//------------------------------// // Getting the Chaos Emerald! // Story: Sonic X: Friendship is Universal // by JPtheRobotHedgehog //------------------------------// (BGM: SONIC DRIVE - Hironobu Kageyama & Hideaki Takatori) The opening begins as a blue streak of light dashes down the road S-O-N-I-C, GO! Another streak of light appear in the sky, following the blue one, this one was rainbow colored S-O-N-I-C, GO! The two streaks slow down, the blue one reveals to be Sonic the Hedgehog while the rainbow one reveals to be Rainbow Dash. Go, go, go go, LET'S GO! Sonic and Rainbow Dash grin at each other before they both dash toward the screen before it fades white as the title appears on it SONIC X: FRIENDSHIP IS UNIVERSAL Sonic and Rainbow Dash charge forward as they infiltrate a city that was taken over by the evil genius Dr. Eggman and the mad scientist earth pony Steam. The alarms go off as Eggman and Steam sent their robot minions to stop Sonic and Rainbow Dash. Yesterday's rules are simply loose today The best goal is to break them Sonic and Rainbow Dash race across the streets when they saw robot soldiers blocking their way. Sonic jumps and uses his homing attack on them, while Rainbow Dash speeds her way through them, knocking them down like bowling pins. They try to enter the building where their arch-enemies are, but another wave of robots chase after them out of the building. If I don't keep running There's no other meaning It's a punk philosophy On another part of town, Knuckles was driving a hover car down the road, with Cream, Cheese, Fluttershy, Angel and Applejack. They notice Sonic and Rainbow Dash greeting them, Sonic giving a thumbs up and Rainbow Dash winking them before dashing ahead of them. Then the robots who were chasing after them appear, causing Knuckles, Applejack and the others to scream in horror as they speed up and try to catch up with the two speeders. Eggman and Steam watched this whole scene from aboard their hover ships, Eggman in his Egg Mobile and Steam on his Steam Cloud. They notice Tails, along with Amy, Twilight Sparkle, Spike, Pinkie Pie and Rarity, flying in the Tornado 2. Biorhythm is a two-time rhythm The scenery instantly becomes countless lines The wind envelops me Eggman and Steam laugh evilly as they fire their missiles at the Tornado 2. Tails and the others notice them and scream in horror. Tails then transforms the Tornado 2 into its battle formation, gaining more speed as he tries to outfly the missiles, the others screaming in horror, while Pinkie Pie shouts and laughs with joy as if riding in a roller coaster. On the road, Sonic, Rainbow Dash, Knuckles and the others are still being chased by the robot soldiers, until they notice the Tornado 2, followed by Eggman and Steam's missiles, coming right at them! The two parties collide, resulting into a big explosion. Sonic and Rainbow Dash are sent flying into the sky, followed by the Tornado 2. Tails and Twilight toss each a Power Ring, one for Sonic and the other for Rainbow Dash. Inside Outside attack Surpass everything altogether I won't let no one and nothing go forward Knuckles and Applejack take down the robots, Knuckles uses his punches, while Applejack uses her bucking. Cream, Cheese, Fluttershy and Angel work together to outsmart the robots into attacking each other. A bright light shines from above them, they look up and see Sonic and Rainbow Dash coming down, with Power Rings in hand and hoof. Sonic then curls into his ball form and Spin Dashs down toward a robot, destroying it, then proceeds to destroy more robots. Rainbow Dash speed increases tenfold, that she performs her Sonic Rainboom in just a few short seconds, smashing into a robot, destroying it, then proceeds to destroy more robots. Inside Outside, GO! SONIC! Everything altogether, Yes! Sonic! "Watch out" and "Have a nice" are similar That's right – both are by the skin of your teeth Sonic and Rainbow Dash then join hand and hoof together and perform the Sonic Rainboost combo, as they charge into the building where Eggman and Steam control the city, smashing and destroying everything inside it, much to Eggman and Steam's horror. Sonic and Rainbow Dash burst out from the top of the building, as it explodes into a million pieces. While in mid-air, Sonic and Rainbow Dash look at each other and grin before they bro fist-hoof with each other, while their friends cheer for them, while Knuckles smiles warmly. Unknown to them, Shadow the Hedgehog, along with Rouge the Bat, Gilda and The Great and Powerful Trixie were watching from the top of one of the buildings. Throw boredom away And start running Sonic closes his eyes and floats up into the air, as the seven Chaos Emeralds fly around him, followed by Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Applejack, Pinkie Pie and Rarity, all wearing their respective Elements of Harmony. Then in a flash of Chaos Energy and Magic of Friendship, Sonic and the Mane 6 transform into Super Sonic, and the Super Mane 6. They stare at the shadowy figures of some mysterious enemies, before charging at them, full speed, the mystery enemies charge back at them, the two parties collide resulting into a giant explosion. S-O-N-I-C, GO! Chris, Kat, and their family and friends, Big the Cat, Froggy, Charmy and Chocola, along with the Mobian animals cheer on for Sonic and his friends, while Vanilla smiles warmly, along with Vector and Espio S-O-N-I-C, GO! The Cutie Mark Crusaders, Derpy Hooves, Lyra, Bon Bon, the ponies of Ponyville and the griffons of the Griffon Kingdom cheer on for the Mane 6 and their friends, while Princess Celestia smiles warmly, along with Princess Luna, Princess Cadance, Shining Armor, Zecora, King Czar, Hawkeem and La Tormenta Go, go, go go, LET'S GO! Sonic and Rainbow Dash then land back on the ground and pose together for the screen, along with Chris, Kat, Tails, Twilight Sparkle and all of their friends and family. Eggman and Steam are seen cursing out to them in the background before storming off, ending the opening sequence. (BGM ends) Episode 4 Getting the Chaos Emerald! That evening, Sonic and his friends, the Mane 6, Spike, Derpy, Chris and Kat have all gathered in the artic of Chuck's workshop. The Mane 6 and Spike were enjoying their reunion, while Derpy enjoyed some muffins that Kat had prepared for her and Angel enjoys some carrots. Sonic was relaxing by the window, while Tails, Amy, Cream and Cheese lay down on some pillows, relaxing and enjoying their own reunion. The small rabbit (who is named Pocky by the way) was sitting on Chuck's bed, taking a nap. Chris and Kat watched them as Rainbow Dash told everyone about her first encounter with Sonic and how they evaded capture from the police and finally their epic race against the S-Team. "And then I pulled off my Sonic Rainboom and got in front of their jet fighter captain in 10 seconds flat!" Rainbow told the story. "And Sonic did the same with his own move with the race car captain! You should have seen it; those guys were left with a dumbfounded look on their faces! It was priceless!" "I can already imagine it." Twilight said. "Aw man, I wish I could have seen you both in action! It would have been SO cool!" Pinkie Pie said hoping in excitement. "It really sucks that I wasn't there, I really, REALLY wish I was, so I could witness it with my own eyes!" "Alright, settle down Sugarcube!" Applejack calmed her pink friend down. "I'm impressed to actually meet someone- or rather, somepony – who can move as fast as Sonic!" Tails said. Amy scoffed. "No matter how fast she is, she'll never be able to beat and/or take away MY Sonic!" she said, glaring at Rainbow. "Amy…" Cream said. "Hey, what's with the "I'm gonna kick your flank" look?" Rainbow asked Amy in confusion. Amy stood up and pointed at Rainbow in an Objection-like way. "Stay away from MY Sonic, he's MINE and NO ONE else's!" she yelled. "The less you two hang around each other, the BETTER!" "Amy!" Tails and Cream said. Sonic looked away from the scene, pretending like that had nothing to do with him. "What's your problem?" Rainbow demanded annoyed at Amy. "Yeah, why are you suddenly jumping on Rainbow like that Amy?" Spike looked confused. "Amy, please stop it!" Cream