Mario and Sonic: The Elements of Harmony
Chapter 21-The Fate of Reality
Sonic and the Super 6 exited the portal and arrived in the rift between dimensions.
They then see the Emperor Egg Robot floating in the distance, it then releases a burst of red energy, damaging reality even more. Eggman then notices the group of heroes and glares at them with hatred.
They all fly towards the Emperor Egg Robot, ready to end this once and for all. Eggman snarls and raises the mech right hand, he then fires the ball of spikes at the heroes. They all dodge the attack, but are then blasted away as the ball exploded, separating them.
Another ball of spikes replaced the one that was fired. Eggman then fired a massive laser from the chest of the mech. The laser split apart and created multiple rifts that swirled around the Emperor Egg Robot, each of the rifts then fired a massive blue laser.
The group looked more determined than ever and boosted forward towards Eggman. They each flew around in multiple directions to avoid the giant lasers, the lasers ceased and the rifts closed as Twilight boosted forward to confront Eggman.
"End this now, Robotnik! It's over!" Twilight yelled.
"NEVER! REALITY BENDS TO MY WILL! I WILL ERASE YOU ALL!" Eggman shouted in anger.
The mech then flew forward and threw a punch at Twilight, who wasn't expecting the attack and got sent back. She recovered and fired a massive beam from her horn directly at the Emperor Egg Robot. Eggman raised the mechs arms to block the attack, although the beam sent the mech back, it didn't do as much damage as Twilight had hoped.
Eggman then fired a barrage of missiles, causing Twilight to cast a shield spell to block the incoming attack. The sheer power from the explosions that followed sent Twilight back. As Twilight flew back, Sonic and Rainbow flew past her and went straight for Eggman.
Eggman then launched the pistons on the mechs forearms into the air and they began swirling around him. Three of the pistons floated towards the front of the mech while the other three swirled around the mad doctor. The pistons then each fired a laser to try and hit the two super speedsters.
The front pistons moved from right to left in an attempt to hit the pair. Sonic flew under the lasers while Rainbow flew above them. The three pistons swirling around the mech then opened fire as Sonic and Rainbow dashed forward. As the lasers swirled around, the two speedsters had to think quick on their feet and fly around the lasers with a series of flips and rolls.
The pair then boosted towards the mech, "Seriously, Eggman! When will it be enough?!" Sonic asked furiously.
"I WON'T STOP UNTIL I WATCH YOU DIE!" Eggman replied.
"No-one's dying on my watch, EggFace!" Rainbow yelled as they both boosted forward.
Eggman then flew forward and fired a laser from the mechs eyes. Sonic and Dash flew apart in separate directions to avoid the lasers. They flew back around they both hit the mechs head from both left and right. Once Rainbow and Sonic had hit the mech, Applejack and Rarity flew forward and hit the mech in the chest at the same time, sending it back.
Applejack and Rarity moved apart, giving way for Pinkie and Fluttershy to fly forward and hit the mech in the chest as well. Eggman growled and released a burst of energy, causing more damage to reality.
"DON'T ANY OF YOU GET IT?! NONE OF YOU CAN STOP ME!" Eggman shouted.
The group then flew together towards the mad doctor.
"Are you sure about that?" Pinkie asked.
Eggman then growled in anger and fired a laser from the mechs chest, the laser approached the group of heroes at high speeds. They all smirked and boosted forward together and collided with the beam. They began quickly overpowering the beam and eventually hit the mech right in the chest, causing damage to it and sending it back.
The mech then released another burst of energy, turning the void they were all in completely red. They were running out of time, they had to finish this now.
"Reality's starting to break apart!" Twilight shouted in alarm.
"We need to destroy that mech!" Sonic said.
"YOU WILL DO NOTHING!" Eggman shouted as he flew forward towards the heroes and shoulder charged them all.
Eggman wasted no time and fired a barrage of missiles, not giving them time to recover from the attack. Fluttershy, Rarity and Pinkie were hit by some of the missiles while Applejack, Rainbow, Twilight, and Sonic all dodged the missiles.
Sonic then flew forward as Eggman threw another punch, Sonic rolled over the giant arm and pushed forward towards the head of the mech.
"EGGMAN, THAT'S ENOUGH!" Sonic shouted.
"NO! THIS DOESN'T END UNTIL I SEE YOU DEAD, YOU SPEEDY SLIME BALL!" Eggman shouted.
