//------------------------------// // Episode 6: The Mare in The Moon Part 1: Friendship is Magic arc Part 6 // Story: My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic With Reiner and Bertholdt Season 1 // by TheUnknownPhantom5 //------------------------------// Once upon a time, in the magical land of Equestria. there were two regal sisters who ruled together and created harmony for all the land. To do this, the eldest used her unicorn powers to raise the sun at dawn; the younger brought out the moon to begin the night. Thus, the two sisters maintained balance for their kingdom and their subjects, all the different types of ponies. But as time went on, the younger sister became resentful. The ponies relished and played in the day her elder sister brought forth, but shunned and slept through her beautiful night. One fateful day, the younger unicorn refused to lower the moon to make way for the dawn. The elder sister tried to reason with her, but the bitterness in the young one's heart had transformed her into a wicked mare of darkness: Nightmare Moon. She vowed that she would shroud the land in eternal night. Reluctantly, the elder sister harnessed the most powerful magic known to ponydom: the Elements of Harmony. Using the magic of the Elements of Harmony, she defeated her younger sister, and banished her permanently in the moon. The elder sister took on responsibility for both... sun and moon. A young purple unicorn sat under a tree reading a book about the legend of nightmare moon. "and harmony has been maintained in Equestria for generations since". Hmmm, elementes of harmony. I know I've heared of those before... But where? Twilight Sparkle ran back to her house, as she was crossing over a bridge she trotted by three of her old classmates from Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns. A school in which Twilight was the top student "There you are, Twilight! Moon Dancer is having a little get-together in the west castle courtyard. You wanna come"? "Oh sorry girls...... I've got a lot of studying to catch up on". The three unicorns looked at her in dissapointment before trotting off "Does that pony do anything except study? I think she's more interested in books than friends". Twilight kept running while thinking to herself "I know I've heard of the Elements of Harmony". Twilight ran up to her room and burst open the door. "Spike"! "Spi-ike"! "Spike"? Spike, a baby dragon groaned as he got up after being knocked out by the Twilight bursting through the door. "There you are. Quick, find me that old copy of Predictions and Prophecies" Twilight noticed a small gift box in Spikes claws that had now been destroyed. "What's that for" Spike looked down and sighed "Well it was a gift for Moon Dancer but...." Twilight was not amused by Spike's actions with this whole party thing. "Oh Spike you know we don't have time for that sort of thing." Spike looked at Twilight in shock, he never understood why she was always so focused on Studying. "But we're on a break" Twilight however wasn't listening as she was to busy levitating books in order to find the one she was looking for "No, no, no... no, no, no"! She became increbibley frustrated at not being able to find the book. "Spike"! "It's over here!" Spike called after having found it on another shelf. Twilight praictly dragged Spike over to her and took the book. "Ah Elements, Elements E, E, E... Aha! Elements of Harmony, see: Mare in the Moon? Spike looke up in confusion as to what Twilight referanced. "Mare in the moon? But that's just an old ponies tale" Again Twilight wasn't listening to what Spike had to say, as she was too focused on reading the Mare in the Moon entry in the book. "Mare, mare... aha! The Mare in the Moon, myth from olden pony times. A powerful pony who wanted to rule Equestria, defeated by the Elements of Harmony and imprisoned in the moon. Legend has it that on the longest day of the thousandth year, the stars will aid in her escape, and she will bring about nighttime eternal! Spike! Do you know what this means"? "No- WHOA" Spike fell off of the ladder he was on, fourtently Twilight manged to catch him before he hit the ground. "Take a note please, to the Princess" "Okie Dokie." Twilight knew that her teacher and mentor Princess Celestia needed