Okay, Werewolf Lover 99. NO. Just NO. So please STOP asking. On another note, here's the finale of the Dimension X three parter. Don't get me wrong, I'm going to continue this to at least ten chapters, but for Dimension X, I'm going to end it in this chapter (This corresponds to episodes 1 and 2 of Sonic X).

Cobalt's POV

I trotted down the stairs and greeted the marshmallow named Chris. "Hi. Thanks for letting us stay."

He'd changed into wear around clothes that were red, white, and yellow and was sitting on a couch. "No problem. I'm sure that the government is after you, so it's the least I can do. I don't think you want to be dissected."

I nearly vomited up the little I had in my stomach. "Di-WHAT?"

"Dissection."

"No, I know what it means, but why?"

"You're too fast to be a life form from here, and they probably think you're an alien." Chris explained. "And plus, horses don't talk around here."

"Pegasus. Ponies." My companion Rainbow Dash flew down from upstairs and landed next to me, looking annoyed. "Get it right."

"Sorry." Chris apologized. "It's just so cool that I'm talking to a real live pegasus!"

Yep, we're pegasi. And we're from another dimension. Mind blown yet? Eat on this. Rainbow and I and our friends decided to travel to this dimension to chase after an insane robot that stole one of these things called chaos emeralds and came here. I'm Cobalt Spikes, amnesiac. I work as a weather pony for the weather council back in my home dimension of Equestria.

My stomach growled in complaint, making me realize that I hadn't eaten for a whole day. I blushed. "Uh…"

"Oh!" Chris facehooved with his open fingered… hand, I think it's called. A facepalm. "Duh, you must be hungry! I'll go and get something for you to eat." He jogged off into another room.

Rainbow looked even more thrilled at the prospect of food than I felt, and I remembered that her stomach must have shrunk immensely from that period when she was starving herself when we were separated. I made another mental note to give her some of whatever I got.

"Say, do you want to go out on the balcony?" I suggested, seeing that there was one.

"Sure." She agreed, smiling warmly. "I'd like that." We walked onto the balcony and she fluttered into the sky, obviously feeling better, gathering a few clouds together, an ability that was clearly not limited by this dimension. She quickly formed them into a solid platform that could be stood on even by non-pegasi. Pushing it downward to the level of the balcony, she lay down on it and patted the area next to her. "Come on."

I obliged, and lay on my back next to her, basking in the warmth of the sun and the happiness at being with my friend. I wrapped my foreleg around her neck and she put her head on my shoulder. I considered confessing at that exact moment, but Chris calling for us interrupted my thoughts. "Cobalt! Rainbow Dash!"

"Yeah?" I asked, flying back onto the balcony and letting Rainbow follow.

Chris held up two dishes full of pulled grass from the lawn. "I looked on the Internet and it said that horses love grass."

My stomach lurched. "Grass?" behind me Rainbow turned and threw up into the cloud. That was mildly revolting, but not as much as the prospect of grass. "Oh, no way. The last time I ate that stuff I regretted it."

"I could get you some horse feed instead if you'd like." Chris offered, obviously taken aback at how we reacted to grass.

Rainbow wiped her mouth. "No way! Come on, Cobalt, we can find our own food!" she stretched her wings out and flapped off, I following at a distance.

"Wait! Come back!" Chris called after us.

ONE TITLE SEQUENCE LATER

We were back at Chris' dwelling, having found some abandoned nachos that we were sharing. He'd shown us a magic light box that played images and sound and we were currently watching what seemed like a self-reading notice board with more marshmallows telling it. Chris called it the news.

"Now here is a special report on the supersonic disturbances that terrorized downtown Station Square last night." One of the female marshmallows who narrated the news announced. The scene cut to a scientific looking guy with a monkey in his arms.

"It is absolutely impossible that any living thing could move that fast. These beings are obviously robots." He explained.

"Hah, we're famous!" I chuckled.

"What are robots?" Rainbow asked Chris.

"Robots are mechanical creations powered by engines or electricity, usually made of metal." Chris informed her.

"Metal." I realized. "You don't suppose…" I linked two and two together. Metal Sonic was a robot. That explained a lot.

"I'm mad about them thinking we're robots." Rainbow fumed. "I mean, do I look like I'm made of metal?"

"No." Chris and I said at the same time.

Rainbow Dash's POV

Robots? Who do these marshmallows think they are? Ah, whatever. What happened next is much more interesting.

"Hey Chris!" an older marshmallow in a lab coat walked around the corner. "Did you see the news announcement about those robot ponies flying around downtown last night?"

For one I was glad that somepony finally named us right, but I was also surprised there was somepony else living in this house. I'd thought Chris was home alone.

"Man, if I could find one of them–" the old man cut off as he laid eyes on us sitting right in front of him.

