Aaand here's the kickoff of All the Elements for Disaster: X Files! Yep, I'll bet you weren't expecting it this early, eh? I'd like to imaging that all this happens between chapters 11 and 12 (or episodes 9 and 10). Eeyup, this is gonna be fun!
The Mane 6, Spike, and Cobalt were stuck in the library due to a sudden storm. Cobalt was looking through some dimension warping books, Twilight was nose deep in writing her diary, Spike was napping along with Rarity and Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash was playing poker with Applejack, and Pinkie was bouncing around on the ceiling.
All of a sudden, Cobalt yelled, "I've got it!"
Everypony who was awake was startled, and all who weren't were jerked out of their rest.
"Gah!" Rainbow's wings flared in surprise, a survival adaptation, and launched herself into the air. Gradually she settled back down with a slight blush and gritted teeth. "Don't scare me like that!"
Cobalt snorted. "Sorry, but I think I've found how we can get to Metal Sonic."
"Do what now?" Applejack slammed down a poker card. "Now why in tarnation would you wanna find the evil varmit?"
"Because he has the chaos emerald, silly!" Pinkie sprang from the ceiling to the floor.
Fluttershy yawned. "What's up?"
"We're finding Metal Sonic." Twilight snapped her diary closed.
FLuttershy promptly fainted.
"You are aware you're completely mad?" Rarity clarified.
"Yes." Cobalt smiled. "Yes I am."
"And I lo–uh –like ya for it." Rainbow stopped herself before she let something slip.
"Now what do we have to do?" Twilight asked, readying herself for possibly the most complex spell she'd ever done.
"Well, according to this you won't have to do much. Most of the dimensional warping we clarified Metal Sonic did will be handled by the chaos it says to generate, and the rest will be taken care of by a nullifying pulse of pure harmony." Cobalt said, making it clear that they had everything they needed.
"We're behind ya all the way if you're sure." Applejack nodded.
"Completely." Fluttershy, who had woken up a few seconds ago due to an unusually short passing outing, whispered.
"It'll be super-duper fun!" Pinkie put in.
Rarity nodded. "Anything to assist a friend."
"Well, I haven't been on an adventure in the last, oh, two days." Rainbow grinned, giving Cobalt a noogie. "Ah, you know I love it!"
"I'll get the elements from Princess Celestia." Twilight added. "Spike!"
Spike wandered into the room with a sleepy look on his face, like he'd been rudely awakened. "Yes, your royal slave driver?"
"What was that?" Twilight asked sharply.
"Uh, nothing." Spike rubbed his eyes. "What's up?"
"We've decided to go and find Metal Sonic in his dimension to recover the chaos emerald that he took."
Spike processed this information and slowly pointed at himself. "We… as in me too?"
"Actually…" Twilight put a few moments of thought into it. "With any luck this should take a week at the most,"
"We've never had any luck." Cobalt muttered darkly.
Twilight shot him a glare. "So do you think you could hold up running the library for about that long?"
Spike saluted, simply glad to be out of the potentially dangerous adventure. "Yes ma'am."
"Good, I need you to take a note to Princess Celestia requesting that she send the elements of harmony to here at once."
Spike grabbed a scroll and quill and scribbled a quick note, sending it with his fire breath. A few seconds another letter appeared out of the flames from his mouth, followed by a box.
He unfurled the scroll and read. "My faithful student: I wish you luck in your endeavor, whatever that may be."
Cobalt opened the box and handed each of the mares their individual elements in turn.
"Aw yeah!" Rainbow cheered, pumping a foreleg as if in triumph. "Let's do this!"
Cobalt pried open a floorboard and snagged the emerald. "So, how exactly do I–" his eyes flooded pure white and he collapsed on the floor.
"Um, more memories coming back?" Fluttershy suggested.
"Ah hope so." Applejack murmured.
ONE TITLE SEQUENCE LATER
I would imagine this being a mashup between the Sonic X theme and the MLP FIM theme, with a more upbeat and rock feeling.
Cobalt struggled to his feet in a black world that seemed to trail into color further on. "Well this is new."
"How art thou, Cobalt Spikes?" he heard a familiar voice ask.
Whipping around, he relaxed. "Princess Luna! Why are you here? Why am I here?"
"I might ask the same questions." The princess of the night looked even more confused than Cobalt felt, but obviously felt comfortable enough around him no not use the royal 'we' or the royal Canterlot voice. "I was just going over the royal mail," She gritted her teeth and looked downward. "One of my least favorite duties, and I fell into this world. Art thou dreaming?"
"In a way, I guess. I think I'm going to get some more memories back." Cobalt looked thoughtful. "But I've never actually sensed anything but blurred shapes and voices. Is that why you're here? Do you know anything about my past!?"
"No, Cobalt. As the princess of the night, it is my duty to oversee the dreams of my subjects, and this duty must have bonded myself to thy dream." Luna blushed. "Uh, I do not think that if was for any other reason."
Cobalt raised an eyebrow. Why would one of the Princesses of Equestria act so awkward around him. "What, do you see something you like?" he flirted.
"Uh, heh," Luna blushed even harder and laughed nervously. What's wrong with me? she wondered. I-it's not like me to be so anxious for one of my subjects to like me. Why do I feel like this? Could it be…? She gave a slight shake of her head. No. I swore I would never love when I accepted my royal duties.
"So, anyway." Cobalt pressed on to the real business. "D'you wanna help me to find where this memory thing is?"
"I would be pleased to." Luna agreed, letting him lead the way into the darkness. After getting farther into the darkness, Cobalt's vision was attracted by a flickering video frame at the edge of his vision. A shape appeared, a black and red one that seemed to be in a fight.
The figure yelled "Chaos control!" and the image disappeared.
"Would that be what thou wert looking for?" Luna asked, giving Cobalt a glance.
"I think so." Cobalt nodded, he felt himself slipping back into consciousness. "It was nice seeing you, Princess."
"Please, call me Luna." she smiled warmly.
"Okay, well, see you around Luna! Hang on, three, two, one, and…"
BACK IN THE REAL WORLD
His eyes snapped open back in the library with the mares staring down at him.
"What happened?" Twilight asked as he flapped into the air.
"Never mind that!" he snagged the emerald. "Say goodbye to Spike 'cause we're outta here!"
"Bye guys!" Spike called.
"Chaos Control!"
The green emerald was sucked into his chest and he directed a golden laser into the nearest wall, which tapped into Cobalt's energy, which was evident as he collapsed onto the ground with gritted teeth.
"We've gotta help him!" Rainbow gasped in fear for her crush.
"Now, girls!" Twilight commanded, and started the rainbow of harmony, concentrating it on the point where Cobalt's beam hit the wall. It expanded it and formed it into a portal.
Cobalt struggled to his hooves and jumped into the portal and the elements of harmony stopped emitting the rainbow. One at a time the mares leaped into the portal and vanished into another dimension. Rainbow stepped in last, giving Spike a salute as she did so. Spike returned it as the portal closed, leaving him shell shocked.
"Huh, well that happened." Spike muttered. "Anyway there's a can of ice cream with my name on it!" he stopped for a moment. "I have got to stop talking to myself," he muttered, then he charged toward the kitchen, yelling, "To freedom!"
Yeah, that's right. I just did that.
Okay, so I'm going to work on this alongside my original story so that I can put in more Sonic X adaptations without keeping you all waiting for chapter 12 of the original.
Favorite, follow, review and all that, and keep out of trouble, my friends! I'm gone (for now)!
