AiE: You Can't Spell Friend Without Fiend Chapter 4

> Fast forward once again and you are now standing beside nightmare who is charging up her teleportation spell to bring you both to Equestria.
“Soon.”
> “Indeed Anonymous, we shall finally leave this desolate rock and I will assume my place on the throne and the night shall last forever!”
“So our plan is to get there, fuck shit up and take over? Me gusta.”
> “Since this will be your first teleportation I feel I should let you know that you may experience a slight discomfort, especially since we’ll be traveling over such a vast distance.”
“How bad could it be? In case you forgot I’ve already jumped through time and space why should this be any different?”
> Nightmare activates her spell and apparently it’s a lot different. While the process of crossing dimensions was slow enough for you to be painfully aware of it, the sudden change from the moon to wherever the hell it is you are now was more than a little disorienting.
>Which is why you’re now throwing up against the wall of some hall way.
> Nightmare's speaking gets your attention while your body adjusts to sudden change in gravity.
> “Oh my beloved subjects, it’s been so long since I’ve seen your precious little sun loving faces.”
>????: “What did you do with our princess?” Calls some dude from the crowd of ponies below.
> Holy shit that’s a lot of ponies.
“Oh god the colors.”
> After all that time on the moon this sudden burst of pastels is hell on your eyes so you stand next to nightmare and try to keep your focus straight on a wooden beam in what seems to be a foyer or something like that.
> NM: “Why am I not Royal enough for you? Don’t you know who I am!?!”
> This time a pink pony chimes in who seems oblivious to what’s going down.
> PP: Ooh, ooh! More guessing games! Um, you’re Suge Night and he’s Biggie Smalls!
> How does she know those names?
> PP: “How ‘bout Tall and Oates?”
> Oh pink pony, you so crazy.
> PP: “Oh, Black Booty! Black Booty!”
> Ha! You like that one. Aw some cowpoke just shut her up.
> NM: “Does my crown no longer count now that I have been imprisoned for a thousand years? Did you not recall the legend? Did you not see the signs?”
> It’s grape drank ponies time to speak now.
> GD: “I did, you’re the mare in the moon, Nightmare Moon. Although I don’t recall reading about that –thing- next you.”
> The crowd of ponies’ gasps and you can’t help but feel a bit rustled since the pink one could tell you were a dude at least.
> NM: “Well, well, well somepony who remembers me. Then you also know why we’re here!
> GD: “You’re here to… to… *gulp*”
> It’s not like you were gonna kill them right? Maybe her sister but really you can’t rule a nation if there are no subjects to rule over.
> NM: “Remember this day little ponies, for it was your last. From this moment forth, the night will last forever!”
> You summon bolts of lightning to punctuate her evil laugh and display your power to the terrified equines below.
> Some old biddy yells out to guards but you can’t hear her over the sound of how awesome you and Nightmare are.
> NM: “Stand back you foals.”
> Oh god not horse puns!
> You blast the guards with your lightning bolts.
“Pop, pop, pop. Watchin’ muthafuckas drop.”
> Was that villainous enough? Eh, close enough.
> Nightmare wraps you in her magical aura and the two of you are off before she stops at some tree house looking thing and peers through the window while you munch down on some of the best goddamn apple pie you ever had, which you snagged from the buffet on the way out.
> NM: “Come Anonymous we have much work ahead of us, lest we be foiled by those accursed elements of harmony.”
“Elements of harmony? The fuck is that?”
> NM: “I’d rather not sit here and lecture you on it so come with me. We must follow these mares and prevent them from obtaining the elements.”
“Works for me.”
> After following them into some huge ass forest the six ponies stop near a cliffs edge and Nightmare grins evilly.
> NM: “We can get rid of that brainy unicorn here.”
> She becomes ethereal and leaves you behind a bush and begins to seep into the cliff edge beneath them.
> Suddenly it collapses and four of the six begin to fall straight down while the other two just hover there for a moment. Yeah Nightmare’s got this under control. Holy shit the flying ones barely caught hold of grape drank.
> NM: “Curses, I’ll have to find some other way to stop them.”
“Anyway I can help?”
> NM: “No, I should be able to handle this, in the meanwhile I want you to travel that way and enter a tower that you’ll spot soon enough. Wait for me there and I’ll be back soon enough.”
> Well killing a bunch ponies half her size shouldn’t be all that hard, maybe she’s got a bed there, or maybe even… meat. Yes.
“K, gotta go, bye!”
> You kiss her cheek and take off as fast as you can in the direction she pointed.
> Soon enough you come across a rickety ass bridge.
> The last thousand years have not been kind to it or the ruins on the other side.
> Crossing this bridge will take careful calculated steps… yeah fuck that.
“LEEERROOOYYY JEEEEENKIIIINNSSS!!!”
> You book it with the speed of Kenyans on crack to the other side before the bridge snaps and you make a mad dive to the land on the other side.
“Well, close enough.”
> Besides Nightmare can fly so she’s fine.
> God this place is decrepit.
“Your mom is decrepit.”
> And now you’re burning yourself. Fuck everything man, waiting around sucks.
> After some mindless wandering around the castle a flashing light from one of the towers draws your attention.
> By the time you get there the flashing lights have been replaced by a single bright white one.
> It’s those six ponies Nightmare was trying to get rid of. What the fuck is up with those lights.
> NM: “NOOOOOOO!!!”
> A rainbow of light begins to envelop Nightmare.
“Nightmare! Hold on!!!”
> Flame engulfs your hands as you begin to tear at the magic surrounding Nightmare.
“Damn it! Come on!”
> The light begins spinning more intensely and you can feel the power of it rip flesh from your bones. But you don’t stop. You won’t stop. You don’t even know how to stop.
> The ends of what was once your fingertips sharpen to points against the magical field but soon you make your way through and open a hole wide enough to spot her.
> She looks better than your hands do at this point but that’s not saying much.
“NIGHTMARE!”
> NM: “Anonymous?” Her voice is barely a whisper as the sounds of swirling energy fill the room.
“I’m gonna get you out of there! Just hold on!”
> NM: “I’m sorry Anon, it’s over… the elements win again… just like they did a thousand years ago. Please save yourself.” And with that she closes her eyes.
“No…” is all you can muster before the magic intensifies and blasts you back from her and into a wall.
> Hello darkness my old friend. I’ve come to talk with you again.
