Sonic Elemental X
Chapter 30: 30. A real tiny problem
Previous Chapter Next Chapter(Cue Sonic X intro theme)
A few days after the heroes had their run in with Sonic EXE, things have turned back to normal in Ponyville. At least, what the heroes consider normal. We arrive at Twilight's lab, which is in the attic of the library, and see Twilight and Sonic in his pegasus form. It seems that the lavender unicorn is working on a potion. "Why am I down here?" Sonic asks, tapping his left forehoof impatiently. Twilight just sighs at the blue blur's question, as this is like the thrid time she has answered it. "I told you already, you're gonna help me test out this new shrinking potion." Twilight explains. "And why couldn't you get Tails to do it?" Sonic asks, annoyed. "I sent him to go shopping." Twilight says. Sonic sighs in annoyance of Twilight's explanation. Twilight should've sent him to go shopping instead of Tails so he wouldn't be stuck in here. Then again, he was with Rainbow Dash, trying to see if he could best her at tricks at the time. "Man, I now wish I didn't vist Rainbow Dash this morning..." Sonic thinks. Sonic continues to watch Twilight work on the potion, until the vile holding the potion starts to bubble intensly, and glow. "Um... Is the potion suppoused to do that?" Sonic asks, pointing at the vile. "I don't t-" Twilight says.
Before she could finish her sentence though, the vile exploded, consuming Twilight and Sonic in a purple smoke! When the smoke eventually cleared, we see that the two heroes are nowhere to be seen. Upon closer inspection to where the two of them were standing though, we see that Sonic and Twilight were shrunken to the size of mice! Upon looking at the size of himself, the blue blur got ticked off, and looked over at the lavender unicorn, anger in his eyes. "DAMMIT TWILIGHT! YOUR DAMN POTION EXPLODED AND SHRUNK US!" Sonic yelled out, transforming back to his regular hedgehog state. Twilight smiled nervously at Sonic, and laughed nervously. "Sorry, I didn't know this would happen." Twilight says. The blue blur just face palms at hearing Twilight. He was quite angry at her for shrinking them both, and was about to yell at her, when the ground started to shake, and the sound of giant footsteps were approching. "Somepony's coming! Maybe we could get their attention!" Sonic exclaims. When the footsteps finally came downstaris, the two heroes see non-other than Tails. "You guys down here?" Tails asked from his position by the stairs. The two-tailed fox startrd to look around for the two heroes, until he spotted their tiny figures on the ground. The bad thing is though, he thought the two heroes were mice. "Mice... Seriously?" Tails said aloud. He walked over to Sonic and Twilight, and gently picked them up. He then walked upstaris and to the front door of the library before opening the door, and tossing the two heroes out.
Twilight managed to slow her desent using her wings, while Sonic... Well landed flat on his face. He quickly got back off the ground, and brushed the dirt off his body, before looking over at Twilight angrily. "You could've grabbed me..." Sonic growled. "Sorry..." Twilight says, smiling nervously once again. The two heroes then looked over at the door of the library, and seen it was shut tight. "Well this is just fucking beautiful! We're locked out of the fucking library, and it's all because your fucking potion decided to MOTHERFUCKING EXPLODE in our faces!" Sonic cried out. Then, not wanting to hurt Twilight, the blue blur went to the door of the library, and started to punch it like a madman. "LET. US. IN!" Sonic yelled. He continued to punch the door with all his strength for the next five or ten minutes, until giving up, and sitting down on the ground tiredly. "You didn't have to do that." Twilight said, walking over to the blue hero. "Yes I did. It was either that, or hurt you." Sonic explained. Twilight flinched a little bit at hearing Sonic. She was lucky that he didn't hurt her. Twilight sat next the blue blur, and sighed heavily as well. The two heroes sat there for a few minutes saying nothing, until Sonic broke the silence. "How are we going to get in the library now?" Sonic asked.
