The Raid (Part 1)

Me and Meta were now discussing our plan to raid the factories and take them over.

"Alright, here is the plan. These 3 are our vital points." I said while 3 red arrows pointed at 3 separate locations. "Our first target is the Communications Tower where the Griffin military can communicate. If we can hack into that tower, Adjutant can halt any bad transmissions and make the distress call worthless. Meta, you will lead a large squad there and take it over. T3-M4 will hack the tower and give it's control to adjutant. Our second target will be the power generator, because the shield around the outer base and the Turbolasers will deactivate, giving us the perfect opportunity to take over the base. Our final target is the base itself. We can't destroy the main base because it is too vital to us, otherwise, the griffins will think something is wrong. Adjutant will access control to the main base and the entrance of the factory and we can enter there. Once our plan is fulfilled, I will lead a large attack squad inside and begin to take over the factory from within. This factory is too vital to lose! If we fail, the colony will be put in danger. Failure is NOT an option. Alright, you know the plan, let's get to it." I explained the plan to him.

Meta replied "This is going to work, no doubt. Hopefully, our men won't screw up."

"I know. This is going to change the tide of the war into our favor once we take over this Mega Factory." I said with some excitement.

We got ready and left with our squads.

A few TZ-86 transports landed in the distant forest from eye sight. Large squads of troopers came out and the main transport, Meta gets off with T3-M4 behind him.

Meta yelled to his troops "Alright men, rally and follow me. Our primary target is the communications tower, do NOT destroy it! We need it functional at all costs!"

The men replied "Aye-aye sir!"

They charged and made it out of the forest. When they did, they saw a few griffin patrols but didn't bother them to make sure their presence was unknown. After hiding away for a bit, they eventually made it to a camp. There was a structure with some satellite disks on it. There was a large amount of griffin soldiers.

Meta turned to the droid "T3-M4, jam the transmissions here."

T3-M4 beeped back and a small antenna rose from his head. It began to send out a sound frequency, jamming all intercepted transmissions.

Meta, then, turned to his men "Alright, attack!"

They charged out, guns blazing. The Griffin soldiers, who were caught surprised, began to fire back but were now few in numbers as they were ambushed. The soldiers tried to send out a transmission but couldn't. Once all the enemy soldiers were killed, T3-M4 stopped the jamming and began to hack into the tower.

"Accessing Communication Tower..... decrypting security overrides...... tower control established, the tower is now under Consortium control." Adjutant said.

Meta replied "Alright." (Opens a comm. channel to me) "This is Meta, we have taken control of the tower. Proceed to Phase 2 while we get into position."

"Acknowledge Meta." I replied on the Comm.

I had a large amount of troops with me who were in hiding behind some bushes, waiting for the signal. When I signal our troops, we began our attack against the enemy troops. The griffin soldiers began to fire back.

Griffin Soldier shouted out loud "Bring in the AATs!"

Suddenly, a few tanks came and began to shoot us. We took cover as they shot at us. Being pinned down, I activated my comm.

"AT-APs, we need firepower over here!" I shouted in the comm channel.

Suddenly, a couple of AT-APs came out and began to fire at the AATs, destroying them. They proceed to fire at the infantry, forcing them to retreat. Our squads came out and began to fire at the fleeing griffins. After killing off the remaining griffins, the AT-APs began to focus fire at the power generator alongside with our troops. We destroyed it after a few minutes and began to march to the base.

Griffin Commander was talking on a not working transmitter "What's going out there!? Respond!"

Since the power came offline, leaving the base open for attack, the commander has been trying to get a transmission to the power generator sector but was having no success. After a few more tries, he stopped and turned to the Droid Commander.

Griffin Commander turned to the Droid Commander with anger "Prepare our forces, I fear an attack is near. Position the Droids in the front lines, get platform defenses up, and position our AATs in the back to provide arterially fire. We need to wait for our enemy to make it's next move."

Droid Commander replied "Yes Commander."

The droid left the tent. The Griffin Commander began to make preparations to counter the enemy forces in case the droids fail.

Meta and my forces met up and we watch from on top of a hill. We could see the Binoculars and see the Droid Army waiting for us.

Meta said with annoyance "That's a lot of droids.... Our forces won't be able to get through THAT many droids."

"Agreed, but I have a better plan. Adjutant, contact the droid commander and find me a high ranking griffin official." I said with a thought out plan.

Adjutant replied with an "Acknowledge."

The Droid Commander was in position behind the droid frontier, waiting for the enemy to come to them. Suddenly, his communicator beeped and he answered it. On the other side of the transmission was General Hawk of the Griffin Military.

Droid Commander said "Yes General?"

Hawk said with seriousness "Commander, our spies have reported that Commander Wing is a traitor. He has made plans to sabotage the power generator and communications tower to make it look like an enemy force is heading to the factory. Once the Droid army left the outpost, he began to position his troops to destroy the droid army and try to fool the counsel."

Droid Commander replied "What are our new orders for the traitor?"

"Traitors' punishment is to be put to death. Kill him and after you do that, secure the base for my agent to inspect the base. Do not damage the property or I will have you destroyed and dismantled!" Hawk threaten with disappointment in his tone.

Droid Commander replied "Yes sir."

Hawk added "He will arrive shortly, do the order now."

The transmission ended and the droid army turned around and began to march to the base.

On the hill, the transmission ended and 'Hawk' transformed back to Meta, who was smirking.

Meta said with a dark tone "That was an excellent plan, Lord Danny. Using a false general to make the droid army turn against their own makers."

"I know, I'm that cruel. All we need to do is watch and I arrive there to take control and reprogram the tin cans." I replied with equal darkness.

We used our binoculars and watch from afar as the droids eradicated the griffin resistance for us. It took about 8 minutes when the fighting finally died and I put my mask and hood on. I got on a Combat Speeder and made my way to the base.

The Droid Commander waited for this "agent" until they see a Combat Speeder arriving with a hooded pony on it. The pony had a mask on too. The pony got off and walked to the commander.

"My name is Viceroy, special agent to General Hawk. He send me to see the traitorous scumbag for his treachery." I lied with confidence.

The Droid Commander nodded and began to lead me into the command tent. We arrived and we see the Griffin Commander dead on the ground, clearly shot. I nodded in approval and put a bug on the main computer without the Droid Commander knowing it. After a few more seconds, the droid's eyes turned normal to green. I smiled and looked at the commander.

"Who is your true leader?" I asked for no reason.

Droid Commander replied "Lord Danny Eclipse."

"Excellent." I said with glee.

I un hooded myself and signal the Consortium forces to come to the base. After some needed preparation, me and a massive amount of troops went inside the factory, leaving Meta outside to control the droids. T3-M4 came with me as well, just in case.

Author's Note

Hope you like that. I'm not used of writing like this but I'll get the handle of it.

The Raid (Part 2)

My team enters the factory and began to walk through the area, keeping our eyes open.

"Remember, ANYTHING could happen. If you see droids or griffins, shoot first and don't ask questions later." I said with caution.

We began to move forward, our night vision goggles showing us down the hallway. We walked slowly, creeping low to avoid at first sight. As we left the hallway about 3 minutes later, things were getting quiet..... too quiet. I held up my hoof, stopping the advancing.

1 of Soldiers asked "What's wrong sir?"

"It's too quiet.... It's almost like we were expected....." I said.

The Soldier replied "You have a point..... The men are getting nerved at the silence."

"T3, you go ahead. We will cover you." I said, reassuring.

T3 beeps back and advances, his night vision allowing him to see. We followed him slowly. T3 made it in the factory room and that was when the lights turned on. We turned off our night vision and went down the stairs. We see nothing on so far so we began to pass a few droid platforms until we heard some gears whirling. We put our guns up as Battle Droids came to life and grabbed their blasters.

"Light them up!" I yelled to the men.

We fired our blasters at the droids. They began to fight back but had little success. When the droids were done, we looked around and found nothing.

The Soldier replied "Sir, I think this is a trap."

"I think we-" I said before being interrupted.

(The lights in the entire place turned on.)

"-Fell for it." I finished.

We heard a stranger’s voice on a speaker "Hello gentlecolts. Welcome to your demise."

"To whom I speak to?" I asked

"My name is Captain Ray of the Griffin Military. I'm in charge of this factory. And you are not allowed here." The voice replied.

"You knew we were coming, weren't you?" I said, a bit surprised.

Ray replied "Indeed. But enough chatting. Let's see how to fight against the strength of the droid army!"

Suddenly, we heard the place becoming lively. It began to make droids by the hundreds now.

"We need to find the main control room, otherwise we will be overwhelm by the sear number of droids. We need to locate the closest access panel." I said.

1 of the Soldiers was using his remote and found a beacon of a access panel close by.

Soldier said "There is an access panel in the next area, to the right."

Another Soldier replied "That's-"

"Yes, closer to the droids. Let's move!" I yelled.

We began to run to the next area, which was swarming with Battle Droids. We opened fire on them, destroying some.

A Battle Droid said "They aren't griffins, their intruders!"

Another Battle Droid said "You dumb bucket of bolts, its the rebels!"

Another Battle Droid repled "Blast them!"

They began to fire back. We took cover and returned fire. Endless waves of droids continue to attack us.

"T3, hack into the factory systems!" I shouted.

T3 accessed the panel and began to hack it. He began to beep to me.

"Wait, we can turn the tides? How?" T3 beeped his response to me.

"Droideka, Mark IIs?" T3 beeped responsively "Alright, now where is the Main Control Room?"

T3 responded to me, saying he has downloaded the schematics to his memory banks. He unplug and I activated my lightsabers.

"Fall back troops, I'll take care of this!" I shouted to my men.

I jumped up, doing a front flip while spinning my lightsabers and began to block the attacks. My troops began to fall back while I counter the droid threat. After they successfully retreated, I did a Force Push to the ground, making the nearby droids pushed back against the other droids. I turned off my lightsabers and pulled out 2 smoke grenades and pulled their triggers. They exploded, making smoke to cover my escape. I faded away into the shadows, making my presence undetectable. When the smoke cleared, the droids looked around and couldn't find me there.

The team made it into a safe place to rest up. T3 activated a map and showed them a red spot there, making a text that said "Droideka Core".

1 Soldier said "He's saying if we reprogram the Droideka Mk IIs, we would be turning the tides into our favor."

Another Soldier asked "Where's Lord Danny?"

"He went to the Main Control Room, no doubt. Let's do our job." 1 of the soldiers answered.

They nodded and began to march towards the Droideka part of the facility. They made it a core generator and T3 immediately began to hack it. Suddenly, they began to fall under blaster fire and see Battle Droids. The soldiers began to repel the Battle Droids. It took about 5 minutes before Droidekas turned online. The Soldiers aimed their blasters at them but the Droidekas didn't do the same, clearing the fact that they were now loyal to the Consortium.

I arrived to the Main Control Room, still invisible. There were 2 Purge Troopers there.

