CHAOS IS MAGIC
Chapter 7: Siege in New Megaopolis
Flashback
Before the events in the Castle of the Two Sisters unfolded, G.U.N. Agent, Rouge the Bat was actually there first before the Freedom Fighters and Mane 6 arrived. Rouge swooped down and landed in front of the castle entrance. She starts recording her notes via wrist communicator.
"This is GUN agent Rouge the Bat. I have entered the perimeter of the mysterious castle in the Great Forest. Doesn't seem like anyone is around so I must be here first. Entering the castle right now." She moves the doors open and sees the place is a little ruined. "Interior of the castle seems dirty, probably of old age." She takes a look around the hallways. "Looks like no one is home. Not a creature in sight." She continues going down the long stair case. "Whoever made this castle really didn't settle for an elevator." She walks through the hall of hooves. "Sure is spooky down this hall. There are stuffed horse legs holding spires mounted on the walls. This is getting kinda boring. There's nothing in here that looks interesting."
"Huh?" Rouge spots an opened room and enters. She finds a large Chaos Syphon machine. "A Chaos Syphon?" Rouge examines it. "Seems to have been tampered, but it looks like Dark Legion tech. But how in the world did the Dark Legion built this castle?" Rouge spots a broken scepter on the ground and examines it, she recognizes the feature. "This symbol. It belongs in Casinopolis. But that must mean... Mogul was here. But why? And how did it get into this castle?" Rouge sees an opening through a wall that leads her to the library. "Hm... never was interested in books. Maybe they hold information."
She walks down the library admiring the shelves of books. And there are a lot of them to her surprise. "This place sure has a lot of books. I wonder how many years it took to put them all in one place." Suddenly Rouge trips over a book entitled "Ancient Pony History". "Hmm? What's this?" She picks up the book and opens it up. "These words... they don't seem to be of Ancient Mobians." She flips through pages. "Ponies? Ugh, as if I had time for girly stuff already. This book is just nothing but a bunch of... Huh?" Rouge spots a page that caught her interest. "Now what is that? The Alicorn of Chaos and Magic?" Rouge reads a bit of info on this as she sits down on a broken statue of a unicorn.
"Hmm... The Alicorn of Chaos and Magic, better known to pony lore as 'Chaosmare'? What? Is that even a word?" She continues reading. "Chaosmare was born a million moons before the rule of the unicorn king. Once a million moons have passed, Chaosmare will return and consume the entire time stream, making her own time of rule. The origin of this horrifying creature was the result of ancient unicorn time and dimensional travel magic gone wrong." Rouge takes a look at a cover art of what Chaosmare looks like. A dark coated alicorn with a purple mane, sharp teeth and blood red eyes. "This is no children's book I've ever read. What could this all mean?"
Rouge's wrist communicator beeps and sees on her radar that a group of people are on their way in the castle perimeter. "Looks like this bat's gotta fly." She tosses the book back to the pile where it would eventually be found and flies off.
End of Flashback.
Near the outskirts of New Megaopolis, Sonic the Hedgehog, Tails, Sally, Rotor, Bunnie, Antoine, Amy, Rainbow Dash, Applejack and Rarity stand over a cliff overlooking Eggman's city. Tails looks through with his binoculars to see what's going on.
"See anything, buddy?" Sonic asked Tails.
"The Chaotix are down there with Shadow, holding off the Egg Bots in the main hub of the city." Tails says as he sees. "And there's Doctor Robotnik's main base of operations. It's gonna take a lot of firepower to bust through those reinenforced gates. Eggman was smart enough to put one of those in, considering how he always gets things done."
"And how do you propose we should break through these gates?" Rarity asked. "I've already got my hooves dirty and I'm not getting them any dirtier."
"No worries, guys." Rotor shows everyone a giant drilling machine. "My new compact driller will go through any material made so tough."
"Wow!" Dashie is amazed by the machine. "That is so cool!"
"It's so... too classy." Applejack said. "You folks use way too much technology. Why not bust through those gates with a log or somethin'?"
"And whaddya think a log is gonna do to those gates, miss farm girl?" Bunnie asked.
"Ah was just sayin'." Applejack said as she lacked the enthusiasm of modern tech. "Ah don't really fancy machinery." (See S2E15 of MLP:FIM)
"Well, machinery is all we're gonna need if we're going to save the Crusaders." Sonic told her.
"Oh, I do hope Sweetie Belle is okay." Rarity worries. "To think of all of the worst things that horrendous creature is doing to her, *breathes* I'LL DESTROY HIM!"
"Hey, I got dibs on Eggman, you guys focus on keeping those forces at bay." Sonic said.
Rarity is still worried and Applejack comforts her. "Aw, don't you worry, Rarity. Ah'm sure Sweetie Belle is okay. Ah'm worried about Apple Bloom. And Scootaloo. And even Silver Spoon. Ah hope they're okay."
"I hope you're right, Applejack. I really do." Rarity looks on at the city.
"I hope nothing bad has happened to her."
But in Eggman's main lair, he has transformed Sweetie Belle into a robot, now dubbed Mecha Sweetie Belle. The CMC were horrified as Eggman laughed. "Ho! Hohohohoho! Success! A brilliant success! My roboticization ray has never been so precious until now. With my new henchbot, nothing will stand in my way! And once my Chaos Pony has been drained and powered my new creation, I will be unstoppable!"
"You... you monster!" Scootaloo tears up in fear. "How could you?!"
"She was our friend!" Apple Bloom berated.
"She was my friend up until now." Silver Spoon said.
"Oh, boo hoo! I'm actually going to cry." Eggman mocked them. "Hahahahahaha! You short headed pack of ne'er do-wells don't see how my genius can change the world." Music starts playing and Eggman's floating platform rises and hovers around. "I have the greatest mind in the whole world and I'd like to appreciate it as you appreciate my new world order."
"Huh?" The CMC exclaimed.
Eggman then breaks into a song.
The story begins with who's gonna win, knowing that danger lies within.
