Chao part 2
Eggman, riding in his eggmobile, flew high above the city of Canterlot. He was too high up for any of the citizens to realize him flying through. Attached to the back of the eggmobile, was a large silver capsule that he normally used to capture small animals. Eggman focused on the screen of his ride in front of him, which had a red beeping dot on it, which indicated that there was magic nearby. The dot began to beep purple as Eggman flew above the forest. Eggman turned his attention to this.
“A change, the energy reading must be in this forest!” Eggman realized. He descended the eggmobile through the tree’s of the forest slowly until he reached the ground and stopped. Eggman got out of his mobile and unplugged the portable magic sensor from the cockpit of the eggmobile. The dot was still beeping as Eggman looked around the forest. It was empty, nothing out of the ordinary. The only movement was that of the wind blowing the trees. Eggman scratched his head and looked down on the screen.
“I don’t get it. I don’t see anything, but this thing is still beeping.” He said confused as he held it up. “Don’t tell me I hit a dead end!”
Eggman took two steps forward and then he heard a small crunching sound from underneath his foot. He looked down and saw the small blue Chao key. He picked it up with curiosity.
“What is this?” Eggman said as he examined the key. Suddenly, the key flashed a light blue color and lifted itself up in the air from his hand, startling the doctor as he took a step back. The key then flashed a giant white flash which covered Eggman as he shielded his eyes from the blinding light with his arms. When the flash ended, Eggman brought his arms down and he looked around. He wasn’t in the forest anymore. He now was in the Chao Garden. In front of him was a large green hedge as tall as him.
“What just happened?” Eggman said as he examined his new surroundings. “It looks like I’m no longer in the forest. That key must’ve brought me here! I guess my device wasn’t malfunctioning after all.” He then looked down at the screen and the dot was now flashing yellow rapidly and beeping loudly.
“I guess this space must be the location of the magical source.” Eggman commented. He then heard some rustling in the hedge in front of him, which startled him a little.
“Who’s there?!” He demanded. He then heard a little more rustling before out of the hedge, emerged several Chao, with some crawling through it as others floated through it. Eggman became puzzled as he saw the small creatures heading towards him.
“Chao?” Eggman said now as he had a crowd of Chao around him. They observed him with curiosity and put their hands to their mouths. The sensor beeped loudly still, causing the Chao to turn their attention towards it and Eggman looked down as well before looking back at the Chao, who still were focused on the beeping. Eggman then had a realization as he raised his finger slightly to the Chao.
“Chao..are the source of this magical reading?! He said with extreme displeasure. “They're hamrless harmless!” He sighed loudly and slumped his shoulders as he hung his head in disappointment. The Chao crowded around him and continued to stare at him.
“(I was expecting something much more from such a large energy reading! Not these cute cuddly creatures! I brought my capsule for no-)” Eggman began before he suddenly rose up and his face broke out into a large wicked grin.
“Then again, I know better than to judge a book by its cover.” Eggman said as he looked down at the Chao on the ground maliciously. They still looked up at him with confusion. He rubbed his hands together deviously.
Meanwhile, Shadow was at his quiet place. He sat down on the grass as he pressed his hands down on it. He was just alone as he stared into the crystal clear lake and listened to the running water.
“Ah, peace and quiet is all I need. Especially now that I’m away from Pinkie Pie and that creature.” Shadow said calmly.
Just then, a small bubbling ripple appeared in the lake, catching Shadow’s attention. Then another ripple happened as well in the same spot, causing Shadow to rise up. Two more ripples happened after that and Shadow walked over to the water. A series of ripples then occurred and Shadow looked down at the water, puzzled. He glared slightly and crouched down to his knees. Shadow peered into the water. This time, nothing happened for a few seconds as Shadow stared at it. Suddenly, a giant splash erupted from the water as a blast of confetti was shot from it and a party horn noise was made as it hit Shadow in the face, blowing him back and causing him to fall to the ground. Out of the water, a Chao emerged, floating and holding the party cannon. Next to it, Pinkie Pie came out, wearing a pink wetsuit, with pink goggles and a yellow breathing tube. She removed the tube from her mouth and smiled widely as she turned to the Chao.
“See, I knew we’d find him!” Pinkie told it. It smiled back at her. The two of them then approached Shadow and looked down at him happily as he laid on the ground . He had confetti all over his face and had a blank expression as he stared at them.
“That was a fun game of Hide and Seek!” Pinkie said. Shadow then rose up from the ground and rubbed the confetti off his face. He glared at the two of them when he was done.
“How’d you find me here?” Shadow asked.
“With my Pinkie sense of course!” Pinkie exclaimed. The Chao nodded in agreement. Shadow sighed loudly in annoyance.
“I told you, I don’t want anything to do with this creature.” Shadow said as pointed to the Chao. It lost its smile and lowered the party cannon.
