Chapter 72: Heavy Wagers
Celestia was walking in front of them. Tails was walking next to her and JetStream seemed a little too curious about the machine, as he just looking back at it, 'What are we going to do with that?' he wondered as he thought of this all ending. JetStream looked back, and they were just going though the doors to the main room, only to go back across. Tails looked back.
"Pace yourself, JetStream. Get up here." JetStream moved in a way that shook his walking, and eventually started to keep up, "Don't worry." he responded. Celestia kept walking, although she was relieved to be free, she did have some very threatening business, even if it was asleep. She and all the other ponies had this whole land mass to save, assuming he wouldn't get that far. It seemed she'll no longer be seen with a smile. As Tails was on Celestia's left, JetStream went to the right.
"Princess Celestia? What are we going to do with Eggman?"
"I hope to bring him back to where he was." Tails nodded.
"Right." but at the same he thought, 'Sadly it'll be the same for us...'
"Of course." JetStream responded to Celestia. But his smile dropped when he looked toward Tails, he looked depressed for some reason, 'Hmmm...' they all went through the two doors and were walking down the hallway. And while they did, JetStream's heart began to beat faster, as if something was about to happen. Celestia opened the final door, and appeared before everybody. JetStream and Tails followed after.
"You got it off!" Exteeled exclaimed, Midnight Blossom just stood there.
"What a team..." she thought to herself.
"Way to go, Tails!" Sonic exclaimed. Tails rose his left hand.
"Celestia's the one who showed me." Sonic shrugged and gave him a thumbs up, Tails just snickered and looked to the corner of his eyes as Celestia began to make her way to the cell, where Eggman was now just standing in there.
"It's a pleasure seeing you once again, Princess. What are your commands as of now?" his sarcasm was up to date.
"For what you've done, this obviously deserves a punishment to be in order." Eggman put his hands together.
"Ah, I see. And what is this, punishment?" you couldn't tell if he wanted to hear or not. Celestia looked Eggman right in the eye.
"For you to head back to the previous universe, and never come back..."
'Talk about straight to the point...' Midnight Blossom thought.
"My, my. This is a well deserved punishment, your highness." her head went slightly up, as she could look down at Eggman.
"That's is true, I am not finished just yet. You're going back to universe with nothing you used on ours." Eggman actually didn't like the sound of that.
"What!? There's actually some good information in there!" it almost seemed like he was pleading, even so, Celestia didn't look amused.
"Maybe so, but as for as I can tell, your information hasn't done much good for us..." her statement was very blank, Eggman stood back away from the bars, his expression changed entirely.
'Did Celestia just see past Eggman's physical expressions?' JetStream thought. It seemed JetStream was easily impressed when it came to Celestia and what her ability had to offer, 'I wonder how she became princess anyway...' he felt like he'd need the sooner the better.
"And lastly..." Celestia suddenly continued.
"I need everypony free being your hostage." Eggman sank, and sighed.
"Oh well, I did what I could..." he said to himself.
"And you're going to be doing so much more..." Celestia replied to his statement.
"Alright, so you want me to free your ponies?" Celestia nodded.
"As it's the most importance, I pity you for thinking in such a way." just as Celestia finished, Eggman walked up to the cell bars and head out the same controller with the big red button in the middle. Celestia looked at Eggman in a way and continued to levitate in her magic as a gold glow appeared around the device, and the button went into the device.
'I think I'm sick of buttons for today...' JetStream and Tails thought as JetStream walked toward the door.
"Where you going, JetStream?" he didn't answer as he walked out the door. After about a minute, JetStream trotted back in.
"Those robots stopped moving." Tails nodded after hearing so. Sonic walked up to the cell as well.
"Hey Eggman, whatever happened to the Time Eater?" he sighed.
"After using too much of its power for the roboticizer, it vanished. I haven't seen it since and probably never will." Sonic raised his hands in the air.
"Great!" he shouted in anger. Knuckles turned around from the talk he was having.
"What is it, Sonic?"
"Even though it was Eggman's instrument for destruction, The thing that created the portal here is gone... How are we all supposed to get back?" Twilight looked to Sonic.
"We could try creating our own." Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Eggman jumped.
"What!?"
