//------------------------------// // Discord's Defeat // Story: Sonic: Dimensional Chaos // by HedgehogofRed1999 //------------------------------// Sonic was stood in silence as the three boys had a look of rage, gleaming in their eyes. "Listen! Please! I don't know where they've gone, All I know is they've gone with my brothers." Sonic pleaded. "LIES! WHERE ARE THEY!?" The boys asked again, now more enraged, and the fire of rage burning within their irises. "Where is Rainbow Dash? Where is my Sister? Tell me!" Spectom said, now grabbing Sonic by the collar of his shirt, and lifting him up to look directly into his eyes and see that he wasn't asking for pleas or sorry's, he was a brother on a mission and wouldn't let anyone stop him from getting his sister back. "I don't know! Get OFF ME!" Sonic said, summoning winds to flow in through the windows at crazy speeds, to which Spectrum released his grip on Sonic and backed away. "Listen! I know that they've gone to another dimension but I don't know where" Sonic explained. "That can't be right, if they were in their world of Equestria then they would've said goodbye, you're lying!" Big Macintosh said as Sonic let his guard down, and as such Big Mac charged at him and barged him over to the floor. Then that means… Sonic thought as he got back up, from the ground, truth be told Big Mac didn't hurt Sonic, but Sonic still grunted to make it seem as though he was still a normal kid, to which that façade dropped and crashed in front of him. "So you're from another dimension too?" Big Mac questioned. Greeat Sonic why not just tell him about your clones too. Sonic thought. "…Yes, I'm from a different dimension, different from Twilight's, and I can't tell you any more than that I... I've got to go, don't worry I'll get her back, sorry Luna, sorry Celestia, I tried to live in a world that doesn't want me and in return I don't belong here anyway" Sonic said, to Luna, and Celestia had burst in moments ago to prevent a fight from breaking out. "And most of all I'm sorry about lying to you Vinyl, and for not telling you, I just didn't want you… or anyone to get involved in my mission and now my mission draws me away from this world… goodbye" Sonic said, as he sped off, a single tear of unhappiness dropping from his face. As Sonic got to his house he placed his hand on the floor to try to sense Robotnik and almost immediately got a huge surge of kinetic energy, in a factory not too far away. "I hate to do this to all my friends in this dimension but I gotta get home" Sonic said out loud to himself, as he sped off in the direction of the energy signal. In Robotnik's Factory As Robotnik started fixing his Egghog robot he couldn't help but work with slight urgency, not because he was afraid of Sonic, more he was eager to unleash this newest machine on Sonic and destroy him, until he felt and all too familiar gust of wind, which raised the hairs on his body in anticipation. "You're never very subtle about your entrance are you Sonic? Maurice, whatever I should call you now" Robotnik laughed in a sadistic tone, hoping to get under Sonic's skin with that call-back to Sonic's less than stellar past. "Ok Robotnik, you got me I'm not made of stone or have such a great past but come on! You should know that the same trick doesn't work twice, in any case, I'm not here to fight… I'm here to… to make a deal" Sonic replied, being as direct as possible. "Hmm? What's this? My number one nuisance is willing to make a deal? You must be very desperate" Robotnik said, a smirk, creeping onto his face. "Yeah the deal is, you help me get these girls back to their dimension and we head back to Mobius on top I'll give you the Chaos emeralds, and we have one last fight to end our sad saga, which has been going on since I was 9" Sonic said, no jokey demeanour or tone coming from his lips, for a rare moment, Sonic was being serious. " Hm it must be serious, you've never requested something like this from me, even down to threatening the well-being of Mobius, fine… only one problem, there is no way to get back without Chaos energy and since the Chaos Emeralds are back on Mobius we have no way to get back" Robotnik explained. "I'll be the power source, I may not have my Chaos Powers anymore and lost my link to chaos energy…" Sonic began "Wait!? You lost your chaos powers and your link to chaos energy!?" Robotnik interrupted. "…Yes, It got taken by a guy called Tirek from my friend, Twilight's world, in any case how come you didn't recognise before when I was on the street? When your lame robot was tearing up the city?" Sonic asked, perplexed at how Robotnik didn't recognise him before. "Seems like your friend Kint has more power than I originally thought, he had enough fight in him to mess with my brain, you see usually I'm the dominant personality but he made one last strike against my brain, due to the sudden fight in my brain I couldn't piece our history together" Robotnik explained. "So Kint's alive?" Sonic asked "Yes, in my mind, but still we can't get to Mobius without using chaos energy" Robotnik stated. "Are you forgetting something Robutnik?" Sonic asked. "What?" Robotnik questioned, unsure of where Sonic was going with this point. "You are a person who can harness Chaos energy, you are, for lack of a better term, my friend just swarming with negative energy" Sonic simply said "How do I bring it out then?" Robotnik