//------------------------------// // Where We're Going, Evil Follows // Story: What If Dr. Robotnik Was In MLP: The Movie? // by BenjosComixInc //------------------------------// Canterlot Balcony... Tempest stands on the balcony of Canterlot brooding to herself, she watched as seven balloons float away. ''All this power, wasted on parties.'' Tempest said, as she walks down the stairway pass the frozen body of Celestia. ''When there are far greater uses.'' Suddenly the doors swing open as Robotnik comes in with a book in hand, he looks at Tempest. ''Agent Tempest, please explain to me why this history book sounds like it was made by happy little rainbow elf's.'' Robotnik said sarcastically. ''Cause this has got to be the most ridiculous thing I have ever read in my hole miserable childhood. It says here these ponies pretty much rely on ''Friendship'' to stop evil and bring stinking harmony to the planet!'' He said in disgust. ''I threw up in mouth on that last part, THREE times!'' He yelled. ''I agree, Doctor.'' Tempest said, the doors then open showing to storm guards coming inside with a staff with a crystal on top. They make their way towards Tempest and Robotnik and drop the staff by Robotnik feet. Robotnik looked at them confused. ''What exactly is this supposed to be? Some kind of twig?!'' Robotnik asked, as he picked it up, to which Tempest replied. ''That would be the staff of Sacanas, Doctor.'' Robotnik turned to Tempest to listing on her explanation. ''It will channel the magic of the four rulers of this land, and it will grant you the power of 100 armies.'' Tempest finished explaining, Robotnik looks at it closely watching it's every detail. ''So, this can give me the power to return to earth... Extraordinary. Very good my minions, you have done well, now put it somewhere secured when I have the princess in my grasp, now get out of here!'' Robotnik said. The two guards left the throne room just as Grubber entered with two other drones. Robotnik turns to grubber, hoping for some good news. ''Well, have you found the princess?'' Robotnik asks, Grubber looked uneasy but found the courage to speak up. ''Well ugh, funny story... It kind of seems like she...'' Grubber hastened a bit. ''She might of like, you know, got away... a little bit.'' Grubber said, Robotnik looked at him with a blank face as he continued. ''I know your disappointed... But I got one word for you...'' Grubber grabbed something behind him and pulled out a sponge cake. ''Sponge cake.'' Robotnik nodded slowly as looks at Grubber irritated. ''Can we have a moment?'' Robotnik asked him, Grubber ate the sponge cake and followed him next to the wall. ''Pin yourself to the wall.'' Grubber looked at him a bit confused. ''What do you m-'' Grubber was cut off as Robotnik pushes him against the wall. ''You know, I won't miss you when you're gone.'' Robotnik said, scaring Grubber as he continues. ''I would like you to know that I HATE hedgehogs, and if I ever saw one, I would kill it right on sight!'' This only scared Grubber even more. ''But since you're working for me, you'll be wise to test my patience. But my machines are diligent, relentless. THEY'RE EVERYTHING TO ME!!'' At this point Grubber was too terrified to even say anything else. ''So, do I make myself clear.'' Robotnik asked, Grubber only nodded fearfully as Robotnik lets him go. ''And prepare our ship!'' Robotnik yelled out to Grubber before he left the room. Robotnik let out a sigh before turning to Tempest. ''Doctor, may I ask, what exactly is this all about?'' Tempest asked curiously. ''Well, you see Agent, on my planet there is a blue pest who has the power to run at speeds that you can't even imagine, and without the princess I won't be able to stop him. Which is WHY I need the magic of the ''princesses'' to help me KICK blue ''buttacus''!!!'' Robotnik explained to Tempest as she nodded. ''Understood Doctor, just give me three days, and I'll have her for you.'' Tempest said as she bowled, Robotnik smirked. ''Good, because I'll be joining you on this journey to make sure that the princess is captured.'' Robotnik said to Tempest. ''Very well, Doctor.'' Tempest replied. ''And remember, Agent. If you fail me again, your horn won't be the only thing that's broken. Understand.'' Robotnik said coldly, Tempest nods. ''It won't be a problem.'' Tempest said. ''Great.'' Robotnik replied patting on Tempest's