>Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker clashed across the countryside 
>A raging battle without end
>minutes passed, then hours, then days
>until finally, the barrage of beams stopped
>Both monarchs glared at each other from across the way
>Finally Nightmare Moon spoke up
>”It’s no use, we’re too evenly matched”
>”Says you!” Daybreaker yelled before firing another bolt
>Nightmare deflected it before firing her own which was deflected in kind
>”See!?” Moon said pointing 
>”So, now what?”
>”We’ll have to prove we’re superior in some other manner!” 
>”Such as? Who can be the darkest and more brooding?” Day said in a mocking voice.
>”Who can uhhh, sing the best!?”
>The two of them opened their mouths and took a breath
>But both suddenly stopped and shook their heads
>”No no no no, that’d be too silly”
>”Right”
>“Just as well, you’d probably scare any kids you got near to sing.”
>”I’ll have you know that I STILL defend the dreams of my subjects, and the children ADORE me!”
>”You can’t even have kids!” Daybreaker chided
>”Can too!”
>”Prove it!”
>”Fine! You and I! We’ll bear the best our wombs can conceive! That will be the deciding factor of who is truly best!”
>”I can do that! Don’t cower in a corner when I reveal my glorious progeny when you can’t even get a stallion to bed you!”
>”8 months! Then we meet back here!” Nightmare Moon declared before flying off into the night

>Neither side wasted any time with their conceptions 
>In the glorious dining hall of the Radiant Palace, a banquet fit for the highest nobility lay spread across the massive table.
>But there was no nobility visiting today, only the entire garrison of the Day Guard crammed in the hall
>Most of the poor ponies didn’t know what to do with themselves besides just stand and wait
>Then, their glorious leader entered
>A warm glow emanating from her as she spread her wings
>”My dear guards, why so tense? This is all for you! Eat and drink to your hearts content!”
>Once she entered the room however, the double doors rabidly shut and locked.
>”On ONE condition….Not a single one of you may leave this room until. Every. Single. One of you plows me like the Queen I am! You shall worship me with your bodies! Your seed shall the tribute to the temple of my body!”
>More than a few guards stared wide eyed in disbelief 
>She then turned, bent over, and revealed her magnificent orange folds to them.
>”Get busy”

>Meanwhile in the Moonlight Palace, things were being conducted a tad differently.
>The entirety of the Moon Guard was lined up single file down the length of the throne room in silence.
>Nightmare Moon walked down the front of the line, inspecting every single soldier at her disposal.
>Some were fresh recruits from the various villages, others were battle-scarred veterans that had seen their share of war.
>She passed all of them by, determined to find the perfect one
>Then, she stopped in front of one bat pony.
>He was no green horn, but the spark of youth still remained in his eyes, and something else….
>”What’s your name?”
>”Comet Sweeper, your highness.” He said calmly.
>”How long have you served under me, Comet?”
>”Two years.”
>In truth, she didn’t really need to ask all this
>she had seen his face before
>She had seen his dreams, time and time again.
>His desire to serve her, inspiring him as a young colt to join the Moon Guard 
>His rigorous training, outperforming his fellow classmates at the academy
>All in the hope that one day, she would notice him
>And now she stood before him, judging him.
>”The rest of you are dismissed” was her only command.
>Obediently, the other bat ponies cleared out of the throne room.
>Leaving only the bat and his lovely queen
>He could feel her turquoise eyes piercing through his amber ones
>And then, she motioned him to follow, leading him behind to throne
>Behind it was a set of double doors
>Within, her private chambers
>A lovely room of dark pillows, candles, and a luxurious bed. All lightly smelling of lavender.
>Once he entered, she closed the door behind them
>As she approached, her armor seemed to disintegrate into a fine purple dust, revealing the entirety of her body to him
>Those dark nipples, her bare nether, every curve and contour of her body
>It was a sight few ever dreamed of seeing, and it was all laid for him 
>Placing a hand on his chest, she guided him over to the bed and pushed him onto it.
>”You have served me well, little Comet. Now it is time for you to be rewarded.”
>And with that, she was upon him

