Chapter 2

Ponies stared at me as I moved through the large city of Canterlot. We eventually made our way into the castle, where we found Shadow, he was different looking. He looked like how I looked now, only with his colors. "Wow, you know Shadow this is a big improvement!" I shouted at him. "SHUT YOUR MOUTH!" He shouted at me. "I could but I don't want to… Seriously, this IS a big improvement!" I replied. "FAKER, JUST GET ME OUT OF HERE!" He shouted at me. "First you have to tell me what you did." I said to him. "I'LL GUT YOU LIKE A FISH!" Shadow shouted at me. "So you don't want me to get you out of here then?" I asked, causing him to look worried. "Y-Y-You wouldn't do that! You're a hero! You have to help me!" He shouted. "Heroes make sure that the criminals get locked up. Tell me what you did and I'll see what I can do." I said to him.

"I saw a one of our special jewels! I sort of had to assault someone to get it… Snotty little bitch needed to have a few teeth knocked out anyway. What was her name…? When I asked for it she told me this long boring story about how her father is a big and important pony… Her name… Diamond Tiara I think." Shadow said, explaining the situation. "You assaulted Diamond Tiara!?" Twilight asked, sounding worried. "If her father wants you in here, you'll stay in here! He's one of the richest ponies in Equestria!" Twilight shouted at Shadow. "There has to be some way to convince her father to let her out." I said, turning to face Twilight. "Could you take me to her?" I ask, getting an annoyed sigh. "I guess… She may not like it…" Twilight said, I smiled and said "Thanks Twilight, and Shadow, I'll take that gem." Shadow looked angry but handed it over to me. It was a bright red emerald.

Twilight started to lead me to Diamond Tiara's home, where we were greeted at the front door by the little brat herself. "Twilight? Still looking like a slob I see." She said to Twilight. "EW! Who's this fuzzy freak!? HE needs a serious hair cut!" She shouted, as soon as I was noticed. "Look we came here for a reason… My friend, you may know him… Shadow…" I had started but was cut off by her. "HIM!? He's your friend? What are you here to try and attack me too?" She asked. "N-NO! I just want to know what it'll take to get you to let him out." I said. She noticed the gem in my hand said "I'll take my beautiful gem back." I tossed it in the air and caught it. "Sorry kid, no can do. This baby doesn't belong to you." I replied. "I want it! I ALWAYS get what I want!" Diamond Tiara shouted at me. "Well you CAN'T have it!" I shouted back. "Look, how about I give you this gem?" I ask, pulling out a regular sapphire of a larger size. Her eyes lit up as she grabbed the gem and shouted "DEAL!" She ran inside before coming out ten minutes later, she said "It's all figured out! Not only do I have a new gem, but also Shadow's never getting out of there!" "WHAT?! YOU LITTLE BRAT! I THOUGHT WE HAD A DEAL!" I shouted at her, resisting the urge to strangle her.

"Yeah, about that… I lied! You really think I would let someone like THAT go?" She asked me. "Well then… Maybe I should take my gem back!" I shouted. "Not a chance!" She shouted at me. Before I could do anything we heard someone shout from inside the building "HEY! GET BACK HERE!" I saw a familiar robot, stomping his way through the home. "Primary directive activated… Destroy Sonic the Hedgehog." Omega bellowed as he noticed me. His hands retracted and were replaced with a pair of rotating flame turrets. "Oh crap…" I muttered before leaping out of the way of two columns of fire. Omega stomped outside, following me. "DESTROY!" Omega shouted, nearly hitting me with the flame. I grabbed two fist sized rocks and threw them at the turrets. I heard the all too familiar sound of metal crunching. We both looked at the turrets to see they were bent out of place, he retracted them and his hands reappeared. "Let's do this!" I shouted, stretching out my arm grabbing him by the shoulders, I slammed him into the street, before he grabbed onto my wrists and copied the attack. I grabbed onto one of his hands and ripped it out, causing sparks to fly from his wrist.

