//------------------------------// // Where Am I? (Power Insidious: Part 1 of 4) // Story: Sonic Equestria Universe // by TheRealTwilyFan //------------------------------// The sun rises on a brightly colorful landscape while the first 50 seconds of “Morning Mood” plays. Some of the little animals come out to the grassy area to frolic, play around or shower at the nearby waterfall. It’s a really cute and peaceful moment, isn’t it? Nope… after the first 50 seconds of the theme playing in the background, their peaceful moment is rudely interrupted when a large flying aircraft comes speeding across the plains and is being chased by a tall, blue hedgehog with red sneakers who is surprisingly super-fast as his super speed leaves behind a blue streak. The blue blur jumps across many ditches and rocks along his way to catch up with the evil scientist piloting his aircraft. “Can’t lose me this time, Eggman!” He called out to him. “I told you not to call me that!” The scientist yelled back. “My name is Dr. Robotnik! You do that on purpose!” “Do what, Ro-butt-nik?” The blue hedgehog wisecracked. The blue hedgehog chases the scientist (Dr. Eggman) out of the grassy plains and into a large gorge. Eggman takes this as an opportunity and presses a button on his dashboard, releasing six missiles out of the Egg Mobile that impacts the cliffsides. The blue blur takes notice as the missiles caused a rocky avalanche. “Uh-oh!” “Try and dodge that.” The rocks come tumbling into the hedgehog’s path and it’s here that he shows off his agility. He jumps and vaults over a large rock and then bounces off three rocks with his spin ball attack. He then slides under one boulder than would’ve otherwise crushed him and does a somersault in the air as he bounces off three more rocks, both leading to them being shattered. With that out of the way, Sonic is back on track with Eggman expressing his disgust. “Impossible!” “Looks like your stones didn’t break my bones, Doc. You got nowhere to hide now!” He said. Eggman then looks in front of him to see that he’s coming across a rather rickety bridge over a ravine. “Oh, Sonic.” He looks back at him. “I hope you remembered how to skydive.” The blue hedgehog (Sonic) stares at him with a very confused look. And as soon as Eggman flies over the bridge he starts firing his lasers onto the bridge’s ropes that holds it together. Sonic speeds onto the bridge but just as he runs across it, it immediately breaks apart, and he starts to fall to his apparent doom. “WAAAAOOOH!!” Sonic screamed as he falls leaving Eggman to give him a farewell gesture from above. “Finally. That’s the last time I’ll ever see that smug face of his.” Eggman was about to turn in but then he hears a plane engine running. Eggman realizes this and groans in disgust. “Of course.” A large blue plane flies right out of the ravine with Sonic holding onto the wing and a 8 year old yellow fox piloting the plane. “Glad you could make it, Tails.” Sonic said. “No problem. Let’s get him!” Tails said while Sonic nods. “I won’t go down that easy!” Eggman said. He then summons his Buzz Bomber squadron with a press of a button, whom come flying out of metal holes that were planted on the ground. “Look out, little bro! He’s bringing out the Buzz Bomber squadron!” Sonic warned him. “Not to worry. This time I came prepared.” Said Tails as he continues to fly after Eggman. A few of the badniks shoot their blasters at the Tornado but with Tails’ exceptional flying skills he manages to dodge them. They charge up to the plane but Sonic jumps off the wing to homing attack three of them out of the sky. Sonic lands on a Buzz Bomber, clings onto his blaster turret and spins around it wildly until it explodes. Tails fires off three blast shots at a group of badniks that destroys them. The three are now entering a steeper path of the gorge, filled with pillars, rocks with spikes and Turtloid badniks who come flying in. “Shoot that fox and hedgehog out of the sky!” Eggman ordered the badniks. The Buzz Bombers shoot one of their own because Sonic was taunting them with a silly face on top of one, and he bounces towards the rocky pillars which start collapsing down as he touches them. He starts bouncing from pillar to pillar in his spin ball form as the Turtloids chase after him shooting more laser bullets at him. One of the