It was cold, unforgiving, and most of all, deserted as Sonic lay slumped against a brick wall in his cell, meditating his past events. He's been in the dungeon for a full day since his arrest. The princess has ordered the guards to feed him regularly, but when they approach his cage, they often spit on the bowl and chunk it at him, spilling half of his rations all over the floor. His blue spikes were covered with dirt and he can smell his own stench from the lack of hygiene. None of this bothered him though, even tasting a pony's spit couldn't compare to one simple fact…Someone have beaten him.

Every time he imagined that colorful blast flying over him, he knocked his back head against the wall, in a futile attempt to jog it out of his memory. That cyan Pegasus, who was she? The creature that has outpaced him in a full sprint, something that has never been accomplished even by a notorious master mind. An image of Rainbow Dash standing over him came to him suddenly; if there was one thing he remembered about her, she sure was a stubborn character. Never once he has seen anything with such determination.

"How did that girl shoot over my sprint?" He asked himself in a low mumble, "That explosion, that rainbow…How is all of that possible?"

He buried his head in his own arms, letting out a long sigh. As much as he hated to admit defeat, he has to admit to himself that he was rather impressed by her.

I sure would like to meet that pony in person.

His mind began to drift again into his own memories, until he heard two voices from the corner of the room. One voice he surely recognizes.

"You don't have authorization to be in here!" A guard shouted at someone.

"Oh, yea? Here's my authorization!" A deep voice answered in an angry tone.

Sonic heard a loud thud against a wall. He stood to his feet and peek his around the cell's bars to see what it was; Knuckles was rushing towards his cell.

"There you are Sonic!" He sighed in relief as he stood in front of him, "How you been?"

"Never better." Sonic answered sarcastically.

"I don't take your word for it." Knuckles briefly joked, "Now stand back while I punch these bars out."

He didn't waste any time stepping out of the way while Knuckles drew his fist back. He punched the bars at full force, sending three of them flying out of their places and crashing against the wall, leaving a large dent. Knuckles led Sonic out of the room and into a long hallway leading to the exit.

"Listen, we have a small situation outside. Are you in any condition to fight?"

"Why?" Sonic asked with a sly grin, "You ticked off dozens of soldiers just waiting to beat us down?"

A laser fire was heard from above; then the ceiling above them suddenly came crashing down. They sprinted just in time to dodge the debris. Sonic had to cover his eyes when sunlight poured in. When they adjusted, they saw a robot jumping over the gap, firing at will.

"Eggman always have a way of timing things." Sonic commented.

The two jumped into the opening. Buildings were set on fire and ponies were running in every direction desperately trying to find cover. Robots were marching through the streets, shooting at anything they see as a threat.

"You ready?" Knuckles asked excitingly.

"Lady's first." Sonic answered gesturing his hand politely.

Knuckles gave him a cold glair, then rolled his eyes and jumped in front of the intruders. Before one of them had a chance to fire he punched the first robot he saw, sending it crashing into its comrades behind it. They open fire at him, but he jumped out of their line of sight. The attacking robots then heard a swift of wind behind them. They spun around and saw a blue blur bouncing from one attacker to another in quick succession. They tried to hit him with laser shots, but before any of them had a chance to lock on, the last one was taken out by a sharp kick to the head. Sonic was so relieved to release some of that frustration out of his system.

These robots are easier to deal with than the last time I've encountered them. Sonic thought

"The invasion is hotter in the center of town." Knuckles said to him, "We need to get over there and assist the guards."

"Where's Amy and Tails?" Sonic asked running towards that direction.

"Amy's gathering every pony she could to safety." Knuckles answered trying to keep up with him, "Tails contacted me earlier; he's on his way."

They saw hundreds of robots storming to the center of town. Sonic and Knuckles stayed hidden so they can ambush from behind again. Before Knuckles had a chance to jump into the fray, a large black thunder bolt shot down the street way, skewering units that were unlucky enough to be caught in its path. It was a good thing Knuckles stopped before jumping. The surviving robots opened fire at their attacker; Sonic curled up into a ball and spun right at them, sawing them with such precision and speed that almost at once the invaders collapsed in a mess of sparks. The animals inside of them either flew or jumped out and scattered. Luna happened to be at the end of the street; she saw him and a red creature running to the other end of the street.

