Living in New York City/State sucks. Those ELA State Assessments were sooooo BORING! I really wish I hadn't finished early. And then there's a math one at the end of the month. Luckily I'm good at math. But then, I'll be finished SUPER early, and still be booooooooooored!
Oh, and speaking of math... If you noticed last chapter, I have changed my name yet again. This time, it is "The Marvelous Mathmagician" There's no real reason. I'm just really good at math. Like really good. And now you know, [And knowing is only half the battle! G.I. Joe! Sorry...] even though none of you care. Plus, it makes a good alliteration with the letter "M". Plus, I didn't know that malicious was a bad thing at the time. Go figure.
UltimateCCC: You're too kind.
TheAwesomeCoolJay: Yeah, it was pretty good, wasn't it? I know I felt good!
Wilhelm Wigworthy: Oh, just you wait...
sonicth91: Took your advice into consideration. Check it out.
gamerman246: Thanks. And, I will keep the description cards. PS: Betweem you and me, I got this finished around Christmas. For the past few months, I've just been editting and adding extra blurbs. Don't tell anyone!
Sonic Lost World: Deadly Friendships Edition
Chapter 2: A Deserted Friend
3rd Person P.O.V:
As the Tornado flew across the sky, Sonic looked over his shoulder. He sighed at all of his pony friends trying to get comfortable in the red bi-plane. Sonic and Twilight Sparkle were perched on the left wing, Rainbow Dash was flying below the plane, Pinkie Pie was on the other wing, and Fluttershy, Rarity, and Applejack did their best to fit inside of the three small seats behind Tails, while holding up the fillies. Tails did tell them, it only seats four. They would have to carry the Cutie Mark Crusaders.
"Tell me again how Sonic got us to bring the fillies with us. It seems pretty dangerous for young fillies to follow us young adults across the planet. Don't you think?" Rarity asked Tails as she squirmed in the seat.
"Don't ask me. With a little bit of "cutie marks", a dash of "experience", and a sprinkle of "super power of teamwork", each of you said yes. Sonic's persuasion skills have always been 'up there'. How do you think he persuaded me to take him on this trip in the first place. I knew that we were gonna crash. We almost always do." Tails said as he turned the plane northwest. "Oh yeah, and what's a cutie mark anyways?"
Twilight, who just so happened to overhear, interrupted by magically turning Tails' head to the left towards her, while he maintained his job of keeping the plane in a straight line with his bodacious piloting skills. "Ooh! Sounds like my kind of question! A cutie mark is..." She began to explain as we turn our attention from this to somewhere less boring and redundant.
3rd Person P.O.V:
As Twilight explained what a cutie mark was while dangling 700 feet in the air, Rainbow Dash and Sonic had their own, more fun conversation. "So, let me get this straight. You expect me to believe that Eggman used this Time Eater thingumabob to try to erase all of his past defeats from the timeline?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"Yeah it was all lighthearted and fun, but the first hour or so was pretty scary for Tails and the rest of my friends. They had to float around without a body until I saved them. Don't tell Tails I told you, but he's still having an occasional nightmare." Sonic explained.
"Yeah. And Sonic had to team up with his ten year old self, Tails, and his five year old self (So... adorable) and pass through many nostalgic stages from their main adventures and defeat Eggman with Super Sonic in order to fix the timeline and get back to his sixteenth birthday party. Hey! How come you didn't invite me?!" Pinkie Pie explained, holding up a 20th Anniversary Edition poster of Modern and Classic Sonic doing one of their signature poses. Wha- HEY! GIVE THAT BACK! THAT'S MINE!
"Uh... yeah. That's pretty much what happened. It was awesome. Going back in time to all of these past moments and revisiting them. It was fun. Technically you should've been there.(*1) You are a part of my memories. Maybe you're just not canon to my history or something." Sonic remembered with his scarf flowing in the wind, looking really cool.
"Alright. So tell me about this Metal Sonic. How did you beat him again?"
"Well, Dr. Eggman first made another Death Egg. But this time around a little planet coincidentally called Little Planet. Then, he resurrected Metal Sonic from where Sonic defeated him in Sonic Generations. Wouldn't that be a good title if your adventure in time was a videogame?(*2) Anyway, with Metal Sonic back, he was powered up with some sort of weird orb from a temple. Then he chased after Sonic. When they met, Sonic and Tails battled with Metal Sonic in an amusement park. In space, Sonic and Tails raced Metal Sonic again and beat Metal to his own trap. They both then defeated Eggman's latest creation inside of the Death Egg Mk. II, the Egg Heart, causing a chain explosion, shutting down the fortress." Pinkie explained again.
"Darn it Pinkie! Stop spoiling stuff! This is my thing! Let me do all of the explaining from now on!" Sonic complained, stomping his feet on the wing of the plane and waving his arms around. Rainbow Dash laughed at the hedgehog's reaction. He was pouting just like a foal would if it dropped its ice cream onto the ground.
Sonic the Hedgehog's P.O.V:
As I threw my really good fake tantrum to entertain Rainbow and Pinkie, I felt a light tapping on my right shoulder. Immediately, I stopped pouting, and looked up at Tails. He was the one tapping me on the back. "Yeah. What's up?"
Tails picked up his goggles from his face, and now that he had my attention asked, "Do you know much of anything about this place? Cause I have no idea where I'm going,"
"Only what you know. I don't do directions. I just go with the flow. Trusting my insti-." I informed him.
"Twilight? Which way do we go?" Tails asked, taking my advice with a grain of salt as he interrupted me.
"I'm not sure either. We usually just take the train to get from place to place. But we're supposed to be headed for Appleoosa. That's where I can sense the most robotic activity. I can't tell. This is my first time flying to the desert," Twilight asked, looking down at the endless amount of grassy farm plains just a few miles west of Ghastly Gorge. "in a PLANE."
"Right. I'd hate to say this, but we're lost."
"Wait! I know which way to go!" I shouted. Tails rolled his eyes after staring at me for a few seconds. The he pressed a button, and a(n X-Box 360) controller appeared behind him as he let go of the steering wheel. I rushed up and grabbed it, taking control of the plane. I turned the plane northeast, and kept following my own directions. After about 5 minutes, a desert could be seen over the horizon. "Boom." I gloated as the controller went back inside of the plane.
"How'd you know which way to go?" The Princess asked me, confused at my accurate directions.
"Just a hunch." (*3) I joked as the controller sank back into the plane. Actually Pinkie had explained all of this to me while the author was making lunch for his brother during the epilogue of the Sonic Colors story. Plus, she gave me a 2013 edition map of Equestria as a parting gift.
Pinkie burst into laughter for some reason, but was soon interrupted by Tails' voice. "Alright everyone! I've found Eggman. He's in that desert down there. We just have to find him." Tails broadcasted.
I nodded, grabbed my crimson red bag, and jumped off of the plane. I skydived down to the entrance of a nearby temple, flipping and doing amazing gymnastics with his scarf following suit in the wind. I was doing tricks that even Gabby Douglass could only dream about.(*4). All while still putting my bag on. Then, I waited for Tails to land. "Whoa. He's so... AWESOME!" Pinkie Pie, Twilight Sparkle, and Sweetie Belle shouted.
"Eh. Needs to be about 20% cooler." Rainbow Dash gloated along with rolling her eyes, before she took a nose dive to the ground. As if she didn't think it was awesome. Trust me, it was pretty awesome. I've got the gold medals to prove it!
Zavok's P.O.V:
Meanwhile, this "Eggman" was also having fun, yelling at us. How I despise him so...
"These animals are quite underwhelming," The idiotic scientist spoke while holding up an innocent bunny by the ears. "I'm disappointed in you incompetent fools. Violently disappointed." Eggman finished before he threw the bunny behind him, and stared at us, the Deadly Six.
The red one, (I just realized the game never speaks his name, so I'll just get it over with now) me, Zavok walked up to Dr. Eggman, and I poked his chest. "We don't care about your disappointment, "Master'."
Dr. Eggman reached into his pockets, and pulled out a conch. (Me: All hail the Magic Conch! (Another reference)) "Do you care now?" He said before he blew into it, sending out a pain into me and my brothers. We groaned in pain as the horrid music played. "Next time, bring better animals!"
Zomom's P.O.V:
Eggman sighed at the "weakness" of us. Mom said that I'm the muscle of the group though! I have extra strength. "You! Fat one! Go take care of the blue pest." Eggman called, pointing to the screen behind him.
"Hey! Who you callin' fat, Fatty?!" I asked, kinda sorta seeing the irony in Eggman's order.
"You! Now if you hurry up and destroy Sonic, I've got an even bigger sandwich for you." Eggman bribed me, throwing the sandwich into the air. Of course I was going to take it. I was hungry as always.