“Come on, Shady! It needs both of us to take care of it and besides, it’s having so much fun playing with you!” Pinkie replied.
“You mean attacking me with that weapon of yours? That’s not really playing.” Shadow responded. He folded his arms and turned away from her.
“So, what do you want to play now? Still hide and seek, or another game?” Pinkie asked him eagerly and missing his point entirely.
“Neither.” Shadow stated. He teleported in a blue flash, leaving Pinkie and the Chao. They turned to each other before Pinkie smiled again .
“Hide and seek it is!” Pinkie declared. The Chao smiled heavily at her suggestion.
Back at the Canterlot Animal Shelter, Fluttershy clutched and petted Angel bunny in her hands near the store’s entrance as she observed the Chao in the middle of the room. It was surrounded by a puppy, kitten, and a few hamsters. The Chao gently gave each of them a pat on the head, making them purr or bark in delight. Manic was next to it, but he wasn’t paying attention to it all. He had his back leaned against the wall and his head down as he tapped his drumsticks slightly against the wall.
“I don’t understand why it doesn’t seem to like me. I’m always so nice and kind to it, but it just doesn’t even respond to me at all.” Fluttershy said with a sad tone as she fluffed Angel’s tail. Upon hearing this, Angel crossed his arms and glared at the Chao with a jealous frown.
“Manic doesn’t even pay it attention, but it always ends up going to him. Maybe there’s something I’m doing wrong.” Fluttershy began to ponder as she stopped fluffing Angel’s tail. Upon this, he looked up at her and gave her an annoyed glance. The Chao then looked up at Manic and noticed what he was doing with his drumsticks. It flew up towards Manic and he noticed as he raised his head towards it.
“What’s up?” He asked as he continued to tap his sticks against the wall. The Chao then looked down at his hands. Manic noticed where it was looking.
“Oh, you must really like these. Well, here you go.” Manic said as he became a green blur and dashed out of the animal shelter. He then came back shortly with two smaller drumsticks in his hands. He then handed them to Chao. It stared at him with curiosity at what he had just done before it took them and began to tap the sticks together rapidly. The other animals crowded around the Chao happily as it did. Seeing this caused Fluttershy to form an envious glare as she fumed and began to shake slightly with anger. Angel noticed this and he hopped out of her hands quickly with a nervous expression.
“Why... doesn’t….. it love me?!” Fluttershy said bitterly but softly as she grit her teeth.
The Chao didn’t notice this at it continued to hit the drumsticks together. The Chao then began to vibrate in place suddenly and then it’s entire body was shaking. Fluttershy lost her anger and looked at the Chao with worry. She approached it and Manic noticed this as well and his face made a confused look. The two observed it as began to vibrate more rapidly.
“Uh, what’s it doing?” Manic asked.
“Is something wrong?” Fluttershy asked it with concern. The Chao didn’t even notice her at all and just continued to shake. Eventually, it raised its two arms and hit the drumsticks it was holding together with a very hard clap. The result was a booming shockwave that made a loud popping noise, which caused Manic and Fluttershy to duck and cover their ears as the shockwave went through the animal shelter and destroyed all the windows instantly. The animals, in a state of panic, all rushed out of the shelter as they barked and hissed away into the streets. Manic and Fluttershy rose up and upon seeing the state the shelter was in, Fluttershy gasped loudly as she held her hand to her mouth. She looked like she was about to have a heart attack. Manic groaned as he facepalmed at the sound of the missing animals.
“I’ll go and get them.” Manic said with annoyance. He dashed out of the animal center, leaving Fluttershy and the Chao. Fluttershy turned towards it.
“Now, what you did was very wrong. I know you like to play with the drumsticks, but you have to be considerate of others around you. I know you didn’t mean it, but you ended up scaring all the animals away. Next time, please be more aware of your surroundings.” Fluttershy told it gently with a warm smile. It just stared at her with the same blank expression and blinked once. The Chao then flew away from her at high speed and after Manic out of the shleter. Fluttershy’s eye began to twitch and then she came on to her knees after this.
“STOP IGNORING ME!!!!!!!”Fluttershy yelled at the top of her lungs to the sky.
Back at Sweetapple acres, Knuckles and AppleJack were now with the Chao in the kitchen of her home. The Chao floated as AppleJack sat in the corner on a chair while she was placing an ice pack on her forehead. She looked quite dazed and dizzy. Knuckles and the Chao exchanged small glances before Knuckles approached her.
“Are you feeling better?” Knuckles asked.
“I’ll be fine. I didn’t think such a little fella could be so strong.” AppleJack replied as she rose up from her chair and wobbled a little as she struggled to maintain her balance and she sat down again. “It just happened out of the blue.”
“Yeah, it saw me hit that tree and then it was almost as strong as me.” Knuckles pondered. He stared at the Chao for a while and it looked back at him with interest. “I think these things must pick up whatever traits they’re exposed to.”
