Meeting with Charming

The next day…

I have been feeling somewhat…unhealthy. I locked my door and ordered Trypticon to put a 24/7 security to watch my door. Team Insanity began to go worried why I haven’t left the room.

Brutalight said from behind the door “Danny, are you alright?”

“Go…away…” I groan in pain.

Darkbine replied “We are worried about you! Is there something we can do to help you?”

I replied “Yes…go…away…”

Rainbine said “No way buster! We are going inside that room, one way or another.”

Trypticon told her “ATTEMPT IT AND YOU WILL BE TERMINATED.”

For the few weeks before the raid of Canterlot, I’ve been getting an uneasy feeling inside my blood. I felt something changing inside me. Then I began to feel pain all of a sudden. Whatever was happening, it wasn’t good. Then it happened again, pain shot through me and I screamed in pain. The others clearly heard and they began to pound on the door.

Fluttershout said “Trypticon, you have to let us in!”

Trypticon reported back “NEGATIVE. MY ORDERS ARE TO KEEP MY MASTER PROTECTED FROM YOU.”

Rarifruit said “Don’t you hear the screaming? He’s in pain! He needs medical attention!”

“Go…AWAY…”

I felt the pain stab me again. I could feel my teeth shifting and I began to feel my muscles beginning to form up. My entire body shook in pure pain.

“Make it stop! Make the pain stop!!” I shouted in pain.

Endario shouted “Trypticon. Let us in!”

My entire body shook in pure pain. Trypticon ray shielded my door and made my room soundproof. Finally, it subsided and the pain disappeared. I was breathing heavily and began to feel hungry-

Hunt…

I got up and looked around. I went to look at the mirror and the first thing I noticed was that my front teeth were different. I had fangs now, which was weird. My eye color was still neon green and my Pegasus Wings were still there. It made no sense, why did I have fangs-

Hunt…

I looked around again, still seeing no source of the voice. My stomach rumbled for food and I went into my bedroom again.

“Trypticon, opened a hatch to allow me to leave the ship by flight.” I ordered.

A hole opened in the center of my bedroom and I jumped down and the hole closed up. I got outside the Nemesis and noticed that Ponyville was the closest place I could get to. Groaning, knowing this was unavoidable, I dashed to the town at Supersonic Speeds.

I managed to land safely inside the town and pulled out a black hood and everything. I put the hood up and began to look around, the streets were full and I began to walk into it, avoiding eye contact with anypony. However, I was interrupted by a Pegasus, who had bumped into me. The Pegasus was no more than a filly, an orange coat and purple mane and tail Pegasus filly. I recognized her, for she was the adopted sister of Rainbow Dash. Her name was Scootaloo and looking at her was making me nervous. I instantly ran off, making sure my hood stay on.

Scootaloo shouted after me “Hey! Wait a minute!”

I ran out of town and into the Everfree Forest. Scootaloo stopped at the entrance of the forest.

Scootaloo said “Who was that pony? Someone who would run just by me bumping into him or her? I better go tell Charming.”

She goes scooting to Twilight’s Castle, where Charming and Cadance were exactly at.

I ran all the way to the Ruin castle of the two Royal Pony Sisters…and I never felt so alive. My hood lowered and I began to examine the area. However, I stopped when I began to hear something. I went deeper and saw something new. Twilight Sparkle and a Black Alicorn Filly. I kept to the shadows and watched. Twilight began to leave with the Black Filly and I noticed the features of the eyes…Nightmare Moon’s Eyes. I shrugged it off and decided to follow in the shadows. We began to arrive to the entrance of the Everfree Forest when I saw Charming and Cadance coming up to her. I managed to stay hidden from sight and began to hear them talk. I also noticed that around Charming’s neck was the Medallion of Primus, which made me smirk.

Charming asked “Are you alright Twilight?”

Twilight said “Yes, I’m alright.”

Cadance asked, noticing the filly “Who’s the filly?”

Twilight replied, equally confused “I don’t know. I found her in the ruin castle when I went there to do some research about the Elements of Insanity but found her instead.”

My eyes widen. So they were told by Discord! I knew the act was too big for him to be fooled. But I couldn’t help but smile, knowing full well that they can’t find Trypticon because of his Cloaking Devise that masks him from radar and many other things.

Twilight asked “Any luck on finding those imposters?”

Charming shouted in frustration “No. We’ve tried everything and can’t find them on radar or anything! This doesn’t help the cause of their charges. Rainbow is furious already to be ‘grounded’.”

I frowned. I was now regretting ever doing that to Rainbow. But then it occur to me and I pulled out a piece of paper and quill and used my telekinesis and began to write a message down.

Dear Princesses and King of Equestria…
I know you are search for the Elements of Insanity and I am going to inform you to drop all charges against Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Applejack. They were, in fact, not the ones who stole the Element of Insanity. It was me, the Prodigy of the Time Master. I ordered them to take it because of one simple reason: The Prophecy. It tells of the doom of Equestria if Harmony and Insanity do not unite. I am doing what is best for the people of Equestria, if you don’t like it, then too bad. Also, I’ve noticed you have the Medallion of Primus King of Harmony. I can’t wait to spar or duel you on equal grounds.
Sincerely,
The Champion of Unicron

Using my skills, I managed to teleport the letter in front of Charming. He took it and began to read it and his eyes narrowed. He began to look around but my invisibility kept me hidden from his sight. I noticed his medallion glowing as did mine.

Twilight asked “Who send you that letter?”

Charming replied, hatefully “Someone who was behind the Canterlot Raid. He calls himself the Prodigy of the Time Master and also calls himself “Champion of Unicron”. He seems to know a lot about my medallion.”

Twilight said “We will have to ask Celestia and Luna.”

They began to leave. I decided to make my appearance and jumped down the tree. They heard my landing and turned around. My hood was up, protecting my identity.

Charming asked “Who are you?”

“I’m the one who was behind the whole raid.”

I showed him my medallion and that was when both medallions began to glow at each other’s presences.

“Can you feel it? Primus and Unicron, looking at each other with hate. Compared to the Princesses and us, we are nothing but underlings to them. Both were gods to their kind. Tell me this, Champion of Primus…how much would you like to find the EOI?” I said, enjoying the sight before me.

Twilight and Cadance got into a fighting stance. Charming touched his medallion and it began to glow more.

“Let me make a proposal then. I’ll deactivate the Nemesis’ cloaking devise as long as you come with the Princesses, Discord, and the Mane 6. Without your fleets or armada, just a private chat. I promise you, there will be no hostilities. We, Team Insanity, would love to extend our hoof to help you. Once you have located the Nemesis, tomorrow, and then come. I won’t show hostilities unless you keep Discord on a leash. We mean you no harm as long as you comply the same ways. Do we have an agreement?” I explained.

From what I could tell, Charming was thinking it over. I mentally smiled, knowing he couldn’t resist the chance to meet the EOI himself. After a few long minutes, he turned to me again and nodded. I smiled under my hood and my wings opened.

“I’ll be expecting you tomorrow…brother.” I replied.

I smiled even more by Charming’s shock expression and I began to kneel down for takeoff. I shot up to the sky and left a trail of green trail of lightning shaped color trail.

Author's Note

Danny and Charming has finally talked to one another! Now, they will discuss Team Insanity's 'true motives'.

Meeting with Royalty and Friends

The next day…

I was on the flight deck with the rest of the team. A few minutes ago, I had ordered Trypticon to take the cloaking offline. I was waiting patiently for our party to arrive and finally, I saw it. I saw a shuttle in the distance. The shuttle had lowered its landing gear and when it finished landing, the landing ramp lowered. I held my hood up, keeping my identity hidden. First, Rainbow and Applejack came out, followed by Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity. Then came Charming Thunder and Twilight Sparkle. Finally, Princesses Celestia, Luna, and Cadance came out and with them, following closely, was Discord. When they were among the flight deck, I smiled.

Charming said hostile-like “Alright, we are here…Now start talking.”

“Hostilities? I thought we agree to not show hostilities.”

Celestia asked calmly “Who are you?”

“That’s the question, isn’t it? Who am I? Well, might as well show you all.”

Brutalight asked me “You think that’s wise?”

“Dear Princess Brutalight, do you object?”

Brutalight said “No…”

“Then let them be on equal ground.” I replied.

I uncap my cloak and the wind took the cloak off, revealing my true identity. They all gasped at my appearance.

Mane 6, Princesses, and Charming shouted in unison “DANNY!?!”

I smiled and replied “Hello everypony.”

Discord asked “Who’s he?”

Luna replied, still shocked “He’s my son, Discord.”

“I am Danny Eclipse, Son of Princess Luna…and King Sombra! I am the twin brother of Charming Thunder! I am the Emperor of the Griffin Empire, former leader of the Phantom Consortium, leader of Team Insanity, and Champion of Unicron.”

I smiled at their reactions. It was utter shock and disbelief.

“Never expected it was me, didn’t you?” I asked, already knowing the answer.

They all nodded in unison. I smiled a bit more.

Charming said “So, you are my brother…”

“Indeed Charming. If you want proof, Luna and Sombra can confirm it.”

Luna confirmed “He speaks the truth.”

Discord asked, accusing “What I don’t get is why free the Elements of Insanity?”

“Because of the Dawning of Darkness. It’s a prophecy that tells the doom of Equestria, unless Harmony and Insanity didn’t unite. I wanted this to happen so we can talk things over. But first…Discord is going to promise under the Pinkie Promise that he will never use his magic against the Elements of Insanity and other Insanity Freaks unless they have done a pure evil deed and no wiping them from existences, just seal away their freak powers and everything.” I told them.

Discord groaned in response. He hated that deal a lot. Not only will he doing that but he will never be able to stop them unless they have committed an evil deed.

“Promise or no deal for an alliance with Team Insanity.” I said.

Discord groans and struggles but finally sigh in defeat and replied “Fine. I cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye.”

I smiled, knowing he will have to keep up to the promise otherwise the Elements of Harmony would be used against him.

“Alright. Now we have that out of the way, let us continue to main goal here. Me and Princess Brutalight would like discuss some terms…”

Brutalight steps forward.

Brutalight said “We have terms and conditions in the alliance. My terms are simple: We are not to be mistreated for being different. We are to have equal rights like the Mane 6. And we can hire our own army of pony freaks. We are to have a role in Equestria and not to be avoided. We can be in your military if we wish.”

Charming replied “Seems easy enough.”

Brutalight added “Oh, there is more. I get my throne and title of Princess of Insanity in Equestria.”

Celestia replied “That will be difficult to do…”

Brutalight ordered “Make it happen.”

Celestia sigh and replied “Fine…”

Luna asked “Anything else you demand for?”

Brutalight said “One more thing: A base of operations where our work is our own business.”

Charming told her “Alright, we can do that.”

Brutalight replied “Alright.”

“Now that we got that away, we must now focus our efforts against Lightning.”

Luna said “Alright, I think we can agree on that.”

“Lightning was the Squad Leader of the Phantom Consortium. She’s a coward and wouldn’t DARE invade Canterlot without having the entire army to back her up. She no doubts has my flagship, The Eclipse. I made sure she couldn’t use the Superlaser on it by placing a code on it that only me, Meta, and Dusk would know. Without that superlaser, the Super Star Destroyer is safe to enter battle. But our military was made to pacifically deal with military forces. I can help you repel the Phantom Consortium, since I made the faction. However, the loss of life will be too great to recover from. So, just allow me to stop Lightning in her tracks by my way. I’ll be meeting you, resigning myself back to Equestria, and initiate Protocol Zeta.”

Charming asked “Protocol Zeta?”

I smiled with great excitement.

“Did you really think I wouldn’t have an emergency failsafe protocol in case somepony had betrayed me? My droids have this protocol inside them, so that will change the tides. The Ponies who were under my command know to never fight me so they will return to me. The only thing that we should watch out is if Lightning builds an army of her own droids.”

Celestia said to herself “This war may end quicker…”

“Indeed. However, I demand that she is under my punishment. With my punishment, it’ll be a miracle if she survives what I have plan for her.”

Celestia began to think it over and nods, agreeing with that term. Lightning once served under her nephew’s command, she must be punished by her own nephew.

“Good. Now, for pressing matters…”

Luna asked “What is it?”

“For some odd reason, I’ve undergo a semi-transformation…”

I opened my mouth and pointed to my teeth, revealing my fangs. They all were shocked to see them.

Luna said “It seems…your birthright has finally shown up.”

“Birthright, mother?”

Luna told me “Yes. Nightmare Moon was your mother as well. She was a Vampony who created the Vampony Empire. She was rose to existence halfway through your birth. She must have given you the blessing to becoming her successor if something happened to her.”

“Well, I’m nothing like her.” I said.

Charming asked “What should we do now?”

“Tomorrow, during the sunrise, we meet in the war room in Canterlot and prepare the battle. I’ll inform you on everything. Vehicles, Troops, Fighters, etc.”

Luna said “See you tomorrow then, son.”

“Bye Mother.”

They all left, leaving me and the EOI alone.

Brutalight asked “Can we really trust them Danny?”

“They will have to.” I replied. “Otherwise they will loss Canterlot. Meta may have been my military official but he doesn’t know all the secrets of the Phantom Consortium. Besides, Lightning has cross the line too far and I intend on finishing what I should have done long ago.”

Rainbine said “At least we will be safe…”

“Indeed. Come, we must ready for war.”

The Team went back inside to get prepared for the incoming war.

I've don't really know when Sonicdash123 will submit his Equestria War IX but here is how alliance formed.

