Light made her way to the detention center and saw Nunally in a cell. Skytroopers charged in and fired at Light, but she took cover and fired back. Once she took down the Skytroopers, she rushed to Nunally's cell and deactivated the force field. "You're safe, Nunally," she said.
"Thank you, miss," Nunally said. "Where's Charming Thunder?"
"He's heading to the bridge to confront Zero." Nunally gasped at the news.
"We need to head there now. Zero is not who he think he is."
"Who is he then?
"He's---" Nunally was interrupted when a blaster shot bolted past them. More Skytroopers entered the room and began to open fire.
"No time. We need to head to the bridge."
---------------------
Twilight watched as the Death Star fired at another cruiser leaving another explosion destroying more cruisers. "I am starting to like this station," Twilight said. "I hope that Charming will be okay. Don't let me down, honey."
---------------------
Charming Thunder chopped down some Skytroopers as he made his way to the bridge. He then encountered some guards at the door to the bridge. The guards twirled their staves and got into battle position as Charming Thunder taunted them. One of the guards charged at him and he leaps over the guard and slashed his back as the other guard charged and laid some strikes. Charming Thunder blocked the strikes then hits the guard in the chest and stabbed him in the back. He then deactivated his lightsaber and entered the bridge seeing Zero observing the battle. Zero turned to see him enter and took a few steps forward. "This has been about you," Zero said. "It always has been. I will do whatever it takes to destroy you. No more running this time." He walked down the stairs as Charming Thunder drew his blaster and shot it towards Zero hitting only his mask. The mask then began to split and fall apart revealing none other than his old friend; Lelouch. Charming Thunder gasped and dropped his blaster.
"I didn't want it to be you," Charming Thunder said; shockingly.
"Yes," Lelouch confessed. "I am Zero. The stallion who controls the Eternal Fleet. The one who challenges the Equestrian Empire and vowed vengeance on Danny Eclipse."
"You've lied to me all this time."
"You knew it was me?"
"I didn't want to believe it at first since Zero sounded like you." Charming Thunder then activated his lightsaber in anger. "But now we have unfinished business, old friend." Lelouch drew his blade and charged at him, but was stopped by Charming Thunder's force push and he slid him across the room. Charming Thunder walked towards him as Lelouch slowly got up.
"You're different. Stronger. How?" Charming Thunder tried to slice Lelouch but Lelouch avoided the attack and rolled out of the way.
"It's a power I learned from my brother long ago. Power you will never learn."
"Danny gifted you this power. And now he has given you nothing because of what you have done." Lelouch charged at Charming Thunder and gave strikes at him. Charming Thunder blocked the strikes and kicked him in the face. Outside, the Eternal Fleet cruisers repositioned themselves and began to fire at the flagship. The room began to collapse as the duel continued. Charming Thunder then hits Lelouch in the face using the hilt of his lightsaber and gave him heavy strikes which Lelouch was able to block. He then pushed Charming Thunder away from him and took a breather.
"Not like this..."
"It's over, Lelouch. Surrender. Now."
"I choose my own fate." Lelouch laid some heavy strikes as Charming Thunder blocked them and then kicked him in the face and chopped his hoof off. Charming Thunder then pointed his blade to his throat as Lelouch yielded.
"Wait," Nunally yelled as she stood in front of her brother.
"Stand aside, Nunally."
"Please don't kill my brother."
"Why? He's a terrorist."
"Dad, don't do it," Light pleaded. "If you strike him down in anger, you will become a threat as you once were when you were Nightmare. Didn't you believe in second chances?" Charming Thunder remembered the words of Danny about second chances and deactivated his lightsaber.
"I would rather see him in a cell." Nunally helped Lelouch up and followed Charming Thunder and Light to the hanger before the ship explodes.
---------------------
The fleet began to fire at the Eternal Fleet cruisers in the distance as Thrawn watched the carnage. He then notices a shuttle leaving the flagship and received a transmission from Charming Thunder. "Don't fire at the shuttle," Charming Thunder ordered. "I have a prisoner on board."
"As you wish, your highness." Charming Thunder then contacted Twilight on the terminal.
"Twilight, fire at the flagship. SCORPIO still wants us dead. Focus on the fleet." The Death Star fired at the flagship and made a huge explosion destroying the fleet as Charming Thunder piloted the shuttle through the explosion. The explosion died down and Charming Thunder sighed with relief. "Maybe when I am far away from the flagship next time, dear."
"Sorry," Twilight's voice replied. "Good thing that shot destroyed the fleet and I still see our fleet intact. But what of Zero?"
"Zero turned out to be Lelouch. He is on board as we speak. Have Celestia ready a cell for him."
"I'll contact her about the news."
"Good. I'll see you there. Charming out." The transmission ended as Charming Thunder piloted the shuttle towards Canterlot after the empire's victory against the Eternal Fleet.
