//------------------------------// // BOOM! // Story: My Little Pony: Sonic Gen. Underground // by Jake Witt //------------------------------// "How are we not dead?" a feminine voice asked. "I don't know... last thing I remember, the Squad Bots found our hideout... but how?" a young male voice replied. "And where are we?!" A closet door opens, shining light on two hedgehogs, holding on to each other. "Don't you mean 'when' are you?" "Sonic?" a yellow humanoid fox asked. He is born with two tails gaining the nickname "Tails", has been best friends / sidekick of Sonic, and has a knack for machines thus he dons orange goggles and a tool belt. A blue, also humanoid, hedgehog is hopping on the couch on two hands. He wears a brown scarf and bandages for reasons unknown and has gained many titles over the years like "blue blur", "the fastest thing alive", and is rumored to be King Aurthur... for some reason. "Yes Tails, what's up?" "What are you doing?" Tails asked, worrying for his friend's sanity. "Obviously not melting in Iblis fire, that's for sure!" Sonic hopped onto the counter in the kitchen of their beach hut home, almost acting like their friend Sticks the Badger. Somewhere else... I walked around the Castle of the Two Sister, now a museum... or it would be if the path there wasn't dangerous. I continued my trot, hoping to find what I was looking for, another magic mirror. The Crystal Empire gave me one (for reasons not involving a crush. nope.), and my castle had one in it until somepony refused to use a door and broke it! Anyway, I digress, Canterlot Castle locked theirs up so by ancient castle magic with twisted logic: there should be one here. Just as I stood at a fork in the path with two choices, it was then I heard a familiar voice. I couldn't make out whom spoke nor did I know where it came from. Turn left... Just then Amy walked inside to discover her beloved Sonic, to put it bluntly, stinks. Being his "girl friend" she has done a lot to try to get his attention: absorbing the power of an acorn ring to be close to his age, learning how to fight in order to help him, fixed her quills, and so on. She is a cute pink hedgehog in a hot pink, magenta dress who wields a giant hammer and has only needed to be rescued once... or twice... or- Let's not be full of ourselves. It has been three weeks since Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnic has finally lost and was sent to jail for his crimes, more specifically animal cruelty. Since that you'd think Sonic would be happy, but he wasn't after week two and slowly became depressed even ending his letters to his chao garden. "Sonic, get up!" Amy exclaimed as she shook the sleeping Sonic that reeked of stale chilidogs and chocolate. "Is Eggman threatening to destroy the dam, again?" he asked in a raspy whisper. "No... But Shadow is here." There was a gust of wind and she was standing outside with Knuckles, their top heavy and not-so-bright echidna friend. "So is he not playing Tennis or what?" he asked, despite the look Amy gave him. "What's a draconequus?" a girl's voice asked. Discord? Well, duh, Twilight, who else? But who is with him? "Oh, way past cool!" another voice, a rough sounding young colt, exclaimed in excitement. Who does Discord have with him and who are they?! Just then I spot a light reflecting of something out the corner of my eye: the mirror I was looking for! "Oh my god! Thank you Discord... just thank you!" an older voice, approximately male in his late teens, said with joy and held back tears. What is going on?! "Sonic you open this door right now, or I swear to the voodoo dolls under my bed I will come in there myself!!!" Sticks calmed her breathing a listened patiently. "I swear to all that rings, GO AWAY. I-I just want to sleep in peace..." Amy softly knocked on the door, beckoning Sonic to open it, "Please, why are you even doing this?! Ever since that jerk went to jail, you went from very happy to depressed. If we talk this out maybe-" The door swings open and Sonic glares at the people at his door, "C'mon in, sorry about the place is a mess..." Before closing he looks up to see something resembling a black hole in the distance, closing in on his position. "AMY! STICKS! WHERE'S TAILS?!" Sonic called to them. Shocked by his sudden reaction they ran up to see what ticked him off- Amy took a step back at the revelation before her, "Why is Time Eater here?!" Before Sticks could ask, Sonic sped towards the smoky black monster with gears adorned its body only to be smacked down just like last time, except Sonic the Hedgehog would not go down so easily this time! -Meanwhile- In the land of Equestria, all was peaceful... besides the chunk of town that turned white, colorless, and devoid of life. That wasn't going to stop Discord, lord of chaos and future fifth alicorn princess from causing chaos nor would he stand to let a shift in reality have all the fun! Next to him was a brown stallion also studying the anomaly, but not for chaotic reasons he can assure you. He took a step in the white area, despite those around him warning him not to do so. I could've saved them! I would've saved my family and friends if- if I wasn't so slow! Thought? Why am I hearing thought? Normally I'm hearing thoughts, but this is one pony's thought. I'm supposed to be the fastest thing alive and I failed them! I- I'm a failure... Failure? "Fastest thing alive" sounds like Skittles-go-so-fast blue mare, Butterfly's friend... this isn't a mare. I felt something fluffy rub against my lizard leg when I noticed: it was my tail, telling me to go somewhere. "So you still work, my fuzzy buddy? Well let's juice it!" My tail led me to the castle in the Everfree forest and through maze-like hallways only to stop at a closet. Why a closet? Ever heard of 'seven minutes in heaven'? Add a renewed ancient castle with moi and you have instant fun and crazy chaos! I then heard voices from within, nothing romantic or too interesting. "How are we not dead?" a feminine voice asked from within the small space. "I don't know... last thing I remember, the Squad Bots found our hideout... but how?" a young male voice replied. "And where are we?!" Squad Bots? Isn't that an interesting tidbit. If I know my chaos history, a Dr. Robotnic took over a continent turning animals into robot slaves. The impact was so devastating that it split that timeline into two alternate time lines, one with a queen hedgehog whores abandoning two of her children with strangers and the third with her poor brother. The other actually had class, instead of a few rebels and a discount "the Beatles" band, they had an actual fighting force led by a hot squirl princess to rebel against him! Which had its own split timeline after Snively Robotnic turned on his uncle. As I open door with some great force, a lot light shined on a pink and green hedgehog, holding on to each other. "Don't you mean at what time period are you?" I said wearing my fez, bow tie, and orange vest. "Well, Great Scott! Anthro Hedgehogs!"
