I just wanted to share how "Operation Friendship" was supposed to look like originally.
This is one of the original titles (or rather one of the parts), which are still stored on my computer, but you likely will not see, because I have decided to make this story different. So. Firstly, initially in Equestria we had to get Shadow and Tails. Yes, again without Sonic. Why? Because it would be boring. How Shadow and Tails got in Equestria? Read the prologue to the current incarnation of "Operation Friendship", but there was no humor. Solid drama and cynicism, as I love to write.
A warning. Characters were made in anthropomorphic form. Average height 150 cm.
Actions take place fourteen years after the events of all the Sonic games, and three years after the events of MLP.

Twilight, Rarity and Pinkie shone shocked muzzles, viewing area, where was a pile of felled trees. Flash was standing in front of them, holding a spear, shining a stern look on his face.
"Who could have done this?" Rarity asked.
Twilight shook her head and looked at her worried attractive face, "I wish to know the answer to that question!"
"The answer to that question!" Was heard a low and dark male voice "Will show itself soon!"
Ponies' eyes widened, and then they looked at each other. They slowly turned to face the voice source. Aside fallen trees, behind which were seen two large red eyes that devoured ponies from the inside.
Twilight frowned, then took a few steps in the direction of the stranger, "Who are you?" She shouted.
"I am a lost soul who is looking for way back home!" The voice replied calmly. However, Twilight is not felt relieved. on the contrary, she was scared. For the first time in her life she was really scared. That voice just threw her into shivers. But she did not let emotions take over a top. She bared her teeth violently, then spread her wings.
"Whoever you are!" She shouted, "You're under arrest for the attempted conquest of Equestria and for kept at bay our world!"
"Kept at bay?" Calmly replied the voice, "But, no! Your sources significantly let you down!"
Twilight grinned even more, "Stop talking!" She shouted, "Come out!"
The voice fell silent, then his eyes slowly disappeared into the forest darkness.
"Do not you dare to run!" the mare shouted again.
"What makes you think ..." the voice spoke again, that made Twilight to feel nervous "... that I was going to run away?!"
Suddenly all four heard footsteps. Steps going through bursting branches lying around in the woods. The four nervous, then they all moved back slightly.
"Go back!" Twilight ordered once the steps grew louder. Rarity and Pinkie obeyed, then took a few steps back. Flash, however, remained standing in place, squeezing his spear in his hand even more. A few moments later came out of the trees a mysterious figure. Outwardly, he looked like a little of their people, but it was higher. Much higher. It was a man dressed in a white suit, black shirt and black shoes. On his hands were wearing white gloves with gold rings on his wrists. He was all black color, with prominent red stripes on his hair. His hair looked like huge needles that are only among the hedgehogs and porcupines.
Slowly and calmly, dark being walked around in an arc, looking down at his feet. It seemed that he went for a walk and totally ignored all external stimuli. But this is only seemed. He raised his head and looked toward the ponies most severe look that they could meet all of their lives. Enough to those scared gasped and stepped back slightly. A few steps later, a man stopped at one place, then fixed his eyes in the direction of ponies. He did not utter a single word, and made no movement, looking in turn at Twilight, then at Flash, then at Rarity, and then at Pinkie Pie. None of them did not utter a single word as if expecting a blow, or something else. However, the next stranger did was put his hand into the pocket of his jacket. Ponies gasped again, then Twilight and Rarity stood in a fighting stance and charged their energy in their horns. Flash pointed a spear in the direction of the stranger, trembling so hard that it seemed the earth trembled under his feet.
But the dark hedgehog, arching eyebrows, just took out a pack of cigarettes with a cigarette lighter, and then showed it to ponies for they calmed their nerves. The guys felt a slight relief, then straightened up in their growth, and frowned. Except for Flash, who continued to tremble, clutching both hands on his spear. At that time, it was the only thing that could protect his life. Dark creature shook his head before stick a cigarette in his mouth. Having hide a pack of cigarettes back in his pocket of his jacket, he lit a lighter and lit a cigarette. Then he removed the lighter in the pocket of his jacket, fixing his stern and focused look on ponies, looking them in turn, as a predator who chooses the victim.
However, all this time, either Twilight, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, or Flash made no a single movement. They just looked at the mysterious stranger with a focused look, waiting for the one who took the first step. Deathly silence reigned between them. For several minutes, a dark the hedgehog and ponies, exchanged glances. Not a movement, not a single word. It started a psychological attack. Each of the five, who are now standing here checked each other fortitude. But little girls are inferior to what the dark hedgehog in the psychological resistance. Of course, they feel in danger, but did not allow emotions to take control over them. They all looked into the dark hedgehog's eyes, meeting with his stern gaze. He looked back at them, not even blinking and slowly smoking a cigarette.
