First I want to apologize with you because I made changes in the members of the teams for better align the story, but the else is okay.

GUN HQ:

The alarms sounded for all the base, the soldiers went out form the rest room putting the helmets and taking their weapons to make guard in front the door that connect the detention area with the rest of the base. Shadow stood up with fists raised.

Shadow: "That's the alarm?"

Commander: "I am afraid"

Shadow: "Everybody stay here, the commander and I we are going to check. ITS AN ORDER!"

Beat: "That's not fair!"

The hedgehog and the commander left the room to join to the guards in the access to the detention area. Inside Eclipse used a chaos spears to free his brothers and the changelings form their prisons.

Eclipse: "I suppose that you also want to give GUN a lesson?" The changelings affirmed with their heads. "Just follow me". Eclipse also free the decepticon and the rock soldiers. To the other side of the door, the Shadow in company of GUN soldiers still waiting until an explosion blew the door taking away the hedgehog and his team. From the smoke emerge Eclipse with they stunts.

Eclipse: "Now brother we're only you and me".

N'grrai Hive. Twilight Cage:

Team Knuckles were trapped by the N'grrai thinking that they are Zoah minions. The team looked inside his ship but the viscous aliens used their drones to suck out their energy.

Rouge: "THEY ABSORB OUR ENERGY"

Knuckles: "Fluttershy, you told that the animals are you speciality. DO SOMETHING AND DON'T BOTHER IT THIS TIME!"

Fluttershy: "I will have something better!"

The pegasus went out form the ship and under the glare of a group of angry aliens, she to sang an strange melody, like she was regurgitating of agony.

Fluttershy: "OOOM HHHEEEEEE, OOOM HHHEEEEE, OOOM HHHEEEEE".

The team covered their ears.

Knuckles: "WHAT IN HELL SHE WAS TO TRY TO DO, STUNT THEM!"

After that musical interlude, the N'grrai started to applaud with their bloated bodies like jelly.

N'grrai 1: "BRAVO!, BRAVO!"

N'grrai 2: "You knnnow very well our sonnngsss"

N'grrai 3: "A herald of the Zoah wouldnnn't have ssso good tassste for the musssic!"

Rarity: "YOU DID IT FLUTTERSHY!"

Zoah Colony.

In the Zoah hideout, Team Sonic were trapped by the alien guards at the moment to land.

Zoah Brute: "State your business invaders! Or we'll assume you to be N'grrai spies. Wait a moment? Ponies? This must be is my lucky day. I smell a promotion in my future".

Sonic: "You shoot us down big guy. Did you expect us to go without a fight"

Team Sonic gathered to fight against the brutes, the Zoah were the first in attack with their sword to infringe a damage to the four, after Rainbow stoke back with a cyclone attack which stunned the three guards, Daring approached to let out one with a hoof combo. The other two answered with a ray from their swords, Sonic responded with a spin attack which knocked another one, the last guard knocked Daring with a mega punch, buy Amy finished with a punch of her hammer.

Amy: "What a bunch of meanies!"

Sonic: "Let's explore. There's definitely a chaos emerald here somewhere"

All the place was infested, however our walked in the city without call the attention, so understood that the majority were not so "aggressive". Near to the factory the group took cautions, its seems that the Zoah had a state-of-the-art-security, inside will face many Zoah patrols while they're inside. In the factory, the team found the emerald.

Amy: "This seems too easy".

The another brute appeared between them and the emerald.

Zoah Brute: Take another step. I want an excuse to hurt you.

Sonic: We're going to take the emerald and you can't stop us.

Zoah Brute: "I would not be sure. Lord Raxos don't let you!"

Daring Do: "So bring us to that Raxos".

Raxos: "Silence! Who are this guys Syrax?".

Syrax: "My lord". The guard gets down on. "Those intruders want to steal our secret weapon".

Amy: "Who's that?"

Raxos: "So I accuse you of sabotage trying to steal or secret weapon".

