Episode 24: Friendship and Chaos Part 1
In the world of Equestria in Canterlot, all the ponies are going around with their everyday lives. They are either working, playing, going to school, and having fun with friends and family. In Canterlot, there is an important meeting with Princess Twilight and her friends, along with Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and Princess Cadence. Princess Twilight explains to the other princesses about Sun's situation.
"And Sun is still gone in this other world?" Celestia asks.
"Yes. The girls said that she's been gone for almost a whole month now," Princess Twilight says.
"I'm worried. Being gone for this long in another world without knowing of her well being. I can't help but worry about this," Cadence says.
"I must agree. We must find a way to reach this world the young rabbit is in and bring Sun back home," Luna says.
"How in the hay are we going to do that?" Applejack asks.
"Well we gotta find something. Our counterparts are worried sick right now, and they're still trying to be strong for her," Rainbow says.
"It must be hard for them. They must be very worried and they miss her a lot," Fluttershy says.
Suddenly, Pinkie's tail begins to twitch, harder and faster than normal.
Pinkie begins to panic, "My tail's twitching. Faster and harder than usual!"
"Something about to fall?" Rarity asks.
"More long a lot of things," Pinkie says.
"I'm sure whatever it's going to fall, we can handle it," Twilight says.
Suddenly, Pinkie's back legs begin to buck like crazy.
"What does that mean?" Spike asks.
"It means a vortex from another world is opening," Pinkie says.
"A vortex? That will be one of the weirdest things I've seen," Rarity replies.
Suddenly they begin to hear pony panicking and screaming. Confused, Princess Twilight and the rest hurry outside of the castle to see a strange purple vortex is opening up from above and ten feet above ground.
"Pinkie sense strikes again," Spike comments.
Just then, multiple creatures fall out of the portal. Then a tall man along with two small machines fall on the pile. Finally, as black and red hedgehog lands on the top and holds a familiar alicorn who is sleeping in his arms.
Amy groans, "My head hurts."
"That was an unpleasant landing," Julie-Su comments.
Vector shouts, "Charmy! Get off of my nose!"
"Hey it's not my fault!" Charmy whines.
"Will you all get off of me!" Eggman shouts.
"I think you deserve to be flatten," Sonic says.
Princess Twilight and the others blink their eyes with confused looks.
"What's up with them?" Rainbow asks.
"I have no idea," Applejack answers.
Sonic turns his head and exclaims, "What in the?! Sun?!"
Shadow looks down and is shocked to see he is not holding a human girl anymore, but a pony that seems to have her appearance, even the pony ears, alicorn wings, and tail.
"S-Sun?" Shadow says, stunned.
"When Sun said she was a pony, she wasn't kidding," Tails says.
Still confused to see the pile, Princess Twilight notices Sun in the black hedgehog's arms. Princess Twilight gasps and uses her magic to have the hedgehog and the unconscious pony teleport in front of them. Before the others can react, Shadow steps back and has Sun clutch in his arms.
"Hey! What are you doing?! You better have a good explanation for this!" Rainbow exclaims.
Before Rainbow can attack, Fluttershy holds her hoof out, "Wait."
Fluttershy walks over as Shadow continues to glare at Fluttershy, but it's not bothering her.
Fluttershy says, "We're sorry for the sudden teleport, but you have our friend in your arms. Don't worry, we won't hurt you or any of your friends."
Shadow stares at Fluttershy and actually eases up a little to see the honesty in her eyes.
Shadow asks, "And you all are sure you can help her? She's gone through an… awful ordeal."
"Wow! Way to get to the point Shadow," Sonic's voice says.
Shadow turns his head to see Sonic and the others are able to get up. Vector, Espio, Charmy, and Mighty are making sure Eggman and his robots don't run off. Just then, Cheese flies to Princess Twilight with a smile.
Princess Twilight smiles, "Cheese. I didn't know you were here. It's good to see you again."
"Chao Chao," Cheese happily says.
"So you're the Princess Twilight Sun and Cheese told us about," Cream says.
"Yes. I'm assuming you're Cream. Sun told me a bit about you in the journal. You look so cute," Princess Twilight says.
Cream blushes, "Thank you."
Shadow sternly says, "Can we stop with the discussion and get Sun somewhere where she can heal. Also, we need to warn you. A Great evil will be arriving here and will rule over your world if you don't act now."
"What is this great evil you speak off?" Princess Luna asks.
Celestia says, "We'll discuss this in Canterlot Castle after we get Sun treated."
"Thank you ma'am. Are you a princess too, you and the others look so beautiful and you're wearing crowns?" Amy asks.
