I'm really planning for this story to be long, entertaining and awesomely amazing. I would very much appreciate any advice I should partake to make this story better. This is my FIRST Sonic/MLP fan fiction; hell, this is my very first fan fiction I've ever procured.
(Please note that sonic team and the MLP Mane6 and characters are anthropomorphic bipeds, if you look at Shepherd0821 fan art of mlp shows how they look like: fs71/f/2012/244/a/3/profile_picture_by_))
I DO NOT OWN SONIC AND TEAM OR MLP! NOR THE CONCEPT OF shepherd0821's versions of the mane6!
But please enjoy :)
Chapter One
Tails, a yellow-orange, medium-build Kitsune worked diligently underneath his huge, metallic beast; his prized possession, the Super Tornado F10. Soothing soft rock music was playing from an old radio he found while he worked in his junky, three-story garage that was filled to the ceiling with scrap metal, engine blocks, rusted out axles and other various mechanical systems you can think of.
Suddenly his music started glitching and buzzing as if he was receiving a bad signal. The signal then cleared a bit and the music returned momentarily, resuming as if nothing had happened. Tails bewildered face faded into a neutral expression only to be replaced again by bewilderment as the radio then started to make unrecognizable voices, they seemed to be female and yearning for help.
"a-ah s-s-om-one...he-l-*chsssssssh*p-us-s *chssssssh* w-w-we *chsssh* un_deer-r *chssh* at-aack! *BOOM*"
The scattered signal then died slowly as Tails's music in turn slowly tuned back in, and at that moment a tall hedgehog with Cobalt blue spines going down his head and, dressed in a White and blue racing jacket and dark blue Levis jeans with a single chain protruding from the pocket to his belt. He had piercing emerald green eyes that flashed as he walked to the door of the workshop. He stood at the doorway and leaned on the door frame, eating a chili dog, done to perfection.
Tails pulled himself out from under the Super F10 just enough that his furry orange and white head poked out. Looking at him, eyebrows furrowed in confusion of what he just heard. "Did you just hear what I heard?" Tails asked, looking at Sonic, hoping he wasn't just hearing things.
"Norpe... *burp*" the blue guy said with his mouth full. "Why?". He finished his dog then wiped his mouth as he headed toward him.
"I-I don't know, the radio signal was disrupted by another signal, sounded like someone was trying to say something..." The Kitsune trailed off, lost in thought.
Sonic just looked at his friend in a deadpan state and shook his head, "Anywaysssss, have you finished with the Tornado yet?"
Tails returned to Mobius and scratched the back of his furry head as looked around at his creation. "I mean, sure, I just need to install a GPS and intergalactic personnel tracking and it'll be all set-.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, you won't need those things at the moment, let's take this baby out for a spin!" Sonic exclaimed, eager wanting to get out of the boring house. "But Sonic-," Tails interjected only to be interrupted as Sonic jumped into the open cockpit of the Jet.
- Somewhere high above Mobius airspace. -
There was a shiny, crimson-red, astronomically large warship aiming large anti-spaceship cannons at another enemy ship. Painted proudly on the side of this God of a ship was the black logo the infamous mustachioed face, known as no other than the Eggman.
The Great, fat-man himself sat in a large, round command chair that overlooked the humongous bow of his ship. He was on a mission; dumping his previous plans, he was now following the paragon of all Treasure ships. He have been following a this "specific target" for a while now, being that it radiated with something the Big Man wants. Upon command the cannons and Guns aboard Eggman's vessel started to charge up and fire upon said specific target.
This specific target was a pristine, creamy white ship with large, glorious Sunsails. Embedded in the sails were crystalline, glowing hexagons (similar to the ones off of treasure planet if you see the movie). The sides and trim of the glorious ship donned gold plating that sparkled with radiance and beauty. Many hand carved grooves and symbols was embellished into the creamy white wood everything about this ship screamed beauty and power, wealth and importance.
