The heroes stood off against Darkness. They were prepared for him.

"What are you just standing there for, Darkness?" Fire Sonic asked.

Darkness growled as he charged at the heroes. The girls each took out their Chaos Morphers and fired at Darkness. Each of them had hit him at the same time, making a blast from one Morpher five times as powerful. Fire Sonic quickly used his new firepower and shot a massive wave of fire energy at Darkness.

Darkness was really scrapped from all of those attacks, "You're gonna regret that!"

"Hey, over here!" someone called behind him.

Darkness turned around, but was then suddenly slashed by some kind of sword. He was knocked onto the ground. When he looked what it was, it was Specter. He was holding a sword made out of pure red energy in his hands.

"How'd you like the taste of that, Darkness?" Specter asked sarcastically.

Darkness growled, "Why you little-! RAAAGGHH!"

Darkness charged right at Specter, but Specter saw this coming. He quickly blocked Darkness's punch with the side of his sword. Darkness began to feel the energy from the sword.

"Ooh, that energy…" Darkness said, "It feels powerful. You're no ordinary meta-human, are you, Specter?"

"You could say that," Specter said, "Oh, and you're forgetting one very important thing."

"Oh, yeah? What's that?" Darkness asked.

"Right behind you," Specter said and he suddenly ducked his head.

Darkness turned his head and received a hard kick in his face from Rainbow. He grunted in pain and surprise and was knocked really hard into the tree. The impact was really hard, the tree was wrecked and it tipped over.

Darkness groaned, "Now you really get on my nerves, girly."

Rainbow's eyes widen, "What did you just call me?"

Darkness smirked, "You heard me, girly."

Rainbow suddenly disappeared and reappeared right in front of Darkness, startling him. She grabbed him, and pulled him very close to her face, "No one calls me that."

Rainbow then slammed her head on Darkness's. The impact really hurt like a hard brick. Darkness had stepped back a few feet, "Okay, now I'll have to teach you a lesson."

"I'm afraid that'll have to wait," Rainbow said.

Darkness was then hit in the shoulder by a purple crystal arrow. He yelled loudly in pain. The arrow came from Rarity and her crystal bow. She grabbed another from her quiver, "Now it's my turn for my special move."

She placed the arrow on the bow's string, pulled back, and yelled with an echo as she glowed white, "HA!"

"Oh, no…" Darkness said.

Rarity released the arrow. It landed right in front of Darkness on the ground. It glowed and then exploded in purple energy. Darkness was knocked into the air. Rarity ran and slid on her knees under Darkness as she took out her Chaos Morpher and shot him with a large purple energy blast. Darkness then fell onto the ground on his back. Rarity then did a backflip in the air over Darkness and shot three arrows at once at Darkness. Each of them exploded in purple energy. When Rarity landed, she grabbed Darkness's foot and threw him into the air. She quickly grabbed her Morpher, aimed at Darkness, and yelled, "Generosity Blast!"

Her Morpher shot a massive purple energy blast at Darkness. Darkness yelled loudly in utter pain. He landed on the ground on his stomach.

Darkness began to growl in anger and announce, "Now I've had enough of you!"

Darkness let out a massive wave of blackish red energy. Everyone was knocked back, but Fire Sonic and Strike was the only one who was able to dodge it. They did a backflip in the air. As soon as they landed on their feet, they stood up and then looked at Darkness.

Fire Sonic began to throw his hands out throwing fireballs at Darkness. Darkness punched them with his fists to stop them. Fire Sonic's hands were then lid on fire and he threw them down and bursts of fire came out. He began to fly into the air. He then prepared and threw a large fire blast at Darkness. Darkness quickly disappeared and reappeared right beside Fire Sonic. He swung his fists on his head, knocking him down to the ground.

"Pathetic," Darkness said.

Darkness slowly lowered to the ground. He then had a smirk on his face as he turned to Strike, "You know, Strike, I think I could use your help."

"My help?" Strike asked, "Not a chance."

