Strike had set up a tent and a campfire in the mountains in the forest. He was cooking some fish that he caught from a river.

"Why?" Strike asked himself, "Why was I given this power if I'm a monster? I'm not a hero. I don't deserve to be one."

Strike placed his hands on his face and sighed sadly. Meanwhile, Strafe's ship was now on this world high in space. The villains were discussing Strafe's plan.

"I wanted to help him," Strafe said, "I wanted to fix him, but is he grateful? Does he appreciate my advice? No. He refuses, argues, and sides with those teenagers."

Strafe sighed and said to his crew, "If Strike prefers horror and chaos, then I will give it to him. Canterlot City of the world, I will flatten it, and wipe out all of life living on this planet. Then, I will recreate this world with Strike's power in my own image."

Everyone nodded and went to prepare themselves for the battle. Rainbine just stood by the window looking over the world with a sad face.

Ghost walked over to Rainbine, "Why the sad face?"

"You don't need to know," Rainbine said not looking at Ghost.

"I'm guessing it has something to do with Strike," Ghost asked.

Ghost stood next to Rainbine, "Or perhaps what happened to Specter."

Rainbine sighed, "Why, Ghost?"

"Why what?" Ghost asked, "Is the world turning to chaos as we speak?"

"No," Rainbine said, "I mean, why did you make me take our Sunset from Strike? She never deserved to die."

Ghost just sighed, "Well, I guess now is as good as any time to tell you to truth."

Rainbine crossed her arms, "I'm listening."

Ghost explained, "It was all Claw who started this. It all started when Claw asked me to take her out myself. But I refused. I felt that if I tried, Strike would take me out with no problem. Then he asked me to make you take Sunset from him. It was either her who would die, or it would be me."

Rainbine sighed again, "I guess it makes sense."

Rainbine turned away again, "I never wanted any of this. I was jealous of him being with her, but deep inside I was happy and I felt that they were meant to be together."

Rainbine turned back and spoke, "I let myself believe that we were making things better. But we're not. I can't do this anymore."

Rainbine then began to walk away, "I'm done."

"With what?" Ghost asked, "This life?"

"With being this way," Rainbine answered, "This time, I'm gonna make things right, and you're not gonna stop me."

Rainbine was about to exit the door, but then it suddenly shut. Rainbine saw that Windstorm closed it.

"Aw, you aren't abandoning us now, are you?" Windstorm asked.

"Open the door," Rainbine growled, "Now. Or else."

"Or else what?" Windstorm asked.

Rainbine suddenly had her arm cannon out and fired it at Windstorm. Windstorm was blasted into a table.

"That," Rainbine said as her cannon disappeared.

Rainbine's earpieces glowed green as the controls on the wall for the door opened. She hacked into the system. The door opened. Rainbine was about to walk about, but then Windstorm got up and threw a blast of wind at Rainbine, sending her into the wall. Windstorm then ran up to Rainbine and wrapped his arm tightly around her neck.

"You can't overpower me, Rainbine," Windstorm said.

"Maybe not," Rainbine said, "But he can."

Windstorm looked and saw Ghost had purple energy surrounded his hands.

"Windstorm, that's enough. Let her go," Ghost said, "We're leaving."

"I can't let you," Windstorm said.

Ghost turned to complete purple energy and disappeared. He reappeared right behind Windstorm and got hold of his arms. Rainbine got up and had her cannon out again. She aimed at Windstorm and the end of the barrel began to glow bright green.

"I'm sorry," Rainbine said as her green electricity crackled.

Ghost kept Windstorm where he was. He had his arms in a tight grip. Windstorm groaned in pain, "If you do this… everyone will never stop being afraid of you two."

"We can't control their fear," Ghost said.

"Only our own," Rainbine said as he cannon was completely charged.

Ghost instantly went into his ghost form and Rainbine fired her cannon. It made a massive green electric energy blast and when it hit Windstorm, he shouted in utter pain as he turned to dust.

Rainbine panted in exhaustion from the amount of power she used for that attack. "Well, looks like Windstorm is now Dust-storm."

