Kyla: hellos peeps! I am honored to be working with Quintus here. Hope you guys like this new story!
Quintus: Yay for that! Let's start!
Eagle feathers dipped in sea green, chapter 1
The sun was high in the sky and the birds were chirping. Quintus was sitting on a tree branch watching the world under his feet. Quintus enjoyed days such as this, and he thought about visiting one of his friends, or maybe going for a walk when suddenly he heard an odd noise.
It was a noise he had heard before, but he wasn't sure what it was.
He jumped off the branch and flies over to where the sound was. He started hearing shouting and yelling. He stopped and hovered over the ground.
He spotted a black figure with a red eye. It smiled a toothy smile and in front of it were four hedgehogs and a fox. The shadow raises its hands in the air and their feet started picking up dirt. They start floating in the air and get sucked in by a giant sphere.
Quintus dashed forwards and tried to grab one of the hedgehogs by the ankle and fly him back down, but all that happened was he started to get sucked in along with him.
"I hate vortex magic!" Quintus shouted as he got closer and closer to the sphere. The six hedgehogs and fox get fully sucked in and Quintus finds himself still holding on to the guy's leg.
They were in the middle of a forest, but it was dark. Quintus looked up to the trees. They covered the sky. He opened his wings and flew above the trees, trying to get a good view. Once he got high enough he saw a small town in he distance. After flying back down and noticing that Sonic had appeared higher than everyone else and fallen into the ground face first. He grabbed the blue blur by the tail and yanked him out of the ground. Quintus asked Sonic,
"Are you ok?" Sonic nodded and rubbed his face,
"Why does this keep happening?" Quintus shrugged.
Then, he couldn't move. In the corner of his eye, he spots sea green fur hiding shyly behind a tree. "What's that?" He asked.
"I don't know. Let's check it out." Sonic said, and the two walked slowly over to the small mass of fur hidden in the brush.
"Who's there? I warn you, I'm armed." Quintus said, holding a chaos spear up. The small creature stood up to reveal itself as Kyla. She staggers away in fear. Sonic smiles,
"Heya, Kyla!" He runs over to her and gives her a noogie, "How ya doing squirt?" She escapes from his grasp and hides behind a tree again. Quintus smiled. It wasn't the first time he'd been given the shy treatment.
"Hello. Are you OK? We're not going to hurt you or anything. Do you know where we are?" He asked. After a moment, the green hedgehog peeked out from behind the tree and shook her head a bit, and then she hid behind the tree again. "You can come out, cause as I said, we won't hurt you."
"I know Sonic won't..." she said quietly, "But you... I'm not sure. But... Your wings. They remind me of..." She started panicking and dropped to the ground. She started shaking in fear. Quintus quickly checked that Kyla was in no mortal danger, and then he looked at his wings to make sure one of his other friends hadn't painted on them. Seeing nothing, Quintus turned back to Kyla.
"What's wrong with my wings?" Quintus asked. Kyla scooted back from him quickly, exclaiming,
"Stay away from me!" Sonic sighed,
"I dunno what's wrong with her. But I bet Silver knows. She tells him everything." Quintus looked at Kyla for a moment, then at Sonic.
"Do you think she would let you carry her to the town I saw, or can she walk on her own?" Quintus asked. Sonic looked to Kyla.
"Eh. She'll be fine." Sonic said. Kyla gulped and got back to her feet. She starts staring at the ground in shame.
"S-sorry..." Quintus smiled.
"It isn't your fault. Lot's of people have...history problems. I would know..." Quintus said, thinking about his past.
"So you ready to go then?" Sonic asked. Kyla nods. The three start walking down a path to a small town. The town was inhabited with colored coded ponies!
"Umm, is this place inhabited by ponies?" Sonic asked after a moment.
"Probably isn't the strangest thing I've seen. But yeah, yeah it is." Quintus said. After a moment one of the ponies noticed them and pointed a hand (Hoof?) at them and exclaimed,
"Monsters!" All the ponies stop walking and look over to the three hedgehogs. They all scream and run into their houses. Locking the doors and closing their blinds. Soon, the street was empty. The only moving was a piece of paper flying in the wind. Quintus shrugged, and walked over to the paper and placed it into a wastebasket.
"Should we try to find the others, or talk to the locals?" Quintus asked. Sonic nodded. He pulls up his wrist and presses a button on a communicator.
"Tails? Can you hear me?" Static. "Tails?" Static. "Well, no signal on Tails. Kyla, can you try and locate their energies?" Kyla hesitated, but she nodded. Her eyes turned into a dark glowing blue. The faded back to their original blue and she said,
"I can't sense them..." Quintus tried as well after noting that Sonic said 'yes' to an either/or question, though he didn't really know what he was searching for. After a few seconds, he bumped his consciousness against an extremely powerful being.
