Episode 16: Chaos Nightmare

Time has gone by in New Mobotropolis, and no one has heard anything from Dr. Eggman and Glittering Sparkle. So far, the Freedom Fighters have been facing his robots.

In fact, just outside the city, Sonic, Sun and the others are fighting Eggman's badniks right now. Sun uses her powers to destroy as many Badniks as she can. Sun uses her fire powers. Then uses her spin dash to bang into them.

Sun swifts her wrist as she shouts, "Chaos Spear!"

Sun then creates spears of Chaos Energy. The Chaos Spears hits the robots and are soon blown up. Sonic then spin dashes some of the robots and lands on the ground.

Sonic turns to Sun, and says, "Great shot, Sun."

"Thanks. Shadow has been teaching me how to control my ability to use Chaos Control," Sun says.

Sonic then says, "Behind you."

Sun turns her head to see a bird badnik behind her. The next moment, A hammer slams the robot to the ground. She looks on it to see Amy holding her Piko hammer.

"Thanks for the same, Amy," Sun says.

"No problem, but try not to get distracted, okay," Amy says.

Sun nods her head, "Okay."

Sun then activates her Knuckles Charm and punches the robots until they end up with dents on parts of their robotic parts. Bunnie shoots her bionic blaster right through one of the Badnik's chest. Sally then uses her ring blades to slash the robots into pieces and Antoine helps her out. Tails then uses a handmade blaster to fire at the badniks.

Sally turns to Sun, "How are you doing?" then Sally slashes one of the robot's arms off.

"I'm doing okay, Sun says. Then brings out her hammer and hits one of the snail badniks like a baseball.

She sighs, "Phew. I had to deal with magical creatures and wild magic at home. Of course, I did have to battle a robotic pet, but this. I have never seen so many robots in my life."

Rotor then fires a power cannon at the large badnik, "Well, I guess to say that our world and universes face different situations. You deal with magic and we deal with robots most of the time."

Sun uses her Knuckles fist and slams one of the bee badniks, "I get it. We all deal with our own problems. Makes me wonder who my friends are doing back at home, but I'm sure they're doing fine. I have faith in them that they'll keep Canterlot City safe while I'm helping you deal with Glittering Sparkle and Dr. Eggman."

Sun then activates her Sonic Charm and spin dashes another large badnik.

Sun then asks, "How many robots can a man make?"

"A lot and there's no end to it. Trust me," Sonic says.

Silver then fires his powers at a badnike and Sun slams it with her hammer.

"At least your future doesn't change every time something bad happens in this time period," Silver says.

Sun then uses her alicorn wings to make tornadoes and blast the badniks away.

She turns to Silver and says, "That's rough."

"You don't know the half of it," Tails says.

Just then, Shadow then spin dashes at one of the badniks and lands on the ground.

He then turns to Sun and the others, "How about you save the conversation after we defeated all these robots?"

Sonic, Sun, and the others blush a little, and all reply, "Right."

Sonic, Sun, and the rest of the Freedom Fighters fight against the badniks for the rest of the afternoon. After defeating the robots, Sonic, Sun, and the others head back to the city to get a good long rest.

Sun sighs, "That was a lot of work."

"Yeah. It feels that Dr. Eggman is sending more and more badniks each time. Not to mention ones that have more weapons, stronger, and dangerous."

"I think we got the idea Sonic," Sally says.

"Remind me again how you were able to deal with so many robots? Magic happens in my home world, but not as much as you having to deal with evil scientists and robot attacks," Sun replies.

"That's just how our world works," Tails says.

"Yeah. I guess you're right," Sun says.

Then turns to Shadow, "Still, thanks for teaching me how to control my Chaos Control."

"It's no trouble," Shadow says, turning his head away and trying to hide the blush on his face.

Then says, "I have to admit, you learn how to control it rather quickly. I suspect it would have taken longer for you to control it."

"I understand, but I'm kind of a fast learner. At least that's what my parents from Equestria think. Princess Celestia and Principal Celestia think the same thing," Sun says.

"I agree with them. You were able to use your magic like you're an expert," Sonic says.

Sun blushes, "I guess so. Back in Equestria, I was the top student in the school. Not just in intelligence, but also with a few sports, and especially with Magic. Like my friend, Princess Twilight, I wanted to learn everything about magic since I was little. When I used powerful magic for the first time, that's when I decided I wanted to learn about magic. I studied constantly and tried to perfect magic. When I passed my entrance exam for Princess Celestia school, it was one of the happiest days of my life."

"So wait, your ruler is also a teacher?" Sally asks.

