Chapter 7:chaotic confusion

After the whole battle of the bands debacle, and twilight left to her own world, sonic and shadow were keen on spending their saturday relaxing. Sonic slammed down on the couch and grabbed his switch controller, "Come on shad, before I start the match without you!"

"Alright, i'm coming, and you better not use lucario again, he's the most op guy we have!" shadow said coming into the room with doritos and mountain dew. He set the snacks on coffee table as sonic selected the lucario character. Shadow just looked at him with disappointment, he grabbed the other controller and selected bowser, "alright let's do this!"

The game started to say, "three, two…" before being interrupted by the doorbell.

"God damn it!" shadow said pausing the game and grabbing the the door knob, "what?"

Of course, on the other side of the door was pinkie pie, "heya, shady!"

Shadow slammed the door, but pinkie shot up behind him, "how do you keep doing that?"

"Doing what?" pinkie asked blankley.

"Th-, th-, nevermind," shadow sighed.

Pinkie's attention shifted to the t.v. "ooh, you guys playing smash bros? Can I play?"

"No," shadow said flatly.

"Pwease?" pinkie asked giving him the puppy dog eyes.

"No," shadow said getting angrier.

"Pretty please, with a cherry on top?" pinkie asked again.

"God damn it, I said no!" shadow said as a green blast of energy flew out of his hand and hit the wall blowing straight through. This leaving the three all dumbfounded as iblis and ivo entered the room.

"What's wrong, I heard a loud…" iblis began before seeing the whole blown in the wall, "what happened?!"

"Ugh, we sat down to play smash then the wall just blew, must've been unc's shotty wiring," sonic lied.

"I told you we should have hired a professional, that could have hurt the boys!" iblis scolded ivo.

"I didn't think it would blow! I have done this before you know!" ivo shot back.

"Yes, well you clearly did something wrong!" iblis shout, "I call a carpenter to deal with this, boys you think you could maybe leave the house while we're dealing with this?"

"Yeah, you guys could come over to my house!" pinkie said.

"Absolutley n-" shadow began before sonic stepped on his foot and said, "that sounds wonderful."

"Okay, I'll call you when were sure everything is safe," iblis said going to get her phone.

The three teens left the house, one excited, one neutral and one enraged.

"I am so excited, we can play games, I can introduce you to my sisters, Maud, marble and limestone," pinkie said skipping by them.

"Oh god, please no!" shadow said imagining four, equally crazy pinkie pies.

"Relax, shad, we aren't going to pinkie's," sonic said.

"Oh thank god!" shadow said sighing in relief.

"We're going to sunset's to find out why green, energy blast are flying out of your hands," sonic explained, "out of any of us, sunset has to know something."

"And because you want to see your girlfriend," pinkie teased.

"She's not my girlfriend," sonic said annoyed.

They arrived at sunsets house and sonic knocked on the door. A not fully awake sunset in pajamas opened the door. She yawned and said, "hey guys, what are you doing here so earley?"

"Um, first off, it's noon, second, we have a bit of a situation," sonic said.

"Define, situation," sunset replied.

"Like green, explosive blasts of energy bursting out of shadow's hands," sonic said leaving her dumbfounded.

"Give me a minute," closing the door, then in a few minutes came back wearing a lab coat and goggles, "come in."

The three entered the house and saw she had quite the sweet setup for a teenager. Sunset led the three into the basement which was a fully decked out lab.

"Alright, so then shadow has magic, you came to the right girl, after the girls started ponying up, I turned my basement into a lab to figure out how their magic works, with varying levels of success," sunset explained.

"Well it makes sense, the dazzlings said I have magic, which we saw when I ponied up," sonic said, "only makes sense shadow would have some of his own being my brother."

"Yeah, but why is it surfacing now of all times?" shadow asked confused, to which sunset responded, "maybe it's because of the fact that you were both exposed to a large amount of magic last night, it might've been enough wake any dormant energy within you. We need to test how it works."

Shadow was lead into a room which seemed to be for testing unstable magic. Sunset put a target on the wall, then left the room and observed from behind the safety glass.

"Ok, shadow, i want you to focus on the target and blast it!" sunset said taking out a clip board.

Shadow took a deep breath, brought his hand back, and then jerked it forward, however nothign happened.

"Huh?" shadow said as he attempted it again. He tried again, and again.

"Kame-hame-ha!" he said trying one last time, when it didn't work he growled, "why isn't this working!"

"Okay, so this isn't working, how did it happen the first time?" sunset asked puzzeled.

"Pinkie got em really mad," sonic said as he and sunset got the same idea.

Shadow just looked at his hand in frustration, just then pinkie jumped up behind him, "hey shady!"

"God, damn it," shadow facepalmed.

"Hey shady have you ever had a cherry-chonga?" pinkie asked.

"A wh-" shadow began before getting cut off by pinkie saying, "of course you haven't, i made it up! A cherry-chonga is ground up cherries in a tortilla that's deep fried, great name huh, CHERRY-CHONGA! Or maybe it should be chime-cherry, what sounds better, chime-cherry or cherry-chonga, or maybe we combined the two! Chime-Cherry-Chonga! What sounds the funniest?"

Shadow decided he'd had enough and went for the but found it was locked from the other side.

"I like funny words, like comquatt! I didn't make that one up but it's still funny, i would work in a comquatt orchard just so i could say comquatt all day! Comquatt! Comquatt! Jason!" she went on as shadow covered her mouth for a moment, then he released her and she continued, "and Pickle barrel! Pickle barrel, comquatt, pickle barrel, comquatt! Pickle barrel comes from the land down under!"

"Shut up!" shadow said as a bigger red beam shot the door down. Sonic and sunset looked in surprise.

"Until we know had to control your magic, let's not get shadow mad again," sunset suggested.

"Agreed," sonic said flatly.
