Chaos in Equestria

Sonic awoke in a dark place, his vision blurry after being hurled through the portal. He slowly sat up, letting his head recover from it all.

"Man what happened?" he groaned softly. Looking around he realized he was in a dark wooded area. "Well shoot…might as well get a move on see what I can find." He began to stand, a little wobbly as he took one step then another. Slowly making progress he continued to walk before trying to speed up. He took two steps in his attempt to run before hitting the ground. Groaning he got back up slowly, dirt covering his fur from the fall.

"Well darn….I won't be making much progress at this rate." He said starting to walk again, using the trees as supports whenever his balance faltered. Despite his rather decent progress he had to stop to rest, due to his muscles being sore from the fall and interdimensional transport. He panted as sweat dripped off his face toward the ground; he raised his head and noticed a hut in the distance.

"Here's hoping that someone lives there and is friendly" he said to himself before he began walking again. His legs cried out for rest as he walked, pushing through the discomfort to reach the hut. Step after agonizing step, for what seemed like hours but in reality was only a few minutes, he got closer and closer. "Help…me…." He called out as loud as he could before hitting the ground, hoping he was heard as he blacked out.

Meanwhile at Sweet Apple Acres

Applejack could be seen doing what she was good at, bucking the apples out of trees. Her little sister Applebloom could be seen helping with the wooden baskets full of apples, putting them where they were needed. She walked up to her big sister before asking, "Applejack, have you had a weird feeling about today?"

Applejack ceased her bucking to look at her little sister, "Well, no. Can't say that I have." She said before turning back and bucking the tree, making the apples fall into the baskets. "Why do you ask?"

"Well, it's because I've just had the oddest feeling about today. Like that everything is gonna change" Applebloom said with a bit of a worried expression on her face. Applejack just smiled at her sister before pulling her close to hug her, "it'll be alright ya silly filly" she said. "I mean it's not like some fellar who's all red in the face is gonna march onto the farm." As if on cue someone, or rather some Echidna of red fur limped onto the farm near the two sisters. He was holding his left arm since it was injured. His fur was dirty and messy from what he went through to get there. He took one look at them before hitting the ground, unconscious.

"you were sayin?" Applebloom asked, causing her older sister to smile nervously.

Everfree Forest

Sonic awoke rather drowsy from his ordeal, though something was different. He was lying in a bed inside the hut he guessed. He could hear what sounded like someone else moving about and doing something. Turning his head he was met with a curious site. A zebra, messing with a cauldron and apparently making a brew of sorts.

"what the?" he asked weakly, as he tried to sit up, which was difficult.

"ah, awoken has the one with fur of blue. Where do you come from? Tell me and tell me true" the Zebra spoke, judging by the voice it was female. Sonic was surprised she could talk, but also in rhyme. He did his best to shake off the confusion as he looked at her.

"come now, don't be shy. Tell me all you can, give it a try" she said.

Sonic thought for a moment before speaking, "my name is Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog." With a weak voice and smile he managed to tell her that. "what's your name?"

"Zecora is my name. and potion brewing is my game" she said with a smile. Sonic smiled a bit more, his whole body aching as he laid there. "rest is what you must do. When you wake I will have finished this brew" she said as she continued to work on it. He just nodded a bit before his eyes closed and he drifted off to sleep.

Sweet Apple Acres

The Echidna was lifted onto a bed, with a hefty grunt Applejack turned to her older brother. A Stallion with a red coat and orange mane, his cutie mark half a green apple. "Mighty thanks for the help Big Macintosh" she said. "Eeyup" he replied simply before looking at the echidna.

"sure is a strange feller, dunno where he came from" Applejack said. "Eeyup" Big Macintosh replied. Soon the eyes of said Echidna lifted up slowly, "Wha-where?" he asked weakly as he waited for his eyes to regain focus. When they did a smile was not what the first image brought. Quickly he jumped out of the bed and backed away from what he saw, which was ponies.

Applejack and her brother were both perplexed by that sudden movement. "You feelin alright partner?" Applejack asked.

"It talks?" he asked in shock. "Yes I do. And my name is not it. I'm Applejack" she said rather sternly. "Where is it?" Knuckles asked after his brain started to come back to him.

"Where is what?" Applejack asked. Knuckles growled before shouting "The Master Emerald! What did you do with it?"

"Calm down partner, we ain't got your Emerald thingie" she said. "Lies!" he shouted before charging at them. "Give me back the Emerald!" he shouted before being bucked in the head by Applejack, sending him into a wall and into sleep.

"Sheesh, I think he's a few trees short of an orchard" she said as she got him back onto the bed with the help of her brother, "Eeyup" he agreed.

Ponyville, Twilight's house

Twilight was looking over a few books on spell casting as she usually did. Using her magic to turn the page as she read. Spike was happily playing with his pet Phoenix, Peewee. The little bird chirping happily as they played. Twilight turned to watch them, smiling happily at how cute it was. Suddenly her name was heard being called; "Twilight!" three little voices were the source of the call. The door opened and the Cutie Mark Crusaders entered. An orange coated Pegasus filly with a magenta mane and tail named Scootaloo. A white unicorn filly with a purple and light purple mane named Sweetie Belle. And lastly Applebloom all fell through the door, looking frantic.

"what's all the commotion girls?" Twilight asked. "you gotta come see this" Applebloom said as she, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle urged her to come with them by nudging her legs.

"alright alright" she said before following the girls to their hangout. After a few minutes of running they arrived at the clubhouse on Sweet Apple Acres. "so what's going on?" Twilight asked before they opened the door, "look at this" Scootaloo said.

Twilight sighed, thinking it was a bug or something as she walked through the door. Though she was very surprised to find no bug, but something else. Something Black and Red, and unconscious laying on the clubhouse floor with pieces of wood lying around it. She looked up and saw that whatever it was crashed through the ceiling.

"do you know what it is?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"not a clue" Twilight said