"She is. It's a long story. In short, before, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna ruled Equestria other, until Princess Luna turned into Nightmare Moon and Celestai banished her to the moon," Sun says.

"Celestia banished her own sister?" Amy asks.

"I'm afraid so. Luna became jealous because the ponies enjoy her day while they sleep through her night. One day, she refused to lower the sun and her bitterness and jealousy turned her into Nightmare Moon. Princess Celestia used the special items called the Elements of Harmony to banish Luna to the moon. That's how a holiday called the Summer Sun Celebration started. At first, it celebrated Celesta defeating Nightmare moon, but what Twilight told me, it was a terrible reminder to Celestia," Sun explains.

"That must have been really hard on her?" Bunnie sadly asks.

"It was. However, after Nightmare Moon is freed after a thousand years of imprisonment, Twilight and her friends, used the Elements to not only defeat her, but to change her back to Luna. Since then, it became a celebration of their reunion. Time has gone by and when Twilight and I are going to rule Equestria in their place, they believed there's no need for it anymore. However, Twilight and I announced a new celebration dedicated to Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, called the Festival of the Two Sisters," Sun adds.

"That sounds nice," Rotor says.

"Oui. Creating a holiday for the royals who ruled over your nation for a long time is a wonderful decision," Antoine says.

"Thanks Antoine, it was Twilight's idea and I agree that it will help appreciate everything Celestia and Luna done over the years," Sun says.

She yawns, and says, "I'm feeling very tired after a long day of fighting robots."

"Yeah. It's nice to get some sleep for the night," Sonic says.

Later on, the sun begins to go down, and many of the stores are starting to close for the night. In the guest room, Sun takes off the cast from her room and moves it around a little. So far, she doesn't feel pain, but feels a bit of stiffness in her arm. Just then, Cream and Cheese walks into the room.

"Hello Sun," Cream happily says.

"Chao Chao," Cheese says with a smile.

"Hi Cream. Hello Cheese," Sun says.

Cream asks, "How is your arm doing?"

"It's feeling a lot better now. The doctor said it's okay for me to take the cast off tonight," Sun says.

"I'm glad you're feeling better now. I do hope we can get Ms. Rouge out of the Chaos Emerald. She's the only one of our friends who is trapped inside," Cream says.

Sun gives Cream a reassuring smile, "Don't worry Cream, we'll find a way to save Rouge and we'll find a way to stop Dr. Eggman and Glittering Sparkle before they can cause anymore trouble. However, I haven't heard from them in some time."

"I'm worried they could be planning something," Cream says, worried.

"I know. I'm worried too. If only there's a way to figure out what they're up to," Sun says.

Cream nods her head, "I agree."

"Chao," Cheese replies, flying to Sun and sits on her lap.

Cream then asks, "You don't mind if Cheese and I stay with you for the night."

"Chao," Cheese happily says.

"I don't mind at all," Sun replies with a smile.

Moments later, Sun, Cream, and Cheese are sleeping in the bed. Cream and Cheese sleep peacefully with Sun. Sun is sleeping with them, until she begins to toss and turn in her sleep. Sun grunts and groans as she is starting to gain a cold sweat as she squints her eyes.

She begins to mutter, "No… don't… don't… gi-give… give up… no…"

In Sun's dream, the girl runs through this dark abyss. She suddenly sees strange images and hears laughter and someone crying in fear.

Sun runs away as she asks herself, "What is this place? Where am I?"

Suddenly, she hears someone crying and screams, "He-help… help me…"

"Who is that?" Sun asks.

"Please, somebody help me… please help me!" A voice screams.

Sun asks herself, "Why does that voice sound family? If so who is that… the voice sounds so afraid?"

"Please… I'm scared… help me…" The voice of a girl screams and sounds like she is in pain.

Sun continues to run to find the source of fear. However, she continues to hear laughing from multiple people. Then dark purple lighting surrounds the area. Sun looks ahead to see a figure that is sitting down and holds on to her knees as the head is sitting on them. From the appearance, she can see that the person is a girl.

"Who are you… why are you afraid?" Sun asks.

So far, the girl isn't saying anything, not even a word.

Then Sun calls out, "Don't worry, I'm going. to help you!"

Sun continues to run towards the girl who is crying. Suddenly, red eyes open behind the girl causing Sun to come to a stop. The next moment, she sees the girl trapped in some dark purple gemstone in the shape of a diamond. Then two hands are reaching towards the girl trapped in the gem and her. Sun stands up and screams in shock and fright.

The next moment, Sun shoots herself up to a sitting position as she clutches her head and shuts her eyes.