Strengths and Weaknesses

The next day, around sunrise…

The Rogue Shadow arrived to the Capital of Equestria, Canterlot. A battalion arrived to greet their arrival. The Landing Ramp lowered and The EOI came down with me and the other Insanity Freaks. The battalion saluted and Shining Armor came to meet us.

Shining said to us “Welcome to Canterlot, Prince Danny and Princess Brutalight.”

“It’s good to be back without a hood or cloak. I expect that we are going to be taken to the war room?”

Shining said “Yes sir. Follow me.”

We nod and Shining Armor began to lead us away to the castle.

The War Room’s doors opened and me and Brutalight walked in with Shining Armor. He closed the doors with his magic and we gathered around the table. At the meeting was Charming, Twilight, Celestia, Luna, Cadance, Meta, Chrysalis, and Rainbow. I sat next to Rainbow, who happily allowed. Brutalight sat to my right and Shining sat next to Cadance.

Celestia said “Now that we are all here, we need to know everything about our opponent. Danny, can you please take it from here.”

“With pleasure.” I replied and got up. “Now listen to me very carefully when I say this. The Phantom Consortium is a force to be feared. I created that faction during my year and months in hiding. Now, their military strength is rather powerful, that I’m proud of. The Ground forces are focused on vehicles than infantry. Infantry is strong but not a solid steel grip. However, the vehicles are what we should be worried about. MZ-8 Mobile Pulse Cannon are tank/artillery units. Their weapons can damaged the most heaviest of armors, but a whole cluster of them can take down even AT-ATs.”

Charming replied “That is a problem for us then.”

“Indeed…moving on. The Missile Attack Launcher is a unit that is based for long range attacks. However, it has to deploy before it can use it’s artillery against us. As long as they don’t deploy, we will be having some luck. They work very well against infantry forces.” I explained.

Twilight said “I can see why the ground vehicle military is so powerful. If ground troopers can’t get close to the main assault force, we are screwed.”

“You think that’s bad, it gets worse. Next is the Canderous-class assault tank. These assault tanks have armor and firepower that can rival an AT-AT.”

Charming asked “Seriously?”

“I take my faction very seriously. Your forces won’t have a prayer against them. And they hover, unlike the AT-AT, so cable is out of the question.”

Rainbow asked “Would bombers work against them?”

“Yes, they may have a chance. But the tanks don’t exactly go alone. They always have an escort with them to keep them safe and sound from enemy forces.”

Shining told us “We can place uplinks on the ground, help guide bombers to their target.”

“I don’t know about that. When I made the Phantom Consortium, I made sure I had defenses as well. That’s why I made the Mobile Defense Unit. Its primary proposes is to defend the main attack force and defend the base. When deployed, they can create several different things. It can turn into a mobile shield generator, vehicle repair station, EM field generator, concussion grenade mortar, offensive sensor node, sensor scrambler, ysalamir cage; which was design to withhold magic users like Unicorns or Alicorns, Rocket Pod; which is used as anti-aircraft weaponry, & rapid fire laser cannon; which works effectively against both infantry and vehicles.” I told them, smiling a bit at what I did to that little project.

Charming said “You are right. You take your faction very seriously…”

Rainbow told me “At first, I thought those Defense Units were nothing but now; I think they are a serious threat.”

“Their armor isn’t exactly very good; AT-ATs can destroy them with ease if the shields weren’t up.”

Charming said, relieved “That’s good news.”

“Anyways…Next one you should be familiar with. The ISP, Infantry Support Platform or Swamp Speeder.”

Shining said “I’m familiar with those. We used to use them back in the Lunar Wars but we scrapped them later…”

“Indeed. We still use them for some certain missions. We can use them for certain things and they work well for intercepting ground troops. Next is the AT-AP, otherwise known as the Sniper Tank. It’s used for scouting mission and knows how to gun down enemy forces. They are hardly the problem but their weapons are a threat.”

Charming said “AT-STs could fight them off, as long as they don’t take much damage.”

“Finally, the HAVt B5 Juggernaut.”

Luna said “That was used by the New Lunar Republic during the Lunar Wars. Heavy transport, it could carry an army to the area.”

“Indeed, my army has little connection to the NLR but we still used what we thought was useful.”

Charming replied “Is that it?”

“Indeed, besides the Droideka MK IIs and the Commando Droids. But the fleets are a much bigger threat here.”

Rainbow asked “How is the fleet?”

“StarViper-class attack platform are the basic fighters but they are equipped with Buzz Droids…”

Charming groaned and replied “Ugh, I hate buzz droids…”

“Any enemy force would hate buzz droids. Next are the bombers: Skipray Blastboat. The Bombers are normally fused with the fighters, making them a bit harder to hit.” I said.

Rainbow said, confident “1 type of fighters. Sounds easy enough.”

“It isn’t. The real problem is the Crusader-class corvette. They were design with anti-fighter and bomber weapons. Getting past those will be nearly impossible. Those guns would tear the fighters into a new one. And they are always with the fighters assault force.”

Rainbow said “If we can use our frigates against them, odds are in our favor.”

“Not yet. Next is the Interceptor IV frigate, design to deal with good damage. 2 Turbolasers and concussion missiles, perfect against corvettes. Followed by Vengeance-class Frigates. They are not normally used for front lines by rather side lines. They have a cloaking generator that allows them to mask their presence and keeps them invisible. They don’t have shields but the armor is thick and protective. They have 2 turbolasers and 4 mass-driver cannons.” I explained.

Charming said “We can think of ways to repel them, hopefully.”

“Finally, the capital ships. Keldabe-class battleship are so powerful, they can rival that of a Star Destroyer.” I said with glee. The Keldabe were always my favorite in the fleet.

Charming said, a bit uncomfortable “Ok, THAT is a problem. Our fleet is basically Star Destroyers!”

“Then you better hope that you win. These ships are equipped with 25 Heavy Turbolasers, 15 heavy ion cannons, 2 mass-driver missile launchers, 10 missiles, a shield leecher weapon, and 5 heavy tractor beams.”

Charming asked “Shield leecher weapon?”

“It was a special weapon design to adapt and absorb enemy shields, sucking away the shields. Picture 2 Star Destroyers vs. 1 Keldabe-class battleship. It used its leecher weapon against 1 Star Destroyer while fighting the other one.”

Charming said, impressed “Very useful…”

“Indeed. I’m proud to have made such a ship. Meta, do you have your ship?”

Meta asked “The Merciless?”

“Yes.”

Meta said “Indeed. I still have it with me and the Odin.”

“Good. Less to tell. Now, the final ship. The main Flagship and Warship and the Pride of the Phantom Consortium: The Eclipse.”

Charming asked “The Eclipse?”

Meta said, smirking at the thought of it “Danny’s Personal Ship. Like you Charming with your Super Star Destroyer.”

“The Eclipse…my personal flagship. 550 Heavy Laser Cannons, 500 Turbolasers, 10 Gravity Well Projectors, 100 Tractor Beams, and 75 ion cannons. But what makes it the Pride of the Phantom Consortium is the main gun itself: The Superlaser!”

Meta said, reassuring the others “Lucky for you that we put a code on it that Lightning doesn’t know about.”

“That ship is my favorite, by far.”

Charming said, nervous to hear a ship that could rival or better the Super Star Destroyer “That ship WILL BE a massive problem.”

“You are NOT to destroy or damage her! It took months to make that ship! Besides, the Zeta Protocol will reprogram the Royal Guard onboard it. They can retake the ship.”

Charming said “Alright, fine.”

“So, that’s all.” I said

Charming said “Alright, we need to make the plan now.”

“Alright, I’ll leave that to you.”

Charming replied “What?”

“I must mediate for the upcoming battle. You think of the plan, since I will be following it. I like to know how you get things done around here.”

I sat back down and began to mediate, listening to Charming's War plan very carefully.

Author's Note

Alright. I did my part of Sonicdash123 of the war meeting. Sorry Sonicdash123 for doing this but I want you to do it since I gave away information about the Phantom Consortium's Strengths and Weaknesses. :twilightsheepish: :scootangel:

The Battle of Canterlot

A few hours later…

I had position members of Team Insanity in the ground and air. Rainbine and me would fight in the skies, Fluttershout, Rarifruit, Endario, Masquerade, and Applepills were working for medical support. Darkbine, Scorpion, Pinkis, and Brutalight were on the front lines. Meta was on his ship, the Merciless, using his technology to try to find a way to enter Phantom Consortium communications systems. Dusk was on the front lines with Charming and the Main 6, except for Rainbow. Me and Rainbine went inside the hanger bay and found Rainbow and Light, talking. They see me and Rainbow was shocked to see Rainbine, who smirked back to her.

“I’ll take my fighter, the Soulless One. I design it to be very fast and rapid fire.” I told them.

Rainbine added “I’ll take one of your TIE Interceptor.”

Rainbow said “Alright…”

Rainbine said “Oh, where are my manners? I’m Rainbine Dash, Element of Cybernetics and your Insanity Counterpart.”

Light asked “Well, are we going together?”

“Alright. I’ll lead, Rainbow; you can cover my right. Rainbine and Light, you ladies can take the left.” I ordered

We all nod and began to go to our fighters…

Dusk had a pair of Binoculars and she was looking out for the army. Finally, she catches sight of the assault force.

Dusk shouted “Alright, here they are!”

They looked at what she was seeing and hands the binoculars to Charming and he looks.

Charming ordered “Alright, they approach. Everypony, to your battle stations!”

The others begin to take positions and the soldiers went to their positions. The AT-ATs began to fire their guns against the assault group. Darkbine began to charge ahead as a group of troops began to advance. They see Canderous Tanks beginning to fire back. A few AT-APs began to fire at the group, which took cover.

The fighters deploy and I was ahead.

“Meta, how is the decrypting coming along?”

Meta replied on communicator “Lightning changed the communication frequency, it’s going to take much longer now.”

“Until then, we need to hold out.”

Rainbine shouted on communicator “Fighters incoming!”

I looked and see the massive fleet of StarVipers beginning their attack run. The Bombers were behind them and behind those were the Crusader Corvettes. However, I noticed something missing…

“Hold on! Attention all units, we have a problem.” I reported on my communicator.

Charming asked on communicator “What is it?”

“Lightning’s not leading the fighter assault! I repeat: She’s not leading the fighter assault!”

Dusk replied on communicator “That’s odd. She could be trying to find a way to avoid the assault.”

“No way. We would have picked up her fighter’s signal. I think she’s on the ground!” I replied.

Charming said “If she is, we’ll find her soon enough.”

The fighter assault collided with ours and the fighting broke loose.

Meanwhile on one of the Crusader Corvettes…

The Captain ordered “Get ready to fire against the enemy force-“

A Pilot reported “Sure! We are picking up a signal. It’s of Phantom Consortium origin- Wait, it’s the Soulless One!”

The Captain said “Lord Danny’s Fighter? Impossible!”

The Pilot replied “My instruments don’t lie unless there is a malfunction.”

The Captain ordered “Open hailing channel on the fighter.”

I was being chased by 3 StarVipers but Rainbow saved my neck. Me and Rainbow were together on this and we continue to take down fighters. I began to hear my communicator beeping. I opened the channel.

Captain asked on the communicator “Lord Danny? Is that you?”

“Identify yourself!”

Captain said “I’m one of the captains of a Crusader Corvette. It’s good to see you again, sir! We are still loyal to you.”

“Inform to Consortium then. Let them know I’m here!” I ordered.

I kept listening to the channel. The Captain told the entire Consortium that I was back and I began to hear half the fleet returning to my control.

“All those who are still loyal to me, turn your guns against the traitors!”

When the order was given, several different ships began to open fire against the Anti-Consortium Ships who were loyal to Lightning. They began to break into a fight.

“All Droids of the Consortium, respond to code Zeta4523!”

I smiled as the droids began to instantly reprogram to return under my control.

“All Droid Units, engage to anti-Consortium forces and they are to be shot on sight!”

On the ground…

Charming and Dusk were leading the assault forces. They were surrounded by Commando Droids who were pointing their blasters at them. They were about to pull the trigger until their eyes turned from red to green. They began to salute to Dusk and she smiled.

Dusk shouted with glee “Father did it! Protocol Zeta is in effect!”. Then she ordered “All droids engage the traitors!”

The Commando Droids and Droideka MK IIs began to open fire against the Infantry forces and the Vehicles. Some pony soldiers of the Phantom Consortium began to turn to the enemy and fire at them.

Dusk said “Father must have informed the Consortium of his return. Loyalists turned against enemy.”

Charming replied, happy at the turns of the tide “This battle just turned to our favor now.”

They began to lead the offensive now.

On the bridge of the Eclipse…

Captain Duran stormed the bridge. His Royal Commandos took the bridge and took control over the Eclipse. Duran began to type down the code and they had control over the Superlaser. He targeted one of the battleship’s and fired, destroying it.

Duran said “All hail Lord Danny!”

Me and Rainbow cut from the assault group, heading to the main fighting force. We saw the Superlaser destroy a battleship and I smiled. Duran had took the bridge.

“Rainbow, the tides have turned. We need to find Lightning!”

Rainbow asked “But where is she?”

“Lightning is a coward. But if she isn’t-No, she couldn’t have…”

Rainbow asked “What is it?”

“Rainbow, you continue the assault! I need to head back to the castle!” I ordered to her.

Rainbow asked again “What is she planning?”

“I think this is a distraction for us while she makes her way to the Castle, undetected! She plans to target the Princesses and take the throne!” I shouted.

Rainbow replied “I’m going with you!”

“No, it will be-“

Rainbow said “It’s my fault she wants revenge! I have to stop her before she does something she will regret.”

