//------------------------------// // Sonic Heroes // Story: The Blue Blur // by MetalJrock //------------------------------// Tails launched a few missiles from his mech, aiming them directly at Eggman. The projectiles managed to do a little damage, seen by the small specks of ash on the armor. The fox walked, the Tornado stomping on the ground as he did. "Ha ha! This is a brilliant design! Not even your infernal mech can damage it!" Eggman boasted, pressing a button from his spot. A large orb began to form around the Death Egg Robot's hand, aimed directly at Tails. As the fox was about to counter with a powerul laser blast to hopefully deflect it, Celestia and Luna flew forward and combined their magic to create a shield strong enough to hold the orb back, "Huh?" Tails asked. "Whew, nice save you two." he complimented, seeing the two alicorns stand their ground against the dark magic, "Now how about I jump in with something?" he pulled a lever, activating another missile aimed directly for the robot's hand. Luckily, when the missile hit, it faltered Eggman's movement, ceasing the orb and allowing Celestia and Luna to strike. "Very good, young Tails." Celestia said, panting. "Now we must find a way to break this armor. It seems inpenetrable." Knuckles smirked, "Inpenetrable, huh? Leave that to me!" he boasted, rearing his arm back as he ran forward. Much to the ponies' surprise, his fist began to glow yellow and red. "Whoa nelly. What's with his arm?" Applejack asked, charging forward with the echidna, intending to team up against the robot. "Alright there, hot shot. Ya ain't gonna take 'em on alone, now are ya?" she asked the guardian. Knuckles dug his fist downward upon the Death Egg Robot's foot, causing the giant mech to lose balance momentarily. Applejack drove her hindlegs upon the metal being, causing it to lose balance even more. However, Eggman swiped his giant arm so that the echidna and earth pony were swept aside, getting knocked into the wall of a building. From the giant hole, the others could hear Knuckles' groans, "We're okay!" he shouted, climbing back to his feet and holsting a shoulder over Applejack, ready to get back into the fight. "That's what Ah get for jumpin' like that, huh?" Applejack sighed. "Don't worry too much about it." Knuckles replied, "If it gets the job done, I'm all for it." Back in the battlefield, Pinkie held a cannon out in front of her, "Hey, you big metal meanie!" her shouting got Eggman's attention, the robot's head slowly turning, "I hope you get your just desserts!" she shouted, pulling the string of the cannon back, shooting out some cream pies and cakes straight for the mech's visors, blinding Eggman with whipped cream and icing as a result. "Eh? Cake? What is this madness?!" Eggman shouted. "Is that normal of her?" Tails asked, "...And where did she find that cannon so quickly?" Twilight shook her head, "It's best not to question it." Spike growled and aimed a shot of his new arm cannon directly where Eggman was wiping the cake and pie off his mech in an effort to finish the fight as soon as possible. Twilight stood next to him and aided him by shooting her own beams of magic directly at the mech, "At least she made it somewhat easier..." Spike sighed, his claws holding the holster of the Energy Ball Blaster. Rarity noticed Eggman wiping the last of the cake off his mech and went right back to attacking. He launched a missile that swerved downward, aimed for Spike. However, in the moment before Rarity could deflect it herself, Twilight jumped forward, tanking the weapon, getting launched as a result. Worried for her friend, Rarity ran forward and crouched, saying, "Twilight! Are you okay, darling?" The alicorn coughed, "Yeah... I am. I used a shield spell at the last second. It didn't work entirely." "I can see that." Rarity frowned, overlooking the small burn mark that was seen on her side, "You're quite lucky you weren't hurt too bad from that." she mentioned. Twilight cringed, "Y-You're right..." Fluttershy walked forward to check on her friend, "Um... Are you sure you're okay to fight again, Twilight?" The alicorn slowly nodded, "I'm fine, Fluttershy. I-It just took me by surprise is all." she used her magic to lift the Element of Magic back over her head. Tails growled, "That was a low blow, Eggman!" "I'm sorry, I'm supposed to be evil! All of you are in my way, and I have to prove my superiority!" Eggman