasi, bloodied by a dozen hoofprints. And finally, piles and piles of charred wings, their feathers long turned to ash by raging magical fires.

is this story showing a Tiwlight that had gone 100% Mad?

you can say that again, o.o

I don't think anyone or anything could stop Twilight right now. Was Nightmare Twilight the reason the tribes became disbanded? If so that would be very cool and I would kind of wish that was cannon.

“Her Excellency can rest easy,” he said, handing the crystal to Zipp. “The Queen sleeps soundly. In fact, her guards state nopony has even walked by her room this evening.”

Yeah... something tells me she's not fine at all.

And then Sunny was awake, not screaming, not crying, but not in her bed, not laying down. She was still in the guest quarters that had been provided to her, directly in the middle of the room, light and warmth around her. Sunny blinked once, confused. Had she dreamt? She hadn’t woken up in terror, but she had woken up.

Uh oh folks I think we have a mild case of body possession

Hopefully now that other ponies can see her insane-twilight won't posses her body

She still managed to make her laugh when Izzy was watching... And without much knowledge of magic, there isn't much they can do.
Their only hope is to try and reform Twilight.

No, I think Twilight used Sunny’s magic to teleport into her room to take the Crystal.

But that was laughter pretty normal. Hope twilight doesn't do anything abnormal

the best there ever was

Hahaha where's my pokeballs?

Oh man...visions of bloody pegasi...a stolen crystal...
I think I need to hit refresh until the next chapter pops up

What shocked her most were her bloodshot eyes, so constricted and red it was as if she had kept them open for a week straight.

That wouldn't even be that far off the truth.

“Heh, ‘height of the height’, cause we’re on a mountain, right?”

Sunny: "Neigh!"

“The works, I think,” Queen Haven said, scrutinizing Sunny over her sunglasses. “Nothing left out.”
“And the comfiest room for the night,” Zipp added.

Queen Haven: "And call for Zoom and Thunder to join her! She's in dire need of some cuddling."

Sunny smiled at the two of them, her thoughts drifting to the various luxuries she had seen about the city.
If their dungeons are like spas, I wonder what their spas contain?

Good question actually.
