Last time on Friendship is the Best Policy.
Twilight was sent from her peaceful library in the glorious West Emerald City to study in the South End of the city, she checked on preparations for the Sun's Festival and met some people that would later on change her life forever…
"Alright Spike, I'm going to bed, I'm tired of all these crazy people." Just then the lights flashed on.
"SURPRISE!"
"SURPRISE!"
"WOAH, what are all of you people doing here!?" Twilight pretty much yelled and asked at the same time.
"Well I threw a party for you since you just came to this end of the city and I never saw you before and I knew I didn't see you before and that's why I went-gasp-and ran off!" The girl from earlier with pink hair said without taking a single breath, Twilight just stared.
Twilight took a look at all the attendants of the party, which included all the people she met today.
Everyone waved at her with a smile on each of their faces and a grin from Sonic. She took a step closer to all of them and gave a small awkward smile and an odd wave to accompany it. Spike, however was more outgoing and social.
"Hey everybody!" Spike exclaimed to all his new friends, yeah his new friends, he wasn't even sure about Twilight and her friendship hating attitude, preferring to study than to socialize.
After receiving a greeting from everybody, Spike seeming satisfied and decided to have some fun with everybody, but Twilight being the friendship hater she is, left to go to her bedroom upstairs and watch some TV.
Sometimes, when Twilight needed to relieve stress she would just lie on her bed and find a drama to watch, drama always relieved her of stress, anger, and annoyance.
Well, that would have been the case if this TV didn't have only 10 channels! Twilight gained a red vein on her forehead and flashed the TV off and tried hard to fall asleep with all the party noise going on downstairs.
DOWNSTAIRS
The party was still going on and Sonic was getting seriously annoyed. Random girls were flirting with the blue haired teen left and right and it was getting really old, really fast. He attempted to sit down and relax or at least get away from the fan girls all around and bumped into another one!
Deciding that this place was way too crowded for his taste, he jumped out the window and settled on a nice tree branch and closed his eyes for just a minute before…
"Hey, what are you doing up there, the party's inside!" Someone yelled from under him and he slipped one open to look. Below him was a rainbow haired girl with purple eyes that looked up at him in confusion shown in her purple orbs.
"I came out here for a little peace and quiet, if that's not too much to ask for." Sonic calmly replied to her as he closed his eyes again only to open to the sound of wings flapping in front of him.
"But why, it's a party, why come out here by yourself?" The girl asked as she hovered in front of him with her arms folded and her eyebrow raised.
"Nice flying, anyway I came here because inside is way too noisy." Sonic replied hoping that she would accept his answer and just leave, he guessed his wish wasn't heard.
"You're going to get bored out here by yourself." She said as she stared at him and Sonic sighed. "I'm Rainbow Dash by the way, what's your name?"
"Sonic's the name, speed's my game!" Sonic told her as he zipped to house and back in half of a second, giving a cocky smirk.
Rainbow smirked at this and flexed her wings. "Really it just so happens, I'm the fastest flyer in all of the city."
"Are you kidding me?" This girl had to be kidding thinking that she was the fastest, his arrogance was painfully obvious. "The title of fastest is already taken, by yours truly." Sonic told her in a cocky manner with a smirk along with it.
"Is that a challenge?" Rainbow said to the blue blur, giving an arrogant smirk and moving some her out of her eyes.
"Yes it is." Sonic proudly exclaimed and blazed to the house's window and sat there, feeling quite comfortable on his window seat. "Hey, what are you doing out there the party's inside." Sonic mocked and gave a wink to Rainbow who flew into the room and blew him a raspberry, he only chuckled and the party continued on.
Hours Later…
Twilight was still trying to catch some shut-eye but was still unsuccessful and Spike walked into the room with… a lamp on his head, she didn't question it.
"Twilight are ya sure you wanna stay up here by yourself, c'mon the party's for you anyway." Spike walked over to his friend and poked her side, which resulted in her getting a small red vein on her forehead yet again and she turned to him with her eyebrow twitching.
"Spike! I am trying to sleep here!" Twilight yelled at him, feeling very annoyed at the interruption. Spike raised his hand's in defense and lifted a brow.
