//------------------------------// // Date with Dazzlings // Story: Sonic and Equestria Girls // by SonicAKG //------------------------------// Date with Dazzlings On a weekend night, at Sonic’s house, Manic was on his laptop on the couch, with Sonic on his right, who was watching snowboarding on the television with interest, and Shadow on his left, who had his arms folded and eyes closed with his head down. Manic had a grin on his face as he looked at his screen, and typed loudly. Manic chuckled with delight every few minutes. It began to annoy Shadow, who opened his eyes and turned to Manic as he lifted his head up with an annoyed look. “Could you stop laughing constantly? I'm trying to rest.” Shadow said annoyed. "Back off . You don’t understand what I’ve discovered and the joy it brings me” Manic said defensively with a frown as he faced him. “Getadate.com? Manic that’s the worst internet dating website there is. You should know. Remember the last time you went there and you got a date, but it turned out to be Granny Smith.” Sonic said as he looked at Manic's screen as he turned over. “Let’s not remember that” Manic said shuddering. "That was not a good Saturday. But anyway, my luck's changing. I met this really amazing girl online yesterday and we’ve been talking ever since. We have so much in common”. He sighed with happiness. “Manic, I’d be happy for you, but what I really want to know if you’re sure that it’s actually a girl that you’re talking to. There are a lot of weirdos out there.” Sonic said as he put his hand on his shoulder. "I don't see the point of this "online" social interaction." Shadow commented. “You don't like any kind of social interaction. Besides, I have a feeling that this girl is special” Manic said as he looked up with happiness. “Right. And you know this how? In fact, do you even know anything about “her”?” Sonic said making air quotation marks. “I do! Her username is Sdusk, and uh, well she goes on the internet. She...... knows how to use a computer. She can surf the web. She can type. See, that’s 4 things off the top of my head.” Manic said as he held up 4 fingers. “You don’t know anything about her at all do you? What do you guys even talk about?” Sonic said, not impressed. “Well, I tell her about how I hate living with these 2 jerks who are always putting me down and making snide remarks. You don’t know them. She tells me how she also lives with these 2 jerks who do the exact same thing.” Manic said. “Anyway, now we're talking about meeting each other tomorrow evening”. He added on as he heard a ding sound coming from his laptop and read the message he had received. “Woah, Manic. That’s not a good idea. You don’t know a thing about this girl. She could kill you or rob you or kidnap you.” Sonic cautioned. “Hmm, you’re right. I should be more careful. I know”. Manic said as he typed a message and hit send. “Thanks for the warning, Sonic. I just sent her a message saying we make it a triple meeting. She brings her friends and I bring you guys for extra safety”. Sonic and Shadow turned to Manic with looks of surprise, as if they didn't hear what he had said. “What? That’s a terrible idea. I don’t want to spend tomorrow evening meeting some stranger who I don’t even know. Count me out.” Sonic said as he stood up from the couch in front of Manic. “I have no interest” Shadow said as he tried to go back to resting. “Guys, c’mon. It wouldn’t hurt. Besides, we haven’t hung out together in a while.” Manic pleaded. “Don’t you think there’s a reason behind it?” Shadow replied bluntly. “Please, please, please, please,” Manic begged as he grabbed his hands together. Sonic and Shadow looked at each other. They then sighed. “Fine, we’ll play along for now. ” Sonic said as he gave in. Manic's face broke out into a smile. “Yes! Now to confirm for me and see if she says yes.” Manic said typing again. On the other side of the laptop in a large orange room with light yellow curtains, a slightly open blue door, and a large blue bed, Sonata Dusk , a girl with blue skin and dark blue hair with light blue stripes in a ponytail, received Manic’s message as she sat on the bed. She then jumped off the bed in joy after she had read through it. “Adagio, Aria, come quick!!!!!” she yelled happily to the door. Both of them came to her looking annoyed, as they walked through the door and entered her room. Adagio had orange skin and large frizzy orange hair with yellow highlights, while Aria had purple skin with dark purple hair in pigtails with green highlights “Why are you yelling for us to come? Did you find a way to fix our pendants?” Adagio asked. “No.” Sonata replied bluntly. “I figured as much.” Adagio said groaning as she massaged her temples. “Well, I just finished talking with this awesome guy online and we scheduled a meeting tomorrow