pillars crushes one of the Turtloids. Tails maneuvers his plane past the pillars by tilting side to side to avoid impact. The Buzz Bombers however are still behind him as he turns his head to check and gasps. They shoot at him while he tries to get towards higher ground. He flies up to Sonic’s level as they are about to reach the end of the field of pillars. “Sonic!” Tails called out to him right as a Buzz Bomber flies to the left side of his plane and prepares to blast him. Sonic catches wind of this and spin dashes across the Tornado’s wings and decimates the Buzz Bomber before it could do anything. Sonic lands back on the wing of the Tornado. “Thanks, Sonic.” “If I wasn’t there on time you would've been blown out of the air!” Sonic scolded him. Tails noticed the tone of his voice of what he said. “C’mon, Tails! Nab that Egghead!” Sonic told him while Tails looks a bit distracted of what Sonic said. “Tails!” Sonic snaps him back to his senses. “What are you waiting for?” “Nothing. Sorry.” Tails gets back to the action. “Where’s he going?” “Not sure. But I don’t have time to figure it out. Whatever plan he’s hatching next is gonna end up in the dumps again.” Sonic said. “SONIC! The Turtloids are onto us!” Tails look behind and the two spot the Turtloid badniks speeding towards them. “This is all mine!” Sonic leaps off the wing and kicks the small Turtloid off the bigger Turtloid with the falling Turtloid raising his white flag. Sonic takes control of the badnik and starts blasting all the others out of the sky. A Buzz Bomber comes up to Sonic from behind and aims his turret at him. Sonic notices this and jumps off the badnik to another as the Buzz Bomber shredded it to pieces. Sonic pilots another Turtloid and rams it into the Buzz Bomber attacking him. Sonic continues to shoot the Buzz Bombers out of the sky as they keep coming. “I can do this all day! C’mon, Eggman. Is that all you got?” Tails’ sights is directly at Eggman and has him in his target sight. “End of the road, Eggman!” "I wouldn't be so sure of that, fox boy!" Eggman grins at Tails while a Buzz Bomber is floating right behind him, not doing anything. Sonic sees this and gasps. “Tails! Behind you!” Tails looks behind while Sonic tries to blast the Buzz Bomber away from him. But, unfortunately, it flies away and the blast hits the Tornado’s wing. Tails screams as his wing is damaged and is losing altitude. Sonic’s misfire was a ploy only Eggman could accomplish and he gloats about it. “NOOO!” Sonic panicked about this. “Hahahaha! Looks like I’ve got the upper hand after all! Sonic just killed his own best friend!” Eggman laughed. "Haaaaaa! Hahaha!" "Tails! No!" Sonic jumps off the Turtloid and tries to save his friend from falling out of the sky but because Sonic is too distracted in saving his friend, the remaining Buzz Bomber fires a laser that strikes him right in the side of his waist and cries in pain. “Aaaaack!” Both Sonic and the Tornado begin to fall, but not before Tails fires his homing shot at Eggman’s Egg Mobile causing it to set aflame. “Oof! No! What are you doing?!” So now both the Egg Mobile, the Tornado and Sonic fall right out of the sky and into the open ocean. Eggman tries everything to start his engine again while Tails tries to eject out of his plane, none of which are of any use. Sonic however, falls unconsciously into the water while Tails screams for him. “SONIC!” Sonic impacts the water and sinks down into the abyss. As Sonic unconsciously drifts down in the sea, all he could hear is the Tornado exploding and a light shines. Sonic slowly opens his eyes as a void of light surrounds him and becomes magically teleported out of the ocean and into a strange realm. A portal then appears underneath Sonic and sucks him in. Sonic falls deep within the portal as memories come playing into Sonic’s head. From his old days to meeting new friends and to dealing with a giant water monster. Just then, a blood red horn sinks down to Sonic's level and infuses itself into Sonic’s mind and that makes him nudge a bit. The end of the portal opens up and Sonic falls right in. Sonic the Hedgehog & My Little Pony Sonic Equestria Universe Power Insidious (Part 1): Where Am I? Everything was black in Sonic's vision. But as soon as he opens his eyes, he looks around to see a flowery grassy field with an adorable