	Since Charmy and Vector were the ones who already knew the location of Eggman’s base, they were the ones who led the others in a march through the Green Hill Forest and towards the base to save both of their worlds. They didn’t quite know what to expect of this upcoming showdown, but they did know was that they needed to be ready for anything… and they needed to win no matter the obstacle. Once they finally got there, Charmy and Vector took the others through the invisible barrier and revealed what was behind it. 
"Well... there it is;” said Charmy, “Eggman's base... in all of its mechanical glory."
To Sonic and his friends, the sight didn’t shock them at all; they’ve seen and destroyed plenty of Eggman’s bases. But Twilight and the others were quite impressed as they never saw anything like it.
"Good gracious me,” said Rarity in shock, “that place is huge. You could probably fit three malls in there… or four… or five!"
"I wish this was a mall," stated Rainbow dash, "but obviously that's not the case."
Everyone looked at their surroundings and saw that there was no one around and the outside of the base was completely deserted.
"It doesn't look like there are any guards out here,” said Twilight, “I guess Eggman and Solar Dusk are expecting us and aren’t worried about pulling out any early tricks."
But Sonic didn’t want to take any chances. So he stated, "Well... to save everyone the trouble, I'll just take a few laps around this area if that much is true."
"Sonic, wait!" Tails tried to shout.
However, Sonic already took off like a bullet. He zoomed all around the base trying to cover as much area as he could to see if there were any traps. But by the time he reached the main entrance, it was all cleared.
"Nuthin' happened;” said Applejack in a surprising tone, “how about that."
Sonic waved to the others from his location and shouted, "No traps here! Its safe to come over!"
Most of Sonic’s groaned after seeing Sonic rush in without any thought.
"Show off;” Rainbow Dash lightly grumbled as she crossed her hooves, “I could've done that myself."
Still feeling upbeat, Pinkie told everyone, "Come on, everypony; last one over to the base's entrance is a stormy gloom cloud!"
"A... what?" said Vector.
"Forget that, Vector;” shouted Charmy, “lets go go go!"
As everyone started making their way towards the entrance, Pinkie noticed that Fluttershy was moving very slowly with her head down; like she was distracted by something in her mind. So Pinkie hopped back over to her, and said, “Fluttershy, what are you doing? You're going to end up being the stormy gloom cloud!"
Fluttershy looked up at her responded seldomly, “S-sorry, Pinkie; I just have stuff on my mind… you know.”
Pinkie then got in front of Fluttershy and then was massaging her cheeks trying to lift her spirits up, “If its about Cream… CHEER UP!!! She’ll be just fine; and don’t worry, she’s not truly mad at you! She knows that you are just protecting her because you absolutely care about her!”
“She sure didn’t sound like it,” said Fluttershy sadly.
Once Pinkie and Fluttershy got to the entrance, everyone else was trying to figure a way to get in. But Tails pointed out, “Well here’s the entrance, but we have an obvious problem.”
On the side of the huge door was a complicated lock pad with an electronic number code built-in.
“Its locked… of course,” Rainbow Dash sighed,” They toying with us and wants us to work our butt off just to get in!”
“Stand back, guys,” said Amy while holding up her hammer, “time for this girl to shine.”
Everyone stood back as Amy held her hammer back and then swung it forward in an attempt to knock down the giant metal door. But her hammer was stopped cold and instead began to vibrate violently; and the sensation went into Amy’s body. “Whoooooah, h-h-h-h-how do y-y-yooou s-s-stop th-th-this!”
The vibration was carrying her everywhere and she couldn’t stop. But then Pinkie got in her path and held out her hooves, “I gotcha!” Amy then ran right into her and both fell onto the ground. Pinkie just giggled like it was nothing.
“Hee hee hee, that was fun! Can we do that again?!”
“No,” Amy groaned.
“I guess my fist won’t be much help here either,” Knuckles admitted, “Stupid sturdy  doors.”
Tails then whipped out a couple of his trusty tools from a bag that he was carrying and was prepared to do his thing. “This is where my genius comes into action. Just give me a few minutes, and I’ll have this door open in a jiffy… hopefully.”
“Or…” said Twilight with a smile, “I can just do this.”
Twilight then gathered magic in her horn and was using it to work on the lock. And as everyone was watching in awe, the lock's code was soon broken and the lock became unlocked in a matter of seconds.
