My Little Pony/Sonic the Hedgehog
CHAOS IS MAGIC
Chapter 8: The Last Sparkle of Hope
Everything was all white for a moment. But then Sonic the Hedgehog opened his eyes and groggily gets up. "What was that all about?" He wondered and then looks around where he is. "Huh? Hey! This is..."
Sonic sees that he's in the Ethereal Realm again. "Is this another dream? Where are the others?"
Sonic speeds around to find them. "RD? Tails! Anybody, hey!" Sonic speeds down the path. But he then bumps into Rainbow Dash. He looks at her and is relieved that she's okay. "Dash!"
"Sonic!" RD exclaimed in a very panicky manner. "Am I glad to see you. What is this place?"
"To be honest, I'm not quite sure. But I have been here before, I just can't put my finger on how we got here." Sonic scratches his head in confusion.
"Sonic!" Twilight called as she flies in along with Knuckles.
"Twilight! Knuckles!" Sonic exclaimed.
"Where are we?" Knuckles looks around.
"I have no clue." Tails flies in along with Bunnie, Antoine and Sally as they walk in. "But this place does seem... very outlandish."
"Good to see you too, buddy." Sonic said to Tails. "How many more of you guys made it?"
"Just a couple more of us coming in." Applejack says, walking in with the CMC, Silver Spoon and Rarity.
"I should say however, this place looks very exquisite for my taste." Rarity admired the area.
"Focus, Rarity. This is no time for sight seeing." Espio says as he and the Chaotix enter the view.
"Going through that blackhole made me kinda queasy." Vector said holding onto his stomach.
"Can we do that again? That was fun." Charmy asked.
"It seems we were all sucked into the white void and ended up in this realm." Princess Celestia said as she walked in with Luna, Spike and Fluttershy.
"This seems so weird for some reason." Twilight said. "This is the same place where I became a princess. Why are we all here?"
"Because of that." Locke walked in and pointed up to where everyone can see. "Whoa!" Jumped Sonic. "It can't be!" Shocked Twilight. "That's not possible!" Said Knuckles. "I think I lost my tail! Oh wait, there it is! Hee hee hee!" Giggled Pinkie. "It's... it's..." Apple Bloom widen her eyes.
The whole team expresses their shock while they stare up at a large crystalized castle with nine towers and a large statue of Enerjak Tiara and it stood right in front of them. The power crazed alicorn herself flies in with sparks of electricity and flies over the team. Many of them screamed as she flew over their heads and flew straight to the top of her castle and stood right at the tip of it. Enerjak Tiara stared down at the team and laughs manically at them.
"Enerjak Tiara!" Sonic clenched his fists in anger.
"She's even way more powerful than before." Tails speculated.
"But how?" Spike asked.
"The Master Emerald. It's all inside of her now." Knuckles said in horror. "She might even be more invincible than the original Enerjak."
Rouge floats down and the team sees her. "I warned you, didn't I, red?"
"Warn what?" Sonic questioned.
"You knew this would happen all along?" Sally asked.
"Although the Master Emerald could be used to seal Enerjak back inside, Dr. Finitevus had put a hex on Diamond Tiara after she was fused with Enerjak. Call it a fail safe for anyone stupid enough to use the Master Emerald."
"A fail safe? What?" Twilight got confused.
"You do realize that what you're saying isn't making much sense, dear." Rarity said.
"*sigh* It's in that stupid pony book of history. The hex was placed incase anyone were to be lazy enough to use the Master Emerald's spirit to seal off Enerjak, once the ritual was recited in reverse, it had caused a chain reaction to the emerald causing a disfiguration to it's spirit. And... since this is Unicorn Magic we're talking about, the hex also embodies a powerful surge of magic and Chaos. That's what caused all of this to happen. You activated the hex's trigger and given full power of magic and Chaos to Enerjak Tiara in process, let alone the power of the Master Emerald fusing her." Rouge explained.
"Indeed it is true." Dr. Finitevus walked in as well and everyone stood their ground against him. "You pitiful fools, stand down. I'm not going to fight with you all anymore. Not unless you want to face the fate of what's to come next."
"You! You caused all of this!" Locke got mad and charged at him. "You moronic mad scientist!" Finitevus dodges his punch and grabs his arm while he struggles.
"If it were up to me, Locke, I would have stopped it and plotted my next vengeance scheme." Finitevus said up to him. "I was the only one who could break the hex but you accelerated it further and foiled my attempt. My ATTEMPT to save both worlds. Now look what you have done. My creation is out of control and soon the universe will be."
"All right, Finitevus!" Rainbow Dash growled. "Tell us how we can fix this!"
"I'm afraid it is too late, Rainbow Dash." He replied coldly. "All of you are too late. Had you not ignored my plea, I could have saved us all." He calmly lets go of Locke.
"Saved us all?" Sonic growled as well.
"You wanted to kill us!" Amy too.
"Exterminate all of our worlds." Twilight three.
"Unleash destruction on our sacred land!" Julie-Su four.
"I know you're an evil person and all but you are downright mean!" Fluttershy five.
"Threatening the cause of harm for harmony." Celestia walked up to him while frowning.
"Oh princess. If only you know harmony the way I do. It's quite peaceful... and chaotic." Finitevus said and it insulted Celestia.