"We've gotta get out of here," Rainbine said.

Ghost nodded. He and Rainbine went to what looked like a round teleporter in the middle one of the rooms of the ship. They went inside and the glass door shut. Ghost had set the teleporter for their destination. They teleported away.

Back to Strike, he just ate his food and put out his campfire. He was going to enter his tent, but before he opened it, he heard a voice from behind him, "Here you are, brother. We've been looking for you."

Strike turned and saw that his brother, his friends and the Mobians except Sonic and the girls were there.

"Why are you all here?" Strike asked, "Go stop dad. It's not my fight."

"Strike, come on, we need you," Spider said, "We can't do this without you."

"I would only make things worse," Strike said.

"That was never you," Tails said.

"Either me or Vezon, I can't be a hero," Strike said.

"Strike, you need to stop beating yourself up for this," Silver said.

Strike face palmed, "Okay, how can you say something like that? I'm the reason all of this has happened."

"Maybe, maybe not," Shadow said.

"Why do you want me to come back?" Strike said, "After everything I've done?"

"You were always a hero and a great friend," Reaper said, "That doesn't mean you should change. Not now, not ever."

"It doesn't matter what you've done," Manic said, "What does matter is we must work together to stop all of this."

Strike thought about this as his friends continued. "This can be your chance to prove that you can be the hero you always wished to be," Ant said.

"And we can do all of it together," Tails said.

Strike was silent for a moment, until he sighed and smiled, "Thank you."

Everyone smiled as well. "Then I guess you do want to understand," a very familiar cyborg voice said.

Everyone turned and saw Rainbine and Ghost come out from behind the trees. Everyone got right in a fighting stance, but then Strike had his hand in front of them, "Wait."

Strike asked, "Are you hear to tell us?"

Rainbine and Ghost sighed, "Yes."

"Tell us what?" Shadow asked.

"The whole reason about why I took your Sunset from you, Strike," Rainbine said.

Strike nodded as he and the others listened. Rainbine explained, "You see, I was jealous that you were dating her, Strike. But deep down I was really happy. Honestly, I was. But then, Ghost drugged me into making me hurt her. But it wasn't out of his will."

Ghost continued for her, "It's true. Claw wanted me to take her out, but I refused, because I felt that you would come for me and kill me. So he ordered me to alter her mind to believe that she was fighting you. Choosing between my life and hers, and I wanted to try and live an amazing life, I had no other choice."

Strike sighed, "Why didn't you tell me this before? I would've listened to you if you had just said."

"We were afraid that you would just attack us," Rainbine said, "We're really sorry."

"Well, I was just afraid," Ghost said.

Strike nodded, "It's okay. I forgive you."

Rainbine and Ghost went wide-eyed. "Really?" Rainbine asked.

Strike smiled, "Yes."

Rainbine felt tears of joy in her eyes. She walked over to Strike and gave him a bright friendship hug. Strike smiled and hugged her back.

Ghost then spoke, "Strike, there's something I have to tell you."

"Yes?" Strike asked.

"This is something I should've told you and Specter about long ago," Ghost said, "Before I made Rainbine take your Sunset from you, deep down, I wanted to stop being a criminal and have friends, because I've been alone my whole life. That was when I had an idea. Somehow, I learned how to make a device that would send people to the Speed Force. Here, let me show you."

Ghost held out his hand and purple energy formed surrounded it. An energy screen appeared in the air in front of everyone. It showed Strike's Sunset on the ground badly wounded. Past Strike had just left with his fury and anger. Bu then, Past Ghost came to her. He bent down to check on her, Sunset's head moved slightly as she moaned.

The heroes and Mobians gasped, "She was still alive?" Strike asked.

"Yeah," Ghost said, "The drug didn't make Rainbine eager enough to kill her. She just had so much damage, she passed out."

On the screen, Past Ghost put his hand and pulled out… a 1-Up Mushroom from the Mushroom Kingdom. He then took Sunset's hands and made them touch the mushroom. Sunset then glowed bright green for a second as the 1-Up sigh was above her for a moment. Her wounds had completely healed, but she was still unconscious.

