With his last strenght he slowlt started to crowl, away from them. Nightmare areived to his side, shebpicked him up and moved him to a side so he could recover. "Are you ok?" She asked him a little woried. He didn't said anything.
"What the hell were you thinking!" Nightmare yelled at her "He was in no shape to fight!" Darky was looking up, seeing the moon, he then saw Luna in front of him "I- I must... keep fighting..." he whispered to her in a weak voice "...I... m-must fulfill... my dream."
"Where do you get off talking to me like that?!?!" Shattered yelled back "SHUT UP!!!!" Lunis yelled in the canterlot voice.
"..." Nightmare didn't say anything more, she just stared angrily at Shattered. Darky was looking to Luna "...I ... must..." He slowly started to stand up, gave a few steps away from them and stumbled down. "Darky... is too late for that..." Luna said to him in a sad tone. "No..." he said. It looked like if he was talking to the moon.
"THIS WAR ENDS TONIGHT! WHY CANT EQUESTRIA RETURN TO THE WAY IT WAS?!?!? RULED BY CELESTIA AND LUNA?!?!?" Lunis said still using the canterlot voice.
"Darky, your dream can not become true..." Luna said to him "No...no, no, don't say that no..." he started saying in a louder voice. "No, NO, NO! NO! NO! please don't say that..." he yelled as he started to cry. "...no... please... NO!..." he was crying to her, although it looked as if he was crying to the moon. "I'm so sorry... but is the truth..." Luna replied.
Lunis walked over to Nightmare Moon and taking off his necklace handed to her saying "Why doesnt equestria unite as 1 again?" He asked quitley
She didn't said anything. "No... NO!..." Darky continued to yell "NOOOOOOOOO!" this one was so loud that they turned around to see him. "...I- I have failed... everypony..." he said as he grabbed his sword that was just beside him. "Darky... is impossible for you to do it..." Nightmare heard his yell and turned "Darky...?"
Darky saw where he trowed it and slowly walked to where it was, then grabbed it again. "...I- I have failed..." he said in a weak voice. "DARKY! PLEASE DON'T DO IT...! Luna said in panic. He then pointed his sword to his belly. "I- I just wanted to see everypony happy... " he started to say "...Lunis... the pony with him..." He then started crying again, but more intensely "... my brother... Nightmare... even you..." he said to her. He felt the cold steel of the sword in his fur. "...I- I can't take it... any longer..." "DARKY!" Nightmare yelled to Darky in panic as she started running to him.
Lunis thinking fast grabbed the sword and tossed it to nightmare moon then grabbed him like a foal saying "Shhhh quite you have seen alot." He was talking in a soothing voice
"I- I..." Darky was completely broken, he didn't knew what to do, or say or anything. He was just crying in there. Nightmare left the sword at her side and went with them, with her head down and eyes closed. As she arrived Darky saw her, and at her side saw Luna.
Lunis handed Darky to Nightmare and said, "This is what war does to ponies." Lunis said sadness showing on his face to Darky he added, "You have not failed my friend you just strayed from the correct path."
Darky was still crying as Lunis said that. Nightmare didn't said anything, although she didn't wanted to admit it, she was feeling terrible of everything, specially to what had become of Darky. She didn't knew why she felt like that or why she cared so much about him, but at that very moment she didn't even care, she just felt better knowing that Darky was ok. Without saying anything she put him on her back and flew back to the castle. The guards that where fighting went back inside as well and the battle was practically over.
Lunis called out to his soldiers "We will try and arrange a peace treaty tomorrow." much to their delight.
nightmare went to her room and left Darky in her bed. She felt better knowing that he was in there, safe. She laid by his side and started to sleep, making a slight cuddle to him. Darky was looking to the ceiling. He recognized and realized he was back in the castle. He noticed that he wasn't cuffed this time, shortly afterwards he felt asleep.
the next morning Lunis and 2 royal guards approached the castle as he called out to the night guards "We wish to discuss a treaty with Nightmare moon."
The guard on the door replied back "Yes, she should be sleeping right now. I'll send a guard to tell her you are here." He turned to another guard, whispered something to him, then the guard nodded and went inside running. "Come inside in the mean time." He said opening the doors for them.
Lunis walked in confidently with the royal guards at his side. They clearly did not trust nightmares soldiers