“W-w-whoa, how did you do that?” Tails questioned in shock.
Unlike everyone else, Spike knew what she did but was still impress of what he saw. “Nice! An unlocking spell; right?”
“Right; an advanced unlocking spell," said Twilight proudly, "It can get past any lock but should only be used responsibly.”
“Could’ve mention that earlier," said Tails while putting up his tools.
“Better late than never, Tails,” Sonic chuckled, “That magic really does comes in handy.”
With the code and lock of the door broken, it began to open up giving them access inside the base where Eggman and Solar Dusk would be lying in wait for them.
“Alright, the door is opened!” Charmy cheered, “From here on, its easy street until the big showdown!”
But once the door was all the way open, they were suddenly face to face with a small army of egg soldier robots who were already waiting for them to come through. They all slightly jumped being caught off guard; but they soon stood their ground.
Charmy slightly chuckled while blushing from embarrassment, “Oops.”
“Charmy; you and your big mouth!” Vector shouted.
“Now this is what I was hoping for!” said Knuckles beating his fists, “Bring it on!”
Everyone got ready; preparing to take out the robots that were before them, but at the same time trying to reserve most of their strength.
“Well this will be over quick,” said Rainbow Dash with a smirk, “Its just those same regular Egg pawns.”
“Try not to get a big head, Rainbow Dash and jinx the situation for us,” said Rarity.
Sonic immediately zoomed forward and took out a few of the bots, and then faced everyone shouting, “Come on, lets not waste time here! Take them out quickly!”
Thankfully for all of them, the robots didn’t put up too much of a fight, and so they them all out with ease. It was obvious to them that it was just a small interruption to stall time, but they didn’t let that bother them as they continued on. 
Sonic mildly dusted off his hands and said, “Now then, what were we doing before we were rudely interrupted?”
“Searching for that evil scientist and the dreaded Solar Dusk I believe,” Spike responded, “But we sure showed those robots whose boss!”
“Spike, you didn’t do anything,” said Rarity.
“I’m here for morle support! You need someone to cheer you guys on after all.”
As they all made their way deeper into Eggman’s base, Tails took out a device that showed a layout of the base to see where everything was. “Eggman and Solar Dusk are most likely to be in the control room right here; its Eggman’s favorite place to plot schemes against us. That’s usually the case so far.”
“So we find him using that doohickey thing in your hands?” said Rainbow Dash as curiously poked the device.
Tails took it away from her hoof and answered, “Umm… yeah, that’s the idea; and please don’t call it a doohickey.”
“Well, won’t be long now,” said Applejack, “Let just make sure that we’re all at our peak performance for this.”
“I know I will,” Amy agreed.
Located near the back of the group, Fluttershy was trailing behind everyone trying to get her mind off of Cream’s anger towards her and getting herself together for whatever comes next. But just then, the group walked past a small corridor that led to a big pair of doors; but Pinkie had suddenly stopped and was staring at it while her tail was suddenly twirling around and pointing straight at the door.
“Hmm? Hey, come check this out, everypony!” she shouted out to everyone.
They all heard Pinkie and were coming back to her wondering what she found.
“What is it, Pinkie?” Twilight asked.
“I’m not sure,” said Pinkie, “but I have a strange feeling that the bad guys are through that door!”
“What makes you so sure of that,” said Tails.
“I don’t know. I’m getting this sensation tingle in my tail, and its telling me that we should check behind there! Look at it; its twirling like crazy!”
Sonic and his friends still didn’t fully understand the weird nature behind Pinkie and her antics, but as long as her friends knew how to deal with it, they knew that they could as well. Tails looked at his device noticed something interesting.
“It does seem that behind those doors is one of the biggest rooms in this base. So I guess there is a chance that they could be in there.”
“Well... her pinkie sense hasn’t failed her yet,” said Twilight chuckling, “I say lets trust her tail.”
“If that’s the case,” said Amy lifting up her hammer, “then stand back!”
Amy prepared herself and lunged towards the dual metal doors. And with one swift swing with her hammer, she banged on them causing them to swing open normally; just with more force.
“Nice!” said Spike, “Guess this door wasn’t as secure as the other one was.”
