Celestia's POV

We watched the group depart, and hear Sonic and Rainbow Dash talk about Sonic's adventure in Camelot. "That was a rather strange visit." I said.

"I agree, sister." Luna agreed. We heard a shout, and a flash.

"Chaos Control!"

"Must be Sonic." I said. "Now that that's out of the way, let's settle down for a bit." Nope. Not happening yet. We heard the door open, to find that two familiar, yet at the same time, unfamiliar alicorns.

"Ah, thou must be our future selves." Said Classic Luna.

"Is that really what our manes will look like?" Asked Classic Celestia. (*1)

"Yes. Although, I don't remember how they became like this. A few years with a lot of evil and royal duties feels like a long time, you know."

"Dost thou know where the Bearers of the Elements of Harmony are?" Asked Classic Luna.

"Sorry, you just missed your ride. They went towards the Everfree Forest." I replied.

"Thank you, um, me?" Classic Celestia teleported away.

"Aaand Tia forgot me." Classic Luna teleported.

"Well then." Said Luna.

Chapter 6 Part 2: Green Forest and City Escape (The two-in-one special!)

Music: Kokiri Forest Re-orchestrated - LoZ Ocarina of Time + The Garden - Super Mario Galaxy

Sonic's POV

We landed in-front of the Everfree Forest. "Okay. Shall we get moving?" I asked.

"Ooh, I can hear the animals. Makes me think of Fluttershy."

"All the more reason to get moving." Said Rainbow. "Although, it is darker then last time I was here." We started to walk in.

"Man, I totally forgot how dark this place is." Twilight said, creating light with magic. Suddenly, it got really dark!

"Hey, why did you turn off your light?"

"I didn't. There is a fog in the way!" The fog went away, to show us in a completely different area, even though we didn't move.

"This... this looks like Frog Jungle-" I was interrupted by a radio.

"Shadow! What are you doing? Hurry up and get back here right now before the island blows up with you on it!"

Music: Green Forest - Sonic Adventure 2

"Blows up!?" Rainbow nearly shouted.

"Yup. This is Green Forest. We've got 8 minutes to get out of here!" Pinkie said.

"Not gonna question how you know that!" I said as I sped off, Pinkie keeping up somehow.

I spin-dashed down a slope. I got to the bottom, and got attacked by 3 robots. I used a spring to get out of there. I came to a loop with no roof, and jumped to a vine to the upper level. There was another slope, followed by a loop. I came to a cave, and found the Ancient Light upgrade. I exited the cave to find another slide, with Pinkie curled up into a ball riding down it. I did the same, and I came to a spring. I grabbed onto the vine Pinkie grabbed onto, and we spun around the tree.

"This place is fun! Too bad it's gonna get blown up..." Pinkie groaned.

We came to a part with floating blocks. I homing-attacked a spring to get to the higher lever, and got an electric shield. I went up the loop, and got to another spring section.

Getting past that, I went down another slide/slope. "Why are there so many slides?" Pinkie wondered out-loud. We got to the end of that, to go bungee jumping with a vine. Then, we went down, you guessed it, a slide. Pinkie still somehow keeping up. We jumped onto a vine, swung around the tree, to land on a crumbling section.

"Pinkie!" I grabbed her hoof before she fell, and threw her up there.

"This is the end!" Pinkie exclaimed as I bounced my way up. There was a statue of Cream and her Chao (Cheese) there. "Come on, we still got 5 minutes left! Use that Chaos Control to get back to the start, or something!"

I ran towards Pinkie, held out a Chaos Emerald, and shouted "Chaos Control!"

We landed back at the start. Seems like we are the first ones here. I looked to my left, to find the Rainbows and Classic Twilight coming back with Spike. I heard a noise to my right, to find everybody else with Fluttershy.

"All right! This looks like everybody. Hold on tight! Chaos Control!"

"Chaos Control!"

---

We appeared... not where I wanted to go.

"Where are we?" Asked Twilight.

"Sigma-Alpha 2 having south due over the city. We're en route, everything's a go."

"Oh. No." I said.

"Shadow?" Tails asked.