Soon, she lets out a scream, "Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!"

Sun screams on the top of her lunges after waking up in shock. Cream and Cheese jump out of bed in fright. Soon, Vanilla comes running in the room in a panic. She sees Sun taking deep breaths and having some sweat coming down her face. Cream and Cheese find themselves on the floor as they see Sun heavily breathing.

Vanilla walks over and asks, "Goodness dearie, what's wrong?"

"I… I don't… I don't know. There was this black abyss… hearing mocking laughter, someone crying… and that girl trapped in a dark purple diamond… seeing red… red glowing eyes… It… it was laughing," Sun says, panicking and hovers her face.

"Goodness," Vanilla says, concern.

Cream worriedly says, "That must have been scary."

"Chao," Cheese replies.

"N-no. I sometimes have this. Sometimes when I go to bed, my powers allow me to see the memories when I'm asleep. It happened when I saw Wire Wolf, my boyfriend's dream. This… this feels much worse… I don't know who that girl is… but… it felt that she is being tormented. She was being laughed at and belittled by others and… the rest isn't clear. All except I see two glowing red eyes. One was reaching for the girl in that purple gem and the other reaching for me. I… I never felt so frightened and so many negative emotions," Sun says, freaking out and on the verge of crying.

Vanilla hugs Sun and rubs her back to comfort her, "It's okay dearie. There there."

Cream and Cheese hug Sun as well.

Cheese sadly says," Chao."

Suddenly, they hear a knock on the door.

Cream says, "I'll get it mother."

"Okay Cream," Vanilla says.

Cream leaves the room and walks down stairs. She unlocks the lock and opens the door to see there are quite a few visitors: Sonic, Shadow, Silver, Tails, Amy, Sally and Mina.

"Hello, what can I do for you?" Cream asks.

"We heard screaming from your house that woke us up. We rushed over to see what's going on," Sonic says.

Silver says, "You seem fine though. What happened?"

"It's Sun. She had an awful dream, but she said that it has something to do with her memory seeing ability," Cream says, concern.

"You mean her powers?" Amy asks.

"Yes," Cream says, nodding her head.

Sometime later, everyone gathers in the living room. Some are sitting on the couch and some sit on chairs from the kitchen. Shadow sits next to Sun who is feeling a little better now. However, Shadow can tell that Sun is still frightened from her dream. Vanilla walks to the living room from the kitchen with a tray that has a teapot, tea cups, and some cookies.

She places the tray on the table, "Here you go."

"Thank you mother," Cream says.

Tails turns to Sun and asks, "So Sun, Cream said that you experienced seeing memories of people in your sleep."

"Yes. I sometimes have different dreams of memories. In fact, some of the dreams were about the incident you had with Dr. Eggman," Sun says.

"You had dreams about us?" Amy asks.

"Yes. I think the Chaos Emerald and the Master Emerald must have contacted my geode and allowed me to see what happened. That's how I know about you being trapped inside the emeralds and how the Master Emerald shattered," Sun says.

"Hmm, so basically, your geode has been using your dreams to activate your magic, even though you haven't come in physical contact with someone. Unless it's someone you already have contact with," Sally suspects.

"I guess that makes sense," Sonic says, shrugging his shoulders.

Silver then asks, "So you really don't have any idea who you tapped into?"

"Not really, but for some reason… It feels so familiar somehow. I can't tell, but who I saw was a girl. It's like her mind is being tormented, people laughing, and she has fear and sadness… and pure anger. And the girl was trapped in some dark purple diamond. There is also dark purple electricity around the area," Sun says.

"That sounds a big scary," Amy says, feeling weary.

"It must have been a terrible nightmare," Mina says.

"It was and it was awful too. Whoever it is… it's feeling like she's in deep pain and suffering," Sun says.

"We know that person is a girl, so that's something," Sonic says.

Then Amy says, "We also know that the girl is suffering."

"And you said that the person is trapped in a Dark Purple Diamond," Mina adds.

Silver places his hand under his chin, "Now that you mention it, the Dark Purple Diamond you mention does sound familiar."

Sun opens her eyes, "You're right. And for some strange reason… I… I think I felt Chaos Energy coming from it. Negative kind."

"Negative Chaos Energy?" Shadow says to himself.

Then turns to Sun, "I know it sounds unlikely, but it could be possible. Do you think it could be that girl, Glittering Sparkle you saw… being trapped in the Dark Chaos Emerald?"

Sonic however, says, "Nah. Last I remember Glittering Sparkle has been nothing but a jerk to Sun. She seems too prideful to feel fear and sadness. Not to mention, she's arrogant, boastful, cocky, annoying, angry over silly little things, jealous, and a whole list I can name. Besides, who could she be afraid of?"

