Infiltrate! Area 99

(BGM: SONIC DRIVE - Hironobu Kageyama & Hideaki Takatori)

The opening begins as a blue streak of light dashes down the road

S-O-N-I-C, GO!

Another streak of light appear in the sky, following the blue one, this one was rainbow colored

S-O-N-I-C, GO!

The two streaks slow down, the blue one reveals to be Sonic the Hedgehog while the rainbow one reveals to be Rainbow Dash.

Go, go, go go, LET'S GO!

Sonic and Rainbow Dash grin at each other before they both dash toward the screen before it fades white as the title appears on it

SONIC X: FRIENDSHIP IS UNIVERSAL

Sonic and Rainbow Dash charge forward as they infiltrate a city that was taken over by the evil genius Dr. Eggman and the mad scientist earth pony Steam. The alarms go off as Eggman and Steam sent their robot minions to stop Sonic and Rainbow Dash.

Yesterday's rules

are simply loose today

The best goal is to break them

Sonic and Rainbow Dash race across the streets when they saw robot soldiers blocking their way. Sonic jumps and uses his homing attack on them, while Rainbow Dash speeds her way through them, knocking them down like bowling pins. They try to enter the building where their arch-enemies are, but another wave of robots chase after them out of the building.

If I don't keep running

There's no other meaning

It's a punk philosophy

On another part of town, Knuckles was driving a hover car down the road, with Cream, Cheese, Fluttershy, Angel and Applejack. They notice Sonic and Rainbow Dash greeting them, Sonic giving a thumbs up and Rainbow Dash winking them before dashing ahead of them. Then the robots who were chasing after them appear, causing Knuckles, Applejack and the others to scream in horror as they speed up and try to catch up with the two speeders.

Eggman and Steam watched this whole scene from aboard their hover ships, Eggman in his Egg Mobile and Steam on his Steam Cloud. They notice Tails, along with Amy, Twilight Sparkle, Spike, Pinkie Pie and Rarity, flying in the Tornado 2.

Biorhythm is

a two-time rhythm

The scenery instantly becomes countless lines

The wind envelops me

Eggman and Steam laugh evilly as they fire their missiles at the Tornado 2. Tails and the others notice them and scream in horror. Tails then transforms the Tornado 2 into its battle formation, gaining more speed as he tries to outfly the missiles, the others screaming in horror, while Pinkie Pie shouts and laughs with joy as if riding in a roller coaster.

On the road, Sonic, Rainbow Dash, Knuckles and the others are still being chased by the robot soldiers, until they notice the Tornado 2, followed by Eggman and Steam's missiles, coming right at them! The two parties collide, resulting into a big explosion. Sonic and Rainbow Dash are sent flying into the sky, followed by the Tornado 2. Tails and Twilight toss each a Power Ring, one for Sonic and the other for Rainbow Dash.

Inside Outside attack

Surpass everything altogether

I won't let no one

and nothing go forward

Knuckles and Applejack take down the robots, Knuckles uses his punches, while Applejack uses her bucking. Cream, Cheese, Fluttershy and Angel work together to outsmart the robots into attacking each other.

A bright light shines from above them, they look up and see Sonic and Rainbow Dash coming down, with Power Rings in hand and hoof. Sonic then curls into his ball form and Spin Dashs down toward a robot, destroying it, then proceeds to destroy more robots. Rainbow Dash speed increases tenfold, that she performs her Sonic Rainboom in just a few short seconds, smashing into a robot, destroying it, then proceeds to destroy more robots.

Inside Outside, GO! SONIC!

Everything altogether, Yes! Sonic!

"Watch out" and "Have a nice" are similar

That's right – both are by the skin of your teeth

Sonic and Rainbow Dash then join hand and hoof together and perform the Sonic Rainboost combo, as they charge into the building where Eggman and Steam control the city, smashing and destroying everything inside it, much to Eggman and Steam's horror. Sonic and Rainbow Dash burst out from the top of the building, as it explodes into a million pieces.

While in mid-air, Sonic and Rainbow Dash look at each other and grin before they bro fist-hoof with each other, while their friends cheer for them, while Knuckles smiles warmly. Unknown to them, Shadow the Hedgehog, along with Rouge the Bat, Gilda and The Great and Powerful Trixie were watching from the top of one of the buildings.

Throw boredom away

And start running

Sonic closes his eyes and floats up into the air, as the seven Chaos Emeralds fly around him, followed by Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Applejack, Pinkie Pie and Rarity, all wearing their respective Elements of Harmony. Then in a flash of Chaos Energy and Magic of Friendship, Sonic and the Mane 6 transform into Super Sonic, and the Super Mane 6. They stare at the shadowy figures of some mysterious enemies, before charging at them, full speed, the mystery enemies charge back at them, the two parties collide resulting into a giant explosion.

S-O-N-I-C, GO!

Chris, Kat, and their family and friends, Big the Cat, Froggy, Charmy and Chocola, along with the Mobian animals cheer on for Sonic and his friends, while Vanilla smiles warmly, along with Vector and Espio

S-O-N-I-C, GO!

The Cutie Mark Crusaders, Derpy Hooves, Lyra, Bon Bon, the ponies of Ponyville and the griffons of the Griffon Kingdom cheer on for the Mane 6 and their friends, while Princess Celestia smiles warmly, along with Princess Luna, Princess Cadance, Shining Armor, Zecora, King Czar, Hawkeem and La Tormenta

Go, go, go go, LET'S GO!