"Sister, the hedgehog has escaped!" Luna shouted behind her.

Celestia had her back on her, summoning a massive fire ball on top of her horn to engulf a large pile of robots below. When she fired, the ball unleashed a devastating blast on impact, vanquishing everything robot below. The animals inside of them scattered about unharmed.

"Leave him." Celestia shouted back, "We have more important matters to attend to."

They backed up to the main castle, shooting anything that's made out of metal. Celestia put up a magical shield around her and her sister, blocking any kind of laser fire and at the same time allowing Luna to rapidly shoot energy balls mercilessly at her targets. The Elites were right underneath them, shooting special orbs that disintegrate anything that made contact. Soon the area was clear, and they retreated inside to check on the elements. A handful of guards charged out of the building and blocked the entrance, ready for anything.

---

Amy was swinging her hammer relentlessly as a large swarm of robots surrounded her. She has done her job; the ponies were lead safely to a series of bunkers located under a series of shops. Before Celestia had this city built, she had her construction workers build them just in incase. Everypony was lead to safety, but Eggman's robots were gaining on her, and she felt her muscles tensing after several minutes of bashing metal.

I don't think I can keep this up for much longer! She though while capping a robot's head clean off.

It was becoming harder to swing, and before she knew it she found herself backed up against a wall. She jumped just in time to dodge a laser fire, and retaliated with a hardy swing to the shooter's stomach, damaging it but not taking it out. She was about to turn tails and run until a series of lightning bolts came crashing down in front of her, wiping out every single robot. She looked to the sky and found seven pegasus flying over her, leaving a trail of black cloud saving one who left a colorful rainbow trail.

"Thanks!" She shouted at them.

They stopped for a second to wave at her and found another large group of robots approaching behind her. Rainbow Dash was the first to respond, flying pass her and started circling the invaders very swiftly. A colorful tornado began to form; they tried to shoot this attacker but couldn't get a line of sight. Three other Wonderbolts flew towards the tornado, joining her. Amy ran for cover to avoid being sucked inside. Black clouds and white lightning swirled around violently, and then suddenly died off when the four pegasus broke the formation. The Robots inside were shattered to pieces, gathered in a nice little pile.

---

Meanwhile, just outside of Canterlot, Tails and five other mares were running and galloping to the front gate; well, more like walking since Applejack was pushing Fluttershy down the path. When Fluttershy overheard Tails informing Rarity of what they were facing, she's been a little resistant of going with them.

"M-my animals were left unfed when we left." Fluttershy softly shouted in panic, "I need to go see if their all right."

"Get yer fanny up, Fluttershy!" Applejack groaned, who've been pushing her for miles now, "Angel is takin care of yer animals."

Tails hovered down until he was beside her, "We need your experience to help gather the animals; we need you."

Fluttershy still had her flanks scooting across the dirt, "C-c-can I wait outside until the fight is over?"

"You have nothing to fear, Fluttershy." Twilight shouted behind her, trying to comfort her, "We'll be by you the entire way."

"You know I can't handle bloodshed, Twilight; you know I can't!"

"Their stinkin' machines!" Applejack shouted, "They don't shed blud!"

Rarity stopped, backing up until she was beside the light-yellow pegasus. She put a hoof around her upper shoulder.

"Applejack, dear. You and the rest go on ahead."
She gave Rarity a stern look, "Yer sure she won't take off?"

"I'm sure."

Applejack slowly raised her head from her back, making sure she wouldn't take off in the other direction. When she saw her standing put; she, Twilight, Pinkie, and Tails went ahead towards the gate. Rarity was staring dead into her eyes, soothing but serious.

"Sweetie; I know your scared, but hear me when I tell you this…I'm scared too."

Fluttershy's muscles began to loosen.

"I'm just as scared as you are. I'm scared of dying, scared of watching my life flash before my very eyes." She looked down, "n…never again seeing my friends."

Tears formed in their eyes, picturing what might happen once they step towards that gate.

"But lives are at stake here, Fluttershy. Those animals need somepony to be there in a time of peril, our friends need us to be behind them. If we don't put ourselves aside and put others ahead…No one will."

Rarity began choking, "Are you willing to walk with me and face this darkness together?"