"Oh boy! Sandwich!" I cheered as I jumped up, and caught the sandwich. I took a bite, biting into the sandwich as I landed onto the ground, causing a bit of the floor to cave in. I ignored the little "mess" I made and went off running, destroying the floorboards with each step.
"Oh... help me." Eggman groaned, putting a hand over his face.
3rd Person P.O.V:
As the Tornado landed next to the mummy wrapped awesome scarf wearing Sonic and the bare Rainbow Dash, the gang all jumped out of the plane at the same time. "Whew. That was some mighty good flyin' Sugarfox. I didn't expect an 11 year old to be that good at flying a plane. And that is the honest truth." Applejack complimented Tails.
"Thanks AJ. That means a lot." Tails thanked her as the fox and rest of the ponies walked up to the speedsters.
"HE'S THAT YOUNG?!" The Cutie Mark Crusaders asked loudly, surprised at Tails' age. He was only like a year older than they were!
"Okay. Now, we just need to find out where we are. Then, we can go after the "Not So Deadly Six." Sonic directed, ignoring the CMC. Everyone looked around. Applejack grew excited.
"I know where we are! We're near good ole Appleoosa! My cousin should be around here. Let's go Applejack! We haven't seen Braeburn in soooo long!" Apple Bloom cheered, happy to see her cousin again.
"Uh... I don't know. Braeburn can be kinda... What's the word I'm looking for?" Applejack wanted to say something, but couldn't exactly find the right words.
"Vexatious? Irritating? Doltish?" Tails guessed.
"Bothersome? Troubling? Simpleminded?" Sweetie Belle added.
"Shortsighted? Nonsensical?" Twilight attempted.
"Sure? If you could translate that into English." Applejack sighed. Tails face palmed. And Sweetie Belle and Twilight Sparkle face hoofed. Being smart sucks sometimes.
Sonic sped up to the front of Applejack and her earth pony sister. "Now hold on just a second. We should most definitely find your cousin. Maybe he'll know something that could be useful to solving our problem. But, how do we get there?" Sonic pointed out.
"Yeah Applejack. Sonic has a point. We know nothing about this place. We could use a guide." Tails added.
"I've got a map of Equestria. Courtesy of Pinkie. That's me! We just have to head..." Pinkie started. She began to drag out the word head, and started twirling around in a circle. As she spun, she also turned the map, sort of folding it. After about half a minute, she stopped, and revealed an origami . "We have to head Northeast. We're not too too far actually. We are on the edge of the Desert Badlands. We'll see Appleoosa in about a half hour."
"Too long. Eight minutes. Tops." Sonic said, placing a hand on his hips.
"All right! Now, let's reach that town before we die of thirst!"
3rd Person P.O.V:
(Music Insert: Sonic Lost World - Desert Ruins Zone 1 music)
Sonic, Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo took off for the town at warp speed. For a town so close, there was a lot of traps, temples, dungeons, and pits that needed to be passed. Sonic started to move his feet in a figure 8 motion, and sped up slightly faster than Rainbow Dash. 'Dang. He really is fast! Probably some cheap trick with his shoes. If I could see his shoes clearly.'(*5) Scootaloo processed in her mind, as she rode on top of the Pegasus. Sonic and Rainbow Dash left the rest of their friends in the dust as they took off, scarf flailing in the wind.
"I hope that those three don't get into any trouble. That would be very unfortunate. Even at Sonic's standards." Fluttershy said worried about her friend's well beings.
"Sonic's crashed into walls, burnt himself in a pit of lava, fallen headfirst into the planet from space, and fallen into the ocean so many times, that it's hard to keep track. There isn't a single hour where Sonic doesn't get into trouble or wound up hurt." Tails laughed, using finger quotes to emphasize his point.
Twilight Sparkle and Sweetie Belle laughed as well. "Girls! I think that Sonic hurting himself recklessly is not a laughing matter. Much." Rarity scolded at the two before bursting into giggles herself.
"Sorry. Let's go. We have a lot of ground to cover, if we're to catch the fastest things alive." Twilight said, as she teleported to a ruined temple door.
Sonic and Rainbow Dash ran and flew up to 6 motobug badnicks in a row. Sonic smiled, as he jumped up and kicked one into the rest. As he landed, he accelerated off after the rainbow wake of Rainbow Dash with a spin dash.
As Sonic reached the two Pegasi, there were structures everywhere, that looked like ramps. Sonic used his parkour abilities to run up a side of the ramp. When he reached the top, he fully charged up a spin dash, and rolled to the other side of the ramp. Then he jumped, gaining some big air. He jumped onto a tree, and ran down a side onto the ground.
Rainbow Dash was still flying ahead, but only by a little. She noticed a lot of quicksand in the distance. "Sonic! There's quicksand up ahead. Be careful!" Rainbow called out.
Sonic nodded his head, and sped up once more. He spin dashed through a couple of motobugs, and noticed an enormous sand worm pop out of the sand! Sonic slowed down, and turned around. He ran up the side of another ramp, and shot forward like a rocket with a spin dash after reaching the top. He did some amazing flip tricks and his velocity allowed for him to gain enough air to cross the sandy pit. He landed on some solid ground, and kept running.
Rainbow Dash's P.O.V:
(Music Continue: Sonic Lost World - Desert Ruins Zone 1 music)
The Squirt and I landed in front of some cacti the size of at least 3 apple trees rolling in a circle.
'What the hay? Seriously, rolling cacti? What will the world come to next? Giant fruit rolling around?' Rainbow Dash asked, as she facehoofed herself. Sonic rolled up behind them, and silently tapped Scootaloo and me with his fingers. We quickly turned around, ready to buck whoever was coming towards us, only to see Sonic.
"We should probably wait for Tails and the others. Let's go and find some animal capsules." He suggested. Scootaloo clapped her hooves in agreement. Sonic took Scootaloo from off of my back, and ran up the side of a ruined door like thing. On top, was no other than a capsule. "Cool. Eggman better have a good reason for stuffing cute animals in here!" Sonic promised, confusing Scootaloo. Scootaloo shrugged this off, hay, I would have too, and just pressed the giant yellow button sitting atop the capsule.
Miles "Tails" Prower's P.O.V:
"Hey! There they are!" I shouted, as I started spinning my tails, enabling my power to fly into the air. This really surprised the 2 out of 3 of the Cutie Mark Crusaders. To them, foxes can't fly! Never have! Never will. Until today that is...
"Alright Tails. I guess we can take a look inside of that temple over there. I wonder what that roaring in there is coming from. Probably some really big monster ready to eat us at the sight of a blueberry and a banana, or something like those monsters from during the Dark Gaia/Light Gaia incident, or those aliens and angry animals from the whole Nocturnus Clan thing with Shade." Sonic insisted. As he kept going, reminding me of our scariest adventures, sweat began to form at the top of my forehead, clouding up my goggles.
"Yeah... would you look at the time. Gotta go and give my watch it's lunch. Bye Sonic!" I cried as I quickly flew away in slight fear. I mean, look at that thing! It looked like it was about to collapse! Not only that, but moans could be heard from inside. I could swear that whatever was inside was NOT in a good mood. Sonic was most likely right. It probably ate trespassers for breakfast, lunch, and dinner; having legal archeologists for a snack.
"Oh well. Guess it's just me and you R.D." Sonic said, getting into his usual "ready to race" pose. Rainbow Dash followed suit, allowing for Scootaloo to climb aboard her back.
And with that, Rainbow Dash and Sonic jumped off of the structure, and headed into the temple.
"Okay guys. Looks like we'll tackle the outside. See if there are any shortcuts, or strange findings anywhere." I ordered. I really like it when I'M giving the useful tips and important orders. I feel stronger and older, being one of the youngest of us at eleven years old.
Anyhow, everyone walked next to Fluttershy and I as we flew. Everything was silent until Sweetie Belle spoke up.
"Hey Tails. How can you fly like that? Doesn't that hurt?" She asked.
"I was born like this. I don't know how it happened, but I've always had these. And using them has proven to be useful. After I met Sonic, we always needed these bad boys to fly somewhere of a small distance or catch up to him." I explained.
"Oh. That's cool." Sweetie Belle responded. It was quite obvious that she was confused. Oh well. New laws of physics are made, and then defied like every other week back home anyways.
Scootaloo's P.O.V:
(Music Insert: Sonic Rush: Ethno Circus - Blaze version) or (Sandopolis Zone Classic - Sonic Generations Remix by NicoCW)
Meanwhile, Sonic, Rainbow Dash and I were inside of the temple. "Dang. This is bringing back some serious deja vu," Sonic commented. And I guess that was true. There were ancient relics everywhere, possibly dating back to the "Before Alicorn" time period I learned about in school not too long ago. And these reminded me of one of the Daring Do books that Rainbow Dash had read to me titled "Daring Do and the Ring of Destiny"(*6). I had NO IDEA what Sonic was talking about though. "As I know from movie experience (that makes more sense), do not touch ANYTHING!" Sonic directed, but Rainbow wasn't listening. She noticed a rainbow colored gem. She walked over, and picked it up. She then placed it down and shrugged.
