//------------------------------// // El Gran Gordo and the Sisterhoof Social // Story: My Little Pony: Sonic Gen. Underground // by Jake Witt //------------------------------// Magic Amy walked to the location of the "Sisterhoof Social" with Sweetie Belle on her back, both wearing matching purple bandannas and pink wristbands. "What's taking Applebloom is long?" Sweetie asked, looking around at the happy ponies, humans, and mobians walking around with their younger sibling. "I heard she was going to ask Knuckles to join her," she looked around, walking towards the starting line. "But neither of them have a sense in direct-" Everybody stopped as the ground began to shake when suddenly Applebloom's head popped out of the ground. She looked up at her two friends, "Lil' help here?" The ground shook again as Big Knuckles emerged with Applebloom sitting in his open hand. Applebloom looked back down, "Is it too late to grab Big Mac?" An odd looking red mare galloped past, crying. "We... are lost." Knuckles stated as he looked around, "Hey Amy, have you seen the Sisterhoof Social?" The three girls pointed at the line that sibling began to line up at. "No seriously, I have no idea where it's at." "Fillies and gentlemen!" a female voice exclaimed from the speakers. Looking at a stage, a tall and slim green hedgehog with a red suit and long green quills held up a microphone, "Welcome to the first annual multi-race Sisterhoof Social, I'm Breezie the Hedgehog, your announcer for today!" She checked her watch, "Everypony to your places in about ten minutes!" "Found it!" Knuckles cheered as everyone around him groaned. "Indeed you did," Breezie said with a sigh. "Ten minutes! I repeat, ten minutes!" Over on a hill, two figures stood. I could go into details about silhouettes and dramatic poises, but it was obvious. "Loki, what are you doing?" 'Beach Ball' Robotnik asked. "Eggman? Nonono no." The tall egg shaped doctor clad in a red and green luchador wrestler costume replied as his yellow cape flapped in the wind. "I am... EL GRAN GORDO!!!" "I am... waiting for death to take me, now." El Gran Gordo put his hand on the smaller doctor, "I offered a matching costume." "And I told you no Gordo!" Robotnik replied, knocking the hand off him and walking closer to the location of the social. "Without Sonic and two harmony ponies here, we can take hostages!" "...or we can say we failed our mission while having fun, Mi hombre." Robotnik stopped, turning his head towards El Gran Gordo. Their eyes locked as their mustaches twitched in some unknown language. "Fine. But, we're taking as many little fillies as possible." He turned to look at four robots standing behind the Eggman. "Scratch, Bokkun, Decoe, Orbot. You four are seen as the superior robots... except for Bokkun. We need his eyes in the skies while the rest of you grab hostages." The three robots soluted while the floating black on lowered his head. "Attention! Bokkun, you are amazing. You are the best flying robot I've ever made." The little robot regained morale is it solluted, "I've never made another one of each of you because nobot can replace the original!" Gran Gordo rose his fist like a rocket, shaking before it reached the sky, "Scratch is smarter than his Robotnik, Decoe is best skilled in evasion, and Orbot is a made leader!" He got closer to them, handing out huge butterfly nets... without a net. "Never give up, because El Gran Gordo believes in you! Now scram before I turn all of you into scrap." "Sir, yes sir, doctor!" they replied as they ran off. Robotnik was tempted to clap before Eggman added, "Luckily, I'm not always El Gran Gordo..." "The race is about to begin! Everyone to the finish- What is THAT?!" Breezie exclaimed, pointing at the pair practically close to her spot next to the starting line. A white gloved hand pulled her microphone, "Hola, seniorita. I'm El Gran Gordo," Eggman slipped a white slip of paper into her hand as he took his place. "Uh... um... OK..." Breezie studdered, lost and confused. Luckily Mrs. Harshwhinny was around with a backup mic. She tapped the mic before shouting, "Ladies...and gentlecolts... In position! ...3...2...1... GO!!" As soon as everyone ran, those ahead quickly found that their younger sibling was nowhere in sight and slowed down to find them. "Bokkun, tell the others to be more subtle!" Robotnik shouted over his radio before a hammer sent him skyward. "Little brother!" El Gran Gordo slid to a stop, not running into a spiked fist waiting for him as he redirected his attention to bring Amy into a head lock. "Let 'er go!" Applebloom demanded as she began kicking the wrestler. She stopped and ran off to kick a net away from Sweetie Belle. "Sweetie can ya pick up that there hammer?" The small unicorn looked over at the pink and yellow weapon, nudging it closer to Amy with her magic. Gordo grabbed the hammer, blocking Knuckle's attack and knocking him out. "Taco