Unknown Planet: Angel Island An egg-shaped man with a gigantic reddish-brown mustache sat in a grey egg-shaped floating pod that had four canisters on each side filled with a dark liquid. On the bottom was what seemed to be a laser cannon. "There's no way to win, Sonic Heroes. Finally, I will be rid of you and will be able to build my Eggman Empire! Even you, Shadow. Ever since you've joined G.U.N., you've become a real thorn in my side." The man said, looking down from his pod at a pedestal on the floating island where a giant, green emerald sat. Next to the emerald was a large-red, biplane. In front of it was a bipedal blue hedgehog with green eyes and red sneakers and white gloves. He had two spines on his shoulders, an six spines on his head-in three rows of two. He did not have fur on his chest, stomach, or arms. Behind him was another hedgehog, but this one was black with red stripes on his quills, around his eyes, on his arms, and legs. He had white gloves and black, red, and white shoes, and had golden rings around his wrists and ankles. A white tuft of fur spiked from his chest-and his red eyes showed nothing but boredom. To the blue hedgehog's right was a bipedal yellow-orange fox with white and red sneakers and white gloves. He had sky-blue eyes and two tails-each tipped with white fur and his stomach and chest was covered by white fur. To the blue hedgehog's left was a red echidna with purple eyes and a white upside-down crescent moon marking on his chest. He had white gloves (that looked more like mittens) that had two spikes on the knuckles and red and yellow sneakers. "Oh? And why's that egghead?" The blue hedgehog asked, getting a small chuckle from the fox. "EGGMAN! YOU KNOW MY NAME IS DOCTOR EGGMAN, SONIC! YOU DO THAT ON PURPOSE!" The man-Doctor Eggman-shouted. "Do what egghead?" Sonic asked, as the fox finally fell to the ground laughing. "But now..." Doctor Eggman said, pulling a lever on his pod down as a laser struck the floating island the four animals were on. "I saved a little of the Hyper-Go-On Energy I drained from the Wisps using this on the island will have the energy react with the Master Emerald and send you to another dimension. Now normally I would be worried, since Sonic can run fast enough to rip holes to parallel dimensions, but I won't have to worry at all. This is not a parallel dimension. According to my calculations, only Hyper-Go-On Energy reacting with the Master Emerald will create a passageway to and from that dimension...and there are no Wisps in that dimension! Once you four are gone, all I have do do is look for the Chaos Emeralds!" The man explained. As the energy created a swirling portal around the island, the two hedgehogs nodded to each other and seven gems of seven different colors appeared around them. "What?!" Doctor Eggman exclaimed, "You already had the seven Chaos Emeralds?!" With that shout, the island and the animals on it were engulfed in the portal and disappeared with a loud boom. "CURSE YOU SONIC THE HEDGEHOG!!!!!! I HATE THAT HEDGEHOG!!!!!" ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Location: Canterlot-Royal Gardens Six mares in their late teens and what appeared to be a small dragon boy stood staring at a large, white statue of a strange creature that looked like multiple different animals put together. "Well done, My Little Ponies." a regal voice called out as two alicorn adults-one white and one blue-walked out and greeted them. The taller, white one ran her fingers over the statue and smiled warmly at the seven figures. "Defeating Discord was no easy feat. Thou shalt be proud of thyselves!" The blue alicorn said, right before the ground shook and a swirling portal was seen out in the distance over a large body of water. "What?" A purple unicorn said, recoiling in shock, "Another of Discord's tricks?" "Whatever it was, we have to investigate." The white alicorn said, "I'll prepare a carriage for us to travel by. Wait here for my return." ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// On the Island, the four figures had been knocked unconscious, and their bodies altered slightly, having grown to match their age (in the most cases). The 22 year old blue hedgehog had gone from 3' 3" to a startling 5' 7". The 18 year old fox was now 5' 1", and the echidna and black hedgehog were about the same size as the blue hedgehog. From the thick vegetation came a blue, silver, and yellow robot that seemed to be a copy of the blue hedgehog with glowing red eyes. "Soon, my loathsome copy. Soon I will prove my superiority as the one true Sonic!" The machine spoke in a gravelly voice. "More inferior life-signs approaching. It seems you are spared today, my copy, but after I gain more information on this world, I will be back to destroy you and build the Metal Empire!" With that, a turbine on its back flared to life and it was sent skywards in a blast of purple fire, before vanishing at Mach 5 speeds. "What was that thing?!" a feminine, yet rough voice said, a a cyan pegasus mare with a rainbow colored mane and tail walked out with the others-the two alicorns, two unicorns, two earth ponies, another pegasus, and the small dragon boy. "I have no idea. Yet we must be cautious. To speak of building an empire is no small feat." The white