Reaper charged at Strike with his fire axe and swung it down at him, but Strike rolled back to avoid the attack. He then go right up and kicked Reaper back. Then he noticed that Sonic and the others were about to come and help, but Strike held out his hand to them, telling them to stay back.

Strike quickly moved off of the speed skating road. "Canterlot has only two laps to go, but it looks like Crystal Prep is making up for lost time," Candace announced.

Canterlot was on lap 5 and Crystal Prep was on lap 4. Then Lemon and Sunny got past Pinkie and Rarity and they were ahead in the lap. Lemon accidently kicked the pendant off the road. Twilight went to grab it while she had the chance.

Strike rushed right at Reaper with his speed. Reaper threw a wave of fire at Strike, but Strike did a side-flip flip high in the air throwing bolts of lightning at Reaper. Reaper turned into his fire form and dodged the bolts. When Strike landed right in front of Reaper, Reaper turned right back to his human form and tried to slash Strike with his axe, but Strike shoulder-rolled out of the way.

Right as Twilight was gonna grab her pendant, more portals began to open and a moving plant coming out of one of them got in her way. It tried to grab Twilight, but she quickly ducked her head at the last second.

Now CHS was at the same lap as Crystal Prep, lap 7, but they were behind.

"Come on!" Rarity said to Pinkie.

Rarity held her right leg to Pinkie, and Pinkie grabbed it. Rarity then swung her leg forward, giving Pinkie a boost of speed. Pinkie went fast, pushed Lemon and Sunny out of the way, and finished the lap.

"What a finish!" Cadance yelled as the final for both CHS and Crystal Prep were complete. Photo Finish took a picture.

Now, it was time for the final part of the Tri-Cross Relay, Motocross. Sunset, Rainbow, Sugarcoat, and Indigo revved up their motorcycles' engines, and they began to race down the ramp. They drove up the dirt hill.

Twilight tried to reach her pendant so she could close it, but a plant with a head grabbed her leg.

Rainbow drove up the dirt ramp over a pool of water and yelled in excitement, "AWESOME!"

More portals began to open up. Suddenly a large portal open and a large plant with a head roared. Rainbow made her bike go sideways to dodge the plant, and got back up.

"Whoa! Where are those things coming from?" Sonic asked.

Breeze looked and then noticed Twilight's open pendant, "GASP! Twilight's pendant is open! The magic it stole is going crazy!"

Reaper then grabbed Strike by his shirt and threw him right to one of the plants. The plant opened its mouth to try and eat Strike, but Strike threw an electric orb at the plant, destroying it. Strike then landed on the ground. He then took out his emblem as he zipped up his hoodie. He then placed the emblem on the center of his chest and activated it. It began to charge up his speed.

Strike then rushed right at Reaper with unbelievable speed. He kept running and stopping at different places around Reaper. Reaper was getting annoyed.

"Come on, fight me!" Reaper yelled.

Sunset revved up her bike and began to catch up to Sugarcoat, but the plant roared loudly. It grabbed Sugarcoat and her bike with its mouth. Sunset tried to carefully go sideways, but she fell over. The CHS students gasped in worry.

"Sunset!" Shadow yelled.

Shadow was gonna try to go help her, but Tails grabbed his shoulder and stopped him, "Shadow, it's fine, watch."

Indigo drove over the plant's head as it was munching on Sugarcoat's bike. She then landed right in front of Rainbow. Rainbow looked back and saw Sunset was in trouble. She came right to a halt and turned her bike around. She revved up the engine and drove up to help Sunset.

The plant destroyed Sugarcoat's bike in its mouth and Sugarcoat fell onto the ground. Rainbow drove right past her. Right as the plant was charging to eat Sunset, Rainbow grabbed her and put her on her bike. Shadow sighed in relief.

"Dash, you saved me," Sunset said.

"I wasn't about to let my friend become plant food," Rainbow said right as she began to glow bright blue.

Rainbow came right to a halt and got off her bike. She took off her helmet as she grew her pony ears, tail, and wings. Cinch gave a bank look at Celestia, and Celestia smiled nervously and shrugged her shoulders.