But there was one person who stood closest to the dark hedgehog, felt fear, and how his emotions began to take the upper hand over him. He trembled slightly, frowning at the dark hedgehog, and fiercely baring his teeth at him. He pulled his spear end pointed at the dark hedgehog, and the sweat rolled down his face. It was clear that Flash was held from last forces and that his composure start to leave him.
And, of course, this picture has not gone unnoticed for the dark hedgehog who turned his glare to the orange pegasus and fixed his eyes on it. He realized that Pegasus is now going to losing control of himself and attack him. This means that he need to be on full alert. Arching his eyebrows, dark hedgehog put the cigarette in his lips, then took one last puff before it ended. Exhaling smoke, he took his hand away from his face, holding his cigarette between his thumb and forefinger. As soon as he breathed a huge cloud of smoke from his mouth, he opened his fingers, causing the finished cigarette to start to fall to the ground.
Once the cigarette hit the ground, Flash rapidly spread his wings and pointed his spear on the dark creature. At this point, his composure finally dissapeared.
Girls understand his intentions and gasped in fright.
"Flash! Stop!" Twilight shouted, "That's an order!"
But it was too late. Pegasus rushed towards the hedgehog with all his strength, uttering fierce cries. But as soon as he flew to his goal, the dark the hedgehog sharply and with incredible speed knocked the spear out of his hands with his left hand and grabbed him by the throat with his right. He squeezed his throat so tight and so strong as it was in a vise. And that grip each time becoming stronger. Flash made his eyes wide, once the dark hedgehog caught him. He grabbed him by the arm and tried to pull away from his grasp, but he felt that he was not strong enough, and how with every helpless flick of its wings, and with every effort, the air in his lungs was becoming less and less. He realized that he can not afford to cope with this monster, but he realized it too late. He drew his pleading and mournful eyes into the dark hedgehog's, panting rapidly.
The dark hedgehog just glowered at him in response, reading in his eyes a plea for mercy. But he only shook his head slowly, before saying only one severe, but apt phrase.
"You little milksop!" he said coldly and sternly, before squeezing his throat with all his force. After that pegasus completely lost the ability to breathe. He took one deep breath and closed his eyes, unable to endure the terrible pain. But after five seconds, the darkness is fully formed in his eyes. Flash lost consciousness and stopped moving. Dark being shook his head in disapproval, then flung the young guard to the right, as a doormat. His unconscious body met with the ground ten meters away from the dark the hedgehog.
The girls looked shocked at the lies and immobilized body of their companion. They were unable to move, trying to understand what they have just seen was true. But a moment later, they were back on the ground and walked quickly to his side to help him.
*BANG*
There was an incredibly loud and deafening boom, and at the same time something strongly hit the ground in front of the girls' legs, causing them to stop and make their eyes wide again. They froze, then slowly turned towards the dark hedgehog, who was standing in the same place where he stands. But this time, he streched his left hand at their side and held some huge L-shaped thing. A hole in the barell is smoked.
"Stay where you are!" He demanded.
Twilight bared her teeth fiercely, "What have you done?!" she yelled, "You killed him!"
"Killed?" asked the hedgehog coldly and with arched eyebrows, "Oh, no, young lady, he's alive! For now!"
Twi again made her eyes wide and her mouth opened once he said those words. She slowly looked at her subordinate, to ensure that this monster is not lying. And it was true. Flash slowly and helplessly breathing, lying on the ground unconscious. Making sure that it is true Twilight slowly returned her gaze back to the mysterious stranger. He continued to take aim at them without blinking.
"White and pink girls. Grab this dweeb and get out of here." He looked at Twilight, "And you... you'll stay!"
Rarity and Pinkie gasped in surprise and shock. But then they frowned and stood before Twilight.
"You're a monster!" Rarity said coldly, "Do not even think, that we will leave our friend ..."
"Rarity." Twilight interrupted her. Rarity made wide eyes, then looked at her friend. But to meet her soothing and gentle glance.
"Please take Flash and go back to town."
"What?" Rarity protested, "No, dear. We will never leave you alone with this monster."
"Twilight, have you forgotten?" Pinkie Pie broke in, "Friends to the end. We can only win together."
"Pinkie Pie." Twilight said softly and soothingly, "Please. Sunset will not survive if anything bad happened to him. He needs help more than me. Just take him to the hospital, and go back."
The girls showed to their friend sad eyes, not wanting to leave their friend alone. But they had no choice. They squinted, then tightly hugged their friend, hugged her. Twilight, of course, hugged them back, and her eyes closed. It was possible to notice the tears flowed from her eyes, as if she sees her friends for the last time. After they had finished hugging, they looked at each other again.
"We'll be back, Twilight." Pinkie Pie said, then glanced at the the dark hedgehog and frowned, "Do you hear? We'll come back and make you pay for what you did."