Sonic and Rainbow Dash then land back on the ground and pose together for the screen, along with Chris, Kat, Tails, Twilight Sparkle and all of their friends and family. Eggman and Steam are seen cursing out to them in the background before storming off, ending the opening sequence.

(BGM ends)


Episode 2

Infiltrate! Area 99


Sonic and Rainbow Dash had decided to stay and relax at Chris and Kat's mansion. However, they needed to stay out of everyone's sight, except for Chris and Kat, so not to scare them, especially because of what happened that certain night.

The next day, Sonic was relaxing on the roof, while Rainbow Dash was taking a nap on a cloud above the mansion. Chris and Kat were on the balcony, talking with their mom on the phone.

Chris wore a red shirt with short white sleeves, and long black ski sleeves coming out of them, yellow turtle neck, small yellow designs on the chest and shoulders, blue jeans with cobalt blue around the knees, a yellow belt, white socks and blue and yellow sneakers.

Kat wore a white t-shirt with small blue flowers all over, a zip-opened cyan blue jacket, with pockets on the front, a pink skirt with white on the sides, black pants under it, white socks and cyan sneakers.

"Hello my lovely children!" their mom spoke through the phone. "I regret informing that there's been a lot of rain storms here, so we had to suspend the filming until they stop. Because of that, I won't be able to return home for at least another week or so. But I'll make it up to you by sending you two some presents, I hope you like them!"

"Thanks Mom!" Chris said. "By the way, there's something we'd like to talk to you about."

"What is it? Did something happen?" their mom asked.

"Well mom, do you remember what you said about not being allowed to swim in the adults' pool and not being allowed to swim at night?" Chris asked.

"WHAT?!" their mom gawked in shock. "Are you saying you decided to go swimming in the adults' pool at night and alone?!"

"Not exactly…you see…" Chris looked up at Sonic who was relaxing on the roof. "A cat fell inside the pool and I jumped in to save it!"

Sonic gave Chris a weird look at the fact that he's been called a "cat".

"Aww, so that's what really happened? I'm so proud of you son for saving an innocent cat from drowning, you have such a gold heart like me!" the mother praised her son.

"Aw mom, quit it, you're making me blush." Chris said, rubbing the back of his head.

Kat then took the phone from Chris' hand. "And that's not all, there was a…" she looks up to see Rainbow Dash sleeping on a cloud. "…there was also this cute injured puppy who wondered into our garden and I treated its wounds!"

Rainbow Dash's ear twitched, she opened her eye and looked down at Kat, after hearing her call her a "puppy".

"Aww, you've got such a pure and kind heart my dear Kat! I'm proud to call myself the luckiest mother in the world, having such brave and kind-hearted children!" their mother continued on praising them.

"Aww seriously mommy, you're embarrassing us!" Kat blushed.

"Anyway, I would love to continue talking with you, but I'm afraid I need to get back at filming while the rain storm is down for the time being! Now give momma your good bye kisses!" Their mother said.

Kat made a kiss noise at the phone, followed by Chris, both still blushing at their mother's praise.

"Good bye my children, see you next week!" the mother bid farewell before she hung up.

Sonic jumped off the roof and landed on the balcony's railing, and sits down on it. "Hey Chris, you do realize that I'm actually a hedgehog and not a cat, right?" he asked the human boy.

Rainbow Dash flew down from her cloud and landed next to Sonic. "Yeah, and do I LOOK like a puppy to you Kat?" she asked the human girl. "I'm actually a Pegasus for your information!"

"We know that." The two siblings replied.

"It's just our mom wouldn't understand." Chris explained.

"What do you mean?" Sonic asked.

"I wasn't just simply going to tell my mom that I had actually saved a giant blue talking hedgehog from our swimming pool. She would never believe it!" Chris explained. "Because normal hedgehogs are actually smaller in size, they walk on four and their colors are white black or brown, not blue; and they can't talk."

"And I wasn't just simply going to tell her that I've helped a cyan pony with wings who can also talk." Kat explained. "The ponies in this world don't have wings and their colors are usually brown, black or white, not cyan; and they can't talk either."

"Meaning…she would think you were making up stories then?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Exactly!" Chris said.

"Oh, I think I understand now." Rainbow Dash said.

"Yup, I guess it's true, considering how those guys reacted when they saw us last night." Sonic said.

"Just curious, when did you learn how to talk Sonic?" Chris asked curiously.

"Yeah, I'm curious as well Rainbow Dash!" Kat asked.

"Uh, that's a good question…" Sonic replied embarrassed. "I don't remember much from my childhood, so of course, I don't remember the day when I started talking."

"Well…I only know it was probably back when I was still a foal, but overall, I can't remember." Rainbow Dash was just as embarrassed as Sonic.

"I see…" Chris understood, while Kat nodded in agreement.

Then the phone started ringing, Chris answers it. "Hello?"

"Hello Chris!" a male adult voice spoke.

"Oh, hi dad!" Chris greeted happily.

"Hi daddy!" Kat took the phone and greeted him cheerfully.

"Nice to hear you too Kat!" their dad replied.

"Anyway, I just spoke with your mom, and she told me that you two helped a cat and a dog who apparently wondered off into our backyard huh?" their dad said. "I think it's time to update our security…"

"I guess." Chris chuckled.

"But I must know, was it hard helping them out?" their dad asked in concern. "Didn't the cat try to scratch you or the dog tried to bite you or anything?"

"No way!" his children replied.

