My little ponies... will NOT be slaves!" >She charged at you, her horn glowing madly. >Screaming bloody murder, you move to meet her half way. >There is a copy of her spell, between the palms of your hands. >Just a few seconds later, Ponyville ceased to exist. >It looked like somebody/pony dropped a tactical nuke on it. >Everything was... STOP! >STOP THIS ALREADY! >Why are you doing this to yourself! >You were lying in bed. >Your head was on the pillow. >You were watching the ceiling in your small room. >There was a fuckton of thoughts, milling about in your head. >All related to tomorrow's meeting with Celestia. >Here's your famous mood swings! >Nightmare must have the feast of her life right now. >At least she's quiet right now. >You should go to sleep. >You should be rested tomorrow. >Maybe your dreams will give you some comfort. >LIKE HELL THEY WILL! >As soon as you drifted off to the land of dreams you were attacked with nightmares. >And no, that wasn't little versions of your head's tenant. >Those were the visions of all, of the worst shit from your world. >Genocide, poverty, greed, war, fanaticism, pollution. >Name your poison. >All kinds of people were suffering and dying right in front of you. >You were fucking covered in blood, sweat, and all kind of chemical shit. >You were likely yelling in your sleep right now. >Suddenly, you were pulled out of your dream. >You were still asleep alright. >But in this moment, you were standing in some dark and empty place. >Catching your breath after monstrosities you just watched. >What the flying fuck was that! >That sure marked '10' on your Wierd-shit-o-meter! >At least you're clean now. >~"I must say, that was unusual sight."~ >You heard Nightmare inside and outside your head, at the same time. >There was tapping sounds in front of you. >Nightmare Moon came out of the blackness. >She looked exactly the same, as the day you saw her for the first time. >Except she was more 'solid'. >She teleported you here somehow. >Question is how can you hear or see her like that!? >Something tells you, that in your normal dreaming routine, she can do that crap to you with ease. >It just happen this is your first one, after becoming her "host" or rather prison. >All the other times you were unconscious, not dreaming. >Nightmare took the royal poze. >~"That there, must be one of the reasons I couldn't control you from the start. What I could've shown you for your disobedience, didn't even compare to THAT!"~ >She approaches you. >~"How can you lived through all that, and not went MAD! That's fascinating!"~ >You really don't know if you actually lived through all that. >Your best guess was that you watched most of this shit on the internet or television. >Probably some of this didn't even happened in real live. >Only in some crazy action-adventure-cooking movie.[spoiler]Or hardcore porn[/spoiler] >You can feel her questioning gaze on you. >She mustn't know. >'Lie your ass off' mode activated. ~"I shrug it off. You see we humans are just born durable like that. My world is very dangerous and wicked place. Some even say that it is hell of another planet."~ >That feeling when most of this is true. >Maybe except the two first 'facts'. >~"LIES! The part about your world is believable. Those visions didn't appeared out of nowhere. The part about your indifference or high endurance of your kind in default, are false!"~ >TFW you are talking with a living lie detector. >She was at least kind enough to not mention your screaming through the whole dream. >~"That is good. If you are capable of speaking with lies in MY presence, that means there is some future for you after all."~ >That made you angry. ~"Shut up! You won't use me like some fucking puppet! You won't brainwash me with your fancy words!"~ >She started to walk in circles around you. >Laughing. >~"YES! Get angry! Get MAD! I will have a use for that kind of behavior tomorrow! You just need one slip up in front of this perfectionist hag!"~ >She got close to you. >You could feel her eternal breath on your skin. >Did everything turn hot in here? >~"She will corner you with her questions. Judge you unworthy! Then You will have no choice but to take my offer, and torn her piece by piece!"~ >More laughing. >That got you thinking. >She is right. >You will be a nervous wreck tomorrow. >She will probably work on making you look like crazed animal from the morning. >You will be like a bomb with "blast off" button to her. >And you know what? >You didn't like that. >NOT. >ONE. >BIT. >Turning on your heel, you backhand her in the snout with all your might. >Like a golden pimp you are! >~"WHA...!"~ >Not waiting for the rest of it, you slap her with your other hand. >You hit her with your open palm, not closed fist. >Oh, you gentleman you! >Her eyes are very wide now. ~"How do you like to be on the receiving end of my anger, for once!?"~ >You rise your hand again. ~"Not so funny now eh!?"~ >'Nightmare Moon used tackle'. >With her head. >Few inches to the left, and you would made a martini olive career. >Anyway, can you die in your dreams? >Falling down on your ass, you think you don't want to find out so soon. >Great, your nose was bleeding. >Nightmare didn't mind that. >She is too busy trying to stomp you to the ground. >~"YOU INSOLENT FOOL! HOW DARE YOU TO HIT YOUR QUEEN! IS YOUR LIVE HAVE ANY MEANING TO YOU AT ALL!"