Dark the hedgehog arched eyebrows, "What have I done?" he asked sarcastically, "He attacked me with a spear, and I just defended myself. You, young lady, have too biased attitude to life!" He frowned, "Get out, before I change my mind!" He cocked the gun.
Pinkie shook her head, then looked at Flash and walked toward him. She ran to him, then picked him up on her shoulders and headed towards Ponyville. Rarity watched her go before looking at Twilight.
"We'll be back soon!" she said, before quickly follow Pinkie Pie.
Alone with a powerful enemy, Twilight waited until her friends disappear from her sight, before frowning again and look at the dark hedgehog.
"I assume that you have a gun." Twilight suddenly spoke.
"Oh. You know what it is?" the dark hedgehog asked her, slightly surprised by her knowledge.
"I do." mare responded still cold, "I was in a human world. They oftenly use a firearm." She bared her teeth, "And if we're talking about the human world, then you've just knocked out boyfriend of our ambassador from the human world. She would be very unhappy that he got injured."
Dark hedgehog shook his head in disapproval and arched eyebrows. It seemed that he was not afraid of her warnings and simply took it as follows.
"I don't care, even if he's the president's husband." he said coldly and neutrally, "I asked you to stay for not to exchanging the threats." He straightened up, then raised his gun at the face level and removed the trigger, "I want to talk."
Twilight arched eyebrows, "Talk? About what?"
"I want to offer you a deal." dark hedgehog answered once hid the gun in the holster, which was hidden under his jacket and crossed his arms, "We have realized that you are not a friendly race, but try it's worth. We just need to take one thing that got to your world."
"And what is this thing?"
"I'm afraid I can not tell you that after your people attacked us in the sea, imprisoned me in jail, and then tortured. Information about this stuff is strictly secret, and knowing about allowed only to a narrow circle of persons, where there's no place for you or anyone else in your world."
"And what did you want to ask me?" Twilight asked him again.
"I want you to leave us alone." dark hedgehog said, "We don't neeed your world. We don't need any of you. We don't need any victims. We need you to stop persecuting us and gave us to do what we need to do. This thing belongs to our world, and I can't let it to got to your hands. We are obliged to return it home. We do not need your help! We do not need your advice. All we need is you do not interfere our work!"
"And when you find what you are looking for, what do you do then?" Twilight asked, not really believing him.
"We will go!" dark hedgehog replied coolly and confidently.
His words cut into the heart and mind of Twilight as the bullet that pierced her through. She narrowed her eyes, then bared his teeth and looked nowhere, starting to ponder the words of the hedgehog just told her. Had he not lying to her? What is this thing that got into their world, and they need to take back? Where did they come from? Why they attacked Rainbow Dash in the sea, if they do not need the victims? And the most important thing. Whence came these two. After all, neither he nor the other, which came to her in a castle like no one of the creatures with whom she met.
No, there were too many questions that remain unanswered. If your question is not answered, then it's all a lie. He could think of anything to avoid punishment. In the end, Twilight has repeatedly faced with this. Frowning, mare raised her head again and met his eyes. She clenched her teeth even more, making it clear she did not believe a word he said.
"Have you decided that I believe in this crap?" she asked menacingly, "Do you think that after you attacked my friend in the sea, and killed all these salts, then your words will become greater credence? All your words are just as false as your non-existent things about which you speak. I do not believe a word of it."
Dark hedgehog disappointedly narrowed his eyes and slowly shook his head from side to side. This girl was incredibly stubborn and short-sighted, refusing to believe. Crossing his arms, he said only a single sentence.
"I'm very disappointed. I thought that you and your mind will be able to come to a reasonable solution." He frowned, "But it seems that I was wrong. Lady, better do as I ask you, or case for you will turn worse."
But Twilight did not answer him. She frowned harder, then sent her energy into the horn, and her eyes were painted entirely white. She opened her wings, then slowly waved a few times before gently and slowly soar into the air. Understand at a height of about five meters, it hangs above the ground, showing her strength and power.
Her opponent, however, did not seem impressed. He just sighed in exasperation and arched eyebrows, looking up at her. But it was only the outward calm. Inside, he felt the least excitement, because this girl is not as simple as he thought in the beginning.
"So, this is how you decide." he said, "Very well!" He frowned, then got into a fighting stance, "You would be the worse of it!"
"Enough talking, hedgehog!" Twilight shouted, "Better surrender if you don't want your own fate become worse!"
But instead of answering, hedgehog grinned as supervillain, "Surrender? So fast?" he asked ominously, "Oh, no! The fun has just begun!"
He looked in front of him, then took the starting position. A moment later, he rushed away, with incredible speed. His movements was so fast that left behind a black-and-red stripe. Twilight frightened gasp as soon as I saw what he could do, and then start looking for him in panic across the arena. She realized that the battle will not be easy.
"Why don't you come up here and fight against me on equal?!" a voice was heard. His voice. And, somewhere above her. Twilight looked up at the completion of a high mountain, which was behind. She saw him there, standing at the top and looking down at her, menacingly.
