//------------------------------// // Catch me If You Can // Story: Sonic: Dimensional Chaos // by HedgehogofRed1999 //------------------------------// After I recovered from falling from the dimensional portal I decided to think of an undercover name for myself, if anyone would happen to ask me, Maurice Boom?, Nah too obvious, maybe Maurice Strum, yeah, not too weird a name right? I thought as I decided to head into the city, and having already seeing my new HUMAN body. Which pretty much was me wearing blue skinny jeans, sleeveless jacket and white short sleeved top underneath and me being bestowed with my old running shoes I used to wear back in the days of fighting Chaos and Shadow. Ok I've just got to lay undercover until Kint makes his next move I explained, in my head. I went into the city unsure of what to expect, but sure enough, I just started to see humans, like me all looking at me and casting weird looks towards me, to which I just shrugged my shoulders at. I decided I would just act like a normal school kid, and try to find a school to settle down in. I bumped into a girl with a sort of yellow hair and light orange skin and wearing a cowgirl motif crossed between a school girl costume, we both got up and I apologized "I'm so sorry, miss... uh... miss...uh" I stuttered, as I tried to save myself the embarrassment of not knowing her name. "Applejack, pard'ner, and you would be?" Applejack asked, "Oh my name's Maurice, Maurice Strum, I'm sorry about that," I said, putting my hand behind my head, "Oh, no problem pard'ner, anyway, have I seen you around before?" She asked. "No, I'm new here, just moved into the city or I guess on the outskirts, I live out in the woods, or forest" I lied. "Anyway, I'm sure you've come here to join up with our school, Canterlot High right?" She replied, "Yeah, I've heard some crazy stories about your school" I replied, "Well you should head there now and then ask Principal Celestia or Co-Principal Luna to sign you up" She informed, to which I immediately set off to do. As I headed to the closest school I could see, which conveniently displayed the words "Canterlot High" I rocketed into the school to find a single woman in a purple formal suit and dress, roaming the halls. "Hello, do you know where Principal Luna or Celestia is?" I asked "Celestia is indisposed at the moment, but I am Co-Principal Luna, what do you want?" She questioned, "Uh I was wondering if I could join up with the school since I have just recently moved here with my family" I lied, "Yes certainly Mr..." She pondered, "Strum, Maurice Strum" I finished. "Follow me," She said, as she led me through the colorful building to a single room containing paperwork and bookshelves. "So I just need you to fill in these forms, but I must ask, where are your parents?" She wondered. "Well, my parents are both out of the country and took a vacation, and have left me to be the man of the house" I lied, but kinda of laughed in my head, where I got 'man of the house' from I don't know, but luckily she bought it. "Well everything seems in order, I hope you find your future at our school!" She said, pleasantly. "Thanks, oh by the way, who are they, beside Applejack?" I asked looking over to a picture of Applejack and what appeared to be her friends. "Oh they are her friends, the one on the right is Rainbow Dash, the top athlete just below our specialist group of athletes; Soarin, Spitfire and Lightning Dust, The girl in the center is known as Twilight Sparkle, and is know as the bookworm of their group, but she has done so many things for this school, things you may not believe, the three other girls on their left are; Rarity, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie, Pinkie Pie is the resident party animal of our town, Fluttershy is the nature girl of their little group and Rarity is the fashionista of the town, constantly making clothes for her customers. All of them are considered the top students of the school" Luna explained. "Oh cool, " I replied, as I left her sight and headed to the forest. At Everfree Forest Let's see what we can do about this, I thought as I looked at the trees that surrounded me and thought to make a wooden house, out of the trees that occupied the space. I started to vibrate my hands and started slicing the trees down and made the foundation of my house before making the wooden sides and roof, and looking back and saying that the house was pretty good, It took me literally no time at all, due to my speed. I jumped onto the roof; started to relax,put my hands behind my head and started to drift into sleep. The next day I woke up to the sound of birds chirping away, and I, still in my same attire, decided to have a bath, so I headed up the mountain, and found a hot spring, just my luck. After I washed I got dressed and decided to head to the city to get myself something to eat. As I blasted into the center of the city I looked around for any cafe's or restaurants, heck even a fast food place would be great, I just hope they'd serve Chilli dogs. "Hey! Mister New Guy!" I heard a girl call. I looked over