“I can’t believe we are actually going as this.” The voice of guy in his early 20s said. Another in his late teens turned to him with a smile on his face.
“Come on you know you make a great Shadow.” His younger brother said. With them was the youngest Sibling drinking from a soda in his teens.
“Really going as the hedgehog trio?” He asked. The three of them were at a local convention. Around then where some simple and a few more out there costumes. One guy was as Deathwing and this other was some kinda miss matched being.
“Hey look.” The one going as Sonic pointed. On a booth was what looked like the seven Chaos emeralds near an assortment of other items from many shows and games. “How much?” he asked the elderly man in a cloak sitting at the booth.
“Ten bucks,” he said while reading a book, not looking at the trio. “Sold.”
They each took some emerald, walking away to find another booth. However, an hour later passes as the group noticed flashes of light coming from their emeralds. “Whats going on?” the boy dressed as Silver asked his brothers. In a flash they three where gone, without a trace.
<Equestria modern day>
Celestia gave an angry sigh. Discord took the elements of harmony and disappeared, but not without telling them with either riddle or a clue.
“Princess is there any other way we could stop Discord?” Twilight asked. Celestia thought it over, there was nothing else she could think of that could help.
“Yes there is somethings that could help,” Celestia turned to them. “Follow me please we may not have much time.” The group followed her as they went deeper into to Canterlots vaults. “Long ago there was once the three tribes of ponies. However the tale goes, the tribes had little idea of what they could do until three beings came. They began to show them what they were capable of and were even seen as heros.”
The vault opened up and there in the middle was three statues in flawless ice with seven gems glowing within a case. “These are the Hedgehog Trio from that story. A long time ago, they are said to have faced the Wendigo King just before the Wendigo wars. They are said have disappeared soon after the fight, seemingly lost forever.” Everyone turned their attention to the hedgehogs. “However, it appears that in the final battle, they were imprisoned in ice by the Wendigos right as their king was defeated.” Celestia pulled the lid off the case that held the Emeralds as they started to glow with a unknown yet familiar energy.
“You’re giving them to us?” Twilight asked.
Celestia sighed, “I know this may seem desperate, but I see no other way to stop Discord.”
One by one the Emeralds floated up to the ice statues and circled around them. As the emeralds came up, the group reacted in caution, as cracks formed with three glowing lights red, blue and silver shining through. Finally after a burst of light and energy, the ice was gone to reveal three unfrozen hedgehogs. Shaking their heads, they slowly reoriented themselves.
“Sonic, you’re an idiot!” Was the first thing said as the black one with red stripes hit the blue one over the head.
“Shadow, what was that for?!” Sonic asked, rubbing his aching head.
“I told you we should have gone Super to face the Wendigos, but you just had to charge in head first!” Shadow scolded.
“Guys,” Silver said getting their attention. “I don’t think we should be fighting around our guests.” He nodded his head towards Princess Celestia and the others.
The three quickly bowed before Celestia, who was among the group stunned in silence from the display. She held up her hoof, “Rise hedgehogs.”
“Celestia you know them?” Twilight asked in awe.
“Well no, actually.” Celestia answered.
“We kinda picked up on it the crown and the fact you have the three tribes under you.” Sonic answered. “So how long have we been on cold ice?”
“About thousand years… Possibly more.” Celestia answered, keeping a calm, even tone.
This time Silver smacked Sonic’s head, “Good going, Sonic, now our friends are dead!”
“OW! Well, at least we’re still together!” Sonic snapped back.
Twilight walked up to the three, “Who and what are you?”
Sonic was the first to speak, giving her a thumbs up and a smirk, “I’m Sonic. Sonic the Hedgehog!”
Shadow rolled his eyes and crossed his arms crossed, “She asked for an introduction, not a circus. Anyway, I’m Shadow.”
Silver held out his hand and shook Twilight’s hoof, while cheerfully saying, “And I’m Silver, its nice to meet you!”
“Nice to meet you, too? My name is Twilight Sparkle, these are my friends and, my mentor, Princess Celestia.” The purple unicorn said, pointing a hoof at said friends and teacher.
