Chapter 5: The Encounter

Sonic and Twilight made it towards the center of multiple buildings. "So, you're a hedgehog?" Twilight asked in shock. "But I thought hedgehogs were small like bunnies." Sonic nodded and replied, "Well, I'm not your average hedgehog. Come on, I'll find my friend, Tails, he'll know where your fr-"

Suddenly, he was cut off by another mech known as Big Foot, which was very similar to Hot Shot. "Okay, I'm ready, bring it on!" Sonic shouted as Big Foot began locking into him and Twilight! Sonic pushed Twilight behind a crate and jumped up to homing attack Big Foot. Unfortunately, Sonic couldn't quite reach Big Foot, and ended up getting pelted with bullets. "We've got him cornered, base," the pilot of Big Foot said. Sonic instantly got up and said, "Do you know who you're facing? I'm Sonic the Hedgehog!" He then began revving up into a Spin Dash and tried to attack Big Foot. Big Foot however, swerved out the way and began making it hard for Sonic to target him. Big Foot began firing bullets and actually managed to pelt Twilight a fair amount if times. "How dare you?! Hasn't anypony ever taught you manners?!" Twilight yelled, getting Big Foot to attempt charging her. Twilight braced herself, before seeing a rainbow streak zip through the Big Foot. "What was that?!" Sonic exclaimed, before seeing Big Foot begin to explode.

"Commander!" the pilot yelled as he got launched into the dusk sky yelling, "I'm blasting off again!"

The rainbow streak turned out to be one of Twilight's friends, Rainbow Dash, who is a Pegasus-pony (she IS my most hated main character). "Well, I guess more than one of you are here." Sonic said, before turning around to see Shadow on top of the Big Foot. "It all starts with this..." Shadow said as he held the Chaos Emerald tightly. "A Chaos Emerald? Now I know what's going on!" Sonic yelled as he began walking towards Shadow. "The military has mistaken ME for the likes of YOU! So, where do you think you're going with that emerald?!"

Shadow simply stood there, with no expression on his face. "Say something, you damn hedgehog!" Sonic shouted with anger in his voice. Shadow quickly yelled, "Chaos Control!" and warped right past Sonic in the blink of an eye. "Wow! He's faster than I am!" Rainbow Dash said with excitement. "It's not his speed, he must be using the Chaos Emerald to warp!" Sonic exclaimed.

"My name is Shadow, I am the world's ultimate life form. There's no time for games... Farewell!"

And with that, Shadow disappeared with the Chaos Emerald. "Shadow, what is he?" Sonic asked himself. "Didn't you hear? He just said he's the ultimate life form." Twilight answered, making Sonic feel dumb. G.U.N. troops began surrounding the area, with one soldier saying, "Don't move! Stay where you are! Keep your hands in the air!" Twilight spoke up and said, "We don't have any hands!" The soldier then yelled, "Uh...well, keep your hooves in the air!" Twilight and Dash had to both get on their legs and put their hooves in the air. "You'd better pay me for saving you from seeing Satan..." Dash said to Twilight. Sonic sighed and said, "Damn, not here."
