Luna had been preparing for this day since the Crystal War ended two years ago. She let out a toothy smile as she passed a window. Showing the bright sun that she had grown to despise over the months. Deeply despise. She was absolutely sick of it. All the ponies cowering in fear at the sight of her. Not appreciating her beautiful moon. She had witnessed many nightmares of the citizens, filled with creatures hiding in the night. Even herself in some of them. If they wanted to be afraid of her...She will give them a reason to fear her.
She had been creating an army of bat ponies, destined to help her rise to power as she took her final step forward to an eternal night. She stepped into the throne room. Her Batponies had already begun to attack the castle by the distant but growing closer sounds of a large battle.
Luna stepped up to the pair of thrones and a large stained glass window depicting the sun and moon. She heard a pair of hoofs gallop into the throne room and come to an abrupt stop a few feet away from her. She turned her head slightly to see the confused expression of her older sister. She chuckled and looked back at the window.
"Hello, sister." She spat out. She heard Celestia take a few cautious steps towards her.
"Luna..." She said with a pause of hesitation. "What have you done?"
"Isn't it obvious?" Luna asked with a slight sarcastic note. "I am taking control. I am choosing my own destiny."
Luna spun around. The voice in her head, assuring her again that this was the right choice. If she wanted respect. If she wanted what Celestia had so selfishly kept from her, this is what she had to do. Even if she wanted to cower away, she couldn't, She had gone too far now. Celestia's ears dropped as her confusion morphed to a combination of anger and annoyance. Not the reaction Luna had expected but she would take it.
Luna reared up and stomped her front hoofs to the ground, the force amplified by her magic that it caused a crack to form. Leading from the damaged floor up to the window. Smashing it open. Celestia growled and took a few more steps toward her sister. Thinking that she had finally gone off the deep end and this would be handled like a teenage outburst. They would yell and fight with each other and it would be over. She would get punished and life would move on.
The voice was ordering her once again, Luna was becoming increasingly annoyed at its orders. Fueling her anger.
"Sister. Stop this madness. You have gone too far this time." Celestia yelled. Luna let out maniacal laughter as a response. She flew into the air. Using her magic to cause a Solar Eclipse across Equestria.
"The only Princess in Equestria...Will be me!" Luna yelled. She used her magic once more, using a transformation spell with a hint of dark magic to become stronger, more powerful, she became Nightmare Moon. "I am Nightmare Moon."
Celestia backed away as a few injured guards came to report to the Princesses.
They faltered and clumsily came to a stop behind Celestia.
"I-Is that-P-Princess L-Lu-Luna?" One of the guards whispered quickly. Some nodded their head in agreement, others did not.
"N-No way...Princess Luna doesn't look like...That!" Another guard stammered next to him.
"I don't know...I see a resemblance." Another guard admitted.
"Quit talking and attack!" Another hissed with confidence. The five guards looked at the guard with disbelief.
"We weren't trained to deal with an Alicorn!" One of them argued.
"We weren't trained to chicken out either yet here we are." Another one pointed out.