Shadow smirked, “Well aren’t you special?” His smirk fell, “Though, you probably didn’t expect us, so why are you here?”
Celestia looked down on them, “Are you familiar with a being named Discord?”
Shadow raised an eyebrow. “I heard of him. He was asleep when we last checked. If he ever were to wake up, he would spread insanity across the land. Am I wrong?” Shadow said recounting a tail. “Whats this got to do with anything?” Shadow asked.
“Well, he did awake and ruled Equestria in chaos and disharmony. My sister and I managed to imprisoned him in stone. However, he escaped again and has stolen the very things used to stop him before.” Celestia explained.
“Wait isn’t Discord a god? How did you even stop him?” Silver asked.
“Wasn’t the Windago King a god?” Sonic asked.
Shadow shook his head, “No, he was a spirit.”
“You will stop him with the elements of harmony.” Celestia answered.
Sonic got to stretching. “So now he freed and stolen the very thing you used to defeat him?” He asked.
“Yes and I came to ask if you could stop him all of Equestria and me especially would be in your debt.” Celestia said with a bow.
“Well then lets get going.” Sonic said, he was about to take off when he was covered in a cyan light as Silver held him up with his powers. Twilight and the others watched in awe at the scene.
“Hold up Sonic, the last time this happened we where ice statues! Can you try to slow down for once?” Silver asked, he then placed him down. Sonic turned to him and gave a once over.
“What we all need to do is use the Chaos emeralds, go Super and beat him up. Easy!” Sonic said pointing to the still glowing emeralds.
“Sonic, this is a god we’re talking about!” Silver exclaimed.
“So? I’ve beaten gods to a pulp!” He said, hopping on his feet.
Shadow shook his head as Silver asked, “Oh, you have? When?”
Sonic counted his fingers, “There was Dark Gaia, Erazor Djinn, Merlina, Solaris-”
Silver cut him off with a laugh, “Sorry, what? I don’t remember you being Kratos!”
“Hey, I bet I can defeat Discord, no sweat!”
Shadow waved his hand, “See you in another thousand years.”
Nearby, Rarity whispered to Fluttershy, “Dear, doesn’t he remind you of Rainbow?”
“Um… yes. I think so, too.” Fluttershy, a yellow pegasus quietly replied her white unicorn friend.
Sonic’s eye twitched. “Come not like either of you done anything as well.” He pointed to Shadow. “Black Doom.” He pointed to Silver. “Iblis.”
Silver looked peeved as he asked, “What are you talking-?” The Chaos emeralds moved to Sonic.
“Look while we argue, Discord out there making 2+2+=5 and cats and dogs living together we’ve got to stop it.” Sonic said, acting as leader.
Shadow gave a sigh. “Fine, but when this backfires I get to blast you to the moon.” Shadow said. Celestia winced at that statement, being reminded of what she did to Luna.
Shadow walked up to them and Silver gave a defeated sigh. “Ok, but lets not go overboard I’m still finding thorns in my quills from last time.” Silver said pulling another out.
With the emeralds at the ready the three spoke two words. “Chaos Control!” With that the emeralds gave off their energy and in a flash everyone there disappeared to just outside Ponyville. Which was now basically upside down.
Sitting in his red-black throne laughing was Discord. “Oh so glad you could finally join me. And who are you three?” He asked.
“I’m Sonic. And that’s Shadow and Silver,” Sonic then pointed from Shadow to Silver. “We’re here to beat you up.”
Discord was silent before he gave a laugh at this. This was the
“What’s so funny?”
“You? Beat me up?” He used a teacup to fill his teapot with green gravy, dipping a Sonic ‘06 disk and munching while giggling. “I don’t think you know who I am.”
Sonic got in his face five seconds flat, “I don’t think you know who we are.”
“Mega Man, Bat Man, and Mr. Peebody,” he said, smirking with grilled teeth as Sonic tossed a blue helmet of his head. “Don’t you get it? Its no use trying to stop me, since I’ve already won!” He waved a talon around him, making a full rotation without other body movement.
