//------------------------------// // Chapter 8: Everything for Nothing // Story: Sonic & Friends in Equestria Girls // by Taionia05 //------------------------------// As the group walked down the hallway, most of the students wore the pony ears and tails discussing how they're going to vote for Twilight as princess. "I can't believe it actually work!" Vector stated "Well isn't this just fabulous." Rarity said "it was a great plan Rarity." Twilight complemented "Yeah and we're definitely gonna win for sure!" Sonic boasted as Shadow spotted Sunset, Snips, and Snails walking towards them with sinister grins. "Not yet, it looks like Sunset's approaching us." Shadow said as they looked at Sunset and her lackeys, who walked pasted them while Snips pushed Sunset faster to avoid Knuckles and Amy as Snails followed them. "What was that all about?" Pinkie asked Knuckles and Amy who told her that they wouldn't double cross them. As Snips pushed to Vice Principal Luna door, Sunset looked back at Snips with a mean glare demanding, "What the heck was that for Snips?!" This made Snips worried that Sunset didn't like being pushed around. "W-Well you s-see, th-that r-red g-guy a-and th-that p-pink girl was th-there..." Snips cowardly said as Sunset facepalmed her face because Snips was scared of Knuckles and Amy. "For now, i don't care." Sunset said as she knocked on Vice Principal Luna, who opened her door to see what Sunset wanted. "Vice Principal Luna! Something terrible happened, I'll show you what just happened as her and Luna rushed to the while the group noticed. "I don't know what she's planning, but whatever it is, Vector, Charmy, Mighty, Ray and I are going to follow her without being noticed." Espio said as the Chaotix followed Luna and Sunset. At the gym, the streamers were on the floor, chairs and tables flipped over, balloons popped, and even the disco ball was cracked as Vice Principal Luna was in complete and utter shock until Sunset spoke up. "Isn't this just awful, and after Pinkie Pie worked so hard to make this perfect and now it's ruined." Sunset faked with sadness in her voice which made Vice Principal Luna skeptical. "Why would Twilight Sparkle, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy do such a thing?" Vice Principal Luna knew that Twilight and the others couldn't do something like this and asked Sunset, "And why do you think Twilight Sparkle and the others are responsible for something like this?" "Because I have proof." Sunset answered as she pulled out a folder of evidence as the Chaotix watched from being. "Sunset, I knew she was up to something!" Mighty growled "Well we can't just stand here. We're the Chaotix and as a detective team, we have to prove that Twilight is innocent." Ray said as the Charmy was getting excited as the rest of the team nodded as they saw found clues until they reached to the library saw a cut out photo of someone kicking the ball in the soccer field. "Looks like we figured out this case in no time flat!" Charmy said as the Chaotix rushed to Vice Principal Luna office. In the office, Twilight, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy sat inside confused as to why they were called to her office in the first place. "I don't understand, I didn't destroyed the gym decoration?" Twilight asked as Luna handed her the folder of evidence that it was her. "Well this is clearly you in the photographs, is it not." Vice Principal Luna asked. "Yes this is her, but not like this." Tails answered. "And we would never do such a thing." Amy added. "I'm sorry, but I can't allow you for doing something like a it looks like you aren't competing in becoming Princess of the Formal Fall." Vice Principal Luna stated as Twilight looked down on herself when a knock was heard from the door and it was they Chaotix as Charmy was the first one to blast through the door. "Charmy would you stop being so childish so much!" Vector told Charmy as Vice Principal Luna, Twilight, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy looked at them with confused looks on their faces. "Anyway Vice Principal Luna, we found some photos in the trash can in the library and we want you to take a look for yourself. Vice Principal Luna took a look at the two picture and put them together as they looked the same when Espio answered, "Someone obviously combined the two photos to make it seem it was Twilight who ruined the gym." he said as she looked back at him. "Thank you for bringing this to my attention Chaotix. In light of this new evidence, you may continue to bid for Princess of the Fall Formal crown." Vice Principal Luna said as Twilight gave the Chaotix a group hug thanking them. "Thank Vice Principal Luna, you have no idea how important it means to her." Sonic thank to Luna how gave him a small smile. "Well what you say, we're pretty good detectives around!" Vector boasted as Espio and Mighty rolled their eyes. "I hate to interrupt on your little conversation, but because of the damages that were done to the gym, the Fall Formal will have to postpone tomorrow night. Now if you excuse me, I'll have to tell me sister about this latest development." Vice Principal Luna left and Flash walked in the office. "So, uh, I was wondering. If you aren't already going with somebody, wanna go to the Fall Formal with me tomorrow night?" Flash asked Twilight who looked at him eyes as her cheeks turned red while the Sonic, the Chaotix, and the other watched from behind waiting for an answer. "This is going to be so romantic." Amy said as her eyes looked to Sonic as he groaned. "That would be... Tomorrow night!? No, no-no-no-no-no, no no no no no! Nonononono! I can't! The portal! That'll be too late!" Twilight ran of with her backpack leaving the other behind as Knuckles, Amy, and the Chaotix followed her. "Wait Twilight!" Knuckles called as they followed her. "One 'no' would have been