to know about what she discoverd. she began resiting the things she wanted Spike to write in the letter (進撃pf20130218巨人 plays) "My dearest teacher, my continuing studies of pony magic have led me to discover that we are on the precipice of disaster! Before Twilight could contiue however Spike interuptted her because he was having trobule spelling the word she had just said to him. "Hold on. Preci... preci..." Twilight decieded to use a different word insted. "Threshold" Spike however was still confused. "Threh..... Thinking of what else to use Twilight came up with the easiest word she could think of. "Uh, brink? that something really bad is about to happen! For you see, the mythical Mare in the Moon is in fact Nightmare Moon, and she's about to return to Equestria, and bring with her eternal night! Something must be done to make sure this terrible prophecy does not come true. I await your quick response. Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle." Spike just finshed writing down Twilight's name "Twi... light Spar... kle. Got it"! Twilight's eyes lit up in delight. "Great! Send it"! Spike gave her a confused look. "Now?" "Of course!" Twilight replied. Spike however was still hesitating to send the letter to the princess. "Uh, I dunno, Twilight, Princess Celestia's a little busy getting ready for the Summer Sun Celebration. And it's like, the day after tomorrow". However that only gave Twilight more of a reason to send the letter right away "That's just it, Spike. The day after tomorrow is the thousandth year of the Summer Sun Celebration! It's imperative that the Princess is told right away"! Again Spike was confused by the word Twilight had said "Impera... impera. "Important"! Twilight exclamied. Twilight rushed foward causing Spike to fall off her back "Whoa! Okay, okay"! Spike then used his fire breath to send the letter to Celestia. "There it's on its way. But I wouldn't hold your breath"... Twilight however was unfazed by Spike's concern "Oh, I'm not worried, Spike. The Princess trusts me completely. In all the years she's been my mentor she's never once doubted me." Almost imedidedtly Spike belched up a response letter from the princess Spike cleared his throat and began to read the letter "My deareast most faithful student Twilight, You know that I value your diligence and that I trust you completely". Twilight smiled in deilght as Spike contiued reading but you simply must stop reading those dusty old books! This caused Twilight to gasp in shock Twilight and Spike were on a carage heading towards the town of Ponyvile as Spike contiued to read what Celestia had tasked for Twilight. "My dear Twilight, there is more to a young pony's life than studying, so I'm sending you to supervise the preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration in this year's location: Ponyville. And, I have an even more essential task for you to complete: make some friends"! That last statment made Twilight groan in disgust. Spike however tried to cheer her up. "Look on the bright side, Twilight. The Princess arranged for you to stay in a library. Doesn't that make you happy"? That did cheer Twilight up. "Yes, yes it does. You know why? Because I'm right! I'll check on the preparations as fast as I can, then get to the library to find some proof of Nightmare Moon's return. " "And then will you make friends?" Spike asked. Twilight however had no intentions on doing so and she made sure to make that clear to her dragon assisant. " She said to check on preparations. I am her student, and I'll do my royal duty, but the fate of Equestria does not rest on me making friends. " The carage landed in the center of town as Twilight and Spike got off "Thank you sirs". Spike looked around the town eager to meet the ponies of the town. he then noticed Pinke Pie walking up to them, 'Maybe the ponies in Ponyville have interesting things to talk about. Come on, Twilight, just try"! Twilight relecutantly agreed to try and talk to the pink earth pony "Um.........Hello" Pinkie Pie however only gasped and ran off leaving both Twilight and Spike very confused. "Well, that was interesting alright." Spike sighed in defeat The two of them made their way to their first stop, Sweet Apple Acres, as Spike was reading off the checklist Celestia gave