Fluttershy took a deep breath and said to herself, “Just get it together, Fluttershy. Don’t dwell too much on what happened… just… do what has to be done now.”
Everyone soon walked in only to find themselves in a huge colosseum room complete with bleacher seats that surrounded the area. It was a marvelous sight.
“Whoa, look at this place,” said Charmy, “It is huge!”
“Looks like some sort of colosseum,” said Sonic, “Heh, probably a place where Eggman has his robots fight in gladiator-like battles against each other for his own amusement.”
They all looked around the place wondering where the bad guys could be. Then Twilight asked Pinkie, “Alright Pinkie, where are they? They are here, right?”
Although Pinkie was confused herself. “That’s what my tail told me, but I don’t see them anywhere! That’s so weird.”
“And your tail talking to you somehow isn’t?” said Vector.
Tails knew that they were in situations like this before and thought to himself, “I got a bad feeling about this; a really bad feeling.”
“I don’t get it; where are the bad guys?!” said Charmy filled with impatience, “We need some fighting action!”
Then right on cue, the metal doors behind them suddenly closed shut on their own making everyone jump yet again.
“The door… i-it closed!” said Spike in a panic.
“Man, that bee friend of yers really does need to stay silent sometimes,” said Applejack to Vector. 
“Tell me about it.”
As Vector glared at Charmy, he chuckled out of embarrassment again, “Heh heh heh.” 
Suddenly, the lights in room dimmed, and a single spotlight shined up top of a pedestal where the one and only Eggman was slowly floating down from in his egg pod laughing and making his presence known.
“Greetings, my fellow miscreants, and welcome to my Egg Colosseum! Mainly a place where I mostly have my robots fight in gladiator-like battles against each other for my own amusement!”
“Heh; see, I told ya,” Sonic chuckled.
“You have all made it just in time to witness your doomed future. It all ends here!”
“As I’m sure that you seem to say every time Sonic and the others face you,” said Rainbow Dash.
Charmy suddenly aimed an expression of anger at Eggman as he rushed to the front of the crowd and shouted, “Cut the smack talk, Egghead! Where’s Espio!”
After landing on the ground some feet away from the group, Eggman responded, “Quit your blabbering! Have patience and you will get what you wish.”
“I think we’ve all ran out of patience as of now, Mister Eggman," said Twilight as she glared at him, "You made a completely huge mistake by sending one of your baddies into our world and breaking Solar Dusk out.”
“Yeah!” shouted all of her friends.
Suddenly, a secondary voice was heard; one that was more dark and sinister, "On the contrary… I’m afraid I have to disagree with you all on that fact." They all then saw him; Sloar Dusk as he was walking out from behind Eggman sporting an evil smile, "Thanks to that little move of his, I was finally able get another chance to achieve greatness and fulfill my dream… the recognition of my genius that I deserve.”
Most of Sonic’s friends were glaring towards Solar Dusk finally seeing him in person. And despite his size, they knew from experience that he was more powerful than he looked.
“Well well," said Applejack with a smirk, "the big, bad Solar Dusk finally comes out of hidin’ and show his ugly mug.”
“I was never truly hiding to begin with," Solar Dusk replied, "just staying on the sidelines since I wasn’t completely prepared at the moment; but call it what you must.”
Spike slightly shuddered upon finally being in the same room as their enemy while looking up at Twilight. “You know... f-f-for some reason… he seems a b-bit more intimidating in person.”
“So you’re Solar Dusk, huh?" said Vector crossing his arms trying to put on a tough demeanor, "Let’s not waste anymore time here. Show us where Espio is now… or things might get ugly.”
Solar Dusk chuckled and said, “Ah yes, your little ninja chameleon friend. No need to fret, he’s right here… completely unharmed.”
Suddenly, from behind Solar Dusk, Vector and Charmy’s teammate came walking out into their view; and he did looked unharmed to them just like Solar Dusk said. However, Esipo strangely had his eyes closed during that moment.
“Espio, buddy!” Charmy shouted in joy, “Ha ha, thank goodness you’re okay! We’re here to rescue you!”
Espio somehow didn’t seem to respond to Charmy’s voice.
“Hold up, Charmy,” said Vector suddenly as he held his arm out in front of his bee friend, “Something doesn't feel right about this.”