Yes, I know may not be a singing type, but I cannot hold in this irresistible hype
[Apple Bloom and Scootaloo look at each other in confusion.]
I have a very strong and very hard past, but all that seems to be very outclassed
But ever since that I have led a better life, some machines and robots that give me my strife
And now I march to the edge of my future, where I will deliver my Eggman culture
HIT IT!
[An Egg Bot hits a jukebox robot and rock music plays. Eggman dances around the beat while the captive fillies watch within the Egg Grapes.]
My story begins with who's gonna win, me or the hedgehog that gives me no whim
I'm plotting my schemes wherever I go, to make the land into my gizmo
[Music changes beat.]
Aboard the ark, the genius at heart
I have my own intentions, I want to unlock my mystery... that has my emotion
I AM THE EGGMAN! That's what I am
I AM THE EGGMAN! I have the master plan
[Eggman then goes over the plan to them while the beat plays in the background.]
So here's my plan. The Chaos Pony I have captured will not only provide me with the weapon I will use to destroy the Freedom Fighters but will also supply my city with enough power to drain the life out of Mobius.
Once I have enough life force I will launch an all out attack on all major cities in the world and they will surrender to their new leader.
Once I become King of Mobius I will bring order and tyranny across the land, starting with the public execution of the Freedom Fighters. Going so far as to frame the Acorn Family for treason and exile them from the world.
A brilliant plan at best and the best thing is; it's fool proof!
I AM THE EGGMAN! That's what I am
I AM THE E.G.G.M.A.N.
And I have the master plan!
[The music plays an instrumental solo while Eggman shows another part of his plan.]
And best of all... since I knew other worlds exists including yours... I conquer your world as well.
[AB, Scoots and SS are more horrified than shocked.]
I will conquer the world with my tools, and you will play by my rules
I... will... succeed in my plan, there... won't... be any other clan
I will be victorious, and the world bow by my genius
Oh yes! It is a great big crime, and it's so very hard to make another rhyme
Who sings so much and never gets tired, this little song is getting rather wired... no I mean... weird... ugh!
[His song comes to a conclusion as his Egg Bots dance along.]
I AM THE... EGGMAN! That's what I am
I AM... THE EGGMAAAAAAAN! I have the master plan
Oh, do I ever have the master plan
This is... The Ultimate Eggman Emipre! Ahahahahahaha... Ahhhhahahahahahahaaaahahaha!
[End of song.]
And the Egg Bots fall to the ground in exhaustion, even Robotnik himself as he flops on the floor. "I think I sung so loud I broke a vocal chord."
Snively then enters his lair, running up to him in panic. "Uncle Robotnik!" He shouted out.
"Snively..." Eggman got up to his feet. "I thought you were keeping a look out of the city."
"This is urgent. The Chaotix have already pushed their attack on the city!" Snively told him. "And Shadow is with them!"
Eggman glared but then grins. "Deploy all units to battle stations! Send in the Eggman Infantry! We're going to push these incompetent fools back! Sweetie Bot, you know what to do." He talks to Mecha Sweetie Belle. "Make sure none of these fools leave my city alive."
Her eyes glow red in acknowledgement and she flies off with jets on her robotic hooves. "And no matter who you fight, make sure they stop breathing." Eggman added as he laughs again all with the captive CMC looking down in sadness. "Snively! Get my Egg Crab ready!" As he walks out of the chamber with Snively.
"It's time to teach that rodent some respect."
In the heart of New Megaopolis. Shadow and the Chaotix are fighting off hordes of Egg Bots.
"Get out of my way!" Shadow yelled as he stomps on an flying Egg Bot.
A couple of Egg Smashers move in to crush Charmy and Julie-Su but they dodge away from their concrete crushing hands. Mighty then jumps in and pulls out one of the smasher's arms and swings it against him, crashing into a building. Charmy flies around an army of Egg Bots shooting lasers at him but his flying allows them to miss and Espio takes one of them out with a ninja shuriken. Vector slams his fists down on one of the Egg Bots but an Egg Smasher walks up to him while he is oblivious. The smasher attempted to crush him but Shadow spin dashes through the chest, destroying it. Shadow lands back to the ground while Vector thanked him.
Julie-Su and Espio are on the other end punching and blasting the other Egg Bots while a Giant Egg Mech marches it's way into the city.
Inside the Chaos Chamber in Downunda, Knuckles and Twilight Sparkle investigate for any remainder of the Chaos Emeralds.
"I felt it's power. The Chaos Emeralds were here." Knuckles said.
"Then, where are they?" Twilight asked.
"If you ask me, Doctor Finitevus must have been here to get them back." Said Knuckles while he examines the remains of the Chaos Syphon machine.
"And what in the world of Mobius is he planning to do with them?" Twilight asked again.
Knuckles sees that the Chaos Syphon was used to extract the energy of the Chaos Emeralds. "This Chaos Syphon machine was built by the Dark Legion to harness the emeralds' power. So where would Finitevus go to give the emeralds their-" He realizes. "Oh no..."
Knuckles flies out of the Chaos Chamber leaving Twilight clueless of what he thought. "What is it? Knuckles?! Wait!" Twilight follows him.
The Chaotix are still fighting Eggman's forces but they are being overmatched by their ever-growing numbers.
"How many more robots does Eggman have?!" Vector asked.
"It's like he spent months building an army of them." Espio said.
"Or years!" Mighty added as he punches his fist through the flying Egg Bot.
More Egg Bots fly in and the Egg Mech moves in, firing it's laser beam at the Chaotix but they get away from harm. "LOOK OUT!" Julie-Su yelled. The Egg Mech continues firing it's laser at them while they stay under cover.
"We're doomed!" Charmy states the situation they are in.
"If Sonic were here, Charmy, would he give up?" Julie-Su questioned him.
"No?" He answers.
"No. That's why we continue to fight!" Julie-Su peeks out of cover and fires her projectile gun, but gets back in cover as the Mech fires another flaming laser. "I take it back, we're doomed." She said with a terrified expression.
