//------------------------------// // Chapter 9 // Story: Mobians and Equestria Girls: Fates Between Worlds // by DarkMaster0224 //------------------------------// Chapter 9 The Eternal Darkness is Revealed Sonic, his home friends, and the girls were walking down the sidewalk to go to school. "Oh I can't wait to start school!" Tails said excited for school. "Wow. The only person I thought I would see excited for school was Twilight." Rainbow whispered to Sonic. "Heh. I was expecting it." Sonic chuckled. The group of teens walked into the school, but were greeted to Principle Celestia. 'Uh oh.' Sonic thought. Principle Celestia saw the group, "You six to my office." She said pointing at each of the Mobians, "You six girls, go to your classes." "But." Rainbow began to argue, but Twilight stopped her. Sonic smiled at her, "We'll be in class soon. See you girls later." The girls left for their classes, leaving the Mobians and Principle Celestia. Celestia brought each of them to her office, locked the door, and then closed the shades, "I imagine you all know why you are here, correct?" "If you're referring to the video Snips and Snails made, or the live news recording, then yes." Silver said. Principle Celestia smiled, "Yes and something else too. But first, tell me who you each are really." She sat down in her chair and listened. Sonic explained everything they had told the girls. Celestia's eyes widened in surprise, "Well. I thought you were awfully odd teens. Practical super-human strength, super speed, teleportation, psychokinesis, extreme durability. You being from another world would make a lot more sense now." "Ehehe. Yeah. Sorry for not telling you sooner, Principle Celestia." Sonic said, "I imagine you're going to kick us out of the school aren't you?" She only smiled, "No. I'm not going to kick you out." "What?" Sonic asked. "You may not be from this world, but I am not one to kick students out of my school. However, you are not to use your powers unless they are absolutely needed. Or I will kick you out of my school. Are we clear?" She responded. "Yes Ma'am." Silver responded. "Good. Now then, you three can go to your classes." She told the three brothers, and then looked at the three new teens, "I presume you three are new students?" "Yes we are." Tails responded. "Well let me be the first to welcome you to Canterlot High." Celestia responded. "See you guys later." Sonic said to the others. The three brothers left and went to their classes. (Gym Class) Sonic, Shadow, and Silver walked into the gym as the other students began to walk into the locker rooms. "Where have you three been?" Coach Armor asked. "We had to bring out friends to Principle Celestia because they're new." Silver explained. "Ok then. Here are your gym clothes." Coach Armor said handing the guys shorts and t-shirts, "Now go get changed. We're playing dodge ball today." "Oh yeah." Sonic said pumping his fist. The three boys went into the changing rooms and got changed. After they came out, they saw Rainbow and Applejack talking to each other. Sonic smirked and told the other two to keep quiet, "I'm gonna sneak up on Rainbow and try to scare her." "Oooh. This should be interesting." Silver said as he and Shadow walked up to the two girls. Rainbow and AJ saw them and waved. "Hey where's Sonic?" Rainbow asked. Silver quietly laughed. Rainbow looked at him confused, "What's so funn- AH!" She screamed. Rainbow was suddenly grabbed from behind, arms hugged her from behind. She looked behind her and saw Sonic laughing at her. "Hahaha. Very funny, Sonic." Rainbow said sarcastically, and then kissed her boyfriend's cheek. The gym doors opened and Amy and Knuckles walked in. Amy saw Sonic and Rainbow and began to fume, 'I'll get you back Sonic. Mark my words.' Coach Armor saw the two new teens, "And who are you two? Wait don't tell me. You two are friends of Sonic, Shadow, and Silver." "Yeah." Knuckles responded, "My name's Knuckles." "Amy Rose." Amy told him. "Ok, what are your physical strengths?" Coach asked. Amy spoke first, "I'm great with agility." "Amy Rose: Agility. Ok. Knuckles what about you?" Coach said putting down Amy's. "I'm great with strength." Knuckles said pounding his fists together. Coach Armor then noticed the spikes on Knuckles' hands, "Uh." Knuckles noticed what he was looking at, "Oh. Right." "Don't worry, Principle Celestia informed all the teachers about you teens and strange abilities, looks, etc. You're covered." Coach said. "Oh phew." Knuckles said. "OK CLASS!" Coach yelled. Everyone stopped socializing and looked towards coach. "I'd like to introduce two of our newest classmates, Amy Rose and Knuckles." Coach said, "Because I know we all want to start playing dodge ball as soon as possible, I'll do their testing