Phantom War II: Corruption Spreadsby Danny EclipseChaptersHidden Power of the MedallionThe Master PlanBattle of Doom DayThe Vision of FatePrologueTrypticon RisesPrimal ChangelingsAssassination of the Minotaur PresidentHidden Power of the MedallionA few days later… I was sitting on the throne, bored. I needed some entertainment because this was nothing compare to action. My blood was boiling for some action. Unicron’s voice echoed in my mind “I understand where you are going. We need to keep us entertain.” ‘But what? I want to fight, but there isn’t anything challenging.’ I replied thoughtfully. Unicron replied “How about a Gladiator Arena?” I stopped tapping and smiled evilly. “GILDA!!!” I yelled out. A few minutes later, the throne doors opened and Gilda came in a hurry. She kneeled to me, respected me. Gilda said “Yes, my liege?” “Tell me, is there a Gladiator Arena?” Gilda answered “Yes, my liege. We have a few but why, my liege?” I smiled darkly, finally finding something to do. “I’ve been getting bored lately so I want to test my strength in the arena.” Gilda answered to me “Normally the Emperor wouldn’t want to take part…but you are not exactly use with traditions. Not only that but you will prove that you are a true gladiator. I can arrange it, if you wish.” “Make it happened.” I ordered. Gilda nods and immediately leaves. My eyes turned blood red and in the middle of the eye color was purple. The gladiator area thought made my medallion purred with evil, making me grin even more. I was inside a weapons’ chamber with 3 others. 1 Diamond Dog, 1 Griffin, and 1 Pony. The Diamond Dog’s name was Boulder and he was strong in strength, but he was blind. But he can somehow use the ground to understand where he is and all that. The Griffin’s name was Blackwing and he was awfully cocky of himself, thought he was superior to the rest of us. I was actually half tempted to slit his throat. And finally, the Pony. The Pony was a female and she was by far different than any others. I could sense a great power inside her. She was holding back something but I didn’t press the matter. Her name was Cynder. We were given some choices, like the Gungan personal energy shield and some Darksabers. I picked up 2 Darksabers and smiled darkly at my choice. Boulder grabbed an energy shield and a Darksaber, Blackwing grabbed a single Darksaber, and Cynder grabbed an energy shield and Darksaber. Blackwing said “Who would need defense when offense is the greatest. Defense is pathetic and it shows the coward easily.” Cynder remarked “At least I’m not stupid.” Blackwing demanded “What was that!?” “Blackwing, shut up! You’ve been nothing but a pain in my flank and I’m not going to save your flank in this.” I ordered. Blackwing walked to a corner of the chamber and I looked at Cynder. “Hopefully, he dies first.” I whispered to her Cynder giggled and replied “Agreed.” Me and Cynder laughed a bit while Boulder looked ready to fight. Finally, after a few minutes, the doors opened and we walked out into the arena. The place was massive and there was a lot of cheering. We looked around, ready to fight. Gilda said on the arena speaker “Attention ladies and gentlemen, today, the gladiators have arrived and ready to fight! And there opponent today is: The Gorog!” Boulder said “The what?” Blackwing whisper, clearly afraid “Gorog…” Suddenly, the center opens and giant hand comes out of the hole followed by another. Suddenly, a creature emerges and roars out loud. We backed up and I activated both of my Darksabers and got into a battle stance. “What the hell is this thing!?” I demanded to my comrades Boulder answered “I have no idea but it’s big.” “That’s perceptive, for a blind dog. Now, how do I kill it!?” I demanded again. Blackwing answered fearfully “I don’t think you can.” I began to shoot some ghost rays at it and that made the creature roared out in pain. It forms a fist and aim it to me. We jumped away and I jumped on the arm and began to run up it. The creature tried to shake me but I jumped on top of his head and I used my Ghost Stinger and the creature roared in rage. It moves it’s head to grab me but I jumped off and when I got in front of its face, I shot a few Force Pushes at it. I landed with the others and Blackwing took flight and charged. With his darksaber on, he slashed at the creature, only to piss it off. The creature grabbed Blackwing and ate him whole. “Ok, I agree with it for eating Blackwing.” I said, snickering at what I just said. Boulder asked “How do we kill this creature of the ground?” Cynder said “It has to have a weakness…” The creature looks at us and formed his hands into fists and smashed at us. I saw some electric bracelets on it then I got another idea. “Aim for the restraints!” I ordered. Cynder and Boulder were confused but did it anyways. I used my Force Storm to shock both restraints. When the creature roared out in pain and withdraw, he began to ready to slam it’s open palm to the ground where I was but I used my force push to push the hand back to the arena restraint. When it reconnected, I did the same to the other hand. Without its hands, the creature roared at us but all I did was shock the head of it. I grabbed the electric collar around its neck with my telekinesis and began to hold it in place. It tried to move its head left but I pushed it back. Then it did the same to the right but the same result happened. So, it tried to go up and I had enough and slammed its face to the ground and did it again but this time, I jumped on its head and began to attack the metal covering on the head and when I did, I stabbed the wound and it roared so loud, it was like an ear rape. It managed to get its arms loose and I jumped off before it punches itself. Then, the next thing it did was slammed its hands to the ground, causing us to loose balance. It grabbed Boulder and Cynder and threw them across the stadium and I witness it. “Cynder!! Boulder!!” I shouted in fear. I sat on the ground, my medallion beginning to glow purple. ‘Cynder…..Boulder…..’ I thought sadly. The creature looked at me and slam it’s palm on top of me. There were a lot of screaming as they saw this. Gilda said, disappointed “I guess….I overdid it…” Gilda began to cry slightly until there were some gasps. She looked as the palm began to be lifted up. Cynder and Boulder watched as a black light began to radiate from the place. The palm was pushed back as the figure began to form. When the light dimmed, they looked again and see me different. My coat was still black but there were signs of cracks among my flesh that were glowing purple, my mane and tail were grey now and floating upward, my eyes were purple, and my medallion was glowing very brightly. In my grasp was the Dark Star Saber and it was glowing as I stared at the creature. “You shall die this day, creature.” I said darkly, sounding like a demon. The Creature roared and formed a fist and shot it down on me. However, I moved too fast for it to see and I reappeared in front of its head and with a mighty slash of my sword, I cut its head clean off. The creature fell to the ground, dead. I landed down with the power still radiating off me. I put away the sword and I returned to my normal form. Using my telekinesis, 1 Darksaber returned to me. “A souvenir of my actions here and part of my collection.” I stated. As I left, my medallion purred a bit and I stopped and looked at Cynder. “Come with me Cynder, I have some use with you. And Boulder, you shall join my military.” I said to my gladiator comrades. They nodded and they followed me out, leaving the crowd still bewildered on what just happened. Author's Note That's all and I hope you like the new developments! Now I have a Dark Form from my Medallion. What will happen with my new form? Only time will guess this. The Master PlanA few weeks had past [Entering Equestria War IV] since the Arena accident. I had Cynder as my housecarl since I wanted her near me since she proven to me that she was able to handle well on the field. Boulder became one of my military generals and believe it or not, but he was famous in the military personal. Meta had him as his 2nd in command, which I didn’t mind. Cynder was more than well equipped to protecting me. She was wearing Mandalorian Armor of her own design. She didn’t need to wear the helmet and didn’t need the jetpack. The armor around her provided a personal shield, she also had some utilities like Flamethrower or Freeze Ray. She had 2 twin blaster pistols and a lot of different types of grenades. Her armor color was Black and she had the chest plate symbol on it resembling my medallion’s symbol. She was rather happy to have me by her side. We were waiting for the word to arrive to us that the Minotaur Kingdom has fallen to Iron Will. The waiting ended when my Changeling Spectre came inside the chamber. “Report, my little changeling.” I ordered. The Spectre replied “My liege, Iron Will has taken the capital, like you had predicted.” “Excellent. Were there any resistance?” Spectre replied “Nothing we couldn’t handle. They tried to make the highest Counsel Man become the new King but Iron Will and out forces eradicated the remaining resistance. Now, Iron Will has control of the Capital. We released the dark energy mist as you ordered and the people are under the influence and are loyal to Iron Will.” “Excellent. Everything is coming to place. All there is now are the Zebras…” I trailed off at the word “Zebra”. Cynder asked “Emperor Danny, may I make a suggestion?” “Permission granted.” Cynder explained “Since Iron Will has control over the Capital of the Minotaur Kingdom, we should focus our forces and resources to the Zebras. When we take them over, you will have complete control over 3 world powers, plus the allies of the Primal Changelings.” “The suggestion is great but the Zebras are an intelligent race, since they develop technology that can rival the Phantom Consortium. They will forever resist us, even if I could take them to the influence of the dark side.” I told her. Cynder answered, rather very darkly “Then eradicate the vermin, kill the Zebras.” That thought crossed my mind and my medallion purred at the thought of all Zebras dead, destroying the 5th world power would make the Phantom Consortium as the 1st greatest faction. But then, an idea occurred to me, why not enslave them and take away their free will? That thought made my medallion purred even more. The thought, resistance is futile, made me think about when encounter that debris a few decades ago, during the time Celestia and when Clockwork and I went to see why those things wanted to take over Equestria. “I have a better idea. Adjutant!” I shouted. The android came in a few minutes later, kneeling before me. Adjutant asked “Yes master?” “Prepare a salvation fleet, we have to pick up some parts for my new master plan.” Adjutant nodded and the Spectre left with her. I looked at Cynder. “Cynder, you are to stay with me at all times. I rather I be with friends with somepony who is my friend.” Cynder said “Yes Emperor Danny-“ “And didn’t I tell you to stop that?” Cynder blushes in embarrassment and said “Apologizes Danny, it’s just that…I’m not used to the fact that you are royalty.” “It’s ok.” Later… I was on a GS-100 salvage ship. There were an entire fleet of these ships. We were approaching the Badlands, far from Chrysalis’s Changeling Empire. The ships were approaching the coordinates that I gave them and when we arrived, there was a massive wreckage of debris parts of a ship. Cynder and Adjutant were awed by the amount of debris while I smirked. “So, it wasn’t moved or discovered…” I said. Adjutant asked “Wha-What is all of this, my liege?” “This, Adjutant, is parts of a Borg Tactical Cube.” Cynder asked “What kind of race is the Borg?” “That’s hard.” Cynder asked again “Why?” “Because the Borg was millions of races under 1 cybernetic mind, call the Queen. It was like the Changelings but different. Me and Clockwork discovered that Borg remnants had crash landed here a few million years ago, during Nightmare Moon’s banishment. We killed off any surviving Borg and hid the wreckage with a special spell to block any uninvited seekers. Adjutant, I want the ships to recover any technology you find here and take it back to the Mega Factory. Also, salvage all Borg Drones because we will need their technology and Nanoprobes. If any drones are still alive, kill them on sight. Don’t let them touch you unless they are already dead.” I ordered. Adjutant replied “Yes sir.” I smiled evilly and the medallion purred with the pleasure of my master plan. We have returned after salvaging all the parts from the wreckage. Adjutant began to examine the wreckage and I grinned darkly when I looked down on the long dead drones. Cynder said “Why are these Nanoprobes so useful that you enjoy the thought of using them?” I stopped and turned to them. “Borg Nanoprobes has a special role for why the Borg is millions of creatures. The Nanoprobes assimilate any living being and turns them under the control of the collective. Due to this, those poor souls are under the control of the Hive Mind. Adjutant will be the Hive Mind Queen, since they will need a robotic android to control them.” I explained to them. Adjutant said “I-I’m honored, my liege.” I began to leave with Cynder. When we left, Cynder came up next to me. Cynder asked “You don’t trust her, do you?” I chuckled and replied “Not one bit. That is why I downloaded a failsafe devise inside her mind. If she tries to order my death, she automatic shuts down and reprogram to remain faithfully loyal to me. So, she can’t turn against me.” Cynder said “Nice plan. So, when will we use them against the Zebras?” “When Adjutant managed to reprogram the Nanoprobes and we put them into that transport missile. We will target every Zebra town, city, etc. We will become the greatest power to have ever existed.” Cynder said “Sounds like a plan to me.” “Soon, I’ll have an army of slaves that Sombra could only dream of!” I shouted and then began to laugh evilly. Meanwhile with Lightning Dust… Lightning said with hate “Damn Danny and his Consortium! He’s always getting stronger and what of me? He refuses to send me and my Shadowbolts to combat! We promise revenge against Rainbow and that is what I’m going to get!” Lightning began to think of a way to get her revenge but she came up with a new idea. Lightning said, full of venom and pleasure “I’ll take over when Danny is gone! Meta will follow me or he will die!” She began to laugh out loud for her plan. Author's Note That's all and did you noticed that Lightning Dust is starting to act like Starscream? Also, the Borg are here! And my master plan is to turn them into Borg Zebras! Will this work or not? Battle of Doom DayA few weeks later… I was mediating in my bedroom since I felt a disturbance in my medallion. Using its power, I began to search for the reason why and I found something out. A certain pony of my past had been liberated from my influence. While it happened a while ago, I noticed it just now. My meditation was interrupted when there was a knock on the door. “Come in.” I said. The door opens and both Cynder and Dusk came in. “To what do I own the pleasure?” I asked Dusk replied “I heard about this new plan that you call “Operation: Assimilation”. What is it about?” “My plan is to use the Borg Nanoprobes to conquer the Zebras. Once I have them under my control, the army of Zebras will be the least of your worries.” Dusk said “Alright…” “But, I do have 1 concern…” Cynder asked “Who?” “It’s Lightning Dust. She’s been dying to get some action; she wants revenge against the Equestria Empire.” Cynder said to me, curious why I would be concern