//------------------------------// // Chao part 1 // Story: Sonic and Equestria Girls // by SonicAKG //------------------------------// Chao chapter It was a weekend morning in Canterlot High. The entire school was typically empty save for one room. The Rainbooms except Sunset were in the band room with their instruments alongside Sonic, Knuckles, Tails, and Manic. Rainbow Dash had an impatient look on her face and she strutted around the room impatiently, walking back and forth. “Where’s Sunset? We’re supposed to be practicing and she was supposed to be here 30 minutes ago!” Rainbow Dash said with irritation. “It’s not like her to be late.” AppleJack commented as she tuned her guitar. “Do you think we should be worried?” “I doubt it. I’m pretty sure magical threats or whatever have better things to do at 7:45 in the morning.” Sonic replied calmly as he pointed to the clock while sitting in his chair with his arms on handles in a relaxed manner. ”I’ve already called her like 5 times! If she’s not here soon, then we’ll have to find some other time to practice and there aren’t many other times left!” Rainbow Dash said more annoyed. “Maybe she has something important to do.” Fluttershy suggested. “What could be more important than practicing with the most awesome band ever?” Rainbow Dash replied. “I can think of 10 reasons off the top of my head.” Manic muttered near the window. Rainbow Dash glared at him slightly. Just then Sunset burst into the room through the doors. She seemed tired and out of breath. She put her hands on her knees to catch her breath. She was holding in her hand a device that was purple with a blank dark screen. It was shaped like the EQG logo. “Sunset darling, where have you been?” Rarity asked. “You were supposed to be here 30 minutes ago! Band practice almost got canceled!” Rainbow Dash yelled. “Sorry, I’m late. I had something really important to do. I was just putting the finishing touches on my latest invention.” Sunset explained as she stood up straight. “Told you.” Manic whispered to Rainbow Dash. She glared at him some more. Sunset held up her portable device high for everyone to see. “That looks great. What does it do?” Tails said intrigued. “Well, you know how magical threats are always just randomly showing up and always taking us by surprise?” Sunset began. “Surprise? We deal with crazy stuff like 24/7. Honestly at this point, it’s just a hobby.” Sonic replied with his eyelids dropping. “True, but I still figured we need something to keep track of all it and be prepared. So that’s why I invented a magic detector. It can detect the slightest trace of magic.” Sunset shared. “A detector? That sounds wonderful! It can give me time to at least choose my outfit before I go battling some monster.” Rarity said pleased as she clasped her hands together. “Not the point here.” AppleJack replied slightly annoyed. “I’ll give you all a demonstration,” Sunset said. She then pressed the top button on her device and the screen lit up as purple to show that it was activated. “Pretty!” Pinkie Pie exclaimed. The screen of the device then began to flash red repeatedly and made a large beeping sound. It got everyone’s attention. “That thing's going crazy. What’s going on?” Knuckles asked. “That’s when it’s detected magic. It must mean there’s a magical threat going on!” Sunset declared. “At this time? Really, I guess I was wrong about magical threats having nothing better to do in the morning.” Sonic commented as he got up from his chair. “We should check it out.” “But band practice..” Rainbow Dash protested a little. Sonic rolled his eyes. “We can do that later.” Sunset replied. “But-“ Rainbow Dash started again. “Think of it this way. If that magic monster or whatever comes here and destroys the school, then you won’t even have anywhere to practice.” Manic pointed out as he approached her. Rainbow Dash folded her arms. “Sonic, can you notify Shadow and Silver? The magic reading I’m getting is huge. We could use all the help we need.” Sunset said. “Sure, though we probably don’t need that faker’s help.” Sonic replied as he got out his phone and sent a text to Shadow and Silver while everyone else headed outside. A little while later, Silver came to the entrance of the school via floating and he descended down. Shadow teleported next to him instantly. “What’s up?” Silver asked. “This better not be just a waste of my time.” Shadow said. “Chill out faker, it’s some magical threat.” Sonic replied casually. “Now that’s everyone here, let’s do it to it.” The group headed out with Sonic grabbing Tails and Sunset’s arm as he burst with speed. Shadow and Manic dashed to keep up with him, while Knuckles glided. Silver used his psychic powers to lift up the rest of the Rainbooms with him, causing them to be in a green aura, and he flew after him. “I hope it’s not something too scary or mean.” Fluttershy said with worry. “No worries, we’ll finish this 10 seconds top.” Manic said to reassure her. Sonic and co dashed through Canterlot as Sunset looked at the screen of her detector. It began to flash bright