*in Eris' throne room*
Capper- *tossing bits in the air* You know Eris, we may look pretty different on the outside, but you, me and Meridian are actually pretty similar.
Eris- *smirks* Really? The queen of chance and a street cat very similar? How's that?
Meridian- *smirks and laying down* These ponies they've never really had it bad. We lived under the Storm Royals. We lost our family. Friendship isn't going to fix that.
Capper- *tossing coins in the air* We stayed alive and healthy because we lived our wits. We rolled with the punches.
Meridian- *sly grin* When things got tough, we knew how to create a little chaos. *admits* But the Storm Royal's had iron fists like your Ponies Of Shadow. They didn't appreciate the finer points of chaos.
Capper- *smirks* The more they squeezed, the faster it all slipped through their fingers. Heck if they had treated ol' Tempest and Storm better, they might not be gravel now.
Meridian- *smirks* Just like us, you nodded your time. You kept your cards close to your chest. And when you got your chance, not only did you seize it...
Capper- *makes the coins disappear* ...you created a whole castle full of misdirection.
Eris- *shocked* A very nice trick. How did you do it?
Capper- *smirks* Come on now, you know a cat can't tell his secrets.
Eris- *dismisses* Very well, keep them. You're sure your friends will be coming here? I'd have thought they'd be here by now.
Meridian- *crosses her paws* You clearly don't know Luna and Artemis very well. I'm sure they found ol' Stygian and Styx where you left them and is wracking their little brains about how to save them.
Eris- *sighs* The guilty always are the most hopeless when it comes to saving others. Wouldn't you two agree?
Capper/Meridian- *smirks with a bit in their tails* Hmm...I reckon it would.
*meanwhile with the others*
Luna/Artemis- *shocked* Celestia...Solaris...?
Daybreaker- *solemn* No. This was our issue before. We do not know these names.
Solarstorm- *solemn* Our names are and as far as we can remember has always been Daybreaker and Solarstorm.
Luna/Artemis- *concerned* Oh.
Daybreaker/Solarstorm- *admits* But...we did have a brother and sister...once.
Daybreaker- *sadly* Their names were Nightmare Moon and NightTerror Nebula.
Solarstorm- *sadly* They were the most fiercest and most loyal of siblings, and I am afraid we failed them when it mattered most.
*everyone lowers their ears sadly except Midnight and Nightfall*
Both- *looks at Luna and Artemis* Do the names "Nightmare Moon and NightTerror Nebula" mean anything to you two...
Luna/Artemis- *to Twilight, and Dusk* *calmly* Twilight, Dusk, we'd do it ourselves but we're still low on magic. May you?
Midnight/Nightfall- *nods* Of course...*activates their magic and blasts at them*
Luna/Artemis- *they return to their forms as Nightmare Moon and NightTerror Nebula*
Luna/Artemis- *as Nightmare and NightTerror* *smirks at Daybreaker and Solarstorm* Did they look anything like this?
Daybreaker/Solarstorm- *sadly* You two look just like them...