bunny coming up to him and licks his face. This startles him and the bunny scurries off. Sonic comes to his senses and starts observing his environment. "Wha?" He sees lots of trees in the distance and a hill. "How did I end up here?" Sonic starts getting off the ground but surprisingly falls back down due to the pain he endured from the Buzz Bomber's sneak attack. "That blast did a number on me." He feels the side of his waist and it hurts real bad. Sonic thinks he can just simply walk it off and he starts getting up again. He then starts calling out for Tails. "Tails?" He looks in the other direction. "Tails!" Sadly, Tails isn't around here and Sonic sighs in disbelief. "Okay. Not to worry. I'm sure he's fine. I just need to... argh!" As he moves his leg, his injury strains him. "Just need to... find him... and track down Eggman... and stop whatever he's concocting." Sonic starts walking while straining. "This is getting lame." Sonic tries using his speed to run up the hill but apparently he sprains his ankle. "Agh!" He moaned as he faceplants and loses momentum, making him slide back down to the bottom. Sonic gets up again and sighs again. "So it's come to this, huh?" Sonic must now walk his way to civilization... without running! Indiana Jones like music plays in the background as Sonic traverses the grassy landscape as looks at the many things in his area. He spots a bunch of beavers bickering about their built dam along the river. He walks underneath a bee's nest. He walks over and slips off on a log. Sonic then starts to sweat from the sun's heat whilst continuing to walk. Sonic then stops walking to realize that he still hasn't made it up the hill yet and the music stops. "OH COME ON!" Sonic threw his hands out in frustration. "Why does every hill I have to walk on have to rely on physics?" Sonic pauses for a moment and realizes he still has the spin dash. He charges up his spinball and soars across the hill but in the process causes more pain to inflict on his wound as he face plants on top of the hill. At least Sonic has made it up the hill and proceeds on walking. "This is gonna take forever." Complained Sonic. Sonic continues to walk through the dangers of the Everfree Forest. Sonic ducks under to let the fruit bats fly by above him. Sonic then encounters an angry manticore who roars at the sight of him. Sonic doesn't seem that all terrified and walks past him, not before pulling off a splinter that got stuck in the manticore's paw that made him go wild, and Sonic did that effortlessly. Sonic yawns as he's getting tired of walking by now. Sonic travels along a murky river by using a lily pad and a paddle. A Cragadile then pops out of the murky water and bites down on Sonic's paddle in half. Sonic doesn't look amused and decides to continue paddling with his arms. Sonic made it past the forest but is now keeling over boredom at this point. That and his wound is getting worse to the point where it's turned purple. And his ankle also gives out due to injuring it earlier. Sonic then falls to the ground flat on his body and feels the warm soil of the ground, thinking it's a pillow. "Maybe a little snooze will get me on my shoes." Sonic yawns as he starts to fall asleep. "That was... a bad pun..." Finally, Sonic is knocked out and is laying in the middle of the empty road. A moment later, a little white bunny comes hoping into the scene looking for something as he scratches his head. The bunny then gazes upon a giant blue hedgehog who is sleeping in the middle of the forest. The bunny decides to investigate by getting a closer look at his face. Sonic's snorts blow into his face and he coughs from the bad smell of his breath (probably chili dogs). The bunny then notices that Sonic is clutching something by his waist and tries to roll him around. His attempt to rolling him over causes the bunny to get squashed by the hedgehog's weight but manages to pull himself out and rolls him to his back. Sonic murmurs in his sleep "Knuckles... don't touch that..." while the bunny sees that the hedgehog has been wounded and needs medical assistance. The bunny runs off to get help while Sonic lays there murmuring in his sleep while also clutching his wound. "No I don't want a scarf..." Over at the lake area, it seems the Tornado has landed safely across the shore. Tails is still in