"Okay, can we turn this loony into stone right now?" Dashie asked.
"There's no time to argue about all of that now!" Sonic yelled and pointed up at Enerjak Tiara. "Look! She's up to something there." They see Tiara is about to open a tear from the fabric of time and space.
"Oh my gosh!" Twilight uttered in horror while the rest look on. "She's..."
"She's opening a rift!" Celestia said in horror. "If we don't close that rift, the whole universe will collapse."
"No problem, your highness." Sonic said. "I'm the world's fastest hedgehog! I'll close that rift in no time." Sonic was about to speed off but Applejack grabs his arm.
"And risk getting yourself butt-whooped again? Not on mah life! If you're going, we're going too." AJ shows Sonic all the others who are going to help him.
"We're all in this together, Sonic." Twilight said valiantly. "We must stop Enerjak Tiara. We all do."
"Yeah!" Dash cheered in confidence.
"We're with you on this, Sonic." Vector thumbs up.
"With our teamwork, we can win." Espio said.
"Yippie!" Pinkie bounces up to Sonic with balloons and a party hat. "Teamwork party!" She blows a party horn in the air.
"There's no way we're letting you do this alone, Sonic." Sally walked up. "This is our fight too."
"You'll need all the help you could get." Tails said.
"Trust in your friends, Sonic." Rarity said.
"Always keep fighting!" Scootaloo jumped up with her wings propelling.
"You're the best hedgehog around, Sonic." Rainbow Dash flew up to him and high fives him.
"No matter how you try to save the world, always do it with the help of your friends." Celestia said.
Everyone except Finitevus starts cheering and praising Sonic, giving him motivation and courage.
"Wow." Sonic is amazed by his friends praises. "I guess Friendship really is Magic."
"It's done a lot to me as well, you know." Said Silver Spoon.
"Sonic? Are you... crying?" Amy notices.
Sonic notices a tear drop below his left eye and wipes it off with his finger. "I... caught something in my eye."
"That's the fire of friendship reacting, Sonic." Twilight said. "It made me feel the same way when I'm with my friends. Our friends are our power and we're theirs."
Sonic chuckles while he smirks while he and Twilight stare at each other for a moment.
"Hey guys!" Knuckles got their attention. "Sorry to kill the moment but we don't have a lot of time right now! That rift is getting huge and it's only a matter of time before we can close it."
Sonic looks to Twilight in determination. "Knuckles is right." He said while Twilight nods and flaps her wings to float of the ground. Sonic then stares at the castle and holds his hand out. "Freedom Fighters! Chaotix! Ponies!" And he swings it down to his waist and announces. "LET'S DO IT TO IT!"
The Freedom Fighters, Chaotix, Mane 6 and Cutie Mark Crusaders charge right up to the castle while Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Locke and Finitevus watch from where they are standing.
"I hope they can make it." Luna worries.
"I hope so too, sister. But right now, the only thing we need to have is to have 'faith'." Celestia said with her eyes closed.
"They're going to lose." Finitevus coldly said again.
Sonic the Hedgehog speeds along the crystalized path right up to Enerjak Tiara's castle. The alicorn then swoops down from the tip after opening a rift and shoots beams down at Sonic. Sonic avoids the beams using quick dashes to the sides.
"Hold still!" She yelled as she shoots another beam but Sonic jumps up and homing attacks her away. Tiara tries to fire another beam but she gets a beam to the face by Twilight Sparkle as she flies in with Spike on her back shooting beams at her. Tiara, enraged, shoots beams back at her but Twilight tries her best to avoid them in the air. Twilight then shoots another beam at her but she misses and Tiara shoots a beam directly at her. Only to be ricocheted by Bunnie's robotic arm as it bounces back from her and over to Tiara. She dodges again and Sonic jumps over the exploding beam.
In the air, Tails, Rouge, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy fly towards the castle. Tiara spots them and tries shooting them down with her beams. They dodge the beams and one narrowly passes by Tails' tail, frightening him a bit. Fluttershy dodges as well while she panics and Rainbow Dash dodges more while circling down right at her. She kicks her face with her hind leg and flies right back into the air. Dashie laughed but Tiara furiously fires a beam at her but Knuckles manages to glide in and pushed her away from harm.
"Watch yourself!" Knuckles told her and he glides down to her.
"Knuckles! Look out!" Sonic screamed out for him.
But Tiara shoots a beam at Knuckles and it hits him in the chest. "Arrrghh!" He roared in pain and he falls to a platform. Julie-Su gasped and jumped over to help him up.
"Knuckles? Are you hurt?" JS asked and sees the burnt spot left on him.
"I'm fine." Knuckles said. "But it was worth it."
"You mean. You did that on purpose? Why?" JS asked.
"Just to feel it's power." Knuckles said.
The fight continues as Tiara continues firing in the air at Twilight Sparkle. Twilight dodges more beams as Spike becomes really uneasy with being a 'flight attendant'. "How are you holding up, Spike?" Twilight asked.
"A little nauseous." Spike said.
"We're nearly to the castle. Just hang tight." She assured as more beams pass her.