"We can still win this!" Rainbow said.

Rainbow flew to take care of the plant while Sunset took Rainbow's bike to finish the race. Twilight was trying to get the plant off her leg. Another plant was gonna grab her from behind, but Spike began to bite it to try and take its attention.

Indigo went over a ramp, but right as she reached the other side, another large plant head took itself out of the ground leaving a hole. Indigo accidently drove right into it. The plant was going to eat her, but Rainbow flew right past it drawing its attention.

Sunset went over the ramp and past Indigo. Indigo got herself out of the hole and drove to catch up. Another headed plant was after them. Right as it was about to catch them as they were jumping over a bunch of tires that were in the ground, Rainbow slammed herself right into it.

Strike saw the plant coming. He looked at Reaper and pointed at the plant with a smirk. "You know what mulch is, right? This won't hurt much," he said in sarcasm.

"Huh?" Reaper said as he turned around and saw the plant, "Hey, where'd you get that-"

The plant smashed right on top of Reaper, "AGGHH!"

Rainbow stood on the plant and Reaper. Sunset and Indigo revved right at the finish line with a rope. Sunset smirked while Indigo tried to go faster than her, but it was too late. Sunset crossed the line first.

"Canterlot wins!" Cadance announced.

The CHS students cheered while the Crystal Prep students were all angry and upset. Cadance saw that Cinch was mad, "Attention, students, please proceed to the gym."

Twilight rolled over a plant and grabbed her pendant. She shut it tight, and the plants and portals all disappeared. Everyone was about to get out of their seats, but then all of a sudden, a wall of fire appeared blocking the students' way.

Strike knew what was about to happen, "Uh-oh."

Reaper suddenly came right out of the ground shouting in anger, "RRRAAAAAAAGGHHH!"

Reaper's hair suddenly went on fire as he growled at Strike, "No one is going anywhere! Not until they watch as I destroy you!"

Reaper charged up a large orb of fire and he threw it at Strike. Strike tried to defend himself. But then, it seemed like it was cut in half and the flames faded away. Strike and Reaper looked and saw a red energy sword flying through the air and the handle was grabbed by Specter.

"You wanna get to him?" Specter asked, "You'll have to go through me first."

"So be it," Reaper growled.

Reaper created a sword of fire and charged at Specter yelled. Strike was going to help Specter, but then he suddenly became alert. He looked around the place, waiting for a surprise attack.

Then in slow motion, Rainbine was charging at Strike with intense speed from behind, but Strike suddenly turned around and caught her fist before it landed in his face.

Everyone gasped right as they saw Rainbine. "Hmph," Rainbine said, "I guess you're more faster than before."

"Rainbine, wait, I don't want to fight you," Strike said.

"You're surrendering?" Rainbine asked.

"Rainbine, please," Strike begged, "I want to help you. I just want to understand why you took my Sunset from me."

"Why should I listen to you?" Rainbine asked, "You want me to pay for what I've done."

"It isn't the way," Strike said, "I couldn't be able to control myself. It was this power inside of me that made me do such horrible things, but deep down, I knew it was wrong."

Rainbine thought about as Strike begged, "Rainbow… please… let me help you."

Rainbow was quiet for a moment, until her eyes glowed green, "I'm sorry, Strike. I have no choice."

Rainbine took out her arm cannon and blasted Strike away. Strike went flying right as the audience. The audience quickly moved out of the way so Strike wouldn't accidently crash into them. Strike then jumped off and saw Rainbine charging at him again.

"And I'm sorry too, Rainbine," Strike thought.

(Awake and Alive playing)

Right as Rainbine was about to attack, Strike did a backflip with a strong kick, launching Rainbine back. Rainbine stopped herself and saw Strike jumping in the air and rushing right at her. Rainbine dodged Strike and then took out her cannon. She began firing at Strike, but Strike kept dodging and blocking the bullets.

