I stared at the monstrous new machine Eggman had now built. It had a lion's head and body and a rattlesnake for a tail. "Behold my newest creation," he boasted with his usual laugh. "The Egg Manticore!"

"How did you even escape that limbo anyway!?" I asked with much anger. Sparkles gave me a small zap to keep me calm. I petted her in thanks.

A second cockpit, just below Eggman's, opened and instead of a second Eggman, there was a more deformed creature. "It was thanks to you pulling your sword out of that pedestal Hedgehog."

"DISCORD!?" Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy said in surprise.

"Who's he?" Tails asked.

"He's known as the master of chaos," Rainbow Dash said seeing her get her game face on.

"So even that big drip had somepony else holding his leash," I mused.

"I thought you had completely changed Discord!" Fluttershy yelled. "I trusted you!"

"Flutters calm down," Tails said trying to get the butter colored Pegasus to calm down.

"Deep down the evil never left me. I got Eggman to work with me and we built this amazing machine in a mere matter of moments."

"It still won't matter," I said motioning Sparkles to take cover knowing that Eggman probably installed some sort of barrier that would be resistant to all her attacks. "I will still beat you."

"I'll stand by the king until he falls," Caliburn said as he started glowing. My gold gauntlet once again appeared on my right hand. "Ready to transform again sire?"

"I thought you'd never ask Caliburn." I lifted him high and shouted, "Excalibur transformation now!" My shoes were the first to be covered in gold plated armor. After the foot armor locked into place, my shin guards activated next. Followed by my calves, pelvic area, chest and arms being covered by my gold armor. My helmet appeared above my head and I pulled it down on top of my head closing the visor in the process. "Mobian Warrior King Sonic Excalibur Mode!" Rainbow dash stared in awe as I stood there in my armor.

"Ohmygoshohmygoshohygosh!" she said in excitement and flapping her wings. "That is so awesome!"

"Thanks Dashie but right now I have a robotic Manticore to destroy." I started chasing the machine towards Cloudsdale Wonderbolt Academy. "Don't think for a second that this machine is gonna stop me!" Soon we stopped in a very secluded part of Cloudsdale. "Let's go you two, it is game time!" Eggman pressed a button inside and the head lunged at me. I sidestepped it then blasted him with Sonic Wind. The Egg Manticore reared up and I saw a flashing light. I threw Excalibur and used Sonic Wave to throw him like a boomerang and strike the flashing light. It hit and the Manticore roared. Landing back on its front paws, the mouth of the machine started firing rockets. I jumped on one after the other and hit the head with another Sonic Wind. The Manticore reared up and I quickly flew and slashed the glowing light again. Once again landing on its paws, the machine tried the same tactic but failed miserably.

"Let's switch things up a bit," Discord said. Eggman nodded and they switched control. Discord tried he same tactic as Eggman but also activated the Rattlesnake's turret systems. Now not only was I jumping from rocket to rocket. But also trying to avoid the lasers coming from the Egg Manticore's Rattlesnake tail. I once again blasted the head with Sonic Wind and went flying into slash the light. This time, it was a bit difficult. The laser readjusted to protect the underside of the machine. I was still able to slash the light however. "How about you take this you blue pincushion!" Discord snapped his fingers and the Egg Manticore tried swiping at me next. It was too easy to sidestep the big metal paws. I got underneath and slashed it once more. The machine started to short out and it toppled over after I got out from underneath.

"Looks like I win again," I said as the energy of my transformation depleted and my armor shrank back into my gauntlet. Caliburn was once again in his original form as I put him in his scabbard. I soon heard a trumpet call as a white Alicorn in a carriage appeared on the scene.

"So you must be Sonic the Hedgehog," she said as she approached. I saw the crown on her head and knew that she must be royalty. I bowed to her in respect.

"Yes, that would be me Your Majesty." I saw felt her use her magic to stand me up.

"I'm Princess Celestia, ruler of Equestria," she continued. "It would seem you are now in almost full fulfillment of the prophecy of Cloudsdale."

"How so?"

"Only a true ruler could nearly sacrifice his life for his friends."

"I pretty much did this o a daily basis back home." I looked to see Discord getting up and putting Eggman in chains.

"Good work undercover Discord." I looked at Princess Celestia a bit confused.

"All in a day's work Your Majesty," he said then turned to me. "And I must apologize for any misunderstanding King Sonic. I was working with you the whole time even though it didn't seem like it."

"No biggie Discord," I said. "I'll just explain to the girls what was going on and hopefully that'll clear it up."

"I suggest going to Twilight's and fast before they do something rashly," Princess Celestia said. With what energy I had, I used Chaos Control and got there just in time. I saw the girls starting to put on the Elements of Harmony as I got there.

"Those won't be necessary. It seems Discord was working undercover to apprehend Eggman before he made Equestria look like certain parts of Mobius that we're still trying to return to normal."

"WHAT!?" Everypony said at once.

"Heh, whaddya know. Somepony similar to Omega," Shadow said in a mused tone. "Sneaking in and convincing Eggman that he wants to return to his elite squadron of Egg Fighters then blasting everything to bits."

"It seems so," Twilight said putting her crown back on her desk. "So no harm done right?"

"Pretty much," I said as my stomach growled. Sparkles jumped off of Rainbow Dash's back and climbed back on her place on my shoulder.

"C'mon Sonic," Rainbow Dash said as we walked out and waved good-bye to the others. "Time to get you a hero's feast of Chili Dogs." With that, Sparkles once again held on tight as we flew back home.
