Author: Howdy! I'm back for more. Please, excuse me for my short "review" on the last part on the last chapter, I was about to leave and since I'm almost finish with the chapter as well I had to make it short. Also the reason I hurried that part is because we watched Avengers: Infinity War (^.^")
It really does show some actions and drama. But anyway, lets go on to the story shall we? Thanks for the reviews by the way. It really helps alot for the courage to continue :3 Onwards to the story (-._-.)/
Chapter 2: Friendship is the Beginning
Sonic, Silver, and Shadow waited on the balcony. They looked on to the view from above since Canterlot is located on the side of the mountain. They remind theirselves of how the beautiful the view is. Sonic and Silver were actually the ones who describe the beauty, Shadow is just... closing his eyes and feeling the wind. As they enjoy the view, Celestia came by.
"How's the view boys?" Celestia asks,
"It's amazing princess... It just felt like Mobius..." Sonic said as he looked at Celestia and then to the view.
"Yeah... but less buildings and chaos..." Silver added.
"Hmph... It's nice." Shadow commented.
"I've contact Twilight and her friends to come in Canterlot for your aid." Celestia said as she walked closer to see the view aswell.
She closed her eyes and let the wind blow her colorful hair, "I always enjoy the sweet winds in the morning."
"Yeah, I always felt that... wind blowing to my face when I'm running with freedom." Sonic said as he closed his eyes and did feel the wind.
Silver then wondered and looked at Celestia, "Princess, I do beg your pardon, but is there a power here that has the same feats of the Chaos Emeralds?"
"Oh? And why did you ask?" Celestia wondered as well.
"It's just that... I can feel some energy going around here. Something amazing and peaceful." Silver thought of it.
"You must be talking about the Elements of Harmony." Celestia said, Shadow's eyes opened from the word Harmony as it somehow contradicts the emeralds.
"Elements of what now?" Sonic didn't quite understand.
"The Elements of Harmony are six supernatural artifacts representing the aspects of harmony. It is known for it's protection and powerful magic ever known to anthroponydom. Although, the Elements of Harmony can't be used by anyone else, it must be in the corresponding traits of the wielder." Celestia said as Silver then thought of it.
"What do you mean princess, 'must be in the corresponding traits of the wielder'?" Silver asks.
"Well young one, the Elements of Harmony are six artifacts, each shows an aspects of harmony. Loyalty, Honesty, Kindness, Generosity, and Laughter." Celestia said.
"But their only five, what's the sixth?" Sonic wondered.
"Well, the most powerful and elusive of all other elements, magic." Celestia said though this made the Sonic and Silver confused.
"Why does 'magic' is the powerful element?" Silver thought of it.
"Yeah, and who can possess that trait?" Sonic thought as well.
"Hmm, Twilight Sparkle is now the wielder of the Element of Magic. Why don't you ask her for the information about it." Celestia said as Sonic and Silver looked at each other and back to Celestia.
Before anyone could talk, Shadow quickly asks, "Does the Elements of Harmony can perform an attack that destroys chaos?"
Celestia then got surprise as she didn't almost felt Shadow's existence, and as soon she looked at him she sighed. "I'm afraid not. The Elements of Harmony is unlike the Emeralds. It doesn't give strength nor power. It's just an artifact that banishes or imprisons anyone for it's justice to restore peace and harmony."
"So that is why they're called the Elements of Harmony." Sonic said as he put his fingers in his chin in understanding.
"Yes, and the Elements of Harmony is the only weapon to protect Equestria from harm and chaos." Celestia added.
"Well, in that case, we atleast a weapon to beat Mephiles." Silver said,
"Yeah we do!" Sonic said in excitement.
Shadow was just leaning to wall as he noticed someone from behind of the back door. He looked to see who was it as he saw Luna wandering the halls. He approached her and wondered of what she is doing.
"Princess." Shadow said as she looked at him.
"Oh Shadow, what can I do for you?" Luna asked the black hedgehog.
"I was wandering. Do you ever felt being the weak one?" With that question. Luna felt unease and got relate to the question.
"Why did you ask to me that?" She slowly backs away seeing this made Shadow noticed.
"It's nothing. You have a sister that controls the sun. And you control the moon, do you ever felt alone by no one enjoying your night?" Shadow's question are quite relatable to Luna's side.
"H-How did you know my past?" Luna backs away more as Shadow walked closer.
"I notice everything. You have a dark past like I did. I know it because it's obvious to be jealous in a way." Shadow said as he remembered the times he was beaten by Sonic.
"You have a dark past? We have something in common then." Luna said as she then returned to normal, "But why did you ask me Shadow?"
"If you're the princess of the night. You can enter dreams right?" Shadow just asked her.
"Yes, I can do that, but still why?" Luna wondered.