"I hate when I'm forced to wait!" He shouted threatening tone.
Twilight bared her teeth in response, and then flew up. Once she caught up with him in height, they fixated their eyes on each other, exchanging furious expressions.
"Do you even know who you're dealing with?" Twilight shouted.
Suddenly, a hedgehog's eyes were painted in crimson, and he began to shine corresponding light. At this point, there arose a strong wind that was moving in a circle, provoking Twilight's hair to sway. Twilight's eyes widened once felt a strong wind rose. She realized that things are even worse than she had expected.
"You're not the only one who knows how to manipulate its own life energy!" He snarled a furious tone, "And your pathetic magic tricks are nothing compared with the power of Ultimate LifeForm!"
Twi broke down and shoot an energy beam at him. However, the hedgehog quickly dodged it, leaping to the right side. He extended his right hand toward her before screaming.
"Chaos Blade!"
From his hands broke a small but deadly beam of energy, flying straight into the violet pony. Twi gasped, then abruptly created a shield around herself. But as chaos enegry beam met with shield, it burst like a soap bubble. Twilight gasped before dodging another beam, which flew in her direction, then again and frowned at him and shot another magic attack. But the dark hedgehog again easily dodged and rushed to the right side struggled. Then he jumped on a lower level, then pulled further along the mountain road with great speed, leaving behind a strong dusty trail.
Gritting her teeth, Twilight struggling rushed after him, trying not to remain away from him and not to lose him out of sight. But it seems that she did not have enough speed to keep him in sight, because the only thing that reminded her that her goal was out of it, it's dusty trail. A minute later, she noticed how dusty trail began to fade slowly, and as the dust settled on the ground. She made her eyes wide and gasped, realizing that he was running away, then waved her wings even stronger, trying to accelerate. But it was useless. Once Twilight rounded a corner and in front of her opened a picturesque hillside, she soared a little higher, then re-froze and started to looking around, trying to find his signs.
But he was not here. He's just disappeared somewhere. She looked at the mountain behind her, where was almost no vegetation. But in addition to rocks and stones, she saw nothing. Baring her teeth and frowning, she again began to look around.
"Where are you gone?!" she shouted, "Show yourself!"
"I'm down here!" the hedgehog's voice was heard again.
Hearing it, Twilight gasped, then looked down. She could see him there, looking up at her, his arms crossed and shaking his head contemptuously. One had the feeling that he is not tired, and looked hearty. Twilight froze in shock, not knowing what to do. Then dark hedgehog, then ominously grinned, seeing that she was a little in puzzlement.
"I must say that I'm very impressed!" he said, referring to his voice teasing and contemptuous tone, "I didn't think you're able to keep up with me. Not bad."
Twilight did not answer him. She frowned even more after her horn glowed brightly. A moment later, she disappeared with a sharp and bright flash.
Dark Hedgehog questioningly arched an eyebrow. It was completely unexpected. He began abruptly looking around, trying to find her signs. And he saw her standing on the left, looking him in the eye, sternly frowning and making it clear that she is not afraid of him. Much to the hedgehog arched his eyebrows in puzzlement.
"This is something new." he said to himself.
Violet mare ominously grinned in response, perfectly heard his words, "And you'll get even more surprises!" she said, before shooting at him another beam stronger than it was before. However, as soon as the beam hit the ground and caused a small explosion, dark hedgehog disappeared into nowhere. Again. Enough to smile on the Princess' face, who wiped her forehead with left hand and sighed in relief.
"Phew, that was easier than I thought." she said to herself.
"I wouldn't say so." gloomy dark hedgehogs voice protested directly behind her. Twilight gasped again, then slowly she looked over her shoulder. Dark hedgehog, who is fifteen meters from her, sarcastically clapped, approaching slowly.
"Not bad." he said, crossing his arms, "Even very good. However, this is not enough anyway." He arched an eyebrow, "My offer still stands, girl. GIVE UP!"
Twilight threateningly bared her teeth, making it clear that she is not going to give up, "NEVER!" she shouted, before getting into a fighting stance, open the wings and shoot him an energy beam.
Dark hedgehog again easily dodged her attack, jumping to the right and shot his own chaos-attack into her. But Twilight was also not miss. She easily dodged his attack, immediately soaring up into the air. After rising to a height, she again shot him several times.
Dark Hedgehog dodged all her shots, moving so fast that his opponent did not have time to catch all of his movements. Dodging, he shot at her his chaos energy beam. Twilight again dodged the beam, then re-launched a series of attacks. Though, somewhere deep down, she knew it was useless. He was too fast for her.
-\\-
Through the forest thickets and trees, orange fox raced with all his speed, tightly holding hands on his bag that hung on his back. He did not seem to notice the fallen trees, deftly jumping over them, even without reducing speed. Catching could see how some soldiers with spears and swords continue this pursuit, hoping to catch him.
