Episode 8: Future Sighted
In Dr. Eggman's lab, the mad scientist is working on yet another plan to defeat Sonic and the Freedom Fighters, along with Sun who is their new ally. He looks at the data he has collected. He then looks at the event of Sun being able to use the Master Emerald and the Chaos Emeralds. Dr. Eggman actually has a secret camera spying on Sun while Glittering Sparkle is on her mission. He sees what glittering Sparkle use the Dark Chaos Emerald to corrupt the purple one, and Knuckles. Orbot and Cubot enter the room to see what Dr. Eggman is doing.
"Hey boss, what are you doing? Are you watching a movie?" Cubot asks.
"No. I'm not watching a movie," Eggman sternly answers.
Orbot says, "Dr. Eggman is looking at the secret video he recorded on Angel Island. He's been pondering about it for a day now."
"Wow! Sun and Glittering Sparkle are incredible and have awesome powers," Cubot says.
"Yes, but I have to be concerned about Glittering Sparkle dark powers," Orbot replies.
"Why? She seems to be controlling it very well," Cubot says.
Orbot whispers, "I'm having trouble trusting her. I've noticed her hair and eyes are different than the last time we saw her."
"Maybe she got new contacts and a hair dye," Cubot suggests.
Orbot sighs in reply.
"Quit your worrying. We need to find another way to defeat Sonic and get those Chaos Emeralds from that girl," Eggman says.
Orbot and Cubot then leaves the room. Eggman looks at the images, specifically Sun and Glittering Sparkle's power.
In Freedom Fighters HQ, Sonic, Sun, and the Freedom Fighters are meeting with the silver hedgehog, who says his name is Silver the Hedgehog. At the same time, Sally, and the others explains to Silver about what has happened before he arrives from the future. Sun is confused when he says.
Sun looks at the silver hedgehog and thinks, "Silver? Why he said that he came back to the present to save his future. And… why was he looking for me? He seems friendly enough."
She then hears Silver says, "I'm glad that you're back, Sonic. Last time I came here, you disappeared along with Tails, Amy, and the others."
"Yeah. It's a long story. All I can tell you is that we were imprisoned in Chaos Emerald and sent to another world at the same time. If it wasn't for our new friend Sun… Cream and Cheese, Knuckles, and I would have been stuck in them," Sonic says.
"That's almost hard to believe you were trapped in the Chaos Emeralds. Then again, with your line of adventures, it is possible," Silver says.
"It is. But Tails, Amy, Shadow, and Rouge are still stuck inside," Cream says.
Sun turns to Cream, "And we will get them out."
"Yes, but so far, you and Glittering Sparkle are the only ones who can get them out," Sally says.
Sonic turns to Silver and asks, "Yo Silver, why did you come back here, and what this about finding Sun? You're not planning on attacking her?"
"What?! No! That isn't it at all! In fact, your friend Sun, is the only one who can help save the future!" Silver says, feeling offended.
Then says, "Look, if you're doubting me because I attacked you and your friends before…"
"You what?! When?!" Sun exclaims in shock.
"It was two hundred years ago!" Silver says.
But remembers, "Well, for me anyway, and uh, like around two years ago for them and…"
"Silver, you're going to get Sun confused. I think it's best not to make past and present sync perfectly," Sonic says.
"Right," Silver says.
Sun then asks, "So um, what this about me saving your future?"
"Well uh, it's a bit hard to explain, but I'll try to explain it the best I can. You see, I lived 200 years into the future, and the future well… something strange happens. There are dark purple clouds and launching light purple lighting and thunder. Everything has been destroyed. What's more there's some strange dragon. I don't know much, but I saw it changed what looks like some kind of girl or a woman. I didn't get a close look until she nearly change back into a dragon and tried to fry me," Silver says.
"That sounds terrible," Cream says worried.
"It's a good thing you got away," Bunnie says.
Anyway… I'm willing to bet that the destruction of the future might be linked to this Glittering Sparkle who said that been trying to attack you and steal the Chaos Emeralds," Silver says.
"Seems logical. That girl has some major issues. Sun think the Dark Chaos Emerald is starting to corrupt her," Sonic says.
Then Rotor asks, "But what this about Sun saving the future."
