//------------------------------// // Chapter 6: Double Trouble // Story: Twilight’s Big Adventure // by Taionia05 //------------------------------// So the heroes, Double Diamond, Night Glider, Sugar Belle, and Party Favor returned to the village and after a celebration with sweet muffins, pies, balloons, and etc. “It’s too bad your friends isn’t her to eat my delicious muffins, she asked for twenty-five right?” Sugar Belle asked “Believe me Sugar Belle, we’re all worried about Pinkie blasting off into space, but she can find her way back home.” Fluttershy said. “Even though Sonic and his friends went to space, I’m sure Pinkie will be alright.” Rainbow said with a tiny bit of jealousy. Sonic looked around asked, “I don’t want to be rude, but can everyone here have a muffin or pie since we didn’t do all the work.” “Hm? Now you think about it, this is a party and everypony did their part?” Party Favor questioned. “And if we give them the muffins and pies, everypony else will feel left out?” Night Glider added. “It not rude Sonic because everypony can have a muffin and pie!” Sugar Belle said as all the citizens cheered and a few minutes later, Sugar Belle came back with a bunch of muffins and pies. After a while, all the muffins and pies were eaten. “That some good muffins yer’ got there!” Applejack complemented. “So I guessing you’ll be going now.” Double Diamond said “It’s alright darling, we’ll visit every now and then to see your type and fashion...” Rarity said, but got a stern look from Applejack, “...and see if everypony is doing very well.” “That’s alright.” Party Favor said. “Goodbye!” the citizens shouted as the heroes left the village. As they continued their adventure, Twilight was still guilty about the Chaos Emeralds and the Elements of Harmony incident. But something made her think, “If the Emeralds and the Elements can open portals from other worlds, does that include time as well?” “Alright Sally Acorn! How did you make a cool sword?” Rainbow asked and as Sally explained, Rainbow groaned. “Why did I have to ask, two egghead was bad enough, now there’s three!” “If ya gonna ask, then just listen.” Applejack told the cyan pegasus. All of a sudden, a bunch of small animals, including Angel Bunny and the same flicky from before quickly ran up to Fluttershy as they whimpered and had visible bruises on their bodies. “What’s happening over there?” Sally asked “I can talk to animals since it’s my special talent.” Fluttershy told Sally, then turned to the small animals and asked, “What happened to you guys?” Angel Bunny pointed at the direction they ran and it led back to Ponyville. The heroes followed the small animals back to Ponyville and after a while, they saw a orange marsupial wearing short jeans, sneakers, and fingerless gloves spinning with a lizard in his hand. “Hey you!” Rainbow shouted as the bandicoot stopped spinning and looked at the heroes with a goofy look on his face. “What do you think you’re doing to these poor little animals?” Fluttershy asked as it was complete silence and shortly after, the bandicoot kicked the lizard out of the way, make Fluttershy whimper. “Stop!” Sonic yelled as his jumped at the bandicoot, but he did a spin attack, knocking back Sonic back to the others. “Okay, let get this guys all at once!” Rainbow shouted as the others got into fighting position, except Rarity and Fluttershy, but Sonic stopped them from getting involved. “What the hay are you doing Sonic?” “I’ll handle this guy while the rest of you take the animals somewhere safe.” Sonic said as the other took the animals away from the fight. Sonic looked back at the marsupial and said, “Alright you, you’re gonna pay for that!” Sonic starts by running up to the bandicoot and leg sweep him and kicked him away to the ground, but the bandicoot got up and bellyflopped the ground, causing the blue hedgehog to lost his balance and was hit by a slide. “I’ll do admit you’re pretty strong, but I’m not going down so easily!” Sonic said as he ran around the bandicoot, making him dizzy and it gave Sonic an chance to spindash the bandicoot and Sonic rolled in the bandicoot away. “Do you know who I am.” Sonic said as he dusted off his hands. As Sonic wasn’t looking, the bandicoot sneaked up to the blue hedgehog and grabbed his hand and spinned Sonic for a few seconds and threw him on the ground. Sonic got up, but was punched in the face. Sonic saw the bandicoot fist and block it, then backflip him to a box and inside it was a bunch of wumpa fruits as it gave the bandicoot an idea. The bandicoot