All the Smash Bros. fighters, the Mane Six, Spike and the Cutie Mark Crusaders looked out to see the mighty foe that awaits them. "This is it. I don't think we've ever had a threat this huge." Declared Palutena. This was going to be a battle that none of them would ever forget for a long time. "Lady Palutena, what do we do?" Pit was uncertain that they would be able to take down this threat and started to fear for the worst. In the distance the evil mastermind laughed manically. "I'm not sure, Pit. This never would've happened if we didn't get involved with Mobius."
*5 days before the encounter*
It has been 2 months since the defeat of Hades: The Lord of the Underworld. Life was slowly but surely going back to normal, and Pit and Palutena were out exploring the worlds of their fellow Smash Bros. competitors. "Where to now, Lady Palutena?" Asked Pit. "Today, we're going down to Mobius." Palutena explained. Pit and Sonic don't know that much about each other. But they still get along pretty well and form a great team when necessary. Pit is excited to visit the blue hedgehog's planet. "So we're going to see Sonic? That's great, Lady Palutena!"
However, it's not as it seems, as Palutena can sense Mobius is in danger. And warns Pit. "This is no vacation, Pit. I fear that Sonic and his friends have gotten themselves in a pretty bad situation and I fear that it's too big for them to handle alone." This confused Pit, as he knew Sonic would be able to use the mystical gems known as the Chaos Emeralds to turn Super and save the day. "You mean Sonic can't go all Super Sonic and stop Eggman like he usually does?"
"I wish it were that easy this time, but I cannot stand by and watch this happen. We need to leave now!" Palutena didn't want to waste anymore time and insisted on helping Sonic before it would be too late.
Without questioning it any further, Pit agrees to help, "Yes, Lady Palutena!" And they set themselves for a course for Mobius. Sonic's world.
*Meanwhile in another dimension at the exact same time*
*Ponyville*
Lord Tirek had been defeated just 2 months ago, and everything was going back to normal. Twilight grieved about her old home: "The Golden Oaks Library" being burnt to ashes every so often. With Spike usually being the one to comfort her. Twilight was now the Princess of Friendship, and it did take a while for everypony to get used to the big castle. Twilight felt great having her own castle, as she felt like she had made a huge step in her role as a princess, and wishes to continue doing what Princess Celestia would like to see of her. Becoming a great ruler of Equestria, and to be the Princess of Friendship. Of course, her friends were always at her side through all times. And it made their friendship grow immensely. Many of the ponies thank Twilight and her friends greatly for being able to stop Tirek and saving each and everyone of their lives. Twilight wasn't one for pride, but appreciated the thank yous and gift cards.
It was just a regular day today. Twilight had her royal duties all finished for now, and simply wanted to spend time with her friends. "So what's on the agenda today, Twilight?" Spike asked. Twilight's number one assistant.
Twilight wanted nothing more but to have a simple get-together with her friends and said to Spike: "Well, Spike, today I figured we'd all just head down to Sugar Cube Corner. Pinkie Pie said she's got something planned for us."
Knowing Pinkie all to well at this point, Spike was almost certain that Pinkie wanted to throw another party. "Probably another party I'm guessing--*burp* It's a letter from Princess Celestia!"
Twilight wastes no time in reading her mentor's letter. "We have to tell everypony about this right away!" Without explaining the situation, confusing Spike immensely. "What is it?" He hadn't a clue what was going on at that moment in time. "I'll explain on the way!" Twilight told Spike, and they both exited the castle, and made their way to Sugarcube Corner.
*at Sugar Cube Corner*
Pinkie Pie was super excited to see her friends and upon Twilight's arrival, wasted no time in greeting her. "Hi, Twilight!" Even though Twilight wanted to use this time to have fun with her friends, she knew that they had to hold this party get together for another time. "Pinkie, has everypony else shown up, yet?" Being the hyperactive party pony Pinkie is, she bounced around and told Twilight: "Nope, so far it's just you me and Spike."
Twilight knew that she needed to inform Pinkie of the news so wasted no more time in doing so. "Well I'm afraid this party's going to have to wait. Princess Celestia sent me a letter telling us to meet her in Canterlot right away! It's urgent! Find, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Applejack and Rarity and let them know!!
Pinkie was really bummed out about not being able to party it out with her friends. But she didn't let it get to her for very long. "Okey-dokey-lokey!" She didn't waste a single second more, and rushed out the doors of Sugarcube Corner, ready to look for the rest of her friends. "I better find the others fast!" Pinkie was walking around Ponyville, searching for her friends, when she saw a rainbow tail on the edge of a cloud. "Oh isn't that Rainbow Dash? Hi Dashie!"
Rainbow Dash had gotten a good enough rest so she didn't mind too much in getting awoken by the party pony. "Pinkie Pie? What are you doing today?"