to see Applejack hanging around in a cafe, with one of her other friends, a pink skinned girl with pink hair and colorful clothes to say the least as well as having a symbol of three balloons on her dress, who I recognized from the picture as Pinkie Pie. "Where are you going?" Applejack asked. "I was looking for something to eat, I haven't eaten since yesterday" I replied, as my stomach started grumbling. "Aww I wouldn't be able to survive if I didn't have anything to eat, SO HERE!" the pink party girl said as she stuffed my mouth full of candy and sugar. I started to chew and swallow and as I finished I found my hunger had vanished and my energy started to shoot through the roof. I looked at my hand and there was a small discharge of my chaos energy. "Whoa, what was that?" Pinkie asked. "I don't know" I lied, "Thanks, by the way, Pinkie Pie," I said, " How did you know who I am? Oh boy, are you Psychic?! " She asked, " I saw you in the picture, in Principal Celestia's office" I answered "Anyway, ready for your first day Maurice?" Applejack asked "Yeah I guess, I just wish..." I began, but suddenly a giant mech, bearing the Eggman insignia, in an instance it started tearing up the city, and I saw people panicking and running around in fear. "What's happening, what is that?" Applejack asked. "It's a Mech, a giant robot that someone pilots!" I yelled at her as the sound started to get too loud. She looked over to me with a 'not amused' face, as she already knew that. " Maurice I ain't dumb, despite the stereotyped country accent!" She yelled back. I laughed before I blasted out of the cafe and went into an alleyway, to create Tang. He had the same clothes as me but with orange as his clothing and skin color. "Yo Sonic how you been?" Tang asked to which I silenced him, as to not blow my cover. " Call me Maurice in this world, now listen I need you take that thing out, " I said as we pulled our heads out of the alleyway corner to see the Mech tearing up the city. "Ok cool! You could be my sidekick!" Tang said as he blasted past me and confronted the Mech, This is gonna end well, I can tell I thought, rolling my eyes at my more reckless clones attitude. "OK, Mechy! Stand down!" Tang said, standing in the middle of the street. "You think you can beat me, boy? don't make me laugh!" Robotnik's voice laughed through a microphone on the Mech. "I won't know until I try!" Tang replied, charging straight at the robot and slicing its arms off, and taking out its power core. "And I didn't even have to try!" Tang laughed, seeing the Mech crumble. " Egg-Mech initiate protocol 3!" Eggman yelled into the computer, at once he was ejected from the Mech and started flying away, and the Mech fired a missile at a nearby building next to civilians. "Oh no!" I yelled as the missile started to head directly for the cafe, thinking fast I got in front of the missile path and started rotating my hand to create a wind wall, to launch the missiles upward and detonate. My plan worked as the missile started to rise into the air, and exploded. "Who is he?" Eggman asked, in anger "He's my bro, sidekick, whatever you want to call him and now to end this!" Tang said as he sped up to Robotnik and jumped up and hit him away, till he had that glint effect that TV show have. "Everyone Ok?" Tang asked. "Yeah, who are you?" The girls asked. "We are the Speedster Siblings and Maurice over there is part of our bigger group, called the Speed Squadron!" My clone said. "Even with all these crazy things happening you wanna get to school girls?" I asked, quickly changing the subject matter. "Uh Yeah," They replied. At School "Well we have a free period, first, what do you have?" The girls asked. "I've got a free period too," I said, checking my planner, that Luna gave me. "Oh cool, well do you want to meet our other friends?" Applejack offered. "Yeah sure" I replied, as they led me to the Student Communal Area, where all the students were. "Hey guys, did you hear about a giant robot appearing in the city?" A cyan girl with Rainbow hair asked who I could immediately recognize as Rainbow Dash asked. "We were there" They replied, "Who's this?" Rarity asked "My name is Maurice, Maurice Strum, it's nice to meet you, Rarity right?" I asked "So formal, knowing a woman's name, it seems you've done your homework," She said, flickering her left eye and winking at me. "Nah I just saw you alongside Applejack in a picture that Principal Luna gave me" I replied. "You're Rainbow Dash, I heard about you from Luna," I said, placing my hand on my head as though to seem like I was remembering her. "What do you mean by that?" Rainbow asked, with a confused expression on her face. "Well, she said you're the speedster of this school right?" I asked. "Yeah the fastest girl around!" Hmm I thought let's put that to the test." Yeah I'm pretty fast too that's why my bro's and I set up the speed squadron 'cause we just want some decent competition I mean going at the speed of light is kinda boring when we're only ones doing it." I stated "Who are the Speed Squadron?" Rainbow asked. "Oh us well we're kind of a