about 1 lonely pony “She means nothing to you.” “True but if she begins to rally some Consortium Forces to her side, which will end badly for us.” I answered. Dusk said “You have a point…” “So, I need eyes and ears on her every action. If she plans a Conspiracy, I want to hear it. I need every reason to place her under control.” Cynder told me “Well, the men have been dying for some action…” “Then it is time for some entertainment. Adjutant is almost done with the project, we can have 1 final confrontation with the Zebras.” Dusk said “Sounds like a lovely time for the men to finally stretch their legs and smell the smoke.” “Dusk, how about you join us?” Dusk said “I’m honored.” “Let’s make this the Day of Doom for the Zebras.” I stated with evil. Later… “This is what you wanted. Action on the battlefield.” I told Lightning Dust, who was beside me. Lightning asked “So, we are getting to have some fun?” “Until Adjutant has reported to me that the warhead is ready. Until then, have fun.” I confirmed to her. Lightning cried out in glee and rallied her Shadowbolts. Our entire armada was at the Zebra Front, preparing for battle. I also mobilized the Grand Army of the Phantom Consortium for this “Doom Day” as I called it. When the men heard of it, they shouted out with glee and joy, finally getting some action for a first time in a long time. I looked to the ground and saw millions of Ponies, Droids, and Changelings. Siege Vehicles were on the ground as well. I walked to an Imperial Dropship. “Take me to the Front Lines, I’ve got a battle to win.” The Pilot replied “Yes sir.” The Dropship took off, heading to the main front. The Armada of Ships had every ship in the Phantom Consortium and my Capital Ship, The Eclipse, was behind the fleet but it was taking a role of providing massive armadas of fighters. Lightning and her Squad Leaders were leading the offense, Meta and Boulder were leading the offense on the ground, Dusk and her Primal Changelings were with the ground forces. Admiral Stukov, a Super Tactical Droid who had an A.I inside his head, was leading the forces on the Merciless. Captain Duran was on the Eclipse, using the Superlaser when needed. My Dropship landed and I was greeted by Boulder and Meta, who was in the Odin. I step off the dropship. “Greetings, my friends.” I said when I was on the ground. Boulder replied “I knew you couldn’t avoid this final battle.” “Give me the status of our progress.” Meta answered “They have a few Scarabs on the field and they are as touch as Demons of Tartarus.” “Has the enemy lighted up?” I asked. Boulder said “Not one bit, they have prepared for this fight. They got everything they have on this battlefield. This will be a battle to be remembered in the history of the Phantom Consortium!” “Indeed, my blind friend! Come warriors!! CHARGE!!!” I shouted. We gave the battle cry and we charged into the open battle. There was blaster fire everywhere, turbolaser fire from above. The smell of smoke, the dead bodies everywhere. I pulled out my lightsabers and continue to the charge, not stopping. The men following me and Meta was firing his guns at every vehicle and infantry they had. I blocked any blaster bolts that came at me and slashed any Zebra Troopers who got too close. Lightning said on the comm. channel “Keep formation and blast them!” Lightning and her entire armada of fighters were approaching the enemy fleet. The enemy ships and fighters were shooting them, trying to take them down. Lightning, on the other hand, was having none of it. Red Pilot #1 said “Gold Leader, this is suicide!” Lightning replied “Keep charging!” They managed to get past through most of the Turbolaser fire. Lightning had been outmaneuvering the crossfire. Blue Pilot #3 said, panicking “Ma’am!” Lightning shouted “NOW!!!” The Bombers, which was Black Squad, had fired their torpedoes and they hit their target. Lightning and the other squads began to shoot the other ships, evading any crossfire. Lightning was skilled pilot since she was avoiding the fighters fire against her tail. Lightning said with glee “Now THIS is awesome!” Meanwhile with the Zebra General… Zebra General yelled to his soldier “WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY WON’T STOP CHARGING!?!?!” Zebra Soldier replied “Sir, they won’t stop advancing. The Scarabs are barely holding them back since they have a Superlaser that could destroy it. And our vehicles are too busy being destroyed by that war machine.” Zebra General answered “Then have the Scarabs target the main assault force!” There was beeping and a transmission opened. It was a Zebra Commander from the field. Zebra General said “Report.” Zebra Commander answered “Sir, our forces…their dying to the Wrath of Danny Eclipse!” Zebra General said, clearly angry “Damn it! Have ALL Scarabs focus fire on that Pegasus!! WIPE HIS PRESENCE FROM THE FACE OF EQUESTRIA!!!” Zebra Commander replied “Yes sir!” [Theme song plays] I was in my Dark Form, cutting down Zebras and laughing about it. The men were behind me, following me as I dashed forward with the 2 lightsabers. “Is this everything have against me!? It’s pathetic!!” I said in my demonic voice. I was stopped when I saw 3 Scarabs aiming their laser cannons at me. All of the Zebra Military was aiming for me now and I laughed like a maniac and cut them down, one-by-one. However, I stopped when I saw the 3 Scarab Lasers shoot at me. I raised a shield to defend myself and it held but it was cracking. ‘Ok, I totally underestimated the power of these things.’ I thought. The Eclipse fired it’s superlaser at one of the Scarabs, destroying it in the process. I held the shield up, but it was slowly cracking. ‘I need more power!!’ The ground around me began to crack and the ground began to form small ruined rock. The wind build up and I felt different. I was more power and purple lightning formed. The cracks on my flesh restore but markings were formed, purple markings. “Now THIS is what I’M talking about!!” I said in glee. I jumped into the sky for a mere seconds and dove to the ground, disappearing into the shadows. Meta said, bewildered “Wha-Where did he go!?” Boulder said, confused and shocked as well “I-I can’t sense him! He’s gone!” They looked around, trying to find me. Suddenly, they heard a crash and looked. They were shocked to see me, holding the Dark Star Saber, having to cut a Scarab in half. I smiled evilly, revealing fangs in front of my mouth like a Vampire. The Sword was glowing bright purple and my medallion was glowing purple as well. My eyes were different. The pupils were white while the whiteness around my pupils were purple. Purple smoke was leaving my eyes as I looked at the last Scarab. I dashed towards it and slashed it in half! I stared at the Zebra Forces, who were beginning to scream and run for their lives. I smiled evilly and dashed to one, grabbing him, and cracked his neck in half. I drop him and he fell to the ground. I took off to the sky to see the battle. There were a lot of corpses and I smiled evilly. My eyes glowed as a mist came across the battlefield, only to be consumed by the dead. Suddenly, the dead rose from the graves and began to charge forward. “Come, my legion of the death, purge the living Zebras of their presence in this battlefield!” I ordered to my legion. The Dead began to charge forward, only attacking the Zebras. The Zebras were shooting them down but nothing was stopping them. I laughed so evilly, the chilling of the laughter brought a shiver down everyone’s spine. Boulder said “You know, I’m glad I’m on his side.” Meta agreed “Yeah. I hate to be the enemy who dares oppose him.” Meanwhile with Adjutant… She had finished reprogramming trillions of nanoprobes. She placed them all into a war head and opened a transmission to me. Adjutant said to me on the Communications Channel “My liege, the war head is ready.” “Alright, let me call the fall back signal.” I replied to her message. Adjutant acknowledged it and prepare to fire it. “Everypony!! FALL BACK!!! THE WAR HEAD IS READY TO FIRE!!!” I ordered to everyone. They acknowledged and began to retreat. I had the dead keep attacking. The Grand Army and Armada began to fall back to safety. After a few minutes, we were out of Zebra territory and I gave the order. We watched from afar as the war head had appeared above the Zebra Empire and exploded, spreading millions of nanoprobes into the Zebras. A few hours later… Me, Adjutant, Dusk, Cynder, and Meta came to see what had happened and they gasped. The Zebras were covered in metal plating and had barely any flesh showing, besides their head. They kneeled to us as we approached. “Now this was the best idea ever.” I said, impressed. Adjutant agreed “Indeed. So, is this the end of our mission?” “No, there is still some things that need to be done.” Cynder said “Well, we can think of them later, right?” “Indeed. Let us go and feast in our victory!” I shouted with glee. They cheered with me and we began to return to the Griffin Capital. Author's Note So, that is the fate of the Zebras. However, even if the fighting has stopped...for now...I'm not finished. There is, but 1 or 2, chapters left before going to Phantom War III, which will be about the current events BEFORE Equestria War VIII. Hope you like it so far, because it is almost time for me and Sonicdash123's plan! The Vision of FateShortly after the feast… I had arrived to my bedroom that night, happy to know that all the loose ends of the NLR were finally been dealt with. Now, I could return to Equestria as a Hero, achieving something that my brother, Charming Thunder, had failed to achieve. I turned off the light and become comfy to my bed. I fell asleep into peaceful dreams a few minutes later… I opened my eyes inside the dreamscape, looking around to see my mysterious place. I looked around, trying to find out where I was. I finally realized that I was on a mysterious platform on some sort of building. Figures began to form and I knew them. There was me, Charming Thunder, and the Mane 6 with their elements! Also, Charming was wearing the Medallion of Primus! My dream self was in his Dark Super Form that I had achieved in that Battle of Doom Day. Charming was different was well, he was white with Alicorn Wings and he whiteness in his eyes was blue while his pupils were white. He had his Lightsaber and so did my vision self. We were both Alicorns, our medallions glowing with power. Danny said “So, you managed to defeated Brutalight and her crew, but they will forever be inside them Charming! You know that evil will forever be there, never stopping!” Charming begged “Brother, this madness must end!” Danny shouted back “Never!!” Charming told Danny “There is still good within you Danny! I won’t give up on you!!” Twilight said “Danny, return to the light!” Danny yelled out with all of his might “NEVER!!! I AM THE DOMINATOR!!! I AM THE CONQUERER!!! I! AM!! DANNY!!! ECLIPSE!!!!” Danny charged at Charming. Their lightsabers met and they slashed at each other. Danny slashed and slashed, not giving up. Charming was being pushed back by the forces of those slashes. Danny wasn’t stopping, he was smiling like a mad man. When Danny did one more slash, Charming was send back, losing his lightsaber. Danny went and pinned him to the ground. I was standing on my back hooves and 1 of my lightsabers, my right lightsaber, was in front of your face. Danny said “Now I will destroy you Charming, like how I destroyed Sunset Shimmer.” Charming yelled “NO!!!” Charming used his levitation spell and his lightsaber returned to his hoof and he swung at my lightsaber, knocking me away from you as you get up. Charming Thunder was instantly consumed by his hatred, ignoring the pleas of his friends, and he recklessly charged at Danny. We clashed blades, not giving an inch up. They began to slash at each other, countering blow-to-blow. Charming got into a distance and shot red lightning at Danny, but Danny blocked it with his lightsaber and send purple light back at Charming, which shocked him. Charming was unable to act now and Danny took that chance. He jumped in front of Charming and slash down at him, making Charming loose balance and fall to the ground. Danny kicked him a few inches away and began to slowly walk towards him. Charming got up and reactivated his lightsaber. They clashed blows again but Charming was a bit dazed, but that didn’t slow him down. Danny jumped and got behind Charming and they clashed again. However, Charming was grabbed by the head from Danny and he threw Charming to the sky, which Charming hit a TIE Fighter by accident and made him fall a few feet to another platform, which Danny jumped down to. Danny charged, lightsaber ready to strike. Charming got back up and they clashed lightsabers again. But this time, Charming was striking at him. However, it was short lived when Danny blocked the strikes and use a minor force push to make Charming loose lightsaber control and Danny took the chance and cut Charming’s robotic hoof off. Charming fell to the floor, clearly in pain. Danny said, confident than ever “Now, to finish what you had started…” I was stopped when Twilight had jumped down to the platform. I looked at her and the Mane 6 came down. They began to charge but I force gripped them, holding them in place. Danny said “Did you really think you had a chance?” I was launched forward and looked through the smoke to see Charming had regained his senses from the Dark Side. The Mane 6 was with him now, happy to see him normal again. Danny said, impressed “So, still standing from my attack. No matter, you can’t fight without your lightsaber.” I slowly began to walk over to them but Charming put a shield up. I laughed but stopped when I felt an energy surge and looked at the source. The Elements of Harmony were around the necks of the Mane 6, getting ready to fire. My eyes narrowed and I slashed at the shield, scattering it. Danny yelled “NO!!!” Danny used Force Storm on them, shocking them. They fell to the ground in pain. Charming, who witness it, roared with anger. But he couldn’t do anything. I was about to strike down on Charming until blue mist escaped my lips. Danny said, knowing what it was “You’re joking, right?” I turned around and see Sombra’s ghost. He wasn’t alone either; he was with the Jedi Spirits. Sombra said “We won’t let you do this Danny…” Danny replied darkly “Like you can stop me, Father.” Yodi said “Alone, he is not. Outmatch, you are.” Danny laughs evilly, clearly not amused. Danny said “You, against me!? 1 question for you. Have you ever considered how I got my training!?” Suddenly, 4 spirits appeared and it were my Sith Mentors, they were smiling at the sight of the 4 Jedi Spirits. Anakin said darkly “Count Dooku…” Dooku greeted back “Hello again Anakin, Obi-Wan, Master Yodi, and my old Padawan; Qui-Gon.” Obi-Wan said, hateful “Hello Dooku.” Starkiller said “Hello Darth Vader…” Anakin replied “Starkiller…” Sidious said, crackling evilly a bit “Hello, my little green friend.” Yodi replied “Darth Sidious…” Revan said, a bit sad “Too bad no one here is my old enemy.” Yodi said “Darth Revan, are you not?” Revan reassured himself “At least I wasn’t forgotten by the Jedi Counsel.” Danny said, harshly “Are we done with the meet and greet?” They looked at each other, drawing out their ghostly lightsabers. They charged at each other. Anakin vs. Starkiller, Obi-Wan vs. Dooku, Qui-Gon vs. Revan, and Yodi vs. Sidious. Sombra came over to Danny, ready to attack. Danny said “Please…You are nothing to me. Handle him, why don’t you Nightmare.” Suddenly, Nightmare Moon had appeared in front of Danny. She was eager to fight Sombra, reasons were her own. They clashed blades that were certain. Danny