The Millennium Phoenix flew as it was being pursued by pirate forces flying in their Porax-38 starfghters as they made their way back to Ponyville. Danny was the co pilot as Charming Thunder piloted the freighter. "They must have wanted these plans really bad," Danny said.
"I know," Charming Thunder said. "Even if these plans ended up in the wrong hooves, it would be catastrophic for the empire. Luckily for us we got it back and I can still outmaneuver them." Charming Thunder piloted the freighter down to the sandy surface as the fighters continue to pursue it. Some of the fighters crashed to the ground as they were tricked by the freighter. "Prepare to make the jump to lightspeed."
"The coordinates are already set, brother. It's now or never."
"Punch it then." Danny pulled the lever to activate the hyperdrive, but it somehow appears that it is not working. "I think we are in trouble."
"The hyperdrive must be damaged before we took off. Now it's going to be impossible to escape."
"See what you can do about it. Otherwise, your wife will have our heads." The pirate fighters continued to fire at the freighter as the pursuit continued. Meanwhile in the ships engineering bay, Danny grabbed a tool box and opened the hatch to the hyperdrive using the force. He then went in as he placed the tool box where he needs it.
"Horizontal boosters? Maybe the Alluvial dampers? Nope. That's not it. This calls for a hydrospanner." Danny flew up and grabbed a hydrospanner from the tool box and went back down to continue his repairs. "I don't know how we're going to get out of this one." Suddenly, a loud thump hits the side of the freighter which caused it to lurch radically and makes the tool box fall over and hit Danny on the head. "OW!! CHARMING!!!" More turbulence rocked the ship as he popped his head out rubbing his head. "That was no laser blast! Something hit us. What's going on up there?"
"Scrapyard," Charming Thunder's voice said on the speaker. "I'm drawing some power to the shields."
"What are you thinking? You're not actually thinking of going through the scrapyard."
"They would be crazy enough to follow us, wouldn't they?" Charming Thunder piloted the freighter to avoid some crashed starships as the pursuit raged on from behind. "I'm sure this would work though."
"Never tell me the odds." The Phoenix turned past a huge pile as the pirates followed them continuing to fire at it. One of the fighters connects with a pile of scrap and exploded. The three fighters flew in hot pursuit until one of them scrapes a pile and spins out of control which then crashed to the ground exploding to pieces.
"Careful with your flying!! I'm just about done with repairing the hyperdrive. Just don't scratch the ship."
"I can't argue with that. That is why I am flying through that old Venator."
"What?"
"Trust me." Charming Thunder piloted the freighter to a crashed Venator-class Star Destroyer and dove down. The two remaining fighters followed the ship as it entered the engine of the crashed ship. The Millennium Phoenix flew the engine as they flew over some obstacles hoping to loose the pirates. It then flew through a narrow opening which caused the pursuing fighters to crash. The freighter exited the crashed ship and flew up in the air.
"Got it!!"
"Strap yourself in!!" Charming Thunder pulled a lever and the freighter made the jump to Ponyville.
---------------------
The Millennium Phoenix landed at the towns docking bay and the ramp lowered as Charming Thunder and Danny walked down leaving the ship. "You never changed since I left," Danny said.
"At least I don't hear you complaining," Charming Thunder said. "Now we should get home. I'm sure my wife would be worried and sick about me."
"Same for mine." Arriving at the castle, Charming Thunder and Danny sees Twilight running over to them and gives Charming Thunder a tight hug.
"Thank goodness you two are here," Twilight said.
"Whoah whoah. Slow down dear. You sound like it is an emergency."
"That's because it is."
"Start from the beginning and slow down." Twilight sighed and calmed down a little.
"It's Rainbow Dash." Danny's eyes widened at the news.
"What has happened?" Danny asked. "Is she alright?"
"She is. We need to get to the hospital right away." Danny already knew what's going on and was one step ahead of them and flew to the Ponyville hospital.
Charming Thunder face hoofed as he said, "Always on the move."
"My friends are there as well. Let's go." Charming Thunder nodded and ran with her to the hospital.
---------------------
At the Ponyville hospital, Charming Thunder was with the others as he walked back and forth waiting to go see Rainbow. The medical droid exited the room and turned to them. "It's a boy," the medical droid said. They cheered as Charming Thunder only smiled. "She's awake if you wish to see her." One by one, the group entered Rainbow's room to see the cradled colt in her arms. Danny stood next to her to get a closer look of his child. He was a blue colt with a dark blue mane with green eyes.
"I am proud, my love," Danny said nuzzling Rainbow Dash.
"We still need a name for him."
"I actually thought of one while you were away," Rainbow said. "I was thinking Sonic should be his name."
"Sonic. That's a great name."
"Congrats, Rainbow," Charming Thunder said as he stepped up next to his brother.
"Thank you. Thank you all for coming to see our first child." Rainbow Dash then looked at Sonic. "Sonic, meet your father and uncle Charming Thunder." Charming Thunder smiled and wrapped a hoof around Danny's shoulder.
