His World
After we got back, I had some night time duty. There was a scheduled shower that night. As I moved the clouds into position, I saw Sonic lying on the roof of the library. I flew down onto the tree.
“Sonic, are you sure you don’t want to sleep indoors?” I asked Sonic. “There’s rain scheduled for tonight.”
“Where would I stay?” Sonic sat up. “I don’t wanna mooch off you girls, you’ve done enough to help me. The only money I’d have for a hotel is rings!”
“Rings?”
Sonic reached into his quills and pulled out a ring. It was about 3 inches wide and golden.
“I don’t suppose these aren’t worth much here.” He let me hold the ring. It absorbed into me.
“Ahh! What happened?!” I panicked.
“Calm down, you can call it out whenever you want.” He said. “But I’d keep it; it’ll keep you safe when you would normally get seriously hurt.”
“Why didn’t you give us these earlier?”
“Honestly, they slipped my mind.”
“Well back to the rain issue, I guess I could punch a hole in the clouds so it won’t rain on you.”
“You can do that?”
“Yeah, I may get in a bit of trouble with the rest of the weather team, but I’m sure they’ll understand. Besides I’m in charge anyway.”
“Thanks!” Sonic lay down with his hands behind his head.
I flew up and removed the dark clouds from the area around Twilight’s home. I looked down at Sonic, who stuck up the left most finger on his right hand. I flew down to him.
“What’s that you’re doing with your hand?” I stared at the gesture.
“It’s called a thumbs up, it means thanks, good job, yes, that kinda thing.” He explained.
“Oh.” I looked at the stars. “You know Sonic, the more you mention your world, and the cooler it sounds. I’m actually kind of happy that our world will combine.”
“Thanks!” His gaze turned towards the stars. “Man, have I got some stories.”
“I can only imagine.”
“If you want I could just tell you one.”
“Really, aren’t you tired?”
“No.” He scooted over a bit giving me space to lie down. “What do you want to hear about? The time I saved Station Square from the god of destruction, the time when Shadow and I saved the world from being crashed into by the ark, or…”
“I wanted to know what happened before you got here to be honest.” I cut him off. Sonic silently stared into the stars. “But saving that station place sounds awesome too.”
“No Rainbow, it’s okay, I’ll tell you what happened.” His voice was somber.
…………………
It was a normal summer day; the sun was shining, wind was slow, and Eggman had a plan brewing. Tails and I were going off to stop him and we ran in to some friends along the way. Amy followed as usual. Eggman took the master emerald so Knuckles was on his way as well. Amy’s a pink hedgehog but her quills go down not out like mine. Knuckles is a red echidna. Shadow, a black hedgehog with red streaks in his quills, was on a government mission in the area. He decided to help us since he wrapped whatever he was doing up .
We ran into; eggpawns, traps, the usual. Then we stormed his base in the Mystic Ruins, and things went downhill from there. We were blind sighted by a replica of e102-γ, one of Eggman’s robots that went rogue. I managed to come out okay, but Amy got a bit messed up. We pushed on though, Tails lending Amy some rings.
Eventually, we were surrounded by robots that were bigger than usual. They looked like giant, silver eggpawns with war hammers. Knuckles tried to punch them, no effect. Amy swung her hammer, not even a dent. Tails swung his tails, nothing happened. Shadow and I tried to homing attack it, no luck either, we bounced off. Then tails and I locked hands and began spinning in place. We sped toward them, still rolling in a giant ball of destruction. That did the trick but we were all pretty beat up.
“Maybe we should go back.” Knuckles suggested.
“Come on knuckles,” I denied. “We’re almost to Eggman.”
“Okay I guess you’re right.” I heard the worry in his voice.
We should have turned back when we had the chance, but I was too stubborn. When we got to Eggman he was ready for us. Oh man was he ready for us. He managed to knock out my friends out and capture me. I tried to use the chaos emeralds, but Eggman used the master emerald to blast me with chaos energy. Next thing I knew I was here in Ponyville.
…………………
I let what he told me sink in. Man he did mess up. Thanks to his arrogance all of Equestria and Mobius were in danger. Still Sonic didn’t do it on purpose, and I would probably make the same mistake. Besides even if I was mad, which I wasn’t, he was our only hope. Besides, he was a friend in need and I always help my friends.
“Come on Sonic it’s not your fault.” I tried to comfort.
“Yes it is.” He said in a melancholy tone. “If I wasn’t so over confident maybe we wouldn’t be in this mess.”
A gloomy silence fell over us for a little while.
“But on the bright side,” Sonic broke the silence. “If this never happened, I never would have met you guys.”
“Yeah!” I lifted from the tree. “Well good night.”
“Night.” Sonic responded.
‘Don’t worry Sonic, we’ll find the other three emeralds.’ I thought as I arrived home.