"Alright, let's see if I can get in without making noise." I whispered

I came out of invisibility and they looked at me. They fired 2 rockets at me but all I did was dodge them. I lifted my front hooves at them and shot lightning at them. They both got it and began to twitch every fast. After a few more minutes of shocking them, I stopped and they dropped to the floor like dead men. I walked over to the door and opened it. There, I saw a griffin there, Ray. He was pushing some buttons and he was ordering droids to engage the team while searching to find me. He didn't hear the door open, due to him being so focused to finding me and repel the team. I slowly crept to him and when he wasn't looking, I cut off his head. He fell to the floor as his body fell. I began to push some buttons. I turned the droids off and began to do some modifications.

Later...

I had installed Adjutant 23-46 into the main computer core, making her take charge of everything. Meta was next to me when we heard beeping.

Adjutant said "I am receiving a transmission from King Talon himself."

"Activate a hologram image of Ray to respond to the transmission." I ordered.

Adjutant did so and opened the Transmission, which King Talon thought was the real Ray.

Talon asked "Ray, is the Mega Factory ready?"

'Ray' replied with a hint of toneless "Yes, my king."

Talon nodded in happiness and replied "Good. I'm sending you 2 blueprints. I want them done as soon as possible."

'Ray' answered back "Understood. I shall get to them immediately."

Talon said "Good. I expect them done soon."

Talon ended the transmission and 'Ray' turned off. I took a look at the blueprints and gasped a bit.

Meta asked "What is it?"

"Blueprints to 2 new weapons for mass destruction. I think Talon's goal is to recreate the droid army to challenge Equestria." I replied

Meta asked "What are they called?"

"The 1st one is called: The Odin. A ground super siege walker. It can level a city block within seconds. It's main abilities are Barrage and Nuclear Strike. This thing is a destroyer from tartarus itself." I said with some twisted satisfaction.

Meta replied, shocked "Whoa.... Talon must really be desperate."

"Indeed. With a weapon like this, he can clearly repel large armies. And endless droids would help aid that too." I asnwered

Meta asked "Now, what is the 2nd one?"

"The 2nd one is called: The Eclipse. Its a starship with weapons that can- Holy Celestia!!" I shouted out, completely shocked at what I was looking at.

Meta demanded "What is it!?"

"The firepower of this thing can easily destroy entire fleets within seconds!! And the Super Star Destroyer wouldn't stand a chance against it's Super Laser! Talon isn't kidding here! He wants means to end Equestria and restore the NLR!" I replied, shouting.

Meta was now deeply shocked and replied "We should alert your Aunt and Mother!"

"NO!!!” I replied with anger “We have these designs and this was the Factory Talon NEEDED. Now, that we have it under OUR control. We can build these weapons AGAINST him! Besides, they are already busy as it is looking for Chrysalis."

Meta was convinced and smiled a bit "I guess you are right...."

"Speaking about your wife.... How about we clone her?" I asked with some curiosity.

Meta asked, curious as well "Clone Chrysalis? Why?"

"Well, you will be lonely without the real Chrysalis. Besides, I was planning on making a cloning facility to clone our pony troops."

Meta said "I suppose so...."

"Well, let’s go pay her a visit." I said with some hint of glee.

Meta nodded and replied "Agree."

"Adjutant, I want you to begin programming shipyards to making a fleet and the Eclipse. Make the vehicles and Odin. You have the blueprints I got from a smuggler, so you know what to do." I ordered.

Adjutant replied "Acknowledge."

"Alert me if something bad happens." I added

Adjutant replied once more "Acknowledge."

Me and Meta get inside Meta's transport that he built, The Rogue Shadow, and began heading to the badlands, where the remain loyalist of the NLR are.

Author's Note

Finished and done with the raid. Hope you like it! If you are wondering why me and Meta are heading to meet a NLR Loyalist because we are attacking the NLR remnants, the only reason why I don't fight Chrysalis is because the NLR remnants were never loyal to Luna, all they wanted was power and land. So, only Chrysalis and her hive were the only loyalist to Luna. So, I respected them and decided NOT to fight them. So, that is all!

Meeting Chrysalis

Later...

We were arriving to a hidden lair of the Loyalist NLR and landed on a platform. The Changelings looked at the ship and raised their blasters. The landing ramp lowered and both me and Meta came down. The Changelings lowered their weapons and bowed.

The Changeling Guard said "King Metamorphosis and Lord Danny, it’s a surprise to see you."

"Likewise. We are here to see your queen."

We went inside and we waited inside the throne room of the Changelings. We sat there, waiting for Chrysalis.

Meta asked "Where is my wife?"

The Changeling replied "She is currently doing the revival ritual. She should be done soon..."

Sure enough, after 2 minutes of waiting, Chrysalis came into the throne room.

Chrysalis greeted "Hello love and Danny."

Meta replied "Hello love."

"Hello Chrysalis." I said

Chrysalis hugs Meta and we began to talk.

Chrysalis asked "To what do I own the pleasure?"

"We were just wondering if we begin cloning an army of Ponies & Changelings. The new Phantom Consortium is going to fight the remnants of the New Lunar Republic but we won't fight you because you are loyalist and they weren't." I told her with no hint of secrecy.

Chrysalis replied "And I thank you for that. Ever since Charming Thunder defeated your mother, it has been dark."

"So, what is your plan?" I asked

Chrysalis replied "I've revived your and Charming's father."

"King Sombra!?" I shouted out with shock.

Chrysalis replied "Indeed. He is a wonderful asset. We plan to turn Charming as well."

"I've known Charming for too long. He won't fall that easily."

Chrysalis responded with some dark tone "But with the proper push..."

"Yes. He could fall into the power. He denies his heritage of King Sombra. The Colt only knows that Sombra murdered his father, but mother lied to him about that." I said, coldly.

Chrysalis nodded, understanding the situation "Facing his true father will be difficult for him."

"Anyways, we are getting off topic. I wish to clone you. So, if you ever died, your memories and knowledge would be given to your clone." I said, rather convincing.

Chrysalis replied "Normally, I would say no.... But the future is dark and I can't foresee any events to lead a brighter future."

"That means-" I trailed off.

Chrysalis said "Indeed. I may die with no trace."

"Soooo....."

Chrysalis sigh, slightly annoyed "Fine."

I pulled out a needle and take some of Chrysalis's blood. I thank her before leaving, heading to the Shadow. While we were leaving, I had a perfect idea.

"Let’s go to the city of clouds." I said

Meta asked "Cloud City? Isn't that a neutral zone?"

"Yes. We need to steal the special gas they have. We can use that to make a new ship, the Merciless! And some new ships." I replied

Meta said, liking the idea of a new flagship "Well, let’s do it anyway."

"Besides, Fancy Pants owns me a lot for saving his flank from the Minotaurs."

Meta asked "Why the Minotaurs?"

"Well, they wanted to own Cloud City for some new special poisonous gas. I fought back against them and won. The Treaty was signed and the Minotaurs were no longer allowed to own Cloud City for the evidence that I uncovered."

Meta response "Oh, I see."

"Besides, we aren't using the gas to create special poisons so he would gladly hand it over to us." I replied

Meta asked "And if he doesn't?"

"You know what to do. We take it by force." I said, very darkly and bit sinister.

Meta replied "We should be cautious. Rebel Soldiers are placed there."

"I know.... Expect AT-STs and troopers."

Meta nodded "Agreed."

We got on the Rogue Shadow, took off, and began to make our way to the city of clouds.

We arrived and were met by the Cloud Cars.

"Listen to me, I'm here to meet Fancy Pants. I help protect this city so I can come here whenever I want. That was the deal!" I said on the transmission.

Cloud Car Sentry replied "Ok Prince Danny. We needed to know who you were before coming to land. We will escort you."

"Thank you." I said.

I ended transmission and we were escorted to a landing platform. When we landed, the landing ramp lowered and both me and Meta came off. Meta, however, was disguised as Blueblood. They were greeted by Fancy Pants and his fiancé, Fleur. He had a team of troops with him as well.

"Fancy Pants and your fiancé Fleur!" I said in a happy tone

Fancy replied, equally happy "Ah, Prince Danny! What an honor to see you again, old friend!"

We hugged and after that, we began to head inside.

Fancy said "Come inside and enjoy some time of relaxation."

"No thanks, there are something we need to talk. Like: right now. Alone." I said, a bit demanding

Fancy was surprised by the sudden change in subject.

Fancy replied "Well.... fine."

"Thank you."

Me and Fancy left to go talk somewhere, leaving Blueblood (Meta) and Fleur.

Fleur said, trailing off with no thoughts at the moment "Soooo......"

Blueblood (Meta) replied in Blueblood's voice "How about we talk about your life here."

Fleur replied "Ok...."

Hope you like it!

Tibanna Theft

Me and Fancy Pants walks into a conference room. We sat on 2 chairs and began to talk.

"Fancy Pants, I need some of the Tibanna Gas." I said, urgently.

Fancy gasp at what I just said.

Fancy demand "Why!?"

"Because I am going to use it to expand my consortium. We require the properties it has. You own me by a lot because I helped protect the gas from the Minotaurs." I replied.

Fancy said, sadden "I....cannot."

"Why!?" I demanded in shocked

Fancy replied, rather coldly "Have you already forgotten about the treaty Danny!? It states that either the ponies or minotaurs are allowed to use it. That includes you!"

"But I need that gas-"

Fancy cut me off by raising his hoof.

Fancy replied "I'm sorry. But I cannot let you take the gas for your own personal uses."

I sigh and got up.

"Then, I shall leave." I said darkly, like I knew we would meet later in the future and he would die just by looking at me.

Fancy nodded and I left the room.

Fleur said, finishing her story "...and that's it."

Blueblood (Meta) repled "Wow...-"

I came storming in. I was angry, maybe even more.

"Come on Blueblood, we are leaving." I said, coming up to him

Blueblood (Meta) said "But I was-"

I grabbed his tail and began to drag him away onto the landing platform. We went inside, I took helm and we began to take off, leaving.

Meta asked "What happened?"

"Fancy won't hand over the gas." I said, angry

Meta asked "Then.... What shall we do?"

"Simple. We take the gas by force."

Meta looked at me for a bit.

Meta said "But that means-"

"Yes. We are going to do theft. Adjutant!"

I opened a transmission to the Factory

"I need you to position 3 Interceptor IV frigate nearby and get a Lambda-class Shuttle ready for a theft. Ready five collector droids for the Tibanna Gas."

Adjutant replied "Yes, Lord Danny."

The next day...

I was on the shuttle with Meta and the consortium pirate leader, IG-88. We had a large team of troopers with us and some Shadow Troopers. Shadow Troopers were pony troopers with cloaking fields that mask them. The shuttle landed on the platform and we were greeted by a Battle Droid!

Battle Droid asked "Halt. Who had given you authorization to land here?"

"We come from the badlands. We seek the gas this station has." I replied

Battle Droid asked again "Where are you taking the gas?"