mocked. "That's one way to explain it..." Applejack muttered. The fox shot some more lasers at Eggman, the Death Egg Robot created a dark barrier, absorbing the blasts. "What is this dark magic?" Luna wondered. "How could such a metal being be able to withstand so much opposition?" "Chaos and Harmony, Luna." Eggman bragged, "My genius intellect combined these two forces into the perfect weapon! All of you shall tremble before my might! Your all weak without that annoying blue rodent here! He ran away like the coward he is!" "Oh yeah? Well, I bet you couldn't hack a supercomputer with just a toothpick!" Tails bragged, launching more missiles, "Or built a mech of this design at my age! Even with all your weapons and plans, we've beaten you before, and Knuckles and I managed to do the same without any help from Sonic! This time, we have new friends and they want you stopped as well!" Eggman growled, "As if they can do anything against my new Death Egg Robot! It was designed to withstand this world's magic! None of you pathetic ponies have what it takes to defeat me! The Magic of Friendship is meaningless here!" Fluttershy gritted her teeth and shouted, flying into the air to look Eggman in the eyes, "Now hold it right there, Mister! I don't care if you're evil! But you cannot talk to my friends like that! We are not 'pathetic ponies' and Harmony has helped us more often than not! Now you better stop or I'll have to use the Stare on you!" her sudden assertiveness caught Tails and Knuckles off guard, not seeing the usually shy pegasus stand up for her and her friends like that in the short time they've known each other. But they were impressed. Eggman fake gasped, "Oh no, I'm gonna get looked at menacingly! Whatever shall I do?" the pegasus gulped, seeing dark magic overtake Eggman's metal hand. In a sudden haste, Knuckles climbed, jumped and glided to catch Fluttershy before the attack could hurt her, taking the blunt of the electric shocks. "AGH!" screamed Knuckles, focusing his efforts in making a safe flight back to the ground. He panted, managing to land on his feet safely and he rubbed his back, "You alright?" a slow nod was his response, "Not a bad threat if I say so myself. But Eggman's crafty. Threat's aren't gonna cut it with him." "S-Sorry I got you hurt, Knuckles." Fluttershy apologized. Knuckles grunted, "Hey, don't worry about it. I've taken worse from Eggman. That wasn't the first time he electrocuted me either. You just wanted to stick up for your friends..." he said, turning his head to focus back on the battle. Celestia shot some beams of magic directly at Eggman, strong enough to force the mech backwards slightly. The doctor growled from his spot, unprepared for Luna to strike with her own magic, a volt of electricity struck the mech's foot. "Impudent princesses..." he hissed, aiming a stretched metal arm after the two. Luna wasn't able to create a shield in time and as a result, was pushed down by his giant fist, the drills missing her figure. Celestia gasped, flying over to help her younger sister, creating her own barrier to deflect said drills, forcing Eggman to take a step back as a result. "You will not hurt my sister." Celestia hissed. "And I will ensure you will never harm my subjects ever again." Eggman yawned, "Oh please, I can rule this inferior world if I so desired, princesses. Your greatest weapon has finally been used against you. Nothing can counter it." Tails hummed, blasting the shoulder pads of the Death Egg Robot, "Nothing can counter it..." he repeated, recalling that Sonic and Rainbow Dash suddenly vanished, a smile seen on his face, "I know something that can counter it, Eggman!" "You do?" Applejack asked. "Oh, and what is that fox?" Eggman wondered. The fox nodded, "You mentioned you used the power of Chaos and Harmony, but knowing you, you've only harnessed the power of Negative Chaos Energy! There is something that can counter such a weak balance of magic! Positive Chaos Energy!" Twilight blinked, "Positive and Negative... Chaos is a lot more complex than I took it for. What do you mean? What does it have to do with Sonic and Rainbow Dash?" Tails merely pointed to the sky, gesturing for the ponies to look up. Eggman did so as well, his eyes widening under his glasses and his mustache drooping. "Oh no..." in the sky, he saw a yellow aura trail fly into the scene, coming towards him. "Alright, Eggman! It's