"I want you to remove a nightmare in my mind that kept waking me up in the middle of the night." Shadow said that made Luna wondered 'why.'
She knew that Shadow is the strongest one when it comes to being emotional just judging from his seriousness, but he just open up to her like it's no big deal. She wondered that if his nightmare has something to do it. She also remembered the actual nightmare, her past. No one has ever asked her about removing a nightmare so she is unsure that it will be successful.
"I don't know if that is possible Shadow. I never done something like that." Luna said as Shadow looked down, "I'm sorry Shadow... please forgive m-"
"No. It's okay, and it's alright if you can't. I just assured you that you can do it." Shadow said... as he walked off.
As soon he walks away from the halls, Shadow then remembered the reason why wakes up in the middle of the night. He remembers Maria's death. Everything about her made Shadow weak, and he always regret his failure of saving her. He never talk about it, not even to Rouge. He always keep it in his mind that he wants to forget how weak he can be. But you know Shadow, he never tell his pain. The actual pain.
As Shadow returned to the balcony, he noticed that he was been waiting by the two.
"Shadow where have you been?" Sonic asked.
"It's none of your business faker." Shadow said.
"Well, now that you're here. Celestia told us about the girls arriving here. Act natural will you, because you know, first impressions?" Silver nudges Shadow only making him growl and Silver slowly backs away.
"We don't have time to greet them, we have to find those emeralds now." Shadow said though he was stopped by Sonic.
"Shadow, we all do need to beat Mephiles but we need these girls to help us out, not to mention, if the three of us can't beat our friends, what are the chances beating Mephiles." Sonic said.
"Then we go straight to Mephiles, we have the chaos emeralds to turn in our super state and beat the hell out of him." Shadow replied.
"I don't know Shadow, but us three won't have enough time to do that, remember that the Chaos emeralds has only a certain amount of time we can use. And even we defeated Mephiles, Eggman's army will destroy us after we run out of stamina beating Mephiles." Silver proclaimed.
"Hmph... I hate to admit it... but you're right." Shadow said as he crossed his arms and closed his eyes.
Sonic and Silver looked at each other in excitement and smiled knowing that they made Shadow wrong. "But." They then quickly turned their look to Shadow.
"We just need them to find the emeralds. Nothing more, nothing less." Shadow said as both of them nodded.
As they all agreed to not make much of interactions, Celestia then came in to inform them the visit of the girls.
"Hello boys, the girls have arrived now at Canterlot, feel free to wait them on the entrance." Celestia said.
"Thank you Princess." Silver said as he half bowed, Celestia smiled and walks away.
"We better wait for them at the entrance." Sonic suggested.
"Agreed, the faster we meet them, the faster this finish." Shadow said as they all nodded and walked to the entrance.
The trio then waited for the mane 6 to walked in, as Celestia then walked outside of the castle.
"Huh, it's taking them quite awhile." Sonic said impatiently.
"Hm, well it's only a matter of time they get here." Silver thought of it.
"Oh here they are." Celestia said as she waved, the boys looked at a group of girls.
One of them is a color orange female, she has a golden ponytail style hair and a tail, with a cowboy hat and she wears a western red polo shirt. Another one is a pink one, she has a pink poofy hair and a poofy tail, and she wears a light blue hoodie with balloon symbols on the chest. Next one is a white one, she has a purple curled hair and a curly tail, she wears a light blue dress. Next one is a yellowish one, she has a bright pink curved hair and a tail, she wears a white dress. Next one is a cyan one, she has a hair of a rainbow with the same as the tail, she wears a open sleeve shirt with a black shirt inside. This one is a lavender one, she has a dark blue hair with bangs and a tail with also a purple streak, and she wears a blue shirt.
The lavender Alicorn flew and hugged Celestia, "Princess Celestia!"
"Oh my, Twilight... my former student how was it been." Celestia asked the anthropony.
"You're Twilight? Princess Twilight Sparkle?" Silver wondered, as the lavender alicorn looked at them and nodded, "Yes, I am."
Sonic and Silver bowed down though Shadow didn't care. The alicorn, Twilight Sparkle, became unease to the situation.
"Uhhh, please, please, you don't have to do that. Just call me by my name, I'm not used to being called a princess and all the bowing and stuff hehe.." She said as she motioned her hands to the hedgehogs to stand up.
They followed and this made Twilight confused, she then looked at Celestia and asked, "Princess who are they? And what about the portal?"
Before Celestia could talk, Sonic kicked in, "We are the ones who came from the portal, we need your help around at Equestria."
"And yes, we are from an another world." Silver added.
Twilight's eyes widen and got closer to the two hedgehogs' faces. "You guys are?! That's amazing, I wanna know everything about your culture!" Twilight said as she is all giddy and excited, although upon on realization, she backed away and laugh nervously, "Hehe, sorry!"