new teen superhero group" I stated "You guys sound familiar have you heard of Spitfire, and Soarin?" She asked, kinda stupidly. "Yeah I've heard of them so much that I don't know them," I said sarcastically. "Oh yeah, I guess I forgot you're new anyway they, along with me are considered the three fastest people in the world so we don't need your Speed Squad or whatever" She replied sheepishly and then turned her tone to an arrogant one when referring to this "Spitfire" and "Soarin". "Save it at least you guys should make some decent competition". Rainbow stated quite cockily before I could utter a rebuttal. "Hm, and at least you'll make really boring competition," I said slyly. "That's righ... hey!" She yelled in anger. "See, you only just got the insult that must mean you're really slow," I said, with a cocky backbone in my tone. "Whatever" she replied. "Oh well it's to go to the 2nd period which for me would be music" I said with pride as I was about to rock the house. I walked to my lesson and opened the door to find all the girls there and also several new faces I wasn't used to seeing. "Ah Maurice Strum, was it?" A woman with a grayish pinkish skirt and top walked up to me and said. "Yes uh who are you? Sorry, I'm new" I said not realizing my rhyme scheme had struck a chord with her until she spoke again. "Have you been talking with Zecora? Your rhyming seems to suggest it" She asked. "I don't who this Zecora is" I responded "Oh well anyway my name is Octavia, Miss Octavia and I'll be your music teacher for Year 13 where you perform in front of millions and with that gain, a Music degree and end school on a beautiful symphony," She said, with passion evident in her eyes. "Ok uh thanks," I said kinda feeling awkward being completely unnerved by her passion, but at the same time, I respected that she had a hobby. "So will you perform for us?" She asked "Yes, of course, I'll just call in my bro's and we can get started". I said, wolf whistling and in a flash my clones; Orange, Red, Yellow and Green came through the door of the music block and established themselves at their correct instruments. "Ok we're ready to go," I said with a smirk adorning my face. "Ok, and what will you be playing?" She asked. "His World by Crush 40" I replied. "Oh I love that song can I sing it with you" A girl with some cool looking shades, purple tights, with purple lightning bolts adorning it and a standard white dress and top, she also had streaked hair with purple and a kinda blue on some strands of her hair and wearing headphones and of course converse shoes. "Please teach can I play it with him? Please please, please?" The girl walked up Octavia with teary eyes and puppy dog lips and on her knees you would think she belongs in Drama. "Oh, ok fine Vinyl" Octavia said with a heave "You can play with him". "Yay Ok cutie y'know how to play it right?" Vinyl asked. "That's why I'm playing it," I said, with a hint of sarcasm in my voice. I picked a spare guitar and two mic's and we began Beware the time as it moves along, Takin' you back always feared and strong, Like a rush of wind He moves on and on and on and on He's the fire, flame, conflicting pain Untouched and crushed and will remain The one, the two, the three, the four Headin' straight for an open door He can see, he can feel without one touch it feels unreal But it's true The power lives, inside of you Inside of you YEAHHHH! (CHORUS) In this World (His World) Where life is strong In this World (His World) Life's an Open Book In this World (His World) Where compromise does not exist In this world of worlds, every step meets the risk In this World (His World) Where one is all In this world (His world) Never fear the fall In this world (His world) Where compromise does not exist In this world of worlds Every step meets the risk (Bridge) During the bridge, I pointed to Vinyl to start the next verse Beware of your mind as it proves wrong A forward push as the clock strikes strong Like a rush of the wind, he moves on and on and on and on He's the tower, power admits no shame Untouched and crushed and will remain The one, the two, the three, the four Headed straight for an open door He can see what he can't feel, with one touch It becomes surreal but it's true The power lives inside of you Inside of you YEAH! (Chorus) Beware your mind as it proves you wrong A forward push as the clock strikes strong In this World (His World) (Guitar Solo) (Chorus again) Beware of your mind As it proves you wrong, a forward push As the clock strikes strong In this World (His World) (END OF SONG) I jumped down from the stage as the last note played and me and Vinyl sang the last word. I waited and all I saw were shocked faces, then they erupted in applause and kept wolf whistling and yelling my name and asking for an encore. "Well that was positively electrifying, how long have you been playing for Maurice?" Octavia asked. "Uh, a few years" I answered. "Yes, a few years of mastery I would absolutely love to have you in our school band if that's alright with your ,brothers" Octavia said, with stars in her eyes. "Well it