"Whoa." Quintus said back in the real world.
"What is it?" Sonic asked.
"That's the thing. I'm not sure. Some individual about as powerful as Super Sonic is in that castle." Quintus said, pointing at a large castle in the distance.
"So you think the Chaos emeralds might be here?" Sonic asked. Quintus shook his head.
"Maybe, but this isn't it. It seems like the opposite of Chaos. We should check it out." Quintus said. Sonic nodded.
Kyla closed her eyes. In her ears, she heard an evil laugh. A red eye appears before her behind her eyelids. "I'm CoMiNg fOr YoU~" Kyla snapped her eyes open and starts shaking a little, "S-she's here too..." she mumbled ever so silently.
Quintus opened his wings, ready to take off, but he saw Kyla flinch a bit.
'Eh, I can run' he thought, and he folded them shut.
"Ready guys?" Quintus asked. Sonic nodded, but Kyla seemed to be listening to an unhearable voice.
"Kyla?" Quintus asked. Kyla mumbled something and looked to Quintus.
"What?" She asked.
"I asked if you were ready." Quintus said. Kyla nodded. Sonic kneeled and faced his back on Kyla.
"Hop on. We're going to be running." Kyla shook her head,
"N-no... I can just teleport there..." Sonic tilted a brow,
"But I thought you had trouble with that?"
"No, no, I can just teleport there." Her eyes glow and she disappears. After a moment of staring at the spot where Kyla was, Quintus looked at Sonic.
"Well, I'm not running. See you." And he disappeared, leaving sonic for a moment before re-appearing.
"We went that way." Quintus said, turning sonic around so he was facing the castle. "Run already!" He said before teleporting again. Sonic ran all the way to the castle. Quintus appears next to him. But Kyla was nowhere to be seen.
"Where'd she go?" Sonic asked.
"If you don't know, how should I?" Quintus asked. They searched the surrounding area, and after a few minutes of finding nothing, they just stopped and looked around.
"Would there be anything that would want to harm her, such as the thing that brought us here?" Quintus asked. "What was that, by the way?" He added.
"Oh, That was a Shadow Demon. She calls herself Omigi. She wants to posse Kyla for her power."
"Ah. I rather dislike demons. So, should we be concerned about Kyla's welfare right now?" Quintus asked.
"Duh." Sonic said.
"Thought so." Quintus said, and he tried searching for Kyla's power, but he hadn't known her long enough to know what it was like, so all he got was a general location back in the town they had just left.
"She's back in the town full of ponies we just scared." Quintus said.
"Ok." The two return back to the town and they find six ponies surrounding the small sea green hedgehog. She was shaking nervously,
"I-I'm so sorry. I was trying to go to the castle."
"It's OK. Let's run this time though, OK?" Quintus asked. Kyla nodded and she hopped onto Sonic's back and got ready for the ride.
"At least they're not flying..." Kyla mumbled. Quintus and Sonic skidded to a halt back at the castle.
"Halt, who goes there?" Asked the pony guard. Sonic's face was easily readable as a 'They can talk!' face. Quintus stepped into view.
"Ahh! I mean, be gone beast!" The guard shouted. Quintus grinned.
"Sir, believe me when I tell you you have no idea what a monster is." He said.
Now the guard's face also read, 'It can talk!' Kyla hopped off Sonic's back and asked the guard,
"Excuse me sir, we need to get inside."
"Says who?" He snapped. Kyla stared at him innocent look. But in the guard's eyes, her eyes turn fully white as her brows furrow. An evil smile appears on her face, as her fur grows black.
"Says me. Get out of the way or I'll ripe your spine out~" The guard paniced,
"Oh-ok!" He moved out of the way. Kyla blinked in confusion,
"Um... Ok?" The door opens and the three go in. Quintus sensed something when the guard was horrified. What was it? Nothing was happening. She just stood there with confusion. As the trio walked into the castle, Quintus walked over to sonic and asked in a whisper,
"Hey Sonic, I need to ask you a question." He said.
"Sure. What?" Sonic asked.
"Has Kyla ever had multiple personalities or special persuasive abilities?" He asked. He knew people that did, but Kyla didn't seem that way. Sonic scratched his chin and shook his head,
"Nope. Not that I know of. She just barely knows how to work her Psychokinesis powers."
"Hmm…" Quintus said, thinking deeply. He looked at Kyla, who had glanced back at them, wondering why they had stopped.
