//------------------------------// // The True History about Danny Eclipse // Story: Phantom War VII: Revenge of Havoc // by Danny Eclipse //------------------------------// We were on The Nemesis’ bridge. It was the first time for Mana, Luna, Celestia, Arthas, Charming, and Twilight’s first time inside The Nemesis. They were admiring the work of the ship and The Nemesis was heading towards to the Crystal Empire. The arrival time will be about an hour or two due to harsh weather, which I didn’t mind. I turned to the others, who were all talking to each other. Charming was talking to Twilight about something. I began to walk to them and went to Rainbow, Sonata, and Trixie. Charming said with surprise “I can’t believe that we can give the power of Cybertronian transformation to other ponies.” “I did it to only to my mates because I trust them with my life.” Celestia nodded “You were right in your choice.” “Thank you, Aunt Celestia.” I looked to my mom; Mana. “But I have some questions.” Mana nodded, knowing what I was thinking about. Mana replied “Let me start how I was created…” “Wait; created?” Mana nodded “Yes. You see; your father is the original mobian here in Equestria, he was lonely and wanted another of his kind here. So, he created me with the dark magic with King Sombra and a little from Luna in her jealousy. When I was created, we started like friends and then… it happened. When we had you, Mephiles heard that his apprentice; Sombra, had a child at the same time as we had you. So, your father looked deep into it and then he say a prophecy.” “Prophecy?” Luna asked. Mana replied “Yes. It was known as ‘The Prophecy of Light and Shadow’. It tells that the son of Sombra will bring light into the world while the son of Mephiles would bring in the darkness. Originally, Charming represents that light while Danny represents that darkness. That is why they became-“ “Guardians of the Light and Dark Side.” Mana nodded and Charming began to think about it. Charming said “How odd…” Mana continued “Anyway, that was when the world began to have Aspects. Mephiles became the Aspect of Darkness, Celestia became the Aspect of the Day while Luna became the Aspect of the Night. Celestia and Luna, hearing that Mephiles was spreading his dark nature into the world, tried to kill him. But due to him being able to control the darkness around him, he was almost impossible to defeat. So, they used the Elements of Harmony on him, weakening him to the point where he could have lost his mobian form. Celestia and Luna could have finished him there but they, too, were too weak to finish him off. So, they sent him into Tartarus in Equus’ most powerful chains to remain in Tartarus forever. However, Mephiles swore he will return to bring Celestia and Luna to their end. By the time they return to rest easy, that was when they received you from me. I sealed your memories and powers to keep you safe.” “Wait; how am I a pony if I was born from two mobians?” Mana answered “Due to me being created from the dark magic of Sombra and Luna; it would be reason that you would be born as a pony. You were an alicorn too, so Celestia and Luna couldn’t hurt you. But to make your disguise good, I used my powers to withdraw your alicorn form into your mind and locked it away and made you look like a Pegasus. Luna loved you the moment she got you and adopted you. So; to hide who you truly were, Luna and Sombra (unknowingly) used a genetic spell on you to hide your true appearance. But Luna, while I was created with some of her dark magic, was your blood mother so you are still related to Luna and Sombra.” “So I am still related to Charming?” Mana nodded and I sigh with relaxation. Thank Luna that I was still Charming’s brother. Mana said “Anyway; every year, around Hearth’s Warming Day, I would send you presents.” “That explains why I got so many presents from an unknown person.” Luna added “So it was YOU who sent those presents. I was wondering why Danny was getting so many presents.” “But how was I still getting them from Clockwork?” Mana replied “Oh, Clockwork talked to me first before going to Celestia. I approved of you going to train as long as I could still send you those presents and know you have been. When I got the picture of your new appearance, it took me a bit to adjust to the new you. Clockwork told me that when Dan Phantom had awoken your time powers that Mephiles had, I was the one who told him to get you to learn how to use it. Because I knew someday… you would have to defeat your father in combat.” “What do you mean?” Mana sigh with a sort of happiness “Danny, you’re father became corrupted shortly after he became the true Aspect of Darkness. Now; when you unlock your true Aspect power, you will; if not be better, be able to fight your father.” That was a lot to take in. So Mephiles is corrupted… I always thought he was evil. “Was there ever a time when he was… not evil?” Mana smiled warmly and hugged me. Mana said in my ear “Yes. Before he became an Aspect; he created me and he was so kind and nice. He was even romantic with me and respected everyone who didn’t judge us. Mephiles never showed any hints of being evil, just pure love and harmony. And when we had you; he was never angry or upset. No, he was prepared for this and he helped me. Even now; I still sense the good in him. Even if he is truly corrupted, I know he will forever love me, even in the darkest of times. And when I am at the brink of being killed, I know he will be there to save me and protect me from all danger.” Celestia said, and I could swear I think she was thinking of a way to ruin the moment “I doubt he will be able to come and save you while he is in the pits of Tartarus.” Mana said to Celestia, catching what Celestia was trying to attempt “There is nothing he won’t do to get freed and come to save me and Danny with his love for us.” I hugged Mana again and we sat down. After what was like hours, I looked at Charming. “I think it is time we unlocked our Aspect powers.” Everyone turned to me and Charming; who was shocked as well. Charming replied nervously “Are- are you sure? We don’t know what will happen.” “We have completed the other two trials without even knowing it. We should at least complete the third and final trial.” Charming began to think about it before nodding. “When do we do it?” Charming asked. “A week from now, in Ponyville.” Everyone nodded and cheered along with me and Charming. Meanwhile… In the dark chamber of what would look like a hellish throne room, a figure came out of the shadows. It was none other than Fearoth. Fearoth said “Damn; that plan failed… but it did show some promise.” He looked at his claw-like hands. “Even though I am still too weak, it is only a matter of time before I am truly unlocked and freed.” Suddenly, Fearoth’s body began to turn black and morph into something else. When the morph ended, what should ‘Fearoth’ was now Mephiles. Mephiles continued “Now that I have confirmed that Danny is, really, my son… this helps my plans a lot. But my dear Mana…” He looked up, thinking about his time with Mana before it was interrupted. “No! I will not dwell on the past!” An orb of purple energy came to him and it became a small figure of Danny. “My plans are in motion. It will take about three months but I will be able to make my plans into a reality. Once I use Danny to use the Summoning Stones that Celestia has, I’ll be able to walk on the surface world once again.” Mephiles walks over to a nearby mirror. Suddenly, the reflection of Mephiles began to fade like he was doing right now. Then, the image changed to what looked like a massive cell. Inside the cell was another Mephiles but this one had his eyes closed and he was bounded by golden and bluish black chains. On the ground platform where the other Mephiles was in was a magical sealing dome marker, preventing the other Mephiles from leaving the ground platform circle. “Soon, my son will set me free from my chains and I will shroud this entire world into darkness.” Mephiles began to laugh loudly. Lucky for him that the room was sound-proof, otherwise the two figures outside the door would have heard everything.