intervened. "You're leaving a very bad impression on everyone else, especially Sonic!" "Chao!" Cheese chippered in agreement. Amy suddenly realized what she was doing after Cream mentioned Sonic being near. She started to laugh sheepishly. "You're right…sorry Rainbow Dash." She apologized lamely. A sweat drop rolled down the side of her head Rainbow Dash and the other ponies (except Derpy, who was still enjoying Kat's muffins), Spike and Chris just stared at Amy dumbfounded. "What just happened?" Chris asked Tails. "Sorry, Amy believes that she and Sonic are destined lovers, to say the least." Tails explained. "Oooh!" the others understood. "How romantic!" Rarity exclaimed all lovingly. "Rarity…" the other ponies stared deadpan at Rarity. Sweat drops rolled down the side of their heads, one on each Chris on the other hand, decided to change the subject. "Anyways, you guys haven't yet explained how you all ended up here on Earth." He said. "Grandpa and I are curious too!" Kat joined her brother's side. "It would be nice if you told us the full story now!" The Sonic Heroes and the Mane Party looked at each other, wondering if this was a good idea. But in the end, they decide that it would be wise to explain, because hopefully, doing so would also give them a clue on how to return back to their own worlds. The Sonic Heroes explain that they were battling against Dr. Eggman and retrieve the Chaos Emeralds from the mad doctor himself, but after an accident, the Chaos Emeralds ended up creating a huge light explosion that knocked them out and the next thing they knew they all woke up in world full of humans. The Mane Party explain that they were on a mission to save both Equestria, their kingdom, and Albatross, the Griffin Kingdom, from a mad scientist earth pony known as Steam, who had taken over Canterlot with an army of steam powered robots, to complete an experiment the princess had cancelled years ago, using the Elements of Harmony. After an accident however, the Elements created a light explosion that knocked them out, and the next thing they knew was waking up in a world full of humans. "Ok, I get the part where you were pulled in here by some light explosion, but what I DON'T get are what these Chaos Emeralds and Elements of Harmony are." Chris said. "Yeah, what are they?" Kat asked. "The Chaos Emeralds are seven mystical gemstones that can be used to power-up machinery or grant special powers for those who can harness their power!" Tails explained. "Legend tells that whoever collects all seven, they have the power to create miracles or total destruction, depending on the users' wishes!" Amy added. "Dr. Eggman is always trying to use them to conquer our world, but in the end Sonic-san manages to get them first and use them to stop his plans!" Cream explained. "Chao!" Cheese chippered. "Wow!" Chris and Kat looked astonished, along with the Mane Party. "And what about the Elements of Harmony?" Kat asked. "The Elements of harmony are six supernatural artifacts and the most powerful force in Equestria, though the extent and nature of their power are largely unspecified. Each artifact represents an element of friendship: Honesty, Kindness, Laughter, Generosity, Loyalty and Magic." Twilight explained. "Each one can only be used by the mare or stallion who bares one of those elements and they are used during times when a catastrophe is happening as a last resort to stop it!" "And we are the mares who bare each one of those elements!" Pinkie Pie said. "My Element is Laughter; it is like, the best one ever!" "Mah Element is Honesty; I'd never lie to any of mah friends, ever!" Applejack said proudly. "I happen to bear the Element of Generosity, for you see, I have a huge passion for jewels and making dresses and clothes with them, and I just love to share my work with everypony!" Rarity said. "M-My E-Element i-i-is…Kindness…" Fluttershy said shyly. "My Element's Loyalty!" Rainbow Dash said proudly. "I'd never leave my friends or anypony in need hanging!" "And that leaves me as the bearer of the Element of Magic." Twilight said and continued. "However, the Elements can only be activated once they are wielded by the bearers of the Elements and when they are all together. The effects of the Elements are generally temporary and non-lethal, usually a form of banishment or imprisonment. The only exception was when we used them to turn Nightmare Moon back into Princess Luna, destroying the evil in her." "Wooow!" Chris and Kat said in astonishment. "However I think none of that will happen..." Chuck said. "Legends have legendary heroes for a reason." "You think it will all end?" Cream asked. "I wonder if it will…" Chuck said. "Eventually, the Chaos Emeralds and the Elements of Harmony will disappear into legend." "That isn't always the case." Sonic replied. "Once the Chaos Emeralds have been used, they scatter across the whole world, waiting to be found again." "Yeah, and as long as we, the Bearers of the Elements of Harmony are around, the Elements of Harmony will always be here to stay!" Rainbow Dash said. "So, there's a good chance they might have also ended up scattered around here on Earth." Chris deduced. "Yeah, and if we find them, I bet we can use them to send you all back to your own worlds!" Kat said. "But how do we know they ended up here on Earth?" Tails asked. "Yeah, there's still the possibility that they might have stayed back in our own worlds!" Twilight said. "But we'll never know for sure unless we find them ourselves!" Kat replied. "Right Rainbow-chan?" "Yeah!" Rainbow agreed. "And if they DID end up here, we'll gather them all up again and return home before lunch time! Right Sonic? Girls?" "That's right!" Sonic grinned, giving her a thumbs up. "Yeah!" Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Spike and Derpy agreed. Twilight sighted. "Fine, I'll believe in the possibility that the Elements and the Emeralds are scattered in this world for now." She said and looked down worried. "I just pray to Celestia that it's true."

Meanwhile, in a construction site, the workers were busy building a new building in the city, minding their own business and nothing out of the ordinary was happening, at least not at the moment. A digging machine was digging up some more dirt from the ground and they have yet to notice the large green gemstone, which was buried, but slightly visible in the ground. It was the green Chaos Emerald, shining brightly, awaiting someone to find it. Meanwhile, while the Sonic Heroes and the Mane Party succeeded in saving the city from Dr. Eggman, the human inhabitants, especially the government, still didn't trust them. At The United Federation headquarters, the President of the country was just receiving word from his workers about our heroes' whereabouts. "Mr. President, we've managed to locate them." A worker announced. "What? Where are they hiding?" The President asked. "The animals and the ponies are hiding out in some celebrity's house." The worker explained. "We've also learned about the whereabouts of Dr. Eggman and his terrorist group, hiding out in their base of operation built on a desert island in the middle of the Southern sea. "Good, then send our men there and capture them!" The President ordered. "Hold on Mr. President, because we don't have the correct information yet, we cannot hunt down the animals and the ponies yet." The worker explained. "Fine, then hurry up and put a stop to Dr. Eggman and his band of terrorists!" The President ordered. "We've already sent a team to monitor Dr. Eggman's activities Mr. President." The worker explained. "Our Southern Sea police patrol will let us now when he attacks." "Good. What about the animals and the ponies?" the President asked. "We have just begun monitoring them." The worker announced. "We've sent out two deputy agents to investigate, they will be looking into the place where the boy and the girl are hiding them in." The next morning… In the Thorndyke Mansion, the Sonic Heroes and the Mane Party were enjoying their breakfast in Chuck's workshop. Chris and Kat had told them they didn't want to risk letting them being seen by either Ella or Mr. Tanaka, concerned about what they might do if that happens. They understood as they