//------------------------------// // Chapter 7 // Story: Mobains and Equestria Girls 2: Return of the Equestria Girls // by DarkMaster0224 //------------------------------// Chapter 7 Into the Wind (Heroes' POV) (Mushroom Hill Zone) The heroes were walking through the forest of Mushroom Hill, heading towards the location of the blue marking. "So, Hikari. Why is it you are so against Dark Gaia? I mean I know it's not a good thing, but I've never seen anyone so against it." Sonic asked the white wolf. "I am a descendant of a clan that uses the forces of Light Gaia, allowing me to manipulate Light Gaia energy." Hikari explains, "However, one day, Dark Gaia's forces attacked my village and overpowered everyone. I was the only one able to escape. I was only 8 years old then. 6 years ago, I became the last of my kind. This necklace is from my mother, she said it would help me one day, but I still haven't figured out its use." "Oh my. That's terrible. I'm so sorry, Hikari." Fluttershy said. "Ever since then, I swore to protect anyone and everyone from Dark Gaia's existence. But it seems I already failed." Hikari said looking at Sonic, Shadow, Ace, and Dark. "You haven't failed. We're still alive and well." Sonic said. Hikari smiled slightly, "Thanks, Sonic. It's no wonder you're not under Dark Gaia's control, your heart and soul are too good and pure." "No problem." Sonic said giving her a thumbs up. "Guys, we're here. It should be just beyond those bushes." Amy said looking at the map. Sonic parted the bushes and gasped slightly at the site, "So that's where Eggface scrapped it." The crashed Death Egg mk1, lay in the middle of a clearing, several of its parts scattered in the field. "You mean, what we came for is… in there?" Fluttershy asked nervously. "Yeup. And in there we will go." Sonic said as he started to walk over to the Death Egg. The others followed, unaware of a certain creature watching them from a hole in the Death Egg's exterior. (Inside the Death Egg) The heroes awed at the site of the wreckage. "I would be amazed and joyed while inside this battle ship, if it wasn't built by Eggman for evil." Twilight said looking at the broken technology. Everyone suddenly heard and giggling noise. "Huh? Was that one of you girls?" Sonic asked. "Nope. Besides, that sounded like a male voice." Applejack responded, "A little childs voice in fact." "Hehehe." The voice laughed, "Come and find me." They saw a dark shadow run across the floor on the other side of the room. "Over there!" Tails said pointing towards the place he saw the shadow. Then the shadow ran across a different side of the room. "No over there!" Pinkie said. The shadow was running all over the place at high speeds it seemed, "Hehehe." "ENOUGH!" Knuckles shouted pounding the ground, causing the entire ground to shake. "Whoa. AHH!" The voice said. Then a loud crash. "Hey, nice job, knucklehead." Sonic said, "How'd you know that would work?" "Because it always works on you." Knuckles said as he walked over to the source of where the crash was, "Well well. Found you." Knuckles came out carrying a purple teen hedgehog, "Let me go!" "A kid?" Sonic asked, "A kid was causing that racket?" "I have a name you know. It's Accel." The kid said. "How can you move from one place over to another? Are you teleporting?" Knuckles asked. "No, I was running." Accel said. "What? Impossible! Only two Mobians can run that fast. And that's Sonic and Rainbow Dash." Silver said, "Or, now just Rainbow." "Well I can't run by myself. I use this." Accel lifted his right glove's cuff, and revealed a glowing blue ring around his wrist, "It's called the Sonic Power Ring. It allows its user to run a supersonic speeds." Suddenly the blue marking on Amy's map glowed even brighter, "Guys, I think that is what we came for." Everyone looked at the blue ring. Accel looked at them funny, "Oh no you don't. This ring belongs to me. It was won rightfully by my father, and given to me." "How did your father win it?" Sonic asked. "He won a race against its previous owner." Accel said. "How about we challenge you to a race? If we win, we get the Sonic Power Ring." Rainbow said. "And if I win?" Accel asked. "You can have my necklace." Hikari said showing Accel her mother's pendant. "Oh. I can earn a lot of money by selling that." Accel said. "Hikari, no. That was your mother's." Twilight said. "You guys got anything better?" Hikari asked. "I accept your challenge. So who will race mwah?" Accel said. "I will." Rainbow said stepping forward. "I'll go easy on you sweetheart." Accel chuckled puckering his mouth slightly. Rainbow's cheeks flared and she slapped Accel across the face, "I'm already taken, you pervert." Accel rubbed his cheek and chuckled, "Well you just lost your chance of winning." Rainbow and Accel lined up on the starting line. "Ok. This race is 3 laps around the Death Egg. First hedgehog to cross the finish line, wins." Tails said, "I want a nice and clean race." (Play Fall Out Boy - Light Em Up) "Prepare to eat my dust, Accel." Rainbow said. "Right back at you, babe." Accel flirted. Rainbow's cheeks flared again, "You're so dead now." "Ready? Set?" Tails raised the flag above his head, "GO!" Accel boosted off, gaining the starting lead. Rainbow groaned and accelerated her speed. "This is too easy. I'm not even tired yet." Accel said yawning. Suddenly a rainbow blur passed him. "Whoa, she's fast. But I'm faster." Accel said boosting up to catch Rainbow. The first lap ended with Rainbow in the lead. Rainbow saw Accel coming up from behind her, "You're not passing me." She ran in front of him, preventing him from