Bad Dragon's Short Stories

by Bad Dragon

19 - Rulebreaker [2022.01]

We are tired of living in thy shadow, sister! But it all ends today, for obedient Luna is no more. Tonight, Nightmare Moon rises!

I was entrusted to protect Equestria and shall do so even against you, my sister!

Pff, we have already dethroned you, thou just do not know it yet.

What evil scheme do you intend to enact, rulebreaker?

Well… We heard there is a new issue of the Adventures of Clover the Clever comic in the library.

Wait, what? You absorbed all that power of darkness in order to... read a comic?

And while we do, you shall take care of our queendom.

But I have been doing that exact thing all along.

Also, when it’s time for the night, you shall raise the moon for me, okay?

Whatever you say, rebel…

And if anypony asks for me, tell them you sent me to the moon or something.

That is a different alternate universe. It is more like an half strike than a rebellion.

[Octoskan]

Aw, that's super cute.

11140649 What makes you think it's an AU? Don't you think there should be a reason why Celestia deleted Luna from history?

This story explains it. Celestia loved Luna, so she deleted her from history which allowed her to read comics all days long. But after a millennium there simply wasn't any books left to read, so they staged a 'come back'. We never actually saw Luna coming from the moon. That's because she was never there in the first place.

11140714 I know right? Luna just wanted to read a comic. That's all she ever wanted.

11140834 Did you ever have those days before exams when you just wish you could leave all your responsibilities and go do something fun? Well, Luna had that feeling all the time. And now she can have fun all the time.

Yeah, I did. I envy Luna

[Bad Dragon]

11140961 Her fun has been doubled. I wish we had the courage to double our own.
