Chapter 8: Meeting the Creators of the Elements of Harmony

Omega Brony returned to the Tree of Harmony with Twivine turned away not knowing that he has returned. "Omega, have you completed what I asked?" Twivine demanded.

"Yes, your highness," Omega replied. "Twilight's friends are here. But why do I sense something more to our success."

"I just watched a mechanical werewolf attack the princesses. And its identity appears to be Charming Thunder."

"Are you certain?"

"It was him. This may be an opportunity we cannot let pass. With his friends as our new allies, we will be unstoppable."

"So that we can take his power then?"

"Perhaps. If he knows who kidnapped them. Be patient, my loyal friend. For now, bring me Charming's friends so we can begin their transformation."

Omega knelled down to Twivine as he said, "As you wish, your highness."

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

A month and three in a half weeks later, Charming Thunder only gazed out of his throne room window after he heard that the Mane 5 have now gone missing. Spike was standing with him as he felt worried about them including Twilight. "What do you think happened to them?" Spike asked.

Charming Thunder sighed with a reply, "I'm not sure. But I think someone kidnapped them or something. I can't sense their presence or anything." Spike then placed his hand on Charming Thunder's leg and patted it. Charming Thunder then turned to him with a smile and softly rubbed his head. "Go on. I'm sure that you have things to attend to." Spike nodded and then made his way to the door to exit. "Spike?" Spike stopped after his name was called.

"Yes, Charming?" Charming Thunder then turned to face Spike and walked up to his throne.

"You care about Rarity, do you?"

"Her mostly along with my other friends. Why?"

"I know that you have been in love with her ever since you moved here before me. Twilight told me all about it and how you saved her from...well yourself."

"Oh. You heard about that, huh?" Spike blushed slightly. Charming Thunder only chuckled to himself after seeing him blush.

"It's not your fault you know. Spike, my point is; when the time is right, you must confess your feelings to her. I hope you trust my judgement, my scaly friend."

"Of course." Spike then bowed to Charming Thunder after the reply.

"Now go." Spike nodded and left the throne room and closed the door behind him. Charming Thunder then sat on his throne and began to think about his brother. He closed his eyes and took a breath when suddenly, he heard whispers calling out to him. One coming from a stallion then from a mare. He then got up from his chair and looked around to find the source of the whispers calling out to him. "Here I am."

"It is a pleasure to see you all grown up, grandson," the stallion said.

"We have watched you for many years ever since you were born," the mare added. Charming Thunder looked down to the ground to feel a chilling wind coming from behind him.

"Who are you?" Charming Thunder asked as he turned slowly. He then saw two spirits of a mare and stallion alicorns. The mare had a light color coat with tan and lavender accents, a mane and tail showing beautiful stars and a light orange color, a cutie mark of a galaxy, and wearing a crown almost similar to Celestia's. The stallion had a coat that almost looks like Luna's but had stars that are barely shown, his mane, wings, and tail flowed like water, and his cutie mark was similar to Twilight's but with no tiny stars.

"I am Queen Galaxina," Galaxina replied.

"And I am King Cosmos," Cosmos replied.

"I don't understand and what did you mean by grandson?"

"We are the creators of the Elements of Harmony and the parents of Celestia and Luna." Charming Thunder's eyes widened and his legs began to shake. He then bowed to their presence a little nervous.

"What do you want with me?" Queen Galaxina raised his chin up to her eye level as she smiled.

"We have sensed a dark presence around the Tree of Harmony," Cosmos explained. "The plunder vines have returned and is draining the tree's magic."

"So we have come down to you since you are the Element of Harmony bearer left," Galaxina added. "To ask for your help."

"Who is the cause of those vines if I may ask?" Charming Thunder asked.

"From what we heard, the pony who now controls the vines is named Twivine Sparkle."

"Sparkle?"

"She may look like your wife, but it is her dark side and she is now coming for you," Cosmos explained. "Her friends are now on her side now two. Don't worry. They are still alive. Their magic was just drained to make their darker selves."

"What must I do to get them back?"

"You must go to the Tree of Harmony and defeat Twivine and get your friends back. Use the Elements of Harmony to restore the tree and restore balance to harmony."

"We wish you luck, grandson," Galaxina said as her and Cosmos began to fade away. "We will be with you. Always." As Charming Thunder got up, the doors opened and a magnaguard droid entered the room.

"Your, highness," the magnaguard began. "We have just received a distress signal from the star destroyer Aurora. It appears that they are attacked."

"Alert my star destroyer to prepare my arrival," Charming Thunder ordered.