"When we helped them out, they were really happy, and then we just let them go after that." Chris explained. "Besides, you have nothing to worry about; we've got Grampa, Mr. Tanaka and Ella looking after us both!"

"Yeah, don't worry daddy, they are all doing their thing and keeping us both safe!" Kat reassured.

"Well that's good to know." Their dad replied in relief. "Anyway, I have another meeting to attend, so I'll talk to later. Good bye, love you both!"

"Love you too dad, bye!"

"Bye daddy, love you too!"

Chris hung up the phone. When they looked at Sonic and Rainbow Dash they both looked exasperated at the fact they were still being referred to as a cat and a dog respectively, even if the siblings were only talking with their dad. Chris and Kat realized this and they both blushed in embarrassment.

"Oh, that reminds me; I bet you two are hungry!" Chris said. "Would you like to eat?"

"Yeah, I could go for some food, what's on the menu?" Sonic asked, lying down on the rail.

"Yeah, I could go for some grub right now." Rainbow Dash agreed.

"Kat and I have been doing some research on the Internet on what hedgehogs and ponies eat and we've found this for you" Chris presented a bowl of some small cereal like food to Sonic, while Kat presented a bowl of carrots to Rainbow Dash.

"Carrots…seriously?" Rainbow Dash gave a deadpan look at Kat.

Sonic picked a piece from his bowl and ate it. "BLAAAARGH!" he reacted in disgust. "What the heck is this anyway?!" he demanded.

"Cat food." Chris replied nervously.

"BLAAAAARGH! GROSS! I'm NOT eating this junk!" Sonic made a scene.

"Yeah, don't you have any grass sandwiches or anything?" Rainbow Dash agreed.

"Well…it looked like it was hedgehog food, but it was written that it may be cat food, huh?" Chris nervously said.

A sweat drop rolled down the side of his head

"I could get some grass and make a sandwich, but I can't just take grass from our backyard." Kat nervously said.

A sweat drop rolled down the side of her head

"Hey Dash! Let's go get our own food!" Sonic said.

"Exactly what I was thinking!" Rainbow Dash agreed with him.

"HEY!" the siblings reacted when Sonic jumped toward a nearby tree, while Rainbow Dash flew after him. "Where are you going!?"

"Sorry squirts, but we've decided to go out for lunch!" Rainbow Dash said.

"You can't go outside, it's dangerous!" Chris tried to stop them.

Sonic and Rainbow Dash grinned. "See you later!" Sonic then boosted off the tree in a blue streak of light, while Rainbow Dash blasted off into the skies in a rainbow colored streak of light.

"NO! COME BACK!" the siblings yelled, but they were already gone.

"Maybe we should have asked them what they like to eat first…" Kat said sadly.

Sonic and Rainbow Dash's absence only last for 10 seconds flat; Sonic came back with some chilli dogs, while Rainbow Dash came back with some grass sandwiches. The two sat down on the couch in the living room, enjoying their meals, while Chris and Kat sat next to them, while watching the news on TV.

"Last night, a giant blue hedgehog and a cyan winged pony with a rainbow colored mane appeared out of nowhere." The news reported on TV announced, while footage of Sonic and Rainbow Dash from last night was shown. "The police tried to intercept them, but all their attempts turned out to be futile, even the S-Team was no match for them. What are they? Where did they come from? Sam Speed and Sarah Sky of the S-Team could not be reached for comments; however, we have some interviewees who were at the spot where the hedgehog and the winged pony first appeared. Let's hear what they have to say."

"It was about this tall, blue fur, white glove, read sneakers and it looked like a hedgehog." One police officer described Sonic on TV.

"It appeared to be a pony, only her coat was cyan blue, her mane and tail had the seven colors of the rainbow and she had wings." Another police officer on TV described Rainbow Dash. "Oh, and the mark of a storm cloud with a rainbow colored lightning bolt on her flank!"

"It went really fast; it just ran right past me going "Screeech", that way!" a car driver described and gestured.

"Those wings were REAL!" a woman explained. "The pony flew up while an officer was grabbing hold of her with his net and she spun like a tornado, sending the officer and his net flying!"

"Those two obviously aren't creatures from this world!" a man pointed out. "I'm serious! They moved even faster than a Mach 5!"

The scene changes to a laboratory filled with animals locked in cages, a scientist, holding a monkey in his arms, which was playing with the scientist's glasses, was being interviewed.

"They could have been U.M.A.s" the scientist explained. "If you're wondering if they could be beings from Earth, then…my answer is "no". The fastest animal on land is the Cheetah, and the fastest animal on air is the Peregrine Falcon, and they can't even keep up with a car or a plane. Animals who can run or fly that fast do not exist on Earth, so it is safe to assume that they are nothing more than mere machines…robots to be exact."

"What a loon." Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes as she took a bite out of her grass sandwich.

"Speak for yourself, what if you were caught while you were gone for food?" Kat asked.

"Even jet fighters can't keep up with me, relax, I'm still here right?" Rainbow Dash said all laid back and enjoying her sandwich.

"At least you're both safe." Chris said. "So how are your meals?"

"Pretty good." Sonic said while eating his chilli dog.

"More or less…" Rainbow Dash said while eating her grass sandwich.

The door opens and old man with gray hair, wearing a shirt with dark and light green stripes over his purple sweater, brown pants, purple shoes and a large white lab coat comes into the living room. His name was Chuck Thorndyke, Chris and Kat's grandfather.

