Canterlot
The dark brown clouds continued to spread across the skies of Canterlot, casting a shadow over everything and everyone there, Twilight walked up to her friends frowning. “Storm clouds? I ordered perfect weather! Rainbow Dash?!” she glared at her friend who replied the best she could.
“Uh... I... don't think those are storm clouds.” The brown clouds continued to spread across Canterlot making everyone feel anxious, Sonic stared at the scene before he made a deadpanned face and looked both left and right.
“Okay who had Taco bell for breakfast.” He said to no one in particular, he then saw two lightning bolt symbols appear from the clouds, which then revealed a ship that loomed ominously above making its way across to a landing zone, a Foal and a Filly walked backwards to their mom to which she pushed them Gently behind her for protection.
Pinkie Then started jumping up and down “Ooh! I bet those are the clowns I ordered!” The ship stopped moving and began to descend crushing three spire thingies. (I don´t know what they are) Which fell down and crushed Pinkie´s balloon stand, sending a balloon animal forward and landing in front of the ship.
“...Or definitely not the clowns I ordered.” Pinkie spoke flatly, losing her optimism. The ship finally landed before opening a door which slammed down on top of the balloon animal causing gasps to fill the air,
“Brian, No!” A random pony yelled, Twilight glared up at the ship while Sonic looked worried he quickly thought back to the night before and realized he caused this to happen in the first place, making feel really guilty.
They then heard footsteps coming out from the entrance of the ship to reveal a small creature holding a black box with the same symbol on it, Celestia, Luna and Cadance all walked out from the castle with Celestia having a stern expression, Luna having a worried look and Cadance had one of confusion.
The creature revealed himself to be a small anthro Hedgehog with white hair going from the back of his head all the way down to his tail, after he put down the box which opened up to be a megaphone of sorts with the hedgehog holding a small speaker that was connected to the megaphone.
he walked forward a little bit after it finished being turned into the megaphone causing an evil grin to spread across his face, he then cleared his throat before starting his speech. “Ponieth of Equethtria, we come on behalf of the fearsome, the powerful, the almighty...Thtorm King!” Everyone stared at the hedgehog curious, until the banners went down revealing a yeti of sorts with black armor and the symbol on its chest it also has a set of horns on top of its head.
This caused a lot of the ponies to whisper amongst themselves in fear, Applejack walked forward with a glare while Fluttershy looked scared from everything that was happening, Twilight and Spike turned face each other with unease, Sonic walked up next to Spike making Twilight face him as well with unease but she noticed something about his stature, it gave of guilt and sorrow which made her wonder why He was feeling that way?
The small Hedgehog continued to speak snapping everyone´s attention back to him. “And now, to deliver the evil, evil methage, put your hooveth together for Commander Tempeeeetht!” He gestured his hand towards the ship, which revealed a unicorn who had dark purple fur, a red like mane, a battle suit and a broken horn with magic sparks flying out of it.
“Is that a... unicorn?” Twilight asked unsure, Spike then spoke up.
“I think so, but what happened to her horn?” He asked in confusion. The three other Princesses dropped down from the sky and landed in front of everyone there, Sonic froze at that moment there she was his mother right there standing tall for all to see.
Sonic wanted to just run on over but remembered he had to keep his disguise on, so hesitantly he didn´t move forward. “"Tempest" is it? How may we help you?” Celestia questioned while remaining on guard.
“Oh, I'm so glad you asked. How about we start with your complete and total surrender?” Tempest requested sternly her gaze boring onto the all of the Ponies, she even spotted a bipedal in the crowd right beside Twilight but kept quiet.
Twilight proceeded to walk out next to Cadence. “Hi there. Princess of Friendship. Not exactly sure what's going on, but I know we can talk things out.” She smiled forcefully, hoping that the situation would deescalate unfortunately that would be proven wrong.
“Oh, goody. All four Princesses.” Tempest sarcastically spoke before marching forward.
“Here's the deal, ladies. I need your magic. And whatever caused the blue explosion. Give it up nicely, please, or we make it difficult for everyone!” Her voice boomed across, Luna grew a scowl.
“And why should we cower before you? There's one of you and hundreds of us.” Luna retorted back, which caused Tempest to chuckle.
“I was hoping you'd choose "difficult".” From behind her two Storm creatures appeared, along with a bunch of airships arriving from behind the dark clouds, causing both Twilight and Cadence to gasp.
Just then more Storm creatures rained down from the sky and landed on the ground causing Ponies to run around screaming with fear.
All around more of them showed up, some climbed up from the sides others continued to drop from the sky.
Tempest´s horn lit up as she jumped high into the air, and kicked a ball of sorts at the Princesses, Cadence jumped in front of Celestia and casted a shield spell which held it in place, which ended up failing as it went through and hit her and exploded on impact.
“Cadence!” Celestia yelled.
“I can´t... stop it!” Cadence yelled back while trying to breathe.
This caused green smoke to come out and cover Cadence in stone, The princesses and Sonic watched in horror as she was turned into a statue unable to do anything, Tempest then bolted forward towards them still intended on completing the mission.