alicorn said, staring at the spot it used to be. A yellow pegasus with a pink mane and tail walked over to the animals and knelt down by them. "Do you think they're okay? That thing could have hurt them." She said, feeling their wrists for a pulse while the white Alicorn was levitating a red gem in front of her. "Most worrisome....this is filled with Chaos Energy, similar to what Discord uses...but it's....different." She said, gazing upon it with a purple eye. "How is it different?" The purple unicorn asked, standing ready for anything. "I can feel that they've been used for evil....yet more often than not, been used to stop that evil. It's like if Discord was good instead of using his powers for evil." The white alicorn explained, and a groan was heard, making the yellow pegasus jump back as the blue hedgehog stood up and opened his green eyes. There was a small dragon-boy with purple and green scales and emerald green eyes, wearing simple black pants and a white shirt, along with eight bipedal mares, one of which was inspecting the red Chaos Emerald. The two with wings and horns were obviously royalty of some kind-with elegant dresses and jewelry. The white one ore an off-white dress with gold jewelry, and the blue one had an almost-black dress with grey jewelry. There were white and purple unicorns, both with purple mane and tails, although the white one wore fancier clothes (a white dress, the other had blue pants and shirt), and there were two equines without horns or wings. One was completely pink (even her clothes) and the other was orange with a blonde mane and tail wearing blue jeans and a denim shirt. The two pegasus were as different as night and day, one was yellow with a pink mane and tail and had an air of shyness and insecurity wearing a long green dress, the other was cyan with a rainbow mane and tail with sports clothes and had an air of confidence...it was almost looking like a female, equine version of himself. "What are you doing with the Chaos Emerald?" Sonic asked, "And just who are all of you...huh. I guess Baldy McNosehair did some good by trapping us within a life-supporting dimension." "Chaos Emerald?" The white alicorn asked, and Sonic closed his eyes and the red emerald was drawn away from her, joining up with a green, cyan, blue, white, purple, and yellow emerald circling around him. "Now how did Knuckles say it?...Oh yeah! Now I remember! The Servers are the Seven Chaos...Chaos is Power...Power enriched by the Heart....The Controller is the one who unifies the Chaos..." The Hedgehog recited, before a groan broke his concentration and-before anyone could blink-he was by the fox's side. "H-He's fast!" The cyan pegasus exclaimed, "I-I've never met anyone who could move that fast. I didn't even see him move!" "Are you okay, Tails?" Sonic said as the fox stood up and shook his head. "I'm fine Sonic, although it looks like Knuckles and Shadow are still unconscious." Tails said, looking at the echidna and other hedgehog. "Not really" An almost-bored sounding voice said as the black-and-red hedgehog stood up, his red eyes gazing upon the nine figures in front of them. "This is new." "As long as they leave the Master Emerald alone, I have no problem with them." The voice came from the red echidna as he stood up, a frown marring his face. "And just who are they?" "I don't know. They were here when I woke up, but they haven't introduced themselves...kinda rude if you ask me!" Sonic said. "Forgive thy rudeness, strange beings, Thy am Princess Luna of Equestria-ruler of the Night." The blue alicorn said. "And I am Princess Celestia of Equestria-ruler of the Day." The white alicorn said. "I'm Spike the dragon! Personal assistant of The element of Magic-Twilight Sparkle." The dragon-boy said. "And...." Celestia said, a small smirk on her face. At this the dragon seemed to blush and avoid eye contact. "Prince of Equestria, adopted son of Princess Celestia." With that all but Luna, Celestia, and the purple unicorn looked at him in shock and yelled "A PRINCE?!" At this the dragon frowned, "It's not like I want to be revered for being a prince." A cough from the black hedgehog got everyone's attention and reminded them that they were waiting for introductions to finish. The pink mare jumped up first "Oh! Oh! Oh! My name's Pinkie Pie! I'm the Element of Laughter! Do you like parties?ILOVEparties!IshouldmakeawelcometoEquestriapartywhenwegetback!" "Okay....." The fox said, backing up slightly. The white unicorn mare calmly walked up next. "I, darlings, am Rarity, Element of Generosity...what happened to your clothes?! I simply just make you a new outfit when we get to Ponyville!" "As long as the shoes stay...though I don't think shirts will work for me or Shadow." Sonic said, turning so his back was facing them, "The spines would rip through them. They also must not restrict movement...I do love to run." Those words made the cyan pegasus perk up her ears. "Finally! Another person in Ponyville who loves speed!" At this exclamation everyone was looking at her, and the blue hedgehog was smirking. "I am Rainbow Dash, best flyer out of Cloudsdale, fastest pegasus in Ponyville, and Element of Loyalty." She said, holding out her hand. Sonic grasped it and shook it firmly. "Now that's cool!" He said, and