//------------------------------// // A New World. A New Adventure // Story: Sonic Adventure in Equestria // by SonvsMar //------------------------------// Meanwhile, in the world of Equestria, Princess Celestia feels a strong presence suddenly appear in her world around morning. ! What is that strange power? It feels familiar, yet... different... the princess thinks. This energy... she concentrates her magic to find the source of the disturbance. ! The Everfree Forest?! This strange energy surge must be investigated, but my royal duties... She pondered on what do do in this situation. Twilight and her friends! They can help investigate! Celestia then began to write a letter to her student, before she remembered, Right, the raising of the sun. Down in a place called Ponyville, a mare named Twilight Sparkle is sleeping in her house, which is also the local library. She is a unicorn pony, which allows her to use magical abilites. She once lived in Canterlot, studying under the teachings of Princess Celestia herself. When she moved to Ponyville, she had gained five friends, knowing from then on that their little group would be inseparable. She is awoken by a ray of light from the sun through her open window. *Yawn* "Another day, another chance to learn more about friendship." she said, half asleep. She walks downstairs to the first floor, not wanting to wake Spike, her "# 1 Assistant," who is also a young dragon, and gets ready to start her day, when Ponyville's local crazy character Pinkie Pie, who is also one of Twilight's good friends, comes bursting through the front door, scaring the sleepiness out of her. "AAAAHHH! Pinkie! What are you doing?!" Twilight screamed. "Sorry Twilight," Pinkie apologized, "but my Pinkie sense has been acting up, and I have no idea what this one means!" Pinkie Pie was a party-loving pony who always seemed too cheery for her own good. Even so, she easily makes friends, and her parties always make other ponies smile. Her pinkie sense was a strange reaction her body would make whenever something was about to happen. Usually, Pinkie knew exactly what would happen, as each reaction was a combination of certain body parts moving uncontrollably. This time, however, Pinkie had no clue as to what this one meant. Twilight remembered the trouble her Pinkie sense caused her before, and wondered what it meant if even Pinkie herself had no clue what it was. "That's certainly strange Pinkie, but why did you come here?" Twilight asked. "Because you're the most smartest most greatest most genius pony ever!" Pinkie complimented. Twilight blushed at the compliment, but replied, "Sorry Pinkie, but I don't know what it could possibly mean. Pinkie frowned at this, and left the library in a noticeably calmer fashion. Twilight felt sad that she couldn't help her friend, but didn't dwell on it, as her assistant Spike had woken up, and handed her a letter from Princess Celestia. *Yawn* "What a wake-up call." said Spike, after being woken up by his unfortunate method of delivering letters, having a letter appearing out of his mouth via burping. "Thank you Spike. You can go back to sleep if you want." Twilight offered. "Thanks." Spike managed to say before another yawn escaped his mouth. "I'll be upstairs if you need me." And with that, Spike walked to his bed upstairs, falling back to sleep almost instantly. Twilight opened the letter from Princess Celestia, wondering what it contained. My Faithful Student, I felt a strange energy enter our world this morning. I have had enough time to track the source of energy to the same location where you and your friends first found the Elements of Harmony. I know the path to it through the Everfree Forest is dangerous, and I would have gone to investigate this disturbance myself, but my royal duties are keeping me from doing so. I am truly sorry my student, but I request that you and your friends should go and investigate in my place. I would not send you six if I did not have full confidence in your abilities. Be careful however, whatever is causing this strange wave of energy may be more dangerous than the forest itself. Be on your guard, and good luck. Twilight shuddered at the thought of going into the Everfree Forest, let alone finding something even more dangerous, but shook it off and went to grab her friends. As she left the library, Twilight thought, I wonder if whatever is in the Everfree Forest is what caused Pinkie's Pinkie sense to go off. Sonic opened his eyes to find out that Eggman's machine worked. He found himself in a location that was unfamiliar to him. He was glad to find out that the switch to another dimension was not as terrible as last time. "Man, this storm is rough! So, then, where's this big energy reaction of yours?" Sonic asked. "It should be around here somewhere." replied Tails."Aha! I'm getting a reading on radar! It's close! Sonic, can you see anything?" "Tails!" Sonic yelled, seeing a strange tornado right in front of them. "According to the radar, it should be over that way." said Tails. "Okay Tails. You keep an eye out, and--" Sonic began, until a lightning bolt struck their plane. "Whoa!" Tails screamed. "What the..?" Sonic said, surprised by the strike. "Aaaah! The engine!" Tails yelled, noticing the engine was struck by lightning, and stopped working. "Tails, do something!" Sonic said frantically. "Easy for you to say! We're going down!" yelled Tails, both of them panicking at the imminent crash into the ocean. They woke up on a beach somewhere. At the island where they woke up, Sonic and Tails met a girl named Marine, who took them off adventuring across the ocean. During their travels, Sonic and Tails met their old friend Blaze the Cat, who told them that they were in her dimension this time. Sonic was certainly glad that this method of transportation wasn't as painful as that. He took the time to survey the area, and found himself in an old building that reminded him slightly of the shrine of the Master Emerald. He tried to find Dr. Eggman, but, as he was expecting, the doctor was out. He wondered how someone so big and slow could pull an escape so quickly. Sonic then decided to leave the ruined building to try and find a civilization nearby. What he met instead was, as Eggman put it, "a surprise." Twilight gathered her friends after leaving the library, and were entering the Everfree Forest, when an orange pony with a cowboy hat spoke. "Are you sure about this Twi? I mean, it's not that I don't trust the princess or nothin', but do ya really think this is a good idea?" The pony in question is Twilight's friend, Applejack, a pony who makes a living growing apples with her family on the farm. She is one of the most honest ponies Twilight has met, and she is glad that she can always rely on her. "I'm with Applejack." a white unicorn pony spoke. "It just does not seem safe to enter the Everfree Forest, what with all of the nasty creatures that live here." Said white unicorn is named Rarity, and is Twilight's very generous friend. She works daily, making fashion designs and dresses, and has a love of gems, even being able to find them underground using her magic. "Come on Rarity!" a rather loud cyan pegasus pony exclaimed. "We've been through this path before! What are you and AJ so scared about?" The loud pegasus is Rainbow Dash, the self-proclaimed fastest in Equestria. She controls Ponyville's weather, and is a very loyal friend. "Oh, I don't blame them," another pegasus replied, this one yellow colored, "this forest is awfully frightening." The yellow pegasus, Fluttershy, was very shy and quiet. She is not very assertive, which makes it hard for her to speak up about anything dangerous that occurs. She is however, very kind, and takes care of all of Ponyville's local animals. "Don't worry Fluttershy!" Pinkie replied, certainly more happy than when she left the library. "You know what I always say to do when your scared!" She inhaled deeply, beginning to sing, before Twilight put a hoof in her mouth, silencing Pinkie. "Yes, we all know what you say to do Pinkie." she said, not wanting her to sing what may be her 50th song since she met the hyperactive pink pony. The group of six traveled through the path they previously trekked soon after Twilight first met them. Thankfully, nothing bothered them throughout their journey to the ruined castle where the Elements once lay. No manticore attacked them. The once rushing river was much calmer, allowing them to cross without any help. The bridge was still fixed thanks to Rainbow Dash's help during their previous trek. When they reached the ruined castle, they tried to go inside, but were greeted by... something... coming out. A blue, two-legged something.
