The Fastest Things Alive

Canterlot's Peril

Rainbow Dash

                Twilight came out of the Library at the sound of Shadow laughing. She looked more perplexed at this than she did when… you know, Rainbow  never saw her perplexed. The only ones more confused at what they were seeing were Sonic and Shadow. I guess it couldn’t be helped since they weren’t use to talking ponies.

                “There’s… more of these things?” Twilight asked no-pony in particular.

                “More? Does that mean Silver’s here!?” Shadow asked. Speak of the Nightmare, a White hedgehog walked out the door at the mention of the name “Silver.”

                “Yeah, I’m here,” he said rolling his shoulder. “I’m still a little sore from that Bad Fall I had, but I’ll be alright.”

                “Okay Rainbow Dash,” Twilight said. “Just what are these things?”

                “I’d say mutant hedgehogs but this seems to be completely natural where they’re from.”

                “Actually, you could call me a mutant,” Shadow said. “I was artificially given the power I have now.”

                It seemed like Twilight was going to ask what he meant by that, but Spike had to interrupt.

                “Twilight! You’ve got a message from Princess Celestia!” he said. “It’s a Distress call!”

Sonic

                According to the Distress Call that this “Celestia” sent, a monster was attacking a city called “Canterlot.” Twilight called the Spirits of Harmony to the library. There was Applejack, Spirit of Honesty, Fluttershy, Spirit of Kindness, Rarity, Spirit of Generosity, Pinkie Pie, Spirit of Laughter and Rainbow Dash, Spirit of Loyalty. Twilight told them about the situation. Sonic turned to ask Silver and Shadow if they should help… but they were already gone.

                “Hey where’d they-“ Sonic looked back to find Rainbow Dash was the only one still in the room.

                “They all went to Canterlot already,” Rainbow said.

                “Why’d you stay behind?”

                “I want to see how fast you are, and I could reach Canterlot in five minutes without teleporting.”

                Sonic got where this was going, and he liked the idea.

                “Alright then, let’s go!”

Rainbow Dash

                Rainbow kept her promise and was at Canterlot Five minutes later. Funny thing, so was Sonic. What she saw off in the distance was horrendous. It looked like a Gorilla grew a turtle’s shell with spikes and an extra set of arms.

                “Sonic!” Shadow came down from the side of the gate. “I’m sensing a large amount of Chaos Power from that thing!”

                “Chaos… Power…? Like Discord?” Rainbow asked.

                “No, it’s worse! I use this power for Chaos Control!” Shadow simplified.

                “Does that mean it has the Chaos Emeralds!?” Sonic exclaimed. Shadow nodded and Sonic dashed into the distance to do Celestia knows what. So she dashed after him to try and help however she could. When she got there, Sonic was just looking at the thing from over a cliff as something started laughing maniacally. Then it came down on something shaped like an egg. It was another weird creature, not like sonic and the others.

                “Well Sonic, seems you’ve found your way to this World too.” It said.

                Sonic looked at this thing with some form of amusement. And said the weirdest thing she ever heard.

                “Eggman!”