Back on the Cliff, Tails runs over to the dust cover covering an object and pulls it off, revealing his trademark airplane; The Tornado. Sonic and the others are amazed.
"No way!" Sonic is more amazed than the others. "You upgraded the Tornado, Tails!"
"I sure did. I made a few modifications unlike the original model. Hopefully it can be protected by the lasers being shot out." Tails said.
Rarity walks up to the plane and sees her reflection on the shine. "Why, Tails... This a real delicate marvel you have made."
"All right, all right! Less aweing, more action!" Rainbow Dash insisted. "We gotta get down there and help them now!"
"Right back at ya!" Sonic agrees. "Me and Dash will handle things on the ground. Sally; you, 'Twan and Bunnie are our back up."
"And Rotor, we're counting on you." Sally said to Rotor as he hopped into his Driller. "Without that machine, we can't break through the gates."
"Tails!" Sonic looked to his buddy, starting up the Tornado.
"I've got this, Sonic!" Tails said. "Amy! Rarity! Applejack!"
Amy jumped into the second seat behind Tails while Rarity and Applejack hopped on to the plane's wings. "Oh my. Are you sure it's safe to just be standing on the wings. What if I slip?" Rarity asked of the topic of riding the Tornado along the wings.
"Don't worry, Rarity. The Tornado's flight control has maximum stability, enough to break through turbulence. Besides, Sonic had no trouble riding on the wings every time we fly out." Tails assured.
"We're ready when you are, Sonic." Applejack said and the teams are ready.
"All right! C'mon, RD!" Sonic jumps off the cliff and Rainbow Dash dives down with him. "Time to juice!" And the Tornado takes off. Rotor starts the driller and starts heading down the hill with Sally's team riding along.
Over at Angel Island. The Altar of the Master Emerald.
Locke had managed to repair the damage done by Dr. Finitevus by piecing the Master Emerald back together. He sits down behind the Master Emerald with his eyes closed. But then he senses a presence and opens his eyes to see his enemy.
"Hello, Locke." Greeted Doctor Finitevus as he walks forward. "You're looking healthy."
Locke gets up and glares down at him. "You caused an amount of grief on this day, Finitevus. I will not forgive you for this."
"True... but let's not forget. Enerjak's awakening was my wrong doing. Giving that power to such a weak but strong pony was my intention of conquering two worlds at once."
"Two worlds. Do you have any idea what you have done? You're causing the imbalance of time and space."
"And were you just sitting down there with your precious Master Emerald just waiting for the inevitable, or are you praying to the gods that created it?"
"What are you talking about?" Locke walks down the stairs as this conversation heats up. "Awakening Enerjak was always your obsession but... what do you mean 'gods'?"
"Unicorn Magic and Chaos Energy never do mix together, but they were once fueled together by a powerful god. Half alicorn, half Chaos. Before even the rise of Perfect Chaos was created."
"You speak of nonsense, villain! Away with you!" Locke charged at Finitevus to throw a punch but he disappeared and reappeared behind him.
"Don't you know, Locke? Didn't your ancestors tell you? Didn't Dimitri mentioned it when he was Enerjak? It happened a very long time ago. A million years in fact." Finitevus kicks Locke into a pillar as the conversation continues. "It happened in our world and the world where the ponies come from. A dimensional time travel experiment gone wrong. The birth of an even more powerful god before the alicorns or the echidnas."
Locke and Finitevus then engage each other in direct combat.
Back in Knothole, outside Freedom HQ, Princess Celestia, Spike and Fluttershy stayed behind. They see a Super Warp Ring appear and out, comes flying out is a dark blue alicorn with blue aura surrounding her mane.
"Princess Luna!" Fluttershy exclaimed as the princess of the night exited the Warp Ring and walked up to her sister.
"I got here as fast as I could, thanks to your message, sister." Princess Luna said. "Is it true? Is she really...?"
"Yes." Celestia said. "If we don't hurry soon, the Freedom Fighters will surely fail and Enerjak Tiara will destroy the space-time continuum."
"Well then, what are we waiting for? The glory of battle awaits us!" Luna strives for battle but then notices that the Mane 6 sans Fluttershy is missing. "Where are Princess Twilight Sparkle and her friends?"
"Twilight is with one of the Chaotix finding the Chaos Emeralds and Applejack, Rarity and Rainbow Dash are helping the Freedom Fighters fight off the oppressors in New Megaopolis." Celestia explained.
"Then... where is Pinkie Pie?" Luna questioned.
Celestia noticed that now. "Spike? Where is Pinkie Pie?"
"Oh... Sally said she's in one of the rooms of HQ. But she seems to be upset." Spike answered.
"Upset?" Confused Celestia.
"Of what topic?" Luna questioned.
"I don't know. She said she doesn't want to talk to anypony right now." Spike said. "And I know for a reason that she would never say something like that before."
Celestia then walks over to Spike. "Take her to me."
Back on Angel Island, the intense fight continues between Finitevus and Locke. Finitevus shoots purple beams at the running Locke who avoids them. Locke digs out a large stone and tosses it at Finitevus who dodges with a jump backward. Finitevus shoots more beams at him and Locke jumps over to dodge them. The two then engage into a brutal hand to hand combat. They converse while doing so.
"What senseless talk are you blabbing on about? Speak!" Locke throws punches while Finitevus deflects them.
"You don't understand the true motive of Magic and Chaos." Finitevus fights back. "Magic and Chaos were made together at the same time and the same world for something that both can appreciate. True peace."
Locke punches Finitevus's face and lands far back from him. He was punched so hard he spits out some salvia from his mouth. "Is that all you got, Locke? I'm disappointed."
"You monster! You don't care about peace! All you care about is death and destruction!" Locke attacks him more but Finitevus dodges and elbows Locke's back and Finitevus punches him in the gut. Locke lies on the ground for a moment as Finitevus brags about the oncoming destruction.
