Chapter 5: Encounter

The next day, Charming Thunder was mediating on the floor, Danny was on his head and he looked bored. "Why are you doing that?" Danny asked. "Keep that up and you're going to be as bad as those monks I heard that mediate like this."

"I'm trying to think about something," Charming Thunder said.

"You are, in a way. But your brainwave activity barely even spikes, so that means that you aren't thinking about a lot or something is bothering you." Charming Thunder sighed, he knew there was nothing past Danny's eye. When Charming Thunder was about to answer when he felt Twilight's frustration and a spike of Equestrian magic. He opened his eyes, the force had his armor and lightsaber go into his backpack without Danny noticing, and darted out the tent with it on.

"Hey, where are you going!?" Danny shouted from inside the tent before he got out and gave chase.

---------------------

Charming Thunder and Danny arrived and saw the boat had crashed into the newly made dock. Danny was looking around until his cybernetic eye stopped at something. When Charming Thunder came into close proximity to Twilight, they felt the ripple once more. They looked around until they both looked into the forest and sees a shadow moving away from the scene and Danny was helping the people out. Charming Thunder looked at Twilight, who nodded and went after it.

---------------------

Charming Thunder had put his armor and helmet on was running down the path. That is when he began to feel the dark side spike. He looked and see a white hooded figure approach Gloriosa; who was on the ground. He jumped down and grabbed his lightsaber, activating it. The figure stopped and Charming Thunder took a fighting stance. Then, the figure turned around and Charming Thunder saw the same glowing red eyes from within the shadows of the hood looking at him. "Step back, CT," the hooded figure said, which made Charming Thunder mad about that both this figure had filtered his voice to makes it impossible to know who it was, a he or she.

"How about you make me?" Charming Thunder said as he activated his lightsaber.

"Alright, let me show you my power when you mess with Darth Nox." Nox began to slowly step towards Charming. Then, the figure began to charge at Charming. Charming Thunder charged at him and when he thought that Nox was just a pushover, a lightsaber came from Nox's right sleeve and Nox activated, revealing a green with a black core blade. Their blades clashed in a powerful strike. The figure began to slash at Charming Thunder, who was dodging and blocking the attacks. Charming Thunder, then, went to the offensive and punched the figure a few times then knocked the figure forward. Charming Thunder tried use a force choke, but Nox managed to avoid it by flipping to the side and charged forward in a blur. Charming Thunder and Nox began to clash blades, shockwave after shockwave was created. "You having fun?" Nox said. "Because I am."

"Don't mock me!" Charming Thunder tried to enhance his strikes with force push, but Nox managed to prevent the strikes from hitting. Charming Thunder finally had it and force pushed the figure away. However, Nox landed on the first tree and was literally standing on it, shocking Charming Thunder completely. The shockwave of the force push had shattered the bark on the tree, but Nox was still standing on it.

"Time to blow you into the water!" Nox jumped towards Charming Thunder and fired a powerful force push and made Charming Thunder fly backwards into the water.

---------------------

Everyone, including Danny, had finally managed to get the boat back to shore. However, they heard a shockwave and everyone looked, seeing the armored Charming Thunder flying to shore and he began to roll and landed on the ground with a thud. "Charming!" Twilight and the other girls shouted and began to rush to him, but was stopped by purple lightning flying around them.

Danny gasped and began to back off as he said, "It's Darth Nox!" The people began to shiver in fear and they heard footsteps, everyone looked and see Darth Nox coming out of the forest, his lightsaber in hand.

"Had enough yet?" Nox said. Charming began to get up, his helmet broken off completely. Charming Thunder was scowling in anger. Charming activated his lightsaber and the force shook in his position, Charming Thunder was serious now.

"Not even close," Charming Thunder said. The figure fired balls of lightning at him while he replied with force pushes. Nox dodged Charming Thunder's last attack and fired a stream of lightning at him. Charming Thunder blocked it with his lightsaber then jumped to slam a slash at Nox. Nox flipped backwards then Charming Thunder charged. The two clashed blades together, both perfectly countering each other like they were master swordsmen. Once they finished, the two backed off. The two stared before Nox put away his lightsaber.

"You're a good opponent Charming Thunder. We will see each other, very soon. I'll be closer than you may think." A small black tornado surrounded Nox before Charming Thunder and the others could stop it, the black tornado dissipate and Nox was gone.

"He's gone!!" Pinkie shouted and began to look just in case and found no trace. "He's even better than Trixie at disappearing!" Trixie huffed in annoyance.

"He's no more than just a simple Trixie wannabe!" Trixie said.

"Told you he was real," Danny said. Twilight and the others didn't care and went to Charming Thunder to see if he was alright. He wondered why Nox was after Gloriosa in the first place. He got up when he saw Twilight run off into the forest. He used the force to heal himself up and then ran after her.
