Three days later after the disappearance of Phantom Lord, Charming Thunder was back at Ponyville as he looked at what remains of the Golden Oaks Library. He remembered the good times ever since he first met Twilight. He paid respects to the location and went back to the castle. When he arrived at the castle, he sees the Mane 5 Rainbow saw Charming Thunder and flew to him. "Charming, there's bad news," she said. "Twilight's missing." Shocked by this news, Charming Thunder's eyes widened in shock and ran past Rainbow and the others to Twilight's chambers to find that Twilight is actually not here. Angered with rage he used his teleportation spell to teleport to his chambers.
"How could this happen?" Charming Thunder said. "She was here before I left!!" He lowered his head for a couple seconds then smashed the vase next to him out of anger. He then began to feel funny and his legs began to shake. "What is happening to me?" He almost collapsed as something was happening inside him. Suddenly, wires popped out of his arms and he screamed to what is happening. The wires connected to the wrist and formed four metal claws. He closed his eyes as he felt pain then opened them to reveal red glowing eyes. His claws scratched the floor as his body began to take shape into something horrific. His muzzle stretched out into a metal snout that looks like a dog with sharp teeth. His hind hooves turned into metal legs which made him taller than a pony. His mane and tail disappeared as a tail popped out. He then stood up to do a robotic roar as he turned into a killing machine. It growled as it moved until the door opened. Pinkie and Fluttershy entered to see what the commotion was about.
"We heard noises in here," Fluttershy said. "Are you--" Fluttershy then gasped as the monster turned to her and growled. It then stepped up closer to her and Pinkie. It then roared at them which made them scream loudly. The monster then jumped out of the window and made a run for it.
---------------------
Panic erupted in the streets of Ponyville as the metal creature attacked. He scared off ponies and took down food stands as he roared. He then made a run for it deep into the Everfree forest. It was then stopped by Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. "Whatever you are, creature," Celestia said. "I order you to--" She was interrupted when the creature roared at the princesses and began to charge at them. Luna was quick enough to blast it towards a big tree which caused it to collapse on it. The Mane 5 arrived to the scene as they saw what happened. Twivine sat on a branch of a tree not seen as she watched.
"Now this is interesting," Twivine said. "A monster who almost looks familiar to me."
"What was that thing?" Luna asked.
"It's not a thing," Fluttershy said. "Its...its..."
"Its Charming Thunder!!" Rainbow said.
"What?!" Luna gasped. A metal arm popped out of the collapsed tree and the monster popped out with a growl. It then leaps in the air and lands in front of the princesses then attacks Celestia pushing her aside. It then turned to Luna and jumped behind her and tried to scratch her. Luna dodged the attacks without hurting it. It then uppercuts her and she impacts a tree trunk and slides to the ground. When she looks up at it, the machine grabs her by the neck as it hissed.
"My favorite part of the game; sudden death," Twivine said. The monster lifts Luna up from the ground as he readied his strike. A magic blast hits it from Celestia which caused it to shut down and collapse on its back. Luna walked up to it but stopped to see it revert back to Charming Thunder. He is now unconscious and Luna decides to carry him back to the castle. "Well it was fun while it lasted. Its up to Omega now to get those friends of Twilight's."
---------------------
Charming Thunder was floating adrift in a dark void. He slowly opened his eyes and looked around until a flash appeared. "Okay," Charming Thunder said a little scared and confused. "First, I get transformed into a werewolf robot. And now I wake up in this void. WHAT THE HEY IS GOING ON HERE!!!" A flash of light then appeared and a necklace with his cutie mark with a shade of green on one of the triangles floated towards him. It was one of the Elements of Harmony, but Charming Thunder wondered why. A creepy seductive voice was then heard after the element wrapped around his neck.
"Charming Thunder, you are now the bearer of the Element of Courage," the voice said. "It represents that you protect others including your family. It will help you control the beast you transformed into."
"Who are you?" The voice then revealed himself in front of him. She is an alicorn with light blue coat, blue and white mane and tail, and has a heart with a rose on the left and a moon crest on the right as her cutie mark.
"I am Molestia Moon."
---------------------
Charming Thunder began to wake up in his bed as Luna noticed that he is now awake. "Charming!!" she shouted as he gave Charming Thunder a tight hug. "Thank goodness you're awake."
"Can't--breathe," Charming Thunder gasped. Luna then releases him and smiled at him. "What happened? The last thing I knew was that I was angry that Twilight is missing."
"And that you attacked Ponyville as that werewolf like robot."
"Any casualties?"
"None. Its fine now."
"I just experienced something while I was knocked out."
"What is it? Something bad?"
"Nothing that bad. Except that I became a bearer of the Element of Courage." Luna gasped at the news.
"How is that possible?"
"I don't know. But I believe that its the same was as Danny got his Element of Nightmares. Speaking of Danny, has he been found yet?"
"Unfortunately no."
"I see." Charming Thunder then yawned and looked out of the window to see that it is nigh time. "Perhaps I should get some more rest."
"Agreed. Perhaps I should leave you to it." Luna then kissed Charming Thunder on the forehead and was about to leave the room.
"You know. You have taken care of me since my mother died. I am glad that you are just like a mom." Luna blushed as she turned to face Charming Thunder.
"I am glad too. Goodnight, Charming." Charming Thunder then tucked himself in into his bed sheets and lays his head on his pillow and began to fall back to sleep.
