Good news! I have found a way to easily upload chapters again. Yay! So unless a problem arises that renders this new option unavailable, there will be more hope for the continuation of the story. Also I have started making promotional art for the story on my DeviantArt account, so check it out.

Twilight's Castle, 11:48am…

It had been a very late night for Twilight Sparkle and because of it, she had slept in and wouldn't wake up. However, Sonic and Cosmic were standing beside her bed, trying to think of a way to wake her. "I'm stumped. Got any ideas?" Cosmic asked, looking at the sleeping pony. Sonic shook his head and pulled down his glove to reveal a compact watch. "I have no idea if the time in this world is identical to ours, but if it is, then lunch is only 11 minutes away." He said before pulling his glove over the watch.

"Is Twilight still asleep?" Spike asked as he walked into the bedroom. Sonic and Cosmic turned to face the baby dragon and they nodded in response. "I'm not sure if it's normal for Twilight to sleep through breakfast AND lunch, but I'm starting to become worried." Cosmic said as he looked out a window depicting some sort of special event. As the three discussed a plan of action, the sound of footsteps echoed lightly, growing louder as if something was getting closer.

"Hey guys. What's going on?" Hyper asked as he stood in the doorway. The three looked at the hedgehog and for some reason, Sonic and Cosmic gained a shocked expression. "What? Is there something on my face?" he asked, trying to figure out the current situation. The two hedgehogs looked around the room for something, while Hyper waited for a response. "It's more like what's not on your face." Cosmic said as he picked up a handheld mirror.

Hyper tilted his head in confusion before accepting the mirror to see what they meant. Upon looking at the reflective glass, the hedgehog placed his left hand up to his face, trying to get a sense of closure. "My eye. It's… it's back to normal." Hyper stated as he was coming to terms with the situation. As he continued to examine his left eye, Spike stood beside the bed wondering what happened while he was asleep.

"Just what happened last night? What did I miss?" the baby dragon asked as he scratched his head. The three hedgehogs thought about their response, with Hyper remembering the most violent and harsh events of the night. "Uh… Best not to ask. You might not wanna know either." He replied in concern for the dragon. Spike groaned in disappointment while Sonic and Cosmic gave a sigh of relief. "Now what are we gonna do with Twilight? According to the conversation last night, we should be on our way to Canterlot by now." Hyper continued.

Suddenly, Pinkie Pie appeared out of nowhere, causing the hedgehogs and Spike to jump in surprise while waking up Twilight in the process. "Hi everypony! What's going on? Oh, what happened to that eyepatch I gave you?" the hyperactive pony asked as she zipped around the room. Cosmic was trying to catch his breath from the sudden appearance, while Sonic watched the pink pony quickly darting around in shock and Hyper had tried to mine some suitable information for all the questions.

"PINKIE! How many times have I told you about bursting into my room!?" Twilight shouted, surprising everyone, except Spike who had gotten the hic-cups and left to 'cure' himself. The earth pony sat before the princess with a small grin and she remained silent for a bit, but not before her tail started twitching. "Oh no! Twitchy tail! TWITCHY TAIL!" Pinkie shouted in panic. Twilight began to panic, however Sonic, Cosmic and Hyper just stood still, unsure of what 'Twitchy tail' meant.

"What the heck is going on?!" Cosmic asked as the two ponies continued to panic. Suddenly, a crystal chandelier fell on top of the hedgehogs and broke into several smaller shards. Twilight and Pinkie Pie just sat and stared at the event that just happened, with the three hedgehogs under a lot of crystal shards. "Okay. WHAT the hell just happened?!" Hyper asked as he climbed out of the rumble, with Sonic and Cosmic following.

"You don't know what that meant?" Twilight asked as she calmed herself. The hedgehogs shook their heads in reply as each of them brushed the smaller shards off of them. "Does this have something to do with foreseeing an event that isn't accurately specified and happens mere seconds after the prediction?" Hyper asked. This surprised the alicorn, hell even Pinkie Pie was amazed at the precise guess. "How did you know about that?" Twilight asked as she felt a strange case of deja-vu fall upon her. "Meh, just a hunch." Hyper answered before grabbing a Hyper Emerald and juggling it with one hand.

(Obvious Equestria Girls reference is obvious and funny)

Just as she began to come to terms with the deja-vu, Twilight noticed the gem in Hyper's possession and felt the urge to ask. "Hyper? What is that you're holding?" she asked. The hedgehog noticed the question and he ceased the juggling to show the gem. "This is a Hyper Emerald. Like a Chaos Emerald, it contains immense amounts of energy. Good news is only I can use their power. Bad news is if I brought this up last night, my semi corrupted state would have done the same to these gems." Hyper explained, causing Twilight to become really intrigued while Pinkie Pie just played with her reflection in the gem.

