Unfriendly Company

A gentle breeze sweeps across the landscape as an elderly grey earth pony with an image of a watch and a set of gears as his cutie mark. Stands on a large stone platform of a large train station, dressed in a standard engineer outfit. He lets out a heavy sigh as he removes a gold watch from his pocket and looks at it. “It’s running late again.” He tucks the watch back into his pocket and lets out a sigh.

“I know I’m going to get in trouble for this again. Everypony always blames Tick Tock”

A sudden boom rattles the train platform; sending the elderly stallion tumbling backwards. Sonic appears in a flash of light and slides a few feet before coming to a stop. The blue hedgehog lets out a small chuckle as a cocky smirk appears on his face as he turns back towards the direction he arrived in.

“See guys I told you it was…”

The smirk on Sonic’s face vanished as he spots the other members of the group flying towards him.

“Ah Crap!”

Sonic rolls out of the way, just as a frightened Rarity flies past him, then a cowering Fluttershy; with both hooves on her face, and then a ridged Twilight; who flies right over the hedgehog’s head.

“Whoa Nelly!” Applejack shouts as she zips past Sonic.

Pinkie pie lets out a deafening ‘WEE!’ as she zips past, followed by Rainbow Dash.

The blue hedgehog lets out a nervous laugh as he dodges the mane 6. Only to mutter out a slight groan as he locks eyes with a certain moon princess, as she barrels towards him at full speed. Sonic quickly scanned his surroundings, but due to the alicorns sheer side. The blue hedgehog is unable to dodge the inevitable impact.

“Aw shit!” Sonic mutters just before the two smash together and are sent flying.

Colliding with a much smaller obstacle, Luna hits the hedgehog at full force and just about drives the back of Sonic’s skull right into the train platform. However, given the weight differences, the princess is able to shift hers slightly and absorb most of the fall.

Sonic feels a set of forelegs wrap around him as he shifts from his previous position. As if in slow motion, the blue hedgehog is shifted to a different position just as he catches a glimpse of something large and white fly past his field of vision; followed by a loud crash following after.

The two tumble across the platform a few feet before finally coming to a stop. Prompting the moon princess to let out a grown as she stops and rolls to her side.

Sonic lays motionless in a daze as the sound of a rapid heartbeat rings through his skull. Cracking an eye open slightly, the hedgehog notices that his face is buried in soft dark soft fur. Forcing both eyes open, Sonic notices several rays of light shine though a set of large wings. Sonic looks up at the furs owner and sees Luna smiling down upon him.
“You are lucky that we never retrieved out breast plate.”

Sonic lets out a nervous chuckle. “Yeah I suppose I am.”

Luna smiles warmly at the hedgehog for a few moments; only breaking her gaze when Sonic smiles back and places his hand on her side.

“People are going to get the wrong idea if we stay like this.” The blue hedgehog states as he gives the alicorn a smirk.

The moon princess snaps to attention and loosens her hold. “Right of course, that would be troublesome.”

Sonic rolls out of the princess’s hold and return to a standing position. Luna follows suit and rises to her hooves behind the hedgehog. Sonic turns back towards the princess and hold out his hand. “Thanks for, you know not crushing me back there.”

Luna places her hoof in the blue hedgehog’s out stretched hand and gives him a slight nod as she responds. “Not a problem, “The princess lets out an amused chuckle. “The alternative would not have been to either of our liking.”

Sonic releases his grip and lets his hand fall to his side. “That’s putting it one way.” He crosses his arms behind his head. “I’m going to see if everyone else is ok.” The blue hedgehog says as he motions behind him with his thumb.

The alicorn nods and watches the hedgehog walk way.

Luan’s gaze remains fixed on the hedgehog; her heart beating like a warm drum in her chest. The princess’s cheeks starts to flush as she continues to look from afar.

Celestia appears from behind the princess and places a hoof on her should as she gets close. “I see somepony likes our new friend.” The white alicorn says in a teasing matter.

The moon princess snaps her head back and lets out a scoff. “Preposterous, how could somepony in our position have such feelings?”

A small chuckle escapes the white sun princess’s lips. “If you don’t act on this I will.”

Luna’s head snaps around as a look of confusion appears on her face. “Sister, you can’t possibly mean?”

Celestia’s brow furrows as she almost scowls at the question. “It’s hard to explain, but the more time I spend with Sonic the more I get the feeling of déjà vu as if we’ve met before a long time ago.”

The moon princess nods. “As do I,” Her head tilts to the side. “Why do you think that is?”

“I don’t know Luna, but I intend to find out.”

------

Sonic approaches the group of fallen; and scattered mares. With a confused look on his face as he scratches his head. “You guys alright?”

Applejack lets out a low grown as she returns to her hooves. “I think so, Sugarhog. What in tarnation was that?”

“Yeah it was like we were launched from a cannon or something.” Rainbow Dash says as she rubs the side of her head.

Rarity flicks a flock of hair away from her face. “That was absolutely dreadful.”