Sonic was about to reach the head of the mech, but it suddenly teleported away. Sonic turned around, only to be hit by a giant spiked ball by Eggman as he reappeared behind the hedgehog. Sonic flew across the void as Rainbow and Applejack flew forward to try and hit the mech.
Eggman simply teleported away again before they could reach him. He then appeared again and hit them with a laser from the mechs chest. Eggman then flew towards Fluttershy and Pinkie and backhanded them away, he then turned to Rarity and blocked a blast of magic she fired from her horn and then punched her across the void.
Twilight then fired a beam from her horn to try and hit the mech. Eggman then teleported away, only to reappear to the left. Twilight fired another blast but Eggman teleported away again, he reappeared and disappeared as Twilight kept trying to hit him with magical blasts from her horn.
Eggman then appeared behind her and attempted to crush her with both of his spike balls, only to be pushed away by a Homing Attack by Sonic. Twilight turned to Sonic and they both smiled at one another as Eggman released another burst of energy from within the mech.
Twilight and Sonic both dashed forward as Eggman fired many missiles at the pair. They dodged and swayed away from the missiles and approached the mech. Eggman then pushed them back with a dispersal of energy.
"I have grown tired of these games. Time for the finale." Eggman said as the mech was suddenly engulfed in a rainbow flaming aura.
The heroes regrouped and saw what Eggman was doing, he was overcharging the Elements.
"He's charging somethin' up." Applejack said with worry evident in her voice.
"It's the Elements, he's going to reshape reality! We have to stop him!" Twilight said.
They all nodded and boosted forward. Eggman then smiled and formed a barrier around him, when they hit the barrier, they were sent back miles away.
The heroes were stunned as Eggman laughed, "MWAHAHAHAHAHA! THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO! LONG LIVE THE EGGMAN EMPIRE!"
They all looked on in fear, they had failed. Eggman was going to reshape reality in his image. They had lost.
"What do we do?" Rarity asked.
"What can we do? We can't get through that barrier!" Rainbow shouted.
"There has to be something we can do." Fluttershy said.
"There is." Sonic said.
They all turned to him with confusion written all over their faces.
"There is always something we can do, but we can't do it alone. We can stop Eggman, by working together." Sonic said.
Twilight smiled as she continued, "He's right. There's nothing we can't do by working together. Eggman may have the power of the Elements. But we have something far stronger."
"Friendship!" Sonic and Twilight said in unison.
They all smiled and came together in a single line, facing the Emperor Egg Robot. Suddenly, each of them started to glow as they all closed their eyes, their bonds of friendship finally showing its true power.
Eggman noticed this and looked at them confused, "What?"
They then each opened their eyes as their power erupted into the sky, a white aura surrounding all of them. They all then boosted forward, ready to end this.
Eggman didn't look amused, in fact, he looked mad.
"OH, WHY CAN'T YOU ALL JUST DIE?!" Eggman shouted.
"Because we have a power that's stronger than anything you've got, EggHead!" Sonic shouted.
"Our loyalty to each other make us stronger!" Rainbow shouted.
"Our kindness gives us power!" Fluttershy shouted.
"Our generosity!" Rarity shouted.
"Our laughter!" Pinkie shouted.
"Our honesty!" Applejack shouted.
"Our magic!" Twilight shouted.
"ALL OF THESE COMBINE TOGETHER TO CREATE THE GREATEST MAGIC OF ALL! FRIENDSHIP!" They all shouted in unison.
"WELL GUESS WHAT?! IT'S GAME OVER!" Eggman shouted as he finished charging up the Elements power, "ELEMENTAL BLASTER!" Eggman shouted as he fired a rainbow beam from the mechs chest towards the heroes.
The heroes and the Elemental Blaster collided in the middle of the void. The heroes struggled to overcome the gigantic laser, but they couldn't fail, if they did, reality would reset and Eggman would get what he wants.
Eggman saw them struggle and laughed, "OH HO HO HO HO HO HO HO! YOU CAN'T OVERPOWER THE ELEMENTAL BLASTER! DO US ALL A FAVOUR AND JUST LAY DOWN AND DIE!"
But they wouldn't give up, they had too much to lose if they failed. They all grunted as they channeled all of their strength to overcome the Elemental Blaster.
"YOU WON'T WIN, EGGMAN! I'LL NEVER LET YOU WIN!" Sonic shouted.
