Mario and Sonic: The Elements of Harmony
Chapter 4-Canterlot Calamity
Last Time on M&S TEOH
"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.
"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.
As Sonic and Rainbow continue their race get to Canterlot, the rest of the team make to the train station only to find out be held up the slight problem.
"What do mean, the train to Canterlot is running late!? We must get to Canterlot post-haste!" shouted as Rarity at the station attendant.
"I'm very sorry miss, but there was some sort of accident with the train last night. I wish could tell you more but that's all I know." Said the attendant.
It's okay Rarity, I'll get Spike to send that letter to Celestia, that by Sonic, Rainbow, and us some time." Twilight then turn to his assistant and levitated the letter from the nervous-looking dragon. "Spike, Celestia won't be able to read this! I can't even read it!" said Twilight.
"Sorry Twilight, the ride over here was really bumpy. I could go back to the castle and more paper." Said Spike.
"Oh, but there isn't much time…we'll just have to wait for the train…and hope that Rainbow and Sonic get there on time." Twilight said.
Meanwhile in Canterlot, Shadow, Omega, Ironwood, and Cream continue to sneak around the streets of the city, avoiding the guards.
"I wonder why all the people are ponies, I haven't seen anything else. No cats, foxes, or echidnas. Do you know Mr. Omega?
"Unable to answer that question. This City was not located in any of G.U.N's databanks. It is a high possibility that the unidentified blast of light that originated from Eggman's machine could have sent us here. However, where there is, is unknown." Said Omega.
"I didn't understand a word he says?" Ironwood asked.
"In other words, we've brought by Chaos Control," Shadow answered
Just as Ironwood and Cream were shocked by Shadow's answer, they heard trotting as the guard used their magic to levitate both Cream and Cheese toward them.
"Don't worry tiny rabbit girl, I will save you! "said Omega eyes turn from green to red.
"Damn. We got company." Said Ironwood
As Shadow, Omega, and Ironwood fought the royal guards head-on, Sonic and Rainbow finally arrive in Canterlot, they look around the area and see nothing but destruction. It wasn't to devastating though, looked like someone got in a physical fight, which made Sonic sigh relief.
"Wow, your friends have anger issues." Said Rainbow.
"Nah…Let's just say my friends are more defensive than most others. "said Sonic.
"So how are we going to them? He could be anywhere!." Said Rainbow.
"That easy…just follow the trail destruction…" said Sonic as both he and Rainbow sped off.
Later at Canterlot Castle, Princess Celestia is outside when the guards who took Cream and Cheese approach her.
"Your majesty, we managed to capture this…uh… rabbit-like creature. She was located near them.
Celestia walked up to the levitating rabbit, she noticed that she was holding a small, strange fairy creature. As she got closer, Cream who was really scared, started to cry.
Oh dear…please young one, we mean you no harm…captain you may put…" before Celestia could finish, the trio managed to catch them.
"Release the child, or suffering the Consequences. "said Omega.
"Wait Omega!" said Cream, as she stopped crying.
"Omega?" said Celestia as she looked at Cream.
"This is your final warning…release the child…you have five seconds to comply…5…4…3…2…1…" said Omega as Celestia and She looked on in confusion.
Omega's eyes then glowed red as he retracted into his body, pushing out two miniguns that started to spin. He then took aim at Celestia and fired the guns rapidly. Celestia used her magic to form a shield, to protect her guards and herself. His onslaught continued for about a minute until he ceased fire. With the princess shield still up, Omega then retracted his guns then pulled out his rockets and fire one of them to weaken the shield.
"That explosion came from that castle!" said Sonic.
"The princess! Sonic let's go!" said Rainbow.
As Sonic and Rainbow raced to the castle, the others continued to wait at the train station.
"This is sooooo boring!" said Pinkie
"Oh for Pete's sake! What is taking that darn so long to get here!" said Applejack.
As the others continued to wait, Fluttershy noticed that Discord wasn't with them. "Hey, has anyone seen Discord? "she asked.
Out of nowhere Discord appeared.
"And where did you go?" Sunset asked dryly.
"Why Canterlot of course! I was craving one of their famous cinnamon churro and I couldn't wait any longer.
"You mean you just teleported to the same place we're waiting to go?" asked a peeved Rarity.
"If you wanted me to teleported all you could've asked, but nevertheless allow me to make it up to all." Discord replied
Using his powers, Discord snapped his fingers instantly teleporting the gang to the throne room of Celestia and Luna.
As the group looked around the room, they didn't see Princess Celestia anywhere. Then they heard an explosion outside.