enjoyed their breakfast. "Ok, we're leaving now!" Chris and Kat announced, carrying their school bags and wearing their skate and roller-skate gear, respectively. "Ok, see you later!" Chuck said. "Bye!" The Sonic Heroes and the Mane Party said. Chris and Kat left the mansion, Chris rides on his skateboard while Kat rides on her roller-skates, on their way to school. "So, what should we do today?" Spike asked. "Well, I'm gonna go stretch my wings for a bit." Rainbow got up, flaring up her wings. "I should go stretch my legs for bit too." Sonic agreed. "What are you guys going to do?" Rainbow asked. "I stay here and help Chuck out with his work." Tails said. "I stay here and help them both out too." Twilight said. "Um, well, I'd like take Angel out for a walk in the lawn, if, you know, that's ok?" Fluttershy said. "Cheese and I will go with Fluttershy and Angel!" Cream said. "Chao, chao!" Cheese chippered. "Darling, would you be a dear and help me design some new clothes?" Rarity asked Amy. "Sure!" Amy said, still giving a slight glare at Rainbow Dash. "I'll go make some cupcakes!" Pinkie Pie said. "Derpy you wanna help?" "Would I?" Derpy agreed. "Though I'd like to make some muffins too!" "I'll help out too, at least I'll have something to do to spare some time." Pocky volunteered. "Right, and I'll help out Twilight, Tails and Chuck." Spike decided. "Great, see you guys later!" Rainbow Dash flew out the window. "Yeah, same here!" Sonic race out of the workshop at supersonic speed. "Have fun, and don't get caught!" Chuck warned them. "Ok!" our heroes agreed. With Chris and Kat… The Station Square Elementary School is where all the young boys and girls living in the city come to attend math, language, history and gym classes. Chris was attending his own class, while Kat attended her own, since they were of different age. Chris had only failed one year, while Kat hasn't failed a single one so far. In Chris's class, all the students were sitting at their desks chatting with each other, or studying. Chris was sitting next to two of his friends and classmates, Danny and Francis. Danny is an 11 year old African boy with pale green eyes, wearing a green jacket over his black t-shirt, blue jeans and red sneakers. He's a sports fanatic and has been friends with Chris and Kat since childhood. Francis is an 11 year old girl with green eyes, has ginger hair and wears deep coral overalls and a short sleeves baby blue shirt. She also has freckles. Like Danny, she's been friends with Chris and Kat since childhood. "That's right! I've seen it with my own eyes!" Danny asked Francis. "It was like witnessing the shooting of a movie!" "I saw it too!" Francis replied. "Hey Chris! You've seen it on the news too, right?" "Uh…yeah." Chris nervously replied. Just then, the School Principal entered the classroom, followed by a mysterious looking man. "Your attention please!" the School Principal began. "I'd like to inform you all that Ms. Wendy, your teacher, is currently participating in a trans-continental Super Quiz. She has, since yesterday, quit from this school." The students looked shocked and surprised by this news. Chris, Danny and Francis looked at each other. "In any case, Mr. Stewart here will be taking her place, starting today." The school principal announced, referring to the mysterious man next to him. Mr. Stewart had blond hair, brown eyes. wore a blue coat, glasses, a turquoise vest, a white sweater, and dark grey pants. "Pleased to meet you all class." Mr. Stewart politely greeted his new class. "Pleased to meet you too Mr. Stewart!" the whole class greeted him back. As everyone returns to what they are doing Mr. Stewart secretly eye-balled Chris and gave off a secretive smile as if in interest. Meanwhile, in Kat's class, all students were doing their thing; Kat was sitting next to some of her friends and fellow classmates. One of them was Nate, a 10-year-old boy with dark brown hair, blue eyes, wearing a dark blue jacket, black shorts, grey sneakers and white socks. He's a sport and animation fanatic who has been friends with Kat and her brother since childhood and as time has passed, Kat began to develop feelings for him, but she plans to remain secretive about it, until she feels the time is right. Next to them was Lucy, a 10-year-old girl with wild dark brown hair, blue eyes, she wore a pink overall dress and a white and blue striped shirt and stockings, and pink shoes. She was Nate's little twin sister who was a hyperactive girl who loved to do anything she finds exciting and has been best friends with Kat and Chris since childhood. She and Pinkie Pie should hang out sometime, Kat though to herself. And last there was Tucker, a 10-year-old fat boy with blonde hair, wore a white and orange t-shirt, a dark orange jacket, grey pants and black sneakers. He was a bit of a glutton who enjoyed a good meal and loves to watch animated movies with his best friend Nate. He too is a childhood friend of Kat and Chris. "And then, it happened, and they were like "whoosh", and then they BAM, right in the head, it was so EXCITING!" Lucy explained in a hyperactive manner. "Yes, yes sis, you and I saw it together." Nate said. "I saw it too, it got me over the edge, that I couldn't stop eating!" Tucker gobbled up a chocolate bar. "What about you Kat?" Nate turned to her friend. "You saw it on TV too right?" "Uh, OH! Uh, sure, of course I saw it!" Kat waved her hands while laughing nervously. Then just as in Chris' class, the School Principal entered the classroom, this time followed by a mysterious woman. "Your attention class!" the School Principal announced. "I would just like to inform you all that your teacher, Mr. Wallace, has been transferred to a public school in Canada and has since of yesterday quit this school." The entire class reacted in shock of this news. Kat, Nate, Lucy and Tucker looked at each other. "Starting today, Ms. Brenda will be in charge of your class." The School Principal announced, referring to the mysterious woman next to him. Ms. Brenda had long ginger hair, brown eyes, tanned skin, glasses, she wore a maroon shirt, dark red jacket and skirt that went down to her ankles. "Hello class, I'm pleased to meet you all." Ms. Brenda greeted her new class. "Pleased to meet you too." The whole class greeted her back. As the whole class returned to what they were doing, Ms. Brenda stared at Kat, with a secretive smile in interest. After class… During break time, everyone was heading out to play and hang out outside. Chris was waiting for Danny, who was getting ready. "Danny! Are you ready?" Chris asked. "Uh, just a minute!" Danny called out. Chris sighted as he waited. Then he noticed Mr. Stewart walking up to him. Chris didn't know what to expect as his new and mysterious teacher looked down at him with a smile. "Christopher Thorndyke. Your father holds 70% of the computer world's share and is the CEO of Starship Soft, Nelson Thorndyke. Your mother is the famous movie star, Lindsay Fair." Mr. Stewart said. "And…what about it…?" Chris asked nervously. In the corner of his eye, he saw Kat talking to Ms. Brenda down the hallway, but turned his attention back to Mr. Stewart. "Oh nothing, it's just…" Mr. Steward extended his hand for a shake. "I am truly honored, as your mother's fan! I am pleased to meet you Chris!" "Me too." Chris shook Mr. Stewart's hand. "Tell me something, what is your favorite animal?" Mr. Stewart asked. "Uh…?" Chris stared at Mr. Stewart at that question, but answers him anyway. "I like hedgehogs." "Oh?" Mr. Stewart gave him a look. "Was that weird?" Chris asked nervously. "Oh no, not at all." Mr. Stewart chuckled. "Chris!" Danny finally showed up. "Sorry to keep you waiting." "I'll see you later Mr. Stewart!" Chris said good bye to his teacher before leaving with Danny. "You're so slow!" he told Danny. Mr. Stewart kept eye-balling Chris until he was gone. He looked and saw Kat leaving as she finished talking with Ms. Brenda, the latter looked at him. They both nodded in agreement. Meanwhile, with Sonic and Rainbow Dash… Sonic was racing along the mountains, while Rainbow Dash flew over his head. The Pegasus flies down over to Sonic. "So Sonic, what's the deal between you and Amy?" Rainbow