tomorrow." The students cheered happily. "Now then. Today's team captains are going to be Sonic and Shadow." Coach said pulling out a coin, "Sonic you get heads, and Shadow gets tails. Ready?" He flipped the coin high and then it hit the floor, landing on heads. "Sonic gets to pick first." Coach said. "Rainbowdash." Sonic called. Rainbow jogged over next to Sonic. The two teams finished picking their members. Team results were the following. Sonic's Team: Sonic Rainbow Knuckles Fleetfoot Applejack Shadow's Team: Shadow Silver Amy Soran Spitfire "Ok then. Teams go to your sides and wait for the whistle to begin." Coach said as the two teams went to opposite sides, "Ready?" "Prepare to be owned, Shadow." Sonic said. "I was going to say the same thing, faker." "Set." Coach said putting the whistle in his mouth. "Time to smash em all." Knuckles said. "GO!" Coach blew the whistle and the two teams sent balls all over the place. Knuckles picked up a ball and hurled it towards Soran. Soran began put his hands up to catch it, but the ball hit him in the gut. "Hehe YEAH!" Knuckles cheered. Suddenly a ball hit him in the side and he fell down. Shadow smirked and then continued to through more balls. The game continued on until there was only two people on both teams left. Sonic and Rainbow, and Shadow and Amy. They each had a ball in their hands. "C'mon Sonic! Smack em down!" Knuckles yelled. "Wreck em all Shadow!" Spitfire cheered. Sonic and Shadow chucked their balls at each other. Shadow dodged Sonic's, but Sonic didn't have as good of luck. He was hit square in the head. "Hmph. Too easy." Shadow said crossing his arms. Suddenly a ball hit Shadow's arm and he saw Rainbow empty handed, smirking at him. Now it was just Amy and Rainbow left. "Well well, look at this predicament. Two Sonic lovers facing each other." Amy said smirking. "Yeah well I'm already Sonic's. So there's only one real Sonic lover here." Rainbow said. "Uh oh. This isn't gonna end well." Sonic said looking between the two girls. Amy smiled, "How about this. Winner gets Sonic all to herself. Loser, gets to leave him alone. Forever." Rainbow thought for a minute and then smiled, "Fine." Amy threw her ball at Rainbow, but the rainbow haired teen dodged it. "Too slow." Rainbow said spinning around and throwing her ball at Amy at high speeds. Amy smirked and summoned her Pinko-Pinko Hammer, pulling it back to swing. "Uh oh. Amy don't do it!" Sonic shouted getting up. Amy didn't hear him, smiling like a mad person and swung her hammer hard, slamming the ball directly towards Rainbow. Rainbow's eyes widened as the ball flew towards her and she put her hands up. "NO!" Sonic yelled running between Rainbow and the ball. Sonic took the ball to his face and was knocked unconscious. Rainbow looked down and saw Sonic laying unconscious on the ground. His nose was bleeding and his breathing was slow. "No. No! SONIC!" Rainbow cried lifting his up in her hands. Amy's eyes shrunk in horror, "Oh my god. What have I done." She dropped her hammer and it dissappeared. Coach Armor ran over to the gym phone and called Principle Celestia, "Principle Celestia, it's Coach Armor. I have an unconscious student here and he needs to see the nurse." Rainbow sat there holding Sonic's head as she cried into his chest, "Please don't leave me, Sonic." Coach Armor ran over to them, "Rainbow, I need to take Sonic to the nurse's office." She nodded and Coach picked Sonic up and ran out of the gym to the nurse's office. Amy was still shocked at her actions and what she had done. Rainbow turned towards her and ran at her, tackling her down to the ground, and pinned her to the floor. "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING YOU IDIOT!" Rainbow yelled at her. "I... I... I don't know. I was..." Amy whimpered scared. "Jealous! You could have killed me. And you might have done just that to Sonic!" Rainbow yelled at Amy. She raise her fist, about to punch Amy's face. "Rainbow! That is enough!" Applejack said as she and Knuckles pulled Rainbow off Amy before she could hurt her. "Let me go! Let me at her!" Rainbow yelled in pure rage, trying to pull herself from Knuckles and Applejack's grip. Amy back up in horror and then she ran out of the gym crying into her hands. (Nurse's Office) Sonic woke up. His head hurt so much. Last thing he remembered was a ball coming towards him very fast and then nothing. "Ow. My head." He said rubbing his head. He had tape on his nose and then noticed it was semi red. His nose had been bleeding from being hit by the ball Amy hit back at Rainbow. 