Chapter 8: Returned Memories

It's been a week since the Heartless attacked Canterlot High, but so far everything is back to normal and they've haven't been seen since then.

Crimson and Sonic are doing okay, but they haven't been sleeping well and they began to have nightmares after the incident was over.

Crimson's and Sonic's House: Late at night

As Crimson and Sonic were sleeping each of then began struggling around in their own beds while sweating, then they started screaming after waking up. Lucky had heard this for some time and went to check on them, she began to worry about her sons while they themselves don't know what's going on.

However Lucky managed to calm her sons before going back to bed, the boys then got out of their beds and thought it would best to right in a new entry before going back to sleep.

Journal Entry: Day 14

It's been a week.

We've fought against the Heartless and the Mysterious Figure wants us to remember something.

It's really unclear on what it is, but we have to try and maybe he'll go away afterwards.

Not much has happened after we saved the Crusaders, but we will be prepared and protect everyone no matter what.

Crimson's and Sonic's House: Next Morning

As morning rose up Crimson and Sonic didn't feel very well as they both felt empty inside while feeling no emotion.

After eating breakfast the boys grabbed their bookbags and started walking to school while their mother asked them to have a good day while she herself was getting ready for work, the boys told her they'll try as they began going to school.

Canterlot High

Today was a very special day at Canterlot High, because it was Remembrance Day. This day helps every student remember their times as freshman and sophomores while bringing along photos, special mementos, or anything from the past.

Crimson and Sonic really didn't feel well today and didn't seem happy about the holiday, in fact they couldn't feel anything and everyone who looked at them were a little hesitant or when wide eyed for some reason. During classes their teachers did the same and asked the boys if they were okay, but both of them didn't respond and just nodded their heads slowly.

During lunch while the boys were at the music room with the Mane Seven, each of them started talking about all the stuff they did when they were younger and started showing pictures of themselves as preteens.

Crimson and Sonic were quiet as they were sitting on the floor thinking about what they needed to remember, but then their focus got interrupted by Pinkie Pie as she asked them about their times as freshman and sophomores.

Then things began to get strange as the boys looked at her and she gasped, the others turned to her wondering what happened and they gasped after seeing Crimson's and Sonic's eyes; there was nothing there and they were empty.

Raising their eyebrows, Crimson looked at everyone before speaking,"What's wrong? Why are you guys looking at us strange?" He said in a small weak tone while both and Sonic got up.

Rarity went up to them with a concerned look,"Darlings are you both okay? You look really pale." She said as the rest of the Mane Seven began to have concerned faces.

Sonic simply said to them,"We're okay, we haven't sleeping well lately and haven't been feeling well." He said in a weak tone.

Pinkie then began thinking of a way to cheer them up and then got an idea,"Hey how was your freshman and sophomore years? I bet a little memory will help you both smile." She said in a cheerful tone while helping them feel better.

Crimson and Sonic looked at each other while thinking it over and Crimson said to Pinkie,"Uh, we don't really have any memories of our past." He said.

Getting wide eyed Pinkie began asking them multiple questions about it,"But it's Remembrance Day, there has to be something you both can remember. What about your early days at your other school, your other friends, other teachers, any kind of memory that's special to you." She said as she continued to pressure them to remember something from their past.

The boys began backing up a little from her as they began to get a little uncomfortable with small frightened looks, then Applejack told Pinkie to stop but she just kept on going until they were against the wall,"What about any old places, subjects, or any favorite freshman fair activities you both did years ago-" She said as she continued rambling.

Then a few seconds later Crimson and Sonic gripped their heads as they got onto their knees and began screaming in agony, their screaming were very loud and the Mane Seven were terrified while getting worried on what was going on. Then as the boys continued screaming Celestia and Luna were in the halls and heard it while going in the music room to see what was going on.

As they walked in Crimson and Sonic fell on the floor with Celestia coming to their aid while looking at the Mane Seven with a concerned looked,"What's going on here? Pinkie, what did you do?" She said while turning the boys over on their backs to see if they were okay.

