"Come on, where the heck is he?" Sonic said as he was moving through the grass maze steering from every corner trying to find Discord.

"He's gotta be here somewhere, he has to know my past or what I am." Sonic said as his run slowed down into a steady pace.

"I need to know, it's my only way of knowing who i truly am." he said.

"Who you truly are, that's a laugh. I had no idea you were a comedian, Mr. Hedgehog." Discord said.

"Grngh! Where are you! Show yourself! I'm done playing this stupid hide 'n' seek game." he said demanding discord show himself.

"My dear boy, then it wouldn't be a game. I told you, you need to find me first." discord said as he laughed.

"Damn." Sonic cursed.

"Ah ah ah, foul mouths get bars of soap." he said.

"What?" before Sonic knew it he was drowned in soap bars. He dug out of the pile that smothered him and continued his run to find him.

"To be honest, i'm getting bored. Say, i have an idea." Discord began. Sonic kept turning corners trying to find the chaos being.

"Let's tell a story." He said.

"A story?" Sonic asked curiously

"Yes, it goes a little like this." Discord said clearing his throat as he puffed up a rocking chair and held a book in his hands as he begun reading.

"Once upon a time it all started with a grown up hedgehog by the name of Jules and his son Maurice they were such a great father and son they went on picnics together, he read him stories about the world. Oh how he loved it." Sonic was trying to ignore him.

"No, he's lying, my dad died when I was 6. I don't recall any of this, but then again I don't even know what's my past anymore." That's when Discord continued. "...And then they lived happily ever after." He then slammed the book shut and got up from his chair. "Well does that answer your question?" He jokingly said as

"No all it did was bore me half to death."He said as he faked a yawn as Discord just frowned. "Well excuse me hedgehog! I put hard work putting this book together." He says as he has the books in his hands.

Sonic then had enough of his tricks and just grabs hims. "Okay freakzoid, I've just had enough of your tricks, tell me what I am! I want ANSWERS!" He said as Discord then gives off the biggest grin he could muster.

"Oh you want the truth huh, well then fine I'll give you the truth." He then gets out of his grip and then put his animal finger on his head. "I'LL GIVE THE FULL TRUTH!"

As he did that Sonic felt a surge of memories go up to his head. "What is this? What are these images in my mind, I can't- I don't understand this " He then fell down the floor and held his head.

"I'll let you deal with those things, I have some chaos to do!" He said as let floated away from Sonic. "Ta-Ta!" He then disappeared from him.

"WHAT IS THIS?" He screamed in his head as he tried copying the pain he was dealing.

As the screaming happened Twilight heard this and knew exactly who it was.

"Sonic!" She said to herself. The others then turned to her as she spoke.

"Hey is everything okay Twilight?" Applejack asked. That's when Twilight turned in the direction the scream was coming from.

"Come on girls. This way." She said. The five looked at each other confused, but then took off in the direction Twilight was heading

"Stop it...It's too much...are these my memories. AUGH!" Sonic screamed as he grunted and growled. His dark cobalt blue disappearing slowly.

"PLEASE STOP IT!" he shouted as his pupils started to fade, but that's when he heard something that he knew was real.

"SONIC!" He then turned to see Twilight running towards him and that's when he started to calm down.

"T-T-Twilight." His color and pupils returned as Twilight approached him.

"What are you doing here Sonic, What happened?" She asked. Sonic looked away.

"Nothing Twilight…. Nothing at all." The others came up as Sonic got off his feet.

"Then why are you layin on the grass like that?" Rainbow Dash as the hedgehog as he tried to come up with an excuse.

"I….was taking a nap?" He said trying mask his lie, though Applejack answered.

"Hm, I think that's a load a baloney, that's for sure." She said turning away from him with the other girls replying with 'Yeah' agreeing with her that Sonic was obviously lying. Twilight on the other hand though was sick of hearing his lies and spoke up.

"Really? You know Sonic I have had about enough of your lies. You need to tell me, no us what is going on." She said as she pointed to the others. Sonic was still not making eye contact as he was on his feet. He then turned his back to her.

"It's none of your concern now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go look for Discord." He said. Twilight though was starting to get angry and teleported right in front of Sonic. "WHY? What is it about Discord that is so important?" She asked. Sonic just looked at her and kept his mouth quiet. That's when Twilight took the hint.

"Fine, if you're not gonna tell the truth, then you're staying here. Come on girls." Twilight said as she motioned at her friends to follow, but that's when Sonic wanted to argue.

"Hey who said you were the boss of me. Look Twi I need to-" Sonic was cut off when Twilight slammed her foot down and cause some magic sparks to fly spooking everyone. Fluttershy was holding her mouth with her hands, Sonic was just wide eyed as he looked at Twilight, while the others just looked like they just saw a ghost. Twilight then spoke in a loud tone.

"YOUR STAYING HERE WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!" She yelled. That's when Sonic smirked.

"Well I'm not and you can't stop me." Sonic said as he walked away. Twilight then used her magic to lift Sonic up and throw him back a bit. He recovered as he stood on two feet. He then looked at Twilight as she spoke.