could be something to do besides being a hero" Intellect answered. "Yeah it could be cool, Octavia was it? You got yourself a deal" Desire stated. "YAY!" Octavia exploded in a sudden burst of excitement. "Uh yes, uh thank you, Maurice," Octavia corrected herself and relaxed. "Yo cutie" I heard from behind me so I turned around to see Vinyl looking directly at me. "That was so cool, I know this is pretty forward but are you doing anything after school?" She asked. "No I'm free" I answered, knowing what was coming next, or so I thought. "Cool do you want to go out sometime?" She asked, I was pretty much stuck and thought about it for a minute, first of the pros; she's not Amy, She's not psychotic and she seems like a nice girl and we have a common interest in Music. But then the cons; she will be a distraction from my mission, If Kint knows about her being my girl, which is very likely could she even defend herself? I'm not taking that risk. "Hey Vinyl thanks, but no I'm sorry my life is pretty complicated right now," I said, trying to be as nice as possible. "Ok I guess I can understand that" She said, in a kinda little sister way. I could see some of the girls in the music room sigh in relief at my answer and then look up at me with hearts in their eyes. AFTER MUSIC Once I got out of the music room I saw Applejack, along with the rest of the girls all gossiping and talking, I decided to try to talk to them to figure out what they were talking about. "Hey AJ how you doing?" I asked happily. "Oh hi Maurice me and the girls were just discussing about some normal girl stuff" She answered nonchalantly as though she would've burst out a secret if I had stayed around. "Ok, I'm gonna head to the Lunch Room see ya," I said, blazing off down the halls and dodging students left and right and slowing down right in front of the white door of the Lunch room. I got into the lunch room and at the sight of chilidogs my eyes had hearts and my mouth was salivating I shot straight for my favorite food, not considering the convenience of my favorite food in a new dimension I grabbed as many chili-dogs as I could and also saw some sauces on the table the food was on, but I wasn't really gonna change anything on the chili-dogs since I thought they were perfect as they were. Taking my well-deserved hero's reward over to my new friends table I was admittedly happy... truly happy, like Kint hadn't become Eggman I was pretty alright but I was not going to forget my mission if I forgot that then not only would my world suffer, but this world would to. "Hey Twilight Sparkle how you been?" I asked, wondering if I could get an answer about what AJ and the rest of the girls were talking about yesterday. "Oh hey Maurice I didn't know you could play guitar?" she replied and I responded with a blank expression and thought I'd have a bit of fun messing with her. "Oh no Twilight, why do think my last name is Strum?" I asked, sarcasm evident in my voice. "Oh yeah, kinda figured you'd be good at that" She replied as she only got the meaning behind that false name. "Anyway Maurice are you going to eat all of those?" Twilight said pointing at my tray of chilidogs. "Sure am, I mean these bad boys are my favorite food after all and whoever doesn't like them must be crazy," I said passionately and over-exaggerated as to display my love for them. "Uh huh" Twilight responded, with the kinda voice that said "Sure I believe you... not". Like seriously Twilight must be very daring or never even tried one of these ...I guess that the latter seems more reasonable. "Well whatever any way's let's sit over there," I said, pointing to a table with no-one at it strangely. "Ok," she replied, as I we sat down the rest of the girls came and sat down with us to talk and discuss things. I won't bore you with it let's just say it's girls, what do you think they're talking about? This was until they realized I was there and decided to start to ask me questions. "What did you mean by your life is complicated?" Twilight asked. "You wouldn't believe me if I told you" I replied hoping she'd change the subject of the conversation. "Try me" She replied in a somewhat snarky tone akin to mine. "Ok Twilight here it is… Maurice and his brothers are super-heroes and just a few moments ago they saved that there city in the distance over there" Applejack said relatively normal pronunciation, stopping her accent from showing. "Oh really what were they fighting a hosepipe?" Rainbow asked cockily as to try to make me angry but still I had no time for that noise so kept my mouth shut, but growled falsely as to make it seem as though she had got under my skin. "How about a giant mechanized robot!" Applejack yelled at Rainbow angered that she didn't believe in me. "Yeah right you could be just saying that 'cause you love him" Rainbow replied. At that moment Applejack blushed since she must felt that me and her together was ridiculous either that or she did actually love me, I couldn't blame her I mean I did save her from debris of building it would be kinda crazy if she didn't think I was trying to be a sort of