"We are to be exact. We'll explain everything in the castle," Celestia says.
Pinkie asks, "Can I have a party for our new friends?"
"I don't think now is the time for a party, but you can help bring some food to our guests. Applejack, can you help too," Twilight says.
"Sure thing," Applejack says.
Twilight then turns to Sonic and the others, "I hope you can tell us the whole story. We were so worried about Sun since she disappeared."
"It's understandable. Sun really misses you too, and will be glad to be back if Mag Melia isn't going to cause trouble here," Sonic says.
"Mag Melia?" Princess Twilight says, confused.
"Long story," Sonic says.
"Let's hurry," Princess Twilight says.
Eggman steps forward, "Yes yes… let's get this over with."
Sonic and the others gasp in shock, even his robots are shocked.
"What? What?" Eggman asks.
"Uh boss. You might want to see this," Orbot says, showing him a mirror.
Eggman looks at the mirror to see his reflection. He notices something different. He finds his reflection is a pony too, his muzzle is red. He has an orange mane, tail, and still has his mustache. He also has the same clothes, but in pony form.
Eggman screams, "AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!"
Sometime later, everyone is gathered in a large meeting room. Sun has been treated and is placed in one of the castle rooms. Sonic, Sally, and the others explain the situation. Of course, they make sure Dr. Eggman and his robots are staying put until further notice. Of course, even as a pony, Dr. Eggman is still his original self. After their finish, what is about to happen, what has happened to Sun since she entered Mobius is indeed a shock.
"Whoa! That was intense! Sun must have been strong and has a strong spirit to be able to handle that mess," Rainbow says, shocked.
"Rainbow. Sun was also hurt and received actually painful injuries from it. It may sound amazing, but she was badly hurt," Applejack says
"The poor poor darling. She was trapped in that world with so many ruffians," Rarity says.
"Ruffians is an understatement, especially for Eggman and Mag Melia," Knuckles says.
Pinkie then hops to Blaze and Sally, "I'm amazing to hear that you're princesses too. Sun is lucky to make so many new friends."
"We're glad to know that Sun has been doing fine, despite receiving terrible injuries while in the world, especially with Mag Melia. However, I'm afraid to say that Sun's magic is almost completely drained… even her geode and that bracelet you explained almost lost most of their powers," Celestia says.
"No wonder, after what Mag Melia put her through," Tails says.
"No kidding," Sonic replies.
"Question is: what are we going to do when she shows up?" Espio asks.
"I'm sure we'll figure this out. We can only hope that Sun wakes up soon," Celestia says.
Just then, a nurse walks in and says, "Princess, Princess Sun has finally awakened."
The others become surprised and yet relieved. In fact, Princess Twilight is actually going to cry in relief.
In the Castle Suit, Sun is laying down in bed with her eyes halfway open. She then sits up and feels a daze. She looks at her hands to see there are hooves. She then touches her face, to feel her nose, but is now a muzzle. Sun finally turns her head to see a mirror close by and finds her pony form in the reflection.
Sun thinks, "That's… right… Mag Melia tossed us all in… Equestria… so it's natural that I changed back into a pony."
Sun groans and touches her head, "I feel like I was rammed into a steel wall or something. Mag Melia, used that machine… and…"
Before she can think even further, the door opens to the room and Princess Twilight is the first to rush in.
She lets out a happy scream, "Sun."
She hops on the bed and gives Sun a big hug. Then begins to say as tears fall from her face., "Oh Sun, I was so worried. When the girls told me what happened, I've been worried if you were hurt or not. When your friends from the other world told me what you've been through… I… I wish I could have helped you."
Sun is a bit surprised, but she shows a calm smile and tears begin to fall from her face. Then she wraps her hooves around Princess Twilight and gives her a hug as well.
Sun says, "I know. You were able to do your best. I'm so glad to see you again."
Sonic and the others can't help, but smile to see Sun happy to see one of her friends again and they both give each other warm hugs.
Sometime after that, everyone remains in the room as more snacks are brought in, especially for Sun. Sun also has to explain her side to the story. The girls, even the princesses are shocked to hear that Sun has received injuries that are hard to imagine.
"I still can't believe that you were able to withstand this Mag Melia's attack! How cool is this!" Rainbow says.
"That's what I think," Sonic says.
Sonic and Rainbow fist bump with smiles.
Sun, Twilight, and Sally sigh, "Somethings never change."
Then the three begin laughing.
Amy crosses her arms with a stern look and turns her head away with a huff.
Eggman says, "As much as I like to break the happy reunion…!"
Then demands, "Why am I a horse?"