"That was when I sent to the Speed Force for her to rest until you had discovered her," Ghost said.

Past Ghost then took out what looked like a gauntlet and attacked it to Sunset's arm, "Don't worry, Sunset. I promise Strike will save you again like he always has. He loves you."

Ghost activated the device. Sunset's body was then surrounded by bright white electricity and then he disappeared. She was sent to the Speed Force. And then the screen disappeared.

"All this time," Strike said, "She was alive and in the Speed Force?"

"Yeah," Ghost said, "I guess your anger had you out of your focus."

Rainbine spoke, "We're gonna help you stop Strafe."

"But why did he become this way?" Strike asked.

"He was really upset because your mother was gone," Ghost said, "And eventually he became obsessed with your skills in creating unbelievable tech. He thought you were trying to get more attention from people than he could."

"I guess I misjudged him," Strike said.

"Well, now that that's over, we should get ourselves prepared," Silver said.

"You go ahead," Ghost said, "There's something Rainbine and I have to do first. And Strike, I promise, once this is all over, we'll get your girlfriend out of there."

Strike smiled, "Thank you."

Rainbine rushed off with her speed while Ghost used his jet shoes to fly off and follow her.

"So what do we do?" Knuckles asked, "The others are still doing the final event."

Strike just then gasped as he felt something like a vibe. Everything around him was flashing blue. All of a sudden, he was somewhere else. He was at Canterlot High. He saw all of the students of CHS and Crystal Prep were there, but there were purple rifts opening up in the air and everyone was getting attacked.

Strike was then right back to where he was. "Whoa, Strike, you okay?" Breeze asked.

"I… I just had a vision," Strike said.

"You what?" Shadow asked.

"What did you see?" Silver asked.

"I saw…" Strike then instantly figured out what was happening, "THE STUDENTS AT CRYSTAL PREP ARE UNLEASHING THE MAGIC TWILIGHT STOLE! SHE'S IN TROUBLE!"

Everyone gasped in shock. "We need to get back now!" Tails yelled, "Shadow!"

Shadow nodded as he quickly took out the purple Emerald, "Chaos Control!"

The Mobains and heroes all disappeared to Canterlot High to stop the magic from unleashing.

Meanwhile, Sonic was unconscious. He felt himself lying on the ground feeling dizzy. But he was slowly waking up. As he did, he could hear multiple voices all around him and a few of them sounded really familiar.

"Look, he's waking up," one female voice said. That sounded like Twilight.

"You sure he's Sonic?" another female voice asked. That sounded like Applejack.

"Looks like him to me," another said and that sounded like Rainbow Dash.

Sonic slowly opened his eyes. When he looked, he eyes went wide in surprise. A whole army of ponies surrounded him. They all had different colors. Some had horns, some had wings, and some had neither.

Sonic slowly sat up, "Uh, what's going on here?"

Suddenly when Sonic saw his hand, it had his regular glove on and it looked like his hedgehog hand. Sonic suddenly realized that he was in his Mobian form again.

"Huh? What's-?" Sonic stammered until…

"S… Sonic?" a voice in front of him said, "I… is that really you?"

Sonic looked and saw that standing in front of him was a lavender purple female pony with wings and a horn. She had dark berry blue hair and tail with two streaks; one violet purple and the other magenta pink, violet purple eyes, and the symbol of a pinkish purple starburst on the side with five small white stars around it on its flank.

The pony looked really familiar to Sonic, "T-Twilight? Princess Twilight?"

"Sonic!" Twilight said in excitement, "It is you!"

Twilight hugged Sonic, which surprised him a little, but he smiled and hugged her back. When Twilight stopped Sonic asked, "Twilight, where am I?"

"You're in my home," Twilight said, "You're in Equestria. This is my hometown, Ponyville."

Sonic got up and looked around. All of the other ponies were looking at him. Sonic could see all of Equestria around him, "Whoa, what a peaceful place."