"Stop!" one of the guards shouted, "In the name of the law!"
Miles glanced quickly over his shoulder, flashing fury on his face.
"F*** you!" he shouted, then looked ahead and significantly accelerated. Guardians quickly began to lose his sight. They exchanged glances with each other with surprised eyes. Glancing forward, they also tried to accelerate, but the fox ran from them farther and farther away.
Miles continued his run with obstacles, jumping over trees, caving in under the branches, and gradually increasing speed to accurately break away from the tail behind him. When he reached the place where the land ends Miles strongly pushed off the ground with his right leg and jumped up high, waving his arms and legs.
The guards ran out of the trees at the moment when he jumped over half a precipice. They stopped short, noticing how the fox literally flies over the abyss.
"It's impossible!" muttered one of them.
Miles successfully landed on the other side of the chasm, bending the right knee and leaning his right hand on the ground to extinguish the jump energy. He breathed deeply and evenly, to restore the loss of air. After he breathed enough, he rose to his feet, then looked to the other side of the abyss, where the guards looked at him with shock on their faces, unable to believe that the fox can jump over the precipice.
But the fox just smiled in relief as he able to break away from the chase. Then he adjusted his bag on his back, so it was easier to carry it. He firmly grasped the two straps of his backpack, then shook his head, grinning at the guards.
"What's the matter?" he shouted mockingly, "You can not jump? HA! Losers!"
He quietly laughed at them, then turned and headed deeper into the forest at the design point of the meeting. But his calmness is melted as soon as he heard screams in the air.
"There he is!" girl's screams were heard, causing Miles to wide his eyes, "Grab him."
Miles gasped, before abruptly looking back and turning his eyes at the skies. There he saw several Pegasus flying right at him with great speed. Realizing that the chase has just begun, and that he should not hesitate, fox frowned and bared her teeth, then looked back at the forest. Without hesitation, he rushed into the thicket, knowing that there he would have a better chance than in open space.
Pegasus team, which was led by Rainbow Dash glanced at each other, as soon as they noticed that the fox continued his run through the woods.
"He is yours, girls!" Rainbow shouted, "Attack this bastard, as it should!"
They just grinned back, then glanced at the trees. They sped up, then down, and began to fly over the trees, carefully glancing through the trees, trying to see a familiar figure. They could see how the fox is running on two legs with great speed, deftly dodging and jumping over obstacles. It seemed that he did not even know that they are so close.
"Hey, fox!" shouted one of them, causing the fox lift his eyes and look up, "Better give up, if you do not want to get injured."
Miles frowned in response, then looked forward. He accelerated even more, trying to break away from them.
Pegasus' looked at each other again, then nodded to each other. Turning their eyes back to the fox, they ducked under the trees. Now the fox was right in front of them, and approached slowly. Miles once again looked over his shoulder to see where his followers. Seeing the two Pegasus' flying right behind him and slowly approaching, he again looked forward, then activated his arm canon in a paralyzing mode.
Running up a small river, he jumped over it, then quickly turned back to the jump and set his sights on them. He made one shot in each of them at a time when they were only a few meters to catch him. Each of the girls received a jolt of electricity, which instantly paralyzed their muscles and they fell with a thud on the ground. Miles, in turn, fell on his back on the other side of the river, then rolled upside down a few meters before landing on his stomach. He painfully gritted his teeth and growled to contain the pain that struck him in the moment of impact with the ground.
Opening his eyes, he quickly got to his feet. Well, as soon as he could afford, then he glanced at his pursuers. They're lying on the ground paralyzed, breathing big air portions and with bulging eyes staring at the fox.
He shook his head in disapproval, "You idiots!" he said softly and irritably.
"Girls!" Rainbow Dash's voice was heard. Miles sharply made his eyes wide, then looked up at the sky.
Dash in the company of several pegasus landed next to the injured, then sat down on her knees in front of them. She took one of their cheeks and fixed his eyes on her while the rest checked the other Pegasus.
"Hey." she called out anxiously, "Can you hear me?"
Her friend blinked her, implying that she is still alive. Thereafter Rainbow frowned, then bared teeth and got to her feet. She glanced at the fox with a menacing look.
"You bastard!" she said vehemently, "What have you done?!"
"I temporarily paralyzed them!" the fox said coldly and sternly, "This effect will take place in fifteen minutes! Of course, it's unpleasant, but it is better than broken bones or deep gunshot wounds!"
Dash got into a fighting stance, and prepared to take off on him. But then she changed her mind as Miles aimed his weapon at her.
"Ah-ah! Don't do this if you don't want to join them!" he demanded still coldly, "Leave me alone! I wish you no harm!"
"You are lying!" Rainbow growled in response, "If you do not wish us harm, you would not have attacked us in the sea!"
