Chapter Two

The Sun was shining brightly over town Ponyville as Twilight Sparkle who was a student of Princess Celesta steeped outside of the giant Tree she calls Home but was also her Library. It has been a year since Twilight started living in Ponyville she was assigned by Princess Celesta to report about the magic of Friendship. Twilight's faithful assistant Spike the Baby Dragon was sitting on Twilight's back as they started to walk through Ponyville

"Come on Twi Applejack said she needed us at Sweet Apple Acres right away."Spike said excitedly

"Relax Spike we'll be there in no time."The Lavender Unicorn said with a smile as she gazed up at the sun smiling

"Wow I can't believe it's already been a year for us Spike."Twilight said as Spike nodded his head

"Yeah."The Dragon said with a smile as the two started heading towards Applejack's Farm in Sweet Apple Acres not knowing above the two one of Twilight's friends Rainbow Dash who always says she's the fastest Pegasus in Ponyville was above the two she quickly dashed towards the Barn landing on the ground looking around at her Friends

"Twilight and Spike are coming!"The Blue Pegasus as Pinkie Pie quickly jumped around with excitement

"Oh I can't wait till they see the Party we've set up for them!"The Pink Pony said as Applejack shook her head as she was finishing putting the Balloons up

"Ya might wanna tone down on the excitement Pinkie Pie."Applejack said as Rarity entered the Barn now along with Fluttershy

"I just can't wait to see the look on their faces when they see what I designed for them."Rarity said squealing with excitement

"I just..hope...they...show up..."Fluttershy said in her soft voice

"Relax Fluttershy they'll be here."Rainbow Dash said with a smile as Pinkie who was on look out quickly ran around the room

"THEY'RE COMING! THEY'RE COMING!"Pinkie said as the group began to quickly hide Applejack quickly shut the lights of to the Barn as Twilight and Spike made their way into the Barn

"Hello Applejack?...Hmm that's strange Spike AJ said she needed us to meet her here in the Barn but I don't see her anywhere."Twilight said as Spike got off Twilight looking around at the dark room

"SUPRISE!"The lights quickly flickered on as the Ponys jumped out of their spots looking at their Friends

"W...What's going on."Twilight said looking up at a Banner they had posted up

"Happy One Year Anniversery Twilight and Spike."Spike had said reading the Banner

"Hey it's a big day Twilight."Applejack said with a smile as Pinkie quickly clung to Twilight hugging her tightly

"Did ya see the Banner Twilight? Hu? Did Ya? Did Ya?"Pinkie said as Twilight smiled

"Thank you everyone...t...this is so nice of you..."Twilight said with a smile as Applejack's little Sister Applebloom followed by Rarity's Sister Sweetie Bell and their friend Scootaloo quickly ran into the room looking rather scared

"SIS!"The young Applebloom said as she quickly clings to her Sister as Sweetie-Bell did the same to Rarity and Scootaloo looked up at her hero Rainbow Dash who nodded her head as she comforted the young one

"Now hold on Sis what's got you so worked up."Applejack said running a hoof through her Sister's Hair

"You...you gotta come outside Sis!"Applebloom said looking at her brother with fear as Twilight walked over to her Friends Sister

"Calm down Applebloom now what's going on?"Twilight said smiling as Spike was looking outside through some of the Barn's Windows

"Um...T...Twilight."Spike said slowly as the others walked over to the window looking out the window. Rainbow Dash Pinkie and Rairty let out gasps as Fluttershy squeaked running behind a pile of hay hiding as Twilight walked over outside

"What in the wide world of Equestria is that thing?"Twilight said looking up into the sky as The Death Egg was above them all. The Death Egg's eyes lit up as they started to show a image of Dr Eggman for every one to see

"Greetings citizens of Equestria my name is Dr Ivo Robotnik but you may call me Dr Eggman. I have recently acquired some information and I am pleased to say that your land now belongs to the Eggman Empire now we can do this the easy way or my way. If you do not surrender to me the statue known as Discord I will lay waste to this peaceful land. If you choose to agree and hand Discord over then I promise some of you will be speared while the rest of you will submit to being legonized you have 4 Hours to reply and to show you I am not fooling around I'm as of this moment sending a group of my Egg-Swats those of you who put up a fight will be captured and legonized." The Image of Eggman disappeared as Twilight turned to the Girls