"I don't know what you're talking about. Nothing's happening." And to prove her point, she started playing catch with the gem herself, throwing it higher into the air with each catch.
Suddenly, there was a weird rumbling. "Anypony feel that?" I asked, walking next to the rainbow maned speedster, and my idol.
"Yeah. I can feel it too." Rainbow Dash agreed.
Then, a giant worm rose up from the floor, eating anything in its path from badnicks to relics. I SCREAMED with all of my might! That sure was surprising! Sorry about this, but I hope you're proud of yourself Rainbow Dash! Rainbow dropped the gem in surprise, breaking it into a bazillion pieces.
Sonic grabbed us two Pegasi, and scaled up the nearest wall. The worm was still coming. He started to climb the wall even faster, just avoiding the worm's tongue. And to make things worse, fire came spitting from the walls!
Then, the worm lunged at us three, trying to eat us. I kept screamed loudly, warning Sonic. Sonic jumped over to the next wall, a few feet away, and scaled up the opposite one, without a single drop of speed, just barely avoiding some fire from the wall that we just came from. Once Sonic had reached the top, he threw up Rainbow and I. Sonic back flipped over the ledge, and grabbed us in midair before Rainbow could fly away. He looked down. There was only a black void, which was the monster's mouth. Sonic yelled out a battle cry as he ran past the monster's mouth as it escalated. Sonic then scaled up another wall until he reached the ceiling. He jumped for some vines that were hanging down. He flipped himself over, and climbed across the ceiling using his feet! How could he run on ceilings too? As he was upside down, still carrying us two ponies, we looked down again. The first worm had a little friend! Another worm monster climbed up even faster than the last, coming so close to our little group, that I was able to feel the wet, slimy tongue of the beast on her back hooves. I think Sonic just earned a whole new level of respect from us both!
3rd Person P.O.V:
Outside of the temple, Tails and the other ponies ran and flew about, avoiding badnicks and traps. Sand pits and motobugs were giving chase to everyone, but Tails carried Rarity, Sweetie Belle, and Applejack, and Twilight carried Apple Bloom, while Fluttershy carried no one. And Pinkie Pie was bouncing atop the sand pits without a care in the world, somehow not sinking into the quicksand.
3rd Person P.O.V:
(Music Continue: Sonic Rush: Ethno Circus - Blaze version)
Sonic, Scootaloo, and Rainbow Dash escalated through the temple, until they reached about 5 badnicks. Grabbers from Sonic 2 (and Generations) and Egg Wizards from Sonic Heroes to be exact. There was also a giant dome surrounding an enormous platform with a red prism inside. There was an alternate way to go, because they were also locked in a room. Sonic knew what this meant. This meant to defeat all of the enemies in order to pass. Sonic skidded to a stop, put down Scootaloo, and threw himself upward. He then did midair spin kick at the robots, sending a gust of sharp wind, and homed in at the badnicks. Sonic performed a homing attack on all of them at the same time, releasing all of the chickens and pigs trapped inside. Once all of the badnicks were eradicated, the dome dissolved into thin air and the door unlocked and opened up, allowing the animals to leave. The ponies and hedgehog jumped onto the platform, and it began to float away. Sonic held onto Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash as tight as he could as the platform accelerated, and nearly passed the jump. He jumped while grabbing Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash's tails and jumped into an turning elevator thingy. Sonic boosted while still holding us and accelerated enough so that the "elevators" would move. He repeated this about 4 times, going higher and higher.
Then, as Sonic exited out of the final elevator, his speed carried him off onto a slide of some sort of sludge. The slide caused Sonic to slide down in corkscrews and all sorts of things. And in the corner of the hedgehog's eye, was the exit! Surrounded by a ring of fire! (Who builds this kind of stuff?) Sonic hugged each pony with each arm, and jumped off of the platform. He dived into the exit, just missing the ring of fire, slightly burning a tip of Rainbow Dash's tail, with both ponies scared straight.
"I've never been so scared in my life." Rainbow Dash whispered, giving Sonic a face with very small eye pupils.
"S-Sonic, if your fur is yellow and wet, that's be-be-because of Rainbow D-D-Dash. I think that she peed herself." Scootaloo stuttered, giving Sonic a scared look while cowering behind her hooves. Rainbow Dash turned around in either anger or embarrassment because she didn't.
At that comment, Sonic checked himself. He wasn't yellow or wet anywhere. Or, at least he hoped he wasn't. He shrugged it off, and laughed. It was funny to see such funny faces after cheating death once again with physics defying skills. 'Was THAT why the worms stopped chasing us when we reached the badnicks? SCOOTALOO! RAINBOW DASH! That's disgusting!' Sonic thought to himself, sticking out his tongue in disgust.
Sonic shook his head at the ponies. They were still frozen in fear. Sonic brought his hand back, and lightly slapped his friend's heads. Rainbow Dash was first. "Thanks. Feeling less hysterical now." Rainbow thanked Sonic before he lightly slapped Scootaloo's head.
"Darn. I'm gonna have nightmares all the way until Winter Wrap Up." Scootaloo shuddered.
Rainbow Dash lowered herself down, and allowed Scootaloo to climb onto her. Sonic charged up a spin dash.
"How does he do that, Rainbow?" Scootaloo asked.
"I don't really know. But this guy basically defies physics." Rainbow Dash answered.
"Oh. What are physics?"
"Nothing. Ask Twilight sometime later."
Sonic sent himself rolling around at the speed of sound. He uncurled himself, and started to run at full speed. Sonic came across a whole bunch of robotic twisters. Each twister was full of dust, dried mud, and rocks. Rainbow Dash was right behind him. If what she said about Equestrian weather was true and what Sonic knew from a certain game, then she should be able to destroy the rock throwing robot with a lightning bolt.(*7)
"Yo! Rainbow! I need you to do me a solid." Sonic called.
"Sure. What is it?" Rainbow Dash replied, floating above Sonic.
"I need for you to have a lightning bolt strike that robot tornado. This needs to be perfect. You only have one shot at this."
"I'm on it!"
3rd Person P.O.V:
Tails and Twilight dropped each passenger with care, and landed themselves. As they landed, they saw a truly magnificent sight. The town was close. But, as everyone knows: with any and almost all videogames, when you get to the end, everything gets like ten times harder. There were rolling cacti, worm monsters spewing out purple acid, quicksand pits, and spike traps.
Twilight used her magic to cover everyone with force fields. Tails used his own spin dash to bounce around the place, destroying enemies. Pinkie Pie used her own version of a homing attack by jumping onto each enemy at point blank range to assist Tails. Together, the two destroyed all of the threats, while everypony else bucked away all of the spikes in the way or avoided them altogether. With everything cleared away, it was just a home stretch. They gave it their all, and raced to the town of Appleoosa.
Rainbow Dash's P.O.V:
I did as I was told, even if the order was from Sonic. I flew up, and found the nearest cloud. Then, I jumped onto it, releasing lightning. The lightning accelerated to the robotic tornados, and the giant dust bunny exploded on contact, releasing... a squirrel. Why Sonic and Fluttershy care so much about even the smallest of animals, I have no idea. After this, it was a home free touchdown for the town, Appleoosa. So Sonic, Squirt, and I rushed for the town.
3rd Person P.O.V:
There, in between the mountains, was Appleoosa. That was where the teams would meet up with Applejack and Apple Bloom's cousin Braeburn.
Everyone reached the town strangely at the exact same time. "Yo Tails! Long time no see!(*8)" Sonic shouted as he jogged next to his little brother.
"Sonic! Long time no see!(*8) What's up?" Tails greeted Sonic.
"Oh, you know. Had a near death situation. Nothing out of the ordinary. How are you?" Sonic answered.
"There was a lot of flying. I wish we still had the plane. That would've made work for my tails a whole lot easier." Tails whined, holding his appendages in his hands.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now, let's wrap up this pity party and go already!" Rainbow Dash interrupted.
'Wow. She really is just like Sonic. In speed and attitude.' Tails thought to himself.
Applejack's P.O.V:
At the entrance to (Insert loud cliché Southern accent here) "APPLEOOSA!", there was a young dandelion yellow Earth Pony stallion with an orange mane, a vest, and a hat similar to my own. It was no other than my cousin, Braeburn. "Well howdy there cousin Applejack! It's been so long since I last seen ya! What like 2 years? We're doin' mighty fine with the buffalo thanks to you. Really glad you're back." Braeburn sputtered out, without really thinking.
