The sun shone down on the planet Mobius. Puffy clouds dotted a light blue sky. No robot attacks had occurred recently; it was all so peaceful and tranquil. There was one being who was enjoying that rare moment, when you have no cares or worries, and you can just kick back and relax.
"SONIC!"
The loud yell shattered the peace of the quiet afternoon, and shook Sonic out of the tree he was taking a nap in.
"Ouch, whoops, ack, ow!" the hedgehog said as he tumbled through the branches of the tree.
Once clear of the branches he spread his arms and legs out, slowing his decent slightly. He swung his body backwards, latching on to the tree, sliding down its trunk, leaping off near the base and landing in a crouching position on the soft grass. He rubbed a sore spot on his head, wincing slightly from the pain.
The source of the yell had apparently been Sonic's best friend Tails, who was flying towards him, his two tails twirling like helicopter blades, allowing him to hover.
"Tails, what's wrong?" Sonic asked, noticing the panicked look on his friend's face. "Is Eggman up to no good again? Is anyone h-"
"No, no, nothing like that. It's even worse!" Tails was sweating and he still had a frightened look on his face "It's the Chaos Emeralds! They've disappeared!" said Tails frantically. "Knuckles will explain everything, come on, we'll meet the others on Angel Island!"
"So much for a relaxing day," thought Sonic, following Tails to his workshop. Once everyone was present at the Angel Island shrine, Knuckles started explaining what had happened.
"Well, I was guarding the Master Emerald like every other ordinary day, when all of a sudden a vortex opened up," the red echidna explained. "It tore away some of the loose bricks and took the Emeralds before disappearing!"
"Knuckles!" Sonic called "You can find the Emeralds right? Just use the master emerald and-"
Knuckles shook his head "I tried already, Sonic, and it seems that the Emeralds aren't on Mobius anymore!"
*****
The Ponyville Library, a place of quiet and knowledge and home to Princess Celestia's student: Twilight Sparkle, who was, at the moment; panicking, the reason being an attempt to try and use a spell that would allow the transportation of objects across long distances. The spell had worked, and then had promptly gone wrong, and now a vortex of purple and black energy was blowing out a gale of wind into the library.
"SPIKE, GIVE ME THE BOOK THAT CONTAINS THE SHUTDOWN SPELL FOR THIS PORTAL!" Twilight yelled over the wind.
"Uh-uh-umm, AH-HA, HERE IT IS!" the purple and green dragon exclaimed with triumph.
The purple unicorn levitated the book over to herself, flipping through the pages so fast that they were just cream colored blurs. Eventually she came to the page she was looking for, horn aglow she started to cast the shutdown spell.
In a few seconds the wind died down, and the vortex disappeared. Twilight looked around the library, which looked like nothing had happened at all. The books and scrolls were still neatly stacked and books still lined the shelves.
"Odd," thought Twilight. She was just about to put the book back in its place on the shelf, when out of the corner of her eye she spotted something in the corner of her library. A green emerald, flawless in every detail, its crystalline surface shining with a green aura. She could feel it radiating power, too much for her to risk handling on her own.
"Spike, take a letter."
The little dragon got out a quill and parchment as Twilight began to dictate the letter.
"Dear Princess Celestia,
In my recent attempt to use the new long distance teleportation spell, I have aquired a powerful artifact. It appears to be some sort of jewel, and it radiates power constantly. Please give a suggestion as to what to do with it.
Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle"
"Okay Twilight, should I send it now?" Spike asked.
"Yes Spike, you may send it now."
The dragon drew in a deep breath and then exhaled. Upon exhaling green flames came out of his mouth, enveloping the scroll and turning it into a sparkling cloud which flew out the window on its way to the princess.