asked. "…" Sonic gave her a deadpan look and looked away from her. "It was a simple question…" Rainbow said. "Isn't she your girlfriend or something?" Sonic sighted in defeat. "Not really…but she believes that we're destined lovers, just because her tarot cards said she and I were destined to meet." Sonic explained. "Tarot Cards?" Rainbow asked. "Like, the cards that Fortune Tellers use to predict someone's fortune?" "Yeah." Sonic replied. "So, she thinks that because her cards predicted that you two would meet, she thinks you're destined lovers?" Rainbow asked. "…" She didn't get an answer as Sonic simply remained silent, until he decides to change the subject. "Race you to that mountain again?" he asked. "Hey! Why is he avoiding my question?! Rainbow asked herself in her throughts, but decides to let it go for now. "Ok, you're on!" "Ready, set, GO!" Sonic and Rainbow race each other down the road toward the mountain ahead of them. Meanwhile, La Tormenta and Hawkeem wondered around the mountain, with no clue of where they are or where their friends were. "Just where in the world estamos nos?!" Tormenta asked, looking around. "Definitely not in Equestria OR Albatross anymore, that's for sure." Hawkeem replied. "Nuestros amigos could be here too!" Tormenta said. "And we have to encontrarlos if they are!" "Yes, IF they ARE here." Hawkeem said. "How do we know they didn't stay back in our world?" "Come on Hawkeem, have a little fe!" Tormenta said. Hawkeem just kept looking around while carrying his sage staff in one talon, until he saw two streaks of light, and recognized the rainbow one. "Oh, I do have "fe" Tormenta." He said. "Whether it appears right on your face or not." Tormenta looked and saw the streaks and, like Hawkeem, he only recognized the rainbow one. "Eso es Rainbow Dash!" he exclaimed. "But a dónde va and who is that con ella?" "I don't know, they seem to be headed toward the top of that mountain." Hawkeem said. "Come on Tormenta!" "Cierto!" Tormenta agreed. The two of them started following the two streaks; despite how fast they were going Hawkeem at least knew where they were headed. A few minutes and 10 seconds flat later, Sonic and Rainbow Dash made it to the top of the mountain, apparently at the same time. "So who made it first this time?" Rainbow asked. "Sorry, guess I didn't pay attention to it again." Sonic shrugged sheepishly causing Rainbow to place one hoof over her face. Sweat drops rolled down the sides of their heads, one on each "Oh well…" Rainbow said. "But seriously though, is Amy really your girlfriend or are you thinking that her fortune is wrong?" "Rainbow…" Sonic looked at her with a deadpan expression. "Just drop it already." "Ok…but I was only asking because of how she yelled at me the other day." Rainbow remembered Amy's lecture. "I know…but it's not a subject that I wish to talk about so let's just pretend it didn't happen." Sonic said in a harsh and serious tone. "Alright, alright, don't get mad." Rainbow said taken aback. "I was only curious anyway." "Darn you Amy! Why do you always have to go around telling people you and I are boyfriend and girlfriend when we are not?! But…what is this warm feeling inside of me?" Sonic wondered to himself. "So, time to go back to the mansion?" Rainbow asked. "You know it!" Sonic grinned. "Rainbow Dash! So glad you estás a salvo!" Rainbow and Sonic turned around to see two faces only Rainbow Dash recognized. There was a Sahuagin in a super hero/luchador get up, followed by an old griffin in dressed like a sage. "Tormenta! Hawkeem!" Rainbow exclaimed. "So you guys are here too?" "You know them Rainbow?" Sonic asked. "Yeah, they help me and the girls take down that jerk Steam!" Rainbow explained. "Rainbow, who is the erizo azul with you?" Tormenta asked. "Oh yeah, Tormenta, Hawkeem, this is Sonic, he's a new friend from another world and new speed rival!" Rainbow introduced Sonic to them. "Hey there!" Sonic greeted them. "I am honored to conocerte senõr Sonic!" Tormenta shook Sonic's hand. "I am La Tormenta, a super hero of justice!" "Um, yeah, nice to meet you too Sonic." Hawkeem greeted a bit nervous. "I am Hawkeem, a subject of King Czar, the ruler of Albatross, and I am one of its greatest heroes…or so they call me." "How did you guys find us anyway?" Rainbow asked. "We saw you two racing up the mountain, so we followed you." Hawkeem explained. "Why were you two racing anyway?" "To see who's the fastest, duh." Rainbow replied. "But it seems we tied." "Hey, you know that isn't so malo." Tormenta said. "Maybe." Rainbow said. "And what were you guys doing out here anyway?" Sonic asked. "The heck should we know? One minute we were knocked out by the light explosion, and the next thing we know, we wake up here in the middle of the mountains!" Hawkeem replied. "We kept wondering around looking for Twilight, Rainbow and the others, while trying to figure out where we are, and we had to survive by eating any animals we encountered." That made Sonic and Rainbow flinch. The fact that having a griffin and a sahuagin around was enough to think it's a bad idea hanging out with creatures that eat other creatures. "Can you NOT bring the "eating animals" bit up please?" Rainbow demanded. "My apologies." Hawkeem replied. "Anyways, Sonic and I were just going back to the mansion." Rainbow said. "Twilight and the others are all back there, waiting for us." "Ah, so you found some shelter?" Hawkeem asked. "Yeah, but try to keep your carnivorous side under control, because our friends aren't the only ones living in there." Sonic warned them. "No tenga miedo, I've made a policy to never eat anything that talks or it's someone's pet, everything else is food to me!" Tormenta said. "I don't eat my own allies." Hawkeem replied apathetically. "Good, then let's go!" Sonic grabbed Hawkeem's talon and raced down the mountain, as Hawkeem screamed for dear life. Tormenta grabbed onto Rainbow's body as she took off into the skies. She was having a bit of trouble keeping her balance because of Tormenta's weight but she still manages to keep up with Sonic. "I'm volando!" Tormenta yelled at the top of his lungs as he held onto Rainbow. Meanwhile… Back in the construction site, the workers were still doing their job and unaware of the Chaos Emerald buried in the ground. The digging machine was about to dig up some more dirt, but then, the Chaos Emerald sends out a radiation of Chaos Energy at the Digger, covering it in an aura of green light. "What in the world?!" the workers and the driver gawked at this. Then all of a sudden, the driver lost control of the digger as it began moving on its own and starts attacking the workers and knocking down other vehicles and construction supplies. Everyone took cover; the driver was forced to jump out of the digger as it continued rampaging across the construction site, until it stopped. "What the hell just happened?!" one worker demanded. "It…just moved…by itself!" the driver said scared. "Hey, what is that?" another worker noticed the Chaos Emerald on the ground. All the workers gathered around the Chaos Emerald. They all stared at it in awe and curiosity.