"I… I don't know much, but I know, but I was informed that I need to find the one person who can save the future. My informant told me that she has fire hair, amber skin, and can gain large and majestic wings," Silver says.
Then turns to Sun, "When I saw you and your transformation, I knew you were the one I was looking for. I must ask that you help me defeat the one who will end up destroying the future."
"I have to admit Silver, this is kind of overwhelming, but I'm willing to help. If that dragon you're talking about is Glittering Sparkle then we need to defeat her and get the Dark Chaos Emerald away from her," Sun says.
"Thank you for taking it well and your willingness to help," Silver says.
Then asks, "What should we do?"
"We still need to free Amy and the others from the Chaos Emeralds they're trapped inside," Sun says.
"At the same time, we need to stop Dr. Eggman and Glittering Sparkle," Sally says.
"Right," Silver says.
Then asks, "So where are they now?"
"Knowing those two, they're in Eggman's secret base working on another hair-brained scheme to take the Chaos Emeralds from us," Sonic says.
In, Dr. Eggman's secret base, the mad scientist is at work and trying to figure out which robot he is planning to use to attack. He looks at his computer to see the different robots he has. Just then, Glittering Sparkle enters the room to see Dr. Eggman looking at the screen showing a different robot.
She walks over and asks, "What are you up to, Dr. Eggman?"
"Trying to figure out a way to get the girl and the emeralds while defeating Sonic and his annoying friends," Eggman says.
"If you want, I can go find them and take the Emeralds," Glittering Sparkle says.
"Not this time. I have another assignment for you to carry out. I'm sending one of my robots. Unknown to her, I'm planning on sending a little bug in the robot," Eggmans says.
"How will a little bug will help?" Glittering Sparkle asks.
"It will fly to Sun and take her D.N.A, and then we'll know what makes this kid tick," Eggman says.
Glittering Sparkle smirks, "I get it. If we can learn more about Sun other than gaining powers and such, we can come up with a way to beat her."
"That is correct," Eggman says.
"So what will you be assigning me to do?" Glittering Sparkle asks.
"Well, I need you to go to the Dragon Kingdom to meet with a branch of my Dark Egg Legion there. You will be meeting with Conquering Storm and her ninjas of Lynx," Eggman says.
"Of course, I'll be sure to depart there right away, if you can send me directions," Glittering Sparkle says.
Then asks, "So what robot will you be sending to attack them, and sending your little bug in?"
Eggman smirks, "I know just the robot to use for those annoying heroes."
Dr. Eggmsan presses the button to show a giant robot that looks like a giant brown rock stature. It also has red glowing eyes and has Eggman's symbol on the belt.
Eggman smirks, and says, "Meet the Egg Golem, and it's going to rock those heroes into pieces!"
Then he maniacally laughs as Glittering Sparkle looks at the screen to see the strange robot on the screen.
Back in New Mobotropolis, Sun is walking around the city. She doesn't have much time to look around the first few days she has been here. She walks around to see the Mobians going on their normal lives. Seeing the city reminds her a lot of back home.
"This place seems very peaceful. It reminds me so much of Canterlot. My birthplace. Of course, it's not on top of a mountain or anything," Sun thinks.
Sun sighs, "Speaking of home, I'm still not sure about living in Canterlot away from my friends in Canterlot City. Then again, Princess Celestia made me the Protector of the Mirror, maybe she will allow me to stay in Canterlot City. I'll be sure to visit my friends in Equestria."
Just then, she hears someone calling out, "Sun!"
Sun turns around to see Silver the Hedgehog walking towards her.
"Hi Silver. How are you doing?" Sun says with a smile.
"Doing okay. I just want to see how you're doing," Silver says.
"I'm doing fine. I'm just walking around the city. It's a fine day," Sun says.
"It sure is. Way different than my time at the moment. Once we stop this threat, I'm sure the future will be better," Silver says.
"I've been meaning to ask, how are you able to travel to the past from the future 200 years apart?" Sun asks.
"Um. Well. I was giving his special stone and Power Rings that can allow me to travel into the past. I've been using them to travel from my home to here and back," Silver says.
"I see. I'm kind of amazed. Of all the adventures I had so far, I've never met someone from the future before," Sun says.
"Really now?" Silver replies.
"Yes. The truth is, I actually lived in a different world entirely, same with Glittering Sparkle," Sun says.
