Phantom War V: Dawning of Darkness

by Danny Eclipse


Meeting with Thirteen and Phantom

Two days later…

I was in Ponyville. I was bored and I’ve been having races with Rainbow and Rainbine to try to entertain me but I always won because of my incredible speed. I had been having to do several things. Grievous was mobilizing the army so I couldn’t do that. I thought about hanging with Charming and the others but Charming went to Canterlot. I needed something to past the time. Then, the thought occur to me. Why not race against my mentor who taught me to be fast? I smiled and also decided to make this more worth my wild. I went to go get Rainbow and Rainbine, it was time to see who truly is the fastest.


Rainbow and Rainbine were with me after some time of getting to find them.

Rainbow asked “What’s this about a race to see who is the fastest?”

“I’ve decided to call two old friends of mine to come here into Equestria and to test our speed. Now, to summon them…” I replied in simple.

Rainbine asked “Who are they?”

I raised my hoof in the air and a green circle appeared in the air.

“I call forth Johnny 13 and Danny Phantom!”

After a few seconds, two figures came out of the portal. One of the figures was a human teenager. He wore a white shirt, grey jacket, and wore a necklace with a skull on it. He had a motorcycle with him and he was on it. The other figure was a teenager or kid from the looks of it. He held some resemblance to me but he was a human. The figure had a black and white suit, white hair, black eye brows, and neon green eyes. They looked around in curious but then they see me and smiled.

Phantom said “Danny Eclipse, it’s good to see you again. It’s been too long.”

“Danny Phantom, I’m sorry. I’ve been busy leading an empire and waging a war.”

Johnny asked curiously “So why you called us dude?”

“How about a race to Canterlot?”

Johnny asked “No holds bar?”

“None whatsoever.”

Johnny shouted, accepting the challenge “You’re on!”

Phantom said “Alright, sounds like a prepared race.”

I smiled and we got ready to start the race. We got into our start position and prepared to race.

“Ready? GO!!!”

We took off in a dash, heading to Canterlot.


Meanwhile in the Mirror Room in the Crystal Empire…

The fake mirror was normal until it began to glow. Suddenly, it began to glow brightly. When the glowing stopped, there was a single figure there. He looked like a stallion but wasn’t flesh and blood. He was more to the wiring and mechanical parts stallion. His coat was Black, his mane was Dark Green and his tail was Dark Grey. The Stallion also had a Unicorn Horn and Black Bat-like Wings. The door opened, two guards, Shining Armor, and Cadance was there, looking at him. The robot stallion opened its eyes, they had circle of whiteness for pupils and there was eyes in there, they were slit, like Nightmare Moon’s eyes, but they were Dark Green. Outside the white circle was blackness. The metal stallion’s teeth were sharp. When the stallion moved, it sounded like gears whirling. It got up and looked at them. It looked confused at them and when it spoke, it sounded like the FNAF ‘screech’. Thinking it was a threat, the guards aimed their blasters at it. The metal stallion was alarmed and it closed its eyes. Then the eyes opened, revealing black soulless eyes with small round white pupils. The stallion bared it’s sharp teeth. It opened its mouth and it released a creepy laugh. They were creep out about that laugh.

The Stallion struggle speaking normally and said “Where…. is…. the…. Purple…. Guy…."

When it spoke, it had strain itself to speak normally. It began to twitch its head at random.

Shining asked in horror “Who are you talking about?”

The Stallion replied, eye color kept changing colors “She murdered usshe betrayed uswe trusted her and she murdered uswe want revenge…”

They gasped. They heard the voices of Twilight, Rainbow, Fluttershy, and Pinkie speaking in cold vengeance.

Cadance asked in horror “Wha-What are you?”

The Stallion replied coldly “We are spiritsWe are the lost souls of the Mane 6But our body is known as Dark MetalWe haunt this body to hunt down Starlight…”

They heard Rarity’s voice in that talk.

Shining suggested “We need to call for the Mane 6…”

Cadance agreed “Yeah…”


We arrived in Canterlot and we were running around the place. I was laughing, the thrill was lively. I was in the lead with Johnny 13 and Rainbow behind me, both neck to neck.

“Yo Johnny! You’ve gotten slower!”

Johnny shouted back “Oh yeah!? Shadow, get him!”

Instantly, Johnny’s shadow left him and formed into a large black shadow ghost with green eyes. I smiled and began to go faster. Shadow kept following closely to me.

“Catch me if you can!”

I perform my Phantom Boom, leaving my trail behind me. Shadow accepted the challenge and began to go faster. I was approaching the castle until I see Charming and Twilight with someone else. I smirked and came to a stop in front of them.

“Duck.” I said simply.

Charming asked “Why-“

I made them duck and Shadow zipped past our heads. I laughed as we got back up.

“Nice try Shadow! You’ll have to do better!”

Shadow came back and began to float in the air. Twilight was freaked out to see it, Charming went into a fighting stance, and the pony looked like she had seen a monster. Shadow looked at me and dived down to me. Charming got ready until I smiled and both me and Shadow did a high five.

“You’ve improved a bit Shadow.”

Shadow smirked with the comment and we heard Johnny 13’s bike coming to a halt. We looked and see Johnny, Rainbow, Rainbine, and Danny had stopped. Johnny got off his bike and walked over to me.

Johnny said “Dude, we need to race more often. Most of us have nothing to do except fighting Phantom.”