his seat and wakes up dazed from the impact. "What happened?" He feels his head. "Sonic?" Tails climbs out of his plane and drops down to the sand. He looks around his surroundings, unfamiliar with this place. "What is this place? Don't think I've seen it before." Tails then spots through the trees, a couple of locals walking by. "Uh! Hey!" Tails uses his tails as propellers and flies towards them. "Excuse me! Can you tell me where...I...uhhhhhh?" Tails was about to ask them but as soon as he got a closer look at them, he becomes struck with shock. Tails was staring at two pegasus ponies as they stare back at him. "Awwww... it's a fox." Cloudchaser said as she admired Tails' cute expression. "IT CAN TALK?" Tails becomes even more shocked as he heard the pony speak. "IT CAN TALK?!" Thunderlane screamed in horror as the fox spoke. A fishermen pony appears next to them and says something in shock too. "IT'S A FROG!" He points at a frog as it croaks. At this point, Cloudchaser and Thunderlane flee by flying away while they scream and it shocks Tails even more. "They can fly too? Wait!" Tails tries to follow them by using his tails as flight. He emerges out of the trees and finds himself being stared at by a population of pastel-colored ponies, unicorns and pegasi, all while he's floating in mid-air with his two tails spinning. They give out shocked looks and even Derpy gives off a shocked expression as they stare at what they think is an unnatural mutant animal. "Uhhh... hi, everybody." Tails greets everypony in the area and in a split-second they all erupt into shrieks of terror and start cowering around the place. "W-Wait a second? What's going on?" Roseluck pops up and points at Tails. "IT'S A MONSTER!" "RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!" Bon Bon shrieked as she fled. "Monster? I'm not a monster." Tails tried to assure them but they continue to panic. "Quick! Call the Pest Control!" Berry Punch panicked. Tails lands on the ground and tries to assure them again. "Wait! Don't panic. I'm not gonna hurt you. I just want to know where I am. I mean no trouble." "Look! It's the Royal Guards!" Minuette shouted and two of Princess Celestia's Royal Guards come flying down to seek the disturbance. Tails quickly escapes by flying away from the area. He enters the woods and the Royal Guards follow him there. Tails runs past a lot of shrubs and bushes while trying to hide away from the Royal Guards. "This is not happening. This is not happening." Tails continues to think he's dreaming but it's pretty much a reality. Tails trips over a root and gets stuck. "Agh! I'm stuck!" Tails tries to get his shoe unstuck from the root but he then braces for the worse as the guards come closer to his location. Tails shuts his eyes and uttered "Sonic..." Just then, green smoke surrounds Tails and causes a fog around the guards as they approach him. After the smoke clears off, Tails just vanished, leaving the guards confused as to what they were chasing. "Well? Anything?" A pink hedgehog asked. Back on Sonic's world, The pink hedgehog, Amy Rose and her friends Cream the Rabbit and Cheese the Chao are looking for Sonic and Tails over by where they were last seen. Aided with the help of Knuckles the Echidna and his helpful friend; Relic the Pika and her robot Fixit. Amy asked Knuckles if he found anything. "I've been digging around the place for any trace of where Sonic and Tails are, but no dice." Knuckles responded. "And Doctor Eggman doesn't seem to be anywhere." Cream said. "Sorry, Amy." "Chao, chao." Cheese apologized. "I can't believe this." Amy looks down. "Sonic's... really gone?" She starts tearing up. "So is Tails?" "Don't think like that, Amy." Knuckles assured her. "I'm sure they're okay... not that I care for him." That one was under his breath. "What's that?" Heard Amy. "Nothing. I said nothing." Knuckles moves over to Relic. "Relic. Fixit. Found anything?" Relic is using a defective device to scan for anything helpful but it malfunctions when it scans on something foreign. "Aww, dash it all! What's wrong with this stupid thing?" "Relic! You've picked up on something." Fixit said. Relic looks at her scanner and sees that she has found a foreign object. "Well, I'll be. I knew I had a hunch when we came down here." Relic takes out a trowel and starts digging the object