pink and much more rapidly as they moved on. “We must be getting closer to the source. My readings are getting stronger.” Sunset commented. The screen then began to flash purple at high speeds. “Ok, stop here.” Sonic stopped in the middle of a green forest that was covered in grass on the ground and trees each with many leaves, leaving not much sunlight to pass through. Everyone else stopped as well. Sonic looked around and he tapped his foot impatiently and rapidly. “I don’t see anything here.” Knuckles said as he looked around. “This can’t be right. My magic detector gives off the strongest reading right here. There’s got to be something here.” Sunset said as she looked at her device. Everyone looked around but there was nothing. Everything seemed normal as the leaves of the trees rustled. “I don’t understand.” Sunset said confused as she put her hand to her head. “You told me that this wouldn’t be a waste of time.” Shadow told Sonic with irritation as he approached him. “Hey, the magic detectors the thing that messed up. Don’t look at me.” Sonic said defensively as he raised his hands in defense “It’s not messed up. There should be something here.” Sunset said confused still. “I missed band practice for nothing! “Rainbow Dash said clearly disappointed. She stomped her foot on the ground to show this. Tails began to walk further in the forest. As he did, he felt his shoe step on something. He heard a crunching sound. Tails looked down and he saw a blue key, with a top that resembled a chao head. Tails picked it up. “What’s this?” Tails wondered as he held it in his hands. “What’ve you got there buddy?” Sonic asked as he noticed Tails observing the key. The key then began to glow bright blue and it lifted itself up from Tails hand. Everyone turned in the direction of the key. Sunset's device began to flash rapidly again. “Aha, there it is!” Sunset exclaimed. The key then gave off a bright white light that enveloped everyone there. The light faded and everyone looked around. They were no longer in the forest. Rather they were in a place that had green grass and palm trees growing coconuts. The sky was blue with a few clouds and the sun shone brightly. “Cool!” Pinkie Pie said happily. “Where in tarnation are we?” AppleJack asked as she looked around. “I don’t need to be transported to another dimension in the morning.” Manic grumbled. Sunsets device still began to flash rapidly. “Wherever we are, it must be the source of the magic reading.” Sunset commented. There were sounds made. It sounded like little babies or creatures giggling and laughing alongside water splashing. “Well, at least that doesn’t sound dangerous.” Manic said. Sonic and the others followed the noises. They followed the noises to in front of large green hedge that was Sonic's height. They went through the green hedge and saw a blue lake. Near and in it, there were many Chao playing inside. They were small, around the size of babies. They had light blue pudding like bodies with no fingers or toes. At the end of their arms and feets, were yellow shades. They had yellow spheres hovering around their heads. Some were splashing while others floated around it. “Awwww!” Pinkie Pie exclaimed. “They're adorable!” “How precious!” Rarity squealed as she held her hands to her face. Sunset looked down at her screen and saw that it was still flashing purple. “These are the source of my magic reading? They look harmless.” Sunset said looking up from her screen with a confused expression. “This is what I was called for?” Shadow said annoyed as he folded his arms. “A place full of Chao? Cool.” Sonic uttered. “Chao?” Rainbow Dash said with confusion. “That's the name of these things. Species is called Chao.” Tails explained. "Right. I remember my master explaining about them to me." Silver suddenly recalled. "He also told me that they like to live in things called a Chao Garden. This must be one." "Fittin' that such cute critters have a cute name." AppleJack commented with a smile. "You're right! Just the word is adorable!" Fluttershy agreed. “Incredible. Can you guys tell me more about them? This is an amazing discovery!” Sunset said intrigued. “We've come across the Chao a lot and even know a friend who owns one. Basically, they're like pets. Thought I haven't spent too much time with one to know that much about them." Knuckles elaborated. The Chao began to crowd around Sonic and the others. Sonic bent down and he petted one. It smiled in delight. Sonic smirked a little. “They seem friendly.” Fluttershy said as she picked one up. It smiled at her and laughed a little. "Who would've thought there'd be a Chao Garden here of all places?" Manic stated. A couple of Chao came up to Shadow. Shadow just hmphed and turned away from them, making the Chao confused. “Come on, Shadow. Even you can’t resist how cute they are.” Manic said as he tickled one, making it smile. “Well, we’ve found the source of magic. Now, what do we do?” Knuckles asked as Chao surrounded him. “Tails, do you know anything more about the Chao?” Sunset asked as she petted one. Pinkie