(Arcel)

They arrive there in little time with little trouble, the entrance already open, a huge rock split down the middle on a track of some kind, if it had been closed it would be easily missed. The first area within is line with what seems like at least 100 full suits of armor for Unicorn ponies, holding togeather on there own, bits of Nightmarium lining there outer layers making them magic resistant, the parts holding the Nightmarium being designed to reflect its negating properties away from the armors to maximise effect. There seems to be some sort of control room above the entrnace, and the lighting is minimum, so not much can be seen beyond the entrance.

Arcel quickly gets to examining the armor, “… this is… strange… why would he design armor… that almost looks like it would require a Unicorn to put on… then make it have magic negating properties?”

Nightmare Moon examines it as well.

“We don’t know. It would make sense to armour earth ponies in such a fashion… perhaps he solved the two-way problem! Our researchers have been studying ever since nightmariums discovery to find a way to make it unidirectionally porous to magic. These suits may reflect magic without inhibiting the wearers ability to use it…”

*She’s waiting on the bed, lying on her side and looking at the door when Starbuck arrives.*

Well, We’ve never had a problem with the size difference (We’re usually on top anyway) but if it would make you more comfortable… *She shrinks herself down to normal pony size.*

That depends. If they were merely unable to activate the Elements, We would still have to kill them, just to be sure. However, if We had been able to destroy the Elements before they arrived (like We had planned) there would be nothing they could do to harm Us, and We would be able to use them however We wished.

We would keep Rarity as a pet, of course. Twilight would be reeducated to serve Us. Applejack We would place on a chain gang (to use some of that impressive strength). Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie would be placed in laboratories, to study the sonic rainboom and Pink energy, respectively. Fluttershy We suppose We would allow to go free, since We really can’t think of anything to do with her, and there’s no way she would be able to form a resistance group against Us or anything like that.

Let’s go then.

*She leaves with the clone and heads over to the facility.*

Ah, so you have worked out the problems with Typewryter then? Of course. Join Us in Our bedchambers whenever you are ready. We’ll be waiting.

The bandits immediately sight on Nightmare Moon and open fire, however their bullets do nothing but bounce off her shield, even their sentry turrets do nothing. Eventually she reaches an elevator, oddly guarded by a man in armor who activates it to go up.

The top level of the city is far cleaner, and strange ads dot the massive buildings. It seems as if the top level is on lockdown, with heavily armed special police patrolling the streets and watching key points. Nightmare Moon can make out the faint shapes of snipers in the backdrop.

This would be a lot harder then originally planned. The target seems to be a large government looking building, which also has the highest concentration of soldiers.

Nightmare Moon dismisses her shield and confidently walks toward the building as if she owned the place, trying to bluff her way past the guards.

You know what? We’re feeling a bit wild. Let’s go dancing!

…Wait wait wait.

One of Our enemy’s champions, one of the ones responsible for Our defeat and near destruction, is asking to help Us?

*She listens to a soldier’s report.*

It seems the site doesn’t appear to be trapped in any way. Would you like to accompany Us on Our inspection?

We aren’t evil. We just make the hard choices and do what We must for the betterment of everypony, whether they want Us to or not. And if We can’t make an omelette without breaking a few legs, well, then there’s no use crying over spilt blood.