"Before you submit, perhaps I should tell you something," Darkness said, "I have a reason on why you should join me."

"Then tell me," Strike said impatiently.

"I had actually learned about you a long time ago," Darkness said, "I had learned what kind of great power you had accomplished, The great speed that you gained, you haven't realized what you really are, have you?"

The others could hear this, and each of them was worried. "Oh, no," Specter thought, "Is he trying to convince him to join him?"

"What are you talking about?" Strike asked confused.

"You just don't see it yet, do you?" Darkness said, "Maybe listen to this; what if I wasn't even running the show anymore?"

The others perked up at these words. They all realized that Darkness wanted Strike to be just like him.

"What do you mean?" Strike asked.

"You don't even know how powerful you can really be, Strike," Darkness said, "All you use your powers for are this great, impossible speed and these cheap pallor tricks when you… you could be… a god."

Strike just stood where he was thinking about everything Darkness said as he then spoke, "Together, we could be gods. Come with me. Let us punish both this world and your Earth together. It's only fair to give back what was intended for you. You have every right to want justice."

Darkness had an evil smile on his face as he thought this was working, until Strike turned his head back at him and answered, "That's absurd. Whatever it is you want to do, you can do it alone without anyone."

Darkness was shocked, "You forgive everything about all this folly that has happened to you? Are you saying you don't want to become more powerful then ever before in your life?"

That was then when Strike's emblem had began to glow bright cerulean blue as he raised his fist, clenched it, and said as his eyes then glowed the same color, "I already am the most powerful living being in all of the multiverse. And I determine my own destiny."

Darkness growled, "So be it. Die."

Darkness reached into his pocket, and pulled out a beam sword of his own. The blade was bright red, but the core was pure black. Strike then put his hand in his pocket and took out a beam sword of his own. His blade was bright sky blue with a pure white core.

Specter then joked, "So, anyone else seen Star Wars?"

Everyone just face palmed. Strike just said, "Really?"

Specter went with a face, "Whaaaaat? If no one else is gonna say it, I might as well. Now… FIGHT!"

Strike and Darkness charged at each other, and their blades went colliding into each other with loud noises and sounds. Strike quickly spun around and swung his blade at Darkness near his head, but Darkness ducked his head. He swung his sword at Strike's legs, but Strike jumped right over it at the last second. Darkness got back up and swung his sword at Strike, but Strike quickly blocked it.

"You're good, I have to admit," Strike said.

"You're not too bad yourself," Darkness said, "I'm just as impressed as I was earlier. You really should join me."

"Don't bother to try and deceive me," Strike said, "I know who I am."

Strike kicked Darkness in the left knee. The hit was really strong, it knocked Darkness off balance and he fell onto the ground. His hand had dropped his beam sword and it rolled away.

Darkness growled as he looked at Strike. Strike pointed the end of the blade from his beam sword at him, "Give up, Darkness. You're weak."

"I wouldn't count on it," Darkness said.

Darkness had suddenly grabbed Strike's wrist. He began to squeeze it hard. Strike yelled in pain as Darkness now began to twist his wrist and he dropped his beam sword. Thinking quickly, Strike began to shake his hand with his speed. Darkness saw that Strike's hand became blurry as he then realized that Strike's hand was phasing out of the grip.

"Impressive, I have to admit," Darkness said, "But you've only delayed your end."

Darkness held out his hand and his beam sword flew towards his hand. He grabbed it and stood up. Strike picked his beam sword up.

"Now, shall we continue?" Darkness asked.

"With pleasure," Strike said.

Strike rushed right at Darkness and gave him a jumping kick to the face. He then tried to slash his beam sword at Darkness, but Darkness quickly blocked it. He then pushed Strike back and then slashed his beam sword at Strike a lot of times, but Strike was able to block them.

Suddenly Darkness swung his beam sword hard and fast at Strike. Strike wasn't able to block it with the laser blade. Instead, the top of the hilt was sliced off. Darkness then swung his left leg at Strike's legs, tripping him.

