This is the prologue to my new… Unleashed adaptation? I don't know. This time, it is necessary to read, so if you were thinking about tuning out, you're gonna be missing something awesome!

Wolvmbm: Yep, Tank is going to be there… soon…

Peacock Cheesesteak: Zor was my inspiration.

Thatdudethere789: Gotta go fast.

Mr. S the weapons master: I deliberately left that out for length's sake.

ash the pokevenger: Here! Have a potato!

TheAncientVamPie: PM me what makes sense… you might be right. PM meeeee! (The Fly reference)

RainbowDash and Tia 4EVR: (Invisible thumbs up)

RandomPerson65: I see you are mimicking Bulk Biceps?

Rainbow Dash waited impatiently on a hill in the middle of a plain. Cobalt had asked her to meet him there, and just like usual, she'd gotten there earlier than him. One whole day had passed since they had shared their first kiss, and she hoped that this meeting was about their relationship. To her surprise, he seemed to have been avoiding this talk, offering to help the others in rounding up the last bit of chaos to fix. It had worried her for a while, but then she'd realized that he wouldn't have told her he loved her if he hadn't meant it.

She heard a swish of wind and felt the snapback created by it as she watched a blue blur flash by and stop in front of her. "Hey Dash." the blur said, the dust it had kicked up now clearing.

"Spikes." she acknowledged with a nod. "Fine day, is it not?"

"It is indeed." the two cracked a smile, but then Cobalt's expression got serious once more. "Well, now that we know how we both feel… I think it's time we talked."

There it was: the moment she knew would come. "Sure. About what?"

He shifted uncomfortably. "Well, about… I just wanted to clarify…"

She rolled her eyes. "Spit it out already, man!"

He exhaled. "I need to know whether we're… boyfriend and girlfriend."

Rainbow shoved him lightly. "Well of course we are." she grinned. "Of course, if you want to be."

She enjoyed watching him squirm as he fumbled with his words. "Yeah, I mean, of course! I just didn't want to, you know, assume." he hadn't expected she'd make this so difficult.

"Okay then." she shrugged. "If we're over that whole Discord thing, and we both feel the same way about each other, then let's go tell the others."

"Great!"

The two turned to take off, but then heard a familiar, annoying voice. "We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming to bring you this important message!" They whirled around. "Bokkun?!"

"How the heck did you get here?" Cobalt asked.

"Eggman had me stuffed up his sleeve!" the little robot explained. "And now he has a message for you!"

Rainbow glanced at Cobalt. "Didn't you kill him?"

The dark blue pegasus shrugged. "I thought so."

"WATCH MY MESSAGE YOU–" Bokkun raged, but then stopped himself mid-insult. "No. The therapy videos tell me not to do this." he looked up with a smile. "Please watch my message, you sorry excuses for life forms." he pressed the button on the side of the yellow television he'd brought as he flew away, and a video began to play, featuring our (least) favorite mad scientist.

"Is this thing on? We're rolling? Yes? Okay. Cobalt Spikes and Rainbow Dash! I know you both probably thought I was dead, but I'm not! I've got a giant army up in space, and I'll blow Equestria up if you don't surrender your freedom and become my slaves immediately." the screen went black and an auditory message played. "This message was entirely supported by the Eggman Empire, where we don't care about your safety one bit. Thank you."

The yellow TV exploded in both the pegasi's faces, leaving them both black and slightly charred. Rainbow wiped her face off and examined her slightly burnt mane. "Gosh, you think we'd learn!"

"Eggman's not dead?" Cobalt questioned. "How… and he wants us to become his slaves? And he's got a space army?! And we don't have the emeralds?! We're doomed!"

"Hey, remember. We've got the elements, and that worked with Chaos." Rainbow reassured him. "Don't worry, dude. We'll get this done right." she laughed, her usual arrogance and tough girl attitude shining through. "Hah! By the time we're done, they won't know which side of Eggman is the face!"

Cobalt smiled. "All right, let's go and fetch the elements then."

ONE SONIC UNLEASHED THEME LATER

Cobalt bursted into the library and swept past Twilight, little more than a blue blur that talked. "Gotta grab the elements! Eggman's back! Bye!" he called as he zipped back out the door.

Twilight glanced at the damage his flying had caused. "That's another lamp." she sighed. "Oh well, I guess if they really need the elements…"

UP IN SPACE, YO

Eggman surveyed his massive army of robots and space ships, laughing maniacally as he realized that there was no Doctor with a futuristic screwdriver to disassemble his circuits this time. Then he felt the ship he was on shake with an impact. "Oh?"

Two forms were soon visible through the smoke they had caused by making that crater in the first place. Cobalt Spikes and Rainbow Dash stood side by side at the front of a space ship, provoking several security bots to sound the alarm, a hight pitched wail that would set any person into a panic.

Eggman pushed an intercom button. "All available units, fire on those pegasi!" he screamed into the button. "And an iced latte please! I missed last night's sleep!"

Cobalt glanced at his partner, who gave a slight nod, and the two launched themselves at the nearest robot.

Boom! Next day update up in this house! I've got the beginnings of the next chapter that I intended to put in this, but didn't because I believe that all stories deserve a prologue, so you can expect to see an update within the next three days or so. Please, review your thoughts.