"You think I'm a fool? A monster? I've learned so much and here you call my theory senseless?" Finitevus teleports to him and kicks him to the altar. "Magic and Chaos were born to be together. Their fusion will bring upon the destruction of both the worlds and the universe."
"What do you mean?" Locke question while he got up weakly.
"The Master Emerald's energy. The Alicorn Amulet. They are both the key to the universe's ultimate demise. In a matter of hours, the whole world will meet it's conclusion, and all because I wasn't able to stop it."
"Stop it?" Confused Locke.
"I can save the world, if I just destroy the soul of Enerjak using the telepathic connection of the Master Emerald." Finitevus explained. "Of course, upon doing so will not just destroy Enerjak for good..."
"But doing so will kill it's host as well." Shocked Locke.
"A small price to pay, for the cause of one death to save the world." Added Finitevus
"She is just a child, you monster!" Locke screamed.
"She's the monster. You have not seen what sadistic power she has. It's too much and it must be destroyed. The destruction of my creation will be my undoing! Now, either get out of my way or die, you old crone!" Finitevus charges at Locke but suddenly Finitevus is frozen in place by a purple magical aura. "What?!"
"Not so fast, Finitevus!" Twilight Sparkle flew in along with Knuckles.
"The Princess and the Guardian. An unlikely surprise." Finitevus smile.
The Chaotix back in New Megaopolis continue to fight the Eggman Mechs as they begin overpowering them. The Egg Mech has Charmy in it's clutches and was about to fire a fatal beam on him. But then, a blue beam destroys the Mech and it falls to the ground. Charmy is unharmed and looks to see the Tornado coming into view. It was Rarity who shot the mech with her horn. "Fighting is not really my thing, I'm more into fashion, but if you put one touch on cute little Charmy, I'll rip you to pieces!" She cried in anger.
The Chaotix see the Tornado too. "Finally! Backup has arrived." Vector cried out.
Four Egg Bots fly after the Tornado but Applejack tosses four stones into the air and bucks each one of them at one of them, denting them and self-destructing. Applejack rears up with glee. "Yee-Haw! How'd you like them apples?"
"Focus, Applejack! This is some serious carnage they're pulling out!" Tails said.
He then activates the Tornado's dash board and shoots missiles at the Egg Mechs destroying them. Sonic rushes in along with Rainbow Dash.
"So what's the plan?" Dash asked. "You gonna kick some metal butt and take down this Robotnik guy?"
"That's the plan." Sonic said. "You think you got the moves to take down these Egg Bots?"
"Heh. Moves. I'll show you 'moves'!" Dashie grins and flies straight at the Egg Bots. She spins around so fast to create a tornado. It sucks up all of the Egg Smashers and Egg Bots and shoots them off into a distance. Sonic is amazed by this.
"Cool!" Sonic jumps up and spin dashes down a curved slide and right towards an Egg Mech. He shreds through it's chest and out bouncing along four more Egg Smashers and destroying them.
Dashie saw what he did and her expression was in awe. "Wow! That was awesome!" Dash then looked around for a moment and starts acting all professional. "I mean... it was all right. It just needs to be about 20% cooler."
Sonic lands in front of an Egg Smasher and jumps up avoiding it's slam attacks and land on it's head. Sonic taunts the giant Egg Mech with a silly face and jumps away from it's crush attack, crushing the Egg Smasher instead. Sonic in the air, performs his spin dash and slices through the Egg Mech. Sonic lands back on the ground with a smirk on his face as the Mech explodes behind him. Rainbow Dash is more amazed than ever. "How's that for 20% cool? I'd say it's about 60%."
"Whoa." Rainbow converses with Sonic. "You are probably the most awesomest, most daring, most coolest hedgehog I have ever seen in my whole life. You know, you should come by to my world one day. You could definitely show off those moves to the Wonderbolts. Won't Spitfire be jealous."
"Thanks. But unfortunately, we won't have any time in the world to do that if we don't hurry and stop Eggman from draining Enerjak and making it his ultimate doomsday device." Sonic reminded.
"Oh... right. I knew that." Dash said.
Sonic and RD speed down the road to the Eggdome but unfortunately for them the gates have sealed the entrance off.
"Agh! There's no way we're getting through that layer of metal." Sonic complained. "We need Rotor, right away."
Rotor is in the city and he drives the Driller through the city, plowing through the robots. Julie-Su and the Chaotix are still pinned down by the Egg Mech shooting at them but then Bunnie flies by and slices through the mech by going through it's chest, self-destructing in the process.
"We're clear! Move out, Chaotix!" Julie-Su commanded and they push forward. They continue to fight while Sally, Bunnie and Antoine joins with them to fight the remaining Egg Bots. Rotor continues plowing through and even firing off some missiles at the Egg Mechs.
One of the Egg Smashers jumps onto the driller and tries to dent it, but Rotor rams the driller into a wall, crushing the robot to pieces and continues on.
Back at Freedom HQ, inside the room where Pinkie Pie is.
The pink pony is not herself at all after she woke up and lies on the bed in sadness. Fluttershy, Spike, Celestia and Luna enter the room and see her just moping in the dark.
"Um... Pinkie Pie?" Fluttershy talked.
"Go away." She calmly responded. "I don't want to talk to anypony right now."
"Um... well... okay. But, we were just concerned about you. You're not... well... how should I put this? Um... so cheery."
Pinkie paused but talked anyway. "I'm not cheery. I'll never be cheery. I don't deserve to be cheery. I don't deserve anything. It's all my fault."
Fluttershy remembers. "Pinkie... what happened at Sugarcube Corner wasn't your fault."
"It is. It's my own fault. It's because I'm a crazy party pony who ruins other ponies that have birthday parties when it really meant to them. I ruined the Cake Twins' party and got fired for it. And then they are missing and now Mr. and Mrs. Cake probably won't want to talk to me anymore. They'll hate me forever! For ever and ever! All because I never learned self-control." Pinkie sheds a tear in sadness. "I don't to talk to anyone anymore. Just leave me alone and find some other party pony to be your friend."