took out a bazooka and put the fruits inside it and shot it at Sonic at high speeds, blowing him back into a hole and Sonic jumped out of it. The others came back and watched the fight from a distance, but what they didn’t expect was the Diamond Dogs sneaking up behind them and snatching away Amy, Fluttershy, Rarity, Tails, and Spike away into the hole. “Hey Sonic! We have a bigger problem!” Twilight called as the blue hedgehog and bandicoot stopped fighting and looked at the lavender alicorn. Sonic ran up to the other and asked, “What is it? I was just about to beat that guy.” “You can’t hog all the action Sonic!” Rainbow said, then pointed at the hole the Diamond Dogs jumped into. “Rarity, Fluttershy, Spike, Tails, and Amy were taken by the Diamond Dogs and they went underground!” “Then we can’t waste anymore time everypony! We have to save em’!” Applejack said as the heroes jumped and slide on the ground as the bandicoot looked from above and looked around and found a flat rock and rode on top of it, following the heroes. As the heroes chased the Diamond Dogs, they made sharp turns, dodging sharp diamonds, and made tight jump. After a while, the heroes made it to the end and found Rarity, Spike, Fluttershy, Tails, Amy, and a unknown girl tied up on top of the ceiling as the Diamond Dogs were looking at the heroes. “Welcome ponies and strange creatures.” The Diamond Dog leader said. “My name is Rover, and this is Fido and Spot. We’re the Diamond Dogs!” Rover said. “Why are you doing capturing our friends!” Knuckles demanded Spot laughed really hard and answered, “Because that pretty pony tricked us and the others, well the more the merrier.” “I hate doing this, but we’ll fight the three of you for our friends!” Twilight said as everyone gasped in shock. “Are ya’ sure about this Twilight? Those Diamond Dogs look pretty tough lookin’?” Applejack asked Twilight, who was super nervous. “You should listen to your friends because we learned from our mistakes and now, it ain’t gonna be easy!” Fido said as he cracked his fist. “Are you sure cause we’re gonna save our friends from the likes of you!” Sonic shouted back at the Diamond Dogs. “Let’s make this a bit more fair.” Spot smirked as he snapped his fingers when suddenly, a four turtles jumped from the ceiling wearing red, black, yellow, and green ninja outfit and emerged from the shadows. “You loser are gonna get punked by the Super Cool and Rad. Koopa Bros.!” The four ninjas announced themselves at the same time as a shine appeared when they posed. “I’m Red!” The red ninja Koopa said “Yellow!” The yellow ninja Koopa said “Black!” The black ninja Koopa said “And Green!” The green ninja Koopa said It was awkward silence for a few seconds until Rainbow laughed hard, “That is your backup?” Rainbow laughed even harder and so did her friends, even the girl as well. Unfortunately, Rainbow Dash didn’t notice that Green jump kick her to the ground. Applejack and Red clashes their attacks with each other as booming sound were made and Applejack dodged Red’s fist and kicked him so hard, that she knocked him back to Rover. While Sonic and Knuckles helped Rainbow against Fido and Black in the fight, Twilight was against Spot, Yellow and Green as the lavender alicorn did well in her own, she was grabbed from behind by Spot and both Yellow and Green threw her at the top of the ceiling, then slammed her to the ground. Rainbow, Sonic, and Knuckles looked at the Twilight, but got smacked by Fido into a wall. Sonic and Knuckles got up and as the hold hands doing a double spindash in a mixture of red and blue, Rainbow kicked them towards Black and Fido as it did massive damage to them and as Rainbow continued, Rover scratch the cyan pegasus on the back and was hit by Sonic and Knuckles since she couldn’t dodge. Rainbow, Sonic, and Knuckles were badly injured, but still on their feet. Sally blocked Rover’s flurry of swipes and used her grappling hook to swing the Diamond Dog lead to Red. Sally and Applejack were side by side as they fought off both Red and Rover and Applejack caught Red in the air and slammed him to the ground as he bounced up, then was kicked away by Sally. Red hid inside his shell and spinned towards Rover, who pulled a purple crystal from the wall and knocked back Red like a baseball at Applejack and Sally, blowing them back with tremendous strength. Twilight was on her hooves and shot magic at the Spot, Yellow, and Green and used her magic to grab Yellow as he was spinning at threw him at Spot and Green, but Twilight was really