//------------------------------// // A Star Dies // Story: Sonic: Friendship is Eternal // by VGFanatic20 //------------------------------// A Star Dies "You think a second round can even hope to make a difference?" Stargazer asked before Sonic ground his fist into his stomach. Stargazer felt the blood trickle out of his mouth before he completely threw some up to the side. "I think it'll be enough to defeat you" Sonic said with a smirk before removing his hand and slugging Stargazer in the face. Stargazer reeled back, clutching his face with one hand and his stomach with the other. Twilight helped Luna to her hooves getting her out of the crater she was still in. She looked up to see Sonic deliver those hits to Stargazer. A smile to her face that she seemed unsure to have. "What's wrong?" Twilight asked "Stargazer won't be this easy to beat, he can just replenish his energy." She said "There must be something we can do" Twilight said, wanting this to end already. Dash stood up shakily, her head pounding. "Ow…that hurt" she said "I can tell" Tails said. "Are you alright Rainbow Dash?" Fluttershy asked "Yeah…I will be. How's the fight?" she asked. Tails then explained what had transpired recently. "Honestly as long as he is exposed to the stars he has unlimited reserves" Tails said. Rainbow Dash sighed before something began to form in her head. An idea, which was rare for Dash. "Hey! Who's side are you on?" Dash asked. "You heard that too?" Pinkie asked. Tails and Fluttershy just arched a brow, having no idea what they were talking about. "Anyway. Fluttershy, I got an idea" Dash said. "What is it?" she asked. "Fly with me and help me get as many pegasi as possible, this is gonna require a lot of them" she said. "Oh, um alright" she said before she and Dash lifted into the air. "We gotta be quick" she said before flying off with her. Canterlot Celestia panted as she and Shining Armor kept the barrier spell up, glad that the White Dwarves couldn't get in. This fact was soon turning to fiction as the shield began to crack. "Dammit!" Shining said as he collapsed. "Captain!" one of the guards called out as he rushed to him. "Not good…" Celestia said as the barrier cracked even more. With Sonic Sonic dodged a Sagittarius Shot and curled up into a ball before launching himself at Stargazer. Stargazer grunted as he was struck in the chest. Sonic uncurled and placed his hands on Stargazer's chest. "Super Sonic Wind!" he said as oscillating blades of air began to cut at Stargazer. Stargazer howled in pain as he was torn up by the attack. With a growl he grabbed Sonic and pulled him into a punch to the face. Sonic rubbed his mouth as he flew back. "That hurt" he said with a smirk before charging wind and sound into his arm. Stargazer recognized that and knew what was coming. "Go ahead and try! You won't hit me!" he said. "Chaos Control" Sonic said before disappearing and reappearing right behind Stargazer. "Sonic Boom!" he shouted as his fist made contact between Stargazer's shoulder blades, the energy exploding violently as sent Stargazer flying into the ground. "I bet that one hurt!" he said. Stargazer stood and held out his arm. "Pisces Pull!" Sonic felt himself getting pulled closer to Stargazer. "Dodge this! Starcutter!" Stargazer said as he launched the attack. Sonic felt the attack hit him and begin to tear at him with the explosive flurry of blades that resulted from the impact before he fell to the ground. With Dash and Fluttershy They were flying with a whole group of Pegasi, at least 50 of them. Fluttershy was wondering why, but Dash didn't say. Now they were headed toward Cloudsdale and she began to wonder more. Dash stopped and gave the signal for them all to stop. "Alright time to tell you my plan" she said. The pegasi were all ears as they awaited her explanation. "Due to the current events the storms that were scheduled never happened, in fact the clouds are still in the factory." Dash said with a smile. "now this Stargazer creep gets power from starlight, so my plan is to block off the stars with the clouds" she said. "How will that work?" Thunderlane asked. "Yeah Rainbow Dash, how would it work?" Derpy asked. "Remember in weather class how they said that clouds reflect light?" she asked, earning nods from the pegasi before they all had an "oh" moment in unison. "See? We do this and Stargazer won't have a chance!" she said before turning around. "Alright everypony! Let's fly!" she said before they all flew off to Cloudsdale. Canterlot The last of the barrier cracked before it shattered apart. The White Dwarves laughed as they began to move closer before their bodies turned brown and they became dust. "Of all the times to luck out…that will be number one in my book…" Shining said. "Agreed" Celestia said before instructing a guard to let everypony know it was safe to come out. Vinyl took a breath of fresh air as she looked at the sky, "come on you guys, you gotta win" she said. With Sonic Stargazer walked over to the hedgehog and lifted him by the arm bringing him to eye level. He smiled in triumph as he looked at Sonic. "Not so tough now are you?" he taunted. Sonic growled at him before firing a Super Sonic Wind, but the attack simply broke apart on contact with Stargazer. "Feels good to be on top, wouldn't you agree?" he asked, having restored his power back to full. "You won't get away with this you monster!" he shouted before getting punched in the stomach. "I can get away with anything I want to you little rodent!" he said. "Nothing can stop me" he said before tossing Sonic to his friends. "Embrace one another in your final moments!" he said as he readied a Sagittarius Shot, charging it with more and more power to end