Pinkie was hesitant a little before speaking up,"Nothing, I...I just asked a few questions about if Crimson and Sonic remembered anything from their old school." She said in a slightly frightened tone.

Luna asked her what kind of questions before Applejack stepped forward to speak,"She was asking about their old friends, teachers, and anything else that the boys could remember." She said.

Luna then sighed a little before she spoke,"Girls, Crimson and Sonic can't tell you anything...because they can't remember anything."She said in a calm but firm tone.

Surprised and shocked after hearing that the Mane Seven didn't know as Celestia and Luna picked up Crimson and Sonic to take them to the infirmary. After leaving each of the Mane Seven felt bad and hadn't realized what happened, Pinkie felt the worst as she just wanted to help them smile again, but instead she caused them pain.

Canterlot High: Infirmary

As Celestia and Luna placed Crimson and Sonic in the infirmary the nurse promised them that she'll see if they're okay and take care of them so they can wake up. Leaving the area the nurse looked at the boys and gave them both a small smile as she'll help them with whatever happened and allow them to rest.

Outside the infirmary

Celestia and Luna were then met by the Mane Seven and asked them if the boys will be okay. Celestia smiled a little before speaking,"Hopefully, but I can't believe this has happened again." She said in a worried tone. Confused after hearing that Sunset looked at Celestia as she began speaking,"Again? This happened before?" She said before turning her head to face the infirmary door.

Both Celestia and Luna nodded before Luna began explaining the situation,"Yes. This has happened before all of you met the boys and we met them for the first time during a transfer meeting. It all started a year ago as the boys were getting transferred into Canterlot High." She said as she began the story.

(Flashback)

Celestia and Luna were looking over some documents when they suddenly heard a knock on their door, it was a man wearing a black dress suit with two boys beside him.

The man walked up to Celestia and was happy to meet her as he was turning over his boys to Canterlot High and explained to them that they should try to be apart of the Wondercolt Family. Looking at the boys Luna went up to them as she was introducing herself,"Hello, I'm Luna your new vice principle. What are your names?" She said politely.

One boy spoke while looking down a little,"Crimson...Crimson Nova." He said a little sad like.

Then the other boy spoke,"Sonic...Sonic Blitz." He said in the same tone as the other did.

A little happy hearing their names Luna asked Celestia if she wanted to see them, Celestia smiled before walking up to the boys to speak with them,"Hi, I'm Celestia, your new principle. I hope you both become a wonderful apart of the family." She said with joy.

Crimson and Sonic looked at their new principles and gave them small smiles, then Luna began asking them numerous questions about their old experiences at their old school and the boys started screaming while gripping their heads. The man came to their aid and forget to tell them that Crimson and Sonic had lost their memories, hearing this made Celestia and Luna feel concerned as they hadn't realized that and promised to never talk about it again.

Present Day

After Luna was finished explaining how this situation happened again the Mane Seven were very surprised and felt very bad for the boy, then Twilight began to have a scary thought on the boys falling into comas again, but both principles told the Mane Seven that Crimson and Sonic are going to be fine and that they need their rest.

Relived after hearing that the Mane Seven went back to class while Celestia and Luna went back to their office and believe that the boys will wake up soon.

Station of Awakening

As Crimson and Sonic began resting they slowly began falling through an ocean like place, they continued to fall calmly and slowly until they landed onto their station. Opening their eyes and looking around at where they are, Sonic asked Crimson about the place they were at and that it looked familiar. Crimson did agree with Sonic as it did seem familiar to him, then out of nowhere stained glass stairs began appearing at the edge of their station and a voice began speaking to them,"Continue on the path. reclaim what you lost and everything will seem much more clear to you." The voice said.

Hearing it and seeing how it will help them remember something important, both Crimson and Sonic began running through the stairs without looking back. They were then taken to another version of their station, but this one had orange and blue coloring while retaining their forms. A little confused by this for a brief moment Crimson and Sonic were then approached by six shadow Heartless.

