>You are Anonymous.
>At last in your own body.
>You're sitting on the bed in your house.
>Distressed like all hell.
>There is an onyx alicorn mare standing before you.
>She is a perfect picture of anger and surprise.
>"How, pray tell, Celestia found out about ME and everything else?!"
>Holy double coated, sparkling crap!
>You were thinking that you were fucked before?
>Guess again!
>What can you do to weasel out of this?!
>Maybe you can quickly change the subject?
"Erm... First, tell me where is Scootaloo? I can't see her anywhere."
>Still keeping her gaze on you, Nightmare pointed with her hoof at the window.
>"She is outside, involved in some imaginary crusade with those two other foals."
>Yes, it worked!
>"Before you ask, they didn't saw ME and Scootaloo is in good health. I gave her some bits, so she could feed herself in town."
>She squinted her eyes dangerously.
>"Now, I want an ANSWER for my question! That HAG can be here with her whole army, at any moment and I want to know who to BLAME!"
>No, it didn't worked!
>There is no use in lying to her.
>You bent your head down in defeat.
"Me... you can blame me."
>She was seething with rage now.
>"Y-YOU?! YOU TOLD HER?!"
>She had murder in her eyes.
>You raised your hand.
"No, I didn't told her. Believe me or not, I was connected with her, just like I am with you. She saw everything in my mind."
>You sighed loudly.
"Actually, I caused it. Before we were separated, I was thinking about you and Scoots. I was happy to go back to my... family, because I missed you. I didn't know this would show her my memories about you. For what its worth, I'm sorry."
>You didn't asked for forgiveness.
>Why would you, it was your fault after all.
>Nightmare was shaking, probably from all the rage boiling up inside of her.
>"YOU BUCKING, BRAINLESS PIECE Of... F-family!?"
>You smiled weakly.
"Yeah, you and Scootaloo are the only family I have.... the only one I need."
>There was a thousand emotions painted all over her features.
>All at once.
>She was still shaking, but nothing else.
>There was no sound coming out from her.
>Holy shit, you broke her!
>You got up from the bed and walked up to her.
>It was a risky move, but you just had to put your hand on her cheek.
"I-Is everything alright?"
>She moved faster than a lightning bolt!
>One of her majestic wings extended and hit you in the face.
>There was a taste of blood in your mouth.
>You were thrown back on the bed by the sheer force of impact.
>She flew into the air and landed hard on you.
>Her armored front hooves collapsed with your chest. 
"UGH!"
>Is she going to beat the shit out of you now?!
>You screwed up on an epic proportions, so you wouldn't blame her.
>Still, you think she's got other things to take care of, instead of breaking your bones right now.
"Wait you can..."
>Her magic enveloped your head and closed your mouth!
>"SILENCE!"
>Still using her power, she yanked your head upwards, close to her own.
>Very close.
>"That was for selling me out."
>Her tone was dangerously low.
>Suddenly she attacked your mouth.
>With her own!
>It wasn't an innocent kiss like before.
>This one was pretty deep and aggressive!
>Her velvety lips firmly pressed to your own.
>Her soft tongue invaded the inside of your mouth, with a force of a thousand French kisses.
>She wrestled your head down into the wrinkled bedcover.
>You felt her whole weight on you. 
>Her eyes were closed and...
>*POMF!*
>Her onyx wings were now spread to their full lengh.
>W-Was this the legendary wingboner?!
>She ended the kiss as quickly as she started it.
"W-Wow.."
>Yes, you were speechless.
>She folded her wings and was looking at you with a subtle bedroom eyes.
>Her cheeks got a faint rosy tint on them.
>"And that was for choosing me before anypony else."
>You finally found your voice.
"T-That was...wow.."
>Sort of.
>She smiled cleverly.
>"I decided that I need one more taste of those lips, before we destroy everything in sight."
>Yep, you could live with... WHAT?!
>She got off of your chest and you lifted yourself up into a sitting position.
"W-What do you mean by that?"
>She arched her brow.
>"Really? What can be so confusing for you? Soon there will be nothing here, but flames and destruction."
>You know what that meant!
>Was she trolling you?!
"No, I want to know why? Why would you do something like that?!"
>She looked at you with a serious expression.
>"Simple, as always. Do you really think, that excuse of a ruler will stood by and wait for a reason to remove ME from existence?"
>She bared her sharp teeth.
>"NO! She will NOT! She will be here SOON, probably with that traitor and the elements! They better be prepared for the FIGHT OF THEIR MISERABLE LIVES!"
>You hugged her quickly.
"If they want to remove you from existence, they have to remove me as well! I won't let you go that easily, don't even think about it!"
>She touched your neck with her muzzle.
>"Y...You honor your queen with your service."
>Yeah, she better appreciate what you were doing for her.
"Don't worry your highness. We will get through this together, like always."
>She smiled dangerously.
>"They won't expect my power to be so high at the moment and to add to that, I can use your stamina and will, to rise it to an unimaginable level." 
>She was so determined to fight.
>She told you that Scootaloo was away, playing with her friends.
>If this fight will actually start, it won't matter.
