Zecora POV
This story begins when I am making a brew, then applejack ran in like she flew
She started saying something I couldn't comprehend, so I hold up my hand for her to be suspend
"Please Applejack, slowly repeat back
I didn't understand you at this pace, what foe do we face?" I said in question, the Applejack again mention
"Nightmare moon is back and she's in the two sisters castle, my friend Jordan is holdin em' back, but I don't know how long though" Applejack said in a frantic tone, with a tone of a forebode
"You want me to tell them so you can help your dear friend, I will deliver your message and let your distance be mend" I said with a smile, she also smiled with emotion that was wide as a mile
"Thanks zecora, Ah owe ya one" Applejack said with relief, but that was replace with grief
"Now enough talk, to the castle that is nightmare block " I said pushing Applejack to go, before the worlds blow
"Yer right, I need to hurry over to her and be a watchin her back, make sure they get here as quick as they can" Applejack said with an urgent tone, luckily I have messenger stone
"Good luck Applejack, hope you will make it back" I said as I bid my friend farewell, today is as swell
Jordan POV
As I was beaten and slightly bruised, I hold them off with everything I have, but I don't know how long I can keep it up
"You're not getting tired already, we were just beginning to have some fun, all well, finish her" nightmare said with a smirk, she turned her back to me and walked off thinking this is the end of me, she was wrong
"I'm not going down that easily" I said as I punch the closest one to me into the ground, then the next one I kicked to my right side into a wall
"I still got some fight left in me, I'm not as weak as you think I am, especially since I'm still in earth pony form" I said tearing off my jacket
"Hmmm, this May be a bit more interesting than I originally thought, very well, NIGHTMARES, MERGE!!!!!" Nightmare moon yelled as the nightmares all clumped together into a big nightmare pony
"Can you defeat all of my nightmares, or do you yield and surrender to death" nightmare said looking at me coldly knowing my answer
"I'll protect my friends and I'd rather die fighting for my friends than surrender to you" I said spitting some blood out of my mouth
"Humph, very well then, nightmares, time for dinner" nightmare said in a calm voice
The nightmare growled, then it lunges at me, I dodge at the last second, the nightmare hit the wall behind me, I ran behind some old debris, catching my breath
'When are they getting here, I can't hold them off for long' I thought as I looking over the debris
It saw me and stomped its nightmare paws on where I was, I lunges forward and then did a forward roll, I stopped then side step to my left to only turn around to see nightmare moon in front of me
The next thing I know she grabbed me by the throat and then flew up where the roof used to be, we were above the abandoned castle now with me struggling to get free or loosen her grip
"You're a spry one aren't you, I'm gonna love having you as one of my minions, that is, if you can survive" nightmare moon said with malice in her voice
"My friends will come and save me, and they will beat you just you wait" I said as some blood just started to trickle down my head
"You mean the element bearers, I'm hoping they do, then my next phase of my plan will start, but I'm going to have some fun with you before they do" nightmare moon said with a murderous intent
She squeeze her hand a bit harder, my efforts to get free were wasted as everything was blacking out, then before I completely blacked out she let go, we were close to the ground, we moved without me noticing
I was hacking, gasping for air, she smiled and chuckled as I was laying down in my pain
"It seems that orange mare you're so close with came back, and with out any of her friends, how tragic" nightmare said with a fake pity and pout "But also very entertaining, I think I'll greet her myself, don't you think that's a good idea" nightmare said to me as I looked up at her with pleading eyes to leave my friend alone
"Please, leave her alone, just focus on me and me alone" I said with my voice breaking with every word as I pleaded
"I think not, after all, you like her more than the others now don't you" nightmare said crouching down to my level to see my reaction
I started in horror at the statement, she could hurt me, kill me, break my spirit, but if she touch her, then I will let her feel the full rath of Tartarus and then some more
"If you touch her, I will make you suffer worse than anypony in this world has suffered" I said staring at her with intent to kill her if she even thought of doing anything to hurt AJ
"My, my, touch a sweet spot haven't I, then I'll have to hold you to that promise, NIGHTMARES, SPREAD OUT AND ATTACK THE ELEMENT OF HONESTY!!!" nightmare said making sure I stay true to my promise
"Be quick now, or else they're going to kill her, unless it was just all talk" nightmare moon said
