Currently the two girls Twilight and Fluttershy were flying over the city... well more like Twilight was hanging onto Fluttershy's hands as they flew over the city. 'Freeloading' as Sonic had put it but was quickly called out on his criticism by Tails.

"Twilight?" A concern Fluttershy asked her purple friend.

"Hm?" She pouted as she raised her head to meet her shy companion.

"You... seem kind of depressed."

Biting her lower lip Twilight took a deep breath. "I'm alright..." She scanned the area frantically looking for any type of sign for her friends.

Twilight began to notice that they were beginning to bud up and down in the air. She looked up to see Fluttershy's face red and slight sweat. She was definitely tired. "Fluttershy," She called grabbing her attention. "let's rest on that building over there." She gestured towards the tall building with a flat surface which would allow her friend to rest without anyone spotting them.

As soon as Fluttershy landed them safely on top of the building she crashed on her back in exhaustion. "Are you okay, Fluttershy?" Twilight placed a concern hand on Fluttershy's.

"Just... pushed... m-myself a little."

"More like I pushed you... sorry I made you come with me."

"There's no way I'd let you go alone, Twilight. We're friends." She stood up to give her a hug.

"Yeah, friends," She hugged her back. "Thanks Fluttershy."

"Friends... I really like that work." A third voice said out of no where.

"Gah!" Both girls broke apart and turned their heads behind them. They saw a women who looked to be around eighteen with blonde waist long hair, a blue dress and hunting boots. She was sitting at a table that appeared as suddenly as she had. She sat there with one eye closed as she rested her head on her right hand.

"What the.. how the... where the..." Both girls looked back and forth but couldn't put together how she had gotten there.

She giggled at their reactions. "You both seem stressed. Please have a seat."

They blinked at her. "U-ugh s-sorry but..." Fluttershy stuttered.

"There's only one chair." Twilight pointed to the single seat this stranger was sitting at.

"Oh?" She opened both her eyes and looked surprised to see that she was right. "Well I'll be." She whispered.

She snapped her fingers and two chairs appeared at the table.

"...HUH?!"

"Please take a seat."

After a few moments of thinking they... decided to go for it. They each took a seat. "I-Is she a witch...?" Fluttershy whispered to herself.

She must have heard her because she smirked and said. "I can assure you... I am no witch."

"Gah?!"

"Allow me to introduce myself." She started. "My name is, Ellen."

"We're-"

"Twilight and Fluttershy." Ellen finished for them.

After seeing the wide eyed expressions on their faces Ellen said, "I know many things my friends."

Fluttershy mental shrank during this entire conversation. She opened her mouth but couldn't find any words to say.

She's not freaking out about seeing us even though the other humans have but..., Fluttershy said in her head.

"Have some tea." Ellen said as she flicked her fingers again which summoned a cup of tea for each of the.

"This has to be magic." Twilight muttered.

"It is." Ellen answered.

"...Do you know Sonic?" Twilight had to ask. This girl couldn't be human. Twilight and Fluttershy have had a conversation with Chris and his uncle about magic not being in this world so she had to be from one of their worlds and Twilight couldn't remember her so she might be Sonic's fri-

"If you mean 'do I know him personally' then... no I do not."

Never mind.

Ellen took a sip of her tea. "Have some tea and I'm sure you'll relax."

Both Twilight and Fluttershy looked at each other but ended up taking a short sip anyways. There wasn't apparently anything wrong with it. In fact it tasted very good. Sweet but had a little of a lemony taste as well.

"You're upset about losing your friends right?" Ellen asked.

Twilight slowly nodded not even bothering to ask how she knew. She seemed to know to much right now anyways.

"You're more specifically worried about a young boy named Spike and-"

"Spike?!" Twilight jumped a bit. "Have you seen him?!"

She shook her head. "No I have not."

Twilight tilted her head down in disappointment. "Oh..." She got her hopes up just to be crushed.

"I can tell you two have a close bond."

"I basically raised him since he hatched from his egg."

An idea popped into Fluttershy's head. "Do you... have a close bond with someone?"

For the first time Ellen's face showed slight weakness but she quickly regained herself. "You can say that."

Both pony girls tilted their heads.