"There you two are!" Chuck walked up to Chris and Kat. "Did you hear it? Two robots that looked like a hedgehog and a Pegasus appeared out of nowhere and outraced the S-team!"

His common sense kicked in when he finally noticed Sonic and Rainbow Dash. "Huh?" he looked at the news on TV and the two speeders, then he reaches his face at Sonic and Rainbow Dash with a glare, they both glare back. Chris and Kat react as they both grab a pillow each and cover up both Sonic and Rainbow Dash, trying to hide them from Chuck, while giggling nervously.

"HEY!" Sonic complained while under the pillow. "What are you doing?! Get off!"

"What the hay girl?!" Rainbow Dash complained. "Get the buck off of me! I can't breathe!"

Sonic and Rainbow Dash ultimately managed to push Chris and Kat, and their pillows off them, finally catching some air.

Chuck examined them more carefully. "Blue…cyan…rainbow mane…look like a hedgehog and a Pegasus…" he murmured, that's when he realized that it was the same creatures who showed up last night, his scientific instincts kick in as he grabs a hold of Sonic, while Rainbow Dash managed to get away.

"HEY!" Sonic yelled.

"Grandpa, what are you doing?!" Chris nearly panicked.

Chuck pulled out a screwdriver and presses it onto Sonic's back, causing him to laugh from ticklish. "Finally, I'm curious to see what you're made of!" Chuck said in excitement, still thinking Sonic might be a robot.

"Let him go old man!" Rainbow Dash yelled angrily and kicked Chuck, causing him to release Sonic.

"OUCH!" Chuck yelled in pain.

Sonic sighted in relief. "Thanks a lot Dash!"

"It isn't over yet!" Rainbow Dash flared her wings as Chuck recovered.

"Hold still you!" Chuck growled.

"Grandpa, stop!" Chris and Kat intervened.

"Sonic isn't a robot and neither is Rainbow Dash!" Chris explained.

"That's right Grandpa, they are both flesh and bone!" Kat added.

"Flesh…and…bone?" Chuck dropped his screwdriver in shock. He knew Chris and Kat would never lie to their own grandpa, so he knew they were telling the truth. He stared at Sonic and Rainbow Dash, who were both still in battle stances.

"In related news, more strange creatures have been spotted this morning." The news reporter on TV announced.

Sonic and Rainbow Dash lost their focus on Chuck when they heard familiar cries coming from the TV. They looked and they gasp in surprise and shock when they saw Cream, Cheese, Fluttershy and Angel cowering and whimpering on top of a billboard, surrounded by the police.

"Please, leave us alone!" Cream whimpered in fear while hugging onto Cheese.

"Chao!" Cheese chippered in agreement.

"P-Please…d-d-don't hurt us…" Fluttershy whimpered in fear while cowering next to the sign, with Angel hiding in her mane in fear.

"It's Cream and Cheese!" Sonic exclaimed.

"And that's Fluttershy and Angel Bunny!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed as well.

"You know them?" Chris asked.

"Yeah, I know the rabbit and the blue creature, that's Cream and Cheese!" Sonic explained.

"And I know the yellow Pegasus with the pink mane and the rabbit, that's Fluttershy and Angel Bunny!" Rainbow Dash explained.

"It looks like we're not the only ones who ended up in this world." Sonic said. "It's time to go!" he raced out of the house.

"Yeah, no one picks on Fluttershy and Angel and gets away with it!" Rainbow Dash declared, following after Sonic while flying.

Chris and Kat followed them to the door. "But do you even know where they are?!" Chris asked them.

This question caused both Sonic and Rainbow Dash to stop on their tracks and they race back in front of the two siblings.

"Y-Yeah…actually, we have no idea where they are." Rainbow Dash rubbed the back of her head, while Sonic shrugged off, while laughing sheepishly.

Sweat drops rolled down the side of both their heads, one on each

"Yeah, we didn't think so." Kat said. "But perhaps Grandpa can help."

"Someone called for me?" Chuck appeared.

"Hey Grandpa, do you think that Rainbow Dash and Sonic's friends were taken away by the military?" Kat asked.

"I'll see what I can find, follow me, to my workshop!" Chuck said, leading his grandchildren and the two speeders to his workshop.

Soon…

Our heroes were at Chuck's workshop built inside the mansion's garage. Sonic and Rainbow Dash looked around, while Chuck contacted the police about Sonic and Rainbow Dash's friends, while Chris and Kat all stood next to him.

"Oh, I see, that's quite interesting." Chuck said while talking on the phone. "Thanks, that'll be helpful…sorry, I'll invite you over for dinner sometime." He hung up.

"Well?" Chris asked.

"The police said that Sonic and Rainbow Dash's friends were all taken to Area 99." Chuck explained.

"Area 99?!" Chris asked.

"That's one of G.U.N.'s laboratorys, isn't it?" Kat asked.

"G.U.N.?" Sonic and Rainbow Dash asked curious.

"Yeah, also known as "Guardians of United Nations"." Chris explained. "It's a military organization working for the United Federation, equipped with tanks, armed cars, and other weapons."

"Sounds just like Eggman…" Sonic growled under his breath at the thought of his arch-nemesis.

"Reminds me of Steam…" Rainbow Dash growled at the thought of the mad scientist pony who was her and her friends' enemy, who kidnapped the Princess of her country.

"To be taken to a military laboratory, it means they plan on researching them." Chuck explained. "They believe that they could be aliens from outer space or perhaps even biological weapons from another country. What do you two think?" he asked the speeders.

