Celestia sat at her ornate desk, surrounded by piles of official documents that required her attention. As she signed her name on this one particularly decree, she heard the sound of hooves echoing through the hall outside her chamber. The rhythmic clacking grew louder until it stopped abruptly outside her door.
She looked up as the door opened and a royal guard entered. "Your Highness." he said with a bow, "I am here to report that your order has been carried out."
Celestia nodded, a small smile playing at the corners of her lips. "Thank you, My little pony. I appreciate your diligence." She motioned for him to continue after notice his expression.
The guard hesitated for a moment before speaking again. "Forgive me, Princess, but rumors have been circulating that we may be under threat of invas...."
Before the guard could finished, a soft knock interrupted them. A servant entered the room, carrying a tray of breakfast dishes. "Please wait for a moment. I will give your question the attention it deserves as soon as I am able." Celestia said as waved the guard off and turned her attention to the servant.
"Good morning, dear. You're just in time," Celestia said with a warm smile. "I'm famished."
As Celestia help her set the dishes on the table, the servant suddenly remembered something and reached into her pocket. "Oh, Your Highness, I almost forgot. There's a letter for you from your protégé." she said, levitating the letter over to Celestia.
Celestia took the letter in her magical grip and thanked the servant before turning her attention back to the missive. She carefully broke the seal and began to read.
Nightmare Moon chuckled to herself as she traced out the spell matrix on the lunar surface. It was a complicated spell, but she had been working on it for a long time and she was confident that it would work.
"Now, I know what you're thinking," she said. "You're thinking, 'How on earth can you possibly hope to break the seal that and get off this desolate rock?'"
She paused, looking up at the sky above her. "Well, let me tell you in a Layman's term, it's all about taking over the start sequence. The spell matrix will override the original seal and execute it in reverse, sending me back to the starting coordinate."
She grinned, feeling a surge of excitement. "Sure, it's not the most efficient spell in the world, but who cares? I'm the Mare of the moon, and I'll make it work."
As she finished carving out another logic gate of the spell matrix, another small gear of her grand machine. she looked up and called out, "Hey, Armstone! Does this look good enough?"
There was no response, of course. NEET Armstone was just a rock that she had found on the surface of the moon, but Nightmare Moon liked to imagine that he was her loyal friend.
"You know Armstone, I always wondered why star fleet never installed seat belts on their starships. It's like they want to fly around the galaxy without any safety precautions. It's not very logical, is it?"
As the hours passed, Comfortable silence reign in, as the stars twinkled above her, anticipated for the moment of action to come.
"Sometimes I wish I could dial up a Stargate and just go explore the galaxy. You know, Armstone?"
The spell matrix was almost complete, and she could feel the anticipation building within her. She was so close, and yet so far, from finally escaping and returning to the world of livings.
"Yeah, I know we got that mirror, but come on! Comparing the real thing to a bootleg Stargate that opens to a bootleg Barbie world? Blasphemy!"
The sound of rock being carved out filled the air as Nightmare Moon meticulously worked on her creation, her horn glowing brightly as she etched out each intricate line and curve. She had been working on the spell for what felt like years, but time was a difficult concept to grasp on the moon.
"You know, Armstone, sometimes I feel like I'm stuck in a movie. Like that one guy who is stranded on a Mars and he have to survive against all odds and get back to Earth. What was it called again? Is it Event Horizon?"
Armstone remained silent, but Nightmare Moon could almost feel his reassuring presence, somehow.
"You're the only one who understands me on this godforsaken rock." she said, smile fondly.
She continued to carve out the spell, occasionally stopping to chat with Armstone about random things that came to her mind. "Did you see that episode of Star Trek where they went back in time to the moon landing? Whoever came up with that must be high as moon!" she laughed, nuzzling Armstone with her muzzle.
Armstone, of course, remained silent, but Nightmare Moon didn't mind. She liked to banter with her friend, even if it is one-sided. It helped her stay sane in her isolation.
The hayburgur chain restaurant in Canterlot was bustling with ponies of all kinds, chattering and munching on their food. Twilight Sparkle sat opposite her foalsister, Princess Cadance, and her brother, Captain Shining Armor. Shining Armor was shoveling food into his mouth with wild abandon, while Cadance and Twilight chatted about their random stuffs.
Twilight noticed that Cadance kept glancing over at Shining Armor with a soft smile on her face. It wasn't until Shining Armor's posture stiffened and he nodded to her that Cadance revealed the reason for her admiring gaze.
"Actually, Twilight," Cadance said, blushing slightly. "Shining Armor and I are in a relationship. We're planning on getting married soon."
Twilight nearly choked on her hayburgur. "What?! You two are dating? When did this happen?"
