Chapter 74: The cleanup
JetStream sighed as he sat their and then begun to put the Emeralds back in, and just as he sighed, he felt a chill go down his back. He quickly looked up and right toward Celestia, "..." he didn't say anything it's just that he had this feeling arise once again, only to look at Celestia, who hid her current gesture, as she was aware JetStream could figure, she just assumed to herself that she had gotten lucky. Just as JetStream got all the Emeralds in, Twilight walked up to JetStream. JetStream even jumped as he saw her standing there.
"Hi, JetStream." he stood up to meet to her near level, as JetStream's eyes reached just to Twilight's muzzle.
"Oh, hi, Twilight. Something you want... or need, at least?" he asked. Twilight was really silent, as if she was still deciding on whether to do this or not, but she was smiling. Tails walked up to Celestia.
"So, Princess. How are we going to get Eggman to Altamare as well, and probably without everypony there freaking out." Celestia smiled.
"When you get there, I will teleport him to you, they'll be no need for transport worries." Tails scratched his head and laughed softly.
"I guess it does naw a couple minutes off our time..." Knuckles was farther apart from everybody else.
"Hey, come on! I'm ready to get home!" Celestia gave a happy expression as Tails sighed.
"He's certainly ready..." Celestia stated as Tails turned around to catch up with Sonic, but then she suddenly remembered.
"Oh. Sonic, Tails! Please come back! I forgot to do something!" they both looked at each other and started walking back.
"What is it, Princess?" Sonic asked. Celestia didn't say anything in response, but she did have her horn start to glow. Which Sonic and Tails were confused at what was going on, but they decided to go along with it anyway. Two beams were shot directly at Tails and Sonic's chests, where they both looked up, "What was that, Celestia?" she smiled as she started to explain.
"That was a spell, as to where you think of a place, the spell will shoot out faster than you'll be able to open your eyes. It will help you pin-point your location once you have that Chaos Control of yours going." Tails jumped.
"Wow! Thank you, Princess!" Tails exclaimed.
"You're, indeed, welcome." she smiled. Tails started to catch up with Sonic as they headed behind the castle.
"Wait up, Sonic!" Twilight walked up to Celestia.
"Since when did you have a spell like that, Princess?" she giggled.
"Well, with the renown my title holds, using the spell, certainly keeps my sanity in check." Twilight could since Celestia was letting her whole "princess-royal-attitude" go, Twilight sighed.
"Alright." Once Celestia opened her eyes, she noticed JetStream was still standing around.
"Excuse me, JetStream." he shook his head, looking around.
"H-huh? What is it, C-Celestia?" he was acting very on edge suddenly, he definitely wasn't his laid back self anymore.
"Your friends are probably already at the castle, I think you should go join them." JetStream jumped.
"Oh, r-right!" as soon as JetStream started galloping, Twilight cleared her throat to catch his attention. His left ear twitched and he turned around, "Hmm?" Twilight started to hover his saddlebag towards him. Once JetStream was close enough, he stood still as Twilight lowered it onto his back, "Thanks, T-Twilight." he gestured a salute before heading off, Twilight snickered, which went into a giggle.
'He's surprisingly dull-witted...' Celestia started walking toward the castle as well.
"Follow, Twilight. We need to get ready for whenever they're ready." Twilight nodded and paced herself, "Right, Princess Celestia."
Meanwhile, at the Tornado-01
"Hurry up, JetStream!" Sonic stated.
"I'm co-coming!" he responded.
"You know, only before, Celestia suggested that we should go to Altamare... I don't know the specific reason why... But when I think about it, I think it's a better idea by second." after JetStream hopped into the plane, they started for their flight back home, or for what JetStream seemed as home. And about through the whole flight, he had one thing on his mind.
'How did Twilight learn to use her Aura like that..!?' he thought through feelings he really hasn't felt before.