On the bow of that marvelous ship stood; in a decorated white commanding uniform with a beautiful saber sheathed on her hip, is known as the All-powerful and very Pulchritudinous Leader of Equestria, Princess Celestia.
She stood unfazed by the Round man's trial of bombardment of her ship, for she know her magical shield would keep her and her crew safe from the exploding display that barely rocked the ship.
Well, until…
After a few minutes of his fruitless assault on the ship Eggman smiled evilly and stood up out of his chair. After taking a sip of his "super big gulp" soda that was sitting nearby he began to give out orders, "Okay, I think I had enough petty playtime with this bitch, take down her shield, take whatever sending off that potent ray of valuable on her ship, and kill the rest." he lazily stated while he waved away his most trusting of robots, Decoe and Bocoe to ready the Emerald Blaster, a very powerful ray that was powered by the artificial chaos emeralds he made. He turned around and pressed a few buttons on his holographic control panel and walked back to the huge window overlooking the bow to watch the fireworks.
Celestia continues to stare nonchalantly at the Headship of Eggman's hardly intimidating spaceship and was lost in thought wondering how she came into this predicament.
- Flashback -
~~ The Celestial Ship was heading back home from its occasional royalty exchange with the planet Criptérë (pronounce it however you wish) to exchange matters of foreign policy and certain treasures. This expedition was to bring to Equestria the Book of I̱ gnó̱si̱ tou Theoú (The Book of God's Knowledge)
Being as it was a very powerful and valuable book, only the king of Criptérë trusted the Leaders of Equestria to bring their national treasure to their kingdom: home to the famously powerful Elements of Harmony, and Universally known by leaders to have the most Magically Potent forces ever. ~~~
-Present time-
"This Character here must have sensed the power seeping from the ship; he must be a pirate..." Celestia's thoughts trailed off as a shorter, but as equally beautiful woman, and arguably more intimidating than her kin, walked up slowly behind her, she bore a dark-navy military commanding uniform.
"Tia..." She spoke with a stern, businesslike manner "... Do you wish for me to return fire?"
Celestia, now with her left hand holding her jaw thoughtfully, slowly shook her head, "No. Luna we need to safely return home as quickly as possible, besides-"
"No?! Surely you do not think that your almighty shield can hold up to this much bombard-AGHHH!" Luna shouted out in sudden shock as the mighty cream-colored ship swayed harshly.
Her sparkling teal eyes were transfixed on a bright, powerful beam focused on the shield exactly 10 feet from their faces. Does that beam have the potential to rupture her shield and destroy them all? Shock turned into relief when her shield absorbed the deleterious attack.
Or so she thought...
Eggman sat in his extra-large chair smiling widely as the Emerald Blaster focused it's incredibly potent ray of power into the shield. Decoe and Bocoe returned into the room and projected holographic displays of the power status of the ray and The Celestial Galley shield systems; both decreasing steadily as the Emerald Blaster poured it's raw energy into the shield and the shield systems of the Galley deteriorating as the negative power coursed through it. Eggman smiled villainously at this. "Tell the Attacker divisions to prepare for the boarding of their ship." And with a more frowning, sinister face, "and get me whatever's on that damn ship."
Blaring sirens was heard all over the vessel as blinding red lights erupted from spotlights and deck lights. Celestia looked back at the blaring lights breaths coming in short inhales as she knew what that meant. "CODE RED - CODE RED!" a crew member hollered in panic. Luna ran back and forth to the crew members to try and calm them down. When she soon figured it was futile she returned to her sister. "TIA! We have to get out of here, we-!" She took another look at the light-pinkish Celestial shield and noticed it was starting to flicker, its brilliant aura dimming to a dull champagne pink. The ray also dissipated at this time and the shield was gone.
Celestia stared at horror as her titanic shield was destroyed and even more so when she noticed a horde of attacking units from the Crimson warship descended upon the Celestia's ship at high speed.
And then it hit her.
As if in slow motion, she watched as the huge barrels of the main Crimson warship start to rotate toward her vessel. Thinking quickly she used her magic to teleport herself into the command center of fleet. In the command central she found Luna already commanding the cannon operators to take aim and get ready for battle. Suddenly the ship lurched sharply as the ship took a heavy dose of explosive rounds.