To this, Pinkie Pie insantly spouted out everything incredibly fast. "I'm trying to gather up our friends because Twilight got a urgent message from Princess Celestia. We all need to be at Canterlot immediately. I hope Queen Chrysalis or King Sombra hasn't returned. That would be awful! They were such big meanie pants! Do you remember how Chrysalis tried to ruin Shining Armour and Cadence's wedding? Or how Sombra enslaved all the ponies of the Crystal Empire? I can't imagine what life could've been like for th-hmff!"
Rainbow Dash covered Pinkie's mouth before she could go on longer. Although Pinkie's rambles do tend to get on the blue pegasus' nerves sometimes, she does still find them to be a tad amusing. "I don't think it will be too bad. I mean, we only just defeated Tirek about 2 months ago. I'm sure it's nothing too bad. Right? Anyways, I will help you gather the rest of our friends up. Last one back to Sugarcube Corner is a rotten Trixie!"
They both laughed racing each other to gather up all their friends, and they told them that they needed to all be at Canterlot to see Princess Celestia immediately.
*Later in Canterlot*
The six ponies and Spike rushed to the castle to see Princess Celestia as fast as they could. Who knows what could be in store for them.
*At the throne room*
"We got here as soon as we could, Princess Celestia. What's the big emergency?"
"Oh, this is no emergency, my faithful student. I actually have a test for you and it involves all the Elements of Harmony. You see, I recently stumbled upon one of Starswirl the Bearded's ancient tomes and found an interesting spell that can't be done without the elements."
Rainbow Dash was very intrigued about this. "Well, what is it?"
Fluttershy was slightly afraid of what the spell may do to them. "I hope it doesn't hurt."
"This is a teleportation spell, but not just any teleportation spell. This spell has the ability to allow the user to travel through different dimensions."
"Ooooh! Sounds fun!" It isn't unusual for Pinkie to be excited about something like this. It's hard to get her not excited about something.
"Ah don't know what that is but ah agree with Pinkie."
Suddenly, Twilight had a recollection of a book she once read regarding the multiverse. "I remember reading something like this. It was believed that there are multiple worlds across the one we live in."
This instantly grabbed Pinkie Pie's attention. "You mean kinda like that magic mirror?"
"Yes, exactly. The multiverse theory has always been an interesting topic. Somewhere there could be a dimension like this one, but with small changes."
"And today, I have tasked you with this important test. This is a very powerful spell, so it takes all the elements to power it.
"Oh, I do hope we go to a world filled with mountains of jewelery! That would be divine!"
Applejack just simply shook her head to this.
*Back in the Nintendoverse*
"Oh no, this is worse than I thought..." Palutena and Pit have arrived on Mobius, and Eggman's base was dead ahead with many different robots and death traps all over the place.
"Looks like another Sonic vs. Eggman battle to me, Lady Palutena." Pit wasn't too afraid that anything bad was going to happen at the moment. But he decides to help out just in case.
"I can see Eggman's base up ahead. Let's get a closer look."
"Yes, Lady Palutena."
As soon as he says that, a blue blur passes right by them.
"I think that was Sonic." Pit was pretty positive it was Sonic. At this point he was well aware of the Hedgehog's super speed. And he recognized his blur instantly.
"Let's see if we can be of assistance."
Sonic ran back to them as soon as he saw Pit. "Oh, hey Pit. Long time no see! *whistles* Who's your lady friend?"
"I am Palutena, Goddess of Light. Me and Pit came here because we couldn't help but notice your little problem."
Sonic was slightly puzzled and began scratching his forehead. "What, this? It's just Egghead trying to take over the world as usual. Nothing too big, right? I can handle it!"
"Actually, that's why we're here. Your enemy has somehow gotten hold of the Chaos Emeralds and plans to use them for a doomsday weapon."
Suddenly Shadow, the "Ultimate Life Form" appears. "Hmph! An amateur attempt if you ask me."
"I didn't know Sonic had a mirror clone too."
"Actually, this is Shadow."
"The Ultimate Life Form, Shadow the Hedgehog! The only reason I'm here is because this doomsday weapon has something to do with Maria."
Pit, nor Palutena didn't know who Maria was, so they were immensely confused by his words. "Who's Maria?" Pit raised an eyebrow.
Not wanting to drag on a long backstory, Sonic just shrugs it off. "Long story. Let's just say she's a friend Shadow knew from a long time ago and leave it at that."
This puzzled Palutena slightly. Wondering why he thought Eggman's plans were to do with his old friend on the ARK. "What makes you think this has to do with her?"
"Dr. Eggman has stumbled upon old blueprints from his grandfather, Gerald Robotnik. Who was also my creator. And he plans on using them for a device meant to change the world for the better."