>The months came and went and soon it was time for the two queens to reveal their bounties to the other.
>A hour before the scheduled confrontation, Daybreaker was waddling down the halls of her palace 
>Flaunting her massive cream colored belly full of foals in her finest bikini to anyone that passed her
>They were her subjects? They were to worship her fertile belly! 
>Caress it! Lick it! It didn’t matter! It was to be adored by!
>Still, she couldn’t get her mind off the confrontation that was to come, always having a sense of…unease
>Nervous? She couldn’t be nervous! She was the avatar of the freaking sun and all its power!
>”You!” She said, pointing to a random maid who froze in place
>She hadn’t marveled at her belly today!
>”W-what?”
>Suddenly she was pinned against the wall, a gigantic orange belly smooshed against her face. 
>A foal kicking her through the strained flesh
>"You think you can top this?"
>"No, your highness!" 
>"You sure?"
>"Yes your highness!"
>”Good” She said, letting the pressure off the maid’s face and allowing her to scurry off down the hall.
>Had to remind them from time to time who was still in charge after all

>Nightmare Moon was in her private chambers putting on her clothes
>Or at least what passed for clothes on her these days 
>Her pregnant bely made wearing her old armor impossible
>So instead, she had to resort to what was effectively a plate mail bikini
>With her now engorged breasts mostly covered, she inspected herself in the mirror.
>What was once her middle was now a great dark orb teeming with life.
>Her hands idly came to rest on the shiny dome, admiring her progress 
>A pair of hands from behind came to rest beside her own on her great expanse as a familiar face came to rest on her shoulder
>”How do I look?”
>”Beautiful, my Moon” Comet answered.
>She smiled, but looked off to the side
>”Nervous?”
>”What? No!” She said in a huff, looking off to the side before making eye contact with him through the mirror again, prompting a sigh.
>”Well, ok. Maybe a little.” 
>He drew slow circles across her tummy for a moment before answering.
>”My gracious Moon. You are the greatest gift bestowed upon Equestria. A guiding to all and, the mother of my children. You will not fail, I know it.” He said with confidence. 
>She gave a nod and a smile before giving him a kiss
>”Now, we have a stubborn sun spot to meet.”

>The field was bare on the crisp summer evening
>save two armies on each side
>One dazzling gold, the other ebon black
>And standing in front of each was the physical goddess of their respective natures
>Both nearly ripe with the fruit of their wombs 
>After a stare-down for almost half an hour, the two alicorns made their approach to the middle of the field
>They were twenty-five feet away, then fifteen, ten-
>they passed any respective comfort zone and were standing as uncomfortably as possible to each other as their immense bellies would allow
>their belly buttons grazing the other as they inspected the other in silence 
>It was Daybreaker that broke the silence by cackling 
>”What?”
>”You call that big? I’m brighter than your dark small moon!
>Nightmare Moon frowned
>”You may be bigger, but at least my size is decent!”
>Daybreaker just rolled her eyes 
>”Face it, sister. I have more foals than you, which means I’m superior and clearly the wi-“
>Her gloating was cut short as a sharp kick struck her womb, making her back up with a gasp
>But it didn’t come from within, it came from outside, from Nightmare Moon’s belly
>Even the dark alicorn was taken a back for a moment
>Then a smile creeped up her face
>”As they say, “Sister.” Quality over quantity.” 
>”Wha!? But that doesn’t count! Mine can kick too!”
>The orange alicorn grabbed her belly from both side and gave it a hefty jiggle
>”Come on, babies! Kick for mommy!” She ordered.
>She stared intently on her belly for a few seconds, hoping for some grand roundhouse kick
>instead, she got a much smaller, tiered kick. 
>She looked back up, seeing Moon’s unwavering smile

>The sun goddess was forced to swallow her pride.
>”Fine, a draw for now.”
>”I can live with that.”
>”But don’t think you’ve won! I’ll go into labor first! I’ll give birth before you!”
>Moon just rolled her eyes.
>”How about we settle on after they’re born? Then we can settle their superiority properly.”
>”Fine! You’ll still lose all the same!”
>”Riiight.” Moon said as she turned to returned to her army.
>Daybreaker just stamped her foot, flared her wins, and turned away to stomp back to her faction as well.
>She had some brooding to do

>3 months later
>Daybreaker was sprawled out in her throne, panting as her belly heaved up and down in front of her
>The day had finally arrived for her children to come into this world
>And the world was going to know it!
>With a cry, her stomach clench again
>a jet of steaming forewater nearly splashing one of her guards that elected to be the midwives
>the air was already getting thick as the temperature in the throne room was slowly beginning to rise
>”Mmm, yes my dear children! It’s time to show Equestria your glory!”
>Her wings flared, her body immolating
>Her midwives dropped any illusionary pretense of helping and bolted for the doors out of fear of being turned to ash.
>With a scream that shattered the stained glass, there was a sudden splash, and then everything went still
>One of the midwives finally mustered their courage and peaked in the door
>multi-colored glass littered the floor, the sun proudly pouring through the newly made holes
>the carpet laced with scorch marks 
>And still on her thrown, was Daybreaker
>holding a steaming, crying infant
>The guards slowly made their approach before dropping into bows
>”He’s beautiful.” One of them declared 
>”Like it was an impossibility.” She said, quieting her child’s cry by offering him her breast.
>”Yes, my dear. Grow big and strong for Mommy.”
>There was a brief quiet where everyone took in the private scene, until Daybreaker winced in tandem with her belly quivering again.
>”You might want to run, there’s another one on the way.” She said as fire began to ignite on her wing tips again.

