My Little Pony/Sonic the Hedgehog
CHAOS IS MAGIC
Chapter 6: This Day Tiara
Castle of the Two Sisters.
In a matter of seconds, an all out war begins.
Scourge and his Revenge Ten (Scourge, Trixie, Gilda, Iron Will, Flim, Flam, Spot, Fido, Rover, Lightning Dust and Garble), charge up against Sonic and his Freedom Fighters (Sonic the Hedgehog, Shadow the Hedgehog, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Twilight, Applejack, Amy, Bunnie, Knuckles, Julie-Su, Vector and Mighty).
"GET THEM!" Scourge yelled and they attack each other.
"Here I come, Scourge!" Sonic yelled back and he spin dashes toward Scourge and hits him.
Twilight Sparkle holds her own against Spot and Fido with beams from her horn and Knuckles throws punches at the dodging Iron Will. Bunnie closes in on Trixie but she uses the Amulet's power and turns Bunnie's robotic limbs against her. Her arms punches her own face and jets all around the place with her screaming and Trixie laughing. Sonic then homing attacks the laughing Trixie. "Not cool!" Vector dodges a strike from Garble and Mighty punches Gilda. Applejack charges towards Flim as he does the same, she then jumps over him and bonks him to the ground. Rainbow Dash tried bucking Scourge but he speeds around her and elbows her in the flank. Scourge spin dashes toward her but Rainbow narrowly dodges but he bounces back off a wall and sped towards her again, only to be stopped by Sonic who spin dashed at him, causing both to fall to the ground. Lightning Dust tries to attack Julie-Su by swooping down at her but she uses her agility and tilts her back down, dodging the swoop and shoots her with a projectile weapon.
Flim, Flam, Spot, Fido and Rover surround Rarity and Shadow as they stand back to back, staring at their foes. "I suppose you have some sort of unique ability against these foes." She asked.
"Unique? I'm the ultimate lifeform. You haven't seen nothing yet." Shadow remarked as he charges at Flim and kicks him in the face. Rarity helps by bucking away the Diamond Dogs away from her. Garble then sneaks up on Shadow and tries grab him again, but Shadow's instincts allows him to grab his arm. "Once again, big mistake." Shadow then flips him over and hurls him away.
The two hedgehogs also fight hand to hand but their strengths and attacks are too equal. Scourge headbutts Sonic and he speeds off out of the throne room. Sonic chases him in the process. Sonic and Scourge are now racing down the Hall of Hooves colliding into each other with kicks and punches.
"You have any idea what we're doing, Scourge?" Sonic asked him.
"What's it look like, wuss?" Scourge asked back and he kicks Sonic in the face and he lands into a wall while Scourge brags again. "You think I care if the world ends?"
"If the world does end along with the universe, there won't be single world to rule."
"Shut up, blue. I've already conquered Moebius and soon I'll conquer you. That's what I'll do when the world ends."
Sonic glares at him. "You just don't have the heart, don't you?" Sonic spin dashes at Scourge while he does the same and they both spin dash down the trap door slide.
Back in the throne room, Amy struggles with Iron Will who tries to take her hammer. "Hah! You, little girl, are no match for the mighty minotaur strength of Iron Will!" He taunted. "Iron Will laughs at his opponents lack of strength. No one can defeat Iron-" Just then, Amy kicks his face and whacks him away with her hammer.
"Iron Will should shut up right now!" Amy retorted. "Seriously, this guy won't shut up." Amy told Rarity.
"Believe me, Amy, you have no idea how it is with him." Rarity replied before being tackled again by the Diamond Dogs.
Amy rushes to save her. "Hang on, Rarity!" She holds her hammer up at them. "Get your grubby paws off her, you darn dirty dogs!" She smacks each of them with her hammer.
Lightning Dust and Gilda circle around Rainbow Dash. "C'mon, guys. You really think you can take me on by yourselves?" Dashie asked while smirking.
"You humiliated us, Rainbow Crash." Gilda said.
"You made us lose our dignity." LD said as they continue to circle her.
"And now, it's time to take it all back." Said Gilda, preparing to charge at her.
Dash yawns. "Don't hold your breath."
Both Gilda and Lightning Dust charge right at her, but at the last second she quickly ducks down making them bump their heads into each other and RD finishes them off with an uppercut to both their chins. The two lay down while Rainbow Dash berates them about their thirst for revenge.
"You guys just don't know when to give up. Sure I may have destroyed your lives, but for good and 'honest mistake' reasons." She looks to Gilda. "You, for making my friends feel bad by calling them names and treating them like dirt. A true friend never treats her other friends like that." And at LD. "And you, you may be a good flyer and all, but a true Wonderbolt always has her rights. They don't go to extreme lengths just to prove themselves, they only do it because they have the heart for it, even when their friends are there to cheer her on, they grow twice as strong. But there's one problem about you two: None of you care."
