"Maurice!" I heard Rainbow Dash yell at me.
"Yeah?" I replied.
"You've gotta teach me to go fast like you and your bros," Rainbow said.
"I… I can't, "I said, stuttering.
"Why not?" Rainbow asked, her eyebrow rising in confusion.
"Because I, well I um I don't want you to get hurt yeah that's it" I replied, hastily.
"I can handle it Maurice there isn't anything you can throw at me that I can't handle," She said, defiantly.
"Ok meet me in the forest by that mountain you see a house there Oh yeah you have to get there in 10 seconds flat," I said as I blasted off to my house leaving a loud bang resonating from the school. I got there within 2 seconds and decided to wait for Dash to catch up, 12 seconds later she was in front of me exhausted and clearly out of breath.
"You ok?" I asked, compassionately wondering if I had pushed her too hard.
"…Yeah… I… I'm ok..." She tried to laugh but suddenly collapsed to one knee trying to hold herself up.
"Well here's my house," I said, opening my arms to present the house to her.
"Where did it come from?" She asked, puzzled I asked her what she meant by that. "Well, it's just the fact that it was never here before and you don't seem like the guy with a lot of money" She answered.
"Well, actually I've got around 30,000 bits" I replied, to which her jaw dropped down to the ground.
"WHAT?!" She yelled in confusion.
"Yeah is that surprising?" I asked.
"Well yeah I mean seriously your parents must be loaded!" Rainbow said, shocked I could have that much money on me.
"Well actually I didn't use any money to make the house, I used my speed," I said, waiting for her to yell again.
"Wha..? Actually, I'm cool with this, you've already proven you're one for doing the impossible" She replied.
"You're bored of my awesomeness already? Aw man!" I fake sulked.
"No, it's not that it's just that…" Rainbow began
"I'm just kidding, anyway, you wanna learn how to go fast right?" I asked.
"Yeah" She replied.
"Well then, I guess I'll train you if you can handle it," I said, smirking and looking over to Rainbow looking at her less than pleased face.
"I can handle it, Maurice, if you can handle it, I can handle it" Rainbow replied passion, stoking her eyes.
"Ok then let's begin with the basics of speed," I said.
"Which would be?" Rainbow stated.
"Saftey" I began to explain
(Back at School, 2 minutes after Sonic and Rainbow Dash left , Lightning POV)
"Well, it seems like we should do something to liven things up a bit" I said, Twilight and the girls as well as Crimson, Tang and Jade looked at me like they were trying to insinuate I was being obvious, which I was I'm only thinking they won't get it they don't seem the educated type, ironic for schoolgirls if I was referring to them but it was more aimed towards Tang and the others.
"Well no duh Sherlock," Crimson said arrogantly, as to display my apparent idiocy.
"So any suggestions?" I asked, to the squad.
"Nothing really unless some big bad comes out to play" Jade stated.
"IT'SSOCOOLTHATYOUGUYSARESUPERHERO'SANDYOURBROTHERISFASTERTHANRAINBOWDASH" Pinkie said, quickly, without taking a breath, hmm she could give rappers a run for their money, I thought.
"Pinkie are you ok?" I asked raising my eyebrow in confusion.
"Don't worry that's just Pinkie you'll get used to it," Twilight said, calmly.
"I'm sure I…" I began only to hear an explosion emanate from the city, which could only mean one thing, trouble!
"Well it looks as though your prayers have been answered," Tang said, drolly
"I guess they have, well sorry to be intelligent and run but we've gotta go," I said cockily, I guess you could say I picked that up from Sonic, Hm the smartest of the group has the most foolish quality, pride, arrogance and a hell of an ego.
"Ok, Speed Squadron, roll out!" I said, comically, putting my hands out leading to the city and bowing.
"I wanna go to!" Pinkie said.
"Well sorry but this is a situation for heroes, not schoolgirls," I said, to which Pinkie's eyes got bigger and she clasped her hands together and made a begging face.
" Pleeeeease?" She moaned.
"It's for your own safety try to understand Pinkie," I said, as nice as possible
"Fine go be heroes but you must be the worst heroes ever if you don't do requests!" Pinkie yelled to all of us, to which Crimson stepped forward.
"We're not the worst heroes around, the worst heroes are the ones who do nothing to stop tragedy" Crimson stated, bluntly, which got Pinkie to shut up.
"Let's go already!" Tang said, eagerness in his voice.
"OK, OK!" I said as we blasted off from the school and headed to the city to deal with the problem facing it. I could only assume it was something to do with Robotnik since he was the usual cause of trouble, not always but just as a sort of tradition he usually is.
When we finally got to the city I was shocked by what I saw. A man of a red skin colour and a totally black outfit which was just a tuxedo and black trousers, the weirdest thing in his appearance was his face where he had the appearance of a demon or devilish being his facial hair wasn't helping the goatee and the sideburns curved on his face to depict him as a wild animal who could tear anyone who got in his way with ease.
Alongside was this one woman with a slender physique and purple hair with the addition of a formal attire of a dress. Done with my analysis in less than alto second of scanning my supposed targets I heard them talking out loud and amongst themselves "You are certain this is the world?" I heard the woman state.
"Yes, definitely Chrysalis I can sense their energy in this world and soon they will know the meaning of fear" I heard the man reply.
"Good I want to get back at that arrogant Princess, with her so-called friends with her power of friendship ha-ha she is truly delusional if she believes she can beat us this time" I heard Chrysalis say.