Darkness swung his beam sword down at Strike, but Strike held his hand out at the last second and lightning was shooting out of his fingers into the beam sword, causing it to shake. Then it exploded in Darkness's hand. Darkness yelled in pain as Strike got up.

Strike then had his electricity crackling around him. Then he saw something that surprised him. Darkness had black and red lightning crackling around him in the same way.

"So, you have my powers?" Strike asked, "Not surprising."

"Well, you should realize, Strike…" Darkness said, "Without your speed, you won't be able to stop me."

"Well, let's see," Strike said, "Catch me if you can."

"As you wish," Darkness said.

Strike then ran off with his blur of energy and lightning following him. Darkness began to run after him. His blur was red with black lightning.

The others were still in a bit of pain, but Fire Sonic managed to get back on his feet, "You guys take a breather, I'll go after them."

"But, Sonic…" Rainbow tried to say.

"Rainbow," Fire Sonic said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

"O-okay, just be careful," Rainbow said as he gave Fire Sonic a quick kiss on his lips, and Sonic returned the kiss.

Fire Sonic quickly went running after Strike and Darkness. As the others got up, Shadow spoke, "Well, in the meantime, we'll be having a conversation with the other one."

But when the others looked for Specter, they noticed that Specter was gone. He escaped while they were distracted. "Darn it," Knuckles said.

Fire Sonic followed Strike and Darkness's blurs throughout Canterlot City. He was far behind them, but he was keeping track on where they were. Up ahead, Strike and Darkness were running right beside each other. Darkness then saw Fire Sonic was right behind them.

"Sorry, Strike," Darkness said, "But I'm afraid I'll have to cut this race short for now. Farewell."

Darkness had suddenly disappeared. "Dang it," Strike said.

Strike then looked behind and saw Fire Sonic was catching up to him, "Leave me alone, Sonic!"

"Wait!" Fire Sonic caught up with Strike, "We need to stop and talk!"

"I thought I already told you, now's not the time!" Strike yelled.

"When is the time, then!?" Fire Sonic asked.

"When I'm ready," Strike said.

Strike had then suddenly pressed his hand on his emblem. It suddenly glowed bright blue. Fire Sonic noticed this, "What is he doing?"

Suddenly, Fire Sonic had realized the Strike began to get faster and faster. His blur of energy and lightning grew and glowed brighter and brighter. Then, in an instant second, Strike had broken the sound barrier three times in a row. He was miles ahead of Fire Sonic, and then his blur had disappeared. The wind had caused a lot of windows from cars and buildings to break and shatter all over the street.

That was when Fire Sonic began to slow down and stop. He panted in exhaustion. "How is this possible?" he thought, "He's faster. FASTER! Than me! DARN IT!"

Back to the others, they could hear the boom from the sound barrier being broken. "Was that a sonic boom?" Silver said.

"Yes," Shadow said, "But the way that it sounded, I don't think Sonic can do it like that."

That was then when Fire Sonic had arrived panting in exhaustion from the entire running with Strike.

"They got away?" Tails asked.

"Darkness had vanished," Fire Sonic said, "But the meta-human, he… he… he broke the sound barrier three times… THREE TIMES at once! I can't believe it! He's faster than me! FASTER!"

The others gasped in shock at this. "What?!" Manic said, "That's impossible! No one can do that!"

"Whoever this meta-human is," Rainbow said, "He may just happen to be the impossible."

"Come on, everyone," Rarity said helping up Silver, "We should head home. We've been through enough for one night."

They were all about to leave when… "I'm afraid not," someone said.

The group turned around and saw a teenage girl. She had teal blue skin, pure white hair, and magenta purple eyes. She was wearing a skintight ice blue and cloud white streaked and detailed suit, while her shoulders, arms, hands, and lower legs were still visible, and she had pure white running shoes.

This mysterious girl looked really familiar to the girls. "F-Fleetfoot?" Rainbow asked, "Is that you?"

"You're correct," the girl said, "Well, half correct, anyway. You see, I'm not from this world."

"You come from Equestria like Twilight and Sunset?" Rarity asked.

