I said that I would bring in a seventh Sonic character and I decided that I will not tell you… You must figure it out on your own… Or until his name is said in the story, however someone said I should build a little more of a story around the characters appearance instead of just bringing them in so I'll try to do just that. I also thought that I would bring in the actual element from the game transforming by night, so he will be normal during the day due to several requests sent to my E-mail… HOW DO YOU KEEP GETTING MY E-MAIL!? On a lighter note I'm bringing in Derpy for a scene and using both of the names given to her… Derpy and Ditzy.

Chapter 5

"Sonic?" I heard a voice ask. "Sonic…! Wake up…!" "C'mon you're almost there!" "Is…Is he going to be okay?" "I'm sure he'll be fine… Right?" "Of course… He's survived worse…" I slowly opened my eyes, and saw some of was around me, however something was different… I put a gloved hand on my head and quickly jerked it back. Gloves…? Was I…? "Sonic! You're awake!" I heard Twilight shout. "Hey… No need to be so loud…" I said barely awake. "What happened? Am I a…?" I started but was cut off by Shadow, who said "No. You're you again." Looking at him he was normal too.

I sat up rapidly and asked "What about Buzz-Boomer?" "We can't really explain that… Its head suddenly exploded and a mysterious bird like figure escaped…" Silver said, before Shadow finished "With a Chaos Emerald…" "WHAT!?" I shouted filled with shock. "We don't know who it would be… Would you?" Rarity asked me. "Someone does come to mind but… It couldn't be…" I muttered. I got out of bed and stretched my legs. "So this is what you normally look like?" Pinkie asked me. I nodded and asked "So what made me normal?" "When Buzz-Boomer was destroyed it sent out this wave of Chaos Energy." Metal Sonic explained.

I looked around the small room and asked "So where are we?" "In a hospital…" Twilight replied. "Well let's not stay here much longer than we need to." I said, heading for the exit. Once outside I noticed that we were in a small town. Colorful buildings surrounded me. "Huh. This place sure is different." I said, as I walked towards the edge of the forest. Suddenly a flash of gray was in my face and I was on the ground. I looked in front of me and saw a Pegasus, her eyes were yellow and crossed, and she got to her feet and looked at me before letting out a shriek of surprise. I jumped back and asked "Are you all right?" "Oh… I think so… What happened?" She asked me. "Well that's what I was going to ask you. I was just walking when you slammed into me." I replied.

"Oh! Sorry, I must have lost control looking for my muffin." She said quickly. "Hey don't worry about it." I replied with a smile. "So what's your name?" She asked me. "I'm Sonic! Sonic the Hedgehog!" I said taking my trademark pose. "How about you?" I asked. "Well my name is Ditzy Doo, but everyone calls me…" She had started but was cut off by Rainbow Dash who shouted "Derpy! You all right?" "Don't worry she's fine. Just a little collision." I said with a smile. "Derpy, huh?" I asked her. "It's more of a nickname…" She told me. "Well back home I go by a few different names too! The Blue Blur, the Speedster, and the Fastest Thing Alive!" I shouted with pride. "You're not going to get a major ego problem again are you?" Knuckles asked me. "C'mon Knuckles! I've matured a lot since then." I replied getting a laugh from him.

Rainbow Dash flew right in my face and shouted "JUST WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!?" I was startled and took a step back. "CLAIMING TO BE THE FASTEST THING ALIVE! THAT'S A LAUGH! EVERYPONY KNOWS THAT I'M THE FASTEST THING ALIVE!" She continued with her verbal assault. "HA! This is too good! You both honestly believe you're faster than me?" Shadow asked. "All right I know how we can settle this! A race!" I said. "You think you can beat ME in a race?" Rainbow Dash asked me, with a cocky grin. "Not just anywhere! Through there." I said pointing at the Everfree Forest. "The Everfree forest!? Are you insane!? There is no way Rainbow would…" Twilight had started but then stopped when she noticed Rainbow Dash not even two feet away from me. She spoke three words and pushed me at the same time "BRING… IT… ON!" I smiled and said "Today! Exactly noon! You, Me, and Shadow. I'll prove not only I'm the fastest hedgehog, but the fastest thing ever!" I replied.

-1 hour later-

I ran the length of the field again, stopping to take a drink of water. "Not to mention there are many more creatures that we don't know about!" Twilight said to me, trying to get me to forfeit the race. "Not a chance! I'm going to prove I'm faster, she needs her ego brought down a little." I replied. "That's what makes her… Her!" Twilight tried to reason. "Look I'm doing this race!" I replied when Knuckles ran over to me. "It's time! You ready to show them whose boss?" He asked me. I smiled before rushing past him. We were lined up, Shadow, Rainbow Dash then I. Fluttershy held the flag in her mouth, her eyes filled with nervousness, she swung the flag and we were off. I was in the lead, with Shadow behind me, and Rainbow Dash behind him. Shadow, was catching up, we were eventually neck and neck, until Rainbow Dash shot past us, leaving a rainbow trail.

"What's the matter? Can't keep up?" She teased. "So what if you're faster than me right now. I'm only going at a light jog!" I shouted before going to full speed. Shadow, realizing that he was being left behind in the dust, sped up too. The three of us where in a tie, racing, focusing on victory. Then I noticed the canyon ahead, feeling my heart race, I prepared to jump it. I leapt, and fell straight into it. Thinking quickly I was able to spin dash up the other side and get back into the race. I rushed past Shadow, and saw the finish line, Rainbow Dash was about five feet away. I bolted past her and leapt across the finish line, skidding as I landed. "HAH! I told you I was fastest!" I shouted at Rainbow Dash, who looked angry. "You… You must… Cheating! Yeah that's it! You cheated somehow didn't you?" She asked me. I smiled and said "I may not have cheated, but you were pretty fast… Wait… Where's Shadow?" Shadow trudged out of the forest with a Manticore biting his leg. Shadow turned and punched it a few times in the face, before it let go and ran back.

Shadow walked over to me, lifted me over his head, and threw me straight up. "NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!" I shouted, before Rainbow Dash grabbed me by the foot. "Very funny, now put me down, all the blood is rushing to me head!" I told her, she smiled and let go. "AW COME ON!" I yelled before face planting in the dirt. "Still think you're faster than me?" She asked. I thought about what would be the right thing to say before answering "Yeah."