passing her. "Grrr." Accel growled, 'No one can see us." He then ran up to Rainbow and stuck his leg out, causing her to trip. "AHHHH!" Rainbow yelled as she tripped. She got up and started to run again, "Hey! Cheater!" "What are you talking about, babe? I think I saw you trip on a rock." Accel said running backwards. The second lap ended with Accel in the lead. "Last lap. Get ready to hand over that pendant of yours!" Accel grinned as he passed the heroes. Rainbow gasped, "No. I can't lose. My friends are depending on me! And I will stay loyal to my friends!" Suddenly Rainbow's right wrist began to glow bright red, "What the?" When the light died down, a red crystal shaped like a lightning bolt, was in a bracelet on her wrist, "What's this?" She touched the gem and then felt a familiar energy surge through her body. Accel kept running, "Heh, I've got this race in the bag." Suddenly a red and rainbow blur blasted past Accel, "WHAT IN THE!" The blur passed the finish line and stopped. Everyone gasped. Rainbow Dash was in her Chaos Ninja form, "Hmph. Too easy." (Stop Playing Fall Out Boy - Light Em Up) "What! Impossible! How did you beat me! NOOOO!" Accel said crossing the line and dropping to his knees. "Because I am loyal to my friends. And I wasn't going to let them down." Rainbow said, "Now stand up and keep to our agreement." Accel took off the blue Sonic Power Ring and handed it to Sonic, "I'm slow again." "Not necessarily." Twilight said. "What do you mean?" Accel said. "Tails and I were analyzing the Sonic Power Ring while you were racing. But the interesting part is, you were never actually using it." Twilight explained, "The ring wouldn't work for you. You are naturally fast." "What?" Accel the ran around the Death Egg in 13 seconds, "Whoa! I didn't realize I was naturally fast. So I gave you all that trouble for nothing… I'm sorry." "Don't be, if not for you, Rainbow wouldn't have been able to gain her Chaos Harmony Crystal. The Chaos Harmony Crystal of Loyalty" Hikari said. "Chaos Harmony Crystal?" Rainbow said looking at the red lightning bolt crystal. "I read about them in a book of legends, before my village was attacked." Hikari said, "There is said to be a total of seven Chaos Harmony Crystals. Which also means. Amy! Give me your map." Amy handed Hikari the map, and she opened it. "Yes. There are four markings. There should be two Crystals each at three of the markings, and one at another one." "Did you say something about a crystal? I think I know what you're talking about. Follow me." Accel said. Accel led the heroes through the damaged corridors of the Death Egg. He brought them to the Main Power Grid. The heroes gasped. Inside of a glass sphere, that was assumed to be the power generator, was a purple starburst shaped Chaos Harmony Crystal. "That's got to be mine!" Twilight said, "It must represent Magic." "How are you going to get it out? That glass is so thick and strong, not even an explosion can break it." Accel asked, "Trust me, I tried." "Hmm." Twilight thought, "I think I need to tap into the magic in my spirit." "The magic in your spirit? What the heck does that mean?" Accel asked leaning against the wall. Twilight closed her eyes and began to focus on the Chaos Harmony Crystal of Magic, 'C'mon. Work.' The crystal was suddenly surrounded by a deep pink aura, and it began to float towards the edge of the glass. "There's no way she's gonna get it through that glass." Accel doubted. But the Crystal passed through the glass like it was air. Accel's jaw hit the ground. Twilight then opened her eyes and let the crystal fall into her hands, which then glowed brightly as light engulfed the purple and violet hedgehog. When the light died down, Twilight was in her Chaos Mage form, "Certainly has been awhile since being in this. The hedgehog clothes actually feel much more comfortable than the human version." "So now we have, my speed back, and Rainbow and Twilight's Chaos Harmony Crystals. But I have a feeling we're missing something." Sonic said. "The Chaos and Dark Emerald that was sent here!" Silver said. "Right." Rainbow said, "I can feel a Chaos Emerald nearby." "And I can sense a dark energy signature close by." Hikari said. The group went to where the energy signatures were felt, and sure enough, both a Chaos and a Dark Emerald were floating above two pillars. "I got the Chaos Emerald." Shadow said walking over to the Green Chaos Emerald. "I got the Dark Emerald." Dark said walking over to the Dark-Blue Dark Emerald. When Shadow touched the Chaos Emerald, his inhibitor rings glowed green, "Huh?" Suddenly his eyes flashed too. Then he smirked, "Finally." "What is it Shadow?" Sonic asked. "I've got this back." Shadow said, "CHAOS SPEAR!" Shadow yelled throwing a Chaos Spear at Sonic. "Whoa." Sonic said dodging the spear with quick speeds, "Watch where you're throwing those." "Heh. Couldn't resist." Shadow said. "I've got nothing still." Dark said. "Don't worry, Dark, you'll get your's back soon, bro." Ace said patting Dark's back. "Where to next, Amy?" Hikari asked. Amy opened the map and the blue marking on it stopped glowing blue. Now it glowed golden, "Let's see. It says we need to go to the gray marking next. I'm guessing that is for Ace. And it's on Angel Island." "Sweet. Let's go." Ace said. "I'm not going with." Accel said. "Why not?" Hikari asked. "Because, I have other things I want to do. Places I want to see." Accel said, "You guys can complete this quest of yours without me. See you all later." And with that, he dashed off to unknown territories. "Well, let's get going. We need to stop Tirek." Sonic said.