"Another world?" Silver says, confused.
"Yes. I'm going to Uncle Chuck's diner to get something to eat, you wanna join? I can tell you all of my adventures," Sun says.
"Sure. I would like that," Silver says.
Sun and Silver begin to head off to Uncle Chuck's diner. Sometime later, Sun explains to Silver about what happened in her home world… more like home worlds. Sun tells Silver her story on how she used to be a pony living in one world, and how she became a human living in another. She also explains all the adventures she had with her friends. How they make friends, gain magical powers, and stop wild magic and those who have been using them for their gain.
Sun says, "After that, Rarity, Applejack, Wire Wolf, and I were able to help Vignette understand that it's not wrong with wanting to be better, but not at the expense of others, especially friends. We're able to stay in touch and become good friends. Luckily, the parade isn't ruined and we put on a great performance."
"What a nice story. Sounds like you are not only teaching others about friendship, but you all seem to learn about it yourselves," Silver says.
"Yeah. Rarity and Applejack learned a valuable lesson from this experience. Rarity learned that fame doesn't matter without her friends with her. Applejack also learned that even though she feels jealous, it's important to be honest with herself," Sun says.
"I see. It seems that you always have bumpy starts, but you and your friends manage to get through at the end," Silver says.
He then sighs, and says, "Meanwhile, I always seem to mess up everything I did."
"How come?" Sun asks.
"I… I'm not sure. I don't want you to think badly of me," Silver says, feeling ashamed.
"Silver, I'm sure I'm not going to think differently of you. Maybe I can help you with your problem," Sun says.
Silver looks at Sun who is showing a calm smile on her face.
Silver sighs, "Alright… it started started two years ago. I had to travel back in time to find a traitor in the Freedom Fighters."
"A traitor among Sonic and his friends? That's hard to believe," Sun says, a little surprised.
"That what Sonic and the others said. In fact, at first, I thought Sonic was the traitor. I came all the way to destroy him in order to save the future. However, I well… I only based on that assumption because he has the power to do so. I was convinced not to do that based on legend alone. Of course, another hedgehog and I got caught in a fight with Sonic's evil counterpart… but that's another story," Silver says.
"I see," Suns says.
"After that, I returned to the future to do some more research. Then I thought it was Rotor," Silver says.
Sun the suspects, "Let me guess. You returned to the past to destroy Rotor only to find out he wasn't the right one either."
"Yes. And he was on a mission to save his Herd in the Arctic Tundra with Sonic and the Arctic Freedom Fighters," Silver says.
Silver groans, "And when I tried it again, I thought it was Antoine. When I told Sonic, he got really mad at me and dragged me over to see Antoine was badly injured and was in a coma."
"Oh no. That must have been awful to see that," Sun says, concern.
"It was. No matter what I did, I was so off the mark. I was able to find out the traitor was Sally, but there wasn't really a traitor to being with," Silver says, frustrated.
"How's that?" Sun asks.
"I'm guessing Sonic never told you. Sally was roboticized and was controlled by Dr. Eggman into doing terrible things. We were able to save Sally and deroboticized her. I was glad I was able to save the future then, but…" Silver says, depressed.
He sighs, and says, "But I still felt terrible for ever thinking they will betray their friends like that. And I've been getting my information wrong three times. I felt stupid."
Sun thinks about it, "Hmm."
Then says, "Well I do admit, you have been getting your facts wrong, but you were trying to save your home and your future. I think you become so worried about trying to save the future that you had trouble thinking straight. You just need to learn not to grow concern and stress out about it, and be sure to think ahead before taking action.
"Um, thanks. I… I think I'll remember that. I actually decided to try to do that when I need to find you. I do hope you can help put a stop to Dr. Eggman and Glittering Sparkle's ambitions," Silver says in concern.
"I'm sure we will. We just need to free the others and hopefully use the Chaos Emeralds to get rid of the Dark emerald,"Eve says.
"I hope so," Silver says.
"Don't worry, as long as our friends are with us, we'll be sure to beat them," Sun says with a smile.
Then asks, "Just one question, how were you able to fly when I first saw you."
"Oh that," Silver says, feeling embarrassed.
Then says, "That's my psychokinesis. I use these abilities to make myself fly, lift stuff in the air, and trap foes in them."