Rainbow Dash: "The emerald?".

Syrax: "In the name of the Zoah Empire and the powerful general Raxos, I propose that the accused be imprisoned to await execution! Has the condemned anything to say"

Rainbow: "Bite me!"

Raxos: "What brave! I propose something, If you challenge me and win, perhaps you could have it. Sadly my tiny furry foes, you are not N'grrai and so I will no have the pleasure of crush you".

Syrax: "Mighty general, I beg for the right to sponsor them as citizens. I would love nothing more than to see them destroyed".

Raxos "If my champion wishes it".

Sonic: "So we challenge you".

Raxos: "And I, General Raxos, answer the challenge"

Zoah Brute: "I have looked forward to this".

The fighters went to a arena surrounded by guards ready to start the challenge. The first in attack was the brute hurting Sonic with his shield, after the hedgehog stroke back but was a energy shield protecting the alien, even the cyclone attack of Rainbow doesn't worked, the brute still attacking. Daring got an idea, suggested combine all the attacks, Sonic and Rainbow combined their speed to crate a tornado who disarmed the Zoah, Amy and Daring finish the battle with a combined combo of hammer and hooves.

Raxos: "Well done, You won the right to be destroyed by the general of the Zoah, one to one to be right".

Sonic: "So, what should I tie my hands behind my back?"

Raxos: "Show me what you got!"

Sonic and Raxos began to fight, the alien shot a laser beam but Sonic eluded it and hit his opponent with a spin combo attack. The general still using his laser canon, one electrified the hedgehog but woken up and saw his weak point, jumped and hit his chest with a super rolling attack defeating the general of the Zoah.

Raxos: "In the first time in the history of our race, I have been defeated".

Rainbow: "WE DIDI IT!"

Raxos: "You are champions and a deal it's a deal".

Syrax: "But sir".

Raxos "Silence Syrax. Have the weapon brought to your cahmpions".

Syrax obey and gave the emerald to Sonic and for any reason, the cutie mark of Rainbow Dash started to shine.

Raxos: "With you as example, we don't have to fear lord Ix anymore".

The team returned to their ship, there received a call of Knuckles tell the about the secret weapon. Sonic told that they haven't to fear anymore because the have the secret weapon. Team Knuckles went to the N'grrai Queen to told them, the jelly aliens celebrated the occasion and the queen gave them another emerald, the cutie marks of Rarity and Fluttershy were glowing too.

Queen N'grraii: "Annnother gem? Lord Ix tricked us! He will pay for their liesss! Please keep the gem and help your worlds".

In the Kron colony, Team Sally infiltrated to the factory, defeated the echidna guards dressed as ninja that kept the place, and took the emerald, not without free the Krons who were enslaved in the factory. The rock aliens closed to give them the thanks making that Applejack cutie mark began to shine.

GUN HQ.

Eclipse grabbed Shadow form the throat.

Eclipse: "You thought that you have destroyed us, sorry for disappoint you but the Black Arms are eternals".

So, a flashlight blinded the alien releasing Shadow, was Radiant Hope in company of the Jet Set Gang who come to his rescue, she used her magi to put him on her back and after used a teleport spell. The team were teleported to the training room far of the detention area. Shadow woke up asking what happened.

Beat: "its seems that all the base was invaded".

With them was Cyrus with Omega, Silver Spoon, Sea Breezie and Bramble.

Omega: "Chocolate moose"

Bramble: "The talking oven is right, all the thing is a madness".

Gum: "With all GUN soldier imprisoned, we are the only hope".

Silver Spoon: "What want those aliens"

Cyrus: "2 things: the Gaia Ring that princess Elise gave us and the Metallix System".

Shadow: "The Metallix System?"

Cyrus: "A system created between Rotor Warlus, Miles Prower and me using Eggman technology to use all the machinery of the world as a means of defence and protect Mobius".

Shadow: "WHAT?!"

Cyrus: "Maybe was a mistake but the constants attacks of Eggman don't let us choice".