evening.” Sonata started off. “Getting bored. What’s the point of this?” Aria said as she folded her arms with impatience. “He lives with these two other guys and asked if he could bring them along, and I said sure as long as I could bring you guys. So it’s a triple date!!” Sonata said happily as she showed them the computer screen. Both Aria and Adagio didn’t look happy at all. In fact, they looked annoyed. “Seriously? We’ve lost our magical power, need to find a way to get it back and you want to waste time on a date? You really are the worst.” Aria said as she pushed the computer screen away. “Oh yeah? Well, you’re the worsest.” Sonata replied defensively as she set down her laptop on her bed. “That’s not even a word,” Aria pointed out. “Is too!” “Is not!” “Aria, silence! I think you might be on to something, Sonata. We haven’t been able to go out much on our own due to that whole battle of the bands fiasco. But, if we go with the 3 boys Sonata mentioned then we’ll be able to blend in more easily, and search for a way to restore our magic. No one will suspect 3 teenage girls on “dates”. We're going” Adagio decided as she put her finger and thumb on her chin and smiled deviously. “Yah!!!!” Sonata shouted as she started to jump up and down. Aria didn't share her enthusiasm and looked annoyed. “No way. Bad enough that it’s a date, but now you’ve turned it into one of your schemes. You know the ones that always fail? Count me out.” Aria said she folded her arms with annoyance. “Oh, I’m so sorry. If you have any better plans than the ones that I always come up with I’d love to hear them. You know it’s strange how I always come up with the plans. I guess that’s because plans involve thinking.” Adagio told Aria as she walked up to her and got in her face. Aria glared at her. She then tried to think up of something that would shut Adagio up and be better than the plan she suggested. After a few minutes, she had nothing and just sulked even more. “Fine, I’ll go along with this plan. But if it backfires, you’ll never hear the end of it, Adagio.” Aria said as she rolled her eyes. The next day at school, Manic was walking with Sonic and Shadow as they entered the school. He was in a very good mood. He was smiling and humming and even started skipping. Sonic looked at him weirdly and just shrugged. “Manic, don’t get your hopes up. We still don’t anything about these girls." Sonic said. “I have a feeling that everything's going to be just fine! Trust me, guys, tonight’s going to be the best night ever! ” Manic said happily as he grabbed the two of them. Shadow glared at him, causing Manic to give him a nervous smile and let him go. The three of them while they were walking met up with Sunset Shimmer and Rainbow Dash in the halls. “Manic, you’re looking unnaturally happy on a school day”. Sunset noticed. “That’s because tonight, I scored a date! I met her online through this dating site. ” Manic said as he pumped his fist in the air excitedly. ‘You’re still using online dating? Don’t you remember what happened last time?’ Dash said. ‘Don't bring it up. ” Manic said as he groaned. He then smiled and regain his posture. Besides, Sonic and Shadow are coming with me. It’s a triple date!" “Wait, Sonic you’re going along with this too?” Dash asked him as she looked at him with surprise. “Yeah, I just wanna make sure Manic doesn't do anything crazy.” Sonic explained casually as he shrugged again. “Are you sure this is a good idea? What if these girls are horrible? Like they're magical creatures that want to rule the world and enslave everyone?!''. Rainbow Dash suggested out of the blue, sounding somewhat concerned. “The chances of that happening are less likely than getting struck by lightning. It’s just going to be a normal date with 3 normal girls. Though it would be kinda cool, I could always use some action..” Sonic casually replied. “ I better get going. The track meet could start any minute. Dash suddenly said as she checked her watch. She then trotted on ahead, leaving Sunset behind with the others. Sonic looked slightly puzzled. "What's with her?" He asked as he turned to Sunset, who just wore a slight smirk. "Nothing. Probably anxious for her track meet. Anyway, good luck with your dates." Sunset said as she then walked on ahead, leaving the trio behind. "I'm telling you, tonight is going to rule." Manic wishfully said. Later it was the evening, Sonic, Manic and Shadow were in Sonic's house. Manic was looking at himself in the mirror as he focused on his hair .He was spraying perfume on himself rapidly on his chest. Sonic and Shadow were sitting on the couch , the latter clearly uninterested as he had his typical frown and crossed his arms. Sonic tapped his foot quickly with impatience. “Can you stop spraying that all over yourself? I can smell it from