"Stay down Sonic." Sonic however was stubborn as he got up. He then started to spindash and tried to blow past Twilight, but Twilight deflected him back. Sonic then growls as he runs back for a bit and then uses his boost ability to try and jump over her shield, but Twilight let the barrier go as she then used her magic and blow some strong wind knocking him back into a stand with a sculpture on it. Sonic grunted as he started to stand up.

"SONIC STAY DOWN!" Twilight yelled again readying for Sonic.

"I can't, I have to see Discord." He said. Twilight then yelled again with the same question.

"WHY? WHY DO YOU NEED TO SEE HIM?" She yelled. Sonic eventually broke.

"BECAUSE HE MAY KNOW WHO OR WHAT I AM AND HE KNOWS WHO MY FATHER WAS!" Sonic yelled back with tears of anger and sadness on his face.

"What?" Twilight said softening her anger.

"Discord, he knew my father... And he may have the answers to what I am. Look, I'm not sure what's real or not real anymore." He stood there as the tears started to fall from his face.

Growing up I thought I lived on a completely different world, I had friends, and we all went on adventures together, but…" He stopped as he took a minute to say what he wanted.

"But then, I find out it was all fake. I didn't let it get to me before, but now I keep seeing images of my friends glitching out everywhere and flashes of memories and I just don't know." He said as he punched the ground with a few more tears in his eyes.

"I just don't know…". The Mane Six then looked at each other and felt sorry for Sonic. That's when Sonic wiped away the tears and looked at them. "...Listen I'm sorry, but I have to go and you can't stop me. I need to know the truth and I won't give up til I find it." He said as he was walking past the Mane Five that's when Twilight got in front of him. Sonic was about to launch into a running stance when Twilight just hugged him. Sonic was caught by surprise by her actions as she hugged him in a tight embrace.

"I understand Sonic really, but after hearing this…. Just please. I don't want to see you get hurt or worse. Please just stay here out of Discords sight okay?" She asked. What she figured was that Discord was using Sonic's memories against him and she knew if she let him go after Discord it would be bad news.

Sonic wanted to argue, but could see Twilight was showing signs of being concern. Sonic then nodded. Twilight nodded back as she released him. She motioned to the others and they were all heading forward, but before they left Twilight turned to Sonic. "I promise we'll be careful. Just go back to Celestia and Luna. Once this is all over we'll help you figure this out. I Pinkie Promise." She said.

She then did the motions for the promise as Sonic smirked. He knew from Pinkie that no one ever breaks a Pinkie promise and gave a thumbs up. Twilight then left and Sonic stood there for a while and then he grunts and hears Discord's laughter coming from another way. He then looks in the direction where the mane six went and then at the path where Discords laughter could be heard. He looks at both paths for a bit and sighs

Sorry Twilight, but I need answers. I hope you can forgive me later. Sonic said as he runs down the path Discord's laughter was on. As he runs through the maze, he spies Discord right up above a part in the maze. Sonic growled as he makes it to a wide space in the maze where he knows he spotted Discord from there and tried to get to him. Discord noticed this and smirked. Sonic then had a thought

"Alright you child's nightmare, you're gonna give me the full story!" He thought as he looked around, but then his brain starts to hurt and he hears voices. It was his friends. First it was Tails, then Amy, then Knuckles, and one by one more voices popped up saying things that were familiar to Sonic. Sonic squeezed his head tight and screamed.

"AUGH! MAKE IT STOP!" He yelled. That's when the voices suddenly stop. Sonic then let go of his head and looked around breathing heavily. He then hears something coming his way. He gets in a fighting stance in case it was someone else and calls out.

"Who's there?" He asked. That's when the mystery person smirked as he walked in.

"Whoa now you need to relax kid. Is this anyway of treating your father?" He asked. Sonic just looked forward at the person in disbelief.

"Dad?!" Sonic saw his father walking towards him, and then putting his arm around his shoulder.

"What's the matter son, you don't recognize your old man?" He said to him

"What are you doing here, I thought you were dead?" Sonic said. His dad then stepped away from Sonic and walked towards a pond and looks at it.

"Dead? Oh no, that's what everyone thought." He said as Sonic sighed in relief.

"But I will say one thing." He said as he turned to Sonic. "What is it?" Sonic asked his father as he walked up to him.

"I never really loved you." He said without any remorse behind the words.

"W-What?"

"I never loved you son, that's why i got rid of you." He said stepping towards Sonic.

"Got rid of me?" He said confused by his father's words.

"You see, you were getting in the way of my duties. I grew tired of "daddy look at me" and "come play with me daddy". It made me only hate your existence even more." His father harshly said. Sonic was shocked and eyes wide and mouth agape.

"How I got rid of you, I put you in a time capsule to spend your days there. I also programmed your adventures, thoughts, feelings, and actions. You were basically living in a video game. You thought you were a real person, well, i'm here to tell you son…" He said drifting his sentence, Sonic fell to his knees with tears in his eyes.

"You will never be a whole person." His father said as his hand jabbed sonic's chest, sonic's iris's faded and his pupil's disappeared, his once cobalt fur turned blacker than the deepest abyss as a purple aura rose around him whispering to him.