"Also… like the Chaos Emeralds, they should not be taken lightly!" he finished as he moved the Emerald away from Pinkie Pie, who frowned upon her 'fun' being interrupted. "Now, if we are done wasting time, we should've left an hour ago." Once the words reached the alicorn, she instantly bolted around the room, looking for a clock. "What time is it?! Does anypony have the time?!" Twilight asked as she began to panic. To avoid any more time being wasted, Hyper simply walked up to the lavender pony, picked her up and carried her over his shoulder as he walked out of the room, with Pinkie Pie, Sonic and Cosmic following.

"You do know I can walk, right?" Twilight asked as she hung over Hyper's right shoulder, trying to reason with him. "Yeah, I know. It's just that you've slept through breakfast and about to miss lunch, so I decided to think for you." The hedgehog calmly explained as he walked down the main hall. Suddenly, a loud crashing sound caught the group's attention, making Hyper drop Twilight from the shock. "What in Equestria was that?!" the alicorn asked as she got to her hooves.

Outside Twilight's Castle, 11:58am…

"Give it up ya red menace!" Applejack yelled as she charged towards a red figure. The creature got behind a nearby tree and punched it, causing the trunk to fall down and almost crush the earth pony. "Tell us where we are now!" the red figure asked aggressively. Suddenly, a rainbow coloured blur shot right into the creature and knocked it back several feet. "C'mon AJ. Is this guy really giving you some trouble?" Rainbow Dash asked as she flew to her friend's side.

Beside the steps to the castle, two other creatures appeared to be hiding from something. "Always count on Knuckles to act before thinking." The orange, two tailed fox said in a sarcastic manner. Next to the fox was a light green hedgehog that wore a futuristic singer outfit with a headset and a leek (the food) in her right hand. "If he's going to rush into things like this, we'll never find the others." The hedgehog stated as she thought about a certain green hedgehog.

"Come on Tails! Back me up so we can finish these pests!" Knuckles called out as charged towards the ponies. Suddenly, the castle doors opened and Knuckles, Applejack and Rainbow Dash froze. "Okay. Just what the hell is going on here?!" Hyper asked loudly before cloaking his fist in fire. However, he immediately put out the flame when he noticed a red echidna about to punch Applejack. "Knuckles?! The hell man! You don't just run around, picking fights with random people!" he scolded as Knuckles lowered his fist.

"Hyper?! Wait… if you're here, then where's…" The echidna asked before feeling a light breeze. Knuckles looked to the left of him and saw a familiar blue hedgehog leaning on his shoulder. "Hey there Knux. How's it going?" Sonic asked casually with a grin on his face. The echidna became annoyed at how chill his friend/rival was and he moved away, causing the hedgehog to loose his support. "Don't 'hey there' me!" he snapped at Sonic. "I need to find the Master Emerald!"

Hyper face palmed at the signature argument, while the ponies attempted to put the pieces together. "Knuckles, I know that you're the 'Guardian of the Master Emerald' and all, but putting that gem's safety above your own will just work against you." Hyper said as he made his way down the stairs. While he reasoned with the red echidna, Tails and Galactic stayed behind the stairs and observed the nature of the ponies. However, they were startled when a pink pony began to play around with the fox's tails.

"Hey! What was that for?!" Tails asked in a frustrated manner. The loud question got the attention of the ponies, Knuckles, Sonic and Hyper. "Tails?! Where've you been buddy?" Sonic shouted before rushing to his friend. Rainbow Dash watched as the two conversed, but was stuck at the split second that the hedgehog went from the red echidna to his fox friend. "Excuse me Sonic. Where's Cosmic?" Galactic asked.

"Just a sec. Hyper! Can ya fetch Cosmic for us?" Sonic called out. Hyper nodded in response before zipping into the castle. Rainbow Dash was now in a state of disbelief as not only could Sonic move fast, but this black hedgehog could too. "Come on Cosmic. We have an appointment with… GET YOUR BUTT OUT THERE!" Hyper shouted. From what the group outside could hear, Cosmic was being reluctant to go outside and the loud crashing noises seemed to confirm it.

"I don't care if you're afraid to face them, I'll make you go out there!" he continued. Suddenly, a green colored blur burst through the doors and fell face first into the ground, sliding at least 2 feet before stopping. "Sorry about that. He was afraid that a certain sibling would start hitting him over the head with a leek." Hyper apologized as he calmly walked out of the castle, with a lavender pony following. "Do things always get this crazy with you guys?" Twilight asked. The hedgehog shrugged in reply before approaching Cosmic.