Fluttershy wiped her tears away, then suddenly galloped ahead of her; heading straight towards the gate without a single regret. Rarity followed right behind her, proud as she could be for any friend.

Twilight, Pinkie, and Tails were the first to enter the city. They were shocked of how much destruction the invaders caused, plenty of buildings were leveled and scrap metal were scattered all over the streets. Applejack then ran to the side, shocked.

"Them machines did all this?" She asked

"Every bit of it." Tails exhaled, "Once they acquire a mission, they don't stop until the job is done."

Rarity and Fluttershy caught up, joining them.

"What are those wrenched machines after?" Rarity asked observing the sight.

Tails turn to her, "If I know Eggman, those Chaos Emeralds."

"We don't have them here." Twilight stated, "Why would he attack this city."
"I'm not for sure, but if I were to take a guess, he must have scanned this planet from space and detected a massive energy source from this city."

"What's a scan?" Pinkie asked curiously.

"We don't have time to answer questions." Twilight shouted running ahead, "We need to find Celestia!"

---

Sonic just finished performing a home attack on the last robot he encountered. Neither he nor Knuckles heard anymore laser fire after taking it out, so they took this time to stay put and rest. After a couple of minutes, Sonic received a call from his head set.

"Yes?" He greeted.

Tails were on the other line, "Sonic, I've reached Canterlot. I'm heading to the center of town right now."

"Great!" He exhaled, "I'll meet you over there."

I've also brought with me five other mares that might be able to help us."

"Uh…Mares?" Sonic asked in confusion.

"You know; ponies." Tails explained, "According to them, they and one other pegasus are keepers of the six elements of harmony."

"The thing that Shadow stole?" Sonic grunted.

"You suspected him too?"

"As much I hate to admit it; he's the only one that's capable of performing this act."

"Well…I really wish I have a way of proving your innocence, Sonic."

"We're not going to have anything solved until we find him." He said, "Have you tried contacting him?"

"I've tried several times since we've arrived, but I can't even confirm if his receiver is even on or not."

"If he saw the papers, then he'll be on the run." Sonic answered him, "The Princess didn't believe I had a twin."

Sonic then heard a loud pitch voice on the other line, speaking really fast, "You like taking to yourself?" She asked, "I always talk to my self. Especially when no one's talking around me."

"Uh, No." Tails answered her, "I'm talking to someone over my head set."

Sonic's eyes widen, remembering all too well of whom that voice belonged to, "Tails…Who's that?"

"You have a friend in there?" She went on, "Oh! Oh! Can I talk to him or her?"

Tails shrugged his shoulders and unattached the device from his ears, placing it on the floor. The pony leaned down and began to scream at it, like she usually does when meeting someone new.

"Hellllllooooooo! Who's in there?"

"He's not IN the head set." Tails explained, "The device is sending a radio frequency to let the receiver hear what the other person is saying."

"…I have no idea what you're talking about." She smiled.

Twilight understood his explanation, though, and she's rather impressed that he made it.

"Doyouhaveanyfriends?" She slurred happily, "I'm always making friends, you can never have so many friends. I know every birthday of all of my friends, ever day of every month of every-"

Sonic gulped and spoke, now too sure who it was, "Uh, hey."

He heard a long period of silence, not even a breath can be heard on the other line…Until-

"YOU! YOU'RE THAT MEANIE THAT SPLATTERED DIRT ALL OVER A FILLY'S BIRTHDAY CAKE! DO YOU HAVE ANY FEELINGS? DO YOU HAVE A HEART? DO YOU EVEN HAVE A BRAIN? WHEN I GET MY HOOVES ON YOU, YOU'LL BE BAKING A CAKE SO LARGE AND DELICIOUS THAT YOU'LL BE HAVING FILLIES DOING SUMMERSAULTS ON THE THEIR BITE! I'M GOING TO MAKE A DESERT MACHINE OUT OF YOU! DO YOU HEAR ME?! YOU'LL GOING TO BRING SMILES TO EVERYO-"

Sonic clicked it off before hearing anymore of that dreadful creature. His ears were ringing and his heart was pacing out of sheer adrenaline and fear.

"Who in the heck was that?" Knuckles asked astounded of what he overheard.

"…Something I rather forget." Sonic whimpered, "Something...That will haunt me for the rest of my life."