"It's been 10 months since I first visited you here with my friends, and about 2 since our last reunion." I explained to the stallion, rolling my eyes in annoyance.
But he ignored me, and kept on talking, "Hey there! Welcome to APPLEOOSA!" He greeted us.
"Braeburn, please listen..."
"You listen Applejack! Mind your manners. You haven't introduced me to your compadres. Shame on you,"
"Braeburn, listen. Something terrible is happening!"
"Something terrible is right! You still haven't introduced me to your new friends!"
"Listen Braeburn. I..."
"Ah ah ah! Friends first! Then a tour!"
I sighed. I knew for a FACT that Braeburn wasn't gonna listen until he got his way. That stallion was as stubborn as a turkey was, the day before Thanksgiving. "Braeburn, this is Sonic the Hedgehog," I introduced Sonic to my cousin, and Sonic shook his hoof. "And this is Miles Prower. But, just call him Tails." I introduced Tails to Braeburn, and Tails shook Braeburn's hoof. "Now Braeburn, can we..."
Braeburn already pushed me, my sister, and my friends over to the middle of the town. "This 'ere is APPLEOOSA! Cutest little town in Colterator Canyon,(*8)" Before I could speak again, Braeburn pushed our team of 11 to yet another destination. "And 'ere's our local watering hole," We were pushed somewhere else in a heartbeat. "Here is our Salt Spittin' Saloon!" Before anypony could get a good look at anything else, Braeburn pushed the gang somewhere else. "And here, is the greatest sight in all of APPLEOOSA! This is Appleoosa Acres. Our first harvest of the month should be any day now." Braeburn explained.
"BRAEBURN!" I screamed, a tick mark formed around my forehead in frustration.
"Uh, yeah cous'?" Braeburn FINALLY stopped talking.
I angrily started to explain, "We have a HUGE problem! A villain from their world has been making robots, and he is sending them after us! Have you seen one?" I asked. (*9)
"Wow. So these guys are from another world? That must be something strange,"
"No. Not really. Now back to our original question, have you seen any robots or anything big and scary?" Sonic asked impatiently.
"Oh yeah. I saw some fat zeti thing climbing up Bloomberg earlier today for somethin'... I let it do it's business, and left it alone. Strange fella."
"The Deadly Six! They found us!" Rainbow Dash cried, earning a gasp from everyone except for Sonic and Pinkie Pie.
Sonic gave Braeburn a determined look. "Did you see where it went next?"
"Yes. It's right over there. Surprised that you missed it."

3rd Person P.O.V:
Sonic and the ponies all turned their heads to the right. There, at the entrance of the town, was a really, really, really, really fat zeti, expected to have an equal sized appetite. In it's hands was a handful of Earth Ponies and a couple of Pegasi. Zomom raised them over his enormous mouth and was just about to drop them, when he saw Sonic in the corner of his eye.
"Hey look! It's Sonic!" It said before jumping up. He threw away the ponies, and conveniently, they all landed in the spittoon next to each other in the chairs of the counter of the Salty Saloon. The yellow beast pulled down a robotic, green and purple cubed face. Then he rode the face over to Sonic and the rest of the ponies. "Wow. You're barely even a snack!" He shouted, spitting saliva all over Sonic and his sports tape. That's gross!
"Let me tell you something big yellow zeti who was sent by Eggman to kill me... or eat me! You may be big, but I'm bigger! Except for the fact that you're taller than me, and heavier than me! Just like the saying goes, the bigger they are, the harder they fall! So that makes you being bigger than me a disadvantage for you! So you might be big, but you ain't bad. Cause the hedgehog's gonna defeat you in a landslide!"(*10) Sonic screamed his loudest while shaking himself dry, scaring even Zomom himself.
Unnecessary Flashback...
"Hey Shadow! How you doin' good buddy?" Sonic asked as he entered G.U.N Headquarters, waving his hand towards Shadow.
Shadow turned around, with his back facing Sonic now. "We're not buddies,"
Sonic sweat dropped. "Right. So anyways, check out my new look!"
Shadow turned around, now facing Sonic, and turned back to his initial position. "Sonic. You look like an idiot. More of an idiot I should add."
"Come on. Lighten up. Everyone else liked it, and is got some new looks too. Tails Knuckles, Amy."
Shadow began to walk away. "I don't care. Look, I've got a bit of a cold, so you might want to stay bah-ah-ah..."
Sonic sped in front of him, not paying Shadow any attention. He jokingly began to mess with Shadow, boasting about how good he looked compared to Shadow.
"Achoo!" Shadow sneezed.
Just as Sonic stopped, he quickly noticed the incoming snot monster. He tried to run away screaming "NOOOOOOO!", but it was too late. He was already hit! "Aaaaaahhh!" Sonic shouted as he fell onto the floor.
"What are you crying about?" Shadow asked, wiping his nose.
"I've caught... the emo," Sonic whimpered.
"The what?"
"THE EMO! AAAAAAAHHHH! Get hot water! Get some disinfectant! Get some iodine! (*11) Call an ambulance! Call Vanilla!" Sonic screamed as he ran out of G.U.N Headquarters.
"Weird kid."
Three hours later, Sonic learned that "The Emo" was not a real disease, and that you certainly CAN put anything on the internet that isn't true. Of course, this was after a couple tubs of baths worth of wam water, ten bottles of disinfectant, and a bunch of Lysol had been wasted. And ever since then, Sonic has been traumatized by spit. Shadow was right. Sonic is weird.

(Music Insert: [Sonic Lost World x MLP FiM] The Mane Six vs. The Deadly Six by KingSpartaX37)
The zeti wasted no time, and quickly started up the machine again, and attempted to step on Sonic, patting his enormous belly. Sonic rolled out of the way, and ran around to the back of the robot. There was a big, blue button orb lodged in the robot's backside. Sonic quickly homing attacked the robot. Sonic then ran around the robot. "Watching you run around is making me hungry." the zeti yawned. Sonic's face grew a determined look. At this point, all of Appleoosa's population came to watch Sonic fight off the beast. He charged up a spin dash, and rolled around the robotic face. The yellow zeti released a whole bunch of explosives from the robot's mouth. Sonic used his quick step to dodge them. The zeti started to run. Sonic gave chase to the zeti, and homing attacked the button once more. The button turned red, and the robot farted out fireballs! Sonic boosted away from the fire, but they were locked onto him! Sonic had an idea. He slowed down just enough that the balls were directly behind him. Sonic homing attacked the button again, and jumped away before the fireballs could turn. The fireballs brought fire to the machine, and it melted away, with Zomom just barely escaping. Then Zomom came from the sky, and tried to sit on Sonic. Sonic cartwheeled away just in time. The zeti left a huge hole in the ground, and it was stuck. Sonic took this disadvantage for the yeti into an advantage for himself. Sonic homing attacked the monstrosity a dozen times. Then, the zeti sank into the ground screaming, "Your lucky it's dinnertime!" Sonic watched the face explode into a capsule. Sonic jumped onto the capsule, and released all of the chickens, squirrels, flickies, and bunnies. Sonic did a new move where he jumped up, rolled around, flipped back up, moonwalked, twisted, and kick flipped into his signature pose with one finger up, and his leg back.(*12) Then, he jumped off.
As Sonic landed, he could hear cheers and claps coming from the audience. "Hey. the bigger they are, the harder they fall. Am I right?" Sonic asked the townsponies as he turned around and witnessed Appleoosans dancing around in the town. They seemed happy. Their sheriff, Sheriff Silverstar walked up to the hedgehog. "Thank youuu..."
"Sonic. Sonic the Hedgehog."
"Thank you Sonic for saving our little town. Although, I probably could've done it myself."
Sonic smiled. "Right..."
Then he walked up to the rest of his crew. "What was that all about?" Twilight asked.
"Eggman has released six deadly creatures. Now, they want my head in a trophy case. As usual." Sonic explained, showing six fingers.
"No. I meant with the screaming. Are you crazy or something?"
"We have got to put a stop to this." Fluttershy responded, interrupting Twilight.
"You're right Shy. We can't let them do anymore damage." Twilight figured, dropping the whole Sonic's crazy subject.
Cubot's P.O.V:
Meanwhile, Dr. Egghead stared at his television screen. Sometimes I forget his name... "Power levels green, Orbot?"
The small lackey turned around from typing at the computer. "Power levels: stable. Extractor activated." Orbot broadcasted as he turned the lever for the Extractor. The machine turned on, and spun, beginning to suck some of the life out of Mobius.
"Good, good."
I floated over to the sample fluid. I removed the container, and the liquid poured all over me. It was amazing! It felt like a new battery and a fresh oil change! "Oh yeah. That's the stuff. Feed me baby! Glug, glug, glug. I'm feeling stronger by the second!" I shouted as I flexed my amazing robot arms.
