Reunion

[Pinkamena Diane Pie]

Pinkie Pie just pouted back "Ruiner" was all she had said as she bounced again, landing on Princess Luna's back, standing on all fours and in a flash, they were gone, just as the T-Rex went to bite at them. It was too close for comfort, that was sure.

But when they reappeard again, they still weren't in their right timeline, but instead, in the far future. In said future though, everything just seemed so dead and dark. The night sky was upon them, but as one would figure, the moon, it was shattered rather badly. Half a moon with the rest of it scattered across the sky.

The atmosphere didn't bode well either. Fog was around their feet, well, Luna's feet as Pinkie was still standing on Luna's back. Buildings were sunk in what seemed to be swampland as Pinkie arched an eyebrow slightly "Hey! This isn't the future I went to last time!" she spoke up, frowning somewhat as well.

[Princess Luna]

Fog was around her hooves. Buildings were crumbled to the ground. The moon. Oh dear Celestia, the moon. It was... it wasn't the moon that Luna's dark ego had spent an eon at. It wasn't the moon she took care of. This wasn't the night she loved. This was something completely different. For a moment, Princess Luna wished she was back in the age of the dinosaur. Her heart finally stopped racing now that she had gotten a good look at this dark and gloomy future.

"Pinkie Pie. I think we should return to our time." Princess Luna said. Her voice was suddenly quiet. Quiet unlike the royal Canterlot speech. Quiet unlike her usual voice. She didn't even use the majestic plural speech either. That's how much in shock she was to see her night so... so demolished. So ugly. So unlike she always envisioned it be. This was not something she had wanted to ever see.

[Pinkamena Diane Pie]

"Well duh" Pinkie Pie answered back as she bounced off Luna's back and in front of the Princess "I mean, this is not the future I went to last, it's too dark!" she added in, her front hooves flailing around a little, not really taking into consideration what the future was really looking like.

But then, Pinkie Pie finally looked up and saw the moon broken up and finally looked around at her surroundings before she thought for a moment and gasped "We need to fix this!" was all Pinkie had to add in. But then, there was the question as to how they would be able to fix the future they were in.

[Princess Luna]

"And, may I ask as to how we are supposed to fix this abomination of the night?" Luna asked, a look of concern showing obviously on her face as she looked down at the earth pony, seeing as how she had gotten off her back and stood right in front of her face. The night princess stood there, midnight mane and tail flowing gracefully as always as she stood there, awaiting her answer. Maybe going back to the present and changing something there would keep everything back in order.

At least, that's what the thought was. What to change, however, was the bigger question. What was supposed to happen to change this ugly future anyways?

[Pinkamena Diane Pie]

Pinkie Pie again, thought on the matter and was about to speak up herself when she looked past Luna and saw a cloaked figure just standing there. Pinkie just looked at the cloaked figure "Um....who is that?" she had to asked, looking rather confused all the while.

"My name is not important at the moment" the cloaked figure approached the two ponies "What is important is this future" he added in, eyes watching Pinkie in particular as he raised a finger and pointed it at the pink pony "You are the one that is to cause this dark and grim future, you ended up murdering all that you cared deeply for, which in turn, started a chain of events which led to this happening"

"Me?" Pinkie asked a bit shocked.

The cloaked figure just nodded back a little "Almost, not you but it was you....your dark side"

(ooc: Cloaked figure is just a small time OC for now, just around for very few posts ^^)

[Princess Luna]

Luna's face had shown how complicated it was for her to comprehend that everything here, everything of her glorious night, was going to be destroyed because of Pinkie Pie going on a murder spree. "Pinkie Pie, the element of laughter who has been one of my few remaining friends, is going to unleash horrors upon the world? Do this monstrosity to the world? To... my night?" Princess Luna spoke, her voice quavering a bit even. No. This... this wasn't right. If Pinkie did that, then Luna would...

