Sonic ran through the forest dodging the trees and jumping over some boulders with ease, while he was running in Angel Island’s direction. Discord re-appeared a few feet behind him and continued his chase. After seeing the flash of light, Sonic turned around and started running backwards. He saw Discord and wondered to himself how he caught up with him. Discord was surprised to see that Sonic was still running at a fast pace, even though he was running backwards. Sonic then sidestepped to his left and Discord crashed into a tree, not having enough time to react.

Sonic grinned to himself after Discord crashed into the tree. He then turned around and continued his run. After shaking off the pain he sustained from the crash, Discord teleported himself a good distance on the path Sonic was running on. He then re-appeared in front of Sonic and he tried to block Sonic’s path with a wall that was as tall as he was. But once Sonic was close enough, he jumped over him and the wall with ease. “Jeez, somebody’s persistent,” Sonic thought to himself. He kept dodging each obstacle Discord threw at him, leaving the draconequus frustrated with him foiling each his plans. The sun had started setting once Sonic arrived at Tails’ workshop.

Tails was working on a project in his workshop peacefully. His concentration was interrupted when he heard someone barge into the workshop. The intruder asked, “Hey Tails, you got a minute?” After hearing that it was Sonic, he chose to stop working on his project and wanted to hear what he had to say. “I got some spare time, what do you need Sonic?” asked Tails. “I need some help getting to Angel Island,” he simply said.

Tails looked at Sonic questioningly and was about to ask what the trip was for, but Sonic interrupted and continued telling him what had been happening. “There’s some new guy that calls himself Discord. He is a mismatched creature, his body has a lot of different animal parts on him. He has powers to manipulate anything he desires, I bumped into him on the beach, and he turned the sand into ice. I also have a feeling he was responsible for the chocolate rain from earlier,” he said. “Chocolate rain?” Tails questioned, not believing what he was hearing.

“Yeah, and those don’t even cover this. Somehow, Discord knows about the Chaos Emeralds,” he said in a serious tone. “WHAT?!” yelled Tails, shocked from hearing this. “I asked him if Eggman had released him, but he said it wasn’t Eggman. I don’t know who released him, but I do know we need to get to Angel Island to have Knuckles scatter the emeralds, before Discord gets his hands on them. Can you help me do that?” he questioned.

After getting over his shock, Tails nodded in agreement and got up. Tails then went to the Tornado and got it started, Sonic jumped on to the wings of the Tornado after hearing it start up. The doorway then opened up and with that, he and Tails took off to Angel Island. Discord arrived to Tails’ workshop, clearly exhausted from chasing Sonic. “I never thought it would be this hard to catch one hedgehog,” he thought to himself. Discord then heard a loud hum coming from the workshop, and had seen an airplane come out of it and flew off, with Sonic on the wings.

“Oh great! He has an airplane too?!” shouted Discord. After seeing the plane in the sky, he saw it flying towards an island that was floating above the ocean. “A floating island? This got more interesting…” he said with a smile on his face. He then snapped his fingers and appeared behind Sonic and Tails. Tails noticed the flash, he turned and saw the mismatched creature Sonic was telling him about from earlier.

“Hey Sonic, I think we have company,” he said in a worried tone. Sonic turned around to see what Tails was talking about, and saw that Discord was on their tail. He gritted his teeth in frustration and yelled, “Can this thing fly any faster?!”

Tails nodded to Sonic’s question and put more gas to the plane. It flew faster, and gave the duo plenty of distance between them and Discord. “Your not getting away from me that easily Sonic,” Discord said to himself after seeing the plane get away from him. He then snapped his fingers, and the cotton candy clouds suddenly appeared in front of the Tornado. While flying through the clouds, some of the cotton candy got sucked in the engine. The Tornado sputtered, and it started losing its power, but it was still able to make its trip to Angel Island. After the plane crash-landed, Sonic immediately jumped off of the plane and sprinted to Knuckles as fast as he could. After seeing the plane crash, Discord saw Sonic run straight to a worn down shrine. What he saw was a giant emerald as well as seven smaller emeralds, believing that they are the Chaos Emeralds, leaving the draconequus with a big grin after seeing them. He then snapped his fingers and teleported himself to the emeralds.