Silver didn't mind it all. But for Sonic, something made him remember something. Someone who is giddy and excited to know everything and study them. His best friend Tails. Sonic was just surprised and just kept staring on for Twilight, until they heard more noises coming.
"Twilight hold up!" The orange one said,
"Yeah! You know carrying Rarity's bag are quite heavy you know!" The cyan pegasi said as she tried to carry shopping bags.
"Becareful with that Rainbow Dash, I just bought them recently and I don't want it to be ruin." The white one ordered the rainbow haired girl.
"Hey look! Someone is with princess!" The pink one yelled one.
"Sorry for making ya'll waiting, Rarity had to buy these clothes." The cowboy girl said as she fix the position of her hat and glared at the white one.
"Well Applejack, I have to buy some, we never been to Canterlot quite awhile now and I am also running out of ribbons!" She replied with a drama accent.
"Girls. I like you to meet our new guests from another world." Celestia said as she stopped the argument of the two.
"Hi!" Sonic waved and Silver slightly waved and as for Shadow, he just crossing his arms.
"Alright then, who likes to greet first?" Celestia wondered.
"Well, I'll go then, ehem, you probably know me but I am Twilight Sparkle, yes I am princess but please call me by my name." She said with a warmth smile.
"Howdy! The name's Applejack." The cowboy girl said with tilting her hat in introduction.
"Hi! My name is Pinkie Pie! and yes I do love parties! Do you love parties do you do you?" The pink one said as she bounce around Sonic and Silver.
"Y-Yeah." Sonic nervously answered.
"S-Sure we do." Silver did too.
"Pardon her, but she is always like this... excitedly. My name is Rarity darlings." The white one said with a charm.
"M-My name is... Fluttershy..." The yellowish one said? Or whisper actually as she is hiding on Applejack's back.
"Ah, her name is Fluttershy, and you know her in her name." Applejack said.
"Noted." Sonic said.
"And I'm Rainbow Dash! I'm the fastest flyer in whole Equestria!" The cyan said as she flew in loops.
"Fastest you say?" Sonic then wondered about it.
"Yeah, you think you're faster than me.. uhh..." Rainbow couldn't finish since she doesn't know about their names.
"Right. My name is Sonic. Sonic the Hedgehog! I'm the world's fastest hedgehog!" Sonic said with his signature smirk.
"Right! You think you're faster than me Sonic?" Rainbow said as she got closer to Sonic's face.
"Why don't we find out..." Sonic said as Shadow coughed in the background.
Sonic looked at Shadow and he remembered that they should focus on getting the chaos emerald. Applejack then pulled Rainbow's tail and drag her beside her. "Whoa! Hey!"
"Sorry bout that, Rainbow is kinda bragger sometimes." Applejack said as she tried to assured the group.
Rainbow then got surprised to what she is called by, "I'm not a bragger! Well, sometimes..."
Silver then came next to talk, "Hello, my name is Silver. Silver the Hedgehog, and I am from the future of Sonic's timeline." he finished with a bow, "It's nice to meet you all."
"Ohhh, fancy." Rarity said as it made Silver shivered and blushed as he couldn't believe that is fancy way.
"And you are?" Twilight points out at Shadow.
Shadow growled, and Sonic went to her side, "Don't ask Shadow that way, he always introduce himself in with no one asking." Sonic whispers, "Oh, okay." Twilight replied.
"My name is Shadow, Shadow the Hedgehog. And I am known for what they call the Ultimate Lifeform." Shadow said as the girls then looked bit scared from Shadow's tone.
"Alright then! Nice to meet you Sonic, Silver, and Shadow. Welcome to Equestria!" Twilight yelled as she fly bit high in excitement though again upon on realization, she got embarrassed and flew down to the ground.
"Hehe..." Sonic chuckled and thought, "She does remind me of Tails... smart and excited, and maybe clumsy, though meeting Cosmos wasn't surprise me to see Tails not interested in her kind... not gonna lie, she is does look perfect as a princess..."
Sonic said as he looked at Twilight while the group laughed at her and Silver then noticed this. He was about to tease him again, but Sonic looked down and his smiled turned upside down. Silver placed his hands on Sonic's shoulder.
"Don't worry Sonic. We'll save Mobius." He said as Sonic nodded.
Author: And that's it for this chapter, not a whole lot of progress, just character development. But don't worry, it's going to be amazing on the next runs. As I will say, don't judge the story being all boring and everything yet, since they just got to Equestria. Even Shadow mentioned about "Get the emeralds" as a priority, we know that won't happen since this is gonna be a long story. And when it comes to shipping aswell, let's say I'll make a part where its like a Ship War drama kinda like that will happen. Anyways, that's all for me, Moonlight here! Over and Out!
