The Tornado began to descend to the ground below and landed in a nearby cave where Tails had set up shop. As everyone got off the plane, Pinkie began to bounce everywhere looking at all the cool things that Tails had.
"WOWWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!" Pinkie screamed in excitement.
It wasn't until Twilight had teleported her back to the others that she began to calm down. Rainbow then stepped forward towards Sonic and Tails. "Okay, first of all. Thanks for saving our flanks back there. Second of all, who the hay are you guys?" Rainbow asked, to which she got a smirk from Sonic and Tails.
Sonic pointed to himself with his thumb, "As you already know, I'm Sonic. The fastest thing alive."
"I'm Miles Prower, but my friends just call me Tails." Tails introduced himself.
"Why do they call you that?" Fluttershy asked.
Tails then jumped in the air and began hovering in the air thanks to his twin tails. The ponies and Spike looked on in awe as the young fox not only had two tails, but the fact that he was flying in the air. Pinkie had the biggest grin on her face.
"THAT. IS. SO. COOL!!! I CAN'T WAIT TO THROW YOU BOTH A 'NEW FRIEND' PARTY!!!" Pinkie exclaimed as Tails landed.
"That's extraordinary." Twilight said happily.
Rainbow scoffed at Sonic's earlier comment, "'Fastest thing alive'? I believe that title belongs to moi."
Sonic raised an eyebrow, "Really? How fast can you go?"
"Up to Mach 5, faster than most pegasi." Rainbow said arrogantly, "What about you?"
"Heh, I can run so fast that I can travel at lightspeed without even breaking a sweat." Sonic said confidently.
"You've even exceeded it on your daily runs without even trying." Tails said, backing up Sonic's claims.
Rainbow's jaw practically dropped to the floor. She shook her head and crossed her forelegs over her chest, "Okay, after we beat that Eggman guy, you and I have to race."
"Gladly." Sonic replied.
(End song)
"Excuse me, but can we possibly get back to the matter at hand?" Tails said with his arms crossed
"I agree. For starters, I believe some explanations are in order." Twilight said.
Sonic and Tails looked at each other before Tails decided to speak up, "As you can probably tell, we're not from around here."
"That's obvious." Rainbow muttered before being elbowed in the side by Applejack.
Tails cleared his throat and continued, "Anyway, we actually come from another dimension, and live on a world called Mobius."
"Wait, wait, wait!!! You're meaning to tell me that Multiverse Theory is real?! That's amazing!!! I've read about it in my studies but I never actually believed that it could actually exist!!!" Twilight said excitedly. "I have so many questions to ask you after this, but please continue."
"Well, on our world, we live in peace. Well, we do when Eggman isn't around to try and take over the world." Tails continued.
"Yeah, we kick his butt nearly every week. I mean, the amount of times we have travelled between dimensions or travelled through time, it's like a hobby or something." Sonic inputted.
"So, you deal with this guy all the time?" Spike asked.
"Yep. But let me just say that EggHead isn't a push over. Once he sets his mind to something, you can be sure that he will do whatever it takes to get it. He once blew up half of our moon just to prove a point." Sonic replied.
"AND WHAT POINT WAS THAT?!" Twilight asked frantically.
"I don't know, that he can blow up the moon?" Sonic answered.
"Can I continue, Sonic?" Tails asked, slightly annoyed.
"Sure thing." Sonic said with a smirk on his face.
"Anyways, after our most recent battle with Eggman, I discovered a space time anomaly in the outer reaches of space. It turned out to be a rift into your universe. Eggman used the power of the Chaos Emeralds, 7 mystical gems with infinite power within them, to journey through the rift and come here to your universe. What I'm stumped on was what created the rift in the first place. I know it had something to do with time travel, I believe that someone in this universe messed with time on a grand scale that it caused reality to break." Tails surmised
Twilight's eyes widened as she realised what caused all of this in the first place.
"Eh heh he, I might have an idea what caused the rift to appear." Twilight said nervously.
"Oh?"
"Yeah, a few years back, a friend of mine, who was evil at the time, travelled through time, multiple times to try and prevent me and my friends from ever meeting. Thus, creating multiple timelines, each one was worse after the last. I eventually stopped her and she reformed, but I never took into account the damage that could have on reality." Twilight explained.
"Well, now we got a cause, now we just need to figure out our next move to stop Eggman." Sonic said. He then turned to the Mane 6 and Spike, "You guys in for an adventure to save your dimension?"
The Mane 6 and Spike looked at each other for a moment before Twilight walked up to Sonic and offered her hoof, "We'll be happy to. Friends?"
Sonic smiled and took her hoof in his hand and shook it, "Friends."