Once he was close enough to the shrine, Sonic yelled, “KNUCKLES, SCATTER THE CHAOS EMERALDS NOW!!!!” Surprised from the sudden outburst, Knuckles turned to Sonic and said, “What are you talking about Sonic?” But before Sonic could answer, Discord reappeared before the echidna. After seeing Discord, Sonic broke the sound barrier, and ran at top speed, crashing into Discord in the process. After getting a good hold on him, Sonic yelled, “DO IT NOW!! GET RID OF THE EMERALDS!!!”

After seeing the draconequus, Knuckles didn’t question Sonic this time, and went over to the Master Emerald as fast as he could. He channeled his energy with the giant emerald, and the Chaos Emeralds started lifting off from their respective pillars. Discord seeing this, tried to fight back with Sonic to break free, but Sonic’s hold on him was a lot stronger than he had thought. “Now I know what Time Eater meant when it said Sonic was a lot stronger than he looked,” Discord thought to himself bitterly. After a few moments, the emeralds shot up into the sky, but a portal opened up, revealing Time Eater, attempting to steal the emeralds.

Sonic noticed the wind blowing and looked up. He was shocked to see that Time Eater was there again. “No way! How did you survive that explosion?!” he questioned in disbelief. While in shock, Sonic lost his grip on Discord. He broke free from his grip and laughed evilly as if he and Time Eater had won, but the red Chaos Emerald’s power activated and Time Eater lost its grip on the emeralds and they scattered into seven different directions.

In Ponyville, everything was calm and quiet, the moon had risen, starting nighttime in the small town. Everypony was sound asleep, letting another day go by. None of the lights were on in any of the homes, except for one single tree. In her library home, Twilight Sparkle was on one of her nights where she was doing some stargazing and late night studying. The night sky was perfectly clear, not a cloud in sight. While she was looking at the stars, she took notice of a purple light flying over the town at a fast pace. Unknown to the pony, the purple light was the purple emerald that had been sent away from Angel Island.

Twilight was going to get a better look at the purple light, until she heard a knock on her door. She went downstairs and opened the door to reveal Fluttershy standing at the doorway shaking in fear. Concerned for her friend, Twilight let her into her home and asked, “Fluttershy, what’s wrong? You look as if you saw a ghost.” Still shaking, Fluttershy said, “Actually, I had a very bad dream.” She was on the verge of tears over being reminded of the nightmare she had gone through. In an attempt to calm her down, Twilight wrapped Fluttershy in a hug and she rubbed her back with her hoof. After calming down, Twilight asked, “Would you mind telling me about it?”

Hesitant at first, Fluttershy nodded and was going to tell her, but before she could, another knock on the door was heard. Twilight answered it and saw Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash standing outside Twilight’s home. After letting them in, Twilight had seen that each of her friends were as scared as Fluttershy. Rainbow tried her best to hide her fear, but it was still noticeable that she was also scared of something. Once they were comfortable, Twilight asked, “What’s everypony doing here?” Applejack spoke up for everypony and said, “Uh, Twi. We need to talk…”

And with that each of the ponies explained to Twilight that they had a nightmare. Fluttershy says that she saw an incredibly large dark creature, with evil blue eyes and a sinister blue mouth. It also had clock gears in its miasma looking form. After seeing the creature, she couldn’t help but get an evil vibe off it. She also said that it destroyed the Everfree Forest, causing all the creatures to run away from the forest. Fluttershy’s dream ended once the creature was about to attack her, not before hearing a familiar laugh when the creature attacked.

Pinkie said that she also saw the same creature Fluttershy described. In the dream, it had opened up many portals, and was sucking up everypony in Ponyville. She tried to save the other ponies with her friends, but they also got sucked into the portal. She said that she saw herself floating in space after she was sucked in the portal. She saw each of the ponies that were sucked into the portals and she felt helpless once she saw them disappearing. Pinkie woke up once she saw red eyes starring at her.

