//------------------------------// // Live and Learn // Story: My Little Pony: Sonic Gen. Underground // by Jake Witt //------------------------------// Rainbow Dash narrowly avoided a few statued ponies as a song starts playing, she looks back to see the little blue hedgehog riding on a skateboard while holding a boom box over his shoulder, probably being Sonic's hype mare or something. Where is that guy any- Her thoughts were cut off a shadow overhead belonging to a blue monkey-like hedgehog on a hoverboard, wearing a brown scarf and green shades. There was a few times he would actually ride it, partially to show off. He was nimble and quick, hopping over and rolling under frozen ponies and bouncing off what used to be Everfree Forest trees. No! I will chose where we go! Rainbow raced upwards and dived towards the two hedgehogs, hearing the words 'live and learn' when her added speed sent her soaring ahead of them. Besides the blank white landscape something seemed off about the forest, there was these colorful glows that would appear and disappear as if she was a predator hunting prey. "Laser!" exclaimed a male voice, seemingly from everywhere. Just then some sort of spiky cyan thing with yellow eyes zoomed pasted me, bouncing off everything! "Eagle!" the voice boomed, turning the cyan creature into a crimson bird-like creature! I should lay off the cider for a while... It soared pretty high, but probably can't out fly me! Twilight strained a bit, but somehow had the energy to argue with as to if the ground was safe to stand on. "But what if it petrifies the wagon just like the trees?" Tails was rubbing his temples, "Rainbow started her flight with a galloping start on the white ground!" "That's because she's moving-" "No. From what evidence you claim to have against my facts, if we were to stay still so by that logic: if we move, we are fine." Sonia is whispering with Manic. Then he got towards the nerds, "WILL YOU JUST SHUDDUP?! You two have been arguing ever since we let Sonic race Rainbow Something!" He climbed into the wagon and let it roll off as Pinkie and Sonia hopped in after him, the party pony screaming in joy as if she was on a roller coaster. "Twilight stop! We just passed her," Tails motioned to the green dot on his radar. They flew down, looking at a small hamanoid hedgehog in a dress. "Little Sonic isn't going to like-" "Tails, quiet! Do you hear something?" Twilight asked as familiar music was heard on the horizon. Two blue blurs were led by a third on a skateboard shredding on a rainbow, playing the music from a big blue box. The box had a blue jewel lodged in one of the speakers, the music shifted as the gem glowed brighter and brighter. The trio sped out of control toward the group, but something stopped them. Pinkie anchored Rainbow as another pink blur slammed a spiked, green hammer on the ground. "Two Sonics?! Well, this must be Christmas! I will destroy you!" Tails looked at the crazed look and hammer of little Amy, "Oh my god..." Sonia and Manic took their gear out, trying to slow down Amy. Sonia turned back, "Are you sure she's a friend?!" "That's not Amy... sort of. An alternate dimension discovered us and their Sonic turned corrupt, became Scourge. That is Amy from his world: Rosy the Rascal, destroyer of anything connected to Sonic!" Little Sonic left the Chaos Emerald embedded boom box with Tails with a song appropriate with this situation. He nodded his head and spun towards Rosy, rolling off a rock and colliding with her back. He dodged a spike as he donkey kicked her toward older Sonic. Big Sonic caught Rosy in a blue stream of light, brutally tossing her all around before releasing her and homed in on her as 'see me dominate' sounded. He then drop kicked her on 'powerful and great' sending Rosy on her way, "Had enough? I'm just getting warmed up!" Both Sonics hopped in place readying for another attack. "I WILL SEND YOU YOUR GRAVES! I don't care how many of you there are, because I will crush your bones beneath my feet and wear you skulls as my crown!!!" she ran towards them, her mouth foaming as she readied a running start swing only to be side swiped by a cyan hoof. Sonic looked over to their music source, he waved to get Tails's attention. "Your radio?" he called back, receiving a nod. Tails found the emerald, still in the speaker, breaking the devise as the gem was freed and tossed to Little Sonic... who didn't receive it due to Miles's lack of a good pitching arm. Didn't matter though because Sonia picked up the slack by running to him at Sonic speeds. "I can run fast?!" she responded, replied with her brother pointing at the emerald then her then bowed his head. He was then punted by Rosy, who knocked Sonia off her feet with the handle of her hammer. "Is this how I die?" Twilight soared above, her horn rested up to start helping her friends. As Rosy slammed her weapon of judgement near Sonia, Twilight rose the pink menace in the air, having it hang below the girl. "You will not hurt these hedgehogs!" "Let go of me, bitch!" Rosy screamed, tossing several hammers at the unimpressed alicorn, non touching her. She made sure the group was out of range before she used a sleeping spell to quiet the monster. They group acted as one, returning to the Friendship Castle when everything was over. The dragon burped magical green flames that became a solid scroll. He unrolls it, reading the letter, "Hey Sis! Sorry about Princess Celestia not responding, but there is a serious meeting going down and she wishes for me to reply. Its one of those meetings, even I, can't join without proper papers. I digress. I will inform the Princesses ASAP. And these 'hedgehogs' you mentioned, are you sure you can trust them? And on the note of this "hedgehog from an alternate dimension", are you saying we might have time, space, and the multiverse theory on our doorstep, preparing for war? I wish you the best of luck. Your BBBFF, Prince Shining Armor." Manic took out a notepad with pages of scribbles, stopping at a page with names starting with themselves and ending with Twilight, "So can we include four more to the list of royal connections? Or should I assume everybody and everypony is royalty in one form or another?" Spike lets out a small chuckle, "I know! Its sort of like what Open Words said," pointing around with the scroll, "'you get a crown, you get a crown, everybody gets a crown!'" Next to the duo, in a crystal cell Rosy starts cursing and hammering at bars that shimmer with the Tree of Harmony's defense spell. The whole situation would get worse if she sees a hedgehog or blue in general. As Manic and Spike leave her diner and ran up the steps, to relay the message to Twilight, a small shadow appears in the Rascal's cell. It engulfs Rosy in its darkness, leaving an empty cell in a silent dungeon...