"Not quite, my friend," the girl said, "I'm actually from the world where Strike and Specter are from."

"Strike and Specter?" Fire Sonic asked, "You mean those are the names of those boys with those powers?"

"That is correct, hedgehog," the girl said, "The meta-human is Strike, and his partner is Specter."

"Hang on," Applejack said, "If you're not really Fleetfoot, then what do we call you?"

"My name had changed the night I got these powers," the girl said, "My name… is Fleet Frost!"

Fleet Frost had swung her hand forward creating and firing a sharp icicle at the group. It went straight at Fire Sonic. Fire Sonic quickly dodged it in time, but it managed to cut a few specs of his hair.

Fire Sonic was shocked, "Whoa! Now's that's sharp!"

"I think I've got something better," Fleet Frost said.

Fleet Frost held out her hands at the group with a wave of ice-cold wind. They all managed to quickly move away. Frost then tried to shoot another icicle at Rainbow, but Rainbow threw one of her shurikens at it, breaking it.

"Come on, Frost!" Rainbow said, "I'm getting bored!"

"Oh, I'm shivering," Frost taunted, "I've been dying to kill Sonic the Hedgehog."

"I don't want to hurt you," Sonic said.

"Trust me. You won't," Frost said.

Frost began shooting multiple icicles at Fire Sonic, but Fire Sonic dodged them with his speed. He then threw his arms out throwing fireballs at Frost.

Fluttershy then gave Frost a hard kick to her stomach knocking her back. Then Fluttershy pulled out a crystal yellow hammer, "Now let's see my special move."

Fluttershy crossed her arms, then threw them out with her crystal wings out, and yelled with an echo as she glowed yellow, "HA!"

"Come and get me, brat!" Frost said.

Fluttershy flew right at Frost and grabbed her shoulder. She then flew high into the air taking Frost with her. When they were in the clouds, Fluttershy released her and flew in a circle. She yelled as she charged at Frost and banged her in the head with her hammer. Then she came from right above and whacked really hard on the top of her head knocking her down. Fluttershy then flew after her, took out her Morpher, aimed at Frost, and yelled, "Kindness Blast!"

Fluttershy's Morpher shot a massive yellow laser that hit Frost sending her down towards the ground faster. When she landed, she took a strong impact on her back. Fluttershy them appeared in front of her in the air, "Next time, show a girl some respect."

Frost struggled to get up, "Curse you, Fluttershy. But I'm not through with you yet."

"Too late," Fluttershy said.

Fluttershy quickly sidestepped out of the way, revealing Pinkie who then shot Frost with her crystal cannon and Morpher. Frost yelled in pain from both of the blasts that hit her at the same.

Frost growled angrily, "Enough of this!"

"Not quite," Pinkie said.

Pinkie crossed her arms, and then threw them out and yelled with an echo as she glowed pink, "HA!"

"Oh, come on!" Frost yelled.

But too late, Pinkie placed her cannon in front of her and shot Frost with it. Frost got a little disoriented and stepped backwards a few steps. Pinkie ran right at her and gave her a strong uppercut, knocking her in the air. She then did a backflip while kicked Frost, making her spinning backwards in the air. When Pinkie quickly landed, she took out her Morpher, aimed at Frost while she was still in the air, and yelled, "Laughter Blast!"

Pinkie's Morpher shot a massive pink laser at Frost. She was knocked back, and bounced a few times on the ground. Pinkie lowered her Morpher as she said, "And the party girl beats the frosty girl."

Frost got back onto her feet groaning, "I'm growing tired of you."

Frost then used her ice powers and threw four icicles at once. Two ere heading right at Fire Sonic, and the other two were going right at Shadow. But just as they were about to hit, in slow motion, Strike then appeared again in front of Fire Sonic and caught the icicles. Specter appeared in front of Shadow and destroyed the other two icicles with his sword. Everyone else was startled when they saw Strike and Specter.

"You two? Again?" Frost asked.

"You should know that we can't be stopped so easily," Strike said.