"Eggman? You're a pony?" Sun asks, confused.
"I know I'm a pony! What kind of world that turns people into ponies!" Eggman screams in anger."
"How come the rest of us aren't ponies?" Cubot asks.
"Well, that's kind of how the order works. Since mobians are similar to the creatures in Equestria, they didn't change. However, no home lives in Equestria and one of the main dominance of this world are ponies. So that's why you turned into a pony," Sun says.
Eggman crosses his hooves and mutters, "I can't believe that I'm some little kiddie little girl's character from a tv show. Why am I…"
Suddenly, there is a knock on the door. Entering the room, is one of the royal guards.
He announces, "Princess Celestia, Princess Sun's family have arrived."
"My family?" Sun says, confused.
Running into the room are two young ponies. They happily laugh and jump on the bed.
"Rocky. Sunshine. It's great to see you," Sun happily says.
"Hey sis. How are you doing?" Rocky asks.
"I'm feeling better," Sun says with a smile.
Just then, two young adult ponies and two grown ponies walk in that make Sun very happy.
"Mom? Dad? Scarlet? Rosemary?" Sun says, surprised.
Sun's mom hurries over and asks, "Sweetie are you alright? Are you hurt?"
"I'm… okay. Sort of," Sun says, sounding a bit sad.
"You look a bit pale sis, are you sure you're feeling alright?" Scarlet asks.
"So this is your family?" Sonic asks.
Sun's family turns around to notice the multiple different creatures in the room. Since the princesses are with them, they figure that they're friendly.
Rosemary asks, "Uh Sun, who are these beings?"
"Wow! Look at them all," Rocky says, curiously.
"The cat looks so pretty," Sunshine happily says, that causes Blaze to blush.
Sun says, "Guys. These are my family. My father, Phoenix Dawn. My mother, Sun Stone. Scarlet Clef is the eldest. Rosemary is the second eldest. I'm the third. Rocky's the fourth, and Sunshine the last."
Then introduces, "Mom. Dad. Guys. These are my friends from a world called Mobius. The Freedom Fighters: Sonic, Tails, Amy, Cream and her Chao, Cheese, Princess Sally, Rotor, Bunnie, and Antoine. There are the Chaotix: Knuckles, Julie-Su, Vector, Espio, Charmy, Saffron, Mighty, and Ray. Shadow and Rouge are G.U.N agents. Silver who is a physic time traveler, and Blaze, she's a princess from a different dimension."
"Wow! You sure made a lot of friends," Sun Stone says.
"I must agree. And I thought you had plenty of friends before," Phoenix says.
"Yes. And I love making so many friends," Sun says.
"Hey! What about me?!" Eggman screams.
Knuckles says, "You don't count. Eggman and either are Orbot and Cubot."
"Hey!" Orbot and Cubot angrily says.
"Calm down guys, we'll have much bigger worries," Sun says.
"Why's that?" Scarlet asks.
Still sad, Sun says, "Because. I… I lost my magic."
Sun then jumps off the bed and turns around. Sun's family gasp in shock to see something missing on Sun's flank. She doesn't have a cutie mark.
"Sun… your cutie mark," Rosemary says, shocked.
"I was afraid of this. Sun has indeed lost most of her magic," Luna says.
"But… How did this happen?" Scarlet asks.
"Mag Melia… She was named Glittering Sparkle who was my classmate. Her resentment towards me and a gem called the Dark Chaos Emerald with Dark Chaos Energy corrupted her and transformed her into some kind of armored warrior… more like a monster," Sun says, worried.
"She used this awful machine called the Egg Grapes to drain her powers and magic," Amy angrily says.
Sally turns to Princess Celestia, "Princess Celestia. Do you know how we can help Sun regain her magic? She's the only one who can stop Mag Melia."
"At least that what Silver said," Vector replies.
"Not only that, we need to find a way to get the Chaos Emeralds back, but they're still in Mobius inside the Egg Grapes," Silver says.
"Well get gotta do something," Applejack says.
Suddenly, loud thunder creates a loud boom. Fluttershy yelps in fright and quickly hides under the bed. Cream, Cheese, Ray, Charmy, and Saffron do the same.
"What was that?" Mighty asks.
"It sounded like thunder," Pinkie says.
"It's impossible. We're not expecting a thunderstorm until next week," Rainbow says.
"Why do you say that?" Rouge asks.
Sun says, "The weather in Equestria doesn't work the same as Mobius and in the world I'm living in. In Equestria, the weather is manually made at a water factory in Cloudsdale."
"Weather being made in a factory? That's new," Bunnie says.