"So, what do we do now?" Applejack asked.
"Well, now we come up with a plan." Sonic replied.
"Why don't we head back to Ponyville and form a plan there?" Twilight suggested.
"What a marvelous idea, anything is better than this garish place." Rarity inputted.
"Alright, then it's settled. Tails, get the Tornado ready. We're heading for Ponytown!" Sonic exclaimed.
"'Ponyville'." Twilight corrected, to which Sonic just let his arms fall to his sides and walked away slowly, not really caring.
(Play from 0:00 to 0:34)
Meanwhile in the Death Egg Mark II, Eggman was typing commands into his computer console. Orbot and Cubot were lifting a cable from one side of the room to the other. Once Eggman's computer beeped, he smiled evilly. He turned to his two idiot lackeys, "WILL YOU TWO IDIOTS HURRY IT UP AND GET THE POWER SOURCE CONNECTED TO THE EMERALDS!!!" Eggman ordered, causing the two robots to pick up the pace.
The two robots saluted and connected the cable to the compartment where the Emeralds were located.
"Emeralds connected, boss." Orbot said.
"He he, excellent." Eggman walked over to a big blinking red button and raised his arm into the air. "Firing Roboticizer, NOW!!!" He slammed his fist down onto the button. The bottom of the Death Egg Mark II opened up and revealed a giant laser gun. The laser gun fired a beam directly into the heart of Canterlot and a massive explosion engulfed the entire city. Once the light cleared, most of the city was Roboticized along with its civilians, while the rest of the city was in ruins.
As Eggman laughed, Orbot and Cubot looked in awe, "Wow, and I thought he was crazy before." Cubot said.
Eggman then hopped into his Egg Mobile and began to take off. His two lackeys jumped on just in time before he took off to Canterlot Castle. He landed down in front of the castle doors. He exited his Egg Mobile and walked right in. He made his way to the throne room and saw a mechanical throne waiting for him.
"This is perfect." Eggman declared before taking a seat on his mechanical throne. Metal and Mecha then walked into the throne room and kneeled before their master. Eggman didn't look happy, "Y'know, I should have you both scrapped for failing me in capturing Sonic. But since I'm such a nice guy, I'll give you another chance. I have an assignment for you two. Orbot!!! The map, NOW!!!" Eggman ordered.
"On it, boss." Orbot said as he hit Cubot on the head, bringing up the map.
On said map, four locations were marked on the map. The Badlands, Cloudsdale, The Changeling Hive, and Seaquestria. "I want each of these locations under my control by sunset tonight!!! I have plans to build factories and a new Chemical Plant to aid in my conquest of this dimension. I want you two to make sure that everything goes according to plan, understood?" Eggman asked, the two robotic hedgehogs nodded and flew out of the room. The map shut off and Eggman began to monologue, "Heh heh. Everything is going to plan. Once I have the Elements of Harmony, I will harness their power and I will become the ruler of the Multiverse!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
"Um, boss. About that. We did some further digging, and we have learned that the Elements of Harmony have been, um, destroyed." Orbot revealed. Eggman stopped laughing as soon as he heard that sentence. He looked at the robot with a stunned face.
"You mean to tell me, that the very sources of power that my entire plan hinges on, are destroyed?" Eggman asked very slowly. Orbot nodded. Eggman stood there for a moment before drop kicking Cubot across the room and flipping a nearby table over. He then began to stomp his feet on the ground, "ARE. YOU. KIDDING. ME!!!!!" He then fell, on his back and panted.
Orbot then floated up to his master's side, "But fear not, boss. I do have good news."
Eggman sat up and listened closely, "And what would that be?"
"Even though the Elements are no more, it seems as though that their magic is still very potent in six ponies only known as 'The Element Bearers'. It seems that these Bearers are essentially the Elements themselves. Therefore-"
"I can still use them." Eggman cut Orbot off. He then smiled evilly as he got back onto his feet and laughed evilly. "So, all I need to do is find these Element Bearers, drain their 'magic' and my plans can proceed! All I need to do is find out who they are."
"That might not be a problem boss." Orbot mentioned.
"Why's that?"
Orbot then displayed a picture of The Element Bearers and it was revealed to Eggman that the ones he was looking for were those ponies that were with Sonic. Eggman smiled in victory and walked back to his throne and sat atop it.
"This worked out perfectly. All I have to do is wait for them to come to me. And they will eventually. Sonic has just made my job a whole lot easier. But in the meantime, Orbot, Cubot!!! Go to the gardens, I read about how sealed prisoners are held captive as statues in the gardens. Bring me the ones called, Chrysalis, Cozy Glow, and Tirek."
