Author's notes

Welp, we're back. Time another installment.

Some of you may have noticed, but I've changed my pin name. It's for keeping this thing secured just in case my parents decide to snoop around this website. They'll see someone else's name instead of my user name.

If they see some of the crap I'm writing here, I'll be forced to stop this fiction… period. If they were to catch me, I can kiss more than a year work goodbye. There's no talking into it. As soon as they read this they'll cut off my internet and throw away my computer.

My mother won't let my little niece watch SpongeBob… You tell me whether I should admit that I wrote a whole story about a romantic relationship between a hedgehog and a pegasus. They hiss if they hear anything that isn't gospel, crap; even PG movies can push their buttons. The bonuses, let's not even go there. I could only imagine the look on my mother's face when she reads about Sonic getting raped by a pink pony.

The good news is that they are as handy with a computer as Justin Bieber fighting a bike gang, so it's very unlikely… VERY unlikely… But one can't be too careful.

I'll still use my nickname in the bonuses, though. As much I have talked to Pinkie and the Tails Doll, they will call me by my nickname no matter what I say to them. I couldn't talk them into it, as soon as they found out that I changed my pin name they threw a fit. Besides, if my parents are already reading this, I'm busted anyways.

So if by some chance that you have known me or may have heard of me in real life, and you can somehow make this connection and find out who I am; please keep this quite for mine and everyone else's sake.

Shoutouts:

SnugglyNimbus: Don't worry, I'll quit this thing when it's finished or when I'm dead!

Aura The Hedgehog: Yea, the author's notes should be taken seriously. I was tempted to quit because of the weight this thing puts on me, but as I said, I'm not quitting! I might be late, but I'm not quitting.

Randomguy H.Q: Nope. Sonic Generations, Friendship is Timeless still holds the top spot. This is threatening the fictions spot, though… Like seriously threatening it, just a couple of more good rounds and I'll have it.

Anyways, it's time for another chap.

---

Sonic and Rainbow were hovering side by side, with the powers of Chaos and Harmony embedded in their bodies and ready to be unleashed upon their foe. The world around them hit their faces as bricks when they looked around.

They found themselves in the space of pure white that stretched towards the horizons for eternity. There was nothing around them, as if the world itself has yet to be created by the hands of God. There was no nature, no wind, no sense of space or direction… There existed absolutely nothing, and this nothing unnerved the two to no end. It was as if this nothing was smothering them.

"Where are we?" Super Sonic asked lowly, his glowing spikes radiating its signature golden color.

Rainbow was just at a loss as he was. She has never heard of such a place where nothing existed… She doubted there was any air here, because when she inhales, she felt no fresh air going down her lungs; just her own breath.

"I-I don't know," She blankly answered, still looking around for any signs of anything. She took in another breath and again felt no air, "How am I even breathing? There's no air here."

"Your own energy supplies your lungs," He explained, "Shadow and I can go into space without a helmet because of the Chaos Energy in us, even without the emeralds."

"But you can't breathe underwater." She noted.

He shrugged, "I know; I never figured that out myself."

Sonic began to fly to high elevation, trying to find anything that might give them a hint of something… Anything.

"Discord could be anywhere in here," Sonic called, "How would we find him in here?"

"He won't run, that's for sure," Rainbow answered, "We've faced Discord before; he has an ego bigger than any snob from Canterlot. He'll find us."

"Ambush?"

"Most likely… Keep your head up."

Sonic lowered himself and hovered relatively close to the pegasus. It's strange, as he neared the pegasus, he felt the spikes on his head and back stand on end. It was a very uncomfortable feeling inside of him, screaming at him to back away from her and keep away.

Chaos Energy, He thought, confirming his theory as he daringly inched closer to her. He felt the insides of him burning like fire, and instantly backed away from her. Rainbow yelped when he hovered close, wincing from the dull pain.

They stood still, waiting for the Spirit of Discord to come out of hiding and face them. Every intense second that passed felt like minutes to them, the anticipation of an unknown attack coming at any time from any angle. They had power of Chaos and Harmony in their hands, they knew that; but they weren't going to underestimate their opponent… They knew better.

Suddenly, Sonic saw Rainbow buckle; almost loosing flight as she shouted in surprise.

"What's wrong?" He asked, worried.

"I… Felt Something." She gasped.

The empowered hedgehog raised an eyebrow, "What did you feel?"

She gave one flap of her wings to stabilized herself, "Don't tell me you didn't feel that, Sonic."

Right after her words passed her lips, the hedgehog's muscles constricted tightly as a sudden rush of power pushed through him.

"He's nearby," Sonic whispered, looking towards every direction possible, "But I don't see him."

