Sonic was surprised by the arrival of the Babylon Rogues. What surprised him more was that Jet found it in his heart to help him. Every time they met it was always Jet trying to surpass Sonic's speed on Extreme Gear, which was Jet's territory already. Sonic was about to tell Jet that he didn't have time to race, but something he never expected came out of Jet's mouth.
"I'm not here to race you," he said. "I'm here to drop a few things off." He had storm and wave pull out two swords each before presenting a fifth, and a gauntlet. The swords all looked familiar. And to make it more complicated he remembered seeing them around the same time too. He found out just when he noticed the gauntlet. It had a gold band around the wrist and a red stone on the back of it.
"No Way!" Sonic Exclaimed. "Caliburn!?"
"It is I, Sir Sonic," the double edged sword said. "It's been many centuries, hasn't it?"
"Not for me, I saw you a couple of years ago! But I'm still glad to see you."
"Sir… Sonic?" Rainbow and the Rouges asked.
"It's a long story," Sonic explained. "And even if I told you, Amy wouldn't even believe it."
"Okay so who are these guys… and what's with the talking sword?"
Sonic explained the Rouges first, introducing each one and their specialties. Then he explained Caliburn, as the Sacred Sword, King Arthur drew from the Rock it was placed in by Merlin. It was in the middle of this explanation that he veered to talking about the other swords. Arondight, the Sacred Sword of Lancelot, the leader of the Knights of the Round Table, Galatine, the twins for Sir Gawain, and Laevatein, the Sword used by Percival, Knight of the Grail.
"Well if these Swords came from King Arthur's realm why are they here?" Rainbow asked.
"Something extraordinary is about to happen, and it could destroy this place, and all others if we are not taken up by are masters" Caliburn said.
"Then how are Arondight and the others going to help?"
"The descendants of the master of a Sacred Sword become the proper master when it comes to their time."
"So you need to find the kids of the Knights?" Jet asked.
"I have reason to believe that Sonic met them before he met the knights." Caliburn said. Sonic got the same feeling. And to add icing to the cake they were with him in Equestria (He figured out the name of the place from Rainbow's Memory).
Rainbow DashSonic decided to take the swords until he ran into their masters, whoever they were. And the Rouges stayed around to see what they could do until the portal to Babylon Garden opened up again. Rainbow was fine with that. Around nighttime the Rouges already knew about Sonic's Lycanthrope, and Caliburn decided he was fine with it. But since Sonic wasn't in any trouble he decided to Drop the Swords off at Twilight's and find a place to sleep. Rainbow would've offered, but only a Pegasus could touch a cloud, let alone walk on one. Then he just decided to sleep in a tree or something.
They reached Twilight's place and dropped off all of the Sacred Swords. Sonic went out into Sweet Apple Acres climbed a tree and went to sleep. Rainbow was kind of Jealous of him when she got home. She was trying to go to sleep, but kept thinking about what Sonic did for her. He saved her life. Finally around midnight, she fell asleep. She saw more of Sonic's life. He sat in a throne with what looked to be an old fashioned lamp, and started demanding things from a purple guy with a collapsible scimitar.
"My first wish! Bring Shara back to Life!" a girl with pink hair appeared following a circle of light.
"My second wish! Restore the stories of this world!" some form of lettering went flying into the door behind the man.
"My third wish! You will return to the lamp sealed for the rest of time as you were in days of old!" he turned into a ball of light and was sucked into the lamp.
Then Rainbow saw Sonic, getting golden armor clasped onto his body, a broken Caliburn regenerating and transforming.
"Whoa!" Sonic said.
"That's the greatest of the Sacred Swords," Rainbow heard Amy say. "Excalibur!"
After that she forgot what was going on. But with every moment of Sonic's life that passed before her… she felt some strong feeling become stronger. She couldn't identify it.
SonicSonic was walking around town the next morning with Caliburn by his side in Excalibur's Scabbard. Last time Sonic saw it, the scabbard could make anything, even entire countries immortal. It must have lost its power, because he felt no difference in what he felt when he showed up in Equestria. It was near Christmas time for Equestria, and Pinkie was setting up a Party for the town for three weeks straight.
Finally Christmas came around and Sonic was enjoying himself a lot better than he ever did on Mobius. Christmas there was rarely ever enjoyable. The Party started and Pinkie was the first to sing the Karaoke as usual. Then Sonic did something a little untraditional for Christmas time. He got up and requested a song for someone special.
"I'd like to dedicate this song to someone special to me," he said before he started singing "Bless the Broken Road."
"I set out on a narrow way, many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
I think about the years I spent, just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost, and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there, you understand
It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
But now I'm just rolling home into my lover's arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you"
Sonic felt uplifted, and most of the Ponies were staring at him with awed expressions. Rainbow Dash ran off when Amy grabbed Sonic in a bear hug. They had no idea that the song was for Rainbow.