"If I can change weather, I would make it sunny all day long," Sonic says.
"Now it's not the time to worry about the weather," Sally says.
Soon, they begin to hear panicking and screaming coming from outside. Just then, two of the unicorn guards hurry into the room.
One of the unicorn guards says, "Your highness, a strange vortex has opened from above the city and dark creatures are falling out of it."
Everyone hurries out of the suit to see the large dark purple vortex like the guard says. They also see creatures that are familiar to Sun, Sonic, and the rest of the Mobians.
"It's the Dark Chaos Creatures from before," Silver says.
"And that means Mag Melia can't be far behind," Mighty says.
Sun turns to Princess Celestia, "Princess, can you and Luna create a protective shield to send them away?"
Princess Celestia and Princess Luna combine their horns together and combine their magic together. They soon send a beam of magic over the city and create a protective shield around it. Suddenly, a powerful dark purple beam zaps from the vortex and hits the protective shield. The next moment, the protective shield shatters to pieces. Soon, the group gasps in shock.
"How can this be?" Luna asks.
"Our shield has been destroyed," Celestia says, shocked.
Blaze then stands on the railing of the balcony, "Be ready, I sense a strong negative energy coming out of the vortex."
Everyone and everybody looks up to see a being coming out of the vortex. Soon, a Mag Melia flies through the vortex that has a terrifying armor and mask that has burning glowing eyes. The Dark Chaos Emerald glows around the chest and there isn't a crack at all. She is holding Sun's medallion and is surrounded by Chaos Emerald as she stands on the Master Emerald.
Then Mag Melia, "Citizens of Equestria! Prepare to meet your downfall from Mag Melia!"
Still on the balcony, the ponies, and Mobians are shocked to see Mag Melia and her Dark Chaos Creatures are invading Canterlot. The Dark Chaos Creatures land on the ground and begin to attack. The ponies of Canterlot run away in fear.
Mag Melia commands, "Capture the ponies! And bring them all to me! I don't care if you destroy any of the buildings! Bring them to me!"
The Dark Chaos Creatures do as Mag Melia command and begin to capture the ponies and other creatures across Canterlot. Mag Melia turns her head to see Sun and all her friends. She then floats down to the balcony where Sun and all her friends are.
"Hello Sun, I must thank you for 'giving' me your powers. You have made me more powerful than I can imagine," Mag Melia says.
Knuckles shouts in anger, "She didn't give them to you… you stole her powers! And you did the same thing with the Chaos Emeralds and the Master Emerald!"
"Oh, don't get all red Knucklehead. You're starting to reveal your true colors," Mag Melia remarks.
Knuckles grits his teeth in anger, "When I get my hands on you… you conniving…"
Rouge and Julie-Su grab Knuckles before he can attack her.
"Calm down Knuckles," Julie-Su says.
Rainbow says, "You're going to pay for what you did!"
Rainbow then tries to attack, but Princess Twilight catches her with her magic.
"Rainbow, you need to calm down too," Princess Twilight says.
Mag Melia laughs, "You all think you can stop me! Think again!"
Mag Melia raises her hands to create magical Chaos Energy from her hands. Then fires at the group of friends.
Rainbow screams, "Hit the deck!"
Everyone hurries back in the castle before the beam of light can destroy it.
Sonic opens the door and shouts, "Everyone this way!"
The ponies and Mobians hurry out of the room. Eggman struggles as he tries to run on his new pony legs, but is able to exit the room.
Sun calls out, "Fluttershy! Guys! Come on!"
Fluttershy and the young ones hurry out from under the bed and hurry outside the room. Sun nods her head to Sonic and rush out of the room. Sonic closes the door and rush beside them.
Mag Melia laughs, "You think you can get away from me that easily."
Mag Melia then flies through the door and chases after the ponies and mobians. Everyone hurries down the hall and down the stairs to the hall where the color designed glass windows are. They soon find themselves in the throne room. Applejack, Rainbow, Mighty, Knuckles, and Vector close the door and make sure it's locked.
"That door won't hold her back for long," Sally says.
"But there's no place to hide," Amy says.
"Not quite,"Luna says.
Princess Celestia and Princess Luna light up their horns and hit the thrones. Just then, both of the floors under the throne open from side to side. Everyone looks down to see stairs under it.
"Woah! I never knew this was here," Rainbow says.
Fluttershy worriedly says, "It's dark and scary in there."
"It's our only way to ditch Mag Melia. Let's head down the secret passage and get out of here," Sonic says.