Shadow: "With that system in hands of those aliens, will have a "Darkopolypse. What kind of energy use?".

Cyrus: "We though in use a chaos emerald. but the energy looked in the ring that Dr. Ellidy could gave us the power that the system needs".

Shadow: "So divide us in two teams: Me, Radiant, Beat and Bramble we protect the system. The rest look that ring".

The group broke up and took different ways. Eclipse was recovering from the effects of the light spell when he saw a sinister figure coming to him.

Black Doom: "Well Eclipse, its seems that you don't see coming this".

Eclipse "My lord wasn't my fault, I…"

Black Doom: "Shut up! Search that ring and took control of the system. Of Shadow I will take care".

Twilight cage. Sector Charyb.

The voxai are a race of telepaths, the Voxai Overmind used their powers to keep the peace but when a threat knock their doors, they don't doubt to use their power to defend themselves. Fortunately Twilight was in the team and her magic was a secure against mind control. As princess, Twilight as talent for the diplomacy, so she decided to go to the encounter of the Voxai to talk like civilized beings.

Voxai: "Turn back! turn back!"

Pinkie. "No! you turn back. We came for the emerald and you can't stop us mister jelly-manta-fish".

Twilight Sparkle: "PINKIE! Who re you?"

Voxai: "I am Thebes and you are princess Twilight Sparkle of Equestria".

Pinkie: "AWESOME! NOW READ MY MIND!"

Tails: "Let him talk Pinkie".

Thebes: "I understand how you feel. the loniless, the fear, the silence…I beg you, you must go now".

Twilight: "If you really can read our minds, you must know our needs"

Thebes: "Yes, I know. Come with me but be careful. The Overmind could act through any of the voxai! You'll never how hostile will be until was too late!

They followed the alien to the city.

Bunnie: "He seems so lonely!"

Tails: "Maybe we can help him".

Thebes told them that the Overmind gave them mental requests until their urgings turned into irresistible commands because a gem of power which arrive from the sky.

Thebes: "They used the power of the gem for control our minds. Commands, no suggests!

Bunnie: "How awfully"

Thebes: "Maybe you can help us to recover our liberty?"

Twilight: "Where is that gem?"

Thebes: "In the colony Alpha, our main homeworld, with it the Overmind could taking away our abilities. But if we can stop them and recover the gem…"

Tails: "…We can protect the Voxai from Overmind's control"

Then Voxai guards leaded by one of the Overmind Elite protectors called

Thelxes came to arrest Thebes.

Thelxes: "Thebes the Voxai, you are found guilty of resisting the Overmind"

Thebes: "Get out of here!"

Thebes and Team flew away from the guards.

Thelxes: You will submit! The Overmind demands it!

GUN HQ:

The Team Shadow were running at the Metallix System, the hedgehog couldn't avoid look the glare on Radiant eyes, so he closed to her for making a question.

Shadow: "How was he".

Radiant Hope: "Who?".

Shadow: "The pony who left mark in your heart".

Radiant: "How do you know that".

Shadow: "That glare in your eyes, I saw it in my reflect".

Radiant: "…, he was gentle at the beginning. I really loved him, everypony said that he was a monster but I always believed that was goodness on him but in the end he broke my heart, he murdered our queen and enslaved our people. When the Empire disappeared, I was only crystal pony who was left. I spend the next years studying magic with the princesses until I renounced and lived the rest of the millennium as an hermit. One day the Crystal Empire returned so I approached the situation to start again. I was recovering my life when that black cloud transported me to that rock."

Shadow thought how was programmed by Doctor Gerald Robotnik for destroy the human kind, he was near to become a monster and that fear haunted him everyday since his awakening. Put his arm on his shoulder and comfort her:

Shadow: "You are a great… equine, if he don't loved you, he miss it. Only don't let that hinder your life. Let the past behind and start to think in the future". Radiant responded with a smile.