Meanwhile, Chris, Kat and their friends were gathered in the school's cafeteria, enjoying their lunch, while having some conversations with each other. "So Chris, what were you and Mr. Steward talking about?" Danny asked. "He…asked me what my favorite animal was." Chris replied. "What's up with that?" Danny laughed. "I dunno…" Chris shrugged, before looking at Kat. "Hey Kat, I saw you talking with a woman while I was talking with Mr. Steward." "Oh yeah, she's our new teacher, Ms. Brenda." Kat said. "So you guys have a new teacher too?" Francis asked, Kat and her classmates nodded. "Wow, what a coincidence!" "Or is it…?" Chris and Kat through to themselves. "Anyway, what were you and Ms. Brenda talking about?" Chris asked. "She…um…asked me if I liked ponies." Kat said blushing nervously. "Really?" Nate asked. "That's almost as odd as the question Mr. Stewart asked Chris." "Y-Yeah." Kat replied. "And what did you guys tell them?" Tucker asked while stuffing his face with curry. "I told him I liked hedgehogs…" Chris said. "And I said I do like ponies…" Kat said still blushing. "Aw, I like hedgehogs and ponies too!" Lucy said hyperactively. "Lucy, you like EVERYTHING!" Nate told his sister. "I can't seem to recall what exactly you DON'T like, other than boredom that is." Their conversation is interrupted when they saw the news played on the TV hanging from the wall of the cafeteria. "Just a few hours ago, a mysterious green colored gemstone was found here in the construction site." The news reporter announced. "However, this gemstone seems to be radiating some kind of energy not native to this world that demagnitises machinery. If you notice statics surging through the screen, that's all because of the gemstone." Meanwhile, back in the Thorndyke Mansion, Cream, Cheese, Fluttershy, Angel, Pinkie, Derpy and Pocky were all together in the living room, watching TV and eating cupcakes and muffins. "We have no clue of what this gem could be, but we were able to confirm that it was the reason why one of the construction site's diggers went out-of-control and the reason why you're hearing the strange noises on the screen, due to the interference of the broadcast of its energy." The news reporter continued, she shows a rough sketch of the green Chaos Emerald. "Here is a sketch of what the gemstone looks like." Cream, Cheese and Pocky gasped in shock. "A CHAOS EMERALD!" they shouted, while Cheese chippered. "Chaos Emerald?" Pinkie and Derpy asked. "Is that is one of the Chaos Emeralds you and your friends told us about?" Fluttershy asked. "Yeah!" Cream said. "We've got to let Sonic-san and the others know!" "Right behind you Cream!" Pocky said. Cream left the room with Cheese and Pocky, Fluttershy, Angel, Pinkie and Derpy followed them behind. At the workshop, Sonic, Rainbow Dash, Tormenta and Hawkeem were by the entrance, Tormenta looked like he had a blast riding Dash, but Hawkeem looked like he was about to throw up from riding with Sonic. "Don't worry, you'll get used to it." Sonic said to Hawkeem with a deadpan look. "Easy said than done! I'm not as young as I used to be!" Hawkeem complained. A blue vein sticks out of his forehead "Oh get over it." Rainbow said. "Anyway, this is it!" "So this is our new escondorismo?" Tormenta asked staring at the workshop. "It's only part of the mansion over there." Sonic said pointing out the huge mansion nearby. "But yeah, this is where we're staying." "Ok, but where's Twilight and the others?" Hawkeem asked. "They are probably upstairs." Rainbow said. "Let's go inside!" They step into the workshop, as both Sonic and Rainbow shout out: "Hey guys, we're back!" Tails, Twilight, Spike, Amy, Rarity and Chuck came down to see them. "Welcome back Sonic and Rainbow and…" Tails noticed Hawkeem and Tormenta. "Uh, who are your new friends?" "Hawkeem!" Twilight shouted in surprise. "And LT!" Spike shouted in surprise as well. "Twilight and amigos!" Tormenta rushed to embrace Twilight, Spike and Rarity, while Hawkeem smiled a bit. "Heya y'all!" Applejack came in and noticed Tormenta and Hawkeem. "Whoa, Hawkeem, LT!" "Holla Applejack!" Tormenta embrace her as well. "Sonic, who are they?" Amy asked. "Just two of our little pony and baby dragon's friends." Sonic said. "The Sahuagin is La Tormenta and the griffin is Hawkeem." Rainbow introduced them. "I see, seems you've found more of your friends then." Chuck smiled. "Sonic-san! Sonic-san! We've got big problems!" La Tormenta put his friends down. "Someone's con problemas?" Sonic went to check and saw Cream and the others rushing over toward them. "Sonic-san! We've got big problems!" Cream said. "Chao, chao!" Cheese said. "Yeah, they found a Chaos Emerald!" Pocky said. "What? Really?" Sonic gawked. "Chaos Emerald, qué es eso?" Tormenta showed up behind Sonic along with Hawkeem. Cream, Cheese and Pocky gasped in shock in fear at the sight of the Sahuagin and the Griffin. "Sonic-san who…?" "LT! Hawkeemy! You're here and you're alright!" Pinkie exclaimed happily in a hyperactive manner. "YAY! That means the whole team is back together! Tails, Twilight, Spike, Rainbow, Amy, Rarity, Applejack and Chuck joined them and they were happy to see that everyone was finally together, except Angel wasn't happy to see Tormenta. While they were enjoying their reunion, Sonic turned back to Cream, Cheese and Pocky. "You were saying about a Chaos Emerald?" the blue hedgehog asked his fellow mobians. Meanwhile, on Eggman and Steam's base… Eggman, Steam and their robotic minions and criminal thugs were watching the news about the Chaos Emerald on TV, the villains grinned evilly at this. "In the area around the site where the incident took place, no radiation has been detected. Just what made the stone affect this machine? Scientists are working hard to discover what it is. That's all for now. This is Scarlet Garcia reporting for SSTV." The news reporter, known as Scarlet Lucia announced, before the scene changed to the commercials. "So the Chaos Emeralds DID end up in this world too huh?" Eggman said sinisterly. "Well, I suppose we'll just have to go pick it up and add it to our collection." "It's a pity it isn't one of the Elements of Harmony but at least it is something close to them." Steam said and turned to his human criminal minions. "Listen up you scumbags, go get that Emerald and don't fail us!" "As you command Steam-sama." The Thug Leader, known as Giovanni, complied, and turned to his men. "Alright you bums, move out!" The thugs complied, as he and Giovanni set out to get the Emerald. "Well, I suppose I should get going too." Eggman said and turned to his robots. "Decoe!" "Whish will it be this time Eggman-sama?" Decoe asked as he handed the tray with the card deck on it. "Let's see…" Eggman picked up the deck and looked over the cards. "Hmm, which one, which one…" Unable to decide, he places the entire deck in the slot-machine and pulls the lever. The wheels slide and in a few minutes, all of them stop, all showing the picture of a purple bird-like robot. "Ah-ha! E-11, Codename: Beacon! We'll use this robot!" Eggman decided. Giovanni and his goons take off in their dropship, followed by Beacon and Eggman in his Egg Mobile. "Once I have collected all the Chaos Emeralds, I'll finally be able to build my ultimate mech, and once I have built my ultimate mech, Sonic and his merry-bunch won't stand a chance!" Eggman laughed maniacally. However, they don't realize that one of the Southern Sea police officers spotted them on the move. He pulls out his walkie-talkie. "Sir! The terrorists are on the move!" he announced. Sonic X: Friendship is Universal Card #19 Name: Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik Age: ???

In the Thorndyke Mansion, Hawkeem and La Tormenta were already properly introduced and were already briefed about the Chaos Emeralds. After learning that the green Chaos Emerald was found in a construction site, Sonic and Rainbow Dash already left for the city and do some scouting. Tails, Amy, Twilight, Spike, Rarity and Pinkie got onboard the Tornado 2, as they get ready for take-off. "Tails-san, please be careful!" Cream said. "You got it!" Tails said. "But Sonic already went ahead of us; I wonder if he even knows where he's going." Amy wondered. "He doesn't, he just went on to scout the city for us." Tails said. "Yeah, and Dashie is helping him out, so don't worry!" Pinkie said cheerfully. Amy puffs in anger and jealousy, at the fact that Sonic and Rainbow are hanging out with each other too much. Tails, Twilight, Spike and Rarity noticed this and became worried. "Um, Pinkie, I don't think you should have mentioned "Dashie" in front of Amy." Rarity said. "Why not, she knows they are just helping each other out, it's not like she thinks they are going on a date or anything." Pinkie went on cheerfully, not realizing the damage she caused. "Uh oh…" Spike, Twilight, Rarity and Tails noticed Amy boiling up after Pinkie said "date". "THAT'S IT! TAILS, TAKE OFF RIGHT NOW!" Amy shouted in a rage. A red vein sticks out of her forehead "Eh, ok…" Tails nervously said. "Here we go!" And they took off into the skies in the Tornado 2. That leaves everyone else to ride in Chuck's car. Applejack sat on the front seat, with Fluttershy, Angel, Cream, Cheese, Derpy, Tormenta and Hawkeem sat in the back. "The city is around