“What are you talking about?” said Charmy as he pushed past Vector, “Its Espio; everything about him is right.”
“Charmy, come back here you little…”
Fluttershy was trying to get a good look at Espio wondering why he was acting so calm and collected while standing next to Solar Dusk and wasn’t making any response to his friends. But then, when Charmy was but a few feet away from Espio, Fluttershy gasped as she suddenly noticed something that the others didn’t at first. 
“Oh no. Don’t! Get away from him; he’s…”
But before he realized, Charmy saw Espio open his eyes that suddenly went aglow with purple light; and then he zipped right in front of the young bee quicker than anyone could see. Espio then lunged out his fist with two fingers pointed out and struck against Charmy. He barely felt it at first, but then at a split second his body was sent flying past Vector and everyone else and into wall before falling on the ground.
“Charmy!” Vector shouted as he ran toward him.
“And he’s out of the park!” said Eggman with delight.
Everyone was in shock seeing what happened; an ally injuring another ally just like that. Thankfully, when Vector reached Charmy, he was a bit woozy but okay overall. 
“Ugh… well that smarted.”
Vector then glared back at Espio who flipped himself back beside Solar Dusk and shouted, “What’s your deal, man?! We risked our lives to come here and save you! Why would you do that to Charmy?!"
"B-because... of that," said Fluttershy as she was frightfully pointing at Espio’s neck.
When the others look themselves, they all gasped as they suddenly saw one of Solar Dusk’s dark gems on a collar that was wrapped around Espio’s neck. It was now clear of what happened.
"He should count himself lucky,” Solar Dusk chuckled, “that wasn’t even half of his new strength."
"Its those gems again;” said Twilight, “they double the strength of anyone who wears it... not mention gets controlled by Solar Dusk."
"Curse those blasted gems!,” said Vector feeling pissed off, “He's not going to get away with this!"
"Don't worry, he won't," said Sonic, “We’ll make sure of that.”
Knuckles himself could sense and feel the energy coming from the gem around Espio; and it alone made him falter a bit. "This... dark power... emanating from that gem... its pure evil! This chump needs to go down!"
Solar Dusk suddenly fixated his eyes on Fluttershy who was looking at him but was slightly shaking from his presence. “Something the matter… Miss Fluttershy? You seem a little shaken up; a bit down in the dumps.” Then he realized that a certain couple of creatures were not present with the yellow mare, “Where’s your little rabbit friend with her blue pest?’ Don’t tell me that they didn’t show up to the party.”
“Hey, stop patronizing her, you creep!” shouted Rainbow Dash, “She daeling with enough stress as it thanks to you!”
“Yeah; her business is not your business!” Pinkie added, “But… then again... your business is our business; so… huh. Now I’m confused.”
Fluttershy suddenly stepped forward in front of everybody taking the matter into her own hooves, “It okay guys; I got it.” She then took a deep breath, and then made a slight glare at Solar Dusk as she said, “No, Cream and Cheese aren’t with me, they’re back at their home safe and sound… away from you! There was no way I was going to fall for your trick and have you purposely hurt Cream again; that threat you made earlier was clear enough to me! S-so… too bad that you’re not going to have your way this time… not that we were planning to let you anyway.”
Solar Dusk was not patronized by Fluttershy’s words at all; lowly chuckling, he was amused of how Fluttershy was acting so confident. “How cute. You think that even without her here, things will go your way. Well… let me tell you… the truth is that it really doen’t matter anyway. You all sealed your fate the moment you walked through those doors. From here on out, victory belongs to me.”
“Don’t you mean… us?” Eggman questioned.
“Oh yeah… right,” said Solar Dusk as he rolled his eyes.
Sonic began chuckling himself as he walked up beside Fluttershy and said to the dark pony, “You know, Solar Dusk… seeing your dark gems controlling a bunch of cold, lifeless metal machines is one thing; but seeing you control the body of a living and breathing soul… that’s just messed up, man. Pardon me and try to understand that we have to stop you at all cost now. Powerful gems or not, you won’t win!”
Everyone was now getting ready to charge at the enemy. This is the moment that they were waiting for; the moment of Solar’s Dusk’s failure.
“You’re going to pay for what you made Espio do to me, ya jerk!” shouted Charmy in anger.