"I think they are DEAD MEAT for kidnapping Fluttershy, along with Angel!" Rainbow Dash growled in anger, flaring up her wings.

"As if I care what they think me!" Sonic shrugged in annoyance. "Besides, now that we know where they are, we're going to save them!"

"But if you go after them, chances are you'll be caught yourselves!" Chris tried to warn them.

"Only if they can catch us!" Sonic grinned smugly.

"Yeah, the Speed Duo won't be caught by a bunch of losers!" Rainbow Dash boasted.

They were about to leave, but the workshop's door closed on their faces. Sonic and Rainbow Dash weren't pleased at all by this, they turned to the humans.

"What's the big idea?!" Sonic and Rainbow Dash growled.

"It wasn't me!" Chris defended himself.

"Me neither!" Kat also defended.

"It was me!" Chuck confessed, Sonic and Rainbow Dash stared at him in confusion. "This could be fun! My blood's boiling with excitement for the first time since I was younger!"

"Grandpa! You're not thinking about going too are you?" Chris asked in concern.

"Of course! And you and Kat are coming along too!" Chuck said. "Besides, weren't you the one who said you didn't want to live a dull, boring life like your father Chris?"

"H-Hey! That's a secret! Don't tell dad about it!" Chris said in embarrassment.

"I know!" Chuck laughed.

"This is going to be quite an adventure, I just know it!" Kat said in excitement. "I love adventures!"

Sonic and Rainbow Dash stared at the humans, before looking at each other.

"Are they serious?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"I guess so…" Sonic replied.

Soon…

Chuck was driving his old but still functional convertible car, with Chris on the front seat, Sonic, Rainbow Dash and Kat sat in the back. They have been driving for 2 hours from the city, into the desert area, Sonic and Rainbow Dash were both growing impatient.

"This thing is moving WAY too slow, geez!" Sonic complained.

"Can't this thing go any faster?!" Rainbow Dash complained.

"Patience my young friends!" Chuck replied while driving.

"Is it time grandpa?" Chris asked.

"Yeah!" Chuck confirmed.

Chris and Kat brought out some devices that looked like ear-plug communicators along with red and blue colored scopes each, that covers one of your eyes, and handed each over to Sonic and Rainbow Dash.

"Put them on your ears!" Chris explained.

"What are these?" Sonic asked, while he and Rainbow Dash examined them.

"They are infrared scopes." Chuck explained. "If I'm right, Area 99 is filled with traps that can set off an alarm with just one wrong move from any intruder. With these, you should be able to find those traps and avoid them!"

"They are also equipped with communicators, so we can stay in touch while you're away!" Kat added.

"Awesome!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed as she put on her scope (the blue one). "They'll never see us coming!"

Sonic put on his scope (the red one). "Right, we'll move on ahead then!"

Sonic jumped out of the car and raced down the road at supersonic speed, Rainbow Dash flies out of the car and took off into the skies, leaving behind a rainbow trail as she followed after Sonic.

"WOW!" Chris and Kat looked in amazement.

"Wow…" Chuck looked surprised. "They really are fast! ALL RIGHT!" he yelled as he hit the gas hard and drives at high speeds after Sonic and Rainbow Dash, while Chris and Kat held on for dear life to their seats.

Meanwhile…

Area 99 was a military laboratory run by G.U.N. (Guardian of United Nations), a military organization who works for the United Federation. The purpose of this lab was to invent and develop weapons and gadgets to protect their country from enemy forces and research any life form that may be an alien or a biological weapon from another country, which brings us to Cream the Rabbit and her Chao friend, Cheese, along with Fluttershy and Angel Bunny. Both duos were locked away inside of test tubes, as scientists researched them using their computers and many other devices at their disposal.

"What is going on?!" Cream asked from inside her tube. "Please let us go!"

Angel Bunny was trying to kick his way out, but it was futile, Fluttershy was cowering in fear. "Um, could you please j-j-just…let us go? I-If…you know…if that's okay?" she asked meekly and frightened.

But the scientists ignored them as they continued on researching them, as they were currently examining their body heat.

"Why is this happening?!" Cream wondered in panic. "Why are you doing this to us?!"

"T-This is scary…" Fluttershy said. "Angel Bunny…what are we going to do?!"

Angel Bunny was exhausted from kicking the tube, he looked at Fluttershy with a sad expression.

Meanwhile…

Sonic and Rainbow Dash were racing down the road, until they saw the building up ahead. "This must be it!" Rainbow Dash said. "What's the plan?"

"Sonic! Rainbow Dash! Listen carefully!" Chris announced through their communicators. "Once you get past the gates, head for the air vents, which should lead you inside without setting off any alarms!"

"Roger!" Sonic and Rainbow Dash said.

"But…even if they manage to make it inside, how will they know where they are locked up?" Chris wondered.

"I know!" Kat said excited as she took the communicator from Chris. "Rainbow Dash! Sonic! Once you get inside, look for anything that may look suspicious to you! That should lead you to your objective!"

"Kat! That's just…irresponsible!" Chris scolded.

"You got any better ideas?" Kat looked at her older brother with a sly look, making Chris realize he doesn't have any.

"Got it Kat!" Rainbow Dash replied. "We're going in!"

Sonic and Rainbow Dash head for the gate. Sonic jumps over it, while Rainbow simply flies over it. As soon as Sonic touched the ground, the alarm went off.

"Intruder detected!" the computer voice announced.

