Sunny Daze had to admit that, despite her doubtsm she was having fun. She remembered the reason that she had explained to Luna about why she made this disguise in the first place. Sometimes, even princesses needed a break, right?

 

It may all be over soon anyways, she thought dimly as she spun around. Why not enjoy life while it lasts, for once?

 

"Do you think you could go faster, Ice Blizzard?" she shouted over the rush of the wind.

 

-------

 

Inside the depths of the World of Shadows, Luna tossed and turned in a restless sleep. Usually, she didn't rest at night, but she needed time to sort out her feelings. Perhaps, come morning, she would know what she wanted.

 

...The glowering eyes that had been watching Night Tracer began to change. From them, a body began to form, filling from the outside in as if it were drawn into the air. When it was finished, the full form of an alicorn stood where the eyes had been. She was similar to Luna, but blacker than night, with no cutie mark. She dropped down behind Night Tracer, as silent as she wasn't there, but she spoke to him confidently and proudly.

 

"She's mine, you know."

 

-------

 

"He sure did. He was one of the better drinking buddies i've had, to be perfectly clear. Just wish he and what's his face hadn't gone and wrecked the place."

 

She finished sweeping up most of the floor. She went behind the counter, filling up a cup of water and placing it on a table, she motioned for the griffin to sit down.

 

"Still, I reckon it's not all his fault. Was plum stupid of me to get drunk with him; maybe I could've prevented at least some of this damage. Nah, I won't be pressing charges. Wouldn't do me any good anyway," she said, moving over to get a mop.

 

"So, uh... you seem awfully calm about this. You do this kind of thing often?" she asked, making small talk.

@Orion Caelum

A gray, neat cut stallion with a surprisingly short mane and tail walked up the streetways, checking the map he was reading. Let's see... if he was right, Professor Wilhelm's lab should be right...

 

He slammed directly into the door, falling backwards a little and dropping the map he was holding. He hurriedly picked himself up, putting on his best tough and importance, before knocking on the door

 

"Hello, Profesor Wilhelm?"

 

-------

 

Trixie lay in one of the many beds of the hospital wing, relaxing gently. She turned out not to have anything major broken, and the nurses were fast; she'd be out in a day. Still, she took the time to kick back, for once not having any plans, and for once feeling good about it. Tomorrow would be a good day.

@, 

Blizzard looked over his shoulder and heard Sunny's request, "Hehehe....no problem....and I'll do better than that..." He skated faster and began a trail of ice that led into the air. They weren't that high, only above the height of most buildings. From there however, Sunny could get a better view of everything around her, "How's this? Ya having fun yet? I was thinking next we could go see Rarity. She could make you something nice to wear when you go out like this. And after that, there's a nice little place where we can both ice skate. Your call though, where you wanna go first?" He said over the wind's noise.

@,

 

Night Tracer heard a booming voice behind him, he turned towards it; there, stood a coal black mare. She looked vicious but no more, she didn't seem vicious, she just seemed bold. She had referred to another "she" which he believed was Luna.

 

Night Tracer blinked, then asked perhaps the dumbest question of his life, "Are you meaning to tell me you're lesbian?" he asked absent mindedly, then quickly tried to recover, "Wait, No, that's not what i mean; well, yes, but not like lesbian as in, "oh look two mares making out" or "It's that boozy, dejected mare who ends up getting wasted and sent home on a cab to Taco Bell," but you know like the two respectable ones like, not, the plastic dykes that go into a store with spare bits and buy Four Loko but like they act like that. Like say if you didn't think they were Lesbian, because Les-be-honest," he made a pun to try lighten the mood, "you don't exactly look well, uh, like, lesbian...."

 

As he went on and on, the stupider and stupider he sounded and probably the more and more insulting. He then tried to fix his previous ramble of shear stupidity, "Listen, ok. Sorry for jumping to conclusions but you could of used more detail, I don't know but that's beside the point. She's no ones, unless she says she is." NT claimed.

 

"And if it's her call then with all due respect, it means there ain't no way in Tartaraus you make such a bold statement, and for you to do so is..." he couldn't find the word, so he decided to steer away from it. "Point being, you can't say that, yeah and who the hell am I to stand up and say this, well in the same sense, who the hell are you? She has the right to act and think for herself and as far as I know, she hasn't said Anything about you. Not a word. .. and for a curious stallion and a beautiful mare, I think that would of been the first thing to be addressed, but it wasn't. So I say this once more, Who the hell are you?"

 

Night Tracer looked straight into the eyes of Nightmare Moon, him not knowing who she was, of course. What he also didn't know is how stupid he was to stand up to such a powerful being like he did. Chances are, he would regret this in one way or another, later.

Kazas sat when Applejack had motioned for him to do so. Chuckling slighty with a look of reminiscence about him, he nodded as he spoke.

 

" Oh, you have no idea. Every day is a struggle, and for multiple reasons. But I'm not one to talk of woe. Life is too short for such. So, you say there was another one with Lorec? If I may inquire, who was with him?"