As much as they looked, they could see nothing but the wide space of nothingness that surrounded them. They could still feel his presence, however; still sensing his power tickling their bare backs. It was as if he was right behind them, breathing down their necks.

"Come out!" Rainbow shouted. There was no answer other than her own echoing voice, and her own echo ringed in her ears for a full minute. She found her heart beating faster than usual; a ting of urgency bubbling inside of her head. She couldn't tell whether it was a desire for justice, her own harmonic power, or maybe even a hint of fear from the white space surrounding her, but whatever it is, she want this over… and fast.

"You have nowhere to hide!" She continued, "They'll be nothing of you left when we find you!"

Sonic only listened as she continued to spew out threats. He could tell she was unnerved, almost in a state of panic as he continued to feel this haunting urge of unnatural power sweeping him.

"He's probably trying to unnerve us." He suggested, making some attempt to calm her down.

"I'm not nervous," She panted under her breath.

He sighed, "I'm just as shaken as you are; there's no need to build your pride."

She looked to him with an unsure stare, her brave face soften to a forced sneer.

"He knows as well as we do what will happen in this fight; we kick his flank and head on home with our heads held high," Her face softened even more, almost shivering, "But this place… It feels so unnatural. Just seeing nothing but white around us with nothing in sight, it's just… creepy. It's like I can feel it!"

Sonic wished he could fly over and give her a reassuring pat on the back. The atmosphere around him felt like his own power of Chaos for some reason; he could feel his own power being amplified to no end… He could only imagine what she's going through.

"Just hang with me," He told her, "It's probably just one of his tricks… He'll show up and-"

Suddenly, just before he could finish the sentence in his head, they felt a surge of energy pushing violently through them; knocking them back. Rainbow shouted in instant pain, her white coated body fazing as the mysterious energy passed through her. she fought through the scorching burning sensation around her body and stomach; the colorful flames that scorched from her tail and mane were threatening to extinguish itself.

"Rainbow!"

He recklessly threw himself in front of her, shielding the violent ripples of energy that slammed against her. An overwhelming sense of power over took him as he held his spot in front of her, becoming more and more hyper as he absorbed the mysterious power. He quickly glanced behind and found the empowered pegasus struggling to stay behind him, but her pure white shining coat retained itself as for her rainbow colored flames. She strained through her teeth to speak.

"Don't… Move."

They felt this overwhelming force gathering somewhere behind them, and by each second it's presence began to intensify. Rainbow felt her back legs and flanks burning like fire as this force continue to manifest behind them.

"Move forward!" She pleaded to the top of her lungs, "Sonic! Move forward!"

Sonic steadily pushed ahead as the pegasus lingered behind him, pushing through the burning sensation coming from behind and in front of her. The hedgehog had to balance how far away to be away from her, and struggled to find that sweet spot to keep Dash out of Danger. Too much space and the force in front of them will sweep her to an certain doom, too little and his own Chaotic aurora will take her.

They again glanced behind and Sonic felt something gathering into an invisible sphere. An indescribable power surged from this empty space and only grew more intense by the second. Ripples of massive energy pulsed from this sphere and pushed outward like lightening. Sonic had no time to react

She screamed to the top of her lungs in pain, her white coated body dimming and fading as her glowing eyes dimmed. Before Sonic could even react upon this he felt the gather of this mysterious energy becoming more and more unstable. He zipped in front of her, letting her take the hits in front of her to protect her. More ripples pulsed in front of him and absorbed into his body. It felt like he was going to explode from the amount of energy he absorbed.

Suddenly, the energy that came from all around ceased, and all that remained was the enormous build up in front of him. It was a much needed break for the pegasus, one more second enduring the waves of this force and she knew she would have passed out.

Another powerful ripple exploded in front of him, another ripple absorbed into his body. He stretched his hand to the side and unleashed a pure golden beam, trying to relieve his body of his overloaded power.

Another ripple in front of him, another ripple absorbed. With a shout he pushed his other hand to the other side and unleashed another beam from that hand. Even with the amount of power he pumped into his relieving attack, it only did so much. He couldn't let a Chaos Blast slip from him; Dashie was just right behind him. If he slipped then she would have to endure the power of a Blast from seven Chaos Emeralds and from whatever was happening in front of them… No power could withstand that, even her harmonic powers couldn't even hold a torch to it. It would kill her for sure.

She still couldn't move, flying away meant exposing herself to the energy that was rippling in front of them.

After of couple of minutes, Sonic felt his untamed power ready to give away. He even shot out golden beams from his shoes and that wasn't enough to relieve him. No matter how much Chaotic power he pumped into those four beams that shot from his appendages, the power surges coming towards him more than made up for it.