Gilda and LD look to each other while Dashie helps fend off the other villains.
Fido tries to take Amy's hammer off her hands. "Hnng! Let me go!" She struggled.
Rover comes up behind her and tries to restrain her. "Come on, pretty lady, we just want to play! All dogs like to play!"
"Then how about you play with a real woman!" Julie-Su ran up to Rover and kicks him down, releasing Amy and swings Fido away. The three dogs surround the two and they run towards them in rage but Shadow teleports in front of them and holds his hand out at the dogs and his hand glows with green fire. "CHAOS BLAST!" He shouted and a large red shockwave blasts the dogs away.
Rainbow Dash just witnessed what he just did as she flew past him. "Whoa! Shadow! That was..."
"Was what?" Shadow asked while still frowning.
"SUPER MEGA ULTRA AWESOME!" Dashie said with her hooves to her cheeks. "You gotta show me that sometime."
"Thanks. But I'll settle for my own." Shadow said.
Iron Will dodges punches thrown by Knuckles. "Hahaha! Little tree nut. Iron Will is the strongest one of all." He himself throws his fist toward Knuckles but Knux bangs his heavy spiky fist right at Iron Will's knuckle and cracks them. Iron Will clutches his broken hand in pain and cries. "Why did you do that? You know Iron Will has a fragile joint." He cries more as he holds his hand and Knuckles leaves him be.
"Heh. What a baby." He remarked.
Trixie has Twilight pinned to the ground and aims her horn to her face. "Any last words, Twilight, before I turn your head into an orange?"
"Yes." Twilight smirked. "Duck." She said and Trixie's face seemed confused despite her confident look.
"Duck? What do you-" And then Bunnie swooped in and tacked Trixie to a pillar. "Shoulda 'ducked', hon." Said Bunny and Twilight ties Trixie to the pillar with her own cape.
"Oh, very clever, Twilight Sparkle. You ARE full of surprises, are you not?" Trixie says as she smiles.
"Bunnie! Take the amulet off her!" Twilight prompted her and she attempts to take the amulet off Trixie, but cannot remove it despite her strength.
"Ah can't! It's like it's glued to her." Bunnie said, which made Twilight realize.
"Of course. Only the wearer of the Alicorn Amulet can take it off." Twilight tries to talk it out with Trixie. "Trixie! Remove the amulet! It's corrupting you even more."
Trixie didn't care. "And if I do remove it, you would just have your princess lock me up in her dungeon."
"Please, just cooperate, Trixie. It's for your own good." Twilight convinced.
Trixie thinks for a moment. "If I do, will you do me one favor?"
"What favor is that?" Twilight asked.
Trixie smiles evilly much to Twilight's horror as she knows what she wants her to do, and she'll probably regret it.
Back to Sonic and Scourge they fling themselves up to the top of the castle and run across the rooftops. They trade more kicks and punches.
"You're gonna have to quit this sometime, blue." Scourge kicks Sonic and he lands on the balcony. Scourge comes in and stomps on Sonic's body, pinning him there. "Face it, moron! I'm more faster, stronger and better than you!"
"You might be." Sonic adds. "But you seem to be missing something else."
"What?"
"Smarts." Sonic then spins making Scourge fly off him and Sonic then rushes all around at him with punches. "You see, Scourge, you may be faster than me, but you're certainly not smarter than me." Scourge tries to thrust his leg for a kick but misses and Sonic downward kicks his head. "The trick is; you have to think fast to be fast. Luckily, I'm good at that." Sonic throws more punches at Scourge, making him more disoriented and weak. "Just because you think you're superior than everyone else doesn't mean we're not better than you." Scourge falls to the ground and looks at Sonic standing tall at him. "You know why. Because you're a bully, Scourge. A spoiled little brat with nothing to do but boast around. A big dumb meanie." Sonic's words breaks Scourge enough to kick Sonic in gut and back on the ground.
Meanwhile, Tails leads the other group (Sally, Espio, Charmy, Antoine, Spike, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, Silver Spoon, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie) down to the library. Espio and Charmy are carrying the unconscious Pinkie Pie who is in a shock state.
"Come on, guys! It's this way!" Tails said as they ran to the library. "Nicole can you locate the book?"
"I have enough power to scan the library for it. It's in one of the bookshelves."
"Alright! Guys! We're nearly there! We're nearly- *gasp*!" Tails stopped as the others gasp as well to see Garble holding the book of Ancient Pony History, about to tear it to pieces.
"Not another move, two tails." Garble says as he pulls a claw out from his paw. "If you do, then this book is shredded."
The team stood still as they talk him over. Sally first. "Listen, Garble. We know you respect your fellow members of your group, but if you destroy that book then millions of lives will be lost. Don't you care about what happens when the universe collapses."
