Me: Hi.

Jeffery the Cat: 'Sup.

Me: Just thought I'd put this dude in here because he's epic. I made him with my imagination (cue Spongebob imagination box reference). He looks like a Sonic character ripoff but isn't because I made him before I knew about Sonic.

… I was bored.

Jeffery: HEY!

Cobalt Spikes was resting on a cloud along with his friend Rainbow Dash above the Thorndyke residence. He looked toward her. "I love this. It's just so peaceful here sometimes."

They heard a car horn start blaring in the distance. "Sometimes is the key word." Rainbow sighed.

ELSEWHERE, IN A SEWER

A female pink pony bounced along in an underground pipe. "Sewers are just so stinky! Who would have known that things could get so smelly with these human's waste? What's up with humans anyway? Hands! Oh wow is that a sewer rat?!"

She was quieted as another orange pony with a cowboy hat put a hoof over her mouth. "Pinkie, for the sake of my sanity, put a sock in it, will ya?" the orange pony said with a country accent.

"Sure will, Applejack!" Pinkie grinned hugely.

ONE TITLE SEQUENCE LATER (USE THE ONE IN THE COMMENTS)

"So why are we here?" Cobalt asked, the four ponies and the humans that knew about them being congregated in Chris Thorndyke's room. He reclined on a beanbag.

"To discuss finding the chaos emeralds and elements." Twilight Sparkle, a lavender unicorn informed him. She used her magic to make a few checklists and pass them out. "Now we have the two emeralds and six elements on here, and it's like a scavenger–"

"Really Twilight?" Rainbow asked, tossing her sheet of paper over her shoulder. "Checklists? Scavenger hunts? What are we, nine years old?"

"Um, not to be rude, Twilight, but I have to agree with Rainbow Dash." Fluttershy squeaked, fearing an angry recoil.

"Yeah, we know our objective." Cobalt narrowed his eyes. "Kick robot flank and find these things."

"You might do well as a children's teacher, Twilight." Chuck advised, seeing the possibilities.

"Yeah, some of the kids in the fourth grade would love that kind of thing." Chris nodded.

"Thanks, but no thanks." Twilight smiled a little bit. "But we're getting of topic. "We need to figure out how to find these things. Chuck and I have been working on a way to combine my tracking magic and the different energy signals from the elements and emeralds to make a sort of hoofheld radar."

"Impressive." Cobalt nodded. "But how soon can we make this thing?"

"As soon as we find one of either type of gem." Chuck explained. "We have to have a sample first."

"That's, um, good." Fluttershy whispered. "But we have to find one first though, which might take more than a week."

"In that case, let the two fastest things alive assist!" Rainbow brohoofed with Cobalt and the two took off out the open window.

"Will they be okay?" Chris asked worriedly.

"Oh sure." Twilight smiled. "Though they might get a little… sidetracked."

"Master Chris? Master Chuck? Are you in there?" a foreign accented voice asked from outside the door, causing the four to stiffen.

"That's Ella!" Chuck hissed to the ponies. "Quick, blend!" Fluttershy and Twilight got the message and quickly plastered stupid smiles on their faces, slumping lifelessly against the side of the bed to blend in with the other stuffed animals just as the doorknob turned and Ella came in.

She was a slightly overweight, darker skin toned woman in a blue dress with a huge smile on her face. "Hello!" she said. "Are you playing with master Chris, master Chuck?"

"Um, yeah, Ella." Chuck excused himself from any further judgment.

"You know that it is time for your weekly swimming exercise, master Chuck. You should be at the adult pool by now." Ella corralled him out the door. "Master Chris, are you having fun?"

"Yes, Ella!" Chris put a fake grin on his face. Please go away. He thought, noticing how close the two ponies seemed to having to blink.

"What are these?" Ella asked, reaching down and picking up Twilight. Twilight kept the dumb, lifeless look on her face. "Are they yours? They seem kind of girly."

"Um, they're foreign. All the rage in Canada. M-my mom sent them." Chris stammered. Ella stared at Twilight, and the lavender unicorn couldn't help focusing her vision on the human. Ella cried out and dropped Twilight. "It looked at me!"

Chris laughed; sure they were sunk at this point. "Don't be silly, Ella. It's a stuffed animal, it can't see."

Ella scooped up Fluttershy now. "And I suppose this one can't do the same thing, master Chris?" Fluttershy found herself beginning to sweat in terror, and silently tried to keep her pupils the same size and her wings tucked down.

