As two Venator class star destroyers flew over Ponyville to set up a blockade on the ship that was still under construction, Charming Thunder landed his ship where it was first seen. When the cockpit opened, he noticed two familiar pegasi. It was Spitfire and Soarin. "I thought they were with the Shadowbolts," he said to himself. He then got out of the cockpit and walked up to the two pegasi. "Hey! You two." Spitfire then turned around and saw Charming Thunder.
