The fleet that left to fight at Cloudsdale has returned to Ponyville to settle a score with Rainbow Dash. Fighters flew out of the star destroyers and landed at the Flight school hangar. The shuttle that was carrying Rainbow hostage landed at the tent where Celestia stays as Charming Thunder landed next to it. When the ramp of the shuttle opened, the two pegasi were escorting Rainbow Dash in chains to a cell where Charming Thunder can confront her and use his memory spell on her. He followed the group as they threw her in the cell. He then entered the cell and gestured them to leave him be. He then levitated his helmet off of his head and started to walk up to Rainbow Dash. His horn then glowed and started to lean towards her to let his horn impact her forehead. Rainbow then started screaming due to the impact of the spell that has been cast on her and she was knocked out again in result. He exited her cell and said to the guards, "When she wakes up, let her out and escort her to me."
"Yes, sir," the guard said as he saluted to him. While he was walking to his tent, Scootaloo started to run to him a lot worried since she hard the news about Rainbow Dash.
"Where is she?" she asked. "Where's Rainbow Dash? Is she alright?"
Charming Thunder smiled and said, "Don't worry, squirt. She's fine. She just needs some rest. I just casted a memory spell on her. Give her time to recover and you will see her. I promise." Scootaloo then started crying and hugged Charming Thunder.
---------------------
Princess Celestia was outside of her tent looking at the giant ship being constructed. She grew a little worried about Luna and her faithful student Twilight Sparkle. "I know," Charming Thunder said. "I miss them too. We'll get them back. I promise you, Aunt Celestia.
"Thank you, nephew," Celestia said wiping a tear.
A unicorn rushed to the group and said, "Charming Thunder, you have an incoming transmission from Princess Cadence."
"Send it to my holo terminal. I'l talk to her there." He then entered his tent to talk to his sister Cadence. He pressed the blinking button on the terminal and it revealed Cadence. "It is great to see your face again, sister."
"It sure is, little brother," Cadence replied. "Nice outfit. You made it yourself?"
"With a little help from Rarity yes. The helmet wasn't easy to make though. What is the reason you called?"
"I called to give you information an a starship prototype that is being made. It is called the TIE Phantom."
"Sounds interesting. Go on."
"I received word that the blueprints are being held at at the castle of the two sisters."
"Thats at the other side of the Everfree forest. And what do you want me to do about it?"
"I need you to steal those plans so that the Crystal Empire can help you make an invasion force to attack Canterlot."
"What about you?"
"I am undercover for the New Lunar Republic because if my husband found out that I am on your side, I don't know what he'll do."
"I'll help you and then come to the Crystal Empire."
"Thank you, brother. I'll see you once your mission is over." The transmission ended and Charming Thunder decided to take off his costume because he had a plan to sneak into the ancient castle where Nightmare Moon was redeemed by Twilight Sparkle and her friends. He displayed his costume on a mannequin that Rarity gave him and as he left the tent, he saw Rainbow Dash heading his way. "Hey, Rainbow. How are ya' feeling?"
"Fine," Rainbow said. "Have you seen Scootaloo? I need to see her. I have been away from her for a long time."
"She's inside the tent where the princess is. She was worried sick about you."
"Thanks." Rainbow then hugged Charming Thunder and started to head to the tent where he pointed to. He then continued to walk to the trail of the Everfree forest until Octavia walked next to him.
"Hey," Octavia said. "Where are you going?"
"My sister has given me a mission to go to the castle of the two sisters to steal plans to a starfighter called a TIE Phantom."
"But thats at the other side of the forest. Besides, you can get lost while you're in there."
"Don't worry, Octy. I'll be find. I have my lightsaber in case anything goes wrong." He then walked ahead of her as he came up to the forest.
"Good luck, Charming Thunder."
"You, too." He then walked into the forest and his quest to the ancient castle has now begun.
---------------------
Charming Thunder has been walking through the forest for hours. He decided to stop to take a break until he came across a Lunar Republic guard alone in his camp. He then his behind the bush so that he can avoid his attention. He also saw the castle he was looking for. He thought about how to get inside undetected then an idea hatched inside his head. "If I take out that guard. I can hide the body and take his uniform, sneak in, and take the plans. It will be easy." He slowly moved to the other side where the guard was standing. He looked around to make sure that he is really alone. He then grabbed the guard and dragged him to the bush he was hiding in. The guard struggled to break free from his grasp but it was too late. Charming Thunder had a blaster pointed to his head and shot him. He then took the guards outfit and puts it on. He got out of the bush and started heading to the castle. There were two guards at the bridge making sure that no one enters the castle. They noticed one of the guards and allowed him to cross.
---------------------
Once Charming Thunder was inside the castle, he saw a lot of soldiers patrolling everywhere making sure that there are no intruders. He then hid in the corner and tried to look for the room where they keep important things. He looked at every door to see if there are any guards. He saw one door guarded and said to himself, "That must be the place where the blueprints are stored." He then walked to the door and the guards blocked the door. "I have orders from Princess Twilight to view patrol that room," he said. The two guards looked at each other and nodded in agreement and moved out of his way. He was finally inside the room he was looking for. In the room was a computer where it stores very important information. He then sat on the chair and started searching for the TIE Phantom plans. "Ugh. Nothing yet. Just some journal entries about the last meeting the NLR had." He then found what he was looking for. The picture displayed what the ship looked like. It states that they are a new type of stealth fighters and they plan to use it for surprise attacks. He pressed a button on the terminal and viewed a demonstration of the fighter using the cloaking ability. He then pressed another button to get the blueprints and a holo disk popped out of the slot. He levitated the disk and puts it in the saddlebag he had since he took out the guard to get the uniform. When he was about to leave, an alarm has been triggered. He left the room to escape the enemy base until the guard saw him and started firing his blaster at him. He took cover behind the wall and readied his blaster. He popped out of cover and blasted the guard in the chest. The guard then fell out of the window that was next to him. He took off his helmet and started running back to Ponyville. As he ran across the bridge, he shot the two guards that were posted there and ran past them. His mission to steal blueprints for Cadence has been complete. Once he lost the enemy, he continued to head back to Ponyville.