pondered. "I know I'm going to regret this but… think of death, destruction, and negative things, and also think of Mobius and ruling it, just like the chaos emeralds that turn thoughts into power your thoughts turn into energy as well" Sonic explained. Robotnik paused and held out his hands and started to imagine negative images flowing through his brain and noticed his hands starting to glow with black energy, "This is incredible, this is what it's like every day, why have you never ever tried to rule the world with this power?!" He asked Sonic, to which Sonic just glared at him almost torn between smiling for thinking his nemesis had some actual good in him, but then glared at him with a serious look adorning his features. "I'm a hero, not a tyrant. Ruling over the world is something Scourge would do, I'm not him, and never will be, so don't ask me that again" Sonic said, bluntly no laughter emanating from his voice. "OK, 'uptight hero' what's next?" the bloated man asked. "OK first off try to feel the energy almost flow off your fingers and start clenching your hands together to condense the energy to be a physical energy and rotate your arm to create a portal to Mobius, remember think of Mobius to go to it" Sonic instructed, to which Robotnik immediately followed to the letter and within a few minutes the portal was made. "Ok now let's get them back," Sonic said. "Hm, I'm surprised you're trusting me so easily, y'know I could easily betray you," Robotnik said, bringing up the paradox of a hero trusting a villain. "You're my only chance of getting the girls back, I… I may not be able to trust you but I can't just do nothing whilst Tirek uses my power on Mobius" Sonic replied "Tirek is not in your dimension, blue hero…ngh, he's in ours" A wounded creature moaned, coming out of the shadows, to reveal itself to be a creature made out of other animals, like a goat, a bear, a chicken and a dragon, he quickly lost consciousness and past out. "He's from Twilight's world he's hurt real bad, we gotta help him, " Sonic said, as he felt the creature's kinetic energy pattern. "Leave him, he's dead weight, and he'll be dead anyway, we can't do anything for him regardless, so waste your time with him, I'm going to be focusing on the mission at hand and you either join me or our short-lived truce is over and I'll leave you in this world" Robotnik threatened. "NO! NO way am I letting you go, we either go together to Mobius or we heal this guy, go to Twilight's dimension, and take down Tirek! So if you want to go, then fine go! I'm going to get this guy healed and find another way to get Twilight dimension and then get my powers back, and save the world from whatever is going on there". Sonic said, not backing down and his voice rising to challenge his nemesis in authority. "Fine we'll go to get your powers back, but what about your friends?" Robotnik laughed, under his breath. "There is no imminent threat bigger right now than Tirek since he's got my powers and is learning how to use them, if he gains full control he'll be able to destroy dimensions without so much as batting an eye" Sonic explained. "Ok good plan so far, how do we wake up this pathetic mesh of flesh?" his enemy asked. "All we can do now is wait, I'll bring some supplies and get us ready to go, you probably don't want anything to eat anyway but we gotta get this guy some food, he is pretty beat up, see you in a few minutes" Sonic answered before blasting off to the store. "Hm, pathetic fool, his mercy is going to get him killed one of these days, almost did from Tirek, but whatever, once we fight on Mobius I'll kill him and take over the worlds." 20 minutes later "What took you so long?" Robotnik questioned. "Just trying to figure out what to get, since I don't know this guy's diet" Sonic replied "I think he's coming too anyway so that food was a waste" his foe laughed. "Ugh… Where am I?" The creature asked. "You're in another dimension from your one, do you know Twilight Sparkle?" Sonic asked. "The princess! Is she ok?" The creature asked. "To my knowledge, yes she's ok being alongside my clones" Sonic answered. "In any case, what's your name?" Robotnik sternly asked. "Discord, I'm the embodiment of Chaos and Disharmony in my world, though two years ago I guess you could say I reformed, more focusing on the power of friendship and love" Discord explained. At this point, Robotnik was crying with laughter on the floor. "Ooh ha-ha! That's rich, an embodiment of Chaos turning away from his initial programming, oh I think you and metal would get along just fine, and you, going all lovey dovey over some girls who have done nothing to benefit you? You are a highly illogical miss match" Robotnik said, rolling on the floor laughing. If you're a brony that moment probably stung more than it should have. (Anyway back to the story.) "Shut up ' Eggman' " Sonic laughed, as his enemy started to lose his cool at being mocked by his nickname again. "In any case Discord, How did you get here?" Sonic asked, focusing on the task at hand. "Well…" Discord began. Flashback 1 week ago "Princess, Crystal Kingdom has fallen, Cadence and Shining Amour have been captured, Tirek and Chrysalis' army are approaching fast, they will be here within a few days as to prepare to take Canterlot" Discord explained. "What of the Main Six?" Celestia, white coated pony with an elegant horn and glistening tiara and symbol of the sun on her flank asked. "I've tried to make contact but Tirek's influence is preventing me from leaving this dimension he can sense when I make a portal and he can cause an imbalance in the portal, which if I try to go through will harm me, sadly to say, we are on our own" Discord, said, sombrely, as to make it clear he had given up and was willing to still fight to the very end. "What if we power the portal alongside you?" Luna, a purple pony with black blotches on her flank alongside a symbol asked. "That could work but we have to act quickly and find a way to fuse our energies together" Discord, said his eyes beaming with hope again. "We'll make it happen," Celestia said, beaming as to almost out do Discord. 