"That's not a nice thing to say," Amy sternly says.

"And besides. Just because that's how Glittering Sparkle is feeling on the outside, that doesn't mean how she feels on the inside," Sun says.

"How do you know that?" Sun asks.

"Well, some people don't want to show how they truly feel on the inside. Like my friend Wallflower, she seems fine when I'm hanging out with my friends. However, when I used my magic on her, I realized that Wallflower was lonely and felt invisible. She was also afraid that I will soon don't remember her and won't be her friend anymore. That kind of motivated her to be possessed by a Memory stone and use it to erase me and my friends' memories so we won't remember," Sun explains.

Confused, Sally asks, "That really happened?"

"Yeah. She used the stone to erase my memories of the girls and to erase the girls' memories of me," Sun says.

"But you remember now, so you got your memories back," Cream replies.

"Yes. However, it nearly cost me all my memories. Wallflower was going to use the stone to erase my friends' memories of their high school years. That will also erase their memories of each other. I let myself get hit and lost my memories. However, I ended up losing all of it," Suns says.

"You lost all your memories?" Shadow asks.

"Yes. I never told you, but I lost my memories when I first came to the human world. I saved Screwball from being hit by Rarity's family van. I survived the incident, but lost my memories. Time went by, I was in high school, and met my friends," Sun says.

"I get it. Because you lost your memories in high school, you ended up losing the memories you gained back," Sally says, realizing the story.

"Yeah. I ended up making Wallflower realize what friendship is and how much my friendship to Wallflower means to me. My other friends see that too and we were able to destroy the memory stone with help from other friends," Sun says.

Sun then notices that some of them are admired to hear Sun's story.

Amy says, "That was a beautiful story. It's no wonder you were made princess."

"And now you and your friend Princess Twilight are going to be queens," Cream happily says.

"Well, we'll still be princesses, but yeah. However, I won't be living in Equestria with Princess Twilight," Sun says.

"How come?" Mina asks.

"Because my place is in Canterlot City in the human world. Not only was I named Princess but I'm also the Protector of the human world and Guardian of the Mirror that divides Equestria and Canterlot City," Sun says.

"I think it's understandable. Your place in the human world. Almost like it's your destiny to live there," Silver says.

Sun nervously giggles, "I don't know about destiny, but it is my royal duty after all. Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Twilight, and I talked it over. The mirror will be in Princess Twilight's Castle while Princess Twilight lives in Canterlot. I'm going to be living there in a way. Who knows what else I have planned for the future."

"At least you won't be leaving your friends and family forever," Sonic says.

"I agree. You got where you are now because you lived in the Human world and made so many great friends," Amy says.

"You know. You can also use it as a clubhouse for your friends too," Sonic says.

"I don't think a club house is appropriate for a castle," Silver says.

"Maybe so, but I think it's nice to think that," Sun says.

Then Sonic asks, "Now on the subject of Glittering Sparkle. What exactly are you saying?"

"I'm saying that even though Glittering Sparkle is acting prideful, I think Glittering Sparkle has problems that are hard for her to deal with. Whatever it is, it's causing her a lot of pain and suffering," Sun says.

Sun then lets out a yawn and rubs her eyes.

"I'm guessing you're starting to feel tired, huh?" Sonic asks.

"Yeah. I'm feeling very sleepy now," Sun says.

Cream yawns and starts to feel drowsy.

"Aww, Cream is tired too," Amy says.

Mina yawns, "So am I."

"I guess it's time for all of us to head for bed for the night," Vanilla says.

"I guess you're right," Sally says.

Then turns to Sun, "Are you feeling better now?"

"Yeah. I'm feeling better. I'm glad I can talk about my life in my home world with you," Sun says.

"Yeah. It's interesting to know that you lived in two different worlds and are still able to prioritize," Tails says.

Sun blushes, "Thank you."

Mina then has an idea, "I know. Since we're here. How about we have a sleepover."

"I think it's a wonderful idea. It's very late for us to walk back and we can use some sleep," Sun says.

Sometime later, Sun, Sonic, and the others are sleeping in the guest room. Sun, Cream and Cheese are sleeping on the bed and everyone else is sleeping on the floor covered in blankets and their heads on pillows. Everyone is sleeping peacefully.

In Sun's dream, she sees a Dark Purple Diamond. She soon sees Glittering Sparkle inside who is hugging her knees and is crying in fear and sadness. Sun realizes that Glittering Sparkle might be in big trouble, question is… what.