here.” Shadow said on the couch. “I want to appear my best for this date. You guys should get ready too. Chances like this don’t come too often and I don’t need you screwing it up for me.” Manic said irritated. “Relax Manic, it’s gonna be fine. You’re going to screw it up yourself by being all nervous.” Sonic teased. He then turned to the door and did a slight frown. "Where are they anyway? I hate waiting." Just then, the doorbell rang. Manic let out a gasp as his eyes widened. “What am I doing? I can’t go through with this! I’m aborting this now!” Manic said as he grabbed his face as if he wanted to tear it off with his hands. Manic then crawled behind the couch as he dashed under it with super speed. The doorbell rang again twice. Sonic and Shadow looked down at Manic after turning from the door. “What happened to being all happy and excited?” Shadow asked him “I changed my mind. Look, guys, just get down on the floor and pretend we’re not home.” Manic instructed. The doorbell rang again. “If you’re not going to get it, then I while. You can’t wimp out at the last minute.” Sonic said as he approached the door as he rose up from the couch. “No, Sonic don’t do it!” Manic yelled as stuck his hand out. Sonic opened the door and he saw the Dazzling in front of him. Sonata had a big smile on her face with her arms behind her back. Aria just had her arms folded and wasn't even looking at him. Adagio had an uninterested look, but then she noticed Sonic and forced a smile. His eyes widened in slight surprise. Shadow saw them from the couch as he turned, but his expression remained the same. "Hi!"Adagio said with fake kindness. Sonata waved quickly while Aria still just had her grumpy expression. Manic got up from behind the couch and saw them as well. He formed an instant grin. “ Is there where Manic lives?” Adagio asked. Manic rushed past and he moved Sonic out of the way before he could respond. Manic cleared his throat, stood up straight and gave a sly smile. “Yes, yes it is. In fact, I’m Manic. Pleasure to meet you.” Manic said, trying to play it cool. “Perfect. I’m Adagio Dazzle, this is Aria Blaze and Sonata Dusk.” Adagio said introducing herself and her companions as she pointed to the two of them. “Sonata Dusk? You’re Sdusk? You’re just as pretty as I hoped.” Manic said with a wink as he looked past Adagio to Sonata. Aria rolled her eyes and Sonata just giggled. Then Sonic came next to Manic. “I didn’t get a chance to introduce myself. I’m Sonic. Fastest thing alive. Not that’s it a big deal or anything.” Sonic said as he took Adagio's hand as a gentleman would. “A pleasure.” Adagio said slyly. She took her hand away. “Didn’t you say there were 3 of you?” Aria asked as she spoke up. “Oh yeah, well over there on the couch is Shadow. He’s just my faker. You’ll probably forget about him by the time the night’s over. He has no personality aside from just frowning and crossing his arms.” Sonic said disinterested while pointing to Shadow. The Dazzlings turned to notice him. “I heard that.” Shadow said annoyed. Shadow walked up from the couch and made his way to the door and joined Sonic and Manic. The 6 of them now faced each other. “Well then, let’s begin the night. After you, ladies.” Manic said, The Dazzlings walked away from the door and outside. The three of them soon began to follow as they headed out. Manic huddled Sonic and Shadow next to him. “Guys, we hit the jackpot. I knew I had a good hunch about this.” Manic whispered with excitement. “This night could actually turn out pretty fun.” Sonic said. The two of them fist bumped. Shadow didn't respond, as he wasn't interested at all. The 6 of them met up near the road close to Sonic's house. “So boys, where's our first stop?” Adagio asked sweetly. “Well I thought we could go to-“ Manic began. “The mall.” Sonic interrupted quickly, Manic glared at him, but he didn't notice. “I heard they have a bunch of new stuff that we could check out.” “Isn’t the mall like 10 miles from here? How are we supposed to get there if we don’t have a car?” Aria asked bored. “Leave that to me.” Sonic said as pointed to himself with confidence. He then picked up Adagio in a bridal fashion. She looked at him weirdly. He gave her a smile. “Hold tight.” Sonic said as he dashed off with her, making a blue streak and causing the wind to blow. Aria and Sonata looked on shocked as their hair blew, while Shadow and Manic looked annoyed. “Show off.” Manic grumbled. Sonic then arrived at the entrance and first floor of mall instantly and put Adagio down. She looked a bit dizzy. She then looked at Sonic with awe and wonder. She couldn't believe what she had just witnessed. “Well, how was your first time taking the Sonic express?” Sonic said as he rubbed under his nose cockily. “(Sonata may have done something brilliant for the first