Line 61: Line 61:
Once caught, the player is shown Luna lying back down on the ground from the first scene where she took a nap, implying that it was a nightmare of sorts. After a moment, she stands up and starts to see some shadow ponies. For some of the ponies, dialogue can appear which are typically vague such as "From Ashes to Shadows..." while others simply pace back and forth. After some static flashes, the text above the ponies heads will change along with their original sprites. Fortunately, the player is now able to sprint, but it leads them to approach towards a shadowy Nightmare Moon. With Luna moving closer to Nightmare Moon, another creepy song starts to play accompanied by a heartbeat. From there, more static appears and the screen changes into black.

However, that is not all, for the aforementioned ending is 1 of 2 endings that the player can get. In this case, it is the bad ending as it insinuates that Luna either died or never woke up. In the good ending, the screen cuts to black like before, except this time text appears reading "Princess Luna?" Luna is then shown surrounded by the Mane Six, as a happy melody plays in the background. Twilight claims that Luna had passed out after helping Pinkie Pie to get her candies, and Luna says that she had some nightmares. Pinkie proposes for them to throw a party to make her feel better, and Luna agrees with such an idea, but notes that something still feels off. Twilight questions Luna's words, and she quickly replies that it is "nothing..." in an ominous way. Right before the game closes, during a few frames, Pinkie Pie's sprite changes into Pinkamena as a loud boom noise plays in the background, suggesting that Luna's ending may not be so "happily ever after" after all.