"In Eggman's case, that's no good. And his intentions is to create a world infested by robotisized animals, and build his "Eggman Empire and his dream world Eggmanland." "
"And you think this has something to do with your friend?"
"I'm certain! I can feel it."
"As usual, I'm just here to put a stop to Egghead's plans. Since you guys are here, wanna help?"
Shadow was in no mood for this and crossed his arms, frowning. "We don't need their help."
"Palutena said that this was a pretty big catastrophe. If a goddess shows up, you know this is serious! We're gonna need all the help we can get!"
Shadow reluctantly let them tag along. "*groan* Fine. Just stay out of my way!"
Pit was slightly taken aback by Shadow's attitude. "Wow, he was...nice."
"Remind you of anyone, Pit?"
"Alright, miss "Goddess of Light" if you're really a goddess, why can't you just use your powers and just get rid of the device?"
"That's out of my control."
"Of course it is."
"Hold on there Shadow ol' buddy! They just want to help. No need to act rude."
"...Whatever."
Pit saw how similar Shadow was to Dark Pit. "I'm starting to think Shadow and Pitoo would get along...probably."
"Enough wasting time, let's get this over with!"
*After Infiltrating Eggman’s base*
"Ohohohohohoho! Well well, if it isn't Sonic! Long time no see! And you brought Shadow and...actually, who are they?"
"I'm Pit, servant to the Goddess of Light!"
"And I'm Lady Palutena, the Goddess of Light."
"I can't say I've seen you around here before. But enough introduction! As you can see, my doomsday device is almost complete. All the Chaos Emeralds are in place and soon my plans for world conquest will finally come true after all these years! With this device, I will reform the world in my image. And that image is a Robot Empire!! And you can't use Super Sonic to stop me this time, so you might as well just give up!"
Sonic didn't stand for none of this, and he taunted Eggman with his signature grin. "Ha! In your dreams, Eggman!"
"That can be arranged! Doomsday device, POWER ON! GET A LOAD OF THIS SONIC! OH HO HO HO HO HO!"
*Back in Canterlot*
All of the Mane Six were gathered around in a tiny circle with Twilight in the middle, getting ready to perform the newly discovered teleportation spell. "Is everypony ready?"
Pinkie bounced with glee. "Yep!"
Fluttershy quietly agreed. "Yes."
Applejack was ready for a new challenge. "You betcha!"
Rainbow Dash couldn't be more excited to visit new worlds. "Aw yeah!"
And Rarity was just as eager as the rest of them. "Absolutely."
"Well, here goes."
The elements begin to power themselves up.
*Back on Mobius*
"Lady Palutena, what do we do?"
"I think I can offer Sonic and Shadow some of my power to help stop this device from firing. It's a longshot, but we should try anyway."
"Shadow can use Chaos Control to effect the device so it doesn't work the way Eggman hopes."
"Then I'll use Heavenly Light to give us strength to destroy the device." Palutena told the group.
"I'll use Chaos Control and you can just stay the hell out of my way!"
"Chaos CONTROL!"
"Heavenly Light!"
Shadow started to become paranoid at what Palutena was trying to perform. "What are you doing? Do you have any idea what could happen?!"
An earthquake starts to rise from the ground.
*In Canterlot*
Something was going horribly wrong, and the spell had started going way out of whack.
"What's happening to us?"
Celestia frantically said: "Something's wrong! Stop the spell, now!"
"I can't, it's too powerful!"
A bright light is seen, blinding all the ponies and covering all of Equestria. This is quickly forming a dimensional rift.
*Back on Mobius*
"My machine! The Chaos Emeralds! They're both gone! Grr! I don't know what you just did, but you're going to pay for this!" Eggman proceeds to run away as fast as his legs could carry him.
Palutena was confused as to why Sonic or Shadow isn't chasing after the Doctor. "Shouldn't we catch him?"
"Nah, we won!" Sonic gave a thumbs up.
"All right!" Pit was overjoyed and fist pumped in the air.
"I guess I should be thankful...for now. But next time, don't ever pull off a crazy stunt like that again!"
"I guess we should head back."
"I'm on it. We'll see you around in the battlefield, Sonic!" Palutena tries using her warp to get her and Pit back to Skyworld, but it doesn't seem to be working. "Huh? That's odd. I can't seem to warp us back to Skyworld."
"I think the Heavenly Light and Chaos Control combo did a number on us."
"You're probably right. I guess since we're here, Sonic and Shadow could show us around."
"Actually, you can do that Sonic. I'm leaving."
"Where are you goin'?"
"Anywhere but here."
Shadow began skating off with his rocket shoes off into the distance.
As Pit walks outside of the base though, he notices something very strange off into the distance. "Uhh, guys, I think you should take a look at this."