Strike threw a bolt of lightning at Rainbine, and Rainbine charged at it. She did a side-flip while grabbing the bolt and tossing it back at Strike. The bolt hit Strike hard in his chest and he yelled in pain. He fell onto his knees. Rainbine's cannon was then right in front of his face and was about to fire, but Strike quickly pushed it aside and punched Rainbine hard in the face.

Rainbine went sliding on the ground, making a trail of dirt. She neck kipped back onto her feet. She suddenly saw Strike running at her. They both began to try and punch and kick each other, but they both kept on dodging the attacks with no problem.

Specter flew right past them backwards, but landed on his feet. Reaper flew at him with his fire sword and slashed at him, but Specter blocked it with his energy sword. He pushed Reaper back and threw red energy orbs at him, but Reaper held his hand out and absorbed them. He then threw a wave of fire at Specter, but Specter created a red energy shield to cover himself as he vanished.

Specter appeared right behind Reaper and blasted him with his high tech pistols. Reaper yelled in pain from the blasts. He then turned right around and then slammed his fists on the ground, sending a large wave of fire. Specter flew over it and then fired a red energy bomb at Reaper. The blast pushed Reaper off and he hit the dirt hill.

Reaper growled as he got himself out of the dirt hill, "Now I've had it!"

Reaper held his hands in front of him and he began to create a fire scythe. He threw it really hard at Specter. Specter ducked his head backwards, and the scythe missed just by a fraction of a millimeter of his face, "WHOA!"

Specter stood straight up checking himself, "Let's see; two legs, two arms, chest, head… well, I'm alive."

"DODGE THIS!" Reaper shouted.

Reaper created a fire tornado and Specter was caught in it, "Whoa-whoa-whoa! AH! HOOOOOOOT!"

Strike rushed into the tornado and got Specter out. But once he put him down, Rainbine rushed right at Strike and gave him a strong kick, launching him into the archery area. Strike got up and noticed a bow and arrows. He grabbed them and fired them at Rainbine. Rainbine kept catching them and destroying them with her cannon. Then right as Strike used his last arrow, he instantly threw a bolt of lightning at Rainbine, and it hit her hard in the stomach.

Rainbine yelled in pain as she fell onto her knees. Reaper then grabbed Specter by the neck and began to choke him.

"Oh, no, choking! My one weakness! Not!" Specter said as he grabbed Reaper's head.

Specter suddenly electrocuted Reaper, making him yell. But then when he stopped, Reaper was more angry and his fire hair went brighter, "Big mistake, Specter."

Reaper shouted and threw arms out. Suddenly, a whole bunch of fireballs from the sky were coming down. Specter got back and covered himself, but the fireballs were really strong. They gave quite a bit of damage.

"Had enough?" Reaper asked smugly with a bunch of fireballs in the air around him.

"Not even close," Specter said.

Specter suddenly appeared right in front of Reaper, "Unlock power dampeners."

Specter's gauntlets suddenly began to glow bright purple. Reaper didn't see this before, "What the?"

In less than an instant, Specter gave Reaper a strong uppercut and sent him hurling back. When Reaper landed on the ground, he slowly got up groaning in pain.

"So, you had enough yet?" Specter asked.

Reaper slowly raised his head as his eyes went on fire, "Yes… OF YOU!"

Reaper created a fire bow and arrow and aimed right at Specter. He released the arrow firing it. It spun in the air creating a vortex of fire, which followed the arrow. Specter reached out and caught the arrow, but the flames covered him, "AAAAAGGGHHH!"

When the flames went out, Specter was still standing, but he was really hurt. Reaper said, "Oh, don't worry. Your end will be painless. But first…"

Reaper turned his attention to Strike. Strike just kicked Rainbine back into the ground. Rainbine groaned in pain.

"Rainbow, please…" Strike said, "I don't want to kill you."

"Well," Reaper said, "You don't have to. Because I will kill you."

Reaper took out another fire arrow and put it on his bow. He began to pull it back and aim at Strike, "Since you can control fire, which is impressive, let's see if you… can STOP THIS!"