"C'mon, let's go." Sonic said, and he grabbed Quintus by the wrist and took him along. Kyla stopped and her left eye twitched a little. She turns to Quintus and Sonic,
"I think I sense something..." Quintus looked at the door they had stopped at.
"Do you mean the one behind this door?" He asked.
"I sense that too, but this is something else." Kyla said.
"What?" Sonic asked. Kyla's ear turns a little. Something charges at Kyla from the air. It lands on her head. A red tail whacks her face.
"Aiiii!" She started running around with a tail whacking her, "Die monster! If I had my knife, you'd be dead!" Kyla throws the thing off and it hits the wall with a squeak. It hops to its feet (or hooves) and glares at Kyla with black shiny button eyes.
"CHAOS CONTROL!" Quintus shouted, and the small thing froze, locked in time.
"Who has disturbed us?" A voice asked from behind all of them. The three turn their heads and find two Alicorns. One was white with a flowing mane of colors. The one next to her was a dark blue and had a flowing mane of the night. The pony that attacked unfroze and ran up next to the dark blue one,
"They're intruders! They were about to attack you!" she said.
"There is no need to assume that. We are not here to cause any harm." Quintus said.
"I can sense darkness in the green one!" The small pony exclaimed. Kyla jumped back,
"D-darkness? I-I'm not evil..." The pony glares at her,
"Yeah right!" The dark blue Alicorn put a hoof in front of the pony,
"Teddy, don't just blame at random." Quintus glared at the pony now named 'Teddy'.
"As I said, we didn't come to cause harm." 'But believe me, we can.' He thought. "Could you introduce yourselves, and we can introduce ourselves?" Quintus asked. The blue pony stood up straight.
"I am Luna, Princess of the moon." She said. The White pony also stood up.
"I am Princess Celestia, riser and setter of the moon, and this is Insane Teddy." She added, looking at the small pony. The doll growls,
"Just call me Teddy. I hate being called Insane." Quintus glared at the small pony for an extra moment before looking at Celestia and Luna.
"I am Quintus the Godhog." He said.
"Hello, I'm sonic. Sonic the hedgehog!" Sonic said. Kyla was acting a bit shy.
"Um, I'm Kyla." She said. Celestia smiles at Kyla,
"It's very nice to meet you, child." Kyla shyly said,
"I'm not a child... I'm 14 years old." Quintus looked at her in confusing,
"You're 14?" Kyla nods. "But you're so small!" Kyla nods again,
"I know…"
"Well, I'm 512, technically 517, but I don't look that old." Quintus said.
"What makes you think 512 is old?" Teddy asked.
"Um, nothing really. I've met people older than myself. Why?" Quintus asked.
"I'm over a thousand." Teddy said.
"And my sister and I are about one thousand five hundred and thirty eight, give or take a decade or two." Celestia said. Kyla blinked,
"Oh my." Sonic makes a thumbs up,
"Cool. But we need some help. Three of our friends are missing and we need to find them." Celestia nods,
"Alright. Teddy will show you where they are."
"What?! Why me?" Teddy exclaimed.
"Because you 'know Ponyville like the back of your hoof,' as you say." Teddy grumbles,
"C'mon you three, I'll show you." Quintus just thought, 'No, I'm not walking.'
"Uh, would it be OK if I got us there faster?" he asked.
"I don't see why not." Teddy said.
"OK then. Ready?" Quintus asked. Sonic and Kyla, realizing what Quintus was about to do, took a step closer to him and nodded.
"Cool. CHAOS CONTROL!" He shouted, and he Kyla sonic and Teddy disappeared, leaving Luna and Celestia staring in shock at what Quintus had said.
"Sister, did he just say-" Luna asked.
"Chaos? Yes Sister, he did. I believe these three might not be quite as trustworthy as we thought." Celestia said.
"Well, at least we sent Teddy with them to keep them in check." Luna said. Celestia nodded.
Back with the four, they find themselves in the middle of the town. It was still empty. Teddy sighed and yelled,
"These guys are good guys! You can come out now!" The ponies peek their heads out.
"Why should we trust YOU?" One of them snaps,
"You attacked us!" Teddy sighs, "It was a misunder-" all the doors slam shut, "…" Quintus snapped his fingers and disappeared. A few moments later, he re-appeared.
"Sonic, would you happen to be acquainted with a black emo hedgehog with red stripes?" He asked.
"Yeah, that's probably Shadow. Why?" Sonic asked.
"He's in the library over there being...inspected...by a purple unicorn." Quintus said.
"Does the unicorn have an image of three six-pointed stars on her flank?" Teddy asked.