They noticed the land had different textures, from a 2D pixel world to creepy land with rainbows dancing in the sky with poptart cats falling from the sky as pink cotton candy clouds rained chocolate and blue cotton candy clouds reigned terror in the form of huge lasers.
Sonic rushed back to his brothers, making a quack as he landed. Why? Discord replaced sound so his laughter sounded like traffic and Silver’s threats sounded like sizzling bacon.
Discord increased his ear, “Wot thot M8?”
Sonic got to Silver dragging him while Shadow rushed though. Sonic pulled out the chaos emeralds, moving into position, the two of them nodded. Discord looked as seven gems floated around them. “What? Do you really think some gems-” The emeralds merged with the three of them, the colorful glow replaced by a golden one.
“NOW WE'LL SHOW YOU!” Sonic voice was heard from all over. Floating there above the ground, the three hedgehogs colors changed to a glowing gold with red eyes. There quills floated up. The three super hedgehogs glared at Discord.
“Oh, yeah, big deal.” Discord attempted to pull them closer, but Shadow snapped his fingers. Time stopped while Shadow rushed him, with every hit he leaved a little ball to explode. With a snap, time restarted and Discord finally felt the attacks at full power as they dedonated at once with a huge, audible, BOOM.
The god of Chaos was then kicked in the face, by Sonic, over and over again, but to everyone there they couldn’t see the attack as Sonic moved faster than the eye could see. Silver used his powers, grabbing Discord before slamming him into the moon then the planet over and over again, unknowingly angering a lunar princess. Shadow summoned a hundred glowing yellow spears, commanding, “Chaos Spear!” They slammed in Discord, who was on the ground, beaten and in pain. Actual, physical pain all over his body.
“How is this possible?” Discord asked.
Sonic smirked, “Because we’re Sonic Heroes!”
Shadow sighed, “No. We’re not doing that anymore, Sonic.”
Discord stood back up and glared at them. “Oh yeah is that all you got?” Discord asked.
The three Hedgehogs looked at each other. They appeared around him. “CHAOS BLAST!” They said together. Discord closed his eyes the flash gave out… and halfway through the three returned to normal. Discord was in a partly made crater and could barely feel his body, groaning in the severe pain he felt.
From behind, a tiny purple dragon ran up to the ponies with five necklaces and a crown with special gems on them. Twilight looked down at him, excitedly asking, “The elements of harmony! Spike, where did you find them?”
The young drake smiled and said, “Found them in the library!”
Twilight facehooved and sighed before responding, “In the library...”
“Hey it can’t be in a maze. Knowing Discord, he would put it in an obvious spot and have someone think of a maze!” Sonic exclaimed, turning normal. “What just happened? It hasn’t been a minute yet!"
Silver seemed to have counted with his fingers, “You’re right we must have spent so long our connection to the Chaos Emeralds, the Chaos force has weakened!”
A talon was seen embedding itself into the ground then a paw. Discord head came up with magic literally coming from his glowing eyes. “That’s it, I’m going to do something I’ve never done before!” Discord gathered a massive amount of magic, shouting, “I’m going to wipe Equestria off the face of this Planet!”
Everyone backed up except Sonic, who just laughed, “Who or what do you think you are? The Space Colony Ark? Black Doom? Dark Gaia is more intimidating than you!”
“Sonic! This is no time to be messing around!” Silver called out.
“We got this, bro!” Sonic replied with a thumbs up as Discord began glowing. Everything turned dark as the draconequus became the only source of light.
“Twilight, the elements!” Celestia shouted, clicking in the heads of Twilight and her friends.
Twilight and her friends nodded as they readied the elements and unleashed the rainbow blast just before Discord unleashed his own blast. “Ahhh!” When it was done Discord was a statue his hands raised ready to blow them all up into nothing. The energy he held was converted into harmony magic that returned the world back to normal.
Shadow came up to Sonic. “We going to have a talk about this later.” Shadow finished.
Silver raised a hand. “So what we do now?”