"To the Mega Factory in the Griffin lands."

Battle Droid replied "That does not compute. Hold on, you're under arrest-"

I pulled out my lightsaber and slashed him into 2.

"Alright. Meta, get the gas we need! The Loyalist NLR are here, we need to get our things and be on our way." I ordered

Meta nods and takes the collector droids with him. A team of soldiers went with him. I take the Shadow Troopers and we began to head to an area within the city.

I was walking into the place until I heard screaming and my eyes narrowed. That screaming.... Rainbow's screaming. Rage filled my eyes as I knew Rainbow was here.

"Shadow Troopers, you keep going. I got some business to do." I said, darkness filling my voice.

They nodded and I went to look for Rainbow. I looked and see Sombra, Magma Guards, and Rainbow being tortured. Oh, how I wanted to strike him there. However, Rainbow was released and was being send to her friends. Sombra left and I left the chamber as well. My cloaking field was still on so I went to pay Fancy a visit. I arrived to his room and both him and Fleur were in Fancy's bedroom.

Fancy said to Fleur "This wasn't part of the agreement..."

Fleur replied "We can't let them suffer for this...."

My raging eyes burning with hatred. I walked to Fancy silently and grabbed him by the throat, choking and lifting him up. Fleur cried out in shock as I decloaked in front of them. They saw my rage in my eyes.

I said in a Dark voice, almost chilling and evil "You have a lot of nerve Fancy. Allowing Sombra to torture my love like that. You don't know what it was like. I heard her screaming! Screaming, Fancy! I should kill you for that!!"

Fancy’s Voice cracking and gasping for breath "Please Danny...... Spare me......"

"Why would I do that?"

Fancy replied "Because...... I can get them....... safe......"

I consider it and let go of him. He fell to the ground, gasping for breath.

"Talk." I said, coldly and chilling.

Fancy explained "I can get them to their ship, let them leave safely. There is nothing wrong with that, right?"

"True...."

Fancy said "You have my word that Rainbow will be watched by me."

I began to think and then I nod.

"You better do it or your head will be mine to be put on my wall." I threaten, making him swear to his heart and soul.

Fancy gulped and I activated my cloaking field and left the room.

I made it back to the shuttle and we left in a hurry. We escaped unnoticed by the TIE Advance that was heading to land on the platform. I could sense Charming was on the fighter.

"May the Force be with you.....brother....." I said in a dark tone

We returned to the Mega Factory and I took the gas and gave it to Adjutant to make Meta's new flagship, The Merciless. I went to my chambers and looked out the window as the Eclipse was being built in the distance.

"Soon.... I will finish what the rebels have failed to do. And King Talon.... I can't wait until I see your guts being spilled onto the floor." I said, quite eagerly.

I go to my bed to fall asleep and began to think pleasant dreams. The death of King Talon, ruler of the Griffin Kingdom. And because my mind was shielded, Princess Luna couldn’t find out where I was at in the world. However, I thought about opening a mental link with her.

Princess Luna was walking around her landscape of dreams until…

A dark ghostly voice spoke out of nowhere “Lllluuuuuunnnnnnnaaaaaa…”

Luna began to look around and couldn’t see anyone. Suddenly, she felt a tap on her should and she turned around to be greeted by me, who was smiling.

Luna said “Danny!”

She hugged me into a bone-crushing hug but because this was the dream world, it didn’t hurt at all.

“It’s good to see you too mom. So, you are back to normal?” I asked, worried.

Luna nodded and I smiled.

“Have you heard? Cloud City has fallen under the control of the Loyalist NLR.” I said, rather sadly.

Luna gasped at the news.

“Don’t worry, as far as I could see, Twilight and her friends will be safe. I should know… I threaten Fancy to see to it or he would be dead and his head on my wall. He was more than willing to see it fulfilled.”

We talked about our life but I refused to tell her about the Consortium and told her I would remain in hiding. I began to wake up for the next day.

Author's Note

That's all folks! Hope you like it! And a shocking revelation to say the least. Danny actually being at Cloud City and managing to convince Fancy and Fleur to get Twilight and her friends to safety.

Regrouping the Shadowbolts

I was sitting in my bedroom in the factory. After my small talk with my mother, I had relaxed a bit. I looked at the newspaper this morning and I discovered that the Shadowbolts were still out there after the fall of the NLR. I met up with Captain of the Guard, Commander Duran. He and his squad, The Royal Guards, came with me for the trip to see the remnants of the Shadowbolts.

"Don't worry Duran, I doubt they will attack me." I said to Duran, reassuring him. But convincing a droid was impossible.

Duran replied "This is just for safety precautions."

"I know..... Oh fine, you can come with the guard."

We went into 1 of the newest ships, The Aggressor-class Star Destroyer. The fleet had 2 Aggressors, 4 Vengeance-class frigate, and 6 Crusader-class corvette. The fleet began to makes it's way to the Ghastly Gorge.

The Shadowbolts made a minor base there. When the capital fell to the rebel hooves, they were forced to leave Cloudsdale. However, without a faction leader, they were alone. Their old captain, Rainbow Dash, was turned and left the Shadowbolts. Now, in command of them was Rainbow's old friend/rival & 2nd in command, Lightning Dust.

Lightning Dust yelled out to her fellow Shadowbolts "Those rebels will pay dearly for defeating the NLR! And those blasted Wonderbolts! They will all pay dearly!"

Suddenly, they hear a ship land and they looked. It was a TZ-86 transport. It landed and it's landing ramp lowered. Duran and a squad of Royal Commando Troopers came out. They formed 2 lines, each on different sides. I came down the landing ramp and the commandos saluted. I came up to Duran, who began to walk with me. We walked to Lightning Dust and she frowned a bit.

"I have come here to propose a deal." I said to Lightning Dust

Lightning Dust replied "What deal?"

"I want your pilots to join among the ranks of the Phantom Consortium."

Lightning replied "Why would we work for you?"

"Because I am the Son of your old faction leader, Luna. Not to mention, I have control over the Shadowbolts. And not to mention, you lack a faction leader." I resorted, smirking as Lightning looked like she just asked a stupid question.

Lightning began to think about it. I pointed out true and she never heard of a faction called "Phantom Consortium". She went into her tent with some commanders in the ranks to see what they think.

Lightning asked "What do you think Crimson Rain and Inkblot?"

Crimson replied "I don't trust him. I heard rumors that he refused to join the New Lunar Republic."

Ink said "I don't know. He is proposing something that can bring us to glory."

Lightning answered back "True, but he can be tricking us."

Ink added "He brought his guard with him, just in case things get ugly. Besides, he isn't with the rebels. We have confirmed that."

Crimson said "Yeah. Besides, we don't know him."

Lightning asked "Do we need to know somepony just to trust them?""

Crimson replied "No-"

Lightning interrupted him and answers "Then why even ask the question of trust?"

Crimson sigh at that fact.

Lightning asks "So, what is the plan?"

Crimson & Ink replied "We join them."

Lightning nods and she leaves the tent.

I waited for their response until they came out of the tent.

Lightning answers "We have agreed to join you."

"Excellent! Now, I wish to see how good you can be on the field of battle." I said with glee.

Crimson ask "Test?"

"Not exactly. You see, I plan to attack the Griffin Shipyards because they think they can conquer anything they wish. To ensure that we can strike fear into the hearts of other nations, they need to be showed that the Griffins were always the weak species here. Their code of honor blinds them."

Lightning asks "We get to fight?"

"Yes, as long as you lead the assault of fighters." I replied with great promise “And I will throw in some new personal fighters for you.”

Lightning was convinced and ask "When do we start?"

A griffin shipyard was constructing new ships. However, they began to detect a fleet of ships entering the area.

Griffin Commander shouted "It’s the Consortium! Launch all fighters and deploy any available ships!"

Lightning was leading Red Squad. She was in a X-Wing starfighter. However, this one had yellow lighting bolts instead of the Red painting. Lightning's fighter was built for speed so it was faster than the StarViper Fighters. While her attack squad was called Yellow Group, she had Green and Red group to back her up and in the back were the bombers, lead by Crimson (Who was driving) and Ink (Who was shooting the back turret). Their fighter was a BTL-B Y-wing starfighter. Their bomber was red instead of Yellow.

Lightning said on her comm "Alright boys, lets clear a way for our bombers to do some damage! Red Squad, you target their left side fighters. Green Squad, target their right side fighters. Yellow Team, we take the center. Keep the bombers clear and rid of any fighters."

The Squads split up and Lightning led her squad against the offense. Their fighters clashed against a squad of Vulture Droids. They managed to clear the bombers a path and the bombers began their bombing run. They fired and destroyed the shipyard.

Crimson said on his comm channel "We have a direct hit! The Shipyard is going down!"

Lightning replied "Excellent! Let's fall back and regroup with Lord Danny!"

The fighters began to fall back and we destroyed the remaining enemy fighters and we took over the area.

"I can't wait to strike the capital."

A transmission opened and it was Adjutant. I looked at her, awaiting the news.

"Report." I ordered.

Adjutant replied "Construction of the Eclipse is almost finished. There are minor things to finished and the Odin is ready for use."

I smiled darkly as I heard that and replied "Soon, Talon will know the TRUE definition of fear and disloyalty!"

Author's Note

Hope you like it! And the Eclipse is almost finished! Wonder, will Talon stop it with his NLR remnants? And how will the Odin turn out?

Odin Test Run

The next day…

Me, Duran, Meta, and Lightning arrived to the Mega Factory. Adjutant had to show us 2 things. When we came to the chambers were at, I saw a lavender unicorn there. My eyes narrowed because she looked a lot like Twilight. However, it was short lived when ‘Twilight’ turned to us, revealing she was robotic.

The Android said “You like our new appearance?”

“Adjutant?” I asked, uncertain

The robot nods in response.

Adjutant said “I thought about the possibly for me to walk and talk like you. While my primary core is downloaded in this body, it was a Protoform without a body to take form of. So, I decided Miss Sparkle would make it more….suitable, for this situation.”

“So, is the Odin ready for testing?” I asked

Adjutant nods and she turns to look at the Odin. It had its cockpit open for the driver.

Adjutant said “We require a pilot for it.”

“Meta….I think you will do.”

Meta replies, surprised at my request “Me? Really?”

“Yes. I do better on the ground with my lightsabers out. You, on the other hoof, need a Blaster or Vibrosword to fight back. So, why not let my 2nd in command have the beast?” I replied

Meta replied in a prideful tone “I would be honored.”

“Go ahead and give it a try.” I said, giving him a little push.

Meta nods and goes to the cockpit and sat on the chair of it. He sees a lot of controls, switches, and some other stuff. Adjutant pulls out a devise that she invented. She called it; The Nervegear. It would connect you to the machine and your very thoughts would be the machine’s command. She managed to make the devise for it to connect to ponies and changelings alike. Meta puts it on and connected it to the machine.

Meta ask “How do I activate it?”

