mylittlejamjar | Exit Light, Enter Night [Visual] (Forwarded to Nightmare Night)

(The first thing that that appears on the visual are the final moments of this thread. Nightmare Moon's face is clearly visible to the viewers, all the way until she closes up the scroll.

For minutes, there's simply radio silence.

Some time later, the scroll is once again unrolls with Nightmare Moon's form once again visible to all. Her wings are unfurled and her voice clear.)

My fellow Equestrians...how wonderful it is to see you all again. It's been so long since my previous visit...but it pleases me to see you haven't forgotten your true ruler. Now that I've made myself comfortable, I can return to taking the throne that's rightfully mine, but not before I can take part in the festivities. An entire holiday just for me? It's as if you've already accepted me as your true princess.

In that regard, my subjects, I promise you'll be able to enjoy my holiday for as much as you'd like. In fact, you can enjoy it for the rest of your lives, for the night...will last...forever!

(Cue the evil laughter as her mane ominously swirls behind her into the form of the night sky. Happy Nightmare Night, Equestria.)

Then you shall accompany us in our campaign to stop this demon where she stands.

Rest assured, we have not forgotten about your other self. However, if she is truly within Zetta's demesne, then either she is wise enough to keep herself hidden, or it is too late to protect her. Charging in after her will only endanger the true Elements of this world.

I just can't help but be worried about her... well, more than I have been.

Besides, I think she might be just as capable of using the Element as I am.

We understand. However, any actions we could take would only put her or ourselves in greater danger. We must stay our hooves until we are certain that we are ready for a coordinated attack.

Well, you would have more experience with this kind of thing... right?

We know what we were, and we are only acting based on how we would react to such things.

It is entirely possible this is not our native self, however.

I know.

[She thinks quickly.]

We must figure out if this is our native self or not first and foremost. If it is...

Then she may be beyond redemption. And we all must be prepared for that.

We don't know that yet. And I don't want to think about it.

Although, if it isn't her, there may be nothing to redeem.