out. Knuckles and Amy gather towards her as she digs out the object. "What in the ancient echidnas is this?" "What is it?" Knuckles asked. Relic shows the object to her friends. "I don't know. But something tells me that I have a bad feeling about it." They all look at a red glowing unicorn horn as a spark of dark magic emits. Back in the pony world, Sonic starts to open his eyes and yawns while the Morning Mood music plays again. Sonic tilts his head around to see where he is. "Boy... What time is it?" "It's 1 in the afternoon." Spoke a kind, soft but cheerful voice. Sonic feels his head for a moment. "One in the afternoon? Geez. Must have overslept." "Oh yes. I found a wounded hedgehog in the wilderness and I really hope he's okay." Sonic chuckled. "Wounded hedgehog? That's funny. I'm the wounded..." Sonic realizes what she said and the record scratches. "...hedgehog?" Sonic looks down to his waist and it's all patched up, complete with a bandage wrapped and on his ankle. "Whoa!" "Are you okay?" Called out the voice. "Yeah. I'm fine." Sonic tries to stand on his feet... "I'll just be on my way..." ...but as his foot touched the ground it cracks and trips to the floor, landing in front of some critters. Sonic looked at the cute critters with confusion. "Huh?" Sonic looked around the place and discovers he's in some kind of cottage. "Hey, lady... What is this place?" He asks while the critters stare at him. "Wait! You forgot already?" Sonic seemed confused with what the 'lady' is talking about. "I thought draconequus' have a good memory." "A draco-what?" Sonic gets up and walks to the kitchen where the lady is. "Lady... Just what kind of animal do you think I..." As Sonic stepped in... his jaw drops. "Am?" What he's seeing is a yellow pony with a pink mane and tail and wings, bringing out a bag of chow from the cupboards. The pony turns around to see that the hedgehog is not hurt. "Oh thank goodness. I thought I lost you, you poor thing." "YOU CAN TALK?" Sonic is quite shocked by this. As for the pony... not so much... She gasps and yelps in fright and so do her animal friends. She conceals herself in one of her cupboards to avoid 'being eaten' by the 'mutant' hedgehog. "Hey! Wait! I didn't mean to scare you." Sonic tries walking to her but his ankle causes him to trip again. "I gotta stop doing that." Sonic pulls himself back up with one of the chairs as the pony tells him to stay away. "Please. Take whatever you want. Just don't hurt my little friends. They've done nothing wrong." "I'm not that kinda guy that hurts little animals." Sonic said as he kept his balance. "So... You're not going to eat me?" She peeped for a moment. "Eat you? What kind of exaggeration is that? C'mon. Just come out of there. I won't hurt you." The shy pony exits out of her cupboards and takes a look at the 3 ft. hedgehog tapping his feet at her. "Trust me. I don't bite." "Oh... okay." The shy pegasus walks towards him. "What did you call me by the way? A draco-een-qua-whatsit?" Sonic asked. " Oh! I'm really sorry. I must have mistook your voice for somepony I already know." "Who did you think you were talking to then?" Sonic asked. "Oh, just a friend of mine. It's really not important now." The pony examines the hedgehog even more. "Wow... I never thought I'd talk to a... umm... talking hedgehog?" She smiled nervously. "That's Sonic the Hedgehog to you, lady." "Oh that's not my name. I'm Fluttershy. It's nice to meet you... umm... Sonic... the Hedgehog?" After giving off a cute expression on her face, Sonic grasps his hands. "Right. Well! Now that we met and introduced ourselves, I should be on my way." Sonic was about to walk off but Fluttershy stops him. "But... you're hurt." She pointed out with the bandages. "Don't sweat it. It's just a scratch." Sonic takes another step and his ankle cracks again, making him trip once more. "Umm... Should I sweat it now?" Fluttershy asked with worry on her face all while Sonic groans. Somewhere in the Everfree Forest lies a mystical hut with smoke steaming out of the chimney. Tails happens to have been brought here for some reason. He looks around the place to see a lot of knick knacks and spooky stuff. "Whoa! This place is soooo... creepy. Where is everyone?" "I brought you here so no pony could see, for they might try to run and flee." Said a mystic voice. "Who