[Unicorncob 5,694]

She stood firmly and looked into Strix's eyes, but eventually she was to intimitated to continue so she broke the gaze. "So, we going to fight or not." she said as boldly as she could, still nervous on the inside. No pony knew why she was doing this, she hardly knew why, the best guess is; for so long she had been pushed around and treated as weak that she finally felt she had to do something about it. She may have been weak and helpless; she knew it to, she was ok with that, but to those who didn't know her, That's all she was known for, besides her care with animals.

 

But nopony said "Fluttershy the animal lover," or "Fluttershy the kind" they said, "Fluttershy the weak" and that bothered her, but of course she never said anything. Perhaps, today, she might show them she is more than they all thought. But first she'd have to convince herself...

 

Strix sighed through his nostrils and rolled his eyes. This pony was not stepping down, despite all his warnings.

He removed his belt and harness, dropping the sheath and holster attached to them to the ground. No weapons, like he agreed to. He was a bad griffon, but he was a griffon of his word.

 

He rolled his neck and stretched out his limbs to get prepared for the beatdown.

"Alright kid," he decided, warningly uncurling his fist to reveal his claws, "Your funeral."

 

Flapping his wings, he took to the air, inches from the ground, and sped toward the pegasus while reeling back his fist for a punch across the jaw.

@@Unicorncob,

 

Strix quickly approached a shivering Fluttershy. Fluttershy flinched and closed her eyes, leaving one barely open to peak; she was terrified. But she knew if she didn't act then she was going to get, hurt. 

 

"Please, tell me you did something more than hurt me..." she begged her non apparent father. Next, she opened her eyes wide, and exhaled; on the surface she looked calm and steady, not like the nervous wreck she was a custom to being. 

 

Right before Strix landed his punch, Fluttershy pushed his fist the opposite direction, killing his momentum. She jumped into the air, and atop of strix's back while using the same hoof she knocked his talons away with to pull his head upward. Then she kicked as hard as she could downward, by pulling Strix's toward herself and pushing away from her, she got the maxium power out of her kick and Strix would have to feel All of it....

Strix's eyes widened in surprise as Fluttershy deflected his punch, and flipped over him to pull his head upward and give him a harsh kick to the back, sending him dragging across the ground a few inches.

 

Where in Tartarus did that come from?!

 

"Huh," He muttered, still surprised, then looked up to the pegasus with a smirk, "Maybe this will be fun."

 

He sped up toward her and reeled back his fist, preparing to deliver a harsh punch, followed by grabbing her by the neck and swinging her into the dirt. An eye for an eye.

Fluttershy couldn't get loose of the griffon's tight grip in time to evade Strix's robust punch.  Strix had hit her and thrown her into the ground, "oof!" Fluttershy cried as she landed in the soil. She spit chunks of dirt out of her mouth and knocked dust out of her Mane before she stood back to her feet.

 

She continued to face away from Strix, stupidly, or so it would seem that way. 

 

Suddenly the ground below her fell from underneath her hooves and nothing but a deep whole remained. Fluttershy seemed to have vanished into the earth.

Strix smirked as his attack hit, and he flew back into the air once the pegasus was in the dirt.

He put up his fists, preparing for another attack, when the ground beneath Fluttershy's hooves seemed to give way beneath her and she disappeared into the earth.

Was he really that strong?

 

Either way, she seemed to have vanished from the fight.

"Well, so much for that," He muttered, folding his forelegs with a shrug.

[Not Yellow Diamond 925]

While strix was distracted a hole formed behind him and out burst Fluttershy, who jumped on Strix's back and threw him into the ground. He landed face first much like the first time; Fluttershy jumped atop Stix's back and grabbed one of his arms and pulled it back across his back and yanked on it. It was on the verge of breaking.

 

Fluttershy didn't loosen her grip but turned away from the currently, pitiful foe and looked back at the hole she popped out of and out came two moles. She smilied and saluted them and vise versa, then the moles quickly slipped back into the ground before Strix could see, his face still buried beneath the dirt.

Strix squawked as Fluttershy appeared from behind him and slammed him into the ground, yanking his foreleg behind him.

"Agh, you little-!" He snarled, and used a hindleg to kick himself onto his back to loosen Fluttershy's grip.

 

If things worked out, he could get free and plant a kick in her stomach.

@@Unicorncob,

 

Fluttershy felt a few nudges from Strix's hindlegs that she wasn't holding down. The kicks pestered her but Strix's just wasn't kicking hard enough to do anything. Fluttershy held her grip on Strix's arm, slowly, pushing it further and further. Then, she heard a loud pop. 

 

"oh no... it shouldn't of broken, I didn't push it far enough, or did I, oh dear!. I'm a monster. 

 

She quickly released her grip and pulled Strix's to his feet, using his opposite arm to life him. "Oh dear Celestia, I'm so sorry! Are you ok, it's not broken is it?" Fluttershy waited in suspense, she felt absolutley awful. "What have I done..."

The pop in Strix's foreleg was followed by a loud squawk of pain. It fell to the ground upon its release, and he could hardly move it upon getting up.