He gritted his teeth, feeling his insides expanding and just begging to release itself of this extra power. The pain was simply unbearable, so much pain he felt that he felt hot tears tickling down his cheeks.

A white sphere coated him, ready to explode outward and devastate hundreds of miles around him into oblivion. He began screaming, pushing as much energy as he could to his arms and legs to relieve himself of his over charged chaos energy.

As he felt his own grasp slipping, a sudden and bright blinding flash exploded in front of him… The next thing that came upon them was complete darkness.

---

Sonic peered his eyes open with several bright spots floating in front of him from the flash. He was panting, feeling all that stored power suddenly released within a blink of an eye.

No.

With his vision still blurred, he frantically looked around for any signs of Rainbow Dash… But only saw nothing through his recovering eyes.

No!

He felt his throat constricting as he desperately called her name out loud. A couple of minutes passed and not a single sound was heard. His calls became nothing more but a mere whisper.

"I… I killed her."

He closed his eyes and felt his heart hit the bottom of his stomach. For several long minutes he floated in that one spot, clutching his fists together as he tried to hold his tears in.

"Sonic."

He couldn't believe it. Why couldn't his hold his chaos energy when he needed to?

"Sonic?"

She's gone. She's dead and her blood is splattered all over his hands.

"Sonic!"

Why did this have to happen? Why couldn't he just finish off Eggman during the many chances he had? Every time he let him go, people die; every time he stood over his exhausted body after a major fight, he just lets him go, not willing to stoop down to his level. If he had just killed him, none of this would have happen… None of it!

"SONIC!"

That loud booming voice came close to rupturing his ear drums. He shot his head around and found a bright white figure hovering several meters away from him with a blazing colorful flame dancing behind it and across its shape. He could just make it out as his eyes began to finally fully recover… He froze.

"What's wrong with you, dude?" Rainbow Dash asked, "I've been trying to get your attention for like… Forever."

"H-" He couldn't believe what was floating in front of him, "Th-the blast… How? I thought you were dead!"

"That weird energy just suddenly disappeared as it was gathering in front of us," She explained, fining him at a complete lose, "I don't know why, though… I hightailed it away from you as soon as it did."

He didn't know whether to laugh or cry… But just smiled, "I-I honestly thought you were gone."

"I thought I was too until that energy just disappeared all of a sudden, gave me just enough time to escape."

He was just about to say something until he suddenly noticed his surroundings.

"…Why are we in space?"

He no longer saw empty white space, but instead found himself surrounded by billions and billions of countless twinkling stars. The two looked below and saw nothing but a blue mass that belonged to a planet. Strikes of purple and blue from distant galaxies painted the empty space like a canvas, almost appearing alive as they very subtly curve and move.

"This place just gets weirder and weirder," Dash remarked, dazzled by the breathtaking view, "How did we go from a… White universe thing to space? It's not making any sense!"

"Ah, how much I wish that were true."

They jumped; just hearing that infamous voice that seemed to dance around them. The two searched in all directions possible, but seeing nothing.

"Where are you!?" She screamed, "Where have you taken us!?"

"You mean where you have chased me too," The deep, majestic voice corrected, "I simply decided to retreat to a very special place where I call home."

"Get down here!" Rainbow shouted, "Fight us! Let us finish you off!"

"Now what's the rush, Rainbow Dash?" Discord coolly answered her, "We have all the time in the world. I can't harm you two and you two can't harm me as long as I don't physically matterize myself," He sighed lonely, "You know, I'm going to miss my old handsome body… That's the last time I try to manipulate a grumpy black artificial life form. Where do you meet these characters, Sonic? Internet?"

"You can't conceal yourself forever!" Sonic shouted, completely ignoring his antics, "We'll find a way to beat you!"

"You're going to pay for what you have done, Discord!" Rainbow followed, "We're going to rip you to shreds!"

The majestic voice lightly chuckled, "Dashie… Do you have any idea where you are?"

"Space," Sonic bluntly answered, "Now get out here and fight!"

"Hasty; aren't we?" Discord sighed, "I might as well skip this pointless dialogue and get to the point. You see, that portal I created didn't just throw us into space; no sir, we have traveled to the past… WAY in the past."

"How far?" Sonic asked, partially curious.

"I'm talking about before any of you were born," Discord explained, "Before Equestia, before any kingdom or government were formed, even before any sign of life existed." He pointed downward, "Do you two see that big mass of blue below us?"

The two looked down, seeing nothing but a mass ocean. Compared to what was underneath them, they were nothing but a grain of sand.

"That's where YOU live, Dashie," Discord emphasized with a small grin, "This is your planet before it even took form."

Dash just stared at him with eyes growing as wide as saucers, failing to keep her angry and determine stare towards the spirit.