I began think about it and sigh in defeat.

“Fine. Follow me!”

Rainbow and me change course, heading back to the Castle. Rainbine and Light continue the assault.

“Charming, I think I know what Lightning is planning. She is heading the castle with an attack force! She could be trying to take the throne while we are distracted!” I shouted on the communicator.

Charming replied “Makes sense since she is a coward. I’m heading back now with a squad.”

“Me and Rainbow are on our way back as well. We will need to stop her!”

Lightning Dust, six Purge Troopers, and a large squad of ponies who were loyal to her had past the main gate after killing off some guards. Their forces made into the castle and when they got inside, they opened the throne room doors and see Princess Celestia, Luna, and Cadance. The three Princesses looked at Lightning in surprise. Lightning smirked and waved her hand, 4 cages were lead inside. The Princesses’ eyes narrowed as Lightning used them to locked them inside. They tried to use their magic but it failed. However, the victory was short lived when she heard someone walk in. Lightning looked and see Charming. She smirks as he draws his lightsaber.

Charming said “So, you must be Lightning Dust…”

Lightning replied “Well, look who came. I hoped you would come.”

Charming charged but regretted it when a ghostly hand grabs Charming and pulls him into a cage. He loses his lightsaber and tried to use his magic but it failed. Lightning laughs in victory.

Lightning shouted with victory and glee “I took you all down by myself! Now, I will become the only Queen of Equestria! My coronation will begin immediately!”

A familiar voice said “Coronation Lightning? This is bad comedy…”

Lightning’s eyes narrowed as she looked at the door. She sees me, lightsabers drawn and smiling evilly. Rainbow was next to me with a blaster pistol in her hooves.

Lightning said nervously “L-Lord Danny!?! Phantom Consortium! I am your true leader now! I order you to attack Danny!”

I smiled evilly and put away my lightsabers and grabbed a hold of my medallion. Suddenly, the Dark Star Saber appeared in front of me and I grabbed it. The Pony Troops were nervous to see me and slowly began to pull back.

Lightning shouted “Your return is too late! The Phantom Consortium is now loyal to me! The Reign of Lightning has begun!”

“And now it will end!” I replied with glee and hate.

Lightning ordered “Destroy him!”

The Purge Troopers began to advance onto me. I took my sword and charged at them. I slash one of them in half and stabbed another. 1 of them fired a blue energy missile at me but I dodged it and used Force Storm against 3 of them, shocking them and their circuits exploded. The last one tried to grab me but I cut its left arm off and then cut the right leg off, making it fall. I then stabbed the center of it and it died. The pony troopers became more fearful.

Lightning said “Cowards! Is there no pony left who would challenge this…this pretender to the throne!?”

One of the Pony Troopers replied “Fight your own battles, Lightning Dust! Unless you’re a coward!”

“Lightning Dust—your mockery of a reign is over!” I shouted with hatred.

I used my Force Storm and shocked Lightning. She screamed in pain and falls to the ground, dropping the remote that she had to hold the cages. It explodes and the cages opened, no longer using their Anti-Magic effect. Lightning began to coward as I approach her with my sword.

Lightning begged “Lord Danny…please have mercy! I beg of you! I thought you would want this!”

“Mercy!? YOU DARE ASK FOR MERCY!! No! I’ve made many mistakes in my past but this is one I don’t plan to make again!”

I began to raise my sword.

Lightning begged more “No…please! Have mercy!!”

Charming shouted “She asks for mercy Danny! That’s enough!”

I ignore him and ready to strike her down. I swung down and was about to hit her until I see a white sword stop it. I looked at it and was surprised. It was the Star Saber and see Charming holding it.

Charming shouted “No! She doesn’t deserve death!”

“You DARE protect the one being who would kill or sell you out for her own life!?”

Charming paused for a few minutes before…

Charming replied “Yes…”

Author's Note

That is the end of this but now a fight may break out now. Sonicdash123, I request that you make your part of the battle of Charming's point of view.

Danny vs. Charming: Reality Strikes

I was angry that Charming would protect Lightning! She was a murderer who killed innocent lives! Unarmed Men, Women, and Children! I originally planned to torture her until they swore her very life to remain loyal to me but my anger was too great for just sweet torture. Now, it didn’t help when Charming blocked my strike at Lightning. I backed off and my medallion was glowing. Charming’s medallion was glowing as well.

Unicron said in my mind “I warned you that we couldn’t trust Primus and Charming!”

I nodded at that and smiled evilly.

“You are a fool to challenge me. Now you must pay the price. Don’t worry, I won’t kill you. I’ll just knock you out by any means!” I shouted at Charming

Suddenly, purple markings began to appear all over my body as my eye color changed to purple. I grinned evilly as Unicron’s power coursed through me.

“Oh, that’s right. You don’t have that much experience with your medallion yet…well, I’ve had mine for about an entire year. More than enough time to learn how to use Unicron’s power to help me. You know, it’s ironic how I managed to first unlock it. Do you remember Lightning?”

Lightning replied, nervously “Y-Yes…you faced the Gorog…”

“Indeed. I was with a female Ponylorian, a Blind Diamond Dog, and that dead weigh Griffin. But ever since then, I’ve been training myself to control and use Unicron’s power. And you, Charming Thunder, only have your medallion for a couple of days.”

The Dark Star Saber began to glow purple as well, it was growling with hunger for power. The Star Saber began to glow blue and Charming got into a fighting position. I roared like a beast and charged. Our swords clashed and a purple-blue energy mist was created. When the blades separated, the mist disappeared. We slashed at each other a few more and we lock into a cross.

“At last we take our rightful places Charming Thunder, as gods. Wielding the power of the cosmos.” I shouted with glee.

I broke the lock and grabbed your neck and slammed Charming against the wall.

Charming replied “I’m nothing but a King, Danny. And you are a prisoner of your own twisted mind!”

Charming pushed me off and onto the ground. I get up and fired a massive purple beam at Charming. Charming managed to dodge the attack but it goes through the wall and they see the beam hit a part of the Super Star Destroyer, blasting that part to pieces.

“Now you see why Unicron and Primus were gods. Their very might could destroy anything we could make!”

Charming charged at me again and I charged back. We clashed and our power was evenly matched.

“Do you even know what Lightning has done Charming?” I asked, curious on his answer.

Charming answered back “I don’t. But I know one thing: Everypony deserves a second chance!”

I pushed Charming back and slashed at him. Charming managed to block it and we locked again.

“Second chances!? What about Sombra!? Or Nightmare Moon!?” I shouted with hate.

I broke the lock and slash at Charming. I managed to cut his right shoulder and we clashed again.

“Or maybe Revan!? How about Chrysalis!? You haven’t exactly accepted her and neither have your mighty nation!”

I broke the lock again and we slashed again, entering another lock.

“How about Slade!? Ever give him a second chance!? Or maybe even Malgus!?”

I pushed at the lock, making Charming slowly lose the lock battle.

“How about Calamitous!? Ever give the great general a chance!?”

I was at the breaking part for the lock battle.

“How about yourself when you were evil!? Ever give your evil side a chance!?”

I finally broke the lock and kicked Charming away towards the throne. He fell with the sword a few feet away from him. I was breathing medium to near heavily.

“Admit it Charming! You don’t believe in that stuff! You KILLED out of your own heart’s desire! Not even giving it a second thought! You murdered Slade because he killed your mother and my Aunt! You killed Revan, Malgus, Calamitous, and Nightmare Moon without a reason! You DON’T BELIEVE IN SECOND CHANCES!!!" I shouted at him, hoping reality of the world would crack him.

Charming slowly got up. Out of everything I’ve ever said, it hit him more than physical wounds. I wasn’t sure what Charming was thinking but one thing was for sure; he knew I made a point.

Charming said, completely shattered at those questions at once “I never- I believed-“

“Admit it Charming…you don’t care for anypony but yourself and your friends and family. Lightning doesn’t deserve a second chance because she murdered families. Lightning killed unarmed men, women, and children without a second thought. You think you have the right to kill others and not think about the consequences. It’s time to wake up Charming! You have been living a dream of life being a lie.” I shouted at him, reinforcing reality to Charming.

I smiled mentally and my markings withdraw back into the medallion. For the first time in history, Charming was speechless. I unsummon the Dark Star Saber and the Star Saber unsummon as well. I walked up to Lightning and grabbed her by the throat.

“I won’t kill you Lightning. I’m not like Charming, who kills without the thought of consequences. However, you will find that I’m going to enjoy your punishment very much.” I told him.

I began to drag Lightning Dust away.

Lightning cried out in fear “No Lord Danny! No! NO!! NOOOOOO!!!”

Her cries of ‘no’ continued until they were out of hearing range. Rainbow and the other princesses looked at Charming with somber regret. Cadance went to cuddle with Charming, hoping to cheer him up. Rainbow shook her head and left to go after me.

“Make sure she doesn’t go anywhere. She’ll be experiencing torture for two weeks for her crimes.”

Commando Droid replied “Yes sir!”

I left the prison section of the Eclipse. I had put Lightning Dust into high security for her crimes. I was surprisingly met up with Rainbow, who kissed me instantly. I kissed back and look a bit sad.

“I’m sorry you had to see that. But he has to face reality.” I explained to her.

Rainbow said “I know and I don’t blame you. You were helping him see the truth in his actions.”

“But-“

Rainbow told me “Shh…Follow me.”

I follow Rainbow to my quarters where she locked the door and looked at me, sexy like. I smirked, already knowing what she had in mind.

“You sure about this?” I asked her, trying to confirm her actions.

Rainbow irresistible replied “I’ve waited long enough. I want you now.”

“Alright, let’s do it.” I replied, smiling at what we were about to do.

Author's Note

That was that fight and finally, Danny and Rainbow get laid together. :ajsmug: Now all Sonicdash123 has to do is Charming's point of view of the fight and the story can continue.

The Alliance Ends: The Warning

Meanwhile…

Dusk had sense what had transpired and managed to get closed to the throne room and that was she heard Charming say-

“…Inform the soldiers to track down the Eclipse. If we are lucky, we would bring in Rainbow Dash."

"If she is his prisoner," Celestia said.

"Not a prisoner. I sensed compassion for Danny in her during our meeting. As for the Phantom Consortium and Lightning Dust, they will answer to me." Charming replied.

Dusk was shocked and knew of the treason. She used a teleportation spell and managed to appear on the Eclipse’s bridge.

Duran said “Queen Dusk-“

Dusk ordered “Tell all units to withdraw. Tell them…The Equestrian Empire has plan to attack my father! Oh, and tell them that if the Equestrian Empire follows…kill them. They have crossed the line.”

Duran asked “Are you sure?”

Dusk said “I sense anger and I have figured that Charming wants Danny alive. Inform Trypticon and the Elements of Insanity of this treason.”

Duran nods and goes to inform the crew of the change. Dusk, full of anger, decides to use her triumphed card. Use the Elements of Harmony against Charming…

Charming looked outside on a balcony and sees the armies of the Phantom Consortium making a full retreat. Twilight had arrived with the other elements, except for Rainbow. Charming looked at them and smiled to see them. However, it was short lived when their expressions turned to anger. Charming was shocked to see this and so was the other princesses.

Twilight demanded “What’s going on!? Why was there a purple beam of energy that hit the Super Star Destroyer!?”

Charming replied “Danny tried to kill Lightning. I defended her and Danny attacked me for it. In the end, he managed to beat me and take Lightning. Rainbow left to go with Danny and I believe that Danny must answer for his crimes-“

There was a flash of light and Dusk appeared in front of the mane 5. Charming was surprised as were the princesses.

Dusk said “You dare charge my father crimes for trying to end that traitor’s life!?”

Charming said “Dusk, you must see reason…”

Dusk replied “No! All I see is my Uncle trying to arrest my father for doing what he thought was right! He was angry to find out that Lightning took over the Consortium while he was gone for his quest!”

Charming replied “You know, you are turning traitor on us now…”

Dusk said “I never signed a deal with you! My loyalties lie with my father! I came here to give you a warning…”

Charming asked “What warning?”

Dusk warned dead seriously “If you follow the Phantom Consortium, I promise you that we will enter a war that the Equestrian Empire will lose! We have powerful allies that back us up and we aren’t afraid to ask for their aid! And need I remind you that Meta is one of the Phantom Consortium Generals! If you go into a war with us…The Changelings won’t back you up. Well, Meta’s half of a hive won’t. Chrysalis may but she knows of Danny’s great power…and fears it. I doubt she would want to fight Danny. So, admit it Charming, you are outclass and outnumber in this war.”

Dusk teleported away. She knew that saying that, Charming will be forced to NOT enter war. She wasn’t lying and Charming knew the Phantom Consortium is resourceful. She hoped that war could be avoided.

The next day…

At the border line of Equestria and the Griffin Lands…

Dusk was on the bridge with Duran. The door opened and she looks and see both Danny and Rainbow there.

“What has happened?” I asked.

Dusk replied, dead serious “Charming was planning for treason.”

“He was what!?”

Dusk replied “Treason. Charming wants you to be sentence to justice.”

Unicron said within my mind “I knew Charming was a threat. We should have killed him when we had the chance.”

“I spared his life! He should be thankful for that!”

Rainbow replied “I know…”

“Rainbow?”

Rainbow said “I’m loyal to you, my love. Charming crossed the line when he sentence that.”

“What about-“

Dusk said “Don’t worry, Team Insanity and the rest of the Phantom Consortium was informed about the change of events. I warned Charming that if he came after us, he will suffer great losses and we will enter war.”

“I did my best to stay out of it. But I guess Charming can’t help himself.” I said, angry.

