//------------------------------// // Vs. The Egg Juggernaut // Story: Sonic The Hedgehog X My Little Pony: Chaos & Harmony // by Battwell //------------------------------// Tails flew the Tornado through the sky leading towards the Badlands, Sonic was standing on the wing, Rainbow was flying next to the Tornado and the rest of the group were inside the Tornado. Tails then picked up a signal, they were getting closer to the Weapons Factory. "We're approaching the Weapons Factory, get ready." Tails said. Sonic smirked as he could see the factory in the distance. This Factory had a unique look to it, it looked like a mechanical Pyramid. "Okay, I would really like to know how EggHead manages to build these giant factories and facilities so fast!!!" Rainbow shouted in annoyance. "I have to agree, it doesn't really make any sense." Twilight inputted. "Well duh, it's like that so the plot can move along." Pinkie blurted out. Everyone looked to her in confusion, Sonic looked to Twilight for clarification, "We stopped questioning it, years ago." Twilight said. Sonic shrugged and looked to Tails, "Alright buddy, so what can we expect from this place?" "A lot of fire power. According to my scans, this is the most fortified facility yet." Tails informed them. "So, expect a lot of bad guys?" Pinkie asked. "Yep." Sonic said while nodding his head. "Gotcha. So, what're we waiting for?" Rainbow asked. "She's right. The longer we take, the more time Robotnik has to enact 'Phase 2', whatever that is." Twilight said. "Well then, let's wreck the place." Applejack inputted. "Couldn't have said it better myself." Sonic said. Suddenly, the eye of the pyramid opened and a swarm of wasp Badniks and flying Egg Pawns came flying out of the pyramid. Tails boosted the plane forward and Rainbow followed, the robots fired a multitude of shots at the Tornado, but Tails swayed left and right to avoid the shots. Rainbow boosted forward and plowed through some of the flying armada, Sonic used a Homing Attack to destroy some of the enemies blocking their path and landed back on the wing of the plane. Tails then fired two rockets at the group of enemies, destroying them instantly. The cannons on the ground aimed towards the Tornado and began firing. Tails had to swerve left and right to avoid the projectiles. Rainbow then dived down and plowed through the cannons, destroying them. "Tails, the eye of the pyramid's closing!" Spike said in an alarmed tone. It was true, the eye of the pyramid was closing, Tails then boosted forward with Rainbow following behind. As they flew, secret panels on the pyramid opened up and revealed several laser guns. They fired at the heroes and said heroes were having difficulty getting through. The eye was almost shut, Tails then gritted his teeth and boosted forward and Rainbow did the same. Swaying through all the lasers and cutting it real close, they just made it in the eye of the pyramid as it shut. "WOO HOO!!! THAT. WAS. AMAZING!!!" Pinkie screamed excitedly. (End song) The Tornado and Rainbow Dash flew through the Weapons Factory and eventually found a platform to land on. Rainbow landed first, obviously, and the Tornado was set down gently. Everyone exited the plane and walked over to Rainbow, who was looking around for any hidden dangers. "This place is scary." Fluttershy said fearfully. "I know, this place gives me the creeps." Applejack replied. "Golly, if that's how you feel then you aren't gonna like this next bit!" Suddenly, a shadow loomed over the heroes, they looked up and immediately moved out of the way. The giant robot landed harshly on the ground in a crouched position. The robot rose up and glared at the heroes. The ponies gaped at the size of the robot while Sonic and Tails simply glared at it. Suddenly, the robots visor opened up to reveal Cozy Glow, who was piloting the robot, "Hey there, Headmare Twilight." "COZY GLOW?!" The ponies and Spike all screamed in shock. "You all like my new toy? Courtesy of Mr. Eggman. The Egg Juggernaut!!!" Cozy stated to the heroes. "Wait, back up a sec. Is that a kid up there?" Sonic asked while pointing towards said filly. "Yeah, that's Cozy Glow." Spike said. Sonic stood there for a moment before bursting out into a hysterical fit of laughter, much to everyone's confusion. "HEY!!! WHAT'S SO FUNNY?!" Cozy asked angrily. "Wait, you're telling me that one of your arch enemies, IS A KID?!