here, this time it's big…" Chuck said as he started his engine and followed after the Tornado 2. Meanwhile, Sonic and Rainbow Dash were searching the city streets from top to bottom while avoiding the attention of the human citizens. "Find anything yet?" Sonic asked. "Nope, nothing." Rainbow replied. "I wonder what's keeping Tails and the others." Sonic said as he raced up to the top of a building, Rainbow Dash flew by his side. Sonic then landed on top of a banner's pole and watched over the city. Rainbow Dash looked around while still in the air, her wings flapping. "We should be able to see if they are coming from up here." Rainbow said as she and Sonic looked over the city. Meanwhile, as Eggman, Beacon, Giovanni and his goons head for the city, the mad egg-shaped human noticed something on radar. "What's this?" he wondered. When he looked behind he saw a barrage of missiles headed for them. Eggman grinned evilly. "This should be fun! Beacon, do your stuff!" he ordered. Beacon acted itself as a decoy and drew the attention of the missiles, making them come after it. As Beacon flew around, with missiles on its tail, it flew down toward the ocean, when it was near, it slowed down and turn forward, as the missiles ended up landing in the ocean. "Hooooo ho ho ho ho! What was that? I thought this would be more exciting than that!" Eggman mocked with an evil laugh. Giovanni and his goons laughed evilly, and at the same time they were impressed how Eggman's robot countered the military's attempt at thwarting their plans. "With this kind of power, we can control not just Station Square, but the whole world too!" Giovanni said. "I am glad I joined forces with Steam and Eggman, are you all?" "Yeah!" his goons replied. "Well, enough fun and games for now, let's go get that Chaos Emerald!" Eggman declared. The villains continue on en route to Station Square. Back in school, Chris and Kat were attending their own classes with Mr. Stewart and Ms. Brenda as their respective teachers. In Chris' class, the young boy noticed the Tornado 2 fly by the window and gasped in surprise. "Chris? What's the matter?" Francis asked him. "Uh…it's nothing…" Chris turned to his teacher. "Excuse me, Mr. Stewart, there's some important business I need to attend to!" he said as he ran out of the classroom. "Chris?!" Danny and Francis said in confusion, along with the other classmates. "Everyone settle down!" Mr. Stewart calmed his class down. "I too have forgotten something important that I need to attend. I'll leave you all for self-study until I get back." He said before leaving the class room. "Huh?!" the entire classroom fell into confusion. Meanwhile, in Kat's class, they were trying to solve a question that Ms. Brenda had given them. However, Kat also noticed the Tornado 2 fly past the window and gasped. "Kat? Are you alright?" Nate asked. "Uh, nothing…" Kat said and turned to Ms. Brenda. "Hey Ms. Brenda, I just remembered I'm needed someplace else, see ya!" she ran out of the classroom. "Wha?! Katty?" Lucy asked in confusion, along with Nate, Tucker and the rest of the class. "Quiet everyone!" Ms. Brenda silenced them. "I'm afraid I'm needed someplace else too. I'll leave you all to continue your studies on your own until I return." She also left the classroom. "Huh?!" Nate, Lucy, Tucker and the whole class became confused. Leaving the school, Chris jumped on his skateboard, he was joined by Kat on her roller-skates. "You saw them too, didn't you?" Chris asked. "Uh huh." Kat said. "Something big is going down." "Right, let's follow them!" Chris said. The Thorndyke siblings went after the Tornado 2, they also notice their Grandpa's car following them, but it was going too fast for them to catch up. They notice the Sahuagin and the Griffin with them and wonder who they are, but shrug it off for now, they needed to know what was up and help them. Little do they know that Mr. Stewart, along with Ms. Brenda were following behind them in their car, but not too close otherwise their cover would be blown. Meanwhile, Sonic and Rainbow Dash were still waiting for their friends, until they notice both the Tornado 2 and Chuck's car. "They're finally here." Sonic said. "They sure took their sweet time." Rainbow said. "SONIKUU!" Amy shouted waving at Sonic. "Over here!" "Yo, we see you!" Sonic waved back along with Rainbow. "You guys took your sweet time to get here! What took ya?" he joked a bit, before he and Rainbow went after them. Sonic ran and jumped from building to building, while Rainbow simply flew after them. At the construction site… The media and the police had the whole place surrounded, and there was a crowd of people wondering what was going on and those who already knew wanted to see the emerald, but the police barred them out. The spot where the emerald was found was covered by a blue sheet, preventing its energy from magnetizing any electronic device around. "I think Horie Izumi will have a clean sweep." A camera crew man said. "You think?" a camera man asked. "What do you think about the Snakes, then? I want to see the closing season. Huh?" The camera man noticed three flying objects approaching. "What are those?" "Huh? What's the matter?" the camera crew guy asked. "What's wrong?" Scarlet asked. "It's probably nothing but…let's see…" the camera man zooms in with his camera on the three objects and gasps in horror, as he at least recognizes one of them. "It's Dr. Eggman!" Everyone gasped in shock and horror. Sonic and Rainbow were on their way to the construction site, except they stop for a moment when they notice a crowd of people running down the streets in panic. "What's going on?" Rainbow asked confused. "I think I know." Sonic noticed Eggman, Beacon and the Dropship heading for the construction site. "Looks like Eggman is after the Chaos Emerald too! What do you say we take care of them?" "Exactly what I was thinking!" Rainbow said with a grin. The two speeders decided going after Eggman and his allies. "Oh, that must be it!" Eggman saw the construction site. "Well, you boys ready?" "Yes sir!" Giovanni and his men complied. "Good, then…huh?" Eggman noticed Sonic and Rainbow headed for them. "Ha, so they are after the Emerald too huh? E-11 Beacon, take care of them and don't let them get the Emerald!" Beacon complied as it turned around and flew toward Sonic and Rainbow, while Eggman, Giovanni and his goons continued on to the construction site. "What?" Sonic and Rainbow notice Beacon but… WHAM! "Ouch!" Sonic was knocked away by Beacon's charge attack. "Sonic!" Rainbow cried. "Rainbow! Go after Eggman and that dropship!" Sonic yelled, before Beacon attacked him again. "OUCH!" "NO! I can't just leave you!" Rainbow said. "I'll be fine Rainbow, just go and GET THAT EMERALD, NOW!" Sonic tried to fight back, but was getting beaten down by Beacon. "Sonic…" Rainbow didn't like leaving others in peril, but it looked she had no choice. "Ok…don't get killed okay?" "I won't!" Sonic flinched, before Beacon attacked him again. Rainbow ends up leaving Sonic to deal with Beacon by himself and went after Eggman, she noticed the others in Chuck's car, she decides to go down and check on them. As Sonic was having trouble dealing with Beacon, Tails and the others showed up in the Tornado 2. "Sonic's in trouble! Amy, the ring, quick!" Tails ordered. "Right!" Amy pulled out a power ring. "SONIC! OVER HERE!" Amy threw the ring at Sonic, the blue hedgehog tried to catch it, but Beacon ends up pushing him aside, causing him to miss the ring as it fell down to the streets. "No way!" Sonic yelled as he lost the ring. "Darn! He couldn't get it!" Amy said worried. "No worries, I've got this!" Pinkie said as she pulled out her Party Cannon and tried to aim for Beacon. "Pinkie, what are you doing?!" Twilight asked. "I'm gonna blast that meanie-junky bird out of the skies!" Pinkie said, but Twilight, Spike Rarity, and Amy stop her. "NO! That thing is moving way too fast!" Twilight warned. "AND you might end up hitting Sonic by accident!" Amy warned. "Aw phooey!" Pinkie cursed to herself as she was forced to put her Party Cannon away. "Can't you get us close Tails?" Spike asked. "But not too close, that horrible flying monstrosity might attack us if you