//------------------------------// // 68. Attack of the Bunnisus // Story: Sonic The Hedgehog x My Little Pony: Tell Your Tale // by BronySonicFan //------------------------------// In Bridlewood, Sunny and Windy were at the Crystal Tea Room. There, the two mares were making a clay vase. Suddenly, some of Sunny's clay splattered out while making her vase, and she got some on Alphabittle, who smiled sheepishly. Pipp, Jazz, and Rocky (Every new day is the best day ever) Pipp: A brand new day Before Alphabittle could say anything, Sunny showed her complete vase, and Windy finished hers as well, which made Alphabittle smile at their work, making them earn a a clay sculpture badge on their sashes, so the two ponies hooftapped together. A brand new chance, a brand new way To be my very best pony In the Brighthouse, Sunny was sewing a picture of Windy Windy also sewed a picture of Sunny, and that made them earn their sewing badge. And live my best life, 'cause there's only one now Yeah, only one now At a field, Sunny brought out her Alicorn form with a determined smile. Then, she used her Earth Pony magic on the field to make many carrots sprout, while Windy fled over the field with a watering can and watered the carrots. But then, the ground started to rumble, because the critters rushed out of the bushes and started to eat the carrot ropes, which made Sunny and Window watch them amused. After a while, the critters lay on the ground, one bunnycorn burped, and the mares hoof tapped together, earning their critters badges. A little bit later, Sunny and Windy were looking at their badge stashes. "Oh, look at all our badges, Sunny!" Windy smiled with sparkling eyes, and Sunny had the same expression, then Windy came next to her and placed a hoof over Sunny's back. "I knew you'd love being a part of the Trail Trotters just as much as I do!" "Check it out, Windy! There's still room for more!" Sunny exclaimed with a smile and sparkling eyes, also pointing to the empty spot on the sash, then she gasped at an idea. "Wait. Are there any badges that you can earn with your friends?" "Let me just have a look in the Trail Trotters guide…" Windy replied, looking through the guide book before smiling widely. "Oh, yes! The Wilderness Survival Badge has to be earned as a whole group." Sunny smiled widely as well and tapped her hooves together. "Oh, I think I might know a few ponies who would totally love that!" A little bit later, Sunny got her friends together to join in on the fun. Well, the rest of the Mane 6 agreed. Team Dark was not even around, but Sunny already suspected their answer, and Team Sonic choose to stay in town to look after it in case unexpected visitors arrived. Yes, they obviously mean Eggman or Opaline, who else might it be? Scourge? He's not even canon. The Mane 6 all grabbed their camping supplies, but as soon as they entered the forest, it was now pouring down rain, with thunder striking, while the Mane 6 deadpanned, Windy smiled, and then a critter moved pass them very fast, startling the Mane 6. "Oh, the outdoors. Doesn't it just make you feel so peaceful and calm?" Windy asked the Mane 6 with a smile. Pipp looked around nervously and smiled in that way while tittering. "Oh, yes. We are totally–– Ah!" She cried out when a vine grabbed onto her right hind leg. "––at one… Ugh!" She cried out as she got her hoof free from the vine, before falling on her stomach in a pile of mud. "...With nature." She tried to stand up, but fell again, this time face first into the mud. "Left here, ponies!" Hitch announced with a smile, with Pipp stood up with an irritated look, shaking the mud off herself, while Misty held onto Izzy nervously, Zipp gave a bored look, and both Sunny and Windy just looked at him. "Getting that Wilderness Survival Badge is gonna be a piece of… Huh?" Hitch suddenly trailed off because he saw a big mud puddle that is bubbling on the ground, which the rest noticed. "Hmm... This wasn't on my map." Hitch said confused, analyzing the 'map' on his hooves. Just then, Zipp came next to him and analyzed the map as well, before giving Hitch a dull look. "Um, that's because that map isn't a map. It's one of Sparky's drawings!" She pointed out, grabbing the map to reveal it was just a drawing Sparky made earlier. Hitch facehoofed himself in disbelief, and if Knuckles was here, he'll definitely smack him on his head. "Then what happened to the map?!" But before they could question further, they heard someone burping, so they turned and saw Sparky sitting in the ground, rubbing his belly and giggling with a satisfied smile. "Sparky!" The Mane 6 scolded him. "Ugh!" Pipp groaned frustrated. "So now we're lost, too?!" She questioned, then she started to cry, tears flowing out of her eyes. "No, no, no, no!" Suddenly, Izzy giggled and moved her mane out of her eyesight. "And we might want to find a new path. That bog is way too stinky." She explained, gesturing to the big puddle, while a pegasnail came trailing by, and Izzy grabbed it when it started sinking and pulled it out. "We put one hoof in there, and we're gonna be mud ponies forever!" She cheered with a silly look, then