Applejack saw the dark creature that the others described. She saw the creature ripping out all of the apple trees with its large hands, and also opened portals sucking up Big McIntosh, Apple Bloom, Granny Smith and the rest of the Apple Family. She tried to stop the creature, but it shot some purple orbs at her and after it hit her, it stopped her in her tracks, leaving her helpless. She heard a snap of a finger, and the ground she was standing on had been destroyed, allowing her to fall into an empty void. Applejack woke up once she had fallen in her dream.

Rarity saw the dark creature as well. She saw that it had the ability to freeze time and use some sort of beams that tracked where she was running. She was able to dodge the shots, but the dark creature was able to freeze time again and fired three shots at her. Rarity was going to use her magic to have something block the shots, but she heard a snap of a fingers and her horn was missing. She woke up after the shots made contact.

Rainbow Dash also saw the dark creature in Cloudsdale, but she also saw another figure with it. The dark creature had used a powerful laser and it destroyed Cloudsdale with one single blast. She flew and tried to attack the creature, but her wings were taken away from her and she crashed onto one of the clouds. The dark creature charged up another laser and blasted it at her. Before it made contact, Rainbow had woken up from her dream.

After hearing the last dream, Twilight was surprised to hear that each of the ponies had each seen the same dark creature in their nightmares. With what each of them had explained, the creature can manipulate time and space, and that it has abilities of its own. The other thing that got to her was a second creature with this dark one, but with what was described, she had a bad feeling on what the identity of the second being could be. Twilight pushed those thoughts out of her head, thinking it was just a bad dream her friends had. She allowed them to stay for the night, seeing how scarred they were. While everypony was getting ready for sleep, a yellow light flew through the sky.

Mordecai and Rigby were finishing up some late work, after the hologram incident. They had walked back to their home in the park and were very tired from cleaning up Skips’ garage. After organizing Pops’ stuff, Mordecai and Rigby took them to his room. Pops thanked them for getting his things from the garage, and he said that he would put his things away for them. Mordecai decided to sit outside on the roof to get some air and some quite time.

Rigby joined him a few moments later, after he found him outside. He said, “Hey Mordecai, what are you doing out here?” Mordecai said, “Just trying to relax man. And was thinking of some things to myself,” saying the last part under his breath. Catching that he said something, Rigby asked, “I’m sorry, what was that?” Mordecai waived off is question and said, “It’s nothing dude, don’t worry about it.”

A few moments later, Mordecai saw a light blue light flying through the sky and yelled, “Dude, shooting star!” Rigby took notice to the star after he pointed it out. He was going to ask him what he would wish for, but Mordecai said, “I wish I could ask Margaret out.” In a snarky attitude, Rigby said, “Pfft. You know that’s not how wishes work on a shooting star.” Mordecai then said, “This is coming from someone who can’t read a children’s book.” Angry, Rigby yelled, “SHUT UP!!” Mordecai laughed at his frustration and said, “You know I’m kidding dude,” ‘sort of’ Mordecai thought the last part to himself.

Mordecai said in a serious tone, “But seriously, I do want to ask her out, without feeling too much pressure.” Rigby shrugged at his response and said, “If you say so. But, if it doesn’t work out with her, and I’m not saying it wont, someone better should come along for you man.” Mordecai gave him a questioning look, but shrugged it off, knowing that that was as nice Rigby was going to be on the whole “Margaret” situation. The blue jay and raccoon went back inside after a few minutes of relaxing.

Finn and Jake were exhausted from another long day of adventures. They saved another princess that had been captured by the Ice King. He tried to put up a fight, but they defeated him with ease. Jake hung out with his girlfriend Lady Rainicorn, while Finn helped Princess Bubblegum with an experiment she was working on. After finishing up their tasks for the day, the duo went back home and were prepared to go to sleep.

Jake climbed into the open drawer to the cabinet in the room, while Finn changed into his Pj’s, got into his sleeping bag and laid on his bed. The duo fell asleep almost instantly after they got into their beds. They were woken up when a bright red light was seen through the Tree Fort’s window. Finn got out of bed and saw the bright red light fly over the Tree Fort and it crash-landed near the Fire Kingdom. Finn said, “Dude, did you see that?” Jake tiredly said, “Yes, I saw it Finn.” Feeling excited, Finn said, “We gotta check it out.”

