Equestria Wars Episode XII: Return of the Scourge

At the counsel room, a meeting was being held while most of the members were contacting from hologram transmission. A hologram of Danny appeared who started to sit down next to Rainbow. "Alright, now that we are here," Celestia said. "Let us proceed with the order."

"So, what is the progress with Havoc?" Charming Thunder asked.

"We have fought his army everywhere in Equestria," Danny reported. "The assault will proceed soon, the other half of my army is almost complete. Also, I think I’m being watched."

"What makes you say that?" Celestia asked curiously.

"Every day, I have a tingling sensation running down my spine like a warning. I always turned to meet the source but it suddenly vanishes. And when I turn to leave, the sensation is back."

"Is it possible that you are being followed by an assassin?" Luna asked.

"No, not even an assassin has such marveling skill to avoid my eyes. It isn’t a ghost either because my ghost senses would have gone off." This seemed to trouble everyone. Danny noticed that Discord was here as well seated in his own throne next to Celestia. Danny suddenly felt something as Discord felt it as well. "You felt it too Discord?" Discord nodded and that was when they heard a dark chuckle in the room. They got up and began to look around.

"Hello again, my dear rival Discord... it’s been so long since I last seen you," a male voice said. Discord’s eyes narrowed and everyone sees an Vampony Alicorn appear in the center of the table, looking at Discord. The Vampony Alicorn had cyan color coat, brown mane and tail along with a small brown beard. His eyes were completely white, no pupils at all. He had a unicorn horn and vampony wings, which were cyan color as well. But what was what caught my attention was his cutie mark. His cutie mark was a fireball and there was only one like it in the world.

"Herobrine! Aspect of Pranks and Trolls and King of the Nether Realm! I had thought you were banished to the Nether and End Realms by Starswirl himself!" Herobrine turned to Danny with a smirk on his face.

"It is good to know that I have not yet been forgotten in this world. I had originally thought that Starswirl would not record any record of me in the history books."

"Actually, I’m the Chronicler. You have not been recorded in Equestrian History, but in my books, you have been." The title alone made Discord and Herobrine gasp in shock.

"Danny… you’re the Chronicler!?" Discord asked.

"What is the Chronicler?" Twilight asked, not knowing why the name was so important.

"I, myself, am wondering the same thing," Celestia agreed.

"You see, there are many aspects," Herobine explained. "Celestia is, unknowingly, the Aspect of the Light. Luna is the Aspect of the Night. Cadence is the Aspect of Love. Discord is the Aspect of Chaos. Sombra was the Aspect of Shadow, until he died. Twilight is the Aspect of Magic. Charming is the Aspect of Harmony. I am the Aspect of Pranks and/or Trolling. The Chronicler is the supposed Aspect of Knowledge. Mephiles is the Aspect of Darkness. And to end it all off; Lilith is the Aspect of Lust. Also, Danny is also supposed to be the Aspect of Insanity but being two Aspect at once is sometime rare." There were a series of gasps around the table.

"So…we have been Aspects without even knowing it!" Charming Thunder shouted with surprise and shock.

"Actually Charming; when you were revived by the Elements of Harmony, it acknowledge you AS the Aspect of Harmony," Danny explained. "So, you became an Aspect like me not that long ago. But to truly become an Aspect, we still must pass the third and final trial. Our father never achieved that, since he was driven into evil. He never became a full Aspect so he wasn’t as powerful as Celestia or Luna." danny began to get up from his chair. "Well, this has been interesting and everything but I must really get going." Everyone looked at Danny as Rainbow nodded. The hologram of Danny, Rainbow, and Twilight faded away as everything in the room became quiet. It felt like an hour or two when it was only five minutes when Herobrine broke the silence.

"Well… this just got awkward now," Herobine said.

"How is Lilith lately?" Discord asked.

"Just fine, actually. I heard you and Fluttershy are getting along well."

"Actually, we broke up when Dark Fluttershy began to be aggressive to me. So, Masquerade and Fluttershy are together again." Everyone gasped with shock after hearing the news.

"My gosh Discord, I am so sorry for you," Charming Thunder said. "You alright?"

"I appreciate your concern, but I am fine now."

