Alright here we go, full drive with this one. Besides the obvious movie I'm basing this final arc on, did anyone catch the subplot I'm doing with Sonic? It shouldn't be too hard or hard at all to figure it out, but kudos if you do know. Anyway today's chapter sees our hero going through some physical and mental struggles... enjoy it.

Episode 55: We don't give up!

Idea: TheAwesomeCoolJay

Created & Directed by: TheAwesomeCoolJay


It's dark, it's been like that for a while for Sonic but that's not what the boy was curious about. The darkness was the least of his worries, Sonic was more curious about his back, why wasn't it in pain? The hero painfully remembered Tirek driving his back into the man's knee, in fact the pain was so tremendous it made Sonic pass out.

"My back should be the worst right now, but I feel fine." He said trying to move, but could not. "And now there's this."

Lights were turned on, blinding the eyes of Sonic for a moment but when he regained his vison the boy saw a shocking revelation. He was chained up, to his legs, his arms and torso, completely restricting Sonic of any kind of movement.

"What's going on?"

It was already weird that he couldn't explain his non-broken back, but things got bad when he couldn't move his body. Things got even worse when a screen came down and revealed the state of Canterlot. The city was in ruins and the people seemed to be enslaved, he expected Tirek but was proven wrong when he saw the villain dropped in front of screen.

"Tirek... he's dead?" Sonic said alarmed to see his foe had fallen.

The body of Tirek was heavily bruised, it looked like he was punched everywhere up to his body and face and blood came out of his mouth and nose. Sonic guessed it was internal bleeding, but by who?

"Be grateful none of you share his fate, now work faster!" A familiar voice shouted.

Sonic recognized that this was his own voice but he never spoke like that before, suddenly the Sonic he heard and jumped in front of the screen. Looking at him now, Sonic realized that wasn't him, he may have the voice and appearance but the eyes of that guy were so different. It was Eggman and before Sonic could say anything else, the Eggman Sonic jumped through the screen and appeared in front of Sonic.

"Morning, did you sleep well?" Eggman mocked as he changed back to his original appearance.

"Y-You didn't?"

"Oh you mean that." The doctor referring to everything Sonic just watched. "No, this all in our shared mind Sonic, the details fabricated by yours truly of course."

"Good their all okay." The hero said breathing a sigh of relief.

"What's more important is that we're alive!" Eggman informing his enemy. "And don't think they're safe Sonic, once we get back in action I'm taking over."

"I'm not letting that happen again."

"You have no choice, your will is strong but my intelligence is even stronger, besides the next time I'm in control I'm repressing you away for good."

Before anymore talk could be said between them a hooded figure appeared between the both of them. This person placed a hand on Eggman and shoved the doctor far away, this person would soon look at Sonic. This mysterious person simply touched Sonic's chains and made them disappear.

"Hey thanks stranger, you think you can help me get of here?" Sonic asked his rescuer.

"Rise up hero!" The person said shining a bright light in Sonic's face.

Not only did this light got brighter, but it also grew in size, it just kept on getting bigger until it eventually consumed Sonic. It was bright for a moment but then the darkness came and the feeling of someone gently tapping the face of Sonic. Sonic opened his eyes and saw the ceiling of a house, or better yet a hut.

"This...this is Zecora's place."


TheAwesomeCoolJay: And she's back.


"You are correct." The girl herself confirming what Sonic said. "It's a good thing we found you, because you were severely wrecked."

"Don't rub it in Z and who's we?"

"Don't be surprised, just know I'll be doing a lot for you." A familiar voice spoke.

Turning his head, Sonic was surprised to see Flash standing there. Flash's recovery took about two weeks, although not fully recovered it seemed to be enough to help Zecora carry Sonic back to her place.

"I have a lot to make up for, but I like to believe this is a good enough start." Flash told Sonic.

"Fantastic, now lets go kick some..." Sonic tries to move, but the pain from his back was too much. "Ow."

You require healing, you must know that, no warrior can win with a broken back." The sage said as she held Sonic back.

"But I can't just sit here and relax, I need to stop Tirek!"

"Relax Sonic, he gave us time." Flash aiding Zecora. "24 hours to be exact, well since your waking up 18 now."

"I've been out for 7 hours, I need to let them all know I'm okay!"

"In time dude, but thanks to your words and Sunset's encouragement, the whole town is ready to fight back."

"R-Really?" Sonic said with a small smile forming on his face. "Well I still can't be on the sidelines, Zecora can't you use magic to fix me up?"

"It can be done with magic but this task I do not dare, if damaged again in battle your back will be beyond supernatural repair."

"There's no way to get me in the fight?"

"There is a way but there is a price to pay." Zecora warning the hero.

"Hey it's part of the job description." The speedy hero joked to show he trusted Zecora.

"Very well, Flash hold him up and take off his shirt, prepare yourself Sonic." She says as she cracks her knuckles. "This will hurt."

Following her instructions, Flash removed Sonic's shirt and held him up by the arms. Sonic couldn't feel his legs, that was a nightmare to him so whatever Zecora was planning to do was worth it.

"I'm guessing magic can't deal with my little science problem?"

"What?" A confused Flash said.

"Magic may have a lot of tricks but magic and science just don't mix."

"Figures, but I'll worry about it later." He said gripping on to Flash. "Zecora go!"

Not wasting anytime, Zecora began the painful procedure of fixing Sonic's back and as she did this the hero screamed in agony of each blow. As much as he wanted her to stop, Sonic toughed it out and let the girl continue.