Guardian Angel to her. "But he did Rainbow him and his brother, Uh his... brother, what was his name?" Applejack asked me. "His name was… Tang "I replied quickly as to not draw suspicion. "Tang? What kind of name is Tang?" Rainbow mocked. "Yeah Tang as in Tangerine you know the fruit?" I replied. "Ok I guess that makes sense," Rainbow said, a bit of pride fading from her voice. "All my brothers are named after some color due to their insistence of getting single color clothes Red is Crimson, Yellow is Lightning and Green is called Jade" I explained, hoping not to confuse the group to much. " Jade that's a girl's name" Rainbow Dash stated, arrogantly, seriously she could brag for Shadow. "Yeah a guy with a girl's name can still kick your but any day of the week" I replied, which got her even angrier as she started hurling insults my way. "Hey, guys want to introduce yourself and show them why we're a squadron...Later on?" I asked and they all replied, though Red's reply could be summed up as a "Shadow Style" way of saying yes, brooding attitude and all. " Well I'll go first, you know what they say, smartest first" My clone proposed to the immediate disapproval of me and Red, Orange and Green. "Well in short I'm the same as my brothers in every conceivable way except smarts, put me against them in a quiz and their brains will be scrambling for the answer for the first question whilst I'll be at the end of the exam paper, at least that's my analogy make of it what you will" Lightning bowed with a sense of pride. "Charmed to meet you Miss Rarity… truly" Lightning said as bowed to kiss her hand. "Charmed Lightning, " Rarity said with a blush adorning her face. "Well then with your intro out of the way" Red said, with a sense of arrogance in his voice. "I'm known for my power and out of all of my brothers, I'm the strongest so that's why few ever mess with me" Red huffed and pulled back away whilst Orange/ Tang came to introduce himself to the group. "Hello my name is Tang I'm the sorta motivation of the group but apparently I'm the hyperactive one of the group according to Cobalt," My clone said, looking over to me. "Cobalt? I thought his name was Maurice" Rarity questioned. "No you see it's part of our group and we each call each other with each other's signature color Maurice is blue so we call him Cobalt" Tang explained. "Ok I get it" Twilight stated. "I'm called Jade and I'm the most peaceful of the group until someone threatens anything regarding nature, you see I love nature and the animals and all that and I don't like it when someone like tries to take 'em against their will" Jade stated, I went in front of Jade for a moment. "Well that's all the members of the speed squadron I hope you enjoyed," I said in a comedy commentator voice. "I've seen better and if you're so speedy you should've been fast enough to see that" Rainbow bragged. "Hmm Ok fine you wanna see what we can do? Ok then we'll show you in PE, which is next period" I said, with a bragging tone evident in my voice. As we walked to the PE's sport's hall I couldn't stop thinking about how Rainbow's mind may be accidentally blown by the feats she was about to witness. To be honest, I felt really good, no more angst about Kint, no more nightmares, no more guilt I was Maurice Strum, the guy with no problems at all. Anyway, I walked in, with my clones following and the girls behind them. "Attention Maggots!" I heard, and looked at a kind of Marine looking guy who I was told was called Mr. Will, but he preferred Iron for what reason I had no idea. "Who are you?" He yelled at us like a Commander would. "My name is Maurice and these guys are my bro's: Tang, Crimson, Lightning and Jade" I answered with swiftness. "Hmm ok then I'm guessing you're the new kid in the school, Celestia informed me about you but not about your brothers are they enrolled in the school?" Iron questioned. "Nope, I'm the only one enrolled in the school my brothers spend most of their time being superheroes and running around the world and we survive off of the land," I said. "Then why are they here?" Iron asked "Well, all of my brothers like the thrill but not me. I just like living normally, or as normal as I can" I lied. "Well anyway you're going to do some test as to determine where you belong in terms of sets," Iron said, bluntly. "Ok, what's the first test?" I asked. "Speed and Endurance how fast can you run around the world in 60 seconds" Iron stated. "Do all students have to go through this?" I asked, "No only Soarin, Spitfire, Lightning Dust, and Rainbow Dash go through this since they can handle going incredibly fast it seems to be their special talents since that what our school is about" Iron finished. "And you believe I have a knack for speed too?" I asked, "I don't know for certain until I see results but does that mean you wanna back down?" Iron asked I popped a large grin on my mouth so toothy you'd swear I was a werewolf again, I laughed faintly. "Hehehe not a chance it'll be good for a warm up" I cockily said, my grin never leaving my face. "Ok I'll open up the wall," Iron said as he