she smiled. "Could be kind of fun." Pipp chuckled sarcastically before deadpanning. "Yeah, that's a hard no for me, Iz. Any other ideas?" Sunny started to look around, before noticing something that made her smile. "Nopony panic. I know that rock." She said, gesturing to the rocky hill where she got lost with her friends a long time ago. "Follow me!" Later, the rain finally stopped, the skies cleared up, and the sun was shining down again. Meanwhile, the Mane 6 and Windy were setting up a camp, with Sunny placing a blanket with food on the ground; Pipp humming happily to herself next to a speaker with a microphone; Zipp putting up the tent, and Izzy gathering wood to make a fire. "Oh, yeah!" Izzy cheered with a smirk. "What's a campfire without…" Pipp started, then she grabbed the microphone and cleared her throat, before flying up to her sister. "...campfire songs from ME-ME-ME-MEEEEE?" She sang through the microphone, amplifying her voice and making Zipp cover her ears from the loud sound. On the other hoof, Misty was moving a stick strapped to her side and humming happily while dragging the stick to the ground to form a perimeter, but then she bumped into Sunny with a grunt. "Camp perimeter secured, Sunny," Misty said with a smile, then she dropped the stick, while Sunny smiled back. "Leave it to me to keep watch." "And I'll light the campfire," Hitch said with a smile, rubbing a stick over some logs, while Sparky watched him. "Stand back, Sparky." Yet Sparky started to feel his stomach rumbling, so he stood up and turned around, but before he could ran away, he farted out a dragon fire that hit the logs, lighting up in flames. Sparky felt ashamed for what he just did, while Hitch stared at the fire a bit disgusted. Sunny, however, giggled after seeing this. "All that's left to do is… dinner!" She stated, then she stomped her hoof down, using her Earth Pony magic that spread across the ground to the seeds Izzy was planting and watering. Soon, Sunny's magic reached the seeds and made carrots grow from the ground, then Sunny picked a carrot up. "We are well on our way to earning that badge!" Windy said with a smile. Just then, a bunnisus came from behind a bush with squeaks and heart-shaped eyes, because it saw the carrots crops and hopped towards them, just to be stopped by Misty. "Shoo! Shoo!" Misty said to the bunnisus with a frown, but then she realized that she was being too harsh, so she kneeled down and smiled sheepishly at the critter. "Uh, if-if-if you wouldn't mind, please." The bunnisus squeaked with a frown, but it still choose to hop away, although not without glaring at Misty, making the poor mare flinch and sweat nervously by it. Despite having shown bravery in other kind of circumstances, she was still very shy in front of some circumstances. The bunnisus hopped through a bush with an angry look, but then it saw a stack of glowing pink crystals. It got curious and touched one, which made it glow in sparkling pink and start to grow in size. Back at the campsite, Pipp was vocalizing through her microphone. Zipp watched her sister with a smile, while Izzy came back with more wood for the fire, but suddenly, the ground started to rumble, and loud thudding sounds could be heard, with caught the Mane 6 but Misty's attention, as well as Windy's, as they looked around confused. And right Before any of them could question anything, they saw Misty running towards them, while dust was following behind her, as she gave a panicked expression. "RUUUUUN!" Yet all the group did was stood there in shock, seeing the bunnisus in front them, but in gumbo size. "Everypony, look out!" Sunny warned and ran way with Windy. As the two mares moved out of the way, the bunnisus hopped over them and kicked the wagon full of carrots in the air, then it caught it in the mouth and ate it, before burping out the wagon pieces. Pipp, Zipp and Misty screamed when they saw the giant bunnisus jumping towards them, as it knocked them away while destroying their camping stuff. Also, the wind from the gigantic critter's jump blew towards Hitch, blowing away the fire and his tent. "Come on!" Hitch groaned, and Sparky whimpered in fear. The bunnisus roared loudly, and then it began to hop away, towards Maretime bay. "Oh, no! The bunnisus is destroying everything!" Sunny pointed out at the destruction the giant bunnisus is making. "Including any hope of earning that Wilderness Survival Badge." Zipp whispered to the rest of the Mane 6. "All that matters now is stopping that bunnisus before anypony gets hurt!" Sunny said with a determined look, then she looked around and noticed one of the remaining carrot carts. She saw a carrot on the floor, and now she finally had an idea, so she smiled and used her Earth Pony magic to make the carrot grow bigger. "Everypony with me?" Sonic was sleeping peacefully at the Crystal Room in the Brighthouse. He was no heavy sleeper, so the minimum sound was going to end up waking him up... Which is exactly what happened once the entire ground rumbled and lift him in the air. "Huh?!" Sonic exclaimed in panic, sitting down and looking around confused, just for the ground to