//------------------------------// // Tale #2 // Story: Winds of Magic // by Antmix762 //------------------------------// Right now in Sonic house everything has been quiet, inside in a closet Twilight Sparkle, as a hedgehog who has alicorn wings on her back and a horn on her head, she had on a lavender hoodie and was wearing with gray pants with shoes. Long story short when she and her friends went to Sonic's world she and they transformed on the way their to Hedgehogs, which was shocking at first since they never had hands or thumbs, or the ability to walk on their two feet. They adapted to how they walked, and he and the rest got them clothes to wear so they wouldn't feel naked (literally.) In there she was looking around the room and was interested in the things he had. "Hmm, these things are interesting, I want to try and analyze some of these things, ohhhhh I'm just tingling with excitement of all this stuff, I just want look at it all!" She yell out in excitement. She continued looking through Sonic's stuff (With his permission) after a while of searching through things she stepped on a board-like object. "Whoa!" She yelped out as the thing was then activated and she was then flying everywhere around the house, knocking over things. "Whoaaaaaaa soooooomebody geeeeet meeeee offffff thissssss thinnng Ahhhhh". She yelled as she held on for dear life and didn't want to get hurts. She then panicked as she then let goes of the board and then she falls down to the floor and the board then shuts off and then it too falls to the floor. She recovers as she looks over to the board as it wasn't moving. She walks to it and kicks it to make sure it wasn't on and it was as she breathed a sigh of relief but then notices the damage she did to the living room. "Oh great, just great!" She kicked the floor in "Well I guess that's what happens when I mess with something I don't know." She then looked at the board again as she looked at it. "Wait...Isn't this like one of those things Scootaloo rides on back in then heard a knock on the door as it then opened to reveal Sonic coming in holding groceries. "Alright Twi I'm hom-"He then notices the living room all trashed and things scattered around as in the middle of it was his Extreme Gear named the Blue Star Mark 2, and Twilight was there looking embarrassed. *Sigh* Twilight what did you do?" He said to her as she answered back. "Well, while I was looking through your stuff I accidentally found this thing and then well this happened." Twilight said as she show the mess, to which Sonic sighed and then run around the room which makes Twilight covers her eyes from the high winds and then opens them and sees the entire place was cleaned up as if her accident didn't happened. She then sees Sonic holding a broom. "Your welcome by the way." He said as he twirled the broom around with a grin but then places the broom on the wall. Twilight lit up from her stupor and then thank her friend. "Oh thank you Sonic." She said as she then saw Sonic taking his board off the ground and then walk to the door. But then stood there as she was looking at her questioningly. "Well what are you waiting for? Come on!" He called her out as Twilight then looking surprised as she was then following the blue hedgehog out the house. They both went out of the house and Sonic then dug the board to the ground as he then looks at Twilight as she was confused as to why Sonic asked her to come here. "So, you said you wanted to know what this thing is?" He said to Twilight as she then said the appropriate response. "Yes? Do you know how this thing works?" She asked him though he laughs at the response. "Heh, know it, I own this thing! Well technically Tails built this thing but eh." He said as he then places it sideways and then it hovers above the ground. "So what is this thing exactly?" She questioned the hedgehog. "Well to starts it's technically called an 'Extreme Gear' and what it does is simple." He then activated it and then it started to float over the ground a little. Twilight in the meanwhile is flabbergasted on what was it doing as she then looked at it from different views. "H-How is this thing doing that? It can float!?" She said exasperated from what she was looking at. "Uh well I can't really explain all of the specifics, but all I know is that it floats by using air as fuel." He said as Twilight gasped from the explanation. "Wait it uses air AS FUEL? How is that possible!" She asks as she kept looking at it. "Yep, and it can do this!" He said as he then hopped onto the board and then starts going around as the board was floating above the ground and he started doing a few tricks with his board as he curves around the sides of a tree, then does a few hand tricks like standing on his hands. Twilight stood in shock at she was witnessing. "C-C-Can I try this?" Twilight said as she was watching in awe, and blushing a little at how Sonic was moving around the board but then focused on the board as she wanted to study on how it works. Sonic came down from his board and smiles from her nerdiness. "Sure, go and knock yourself out." He said as she then walks up to the board and and tried it out. She get up on it and tried riding it though as she floats over the ground. "Whoa this thing work!" She shouted in excitement as she flies though she loses her balance on the board as she starts fidgeting with her feet on the board. "Whoa I can't….hold still!" She said as she she kept on trying to keep balancing though then she falls off the board and then comically falls to the ground on her rear, to which makes