said “Now, where was I-?” Danny sees that during the commotion, The Mane 6 was back up and had finished charging their Elements. They fired the Friendship Rainbow at me and it hit me directly. Danny yelled “NNNNNOOOOOOO!!!” The Rainbow consumed Danny and a bright white flashed happened, blinding me from what was happening. I screamed out in my bed. I looked around, it was morning. I was sweating a lot and my medallion was glowing bright. Luckily, my screams were not heard since I made the room sound-proof. “Wha-What was that!? Was that…the future!?” I said, afraid at what just transpired in my mind. I got down and looked at my medallion. “Elements of Insanity…never heard such a thing…But I HAVE heard of the Temple of Insanity. That’s my next target, to get answers.” I called Dusk and Cynder and they came to my quarters a few minutes later… Cynder said “What do you want to talk about?” “I’m leaving.” Dusk and Cynder said together in unison “WHAT!?!” “I saw a vision of the future. It told of my downfall if I don’t find a way to change it. I must travel to the Temple of Insanity to seek out answers on why I saw what I just saw.” I told them. Dusk asked “But- What about the Phantom Consortium!?” “That’s what I’m going to. Dusk, I need you to watch over the Phantom Consortium during my absence. Cynder, I want you to come with me. I can only trust the 2 of you and because Cynder and I have fought together against the Gorog, I want her by my side. Dusk, I need you to watch over my army. Don’t let Lightning do nothing stupid. If she does, then kill her. I won’t allow stupid rulers rule over this land. Meta is in charge during my absence but Dusk; I want you to keep an eye on him. The only ones I’m taking with me are Cynder and Trypticon. Remember, don’t let Lightning take control. I am going to bet that once she takes over, she will target the Equestria Empire.” Dusk said “Well…alright! You can count on me.” “I know I can.” I reassured her. So, me and Cynder left on the Nemesis and began our adventure. Author's Note Well, that is the end of that! But in the next one...That will be when events are current. Danny and Cynder are now on a search, looking for answers. Prologue2 ½ months later… Danny was sitting on his new throne chair. On top of it held a dark crystal, it increased my power greatly. A lot of things had transpired since I heard the 2nd Death Star’s destruction. I went over the documents that Talon had held for secret projects. I ended most of them, including the Hybrid Project. However, there were a few that I did enjoy having. Dusk, my daughter, has been looking for lands where she can begin making her own hive at. Although my daughter hasn’t found the land yet, I asked Adjutant why Dusk would be looking for a place to make a hive. She told me that Changeling Queens needed to lay eggs to make their children. But a thought occurred to me; ‘Was she going out with someone?’. Well, it turns out to be that in order to make eggs, Dusk would need to go on a dating spree. Dusk had already targeted my friends, The Mane 6 (Except for Rainbow, she knows Rainbow is her mother). Turns out that with a changeling, she didn’t need to have sex with just a male but it could work with a female as well. So, she left me to do her dating spree. I, however, had made plans to invading against another former NLR ally, the Minotaurs. I had already fought them in the past, during a war long after the Discord War but before Order 66. Anyway, I had send 3 Spectre, Changelings with high tech gear for stealth operations, to investigate the Minotaur Empire. After a few days, my agents returned to report. “Report.” I ordered 1 of the Spectre spoke first “My Lord, we have discover something that can easy our war against them!” “Spit it out then.” The same Spectre replied “The Minotaur Empire is currently at war with itself. A Civil War.” “Interesting…” Another Spectre said “That’s not it, my lord. The Rebels are led by Iron Will, one of NLR Generals. He and the Rebels are losing the war.” “Then it is time that we lend him a helping hoof.” I got into a PLY-3000 and it took off, heading to the Minotaur Rebel Base. The Minotaur Rebel base was on alert. My ship had landed and a squad of Minotaurs, armed with Blasters, came to greet the visitor. The Landing Ramp lowered and I came down, in my Revan Uniform to hide my appearance. When I got down, they kept their blasters at me. A Minotaur Guard demanded “Who are you!?” “My name is not important. I wish to see Iron Will, Leader of the Resistance.” I said, coldly. The Minotaur Guards didn’t listen but I couldn’t wait. So, I began to force choke them. They lifted from the ground, choking and gasping for breath. I let go and they landed to the ground, panting in air. Another Minotaur Guard said “Fine! We will take you to him! Just don’t do that again.” “Can’t make any promises.” I said, making them shiver. They shiver and I follow the guards. We arrived to Iron Will’s tent and I was let in. Iron Will looked at me, curious on why a pony from Equestria would be doing in these lands. Iron Will asked “Who are you?” “I’ll talk…after the guards are gone.” I replied. The Guards aimed their blasters again but quickly lowered them, very fearful about me. Will motion the guards to leave and I smirked under the mask. When they left, I made the entrance sealed shut and made the room soundproof. I took off the mask and lowered the hood, revealing my true identity. Will gasped in horror as he looked at me, backing up. Iron Will was shocked to see me “Y-You’re-“ “Indeed. I’m the Son of Princess Luna and Emperor of the Griffin Empire…” Iron Will demanded “What do you want!?” “To help you.” Iron Will was shocked again “Come again!?” “You don’t have the proper means to fight against the government. I took over the Griffin Lands with force to end Talon’s pathetic reign. After I took over, I changed everything. Now, I need more power and this land will do. But, there is just…problem.” Iron Will said “Problem?” “You.” Iron Will gulped in fear. If I was telling the truth, which he wasn’t doubt if I was, Iron Will could feel great power radiating from me as I began to close in on Iron Will. I couldn’t help but chuckle. “Calm down Iron Will, I’m not going to kill you.” I said, smiling darkly Iron Will relaxed a bit, but not enough. Iron Will asked “If I’m the problem, then why aren’t you going to kill me.” “Because who would lead the Minotaur Government? No, not me. However, you would suit nicely.” Iron Will demanded “What do you mean by that!?” “This!” I shouted. I showed my glowing medallion and it fired a purple beam at Iron Will. It hit him square at the chest and his eyes turned purple. “You belong to me now, Iron Will.” I said, very darkly. Iron Will asked “What are your orders, my liege?” “You are to take over this land in my name. Claim the throne of this land and become royalty of it. The Phantom Consortium will aid you and provide you resources needed to make it all possible.” I told him. Iron Will declared “We shall begin to attack their fortresses and cities!” “Indeed, but for now, we need to get you mobilized, ready for action. I shall help you by giving you the blueprints. As for the resources, you need to take over a few Factories.” Iron Will acknowledged “Yes Lord Danny.” I left the tent and returned to my ship and began to leave. Later… I was in my bedroom, sleeping. My medallion began to glow and that was when I appeared somewhere off world. The place was a barren wasteland and I found myself in a lock up from the look of things. However, I looked behind me and I cried out in shock. In front of me was the head of a massive robot. It looked like it was stasis. “Wha-What is this?” I asked in surprised. A dark but familiar voice replied “Welcome to my realm, my Champion.” I gulped and turned around, revealing the face of a giant robot. I cried out in shock. “Who-Who are you?” The head replied “I am Unicron the Destroyer. You are the bearer of my dark spark, my heart.” “You mean the medallion?” Unicron answered “Indeed.” I turned and looked at the head of the other robot. “Who is this?” Unicron replied “His name is Trypticon, once a great and powerful robot. However, he has failed Megatron.” “Why show me him?” Unicron stated with some sadness “His usefulness has come to an end to Megatron. However, I see him to be a worthy tool for you.” “I can use him?” I asked with curious. Unicron answered “I can give you his blueprints, but Trypticon can’t leave to go to you.” I nod and a blueprint chip appeared in my grasp and I grabbed it. Unicron told me “That chip contains both Trypticon Robot Form and his transformation; The Nemesis.” I nodded and began to fade away. Unicron said “We shall talk again soon.” I nod and faded from the dream world. Trypticon RisesI get up and my medallion was glowing and my eyes flashed purple and back. “Adjutant! Ready an Equestrian Empire Shuttle for me to head to the wreckage of the 1st and 2nd Death Star!” I told her Adjutant replied on the speaker “Why, Emperor Danny?” “I’ve just got a brilliant plan.” I just told her. Adjutant nods and prepares a transport. I go to grab my Revan Uniform and my Lightsabers. After a few hours, I went to the landing platform and began my departure. My 1st course is to the wreckage of the 1st Death Star. I had arrived to the wreckage and hover the shuttle above it. I drop off the ship into a dive and after a few minutes, ready to hit the ground, I did a flip and landed to the ground and shatter the earth when I used the force to aid in my landing. “Now, to make my plan come true…Trypticon will rise again!” I said as I began to glow. My medallion began to glow purple as my eyes turned complete purple. Whiteness turned to purple and my pupils were pure white. I lifted my hooves up and purple lightning came out and went to grab the wreckage. Metal Parts began to come together and they began to shape, fold, and mending together. After a few minutes, all the parts were together and created a half created Trypticon. Purple steam was radiating from my eyes and I looked at the half created titan. “Now to get the other side and into the badlands.” I closed my eyes and began to focus to the badlands and both me and Half Trypticon teleported away, the ship returning to the Phantom Consortium. There was a big flash and both me and Trypticon appeared in front of the ruined wreckage of the 2nd Death Star. Like before, purple lightning came out of my hooves and both Half made Trypticon and the 2nd Death Star wreckage were touched. The pieces from the wreckage began to merge with Trypticon. After 5 more minutes, the pieces became one with Trypticon and he was completely built. I made Trypticon to follow only my orders and only I can control him. I put a symbol on his chest that resemble to my medallion’s symbol. I flew up to the top of his head and suddenly, I turned intangible and enter into Trypticon’s mind. I appeared into what looked like his computer core. My avatar was still me but I looked at the menu button and saw everything on how to use Trypticon. I touched the A.I adjutant I installed in Trypticon and I became the very being of Trypticon. My eyes opened and I saw everything Trypticon was seeing. I AM Trypticon now, so I had complete control over him. I clench my left hand and looked out. I had everything. Radar, infrared, etc. I also had my Dark Death Beam that was based from The Death Star’s Super Laser and I had a transformation that I called “The Nemesis Protocol”. Trypticon could transform into a flying fortress, design to fight like a titan. I needed to test Trypticon to see if he was capable for combat. I began to think of a suitable test and smirked. My long range sensors could detect a fleet of NLR ships from the Zebra lands. They were heading to the Minotaur lands and I didn’t like it. So, I transformed into the Nemesis and began to fly to the fleet at high speeds, even though it should be slow. 30 minutes later… I had arrived to intercepted the fleet. The ships halted their position. I could make out 4 Munificent-class star frigates and 2 Lucrehulk-class Droid Control Ships. They hailed me to find out what Trypticon was. Zebra Captain said “Attention unidentified vessel. State your name and business.” I replied with Trypticon’s voice “I AM TRYPTICON, TITAN OF THE PHANTOM CONSORTIUM!! I WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO JOIN WITH THE MINOTAUR GOVERNMENT!! FEEL MY WRATH!!” I started to move towards the nearest Frigate. The ships began to open fire but I transformed back to my titan form. My shoulders opened up and I fired a series of missiles. The Missiles hit the frigate and destroyed it. The Frigates began to focus fire at me and I jumped up into the air. When I did, I did a 360 degree spin with my tail hitting 2 of the other frigates. Finally, I opened my mouth and a bunch of dark energy bolts hit the last frigate, destroying it. I looked at the 2 Droid Control Ships, which look like they were preparing to retreat. I opened my mouth and a dark energy beam build up in my mouth. The beam hit the 1st Droid Control Ship and destroyed it. I decided to invade the last ship. I transformed into the Nemesis and took off. Using my turrets, I targeted the shield generator and after destroying it, I targeted the engines. After destroying the engines, I got on top of the Droid Control ship and that was when cables were deployed onto the ship. I released the cables onto several sectors on the ship. When they hit their target, I opened their drills and deploy droids that were in them and the droids board the ship. My bottom turrets attacked any of the defense turrets that the Droid Control Ship had. After what seemed like 5 minutes, I got all the data the Zebra Kingdom and recalled my troops. They returned to the cables and I detached from the Droid Control Ship and I transformed into my titan form again. I came crashing down onto the ship, destroying it. I transformed back into the Nemesis and began to head back to the Mega Factory. Meanwhile with Dusk... Dusk was walking into Canterlot, disguised as a Pegasus who held close resemblance to Rainbow Dash. Only difference was that her mane and tail was Cyan, her coat was Peach. She had Cyan eye color and her CM looked like a Thunder Bolt that was colored green and teal. She was looking around, already making plans to get to Twilight Sparkle. She arrived to a wedding and looked at the lucky couple, Charming Thunder and Twilight Sparkle. 