Drawing out their keyblades both boys were ready to fight, then two of the Heartless leaped into the air and was prepared to strike, but Crimson and Sonic blocked their attacks before counterattacking. Then they fought against the other four and defeated them with ease, however things began to get a little dangerous as more shadow Heartless appeared and combined to form a larger Heartless that Crimson and Sonic fought against long ago. the Heartless began to punch at the boys and thanks to quick reactions they were able to dodge the attack, then more stained glass stairs appeared and seeing it as their only way to escape from it both Crimson and Sonic began running towards it with full speed.

The massive Heartless did try to follow them but it couldn't because after smashing through the end of the stained glass stairs it fell into the dark abyss below. Crimson and Sonic exhaled hard after they ran and ended up at another version of their station; this one was yellow and pink. Upon walking through it the boys were met with soldier Heartless this time, they slashed through each one and managed to defeat them all.

Then another section of stairs appeared and the boys continued on without saying a word as they believed that they were getting closer towards the truth. The next station was light blue and bright like a diamond, it looked pretty but then Crimson and Sonic were faced against five devil Heartless and their presence ruined it's visual concepts. This battle with the devils were different as they had the power to become invisible and instantly attack the boys without them noticing, it was very intense for them and even blocking their attacks couldn't protect themselves. So Sonic thought up a plan, he and Crimson closed their eyes as they stood back to back while focusing on what was coming to them. Then in a fraction of a second the boys popped open their eyes and attacked each devil that was coming to them, they then defeated with double slashes and using Strike Raid like before.

Afterwards another pair of stairs appeared and this one was red and violet. Upon walking through it no Heartless appeared but the boys were careless and were prepared for anything that was going to attack them. However instead of a Heartless that appeared it was the Mysterious Figure and he began to clap while walking towards Crimson and Sonic. He then began speaking to them,"Impressive. You two are by far the most unique keyblade wielders I have ever met. It seems you both have passed my test and have grown quite strong, now only one more test to pass and you both shall claim what you've lost." He said.

"We still don't know what your talking about or why you keep sending Heartless at us, but if we pass your last test will you go away?" Crimson said as he looked at the figure.

The figure began to speak again,"Maybe, but only if you both show effort, and if you do reclaim your lost selves you'll never be who you are right now." The figure said.

"What do you mean? How can me and Crimson be anyone else, or even change how we act?" Sonic said to the figure.

The figure didn't speak for a moment, but then he summoned out twin dark blades from his hands while getting into a stance,"You'll find out soon enough. But for now, let's see how strong you both have gotten." He said while charging at Crimson and Sonic.

The boys managed to block his attack using their keyblades, but the impact was powerful enough to knock them back a bit. Crimson and then began running at the figure and was prepared to attack him, but the figure dodged every slash he made against him, then he appeared behind Crimson and used a combo move that knocked him out. Sonic witnessed this and began charging at the figure for what he did to his brother, however the figure intercepted him and released an endless amount of attacks at Sonic.

Both boys were injured and felt intense pain, but the figure wasn't done with them yet and told them to get up and continue fighting. Crimson and Sonic managed to get up, but they could barely stand and hold their keyblades. However they weren't going to give up and they both charged at the figure, but he quickly overpowered them and knocked them out again.

The boys were down and they felt like they couldn't get up anymore, the figure noticed this and threatened them by saying,"If you both are this weak and unable to continue, then maybe I should go after your friends. Maybe Sunset and Twilight will have a better chance at fighting against me, or Celestia and Luna." He said with a devious voice.

Hearing this surprised Crimson and Sonic, then they two started to feel anger inside of them and would never allow him to harm their mentors or their closest friends, so the boys got up from where they were and glared at the figure to show him that they aren't playing around anymore.

The figure knew saying those words would provoke Crimson and Sonic to stand up again, he then went against Crimson and attempted to slash him, but Crimson dodged the attack while keeping up the glare. Sonic went up beside his brother and the two double teamed to finish off the figure, they both attacked in unison and it really overwhelmed the figure as he really couldn't handle taking them both on while they were like this.