Sonic and Rainbow moved around at such high speeds, the security cameras couldn't keep up with them. They did as Chris told them and entered the air vent without being spotted by the cameras.

"We're in the air vent!" Sonic announced while slide down the vent, Rainbow followed him while flying.

"Roger!" Chris replied.

Sonic didn't get a soft landing as he landed on his butt at the bottom of the vent. "Ouch, not exactly what I call a perfect landing." He said while rubbing his butt in pain.

"You ok Sonic?" Rainbow asked him.

"I'll be fine Dash, let's just…" Sonic looked ahead and his scope revealed security lasers all over the way. "Oh, you've got to be joking!" he complained.

"What was that Sonic?" Chris asked through the communicator.

"Nothing." Sonic said when he noticed a window on the floor of the vent.

He and Rainbow Dash looked through the window; there was a hallway with security cameras watching over the place.

"Kat said to look for anything suspicious, but whish way should we head for?" Rainbow Dash wondered, until she got an idea. "Hey Sonic, what do you say we split up and search?"

"Sounds good, we'll meet up as soon as we find them." Sonic said.

The blue hedgehog ripped the window's cover off. He and Rainbow jump down to the hallway, but careful enough not to get spotted by the security cameras. Sonic went to the left, while Rainbow went to the right.

"Heh! This is too easy!" Sonic chuckled as he avoided the cameras, using a mix of speed and stealth.

"You guys wouldn't even see a big stallion Pegasus get past you!" Rainbow Dash giggled, making a joke about Bulk Biceps, a fellow Pegasus on steroids (just kidding).

"Searching for intruder…searching for intruder…searching for intruder…"

The security was having trouble searching for the intruders in the laboratory, but no matter how hard they tried, Sonic and Rainbow Dash moved around too quickly for the cameras to spot them.

Meanwhile, Chuck stopped the car by the edge of a cliff near the building. "I wonder if they are ok." Chris said worried.

"So do I." Kat agreed.

Back in the laboratory, Cream, Cheese, Fluttershy and Angel Bunny were still being researched on, this time they were using the 3-dimensional scanner on them.

"I'm scared Cheese!" Cream said as she hugged Cheese.

"Chao!" Cheese chippered in agreement.

"I don't like this at all!" Fluttershy said. "I just want to go home!"

Angel couldn't help but agree with Fluttershy, he didn't like being treated as a research subject.

Meanwhile, Sonic and Rainbow Dash met up earlier than expected when they find the door leading into the room where their friends were in.

"Um, yeah, I think this is the place." Rainbow Dash said, looking at the door.

"But we can't just burst in there…" Sonic said. "That would draw the security's attention."

"Then how are we going to get inside?" Rainbow Dash asked.

Sonic was trying to think of something, when all of a sudden, the lights went off, leaving the hallways dark.

"Huh?!" Sonic and Rainbow Dash looked surprised.

"Malfunction in the timing system…malfunction in the timing system…" the computer screen reported.

"What is going on here?!" one of the workers demanded.

"I can't see a thing!" another worker complained.

Taking advantage of the dark, Sonic and Rainbow Dash snuck inside the room and as soon as they saw their friends in the tubes, Sonic used his Spin Dash, while Rainbow used her bucking, to smash the tubes open, freeing them.

"What the?!" the workers reacted.

"What was that noise?!" a female worker demanded.

They couldn't see well in the dark, but Sonic and Rainbow Dash manage to take their friends to a safe spot where they can't be found so easily.

"Soni-"

"Rainbo-"

Sonic and Rainbow hushed Cream and Fluttershy, they both covered their mouths with hands or one hoof, respectively. Cheese hugged Sonic happily, while Angel Bunny greeted Rainbow Dash with a bro hoof/foot.

"Who's there?!" the workers heard them.

"Oh no..." Fluttershy gasped in fear.

"Come on, let's get out of here!" Sonic whispered.

The others nodded in agreement as they use the darkness to their advantage to escape the workers before any of them were spotted.

Meanwhile, in the power generator's room, the workers were searching the room for the problem. They noticed many of the cables were cut in half and there were small pointy objects impaled onto some cables and parts of the generator, sparks flying everywhere.

"What's this? A paper airplane?" one worker picked one pointy object up and examined it.

It looked like a paper airplane as he described, except it wasn't made out of paper, instead it looked like a small computer chip folded in the shape of a paper airplane, it had some electricity flowing through some parts.

"Wha?!" he gawked. "Who could have made this thing?! Never mind that for now, hurry up and restore the system to normal!"

"Yes sir!" the other workers obeyed.

Meanwhile, Sonic and Rainbow Dash were running down the hallways with Cream, Cheese, Fluttershy and Angel Bunny, taking advantage of the power outage as their means of escape.

"Rainbow Dash, I'm so glad you've found me! I was so scared!" Fluttershy cried.

"It's alright Fluttershy, I'm here now!" Rainbow Dash comforted her.

"But Sonic-san, how did you and, um…"

"Rainbow Dash."

"Right! Sonic-san, how did you and Rainbow-chan manage to cut off the power?" Cream asked in curiosity.

"To be honest, we didn't do anything." Sonic confessed.

"Yeah, it just went off by itself." Rainbow Dash said.

"Maybe you've got something that brought good luck for situations like these!" Cream said.

"Chao!" Cheese chippered.

"You think so?" Sonic asked.

But all of a sudden, the back-up generator came online, our heroes gasped in shock as the lights came back on, they stopped on their tracks as the security cameras all pointed directly at them.