about time you got scrambled! Super Sonic style!" Moments Ago... "Wow. This thing is huge!" Rainbow shouted, finally landing on the deck of the Egg Carrier, letting go of Sonic. "Do you remember where you wanted to go?" Sonic nodded, "Yeah. Just follow my lead and we'll be there in no time at all!" he declared. The hedgehog and pegasus moved ahead as fast as they could, Sonic noticing how empty the ship was, "Huh. I guess Egghead wasted all his budget on the army he brought to the ground. That makes our job easier." "Thank Celestia for that." Rainbow murmured. Eventually, the two speedsters found themselves in a large lab where seven gems were entrapped in capsules, "Bingo!" Sonic shouted, looking at the gems. "What the heck are these? Gems for Rarity?" "Nope. These are the Chaos Emeralds, Rainbow." Sonic said, "Luckily, they still have their color, just like I hoped. That means we have a chance at trashing Eggman's mech in a matter of seconds." Rainbow blinked, "And how are we supposed to do that? They're glowing rocks!" Sonic shook his head, "Like the Elements of Harmony, their power can be used to do anything. Luckily, I'm able to do something Eggman wishes he could dream of doing." he used a Spin-Dash to break the capsules and grabbed each of the seven Chaos Emeralds, putting them in a circle surrounding himself and Rainbow Dash. "There we go. Now, Eggman used Negative Chaos Energy, we can destroy it with Positive Chaos Energy and neutralize it to only leave some Harmony magic. This will be a cakewalk!" "...And what are we supposed to do now? Look at them?" The hedgehog said, "No, their power can be used by anyone. Tell me, do you feel something weird going on?" he asked, watching the Chaos Emeralds hovering. "...Yeah... I am..." Sonic smirked, "Good. That's me sharing their energy with you. It may not be much, but it should be enough to destroy Eggman's robot. Now let's do it!" he crossed his arms in front of his chest, feeling a surge of power overtake him. His spikes began to point upward and his blue body began to turn yellow, the Chaos Emeralds merging with his body as a result, finally achieving his true form. Rainbow Dash gasped, noticing that she was flying without aid of her flapping wings and a yellow shield enveloped her body. "Aw... I don't get a cool form?" "It's the best I could do for now since we're in a hurry. Now how about we trash Baldy McNosehair?" Sonic asked. "Heck yeah!" Super Sonic grinned, "Here we... GO!" The two then bursted out of the Egg Carrier, their Super Forms enhancing their speed greatly as they readied to lower themselves to finish the battle once again. "Alright, Eggman! It's about time you got scrambled! Super Sonic style!" "And Super Rainbow Dash style!" the pegasus added. "Rainbow Dash and Sonic...? What happened?" Celestia wondered. Knuckles said, "The Chaos Emeralds. Sonic used them to turn into his Super form as we call it. Tails and I have it too, but in that form, he's basically invincible, and it looks like Rainbow has the shield he gave us that one time." "I didn't think Chaos could be used like this... Maybe I made the right choice in reforming Discord." Celestia mused. Eggman shouted and launched another missile, "I'm not going down this time, you rodents!" Super Sonic laughed, kicking a missile back with ease, simply flying through the smoke he created, "As if! I've beaten you time and again! Score another win for Sonic the Hedgehog!" he mocked, flying through one of the arms, destroying it. "Ha! Let's see you dish out what you can't take!" "Save some for me!" Super Rainbow Dash said, swerving, leaving a bright rainbow trail behind her as she kicked the torso of the mech back, causing the Death Egg Robot to move backwards. "Aw yeah! I could get used to this!" she saw an orb of dark magic come towards her, but her form allowed her to absorb the damage, allowing her continue her flight path seamlessly. Eggman grunted, shooting lasers, missiles, and magic at the two Super beings with no luck from his end, "Just! Stay! Down!" Twilight's jaw was agape, "Amazing. I didn't think Rainbow Dash could fly faster and more powerful like that." Tails pumped a fist, "Yeah, Sonic!" Turning his body around, Super Sonic looked at Eggman from his giant robot eyes, piloting the mech, "Yo, Dash! How about I get Egghead while you trash this giant oil can!?" "With pleasure, Sonic!" Super Rainbow agreed. Deciding the battle