MC then looked towards Olive. "Are you sure this is the way that Eggman's way is through here?" MC asked. "It's the fastest way," Olive said. "This Power Plant has a special train that'll take us to where Eggman's on the move towards." "Alright," Shadow said. "We'll get on that train, and head on down to wherever he's going, and take him down there." "Affirmative," Omega said. "Pursuing Doctor Eggman!" The group walked in. Not seeing Team Chaotix and the Young Six coming in behind them. "Alright, now it's time for your real test," came the client's voice from the walkie-talkie. "All of you are about to enter Eggman's Territory. Are you ready?" Espio looked towards Vector and said, "Not too late to change your mind." "Why do you think we're here?" Vector asked. "How else are we gonna make the rent?" "Let's go!" Charmy said. Then Vector and Charmy went in. Espio and the Young 6 stayed outside. "You still think it's suspicious?" Ocellus asked. "Yes," Espio replied. "We're going to have to pay attention to whatever the client is making us do." "Maybe you should add something to your policy," Smolder said. "Have the money before hiring the group." "That's a good call," Espio said. "If a client doesn't have the money beforehand, they're gonna get in big trouble. Now, c'mon. Let's get going." Espio then walked ahead, following Vector and Charmy. The Young Six following. The Mane 6, Sonic, Tails and Knuckles came into the power plant, looking all over the place. "What a sufficient place," Twilight said, amazed of all the things around them. "Yeah," Tails said. "This power plant takes solar rays, and turns it into energy for everyone to use. It even helps out with other pieces of technology." "This place really is amazing!" Pinkie Pie said. "This would be one heck of a party!" "Let's get going," Sonic said. They all started running through the power plant. In another part of the Power Plant, Amy, Cream, Cheese, Big, Spike, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, Nyx and Joshua arrived, looking all around the place. "Whoa!" Scootaloo said. "What a place!" "Yeah," Spike said. "Twilight would be impressed." "Chocola chao chao!" Cheese said. "Cheese says that Chocola is close by!" Cream said. "That means Froggy is near by, too," Big said. "Alright, everyone," Amy said. "Let's get going." They then started going ahead. In another part of the plant, the Chaotix and the Young Six were running towards somewhere. "Here's your assignment," came the client's voice from the walkie-talkie. "This power plant is full of Eggman's robots. All of them are connected to the power grid that leads to one of Eggman's base. Destroy all of them to unlock the grid that lets you control the train that leads there." "There's something we can do," Vector said. "Especially for Yona," Gallus said. "She loves smashing things." "Yona love to smash!" Yona said. "Time to smash!" Then she charged ahead. A bunch of robots came in, but then they were smashed by Yona. Espio was astonished by what Yona did. He then said, "She's got some power in her." "Well, she's not going in this alone," Smolder said. She then started flying and fighting the robots. Meanwhile, in another part of the Power Plant, Shadow, Rouge, Omega, MC, Maria, Olive, Starlight, Sunset and Trixie were at the station where the trains were, and MC was trying to get to the controls. "Dang," MC said. "The security is locked tight in this console. I can't access the train for it to start." "This must be one heavily guarded control console," Rouge said. "Indeed," MC said. Just then, an Egg Pawn walked in, started charging at the heroes. MC held out his fist and fired a golden blast at it, shattering it to pieces. "Whoa," Shadow said. "Nice trick." "That wasn't even a fragment of my real power," MC said. "We have to find a way to get the train started." "The Great and Powerful Trixie shall find a way to get the train started!" Trixie said, heading towards one of the trains. "Is she always like this?" Maria asked. "You have no idea," Sunset and Starlight said in unison. They then looked at each other. "So, Sunset, you looking for colleges in this world?" MC asked. "Well, basically, no one back in the other dimension wants to recruit me, because apparently there's another Sunset Shimmer in that world," Sunset responded. "Makes sense since the world you lived in is in another dimension," Maria said. "Yeah," Sunset said. "So, I've been looking through colleges in this world so I can get a good career. But, it's not so easy being educated from another dimension." "Perhaps Alex Lynol can help you with that," Olive said. "Yeah, Alex can help with you," MC said. "I can give him a call and see if he can get you into a good college. Although, he might have difficulty getting you to a good college here." "Well, I'd appreciate his help with trying," Sunset said. "You and the Freedom Fighters sure done a lot for us." "Even if it meant pulling your country of origin across the stars and putting it in the second largest ocean in the world," Olive said. "And to be fair, Eggman did steal the machine that caused that in the first place and reversed the effect." "Although, it all ended better for both of our kingdoms to end up in harmony," Starlight said. Then Trixie came back. "Guess even the Great and Powerful Trixie couldn't do a thing to get it moving," Trixie said. "Yeah," MC said. "At least you tried. We got to find a way to get the trains moving. It's kinda making me sick to my stomach." "Oh, are you okay?" Sunset