head, looking uncomfortable. ''Now let's renovate this dump!'' He said as he headed out of the room, with Tempest fallowing. Start at (0:08) Stop at (0:45) Later, the two entered the airship with a small army of drones and storm guards. Robotnik then sits down on his throne while Tempest looks out at the view. Soon the ship starts lifting off in search of the six ponies. ''Agent, set a course to the closest town near Canterlot!'' Robotnik said. ''Those ponies couldn't have gone far.'' ''Yes, Doctor. Setting a course for Klugetown now.'' Tempest said as she presses some buttons that were designed by Robotnik. ''You can run princess, but you can't hide. Once I have you're magic, YOU and that hedgehog will watch as I take over you're worlds.'' Robotnik said as he started to laugh maniacally. A Few Hours Later... Robotnik and Tempest had finally arrived to Klugetown and landing on the outskirts of the city near a dock. Once the walkway was lowered, Robotnik and Tempest head out of the ship and onto the docks. ''So this is the city they call Klugetown, looks like a mountain of garbage made by trolls.'' Robotnik said, chuckling to himself before looking at Tempest. ''Divert all search units to every inch of this city. I don't want anyone leaving this place without me knowing!'' Tempest nods and sends out search parties across the city and sends drones to guard the exits. soon later they were walking down the path of the city and storm guards, and other drones were searching the place for the ponies. One of the guards was confronting a civilian. ''Please PLEASE! I don't know anything!!'' The guard then throws everything off the stand. "You really think the ponieth got thith far?" Grubber asked as he was eating a candy apple. Robotnik rolled his eyes as Tempest sniffed the air and then saw a piece of pink hair on a piece of wood. ''Oh, they're here.'' She said. She then raised her voice and announced "Attention! A little purple pony passed this way. Tell me where she is..." Grubber then interrupts. " ...or thumpin real bad'th gonna happen." Suddenly a fish like creature made his way towards Tempest and Robotnik with an angry look. ''You think were gonna fall for this again, I don't know what kind of scam you're working with capper and the rest of your friends, but-'' He was then cut off by Robotnik who looked at him quizzically. ''Friends you say? Were one of these friends happened to be a purple pony?'' Robotnik asked the fish man, but he ignored him. ''I don't care, poison or no poison, you're gonna pay!" He said angrily, as he tried swing at Tempest but Tempest duct and kicked him in his gut before tripping him and swinging him through the air and nailing him on the ground. "Ooohh, Fishman juth got dropped!" Grubber yelled out. Robotnik walked over to him and knelled down where he looked at the fishman all beat up. ''Now... Care to explain where this ''Capper'' Is?'' Robotnik asked him menacingly. "I ain't no snitch! I won't tell you nothing!!" The fish man said, before a drone came over where Robotnik was and cocked his bullets at the fishman, scaring him a bit. ''Perhaps I wasn't clear enough, WHERE is this Capper?'' Robotnik said more coldly with killer in his tone. Meanwhile at Cappers House... Twilights friends were talking with the con artist known as Capper the cat, they were talking about how Rainbow Dash can do a sonic rainboom. But capper didn't really believe it. ''Stop playing me! A sonic rainboom? That's not a real thing! Is that a real thing?'' Capper asked curiously. "I'll show ya!" Rainbow said excitedly. "Naw-naw-naw, I don't need you doing a sonic "rainbooming" up in my place, thank you very much." Capper quickly replied before dash did anything. Capper then felt his arm being lifted by Rarity's magic. ''Whoa, hey, hold up now.'' Capper said alarmed, as Rarity's magic sewed his sleeve together. ''Whoa.'' ''Here you go.'' Rarity said as she placed two buttons on Cappers cloths. ''I do apologize. If we were back home, I could've done something truly fabulous." Rarity said kindly. "Okay... What's the catch?" Capper asked, feeling suspicious over this act. "Nothing. After all that you've done for us, consider it a thank you." Rarity replied with gratitude. Capper felt a little guilty hearing that, knowing he doesn't deserve it. "Oh. Uh, don't thank me. Really." Capper said, feeling a little shame wash over him. Just then, Twilight came