//------------------------------// // Side Chapter: Gone Fishing // Story: My Little Pony: Sonic Gen. Underground // by Jake Witt //------------------------------// I push a boat I stole from Robotnik onto a beach, my package riding with me. Once the small boat is all the way on the beach, I plop on my back with my sword Caliburn next to me. Hi my name is Sonic the Hedgehog and I'm being humiliated by Celestia. Recap: We won a battle that might start a war, I ignored the Sun goddess and became Darkspine Sonic to stop the Egg Dragoon, and destroyed the Alicorn Amulet. Instead of a reward for destroying two evil things, I'm being punished for taking the World Rings that corrupted her little sister Luna. The pink fluffy unicorns song I've been hearing since arrival is starting to get on my nerves by this point. "What color are the unicorns?" asked a radio that played the song. As the other voices said 'pink!', the owner of the radio replied 'froggie!'... Oh, no. Not him! "Oh, hello! Have you seen froggie? He ate another gem and flew away in a ball of fire and... and I miss my froggie!" He started crying a bit, making me feel sorry again. Before I could reply, a crimson eagle pony flew out of nowhere dropping out of form to reveal the Ditzy Doo mare holding a red frog in her mail bag. "Um... Hello! Fwoaggiey? This frog for a Big Cat!" She said, holding the frog in her hooves away from her face. "Yay! Froggie!" In all that rings, I need to move before he sees me! Suddenly my attempt to run away was slowed by Big and Ditzy group hugging me, forcing two Sol Emeralds out of the frog. Wait, what?! Flashback from "Here We Come, Tougher Than The Rest Of 'Em!" 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." Didn't Robotnik say he had all of the Sol Emeralds?! Meanwhile another council chat started, but oddly enough Eggman Nega was late. He's second in command, how's he late?! Hard Boiled thought within his cell, protecting him from an angry Amy Rose. Our leader, Big Mouth (who was murdered by his coward nephew before the Genesis Wave revived him as that dork and yet, he's our leader) spoke, "Nega, report? What's taking Sombra's revival so long?" Nega looked like a mess as he tried to fix his 'stache and replied, "We need all the Sol Emeralds to complete the process." THUMP!!! "What do you mean by that?" "I only have two Sol Emeralds..." Beach Ball hoped in on this, "I thought the we had them all!" "If I explained how I lost it, it would sound like a fucking acid trip..." This time I commented, "Try me. I made cookies that turned Sonic's friends into mini me's as he turned me blue Sonic-Robotnik." "Sega shit... Well, that explains the purple cookie at my door and my prancing in a super form. I seriously became "Burning Blaze Nega" and when I returned to normal they scattered. I found four, but then a frog ate two of them followed by a big cat chasing it." Loki and myself actually laughed our asses off, I was able to respond, "Big the Cat's frogs ate your gems? There's training to avoid that frog!" Big Mouth got up, flipping his TV tray as he yelled at Nega. I wished I knew what he said, but the sound of a screaming girl and hammers bashing metal bars designed to keep her in or out, took the air. Nice try girl! Five songs. This hug lasted five long songs on a radio plus commercials. Within the third song, I began rolling the group with the pegasus ignoring the heavy weight that was placed on her when we rolled and Big laughing joyfully. Soon things got out of hand as we rolled down a slope with a launch pad, which fired us at three loops and a twist followed by a trail of springs that shot us throughout the air. "Why are there springs and loops in the desert?!" I scream out over the cheers from my fellow huggers. "Sire, look!" Caliburn exclaimed, motioning towards something, "That place reminds me of the Arabian Nights, so it must be Saddle Arabia!" "You're right, thanks!" I force Big's weight to my left as we rolled towards the sandy town. Behind us, a huge boulder came out of nowhere rolling after us in faster speeds. I force the power of my light speed shoes onto the group, allowing the biggest spin dash ever as we countered the boulder and sent us both flying like two exercise balls- You know? I can stay in the air and somehow push on an invisible wall to destroy robots in a homing attack, despite my non lethal quills. Either Eggman's robots are weak or physics is derped... no offence to Ditzy. I was finally free of the hug, but not my companions as we cantered the sandy streets. All around horses (not ponies) and mobians in desert wear watched as an unlikely trio walked amoung them. A grumpy blue hedgehog in uniform, a brown scarf, and gold shoes carrying a box as big as a child with a bubblewraped sword with eyes. A grey pegasus with a mail bag, blonde mane and tail, and staring at a crushed muffin with gold eyes that looks at the muffing and you sadly... Like she's judging your very soul! And a big, fat cat holding a frog. Nobody could tell if they were mail carriers, unintelligent, or rich. I sat my package down and used it as my soap box as I called for their attention, "Hello Saddle Arabia, I'm Sonic the Hedgehog of Equestria!" From everywhere knives were taken out, reflecting sun light as my eyes. I held up Caliburn as I countered their light, "Take me to your leaders, this is urgent!" Caliburn smirked as he Canterlot voiced a translation, "STOP THIS FOOLISHNESS! MY WIELDER IS SIR SONIC, SON OF QUEEN ALEENA OF MOBIUS, KNIGHT OF THE WIND, KING OF THE MEDIEVAL REALM, SAVIOR OF THE ARABIAN NIGHTS, AND MANY MORE TITLES! He has crushed gods and defeated djinn. We bring peace and warnings of war." Everything stopped as knives and produce littered the ground and slack jaws were all around. We were escorted into a palace and to a throne room filled with gold, pillows, tigers, and a few Mobian belly dancers as I brought in my box. In the low thrones sat a brown horse with a short tan mane and long tail with a beautiful pink and deep purple horse in the other throne. They stare at me as I pushed the box across their marble floor towards them. I wait a bit to catch my breath as I held Caliburn to them, getting weapons pointed at me. He rolled his eyes before he spoke for me, "Hail, Saddle Arabian royals! We would wish an audience, but this is urgent. My name is Caliburn the ancient sword Excalibur and this is King Sonic, savior of the Arabian Nights blah blah blah. He has a list of titles that I don't feel like repeating." I regain my composure as I sheathed my bragger. My hand directs their attention on the box, "I speak on Equestria's behalf. I have no clue what is in this box, but I know its evidence of Equestria's innocents and an upcoming threat incase my first hand encounter means nothing." Once they open the box, a blue robot chao flies out, "Hi I'm Omochao! You opened the box! It contails Omochao and the remains of a roboticized pony and a piece of the destroyed Alicorn Amulet." "Oh no. I cant survive year without meeting ONE Omochao!" "Press A to Jump and B to ground pound! You got the light speed shoes! They help you ru-!" I grabbed the metal pony head in front of Omochao, who turned one the pony's projector eye. It showed images as Omochao narrated. Gerald Kintobor became Robotnik in the original timeline all the way to now, only describing what was necissary. From the seer warning my mom to smores with Eggman as we wait for his Cow Bot. Nostalgia and pain flew by as time kept restarting. My sibling replaced by the Freedom Fighters. Robotnik evolved to Eggman and Metal Sally was his greatest weapon. Mega man helped me save our restarting, separate worlds. The Freedom Fighters and the world I knew, gone. The new outfits and bodies, made to stop Lyric. And now all the timelines are merged with this world. The royals looked to me, speachless as the most recent images showed me releasing the Alicorn Amulet spirit. After the show, nighttime revealed itself as Omochao and the head fell back into the box. I wipe my tears as I regain my composure, "Well, don't we have a story for the griffons, eh?"
