Talk:Princess Twilight Sparkle - Part 2/@comment-26973802-20131106053944

Here's my prediction. Luna dies in this episode, either killed by the main villain or the Mane 6 are forced to vaporize her along with Nightmare Moon since she's full of negative energy allowing two such transformations to take place (depending on whether Nightmare Moon is the main villain or whether NMM scene is past and it's a different villain).

...and then the Pony of Shadows turns out to be Luna's ghost, thus she stays in the series a la Ghost Nappa
