Chapter 9: Rise of the King of Harmony

Chrysalis and Meta sign the Treaty with Celestia and Luna. However, when Meta finished signing his part of the treaty, his communicator began to beep under a Code Red Emergency Channel. Meta answers it, revealing another changeling that resembled to Rainbow Dash. The Princess, Mane 6, and Charming Thunder gasped at the Changeling's appearance. "This is Queen Dusk of the Primal Changelings to Meta, we have a problem," Dusk reported.

"What is it Dusk?" Meta replied.

"Lightning Dust has took control over the Consortium. She has already put her plans to motion and has mobilized the army to invade Equestria! This is an emergency code alpha red! All Loyalist who are still loyal to my father are to report to Equestria. The Nemesis is receiving the same code and Father will be alerted about the change of development."

"How much do we have before Lightning strikes Equestria?"

"A month, maybe more."

"Metamorphosis, you have a lot to explain to do," Celestia said.

"All will be explained later. For now, we must prepare for war."

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

The next day, a ceremony is being held in Canterlot as ponies from around the world participate. Twilight, Cadence, Luna and Celestia stood in front of the assembly as Celestia took a step forward and cleared her throat. "Mares and gentlecolts, we are gathered here today in celebration of a hero," Celestia said. "A hero who stood up against the forces of evil and saved countless lives dozens of times. He even saved my sister Luna at the start. But today, he has proven himself worthy to do what his father Sombra could've done. It is my great pleasure to present to you all, Charming Thunder, the new king of harmony." The doors opened to reveal Charming Thunder walking down the isle wearing a black cape as he was escorted by two red royal guards. He walked up the steps and knelt down in front of the princesses. Spike held a cushion with a metallic silver crown with a symbol that represents his cutie mark. Luna did the honors and levitated the crown then placed it on his head. He then stood up and turned to face the assembly as they cheered.

"Long live King Charming Thunder!!" they shouted. Charming Thunder along with the princesses walked to the balcony and the unicorn waved at the crowd as they cheered. He then raised his gloved hoof as the crowd grew silent.

Charming Thunder then cleared his throat and started his speech, "Citizens of Equestria. Yesterday, the Empire was victorious. Slade, no longer a threat. His desperate attack on the peaceful town of Ponyville has failed. The reign of terror is finally come to an end. My mother, a once proud queen has died and I intend to finish what she and my father started. Now is the time for peace and harmony." Army of soldiers wearing new kind of armor came out of the door and marched out of it. "Now is the time for safe and securer society." The crowd applauds as Charming Thunder raised his gloved hoof and the army continued to march. A squadron of TIE Bombers flew over the castle and deployed fireworks in the sky as the crowd continue to cheer. It was an emotional day for everyone in Equestria as Cadence walked up to him and gave him a hug.

"I am so proud of you, little brother," Cadence said as she broke the hug. Charming Thunder noticed a tear falling down her cheek and smiled.

"Are you crying, sis?" Cadence then wiped her tears and smiled.

"Of course not, its tears of joy. It is a different thing." Charming Thunder laughed as Twilight and Light stood beside him. Applejack, Rainbow, Pinkie, Fluttershy, and Rarity along with the Cutie Mark Crusaders.

"Way to go, Charming," Rainbow said.

"We love ya, Charming," Applejack said. The group then gathered for a group hug.

"Me too, everyone. Me too." Charming Thunder then turned to his daughter and walked up to her. "You have done something brave yesterday. I thank you for it."

"It was my pleasure, dad," Light said as she bowed to him.

"So what happens now?" Applebloom asked.

Charming Thunder turned to Pinkie and said, "Why don't we have a party back at the castle in Ponyvile once the celebration here ends." His friends then nodded as they walked with him out of the room.

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

Outside of the Canterlot castle, the doors opened as a carriage carried by pegasus royal guards with Charming Thunder on it. He waved to the crowd as TIE Fighters flew over their heads and fireworks popped in the sky. Music played as the carraige continued to move past the isle of the crowd. On the roof of the castle, the spirit of Sombra watched as the carriage carried his son away. Starswirl appeared next to him then Amidala as they looked at each other and smiled.