"Yeah! I do! But I don't want your sympathy. I want my revenge. And I'm looking at it right now." Garble is laying eyes on Spike and everyone turns.
"Me?" Spike says to them in accusation but realizes quickly. "Oh, right. But why?"
"You humiliated me, you little dork!" Garble explained. "None of my friends will talk to me because of you. Because you're the cool dragon now. Ever since you pulled all those stunts back in our kingdom, my friends said that you were better than me. I was in hiding for months when they laughed at me. So now... I want to take it all back... from you. I want my revenge now." Garble is serious and Spike looks nervous. "Come here." He lifted his finger to him but Spike hesitated as he looks to the others in the group. "C'mere right now, or your book is toast!" He screamed again.
Spike sighs in defeat and walks up to him with a shock look from Fluttershy. "Spike?"
"It's okay, everyone. It's me he wants, not you." Spike said as he walks up to him. "You want your revenge, Garble. Here it is." Spike stands for himself. "I right here. Just do what you have to do and end it already."
Flutters becomes teary eyed and tries to save him. "Spike! No!" But Antoine stops her and allows Spike to make an honorable sacrifice.
"Well, what are you waiting for. Strike me down. I don't care what happens to me. Just as long as my friends are safe." The CMC and Fluttershy smile but also tear up as well, knowing this is probably the last time they see Spike. Spike stood still, waiting to be executed by Garble and he smiles. Fluttershy covers her eyes, not wanting to see his death. Garble then breathes in, presumably about to shoot flames out of his mouth and Spike cringes more. But then, Garble then lets out a dragon roar and it scares Spike to the ceiling, hits his head and crashes back down to the ground. Spike then gets up to see that he's still alive but also sees Garble laughing on the floor.
"Oh, you should have seen the look on your face, you little scaredy cat! Ahhhh hahahahaha!" While he laughs the rest of the group is confused and Sweetie Belle prompts Fluttershy to look again, seeing the worse is over and Spike is still alive. "You were like 'WAH! and you hit your head! That's the funniest thing I've ever saw."
"What?" Spike is confused. "But weren't you going to strike me down with your bare claws?"
"If I wanted too, I wouldn't have shown any mercy. But you're lucky I'm not such a violent dragon." Garble unexpectedly admitted which shocks the group.
"So, you're not a evil dragon?" Fluttershy asked. "But why were you about to...?"
"Cut your mane?" Garble also admits. "What else did you think I was going to do?"
"So, you were in on it not just for revenge against me and my friends but you were there just so you can... see me suffer your lighthearted wrath?" Spike asked.
"I know I may look it... but whatever you think most dragons do, is not true. Me, I'm just a teenager. And killing an innocent creature isn't my specialty, especially if it was a pony. I just have some fun with them and make them look bad. You, I wanted to make you look bad for so long. I wanted to humiliated you so much you'd wet yourself. Speaking of which, you already did."
Spike looked down and uttered "Ew." He then looks at Garble after realizing who he was. "So... not only you're a mean dragon but you're also a good dragon too. Wow. You had me fooled. So does that make us even now?"
Garble lends his paw to him. "We're even, little squirt." They shake. "But the next time you come to our turf again, I'll make you eat your own tail." Spike looked a bit freaked out. "I'm just kidding." The two then share a laugh. "Seriously, don't." He said. "Well, I'm done here. I'll probably just go wait for the end of the world." Garble flew out through the castle window as Spike watched and Tails grabs the book.
"We got the book! Let's get back to Sonic!" Tails told the others but suddenly the book is then lifted out of his hands by purple magic and Tails sees Twilight. "I'm sorry about this, Tails." She says.
"Twilight? What are you doing?" Tails asked.
"She's doing me a favor." Trixie appears behind Twilight while the others gasp. "I asked Twilight that she betrays you cretins and gives the book of Pony History to me and in return I will give up the Alicorn Amulet."
"Twilight? Why?" Spike asked.
"If the book really meant a lot to Twilight than I shall use the book and recite the ritual myself." Trixie said. "Well, Twilight? Hand it over."
Twilight looks sad and Spike felt heartbroken, but as Twilight turned to Spike she winks at him, hinting her trust and Spike is shocked. "The book, Twilight Sparkle. Give it to me! I will be the one to save the world. Me, the Great and Powerful Trixie."
Twilight then gives the book to Trixie and she holds it with her magic. "A wise decision. Now here's your Alicorn Amulet." Trixie removes the Alicorn Amulet and gives it to Twilight. Trixie then holds the book in victory. "At last! Now I can finally create my own kingdom with the help of this book!" Trixie admits, angering the team.
"You lied!" Antoine draws his sword. "The Freedom Fighters will not allow it!" Trixie takes away Antoine's sword and holds it in the air.