Then, as if he were heard by some sort of angel, the sound of footstesp began to approach the library. The two heroes looked over to where the footsteps were coming from, and saw Rainbow Dash in her hedgehog form, heading towards the library with a book in her hand. "Oh thank Chaos... Maybe we could get Rainbow's attention." Sonic said. "Like we did with Tails? Sonic, I don't thinks that's a good idea, especially if she's in that secondary form." Twilight explains. "Well, it's worth a shot, ain't it?" Sonic asks. Without a moment's hesitation, the blue blur transformed into his pegasus form, and flew up to Rainbow Dash, and started to fly around her. "Ugh, stupid bug..." RD thought, starting to try and swat Sonic with her free hand. (SG: AKA, the hand that didn't have the book.) Unfortunately, the blue hero took this as a chance to show off, and started to foolishly avoid the cyan hedgehog's hand. Well, until she managed to hit him... This sent the blue pegasus sprialing towards the ground. Thankfully though, Sonic managed to regain control of his body, and started to fly in place. "Okay, now to talk with her..." Sonic said, annoyed he got swated down by Rainbow Dash. The blue hero flew up towards the cyan hedgehog's face, and landed directly on her nose before transforming back to normal. Rainbow Dash noticed this, and looked directly at the blue hero. She was about to swat him off her nose, until she noticed how he looked. "Wait... Sonic?" RD asked, squinting her eyes to see the blue blur more clearly.
The blue hero face palmed at finally the rainbow hedgehog recgonizing him. "No shit, Sherlock. Now, Twilight and I need your help." Sonic says. "Yeah? What with? And where's Twi?" RD asks. Sonic points to the ground, to show Twilight waving up at him and Rainbow Dash. "Oh.. RD whispers. She picks up Sonic off her nose, and picks Twilight up off the ground, and places them both on her right shoulder. "Now, what in Equestria caused you to be this tiny? And why are you outside?" RD asks.
(One boring explanation later...)
After Twilight had finished explaining what happnened in detail, she looked over at Sonic, and found him asleep. "Seriously not the time..." Twilight thinks. The lavender alicorn turned towards Rainbow Dash, in hopes of having her wake up Sonic. But NOPE! The cyan hedgehog had also fell asleep during Twilight's explanation, and she did so, STANDING UP! This of course, pissed off the princess of friendship, and she yelled at the two speedsters at the top of her lungs. "WAKE UP YOU BUCKING IDIOTS!" Twilight yelled out. Then, almost in an instant, both speedsters woke up. "Huh!? I'm awake!" Both speedsters cried out. They looked over at Twilight, who was looking at both of them with an angry expression on her face. "Can you just get us inside the library Rainbow? I think I have a spell that could fix this mess." Twilight explains. Rainbow Dash gives a simple nod, before walking to the front door of the library, and knocking. Seconds later, it is open by Spike. "Hey Rainbow." Spike greeted. "Hi Spike. Can I come in the library?" RD asks. "Sure. Did you want to talk about something?" Spike asked. Rainbow Dash shook her head, which almost made Sonic and Twilight fall off her shoulder. "I'm just returning a book to Twilight, and she asked me to come here to help her with something." RD says. "Okay." Spike says. The baby dragon moves out of the way of the doorway, and allows the rainbow hedgehog to enter the library. Soon after though, she quickly heads to the nearby bookshelves, and places the two shrunken heroes on one of the shelves. "I'll look for the book. You two just stay here." RD says. Without another word, the rainbow pegasus starts to fly around the shelves, hoping to find the book to reverse the mess Sonic and Twilight are in. (And not to do much reading...)