“That’s right, Charmy!” shouted Vector, “Use that anger in your favor!”
“You ready for this, Fluttershy?” said Twilight as she walked up beside the yellow pegasus.
Fluttershy smiled at her feeling more calmer now and responded, “I am now. Lets get this over with; I Think I’ll make Cream some apology cookies with her Mother afterwards.”
“Sounds good to me.”
“Well then,” said Eggman to Solar Dusk, “it looks like things are finally going to heat up.”
“You bet it is!” said Applejack, “Its time to take ya both down before ya have a chance to do anythang else!”
A sly smile came from Solar’s face as he said,  “Oh I’m afraid not. Doctor… if you’ll do the honors.”
“Gladly!”
Eggman pushed a button on his pod’s panel, and it caused the many doors on the surround walls to open and huge numbers of Eggman’s robots were suddenly surrounding the heroes. Of course for Sonic and his friends, once again they were not surprised at all.
“Aw man, how many robots does this guy have?!” said Spike freaking out. 
“You didn’t really think that those smaller robots were the only ones Eggman made, did you?” said Tails.
“I was kinda hoping… so much for that. But it doesn't exactly help that they all have one Solar Dusk’s gems too!”
“Um… I don’t mean to be a buzzkill,” said Rarity looking at the many different robots, “but… some of these metal brutes look bigger and stronger than the others that we faced from before.”
“Ah had a feelin’ that we were left off easy those other times,” said Applejack with a small smirk, “Pretty well-played, Ah’ll say.”
Eggaman’s two assistants, Orbot and Cubot were sitting in the bleachers of the colosseum sipping cups of oil while they watching everything unfold.
“Don’t mind us,” said Orbot, “we’re just over here on the sidelines preparing for a big show.”
“This is going to be off the hizzle for shizzle!” shouted Cubot.
Pinkie couldn’t help but laugh at Cubot’s words, “Hee hee hee hee! He said hizzle.”
Then suddenly out of nowhere, Metal Sonic came flying onto the scene landing right beside its creator emanating its glowing red eyes. Sonic had a huge smile on his face feeling that things were getting interesting again.
“Ah, look who came back to play a second round of a beating. Just how many times are we going do this same routine?”
The odds of the upcoming battle drastically changed in mere seconds and it looked like everyone was going to have to work even harder just to capture Solar Dusk.
“Oh man,” Spike shuddered, “This is getting way out of hand! I should’ve just stayed at the house with Angel.”
“What are you going to do now?!” said Eggman with a smug little smile, “Clearly your smartest choice is to just surrender.”
“Fat chance, Eggman!” shouted Knuckles.
“Sending out many of your robots at us doesn't exactly changes things, Doc,” said Sonic, “We’ll take them all down as usual. And with these girls on our side, that just heightens our chances.”
“You better believe it,” shouted Rainbow as she and the others came together not standing down, “Get ready for a total pony beatdown!”
“Uh-oh,” said Charmy mocking towards Solar Dusk, “looks like you’re in trouble now!”
Solar Dusk lowly growled and signaled Espio to go at him again. Espio vanished and appeared in front of Charmy getting ready to take him down, and Charmy freaked out; but Vector suddenly got in front of him just in time to block Espio’s strike and took ahold of his hands.
“Oh no you don’t! You may be a ninja… but to me, your moves are too predictable!”
Vector then used his strength to push Espio back away from them; but the nimble ninja landed back on his feet while flipping himself back beside Solar Dusk.
“Wow, n-n-nice save!” said Charmy while trying to calm down.
“Thanks,” said Vector; but he was slightly groaning while shaking his hands, “Ugh… but Espio definitely seems stronger than usual thanks to that stupid gem. I almost broke a sweat with just that one block.”
“ Hey, Solar Dusk,” said Twilight, “looks like you underestimated us! While they take care of those robots, the girls and I will take care of you!”
“Awesome idea, Twilight,” said Rainbow Dash, “I bet he didn’t think about that.”
“I guess we’ll be able to capture him soon after all,” said Fluttershy.
However, when Twilight and the others looked at Solar Dusk, he was still smiling and chuckling under his breath. It seemed that he was still not worried of what was going on.
“Uh oh, he’s still smiling,” said Pinkie, “That’s not good!”