"Legonizing just what on earth us that?"Rairty said

"I dunno but it sounds really fun."Pinkie said

"Anyone that knows about wants Discord is bad news come on Girls Princess Celestia might need us."Twilight said looking at her friends looking at Fluttershy's head sticking out from her hiding spot. Twilight smiled looking at her friend

"It's okay Fluttershy you can stay here and watch the girls."

"Oh..T...T...Thank you Twilight."The girl said as Applebloom looked at her friends cheering."

Yay!"Applebloom said

"Fluttershy's gonna stay with us."The little folly's said jumping up and down as Twilight looked at Spike

"Spike stay here too if we need you we'll send you a message."

"You got it Twilight." Spike said as Rainbow Dash shot up from her spot sniffing the air

"Does anyone else smell that?"Rainbow Dash asked as she looked out the window seeing clouds of black smoke.

"No..."Rainbow Dash said in a small voice as Twilight looked out the Window eyes wide

"Ponyville...it's...Our Town...is..on Fire."Twilight said in a small voice

"Well it's about time you showed up."The Red Echdina known as Knuckles the Echdina said as Sonic entered the Hanger where they kept the Tornado as he was busy chomping down on his 6th Chili Dog looking at the group with a grin as he and Knuckles shook hands

"Hard to believe that Sonic and Knuckles used to be rivals."Tails said looking at Amy who nodded her head as she placed her bags in the back of The Tornado as Shadow was busy adjusting the gloves he was given to by Tails since The Chaos Emerald was hooked up to Tails's old Chaos Drive he invented years ago when he was using the Emerald he had found as a fuel for he the plane

"Anyway it looks like we're all here."Sonic said as a hand was placed on his shoulder Sonic turned around face to face with Nicole who was holding onto her handheld Computer Form

"Sonic...I wanna come with...Please I can't just sit and do nothing."Nicole said as Sonic nodded his head giving her a smile as he took the Computer as Nicole warped her arms around Sonic hugging her friend tightly before she vanished into the Handheld. Sonic turned back facong his Friends

"Alright guys lets get going Eggman's already gotten a head start on us."Somic said as he jumped onto the Tomado beside Shadow looking at him

"So how exactly is this gonna work?"Sonic said

"I fixes my Chaos Drive engine so the moment Shadow uses Chaos Control it will create a portal allowing us all to travel to Equestra."Tails said sitting in his seat placing his Goggles on

"And I'll follow by gliding once we get there."Knuckles said as Sonic nodded

"Alright guys lets do this."Sonic said looking at Shadow who was holding the Green Gem throwing it up into the air shouting

"CHAOS..."Shadow caught the Emerald in his hand now

"CONTROL!"Shadow said as the Emerald began to glow a bright Green as the Tornado roared to life quickly generating as a Portal started to generate in front of the group

"Equestria...here we come!"The Group shouted as they flew into the Portal as Knuckles quickly ran into the portal as it closes behind him

---

A Portal opened up I'm the Sky as the Tornado shot out of the sky followed by Knuckles who was gliding beside the Plane. Amy was the first person to point out The Death Egg which was in view

"Guys look!"Amy shouted as Knuckles was on top of the Tornado with Sonic and Shadow now.