The fox sighed in exasperation, before shaking his head, and frowned even more, "If I wanted to wish you harm, I would've killed them!" he said sternly, then took one step back before loudly say, "Chaos Control!" and disappear with a bright flash of light.
Rainbow Dash and her group made their eyes wide, as soon as the the fox again vanished into nowhere, then quickly looked at each other, hoping that he teleported close. But it was not here. Not a single sign that he was here at all.
"What do we do now?" one of the Pegasus asked.
Rainbow Dash sighed, then picked up one of the victims, "We need to take them to the hospital!" she said, then looked at the others, "And then we go back and kick that bastard his double-tailed butt!" She spread her wings, "Let's fly!" The others nodded at her, then raised another wounded. They flew into the air, then rushed back to the town to take injured to the hospital.
-\\-
Miles appeared in an unknown location with a bright flash of light. He slumped to his knees and hands on the ground, coughing heavily. He's not often used Chaos Control himself, but when he used, it always turned bad, and his insides turned inside out. Figuratively. He coughed for about three minutes before calm down and begin to breathe deeply. Opening his eyes, he looked down at the ground, then growled furiously.
"I'll never use it anymore!" He rose slowly to his feet, "Shit!"
He hunched over and holding his leg, he continued to make up for the loss of air before to look around. He was still in the forest, however, is far from the spot where pegasi almost caught him. He put his arm canon back into the backpack, looking around the area. Again, dense vegetation, many trees again, and again he was completely alone. Much for him to smile in relief, then took hold of the straps his backpack. But once he got ready to leave, when suddenly ...
"Here!" a woman's voice was heard, "Ah've heard it here!"
He made his eyes wide, then slowly looked to the right, where there were numerous steps and heard this voice that gave the Texan accent. A moment later, a certain orange pony, dressed in gray jeans, brown boots and a red shirt came out of the trees, in the company of several guards. She made her eyes wide, seeing a fox, standing in the middle of the clearing, then sternly frowned and got into a fighting stance. The guards, who were standing behind her, pointed their spears and swords at him, also standing in a fighting stance.
"Da not move, partner." she said with a cold tone in his voice, "The more ya' move, the worse."
Miles, however, did not seem to hear her words. He blinked three times before frown and stoop.
"Oh, come on!" he growled in frustration, causing Applejack and the guards make their eyes wide.
"Excuse me?" Applejack asked in amazement. But there was no answer. Miles struggled rushed away. However, after the Chaos Control, he could not run at super speed for now. So he ran at normal speed, that was enough for his irritation.
"Catch him!" Applejack ordered, before running after a fox with the guards.

Meanwhile, not far from here, Twilight flew over the mountain slopes, with her horn surrounded by violet aura. Her battle with the dark hedgehog was just in full swing. She carefully watched the way he ran in circles around the earth, and sent in his direction one of its attack after another, in hope that at least one of them will hit the target. But, unfortunately for her, the dark hedgehog easily dodging her attacks do not seem to notice them. Dark Hedgehog, it would seem, should have been for a long time to lose this fight, because the air was in the hands of the Twilight. But he was constantly in motion, running, jumping and tumbling with such great speed that it was hard to get into him. Violet pony inflicted a series of attacks after the other, and each time the dark hedgehog dodging these beams easily.
Doing another circle around Violet pony, he leaped into the air, then the spectacular movement and shouting "Chaos blade!", he sent another beam in her direction. Then he landed on the ground and stopped to take a short break.
"Shadow!" Tails called him on the radio. Shadow arched eyebrows, then quickly he picked up the radio and lifted it to his lips.
"Miles." he replied, "Do you reached the agreed point?"
"No!" Miles told him on the radio, "I managed to lose a tail, but it had come with me a second." Shadow squinted in annoyance, "Can you help me? I used Chaos Control, and I can not run to my full potential."
Shadow severely bared his teeth, seeing as Twilight sent to his address a series of attacks, then rushed to the right, continuing to hold the radio in his mouth.
"I'm a little busy, Tails!" he shouted in response, "I have a date with the girl that you call a major."
"Damn it! Then what do I do?!"
"Think of something!" Shadow stopped abruptly, then rushed to the left, again forcing her in circles "This is your IQ is 400, not mine! You're a grown man, Tails. Just kick teir asses!"
"Okay, since you refuse to help me, then just say so! Give this girl hello from me, and try to make sure that she was still alive after this date!"
"Roger, over and out!" Shadow hung the radio back on his belt, then bared his teeth, looked forward and accelerated even more. The strongest gust was created under the influence of his super-speed, trees sagged forward and bushes, almost Skorn escaped out of the land. But that was only the beginning. But that was only the beginning. Running up the mountain Shadow ran vertically up the steep slope, not only reducing the speed and increasing it.
Twilight immediately stopped and made her eyes wide, seeing what a hedgehog that. But then she shook her head again and flew behind him, the pre-charge energy in her horn.