"Fine, fine!" Spike walked to the door and turned back to her. "Don't fall asleep though everybody has to stay awake to watch the sun rise." Spike said and walked out the door, while Twilight smacked her forehead for forgetting.
An Hour Later…
Spike walked into the room yet again with the lamp still on his head.
"C'mon Twilight, it's time to watch the sun rise!" Spike announced with a toothy grin on his face.
At the main building…
Everyone was excited to see their amazing Princess of the sun come from behind the curtains that her majesty.
All of the attendants were eagerly waited for their Princess and as minutes people were beginning to become restless and when the hostess finally walked up to the microphone.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, presenting the Princess of the Sun, Celestia!" She said and everybody cheered in excitement.
Rarity pulled back the curtain, but was shocked to see not a soul behind it.
"She's gone!" Rarity announced and everybody gasped in shock and terror.
Twilight looked into the night and saw stars surrounded the moon and flashing and then the image of a person was gone and an eerie laughter echoed through the room and her eyes widened.
"Oh no…" She whispered as a dark blue mist flew into the room.
Forming from the mist was a woman, her dark blue hair seeming to be made purely of magic, piercing bright blue eyes, jet black wings coming from her back, a light blue war helmet along with a matching suit of armor of the same color even having matching boots, her hands glowing dark violet in a threatening manner.
"Nightmare Moon!" Twilight yelled at the woman standing on the Princess' pedestal said threatening woman was very surprised to hear name known.
"Ah, it is nice to know that my name is known in this era, and if I may ask what is your name child." Nightmare Moon said in a very chilling and eerie voice.
"My name is Twilight Sparkle and I know you're Nightmare Moon, the evil person who was sealed into the moon a thousand years ago!" Twilight yelled at Nightmare Moon.
"Hmm, you are a very knowledgeable girl to know about my past." Nightmare Moon said in the same chilling voice.
Rainbow Dash, having enough of the conversation yelled at Nightmare. "What have you done with the Princess!" Rainbow attempted to rush her but Sonic grabbed the hood of her blue jacket, stopping her advance and when she turned to him, he just shook his head.
"Hmph, if you want to see your precious Princess again, I'd like to see you try and challenge me!" And with that said she turned back to her mist form and flew out the window, Rainbow having broken from Sonic's grip flew after her but realized that she was too late and gave up.
Twilight rushed back to her library before anybody could notice her leave. She made it back in a hurry and quickly scanned through her many books and found exactly what she was looking for… the book on the Elements of Harmony.
"I need to learn more about Nightmare Moon and a way to defeat her." Twilight said to herself.
"Yeah, how did you know about Nightmare Moon anyway?" Twilight heard a voice say behind her and turned to see Rainbow Dash standing behind her giving her a glare, at that moment a blue blur jumped in through the window.
"Rainbow, stop it, I think she knew because she's well… surrounded by books." Sonic told her, giving a shrug.
Applejack walked into the room. "Ah agree, Rainbow she does seem like a bookworm." Applejack told her and Dash frowned.
"But what if she's a spy." Rainbow told the others and they just shook their heads.
"I think she just likes books, teehee." Pinkie stated to the group in her usual goofy way.
"I agree." Rarity simply said in a polite manner.
"Me too." Fluttershy said in a quiet whisper.
Twilight was still flipping through pages at a speed that impressed even Sonic, she reached the desired page and turned to the others in the room.
"I think I've found the way to defeat Nightmare Moon, the path to defeating Nightmare Moon are the Elements of Harmony, jewels used for special powers each of them having a different category: Honesty, Kindness, Laughter, Generosity, Loyalty, and Courage."
"I don't suppose you know where they are?" Sonic questioned and Twilights eyes widened and she let out a gasp.
"They're in t-the Leaf Forest!" Twilight yelled and everyone gasped.
10 minutes later…
Everyone was at the entrance of the Leaf Forest most reluctant to go in, except one.
"They say people go in there and never come back out." Twilight said, which scared everybody even more.
"R-Really." Rainbow Dash said with a gulp and she started shaking and fear showed in her eyes.
"Is it really worth it?" Rarity said and also gulped in fear.
Sonic however grinned. "You can't be serious…"
Fluttershy turned to him with her eyes beginning to water. "W-What do you mean?"