>You couldn't live with yourself, if something happen to her.
>Even, if she will be smart enough and run away from all of the mayhem, she probably won't have any family or friends to return to.
>You need to calm Nightmare down.
"Let me tell you something first. I know you have other opinion on everyone here, but I really believe they will try to talk to us first. Instead of attacking them right form the spot, lets try to..."
>You were interrupted by a loud knocking sounds.
>Someone was at your front doors.
>Nightmare disappeared from your arms.
>Once again you felt her presence at the back of your mind.
>Someone knocked once more.
>"Anonymous, are you there?!"
>It was Twilight's voice!
>Why was she here all of a sudden?
>Did Celestia actualy turned to the elements to take care of Nightmare?
>"I have something important for you, please open!"
>Nightmare warned you about her motives.
>~"This could be a TRICK, to get us outside! They are probably waiting for us there!"~  
>Normally, you would say she was being paranoid, but not in that circumstances.
>You may never know.
"I'm here! Say, Twilight are you alone out there?"
>Thanks to your heads tenant you will know, when she'll lie to you.
>Nighty will tell you, as soon as she detects something wrong in her answer.
>"Y-Yeah, I'm alone. Why are you asking such a weird question?"
>You waited for a few seconds, Nightmare wasn't saying anything, so you opened the doors.
>Twilight was a little annoyed with your strange shenanigans.
>"At last, what took you so long? I swear, if this is your idea of a joke, it's a really bad one."
>She went inside.
>You saw she got something tucked under one of her wings.
>It was a yellow scroll, with a royal sigil on it.
>Using her magic, purple p0ne hand it over to you.
>"It came a few minutes ago, with a note to give it to you as soon as possible."
>You looked at it in your hands.
>Will it explode when you open it?
>You were saying something about being paranoid before, right?
>Twilight was losing her patience with you.
>"Hurry up, I'm really curious what's in that letter!"
>Well, if she was so excited about it, this couldn't be a magic bomb or something.
>Also, no one told her, you will ever tell her what's in that letter.
>Without showing her the contents, you read it in double time.
>What was inside, made you even more nervous than before.
>To Twilight's disappointment you folded the message and hid it in your pocket.
"Sorry Twi, this is a private matter between me and princess Celestia. You would be bored anyway, its nothing exciting."
>She growled annoyed.
>"Well, alright! You can keep your secrets. There is nothing wrong with that, but please don't ruin my castle again, if this 'boring' matter get out of your hoo.. hands."
>You smiled silly.
"I'll do whatever I can, but no promises! You know, I even think, that this time you won't have to worry about your castle, when everything will go south. It will just cease to exist, you won't have to worry about cleaning or repairing anything."
>You moved your brows like some cartoon characters.
>Who said you couldn't troll her a little.
>It was a little sad though, that it was also truth.
>"Ha..ha..ha.. very funny. You should go and take a few lessons about jokes from Pinkie. Now, please excuse me, I need to be somewhere else."
>She turned around and was walking outside when suddenly everything slowed down.
>You knew exactly what that was and why it happened this time.
>Please, please don't tell it Nightmare!
>~"NOW CATCH HER! BREAK HER HORN, RIP OUT HER WINGS! When you ELIMINATE her, the elements won't WORK!"~
>Ffffuuuuuu.jpg
>You got no intentions to do that!
~"NO! I won't do it! I told you we will speak with them first, before anything else! Please be reasonable!"~
>Time got back to its normal speed.
>~"You'll REGRET that decision Anonymous, you'll SEE! This was the only occasion we could ever get, to do this before the confrontation."~
>Twilight shut the door behind her.
>You quickly got out of the house through the back door.
>Running straight ahead, you were thinking about that letter from Celestia.
>In short, she wanted to meet with you in the Everfree forest.
>Nightmare said it was probably a trap, but you couldn't refuse.
>She wrote that if you won't be there, she would drag you herself from your house. 
>Of course, she wrote it in a more 'softer' words, but the message was clear.
>You were suppose to go to the edge of the Everfree forest, not too far away from your house.
>There somehow you will know were to go next. 
>When you reached your destination, Nightmare turned your attention to a small ball of glowing energy, which was waiting for you there.
>It looked like a very small version of the sun above you.
>It was clear for you, that you need to follow this magic thingy into the forest.
>So, you did just that.
>When you were walking down the path known only to the glowing sphere before you, you heard some rustling sound.
>No, this wasn't your jimmies.
>Those went full apeshit a long time ago.
>There was something in the bushes behind you, following you.
>You didn't have time to check what it was or ask Nighty if she can run a little magic scan, because you just found yourself where you supposed to be.
>You walked out of the bushes into a big clearing, with a massive rock in the middle of it.
>Glowing ball flew high above the huge stone and dispersed without a trace.
>When you tried to find it, you saw there was someone standing on top of this big, natural obstacle before you.
>It was princess Celestia.
>She looked different than usual.
>Instead of her royal attire, she was wearing a full, gold battle armor.
>She even got a more ornate version of Nightmare helmet on her head.
>Her mane and tail looked like liquid fire and her eyes were glowing with energy.
