HEY ALL! I finished my Starcraft/MLP crossover, it is only two chapters long though. I only got one OC for it! I would like to thank werewolf99 who gave me an awesome OC to use for it! Now then on with the story! I try to explain to the best of my knowledge of how Sonic went through his first transformation.

Chapter 7

"So Sonic? You want to tell us how this happened to you?" Knuckles asked me as we walked through the crisp evening air. "I actually thought you guys would have asked sooner. It all started when the planet split. I was fighting Eggman, who trapped me and used some sort of machine to drain the Chaos Emeralds of their power, while causing me extreme pain. He was trying to unleash some evil ancient deity… Dark Gaia. Luckily it was awoken prematurely and still sleeping. If Dark Gaia had all of its energy with it during its sleeping form it would have destroyed itself, causing the planet to fix again, and the cycle to start over. It gave some of that energy to me, but I was able to fight the evil and keep control of myself." I explained.

"And where was I when all this happened?" Knuckles asked me. "I don't know! Maybe on Angel Island… By the way how is your search coming?" I asked. "I found about… Three shards of the Master Emerald." Knuckles replied. Spike ran up to us and started frantically waving his arms and shouting in gibberish. "Spike! Calm down!" I said grabbing his shoulders and shaking him. "Yeah, tell us what's wrong." Knuckles calmly said. "It's Twilight! She and Fluttershy went out hours ago and hadn't come back!" Spike shouted at us. I sighed before asking "Why is it that you always bring me bad news? I would like some good news every once in a while!" I replied, before looking at Knuckles and saying "Let's go. You, me, and Spike." "Don't think you're leaving me out of this!" I heard Rainbow Dash shout. "All right then… You, me, Spike, and Rainbow Dash. If Eggman has them we want a smaller group so we won't be detected as easily." I said before we rushed off.

-1 Hour Later-

"You're sure they went this way?" I asked Spike, looking at the dark, dingy cave. "Yes." Spike replied before I walked in and saw a pair of large red eyes. Fire was shot at me before I exited the cave covered in ash. "Maybe it was that way…" Spike muttered. I shook it off and turned to face the baby dragon. "You are so lucky you're one of my friends…" I muttered. I looked around and noticed something… "Guys! I think I found their trail!" I shouted having discovered hoof prints. "Great job Sonic!" Spike said to me. We followed them and they lead to the foot of a cliff. "They go this way… But then they just end…" I said, before starting to think. I heard a loud crash and saw that the wall that was there was gone. "Knuckles… Did you just start punching things again?" I asked. Knuckles looked at me and smirked before replying "Maybe I did, maybe I didn't."

We traveled inside the newfound path and what I saw horrified me. A Badnik factory, larger than any other one I had seen. They hadn't come here willingly they were forced to! The halls were strangely unguarded, the only sound was our feet (Hooves in Rainbow Dash's case) hitting the metal floor. "Man this place is abandoned… Not even the machines are making Badniks…" I muttered, before several lights turned on around us. I looked back and noticed the sun rising, the light inside was warm… Almost like sunlight… A yellowish glow enveloped me before I returned to normal.

We moved on until we found a split in the path… The left tunnel was exceptionally bright, the right was as dark as night. "All right, were gonna split up! Knuckles! You and Rainbow Dash go down the right tunnel, while Spike and I go down the left." I told them. "Wait! We do we get the dark tunnel? I think Knuckles and I should get the bright one!" Rainbow Dash shouted. "All right. I was just giving out suggestions…" I replied nervously. Looking down the dark tunnel I felt my quills stiff up. I looked to see Knuckles and Rainbow Dash about halfway down their tunnel.

"Is something wrong Sonic?" Spike asked me. "I just got a bad feeling about this tunnel is all…" I replied before stepping into the darkness. I waited for the transformation but it never came. "Huh? I looked around suddenly noticing the bright tunnel. "Must have some sort of trick… Maybe a hologram… An illusion of some sort…?" I asked trying to wrap my head around this. "Whatever it is I'm just glad we won't be wandering around in the dark." Spike said before we continued on.