"I've been in this place lots of times, it's the perfect place to get a good run around here, I mean with all the pits and swinging vines, it's great for a good thrill to get the heart pumpin'." Sonic told them and they all stared at him as if he had grown a second head.
"Get the heart pumping, perfect place to get a good run, are you crazy this place is a death trap!" Rainbow yelled at him with her eyebrow twitching.
"I have to agree with Rainbow on this one, Sonic you could get yourself killed in there!" Twilight said to her companion.
"Only a coward would think this place is dangerous." As soon as the words left his mouth Rainbow's features hardened.
"I'M NO COWARD!" Rainbow screamed at him, she spread her wings and took flight into the dangerous forest.
"Rainbow, wait!" Twilight yelled after her to stop but she kept on going ahead, the group turned and glared at Sonic, who sheepishly grinned and shrugged his shoulders.
"Somebody should go after her before she hurts herself." Applejack said and Sonic rushed in after her.
With Rainbow
"That bastard, calling me a coward just who does he think he is!" Rainbow thought to herself in anger as she flew in the forest, going over bottomless pits, very deep water, and spikes everywhere!
Rainbow gulped in fear at the sight.
At this time a blue blur was speeding through the forest in pursuit of a certain rainbow head. He was speeding through the forest, jumping from platform to platform and swinging from vine to vine like a boss.
"Just where is that girl?" Sonic wondered aloud and kept on going.
Back to Rainbow
"Just where am I?" Rainbow asked herself in confusion and since she apparently wasn't looking where she was looking and crashed face first into a wall and fell out of the sky knocked out and slowly falling to the water below but before that could happen a blue blur whizzed by and caught her, the blur landed on solid ground, still holding Rainbow and said blur was revealed to be Sonic.
"Yo, sleeping beauty, you can wake up now." Sonic told her quietly and to which she slowly opened her eyes and quickly jumped out of his arms.
"What was that all about?" Rainbow yelled at him in embarrassment.
"A thank you for saving your life would be nice." Sonic simply told her with a roll of his eyes.
"Oh well, uh thanks and sorry." Rainbow said with a sorry look on her face.
"Don't worry about it too much." Sonic told her with a smirk and a wink.
Rainbow gave him a smile.
Just then the others caught up to them.
"Are you guys okay?" Twilight asked them as to which Sonic nodded.
"Yeah we're fine." After the encounter they all set off deeper into the forest.
Twilight was in the front, leading the group onward, but when she reached the edge of a cliff a purple mist came and caused the edge to break and shatter sending Twilight falling.
She screamed as she grabbed onto the edge and held on for dear life, her hand slipped and she almost fell.
"HELP ME!" Twilight screamed as Applejack grabbed her hand keeping her from falling down to her death.
"Don't worry Twilight, I'll help you back up!" Applejack yelled.
Applejack was frantically looking around for a way to help Twilight back up and then saw Rainbow giving her a thumbs up and she nodded.
"Okay Twilight, I'm going to let you go but I promise you'll be alright." Applejack told her in honesty.
"What do you mean!" Twilight yelled at her as if she were crazy.
"Trust me!" Twilight pondered on it and made her decision, she let go.
Twilight was now taking a dive and she saw her life flashing before her eyes but before she could hit the hard and unforgiving ground Rainbow swooped in and caught her and set her down gently.
"You okay Twilight?" Rainbow asked, concerned.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Twilight said as they reached the ground and Rainbow set her down.
"I'm glad you're alright but we need to keep going." Sonic said as they continued on their journey.
"You know there could be a million deadly creatures in this place." Twilight said to the others who shuddered well except for Sonic obviously and then the dark blue mist from before summoned a huge lion like creature and they all froze.
They all got in to stance and began to fight the beast, The beast swinging at Sonic only for him to punch it in the face.
"Stop…"
Rainbow tried to attack but she was just swatted away.
"Stop…"
Even Twilight and Rarity tried to attack with their magic but it was ineffective against the monster.
"STOP!" Fluttershy yelled at the top of her lungs at her friends to stop and she came up to the beast and stroked its mane and held up its paw and to which she pulled out a splinter and the beast licked her.
"Fluttershy that was amazing, how did you know about the splinter!" Twilight exclaimed to Fluttershy who just smiled.
"I didn't." She said simply and they all continued.