"At last, nopony can ever triumph over the Great and Powerful-"
Twilight hits Spike in the back and he belches out fire at the book, causing it to disappear. "Wha-?" Trixie becomes utterly shocked. "What-? The book? What? I-?" She looks at Twilight as she smiles and Trixie becomes mad. "You! What did you do? Where's the book!?"
"Safe. Away from you." Twilight said.
"Where? Tell me or I'll-" She realizes she's not wearing the Alicorn Amulet anymore. "*gasp* My Amulet. YOU TRICKED ME!"
"I sure did." Twilight held the amulet in her hoof.
"Then where's the book, Twilight?" Apple Bloom asked as the group walked up to her.
"I had Spike here send it away from this world." Twilight said.
"But my fire can only send stuff to..." Spike suddenly understands. "You sent the book to Princess Celestia?"
"That's right. Once the princess has seen where the book came from..." Twilight says but is suddenly tackled by Trixie as she attacks her.
"The Great and Powerful Trixie will destroy you Twilight Sparkle!" She roared in anger. "Give me the Alicorn Amulet now!"
Espio then appears behind her and pinches her neck. "Ninja pinch!" And Trixie goes into unconsciousness. "Works every time."
"Thanks, Espio." Twilight said.
"But what about the amulet?" Antoine asked as Twilight holds it in her hand and wonders.
Back to Sonic, he is once again having a run around with Scourge who attacks him in anger.
"You think I'm a bully?" Scourge trips him. "You think I'm bad at everything?" He spin dashes right to his face. "You think I'm a big meanie?!" Scourge punches him.
Scourge grabs Sonic by the chest and holds him there as he speaks. "There's only one thing I know I'm good at, moron. Conquering your world just like I conquered mine. I don't care about anybody else, I do things for myself and having friends is a waste of time! It's a real shame it has to end like this though..." At that point, someone appears behind him and taps on his shoulder to get his attention. Scourge looks back and gets his lights punched out.
Scourge lands on the ground, groans and tries looking up. He sees his 'girlfriend' standing over him and his expression changes. "I'm not worth the help, am I?" Fiona took what he said before.
"Fiona?" Scourge is shocked. "Hey, babe. What's happenin'? I thought you were still on ice." He tries acting innocent about it. "I tried to get you out..."
"Oh really." Fiona said. "Is that why you left me and the Destructix outside?" Fiona grabs Scourge and holds him up by his jacket.
"Fiona? Baby? Put me down! What are you doing?" Scourge yells while Fiona walks over to the castle's gargoyle. "I mean it! Put me down right now!"
"Oh don't you worry, Scourgey." Fiona tells him. "This will only hurt a bit." She slams his face on the gargoyle. Scourge is knocked out and Fiona drops him down.
"Um... Thanks, Fiona." Sonic says to her.
"Don't thank me just yet, Sonic." Fiona still wants to fight. "I'm still itching to fight you once again." But just as Fiona charged at him, the castle starts to shake and they feel the rumble.
"Uh oh." Sonic then looks to Fiona. "Sorry, Fiona, but I guess our little score will have to wait." Sonic races back down to the throne room while Fiona is left behind.
Back in the throne room, every villain has been taken care of, well almost. Knuckles has just thrown Rover into a wall and is now defeated. "Well that's the last of them." He said.
The whole group then takes a look at the entire throne room. "Oh my goodness! What a rampant mess we have made." Rarity stated as she picks up a tore piece of a tapestry. "It's going to take us days to repair and restore everything here."
"Well, at least... the worse is over, right?" Applejack wondered.
But then the whole area shook. They look around in panic as the place rumbles. "What's happening now?" Julie-Su asked and Knuckles plants his hand on his head and groans. "Knuckles?"
He looks up and glares. "It's her..."
The doors in front of them burst and crystal wind blows through their hair, blinding them for a short time. Eventually, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Knuckles, Julie-Su, Vector, Mighty, Bunnie, Amy and Shadow are staring right at the face of the enemy as she walks in, yellow and blue armor all around her and she chuckles.
"Is that-?" Amy spoke.
"Enerjak Tiara!" Knuckles said.
"Oh dear!" Rarity exclaimed.
"Now... where's the Alicorn Amulet?" She asked them. "Give it to me. I want it now!"
"You want it? Fine." Shadow jumps towards her and spin dashes at her. "HAVE IT!" But Enerjak Tiara puts up an electric shield, disorientating and electrocuting Shadow and he falls back down, knocked out.
"Hahahahaha! You weak little animal!" She called him and then spots Applejack and Rarity within the crowd. "Ahhhh... the sisters of the blank flanks that oh so irritate me." She flew up to them and Julie-Su tries to stop her but Tiara uses her horn and zaps JS away from her. Knuckles helps her up as Tiara faces the two ponies. "I'm really am sorry about this, but I can't allow you to be here anymore."
