Phantom War II: Corruption Spreads

by Danny Eclipse


The Master Plan

A few weeks had past [Entering Equestria War IV] since the Arena accident. I had Cynder as my housecarl since I wanted her near me since she proven to me that she was able to handle well on the field. Boulder became one of my military generals and believe it or not, but he was famous in the military personal. Meta had him as his 2nd in command, which I didn’t mind. Cynder was more than well equipped to protecting me. She was wearing Mandalorian Armor of her own design. She didn’t need to wear the helmet and didn’t need the jetpack. The armor around her provided a personal shield, she also had some utilities like Flamethrower or Freeze Ray. She had 2 twin blaster pistols and a lot of different types of grenades. Her armor color was Black and she had the chest plate symbol on it resembling my medallion’s symbol. She was rather happy to have me by her side. We were waiting for the word to arrive to us that the Minotaur Kingdom has fallen to Iron Will. The waiting ended when my Changeling Spectre came inside the chamber.

“Report, my little changeling.” I ordered.

The Spectre replied “My liege, Iron Will has taken the capital, like you had predicted.”

“Excellent. Were there any resistance?”

Spectre replied “Nothing we couldn’t handle. They tried to make the highest Counsel Man become the new King but Iron Will and out forces eradicated the remaining resistance. Now, Iron Will has control of the Capital. We released the dark energy mist as you ordered and the people are under the influence and are loyal to Iron Will.”

“Excellent. Everything is coming to place. All there is now are the Zebras…” I trailed off at the word “Zebra”.

Cynder asked “Emperor Danny, may I make a suggestion?”

“Permission granted.”

Cynder explained “Since Iron Will has control over the Capital of the Minotaur Kingdom, we should focus our forces and resources to the Zebras. When we take them over, you will have complete control over 3 world powers, plus the allies of the Primal Changelings.”

“The suggestion is great but the Zebras are an intelligent race, since they develop technology that can rival the Phantom Consortium. They will forever resist us, even if I could take them to the influence of the dark side.” I told her.

Cynder answered, rather very darkly “Then eradicate the vermin, kill the Zebras.”

That thought crossed my mind and my medallion purred at the thought of all Zebras dead, destroying the 5th world power would make the Phantom Consortium as the 1st greatest faction. But then, an idea occurred to me, why not enslave them and take away their free will? That thought made my medallion purred even more. The thought, resistance is futile, made me think about when encounter that debris a few decades ago, during the time Celestia and when Clockwork and I went to see why those things wanted to take over Equestria.

“I have a better idea. Adjutant!” I shouted.

The android came in a few minutes later, kneeling before me.

Adjutant asked “Yes master?”

“Prepare a salvation fleet, we have to pick up some parts for my new master plan.”

Adjutant nodded and the Spectre left with her. I looked at Cynder.

“Cynder, you are to stay with me at all times. I rather I be with friends with somepony who is my friend.”

Cynder said “Yes Emperor Danny-“

“And didn’t I tell you to stop that?”

Cynder blushes in embarrassment and said “Apologizes Danny, it’s just that…I’m not used to the fact that you are royalty.”

“It’s ok.”


Later…

I was on a GS-100 salvage ship. There were an entire fleet of these ships. We were approaching the Badlands, far from Chrysalis’s Changeling Empire. The ships were approaching the coordinates that I gave them and when we arrived, there was a massive wreckage of debris parts of a ship. Cynder and Adjutant were awed by the amount of debris while I smirked.

“So, it wasn’t moved or discovered…” I said.

Adjutant asked “Wha-What is all of this, my liege?”

“This, Adjutant, is parts of a Borg Tactical Cube.”

Cynder asked “What kind of race is the Borg?”

“That’s hard.”

Cynder asked again “Why?”

“Because the Borg was millions of races under 1 cybernetic mind, call the Queen. It was like the Changelings but different. Me and Clockwork discovered that Borg remnants had crash landed here a few million years ago, during Nightmare Moon’s banishment. We killed off any surviving Borg and hid the wreckage with a special spell to block any uninvited seekers. Adjutant, I want the ships to recover any technology you find here and take it back to the Mega Factory. Also, salvage all Borg Drones because we will need their technology and Nanoprobes. If any drones are still alive, kill them on sight. Don’t let them touch you unless they are already dead.” I ordered.

Adjutant replied “Yes sir.”

I smiled evilly and the medallion purred with the pleasure of my master plan.


We have returned after salvaging all the parts from the wreckage. Adjutant began to examine the wreckage and I grinned darkly when I looked down on the long dead drones.

Cynder said “Why are these Nanoprobes so useful that you enjoy the thought of using them?”

I stopped and turned to them.

“Borg Nanoprobes has a special role for why the Borg is millions of creatures. The Nanoprobes assimilate any living being and turns them under the control of the collective. Due to this, those poor souls are under the control of the Hive Mind. Adjutant will be the Hive Mind Queen, since they will need a robotic android to control them.” I explained to them.

Adjutant said “I-I’m honored, my liege.”

I began to leave with Cynder. When we left, Cynder came up next to me.

Cynder asked “You don’t trust her, do you?”

I chuckled and replied “Not one bit. That is why I downloaded a failsafe devise inside her mind. If she tries to order my death, she automatic shuts down and reprogram to remain faithfully loyal to me. So, she can’t turn against me.”

Cynder said “Nice plan. So, when will we use them against the Zebras?”

“When Adjutant managed to reprogram the Nanoprobes and we put them into that transport missile. We will target every Zebra town, city, etc. We will become the greatest power to have ever existed.”

Cynder said “Sounds like a plan to me.”

“Soon, I’ll have an army of slaves that Sombra could only dream of!” I shouted and then began to laugh evilly.


Meanwhile with Lightning Dust…

Lightning said with hate “Damn Danny and his Consortium! He’s always getting stronger and what of me? He refuses to send me and my Shadowbolts to combat! We promise revenge against Rainbow and that is what I’m going to get!”

Lightning began to think of a way to get her revenge but she came up with a new idea.

Lightning said, full of venom and pleasure “I’ll take over when Danny is gone! Meta will follow me or he will die!”

She began to laugh out loud for her plan.