The screen on the computer started to blink red. "Levels fluctuating. Reaction unstable. Better shut it down quick boss. Or else, it'll lock into overload." Orbot suggested.
"Grr. Shut it down!" Kintobor ordered.
Orbot stopped the machine, and I didn't feel any more of that amazing liquid anymore. "Aww. Why'd you stop boss? I felt great!" I whined.
"The machine is unstable. We just want to borrow some of the planet's energy, not completely destroy it." Dr. Wily explained.
"Speak for yourself." Zavok said in the background.
Any of those names correct?
Sonic the Hedgehog's P.O.V:
Tails, the Elements of Harmony, and I walked up to Zomom. (Braeburn had stayed in Appleoosa.) We had found him pretty quickly. Rainbow Dash sighed. Zomom was eating a sandwich her size plus my own and Scootaloo's. "One word of advice: Diet and exercise!" Rainbow Dash commented, trotting in place.
"Hey! That's three words!" Zomom shouted, and smacked Rainbow Dash in the head with his sandwich. I was enraged to see one of my friends get hurt, by a hand, or a sandwich in this case, even if it was Rainbow Dash. "I see you like to chew. Maybe you should chew ON MY FOOT!"(*12) I yelled. I jumped up, and dived into the zeti, but I too was smacked away by the sandwich. I landed on top of Rainbow right in front of everybody else.
"I think I'll have you for desert!" Zomom said in between bites of his sandwich to the ponies, spitting turkey meat and lettuce at the group.
"Don't talk with your mouth full! It is quite degrading." Rarity ordered, wiping a chunk of lettuce off of Sweetie Belle's cheek.
"Yeah, right!" Zomom mumbled, eating his sandwich and moving around. As he moved, his sandwich moved too, whizzing past me. I acrobatically bent about, avoiding the sandwich.
"Hey! I forgot the mustard!" Again, Zomom swung his sandwich, missing me as I dodged it in the nick of time. "Be right back!" Zomom yelled as he ran away for his forgotten mustard.
"Where do you think you're going?" Rainbow Dash yelled, as she flew after him, causing me to run after her.
3rd Person P.O.V:
(Music Insert: Sonic Unleashed: Shamar: Arid Sands Day music)
Sonic and the others gave chase to the zeti, but were followed by one of Eggman's robotic tornados. The tornado tore through everything ranging from hedgehogs to unicorns. Sonic and the rest of the gang sped up, with the pones using a super speed spell invented by the one and only Princess Twilight Sparkle, avoiding all of the robots and level hazards that it threw at them.
"Whoa! That tornado's carrying a motobug!"(*13) Sonic yelled as he ducked out of the way of a speeding motobug.
It was almost like the tornado had it'd own gravitational pull. As long as the group kept their speed max, they weren't pulled in. Unfortunately, a lot of robots and plants were pulled in.
Fluttershy looked up. She saw a capsule. "Sonic! A capsule!" Sonic looked up too. He jumped over to Fluttershy, and the mare carried the light hedgehog over to the capsule. Sonic bounced off of the yellow button, releasing all of the animals. Then, he jumped down, just before the twister could catch him. He spin dashed over to the rest of his friends.
Fluttershy's P.O.V:
(Music Continue: Sonic Unleashed: Shamar Arid Sands Day music)
As we ran, we reached a wall. Sonic and Pinkie Pie scaled up the wall with their physics defying skill set, while Twilight and Rarity teleported, I carried Scootaloo as I also ran up the wall, and Applejack, Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle helped each other up. When we reached the other side, there was nowhere else to go. We were stuck in between a rock and a hard place. Sonic tried to spin dash through the rock, but it was too large. Instead he bounced back.
"Darn. There's nowhere else to go. If only we could burrow underground like last time in the park, this would be so much easier." Sonic pointed out, rubbing his head in pain.
I stopped dead in my tracks. I did have something that would help us burrow underground. But, I was afraid of Sonic's reaction. I had a feeling that Sonic would get mad. After all he did so much work to free them. I carefully stepped away slowly. 'Maybe if I don't make a sound, they won't notice' I thought to herself.
"Hey Flutters. Where ya goin'?" Apple Bloom asked, scaring me, expectedly.
'Oh dear. I forgot that Apple Bloom knows!' I thought to myself.
Another Unnecessary Flashback...
Apple Bloom walked down a hill near Fluttershy's house. She was on her way to Zecora's for a beautifully tasteful spice called cinammon (the local market had run out), so that Applejack and herself would be able to make apple pie. Of couse, since Zecora lived in the "dangerous" Everfree Forest, she needed somepony older to escort her. Fluttersy seemed to be the only one who wasn't busy enought to not take her.
As Apple Bloom stopped near Fluttershy's front door, she heard a few crashes and bangs. "Stop little guy! You need to eat your veggies in order to become big and strong, just like your mommy would want!" Fluttershy's voice rang through the wooden door at a volume just above a mumble.
"What the?" Apple Bloom asked herself. Fluttershy was "screaming" at an animal! What'd he do? Try to find his cutie mark in trouble making?
Just before Apple Bloom could open the door to let Fluttershy know that she had arrived, the door swung open, crushing apple Bloom, and out came a red light. It flew forwards at amazing speeds, and Fluttershy came running after. "Please stop!"
The "animal" did stop, and Apple Bloom, as soon as she got the door from off of her, was able to see what the animal was. And, it was no animal that she had ever seen before. 'That thing HAD to have come out of the Everfree Forest. And that doesn't look anything like a bunny.'
"Hey! Fluttershy! Need some help?" Apple Bloom called.
"No, I've got it Apple Bloom," Fluttershy reassured the filly as she grabbed the animal into a hug, comforting him. "APPLE BLOOM?" Fluttershy yelped in surprise.
"Howdy."
"What are you doing here?"
"I came here for you to take me to Zecora's"
"Oh... You can't say anything about this!"
Apple Bloom was confused. "Say anything about what?"
"The wisp." Fluttershy whispered.
"The wha?"
"I'll explain before we go, okay?"
"Okay."
Sonic sped over to the two of us. "What's up A.B.?"
"Fluttershy, just tell 'em already. I already know. PINKIE already knows. Don't think that we won't tell 'im."
ANOTHER Unnecessary Flashback
One day aftyer Apple Bloom had learned about the wisps that Fluttershy was babysitting, she had ran into Pinkie. "HI APPLE BLOOM!" Pinkie loudly greeted her filly friend.
"Oh, howdy Pinkie. What'cha got there? And why are you so dirty?"
Pinkie raised up her weirdly shaped, pink snd purple polka dotted bedsheet covered package above her head, and wiggled it as she spoke. "This... is my... GREATEST INVENTION EVER!"
That made sense. Pinkie was covered from head to toe in oil stains and grime, and on her forehead were inventors goggles. "Uh, mind telling me what it is?" Apple Bloom asked.
Pinkie smiled evily before tearing down the bedsheet, revealling a... thing."It's my wisp capsule generator!" Ooooh. I guess if you've played Sonic Colors and actually know what a capsule looks like, then sniffed a Tropical Fantasy soda after shaking it while it is half empty, then you could see a wisp capsule. Along with being able to see living cotton candy dancing in front of you.
"You know about the wisps that Fluttershy is babysitting?"
"No, but now my invention actually has a purpose and wasn't a waste of twenty seven hours of nonstop work! Thanks Apple Bloom!"
"Wha-What?"
"Tell him what?" Pinkie asked, popping up from behind Sonic.
"Um... I have a few wisps. Every now and then, the mother comes to Equestria and leaves some wisps in my care for a little while. And today, I brought this girl, because she was the best behaved. A friend of mine is watching them back home."Fluttershy explained.
"Cool! Have you got a yellow one?" Well, that wasn't the reaction I was expecting.
"Of course. Okay little guy, come on out. It's just a friend of mine. Sonic." I cooed at my mane, earning a few stares from Sonic.
A yellow cone wisp popped out of my own mane. It looked at Sonic, and smiled. It quickly flew into Sonic, coating him in a light similar to the color of my coat.
"Where'd it go?" Sweetie Belle asked me.
"You'll see." I whispered.
"DRILL!" Sonic shouted. Then, he turned into a drill, jumped up, and dug through the ground.
"WHOA! That's so cool!" Scootaloo shouted.
(Music Insert: Sonic Colors: Yellow Drill music)
Sonic dug through the sand below. There were many enemies. Sonic cut through all of the robots that were down there. Then, Sonic popped out of the dirt. He flew up, and came back down. He dug through once again. He left a trail below leaving marks of where he had been. He jumped from out of the sand again, and detransformed.
(End music)
"Okay. Fluttershy, we're gonna need a lot of yellow aliens."
