Pinkie: Hello everybody, every-pony, and everyone in between. Welcome to another exciting chapter of Sonic the stallion.

Discord: It's going to be a good chapter, so let's get started with this.


Recap:

Discord: Last chapter, our good friend Braeburn decided to finally make a move on the buffalo of his eye.

Pinkie: But wasn't he being controlled by the emeralds power?

Discord: Hey, if a little chaos is what it takes for him to make a move then so be it. Anyway, when Sonic noticed the emerald in his hoof, the fun killer tried to interrupt there moment, but luckily Braeburn convinced him to leave them be.

Pinkie: Didn't he knock him out?

Discord: Again, besides the point, but then Applejack and our lovely co-host, Pinkie Pie…

Pinkie: Hello.

Discord: …Decided To follow Sonic's example and get between them as well, which didn't end so well, especially for the honest farmer

Pinkie:…

Discord: Things seemed grim, until the fearless Pinkie Pie, with bravery and intelligence, ultimately stopped the emeralds influence, and freed Little Strongheart and Braeburn from it's control.

Pinkie: …Sonic stopped them; all I did was hurt them…

Discord: Tomato, tamato; the day was saved and the emerald was retrieved. Cheers all around.


Pinkie: …

Discord: Oh come now Pinkie, don't be upset. Remember, Writer did agree to make that up to you. In fact, I think he's done with another 'apology' now.

Pinkie: He is!? Really!? Yipee! She runs off

Discord: Oh your back. So how was it?

Horrifying!

Discord: Really? All you did was feed her a little.

A Little! Why Did I Agree To This!?

Discord: Well you do want to make it up to her, don't you?

Yes, but baking as much as she can eat. I'm going to have to buy a farm at this rate.

Discord: Well while you buy the barn, let's make the Disclaimer

Chapter 28- Bathed in the Darkness (pt.2)

Manehatten (Manehatten skyline): Noon

"This is no problem," Twilight said as she and Tails hovered over Manehattan "I've dealt with Rarity's greed before, I'm sure we can deal with this."

"Twilight," Tails responded, "last time you 'dealt with her greed,' by any chance, did she have a giant colossus and access to a limitless supply of power?"

"Uh…no," Twilight answered

"Then It's Not The Same!" Tails screamed just before a giant bunch of concrete came swinging at him, forcing him to move out of the way.

Back on top of the Equine-State Building, just as Tails said, Rarity was on the shoulder of a colossal horse-shaped monster; made out of parts from the now wrecked top of the building, with its Stallions head as its… well, head. Rarity just stood on the beasts shoulder, wide-grinning, and gazing into the emeralds light. "Amazing," she said, looking at her work, "such power," she looked back to the emerald, "in such a brilliant gem," the emerald's light started shined hard, "with this, I could do anything, anything that I could imagine." Rarity took another look at her colossus, "and with that being the case, why is it that you still look so dreadful?" Her horn shined with the same purple glow as the emerald, rapping the colossus in the same light, until its body of randomly assorted stone, glass, and wood, turned into one of stable crystal and gold. "That's more like it," Rarity gave another craved smile, "great power is nothing without great beauty to match."

"Ah jez," Tails shielded his face from the intense light reflecting off the now crystal colossus.

"Just like Rarity," Twilight said, having placed a pair of sunglasses over her eyes, "focusing on looks more than anything." Rarity turned from pleased to annoyed as she looked toward Twilight and Tails. She fired a massive beam their way in shear spite.

"AH!" both Tails and Twilight shouted as they dodged out of the way.

"I'm guessing that's not like her," Tails stated.

"Oh no," Twilight noticed the beam heading straight for a group of ponies, street level (after she took the sunglasses off that is). The beam moved way too fast for the ponies to react in time, but luckily, Twilight was able to place a large shield over the group before it could do any damage. They ran for their lives the very second it went down. (Courage doesn't seem to be in large supply in Equestria)

"'Phew,'" Twilight let out a long sigh of relief when she saw the city ponies get out safely, "Rarity!" she yelled at the possessed Unicorn, "snap out of it. Some innocent ponies are going to get hurt at this rate. You have to stop this!"

"Innocent?" Rarity responded, "don't be daft," her horn shined again, "no ponies are innocent," the purple light began shining around the shoulders of the colossus, "any of them would kill to have power like this, they would just horde it for themselves, but I won't allow them. Do you understand! I won't!" a pair of pegasus wings sprouted out of the large horses shoulders and spread out wide through the skyline.

"What the...?" Twilight was in shock.

"Wow," Tails was almost impressed, almost, "I'll admit it, equestrian 'magic' is kind of impressive."

"Ha, ha, HA!" Rarity let out a demented laugh before she forced the Stallion into the sky, high above the clouds.

"Rarity," the whole event was starting to get to Twilight, again.

"Are you just going to float there," Tails noticed that Twilight was hesitating to go after her.