The door opened and the EOI came and so did Cynder.

Cynder asked “My Lord, are you alright?”

“Yes I am. Rainbow, this is Cynder. She is my housecarl, my personal bodyguard. Cynder, this is my love, Rainbow Dash of the Element of Loyalty.”

Cynder said “Nice to meet you Rainbow.”

Rainbow replied “Likewise Cynder-“

There was beeping and I looked on the monitor. Far behind us was a small fleet of Star Destroyers.

Dusk said “Charming must be wondering where we are going.”

“Too bad they won’t live to tell about it. I’m going to use Trypticon. They will tell him why I’m a God and he isn’t.”

I teleported and Dusk kept the monitor on the fleet, amused to see what Trypticon is about to do to them.

I teleported into Trypticon’s main computer core and took over Trypticon. I had the Nemesis cut off from the fleet and I discovered a transmission. Charming and the Admiral of the fleet was talking…

Admiral said on transmission “King Charming, The Nemesis has broken from the formation…and heading towards us!”

Charming ordered “Hail it.”

Admiral opened the new channel “Attention Nemesis, state your-“

“MY NAME IS TRYPTICON, METAL TITAN OF THE PHANTOM CONSORTIUM!! NOW CHARMING THUNDER, I AM LISTENING TO YOUR TRANSMISSION, HEAR WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DARE TRY TO ATTACK MY CREATOR AND MASTER, DANNY ECLIPSE!!!” I replied in Trypticon’s voice.

Trypticon transformed into his true form.

Admiral said in disbelief “What the-That ship is a giant metal lizard in disguise!?”

1 of the officer said “Admiral and my King, the armor on that thing is-exactly the same armor that was on the Death Stars!!”

Admiral said “That thing’s metal is the exact metal from both Death Stars!?”

I used Trypticon’s missiles and destroyed the first ship. 3 more left…I jumped up and used my tail and slammed it down to destroy another ship.

Admiral shouted “That thing is too powerful for our ships!! Retreat-“

I opened Trypticon’s mouth and a bunch of dark energy bolts hit another ship, leaving the Admiral’s ship.

Admiral said “That thing-“

I grabbed the last ship and used my communication’s systems to hack into the transmission.

“You underestimate me Charming.” I said on the transmission. “You should have stayed away and forget the alliance. The Alliance is officially ended. And you now know that my powers are greater than you imagine.”

Charming said “Danny, you must answer for your crimes…for attack me.”

“I was showing mercy to you because you were my brother! But now I see; your pathetic ideals will turn Equestria into a barren wasteland if you continue to come after me, just like Cybertron. You will be the cause and I’ll be the solution. If you come after me, then you will deserve no less than the oblivion I will bring to you. Rethink your action brother, I spared you the first time we crossed blades, I won’t be as merciful as last time. I’ll be merciless next time. You don’t know how much it pained me to kill these innocent lives Charming, just to show you that my power is greater than yours and I should never be underestimated. Good-bye Charming Thunder…”

Charming said “Danny, wait-“

I used Trypticon’s hands to crush the ship into dust, ending the transmission and killing those innocents. I programmed Trypticon to regroup with the fleet. I teleport back to the bridge of the Eclipse.

“I hope Charming heeds my warning…I hate to kill my own brother.” I said, miserably.

Rainbow replied “I’m sure he will understand. Even he knows when he is outmatched.”

Author's Note

Alright Sonicdash123, your turn. How about in the next few chapters you will add Omega Supreme? I've already mention him before this story.

New Technology and Combaticons

The Fleet made it back to the Capital of the Griffin Empire. A shuttle with me, Rainbow, and Cynder landed on a landing platform where the Palace was at. The landing ramp lowered and Cynder got out first. Me and Rainbow got off last together and we walked down to meet the group of Griffin Soldiers who were saluting at my return. Gilda came out and kneeled before me. She saw Rainbow and smiled a bit.

Rainbow said happily “Gilda!”

Gilda replied the same emotion “Rainbow!”

“Ah, you two know each other?”

Gilda explained “We were friends at one point before our reunion in Ponyville. I left and never came back but now I see Rainbow came with you, Lord Danny.”

“It’s good to see you too Gilda. I heard what Lightning had done and her reign ended as did the Alliance with the Equestrian Empire.” I said.

Gilda asked “What happened?”

“I tried to kill Lightning but Charming got in the way. He’s after me and Rainbow and I need to set up a blockade at the border line.” I explained

Gilda said “The Griffin Empire with the Phantom Consortium will set up that blockade. Oh, we also created some new technology.”

“May we see it?”

Gilda replied “Of course, milord.”

Gilda began to escort us to the Factory.

We arrived to the Factory and we began to look at some new technology.

We see a prototype starfighter that was brown and looked new. It had a chin-mounted plasma cannon and two wing-mounted missile pods. It had a ray-shielded cockpit and flexible airframe. Then there was a prototype of a six legged artillery. There were one articulated electromagnetic plasma cannon and two antipersonnel laser cannons. It had heavy armor, design to counter any weaponry: Blasters, Bombs, Rocket Launchers, you name it. The next one was a hovercraft, assault tank. It had two twin electromagnetic plasma cannons. The cockpit was heavy armored. The last one was a Impeding Assault Tank, or IAT. 10 double-ended blaster cannons (one per body segment), 4 articulated turret guns (head segment), and 2 twin cannons (tail segment). It had the ability to go underground and was immune to blaster fire but not to Rocket Launchers or Thermo Grenades. I noticed there was only 1 pilot per vehicle and smiled.

“Impressive…how you make them?”

Gilda explained “We combined our weaponry and technology with the Minotaur advance shielding systems. Now, we are 4 powerful vehicles.”

“Have you tested them yet?”

Gilda replied with glee “Yes.”

“Good. Also…” I said, then trailed off.

I pulled out a chip and gave it to Gilda.

“Fighter semantics on some X-Wings, B-Wings, Y-Wings, and A-Wings.”

Rainbow asked “Where did you get those?”

“Found them during my time in Equestria,” I replied. “I stole the semantics so Charming couldn’t use them. Now we have some new fighters.”

Rainbow said “Well, now that we have more fighters to work with, what is the next step in your plan against Charming, in case he does come after you and me?”

“Well, I want to make you immortal Rainbow.”

Rainbow asked “Do you really love me that much?”

“Yes. I must find a way to make you immortal. I want to spend my life with you.”

Rainbow replied while nuzzling me “Me too…Do you have a way to do it?”

I frowned and didn’t know how to give Rainbow immortality. Then it occur to me. How about the Blessing of the Moon?

“Well, I could give you…the blessing of the moon.”

Rainbow asked “Blessing of the Moon?”

“It’s where I bite you and insert my blood into you. The transformation is 3 days and 3 nights. On the 4th day, you will awaken as a Living Vampony. Like me, you will be able to walk in the sunlight. However, you will be half dead, like me. Your heart will stop beating during the transformation, making you appear as dead. Don’t worry, I’ll know so I won’t panic.”

Rainbow said “As long as I stayed with you forever, I’ll love to become something like you.”

I nodded and smiled. I took her to my bedroom and I bit into her neck, giving my blood into her. Rainbow cringe in pain at first but soon pleasure replaced it and she moaned out in pleasure. She began to grow drowsy and eventually fell asleep. I laid her on my bed, cover her body from bottom to her neck, exposing her head. I closed her eyes and kissed her forehead.

“See you on the 4th day, my one true love.”

I closed the door and locked it with my password.

Meanwhile in Equestria…

Dusk was using her mind powers to control Twilight mentally. While Twilight’s eyes were normal, they would rarely flash cyan. Twilight came to Charming’s side and nuzzles him.

Twilight asked “Charming, why do you care for Rainbow Dash and Danny? They probably love each other, remember back then before the Equestria Wars? Danny and Rainbow would spend a lot of time with each other.”

Charming replied “Oh yes, I remember back then. Me and Danny would spend some time together, we got along great but him and Rainbow spend most of the time together.”

Twilight said “They love each other; we knew Rainbow always cared for Danny. I remember as if it were yesterday when Rainbow asked if Danny was in the rebel camp and she left to cry when you told her that he went into hiding…”

Charming said “Yes…”

Twilight asked “Why chase them then? Let them be alone.”

Charming didn’t reply; he began to think about it.

The next day…

The blockade was set to wait for any enemy fleets approaching the border. I looked into Cybertron’s Decepticon ranks and discovered of a warrior I could use. So, I ordered Gilda to ready scraps of several vehicles. When I arrived to the hanger where Gilda and Dusk were waiting for me, I see 5 separate piles of destroyed vehicles. I smirked as I knew my next 5 creations will be known as the Decepticon Combat Team, The Combaticons. My medallion began to glow and I used Unicron’s power and began to create the 5 Combaticons: Onslaught, Brawl, Swindle, Vortex, and Blast Off, their vehicle modes were still the same back in the transformers. They would just be loyal to me, that’s all. And the best of all, they can transform into the giant I needed, Bruticus. When I finished creating them, the 5 transformed into their Pony Forms that I design them to take. Onslaught took the form of an Earth Pony, he had a Green Coat, Blue mane and Tail. His eyes were yellow and his CM was the Decepticon Symbol. Brawl was a green Earth Pony, light green mane and tail, his eyes were yellow as well. Brawl’s CM was the Decepticon Symbol. Swindle was a yellow Earth Pony, purple mane and tail, and his eyes were purple. His CM was the Decepticon Symbol. Vortex was a red Pegasus with yellow mane and tail. His eye color was yellow and his CM was the Decepticon Symbol. Blast Off was a dark grey Pegasus with brown mane and tail. His eye color was yellow and his CM was the Decepticon Symbol. The 5 came up to us and saluted.

Combaticons said in unison “All hail Lord Danny!”

“Welcome to the ranks of the Phantom Consortium, Combaticons. Now to put your abilities to the test…”

Dusk said “I know a way to test them.”

“How?”

Dusk answered “Charming is hosting a Pod Racing Event.”

“It’s a trap, which I know of. Probably to attract Rainbow to him.”

Dusk said “How about I attend? I’m a half breed Changeling/Pony. I could shift to my mother’s look and pose as her and when the trap is springe, you and the Combaticons can come to my rescue.”

“Perfect. However, he will notice something different.”

Dusk said “Rainbow and I have raced in pod racing before. She commented that I was like her in every way. Trust me, Charming won’t know the difference until it is too late.”

“Alright. Let’s do this.”

Dusk asked “What about Rainbow?”

“She will be told and she will understand.”

Dusk said with excitement “Let’s do this!”

“Charming will know that he actions to lure Rainbow to him will be much harder than he had predicted…Combaticons, we are to wear black cloaks and remember: Silence is the key and keep your Cutie Marks hidden.”

Onslaught shouted “Let’s get moving!”

I nodded and began to head to a transport.

Author's Note

Next chapter, inspired by Sonicdash123, will be the Pod Racing event and the introducing of the Combaticons in Equestria War IX.

Pod Racing and Bruticus

Later…

We arrived to Appleloosa where the event was going to be held. Dusk had change her form to Rainbow to prevent anyone from suspecting it was Dusk herself. We split up but we all had an ear communicator to report to each other of what was happening if something went wrong. The event was almost ready to begin after some planning from the Equestrian Empire. I looked at the main stadium where royalty was at and see Charming Thunder, Princess Twilight, and the other Mane 5. Princesses Celestia and Luna were there as well. I smiled evilly and my medallion purred with pleasure of what is going to happen. I looked and see Charming’s medallion glow as well and Charming began to look around, already becoming aware that I was here. He leaned back and began to whisper something to the Princesses but thanks to Dusk’s mental connection to Twilight, I could hear whispering chat.

Charming whispered to the others “Danny’s here…”

Luna asked “Are you certain?”

Charming replied “Primus has told me that he has sense Unicron’s presence. I don’t doubt him at all.”

Celestia said “We knew Rainbow was going to be here. But Danny…this changes everything.”

Charming said “Don’t worry, we can handle him. This entire place is rigged with my men. They will strike when the signal are ready.”

Twilight said, hopefully “Hopefully Rainbow and Danny will cooperate peacefully…”

‘I highly doubt it.’ I thought darkly.

I sat on the stadium and the combaticons were spread all across the stadium. I began to look as a pod racer came onto the field. It was a hooded figure, Dusk all right. She had a pair of goggles on her face while she kept the hood on her. She sat on the pod and the race ready to go. The light hit green and the racers took off at once. The commentary was being talked out but I ignored it. I decided to be daring and teleported behind the royal section. I came inside after using Force Mind Trick to allow them to let me pass. I sat to the empty seat on Charming’s right and sat in it.

“Hello brother.” I whisper in his ear.

Charming nearly jumped in shock and the princesses looked and see me with the hood. I took it off and smiled darkly as I looked at him.

“Thank you for inviting me and Rainbow to this event. I put my bets on Rainbow, who are you betting?”

Charming stayed quiet and I chuckle.

“Come now, there is no need to be like that. Come now and enjoy the show while it lasts.”

Charming began to think for a bit before…

Charming replied “…my bet is on Spitfire.”

“That’s the spirit! Now…Spitfire you say? I see this is going to be amusing.”

Luna asked “Why did you come here Danny? Surely you are not that-“

“Mother…don’t finish that sentence.” I said offended. “As for why I am here, I wanted to watch Rainbow race and springe that little trap you have set up. Also to give a warning: I didn’t come here without company. My soldiers are in position and awaiting my orders to move.”

Charming asked “Why come here then?”

“I know you are not stupid to fight me again after what happened back at the castle. Also, I didn’t betray you Charming. YOU betrayed ME.”