"Eeek!" Fluttershy whimpered. "They have caught us!"

"Oh no! I shouldn't have jinxed it!" Cream felt guilty.

"It's not your fault." Sonic said.

"Yeah, don't blame yourself!" Rainbow Dash agreed.

On top of the cameras, they noticed small laser beam cannons come out and aim at them.

"Shoot! Let's go!" Sonic announced.

"Okay!" Cream said.

The Laser Cameras started shooting at them. Sonic grabs a hold of Cream's hand and races down the hallway, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy fly after them with Angel riding on Fluttershy's head.

Meanwhile, Chris, Kat and Chuck heard the alarms going off like crazy from their hiding spot outside the building. "Sonic! Rainbow Dash! What's going on?!" he asked.

"Don't mind us!" Sonic simply replied.

Back in the hallways, our heroes continued dodging the lasers, but Sonic and Rainbow Dash soon get fed up with being treated as moving targets, they looks at Cream, Cheese, Fluttershy and Angel.

"Both of you, keep moving and DON'T stop!" Rainbow Dash ordered.

"Right!" Cream and Fluttershy agreed.

Sonic jumps up, while Rainbow Dash flies up, and punch and kick the cameras, destroying them, while Cream, Fluttershy along with Cheese and Angel, continue on down the hallway. Sonic grabs onto a camera from behind and aims it at the other cameras, destroying it with it's lasers. Cream and Fluttershy react in fear as destroyed cameras fall around them.

"What are you standing there for?! Get moving!" Sonic ordered as he ripped the camera off its place and destroys it.

"Oh, sorry!" Fluttershy apologized as she and Cream continued on, along with Cheese and Angel.

"Area 2, closing!" a computer voice spoke.

The security gates begin to close across the hallways, as Cream and Fluttershy keep on moving with their critter friends, a security gate was closing up in front of them.

"Oh no! We're not going to make it!" Cream cried.

"Uh oh!" Sonic and Rainbow Dash noticed the problem; they rushed/flew after their friends to aid them.

Sonic picked up Cream and holds her in his arms, while Rainbow Dash wraps one hoof around Fluttershy's, and they dash under the security door, before it closed.

"Thank you Rainbow Dash." Fluttershy said.

"That was a close one!" Cream exclaimed.

Before Sonic and Rainbow Dash could reply, more laser cameras shot lasers at them, they dodge it and prepare for combat. But before they made a move, Cream and Fluttershy noticed something (or rather THINGS) headed their way.

"Sonic-san! W-what is that?!" Cream gawked in fear.

Sonic and Rainbow Dash looked and saw small paper airplane like devices, followed by spearhead shaped energy beams, flying down the hallway toward them. The heroes prepared, except instead of attacking them, the airplanes and spearheads attack the laser cameras instead, destroying them.

"Huh?" the heroes looked confused.

"I don't understand, what's going on?!" Cream asked.

"No time for that! Let's get going!" Sonic grabbed Cream's arm and made a run for the security gate, while Cream held Cheese under her arm; Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy flew after them, with Angel in the latter's mane, they all manage to get past the gate before it closed.

"Intruder alert…Intruder alert…Iiiinnnndruuderr alleee…"

The whole security system went down and the lights went off, due to the damage caused by the airplanes and spearheads. However the laser cameras were still on, except they were malfunctioning as they shot lasers at random directions.

"We've lost control of the laser cameras!" one worker announced.

"Turn them off!" another worker yelled.

"We can't! They won't turn off!" a worker kept slamming buttons in vain.

Back with our heroes, they were running/flying up the stairs while dodging the lasers from the out-of-control laser cameras. Just then a laser sliced a part of the stairs off, Cream screams as she was about to fall, but Sonic manages to catch her on time.

"Hang on Cream!" Sonic said.

"I'm trying Sonic-san!" Cream said.

Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy looked worried but relieved that Sonic managed to catch on time, but then more lasers start slicing parts of the stairs off, some almost landed on them, but they dodged it.

"We have to get going, NOW!" Rainbow Dash shouted.

"Right!" Sonic pulled Cream up and carried her and Cheese in his arms and jump toward the remaining stairs, before another laser sliced off the part where Sonic was standing on.

Sonic uses his speed and agility to jump and land on the intact parts of the stairs, while Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy flew up after them while dodging the lasers.

They finally manage to reach the last floor, where the lasers couldn't reach them; they were safe for the time being. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy landed next to Sonic and Cream.

"That was crazy!" Rainbow Dash said.

Fluttershy hugged Rainbow Dash, crying. "Oh Rainbow Dash! It was so scary, they were doing these strange scary things and…and…it was scary!"

"There, there, Fluttershy, it's all over, you're safe now." Rainbow Dash comforted her friend along with Angel.

"What about you Cream? They didn't do anything to hurt you did they?" Sonic asked Cream.

"No; thank you so much for coming to save us Sonic-san and Rainbow-chan!" Cream thanked Sonic and Rainbow Dash.

"Chao, chao!" Cheese chippered.

"It was nothing, really!" Sonic said with a thumb up.

"Um, excuse me, but are you a…hedgehog?" Fluttershy asked Sonic.

"Huh? Yeah, why you ask?" Sonic asked.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, it's just, I've never seen a hedgehog this big and with blue fur, and wow, you can even talk, that's amazing!" Fluttershy said admiring the blue hedgehog.

"Rainbow Dash?" Sonic asked.