What would Luna do? Become Nightmare Moon and terrorize the world with eternal darkness? Kill Pinkie for doing this to her night? It was a question that she pondered upon for a bit, even wondered if she should trust this cloaked man-figure-person out of nowhere.

[Pinkamena Diane Pie]

"No, not Pinkie Pie....but her dark self" the figure looked at Pinkie Pie still "There nis an evil within her, that if it is not stopped, it shall destroy everything that she holds dear to herself"

Pinkie Pie went silent for a moment "My dark self?" she asked back before realizing what he had meant "Her...." was all she could say in the end.

The cloaked figure nodded back "Indeed, if she is not stopped, she will destroy all, cause this future to become real"

"Then....how do I stop it?" Pinkie Pie asked back.

"That....I do not know"

[Princess Luna]

"Destroy everything dear to her?" Luna asked. Weren't... friends something that Pinkie held dear to herself? That didn't sound promising for Luna at all. Not. One. Bit. "Isn't death how all ends, mysterious sir?" The alicorn's hooves shifted about anxiously for an answer. Did someone have to kill Pinkie? To kill her dark self, one would have to kill the good one as well?

Luna wasn't sure if she herself could ever kill someone like Pinkie. Someone who rescued her. Besides, her evil self could manifest itself into demon form after death possibly.

[Pinkamena Diane Pie]

But that was just it, the mysterious cloaked figure was gone, without a single word as Pinkie Pie looked around "Perhaps....we should go" was all the pink pony had said with a bit of a sigh.

"Go? Now why would you want to go and do that?" the same voice asked as out of the fog she stepped, Pinkamena, Pinkie's otherself, but from a different time period. A grin appeared upon her face as she looked to Princess Luna "Princess, how are you? Do you like what I have done with the future? Beautiful, isn't it?" she asked, eye twitching.

"Pinkamena...." Pinkie muttered a little under her breath "It was you...."

[Princess Luna]

A moment of rage engulfed Luna, her pupils shrinking as she stamped a hoof on the ground. Boom. Thunder cracked as soon as her hoof made contact with the ground. "BEAUTIFUL? BEAUTIFUL WHAT THOU HATH DONE TO THE NIGHT WE WOULD KILL FOR? THE NIGHT THOU COULD HAVE DIED FROM HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR THE REST OF THE ELEMENTS?" Luna's volume was raised to beyond royal Canterlot status. It was raised to rage status. Even louder than the royal voice she carried. With so much anger, the alicorn's wings lifted her into the air slightly, brewing up shadow around her from her anger. Her eyes became pure white, mane lifting itself into the air.

"THOU SHANT CREATE THIS ABOMINATION! IS THAT CLEAR? IF THIS IS WHAT IS TO BE OF OUR NIGHT, THEN THOU WILL SUFFER A HEFTY FEE! A HEFTY FEE! A HEFTY FEE OF THY BLOOD!" Dark storms emerged in the sky before the princess landed on all four hooves, nostrils flaring in rage as she narrowed her eyes at Pinkamena. "Maybe we should have eaten thou on Nightmare Night! Thou can not be scared when digesting. No sign of fun in death!" Her volume lowered, but only to the royal Canterlot voice.

Not an actually quiet voice.

[Pinkamena Diane Pie]

Pinkamena just chuckled lightly as she stepped towards Princess Luna "And who here shall stop me from turning all this into permament staus? Pinkie Pie? No, she's far too weak and worthless to even do anything. You? No, you lost your hatred towards anything when you were defeated as Nightmare Moon" she spoke, unphased by Luna's rage-like voice, nor unphased by the dark storms.

Her eyes gazed towards Pinkie Pie as she smirked lightly "But, I'm glad you finally decided to show up Pinkie....we do have unsettle business to finish" her gaze glanced to Luna briefly then to Pinkie again "Fun thing is...." and that's when Pinkamena leapt at Pinkie, tackling her to the ground, hooves against her throat, already starting to choke her, ready to choke her to death "Unless your precious Luna has what it takes to, say, blast me with a killing blow from her horn, you will die by my hooves" she then pulled a hoof back and slammed it into Pinkie's throat, once then a second time....