them. "Summer Sun Celebration official overseer's checklist. Number one, banquet preparations: Sweet Apple Acres. " "Yee Haw"! Twilight and Spike saw Applejack running up to a tree and bucking it with her back hooves. Twilight sighed. "Let's get this over with" She walked up to the earth pony. " Good afternoon. My name is Twilight Sparkle—" Applejack took Twilight's hoove and began to shake it extremaly fast. " Well, howdy-doo, Miss Twilight, a pleasure makin' your acquaintance. I'm Applejack. We here at Sweet Apple Acres sure do like makin' new friends! " "Friends? Well actually". Twilight began only for Applejack to interupt her "So, what can I do you for"? Spike snickered at the conversation. Twilght cleared her throat and explained to Applejack the reason she was there "Well, I am in fact here to supervise preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration. And you're in charge of the food? " "We sure as surgar are! Would you care for a sample? Applejack asked. "As long as it doesn't take to long." Twilight responed. Applejack then ran over to a tringale and began to ring it "Soup's on Every Pony"! Almost immeideltly Twilight and Spike we're surronded by a bunch over other ponies "Now, why don't I introduce y'all to the Apple family"? "Thanks, but I really need to hurry" Twilight began only to again be intterupted by Applejack. "This here's Apple Fritter. Apple Bumpkin. Red Gala. Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Caramel Apple, Apple Strudel, Apple Tart, Baked Apples, Apple Brioche, Apple Cinnamon Crisp... Big McIntosh, Apple Bloom and Granny Smith. Up'n'attem, Granny Smith, we got guests". The elderly earth pony woke up and walked up to the table. "Wha..? Soup's on? I'm up, here I come, ahm comin"'... Applejack smiled at Twilight and Spike. "Why'd I'd say you're already part of the family." That statment caused Twilight to spit out the food she was basicaly force fed "Okay, well, I can see the food situation is handled, so we'll be on our way" "Aren't you gonna stay for brunch"? Apple Bloom asked with pleading eyes "Oh god she's adorable"! Both Twilight and Spike thought in their heads. Twilight felt bad for the little filly, but she needed to complete her task, however Twilight then noticed something about Apple Bloom. "You, have Amber Eyes". Apple Bloom gave Twilight a confused look, of course she knew her eyes were amber, but that really didn't seem to matter to her, or anyone. "What do you mean"? Asked Apple Bloom. "Oh uh, nothing Twilight replied. She continued to stare at Apple Bloom for a bit. "This filly. She's so pretty". Twilight thought to herself before finally speaking again. "Alright, will stay". Apple Bloom beamed with pure delight, but Twilight's statment lingered in the back of her head. After her meeting with the Apple Family Twilight and Spike we're now walking in town to check on the weather. Spike read what the list said "Food's all taken care of, next is weather". Twilight groaned in pain after eating the food. "Ugh... I ate too much pie"... Spike however was too busy looking in the sky to listen to Twilight. "Hmm, there's supposed to be a Pegasus pony named Rainbow Dash clearing the clouds". Twilight looked up and saw that there we're still plenty of clouds up in the sky. "Well, she's not doing a very good job, is she"? As if on cue Rainbow Dash swooped by knocking Twilight into a mud puddle. "Uh, 'scuse me"? the pegasus replied. Twilight sighed Rainbow Dash laughed "Lemme help you". She went and grabbed a cloud, she then jumped on it causing it to rain on Twilight. Dash laughed again " Oops, I guess I overdid it. Um, uh, how about this?" Rainbow Dash spun around Twilight causing her mane to become rather poofy. "My very own patented Rain-Blow Dry! No no. Don't thank me. You're quite welcome". Both Rainbow Dash and Spike then bursted out laughing at Twilight's sitiouation, which Twilight didn't find funny one bit. "Let me guess. You're Rainbow Dash". " The one and only. Why, you heard of me"? asked the cyan colored pony. "I heard you were supposed to be keeping the sky clear. [sigh] I'm Twilight Sparkle, and the Princess sent me to check on the weather. " Rainbow Dash however ignored the unicorn. "Yeah, yeah, that'll be a snap. I'll do it in a jiffy. Just as soon as I'm done