Shadow reached the first attack, which he met. Mechanically he slightly jumped up, then landed on a rock ledge and turned sharply on his opponent. He saw the violet mare is flying to meet him, and how her horn shines brighter and brighter as it was preparing a series of attacks. However, he did not care. He was sick of it. Fiercely baring teeth and frowning, he waved his hand in her direction before loud scream ...
"ENOUGH!"
His voice was loud enough that she heard him. Stopping and making her eyes wide, Twilight hung in the air, looking at him with a questioning look on her face.
"I repeat for the last time, that we did not come here to conquer you!" He shouted, "You stupid mares not listening to what the others people say to you!" He grinned, "I suggest you stop the fight and fly, as long as you are still intact! Leave us alone, and we will not hurt you! We just take what why we came and will leave your world! You won't even remember that we were here!"
Twilight frowned again, after he finished, "Don't you dare lie to me again!" she cried, "If you are not conquerors, and not criminals, why did you kill all those soldiers that were sent after you? Why you attacked two pegasi who just wanted to find out who you are?"
"We did not kill anyone!" Shadow shouted in response, "And we did not attack anyone!" He pointed a finger of his right hand toward her, "You silly girl! What the f*** do you thinking?"
Twilight could not stand his last words, and sent her in the horn as much energy as she could send at this point. With violent and harsh cries, she shot him the most powerful energy beam that she even could shoot.
But her opponent was only waiting for this. Shadow jumped sharply on another mountain ridge until the beam hit in the place where he had been standing. The beam destroyed ledge to the ground, creating a powerful energy blast that shattered the rock and made a huge landslide. It was enough to dark the hedgehog finally flew into a rage, knowing that she will fight to the last, and would not back down. Frowning and baring his teeth, he looked at his opponent.
Twilight was breathing deeply, filling the weakness and significant loss of air, hovering in the air, eyes closed. Opening his eyes, she looked at her opponent has a tired look. But, just to gasp again as soon as she noticed his gaze. This look, which is whole appearance said, "I've had enough!". She began to understand that all that was before, it was only a game, and now. Now she has a serious problem. She could see his eyes once again painted in crimson, and his eyeballs disappeared from his eyes. As blood-red aura surrounded his body, and as the wind began to blow around.
Shadow slowly removed the two rings from his wrists, and then put them away in his jacket pocket. Then he flexed his knuckles on his hands, making it clear that it will hurt.
Twilight came off slightly to the side so she had a better chance to dodge the attack, re-energize at the horn, then hung in the air, waiting for what will be his next move.
But the dark hedgehog just looked at her back, preparing for the epic battle.
"You want in a bad way?" he asked coldly, "Alright! You'll get in a bad way!" He extended his right hand toward her, "CHAOS SPEAR!"
A powerful beam of energy flew from his right hand. Twilight gasped, then barely dodged it. She felt the wind blew at her side, and he was blowing stronger than before, when he sent in previous attacks. Glancing back at him, she frowned again, then shot him with her attack. But it was useless, as he again dodged it. And not just ducked and jumped down from the ridges and rushed on a nearby mountain at full speed, leaving behind pores of the strongest wind. He began to play catch-up again, but this time, he played the role of catch-up. Running up a nearby mountain, he glanced around sharply again, jumped up and threw into her another Chaos Spear.
Twilight cried, then again dodged the attack. Only it was given to her even harder than before. She began to breathe deeply, then jerked to the left, hoping that she could use his own method of attack against him. She dived into the mountain trees, and then began to fly in circles through this as quickly as she was able to fly. With furrowed brow and clenched teeth, she carefully peered into the trees, hoping to find signs of her powerful opponent.
"Do you lost someone?" His voice came to her left. Twi again gasped, then I looked to the left. She saw him running beside her, his eyes still burned.
But she was not afraid. She shot him with an energy beam, however, the dark hedgehog only accelerated even faster, overtaking Twilight as if she stood on the spot. Realizing that this metot does not work, she decided to change tactics and rushed sharply to the left. She flew a few trees, and then flew into the open space and landed on the ground. Taking a deep breath and carefully looking around, Twilight start to wait until he finds her. She carefully peered through the trees, waiting for his arrival. But he did not appear. He just disappeared somewhere. She stood one minute, then two, then three.
"You definitely lost someone." Shadow's voice was heard again, causing Twilight to frown. She looked behind her. Only to see him walking slowly and leisurely along the arc, still surrounded by crimson aura and still with burning eyes.
"In my opinion, an open space, this is the last place where you can fight, lady." he said coldly and calmly, "Because there are not so many places to hide."
"I'm not going to hide from you!" Twilight snarled in response.
Shadow stopped without taking his eyes off her, "Really?" he asked, "But I think this is what you're doing now." He crossed his arms, "Or am I in some way wrong?"
