After a few days, everyone was just either relaxing or working. Sonic and Knuckles were repairing the barn, after the incident between Rainbow Dash and Sonic in the previous chapter. Knuckles never forgave Rainbow Dash about her "transportation" to the Apple Farm, but has another thing in his mind: Applejack. Sonic noticed the awe look on Knux's face.

Sonic: What are you thinking about?

Knuckles: What are you talking about?

Sonic: Every time you make that face, you're thinking about something...or someone, in your case.

Knuckles: WHAT? That's not true!

Sonic: Then, why were you hitting on Applejack? Give it a rest, man. She's not your type.

Knuckles: Actually, I like the cowboy ages, so buzz off!

Sonic: In case you've forgotten, you already have a girlfriend. Julie-Su?

Knuckles: Yeah, but she's on Mobius, isn't she?

Sonic: Yeah, but-

Rainbow Dash came zooming past the hedgehog, causing him to fall off the barn. Luckily, he wasn't hurt, but that didn't stop him from being furious.

Sonic: HEY! RD!

Rainbow Dash: (flying down) You called?

Sonic: You better watch where you're flying, or it's going to catch up with you.

Rainbow Dash: Are you saying I'm weak?

Sonic: No, I'm saying that you barely pay any attention to the road.

Rainbow Dash: Care to make a little bet on that?

Sonic: What do you mean?

Rainbow Dash: Let's have a little competition. If you win, I won't trip anyone again. If I win, you have to buy me something at the Summer Centennial, next Saturday.

Sonic: Deal!

Knuckles: Uhhh, Sonic... she's pretty fast for you.

Rainbow Dash: Thank you, ugly. (starts laughing)

Knuckles: Grrr! On second thought... FIFTY RINGS ON SONIC!

So the race of the century is on the way. Knuckles was making a finish line and everything. He wanted to prove Rainbow Dash that looks can be decieving.

- - - - - When the preparations are finished - - - - -

The race was about to begin. Sonic and Rainbow Dash took their marks.

Rainbow Dash: Ready to win second place?

Sonic: Not even in your dreams!

Knuckles: (holds up a shotgun) (Author's Note: Please don't review on how he got it.) On your marks... get set...

*BANG!

Sonic and Rainbow Dash zoomed away into the forest. At the moment they left, a hawk fell out of the sky, bleeding.

Twilight: That's going to send in angry reviews.

- - - - - The Race - - - - -

Sonic and Rainbow Dash separated themselves in the forest. Sonic believes he was winning... until a swarm of bees ON FIRE shot at him. Sonic tried to shoo them off, but the bees kept swarming and burning him. At last, when they've gone, and Sonic continued racing, but he hit another obstacle: a red snake with arms and a weird looking staff.

Snake: Almar and H'earring, is this the creature you speak of?

The two creatures lurked out of the bush beside him. Sonic recognized them. They were the two monsters that tried to attack him on his first night in Equestria. Almar was the one with the brain and H'earring was the one with the floppy ears.

Almar: Yes, Phyrithion. It is him.

Phyrithion: It is a hedgehog, but he is not red or carries white maces.

H'earring: We knew that, but... he is under protection of Maxxor!

Phyrithion: WHAT? Why didn't you tell our conqueror?

Almar: He wouldn't listen! He is the leader of the Underworld, you know... planning the war on Equestria, and plotting to murder Maxxor and Celestia- -

Phyrithion: Ix-nay on the urder-may!

Sonic: You mean Hades?

Phyrithion: No, common hedgehog! Hades is the god of the Underworld. We mean Chaor, our leader and chief commander.

H'earring: As well as the Dark Angel.

Sonic didn't know what to do. Should he run or call for help? Sonic now knows that they were after a red hedgehog with white maces (Sonic: (Knickles!)), but he didn't know who Chaor or the Dark Angel is.

Sonic: Listen, guys, I'd better go. I'm in a race with this pretty girl, so- -

H'earring: The Rainbow Dash human? She is pretty fast, isn't she? She will be faster when she becomes one of us!

Sonic: WHAT? I didn't mean- -

Phyrithion: It is too late, hedgehog! We are planning a raid on your friends and destroy them, except the red hedgehog and the Rainbow Dash human. With a bit of our Mugic, with the Rainbow Dash human enchanted and turns into an evil, vile, careless creature of death, all of Perim and Equestria will be ours!

Sonic: Not on my watch! (performs a Spin Dash and bolts to the Underworlders)

Phyrithion points the staff at Sonic and electricity is shot from it! It was painful, beyond painful. He fell to the ground and passed out, but he heard the creature's voices.

H'earring: Should we kill him, Almar? He knows too much.

Almar: No, leave him. Leave him to see what will happen if the Rainbow Dash human becomes more powerful than even Chaor. SHE WILL KILL THIS CREATURE HERSELF IF HE RESISTS!

Phyrithion: HAHAHAHA! Excellent! Leave him to die and watch his firiends die in pain and misery!

They slithered away to leave Sonic to suffer. Will his friends believe this nonsense?