Sonic then noticed a large crystal castle a little close to Ponyville from behind, "Whoa, is that your castle?"

"Yep," Twilight asked, "You like it?"

Sonic nodded, "Yeah, I sure do."

Sonic then remembered something. "Hey, Twilight, since I'm here, I think I may need your help with something."

"Uh-huh," Twilight said.

"Do you still have your Element of Harmony?" Sonic asked.

"Actually, how about my friends and I show you where all of the Elements are?" Twilight asked.

Sonic, Twilight, her friends, as well as their new friend, Starlight Glimmer walked through the Everfree Forest to Princess Celestia and Luna's old castle. They went down the stair that let to a small cave.

When they went inside, they all witness something that made Sonic amazed, "Whoa."

Inside the cave was a sparkling white crystal tree with the symbol of a sun and a moon on the trunk. On the branches were… the Elements of Harmony while the Element of Magic was at the center of the tree.

"This is the Tree of Harmony," Twilight said.

Sonic felt like he was somehow connected to the tree. He slowly walked towards it. He slowly reached his hand out to touch it. Right as his fingers tapped the tree, it suddenly glowed brightly. Sonic backed up immediately. Then all of a sudden, a hole appeared in the ground and something was coming out of it. It was a bright white crystal sword with six different colored stones on it and it was mounted in a stone.

"Whoa," the ponies all said.

Sonic approached the sword slowly and took a look at it, "This must be for the one who is destined to be the next master of the Magic of Friendship."

Sonic turned to the ponies, "What do you think? Should I try it?"

"Go for it," Rainbow said.

"You can do it," Applejack said.

"You deserve it, darling," Rarity said.

"You're our hero," Fluttershy said.

"Get it, Sonic!" Pinkie said.

"Be the hero you want to be," Starlight said.

"And save the multiverse," Twilight said.

Sonic nodded and turned his attention back to the sword. He took a deep breath, "Here goes nothing."

Sonic grabbed the holster of the sword and it began to glow brightly. Sonic took another deep breath and then pulled the sword out of the stone. It glowed brightly as Sonic held it.

Then the sword turned into colorful energy and transferred into Sonic. Sonic now realized something, "With this power from the Elements, I can summon my Harmonic for again. And I might even know how to travel back to Canterlot High."

The ponies cheered in excitement. Sonic then began to walk out, "Thanks, Twilight, I'll take if from here."

"Wait," Twilight said, "Won't you need my help?"

"I think my friends and I can handle our problems," Sonic said.

Sonic came out of the cave and got back up to the forest. He held his hand out and focused his power. Bright rainbow energy surrounded his hand. Then it shot a little rainbow laser and a portal opened up. it was his way back to Canterlot High.

Sonic was about to jump through, someone spoke from behind, "Sonic."

Sonic turned and saw Twilight. "Just before you go, there's something I want to give you for luck."

"What's that?" Sonic asked.

"Don't tell your Rainbow I did this," Twilight said as she blushed and her horn glowed bright purple with sparkles.

"Huh?" Sonic asked before he realized purple magic energy was surrounding him. He was instantly pulled towards Twilight. Twilight then closed her eyes and kissed Sonic on the lips, making him wide-eyed in surprise and blush deeply, but then he relaxed and kissed her back.

When Twilight broke the kiss, Sonic smiled still blushing, "Thank, Princess Twilight."

Twilight giggled, "No problem. Good luck."

Back at the other world, the Mobians and heroes were running back to Canterlot High with high speed. They could see a bright flash of light coming from it.

"Oh, no!" Strike yelled, "We're too late!"

They all came to the front yard where everyone else was, including the girls, the Crystal Prep girls and Cinch, and Twilight in the very middle. Her pendant was open and all the magic that she stole was making an orb of power that grew. The pendant dropped onto the ground as Twilight began to float in the air and the orb of magic was sucking her into it.

Strike yelled at Cinch, "Cinch! What did you do!?"

"I… I…" Cinch stammered.

