Tails,Twilight Sparkle and Applejack ended up in a large arena that looked like an endless forest.

"Uhh….Tails…..is this normal?" Twilight Sparkle asked. Tails nodded.

"We'll need to split up in order to find the exit to this place,it could be anywhere." Tails said,giving them small ear pieces.

"Twilight,Applejack,just give me a call if you see anything,okay?" Tails asked. The two nodded,then they all went their separate ways. After a while,Twilight came across a chaos emerald.

"How'd this get here?" she asked. She then went to pick it up,but when she touched it,it evaporated into a fog. When the fog gathered itself,Shadow was revealed. Twilight Sparkle gasped in surprise and almost fell to the ground. There was something different about him though,his red stripes were grey and his mouth was gone.

"S-Shadow,stay back!" she demanded. The copy chuckled to himself evilly.

"Wait a minute…your not Shadow…." Twilight Sparkle stated. The copy then began to walk towards her like he was a zombie,Twilight Sparkle backed away.

"I may not be Shadow,but I have some information that may be…useful….." the copy said,lifting his head to see Twilight but not moving his arms.

"What do you mean,useful?" Twilight Sparkle asked. Mephiles put his hand upon her head and a vision was sent into her mind. It was of Sonic with golden fur,destroying everything in his path,fire blazing around him and carnage behind him. It then showed ponyville in ruins,then it showed Rainbow Dash falling to the ground in defeat. Sonic laughed maniacally as the flames proceeded to destroy what remained in ponyville.

When the copy released his hand from her forhead,Twilight Sparkle could do nothing but look on in horror at what she saw.

"But Sonic would never do that,he saved me from Trixie and Shadow,its all just a trick,your trying to make me betray him so that there will be nothing in your way,well I'm not going to let that happen!" Twilight exclaimed,lighting her horn and aiming it at the copy.

"Suit yourself." The copy then laughed maniacally as he turned into black fog,disappearing from Twilight Sparkles path.

Twilight took this time to gather herself.

"It was all a trick Twilight,don't over complicate things…" She then began walking away,weary about Sonic and his rather questionable friends.

The CMC hid behind a large column,away from the water creature as it lurked about.

*PSSP*

"W-what was-" Scootaloo said before another

*PSSP* sound was heard. The three fillies turned to see Zecora,hiding near an extra exit,motioning them to come closer to her. The three fillies tip toed to her and then ran out of the exit. The four then made it back to Zecora's shack.

"WHAT WAS THAT?" the three fillies exclaimed at the same time

"Never go there again,do you hear me,NEVER!" Zecora exclaimed,the three fillies whimpered at her.

"I believe its safe to go now,I doubt it will hurt you as long as you are outside of the temple." Zecora said before rushing the three out of her shact

"But wait,could you at least tell us what that thing is?" Sweetie Bell asked. Zecora sighed.

"That was Chaos,god of destruction,it was released when the master emerald that keeps Angel island afloat was destroyed. It now looks for something to destroy. I must gather the fallen pieces of the Master emerald to put it back together so that peace will be restored." Zecora finished. The three fillies then took a moment to realize what was going on now.

"Well,maybe we can help,nopony can do anything by herself Zecora." Applebloom offered. Zecora sighed.

"As much as I hate to admit,you've gotten a point,allow me to get the tools necessary for the retrieval." Zecora said.

Knuckles,Fluttershy,Pinkie Pie,Rarity,Spike,Espio,Charmy and Vector were running through the hall when they came across three passages.

"Which way do we go?" Fluttershy asked.

"THAT WAY!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed,pointing to the center tunnel.

"How do you know that?" Vector asked.

"It says command center on the panel on top." she said,happily.

"Oh...well come on guys,lets go get 'em!" Vector exclaimed,going into the tunnel as the others followed.

"Well what do you know,your plan has failed once again Doctor,they're still getting inside the death egg." TRixie said,coldly.

"Did you think I hired them to actually kill them? I knew that they were only going to be successful in slowing them down,we need all of them for this plan to work. We aren't going for just the chaos emeralds you know,we want the elements of harmony as well you know!" exclaimed,happily.

"Sir,three ponies,four mobians and a baby dragon are headed directly towards us." a badnik said,examining the monitor.

"Well then,lets see who they are!" the doctor said,looking at the monitor to see Team chaotix working with Rarity,Fluttershy,Pinkie Pie and Spike.

"Oh dear,they're getting here quicker than I expected,I guess I'll just have to send my Eggpawns to hinder their progress now wont I?" he asked.

"Right away Doctor." the robot said,activating the defenses.

Sonic and Rainbow Dash finally entered the death egg. By that time,all of the badniks,eggpawns,and swatbots had been activated to attack intruders.

"Race you to the others!" Rainbow Dash said, confidentially

"You bet!" Sonic exclaimed,the two then dashed into the crowd of enemies,destroying and dodging them as they went on.