Pie had a bunch surrounding her as she laid down on the ground. She scooped them up and hugged them, causing them to all smile. “Hmm, based on what I've observed, it appears their environment influences how they grow.” Tails said. "That sounds about right. I remember my master describing Chao's taking on various appearances and abilities based on who they were with." Silver added while a Chao entered his hair. “Interesting.” Sunset said. She then got an idea, which was shown by her eyes widening. “Guys, I have an idea.” Everyone turned to her in order to hear what she had in mind. “What Silver and Tails said about them really got me thinking. I really want to know more about these creatures, so I suggest an experiment. Why don’t we take some home with us and raise them? See how they turn out.” Sunset suggested. “Sounds good to me. I could spend the day with a Chao.” Sonic agreed. “Another pet? I’m not sure I have the time for one.” Rainbow Dash said unsurely. “I as well.” Rarity commented. “I have a solution to that. Aside from our busy lives and I don’t want us to take too many of them, why don’t we raise them in pairs?” Sunset suggested. “Pairs?! That sounds so much fun!” Pinkie Pie said. “Can we choose our partners?” “Sure thing.” Sunset responded. “Then I pick Shadow!” Pinkie Pie said as she dashed over to Shadow while carrying a Chao. Shadow’s eyes widened. “What? You want me to raise a living being with her?” Shadow asked in disbelief as he pointed to her. “It’ll be fun!” Pinkie said happily. Shadow just folded his arms and lowered his eyebrows. “Well, I need someone almost as elegant and stylish as me to assist me. How about you Silver?.” Rarity said as she turned to Silver. “Uh, sure.” Silver replied nervously. “Cool. Dash, since you and I have a lot common, why don’t we take care of one?” Sonic suggested to Rainbow Dash. She nodded in agreement. “Since you’re good with animals and I guess this thing is an animal, Fluttershy, wanna pair up with me?” Manic asked. Fluttershy got a little embarrassed and shrank back a bit. “I’ll take that as a yes.” Manic said. “Knuckles?” AppleJack said as she turned to him. Knuckles gave her the thumbs up. “Great, then that leaves you and me Tails.” Sunset said. “Yeah, no problem.” Tails complied. Each of the pairs picked out one Chao to take with them. They all were together in a circle. “Ok, so how do we get out here?” Sonic wondered. Just then, another Chao Key came down from the sky, causing everyone to look up at it. The key glowed again and enveloped everyone in a bright light. The light faded again and everyone was back in the forest. It was still the morning. "It's settled then. We should each go our separate ways with our Chao and then we'll meet up later to discuss our progress." Sunset said, causing everyone to nod and separate out. Silver and Rarity headed off in the far right, with Rarity holding the Chao in her hand as they exited the forest. "Aren't you just the cutest little thing?" Rarity cooed at the Chao, making it giggle happily. Rarity then noticed a buzzing sound coming from her phone. Rarity then handed the Chao to Silver in order to read her phone. "Oh, I almost forget! I promised my parents that we would have brunch at this hour. We should get going." Rarity exclaimed as she took off, leaving Silver behind. "Wait up." Silver called back and he took after her, entering the city. The two of them came in front of her house and Rarity knocked on the door. "How do we explain this to your parents?" Silver asked as he pointed to the Chao. "Oh, they won't be too surprised. I'll just say it's a new kind of pet or something." Rarity said nonchalantly. The door opened and Hondo Flanks opened up. He noticed the two of them and his face broke out in a smile. "Rarity, glad you weren't late. And Silver! Oh, it's so nice to see you! I'm glad my little Rarity found the right guy!" He remarked as he patted Silver on the back. Silver looked a little confused and he looked at Rarity. "Honey, Rarity's here and she brought Silver!" Hondo Flanks called out as he entered the house. Silver and Rarity followed soon after with the Chao in the living room. "What does he mean 'found the right guy'?" Silver asked her. "Oh, they might have the impression that you and I are still an item." Rarity responded. "What! You mean that you never told them?!" Silver said in surprise. The Chao looked up at him due to this. "It just slipped my mind." Rarity explained. Cookie Crumbles shortly entered the room alongside Sweetie Bell from upstairs. "Silver, I'm so glad you could have joined us!" She said as she hugged Silver tightly. He looked a little uncomfortable. "What's this thing?" Sweetie Belle asked as she pointed to the Chao that Silver was holding. It smiled at her. Her whole family was focused on it by then. "This little darling is known as a Chao. We stumbled upon a garden full of them this morning and decided to take some and raise them." Rarity explained. The Chao waved playfully at her family, causing them to aww at its cuteness. "That's just wonderful Rarity. We