do!" Rarity warned. "I'll try!" Tails said. Meanwhile, Eggman and the thugs were nearing the construction site, but Eggman noticed Rainbow Dash headed for them. "Dammit! That Pegasus is headed for us!" He cursed, but then he noticed Chuck's car below, he noticed Cream and Cheese in it, and grinned evilly. "Giovanni, do you see that car below! They are after the Emerald as well! Hold them off while I get the Emerald myself!" "Roger!" Giovanni complied. Rainbow Dash noticed the dropship descending down toward Chuck's car, she realized it was going to attack it. "Oh hay seeds! I've got to save them!" she said to herself, but noticed Eggman continuing on. "But if Eggman gets there first…" The dropship brings out its weapons and aim for the car. "Ready, aim, FIRE!" Giovanni ordered, and the weapons began to fire at them. The explosions caused Chuck to almost lose control of his car. "Whoa!" he exclaimed, along with the rest. "EEEEK!" Cream and Fluttershy cried. "Oh my God!" Pocky cried. "What in tarnation!?" Applejack gawked, holding onto her hat. "What just pasó?!" Tormenta demanded. "That is what "pasó"!" Hawkeem pointed out the dropship flying after them. "Uh oh, its little things are glowing!" Derpy noticed. "It's gonna fire at us again! Hang on tight!" Chuck announced. He started driving like crazy while dodging the dropship's weapons, everyone hung on for dear life, while Cream and Fluttershy cried in panic, and embracing Cheese and Angel respectively. Rainbow couldn't stand it anymore, as she couldn't leave her friends in danger. "That's it! Those bastards are going down!" Rainbow declared in anger as she flew toward the dropship. A red vein sticks out of her forehead She started slamming her hoofs on the dropship, followed by punching, kicking, and bucking, until it got its attention. "Gotcha!" Giovanni grinned evilly as he fired its weapons at Rainbow, who dodged them. "Rainbow Dash!" Fluttershy cried. "Be careful y'all, if that than hits it ya…" Applejack tried to warn her. "I'll draw it' attention, you guys better get going!" Rainbow shouted, while dodging the dropship's attacks. "I'm afraid that isn't going to happen!" Giovanni grinned as one of his men, fired its rifle at one of the car's tires, causing it to go flat. "Dammit!" Chuck cursed as he lost speed due to the flat tire. "At this rate we'll never get there on time!" "Leave them ALONE YOU JERKS!" Rainbow kept on attacking the dropship with all her might. "Ugh, all that pounding is driving me crazy!" one of the thugs complained. "It's time to land and slaughter them!" Giovanni declared as he ended up landing the dropship. As it did, all the thugs, dressed in combat armor rush out of the ship and charge at the car. "Those aren't robots!" Cream exclaimed. "And they don't look like one of them fancy lookin' officers either!" Applejack commented. "What do we do?!" Pocky asked. "No temas! For La Tormenta is here to salvar el día!" Tormenta declared as he charged at the thugs. "There he goes again." Hawkeem exasperated. A sweat drop rolled down the side of his head "Guess we ain't got a choice." Applejack said as she hoped out of the car. "Come on y'all, its go time!" "Yeah!" Rainbow said as she joined in the fighting. "Yeah, butter them muffins!" Derpy piped in. Rainbow Dash, La Tormenta, Applejack were the first ones to charge at the thugs. The human criminals attacked our heroes with their weapons, including batons, electric chargers, rifles and laser rifles. But they didn't give up as they took them down one by one. Rainbow used her speed and agility to dodge their attacks before landing a good buck to the face. La Tormenta used his amazing Mexican wrestling skills to beat them down like rag dolls and Applejack used her lasso tricks to wrap them up spin them around and throw them at another group of thugs, knocking them down like bowling pins. Hawkeem, Fluttershy, Angel, Cream and Cheese soon joined them. The old griffin brings his enemies down using his staff and his talons to leave some nasty wounds. Cream and Fluttershy use their Teamwork with Cheese and Angel to outsmart and defeat the thugs, with a little courage and because they want to protect their friends. Last, Pocky uses his jumping skills to jump on the thug's heads and trick them into attacking each other. Meanwhile, Eggman manages to get to the construction site. He removed the sheet off the ground and started digging, until he found the Green Chaos Emerald. "There she is!" Eggman was about to pick it up, but someone else grabbed it before he did. "Wha-?! Who dares?!" "So, this is one of the Chaos Emeralds?" Chris asked holding the Chaos Emerald in hand. "Looks like it." Kat said. "Excuse me." Eggman tapped Chris' left shoulder with his finger. "Huh?" Chris looked, and with his right hand, Eggman knocked the emerald off of Chris' hand and it landed on Eggman's left hand. "Hey! You thief!" Chris and Kat yelled. "Thief? Sorry kids, but this Eggman is a thief by nature!" Eggman chuckled evilly. "Sayonara!" Eggman jumped onboard his Egg Mobile, but Chris and Kat jump in as well and try to grab the Emerald from him, but Eggman keeps pushing them. "Give it back! It's ours!" Kat yelled. "The Chaos Emeralds are MINE, not yours!" Eggman yelled. "No they're not! They belong to Sonic and his friends!" Chris yelled. "Well, TOO BAD!" Eggman pushes them off his Egg Mobile and flies away. But he doesn't realize that Chris managed to grab onto the rod underneath it, while Kat wrapped her arms around Chris' torso. Meanwhile, Sonic was getting tired of being treated like a ball by Beacon, but when he noticed the Tornado 2 coming up and Amy having another ring ready, he took his chance. As Beacon charged at him again, Sonic regained his balance and kicked Beacon right on top of his head before jumping up to the Tornado 2. "Here Sonic, CATCH!" Amy threw the second ring at Sonic. "GOT IT!" Sonic grabbed the ring and focused as he channeled its power into him. He glares down at Beacon who was charging up on him again. "It's PAYBACK TIME!" Sonic yelled and curled up into his Spin Dash ball form and homes in on Beacon. He smashed his way right into its head and out from behind. The damage on Beacon caused the robot bird to short out and explodes into a million pieces. Then a small humanoid blue bird flew out of the explosion. "Free at last!" the bird cheered happily. "Thank you Sonic-san!" "No problem Flicky!" Sonic replied with a smile and a thumbs up. "Alright! Way to go Sonic!" Amy cheered. "And another one of Sonic's friends has been saved!" Twilight smiled, referring to Flicky. Meanwhile, Rainbow and the rest of the gang managed to defeat all the thugs, only Giovanni remains, as he walks out in his combat armor. "You must be the big boss huh?" Rainbow asked. "Well, as you can see, we took care of your men, now it's your turn for a beat down!" "You think you're so strong, just because you defeated them all huh?" Giovanni chuckled evilly. "Well, it seems you have forgotten about my best men, the only two henchmen I trust: Fear and Pain!" He brought out two over-the-top futuristic looking rifle guns, each with the names "Fear" and "Pain" written on their sides. "Bring it on ya loser!" Rainbow dared. "Just do your worst!" Giovanni sneered as he pointed his rifles at Rainbow Dash and her friends. The Rainbow Pegasus and her allies get ready, while Giovanni charges up his weapons to full power. After a 10 seconds flat moment of glaring at each other, Giovanni fires his weapons, as Rainbow Dash and her friends charged at him and as camera turns into slow-motion, they manage to swiftly dodge the blasts, and… WHAM! BAM! CRACK! SMASH! BUCK! CHAO! BOOM! As the dust cleared Giovanni lay down on the ground, beaten up, and bruised up, bleeding and his combat armor in pieces, as Rainbow Dash and her friends surrounded him. "That'll teach you to mess with my pals!" Rainbow yelled. "We may look cute, but "cute" doesn't mean "weak"…right?" Fluttershy asked. "No it doesn't." Applejack confirmed. "That was fun!" Pocky said. "Yeah!" Derpy agreed. "The muffins have been buttered!" "Heh…you may…have me…beat…but…the Chaos Emerald…is…still…ours…!" Giovanni utter in between spitting teeth and blood before passing out. Rainbow