Celestia's and Nightmare Moon's bolts of magic hit dead on in a brilliant flash of light. Nightmare Moon's magic beam splits under the pressure of Celestia's sun, scattering in all directions and, unfortunately, just as potent as it was when unified.
Aqua's shield successfully reflects one of the beams, but two others strike her fireballs, dissipating them before they can hit the Nightmare. Amaterasu manages to rebound the beam heading towards her, but it strikes the last of Aqua's fireballs before it can do any damage.
It's a good thing Setsuna has her shield up, as it's the only thing preventing Rarity, Pinkie Pie, and Chell from being badly injured by the magic. It does seem that a disproportionate number of beams hit that shield, however, and it takes quite a beating.
The pieces of statue are too small to make too much of a difference on Nightmare Moon's footing; she does, however, seem to realize that standing on a low pedestal isn't exactly an advantageous position. She flaps her way off of the pedestal and skims low to the ground, dodging Chu and Kanji entirely. She's not quite quick enough to dodge Luna entirely, but it's a glancing blow at best.
Nightmare Moon comes to a stop in the center of the clearing. Her misty mane and tail flare, and a blue-black aura spreads out from her in several concentric rings several feet above the ground. It's an attack that both appears and fades quickly, and burns and stings when it hits.