Charming was confused on the turn and asked “What?”

“If I recall, we made a deal in our alliance. The deal was that Lightning would be handed to me for punishment. But I was angry when she imprisoned my mother, my aunts, and my own brother. Even you should see that I was angry.”

I mentally smiled when Charming began to think about it.

“Picture it Charming if you were in my hooves. You just see your mother, your two aunts, and your twin brother in a cage where they are helpless and the one who trapped you in there was the ever same person who was to be punished by you. What would you do?” I explained to him, simply.

Charming said “I would have…..”

“Done the same thing I would have and I would have done the same thing you did to me.” I said.

Charming was beginning to understand why I did what I did earlier. It wasn’t betrayal that guided me to attack him. It was whole anger towards Lightning.

“I have you to thank though. You managed to cool me down enough to spare Lightning’s life. Lightning is in your debt but she is suffering torture for her crimes. Hey, at least it’s better than death. Am I right?”

After the pod race, which Dusk won by a mere slither of metal. Spitfire was in 2nd place and Soarin was 3rd.

“How many bits is that?” I asked with a smirk.

Charming groaned and handed 50 bits to me. I smiled and bowed, then teleported away. Charming, Mane 5, and the Princesses teleported down to congratulate Dusk, who was still disguised as Rainbow. ‘Rainbow’ kneeled to Charming.

Charming said “Congratulations Pod Racer. For your reward, you are to be rewarded with 1000 bits.”

‘Rainbow’ shook hooves with Charming and the Prize was waiting. I smiled as I created 2 clones of myself and they turned invisible and went to the treasure to claim our reward. ‘Rainbow’ returned to her kneeling position as I see some soldiers getting ready to move.

Charming: “You are the winner. Or should I say…” He pulled out his lightsaber and cut the cloak off, exposing ‘Rainbow’ “…the loser.”

The Guards aimed their blasters at ‘Rainbow’, who smirked.

Charming asked “Why the smirk, Rainbow?”

‘Rainbow’ replied darkly “Oh, it’s nothing Charming. It’s just that, oh I don’t know, YOU are a fool to think the REAL Rainbow would fall to this trap!”

Charming was about to question until ‘Rainbow’ was covered with Cyan Flames and when the flames disappeared, Dusk was there in her place. There were gasps and I teleported to Dusk’s side.

“I sometimes wonder why you were a war hero if you couldn’t see through my plan…”

Charming shouted “You are surrounded Danny and Dusk!”

“Time to play my card. COMBATICONS!!!” I shouted.

Onslaught, Brawl, Swindle, Vortex, and Blast Off jumped from the stadium without their cloaks.

Charming asked, confused to who they were “Who are they?”

Twilight noticed something, and then gasped, and she said “Charming, look at their Cutie Marks!”

Charming looked at the five cutie marks and see they were the exactly the same Decepticon Symbol on their flank. Charming gasped in shock.

“Meet the Combaticons, Charming. One of my newest creations.”

Onslaught ordered “Combaticons, transform and form Bruticus!”

The 5 jumped into the air and changed into their robot forms. Swindle transformed into the right leg, Brawl transformed into the left leg. Onslaught transformed into the body and formed the head. Blast Off transformed into the right arm. Vortex followed from behind Bruticus and transformed into the left arm and attached to Bruticus. It was a metal giant now.

Bruticus said “Bruticus online! Ready for action!”

“Last chance to surrender and we leave peacefully.”

The Princesses and Mane 5 looked at Charming. He groan and thought it over. Finally, after five long minutes, he raised his hoof and ordered to stand down. I smiled and both me and Dusk teleported away while Bruticus separates and the five Combaticons returned to the ship, not being followed. The shuttle left in a hurry with the prize money on it.

“Too bad they weren’t given a proper test.” I said.

Dusk replied “Indeed. At least we got away free!”

I nodded and we left to go back to Griffin Territory.

Author's Note

Here is what happened at the pod race on Danny's Point of View. Now it is up to Charming to do something next.

The New Rainbow Dash

I was smiling to myself. My spies had reported that Charming is massing a massive invasion force. The Equestrian Empire and Chrysalis’s Changeling Swarm vs. The Phantom Consortium and its allies. The invasion force would attack in two days after some scouting out the blockade. Gilda had put the forces to high alert and I knew this was going to be a desperate assault. He is risking everything for this assault, which I knew for sure. And sure enough, he was enough time for Rainbow to finish her transformation. Gilda had went to the blockade with her Capital Ship, The Invisible Talon. I had to make war preparations so to start out; I had Dusk and Meta organize the defenses and I already made plans for our final battle. I began to oversee the plan for the Blockade. There was a massive fleet with mostly Capital Ships orbiting the defensive wall on the ground. The wall was big itself and very wide. The Wall was defending with shield generators to prevent bombardments from ships or bombers. In the outer defense was an entire army of troopers; Ponies, Griffins, Changelings, and Droids. There were some Mobile Defense Units with some offensive artillery on them. The Assault Tanks were in front as well to provide some fire support. To add the extra surprise was a few impeding assault tanks. Among the wall, there was some Missile Attack Launcher to provide some artillery support to the ground. Behind the wall was an army of troopers, some Plasma Tanks, and some AT-APs, and some new prototypes that I created to copy the AT-ST, the AT-KT. Also, I position some Proton Cannons. The Proton Cannons were Anti-Air Artillery, using to destroy ships. I position those new Umbaran Starfighters among the hangers for use. But enough of that, it was almost time for the final day to end. I went into my training chamber and began to mediate.

I was mediating calmly for a bit but then I felt some cold leaving my mouth and I opened my eyes.

“Hello father…”

Sombra’s ghost appeared in front of me.

Sombra said “Danny, what have you done?”

“What’ve I done? Charming was the one who misunderstood me.”

Sombra replied “Danny, Charming was defending Lightning Dust. You tried to kill her…”

“He killed you, didn’t he?”

Sombra said “No. I died after I requested Charming removed my crown.”

“What?” I asked.

Sombra explained “I died because I told him to remove my crown. I died naturally.”

I looked away. Why didn’t Charming tell me? My eyes began to glow purple.

“Leave.”

Sombra said “But son-“

Using my ghost powers, I pushed Sombra away and he returned back to the spirit world.

“I’m sorry…father.”

I closed my eyes and tears began to appear. I let a few drop but then I rid the rest of them.

“Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall free me.” I chanted, remembering from that time that I learned about the chanting.

I activated my lightsabers and got into a fighting position.

“Computer, activate simulation challenge 32.” I ordered.

The Sith Training Droids activated and the world around me turned to a volcano. Most of the Droids changed their appearance to Soldiers of the Equestrian Empire. Their leader was none other than Charming Thunder himself.

‘Charming’ ordered “Kill him!”

The fake soldiers began to fire their blasters and I blocked their attack. I killed them off very fast and finally, there was only ‘Charming’.

‘Charming’ chanted the Jedi Code “There is no emotion, there is peace. There is no ignorance, there is knowledge. There is no passion, there is serenity. There is no chaos, there is harmony. There is no death, there is the Force.”

“You Jedi are all alike.”

I clashed blades with ‘Charming’ and I slashed at him. He was pushed back and I slash his waist off. The simulation challenge ended and I left to go to bed.

I woke up, realizing today was the day that Rainbow will be reborn. I went to see what the status of the blockade was.

Gilda reported “We have received no enemy contact yet, but we have confirmed that there is enemy activity nearby.”

“Keep that blockade up, don’t let them in.”

Gilda shouted “Yes, milord!”

I ended transmission and went to prepare for her awakening. I came back five hours later, about five minutes before she began her transformation. I had to get us some Vampire Wine and some glasses of blood. Bat Ponies didn’t need to drink blood 24/7. Only for about once a month. I waited next to Rainbow’s body and then, when five minutes passed, Rainbow’s body began to glow and when the black cloud cleared, she was on the bed with her body changed. She opened her eyes, revealing blood red eyes. Some red steam left her eyes but that was normal and only lasts for 5 minutes. She smiled sexy-like at the sight of my face.

“Welcome back from the land of the dead, my beautiful flower.” I said charmingly.

Rainbow replied sexy-like “It’s good to be back, my handsome stallion. How long has it been?”

“Four days, my love.”

Rainbow replied lovely “Way too long.”

She kissed me with a passionate kiss. I gladly kissed back and she got up and sees the cups of blood. Her appearance was different, the Cyan coat, blood red eyes, rainbow mane and tail, and she had bat-like wings now.

“As the start of your new life, blood is needed for you. You must drink once a month, that’s all.”

Rainbow said “That’s good. What’s that bottle?”

“Vampire Brandy.”

Rainbow replied “Isn’t brandy…”

“Actually, Vampire Brandy isn’t alcoholic. It actually causes pure Vampire Fruit. It causes similar drug effects to mortals, or normal ponies, but it’s much longer for Vamponies to get drunk.” I explained

Rainbow said “Oh…alright.”

I hand over the cups of blood. We drank it and we began to drink the Brandy until we got good and drunk and started to have some ‘fun’.

Dusk was mediating until something snapped in her mind. She lost connection to Twilight. At least she heard the name “Omega Supreme”. She knew that Charming had found out and she smiled.

Dusk thought 'Now he’s starting to learn. And before he blocked the connection, he saw when I did it to her. Time to use my other agents. I’ll use them against Charming. Let’s see if he can hold his own against their deepest heart desires.'

She began to focus on other 4 ‘agents’.

The Mane 5 (Not Twilight) were minding their own business until their eyes flashed Cyan for a second and back to normal. They all began to focus on 1 single being…Charming Thunder. They were thinking naughty thoughts and all began to group up and head to Charming Thunder.

Author's Note

Looks like Charming Thunder is going to have a big problem. With the other Mane 5 after him, how will Charming fight his friends? The next one will be all about how Dusk met the other Mane 5. Be alerted that there will be tiny sex contact like masturbating and moaning.

Dusk’s Ponyville Tale

[Flashback]

Dusk was walking into Ponyville, disguised as her Equestrian Form: Nova. Dusk was walking to Carousel Boutique to pay Rarity a visit. She knocked on the door.

Rarity shouted “I’m coming!”

A few minutes later, Rarity opened the door and greeted Dusk.

Rarity said “Oh, hello dear. What brings you here to my shop?”

Dusk replied “I was hoping you can help me on a little something. Can I come in?”

Rarity said “Oh, sure.”

Dusk walk into the shop. Dusk closed the door and she managed to go upstairs.

Rarity demanded “Hey, where are you going!?”

Dusk made it to Rarity’s bedroom and Rarity managed to get inside her bedroom.

Rarity shouted “You are not allowed up here!”

Dusk used her magic to seal the door, make the room soundproof, and locked all access points. Dusk smirks as she revealed her true form. Rarity gasped and began to back away.

Dusk said “Come here, you are my 2nd target.”

Before Rarity could scream, Dusk’s horn began to glow Cyan as she began to access Rarity’s mind.

Dusk said “You have feelings for Charming…you were jealous when Twilight won his heart. Don’t worry, I can make that fade away…for a price.”

Rarity said “I’ll do anything to get the chance to lay with Charming! Name it and it will be yours!”

Dusk answered “You allow me to get your DNA and you will be laid.”

Rarity nodded furiously and Dusk smirked. She changed to Charming Thunder and the two locked into the kiss, Rarity losing herself to this. Rarity’s eyes changed to Cyan and back to normal as the two began to have ‘fun’.

Later…

Dusk was excited, she had gotten the DNA of Rarity. Next on her list was Applejack. She knew Applejack was a hard worker and hardly even leaves from her work. As Dusk, now in disguise of Nova, was approaching Sweet Apple Acres, she felt a tingling feeling down her spine. She snuck to the shadows and sees something she would never believe. Deep in the acres, away from prying eyes, Applejack was masturbating. Dusk smirked, already finding Applejack to be an easy target. Dusk also hinting the way Applejack was moaning out Charming’s name.

Dusk asked “What do we have here?”

Applejack’s eyes narrowed at her voice and instantly stop. Dusk came out of hiding, clearly amused about what had just happened.

Applejack asked “Who…are ya’?”

Dusk answered “I am nothing but a friend.”

Dusk used her magic to create an invisible dome around them, making it impossible to be seen together. She made the dome to be invisible to her eyes and camouflage to make things normal around them. Dusk also made the dome soundproof to prevent anyone from hearing the moaning. Dusk revealed her true form, making Applejack gasp in shock and get into a fighting position.

Dusk said “Don’t worry, I’m here to fulfill your sexual desires…with a price.”

Applejack asked “Now why would y’all want to help me?”

Dusk replied evenly “I know you crave Charming Thunder’s love. I am a Primal Changeling, only currently one of a kind. I can use Love Magic to see into the hearts and minds of other Ponies or such creatures. I know you love Charming and you were jealous that Twilight had him.”

Dusk’s horn glowed cyan as Applejack’s eyes turned cyan and back to normal.

Applejack asked “You…can help me?”

Dusk replied “If you allow it.”

Dusk smirked and changed to Charming Thunder. Applejack lies down and spread her legs to Dusk. She gladly took it and began their fun.

The next day…

Dusk was smiling, already marking 3 of 5 targets out of the list. The next one was poor, helpless, shy Fluttershy. She knew Fluttershy would have feelings towards Charming, since Fluttershy and Charming got to know each other very well. Dusk, now disguised as Nova, knocked on Fluttershy’s door. Fluttershy opened the door and ‘eeped’ before closing it. Dusk rolled her eyes and went inside the house. She closed it, used the basic sealing access point spell and making the entire house soundproof. When she finished, she was kicked in the foreleg. She looked down and sees a white bunny kicking her. Dusk mused about the rabbit, and then decided to clone him as well. Dusk spit at the rabbit, cocooning the rabbit in cyan slime.