"Um... Diamond Tiara?" Rarity speaks. "You don't really have to cause all this calamity. Why don't we settle this discussion over a nice lunch? What say to you?"
"It's not you I'm after... it's the Alicorn Amulet! Where is it?"
"Uhhh... It's not here." Applejack says.
"And here I thought you were the Element of Honesty, Applejack." Tiara reminded and stares at Applejack more. "Where is it!?"
"Okay... it's in this room somewhere, and uhh..." Applejack is trying to be a little honest. "It's close by... and it... uh... might be somewhere around the castle." Applejack smiles nervously.
"I don't believe you." Tiara said and her horn charges up with green energy. "Tell me now! And if you lie again..." She holds her horn right up at Applejack's neck, threatening to kill her if she lies again.
"It's not here, Enerjak Tiara!" Twilight spoke behind her and Tiara looks to see her and an unconscious Trixie carried by her magic. She puts her down and confronts her. "I send the Alicorn Amulet back to Equestria, back in the hooves of Princess Celestia. You can give up now."
Tiara sees through her lies as well and shoots a projectile beam from her horn at Twilight and the Amulet drops from her. "No you didn't."
Rainbow Dash helps Twilight up and everyone in the room witnesses Enerjak Tiara as she levitates the amulet up and places it around her neck, empowering her to the maximum of her strength. "Finally. Now everypony will bow to me!" A lightning surge around her and everyone including Knuckles has shocked looks. "And now, I'm going to annihilate everybody in this room. Starting with you!" Tiara aims her horn at Twilight but then Sonic comes crashing in and spin dashes at Tiara blinding her for a while. Sonic makes a landing and remarks. "Enerjak Tiara I presume." He says.
Tiara becomes enraged and fires bolts at him with her horn. Sonic runs to avoid them. "Everyone! Get out of here! I'll hold her off!"
Twilight and the others leave the throne room while Sonic deals with Enerjak Tiara. Twilight meets up with Tails. "The plan didn't go well, Tails. She has the amulet!"
"And what about the princess?" Tails asked. "Is she coming yet?"
"I can only hope so." Twilight said. "As long as the book reaches her and she knows the situation, she can help in any way."
"Where's Sonic?" Scootaloo asked Dash.
"He's holding off Enerjak Tiara!" She said.
"What?!" Shocked Sally. "All by himself?"
"Afraid so, Sally." Rarity replied.
"We have to help him!" Tails said as he tries to fly back into the throne room but Knuckles stops him.
"No! Do you remember what Enerjak is capable of?" Knuckles asked Tails.
Tails remembers and sheds a tear. "Sonic..."
"Should we help him, Twilight?" Applejack asked.
"Of course we have to help him." Amy got out her hammer. "If Sonic dies then the Freedom Fighters will be helpless!"
Back inside, Sonic dodges beams shot at by Enerjak Tiara. She fires another beam but Sonic jumps over it as it impacts the wall. "Missed me!" Sonic taunted and Sonic ran up to the ceiling as she fires a beam that shreds the entire walls. Sonic jumps off the wall and spin dashes toward her, but he bounces off her protected barrier. "What the?"
"I did say I am powerful!" Tiara shoots a beam at Sonic and it hits him in the air, but Sonic recovered long enough to spin dash over a pillar right back at her but still none of his attacks can harm her. Sonic lands back on the ground.
"Looks like I can't lay a scratch on ya." Sonic said. "She must be empowered by the energy drained from Master Emerald and her magic is giving her more power. Looks like Finitevus wasn't playing around after all."
Tiara then shoots more beams at him. "Sorry, I hate to spoil our play date, but I'm out of here." Sonic dashes out to the door, but Tiara shoots a beam at him which explodes in front of him. "Augh!" Sonic groaned.
Sonic gets up but as he does Enerjak Tiara faces Twilight and the others who have regrouped. She then spots Scootaloo, Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle among them and smiles. "Blank flanks!" The girls gasp as they look at their transformed bully. Sonic gets up after dealing with that blast and sees Rainbow Dash crashing down near him. "Dash!" He looks back at the enemy as she punches Knuckles to a wall and stomps on Vector. Mighty tries to punch her but she's impervious to his attacks and she kicks him away. Julie-Su and Bunnie shoot projectiles but she lasers them with her horn.
Twilight and Tails protect the CMC and Silver Spoon. "Girls, run!" Twilight told them.
"We're not leaving!" Apple Bloom said.
"It's too dangerous! You'll get hurt!" Tails said.
"But you will too." Sweetie Belle sadly added.
Tiara kicks Espio away, zaps Charmy away and zaps Antoine to the ground. "Sugah-Twan!" Bunnie runs up to him.