"…Hmm, no," Twilight didn't waste another second, she bulleted through the clouds, and toward Rarity.

"Hmm, I guess not," Tails followed after her.


It didn't take long for the two to find the massive colossus flying high above the clouds.

(D: it's a giant pegasus made of gold and crystal, it's kind of hard to miss.)

(Point taken, now quiet!)

Anyway…, Rarity was not pleased to see that the two had followed her so far.

"I knew it; any-pony would do anything to have this power for themselves, including you two."

"Rarity, we're not trying to take the power for ourselves," Twilight tried pleading with her friend.

"The emerald is clouding your mind," Tails tried reasoning, "you have to let it go."

"Never! It's mine! Do you understand!?" Mine!" Rarity shouted at the top of her lungs as she decided to plunge the emerald into the neck the colossus, "and I shall punish any-pony, or foxes, that try to take it from me!" The power of the emerald began welling up in the colossus's body and concentrated into the crystal eyes of the Stallion's golden head. The focused chaotic energy fired out of the eyes in a beam four times the size of Rarity's and ten times the power.


"Yikes," Twilight and Tails yelled as they dodged out of the path of the beam, as well as all of the ones that came after. "Well, that didn't work," Tails pointed out the obvious.

"So I noticed, Ah!" Twilight responded, still dodging.

"Relax, I've dealt with these kinds of enemies before, this shouldn't be too hard to figure out, Whoa!" Tails explained as he did the same.

"Ah…, so do you, uhg… have a plan then?"

"Well, yeah… but you're not going to like it."

"We're about to be crushed by a giant pony, I'm open to almost anything right now." (It was actually a horse, not a pony)

(D: Hey, how come you can do it and I can't?)

(I'm the author, I get that privilege.)

"Alright, well, when fighting one of these bigger enemies, attacking wildly wont do anything but hurt 'use.' To beat it, we need to find a weak point and focus on that."

Alright, that makes sense…, but where's the weak, ah…!" a beam interrupted, "where's the weak…" another beam interrupted, "where's the weak poi…" another beam, "Where do we hit!"

"Ha, ha," Tails enjoyed that (maybe a little too much), "well, the weak points are commonly the areas that supply power to the body, in this case…"

Twilight immediately got what Tails was getting at, she took another look at the colossus, while still avoiding beams of course (why do these things always have such bad aim), and noticed Rarity's hoof was still on the surface of the emerald, letting her guide the colossus manually.

"No," Twilight exclaimed, "Tails, you're not suggesting what I think, are you?"

"If we were to take rarity down, her connection to the emerald would break, the thing would just turn back into smashed building parts."

"No Way!" Twilight screamed at the fox, "We are not attacking one of my friends, possessed or not."

"I didn't think you would go for that plan."

"Why would I!?"

"Alright, calm down, I'll think of something else."


While Tails was in mid-thought, the looking-glass, still in his saddle bag, started activating its communicator, "who could it be this time?" Tails answered the communicator, "Luna, this is really not a good time; I'm not in any better condition from the last time I told you that."

"Wrong caller Tails," Sonic said from the other side of the looking-glass.

"Sonic?" Tails was a bit confused; he didn't remember programming the looking-glasses to connect with each other. "What are you calling for? (How are you calling?)"

"Well that was a little rude; I might just hang up," Sonic faked grief.

"Well I'm sorry, but we're in a bit of a situation here!"

"I know, that's why I thought I would lend you a hand, or a hoof in this case."

"What are you talking about?"

"Look up," Tails looked up, at Sonic's wish. Twilight, noticing him, and did the same.


Rarity noticed that the two started looking away from her, "how dare you ignore me in the middle of a battle! How rude of you! What are you…?"

"Yahoo!" Sonic's voice came from high up in the sky, catching Rarity's attention. "What's up!?" he yelled (bad joke alert), "You guy's miss me!"

"Like a bad head-ache," Rarity responded as she pointed the stallion toward Sonic and started firing his lazar Sonic's way.

"Now that's a warm welcome," the speedy stallion just kept diving toward the colossus, ignoring the inaccurate lazars.

"Arg!" Rarity was so tired of missing. The giant stallion's wings turned Sonic's way and began blasting a massive gust of wind his way, hoping to blow him off course."

"Trying to blow me away huh? Nice try." Sonic curled into a ball and started spinning like buzz saw, slicing through the wind with almost no resistance."

"What!? Impossible!" Rarity started getting scared as Sonic got closer and closer to her, "Stay back!" the colossus tried knocking Sonic out of the air, but he just uncurled, ran along the out stretched leg, and bulleted toward Rarity. "How can he…?" Sonic smashed into the unicorn, clamped on, and dragged her, and himself, off of the colossus's back.

"Wow," Twilight was in awe at the scene, Tails, not so much.

"Come on, what are you waiting?" Tails guided Twilight as he raced toward the two.

"Oh," Twilight snapped out of it and followed close behind.