"Hmm, your powers kind of reminds me of my friend's Twilight. She can lift stuff and stop them in their place. She can even make herself fly," Sun says.
"Sounds interesting," Silver says.
Walking towards the table is Nicole, who is happy to see Sun.
"Hello Sun," Nicole says.
"Hi Nicole," Sun says with a smile.
Nicole says, "I see you are enjoying yourself, but Sally send me to find you and Silver. They want you to head to Freedom HQ."
"Okay," Sun says.
Suddenly, the diner begins to shake causing the tables and stuff on the table. Silver turns to see the water rippling in a glass as it shakes.
"What's going on?" Nicole asks.
"I think it's coming from outside," Silver says.
Sun, Nicole, and Silver hurry outside and become shocked to see a giant stone golem walking towards the city.
"What is that?!" Silver exclaims.
"It must be one of Eggman's robots," Nicole says.
"And it's coming this way," Sun says.
She then hurries forward to where the robot is going to.
"Sun! Where are you going?!" Silver screams.
"I need to stop that robot before it reaches the city! It will destroy it if we don't do something," Sun says.
She then runs off to go stop the robot.
Silver then uses his powers to lift himself in the air, "I'm going with you. I can't allow you to do this alone."
"I'll get Sonic and the others," Nicole says.
She disappears to go find the others. Sun continues to hurry towards the edge of the city so she can stop the robot from destroying it.
The Golem continues to walk towards the city and doesn't plan on stopping. Sun runs outside of the city to see the Egg Golem coming this way.
"Alright, I gotta stop the monster and I'm going to need to do this fast," Sun says.
Sun then uses her geode necklace to gain her ears, tail, and wings. Sun then flies in the air just as Silver arrives. He is amazed to see her gaining her wings again and is flying towards the monster. Sun then creates fire from her hands and strikes the monster in powerful flames. Much to Sun's shock, the fire doesn't have an affect on it.
Sun thinks, "Looks like I have to go on a different approach."
Sun then activates the Sonic Charm and performs a spin dash towards the Egg Golem. The Egg Golem gives it a hard punch and the two attacks repel each other. Sun falls towards the ground, but Silver catches her with his psychokinesis.
Sun turns to Silver, "Thanks."
"No problem," Silver says.
Unknown to Sun and Silver, a small bug like robot flies towards Sun and lands on her neck. The next moment, it sends a strange stinger into Sun's neck.
Sun yelps softly and touches her neck.
She asks herself, "What was that?"
Sun doesn't know it, but the small robotic bug flies away before she can notice and heads back to its receiver.
Suddenly, they hear Sonic's voice, "Sun! Silver!"
Sun and Silver turn around to see Sonic and the others hurrying over to them. Silver then places Sun back on the ground just as Sonic and the rest of the Freedom Fighters arrive.
"Are you okay?" Sonic asks.
"I'm fine, but something tells me that Dr. Eggman sent that robot to attack us," Sun says.
"No questions there sugarcube. We gotta stop that monster before he destroys the city," Bunnie says.
"Then let's do it to it," Sonic says.
Sonic is the first to speed off and spin dashes at the Egg Golem. The Egg Golem then punches Sonic and sends him crashing to the ground.
Sonic stands up, "That thing is harder than the last time I fought him."
"I'm coming Sonic," Sun shouts.
Sun then places her hand on the Knuckles charm, "Let's see what this one can give me."
The Knuckles charm begins to glow and on her hands. Sun looks at her hands to see white gloves appears on her hands and have two spikes on each knuckle of the glove.
"I don't know why, but I feel a lot stronger with this ability," Sun thinks.
Sonic jumps in the air and gives the Golem a spin dash at the head. Sun then runs towards the leg and uses her knew spiked knuckle glove to smack the robot. The robot slips a little and almost falls to the ground. Sonic lands on the ground and Sun lands besides him.
Sonic then notices, "Hey! You got gloves just like Knuckles."
"I know. I think this charm not only give me spiked knuckles, but also made feel really strong," Sun says.
"Cool. Let's hope it's enough to stop that thing," Sonic says.
Sun nods her head, "Right. Let's see what else I can do."
