Chapter 2-7: What is love?

Rage and Princess Twilight were standing at the portal to Equestria "Are you sure this is a good idea? You won't get in trouble for bringing me to Equestria will you Twi?" Rage asks her

"Of course not." She says "No one knows you are leaving right?"

"Everyone but Sunset." Rage says

"Why did you tell her?" Twilight asks

"Right I never told you did I?" Rage asks

"Tell me what?" Twilight asks

"Sunset Shimmer and I are…well we're kind of a thing." Rage smiles with a small blush Twilight chuckles soon after she took a moment to process it "What's so funny?"

"Nothing." She answers "It's just that I kind of had a feeling you and her would hook up at some point." Twilight then turns around "We better get going Princess Celestia is expecting you."

"You told her?!" Rage almost yells as the two enter the portal.

About twenty five minutes later in the music room the gang was sitting and talking about random stuff. "Hay Shadow are you doing anything for Halloween?" Sonic asks

"I don't know." He answers "I was going to have a movie night with Rage and watch some scary movies but he said he was going somewhere."

"Speaking of which where is Rage?" Sonic asks "He never misses school!"

"Oh he and Princess Twilight are in Equestria." Sunset says

"Wait you mean he actually went to Equestria with Princess Twilight?" Shadow asks "Never thought he had it in him…"

"Well Rage does have that curiosity thing. Who knows maybe those Chaos Archives of his have some information on the place?" Sonic chuckles

"There not really his…" Sunset says "They are mass amounts of information that other Chaos Guardians have amassed. At least that is what he told me."

"What?!" Sonic gasps "What else did he tell you?"

"A lot." She answer "We actually might go to Mobius some time."

"Dammit I thought he agreed not to share any of that information…" Shadow spits

"Well it is kinda hard to hide it now with all the stuff that happened last year." Sonic says

"Yeah you're right." Shadow says as XL and Twilight walk in holding hands

"What's with you two?" Sonic asks

"Twilight and I…" XL smiles

"Are a couple!" Twilight finishes

"I take it that means the date went well?" Sonic smiles cockily and XL nods.

"Well Rarity and I have a thing to go to." Pinkie says looking at the clock

"Oh right we do need to get going!" Rarity says

"What do you have going on?" Applejack asks

"If you must know Pinkie Pie and I were chosen to work on decorations for a birthday party for local kid." Rarity says

"Oh that's very nice of you guys." Fluttershy smiles "I know you two will make the best party decorations ever."

"This alone calls for another party!" Pinkie squeals as Rarity rolls her eyes. Soon they heard the knob of the door turn. The ten look to see it open and they notice a kid look in. His hair was dark, cyan, long and covered one eye the other was open showing a sapphire eye color. His gray abd cyan glove made a sound as it rubbed against the doorknob. His black shirt was mostly covered by a black and red jacket. His black pants were highlighted with a cyan stripe at the bottom and his blue and white shoes were barely in view as the door covered most of them. The boy looked at the ten.

"Oh I am sorry I didn't mean to interrupt." He says

"No problem you seem lost." Sunset says "what's up?"

"Well my name is Sage and I am new here. I was looking for the Gym." He answers

"Down the hall room 128A." Sonic says seeming unfazed by the boy

"Thank you." Sage says closing the door

"Sage…" Shadow thinks "Strange I think I have heard that name before…"

"Well that's because you've been playing too much Final Fantasy." Sonic says with a sigh

"I have not!" Shadow object

"Really?" Sonic asks looking at him "just last night around midnight I was woken up to an accursed Ah ha ha ha!" he complains (A/N: coos to anyone who can guess the reference) "You were playing Final Fantasy I know that sound anywhere…"

"Fine maybe you're right." Shadow sighs as Pinkie and Rarity leave.

~Three days later~

The gang was by the statue that housed the portal to Equestria hanging out it was about 3:30 school was just over and the weather was nice for the start of November. "Has anyone seen Pinkie or Rarity?" Rainbow Dash asks.

