After Rainbow Dash got the information she needed,she zipped out of the hut,in search of the blue hedgehog

"Your mine now!" she hissed under her breath,moving faster than the naked eye could conceive,

Fluttershy then turned back to Knuckles,who was unconscious at this time.

"Oh you poor thing,I'm sorry for how Rainbow Dash behaved,are you okay?" she asked,expecting him to respond,but he didn't move an inch.

"Don't you worry about a thing,I'll fix you up right away!" Fluttershy shot out,pulling out her medical equipment.

After she had cleaned and wrapped up his wounds,she began worrying for Sonic

"Oh no,he doesn't know she's after his hide,I gotta warn him!" she said,flying near the door,then remembering Knuckles and his condition,she stopped

"Oh yeah,you…" she said,disappointed at the fact that he was too injured to leave alone,a thought then crossed her mind.

Else where…

Rarity,Pinkie Pie,and Spike were in a jungle of some sort

"The next few shards are in this area,Spike,if you will." Rarity said, illuminating a part of the ground,revealing a shard of the master emerald,which Spike dug up,happily

"Do you think that weasel guy followed us here?" Spike asked,concerned by the fact that someone might be hunting them down

"Oh don't you worry your purple little head Spike,were way too far for him to find us here,no need to worry!" Pinkie Pie reassured,patting Spike hardly on the head until he forced her to stop by moving a few feet away.

Then,a few bullets went off,and what they saw shocked them. Fang was on his hoverbike, The Marvelous Queen,firing at the two ponies and dragon

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" he laughed,evilly until his hoverbike was knocked over by a rainbow and he fell somewhere into the jungle

"AHHHHHHH!" he screamed before a crashing noise was heard

"Phew,Rainbow Dash really came out for us this time." Pinkie Pie said,happily

"But,where is she,its not like her to just hit and run like that with out consulting us afterwards." Rarity said,confused at the rainbow colored ponies actions

"Well,what ever she did,it sure saved us,am I right?" Spike asked,his arms shrugged

"We aren't safe yet Spike,Fang is still after us in this jungle,we should be very,very careful." Rarity said,then she and Spike both looked at Pinkie Pie simultaneously.

"What?" the pink pony asked,confused.

Tails,Twilight Sparkle,and Applejack had finally made it to the set point that they were supposed to meet.

"And we've got twelve minutes to spare." Tails said,looking at his watch,which also told time.

"So whatter we gunna do fer tha next twelve minutes,shorty?" Applejack asked,again Tails frowned at the term "shorty" but kept his thoughts to himself

"I don't know,we need to be observant for one,there may be badniks all over the place as far as we know." The yellow fox said,clicking buttons on his watch to check the position of the badniks. Seven were near the three.

"Looks like we've gotten company….." Tails said,pulling out his arm cannon.

"Get ready everypony." Twilight Sparkle said,getting into fighting position,which Applejack followed,then the signal of the seven robots suddenly disappeared

"What the?" Tails asked,then a Rainbow zoomed past the position the robors previously were,and a powerful shockwave followed,making the small fox fall back,yet the two ponies didn't move.

"Ow…..what was that?" he asked,knowing that couldn't have been Sonic,who would've stopped to greet his best friend.

Twilight Sparkle and Applejack both looked at eachother,then nodded

"Rainbow Dash." They both said at the same time.

"Who?" Tails asked,confused
