One day,Fluttershy was flying through the skies,feeding baby birds because their mother was sick

"There there,little ones,your momma will be okay in a flash,no need to pa-NICK!" she yelled unexpectedly when she heard an explosion from a distance that caused her to fall down. She went to inspect it and she found a little red Echidna,fighting a big metal monster

"Oh dear,oh dear….." she said to herself,wondering what to do,she then thought of an idea

"I gotta go tell the others!" she said to herself as she flew to get the girls.

The red echidna was holding his own against the metal beast,matching it blow for blow

"YOU WON'T GET ME THIS TIME EGGMAN,EVEN IF YOU DO HAVE THE MASTER EMERALD!" the echidna shouted,angrily

"Don't be too sure Knuckles,I haven't even begun to fight yet!" Eggman yelled furiously as he flipped a switch on his mechanical warrior and it started to glow green

"Oh no…" Knuckles said,now all he could do was dodge attacks.

Five minutes later,the mane six showed up,and Knuckles was badly damaged

"That's him,that's him!" Fluttershy said,nervously

"Well then girls,lets go take that monster down!" Applejack said,trying to lasso it,but the rope burnt down when it came to contact

"Uh-oh…" Applejack said calmly

"Girls,we need to use the elements of harmony!" Twilight sparkle said loudly

"Yeah,lets do this!" Rainbow Dash yelled,then the necklaces appeared on all of their necks and a tiara on Twilights head. They all blasted him with the power of the elements of harmony in the form of a rainbow and he exploded and blasted off into another part of Equestria,a green piece of the master emerald fell down in front of them

"No…the master…..emerald….." Knuckles said before falling out

"So,whattre we gonna do with him?" Applejack asked

"He's badly injured, plus I don't even know what that thing is." Twilight Sparkle said,confused a bit

"Oh boy,a mystery!" Pinkie Pie blurted out

"Well,what ever it is,it sure is tough,being able to stand its ground against that thing!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed

"And I must say,it is kinda cute." Rarity said,calmly

"Now's not the time for that,we need to nurse him back to health,then we find outwhat it is." Twilight Sparkle said

"Well then its settled,Fluttershy,you take it in and nurse it back to health,you're the best with animals." Rarity said, confidence in Fluttershy's abilities

"Oh….ummm….I don't…."

"Oh come on Fluttershy,you can do it!" Pinkie Pie interrupted her

"And if he gives you anym trouble,just give us a holler and we'll come and get 'em for yah." Applejack said,lifting her front legs up

"Yeah,well teach him a lesson!" Rainbow Dash said,punching her front legs in the air while flying

"Well….I guess…..thats okay then…" Fluttershy said,quietly

"Well then,its settled,lets get him back to Fluttershy's hut so that he can heal." Twilight Sparkle exclaimed,and that is what they did