Celestia turned to Luna with a panicked face. “Luna, quick! Go south beyond the Badlands!” Luna nodded, not noticing Tempest doing a spin move and kick another Stone ball towards Celestia.
“Seek help from the Queen of the Hippo-“ She didn´t get to finish as she was hit by the stone ball and turned into a statue, Luna gasped in horror and quickly shot a Storm creature before trying to fly away.
Tempest kicked another Stone ball and nailed Luna in the back causing her to fall down through the roof of the stage, Twilight caught her statue before it could make impact with the ground, she struggled as all the stress was getting to her.
“Luna!” She cried trying to carefully place her down, Tempest chuckled before jumping up and kicking another Stone ball directly at Twilight.
Twilight saw it coming and could do nothing but watch in fear, but right before it hit her something grabbed her hoof and pulled her away.
Tempest walked over with Grubber chuckling believing she had caught her, “Easy as pie.” She commented.
Grubber walked up next to her whispering about how he loves pie. Once the smoke cleared it revealed a pony with a party hat, “Oh, you totally got the latht Printheth!” Grubber said with admiration, only for the party hat to fall to reveal it was Derpy who had been hit.
“That´s not the Princess!” She growled with her horn flaring, she then turned to face her Hedgehog friend.
“Grubber, get her now!” She ordered, to which Grubber ran off.
“Guyth, we gotta get the Princess!” Tempest then looked down at Twilight´s crown before crushing it with her hoof.
Canterlot: Meanwhile
Sonic kept on running with Twilight not going to fast to avoid his identity being revealed, but that didn’t matter right now to him all he could think about was what just happened.
Three of the four Princesses were turned to stone right in front of his eyes, one of them being his mom, Sonic almost couldn’t hold back the tears when that happened.
But he knew that if he wanted see her again he was going to need to protect “The Book Master” which he didn’t know if it would be possible.
He was so caught up in thought that Twilight’s voice caught him off guard. “”Ryan” what are you doing? You should be getting away from me!”
Sonic turned to face her with a worried look. “Listen I know that they are after you, but I couldn’t just let them capture you!” He retorted, to which Twilight silently agreed.
They then heard Applejack’s voice. “Over here y’all!” Sonic continued to hold Twilight’s hoof, as they dodged a few Storm creatures trying to nab them.
“Come on!” Twilight yelled to her friends who ran across the bridge with Spike riding Fluttershy, Sonic let go of Twilight’s hoof to which they continued running.
“Who are you!?” Rainbow Dash asked, to which Sonic faced her with his Sunglasses off his face revealing his eyes.
“Why would you ask that now of all times?!” Sonic questioned, they kept running forward until two Storm creatures landed in front of them with shields and weapons at the ready.
The group stopped running, as Twilight tried to blast them only for her shot to bounce back and hit their position, causing the bridge to break and send all of them down to the water below screaming.
Sonic’s hat flew off his head, revealing who he was but no one had time to talk as they hit the water and were carried down the stream struggling to swim, they then went over the waterfall screaming all the way down and disappearing from sight.
Grubber and two Storm creatures came to the edge of the cliff looking down at where they fell.
“Which one of you guyth ith goin' down there?” he asked getting a growl in return.
“I would, but I jutht had a hearty meal, and I will think and I will thide-cramp. I'm very big-boned. I think quick.” They walked away not knowing that the group had survived the fall.
Below Canterlot
Twilight’s vision was blurry she couldn’t make out what was happening or where she was, her eyes continued to readjust until everything became clear.
She looked around to her friends all around her starting to wake up, she looked to her right and saw a stream of water, to which she slowly got to her hooves.
Her friends slowly got up from the ground, all finally able to see normally again, Applejack even found her hat right next to her to which she put it on.
The group finally got their bearings before Fluttershy spoke up. “Um, how did we get here?” She pointed at the spot they were all sleeping, which caused the others to think about it.
Twilight then noticed someone was missing. “Hey where’s “Ryan”!” She blurted out, while looking around, the others looked at her with raised brows.
“Uh… who?” Spike asked, they then heard whistling of a tune that came from a cave opening which the group had just noticed.
They tensed up as it became louder and closer, they then saw a shadow coming from the cave, which revealed a big Blue Hedgehog, who sung to himself with his eyes closed with a pouch in his left hand and a gold ring in his right hand.
”This is my escape I’m running through this worl-“ He stopped mid sentence as he opened his eyes to see Mane six and Spike look at him with wide eyes.
Sonic also stared wide eyed with his mouth dropped slightly he then thought of only one response.
“Uhh… meow?” The Mane six and Spike scream in terror as does Sonic before he’s quickly shot with magic from Twilight which makes him drowsy.
“Ow!” He then looked up at the invaded city.
“Canterlot?” He muttered.
He then dropped the ring which everyone watched with curiosity as it traveled forward until it turned into a portal, making everyone jump back in surprise.
Sonic then fell forward as his pouch fell through the portal and onto the balcony of Canterlot Castle, the portal began closing as Sonic made a desperate attempt at trying to get his rings.
He then collapsed onto the floor asleep, the Mane six and Spike could only stare before muttering one word in unison. “What…?”