Twilight yelled as she got sucked into the orb, "HELP ME! AHH!"

The orb of magic had Twilight inside. It suddenly flashed at Twilight began to transform inside. When the magic orb disappeared, Twilight was in a big change. Her hair was pointing upward, she had some kind of damaged-looking bright pale green horn on her forehead, she had some kind of green energy glasses while the whiteness of her eyes had turned mint green and glowed. She was wearing a dress that was in the mixture of almost all types of purple and some stars on the skirt, boysenberry purple fingerless lower arm length gloves, and boysenberry heel shoes. She even eggplant purple wings on her back that looked like wings from an eagle.

"What's going on?!" Silver asked.

"Crystal Prep wanted Twilight to use our magic to win the games!" Rarity said.

"But now she's out of control!" Pinkie exclaimed.

Twilight laughed evilly, "You were right. I didn't understand magic before. But I do now!"

Twilight shot a blue laser at the horse on the Wondercolt Statue. It broke apart into pieces. Then a portal to Equestria had opened.

"Equestria!" Sunset yelled.

Twilight began to open portals everywhere around the school. She was destroying the world to get to Equestria. The students all tried to run, but the portals all kept popping out of nowhere, blocking their paths.

Sunny noticed Cinch was trying to leave, "Hey! Where are you going?"

"Anywhere to avoid that monster!" Cinch said as she ran off, "And I suggest you do the same."

Sunset yelled at Twilight, "Twilight, you can't do this!"

"Why not?" Twilight laughed, "There's a whole other world right there, and it's just filled with magic!"

"But Twilight, you're destroying this world to get it!" Strike said.

"I… am… Midnight Sparkle!" Twilight, now known as Midnight yelled, "And so what? There's more magic there. And I want to understand it all!"

Midnight shot a massive blue laser at the ground. A giant hole/portal to Equestria opened. The ground cracked around it. Some of the students were about to fall in, but the Mobains, girls, and heroes all went to help them.

"Don't let go!" Applejack said as she tried to pull up Tennis Match.

Sugarcoat, Indigo, Sunny, Sour, and Lemon nodded to each other to help. Rarity was trying to pull up Velvet and Fliur Dis Lee, but it was really hard, and she was about to fall down.

"Rarity, hang on!" Silver said.

"Obviously!" Rarity yelled.

Rarity couldn't hold onto the edge of the hole any longer and she began to fall, but then Indigo and Lemon grabbed her arm to pull her, Fliur and Velvet up, "We got you!"

Sunset found Twilight's pendant and picked it up. She then noticed something it was making a glow showing what it was pointing at. It was looking at Fluttershy. Fluttershy then began to glow bright yellow. The pendant then showed another direction and Rarity began to glow. All of the Mane 5 began to glow their colors, and Sunset suddenly found out how to stop this.

"This isn't the way!" Sunset said to Midnight, "I know you feel powerful right now! Like you can have everything you want! I've been where you are! I've made the same mistake you're making! I put on a crown, and just like you, I was overwhelmed by the magic it contained. I thought it could get me everything I wanted."

"Oh, you're wrong," Midnight smirked, "Unlike you, I can have everything I want!"

"No, you can't!" Sunset said as she held the pendant in the air, "Even with all of that magic and power, you'll still be alone! True magic comes from honestly…"

Applejack's hair suddenly went upwards as her magic transferred up into the air.

"Loyalty," then Rainbow's hair went up and her magic transferred into the air.

"Laughter," next Pinkie's hair went up and her magic went into the air.

"Generosity," now Rarity's hair went up and her magic went into the air.

"Kindness," and last, but certainly not least, Fluttershy's hair went up and her magic transferred into the air.

The Mane 5's magic soon began to transfer straight into the pendant, and Sunset was slowly hovering into the air.