fine!" Flash told Twilight as she ran off. "Sorry about that, Twilight just have to think about it Flash." Sonic told him "Twilight does want to go out with you, but like Sonic said, she need to think about it." Tails added as Sonic grabbed him and blasted out in a blue streak. As Twilight rushed to the fashion store, she ran into the dressing room while the other looked at her confused and then Sonic and the other ran inside. "How everything going Twilight?" Rouge asked "Yeah, everything okay!" Twilight quickly answered as Sonic and Knuckles shook their heads as Twilight was talking to herself saying, "Only it's not okay. It's not okay at all! If I don't get my crown tonight, I won't be able to go back to Equestria for another thirty moons! Oh, what are we gonna do?" Twilight questioned herself until Spike finally spoke "We tell them the truth. Let them know what's really at stake if you don't get the crown tonight. They'll help us figure somethin' out." "But what if they won't? What if when they find out how different I really am...? Twilight said as her reflection showed her pony self. "Twilight, they railed around us because 'cause they saw what was in your heart. They aren't gonna feel any differently about you when they find out you're a pony princess in Equestria and also remember what Amy told you." Spike said as Twilight tried to remember what Amy told her as she remember what happened last night in the library. "And don't worry about Sunset, for now lets show everyone who we really are." Amy said in the flashback as Twilight went back to reality and gave a smile to Spike. "I'm so glad that you guys followed me here, especially you Spike. Twilight told him. "Me too." Spike added "Unless, of course, we get stuck here for another thirty moons." Twilight open the curtains as her friends looked at her. "You okay?" Applejack asked "The Fall Formal isn't happening tonight." Twilight simply answered "WHAT!" Pinkie gasped "It has to be postpone because of Sunset had Snips and Snails ruin all of Pinkie's decoration, and now I want to give them a really good knuckle sandwich. Knuckles said cracking his namesake. "WHAT?!? Pinkie gasped again "But the Fall Formal must happen tonight or else..." Tails added before he was interrupted by Pinkie again. "WHA-!" Pinkie almost gasped before Rouge and Applejack covered her mouth with annoyed looks on their faces. Twilight sighed as she told the truth to everyone "You see..." she almost said before Pinkie Pie interrupted. "You're from an alternate world and you're a pony princess there and the crown actually has a magical element embedded in it that helps power up other magical elements, and without it, they don't work anymore, and you need them to help protect your magical world, and if you don't get the crown tonight, you'll be stuck in this world and you won't be able to get back for, like, a really, really long time! And the same goes with you guys as well and I already asked you guys as well." Pinkie squee as Twilight, Spike, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy were dumbfounded as their mouths were hanging because Pinkie just summarized the whole thing why they're here in the first place. "Yeah, I'm pretty sure that isn't the reason." Rainbow turned to Pinkie. "Nope, she's pretty much spot-on." Spike answered. "He can talk?!" Rarity shrieked which made the Mobians confused by that statement. "There are talking animals that walk on two legs and this surprises you? And plus, where I'm from, I'm not even a dog, I'm a ferocious, fire-breathing dragon!" Spike confidently said which made Sonic and the other roll their eyes. Fluttershy pushed Rarity, Shadow, Pinkie, and Cream out of the way "This is so amazing! Tell me, what are you thinking right now?" Fluttershy gushed as she looked at him with a huge smile making Spike uncomfortable until he looked at Rarity, who was still shocked that she saw a talking dog talk. "Sure would love a scratch behind the old ears!" Spike asked Rarity who was still speechless "That can wait later Spike." Shadow sternly said to Spike "R-Right Sh-Shadow." Spike said "How?!" Amy asked Pinkie "Just a hunch" Pinkie squee "Wait a minute, you're a pony?" Applejack asked "You're a princess?" Cream and Rarity asked "And you guys are from another world?" Fluttershy and Charmy asked Twilight started to get worried and and confessed. "That...is...AWESOME!" Rainbow Dash said as everyone except Shadow walked up to her asking her many question. "See told ya." Spike said as Twilight gave him a small smile. "Hey guys, we want to show you guys something." Sonic asked as he, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy pulled out the 7 chaos emeralds. "What is that, glorious colored gem you have there? Rouge asked Knuckles "From our world, these gems are the seven Chaos Emeralds, powerful gem created from ancient years, my tribe used the Chaos Emeralds for power until a water god wiped them out to extinction and we have to stop anyone from using the Emerald power for evil and I can control the Emeralds, Sonic can use their power." Knuckles explained to the group until Shadow grabbed one of the Chaos Emerald from Sonic hand. "And how can you control the Chaos Emerald?" Shadow said and suddenly disappeared in a blinding green flash and suddenly reappeared. "What just happened?!" "Wow, I can't believe that the Chaos Emeralds can do that!" Tails said in surprise that Shadow used Chaos Control by accident. "Hmph, well lets get to the gym, Chaos...CONTROL!" Shadow shouted as they group teleported to the gym in just a few seconds. Meanwhile, Sunset, Snips, and Snails walked down the hallway with Metal Sonic until he started to beeping until he said, "Chaos Emerald. Nearby! he said which caught her attention this made her plans much more better. "Well these 'Chaos Emeralds' sounds interesting." Sunset said sinisterly said to herself.
