The Adventure of Two Dimensions
Chapter 3: New World, New Enemies
A crushed Rainbow flew deeper into the Everfree, depressed at her defeat at the hands of Sonic, unaware that Sonic had begun to chase her to try and cheer her up. She landed on a log, and began to look at the ground, a small tear dripping from her muzzle. Sonic noticed this and stepped out of the foliage surrounding the log, only to have Rainbow turn away and say this, "Oh, so you've come to gloat at my loss, have you? HAVE YOU?!" Rainbow's sudden outburst made Sonic leap back in shock and fear. "Woah, Rainbow, chill. You nearly gave me a heart attack!" Sonic said, trying to hold in his fearful screams. "How can I chill? I thought I truly was the fastest in all of Equestria. Now I realise the truth. I'm not." Rainbow lamented. "Come on, Rainbow. You may not be the fastest thing alive, but you sure are the fastest flyer alive!" Sonic attempted to cheer her up. "Ok, yeah, it's cheesy, but still, it's true!" Rainbow slowly turned around and faced Sonic. "Yeah, I guess that is true. Well, I don't think you'll be growing wings anytime soon, do you?" Rainbow joked, back to her confident self. "No. Anyway, let's head back to Sweet Apple Acres before your friends get worried." Sonic said as the pair began to head to Sweet Apple Acres.
Twilight, Applejack and Fluttershy were taking down all of the bunting from the start line. "Ah called it. Ah knew it would have been close." Applejack said. "Yes, Applejack. You've told us this for 15 minutes." Twilight said. "Um... Twilight is right, Applejack." Fluttershy said quietly. Sonic and Rainbow then came up the path, to be greeted by the trio of ponies. "Ah, hi, Sonic. This is Fluttershy." Twilight said. "Um, I heard that your name was Sonic. I just want to say hi, and please stay out of my shed." Fluttershy said. "Seriously, what's with the shed? Twilight told me about it, now you?" Sonic asked. Rainbow then intervened and said, "You honestly don't want to know. Trust me." Just then, Spike came rushing down the path to Twilight. "Twilight! I just had a walk around Ponyville and I saw Trixie again! I think she's back to take revenge… again." Spike told Twilight. "Oh, sweet Celestia, not again." Twilight muttered under her breath. Just then, Tails came running up the path and saw the group of ponies, Sonic, and a small purple dragon. "So, who is this 'Trixie' you guys are talking about?" Sonic asked. "I'll explain later. Let's go to the square. That's probably where she is." Twilight said as all of the gang (including Tails and Spike) travelled down the path and further into Ponyville.
As the group reached the square, a red magical blast hurtled straight to Twilight, but a well-timed teleportation spell easily dodged it. They all heard a mare cackling. They turned to the sound to find a blue mare with glowing red eyes and a white mane with attire like a wizard's. Twilight said, "Trixie! Why are you here?" Sonic said, "So, that's Trixie?" Trixie replied, "You mean 'The Great and Powerful Trixie'!" Just as she said that, as if on cue, the wind then blew the wizard cloak away from her chest, revealing an amulet with a red gem and wing decorations! "The Alicorn Amulet! I thought Zecora took that after you took it off!" Twilight exclaimed. "It's elementary, Trixie's dear Snarkle. Your zebra friend didn't hide this little trinket too well, so Trixie found it, and now Trixie is here." Trixie explained. "I thought you promised never to do this kind of thing again!" Twilight exclaimed, just as Trixie released a powerful blast of magic straight for the group! Rainbow managed to get Applejack and Spike out of the blast and Sonic grabbed Twilight and ran out of the blast. "Trixie had her back hooves crossed." Trixie said as she began firing rapidly at Sonic and Twilight, paying no heed to Rainbow, Applejack and Spike. Sonic's speed was put to the test as he frantically dodged the blasts with Twilight on his back. Twilight said, "I didn't want to have to do this…" as she began firing magical blasts at Trixie. However, the Alicorn Amulet gave Trixie enough energy to keep firing straight after she used a teleportation spell.