time in her life! These boys are special! They might be the key to recovering our magic. I’ll play nice for now). Sonic, that was amazing! I’ve never seen anything like it! ” Adagio exclaimed as she clasped her hands in delight. Suddenly, a green flash appeared in front of them. The flash died down, which revealed Shadow, Manic, Aria, and Sonata. Sonata had a big smile on her face while Aria looked a little shocked as by what had just happened. Adagio looked on, astonished. She then noticed that Shadow had a green emerald in his right hand. She focused on it with great interest. “That was awesome! I’ve never moved teleported again. Can we go again? Can we, can we, can we, can we?” Sonata pestered Shadow who was ignoring her as he didn't even look at her. “Meh, whatever” Aria said as she folded her arms. “What, not surprised?” Shadow asked her. He found it odd that she wasn't even bewildered by teleporting. It wasn't something people did every day. “Teleporting just doesn’t excite me.” Aria said with boredom as she looked at her hand. “Ignore her, she’s always grumpy and being mean to people.” Sonata said. “Hey, so is Shadow” Manic added on. “I wouldn’t be all the time if I didn’t have to deal with you since you're the worst!” Shadow and Aria said simultaneously as they turned to Manic and Sonata. They both looked at each other after they both realized what they had done. Aria turned away from Shadow and folded her arms. “I’m so glad we decided to go on this date with you 3. You guys are really special.” Adagio said as regained her usual calm attitude and approached Sonic. He grinned at this. “Thanks. Now that we're here, let's have some fun!” Sonic said giving her the thumbs up. “That’s a great idea, Sonic. You guys go on ahead. We just need some time to rest. After all, it’s not every day you teleport or move at blinding speeds.” Adagio said as she wiped her forehead, pretending to be tired. Sonic, Shadow, and Manic went off ahead in the mall, leaving the three Dazzlings. “Girls, change of plans. We don’t need to look for a way to restore our pendants. The way has found us.” Adagio said as the three of them huddled in a group “The way? Who’s the way? Are we having another person on this date?” Sonata asked as she looked around, which caused Adagio and Aria to roll their eyes. “No! These 3 boys have some kind of power. If we can siphon that power for ourselves, it might be a way for us to restore our magic to full power. So for the time being, we need to get close to them earn their trust, and when the time comes, we take what we need. Play nice, especially you Aria.” Adagio said as she pointed to her. Aria frowned. “Whatever. But Adagio do you even know what kind of power they have. For all we know, it isn’t even magic. What if this blows up in our faces?” Aria said. "The more we spend time with them, the more we'll know. Besides, that black one has a green jewel, which I presume allowed him to teleport. Getting our hands on it would be a first step. Aria, make sure you get on his good side." Adagio said as she pointed to her. "I doubt he even has one. He's such a wet blanket." Aria said, again folding her arms. "I dunno, he seems to be a lot like you." Sonata pointed out. "He and I are nothing alike!" Aria insisted defensively. "It's of no concern. Just pretend to have fun." Adagio said. "I can do that!" Sonata said happily. Sonic, Manic, and Shadow walked ahead and approached the escalators. They stopped in front of them. "I can tell this is going to be a great night! Those girls are just amazing!"Manic declared. "They seem pretty cool." Sonic agreed with a nod. "I don't know yet. Something about them seems strange." Shadow said. Sonic and Manic turned at his statement. "Oh come on, lighten up for once in your life." Manic said to him. "Yeah, Shadow. Besides that purple girl reminds me a lot of you." Sonic teased. Shadow turned away, hating the idea of being compared to Aria. "Don't be simple." Shadow replied. "The similarities are uncanny. Grumpy, frowning, folding arms." Manic said as he raised three fingers. Shadow just gave him a slight glare. Just then, the three Dazzlings came up to them, with Adagio and Sonata smiling. Aria still looked uninterested before Adagio elbowed her slightly and she forced a smile. "Now that we're all here, let's do it to it!" Sonic declared, giving the thumbs up. Adagio had a sly smile. A montage of their night was shown. First, the 6 of them were in seats in a movie theater, watching a horror movie. Adagio had a surprised look on her face, while Sonic had a slight look of fear on his face as he looked on. Aria looked in delight at the screen, as she held her hands on the seat and peered closer. Shadow just had his arms folded and looked unresponsive. Manic gulped at the screen and was shaking, while Sonata had a