"We need to hurry before Nightmare Moon regains her full power!" Twilight yelled at her team.
"Oh, who are you to talk I'm only still here because you slowpokes have to keep up!" As soon he said that the dark blue mist returned and the trees that surrounded the group gained… faces?
"When did these trees get faces, no wait let me rephrase that, when did these trees get ugly faces?" Rainbow asked as to which Sonic just shrugged at her.
"I dunno, but it's kinda weird." Sonic as he looked over at Fluttershy who was quivering in fear. Pinkie took notice of this and smiled.
"Don't worry, Shy, when I was little and I was afraid of things under my bed and in the darkness, my mommy said the key to it all to go away was to…laugh!" At that Pinkie began laughing, her laugh was infectious and soon everyone was laughing too and one by one the trees returned to normal and not…ugly.
The team arrived at a fast current river and the mist was there yet again to make it move fast, Twilight frowned.
"We'll never get pass this, the current is too swift!" She exclaimed and Sonic examined the river closely and spotted a notch of orange in the river.
"Hey what's that thing?!" Sonic asked the others who also spotted it.
The orange spot popped out to reveal an orange sea serpent with a mustache well a half of a mustache anyway.
"Oh boohoo, I've lost my fabulous mustache!" The serpent exclaimed to the group and Sonic just let the sweat drop from back of his head.
"What are we supposed to do about it?" Sonic asked and Rarity whacked him upside the head.
"We are supposed to help this poor beast and help him regain his fabulous facial hair." Rarity told him and pulled out a pair of scissors and Sonic raised his eyebrow.
"Where were you keeping those?" Sonic asked her and again she whacked him on the head.
"Never question a lady on where she keeps her things!" Rarity yelled at him and 'hmph'ed.
"Yes ma'am." Sonic said and gave her a thumbs up, she smiled.
Rarity used the scissors to cut off half her tail and gave it to the serpent.
"Whoa, Rarity your tail!" Twilight exclaimed and her jaw dropped at Rarity's short tail.
"It's fine, I was thinking on cutting it anyway." Rarity said.
"Why thank you, my mustache is back to its former glory, please let me repay the favor!" The serpent said as he bent his body into a bridge to let the heroes pass over.
The heroes were now at a bridge that over an endless pit, well it would've if the bridge wasn't cut down because you guessed it, the mist.
"Hey Rainbow would you mind going over there and tying the rope back to pole?" Twilight asked and Rainbow shook her head.
"No problem."
Rainbow used her wings and flew over to the other side and picked up the rope but before she could tie it back three black haired teens appeared in front of her and if you can guess where they came from you can win a thousand dollars and if you can't you are an idiot.
"Whoa, the wonderbolts, sweet!" Rainbow said but the leader of them stepped forward.
"No, Rainbow we aren't the Wonderbolts, we're better, we're the Shadowbolts and we want you on our team!" The leader exclaimed to her and Rainbow thought about it, she looked to where her friends were and back to the Shadowbolts and then she made her decision.
"Tempting offer… but I'll have to pass." Rainbow said.
"Hah, I knew you couldn't deny us- wait what?" The leader and the Shadowbolts grit their teeth and dispersed into a dark blue mist and Rainbow tied the rope back and the others crossed.
"Nice job, Rainbow!" Twilight complimented and she smiled.
"It was nothing." Rainbow said and they continued onto an abandoned stone building where the Elements of Harmony are supposed to reside.
"Let's head in there." Sonic told them and they entered the building only to see six stones.
"These must be the Elements of Harmony!" Twilight exclaimed to the others and Sonic just raised a brow.
"They're just a bunch of stones." Sonic said and when Twilight was going to respond the laughter before entered the room along with the mist… again.
"Right you are, young one!" The voice of Nightmare Moon echoed through the room and Sonic and the others got into stance.
"And if you think that you can restore them then you are mistaken!" She yelled charged her magic to teleport her and Twilight to the other building but Sonic was quick enough to get to the flash and warp along with them.
They appeared in the other building and Sonic glared at Nightmare Moon.
"Trying to fight like a coward, I see." Sonic accused her and Nightmare growled at him.
"How dare you!" Nightmare yelled at him in pure rage.
Just then five shadows could be seen coming up the stairs. "I think they came this way." Voices said.