"This body's mine…" Sonic's last remaining consciousness faded away.

"Never...whole. AAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!" He yelled as the purple aura flew furiously around him engulfing him into a pillar of darkness before shrinking down and revealing Dark super Sonic. Sonic then grew a wicked grin.

"Fine! If i'm not real...then I'll destroy this land AND EVERYTHING IN IT! ….AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" He laughed as he flew in the direction of ponyville in a black streak.

"Ahahaha, what a moron!" He fell down and laughed. "I can't believe he fell for it, and now that show has begun, now for the second act." Discord said as he laughed and flew away.

Meanwhile…

The Mane Six were walking through the maze unaware of what happened to Sonic. They walked through as they come across another wide open area.

"Wait dearies isn't this the same place like before?" Rarity said looking confused as the other looked at the place. "Ah I don't know, this place is confusing." Applejack said trying to make sense of this place.

Twilight meanwhile was just looking depressed, she couldn't stop thinking about Sonic.

"Sonic…" She thought to herself.

"Twilight, are you okay Sugarcube?" Applejack asked her noticing her friend's expression.

"Oh, yeah. Sorry, I was just thinking." She said, though Applejack beat her to the punch.

"About Sonic." Applejack said, Twilight nodded.

"He'll be alright Twi,." She said reassuring the unicorn. Twilight smiled at that and kept walking. Rainbow then huffed.

"Okay that does it. I can't take it anymore. I'm going to fly up to get a better view and steer you in the right direction." She tries to fly up the hedge maze, though as she was trying to get up she got knocked down by a force, she falls for a bit and hits ground level hard as Fluttershy goes to see if she was ok.

"Ow. What the hay? Where did that come from?" She asked as she looked up above her. Fluttershy looked at her and held her hand out.

"Are you alright Rainbow Dash?" Fluttershy asked helping Rainbow up. Rainbow then held her hand behind her back and scratched it.

"Yeah I'm cool Fluttershy. I just wish I knew what just happened." She said as she and the others heard laughing coming from around them. Then suddenly the hedge maze around them starts to dissipate, and out comes Discord.

"Well, if you must know Crash, I made a wall of psychic energy, or just a wall if you want to be plain." He said hanging around in midair, he then dodged out of the way as he sees Twilight with her hand up signifying she shot out a beam of magic.

"Discord, where are the elements!?" Twilight said as she had her hand up ready to shoot again. He then sighs as he didn't feel threatened at all.

"UGGGH, are you surrrre you want them?" He asked her as mock politeness as he could sound, and then dodges another beam fired by Twilight, though he looks back and sees Rarity was the one who fired the beam.

"As you can see we're tired of your games, you brute! Now give us our Elements." She said as she had enough of his antics.

"Okay, okay then jeez you're all are no fun." He then pulled out a top hat and a little magician's wand and tapped the rim of it. "Ala kazam!" He said, he then reached in the hat pretending to reach inside and rummaging around as sounds clanking metal came from it.

"Now, i know they're in here. Aha!" He then pulled out a box decorated in assorted jewels. He then opened it to reveal the Elements of harmony.

"Ok, here you ya go five necklaces and one crown in perfect condition." He said to them as Pinkie was about to grab the box though Discord pulls it away from her.

"BUT, there's a catch, you can either have these and save you're boring kingdom, or…:" He then snaps his finger and came a snow globe. You can have these little pests." He said as he gave the mane six a closer look and confirmed that contained inside the snowglobe contained the CMC plus Silver Spoon as they were knocking at the glass containing them.

"APPLEJACK!" "RARITY!" "RAINBOW DASH!" "PLEASE HELP US!" They each shouted with Silver in the corner who looked like she was crying.

The three respected sisters (well two, if Dashie a sort-of sister to Scootaloo) all tried to get the globe though it became out of their reach as Discord retracts his arm back to him as he wiggles his hand.

"Uh-uh-uh, no touchy-touchy." He said as the three looked angry.

"GIMME BACK MAH SISTER, YOU SNAKE!" Applejack yelled out as she stomped her foot down. "YOU GIVE ME BACK MY SISTER YOU CONNIVING BRUTE!" Rarity yelled out losing her temper and trying to lash out at him. "GIVE SCOOTALOO BACK YOU JERK!" Rainbow Dash said as she tries to fly towards Discord though he teleports away every time.

"Wait there you little equines, I'm gonna make a deal for you." He then holds the box and globe in both hands. "It's either the girls or the elements, take your pick." He said while having his wicked smile on his face. He then notice Sonic is getting closer to Ponyville and decides to make things a little more fun for them. "Oh and just so you know. I'm not your only worry." He said as Sonic gets closer to Ponyville. As Discord voice is heard Sonic starts to grin devilishly.

Twilight then had her eyebrow raised as she questioned what Discord meant. "What do you mean?" She asked.

"I'm saying that you have much bigger fish to fry than me."

Sonic grins devilishly as he approached Ponyville. As he approaches thunder and lightning could be seen. There was a storm coming and it was going to go off with a bang.