"Uh… excuse me, my name is Lightning, who are you? Are you friend or foe?" I asked curiously and cautiously as to allow my suspicions of them stay in my brain for I did not know them yet.
"Are you useful to us child do you know Twilight Sparkle?" She asked a demanding manner as to assert her authority.
"Twilight Sparkle? I may know her, why is that important?" I asked back.
"Good then you will assist us in our quest to bring her to justice?" She replied. I was puzzled, Twilight didn't show any indication of knowing these two or even remotely seem threatening.
"Why would you do that?" I asked.
"For she allies herself against the empire" She replied, with a degree of seriousness emitting from her voice.
"Empire? What empire?" I asked.
"We are getting nowhere with this," The red man said, as he walked past me and attempt to run away though I ran after him and appeared in front of him.
"Just tell us, who are you?" I asked.
"My name is Tirek and she is Chrysalis and we are searching for Twilight Sparkle to imprison her amongst her other corrupt leaders in her dimension alongside her so called friends" Tirek explained, anger evident in his voice.
"Wait, did you just say another dimension?" I asked.
"Yes my boy another dimension which was once ruled by her equine leaders into a time of despair and tragedy" Then he projected an image of Equestria in front of me.
"That's Equestria?" I asked looking at the fields and castles, which were blood red and bright amber in flames and I saw people running in fear and panic as their houses were ablaze with streams of fire and trees turned to ash, it was horrifying and I doubt Sonic would've been able to stay sane from watching it transpire all the blood and all the suffering
" I don't want to see anymore, stop it!" I said as my heart was trembling with fear.
"As you wish," Tirek said.
"What was that?" I asked.
"That was Equestria 5 years ago when Twilight left and the world was planned to be destroyed by the rulers of the world known as Celestia, Luna, and Cadence, they wished to plunge the world into chaos and despair before finally destroying it and they wanted Twilight to head to another world ready for it to be conquered we stopped them but before we could stop her Twilight headed through the magic mirror and headed to this world. I drained the princesses of their magic as to be ready to face her and when we were ready and fixed the world we headed through the mirror to peruse her" Tirek explained.
"So Twilight knows magic?" I asked.
"Yes but that's not the biggest of your problems she feeds off of people's friendships and drains them of energy".
"So that means Oh no!" I said as I realized what she could do with that power, mainly to Sonic.
"What?" Tirek asked
"We've gotta stop her now!" I said since I knew that logically she would go after the main source of energy A.K.A Sonic. Suddenly I felt a tug on my mind and a voice enter it and at that moment I felt my mind lose control.
Red/Power/Crimson's POV
They'd been talking forever I was looking for something to fight. Then I noticed Yellow clutch his head in pain. "AHHHH!" He cried out, pain easy to see in his face.
"What's wrong Light? Talk to me!" I yelled to him. But I soon found out, I could sense a negative energy coming from Chrysalis and Tirek specifically around their heart and mind. "What are you doing to him?!" I yelled, suddenly filled with rage and my previously dim chaos aura lit up like a fuse and started emitting heat.
"Oh nothing, just giving him a little meeting of the minds," Chrysalis said, no empathy apparent on her face. I was mad now.
"Leave him alone!" I yelled as I threw two chaos spears at them to which they grabbed and absorbed, I was shocked no-one besides Sonic's friends in his dimension knew how to absorb energy and redirect unless these are energy manipulators too.
"That was quite the feast of energy totally condensed energy is the best," Tirek said, as though he eaten a snack.
"You like big guy? Try this one on for size!" I yelled as I released a Chaos arrow straight at him, to which he absorbed it all the same like it was nothing to him.
" Are you going to do anything other than feeding me as good as those snacks were I think it's time we depart and look for our real target, Right Chrysalis?" Tirek said, his head turning to Chrysalis.
"Yes we should go now, " She said, but what came next shocked us the most.
"Must serve the Emperor and Empress, must serve the Empire, must destroy Twilight Sparkle," Lightning said in a monotone voice as though he was being hypnotized.
"What? Light wait a minute you believe that Twilight is evil?" I asked perplexed, why he would say that she was evil when they clearly indicated that they seemed to be good friends.
"Twilight Sparke is the enemy and must be destroyed, goodbye, Chaos Teleport!" Light yelled and him, Tirek and Chrysalis disappeared most likely to go after Twilight but that meant... The realization hit like a ton of bricks.
Twilight wouldn't be able to handle them. "Quick! Tang send a message to Sonic to tell him to head to Twilight's position and tell him about the situation!" I said, hurriedly, I don't even know if that's a word.
"We can't contact him we don't have mobile phones!" Tang replied, at that moment my brain was going into panic mode as I just realized he was right and I started to think quickly about how we could reach him and head to protect Twilight as the main objective, then it hit me, Lightning once said that sound moves on air so we'd just have to create an air current to vocalize ourselves to Sonic. Hm seems as though I am learning something from Light.
"Ok Tang I've got an idea I'll create a wind wave and you talk," I said.
"What will that do?" Tang asked.
"It'll allow your voice to be transmitted straight to Sonic anywhere he is in the vicinity," I said as I started to flail my arms in an up and down motion to create a wave of wind.
"Talk!" I yelled.
"Maurice head to Twilight's location she's in danger from some guys called Tirek and Chrysalis their heading straight for her and they've got Lightning on their side with some sort of energy that's messing with his mind!" Tang yelled into the wave.
"Good now we need to find Twilight and the other girls," I said, concern on my face.
"Right!" Tang and Jade said. I just hope Sonic can make it I thought.