'So, Uncle Charming is now married. But I need to get Twilight and he is going to be in the way. Of course, I could change his schedule and make him go to a visit to Ponyville for a few days while I have my time with Twilight.' Dusk thought carefully. Dusk goes up to the couple and happy shook hooves with Charming. Charming said "I've never seen you around here. You new here?" Dusk replied "Indeed. I'm a traveler from a distant village, looking for some place to lay low. You mind helping me?" Twilight replied "I will help you." "Thank you Princess Twilight." Dusk said. Dusk and Twilight leave the wedding room and when they did, Dusk took Twilight a new room and locked the door. Twilight said "Why are we here?" "I have plans for you Twilight. I won't hurt you, I just need your DNA." Dusk said as she reverts to her true form. Twilight gasped in shock and Dusk made sure the room became sound proof and sealed all access points. Dusk eyes began to glow as she approach Twilight, who was backing up. Twilight said "W-What do you want with me?" Dusk cooed "Nothing dear Twilight. I'm here to gain love from you and get your DNA from you." "Did Chrysalis send you!?" Twilight accused. Dusk replied "Chrysalis? That wretched Changeling Queen? No. I am a creation, a Changeling Queen with Rainbow's DNA made in a cloning facility. I am going to start my new hive: The Primal Changelings. We will be a new breed of Changelings, more advance with adaption. We will be Half Changelings, Half Ponies. Primal Changelings, as I call myself and my children. We are different from normal, more modified. We won't need to rely on love anymore. We could eat normally, sleep normally, and talk through our own hive mind. However, to begin this breed. I need the DNA of ponies. And Princess Twilight, you happen to be my first target. My child will take an appearance like you." Twilight was shocked. This Changeling wasn't a part of Chrysalis or her hive. This was a half-breed Changeling/Pony Hybrid, preparing to lay eggs of future 'Primal' changelings of her own species. However, Twilight stopped thinking when Dusk's horn glowed teal and Twilight's eyes turned from normal to similar eyes of Dusk's. "Let the breeding begin." Twilight felt more....lustful. She wanted to have some fun with Dusk now and the 2 locked into a kiss. Dusk made some extra precautions that after their 'fun', Twilight will have no memory about the changeling appearance, her plans, and their 'fun'. Author's Note Hope you like it! Now we have Trypticon on the team, we can expect great darkness in the future. Also, with Dusk preparing to make the "Primal Changelings", what can anyone do? Only time and faith can tell. Hope you like it a lot and gives it a thumb's up. Primal ChangelingsA few weeks later… Dusk was in the new land known as Zerus. It is a land between the Badlands and Griffin Lands. It was untouched by both factions and it was actually undetected. Dusk had been busy since her encounter with Twilight. She met the other Element Bearers, except for Rainbow, and had some ‘fun’ with them. Now, with her in these lands, she made preparations for the birth of her new hive. As a Changeling Queen, she was pregnant with any pony or creature she came into contact with. She was in what she called “The Birth Pool”. She called it that shortly after she gave birth to 5 changeling eggs. She genetically began to modifying them, like how I modified her. The new changes were that these Changelings will be able to eat normally and can feast on love as a secondary source. However, when a Primal eats meat of other creatures, the essences help that primal evolve and become greater. She already knew these 5 eggs were females, Changeling instinct. So, she named her daughters. The first was Ruby [Twilight’s Changeling Counterpart], Clarity [Rarity’s Changeling Counterpart], Sweet Apple [Applejack’s Changeling Counterpart], Harmonic Butterfly [Fluttershy’s Changeling Counterpart], and Wild Candy [Pinkie Pie’s Changeling Counterpart]. Unlike normal pony birthing, the aging process fast forwards. Within only a few days, they will be full grown and hatch. A few days later… Dusk haven’t left her precious changeling eggs, but she DID kill anything too close to the pond, such as animal predictors. I began to hear them shaking and crack. The time has come. They cracked up and 5 grown changelings came out. They looked at each other and then looked at Dusk. Dusk said “Good, you are finally hatched.” Ruby asked “Mommy?” I nodded and they all came to hug Dusk. Dusk said “It is good to see my daughters up and about. You are my 5 first daughters so we must work together to create the drones.” Dusk began to teach them ways of the changelings and ponies and began to work together as a class of training. My ship, The Soulless One, began to land on a nearby platform that was construction when Zerus was discovered. Dusk had told me a few days ago that she had given birth to her first 5 daughters. I had landed and was greeted by Dusk and her daughters. “So, these are your 5 children.” I asked. Dusk said “Yes father, they are.” “Will they become royalty or drones?” Dusk answered “Royalty.” “Then I feel like a grandpa then.” I said. I chuckle when I said that. Dusk giggled too and the 5 girls tackled me into a hug, which I happily hugged back. When I finished, me and Dusk went to talk while the 5 girls began to organized the new drones that were recently born. “So, you had made contact with Twilight and her friends, except for Rainbow and Charming.” I said. Dusk said “You will not believe what I had to go through to get to Twilight. I had to help Shining Armor take care of a bunch of NLR loyalist.” “You didn’t-“ I said before being interrupted Dusk answered “No. I came into a custom disguise and called myself: Nova. I fake printed Nova into military records. Nova is an ex-black ops agent who specialized in hoof-to-hoof combat. She’s a master marksman and she is a Ghost Class Military Personal.” “Ghost Class….So they began making-“ Dusk explained “Yes, but it is only the prototype. I managed to steal the gear and burnt the records of their existence.” “Excellent.” Dusk said “I met your brother, father…” I paused for a second. I closed my eyes. “How is he?” I asked. Dusk cooed “Awww, I didn’t think you care.” I opened my eyes and lightning began to crackle around me. Dusk began to look nervous. Dusk said “Ok, I take it back!” I stopped and looked at her. “It was his wedding day…” I looked down. Deep inside me, I felt sorry for not knowing about it. “Who is he married to?” I asked Dusk replied “Your sister…” “Twilight Sparkle?” Dusk nods and I smiled slightly. “I wish I could see her face soon.” I whispered. Dusk, who heard that whisper, smiles and looks at the construction of her new hive. “What will you call it?” I asked. Dusk answered “The Primal Changelings.” “Primal?” Dusk explained “We are not like the other changelings. We evolve when we consume essence. We can eat meat mainly but we can absorb love and kindness.” “I see...well, it was good seeing you again, my daughter.” I said with kindness. Dusk said “The Primal Changelings will help the Phantom Consortium any day. Just give us the word and we will help you. I also analyzed the ‘Zerg’ project that Talon was working on and basing my Changelings to them. We will have to collect the essence of the Zerg and evolve from them. We will become their successors to where they have failed.” “I understand. Well, you best be getting to it. We don’t want to wait too long before we begin to make our march to the capital.” Dusk asked “Iron Will has been fighting the war?” “Indeed. My creation, Trypticon, has been securing the border line between Zebra and Minotaur lands. I also placed an outpost there, to secure my lines there. However, the Zebras have advance in their technology.” Dusk asked, curious “They don’t use the NLR technology?” “Evidently not. I found a few Zebra ships making an attempt to attack Trypticon with some new high tech weaponry, but it failed. Besides that, we have secured the border line.” I answered. Dusk asked “Will that be a problem?” “A bit, but not that much. But we do have another situation.” Dusk asked “What is it?” “The Medallion of Primus is missing. The container is no longer under my protection so Primus is, no doubt, looking for a bearer.” Dusk asked, a bit nervous about the news “What do we know about it?” “From what Unicron has told me, nothing good for me. The Medallion has to ability to cleanse the darkness within beings of good, like the Mane 6 or Luna. Also, it can, like me, can create machines to work under the bearer’s will. Primus had a secret guardian for the bearer. The Guardian’s name is Omega Supreme, Former Protector of Cybertron’s Core. He will be a problem but with Trypticon, he will be a piece of cake to take care of.” I answered calmly. Dusk asked “Can you locate Omega?” “Negative. He’s masked his energy signature so he is out of my hooves. He won’t reactivate until the Medallion of Primus has a Champion.” Dusk wondered, saying out loud “Who? Who do you think is worthy of bearing such a limitless power?” I paused to think to myself. Indeed, it is a good question. Who would be a suitable champion? Then it struck me and I began to laugh. “Of course. Primus seeks out the most pure hearted pony. There is only 1 who can challenge my skills.” Dusk said in disbelief “Charming Thunder…” “Indeed. He is the one Primus is looking for. I’ll noticed Meta to have the Defilers to keep an eye on him from now on. If he does get his hooves on the medallion…” I left to head back to my Capital, already making plans for future warfare and return to Equestria. Author's Note That is all and I hope you will enjoy it! Also, here is the insignia for the Primal Changelings! Assassination of the Minotaur PresidentI was on my throne, thinking about how to make the war against the Minotaurs much less….resistant. I began to think, what if I target the President of the Minotaur Empire. But there has to involve money or maybe… “Adjutant!” I shouted Adjutant arrived to me and kneels. Adjutant said “Yes, master?” “Remember that assassin droid we managed to capture when the Empire came to Equestria?” I asked Adjutant replied “Yes master.” “Reprogram him and send him to me. I have a mission for him.” Adjutant nods and left the room. I began to think about the Assassination and I felt my medallion purring to the much thought. I couldn’t help but smile evilly and my eyes glowed purple. Later… I continue to sit on my throne, waiting for my Assassin to come. Finally, the doors opened and a droid called IG-88 came in with his Sniper Rifle. “Ah, IG-88. Welcome to the Throne Room.” I said. IG-88 said “What is my target, my liege?” I smiled and nodded, knowing he wants to get straight to the point. “I need you to head to the Minotaur Empire’s Capital. There, I want you to assassinate the President there. Then, I want you to target the Counsel men there as well. As soon as you finished, return to the Capital and Iron Will can further the progress there. Do you understand?” IG-88 said “Targets acknowledged. Starting the mission, now.” “Good luck and good hunting.” IG-88 left to begin his mission. As he left, I couldn’t help but smile evilly. A Minotaur Cargo Ship lands on the platform and IG-88 jumped off from the Landing Gear. He had his black case with him and 2 blasters on his sides. He began to walk into the city. Many civilians looked at him and were either scared or curious, but that didn’t bother IG-88. However, he was stopped when a Minotaur came up to him. Minotaur said “Hello droid. What do you have in there?” IG-88 replied “None of your business, meatbag.” Minotaur demand “What was that!?” The Minotaur snapped his fingers and a gang of Minotaurs came out, holding melee weapons. Gang Leader said “Not so tough, aren’t you?” IG-88 said “I take it back.” Gang Leader said, cocky now “Like every droid is.” IG-88 corrected himself “No, I mean I’m happy you came along. Now I can show you when you dare cross me.” Before they could react, IG-88 grabbed his blasters and began to spin his upper body while his arms were out and pulling the trigger. After several seconds, he stopped and the Minotaur Gang Members and Leader fell to the ground, dead. IG-88 put his two blasters to their proper position and began to walk off, like he didn’t care for the bodies. Business Minotaur asked “Why would you need a rental ComfortRide passenger airspeeder?” IG-88 stated, not giving any reason whatsoever “My personal business only.” Business Minotaur replied “Oh well, if that is what you want. Well, it will be 30 bits.” IG-88 hands the bag of bits to him and left on the ComfortRide passenger airspeeder. He began to fly it towards the main Palace where today, the President is going to be escorted to his transport ship. The Minotaur President and his Counsel was half way to the transport ship. President said fearfully “We must escape the Capital and flee to the lands of the Zebras.” 1 of the Counsel Man said “Sir, we have nothing to fear.” President replied “You don’t but I feel so unsecure here in my own palace.” A Guard said “We have cleared the way to your transport. All Civilians have been moved away.” President said, happily “Excellent!” They were in the open now. There was a large crowd of minotaur civilians, all asking questions. They were about halfway until there was a blaster fire and the President was shot square to the chest. There was a panic of fear and everyone hit the deck. Another Blaster shot and it hit a Guard, killing him. There were screaming, a lot of it. Guard Captain warned “Sniper!” Another shot killed another guard. The Guards took cover and began to fire where the Sniper was at. However, another shot and the Captain was down. After a few minutes of shooting, the guards and Counsel men were killed. The people looked and see a ComfortRide passenger airspeeder leaving the scene at a high speed. A few minutes before… IG-88 was driving his ComfortRide passenger airspeeder to a hidden spot where he could hide in the shadows. He opened the black case and saw parts for a Sniper Rifle. He began to put the parts together, creating the sniper rifle. When he finished, he activated his laser pointer eye and began to take aim. After a few minutes, the main target, the President, came into view. He took aim and pulled the trigger, causing the sniper shot sound to go off. The civilians took to the ground as did the guards and the rest of the guard. 1 by 1, he took down guards and Counsel Men and when he finished, he put away the sniper rifle into parts and took off when he began to hear sirens nearby. IG-88 made it back to the Business Man and left the Airspeeder there. He left with his case and began to walk back to the landing platform where a Fighter was waiting for him to steal. He took it and began to return to the Griffin Capital, leaving the Minotaur Capital in pure Chaos, Corruption, and Fear. I was waiting patiently for my droid to return and after a few short days, he came back. “So, how did it go?” I asked curiously. IG-88 anwered “The Capital is in terror now. Without the President, they are leaderless.” “Then it is our time to strike. You did well IG-88. Return to your quarters and charge up from your job.” IG-88 said “Yes master. That is the most logical course of action now.” IG-88 left to his quarters, leaving me to sit on the throne and summoning Iron Will and my medallion, purring with pleasure of the dark and evil thoughts. I smiled evilly, knowing that I’m growing stronger to the dark side. Meanwhile with Charming Thunder… He was resting about, thinking about his wonderful life with his new wife and family. However, it was short lived when he began to stir with dark thoughts. He felt something dark and twisted, growing ever stronger and stronger. He woke up in a scream and Twilight, who was next to him, got up instantly. Twilight asked, concern “Are you ok Charming?” Charming replied, reassuring her “I…I just had a bad dream, that’s all.” Twilight asked again “Are you sure? It sounded awfully real.” Charming said “Yes, I’m sure.” Twilight wanted to help Charming so she kissed him. Charming kissed back and they laid on the bed, kissing. However, while he had his eyes closed, if he had seen it with his own eyes, Twilight’s eyes flashed Cyan for a second and back to normal. Inside Twilight’s mind, somewhere in Zerus, Dusk was laughing as she could control Twilight’s love emotions to Charming Thunder. Dusk says in the back of Twilight's Mind "That's right Charming, fall for the lust. While you do that, I'll grow even stronger! Soon, my father will see you again and this time, you will be powerless to stop him." Charming and Twilight embrace deeper with each other, leaving Dusk to watch this through Twilight. Author's Note That's all folks! Hopefully you like this, it was thanks to Sonicdash123 that this Chapter was possible. Thank you very much.