A week later since the meeting, Charming Thunder sat down on the floor in his quarters as he meditated. He heard the news that Sonata became Danny's final mate and a vampony. He didn't trust her, but he is happy that a siren is in love with Danny even after what she and the other Dazzlings did at the human world. A time portal suddenly opened over his head as he looked up to see it. The portal began to suck him in as he screamed with fear.

Charming Thunder groaned as he slowly opened his eyes to see that Twilight, Rainbow, and his brother Danny who then helped Charming Thunder up from the ground. When the others got up, they see what Danny was seeing. They were standing in the destroyed town which appears to look a lot like Ponyville. "What happened and what was with that vortex earlier?" Charming Thunder asked.

"That was a time portal," Danny explained. "How it opened was beyond me. One opened above me and the girls."

"Did anypony get the number on the portal?" Rainbow said sarcastically. Charming Thunder and Danny chuckled at her sarcasm. The group then looked around frowning and having sad expressions on their faces.

"What happened to this place?" Twilight asked.

"This is the future of Equestria?" Charming Thunder added. "What happened?" Before anybody could reply, Danny felt himself to be stiffed against his will.

"Ah ha!" a voice cried with victory. "Got you!" The group turned to see a white unicorn with a weird white mane and tail, blood red eyes, and had a mane collar around his neck, and his cutie mark was a weird teal symbol.

"Who are you?" Danny asked.

"Don’t act like you don’t remember me; not after what you did to my parents, monster!"

"Wait!" Charming Thunder shouted as he stood in front of Danny. The unicorn's eyes widened with shock and surprise.

"C-Charming Thunder? But how!? You’re dead!"

"Wait, dead?"

"How is Charming dead?" Rainbow asked as the unicorn backed up a few steps.

"This isn’t possible...Twilight and Rainbow..."

"Are we dead as well?" Twilight asked to confirm.

"No...but you two are the enemy."

"How did all of this happen?" Rainbow asked.

"My mom told me that Canterlot was attack 10 years ago. During the attack, Twilight and Rainbow along with Shining Armor toke over Canterlot Castle and both Charming and Danny fighting against each other and the roof collapsed on Charming that was caused and..." The unicorn looked at Danny with hatred in his eyes. His horn ignited brighter and began to charge an attack. "And it was all your fault!!" Before he could attack, a green energy wave knocked him away. They looked at the source, seeing Danny, but with a different appearance.

""Actually, that was me," Future Danny said. " "And you eventually." He lands down to the ground, Danny was freed from the control of the unicorn. "Well, well, well. Charming Thunder, it’s been a while. 10 years to be accurate...so, what do I own this blast from the past?"

"We were sent here for some off reason," Charming Thunder replied. Future Danny goes to his side as Danny's medallion suddenly began to glow as he see's his future self wearing the medallion as it glowed.

"It seems that seeing each other here and our medallions may have caused some confusion between the past and future Unicron," Danny said.

"While you may be from the past, I’m going to finish what I started 10 years ago," Future Danny said. "You know, if I an ounce of ponity left in me this would be a very touching little reunion, Charming." Twilight and Rainbow looked at each other then looked back at him. "But of course I surrendered my pony half a long time ago..." Before he could do anything, he was blasted back with a beam of magic. They were freed and they turned to see Light Sparkle who looks like that she hasn't aged a bit standing next to a friend of hers. She was a lavender alicorn with purple mane and tail. Her eyes were bright yellow, like the sun, and her cutie mark was flame. A pony which appears to be Sonic rushed over to Future Danny helping him up.

Light looked at Charming Thunder and asked, "Dad? How are you here?"

"We are from the past send here for some reason," Charming Thunder replied. "What’s going on!?"

"Allow me to introduce myself; I am Princess Blaze, daughter of Princess Celestia," Blaze greeted.

"And sorry about before," the unicorn added. "My name is Silver, son of Shadow and Pinkie Pie."

"Ah ha!" Danny shouted. "Knew it! That is 50 bits for me, Charming!" Twilight and Rainbow had a confused look while Charming Thunder groaned.

"Oh yes, I remember that bet," Future Danny said as he got up. "Me and Charming bet that Shadow and Pinkie would get married and have a child."

"Is that who I think it is, Light?"

"Yep; the blue one is your son Danny, just older," Light said.

"That’s Sonic!?" Rainbow shouted with shock.

"Indeed," Sonic replied. The group now sees Shining Armor, a new looking Twilight, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash arriving to Future Danny and Sonic. "Ok, why is the future Twilight looking like that? She looks like Nightmare Moon. And what happened to the other girls?"