>She turned to you in a very serious tone.
>"I see you managed to get here in time. The BOTH of you!"
>You didn't liked where this was going.
>Celestia was probably pissed like all hell.
>You thought she was supposed to be the smarter one here!
>You raised your hand in the air.
"Listen, I didn't came here to fight. I just want to talk to you, thats all!"
>She squint her eyes dangerously.
>"I think that your 'other half' have a different opinion about this. I can feel your offensive power growing into insane proportions, from the very beginning of this conversation!"
>You could felt that too.
>You were like a living weapon once again.
>Your eyes were glowing with a jade like power, while the rest of your body were tightly covered with dark blue and black magic discharges.
>Good, that gave you the balls needed to continue that discussion.
"Please your highness, we won't attack you, its just a precaution! Why are you waiting for us here and why alone? I thought that if a ruler want someone in prison, he or she send for guards."
>You need to calm her down with some small talk.
>Maybe she is like Nightmare and it will work on her as well.
>"I am not your princess anymore! Not until you're merged with HER!"
>Nightmare was getting pissed as well, the ground started to tremble a little.
>The air between you and Celestia was getting heavy from the power emanating from the both of you.
>"As for why am I alone, its really simple. Dealing with Nightmare Moon is my, and only my responsibility. Its my fault she exist in this world and I'll be DAMNED if I let her harm anypony else again! Especially my sister, who suffered the most because of HER!"
>Nightmare was laughing loudly in your mind.
>~"If it wasn't for ME, her sister would probably KILLED herself, form all that GRIEF a thousand years ago!"~
>Yeah, through her memories you saw in what kind of a state Luna was that time.
>What Moonie said was pretty likely to happen.
>She strongly believed that even her own sister has abandoned and hated her.
>Now that sister was looking at you, with a little softer eyes.
>"Anonymous, if you cooperate I can help you get her essence out from your system. I know you have a good heart and a kind soul inside of you. Don't let her corrupt you, like she did with my sister! Think about your daughter Anonymous and please listen to me!"
>You clenched your fists.
"I am and I think she will be happier with a father and A MOTHER! Don't do this Celestia, don't make me choose!"
>White alicorn goddess closed her eyes.
>She sighed heavily.
>When she opened her eyes again, there was nothing else in them, than a cold determination.
>"Then you give me no choice. I'm sorry Anonymous."
>In a blink of an eye, from her long horn, she fired one of the most powerfull magic blasts you have ever seen.
>You extended your hands instinctively to hide yourself from it.
>~"HOLD THEM THERE!"~
>You felt that Nightmare, even quicker than Celestia, amassed incredible amounts of her own magic in them and shoot her own version of that destructive spell.
>They connected with each other in a life-or-death power duel!
>Everything was shaking.
>The ground you were standing on started to crack.
>Even this huge stone Celestia was on top of started to brake a little.
>There was an ear spliting roar in the air. 
>The odds were even!
>Neither party was a sure winner at the moment.
>~"I NEED TO USE YOUR BODY STRENGTH! ONLY THEN WE WILL WIPE HER FROM THE FACE OF EQUESTRIA!"~
>D-Did you really want that?!
>Is there no other way?!
>You can't just kill Celestia like that!
>You...
>Before you could decide on anything you heard someone yelling as hard as she can!
>In your direction was running Scootaloo!
>"NO! Please stop, don't fight!"
>Celestia didn't seen or heard her, she wasn't supposed to be here!
>What was she doing here?!
>She must have followed you... she was in that bushes!
>You must stop her.
"STOP Scootaloo! RUN AWAY from here! PLEASE!"
>Suddenly the flow of magic was distracted.
>Two spells wrapped themselves around each other at the center.
>AND EXPLODED!
>You were thrown backwards onto a tree, which cracked from the force of the impact!
>When you stood up on a wobbly legs, you saw that Celestia was no better.
>She was thrown down from her spot on the rock.
>Into the ground.
>Pretty hard, judging from the crater that formed around her.
>Right now though you didn't gave a single fuck about the white alicorn.
>Holding your guts, which was already regenerating, you were nervously looking for Scoots with your eyes.
>When you saw her, you felt like if a glacier was thrown into your stomach.
>Scootaloo was lying on the ground, covered with dust in a weird position.
>Her eyes were closed and she wasn't moving.
>Not at all.
>Nightmare... just snapped.
>~"She... S-SHE KILLED MY LITTLE FILLY! AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!"~
>You looked at Celestia once more.
>You think you just made your decision about her future.
>
>You are Scootaloo.
>You can't feel, see or hear anything.
>Are you dying?
>You're not able to tell if you are breathing, so everything is possible. 
>How did this happen?!
>...
>You remember that you were walking back home, from one of your numerous crusades.
>Still, you and the girls had no cutie marks after that one.
>At least this time you were not covered in tree sap.
>Even if that would be true, you wouldn't be bothered by that, like you used to be.
>In your new home, you would be cleaned by your mom's magic, in no time!
>Your mom was no other than Nightmare Moon!
>How cool is that!
>Her power was easily in par with princess Celestia's own.
