//------------------------------// // Here We Come, Tougher Than The Rest OF 'Em! // Story: My Little Pony: Sonic Gen. Underground // by Jake Witt //------------------------------// Darkness... All around me... AND I STILL FEEL A HAND ON MY SHOULDER!! Its bad enough being back in this black limbo when I recently just got out. Suddenly my theme starts playing from my iPod... I can feel my hand! I move my jaw and start stretching as a twinkling light returns to my vision- Please tell me those tiny horses are not there. There's a voice next to me that exclaim, "Amy was right, they're real! Ponies!" Don't look. Don't look. Don't look. I looked. Next to me was... me. Or actually a top heavy lunk that looks similar to me. He looks down at me with a dumb look at me, opening his mouth, "I knew this day would come," WHAT?! "MY OWN SIDEKICK! I will name you Knuckles Jr..." I think I just entered hell. Well, maybe Sega Archie DOES exist- The guy is lifting me. Off the ground. In a hug. "Let me go!! Drop me now, you dim meat head!" "Nope." This guy's arms are so strong that they crush the air out of me like a couple of pythons! "CUTIE MARK CRUSADER FRIEND FINDERS, YAY!!!" The fillies cheered before checking their butts. The big guy dropped me, "Amy was right, they're real! Ponies!" Oh my Master Emerald, make this stop! "Well, this is something I wasn't expecting," Sonic commented as the 'cutie mark crusaders friend retrievers' left the hut sad and blank flanked as my Knuckles antagonized his thinner counterpart. Caliburn levitated up to Sonic's ears whispering, "Whatch your lovers around these two. I still don't trust Gawain..." It took a few days to get the two caught up... days because of big Knuckles. Then we had to over simplify everything. - Time Eater is eating time. - Thought to be dead sibling were sent here and are now learning new music. - Pony world is the far future. - No idea how the hut got here. - Magic. - My medieval friends are here, too. - Rainbows hurt. - Mirror Portal to a High School. - Pony music is common. - My sword can talk and his name is Caliburn. - No. That's not Shadow. The list goes on from there. Seriously, Spike had to write two full scrolls and explain that he's not "Barney's son" or something like that. He 'ahhh'ed and his response, "Oh, so we're in the far future. But can you explain the people staring at us?" The lunk one asked. Pinkie bounced in, "Its the viewers Knuxie!" She then proceeded to twirl so fast the room was engulfed in pink. When everything was back to normal, we were surrounded by a huge army of Deep Knightmares and ten Titans in the middle of town. I took out Caliburn as big Knuckles chucked thin Knuckles at one of Titans, proceeding to attack the nearest one. I watched as the toothpick one glided towards the big monster's face. He attached his shovel claws and went to town on its face causing it to try to clobber him with its club. As I slashed through Nightmares, large Knuckle Head punched one of the Titan's wooden clubs into splinters then broke its shin as he dug into its face with the strength of ten piko hammers. Little me appeared from seemingly nowhere, using his skateboard as a weapon as he bounced and smacked every nearby enemy. Even the harmless Dark Bats that just floated in the air, which I used in chain homing to guide me to a Titan behind the weaker Knuckles. Caliburn met the back of its head as we slid down its back, cutting it open. I hopped away and twirl slashed at some more small enemies as Jet sped into battle, "A skateboard?! How could I let him beat me?" He Darth Vader choked many of them and the survivors became his projectiles against some Titans. Sir Lancelot was in his usual morning walking, noticing the fight he rushed into the hut to retrieved his armor and weapons. He landed a few clean cuts with his sacred sword Arondight. The brave ponies watching the fight cheered as he rose his weapon as sped of to stab and slice minions. He looked to the Titan Sonic hopped off of and finished it off, seeing his king leave it. Tails flew overhead with Twilight riding in the copilot seat and Dash standing on the wing, they swooped down firing at two Titans. He then crushed a third under his plane's mech feet. The Tornado 2 transformed and became a pair of hovering robot fist that smashed some Deep Nightmares, only to freeze in place as a few Dark Masters paralyzed them in ice and lightning magic. Sir Lancelot spin slashed them, freeing the plane. Rainbow Dash broke her hooves free from the ice and proceeded to kick some enemies as both Knuckles tossed near boulder sized rocks around, more Dark Masters appeared sending flames to the group. Nearby Little Sonic held a red ring, getting enraged by the World Ring he found, he ran into the Everfree Forest, "BURST!"returning as a over powered Red Burst. He flew around burning the enemies in his path... nearly all of them, before returning to normal and punched the living Tartarus out of a surviving Dark Master that dropped his staff in the fire assault. "He's got a World Ring!" I exclaimed pointing. Lancelot and Caliburn recognized my concern as everyone pretended to know what I was talking about. Rage... Fire... Yeah, the world must burn. I see that now. Sonia should die. Manic should stay grounded. Robotnik will pay for his crimes with his life... Wait, why am I thinking this stuff? "I can't believe how easy that was! Besides the beating. And the laser eyes. And attempt at flesh eating." Big Knuckles sat in silence in the hospital room I realized I was in, "Never mind, that sucked." Other Knuckles leaned on a wall with his arms crossed, "How are you even me?" "He's waking up!" Dash exclaimed as my family and future/current friends gathered around my bed minus Jet, Lancelot, thin Knuckles, and big me... The tough guy group, I guess. Everyone had an injury in one form or another and Manic was covered in dirt... seems normal on his part. Even those three little fillies was there bowing to the giant pony- I remember her! Twilight exclaimed, "Princess Celestia you're here!" "Of course I am Twilight. My messages had been screened so I couldn't send even a letter. I'm serious, I sent you an "A" just to see if it would go through." "I had nothing to do with it!" Spike responded instantly. "Thank you, Spike. But, I fear that a new threat besides this time distortion has been spying on us." She said, taking out a plastic card. A hologram of Dr. Robotnik (Note to Readers: Big Mouth). He begins his message with an echoing, tamed laugh that ends as soon as it starts. The glare from his black, red eyes sent shivers down everyone's spine. Especially Sonic's siblings and the ponies. His voice is cold like a metallic antarctic, as he speaks his robotic arm is stroking the head of a robot crow-chicken thing on his shoulder, "Greeting Princess Celestia. I heard you had problems with my treaty." He lets a tense pause fill the air, "You wont have to worry any longer. I offered peace, now I'm bringing war. If you look for love and mercy, you will not find it within me." His head seemed to know where Boom Sonic was at making the message more real, "Hedgehog. I have all of the Sol Emeralds and five Chaos Emeralds, try to stop me again." "I will defeat you." Big me responded. A loading bar replaced the fat man. [Live Feed Loading] This time my everyday Robotnik appears over the card, "What?! That's not him! ... I'm sure of it! ... I don't know, but now we have three Sonics to worry about! ... Don't kill the mail man, sir! ... Wait I'm LIVE? ... Are you sure? !!! Fine! *ahem* In case this reply is LIVE, we have Canterlot surrounded... And by your reaction I am LIVE. Princess Celestia, you have about one hour to surrender."
