	Sonic the Hedgehog, hero of the planet, was doing what he loved the most, running faster than anyone could dream. Granted, his name being Sonic, you would think that he would be pretty fast. Sonic was known worldwide for not only his speed, but for his brave acts of heroism. No matter how big or small a problem may be, Sonic always stopped to help those in need. He was running across the lush green hills of South Island when something appeared in front of him, making him stop, which, while not on a dime, was pretty fast for the speed he was going at. What stopped him was the face of one that Sonic knows all too well...

...But for all of the wrong reasons.

The one in question was none other than the infamous Dr. Ivo Robotnik, better known as his nickname Dr. Eggman. Dr. Eggman is an evil scientist who has tried to take over the world countless times, each try being a failure, as Sonic always steps in to stop him. While his plans always fail, one cannot deny that he is an incredible genius, and with an IQ of 300, plus an army of robots at his side, Dr. Eggman always proves to be a fun challenge for Sonic to fight.

"Hahahahaha!" Eggman chortled.
"What's so funny Eggman? Thought of another evil plan for me to foil?" Sonic taunted.
"You're half right my spiky friend. It is another one of my ingenious plans, but this time..." started Eggman before Sonic cut in,
"'This time it'll work, and finally me and my mustache will win.'"
"Hmph!" Eggman bristled at this mocking of his genious, "You won't be so cocky when I show you what it is!"
"Really Eggman? You're going to tell me the plan from the beginning? And I thought I was impatient." Sonic chuckled.
"Who said anything about telling you? I'll show you what it is right now!" said Eggman.

On cue, a large machine appeared from behind one slightly large hill, and floated towards the two.
"Behold, my latest creation, the Egg Tumbler!" gloated Eggman.
"Not too shabby looking Eggman. I can already tell that this'll be fun!" said Sonic, preparing for an action-packed fight.
"Why thank you, but I'll have you know that this is not a fighting machine. It's a machine that can harness the energy from the Chaos Emeralds without needing the Emeralds themselves. All it needs is to find another set of powerful objects similar to the Chaos Emeralds," said Eggman.
"What, are you taking us to Blaze's dimension? Remember the last times you fused both dimensions together with Eggman Nega?" reminded Sonic.
"Yes. All too well." Eggman admitted, trying to forget those last two times. "That is why I'm not going after the Sol Emeralds."
"Then what do you have planned instead?" Sonic said, tensing up, as he needed to be careful about whatever dimension Eggman was going to fuse theirs to.
"Hehehehe... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" chortled Eggman. "This is a dimension filled with those with far less fighting experience than you or the cat."
"What place do you have in mind then?" questioned Sonic. Whatever it is, I have a bad feeling about it.
"Oh you'll find out my friend. It'll surely give you a surprise," Eggman said with an ominous tone.
"Whatever! I'm not gonna let you get away with it! This'll be over in a Sonic second!" Sonic stated confidently.

Eggman however, was expecting that response, so he already had the activation switch ready. He pulled it before Sonic could make a move, and the Egg Tumbler pulled Sonic and Eggman into an unknown dimension, as well as some of Sonic's friends, who were not expecting a sudden vacation to a new dimension.

A dimension that you may know as Equestria.