>Some sticky dirt would be no match for it!
>How did you know she would do that for you?
>She was suppose to be evil and stuff, if the legends were true.
>Well, she looked intimidating with her predatory eyes, sharp teeth and her size.  
>Regardless, you saw how she looked at you.
>You were the apple of her eye!
>Under that whole facade of strict and dangerous alicorn, she opened her heart for you.
>You knew this, the moment she hugged you that night when your dad, known better as Anon, fell deeply asleep on the couch.
>She even comforted you, when you start being crazy about it.
>You... you were waiting for a family like this your whole life.
>One after another, fillies and colts from the orphanage found their new homes and families.
>Sadly, no pony was interested in flightless, unruly pegasi filly.
>Regardless, even when you were forgotten or beaten and bruised, the hope that someday you'll find your own place in life, was the only one you clung to survive.
>It was this or finding your true talent.
>Maybe then you would be useful and somepony would take a longer look at you.
>It was so close to true happiness when Rainbow Dash agreed to be your honorary sister.
>You thought that spending more time with her and showing your best moves and cool behavior, will give her some hints that you wanted something more than this.
>However, you quickly saw that she was interested more in herself, than in you and resigned from the idea of telling her about your true 'family'.
>Then in the worst time of your life, fate had send you Anon.
>Who later decided to fulfil most of your greatest wishes.
>Home, family, future to look up to.
>You were just en route to check if he woken up from his strange slumber, when you saw him.
>He was running fast in the direction of the Everfree forest.
>Sweet, he was in better shape than in the morning!
>Probably your mom had something to do with it.
>She looked pretty upset with his state in the morning.
>Why was he going to this accursed forest?
>His face was a perfect picture of concern.
>You start chasing after him.
>You knew you shouldn't go there again.
>You would never told this out loud, but you felt more safe around him than even around Twilight or Rainbow.
>That gave you the courage to go after him there.
>You could always shout and he will help you.
>Before you reached that clearing, he was heading for, your moves were stopped by the roots sticking out from the ground.  
>When you had freed yourself, he was out of sight.
>Then you heard some loud voices, coming out from the clearing.
>Looking from between the bushes you saw a devastating scene.
>Princess Celestia was arguing hard with Anon.
>It looked really serious.
>You didn't heard exactly what the fuss was about, but before you could do anything, all Tartarus broke loose.
>They started shooting at each other with the most powerful magic spells you ever saw in your life!
>Everything was shaking and breaking around them.
>This was crazy and stupid!
>Why would they want to beat the manure out of each other?!
>Is it because princess Celestia somehow knew Anon was hiding Nightmare Moon from her?
>No!
>You wouldn't let anypony to harm your new family and separate you from it, at the very beginning!
>You need to stop them before anything grave will happen!
>Before you reach them close enough for your yelling to be heard, dad saw you.
>He was trying to tell you to run, but you were too determined to save them both.
>Then suddenly, something went astray with their power duel and your world exploded! 
>The last thing you remembered was being thrown in the air, the rest of the memory covered in black.
>What was going on out there, on the other side of your eyelids?!
>Suddenly you had a muscle spasm.
>"...S..Scoo...loo..pl..ease.."
>Your senses were coming back!
>Your limp body was lifted in the air and pressed to something warm and... and breathing!
>There was also some tepid and wet liquid dripping on your head.
>You slowly opened your eyes.
>Firstly you saw what or rather who was holding you.
>It was An...dad!
>He looked horrible!
>The liquid that was dripping on you, was really the blood from his devastated eye.
>His clothes were torn and burned.
>He was all covered in cuts, bruises, burns and even more blood.
>You saw that he was holding you with only one hand.
>T-The other one l-looked like it was... missing!
>You thought that your heart stopped, but even this sight didn't do it.
>What actually did it, was what you saw next, behind your battle bruised dad.
>Everything was burning around you and the ground was cracked and damaged in many places.
>On that kind of a ground was lying princess Celestia!
>She was not moving.
>Even her wavy mane and tail were still.
>One of her wings was set at an odd angle, the other one... missing.
>Her whole body was in similar state to your dad's.
>She... she was lying in a pool of her own.. blood!
>Swallowing hard you looked at what was the main reason of that.
>Her long, white, magical horn was broken off near its base.
>The missing part was... sticking out of her swan like neck!
>It.. It was almost red from all the blood, which was coming out from the wound around it!
>You felt that your dad started to pet you.
>"E..Everything is going to be alright Scoots, don't worry.."
>NO!
>Nothing is going to be a-alright!
>He just signed his own death sentence with what he did!
>You would have no place to hide against the retaliation of exactly everypony in Equestria!
>You wanted to scream, so you did just that.
"AAAARRR...*COUGH!*.. *COUGH!*..*COUGH!*" 
>You started coughing furiously.
>Everything was black once again!
>There was pain in your back and wings.
>You felt like if a chariot hit you, head on!
>Slowly the air was forced back into your lungs and you could breathe again.
>With great effort, you opened your eyes.
>Turned out, you never opened them before.
>What you saw calmed a little your madly beating heart.