"FIRE EVERYTHING!" Luna yelled in her commanding voice as she withdrew her elegantly deadly saber from her sheath, pointing it at the main Eggman warship, her face bearing a face of fury. As soon as the words left her mouth the Celestial main plasmatic howitzers rained fiery back at Eggman. Celestia, seeing that order over the attack was being taken care of, retreated to the force-field system module and tried to regain power to the Force Field systems but to no avail as she went to the radio transmitter and tried calling to the most nearby planet, Mobius.
"HELP! WE ARE UNDER ATTACK!" Yelled the Princess, just when she transmitted the message heavy caliber rounds met the commanding cabin, shocking her.
A frantic, scrawny crew member busted through the commanding quarters door and in pure fear shouted for the captain. "PRINCESS, THEY'RE BOARDING THE SHI-..." The last part was cut off by the sounds of gurgling blood as his cranium was no longer connected to his neck.
Luna stared in a state of horror, only to be quickly replaced by sheer anger. She cried an angry war cry and stormed down to main deck, her sister following closely.
Heavy, mechanical robots were boarding the ship wielding huge electrified broadswords and hand Gatling guns. Already crew members were trying to fight off these metal contraptions: The Pegasi flew above the carnage and rained heavy caliber semi-automatic sniper rounds upon the robots or hard hitting lightweight machine gun bullets. The unicorns channeled magic to their hands, shooting rays of energy at the robots, destroying the lot of them, while the Earth beings used their high strength to end the miserable bots with heavy shotgun fire and heavy iron gauntlets to bash them up. But sadly there was only more and more robots arrived succeeding in conquering the ship.
Eggman laughed hoarsely at the Princesses attempt to get rid of his metallic warriors as his seemingly unlimited forces of attacker units poured on the space vessel. He looked in the air above her ship and saw flying bodies shooting down his robots with ease. He frowned at this and flipped a black switch on his dash board which raised his automatic .50 caliber Sniping system. The gun raised itself out of the hull of the ship and pointed right at the avian above the ship. A deep red dot pointed at his mark as his ship self-aimed the rifle at the flying bipeds. .. The dot stopped at one of their heads.
Eggman smiled.
*Pfffttttttterrrn* - BOOM
Celestia was busy hacking away with her magically enhanced saber at the death machines boarding her craft; cutting them mercilessly down with ease. Using her magic she lifted one in the air and clenched her fist, in turn crushing the robot within her magical grasp. She smiled as her crew was drawing the robots backwards, surprisingly this attack haven't gained casualties from The Celestial Galley.
*THUD*
Luna, fighting beside her sister, felt the thud first that sounded behind them. She looked back and had to double check to confirm what she saw was real. Celestia noticed her shocked face and looked where her eyes was fixed to. A body with a head so severely split apart and deformed it didn't look real. The skull was split in half with an eye missing, the face was tearing off the side and brain was everywhere.
That was the final straw.
Luna eyes grew into an intense, blazing white and her horn glowed brilliantly. She levitated briefly above the ground as she makes her power transformation. As she lands back onto the deck she dangerously eyed the robots around her with a hatred glistening in her now hard-white gaze and with one swoop of her hand she eradicated the opposing forces from existence. Burned by the infernal fire that was made of her potent detestation and utter animosity for her opposition. Celestia watched as her sister changed into Nightmare Moon, wishing she wouldn't do that, for her offensive capabilities are almost all powerful, but her defense is reduced to zero. Luna swished her blazing saber at any approaching attacker unit sending slashes of high frequency energy exploding the units upon contact.
Eggman laughed as he shot down more of her flying crew, he laughed hysterically until a bright flash of white started cutting down his forces to none.
"Okay. Enough of this" Eggman screamed angrily.