Dusk said “I’ll come back for you later. But first…”

Dusk revealed her true form and went up to Fluttershy’s bedroom to see her quivering under her blanket. Dusk removed the blanket and Fluttershy looked like she was about to faint but Dusk acted quickly and used her love magic. This halted Fluttershy to a stop on fainting.

Dusk said “I know you have feelings towards Charming Thunder. I can make that happen…for a price.”

Fluttershy nodded shyly and Dusk transformed into Charming. Dusk pulled Fluttershy in for a kiss and then they started to have ‘fun’.

Later…

Dusk had to admit, Fluttershy was much better than she led herself to believe. Angel was after Fluttershy and she managed to get Angel’s DNA with no problems. Finally, last on the list was Pinkie. Because Pinkie Pie was so random, she didn’t know how to get Pinkie’s DNA. She walked right into Sugercube Corner and looked around. It was full of sweets, lots of ponies, and even some more things. Dusk immediately took noticed that Pinkie wasn’t around, which was odd. Pinkie was the normal social type of pony, not the one to hide. Dusk walked up to Mrs. Cake.

Dusk asked “Mrs. Cake, where is Pinkie Pie?”

Mrs. Cake replied “She’s upstairs. She wants some privacy.”

Dusk asked “Can I see her?”

Mrs. Cake said “I can’t let you.”

Dusk nodded and left. She changed her appearance to Twilight Sparkle and went over to Mrs. Cake to talk again.

Dusk asked “Mrs. Cake, where is Pinkie Pie? I was hoping she could help me with something.”

Mrs. Cake replied “She’s in her bedroom but she is busy at the moment.”

Dusk nodded and left immediately. As soon as she was in an alleyway, she changed to Mr. Cake. Dusk went back inside and walk past Mrs. Cake and heads upstairs. When she did, she began to hear moaning in Pinkie’s bedroom. She looked through a keyhole and spots Pinkie was holding a Sex toy and was using it on herself. Dusk knocked on the door and Pinkie acted quickly and put away the toys.

Pinkie said in a sing-like tone “Come in~”

Dusk walks into the room.

Pinkie greeted “Oh, hey Mr. Cake!”

Dusk closes the door, uses her magic to make the room soundproof, and revealed her true form. Dusk expected Pinkie to panic but instead, Pinkie cheered out in happiness.

Pinkie shouted with joy “A changeling! Yay!!”

Dusk asked, confused “You aren’t scared?”

Pinkie replied “No!”

Dusk smiled and changes to Charming. Her horn glowed and Pinkie’s eyes changed to Cyan and back. They locked into a kiss and began to have ‘fun’.

[Flashback ended…]

Dusk said to herself “Such good memories…”

Dusk looked into the minds of the girls and see from their eye sight that they kidnapped Charming.

Dusk said “Guess they are about to let their desires come free. Now to regain control over Twilight…”

Author's Note

This is the story how Dusk met the other Mane 5. Next Chapter will be based on the present.

Tying up Loose Ends

The next day…

I sat on my throne. When Dusk told me about the name “Omega Supreme”, I was furious. However, the train of thoughts was short lived when a group of Commando Droids walked in with a Griffin.

Commando Droid reported “Emperor Danny, this scum was spying and reporting to somepony. What shall we do to him?”

“Interrogate him for information. Torture him until he spills his confession.” I ordered

Commando Droid replied “Yes, milord.”

Griffin Spy shouted “You aren’t a real emperor! You are a tyrant!”

I held up my hoof and walked over to the Griffin.

“A tyrant, you say?”

Griffin Spy shouted “Yes!”

“Then tell me…I gave everypony equal rights, homes, food, etc. and you call that tyranny?”

The Griffin began to think about it. Sure enough, other griffins enjoy the new reign because it was unjust when King Talon was in control.

“Why fight somepony who had finally brought peace to this empire?”

That was an excellent question for the griffin. After a few minutes, the Griffin sigh and gave up.

Griffin replied “Listen, I am under threat to support the Equestrian Empire…”

“Who is doing this to you?”

Griffin answered “The King of a mysterious Griffin Rebellion. It’s a small kingdom, nothing compared to yours. However, the kingdom has been feeding the Equestrian Empire about your whereabouts. I’ve been doing this to keep my family alive.”

“And you will have that family well fed and everything. Just tell me, where the scum who dare calls himself ‘King’?”

The Griffin Spy was shown a map and he pointed to an area a bit close to the blockade. Made perfect sense, the blockade would be unaware about mysterious ships arriving.

“Take our friend here for some good treats and cancel any torture. Ready the newest dropship. Me and the Combaticons are about to kill off the rebels.”

The Commando saluted and did those orders.

Rainbow said “I’m going with you.”

“Are you sure?”

Rainbow replied “Yes.”

“Then you are welcome aboard.”

I kissed Rainbow and we began to make our way to the new dropship.

Later…

The dropship was arriving to the Rebel Griffin Kingdom. It opened the front hatch and the team jumped out, landing on a platform.

“Time to make this scum suffer for betrayal.”

I began to approach the door. The guards notice me and they were about to attack until I used Force Corruption.

“Take me to your king.”

1 of the Guards replied “Yes, Emperor Danny.”

They began to walk me, Rainbow Dash, and the Combaticons in.

Inside the Griffin Throne Room…

The Griffin King and the Princesses were talking on transmission.

Celestia replied “You need to locate him, where are his exact whereabouts!”

Griffin King replied in despair “I have limited resources. Most of the Griffin Empire is on his side, we can’t raise any signs about the alliance here. I don’t know where he could be, he could be-“

Before the King could continue, the door opens and a lightsaber was thrown. It hit the king right in the heart, making him gasp out for breathe but eventually died. The Combaticons and the Corrupted Griffin Guard killed the rest of the Loyalists. Rainbow came in with a smoking blaster. I stepped into transmission range to recover his lightsaber.

“Working with rebels, hey Aunty?”

Celestia said “Danny…”

“You know, I’m good at hunting down loose ends. Speaking of loose ends; how is Twilight?”

Luna shouted back “Why would you care!?”

“Because, she is my sister or sister-in-law. You know, I never knew Dusk had control over her…”

The Princesses remained quiet and I knew something was up.

“Charming went to Ponyville and gone missing, hasn’t he?”

Luna answered “…Yes.”

“Well, that is something, isn’t it? Inform me when he is found. I’m sure he’ll come out sooner or later…”

I ended the transmission and left the place.

Meanwhile with Dusk, an hour before Danny attack the kingdom of the rebelling griffins…

Dusk had made it her way back to Equestria in a disguised as a Noble. Dusk managed to sneak into Canterlot. She smiled to herself, she was informed from her spies that Twilight was going to Canterlot while an imposter Twilight would take her place at the castle. So, Dusk had ordered the termination of that Sith Training Droid by sending a reprogrammed droid name Proxy to kill that droid. Proxy was one of the many droids left behind by the Rebellion by accident. Danny salvaged Proxy and rebuilt him and reprogrammed him. Proxy was to go to terminate the droid imposter. Dusk managed to arrive on schedule and made a look around and she spotted Twilight approaching the Castle. Dusk walked over to Twilight and accidently pumped into her.

Dusk said in a rather convincing tone “Oh, I’m sorry! I’m terribly sorry, Princess Twilight!”

Dusk secretly casted her spell on Twilight, causing Dusk to reconnect to Twilight. Twilight never noticed the horn lighting up faintly. Twilight’s eyes flashed cyan briefly and back to normal.

Twilight replied “It’s ok. It was all an accident, no need to be so sorry.”

Dusk asked “Are you sure, Princess Twilight? Is there something I can do to repay you for this accident?”

Twilight said “No, it’s ok. You can go.”

Dusk nodded and began to walk away. She smiled evilly as she walked away, her plan had worked and Twilight won’t know or remember it.

Proxy, disguised as Flash Sentry, approached to the gate and the guards let him in. Proxy’s was to make it look like Dusk came in to get Twilight but instead it was to prove that it wasn’t Dusk. Proxy walked into the castle and managed to see ‘Twilight’.

Proxy said “Hello Princess Twilight.”

‘Twilight’ asked “Hello Flash Sentry. Tell me, how did we first meet?”

Proxy said “Uh….”

‘Twilight’ signals the guards and they came out with their spears. The fake Twilight changed to a Sith Training Droid.

Droid said “Surrender Dusk, you lost.”

Proxy replied “I’m not Dusk.”

Proxy transformed into his true form. The Guards were surprise to see another droid of a different model.

Proxy answered “My name is PROXY. I am a hologram Droid, my creator was Darth Vader himself and I was originally program to kill Starkiller but I was later reprogrammed after being salvaged from Danny Eclipse. Now, I serve as Danny’s Ultimate Spy. And you, droid, are a loose end to my master; therefore you must be terminated.”

Droid asked “How did-“

Proxy replied “Dusk was already aware that Twilight was heading to Canterlot. Mistress Dusk decided to send me to terminate you and show you that the Phantom Consortium are not fools. Besides, Mistress Dusk has no more uses for Twilight. Her usefulness came to an end a while ago, why retake her? Dusk means no disrespect to Princess Twilight, though.”

Proxy immediately changed his appearance to Anakin Skywalker and he charged forward. The Droid changed to Princess Celestia and pulled out a lightsaber and blocked the attack. They clashed lightsabers and Proxy managed to jump back. The guards acted quickly and fired their blasters. Proxy changed to Darth Vader and blocked all the attacks. Proxy attacked the guards and managed to knock them out. Proxy looked at the droid.

Proxy said “I was given information of both Jedi and Sith Warriors. I have all of their skills with a lightsaber. You cannot stop me.”

Droid replied “Let’s see if you can stop me then.”

The droid changed to Princess Luna and was holding a blue lightsaber. He charged at Proxy. Proxy changed to Obi-Wan Kenobi and blocked the attack. Proxy blocked and push back on the Droid and slash him in half. When he finished, Proxy changed to Maris Brood and disappeared in the shadows.

Author's Note

Well, now the loose ends are finished. What will happen now?

Diplomacy over Violence

I sat on my throne. Recently, I sensed that the Mane 4 had been disconnected, but we now had Twilight and they didn’t know it. I began to think that it was time that I handed myself over for my crimes. But truth must be told and they would understand. I had prepared my ship, The Ebon Hawk, for departure. Rainbow, Cynder, T3-M4, and HK-47 had decided to come with me. The ship took off, heading to Canterlot.

The ship was approaching Canterlot, I was piloting the ship with Rainbow.

Rainbow asked “Are you sure about this, my love?”

“I do not know. I just hope that Charming will see that I mean no harm to him or anypony. All I want is true peace between our mighty empires.”

Rainbow asked “And if he doesn’t believe you…?”

“Then I shall accept any punishment he will bring upon me…”

Rainbow said “Unless he sentences you to Tarturas or Prison, I cannot live without you.”

I smiled and we began to receive a transmission.

Admiral said on transmission “Attention unidentified vessel, state your business.”

“My name is Danny Eclipse, I’m here to submit myself.”

There was a long pause then…

Admiral said “King Charming will be awaiting you in the throne room. Shining Armor and his squad will escort you to him.”

“Agreed.”

I landed the ship. The landing platform lowered and I walked down with Cynder and Rainbow. Shining Armor and an entire squad of soldiers came up to me.

“Are you going to cuff me?”

Shining said “I would…”

He looks at Rainbow then Cynder.

Shining continued “…but I rather not get these two mad.”

He began to escort me to the castle.

The Castle doors opened. Me and the girls walked in first, followed by Shining Armor. We see the Princesses, Charming Thunder, and the Mane 5. The expressions were shock and surprise. Their reason were to see me handing myself over willingly and probably seeing Rainbow a new mare.

“So…after so much misunderstanding, we are all here.”

Celestia said coldy “You have much to pay for Danny.”

“I know…and I will accept any punishment that I will receive.”

Luna asked, curiously “Why the change of heart?”

“I wanted to confront you all.”

Charming asked “Why?”

“To tell you of what I’ve done during my time of hiding. I did many things, all for the greater good.”

Cadance asked “You call murdering a king ‘greater good’?”

“I lead a rebellion. I protected lives! I saved Equestria countless times!”

Charming shouted “I PROTECTED EQUESTRIA!! NOT YOU!!”

Cynder asked, serious “Really? Did you stop King Talon from launching a massive invasion against Equestria? Did you save Equestrian Colonies from Griffin control? Did YOU liberate slaved ponies from labor forever!?”

That silenced Charming and the others.

Cynder said “Charming was defending Equestria from the INSIDE! But it was Danny who protected Equestria from the OUTSIDE! King Talon and the False NLR were gathering power to launch invasions against Equestria! If it wasn’t for Danny, Equestria would have been lost long ago! King Talon was the one who made the plans for creating the Eclipse! You’ve seen the firepower for what that thing has; you wouldn’t be able to stop it! But you were all lucky when Danny intercepted those plans and used it for Equestria’s greater good! Danny brought peace, safety, security, and serenity to the Griffin Empire! Griffins are happy under his rule! King Talon ruled under an iron fist! Ponies were enslaved, tortured, murdered under Talon’s rule! But Danny did something that would have made you all proud! He united Griffins and Ponies together, making some even greater! The Minotaur Government had already made plans to invade Equestria until rebellion sparked there. Danny supported the rebellion but never actually got involved! Then the Zebras, whose technology was far more advanced than the Equestrian Empire, were stopped in their tracks! You own Danny your lives, freedom, and liberty!”

