Description
I tried to update with revised version, but the original crashed and it had to be taken down. Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for the feedback. Yet again, Happy belated Nightmare Night!, and to all mexican deviants: Β‘Feliz DΓa de Muertos!Update: EQD feature! So awesome! On a side note, so many people pointing out how similar the transformation is to that of Venom... can't unsee that now.
Update 2: Well, other than the fact that what consumed Luna wasn't gooey and she wasn't grieving at the time it happened, it seems this theory of "darkness takes over" might actually be correct!

I gotta say, I can't blame Luna for going bad after seeing Celestia's sand castle. I mean, c'mon, they're fillies, but it's as if the Princess of the Day is TRYING to be a show-off.

Cayde:*szraak* wow that was close!... Hello? Who's there?
Nightmare: the instrument of your demise!*shoots laser*
Cayde:you really think that's enough to kill me? Wow. No wonder you are as good as dead. Never underestimate your enemy.*out of what seems to be the back comes a death machine* I'm not a killer, but if you don't take control Luna, then I'm going to help you out.
Nightmare: Luna is long gone. You won't ever see her again.
Cayde: the truth is where you seek it.*fires a few shots and hits 2 of them*
Luna: please, get out of here! It will take you too!
Cayde: I've faced far worse.*puts some of the material in a test tube and transforms it into data* the sample will be confirmed after a minute.
Nightmare: enough of this! If I can't have Luna, then I'll take you.
Cayde: fireteam! Assemble!*2 more ponies appear with weapons of the light* take out the material on Luna's skin!
The ending is up to you.

A comic done in traditional media? That's unique already.
You retold Luna's story beautifully.

Is that supposed to be a spider-manesque symbiote or something?

Copypaste from one of my earlier comments: "It looks like that for a series of reasons: first of all, it's an amorphous mass of something because the way I see it evil has no actual shape; then I decided it should be sticky because that way it would be more evident how Luna is trying to fight it on panel 13, and last but not least, it's black because that's the color of Nightmare Moon's skin. The result: some black gooey blob that awfully resembles the symbiote that later became Venom."

THIS is a better explanation than the one in season 4! And it's better drawn!

That is what probably realy happened.
If it was only Luna's dark side she would be turned to stone like Discord. But Luna was victim here because she was possesed by Nightmare. Alone Celestia didn't have strenght to cleanse her so she put her to sleep by banishing her and Nightmare in the moon until there were new element bearers.

On one note: Very heart-tugging
On other note: The darkness just now reminded me of the Venom symbiote
On an entirely different note: NIGHTSHADOW154!!! WHY YOU RIP OFF MY EVIL SMILE!?!

Ohnoes, it's a pony princess Venom. How'd Symbiote get there?

I still much prefer the idea of Nightmare Moon being Luna's own dark side rather than some alien invader. It feels more character driven.

Maybe the whole possession scene was only happening inside Luna's mind, maybe it's some evil spirit that took advantage of her vulnerability, it could even be some evil being that was born out of her own bad emotions. I've seen some interesting interpretations of this comic on the comments, so I suppose it's ambiguous enough for you to come up with your own vision of what really happened here. In the end, what I was trying to do is show how people (or ponies in this case) can change when they feel ignored and underestimated, and how letting your emotions take full control of your actions can lead to bad things.

I always enjoy these kind of, origin comic strips about luna. I like the comforting stance nightmare moon takes to worm her way in.

Wonderful storyboard of Luna's possession by the shadow forces. Though I believe Luna trapped in a cage of shadow, would have been more appropriate for the last panel, but then again you can't argue with results.