could always use a new addition to the family!" Cookie Crumbles remarked as she put her hands together. "Speaking of family, Silver we never really got to know anything about you last time you were here. What's your family like?" Hondo Flanks asked him. "Oh well, I never really got to know my family." Silver explained as he tickled the Chao slightly. Hondo and Cookie gasped at his answer. "That's horrible sweetie!" Cookie Crumbles replied. "Well, you don't have to worry. From now on, just think of us as your family!" Hondo Flanks replied, making Silvers' eyes widen. "Oh no, that's ok. I'm fine really. " Silver started to say before Hondo and the rest of them embraced Silver. The Chao purred at the hug. Silver looked at Rarity with worry and she just shrugged at him. Manic and Fluttershy entered the Canterlot Animal Shelter, with Fluttershy holding the Chao. It had an unresponsive look on its face and just looked around, noticing all the animals inside. "Why are we coming here?" Manic asked. "Silver said that this thing is like a pet right? So this is the perfect place to raise it." Fluttershy explained. She petted it on the head but the Chao didn't respond at all. Fluttershy brought it up to her face. "We're going to take good care of you." Fluttershy told it. It wasn't even paying attention to her, it just looked around the animal shelter. Fluttershy made a confused expression and she set it down on the ground. "Manic , can you keep him company for a bit? I'm going to head to the back of the room to look for supplies." Fluttershy said as she headed to the back, leaving Manic alone with the Chao. The Chao looked up at him and began to smile and giggle. Manic looked disinterested. "So, uh what can you do exactly?" Manic asked as he looked down on the Chao. The Chao reached up to him as if it wanted him to pick it up. Manic looked at it strangely. "Settle down, little guy." Manic told it. The Chao still reached up to him, making Manic look a little uncomfortable and he retracted a little bit back from it.. Manic then took out his drumsticks from his pocket and gave them to the Chao. "Here, why don't you play with these?" Manic said. The Chao took the drumsticks and just held them. It looked confused on what to do as it stared at them. "You use them like this." Manic said as he took the drumsticks back and started playing a beat on the floor as he crouched down. The Chao clapped its hands in delight at the noise made. Manic then handed them back to the Chao and it repeated what Manic did as he stood back up. "That's more like it." Manic said. The Chao then started going around the animal shelter and tapping things with the drumsticks. The animals in their cages noticed this and turned their attention to the Chao. Then Fluttershy came in, with a yellow bouncy ball, a blue soft baby blanket and a clear plastic little animal play pen with six sides. She noticed the Chao and out down the supplies. "Look what I taught him to do. Pretty cool right?" Manic commented. "That's amazing. You're quite talented." Fluttershy said as she knelt down to the Chao. The Chao looked at her with a blank expression and turned away from her. It went back to using the drumsticks and started flying around the animal shelter slowly, hitting anything such as the ceiling or reception desk. "Was it something I said?" Fluttershy wondered. "I dunno, maybe it just doesn't like you." Manic suggested,causing Fluttershy to develop a look of worry. "That...canot be right....all pets...love me." Fluttershy said a little unhinged as the Chao flew around and her right eye twitched slightly. Knuckles and AppleJack entered Sweet Apple Acres. The Chao was on Knuckle's back and pulled on his hair, causing Knuckles to wince slightly. "So, how do you plan on raising it?" Knuckles asked as he removed the Chao from his back and held it in his hands. "I think that the best we can do is teach it good morals." AppleJack said. "Morals?" Knuckles said. He and the Chao both had confused looks on their faces. "Yeah, like the moral of hard work. I had us bring it here so that the little fella can see a hard's days work and pick up good habits from it." AppleJack explained as she approached the barn. "Wait a minute, so you plan for us to spend the whole day working here to teach this thing a lesson?"Knuckles said. "That's right. We should get started." AppleJack declared. Knuckles sighed. He knew that there would be no point in arguing. He approached AppleJack with the Chao. A montage of the two of them working was then shown. AppleJack placed the Chao in front of her and she began to mow the lawn with a red lawnmower. The Chao looked on for a while as she moved to the next row before it floated up and began to follow her as she mowed. She noticed this and nodded her head. Later Knuckles had a bunch of grapes in front of him in a barrel with the Chao next to him. Knuckles clenched his fist and placed it inside and began to crush them in order to make juice. He did this for a while until the Chao joined him. Knuckles smirked slightly. AppleJack then began to paint