pressed a button on a controller he had in his hand behind and in front of my the room started to disconnect and there was a walkway where I was standing where I could no doubt run back into the room when I came back around. "My top record is 18 laps Blue, beat that!"Rainbow said cockily. "I'll be happy to" I replied, "Ok let's get down to business!" Iron said, enthusiastically. "Ok Maurice you have 18 laps, to beat," Iron said. "Ok let's do it to it" I replied with my old catchphrase which sent nostalgia vibes down my spine. "3…2…1…GO!" Iron yelled and as soon as the word registered in my brain my legs pushed me forward and in a second I had already hit light speed, such a great feeling for me my body felt as though it was moving through the softest marshmallow's ever it was almost to send me to sleep but my body was woken up by the fact I had to slow down a bit to make sure I didn't cross the dimensional barrier after the 30th second I had already seen Iron's face around 225 times. I saw the reading on his speedometer read error as it couldn't keep up, hehe not the first time a machine hasn't been able to keep up with me. I saw the reading on the machine that was keeping track of my loops also start to fry so I slowed down to around Mach 11 to make sure the machine could keep up and by the 60th second, I'd already passed the guys, in total, 235 times. I stopped and then realized I was below the ground of the building and had created a mini gorge from the erosion of my shoes to the ground I ran out of the gorge to witness hundreds of stunned faces, which included Iron's face, Rainbow's, Soarin, Spitfire and pretty much all of the girls. The only ones not surprised by this were my clones as they had seen every single lap I made. "So teach, how was that?" I asked casually, as though nothing happened. "…" Silence came from his mouth as it stood agape and threatened to never close. "Teach?" I said, clicking my fingers in his eyes to make sure his brain hadn't fried. "Uh..." He said, still in shock. "Let's wait for them to regain their senses, but seriously dude a bit much?" Tang stated. "Ok it was a bit much but come on this is my first time to use my full potential without hurting anyone" I replied. "But with no consideration for how their minds are blown ain't you supposed to be the good guy?" Crimson asked in a mock voice, I scratched my head in embarrassment. Whilst waiting for reality to kick in for the group. 10 minutes later "OK now I'll ask again, how did you go that fast?!" Rainbow yelled in confusion. "Our group's called the speed squadron for a reason y'know" I pointed out like it was common knowledge for everyone, of course, it wasn't. "How many laps did you do?" Iron asked since the loop tracker actually had an error from the speed I went. "Well, I think Lightning will be able to tell us, right bro?" I said. "Of course, what do you take me for? A speedster without the ability to see at higher frames per second than anyone else, ugh perish the thought, anyway from my analysis of your speed trail of light you went 225 times in the first 30 seconds then slowed down to around Mach 11 most likely because of the fear of going into another dimension so Mach 11 for 30 seconds means you went around the world 235 times in 60 seconds also accounting for the loss of speed and the Mach 11 transition" Lightning finished. "WHAT!?" Iron yelled in disbelief "THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE" Iron yelled again. "Well at least for anyone who are not us" Crimson Bragged "Then show us you went at the speed ,of light," Rainbow said in disbelief. "OK fine" Lightning replied as he walked in place of my running start place and wave his hand in front of the space I was once in and at once he revealed my speed trail which was just pure light in either direction of my start area. "Here, this is what you call a speed trail a pure depiction of Kinetic energy it's the physical matter of speed you can touch it but I wouldn't advise it since light is around let's say 6,000 kelvins in terms of sunlight heat or 30,000 in lightning heat it's enough to burn through reinforced steel and completely incinerate a body in 1.2 seconds so yeah probably don't want to touch by my connection to light energy I can analyse the heat emitted from that run at the beginning it's around 6,000 kelvins and a few leagues around the world it's around 1,200 kelvins" Lightning explained. "Ok, my brain didn't follow any of that" Rainbow said, puzzled. "Ok to put it simply he looked at how hot my body got at certain points during that run and the drop in the heat was me slowing down that ok for you?" I asked, hoping she'd got the explanation. "Ok" was all she replied with. 30 minutes later I was bombarded with girls, left and right asking me if I could be their boyfriend even Spitfire was asking me out. All of them I refused, of course, I couldn't get mixed up with a girl, y'know the safety of loved ones meaning; Tails, Knuckles and the whole Sonic Team in my dimension. Later on, when it was time to go home the girls started to confront me outside of the school.