Hidden Power of the MedallionA few days later… I was sitting on the throne, bored. I needed some entertainment because this was nothing compare to action. My blood was boiling for some action. Unicron’s voice echoed in my mind “I understand where you are going. We need to keep us entertain.” ‘But what? I want to fight, but there isn’t anything challenging.’ I replied thoughtfully. Unicron replied “How about a Gladiator Arena?” I stopped tapping and smiled evilly. “GILDA!!!” I yelled out. A few minutes later, the throne doors opened and Gilda came in a hurry. She kneeled to me, respected me. Gilda said “Yes, my liege?” “Tell me, is there a Gladiator Arena?” Gilda answered “Yes, my liege. We have a few but why, my liege?” I smiled darkly, finally finding something to do. “I’ve been getting bored lately so I want to test my strength in the arena.” Gilda answered to me “Normally the Emperor wouldn’t want to take part…but you are not exactly use with traditions. Not only that but you will prove that you are a true gladiator. I can arrange it, if you wish.” “Make it happened.” I ordered. Gilda nods and immediately leaves. My eyes turned blood red and in the middle of the eye color was purple. The gladiator area thought made my medallion purred with evil, making me grin even more. I was inside a weapons’ chamber with 3 others. 1 Diamond Dog, 1 Griffin, and 1 Pony. The Diamond Dog’s name was Boulder and he was strong in strength, but he was blind. But he can somehow use the ground to understand where he is and all that. The Griffin’s name was Blackwing and he was awfully cocky of himself, thought he was superior to the rest of us. I was actually half tempted to slit his throat. And finally, the Pony. The Pony was a female and she was by far different than any others. I could sense a great power inside her. She was holding back something but I didn’t press the matter. Her name was Cynder. We were given some choices, like the Gungan personal energy shield and some Darksabers. I picked up 2 Darksabers and smiled darkly at my choice. Boulder grabbed an energy shield and a Darksaber, Blackwing grabbed a single Darksaber, and Cynder grabbed an energy shield and Darksaber. Blackwing said “Who would need defense when offense is the greatest. Defense is pathetic and it shows the coward easily.” Cynder remarked “At least I’m not stupid.” Blackwing demanded “What was that!?” “Blackwing, shut up! You’ve been nothing but a pain in my flank and I’m not going to save your flank in this.” I ordered. Blackwing walked to a corner of the chamber and I looked at Cynder. “Hopefully, he dies first.” I whispered to her Cynder giggled and replied “Agreed.” Me and Cynder laughed a bit while Boulder looked ready to fight. Finally, after a few minutes, the doors opened and we walked out into the arena. The place was massive and there was a lot of cheering. We looked around, ready to fight. Gilda said on the arena speaker “Attention ladies and gentlemen, today, the gladiators have arrived and ready to fight! And there opponent today is: The Gorog!” Boulder said “The what?” Blackwing whisper, clearly afraid “Gorog…” Suddenly, the center opens and giant hand comes out of the hole followed by another. Suddenly, a creature emerges and roars out loud. We backed up and I activated both of my Darksabers and got into a battle stance. “What the hell is this thing!?” I demanded to my comrades Boulder answered “I have no idea but it’s big.” “That’s perceptive, for a blind dog. Now, how do I kill it!?” I demanded again. Blackwing answered fearfully “I don’t think you can.” I began to shoot some ghost rays at it and that made the creature roared out in pain. It forms a fist and aim it to me. We jumped away and I jumped on the arm and began to run up it. The creature tried to shake me but I jumped on top of his head and I used my Ghost Stinger and the creature roared in rage. It moves it’s head to grab me but I jumped off and when I got in front of its face, I shot a few Force Pushes at it. I landed with the others and Blackwing took flight and charged. With his darksaber on, he slashed at the creature, only to piss it off. The creature grabbed Blackwing and ate him whole. “Ok, I agree with it for eating Blackwing.” I said, snickering at what I just said. Boulder asked “How do we kill this creature of the ground?” Cynder said “It has to have a weakness…” The creature looks at us and formed his hands into fists and smashed at us. I saw some electric bracelets on it then I got another idea. “Aim for the restraints!” I ordered. Cynder and Boulder were confused but did it anyways. I used my Force Storm to shock both restraints. When the creature roared out in pain and withdraw, he began to ready to slam it’s open palm to the ground where I was but I used my force push to push the hand back to the arena restraint. When it reconnected, I did the same to the other hand. Without its hands, the creature roared at us but all I did was shock the head of it. I grabbed the electric collar around its neck with my telekinesis and began to hold it in place. It tried to move its head left but I pushed it back. Then it did the same to the right but the same result happened. So, it tried to go up and I had enough and slammed its face to the ground and did it again but this time, I jumped on its head and began to attack the metal covering on the head and when I did, I stabbed the wound and it roared so loud, it was like an ear rape. It managed to get its arms loose and I jumped off before it punches itself. Then, the next thing it did was slammed its hands to the ground, causing us to loose balance. It grabbed Boulder and Cynder and threw them across the stadium and I witness it. “Cynder!! Boulder!!” I shouted in fear. I sat on the ground, my medallion beginning to glow purple. ‘Cynder…..Boulder…..’ I thought sadly. The creature looked at me and slam it’s palm on top of me. There were a lot of screaming as they saw this. Gilda said, disappointed “I guess….I overdid it…” Gilda began to cry slightly until there were some gasps. She looked as the palm began to be lifted up. Cynder and Boulder watched as a black light began to radiate from the place. The palm was pushed back as the figure began to form. When the light dimmed, they looked again and see me different. My coat was still black but there were signs of cracks among my flesh that were glowing purple, my mane and tail were grey now and floating upward, my eyes were purple, and my medallion was glowing very brightly. In my grasp was the Dark Star Saber and it was glowing as I stared at the creature. “You shall die this day, creature.” I said darkly, sounding like a demon. The Creature roared and formed a fist and shot it down on me. However, I moved too fast for it to see and I reappeared in front of its head and with a mighty slash of my sword, I cut its head clean off. The creature fell to the ground, dead. I landed down with the power still radiating off me. I put away the sword and I returned to my normal form. Using my telekinesis, 1 Darksaber returned to me. “A souvenir of my actions here and part of my collection.” I stated. As I left, my medallion purred a bit and I stopped and looked at Cynder. “Come with me Cynder, I have some use with you. And Boulder, you shall join my military.” I said to my gladiator comrades. They nodded and they followed me out, leaving the crowd still bewildered on what just happened. Author's Note That's all and I hope you like the new developments! Now I have a Dark Form from my Medallion. What will happen with my new form? Only time will guess this.
The Master PlanA few weeks had past [Entering Equestria War IV] since the Arena accident. I had Cynder as my housecarl since I wanted her near me since she proven to me that she was able to handle well on the field. Boulder became one of my military generals and believe it or not, but he was famous in the military personal. Meta had him as his 2nd in command, which I didn’t mind. Cynder was more than well equipped to protecting me. She was wearing Mandalorian Armor of her own design. She didn’t need to wear the helmet and didn’t need the jetpack. The armor around her provided a personal shield, she also had some utilities like Flamethrower or Freeze Ray. She had 2 twin blaster pistols and a lot of different types of grenades. Her armor color was Black and she had the chest plate symbol on it resembling my medallion’s symbol. She was rather happy to have me by her side. We were waiting for the word to arrive to us that the Minotaur Kingdom has fallen to Iron Will. The waiting ended when my Changeling Spectre came inside the chamber. “Report, my little changeling.” I ordered. The Spectre replied “My liege, Iron Will has taken the capital, like you had predicted.” “Excellent. Were there any resistance?” Spectre replied “Nothing we couldn’t handle. They tried to make the highest Counsel Man become the new King but Iron Will and out forces eradicated the remaining resistance. Now, Iron Will has control of the Capital. We released the dark energy mist as you ordered and the people are under the influence and are loyal to Iron Will.” “Excellent. Everything is coming to place. All there is now are the Zebras…” I trailed off at the word “Zebra”. Cynder asked “Emperor Danny, may I make a suggestion?” “Permission granted.” Cynder explained “Since Iron Will has control over the Capital of the Minotaur Kingdom, we should focus our forces and resources to the Zebras. When we take them over, you will have complete control over 3 world powers, plus the allies of the Primal Changelings.” “The suggestion is great but the Zebras are an intelligent race, since they develop technology that can rival the Phantom Consortium. They will forever resist us, even if I could take them to the influence of the dark side.” I told her. Cynder answered, rather very darkly “Then eradicate the vermin, kill the Zebras.” That thought crossed my mind and my medallion purred at the thought of all Zebras dead, destroying the 5th world power would make the Phantom Consortium as the 1st greatest faction. But then, an idea occurred to me, why not enslave them and take away their free will? That thought made my medallion purred even more. The thought, resistance is futile, made me think about when encounter that debris a few decades ago, during the time Celestia and when Clockwork and I went to see why those things wanted to take over Equestria. “I have a better idea. Adjutant!” I shouted. The android came in a few minutes later, kneeling before me. Adjutant asked “Yes master?” “Prepare a salvation fleet, we have to pick up some parts for my new master plan.” Adjutant nodded and the Spectre left with her. I looked at Cynder. “Cynder, you are to stay with me at all times. I rather I be with friends with somepony who is my friend.” Cynder said “Yes Emperor Danny-“ “And didn’t I tell you to stop that?” Cynder blushes in embarrassment and said “Apologizes Danny, it’s just that…I’m not used to the fact that you are royalty.” “It’s ok.” Later… I was on a GS-100 salvage ship. There were an entire fleet of these ships. We were approaching the Badlands, far from Chrysalis’s Changeling Empire. The ships were approaching the coordinates that I gave them and when we arrived, there was a massive wreckage of debris parts of a ship. Cynder and Adjutant were awed by the amount of debris while I smirked. “So, it wasn’t moved or discovered…” I said. Adjutant asked “Wha-What is all of this, my liege?” “This, Adjutant, is parts of a Borg Tactical Cube.” Cynder asked “What kind of race is the Borg?” “That’s hard.” Cynder asked again “Why?” “Because the Borg was millions of races under 1 cybernetic mind, call the Queen. It was like the Changelings but different. Me and Clockwork discovered that Borg remnants had crash landed here a few million years ago, during Nightmare Moon’s banishment. We killed off any surviving Borg and hid the wreckage with a special spell to block any uninvited seekers. Adjutant, I want the ships to recover any technology you find here and take it back to the Mega Factory. Also, salvage all Borg Drones because we will need their technology and Nanoprobes. If any drones are still alive, kill them on sight. Don’t let them touch you unless they are already dead.” I ordered. Adjutant replied “Yes sir.” I smiled evilly and the medallion purred with the pleasure of my master plan. We have returned after salvaging all the parts from the wreckage. Adjutant began to examine the wreckage and I grinned darkly when I looked down on the long dead drones. Cynder said “Why are these Nanoprobes so useful that you enjoy the thought of using them?” I stopped and turned to them. “Borg Nanoprobes has a special role for why the Borg is millions of creatures. The Nanoprobes assimilate any living being and turns them under the control of the collective. Due to this, those poor souls are under the control of the Hive Mind. Adjutant will be the Hive Mind Queen, since they will need a robotic android to control them.” I explained to them. Adjutant said “I-I’m honored, my liege.” I began to leave with Cynder. When we left, Cynder came up next to me. Cynder asked “You don’t trust her, do you?” I chuckled and replied “Not one bit. That is why I downloaded a failsafe devise inside her mind. If she tries to order my death, she automatic shuts down and reprogram to remain faithfully loyal to me. So, she can’t turn against me.” Cynder said “Nice plan. So, when will we use them against the Zebras?” “When Adjutant managed to reprogram the Nanoprobes and we put them into that transport missile. We will target every Zebra town, city, etc. We will become the greatest power to have ever existed.” Cynder said “Sounds like a plan to me.” “Soon, I’ll have an army of slaves that Sombra could only dream of!” I shouted and then began to laugh evilly. Meanwhile with Lightning Dust… Lightning said with hate “Damn Danny and his Consortium! He’s always getting stronger and what of me? He refuses to send me and my Shadowbolts to combat! We promise revenge against Rainbow and that is what I’m going to get!” Lightning began to think of a way to get her revenge but she came up with a new idea. Lightning said, full of venom and pleasure “I’ll take over when Danny is gone! Meta will follow me or he will die!” She began to laugh out loud for her plan. Author's Note That's all and did you noticed that Lightning Dust is starting to act like Starscream? Also, the Borg are here! And my master plan is to turn them into Borg Zebras! Will this work or not?