The flames on the bow and arrow grew as Reaper shouted with an echo, "FIRE GOD ELEMENTAL DRAGON ATTACK!"

Reaper released the arrow, and it suddenly turned to two giant fire dragons. They roared as they went in circles charging at Strike.

Rainbine suddenly shouted, "Reaper, NO!"

Strike was preparing himself for the attack. Sonic and the other Mobians and heroes were about to help him, but then Sonic said, "Wait! Look!"

Strike removed his emblem and threw it aside. Then as he unzipped his hoodie, the symbol on his very shirt began to glow bright blue. Strike began to reach behind him, and then as he clenched his fist, it touched something invisible. Then Strike began to pull it out like a sword. It was a sword, but it was made of bright blue electricity.

Strike flipped the sword and shouted, "SPEED FORCE GOD DRAGON SWORD!"

Strike's Speed Force sword created two large dragons made out of pure energy and electricity. He swung the sword forward, forcing his dragons at Reaper's dragons. Reaper gasped in shock, "WHAT!?"

Strike's dragons and Reaper's dragons all went around Strike. Strike was controlling them with his sword. Then Strike held up his sword and the dragons glowed and began to enter the sword. Strike then held his hand at Reaper, and Reaper was being lifted into the air surrounded by blue electric energy.

Strike then held his sword and aimed at Reaper. "FIRE SPEED FORCE GOD DRAGON BLAST!"

A massive blast of fire and blue electricity and energy fired out of Strike's sword and blasted Reaper hard. The blast was so large, powerful, and strong, Reaper couldn't resist it. He yelled in utter pain.

When Strike finally stopped blasting Reaper, Reaper fell onto the ground. He was on his knees panting in utter exhaustion.

(End of soundtrack)

The firewall that was trapping the students was gone. Everyone turned to Strike and looked at his sword. Strike looked at his sword himself and saw it forming into a real looking sword with the design of blue lightning and a dragon on it.

"Whoa," Strike said in amazement.

Sonic, the Mobians, the other heroes, and the girls all came to Strike.

"Strike, how did you do that?" Sonic asked as he then noticed the sword, "Whoa, what is that?"

Strike could feel the sword's power coursing inside him. He turned to his friends and answered, "The Speed Force Sword."

"I can't believe it," Shadow said, "You defeated Red Reaper. Vezon was right about you."

"Yeah," Strike agreed, "I am a god. The God of the Speed Force."

Strike then began to form something. He formed a brown and silver sword holster for his sword with a brown rope that had his symbol on it, and the cool thing was, it was one the exact spot of where they symbol on his shirt was.

Strike put his sword in the holster. It made a bit of electric sparks and blue energy, but it seemed like a cool feature.

Everyone then looked and saw Reaper was still on his knees while panting, "I don't understand. Only a god has the power to control the Elemental Dragons."

Reaper looked at Strike and asked, "Who… are… you?"

Strike reached into his pocket and took out a beam sword hilt. He was suddenly right in front of Reaper with his beam sword activated and the blade was right near his throat. Everyone gasped in shock.

"Brother, what are you doing?!" Breeze shouted.

"Do it then, kill me," Reaper said closing his eyes ready for it.

Strike's eyes then glowed bright blue and his vision had changed. He could now see through and inside Reaper's body. He noticed there was something on the back of his neck. He looked around and saw it was a small device on his neck. He held his hand out, and the tip of his fingers glowed bright blue with a little flicker of electricity. The device was shut off, and it let go of Reaper falling onto the ground.

Reaper gasped as Strike turned off his beam sword and put it away, "No. I will not grant you the death you wish for. You still have a purpose in this life… friend."

Reaper looked up at Strike. It seemed like he had come back to his senses, "S-Strike? W… What happened?"

"You were under my father's control," Strike said, "But I got you out."

Strike held his hand to Reaper. Reaper smiled and grabbed Strike's hand and Strike stood him up. They went to the others.

"Reaper, you okay?" Specter asked.

"I'm fine," Reaper said, "Thanks to Strike."

Strike smiled, "No problem."