"No" Sonic says

"Well that's strange…where are they? I haven't seen then since they said they were going to help with those party decorations…do you think something may have happened?" Sunset asks

"I hope not." Sonic says "If something did what are we to do we don't even know where they are." He then begins to fall back as the panel of the statue he was leaning on began to warp and become disfigured. Surprised he quickly leaps up right as Rage comes stumbling back out.

"Rage!" the group exclaims

"Hay guys!" he smiles

"So how was Equestria?" Sunset asks

"Interesting…" Rage answers "Took me while to learn to walk on four legs er… hoofs. Everypon- er I mean everybody is so nice there. Twilight wasn't kidding when she said you guys were there too. Speaking of which where's Pinkie Pie and Rarity?"

"We don't know." Twilight says

"Here we are!" Pinkie yells as they see them running over with Sage not far behind.

"Sage?" Sonic asks "What happened?"

"We were abducted by some punks and when the tired to take us away Sage saved us." Rarity says

"Uh-huh…" Rage says looking at him skeptically

"What's with the look?" Sage asks

"Yeah what's up?" Sonic asks Rage

"It's nothing." Rage says walking off "I have somethings I need to get done back at home I will see you later."

"What's with him?" Sage asks

"Dunno." Sunset says "He must be tired from his trip."

"Oh alright." Sage says

The next day Sage was walking to his locker when he finds a note taped to it. "Meet me in the back alley after school" it read "Strange…" Sage thinks "Wonder who it is…" he goes on his normal day thinking about the note before the day comes to and end and still cautious about it at the head of the alley behind the school where he was to meet the stranger he forms a charge of Chaos Energy and he enters the Alley.

"You can put that away…" Rage's voice comes from nowhere surprising Sage and he turns to see Rage leaning against the wall

"You're the one from yesterday what's this about?" Sage asks

"That Chaos Aura." Rage answers looking at him standing up straight

"What about it?" Sage asks pointing his hand at Rage

"Who are you." Rage responds

"I am not going to answer questions from the like of you!" Sage yells firing a Chaos Spear at Rage but to his surprise Rage absorbs it. "What the hell…" he says in shock as Rage stood there and sighs

"I didn't want to fight you." Rage says

"Then why did you bring me back here?" Sage asks

"To talk…" Rage responds "You need to keep that power suppressed buddy."

"It's not buddy…I am Sage you got that and who are you to tell me that?" Sage asks

"I am Rage Chaotic." Rage answers putting his hand up and forming a Chaos energy orb "I am the Chaos Guardian and the last thing I want is some other bozo attracted here because of your Chaos Energy Sage."

"Are you saying that…" Sage asks

"Correct that Sonic and Shadow you know are the ones from Mobius. I am from there as well as you are." Rage answers

"And how do you know that?" Sage asks

"Because Chaos Energy is only found naturally in the creatures of Mobius Sage the Hedgehog," Rage answers "I know this isn't the best of terms to introduce myself but this conversation must be kept secret and out of the way. You cannot use Chaos Energy here Sonic, Shadow and I have already put up with too much because of it here so tone it down got it?"

"Alright Rage…but you're not the Rage Sunset Shimmer always talks about are you?" Sage asks

"I am the same one." Rage answers walking out of the alley with Sage when three grey skinned teenagers approach them

"There he is." One says "The emo kid with the freaky powers!"

"uh oh…" Sage says "The Diamond Dog Gang again…"

"Piss off." Rage says to them

"What'd you say red head?"

"I said piss off." Rage repeats before quickly knocking all three out like it was nothing "And stay down."

"How did you do that so quickly?" Sage asks "You knocked them out in one hit each!"

"Simple" Rage says "I was trained in multiple Martial Arts."

"Can you teach me?" Sage asks

"The trick is easy grab where the neck and shoulder meet." Rage says "You'll get it eventually." He waves "I gotta go see you later."

"Alright Rage see ya!" Sage says