2 days later "Ok I think we've got it," Discord said, breathing heavily and showing signs of slight burns on his body from when the energies hadn't combined properly. "Let's try this one last time!" Celestia declared in defiance, not about to have their world go to ruin. "Let's do this Sister!" Luna stated, in a competitive state of defiance as her older sister. They began to force their energies out and started to solidify the energies around each other. "Ok, now we all must meld this energy in the same direction!" Discord said, as his hand started to physically grab the energy "Right!" Both royal sisters agreed, as they joined Discord in grabbing the energy and rotating it in the same direction, only to be suddenly frightened by the sound of a skirmish below them in the entrance to the castle, which they immediately knew had to be Tirek, he was about to kill them and they were sitting ducks. This realization hit them all and all caused them to shiver in uncertainty at the risk they were taking. "KEEP ROTATING THIS IS OUR ONLY CHANCE!" Discord yelled, to which they nodded and kept rotating and focusing their energies into this portal. This was their last chance and if they didn't at least try this then they would not know if it could work. Suddenly the throne room doors were thrown over their heads, and as they completed their portal they saw a devilish silhouette in the dust that had been created. "Princess… Princess" The silhouette said, becoming larger and more menacing. "Ok Celestia, Luna, when I charge you go through the portal, he's after you too so if I can close the portal after you, assuming I'm not too beaten up, you should; Find Twilight, Bring her back here and have her be teleported to the Tree of Harmony to gain their bearer forms" Discord whispered to which a teary eyed Celestia and Luna shake their heads. "NO! We won't have you sacrifice yourself to him! You are only one out of all of us who can cast a Dimensional spell to get them back since our mirror is broken!" The sisters cried. "Better for me to die than for Equestria to fall under his law due to him draining you!" Discord yelled back. "Discord, Equestria is already under his rule we are the last defense and can't win we need you to be our bridge of these worlds" Celestia replied. "CELESTIA! LUNA! LOOK OUT!" Discord yelled as he tackled them to the floor to avoid a dark energy blast. Unfortunately, Discord was hit square on and forced beside the 'Seats of the Rulers' "Ahh… Discord, working with filth that should not be in our new world SON!" Tirek said as he walked past the dust and his Primordial Form stood before them. (Primordial Form=the design of Tirek from his fight with Twilight) "Oh no," Discord said, with a quake of fear rattling his whole body. "So nice of you to keep Luna around especially since she can be of some use to us" The devilish monster laughed. "Nightmare Moon will never be reborn, not when there is still a breath in my body!" Discord replied, angrily and having his premature fear leave him. "So very good SON!" Tirek replied "I'M NOT YOUR SON!" Discord screamed as he went berserk with anger blazing a path of chaos and destruction following his wake. "Chaos Annihilation!" Discord screamed as his dark black energy, switched to red to symbolize Discord's rage. The energy attack hit dead on and Discord physically and mentally drained from not only being the conduit for the portal to Equestria but also using his strongest attack against Tirek left him on the very of dying from exhaustion. Discord smiled a little knowing that he had at least damaged Tirek somewhat from the attack as when Tirek reemerged he had several scorch marks on Tirek. Though in the midst of Discord's mash up of feelings Tirek grabbed the weakened Discord and threw him through the portal. To which Disord yelled out "NO!" As the last he saw before the portal closed was both royal sisters being mercilessly beaten and Tirek saying "It's very sweet how he tried to protect but just like everything else my SON tries he fails at even the simplest of Tasks!" Discord landed on the dirt outside of the city that Sonic had roamed through and had risen up, which was difficult at first as his energy drain had left barely able to walk, though before he blacked out he said. "I promise you Celestia and Luna that I will save you, and get your student back… ugh… and I will make that Monster pay for all he's done to you, if I ever see you again I want you to remember Celestia that I will always serve you even through different dimensions, time and space… and even in my dying breath I will always serve you" He finished passing out on the ground below him.