Adjutant answers “Just say “Start” and you will control the Odin with your thoughts and commands.”

Meta nods and lies back on the chair.

Meta said “Start.”

The glass screen, which I called: a visor, activated and Meta began to blink to the colored around him. Suddenly, the Odin comes to life and the cockpit closes and it goes to its full height.

“How is it Meta?” I ask

Meta replied “It’s awesome! All systems are green. Weapons are ready to destroy some structures.”

“Alright, I think we should test it then give it some real practice.”

Adjutant nods and she points at the wall. There, we saw a lot of target markers.

Adjutant said “Shoot those with the Odin’s cannons.”

Meta took aim for those markers and fires the cannons. Those markers blew holes through them and I whistled in impressive.

“Now THAT is a weapon of destruction. Adjutant, you did well to make the Odin.” I said, confident.

Adjutant replied “Thank you. How about we test it for real?”

“Agreed.”

Later…at a Griffin city.

The Griffins soldiers were patrolling and radioing in to each other.

1 of the griffin soldiers reporting back to his commanding officer “No sign of activity here, si-“

The transmission began to static and he lost the transmission. Suddenly, they heard some ground ‘thumps’ like giant footsteps. The Griffin soldiers looked and see a war machine heading their way. They took into gun positions and fired, only for the attacks to do nothing against the machine. It got close enough and fire it’s cannons and it killed anyone within the blast instantly. The Odin kept walking and stopped at the gate.

Meta said “Time to kick flank and chew bubblegum.”

He blasted down the gates and charged the Odin through. AATs position themselves to fire at the Odin. When it came into their firing range, they opened fire. However, it seemed to be that the Odin had a deflector shield on it.

Meta said “Alright, my turn. Oh, what’s this? Power Attack: Barrage? Let’s see what that is.”

Meta activated the power attack and the back cannons rose up and the Odin lower down to the ground while the cannons came onto its shoulders and began to blast away at the AATs. They were destroyed in the attack and when the power attack finished, the cannons return to normal and Meta was greatly impress that a weapon like this had such a powerful attack.

Meta said, impressed with the firepower “Now THAT was awesome. It’s no wonder that King Talon wanted this built. The Equestrian armies would be eradicated against this thing.”

Comm. channel to him and said “Well, we did upgraded it a bit. Those shields weren’t supposed to be with the designs but I had Adjutant add that key to it, making it deadly. Not to mention, the Mandalorian iron we added to it was practically making it too powerful.”

Meta asked “Mandalorian Iron?”

“Yes. You see, a cargo ship accidently crashed with that alloy. We were lucky to have found it. It had enough alloy to make it for only the Odin. So, lightsaber attacks won’t faze the machine. You are practically unstoppable with that machine.” I replied

Meta kept to his attack. The Shields kept the Odin protected from attacks. The Griffins sent Hailfire Droids, AATs, even some Homing spider droids couldn’t stop the advancing Odin. Meta was rapidly approaching the base until the red alert button was beeping.

Meta said “Radar is picking up some Frigates heading my way. They are getting serious now.”

Adjutant said on her Comm. channel “The Odin was built with Anti-aircraft missiles but they are not as powerful as the cannons. So, aircraft ships are pretty much the Odin’s weakness. Not even those ships can protect the Odin.”

I said on my comm. channel “Alright, time to send those reinforces for you.”

3 Munificent-class star frigates began to advance to the Odin. However, before they even could fire, they began to attacked themselves. Several Vengeance-class frigates decloaked from out of nowhere and began to open fire at the 3 Munificent Frigates. The Odin kept moving forward.

Meta asks “Alright, I’m about to hit their base- Wait, what’s this skull?”

Adjutant replies “That is a Nuclear Strike from the Odin’s ultimate attack. It can annihilate cities or fortresses within a matter of seconds. The Odin won’t be fazed by the attack.”

Meta smiled very evilly and activated the Nuclear Strike attack. The Nuke left the hatched from the Odin’s back and began to make its way up to orbit and back down. The Vengeance Frigates began to retreat at the nuke launch. The nuke its target and a giant explosion occurred. When the smoke cleared, the fortress was destroyed. The 3 enemy frigates were destroyed in the process.

Meta said out loud “Hey Lord Danny, this machine was worth the wait! I can’t wait to storm the capital now!”

I chuckle at what I just heard and smiled.

“Alright Meta, return home. I think we can call this a major victory for the Consortium.”

Meta began to leave the fortress and head back to base.

Author's Note

There you go! The Odin has been tested and it was a pass! What will happen next, I wonder.... Only time can tell us now!

Master and Apprentice

I was meditating in 1 of the training rooms. The room was dark but a light shined onto me and I had my eyes closed, focusing on the force. The objects around me lifted from the ground as the force channeled through me.

A ghostly, dark, and crackling voice said “You are doing very well, apprentice.”

I put the objects down and opened my eyes as the lights turned on. There, in front of me, were 4 ghosts. They were the spirits of Count Dooku, Emperor Palpatine, Darth Revan, and Galen Marek [Aka: Starkiller]. I knew everything about them before they died. Count Dooku was leader of the CIS, A droid army similar to the NLR. He was killed by Anakin Skywalker during Palpatine’s false kidnap. Emperor Palpatine was killed by his own apprentice, Darth Vader, who was really Anakin Skywalker turned Sith. Darth Revan was a brilliant military jedi. Revan wasn’t sure how he died, but I bet he was killed. As for Starkiller, he was killed by Palpatine when he fought back to protect his friends. However, the clone remained to continue his legacy. While Starkiller is Jedi, he’s remnants of the dark side still lives inside him. I learned from these 4 Dark Spirits. Dooku taught me that I must be an excellent leader and master of lightsaber dueling with 1 lightsaber only. Starkiller taught me how to duel wield and how to tap into Force Lightning. Darth Revan taught me how to control and wield the force. I managed to use the Dark Side and Universal Powers of the Force [Including Draining Life and Death Field]. And finally, Darth Sidious [Emperor Palpatine] taught me how to use “Force Corruption” on others to bend them to my will. He even taught me how to use Force even more and taught me to foresee the future. While I haven’t exactly completely mastered that feat yet, I sometimes use it to predict my next target. I’ve own everything to my masters and they taught me everything I knew about combat, leadership, and many other branches.

“What do you wish to speak about, Master?” I asked.

Dooku replied “We have felt a disturbance in the force…”

I closed my eyes and began to focus on the force. Indeed, I felt a change in the balance. Something dark…and evil. I would enjoy it, but this was a whole new level of darkness.

“I can feel it….a great shadow is coming…”

Revan said “We want you to investigate this immediately.”

“I shall, but first. I need to create my new apprentice.” I replied

Sidious replied “Ah. You picked the DNA of a Changeling but you feel it is imcomplete.”

“Yes. I see Twilight has great potential and her eagerness to learn, but her heart is with the light. However…Rainbow Dash is a much more suitable apprentice.”

Starkiller asked “A Changeling with this ‘Rainbow Dash’ DNA?”

“Indeed. I shall give her the powers of the Force.”

Dooku said, business like “Proceed, then find this disturbance and end it.”

“Agreed.” I replied, agreeing

The 4 spirits left and I left the room, heading to the cloning facility.

I arrived to the facility. Meta and Adjutant were waiting for me.

“Did you get her DNA?” I asked.

Meta replied “It wasn’t easy. We had to do it while she was asleep. Lucky for us that the deep sleep powder made her sleep deeply to ignore pains.”

Adjutant added “I’ve already added the DNA. All we need to do is give it life.”

“I’ll do that with the Force.” I said.

They nodded. Adjutant put the mixer of the DNA of Chrysalis and Rainbow Dash in front of me. I closed my eyes and began to shoot red lightning at it, igniting it with power. I could feel it, the dark side filling the DNA. I then added to deepest level of dark side within it. When I finished, I put inside a DNA Chamber and it flashed blood red. When the light cleared, I smirked at the appearance of my new apprentice. She had black chitin for flesh, cyan mane, tail, and shell. Her bug wings were clear and her eyes were like Nightmare Moon’s eyes except they were Cyan. There, she was asleep in the tube and I looked at my creation with an evil smile on my face.

‘Soon, my child, you will awaken and you will be ready to learn.’ I thought

I turned to Adjutant.

“You did add the other traits of the Mane 6 within her, right?” I asked

Adjutant replied “Indeed. I had to DNA structure to add the traits. She got Twilight’s thirst for knowledge, Rainbow’s Status, Applejack’s enhance strength, Fluttershy’s ability to talk to animals, Pinkie Pie’s enhanced running speed, and Rarity’s eye on things.”

“Good. How about Chrysalis’s DNA within her?”

Adjutant answered “She will be able to create her own hive, able to talk telepathically to them as the Queen, and is seen as queen to other changelings.”

Meta replied “However, unlike Chrysalis, she doesn’t have the ability to foresee the future.”

“Alright. I infused the Force into her very being and filled her with Military Knowledge. She must learn both the Force and Magic if she is going to be an excellent apprentice.” I said.

Meta asked “How long do we wait?”

Adjutant answered “About 3 days…”

“Doesn’t seem long. However, I’ve got some bad news.” I said, grimly.

Meta asked “What is it?”

“There has been a disturbance in the force.” The 2 gasped in shocked as I continued “Whatever the source is, its gravely evil and dark. Whatever it is, I have to make sure the thing is put down…for good.”

Adjutant asked “Have you located it?”

“Indeed. It’s definitely in the Griffin Lands, located at a hidden base near the Griffin Capital.” I answered

Adjutant said “Just give the word and we will send a team to destroy the monster.”

“No. I will go with 3 teams of Mercenary Attack Squads, 3 Groups of Grenadiers, 3 squads of Droideka MK IIs, 2 Defilers, and finally…. 1 Bounty Hunter.”

The 2 gasped in shocked. The Consortium, hiring a Bounty Hunter, just to hunt down this mysterious creature.

Meta demand “Why not just take me with you!?”

“Because you are vital. In case if I die, you will lead on in my name. Just don’t let Lightning take control. Knowing her, she would lead us into utter defeat.” I said

Adjutant asked “Which one shall you call in?”

“Actually, I’m calling in 2 to help for….permanently.”

Adjutant asked again “Who?”

“Edward Kenway & Krieg Razorbeak.” I replied with a grin on my face.

A bit later…

I was waiting on the landing platform when a Firespray-31-class patrol and attack craft landed on the platform. The door opens and 2 creatures, 1 pony and the other a griffin, get off.

Edward asked “You called us?”

Razorbeak added “For a job?”

“Indeed. How would it sound for a more permanent stay with the Phantom Consortium?” I said, seriously.

They looked at each other like I was joking until they felt themselves being choked. They looked and see me, my hoof lifted up like I was holding them.

“Well?”

Edward said, choking “Fine…. You win!”

I smiled and let them go. I pulled out a big bag of bits and they looked at it and smiled a bit.