practicing. " Twilight become confused. "Practicing for what"? "The Wonderbolts! They're gonna perform at the Celebration tomorrow, and I'm gonna show 'em my stuff"! Rainbow Dash exclaimed exciedlty. "The" Wonderbolts'? Twilght asked. "Yep"! Rainbow Dash replied. The most talented flyers in all of Equestria? "That's them". Twilight scoffed. "Pfft! Please. They'd never accept a Pegasus who can't even keep the sky clear for one measly day". That statment caused Rainbow Dash to become a little offened. "Hey, I could clear this sky in ten seconds flat". Twilight smirked. "Prove it" Rainbow Dash shot up and began to kick away all the clouds in the sky. "Loop-de-loop around, and wham! What'd I say? Ten. Seconds. Flat. I'd never Ponyville hanging." Twilight was in shock which ammused Rainbow Dash. " You should see the look on your face. Ha! You're a laugh, Twilight Sparkle. I can't wait to hang out some more." "Wow, she's amazing" Spike Laughed. Twilight groaned again. Spike tried to cheer up by complemting her messed up hair. "Wait! It's kinda pretty once you get used to it"! Twilight and Spike headed into the Carousel Boitquie to check on the decarations for the celebration. "Decorations. Beautiful"... Twilight smiled in aggreement. "Yes, the décor is coming along nicely. This ought'a be quick. I'll be at the library in no time. Beautiful indeed". Spike however revealed that it wasn't the decorations he was talking about, it was the unicorn Rarity. "Not the décor, her"! Rarity was trying to decied on what draped to use for the party. "No, no, no, oh! Goodness no". Spike began to get nervous as he began to clear himself off. "How are my spines? Are they straight"? Twilight walked up again began to talk to the white unicorn. "Good afternoon— " Rarity however stopped Twilight before she could go any further "Just a moment, please! I'm 'in the zone', as it were. Oh, yes! Sparkle always does the trick, does it not? Why, Rarity, you are a talent. Now, um, how can I help yo"— Rarity gasped at the sight of Twilight's mane. "Oh my stars, darling! Whatever happened to your coiffure"?! Twilight looked confused before realizng what Rarity was talking about. "Oh, you mean my mane? Well, it's a long story. I'm just here to check on the decorations, and then I'll be out of your hair"! Rarity however was not satisfiyed with that ansewer. "Out of my hair? What about your hair?! Rarity began to forcibly drag Twilight into the back room. "Wait! Where are we going?! Help"! Inside the back room Rarity was having Twilight try on serveal dresses. "No, no, uh-uh. Too green. Too yellow. Too poofy. Not poofy enough. Too frilly. Too... shiny. Now go on, my dear. You were telling me where you're from". Twilight began to reply as the strap on her back was being stretched out, causing her a great deal of pain. " I've... been sent... from Canterlot... to—" Upon hearing Canterlot, Rarity gasped in delight. Canterlot?! Oh, I am so envious! The glamour, the sophistication! I have always dreamed of living there! I can't wait to hear all about it! We are gonna be the best of friends, you and I... Emeralds?! What was I thinking? Let me get you some rubies! Rarity ran off and Twilight took the opportunity to escape. "Quick! Before she decides to dye my coat a new color! " Spike sighed as they left. Outside Spike was talking about Rarity. "Wasn't she wonderful"? "Focus, Casanova. What's next on the list"? Twilight asked. Spike checked. "Lights"! he replied. The two of them walked up to a house. "The two stalions who are suppose to be in charge of the lights live here." Spike explained. Twilight sighed "Ok, let's get this over with." "What do you mean there not ready?! The Celebrations tonight! Bertholdt! Reiner! Reiner took a deep breath and spoke to Twilight. I'm sorry kid, but like I said, they're not ready yet. I promise you though we'll have them before the celebration. Reiner's words made Twilight feel a little better. Okay then. Come on Spike let's go. As they started to get up however, Bertholdt spoke up. "Hold on, you two are oringnaly from Canterlot right? "Yeah. that's right." Spike replied. "It must be hard, moving to a new town where you know next to know one, belive me I know what that feelings like." "Oh, where were you two from before moving here to ponyville?" Spike