Tiara misses her again and Sonic passes by below her and she starts shooting more beams at Sonic. A lot explode on the crystal glass path as it starts to shatter as Sonic speeds along. Tiara aims her horn at Sonic and fires a direct blow at him, impacting his position. When it looked like she finally got him she suddenly looks with astonishment to see Sonic still moving and he is humorously running backwards just to taunt Tiara with his arms crossed. Tiara clenched her teeth and shoots more beams but misses Sonic again as he yawns.
Eventually Sonic makes it to the doors and spin dashes through it to bust open. He radios in the others. "Okay, guys! C'mon in! And quick! Those lasers pack quite a punch!"
Tiara sees Applejack pulling on a wagon carrying Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo and Silver Spoon as she gallops as fast as she can to the castle. "I'll destroy you! And then you're little sissy blank flanks!" She swoops down to Applejack but AJ ducks her head to dodge her attack.
"Come on! Move it!" Sally orders the rest and they all make a run for the castle. "To the castle!"
Tiara spots them and grins. "I'd rather you not." She uses her horn and conjure up illusions of herself in filly form. The Diamond Tiara clones appear before the Freedom Fighters and Chaotix as they see more grinning DT clones appearing around them. They all talk in unison. "Everything you see is mine. Everything you touch is mine. And Everything you ever know is all mine!"
"I got no time for this fashion parade! Move out of my way!" Mighty growled as he plows through the clones. But then the clones attack him, punching and bucking him. "OW! Stop that!"
The clones then attacks the team. One of the clones charges up at Antoine, as he tries to swing his sword towards her but she jumps up at the tip of it and she bonks his head with her front hooves. Bunnie manages to punch some out of the way but they all get up without sustaining any scrapes or bruises. Sally kicks one of them while Espio punches one off of him. And the Mighty bursts out of the clones in anger and rams them out of his way to the castle.
Enerjak Tiara watches them as they fight the clones while Twilight engages her into a magic showdown together. They shoot beams at each other while flying through the air.
Sonic enters the castle along with Tails, Rouge, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash.
"Where now, Sonic?" Rouge asked.
Sonic looks up to see a giant staircase that leads up to the opened rift and tells the others. "The rift is just above us!"
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Rainbow Dash flies up but she gets knocked back by a hoof punch and falls back with the others. They see about a thousand or more clones of Diamond Tiara surrounding the staircase and they all grin at the team. Fluttershy becomes a bit frightened and cowers behind Sonic.
"Don't be scared, Flutters, we can take 'em!" Sonic said. "Just follow my lead!" Sonic runs fast up the staircase, blasting away the DT clones, with Tails helping out, using his tails to whack away the other clones. Rouge slaps one away while Dash and Flutters follow Sonic up as they dodge more clones trying to attack them. Sonic gets higher up the staircase by jumping up and homing attack each of the clones to a higher level.
Sonic reaches the end of the staircase but he still has further to go to get to the top. More clones walk in to surround him but Applejack busts in along with the CMC, Freedom Fighters and Chaotix as they take down each of the clones.
More clones run up the stairs but Rarity and Vector hold them off with a hoof slap and leg breaker respectively. Rarity however gets pinned by one but the clone gets shot by a blast of confetti, saving Rarity. Pinkie rolls in with her party cannon, giggling and shooting off the remaining clones. Mighty was about to take down another clone but Rouge stomps it down to the ground.
"Whee! That was super fun!" Pinkie smiled.
"About time, guys!" Sonic comments.
"Hey, you didn't save some for me, batgirl!" Mighty complained.
"Sorry, I didn't see you there, shorty." Rouge said.
The team groups at the checkpoint.
"Look! There's the rift!" Apple Bloom points up and the rest see it.
"And it's getting bigger." Scootaloo said.
"Wow-wee. That's a huge riftey!" Pinkie said.
"We don't have a lot of time before that rift grows large enough to eat out a whole universe." Knuckles said. "Sonic!"
"Don't get a big head about, Knux! All we have to do is avoid more of those clones and we're home stretch."
"What do you mean, clones?" Sweetie Belle asked.
More Diamond Tiara clones appear before the team and they, more especially the Cutie Mark Crusaders and Silver Spoon, gasp.
"Sal! Take a team and go through the left tower! Me and Knux will meet at the top." Sonic ordered and Sally gathers her team to go with her.
"You guys, with me!" Sally ordered and they follow.

"Crusaders! Stay with us! The last thing we need is another kidnapping after coming so far." Sonic said.
"What about the princess and Twilight!?" Dashie asked.
"They're with Dad and Luna, holding off Enerjak Tiara while we get to the top of the castle." Knuckles told them.
"I hope your father's got a plan, Knuckles." Sonic said.
"Well, let's hope it's better than Finitevus' plan." Knuckles replied.
Twilight Sparkle flies through the air shooting beams at Enerjak Tiara as she shields herself from her attacks and bucks her to the chest. Twily recovers some air and shoots off more beams at her. Princess Celestia watches her former student battle the powerhouse alicorn while Locke gathers the Chaos Emeralds off the ground.
"I've got the Emeralds! Now what, princess?" Locke asked.
"Hold them to Princess Luna, she can be able to break Finietvus' hex on Diamond Tiara." Celestia said.
"It's not going to work." Finitevus said.
"It will, you sick fiend." Locke growled.
"Breaking the hex is one thing, Locke, but you still don't understand what the power of Chaos and Magic can do." Finitevus talked again.