Tuesday..." Knuckles said woozily before falling. A blue mobian pony hopped out some bushes, her head on the other side of the portal as Sonata searched for tacos. She "saw" Eggman, thinking he was selling tacos as she pulled Scratch behind her. The chicken robot let out a high pitched scream as she ran towards El Gran Gordo. "What the-" he was tossed over her head as mentioned head returned and saw the lack of tacos, but found a luchador with a robot chicken twitching on him and Amy beating them sense less. Before anything could be said, Robotnik landed on Amy and got her mostly stuck in the ground as the three got back up and ran off. "Hurry along Tails Boy!" Sonic Man shouted... despite slowing down from over exertion. "Quit calling me that!" the orange stallion in yellow complained. "You told me Princess Twilight would be here!" "We don't save princesses, we save crazy fan girls and cute animals!" "That sounds like her pegasi friends," Flash "Tails Boy" Sentry commented dryly. He was cut from his thoughts as he was pushed aside from two speeding fat men. One wrestler and the easily recognizable Dr. Robotnik. As soon as Sonic Man reached the marshmallow chunking area he shouted, "Aw come on!!!" "Come on, they would look cute together!" Sonata gushed as they passed the angry Sonic wannabe and his sidekick. "He's even wearing a tails costume!" 'That's looks creepily identical to Tails Doll...' Amy thought as she ran with Sweetie Belle. "But, Tails is with Cosmo and that pony is blue and orange. Those two colors clash with purple." Sweetie added, "I heard that she was in a relationship with somepony already. Rarity told me." "I think I know who~" Pinkie said, Maud standing on her back as she slowed down and just as fast sped past them. "Bye!" Knuckles let out a whistle, "I'm surprised Sonic isn't here! I mean, look at Pinkie go!" In Canterlot, all three Sonics were in a meeting with the princesses and world leaders. Their spines tingled as they squirmed in their seats, but they had dedicated friends keeping them in place... though to be fair, all Sonics had to stay in their seats lest the Bunnies stun them or Cream guilt trip a Sonic for leaving the other Sonics, added to the fact that they were classified as "By blood or destiny or retired or yet-to-be royalty" and needed to be in this meeting. "But I gotta go fast..." one Sonic would mutter under his breath. "Even Shadow is here!" Knuckles added. "More like his clones," Amy clearified. "If Sonic was here, this race might be safer! Look at all this danger!" The Sonics screamed internally as they shakily sipped their tea with an uneasy smile and listened to Celestia talk about multi-species law and peace relations very slowly. Little Sonic got out of his seat, only to meet Cream and Twilight's glares. He slowly got back in his seat and signaled for another cookie. "Such a gentlecolt," Twilight whispered as Cream and Cheese nodded in agreement. The eggmen pasted Pinkie, covered in mud and slightly beat up, but still running. Robotnik cleaned his glasses, looking at his "big brother", startled as El Gran Gordo was somehow cleaning himself as he ran. "How the-" "Oh my god, I'm running so fast! We're the fastest thing alive! I, Dr. Eggman, is winning a race!" Celestia looked up from the vibrating table to the far end with the Sonics with their twitching eyes and unnerving smiles as they tried to sip tea from shaking tea cups that spilled tea all over the tablecloth. All of the world leaders turned their attention as well, a few curious, a few rolling their eyes, and many angry. Celestia rose a hoof, "Sonics? Are you alright?" "P-peachy," Knight Sonic said. "N-never better!" King Sonic added. Next to him, Little Sonic was silently screaming. Luna stood up, "We propose we take a five minute recess. Shining Armor looks to be tired and we can't blame him." Everyone else voiced their agreement as Princess Celestia rose, "Very well. Ten minute break for lunch." The table bounced and three chairs fell back as the Sonics ran off, leaving a cloud of dust in their wake. On stage, the two doctors got into a position on stage where Dr. Robotnik would home in on Knuckles and El Gran Gordo would body slam Amy. When this happened, Amy knocked the first doctor off Knuckles before being flattened by the other. Gordo quickly got up, tossing Knuckles out of the "ring" on stage and threw his brother into the air for an overhead homeing attack on the recovering hedgehog. "Ay-yi-yi!" Gran Gordo shouted, dodging Amy's hammer as it flew pasted his head. Sweetie and Applebloom shared a glance before turning to the crowd, both shouting, "Run!" A sillouette appeared, a heroic stance, "Did somepony say run?!" Knuckles reached out, "Sonic Man, no! Don't be a hero!" "LASER!" Three cyan lasers flew above, hitting one of the speakers to reveal three Sonics sliding down the pole they landed on before bouncing off with their fists back.