shake again and lift him a second time. "What in the name of Chaos?!" Sonic looked at the Unity Crystals with a raised eyebrow, but when the ground rumbled again and he noticed that the Crystals remained intact, he knew that the Crystals were fine. Yet another rumble made him stand up and ran to stand at the very top of the building. Once he saw what was going on, his eyes widened at the sight of the bunnisus, which literally destroyed the Community Garden outside the Brighthouse. "Oh-oh..." Sonic said with wide and panicked eyes. "Sunny's not gonna like this." After saying that, he noticed that the bunnisus was heading towards Posey's, and he panicked even more, because he knows that Posey has gone through enough crap because of them, so he attempted to boost towards her... Just to make a bad move and trip. He fell in a bush with spikes, and of course he screamed loudly in pain because of that. After that, the bunnisus hopped pass Posey's house. It landed on one of her flower patches, making her open her door to see what was all that noise about. "Huh?" Posey exclaimed, then she turned to see her ruined flower patch, so she screamed very loudly in shock. Shadow was staring at the ocean from a hill, probably reflecting about his life for the millionth time. Yet his thoughts were interrupted when the ground rumbled, so he posed defensively and looked around. "What the hell?" Shadow muttered confused. It seems this bunnisus hopes too damn hard. I say this, because both ponies from Bridlewood and Maretime Bay could hear the thudding sounds, since in Alphabittle's Tea Shop, said unicorn was giving a Unicorn mare a tea, just when the ground rumbled. In Mane Melody, Jazz and Amy were applying makeup over an Earth Pony mare. But when the ground rumbled loudly, Jazz ruined the lipstick, and Amy ruined the eye shadows. Worse of all, Rouge was near a mirror, applying some makeup over herself, but the rumble ruined it too. Yeah, she didn't took it too well, I'll tell you that. Her scream was... Quite loud and horrible to hear. Tails was at his workshop, fixing Fifi's delivery cart since the wheels popped off. However, just as he was about to put the final wheel, the ground rumbled loudly, and the cart was now trembling as well because of that, which made Tails accidentally drop the wheel, just for the ground to rumble again and made the cart fall over his back. Of course, this made Tails feel incredibly painful, but he managed to resist a scream of agony and pain. Omega was literally glaring daggers at a colt. He was at the beach with the Pippsqueaks Glory, Seashell and Peach Fizz, because he promised to their parents that he'll look after them the same way he's been doing for the past several months. Right now, however, he was being more menacing than ever. One of the colts in the beach 'accidentally' hit Seashell with a ball, and instead of apologizing, he made fun of her, then ran away and minded his own business. Of course, Glory and Peach Fizz saw this happening, but so did Omega, who's red eyes shrink a bit, then he grabbed Glory and placed her carefully on his shoulder, while he followed the colt along the other two fillies, and once they spotted him, they cornered him. The colt stared up at Omega in pure fear, but the robot did not care. "Apologize to the tiny Earth horse girl right now, or we will make you," He demanded in anger. Yet before the colt could do so, or even say or do anything at all, the ground rumbled violently, which made Omega grab the three fillies on his arms to protect them. He looked around confused, then the ground rumbled again, which confused him even more, and even though he was still mad with the colt for what he did to Seashell, he still felt bad for him when he saw him loosing his balance, so he grabbed him as well. After that, he turned on his rockets to stay in air in case he had to boost away for shelter. Back in town, Knuckles was doing his rounds around and watching over town. However, as soon as the ground rumbled, he almost lost his balance, but still managed to keep it at stake, and then as he looked around, he noticed the bunnisus in the distance. "What in the name of the Master Emerald is going on here?!" Knuckles asked confused and in shock. The bunnisus glared daggers down at Knuckles, but just when Knuckles was ready to fight... "Over here, Mr. Hippity-Hoppity!" Misty called out, cutting Knuckles off and standing in front of Canterlove Studios, also levitating the big carrot Sunny made earlier. "Come and get it!" The giant bunnisus saw the carrot, so it hopped towards Misty, which made the unicorn loose her courage. "Whoa. Whoa!" Misty cried out while sweating nervously, then she started running away, while the giant bunnisus followed behind her. Misty ran into the woods, then she turned back and saw the bunnisus getting closer to her and the carrot. "Whoa!" Misty said, then she tossed the giant carrot away with a grunt, making the bunnisus hop next to her. The bunnisus glared in anger, but then he saw Hitch running with a wagon that held the big carrot, so it hopped after him, while Hitch ran as fast as he could, then stop himself and