"Enough of your cryptic words, villain!" Luna ordered. "Why act so cynical about all of this that we're doing?"
"Hahahahaha! After I turned that spoiled, snobby girl into Enerjak, I transferred the power of Chaos into her. When she wore the Alicorn Amulet, it gave her magic of the highest level alicorn. But... in order to become a full fledge Chaos and Magic powered alicorn, she will need to devour the power from the recently turned princess of magic." Finitevus explained.
Princess Celestia realizes who it is. "Twilight Sparkle..."
"I did say she was part of the plan..." He grinned as he said.
Locke grabs him in anger and interrogates him. "What? What do you intend to do with her?"
"It's not what I'm intending..." Finitevus turns his head over to Enerjak Tiara fighting Twilight. "...it's what she's intending. As their raging duel continues, she becomes stronger... and when she becomes stronger... hehehehehehehe..."
Locke shakes him violently. "You maniac! Speak!"
"Hahahahaha! She will... drain the magic out of her... then you will see my mistake."
"What mistake?" Locke demanded more but Luna stopped him.
"Locke... now is not the time to gain any answers from this corruptible serf. We must concentrate!" Luna said.
Locke paused as he looks at Finitevus' smiling eyes but then he drops him. He then turns to Luna and decides to use their method. "Okay, let's do it."
Celestia watches in worry of Twilight's progress in fighting against Enerjak Tiara. She then closes her eyes and a tear sheds from her eye.
Sonic and his team runs through the right tower. They come across a crystal lined area with more clones popping out from everywhere, even through the floor. Crystalized liquid floats up from the floor and walls and they take the shape of Diamond Tiara. The clones walk towards them while sporting a sinister smile. The CMC become scared that their bully is more intimidating than ever.
"Oh no." Sweetie Belle worries.
"I know these are clones but, you ever attacked a little girl, Knuckles?" Sonic asked.
"You're asking me this, why?" Knuckles asked. "You know I never-"
"C'mon, Knux. I was just kidding." Sonic said. "I have no problem with fighting a bunch of little ponies, but THIS is getting on my nerves now."
The DT clones charge at them. "Sorry, Sonic. But Ah'm afraid we have no choice!" Applejack gallops and rams some through.
Sonic, Rarity, Amy, Knuckles, Espio and Mighty engage in battle against the clones. Spin dashing them, punching them, bucking them, pounding on them and whacking them with a Piko Piko Hammer. Rainbow Dash zips through some by tripping them under their legs.
The CMC remain out of the fight but four Diamond clones walk up and circle the fearful Crusaders and Spoon. They start taunting them with past quotes spoken by Diamond Tiara. "Blank flanks! More like a lame-kin! This clubhouse is mine. Bump, bump, sugar-lump, rump! Great! Now we're stuck with these lame blank flanks!" The four say in unison.
"Don't listen to them!" Scootaloo says. "They're just trying to torture us with her words!"
"Well, have fun practicing anyway, even if your routine will never, how shall I say, take off!"
One circles around Sweetie Belle. "It's absolutely sure to crush everyone else, and I mean crush. Blank flanks! Blank flanks! Blank flanks!" Sweetie covers her ears from her.
Another circles Apple Bloom. "That's it? That's your talent! Hah! I guess that last trick was a lot of hoopla. Those cutie marks are fake!"
Apple Bloom covers her ears and moans in pain. "Stop it! Stop it!"
"Oh what? You're going to cry now, blank flank? Do it! Let me see you cry!" The four speak at Apple Bloom but Silver Spoon unaffected by DT's words jumps in and defends Apple Bloom.
"Stop it, Diamond Tiara!" Spoon spoke in anger. "I've had it with you tormenting them! Why can't you just leave them alone already!?"
One of the clones then morphs into a clone of Silver Spoon and acts just as how she was before while Spoon gasps. "Look at you!" The clone said as she circles her. "You're not the Silver Spoon I remembered. You're not even close to being on top. Why would you betray your selfishness for a bunch of blank flanks like these? Don't you remember what you used to do with them?"
"You're not..." Spoon engages in a battle of mentality and morality with her clone.
"Face it, dork! Diamond only hangs with you because you had potential. You have spirit. The spirit that she has and now you're throwing it away just to be friends with those lameo Cutie Cark Crusaders? A bunch of blank flank cry babies! Have I ever told you, myself, what the definition of morality is? Morality is about being either bad or good. Doing bad things makes you tough and popular. Doing good things makes you hated and dumb!"
Silver Spoon tries hard to fight it... "S-Shut up!"
"Oooh! Did I break your kindness? Did I damage your good nature? Good! That's how it feels! Being a bully makes you feel good! Being nice makes you feel weak!"
"It does not..."
"How do you know that? What did the blank flanks do to you? What could they possibly have done to turn you into such a kind filly?!"
Sweetie Belle tries to help her out. "Silver Spoon! Don't listen to her!" But she gets dragged out by the DT clone.
"No!" Spoon panicked.
"Look!" She shows her the Cutie Mark Crusaders being tormented by the clones of Diamond Tiara. "You loved this, don't you? You love bulling these blank flanks. Why? Because it makes you more popular amongst Diamond Tiara. That's the whole reason why you do it. You don't like others picking on you so you pick on them instead. It's the way the whole world works. It's because it's fun." The clone then takes Silver Spoon over to Apple Bloom and a mud puddle appears behind her. "Remember this?"