'Rainbow!' Sonic suddenly thought. He tried to get up, but then his head hurt more, "Gah!" The nurse came over, "Oh no you don't. You're not going anywhere. Lay down." "But nurse." Sonic began. "No buts. Lay down." She said. Sonic laid back back down and sighed. There was a knock on the front door and the nurse left to see who it was. Sonic heard a familiar voice, "Where's Sonic? Where is he? I need to see him now." "No. He needs to rest. Go back to class Rainbowdash." The nurse said. "I don't have one right now. It's lunch break now." Rainbow argued. "Then go back to the lunch room. Sonic needs to rest." The nurse said. Sonic got up, ignoring the pain in his head, and walked over to the front of the room. He saw the nurse blocking Rainbow from going to the back of the room. "It's ok Rainbow, I'm fine. Just a big head ache." Sonic said, "Don't worry. I recover fast." Sonic's headache then quickly dissappeared and his nose stopped bleeding. (Don't no one think of the wrong reason.) Sonic pealed off the tape and smiled, "See. Fast recovery." The nurse just stood there, amazed, "H-how did you recover so fast?" "I'm the fastest thing alive. I do everything fast." Sonic said, "Now am I ok to go have lunch with my girlfriend?" Still awestruck the nurse nodded. "Thanks. Lets go Rainbow." Sonic said taking Rainbow's hand as the two walked to the lunch room. When the two walked into the lunch room, they saw their friends sitting at one of the tables. They saw Sonic and Rainbow walking to them and they smiled. "Thank chaos you're still ok." Tails said hugging his big brother. "Heh. You know me. I'm always good." Sonic said ruffling Tails' hair a little. Sonic looked at the table and then he noticed someone was missing, "Hey where's Amy?" "Over there." Silver said pointing to a table on the other side of the room. Amy was sitting alone at a table, looking at the floor with a sad face. "I'm going to go talk to her." Sonic said. "After what she just did to you darling?" Rarity said. "Hey. She may have put my life in danger, but she is still my friend." Sonic said, "Rainbow, stay here." Rainbow was about to protest, but then she decided to sit. Sonic walked over to Amy's table and sat across from her. Amy didn't see who just sat at her table but told them, "Please go away. I'm not having a good time right now." "Are you sure you want me to leave Amy?" Sonic asked. Amy's head shot up, "S-Sonic. I-I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to..." Sonic stopped her, "Amy, it's ok. I'm still ok. But you need to understand this. You can't keep trying to make me your boyfriend. I never liked you that way. I love you as a sister. My heart lies with Rainbow. Please understand this Amy." Amy still had tears in her eyes, but she nodded, "O-ok Sonic." Sonic smiled and hugged her, "Now come eat with the rest of us." The others saw Sonic and Amy walking over to the table. Amy stopped and looked at Rainbow, "I'm sorry Rainbow. I admit I was really jealous earlier. I promise it wont happen again. I'll leave yours and Sonic's relationship alone so you both are happy. Could you forgive me?" Rainbow stayed quiet for a minute, but then smiled, "Yes. I forgive you." Rainbow got up and hugged Amy, "Just as long as you stop trying to take Sonic." The group all laughed and then ate their lunch. (Time Traveling forward to the end of school that day) The school bell rang and Principle Celestia's voice spoke through the loud speakers, "Have a good day Canterlot Wondercolts. But before you go, I have an important announcement. Next Wednesday, is this year's Fall Formal Dance. So get ready for the dance, and continue getting good grades. Have a good night. See you all tomorrow." (That announcement probably sounded stupid. But I don't know what these sound like. I've never gone to public school or a dance. Never in my life.) Students began poring out the school doors. Sonic and his friends were the last ones out. "Ah, smell that fresh air. It feels sooo good." Sonic said taking in a deep breath. "Hey Sonic. Want to have a race down at the track field?" Rainbow asked. "Sure. You guys want to come and watch?" Sonic asked the others. Everyone nodded wanting to see them race. "Shadow, you should race too." Pinkie said. "Hmm. Fine." Shadow said. "Only one condition though. No special powers." Rainbow said. "Aw man." Sonic pouted. "Heh. Nice try Sonic. But this one is going to be a fair race." Rainbow said giving Sonic a kiss. "Fine. Race you down there. Readysetgo!" Sonic said running to the track. "Hey no fair!" Rainbow said running after him. Sonic and Rainbow were neck to neck about to stop at the track. Suddenly Shadow appeared on the track with his arms crossed. "I win." Shadow smirked. "Hey. No powers." Sonic said. "No power during the race on the track." Shadow said. "Grr. Cheater." Sonic said. Sonic, Rainbow, and Shadow lined up at the starting point of the track. "Ok the rules are simple. Run around the track, 400m. No using special powers. This