(Sorry, didnt see it till after I posted, but now you can take over Chrysalis and the changeling army.)

Lyria smiled. [colour=#800080]"Let's meet with Chrysalis and form our plan." [/colour][colour=#000000]Lyria disappeared with the Shadowbolts to the Queens' palace. [/colour] [colour=#800080]"Chrysalis! Shall we discuss your side of the attack?"[/colour] [colour=#000000]The queen trotted into the room, and smiled. [/colour][colour=#006400]"We shall."[/colour] [colour=#800080]"I was thinking that after my nightmares have corrupted the entire city of Cloudsdale, we send in some of your troops for the love entilted in that city. Then we hit every other city, wiping them of their defenses, and love, and then head to Canterlot for the big finale." [/colour] [colour=#006400]"Sounds like a plan to me."[/colour][colour=#000000] Chrysalis grinned, and Lyria smiled. [/colour] [colour=#800080]"Cloudsdale is down."[/colour][colour=#000000] Lyria said as her Nightmares arose from the shadows and whispered the details in her ear. [/colour] [colour=#800080]"Let's head out." [/colour][colour=#000000]Lyria grinned, and disappeared with some of the changeling army and Chrysalis to Cloudsdale. The shadows clung to her hooves, greeting her a welcome. [/colour] [colour=#696969]"Your majesty of the night..."[/colour] [colour=#000000]They whispered, and she smiled. The Nightmares started to come to her in hundreds, possibly thousands, from every single pony in Cloudsdale, even the guards. [/colour] [colour=#006400]"The love here... It's so strong! We shall be the strongest ponies alive by the end of the conquer of Equestria!"[/colour][colour=#000000] Chrysalis giggled, and took off, stealing each ponies love. Lyria could tell that her army, and her, were getting stronger from even these small amounts. Until one pony caught her in the distance. Flashbomb.[/colour]

[colour=#800080]"I see..." [/colour][colour=#000000]Lyria thought, and pondered. [/colour][colour=#800080]"Looks like we need some more. NIGHTMARES!!" [/colour][colour=#000000]She called, and the shadows of ponies worst fears and dreams crawled from the shadows. They formed into shadow ponies. [/colour][colour=#800080]"We need you to join the Shadowbolts." "Nightingale, these should help us rule. They have no distinct body form, so-"[/colour][colour=#000000] She kicked one in the chest, and its body re-materialized into its pony form. [/colour] [colour=#800080]"This fact should help us make sure we can't be stopped." [/colour]

Lyria smiled, and shifted into a purple mist of magic and made her way to the Everfree. Her friends needed to come out, and help her lead Equestria. [colour=#800080]"Come my dear Shadowbolts! The princess of the day is captured! Now for the night to rule!" [/colour][colour=#000000]She smiled as they started to appear out of the dark corners of the forest.[/colour]

Lyria smiled, and watched as her nightmares started to corrupt others. [colour=#800080]"Now... For Celestia." [/colour][colour=#000000]She smiled, and flew over to the castle. She walked up to Celestia from behind, now as tall as her, and her wings were more majestic. Her mane flowed gently, a dark nearly black purple. Her light purple fur was now pitch black, and her light blue eyes were crystallized. [/colour]She grabbed the princess, and disappeared into the shadows. [colour=#800080]"Now your banished... To your precious Sun." [/colour][colour=#000000]She giggled, and Celestia disappeared. The moon rose, and she laughed evilly. [/colour]

[colour=#40e0d0]"CloudDasher!!" [/colour][colour=#000000]Dawn turned, and galloped over to her. [/colour][colour=#40e0d0]"We need your help too!" [/colour]

