Hello people of the internet! Welcome to another Friendship is Friendship: Maya Rocks! Like before, it is a ShadowxOcxSilver story. And I forgot to mention, I do not own the Sonic or MLP characters except the OC. But I do own Sonic Rush... If that counts. Enough to of my babbling and get to the story!
"We're humans?!" The three teens that were hedgehogs shouted in unison. The other two went to the window mirror where Sonic looked to see their new forms.
Silver is still bewildered by this and started to pinch himself to see if he's dreaming or not. Shadow looked calmly at his human self and wondered if they still have their powers. He focus his energy to the palms of his hands to make a harmless Chaos Spear, but nothing came up. Sonic on the other hand is digging his new look once he finally grasped the hold of the trio being humans.
Gotten used to the situation at hand, Shadow said, "Well I guess that answers the question of using unstable Chaos Emeralds. But the bigger question is 'Where are we?'."
The golden eyed teen averted his eyes from the mirror to have a good look at the city they're in. Sonic did the same. It was a bright city, but the teenagers that reside here doesn't look cheerful at all. Pretty weird for something that looks like a city that have affectionate people here.
The three walked around the city while Shadow explained that their powers are useless here. Silver tried to feel his telekinesis in his hands, and like Shadow; nothing. Sonic was the most unfortunate one here. He gets easily bored without a little speed. The fastest thing alive is now slower than before. Instead of complaining about their powers, they decided to search for anything suspicious in the area, yet a few minutes later, they found a blank. They went to a nearby cafe called Sugarcube Corners to devise a plan to make scanning the area a lot more faster without the two teen's super speed.
"Aw man." The blue haired teen moaned. "We didn't got any sort of answers in this town. This really sucks."
The silver haired teen sighed. "It doesn't mean we have to give up. All we know is that the teens here are a bit edgy for some reason. Think about it, since all the residence of the city are so friendly, why is it that the teenagers here aren't? Is it because of this unknown force that we're suppose to stop?"
Shadow hummed for a moment, thinking about what Silver said about the teenagers here. "It might be so, but maybe it's a teenage thing. We have no clue unless we at least talk to their parents, I believe. The only problem with that is that we can't just say what the heck is wrong with your kid. The people here will automatically get suspicious of us."
They thought very carefully about the situation at hand. It is true on what Shadow said, but for some reason, he knows there's an obvious answer. He couldn't put his finger on it. They are all still a bit shook up about the trip, so it makes the situation harder than it's supposed to be.
They let their thoughts in them to see if they can think of anything at all. But suddenly, something interrupted their thoughts. "AAAHHH!" A sudden shriek pierced into the mingling air and then crashed onto the floor. Everyone caught the sight of a girl with silver air with mocha eyes and creamy skin. She is wearing T-shirt with a purple star outlined with golden-yellow and wearing the same hairclip but it's sparkling with blue shorts. Her attire were stained with a chocolate shake and whipped cream all over her.
The girl smirking and standing has long, curly orange hair with darker tone of orange streaks, moderate raspberry eyes, and skin of a pale green apple. "Whoops." She said in a sarcastic tone, "Sorry about that, but I do have to admit. You look better with chocolate in your hair."
"Hey!" Everyone looked at the other direction to see three teenage boys with dark blue hair, black hair with red streaks, and silver-white hair glaring at her. The white hair male looked away from the orange head to if the silver hair girl is ok. He reached into his pocket to get a handkerchief to clean up her face. "You alright?" She nodded.
"Say." The blue haired teen arrogantly spoken, "What you did there wasn't cool at all. The nicest thing you can at least do is apologize to her."
She scoffed, still has a smirk on her face. "Why should I? You're not the boss of me."
Soon, two other girls came to the orange haired girl. One of the, has pale, light greyish fuchsia colored skin and moderate purple hair the brilliant aquamarine streaks in pigtails while the other girl has artic, bluish skin with a long ponytail with sharp cut bangs that is artic blue with moderate persian blue streaks. The only thing that they have in common is their raspberry eyes and a ruby stone around their necks. "Adagio. Who are these cuties?" The purple hair girl asked.
"Oooo..." Awed the blue haired girl, staring at Silver. "Can I have this one?"