I politely called Pinkie Pie over. "Okay Pinkie, you know what to do."
Pinkie Pie raised a hoof to her mouth, grabbed a megaphone from her mane, and whistled 10 seconds of an unfamiliar, and NOT the song I had taught her ( My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic theme song). Strange enough, that song worked. A huge number of wisp flew overhead. There were a total of 8 different wisp types. I only needed the yelloow ones. That's the song for all of them, Pinkie.
Sonic and Tails were left there with their eyes bulging and jaw dropped. "How many wisps stay with you?" Tails asked.
"Oh, I don't know, like fifteen."
Sonic fixed his astonished face, turning it into a pleased one. He gave me a thumbs up as the yellow wisps all traveled into all of the characters. "Alright everypony, we need to find that zeti. I already took a look everywhere, so stay close to me. Better yet, release the power of the wisps at the same time. On three! One! Two! Three!"
"DRILL!"
3rd Person P.O.V:
(Music Insert: Sonic Lost World - Yellow Drill Music)
The crew all transformed into a drill. They orbited around each other, and spun through the ground at supersonic speeds in a multicolored rainbow of different colors. They drilled out into the open. They popped out, and popped back in another wall of dirt. They drilled all the way through the dirt, until they got outside again. This time, the team exited out of the drill as they bounced off of a hard surface.
(End music)
"That... was... AWESOME!" Scootaloo shouted as the wisps flew away.
"Compliment my genius later, cause here's Tall, Skinny, and Deadly!" Sonic shouted as he grabbed the Cutie Mark Crusaders in his arms and blasted off. "HEY! Get back here Sonic!" Rainbow shouted after him.
"Those two are really something, aren't they?" Tails asked, as he started to spin his namesakes for a burst of speed.
Pinkie Pie bounced up next to him. "Yeah. They really go against IGN's reviews for Sonic Lost World. I mean, he's so fast! IGN was all like, "Sonic's so slow in this game. And how could they say that our planet is bland and copying Mario? Do you see as many My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and Super Mario Bros. stories? NO! But the author really got everything right here now that he has the game." (Me: Shut up Pinkie!)
"Uh, what the hay are you talkin' about?" Applejack asked, galloping up to the two.
"I'm talking about IGNorants silly filly! They hate Sonic Lost World. But it's so confusing. They keep going back and forth. During the summer..." Pinkie Pie replied, smiling from ear to ear.
"Whatever. Just don't be weirder and making more forced jokes than already." Applejack interrupted.
"Okie dokie lokie!"
3rd Person P.O.V:
(Music Insert: Sonic Unleashed: Shamar: Arid Sands Day music)
Sonic and the Cutie Mark Crusaders blasted past everypony else. It was easy to race at nearly full speed carrying the fillies. Carrying Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash up two walls and around the corner actually made Sonic's noodle arms tired. Carrying three fillies down a long and enduring sand road, piece o' cake. Sonic raced away from the tornado, and the rest of his friends. Sonic took a look behind him. He noticed a rainbow colored wake. Next to her, he saw a yellow colored one. And he heard a feminine yet nerdy voice. "Sonic! Slow down! You know I can't run as fast as you!" That could only mean one thing. Tails was yelling and both he and Rainbow Dash had managed to keep up. Sonic slowed down, and watched in horror, the terrifying tornado pop up behind them.
"Uh oh. That's not good," Sonic sighed. He slowed down to a jog, and let Rainbow and Tails catch up. Sonic yelled over to Tails. "That stupid desert tornado's back!" Sonic yelled. Rainbow Dash sped up past the hedgehog carrying the mares in her hooves and on her back.
"Take a look at this. I'm carrying everypony. Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Rarity. Way better than you, huh Hedgehog?" Rainbow Dash gloated.
"I guess. But, whatever. I can still break the sound barrier. But I won't. Don't wanna accidentally take the kids heads off or something with all of that speed. That would be a terrible way to go out, now wouldn't it?" Sonic asked, smirking a little.
Sonic noticed how the tornado was gaining on them. "You know what? To heck with it!" Sonic exclaimed as he tossed Scootaloo to Tails, and held Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle in one arm. Then, he grabbed Rainbow Dash's hoof, and pulled them going faster than mere seconds ago, passing the speed of sound with a sonic boom. Tails managed to grab a ride, pulling onto Rainbow Dash's tail, who was excitedly screaming at the speed.
"WARP SPEED!" Tails shouted as Sonic ran through a vertical corkscrew again, going round and round, losing some speed nearing the top, but made up for it when an incline went downhill As he went down, and broke the sound barrier again. The tornado was speeding up again. Sonic, now holding everyone, ran at full speed. He cut down a corner, and blasted off, messing up everything from hair to nature. As another Sonic Boom erupted, Sonic entered a canyon. The sonic boom was so loud that it sort of caused an avalanche from the loose boulders.
"Hey! Sonic? You hear that rumbling?" Sweetie Belle asked. She looked up and saw small dots in the sky come down upon her.
"Yeah? So? What's a few pebbles gonna do to us?" Sonic asked rhetorically, before speeding up.
But, these "pebbles" were really boulders! The first boulder rolled down the mountainside, nearly crushing Twilight's shield. Luckily, Twilight's bubble was being rolled just fast enough that they made it out with barely any time to spare. Now rocks were falling in front of the gang. Sonic accelerated again, throwing up everyone that he was carrying over the falling rock. He slid underneath, and rolled out (Think about that in SLOW... MOTION!). Then, he rolled himself upright without losing any momentum, and caught everyone that he threw in the air with both of his arms and a few of his spines. "Skills!" He shouted. Since the rock had fallen in Twilight's way, she teleported in front of it, losing a bit of momentum. But, that didn't matter. More rocks were falling. and the tornado was catching them! As it caught them, it threw them back at Sonic! Sonic boosted with a sonic boom, running underneath the rocks and quick stepping in order to avoid rocks.
"AWESOME!" Scootaloo yelled over the sounds of falling rocks, the pitter patter of feet, and the sonic boom. Sonic smiled. He was FINALLY able to impress Scootaloo. Wait, why is he trying to impress a filly? Then, his smile turned into a gasp. There was an ENORMOUS rock flying from out of the tornado. It was too close to the ground for Sonic to run underneath and too wide to side step out of the way. Tails also took notice of this. He whispered something into Sonic's ear. Sonic nodded in agreement. Sonic once again accelerated, but this time he jumped into the air. He started to spin in the air as if he was performing a homing attack, pulling in everyone at the same time. As Sonic rolled, he was surrounded by a rainbow of colors, all from each of the passengers. Hopefully, Tails' plan would work. If it didn't, everyone would be in serious pain. Everyone rolled together, and moved forward fast. They collided with the rock, and Apple Bloom began to scream in agony or fright. It's hard to tell with that accent. Sonic pushed forward, slicing through the boulder, little by little. Then, they broke free, with a perfect slice through the boulder. Sonic stopped spinning, bringing everyone back to their original positions, holding onto Sonic's hands or quills.
Tails exhaled a sigh of relief. He didn't really think his plan would work. "Ha! Told you that pebbles would never stop the Sonic Express!" Sonic yelled back at Sweetie Belle. She laughed dizzily.
Sonic bounced off of a spring. He could finally see the zeti in eyesight. Sonic sped up to his maximum speed again over a bridge. The robotic tornado was tearing it up! He threw off his extra weight over the bridge, and spin dashed over to the bridge, leaving the tornado in the dust. As he reached the end of the bridge, he front flipped over to a halt, stopping himself right in front Zomom.
3rd Person P.O.V:
(Music Insert: Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog - Doctor Robotnik's theme)
The fat yellow zeti ate a chicken drumstick or leg, bones and everything. "Scootaloo no! Your mom's leg was just eaten by a zeti!(*14)" Apple Bloom snickered under her breath.
"I heard that! I'm no chicken!" Scootaloo denied.
"Oh, dude! You ate the bones! Haven't you seen the commercials?" Sonic laughed.(*15)
"Doesn't matter, cause the main course is here!" Zomom cheered, jumping up and down, shaking the ground. The ground shook, causing the heroes to fall back. Zomom continued to bounce, until he bounced next to Sonic at a failed attempt to squash him. As everyone fell over, Zomom picked up Rainbow Dash and squeezed her like there's no tomorrow. "Skittles!" The idiotic zeti exhaled, squeezing the Pegasus even tighter. (*16)
"What the hay? I'm no Skittle! I hate that name! Let me go! What the hay is a Skittle?" Rainbow pleaded (slightly lying), grasping for air. Her chest was nearly on the verge of cracking. Ouch...
"This is just too funny Skittles..." Sonic smiled as he took out his cell phone from his endless storage space behind him. He opened up his camera app.