There was silence. Truth must be told, no pony in Equestria had never heard anything from outside Equestria’s borders, except for the Bad Lands.

Charming asked “How do we know you aren’t lying?”

“Answer me this then, have you even talked to Griffin Officials yet?”

Again, silence. I mentally smiled; they never bothered the Griffins so it was a no.

“Talk to several Griffin Councilmen then, they will agree with me.”

They looked at each other. They all nodded and Charming looked at them.

Charming said “We shall talk to them. Guards, take the three to Danny’s chambers.”

The guards saluted and did so. I left and heard some talking as we left.

The Griffin Counsel was talking to Charming and the Princesses on transmission.

Gilda said “My name is Gilda, Griffin Empire Senator. What would you like to talk about King Charming?”

Charming asked “Is it true that Danny brought peace and all of that during his reign?”

Gilda answered “He has done more than that. He has brought us unity. He has created an empire that was been in chaos for many generations. My father, King Talon, was a tyrant and a murderer! He brought nothing but despair, lies, death, even stealing from the poor! He cared for nothing but he own wellbeing! But then…Danny came.”

Luna asked, curious to hear her tale “What did my son do?”

Gilda explained “At first, I thought he was terrorizing the Empire. But then, we examine the colonies more and discovered that he wasn’t terrorizing the colonies, he was liberating them! He cared for the ponies greatly. And from what I had discovered, he pained for killing other innocents. He killed only armed men and women and never harmed any unarmed civilians.”

Charming asked “Even if they were-“

Gilda answered “Even if they were the enemy. He always wanted peace, unity, and many other things. I was surprise to see such things from a stallion. So, I decided to meet him in person. I propose to him to reveal my father’s true colors and he would take control over the empire while I would be his senator. The plan worked and he travelled to the Capital to wage the final battle. Meta led the Changeling Swarm, I led the Griffin Uprising, and both Danny and Dusk led the Pony forces against them. Lightning provided air support and fought with him. Danny killed my father with Dusk and another pony…he wouldn’t say who, though. But during the dead of my father, he gained the Medallion of Unicron. He united all of Griffin Kind with Ponies and made reforms that made the government happy. The civilians of the Griffin Empire pledge their alliance to him and he led a mighty and peaceful reign. He was the perfect ruler for us and the council agrees with him everything he did well. He never used his power for self-desires. He used it to protect the people he ruled over. If Danny was ever in the line of trouble, the empire would back him up for everything he did for us.”

The Princesses and Charming were shocked, surprised, and (in Luna and Charming’s case) proud for Danny’s action. Charming was smiling and inside, he was proud of his brother for leading such a great empire. The medallion was glowing, deep inside the medallion, Primus was happy to know that Danny never misused Unicron’s dark power, but rather use it to help others. Primus was also happy to know that Danny, no matter what Unicron had ever done to him, never fell to the level of evil.

The next day…

I was standing in front of court. I was cuffed and chained with my lightsabers taken away. Rainbow and Cynder watched what was going to happen.

Charming said “Danny Eclipse, Son of Princess Luna and King Sombra, and my twin brother. You have been brought before the court for attacking me, the new King of Harmony. How do you plead?”

“Innocent.” I said simply.

Charming asked “Why do you plead innocent?”

“Lightning was a traitor and had put the Princesses and you into prison cells. She desire for personal power and attention and would sell out anypony for her desires for self-attention. Imagining yourself as me. Your aunts and brother were inside a cage, helpless to be unable to use magic. And you see the one who backstab you, laughing at his/her victory. Wouldn’t you be angry yourself, fueled with rage for enslaving your family? Wouldn’t you want to hurt or avenge for the lives that traitor you once called ‘comrade’ for hurting your or somepony else's love ones?” I asked everyone in the room.

The counsel whispered to themselves, considering the statement.

“That’s all I have to say…” I said.

The counsel began to discuss the statement and began to vote. When they finished, they handed their votes to Charming, who took them and began to read it.

Charming said “Danny Eclipse, you have been found…”

Author's Note

Sonicdash123 will determine Danny's fate. But to my personal opinion, Danny should be Innocent since he has done such great deeds to defend Equestria.

The Treaty of Unity: The New Beginning

Charming said “…Not guilty. Your actions at the griffin kingdom were to defend Equestria from an upcoming attack from King Talon. I have been told from Gilda that he has saved Equestria countless times during the Lunar Wars."

"Can you ever forgive me, brother?" I asked

Charming replied "Apology accepted, brother. This court is now adjured."

He banged the hammer as Rainbow and Cynder cheered for me. They came over to me and Rainbow hugged me. The others came up to me and they hugged me in joy. When we finished, I was shedding some tears.

“Before we do anything else, I must correct everything I did wrong. Starting with my mother…”

Luna asked “What?”

My eyes turned purple and my medallion began to glow. I put my hoof on her chest and it began to glow. I slowly pulled back my hoof, a purple bubble left her chest. When it was finished, it went back inside my medallion and a few seconds later, Luna gasped.

Luna shouted “I remember now! I saved you from that machine that Talon used on you that almost killed you!”

“I blocked your memories to secure my secret. I wanted to come into the public when I was ready. Can you forgive me for doing that to you, mother?”

Luna nodded and hugged me. When she finished, I turned to Twilight.

“Twilight, you are next.” I said.

Twilight asked “What’s wrong with me?”

“Dusk managed to reconnect to you during your time in Canterlot. I can permanently sever the connection and restore any lost memories she did on you…on all of you.”

My eyes began to glow green and the Mane 5 began to glow green. After a few seconds, they all gasped and blushed. Charming guessed they remember when Dusk was with them.

“Dusk is my creation. She was created to be a changeling half-breed. She has my and Rainbow’s DNA in her, making her mine and Rainbow’s daughter. That’s why she refers to me as ‘father’ and Rainbow as ‘mother’. There were other DNA within her but wasn’t enough to change her. It just helped her a lot. She had the tiny fragments of DNA from Chrysalis [For Changeling knowledge and Queen], Twilight Sparkle [For Intelligence and the eager for learning], Applejack [Physical Strength], and Cadance [For more direct control over her Love Magic]. Charming is Dusk’s Grandpa; Due to having Light as his daughter, and my mother was Dusk’s Grandma.”

They all went “oh” in unison.

“You know, remember when Dusk went after the Mane 5?” They all nod “Well, being a changeling, she got pregnant and gave birth to them. Ruby, Clarity, Sweet Apple, Harmonic Butterfly with her pet: Hover, and Wild Candy.”

Charming asked “So, they were her direct daughters?”

“Yes.”

They were surprised to hear that.

“Also, there is some wonderful news. Rainbow, you want to tell them?”

Rainbow shouted with glee “Me and Danny are getting married!”

They all were awe shocked and surprise. But then they began to cheer.

Charming said “Congratulations for you brother.”

“Thank you Charming. I am happy, very happy.”

Charming said “By the way, I’ve wanted to ask. Why is Rainbow a…”

“Bat Pony or Vampony?” I finished him.

Charming said “Yes.”

Rainbow explained “Well, Danny and I were so deeply in love that Danny really wanted to spend the rest of his life with me. But, while he was immortal, I was not. He so deeply wanted me to be immortal so he began to think of turning me into a Living Vampony or Bat Pony. I was blessed with immortality so we could live out our lives together.”

Charming said “Ohhh…”

“Me and Rainbow are mated under Vampony or Bat Pony traditions. So, we’ve wanted to get married to finally be united.”

Rainbow said “We’ve also had…sex.”

They all gasped, except for me. Lucky for us, there were no other people around. There were only the Princesses, Mane 6, Charming, and Cynder.

Charming said “Brother, I’m so proud and happy for you!”

I blushed very red in embarrassment.

“Thank you…”

Luna asked “Are you pregnant Rainbow?”

Rainbow said “Actually, I’m not sure…”

“I hope she is…” I whispered silently.

No one but Charming heard it and smiled.

Charming asked “So, you have been defending Equestria?”

“Speaking of things, I’ve been wanting to sign a treaty to finally unite the Equestrian Empire and the Phantom Consortium forever to generations to come. Would you agree, brother?”

Charming said “I’ll be honored to fight alongside with you.”

“Me too. We are finally united.”

We shook hooved and did a hoof pump but after that, blue mist left my mouth and I smiled.

“Hello father…glad you could join us.”

Suddenly, 3 ghosts appeared. It was the Spirits of Sombra, Starswirl, and Amidala.

Sombra asked “How is it that you can sense us?”

Charming added “Yeah, how?”

An adult voice replied “I might be able to answer that.”

Suddenly, a sphere appeared and it disappeared, revealing an adult ghost. He wore a purple robe, teal skin, he had a scar over his left eye, he had blood red eyes, a lot of watches, and a staff. I smiled and hugged him.

“Clockwork!” I shouted with happiness.

Clockwork said “Hello Danny. It’s been a long time, hasn’t it?”

I pulled away, frowning a bit.

“You never come to visit.”

Clockwork said “Well, I AM the Master of Time. But then again, all you have to do is call me, King Danny.”

“Well, you are my guardian after taking me away to train for a thousand years of Ghost Training. AND just because I claimed the throne of the Ghost Zone, doesn’t mean that I’m royalty to the Ghosts of the Ghost Zone.”

They were all surprised to hear that.

Clockwork said “Well, I’m here now to congratulate you for your success.”

“Why do I get the feeling that’s not the reason why you are here…”

Clockwork smiled at what I said.

Clockwork said “You know all so well. Fine, I will tell you. The Dawning of Darkness is approaching fast. The Vamponies are gathering in strength and are gaining allies.”

“What allies?”

Clockwork replied “I won’t say. However, I will inform you that someone else will appear in this conflict. An evil clone, believed to be the second daughter of Nightmare Moon and King Sombra.”

“Who is she cloned from?”

Clockwork said “You will find out in the future. Just keep an eye out and you will be ready when she does come.”

“Well, alright.”

Clockwork nods and teleports away.

“By the way, Charming. I think you do believe in 2nd chances, I didn’t mean to shatter you like that. I guess my anger got the best of me. By the way, I’ve noticed that you have received training from Jedi arts. Who were your masters?”

Charming answered “Anakin Skywalker, Yodi, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Qui-Gon.”

“Jedi Master?” I asked.

Charming asked “How did you know? And who were you trained from?”

“I was trained by Sith Lords: Darth Sidious, Darth Revan, Starkiller, and Count Dooku. Tell me, did they teach you the Jedi Code?”

Charming replied “No…”

“My masters taught me both the Jedi and Sith Code. The Jedi Code says: ‘There is no emotion, there is peace. There is no ignorance, there is knowledge. There is no passion, there is serenity. There is no chaos, there is harmony. There is no death, there is the Force.’ The Sith Code says something different: ‘Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall free me.’ I’ve always liked the Sith code, but don’t always follow it.”

Charming said, intrigued “Interesting…”

“Well, tomorrow we shall sign a treaty and we will unite our two mighty empires.”

We left to go to sleep.

The next day…

I looked at the treaty documents with the others.

Treaty of Unity
This Document of a treaty will be signed by two of Equestria’s finest rulers/leaders. This will unite two separate factions or Empires and combined them to be formed as one single mighty world power.
Equestrian Empire signature:_____________
Phantom Consortium Signature:_______________

I signed for the Phantom Consortium under my name and Charming signed his name for the Equestrian Empire. When we finished, we began to cheer and celebrate.

“Today is a new day for both the Equestrian Empire and Phantom Consortium. Together, we shall stand together against this incoming threat as one mighty world power! This is a new Beginning!” I shouted in a victory tone.

Charming said “I couldn’t agree with you more.”

Author's Note

This is consider the end of my story. I don't exactly know about Sonicdash123 though. Oh, but there is one more chapter. The Wedding!

The Wedding

The next week…

I was pacing around my chamber. I was nervous, very nervous. Charming and Darkbine were in the room with me, trying to calm me down.

Charming said. Trying to calm me down “Come on brother, this isn’t the end of the world.”

“But Rainbow wants everything exciting and awesome! While we are alike in that personality, I’m nervous that Rainbow won’t think I’m cool enough!”

Darkbine replied “Come on Danny, she’s nervous as well. Dusk and the Mane 6 are trying to calm her down. Come on, we need to get your suit that Rarity prepared for you. Rarity is working on Rainbow’s Suit.”

“Yeah…I guess you are right.”

I took some deep breathes and we began to walk to where Rarity made the clothes at. We arrived there and I began to look at my suit. It was dark blue officer suit, similar to what Shining wore on his wedding. He had a metal crest that had Luna’s insignia on it. He wore the uniform with pride and he adjusts the metal bind that had my mother’s crest on it.

Rainbow and the others were at the kitchens where they saw Applejack baking food.

Rainbow asked “How’s the food, AJ?”

Applejack replied “Good, as always.”

Rainbow grabbed a muffin and ate it. After a few minutes of chewing, she swallowed and loved the results.

“Awesome as always, AJ.” Rainbow replied.

Applejack nodded and Twilight checked that off the list. Rainbow, Twilight, and Dusk were checking out preparations for the wedding.

Rainbow said “I wonder what Danny is doing…”

Twilight replied “Never mind him. We should be getting ready for everything else.”

Dusk said “Agreed. Mother, we should do some more preparations THEN we can do something fun.”

Rainbow replied “Agreed Dusk.”

They began to proceed to looking over other preparations.

They were up in a tower with Rarity making Rainbow’s wedding dress. Rainbow loved what Rarity was making her and examined it carefully.