Fluttershy failed to convince her and walks out. "Oh... okay."
Princess Celestia then walks in and tries to convince Pinkie more. "Pinkie Pie. I know what you did may have been an accident and I feel sorry for you. But Mr. Cake is right, you should learn self-control. Even party ponies like yourself need a break once and a while. But know this, the Cake Twins' disappearance is not an accident. The moment you realize your mistake was just a test to see if you actually care about the ones that matter. You may have lost your job for a short time, Pinkie, but that doesn't mean you can change to be better. You can be who you are right now and still work, only if you can keep your urge of parties at a minimum."
Pinkie starts slowly looking on the bright side while Celestia talks.
"Equestria needs laughter. Equestria needs happiness. Equestria NEEDS Pinkie Pie."
Pinkie starts to get up from her bed and looks at Celestia while Flutters and Luna watch from the door.
Back on Angel Island, Knuckles places the seven Chaos Emeralds around the Master Emerald while Twilight Sparkle holds Finitevus in place.
"I've got the Chaos Emeralds all around the Master Emerald. What's next in the book, Twilight?"
Twilight uses her horn to levitate the book and reads it while she continues holding Finitevus with her magic. "Okay, next we need to recite the ritual in reverse. What does that mean?"
"It means you must recite the ritual by saying the exact opposite of Finitevus's Hex." Locke said.
Finitevus laughs. "Do you really think such of that will work, Twilight Sparkle? Do you believe it will work?"
"Shut up!" Knuckles yelled as he placed the last emerald around the Master Emerald and it glows.
"You're making a mistake, Twilight Sparkle. Even a princess makes a mistake." Finitevus speaks sadistically and Twilight glares at him.
The Tornado flies through the city and more Egg Bots fly after it.
"Incoming Egg Bots!" Applejack yelled.
"No problem! We can lose them!" Tails said as he steers the plane through a tight squeeze between two buildings and the Egg Bots crash into them. Once the plane exits the squeeze Rarity breathes from the adrenaline.
"Oh my goodness! Are you trying to give me a heart attack?" Rarity yelled to Tails.
"Err... Sorry about that." Tails apologizes.
"Tails! Look out!" Amy screamed as a missile hits the Tornado and the tail is on fire.
"WE'RE HIT!" Tails screamed and the Tornado loses altitude. Applejack, Amy and Rarity scream and hold on for dear life as the plane plummets to the ground, but Tails tries his hardest to ensure a safe landing. He pulls the control handle as hard as he can to lift the plane up. "Hang on, guys!"
Back to the Chaotix, they continue fighting the robots but they get overmatched again. Mighty is piled on by a bunch of Egg Bots and he tries hard to knock them away but they pile on him more, covering him up. Espio gets knocked down by a SWATBot and Vector loses an arm wrestle with an Egg Smasher. Charmy is surrounded by Egg Bots with their turrets aimed at him and Julie-Su gets overwhelmed by the other Egg Bots and her projectile gun runs out of juice. She was just about done for as they were about to jump on her but just then a blast of confetti destroys them both, leaving JS unharmed.
More confetti blasts out of a cannon and they destroy more Egg Bots, SWATBots and Egg Smashers, freeing Mighty and saving Espio, Vector and Charmy from certain death. Over a pile of broken rubble stands Pinkie Pie and her makeshift tank with Party Cannons. "Hey, guys! Did you start the party without me? No problem, I never leave home without my Party Cannons!" Pinkie races down and shoots robots down with confetti blasts and the Chaotix continue to move forward.
Rotor manages to arrive on time at the entrance to the Eggdome with Sonic and Rainbow Dash waiting. "Hold on, guys! This will be a snap!" He said and Rotor activates the drill. The driller was about to go through the wall but suddenly the gates electrifies the driller and Rotor inside.
"Rotor!" Sonic screamed and Rainbow Dash quickly got Rotor out of the driller before it explodes into pieces. "Dang it!" Sonic glared at the ground in frustration. "That was our only way in."
"Now what?" RD asked.
But suddenly to their surprise, the gates melt away into thin air. "What the?" Rotor is confused by this. "What happened?"
Sonic looks back and remarks with a smirk. "I'd say we have a guardian angel. Come on, let's get in and stop Robotnik!"
"Alright!" Dashie cheered and the two raced inside. The reason on how the gates disappeared is revealed as it turns out the billboard that has Eggman on it happens to be Discord who made the doors melt away.
The Tornado is still on it's crash course as the girls continue to scream and Tails manages to tilt the plane up and lands on the wheels. But due to the pressure the wheels break off and the plane slides on it's belly. "Oh no!" Tails freaked out. "At this rate, we'll definitely crash into something!" The plane was about to collide into a wall but Applejack gets out her lasso and swings it around. She tosses it and it hooks onto a broken lamppost and pulls onto it to slow the plane down, while the belly screeches as it slides. The team shut their eyes for their embrace while Applejack tries her hardest. Luckily the plane came to a full stop and the plane was just an inch towards the wall. Tails opens his eyes and sighs. "That was close."
Rarity quickly then jumped down to the ground and kissed it in relief. "Oh sweet ground!" She probably didn't have a good flying experience. "How I miss to stand on you once again!" She continue to kiss it but realizes that it is dirty and spits out the dirt. She looks to the team. "I am never riding on your flying machine ever. So help me, Celestia!" She cried.
"Tails!" Nicole called on Tails' watch.
"What's the update, Nicole?"
"The Eggdome has been breached. Sonic and Rainbow Dash are on their way to Doctor Robotnik, but I can feel a powerful tech in it's presence. It could be Enerjak Tiara."
"We gotta help them and fast!" Applejack said.
"Don't worry, guys. Sonic's got this all under control." Tails assured.
"Don't worry?!" Rarity questioned. "Sweetie Belle and her friends are in there! I'm not going to rest until my dear sweet sister is unharmed!" Rarity galloped straight to the Eggdome!
"Rarity!" Applejack called out and tries to follow her.