"Look what you di-" Classic Rainbow got in Shadow's face.

"Shh! Keep it down! There are others on this vehicle." Whispered Tails.

"This is control tower. We have you on radar. Report cargo status of captured hedgehog and ponies on board, over!"

"What do you mean by 'oh no'?" Whispered Classic Tails.

"That's a 10-4. Cargo secured on board and... What!?"

"Sorry didn't copy that, over!"

"You may think I'm crazy, but we have to jump off." I said, grabbing a skateboard and running out of the room.

"The hedgehog is gone, he's taken everyone on board and..."

"What's wrong? Come in, over!"

"What in the world!?"

I jumped out of the helicopter.

"Freeze! What do you think your doing!? Get that hedgehog!"

"Talk about low budget flights! No food or movies... I'm out of here! I like running better!" I said, falling off the helicopter. "Yeah!"

Rainbow looked at Twilight. "Well? We gotta get off here somehow." Rainbow said as she jumped off.

Music: Gala Escape (aka City Escape at the Gala) 0:00 - 2:36 - KingSpartaX37

I landed, and started to skateboard my way through town. I reached a ramp, and did some tricks as I soared through the air. Rainbow Dash caught up with me, using her wings to propel herself. We both jumped off a ramp, and turned a corner.

I went the high way, and managed to grind against a cord for the internet. I kept grinding, and dang, it was a long cord. I made it to the bottom, where we could no longer use the skateboards... and heard someone.

"Pinkie? Someone? Where are you?" Sounds familiar. Rainbow, Pinkie Pie's, Classic Rainbow, and Shadow, in that order, landed in my area.

"Who was that?" Asked Shadow.

"I don't know." I replied. Classic Sonic, Twilight's, Tails's, Knuckles and the statues of Spike, Fluttershy, Cream and her chao landed in that order. "You know, I haven't had so many friends on one adventure be with me at the same time before. Reminds me of a song." I commented.

"What song?" Asked Twilight.

"It has a strange name, but it's a good song. The name is 'We Can'. You wanna hear it?"

"Oh boy..." Muttered Shadow.

"Sure!"
"Yeah!"
"Yes please."

"Okay. Let's sing it on the way. Hit it, boys!" Tails grabbed a guitar and Knuckles grabbed a portable drum set out of hammer-space.

Random song: We Can - Sonic Heroes

Singer: Sonic
Background Singer: Both Pinkie Pies

Verse 1

(Whoo! Alright! Oooh yeeah!)

Look out, down below. Sonic is on the go.
Can't stop this party 'till we save the world.

This time we're not alone. We've got some friends along.
And as a team we can become even stronger.

Together we can overcome all the odds.
It's never as hard as it seems.
Everyone can do something special.
The secret is sharing your dreams.

(Yeah!)

Everyone was smiling, save for Shadow, who was frowning in annoyance. He heard a voice, and his ears perked up. Nobody else heard it. We made it to a park.

Chorus 1

We can make it, if we all stick together.
We won't give up, not ever.
And everything's gonna be alright.

We all bring out the best things in each-other.
Together we are stronger then anyone can be on their own.
So much better then being alone.

We made it to a loop, where the end just goes straight down.

Verse 2

Sonic's in the lead, giving us greater speed. (I ran around.)
Tails keeps us flying high to save the trouble. (Tails flew above the ground for a second.)
Add Knuckles by our side, makes things a safer ride. (Knuckles used a free hand to punch.)
We'll save the world and teach that Eggman a lesson!

We ran down the street, and the ponies were reminded of Manehatten. Only more... advanced.

Together we can overcome all the odds.
It's never as hard as it seems.
Everyone can do something special.
The secret is sharing your dreams.

(Ohhh! Yeah!)

We reached across the rooftops.

Chorus 2

We can make it if we all stick together.
We won't split up, not ever.
It's easier with friends by my side.

We all bring out the best things in each-other.
Together we are stronger then anyone else could be on their own.
So much better then being alone. Better than alone!

We made it to some stairs, and stayed still.

(Instrumental)

Verse 3

And together we can overcome all the odds.
It's never as hard as it seems.