>Under a moonlight sky, rest an untouched glade 
>In its center was a single grand oak three, and beneath it a small flowing stream surrounded by bioluminescent lilies and fireflies
>Against the moonless purple sky and stars, two figures were making their way across the field 
>As they approached the stream, the natural glow illuminated them
>Nightmare Moon, bare and holding her belly stopped just short of the stream alongside her consort
>”Are you sure you want to do this out here?”
>”For last time, Comet, yes. If I am to bring these children into the world, it will be on my terms!”
>She looked up
>”They’ll be born under this sacred night, not in some old dusty castle.”
>”As you wish.” He said dutifully as he set his pack down, filled with supplies
>Nightmare Moon slowly stepped into the stream, having to stop for a moment to become acclimated to the cold water
>Finally, she sat down, the top of her dark belly cresting the water
>Comet squatted down behind her, holding her under her armpits in case she lost her footing
>Once she was in position, she simply closed her eyes, and breathed slowly
>For a long while, under that still night, she labored in silence
>Then, she tensed up, her muscled straining under Comet’s hands
>She bore down for a moment, her legs rising a bit out of the water 
>Then when the contraction ends, she slumped back against her chosen bat pony, her belly causing ripples through the water as it twitched
>”You can do it.” He whispered in her ear.
>She could, she knew she could.
>She bared down again a light scream escaping her gritted teeth
>the pressure was building, a burning sensation gnawing between her legs
>and then, there was a give
>reflexively, she shot her hands forward and into the water, feeling for something
>Comet looked over her should, holding his breath
>And then, carefully, she brought a foal to the surface of the water
>a cry breaking the silence as the crisp air hit its face
>”It’s…it’s a girl.” He said, in awe of the foal.
>Nightmare Moon nuzzled her firstborn
>”Hello, my little star.”
>Carefully she guided her daughter to her chest, who readily accepted one of the dark breasts. 
>”I can see why they kicked so hard, she’s so big!” he declared 
>”Need I repeat the line? Quality over quantity.” Moon said beaming, before her face contorted a bit.
>”Speaking of which, you might need to take her soon. I can feel one of her siblings making their descent.”

>One week later
>Once again the two armies stood across from one another
>And in the center of the field were Daybreaker and Nightmare Moon
>One Day’s side two guards held a large crib from both ends
>One Moon’s side, Comet held an ebon one
>Daybreaker tapped her foot on the grass
>”Let’s get this over with.” She declared, prompting the two sides to set the two cribs down besides each other.
>Daybreaker’s foals were looking around curiously taking in all the sights, sounds, and strange figures around them
>Nightmare Moon’s foals, being of a nocturnal nature, we’re more content to simply rest in their cribs
>Oh so gently, Nightmare Moon picked on up
>”I trust in you.” She whispered to her daughter before setting her and her three siblings into the golden crib
>briefly awakened, the dark foals fumbled around the 
>the golden foals eager to examine their new neighbors approached excitedly
>the night ponies, sensing no immediate danger, began to fall back asleep one by one
>Nightmare Moon looked up at her rival nervously
>Daybreaker was donning her most wicked smile.
>”Now my dearest children, finish them!”
>Her children however, agreed with their cousins’ decision. Now WAS a good time for a nap!
>And suddenly they too began to fall asleep 
>some side by side, other sprawled on top of each other like a sleepy mosh pit
>”What? No! You’re supposed to fight them! Not nap with them!”
>”You must admit though” Moon started. “It is kinda cute.”
>”I will not!” Daybreaker spat, looking away before taking a glance back down in the crib
>”Ok, maybe a little…”
>”Soooo?” Nightmare Moon asked, raising an eyebrow.
>”A truce, for now. Clearly they’re not ready for the trials of combat yet. I mean yours, not mine of course!” She stated
>”Riiiight.” The dark goddess said as she carefully levitated her children out of the golden crib
>”Till next time, “sister!” Daybreaker yelled as her and her army marched away
>”And same to you…sister.” Moon said looking down at her still sleeping foals
>She felt a hand on her should
>”Still not a win.” He said
>”But not a lose either” she finished