Shining Armor paused in his eating, looking sheepishly at his sister. "Yeah, Twily, we've been together for a while now. I was waiting for the right time to tell you."
Twilight shook her head in disbelief. "I can't believe my big brother is going to be a prince! You're so lucky, Shining Armor."
Shining Armor chuckled, still wary a little. "I don't know about that. Cadance is the lucky one for putting up with me."
Cadance rolled her eyes. "Don't be silly, Shining. I'm the lucky one for having you."
Twilight smiled at the loving couple. "Well, I'm happy for you two. Just don't forget about your little sister when you're living in your palace."
Shining Armor grinned. "Don't worry, Twily. We'll always make time for you." Completely relaxed his guard and continued shoveling down his food.
Twilight turned to her foalsister, Cadance, and whispered, "So, Cadance, is my big brother good in bed?" She smirked mischievously as she watched Shining Armor choke on his food.
Cadance's eyes widened in surprise, but then she giggled and leaned closer to Twilight. "Oh, Twilight, you know I can't answer that. A lady never tells."
Shining Armor recovered from coughing and shook his head, looking both embarrassed and amused. "Oh, come on, you two. Can we please talk about something else?"
Twilight and Cadance exchanged a knowing glance before turning back to Shining Armor. "What's the matter, Shining?" Twilight teased. "Feeling a little uncomfortable?"
Shining Armor let out a long sigh and shook his head. "I swear, the Princess is corrupting both of you." He shook his head in disbelief.
Twilight couldn't help but giggle at her brother's words. "Oh, come on, Shining. You know she just wants to keep us on our hooves."
As they finished up their meal, a letter suddenly materialized in front of Twilight. She groaned as she read the contents, shaking her head in frustration.
"What is it, Twilight?" Cadance asked, concern etched on her face.
"It's from Princess Celestia," Twilight replied. "She doesn't believe the warning about the possibility return of an ancient threat and is ordering me to go to Ponyville to oversee this year's Summer Sun Celebration."
Shining Armor looks outside and deep in thought for a moment, then his expression suddenly turned serious. "The training of the Royal Guard has increased significantly in the last couple of months, and there have been rumors of unrest in barrack..."
Cadance sipped her Carbonated black tea, set the cup down on the table, her gaze meeting Twilight's. "I heard about that too," she said softly. "It seems like there's a lot of unrest brewing in Equestria, and not just in the Royal Guard."
An uncomfortable silence filled the air, and Twilight could feel the weight of their words hanging heavily over her. She knew that the situation was more serious than they were letting on. Shits were going to hit the fan, as her classmate had said.
Twilight lost in thought. She had overheard some discussions among castle servants and nobles about giving more power to local governments to make cities less reliant on Canterlot. It was a radical idea that faced many frictions, one that was spearheaded by Princess of the sun herself.
Suddenly, Twilight let out a deep sigh and spoke up. "I have to talk to Spike and prepare for travel," she said, standing up from the table.
As she walked out of the restaurant, Twilight's heart was filled with uncertainty. Her mentor believes that everything will be fine. She has done this kind of things for centuries already. There's nothing to fear, right?
So idk if it's intentional but twilight called shining her little brother and shining called twilight his little sister. So which are you going for or are there 2 twilights?

first one is an error, thank for notified me.
the second one, twilight is talking about herself in third person.
A great chapter! A bit sad but expected to see Nightmare a bit loony. I can't wait to see how she will arrive and how everypony is going to react. Especially Celestia!
11558463
Nightmare Moon: “finally I AM FREE. Now let’s see “
Looks around see Celestia in battle armor and the Royal Guards.
Nightmare Moon: “Nope I’m out”
Princess Celestia: “wut”
(Maybe)
Can’t wait for the next update
It begins to seem to me that the person who moved into Luna / Nightmare Moon is no longer there either. And the presence of a human was added solely so that the current Nightmare / Luna / Human, in addition to the madness from isolation, had knowledge of the cultural and fantastic works of the Human world.
I can’t wait to see Celestia’s reaction to this new Nightmare Moon.
Nightmare Moon is trying to escape early by reversing the banishment spell, but according to Twilight the 1000 years Summer Sun Celebration is right about to happen anyway.
It sounds like NMM is putting in a lot of effort for nothing.
11558583
TBF most HiE is either that kind of story or autofellatio.
I want to know his Plans?
Like is he gonna live a peaceful life and Bring Human Entertainment to Equestria but Ponyfien them?
What is he gonna do ones he's Free?
How would the characters react when she decides to not be Evil?
Mutant Chronicles is hit or miss but then again I saw a version with scenes that weren't even in the directors cut including a very grim ending(had a friend who'd show us movies before they hit theatres, in one occasion we saw a movie years before it was released).