over excitedly, calling all her friends. ''"Guys! We've been looking for the wrong queen!'' Twilight said. ''We don't need the Queen of the Hippos! We need the Queen of the Hippogriffs!'' Twilight said, pointing at picture of a hippogriff. ''Part pony, part eagle!" "Oh!'' Capper exclaimed. ''Oh, the Hippogriffs! Now, the trouble with that is... no one knows... where they are..." Capper said mysteriously. "Says here they're on the top of Mount Aris!" Twilight shot back. "You mean the mountain right outside the window?" Pinkie said, pointing at the window where it showed a mounting far off in the distance. "Objects in windows may be less mountainous than they appear. Heh heh heh..." Capper chuckled to himself nervously. "Let's go, everypony." Twilight said, heading for the exit, but was immediately stopped by Capper as he blocked the door. "Wait! You can't—you can't make it by y'allselves. You need an airship!'' Capper said as he puts a hand (or paw) on Twilight's back. ''And lucky for you, I can get you a ride." Capper said trying to reason with the alicorn but failed. "I think we can get there on our own." Twilight said, pushing Capper aside. Twilight then opened the door, revealing a mole with a top hat and goggles and a tux. ''Here's Verko!" Verko announced, as Twilight takes a step back. "These ponies better shoot rainbow lasers out their eyes if they're gonna settle your debt!'' The mole pointed accusingly at Copper. ''Brought the big cage. Let's load 'em up!" The Mane Six gasped by this act of betrayal. "You were... You were going to sell us?" Rarity said feeling hurt. "I knew it!'' Twilight yelled out. Capper didn't know what to say, or anything to say because of his mistake. He just knew that he screwed up and he couldn't help but feel more guilty. ''We gotta get outta here!" Twilight said, before hearing a laugh that she recognize, she immediately went stiff out of fear. HE found them. Start at (2:16) Suddenly, Drones started entering the building and pointed guns at everyone. No one in the room dared to move as the drones faced them, ready to attack. Just then a familiar Doctor came inside chuckling to himself, along with Tempest. ''Well, princess. Such a pleasure to see you again! Oh wait, It's not.'' Robotnik said as he and Tempest glared at the little alicorn. ''Robotnik!'' Twilight exclaimed, along with her other friends, who were cowering in fear. ''THAT'S Doctor Robotnik, to you!'' Robotnik said chuckling. ''You kids should really know better than to trust strangers, you see I learned that the hard way. Which is why I never made that mistake again, I mean, what would your parents say about this.'' Robotnik said. Twilight only looked worried as she looked at the mad Doctor. ''Now, we can do this the easy way, or we could do this the hard.'' Robotnik said as he looked straight into Twilights eyes. ''You could ether give me your magic, willingly. Or you could watch your friends, become my new purse!'' Robotnik said with venom in his tone. Suddenly, as quick as he saw this, Rainbow Dash flew right at Robotnik to try and tackle him, but he moved aside, revealing a drone right behind Robotnik. Rainbow Dash flew headfirst into the drone causing her and the drone to fall on the ground. ''RAINBOW DASH!!!'' Everypony yelled out, worried that their friend is hurt. Rainbow Dash quickly recovered and rubbed her head, but then she felt something grab her neck and lift her in the air. The drone holed her in the air with its metal claws as she struggled to set herself free. Robotnik looked at her with an intrigued smile. ''My, oh, my! Arn't you an astonishing little creature, your speed is magnificent.'' Robotnik said, as Rainbow Dash glared daggers at the Doctor with hatred. ''You remind me of a little blue hedgehog back on my world, has speed just like you!'' Rainbow Dash could only grit her teeth as he continued. ''You know, it'll be fun to take you back to the lab for a litany of invasive exploratory procedures.'' Robotnik said as he smiled evilly at Rainbow Dash. Meanwhile, Capper grabbed a wooden stick as Robotnik kept on taunting Rainbow Dash. ''Let. Her. Go!!'' Twilight yelled. Robotnik looked at her as he laughed. ''Of course, but first you must come along quietly! And I might think about sparing her pathetic life.'' Robotnik said as Rainbow Dash kept on struggling over the grip of the Drone. Suddenly, Capper swung the stick