asked "Oh Reiner and I? We come from a small village up in the moutains in the far north." Twilight became confused. "Why did you leave your old home"? she asked. "It happend around dawn. The animals started to become anxious, and I kept hearing this strange noise. I soon realized it was the sound of Death getting closer and closer. I opened my window". A flashback shows Bertholdt staring at a hydra out his window. Spike gulped as Bertholdt contiued. "I. don't really remember much of what happened afterwards, I think every pony just panicked." Reiner put his hoof on Bertholdt's shoulder. "Hey, why are you going on about this?" "Sorry, what I'm trying to say, is that if you think about it, the four of us are pretty similar." Bertholdt Replied. "Hey." Said Reiner. "Sorry. Anyways come on, let's go get those lights." "Really"! Twilight exlcaimed. "Sure". Bertholdt smiled Reiner and Bertholdt took Twilight and Spike into a patch of woods behind their house. It was dar so they had to use lanterens in order to see where they we're going. "I've been told that ponyville is a place where differnt types of ponies go to make friends. I moved here looking for just that, friendship. The ponies in my old village would make fun of me for wanting to care about something like friendship" Bertholdt explained. Spike felt sorry for the pegasus and tried to cheer him up. "There's nothing wrong with wanting friendship Bertholdt, it's something every pony wants." "Is it? I'm going to return to the hometown we lost, that's all I care about now. I will do it, no matter what" Reiner responed. Bertholdt then looked back at Twilight. "What about you? Why did you move here?" "Well I'm mainly here to check on things for the summer sun celebration, but......." (Heartbeat Plays) Twilight looked down, hesitating to answer, but she decied she had too. "I belive that the mare in the moon is the evil Nightmare Moon, and tommorow she'll escape from the moon and plunge Equestria into eternal night, So I've been studying the Elements of Harmony as they are the only things that could stop her." Reiner and Bertholdt looked back at Twilight. Reiner then spoke up "So you think that tommorow Nightmare Moon will return right?" "Yeah, and if she does Equestria is doomed!" Twilight responed. The four of them stopped on the edge of a ledge, and Twilight looked out at the sight before her. It was the most beautiful thing she ever saw. Reiner then spoke again. "I doubt the legend is true, but if it is, and if Nightmare Moon does return, you'll find away to stop her. I know you will, I can see it in you. Twilight Sparkle, and Spike was it"? Twilight smiled at the unicorn stalion. "Yes. Thank you. Reiner Braun, and Bertholdt Hoover right?" Currently Publicly Available Information Summer Sun Celebration. A special holiday celebrated in Equestria to comenrate the defeat of Nightmare Moon. It is held in ponyville in the year 850, roughly two months after the Colossal Titan breached the gates of Trost District. Twilight and Spike were walking in the park. Twilight had a small smile on her face, unlike the other ponies she's met so far she was plesently suprised by how calm Reiner and Bertholdt were. she looke at Spike who had the list in his claws. "Ok Spike, what's last"? Spike looked at the list. "Music." The two of them then heared some birds singing, and saw Fluttershy conducting a bird chior for the celebration. She soon however stopped as a blujay was singing off key "Oh my. Um, stop please, everyone, umm. Excuse me, sir? I mean no offense, but your rhythm is just a teeny-tiny bit off. Now, follow me, please. A-one, a-two, a-one two three- " "Hello!" Twilight called out. which caused Fluttershy to yelp in suprise, and the birds to fly away "Oh my, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to frighten your birds. I'm just here to check up on the music and it's sounding beautiful. I'm Twilight Sparkle. What's your name?" Fluttershy tried to introduce herself, but was too shy to. "Um... I'm Fluttershy". " I'm sorry, what was that?" "Um... My name is Fluttershy". "Didn't quite catch that". The birds soon returned and Twilight decieded it was time for her to get going. "Well, um, it looks like your birds are back, so I guess everything's in order. Keep up the good