~ >Being beaten you catch on one thing. >She isn't using her magic. >Maybe beyond this 'mumbo-jumbo' teleport she can't? >After all you are inside your mind, and just maybe, you can use it to your advantage. >However, it will be hard to check, being beaten to a pulp and all. >Also you start to lose your conscious a little, in a dream. >HA! >Who knew. >With a grunt, you quickly bend your body and inflict a double kick at her. >That threw her off you. >Now you can focus. >You need to immobilise her, and you just know how. >You picture in your mind, that the ground beneath her is made form some kind of a really thick glue. >It fuken worked! >She is sinking in it a little. >She start to fight like mad. >Too late. >Beyond her head and wings, she's defenceless now. >~"DO YOU REALLY THINK YOU WON?! COME HERE I WILL BITE YOUR FACE OFF!"~ >However her attitude didn't change. >Think Anon, think! >You can play with her like that, and everything will be the same. >Aggression towards each other, will only bring more of it. >And you know how the saying goes. >'Problems cannot be solved on the same level of thinking that created them.' >Albert Einstein ladies and gentlemen! >Comon Anon be a better man here! >You approched her quickly. >Fast enough to thwart her attempts on biting you. >AND HUGGED THE SHIT OUT OF HER. >She was trying to free herself up, at the beginning. >Probably thinking you want to choke her. >But calmed moment after you started to pet her mane. >It was like putting your hand in some mountain spring water. >~"WHA... WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? HOW DARE YOU TO TOUCH ROYAL MANE!"~ >You were trying to make your voice soothing. ~"Please be silent for a while, just do this please."~ >She wanted to say something. >You hugged her harder. >She remained silent. >What you didn't know, is that she had mad rosy blush on her cheeks. >Still petting her mane, you try your luck. ~"You asked me did my live have any meaning to me. It does greatly. Do you want this or not, you are a part of it now. It would be superb, If we both can share it in happiness. But to do this, we must live. If you try and force me tomorrow to attack Celestia we probably won't for much longer."~ >You stopped petting her. ~"Please be reasonable your highness. If not tomorrow, I bet there will be other chances to bring Celestia to her knees. After all we live at her pupils house for now."~ >She was breathing very hard. >When she talked she sounded... confused? >"I... I will t.. think about it. YES I WILL THINK ABOUT IT! F.. for now however, we must regenerate our strength, before tomorrow's meeting. I bid you good night!" >Before you can react, you were drifting into dreaming again. >This time you think you will have some nice dreams for once. >Before closing your mind's eyes, you decide that maybe tomorrow won't be such a bad day after all. >You are Nightmare Moon. >And you can't sleep. >Before being send back to his dreaming, Anon was sure, he had tamed your anger against this sun floozy! >Laughable! >You bend others to your will, not the other way around! >However, you have to admit something. >His methods to convince you, were unusual. >Over a thousand years you were being feared to, begged to, cursed at, beaten, and finally banished. >But never cared for! >While this greedy sun hussy, had basked in your subjects favor, no pony cared for you or your beautiful night! >You were a nuisance. >Necessity at best! >You knew of course, that Anon mostly begged for his live. >Still, under the facade of cowardice was something else. >He cared for your live also. >He wanted for you to be... happy and content. >How DARE he! You don't need anypony's pity! >But on the other hoof... it was nice. >Its like he knew, that in your current state you were in no state to crush Celestia into a fine powder. >He didn't want for you to be disappointed, defeated and miserable. >You had your fine share of that, during your thousand years of banishment. >It seems he was a better choice for a host, than you was giving him credit for. >Except that 'not in full control' part. >However nopony knew, that at the beginning it was the same with that betrayer Luna. >When you gloriously emerged out from her subconsciousness, you were in no control over her actions. >Powered by her strong negative feelings, you grew in strength. >Then you started to whisper to her. >Some small talk at first. >Sweet nothings that she wanted to hear. >Then something more significant. >About taking the maters in her hooves. >That she should fight for her royal worship! >That only you knew what was best for her, and only you could gave her enough power to beat her/your sister! >It was only then, she gave you full control. >Compared to Anons approach, she used you like a tool! >She was a WEAKLING! >She needed an excuse to act, to feel! >Thats what you were to her, a BUCKING EXCUSE! >In contrast to Anon, she didn't care what would happen to you after defeat. >She just wanted to use you for her own benefit! >Anon was diffrent. >He is his own pon... man! >Because of that, he takes full responsibility for his actions! >When it gets tough, he does not escape into being miserable. >He doesn't start to look for somepony to fight his own battles. >You were not a 'lifebuoy' for him, his actions in the dreamscape proved it. >He was similar to you in that! >He looked at you as somepony he can cooperate with. >He cared enough to try to change your opinion, not only in his favor, but yours as well. >He thought you were just as important as him! >The NERVE of him! >You were not EQUALS! >But still... NO! >It isn't so easy to win YOUR favor! >A few sweet words and a... a HUG won't do it! >... >No matter now. >You have to sleep. >Your power was growing, but it wasn't enough to compete with the best out there. >You could be rested at least. >Who knows what tomorrow will bring.
