Phantom War IV: Return of the Phantom Consortium

by Danny Eclipse


The Alliance Ends: The Warning

Meanwhile…

Dusk had sense what had transpired and managed to get closed to the throne room and that was she heard Charming say-

“…Inform the soldiers to track down the Eclipse. If we are lucky, we would bring in Rainbow Dash."

"If she is his prisoner," Celestia said.

"Not a prisoner. I sensed compassion for Danny in her during our meeting. As for the Phantom Consortium and Lightning Dust, they will answer to me." Charming replied.

Dusk was shocked and knew of the treason. She used a teleportation spell and managed to appear on the Eclipse’s bridge.

Duran said “Queen Dusk-“

Dusk ordered “Tell all units to withdraw. Tell them…The Equestrian Empire has plan to attack my father! Oh, and tell them that if the Equestrian Empire follows…kill them. They have crossed the line.”

Duran asked “Are you sure?”

Dusk said “I sense anger and I have figured that Charming wants Danny alive. Inform Trypticon and the Elements of Insanity of this treason.”

Duran nods and goes to inform the crew of the change. Dusk, full of anger, decides to use her triumphed card. Use the Elements of Harmony against Charming…


Charming looked outside on a balcony and sees the armies of the Phantom Consortium making a full retreat. Twilight had arrived with the other elements, except for Rainbow. Charming looked at them and smiled to see them. However, it was short lived when their expressions turned to anger. Charming was shocked to see this and so was the other princesses.

Twilight demanded “What’s going on!? Why was there a purple beam of energy that hit the Super Star Destroyer!?”

Charming replied “Danny tried to kill Lightning. I defended her and Danny attacked me for it. In the end, he managed to beat me and take Lightning. Rainbow left to go with Danny and I believe that Danny must answer for his crimes-“

There was a flash of light and Dusk appeared in front of the mane 5. Charming was surprised as were the princesses.

Dusk said “You dare charge my father crimes for trying to end that traitor’s life!?”

Charming said “Dusk, you must see reason…”

Dusk replied “No! All I see is my Uncle trying to arrest my father for doing what he thought was right! He was angry to find out that Lightning took over the Consortium while he was gone for his quest!”

Charming replied “You know, you are turning traitor on us now…”

Dusk said “I never signed a deal with you! My loyalties lie with my father! I came here to give you a warning…”

Charming asked “What warning?”

Dusk warned dead seriously “If you follow the Phantom Consortium, I promise you that we will enter a war that the Equestrian Empire will lose! We have powerful allies that back us up and we aren’t afraid to ask for their aid! And need I remind you that Meta is one of the Phantom Consortium Generals! If you go into a war with us…The Changelings won’t back you up. Well, Meta’s half of a hive won’t. Chrysalis may but she knows of Danny’s great power…and fears it. I doubt she would want to fight Danny. So, admit it Charming, you are outclass and outnumber in this war.”

Dusk teleported away. She knew that saying that, Charming will be forced to NOT enter war. She wasn’t lying and Charming knew the Phantom Consortium is resourceful. She hoped that war could be avoided.


The next day…

At the border line of Equestria and the Griffin Lands…

Dusk was on the bridge with Duran. The door opened and she looks and see both Danny and Rainbow there.

“What has happened?” I asked.

Dusk replied, dead serious “Charming was planning for treason.”

“He was what!?”

Dusk replied “Treason. Charming wants you to be sentence to justice.”

Unicron said within my mind “I knew Charming was a threat. We should have killed him when we had the chance.”

“I spared his life! He should be thankful for that!”

Rainbow replied “I know…”

“Rainbow?”

Rainbow said “I’m loyal to you, my love. Charming crossed the line when he sentence that.”

“What about-“

Dusk said “Don’t worry, Team Insanity and the rest of the Phantom Consortium was informed about the change of events. I warned Charming that if he came after us, he will suffer great losses and we will enter war.”

“I did my best to stay out of it. But I guess Charming can’t help himself.” I said, angry.

The door opened and the EOI came and so did Cynder.

Cynder asked “My Lord, are you alright?”

“Yes I am. Rainbow, this is Cynder. She is my housecarl, my personal bodyguard. Cynder, this is my love, Rainbow Dash of the Element of Loyalty.”

Cynder said “Nice to meet you Rainbow.”

Rainbow replied “Likewise Cynder-“

There was beeping and I looked on the monitor. Far behind us was a small fleet of Star Destroyers.

Dusk said “Charming must be wondering where we are going.”

“Too bad they won’t live to tell about it. I’m going to use Trypticon. They will tell him why I’m a God and he isn’t.”

I teleported and Dusk kept the monitor on the fleet, amused to see what Trypticon is about to do to them.


I teleported into Trypticon’s main computer core and took over Trypticon. I had the Nemesis cut off from the fleet and I discovered a transmission. Charming and the Admiral of the fleet was talking…

Admiral said on transmission “King Charming, The Nemesis has broken from the formation…and heading towards us!”

Charming ordered “Hail it.”

Admiral opened the new channel “Attention Nemesis, state your-“

“MY NAME IS TRYPTICON, METAL TITAN OF THE PHANTOM CONSORTIUM!! NOW CHARMING THUNDER, I AM LISTENING TO YOUR TRANSMISSION, HEAR WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DARE TRY TO ATTACK MY CREATOR AND MASTER, DANNY ECLIPSE!!!” I replied in Trypticon’s voice.

Trypticon transformed into his true form.

Admiral said in disbelief “What the-That ship is a giant metal lizard in disguise!?”

1 of the officer said “Admiral and my King, the armor on that thing is-exactly the same armor that was on the Death Stars!!”

Admiral said “That thing’s metal is the exact metal from both Death Stars!?”

I used Trypticon’s missiles and destroyed the first ship. 3 more left…I jumped up and used my tail and slammed it down to destroy another ship.

Admiral shouted “That thing is too powerful for our ships!! Retreat-“

I opened Trypticon’s mouth and a bunch of dark energy bolts hit another ship, leaving the Admiral’s ship.

Admiral said “That thing-“

I grabbed the last ship and used my communication’s systems to hack into the transmission.

“You underestimate me Charming.” I said on the transmission. “You should have stayed away and forget the alliance. The Alliance is officially ended. And you now know that my powers are greater than you imagine.”

Charming said “Danny, you must answer for your crimes…for attack me.”

“I was showing mercy to you because you were my brother! But now I see; your pathetic ideals will turn Equestria into a barren wasteland if you continue to come after me, just like Cybertron. You will be the cause and I’ll be the solution. If you come after me, then you will deserve no less than the oblivion I will bring to you. Rethink your action brother, I spared you the first time we crossed blades, I won’t be as merciful as last time. I’ll be merciless next time. You don’t know how much it pained me to kill these innocent lives Charming, just to show you that my power is greater than yours and I should never be underestimated. Good-bye Charming Thunder…”

Charming said “Danny, wait-“

I used Trypticon’s hands to crush the ship into dust, ending the transmission and killing those innocents. I programmed Trypticon to regroup with the fleet. I teleport back to the bridge of the Eclipse.

“I hope Charming heeds my warning…I hate to kill my own brother.” I said, miserably.

Rainbow replied “I’m sure he will understand. Even he knows when he is outmatched.”