said that? Who are you?" Tails asked and as he turned he sees right before him, a zebra wearing dzilla rings around her neck and left foreleg and an earring. "I am Zecora, the witch doctor. Answer only to me and you will prosper." She said in rhyme. "Why did you take me here?" Tails asked. "So you could be safe away from prying eyes, before certain events could arise." Zecora peeked through her window to make sure nopony is coming. "Wait a second? You're not afraid of me?" Tails asked. "I've been through so much, you can tell. Certain creatures like you are something I hardly dwell." "Huh?" Tails is confused. "What do you mean?" Zecora looks away. "I cannot tell you as such. For I can barely say much." "Say much of what?" Tails gets confused. "I'm sorry, but I can't understand you. You're rhyming too much. Who does that most of the time anyway?" "It's not that hard to explain in rhyme. You just need to give it time." She replied. "Can we just stop with the rhyming and make some sense?" Tails asked with a subtle glare. "What is going on here? Where am I?" Zecora gives up rhyming for one or two sentences to ask Tails some questions. "Very well. First off: Who are you?" She asked. "My name is Miles Prower, but most of my friends call me Tails." He introduced just as Zecora looks at Tails' twin tails. "You could guess why." "Do you have a family, Miles?" Zecora asked and it shocks Tails with that question. "Well... Uhhh... Why do you ask?" "How old are you?" She asked. "I'm eight." Tails said his age. "And you're here all by yourself?" "Kinda. Yeah. Why is this relevant to you?" Tails asked while he scratches his head. "The real question to be said true, is if it's relevant to you?" Zecora's question strikes Tails' nerves even more as he becomes nervous. Back in Fluttershy's Cottage, she carries the injured Sonic back on her couch. "You've got a sprained ankle. You can't walk unless it's completely healed." "Oh c'mon! You're being overprotective. My leg is perfectly-Yeeoww!" Sonic screamed mid sentence as soon as Fluttershy lays an ice bag over his sprained ankle. "Oh! Sorry. Too cold?" Asked the overprotective Fluttershy. "No! It's perfectly okay." Sonic said in a sarcastic tone as the bag lays on his ankle. "It's not everyday my leg gets a free chill." Fluttershy then flew up to Sonic and lays her hoof on his head to feel if he has a temperature. "What are you doing?" "You're not heating up, so you don't have a fever." Fluttershy confirmed. "I never intended to have one while I'm being held hostage by you." He remarked with a poker face. "Oh silly. You just need some tender loving care in order to get better throughout the day." "Oh spare me!" Sonic rolled his eyes. "Besides, I bet you're a little bit hungry after being in the forest." She guessed. And right was Fluttershy, Sonic's stomach growls. "Well, you got that right. What's on the menu?" Flutters flew to her cupboards and takes out a bag of catfood to put in a bowl. "If my knowledge of hedgehogs are correct, these are what they enjoy eating the most." Fluttershy flies back to Sonic with a bowl of catfood that he clearly has no idea of what they taste like. "I hope you enjoy it." Sonic picks up a bit of it with his fingers and tastes it. "Mm-mm! Yummy isn't it?" She asked while Sonic chewed but she suddenly becomes startled as Sonic starts spitting out the food in disgust. "YUCK!" Sonic scraps his tongue off from the taste. "WHAT THE HECK IS THIS STUFF?" "I thought hedgehogs like catfood." Thought Fluttershy to her dismay. "Catfood? No wonder. It tastes like their's a cat inside it." Sonic slaps the bowl off the table and onto the ground. "Oh goodness!" She saw what Sonic did and becomes upset. "Bad hedgehog. Where are your manners?" Sonic slaps her hoof away in disgust. "Where's your decency? You're treating me like an animal!" "But you are an animal." Retorted Flutters. "Okay! That's it! I'm leaving!" Sonic gets off the couch not before taking the ice bad off his leg and starts walking towards the door while walking past the little critters below him. "I can't take much of your 'TLC' any longer." "But you can't leave. You're still hurt." She said to him. "Yeah, well, I can manage pain. So you're gonna have to deal with it or worry about it. Either way, I don't care." Said Sonic. "But where will you go?" Asked Fluttershy. "What home will you find?" "I've got more important things to worry about than to stay around in your hospitality. So it was nice... and not nice knowing you. See ya!" Sonic exits the cottage and slams the door, causing a birdhouse to drop from the wall. Fluttershy looked onward as he left and her animal friends gather around with concerned faces. “Oh, my poor friends. I’m so sorry. I just can’t figure out his behavior.” Her bunny; Angel taps his foot in impatience, giving her a glare. “I know, Angel. But please forgive him, he must be really cranky, that’s all.” Said Fluttershy but then she hears Sonic trip again. *OOF!