includes super speed, chaos control, or anything else. Normal running only." Tails said as he pulled out a makeshift flag, "Ready... Set... GO!" The three teens took off, causing Tails to nearly fall over. Shadow was currently in third place, but not far behind. Rainbow and Sonic were neck to neck. "Heh. You aren't gonna beat me this time Sonic." Rainbow said. "In your dreams. This is reality." Sonic said. The two were on the final 100m of the track. "This is where I make my exit blue boy." Rainbow said increasing her speed. "Whoa. She was holding back. Well so was I." Sonic said increasing his own speed. The two were 50m away from the end. Suddenly the ground below the two speed demon's feet exploded and they were sent flying. "AH!" They both yelled. Rainbow was sent backwards and was caught by Applejack and Twilight. "You ok Rainbowdash?" Twilight asked. "Yeah I'm ok. What was that? And where's Sonic?" She responded. Sonic had landed on his feet several feet away. He looked at the area that had exploded. A male adult was standing in the middle of the crater. He looked a lot like Shadow minus a few thinks, where Shadow had red, this guy had pale blue; his eyes were green slits; and he had teal rings around his wrists. "Who the heck are you? And what did you do that for?" Sonic asked. The adult looked at Sonic and laughed, "You never met me Sonic. But I've met you. And Shadow and Silver have seen me before. In fact, they're part of the reason you never met me face to face." "Wait a minute. You look so much like me. It can't be. Melphis? Is that you?" Shadow said. "At least someone remembers me." Melphis replied. "So you're the one who killed me eh? Well, I'm not going to let you do it again." Sonic said running at Melphis, "And you're gonna regret coming back!" Sonic threw a punch at him, but Melphis grabbed his fist and crushed it making Sonic yell in pain, "Foolish boy." He threw Sonic at the others. They caught Sonic and then looked at Melphis. He held his hand up, pointing it at them all and a small dark blue orb formed. Before he could fire it, a hammer hit him and he lost his balance. His beam shot at a tree and destroyed it. Amy had thrown her pinko-pinko hammer at Melphis and she looked angry, "Leave my friends alone." Melphis attempted to get up but a large boulder was thrown above him and smashed down upon him. Knuckles chuckled, "And stay down." Suddenly the rock burst apart and sent sharp rock shards all over the place. Melphis growled and then spoke into a com-link on his wrist, "Dr. send in Metal." Suddenly, Neo Metal Sonic appeared next to Melphis. "Metal? How did you become Neo Metal Sonic again?" Sonic asked. "Melphis helped me obtain this form again. But how is none of your bossiness. Now hand over the Chaos Emerald or perish." Neo Metal said holding out his metal claw. "Never. You're never getting the Emerald." Shadow said as he jumped into the air, "Chaos Spear!" He threw a green chaos spear at the two villains. Neo Metal held out his hand and the spear was absorbed into his hand. "What? Impossible." Shadow said in disbelief. "That's not the only new upgrade I have. Watch and learn." Neo Metal said as he held his hand out pointing at Shadow, "Chaos Beam." A green beam shot out of Neo Metal's hand and smashed into Shadow. Shadow was sent flying into one of the school's walls, and was knocked unconscious. The blue Chaos Emerald fell out of his pocket and rolled on the floor. Melphis picked the Emerald up and walked back over to Neo Metal, "We got what we came for. We're done for now." "You got what you came for. I'm here for Sonic's life." Neo Metal said turning towards Sonic. He pointed his hand at him, "Chaos Be-" A small device attached to Metal's arm and it began to beep. "What is this?" Metal asked looking at it. "An EMP bomb me and Twilight just made." Tails said. Metal looked at Tails and Twilight, and saw Tails was holding something. Tails was holding some kind of trigger switch. He pushed the button and the bomb on Metal sent hundreds of volts through Metal's circuits. "BZZZT! Gah! System overload!" Metal said as he yanked the bomb off him and crushed it. "There's more where that came from." Tails said. "Grr. We'll be back. Mark my words." Neo said. He began to walk away, but then turn around fast and threw a small sharp shard of metal at Sonic and it hit his chest. Sonic gasped in pain and he began to black out. Melphis and Metal teleported and disappeared. "NO!" Rainbow ran over to Sonic as he fell. Sonic's shirt was becoming crimson red, as more blood escaped his body. "Please no. No stay with me Sonic." Rainbow said holding Sonic's head and then looked at the others, "Call 911! Quickly!" Rarity quickly pulled out her phone and dialed 911, "Yes hello? We need an ambulance down here at