Me and the girls were on the takeoff deck and I have sent Soundwave ahead and Trypticon was approaching from above to attack the undead forces. Me, Rainbow, Sonata, and Trixie had some boards. They were Extreme Gear, a little gadget that Soundwave made for me and the others. My Extreme Gear was made for ‘Speed’ and it was black with some white streaks on it. Rainbow’s Extreme Gear was made for ‘Speed’ as well. Her Extreme Gear color was color was cyan with rainbow streaks on it. Sonata’s Extreme Gear was made for ‘Fly’ and help her control the skies better. Her Extreme Gear was blue and had teal streaks on it. And Trixie’s Extreme Gear was made for ‘Fly’, serving as the same function as Sonata’s. Trixie’s extreme gear color was cyan with no streaks. We smirked, looking at each other, before getting ready to go.
Meanwhile with Soundwave…
Soundwave was in his vehicle form and he approached Charming and his legion. When they heard his engines, they looked and see him approaching. When he was halfway there, he transformed and landed next to Charming, who was up in front. Charming was surprise to see Soundwave. Soundwave looked ahead; seeing the undead forces being led by none other than Kel’thuzad.
Kel’thuzad said to Charming “A machine? What makes this one change this battle.”
Soundwave said, speaking for what would be the first time in history “Decepticons Superior, Scourge Inferior.”
At that moment, they began to hear guns blazing and red laser blasts being shot down at the Scourge. They all looked and see the Nemesis coming out of the clouds. But when he began to make a pass, four figures jumped off the takeoff deck. It was none other than me and the girls. As we flew down, we didn’t fall off the Extreme Gear and we were doing some stunts as we came down. When we came close to the ground, the Extreme Gear began to go up and began to fly above the ground. We dashed towards Charming, smirking at the success of this new toy. When we arrived, we halted in front of him and got off the boards. I looked at Charming, who was in awe and shocked.
Charming asked “H-How are you-“
“We killed Havoc the same day you left the Crystal Empire to travel here in Northrend. Twilight and the Vamponies are took a shortcut to Icecrown Citadel, the same way Arthas took to meet against the Alliance led by Celestia 800 years ago. Scorponok just needed to make the tunnel due to the fact it collapsed.”
Charming nods “It explains where he went off to then.”
I turned to Kel’thuzad and his undead legion. The Nemesis began to fly above us, guns aiming at the Scourge.
“Kel’thuzad; Advisor to Lich King Arthas and leader of the Necromancer faction of the Scourge, if you surrender and take us to Arthas without any trouble, we won’t have to worry about your demise.”
Kel’thuzad replied “Ah, Danny Eclipse; Son of Princess Luna / Nightmare Moon and King Sombra, Guardian of the Dark Side, Former Leader of the Phantom Consortium, Current leader of Team Insanity, Leader of the Vampony Empire, Slayer of Havoc, Aspect of Insanity and Knowledge, Champion of Unicron the Destroyer, and King of the Ghost Realm. You are well known here; Danny Eclipse. A true son to the Dark Lord; that is for certain.”
“What are you talking about? Mephiles is the Dark Lord.”
Kel’thuzad replied “True; but he had TWO apprentices. Mephiles was Kil'jaeden’s master; thus it was originally Mephiles who created the Lich King. It was a shame that Mephiles killed Kil’jaeden after the failure of the Burning Legion.”
“I heard about that.”
“Tell me then; what about you?” Kel'thuzad asked.
“What do you mean?”
Kel’thuzad answered “I’m a Lich, one of many masters of dark magic. And I can sense tons of dark magic in your body. If anything, you are the pure essences of evil.”
“What are you implying!?”
Before Kel’thuzad could reply, Scorponok arrived from underground and we see the Combaticons approaching us. To follow them was the Vampony Empire.
Kel’thuzad said “I have overstayed my welcome here. Minions… kill them.”
The Scourge army charged at us. Kel’thuzad casted a teleportation spell and teleported himself away from the battlefield.
“Combaticons; transform and combine into Bruticus!”
Onslaught and his combaticons complied and formed into Bruticus.
Bruticus shouted “Bruticus online!”
“Bruticus, clear these undead out!”
“Roger that!” Bruticus replied.