The team arrived to the door of the chamber where the System Core was. Shadow was using the control panel to open the door, as secret agent level 1 he know all the access codes. The System Core has the form a big sphere with a red shining centre surrounded of cables.

Beat: "So this is the Metallix System".

Bramble: "How huge".

Shadow: "What they was thinking".

Then another explosion blew the wall on the left, from I emerged Eclipse and his army of aliens including the changelings.

Shadow: "Who are you?"

Eclipse: "I am you brother Eclipse and its time to pay for your betrayal, nobody betray the family".

Shadow: "I know who is my family".

Eclipse: "SO DIE WITH THEM!"

Twilight cage. Sector Charyb.

Willing to free the Voxai, Twilight went directly to the Sacred Chamber to confront the Overmind conformed by tree Voxai: one green, one orange and one blue.

Twilight: IN THE NAME OF THE FRIENDSHIP, I DEMAND YOU THAT FREE ALL THOSE PEOPLE NOW!"

The power of the Overmind was to strong and took control of the rest of the team.

Bunnie: "Must..protect…the Overmind".

Tails: "The Overmind rules".

Pinkie: "Chocomilk for everyone".

Twilight: "Guys?"

Overmind Leucosia: "This one resist us".

Overmind Ligaia: "It possesses power of its own".

Overmind Riadne: "Give in to us. Outermind. Let us unburden you of choice".

Twilight: "No You will not control me!"

Laucosia: "It is not a matter of if".

Ligaia: "It is a matter of when".

Riadne: "Fight us if you wish. We will even give you your friends back!"

Leucosia: "To give you a fighting chance".

Ligaia: "We would to hate for this to end too quickly".

Twilight: "We are gonna fight or talk?!"

The three Overminds attacked Twilight with their flips but she used a magic shield to protect herself and responded with a magic beam which knocked down Riadne. The next move did it Ligaia with a psychic wave, the alicorn used a similar spell that to collide, exploded sending the two opponents in both directions. The princess got up to finish the last Overmind but was too weak. Leucosia was ready to finish the pony with a recoil until Pinkie which mind was too hard to control defeated her with a shot of her party cannon. After Thebes with other Voxai closed to them.

Thebes: "My friends. You did it! defeated the Overmind and freed us to all!"

The team took the emerald, only left one thing to do.

Tails: "Your people will look to you lead them Thebes".

Thebes: "Yes, I see it now. The Voxai will be free to choice their own propuse and I found the mine".

Voxai: "I pledge to you the friendship of the Voxai. Return when you need it. Now if you'll excuse me but my people need me".

Then the cutie marks of Twilight and Pinkie were shining like the others.

Mina: "My place is here".

What is Sonic plan and how will the doctor and Rotor free Mina form Stalrlight Glimmer control? That is it for the moment, but after I want to give you an advancement for my new stories.

In the year 21XX, a scientist with purple armour was exposing in front of the many members of Science Ministry. He was using an hologram projector to show map of the world dividing in two, after in four and those in eight.

Craig Sid: "Through the centuries, many human scientists according to the existence of different worlds parallel to ours, I was spend the latest years investigating a way to may contact with such worlds and I thought that I found the equation that we need. I propose built a portal, find alternatives sources of energy bring them to here and resolve the crisis"

Any of the scientists said anything and decided to get out form the auditorium. Doctor Craig was disappointed, so one of the members of the Ministry, a girl (or boy) of lavender hair of half-moon motif style with a fringe covering one half of her face, red eyes, with armour with a hexagonal gem on her chest, with gloves and white boots approached to him.

?: "In my opinion Doctor Craig, your presentation was interesting and I would like to help you. My name is Lumine".

Craig: "The director of Jacob Proyect? Why do you help me?"

Lumine: "Because, maybe, in one of those worlds exist the element that we need to perfect the copy chips and eradicate de Maverick Virus once and for all, even create a new race of Reploids. So, we have a deal?"

(For know who is Craig Sid, review ultimatemaverickx site in Daviantart).