He was about to jump down the stairs, but Jake had extended his arm, grabbed his leg and said, “Not now man! I’m too tired to make the travel. Can’t we just do it tomorrow? When we actually feel better for this.” Finn was about to protest and just go check it out, but his body was showing its signs of being tired. Finn reluctantly said, “Alright, we’ll rest up right now, and we’ll check it out once we wake up.” Feeling relieved, Jake said, “Thank you,” and he went back to sleep instantly, snoring loudly in the process. Finn stayed up a little longer than he should have. All he could think about was the red light, what it was and he wanted to check it out so badly. But he also knew that he was far too tired to make the trip near the Fire Kingdom anyway. After Finn finally relaxed, he fell asleep in his sleeping bag.

After the cul-de-sac kids accepted Ed, Edd and Eddy, their lives couldn’t have been any better. The Eds have been invited to join the other kids with their activities, hung out at their houses and the Kanker Sisters haven’t bothered them in a while. They still pull some scams here and there, but all in all, they are more appreciated than before. The Urban Rangers decided to go on a camping trip, and chose to invite the Eds so they could enjoy themselves for the night.

The Eds were resting on a log outside their tent and were just looking at the stars. Double D being Double D, was talking and pointing out all of the different constellations he could see in the night sky. Eddy was bored out of his mind hearing Double D talking away, he was also getting aggravated with him, and Ed wasn’t paying attention to the conversation at all.

Unaware of Eddy’s anger, Double D continued pointing out each constellation he knew. He said, “And that constellation there is Ursa Major. Don’t you see the patterns that look-” Eddy interrupted his babble and yelled, “SHUT UP DOBLE D!!! I just want to relax out here, not hear you babble on and on about the constipations.” Double D corrected Eddy and said, “ It’s ‘Constellations’ Eddy.” After hearing the correction, Eddy glared at Double D. The duo got into an argument over learning star formations, to not caring and wanting to relax. Ed had blocked out the argument and was absentmindedly looking at the stars, when suddenly, he said, “Ooh, ooh, look guys! Shooting Star!”

Both Eddy and Double D stopped their quarrel and saw what Ed pointed out to them. They saw a dark blue light shoot through the sky with great speed. They saw it fly over the trees after they made their own wishes to it quietly. Excited about the “star,” Ed said, “What did you guys wish for? I wished for a big tub of gravy.” Double D looked at him questioningly and asked, “Ed, don’t you already have a tub of gravy?” He retorted by saying, “Yes, but not a big tub.”

Not surprised from his wish, Eddy interrupted and said, “Of course lumpy would want a big tub of gravy. I wished for something simpler, like, a jawbreaker.” Double D said, “Everyone has their own choices of a wish Eddy.” Eddy then asked, “So what did you wish for smart guy?” He simply said, “I didn’t wish for anything. I don’t believe a star can have any abilities whatsoever to grant a wish.”

Annoyed with his answer, Eddy said, “Always the killjoy, aren’t ya Double D?” Ashamed, Double D said, “It’s a curse I’m afraid. Besides, what makes you say that you will get a jawbreaker?” Eddy then pulled out three quarters from his pocket and said, “Our last scam got us some good cash. That’s how.” Ed yelled in joy, “Jawbreaker for Ed tomorrow!” Feeling happy as well, Eddy said, “That’s right Ed, now let’s get some shuteye.” The Eds went to their tent and fell asleep in their respective sleeping bags, getting ready for a trip to the candy store tomorrow for jawbreakers.

Danny Fenton, transformed as his ghost alter ego Danny Phantom, along with his girlfriend Sam Manson, and his best friend Tucker Foley, were chasing down Skulker. He was once again, on his hunting sprees, trying to capture Danny. But his plans got foiled, with his battle suite being destroyed in the process, and he is now on the run. Danny pulled out the Fenton Thermos and catches the little blob, known as Skulker. “Way to go guys!” Danny said while tossing the thermos in his hand. “Yeah, and with Skulker down, the rest of the ghosts will be easier to catch,” Tucker said. Wanting to finish ghost hunting, Sam said, “Come on guys, the sooner we catch the ghosts, the sooner we can get some sleep.” Danny nodded and said, “Your right, we can catch the remaining ghosts at this rate if we keep a sharp eye out.” Tucker pointed towards the sky and said, “Like that one up there?”