asked. "Yeah, I'll be fine," MC said. "It's just that..." He then puffed up his cheeks, and then he made a gagging noise, covering his mouth with his hands, and then he let out a bunch of playing cards. The others were surprised in awe of what MC was doing, except for Shadow and Omega. "Okay, that was awesome," Starlight said. "How'd you do that?" Sunset asked. "A good magician, or illusionist since you three actually use real magic, never reveals their secrets," MC responded. "Not unless you know the right price." "I hear that," Olive said. "Now, let's look for another way to get the train started." They then looked around for something to get the train started. The Chaotix and the Young Six were finishing up with all of Doctor Eggman's robots. Espio then launched a ninja star at the last robot there. "There, that's all of them," Espio said. "That was awesome!" Charmy said. "Alright," said Vector. "Now, let's get moving." They then walked into a room where the trains were. They then went to the controls. Just as Shadow, Rouge, Omega, MC, Maria, Olive, Sunset, Starlight and Trixie walked back into the room. They then noticed the Chaotix and the Young 6. "Man, who are those creeps over there?" Rouge asked. "Wait, I know those young ones," MC said. "Those are the students at the School of Friendship," Starlight said. Espio heard them and stopped the group. "What's up, Espio?" Vector asked. "And you are?" Espio said to the other group before turning towards them fast. "Just whaddya think you're doing here?" Rouge asked. "Who's this broad?" Vector asked. "Our client's adversary, perhaps," Espio responded. "You mean the bad guys?" Charmy asked. "You guys don't fool me," Rouge said to the group angrily. "I know what you're after! Better stay out of my way!" "I'm sitting this out," MC said. Maria, Olive, Starlight, Sunset and Trixie followed. "Meh, we better sit this out, too," Sandbar said. They then headed off towards the others. The twelve of them headed towards the controls for the trains. MC inspected the controls and was surprised. "Whoa," MC said. "The controls are all working now. When did that happen?" "Probably when the Chaotix's client told them that Eggman's robots were all synced to the controls of the train and the only way to access the controls is to smash all of the robots," Ocellus said. "Digital synchronization," Olive said. "So that's how it was done." The group looked down to see the Chaotix battling Shadow, Rouge and Omega. "Alright, let's get this started up," MC said. "I don't know how long it'll take to get it started." "Let me help you with that," Olive said. She then pulled a wire from her digital patch and attached it to the control console. "This is a really complicated machine. Should take me about five minutes." Meanwhile, over with the Mane 6, Sonic, Tails and Knuckles, they ended up on a platform, which they weren't alone on there. The group looked ahead and saw Amy, Cream, Cheese, Big, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, Nyx, Joshua and Spike. "Hey, all of you," Amy said to the group. "Amy, what are you doing here?!" Sonic asked. "And why did you bring the kids?" Twilight asked. "Oh, don't worry about that," Amy said. "They're just helping us with a couple of missing creatures." She then held out the newspaper. Rainbow Dash then dashed ahead and grabbed the newspaper and brought it to her group. "As you can see, someone that looks a lot like Sonic has taken Cheese's twin brother, Chocola, and Big's Froggy." "Well, that's not me," Sonic said. "No way it could be Shadow." "Perhaps we can find some answers on the way to Eggman's base," Tails said. "We have to get to Eggman's base before it's too late." "Well, we're going to have to get on those trains," Twilight said. "It should take us there." They hen headed towards the trains. Shadow, Rouge and Omega continued their fight against the Chaotix. The groups looked down at the others. "You think we should get them to stop?" Smolder asked. "Yeah, you're right," MC said. "Olive, is the train set?" "Just about," Olive said. "We have two minutes." MC then jumped down and landed in between the six fighters, creating a golden aura shockwave. "That's enough, guys," MC said. "We got to get going. Eggman's base is at the end of the line." "You'd think that we're all going to miss on this?" Vector asked. "No way we're gonna let this go. We got a job to do." "You do whatever you want," Shadow said. Then the two groups got on two different trains. Then all of the trains started moving. The Mane 6, Sonic, Tails and Knuckles headed towards a train that was heading away from them. Twilight then used her magic to teleport the group onto the train. The group then looked over towards another train and saw Amy, Cream, Cheese, Big, Spike and the five Crusaders were on another train. "You kids go home!" Twilight called out. "No way!" Scootaloo called out. "You think we're gonna miss out on an epic adventure like this?!" "Oh, boy," Twilight said. "Rainbow Dash, you really need to be a better role model for her." "I know, I know," Rainbow Dash said. "I really need to let Scootaloo try and do something that's not as dangerous." "Ya got that right," Applejack said. "How are we going to get to Eggman without him knowing that we're coming?" Fluttershy asked. "Who says we're gonna be sneaking up on him?" Sonic asked. "Are you serious?" Rarity asked. "Relax," Knuckles said. "We got this." "I hope you're right," Twilight said. "I just hope the others are gonna be okay." "I'm