Nothing out of the ordinary
It was an early morning in Canterlot. On the sidewalk walking towards school was Twilight along with Spike the dog by her side. Twilight was looking cheerful as she was humming, and had a smile on her face. Spike took note of Twilight’s happiness.
“Gee, why are you so happy, Twilight?” Spike asked. “Did you have another one of your late night messaging with Timber?”.
“No ,Spike.” Twilight said blushing slightly. “It’s just that things seem really good right now. So far, this semester has started out great. I mean for the first time I actually have friends awaiting me at school, Midnight Sparkle is gone, I can control the magic inside , and there is Timber.” Twilight blushed even more at that statement. “Anyway, I’m just saying things are really looking up, and I hope they stay that way.”
Twilight and Spike then arrived in front of the school, standing before the CHS statue or what was left of it(the horse statue still hadn't been replaced after Midnight Sparkle). Twilight and Spike prepared to walk up the steps into the building when suddenly in the sky, Twilight saw an object in the corner of her eye. It was a silver, egg-shaped vehicle, and it appeared to be flying. It also looked like it had a cockpit and someone was piloting it, but she couldn't make out who was inside. The strange vehicle then looked like it was descending towards the field. Twilight had a puzzled look on her face.
“Spike, did you see that?” Twilight asked as she looked down at Spike who was scratching himself behind the ears.
“See what?” He replied.
“I saw this weird, flying egg thing, and it looked like it landed right on the school soccer field.” Twilight explained. “It looked pretty suspicious, and I’m not sure if it’s a good or bad thing. What should I do?”
“I don’t know, Twilight.” Spike replied. “Maybe it’s nothing to be too worked up about.”
Suddenly Twilight heard a large explosion, making her almost lose her balance. She then saw smoke rising from the field . She turned her head down to Spike, and gave him a slight glare.
“Nothing to be worked up about, huh?” Twilight told him. “Anyway, that explosion sounded dangerous. We should investigate before any serious damage occurs.” She took off running and Spike followed her.
Twilight then arrived onto the field along with Spike. The rest of the Rainbooms were already there sitting on the bleachers, looking rather calm. Twilight then ran up to meet them.
“Hey, Twilight.” Sunset casually greeted as she approached them. “Saved you a seat.” She put her hand on the seat next to her.”
“Are you okay? Is there any danger? What’s going on?” Twilight questioned with urgency.
“We're fine, sugarcube.” Applejack said. “Why would’n we be?”
“Did you not notice that explosion? I saw it from the front of the school. It looked pretty serious.” Twilight said, slightly concerned at how nonchalant her friends were being.
“Oh that. Twi, turn around.” Rainbow Dash said as she pointed behind Twilight. Twilight turned around and saw Sonic on the field. Lasers were being shot at him, but he was effortless dodging them. The one trying to shoot him was the person in command of the vehicle she saw. It was a middle-aged man who was bald(a pair of goggles was on his head), and had a large brown mustache coming from his nose(which was large and pink). He had a pair of black glasses on. He was wearing a red coat with four gold buttons, two metal buttons on the bottom sides of the coat in the front, with white gloves on his hands. Twilight looked at him with astonishment.
“Umm, who the heck is that?” Twilight asked bewildered.
“Oh well, that’s Dr. Eggman. An evil mad scientist who kidnaps cute little animals to use them to power his evil robot army in order to build his empire to take over the world, but Sonic is there to stop him, making him Sonic’s arch enemy, and he’s always coming up with crazy schemes to beat Sonic, and complete his goal of world domination.” Pinkie explained very quickly. Twilight looked even more confused. This was the Eggman Sonic mentioned after that whole fiasco at Camp Everfree?
“He’s a terrible man.” Fluttershy said with a hint of anger as she protectively gripped Angel in her arms. “Kidnapping poor woodland critters for evil.”
Eggman in his Egg-Mobile continued to fire red lasers at Sonic, who still evaded them with no problem.
“C’mon Egghead, you’re aim is usually better than this. Granted you don’t actually hit me, but you’re close.” Sonic taunted. Eggman pressed on with his assault as Sonic zipped past the beams.
“Shouldn’t we help Sonic?” Twilight said as she observed the altercation.
“Oh, heavens no, darling. Sonic has beaten him so many times, it’s just a hobby for him. He’ll be fine.” Rarity said as she applying purple nail polish to her nails and was admiring them.
“Then why are you all here if you’re not going to help him?” Twilight asked.