"You lie."

"Ah, but let me give you another piece of information as of why I brought you two here," Discord chuckled, "Do you two recall your litter experience just moments ago, where nothing existed and where Dash had her near death experience?"

Sonic and Dash kept his gaze at him. The spirit took it as a yes.

" … That was when I was born."

The two could only stare at him in disbelief and shock as he continued.

"That's right, that force you two have been feeling before space existed, that was me… I am the very first thing that existed, and my birth created everything you see right now."

Discord coughed, clearing his metaphorical throat.

"You see, Shadow didn't just destroy my physical body; all of that energy ripping through me gave me a kind of energy I haven't felt since I was ruling. I tried to take over that robot bird… Thingy in order to finally rid you two and the rest of your friends, but," He paused, "I don't know how, but that robot's will over took mine and trapped me; until Shadow once again used his Chaos Emeralds to once again free me and, unfortunately for you two; empowered me even more. So powerful I became that I managed to create a time portal that took us here to the very beginning of creation. This is my past, everything you see existed from me being born."

"And now you two face me," He concluded, "when I was at the peak of my power. I must say that Chaos Energy do seem to become a little rusty after a couple of millions of years."

They couldn't believe him, they just couldn't believe a word he's saying. Is this some kind of trick, just some kind of mind game he's playing just to unnerve them?

"No, I'm afraid not." Discord sighed, seeing just what they were thinking, "I don't play around when it comes to my heritage. What kind of power do you think took to create everything around us; nothing? Chaos isn't just some kind of magic that I poof out of my paws; I AM chaos! In the beginning was chaos!"

He finally thundered in front of them in his physical form. His appearance resembled his old body to an extent; snake like body, mismatched horns and appendages, even his face and smile was the same. His own body, however; wasn't mended together by flesh. Instead what Sonic and Rainbow saw was a thin and dull purple gas like substance that made up his body. There were tiny celestial stars dotted across his frame. His eyes became a very dark hull that seem to glow with malice and power.

"And in the end will be chaos. I'm going to take back everything that was laid out before me, before the Alicorn race managed to whip out every one of my species. All of my kind will once again rule, and I will make sure that it stays that way."

He turned to Rainbow. His gas like body glowing brighter as he raised his claw and paw. An invisible mass of chaos energy formed above him, making his appendages shimmer while holding it.

"And after killing you, Dash; there will be nothing to stop me from making sure it stays that way."

He threw his appendages forward and hurled the mass of chaos energy towards her. While she zipped away, Sonic teleported in front of her and absorbed the shot. It washed over him like water, and he took in a deep breath as he felt his energy spike.

"She's won't die if I have anything to say about it!" Sonic shouted, "You can't hurt me, your energy is the same as my own!"

Sonic was blindsided when a flash of Rainbow rushed by him. It struck the figure dead on the chest as a loud and demonic scream roared. As Discord was forcibly pushed back, he instantly teleported and reappeared before them. Rainbow was zipping back beside the hedgehog by a great distance; huffing.

"And there's nothing protecting you from me!" Rainbow added with her wing covered in a black mass that quickly disintegrated into nothing, "If harmony beat you once, it can do it again!"

The slash that was marked on Discord's stomach slowly shrunk as his God like body shrunk itself to their size, staring at the pegasus with his hollow eyes as Chaos Energy formed in his hands and paws. Being a bigger target for something that can move at the speed of light isn't a smart strategy.

"Then let's settle this climatic battle once and for all."

Author's Notes

It's a little weird writing Discord now that I got a true grasp on his personality on the show. He's nowhere in character as he is in the show. This Discord is more darker and, I don't know; murderous.

The battle itself was going to be written in the same chapter, but I had to publish something this month. I had my hands full trying to work with the PA system in our church during a week-long revival. That and breaking down writer's block. It'll be pretty much straight forward after this, so maybe the worst of it is over. I have some of the battle written, though; and I'm planning on publishing it shortly.

Only a few of you commented on the last bonus. I'm taking that hardly anyone enjoyed it? If you readers don't tell me these things, I will presume the worst.

Should I continue the Equestia Girls bonus or not, let me know. After writing the first part I didn't find it all that funny either, even if there were some memorable moments. So if I don't have to write it then it'll be easier for me, but again; if you find this funny, then say so and I'll gladly continue.

If I don't continue then there won't be anymore bonuses until the end of the story. I have to save my secret weapon of laughter until last.

Well, I have one more in mind but… I'm playing around with it.

Deadline: Two weeks, or at least I'll try to meet it.

God Bless, and I'll see everyone in the next chapter.

With peace and Christ's love.

Harry!

And a happy new year!... I know, it's a little late. :p