The girls smiled at each other while Maya was beginning to panic. (Yet I am surprised no one saw.) And the hedgehogs that turned into humans are confused. "l'll have the tall, dark and handsome one."
"So that leaves you with me, Big Blue." Adagio said in a flirtation way.
The red jewels around their necks gave a strange shine. Then, a sweet, high pitch song that filled the café, causing the people in the area, but Sonic, Shadow, Silver, and Maya chaos. Each 'hedgehog' were confused. 'Why is everyone acting like this?' Soon, the boys realized it was the thing that caused everyone to argue with each other. A green mist filled Sugarcube Corners and entered their jewels. Then a light in the boys' pocket began to glow brilliantly. Maya was shocked when she saw the mysterious light show, plus a bit surprised no one is noticing. Well... everyone is on an arguing rampage because of the siren's song, but is that strange light helping them? Is that the reason she and these boys aren't being controlled by their hypnotic spell? Sonic, Shadow, and Silver were very cautious while these girls are singing. Something about their song made their spine chill (PUN!). It's like this negative energy is trying to take them over, lucky for them, the Emeralds are making them immune.
"Now, join us to compete in the Battle of the Band and help us rule the world," Adagio commanded once they're song was done. She offered her hand to them, but then Shadow and Sonic ignored the gesture and kneel down to help the girl up. "Sorry to break it to you, but I don't take orders from anyone but myself. My answer is no."
The three sirens looked astonished how Shadow resisted their spell. 'Unless,' the orange haired girl thought. "I agree with Shadow." Said Sonic and swung his arm around his older friend, making the red eyes pissed. "I don't appreciate when someone pick on one another. And when you girls pick on someone like her isn't even your own size."
Once the girl was up, Silver patted her head and smiled at her. She scratched her temple because of the shake still on her head.
The siren looked at them, wide eyes on how they can resist their strong magic. Silver, Shadow, and Silver left with the girl, but Adagio and Aria smirked except Sonata. "Girls. Do you know what this means?!" She asked, unable to contain her excitement.
"Three cute, new boys!" Sonata shouted with a smile. Aria just face palmed.
Adagio sighed, "In a way, yes. But those four might have enough power to increase our magic to the fullest. They might be even stronger than Equestrian Magic." She turned to the girls, devising a plan. "Once they became our slaves, we will be adored not just in Equestria and this world, but the whole universe and dimensions!"
Maya is still pretty awestruck how the four of them were able to resist a siren's song. How is it possible? They do look familiar. yet she never saw them in My Little Ponies, and she never recognize anyone with hairdo like them in it.
"Um," The three looked at her with curious visages. "I… uh…" She doesn't know what to say. If she tells them about the siren's power, they are sure to get curious. Whatever she'll say might ruin the turn of events. 'I got it.' "Um..." She let herself blush a bit so they won't expect anything, then bowed. "Thank you for the assistance. I am in dept to you guys."
The boy with the blue hair patted her head with a comforting smile. The one with the silver hair smiled as well, but the one with the black hair blushed and then gave a 'tsk'. Maya wonder what's wrong with the tan teen, but shrugged it off as if without anyone knowing. "No problem. In honesty, I really dislike bullies more ways then one. My name is Sonic."
"Mine is Silver," the golden eyes introduced.
And the one with the red streaks muttered, "It's Shadow."
She just looked at them with eyes full of shock. 'Sonic, Shadow and Silver? The three hedgehogs that saved the world more than five times?' Why in all places are they here? Are they here because of Maya's appearance? What is the meaning of this? If she's here, then they're here for, probably, the same reason she's here. And maybe they can help her figure out what she is suppose to do here.
Bellamy decided to just introduce themselves before she explains the situation at hand. "My name is Maya Bellamy. It's nice to meet you guys." she bowed. "I can't believe that we resisted their song."
The three just looked at each other in shock. Resist their song? "What do you mean? Is there a reason why everyone is acting like the way in there?"
She nodded. It's probably fate that chose them not to save this world, but also another world as well. Something is telling this, shrugged it off. Yet this burning feeling is telling her to help them no matter what happens, "You see... I'm new here and when I met a new friend, she warned me that when these three other new girls sing, everyone goes in utter chaos. It was suppose to be the most friendliest city here, and everyone in school get along really well, but then when these girls sing one of their songs, everyone is now against each other in a battle which bands go against one another. Her and her friends weren't affected by their songs, so that means you guys need to compete as well."