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Sonic continued to laugh hysterically, much to everyone's annoyance. "YOU'D BETTER STOP LAUGHING RIGHT NOW OR YOU'LL REGRET IT!!!" "Ahaha. Kid, isn't it past your bedtime?" Sonic said while giggling. "THAT DOES IT!!!!" Cozy screamed as the visor closed. The mech opened its palm and fired a laser at the hedgehog, who simply sped out of the way. The mech got into a battle stance, as did the heroes. Tails then gave Sonic a deadpanned look, "You had to set off the psychopathic filly, didn't you?" "Hey, in my defence, it was really funny." Sonic said. The Egg Juggernaut then flew into the air and then stomped back down onto the ground, creating a massive shockwave. Everyone was sent back by the shockwave but recovered. Sonic and Rainbow began to run and fly around the feet of the mech but Cozy stomped its foot on the platform, sending the two back. Cozy then flew into the air and flew a little distance away from the platform. She then raised the wrists of the mech and opened its palms, the fingertips opened and fired a multitude of heat seeking missiles. "HEAT SEEKING MISSILES!!!" Tails exclaimed. "What does that mean?" Rarity asked. "IT MEANS THEY FOLLOW YOU, RUN!!!" Sonic exclaimed as the missiles approached. Everyone then spread out as the missiles followed each of them. Cozy smiled and dashed forward and got closer to the platform. Sonic saw this and got an idea, "Guys, head for the mechs chest and then move out of the way!!!" Everyone nodded and made their way towards Cozy. "What are you doing?" Cozy asked. Once everyone was close enough, Sonic quickly turned slightly and tackled everyone out of the way as the missiles hit the mechs chest, causing it to tip back slightly and then lean on the platform as it began to recharge. "HEY!!! WHAT DID YOU DO?!" Sonic then began hitting the mech with a multitude of Homing Attacks, Rainbow was hitting the mech from all sides at high speeds, Pinkie was throwing cupcakes at the mech, Rarity was firing some magic from her horn, Fluttershy stayed back a few metres, not wanting to get hurt. Applejack bucked the mech in the chest as hard as she could and Twilight, Tails, and Spike were flying around the mech, firing blasts from an arm cannon, firing blasts from an alicorn horn or breathing green fire at the mech. "Keep going!!!" Sonic shouted as they all attacked the mech. The mech recharged and slammed its fist down onto the platform, sending everybody back. "THAT WASN'T VERY NICE!!!" Cozy shouted. "Oh, please. You're the last pony to be lecturing us on being nice!!!" Twilight shouted. The mech then flew back away from the platform. It then charged back, but it was positioned for a shoulder charge. Cozy shoulder charged the platform, causing everyone to fall down. "Golly, this sure is fun. But I'm ending this!!!" Cozy said as she raised both fists into the air and brought them down on the platform. Sonic saw this coming and jumped in the air as the fists were brought down onto the platform. He then air dashed onto the left fist and ran up its arm. "HEY!!! GET OFF!!!" Sonic jumped onto the shoulder and then curled up into a ball and hit the visor of the mech with a Homing Attack, damaging it even more. As Sonic untucked in mid air, he then curled up again and hit the chest of the mech with another Homing Attack, damaging it even more. Sonic landed on the platform with the rest of his friends. The mech was badly damaged and began to lean on the platform again. "THIS USELESS PIECE OF JUNK!!!" Cozy shouted in annoyance. Twilight then flew up to the head of the mech and encased it in a bubble, she looked back and saw Sonic and Rainbow race to the opposite edge of the platform. The two then smirked at one another as they dashed towards the mech. Sonic curled into a Spin Dash while Rainbow pushed her forelegs forward, the two then plowed right through the mechs chest as Twilight used her magic bubble to pull the head of the mech off. Rainbow caught Sonic as he was falling and placed him back on the platform. The mech exploded and fell to the darkness below. (End song) Twilight placed the head of the mech on the platform and used her magic to open it up. Cozy turned and smiled nervously at the group of heroes who were currently glaring at her. "Uh, you wouldn't hurt a little filly now would you?" Cozy smiled nervously. Twilight then charged her horn and Cozy was encased in a bubble and was lifted out of the mechs head. "It's over, Cozy. You lost." Twilight said. "I would agree, if it weren't for this!!! IHATETHATHEDGEHOG1993!!!" Cozy shouted. Suddenly, the alarm started blaring throughout the factory, signalling for everyone to get outta there. "WHAT DID YOU DO?!" Twilight shouted. "Golly, I merely just activated the detonation code." Cozy smiled evilly. "WE GOTTA GET OUTTA HERE. Y'ALL!!!" Applejack shouted. Everyone made their way to the plane and hopped aboard with Cozy in custody. Tails then took off as fast as he could, as they flew, Sonic turned around and saw multiple explosions behind him. "WE'RE RUNNING OUTTA TIME HERE TAILS!!!" Sonic shouted in alarm. They reached the eye of the pyramid, only to see that it was closed. Tails fired multiple rockets at the eye of the pyramid and it exploded, giving them their needs of escape. As they flew out of the pyramid, the entirety of the factory exploded in a blaze of glory, destroying the last factory in Eggman's arsenal. Rainbow flew next to the Tornado and looked at Twilight, "So, all the factories are destroyed. Question is, what do we do now?" "We make sure Cozy doesn't go anywhere, then we take the fight to Robotnik." Twilight replied with a determined look on her face.