Rarity and Sonic were still falling through the air, the colossus following close behind them, and Tails and Twilight behind that.

"What do you think you are doing?" Rarity complained, "un-hoof me this instant you ruffian."

"I said it once, I'll say it again," Sonic answered, "that's not going to happen." Sonic cutie-mark started glowing again.

"Well at least watch…where…you're…" Rarity started losing consciousness as purple energy started flying out of her body and into Sonic. She went once as it stopped.


The emerald in the colossus lost its glow as the energy was absorbed, dislodged from its neck, breaking the connection to the chaos force, and turned it back into a bunch of smashed building parts. "I'll get them," Tails stated, aiming toward the falling ponies, "You get the emerald," he flew off.

"Wait, what about the building," Twilight answered.

"I'll leave that to you," Tails yelled back, already near Sonic and Rarity.

Twilight looked toward the debris, "umg…," she grunted and flew inside.


"Sonic!" Tails yelled, reaching Sonic and Rarity.

"Tails, good to see ya," Sonic answered.

"Grab on," Tails held out his paw.

"That's going to be kind of difficult," Sonic looked at his hooves.

"Just reach." Sonic grabbed Tails paw, although it was a little difficult to get a grip. He made sure to hold on tightly to the unconscious Rarity as Tails flew them down to safety.


"Uhg," Tails moaned as they reached street level where he could finally let go of the two, "huh, huh…"

"Nice work Tails," Sonic praised his friend.

"Sonic…" Tails tried catching his breath, "do you know… how heavy… you've gotten since transforming?"

"I…don't…want to… hear it," Twilight said as she flew down over a large bubble filled with smashed building parts, the emerald safely in her hooves.

"Twilight, nice work," Tails commented.

"Shut it!" Twilight dropped the parts safely under the building they came from, "you think they were heavy," she landed before Tails, "try carrying 48.52 tons of concrete and wood."

"Well at least no one was hurt," Sonic interrupted, "that's the important part, right?"

"Speaking of which, Sonic, how exactly did you get here?" Tails wondered, Twilight was just forgotten.

"Like this," Sonic grabbed the looking-glass from the saddle bag, they just noticed he was wearing, and opened his communicator, "alright princess," he spoke into it, "I'm done here."

"Good, I'll bring you back," the princess said, but not Luna.

"Wait a second," Twilight said in excitement.

"Ah…" Twilight shoved Sonic down and snatched the looking-glass.

"Princess Celestia, is that you?" the Tails was shocked to hear Twilight say that, but that was Celestia's voice.

"It's nice to hear from you Twilight Sparkle, but the reunion will have to wait," Celestia said in a blank tone, "you must return to Canterlot quickly, we need your help." The communicator cut off and a large white light started coming from the looking-glass, consuming the group as they teleported out of Manehattan, apparently letting the city worry about the smashed building and fallen debris.


Equestrian outskirts (changeling mountain; newly dubbed): Noon

Quetzal was still on the peak of the tallest mountain in the area, looking like she was waiting for something. A large buzzing sound came from her side as one of her changelings flew up to her.

Quetzal: OH, you're back, do you have any news for me.

The changeling whispered everything it knew into her ear. Apparently Quetzal had sent drones to spy on the progress of the ponies.

Quetzal: Is that so; she gave a wicked smile; so she caught it did she, excellent; she started flying into the air; I guess it's time I make my entrance.

A small group of Changelings caught onto their new mothers will and decided to group around her, ready to follow.

Quetzal: Ah, such devoted children (that should come in handy), come then, we're headed to Canterlot. She started through the skies, her children following close behind her.

To Be Continued


Next Chapter: What happened to Spike?


Discord: Well that was an interesting chapter.

I guess. I didn't really think Rarity would be the type to make giant golems.

Discord: It was a crystal golem.

Again, point taken.

Discord: Writer, where's Pinkie Pie?

Over there; I point to a corner.

Pinkie: Oooohhh…

Discord: Pinkie, are you okay?

Pinkie: No mas… no mas…, Mmm! She pukes into a bucket; don't ask where she got it.

Discord: What happened to you? Writer what did you do?

Nothing, I just baked another batch of sweets like I promised. I just decided to use a special recipe.

Discord: Special...; Stink eye.

Do you remember that one recipe Pinkie made with Applejack during apple bucking season?

Discord:…oh Writer.

(Don't blame me, if I had kept going, that farm would have had an egg famine.) Anyway, do you want to end this story now?

Discord: Well since Pinkie is a little busy.

Pinkie: 'Blugh'…

Discord: Well we all hope that you enjoyed this chapter of Sonic the Stallion.

Favorite and Follow the story if you want to keep up to date, and leave a comment below if you have anything to say.

Discord: We'll see you in the next chapter; Pinkie would you do the honors?

Pinkie: Until…, umm, 'Blugh'

(That pour pony) Until then…