"WE WILL STOP YOU! WE WILL SAVE REALITY!" Twilight shouted.
"BECAUSE FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC!" They all shouted in unison.
They all then shot forward and actually began overpowering the Elemental Blaster as they flew closer to Eggman.
"WHAT?! NO! THIS CAN'T BE! IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO OVERPOWER THE ELEMENTAL BLASTER!" Eggman shouted in disbelief.
"THERE'S NOTHING THE SEVEN OF US CAN'T DO TOGETHER! VICTORY IS OURS FOR THE TAKING!" Sonic shouted.
"SONIC FRIENDSHIP SUPERBOOM!" They all shouted as they overpowered the Elemental Blaster.
The group of heroes shot forward and headed straight towards Eggman, who was doing everything he could to stop them, but alas, he couldn't. He screamed in anger as they shot right through the chest of the mech and came out the other side. A variety of colors shooting from out the back of the mech and being absorbed by the Element Bearers, they had their magic back.
They turned around to see the Emperor Egg Robot start to explode.
"I hate friendship! I hate magic! I hate those ponies! AND I. HATE. THAT. BLASTED HEDGEHOG!" Eggman screamed as the mech exploded in a flash of white light.
Suddenly, the entirety of the void was then engulfed in a white light, which engulfed the heroes as well.
Back in Equestria, a bright light shot out from the portal, the entire planet of Equis was engulfed in a white light. When the light dissipated, the tear in reality was gone. Canterlot and all the other Roboticized nations were back to normal, as were its citizens.
Everypony cheered as it seemed that everything turned out okay. The same could be said on Mobius, there was cheering and celebrations, even Shadow cracked a small smile.
Back in Canterlot, Tails and Spike looked around and saw that the castle was restored to its former glory. They then ran outside and saw that everything had gone back to normal. They cheered and shared a fist bump. Suddenly, their eyes caught a white orb descending down to the ground.
The orb touched the ground and instantly disappeared, they both could then clearly see Sonic and the girls, who were in their normal forms, standing before them.
The two then rushed over and they all joined in a group hug, and it was a well-deserved one at that.
They had done it.
They had beaten Eggman.
They had turned everything back to normal.
They had saved reality.
They had won.
It's been a few hours since Eggman was defeated and everything was restored to its former glory. The struggle against the Eggman Empire has ended and it was time for some R&R.
Sonic and Tails walked around with the Mane 6 around Canterlot, the girls giving their two interdimensional friends a tour of the royal city.
"So, this is what Canterlot looks like when it isn't in ruins, huh? Not bad." Sonic complimented.
"I agree. Very impressive." Tails commented.
"Heh heh, thanks. I knew you two would like it." Twilight said.
As they continued to walk around the city, they were suddenly interrupted by a wormhole which appeared in the sky above them. They then saw Eggman in his Egg Mobile crash down near the edge of the city.
They all looked at one another and rushed over to see what was happening. When they arrived, they saw Eggman lying on the floor on his back, his Egg Mobile smoking next to him.
Eggman groaned and sat up, rubbing his forehead with his hand.
"Ugh. What happened?" The mad doctor asked.
Sonic cleared his throat and Eggman turned to see the heroes glaring at him, except Sonic, who had a smirk on his face.
"So, how was your flight?" Sonic asked mockingly.
Eggman growled and got to his feet and dusted himself off.
"Gloat all you want, hedgehog! But this is far from over!" Eggman shouted.
"Doesn't look like it from our point of view." Rainbow said.
Twilight then stepped forward, "Ivo Robotnik. As the Princess of Equestria, I hereby declare you under arrest for the various atrocities committed against Equestria."
Orbot and Cubot then arrived on the scene and floated past Twilight, who looked confused for a moment.
"Where'd you two come from?" Twilight asked.
The two robots shrugged and floated next to their boss, who had his arms crossed.
"Well, boss. I guess you can add another failed plan to the list of your failed plans now, huh?" Cubot said, unaware that Eggman was getting angry.
"Uh, Cubot-" Orbot said but was cut off.
"I mean, you had the power to rewrite reality, and you still lost. Wow, that is bad, even for you." Cubot continued.
Eggman growled as Orbot attempted to shut him up.
"Cubot-" Orbot tried to get a word in.
"It's been what, thirty years, since you first lost to Sonic. Jeez, I would've quit by now, for sure."
