Chapter 34: Sudden Turns
The last noticeable things, was that JetStream was significantly taller, his saddle-bag ended up slipping off his back, and fell to the crystal ground and pushed dust it collected over time. And secondly, his ears were at a slight angle instead of pointing straight out. He turned to his friend as they stared in shock. And he started to laugh, "JetStream!" if they listened carefully, that wasn't JetStream laughing at all, Tails turned towards Knuckles, and Sonic.
"We got to get the Chaos Emerald from him..." Sonic and Knuckles nodded simultaneously, Tails topped himself, "Shouldn't I've told them without possibly harming him?" he quietly asked himself, only to rush right after towards JetStream. Which got into a wide defense stance, and was ready to get hit.
"Come at me!" his non-existent horn started to glow black as well. Sonic and Knuckles jumped at him, only to stop in mid-air. They were both motionless, as time was stuck itself.
"What's going on? We can't move!" Knuckles struggled, when Sonic realized something.
"Knuckles!" he exclaimed a black glow started forming around them.
"Prepare to be-!" they were suddenly thrown at high speeds, when they luckily caught their footing.
"One time was enough, but this is just getting ridiculous..." Sonic stated. He turned towards Knuckles after a short pause, "You ready to be a distraction?" Knuckles nodded.
"Yea- wait what?" Sonic dashed forward, and Knuckles groaned and ran afterword. Knuckles once again decided to go for a straight on attack, as soon as he reached him, JetStream caught him once again, only to give Sonic enough time to grab the Emerald. But in all vain, he caught him sneaking up as well. The Emerald's power seemed to give him a heightened sense in Aura ability as well as magic. Holding both of them in his magic grip, he turned toward the door again, letting them watch the story in front of them unfold. While JetStream was continuously talking about the spectacle in front, Tails saw the Emerald, JetStream was possessing, his heart started to race.
'I need to get the Emerald...' in all nervousness, he tip-toed his way to the Emerald, shining his direction. Once he knew he was close enough, with his tails, he jumped up and swiped it.
"Fly away, Tails!"
"What?" JetStream turned around to see a figure going in the opposite direction, in the hand of this figure, something that he needed dearly, "No! Give that back!" Tails ignored it as best as he could, and tried to fly even faster as he disappeared in the Crystal Empire's buildings that surrounded. Knuckles crossed his arms.
"Can't do anything without that, can ya?" JetStream snickered as he turned looking toward the ground. He spoke with his new unforgivable voice.
"Yes, that is quite true..." he slowly looked up, his expression was relaxed, "But I couldn't do it alone." Sonic and Knuckles washed over with fear, looked at one another horribly.
"What do you mean by that?" Sonic looked at him, angry. Sonic and Knuckles stared into those sun-burnt eyes, they felt a short cold wave floor through them, they were then completely paralyzed. As JetStream set them both back down, they were standing, when their eyes turned green, and their iris and pupils turned red.
"Find that friendly fox of yours!" Sonic and Knuckles both ran to the end of the top floor and jumped off. Their destination was the city before them, "... I've regained more power then I thought..." he smiled lovingly towards himself, his horn Aura glowed black as he vanished, only to teleport to the front of the Crystal Empire, "Oh..." he started walking to the city his half self once knew, "This is going to be, a lot, of fun..." he gained a demonic grin.

Back at the Crystal Empire, on the top floor. The replay of history was still going strong, but only to the end of it. The pony warding off the others breaking through the door was shooting his massive spell, but just as the door couldn't take it, the ball of magic exploded near the top of this monument of stone and dirt way back then. It just kept expanding until it consumed the entire Crystal Empire. It ended up in a big explosion that went away within minutes, only to show that all the weird looking ponies JetStream and his friends never seen before, were suddenly gone, and so was the pony defending himself. The replay of history was reaching the final seconds before it would cut. The only difference of now and before the explosion....
Was the tower somehow was turned into crystal....