"Sonic, what are you doing? Oh hi Rainbow." Twilight asked the hedgehog from his strange behavior, unfamiliar with his cell phone.
"Does ANYPONY SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE?!"
"I do. This is a Kodak moment Skittles!" Sonic giggled as he snapped the picture. "This is SOOOOO going on Facebook and Instagram later. I'm gonna reach 3,000,000 likes from this! At least!"
Sonic snapped another picture with the flash on, hoping to get a better picture of Rainbow from underneath Zomom's shadow as she was licked over and over. CLICK. The picture was sort of a success. It was a tad bit blurry on Rainbow Dash, since she WAS squirming around. Oh well, Sonic could always have Tails edit that later. He quickly sent the picture via email to almost everyone that he knew. In an instant his phone's light shone almost as bright as the sun from all of the (couple billion) replies.
(Music Insert: [Sonic Lost World x MLP FiM] The Mane Six vs. The Deadly Six by KingSpartaX37)
The light blinded the zeti, and he stumbled backwards, dropping the soaking wet pony. He stumbled backwards onto some weak ground, and it cracked. His weight was going to break it!
A hole appeared in front of the cast, and Zomom dug down. Sonic called forth another yellow wisp from Fluttershy's mane, and dug down too. Rainbow Dash and Tails flew off after the sound of the rumbling of the hedgehog, carrying Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle. Twilight ran off after the fliers, before flying off herself in an awkward pattern. Applejack galloped off afterwards, followed by a levitating Rarity and a flying Fluttershy. "I swear, as soon as I figure out what that hedgehog did, I'm gonna kick his flank into next month!" Rainbow Dash grumbled under her breath.
Sonic burrowed through floating ground to get to the zeti, who was surprisingly faster than him. 'Why are the fat ones always faster?'(*17) Sonic asked himself as he detransformed out of his drill transformation. The wisp exited out of Sonic with a wave, and flew back to Fluttershy's cottage.
Sonic regained his posture as he landed. A few seconds later, the rest of the gang landed next to him. Zomom spun around quickly, creating a whirlwind of remnants of his robot. He set them down, and placed up walls keeping Sonic and his friends trapped. Zomom then started up a small tornado at lightning speeds. Sonic had barely any time to react, and scooted up the wall. Zomom stopped spinning, believing that he had killed Sonic. Sonic jumped down, and stomped onto the zeti's head. As soon as the zeti recovered, he spun even faster this time, creating an even bigger tornado. Sonic spin dashed up the wall, and flipped over to the next one. Zomom once again stopped, and looked underneath his own foot, thinking that he had stepped on Sonic. Sonic bounced down using his bounce attack and bounced off of the zeti's head. Sonic quickly homing attacked the beast before it could spin again, ending the battle.
The ponies clapped for Sonic as the zeti turned around, and jumped away complaining "Ugh. You're the worst meal ever! Well next to the rotten Skittle over there..."
"HEY!" Rainbow Dash shouted towards Zomom. "This Skittle is a rockin' sockin' PEGASUS! Get it right!"
3rd Person P.O.V:
"I hone your abilities. I equip you with the most powerful mechs I can create. I even give you a giant sandwich! And, you still disappoint me." Dr. Eggman complained in his Egg Mobile. In front of the Deadly Six, were Buzzbombers, Motobugs, and Snail Blasters armed and ready for an attack on trespassers. Specifically a supersonic blue hedgehog that would most definitely be passing by.
Sonic and the rest of the gang rush behind a giant sand hill. They watched Eggman chew out the Deadly Six. Sonic and Tails spot a conch in Eggman's hand as he raised it up, and blew into it, and the Deadly Six groan in pain. " I'm a compassionate man..." The mad doctor started.
"That shell looks like trouble." Sonic inferred.
"Hold on a minute..." Tails said as he looked at his own handheld. Sonic on the other hand, flipped over the hill. "Sonic! I-I think that thing in Eggman's hand is..." Tails shouted after Sonic, before Sonic punted the conch away from Baldy Nosehair's grasp.
"GONE!" Sonic ended Tails' sentence. Sonic then flipped off of Eggman's Egg Mobile, and landed next to the mad scientist.
"Aww. Eggman's shell is gone." Sonic taunted Dr. Eggman.
Eggman shook his fist vigorously in the air, before speaking to Sonic. "That was a mistake."
"Whatever! Since when is it a mistake to take your toys away?"
"When it's the only thing keeping six angry zeti from controlling my mechs; you moronic hedgehog!" Eggman shouted before looking at said angry zeti. The zeti lightly chuckled, and raised a hand to the air. The mechs all showed off their weapons, and aimed at Eggman and Sonic. Then, the zeti brought their hands down, and pointed at the two enemies.
The mechs each shot lasers everywhere in every direction. As the conflict occurred, Zavok punched his palm and directed his group to attack as well. "Strike brothers! (Stop the presses! What about the green female Zeti, Zeena? Oops your bad SEGA.) Make this fool pay for our abuse and enslavement!"
Sonic flipped and cartwheeled out of the way. Sonic then ran up a nearby wall, and homing attacked robots without getting attacked himself. Sonic bounced from robot to robot, gaining altitude as he bounced. Sonic then slid underneath a few shots from a buzzbomber, and spin dashed through a couple of other robots that were and ground level. Then Sonic front flipped over towards the buzzbombers, and homing attacked a couple of those robots.
As he continued to attack, Eggman's Egg Mobile was attacked by Zazz, who spun it around, and aimed it at the ground. Zomom charged up, and jumped onto the machine, sending it crashing to the ground. Eggman jumped out with Orbot and Cubot. Orbot and Cubot scattered, and Cubot's head was shot straight off of his body! "Arr. Shiver me timbers." Cubot screeched as his head was caught by Orbot. Unfortunately, his voice chip was messed up for now the umpteenth time.
As Eggman fell to the ground, a bit of his signature mustache was singed. Eggman quickly got up and ran for his life.
Meanwhile, three lasers from buzzbombers and other laser shooting robots were mistakenly aimed right at the sand hill after missing the super speedy hedgehog. The lasers hit the sand, and sent the group back flying. Tails fell to the floor, as the ponies were coated with a shield. "Oh no! We forgot about Tails!" Princess Twilight shrieked.
Sonic looked behind him once he heard the new princess. He rushed back, and cradled Tails in his arms. Sonic then rushed away from the scene, with Eggman and the ponies trailing behind with Eggman shouting, "Orbot, Cubot! We are leaving!"
"I'd hate to run away from a fight Tails, but I don't wanna see you get fried," Sonic tried to comfort Tails.
"Not getting fried would be nice." Tails responded, still dizzy.
"Oh man. I should have listened to you Tails!" Sonic whined, face palming himself.
"Oh, you think?" Tails asked sarcastically.
3rd Person P.O.V:
(Music Insert: Sonic Riders: Sand Ruins)
Sonic, the Elements of Harmony, and the Cutie Mark Crusaders all rushed to the Tornado. Tails was now in the Alicorn's care, as Sonic blasted through the desert to get back to the Tornado. "Fluttershy? Is Tails gonna be okay?" Sweetie Belle asked sadly.
"Yes. He only passed out from shock. Almost like a faint. Fortunately, he isn't hurt or anything like that from the blast." Fluttershy explained.
"That's good. I don't know what Sonic would've done if Tails was hurt."
"Twilight. Shouldn't we be going faster? The guy can run faster than sound for Celestia's sake!" Rainbow Dash asked impatiently.
"Too much stress to go faster than the speed of sound. Maybe I can teleport us to Sonic's location. Fluttershy, make sure you hold onto Tails tightly." the Princess asked politely. The princess handed the kitsune to Fluttershy, who know held the fox in her forehooves. Twilight started up a teleportation spell, enabling them to reach Sonic in a matter of miliseconds if performed properly.
Twilight teleported the groups from their original location, to Sonic's. Then, she coated the group except for Sonic and Rainbow Dash in her super speed spell.
Sonic was running towards the Tornado with his arms flung behind him, feet in a figure eight motion, and eyes dead set on where he was going. He was only concerned about Tails. 'Oh man! Those zeti are gonna pay! Eggman's gonna pay even more!' Sonic pondered how badly he should treat the Deadly Six and Eggman. Then, a flash of lavender glowed right next to Sonic.
"Sonic! Slow down! This is important!" Rarity called.
Sonic angrilly slowed down a little. Just enough that you could barely see the anthropomorphic hedgehog's feet in a red blur. "We need to head back to Ponyville! I don't think that it's a good idea to bring the fillies. We should leave them with Ms. Cheerilee. Based on how the Deadly Six act, I don't want anypony hurt-" Twilight suggested.
"What? No way! I want to stay with you guys! This is fun! Rainbow Dash? Can't you do something?" Scootaloo pleaded, interrupting Twilight.