"Applejack, wait!" Amy follows but more Egg Bots get in her way and she whacks them with her hammer. "Get away from me, you junk heaps!" Tails helps fight with her.
Inside the Eggdome, Sonic and Rainbow Dash enter a wide dark room.
"Hello? Doctor Egghead? You in here?" Dashie called out. The two walk in looking around the place. "Whoa... this place is pretty creepy."
"Don't get your hopes up, kiddo." Sonic said as confident as always.
"How's is it that you're not scared of anything?" Dash asked.
"What's to be scared of? I grew up fighting Robotnik from the beginning." Sonic said.
A voice then boomed, frightening Dashie a little bit but Sonic glared into the dark. "The only thing you should be scared of, rodent, is the cold embrace of your demise."
The lights opened and they reveal a giant crab-like robot, and Doctor Eggman is piloting it. "Welcome. I've been waiting for you. Hah! First a hedgehog and now a flying pony. That will be two defeats for me in one day."
"The only one here who's gonna be defeated is you, Eggman!" Sonic said and Rainbow Dash glares.
"Oh, really? We'll see about that." Eggman starts up his machine. "My Egg Crab is powered by the limitless energy harnessed from Enerjak Tiara. If you plan on making your last wishes, Sonic, I'd make them now, before my machine squishes you into a blue mush."
"Just try it, Egghead!" Sonic encouraged and the robot moves it's legs forward. The claw comes plummeting down to Sonic but he and Rainbow Dash dodged. Sonic and RD battle the Egg Crab.
The Egg Crab shoots heat seeking missiles at the duo but RD uses her agility to dodge them and she races towards the Egg Crab only to be caught in it's claw and she yelps. "RD!" Sonic gasped and he spin dashes right at the claw, slicing it off and setting RD free. Sonic homing attacks the Egg Crab's weak spot and speeds back down on the floor avoiding the missiles. Sonic speeds up a wall and dodges more missiles and homing attacks each missile to get to Eggman and hits the weak point again. Eggman is getting angry because of this. "Rrrrgh! He's not gonna get away with this!" He exclaimed.
As the fight continues, Rarity and Applejack galloped into the Egg Grape chamber where the CMC are being held.
"Sweetie Belle!" Rarity called out for her. "Are you all right?"
"Apple Bloom! Scootaloo! Where are y'all?" Applejack cried out too.
"Up here!" Apple Bloom cried from above and the two spot CMC up high of the chamber.
"Hang on, girls! We're getting you outta here!" Assured Applejack.
"Where's Sweetie Belle?" Rarity notices she's not with them.
"That's the thing." Silver Spoon tried to explain. "Sweetie Belle's..."
Suddenly, the walls explode behind Rarity and Applejack and they look to see a robot coming in. Mecha Sweetie Belle reveals herself. "Sweetie? Is that you?" Rarity talks in confusion. Sweetie Bot then scans at Rarity while she tries to reach out to her. "Oh my goodness... what happened to you? Sweetie Belle?" Her scans come up negative.
"Target confirmed." Sweetie suddenly said. "Proceeding to exterminating hostile intruders."
"What in tarnat-" In a quick flash Sweetie rams Applejack off the railing and gets tangled up in a bunch of cords.
"Sweetie! What are you doing?" Rarity is shocked by her actions and Sweetie Bot turns to Rarity. "Wait! Sweetie Belle, what are you doing? It's me, your sister, Rarity. I don't want to fight you. Not again. Please."
Sweetie tackles Rarity through the wall into the next room. Sweetie gets up and Rarity's mane is messed up. But she doesn't care about that right now. "Sweetie, don't hurt me. Please!" Sweetie punches Rarity in the face and she crashes into a pile of junk, covered in more filth. "Don't do this, Sweetie. What ever that Eggman did to you, please don't hurt me. Please, Sweetie!" But she still doesn't listen.
"Confirmed target. Proceeding to eliminate!"
"Sweetie! NO!" Rarity begged as she sheds tears and Sweetie Bot proceeds to give her a brutal pounding. Punching her and kicking her in every place of her body, ending it with a buck to the face and she lands on the ground. Sweetie then walks up to her. "Target is still active. Preparing to destroy." More robotic words from Sweetie Belle and Rarity cries. "*sniff* I'm so sorry... Sweetie Belle... forgive me for what I'm about to do... please. I have no choice."
Rarity quickly gets back up on her hooves and charges straight at Sweetie Bot with a tear dripping from her eye. She rams her robotic sister with her head and breaks through the wall. Rarity proceeds to damage her with her magic and prowess and finishes it with a buck to her head, damaging the circuitry in her head. Rarity bucks her one more time and it falls to the ground, dead. Applejack manages to climb back up to safety to see that Rarity has defeated Sweetie Bot but is a bit saddened by this tragedy.
"I'm sorry... You mean more to me than anything else in the world... I'm so sorry... Sweetie... Belle... I love you..." Rarity sobs at her loss while Applejack and the CMC watch in sadness.
Rarity's tear drop then drips off her face and lands on Sweetie Bot's face. Suddenly the dead robot rises up in the air and Rarity wipes away her tears and sees what's happening. A rainbow wraps around Sweetie Bot and it completely deroboticizes her, it also healed her back to health and it once again flesh and blood. Rarity, Applejack and the fillies are awestruck at what they are seeing. And the rainbow gently places Sweetie Belle back to the ground and Rarity galloped towards her.
"Sweetie Belle?" Rarity tries to shake her to wake up. "Sweetie? Oh dear sister, please wake up." Rarity tears up again. Soon enough, Sweetie Belle moans in pain and opens her bright green eyes and stares at the awestruck Rarity. "Rarity?" She uttered. "I just had the weirdest dream." She said. "I was fighting with you and then you said..."
Rarity, happy as ever, hugs Sweetie Belle so tight. "Oh Sweetie Belle!" She cried. "You gave me quite a fright! Don't ever do that again."
"What have I been doing and where are we?" Sweetie asked.
Applejack walks up to her along with the released fillies. "Ya mean... you don't remember a thing?"