Battle of Doom DayA few weeks later… I was mediating in my bedroom since I felt a disturbance in my medallion. Using its power, I began to search for the reason why and I found something out. A certain pony of my past had been liberated from my influence. While it happened a while ago, I noticed it just now. My meditation was interrupted when there was a knock on the door. “Come in.” I said. The door opens and both Cynder and Dusk came in. “To what do I own the pleasure?” I asked Dusk replied “I heard about this new plan that you call “Operation: Assimilation”. What is it about?” “My plan is to use the Borg Nanoprobes to conquer the Zebras. Once I have them under my control, the army of Zebras will be the least of your worries.” Dusk said “Alright…” “But, I do have 1 concern…” Cynder asked “Who?” “It’s Lightning Dust. She’s been dying to get some action; she wants revenge against the Equestria Empire.” Cynder said to me, curious why I would be concern about 1 lonely pony “She means nothing to you.” “True but if she begins to rally some Consortium Forces to her side, which will end badly for us.” I answered. Dusk said “You have a point…” “So, I need eyes and ears on her every action. If she plans a Conspiracy, I want to hear it. I need every reason to place her under control.” Cynder told me “Well, the men have been dying for some action…” “Then it is time for some entertainment. Adjutant is almost done with the project, we can have 1 final confrontation with the Zebras.” Dusk said “Sounds like a lovely time for the men to finally stretch their legs and smell the smoke.” “Dusk, how about you join us?” Dusk said “I’m honored.” “Let’s make this the Day of Doom for the Zebras.” I stated with evil. Later… “This is what you wanted. Action on the battlefield.” I told Lightning Dust, who was beside me. Lightning asked “So, we are getting to have some fun?” “Until Adjutant has reported to me that the warhead is ready. Until then, have fun.” I confirmed to her. Lightning cried out in glee and rallied her Shadowbolts. Our entire armada was at the Zebra Front, preparing for battle. I also mobilized the Grand Army of the Phantom Consortium for this “Doom Day” as I called it. When the men heard of it, they shouted out with glee and joy, finally getting some action for a first time in a long time. I looked to the ground and saw millions of Ponies, Droids, and Changelings. Siege Vehicles were on the ground as well. I walked to an Imperial Dropship. “Take me to the Front Lines, I’ve got a battle to win.” The Pilot replied “Yes sir.” The Dropship took off, heading to the main front. The Armada of Ships had every ship in the Phantom Consortium and my Capital Ship, The Eclipse, was behind the fleet but it was taking a role of providing massive armadas of fighters. Lightning and her Squad Leaders were leading the offense, Meta and Boulder were leading the offense on the ground, Dusk and her Primal Changelings were with the ground forces. Admiral Stukov, a Super Tactical Droid who had an A.I inside his head, was leading the forces on the Merciless. Captain Duran was on the Eclipse, using the Superlaser when needed. My Dropship landed and I was greeted by Boulder and Meta, who was in the Odin. I step off the dropship. “Greetings, my friends.” I said when I was on the ground. Boulder replied “I knew you couldn’t avoid this final battle.” “Give me the status of our progress.” Meta answered “They have a few Scarabs on the field and they are as touch as Demons of Tartarus.” “Has the enemy lighted up?” I asked. Boulder said “Not one bit, they have prepared for this fight. They got everything they have on this battlefield. This will be a battle to be remembered in the history of the Phantom Consortium!” “Indeed, my blind friend! Come warriors!! CHARGE!!!” I shouted. We gave the battle cry and we charged into the open battle. There was blaster fire everywhere, turbolaser fire from above. The smell of smoke, the dead bodies everywhere. I pulled out my lightsabers and continue to the charge, not stopping. The men following me and Meta was firing his guns at every vehicle and infantry they had. I blocked any blaster bolts that came at me and slashed any Zebra Troopers who got too close. Lightning said on the comm. channel “Keep formation and blast them!” Lightning and her entire armada of fighters were approaching the enemy fleet. The enemy ships and fighters were shooting them, trying to take them down. Lightning, on the other hand, was having none of it. Red Pilot #1 said “Gold Leader, this is suicide!” Lightning replied “Keep charging!” They managed to get past through most of the Turbolaser fire. Lightning had been outmaneuvering the crossfire. Blue Pilot #3 said, panicking “Ma’am!” Lightning shouted “NOW!!!” The Bombers, which was Black Squad, had fired their torpedoes and they hit their target. Lightning and the other squads began to shoot the other ships, evading any crossfire. Lightning was skilled pilot since she was avoiding the fighters fire against her tail. Lightning said with glee “Now THIS is awesome!” Meanwhile with the Zebra General… Zebra General yelled to his soldier “WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY WON’T STOP CHARGING!?!?!” Zebra Soldier replied “Sir, they won’t stop advancing. The Scarabs are barely holding them back since they have a Superlaser that could destroy it. And our vehicles are too busy being destroyed by that war machine.” Zebra General answered “Then have the Scarabs target the main assault force!” There was beeping and a transmission opened. It was a Zebra Commander from the field. Zebra General said “Report.” Zebra Commander answered “Sir, our forces…their dying to the Wrath of Danny Eclipse!” Zebra General said, clearly angry “Damn it! Have ALL Scarabs focus fire on that Pegasus!! WIPE HIS PRESENCE FROM THE FACE OF EQUESTRIA!!!” Zebra Commander replied “Yes sir!” [Theme song plays] I was in my Dark Form, cutting down Zebras and laughing about it. The men were behind me, following me as I dashed forward with the 2 lightsabers. “Is this everything have against me!? It’s pathetic!!” I said in my demonic voice. I was stopped when I saw 3 Scarabs aiming their laser cannons at me. All of the Zebra Military was aiming for me now and I laughed like a maniac and cut them down, one-by-one. However, I stopped when I saw the 3 Scarab Lasers shoot at me. I raised a shield to defend myself and it held but it was cracking. ‘Ok, I totally underestimated the power of these things.’ I thought. The Eclipse fired it’s superlaser at one of the Scarabs, destroying it in the process. I held the shield up, but it was slowly cracking. ‘I need more power!!’ The ground around me began to crack and the ground began to form small ruined rock. The wind build up and I felt different. I was more power and purple lightning formed. The cracks on my flesh restore but markings were formed, purple markings. “Now THIS is what I’M talking about!!” I said in glee. I jumped into the sky for a mere seconds and dove to the ground, disappearing into the shadows. Meta said, bewildered “Wha-Where did he go!?” Boulder said, confused and shocked as well “I-I can’t sense him! He’s gone!” They looked around, trying to find me. Suddenly, they heard a crash and looked. They were shocked to see me, holding the Dark Star Saber, having to cut a Scarab in half. I smiled evilly, revealing fangs in front of my mouth like a Vampire. The Sword was glowing bright purple and my medallion was glowing purple as well. My eyes were different. The pupils were white while the whiteness around my pupils were purple. Purple smoke was leaving my eyes as I looked at the last Scarab. I dashed towards it and slashed it in half! I stared at the Zebra Forces, who were beginning to scream and run for their lives. I smiled evilly and dashed to one, grabbing him, and cracked his neck in half. I drop him and he fell to the ground. I took off to the sky to see the battle. There were a lot of corpses and I smiled evilly. My eyes glowed as a mist came across the battlefield, only to be consumed by the dead. Suddenly, the dead rose from the graves and began to charge forward. “Come, my legion of the death, purge the living Zebras of their presence in this battlefield!” I ordered to my legion. The Dead began to charge forward, only attacking the Zebras. The Zebras were shooting them down but nothing was stopping them. I laughed so evilly, the chilling of the laughter brought a shiver down everyone’s spine. Boulder said “You know, I’m glad I’m on his side.” Meta agreed “Yeah. I hate to be the enemy who dares oppose him.” Meanwhile with Adjutant… She had finished reprogramming trillions of nanoprobes. She placed them all into a war head and opened a transmission to me. Adjutant said to me on the Communications Channel “My liege, the war head is ready.” “Alright, let me call the fall back signal.” I replied to her message. Adjutant acknowledged it and prepare to fire it. “Everypony!! FALL BACK!!! THE WAR HEAD IS READY TO FIRE!!!” I ordered to everyone. They acknowledged and began to retreat. I had the dead keep attacking. The Grand Army and Armada began to fall back to safety. After a few minutes, we were out of Zebra territory and I gave the order. We watched from afar as the war head had appeared above the Zebra Empire and exploded, spreading millions of nanoprobes into the Zebras. A few hours later… Me, Adjutant, Dusk, Cynder, and Meta came to see what had happened and they gasped. The Zebras were covered in metal plating and had barely any flesh showing, besides their head. They kneeled to us as we approached. “Now this was the best idea ever.” I said, impressed. Adjutant agreed “Indeed. So, is this the end of our mission?” “No, there is still some things that need to be done.” Cynder said “Well, we can think of them later, right?” “Indeed. Let us go and feast in our victory!” I shouted with glee. They cheered with me and we began to return to the Griffin Capital. Author's Note So, that is the fate of the Zebras. However, even if the fighting has stopped...for now...I'm not finished. There is, but 1 or 2, chapters left before going to Phantom War III, which will be about the current events BEFORE Equestria War VIII. Hope you like it so far, because it is almost time for me and Sonicdash123's plan!
The Vision of FateShortly after the feast… I had arrived to my bedroom that night, happy to know that all the loose ends of the NLR were finally been dealt with. Now, I could return to Equestria as a Hero, achieving something that my brother, Charming Thunder, had failed to achieve. I turned off the light and become comfy to my bed. I fell asleep into peaceful dreams a few minutes later… I opened my eyes inside the dreamscape, looking around to see my mysterious place. I looked around, trying to find out where I was. I finally realized that I was on a mysterious platform on some sort of building. Figures began to form and I knew them. There was me, Charming Thunder, and the Mane 6 with their elements! Also, Charming was wearing the Medallion of Primus! My dream self was in his Dark Super Form that I had achieved in that Battle of Doom Day. Charming was different was well, he was white with Alicorn Wings and he whiteness in his eyes was blue while his pupils were white. He had his Lightsaber and so did my vision self. We were both Alicorns, our medallions glowing with power. Danny said “So, you managed to defeated Brutalight and her crew, but they will forever be inside them Charming! You know that evil will forever be there, never stopping!” Charming begged “Brother, this madness must end!” Danny shouted back “Never!!” Charming told Danny “There is still good within you Danny! I won’t give up on you!!” Twilight said “Danny, return to the light!” Danny yelled out with all of his might “NEVER!!! I AM THE DOMINATOR!!! I AM THE CONQUERER!!! I! AM!! DANNY!!! ECLIPSE!!!!” Danny charged at Charming. Their lightsabers met and they slashed at each other. Danny slashed and slashed, not giving up. Charming was being pushed back by the forces of those slashes. Danny wasn’t stopping, he was smiling like a mad man. When Danny did one more slash, Charming was send back, losing his lightsaber. Danny went and pinned him to the ground. I was standing on my back hooves and 1 of my lightsabers, my right lightsaber, was in front of your face. Danny said “Now I will destroy you Charming, like how I destroyed Sunset Shimmer.” Charming yelled “NO!!!” Charming used his levitation spell and his lightsaber returned to his hoof and he swung at my lightsaber, knocking me away from you as you get up. Charming Thunder was instantly consumed by his hatred, ignoring the pleas of his friends, and he recklessly charged at Danny. We clashed blades, not giving an inch up. They began to slash at each other, countering blow-to-blow. Charming got into a distance and shot red lightning at Danny, but Danny blocked it with his lightsaber and send purple light back at Charming, which shocked him. Charming was unable to act now and Danny took that chance. He jumped in front of Charming and slash down at him, making Charming loose balance and fall to the ground. Danny kicked him a few inches away and began to slowly walk towards him. Charming got up and reactivated his lightsaber. They clashed blows again but Charming was a bit dazed, but that didn’t slow him down. Danny jumped and got behind Charming and they clashed again. However, Charming was grabbed by the head from Danny and he threw Charming to the sky, which Charming hit a TIE Fighter by accident and made him fall a few feet to another platform, which Danny jumped down to. Danny charged, lightsaber ready to strike. Charming got back up and they clashed lightsabers again. But this time, Charming was striking at him. However, it was short lived when Danny blocked the strikes and use a minor force push to make Charming loose lightsaber control and Danny took the chance and cut Charming’s robotic hoof off. Charming fell to the floor, clearly in pain. Danny said, confident than ever “Now, to finish what you had started…” I was stopped when Twilight had jumped down to the platform. I looked at her and the Mane 6 came down. They began to charge but I force gripped them, holding them in place. Danny said “Did you really think you had a chance?” I was launched forward and looked through the smoke to see Charming had regained his senses from the Dark Side. The Mane 6 was with him now, happy to see him normal again. Danny said, impressed “So, still standing from my attack. No matter, you can’t fight without your lightsaber.” I slowly began to walk over to them but Charming put a shield up. I laughed but stopped when I felt an energy surge and looked at the source. The Elements of Harmony were around the necks of the Mane 6, getting ready to fire. My eyes narrowed and I slashed at the shield, scattering it. Danny yelled “NO!!!” Danny used Force Storm on them, shocking them. They fell to the ground in pain. Charming, who witness it, roared with anger. But he couldn’t do anything. I was about to strike down on Charming until blue mist escaped my lips. Danny said, knowing what it was “You’re joking, right?” I turned around and see Sombra’s ghost. He wasn’t alone either; he was with the Jedi Spirits. Sombra said “We won’t let you do this Danny…” Danny replied darkly “Like you can stop me, Father.” Yodi said “Alone, he is not. Outmatch, you are.” Danny laughs evilly, clearly not amused. Danny said “You, against me!? 1 question for you. Have you ever considered how I got my training!?” Suddenly, 4 spirits appeared and it were my Sith Mentors, they were smiling at the sight of the 4 Jedi Spirits. Anakin said darkly “Count Dooku…” Dooku greeted back “Hello again Anakin, Obi-Wan, Master Yodi, and my old Padawan; Qui-Gon.” Obi-Wan said, hateful “Hello Dooku.” Starkiller said “Hello Darth Vader…” Anakin replied “Starkiller…” Sidious said, crackling evilly a bit “Hello, my little green friend.” Yodi replied “Darth Sidious…” Revan said, a bit sad “Too bad no one here is my old enemy.” Yodi said “Darth Revan, are you not?” Revan reassured himself “At least I wasn’t forgotten by the Jedi Counsel.” Danny said, harshly “Are we done with the meet and greet?” They looked at each other, drawing out their ghostly lightsabers. They charged at each other. Anakin vs. Starkiller, Obi-Wan vs. Dooku, Qui-Gon vs. Revan, and Yodi vs. Sidious. Sombra came over to Danny, ready to attack. Danny said “Please…You are nothing to me. Handle him, why don’t you Nightmare.” Suddenly, Nightmare Moon had appeared in front of Danny. She was eager to fight Sombra, reasons were her own. They clashed blades that were certain. Danny said “Now, where was I-?” Danny sees that during the commotion, The Mane 6 was back up and had finished charging their Elements. They fired the Friendship Rainbow at me and it hit me directly. Danny yelled “NNNNNOOOOOOO!!!” The Rainbow consumed Danny and a bright white flashed happened, blinding me from what was happening. I screamed out in my bed. I looked around, it was morning. I was sweating a lot and my medallion was glowing bright. Luckily, my screams were not heard since I made the room sound-proof. “Wha-What was that!? Was that…the future!?” I said, afraid at what just transpired in my mind. I got down and looked at my medallion. “Elements of Insanity…never heard such a thing…But I HAVE heard of the Temple of Insanity. That’s my next target, to get answers.” I called Dusk and Cynder and they came to my quarters a few minutes later… Cynder said “What do you want to talk about?” “I’m leaving.” Dusk and Cynder said together in unison “WHAT!?!” “I saw a vision of the future. It told of my downfall if I don’t find a way to change it. I must travel to the Temple of Insanity to seek out answers on why I saw what I just saw.” I told them. Dusk asked “But- What about the Phantom Consortium!?” “That’s what I’m going to. Dusk, I need you to watch over the Phantom Consortium during my absence. Cynder, I want you to come with me. I can only trust the 2 of you and because Cynder and I have fought together against the Gorog, I want her by my side. Dusk, I need you to watch over my army. Don’t let Lightning do nothing stupid. If she does, then kill her. I won’t allow stupid rulers rule over this land. Meta is in charge during my absence but Dusk; I want you to keep an eye on him. The only ones I’m taking with me are Cynder and Trypticon. Remember, don’t let Lightning take control. I am going to bet that once she takes over, she will target the Equestria Empire.” Dusk said “Well…alright! You can count on me.” “I know I can.” I reassured her. So, me and Cynder left on the Nemesis and began our adventure. Author's Note Well, that is the end of that! But in the next one...That will be when events are current. Danny and Cynder are now on a search, looking for answers.