"I'm getting tired of you interfering with me," Frost growled.

"Oh, I'm so sorry," Specter said sarcastically.

Frost fired more icicles at Strike and Specter. But then Strike had suddenly raised his fist in the air. It was surrounded by blue energy. He then smashed his fist on the ground. Suddenly, a massive blue electric energy shield had appeared around the whole group. When the icicles hit the shield, they just burned away from the electricity.

"Sonic, if you've got any tricks up your sleeve, now's the time!" Strike said.

"You've got it!" Fire Sonic replied.

Fire Sonic quickly got in his Spin Dash position. Strike quickly made the shield disappear. Then in an instant second, Fire Sonic dashed at Frost and bashed her hard.

Frost growled in anger, "Now I'll freeze you for that!"

But Frost didn't know that Sonic still had his fire abilities. So thinking quickly, Fire Sonic used his firepower to throw a fire blast at Frost. Frost began to throw an ice-cold blast at Fire Sonic.

The beams made contact with each other. But Fire Sonic's fire was burning bright and hot, so his beam was stronger. It began to push Frost's beam back. Frost began to step back afraid.

Fire Sonic's fire blast finally pushed Frost back. She screamed in pain from the heat of the fire. Small bits of fire appeared on the ground. Fire Sonic then ran around the fires to put them out.

Frost was unconscious on the ground. Strike and Specter came to her. Specter put some sort of energy cuffs on her hands. Strike picked her up and held her.

"Thank you for your help, Sonic," Strike said, "This wouldn't have been easy without you."

"Sure," Fire Sonic said, "But let me ask, do you two still need time?"

"Unfortunately, yes," Specter answered.

"But like I said, we will talk when we're ready, okay?" Strike asked.

"Of course, Strike and Specter," Fire Sonic said.

Strike was surprised, "I didn't tell you my name."

"What are you now, psychic or something?" Specter jokingly asked.

"Frost told us," Rainbow said.

"Oh," Specter said, "Wait, what?"

Strike handed Frost to Specter and then walked over to Fire Sonic, "Sonic, next time you run into trouble, and you need help from us, then take this."

Strike gave Fire Sonic some kind of device. It was sphere shaped, and on the center was the Strike's symbol on it.

"Tape the symbol," Strike said, "It'll alert me, and we'll come to help you."

"You can thank me for making that," Specter called out.

"Obviously, he didn't," Strike said.

Fire Sonic thought for a moment, then nodded and put the device in his pocket, "All right, you can trust me. I'll leave you alone until you're ready to talk."

"Deal," Strike said.

Strike ran off with his speed with a loud dash sound. Specter saluted and he disappeared in red energy taking Frost with him. Fire Sonic's color scheme had then turned back to the original colors.

The girls had their armor and suits disappear, and each of them got into a kiss with their boyfriends. Then they all realized it was late, and they had really gone through enough.

"Okay," Sonic said, "Now we can head home."

Everyone else agreed. They all went to their homes to rest up for the night.

At Rainbow's home, Rainbow and Sunset was butting some bandages on their boyfriends' wounds and bruises.

"How are you feeling, Shadow?" Sunset asked.

"A lot better, thanks to you," Shadow said.

Sunset blushed but smiled. Rainbow had just finished putting bandages on Sonic. She then gave him a warm hug, which Sonic returned, "It's okay, Rainbow. I'll be fine."

"I know," Rainbow said, "I just felt worried."

Sonic and Rainbow gave each other a passionate kiss on the lips. Sunset just finished covering Shadow's last wound. Shadow gave Sunset a smile, which made her blush but smile as well.

When Sonic and Rainbow broke their kiss, Rainbow said, "Come on, let's get to bed."

The others nodded. They all walked upstairs to their rooms. Outside, from the window, Strike and Specter were looking at them. They each gave a slight smile.

"Man, I actually like the fact that they're together, don't you think?" Specter asked.

"Yeah," Strike said, "I just wish my girlfriend was still around."

"Me too," Specter said, "Me too."