Danny turned around and saw a green light flying through the sky with great speed. He rolled his eyes and said, “I’ll get it.” He then flew to the sky and chased down the green light that flew by. He didn’t hesitate with the light; he flew in front of the light, pulled out his thermos and caught the green light in an instant. After Danny caught the green light, the Box Ghost flew by and tried to sound like a threat to Danny and his friends and yelled, “I am the Box Ghost! Beware!” Danny shook his head in boredom and annoyance after seeing the Box Ghost. “I so don’t have time for this,” he flatly said. He then opened the thermos, pointed it at Box Ghost and captured him.

“And with that, we can call it a night,” said Danny after turning back into his human self.“Hey guys, we got a shooting star,” said Tucker. Danny, and Sam looked up and saw a white light flying through the sky. Sam quickly checked to see if Desire was around. With no signs of her around, on account that Danny’s ghost sense wasn’t going off, everyone smiled and made a wish for themselves. After they made their wishes, everyone got on their electric scooters and went their separate ways going home.

Discord and Time Eater disappeared through the portal after the Chaos Emeralds vanished from their sights. “What the-? Where did they go?” Sonic asked. “How should I know?!” Knuckles snapped. “Time Eater had them, and once that red emerald made contact, they flew off in different directions,” he said. The duo left the shrine and started walking over to the Tornado. While they were walking, Sonic told Knuckles everything about his encounter with Discord, his powers and what he could do with them. Tails was finishing up the damages Discord caused to it.

“I still can’t believe Time Eater was the one that let Discord out,” Sonic said in disbelief. “Yeah, I thought you destroyed him when Eggman and his younger self tried to use it like a personal fighting machine,” questioned Knuckles. Sonic shrugged in response to his question and said, “I’m sure I did.”

Before the duo could continue their conversation, they had reached the edge of Angel Island where the Tornado had landed. “Hey Tails, finished with the repairs?” Sonic questioned. “Yeah, I just finished,” he responded while wiping the sweat from his forehead. “So, what were you guys talking about with Time Eater?” he questioned. “Time Eater survived the fight, and it was the one who got Discord out of that stony prison of his,” he said. “Seriously?!” Tails questioned in shock. “Dead serious,” he simply said. The idea of Discord and Time Eater worried the fox, and realization struck him. “What happened to the emeralds? Did they get them?” he asked in horror. “Don’t worry about the emeralds, I was able to scatter them before Discord could get his hands on them,” said Knuckles in an attempt to calm Tails down. “And Time Eater?” questioned Tails. “Time Eater tried to get them, but the red emerald activated and they ended up scattering in different directions far away from here,” said Sonic. “As long as they don’t have them, I think we’re good” said Tails, starting to feel better about the situation.

Wanting to change the subject, Sonic looked at the Tornado and asked, “So, what happened to the engine?” Tails looked at the plane and said, “The stuff that clogged the engine was cotton candy.” “Cotton Candy?” asked a confused Knuckles. “Yeah, I was surprised too, that stuff was everywhere in the engine. Everything is working now, we can go back to my workshop and get my radar to help look for the emeralds,” he said.

Tails jumped into the plane and it started up instantly. After hearing the engines go, Sonic jumped on the wings of the Tornado. Before they could leave, Knuckles decided to join them. The flight back to Tails’ workshop didn’t take long. Once the plane had landed, Sonic jumped off the Tornado and decided to go look for one of the emeralds while Tails and Knuckles looked for the radar. “Sonic, we need that radar first,” said Tails. Sonic turned and said, “I saw where one of the emeralds went, I can go get that emerald and you guys can meet me there.” Before they could talk him out of it, Sonic took off to the closest emerald.

Chapter End