Rainbow's eyes widened. No snappy remarks about her mane and tail? No comments about not being girly? Maybe this guy would be a cool friend! "I'm Applejack." The orange earth pony said next, "Part of the Apple family who supplies Ponyville their apples and Element of Honesty." "So there are no grapes?!" The echidna exclaimed in horror, before being slapped upside the head by the black hedgehog. "Oh don't ya worry your head. There are grapes in town." Applejack said, making the echidna sigh in relief. "Good. I grew up eating grapes. I don't thing I could just...stop..." He said. "I...I'm Fluttershy." The yellow pegasus said quietly, "E-element of...kindness." "And I am Twilight Sparkle, student of Princess Celestia and Element of Magic." The purple unicorn said. "The six of us who said we are an element make up the Elements of Harmony...now, not to be rude but just what is this Island and who are you four?" "I'm Knuckles the Echidna. Guardian of Angel Island-where we are right now-and the Master Emerald that keeps it floating in the sky." The red echidna said with a proud tone, "I'm the powerhouse of Team Sonic. I'm able to smash apart boulders and steel with my bare fists." To show this, he smashed a nearby boulder in a single punch. "Tough feller, aren't ya?" Applejack said. "I am Shadow the Hedgehog. The Ultimate Life-Form!" The black hedgehog said, "Speedster of Team Dark-a three person team composed of people with a dark past seeking a better future.Agent of G.U.N., the Guardian Units of Nations." Before turning his back towards them. "Well you could at least smile when meeting new friends." Pinkie Pie said. "I don't smile. Not after what I saw." He said, making Pinkie Pie gasp. "I. Will. Make. You. Smile! If it's the last thing I do!" She exclaimed, pointing at him, making him scoff. "Moving on." The fox interrupted. "I'm Miles Prower...but all my friends call me Tails! I'm the inventor and flyer of Team Sonic." "Flyer? But foxes can't fly!" Fluttershy said, only for everyone to gasp in surprise as Tails spun his two tails and was lifted into the air. "Most foxes don't have two tails!" Tails exclaimed proudly. "Now it's my turn!" The blue hedgehog said, before blurring out of sight and reappearing behind the group of Equestrians. "What you see is what you get. I'm just a guy who loves adventures! I'm Sonic the Hedgehog, and speed is my game! I'm the speedster of Team Sonic!" "That's an understatement. I've recorded him moving faster than the speed of light...which is 299,792,458 meters per second! Or 670,616,629 Miles Per Hour!" Tails said, and Rainbow Dash's eyes widened in shock, as well as every other Equestrian there. "It's not like I want to always move that fast! I only do so in a last resort when I have to rip into parallel dimensions! For a nice run, I love moving at an average of 765 miles per hour, three miles per hour slower than the speed of sound...though I CAN break the sound barrier in mere seconds." Sonic said, stretching out his legs. "HOW?! How can you go that fast?!" Twilight exclaimed, she had a hard enough time trying to calculate Rainbow Dash's speed at times! "Simple! I'm....way past cool!" Sonic said, and with that statement Rainbow Dash's wings popped open-stiff as a board. "Not. A. Word." She growled out as the other five mares who introduced themselves as the "Elements of Harmony" giggled at the sight. "By the way, who was that look-a-like with red eyes?" Applejack said, and the smirk fell from Sonic's face. "There's only one being that looks like me, and I hope to every deity I know that IT isn't here!" Sonic said, and the others looked at each other in worry. "Who or what is it?" Spike asked, scratching his head. "My robotic copy, Metal Sonic. A machine built by Doctor Eggman-a man who constantly tries to take over my world and the one I called 'Baldy McNosehair'- to counteract my abilities. However, it is so obsessed with proving its superiority and its belief that I'M its copy, that it has become my polar opposite. Where I go saving people....it's trying to enslave them. It can move up to five times the speed of sound....and..there are times I believe it is evil incarnate. If it's here...then the whole world is in trouble!" Sonic said clenching his fist. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "Data collected." a gravelly tone spoke. "The life-forms known as 'dragons' stay in a young form for long periods of time, only growing with greed or in a life-or-death situation where no one can help them-like an orphan being attacked." With that, Metal Sonic calmly walked forward where a pile of dead dragons lay. "These dragons would not bow down to their Master, and had to be dealt with. However, a life-form approaching the island matched the dragons here. Only logical conclusion is that one of the life-forms was a dragon. However, it would not be as able to defend itself as effectively as these dragons and would be easier to capture. If I could force it to grow through battle...yes...I would then free him from his prison of flesh to become the personal guard of this world's Metal Overlord." Metal Sonic said, "First step is to establish a base of operations. Once it is done and my Metal Dragon is complete.....All living things will kneel before their master!"