Celestia, Luna, Cadance, and Cinch came to everyone. "Is everyone all right?" Celestia asked.

Rainbow landed between the other girls and Mobians, "Better than all right. We won!"

Sunset pulled her helmet off of her head, "Yeah, we won. But someone could've been seriously hurt. The magic is going haywire, and I have no idea how to fix it!"

"Um, excuse me…" someone said.

Everyone turned and saw Twilight holding her pendant. "I didn't mean for any of this to happen. I just wanted to learn about the strange energy coming from your school. I didn't know that it was magic or how it works."

Rainbow walked towards Twilight, "That's okay. Neither do we."

Sonic suddenly realized what was just about to happen, "GASP! Rainbow, you're getting too close!"

Twilight's pendant suddenly turned back on and began to pull Rainbow's magic away, "Oh no! No-no-no! NOT AGAIN!"

Rainbow groaned in pain as her pony ears, tail, and wings disappeared. She fell onto her knees feeling exhausted.

Twilight tried to close her pendant, "I'm sorry! It just started absorbing energy on its own! But I'm not sure how!"

"What do you mean, you don't know how!?" Sunset yelled angrily at Twilight.

Another spark went out of Twilight's pendant and another portal opened up high in the sky. All the other students ran inside the school to the gym, but the principles stayed and watched.

"It also causes these corresponding rifts to appear," Twilight said, "I don't know how that works either."

"Is there anything you DO know?" Sunset asked, "Like how to get our magic back? Or how to fix the portal to Equestria?"

"Equestria?" Twilight asked.

"You're supposed to be so smart, but did you ever think you shouldn't be messing around with things you don't understand?" Sunset asked angrily as she shut Twilight's pendant.

The portal in the sky disappeared. "But I want to understand!" Twilight said.

"But you DON'T!" Sunset yelled in rage at Twilight, "And worst of all, you put the lives of my friend in DANGER!"

Twilight was in tears, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to."

Twilight ran away sobbing. Spike ran after her, "Twilight, wait!"

Shadow put his hand on Sunset's shoulder, and Sunset realized what he had done. She felt really bad and face palmed in sadness.

Cinch turned to Celestia, "You can't possibly call that a fair race."

"Principle Cinch, we all saw what happened," Celestia said, "You can't think CHS has some kind advantage."

"Can't I?" Cinch asked, "Even without your trained attack plants, your students have wings. Not to mention that these girls' boyfriends have powers."

"We're not even in the competition," Sonic said.

"Whatever," Cinch said.

"Well, the race certainly had some extenuating circumstances," Celestia said, "Perhaps we should end the games now and declare a tie?"

"A tie?" Cinch asked, "Was this your strategy all along? To force us into accepting you as equals? I think not. The games will continue, and Crystal Prep will prevail despite your efforts and whatever performing-enhancing regimen your students are on."

Cinch walked away. Sunset said sadly, "I'm sorry I couldn't stop all this from happening."

"It's not your fault, Sunset," Celestia said.

"Isn't it?" Sunset asked, "I should know how the control the magic I brought here, but I don't. I let everyone down. And now Principle Cinch thinks we're cheating!"

Celestia put her hand on Sunset's shoulder, "It doesn't matter what Principle Cinch thinks."

"But it does," Sunset said, "The students here CHS don't just want to win. They want to beat Crystal Prep. It isn't gonna count if the other side doesn't really think they've lost. Crystal Prep is never gonna believe we won fair and square if there's magic around. And that magic is only around… because of me."

"Sunset…" Sonic said, "Don't say that. That wasn't you. It was that madness that was inside of you."

Sunset had tears of sadness in her eyes. Shadow brought her into a soft, caring hug as she began to sob.

"Shh, it's all right, Sunset," Shadow said, "It's gonna be all right."

Even though some things seemed to be okay, it didn't last long.

"Have you forgotten about something?" a familiar cyborg female voice asked.

Everyone turned and saw Rainbine with a smirk, "You may have freed Reaper, but I've brought some friends."

