Chapter 49: Catch that plane!
"No... no... dang, not that one either." he ended up checking almost all of the allies he could find, until he found another alleyway and his fur felt really fluffy for some reason, as soon as he ended up in front of one of the alleyways. Sonic looked back.
"JetStream, there you are. Thought we lost you, mind giving us some help." he shook the feeling off and continued to walk up to them.
"Yeah, of course... but, how do you expect us to get it out of there?" Sonic looked too unsure as he scratched his head.
"That's the part we're stuck on..." JetStream stood there, thinking then and there what he could do.
"Hey, Sonic." he stopped to look at JetStream again.
"What is it?"
"Are the Chaos Emeralds, bonded? As in power or anything in that way?"
"Oh, definitely." Knuckles answered, JetStream was surprised him answering suddenly, Tails got JetStream's attention.
"Take it from him, he was basically guarding them." JetStream looked like he considered it, as Knuckles turned and pointed at Tails.
"And I still do." Tails nodded.
"Of course." he smiled. JetStream pulled the only Chaos Emerald that had its color.
"The white Emerald is the only one with color right now. And the other is stuck in time right before our eyes..." he closed his eyes and began to sync with the Emerald, 'Alright, lets see if it has enough power after all this time being with it...' the Emerald started to glow. As the Emerald was shining, the sun seemed to poke out, and at some points hit the Emerald with its light. As the light hit the same white sphere started to form around JetStream, it caught all their attention.
"JetStream, what's going on?" Tails asked, he seemed worried than curious.
"... It's the same way I got out after the Time Eater had me stuck in there, the Glassed Hill." Sonic jumped.
"That's what happened!?" JetStream nodded with a frown.
"Yeah, after he shot the sphere, I was stuck in the Glassed Hill. I was either going to find a way out... or get trapped in there..." Sonic walked up to JetStream, this anger was driven by worry.
"And why did you decide to stay in there when you knew there was danger?" JetStream took a step back.
"I... I get some sort of feeling of... oh what's the word..." Sonic just waited for the word.
"... Well, you get an idea, or inspiration...?" he was obviously unsure of his choices. Sonic sighed and looked back toward the plane. JetStream instantly went back to the Emerald, which slightly dimmed after the conversation. After a long pause, it finally came to him.
"... I stayed there to find a way to get rid of the spheres... and I ended up finding it saving myself..." the Emerald glowed brightly, as it was ready for use, 'Maybe this, Unlimited Power, was something to be exaggerated...' Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles turned around as they saw the glow.
"You ready, JetStream?" Sonic asked.
"Yes." he gave him a thumbs up, JetStream nodded back smiling. It was only one Emerald, but after the power surges that JetStream put it through, it seemed to be as powerful as at least four Emeralds than just one. He held it toward the sphere, the sphere around the white Emerald entered the grey sphere, leaving remains of a perfect circular hole in the grey sphere, "It's working..." JetStream assured.
"Sweet, great work..." although it looked easy enough, it was more difficult than it looked. JetStream decided to keep pushing the Emerald through until the other reacted, after a couple more seconds, the grey sphere started turning blue.
"Hey! I think the Emerald's reacting!"
"I think you're right, Tails..." as the grey slowly turned to a more blue tint, the plane seemed to fall toward the ground more and more, soon the plane landed on all three tires. Now what they waited for was soon to come. The outside of the sphere glowed.
"... Ah, that's really bright..." they ended up covering their eyes so they wouldn't figuratively go blind. As soon as it ended, they looked up.
"Incredible!" Tails ran up to the plane.
"... It's free!" JetStream expression showed his hard work, as he soon started walking to the plane as well, "Now all we need is a good place to take off!" Tails stated jumping into the pilot's seat, pressing every button, knowing what it does as he did, making sure it wasn't harmed. Knuckles walked up to JetStream, he put his hand on his mane.
"... Huh?" JetStream looked up.
"Ya know, for someone that's not to fond of that kind of stuff, you sure know what you'll be doing..." JetStream smiled.
"Thanks..." he tilted his head at him.
"Now come on, we gotta go." he patted his head before he moved to the plane. JetStream sighed at that playful gesture. As soon as everything was set, Tails drove the plane to a more open space, and prepared for his take off.
"Preparing for take-off!" Tails enthustuastically yelled. Sonic and JetStream rolled their eyes, as they couldn't be seen by Tails anyway, "Everyone ready?"
"Yes sir!" they responded in unison. Soon the plane started accelerating.
"Alright! Next stop, Canterlot!" as Tails stated as soon as they got air borne.
