So based on all the information we got from the entirety of the Franchise, it would seem as if The Pony of Shadows was responsible for turning Luna into Nightmare Moon, like the same Dark Force that turned Stygian into the Pony of Shadows, found it's way to Luna thus turning her into Nightmare Moon, I mean the Pony of Shadows was defeated by Starswirl & the Pillars sending them all to Limbo long before the Nightmare Moon incident, so much like some incarnations of Marvel's Venom, it could be possible that the Pony of Shadows may have left a small piece of itself behind, and that Piece was attracted to Luna's negative feelings towards Celestia, and had infected Luna to turn her into a smaller, lesser, more Luna-ish version of the Pony of Shadows.