The three looked at the other and realize what they need to do here. Sonic smirked, getting excited about this new adventure they're in. "So if we enter the Battle of the Bands in that school, then maybe we can find out what's happening. Lucky us, I can play the guitar."
"That means I should do the bass." Shadow hummed to himself. The two thought about the moment that Rouge heard him play the bass before once or twice. Lucky her (and them), the second time she heard him, she recorded Shadow playing the bass. They were dumbfounded on how good the +50 year old was really talented with the instrument. No one really said a thing because they might've killed then if they say anything and Rouge for eavesdropping.
"What about you, Silver?' Sonic asked Silver.
"I guess I can do the drums."
Instead of Shadow thinking more about where he heard a power like that. It was odd... Where did he heard a power like that?
*Flashback*
50 years ago in the past, there was a girl standing in front of a window in an aircraft, admiring a beautiful planet that is Earth. She is a innocent blonde haired girl with delicate, peach skin wearing a baby blue dress with a tad bit darker toned blouse and matching shoes. Though she is a frail girl that has poor condition, it doesn't matter for her pure heart. She is youthful and beautiful. She had the biggest dream of the ark she and other scientists are in. She wants to go down there, where everyone is playing, traveling, and smiling. She wants to be part of that too.
Soon, a black hedgehog came by her side to see the blue Earth. He is a project that is sworn to help this girl get better, and yet nothing has changed. Even so, that never stopped them from being friends. They would always gaze above the sky and talk about what it's like down there, where the people are. That is there number one wish; they wish to go down there and help the people in need. It was a promise the two made together... no matter what...
Girl was so deep in thought of her daydreaming about the planet, she didn't notice the sound she was making. The hedgehog noticed it like that. He looked at her, wondering what the sound is. It's angelic, magical, beautiful. Yeah, he doesn't know what it is, but that doesn't mean he won't listen to it forever. He closed his eyes and listen to this sound carefully. Each and every detail made it harder for him to get out of the trance he's in. He smiled a gentle smile from the beautiful sound. But, to his disappointment, it stopped. His ears, unnoticed to him, drooped down. He looked at her, now having enough time to ask her what it was. "Maria," the black hedgehog started, "What was that you were doing?"
When he asked that, she immediately blushed at the question. "Oh! Sorry about that! I bet you think I was terrible." He shook his head automatically. Seeing that the hedgehog is telling the truth, she let a sigh of embarrassment, still having a tint of pink on her cheek. She smiled, "It's called singing. Grandfather told me that the people on Earth sing for celebration or for fun. I bet most of them are better than me, Shadow."
Shadow shook his head again. "No way. You're voice is like an angel Maria. I have never heard anything so beautiful in my life. In all honesty, I think that the people down there will be jealous of your voice."
"Oh stop it Shadow!" She gave modest, yet quiet shriek while she hit him playfully, "You give way too much credit, you know?" He only shot back with a playful smirk of his own telling her that everything he said is true. She let out another embarrassing sigh, but then smiled at him. "Well... let's hope we don't run into the Sirens when we come down there."
That suddenly got his curiosity. Sirens? "What?" He asked in a confused tone, "Are they dangerous. Don't worry Maria, I'll protect you from anything that throws at us."
She giggled, making Shadow a bit more confused. "No. It was a joke, they're from a myth I read in one of the books Grandfather gave to me. You see... in the story, in a distant land, there were three sirens that are beautiful and powerful. They can enchant people with their beautiful voice. But in order to keep their voices beautiful and strong is to feed off the distrust and hatred of people. But soon, a powerful wizard called... What was his name...? OH! Star Swirled the Bearded. Anyways, Star Swirled the Bearded banish them into a dimension where their magic can never be awaken again. And that's how the story goes. So in short, if they sing their song, they can cause chaos and discord to everyone while feasting upon their negativity. You're right, they are dangerous, but what I'm hoping for is that they don't exists or that Star Swirled didn't put them here in this dimension."
