Mario and Sonic: The Elements of Harmony

Chapter 3-Sonic to the Rescue

Last Time on M&S TEOH

"Huh…? Oh umm… sorry Starlight. It's just… Princess Celestia has asked me to do some research on beyond Equestria." Said Twilight.

"Beyond Equestria?... You know I never understood why ponies stay in Equestria's borders. Why not go and explore outside this land of ours?" said Starlight.

"Celestia and Luna probably doesn't want to cause any trouble that could lead to war." Said Twilight.

"Well anyway… yawn… just try not to stay up too late… remember, we have lunch with our friends tomorrow so don't stay up late." Said Starlight.

As the hours pass into the night, Twilight falls asleep at her study desk but is awakens by the bright light outside her window. She trots over to it and opens it, as she does, she a bright wave of light in the far distance.

"What in Equestria?" said as she witnesses the event.

As the light starts to dissipate into multiple sizes lights fly out and spread far and wide leaving Twilight confused and curious.

" Hmm…what was that light all about?...yawn I'm too tired to do anything about it now…I'll just have to take care of it first thing in the morning…" Twilight as she went to bed.

After light mange disperses, just off the coast of Ponyville, Firestar and Sonic lay on the ground, as both got trying to regain their balance.

"Uhhh…what the was that all about?..." Sonic asked Firestar.

"I clueless as you are" Firestar responds.

"Oh, Fluttershy! Nice to see you *screams* out and about." Discord said as he was in constant pain.

"Discord are you okay?" Fluttershy asked.

"Being honest I've never had this of type pain before in life?" Discord replied.

"Twilight you never believe what I just found on my doorstep. I was making breakfast with Sweetie Belle. when a bright light outside caught my attention. I opened the door to investigate when I saw this big wonderful green gem!" said Rarity as levitated the gem out of her bag.

"It looks like an emerald, but its shape like a diamond," Sunset said as she looked at the gem.

Then Rainbow, Applejack, Pinkie, Fluttershy, Nimble, and Discord ran up to the Alicorn.

"Oh, Twilight there you are. Discord is having these magic seizure, but he can't figure out why there happen." Said Fluttershy.

"I wonder maybe that gem is causing this?" Discord asked.

"She is human, but it looks like she was on fire, and I think it was…but it big…and blue?! Fluttershy said.

And if it was…I…I didn't know they talk or run that fast…" Applejack asked.

"Hedgehogs can't run fast! Not that fast!" Rainbow Dash said as she flew off in the same direction as the two ran.

As Rainbow took off Twilight and the rest of the Mane Six follow her.

"You know for a flying horse you're pretty fast!" said Sonic.

"Whatever! Quit the chatter and give me the gem!" Rainbow ordered.

"My name Sonic and my Fiery friend is Firestar". Sonic said

"And you are flying straight into a tree". Firestar added,

"That not my name! My name is Rainbow Daaa," as Rainbow crashed into the tree.

"Well Rainbow Crash, it's fun racing you, but we got to bail," Firestar said.

As Rainbow slowly got up, still dizzy from hitting the tree. As she rubbed her, a creature rises from the swap behind her. Once, Rainbow turned around she was in trouble.

"Oh boy," Rainbow said.

Both Sonic and Firestar were about 2 miles away where Rainbow crashed into a tree when they noticed that she was no longer chasing them.

"Looks like we manage to lose her," Firestar said.

"Yeah, but man she sure is fast as we are. I hope she didn't get too hurt by the run-in with the tree, but she is tough, she's probably ok." Said Sonic as he looked back.

Just as they about to dash, both of them heard a scream, it came from the place the Pegasus crashed.

"Sounds like she in trouble, I need to help her." Sonic said.

"But dude you don't know her plus even you help, she and her pals will get back the Emerald and capture, and we the emeralds and the crystals to get back home." Firestar reminded him.

"Sure, we don't even what do us once they catch up beside, it go against that I stand for if I didn't.

Looking at Sonic's determined face, she knew that Sonic always lends a hand no matter the circumstance.

"You are right Sonic, we should help her, so how do you want to play it?" Firestar asked.

"You get its attention, while I'll get the horse."

Just as two get ready to pull a recuse, Twilight and the others catch up to realize that the hydra managed to corner her.

"Oh no! I hope that strange hedgehog didn't hurt her…" said Starlight as they ran.

Rainbow was cornered between a rock and a very hungry hydra, unable to fly because she sprained her wing and hoof in the crash, Rainbow's life started to flash before as the hydra prepared to bite her. But out nowhere but fire blast caused the beast to lose its balance and then a flash of blue whips past grabbing Rainbow who milliseconds away from being lunch.