 

"Damn it," he growled, wincing as he tried flexing it, "I think it's broken."

 

He was wrong about Fluttershy; this kid definitely had it in her. He'd get back up and keep fighting, but a broken leg would really put him off balance. Plus, the mare didn't look ready to fight anymore.

 

Instead, he limped over to his harness and threw it over his shoulder. He looked over it to the pegasus.

"Not bad, kid," he smirked. He did respect anyone, pony or otherwise, who could defend themselves in a fight. Breaking his leg definitely counted as such.

You're injured and it's my fault, I've got to help you." She wailed. Fluttershy felt absolutley awful, she felt even worse about how she could ever let something like that happen, but it was more important that she tended to Strix first rather than her own issues.

What was with this pony? First she was shaking like a leaf, then she broke his leg, and now she's suddenly soiling herself because of it.

One thing was for sure; he didn't expect her to actually put up a fight.

 

"I'll give you this, squirt," He smirked, "You're not bad."

Wilhelm, at the knock on the door, carefully laid down the long-handled jeweler's forceps he had been using (strange clear crystal still clutched inside), pushed a pair of goggles up on his head (inadvertently screwing up his mane), and sedately walked to the door, edging past the lab table he had been working at, sword rack, and fencing dummy. Opening it, he smiled and said "Yes, that would be me. What do you need?"

The stallion nervously backed up as the door opened, but he tired to appear as steady as he could. He stuck the map into the large pack he was wearing and straightened his suit before addressing Wilhelm.

 

"Good evening, professor. My name is Dr.Mind, head of the Equestrian Society of Magical Advancement and Procurement. Do you have time to answer a question?"

The alicorn sighed while the pegasus all but lost his mind at the sight of her, It was too common a reaction among mortals. She caught the intent in his words however, and her eyes narrowed.

 

"You asked who I am? Perhaps this would open your eyes."

 

Her horn glowed, and inky black shadows surged around her, creeping up her skin. At key points on her body, they changed shape, form and color, becoming exquisite blue battle armor.

 

"I am the darkness in Luna's heart brought to life. The bringer of eternal night. My last battle with Solaris Invictus terrified ponies for centuries and shook Equestria to its very core. I am Nightmare Moon, the scourge of ponies everywhere... and I am tired," she finished, with a deep, heavy sigh. The armor dissipated with a flash.

"A small mare with a plucky attitude and an accent funnier n' mine, goes by the name of Tyra. There was also this yellow guy, Electron...Electron something or other. He's the one that wrecked my bar on the inside; I reckon your friend just saw fit to make sure the outside matched the inside."

 

She stopped for a second.

 

"I apologize, I didn't mean to make a joke out of all of this. It's just you gotta learn to laugh at life sometimes. Otherwise... ya know," she said with a quick shrug, before going back to her mopping.

"Let's see..." she began as she and Ice Blizzard spun around. "I want to go..."

 

Celestia suddenly shivered violently. She looked around in confusion, before turning back to Ice Blizzard.

"Yeah, let's go see Rarity." she responded, voice a lot flatter than before. While they moved, she looked around nervously.

Just for a second, what she thought she had felt... it couldn't be...?

@Corona de Adamas, 

 

Nightmare Moon..... Night Tracer knew the name all too well, he was surprised he didn't recognize her at first. He remembered reading about her when he was younger and a bit in university, but he remembered the tale of her that his mother told him every Nightmare Night.

 

 

Unlike many who feared Nightmare Moon, he sympathized with her, he actually admired her....just not her intentions. He had actually taken a lot time to analyze her in his Mother's stories. He had developed and understanding of her, or what he thought was an understanding. He knew what "rock bottom" felt like, he battled depression throughout his juvenile years: constantly, but somehow he overcame it. What if Nightmare were to be suffering the same thing he did, he pondered the possibility of it.

 

 

"Tired you say? As am I. What seems to be weighing you down, fatigue, don't answer that, you're darkness; I would assume darkness doesn't get tired, or at least physically," He kicked back and laid down, he looked up at the now stormy and cloudy sky and scoweled. No longer did the night shimmer, but it was dark, like the soul of Nightmare Moon. He turned to look at her, she was clearly deling with a lot, "So, What't the deal? What's on your mind... or consciousness... I was never one for biology anyway," he asked in a joking tone.

When they arrived at Rarity's door, he picked Sunny up, and placed her on the ground, "Hehe...sorry if it got a little too fast. But as I'm sure you know, Rarity's a wonderful designer with a TON of ideas. I'm sure she'll find something for you." He then knocked on Rarity's door and looked inside, "Rarity?! You there?!" He then looked in the window, and saw his mane was disheveled from the wind, "Ah! My hair! My hair! Oh no! Rarity doesn't like guys with messy hair!" He began to feverishly brush his mane back with his hooves to get it back to normal, "Sunny! Do I look ok? Am I fit to see Rarity? Oh man...." he said as he nervously shivered in place as he waited for Rarity.