>Except some new cracks in the ground, everything seems to be like it was before the explosion.
>What you saw before, must have been a twisted vision of your unconscious, concerned mind!
>Your dad, standing near a toppled tree, was looking intensely at princess Celestia.
>Luckily she was alive and slowly standing up, from the shallow crater, she was lying in. 
>The problem was the killing intent in your dad's glowing eyes.
>You didn't want to see him or her in those states, your mind just showed you, once more!
>Sucks that you were still in shock and couldn't move or even talk.
>No!
>You won't lie there and watch!
>You.. you wouldn't be worthy to call yourself the daughter of a manticore slayer, if you would surrender now!
>Using all your will power and strength at your disposal, you tried to yell as loud as you could.
>What came out of your mouth was a weak chicken like squeak.
>Why did chicken came to your mind as the first animal you compared it with, you will never know.
>Regardless, you knew that was enough to turn his attention on you.
>His hearing was incredibly good in his, like you had called it 'combat mode'.
>You didn't even had to wait a few seconds, when his eyes turned in your direction.
>Actually, he was already beside you!
>He teleported as soon as he saw your eyes was opened.
>From the look on his confused face, you judged that it was not exactly what he wanted to do.
>Probably, somepony else decided, it will be the best course of action at that moment.
>Your mom must have been worried sick about you too.
>Probably they thought you were dead for a second there, it would explain 'their' killing intent against Celestia.
>Likely the both of them thought it was her doing and all.
>Your dad had took you in his arms.
>His face a perfect picture of relief and affection.
>There was a jade like magic around you.
>Probably some insanely strong healing magic, because you already felt like before the explosion.
>There was no pain or shock residing in your body anymore.
>Dad hugged you with the power of a thousand cuddles.
>So embarrassing and so satisfactory at the same time!
>"Your mom told me, that if you do something so dangerous and unwise again, she will personally send you to the moon, to cool off that attitude of yours."
>Your dad was smiling broadly trying to look serious there.
>As well as you.
"Tell her that I love her too!"
>Dad was looking like he was about to burst into a laughing fit.
>Instead, his flat muzzle suddenly had a very dangerous grimace on it.
>His eyes were the same, looking at something in front of him.
>You turned your head in that direction.
>There was a very serious and somehow confused princess Celestia standing with her horn pointed dangerously at the both of you.
>Your dad pressed you harder to himself.
>"At least wait until Nightmare spell will mend her broken bones, you fucking lunatic!"
>He bared his teeth at her, they were exact replicas of your mom's.
>You had broken bones?!
>Good that your mom was packing so much of her magic in you, or instead of laughing you would be crying there in pain.
>With the corner of your eye you saw that this cool magic wings burst out of your dad's back.
>They looked different this time, more like some kind of sharply ended tentacles than wings, to be truthful.
>Those 'energy snakes' just waited for an opportunity to pierce and electrocute anypony that will come near their reach.
>Princess Celestia swiftly jumped back.
>That was so rad, you wish you would move so graceful when your wings will finally work like they supposed to be!
>She was no longer pointing at you with her horn and started to walk in circles around your dad, in a safe distance.
>"I must state that I'm really confused right now, Anonymous."
>Your dad growled back.
>"Yeah, about what!? Do you look in this golden armour like some retarded pimp with to much love for bling-bling? The answer is yes!"
>She squinted her eyes.
>"No, I'm concerned about your 'family' here or rather what it did to the Nightmare Moon, which I'm standing in front of right now."
>She stopped in place looking at you.
>"I heard what you said to this little filly and what she responded back."
>She pointed with her armored hoof at those cool, onyx energy wings.
>"Every time I was facing her, she treated me like an obstacle, maybe the greatest one, but still an obstacle."
>She took her hoof away.
>"She even listened to Luna and didn't harmed me, when we seen each other again, after her thousand years of banishment. She just removed the obstacle, nothing else mattered to her."
>Her mane and tail stopped looking like a liquid fire.
>"Right now though, she is more furious and aggressive than ever before, against me, for just looking at 'her' filly. She is also vulnerable at the same time, using her strongest magic to heal her wounds, against her older self advice, that showing your weak points to the enemy was the greatest of mistakes."
>She bowed her head.
>"Please forgive me little filly and Anonymous. I judged her wrong. I thought, that what I saw in a blink of an eye in your memories Anon, was just an act for her. That she was pretending to care about what you said to her, or anything else what happened to the both of you. She would finally trick you and having her full power would try again, to jeopardize the future of Equestria." 
>You didn't know what was going on!
>What memories?
>What act?
>Celestia was still talking.
>"I thought that she was a creature borned from the lowest of emotions, unable to feel anything positive. Without a heart. I was wrong. Just now, I saw enough to tell your memories were true and she is capable of feeling something more than just an anger, ambition and disdain. Now I clearly see, that she can listen to reason and have a heart, which can... love."
>She smiled weakly.
>"I won't attack you anymore without reason, I would be damned if I would take away the happiness from somepony who is able to love, care and make friends. Even if it is my greatest adversary. I just want to ask the both of you to always be at her side and little by little change her view on the world around like you are already doing."
