Chapter 10: Rarity and Sonia vs. Sleet and Dingo
(Third Person Point of View)
Sonia and Rarity kept going down a tunnel, searching for their destination. They came across a room where a huge, orange computer in the center of a room, under a spotlight.
"This seems a little suspicious," said Rarity.
"Indeed," said Sonia. "Stick close." They went towards the computer. Sonia then typed on the computer. "That's weird."
"What?" Rarity asked. "What is it?"
"This computer has no files," said Sonia. "I wonder why." Sonia kept typing, but then the computer started shaking.
The shaking came with some laughter, and someone saying, "That tickles!" They looked up, and at the top of the computer, there was a face. The face of an orange dingo.
"Gaaaah!" shouted Sonia and Rarity. They jumped back from the computer. Then the door opened and a wolf and a bunch of robots came in.
"Sleet and Dingo!" said Sonia. "I should have known!"
"The doctor figured that some pesky heroes would come in and try and stop him," said the wolf known as Sleet. He then pulled out a remote, pointed it at Dingo, pushed it, and a light came out of it. "Dingo, get them!"
Then Dingo started changing from a computer to a huge creature that kinda looks like Pennywise in his final form in "IT: Chapter 2," only more like him.
"You got it, Sleet," said Dingo. "I got this."
Then he started chasing Sonia and Rarity. Then Rarity said, "Oh, wait a minute. Alex said that the first computer was a decoy. Since he was that decoy..."
"That means the real computer is still in this room, somewhere," said Sonia. "I got an idea." Then Sonia stopped, making Rarity stop as well.
Dingo stopped and looked at Sonia, and she was giving him the beauty look. Dingo was mesmerized by her beauty, and he was drooling.
"Sonia..." said Dingo as he was drooling.
"DINGO!" shouted Sleet. "What are you doing?!"
Then a light blue aura surrounded the end of the purple cape Sleet was wearing, and Rarity said, "Oh, that is a very tacky outfit. This has got to be dealt with." Then the cape surrounded Sleet, tying him up, and he fell to the ground, with that remote falling off of him. Rarity grabbed it, pointed the remote at Dingo, and pushed the button. Dingo was then turned into a mouse, down to the size of one.
"What?!" asked Dingo in a high pitched voice. "No way!"
Then Sonia put a plastic cup over Dingo, and put a small piece of metal under him, picking him up.
"Good thinking," said Sonia. "Using Sleet's own fashion against him."
"Indeed," said Rarity. "Now, let's get the information we're trying to find."
"But first, we have to find that computer," said Sonia. "Where would computer be hiding?"
"I got it," said Rarity. She then pointed at a specific wall. "That wall over there is colored Mindful Gray while the rest of the walls are painted Dorian."
"Oh," said Sonia. "Good call. That means..." Sonia walked over to one section of the wall, and it disappeared, revealing a computer behind it. "Perfect. Now let's see what's going on." Sonia then started typing on it, looking for some answers.
"What does it say?" Rarity asked.
"It says here that Doctor Eggman is trying to make some artificial force," said Sonia. "Artificial Dark Gaia Force."
"Dark... Gaia?" asked Rarity. "That does not sound good."
"It's not," said Sonia. "Dark Gaia was a creature that is able to pull apart the planet for it's own darkness, and to take over the world. But there's another being that takes Dark Gaia down. Once every one million years, Dark Gaia and Light Gaia emerge. Light Gaia's job is to seal up the world and seal Dark Gaia up under the planet until next time."
"Oh, my," said Rarity. "So, why is the doctor creating artificial dark force?"
"I'm not sure," said Sonia. "But we need to find out." Then the two of them headed down the hall.
"So, what did you know about Michael?" Rarity asked Sonia. "More than what I know of him?"
"Well," said Sonia, "he's grumpy, he's aggressive, and he never gives up on something he believes in. And he always tries to make sure all the kids that will receive an awful future."
"Like he did with Joshua," said Rarity.
"Exactly," said Sonia. "I looked into Joshua's mind, and he was just like Michael when he was young. They lost their homes, their families, and all the people around them."
"But, he's a sweet little boy," said Rarity. "The day he got here, his seventh birthday, he only had the clothes he had on and no back up clothing."
"And you had to make him some more clothes, starting with pajamas?" asked Sonia.
"Yes," said Rarity. "How did you..." Then she shook her head and said, "Right. You're a telepath."
"I didn't need telepathy to guess that," said Sonia. "It's good to start with pajamas first since it's his first night in... It's called Equestria where you're from?... so it'd be best to start with the clothes."
"Just one more question, fashionista to fashionista," said Rarity. "Why do only the female Mobians where clothes most of the time and male Mobians don't wear much?"
"The female Mobians have sensitive parts that have to be covered up," said Sonia. "Like in the chest or the crotch. Male Mobians have tougher bodies then us, so they'll be warmer and they choose whether to wear clothes or not. But when it comes to winter, they'll have to wear snowsuits."
"But Michael didn't need any when we were getting Joshua from King Sombra," said Rarity.
"Michael has gotten through the highest and lowest of temperatures," said Sonia. "He's probably using the heat energy from that star he absorbed last year."
"He absorbed a star?" asked Rarity. "How powerful is Michael?"
"Just be lucky he didn't take off those rings on his gloves," said Sonia.
"I thought it was a weird sense of fashion on his gloves," said Rarity. "Is there something about them?"
"Shadow and Maria wear inhibitor rings to keep their power from burning out," said Sonia. "The rings keep them going after they use their powers. If they're off, they give off their full power all at once, and burnout at the end. Michael's rings do the opposite. Instead of giving him more power, it drains his power and burns it off, and basically, when they come off, he basically goes off like a nuclear bomb. He only takes them off unless it's necessary. Like when he absorbed that star that one time."
"Wow," said Rarity. "I'm kinda afraid of him, now."
"Comparing his full power to the time you faced Lord Tirek, they're basically tied," said Sonia. "Now, let's get to the others." Then they started running down the hall, heading towards the core of the lair.