this. Laughing maniacally as the arrow increased in power and deadliness. "Dammit…." Sonic said as he stood up before noticing it was getting darker. Stargazer soon stopped laughing and prepared to fire. "Say goodbye!" he shouted before the bow and arrow of light began to grow weaker and smaller. "What?!" he said as they vanished completely. "What the hell?!" he asked. "Up here jackass!" Dash said with a grin the whole sky covered in clouds. "You! What have you done to my night sky?!" he demanded. "Who me? Why I simply put some clouds up here to cut off your supply!" she said triumphantly as Stargazer became genuinely scared. "This is your chance Sonic" Luna said as she was brought over to him. Sonic shook his head. "It wouldn't work; even though he's now cut off from his power…I'm still no match. I'm too weak to face him as is" he said. Dash and Fluttershy landed near him. "So what do we do then?" Luna asked. "Sonic, the wind and sound swirl around your arm from a central point right?" Twilight asked. "yeah, right above my fist, why?" he asked. "I'm thinking if we hit it with a Harmonic Blast we can mix the energies and you can deliver them to the target" she said. "That's just crazy enough to work" Dash said as the girls got together, still in their super forms. "Alright…it's worth a shot" he said as he made a Super Sonic Boom form on his right arm. The ball of concentrated energy hovering above his fist. The girls began to focus their energy before unleashing their power. "Super Harmonic Blast!" they said as the attack struck the ball of wind and sound, slowly being drawn inside and added to it. Sonic strained as he kept his footing and held his arm to resist the force. The move ended and Sonic now had wind sound and harmony spiraling around his arm. "yeah…this should do it" he said. "Wait Sonic" Luna said before leaning close, her horn glowing as she filled the ball with her energy. Creating a Lunar energy center in the ball. "Take that bastard down" she said. "I will!" Sonic said before flying toward Stargazer at full speed. Stargazer took to the air before unleashing a torrent of energy pulses to try to stop Sonic from advancing. Sonic dodged them as he got closer and closer. Stargazer was only helping, since his energy kept dropping each time he used a pulse. "No…this can't…be" Stargazer said as Sonic got within reach of him. "Take this! For all the pain and suffering you caused! Super Harmonic Sonic Boom!" he said as he punched Stargazer right in the chest. Within a flash the energy exploded forth in a dazzling beam of energy that was much like the night sky. Sonic held his arm to resist the recoil as he focused his power to intensify the beam. Stargazer was fully enveloped by it and screamed in pure agony as he was torn limb from limb. His hands, arms, legs, and feet slowly broke apart and faded into nothingness. His skull became visible as his head and torso were next to go. The X on his chest swallowing what was left as it was slowly destroyed. The attack soon ended with Sonic floating there, clutching his arm as he panted. Not a single trace of Stargazer remained. In the horizon they could all see the brightness of the sun, and as the pegasi removed the clouds it was confirmed. Day had returned and Stargazer was no more. Luna smiled happily as tears of joy fell. "It's finally over" she said happily as everyone rejoiced. Canterlot Celestia smiled happily at the daytime sky, "they did it" she said. Everypony cheered happily, the disaster was over. Vinyl smiled happily before cheering loudly "Yeah!" she shouted to the sky in utter joy. Somewhere in Equestria "About time they killed that buffoon" Metal said. Gilda and Mephiles were sound asleep near him. "Now it's my turn, be prepared Sonic" he said. Sonic and the others Sonic descended and reverted to his normal self before collapsing. Dash flew over to him and smiled happily as she reverted to normal. "You did it Sonic" she said before pulled toward him and into a kiss. "We did it Dash" he said before losing consciousness. She just giggled softly before getting him onto her back and carrying him to the others. "About time…" Shadow said. Twilight just smiled and nuzzled him affectionately. 1 month later Sonic and his friends found themselves walking down the ceremony hall to the Princesses. Being honored as Heroes once again. They stopped in front of the princesses bowing in respect. "Citizens of Equestria! Recently a grave threat loomed over us, wanting nothing more than to destroy us. What that threat didn't count on were these brave youths, who risked everything to stop him. We are here today to honor them as Heroes for their outstanding bravery." Celestia said as she used her magic to drape medals on each of their necks. Applause and cheers filled the hall as the heroes were given their medals. "And now, a moment of silence for all the ponies who were lost in the chaos" she said as everypony went silent to pay respect to those who didn't make it. A moment later Luna spoke, "And now, without further ado, let's celebrate peace and harmony for a long time to come!" she said "Huzzah!" she added. Everyone cheered happily as the heroes turned and smiled to the crowd. Vinyl smiled at Vector, who in turn smiled back at her. "You know what this calls for?" Pinkie Pie asked. "A Party!" Espio cheered. Everyone just went silent and looked at him in utter disbelief that he just did that. "Sorry…thought I'd give it a try" he said. "Needs work honey" Pinkie said before getting out her party cannon and shooting confetti and streamers at everypony. "It's party time!" she cheered happily. i hid a disney reference in here, due to a youtube video being my inspiration behind it. hope you can find it.