pretty sure they'll be fine," Rarity said. "Although, the foals and Spike are with Amy." "Amy's pretty much the scariest of all of the Freedom Fighters when she gets mad," Tails said. "Even scarier than MC?" Fluttershy asked. "Especially more than MC," Tails said. "I've seen him fight off ghosts in an old, creepy castle, and Amy out-scares him?" Fluttershy asked. "You need to tell us more about that story, Fluttershy," Twilight said. "Well, you'll have to talk to MC and Yona about that," Fluttershy said. "They're the only ones who rescued us and haven't been possessed." "Good to know," Twilight said. In another train, Shadow, Rouge, Omega, MC, Maria, Olive, Sunset, Starlight and Trixie were resting in a room on the train. Maria looked over towards Shadow, a little sad. MC sat next to her. "Feel bad for Shadow?" MC asked. "He doesn't remember anything," Maria said. "It feels like I lost him forever, and yet, he's right there." "It's going to be okay, Maria," MC said. He then sighed. "I'm sure that Shadow will be okay." "He's right, Maria," Rouge said, walking towards the two. "I've known Shadow. If he's tough enough to survive a fall from space, he'll be able to recover from amnesia." Maria looked towards Shadow again, tears slowly coming from the corner of her eyes. "It's going to be okay, Maria," MC said. "You know," came Starlight's voice, "I was the school counselor of the School of Friendship before I became the headmare. Let me help you. You could use some counselling." Maria sighed and walked away with Starlight to one part of the room. Rouge walked up to MC and asked, "You think she'll be okay?" "Maria's basically out of the world she knew," MC said. "She's like Captain America and Shadow's the Winter Soldier." Rouge chuckled and said, "Yeah, that's more accurate. Since both of them have been frozen in time, Shadow did some crimes and lost his memories." "Hopefully, either Maria will get over it... or... Shadow will get his memory back," MC said. "Hopefully before a major threat to the world comes." "Let's hope that nothing like that will come after this mission," Rouge said. MC then looked outside to see what was out there. In another train car, the Crusaders fell asleep on Big's belly. Spike took Joshua's jacket off of the sleeping colt and put it back on him like it was a blanket. He also spread it so it would also cover Nyx. "That was sweet of you," came Amy's voice from behind him. "Yeah, I had to do it," Spike said. "I'm kinda their big brother." He then huffed a little and said, "I still say I'd make a better uncle." "Kinda makes sense since it was Twilight who hatched your egg," Amy said. "So it would make sense that Twilight would be your mother." "Pfft, everypony says that," Spike said. He then sighed. "But, at least this time, the three of us can compete for... this." Spike then held something out. "What is that?" Amy asked. "Sibling Supreme Crown," Spike replied. "I got the crown by out smarting both Twilight and Shining Armor by having help from Princess Luna." "So, how old were the two when they were adopted by Twilight?" Amy asked. "Nyx... we don't have an official answer to that," Spike said. "She was literally born around that biological age when Twilight found her in that bush. And it was Joshua's 7th birthday when he first came to Equestria. That was almost a year and a half after Nyx's birth." "Wow," Amy said. "They must've had a tough beginning for Nyx." "Joshua, too," Spike said. "His birth parents sent him to Equestria because they somehow knew that their world was going to be destroyed. Almost similar to MC's story." "Lost his home, family, everyone he knew on his seventh birthday," Amy said. "I can see why it was MC who was the one who helped Joshua when he was going through his transformation." "And when Twilight found Nyx, she woke up in a bush with no memories," Spike said. "Nyx was supposed to be a reincarnation of Nightmare Moon, the darker side of Princess Luna. She was supposed to be what Nightmare Moon was, but Twilight changed all that ever since she found her in that bush." "She's a child, I get that," Amy said. "Kids should be kids. If they want to grow up... it's by their choice." Then in another train car, the Chaotix and the Young Six were all asleep. And in one last train car, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and the Mane 6 were resting. Twilight and Sonic were the only ones awake in the car. "So, what else can we expect from the doctor?" Twilight asked. "I don't know," Sonic said. "But what I do know it's that he's not gonna stop until he gets what he wants." "I still can't believe that Nyx, Joshua and their friends decided to go onto this adventure as well," Twilight said. "If this is about the Sibling Supreme Crown..." "Rainbow Dash told me everything about that," Sonic said. "Although, I doubt that this is about being Sibling Supreme out of any of them." "Who knows what this is with them," Twilight said. "I just don't want them to get hurt." She then sighed. "I watched Nyx almost die from multiple injuries defending Ponyville from monsters. I don't want something like that to happen to her..." She then sighed sadly. "I don't want to lose her." Sonic then put a hand on Twilight's shoulder and said, "You won't. I can promise you that. Now, get some rest. You'll need your rest." Twilight sighed and said, "You're right. I'm going to need to be at my best." She then walked over towards her friends and got comfortable. Hoping the next day, her kids will be safer.