"Huh, Like Amy?" Knuckles joked.

"…Definably nothing like Amy."

---

Twilight and the rest were nearing Celestia's castle, which was located in the center of town. One thing they noticed is that they didn't see any dead bodies; the only thing the streets were littered with were fallen robots. Tails took a closer look of one of the scrap piles, picking up some of the wires left over when the royal guards took care of them.

"This is definably Eggman's machines." He said to himself out loud, "But by observing the robots wiring and computer mainframe, it looks outdated."

"You mean old?" Twilight asked hanging onto every bit of his words.

"Exactly; we were fighting state of the art robots when we bust into the space carrier. We even fought one that can manipulate its own body."

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a little blue bird limping towards them; its wings battered, and one of its legs snapped out of joint. Tails ran up to it and gently picked it up by its underside. It was shaking with fear when it saw some strange creature lifting him.

"This little guy must have popped out of the machine." He sadly examined.

Fluttershy immediately galloped to it and hovered in place, stretching out her front hooves to Tails. He slowly reached out his hands and carefully placed it on her hooves. It staggered and wiggled in panic at first, but when it saw Fluttershy's caring and calm smile, it became at ease; just staring into her soothing blue eyes gave it peace.

"Don't worry, little one. I'm going to take care of you. You have nothing to be afraid of."

She inched her head forward and nosed kissed it. The little bird blushed bright red, follow by a little smile. Other little animals came out of their hiding places and approached her.

"I'm taking them to my cottage." Fluttershy said to the group, "I can't just leave them."

"Hurry back." Twilight said to her

Fluttershy flew away while animals of every kind followed her. Minutes later, they arrived at the designated castle. Four elite guards stood aside when they saw Twilight galloping towards them.

---

Sonic and Knuckles were also heading to the center of town, running alone side each other. They were confident that the fight was over; they didn't hear any gun play for several minutes.

"Wait." Knuckles called while coming to a sudden stop.

Sonic squealed to a halt as well, just a couple of feet ahead of him, "Yea?"

"Why are we going back?" Knuckles asked, "The princesses are looking for you, aren't they?"

"They are."

"Then we need to be getting out of here while we still can."

"Our friends are waiting for us there." Sonic answered, "And besides, I have an idea that might prove that I didn't take the crown."

"How?" Knuckles asked confused.

"Just follow me. I'll explain on the way there."

---

Inside a large room with decorative windows on either side, Celestia charged a little magic on her horn and slipped it though a little hole on a brightly colored door. When she backed up, blue light began to emit though a series of tubes that decorated the magical door. After a second, the door creaked open, revealing a little box resting on a mat, sweat was dripping down her face. The last thing she needed was the rest of the elements missing.

"I hope nothing happened to the rest of the elements while we were away." She prayed when levitating the box.

"They were sealed behind a magical door that only you can open." Luna said to her, trying to soothe her anxiety, "The only being that has passed it was Discord."

"Exactly." Celestia sternly stated.

She slowly opened the box, tension building between the two sisters as they peek inside the box. Thankfully, the remaining five elements were untouched; right where she left them. They sighed in relief.

"Good. The remaining elements are left unsoiled." Celestia said levitating the necklaces.

Luna heard the large door behind them open. Twilight, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, and a strange two tailed creature appeared before them. They bowled their heads in respect.

"Twilight. I'm glad you're here." Celestia greeted standing tall over her, who then noticed one of the bearers were missing, "Where's Fluttershy?"

"She'll be here shortly, your highness." Twilight humbly answered.

Luna noticed the strange creature among them. She approached him with a raised eyebrow, rather impressed by his appearance.

"Who will you might be?" She asked.

Tails raised his head and stood up; the rest stood up also, "I'm Tails; Tails Powers."

"Fluttershy found him coming out of the Everfree Forest, your majesty." Rarity explained.

"Where you with Sonic when that rift took place?" Celestia asked approaching him.

Tails felt his body stiff when he looked up at her. Those calm yet stern eyes can break any creature down, "uh, y-yes, your highness. Before we were thrown here, we were trying to stop Dr. Eggman from creating a portal that can carry him across dimensions. When we tried to stop him…Things went haywire."

It's the same story Sonic told us. Celestia thought.