"It's over Nightmare Moon, the rest my friends are coming and we'll use the Elements to defeat you!" She yelled and Nightmare just grinned.
"If you believe those petty little rocks can defeat me, then you are mistaken" Nightmare as she lifted up her foot and slammed it down resulting in a shockwave that destroyed the Elements, shattering them. Twilight gasped.
"Just because you destroyed a bunch of rocks doesn't mean you're invincible!" Sonic yelled and started dragging his foot against the ground in the same manner of a bull ready to charge its challenger.
"You're only a child!"
"You're only an old lady!"
Sonic was then in his racing stance and smirked while Nightmare only got into stance and charged her magic.
"READY…GO!" Sonic yelled as he shot off at alarming speeds straight after Nightmare and smacked into her sending into the far wall.
"You little Brat!" Nightmare yelled as she pulled herself out of the wall and charged her magic.
"Twilight get those Elements ready while I keep her busy!" Sonic yelled as Twilight nodded.
Nightmare fired a volley of magic spheres at Sonic who agilely dodged them with his speed.
Sonic zipped over to her to punch her but she put up a magic barrier and he bounced off like a basketball but he recovered in mid-air and landed on his feet.
"You see now child, you are simply no chance for me, you just don't have the power to fight like a warrior."
Suddenly Sonic was having somewhat of a flashback.
Flashback
A blue hedgehog was running through grassy fields killing robots left and right and suddenly it was surrounded in a blue aura and blazing through the fields at double the speed than before.
Flashback end
(Music Insert: Fight the Knight, Sonic and the Black Knight)
Sonic slowly got up from his crouch on the ground and looked up at Nightmare, his bangs covering his eyes.
"I don't know what was with that hedgehog, but I know what to do now."
"You want me to fight like a warrior, well then READY…GO!"Sonic was enveloped in a blue aura and started running in place and took off in a beeline for Nightmare who just stood in shock at the blur's speed. He closed the distance between him and Nightmare gave her a solid punch across her face and sending her deep into the wall.
"You see now Nightmare, the Elements weren't the stones they were us. Applejack, when she told me I would be alright represented honesty, Fluttershy when she helped the Manticore represented Kindness, Pinkie Pie, who showed us the true meaning of Laughter, Rarity, who gave her tail to the serpent represented Generosity, Rainbow Dash, who gave up her own desires to help us represented Loyalty, and Sonic who wasn't afraid to go toe to toe with you represented Courage." Twilight said and by this point everyone got a necklace, Applejack with Apples on hers, Rarity with Jewels on hers, Fluttershy with butterflies on hers, Pinkie with Balloons on hers, Rainbow with a lightning bolt on hers, and Sonic with a green emerald on his, Twilight got a tiara with a flash of magic on it.
They all started floating in the air, surrounded by a white light.
"We are the Elements." Twilight said and after the flash Nightmare Moon was no more and instead in her place was a small princess and after that Princess Celestia appeared, her hair flowing freely with the tiara on her head and her Princess armor along with her dress.
"Princess Celestia!" The heroes yelled and the Princess nodded to them and turned her gaze to the young princess.
"It's been a thousand years since I've seen you in this state." Celestia said and at that point the other princess started to cry and jumped into Celestia's arms.
"I've missed you so much big sister!" She yelled.
"Big sister!" Sonic stated in shock.
"Yes, this is Princess Luna, Princess of the moon and my little sister." Celestia said and everyone smiled at the reunion.
Hours Later…
The group was at the actual festival and everyone was celebrating.
"Thanks to you seven for showing unimaginable courage and strength to bring peace back to the city!" Celestia exclaimed and everyone cheered for them.
But Twilight was depressed.
"I'll have to go back to West of the city won't I?" Twilight asked in sadness.
"No, I declare that Twilight Sparkle will stay here in the South End of Emerald City and study friendship!" Celestia declared and everyone cheered.
"Thank you!" Twilight yelled in pure joy.
"Yay!" The rest of the team yelled and jumped along with Twilight.
Note: Yes, Sonic has lived a past life as the one we know and love, Sonic the Hedgehog and yes he will be learning all of Sonic's moves. Also this story will NOT follow the episodes by the way.
Well that's all. See y'all later!