A white, puffy thrust tail came from the Super Tornado's quadruple high performance Quaker® jet engines as Sonic and Tails zoomed through Mobius airspace. The F10 roared smoothly through the air, barely interrupted by the crosswinds and turbulence. They made small talk on their test run, talking about the usual, machinery, girls, and why, on Mobius was Eggman so quiet?
The Mobius evening sun starts to set and darkness was imminent.
"Well, it's about time to take this baby back home-," Tails started to say and proceeded to adjust the controls to prepare to return home.
"Wait, why? You BARELY flew the thing, you said it yourself, and we need to test the F10 to our highest capabilities." Sonic complained.
Tails rolled his baby blue eyes at this and sighed in defeat, Sonic lounged back further in his seat smirking in victory. As he lounged he looked up through the cockpit glass. Sonic's eyes observed and squinted at what he saw... fireworks? Bright explosions erupted above them, without a sound.
"Hey bud, can this plane go into space?" Sonic asked, still looking up at the "fireworks"
"Uhhh, I guess... But-" Tails trailed off, looking up in thought. And when he did his baby blue eyes twinkled, gazing questionably at what did look like fireworks.
Without another word, and his natural curiosity taking over Tails pulled back his twin Levers built into the futuristic looking steering wheel which in turn increased the plane's altitude and speed. After flying for a few minutes the plane started to sound alarms warning Tails that he has reached the ceiling limit and his engines started to stall thanks to the lack of oxygen in the air. Tails noticed this and hit a few buttons to initiate his powerful Rocket thrusters. The jet engines then stopped abruptly causing the aircraft slowed down and started to free fall back backwards. Tails repeatedly kept pressing the button to initiate the rocket thrusters, and panic started to rise in his throat and feeling his heart with anxiety, his external thrusters aren't firing! The F10 continued to free fall backwards gathering speed quickly, Sonic tapped on Tails shoulder and sheepishly chuckles, and say "Uhhh, buddy, you do know we are falling to our deaths right hehe..." obviously keeping his optimism. Tails envies him and ignores his sly question. "C'mon, c'mon, c'mon..." Tails coaxed the plane softly while gritting his teeth, he repeatedly pressing the thruster switch hoping it'll finally fire. Tails's mixed emotions of panic and frustration made him irritable and he started kicking under the dash "Come on you piece of SHI-" he kicked right into the switch manifold box and the thrusters immediately kicked in over 200,000 lbs. of thrust and cause them both to shoot back into their seats as the plane shot out towards the edge of the atmosphere.
Once free outside Mobius atmosphere and in space they found out what the "fireworks" was. In front of them was a HUGE, red dreadnaught releasing havoc onto a smaller but still very large, creamy white Galleon ship. Tails and Sonic both gawked at the size of the gunship ahead of them, and even more so when they saw the cliché and malicious logo on the side.
"Eggman." They said in unison gritting their teeth in disgust at the name.
Eggman started pressing some colorful buttons and flipped a yellow switch which raised a platform with a comically large red button sitting it. The ship whistled and whined as the process began to inaugurate. Eggman smiled widely at this. Outside the massive hull, the bow of Eggman's vessel began to transform and retract, revealing a very capacious, brightly, glowing orb. The orb continued to glow ever so brighter until Eggman pressed a button with a gloved hand. His smile grew ever so wider.
"Ske-doosh."
There was a cataclysmic pulse that shot out of the orb that immediately grew dim due to the sudden release of pure energy. The infernal, raw energy projectile shot out towards The Celestial Fleet at high speed and deafening droning sound.
Celestia and the rest of her star-stricken crew onboard stared in apprehensive silence as they watched the herculean hull of the master warship convert and reveal a massive glowing orb. And there was silence.
Nothing.
And there was not sound but the crackling of the splintered wood under stress from the previous attacks from the enemy warship.
Nothing.
Though a tiny flicker of something shiny, like off of metal, exiting out of Mobius airspace caught Celestia's brilliant purple eyes, but they returned back to whatever was pointing at them, anticipating the worst.