Sonic looked at the Death Egg holding onto Nicole in his hand tightly

"Nicole see if you can hack Eggman's Transmission and his Egg Net we need to find out what he's up to and what ever info he has on Equestria."Sonic said as Nicole's voice came from the screen

"I'm on it Sonic it will take a while I'm afraid to say that he's changed the Codes on me."Nicole said

"Alright well let me know once you finish Nicole."Sonic said putting the Handheld back in his backpack

"Sonic look!"Tails said pointing to the burnt town of Ponyvile as everyone's eyes went wide looking at the chaos and destruction that Eggman already caused

"So what's the plain?"Knuckles said

"Amy you, Shadow and Knuckles stay here with Tails and keep a good distance from The Death Egg, I'm gonna head down to this town here and see if I can find anyone that needs my help. If we're lucky maybe Eggman hasn't started rounding people up for Legionizing ."Sonic had said as he looked at the group

"Just be careful Sonic we don't know what really gonna happen here."Tails said from his spot

"Don't worry Tails I'll be fine. If I have to I'll meet up with you guy later."Sonic said with a smirk as Shadow grabbed his arm

"I'm coming to Sonic, If it's a chance to get back at The Doctor than count me in."Shadow said as Sonic nodded his head as Amy blew her crush a kiss as both Sonic and Shadow jumped off the Tornado spin dashing down to the ground as The Tornado flew off after The Death Egg

Meanwhile back at Applejack's Barn

Fluttershy was pacing around the room looking scared and worried about Twilight and her friends, they had gotten a message from Princess Celestia that they were needed at the Castle right away but Fluttershy being the scared one had offered to stay behind and look after the young folly's even though she had forgot that Twilight had already said she could. Spike was sitting on a box reading a book to Applebloom and her friends when they heard a crash outside

"What was that?"Applebloom had said getting up from her spot

"I dunno but maybe we should check it out!"Sweetie-Bell had said as Scootaloo nodded her head

"YEAH!"Scootaloo said

"Girls we're suposed to stay here until the others get back."Fluttershy said

"But they've been gone for hours Fluttershy and I'm getting worried about my Sis."Applebloom said

"Yeah me too"Sweetie-Bell added in

"I know you are worried you two but Twilight promised they'd all be back soon."Spike said trying to calm the two down

"Yeah I know Spike but if anything happens to Rainbow Dash and I'm gonna be really mad."Scootaloo said as the follys nodded their heads looking at Fluttershy as they ran to their friend hugging her tightly trying to calm her down

"T...T..Thanks Girls...I...just...hope...Ponyville's okay...Rainbow...took..off trying to put the fires out but she still isn't back yet."Fluttershy had said

"I'm sure she's fine Fluttershy knowing RD she's probably gone back to check if Cloudsdale needs her assistance."Spike said as he burps out a green fire as a scroll appeared in the fire. Spike quickly opened it up reading

Spike

I Hope this gets to you in time all of Equestria is in grave danger, This Dr Eggman person attacked the Castle and stole Discord's Statue. The Princess has requested that we wait here until it's safe to return to Ponyville once we return we will come back for you guys. The Princess has allowed those who survive his wrath safe shelter at the Castle. Tell Applebloom and Sweetie-Bell that Rairty and Applejack are okay and Rainbow Dash is assisting the Wonderbolts in an attempt to retrieve the Statue. But above all if anything happens to us I know you and Fluttershy will figure out a way to help. Be safe and be careful

Love

Twilight

"Well at least we know that they're all okay and Rainbow's helping her favorite idols out so thats good."Spike said as The Girls nodded their heads as they heard a loud crash coming from outside

"What...w..was that!"Fluttershy had said as a group of Dr Eggman's Egg-Swats busted through the Wall

"Spike take the girls and hide!"Fluttershy said quickly looking at the Purple Dragon

"We could hide out in Sis's Apple Celler"Applebloom said as she quickly ran to a door opening it up

"Girls stay in there and don't come out till I say so."Fluttershy said as the Girls quickly ran into the celler
leaving Fluttershy to face the Egg-Swats

"Uh...I...don't know who...or...what..you..are but you destroyed my Friend's Barn and My Home and I will not let you get away with it."Fluttershy said sounding like her usual self agian as the Egg-Swats marched closer to the young Pony

"N...No..S...S...Stay...B...Back...HELP TWILIGHT!"Fluttershy called out in fear as a Blue and Black Blur spin dashed through the Egg-Swats as Fluttershy opened her eyes up standing in front of the Pegasus were Sonic and Shadow

"Excuse me but are you okay?"Sonic said as the yellow Pegasus slowly fainted to the ground