I jumped behind Omega and flipped open a panel on his back. I reached in a pulled out his power source a small motor. He instantly powered down, causing him to leave a large crack in the street. I noticed that a single piece of hard drive was popped out of place. I fixed it and put the motor back in, much to the alarm of several ponies. Omega powered back on and he stood up, examining his surroundings. "Where am I?" He asked, he turned and saw me. "Sonic… What has happened to you? Where are we?" I laughed before saying "Good to have yah back buddy." "Back? Where have I been? Why am I damaged?" He asked me. "You went back to fighting for Egg Man, but I noticed that one of your internal machine thingies was out of place so I popped it back in." I replied. "I… Fought for… Egg Man…?" He asked, sounding disappointed in himself. "Hey now, don't worry. I fixed yah up… Well… Not your hand or your turrets but I got you back to normal!" I exclaimed.

"Thank you… Where are we?" He asked me again. "Equestria." I replied. "Where are G.U.N. agents Shadow and Rouge?" He asked me. "Well, Shadow's in jail and I don't know where Rouge is." I replied. "Beginning repairs…" He said as his mechanical body started to repair itself. "Look, Diamond Tiara. We need to let Shadow out." I said to her. "Sonic… Allow me… You are making a serious mistake. Keeping a G.U.N Agent from doing his duty of protecting those who are innocent. G.U.N Agents keep the peace between others…" Omega had started. "He assaulted a little kid…" I said to him. "… He what…?" Omega asked me. "He assaulted this little kid." I said to him. "If this is some form of joke it is not funny." Omega said. "Yeah… He really assaulted a little kid… This little kid…" I replied. Omega groaned in anger. "Look without Shadow around, he'll be in a state of uncontrolled anger in which me might rip this city apart brick by brick." I said, she sighed before walking inside. She walked out another ten minutes later and said "He can go. Only because I don't want this city to be destroyed. It's where all my stuff is!" I smiled and Twilight, Omega and I walked away.

"Don't worry, we heard that Shadow is to be let go immediately." Celestia said as soon as we made it inside. Shadow walked out soon and noticed Omega. "Omega? What are you doing here?" He asked. "I do not know. I was back home, then I was on the ground, Sonic helping me up. He said one of my circuits popped out of place. He popped it back in and then I was normal." Omega explained. "Sonic, we need to speak about your dream." Luna said to me. "Sure… Well like I said it involved Discord and Egg Man." At the mention of Egg Man, Omega suddenly started looking around with his gun turrets out. "Egg Man! Where is he?" Omega asked. "No, we're talking about a dream I had." I explained, which got Omega to calm down. He opened up a chest compartment and pulled out what looked like a second of his motor, he started fiddling with it. "What's that for Omega?" Shadow asked. "I am planning on rebuilding E-102 Y codename: Gamma." He replied.

"I have copied the program which gave him his free will and his memories onto this flash drive. I plan to make him the exact way he once was." Omega continued. "Now then about my dream. If Egg Man really is here he won't be able to make his robotic army without a large supply of small woodland critters." I said. "FLUTTERSHY!" Twilight gasped before running out of the castle. "Come on guys!" I shouted before running after her. Shadow and Omega followed me.

We caught up with Twilight who was panting for breath, near town. We heard a scream, and rushed over to see Egg Man hovering above Fluttershy's home. "Just give up! I'll get those animals one way or another!" He shouted. Badniks surrounded her, until one exploded releasing a small blue bird. "Back away from the critters!" A familiar voice shouted. A red echidna was standing next to Fluttershy, who seemed frightened about the new arrival. Knuckles rushed over to the rest of the Badniks and defeated them. "Knuckles! You little pest!" Egg Man shouted. Several Buzz Bombers started to swarm the red echidna, followed by several Crabmeats, and Caterkillers. "Knuckles!" I shouted, ramming into one of the Caterkillers. "Sonic?" Knuckles asked me. "Hedgehog… You got my message I presume?" Egg Man asked. "You mean that dream?" I asked. "Yes, I am here to conquer Equestria! You can't stop me! Not this time! I'm working with someone who has inside information in this world!" He shouted, moving out of the way revealing Discord. "Hello again Sonic! Shadow!" He exclaimed. "Shadow, by the way, did you forget to tell them about our little meeting?" Discord asked.

"Shadow? What is he talking about?" I asked. "Discord is the reason I look like this! He threw some sort of dust in my face and then I turned into this!" Shadow shouted leaping at Discord, who simply disappeared in a cloud of smoke and reappeared behind Shadow. Discord made a feather come out of nowhere and attempted to tickle Shadow, which ended with him getting punched in the face. Discord was shocked from the blow, which caused him to plummet to the ground below. Discord screamed in terror as he fell the insane distance of… Two feet.