was over now, Super Sonic flew directly into the head of the robot and grabbed Eggman at the same time Rainbow Dash destroyed the robot, "No!" screamed the scientist. "I was supposed to win this time!" Super Sonic said, "In what world will that happen?" The Death Egg Robot exploded once Super Rainbow Dash emerged from the other end of the whole she made. Celestia and Luna decided to encase the explosion in a bubble to preserve Canterlot from anymore unnecessary damage. Once the smoke subsided and all that was left were scraps, the princesses sighed in relief, watching as Super Sonic and Super Rainbow Dash landed gracefully, the former holdong Eggman by the back. "Wow! That was super duper awesome! You were all vwoom and boom! And then you totally saved that day!" Pinkie cheered, holding her hooves to her cheeks. "It was awesome, right?" Super Rainbow boasted. Eggman huffed and folded his arms, "We cannot thank you three enough for aiding us against this terrorist." Celestia said, wrapping a limb around Luna to keep her steady, "It seems his reign of terror on Equestria is finally over." Super Sonic grinned, "Looks to be that way, princesses." "We should totally have a party to celebrate us saving the day again!" Pinkie suggested. The superpowered Sonic frowned, "...Sorry, Pinkie. But the three of us have to head back to our world as soon as possible." the pink mare also frowned, disappointed. "You're leaving already?" Twilight asked. Tails slowly nodded, transforming his mech back to the Tornado. "We have to. Now that we have Eggman apprehended, we should return to Mobius before anything else happens while we're gone. We're sorry about this." "Plus, I have to return to the Master Emerald and hope a certain bat thief didn't get her hands on it." Knuckles added. "That Ah could understand." Applejack said. "Just... Take care of yerselves back home." "Likewise to you girls." Super Sonic nodded. "You got something cool here. Friendship and Harmony? I like it." Spike looked at the fox, "Hey, Tails..." he pointed to the Energy Ball Blaster, "Do you want this back?" "You can keep it, Spike." Tails replied, "As a little memento. Plus, I can always make another if the time calls for it." "Awesome!" he climbed on top of the wing and fistbumped the fox, who returned the gesture. Super Sonic added, "Speaking of mementos..." he tossed a golden ring to Twilight, "It was awesome saving the world with you guys. I can say I made some new friends today, that's for sure." "We're friends already?" Fluttershy asked. "Yep! You guys were awesome out there and like how you keep thanking me, I owe all of you one as well! You girls have some good chemistry, kinda like my friends. Just keep doing what you're doing. And who knows? Maybe we'll find a way to meet again!" Super Sonic declared, "I'll never doubt that." Super Rainbow smiled softly, "Just stay being cool, Sonic." "Same to you, Dash." Super Sonic replied. Tails looked at the ring Twilight held, "Hey... Maybe we'll find a way to meet again and compare our worlds and technology. One of us will have to find a way to meet again." "I'd... Like to." Twilight said, "We'll make sure we'll never forget you." Knuckles shook Applejack and Pinkie's hooves, "Gotta admit, none of you were half bad. It'd be great to team up with you all again sometime." he admitted. "Just remember yer responsibilies, Knux." Applejack said. "Remember to care for your family always. Trust me, I wish I had that." Luna lowered her head, and gestured to Sonic and Tails, "You may have one yet, Knuckles." said echidna climbed into the backseat of the Tornado and smiled, acknowledging her words. Super Sonic inhaled, holding Eggman's mouth shut, "Well, I guess this is goodbye." Twilight and the girls nodded. And so, Super Sonic and the Tornado took off. The ponies watched as they arrived at the Egg Carrier. And in just a few moments, it vanished in a flash of white, leaving Equestria for good. Rainbow's super form faded once it did, "Aw man..." Celestia inhaled and saw Pinkie wipe tears from her eyes with a tissue, "It seems they've gone home. Now we must clean the mess Eggman made and tell everypony the good news." As the girls slowly walked away, Twilight looked to the sky and said, "Sayonara, Sonic the Hedgehog." she whispered, "In the short time we met, the three of you proved that friendship can succeed in any world. I'll never forget that." "Hey, Twi?"