“It was pretty scary.” Fluttershy comments as she peaks up from her hooves. “But I’m sure you didn’t do that on purpose.”

“I thought it was kind of fun!” Pinkie adds as she springs to her hooves.

Twilight lets out a sigh and joins the others. “What happened?”

“I don’t know.” Sonic begins as he scratches the back of his head. “That’s never happened before.”

The sound of rapid foot steppes draws the hedgehog’s attention to the approach of a very furious lilac cat. “How many times have you done that exactly?” Blaze snaps, as she grits her teeth.

“A few maybe,” Sonic shrugs. “I don’t know exactly.”

Blaze stops a few feet from the hedgehog, points a gloved finger, and gives him a dirty look. “If you can’t control the emeralds output, you should be using them like that!”

“Hey get off my back!” Sonic snaps back. “I don’t know what happened, but I assure you this is the first time it did!”

Twilight approaches the heated pair. “Maybe it’s because there are 8 emeralds now.”

“Eight emeralds? What are you talking about? Blaze asks with a confused look.

Sonic face palms and lets out a small chuckle. “That’s right, I forgot about that.” The blue hedgehog produces the new orange chaos emerald and tosses it to the lilac cat. “Freak show made another one, before I got them back.”

“How is that possible?” Blaze begins as she stares intently at the emerald. “Why would someone create another one?” She looks up at Sonic.

The blue hedgehog shrugs. “Beats me, maybe he did because he could,” His arms fall to the side. “However, that would imply that there was some logic behind it.”

“Discord is…was the master of chaos, a being of untold power.” Twilight adds as she steps between the two. “He usually never has plans or goals. Rather he merely lives for the moment and to only entertain himself.”

Sonic turns to Twilight and then back to Blaze. “Well there you go then. I think that pretty much sums it up.”

“Indeed, a creature of that power would be problematic if left to his own devices.” Blaze says as she hands the emeralds back to Sonic. “You’ll have to fill me in on what you’ve been up since our last departure.” The lilac cat adds as she takes a few steps along the platform.

Sonic smirks as he watches Blaze walk way. “It’s a long train ride.” The hedgehog turns to Twilight; still standing to his right. “Thanks for helping me back there. Blaze can have a bit of a short temper at times.

Twilight smiles kindly and nods in response. “No problem.” She blushes profusely once the blue hedgehog pats her head as he turns his attention to the direction of the oncoming transport.

The sound of the approaching train prompting the group to turn to the horizon, just as poofs of smoke can be seen in the distance.

“Speaking of which,” Sonic begins as he turns towards the lilac cat. “There’s our ride.”

A moderately sized; brightly colored train comes into view, just as it rounds a corner. Plumes of smoke bellow from its smoke stack, as it approaches the station. Train cars of varied colors and sizes appear behind it. Each decorated in one form of ornate or lavish accents, appearing more like something you’d see as some toy or high concept model; not a means of transport.

The train lets out a loud hiss and it pulls into the station; its wheels letting out a screech as they come to a stop. As a wave of steam rolls across the platform as it makes one last jerk forward, before coming to a complete stop.

A platoon of Pegasus royal guards suddenly lands before the group. Each brandishing long gold spears and then pointing their weapons at the group one a tan pegasus lands in front of them.
Gilded in an ornate version of Canterlot’s royal guard armor, the stallion approaches the blue hedgehog and glares at him with his piercing blue eyes.

“Stop right there criminal scum! The Pegasus states with a smirk. As several unicorns in royal guard armor appears behind him and levitates several spears in the group’s direction. “You are under arrest!”

“For what?” Sonic shouts as one of the spears hovers inches from his face.

“You have been found guilty of crimes against Equestria.”

Sonic gives the guard a Royal guard a glare. “On what charges?”

The stallion reaches into his breast plate and removes a large scroll and unravels it.

“Destruction of public property,
Disturbing the peace,
Three counts of aggravated assault,
Discharging a weapon in public proximity, and…”

Iron Side slowly looks up from the parchment. “…attempted murder. How do you plea?”

“Not guilty!” Sonic shouts. “What are you talking about?”

The air remains still as the stallion rerolls the scroll and places it back to his breast plate and then removing another as he pulls his hoof from the armor.

“On the day of the incident; the 200th day of Celestia’s sun. You were identified by several eyewitnesses, performing these heinous acts.”

Rainbow Dash glares at the stallion’s claim and stomps towards him as her rage begins to build.

“Hey wait a minute!” The cyan mare snaps. “You said Sonic did nothing wrong and that…”

The stallion smirks. “I’ve reconsidered my claim.” He turns to the blue hedgehog. “This freak is far too dangerous to be left to its own devices.

“What are you talking about? Sonic would never…” Rainbow Dash is cut off mid-sentence as one of the guards jabs her in the side with the blunt end of his spear. “Hey!”

“Silence!” The stallion barks as he goes in for another strike; only to be stopped by an enraged Blaze.

Fire emits from the cats clenched fist as it clamps down onto the end the rod; just before the tip of the spear. “Don’t do that again!” Blaze says as she locks eyes with the guard.