(Three hours later)
After pulling nearly every book from the bookshelves, the heroes are no closer to reversing this mess. "We've read almost every single book in here Twilight. I don't think there's a way to reverse the shrinking process." Sonic says. "There has to be a way! There just has to be!" Twilight cries out, using her magic to flip through multiple books at the same time. Then, just as hope is about to leave the heroes, from one of the book piles, Pinkie Pie pops up from under it, and holds out a book with her left forehoof. "FOUND IT!" Pinkie yells out. Everyone looks toward the pink party pony, both mystified, and happy. "When did you get here Pinkie?" RD asks. "I sneaked in after you guys started to look through the books." Pinkie says innocently. Then, using her magic, Twilight grabs the book from Pinkie, and starts to look through it, until landing on a specific page. "There it is. Now I can fix this mess..." Twilight says aloud. Just before the lavender alicorn can cast the spell to revert everyone back to normal, an explosion his heard from outside. "What was that?" Sonic asks. "I don't know... You two stay here, Pinkie and I will check it out." RD says. Without getting another word out, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash go check out where the explosion came from.
(Outside)
Upon reaching the outside, the pink pony, and cyan hedgehog, come face to face with a robotic scorpion. Inside of the cockpit of the robot, is non-other than Dr. Eggman himself. He quickly sees the two heroes, and smiles evilly. "Ah, it seems you heroes have come out to play..." Eggman says calmly. "Can it! We know why you're here Eggman, and we will not let you win! Right Pinkie?" RD asks, looking over at her friend. Upon seeing Pinkie Pie though, Rainbow Dash sees the pink pony hopping up and down excitedly. "YAY! WE'RE GONNA HAVE SO MUCH FUN!" Pinkie yells excitedly, still hopping up and down. Rainbow Dash just sighs, annoyed at her friend. "Well, I am anyway." RD says. The evil genius just laughs at the heroes. "I like to see you try." Eggman says.
Boss Bio # 15
Name: Egg Scorpion
Attacks: Stabbing with the tail, machine gun and laser beam on tail, bombs, firing both arms, a secret weapon.
Bio: A new robot Eggman had come up with, and it is really tough.
(Cue Sonic Rush boss music)
The mad doctor opened up with his attacks, by activating a hidden opening near the Egg Scorpion's tail, which released bombs. The bombs headed to the two heroes, but Rainbow Dash just kicked the away while Pinkie was just still, well... Hopping, but she amazingly avoided the bombs. Anyway, the cyan hedgehog managed to kick some of the bombs into the Egg Scorpion, causing some damage to the hull, but not a lot. "HA,HA,HA,HA! Do you really think hitting back my own attack will do much? Ha! Take this!" Eggman exclaims. The doc presses another button within the Egg Scorpion, causing the tip of the tail of the machine to start firing bullets at the heroes. They are avoided with ease by Rainbow Dash, but Pinkie Pie isn't really as lucky, as she gets shot on the left side of her flank, and is thrown back like a rag-doll. After she regains her footing, the pink party pony's regularly poofy mane deflates, and she looks at Eggman, angry. "TIME TO PARTY HARD DR. E!" Pinkie yells out. Pinkie Pie runs toward the Egg Scorpion, easily avoiding the bullets the robot is firing, until jumping up at the tail, and smashing the hidden machine gun within it to bits. After doing this, the pink pony lands all four of her hooves on the hull of the Egg Scorpion, causing a huge dent, before jumping back onto the ground. "Grrr... I won't let you win that easy!" Eggman cries out. The doc presses another button on the control panel of the Egg Scorpion, sending both its arms at Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie, and grabbing them both! After getting the Egg Scorpion's arms back into place, the doc presumes to use the claws of the bot to crush the two heroes to death. Though, before the crushing can be complete, two voices can be heard from the side of the robot.
"AURA SPHERE! ICE SPIKES!" The two voices yell out.
Suddenly, as the two voices stopped, a light blue sphere collided with the left arm of the Egg Scorpion, while ice spikes rose up on the right arm, splitting both arms in half. This releases the two heroes from the robot's clutches, and they turn to see were the two voices came from. They turn to see...
Ash and Lighting Striker!
SG: Heh, we haven't heard from them in a while.