realized something. "Oh no! The Chaos Emerald!" Then they heard screaming from above, along with Sonic and the others. They look up and gasp in shock as they saw Eggman flying away in his Egg Mobile, with Chris holding onto the rod underneath and Kat holding onto his torso. "CHRIS! KAT!" Sonic, Rainbow and their friends gawked. "My grandchildren!" Chuck gasped in horror. "What are they doing?! Are they CRAZY?!" Twilight gawked in horror. "Never mind that, we've got to SAVE THEM!" Tails said. "Let's go!" Sonic raced ahead of them, followed by Rainbow Dash. Tails and the others on the Tornado 2 followed them afterwards. Onboard the Egg Mobile, Eggman sneered as he stared at the Chaos Emerald in his hand. "Ho ho ho ho! I only need six more and then I'll build the ultimate weapon!" he declared. Chris manages to climb up to the Egg Mobile's tail, while Kat holds onto him from behind. "What's the plan Nii-chan?" Kat asked in a low voice. "I'll take him from the left and you take him from the right." Chris whispered. "Roger!" Kat said. The Thorndyke siblings climbed up the Egg Mobile, Chris from the left and Kat from the right. What they didn't know is that Eggman was already aware of this as he sneers and begins to tilt his Egg Mobile left and right, trying to shake them off. "Ho ho ho ho! You thought I wasn't aware that you little brats managed to sneak on board did you?" Eggman laugh sinisterly as he tried to shake them both off. Chris and Kat screamed in horror as they struggle to hold on, until both manage to grab onto Eggman's mustache, from each end, causing him to scream in pain. "LET GO OF MY MUSTACHE YOU DAMN BRATS!" Eggman yelled as he continued to try and shake them both off, as Chris and Kat held onto his mustache. Ultimately, he manages to shake them both off, sending them screaming up at the top of their lungs while falling to their doom. "My most prominent feature." Eggman said adjusting his mustache. "It's just a little stretched…" But then he noticed something horrible. "AH! MY EMERALD IS GONE!" he screamed. Indeed, Chris managed to snatch the Emerald from Eggman, but now both he and Kat were falling toward their doom, screaming at the top of their lungs. Mr. Stewart and Ms. Brenda noticed it as they gasped in horror. "Quick, we've got to save them!" Ms. Brenda said. "Right!" Mr. Stewart pressed a button opening his car's roof and inflating the backseats. "I just hope we make it on time!" he said as he hit the gas. They were almost about to hit the concrete ground, Mr. Stewart tries to speed up but then he and Brenda heard an explosion from behind. They looked and gasp in shock as they saw Sonic performing his Sonic Boost and Rainbow Dash performing her Sonic Rainboom, both got right past them. Sonic jumps up and catches Chris in his arms, while Rainbow gets under Kat and she lands on her back. Both Speed Heroes race down the street, followed by the Tornado 2, Tails, Twilight and the others cheering for them. Mr. Stewart stopped the car by the side-walk; both he and Ms. Brenda sighted in relief, as Mr. Stewart deflated the back seats and closed the roof. "Looks like we've got worried for nothing." Mr. Stewart said. "Indeed." Ms. Brenda agreed. "Let's head back to the school." "Right." Mr. Stewart said, as they drove back to school. Later that evening… Applejack and the others rounded up Giovanni and his men and hand-cuffed them all together and left them on the scene with the dropship, which Chuck removed its fuel from it and filled a tank with it. After replacing the flat tire, they all returned to the Thorndyke Mansion. Later on, the police arrived and they found Giovanni and his men all rounded up with the dropship. Recognizing him and his men as local street thugs, they arrested them on the spot and the dropship was taken away back to Area 99. Back in the Thorndyke Mansion… "Look, look! It's a Chaos Emerald!" Chris and Kat showed the Chaos Emerald to everyone (with Flicky also in the mix). "Well done you two!" Tails said. "Excellent work!" Twilight said. "Way to go y'all!" Applejack said. "Yay! First Chaos Emerald Get Party!" Pinkie cheered throwing confetti at Chris and Kat and blowing a party whistle. "All begins with one!" Cream said. "Only six more to go!" Amy said. "But we can't keep it like this, since it affects machines." Chuck said. "Don't worry, with my mechanical talent and Twilight's magic, we'll make sure it doesn't cause any significant damage!" Tails said. "Right Twilight?" "Uh, right!" Twilight said blushing embarrassed. "But I gotta say, you kids are CRAZY after pulling off a stunt like you did!" Spike said. "Whish reminds me…" Chris and Kat turned to Sonic who was resting by the window and Rainbow Dash who was resting on a pillow. "We're sorry guys." Chris said. "About what?" Sonic asked while Rainbow gave them a questioning look. "For making you worry…" Chris said sadly. "Yeah, it was inexcusably reckless of us…" Kat agreed, who also looked sad. "Don't worry about it too much." Sonic said. "Besides, going against Eggman the way you did, it was pretty awesome!" he said with a grin, a wink and a thumbs up. "Yeah squirt, you reminded me a lot about this certain filly I know!" Rainbow winked. "Really?" Kat asked along with Chris. "Yeah!" Sonic agreed. "For sure!" Rainbow agreed. "I just know she and Scootaloo would get along swimmingly!" "However, next time, try not to do anything rash like that." Chuck said. "Or you'll be no different than Sonic or Rainbow Dash!" he chuckled. "Yes!" Chris and Kat agreed. The Thorndyke siblings looked at Sonic and Rainbow Dash, then at Tails, Amy, Twilight Sparkle, Spike, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Cream the Rabbit, Cheese, Fluttershy, Angel Bunny, Applejack, Derpy Hooves, La Tormenta, Hawkeem, and last Pocky and Flicky. They look down and admire the green Chaos Emerald on Chris' hand, glowing radiantly. The first Chaos Emerald has been collected, thanks to the efforts of the Thorndyke siblings. Only six more remain. But what about the Elements of Harmony? And what will Eggman and Steam do next? The adventures of the Sonic Heroes, the Mane party, and the Thorndyke siblings was far from over! (BGM: Mi-Ra-I - Run&Gun) It was night time, in the living room of Chris and Kat's mansion, Sonic and Rainbow Dash's friends are all asleep on the coach and on the floor around the couch, while Sonic and Rainbow Dash stayed up late watching clips of the episode that had just played at the time. You ready for the trip? Just one more day to go Put on a new shirt And let's sneak off in the night The sleepless city is even today Still just looking over us Why don't we sing it a new song Events that could make you cry Remembering without reason With sound of the heels of our boots Let's run through quickly Doing things skillfully may be fine But as we are clumsily standing here That's what I really like about you To shine bright, and be free Nothing to be afraid of. Since we've rode the waves of time, Let's start aiming for that far off road Saying goodbye to the boring days There's nothing to be lost Stubbornly tie the boots once more Let's open a new door The sleepless city is even today Quietly just looking over us Let's start from here! To shine bright, and be free Nothing to be confused about The waves of time are strong yet gentle Soon I will meet you there Let's light up our world After finishing watching, Sonic turned the TV off and they both went to sleep. The next morning, they woke up when suddenly Ella picked them both up and placed them on the couch. Sonic and Rainbow look at Ella wondering what that was about, Ella points out the message on the wall next to the TV. It was written in Japanese: "When watching TV, keep the lights on and a safe distance from the TV." To shine bright, and be free Nothing to be afraid of. Since we've rode the waves of time, To the other side of the far off road, Soon I will meet you there Let's go and find our future Realizing their mistake, Sonic and Rainbow Dash stared at each other embarrassed, laughing sheepishly. Sweatdrops rolled down the sides of their heads, one on each They look at Ella and apologize, promising to never stay too close to the TV and with the lights off again. (BGM ends)