* This time, Sonic fell into the mud below the cottage and Fluttershy rushes out to see if he’s okay. “Oh dear! Are you okay?” “I’m fine.” Sonic gets up from the mud and climbs out. “I don’t need you to be concerned about me.” “Oh, but I really am concerned about you.” She replied. “You’re not in any condition to go outside and play.” “Play?” Scoffed Sonic. “Are you serious? Look, Butterbye-” “It’s Fluttershy.” She interrupted him. “Whatever.” He continues. “I am in perfect condition to go anywhere I want. Coz, me? I play by my own rules, and I don’t want you acting all motherly to me. I can’t waste any more time. My friend could be in danger” Fluttershy picks up on what he said. “Your… friend?” Sonic facepalms and groans. “Ugh! Forget it. I’m off.” Sonic starts walking but his wound on his waist starts to act up again and he clutches it in pain. “Ow, that hurts.” “See? You need to rest.” Told Fluttershy. “Don’t have time. Need to save my buddy.” Sonic was about to speed off but his injury and ankle causes him to trip to the ground again. “RGH! It’s no use! I can’t run fast like this? How am I gonna get anywhere if my body keeps acting up like this?” Sonic then gets an idea and turns to Fluttershy hovering in the air with her wings flapping. Sonic gets up and makes amends with her. “Okay, Clutterfry-” “Fluttershy.” She corrects him again. “Right.” Sonic continued. “I need you to do me a favor…” “Yes?” “But listen. I’m only trusting you on this because you seem to care for my well being, even if I'm sick of it.” Said Sonic. “Okay… I’m listening, Mr. Sonic.” “Take me to the nearest town from here. Do you know anyone who might help me?” Fluttershy seems to understand what he’s talking about and nods with a gleeful smile. Back in Sonic’s world, Inside the Launch Base Lab on Angel Island, Knuckles, Amy watch as Rotor, Relic and Fixit scan the red unicorn horn for any data trace they can find. Rotor uses the scanner and he is amazed by its results. “Whoa!” “What is it, Rotor?” Amy asked. “My device is picking up powerful charts on this fragment. They’re through the roof.” He said. Relic looks up at the ceiling, failing to understand the metaphor. “I don’t see anything up there.” “He means the power levels are at a high capacity on the fragment and it’s causing his device to overload, Relic.” Knuckles corrected her. “Right. I knew that.” Relic said confidently. “What does that mean, Rotor?” Asked Amy while Rotor’s device glitches and blows up in his hand. “YEOW!” Rotor drops the burning device as a steam of darkness comes flying out of it. Rotor, almost having his hand in bandages, fears the worse. “I don’t know, Amy. After scanning the properties of that object… it doesn’t belong on our world.” The gang is left in question and concern as the red horn glows and glowing green eyes appears through the dark smoke. All they could hear is an eerie but frightening laugh. To Be Continued... Off Words (Not canon with the story) Sonic finds himself in Equestria and runs into town. "Gee. Where exactly am I? I hope the locals here are reasonable." Sonic screeches his shoes to a halt when he comes across a a pale green unicorn. "Oh hi. Can you tell me where I can find my friend?" He holds his palm out. "His name's Tails and I really appreciate your help if you can tell me where he is." Sonic then begins to notice the creepy look the unicorn is giving him. Lyra continues staring at Sonic's hand, staring at the fingers and her eyes widen. "Uhh? Are you feeling okay?" Lyra then asks. "Can I have your hands?" "No." Sonic answered. Lyra continues giving him that crazy look. "Give me your hands. Give them to me now!" She demands while Sonic looks at the reader awkwardly.