Everyone looked and saw flying objects coming down and landing next to Rainbine; Hijacker, Ghost, and worse… Metal Sonic.

Sonic growled, "It's Metal."

Metal chuckled at Sonic, "Hello, Sonic. Hasn't been too long since our last fight, has it?"

"You just won't stop, will you?" Sonic asked.

"Not until you're out of the way," Metal answered, "Oh, and by the way, we'd like you and your friends to meet our master…"

Suddenly, a dark red mist appeared right behind the villains. It was Strafe. Strafe looked at his son Strike, "Hey there, son. I'm glad to see you're all right."

"What do you want with me, Father?" Strike asked.

"Son, I don't want to fight you," Strafe said, "I just want you to come home. Listen to me, I may have Speed Force powers, but it made me sick."

Strike was surprised as his dad continued, "Please, I need a sample of your DNA to cure me. And once you've done that, you must go back in time and save your mother."

"Why would you do this if all you wanted was me?" Strike said.

"I didn't know what else to do," Strafe said, "I just want you to fix our family. And I know the reason why all this happened."

"The reason why all what happened?" Sonic asked.

"The reason why you came to this world, Sonic," Strake said, "Because Strike changed the timeline."

Everyone looked at Strike with a shocked face. "He did what?" Applejack asked.

"He went back in time and created another timeline," Strafe said, "You see, about a day after he saved our world from the alien invasion, he wasn't in a good space because they took his mother from him. So he went back and changed the timeline so his mother was alive. But he soon realized that it was a mistake, so he went back in time again and let the time go the way it originally did, but what he didn't know was that he caused a little side effect, which I think you can guess what it is."

"Strike," Rainbow said, "Is that true?"

Strike sighed, "Yes."

"So, when you did that, that's what made me want to create that dimensions machine in the first place?" Tails asked.

Strike nodded. So now everyone knew that Strike was the reason that Sonic and his friends came to this world.

Strafe spoke, "Son, please, don't make this any worse then it has to be, just cure me and go back to rescue your mother and bring her to the present."

Strike stayed silent, and then he answered, "I can't go back and bring her here. The timeline would alter so much."

Strafe sighed, "Then you leave me no choice."

Strafe held out his arm and pressed a button on a gauntlet on his arm. Then all of a sudden, a whole bunch of machines landed right around Strafe; Meta-bots.

"My gosh," Specter said, "The Meta-bots."

"And I have another recruit," Strafe said.

A male teenager walked around from behind Strafe. He had beige tan skin, shamrock green hair, and cobalt blue eyes. He was wearing an emerald green overcoat, a lime green shirt with the symbol of a tornado on the chest, pecan brown pants, and fire yellow shoes.

Specter gasped, "Windstorm. I wonder what happened to you."

"Nice to see you too, old friend," Windstorm said.

Shadow grabbed the chest that had the Chaos Emeralds. He opened them and threw the to the girls except the purple because the Twilight they knew wasn't around.

Rainbow, Sunset, Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie, and Applejack morphed into the Chaos Ranger forms. "Ah, the Chaos Emeralds," Strafe said, "So that's how you have these powers. This will be interesting."

"Guys, this could be tricky," Spider said.

"Oh, you have no idea," Windstorm chuckled.

Sonic made the choices. "Strike, Specter, Rainbow, we'll handle Strafe, Rainbine, Ghost, and Metal. Tails and Fluttershy, you take care of Windstorm. Knuckles and Applejack, you take Hijacker. The rest of you take out the Meta-Bots."

Everyone nodded. "A good choice," Strafe said, "I've always had a big interest in your brilliance. Unlike a certain phasing guy I know."

"Which genius do you mean?" Specter asked, "And for 'phasing guy', do you mean Ghost, who's totally lame, or me, who's totally awesome?"

Strafe answered, "I'm talking about a certain little punk like you, Specter. And you are far from a genius."

Specter's jaw dropped right to the ground. Then he pulled it back up, "Okay, that's crossing the line."

"Sonic," Strike said, "What do we do?"

Sonic answered, "We fight."
