Our ground forces can't advance beyond his crystal field...

And you know what he can do to our pegasi, unable to defend their minds with magic.

tch

We only need a small window of attack. He's lost a lot of ground.

The elements should dispose of him.

And if they don't?

Why would they fail?

Hypothetically speaking...

Well, hypothetically speaking-

-we're prepared just in case.

Hmph. Indeed. He knows not what forces he is tampering with.

Let us not stay his end further.

...Is that it?

Show yourself, coward!

diembodied laughter

It's OVER Sombra! YIELD!

So... MUCH...

HATRED!

You speak of cowardice...

Have you forgotten whose domain you are in?

I care not what dark pacts you've made!

You WILL fail!

It seems even the gods lack purity in their hearts...

I can taste your wrath...

And it is DELICIOUS.

SILENCE YOU CUR!

Show yourself!

Oh, sister...

Thank goodness...

...No...

Luna... please...

Sister... It doesn't need to be like this!

LUNA!

Relentless...

Why such lengths to protect your petty imperialistic interests?

You're a fool if you think that's what I'm trying to protect.

Release me.

In due time

I was curious as to why your sister would fear you...

It seems she is right to do so.

She does not fear me.

You shall see before long.

Do you think she honestly understands the night and all its glory?

Do not pretend you do in turn.

Oh, I understand perfectly.

You find me to be a tyrant, yet the best kind of slave is one who is willing.

SILENCE!

You can deny my warnings all you wish.

It won't change your fate.

Save your breath...

Even if by some miracle you were to defeat me, you'd only soon fall to your sister.

Why be forced to choose?

Equestria will see many a foe in its future.

Would it not make sense for us to stand against them together?

We would sooner take our own lives than submit to you.

Submit? Just like you have to your sister?

I admire your resolve.

You are strong.

Far more fit to rule, far more deserving of repect-

-than Celestia.

You have an opportunity now, to take her place.

Together, we can show the nation what it truly means to fear the night.

You are a fool...

So be it.

Such a shame...

You think you've found an ally in darkness?

Do you comprehend the powers you were GIFTED with?

The same powers I was BORN into...?

Where do you think the shadows all go to hide from the precious light?

Just who do you think stands against them?

What you possess is a mere fraction of their might...

The same might I stand unyielding against each and every night.

STAY BACK!

You are NOTHING compared to them...

You are NOTHING compared to ME!

YOU CLAIM TO KNOW FEAR!?

I SHALL SHOW YOU TRUE TERROR!!

What... are you..?

I... am a Nightmare.

Luna?!

What is it?

Thank goodness you're alright...

Where are we...?

What happened to-...

Sombra is no more...

But, the Empire... he... I...

To banish an entire empire like that...

How much hatred and power were we truly facing...?

I'm just grateful you're unharmed, and were able to get us out safely.

We'll need to bear news of this defeat to our subjects..

Not every fight will be a victory.

Come. It's cold.

Let us return home.