at the drone that was holding Rainbow Dash, knocking it out of the air and letting go of Rainbow Dash. The drone then fell on top of Robotnik who lifted it off of him. Robotnik glared at Copper as he tried to retreat but was stopped by a drone who pointed its guns at Copper. ''Who in the HECK do you think you are!!'' Robotnik yelled in anger. ''Hold this interfering buffoon!'' Robotnik said to the guards as they grab Capper as their prisoner. Robotnik turns around and sees Twilight and her friends escaping. ''GO, GO!!!'' Twilight yelled as she goes out the window and onto the windwheel. ''NO! Get her, NOW!!'' Robotnik yelled out, as the guards and drones head to the window. Twilight and the girls were hanging on the wing as the windwheel slowly went around in circles. Then a storm guard tried pushing the wing of the windwheel the other way. Twilight and Rainbow Dash both started to keep pushing it. They both started pushing it at the same time which caused the windwheel to break and spin faster, the windwheel then started spinning down the streets with the girls hanging on for dear life. Robotnik and Tempest head outside to watch the main six spin away leaving destruction around there path. Tempest then thought and came over to Robotnik. ''Doctor, I know where there going! There heading to the docks!'' Tempest said to Robotnik as he smirked. ''Thank you, Agent.'' Robotnik then presses some buttons on his gloves. Tempest looked around for sec, a bit confused, but then she heard a low humming. She looked up and saw an egg looking ship floating down next to Robotnik. ''Meet me at the docks Agent Tempest. In ten minutes and twenty-one seconds!'' Robotnik said as he jumps into the Egg Mobile. ''I won't be long.'' Robotnik said as he ''flies'' after the main six. Five minutes later... Twilight and her friends were just at the docks, ready to board a ship. ''Hurry!'' Twilight said as the ship started moving. Start at (0:55) Stop at (2:16) Suddenly, Dr. Robotnik came floating down on his Egg Mobile. The girls stopped on their tracks as Robotnik blokes there way. ''Heads up, my little ponies! Someone call an Uber?'' Robotnik said as the girls ready their selves for a fight. ''I don't have to tell you how many times. But I'm getting your magic one way, or another'' Robotnik said, as he pressed a button on his Egg Mobile and released two tentacle arms on each side of the vehicle, both with robo-claws. Rainbow Dash flew forward to try and buck the Egg Mobile, but as soon she was about to it, she was grabbed by the tail and then was smashed to the ground. Robotnik laughed at her attempt of beating him, but he had the upper hand. Robotnik was about to finish Rainbow Dash until he saw his right tentacle arm being pulled my Applejacks lasso. He smirked at this and his tentacle pulled foreword, sending Applejack towards him. Robotnik's left tentacle then grabbed her and then smashes her to the ground as well. Twilight quickly shot a magic beam at Robotnik who staggered upon impact, while Robotnik was distracted the Mane Six took this opportunity to dash towards the airship. Robotnik shook it off and turned around and saw Applejack tie the rope from the dock to the airship. As they were making their way across, Robotnik chuckled to himself as he then reached out with one of his tentacles and cuts the rope with it's claws. The main six all fell down and Twilight's eyes widened in fear, she then flew down leaving Robotnik laughing to himself. ''YES! Ha ha, I got them!'' Robotnik yelled out as he celebrated over killing the main six. Unfortunately, that was interrupted when he saw a flash on the ship that was sailing away. ''What was that?!'' Robotnik said as he pulled out a pair of binoculars and saw the Main Six together. ''Best escape plan EVER!!!'' Pinkie Pie yelled as they flew off into the distance. ''OH! Give me a big, fat break!!'' Robotnik yelled in rage over the fact that the Main Six had survived the fall and somehow teleported onto the ship. Robotnik growled as he could no longer see the airship, he tightened his fist in rage. ''Run all you like princess. As soon as I take over earth and destroy that hedgehog, I'll make you watch as your world becomes my empire, and everything you ever cared about will burn along with your miserable, worthless, lives.'' Robotnik said with killer seething in his voice as he fly's his Egg Mobile back into town. ...