When nothing else happened, Ella set down Fluttershy and took deep breath so calm herself. "I'm sorry, master Chris. I guess I'm just on edge today." She left the room muttering about possession.

"Oh sweet Celestia that was close." Twilight sighed in relief, standing up again.

"She's scary." Fluttershy shivered.

"We're going to have to be more careful." Chris said thoughtfully. "If they do happen to see you, then act like stuffed animals, got it?"

The ponies nodded.

IN THE CITY

"So, if you were an element, where would you hide?" Rainbow asked Cobalt as they streaked through the city, so fast that nobody could recognize their forms.

"I'd probably go to somewhere nobody would ever think to look." Cobalt guessed. They banked into an alley to stop for a second. "Like that." He gestured to a dumpster. "Shall we?" he offered Rainbow a hoof.

She snorted. "What a gentlecolt. Offering to take your filly into a trash can." She took his hoof and hoisted him in the pile of garbage first. "Get in there."

"Smells like cheese with a hint of barf." Came his voice from inside.

"Cannonball!" Rainbow performed the classic dive into the heap of refuse.

A FEW MINUTES LATER

The ponies' heads popped out of the dumpster. "What do you have so far?" Rainbow asked.

"Fake teeth, a banana peel, and a pair of broken glasses." Cobalt tossed his findings onto the street below. "What about you?"

"Underpants and a weird can that says Aspirin." Cobalt just noticed the tighty whities stuck on top of her head, and busted out laughing.

"What's so funny?" she asked, provoking him to laugh harder. "I don't think they're in here." She growled, angry at not understanding the joke. "Let's move on."

BACK AT THE THORNDYKE'S MANSION

Chris was watching the news again with the two ponies, posing once more as stuffed animals.

"In recent news, there is a–"

Whatever the news anchor had been about to say was cut off by the screen flickering and another announcer coming on. "This is an urgent news announcement. A gigantic robot has appeared downtown with a rotund man piloting it by the name of Eggman. This man has given us three hours to surrender our freedom or he will destroy Station Square. We go live to his confrontation with the mayor."

At this point all three of the viewers were staring intently at the screen.

A flustered looking gray haired man stood in front of a powerful looking robot with a guy inside. The man inside had a big bushy orange moustache and an interestingly designed red suit.

"I-I'm not in a position to hand over the deed to the city, mister Eggman sir." The mayor stammered.

"Then who would I see for that?" the fat man asked menacingly, holding up a button trigger.

"Um, the, the president, sir." The mayor answered.

Chris flipped off the television. "We're going downtown. Now."

"Ooh!" Twilight seemed excited. "We can take my purple helicopter plane!"

LATER, DOWNTOWN

The two ponies and Chris looked down from the helicopter mode of the plane, piloted magically by Twilight, at the scene where the Eggman was terrorizing the citizens. "Where are Cobalt and Rainbow?" Twilight yelled over the noise of the plane.

Fluttershy whispered something unintelligible.

"They'd better get here soon." Chris said.

WITH COBALT AND RAINBOW

"What's with all the screaming?" Cobalt asked, hearing a few terrified yells.

Rainbow shrugged. "I don't know. Wanna check it out?"

"As if you don't know my answer." He grinned. "Let's go!" Their forms turned into trails of their mane color as they hauled flank nearer to the screams. Halfway there, they were stopped by Twilight's purple helicopter plane. "Hey guys!" Twilight yelled.

"Hi Twilight!" Cobalt grinned. "What's the biz over there?"

"Some whacko named Eggman in a giant robot is trying to take over the town!"

Cobalt's eyes widened then narrowed in a period of about two seconds. He clenched his teeth. "I hate that name."

"Why?" Chris asked.

"Amnesia, so I don't know, and we're running out of time!"

"Wait. How do you know?" Rainbow asked.

"Sixth sense or something like that. He's edging on pressing his little button and letting the robot's arsenal rip." Cobalt pantomimed a miniature explosion with his forelegs. "Boom. Kapow."

Twilight looked on a little screen that showed the live TV broadcast and saw Eggman fingering the trigger impatiently. "That's a dead on description. Whoa."

Fluttershy raised her voice only slightly, still unheard.

"What?" Cobalt asked.

"Good luck!" Fluttershy yelled, covering her mouth with a blush. "Sorry." You could read her lips on this last word, but not hear it.