Bruticus moved the helicopter part and began to use the part as a shield and he began to walk forward. The mindless undead charged right into it, only to get destroyed into a million pieces. When the wave finally ended, Bruticus lowered the helicopter part and looked at me. I looked towards Charming, who was thinking about what Kel’thuzad was hinting about.
“Charming?”
He looked at me and smiled.
Charming answered a question about how he encountered Kel'thuzad “We were attacking the Wraithgate when Kel’thuzad confronted us.”
“Alright, we need to head to the Wraithgate and continue the attack.”
He nodded and we began to head towards Wraithgate.
Later…
We arrived to the place. I ordered Bruticus to break open the gate and he did it without much trouble. When he finished, Bruticus transformed back into the Combaticons. Me, Charming, Twilight, Rainbow, Sonata, Trixie, Sunset, and Applejack went inside. Soundwave and the Combaticons stayed outside to hold off the undead army that was approaching and they had Trypticon so they had the advantage.
We arrived inside and began to arrive on the top level, where the frozen throne was located. When we arrived; we see the Lich King on his throne. Kel’thuzad was to his right, Anub'rekhan. In front of the throne, at the bottom steps, were three Death Knights and one Dreadlord. I gasped at the sight of the Dreadlord, his presence felt familiar to me. Almost like that time back in Tartarus during my meeting with Tirek. They looked at us.
Fearoth greeted “Well, well, well. If it isn’t the heroes of Equestria. Come to save your cousin; Danny and Charming?”
Charming nodded “Yes.”
Fearoth smirked “Too bad; you will need to get through us first!”
We charged at them. The Death Knights pulled out their runeblades and clashed blades with Twilight, Trixie, and Sonata. They were at a stalemate. While they were at it; me, Charming, Sunset, and Applejack went past them. Fearoth tried to attack us, but I fired a ghost ray at him, causing him to go back.
Charming said “Arthas, Son of Celestia,” Undead Ghouls began to approach them from behind. Sunset and Applejack turned to them and began to fight them to hold them off. “Too long have you sat on that throne.” Fearoth tried to get up and run but he was stopped by my clone that I have sent to hold him down. “Ner'zhul.” Arthas looked towards him, recognizing the name easily. “I release you, great spirit.”
Charming went to extend his horn to Arthas’ head but he only chuckled. Charming pulled back when he heard it, seeing that Arthas was holding Frostmourne in his hoof.
Arthas replied “You have no power here; Charming Thunder.”
Charming’s magic began to grow, consuming his entire being. This caused Arthas to be pushed back, deep into his throne. He lost his grip on Frostmourne.
Charming said “I will draw you out Ner’zhul like poison from a wound.”
He began to approach slowly again, his horn flaring with magic. This action made Arthas pushed back again.
'Arthas' threatened “If I go, Arthas dies.”
Charming pushed again, making the Lich King pushed back into his throne.
“You will not kill me, you will not kill him.” Charming said with confidence.
The Lich King pushes slightly to lift his head.
'Arthas' said “The Scourge is mine.”
Charming pushes once again.
Charming shouted “Begone!”
Arthas tried to lung at Charming, but he hit his horn and began to glow. Suddenly, Ner'zhul’s spirit was launched out of Arthas. Acting quickly, I pulled out a thermos and made Ner’zhul’s spirit go inside the Thermos and I quickly put the cap on it, preventing Ner’zhul from escaping. We all looked as Arthas’ coat began to change from bone white back to golden color. We looked as Frotstmourne no longer whispering dark whispers. We heard a flashing sound and we turned, seeing Celestia and Luna. The fight against the three death knights ended when Ner’zhul’s spirit left Arthas. Celestia came to Arthas’ side as he began to regain color and returned to his young self. When it finished, Arthas looked at Celestia and hugged her. Both were crying tears.
Arthas said “Mother? Is it really you? After so many years of being in darkness, your presence is like a light in the night sky.”
Before anything could be said, we heard a grunt and we looked; seeing Fearoth getting up from beating my clone off guard. We began to approach him and we see Fearoth chuckling.
Fearoth said “Well, looks like you win yet again.”
“Who are you, really?”
Fearoth replied “Why; I am the one who have started this. My henchman was the one who freed the Lich King and Havoc.”