"Oh yeah, Fluttershy, this is Sonic, he's a supersonic hedgehog who can even rival my own speed!" Rainbow Dash introduced Sonic to Fluttershy. "And Sonic, this is Fluttershy, she's an animal caretaker and one of my best friends! Oh and the white rabbit is her pet, Angel Bunny!"

"Oh, well, nice to meet you Fluttershy and Angel Bunny!" Sonic greeted with a smile. "I'm guessing you've already met Cream and Cheese too huh?"

"Oh yes, I was just as surprised to meet them as I met you, I've never seen a giant bunny that talks or a…Chao, was it?" Fluttershy wondered.

"Chao!" Cheese chippered.

"Oh yeah, that reminds me, Cream, Cheese, this is here is Rainbow Dash, she's a Pegasus who can even match my speed!" Sonic introduced Rainbow Dash to Cream and Cheese. "And Rainbow Dash, these are Cream and Cheese, they are two of my best friends!"

"Pleased to meet you Rainbow-chan!" Cream bowed politely to Rainbow Dash, while Cheese did the same.

"Nice knowing ya too squirts!" Rainbow Dash smiled.

"Anyway, now that we know each other a little better, what do you say we get out of here?" Sonic asked. "Chris, Kat and Chuck are probably worried about us."

"Ok!" Cream and Fluttershy agreed, while Cheese chippered and Angel Bunny nodded in agreement.

Before they made a move, Sonic heard a noise coming from the other side of the wall. "What's that noise?" he asked.

"What is it Sonic?" Rainbow Dash asked.

Sonic didn't answer right away. He took off his infrared scope and leaned his ear over to the wall and heard the noise more clearly. "Sounds like an airplane engine…" he murmured, and then he grinned as if he already guessed what it was. "The Tornado 2!"

Outside, flying over Area 99's building; Miles "Tails" Prower was seen flying in his Tornado 2. In the back seat, Twilight Sparkle and Spike acted as his co-pilots. All three of them looked down at the building below.

"It appears to be over." Tails said.

"I hope they're okay." Twilight said.

"I'm sure they're fine." Spike said.

As they watched, Sonic boosted his way through the roof, while holding Cream and Cheese in his arms, followed by Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy, with Angel Bunny holding onto her mane.

"Rainbow Dash! Fluttershy!" Twilight squealed with joy.

"They must have heard us coming! Hang on!" Tails announced as he flew down toward them.

Sonic manages to land on the Tornado 2's wing, while still holding Cream and Cheese. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy fly up next to them.

"Hey Tails!" Sonic greeted.

"Hey Sonic, Cream and Cheese!" Tails greeted them back.

"Twilight! Spike!" Rainbow and Fluttershy gasped with joy to see their friend.

"Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy! Thank Celestia you're both safe, and Angel too!" Twilight smiled with joy to see her friends and her friend's pet rabbit, safe and sound, along with Spike.

"Oh I see now!" Cream exclaimed looking at Tails and Twilight. "Those strange paper airplanes and glowing spearheads, that was you, wasn't it?"

Tails and Twilight wink at them as a way of saying "yes".

"That's right! Now hang on tight and don't fall off!" Tails announced as he piloted the Tornado 2, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy flying next to it.

On the ground, Chris, Kat and Chuck saw the Tornado 2 fly over them, with their friends on board and Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy flying next to it.

"Wooooow!" Chris exclaimed.

"Sooo cool!" Kat exclaimed.

Chuck chuckled in delight. "Well youngsters, mission accomplished, it's time to head home!" he said as he started the car and drives down the road back to the city. Our heroes enjoyed their reunion as they flew over their heads in the Tornado 2 with the Pegasus flew next to it, on their way back to the city.


(BGM: Mi-Ra-I - Run&Gun)

It was night time, in the living room of Chris and Kat's mansion, Sonic and Rainbow Dash's friends are all asleep on the coach and on the floor around the couch, while Sonic and Rainbow Dash stayed up late watching clips of the episode that had just played at the time.

You ready for the trip?

Just one more day to go

Put on a new shirt

And let's sneak off in the night

The sleepless city is even today

Still just looking over us

Why don't we sing it a new song

Events that could make you cry

Remembering without reason

With sound of the heels of our boots

Let's run through quickly

Doing things skillfully may be fine

But as we are clumsily standing here

That's what I really like about you

To shine bright, and be free

Nothing to be afraid of.

Since we've rode the waves of time,

Let's start aiming for that far off road

Saying goodbye to the boring days

There's nothing to be lost

Stubbornly tie the boots once more

Let's open a new door

The sleepless city is even today

Quietly just looking over us

Let's start from here!

To shine bright, and be free

Nothing to be confused about

The waves of time are strong yet gentle

Soon I will meet you there

Let's light up our world

After finishing watching, Sonic turned the TV off and they both went to sleep. The next morning, they woke up when suddenly Ella picked them both up and placed them on the couch. Sonic and Rainbow look at Ella wondering what that was about, Ella points out the message on the wall next to the TV. It was written in Japanese: "When watching TV, keep the lights on and a safe distance from the TV."

To shine bright, and be free

Nothing to be afraid of.

Since we've rode the waves of time,

To the other side of the far off road,

Soon I will meet you there

Let's go and find our future

Realizing their mistake, Sonic and Rainbow Dash stared at each other embarrassed, laughing sheepishly.

Sweatdrops rolled down the sides of their heads, one on each

They look at Ella and apologize, promising to never stay too close to the TV and with the lights off again.
