Nightmare Moon was in a good mood today. And only one thing could make it better-getting what she wanted from a prisoner! When she says "a prisoner," the reader can infer that Nightmare Moon meant Twilight Sparkle, the failed spark. "How funny that her name reflects what she ultimately failed at," Nightmare Moon thought to herself with a chuckle. She silently trotted down a deep spiral staircase into a damp room. The temperature dropped at least five degrees when she entered the prison, and her fur started feeling wetter, for tiny water drops were forming on it. The room was so wet and cold that with a little wind, it could almost be a storm! With a posh smirk, Nightmare headed over to the door labeled 24601. She pushed it open and walked into the room that smelled of famine.
"Hello, Twilight Sparkle," Nightmare Moon projected. She always enjoyed interrogating with a loud voice, "I'm in a good mood today, and I wouldn't want you to ruin it." She sighed, "that sure would make me sad, and you know what happens when I get sad." Nightmare mockingly lowered her eyes and puffed out her lip a pouty way. She paced around the room, eying Twilight's broken body with a smile getting larger and larger every time she counted a new scar. "I always enjoy winning."

"What do you want, Nightmare Moon?" Twilight sat in the corner of her cell, weakly trying to face her jailer. She managed to pull her body up on her three good legs, and stumbled over to the door of her cell.

Nightmare Moon was slightly surprised that Twilight Sparkle still had all this energy even though she looked extremely worse for wear. She smiled, sowing off her fangs, "What do I want? I think you know." Her pace slowed down to a stop, and Nightmare was looking right down at Twilight Sparkle with a wicked glint in her eyes. She bent down, "But just in case you don't, it rhymes with forcher," she whispered mockingly, winking at the guard who stood outside. Torture could please any modern pony, right? That was the new thing, at least in this era. Besides, Nightmare couldn't think of any pony who would have themselves executed just because they refused to watch some torture. Well, whatever. She would get to try out a new toy on Twilight anyway. It was good enough.

Twilight knew better than to try and resist, but she couldn't help it. "You think I haven't been through enough torture already?" She snarled. "I was mauled by a manticore, deserted by the only group of friends I've ever had, and now I'm stuck in this vile prison!" She knew she would most likely be tortured even more for lashing out like that, but she just had to show her anger. She turned her back on Nightmare Moon and stumbled back over to the corner of the cell where she laid. I wish that Princess Celestia had been right, that the Mare in the Moon had just been an old pony's tale... she thought wistfully.

Nightmare Moon was enraged at Twilight Sparkle's "smart response." Her eyes glowed just a little brighter, and her normally decently calm mane flared up. Nightmare didn't care, though, "How dare you speak like that to your queen!" Her voice echoed not only through the whole prison, but through the whole castle. "Torturing her won't do any good. Her body is already broken. I need to attack her mind.....And I know just the way to do it!" Nightmare smiled at Twilight, and flicked her tail at the guard, who pulled down a lever that opened up the wall. But it was not freedom, there was crystal that was formed from the crystal heart itself. It was unbreakable.
"Look at the sky, Twilight Sparkle," Nightmare Moon started, "You can see every constellation in sight. It just makes one want to wonder how strong those constellations really are." She looked over at Celestia's constellation as obviously as she possibly could, letting a little dark magic run down her horn in a threatening way.

Twilight quickly realized Nightmare was threatening to wipe out her mentor... permanently. "No! You can't! She's.... your sister!" Twilight quickly realized she had let a bit of information she shouldn't have slip out, revealing she had been in contact with Celestia. How else would she know they were sisters? Twilight was suprised at her own stupidity

Nightmare Moon always enjoyed surprising people, and she knew just how to this time. She smiled, "Oh, you've been talking with my sister? Good for you, because now you know just how hopeless everything is." Nightmare looked again at Celestia's constellation, "Besides, I was never going to kill her. Just make her scream." Nightmare looked again at Twilight Sparkle, a wicked glow radiating from her dark, amazing body. "Celestia has lived up to her destiny-for now she is a celestial being." She looked at "Celestia" and magic shot from her horn, setting the constellation aflame. You could hear the screaming. But it wasn't just normal screaming, it was like thunder mixed with flutes. It was the sound of a true star crying. Nightmare chuckled a little at first, but it grew into a tremendous and amazingly loud laugh, and she was even still was using her huge voice. "Life is good."

Twilight knew she couldn't give in to Nightmare. But she couldn't ignore the shrieking of her mentor. She pulled all of the magical energy she had in her body and combined it into a shockspell. "STOP IT!" she screamed as she threw the spell at Nightmare Moon. She collapsed, and looked over at Nightmare Moon. I hope that spell worked, at least a small bit. she thought.

Nightmare Moon stopped laughing when she saw Twilight prepping herself for a spell. As the electricity hurdled toward her, Nightmare smiled. "Spell be gone, spell be taken, spell be permanently returned to the heavens," she whispered. From her horn a dark ball emitted, which surrounded the electric charge, then vanishing into midair just like that. Nightmare was left in a not-so-good mood. "How dare you?" she screamed at Twilight. "I will make you pay, you ungrateful little brat!" "Great. Now that little pony brat has gone and ruined my day."

Twilight had no strength left to fight at all. "Do your worst, Nightmare Moon," she said. "But my spirit will never be broken." At that, she blacked out.

Nightmare Moon snorted, then walked off, her day slightly less good. But she had made progress-she showed Twilight Sparkle who was boss. The little unicorn seemed to have taken it personally. Which was very very good. Nightmare nodded to the guards at each door, and slowly made her way up the spiral staircase and into the castle.