Also the the Adeptus Arbites were completely based off of Judge Dredd from how they function to even their uniform so the newer movie with Karl Urban counts.
There is actually a decent amount of good 40k movies if you know the different source materials, major events, and concepts of the setting.
typo ?
Event Horizon really is the only good Warhamer movie and I do not know how to feel about that
11569935
Should you really count that judge Dred as a 40k movie?
It’s inspired from, not actually part of the IP you know?
I sure as helll don’t count spaceball as a starwars movie, nor the orville as a startrek series.
11576098
These 2-3 first chapters have lot of typo I assured you. Should i kept it as is as a deterrent to perfectionists, a way to lower reader’s expectations to manageable level? Or just fix it? that I do not make the decision yet.
Because Starfleet starships use inertial dampening. It both softens blows from enemy ships (despite what the frequent ship-shaking might suggest) and makes sure that when they jerk into high speed or jerk into lower speed, they don't instantly atomize. Seat belts would do nothing in the face of that. If your inertial dampeners aren't working, you're dead anyway. This is brought up a few times; for example late into DS9 they find a crashed Jem'Hadar ship, which crashed because its inertial dampeners failed, turning the crew into atomized paste the moment the ship jumped to impulse/warp speed.
Wtf
11576783
Typo, thank
11576783
Space ships in star trek are based on submarines.
Submarine's internal space is cramped and have place to hold onto, and If something hit you hard enough to roll over, it would likely punched a hole though the ship and you're already dead man by then.
Startrek’s ship design is different. Giant luxury rooms and are capable of withstanding the most severed of attacks. Having safety belts in the bridge would reduce injuries from flopping around in an open room, and also locked operators to their consoles when the room was shaken from an attack, making the ship's overall response time shorter.
DS9 is just trying to justify original's and somehow make it worse. Just like when the jajabing starwars says that the force is some kind of micro organism.
A family crisis averted, still much better than letting her know from an invitation letter on the Wedding day.
Interesting, Twi is indeed aware of Shining's betrothal? Nifty.
I'm going to write this before I read further. It's probably not the case but, I hope, with how Nightmare was talking to her friend NEET Armstrong, I hope her return entrance is like the Theme Song Guy from Emperors New Groove. I don't know why, but it would be so perfect!
"nothing to fear"

Thank you
I wonder if Celestia will follow the idiotic retirement plan at the end or do the sensible thing:
Take her vacation time in one go...
How many vacation days when one works for 1000 years... probably a decade or a century?

As someone who jumped out of the fandom halfway, and didn't even manage to finish those last seasons.
I assured you I wouldn't put you though that.
She liked to banter with her friend, even if it is one-sided. It helped her stay sane in her isolation.
Not one human has ever survived 1 year of complete isolation. The lack of interaction with other's deteriorates the brain. Thing's that keep you busy and pets can slow the process but not stop it. It might not be the author's intention but the pet rock was a neet idea that would actually help Moon keep a hold of some of there sanity but this would only be temporary
11745101
Looking back, I have a big misgiving when it came to how they delt with Luna... and pretty much every villians.
On a different note it's really weird to see the main character go by she/her. Unless the character was originally trans, it would make far more sense to go by he/him (if he has always seen himself as a guy then body change or not that's what he'd go by, otherwise the amount of gender dysphoria would be insane lol).
11767995
I want to use genderless pronouns but english being english…
And using plural pronouns like they/them rubbed me a wrong way. Like 2 times worst than the sound of chalk on blackboard.
11768246
I don’t know if this is actually a thing or just another one of those weird internet things, but maybe try Muxter abbreviated Mx. I read that that was a gender-neutral title as opposed to Mr, Ms, and Mrs.
I had just spent an hour writing some suggestions on how to improve the phrasing in Chapter 1 before I accidentally hit the back button and erased everything.
I'll probably be back later to rewrite it all after taking a break; for now, I'll just say there are a lot of inconsistencies with the wording in this chapter.
11779724
holy molly spend an hour
This chapter is like 1.5 k long. Does it have that much problem?
And here's a trick. If you want to write a long comment, then do it in notepad or something first.
What. When. Why.
You changed the plot for no reason, forcing Cadence and Shining to plan a wedding at least a year before the canon.
Is Twilight now a "bad girl" who has no problem making jokes about bed topics? Okay, after the moment with the disclosure of their offsets... I'm not even too surprised.
For some reason, every second author considers it his duty to add silly jokes based on embarrassment and awkward situations to his story. Personally, it annoys me more.
П.с. Пусть главный герой не превратится в очередной предмет насмешек, пожалуйста...