At the climax both Crimson and Sonic used their special attacks to defeat him, only this time they combined them into one ultimate attack known as the Arcanum Burst where the boys would instantly warp around their enemy while attacking him with great speed.

The mysterious figure was completely overwhelmed by this and was defeated as his blades disappeared and got onto his knees. Crimson and Sonic exhaled heavily after their combined attack and was a little satisfied with what they did, but they dismissed their keyblades and walked up towards the figure while asking him a very good question,"Who are you?" They said at the same time.

The figure chuckled a little before answering,"In due time you'll know, but for now here is your reward." He said as he began to stand up and hand the boys a sphere of light.

Unsure about touching it and they clearly didn't trust him, Crimson and Sonic touched the sphere and was engulfed in a warm light. The light felt good around them and they both began to smile as they also started to remember everything from their past.

Canterlot High: Infirmary

It's been two hours since Crimson and Sonic went unconscious, but now they've finally woken up and they both shouted a name as they rose up.

"Sunset!" Crimson said.

"Twilight" Sonic said.

The nurse was startled when is happened and little surprised, but at the same time she was happy to see the boys awake and called the principles to tell them the news.

Outside the Infirmary

Crimson and Sonic walked out of the infirmary and were greeted by their friends and their principles. The Mane Seven instantly gave them a group hug, then they broke it and both Celestia and Luna rubbed their heads showing how happy they were to see them.

The boys felt happy too, the nurse then came out and explained when Crimson and Sonic woke up and what they said as they woke up. Sunset and Twilight felt warm hearted when the boys said their names and they both gave them something while they were sleeping.

It was two good luck charms, one was in the shape of a sun and the other was a star, the girls explained that they made them during class and thought that since they have good luck charms why can't the boys have the same.

The sun was for Crimson and the star was for Sonic, they both liked their gifts and smiled at everyone. Then Pinkie went up to them while frowning and apologized for what she did to them, the boys gave her a hug and said that it was okay; plus they also kinda thank her.

Everyone was really confused after hearing that, then Applejack went up to them and said,"Guys, you both were screaming and fell unconscious again. That isn't something to be glad about and we were very worried about the both of ya." She said as the other agreed.

"You two really scared us and what happened really wasn't a good thing." Fluttershy said

Crimson and Sonic did agree on that, but then Sonic began explaining why they thanked Pinkie,"Yeah we know they you all were worried, but if Pinkie hadn't done that then me and Crimson wouldn't have regained most of our lost memories." He said while looking at Crimson.

Getting wide eyed, Celestia asked them what they remembered and the boys told everyone that they remembered the school they came from. Asking them what it was both Crimson and Sonic told them at the same time,"Crystal Prep Academy." They both said.

"CRYSTAL PREP ACADEMY!" The Mane Seven yelled in shock. Then afterwards Twilight began thinking about a very good question,"Wait, how can you both come from Crystal Prep? I've been there and I've never seen either of you there before?" She asked Crimson and Sonic.

The boys thought about it too and believed that they were put in special classes because of a gift their old principle said they had. Still a little confused on that the Mane Seven decided to shrug it off before asking the boys if they want to hang out afterschool.

Both of them nodded before they all began walking through the hall while Celestia and Luna went back to their office. Luna then looked at her sister and said,"Sister, do you think it's strange for Crimson and Sonic to remember Crystal Prep after falling unconscious?" She asked.

"It is and it may be a good thing, but who know what happened while the boys were asleep. I think it might be time the boys meet some old friends of their from Crystal Prep." Celestia said as she looked at her office telephone and began calling someone.

Crystal Prep Academy: Office

Inside the Crystal Prep office the phone began ringing and a female staff member picked it up.

"Hello? Hi, it's been a while. Yes I do remember Crimson and Sonic, they were really good boys and very sweet. Oh? They remembered Crystal Prep? And you want us to come and see them if we like? Sure, it really has been a long time and we really can't wait to see them again. Tomorrow? Okay, bye." Said the staff member as she was talking to Celestia on the phone.