the sides of the house red with a large paintbrush slowly as the Chao was next to her. The Chao observed her working and it floated up and brought the red paint jar to her. She turned to it and she smiled at it. Later the three of them were in front of a large apple tree. Knuckles wound up his fist and he hit the tree with some force, causing it to shake and apples dropped from it. AppleJack collected them in a basket. The Chao floated up and came next to the tree. The Chao mimicked Knuckles and punched the tree. However, the tree broke and came crashing down. AppleJack looked on in surprise as the tree fell and crushed Knuckles underneath it as his eyes widened in worry as the tree's shadow came to him. She and the Chao came to the tree on the floor. "Knuckles, are you ok?" AppleJack asked. Knuckles lifted the tree off of him as he grunted and it fell down the opposite side of him. He looked slightly irritated. "Yeah, I'm fine." He grumbled. "I didn't figure such a little guy could be so strong." "Yer right,I-"AppleJack said before the Chao lifted her up and floated up in the air. The Chao laughed and began to twirl her around. Knuckles chuckled a little. "H-hey, knock it off." AppleJack yelled as she twirled. The Chao then stopped twirling her and she was quite dizzy. The Chao then smiled and threw her high up in the air using great strength. She screamed as she was sent high up in the air to the sky. Knuckles and the Chao looked up in the air. "You know, she's gonna be really mad when she comes back down." Knuckles told it. In Pinkie Pie's house, Shadow was sitting on the couch in the living room. He had his arms folded and he looked like he'd rather be doing something else. In the same room, Pinkie was playing a game with the Chao on the carpet. She got out three cupcakes, vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate. She then placed a small pink container over each of them and shifted them around. The Chao looked in confusion. Finally, she stopped moving them. "All right, which one do you think is the chocolate under?" Pinkie asked. The Chao looked at each of the three containers for a while with its hand to its mouth. Eventually, it picked the one in the center. Pinkie took off the container to reveal a chocolate cupcake underneath. "You're right! You deserve a reward!" Pinkie declared. She handed the Chao the cupcake and it ate it happily. "Shadow, come quickly. Our little Chao is so smart!" Pinkie called over to him. "It's not our thing. Anyway, I don't see the point of this. You seem to have everything under control. I'm out of here." Shadow said as he rose from the couch and headed to the door. However, Pinkie dashed in front of him, holding the Chao. "You can't leave silly! Sunset said we both have to watch it. Besides, how can you not want to spend time with it?" She said as she held the Chao in front of him. It giggled at Shadow but he did not respond at all. The Chao looked puzzled. It then flew out of Pinkie's hand and flew out of the living room into the kitchen. "What's it doing?" Shadow asked. Pinkie just shrugged. Then the sound of a cannon being fired was heard and Shadow was shot through the door. He landed outside covered in confetti. He looked displeased. The Chao held the cannon in its hand and laughed as it floated. "My party cannon! You sure know how to have fun!" Pinkie exclaimed. "And I've just been given a reason not to want to spend time with it." Shadow remarked. He then teleported away after he stood back up. The Chao looked a little confused and Pinkie came next to it. "Don't worry. I'll find him using my Pinkie sense. Ooooh, we're playing hide and seek!" Pinkie said. She and the Chao then went outside. In Sunsets lab, she and Tails entered as she carried the Chao in her hands. Tails seemed a little anxious and he cleared this throat in order to speak up. "So Sunset, not gonna lie, I'm kind of nervous. I mean taking care of a live thing is a lot of responsibility" Tails admitted. "It'll be fine. It's probably like taking care of a pet" Sunset replied simply without looking at him, which didn't help Tails's uneasiness. "I've never done that before either. Tails answered. "Don't worry about it. We're both pretty smart, we'll manage. Compared to all the stuff you've done, this should be a cakewalk." Sunset responded as she cradled the Chao in her arms, causing it to smile. " Well, you do have a point there. Tails agreed. "Ok, let's get started." Sunset set the Chao down behind a monitoring screen. She then went into a closet and put on a white lab coat and black gloves. "Uh, what are you doing?" Tails asked her. "I'm going to gather data as you spend time with it. Allowing me to know a lot about their species." Sunset said as she put black wires on the Chao. It looked a little scared and began to shake a little. "Don't worry, these are harmless." Sunset reassured it as she patted it on the head, making it stop shaking. "Now Tails, I want you to start playing with it, treating it nicely. Don't mind me, it'll be like I'm not even here ." Tails looked a little