"Now are you gonna live up to your title or will you give up?" Hyper asked as he held his hand out to the green hedgehog. Cosmic slowly got up and brushed the dirt from his clothes, before shocking Hyper with electricity and bringing him to the ground. "Hyper! Are you okay?" Twilight asked in concern for her friend. The hedgehog slowly got to his feet while groaning in pain. "Ouch… I deserved that." He replied as he regained himself.

Suddenly, Cosmic was tackled to the ground by Galactic and embraced in a very tight hug. "Cosmic! Where were you? I was worried about you!" she shouted while preventing her brother from escaping the hug. As the two caught up with each other, Fluttershy and Rarity arrived on the scene, with the latter wearing one of those hats you'd see at the Royal Melbourne Cup (Sorry to those that haven't seen the horse races in Australia.)

"Hey Rarity. What's with the hat?" Hyper asked upon seeing the fashonista. The rest of the group stopped what they were doing and saw the piece of headwear , with the Mobians being curious. "Why darling. You expect me to arrive in Canterlot all natural?" the unicorn asked, feeling offended. The hedgehog gained a nervous expression as he thought of a response, but could only choose the honest option. "Yes?" he answered questionably.

"Perhaps I might give you a lesson in fashon…" Rarity replied. Hyper looked over his clothes in a concerned manner before grabbing and placing a pair of black, futuristic shades with yellow lenses over his eyes. "Uh, I don't mean to interrupt, but we need to get moving. The next Train to Canterlot is leaving in less than 3 minutes." Applejack said, getting the attention of everyone nearby. Upon hearing the statement, Twilight began to panic and she darted around the group.

"Oh no, oh no, oh no! How will we get to Canterlot if we miss the train?!" she thought aloud, as she began sweating. The rest of the mane six just sighed at the outburst, while the Mobians sorted themselves out, with the exception of Hyper. "Uh, Twilight? Why would you need to take the train when you got those?" Hyper asked as he pointed at the pony's wings. Twilight realised the fact that she was an alicorn now and calmed down. "Right. Silly me. But how will you six get there? If you miss the train, we would have gone to all this trouble for nothing." She replied in concern.

Once she asked the question, Hyper stretched his legs, Sonic stretched his arms and the rest of the Mobians did their own form of preparation. "Just 'cause we aren't ponies doesn't mean we can't run." Sonic stated before running on the spot. The ponies watched the blue hedgehog's actions and were surprised at how he could move his legs so quickly without moving from that spot. Sonic's legs sped up and within seconds, it seemed that they disappeared, leaving a red blur shaped like an eight.

Then without warning, he launched forward, breaking the sound barrier and leaving a large dust cloud behind him. "Whoah nelly. Correct me if I'm wrong, but did he just cause a 'Sonic Boom'?" Applejack asked as she covered her eyesight with her hat. "You got it. In our world, Sonic's the 'Fastest Thing Alive'. Very few have matched his speed, but in the end, none have run faster or longer than him." Hyper explained as he calmly stood against the massive force of wind.

Rainbow Dash was now completely shocked. This hedgehog can run fast, break the sound barrier in mere seconds and do so from a complete stand still. It seemed that her mind had died on her as she could not come to terms with a creature being faster than her. About 1 minute later, Sonic had come back with a grin on his face. "Oh. My. Gosh. IhaveneverseenanotherponyasfastasRainbowDashwellanotheraninmalbut…" Pinkie Pie shouted before being silenced by Knuckles. "Can we please shut this one up? It's getting on my nerves." The echidna asked.

Suddenly, a fist cloaked in fire shot right into his face and sent him to the ground. "Seriously Knuckles. Learn some common courtesy. Also, no. You cannot 'shut up' Pinkie Pie. Hyper scolded the echidna as he excused him. "Now if we are done sorting ourselves out, LET'S GET MOVING!"

(Sonic 06 reference is funny, but I needed something to end the chapter with.)

And thus ends another chapter. Knuckles, Tails and Galactic have been reunited with Sonic, Hyper and Cosmic and the group begin their rush to the train station. But what about Rainbow Dash? How will she deal with the possibility of being the second fastest in Equestria? Find out next time. Sort of Off Topic: I am going to aim for a large scale project with this fan fic, with the result being multiple Story Arcs. And from this day forth I shall call this the 'Royal Chaos Arc'. Just a heads up, I am planning on making 3 Arcs, each with their own progressive plot.

Feel free to leave a review.

It gets lonely…
