"Come on, come on!" Rainbow and I were neck in neck once again as we raced through the sky. Our friends were watching via a video spell, the mane six cheering for Dash while the mobians and Chrysalis cheered for me.

"We are not tying again!" Rainbow started pulling ahead. I glared at her and increased the energy in my boost to overtake her.

"I couldn't agree more!" Before either of us could cross the finish line the something fell through the cloud at a high speed and destroyed the line. "Ah come on!" We came to a screeching halt as we looked at what interrupted our race. There was a small crater in the ground and we flew towards it, then I saw the last mobian I expected to meet. "Mighty the Armadillo?"

I heard the sound of a spindash and looked behind to see an orange ball heading towards us. I charged up my spindash and met it head on, both of us grinding against the other as sparks flew everywhere. I did a quick boost to knock the attacker out of their spinball. They staggered before getting to their feet.

"Shadow...it had to be Shadow." He looked at me with a glare and started running towards me and I did the same. We were about to collide when Tails landed between us.

"Stop!" We both slammed the breaks and looked at each other with angry glares. "Shadow, calm down. That isn't the real Metal Sonic. Metal, you go take care of Mighty while I deal with this." I nodded and made my way towards one of my favourite characters.

"Hey, you ok there Mighty?" He opened his eyes and looked at me and screamed. "Wait, it's ok, I'm not the real Metal Sonic. I'm just seeing if you're alright." I held out my hand and he took it in his.

"I don't detect any lie in your voice, I'll believe you for now."

"Good, now onto the important question. Why was Shadow attacking you?" He reached behind him and pulled out an emerald shard.

"He thought this was a chaos emerald and told me to hand it over. I knew what it was and was trying to bring it to knuckles, then we ended up here and he tried to take it by force."

"Well, I happen to be gathering the master emerald pieces as I am the one protecting it at the moment until I find Knuckles. Don't worry about that, by the way there are other mobians here."

"Like who?"

"Tails, Cream and Cheese, Cosmo and Chaos, don't worry Chaos is on our side."

"That's good to hear, I don't want to have to fight any unnecessary battles against a misunderstood creature."

I nodded and looked over to Tails and Shadow. Shadow looked up from his spot and glared at me. He pushed Tails to the side and got up in my face.

"Hand over the emeralds."

"No."

"It wasn't a question."

"I don't have to take orders from you android." He looked taken back by this, he then stared at me with a mighty rage.

"What did you just say?!"

"You heard me, I don't have to listen to you, you think you can take care of the emeralds better than I can? You couldn't even protect Maria!" He winced and pulled out a gun. "Chaos Control!" Time froze around us and I grabbed the gun, I twisted his wrist and threw him to the ground. "Sorry, I didn't intend to take it that far."

"Lair." I sat on his back as he attempted to get up. "Get off me, I'm the ultimate life form!"

"And how many times has Sonic beaten you?" He froze and stared daggers at me. "Point proven." He sighed and eased up. "Promise to play nice?" He nodded. "I'll hold you to that."

"This is humiliating..."

"You brought it on yourself, now behave." I got off of him and he regained his composure. "And by the way, if you even think about betraying us then I'll send your sorry ass back to the Ark." I looked up into the sky to make sure it actually wasn't there. "Dodged a bullet on that one."

"Can you at least tell me where we are?"

"Sure, but you're not going to like it."

"How bad can it be?"

One explanation of Equestria later

"I'm in hell..."

"If this is hell then I'm the devil, let's get going, I do have a race to finish." I looked up to see Rainbow flying towards me.

"Hey there Metal, we're going to have to put that race on hold for a while."

"What happened now?" I asked in a exhausted tone.

"Some guy is here to see you outside the castle, says he's the one that brought you here." My eyes widened and I flew off towards the castle.

As I landed in front of the group I could see they all had a look of confusion plastered on their faces. I looked over my shoulder to see a man with a white trench-coat and black spiky hair.

"Why hello Nathaniel, how are you enjoying the new body?"

"No small talk, you got some explaining to do Displacer." Just then something in my head clicked. "Wait...I don't have a displacer, I was sent by the merchant."

"That's where you're wrong, I dressed as the merchant and sent you here, thought it would be fitting."

"Ok then, I just have two questions, what's your name and why send me to Equestria?" He chuckled and made a bow.

"I go by many names, but you can call me The Author. To answer your next question, you will learn in time. Do you not think it's strange that all of these mobians are showing up?"

"Come to think of it yeah."

"Well, someone needed to guide them into this world, but to do so they would need someone that had knowledge of both worlds, that someone was you." He placed a hand on my shoulder. "I gave you this new body so you can help protect this world from the new villains it will have to face. I wish you the best of luck Nathaniel, and I wish you happiness with Luna as well."

"Now wait just a minute we haven't re..." He placed a finger to where my mouth should be. He smiled and I nodded. Just then I felt a sudden burst of energy, I was being summoned. "Oh no I am not dealing with that now." I cancelled out the spell and The Author looked at me with a raised brow. He smirked and snapped his fingers, then a vortex appeared.

"Would you do the honours Celestia?" She smirked at me and lifted me in her magic.

"Tia, no, sit Tia, bad Tia!" She threw me into the vortex.

Author's Notes:

Hey, crossover next guys, this should be interesting.

By the way, sorry this took a while, I was taking a break from writing to catch up on some stories.

Also, I will be rewriting chapters one and two, as I've made multiple mistakes pointed out to me that have turned most away. So don't expect a new chapter other than the crossover.