Prologue2 ½ months later… Danny was sitting on his new throne chair. On top of it held a dark crystal, it increased my power greatly. A lot of things had transpired since I heard the 2nd Death Star’s destruction. I went over the documents that Talon had held for secret projects. I ended most of them, including the Hybrid Project. However, there were a few that I did enjoy having. Dusk, my daughter, has been looking for lands where she can begin making her own hive at. Although my daughter hasn’t found the land yet, I asked Adjutant why Dusk would be looking for a place to make a hive. She told me that Changeling Queens needed to lay eggs to make their children. But a thought occurred to me; ‘Was she going out with someone?’. Well, it turns out to be that in order to make eggs, Dusk would need to go on a dating spree. Dusk had already targeted my friends, The Mane 6 (Except for Rainbow, she knows Rainbow is her mother). Turns out that with a changeling, she didn’t need to have sex with just a male but it could work with a female as well. So, she left me to do her dating spree. I, however, had made plans to invading against another former NLR ally, the Minotaurs. I had already fought them in the past, during a war long after the Discord War but before Order 66. Anyway, I had send 3 Spectre, Changelings with high tech gear for stealth operations, to investigate the Minotaur Empire. After a few days, my agents returned to report. “Report.” I ordered 1 of the Spectre spoke first “My Lord, we have discover something that can easy our war against them!” “Spit it out then.” The same Spectre replied “The Minotaur Empire is currently at war with itself. A Civil War.” “Interesting…” Another Spectre said “That’s not it, my lord. The Rebels are led by Iron Will, one of NLR Generals. He and the Rebels are losing the war.” “Then it is time that we lend him a helping hoof.” I got into a PLY-3000 and it took off, heading to the Minotaur Rebel Base. The Minotaur Rebel base was on alert. My ship had landed and a squad of Minotaurs, armed with Blasters, came to greet the visitor. The Landing Ramp lowered and I came down, in my Revan Uniform to hide my appearance. When I got down, they kept their blasters at me. A Minotaur Guard demanded “Who are you!?” “My name is not important. I wish to see Iron Will, Leader of the Resistance.” I said, coldly. The Minotaur Guards didn’t listen but I couldn’t wait. So, I began to force choke them. They lifted from the ground, choking and gasping for breath. I let go and they landed to the ground, panting in air. Another Minotaur Guard said “Fine! We will take you to him! Just don’t do that again.” “Can’t make any promises.” I said, making them shiver. They shiver and I follow the guards. We arrived to Iron Will’s tent and I was let in. Iron Will looked at me, curious on why a pony from Equestria would be doing in these lands. Iron Will asked “Who are you?” “I’ll talk…after the guards are gone.” I replied. The Guards aimed their blasters again but quickly lowered them, very fearful about me. Will motion the guards to leave and I smirked under the mask. When they left, I made the entrance sealed shut and made the room soundproof. I took off the mask and lowered the hood, revealing my true identity. Will gasped in horror as he looked at me, backing up. Iron Will was shocked to see me “Y-You’re-“ “Indeed. I’m the Son of Princess Luna and Emperor of the Griffin Empire…” Iron Will demanded “What do you want!?” “To help you.” Iron Will was shocked again “Come again!?” “You don’t have the proper means to fight against the government. I took over the Griffin Lands with force to end Talon’s pathetic reign. After I took over, I changed everything. Now, I need more power and this land will do. But, there is just…problem.” Iron Will said “Problem?” “You.” Iron Will gulped in fear. If I was telling the truth, which he wasn’t doubt if I was, Iron Will could feel great power radiating from me as I began to close in on Iron Will. I couldn’t help but chuckle. “Calm down Iron Will, I’m not going to kill you.” I said, smiling darkly Iron Will relaxed a bit, but not enough. Iron Will asked “If I’m the problem, then why aren’t you going to kill me.” “Because who would lead the Minotaur Government? No, not me. However, you would suit nicely.” Iron Will demanded “What do you mean by that!?” “This!” I shouted. I showed my glowing medallion and it fired a purple beam at Iron Will. It hit him square at the chest and his eyes turned purple. “You belong to me now, Iron Will.” I said, very darkly. Iron Will asked “What are your orders, my liege?” “You are to take over this land in my name. Claim the throne of this land and become royalty of it. The Phantom Consortium will aid you and provide you resources needed to make it all possible.” I told him. Iron Will declared “We shall begin to attack their fortresses and cities!” “Indeed, but for now, we need to get you mobilized, ready for action. I shall help you by giving you the blueprints. As for the resources, you need to take over a few Factories.” Iron Will acknowledged “Yes Lord Danny.” I left the tent and returned to my ship and began to leave. Later… I was in my bedroom, sleeping. My medallion began to glow and that was when I appeared somewhere off world. The place was a barren wasteland and I found myself in a lock up from the look of things. However, I looked behind me and I cried out in shock. In front of me was the head of a massive robot. It looked like it was stasis. “Wha-What is this?” I asked in surprised. A dark but familiar voice replied “Welcome to my realm, my Champion.” I gulped and turned around, revealing the face of a giant robot. I cried out in shock. “Who-Who are you?” The head replied “I am Unicron the Destroyer. You are the bearer of my dark spark, my heart.” “You mean the medallion?” Unicron answered “Indeed.” I turned and looked at the head of the other robot. “Who is this?” Unicron replied “His name is Trypticon, once a great and powerful robot. However, he has failed Megatron.” “Why show me him?” Unicron stated with some sadness “His usefulness has come to an end to Megatron. However, I see him to be a worthy tool for you.” “I can use him?” I asked with curious. Unicron answered “I can give you his blueprints, but Trypticon can’t leave to go to you.” I nod and a blueprint chip appeared in my grasp and I grabbed it. Unicron told me “That chip contains both Trypticon Robot Form and his transformation; The Nemesis.” I nodded and began to fade away. Unicron said “We shall talk again soon.” I nod and faded from the dream world.
Trypticon RisesI get up and my medallion was glowing and my eyes flashed purple and back. “Adjutant! Ready an Equestrian Empire Shuttle for me to head to the wreckage of the 1st and 2nd Death Star!” I told her Adjutant replied on the speaker “Why, Emperor Danny?” “I’ve just got a brilliant plan.” I just told her. Adjutant nods and prepares a transport. I go to grab my Revan Uniform and my Lightsabers. After a few hours, I went to the landing platform and began my departure. My 1st course is to the wreckage of the 1st Death Star. I had arrived to the wreckage and hover the shuttle above it. I drop off the ship into a dive and after a few minutes, ready to hit the ground, I did a flip and landed to the ground and shatter the earth when I used the force to aid in my landing. “Now, to make my plan come true…Trypticon will rise again!” I said as I began to glow. My medallion began to glow purple as my eyes turned complete purple. Whiteness turned to purple and my pupils were pure white. I lifted my hooves up and purple lightning came out and went to grab the wreckage. Metal Parts began to come together and they began to shape, fold, and mending together. After a few minutes, all the parts were together and created a half created Trypticon. Purple steam was radiating from my eyes and I looked at the half created titan. “Now to get the other side and into the badlands.” I closed my eyes and began to focus to the badlands and both me and Half Trypticon teleported away, the ship returning to the Phantom Consortium. There was a big flash and both me and Trypticon appeared in front of the ruined wreckage of the 2nd Death Star. Like before, purple lightning came out of my hooves and both Half made Trypticon and the 2nd Death Star wreckage were touched. The pieces from the wreckage began to merge with Trypticon. After 5 more minutes, the pieces became one with Trypticon and he was completely built. I made Trypticon to follow only my orders and only I can control him. I put a symbol on his chest that resemble to my medallion’s symbol. I flew up to the top of his head and suddenly, I turned intangible and enter into Trypticon’s mind. I appeared into what looked like his computer core. My avatar was still me but I looked at the menu button and saw everything on how to use Trypticon. I touched the A.I adjutant I installed in Trypticon and I became the very being of Trypticon. My eyes opened and I saw everything Trypticon was seeing. I AM Trypticon now, so I had complete control over him. I clench my left hand and looked out. I had everything. Radar, infrared, etc. I also had my Dark Death Beam that was based from The Death Star’s Super Laser and I had a transformation that I called “The Nemesis Protocol”. Trypticon could transform into a flying fortress, design to fight like a titan. I needed to test Trypticon to see if he was capable for combat. I began to think of a suitable test and smirked. My long range sensors could detect a fleet of NLR ships from the Zebra lands. They were heading to the Minotaur lands and I didn’t like it. So, I transformed into the Nemesis and began to fly to the fleet at high speeds, even though it should be slow. 30 minutes later… I had arrived to intercepted the fleet. The ships halted their position. I could make out 4 Munificent-class star frigates and 2 Lucrehulk-class Droid Control Ships. They hailed me to find out what Trypticon was. Zebra Captain said “Attention unidentified vessel. State your name and business.” I replied with Trypticon’s voice “I AM TRYPTICON, TITAN OF THE PHANTOM CONSORTIUM!! I WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO JOIN WITH THE MINOTAUR GOVERNMENT!! FEEL MY WRATH!!” I started to move towards the nearest Frigate. The ships began to open fire but I transformed back to my titan form. My shoulders opened up and I fired a series of missiles. The Missiles hit the frigate and destroyed it. The Frigates began to focus fire at me and I jumped up into the air. When I did, I did a 360 degree spin with my tail hitting 2 of the other frigates. Finally, I opened my mouth and a bunch of dark energy bolts hit the last frigate, destroying it. I looked at the 2 Droid Control Ships, which look like they were preparing to retreat. I opened my mouth and a dark energy beam build up in my mouth. The beam hit the 1st Droid Control Ship and destroyed it. I decided to invade the last ship. I transformed into the Nemesis and took off. Using my turrets, I targeted the shield generator and after destroying it, I targeted the engines. After destroying the engines, I got on top of the Droid Control ship and that was when cables were deployed onto the ship. I released the cables onto several sectors on the ship. When they hit their target, I opened their drills and deploy droids that were in them and the droids board the ship. My bottom turrets attacked any of the defense turrets that the Droid Control Ship had. After what seemed like 5 minutes, I got all the data the Zebra Kingdom and recalled my troops. They returned to the cables and I detached from the Droid Control Ship and I transformed into my titan form again. I came crashing down onto the ship, destroying it. I transformed back into the Nemesis and began to head back to the Mega Factory. Meanwhile with Dusk... Dusk was walking into Canterlot, disguised as a Pegasus who held close resemblance to Rainbow Dash. Only difference was that her mane and tail was Cyan, her coat was Peach. She had Cyan eye color and her CM looked like a Thunder Bolt that was colored green and teal. She was looking around, already making plans to get to Twilight Sparkle. She arrived to a wedding and looked at the lucky couple, Charming Thunder and Twilight Sparkle. 'So, Uncle Charming is now married. But I need to get Twilight and he is going to be in the way. Of course, I could change his schedule and make him go to a visit to Ponyville for a few days while I have my time with Twilight.' Dusk thought carefully. Dusk goes up to the couple and happy shook hooves with Charming. Charming said "I've never seen you around here. You new here?" Dusk replied "Indeed. I'm a traveler from a distant village, looking for some place to lay low. You mind helping me?" Twilight replied "I will help you." "Thank you Princess Twilight." Dusk said. Dusk and Twilight leave the wedding room and when they did, Dusk took Twilight a new room and locked the door. Twilight said "Why are we here?" "I have plans for you Twilight. I won't hurt you, I just need your DNA." Dusk said as she reverts to her true form. Twilight gasped in shock and Dusk made sure the room became sound proof and sealed all access points. Dusk eyes began to glow as she approach Twilight, who was backing up. Twilight said "W-What do you want with me?" Dusk cooed "Nothing dear Twilight. I'm here to gain love from you and get your DNA from you." "Did Chrysalis send you!?" Twilight accused. Dusk replied "Chrysalis? That wretched Changeling Queen? No. I am a creation, a Changeling Queen with Rainbow's DNA made in a cloning facility. I am going to start my new hive: The Primal Changelings. We will be a new breed of Changelings, more advance with adaption. We will be Half Changelings, Half Ponies. Primal Changelings, as I call myself and my children. We are different from normal, more modified. We won't need to rely on love anymore. We could eat normally, sleep normally, and talk through our own hive mind. However, to begin this breed. I need the DNA of ponies. And Princess Twilight, you happen to be my first target. My child will take an appearance like you." Twilight was shocked. This Changeling wasn't a part of Chrysalis or her hive. This was a half-breed Changeling/Pony Hybrid, preparing to lay eggs of future 'Primal' changelings of her own species. However, Twilight stopped thinking when Dusk's horn glowed teal and Twilight's eyes turned from normal to similar eyes of Dusk's. "Let the breeding begin." Twilight felt more....lustful. She wanted to have some fun with Dusk now and the 2 locked into a kiss. Dusk made some extra precautions that after their 'fun', Twilight will have no memory about the changeling appearance, her plans, and their 'fun'. Author's Note Hope you like it! Now we have Trypticon on the team, we can expect great darkness in the future. Also, with Dusk preparing to make the "Primal Changelings", what can anyone do? Only time and faith can tell. Hope you like it a lot and gives it a thumb's up.