[colour=#800080]"A friend?!? What are you?" [/colour][colour=#000000]She growled.[/colour] [colour=#ff0000]"A Nightmare. And we've been looking for a new queen." [/colour][colour=#000000]They smiled.[/colour] [colour=#800080]"I'm not going to agree!" [/colour] [colour=#ff0000]"We've made our offer very clear-"[/colour] [colour=#800080]"Clear? You know whats crystal clear? That I'm not going to agree! I would never and will never stay here. Equestria is my home."[/colour] [colour=#ff0000]"Oh, but we know that all you ever want to do is help... Without you, our entire existence is meaningless... Your help would save us."[/colour] [colour=#800080]"No! My friends! They need me!"[/colour] [colour=#ff0000]"Do they? Or will they reject you when some other kind, and loving pony comes along?"[/colour] [colour=#000000]Lyria thought for a moment. The thought of her friends abandoning her over took her mind... And Angel, would he leave her for the new pony as well?[/colour] [colour=#800080]"But they wouldn't forget me... Would they?"[/colour] [colour=#ff0000]"Stay with us and your kindness will never be taken for granted, and you will never be forgotten."[/colour] [colour=#000000]A magic beam of light came from the nightmare, and started to come closer to her.[/colour] [colour=#800080]"Never...? I just want to help..."[/colour] [colour=#000000]The light clashed into Lyria's eyes, and the dark shadows started to swirl around her wings and legs. Her eyes glowed with a white intensity, and the Nightmare's smiled.[/colour] [colour=#ff0000]"And you will help... More then you ever dreamed..."[/colour] [colour=#000000]__________________________________________________[/colour] [colour=#40e0d0]"Angel! Angel!" [/colour][colour=#000000]Dawn said, frantically running around. She found Flashbomb instead, and ran up to him, panicking. [/colour] [colour=#40e0d0]"We need to head to the moon, and fast. You, me, Velocity, Angel, Shimmer, and Gadget need to go. Now. Help me round them up. Please." [/colour]

Lyria whimpered, and disappeared into the abyss when the guards arrived. The last thing that was left of Lyria was her hair tie, and nothing else. [colour=#0000cd]"What are we going to do my dear sister?" [/colour][colour=#000000]Luna whimpered. [/colour] [colour=#ff0000]"Welcome young one." [/colour][colour=#000000]A voice called out to Lyria. Lyria blinked, and noticed she was on a throne, and she whimpered. [/colour] [colour=#800080]"Who are you?!?" [/colour][colour=#000000]She screamed.[/colour] [colour=#ff0000]"A friend." [/colour][colour=#000000]The voice smiled, and came out as a misty dark shadow into Lyria's view.[/colour]

[colour=#0000cd]"Can you keep up?" [/colour][colour=#000000]Wolfie giggled, and sped up. [/colour]

Lyria woke up from a nap, which she had been taking quite recently lately. She had been getting extremely bad headaches, and would start passing out randomly. Dawn trotted around her room anxiously. Her mother had told her about the dangers of her friend, and she hadn't slept since. She wanted her to be okay, for it not to happen... But she knew it would. Luna ran over to Celestia. [colour=#0000cd]"Sister! The Nightmares! They are about to take Lyria to the moon to make the final changes to her! The poor thing is getting worse every second, and... Not even I can stop these Nightmares. They are too strong."[/colour] [colour=#000000]Lyria started to wobble around when she stood, and she collapsed on the floor. Something was creeping up her back legs, and she turned. Black misty figures were pulling her to this dark abyss, and she didn't know where to go. She tried to run forward. She screamed loudly, and tried to grab onto something. [/colour] [colour=#800080]"HELP!!"[/colour][colour=#000000] She screamed, [/colour][colour=#800080]"Angel! Luna! Dawn! Anypony! Help!" [/colour]

"[colour=#0000cd]I love you too my dear sister... Don't you forget that." [/colour][colour=#000000]Luna said. [/colour]

Lyria smiled, and started to pack her stuff. [colour=#0000cd]"What are we going to do my dear sister?"[/colour]