"But missing your friends isn't the only thing I see. You feel kind of useless right now."

Twilight scratched the back of her head shyly. "Maybe a little..."

"Relax, I'm sure there is much that you can do. You should just get have patients."

"Do you really feel useless Twilight?" Fluttershy asked.

Not really giving her an answer Twilight simply looked off to the side. "Sonic helped both me and you... I want to repay him."

"Not everyone can do something great in every situation. I'm sure that you'll get your chance." Ellen told her.

"Yeah, I think you may be right." Twilight took a deep sigh of relief. "Thanks but why are you being so nice?"

While the two pony girls weren't looking Ellen had disappeared without a trace.

"S-she vanished?!" Fluttershy stuttered.

"S-she must be magic." Twilight said.

Their conversation did not last long at all. The building that they were on began to rumble and knocked over the table. "W-what's going on, Twilight?!" Fluttershy panicked. Some sort of hook shoot through the floor.

"Move!" Acting fast Twilight tackled her friend far away from the hook. Good thing she did to. Some robot raised up quickly onto the roof.

"W-w-what is that?" Fluttershy stuttered.

"It looks like a robot... at least from what Tails told me." Twilight answered.

"Mwahahaha!" Someone laughed. "Now bring down that idiotic fox!" That looked to see a man with a surprising amount of nosehair rise up in some sort of hover craft.

"Is that doctor Eggman?" Fluttershy asked.

"Well... Sonic said he looked like an egg but... wow. Now I want bacon." Twilight drooled slightly.

"Huh?" The doctor turned his head towards them. "Oh no don't tell me you're with Sonic."

"H-h-how many times do I have to tell people, we're not together!?" Twilight screamed.

"What are you talking about?" Eggman tilted his head.

"Uh... that... we're going to stop you...?"

"Twilight..." Fluttershy tapped her shoulder slightly. "You're only hurting yourself." She whispered.

"Attack!" Eggman commanded his robot to attack them.

It launched his fist at them and the two of them dodged the attack. "Twilight what do we do?" Fluttershy asked.

"Uh... she looked around. She placed her hands in front of the robot and a purple aura coated her hand. She tried to lift it but in the end it was to heavy for her to carry. "It's too much..."

"Don't worry Twilight!" Tails called as he showed up with his Tornado. "Ready Chris?"

"You bet." He replied.

"Alright Tails!" Twilight said.

Tails fired a furry of bullets directly hitting the machine but it didn't even leave a dent in it. In fact it shot it's own attack right back at Tails but he managed to dodge. "The armors to strong!" Tails said.

A series of Tails dodging each shot of those arm-hooks and him firing to no effect continued as Twilight and Fluttershy watched to wonder just what could they do. "We can't just sit here." Twilight said.

"But your magic can't effect it." Fluttershy said.

"Maybe..."

"Hey! Eggman!" Someone came crashing through the door. A guy with red hair in dreds and spiked knuckles. As soon as he came through the door a girl in a short red dress and pink hair came through the elevator. "What took you so long?" He asked with a smirk at her.

She walked past him and pulled out a giant hammer and looked ready to swing it to this machine. "Step away from tails you bully!"

"Stop, Amy!" He called out to her.

She made a swing to its leg and made contact but as before it didn't have any effect on it. It turned around grabbed her, lifting her up with one arm.

Twilight and Fluttershy couldn't sit back anymore and it looked like this brawler had the same feeling. All three of them charged at him but Eggman stood in their way. "Not so fast kids. One more step and she's history." As he said those words Amy screamed as she was starting to be crushed. "Knuckles!" She screamed.

Where's Sonic?!, Twilight screamed in her head.

Then her eyes widened. Sonic's... not always going to be there... we need to handle something like this ourselves, She thought. She gasped. I have an idea, She thought.

The robot was to heavy for her to use her powers on but maybe...

She placed her hands above her head to make it look like she was surrendering. However a familiar aura formed on her hands and now she targeted... Eggman's hovercraft!

"W-what the?!" He freaked out. "What's happening?!"

She shoved her hands forwards which sent Eggman crashing into his machine which made it lose it's grip on Amy.