"Hi." Cobalt said.

Chris tried to stuff both Cobalt and I under couch pillows, which wasn't hard as when curled up we were kind of small in comparison to the marshmallow sized stuff, but that proved ineffective as neither of us wanted to be stuffed under pillows and struggled until we were free.

The old man immediately gasped in excitement and pulled out a screwdriver. He picked up Cobalt and started trying to find something to unscrew on him. "I must find out how it works!"

"Gah!" Cobalt yelled, twisting and turning to try to get away. "Stop it, that tickles!"

"Bwahahaha!" I laughed, finding the situation hilarious. I know he would probably kill me later, but it was just too funny.

Cobalt eventually struggled and leaped away from the crazy old man with a mutinous look on his face as he glared at me.

"Hold still!" the old marshmallow growled.

"Uncle Chuck, stop!" Chris held his grandpa back. "They're not robots!"

"We're not." I put in helpfully.

Cobalt glared harder. "Gee, thanks. You couldn't have told him that earlier?"

I grinned sheepishly. "Well, I could've."

"Wait." Mister Uncle Chuck froze. "You mean to tell me that these are biological entities capable of reaching sonic speeds?"

"Well, I am." Cobalt muttered. "I don't know about you, Rainbow."

I glared harder than he ever could, as I'm the queen of evil eyes. "You've heard my story a million times and you know it!"

He shrugged. "'Kay. Whatever you say." I gave up with an exasperated sigh and decided to deal with him later.

"This is incredible!" Chuck exclaimed, a wide grin stretching across his face. "I must inform the government and–"

"NO!" Cobalt shouted with so much intensity that Chuck dropped his screwdriver. "I don't wanna be dissected! It hurts!"

I felt sick, like I was gonna throw up again. "D-dissected?"

Cobalt hugged me protectively with his wing. "Don't worry. I won't let them hurt you."

"Thanks." I blushed, embarrassed that I looked like I needed protection. "I-I mean, get offa me!" I shoved him away.

Chris and Chuck watched this exchange obviously stunned. "You two like each other, don't you?" Chris asked.

"W-what?" Cobalt stammered, blushing harder than I was. "No!"

"You're insightful, Chris." Chuck commented. "They do."

I figured it wasn't much use arguing, and I guess Cobalt understood that too since he didn't even try to persuade them otherwise besides his first attempt.

Then another breaking news announcement came over the magic box identified as a TV. "There has been another biological entity identified in Station Square as seen in this video footage captured by an anonymous source." A male marshmallow announced.

The view switched to a blurry video clip of a pale yellow pony we recognized and her pet cowering on top of a high billboard.

"Fluttershy!" I gasped, watching her plead for mercy with the marshmallows surrounding her on all sides. "Crap! She must have flown up there for a better view and been too afraid to fly down!"

"Please, don't hurt us!" she begged, bursting into scared tears. "We don't mean any harm!"

It switched back to he newsroom. "We've been informed that the two have been taken into government custody for careful research at Area 99." The announcer informed us.

"Area 99! That's one of the most closely guarded places on earth!" Chris exclaimed, his eyes widening. "They must really find this Shutterfly to be a threat!"

"She's not, it's Fluttershy, and we're busting her out!" I growled, extending my wings to take off. "Come on Cobalt!" We shot off as two colored missiles.

"Wait, do you even know where you're going?" Chris yelled after us. We realized our mistake and stopped immediately, turning around and dashing back.

I scratched behind my head. "Um, hehe, sorry."

LATER

Cobalt's POV

"Are you all set?" Chris asked, hooking up a computer link to the spy gear eyepieces his grandpa had invented and gave to Rainbow and I in what was called a garage, but just looked like stables for these cars. I still thought what they called technology was some form of magic, but it was seriously cool anyway.

"I think so." I said, tapping the thing. "Are you sure we can still fly fast like this?"

"Yes, and better than that, we can see everything you see." Chuck answered for him. "Look at the computer screen."

I saw the computer screen, and saw the computer screen, and saw the computer screen, and it continued until the frames became too small to see. "Whoa."

"Okay dude, grab on and we'll take you there." Rainbow extended a hoof to Chris.

"Oh no." Chuck argued, pulling something out of his pocket and pressing a button on it. His car roared to life next to us, scaring the heck out of me. "I'm coming too. Hop in!"

I decided I liked this old marshmallow's sense for adventure and saluted. "Yes sir!"

LATER

"Say Chuck?" I asked over the roar of the wind and motor from the speeding car. "Do you think we can hop off here?"

"Sure, go for it!" he called back. "But I seriously doubt you can keep up with–" I proved him wrong by backflipping out of the car, followed by Rainbow. Rocketing down the street, we got to the gates of this so called 'most guarded area on earth' and waited impatiently for them to come on the sound emitter attached to the eyepiece.