>Dad smiled in her direction.
>"Man, you don't even know how much you scared me there with your 'let's destroy each other' attitude and you were the one who was yelling at me, for acting unwise in that thorne room before. Never do that anymore and I won't bring your little tantrum from just now, ever again. Oh, by the way, you wouldn't want to hear Nightmare's opinion about you, for stating those things about her just now. I wouldn't tell it in the presence of a little filly, but believe it involves you and a lot of stallions reproductive organs in a much more grim setting than you can imagine."
>She was not impressed.
>"I thought so, she still got her old pride and attitude after all. I hope that you can show her the ways of peace, instead of conquest and we will never have to repeat that situation ever again."
>You had to tell something.
"Yeah mom will be too busy for that now, with her new family and all!"
>You dad ruffled your mane playfully.
>The touch of his dexterous fingers was the most soothing thing in the world for you.
>That crazy mint green mare knew exactly what she was doing by chasing after those hands!
>Sadly for her, your mom would surely fried her hindquarters to a crisp, if she ever got a good mane ruffle from your dad.
>You wonder what she would do to him, if he would ever agreed to such request.
>Princess was looking at you.
>"Thank you, brave filly. I must be on my way back to the palace, before they discover my absence. I would like to ask one last thing from you. Please keep the secret about Nightmare Moon from everypony, as much as you can, till I tell you otherwise. I think that Equestria may be ready for another resocialized villain like it was with Discord, but I fear that my sister is not. Not if it is her. I will have to prepare Luna for this and it will take time. Until then, I bid you good day."
>She flew into the air and you felt that your 'parents' were calmer.
>Dad's energy wings disperced into the thin air.
>Regardless, dad was looking concerned at her now tiny form in the sky and was talking to himself.
>"What didn't you tell us about Celestia? 'We' felt that you were hiding something big, under this facade of destroying your enemy and whatnot. Is this was just a way to went some of your frustration about something else? Is it going to bite us in the ass so much that we would rather die than live through this, oh great and powerful ruler of Equestria? Is..."   
>Alright it was getting weird and grim at the same time.
>You had to stop this, so you coughed in your hoof.
>That got his attention.
>He smiled to you.
>"Oh, sorry there Scoots, don't listen to you old man's rant. Lets go home, we have a little talk about running in front of a death ray, that would be perfect for the long way back."
>Great, now you wished you didn't cut his day dreaming so short.
>Still, you were wondering what was he and probably mom so concerned about.
>You can only hope it won't affect your lifes.
>In your opinion, everypony in this family suffered enough.
>Right?
>
>You are Nightmare Moon and you're once more in your 'physical' form.
>You're sitting beside the window in your room, inside of your new house.
>There is dark outside.
>Anonymous is sleeping behind you.
>Scootaloo is also there.
>She lies on top of his chest sleeping soundly.
>It was her self-appointed reward for her 'rescue mission'.
>Before you could have said anything against it, Anon agreed on this without thinking it through.
>He really must learn how to refuse her requests.
>You looked outside.
>Your beautiful night always brought you solace, but not this time.
>You are calm and composed on the outside, but inside you're an emotional wreck.
>There was a storm scheduled for tonight.
>The first raindrops started falling on the other side of the window.
>With your unflinching gaze, you trace one of them rolling down on the window glass.
>Are you also like this pathetic, fading water bubble?
>Bending your true self on whatever reality the fate throws at you?
>Was that old hag right?!
>Are you not your old self anymore?!
>You wanted to scream in frustration!
>You are NIGHTMARE MOON!
>You will NEVER falter!
>Nopony will ever defeat you!
>Except... this time the pony who wants to bring you down, is you yourself...
>The feelings of content and stability are growing stronger in your heart.
>On the other hoof feelings like desire of righteous vengeance, upon everypony who ever crossed you, are being obscured.
>Are you getting soft?!
>You turned your head from the window and looked at the two sleeping forms behind you.
>Is this whole 'family' setting you found yourself in, really made you weaker?
>Your gaze fell on Scootaloo.
>Even without looking inside them, it was clear she was having some pretty dynamic dreams.
>Her whole body was covered in small muscle spasms, which indicated she was very active now, inside her dream.
>She was also salivating profusely on Anon's chest.
>How could he be still sleeping in such conditions?!
>This sight could have even made you smile, if not for this nagging question in the back of your mind.
>Was the both of them really the instruments of your supposed demise?
>You were stuck with Anonymous, that was clear.	
>You never told him that, but when he was unconscious, without his right mind, something changed within his body. 
>You were no longer its 'prisoner'.
>There was a way out for you now.
>You could permanently leave it, without much problems.
>Of course it would be very unwise, like you stated earlier.
>Without a host you would get weak in a few days time, or even quicker, if you would use your powers excessively.
>In truth, there was no better host than Anonymous.
>Beside the fact, he is the holder of your favour, his 'magicless' body is ideal for your power to grow and regenerate very quickly.
>Your magic don't need to fight for dominance with his already residing one, because no magic like that exists there.
>The only moment when you would decide to leave him, with all of your powers, would be a desperate one.