Razorbeak said, a bit reassuring “At least we get paid to join…”

Author's Note

Looks like I now have an apprentice and have permanently hired our 2 Consortium Bounty Hunters. Next Chapter will be a surprise on what the 'disturbance' is. You will be surprise what it is. I'll give you a hint. This is a creature from StarCraft II during both Wings of Liberty and Heart of the Swarm.

Menace

The next day….

The Merciless, it’s captain was Meta, was flying towards the hidden lab that was located in the snowy mountains close to the Capital. It masked itself in a cloaking field to avoid detection. They managed to arrive to the station and 3 Imperial Dropship Transports left the Merciless. On board were soldiers, me, and Edward Kenway. We landed down and got off immediately. Suddenly, 1 C-9979 Landed at the edge of the platform and open the landing bay doors and 3 squads of Droideka MK IIs came out. The transport left after that and returned to the Merciless. I was in my Sith Lord Robes [Aka: My Darth Revan Robes]. Edward was wearing Blue and silver armor that resemble to Jango Fett’s Mandalorian armor. He had 2 Blaster Pistols, the Armor Enhancements and gear, and a Jetpack with metal wings attached. I looked at Edward and gave him a nod and he got on the floor and the missile on his Jetpack fired and destroyed the door. We heard the no alarm go off, mainly because I had Adjutant send a Probe Droid ahead of time and had it hack itself into their security systems, giving Adjutant full control over security. We began to walk inside when several Griffin Guards came to investigate the sudden explosion. I charged forward and cut some in half, Edward pulled out his pistols and shot some dead, and the rest were killed by the troops. We got close to another door when I checked their door controls and hacked into the next room’s camera. That’s when I saw it. A full battalion behind the door with some auto-turrets set up.

“We got problems in the next room.” I said

Edward asked “What is it?”

“Auto-Turrets along with a full battalion of Griffin Soldiers and Super Battle Droids.”

Edward said “That is a problem.”

“Hey Adjutant, hacked the auto-turrets and reprogram their targeting systems to attack Griffin Forces.” I ordered

Adjutant replied on comm. “Processing….”

I looked on the camera again and see the Auto-Turrets turning towards the Griffins and Super Battle Droids and began to fire at them.

Griffin Soldier said, bewildered “What the-!?”

They managed to destroy the sentries but lost more than half of their forces.

“Alright, we even the odds now.” I said

I opened the door and Edward came sliding in, guns blazing. He managed to kill them all before we got inside and he blew the steaming coming out of the blaster’s firing hole.

“You had to take all the fun, didn’t you?”

Edward apologized “Sorry.”

I groan and we continued to the next area. We went up a ramp and saw a lab in there. We see a lot of griffin scientists.

“What do we have here? Slaughter them!” I ordered.

We came charging in and they began to run. However, we shot down every one of them and began to look around the place. There were tubes full of some sort of creatures.

“What are they doing here? What are you up to Talon? Adjutant, I want you to scan these creatures, analyze their bio structure or whatever, I want to know what they are.” I said in curiosity

We began to press on, no longer sightseeing the tubes full of weird creature that were in the tubes. We began to leave until we see the door close.

“What the-!?”

Suddenly, a holding cell next to us opened and weird creatures began to charge at us.

“What are those things!?” I demanded.

Edward answered “Does it matter?”

“No. Kill them and destroy the holding structure! That should halt their path!”

We opened fired at both the creatures and the structure. We destroyed it and the waves stopped and we killed off the last creature.

Adjutant said on comm. “Lord Danny, those creatures bio signs match the bio signs of the creatures inside those tubes.”

“So, were they making more of them?”

Adjutant replied “Negative. I’m detecting another bio signature unknown to me. We may find out later, though.”

“Alright, Edward, destroy that door!”

Edward nods and fires his rocket missile at it, destroying it in the process. We began to run out of it and encountered 3 Griffin Soldiers.

1 of the griffin soldiers said in worry “Uh oh… They got out.”

I force choked them and they died. We continue on and we met up with 2 groups of Battle Droids, trying to kill us. We clash them and killed them off with some ease. We go up a ramp and see 2 squads of Battle Droids and Heavy Super Battle Droids. Edward threw a thermal detonator at them and destroy half of their forces. We killed off the other half. We walk through and found another console. I hack into it and see 1 massive battalion of Battle Droids, Super Battle Droids, a few Heavy Super Battle Droids, and some Griffin Soldiers. I looked at the options bar and see 3 choices. I decided to choice option 2) Release 75 Zerglings. The door holding cell opens its doors and those creatures from before came charging through. The door opens and we looked through, see a slaughter. The large battalion was wiped out and were a few more Zerglings. We killed off the Zerglings and made it halfway through the room until we heard machinery moving and see the creatures in the tube from before coming out.

“Oh Celestia, are they cloning those thing?” I asked

Adjutant replied “I believe so.”

“Just WHAT is your plan Talon? Clone an army of mutated creatures to destroy the rebels?”

Edward answered “Well, the deeper we go, the more we get our answers.”

I nodded and we continue heading through the facility. I began to feel the dark presence getting closer. We were getting closer to the disturbance. We entered a hallway and killed the Scientists there and continued. We got deeper and found a Vulture Droid there. I destroyed and we continued and found some Battle Droids. We destroyed them and felt gun fire on us. We took cover and see an AAT firing at us. Edward fired a rocket at it, destroying it. I see a console and hacked it. The Camera showed me everything I needed to know.

“Well, what do we have here? A vehicles bay if you ask me. They got AATs, Vulture Droids, and even some Dwarf Spider Droids.” I said, amazed.

The Camera showed me a new droid in work. The Console labeled it a ‘A.R.E.S.’ and activated it. The War Bot immediately activated and began heading to the Landing Bay. When it arrived, it began to destroy the army in there. After a few minutes, we went inside, seeing a whole wreck. The War Bot was destroyed and so was the forces inside. We travel through it and found another lab with a landing platform outside it. I check the console and found a lab full of soldiers.

“Damn, there are too many. Meta, I need reinforces down here. Bring in 3 squads of Commando Droids. I’ll need them in this fight.” I ordered

A few minutes later, an Imperial Dropship arrived and the Commando Droids went off it and the Dropship left. We proceed into the lab, guns blazing. We killed off the enemy forces and began to advance even further. We found a door and Edward used another missile. The Door destroyed, we began to advance until I got up to the wrecked door when I felt it. It was here. The Darkness was here. I activated my lightsabers.

“Be ready men! The Disturbance is here! Expect anything!” I warned in a dire tone.

We walked in and found some sort of power cell holding some sort of creature inside it. Griffin Soldiers were beginning to shoot at us until I killed them by shocking them to their death. I looked at the creature and grew serious.

“What the hell is it? Some sort of Hybrid?” I asked

Adjutant said “Alert: Power Signature on the creature is massive.”

“At least I now know what I’m up again…”

Edward said “That thing is too strong, even for you.”

Suddenly, the alarm was going off.

Adjutant said “Lord Danny, the power cell is failing. The Creature is getting lose from the containment.”

“How!?” I demanded.

That was when I heard laughter on a speaker. I recognized that laughter. It was Talon’s laughter!

“Talon!!”

Talon replied on the speaker “It’s rather a critical loss that I can’t watch your death Danny. I knew you would feel this thing’s presence, one way or another. But now, it will kill you here and now!”

The lights began to turn red. Suddenly, the spirit of Dooku appeared in front of me.

Dooku said in a grim tone “Danny, run! Run for it!! The Creature is too powerful, even for you!!”

I heeded the words and turned around.

“Retreat to the landing platform!!” I ordered.

We began to run away. Dooku disappeared and we got past the wreck door when the walls fell down and we got through. We looked and see the creature walking towards us and began to destroy the debris.

“Let’s run for it men! Go! Go! GO!!”

We began to run away, heading back up to the landing platform. We ran into some creatures, basically Zerglings. We began to make it half way there until the creature suddenly appeared behind us.

“Holy Celestia!” I shouted when it reappeared.

We didn’t stop running. We managed to make it past some creatures that managed to slow the Hybrid. We saw a squad of Griffin Soldiers fighting off the Zerglings.

Griffin Commander said to his men “Evacuation! Get everyone to the Transport!”

“Transport? That’s our ticket out of here!” I said quietly

We managed to avoid the Griffin Soldiers and they saw the Hybrid and foolishly began to engage it. My team and I managed to make it to the transport, which was an Aurore-class freighter. We got inside, I took the controls of the ship. I began to take off the ship.

“Meta, if you can hear me, don’t shoot down the Aurore-class freighter! That’s us!!” I said in great worry.

We managed to escape.

“Meta, I want you to destroy that place! Fire the nuclear strikes at it!” I ordered direly.

We were half way there when the Merciless fired 2 Nukes at the place, destroying it. I felt the disturbance disappeared. It was now dead, which eased my mind. We boarded the Merciless and began to make our way back to the Mega Factory.

Author's Note

There you go folks! The 'force disturbance' as been killed.....or are there more? Find out in the next chapter.

Deal with the Devil

A few hours after the destruction of the Evil Lab, The Merciless was flying back to the Mega Factory. The Merciless had suffered some damaged, not much though. About halfway there, I was on a moving chair, drink some Vampire Wine.

“So far, this has been a pleasant trip.” I said, enjoying the relaxation.

Meta replied “Agreed. By the way, when do you-“

Suddenly, the alarm began to go off. We looked at the Sky Map and saw 3 Griffin Ships coming into sensor range. Meta came to it and began to examine it.

Meta said “Lord Danny, 3 NLR Ships have come into sensor range. Talon’s Flagship is leading them.”

When I heard the last sentence, I immediately plug my bottle close and got up.

Meta said “Sir, their weapons are offline. I don’t like this…”

“Meta, tell all pilots to man their fighters and prepare to engage the Griffin Forces!”

Meta replied to the order “Sir, this isn’t a good move! We are 1 lonely ship against 2 Munificent-class star frigates and Talon’s Flagship, The Invisible Talon.”

“Then tell the Bombers to strike against them.”

I left the bridge, heading to my fighter…

The Alarm went off and pilots began to make their way into the Hanger. When the pilots made it to the hanger, they see me in my Sith Outfit. I looked at Red Squad.

“You men are with me. Stay close to me.” I ordered

They saluted and I get into my personal fighter, The Soulless One. The other pilots went into their StarViper Fighters and we took off. The other squads appeared behind me and 3 squads of bombers were there too.

Meta said on the Comm channel. “Sir, their weapons are still offline! They are making no attempt to fight back!”

“It’s a trick Meta, don’t you see that?” I replied

Meta replied “Sir, they refuse to fight! Call off the attack!”

I take it into consideration and decided to talk.

“All fighters, don’t attack. The enemy doesn’t raise weapons, so don’t fight. Blue, Black, and Gold Squads; keep your eyes peeled for signs of trouble. Red Squad, we are going to land on their ship and see why they aren’t fighting back.”