“You irritating little ponies;” said Solar Dusk, “you really want to end this so quickly? Don’t even count on that. I haven’t even showed you girls… my special surprise.”
Just then, in dark corridor behind Solar Dusk, Twilight and the others saw some slow-moving silhouettes coming out. Their glowing red eyes were hard to miss, and whatever they were… there was 6 of them. Three of them went to one side of Solar Dusk, and the other three were on the other side; and when they were in sight, all 6 of the ponies and Spike loudly gasped seeing an unusual yet frightening sight.
“What the…” said Twilight, “What in the wide world of Equestria… are those?!”
They were robots, but not just any robots; these robots walked on 4 legs, had wavy shaped metallic tails, and… well, in short… they looked exactly like them. To them it was like looking at a mirror, except they weren’t metal. 
“I… cant believe it,” said Rainbow Dash. “We have our very own robot clones! Awesome!” Her friends then slightly glared at her and then she changed her words, “I-I-I mean… not awesome! Heh.”
“Am Ah seein’ thangs?” said Applejack “Are there really robot clones of us in front of us right now?!”
Spike just made a sigh of discontent and said, “Well, didn’t expect that.”
Fluttershy was frozen in place staring at the metallic doubles of her and her friends. She saw how strong Sonic’s metallic double was, so she wondered how this was going to go. “N-n-no way… wh-what is this? This can’t be.”
Sonic and his friends were looking at the sight themselves feeling surprised that Eggman would do this just to try and stop their pony friends, but perhaps it was all Solar Dusk’s idea.
“Shocked? I’m pretty sure you all are,” said Eggman proudly, “Allow me to introduce my newest line robots; my E-Harmony series! Came up with that title myself.”
“Who cares what you named them,” said Rarity not feeling impressed, “So what if they’re a bunch of robots that look like us; so what? I look 10 times more fabulous than that fake me.”
“Oh its not just that,” said Solar Dusk, “Not only do they look like you, they share your same attributes. They think like you, fight like you, and even share your elements’ power. The only difference is that these robots outweigh your strength and will show no mercy. These are quite some real impressive pieces of work, and it all thanks to the Doctor.”
“They even have our cutiemarks,” said Twilight, “Impressive.”
Solar Dusk rolled his eyes and groaned as he said, “No, that did not come with the creations.”
“Adding the tattooed marks were my idea, ya’ll,” shuted Cubot from the bleachers.
“But still, how were you able to do this?” said Tails who was curious, “You would at need DNA samples of these girls to even try and create such a feat!”
“I’ll gladly explain,” said Eggman, “Remember our little battle earlier back the Green Hill plains? As you were all busy taking out my robots, I sent in a little micro bot that maneuvered through the chaos and gathered fur samples; and none of you even noticed. This plan was of course suggested by Solar Dusk, and I thought he was a bit nutty. But now thanks to my scientific genius and after seeing what these beauties could do, I now see his reason.”
“He was able to do all of that without any of us knowing?!” said Fluttershy, “How could we have not noticed that?!”
All six bots were emanating their glowing red eyes fixating them on their organic originals. Twilight and her friends still couldn't believe what Solar Dusk accomplished, but it was even worse that each of them housed one of his gems,
“So what do you think?” Solar Dusk chuckled, “Still think you’ll take me so easily?”
“Wow, so cool!” shouted Pinkie in excitement, “If they’re like us in almost every way, then that’s very impressive!” Without warning, Pinkie suddenly zipped up to her metal counterpart and shouted at it, “Do you like parties?! Do you like to throw parties?! Do you like to make others laugh at parties and have loads of fun?! I love doing all of those things! I even have my own party cannon! Do you have a party cannon too?! Here’s mine; check it out!” she took her cannon out of nowhere and ignited it blowing out streams of confetti.
“What the heck is she doing?” Vector strongly questioned.
“She’s Pinkie Pie;” said Rainbow Dash, “just roll with it.”
“Now show me your party cannon!” said Pinkie.
Pinkie’s metal counterpart was just staring at her not making a sound. But then, a compartment opened up on its back and raised up a huge cannon that doubled in size of hers. She then received a huge shock as it fired its cannon right beside her leaving a huge crater. Pinkie was slightly shaking seeing it and then looked back at the robot chuckling nervously.