[Princess Luna]

Fear. She had to strike fear into the dark pony's heart. She just had to imitate the form of Nightmare Moon. A simple task, so long as she didn't completely step into the hoofsteps of being Nightmare Moon. Maybe then she would be more able to kill Pinkamena. Princess Luna took a deep breath before being engulfed by shadows of magic, transforming her to give her the appearance of Nightmare Moon.

"There can only be one pony to do something as beautiful as this to the world. Me!" Luna shouted, doing her best to try and act like the monster she once was. Her shoes were now periwinkle blue, shimmering with glitter as well. Her head was covered by her tiara turned into a matching helm. Her horn was larger, giving her better aim, as she charged at the pink pony with anger. For a moment, the feeling of being Nightmare Moon overcame her when she did her best to kill Pinkamena with a killing blow, but the better Luna side kept her good mind in tact to forget the moment of joy into a moment of joy to save Pinkie.

Unless she failed miserably.

[Pinkamena Diane Pie]

Well, it seemed as though the princess still had a dark side about her after all as Pinkamena just smirked at that. She looked back at Pinkie once again and grinned "Looks like it's your lucky day Pinkie...." and with that, the dark pink pony grabbed Pinkie and pulled her up and in turn, pushed her in the direction of Nightmare Moon with a dark grin across her face.

"Let's see how good your princess really is Pinkie" Pinkamena chuckled as she took a few steps backwards, watching as Pinkie stumbled into Nightmare Moon's way "Let's see if she has what it takes to do whatever it takes to get rid of me....even if it means killing you in the process. So what says you princess, do you have what it takes to kill Pinkie to get to me?" she chuckled as she just stood there.

Pinkie in turn, stood where she was, watching Nightmare Moon just charging in her general direction "Luna...." she whispered to herself as she looked at her princess.

[Princess Luna]

Luna debated on skidding to a halt. If she killed both Pinkie and Pinkamena, she'd get the job done. She'd lose a friend, but she'd save her night. Save many others in the process. Maybe... maybe even save herself. That was important. Without her, the night would crumble. Maybe that's why the sky was as it was. Luna was dead in this future. Sparkling sapphire mane flickered like a flame as she realized this. She skidded to a halt, violet eyeshadow covered eyes fluttered to Pinkamena.

"Thou. Thou did this to my night. Without the other elements, Pinkie is useless. She may as well live another day. Thou... however... doesn't need the other elements to demolish MY moon. My prison is meant to stay a prison in tact. Because I want other ponies to feel the pain and sufferring that I spent years on!" The ebony furred alicorn was furious towards Pinkamena once more. "OUR prison is to be a prison to anyone! Demolishing it serves little purpose. Why not leave victims up in the moon for years, retrieve them, then kill them? A slower, much more painful death. Perhaps a SIMPLE and WEAK mind like your's can't handle such a well created plan!"

Luna knew she had to get back into her real form soon. She had gotten back into the bitter wrath of Nightmare Moon. She had to get out of it.

[Pinkamena Diane Pie]

"Now why would I want to go ahead and leave those, such as yourself, all cooped up away in a measly prison where they are able to instead, roam free? Though, perhaps you can't exactly see the brillance in my plan" Pinkamena started, only to have Pinkie speak up.

"It's not brilliant" Pinkie looked at her darker self "All you're doing is just destroying....everything without a care in the world"

"Exactly, which is why that is brillaint....that way, I can finally live how I was suppose to live in the end, with no one around....and in eternal night" Pinkamena smirked, yet, her eye still seemed to twitch all the while.

"You're....you're crazy"

"No! I am not crazy! I am not insane!" Pinkamena snapped back to her lighter self before turning her attention back to Nightmare Moon again with a slight smirk.