Lyria looked to Angel. [colour=#800080]"Shall we?" [/colour] [colour=#000000]Dawn trotted through the Canterlot roads, smiling. She decided to go visit her family to see if they needed any help. [/colour][colour=#40e0d0]"Do you need any help Auntie?" [/colour] [colour=#000000]Luna looked back to her sister. [/colour][colour=#0000cd]"Sister, the one the Nightmare's chose was Lyria. They wanted to have her flying abilities and her great relationships with everypony. [/colour][colour=#0000cd]But the poor thing dosen't even look like she has been corrupted, but I feel the Nightmare's in the back of her mind, like her mind is trying to fight them off."[/colour]

(Im going to add something to the Nightmare Moon problem.) [colour=#0000cd]"Dear Sister, I have something to add." [/colour][colour=#000000]Luna said, and stood. [/colour][colour=#0000cd]"The Nightmares have been trying to get me back as their leader, get me back to Nightmare Moon, as Celestia said. But, I continued to refuse the offers, so they took off in sign of another. I have been checking everyponys' dreams[/colour] [colour=#0000cd]recently, to see whos dreams have been haunted by these Nightmares.. " [/colour] Luna whispered. [colour=#0000cd]"And they have been haunting one of you." "I know who, but you wouldn't know. When they choose a new leader, they secretly start to take over ponies minds, corrupt them, make them think that nopony cares about them, and they act like your conscience. So you don't know that you've been chosen."[/colour]

[colour=#800080]"Yes Princess." [/colour][colour=#000000]Lyria nodded, and follow Celestia.[/colour] [colour=#0000cd]"I shall come along my dear sister." [/colour][colour=#000000]Luna smiles.[/colour]

Lyria took off up into the air, and flew over to Flash. [colour=#800080]"Can I help?" [/colour]

Lyria looked around for the pony that was holding up the ceremony. [colour=#800080]"I wonder where that pony has gotten too..." [/colour]

Lyria smiled. She couldn't wait until she could talk to Angel again. [colour=#000000]She started to smile at him lightly, and waved.[/colour]

Lyria smiled. [colour=#0000cd]"No apologies needed my dear sister." [/colour][colour=#000000]Luna said, looking up at the stage. [/colour] [colour=#000000]Lyria looked around from her seat for a sight of Angel. [/colour]

[colour=#800080]"Hi!!"[/colour][colour=#000000]Lyria smiled, and hugged them both. [/colour][colour=#800080]"I'm fine, and you?" [/colour][colour=#000000]She smiled, and stood before them. Luna smiled, [/colour][colour=#0000cd]"I'm glad to see you young one. It feels like forever since I have." [/colour][colour=#800080]"I know!! I'm so excited to see you two as well!" [/colour]

Lyria stayed next to the course. [colour=#800080]Hm... I wonder if I could do anything to help... [/colour][colour=#000000]She looked over to Angel. [/colour][colour=#800080]"He's busy with photography..." [/colour] [colour=#000000]Luna watched as the pegasi went around the course, and turned to her sister. [/colour][colour=#0000cd]"This is a great Academy... Am I right dear sister?" [/colour][colour=#000000]She looked back to the course, and recognized the purple pegasi. [/colour][colour=#0000cd]"Lyria!" [/colour][colour=#000000]She said quickly, trying to keep her royal stance.[/colour] Lyria listened as her name was called, and turned. [colour=#800080]"Luna!" [/colour][colour=#000000]She smiled, and galloped over to the Princesses. She bowed in front of them. [/colour][colour=#800080]"Hello my majesties." [/colour]

Lyria smiled happily, and looked at Angel and Flash happily.

Lyria smiled at her friend, and then Dawn disappeared. [colour=#800080]"I want to fly!!" [/colour][colour=#000000]Lyria whimpered, and took off in a burst of colour into the sky, spelt The Academy in her colourful explosion, then landed again. [/colour][colour=#800080]"I feel better now." [/colour]

[colour=#40e0d0]"I'm working on a way so it can work indefinitely." [/colour][colour=#000000]Dawn smiles.[/colour]

[colour=#000000]Lyria and Dawn talked, and filled each other in on what was happening. Then Lyria left, and trotted up to Angel, Dawn following beside her.[/colour]