The Squads acknowledged and we did what we planned. Me and Red Squad lands and we began to make our way to the observation deck.

We arrived and I had my companions to stay behind to guard the rear. I came into the room and see someone on the chair in front of the windows. I came down and pulled out my lightsaber and got ready to throw it.

“Turn around Talon, I want you to see this happen." I said

A Familiar Female Voice said from the chair “You won’t find my father here, Prince Danny.”

‘That voice…’ “If you aren’t here to fight, then tell me why are you here…”

The Stranger replied “Because I wish to make a deal with you.”

“What deal?” I asked

The Chair turns around, revealing Gilda!

Gilda said “I know you hate my father. I can offer a chance to kill him.”

“Why would you want your own father dead?”

Gilda replies “He lies to the public that he can assure them that once you are capture, the land will return to normal. But that was a lie to make the Griffins follow him. What he truly wants is to capture you, then use you as leverage to make the Princesses surrender Equestria.”

“I rather die than become his personal slave.”

Gilda said “I know but I can offer you a way into the Capital without detection.”

“Explain.”

Gilda resorted “Not until we have a deal.”

I was impressed that not only did the daughter of Talon come to me to offer me something I could do by force, but not gives up any information. I looked angry until I smile and turn off the lightsaber.

“Alright…as long as I get to kill him.” I said to her, dead serious.

Gilda replied “Then we have a deal.”

“Now, star talking before I reconsider.”

Gilda explained “You see, Talon has rallied his fleets to the Capital to repel any assault that would be sending out. While that strengthens his defenses, it also weakens his will across the land. I’ve been traveling around, gathering allies of my own to rally to you. I wish to become an assets to the Phantom Consortium. With our combined fleets, we can eradicate our enemies within the hour. However, we would be taking heavy losses since the Fort is equipped with Anti-Air Craft Guns. Our ships would be torn apart that way so I thought, why not infiltrate the inside? Talon doesn’t care about what happens to me, but if we can make it live, then the griffin civilians will begin an open revolt against Talon, giving us support. And since many of the soldiers have some disloyalties to Talon, the live video would turn the people’s hearts, making them revolt against Talon.”

I began to think about it. Making a live video to show Talon’s true colors would benefit him greatly. Not to mention, most of the Griffin Guard would turn on Talon for lying and using them. I had plans of becoming the Emperor of the Griffin Lands but Gilda is the Heir to the Throne.

“Gilda, once your father is dead…..what will you do?” I asked in curiosity.

Gilda replied “I’ll become your senator.”

“My Senator?”

Gilda responded “Indeed. You need somepony to keep the peace so I thought about me.”

“Fine. As long as I become Emperor of the Griffin Lands, then it is ok to me.”

Gilda nods and we shook.

Meta said “This is great and crazy!”

“Why?”

Meta answered “The “Great” part is because we have the opportunity to finally rid of Talon forever, but the “Crazy” part is because Gilda is refusing the throne. It’s a trap.”

“Do we have any other choices?”

Meta replied, unsure “….No….”

“Then let’s do this.”

Meta asked “How?”

“Changelings, of course. They can infiltrate the media radio towers, connect it to the Invisible Talon’s Communications without Talon even realizing it, and preform an act to fool him. I choke Gilda, she pretends that she needs help, and when Talon reveals that he don’t need Gilda to fight me, the whole of the Griffin Land will revolt and want to kill Talon for deceiving them.” I explained the plan to him.

Meta was impressed and admired it “Brilliant.”

“Indeed. Now, get to the task.”

Meta replied “Right.”

I left and Meta contacted his Changeling spies within the Capital to do the plan.

There we have it! Gilda, betraying her own Father! What will happen next, only time can tell. Also, I'll be gone for a some time but I'll still be working on the story on Microsoft Word.

Talon's True Colors and Apprentice Rises

2 Days later…

It’s almost been 3 whole days since the birth of my apprentice. I was told that at 5:00 PM will be when the cycle will be complete. Me and Gilda had rehearsed the play about how to show the Griffin Lands about how their ‘beloved’ king was really a tyrant who wants to rule both Griffin Territory and Equestria. So, the play was this: I would pretend to have raided the ship, get to the observation deck, and choke Gilda in front of the transmission where Talon would watch. Gilda, meanwhile, will pretend that she is under attack by the Phantom Consortium and she needs assistance and when she finishes that sentence, I would storm in and choke her with Force Choke. But I won’t kill her, Talon will do the rest. I contacted the undercover Changelings and they inform me that they are ready to focus the transmission from the Invisible Talon to the Palace signal.

“We are ready when you are.” I said to Gilda.

Gilda nods and I left the door and closed it. Gilda smirk and got into her worry state and contacted Talon. He appeared on a hologram.

Talon said “Gilda. I’ve been informed that you have taken half the mighty fleet we have and began to rally griffins to our cause-“

Gilda interrupted “Father, I’ve come under attack to the Phantom Consortium! They have raided the ship and they are almost-“

At cue, I used the force to rip open the door and walked in with 2 Commando Droids. I told them to play along for the ride, to make it even more convincing. Gilda and Talon looked at me, Talon with hated eyes. I pushed a button and the transmission between the Palace and the ship was made live all over Griffin Land.

Talon said with hate tone “Danny…”

I replied “Hello Talon. It’s been almost-what-2 days? Since you almost killed me with that Hybrid of yours and you allowed all of that innocent blood spilled to the ground.” I came down the stairs and began to force choke Gilda. She began to choke, grabbing her neck, trying to get out of the choke. “And now, I shall make all the innocent lives be replayed in your daughter’s blood.”

Talon didn’t respond and only after a minute of thinking, he began to chuckle.

“What’s so funny?” I asked, pretending to be curious.

Talon replied, vilely “Oh, nothing. But do you really think the loss of my daughter will faze me?”

“You mean, you don’t care about your daughter? Not at all? Not your flesh and blood?”

Talon responded evilly “Her life is meaningless to me.”

I heard ringing from in my ear headset. I pushed it and heard 1 of my Changeling Agents from within the Capital call.

Spy said on the communicator “Milord, the people have heard and are enraged. Shall we end the trick?”

“Indeed.” I turned off the ear communicator and I let Gilda go from the Force Choke. She fall to the ground, choking a bit.

Talon was shocked to see what has just happened “Wha- What is this!?”

“You want the true? Well, here it is. You have been tricked!” Talon’s face looked like it went pale “This transmission has been live to the griffin land! You have shown your true colors to your own homeland that you are nothing but a bloodthirsty tyrant!” I said with a hint of glee.

I activated the media channel and began to enjoy what I was hearing. Talon, on his end, activated his own TV. He was shock to see the people were revolting.

Reporter Wilson said on the news “Shocking revelations has occurred. The King, Talon, has been revealed as NOT a peace loving king but a bloody tyrant who wishes power! Civilians has begun a revolt against the king, chanting “Kill the King!” over and over again. The people have sided with the Phantom Consortium. Now, with the people turning against King Talon, they all pledge their alliance to Danny Eclipse, the Hero of the People!”

I opened a transmission, live to the people.

“Civilians, soldiers, families all alike. You have my word that the Phantom Consortium is NOT a terrorist group that Talon has lead you to believe. The fact is to be that Talon has plans to resurrect the NLR to a new age! An age where he can rule over your homeland and Equestria! We protect ponies, changelings, griffins, all species alike. We have NEVER seen you lower than me. You have my word that I’ll lead your mighty government into a mighty and powerful nation!” I said with great leadership skills and making a vow.

On the screen, I heard the griffin people chanting my name “Emperor Danny!” over and over again. I smile, knowing that I won the hearts and minds of the people.

“And as my first act, I shall dethrone King Talon, IMMEDIATELY!!” The Griffins cheered “My forces have been listening and now, we march to the Capital with haste. You have my word; we will support you in any way possible.” I reassured.

I ended the transmission and told the spy changelings to end the live transmission. Talon, who was now fuming with rage, looking at me with rage full eyes, hating me to the core.

Talon warned “You have made powerful enemy Danny today.”

“I don’t care. I will assault your precious palace and kill you, once and for all.” I replied, smirking.

I ended transmission and Gilda was giggling now.

Gilda said “With my father exposed, we can now acted.”

“Position your forces outside the capital. Don’t let no ship through.”

Gilda nods and I return to the Merciless. I took the Soulless One and left the Mega Factory.

4:59 PM…

I came down to the cloning.

“Now it’s time to just sit back and enjoy the show.” I said, beginning to wait patiently.

And so I did and waited for a few more seconds until I heard the beeping. She was finally finished with her birth cycle and I smirked. I could sense her presence waking up to her surroundings.

“Awaken child. Your father calls for you.” I said, telepathically.

I saw her stir. She could hear my telepathic link with her. When I created her, I needed to know when something was wrong with her when she is concern.

The Changeling replies in the telepathic way “Who-Who’s there?”

“It is I, your father. Awaken Child and break out of your capsule.”

I could feel her trying to process what to do next. I send an image of Force Repulse and I could see her learning of it immediately. She crossed her hooves and I could see the force energy channel around her. She uncross them and her pulse destroy the glass around her. The alarm goes off and I silenced it. She was on the ground, panting for breathe. I walked up to her and she opened her eyes to look at me.

“Hello, my child. Are you well?” I asked, telepathically.

The Changeling blinked a few time before smiling and hugs me.

The Changeling responded, speaking instead of telepathically “Father.”

I smiled and embraced her like she was my daughter. Her features were similar to Rainbow Dash’s. She haven’t change since I created her with the Force.

“Yes Child, It is I.” I said without talking telepathically.

We stop hugging and I looked at her with a smile.

“Tell me: What will your shall be?” I asked.

The Changeling responded “How about…Dusk?”

“Dusk?”

Dusk said “Yes.”

I began to consider it and smile.

“Dusk is a good name for you. So, welcome to the world, my little Dusk.”

I hugged her again and I smiled at her presence.

Dusk said “Hopefully, I will adapt to the world, father.”

“Are you eager to learn, Dusk?” I asked, smirking as I knew she had Twilight’s trait of desiring knowledge.

Her ears perked up and she smiled and nodded rapidly.

Dusk answered “I would love to learn.”

“Then, let the training begin.” I said.

Dusk smiled and we left to head to the training chambers.

There you go folks! Hope you enjoy! :twilightsmile:

The Rise of the Eclipse

Few Weeks later…

Me and Dusk have been training for a while now. She has never stopped surprising me. My 4 Ghost Masters help me teach Dusk how to use the force to her control. Dusk was like me, she was a duel wielder in lightsaber skills. She advance the Force capacities rather fast. She was able to perform about all the Universal Powers and half of the Dark Side Force Powers. She never stopped the training until it was time to either eat or learn some magic. Speaking of which, I had to teach her the ways of ancient and modern dark arts of magic. Meta taught her the ways of the Changeling and even lessons how to use magic without using the dark arts. As these weeks passed by, I had Duran run the military. Duran had reported to me that the Battle of the Outer Capital has finally been finished. During those few weeks, the Phantom Consortium had to break through the outer defenses because Talon strengthens the control of them. Duran finally managed to break through their lines and we had position our inside their town… So, with the war reaching to its breaking point, Talon decided it would be best to play his hand and we were shocked when he had pulled out a new giant warship, The Malevolence.

