//------------------------------// // Chapter 5 // Story: Mobains and Equestria Girls 2: Return of the Equestria Girls // by DarkMaster0224 //------------------------------// Chapter 5 Mysteries of the Night (Group POV) (Just before Sunset) Our heroes were gathered at Tails' garage, discussing the events of earlier this evening. "So, Tirek has stolen Dark's powers, and the only way to get them back is to defeat him!?" Sonic asked. "Right. Tirek can take as many abilities as he wants. The more he takes, the stronger and larger he gets." Twilight explained. "Who do you think he'll target next?" Fluttershy asked cowardly. "Knowing Tirek and his hunger for power, he'll target Shadow, Ace, Silver, and Sonic." Twilight said. "Why not us? Why only the guys?" Rainbow asked. "Because the guys' powers are stronger, due to them having them longer." Twilight said. "If he want's my speed, he'll have to catch me first." Sonic said crossing his arms. "Yes, but now he can move the speed of shadows." Dark groaned, "He can pop up out of no where." "Why don't we put Tirek aside, and figure out Lilac's issue." Sunset suggested, "You know, Nightmare Moon." Everyone turned to Lilac. "What happened to you yesterday night?" Dark asked his sister. "All I remember was having a terrible nightmare, and then some black liquid covering my body." Lilac said. While everyone was talking about Lilac and Nightmare Moon, the sun began to set, and the moon began to rise. Sonic suddenly began to groan and cringe, "Gah!" Everyone turned to Sonic. "Sonic?" Rainbow said running over to him. Suddenly Lilac began to yell in pain too. "Lilac!?" Dark gasped running to his sister. A dark blue flame began to expand from Sonic's chest, "Hrrr. Hrr." He began to change as the flame got bigger. He became slightly taller, his arms became more bulkier, he now had fangs, his gloves ripped and claws formed, his shoes became spiked, and his fur became more darker too, "RAH!" "S-Sonic? Is that you?" Rainbow asked. Sonic breathed heavily, "Yeah. It's me. Just in a form I wished never to see again." "You're not the only one." A female voice said. Everyone turned. Lilac had also changed, but she had changed into a form everyone gasped at. It was Nightmare Lilac, but the only difference was that the eyes were normal, instead of cyan dragon daggers. Dark blue metal armor, night blue metal boots with silver bottoms. "Is that Lilac? Or Nightmare Lilac?" Ace asked, summoning a chaos javelin. "It's Lilac. I do not know where Nightmare Moon is exactly in me, but every night, I turn into this. What Nightmare Lilac will look like. But under my control." Lilac explained, "I like to call it my Night Warrior transformation. Sounds better than Nightmare Lilac… To me at least." Unaware to the heroes, a spy bug was recording all of this. (Eggman's Ship) "So, not only has Sonic regained the Werehog, but they also have a member who is struggling with another life form living inside her." Eggman said. "We could have used Nightmare Moon to our advantage! Why did you throw her down?!" Tirek yelled at Metal Sonic. "Because she is the reason I failed to concur the human world. She could have killed Dark Steele and Ace, but she was so obsessed with getting Lilac Steele's body, she was defeated." Metal responded. "Hmm. I see your point. But next time, let me absorb her." Tirek said, "Nightmare Moon is a dark alicorn essence. I want her power." "Hey Tirek, would you like to test some of your new abilities to gain more?" Eggman smiled evilly. "I'm listening, Doctor." Tirek said. (Heroes' POV) Sonic's ears twitched, "Huh? What was that?" "What was what?" Rainbow asked. "I thought I heard something." Sonic growled looking at the bushes. Suddenly the bushes rustled. "Hrrr." Sonic growled getting in front of everyone, "Show yourself." He stretched his arm into the bushes and grabbed something that yelped. "Sonic. Let me go." Said a female voice. Then Sonic's hand was whacked away with a, piko. "Ow. Wait a minute. That voice." Sonic said, "Amy? Is that you?" "Who did you think it was? The easter bunny?" Amy said walking out of the bushes. She was no longer wearing her normal red dress. Instead, she was wearing dark blue jeans, that were ripped in the knees; a black shirt, and jacket; and her head band was black and spiked. She also had a bag with her. "What happened to you, Amy?" Knuckles asked. "I decided to change my theme. I can do that if I choose to, Knuckles." Amy said, then she looked at Sonic and Lilac, "Ok, I've seen Sonic in this form before, but who are you?" She asked looking at Lilac. "I don't think i ever properly introduced myself. I'm Lilac Steele. Dark's biological sister." Lilac said holding out a hand to shake Amy's. Amy went to shake Lilac's hand, "I'm Amy Rose. Please to meet y…" But before Amy finished, she pulled her hand back, upon feeling a familiar energy coming from within Lilac, "No! NO! Stay away from me!" She dropped her bag and a scroll fell out "She feels the presence of Nightmare Moon. Lilac, stand back." Dark said pushing Lilac away. "Amy it's ok. Nightmare Moon is contained for now." Ace said, "She won't attack you. We promise." Amy calmed down, "Ok. I just don't want to relive being in that Nightmare." Twilight went over and picked up Amy's scroll, "What's this scroll for, Amy?" "What map? I didn't have a scroll." Amy responded. Twilight opened the scroll, but she suddenly dropped it as it flashed brightly, "Ah!" The scroll then projected images. "Guys look!" Ace said pointing at the images. An image of Tirek stealing Dark's abilities could be seen. "That's impossible. How could a scroll project images of things that already happened?" Shadow asked. The image changed and they saw Tirek stealing Sonic's speed, Ace's chaos and shadow powers, and Shadow's chaos powers. "No. It can't be. Is this scroll showing us the future?" Sonic asked. The image changed into a map. The map was split into two, one represented the Mobian Dimension, and the other represented the Canterlot City Dimension. Four dots were split apart and sent to the four corners of the map. One was blue, one was black, one was grey, and the other was dark blue. "I think those dots mean we are meant to go to them." Lilac said. Then in the center of the map, fourteen emeralds spiraled around in a circle. "The Chaos Emeralds!" Shadow said. "And the Dark Emeralds!" Ace said. Four Chaos Emeralds and four Dark Emeralds split away from the group of fourteen. One Chaos Emerald and one Dark Emerald each paired with each other and then went to one of the dots. "It seems we also lose eight of our Emeralds, four of both. And they go to the four corners." Dark said. Then the scroll stopped and became the map that was shown in the image. "But when does this start?" Tails asked. "Now!" Someone yelled. Everyone turned and was suddenly caught in a dark energy cage. "Now to claim the powers I deserve." Tirek said rubbing his hands together.