worried look on her face. The entire audience in front of them jumped with fear, while Manic screamed and jumped in Sonata's arms. He looked at her with embarrassment as he noticed, while she just smiled. The three of them were later at a bowling alley. Sonic held a black bowling in his hands as he threw it quickly and caused a strike in no-time. Adagio and Sonata clapped at his victory, while Aria yawned. Manic then went next with a pink bowling and he winked at Sonata before he turned around and threw the bowling ball without even looking and made a strike as well. Sonata clapped with delight and stood up. Sonic smirked while Aria still looked bored. Shadow then went up with a red bowling ball and he released it at a moderate peace. The ball then went off into the side and didn't even hit any of the pins. Sonic started to laugh alongside Manic and Sonata giggled and Adagio put her hand to her mouth. Aria wasn't even paying attention. Shadow noticed Sonic's laughing and he began to grumble. He then fired a Chaos spear at the pins suddenly, which caused them to explode. Sonic looked on in shock alongside Manic and Sonata. Adagio raised an eyebrow while Aria had a slight smile on her face. Shadow dusted his hands, pleased, as other bowlers looked at him in surprise. The 6 of them then entered the arcade, where Sonic came in front of a Virtua fighter game and pointed to it. He then placed a coin inside and the game started. Sonic first played a competitive game against Manic as they both button mashed rapidly and firmly with Sonata cheering in the background. Adagio looked bored in the back as she looked around until Sonic turned back to her with a smile and she quickly clapped her hands in an attempt to appear enthusiastic. Sonic then beat Manic and Manic groaned. Shadow and Aria both looked bored as they folded their arms. Sonic then dashed Shadow in front of the game suddenly, while Adagio pushed Aria in front of as well. She gave her a firm point and Aria sighed, knowing she had no choice. Sonic patted Shadow on the back and he sighed as well. The two of them played a match, where Aria began to get into the game as her button mashing become more rapid and Shadow did the same thing, not wanting to lose at anything. They became more competitive as the sound of hitting buttons became much louder Manic and Sonata cheered, while Sonic smiled and Adagio forced one. Eventually, Aria had beaten Shadow as she crossed her arms in victory and gained a smug smile, while Shadow looked surprised at the screen. He wasn't used to losing at anything. Meanwhile in Eggman's lair, Cubot was carrying a silver metallic box with a red lid on it as Orbot followed him. The two of them were inside a small dark room, with de-activated badniks in a pile. "Do be careful with that thing. The doctor wishes for us to dispose of his newest mistake quite efficiently." Orbot instructed to Cubot. "Huh, what was that?" Cubot said as he turned around to face Orbot, and dropped the box as he put his finger on his head. There was a large crash as the box fell into the pile of de-activated badniks. "Never-mind. Well, at least it's been disposed of." Orbot said dryly, not noticing that the lid of the box had been removed. He then exited the room, followed by Cubot. As they left, inside the pile of badniks, there was a small green weed stem, with sharp teeth as it grit them. It began to spread it's vines rapidly, through the pile of badniks. The badniks were then entangled by the vines and began to remove themselves from the pile and one, by one, started to line up. A caterkillers eye's shone and then there was a crash, as a hole in the wall was made as the badniks exited them. Meanwhile, Sonic and the others were now sitting in the center of the mall at the food court, which was quite full of people. Sonic, Shadow, and Manic sat across from the Dazzlings. Manic and Sonata stared at each other with interest, making intense eye contact, while Aria had a slight smile on her face over her victory as Shadow just frowned with his typical arm fold, not over his loss. Adagio looked around, starting to lose interest, while Sonic looked at her with a smile as placed his hand on his chin. Adagio noticed this and smiled back at him. She then spoke up. "Well, boys, I have to say, this has really been a fun night." Adagio said pleasantly. Sonata nodded in agreement while looking at Manic, while Aria still had her smirk. "Glad you're enjoying it." Sonic said. "I'm having the time of my life, right guys?" Manic nodded while still looking at Sonata, while Shadow just hmphed. "So Sonic, I've noticed you're really fast. It's quite impressive, really. What's the secret of your speed?" Adagio asked intrigued. "Oh, that. Well, it's a just natural born talent. It's just part of who I am." Sonic said trying to