Eventually, Sonic had had enough, so he began to charge straight at Trixie and try to knock her down, however, Trixie kept teleporting away to try to blast Sonic and Twilight away. She kept missing the duo due to Sonic's intense speed, and her magic level began to run low, disabling her teleportation power, allowing Sonic to jump and kick her straight in the face, stunning her. Twilight took the opportunity to attempt to pull a Luke Skywalker and get that one perfect shot on the Alicorn Amulet's power gem. She charged up one bolt and hoped to Celestia she hit her target. Her prayer did not go unanswered, as the bolt connected, and the Amulet's power gem exploded in a myriad of red lightning and the Amulet then imploded on Trixie's neck. Luckily, she was not hurt very badly from the fight. However, she was put unconscious from Sonic's blow and the Amulet's implosion. Ponyville's square was in tatters after Trixie's attack. "It's done. The Amulet is finally gone for good, and the Trixie we know is back." Rainbow said. "Ah just hope Sonic and Twi are okay." Applejack said. "I'm sure they are okay." Spike said. Rainbow then flew to the unconscious Trixie and began to carry her to Fluttershy's house, where Shadow was finally beginning to wake up.
He was a bit disoriented and had about the same reaction as Sonic when he saw Fluttershy, who had fled to her house when Trixie attacked. She quickly explained everything that had happened to the hedgehog, who was hanging by the ceiling like a cat. After this, he quickly rushed out the door to find Sonic. Knuckles also began to stir, but was quickly dragged under again due to the heavy blows Eggman inflicted back on Mobius. As he made his way to the nearest civilisation, he wondered how he and his friends got here. He knew the Chaos Emeralds had something to do with it, but he had lost his memory of entering the Egg Gateway in his unconscious state. He then entered the main part of Ponyville.
Shadow used his jet shoes to speed through the city, with it being more and more destroyed as he approached the square. He reached the square, only to see 4 multi-coloured ponies, a dragon, Sonic and Tails. Twilight noticed Shadow and asked Sonic in a hushed tone, "So, he's one of yours, right?" Sonic replied in the same hushed tone, "Yeah. That's Shadow." Shadow then walked up to Sonic and asked, "How did we get here? Also, where are we?" Sonic then explained what happened thus far to Shadow. It took hours to explain, and night had come. "Well, that's how we got here." Sonic said. Twilight had fallen asleep next to Spike, AJ had run back to Sweet Apple Acres and Tails had begun to try to build a machine to help to get home. Twilight then woke up when she heard silence. "Wow, now I know how the others feel when I give a lecture." Twilight said. She then levitated Spike onto her back. "I think you three need a place to stay. I think that Sonic should stay at the Golden Oak Library and you two should go back to Fluttershy's. Just tell her Twilight sent you." Shadow and Tails then rushed off to Fluttershy's house.
Sonic and Twilight began to walk back to the library. It wasn't very far, and the pair stayed silent throughout the journey. When they reached the library, Twilight spoke. "Who is this 'Dr Eggman' I heard about?" Sonic sighed, and explained. "Dr Eggman is an evil scientist from my home, Mobius. He's appeared time and time again, kidnapping my animal friends and subjecting them to a painful process known as 'Roboticization'. Basically, he transforms them into these robots known as 'Badniks' to try to conquer the world, but I always stop him with my friends. He always tries again and again, but I always stop him. But I have to hand it to the Doctor, he's very persistent. His latest attempt involved me turning into a werewolf, a godly demon known as 'Dark Gaia' and an adventure around the world. But I stopped him and defeated Dark Gaia, with the second side of the Gaia coin, 'Light Gaia' but I called him 'Chip'. The doctor has been going for over 20 years, and two of his first Badniks were my parents and my Uncle Chuck. But our latest adventure wound us up here." Twilight was shocked. "So, he kidnaps innocent creatures and turns them into his slaves?" Twilight asked. "That's it. I'm gonna crash now. Goodnight, Twilight. Hey, that rhymed." Sonic then began snoring. Twilight then levitated upward to her bed and went to sleep.