Rainbow Dash looked at Scootaloo. There was something that you don't really see on Rainbow Dash's face. Worry. "Sorry kiddo. I can't believe I'm about to say this, but I think Twilight's right about this. It would devastate me to see you or any of the rest of the Cutie Mark Crusaders getting hurt. I mean, you can't even fly! You were there when we nearly got eaten. You were there when Sonic was fighting that zeti. You were there when we nearly got crushed by the rocks. You were there when we nearly got skewered. You can't protect yourself, and that's all I care about. You mean the world to me... and it's not like you have any parents to look after you anymore. I'm sorry. We've been through too much to come this far and almost lose somepony. I'm sorry." Rainbow sighed, tearing up. Fluttershy gasped. You would almost never hear Dash say something so serious and emotional. Anything that came out of her mouth was usually sarcastic.
Scootaloo sighed deeply, fighting to hold back her tears. "Fine! If you won't take me with you because I can't fly yet, then... I'll have my own adventure! Flight or not!" She screamed.
Sonic took a look behind him. He heard Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash. He also saw Scootaloo turn and run away. He quickly changed directions, but due to Twilight's speed spell adding her own speed to his own, she was too fast. "Scootaloo! NOOOOO!" Sonic screeched loudly.
"That wasn't what I meant..."
3rd Person P.O.V:
(Music Continue: Sonic Riders: Sand Ruins)
Tails began to wake up. He opened his eyes slowly as he awoke in Fluttershy's hooves as she flew. "Ugh. My head. What bus hit me?"
No one answered. It was completely silent as everyone was in a state of depression. Scootaloo had run away, and now, everything felt different. Sonic and Rainbow Dash weren't speeding ahead. In fact no one was really speeding.
Sonic turned his head again towards Tails. "I can see the Tornado. Tails, can you still fly the plane?"
"Yeah. I'll manage. Where we headed?"
"Ponyville. We decided to leave the rest of the Cutie Mark Crusaders with Granny Smith."
Tails simply nodded as he jumped out of Fluttershy's hooves, and flew ahead. He landed in the plane, and started the ignition. The rest of the gang (except Scootaloo) hopped either into or onto the plane. Tails rolled the plane away, and took off for the skies.
Meanwhile, Scootaloo cried her eyes empty. "Some Element of Loyalty! I can't fly? So what! You're the worst sister ever Rainbow Dash!"
Reference 0: The title is also a reference to an Adventure Time videogame. Guess which one!
Reference 1: In the story "Sonic Generations: Friendship is Timeless" by GreenSonic21 on both Fanfiction and Fimfiction, The Mane 6 actually got to go with Sonic in time. They just didn't meet Classic Sonic or Classic Tails.
Reference 2: It is, if you didn't know already.
Reference 3: Didn't Pinkie say that when she spoiled a certain movie twice?
Reference 4: Gabby Douglass and Sonic were both in the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Reference 5: It is. Kinda sorta.
Reference 6: Rainbow Dash read the book that she was featured in from Daring Don't.
Reference 7: You know, because lightning attacks affect rock types... From Pokémon?
Reference 8: That line has been used so many times, that there's a fan made SONG about it!
Reference 9:A changed up line from Cars. (Mater: This 'ere is Radiator Springs. Cutest little town in Carburetor Canyon.)
Reference 10: Yeah, pretty much copy and pasted the whole conversation between Applejack and Braeburn from Over a Barrel. Not so much a reference...
Reference 11: A Sonic/Rath rage quit taken from when Rath fought a robot in Ben 10: Ultimate Alien mixed in with the quip that "The Boulder" threw at "The Big Bad Hippo" in the Blind Bandit episode in Avatar the Last Airbender.
Reference 12: The same thing as Lucy when Snoopy licked her. Plus, The Emo was ripped from Sonic Shorts.
Reference 13: The same victory dance that Kirby does in Kirby Triple Deluxe.
Reference 14: Doesn't that remind you of the intro of a certain movie with a certain Panda with a certain title like, "Dragon Warrior"?
Reference 15: Yay! A Crisis City reference. Woo hoo. Just reminded myself of Sonic 06. Whoopdee freakin' do!
Reference 16: Scootachicken joke. (Me: Teyani? Is that a real thing?)
Reference 16: Inspiration for this from a DeviantArt picture called Ponyysss by StarlettSkies about Zomom mistaking Rainbow Dash for a Skittle, and Sonic just standing there. That was funny.
Reference 17: A KFC boneless chicken commercial reference.
Reference 18: Dr. Eggman and other fat people are actually FASTER than Sonic. Just look at Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Knuckles, Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1, Sonic Unleashed, and Sonic Adventure 2 Battle.
Sorry, I kinda lost track of all of the references in this chapter, so blame someone else. If they don't all match up, then I'm like one or two off. Sorry. I still have a headache from this every time I try to type up Chapter 3, and I see this 12,000+ word hellhound in my files. Ugh. I need a nap...
Wait a second. Before you go. Let me add ONE more reference.
Nappa: Vegeta! What does the scouter say about this chapter's word count not counting this little reference thing that we're doing right now?
Vegeta: (Crushes scouter) It's OVER 9000!
Nappa: What? Over 9000? No way that can be right?
Me: Way, you sorry excuse for a saiyan on steroids... Way.
Nappa and Vegeta: What the FU- (Blows up)
Some parts were based off of Mirage Road from Sonic Rush like the robots in the temple, the slide, and the locked doors; Sand Oasis from Sonic and the Secret Rings with fire everywhere in the temple, Pyramid Cave from Sonic Adventure 2's design, and Shamar: Arid Sands Act 1 from Sonic Unleashed like the running around vertical corkscrews, and avoiding falling rocks. But, other than that it was basically the same as Desert Ruins. I still wonder why I didn't put in Daring Do yet.
Also, I took out Desert Ruins Zone 2 & 3 ON PURPOSE. (Aww...) I have a good reason. Put the pitchforks and torches down. At first, Zone 2 was going to be a race between Sonic, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash while carrying Scootaloo. I tried... Three times! It was NOT pretty. And, you remember that Avatar: The Last Airbender episode, "The Desert" where Sokka started losing his mind from drinking cactus juice? Well that was going to happen to Pinkie Pie and have Zone 3 be Pinkie's imagination of what was going on. That actually seems pretty smart. But that seems a little much for a K+ story with characters from a television series and separate videogame series made for 7 through 12 year olds. And plus, Pinkie Pie is in my top 5 favorite cartoon characters next to:
1. Ben Tennyson (10/11 years old and Omniverse Ben)
2. Sokka
3. SpongeBob Squarepants
4. Cosmo (from Fairly Oddparents; not Sonic X)
6. Mabel
I would never degrade her like that. We cool?
And if you imagine it, Sonic, Applejack, and Apple Bloom's new looks fits this place perfectly. Don't you agree? Once again, the lack of Daring Do scares me...
The themes of Desert Ruins/Appleoosa are: (surprise, surprise!) Sonic Rush: Ethno Circus and Sonic Unleashed: Arid Sands Day Version
Scootaloo deserves her own tidbit of a history lesson at this point, huh? Scootaloo is an orphaned Pegasus who has never been able to fly due to an unknown medical condition. Some time ago, she was taken in by Rainbow Dash one night after she finished creating a thunder storm. Being found in a soggy cardboard box, Scootaloo was slowly becoming sick, with a runny nose and bad cough. Since she feels too young (and irresponsible) to be a parent, Rainbow Dash takes on the roll as Scootaloo's "big sister", nuturing her. It's pretty saddening and heartwarming. It's unoriginal too. But it's the best I got. More shall be learned at a later time.
Next chapter contains Tropical Coast aka Winsome Falls/Rainbow Falls. Featuring everyone's two favorite background ponies and favorite couple: Vinyl Scratch and Octavia Melody. Stay tuned!
*Should Octavia and Vinyl be marefriends or just really close best friends? You decide! Because I sure can't!*
Fluttershy: "It's not your fault. Sure, you egged everypony to bring them. Sure, Scootaloo was nearly eaten. Sure, we were all nearly crushed by those falling boulders that you were the cause of with your Sonic Boom. Sure, Scootaloo ran away. But it's not your fault Sonic... Oh wait, let me try again."
Apple Bloom: "C'mon girls! Err... girl! We have to find Scootaloo and bring her back home!"
Vinyl Scratch: "1-2-3 Tavi dance with me! Though we're lost at sea, depressed is just no way to be."
Pinkie Pie: "BEACH PARTY!"
Amy Rose: "It's like something in the sky is draining the life out of the world..."
Sonic the Hedgehog: "I'm gonna want to take a long shower by the time we're done."
Doctor Eggman: "I hope the zeti eat you alive, you meddling hedgehog."