Duran said “We can’t on firepower while it has its Ion Cannons. Our ships will be torn to shreds against that.”

“Do we have a solution?” I asked

Adjutant replied “We do have the Merciless…”

Meta answered “Negative. Even if our Ion Cannon hits their ship, the effects only are short lived.”

“Then we have to pull out our ultimate weapon.”

Meta asked “What?”

“The Eclipse.” I said with a growing need to smile.

They all gasped.

Adjutant said “The Eclipse has finished just yesterday but it hasn’t been properly tested.”

“Well, this can be a chance.” I answered back.

Adjutant replied “But sir-“

“No more! We will use it. Dusk will be with me when we go to test it.” I said, very harshly.

Dusk asked “Why bring me, father?”

“Because I want you to see what war looks like.”

Dusk nods and we began to make our way to the Ultimate Weapon and my personal flagship, The Eclipse.

We were on the bridge of the Eclipse, looking out as the Eclipse began to arrive to the city. It’s giant mass made it slow but the firepower replaced the slowness. When we arrived, we saw the Malevolence there, aiming it’s Ion Cannon at us.

Talon was shocked to hear that the Eclipse had arrived “They have what!?”

Super Tactical Droid replied “They have the Eclipse.”

Talon said in disbelief “Impossible! I gave those blueprints to no one but Captain Ray!”

Super Tactical Droid replied “To my logic, I think that ‘Captain Ray’ has been dead for a while now. The Eclipse is in Danny’s hooves and it is rapidly approaching us.”

Talon nodded and replied “Well, use the Ion Cannon and disable it. Destroy it, I rather wish to see her scrapped than be in the hooves of that monster.”

The Super Tactical Droid nods and issues the order but got interrupted.

Battle Droid Pilot said “Sir, we are detecting a massive power surge across the Eclipse.”

Super Tactical Droid asked “What do you mean?”

Several Energy Conductors began to channel energy into the center tube. When they reach to the front of the ship, they fired a green beam of energy. It hits the Malevolence, the ship immediately lost its shields. Their systems began to vaporized and the ship itself exploded! The Eclipse had its shields up to protect it from exploding debris.

Dusk said, shocked about just happened “WHOA!!!”

“I know…” I smirk evilly “Talon has just lost. Without that weapon of his, the NLR will indeed fall to the might of the Consortium.” I said with confidence.

Dusk asked “Father, we need to take the Capital immediately. Can I join in the assault?”

“Dusk, you haven’t even completed your-“

Suddenly, Darth Sidious appeared.

Sidious said “I think Dusk is ready for the experience, Danny. She must know what it feels like when she enters a battle.”

I sigh, knowing to never go against the masters.

“Fine, you can come. Just don’t get reckless on the field or that will be the end of you!” I answered to her.

Dusk replied “Ok Father.”

Dusk was smiling and she left. I couldn’t help but smile as well.

Meanwhile in Equestria, Canterlot…

Princess Luna was looking at the Night sky, wondering where her son, Danny Eclipse, could be at. She heard a knock and let the pony in. It was one of her Night Guards.

Luna said “Report.”

Guard reported “Your Highness, we believe we have found Danny.”

Luna immediately looked at the guard.

Luna asked, rather anxiety “Where is he?”

Guard answered “We got word that a mysterious faction, who calls themselves the Phantom Consortium, has invaded the Capital of the Griffin Lands. King Talon has been exposed to be a tyrant and we believe that Danny is leader of the Consortium Faction. His forces; Ponies, Changelings, and Droid, are preparing for the final battle. Talon has suffered severe damaged and Danny is going to strike the same day when we destroy the Death Star that Chrysalis has.”

Luna began to process the whole thing. So, she now knew that I was leader of a rebellion group of my own, but why was I targeting the Griffins? Then it hit her; The Griffins were once allies of the NLR, so by targeting them, the Consortium is getting rid of loose ends. Danny never did like loose ends and would depose any who were loose ends.

Luna said “Good job soldiers. I have a new assignment for you.”

Guard asked “What is it, your highness?”

Luna explained “I need you to head to mobilize the Night Guard and the Lunar Republic. Tell them that we are going to aid Danny in his final battle.”

Guard replied “Yes, Princess.”

The Guard leaves and Luna looked up to the moon, thinking of her next move. She wasn’t going to tell Celestia but they have to do this without Celestia knowing about it. Twilight and Charming Thunder were out of reach. So, she and her republic had to move fast and help Danny.

Author's Note

Well, Luna has finally located her long lost hiding son, now will she act with or against him? :ajsmug:

The Final Battle

My forces landed just outside Talon’s heavily defended fortress.

Talon say to us on a speaker “This ends today Danny. You have invaded my home, my land, and for what? Your reign will end here and today! We will not retreat, we will not back down, and we will rise and fight for our last breathe. The New Lunar Republic will rise up against the Phantom Consortium; show the world that we are a force to be feared! We will fight until our last breathe and will be victorious or we will die in honor, knowing we did our best to defend this land from your evil hooves.”

“Nice Speech, I’ll make sure it will go to your tombstone after I burned your body to ashes.” I said, arrogance in my tone.

Talon replied in anger “I’ve had enough of you! We will show you that we are the most feared force in this world!”

“Don’t make me laugh. You were nothing but a coward who’s greed to the throne and never to anypony else. Now, I will personally end your life.”

I signal my troops and we began to make our invasion. I ordered some Turbolaser defenses and I took my squad of Commando Droids and began to attack a nearby camp. After we destroyed it, I began to receive a transmission and looked at it.

“Report.” I said on the communications channel.

Meta reported “The Changeling Swarm is ready to engage but Talon has position a blockade to prevent my forces from getting inside.”

Lightning reported as well “He’s got his guns in the skies with a blockade preventing our forces from getting in. If we are going to provide heavy offense, we need you to destroy their Anit-Air Guns.”

“Alright. Dusk, I need you to take a large squad and head to their Anti-Air Guns and disable them. I’ll personally see to it that Meta’s forces get through.” I ordered

I got off the transmission and began to make my way to the left side of the battlefield. A few squads of Droideka MK IIs came and we began our assault. The Battle Droids began to fire at us but I force push them down. We began to make it to the upper levels of the blockade and we see the main line of defense, their guns now aiming at us. They opened fired and we took cover. I jumped up and landed on an AAT and slashed it in half. I kept charging and the droids kept firing. I kept charging, blocking and dodging every blaster fire. I kept slashing every droid and enemy vehicle with little trouble. When I finished, I saw a horde of Changelings rushing in with Meta leading them.

Meta yelled “Alright, let’s engage the enemy!”

I smirked and aided the changelings with destroying the nearby structures.

Gilda contacted me on the comm. channel. “Danny, the Griffin Empire is here to back you up!”

I looked off to the distant and see another blockade being completely eradicated by angry griffins. I smirked and began to lead the offense to the capital.

“Dusk, how’s the guns doing?” I said, telepathically

Dusk replied “Look to the sky and see for yourself.”

I looked up and see fighters fill the sky. I smiled as Lightning and her squad began to make their offense.

“Alright Dusk, get back here and help us.” I ordered.

I began to lead the offense, Changelings and my Droids backing me up.

Talon voice on the speaker said “Wolf and Alpha Squads, take down the enemy!”

Suddenly, 2 twin assault groups teamed up and began their offense. Our forces began to fall back, taking heavy fire.

“Lightning, can you hear me!?” I said on the communications channel.

Lightning replied “What is it, Prince Danny?”

“I need a bombing run! My forces are pinned down!”

Lightning ordered “Roger that! Bombers, give Danny a helping hoof.”

We kept down and that is when we see some bombers over us in 3 minutes. They fired their bombs down onto the 2 enemy teams and destroy them. We cried out a battle cry and charged. Dusk and Gilda arrived with the uprising Griffins. We knew now that this was the final charge. I stopped as something flickered in my mind. The others noticed this but the troops kept charging.

Dusk asked, concern a bit “What is it father?”

“I feel….a familiar presence nearby…. No, it can’t be…” I said in disbelief.

We looked up and see something we would never believe. A massive group of NLR ships, battling not just our forces but 3 Star Destroyers! Not only that, but an Harrower-class dreadnought landed in a nearby section near the assault forces.

“Attention unidentified vessels, this is Danny Eclipse of the Phantom Consortium, what are your purposes here; Equestrian Rebels?” I asked on the communications channel.

A Familiar Female Voice replied on the same channel “We are here to help you Danny.”

My eyes narrow as my mother, Princess Luna, appeared in front of me with an entire army her Night Guard.

“Mother….”

Gilda said in terror “Queen Luna!”

Luna replied calmly “No, it is Princess Luna. As for now, I want to know what you have truly been doing Danny.”

“Simple; ending Talon reign over this land and crowning me emperor.” I said to her.

Dusk asked “Who’s she?”

“Dusk, this is my mother, Princess Luna Eclipse, Co-ruler of Equestria.”

Luna demanded “Danny, why is ‘Dusk’ looking like Rainbow Dash!”

“Mother, this is my created daughter. Her name is Dusk and her appearance so happened to be matching Rainbow’s. In other words, mother, Dusk is your niece that I created with Rainbow, Chrysalis, and my DNA.” I replied with a smirk.

Dusk cheered “Yay, I have a grandmother!”

Luna was shocked by the news but nodded and hugged her ‘niece’ and we continue the offense. We made it to their main outpost and the Turbolasers on the wall of the palace began to fire at us. We destroyed their fortress and the grand entrance.

“You all stay here. I have some unfinished business with Talon.” I ordered.

They all nodded and I went inside. Luna and Dusk looked at each other and nodded, secretly going after me.

There were a lot of gun fire and the Battle Droids, Super Droids, and many other droids were trying to stop me but were having no success. My lightsabers were drawn and I eradicated any forces that came into my way. Talon watched on the cameras and had a cup of wine next to him. He pulled out a chest and opened it, revealing 4 things. 1 was a golden lighter-looking switch, 1 was a cigarette, and the other 2 things were alien technology capsules. He grabbed the cigarette and switch and sat down on his chair. About 3 minutes later, 2 lightsaber sabers came through the door and they cut the door down. I came through the debris, my eyes glowing bright neon. Talon turns around, revealing himself with the cigarette in his mouth and the switch in the other. I thought it was a weird looking lighter.

“Well, I am surprise to see you are still here. I thought you would have run for your miserable life.” I said, impressed.

Talon replied, accepting the insult “Escape? Danny, you have no idea what you mean. Why run from you when I clearly have the advantage.”