Luna, first to break free of the glorious orb's shining stare, and still in her Nightmare form, smirked and drew up the most powerful shield she could muster; sparkling dark purple/blue in front of the Celestial Fleet. "Humph. This shield should..." Luna cockily started.
Just at that second there was a deep, stomach throbbing, droning sound that erupted from the initial release of the orb casting its energy at the Celestia's fleet. The blast roared deeply towards them filling it's victims with intense dread as it mercilessly slammed headstrong into the shield, going through it like paper, then through the ship.
In the seconds following everyone who braced for the attack stood and sheepishly started to chuckle lightly in relief. I mean that's what they've would of done if they could.
Can't chuckle without your lungs right?
The energy released upon them was a special neuro-plasmatic (cold type) that shuts down your nervous system, and eventually, if not cured, making you as useless as a rock.
The avian Pegasi that was hovering above the Galleon found themselves plummeting towards the deck of the ship- hitting it hard. Within seconds everyone was on the deck writhing in a desperate attempt to grasp just the tiniest bit of air. But they couldn't. Their starving lungs screamed for it. But unfortunately they couldn't relieve its despondent screams, and within a moment just about everyone on deck blacked out.
Sonic looked on curiously towards the white vessel as Tails maneuvered the F10 closer to the Eggman master warship.
Just then there was an enormous pulse of light and a heart-skipping droning sound that pierced the airtight cockpit of the Super Tornado. Tails's electronic systems started to flicker and give out for a second and they felt their breath get away from them. Once the massive pulse shot farther away from them and towards the Galley their precious breathing was caught back. Tails briefly looked back at Sonic; whom wearing the same gawking, bewildered face as himself. "What was that Tails?!" Sonic asked slightly fearful and gasping, obviously still shocked for having his breath taken away so suddenly.
Tails looked back towards his command panel and pressed a button and a bright holographic HUD came up with vitality stats and read: *'1.8% of Lethal Neuro-plasmatic levels in your area'* They both looked back at the victim's Cream colored Galleon and saw a glittering, dark blue force-field-like barrier being constituted, only to be obliterated by the pulse, the pulse then seemingly hit the ship with so much force, but it also seemed like it did nothing at all as the deteriorating energy from the projectile wisped gracefully around the galley for a few seconds before disappearing completely.
"Hah! Another failed weapon Egghead!" Sonic cheered happily.
Which was short lived.
Suddenly they saw a figures fall from the area above the ship fall; another, and another, and so on until they was all on the deck, was convulsing with agony or unmoving. Tails maneuvered his creation closer to the attacked Galley, but making sure he stayed close to Eggman's mountainous vessel to decrease chances to being spotted. Suddenly Eggman's warship engines started to roar to life as it proceeded closer to the attacked. Tails sped up as he stayed with Eggman. When they got closer to the Cream colored vessel the ship seemed dead, everyone onboard was either writhing in desperation or was sprawled out in a way that seemed like it'll haunt whomever that looked upon their absolutely scared faces , for life.
Eggman was no longer in the commanding quarters anymore, but now in the departure room ready to walk out onto the deck of the Celestial ship he just attacked.
*Thump* The landing ramp lowers itself on top of the deck and Eggman walks out onto the main deck of the Celestial ship, upon doing so he smiles to himself, clearly exultant at his easy victory. He stalks his long legs around and over the downed people, and towards the leaders of this ship. He found them; Luna, unconscious and eyes wide with shock as she ceased to breath, and Celestia, struggling with all her might to bring the life supporting gulps of air to her lungs, magic still coursing through her, quickly depleting, but keeping her alive, for now.
"Ahhh, *he checks his high-tech wristwatch computer finding out who they are* Uhhh, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, glad to meet your acquaintance." He say as he sticks out a hand mockingly as for receiving a handshake, knowing his attack would render them to vegetables in a few minutes, if not treated.
"You gals mind showing me where you're hiding that powerful treasure from me?" He said still looking down at them. Celestia's dulling purple eyes looked up at Eggman with so much anger. Eggman saw this and mockingly say, "Egad! She is giving me the evil eye! Oh my, I hope she doesn't, *and with spitting this last part out* DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!" Eggman mocked, now laughing hysterically. Pulling out a Walther P38 and pointing it towards a crew member trying to fight against the effects of the plasmatic weapon.