"All I remember was being with my friends in the castle and everything else a blur." SB said. "I hope I didn't do anything to worry you, Rarity."
"It's no harm, dear. All that matters is that your safe." Rarity and SB embrace each other with a hug.
"Wow, first she was a robot and now she's not a robot." Scootaloo said.
"Who could have done such a thing turn her back?" Silver Spoon asked.
Behind the Egg Grape control system is Discord as he was the one who used his magic to turn Sweetie Belle back to normal and he winks at the reader.
Inside the Eggdome, the Chaotix and Freedom Fighters charge through the hall with many other robots in their pursuit. But Shadow jumps in and throws Chaos Spears at them, destroying them. The team then presses on and enter through the doors to find the chamber where Enerjak Tiara is, still encapsulated in a bubble.
"Look! There she is!" Vector pointed out.
"C'mon, team! Let's go and get her." Sally ordered but they are stopped by Snively as he enters the room piloting an Egg Viper.
"Get a load of this, Freedom Fighters!" Snively shoots bullets at them and they avoid the line of fire. Julie-Su, Vector, Espio, Charmy and Mighty hide behind one barricade while Sally, Tails, Amy, Rotor, Pinkie Pie, Bunnie and Antoine hind behind another from the bullet fire. But Shadow skates into the skirmish and Snively tries to shoot out at Shadow too. "You think you can defeat my Egg Viper, Shadow?"
"I don't think, Snively. I know." Shadow jumps up and spin dashes the Egg Viper all around. But Snively knocks Shadow down and he prepares to destroy him with a stomp of it's tail. But Shadow holds his hand out and taps into the metal of the Egg Viper. "CHAOS-" He uttered but then suddenly, Shadow and Snively disappeared in the blink of an eye, confusing the team.
"Hey, where did Shadow go?" Vector asked.
"He just disappeared!" Amy exclaimed.
"Wow! And those were some amazing effects!" Pinkie praised.
"We can worry about Shadow later. Right now, we have to contain Enerjak Tiara, now!" Sally ordered.
Back on Angel Island, Rouge flies on over and spots Knuckles and Locke about to recite the ritual with the Chaos Emerald's and the Master Emerald. Twilight continues to hold Finitevus in place as she reads the book.
"Okay! Go! Say it!" Twilight ordered them and they hold their arms out.
"The servers are the seven Chaos." Locke and Knuckles spoke. "Chaos is power, power enriched by the heart. The controller exists to unify the Chaos." The Master Emerald glows immensely with green light.
"What's happening now?" Locke asked.
"Stop!" Rouge comes flying down and Knuckles spots her.
"Rouge?"
Back in the Eggdome, The Egg Crab has it's grasp on Rainbow Dash and she cries for Sonic. "HELP, SONIC!" And Sonic spin dashes through the claw, releasing Dashie. The two speedsters continue their battle as the Egg Crab is just on the edge of breaking down. Sonic spin dashes all around it while the claw deflects his spin dash and he falls back down.
"Give it up, Eggman! You're toast!" Sonic demanded.
"Yeah! Topped with Zap Apple jam, Egghead!" Dashie taunted with him.
"You fiends! I'm not finished yet!" Eggman resists defeat. "I'll pound you all to the ground once my machine reaches full power." He then looks at the power meter of his robot and it drains, much to his shock. "What? How could this be? The energy I have taken is draining?!" The Egg Crab then becomes heavy and much harder to control.
"Hey, Eggman... it looks like your little do-hickey is on the fritz." Sonic said. "So much for your 'master plan'."
The Egg Crab then tries to strike at Sonic but he jumps away. "SHUT UP, RODENT! I WILL DESTORY YOU! AND I WILL BE VICTORIOUS! I AM THE EGG-"
"Blah, blah, blah!" Dashie gets tired of this. "Let's finish this!" She speeds up right at him.
"No- wait! Get back, you flying hair-ball!" Eggman begged but Dashie Sonic Rainbooms the Egg Crab and it pushes back to an electric wall and it shocks the robot. "No!"
"This one's all mine, Dash!" Sonic said as speeds right at Eggman too and spin dashes towards him.
"I. HATE. THAT. HEDGEHOG!" Eggman screamed as Sonic pierces through the robot and it explodes. Eggman however escapes away in his flying pod, while the Egg Crab burns up in flames. "I hate that rodent! I hate that pony! And I hate losing! I'll be back, Sonic! I swear it! I'll be back with an even bigger army of Egg Bots and you will-"
"Ahh, blow it out your ear, Egghead!" Rainbow Dash bucks Eggman away, sending him flying afar.
Dashie flies on over to Sonic. "That was SUPER awesome, Sonic." She said.
"You're not so bad yourself, RD." He thumbs up to her. "Nice job. You and I make an unstoppable team."
Dashie then goes into fangirl mode upon hearing that. "We are? Omigosh! Omigosh! Omigosh! Omigosh! Omigosh! Omigosh! Omigosh! Omigosh!" She does flips and zig zags in the air while Sonic chuckles.
The two then bump fists/hooves together as sign of their friendship. "Now, only one last thing to do." He reminds Dash once more and she nods in determination, and the two speed off to the Egg Chamber.
Back on Angel Island, Rouge tries to tell Knuckles, Twilight and Locke the problem. "You realize what happens if you try to banish Enerjak using the Master Emerald, right?"
"Yeah, what's it to you?" Knuckles questioned.
"You're dooming us all." Rouge said.
"Knuckles? What is she talking about?" Twilight asked.
"Well, purple, if you had paid attention from before; if you entrap Enerjak into the Master Emerald again, then there's no stopping her." Rouge warned.
"Stopping who?" Twilight asked.
"No!" Finitevus disagrees. "Enerjak cannot be contained! He must be destroyed!"
"We're not killing Diamond Tiara!" Knuckles yelled at him.
"What do you care about her, Knuckles?" Finitevus asked. "You don't even know her, nor do you know these ponies. Do you think they value the way of life? Do you think they love to see destruction? No. They just enjoy the ways of how we all suffer." Finitevus toys with his mind.