As Cubot continued to ramble on, Eggman growled even louder until he finally couldn't take it anymore.
"OH, SHUT UP!" Eggman screamed as he went to kick Cubot, but Cubot quickly floated out of his reach, causing Eggman to spin around in the air before falling on his back.
Orbot and Cubot then floated away as Eggman got up and chased after them, screaming like a madman. As they ran, Twilight suddenly stopped them and encased them in a spell that ceased their movements. She then floated them towards her and set them down.
She then turned to Sonic, "Normally he would be sent to Tartarus, but since he comes from your world, I'll let you decide what to do with him."
"We'll take him back with us. He's our problem after all." Sonic replied.
Eggman growled as he got back up to his feet and glared at Sonic and Twilight.
"I'll be back, I can promise you that. I'll return to this dimension, and the Elements will be mine once again!" Eggman then turned around and began running to the edge of the city, "Only next time, I'll make my mech stronger!" Eggman then pressed on of the yellow buttons on his jacket and a jetpack appeared on his back. He jumped off the edge of the city, but he just floated there, wondering why he wasn't moving. "Hm, funny. Why isn't my jetpack working?"
The jetpack wasn't working because one of its exhaust hoses was missing.
"Hm, maybe because I, borrowed the exhaust hose!" Sonic said as he held the exhaust hose.
Eggman then gulped and fell down to the water below, "SOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNIIIIIIIICCCCCCC!" Eggman screamed as he fell.
"See you next fall, EggHead!" Sonic shouted as he chucked the exhaust hose behind him and smirked at the girls.
Twilight smiled at the blue hedgehog, "Well then, now that that's taken care of-"
"WE HAVE A PARTY TO GET TO!" Pinkie screamed as she cut Twilight off.
They all chuckled at the mares crazy antics.
A short while later in Canterlot Castle, a party in celebration was being held inside, courtesy of Pinkie Pie. There was a banner that hung above the door that said 'THANKS-FOR-HELPING-US-SAVE-REALITY-SONIC & TAILS'.
Tails and Spike were walking around, chatting about being sidekicks, or assistants, in Spike's case.
There were ponies playing party games and drinking fruit punch, laughing and having a good time. The only person not having a good time was Eggman, who was sitting in a cage in the corner of the room, pouting in defeat.
"I really hate those ponies." Eggman muttered.
Sonic then walked past the cage and smirked, "Cheers, EggHead." Sonic said as he raised his glass into the air as he past the mad genius.
Eggman then grabbed the bars of his cage and shouted, "AND I REALLY HATE YOU!"
Sonic laughed as he walked over to the girls, who were talking.
"So, we did it." Sonic said.
"That we did." Applejack replied.
Sonic was then suddenly pulled into a group hug by the Mane 6, who had tears in their eyes.
"We can't thank you enough, Sonic." Twilight said.
"We owe ya big time, sugarhog." Applejack said.
"You're one of the nicest creatures I have ever met." Fluttershy said.
"We are in your debt, darling." Rarity said.
"Promise that when you leave, you'll come visit us?" Pinkie asked.
Sonic chuckled and smiled kindly, "Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye." Sonic promised as he did the motions of the Pinkie Promise.
The hug ended and they all laughed. Rainbow then smirked at the hedgehog, "You know, we have a score to settle."
Sonic then shook his head and chuckled, "You're right. In fact, why wait?"
(End song)
The heroes then walked outside the castle and made their way to the main road. Sonic and Rainbow then walked to the middle of the road and smirked at each other.
"Ready to eat my dust?" Rainbow asked.
"Only if you're ready to eat mine." Sonic retorted.
Everyone sighed at their cockiness.
Twilight then flew over the pair and hovered in front of the two speedsters, flapping her wings to keep her airborne.
"Okay, it's a race around the entirety of Equestria. This is the starting line and the finish line. Whoever makes it back here first, wins." Twilight explained.
They both smirked as they got ready.
"Ready?" Twilight asked.
Sonic crouched down into a running position while Rainbow readied her wings.
"3."
Sonic smirked and glanced at Rainbow Dash.
"2."
Rainbow glanced at Sonic as well.
"1."
They readied themselves for the race of their lives.
"GO!"
They both then zoomed right out of Canterlot to prove who was the fastest thing alive. Though it didn't matter who was the fastest. What did matter was the bonds that were forged in this adventure. And thanks to those bonds, they will all be friends forever.