Phantom replied, a bit annoyed “You know, I can hear you, right?”

“Calm down Danny, but yes, sorry for not visiting. I’ve been ruling an empire and fighting in wars.”

Charming asked “Uh…Danny? Who are these two?”

“Oh yeah. Charming Thunder, Twilight, and…”

The Pony replied “Moon Dancer.”

“…Moon Dancer- Wait, where have I heard that name before…oh yeah! Anyway, this is Johnny 13 and Danny Phantom, my mentors for Speed and Ghost Powers.”

Charming asked “So Johnny 13 taught you how to fly at hypersonic speeds and Danny Phantom taught you how to use your Ghost Powers?”

“Pretty much. Anyway, Johnny 13 and Danny Phantom, this is Charming Thunder; My brother, Twilight Sparkle; Charming’s Wife and Element of Magic, and Moon Dancer; Twilight’s old study pal.”

Twilight demanded “Wait, how you know that!?”

“Dusk.”

That was enough to make Twilight say “oooohhhh” before blushing.

Twilight asked “She looked in my memories, didn’t she?”

“Yup and I saw everything. Still, I was surprised you deny Moon Dancer’s invitation…but then again, if you didn’t then Nightmare Moon would have taken over all of Equestria and shrouded it into eternal night.”

Moon Dancer asked “Wait, Twilight had to make a choice?”

“Yes. It was either your party or Equestria. She chose Equestria because if the sun disappeared then the world would change forever.”

Moon Dancer said “Oh, I see…”

“Give me a second, I need to think.”

I sat down and closed my eyes. An invisible clone left my back and dived into the ground. The Clone went into Moon Dancer but didn’t possess her, just look into her memories and sees what happened through her life since the Nightmare Moon incident. The Clone returned back into me and I see what had happened. I breathe in and out and opened my eyes.

“My, my, my, we have an old Twilight in front of us. With all of that isolation, no wonder you didn’t have friends.”

Moon Dancer demanded “Wha- How did you know!?”

“I have my ways, you know.”

Twilight asked “What did you do? It was more than sitting to think.”

“A Halfa never reveals his or her secrets. Still, wasn’t that rude to pop the silence bubble that Twilight made?”

Twilight threaten “Start talking or I see into your mind.”

Johnny threatened “Attempt it and I’ll have Shadow grant you complete bad luck.”

I chuckle when Twilight was steaming off heat.

“Anyway, so what are you going to do Charming?”

Charming said “Well, she is my fan…”

“I know! Take her as your padawan!”

Moon Dancer asked “What’s a padawan?”

“It’s a Jedi replacement name for Apprentice. Sith use the word though, not Jedi. I don’t understand that at all…”

A familiar echoing voice said “Hey everypony, we got- Moon Dancer?”

We looked and see Brutalight coming down. AssSpike appeared next to Brutalight and nobody but me knew who AssSpike was.

Moon Dancer said, shocked and confused “What the- Two Twilights?”

“Not exactly. Moon Dancer, meet Brutalight Sparcake, Leader of the Elements of Insanity-“

Brutalight finished “-And the pony formally known as Twilight Sparkle.”

“Wait, what?”

Brutalight replied “We came from a different universe. A place known as Gmod. It was Discord who brought us to Equestria. The EOI were formally known as the Elements of Harmony.”

“That explains a lot then…”

Charming asked “Who the Dragon/Pony Hybrid?”

AssSpike replied, making his tone sound like it was hurt “You don’t recognize me? I’m hurt Charming…but if you want my name, you can call me AssSpike. I was the baby Dragon formally known as Spike.”

They gasped except for me and Brutalight.

Twilight asked, shocked “Spike? What happened to you?”

Brutalight interrupted “The talk will have to wait. We got a message from Princess Cadance. Some sort of robot stallion who calls himself appeared in the mirror room from the replica mirror. He claims to be known as Dark Metal and he is hunting down somepony known as Starlight Glimmer, you know her by any chance?”

Me, Twilight’s, and Charming’s eyes narrowed in shock.

“Why would he be hunting Starlight Glimmer?”

Brutalight answered “Something about wanted for murder of six victims.”

Charming asked “Why should we help him?”

Brutalight answered “Cadance claims that Dark Metal is possessed and haunted by the six souls of those murdered.”

Twilight asked “Why are these six important?”

Brutalight replied “Because the souls so happened to be the Mane 6.”

Me, Twilight, and Charming replied in unison, completely shocked “WHAT!?!”

Brutalight explained “Dark Metal spoke in Twilight’s, Fluttershy’s, Pinkie’s, Rainbow’s, and Rarity’s voices. They assume that Applejack’s soul is inside him as well.”

Before we could continue, Celestia came down to us.

Celestia said to Twilight and Charming in a calm but firm voice “Twilight, Charming, I want to talk to you alone. It’s about Nyx…”

Twilight and Charming nodded and they left with Celestia. I looked at Johnny 13 and Danny.

“Time for you two to leave.”

They nodded and I opened a portal and they left.

Moon Dancer asked, wanting to be confirmed for my reasons of the suggestion “Are you certain that I’m worthy for Charming’s training?”

“Of course. I see the potential in you, you are worthy. See you around Moon Dancer.”

I waved before I teleported away.


I appeared in the Crystal Temple.

‘It’s time that I found a new apprentice of my own. But who? I know, the force can tell me.’ I thought.

I sat down to mediate, using the force to locate a pony worthy for my training.