tired and wasn’t able to use her magic with more magic strength as she was beside her friends. “Let’s end this really snappy!” Spot said as he pulled out a Chaos Emerald to the other shock. They were about to use the Emerald’s power and took out the heroes in just one hit. “You weren’t kidding when you said they were tough, but it wasn’t enough to beat us.” Red said as the Diamond Dogs and Koopa Bros. looked at the unconscious heroes as the others looked in shock to see them lose to a fight they tired to free them. “Now you know what that means?” Rover taunted the other hanging from the ceiling. “You and your little friends with have to dig up gems forever!” However, they were surrounded by a bunch of red TNT boxes and a green TNT boxes saying “Nitro” and before they could react, the boxes exploded, knocking them out, leaving the red Chaos Emerald unharmed and the one who was responsible for it was the orange bandicoot Sonic fought before. “Woohoo! That my brother right there!” the girl cheered as the other looked confused. “How is that your brother after what he did!” Rarity shouted. “That’s just Crash for ya’, he might not look much, but he sure is tough!” the girls said to the others. The bandicoot named Crash shot fruits at the ropes one by one as he caught Rarity, Spike, and his sister while Tails and Fluttershy slowly carried Amy down to the ground. “Oh I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Coco Bandicoot and this is my older brother, Crash Bandicoot.” the girl named Coco said as Crash did his signature dance. Once they reached the ground, Fluttershy yelled in a soft voice, “You should be ashamed of yourself Crash! Hurting small woodland creatures for what reason!” “Whoa now! What are you talking about you adorable pegasus.” Coco said as he baby talked Fluttershy, who was uncomfortable about it. “Well your older brother was hurting the animals and kicked those slimy lizards without a care in Equestria!” Rarity said as both the Bandicoots gave her confused looks. “We’ll explain it once we get out here with our friends.” Tails said as the other picked up their unconscious friends while Coco pulled out a warp pad from her pocket as she put it down on the ground and looked at Crash. “Look Crash, I know the animals from our world are evil, but you shouldn’t be hurting other animals from another world remember?” Coco told Crash, who rubbed the back of his head as he was ashamed of himself. Once the warp pad was ready, the heroes jumped onto it and in just a few seconds in, they were already back to surface and after the pad closed, Coco picked it up and put it back in her pocket. A few minutes later after Fluttershy and Amy was healing their friends, they woke up with bandages and saw Crash, Coco, and their friends in front of them. “Oh you want more do you!” Rainbow yelled at Crash, but he got on his knees and gave them a wumpa fruit as a apology gift, the heroes hesitated for a bit, but they took a bite out of it and ate the whole fruit. “Wow, this is actually pretty good.” Sally said as they got up from laying down. “So who are you two?” “Well my name is Coco Bandicoot and this is my older brother, Crash.” Coco said as Crash waved at them with a big goofy smile on his face. “As the Element of Honesty, how do we know if we can trust ya’?” Applejack asked the two Bandicoots. “My big bro Crash just helped you guys from those baddies down there.” Coco said as she pointed at the hole, then said, “Plus, we found this before we left, is it important?” Coco said as she pulls out the red emerald from her pocket and showed it to Twilight and the others. “It is!” Knuckles said as he grabbed the Chaos Emerald from Coco. “How did you get this anyway?” “Crash used some TNT boxes and they blew up in front of the Diamond Dogs and the weird Ninja Koopa, turtles whatever and it was like!” Spike said as made explosions sounds. Sonic got up and walked to Crash and said, “I appreciate the help back their.” Sonic put his fist out and waited for Crash to do same and then they fist bumped each other. “And since the two of you are really nice for saving us, it would be nice if the two of you can join us on our adventure to find the Chaos Emeralds and the Elements of Harmony?” Twilight asked the Bandicoot siblings and the two agreed to join. “And along the way, we’ll need to find these crystals from a certain somebody.” Coco said as Crash showed them the purple crystal he got from Rover. “Of course!” Tails said as they walked away from the the Diamond Dogs mining area and towards a beach.
