Apparently, a version of Us in an alternate universe is also answering questions.
What kind of universe has a Nightmare Moon that is attracted to Twilight Sparkle? Not any sort of universe We would ever want to live in, that’s for sure.
Nightmare Moon lashes around with her horn, striking at the remaining illusions.
“You’re not real! And even if you were, We’d still be obliterating you! Give Us back Our Arcel!!!!”
They break, the world distorts more, making everything but the Gazebo a blur, and one more then as it appeared, a impossibly large, burning version of Princess Celestia appeared, standing Over the entire Gazebo, glaring down at her, “… you shall now perish for your foolishness!” it bellowed, fake fires spreading.
((OOC:… absolute last obsitcal I swear… I know I am dragging this out to long… sorry…))
“No… NO! WE HATE YOU!!!! HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE!!!!!!!!”
Nightmare Moon blasts the illusory Celestia with scorching black flames, blowing a hole through the non-illusory castle roof.
Nighmare Moon lowered her horn and charged at the illusory Twilight.
“Not again! We will not make the same mistakes again.”
The Illusionary Twilight’s eyes widen, right before she is shattered by the ramming Nightmare, the dream not progressing how it normaly does, it warps and things continue to become less normal looking, the remaining of the Mane 6 advance, looking anywhere from overly stretched out to down right wrong, one even somehow looking more dragonish.
The illusion finaly spreads far enough to start leaking into Ponyville.
Nightmare Moon lashes around with her horn, striking at the remaining illusions.
“You’re not real! And even if you were, We’d still be obliterating you! Give Us back Our Arcel!!!!”
“What… What is this?” Nightmare Moon prods at her doppelganger’s corpse. “Where’s Arcel… TELL ME!” She casts another illusion purge, and looks around quickly for Arcel.
The corpse warps, then breaks apart, distintgrating is more like it, like a rappidly rotting corpse, soon to bone, then to dust, then to nothing, and the Gazebo was all that was left, though she did hear Arcel moaning in what sounded like pain and sorrow from inside, another thing might have taken her notice.
6 individual sets of hoove steps coming from outside, the forest like enviroment somehow now looking like that of the moon, approaching from all sides, were demonic and twisted versions of the mane 6, all except for Twilight, who looked normal, save for a pair of large orange sun glasses.
The fake Twilight was first to speak, “We will make you pay for your crimes, you shall never harm anypony Ever again!” The dream elements were activating, but the colors were far darkers and didn’t look quite right.
Arcel’s voice floated from inside, “… no… no…. leave her… Nightmare… please not again…” crying heard in his voice.
Nighmare Moon lowered her horn and charged at the illusory Twilight.
“Not again! We will not make the same mistakes again.”
Walls are little impediment to an alicorn who’s loved one is threatened. Nightmare Moon bursts through the wall like the Kool-aid Man, and rushes into the gazebo.
((OOC: first off…. ^That is the best Reblog freaking ever, seriously xD))
Inside, no sign of Arcel it seems, but laying there, an eeriely accurite version of herself laying there, body broken and battered, eyes open, but with life long since snuffed out of them.
((OOC: Arcel is there, just… hidden by the illusion))

>like the Kool-Aid Man
And any pretenses of me being able to consider this a serious situation fly out the window.
((ooc: I couldn’t help myself!))
“Arcel! Hold on, We’re coming for you!” Nightmare Moon tried casting the illusion purge spell she previously used on Dark Descent.
The magic sparked and to a normal unicorn it would have felt like a zap, the illusion twisting a bit, changing but not breaking, unstable and unclear, she could now clearly see into where the room should be beyond a the still there wall(problem with illusions, they can make things appear real, but they can’t make real things intangible XD), what she sees laying there though is not Arcel, but a gazebo where the bed should be, the interior can’t be seen, but sticking out partialy from one part is a win, black, and feathers torn up, not moving either.
The Illusion continued to spill forth throughout the castle and beyond.
(OOC:… too soon for Ponyville to be hit perhaps… and it might not if Nightmare can wake Arcel/break the unstable illusions…)
Walls are little impediment to an alicorn who’s loved one is threatened. Nightmare Moon bursts through the wall like the Kool-aid Man, and rushes into the gazebo.
The knocking seem to set something off, the door seemed to fade from sight, being replaced by a window into a twisted forest, like the Everfree Forest had all the trees died leaving just twistd black husts and claw like branchs, the illusion continued to spill out from the where the door was(is but concealed), filling the hallway partialy and changing that as well.
Outside the castle the illusion spread as well, through Arcels window, the upper floor turing into the top of a cliff face in the illuision as it spilled out.
“Arcel! Hold on, We’re coming for you!” Nightmare Moon tried casting the illusion purge spell she previously used on Dark Descent.
Arcel layed down to rest, but sleep brought him no comfert as the nightmares returned, more vivid then before, images of Nightmares fall returning to him, more vivid then before, it haunted him.
Instead of just imprisonment, images of Nightmare falling, being consumed by darkness, images of her dieing filled his mind, he whined in hit sleep as the nightmares raveged his mind.
His magic suddenly came alive on its own, the room around him twisting as his illusion magic filled the space, remaining still for the moment, but begining to shift, the room and its contents started to become unnatural and twisted to reflect the Nightmarish state his dreams were in.
((OOC:… why not, make it a plot xD))
Nightmare Moon yawned. Finalising the celebration plans was exhausting work, even for her. That, combined with a distinct lack of sleep the past few days, had made her extremely exhausted. As she approached her bedchamber, she noticed tendrils of magic escaping from Arcel’s adjoining bedroom.
She knocked on Arcel’s door. “Arcel, is everything all right?”