Rainbow Dash's POV

Finally, finally we got our orders. I don't like taking blind orders from anypony more than you all, but it was the best chance we had.

"Okay, so there's an air vent pipe sticking out of the top of the gate, correct?" Chuck's voice broadcasted from the sound emitter straight into my ear.

"Yeah." I whispered in response.

"Good. If you fly down that, you'll reach a minimum-security hallway that should lead to the research rooms they hold the subjects in."

"Roger." Cobalt said before I could get anything out. We flapped up to the top of the gate, and one at a time tucked our wings and slid down the tunnel. I went first, my long tail softening the inevitable friction that would've been generated. Cobalt wasn't so lucky with his shorter tail.

"Oh man." He complained, rubbing his rear in pain. "It feels like I've got skid marks on my flank!"

I couldn't withhold a small giggle of amusement and gave him a friendly punch on the shoulder. "Get over it, blue blur."

We walked down the pipe, unable to do much more than that, and occasionally had to stand our ground against onrushes of fierce air. Eventually we reached the end of the pipe way and kicked out a vent into a hallway. Immediately I grabbed Cobalt and pushed both of us against a wall. "Minimum-security, huh?" I muttered through gritted teeth.

Both the walls were lined with cameras that looked back and forth along the hallway. I guess this really was the most guarded place on earth if this was minimum.

"Bzzt… can't hold… too much longer… bzzt… too powerful… not gonna… on your own… go get your friend! Bzzt." I heard Chris say with great difficulty over the sound emitter. Their end must have gotten jacked up by the Area 99 tech defense. We were stranded in the most guarded place on earth with no help.

"What do we do?" I hissed, tensing as a camera almost focused in on us.

"Hang on, I've got a plan." Cobalt murmured. He noted the camera surveillance patterns for a second then zipped across the hall to the other side. He gave me a look that clearly said, 'follow my lead'.

Still uneasy, I shot after his zigzag pattern down the hallway. It was almost deadly, as a camera zapped a fly buzzing around with a laser cannon mounted on the side of the camera.

"Intruder located." A monotonous female voice projected from everywhere at once. "Defense protocol activated."

"What does that mean?" I asked, getting extremely nervous.

Some of Cobalt's brilliant insight blossomed forth at that moment. "It means they fire on movement! FLY!" he screamed.

Needless to say, we jetted out of that hallway before anything else could go wrong. Eventually after hiding in the nearest broom closet for what seemed like hours but was in any probability only minutes, the sirens died down.

"I think we're good." I breathed.

ELSEWHERE IN THE BASE

Fluttershy's POV

Oh, hi, I-I'm Fluttershy. I'm in a clear tube at the moment where creatures that call themselves humans are doing research on me and my best friend Angel Bunny. I mean, um, besides my other best friends of course.

"Please, just leave us alone." I whimpered, completely scared out of my mind as a metal device scanned me.

"I don't get it." I heard a human female say, muffled through the tube. "The scans show completely biological results, but nothing exists like this on earth. Besides the rabbit." She added.

I took time away from being scared to comfort Angel, who was both shivering and kicking the tube angrily at the same time.

"It's okay, Angel. We'll get out of here and it'll be all fine." I reassured him, not sure if I was as much trying to comfort him as I was the both of us. "Cobalt Spikes and Rainbow Dash will save us." I patted his head. "They always help when we need it."

BACK WITH OUR HEROES

Cobalt's POV

We peered around a corner into a long hallway, and saw one of those sciencey looking marshallows put an eye in front of a scanner. It beeped and flashed a green light, and a door slid open. He entered and it closed behind him.

"Cool." Rainbow muttered, trotting up to the device. There weren't any security cameras here. "I wonder if I…" she put her eye up to the scanner like the marshmallow had. It beeped again, but only flashed red.

"Non biological eye color identified. Please present proper eye code for entry." It monotoned.

"What? What's wrong with pink eyes?" Rainbow complained, obviously upset.

"Nothing at all." I patted her on the back and grinned. "Though there's a much simpler way to do this." I turned and bucked the scanner as hard as I could. It made dying electrical noises and flashed green before sparking randomly. The door slid open.

Well, I can't say I wasn't surprised at what I saw. Fluttershy and Angel were trapped in a tube made of glass, and tons of computers flashed around it, registering colorful, wire framed images of Fluttershy and Angel, who were currently either struggling or cowering against the tube. Marshmallows in lab coats stopped whatever they were doing and stared at us.

"Um, hi." I said awkwardly. "Uh, we're here for our friend, so we can do this the easy way or the hard way."

"Easy way is best." Rainbow added, extending her wings to be ready for a fight. I did the same.

One of the marshmallows slowly pressed a button and carefully said. "Security, there are more of them."