"What the hay was that!?" asked Trixie.
"Maybe it's fireworks!" said Pinkie.
"I…don't think its fireworks, Pinkie…" said Starlight.
"Come on girls!" said Twilight.
As they ran to investigate, Omega continued to fire rockets at Celestia, causing her shield to crack under pressure.
"Go! I will deal with this creature…" said the alicorn.
"Please, WAIT!" said Cream as the guards left with her.
Omega fired one last rocket, hitting the shield, and shattering it. The second it when down, Celestia fired a blast of magic from her horn hitting Omega and throwing it into a nearby wall. Omega recovered and charged at Celestia, as she fires another blast the bot brings up his shield holding his ground. As Omega continues to march toward her he preps his laser cannon and fires it, but she files in the air dodging at the last moment. Celestia and Omega stood at opposite ends, staring each other down. Twilight and the others emerged out of the castle and saw the conflict.
"Is that thing Sonic's friend!?" asked Sunset and Starlight.
"What is it?" asked Twinkle.
Celestia then prepared to fire another blast of magic, as Omega charged his laser cannon when Sonic and Rainbow rushed between the two clashing forces.
"Omega! Calm down, Man! Cease Fire, Cease Fire!" yelled Sonic.
"Princess Celestia wait!" said Rainbow
"Rainbow Dash? Twilight?" said Celestia as she also saw Twilight and her friends on the top of the stairs.
"Identification confirmed…Sonic you are here as well?" Asked Omega.
"Easy big guy…these ponies are cool; they mean us no harm." Said Sonic
"Inaccurate…they took Shadow, the rabbit girl, and the sword guy hostage." Said Omega
"Rabbit girl and sword guy? …You mean Cream and Ironwood are here too?" said Sonic in surprise.
As the guards watched on in confusion, Cream saw her friend and she went sad to happy.
"Sonic! I'm glad to see you" said Cream as the guard released her his magic.
"Yeah it's good see you too Cream, so what happened to Shadow and Ironwood." Asked Sonic
As Cream and Sonic were talking to each other, Celestia looked at Twilight and her friends in confusion.
"Twilight, can you please explain to me what this is all about?" asked Celestia.
Twilight sighed in relief and smiled at her teacher, later inside the castle, as they all walked down the castle hallways. Twilight finishes explaining to Celestia what's going on.
"That's quite a story. It would explain what happen?" said Celestia.
Omega approached Celestia, Cream riding on his shoulder and bowed to the Princess.
"My Apologies Princess Celestia! …I was originally programmed to destroy. I have tried to override my programming, but when I see someone in danger, it somehow firewalls itself back into databanks." Said Omega.
"…Um…its quite alright…Omega, I now know you were just trying to protect this little one. A quite honorable act indeed…and please call me Celestia…hehe…" said Celestia.
"You said someone programed you destroy, who exactly programmed you?" asked Sunset.
"A scientist named Dr. Eggman. He created me to hunt down and destroy Sonic. But I was too intelligent and refused his orders. He then tried to disassemble me, but I fought back and escape his base. After which I joined a military task force called Guardian Untied of Nations or G.U.N for short." said Omega.
"Dr…hah…Eggman? Haha what a lame name!" laughed Rainbow Dash.
"Don't underestimate Eggman…he may have a funny name, but he's no laughing matter." As Shadow and Ironwood enter the throne.
"Yes, He has tried taking over our world may time, he has a huge unlimited army of robots at his disposal." Omega added.
"Not only that his as ally name Bowser who is lord of the Koopas and he as an army big as him." Ironwood said.
While Sonic and Shadow explains how Bowser and Eggman team up to rule the universe, in the far north of Canterlot close to the Crystal Empire what appeared to pieces of the base of Eggman and Bowser inlay of ice and snow.
"Oh my head, Eggy where the heck are we? " said Bowser
"I wish I knew, maybe the Chaos Emeralds and the Crystal Stars have sent us hereafter Omega aggravated them.
"Sir…we've detected a high energy signature. It appears to be coming from that nearby city." Said Orbot.
"Yeah, the one that looks made out crystal and stuff!" said Cubot.
Bowser smirked. "It could be Chaos Emerald or a Crystal Star." But three female voices shouted.
"Don't even think about it!" said Daisy
"Yeah! Mario and Sonic will stop you and you guys know it." Peach and Amy added on.
"Don't make me laugh, even if did manage to get sucked into this world as we did, there is no way they find us…they could be blasted on the other of the world. He may be fast…this time they are too late. ' Infinite laughed wickedly.
"Where are you dudes?" Shockwave.