"I understand you, Twilight," Sunset said, "And I want to show you the most important magic of all-"

Sunset closed the pendant and then she threw it to the ground. Another orb of magic appeared and grew. Sunset let it take her inside. Then she had a beautiful new look. Her hair was upward, she had a streak of rose red across her eyes on her face, and a long, bright gold horn on her forehead. She was wearing a blush-watermelon pink, pale sky blue and white dress, mint green fingerless gloves, a bracelet with a bright red and yellow shimmering sun on her upper arms, and merigold slipper-armor shoes with the same shimmering sun on them. She also had gold energy wings on her back.

"The Magic of Friendship," Sunset, now know as Daydream Shimmer said.

Her friends all smiled at her. Daydream held out her hands and shot gold lasers out of them closing all the portals, but the one in the ground. Midnight growled as she charged at Daydream. Daydream and Midnight's attacks collided with each other with a bright flash. They were both pushed back.

Daydream and Midnight charged up their power and shot beams of power at each other. Midnight's was really strong and she laughed evilly.

Everyone thought Midnight was going to beat her, but then Spike called at Midnight, "Twilight!"

When Midnight saw Spike, he had a really sad and worried look on his face. "Spike…" Midnight said as her eyes were normal.

Daydream now had the advantage. She beam grew and blasted Midnight, "NOOOOOO!"

Midnight suddenly saw that she and Daydream were in a bright beam of light. Daydream held her hand to her, "Take me hand, Twilight. Let me show you there's another way. Just like someone once did for me."

Twilight hesitated, but then her tears came as she took Sunset's hand. Sunset's magic transferred into her, and Twilight's Midnight horn disappeared. The bright beam of light slowly began to shrink as Twilight and Sunset were slowly hovering to the ground. When the beam disappeared, the hole in the ground was gone, and Sunset and Twilight were back to normal. The magic and the portal to Equestria were restored.

"I'm so sorry," Twilight said, "I didn't mean for any of this to happen."

"I know," Sunset said, "And going by my own experiences, they'll forgive you."

Sunset took Twilight's hands, and Twilight smiled. Spike then jumped onto Twilight with her glasses, and Twilight giggled.

Cinch came out of hiding from behind the Crystal Prep bleachers and spoke angrily at Celestia, "Principle Celestia! On behalf of Crystal Prep, I demand that you forfeit the Friendship Games! Clearly CHS has had some unfair advantage for quite some time, and it's certainly obvious that your students have been using magic and power for their own benefit."

"I'd like to think that saving the world benefits us all," Celestia said.

"At least they didn't manipulate Twilight by turning her into releasing the stolen magic and turning into a power-crazed magical creature that tried to rip the world apart just to win a game," Sugarcoat said in a single breath.

"Wow, that's a lot to take in when you say it all at once," Pinkie said.

"That's ridiculous!" Cinch yelled.

"Nope, that's pretty much what happened," Spike spoke.

Cinch was surprised. "Actually, we're all to blame," Sour said, but then she was about to put most of it on Twilight when Manic cut her off. By putting his hand in front of her.

"Don't," Manic said.

Cinch turned back to Celestia, "Obviously, my students have been infected with your magic, but I plan on taking all of this up with the school board!"

"Good," Celestia smirked, "I'm sure they would be very interested in hearing all about the magical students with wings."

"Oh, and the portals to different dimensions," Luna added.

"And don't forget to tell them about the talking dag," Cadance giggled.

"Because that would never ruin your reputation," Spike said.

Cinch looked around and saw that Sunset, Shadow, Twilight, Spike, Manic, Pinkie, Silver, Rarity, Rainbow, Tails, Fluttershy, Knuckles, Applejack, Strike, Breeze, Spider, Ant, Reaper, Ghostspeed, Sour, Sugarcoat, Indigo, Lemon, Sunny, and yet everyone from both Canterlot High and Crystal Prep were all standing together against Cinch.

Cinch was getting full of anger, but then she gave up and walked away.

"Well, I know these Friendship Games haven't been what any of us expected," Celestia said, "but give what we've all just been through, I think it's fair to declare us all winners."

Everyone cheered. "I can't believe it," Breeze said, "So Crystal Prep actually accepts CHS as their friend?"

"You bet we do," Indigo said.