"Hard way then." I muttered, taking off and bucking the glass surrounding Fluttershy and Angel, breaking it into tiny shards. Most of the marshmallows fled.

Fluttershy gave me a huge hug. "Oh, thank you so, so much! It's so scary here!"

"Hey, I helped too." Rainbow broke into the hug and we all embraced each other in happy reunion. But it didn't last long, as an explosion shook the building and alarms blared.

"What the?" I began, but then we were forced to grab Fluttershy and Angel and fly as fast as we could down narrow hallways as marshmallows with handheld laser cannons. We tried to go back the way we came, but that was blocked out already, so we backtracked and tried another hallway.

Of course there were the laser cameras, but as I watched, they emitted purple sparks and started moving around spastically.

"Wow, I guess good things happen around you two." Fluttershy said, having seen this weird thing. She spoke a moment too soon, though, as doors started closing in front of us.

"Hang on!" I yelled, having had a crazy, insane idea. "Slide!" I tucked my wings into a barrel roll, somehow not clipping my wings or killing Fluttershy as I slid under the door, adventurer style. I used the roll to pull back up and slam a button, reopening the door for Rainbow and Angel.

"Thanks!" Rainbow gasped for air while Angel saluted respectfully at my daring.

A door was to our left, so we busted through that and came to a spiral staircase with more spastic cameras shooting lasers everywhere. One shot right in front of us and shot a line of nothing in the staircase.

I gave an impressed whistle. "I don't favor anypony's chances against one of those."

"Stop admiring and start flying!" Rainbow screamed as a laser nearly took her head off.

"Don't fly, it's easier to dodge on the ground!" I advised, pulling Fluttershy out of harm's way and galloping up the stairs.

We managed to make it all the way to the top, but couldn't kick out the vent. I cursed in anger. "We're doomed!"

Rainbow Dash's POV

Okay, if Cobalt didn't have any hope or cheer left, then all was lost. I swear if he had been an element he would've been hope. Fluttershy nearly burst into tears again while I slumped down on the stairs. "That's it. We're done for."

Cobalt smiled and looked up. "Don't give up so soon."

I shifted my gaze glumly upward, but perked up soon after as the vent shimmered purple and was pried open. Cobalt laughed in sheer relief. "Ladies and rabbits first!" Fluttershy, Angel, and I exited into the clear, fresh air, followed by Cobalt. A motor noise sounded from above.

"Hi guys!" A voice called over the noise. We looked up and saw Twilight waving down at us from a lavender metal bird. "I 'borrowed' one of their helicopter planes and painted it purple! Hop in!"

LATER

We'd gotten back to Chris' house with the heli-plane, and it hadn't proved too hard to land with Twilight's magic helping. Chris and Chuck met up with us there. We were all congregated in the garage, Twilight and Chuck were talking science/magic, and we were introducing Fluttershy to Chris and vice-versa.

"Um, nice to meet you Chris." Fluttershy said shyly.

"Hi, it's great to meet you too."

I zoned and started listening to Twilight and Chuck's conversation. I'm pretty sure it went like this:

Chuck: So you can really do magic?

Twilight: Yeah.

Chuck: Show me.

Twilight: Okay (levitated a wrench).

Chuck: Wow! Do you mind if I run a few non-harmful tests later?

Twilight: (Laughing) Not at all, but I doubt you'll find anything.

I couldn't stand any more of this boring talk anymore, so I preoccupied myself by running through my task list. We had to find our friends, find Metal Sonic, kick his robotic butt, and get the gems of power back.

That reminded me. "Hey Twilight!"

She turned toward me. "Yeah?"

"Do you still have your element?"

Twilight's face clouded with worry. "No, it just disappeared all of a sudden."

"Mine's gone too." Fluttershy whispered. Meanwhile on the floor, Angel facepalmed.

"Well, we all lost 'em then." Cobalt affirmed. "And now we've gotta find 'em."

Without a second thought, I held my foreleg out into the air. "Team pact?"

Cobalt stuck his foreleg so that it was near mine in an imaginary circle. "Team pact."

Twilight trotted over and put her hoof in the circle too. "I'm in."

Chris and Chuck both put a hand in our imaginary circle. "We'll help too." Chuck said.

Angel sprang up and clung on to my foreleg to show he was in and to avoid falling.

Fluttershy was the last to join and seemed hesitant. "Uh… um…" after a few seconds of waiting, she held out her foreleg and put her hoof in the circle. "Go team?"

ELSEWHERE

Third person POV

Metal Sonic beeped and for a moment his eyes flashed indecipherable text.

"BZZT… TARGET DETECTED… EXECUTING PLAN EGGMAN." His eyes flashed and he started making horrific, insane laughing.

Ooh. Ominous, right? Tune in next week for the next chapter.