>Like when you decided to visit this cottage, with a lot of chaos magic in it, to help Anon get back to his own body.
>What about the purple maned filly?
>What about... Scoots?
>You really grow fond of her, in such a short time.
>When you saw her unmoving body, after yours and Celestia's powers explode, you really felt like your heart was thorn apart.
>Your first thought was that you will never be called... mom, with her smiling little muzzle.
>If she wouldn't survived, you were sure that you would turn this excuse of an alicorn to ashes!
>Even at the cost of your own life!
>That was the problem, you totally lost control.
>You knew rage like the back of your hoof, but that was something else there.
>You've been seeing blood red and foaming from your snout like mad!
>That wasn't you at all!
>You always had a plan of action beforehoof, striking fear into your enemies hearts.
>This time you just wanted to draw blood, nothing lost, nothing gained.
>Aside from the fact of your almost feral behavior, there was also an issue of you showing a real weakness during that fight.
>You were using most of your strongest magic to cut off the pain from Scootaloo and heal her, from her serious injuries.     
>That could've gave that tramp a significant advantage!
>Of course you were ready for her, but eventually confrontation, with that kind of a distraction, could have been very dangerous for the both of you.
>Is that little filly such a burden?
>Is she the main factor of your supposed change?
>Do you really need to distance yourself from her and start being cold to Anonymous once again?
>...
>It was raining heavily outside.
>Entire streams of rainwater flowed on the other side of the window.
>The intense staccato of raindrops were interrupted only by even louder sounds of a stray lightning.  
>Just now one of those hit really close to your house, for a moment filling the entire room with an awfully bright light.
>After that darkness regained its dominance, flooding the room in the inky blackness.
>Among the dark only your jade, glowing eyes were visible.
>.....
"NO! DAMN HER FOR SOWING SUCH DISGUSTING SEEDS OF DOUBT IN MY MIND! I AM NIGHTMARE MOON AND I SURROUND MYSELF ONLY WITH THOSE WHO MAKE ME STRONGER AND THAT FAMILY DO JUST THAT!"
>You are BEYOND what that excuse of a ruler thinks about you!
>So, she suddenly became conscious about you not being an emotional simpleton?!
>Good for her and buck her with the force of a thousand moons!
>Guess, some of your 'host' speech patterns has rubbed off on you.
>Your loud declaration had managed to woke up Anonymous.
>He quickly raised his head from the pillow.
>"...Wha... What is going on? I-Is something wrong?" 
>Then he saw all of the saliva, which Scootaloo managed to unload on his chest.
>"Ugh... Bleh.."
>That... actualy made you smile.
>You walked up to him.
>His attention switched back to you.  
>You bent your head down.
>Your nose was almost touching his.
>You were wispering.
"Nothing is out of ordinary, my champion. Your queen was just thinking about some two, troublesome somepony's that she shares her life with."
>You licked your fangs showily.
>He smiled silly.
>"Um... would I like the answer, if I ask about the final conclusion of that thinking process?"  
>You bent your head even lower.
>Your magnificent mane touched his neck and head.
>He shivered a little at this.
>You liked that.
>Your lips were almost touching.
>With half closed eyelids you whispered again.
"I guarantee you would like it."
>You almost had a taste of his lips.
>Almost.
>Scootaloo raised her head unconsciously.
>"N..N-no Bloom t-that's not h..how you get y..your cutie maaark.."
>The sleep found her again and she slammed her head on his chest.
>She rubbed her cheek a little on it, with a silent hum of pleasure and went back to her dreams.
>Then she started to snore.
>Well, that killed the mood for you.
>You smiled maliciously.
"I guess you will have to live with your choices for now my dear Anonymous. Your queen doesn't like to have an audience, when she shows her 'appreciation'."
>That will teach him to refuse her request sometimes.
>Also, you like your stallions hungry for that kind of attention and that will only whet his appetite.
>He did a sad face, but seemed to understand your reaction.
>He patted lightly that mischievous orange filly and laid his head down on the pillow.
>You circled the bed around and lied down beside them.
>You draped one of your wings around their forms and laid your head on Anonymous neck.
>Feeling the familiar scent of the both of them, you had only one thing left on your mind.
>Let your 'old' self be damned, but you think you made the right choice.
>After all, you can be a little selfish and deserve some happiness in between all that vengeful crusade.
>...
>
>You are Anonymous and you are so pissed off!
>Why?
>Well, because of that word breaking, back stabbing bitch!
>Cumboat Dash!
>Element of loyalty my ass!
>That fucking cyan p0ne really got on your nerves this time!
>You will shit blood and thunder upon her grave, but first you'll remind yourself everything from the begining. 
>So, why are you so upset son?
>Well, it was a week after the confrontation with Celestia.  
>It was a surprisingly calm week at that!
>Nightmare was calmer than usual and didn't triggered your 'death dealer' mode even once.
>It was close just once, when this brown pegasi stallion visited your house.
>It turned out, he was from the orphanage to get a first look on your housing arrangements.
>As a pony with wings he was really impressed with it.
>After all, it was specially modified for a pegasi family that lived there before and Scoots was a pegasus like them.