"So Sonic… I was wondering something… Why is it that you seem to clam up when you and Twilight are alone?" Spike asked me. "Uh… I… I don't know what you're talking about…" I tried to avoid the question. "Sonic, anyone with eyes could see it… Maybe… No… Sonic do you…" "Not now!" "Like…" "Spike I mean it!" "Her…" Spike finished. I stopped before looking at him. "Look you have to promise not to tell anyone… Especially not Twilight! Got it…?" I asked him. Spike nodded before we continued on. "Man… This place sure is one heck of a maze…" I commented before stepping on something. I looked down and saw a Badnik, broken, beaten, and chewed up.

"Looks like this thing took a beating…" Spike said, going to poke the Badnik. I grabbed his hand and said "We don't know if it's been fully destroyed… Something could still be working in there…" We moved on until I heard Twilight's voice… "Let us go! Sonic will come and teach you a lesson!" I heard a soft whimpering as well. "I don't think Sonic would be of any help… Not with my greatest invention here to help me…" I heard Eggman say cockily. I rushed in with Spike on my back and saw an empty room… A tape recorder on the floor. "Ah Sonic… If you're hearing this message than you've fallen right into my trap!" The recording played. Suddenly the exits were closed off by large metal doors.

"Knowing you, you had a little help to get in here didn't you, Hedgehog? Well this will be both your doom! Behold! My latest, and greatest creation! The Egg Shark!" Suddenly the floor disappeared dropping me and Spike into a large pool of water. There was a platform floating in the center of the round chamber, then one crucial came to mind… I have no idea how to swim… I started flailing my arms and legs while shouting in terror. Spike managed to help me get to the platform where he asked "Sonic, what happened!? You sunk like a rock!" I coughed spitting water onto the metal. "That's what happens when don't know how to swim…" I replied as I stood up. I heard screaming as Twilight landed in my arms. Just as I set her down Fluttershy landed in them. I set her down, and a large metal hatch opened releasing what I presumed to be the Egg Shark, which was a large robotic shark… "A robot shark? I think I saw this in a movie or two…" I said, before the beat lunged at us, tilting the platform.

I slid down towards the mechanical menace's gnashing metallic teeth. I managed to slide past the teeth, and I found myself near its power source: A Chaos Emerald. When it shut its jaws I realized something it was airtight, even they were designed to keep out all forms of liquid. The generator holding the Emerald wasn't waterproof. It also meant that I had limited oxygen while in here. I managed to crawl my way to its mouth and felt it lunge at the platform again, as soon as it open its mouth I leapt out. I noticed a loose chunk of metal on the platform and ripped it off, I turned to face the Egg Shark which was swimming again. It lunged at me and I shoved the chunk of metal in between its jaws, wedging them open. It quickly went back under the water and after a series of quick jerks it ceased moving. I jumped onto its back and found a hatch, opening it I reached inside and removed the Chaos Emerald. "All right, I'm going to try something… It might not work but it would at least get us out of this hole…" I said jumping back over to the others. "Everyone get close…" I instructed.

Once everyone was close to me I concentrated and shouted "Chaos… CONTROL!" In a bright flash of green light we were standing just outside the entrance of the hole. "Sonic? Did you find them?" I heard Knuckles shout from a farther down hall. I didn't respond, I was too tired… Fighting a giant robot shark and using Chaos Control isn't easy. "Sonic?" I heard Knuckles ask, much closer. "Sonic! You found them!" Rainbow dash shouted. I smiled and weakly replied "Yeah… Let's… Let's just… Get out of here…" I started walking and nearly fell over. Spike had helped me straighten up, "Listen Sonic… Maybe you should rest a bit… Doing that… Thing… Must have really drained your energy…" Spike said. "No… We have to get out… Before Eggman… Comes back…" I said before trying to walk again.

"Then at least let us help you." Twilight said her voice full of concern. "All right… I could probably… Use it…" Twilight and Knuckles helped me leave the factory, but one thing kept bugging me… That single Badnik that Spike and I saw… What did that to it…?