“Since Camp Everfree, this is the most exciting thing that’s happened so far, and we’ve all been pretty bored for awhile.” Rainbow Dash said. She then checked her watch and looked at Sonic. “Sonic, you might want to wrap things up, like right now. Class starts in 5 minutes!”
“5 minutes? That’s still plenty of time to have fun, and make it on time!” Sonic exclaimed as he dodged another laser. “But this is getting boring, so I might as well end things now.”
When Eggman fired another laser, Sonic leaped in the air to dodge it and came down with a powerful axe-kick on the Egg-mobile sending it crashing towards the ground, leaving it stuck there in a mini-crater created by the impact. Eggman struggled to get the Egg Mobile out as Sonic landed on the cockpit in front of Eggman with a smug grin.
“Please no more!” Eggman suddenly pleaded as he put his hands up in surrender. “I finally get it now! I’ll never be able to beat you, Sonic! You’re just to way past cool for me. Please let me go!” Eggman then buried his face in his hands and began to sob. Sonic had an embarrassed look on his face. The Rainbooms looked equally embarrassed as they cringed at the sight.
“This is sad.” Sunset observed.
“Aw come on Eggman, don’t do this now. You’re making me feel bad.” Sonic said as he rubbed his the back of his head with his right hand. Sonic didn’t notice Eggman secretly reaching for a something in his back coat pocket as he grew a smirk on his face. He brought it closer to him as he continued his charade.
“Please, Sonic! I promise I’ll leave immediately! Have mercy! Eggman said with fake sadness and fear.
“Well, I-“ Sonic started to say.
“Surprise, sucker!” Eggman shouted as he pulled out a small red, laser pistol right towards Sonic face, taking him by surprise.
“Look out, Sonic!” Twilight shouted. Just as the Eggman pulled the trigger and fired, Twilight used her telekinesis, surrounding the pistol in a purple aura as it was yanked out of Eggman’s hand. As she did a red energy wave emerged from the pistol as it was thrown and went in the direction of the Rainbooms. Twilight managed to use telekinesis to pull herself out of the way quickly, but the other Rainbooms were a bit slower to react, getting covered in the red energy wave. Rarity tried to conjure her shields as the other Rainbooms closed their eyes and braced for impact.
“NO!” Sonic and Twilight screamed as the other Rainbooms were engulfed in the wave. But nothing happened. They opened their eyes and looked at one another.
“Umm, ow?” Applejack said stumped. All of the Rainbooms seemed fine and showed no signs of negative effects as they turned to each other. Sonic then turned and faced Eggman who looked just as perplexed as he did.
“Wow, you’re really slipping, Egghead. You build a laser and it doesn’t even work. I guess old age is setting in.” Sonic mocked.
“What? No. I double checked it this morning. It should’ve worked fine. I don’t understand.” Eggman said, trying to make sense of what happened
“Listen, it’s been fun, but we really got to go to class. Applejack.” Sonic called. Applejack then rose out of her seat and came up to the Eggman in the Eggmobile and lifted him out of the crater. She then spun the Eggmobile around many times before tossing it into the sky, creating a twinkle as Eggman was flown way which was accompanied by his screaming. Everyone present looked on as Eggman vanished in the sky.
“Are you sure you guys are okay?” Twilight asked her friends. “Do you feel any different?”
“Nope.” Sunset said.
“Feel the same.” Rainbow Dash said.
“Nothin.” said Applejack.
“I feel fine.” Fluttershy said.
“Never felt better.” Rarity responded.
“I feel like……..I could throw a big party to celebrate Sonic’s victory!” Pinkie exclaimed.
“Things seem pretty normal, Twilight. Eggman’s really losing his edge.” Sonic said as he came up next to her.
“Speaking of which, I have to admit that move you used back there was pretty cool.” Rainbow Dash said. “I mean it would’ve been 20% cooler if I had done it, but it was impressive.”
“Thanks, Dash. I call it my Sonic Eagle.” Sonic said as he pointed to himself.
“Eh, the name could be better. Naming stuff after yourself is lame. I deduct 10 cool points.” Rainbow Dash said.
“Coming from the chick in a band called the Rainbooms. I wonder who came up with that name.” Sonic teased. Just then the bell rang.
“We’d better get going.” Twilight said. The Rainbooms and Sonic walked into the school, but for a brief moment, the eyes of the 5 girls hit by the laser began to flash a red undertone.