Sun then flies up in the air and towards the chest of the Egg golem. Sun then uses her Knuckles Charm to spin her arms around and begins to dig through the stone robot. The Egg Golem then begins to reach his hands towards Sun. Sonic spin dashes one arm while Bunnie flies up and blast the other one. Silver then uses his psychokinesis to paralyze the robot.
Silver says, "I got this guys, you gotta finish it right now."
"Thanks Silver!" Sun calls out."
Sonic jumps on the shoulder and says, "Come on girl, let's finish this together."
"Right," Sun nods her head.
Sun then flies to Sonic and picks him up in her arms. Then she flies up in the air.
Sun and Sonic the double spin dash down towards the robot and right through the head of the Egg Golem. They soon come out from the bottom of the robot. The next moment, the Egg Golem begins to shatter into pieces and lands on the ground close to the city. Sonic and Sun and on the ground and turn to see the broken robot.
Sonic sighs, "Phew! That was way too close."
"I know. I don't see Dr. Eggman or Glittering Sparkle with it, so they must have just send the robot to attack us," Sun says.
"Seems like it," Sally says.
"We're just glad that no one is hurt," Rotor says.
"And we stop it before it can do any damage," Sonic says.
Sun then asks, "But why did it attack?"
"That's something we do need to discuss back in HQ. We actually have an important mission waiting for us," Sally says.
Everyone nods her head agreeing to the idea. Sun is wondering what the mission is about, but follows the others back to Freedom HQ anyway and hope nothing bad happens.
In Dr. Eggman's lair, he can see the Freedom Fighters along with Sun destroyed his Egg Golem and he isn't pleased.
"That meddling girl is just as meddling as those annoying Freedom Fighters. She is really starting to test my patience," Eggman angrily says.
Arriving into the lab are Orbot and Cubot.
Orbot says, "Sir, I just received word from Glittering Sparkle. She just arrived in the Dragon Kingdom, and is meeting with the Bride of the Conquering Storm."
"She said she had trouble with this Monkey Khan, but she was able to take care of him," Cubot says.
"Excellent. Glittering Sparkle will not only carry out my orders, but if the Freedom Fighters know she's there, I'm sure she'll take care of it," Eggman says.
Just then, the robotic bug Eggman comes flying into the lair and lands on the control pad.
"Ah, my spy bug has returned," Eggman says, and picks it up gently.
He then places it on a small container and the bug places a speck of blood on it. On the screen, Eggman pulls out some of the videos it also records. It shows Sun gaining gloves similar to Knuckles and is pretty strong too. He then pulls out the other videos and files he has since his first fight against Sun.
On a different screen, it shows Sun and the clothes she is wearing.
He then grins and says, "Now, let's see what makes you so special?"
Eggman has the computer scan the blood sample he has from Sun's D.N.A.
In Freedom HQ, Sally explains to them about something important message they've received.
"What?! Glittering Sparkle is in the Dragon Kingdom and attacked Monkey Khan?!" Sonic asks shocked.
"Yes. Li-Moon said that Glittering Sparkle attacked him. Ken tried to ask her reason for being here, but she just attacked him. He tried to fight back, but she hurt him really bad," Sally says.
"That's terrible," Antoine says.
"We need to do something," Bunnie says.
"I'm already on it. Sonic, Sun, Cream and Cheese, Silver, and I will head to the Dragon Kingdom. And be sure to bring the Chaos Emeralds if needed," Sally says.
Sun, Silver, Cream, and Cheese nod their heads.
Sally then turns to Nicole and the others, "Nicole, you and the others remain here and protect the city while we're away. We don't know when Eggman is going to send one of his robots."
"Don't worry Sally, we'll take care of it," Nicole says.
Sun turns to Sally, "How are we going to get to New Mobotropolis?"
"Simple. We'll take Tails plane. The Tornado," Sonic says.
Sometime later at King Fredrick's Airfield, Sally, Cream and Cheese, and Sun are sitting in the seats of the plane. Sonic and Silver are standing on each wing.
"You guys are okay there?" Sun asks.
"Don't worry I do this all the time," Sonic says.
"I'll be fine, don't worry Sun," Silver says.
Sally says, "Alright, we're taking off," Sally says.
Sally then turns on the plane and the propeller spins around and the engine starts. Sally then flies the plane up in the sky with Sonic, Sun, and others. Their next destination… Stormtop Village of the Dragon Kingdom.