(Yeeeaaaah!)

Chorus 3 (Everybody but Shadow sings.)

We can make it, if we all stick together.
We won't give up not ever.
And everything's gonna be alright.

We all bring out the best things in each-other.
Together we are stronger than anyone else could be on their own.

Can't stop us cuz together we are strong.

(Time to crack that Eggman wide open. Yeah, let's party!)

Music: Gala Escape 0:00 - 2:36 - KingSpartaX37

Rainbow happily sighed. "That was good."

"I needed that." I smiled.

"Say, why did the song include you three?" Asked Twilight.

"I don't know. I guess whoever made it were inspired by us." Tails replied.

"I heard a voice earlier. Before the singing. I want to find him." Shadow said. We ran up the stairs, and I saw a launcher platform, getting me deja vu. "Oh. no. Oh no. Oh no no no no. Run to the sides, quick!"

"Why?"

"You'll see. Rainbow Dashs and Shadow, since you are fast, you can still come with me."

"Hmph. Fine." We ran forward, and suddenly, a giant truck crashed through!

Music: Gala Escape 2:55 - 4:26

"Whoa!" Everybody else shouted.

"That's why." I shouted.

"Just keep boosting!" Shadow shouted as we boosted, save for Rainbows, who can't do that. I looked behind me, and saw 3 chainsaws sprout up.

"That thing's got chainsaws now!?" I shouted over the air pressure. We sidestepped to avoid the middle one. We all went to the left, and took three right turns.

"Whoever is driving this thing is crazy!" Shouted Classic Rainbow Dash.

We went to the middle to avoid one chainsaw.

Then to the left.

We jumped over a building, but the driver drove right through.

"The driver is also desperate!" Shouted Modern Rainbow.

We took 3 drops, and a turn to the left. There was a launcher platform, and Shadow and I ran on the wall. I grinned, and looked behind me, but...

"This thing has rockets!?" I shouted at an unbelievably high voice, sounding like the Royal Canterlot Voice. My heart was beating fast, which is not normal.

"Desperate is an understatement!" Shouted Classic Rainbow. We flew/ran away, and it was losing speed. The driver made a desperate move, and floored that pedal. It wasn't fast enough, and it crashed into the buildings and blew up. The Rainbows were hyperventilating.

Music: Gala Escape 0:00 - 2:55

"What got them so angry at you?" Asked Modern Rainbow.

"Well, they thought I was this faker here," I pointed at Shadow, who just crossed his arms, "because he was doing crimes at that time. Yes, that's why we were in that helicopter."

"Sorry, I lost you at heli." Said Modern Rainbow.

"Helicopter. One of our flying transportation here on Earth."

"Sonic, you have any Chaos Emeralds?" Shadow asked.

"Yeah." I said, handing him three.

"I'll teleport back to before that truck came. If they are still there, I can teleport all of us back here. Chaos Control!" With that, he was gone. Modern Rainbow was still hyperventilating.

"Hello?" Said that voice from earlier. I turned around to find a familiar hedgehog.

"Hello Quintus!" I said. (This is the only other OC coming in this story!)

"Where are we?"

"We're in the city."

"No, I mean, which city is this?"

"I don't know. But, do you even know our predicament right now?"

"Why there are two Rainbow Dashs, while one is hyperventilating, no."

"We can explain later."

"Hey, shouldn't there be a portal appearing?" My eyes shrunk at Classic Rainbow Dash's words. Looks like we are stuck here, unless Tails still has that Warp Ring... (*2)

I walked over to two statues, one of Rouge, and the other, you guessed it, Rarity.

"-trol!" Shadow and the gang appeared.

"We have a bit of a problem. There is no portal appearing. Tails, do you still have that Warp Ring on you?"

"Yeah, I do."

I sighed in relief. "Thank god."

"Who's god?"

"Never mind." We grabbed the 5 statues, and tossed the ring into the air. It grew in size, and floated.

"Finally. I need a rest." I said as we jumped in.

I am starting to get lazy on these things... Can someone tell me why? Maybe I am getting hasty, and want fights... Or maybe I want to get to the ending surprise. Who knows?
