//------------------------------// // Bringing The Band Back! // Story: My Little Pony: Sonic Gen. Underground // by Jake Witt //------------------------------// As the music ended, little Sonic put away his magic guitar and bowed as Twilight and Tails looked to each other and older Sonic fell asleep. Pinkie on the other hoof was cheering her butt off with Discord clapping slowly. "Did he really sleep through that?" Sonia asked the PO'd Manic. "Maybe he thinks he's too good?" Classic Sonic tried to reply, but lowered his head as nothing left his mouth besides silent air. Tails nudged Sonic awake who started clapping, "Yeah, that was... uh... Great! How about I try something to update your genre." The two hedgehogs looked at each other, "Update?" "Though I also want Pinkie and Discord to help me out," he said winking at the two that brought speakers and a CD player. "May I have our guitar, little me?" His smaller self handed the medallion, only to create a second one somehow. "Well, that's interesting. Cloning magic maybe?" Twilight asked Tails while taking notes. Tails rolled his eyes before saying a regrettable last words, "Are you kidding me? Magic doesn't exist!" Mission: Survive Twilight's wrath. The medallion transformed into a cherry red flying V with gold rings along the neck. "3, 2, 1, GO!" Tails's head snapped toward the makeshift stage, "I don't remember this in the original song..." "Wait, isn't that-?" Twilight was cutt off as the music continued. Manic and Sonia were blown away, it was if they were hearing the music of GODS playing! He was shredding it with no end in sight and the feeling was glorious! It was quite literally, the music of the future. Manic sat, frozen like a statue in Celestia's royal garden while Sonia soaked it in like a spa bath, the music caused Twilight to drop her notes and Tails bob his head slightly. The volume of the music attracted the local Wonderbolt private and fabulous dare devil, Rainbow Dash. "Twilight, who and what are these people?!" Rainbow asked over the music. Twilight fell out of seat from the sudden appearance of the pony, "What did you say?" Rainbow gained an idea, since her friend can't her, "You're an Egghead!" "What?" Twilight responded, then the music stopped and older Sonic was at Rainbow's face, eyes locked with anger. "What about Eggheads?!" Tails was the first to react, getting in between them. Little Sonic let out a breath he was unaware the he possessed as Sonia aimed her key-tar at the two. Manic leaned in and whispered, "When did you get a key-tar?" "I don't know, but for some reason it might be a gun." Twilight stood to defuse the situation, may Celestia protect her. dIScorD LeT iN A BreatH aNd eXCLaiMeD, "HA! She's going to need all three alicorns to save her!" Every head turned their attention to Discord and his random outburst. He twiddled his thumbs and innocently asked with a half grin, "Did I say that out load? My, how embarrassing! Where were we?" Sonic looked a Rainbow then Tails, "I don't remember. Wasn't Tails going to tell us about that devise in his hand?" Tails looked over to the 3DS in his grasp, "I was until Discord... Anyway, I made a tracker with Princess Twilight's help." "So what does it track?" Sonia asked getting closer to the blue-black devise. Tails pulled up a seat as some serious exposition was taking place, "Our friends and hopefully gems of great power called Chaos Emeralds-" "I'm already loving this story!" Discord gushed as he ate pickled lemons. "- they were guarded by a race of echidnas, long history lesson later, with all seven emeralds Sonic becomes a DBZ knock off." "Huh. I never thought of you watching anime," Sonic said, rocking on a nearby stool. "It was the only thing Chris was useful for besides being rich." Twilight tilted her head in confusion, "What is a 'Chris'?" "Chris Thorndike. He is a human boy is seems to cause destruction in his wake. We were stranded in his world for... a year? Along the lines on that. He was a whiny little kid that wouldn't let Sonic go, even if our world and his was going to create a time lock!" Tails's head met the ceiling as he realized he was flying in his anger. "That's new..." Spike shrugged, "Probably corresponds to all flying nerds?" Discord anchored Tails to the ground, "Anyway! Enough chit-chat. Have any of you noticed the white limbo outside?" The white limbo grew emmencly, stretching from towards Canterlot to near Friendship Castle, but missing parts of the town. We were so caught up in music and he-who-must-not-be-named to notice a blank, white landscape with frozen pony bodies all over at their hooves and feet. The 3DS started a series of beeping, [Amy Rose is nearby.] "It actually works!" Manic exclaimed as the brother and sister looked at it in wonder. "Of course it works! Me and Twilight made it with two sciences and her strange electricity," Tails bragged. "Now, let's see if this will work like last time, but how Sonic remembers it." "Sweet! Now to run like there's no tomarrow, or there won't be a tommarow for this part of horse land!"Sonic almost ran off until little him blocked his launched and pointed to their siblings, "Um.. sure, but does anyone have a wagon? I'm pretty sure my family want a bit of the action, right?" "You know it, bro!" Manic shouted with a thumb up. Dash turned her attention to the five nonponies, "What about us?" "Rainbow Dash! Check us out!" a shrill voice call out, followed by a louder "CUTIEMARK CRUSADER STUNT TEAM, YAY!!!" screaming trouble. Three tiny ponies, an orange pegasus on a blue scooter, a normal yellow one with about a dozen helmets on her head, and a white unicorn wearing a costume that shouts... whatever country has red, blue, and white stars. They push off, going down the biggest ramp we've ever seen (unless you went to Eggman Land with free tickets), probably going to die. Sonic turned to his friend, "Tails! Carry me!" As they did the usual air routine, Tails made a comment while gaining speed, "Did you lose weight?" "No, I trained with one of those Kai guys. Double time, Tails!" Just then a colorful blur raced past them as Rainbow Dash caught the fillies and let the scooter explode below her. Sorry what? What the heck did those children have on that scooter, C4?! Luckily, the wagon survived, stopping at Sonia's feet. The group watch as Sonic returned in a walk of shame as Rainbow trotted towards them with a cocky smirk. "Well, you tried. Sonic was it?" Rainbow puffed her chest and continued, "But you could never get to them in time, unlike me!" Sonic, looking a mix of bumed and ticked asked, "And why is that?" "Because, I'm Rainbow Dash the fastest thing alive!" Both Sonics looked pissed while everyone familiar with the blue dudes took a step back away from them. Manic looked to Twilight Sparkle, "Now she's done it!" Hearing that, a pink platform lifted the scared group off the ground. Nobody knew what was said or where they ran/flew off to, but it looked like trouble. Tails was the first to break the silence, "Well, want to go ahead and find Amy?" Sonia decided to ask, "Who's Amy?" "This'll take a while." Twilight guided the group into the limbo, "Well, we do have time at the moment..."
