So We had best redouble Our efforts to return her to ponydom, then. Tell Us, do you remember the methods We tried that failed? It would save time if We could skip them.

*Sigh* We will hug you, but on one condition: give two hugs to Luna.

And alone for all that time? We suppose even magic may not pull answers from your shattered mind, but We can still try. Best to do it in a proper laboratory, however.

*Nightmare Moon concentrates, and her horn glows. Tendrils of magic seep into the wall, attempting to find weaknesses in it to shatter it without harming its occupant.*

The castle is in ruins (those sections that are aboveground, anyway) but the city itself sustained only moderate damage.

((ooc: Too many other blogmod’s characters live in Moon City now to wipe the whole thing off the map, so lets say the fighting was entirely centred on the castle.))

Of course. We understand. *She sighs.* We suppose We haven’t been as supportive of you as We should lately, either. We tried to take advantage of your discorded state and it got out of hand. Had We known what was going to happen, We would have cured you of it immediately.

We will try to find a way to make it Up to you. If you require anything else, do not hesitate to ask.

How many times must We tell you ponies that We are not evil!? We merely take actions that may, to the unenlightened observer, appear evil, but are actually necessary for the good of everypony! And who the buck is Wesker!?

Always, Arcel. What is the matter?

How!? *Sigh* We need to know how We killed her in your timeline, so We can avoid it in Ours.

We had plans to attempt to return her to ponyhood. Did they go wrong?

*Nightmare Moon awkwardly tries to put a wing around the new Avenger comfortingly.* That cannot be, at least not for this timeline. We are sorry to be the one to tell you this, but in this line the Avenger is already dead, and definitely not by Our hoof. Some human killed her by accident, or so We heard.

ask-nightmaremoon:

Hello, Luna. As always, seeing you is the highlight of Our existence.

*Glares at Celestia.*

*Luna shies away from Nightmaremoon, moving closer to her sister while Celestia meets the glare with a steady gaze*

Celestia: This is very interesting indeed. How are you possible?

In Our timeline, the Elements were not able to destroy Us fully, but merely tore Us from Our beloved Luna and set Us adrift without form. Since then We have managed to obtain a body of Our own and regain much of Our former power. *She grins* Who knows. Maybe some surprise is lurking in your timeline’s Everfree, just waiting for it’s opportunity.

*She turns to Luna.* Even if you are diverged from the Luna We know, you do not need to fear Us. We will always do whatever is best for any Luna.
