//------------------------------// // His World // Story: My Little Pony: Sonic Gen. Underground // by Jake Witt //------------------------------// In the home of Sonic the hedgehog, moved to the spot Golden Oaks used to reside... Tails went to work in the new basement lab, making repairs to Classic Sonic's radio. Manic and Sonia on the other hand, were next door doing some music experiments with a Vynal Scratch and Octavia. Sonic was lounging on the couch, wrapping his arm in sports tape when all Dark Gaia's realm broke lose. At the door Twilight kept knocking, trying to get someone to open the door as Rainbow Dash slammed through the window, landing on her hooves. "Sonic! The pink wacko is gone! Your friend's devise said she was your friend and that means, if she harms a pony: it is your responsibility!" The room was silent, not even the famous DJ PON3 next door made a single sound. Twilight let herself in, seeing that it was pointless to wait now that Rainbow made a second door. Sonic took a deep breath, holding up a fist, "One: She is not my friend, but an enemy with the same DNA," he had one finger out about to be two, "Second: How did she get out?" Twilight took a step closer, "We don't know. When you left, we believed she hammered the energy out of herself or had the sanity to know when to stop." Tails and other Sonic stood in the doorway, "Doubt it." Sonic then continued, "Three: Can you use a door next time? Or is it because I beat you?" Twilight face-palmed (face-hooved?) with a groan, "I tried ever since I arrived in town from day one. She even goes through the windows of my supposed "well fortified" castle." Her head shot up, "Don't change the subject, this is serious!" Rainbow crossed her hooves while hovering, "Only because you cheated with that flying skateboard and weird transformations!" Twilight without warning took out a notepad and recorded the conversation as Dash continued, "Where did you get the gear and how did you do that?!" "I own hoverboards, the one I used, wind powered and solar/electric." He pointed at the corner of the room with a board collection. He direction Rainbow's attention towards the Everfree as they looked out the not broken window. "There are little aliens called Wisps that are made of energy or in our current case, their own type of magic. That magic in contact with someone trusted to not abuse that power can transform for a limited time. If you use too much they either die or become corrupt. They seem to be drawn to the forest." Tails ushered Twilight into his lab, probably to swap notes and stories before she gains a migraine or whatever. Little Sonic grabs the friend tracker off the kitchen table, turning it on. Around his blue dot and friend's green dots were pink dots (meaning ponies) and two yellow dots (meaning petrified friends). Maybe waking one up wont hurt... hopefully. Not worth it. Sonic woke them both and all he got was a talking sword with a metal glove (magic glove that fits all sizes) and a yellow pegasus, that won't stop mommying him. "Knave! I demand you name at once!" "Does he even have a name?" "He must have one! He looks intelligent enough, so he must have one! I shall call him Knave for the time being." "Where are you going? Are you lost?" Boy, did I hit the friend jackpot! Should I blame Archie, Chip, or Celestia? I think I'll blame the one who wont smite me in an instant. "I like that name. Knave." "Well... um... I'm not so sure-" "Nonsense! I bet he's taking me to the nearest blacksmith or maybe a wise seer!" Yeah, like that one seer that said I would see my mom again or that I would die with my siblings. Never. Again. As I'm passing the market place a second time today, ponies are backing up. A few whispering about 'slavery laws in Ponyville' and cowering a bit. According to a mare at our welcome party, last night, a hooded zebra or a rabbit herd will scare the town folk into hiding. I'm surprised nobody has panicked so far. I opened the door to the hut to find an argument going on. I pointed to the sword and tried to give my best "shut them up" signal. He huffed, "Why should I silence them? You're nothing, but a-" Butterfly butt whispered something in the sword's... ear? How does this thing even hear? Anyway he rose my right arm with the blade pointed downward. "THE KNAVE HEDGEHOG REQUESTS SILENCE, IMMEDIATELY!" The room was once again silent, but there was no tension in the air. Twilight looked to me with a slack jaw, "Di- Did younger Sonic use a t- the Royal Canterlot Voice?!" I shook my head, pointing to the sword who continued, "Sorry about that, the young knave requested silence immediately." Bigger me looked over to the sword with a smirk, "And when have you ever listened to knaves Caliburn?" "Since I don't want the yellow Dovakiin behind us to leave me in a rock, my King." the yellow pony blushed before hiding in her long pink mane as Twilight and Rainbow Dash slack jawed at her. Rainbow looked to Caliburn, "Dovakiin? As in 'the Dragon Born'?" "Well, yes, and I'm not taking a chance to see if she is one!" he grimaced, probably having bad memories or something. "Anyway- Hey, its that guy from the forge!" the blade shifted in my grasp to point at Tails. Everyone looked to Tails, looking just as confused as them, except for older Sonic. "Now you know how I feel. By the way, what's the last thing you remember?" Caliburn thought hard for a bit, "If memory serves me right. While waiting for your return, Lancelot brought me a wizard who requested an audience. With you gone, I was placed as your co-ruler so it wasn't new that a Knave, Squire, or that of a simple peasant would want a word with me. I even had to sound a 'royal we' in their presents. I digress, forgive me. The wizard called himself Starswirl, the true Merlin." Twilight's ear twitched and her interest increased. "You mean Starswirl the Bearded was there?!" "Well, if you are inquiring whether he has facial hair- yes. He was a strange humanoid horse with speech and magic beyond recognition that came from a horn and both his hands. He wore a blue robe with a matching hat with bells and indeed, has a long beard. So he was bearded. He became my wielder for a while and he embedded runes on me so that the gauntlet you wore to hold me will appear to fit all sizes and allow you flight, truly making you the knight of the wind. The rest of these runes, I still have yet to use." Sonic did his usual thumbs up, "Sweet! Oh, yeah! Introductions!" "They have the sword... That isn't very good. Is it nephew?" A man in his metal throne of his dark room asked, his red eyes glowing. "N- No sir." the small, weak man's gulp echoed through the lair, "Orbot! Cubot! Where is the master's lunch?!" Orbot rolls in with a depressed look on him, "I though you told Decoe and Bocoe to do that!" Bocoe follows behind, "Its actually Scratch and Grounder-" "I don't care which duo does it nor do I care which Robotnic or Eggman commands you," the big man with the gritty voice with authority shit-in-pants worthy, petting his metallic crow. "I will melt you all into scrap until I have a robot servant who I can give a damn about! Snively!" The little man turns to his uncle, "Y-Yes sir?" "Call the council. I want to have a word with them." "Y-Yes uncle!! You fat bas-" "What was that?" "C-calling the council s-sir!!" From above a little black bot with a box TV and a jetpack enters the room, its shrill voice so much higher than Snively's, enters the room. "Message from Dr. Robotnic in your near future... again. He requests either the return of his minions or a spot in the council!" "Bokkun, you go tell that worthless bastard to man up and stop being so inferior!" Bokkun leaves as Robotnic let out a groan. "How did I become that fool?"