The pegasus and hedgehog soon join the two battling heroes, and smirk. "Having some trouble?" Ash asks. "Quiet Ash. We have more important issues to worry about." RD says. The two new heroes nod, and the four of them look toward Eggman in his Egg Scorpion. "GAH! You two fools are here to!? No matter! I will destroy you all!" Eggman exclaims. Eggman starts to rapidly press every button in his Egg Scorpion, sending more bombs at the heroes, and even having the tail fire a cyan colored laser. "You two take out the bomb dispenser, I'll handle the laser." Lightning says to Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie. The two of them nod their heads, and the three heroes run for the robot. "Full out assault, eh? You won't win!" Eggman exclaims. With those words out of the doc's mouth, the Egg Scorpion starts to fire its bombs a lot more rapidly, but even still, they're to slow for the heroes as they avoid the bombs with ease. Once getting close enough to the bomb dispenser, Rainbow Dash jumps up, and kicks one of the bombs back into the dispenser, destroying it. Then with Lighting Striker, she has finally gotten close enough to use her ice power against the laser, which she does. Her power freezes the laser, giving a chance for Ash to destroy it with an Aura Sphere. Now with all the weapons destroyed on the Egg Scorpion, the four heroes stand in front of the machine. "What are you gonna do now Eggman? You're defenseless." Lighting says. "Oh no... I am so gonna die. Oh wait... No I'm not. TAKE THIS!" Eggman yells. Eggman presses another button within the machine, causing the eyes of the machine to open up, and shoot out this black gunk at the heroes feet. The gunk solidifies the second it touches the ground, making the four heroes stuck. "GAH! I can't move!" RD exclaims. Rainbow Dash's worried expression just makes the mad doc smile evilly at our heroes. "Do you like it? This my custom sticky gunk. You can't move, so I can now destroy you." Eggman says.
Eggman starts to push a few random buttons within the Egg Scorpion, making the machine open up, revealing a giant laser! "Say good-bye heroes." Eggman says evilly. The laser starts to charge up as the four heroes struggle to try and get out from the gunk. Even Ash is using his Aura attacks, and nothing is happening to the gunk, not even a scratch is placed. "Oh man. I think we're actually gonna die..." Ash thinks. After a few seconds more, the laser is fully charged, and Eggman presses one final button on the machine, causing the laser to fire. The four heroes close their eyes, waiting for death...
I never came.
Just as the laser was about to kill the four heroes, a blue blur slammed straight into it, keeping the laser at bay. It was Sonic, and he was attempting to break through the laser beam using the boost ability! Unfortunately, Eggman notices the blue hedgehog. "Finally come out to play Sonic? Heh, then lets play!" Eggman exclaims. The doc increases the intensity on the laser, making Sonic struggle and struggle more against the beam. "I... Won't let you kill them Eggman!" Sonic cries out. Then, as if a sudden burst of strength had come through him, the blue blur boosted straight through the beam, and straight through the robot, causing it to explode, and send Eggman flying. "I'LL GEEEEET YOOOUU SOOOOOONIC!" Eggman yells as he is sent flying.
(End Sonic Rush boss theme)
With Eggman now defeated, the blue hero turns toward his stuck friends, a Power Ring in his left hand. "Now, to get you guys free." Sonic says. The blue hero uses the rest of the energy within the Power Ring, and Spin Dashes against ever single piece of gunk, destroying it in the process. "Thanks for the safe Sonic." RD says. "No problem." Sonic says. It is then, the cyan hedgehog notices something about the blue hero. He's back to his original size! "Woah, how did Twilight change you back?" RD asks. "A spell. Now come on, lets head inside." Sonic says. Before getting a chance to walk inside though, the blue hero notices the bullet wound on Pinkie Pie's flank, and gasps. "And get that patched up." Sonic says, pointing at the bullet wound on Pinkie's flank. With that said, the four heroes head inside Twilight's library.
SG: I finally got those guys out again. Hope you enjoyed this episode, and sorry it took so long, I was kinda running out of ideas of what to do for this one. Anyway, I am TheSonicGamer99 signing out. See ya'll next time!