>Everything was fun and games before you told him that technically this house was not yours yet.
>He went totally bonkers hearing that.
>Well, maybe you exagareted a little there.
>He started to shout that you must not be serious about this whole adoption, if you're doing something like that.
>You living in somepony else's house with your new daughter and trying to cheat a civil servant into believing its yours and all that.
>He was very close to make a note that you can't be her father.
>Good that Scoots wasn't have to be there that time, or she will surely end up in some angry fit or tears, because of his words.
>Thanks to her absence, he was lucky as well.
>He had a good chances to be evaporated or even worse then and there, if she would end up in tears.
>Nightmare was constantly reminding you, that having her full powers back, she had new methods of making ponies disappear, without a trace.
>He would be send on 'vacation' to the moon, without any protection against its cold atmosphere and breathing arrangements.
>You on the other hand would have to tell everyone, who would look for him, that he went on his merry way after talking to you and you never seen him again.
>Moonie thought that this was a bulletproof plan.
>You didn't wanted for the moon to have a frozen, dead pony as a permanent part of its landscape, so you explained everything to him.
>You told him about the 'royal gift' and the advice the mayor gave you, when you saw her about buying a house in Ponyville.
>He calmed down significantly.
>Though, before he left, he told you that what Scoots needs the most in life now is stability, so it would be better for you to buy that house.
>Not just because it was so good for her, but also because she probably got used to it already, as 'her place in life'.
>Changing her closest surroundings once more, would only bring unneeded chaos into her life and that was something, which nobody wanted.
>So you decided to send a letter to Celestia that you wanted this particular house, end of the story.
>Spike was happy to help.
>While you were about it, you also learned from him, that Rainbow was back from some secret mission from Twilight and was in town again.
>You didn't saw the colorful maned p0ne for the whole week, so you assumed it was related to that meeting she was in, with the three princesses and Hard Feather.
>Her back in town was a really good news.
>Scootaloo was looking for her everywhere to 'cash' those flying lessons coupons, she gave to her as an apology for her rude behavior.
>Of course Nighty wasn't to happy about it.
>She said that she was the only one capable to teach her how to fly.
>So when Scoots came back home, upset that she didn't found her, Nightmare graciously proposed she could be her teacher.
>Oh, who are you kidding!
>She jumped on that opportunity like a mad dog on an exposed calf!
>She told her that as a future princess of the moon, she will have to take everypony's breath away with her flying skills, so there was no time to waste.
>It was good that you had such a high ceiling in your house, because of that the teaching process was possible.
>Scootaloo was on cloud nine when she was showing her everything with surprisingly big patience and tolerance for her mistakes.
>Regardless, you knew she was hoping for some time alone with her idol.
>Nightmare would have to learn to live with that someday.
>That day came almost a weak after that first flying lesson.
>You told Scoots that Rainbow was back in town and that she should look for her about those coupon business and all.
>Your dark queen had put on a brave face and declared that she would be back quickly, when she would see that Rainbow teaching skills was inferior to her own.
>You didn't want to tell her the truth.
>Surprisingly, you didn't have to!
>Scoots was back pretty soon after she left.
>She was mad and in tears and told the both of you, that she hates Rainbow to the core.
>When you asked why, she told you that she had found her and asked about those lesson she promised her for the coupons.
>She told her that she don't give a buck about that and to get lost.
>When Scoots stood her ground, she pushed her on the ground and said she don't have time for some retarded kid and flew away.
>That made you mad beyond reason.
>After a long session of comforting, Scoots finally went to school, she has got some trip to Canterlot scheduled for that day.
>You and Nightmare on the other hand had other plans instead.
>Find, catch and go medieval on Bluefast ass.
>You didn't knew where she lives or where to find her usually, so you went to ask Twilight about it.
>Eating the last bites of some seriously delicious blueberry muffin, courtesy of Derpy who saw you walking through town, you walked inside Twilight's castle.
>It wasn't strange it was opened, after all, who would try to steal from a princess of friendship in this crazy world?!
>What was strange, was the sounds coming from the famous main lounge of the castle.
>There were some weird pounding sounds and some muffled screams.
>You ran as fast as you could to this damned room.
>What you saw when you almost broke down the door, made your blood run cold.
>Your green bro Spike, was lying on the floor unconscious.
>Not too far away from him was Twilight, who was also lying on the floor.
>She had some strange ring like device on her horn.
>From your combined memory, you knew that it was a very powerful magic damper, which would render even that kind of a pony's magic useless.
>She wasn't unconscious, but was on a good way to be though, because of the pounding she was getting.
>The one who was trying to beat the living crap out of her was no other than Rainbow Dash!
>She had got a fresh red blood on her front hooves and was standing over purple p0ne who was begging her to stop.
>She did that, not because she was so nice.
>No, she saw you and was looking at you with dangerously squinted eyes.
>What the flying fuck was going on?! Why she was doing that!?
>You would get that questions answered, but before that you got something to do.
>You need to smash somepony's fucking, cyan muzzle on the nearest wall.
>You knew that Nightmare was more than happy to help you with that.