"I got you!" Fluttershy managed to catch her before she hit the ground.

"Thanks..." She strained.

"That was some trick." He smiled at Twilight.

That hair... those knuckles..., Twilight put the pieces together. "You're Knuckles!"

"You know me?"

"Sonic said look for the guy with a very stern look."

"... I'm killing that guy."

"Eh... Uh... anyways good luck!"

"Huh?" He said in confusion but knew what she met when a punch set him on the ground.

"Oh right..." He stood up with a smirk. "Alright time to said you to the junkyard!"

The robot sent another flying fist towards him but knuckles managed to grab it. "Well... if Sonic was here we'd get a corny joke or something." Knuckles smirked. "But... with me.. you get... nothing!" With great forced Knuckles pulled the arm so hard that it was ripped off.

"No!" Eggman cried while rubbing his injured head. "My Egg-hooker!"

Another fist was shot at Knuckles but with a hard punch Knuckles shattered the fist. "Alright!" Knuckles charged forward.

In a desperate attempt the robot also charged towards knuckles. Giving a quick job to the robot it was sliding to the edge of the roof and looked like it was having an hard time keeping itself up.

"Oh this thing so has it coming." Twilight said as she used her powers to give it a little nudge that caused it to fall off the building. A loud crash could be hear a few seconds later.

"Uh Twilight?" Fluttershy said.

"Hm?" She replied with a satisfied look.

"What if that landed on someone?"

That proud face she had disappeared in an instant. She rushed over the edge to see if any people were hurt. Luckily no one had a face that read 'OMG BLOODY MURDER!'.

She took a sigh of relief.

"N-no! My robot! I worked hard on him!" Eggman complained.

"Forget it Eggman." Knuckles said as he cracked his knuckles. "You're about to get some payback."

"Hey I want in!" Sonic said as he suddenly appeared.

"Sonic!" Amy and Twilight said.

"Oh Sonic I can't believe you! I could've been hurt!" Amy said as she crossed her arms.

"S-sorry Amy but I just found out that Egghead was here." He scratched the back of his head. "Nice work though everyone. Even you knucklehead."

"Well I always have to clean up your mess anyways."

During there conversation Eggman tried to sneak away but was being pulled back by an unknown force. "Not so fast!" Twilight said.

"You're not going anywhere." Knuckles said.

"Sonic!" Tails said as he landed his plane and he and Chris went to Sonic.

"Well we caught Egghead and humiliated him. This can't get any better."

"Uh guys?" Fluttershy said as she looked up. "Do you see that?" She pointed up.

"Huh?" Everyone looked to where she was pointing.

"Something... black?" Sonic guessed.

"I see red." Chris said.

Sonic's eyes widen and in a split second he jumped out of the way as that image they were watching closed in on him and this robotic figure tried to penetrate him with his sword. "Wow buddy, terrible way to introduce yourself. You ever tried a handshake."

The robotic man scratched his white hair. "I'll admit, I didn't think you'd dodged. This might be fun after all." He was standing on top of his sword as it was stuck in the ground but jumped off it and pulled it out. "I'll be blunt... I'm here to kill you."

"Who isn't?" Sonic said.

"Raiden." A robotic voice called.

A robotic dog-like machine crawled onto the building and took a spot next to who they presumed was 'Raiden'.

"I feel that these others will interfere once you engage the target. I shall keep them occupied." It said as it got into a battle stance.

"Try not to over do it." Raiden said.

"You think you can take me K-9?" Knuckles said as he cracked his knuckles.

"Well I was a bot disappointed that I missed the fight with Eggman so you should do for a nice time-skipper."

"Funny... I was about to say the same about you."

Sorry that Sonic and Raiden didn't get to tango in this chap but there's been a change of plans to get the girls more screen time. Also I was going to include the fight in this but I'm not to well. I actually though I had cancer this weel but it was actually just an inverted hair bump xD. Hurts like hell though a bit when I move to much but I should be better soon. I hope you guys enjoy.

BTW "Nobodyimportant" If you give such great advice to someone then you are not "Nobodyimportant" lol anyways thanks. And don't worry I actually have these ideas planned out in the long run the other stories won't really come into contact yet until a while.