*BANG*
He pointed to another one.
*BANG*
"What are you going to do about it?! Huh?! Celestia?!" He shouted in her face. Anger. Just sheer anger was given back to the mad, mustachioed man.
Then Eggman pointed his black P38 towards Celestia, right against her nose. He tensed his finger. Smiling hard and psychotic in her face.
Eggman's ship came to a stop at the Brilliant Galley and within a second he was walking off onto the white ships' deck. He walks around until he stops at two downed figures with horns on their heads'. He stoops down and seem like he was talking to them.
"Should we intervene?" Tails asked Sonic as they both checked out the scene.
"Looks that way" Sonic replied back to his friend, he unbuckled his seatbelt as he prepared to get out.
Just then a gunshot was heard, then another and Sonic's eyes widen. "Open the cockpit door right now." The seriousness in his voice made Tails shiver a bit. But he opened the hatch and Sonic stood up and got ready to Home-Attack the gun outta Eggman's hand.
Celestia couldn't move. All she could do was gulp in the painful, rank breath of Eggman's shouting in her face.
Anger.
All she could feel was anger and nothing more. He was the reason why so her crew is going to die.
He was the problem, and she need to eradicate him. But she knew that was futile, I mean how she could; she's dying on her most powerful ship, with a bald, fat guy yelling in her face, not to mention he pretty much turned her into a vegetable... She hated vegetables.
In the corner of her eye she saw a jet plane like vehicle slowly rise above the bow of her ship. Silently, the cockpit of it rose and a hedgehog like creature with spiky quills stood up out of it. Her eye shot towards him, and Eggman noticed this. He quickly turned and pointed his P38 towards whatever she shot her glance at.
Too slow.
Nothing but a blur and a yell and a gunshot was seen and heard.
It was all too fast, what happened?
Sonic jumped out of the cockpit and with his trademark lightning speed and precision home-attacked at Eggman's hand, which wielded the gun. He quickly shot forward and Eggman turned around sharply and pointed the gun at him.
Sonic barely managed to knock the gun out of his hand in time but when he did the disarmed handgun hit the deck it fired and unfortunately Sonic was in the unprejudiced path of the bullet. The bullet came out of the barrel and thankfully, to Sonic, it only went through only the top part of his ear and onward towards Tails.
"Watch what're doing Sonic!" Tails shouted as the bullet hit right where his head would have been, if it wasn't for his highly resilient plastic/glass compressed compound cockpit windows.
"Hehe, sorry..." Sonic chuckled sheepishly.
"DAMN YOU SONIC!" Eggman yelled to the top of his lungs. He then hastily pressed a button on his watch and the hull of his ship started to retract to blazon a Shiny black and red M134 Minigun. It started to slowly rotate, faster, and faster. Sonic stared in disbelief and jumped up high into the air just as soon as the liquid lead started to pour out of the great pitcher of death.
Tails fumbled throughout his cockpit and found what he was looking for: the neuro-plasmatic antidote. He picked up a dull green and grey, plastic gun and loaded an antidote capsule into it. He aimed it at who he thought was the leader and fired it, just in time too, because Eggman had retrieved his trusty gun.
Celestia panic silently to herself as she saw Eggman retrieve his handy-dandy P38 and as if in slow-motion he turned around, his psychotic grin plastered stupidly on his face. His ugly face. But just then something tiny and flying fast towards her got caught her peripheral. Then it hit her. She thinks.
At once she started to feel feeling again, whatever had hit her started to give her a warm rush of feeling, power restoring, but at a creep. Her breathing came back in short breaths, but still, the refreshing air quenched her thirsty lungs.
A sharp gasp.
