//------------------------------// // Tails explains // Story: Sonic: Equestria Girls // by cornholio4 //------------------------------// “So wait, you are saying that I’m supposed to marry some Princess that I had never met before which was arranged when I was not even born?” Sonic asked with a glare and a raised eye brow almost getting in Tails’ face before Twilight had him step back. “Now how many ways can I say ‘no way on Earth or any other planet!’” Sonic continued on as Tails took a deep breath. “So did Longclaw never tell you?” Tails asked and Sonic raised an eyebrow at the mention of Longclaw as he then shook his head. “Longclaw wanted me to keep running and stay hidden so I don’t think that she would have brought any betrothal up or anything.” Sonic said but then realised something. “Wait a minute........ Did Longclaw set this up?” Sonic demanded as Tails once again shook his head. “No Longclaw was serving as an advisory to your mother Sonic and the betrothal was made before each of you was born since it was foretold in the magical ancient texts that you both would be born. However you’re Mum got sick and it wasn’t likely that you or you would survive so they used a powerful artefact to try and heal her. She died anyway but you were born and gifted with your powerful speed. They all knew that you wouldn’t be safe with the enemies nearby so Longclaw took you to hide until it was safe again. A search party was sent to check up on you but they found Longclaw’s body......” Tails explained looking apologetic as he went on in his explanation. Sonic looked down sighing knowing that he had lost his birth mother and Longclaw as well; Twilight kneeled down and put a comforting arm around his shoulder which he appreciated. “We didn’t know where you were but we found the energy signature coming from this planet some time ago and i was sent to see if I can track you and I have.” Tails explained with a happy smile and Sonic raised an eyebrow. “So they sent a young kid to find me?” Sonic asked with his arms crossed and Tails looked offended at the statement. “I will let you know that I am a top inventor and I was the one who invented this miniature tracking device.” Tails replied with a glare showing his device and Twilight came to have a look. “You built that yourself? Cool, I’m Twilight and I am an inventor myself.” Twilight explained and Tails looked interested to everyone else’s amusement. “Before you both geek out on science stuff; I just want to tell you Tails that if you came to find me to get to marry some princess that I have never even heard of until now then you have another thing coming!” Sonic told him making a gesture to the door but Tails shook his head as everyone else thought this may get heated. “You don’t understand; it’s not just because of the betrothal that the Sol Kingdom is now looking for you. The Echidna Tribe caught wind of you being on the planet and are close to figuring out the secret of the Rings so they could come here.” Tails continued with Sonic and Twilight’s eyes widening at that. “The Echidna Tribe; they were the ones that killed Longclaw. Sonic told me that they are like warrior conquering mob.” Twilight explained for the others with Sonic giving a slight nod. Tempest sighed wondering how her superiors will react to hearing that the Earth may get invaded by a race of alien Echidna warriors. Tirek; the minotaur/centaur hybrid with barely any horns had introduced himself to Robotnik offering him great power if he helped in his escape; Robotnik would usually be all for manipulating schmucks to get what he wants but he had little resources now and couldn’t risk anyone betraying him. He had found the way up and got out of Tartarus. Because you could do that. He was expecting to return to Earth or at least Earth in the past or something; certainly not some village filled with saccharine colourful small ponies with wings, horns or neither. It was like from some sort of stupid girls cartoon. It was revolting to look at so the sooner he leaves this place the better, he ignored the stares and walked forward. Some pink monstrosity got in his face and he shoved her to the side when she began blabbing about wanting to throw some party. Then he had a yellow and pink maned winged pony get in his face shouting “how dare you Mr be rude to Pinkie like that! You don’t get to treat my friends like that, especially when she just wanted to welcome you to Ponyville! You should be ashamed of yourself! I want you to apologise to Pinkie right now and think about your behaviour!” Ponyville? Looks like the ponies here are even less creative and smart than the humans back home and that was an accomplishment. The pony stared up at Robotnik fiercely and Robotnik just looked bored and the pony was puzzled by his lack of reaction. He then took her by the throat and told her “listen here you stupid equine; I care little about being welcomed to your dump of a home or your stupid friends! I am more of a being than either of you and you bother me again; I will have you taken care of and your bodies turned into glue and just to rub salt into the wounds: I will use the glue to glue a wall clock to a wall for no reason since that is how little your lives are worth to me. Do I make myself clear?” Robotnik dropped her and left without a response leaving the pony in tears and others glaring at him. He got to a large castle and sneaked in. He began looking through and found a lab of some sort which caused him a grin. He found machinery that he then began taking apart for parts and grinned when he spotted something. An area with the golden rings that took him here; so he didn’t have to wait long to get home after all! Then he found a green gem and saw it glowing and reacting to the quill Robotnik had in a pocket. This was interesting; were they related? He noticed a written note and read it: Found in the Everfree Forest; Discord says that it’s related to Chaos Magic but he doesn’t know what it is. Must study and make sure it doesn’t fall into the wrong hands. Well it certainly has depending on how one defines ‘wrong hands’. Plus did it say magic? who cares, however he looked into the gem and found something peculiar about it... inside there looked like anthropomorphic elephant mammoth in there.....
