Charming Thunder's interceptor landed in the castle hangar and R4 was the first to pop out of the ship. Charming Thunder walked through the hall back to the room where the meeting was held. When he entered, he saw Discord having tea with Celestia as they had a discussion. The dragonques noticed the unicorn and said, "Nice to see you again, Charmy."

"I trust that you have a report about the cult?" Celestia asked.

"Yes and--" Charming Thunder said as he was interrupted by a floating tea cup and a teapot pouring tea into it.

"Have some tea while we talk about it," Discord said. 

Charming Thunder levitated the cup as he continued. "It appears that the pony you have in the dungeon was the leader." Celestia was surprised and disappointed that she had wasted his nephew's time.

"I...I didn't know that till now. I'll gather everyone else while you and Discord wait here." Princess Celestia walked out of the room and left Charming Thunder and Discord alone in the room.

"So...how's your newborn child?" Discord asked.

"Fine. Thanks for asking. She almost looks a lot like Twilight and has my eyes." The conversation ended when the doors opened and everyone including Twilight entered. "That was fast." He then walked up to Twilight and gave her a hug.

"How are things?" she asked.

"We have already captured the leader and now we are discussing our next step." He and Twilight Sparkle then sat on their separate chairs and the meeting began to resume.

"As you are all aware, Charming Thunder has returned," Celestia announced. "There is however a problem. The leader of the cult was already taken and is in the dungeon right now. I apologize if I have wasted your time, nephew."

"It wasn't a problem."

"So what do we do now?" Amira asked. "Do we just send a squad down and take the rest in?"

"No. I believe that--" Celestia interrupted when the ground began to shake as a large ship began to pass Canterlot.

A guard entered the room and reported, "We have a large cruiser passing through but we have no ID on who it is." Charming Thunder, Twilight, Luna, Celestia, and Cadence got up from their chairs and looked out of a window to see the ship with gun batteries on the front, sides, and the stern slowly passing through.

"Lord Tirek and Malgus were allies in my cause," a voice said. "But their deaths won't delay what is coming."

Celestia's eyes widened as she remembered the voice before, "Its him," she said. "Regal Crescent." A huge holo projection of a stallion wearing a damaged mask and armor appeared. "Trace that transmission."

"Yes, your highness." The guard then ran off as the others gathered to see Regal Crescent. The town also sees the holo as well.

"My army could've achieved so much. But I still have other weapons in my arsenal."

"You were reported dead," Cadence said. "Was that report wrong?"

"Only somewhat as you can see. When a goal is very important enough, one learns to overcome any obstacle."

The guard returned and reported, "We got the trace of this transmission."

"Why have you returned?" Charming Thunder asked. "Is it because of revenge?"

"You thought right, son of Sombra. I have been reborn, my mind is clearer, and my power has now been intensified. With the order under my command, I am unstoppable."

"You're saying that you are the leader of the order?" Luna asked.

"At first, they were a group of devotees wanting to serve me. To help me save Equestria from that dragonques you have on your side. I was a fool a thousand years ago to confront him. Death couldn't stop me as Discord could not break me. I will finish what I have started and you will not interfere again because now I have finally let my followers enter my world. A world that you will all soon be erased from." The hologram faded away as an explosion emitted from the dungeons.

"He's come for the prisoner!!" Celestia shouted. Charming Thunder along with the guards ran toward the dungeuon to stop the prisoner from escaping. When they got there, it was too late.

"She must be heading for a ship," Charming Thunder said. "I'll go after her and you try to lock it down." As he ran to the hangar, an alarm sounded and he entered the hanger to see the Firespray attack craft taking off. He threw a tracking beacon on the hull of the ship and let it leave the hangar.

As he returned to the meeting room, he looked around the room to see a chatter going on.The guard approached him as he reported, "The transmission came form the ship that passed by. What do you want us to do now, sir?"

"I have placed a tracking beacon on a ship that left the hangar and I want you to trace it to its location. And before you do that, try to get everypony in this room to calm down." The guard drew out his pistol and fired shots in the air. The chatter then became silent and turned to see Charming Thunder with anger in his eyes. The guard then left the room as Charming Thunder walked up to Discord and grabbed him by the beard. "YOU HAVE SOME EXPLAINING TO DO!!!"

"What?" Discord said. "I didn't bring him back from the dead. I tried before on somepony, but it wasn't a pretty picture. AND I DON'T LIKE DOING IT!!"

"Calm down you two," Twilight said. "Now that this madness is out of the way, why don't we just go back to our kingdoms and try to figure something out. Especialy YOU, Discord." Everyone in the room nodded and began to walk out of the room.
