As it turns out, Nightmare Moon seems to be none too pleased about the idea of people flying above the earthquake, regardless of their chosen method of flight; Aqua, Luna and Celestia all get off to a rather rocky starts as a result of the upheaval. Aqua is knocked badly off course by a suddenly erupting pillar of earth, while Luna and Celestia narrowly manage to avoid being hit by similar.
However, neither Luna nor Celestia's attempts to stabilize the earth work as intended. If Nightmare Moon is able to cancel out the magic of the princesses, she is doing so with Luna's attempt; either way, Celestia's own attempt is no more successful in stopping the quake. It does, however, manage to lessen the severity of the earthquake and in so doing help keep protect some of those still attempting to get off the ground; Jeeves and Chell both succeed in their own attempts, leaving both them and Pinkie Pie unharmed. In addition, Setsuna's own attempt at steadying the ground around her also succeeds, mostly likely as a result of Celestia and Luna's partial success.
The same, however, cannot be said Chell's bat - although he does his best to lift Spike off the ground, the two of them fail to avoid another suddenly erupting pillar of earth. In both cases, the damage isn't severe, but they are both knocked back to the ground.
Down on the ground itself, those who have chosen to not take to the skies are met with varying success. Chu, Kanji, and Kanji's Persona all manage to stand their ground even despite the fact that the earth is still shaking; Rarity likewise manages to both keep her footing and dodge the chunks of earth. Fortunately, perhaps, the lessened severity of the earthquake means only Kanji ends up getting hurt; Chu, Rarity, and Kanji's Persona all manage to come through unscathed.
Nightmare Moon, however, doesn't seem to take kindly to having her earthquake lessened and while she doesn't surface again, she does summon another wave of Nightmare Komory Bats while she redoubles her effort to shake the very ground apart, in the hopes of overpowering Celestia and Luna's magic.
