Chapter 3: Meeting old friends

Sonic jumped up and flipped landing on his feet perfectly. "Hey Tails, do you still have that emerald tracker?" Sonic asked somewhat impatient to wait for an answer. "Yeah, why?" Tails replied. Sonic then, thought what he wanted to say and linked towards Tails' mind and sent the message. (One of the many powers Sonic and Tails have. Also, a small preview: sonic has powers of ice and tails fire) "Yeah! I can totally do that. I just have to re-wire my tracker to see if our friends got transported here too." Tails said out loud. Twilight had a look of bewilderment on her face. "Telepathic communication?" she asked Tails. He responded by linking into her mind and saying 'I can do it with anyone cause of the powers me and Sonic acquired'. "Cool!" Sonic suddenly said (try saying that 5 times in a row)"That gives me and Dashie here a chance to talk." Sonic said and suddenly grabbed Rainbow Dash who had been trying to sneak out of the house. When outside, Sonic glared at the rainbow mane mare like she had stabbed him in the heart. "What the heck makes you think you can buck me straight in the heart?" Sonic yelled. Rainbow Dash had muttered something under her breath he couldn't hear. "What?" he said calming down from his bad temper. "I said, you're lucky I'm not Applejack or you would have been bucked 8 yards across her farm." She managed to say louder. A thought came to the hedgehog, his mind growing ever so smarter, and came on a final decision. "Is Applejack the strongest in your group? If she is, we just find my good old friend Knuckles the echidna." He said. Just then, Tails came out of the house of Twilight with his creation in his hands jumping up and down excitedly. "I FOUND KNUCLES!" he shouted excitedly. Luckily, no other ponies were out and about so they didn't have to introduce these new creatures to them. "I did too and Dashie and Twily here are gonna take us to wherever." He looked at the map "Sweet Apple Acres is." He finished and sat on the ground. Sonic looked at Twilight as she had a huge blush on her face. "Twilight, why are you blushing?" Sonic asked curiously. "My brother Shining Armor calls me Twily and I thought no pony else new that." She replied still a blush on her face. Tails looked over to Sonic and said telepathically 'Sonic, she's mine and no one else's. Got it?' he finished threateningly. Sonic wasn't surprised, as he acted this way when Cosmo was still alive. "HEY!" Rainbow yelled at them all "We are wasting valuable time here." She said notoriously as everyone and every pony got up and took off toward Sweet Apple Acres after Sonic hid the map in his quills.

Sweet Apple Acres

Applejack finished bucking a tree right after collecting apples from another one. She heard a loud WHAM! And turned her head to see the new friend she made helping out by punching the trees with his fists witch had spikes on them and white gloves. "Ah told ya that ya don't have to be helpin me Knuckles." Applejack said as she trotted over to her new friend and moved him away from the tree as he started to talk. "Applejack, I want to help you and thank you for feeding me and giving me a place to stay tonight until I find my friends Sonic and Tails." As if on cue, Sonic and Tails appeared out of the sky and ground. "Speak of the devil and his apprentice." Knuckles muttered grinning at two of his friends. "Knuckles! Man am I glad to see you here." Sonic said stopping in his tracks in front of Knuckles who looked about ready to crush Sonic with a bear hug and was about to when he saw two more ponies, like Applejack, but with different colored coats and different colored mane along with that tattoo think Applejack called a 'Cutie mark'. The two other ponies made it up to where everyone else was and shook hands/hooves with Knuckles. "Knuckles, me and Sonic need your help finding the others. We presume that every one of our friends is with their match. Like I was with Twilight and Sonic was with Rainbow Dash." Tails said basically stating their plan. "I'm willing to find our friends only if Applejack can join us." Knuckles said while staring into Applejack's eyes. Applejack blushes a very deep red as Knuckles softly grabbed her hoof and walked over to join the stunned group of animals. "Tails can we look for Amy first? I really want to get that over with." Sonic pleaded to Tails to show him mercy. "Sure." Tails responded. Knuckles suddenly out of nowhere said "Sonic, Tails, when we find everyone, you two better start running because when I find out why I can use the force, I'm gonna bear hug them so hard their spine will crack." Tails had a look of complete horror on his face from the threat. "Let's find Amy now!" Tails yelled in an attempt to take everyone's mind off Knuckle's threat. "HERE." Sonic began to stretch his legs "WE." He jumped in the air high and landed back on the ground "GO!" Sonic ran off in the blink of an eye and appeared at Sugar Cube Corner with the map in his hands. 20 min. later, his friends all appeared behind him and went inside the sugary treat store to see a female pink hedgehog standing and making cupcakes with a pink poofy haired pony and three balloons for a cutie mark. Pinkie Pie, the pony, looked at her door with a smile and back at Amy. Apparently, everyone in the group knew who this was somehow, as they all said "Pinkie Pie!" then Tails, Knuckles, and Sonic looked at each other and yelled "YOU TWO ARE BRONIES!" and scattered from each other. As soon as Amy saw Sonic, she just looked and said "Hey Sonic." And walked over and gave him a hug and looked back at Pinkie Pie. "Hey Ames, we need you two to help us find Shadow, I know there is someone like him here." So Pinkie and Amy joined the group and began to look for Shadow.

Trixie's Tent

"Are you sure you don't need any help Trixie?" Shadow the hedgehog asked in a caring voice towards Trixie. "Trixie is sure." She sighed sad and frustrated. Shadow came over any way; He hadn't felt this way since Maria was alive. Shadow thought about Maria a minute and looked at Trixie. He went over and sat down and lifted her head up. "As long as you believe in it, it has to come true." Now, Shadow only knew these words were the right to say because he read her mind. Tails had created something to give his friends cool powers and ended up making everyone battle each other with their new powers. Trixie's eyes started to tear up when Shadow wiped them away and said smoothly "Shush now, an angel shouldn't cry." And then kissed her, no open mouth but it was a comforting gift. Just then, Shadow's friends popped out of a bush they had been hiding in for some time. Sonic looked at his opposite, as did Shadow. "Faker." They both said as they walked up to each other and whispered a conversation back and forth. Now, before being transported here, Sonic, Shadow Knuckles, and Tails had started to a band. Shadow gestured for Tails and Knuckles to come over to them and Sonic took the four necklaces he had in his quills. He handed the one that looked like a keyboard to Tails, the one that looked like a pair of drumsticks to Knuckles, the one that looked like a base guitar to Shadow, and took out two necklaces and put them around his neck as everyone else put theirs around their neck and their instruments were summoned. Sonic had a guitar and microphone stand in front of him.

(A/N if anybrony out there can guess the song right, they will be added to the story and given the power to shape shift or any other power you want. P.S the song is by 30 Seconds to Mars)