"Maria." Shadow said again. "I know they don't exist and all, but I'm very serious when I a say that I'll protect you from anything that wants to hurt you. I promise..."
*Flashback End*
"That's it!" Shadow shouted out loud. That caught the other three's attention. Maya looked at him with a confused visage. Does he actually know about the Sirens? The one with the red streaks explained to them about the sirens' powers and why it's affecting the people like it is right now. Their song makes everyone go into mayhem and argue with one another so they can feed off their negative feelings. The silver haired girl was sincerely shocked how something like that sort of knowledge is known in the Sonic World.
"Ok then," Silver interrupted. "I know that we weren't affected by their magic, but," he turned to Maya. Her silver hair through the sun made her absolutely beautiful. His golden eyes widen with a slight blush across his face his surprised face, but then hid it so no one would see it, "how is it possible that she wasn't affected by their spell? She... she doesn't have any sort of power, yet there is no way unless... is there anything we should know Maya?"
Everyone looked at the mocha eyed girl. Not even herself knew. She asked herself that along with the question on how she got here. There's this warmth, unknown to her that is rising from her chest. It wasn't any of that lovey-dovey crap, but something like a warm fire... like before except softer. It's like it's telling her to help them as well as keep it a secret. This sensation is telling her not to say anything about the warmth, but what should she say to them...? She soon remembered what happen in the café. "The light show!" she thought. "It was the heat in me, then I won't tell them, and I have an excuse for the situation. If they are the Sonic characters, then that means that they may have the Chaos Emeralds!" She looked at them and gave out a little sigh. Maya pointed at Sonic's pocket and said, "I don't know it's true or not, but I think I was immune to them because I of that strange light coming from your pockets. Is that the reason why we weren't affected?"
The three boys looked bewildered now. They soon grabbed an emerald out of their pockets, and remembered they have four instead of three. The extra one might have protected her. She gave her own confused look. "Um... Are those emeralds? If they are, then I never seen anything like those before... I thought they were green."
"Uh... ah... um..." the blue haired male stuttered. "I need to talk to my brothers." He said quickly. Even without his super speed, he ran really fast for some distance so he can talk to his so-called-brothers. "What should we say to her?"
"I don't idiot, now since you ran away like you do with Amy, she is bound to know something is up!" the human Shadow groaned while face palming at the fact what he did. "And there's no point in hiding it from her now. There's sirens at the school, we and her friends weren't affected by their spell, and she saw the Chaos Emeralds in action."
Silver agreed, "I guess Shadow's right. I think the best option is to ask her about her friends... but she is new here. So she probably won't know how unless she introduce them to us. And I think she should keep the one of the emeralds so nothing can affect her."
The two teenagers looked at the white hair boy with disbelief. Is he serious? But that might be the safest choice for her. And the less negative energy they feed, the slower the Sirens' true potential will be awaken. It would be the best for her, and to make sure those girls power don't awaken. They sighed. They nodded at the fact.
The three walked back to the girl, ready for anything. Sonic started, "Sorry about the dilemma. We needed to tell you something about us... and about these emeralds." After that, the used-to-be hedgehogs explained about where they came from, what they were and everything about the Chaos Emeralds. They even explained if they collect all seven Chaos Emeralds, they can transform into something call a Super Form, which doesn't turn them golden, but it gives them unbelievable powers of Chaos. She wasn't as shock as they expected, but there are Sirens in a school that cause huge discord between people, so there isn't anything she should be shocked about now.
She just let out a sigh to recap about the situation at hand. "Ok, let me get this straight. You three are actually hedgehogs that came from another dimension, and the planet that you reside in is called Mobius? And there is something called the Chaos Emeralds, and collect all seven, it can create a miracle and transform you three into Super Forms." She soon pointed at the blue haired teen first and continued, "Sonic, the Fastest thing alive." Maya pointed at the black haired teen with the red streaks, "Shadow, the Ultimate Lifeform," then lastly, the silver-white haired teen, "and Silver, the Protector of the Future?" (I don't know what Silver's title is. Help!)
Ok! That is enough for now. Sorry if this is a cliffhanger-ish end, but I want to wrap this up soon, and I need to work on my other stories as well. I hope you R&R and I'll be back with another chapter. I really hope it's soon. BYE!