work!" Twilight went up to Spike who appeared from behind a bush. "Oookay. Well, that was easy". Fluttershy gasped in delight when she saw Spike however. "A baby dragon"! Fluttershy knocked Twilight out of the way to get a closer look at Spike. " Oh, I've never seen a baby dragon before. He's sooo cute!" Spike smiled in amusemnt. "Well, well, well...!" "Oh my, he talks. I didn't know dragons could talk. That's just so incredibly wonderful I, I just don't even know what to say!" Twilight then lifted Spike on to her back and began to walk away. "Well, in that case we'd better be going". Fluttershy however followed them. "Wait, wait! What's his name"? "I'm Spike." "Hi Spike. I'm Fluttershy. Wow, a talking dragon! And what do dragons talk about"? "Well, what do you wanna know"? he asked "Absolutely everything". This caused Twilight to once again groan in frustration " Well... I started out as a cute little purple and green egg..." The three of them kept on walking as Spike contiued telling his life story to Fluttershy. " ...and that's the story of my whole entire life! Well, up until today. Do you wanna hear about today"? "Oh, yes, please"! Fluttershy exclamied It was then Twilight quickly stopped infront of the door of the libriay she and Spike were stating at. "Gyah"! Spike yelped "I am so sorry, how did we get here so fast? This is where I'm staying while in Ponyville and my poor baby dragon needs his sleep". Spike become offened by that statment. " No I don't— whoa!" Twilight knocked Spike off of her back. "Aww, wook at dat, he's so sweepy he can't even keep his widdle bawance"! Fluttershy quickly picked up Spike. "Poor thing, you simply must get into bed"... She tried to go into the libiray only for Twilight to pull her back out. "Yes, yes, we'll get right on that. Well, g'night!" She then slammed the door in Fluttershy's face. Spike looked at Twilight dissaprovingly. "Huh. Rude much"? "Sorry, Spike, but I have to convince the Princess that Nightmare Moon is coming, and we're running out of time! I just need to be alone so I can study without a bunch of crazy ponies trying to make friends all the time. Now, where's the light"? As if on cue, the light flicked on and Twilight and Spike found themselves surroned by a bunch of random ponies. Pinkie Pie then hoped infront of Twilight's face. "Surprise! Hi, I'm Pinkie Pie, and I threw this party just for you! Were you surprised? Were ya? Were ya? Huh huh huh"? "Very suprised! Libraries are supposed to be quiet". said Twilight Pinkie Pie laughed at Twilight's statment. "Well, that's silly! What kind of welcome party would this be if it were quiet? I mean, duh, bo-ring! Y'see, I saw you when you first got here, remember? You were all "hello" and I was all [deep gasp], remember? Y'see I've never saw you before and if I've never saw you before that means you're new, 'cause I know everypony, and I mean everypony in Ponyville"! As Pinkie Pie said this, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Reiner, Bertholdt, and Fluttershy all appeared next to her. Twilight groaned again and walked over to grab what she assumed was punch as Pinkie Pie contiued talking "And if you're new, that meant you haven't met anyone yet, and if you haven't met anyone yet, you must not have any friends, and if you don't have any friends then you must be lonely, and that made me so sad, then I had an idea, and that's why I went [deep gasp]! I must throw a great big ginormous super-duper spectacular welcome party and invite everyone in Ponyville! See? And now you have lots and lots of friends! " Twilight then realised she had drank hot sauce and not punch, Applejack looked at her in concern. "Are you all right, sugarcube"? Twilight ran upstairs with tears in her eyes "Aww, she's so happy she's crying"! Spike looked at the lable of what Twilight drank. "Hot sauce". Pinkie Pie became confused "Ooh... What? It's good"! Reiner however felt worried for Twilight's well being, and decieded to check on her. In her room Twilight had her face burried in her pillow when she heared a knock an the door. "Come in" she said Reiner stepped in to the room. "Hey, are you okay"? No, I'm not. All the ponies in this town are crazy! Twilight gasped at what she just said. "Im so sorry I didn't mean" "It's ok." Reiner replied Twilight