(Ponyville: VS Mega Arm)
Sonic charged the mech as it got ready to slam its huge hand down onto the blue hedgehog, but luckily Sonic was too fast and unleashed a homing attack on the cockpit window, cracking it while inside, Eggman was bashed and buffeted around by the force of the impact. "GAAAH!" he screamed.
Sonic landed perfectly on his feet while the onlooking ponies cheered.
Eggman got himself back into his seat as Orbot got out of his sphere then examined the machine's status. "The cockpit seems to have taken a massive hit, Boss." he explained before Eggman gave him an annoyed look.
"Oh really? Way to point out the obvious, captain obvious!" he remarked before readying the mech for another attack. Suddenly he was thrown off again.
Sonic stomped on the window, causing a small portion to shatter! "Could you try harder Egghead? I don't even have a scratch on me!" taunted the blue hedgehog.
Some ponies laughed.
Eggman was angered as he got back onto the seat and slammed down on the control panel. The spikes on the roof shot out and were now aiming at the blue hedgehog. They were homing missiles!
"Sonic! Look out!" Tails cried.
One of the missiles slammed into the ground and the explosion following caused Sonic to go flying. He shook off the pain and recovered before unleashing multiple homing attacks on the remaining spikes. They were launched back at Eggman and impacted with a large explosion. The mad scientist was tossed and thrown about like a ball bouncing off a wall.
Orbot was shaken but ok and checked the status once more. "The cockpit is nearly destroyed boss! I suggest we should retreat for now."
Eggman got back in his seat and growled. "Quiet you junk heap! There's no way i'm going to back off just now! I haven't even unleashed my secret weapon yet!" he chuckled.
Back outside, the ponies were cheering the blue hero on, chanting his name. "SO-NIC! SO-NIC! SO-NIC!"
Sonic smiled as he landed. "I know i'm awesome but let's not make a big deal about it!" he said.
Meanwhile, Mega Arm raised both its arms high up. Tails gasped. "Sonic!" he tried to warn his friend but it was too late. As Sonic turned around, the two huge hands came down on the blue blur. Eggman laughed as he raised the machines arms back up to reveal Sonic pressed into the ground, unconscious.
The ponies gasped.
Twilight decided that enough was enough and tried to do something to save her friend. She began to concentrate, her horn beginning to glow brightly.
Eggman slammed down on a button and the spikes on the roof shot out again and were aimed right at Sonic! Suddenly, just as they were about to hit their target, they stopped as a purple aura shrouded them.
"WHAT?! How can this be?" Eggman asked himself before the spikes turned around, now aimed at the cockpit! The aura vanished and the missiles rocketed straight at it with a series of explosions.
Twilight beamed, pumping her hooves. "Yes! It worked!" she exclaimed joyfully before concentrating again. "Hmm...I wonder..." Her horn glowed again as suddenly the arms of Eggman's machine were shrouded by the same purple aura. Twilight was now at full control as she made the mech punch and slap itself! The purple unicorn couldn't help but laugh at all the frustration she was giving Eggman! The crowd laughed along with her as well as Tails.
Meanwhile in the crater, Sonic began to wake up. He clutched his head as he struggled to stand up. "Ugh...what happened...?" he pondered before looking up and busting out laughing until he dove out of the way as Big Arm's hand slammed into the ground, barely missing him!
Twilight noticed this and gasped. "That's not supposed to happen! How could he just break my magic like that?" she worriedly puzzled.
Eggman had switched the machine into overdrive, increasing its strength and was now able to subdue the most powerful of restraints such as Twilight's magical energy.
Eggman slammed his fist against the glass in anger. "You little nuisance! So it was YOU who's been controlling my mech!" he steered Mega Arm towards the now fleeing crowd.
Twilight stared in fear as the huge metallic monster got closer and closer. She snapped out of her state of shock and began running but she was too late as Mega Arm grabbed her by the tail! "HELP!" she screamed.
Eggman chuckled as she threw her up in the air and caught her, now clutching her body, leaving her head exposed. "You're mine now! Tell me where the Elements of Harmony are NOW or else!" He demanded. Twilight glared. "Or else what? You'll be lucky to get anything out of me!" she exclaimed. Suddenly she felt as if being squeezed, tighter and tighter. The huge hand continued to close on itself, constricting the helpless unicorn.