Spoon stands face to face with the fearful Apple Bloom as she is forced to stand with a mud puddle behind her and the fake Spoon forces the real Spoon to move her hooves up in an act to push her into the mud puddle. "Do it... Make her proud. You made her proud before, now is your chance to do it again. Do it... Do it. Do it."
The clones start chanting "Do it." at Silver Spoon as she sweats with fear, wanting to push Apple Bloom into the mud puddle like she did to the other pony. She strains her eyes and cringes as the words play in her head over and over again. SB and Scoots watched what they are about to witness as Spoon begins to push and AB shuts her eyes for the worst. For a moment, Silver Spoon fought her thoughts. "No... I won't... They may be blank flanks... but they are more than just that... they showed me something that Diamond Tiara never showed me... and that is... their friendship!" Spoon then shoves her clone into the mud puddle and she and the other clones disappear.
Silver Spoon breathes heavily from her struggle and the Cutie Mark Crusaders walk up to her, admiring what she has shown. "Silver Spoon... that was..." AB spoke.
"I didn't want to..." Spoon breathed. "I didn't want to hurt you. After what we been through together... here in this world... I would never want to-"
"It's okay." SB said.
"We understand." Scoots said also.
"Sure we had our troubles with you in the past, Silver Spoon." AB comforted. "But deep down we think you're something more than just a bully. And we think... as of this turning point... you're a real good friend."
Silver Spoon looked up to them and straightens her glasses. "I may have been a jerk before, girls, but I am not a bully. Diamond Tiara is the real bully! And this time she's gone to far!"
While that moment is happening, the rest of the team are still fighting off the Diamond Tiara clones. Applejack bucks one to a wall. Rarity shoots one with her blue beam. Sonic spin dashes one and the other and Amy stomps one down with her hammer. Knuckles, Julie-Su, Espio and Mighty knock away the rest of the clones just before Espio throws a shuriken to finish off one more clone that was about to attack Rainbow Dash and she noticed.
Sonic homing attacks one more clone and a door opens. "This way, guys! We're nearly there!"
"C'mon, y'all!" Applejack rears and gallops. "There's no time to lose!"
Everyone charges through the door and run up the stairs. "I hope we're not too late!" Knuckles said.
In the left tower. Tails, Sally and the others are dodging through more attacks from the DT clones. Sally flying kicks one out of her way, Tails whacks one away with his tails. Antoine knocks one with his sword and Bunnie double punches two between her. Vector spins around with his arms out, knocking away a lot of clones. "Gain way!" He screamed and Charmy flies around bouncing off each of the other clones and Vector breathes out fire at the other clones. He burps and pounds his chest. "Oh geez... I knew I shouldn't have had that hot pepper burrito for lunch."
More Diamond Clones appear. "Look out! More of them!" Tails alerted.
They appear around Fluttershy and they surround her. She covers herself in fear but Pinkie manages to save her by shooting her party cannon confetti at them. She helps up Fluttershy but more clones gallop towards them. Pinkie's mane then pulls out a blue balloon and she blows into it. She ties it up and bounces over to them. The Diamond clones then stop to see the balloon float towards them. As they stare at the balloon, Rouge flies up to it and tornado kicks at the balloon, making it pop into a big bang, blowing away the clones.
"Nice moves, pinky." Rouge said.
"Hee hee! You just said my name!" Pinkie bounced up with glee.
"Uhhh..." Rouge looks away. "Right. Pinky. And here I thought name calling was a new low."
Pinkie suddenly asked her. "By the way, what kind of name is Rouge? I mean, I know rogue is a word but what's a 'rouge'?" Pinkie smiled. *squee* Rouge then sighed in disgust.
Tails propels his tails forward to the rooftop entrance. "C'mon, everybody! This way!" Sally and the rest follow him.
At the rooftop, Sonic's team make it while Twilight Sparkle, with Spike on her back, continues fighting off Enerjak Tiara. Sonic sees this while Rainbow Dash points up for him. "Sonic! Look! It's up there!"
Sonic looks up at the rift and it's getting even more larger. "Knuckles... You'll have to throw me in there."
"What?" Knuckles asked in shock.
"I'm going to close the rift." Sonic said.
"You gotta be kidding! You're kidding, right?" Dashie asked.
"But if you do that, then you'll probably never exist again. And that's a very scary thought." Sweetie Belle said.
"If I can..." Sonic explains. "...I might be able to speed around that rift and close it back tight."
"Sonic, no!" Amy pleads him. "It's suicidal!"
"Don't worry, Amy! I'll be fine!" Sonic assured.
"You sure about that?" Applejack asked.
"Positive! At least you guys are here. After all... having a bit of help did pay out a lot."
"But how can you be possibly sure it will work?" Rarity asked.
"I have my reasons." Sonic assured. "Okay, Knuckles. You ready?" Knuckles was hesitant at first.