He flips the switch top open as the ground between us opened and a machine appeared. I could feel the ectoplasm energy all around it and he pushes the red button and the green ecto-energy hit me, shocking me. I screamed out in pain. Ectoplasm energy was ghost energy and I was weak against it, which is ironic, due to me being a ghost. I fell to the floor and the shocking stopped. I was steaming smoke, my eyes flashing icy blue and neon green. Talon ‘tsk’ a few times and looked out the window, still holding the switch high in his talon.

Talon said, confident than before now “I’m not an idiot. I knew you were a halfa and your weakness was clear to me after a few testes. Did you think I’d leave myself open for your attack without some king of insurance policy?”

He pushed the button again and I got shocked again, my screams echoing along the corridors in the palace. He walked behind me, still ready to push the button.

Talon said with anger “Now, at long last…You will DIE Danny Eclipse!”

He was about to push the button until he felt something grab his talon. He looked and gasp in horror to see Princess Luna. She lifted him from the ground.

Luna said with great anger in her voice “Change in plans Talon!”

She threw him across the room where Talon’s desk was at. He destroys the desk and the switch was destroyed. Dusk came to my side and she destroys the devise. Luna charged up her magic for an attack but stopped as I got up, my eyes glowing blood red with rage. I threw my lightsabers at him, both hitting him square in the face. He was pushed to where the cameras were at. He cried out in pain. I began to move towards him and something appeared in my hoof. It had a black handle and the blade was purple, which was glowing with power.

“It is time Talon. It is time for you to join the dead.” I said with great anger.

Talon said “You have become a monster Danny!”

I looked unfazed by the comment.

“YOU are the TRUE monster here!” I shouted as I got ready to make the final move.

I stabbed Talon at the heart and he screamed out in pain. After a few minutes of his screaming, he stopped and died there. The lightsabers deactivated and floated to my belt and hung there. I held my sword, the Dark Star Saber, with a great smile on my face.

“You have claimed the blood of 1 of the many pathetic creatures on this planet.” I said to the sword as it glowed brighter.

We heard a click and we looked. 1 of the alien metal spheres opened and came out was an alien symbol, with purple as the Dark Star Saber. It came to me and went around my neck.

A dark and evil voice said inside my head “You have become my Champion, Danny Eclipse. Around your neck, you are the bearer of the Dark Spark of Unicron! This will grant you the ability to control and bend the wills of others to your will!”

I feel the power filling me and my eyes flashed purple for a quick second and turned back to Neon Green.

“Now, I am powerful emperor.” I said.

Luna yelled “Danny, stop this!”

I looked at Luna and my medallion began to glow.

“You will make a suitable test subject.”

A beam of purple energy hit Luna square in the chest. Dusk looked at Luna and smiled with glee. Luna opened her eyes, they were purple now.

“Kneel!” I ordered with the medallion still glowing.

Luna kneeled to me and I smiled evilly.

Luna said “What is my mission, my lord?”

“I want you to return to Equestria and tell NO PONY what has transpire here. Tell them that you needed to run an errand. Ensure that the Night Guard forget what ever happened here as well, use a memory spell, if needed. The Phantom Consortium must be in secret.”

Luna nods and leaves, her eyes return to their normal color.

“I assure you this, my subjects. I shall rule with great strength and liberty.”

My medallion was glow and spreading a hidden purple mist to the griffins, corrupting their mind with the only 1 thought; Follow Emperor Danny’s rule.

Gilda said, not noticing the mist “Emperor Danny, we shall follow you forever.”

“Excellent. Gilda, begin with Operation: Reconstruction.”

Gilda nods and I left to my new quarters. Little did I know that the other alien metal sphere floated and flew away, looking for a suitable life form to wear the medallion that was within it. Someone with great good in his/her heart, which was only 1 pony I knew who was going to be the future bearer of the Matrix of Leadership Medallion…

Phantom War II: Corruption Spreads

May the Force be with you!

Prologue

Somewhere far from Ponyville, at the edge of the border line of Equestria/Griffin territory...

I was walking in town. I went into a bar where the ponies there were talking. I went to the counter and put a bag of bits on the counter.

"Give me some bottles of Vampire Wine for leaving." I said with a big eagerness

The Bar Manager nods and pulls out a container of 6 bottles of Vampire Wine. I thank the pony and left the bar.

I've arrived back at the safe house. I grabbed the newspaper and began to walk into the house. I heard the TV was still on but I ignored it entirely. I sat on my couch and began to read the newspaper.

Report: The Rebels who swore to retake Equestria has conquered it back. Queen Luna of the NLR has fallen and the NLR scattered across the world. Many of NLR allies refuse to aid the NLR and the rebels have chosen to ignore them, while focusing on finding the Changeling Queen known as Chrysalis. She and her changelings are still loyalist for the NLR and Charming Thunder, leader of the Rebel Military hunt her down. If you know her location, don't hesitate to contact Canterlot.

I looked at the picture that was with the report. It was a group picture. There was Charming Thunder, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Princesses Celestia and Luna, Shining Armor, and Princess Cadance. I smiled, remembering the good old times before the Civil War. However, my attention was to the TV when I heard King Talon, ruler of the Griffin Kingdom, say something about me.

"I assure you this, my fellow Griffins, that the famous outlaw criminal Danny Eclipse will be facing justice for his crimes....very soon." King Talon, Emperor of the Griffin Kingdom, said with a hint of satisfaction

I pulled out my lightsaber and threw it at the TV, breaking it in the process.

"I'm not going to surrender, retreat, or even fall to your forces, King Talon. I would rather die than become your captive, you son of a mule." I said with angry tone.

I get up and walk over to my computer and activated it. Adjutant's face appeared on my screen.

"Report."

Adjutant Replied "Your forces are prepared and awaiting your orders, Prince Danny. Uploading tactical data about the colony and main compound."

I nodded in approval "Good. It’s about time we kicked this revolution into overdrive. Tell King Metamorphosis to position the Defilers into the main complex and let us free these innocents from the New Lunar Republic." I said with some eagerness.

I pushed the green button and I left the bar. I put on my some gear. It was mostly black with some red. The uniform was mostly leather but I didn't care. There was metal at the chest plate and some steel front hooves. I wore a black and red cape and hood and created a mask. I could still see where I was going and it even had some good equipment invented into it, like; Night Vision, Cloaking, some other cool gadgets. I even made a Sombra horn replica where I could channel my force powers into. I put on the gear, left and met up with some troops. Mercenaries Attack Squads, mostly of ponies but a few changelings. Although they weren't really buyable, they joined us anyway. As 3 squads met up with me, we began our approach to the Colony. Griffin soldiers were enslaving the ponies here into slavery. I really hated it and killed any griffins I came across. We ran into patrols and murdered them. We were outside one of the towns when we saw a transport loading ponies. 2 Griffin Guards, equipped with Blaster.

"Halt! We located the locals, let's see what they will do." I said with a hint of worry.

"Calm down, everypony. We are just taking you to the Colony because there is rebel forces here." 1 of the Griffin Soldiers said, reassuring.

"My brother went to the colony a few months ago..... He was punished brutally because he was just doing his job...." 1 of the many Civilians said with fear.

The Pony slowly began to walk away until he broke into a run.

"Hey look, a civilian is trying to run away. Shoot him, make it fun." The 2nd Griffin Soldier said in vile.

The 2 soldiers aimed and shot the running pony. At first, they missed but then they hit him and the other ponies went to the ground in panic. I saw the pony die and my rage couldn't hold back.

"Their shooting civilians now because they refuse to go to the Colony?! Move in and massacre the griffin scum! Make them pay for their crimes!!" I roared with rage and hate.

My team attacked the convoy and I pulled out my lightsabers. The left lightsaber was green with a black core while the right was violet with a white core. I blocked blaster fire and killed the guards then freed the civilians that were on the transport.

"Prince Danny Eclipse, it's been a while since you came out of hiding." Another Civilian said.

"I know and I regret it. But now, this is a new beginning. Time to rid of the New Lunar Republic's last remaining allies. Who's with me!?" I yelled.

The Civilians cheered and we led a march to the compound that held the weapons and tech. The Marshal, however, stopped our riot and we halted.

"Prince Danny, you know you are an outlaw here..." The Marshal of the town said.

"Are you going to stop us?" I threaten.

Thought for a moment before smiling "No, we are with you. We are with you to the end!" Marshal said with pride and honor in his tone.

The town cheered and we ran to the compound. The alarm blazed as we went inside. Griffin Soldiers began to mobilized to try to stop us but me and the men, women, and children began to fight back.

"This is a restricted area! You rebels are under-" A Griffin Soldier said before he lost his head to my lightsaber.

Suddenly, 2 Vulture Droids landed between us and the Compound but my Mercenary attack squads open fired on them, destroying them in the process. We made it to the compound and while my squads fired at it, the civilians threw Molotov cocktail at the building. Eventually, the compound exploded. We raided the inside and took the weapons, armor, and tech. The rioters were cheering in victory.

"I thought we couldn't fight the griffins, but we can!" A Civilian said with happiness and confidence.

"Now you got the weapons and ammo to do it. No pony can control you forever. Everypony is a free pony with liberty and rights. Not even Talon can change that. Remember, Talon can only control you, if you let them." I said with pride and smile when I finished.

Later...

I was in my safe house again, drinking the Vampire Wine. The thing about Vampire Wine is that when a normal pony drinks it, they are instantly drunk. However, to Vamponies like me, its like drinking normal wine. I was drinking it in the kitchen, where I put the container at. I suddenly heard the door open. I heard footsteps as the stranger walks in.

"You know, for the most wanted pony, even if you a master of stealth, in the nation - you are not that hard to find. I bet even Talon's goons would be able to find you if I did." The Stranger said

I slowly reached for my lightsaber. I didn’t know who it was but I wasn’t planning to find out.

"I had to see it for myself though..." The stranger says before I see a flash of light and looked to see Metamorphosis, who was smirking "Savoir of a simple colony. And to top it all off, you are the Son of Princess Luna. It's a wonder why the Griffins and the NLR Remnants aren't your own personal soldiers."

I grabbed my vampire wine instead of my lightsaber and smirked. "King Metamorphosis... Nice suit of armor. Titanium?" I said with a smile.

Meta sits next to me.

Meta replied "Pays to be prepared...and it IS titanium."

"You never came to insist when I liberated the colony...."

Meta replied once again, a bit more prideful "We managed to infiltrate their main capital and some other cities. We didn't get your message until AFTER the colony was liberated."

"Alright. So, to what do I own the pleasure?"

"We discovered that the Griffins have a few Mega factories we could use to expand our armies and fleets." Meta said with a evil smile on his face.

"Alright, so what is our first target?"

Meta replied "Astrid III, their factories are the closest and the most reliable. We can make ships there."

"Alright then. Next strike will be their factories." I said with a smile on my face.

Meta said with a smile on his face "Partners then."

"Well, let's get ready...." I replied.