Everyone begins to walk down the stairs as fast as they can. Sun, Princess Twilight, and Princess Celestia escort everyone into the secret hideaway. Sun, Princess Twilight, and Princess Celestia are the last to get inside. Everyone walks down the secret staircase as they walk down the staircase. Fluttershy, Saffron, Cream, and Cheese are scared. Luckily, Twilight and Rarity use their horns to create light. Soon, they all are in a secret chamber under the castle.
"We need to get the Chaos Emeralds and the Master Emerald away from her," Knuckles says.
"We also need to get Sun's medallion away from her too," Princess Twilight says.
Sun turns to Eggman, "Dr. Eggman, you created that Dark Chaos Emerald. Do you have any idea how to shut it down or something?"
"Uh, I usually create things that don't require an off switch or anything of the sort. However, I was able to discover that there is only one back up plan in case the Egg Grape idea doesn't work," Eggman says.
"What's that?" Sun asks.
"You," Eggman says, pointing to Sun.
Confused, Sun asks, "Me? But… How can I be a backup?"
Eggman rubs his hooves together, "I kind of took your D.N.A during one of my robot attacks and has been studying your magic and power during your time on Mobius."
"You what?!" Shadow angrily asks, glaring at Eggman.
Eggman says, "Moving right along. After studying her D.N.A and the actions my spy bots have been detecting, I conclude that Sun has a strong Chaos Force that is similar to when Sonic, Shadow, Knuckles, and Silver activate their super forms. From what you explained, your little pony princess friend can counteract the Dark Chaos Emerald's power. If it's strong enough, then you can destroy it. And free the ungrateful girl who dares to defy me."
Sonic glares at Eggman, "Hey Egghead! Let's not forget that you're the one who created that Dark Chaos Emerald and plan to use the Chaos Emerald and the Master Emerald."
"Let's not forget that you were going to double cross Glittering Sparkle when she's Mag Melia and drain it using the Egg Grapes," Silver says.
Rainbow angrily glares at Eggman, "So you're the one who started this mess!"
"Quit pointing fingers… uh hooves. Who can really say who's really at fault?" Eggman replies.
Cubot raises his hand, "It's your fault boss."
"I'm afraid he's right," Orbot says.
Eggman groans, "Fine fine. I get it. Making the Dark Chaos Emerald was a mistake… Maybe a big one."
"Maybe?! Mobius, Equestira, and Canterlot City are going to be destroyed if we don't do something!" Knuckles angrily says.
Sun turns to Princess Celestia, "Princess, isn't there… Anything we can do to stop her?"
"But what else can we do? There are so many Dark Chaos Creatures and they're already starting to spread across Equestria, Canterlot City, and Mobius," Rarity says.
Sun looks down, "I know… it does seem like it's hopeless. Mag Melia has stolen my magic, my powers and is doing to destroy our homes. But still…"
Sun looks up with determination and tears coming from her eyes, "I can't just give up… I know… that it seems like there's nothing, but we need to do something. Our homes… our family… our friends… They depend on us who remain to stand up and fight against her. Not only that, but Glittering Sparkle is also suffering within that emerald, and I'm the only one who can free her from it… I won't stop until I save her."
Unknown to Sun, the charms on her bracelet begin to show dim glows. Everyone looks at Sun looking surprised. Sun knows that there might be no hope of saving their worlds, but Sun is refusing to give up. She wants to save everyone she loves, and Glittering Sparkle, despite everything she has done.
Sonic smiles and says, "Well then, there's nothing we can do to stop you. I'm with you all the way."
"I'll help too. After all," Shadow says.
He then shows a smile, "I made a promise to Maria to protect the planet she loves. And you made a promise to return to your friends in Canterlot City. We both have promises that we need to fulfill and I'll help you do just that."
"Thanks Shadow," Sun says with a smile.
Amy says, "You can count me in."
"Me too," Tails says.
"Don't forget about us," Knuckles says.
"And the Freedom Fighters are behind you," Sally says.
Princess Twilight says, "You can count on us as well."
"And so will we," Phoenix Dawn says.
"We'll be there to help whenever we can. However, we think we know a way to help you gain some magic," Princess Celestia says.
"You mean…" Princess Twilight asks.
Princess Celestia nods her head causing Princess Twilight's eyes to open wide in shock.
"Indeed, it seems to be the only way, since you have to be the one to ultimately defeat her," Princess Luna says.
"We were only able to perform this once. If only by making this sacrifice that Equestria and the lands beyond it might be saved," Princess Celestia says.
She then answers, "We must relinquish our magic and transfer them to you, so that you can stop Mag Melia, before she destroys Equestria and the world beyond."
Sun gasps in shock.