But suddenly, a blast from Enerjak Tiara's beam impacts the floor and the heroes are sent flying nearly off the rooftop as it starts to crumble. The heroes manage to hang on as Sonic grasped at the edge of the castle and he catches Amy before she fell off. Rainbow Dash apparently fell off the castle. Silver Spoon held onto a gargoyle as she panics and sees Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo holding on for dear life. They were rescued in time by Rarity's magic. But Apple Bloom slips off the crumbling ground and falls. "APPLE BLOOM!" Applejack screamed as her sister plummets off the castle, but in quick timing Silver Spoon grabbed Apple Bloom's tail with her teeth. Apple Bloom looked up to see that her former bully had just saved her, but the gargoyle starts to give way and the fillies panicked. Silver Spoon, knowing what she has to do while Apple Bloom takes one more look at her, starts swinging her head forward with AB's tail still in her mouth. Just before the gargoyle breaks, Spoon swings Apple Bloom to an angle and releases her mouth causing her to fly up and be caught into Applejack's grasp, but the gargoyle breaks off and Silver Spoon plummets off the castle, screaming.
"Silver Spoon!" Apple Bloom screamed and then she starts tearing up and cries in Applejack's comfort. "She... she saved mah life. I don't believe it."
"Don't go crying on me now." A voice was heard and Apple Bloom opened her eyes to Julie-Su climbing back up with Silver Spoon as she caught her as she fell. AB becomes happy again.
Apple Bloom and Silver Spoon run up to each other. "That was really brave of what you did for me, Silver Spoon."
"Hee hee." Spoon looks down for a moment. "I guess that makes us even now."
"It sure does." Apple Bloom said and she hugged her as thanks. For a moment it was uncomfortable for Spoon but then she calmly accepts it and hugs her back.
The castle starts to crumble as Espio and Mighty tried to climb back up along with Knuckles. He uses his spiky fists as grip holders to climb the castle.
Tails and Sally arrive with their other team to see the tower on the other end is collapsing. "Sonic!" Tails called out.
"*gasp* Oh dear!" Fluttershy gasped in terror.
Sonic was still holding on to the edge with Amy in his other hand but it starts to give way too. "Whoa!" Sonic exclaimed. "Sonic!" Amy yelped in distress. "Don't let go of me, Amy!" He said to her.
Enerjak Tiara was about to strike on Sonic but Spike jumped off Twilight's back and leaped towards her. "SPIKE!" Twilight yelled as Spike lands on Enerjak Tiara and blinds her. She then starts shooting her beam aimlessly, crippling the tower even more. Mighty loses his grip but Espio grabs him with his tongue. Vector stuck his hand out to Espio and he grabs onto him. But Vector unfortunately trips and the three both fall to their doom. Only to be saved by, the one and only Charmy who held onto them and carried them off to safety. "I have the power!" Charmy yelled as his friends are in shock of what amazing feat he just did.
The beam then destroys more of the castle and Rarity, Scoots and SB try to outrun the beam. Only to be saved by Bunnie Rabbot and carries them off to safety.
Enerjak Tiara manages to get Spike off him and shoots another beam, this time at Fluttershy who narrowly dodges it but her bunny Angel flies out of her mane and off the castle. "*gasp* ANGEL!" Fluttershy cried for his life but Rouge catches him. "Well, aren't you adorable." Rouge said and Angel with his arms crossed, looks away.
Enerjak Tiara shoots Twilight as she flies to catch Spike. "Spike! Are you crazy?" Twilight asked about his actions.
"Sorry! I had to." Spike admitted. "Look out!" He warned Twilight of another attack and she dodges. Twilight then flies to the castle's balcony and drops Spike there.
"I'm sorry, Spike. But I can't see you be harmed." Twilight said to him and then hugs him. "I can't let anypony get hurt because of her." Twilight then flies off again to face Tiara again while Spike watches.
Twilight comes face to face with Enerjak Tiara. "ENERJAK TIARA! Stop what you're doing?" She screamed to her. "You have no idea what you're about to do."
"I have the exact faintest idea of what I'm about to do. I'm going to turn this world into a glamorous world!" She said. "You think you're so special, don't you. Well, not everypony is special. What makes me special? I'll tell you what makes me special: I am the only thing in Ponyville right now who is the most brilliant and most beautiful filly in town. I am the most popular foal in school. I have friends. I have money. I have glamor. But the one thing I don't have... is everything that I want. And now, I have it! I'm an alicorn now! Soon, I will be as powerful as your useless lame princess and then become the real princess of Equestria!"
"Diamond." Twilight tries to reach out to her. "Diamond Tiara. Listen to me. I know what you're going through. I felt the same way as you're feeling right now."
"SHUT UP!" Tiara shoots beams at Twilight and she dodges. "YOU DON'T KNOW HOW I FEEL! Everyone at kindergarten saw it! Why should you care! Why does it all have to be you special ponies!" She shoots more. "All I wanted was a talent that I can be good at! And all I'm good at... WAS WEARING THAT LAME TIARA!" She shoots again and Twilight continues to dodge. "I want a different cutie mark! I want to be special like the rest of you! It has to be me! It always was me! I AM MAGIC!" She fires a beam at Twilight while she does the same.
Their beams collide and try to push one of theirs towards the other. Twilight still tries to reach out. "Diamond! Don't do this!" Their beams break and Tiara stares at Twilight.
"You're doing this because of those stupid lame Cutie Mark Crybabies! Is that it!" Tiara gets angry. "You said there was always something special inside of them. Well, let me tell you right now, that is the stupidest thing I have ever heard of! They are TALENTLESS! Like you are!" She shoots more beams and Twilight hides for cover.