Sonic laugh so much. "HAHAHAHA, holly molly that was SO funny, you just wiped out there!." He blattered out as he fell down laughing to which it made Twilight irritated that he's laughing at her expense. "Oh be quiet you, I didn't get a chance to concentrate I'm trying again!" She said wanting to try again as she gets on the board again and then starts floating off again trying to grasp how to work it. She keeps trying to as she stands on it perfectly and tries to move around on the board as perfectly as she could, whilst still falling off again. She tries again and she starts playing on the board perfectly. "Whoaaaa, this is actually really cool!" She said as she was riding over everywhere and Sonic was smiling that she was enjoying herself, though as she kept riding through she then looked like she bumped into another mobian who was riding the same thing as she was. "Hey what's the big deal crashing with me?" The mobian said as he was nearing Twilight as she was spooked from the guy yelling, he was green and had on yellow and white goggles with gray strapping, white gloves with red and black cuffs, and red, black and white boots with gray soles. He stomped his feet in frustration as Sonic came by to see what was happening. "Hey don't take it out on Twilight she wasn't looking where she was…." He then knew who the character who bumped into her. "Hey Jet!" He called out as the green hawk knew that voice and opened his eyes and noticed the blue hedgehog. "Sonic!" He called out as he walked towards him and then grinned at him. "Where've you been all this time?" He said cockily as Sonic sighed. "Oh you know just running around, doing other stuff, made a few friends. Why do you want to find me?" He said wondering to himself. "Well I just wanted to find you because I wanted to let you know that I've gotten better at riding boards and I'm faster than you!" He boasted to himself to which Twilight cringes as she felt something similar from one of her friends. And it made Sonic smirk from Jet's exclamation. "Really?" He said sarcastically to Jet as he then had an annoyed expression on his face. "Yeah, you got a problem with that?" He exclaimed. "Well it's just I'm already the fastest thing." He said cockily as Jet was now grumbling at him about being fast though Twilight was confused on what was happening and attempted to tap his his shoulder in which he turned his head and looked furious. "Whadda want girlie?" He said angrily though then as he looked at Twilight and smiles as he sees the lavender hedgehog. She flinched from this as he looks back at Sonic. "Wait, no I need to get back on track!" He looks back at Sonic. "SONIC! He called out as he walked towards him and then grinned at him. "Where've you been all this time?" He said cockily as Sonic sighed as he looked a bit agitated at him. "Oh you know just running around, doing other stuff, made a few friends. Why do you want to find me?" He said wondering to himself as he gritted teeth a little. "Well I just wanted to find you because I wanted to let you know that I've gotten better at riding boards and I'm faster than you!" He boasted to himself to which Twilight cringes as she felt something similar from one of her friends. And it made Sonic smirk from Jet's exclamation. "Really?" He said to Jet as he then had an annoyed expression on his face. "Yeah, you got a problem with that?" He exclaimed. "Well it's just I'm already the fastest thing." He said cockily as Jet was now grumbling at him about being fast though Twilight was confused on what was happening as she sees him growling. "NO I'M THE FASTEST YOU HEAR ME!" He yelled out as Sonic then smiled. "You want to prove that?" Jet said to him. Sonic raised an eyebrow in question. "You know with a race?" He asked. Sonic was giving it a thought as he then sees Twilight looking at Jet weirdly. "Excuse me for a minute." He says as he then goes towards Twilight. "Hey uh Twilight?" He said to Twilight as she looked questionably. "What is it?" She asked him. "I wanted to ask what was he….doing to you?" He asked wondering to her. "Well, he just placed his hands on my shoulders, and then was speaking about himself, and then I asked him about how his board work but he saw you." She said to Sonic as he then sighed in relief. "Well, at least I distracted him then." He thought as he then rushed back to Jet. "Alright then I accept your challenge!" He proclaimed to Jet as he smirked and got onto his board. "Ok, then Sonic! First one to the Biotanagle gardens" Jet said as he then went forward on his board and rode out as Sonic was now running alongside him with his board in hand as they passed by Twilight as she closed her eyes from the force of the winds that hit her and then sees they took off. Twilight huffed as she realizes that she was left behind. "Well there they go." She said as she knew they were going to race and she wanted to see how the boards work, she took flight and followed them. (Un-Gratify- Sonic Riders Zero Gravity) In the meanwhile Sonic and Jet were at the center of Megalo Station with them both ready to go. "Let me guess Jet? The usual wager?" He asked. Jet smirked. "Oh you know it… Sonic the Hedgehog." He said. "Now as for the track. We go through Megalo Station. One lap through Biotanagle Gardens and straight back here." Sonic nodded showing he was ready. That's when they got in a ready stance and like that they were gone. The two were taking off through the tubes of Megalo Station with Jet was racing up the walls as he was ahead of Sonic. However Sonic wasn't going down that easily as he started using some of