"Now you'll know about it!" Twilight said before to grab a log with its magical grip and throw him. But he deftly broke the log into pieces by shooting chaos spear, then rushed to the Twi. She dodged his attack and abruptly soared into the sky. Then she levitated a few logs in the air and, up to a certain height, threw all the logs at him.
However, the hedgehog deftly dodged it, then sprinted at full speed in her direction. Leaping from trees and power attacks, he strongly jumped into the sky, then charged chaos energy in his hand.
"CHAOS BLADE!"
He shouted, and shot her another chaos-trick. Twilight dodged. With difficulties. She gasped, feeling that she loses this fight.
Shadow landed on the ground, his back to the mare, standing on top of a high cliff. He looked back at her over his shoulder. He watched as she caught her breath and once again soared into the air to prepare a new series of attacks. He grinned, then looked down and pulled down a cliff. He ran down the cliff a few hundred meters before the abrupt stop and jump to the other side. Jumping to the opposite edge of the abyss, he rushed up putting for this all his strength. With a speed three times bigger than the speed of sound, Shadow reached the top, leaving a black trail and then by inertia flew up by several hundred meters. Once the jump energy drained, dark hedgehog began to fall down from a great height, in the pose of skydivers.
Twilight, lost sight of him looking around, trying to find him, she accidentally looked up. Noticing a familiar figure Twilight bared her teeth and rushed forward.
Pony and the hedgehog "flew" towards each other for a few seconds until they are met. And the hedgehog disappeared with a bright flash of light that passed through Twilight, significantly harming her. She screamed in pain and began to lose control over their wings. She began to turn somersaults in the air from side to side. However, after some time, she curled up, then suddenly waved its wings, trying to regain the balance. Success. As she regained control, she began to look around in panic, flashing frightened attractive face. She felt even more terrible. She realized that he was just playing with her. And now for the other rules the game began. Looking around all the immediate vicinity, Twilight found that someone was looking for and again frowned and bared her teeth.
The dark hedgehog standing on the cliff top (again), shoot into a girl the most stern look in the universe, in a cool pose, placing his right foot on a rock and clenched both hands into fists. He did not take his eyes from the Princess of friendship, knowing how much dangerous she is.
"It's not too late to fly away!" Shouted Shadow warning tone "Consider this my last warning!"
Twilight again did not listen to him. She just bared her teeth even more and began to flap her wings, trying to create a gust of wind. She cahged up her horn with all her energy, which she has remained. Horn shone brightly. A moment later, she was released in the dark hedgehog his most powerful attack. A powerful beam of energy.
The dark hedgehog, realizing that he was waiting too focused on all of its energy, which remained with him, then shot his chaos-spear with a spectacular movement toward. The beam of chaos-energy met with Twilight's attack fractions of a second, and as a knife cuts the oil, it broke her attack into millions of tiny sparks. But this path is not stopped. Destroying Twilight's attack, chaos-spear continued on its way toward the violet pony.
Meanwhile, Twilight was breathing deeply, restoring power after such a powerful attack, while continuing to soar in the sky. She opened her eyes and looked at the place where it flew. But then she gasped, noticing how deadly beam flying toward her. She immediately tried to create a shield around herrself to to protect herself from the attack. But it was too late. Chaos Spear struck instantly in her horn and Twilight start to sparkle and flash, as if it had happened a short circuit. She screamed loudly and painfully, surrounded by electrical discharges. A moment later, she lost consciousness and started to fall down.
Shadow standing on one knee, restoring forces after a powerful trick. Rising to his feet, he took a deep breath, then looked at the place where it was Twilight. Only to make your eyes wide, seeing how the girl falls down from huge height. He bared his teeth fiercely, then looked around at the mountain to find something that could help him to make a good jump. Shaking his head, he struggled and rushed with incredible speed on the cliffs, leaving a black trail and a hurricane gust of wind. He could not afford to have someone killed in his fault.
When he reached the edge of the table, he pushed hard and pulled the injured to help. As he flew close, he abruptly grabbed Twilight in flight, then landed on the ground with a powerful blow. On the ground, you can see how dark the hedgehog gulp air after a crazy run, holding in his arms the body of the unconscious violet pony. Restoring the air, he opened his eyes, then looked at the injured, he was holding in his hands. She moaned painfully, showing signs of life, then slowly opened her violet eyes. The first thing she saw is two huge crimson eyes that look straight into her soul.
"Silly girl. You could have been killed." He said calmly. Twilight was too weak to answer. A moment later, she completely had fainted.
...
And so on and so forth.
In general, if you realize that in the beginning "Operation Friendship" was supposed to be a cruel and cynical thriller. And in this way I wrote it a little over a year ago. And immediately respond to questions. Yes, there will also be a Silvarity couple. But, I decided to rewrite. Do you think I acted correctly, and I should leave "Operation Friendship" in the original format?