Rainbow dash and the same six wonder bolts appeared at the door way, flying in and landing in an upright position and saluting. Fluttershy also made her appearance and stood along with the mane six.

"Your majesty, the area is secure and the bunkers are now opening to release all of the Canterlot citizens." Spitfire reported.

"Any signs of casualties?" Luna asked.

"Negative." She answered, "Several ponies in the area have sustained injuries, but nothing serious."

"That's good to hear." Celestia said thankfully.

"However, the dungeon guards have informed us that Sonic has escaped from prison. We are requesting your permission to conduct a search."

"Go and bring him back here." She ordered, "Use extreme force if you have too."

"Yes mam!"

But before they can exit, two more figures appeared at the door way. The two princesses couldn't believe who it was; Sonic, alone with a red furred creature behind him, walking towards them with hands in the air. Rainbow Dash flew up and zipped towards her target, pushing him down on his stomach and holding him in place.

"I got him!" She proudly shouted.

Celestia raised an eyebrow at her, "…We can see that."

Rainbow Dash sheepishly smiled and hovered off of him. Sonic stood back up and slowly began approaching the two princesses, with Knuckles trailing right behind him. Celestia and Luna began charging magic into their horns, ready for any sudden movements. The Wonderbolts began hovering, ready to defend their rulers. Pinkie Pie was crouched to the ground, ready to drag his sorry booty to Sugar Cube Corner.

"I would like to make an appeasement, your majesties." Sonic said kneeling before them.

Tails can feel the amount of tension in the air, even from his newly made friends. He has told them what has happened, but just by their glair, he can tell they were having a second opinion as soon as they laid eyes on him.

"An appeasement?" Luna snarled, "I thought we made it very clear to keep you in the dungeon until someone proves your innocence or you give us the location of the crown."

"He is innocent, your majesty." Tails boldly raised his voice, "He's been my closest friend for several years; he would never intend to kill anybody. His heart has always been alone side others."

Rainbow Dash gave Tails a cold glair, "How do we know you're not trying to help him escape?"

"Simple," Knuckles growled pointing at Sonic, "You see him running?"

Rainbow Dash raised her voice, "Oh, as if letting a slime ball like him running free is a good idea!"

That started a loud debacle. Celestia would normally silence this, but instead she was thinking deeply. Maybe if he was innocent. Why would he come back if he could easily out run them? After all, Luna did see him take out several machines. After a couple of minutes, she put a hoof on her sister's shoulder and led her away from them.

"Sister, I'm beginning to have second thoughts about this." Celestia mumbled to her, "His friends are stating him to be a good character."

"They could be just saying that just to convince us to let him go." Luna combated.

"But why would he come back, though? If he was guilty he would have hightailed it out of here."

Luna glanced behind her and still saw the red creature and Rainbow Dash arguing over him. Sonic didn't move from that spot, though; his knees were still on the floor.

"You may have a point." Luna finally submitted.

"We have a crisis on our hands, my dear sister. We've seen what our new enemy is capable of…I have an idea that might can solve our mystery and maybe help us defeat this foe."

"What will that be?" Luna asked.

Celestia turned back around, Knuckles was threatening Rainbow Dash with a sucker punch if she didn't get out of his face. The rest of her friends were trying to break the two up.

"Silence!" Celestia shouted.

At once, they shut their mouths; staring upon her with a little fear.

"We have a situation on our hooves. If that mechanical ruler is after the Chaos Emeralds, then we need to find them before he does." She turned to her most prized student, "Twilight, I am assigning you and your friends of finding them. Sonic has described to me of their power, and will be catastrophic if this man were to obtain them. Once again, Twilight Sparkle, Equestia lies on your shoulders."

As Celestia levitated the five necklaces to them, they deformed and each of the element's symbols circled their owners. Their necklaces brightly shined as they reformed around their necks. Twilight bowed before her, "We will not let you down, Princess Celestia."

"I hope your right, my prized pupil. This task will be bigger than anything you have faced." She then turned to Sonic, who was still on his knees, "You will be responsible of returning the crown on their quest."

"That means your letting him go?" Knuckles asked humbly.

"On one condition." Celestia added, "…Rainbow Dash, you will be in charge of watching over him."