"Hey Ugly! Here some real firepower!" Firestar screamed.

The light runs behind the beast and skids to a halt, revealing that Sonic holding Rainbow Dash in his arms. Rainbow slowly opens their eyes, looks up. She sees the very blue hedgehog that about two minutes ago she was trying to stop. He was starring determinedly at the hydra with a small grin on his face. He looks down at the pegasus.

"You ok?" Sonic asked.

Rainbow looked his emerald-colored eyes, there something that made her feel safe. As she thought about this feeling, she started to blush.

"Uh…huh…" Rainbow replied to the hedgehog.

Sonic put Rainbow down her hooves and smiled at her as she gave a blank expression at him, he didn't notice it. Then Sonic ran to help Firestar who was exhausted.

"Take five hot stuff, leave the beast to me," Sonic told Firestar.

"Hey, Buttheads!" The Hydra then turned around toward Sonic. "Why don't you pick someone your match! "said Sonic.

With a big roar, the hydra charged Sonic, who dashed out of the way, Sonic then continued to taunt the beast as it continued at the hedgehog and missed every time. Rainbow looked on in awe at Sonic's agility, how is it that was able to move so fast and be so agile with the ability to stop on a dime. Sonic then stood a rock and called out the hydra again.

"Yo! …I thought having four heads would make you smarter…but I can see that's not the case!" said Sonic.

The hydra then angrily charged at Sonic head-on, but yet again Sonic dodged the monster causing it to slam into the rock. The hydra slowly rose with one of the heads dazed from the hit.

"See you're just proving my point." Said Sonic proudly.

As he taunted the hydra, the others arrived at the top of a nearby hill and saw what was transpiring.

"Oh dear…" said Fluttershy.

"Hah, a hydra! …I knew it!" said Pinkie, oblivious to the situation.

"Hey, isn't that the blue hedgehog that rudely grabbed that gem from us?" asked Rarity.

"What in tarnation does it think it's doing?" asked Applejack.

"It looks like… it's saving Rainbow Dash?" answered Twinkle.

"But why would it do that? I thought it was trying to run away." Said Spike.

"Speaking of getting away, why is Rainbow just sitting there?" asked Starlight.

Discord summoned a pair of binoculars and looked through them. He adjusted as he started at Rainbow.

"Well, Rainbow Dash has sprained both her hoof and wing," said Discord and he snapped his finger making binoculars disappear into thin air and Miss Flame is taking a breather.

"That isn't good." Said Spike.

As the others continued to watch from afar, Sonic continued to zip around the hydra, dodging every lung the beast threw at him.

"I think it time to wrap things up!" said Sonic.

Sonic then waved to hydra's head, it then lunged at him, and he dodged it, but not as fast as before. He was still moving but as fast as she could. As he slowly ran around the hydra, dodging its heads in and out, Rainbow continued to be watched in amazement. Sonic then stopped and stood wide in the open, his eyes shut and with a smirk on his face. The beast's heads charged him one last time but as it did fell over. Sonic had run so many circles around it, he managed to tie up its necks around its body. It then slowly got back up and tried to untangle itself.

"That should do it…but just to be safe…" said Sonic as he started to charge up in a spin dash.

Rainbow, Firestar, and the others watch Sonic perform this, as ponies and Discord never saw anything like it. Sonic then dashed at the hydra, slamming into its chest, knocking it off balance. As it started to tip over, it began to fall toward Rainbow Dash who still couldn't move. Sonic then rushes by, swooping her up just as the hydra hits the ground. Sonic manages to get Rainbow out of the way in time, but trips over a tree root, causing them to topple to the ground. Sonic is first to get up and he watches the tangled hydra slowly cower away, whimpering.

"That'll teach yah! Hah…who said four heads are better than one?" said Sonic as he walked over to Rainbow and Firestar.

Sonic grabbed Rainbow's front leg and helped her off the ground, she continued to rub her head as helped her.

"Hey…I hope I didn't break anything. Are you…" Sonic was about his sentence as Rainbow looked him eye to eye. As he stared into her eyes, he suddenly had a strange feeling deep inside him. One he felt before but hasn't felt in a long time. Sonic then shrugs it off and continues to help Rainbow up.

"Heh…thanks…for…saving my life back there…" said Rainbow.

"…Um…heh…it was nothing…Hey, I'm sorry about before, I just can't risk letting this emerald get into the wrong hands. "said Sonic as he pulled out the emerald.