Primal ChangelingsA few weeks later… Dusk was in the new land known as Zerus. It is a land between the Badlands and Griffin Lands. It was untouched by both factions and it was actually undetected. Dusk had been busy since her encounter with Twilight. She met the other Element Bearers, except for Rainbow, and had some ‘fun’ with them. Now, with her in these lands, she made preparations for the birth of her new hive. As a Changeling Queen, she was pregnant with any pony or creature she came into contact with. She was in what she called “The Birth Pool”. She called it that shortly after she gave birth to 5 changeling eggs. She genetically began to modifying them, like how I modified her. The new changes were that these Changelings will be able to eat normally and can feast on love as a secondary source. However, when a Primal eats meat of other creatures, the essences help that primal evolve and become greater. She already knew these 5 eggs were females, Changeling instinct. So, she named her daughters. The first was Ruby [Twilight’s Changeling Counterpart], Clarity [Rarity’s Changeling Counterpart], Sweet Apple [Applejack’s Changeling Counterpart], Harmonic Butterfly [Fluttershy’s Changeling Counterpart], and Wild Candy [Pinkie Pie’s Changeling Counterpart]. Unlike normal pony birthing, the aging process fast forwards. Within only a few days, they will be full grown and hatch. A few days later… Dusk haven’t left her precious changeling eggs, but she DID kill anything too close to the pond, such as animal predictors. I began to hear them shaking and crack. The time has come. They cracked up and 5 grown changelings came out. They looked at each other and then looked at Dusk. Dusk said “Good, you are finally hatched.” Ruby asked “Mommy?” I nodded and they all came to hug Dusk. Dusk said “It is good to see my daughters up and about. You are my 5 first daughters so we must work together to create the drones.” Dusk began to teach them ways of the changelings and ponies and began to work together as a class of training. My ship, The Soulless One, began to land on a nearby platform that was construction when Zerus was discovered. Dusk had told me a few days ago that she had given birth to her first 5 daughters. I had landed and was greeted by Dusk and her daughters. “So, these are your 5 children.” I asked. Dusk said “Yes father, they are.” “Will they become royalty or drones?” Dusk answered “Royalty.” “Then I feel like a grandpa then.” I said. I chuckle when I said that. Dusk giggled too and the 5 girls tackled me into a hug, which I happily hugged back. When I finished, me and Dusk went to talk while the 5 girls began to organized the new drones that were recently born. “So, you had made contact with Twilight and her friends, except for Rainbow and Charming.” I said. Dusk said “You will not believe what I had to go through to get to Twilight. I had to help Shining Armor take care of a bunch of NLR loyalist.” “You didn’t-“ I said before being interrupted Dusk answered “No. I came into a custom disguise and called myself: Nova. I fake printed Nova into military records. Nova is an ex-black ops agent who specialized in hoof-to-hoof combat. She’s a master marksman and she is a Ghost Class Military Personal.” “Ghost Class….So they began making-“ Dusk explained “Yes, but it is only the prototype. I managed to steal the gear and burnt the records of their existence.” “Excellent.” Dusk said “I met your brother, father…” I paused for a second. I closed my eyes. “How is he?” I asked. Dusk cooed “Awww, I didn’t think you care.” I opened my eyes and lightning began to crackle around me. Dusk began to look nervous. Dusk said “Ok, I take it back!” I stopped and looked at her. “It was his wedding day…” I looked down. Deep inside me, I felt sorry for not knowing about it. “Who is he married to?” I asked Dusk replied “Your sister…” “Twilight Sparkle?” Dusk nods and I smiled slightly. “I wish I could see her face soon.” I whispered. Dusk, who heard that whisper, smiles and looks at the construction of her new hive. “What will you call it?” I asked. Dusk answered “The Primal Changelings.” “Primal?” Dusk explained “We are not like the other changelings. We evolve when we consume essence. We can eat meat mainly but we can absorb love and kindness.” “I see...well, it was good seeing you again, my daughter.” I said with kindness. Dusk said “The Primal Changelings will help the Phantom Consortium any day. Just give us the word and we will help you. I also analyzed the ‘Zerg’ project that Talon was working on and basing my Changelings to them. We will have to collect the essence of the Zerg and evolve from them. We will become their successors to where they have failed.” “I understand. Well, you best be getting to it. We don’t want to wait too long before we begin to make our march to the capital.” Dusk asked “Iron Will has been fighting the war?” “Indeed. My creation, Trypticon, has been securing the border line between Zebra and Minotaur lands. I also placed an outpost there, to secure my lines there. However, the Zebras have advance in their technology.” Dusk asked, curious “They don’t use the NLR technology?” “Evidently not. I found a few Zebra ships making an attempt to attack Trypticon with some new high tech weaponry, but it failed. Besides that, we have secured the border line.” I answered. Dusk asked “Will that be a problem?” “A bit, but not that much. But we do have another situation.” Dusk asked “What is it?” “The Medallion of Primus is missing. The container is no longer under my protection so Primus is, no doubt, looking for a bearer.” Dusk asked, a bit nervous about the news “What do we know about it?” “From what Unicron has told me, nothing good for me. The Medallion has to ability to cleanse the darkness within beings of good, like the Mane 6 or Luna. Also, it can, like me, can create machines to work under the bearer’s will. Primus had a secret guardian for the bearer. The Guardian’s name is Omega Supreme, Former Protector of Cybertron’s Core. He will be a problem but with Trypticon, he will be a piece of cake to take care of.” I answered calmly. Dusk asked “Can you locate Omega?” “Negative. He’s masked his energy signature so he is out of my hooves. He won’t reactivate until the Medallion of Primus has a Champion.” Dusk wondered, saying out loud “Who? Who do you think is worthy of bearing such a limitless power?” I paused to think to myself. Indeed, it is a good question. Who would be a suitable champion? Then it struck me and I began to laugh. “Of course. Primus seeks out the most pure hearted pony. There is only 1 who can challenge my skills.” Dusk said in disbelief “Charming Thunder…” “Indeed. He is the one Primus is looking for. I’ll noticed Meta to have the Defilers to keep an eye on him from now on. If he does get his hooves on the medallion…” I left to head back to my Capital, already making plans for future warfare and return to Equestria. Author's Note That is all and I hope you will enjoy it! Also, here is the insignia for the Primal Changelings!
Assassination of the Minotaur PresidentI was on my throne, thinking about how to make the war against the Minotaurs much less….resistant. I began to think, what if I target the President of the Minotaur Empire. But there has to involve money or maybe… “Adjutant!” I shouted Adjutant arrived to me and kneels. Adjutant said “Yes, master?” “Remember that assassin droid we managed to capture when the Empire came to Equestria?” I asked Adjutant replied “Yes master.” “Reprogram him and send him to me. I have a mission for him.” Adjutant nods and left the room. I began to think about the Assassination and I felt my medallion purring to the much thought. I couldn’t help but smile evilly and my eyes glowed purple. Later… I continue to sit on my throne, waiting for my Assassin to come. Finally, the doors opened and a droid called IG-88 came in with his Sniper Rifle. “Ah, IG-88. Welcome to the Throne Room.” I said. IG-88 said “What is my target, my liege?” I smiled and nodded, knowing he wants to get straight to the point. “I need you to head to the Minotaur Empire’s Capital. There, I want you to assassinate the President there. Then, I want you to target the Counsel men there as well. As soon as you finished, return to the Capital and Iron Will can further the progress there. Do you understand?” IG-88 said “Targets acknowledged. Starting the mission, now.” “Good luck and good hunting.” IG-88 left to begin his mission. As he left, I couldn’t help but smile evilly. A Minotaur Cargo Ship lands on the platform and IG-88 jumped off from the Landing Gear. He had his black case with him and 2 blasters on his sides. He began to walk into the city. Many civilians looked at him and were either scared or curious, but that didn’t bother IG-88. However, he was stopped when a Minotaur came up to him. Minotaur said “Hello droid. What do you have in there?” IG-88 replied “None of your business, meatbag.” Minotaur demand “What was that!?” The Minotaur snapped his fingers and a gang of Minotaurs came out, holding melee weapons. Gang Leader said “Not so tough, aren’t you?” IG-88 said “I take it back.” Gang Leader said, cocky now “Like every droid is.” IG-88 corrected himself “No, I mean I’m happy you came along. Now I can show you when you dare cross me.” Before they could react, IG-88 grabbed his blasters and began to spin his upper body while his arms were out and pulling the trigger. After several seconds, he stopped and the Minotaur Gang Members and Leader fell to the ground, dead. IG-88 put his two blasters to their proper position and began to walk off, like he didn’t care for the bodies. Business Minotaur asked “Why would you need a rental ComfortRide passenger airspeeder?” IG-88 stated, not giving any reason whatsoever “My personal business only.” Business Minotaur replied “Oh well, if that is what you want. Well, it will be 30 bits.” IG-88 hands the bag of bits to him and left on the ComfortRide passenger airspeeder. He began to fly it towards the main Palace where today, the President is going to be escorted to his transport ship. The Minotaur President and his Counsel was half way to the transport ship. President said fearfully “We must escape the Capital and flee to the lands of the Zebras.” 1 of the Counsel Man said “Sir, we have nothing to fear.” President replied “You don’t but I feel so unsecure here in my own palace.” A Guard said “We have cleared the way to your transport. All Civilians have been moved away.” President said, happily “Excellent!” They were in the open now. There was a large crowd of minotaur civilians, all asking questions. They were about halfway until there was a blaster fire and the President was shot square to the chest. There was a panic of fear and everyone hit the deck. Another Blaster shot and it hit a Guard, killing him. There were screaming, a lot of it. Guard Captain warned “Sniper!” Another shot killed another guard. The Guards took cover and began to fire where the Sniper was at. However, another shot and the Captain was down. After a few minutes of shooting, the guards and Counsel men were killed. The people looked and see a ComfortRide passenger airspeeder leaving the scene at a high speed. A few minutes before… IG-88 was driving his ComfortRide passenger airspeeder to a hidden spot where he could hide in the shadows. He opened the black case and saw parts for a Sniper Rifle. He began to put the parts together, creating the sniper rifle. When he finished, he activated his laser pointer eye and began to take aim. After a few minutes, the main target, the President, came into view. He took aim and pulled the trigger, causing the sniper shot sound to go off. The civilians took to the ground as did the guards and the rest of the guard. 1 by 1, he took down guards and Counsel Men and when he finished, he put away the sniper rifle into parts and took off when he began to hear sirens nearby. IG-88 made it back to the Business Man and left the Airspeeder there. He left with his case and began to walk back to the landing platform where a Fighter was waiting for him to steal. He took it and began to return to the Griffin Capital, leaving the Minotaur Capital in pure Chaos, Corruption, and Fear. I was waiting patiently for my droid to return and after a few short days, he came back. “So, how did it go?” I asked curiously. IG-88 anwered “The Capital is in terror now. Without the President, they are leaderless.” “Then it is our time to strike. You did well IG-88. Return to your quarters and charge up from your job.” IG-88 said “Yes master. That is the most logical course of action now.” IG-88 left to his quarters, leaving me to sit on the throne and summoning Iron Will and my medallion, purring with pleasure of the dark and evil thoughts. I smiled evilly, knowing that I’m growing stronger to the dark side. Meanwhile with Charming Thunder… He was resting about, thinking about his wonderful life with his new wife and family. However, it was short lived when he began to stir with dark thoughts. He felt something dark and twisted, growing ever stronger and stronger. He woke up in a scream and Twilight, who was next to him, got up instantly. Twilight asked, concern “Are you ok Charming?” Charming replied, reassuring her “I…I just had a bad dream, that’s all.” Twilight asked again “Are you sure? It sounded awfully real.” Charming said “Yes, I’m sure.” Twilight wanted to help Charming so she kissed him. Charming kissed back and they laid on the bed, kissing. However, while he had his eyes closed, if he had seen it with his own eyes, Twilight’s eyes flashed Cyan for a second and back to normal. Inside Twilight’s mind, somewhere in Zerus, Dusk was laughing as she could control Twilight’s love emotions to Charming Thunder. Dusk says in the back of Twilight's Mind "That's right Charming, fall for the lust. While you do that, I'll grow even stronger! Soon, my father will see you again and this time, you will be powerless to stop him." Charming and Twilight embrace deeper with each other, leaving Dusk to watch this through Twilight. Author's Note That's all folks! Hopefully you like this, it was thanks to Sonicdash123 that this Chapter was possible. Thank you very much.