"GO GIRLS!" Twilight yelled.
"But... Twilight..." Scootaloo spoke but Silver Spoon tells her to run.
"Scootaloo! We must go now!" She said.
But Tiara lifts Twilight and Tails into the air and throws them away from her. Applejack and Rarity help them up while Sonic becomes infuriated more. Tiara faces at the fearful CMC and Silver Spoon in which he recognizes and sees she's with them. She then throws a fit. "YOU TRAITOR!" Tiara shoots a beam at her but Sonic speeds right through and grabs the fillies before they were blasted. "You were my best friend, Silver Spoon! And this is how you repay me!?"
She shoots another shredding beam at Sonic, as he carries the fillies to safety through the hall. Sonic rushes into the library and places the fillies down there. "Stay here! Okay!" Sonic rushes out in speed and heads towards Enerjak Tiara.
"Yo, Diamond! I'm not sure what these girls did to tick you off but I'm sure as heck not gonna let you hurt them as you hurt my friends!" Sonic spin dashes at her but Tiara blocks it.
"You foolish little rat! I want to destroy them because they ruined my popularity!" She fires more beams at Sonic and he jumps over them.
"Yeah, yeah. I heard that too many times from a lot of these guys who said they ruined their lives."
Tiara monologues as Sonic dodges her attacks. "Don't you understand. I can't hold it in anymore! I am sick and tired of everypony saying they have a great talent to change the world. It makes my blood boil to hear somepony say that." She strikes Sonic with a powerful beam. "I gave up on my happiness long ago. They say friendship is always in you, but do you believe it? No! Because it's just a stupid old mare's tale. Friendship isn't magic!" She strikes her hoof across Sonic's face. "There is no love!" She hits him with her horn. "There is no happiness!" She charges up her horn. "There is only misery! Cruelty! Anger! Deception! Greed! Disloyalty!" Sonic is on the ground after taking a pounding from Enerjak Tiara and she walks up to him. "They are what fuels my power. I am magic! I am powerful!" Sonic looks at her with one eye opened and she charges up her horn. "I am... GLAMOROUS!"
She was about to fire her powerful and fatal beam at Sonic but as Sonic's eyes flashed before him, nothing happened to him and he feels himself to see he hasn't been killed. "Why, thank you for stalling her, Sonic." Sonic then looks forward to see Robotnik in his Egg Beater armor as he successfully contained Enerjak Tiara who is unconscious within a bubble.
"Robotnik?" Sonic asked. "How...?"
"I am a genius, hedgehog. My advanced Egg Grape can entrap even powerful creatures for long periods without compensating their power. I managed to capture the Chaos Pony before it could even destroy you. And don't go asking why I saved you, because I'm not done with you yet. But for now, I'll let you off the hook for a while." Eggman said as he walks past Sonic in the armor. "And besides, you've taken quite a beating I don't think you're up to battling me now."
"Eggman...! You have no idea what that pony is capable of...!" Sonic tried to stop him but he is too weak and falls back down. "You're making a mistake. Really! You are." He tried calling for him.
Eggman turns around and doesn't believe him. "Of course, Sonic. The only mistake I am making is letting you live while I prepare my new power source and conquer Mobius with my all powerful Eggman Empire. In the meantime... enjoy your recovery. I'll send you a 'get better' card." He says but stops and shows something shocking to Sonic. "Oh and Sonic? Please give my wishes to your dearest friends for allowing me track down more of these ponies." He has Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo and Silver Spoon trapped in another Egg Grape he holds. "Sure they may not look it but perhaps I can give them 'a little makeover' on them."
"NO!" Sonic screamed.
"Sonic, help!" Sweetie Belle screamed.
"Sonic!" Apple Bloom screamed. "Please, help!"
"Farewell, Sonic. I hope you find happiness on the 'flipside'. HA! Hahahahahaha!" Eggman flies off in his armor along with his captives.
"SONIC!" The Cutie Mark Crusaders screamed as they are swept off in the air with Robotnik.
But just then, a shivery and almost crystalized Snively passes by Sonic.
Sonic tries to chase him again but trips due to being brutally beaten up earlier. He's covered in bruises and is suffering injuries so much he could almost not walk. He crawls out of the crater he's in and tries to find his team. While he does so, Enerjak Tiara's words play in his mind. "There is no love. There is no happiness. There is only misery. Friendship isn't magic. I am magic! I am powerful. I am glamorous!" Sonic tries hard to move again but he suddenly loses his energy and passes out. Sonic lies unconsciously on the floor as the walls rubble and the wind flying into Sonic's ear.
Everything was black in Sonic's eyes and he barely hear Rotor's voice as he tries to call him. "Sonic... Sonic... Are you there... Doctor Finitevus has escaped... He's heading towards Angel Island... Sonic... So...nic... So...nic..." The transmission is lost and Sonic remains unconscious.