“W-w-w-wow… th-that’s a… b-big cannon; heh. Good talking with ya!” Then she ran away.
Twilight knew that things would get hectic for them if Solar Dusk turned his new creations on them, so she immediately chose to take action. “Girls, let not waste any time! Elements, now!”
They all nodded in agreement and took their places together. Sonic and the other stood back as they suddenly saw the Elements around the ponies’ necks begin to glow. Solar Dusk wasn’t worry though as the six robot counterparts got into the same position and the little orbs that were on their necks began to glow as well. While storing up power, Twilight noticed this and felt that something wasn’t right.
“What are they doing?”
But she soon didn’t care as she and her friends unleashed their rainbow beam from their Elements and was aiming it right at Solar Dusk. But at the same time, the robots released the same beam at them, and both collided giving off an explosion of many colors. Sonic and his friends were all amazed in what they were seeing, but Charmy far beyond bedazzled.
“So… awesome.”
“Leave it to you to find exploding rainbows awesome…” said Vector with a smirk, “in which you’re totally right!”
Once the power stood still, Twilight and her friends in shock yet again that they were held back by their own power.
“That’s impossible; they did the exact same thing we did!” said Twilight, “They really are us... i-in a way."
"Not exactly how we pictured things to go,” Rainbow Dash stated, “This could be a problem."
Solar Dusk was quite happy seeing how well his secret weapons were holding their own against his enemies. "Resistance is futile; this is the part where I finally win!" And igniting the magic in his horn, all of the surrounding robots were now on the attack and were going after the Sonic heroes.
"Everyone scatter!” Sonic shouted, “Take out as many bots as you can... and I'll take care of metal faker here!"
Metal Sonic then ricocheted itself at Sonic and was halted as Sonic took ahold of its claws holding him back. It stared deep into Sonic’s face and stated, "You will fall here, Sonic!"
All Sonic did was show a bright grin and responded, "Bring it on!"
"Alright guys,” said Amy to the others as she bashed her hammer into a nearby Egg bot, “lets get to work on these robot bozos; and don’t hold anything back!"
“Don’t need your bossiness for us to do that!” Knuckles chuckled.
As they began busting through the crowd of robots, Charmy and Vector suddenly saw Espio Appear in front of them ready to take them on. Vector and Charmy hated to go against him, but it seemed like the only way to bring him back to his senses… if they could that is.
"Don't worry, Espio,” said Charmy, “we'll save you!"
Meanwhile, as the other were taking care of the main groups of robots, Twilight and her friends were standing face-to-face against their metal clones still feeling baffled of their abilities. But they needed to take them somehow in hopes to take down Solar Dusk.
"Make your move first, ladies,” said Solar Dusk in a malicious tone, “The outcome of this battle won't change either way."
"We can't lose here,” said Fluttershy with a hint of fear in her tone, “We need to stop him!"
"Don't worry, Fluttershy,” said Twilight,  “it doesn't matter what obstacles Solar Dusk throws at us; we will stop him, and we won't lose! We promised the princesses that we wouldn't come back until Solar Dusk was beat and back in our custody!"
“Dang right,” said Applejack throwing her hooves in the air, “We’re not backing out of this without a fight!”
"Alright, girls,” sad Pinkie in a serious tone, “things just got serious! Time to ditch the training wheels and bring out the big guns!”
Spike, who was sitting on Twilight’s back looked at Pinkie weirdly and asked, “Uh… you girls have have guns?”
Pinkie just smiled and giggled, “Nope, it was just a figure of speech. But it sounded cool, right?!”
“Make the first move,” Solar Dusk loudly demanded, “... or I will.”
“You girls all heard what evil, psychotic pony freak said,” shouted Rainbow Dash, “Let’s show him what we’re made of! CHARGE!!!”
All of the Elements; Twilight, Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy all trotted towards their doubles, and the doubles trotted towards them.Aside from Sonic fighting his metal counterpart, and the rest taking on the robot army and the possessed Espio, this was the moment that would decide the fate of both worlds; and Twilight knew that they couldn’t lose if they wanted to save and protect everyone.
‘Everything we’re fighting for… the safety of our worlds and our friends… it all rides on this fight. We can’t allow Solar Dusk to get what he wants! As a solemn promise to the rulers of our land… we will be victorious!’