Sonic tries to pull himself up but the edge starts giving way and he and Amy yelp in panic.
"Sonic, if we don't make it. I just want to tell you tell you that... well... I lo-" Amy spoke but Sonic cuts her off.
"I know." Sonic understands and Amy becomes heartfelt. "I think you make an awesome Freedom Fighter, Amy." Sonic smirks.
Amy starts acting all dreamy over her love for Sonic. "Ohhhh... Sonic..."
Sonic's grip is finally lost and the two hedgehogs fall off but out of the blue comes Rainbow Dash who is unharmed and zipped in to save Sonic and Amy, with them grabbing onto her hooves. "Sup! What did I miss?"
"I figure you'd come around, Dash!" Sonic said. "Take me up to the rift, quickly!" Sonic jumped up onto Dash's back as she flew up to it.
Enerjak Tiara and Twilight continue their battle with Tiara berating her again. "You don't understand anything, do you?" She destroys pillars that Twilight's hiding behind. "My whole dream was to be perfect. Now I am perfect!" She destroys another. "I control the magic now! No one can tell me what to do anymore. You think I'm just going to come and open myself to those lame Crusaders and say 'sorry'? Not. On. My. LIFE!" She destroys the last one and Twilight races out of the smoke and towards Tiara.
Twilight slaps Tiara in the face and bucks her back up in the air. Twilight confronts her with an even more intimidating look. "What's your PROBLEM!?" Twilight yelled. "Why do you hate the fillies so much? Because they have no cutie marks? Because they'll never know what their talents are? What is wrong with you? I mean, bullying? That can be dealt with but POWER? Are you out of your mind!? And by the way, I'd never forget that name when I was little. Blank flank. Do you how insulting that is. I was called that too when I was your age... and you think calling somepony else with that name makes you popular? We're not the ones who are suffering, Diamond, you are. And you need help. Please... let me help you sort your problems out." Twilight loses her angry expression and holds her hoof out to her.
Enerjak Tiara was a bit hesitant at first as Twilight held her hoof out. Tiara then slowly reaches for Twilight's hoof as the latter starts to smile. But as soon as she grabbed her hoof, Enerjak Tiara angrily utters. "Those tattletales..." Making Twilight lose her smile as Tiara hurls her to the wall and she hits against it. She flies directly back to the castle and Twilight fears for the lives of the CMC.
Rainbow Dash makes it to the rift and Sonic prepares to jump but Amy stops him. "Sonic! Please, don't. You'll probably..."
"Amy... I promise you... I'll be fine." Sonic promised Amy and Amy lets him go. Sonic jumps off of Dashie and heads towards the rift, but suddenly the rift shoots out a lightning blot and it nearly shocks Sonic. "Whoa! Come on!"
"Sonic!" Dashie fears for Sonic. But another lightning blot shoots out and aims directly at Sonic. "NO!" Dashie drops Amy and got in Sonic's way and takes the blow herself. The blot shocks Dashie so hard it made her scream. "AHHHHHHH!"
"Rainbow Dash!" Sonic screamed as Dashie fell from Sonic and he dived right after her. Sonic manages to catch Dashie and Amy and slides down safely on the roof top. Sonic puts down Amy while he tends to the heavily injured Rainbow Dash. Sonic fears of losing her. "Dashie? Dash? Are you okay?"
Rainbow Dash coughs as she opens her eyes. "I think so... I can take a lighting bolt any day but that... *koff* man, that was intense."
"Can you walk?" Sonic asked.
"I don't think I can even fly." Dashie's wing is sprained due to the damage.
Enerjak Tiara then flew up to the castle and Sonic sees her. "Hey, you! I've got a bone to pick with you!" Sonic spin dashes at her but she swats him away.
"I don't have time for you!" Tiara said and then she laid eyes on Applejack and her sister. "You!"
"Get back, Apple Bloom!" Applejack told her and she and Silver Spoon hide behind her but Tiara came closer. "Listen, I don't want you to hurt my sister with them words anymore-" But Tiara swats her away too.
"BLANK FLANK! YOU TATTLED!" Tiara furiously screamed at Apple Bloom. Silver Spoon defends her.
"Diamond Tiara! Don't hurt her, please!" Silver Spoon said.
"Why do you even care for her, Silver Spoon? You and I always made her and those Cutie Mark Losers such crybabies!" Tiara said.
"I know... But that's all behind me now!" Silver Spoon smiled at her.
"Then you are no longer my best friend!" Tiara blasts her horn at her but Rarity saves Silver Spoon from being blasted by tackling her away. "Everypony is against me! THE WHOLE WORLD IS AGAINST ME!" She looks at Apple Bloom and she grins while Apple Bloom becomes more terrified of her.
Enerjak Tiara then charges her horn with an even more powerful and fatal beam she could ever conjure and her eyes glow red. "You! Are the most disgusting... most putrid little blank flank I have ever met! You... don't deserve to live on this planet! You are just a simpleton. Prepare to die... BLANK FLANK!" Apple Bloom shuts her eyes as Enerjak Tiara fires a black magical Chaos Spear at Apple Bloom.
SHHRIK!