IN A SEWER SYSTEM

"Ah think we've finally found an exit." Applejack tipped up her hat to gain a better view of the porthole. "Ah'll be glad to get outta this here stink pipe."

"Yay!" Pinkie cheered, pulling up the sewer lid from the outside. "Come on, silly filly!"

Applejack raised an eyebrow. "But wait… y'all were just right in here, and now you're out there, but how did ya–"

"Hurry up, Applejack!" Pinkie complained. "I've been waiting for like, five seconds out here!"

Applejack sighed in exasperation. "Ya can work some kind of magic without a horn, can't ya?" she asked as she ascended the ladder rungs.

"Duh! It's called breaking the fourth wall, according to the writer!" Pinkie bounced up and down.

"Ah will never understand ya." Applejack said, climbing out of the stinking sewer. Just as they were replacing the sewer lid, an explosion rattled the ground. "What in tarnation?"

The two ponies hustled outside of the alley the sewer entrance was in, and saw the giant robot holding its arm out in front of it, a building smoking with a crater in the side in its obvious firing path.

"You have tried my patience for too long, mister mayor." A human inside of the robot growled. "Your answer. Now."

"Not so fast, Egg-butt!" they heard Cobalt's voice call out from in the distance, seeing him rocket into the robot, knocking it off balance. Rainbow Dash followed but a few milliseconds later, trying to kick through the shell on the robot. Her hoof connected with a metallic clang, but the rebound made her recoil in pain.

"What's this?" the man inside the robot asked. "An equine with wings? This should be a fun target practice. Missile Wrist, attack!"

ON THE HELI-PLANE

"Could you fire the gatling gun?" Chris yelled over the turmoil.

"No!" Twilight struggled to keep the helicopter steady. "There are too many civilians and we could accidentally shoot Cobalt or Rainbow Dash!"

Fluttershy leaned out of the plane and vomited; she couldn't stand this talk of killing.

BACK ON THE GROUND

The two pegasi busied the robot by leaping onto its punches and making some rude taunts.

Cobalt leaped onto an arm and pulled his lower eyelid down. Rainbow smacked her flank in a 'hit me right here if you can' motion. "Can't hit me ya pile of junk!" Cobalt went as far as to lie down as if he was napping.

Eggman growled and pushed a button, making Missile Wrist shoot a high velocity rocket into the air at the dark blue pegasus stallion. Cobalt barely dodged it; even so its tail fins sliced a cut below his eye. He laughed. "Now we're getting somewhere!"

Out of sheer luck he barrel rolled under another punch, the missile being heat seeking and coming back to hit the punching arm instead of its true target. The arm exploded, the electricity currents guiding it to the battery pack of the robot. Hearing the telltale sound of an electrical explosion about to go off, Eggman pushed a button, saying, "Uh oh. Got to go!" He ejected just in time to avoid being exploded along with his mech. As he hovered off in his clearly labeled Eggmobile, he yelled back at the two pegasi, "I'll get you two nasty blue horses if it's the last thing I do! Curse you, uh…"

"Cobalt Spikes and Rainbow Dash!" Cobalt yelled after him, picking up a stone and chucking it at his retreating Eggmobile. "Here's something for your trip!" If you listened closely, you could hear the clank of rock against metal in the distance and an enraged mad scientist screaming. "I hate those ponies!"

Cobalt and Rainbow exchanged a high hoof and hug, laughing, but there wasn't any time for celebration yet, as they heard very familiar voices screaming behind them.

A FEW SECONDS EARLIER

Now, Applejack and Pinkie didn't just sit still while this battle was being fought, but climbed to the top of the building fired on by Missile Wrist, but when the explosion rocked the earth, they teetered dangerously on the edge of a building, and fell.

PRESENT TIME

The two pegasi whipped around without a second thought, and caught their friends just before they hit the ground. "Hi Applejack." Cobalt said to the mare he'd caught.

"Sup Pinkie?" Rainbow Dash asked her friend.

The two earth pony mares were too shocked to respond, and it was like this as they followed Twilight's helicopter plane back to the Thorndyke residence and until they landed.

I'm too lazy to write all the rest, so a basic summary is that they got back and everypony met everybody and got settled in.

I'm back to my normal update schedule, and thanks for all the support guys. It really helps motivate me. Besides, all I'd be otherwise is some teenager typing on a website.

So review, follow, favorite, and see y'all next chapter

Jeffery: Wait! Don't stop now; this is the only chapter I'll ever make a cameo in!

Me: Tough luck.
