//------------------------------// // The Rescue Begins // Story: League of Bronies // by darkironpony //------------------------------// Author's Note: Sorry if this chapter was a little slow and not enough action happened. Also sorry if it feels a little rushed. [In Ponyville the next day.] "That is the plan," Shadic said finishing his explaination. "Really?" I asked not comprehending what he was selling. "You want us to go into a place only you know well, fight an army of robots, and save a friend of yours?" Adven asked raising a brow. "That is right," Shadic said with a smile. "Ok just asking," Adven replied quickly returning the smile. "Um..what happened to the giant robot?" Shadow Breeze spoke up startling me. "Well, after I woke up I flew it to the cave where that dragon was in the show in that one episode," I explained happily. "You mean Dragonshy?" Shadow asked softly. "Eeyup," I said mimicking Big Mac. [Ha! Beat that Big Mac!] "Ok," Shadow said letting the matter drop. "But how are we going to go with you to your other world Shadic?" Shadow asked turning his attention to the pegasushog of the group. Shadic waved a hoof," Easy,just watch." He transformed into his pegasushog self. I wonder when he regained that ability. He then waved his arms and suddenly a portal stood in front of us. "After you guys," he said with an exhuasted grin," but I got to warn you the place is a mess." "Uh...probably we should tell the girls and.." Shadow began before I dragged him through the portal. "You are going to another dimensional and you are going to like it mister," I mock scolded him. "And make sure to eat all your veggies," Adven added with a chuckle.. Shadow sighed and we proceeded through the portal. "Wait up!" I heard a unfamiliar voice yell as a dark blue stallion followed us into the portal. "Who are you?" I asked not recognizing the blue stallion. He was an earth pony and was wearing saddlebags that covered his cutie mark. "Name is Golden Horseshoes nice to meet you," he said offering his hoof to me which I accepted quickly. "I overheard you guys talking and well I owe Adven one so I am coming along." "Fine but if you get hurt don't cry to me," Shadic said focusing on the task at hoof. "You can cry to Adven," I joked poking Adven. [In The Darkness.] "Eggman," Infinite said staring blankly at the human. "I believe your boss has something for me," Eggman replied putting his hand out. Infinite was about to say something when another voice boomed," Yes I do." Eggman looked towards the origin of the voice but saw only shadows. "Well what is it?!" Eggman asked impatiently. Infinite was about to jump him and make him apologize to his master but refrained to do so. The voice laughed. "I believe you know this thing very well," finished the voice as a sack emerged and floated down into the evil doctor's hands. "A chaos emerald?! But how did you get this?! You can only get this in my world!" Eggman said shocked. Again the voice laughed," We have our own resources Eggman besides I believe that is the last part you needed to complete your greatest creation yet." Eggman speechless, nodded and left to return to his dimension. When he was back in his world he started to break into laughter. "The fool! He just gave me the tool I will use to overthrow him then both my world and his will be mine!" laughed the doctor as he entered a portal to return to his home. Back in the Darkness Infinite spoke with his master. "You do know he will betray us, right?" Infinite asked his master. "I count on it my apprentice," the voice answered back once again laughing. [You know what they say third time is the charm.] [Back with Shadic's group.] "And that is how I think equestria was made," I said finishing my story. "Oatmeal? What are you crazy?" Adven asked confused. "This place feels..cold," Shadow said shivering. Shadic nodded. "It used to be so warm and now this." "What exactly happened?" asked Golden Horseshoes. [Screw it I now dub him Goldie.] Shadic went on to inform Goldie with all the events leading up to this point. "And so I am going to rescue Sonic and kick Eggman's flank all over again," Shadic growled angrily. "You mean weeeeeeee!" I said in a sing song voice. "Please, don't sing," Shadow begged me. "Fine," I replied in the same sing song voice. "Um..I mean..fine," I said after clearing my throat. I heard laughing behind me and found Goldie chuckling. "Wow, you guys are kind of crazy." "Well, here you go, get a good long look now because after this moment we are going to start looking for Eggman," Shadic said with an authoritative voice. [He sounded kind of like a seargeant. I almost saluted him.] We all turned around and were surprised at what we saw. "Where exactly are we anyway Shadic? I mean like in what zone or area or whatever in Sonic's world I mean," I said confused. "I have never seen an area like this before in any Sonic games I have played." Shadic's face became pained with grief. "It is.....Green Hill." I looked at the city before me. On either side of me were tall skyscrapers reaching twenty to fifty feet in the air. "Why is it called Green Hill? I only see skyscrapers," Adven said as confused as me. "It was once a forest area but now Eggman has done something and now it is just cold steel," Shadic said tearing up a bit at what he said. I placed a hoof on his shoulder. "Don't worry we are going to kick Eggman's flank and save your friends like you said. Besides, who are you again?" I asked playing dumb. Shadic grinned," I am Shadic the pegasushog, part pegasus, part hedgehog, all hero!" "And you are going to do what?!" I said like a drill seargeant. "Kick Eggman's flank and save the day like the hero I am," Shadic said raising a valiant hoof in the arm for emphasize. "Shadic is that you?!" I heard a gruff voice say. I turned around to find a red something. It had two gloved hands with spikes on the ends. It was covered in bruised and was holding one arm with the other. "Knuckles! What happened?!" Shadic said rushing to save the red thing from falling to the ground. Silence ruled until the hairs on the back of my head [No not my mane hair!] stood on end. "Guys! I think we have a problem!" I heard Goldie yell terrified. I turned back to find we were surrounded by robots. "Hey guys ready for a crash course in flank kicking?" Shadic asked with a smirk. "Oh," I pretended to search for something," I seem to have forgotten my number two pencil." I have always hated classes.