unsure but he just shrugged. Tails then sat down next to Chao while Sunset went up and observed them through her machine. Tails petted the Chao on the head, causing it to smile and purr with delight. On her screen, Sunset saw pink waves and she took notes from them. "Now, try something else." Sunset called back to Tails. "This data is valuable." A montage was then shown with Tails doing various activities with it. Tails was holding it in his arms and Sunset took notes as her screen produced pink waves as well.. Tails was as well feeding the Chao various fruits such as apples and berries, causing it to smile as well. Tails as well was outside near the river and he watched the Chao swim in a circle. Sunset looked very intrigued as she scribbled down on her clipboard. Tails approached her. "You were right, taking care of it doesn't seem so hard. Do you want to spend some time with it now?" Tails called out to Sunset. "Yeah, I will. But in the meantime, go try something else with it, this creature is fascinating." Sunset said not looking up from her notes, causing Tails to look slightly stumped. Sonic and Rainbow Dash were on CHS soccer field which was empty. Sonic was holding the Chao in his hands while Rainbow didn't look too pleased. "Come to think of it, I probably shouldn't have agreed to this thing." Rainbow Dash said. "I have so much stuff to do like practicing my guitar skills and improving my already awesome soccer playing." "Oh come on, it'll be fun to look after this guy." Sonic said as he tickled the Chao. "Besides, we can raise it any way we want, so why not just fit it into your schedule?" "That doesn't sound like a bad idea actually. Being around me while I be awesome will surely make this thing like 20% more awesome!" Rainbow Dash agreed. "Plus, you get to spend the entire day with me." Sonic added on playfully. Rainbow just gave him an unimpressed look. She took the Chao from Sonic and placed it in front of the soccer goal. Rainbow Dash then got a series of soccer balls and placed them in front of her. "Listen up. I'm going to try and shoot into that goal and you're going to try and block all my shots, got it?" She instructed to the Chao. It stared at her for a while before it smiled and nodded. Rainbow Dash juggled the soccer ball for a while until she shot a goal at the post. It zoomed past the Chao who did nothing to stop it. It laughed as the ball went in. "No, you're supposed to block my shot." Rainbow Dash said slightly annoyed. She fired another ball at the goal but it went into the goal without the Chao even trying to block it. It clapped and Rainbow got even more annoyed. "OK, one last time, block it!" She said firmly. She kicked the ball to the Chao who again didn't even try to block it. Rainbow Dash put her hands on her face in annoyance. The Chao flew up to her with a confused look. "This thing is lame! It can't even follow simple instructions." Rainbow Dash stated, causing the Chao to look a little sad as it sank to the ground. "Take it easy, Dash. He should probably see how it's done first." Sonic suggested. He removed the Chao from the goal post and set it down next to it. He then came in front of the goal. "Now, look what I do." Sonic said to it. "Dash, hit away." Rainbow Dash fired many soccer balls at Sonic but with his superior speed, he easily prevented each of them from getting into the goal. The Chao looked on in amazement. "Show off." Rainbow Dash grumbled as she folded her arms. Sonic then stretched his arms. He came over to the Chao and petted it on the head. "Now you try." Sonic told it as he placed the Chao in front of the goal post. Rainbow Dash again dribbled her soccer ball for while until she fired it at the goal. Immediately, the Chao moved quite fast and knocked the ball away, surprising her and Sonic. "Yeah, now we're talking!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. She fired many more balls at the goal and the Chao moved so fast that it was able to deflect all of them easily. Sonic smiled a little as he sat down on the grass. "I changed my mind, this thing is awesome!" Rainbow Dash said as she lifted the Chao up happily. It smiled at her. "But it's pretty quick though. Not as fast as yours truly, but still I'm impressed." Sonic remarked. "I think we should call it Chonic. You know, like Chao and Sonic put together." "We're not calling it that. That's like 20 % less awesome." Rainbow Dash said. The Chao nodded in agreement. Meanwhile, in Eggman's lair, Eggman was sitting in front of his large computer. He was looking at the blueprints for a new robot he was making on the screen. Just then his computer started flashing yellow. "What's this?" He wondered. Eggman pressed a green button on the left side of the screen and then his screen changed to yellow text in order to reveal why it was flashing yellow. "Large sources of magical energy?!" He read. "I could use this to my advantage, might find me a way to get rid of that pesky blue pest. This requires some investigation!" He declared as he rose up from his chair and pointed his finger upward.