"Tell me now or i'll turn you into pony lemonade!" Eggman demanded once again as Twilight found it harder to breathe.
"I'll...never...tell..urgh...you...anything!" she said in a weak and hoarse tone as the mech only squeezed harder, close to crushing her rib cage!
Eggman growled. "THAT'S IT! You tell me now or i'll squeeze the life out of you! WHERE ARE THEY?!" he yelled.
Twilight could barely breathe as the pressure was becoming too much for her! "N-n-nev...never!..." she choked out.
Eggman frowned. "You've just made a terrible mistake!" he said before having the hand squeeze even tighter, not holding anything back, until... "GAH!"
Sonic ripped right through the engines with a homing attack!
Eggman was thrown wildly, hitting a lever and causing Twilight, who was now unconscious due to the intense pressure from being nearly crushed, to go flying.
Rainbow Dash noticed this and bolted towards her before catching her just short of the ground below. Meanwhile Sonic had landed with a slight wobble, still recovering from Mega Arm's surprise attack. "Yo Eggman! That's not how you should treat others! Try asking nicely next time!" he suggested.
Eggman had enough of Sonic beating him around. He snarled fiercely. "YOU BLASTED LITTLE RODENT! I'VE HAD ENOUGH!" he screamed as he threw his fist down on a button.
Orbot noticed this and a worried expression grew into its metallic face. "Uh boss, I wouldn't try that function! It hasn't been tested!"
Despite the warning, Eggman ignored this. "Shut up you worthless bot! It's time i finish off that blue pest once and for all!"
Outside, Sonic could see Mega Arm's chest opening up to reveal a huge cannon charging up energy! Sonic dove out of the way just before the cannon could blast him. Then he rolled and began to drift towards Mega Arm before unleashing a powerful boost, a blue cone surrounding him indicating he had broken the sound barrier. He slammed right into Mega Arm and burst out the other side.
"GAH! NO!" Eggman screamed as everything started to smoke and spark.
Sonic flipped through the air before landing back on the grass as a fiery explosion engulfed the robot behind him. He then turned around to see the a dark cloud of smoke coming from the destroyed mech.
Sonic grinned. "Better luck next time Egghead!" He said before noticing the girls, Spike and Tails surrounding him as well as the whole town!
Every pony stomped and cheered for their blue hero.
"THAT WAS SO AWESOME! YOU TOTALLY NAILED THAT GUY!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed excitedly.
"YEEHAW! That was quite the rodeo show back there, sugarcube! I've never seen ANYTHING like it!" Applejack cheered before giving Sonic a BIG pat on the back making him nearly fall on the ground.
"That was absolutely dazzling and stunning, darling! You certainly are something special!" Rarity remarked.
Pinkie Pie screamed with excitement. "OHMYGOSH! THAT WAS AMAZING!"
Fluttershy hovered over with a happy but worried expression. "Oh my. You were amazing Sonic! You rock but...are you hurt? Any broken bones? skinned knees? Headaches?" She panicked and pulled out a first aid kit, ready to take on any boo-boos!
Sonic chuckled. "Heheh. I'm ok Fluttershy! Believe me, i've been through worse. Wait...where's Twilight?"
Sonic looked around before noticing the purple unicorn on the ground next to Rainbow Dash.
Tails flew over. "Twilight...? Are you ok?" he asked.
Twilight woke up and noticed the two-tailed fox. "T-T-Tails...ugh...i think so..." She tried to get up but the pain in her chest was too much for her as she fell back to the ground. "Ah!" She winced.
Fluttershy rushed over while Sonic remembered something. "Looks like Eggman's robot nearly squeezed her life out..."
Meanwhile Eggman's mobile emerged from the wreckage, beaten but still going strong, along with Eggman and Orbot. "Grrrr...I hate that Hedgehog!"
Sonic and his friends noticed. "You hear me Sonic! I will find those Elements of Harmony! And i WILL be victorious!" He laughed as the glass closed shut and the mobile flew off into the sky.
Rainbow Dash approached Sonic, carrying an injured and bandaged Twilight on her back. "Sonic...?"
The blue hedgehog frowned. "Let's just keep calm for now...Eggman's up to something and we gotta find out what that is." He said before walking back into town with the others following.