Eggman, unaware of this, still coming towards her, he aims his gun and-
*ZWOOOOOOSH*
Celestia puts as much of the little power she rejuvenated and put it in a single flap of her large, white wings, propelling her 20 feet in the air. At this time the sun was behind her and poured its warm light onto her magnificent, large wings. The sun gave her strength; it's warm, tickling fingers etched into her soul, filling her with happiness. She could stay there forever, well, if it weren't for a mad man staring up at her in a WTF glare who was also holding a gun, a Mini-Gun spraying bullets around the place, and her current predicaments below her: her beloved sister and crew.
At this time the Minigun had run out of bullets and Eggman is starting to reevaluate his choices. He ran back to his ship and his ship started to drift backwards in retreat. Celestia, now full of the suns energy, shot towards the ship, for she has a score to settle. She charged up her horn with magical energy and channeled it to her hands, magic sparked around her, and she pointed her hands to the ship. She smiles and get ready to blast this damn ship out of space-
A very large cannon blazoned itself out from the top of the ship, pointing it, NOT at Celestia, but her ship.
Eggman cursed and cursed and swore up a storm as he reentered his ship. He stalked quickly to his command panel. The ship, which seemed to have a mind of its own, had ran full diagnostics and searched for any power sources on the Celestial Galley. The ship then spoke to Eggman in a computerized female voice.
"Lord Eggman, the Book of I̱ gnó̱si̱ tou Theoú is located in the lower hull bunker. Room 18, cell 6, locked in reinforced steel laced with diamond strands and formally highly powerful magic-" Eggman held his hand out to silence the ship and started to grin evilly, "Well, I guess this hasn't been too much of a disaster. He pressed a few buttons and he quickly glanced outside his balcony view of the deck and saw Celestia pointing her pale white hands towards his ship. He smirks and presses a big yellow button and a large cannon rose out of the ceiling of his ship. The ship self-aimed it towards exactly where the Book of I̱ gnó̱si̱ tou Theoú was resting.
*BOOM*
The blast burned through ship like it was butter and a brilliant blue glow erupted from the debris radiating more power than Sonic do at Super Sonic, Hyper Sonic almost. Eggman's greedy eyes started to eyegasm as he quickly pulled a lever, and a comically massive claw-like grappling device sprang from the ship, towards the glowing artifact.
Sonic jumped out the way thinking the large cannon purpose was to eradicate him from existence. Instead the weapon pointed towards a position on the deck of the ship. Celestia quickly got out the way, too thinking the cannon were going to be used against her. The cannon shot a large, fiery blast towards the ship and once it did its job a blinding blue light pierced the eye-sockets of Sonic and now Tails as he stood near him, injecting Luna and other crew members with the vital antidote. Celestia gasped loudly as she knew what was about to happen, as if she read the ship's mind a massive hook sprang towards the debris and retrieved a secure diamond and steel box, inside it, something of Herculean power, and glowing furiously, Sonic decided of staying put till he processed all this in his mind, was Eggman really going to win this time?
"No, not while I'm alive" Sonic thought aloud and with a serious face and tone.
He charged up his light speed attack only to be shocked by the Massive pulse of magical energy that hit Sonic like a crashing wave. Celestia boosted out towards the retreating hook and ship, but to no avail as while they was distracted Eggman had charged up enough energy and used his wormhole technology to disappear in a loud crack and photonic blast.
Celestia just hung there, lazily flapping her wings, staring out into the empty, vast space to where Eggman had just been not even a second before. Being out of range of the Her ship's life supporting, oxygen infiltration systems and gravity stabilizers she started to choke on the vacuum around her, she teleported back to the deck and stood.
Sonic and Tails looked at her in worry, they both proceeded to walk cautiously towards her, since they've already injected who they could with the antidote; not many came back from the other side, only Luna and a couple of other strong and magically adept.
Celestia dropped down to her knees. She failed. She failed to protect her crew; she failed the King of Criptérë, and failed herself. The amount of embarrassment and shame washed over her in waves and Sonic and Tails sensed it. She collapsed and blacked out.
Sonic and Tails looked at each other then back around them, what have they gotten themselves into?