made the the big carrot fly off, just to be caught by Windy caught in the air, then she flew off. "Over here!" Pipp called out, appearing suddenly from some trees, so Windy tossed the carrot to Pipp, who caught it and then flew away, while the bunnisus hopped after her. Soon, Pipp stopped and tossed the carrot to Zipp, who flew below some tree vines and dodged a few trees. Soon, the giant bunnisus hopped, so she flew up and twirled around to toss the carrot to Sunny. The carrot landed on Sunny's wagon, then she started running away with a determined smile, but then she saw a cliff ahead, so she gave a determined look and jumped over the edge, bringing out her Alicorn magic and flying up, which made her wagon get lose and fell off her straps. The carrot was now falling, and even though Sunny could have levitated it, Shadow came at tops speed and jumped, then kicked the carrot back to Sunny, who smiled and caught it with her hooves. After that, the now Alicorn mare flew off, but when she turned, she saw the giant bunnisus over her with it's wings spread and a smirk, making her gasp, so she flew faster into the forest, dodging around trees with no problem and heading towards a familiar spot. The giant bunnisus hopped into the mud puddle bog Izzy mentioned earlier. When the critter noticed this, it tried to fly out of the mud, but it was stuck, and it made it feel sad and defeated. "Phew!" Sunny said in relief, but then she giggled sheepishly, while her friends behind looked at the critter confused. "Uh, careful, little–– uh, big critter." Then, the bunnisus started to cry because of being stuck, while Shadow suddenly appeared at Sunny's side. "The hell happened to them to get that big?" He asked confused. "I don't think it matters anymore. What's important is that we prevented a major disaster." Sunny said with a smile. "You start to sound like Sonic. I should worry, a lot," Shadow deadpanned. Sunny rolled her eyes and giggled, then looked at the bunnisus with a smile "We'll get you free just as soon as you're back to normal." Just then, Izzy grabbed some crystals and stood up. "These ought to do it," She smiled, then levitated the crystals around the giant bunnisus. The crystals shimmered brightly and used their magical properties to shrank the bunnisus back into its normal size, while Izzy caught it with her magic, making it squeak a bit in a very cute way. Then, Izzy brought it to her hooves and hugged it with a cheery smile. "Awww! What a little cutie!" Izzy said with sparkling eyes, nuzzling her cheek with the bunnisus'. This made the rest of Mane 6 and Windy cheer to their success, while Shadow just shrugged and teleported away, since he felt this was none of his business. "Now look out for those giga gems, you hear?" Izzy said to the bunnisus, as she put it down, while the critter hopped towards the giant carrot and began to chomp it quickly. Then, Misty came up to Sunny with concern. "Sorry things didn't work out how you'd hoped, Sunny." "Aw, thanks, Misty," Sunny told her with a smile. "But we can always try to earn the Wilderness Survival Badge some other time. Right, Windy?" Windy, however, smiled and cleared her throat. "Actually, the Wilderness Survival Badge isn't just about putting up tents or lighting a campfire. It's about working together," She explained, holding up the badge, while the others listened with smiles, and Sunny smiled with sparkling eyes, with Windy coming up to Sunny. "Which... is exactly what we just did!" "Aw, yeah!" Sunny cheered joyfully. After that, the Mane 6 and Windy put their earned survival badges on their respective sashes, and then they all started to cheer at their success, hooftapping each other as a team, while the Cutie Marks of the seven ponies started to glow and sparkle up. Meanwhile, in the Crystal Brighthouse, Sonic was trying so hard not to scream. After falling on that bush with spikes, Amy had to come from Mane Melody and attend him with a bored expression, removing the spikes from his body that got attached to it. "I'm the Fastest–– OW!" Sonic groaned when Amy removed another spike from hi back. "––Thing Alive. I have survived literal–– DANG IT!" He groaned again when Amy removed a spike off his shoulder. "––Explosions! I have conquered gods and machines–– Hahaoya!" He groaned when Amy took off a spike from his arm, also saying 'Mommy!' in Japanese. "But then I fell on a bush with spikes, and now everything hurts. Why?! I'm a hedgehog! I have quills, for Chaos–– SAKE! GAH!" Amy rolled her eyes after removing another spike off his back. "Should I remind you that you are no god, and that you're just as mortal as any of us?" She asked sarcastically. "Well, it'll be great if I wasn't!" Sonic groaned a bit mad, then groaned again and loudly when Amy removed a spike from his arm again. Meanwhile, Tails was not so far, laying on his back over a giant piece of ice after his incident earlier. "I won't be able to sit for a freaking week, guys..." Tails groaned painfully, also pulling his tongue out to add more drama. Amy rolled her eyes again in annoyance and shook her head in disappointment. "I'm surrounded by toddlers..." THE END