Locke cuts in. "No, Finitevus! I agree with Knuckles. Enerjak must be contained into the Master Emerald once again, thus releasing Diamond Tiara from your dreaded hex."
"Do you want to take that risk, Locke?" He asks with a sinister smile.
Locke then looks to Rouge. "Locke, if you place Enerjak back into the Emerald, you have no idea what's going to happen after that."
"If I don't place him in the emerald, the time stream will be destroyed. I have no other choice. It needs to be done. NOW!" Locke walks up to the Emerald and holds his hands out. The Chaos Emeralds glow and they link into the Master Emerald.
"The servers are the seven Chaos! Chaos is power, enriched by the heart!" The Emerald glows more and the power taps back into Enerjak Tiara back in New Megaopolis.
Back over there. The two teams regroups with Sally, Tails, Amy, Bunnie, Antoine, Rotor, Pinkie Pie, Julie-Su, Vector, Espio, Charmy and Mighty. Sonic and Rainbow Dash rushes in. "Hey guys! What did we miss?" Sonic asked. Rarity, Applejack, Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo and Silver Spoon enter as well.
"It's great to see y'all still okay." Applejack complimented.
"And you too, Applejack." Sally replied.
The team looks at the unconscious Enerjak Tiara. "So, we finally meet again. Face to face." Sonic pounds his fist on his palm, remembering his pummeling from Enerjak Tiara. "Can't wait to knock the Enerjak out of you."
"It seems like she has been drained from all of her power by Doctor Robotnik." Tails said.
"Then there's still time to save her." Silver Spoon said.
"How do we know it's not dangerous." Vector asked.
"I guess we'll find out once we get her out of the Egg Grape." Sally said.
Amy gets out her hammer and jumps towards the Egg Grape. "No problem! Leave it to me!" She swings her hammer towards it. "Hiiii-ya!" But it did little to no damage against it. "Huh? I didn't even make a dent out of that one."
"That's one tough Egg Grape." Sonic says.
While they stare at her, Enerjak Tiara begins to glow with green energy and electricity sparks.
Locke tries his best to use the Emerald's power to banish Enerjak from DT's soul but to his shock, the Emerald explodes into light and pushes Locke away, sliding over to Knuckles and Twilight. They help him up to see the Master Emerald's energy and power flowing out of it and it flies off at light speed to New Megaopolis.
"What's happening to the Emerald?" Locke screamed in horror.
"I don't understand! What's going on?" Knuckles was transfixed.
"You just gave more power to Enerjak Tiara. The Hex has been altered just as Finitevus planned it would." Rouge said.
"And I would've stopped it if you fools had let me." Finitevus said and looks at Twilight. "But no... you wanted to stop it yourselves using the more pointless ritual you could think of. Enerjak Tiara is Chaos, you fool! Chaos is enriched by her heart. It wasn't completely opposite. And now, her power will wipe out all of New Megaopolis and your friends with it!"
"No... How could this be?" Twilight is in a desperate situation now. "I thought it would work?"
"And then, once Enerjak's power reaches it's limit, the universe will die." Finitevus said and Twilight's expression has changed to horror.
Locke gets up again to see the Master Emerald disappearing out of sight. "The Emerald!" He shouted again.
"Dad. Twilight. We need to warn the others now! We need to get to New Megaopolis! Right now!" Knuckles demanded them while Twilight becomes worried and looks at the sky, and it's turning white.
Princess Celestia, Luna, Fluttershy and Spike also witnesses the sky turning white. "It's already happening! We need to hurry now!" Celestia told them.
Back in New Megaopolis, Enerjak Tiara glows an immense power from the Master Emerald and opens her eyes. She sprouts her wings and her unicorn horn erupts with magic.
"LOOK OUT!" Sonic warned them and they all duck onto the ground as the Egg Grape shatters to pieces and falls to the ground. Sonic gets up and looks up to see the glowing Enerjak Tiara, fueled by the Master Emerald and she laughs while the others watch.
"And now, you stupid, pitiful idiots, time to be vaporized by my glamorous power!" She grinned and shots a beam at the wall, causing a black hole to appear. The black becomes large and it starts sucking everything in. Everyone tries to grab onto something to prevent being thrown in but Tails is the first to fall in. "TAILS!" Sonic screamed as he watches him fall. Tails screams as he gets sucked in. Amy, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo and Antoine get sucked in too, with Bunnie calling out Antoine's name before she too is sucked in. Sonic tries to outrun the black hole whilst everyone else gets sucked in and Tiara toys with him again.
"You see how it works, you stupid hedgehog. Everything you see becomes my domain!" Sonic looks forward to see the floors becoming crystalized and the walls tear apart revealing a white background due to the time stream becoming unstable. "Everything you love burns! Everything everypony loves burns! Especially you!" Tiara says and she flies into the blackhole herself. Rainbow Dash gets sucked in and so does Applejack, Rarity and Sweetie Belle, all with them screaming. Sonic is the only one left as he desperately tries to outrun the blackhole but it proves to be too powerful and he gets thrown in. "WHHHHHOAAAA!" He screamed as the blackhole swallowed him up and the entire area becomes engulfed.
The sky becomes engulfed too and begins to swallow everything else in it's path.
Knuckles looks up at the sky as he, Twilight, Rouge, Locke and Finitevus becomes engulfed. "No..." Locke whispered.
The sky then engulfs Knothole Village and consumes Spike, Luna, Fluttershy and Celestia as the latter closes her eyes and prays.
"Please, faith. Help us." Celestia prayed just as the whole world whitens.
To be continued...
Eggman may have lost, but... IT has begun. The End of the Worlds. Enerjak Tiara has finally achieved her true power and has used her powers to consume everything in her path, including our heroes. Is this the end, will Sonic and his band of Ponies and Freedom Fighters save the day or will this day be forever lost. Time is running out and these heroes better hurry otherwise there won't be a tomorrow.