"Trust me in the wrong hands it practically the end of the world," Firestar added.

Suddenly a rope lassos Sonic, pressing his arms against his sides. And Firestar was in the air in a magic bubble. Then the others ran over to if their friend was ok.

"Rainbow, are you ok? Did this…hedgehog hurt you? How about the hydra?" asked Twilight as holding Firestar with her magic.

"Relax Twilight, I'm fine, really. Thanks to…Sonic was it?" Rainbow asked the hedgehog to make sure she was right.

Yep, now could you…horses please untie this lasso." Asked Sonic.

"First off, we ain't horses! Were ponies, and second, if you think I gonna let you go after what you just put Rainbow and us through, you've got another thing coming blue boy!" replied Applejack.

Sonic frowned at her. "Listen Eastwood, the last time someone put a rope around me, I gave them the ride of their life. So if you don't unite me cowgirl I'll give you a real rodeo! "said Sonic.

Applejack huffed at the hedgehog. "Hag I'm the all-time rodeo champ in all of Equestria! So if you're trying to say that I can't handle some speedy varmint, I'd like to see you tttrrrrrYYYYYEEEYEYYEEYEYE!" Applejack screamed as Sonic ran circles about the group rapidly, pulling the farm pony along for the ride.

Rainbow Dash would have usually been pissed off at someone who did this to one of her friends, but she started to giggle at the action, she knew that Sonic meant no harm. He was just trying to prove a point.

"O…K…Please…. Stop…I'm…Gonna…. Hurl…. Ah…. Ah…Fine…You…win…. I'll…Unite ya…Whoah!" said Applejack as she was hurled when Sonic stopped.

"Unless your hair to be fire put me down and untie my friend please." Firestar thread Twilight.

Using her magic, Twilight lets down Firestar and unties Sonic.

"Ok your free, but before you leave will you kindly return that strange gem. I have a feeling may have some sort of dark magic in it." Asked Twilight.

"You mean the Chaos Emerald? Please this emerald is anything but magic." Said Sonic.

"What a lovely name for a gem." Discord said.

"What's with the walking and talking zoo?" said Firestar sarcastically.

"This is Discord, the former spirit of chaos," said Fluttershy.

"Spirit of chaos? You not made of water." Said Sonic in confusion.

"O…K…then, ahem. Well if we can get back to the business at hand, would you return that…um…Chaos Emerald, please.

"Sorry bright eyes no can do. "said Sonic.

"Excuse Me!?" shouted a now insulted Rarity.

Twilight pushed Rarity aside. "Please…umm…Sonic…that emerald has an enormous amount of energy. I must bring to Princess Celestia for safekeeping." Said Twilight.

"I love to, but I can't…We in a hurry and others jewels and get back home." Firestar said.

"Wait…there are more of these things?" asked Sunset.

Sonic was explained that the emeralds and crystals were massive but work different ways. As he was talking Spike burped out a letter and he began to read.

"Dear Twilight, You and your friends are needed in Canterlot right away! There have been reported and sightings of a strange metal creature and more life forms lurking around the streets of Canterlot. So far they managed to be injured ten of the royal guards as they attempted to apprehend this creature.

"A black hedgehog and metal creature? Sonic, Firestar could this be your friends?" asked Twilight.

Both of them gave a long thought, Sonic thought who could they be. Then Firestar broke the silence.

"Yeah…Hey does Spike work both ways with the barfing letter thing?" asked Firestar.

"Yes, why? Twilight asked.

"Tell your princess to hold the back her guards, cause if those two are my friends…attacking them would only make it worse…really worse…like destroy anything that moves worse. "said Sonic he started to run ahead.

"Sonic, where are you going darling? "asked Rarity.

"I can make it to this Canterlot place on foot fast, just give me in the direction," Sonic said.

"Hold on there Blue. I'm coming with you; I know the quickest way to get there." Rainbow said.

"Okay…Twilight send the letter and meet us in Canterlot, Come Dash, try to keep up.

As the two teams raced in their different ways to Canterlot in, the Equestrian Capital City, palace patrol being very cautious. As they slowly walk past a dark alleyway, they spotted four figures in the dark, then the light realeved to be Shadow, Omega, Cream, and Ironwood, and Omega gave them the signal to walked slowly out the alley.

"I'm really scared Mr. Shadow…Do you know where we are?" asked Cream.

"Don't worry about Cream. Stand by us we won't let anything hurt you" said Shadow as Ironwood ready his swords and Omega drew his guns ready for the worst