"How should I know? Do I look like a pervert to you?" Quintus asked. Teddy rolled her eyes,
"It's not being perverted. That must be Twilight. Let's go before she puts science experiments on your friend." Quintus sweat-dropped.
"Uh, I think we might be a bit late for that." He aid as the trio walked to the door.
"Why?" Sonic asked as he let himself in and walked down the stairs to the 'secret' lab to see...
Shadow tied to a chair with a device strapped to his head and little swirls in his eyes.
"That's why." Quintus said. The purple unicorn that was sitting at a computer looking at what looked like an X-ray turned around.
"Teddy? What are you doing with those weird creatures?" She asked.
"What are YOU doing with that one?" Teddy asked, pointing a hoof at Shadow.
"Science. Who wants to go in the chair next?" Twilight asked. Kyla, Sonic and Quintus each took a step back. Teddy sighs. She goes over to Shadow and unstrapped him out of the chair.
"Hey! What are you doing!?" Twilight exclaimed.
"Taking him out. He's not a lab rat." Teddy said. At these words, Kyla hid behind Quintus,
"Um... Maybe you should leave him..."
"Though the idea is appealing, we should get him out." Sonic said. Twilight, meanwhile, was looking at Kyla.
"What's wrong with the words 'lab rat'?" She asked, and Kyla shivered a bit.
"Oh yeah, and Teddy was half wrong. Shadow was created in a lab, as was Quintus, but Shadow is a hedgehog." Sonic said as he shook the anti-hero awake.
"I was also created about four hundred fifty years before Shadow." Quintus said.
"And Kyla... Well, she's a bit afraid of needles, that's all I'm going to say." Sonic said.
"I'm not afraid of needles!" Kyla snapped. "I just hate Eggman. I think he should be killed in cold blood!" Her eyes turn white. But they fade back quickly when Quintus and Sonic look at her. She tilts her head,
"What?" She asked.
"You just screamed about how you wanted Eggman dead." Quintus said.
"W-w-what?" Kyla exclaimed.
"Who is Eggman?" Twilight asked.
"I'll tell you later." Sonic said quickly.
"Are you feeling OK Kyla?" Quintus asked. Kyla nodded,
"I-I'm fine..." Teddy glares at her,
"Like I said, darkness." Quintus glared at the small pony as Shadow starts to gain consciousness.
"Don't shoot! I didn't buy the taco!" He exclaimed, sitting up. Quintus laughed a bit as he wondered what dream Shadow might have been having, but he stopped at the glare Teddy gave him.
"What? It's kind of funny." He said as Shadow looked around. When his eyes fell upon Twilight, he jumped up and held up a chaos spear in his hand, but Sonic grabbed him.
"Calm down there, faker." he said.
"Let go of me so I can blow her up." Shadow said.
"Not happening. Remember the rule?" Sonic asked.
"…"
"Shadow. Remember the rule?" Sonic asked again.
"...Don't blow up the innocents..." He said. Suddenly he saw Kyla in the corner of his eye. He stomped over to her and grabbed hold of the collar of her shirt. "You," He said with a glare, "are the one who led Omigi right to us!" Kyla started shaking in fear,
"I-I didn't know she was following me!" She exclaimed. Shadow slammed her against the wall,
"Don't lie to me, pipsqueak!" Shadow dropped Kyla as he was hit in the back of the head by a chaos spear. Shadow turned around and looked at Sonic, who shook his head and pointed at Quintus, who was holding another chaos spear.
"Great, another faker." Shadow said, glaring at Quintus. The Godhog growled.
"Chaos control!" They both shouted at once, and they warped each other away.
"...What just happened?" Twilight asked.
"I don't know. Kyla, are you OK?" Sonic asked. Suddenly Quintus reappeared.
"Well, I believe I just made an enemy." He said.
"Why, where did you send him?" teddy asked.
"Into an ocean. He sent me into the dessert." Quintus said. After a moment, a very wet and very angry Shadow the hedgehog appeared.
"Hey, you're back!" Quintus said cheerily. Shadow growled at him.
"I was teleported to an ocean and I find myself in a lake!" He snapped. Kyla gulps,
"S-Shadow... Can you please calm down...?" Kyla asked. Shadow glared at her,
"No way am I li-" Her eyes start watering with tears. Shadow shuts up. Then sighs, "Fine..." and he sat down to listen as everyone explained everything.
End chapter 1
Me: What do you think? Good?
Quintus: Let's hope that's what they think.
Kyla: Don't flame or complain, read and review! See you at the next chapter!
Me: Sayonara!
