"Why didn't we do anything?!" Jet asked, stomping his foot. Werehog Sonic shuttered, "That staff! I don't know what's so special about it, but I'm sure I'm like this in dark environments or exposure." "I wonder how Knuckles Jr. is doing?" Big Knuckles asked. Five of the six mobians met back up at a makeshift Meh Burger left by who-know-what, using it as a temporary HQ. "I wonder what the others are doing, too." "She's coming this way!" A ponied cried. There was mass hysteria in the streets as Red Amy grabbed a nearby griffon. "Where's my Sonic?!" She questioned. Little Sonic and Spike were useless to her, but followed to stop her when a hammer appeared. Spike huffed, leaning on a tree, "Why is she so obsessed with you?!" Little Sonic cupped his throat, raising an eyebrow. "Oh, yeah..." "Hey guys!" Tails called out, pointing to the town. Twilight's friends stood in a line as Starlight and a group of ponies started calling out 'come join us' all around. It was very creepy. The group returned to stealth, moving towards the town. "My lord, you weren't kidding," Caliburn commented in shock, "they're auctioning them off!" Wolf Sonic walked by, "They wouldn't do that. Not savages, just equal by force." The group climbed on the rooftops, looking down. "I'd like to join!" Said the soft voice of Fluttershy. A red flicky landed nearby, chirping, "What happened to her?!" Before flying off. Blah. Blah. "How could you?!" Blah. Drama continued as all, but Fluttershy returned to their prison. Fluttershy almost outed somepony, but he took the full blame, everyone hates him. Yeah, good stuff. Hold on- Sonic looked over to Tails, "Count the Party Favors. One over there in the dog house and one over there in the crowd!" "Maybe they're twins?" Werehog looked around, "Nope. Heck, the Party watching us is still watching us." Down below, Party Favor waved at them with a much larger creepy grin. His horn glowed black as an invisible Time Sombra blade appeared, opening a portal that he walked through. Gone. The group began to move, following Fluttershy. Metal Sonic Log: Season 4. Log 2. Day 3? Night time. Our heroes decide to sneak inside Starlight's cottage. How ironic. Heroes breaking into an innocent mare's home? Un heard of! My heat sensors and x-ray track five figures inside. Werehog hands a wooden bucket to Jet, who fills the bucket with water as the large echidna stands near a window. Tails flies the bucket to Sonic. As Subject: Starlight Glimmer enters her room, Sonic drops the bucket on her. Classic prank. Fluttershy stands next to the unseen Knuckles, watching as- Hello. Subject: Starlight Glimmer still has her Cutie Mark. Another irony! Talk about equality, yet still has her mark! This is gold! Day 4? All this pony drama! Faust! Sonic's team sits on the roof of the building Twilight's friends are housed in, just waiting. Werehog is starting to show signs of light in him, which is good since spiked shoes don't hide tracks well. Subject: Party Favor hugs Subject: Starlight Glimmer's leg, begging forgiveness as Fluttershy walks her friends back inside. And... OH MY GAWD!!! Subject: Party Favor!!! [ integrated into database :D ] He makes this HUGE speech about how Twilight's friends try to break him, but then he made the funniest derp face, EVER! "But I didn't listen!" he said. Yep, I'm archiving that! Anyway, Twilight leaves the prison, joining their group. Next thing you know, Sonic gives Fluttershy a bucket, which is used to clean part of Subject: Starlight Glimmer's cutie mark. The town is outraged by this. "Surround her!" Werehog commanded his group, the others appearing around the lone mare as the tides turned on her. "How could you!" "Friendship is equality!" "We trusted you!" "I made you equal! Gave you friendship! It was my magic that made this all happen!" Subject: Starlight Glimmer [ integrated into database ] shouted in vein pulsing anger. Werehog appeared next to her, "The staff is just a stick. I tried using it, but turns out the only darkness here is you! This spell you use is dark magic!" The town gasped, everypony speaking in anger or sadness. "I created harmony!" Starlight exclaimed. That's when I revealed myself, sitting in the air. "Yeah, me and my student would like to differ," I lowered myself to her. "Though, he's not here. You're the only one with a mark. Like you-" "SHUT IT!" she replied in a rude, angry, and creepy necked way. If I had a face, it would reflect Twilight's perfectly. She pushed everyone away and made a mad dash to her cottage, followed by the town. Double Diamond gave a battle cry, "Let's get our cutie marks back!" Green earth pony- Lucky Charm led the chase, "Let's gooo!" Soon, marks flew all over, liberating the town as everypony became talented and unique. Though, Twilight's friends had to get their marks. Knuckles knocked the door down as the town rushed in with them to follow Starlight. Following a tunnel, Oh My Gawd! Party Favor just turned balloons into binoculars! (Choose Wisely!) Broken physics aside, I flew after Starlight as the Sonics (Werehog being back to normal Sonic form) followed behind while Jet took an alternate route with a group of ponies. Sonics dodged blasts of snow and rock, one moving faster towards Starlight, who had the marks in jars inside a wooden wagon she pulled. Sugar Belle tossed a snow pie while Egg Beater (with a mark of sunny side up egg eyes and a unfinished pancake smile) tossed three snow eggs that took out the wagon and sent the jars falling, after the stone bride was destroyed. The cutie marks were saved, but not by the good guys. Starlight held them in her magic as she galloped towards the caverns. As she ran off, Party Favor and Backyard Barbecue (tan pegasus colt with a balloon and grilled celery mark) made a balloon bridge that a blue pegasus pulled down, allowing everyone bounced across. As the elements slowly followed them... so slow, in fact, that they could be a mile or four away. Lucky Charm (four leaf clover in a horseshoe) pointed out a thing to Diamond. Double Diamond stopped when he found some skis, remembering when he first met Starlight, and using them to slide around the snow faster than Starlight could run. He was lifted then dropped by a blue pegasus, the skis causing some snow to cover Starlight. She dropped the jars, causing the marks to fly free to their owners. The group of ponies, Jet, Sonic and Twilight's group arrived on the scene in time to stop Starlight from killing the ponies that stopped her as Twilight and Metal created magic shields to block the laser. "I studied that spell for years!" Starlight cried. Twilight stopped her hoof, "I learned that studying would only take me so far! My friends taught me more about myself than I knew. I wouldn't be the element of magic without them." "Spare me your pathetic sentiments! I gave these ponies a friendship they could only wish to have!" Double Diamond in his ski suit glared at her, "How would you know?! You never gave us the chance!" Suddenly she shot a burst of power, blinding us for a bit (and Metal Sonic for reasons), and ran into the caverns. Wolf Sonic and Rainbow shouted, "Hurry! She's getting away!" Double exclaimed, "You'll never be able to find her in there!" "Let's just hope she thinks it over," Twilight said. "Seriously! I hope she does," Metal said. "Well, I'm off! Oh, and Sonic?" "Yeah?" Both replied. "Stick to your own adventures, will you? This pony stuff might cramp your style." He took out a clock, "Looks like another boss might appear soon! Good luck!" He disappears. Sonic's group got a message that Amy was destroying the city. It was exaggerated in some details and lacking in others. As soon as blue was in sight, both Sonics were linked back to back by the grip of Amy Rose. "I missed you two! Where were you?!" We looked to each other, "How about we don't take Metal's advise." "Agreed."