Her mouth dropped to the floor, disgusted, "but-but-"

"You are the only one who can catch him if he decides to run." Luna explained.

Rainbow Dash really wanted to argue, she didn't want to become a keeper of a hedgehog who has more than likely tried to kill her two beloved rulers, but out of complete loyalty in her heart, she pledged to never let him out of her sight.

"We and the loyal guards are going to evaluate the damages." Celestia said to them, "Now go and rest, you all have a big day ahead."

"But where are we going to find the emeralds." Twilight asked.

"Those robots were heading towards this castle when they invaded." Tails answered, "I bet they must have some type of tracking system on them." He turned to Princess Celestia, "Your highness, if you don't mind, I would like to take a closer inspection on those machines."

"Of course." Celestia gladly answered.

---

Sonic and the rest of the group were approaching the Canterlot gate. Every pony that were hiding in the bunkers were out and about, but more cautiously; still frighten out of their wits of what they saw. Tails was holding a large pile of scraps with his arms; he was staggering but happy to be able to inspect them soon. Rarity took notice of this and levitated the piles off of him.

"Let me get that for you, sweetie." She cheerfully obliged, "I don't want you to be staying at Twilight's house all tuckered out."

Tails stared at the floating equipment in astonishment, "How are you doing that?"

"Doing what?" She kindly asked him.

He pointed, "That…How are you doing that?"

"Oh. I'm using magic, dear." She explained.

Twilight galloped to his side and explained to him about unicorns and how they can carry certain tasks using their horn; she couldn't help but share her knowledge with him. Tails was rather intrigued.

"Wow! I never would have thought."

"Is there anything like that in your world?" Twilight asked.

"No…I don't think magic even exists in our dimension. I don't take technology exist here in this world?"

Twilight thought back, "Well…I do have equipment in a basement, but normally; we don't have anything fancy like those…Things."

Behind them, Sonic was walking beside Rainbow Dash, who was hovering along with her wings. Sonic looked over to her direction, and he saw her pouting like a grumpy seven year old. He never thought he could meet her in person; there were so many questions he wanted to ask her. He stuttered for a bit before raising his voice.

"Uh…How fast can you go?"

She turned her head in the opposite direction, trying to ignore him. Something pink popped in front of him suddenly; he almost fell backwards. Her eyes were long and as serious as it can get.

"Mister! You owe me a birthday cake." She growled in her high pitched voice.

Sonic slowly began to step back, expressing fear, "Listen…I'll help you bake that cake one day when we have free time. I didn't mean to devastate somebody's birthday."

She leaned closer to him, "Pinkie promise?"

He stood still for several seconds, then with a small smile on his face, reached out his hand and stuck his pinkie figure at her.

"Promise."

Her wide smile crest on her face, then she used her front hoof to lightly touch his little finger.

"Oakie dokie!"

Apple Jack and knuckles were watching them on the side.

I sure hope that there hedgehog keeps that promise. Apple Jack thought, He'll face da raft of a thousand suns if he don't.

"So." Knuckles butted in, "Who will be staying at whose house?"

"The way I understand it here." Apple Jack answered in her southern tone, "Tails is stayin' at Twilight's, and Sonic and Rainbow is stayin' at Rarity's."

"Where would I be staying?"

"I guss at my place." She took notice of his fists, "We could use sum help over at the farm."

Knuckles didn't mind physical labor; a little exercise wouldn't hurt him, "I'll be glad to help."

"SSOOONNNNIIIIC!"

Sonic looked behind him and saw Amy running right towards him with arms wide open. Apple Jack and Knuckles looked on.

"Uhh, who dat?" Apple Jack asked him.

"Just watch." Knuckles answered him with a grin.

They watched on as Sonic began backing up, chanting, "No…No. No, NO, NO, NONONONO-"

THUD

She embraced him with all of her strength as they fell to the ground, "Sonic! I miss you, Sonic! I'll never let you out of my sight again! I love you, Sonic!"

She went on and on as his face began turning blue. Rainbow Dash looked back and hit the floor laughing and pointing. Twilight leaned over to Tails as she looked behind him.

"Is that his special someone?" She asked curiously.

"No…But that's Amy's special someone." Tails chuckled as he walked on.

Twilight understood what he meant and chuckled herself as they began their long walk towards Ponyvill.