sighed. "Do you know what time it is"? "It's the eve of the Summer Sun Celebration. Everypony has to stay up, or they'll miss the Princess raise the sun. I see you wanna be alone, so I'll head back downstairs'. Reiner left and Twilight groaned again. "Ugh, here I thought I'd have time to learn about the Elements of Harmony but, silly me, all this ridiculous friend-making has kept me from it"! Twilight thought back to what she read in the book. Legend has it that on the longest day of the thousandth year, the stars will aid in her escape, and she will bring about everlasting night." She looked up at the moon. "I hope the Princess was right... I hope it really is just an old pony tale"... The door to her bedroom then opend again, this time it was Spike who came in. "C'mon, Twilight, it's time to watch the sunrise"! Outside Pinkie Pie was standing next to Twilight chattering away. "Isn't this exciting? Are you excited, 'cause I'm excited, I've never been so excited— well, except for the time that I saw you walking into town and I went [deep gasp] but I mean really, who can top that?" The Mayor of ponyvile then came up on the balcony where she was to introduce Princess Celestia. "Fillies and gentlecolts, as mayor of Ponyville, it is my great pleasure to announce the beginning of the Summer Sun Celebration"! The crowd began cheering as the Mayor continued. "In just a few moments, our town will witness the magic of the sunrise, and celebrate this, the longest day of the year! And now, it is my great honor to introduce to you the ruler of our land, the very pony who gives us the sun and the moon each and every day, the good, the wise, the bringer of harmony to all of Equestria"... Fluttershy looked at her birds. "Ready"? The Mayor spoke again. "...Princess Celestia"! However the princess wasn't there. "Huh"? exclaimed Rarity in confusion The crowd began to chatter in confusion "This can't be good" stated Twilight The Mayor tried to keep every pony calm. "Remain calm, everypony, there must be a reasonable explanation"! Pinkie Pie however was oblivious to what was happening. "Ooh, ooh, I love guessing games! Is she hiding?" "She's gone" Rarity exclaimed. The crowed gasped in shock, but Pinkie Pie Still Didn't understand what was going. "Ooh, she's good" Pinkie then gasped in shock when a dark colored alicorn suddendly appeared on the balcony, and was clear that she was not Princess Celestia. Twilght shrunk down in fear. "Oh no... Nightmare Moon"! Spike fanited. "So that's her" Reiner thought. Nighmare Moon chuckled in delight as she looked down at the cowering ponies. "Oh, my beloved subjects. It's been so long since I've seen your precious little sun-loving faces." Rainbow Dash became enraged. "What did you do with our Princess"?! She tried to rush at her only for Applejack to stop her. "Whoa there, Nelly"... Nightmare Moon chuckled at Rainbow Dash. "Why, am I not royal enough for you? Don't you know who I am"? "Ooh, ooh, more guessing games! Um, Hokey Smokes! How about... Queen Meanie! No! Black Snooty, Black Snooty"— Bertholdt covered Pinkie Pie's mouth with his hoof to get her to shut up. Nightmare became annoyed and began asking the crowd questions "Does my crown no longer count now that I have been imprisoned for a thousand years? Did you not recall the legend? Did you not see the signs"? Twilight Spoke up. "I did". "So did I"! stated Reiner. "And me"! Bertholdt repiled. You three? well then tell these others who I am. Twilight spoke again. "You're the Mare in the Moon – Nightmare Moon! The crowed gasped in shock. "Well well well, three ponies who remembers me. Then you also know why I'm here". Twilight began to say why Nightmare Moon was there. "You're here to... to"... Twilight however was unable to find the words she wanted to say. Fortunately Reiner was abel to finish what Twilight was trying to say. "You're here to plunge all of Equestria into etenral Night"! He exclaimed. Nightmare Moon smiled in delight at the holder of the Armored Titan. "Remember this day, little ponies, for it was your last. From this moment forth, the night will last forever! Preview Twilight's fears had come true, and now she and the others must venture into the Everfree Forest in order to find the Elements of Harmony and stop Nightmare Moon. Next Episode.