sound cool. "It must let you do amazing things." Adagio said as she placed her hand on Sonic's. His cheek's turned a slight hint of pink. "Anything, oh I don't know, maybe, magical about it?" "Nope, not that I know of." Sonic replied casually. "This awesomeness is just 100% me." Adagio frowned a little. That was not the answer she was looking for. "(Well, doesn't look like we can siphon their energy in that case. But I could learn a thing or two about that emerald the black one has.)" Adagio thought. She nudged at Aria, who turned to her with irritation. She then pointed at Shadow, who looked off in space. Aria sighed. "So uh, Shadow, right? I've been meaning to ask, what's with that emerald of yours?" Aria asked bluntly and disinterested while not even looking at him. Shadow turned to her. "Emerald? Why do you ask?" Shadow just responded with curiosity. Adagio glared at Aria for the manner she asked it in. She then took over. "What she meant to say was, that we were just so intrigued by the sight of your emerald. You see, the three of us used to have family heirlooms, but we lost them a while ago. They were very important to us and that emerald reminded us of them greatly. We just wanted to know a little more about it." Adagio explained, trying to sound sympathetic. Aria nodded in agreement, while Manic and Sonata just continued to admire each other, not noticing everyone else. "Well, I'm not sure if I should-" Shadow began, before he was interrupted by a loud shriek, causing him to turn alongside everyone else. A girl was running away, as she screamed. People began to panic and scatter around. Sonic and the others looked as they saw a swarm of badniks, such as catterkillers, hornets, crabmeats, and motorbuzzes, each covered in green vines, swarming through the mall as people ran away. Floating ahead, was the Eggrobo, covered in green vines as well. It did a maniacal laugh. "Yes, go on!" It declared. Sonic groaned at what he saw. The Dazzlings looked slightly worried as they huddled together as the badniks approached them. Sonic, Shadow, and Manic stood up and dashed the Dazzlings away at high speed while carrying them in bridal fashion. They came near the elevator and set them down. "Don't hold me like that." Aria said as she turned away from Shadow. Shadow just hmphed slightly at her attitude. "Sonic, what's going on?!" Adagio asked him. "It's a long story, but basically killer robots. Look, I'm really sorry about this, but I need to take care of that mess." Sonic explained, slightly vexed. "Don't worry, Sonata, you're knight in shining armor is here." Manic declared as he pointed to himself. "A knight?! Where?" Sonata said as she started to look around. Manic frowned slightly and slumped his shoulders at this. Shadow and Aria both rolled their eyes as they folded their arms. "Unbelievable." They both said in union. They noticed this and turned to each other, looking strangely. Aria just frowned and turned away from him. "Let's head out!" Sonic declared, and he, Shadow, and Manic dashed away leaving, a blue, green and black trail that caused the Dazzlings hair to blow. Aria turned to Adagio after they left. "Was this part of your plan, Adagio?" She asked in annoyance. "Not exactly, but this still works to our advantage. Now, we can see what those three are really made of." Adagio said as she smirked. "So let's just sit back and enjoy the show." "A show?! I better go get popcorn!" Sonata declared as she grabbed her hands in delight. Adagio facepalmed at her being such an air head. As Sonic and the others dashed back to the badniks, Manic spoke up. "Uh guys, during all this, could you do me a solid and not show me up in front of Sonata? I need her to see how cool I am." Manic said. Sonic just shook his head while Shadow groaned. "I can't believe you." Shadow said as he turned to him. "Then just don't be too slow." Sonic responded as the three of them returned to the court, where they approached the swarm of badniks. They were everywhere and destroying things in their path such as chairs and tables. The three of them split up, with Sonic taking the middle, Shadow going to the right, and Manic taking the left. The three of them turned into streaks of their respective color and blazed through the badniks easily, causing a series of mini-explosions as they did. Sonata looked in delight as put her hands together, while Adagio watched on with admiration. Even Aria was a little impressed as her eyes widened. "Such strength and speed!" Adagio said amazed as she put her finger on her chin. As Sonic continued to dash through the badniks, he jumped over a motorbuzz and grabbed it with his hands while he was mid-air and slammed it on the ground, causing it to shatter into robotic bits. Sonic looked on at the wreckage and realized something as he looked