Rainbow said “I love how you are making the dress Rarity.”

Rarity replied “Thank you Rainbow Dash. You know, it was actually quite boring without you around.”

Rainbow said “Yeah, sorry for leaving you all like that but my heart belonged to Danny. You all know that.”

Rarity said, rather depressed “Indeed and you got a handsome stallion, didn’t you Rainbow dear?”

Rainbow replied “Hey, Dusk showed me what you craved most. Don’t act like that.”

Rarity blushed very red while Dusk snickers.

Rarity asked “Dusk…showed you that?”

Rainbow said “Yeah and trust me, I burst into laughter. I think I should consider Dusk doing that to you again.”

Twilight asked “Doing wha-“

Rarity shouted “No! I won’t be depressed again towards you! Just don’t make me relive that again!!”

Dusk and Rainbow snickered at what was going on.

Dusk said “Alright, I think we are done here.”

Twilight asked, completely confused “…What just happened?”

Rainbow and Pinkie were playing games with one another while Twilight checked “Games” off the list. Dusk was watching with interest. Dusk never played a game before because she was always in battle. When Pinkie and Rainbow finished, they walked back over to Dusk and Twilight.

Dusk said “You know; I’ve never did understand the concept of having fun before. I’ve always fought in a war and never did get the chance to play around.”

Rainbow said “Really? That’s so sad…”

Twilight said “Well, we should continue and keep checking off the list.”

Rainbow replied “Agreed. I wonder what Danny is doing…”

Dusk said “I’m sure he is doing something with his brother…”

Charming said, interested in what he was seeing “Interesting…absolutely incredible.”

“Glad you like it.”

I was showing Charming some new blueprints for new and more improved personal bodyguards. Thanks to the data provided by Proxy, I made some new improvements to the Magma Guards and designed to create the EG-5 Jedi Hunter Droid but don’t actually use it to hunt down Jedi. They would become my personal bodyguards and I decided to ask Charming if he would like some of his own, since we signed the treaty.

Charming asked “So, this ‘Proxy’ managed to survive the crash landing when the Galactic Empire shot down the Rebel fleet and you salvaged him and made him your’s?”

“Indeed. Thanks to all the data stored inside Proxy, these new droids will be able to fight like the data they use from. As for the Sith Training Droids you made, we already made those. Proxy may be an older model but he is the best there is.”

Charming said “You know what? I’ll accept some of these droids. We can use them to protect the Princesses and any royalty on this planet.”

“Glad you could agree. Now, there are is another droid I wish to talk about. It’s known as “Aqua Droid”. The Aqua Droids will be used for underwater combat, in case if our enemy uses the water for an advantage.”

Charming said “You know; your engineers are much more ideal than our engineers. We never thought about aquatic battles before…”

“Then that is a problem for you. We already made plans for Aqua Droids, Trident-class assault ships, and Manta droid subfighters.” I said.

Charming said, impressed “You really are far ahead of us in water combat.”

“Thank you. You know, while you have extra fighter types, the Phantom Consortium are already making up for the lack of fighters. Soon we will have X-Wings, B-Wings, Y-Wings, A-Wings, StarVipers, and Griffin Starfighters.”

Charming said “You know; your military is well organized. It’s no wonder why the Phantom Consortium managed to defend Equestria from outside invasions.”

“I got that training from Darth Revan, one of my Sith Masters. Revan was a military master and lead the Republic in the Mandalorian Wars. He was respected for that so he taught me everything he knew.”

Charming said “Well, that’s good to know.”

“Hey, maybe we can spare sometimes. And maybe I can help you improve your control over your medallion.”

My medallion glowed in objection. I chuckled in responded.

Unicron shouted in my mind “I refuse to help my arch nemesis and his champion!”

“You really don’t have much choice in the matter Unicron. Besides, we have been together for more than a year while you have been plaguing me with nightmares.”

Unicron said, surprised “Wait…you found out-“

“Yes, I found out that nightmare you gave me to start looking for the EOI was a lie. Trying to turn me evil, well, I’m able to control my evil.”

Charming asked “What do you mean?”

“Remember our father?” Charming nods “Turns out that I’m the chosen one of the Dark Side of the Force. However, I’ve learned and master the ways on how to control the Dark Side of the Force, bending it to my will. While I’m not evil, I do use the Dark Side of the Force. I’ve also got to tell you something important…”

Charming asked “What is it?”

“Remember when Sunset Shimmer left you?”

Charming said “Yes…”

“I’m the reason why she left.” Charming was shock and surprised “You see, she craved for more power. Then, she met me. I caught her looking for a way to becoming more powerful than ever before. I told her that the Dark Side of Magic is a pathway to abilities most would be consider unnatural. Of course, her curiosity grew and asked me if there was a way to learn this power. I replied to her in my exact words: ‘Not from Celestia’.”

Charming asked “She left on her own will?”

“Not at first. She demanded to become a Princess to rule by Celestia side. Celestia shut her out and she left. I met her during my quest to recreate an insanity freak that was lost.”

Charming asked “Who?”

“Painset Shimmercakes.”

Charming said “Similarities.”

“Indeed. Anyway, we should get going. The wedding is almost time.”

Charming replied “Alright.”

I smiled and we went to get ready.

Later…after some certain parts, I know nothing about weddings…

Luna asked “Do you, Rainbow Dash, take Danny Eclipse as your beloved husband?”

Rainbow replied “I do.”

Luna asked “And do you, Danny Eclipse, take Rainbow Dash to be your beloved wife?”

“I do.” I replied evenly

Luna asked “The rings, Spike?”

Spike, holding the rings on a cushion, walked over to Luna and she used their magic and placed the rings around their hooves.

Luna declared “Now, with the power vested inside me, I now pronounce you two, husband and wife. You may kiss the bride.”

We got closer and both me and Rainbow kissed each other with wonderful passion. Everyone cheered and the crowd outside cheered as well. When we separated, we looked outside and see TIE Bombers flying overhead and fired their torpedoes to create fireworks. Suddenly, there was a burst and see a rainbow being formed. We smiled, knowing it was Dusk who changed her form to be Rainbow to make it even more pleasant. When she finished, she flew back to us and changed back to Dusk. We began to walk down and we were greeted by ours friends. The Mane 6, the Princesses, Gilda, The Demented 6, other Insanity Freaks, and even Chrysalis and Meta. We shook and hugged and everything. I smiled and nodded to Duran, who pushed a button on his wrist and the doors opened, revealing Lightning Dust and two Commandos. Everyone gasped in shock and Charming looked ready to attack but I stopped him. Lightning came to me and kneeled to me.

Lightning said “Forgive me, my lord and one true master. I swear on my life that I will NEVER betray you again. Can you forgive me?”

“Lightning Dust, you are welcome to rejoin our ranks again. You still have your rank as Squad Leader but remember, the next time you betray me, you will suffer severe punishment.”

Charming asked “Are you sure this is wise brother?”

“You believe in 2nd chances. I do too, and we must stand united if we are to survive.”

Charming said “I trust your judgment brother. Now and forever.”

I smiled and nodded. We left the throne room and went to celebrate for the rest of the day.

Meanwhile…

A hooded figure from a far distant land was looking towards Equestria. The figure stopped when a messenger arrived to talk to the pony.

The Figure ordered “Report.”

The Messenger reported “We have located the Heir to the throne. He has refused to rejoin us.”

The figure replied “Perhaps we can revive our queen…”

The Messenger replied “Our Queen has disappeared from the lands of the dead. She must have returned to the world of the living but we can’t locate her.”

The Figure said “Find her and bring her back here! A new era comes and we must be ready to greet. The era of the Vampony! Go and find our long lost queen!”

The Messenger replied “Yes Lord Harkon.”

Harkon ordered “Also, search for my long lost daughter, Serana.”

The Messenger said “Yes, milord.”

The messenger left as Harkon began to laugh evilly.

Author's Note

Well, that is the end of this Phantom War. Next one will continue the story.

The Answers of Cybertron

Charming asked "Did you place a tracking beacon on one of them?"

"Yes, your highness," the soldier replied. "They won't know that it is on. It is like a size of a flea."

"What?" Twilight asked confused.

"Did you think that was the only plan I had, my dear. There is always a plan 'B'. Track them down and find out where in the griffin kingdom Danny is hiding." Charming replied.

“Plan B, hey? Thanks for exposing your plan. Dusk…”

Dusk replied “Alright altering course to Ponyville for a dip in the pond.”

Onslaught reported “The Rogue Shadow is there, waiting for us.”

“Good. Combaticons and Dusk, ready to have a dip in the pond?”

The shuttle landed in Ponyville and the group got off and walked over to the pond. They jumped in, one-by-one. After a few minutes, they get out and Danny looks into the pond and sees the tiny devise that had short circuit. I smiled evilly as I push a button to make the Rogue Shadow reveal itself and we got on, destroyed the other shuttle, and left to the Griffin Lands.

Charming shouted with anger “It makes no sense! How did Danny know about the devise!?”

Twilight replied, trying to reason with Charming “Charming, you must calm down. Remember, Unicron could have detected it…we don’t know for certain. Danny is dangerously unpredictable.”

Rarity added “She’s right darling. We knew Danny was resourceful and here is the proof for it.”

Charming still shouted “But it still doesn’t make any sense! It was almost like he knew it was planted!”

Twilight warned “Charming, calm down or we will MAKE you calm down!”

Charming still was steaming but stopped after Twilight kissed him. Charming began to breathe normally.

Charming said calmly “Thanks…I needed that.”

Twilight said “I know. You can’t let Danny into your head like that. Come now, we should rest up.”

Charming answered “You’re right…”

Twilight smiled and the two went to bed. Little did Charming know that I had begun my dream invasion.

Charming found himself in a black voice, nowhere to go to. Suddenly, he sees me in front of him.

“Hello brother…”

Charming asked “Is this…”

“Not quite. This is your subconscious, a good place where we can talk.”

Charming replied annoyingly “What would you want? Here to gloat?”

“I could see the questions boiling in your mind. You want to know all about Cybertron; its origin, its history, its inhabitance, its destruction, and how Primus and Unicron met.”

Suddenly, the void changed into a robotic surrounding. Charming looked around and sees a two giant robots.

“First of all, how Cybertron was created. There were the gods; Primus and Unicron. Both were the opposite of the other. Primus was the reincarnation of creation, Unicron was the reincarnation of destruction. You get the point. Anyway, both sides clashed at each other, some won victories, some lost. One day, Primus created the first thirteen Primes. With the Primes, Primus and the Primes managed to defeated Unicron and send him to deep space. Primus, then, transformed and became Cybertron’s very core. This next part is where we would become alike…” I explained

Charming asked “What do you mean?”

“Just listen,” I said. “Millions of years later, during the golden era, there was a clerk. His name was Orion Pax. Orion was inspired by Cybertron’s past and began to study it. There was another, though. His name was Megatronus and he was a gladiator. Megatronus demanded that all Cybertronians were to be considered equal and have same amount of rights. Megatronus was both a gladiator and a politician. Megatronus began a revolution of following, his first follower was known as Soundwave. Orion met with Megatronus, and they became mentor/student relationship. Megatronus, when he left the gladiatorial arenas, saw fit to shorten his name to Megatron. Megatron appeared to the high council, proposing for a just society.”

Charming asked “How is this related to-“

“Shh! I’m getting there!” I replied. “Anyway, Megatron showed his true colors. He proposed to overthrow the old guard with force and demanded to be made the next Prime. But Orion never believed in violence. Orion did a speech that move and influence the hearts and minds of the council. Orion was saw to be the next Prime but Megatron left the council, fueled with rage and hatred. Megatron began a civil war, killing any Cybertronians who dare oppose him. He made an army known as the Decepticons. The war eventually made its way to Cybertron’s core, poisoning Primus himself. Orion traveled down there, hoping to reverse the ill effects but it was too late. Eventually, Orion was given the Matrix of Leadership, becoming Optimus Prime. The two were like brothers to each other, both knew each other by heart. Eventually, the Autobots left the planet with the Decepticons and the war against other eventually destroyed them altogether. However, Primus and Unicron managed to create a medallion for them. Each medallion held the knowledge of both factions. The Medallion of Unicron held the Dark Spark and knowledge of the Decepticon Faction. You know, me and Megatron aren’t so different. I’m a gladiator, a Politian, and your brother. Charming, you are somewhat related to Optimus yourself. The Medallion of Primus holds the wisdom of the Primes, like the Matrix of Leadership. And it has the knowledge of the Autobot Faction. You know, my creations were based upon the Decepticons. Trypticon was the metal titan for the Decepticon, the Combaticons were Decepticons’ strongest military team during the War of Cybertron. You see? We are not much different from the two greatest Cybertronians in the world. But war is pointless. Why fight against each other?”

Charming was thinking about it.

“I will be expecting your answer, hopefully soon. Oh, as for how I know about your plan ‘B’, let’s just say a little birdy told me. If you want to find me, here is where I am. You will wake up and find the location and coordinates in the front of your mind. Look on a map if you have to. But to give you a fair warning before you come storming. I set up a blockade to prevent any ‘uninvited’ guests.”

The world began to light up brightly.

“See you soon Brother. Do come and pay me a visit. I get lonely in my palace at times.” I told him as I faded away.

I opened my eyes and smiled with joy. Not only did I reveal my location, but I’ll be expecting company soon. Just 1 more day before Rainbow’s Transformation is complete. I got up and prepared to be ready for Charming’s arrival.

Author's Note

Well, this is a change of events, that's for sure. Danny, revealing his location to Charming. How will things turn out?