I was getting up until a nightmare jumped from behind me and got on top of me then held me down, I was still weak from being almost chocked to death
I transformed into my dragon form to push the nightmare off my back, I used my wings to propel the nightmare upwards then I turned around to burn it with my mix green fire (mint and neon)
I flew up through the no more ceiling and tried to find where AJ was, I looked outside the castle, nothing, I then try to use my dragon smelling to smell if she is close or not, got her, she's about 30 or 20 yards in the everfree forest, I flew as fast as my wings can go
"AJ hold on I'm coming, I'm almost there" I said afraid that I was too late
To my surprise she was doing a bit better than me when I fought them, now I feel as if I've been slacking off my training
"Woah nelly, that was close, they almost got my hat" AJ said as she duck and then knees to what I assume is a face of a nightmare
I jumped in as soon as I snapped out of it, I threw a punch at a nightmare closest to me, tailed whipped any that thought they had sneaked up on me
"I thought I told you to go get help, this is why I didn't want you to stay!!!" I yelled as I uppercutted two nightmares
"Well, Ah thought you would need some help given the situation and Ah would never leave a friend behind" AJ said as she roundhouse kicked two nightmares to her left
"Element of honesty and loyal to the end as well, you are full of surprise now aren't ya" I said watching her six as I was fighting nightmares left and right
They kept coming endlessly, it didn't look like we were going to win this fight so I did the only thing I could do
"Hey AJ, you said you would never leave a friend behind right?" I said getting ready to put my plan into action
"Yeah, what of it" AJ said as she jumped back as a nightmare slashed down with its nightmarish claws
"Well, I'm sorry but I'm going to make you break that promise" I said as building up my fire and tried to copy spikes magic
"What are ya- wait no I won'-" AJ tried to say but was interrupted by my flames engulfing her entire body
"I hoped that worked, now, I have to give them at least fifteen minutes, I don't even think I can hold out that long, but I will, for my friends" I said as I turned around with my right eye glowing and with bright neon/mint fire coming out of it
"Now, who's next?" I asked with both hands on fire with the same color as my right eye
They made a pathway for the biggest one out of all of them, I looked up and flashed a toothy grin
"Well I did asked, alright let's go big guy" I said as I ran at him and at the last second I jumped up and got ready to punch him in the face
AJ POV
The last thing Ah remember is bein surrounded by those flames that Jordan was usin to fight those nightmare, but different
"Applejack!!!! How did you get here, weren't you with Jordan" a voice that was twi's said
"Yeah, you just showed up like out of nowhere in green flames" RD said usin jazz hands as emphasis on the flames
"Neon and mint green flames darling, what I can't help but have an eye for detail" rarity said as everyone looked at her with a 'are you serious' look
"I think Jordan somehow used the same magic as spikes to get me here in her dragon form" Ah said as Ah was looking around to see where Ah was
Ah was at twi's castle in the map room with zecora there, she was wearin a look of relief, probably because she thought I wouldn't make it out, but for Jordan
"We need to head to the castle of the two sisters, that's where Jordan is and she's fightin nightmare moon and her nightmares all by her lone some!!!" I said in a panic
"What, I thought she would've fled, didn't she felt that energy blast from that nightmare" twi said frantically "or does she actually thinking she's more powerful than all of us, she almost got a bigger ego than dash" twi said with worry, tryin to sneak a joke in there to try an break the tension
"Hey!!!! I don't have that big of an ego, and you are right, she must be more powerful than last time to back it up" RD said sounding anger at the beginnin than she used her own experience to come to that conclusion
"You may be right, her bark is as bad as her bite" zecora said coming in
"Oh dear, I hope we will be alright when this is over" fluttershy said in a whispering tone
"Don't worry fluttershy, we'll make it out of this whole thing, just you wait" pinkie said as she picked up fluttershy and gave her a hug, in return fluttershy squeaked at the sudden hug
"I should involve Luna in this, she has the most connection with nightmare moon, and I don't want her to be defenseless just in case of nightmare moon goes after her" princess celestia said, as soon as she said that she teleported to Luna
"I'm coming to, I don't want to be on the side lines anymore, plus if we all survive this Jordan can teach me a few tricks so I can protect you guys more" spike said as he walked in with this look of determination to help us