on, puzzled. "Hey, aren't these things supposed to have little animals in them?" Sonic said as he scratched his head. "It's because they are under my control!" Sonic heard a voice say, he turned around and saw the Eggrobo hovering above him. "We meet at last, my fated arch-nemesis!" It declared. "I guess we do, whatever you are. Mind explaining who you are before you declare me your arch-enemy?" Sonic said looking up to it. "I am the Krudzu. Doctor Eggman's greatest creation! I can control other robots using my vines, as I did here. I'm going to finish you, Sonic!" It said. Sonic folded his arms, not looking impressed. Before he could speak, Manic dashed in front of him, suddenly. "No way! We're putting an end to you! How dare you endanger everyone here, especially 3 beautiful girls!" Manic said quite loudly and 'heroically.' He turned back and looked at Sonata. She waved at him with delight and he grinned. Sonic just held his head at Manic's attempt. Just then, Shadow dashed next to them quickly. "This is hardly a threat. Let's just finish this thing already." Shadow said, clearly tired of the situation. "Imbeciles! Taste my wrath!" The Krudzu declared as it fired its beam at the three of them. The three of them easily moved out of the way using their speed and then began to dash through it many times as their colored streaks, taking it apart with each dash. The Eggrobo was then reduced to a floating head mid-air and the three of them dashed through it all at once, breaking it apart. The three of them landed on the floor. The small Krudzu was sent flying all the way over on the ground and landed with a thud. As it started to stir, it was suddenly crushed by the foot of Adagio as she and the Dazzlings ran over to where Sonic and the others were. "Sorry about that whole mess. We tend to attract weird things." Sonic said as he rubbed his hand behind his head and noticed her. "Oh, no need to apologize. That was incredible!" Adagio said, making Sonic blush even more than before as his cheeks turned bright red. "How was I, Sonata? Pretty cool, right?" Manic asked her cockily as he rubbed his fist on his shirt. "That was so cool! You guys were like moving soooooo fast!" Sonata stated as she made their motion with her hand. Manic liked hearing that. He grinned slightly. "Whatever. I've seen cooler." Aria said disinterestedly as she looked around. Shadow lowered his eyelids. He couldn't believe her attitude "Anyway, Sonic, it really has been a good time getting to know a lot about you three, but I think we should call it a night. It's getting quite late and besides, after that whole fiasco, you must be awfully tired." Adagio said as she put her hand on Sonic's chin, making him blush even more. "Ah, well, I guess it is getting late. You're right." Sonic said, slightly embarrassed. "Finally." Shadow and Aria both said. Again they looked at each other after they noticed this, but this time, Shadow just gave her a slight smirk and she responded in the same way. "So, do you girls need a lift back home?" Sonic asked Adagio. "Oh no, we're fine. As I said before, you must be exhausted and I would hate to tire you out even more." Adagio said as she rubbed her finger across Sonic's chin. His face was as red as tomato now. "W-well, in that case, that's cool. I had a great time Adagio." Sonic told her. "Me too." Adagio said in a seductive voice, making Sonic's shade of red turn darker. "It was really great to meet you, Sonata. I hope we can do this again." Manic said as he faced Sonata. "This was the greatest date I've ever been on!" Sonata said as she hugged Manic tightly, making him blush and he chuckled slightly. Adagio turned to Aria, who wasn't paying attention and she noticed this. Adagio gave her a glare, and Aria sighed. "Bye." She stated without enthusiasm. The two groups then split up, with the Dazzlings walking in the opposite direction. "Did I tell you or what?" Manic said as he put his arm around Sonic happily. "Way to come through, Manic. You know, I think it's going to be nice getting to know those girls." Sonic expressed. "And Sonata was amazing! Hey, what about you, Shadow?" Manic asked as he turned to Shadow. "That's the last time I ever do something with you three." Shadow declared as he folded his arms. Meanwhile, the Dazzlings now exited the back entrance of the mall and were outside, it was night out. "That was great! Manic was so nice!" Sonata squealed. "It wasn't that bad. I'll admit, I do like Shadow's style." Aria admitted reluctantly. "This night was a perfect opportunity! Those three have amazing abilities and not to mention that emerald with them. Now that we know of them, we can work towards using them to regain our power and bring this world to its knees!" Adagio declared as she raised her hands up in power. She then let out an evil laugh.