“Or what?” The stallion mocks with a coy expression.

The distinctive sound of metal buckling can be her as the tip of the now red hot spear begins to bend downward. Blaze maintains her cold glare as he guard feverishly attempts to pull his weapon away from the cat’s grasp.

“L-let go!” The stallion mutters out as he tries to free the spear.

Blaze smiles coldly. “Well, if you insist.”

The lilac cat releases the spear; which causes the guard to stumble back and collide with the fleet of unicorns behind him.

“Enough!” Iron Side shouts as he motions to the guards, prompting them to point there spears at the other members of the group. “As for the rest of you lot. You are guilty of harboring a fugitive and will be tried alongside the accused.”

The mane 6 back huddle together as the guards close on their position.

“Fugitive?” Pinkie Pie asks as she looks around. “Spiky saved all of us.”

Rarity flicks a lock of hair away from her face. “This is preposterous, there has to be some sort of mistake.”

“This ain’t no mistake.” Applejack begins as she backs away from the approaching guards. “They think Sugarhog did something and we are guilty of helpin’ him.”

Fluttershy cover her mouth with her right fore hoof. “Oh my.”

“This is seriously messed up!” Rainbow Dash adds as she backed against the others.

“Princess, do something!” Twilight pleads as she back against the others.

Sonic remains fixed on the tan pegasus before him. A scowl begins to form as the stallion gives the hedgehog a smug expression as he stares back. “Stand down, freak. You are going away for a long time.”

“Like hell I am!” Sonic fires back as snarl appears on his face.

Iron Side grins back in response. “What are you going to do?”

The sound of armor hooves prompts the Captain to glance away for a moment just as Celestia appears alongside him.

“Oh, Princess. I’m glad you’re safe.” The stallion says as he turns to the large alicorn. “I would have stopped this menace sooner, but you suddenly disappeared before I could apprehend him.”

“Iron side…” The sun princess begins.

“Return to the castle, Princess. There is no need for you to associate with these criminals.” The stallion demands as he approaches the furious hedgehog.

Celestia steps alongside the Pegasus and places a hoof on his shoulder. “Stand down.” She commands; prompting the other guards to instantly raise their spears and salute the alicorn.

“But why, Princess,” Iron Side begins. “We’ve apprehended this fugitive and his cohorts. Why are you asking me release them?”

The alicorn takes another large step towards the Captain; her massive frame towering over the stallions. Casting a massive shadow cross the platform, as the early morning sun shines in the sky. The other guards back pedal away from the princess. Iron Side swallows hard as he’s last in the goddess’s shadow.

“I have faced this ‘menace’ first-hoof as well as my sister.” She leans closer to the guard. “The threat has been vanquished. There is no need to arrest anypony here.” Celestia lowers her head, so that she’s eye to eye with the Captain. “And I am not helpless; learn your place Iron Side or I shall show it to you. Do you understand?”

“B-but princess…” The tan stallion begins, only to trail off as the white alicorn increases her glare. “Very well,” he mutters out and turns away.

Iron Side turns to the guards and motions them to move out with a simple head gesture. The stallions nod in response and take flight. Iron Side glance back at the princess once more before departing and joining the others.

Celestia drops her serious expression and let out a heavy sigh as she shakes her head.

Sonic watches the guards depart and then approach the Sun princess. “Hey thanks for that,” He begins as he holds out a gloved hand in the white alicorns direction. “That could have gotten ugly if you hadn’t stepped in.”

The sun princess smiles warmly and places an armored hoof into the hedgehog’s hand. “Indeed, I fear that it would have been a rather unfavorable outcome for Iron Side.”

Luna appears besides her sister with a concerned expression. “Is everypony ok?”

Twilight scratches the back of her head and glances at the group. “I think so. Anypony hurt?”

The group lets out a series of confirmations to the unicorn’s claim.

“Well except for that one guy who got a little too close.” Rainbow Dash begins as she turns to the lilac cat. “I usually don’t say this much but; that was awesome...Oh and thanks.”

Blaze lets out a heavy sigh and adjust one of her long while gloves. “I was not trying to show off, rather to put some fear into that fools eyes.”

“Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.” Sonic mutters out as he crosses his arms.

“Exactly.”

Celestia opens her mouth to respond, but is cut off as the train lets out a loud hiss.

“All aboard!” A blue unicorn shouts as he steps onto the trail.

Sonic turns towards the train and then back to the princess. “I guess that’s my ride.”

The sun princess smiles at the hedgehog and then towards the group. “Safe travels everypony. “

“Till we meet again.” Luna adds as she trots past her sister.

“You can count on it.” Sonic states as he gives the princess’s a thumbs up.

The group of now eight enters the train just as it pulls away from the station. Celestia and Luna wave at the departing travelers till the train is out of sight. The sun princess turns to a frown as she lets out a heavy sigh.

“Come sister, we must attend to other matters.”

Luna nods and basks the duo in magenta light. “Yes sister.”

The two princesses disappear in a burst of blinding light.
