Chapter 10: Danny Eclipse's True Nature

It was the first time for Mana, Luna, Celestia, Arthas, Charming Thunder, and Twilight to be on the Nemesis' bridge. 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 Danny didn't mind. He turned to the others who were talking to each other. Charming Thunder was talking to Twilight about something as Danny began to walk to them and went to Rainbow, Sonata, and Trixie. "I can’t believe that we can give the power of Cybertronian transformation to other ponies," Charming Thunder said.

"I did it to only to my mates because I trust them with my life," Danny said.

"You were right in your choice," Celestia said.

"Thank you, Aunt Celestia." Danny looked at Mana. "But I have some questions." She nodded knowing what he was thinking about.

"Let me start how I was created," Mana said.

"Wait, created?"

"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.

"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," Danny finished. Mana nodded and Charming Thunder began to think about it.

"How odd," Charming Thunder said.

"Anyway, that was when the world began to have Aspects," Mana continued. "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?" Danny asked.

"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 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. Danny sighed with relaxation.

"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."

"So it was YOU who sent those presents," Luna added. "I was wondering why Danny was getting so many presents."

"But how was I still getting them from Clockwork?"

"Oh, Clockwork talked to me first before going to Celestia," Mana explained. "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?"

"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."

"Was there ever a time when he was… not evil?" Mana smiled and hugged Danny.

"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."

"I doubt he will be able to come and save you while he is in the pits of Tartarus," Celestia said.

"There is nothing he won’t do to get freed and come to save me and Danny with his love for us." Danny hugged Mana again then sat down. A little while later, he looked at Charming Thunder.

"I think it is time we unlocked our Aspect powers," Danny said.

"Are-are you sure?" Charming Thunder asked nervously. "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 Thunder thought about it before he nodded.

"When do we do it?"

"A week from now, in Ponyville." Everyone nodded and cheered along with Danny and Charming Thunder.