Charming demanded “Why though!?”
“Tell me this, Danny. Did you ever wonder why you were so powerful in the dark side?” Fearoth asked for no reason.
The question caught us all off guard.
“What do you mean?”
Fearoth replied “I mean; how would it possible if Luna was pregnant and gave birth to you and Sombra happens to be your father while Charming is born the exact same time, day, year as you were. Didn’t you ever wonder about that?”
I began to think about it. Now that you think about it; Luna never lost her virginity back then and records reported nothing about Luna giving birth but I thought it was just Celestia and Luna covering it up so I wouldn’t get in danger.
“I’ve thought about it but I thought it was just Celestia and Luna covering their tracks.”
We began to hear Fearoth chuckling before bursting into laughter. He looked at Luna, smirking.
Fearoth asked “You mean to tell me that he doesn’t know?”
“What don’t I know!?”
Fearoth turned to me and Charming.
Fearoth said “Luna and Sombra aren’t your real parents. They mixed their DNA within you by using a Genetic Spell to hide the TRUE identity of your mother and father, because they feared you would turn on them.”
That got me and Charming to look at him with disbelief.
“You’re lying.”
Fearoth asked “Am I? Why not tell that,” he pointed to his left, which was our right “to her.”
We looked and see a black smoke cloud forming. Suddenly, a female hedgehog came out of the smoke. She had black fur and had teal steaks. Her eyes were neon green with slit pupils. She wore a crown on her head, which was black and had green jewels on it.
The female hedgehog asked with uncertainty “D-Danny?”
That voice. It rang in my ears and I grabbed my head in pain. Something was there, in the back of my head. Suddenly, it began to clear up.
[Flashback]
I was no more than the size of a foal, looking up. There, I see a hedgehog. It was none other than my mom. I laughed my foal laughter and I heard mom saying ‘aw’ as she picked me up. Suddenly, the door opened and she looked as I did. I see another hedgehog, like my mom but had grey streaks and looked like a male. It was my dad and he looked tired.
Dad shouted with warning “Mana; Celestia and Luna are coming! You need to run with the child!”
Before Mom could reply, there was a bang and we looked, seeing two alicorns. Mom began to turn and run but Luna gave chase. Mana ran out the back door and continue to run until she lost Luna. She looked at me, who was crying. She comfort me and began to sing her lullaby.
Sung in tune of Come Little Children
Sung mainly by Mana the Hedgehog
Come little children
I'll take thee away, into a land
of Enchantment
Come little children
the time's come to play
here in my garden
of Shadows
She continue to hum her melody. It was so beautiful.
Follow sweet children
I'll show thee the way
through all the pain and
the Sorrows
Weep not poor childlen
for life is this way
murdering beauty and
Passions
She began to hum her melody.
Hush now dear children
it must be this way
to weary of life and
Deceptions
Rest now my children
for soon we'll away
into the calm and
the Quiet
She continue to sing, when it came time to sing again, she did so.
Come little children
I'll take thee away, into a land
of Enchantment
Come little children
the time's come to play
here in my garden
of Shadows
I began to feel tired. It was the same song that always put me to sleep. I began to see her approach a stallion and gave him the basket she put me in.
Mana told the stallion “I want you to take this to Princesses Celestia and Luna. Tell them to watch over my little child and love him like he was their own.”
Mana paid the stallion a lot and told him not to reveal who gave him the basket. I fell asleep, knowing it was going to be the last time before I see my mommy. She kissed my forehead and I fell asleep.
[Flashback Ended]
I began to blink several times. There, deep within my memory, was how I was born and who were my actual parents. Mana the Hedgehog was my mother while Mephiles the Dark was my father. I looked over to Mana, my memory of my birth all the way to where she sealed my memories to keep me safe. I began to cry before I rush to her, hugging her. Mana was crying herself, hugging me with joy and happiness. There were some ‘aws’ from all around. Fearoth took his chance and disappeared into the shadows. Charming looked at me and Mana. Celestia and Luna looked at each other before nodded, knowing they will accept what fate had just happened.
Luna said “Come now, let’s go home. We can talk when we get back.”
Mana looked at Luna and Celestia with fear. But they welcomed her with open hooves and they began to walk away, heading back to the Crystal Empire.
