Almost as soon as Rainbow saw Sonic's Lycanthrope Transformation, the sun rose and he reverted back to a "normal" hedgehog. He looked at his wrist, at a bracelet that she never noticed before. It was basically a silver band and a limestone orb connecting them. The expression on his face looked like a combination of mourning and bliss.
"So, you are Sonic the Hedgehog?" a familiar voice said behind them. Rainbow looked back and saw Princess Celestia, and her sister Princess Luna. "Just what happened here?"
"I think Sonic developed Lycanthrope," Rainbow explained. "Of course I've never seen a werewolf stretch his arms that far, and I've never seen a werewolf lift things bigger than they are."
"Is that normal?" Luna asked.
"It hasn't been for a while," Sonic said. "But I did turn into that thing once."
"Why don't we discuss it at the palace?" Celestia suggested.
SonicSonic was brought back to reality by the time they reached the castle. Everyone was looking at Sonic like he was a freak… more than usual. Fluttershy was cowering behind Rarity, who was just staring like Sonic came back from the dead after a year. Applejack was walking backwards slowly and Twilight was trying to look for a reason to keep trusting Sonic.
Sonic heard a flapping, like small wings carrying an object that was half as small. At first he thought it was in his head.
"Chip…" he said without thinking. Then that flapping became louder and he realized that it was neither in his head, or flapping wings. It was a spinning propeller. He looked out over the mountain that was Canterlot's Perch. A plane came into view. It was blue and yellow, and it had that old fashioned style with two sets of wings on top of each other. Everyone around him started to hear this.
"Tails!" he exclaimed. He rushed into the palace and found the balcony, which was the most appropriate place for the Tornado I to land. When the plane came to a full stop Tails came out, along with Knuckles and… Amy.
"Sonic!" Amy rushed up and gave him a hug that he actually started to miss. He hadn't seen the pink hedgehog in what he thought was a Mobian week.
"Amy, we're here to help Sonic and the others, not suffocate them!" Knuckles said. The red echidna was not the biggest surprise, he was the first Sonic thought would volunteer for this. But he was still happy to see him.
"Knuckles, she hasn't seen him in a week," Tails said. "I think she deserves to let out this kind of stress. Better this way than with her hammer." Tails was twelve already. He was Sonic's best friend, so he wouldn't forget Tails' birthday… that is if it did pass. He was really good with machines and he knew how to make anyone laugh.
Then Sonic realized something. Knuckles was the guardian of the Master Emerald… on Angel Island… On Mobius. The Master Emerald was the most valuable thing on the Planet. Even Knuckles' girlfriend, Rouge the Bat, went after the Emerald while she was still in the thieving business. And Knuckles just came to… Where he was, and left the Emerald ripe for the taking.
Rainbow DashSonic seemed to be enjoying the company of his friends. At least that's what it looked like to Rainbow. Then Pinkie yelped and ducked under the Railing of the Balcony.
"Pinkie? What's wrong?" Applejack asked.
"Twitchy Tail," was all Pinkie needed to say to her friends. Sonic and the gang still needed more to understand what was happening.
"When Pinkie's Tail twitches, something normally falls nearby," Twilight explained.
"What form of superstition is that?" Tails asked. Then something really heavy hit Sonic on the head. It looked like a giant diamond dyed green… sort of like the Chaos Emeralds but bigger.
"Is this…?" Sonic asked.
"Oh yeah…" Knuckles said. "I forgot we brought the Master Emerald here." However Pinkie's tail was still twitching.
"Did you guys bring anything else?" Rainbow asked. Tails, Knuckles, and Amy all went wide eyed, and slowly looked up. Rainbow followed their eyes and saw… a giant Meteor on a crash course for the Palace.
"That's… Angel Island!" Sonic exclaimed. He started spinning in a ball and dashed up the wall and straight to the island. Just before it made impact, it stopped and hovered over them.
"Nice save, Sonic!" Tails yelled. Rainbow just fainted.