"Where am I?" Sonic thought as he finds himself in an ethereal realm. (The same place Twilight was in 'Magical Mystery Cure'.) "What is this place? Am I dead? Is this where Knuckles was when he died? Doesn't look very much like it." Sonic walks down the path as everything around him was soundless. "How do I get back?" A light then shines on Sonic's face. "Huh?" He covered his eyes but looks in front of him. "What is that?" Sonic sees the Elements of Harmony in front of him. "Are they... the Elements of Harmony? The ones that Twilight was talking about? What are they doing here?" The six Elements then move and form a circle, they spin around and another light shines. Sonic looks to see that a seventh Element appears that was hidden from the Mane Six. It was a white Element but Sonic doesn't know what is. "Twilight said there were six Elements of Harmony. But she never told me there was a seventh. What could this mean? What's going on here? Is this a bad dream?" Suddenly another light shines behind Sonic and it engulfs him. Ending his dream.
Sonic slowly opens his eyes and everyone around him watches as he wakes up. Sally was relived to see Sonic alive. "Oh, Sonic! You're okay!" Sally hugs him and Amy hugs him as well with tears in her eyes. "Oh Sonic!"
"Uhh... hey, guys." Sonic felt tired as the girls released him and everyone is happy he is unharmed, well almost. "What happened?" He has an appendage on his arm around his neck.
"Me and Applejack were looking for a safe place while you were fighting off Enerjak Tiara." Rarity said. "When the skirmish seem to have ended we found you, badly injured and passed out."
"How long was I out?" Sonic asked Tails.
"Two hours. We carried you back to Knothole and patched you up." He replied.
Fluttershy tends to him with a bowl of oats. "Oh, you poor thing. You must be hungry after all that fighting." She said to him.
"Thanks. But no thanks." Sonic tried to get up but he is badly hurt he can't get up. "Agh!" Knuckles settles him down again.
"Try not moving, Sonic. Doctor Quack said your injuries were so severe, it's gonna take eight hours to recover." Knuckles said.
"I don't have eight hours, Knux. That's too slow for me!" Sonic tries to move up again. "Doctor Robotnik has Enerjak Tiara. He's going to drain it's power and use it for his own!"
"We know. The Chaotix and Shadow are already at New Megaopolis planning an attack." Sally said.
"All by themselves?!" Sonic freaked out. "We gotta help them! He's got Apple Bloom and the others!"
"We know." Applejack said. "We're all devastated here! Me and Rarity!"
"Hey, they've got Scoots as well!" Rainbow Dash said as she flapped her wings in mid-air. "We have to help them!"
"New Megaopolis is the capital city of Doctor Robotnik's Empire. It is also his main base. Storming in unprepared could lead to devastating casualties." Nicole said.
"But Eggman has no idea what he's using with Enerjak Tiara." Sonic said. "He could open up a rift on his own and probably attack your world too."
"Well, that could be a big problem for us." Rarity said. "But I'm going to New Megaopolis as well, Sonic. I will not let that horrible 'thing' lay a hoof on my Sweetie Belle."
"We're all going to New Megaopolis." Sally told Sonic.
"Without me?" He asked.
"You're in recovery, Sonic. You'll just be in the way of fire." Sally said to him again.
"But I'm Sonic the Hedgehog! The hero of Mobius. There's nothing I can't handle." He sits up again but strains himself more.
"Sonic, please. You'll die." Sally is trying to be serious. "I almost lost you back in the castle. I'm not losing you again." Sally tears and cries and Fluttershy comforts her.
"Sally..." Sonic speaks. "If there's anything I've learned from today, it's that nothing is more powerful than your own friend's strength. I've been kind of a jerk recently but when I met you, Rainbow Dash, I saw another way to be supportive with my friends. I had more power, I had more heart. All thanks to you. It doesn't matter how strong you really are or how weak, you and your friends are strong in numbers. You can enter the battlefield of New Megaopolis, Sally, but not without me. You can't leave a friend hanging no matter how hurt he or she is. You always be there for them. That's something I learned from these mysterious 'otherworlders' called ponies."
The ponies were heartfelt of his speech and Rainbow Dash actually sheds a tear but quickly wipes it away, hoping anyone didn't see her.
"Sally, leave me behind and you all get captured or worse. It's not the same without me." Sonic finishes his speech and Sally thinks it over.
"Okay." Sally said. "But you're still in no condition to fight."
"That won't be a problem." Said an awfully familiar voice. A magical rainbow flies in and picks up Sonic. The rainbow then engulfs him while everyone in the room watches. The rainbow explodes and Sonic is completely healed and refreshed. Sonic lands back on the ground, completely full of energy and smirks.
