Equestria Wars Episode XIII: Revenge of the Lunar Republic
Chapter 14: Chapter 13: Fall of Darkness
Previous Chapter Next ChapterCharming Thunder sighed in defeat grabbed his medallion and summoned his Star Saber. Mephiles' eyes narrowed and said, "You're kidding. You're kidding, right?" Charming Thunder took the blade and dashed forward. Mephiles attempts to get away, but Charming Thunder goes into the slash attack; which struck his side and cut a deep slash into it. Charming Thunder goes into the strike and hits square at Mephiles' chest. His eyes narrow and then he looks at the blade that began to cover with black blood. He grabs the blade and pulls it out of him and throws Charming Thunder away. He was caught by Twilight and they see Mephiles fall to the ground along with Danny. He coughed out green, red, and purple mixed blood. Mephiles was coughing and his stab wound was dropping blood.
"Master!" Tirek shouted. Tirek goes to Mephiles and picks him up. Mephiles groans in pain and the heroes began to advance.
"Its over, Mephiles!" Celestia shouted. "There's no where to run!"
"I still have one trick up my sleeve," Mephiles replied with a rasp voice. Danny's eyes narrowed and grabbed his medallion.
"All guns, focus attack fire at Area 15," Danny ordered. "We got a Tal'darim recue fleet coming for its master! Decepticons, mobilize to halt its rescue! Don't let the Spear of Adun get close to the island or Mephiles and his goons!" At that moment; a ship and a fleet of battleships appeared from Warp Drive. All guns; from the Dark Forge, Nemesis, and the Gravestone began to open fire upon the Tal'darim fleet; completely ignoring the Equestrian Empire fleet that hasn't change its course to the Dark Forge's main stabilizer. Rainbow and Sonata's eyes flashed purple and they ran to the the edge before transform into their Cybertronian form and enter their vehicle form to attack the fleet. Suddenly; a massive fleet of fighters began to leave the Gravestone. A battle began to go out as the lead ship began to advance to the island. The Dark Forge's turbolasers began to fire at the leading ship. After a few minutes; Mephiles and his goons were warped away from their position and the lead ship began to retreat. Danny's eyes flashed purple and the Nemesis began to fire its cannons at the engines of the leading ship. The leading ship began to group up with its allies and those battlecruisers began to do a 180 degree turn. When the leading ship united with them; the ship began to warp away. When they got away, Danny hits the ground in hate as well as cough more blood. The group heard him and came to his side. Rainbow and Sonata got back and they return to normal then went to his side along with Charming Thunder.
"Danny, look at me, don't you dare die on me!" Charming Thunder ordered. "You brought my mother and our father back, I don't want to lose you now."
"C-Charming. You know I'm not going to make it..."
"Don't say that!" Danny chuckled a little which caused him to cough a bit.
"Don't laugh," Rainbow begged. "Save your strength."
"I'm not going to make it... but I can't die so I'll be with you at all times... my soul will go to the shadow realm... Charming, I want you to bring peace to this world. Kill Mephiles, keep the peace, and don't let my dying breath slow you down. Do everything in your power to stop Mephiles. I could see into his mind and he is planning big...Charming."
"Don't talk Danny," Charming Thunder begged. "You must save your strength. A medical ship is already on its way."
"You must hear this Charming...Mephiles knows of other medallions. You, me, Phantom; we only possess three of several medallions. I know of five; the Medallion of the Seekers, the Medallion of the Insecticons, the Medallion of the Predicons, the Medallion of the Dinobots, and the Medallion of the Maximals. There may be more but you mustn't let Mephiles get them; especially the Medallion of the Predicons. The Predicons were ancient cybertronian dinosaurs. With that power; Mephiles may be unstoppable, but he knows he can't wield that power but, like us, he knows of an alternative. He plans to make a clone more powerful than me and you combined."
"What is so special of this clone?"
"He has our DNA; yours and mine. He will be like me and you in a way but different. You must stop Mephiles. While he may not die, he will be extremely weak. He will be no longer more powerful than LaurFa; he will be as weak as an average alicorn so he will still be powerful."
"Enough. Rest up."
"N-no... my time as come. Don't worry; I'll search for a way back into the world. Please... preserve my legacy, memory, and body. And don't... let..... Mephiles........ win.............." Danny's cybernetic eye began to flicker before dying out. Life faded from his eye as he died in Charming Thunder's hooves.
"Danny! Danny!! Don't go. Please!! Don't die on me." Charming Thunder's tears fell as he pressed his head on Danny's and began to cry. Celestia, Luna, Twilight, and Cadence lowered their heads as he continued to cry. For the first time in years, he had lost a brother.
---------------------
At Danny's funeral, everyone who showed was in despair. Danny's coffin was put into a black and white grave and sealed away. Charming Thunder was at a tower in Canterlot castle where he got the view of the funeral and watched as his brother's coffin was being buried. TIE Fighters flew past the castle as he went inside and sat down on a chair in the room. He looked down as he whispered, "I will finish what you started, brother."