Canterlot High. One of my friends is injured and needs medical attention. Please hurry." She put her phone away, "They'll be here as soon as they can." Sonic's eyes had closed and his breathing had slowed down. Shadow had woken up and limped over to the group. "Are you ok Shadow?" Pinkie asked. "I'm fine. It's Sonic who isn't." Shadow said looking at Sonic. Finally the group heard the Ambulance sirens and saw it pull next to the track. The back doors burst open as four adults came out with a stretcher. They ran over to Sonic and laid him on the stretcher and then rushed him into the truck. Another adult came over to the group, "We'll take him to the hospital. You kids should follow us." And then he jumped into the ambulance truck and drove to the hospital. The group followed in their vehicles. Shadow and Pinkie on Shadow's bike; Rarity, Amy, Tails, Twilight, and Fluttershy in Rarity's car; Silver, Applejack, Knuckles, and Rainbow in Silver's car. (Time Traveling forward to when Sonic is already in the Hospital) (Hospital Waiting Lobby) Everyone was waiting for the nurse to come and tell what of Sonic. Tails and Twilight were sitting on the couch tinkering with some gadgets Tails brought from Mobius; Knuckles and Applejack were arm wrestling; Silver, Rarity, Amy, Shadow, and Pinkie were chit-chatting; and Rainbow was walking back and forth worried as hell for Sonic. A nurse came out with a clipboard and looked at the group. "Well?" Rainbow asked. "I'm sorry. Your friend didn't make it." The nurse said. "N-no." Rainbow said. "Oh no. Sonic." Twilight said hugging Tails. "Wait. Are we talking about Tony?" The nurse asked. "Tony? Who the hell is Tony? We're here for Sonic." Shadow said. NO! Not my grandfather! (Legit) "Oh. I'm sorry. Sonic is ok." The nurse apologized. "Can we see him?" Tails asked. "Sure. Two or one at a time." The nurse said. Tails and Twilight got up and started to head to the back room, but the nurse stopped them, "Excuse me. But you don't look of age to go back there young man." She said to Tails. "Lady I'm 13 years old, and Sonic is my brother. So I can go see him." Tails protested. "Brother? You look nothing a like. Now I'm gonna have to tell you to stay out here or I'll have to call security." She said. Tails was about to argue with her, but Twilight stopped him. They both went back to the couch and sat down. Knuckles and Applejack got up and went to the back room to see Sonic. (5 minutes later) Knuckles and Applejack came out smiling. "Is he ok?" Rainbow asked. "Yeah. He doing ok sugarcube." Applejack said. "It takes a lot more to take Sonic down than a small metal shard to the chest." Knuckles said chuckling. "Rainbow, how about you go next?" Amy suggested. "You guys don't want to go right now?" Rainbow asked. "It's ok. Sonic's probably waiting for you more than the rest of us. Go ahead darling." Rarity said. "Thanks guys." Rainbow said as she walked to Sonic's room. (Sonic's Hospital Room) (Sonic and Rainbow's POV) Sonic was sitting on his bed, his chest wrapped with white bandaging. The door opened and he turned to see Rainbow standing in the doorway. "Hey Dashie. How have you be- Gahk!" Sonic began but was cut off when Rainbow ran over to him and gave him a death hug. "I thought I lost you!" Rainbow cried. Sonic was shocked, but then he hugged her back, "Heh. It's gonna take more than a small injury to stop me." They stayed hugging each other for a few more minutes. Then Sonic decided to break up the silence. "Hey Dash?" He asked. "Yes Sonic?" Rainbow said looking up. "I was wondering. If I get out before next Wednesday, would you like to..." Sonic began blushing red. "Yes? What?" Rainbow said, her heartbeat pounding. "Would you... like... to... go to the... dance... with me?" Sonic asked sheepishly. Rainbow's eyes sparkled with happiness, "Yes! I'd love to go with yo Sonic!" She squeezed him again. "Gahk... Can't... Breathe." Sonic gasped. Rainbow loosened her grip a little and smiled. The two speed demons stayed there happy. (Eggman's Ship) "You two did well. You may have not finished Sonic, but you acquired one of the Chaos Emeralds. Great job." Eggman said looking at the blue Chaos Emerald in a glass case. "We are closer to finishing Sonic and his friends. Soon, we shall rule this world and Mobius." Melphis said. Neo Metal and Melphis left the command deck and walked down the corridors. "Once all the Chaos Emeralds are in our possession, we will strike down Eggman and Sonic's friends. We will rule the entire universe." Melphis said. "Agreed. We just need to make sure no one suspects our true plan. I thank you for freeing me from the Doctor's control. Together, we will crush everyone who dares to stop us." Neo Metal said. "Indeed." Melphis said as they both walked down the corridor.