"It’s her Lunar Form and the others were granted power and darkness by Cyber when they joined him," Light explained.

"Lunar Form?" Twilight asked. "When did I get that?"

"Oh; she’s from the past," Lunar Twilight said. "Probably before the invasion."

"Invasion?" Charming Thunder asked.

"Let us not alter time now," Future Danny warned. Lunar Twilight whined to him.

"But Cyber, I’ve been dying to tell him!"

"Fine. But don’t say too much." Lunar Twilight cheered and returned her gaze to the group.

"I can’t believe you lied to your friends and family about the secret Charming! You lied to Luna, you lied to your father, you even lied to your brother! You kept the truth from them for too long now! Tell them what happened back in the Lunar Wars! Tell them what you did to the loyalists of the NLR that were your friends!"

"Charming...what is she talking about?" Twilight asked.

"I...don’t know what she is talking about," Charming Thunder nervously replied.

"Don’t lie Charming! My past self may not remember but I do! I was the daughter of Luna and sister to Danny! Twivine was my twin sister! But you wanted your precious Twilight and you lied to get it! It sickens me to know such a thing from you!" Everyone, including Twilight, looked at Charming Thunder. He was on the ground, almost heart broken. Danny shook it off and stepped forward.

"I knew Twilight was my sister," Danny added. There were surprise gasps from Twilight and Charming Thunder looked up too. "I am the Aspect of Knowledge; I knew Twilight was my family five to six hundred years ago. I knew everything from the past to present. I knew about prophecies and more. I was always prepared for the future."

"Y-You knew?"

"Yes. I’ve always known. I only thought Charming would release the spell when he was ready to admit it. But seeing this now...it pains me to see the future like this." Danny began to cloak himself using his element. He also created Withered Golden Freddy and Super Sonic (From Five Nights at Sonic’s). "I must do everything in my power to defeat you, even if you are our former friends!"

"If you think we will go down without a fight, guess again!" Sonic shouted.

"You are in the past, but I am more stronger," Cyber added. "I have already unlocked my true powers of being the Aspect of Insanity!" His necklace appeared around his neck. It changed color from green to dark red. Cyber lay down and suddenly, he began to dash away, leaving a series of ‘clicks’. The group got into their battle positions.

"He had Pinkis’ powers!?" Charming Thunder shouted in question. "How!?"

"He’s the Aspect of Insanity," Danny explained. "Being the Aspect of the Elements of Insanity, he is granted the powers and abilities of their wielders." The group suddenly see Cyber jumping at them. Danny created a ghost shield to defend themselves. from the attack. Cyber was pushed back and his jewel color changed from dark red to neon. Suddenly, his ears changed to earbuds and he had a smirk on his face. His right hoof changed to a shotgun and he fired it at them, making the group scatter.

"He switched from Pinkis to Rainbine!" Twilight shouted.

"Time that we got out of here. I’ll end this quickly!" Danny inhaled then performed the Ghostly Wail, causing Cyber to be sent backwards into a building. He then aimed his hoof at a wall and a portal opened. "Like Clockwork, I can control time and use it. We must return to our timeline." Twilight and Rainbow had already enter the time portal while him and Charming Thunder were about to go when they were stopped by Light.

"Hey, Dad and Grandpa Danny," Light said. "There is something I want to tell you."

"What is it?" Charming Thunder asked.

"Before Danny became Cyber, he had worked on a project known as ‘Project Revival’. Danny, you already know how to reanimate the dead, so he did research and managed to bring back an uncorrupt Sombra, Amidala, and Starswirl back to life."

"I what?" Danny said. Light only nodded and smiled as Charming Thunder grabbed his hoof and rushed through the portal.

The group was in the middle of the time stream gap as Danny sees Charming Thunder, Twilight, and Rainbow asleep. He then entered his alicorn form and used a memory block spell on the three. "This is for the safety of the future," Danny said. "You three must never remember what you have witnessed, so you will never remember about the vortex. But do not worry; when the crisis is adverted, you will remember everything. For now...let you three forget everything." When the spell ended, he sent Charming Thunder back to the front lines in the Crystal Empire and he returned himself along with Twilight and Rainbow back to the village. They won’t remember anything about the future when they wake up.
