In a dark room of an unknown region, two figures stood in the darkness. "It seems to me that Twivine and Omega had failed to bring an end to Charming and his friends," the first figure said.

"Remember; we still hold the key of destroying Equestria," the second figure said. "We have four other henchmen to be able to deal with Charming and his friends. Not to mention, we have finally located another force to be able to challenge Equestria."

"Are you sure he is in the Frozen Wastelands at the Frozen Throne?"

"You have done well…for a dead centaur; Tirek." The torches lit up, revealing the two figures. Indeed, one of them was the long dead Centaur Tirek, who was in his true form. The other figure was a humanoid hedgehog. He had black fur, grey streaks, silver rings and skate shoes. He had green slit eyes and he had no mouth.

"Thank you, Lord Mephiles," Tirek replied.

"Tirek, I want them ready to work and attack," Mephiles said.

"They will be awakening in eight months from now." Mephiles nodded and started to laugh menacingly.

At Twilight's castle, Phantom and his crew left the group as they arrived. Danny and the others were surprised to see Twilight with big black bat-like wings. He examined her closely and noticed a large amount of dark magic still inside her. The others were awake and ok. Delta Brony left them after they arrived at Ponyville. "So, I’ll be able to help Twilight with any blood urges, since she’s a Vampony now," Danny said.

"Thank you, Danny," Charming Thunder said.

"It’s no problem."

"Danny, there was something I wanted to tell you," Rainbow said.

"Yes?"

"Danny, I’m…pregnant." Danny gasped and his mouth gaped open. He was lucky that he didn't faint. He hugged Rainbow with joy as Charming Thunder smiled and left while Danny stayed with Rainbow.

In Charming Thunder's throne room, Charming Thunder gazed out of the window as he sat on his throne. He closed his eyes and opened them and said, "I know you're here, LauraFa." He then turned his throne to see LauraFa standing at his presence. "I can't thank you enough for your help."

"Even though you din't ask for it," LauraFa said. "I am grateful that you are safe."

"So what happens now?"

"Enjoy your reunion with your brother. Spend time with him and tell him about your journies since he had his memory wiped. But before I take my leave, I must tell you this. Darkness is approaching and I need you and your family to be cautious."

"As you say, milady." Charming Thunder lowered his head for a bow as LauraFa teleported out of the throne room. He then turned his chair back to the window and continued to gaze at the starry night. He then heard his father's voice in his head.

"Charming, I should've told you the truth a long time ago about how I turned to the dark side," Sombra's voice said. "Mephiles is a deceitful spirit and can't be trusted."

"I am concerned as much as you, father. But if he is responsible for the upcoming darkness, me and my friends and family will be ready."

"I hope you are right." Sombra's voice faded away as Charming Thunder continued to gaze at the stars.