"Are you sure you want to do that spike, I don't want you to get hurt" twi said all worried
I know why she sayin it, she's like his mother, I wouldn't blame her either
"I'm not small anymore, I have my wings and I'm as tall as you twi, and I feel like she knows something that she isn't telling us" spike said standing to his full height
Spike put his hand to his chin to think of something
"I want to more involve and I want to protect the one who raise me since I hatched" spike said as he walked over to twilight with a look that child would look at a mother
"I want to protect my family" spike said as he hugged twilight, twi hugged back and nodded
"As much as I love seeing this family moment I don't think Jordan will hold out for much longer, so I say he can come" Rainbow dash said sounding afraid for Jordan
"RD's right, we need to get to where nightmare moon is so we can finish this once and for all" I said knowing that she isn't going to hold out for much longer
Jordan POV
Welp this doesn't seem like I'm going to make it, let's see, first I teleported my friend AJ to the castle at least I hoped I did, secondly I picked a fight against the biggest nightmare that was there, probably possessed an ursa or something, and thirdly, let's see what was it, oh right I'm bleeding heavily from my left arm
"Geez, I'm not having any luck tonight am I" I said to myself as I'm hiding from the nightmares, they were possessing some timber wolves that unluckily were passing by
"I need to get to higher ground, but they also scratch my back so I can't fly that high or as fast with out leaving a trail of blood, at least added blood trail" I said as I hold my left arm trying to stop the bleeding
'I need to find a safe place, I don't know how long I can stay conscious, I probably have like two probably three minutes tops' I thought to myself
I then saw a clearing to the castle of the two sisters
"Well maybe I'll get lucky and find an underground entrance that hasn't been discovered since celestia was a teenager" I said to myself in hope I am right
So I limped as quickly as I can to the castle until I saw a path to under the castle, so I limped to the path until I tripped and fell down all the way to the bottom, and each time I hit the ground or a rock I muffled my shout of pain and grunted, to say that it hurt was an understatement
"Owwww, jeez that was a trip I didn't like, I need to find a safe place until my friends find me, I should probably turn back into my earth pony form" I said to myself as flames engulfed me until I turned back into my earth pony form
Dragons may have harder skin than most creatures, but their healing isn't as good as earth ponies, even then earth pony healing will take time, longer than I like
"Ohhh Jordan, where are you my plaything, I'm not done breaking you yet" said a voice from above
I found a cave under where the bridge is and hide there
"Oh are we playing hide and seek, I so do love playing that game, but I'm in a hurry so I'm afraid I don't have time, get her and make sure you bring me a body part" nightmare moon said as she talked to her nightmares
After that I heard screeching and something hitting the ground that blew the ground and dust everywhere
I limped further back into the cave hoping that it can't see in the dark, 'I'm wishing I still had my bag with me but I don't have on me anymore since they stole it in the castle earlier and I only have five knives on me, I need more if I'm going to survive this battle, dang it girls where are y'all" I thought to myself
Luna POV
I was in the tower sleeping when tia teleported in there to wake me up, I was in the middle of a foals nightmare and I was trying to help them through it
"Luna wake up, we have important matters and I need you to gather all the guards, the day and night guards, plus the crystal empire, get cadence and shining armor as well, I need to check on our allies to help!!!" Tia said in a panicked and scared voice
"Tia what is wrong, what has happened?" I asked worried what is going on
"An old enemy has returned and she has an army, we must have one too, and I need you in your armor, as will I need to as well" tia said with concern in her voice
This alarmed me, she almost never used that voice, even when Tirek attack she knew that twilight and her friends would prevail
"Tia!!!! What is going on, who are we fighting, I need to know so I can prepare" I yelled at my sister before she can run off to get our allies
"I don't know how to say this gently, or even if this is even the right moment, I should've involve you sooner" tia said with her hand on her face as if trying to hold back something
"Tia please, I won't be made if you tell me who are we fighting, but I also won't assemble my army if you don't tell me" I said with growing concern in my voice
"The am old foe that I have to face on my own, the same foe that possessed you, it's nightmare moon" tia said as she turned to me to my reaction, to say I was shocked was the understatement of the millennia