"That was a lot longer in my head." Discord said as he turned face us. I jumped grabbing onto Egg Man's machine, fighting against him. I grabbed onto a loose panel and ripped it off, I then pulled out the machine's power source a light blue gem. I landed, and the machine exploded, the smoke oddly resembled his face. I heard hooves and saw the rest of Twilight's friends rushed over. "You all right?" Knuckles asked Fluttershy, he held out his hand and helped her up. Their eyes met and Fluttershy blushed. "Sonic! Is everything… OH!" Rarity had started but stopped when she saw the two gems I was holding. "Where in Equestria did you find such stupendous gems?!" She asked me. "These? They come in a set of seven. Only they're filled with a rare mystical energy, known back home as Chaos Energy." I explained, but as soon as I said the word Chaos they all gasped. "Is something wrong?" Shadow asked. "Chaos? How can you hold such gems?! Chaos is a very bad thing! It's so mysterious and dangerous." Rainbow Dash shouted. "If you do not mind my asking, what is that place across from the small cottage?" Omega asked. "Sonic… Who is this?" Rarity asked. "I am E-123 Y codename: Omega." Omega answered before I could say anything. "This is Shadow, my biggest rival!" I said, before Twilight went to answer Omega's question. "HEY! WHAT AM I? CHOPPED LIVER!?" Knuckles asked. "Oh right! This is one of my best friends Knuckles! He's helped me beat Egg Man hundreds of times." I said.

"Well, now for E-123…" Twilight had started but was cut off by Shadow "Just call him Omega." Twilight looked irritated and started again. "Now for OMEGA'S question. That is the Everfree forest. It's a creepy place." "The clouds move on their own!" Rainbow Dash shouted. "And the animals take care of themselves." Fluttershy muttered. "And the plants grow on their own!" Applejack shouted. "That doesn't sound very different from back home. The plants grow on their own, the clouds move by themselves, and MOST of the animals care for themselves. Minus the exception of house plants, and house pets." Knuckles said.

"Your home is crazy!" Rainbow Dash shouted. "Well this place is pretty crazy! I mean talking horses? Magical creatures? What part of that isn't crazy!?" Knuckles exclaimed. Rainbow Dash pushed him down, he grabbed onto her leg and pulled her down. "Don't push me!" Knuckles shouted. "Why shouldn't I mole?" Rainbow Dash asked. "What did you just call me?" Knuckles asked. "MOLE!" Rainbow Dash shouted. "I'm sorry, I don't think I heard you. Could you repeat that?" Knuckles asked. "Want me to spell it out for you? M-O-L-E MOLE!" Rainbow yelled, she was then almost punched in the jaw by Knuckles. "Knuckles! I can understand you being angry but there is no need to punch her with your GIANT FUCKING FIST OF DOOM!" I shouted. "Hey watch your FUCKING LANGUAGE!" He shouted back.

Omega knocked our heads together, making us both wince in pain. "What the hell Omega?!" I asked. "You both need to calm down. You were both in danger of fighting each other." Omega said. I growled before storming off. "Sonic wait!" Twilight shouted, chasing after me. Once she caught up I stopped walking. "What's his deal?" She asked me. "Knuckles? He doesn't really like people that much. More of a lone wolf… I was like that too once, but then I met my other best friend. I think it's because he grew up alone. Trapped on an island that floated in the sky. He protects a large gem, known as the Master Emerald. Without it, the Chaos Emeralds would be out of control." I explained. "So he's an orphan?" Twilight asked. "I guess you could say that." I replied. We moved back towards the group to see Knuckles running from a herd of rabbits. "No, no, no, no, no, no, no!" He shouted before the rabbits tackled him.

"What the…?" Twilight was about to ask until she noticed he was laughing. "All right get off me." Knuckles said, as the little animals crawled off. "Knuckles always did have a soft spot for critters." I said, as the rabbits crowded around him. "Hey Twilight? You think you know something that could fix me?" I asked. "I might know a few spells." She responded, before her horn began to glow. I soon felt a warm light fill my body. There was a bright flash and I was the same as I was. "Looks like it didn't work…" I commented. Twilight looked sad but I smiled and said "We'll figure it out later! I believe that if all of us work together, we can solve this puzzle!" Everyone smiled before a loud crash was heard from the Everfree forest.