"All right! That's what I'm talking about!" Sonic said in confidence.
"But how in the world did-" Sally was about to ask but behind the team is a tall white pony with a colorful aura around her mane and tail.
Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash gasp and they kneel in respect, confusing the others around. "Hey, what's going on?" Knuckles asked.
"It's the princess." Rarity told him and everyone stared at Princess Celestia as she walks in with Twilight Sparkle by her side. She walks over to Sonic.
"So, you are Sonic the Hedgehog, is that right?" Celestia asked.
"Well, pleased to meet you, Your Majesty." Sonic said as he held his hand out.
Celestia giggled. "Princess Twilight managed to reach me when she was attacked by those against harmony."
"And what happened to them?" Tails asked.
"I managed to send them back to Equestria where they will serve trial for defying my order and for trying to harm the princess." She looks to Twilight.
"Yeah, but still... Enerjak Tiara is still out there and is already in Eggman's clutches." Knuckles said.
"Don't worry, Knuckles. The Princess and I managed to find a page in the book of Ancient Pony History on how we can reverse the spell." Twilight said as she holds the book up. "But we still don't have the Chaos Emeralds."
"They might still be back in the Chaos Chamber back in Downunda. We should head there." Knuckles said.
"You better hurry, you guys." Rotor said coming out of the lab. "Finitevus is on his way right now."
Knuckles and Twilight fly out to get there first. "Well, let's not keep him waiting then." Said Knuckles.
"I hope they'll be alright." Amy wondered.
"I hope so too, Amy." Celestia replied. "But Twilight was one of my faithful students, she'll be okay."
"A question, princess; Why did you help me when I was in bad shape?" Sonic asked.
"Anypony or anyone who believes in the magic of friendship has the heart of a true friend. You expressed your friendship to Princess Sally as a reminder that she always has someone to look out for." Celestia explained. "Sonic, you can fight, but you can't fight forever. You must find your inner strength and unlock it, just as you unlocked hers."
Sonic had his eyes closed for a while and opens them again memorizing the words Celestia said to him.
"But this fight is not over..."
"...We must contain Enerjak Tiara or our worlds are doomed." Said Celestia, as we cut over to New Megaopolis and inside Robotnik's base.
He holds Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo and Silver Spoon in individual Egg Grapes. "Ahh... precious little ponies. What kind of magic do you hold inside that could power my empire even more?"
"Let us go, you egghead!" Scootaloo screamed.
"Please don't hurt us." Silver Spoon said.
"Hurt you?" Eggman smiled. "Now why would I do that? You're part of my new plan to finish Sonic off. Snively! What's the percentage rate on charging the 'Enerjak-powered Egg Crab?"
Snively watches the entrapped Enerjak Tiara, inside an Egg Grape and it's absorbing her energy, charging up the new Egg Crab. "It's at 51%, uncle. It will be ready soon."
"Excellent!" Eggman holds his fist up. "Soon, the Freedom Fighters won't stand a chance against my new and improved destructive machine."
"You won't get away with this, you creepy... uhh... whatever you are." Sweetie Belle said.
"Oh I will." Eggman floats up to them on a flying elevator. "In fact... you, little marshmallow. I think you'd be the perfect test subject to try out my newest invention."
"Test subject?" Sweetie was confused. "What are you talking about?"
A mechanical arm grabs Sweetie Belle out of the Egg Grape and hovers over to a machine while Eggman watches. "Ever since my last defeat, this machine was butchered by Sonic. But now I have empowered it to a more stable and safe measure. I hope you find yourself comfortable in there, my pretty."
"Wait! What is that thing? No!" Sweetie Belle panicked as the arm places her in a glass tube and shuts her in. "Help!"
"Don't worry, dear. The roboticization process will only hurt for at least 5 seconds."
"Roboticization!?" Shocked Sweetie Belle and Eggman presses a button that activates the machine and engulfs Sweetie Belle in pain. "AGHHHH! RARITY!" Was her last word before being roboticized while Robotnik smiles sinisterly and the CMC watch in horror.
"But after the process my dear, 'Sweetie BOT', you won't feel a thing." Eggman said and out of the roboticizer comes Mecha Sweetie Belle. Eggman laughs maniacally while the CMC and Spoon witnessed in horror of what he has done.
To be continued...
This is probably the darkest chapter of the story I have made.
Enerjak Tiara may be in Doctor Robotnik's hands for now, but the Freedom Fighters must rescue the captured fillies from the horrors of his capital, New Megaopolis. How much time is left before Enerjak Tiara opens up a rift in time and space and where is Doctor Finitevus? The battle is now starting to heat up. Now with Princess Celestia in Sonic's world, everyone must work together and stop the chaotic destruction caused by Eggman's greed, but will they stand a chance against his new and terrifying forces?