the hover cars in the tubes to give him a bit of edge. He caught up with Jet as the two were making there way out of the tubes and into the open. As they landed Jet and Sonic banging their boards as they made their way to the gardens Jet then jumped with his board and shouted "GEAR CHANGE" As he did and landed he picked up speed and went straight in leaving Sonic behind. Sonic gave a stern look as he just dashed right in. As they entered Sonic shouted "GEAR CHANGE" He called out and just like Jet's his board picked up speed. As all of this was happening Twilight was watching from a monitor in the city. As she was watching she was curious more about the boards. "Strange. When they both called out gear change. Their boards picked up speed at a great pace, but how does that work." That's when someone's came up behind her. "The reason is because of the board's responding to their reasons." Twilight turned to see two other mobians. A purple swallow and a grey albatross. "Your friends with Sonic right?" Twilight nodded at the swallow's question. "Heh figured. I'm Wave and this is Storm. We're friends of Jet's." She said. Twilight then turned fully around and noticed they had extreme gears as well. She then approached and looked at the boards while Wave smirked. "Heh so you're interested in our Extreme Gears are you?" She asked. Twilight looked at her and nodded. "I've never seen any tech like it." She said. Wave's smirk grew. "Of course you haven't. It's only equipment you would find here, but if you want a 101 on this I'll give ya a lesson on it." She said. "Follow me." She said, but as she was walking with Storm, Wave turned and noticed Twilight wasn't following but just turned back to the screen showing the race between Jet and Sonic. She then smiled. "Hey! You coming or not?" She asked. Twilight turned to Wave and then back at the screen. Sonic and Jet were riding down a steep ramp and hit a loop as the two went around Sonic came out first as he then hit a ramp and did some stunts while in mid-air before landing. Jet did the same and then the two landed but also called out another Gear Change which below their gears they showed a smooth surface allowing grinding. Back with Wave and Twilight. Wave held her hand on Twilight's shoulder. "Don't worry those two will be fine. Besides where we're going we'll be able to still watch them." She said. Twilight gave it some more thought then smiled. "Ok Wave lead the way." That's when Wave smiled and then she and Storm got on their gears while Twilight took to the air and they were off. Jet and Sonic were reaching a split between the passes. However Sonic noticed a rail that would lead to a platform in the center outwards a bit. He and Jet both went left, but Sonic then smirked as he at the last second jumped and hit the rail and started to grind as he hit the center platform and began riding upwards. Jet saw this and knew where that pathway went, but he wasn't too worried as he knew the path ways would collide into a single one. Sonic had hit a jump but as there was no platform below he grabbed his board and was able to grab a vine to which he swings around, he let's go of it as he then lands on a half pipe which goes in a corkscrew. MEANWHILE "So, how does these things work? Is it true these things can fly?" Twilight asked as she was walking alongside Wave. "Well not so much flying more or less hover, at high speeds." She said as Storm nods. "Yeah, they just hover since they can't just fly, otherwise they'd be selling more than usual, not that they aren't selling of course." Storm interjected to which Wave glared at him for interrupting her as she shoved him off. "Thanks captain obvious for that, I'll handle the extreme gear trivia, if you don't mind!" She said as she then looked back at Twilight who had a sweat drop from her head and Wave got back to where she was doing. "Okay back to what I was saying, there are also several types of extreme gears." She says as Twilight wondered. "Like what others?" She asked her. "Like skates, bikes, air rides, and wheels." She said as Twilight wondered about what how these things could do these type of tricks. Back with Sonic and Jet, they both pass on by they look at each other as they make it around the curb, then they both went up another ramp. As they then land on the metal ground below and they raced through to the finish line as Sonic crosses it with Jet following as he gritted his teeth as he lost to Sonic. "Darn!" He said, as he stopped his board from going any further and he gets off it as Sonic smirked as he get off his board. "Heheheh, I guess I still got it!" He said as he then sees Twilight coming along with Jet's friends. "Hey Twi!" He said as he made his way towards Twilight as she looks over to him. "Hey Sonic! I was hanging out with these guys, and she's been showing me trivia of these boards." She said to Sonic as he looked at Wave. "Thanks Wave for looking after Twilight." He said to her. "Eh you're welcome, had nothing else to do so I was happy to show her the ropes on these things." She said calmly as Twilight looked at Sonic. "So are you done with your race with him?" Twilight said as Sonic smirks as he puts a thumbs up. "Yeah I just beated this guy, now we can make are way out of here." He got on his board as he then looks at Jet. "Thanks for the race Jet." He said to him though he grunted. "You just got lucky this time, I'll win the next time we meet Sonic The Hedgehog!" He yelled out as Sonic flew on with Twilight following him. Sonic then turned and winked. "I'll be looking forward to it." He shouted back.