Everypony and everyone gasps as they witness what has happened, even Tails himself becomes shocked and teary eyed. Apple Bloom opens her eyes to see she is not dead. But when she looks up she gasps in horror to see that Twilight Sparkle flew in and saved her but also took the fatal shot of Enerjak's Chaos Spear. The spear disappears from her chest and Twilight breathes her final breath and falls to the ground in slow motion. Her friends, Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo and the others had their jaw dropped in horror as Twilight shut her eyes and hits the ground. She is now dead. Sad music plays as Apple Bloom takes breaths on what just happened and starts to tear up in sadness. She lies on the ground and cries at what Diamond Tiara had just committed.
Even Princess Celestia as she senses Twilight's death in her heart and she tears up, while Locke and Princess Luna held out the Chaos Emeralds to break the hex.
Sonic and Rainbow Dash both witness Twilight's murder as Enerjak Tiara laughs and Fluttershy starts crying. Sally also sheds a tear while Charmy becomes heartbroken of what happened. Tails just dropped down to his knees in depression as he saw what Tiara had done and feels a bit of anger.
Sonic took a glimpse at the dead Twilight Sparkle and clenched his teeth and fist in anger. Sonic, then got up on his feet and ran up to Enerjak Tiara. "Sonic!" Dashie watches him and so do the others as Sonic speeds right up at the murderous villain. "MURDERER!" Sonic yelled and spin dashes right at Enerjak Tiara. Tiara was too busy laughing, she was surprised when Sonic broke through her shield and he starts speeding around her in high speed, while he does that, a tear drops from Sonic's eye. Suddenly Sonic turns golden yellow and flies up into the air, much to the surprise and horror to Enerjak Tiara.
"What the-?" Tiara was speechless.
"HOW COULD YOU?!" Super Sonic yelled as he punches and kicks Tiara all around. "SHE WAS MY FRIEND! WE WERE ALL HER FRIENDS! YOU MONSTER!"
Sonic's friends watch as Super Sonic mercilessly beats up Enerjak Tiara and pushes her to the rift. The rift shoots another lightning blot and it shocks Tiara with a high voltage of pain. "Yeah, hurts doesn't it?!" Sonic violently remarked and kicks her away from the rift. His friends are in shock of what he's doing.
As Super Sonic beats up Enerjak Tiara all around. Princess Luna and Locke breaks the hex on Diamond Tiara.
"The servers are the seven Chaos." Luna recites. "Chaos is power, enriched by the heart."
Tiara tried to fight back but Sonic blocked her hoof and stomps her back down to the rooftop, the impact of the crash made dust and debris fly everywhere. Super Sonic then breathes heavily in anger and he stands over the unconscious Enerjak Tiara. Super Sonic then removed the Alicorn Amulet off her with all of his strength, actually breaking the hinge and tosses it to Knuckles' feet and he picks it up. Super Sonic then calms down knowing that he's won and reverts back to his normal form. Sonic then looks over his shoulder and sees Tails crying over Twilight's lifeless body.
Locke and Luna shoot out a rainbow beam while Celestia sadly watches and Finitevus grimly smiles. The team then sees the rainbow fly in and over to Enerjak Tiara's unconscious body. The rainbow removes Enerjak's soul from her and transforms Diamond Tiara back into a pink filly with a tiara. Sonic witnessed her transformation and sadly sighs. "I promised... I promised to never let another Freedom Fighter die. And I failed. I failed." Sonic thought.
Locke, Luna and Celestia see that they have done it, but Finitevus laughs. "You done it now."
"What?" Luna asked in confusion.
Sonic and Knuckles then see the Master Emerald reappearing before them again. The emerald then shoots out a beam up to the sky. "What's happening now?" Knuckles asked.
"Knuckles!" Antoine shouted.
"The Alicorn Amulet!" Sally warned Knuckles and the Alicorn Amulet releases it's Magic and shoots up to the sky, shocking Knuckles.
The Mane 5, Freedom Fighters, Chaotix and Sonic look up at the sky to see the green Chaos Energy and purple Magic fly into the opened rift and it creates phenomenal disfiguration to the rift. The rift then explodes, blinding everyone. They look back up again to see Magic and Chaos forming together into an ultimate being. An ultimate god. It had the body of a alicorn pony and it's mane is like of the echidnas. The pony then opened it's blood red eyes and roars. Sonic and Co. were in horror to see this horrifying creature has emerged.
"What is that?" Sonic asked.
"It's her..." Rouge proclaimed.
The pony then covered the entire realm with dark clouds and begins to alternate the time stream. Causing the world to rumble.
Princess Celestia, Luna and Locke watched in horror as Finitevus said to them "I warned you didn't I? Now she will destroy the world. The universe will fall at the hooves of... "Chaosmare..."
The pony is Chaosmare, ultimate god of Chaos and Magic. And she roars again as the world started to collapse. Sonic looked at the beast with a very angry look and then back at the dead Twilight. "This is definitely not my day." Said Sonic.
To be continued...
The ultimate enemy has emerged. Chaosmare. Twilight Sparkle is dead and she was everyone's last hope to save the universe from destruction. Despite defeating Enerjak Tiara, the end has begun! Is this really the end? Will Sonic and the rest of the team stop Chaosmare? Stay tuned for the explosive finale of this epic battle.