“That explains a lot.” AppleJack said tiredly and she slumped in her chair. The Chao flew over to her and looked at her, slightly worried. AppleJack gave it a slightly reassuring smile after she noticed this. “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine, partner. You just need to control that strength of yers.” The Chao began to examine its arms and started flexing them slightly in confusion. Knuckles then faced the Chao.
“I’ll teach you everything I know about discipline. Got it?” Knuckles said as he pointed to the Chao sternly. The Chao nodded its head in agreement happily.
“Cool.” Knuckles said. He held out his fist for a fist bump. The Chao stared at his fist before looking down at one of its own. It then released a fist bump to Knuckles. However, the Chao didn’t hold back it’s strength and Knuckles was sent crashing through the wall of the kitchen and outside on the ground. AppleJack gasped and rose up. She and the Chao looked through the Knuckles shaped hole in the wall and saw Knuckles resting against a tree with a dazed expression.
“I’m ok. Let’s get started.” Knuckles said in a staggered tone as he gave the thumbs up.
“Looks like Knuckles and I have a lot of work to do.” AppleJack said with a sigh. She placed the ice pack on the table and headed outside.
Eggman descended back to the entrance of his lair as it opened up for him to land. As he set down his eggmobile, he saw Orbot and Cubot waiting for his arrival.
“Welcome back sir, did you find the source of that magical reading?” Orbot asked as Eggman got out of the mobile.
“Yes, I didn’t return empty-handed. Allow me to demonstrate.” Eggman said as he walked over to the capsule attached the eggmobile. He pressed a small green button on the front and the doors of the capsule opened up. The capsule was full of many Chao, sleeping peacefully. Orbot and Cubot examined them before looking back at Eggman. Eggman looked proud at his catch as he crossed his arms triumphantly. Cubot scratched his head
“Sir…...why do have so many...Chao” Orbot questioned.
“They were the source of the magical reading. From now on, they’re going to be my new power source!” Eggman declared. "Why didn't I think of this earlier?" Orbot and Cubot looked at each other upon hearing this.
“And I thought he was crazy for using small animals.” Cubot said in a snobbish British accent. Eggman gave him a small glare.
“I’m not crazy!” Eggman said defensively as he closed the door of the capsule. “Take the capsule and follow me! Let’s get the Egg Albatross ready! I want to get more of them.”
Eggman then headed off deeper into the lair, leaving Orbot and Cubot with the capsule. Orbot sighed in reluctance.
“Just try not to drop it.” Orbot told Cubot.
“Such grueling work is beneath me.” Cubot stated and Orbot held his head and groaned.
In Rarity’s home, Silver and the Chao waited outside the door to Rarity’s room in the hallway. They looked like they had been waiting out there for some time. The Chao looked up at the door, while Silver sat down as his hand rested on his face and looked bored out of his mind. He then turned to the door.
“She’s been in there for almost two hours. What could she be up to?” Silver asked. The Chao turned to him and just shrugged. Suddenly, the door burst open, startling the Chao and Silver, the former which then entered Silver’s hair, while Silver stepped back slightly. Rarity stood at the door, looking incredibly pleased with herself.
“They’re finished!” Rarity announced.
“What is?” Silver asked. The Chao emerged itself from Silver’s hair upon hearing her statement and flew down to her.
“Enter and marvel at some of my finest work yet!” Rarity instructed as she entered the room, followed by Silver and the Chao. In the center, there was a clothing rack that was full of small baby sized outfits. There was a blue pirate outfit, a blue tuxedo, a blue astronaut outfit, blue marching band uniform and more. The Chao looked on in amazement while Rarity looked quite satisfied with her work.
“So this is why you were in here for so long.” Silver realized.
“Of course! I couldn’t decide on what outfit would be good for the little darling, so I though, why not all of them?” Rarity explained as she patted the Chao on the head. “The choice is yours.”
The Chao then flew towards the clothing rack eagerly. Next, a montage of the Chao wearing different outfits was shown. It first wore the astronaut outfit as it made a saluting gesture. Next, the Chao put on the marching band uniform and played an air horn. It then placed a police uniform, complete with the black shades and made a play gun with its hand and pretended to fire. The Chao then placed on a blue hippie outfit and did a meditation pose as it floated mid-air. Rarity squealed in delight while Silver just smiled slightly as the two of them watched.
“This is just perfect! You are so adorable! We must match together!” Rarity said as she dashed quickly and pulled out another clothing rack, this time with outfits her own size. Rarity and the Chao each put on a matching blue sweater along with a blue beret hat and yellow pants. They both admired each other.
“We look so great together! But I feel as if something is missing.” Rarity said, placing her hand on her chin. She began to think what it could be. The Chao then mimicked her as well and Silver just looked on, kind of lost. Rarity then had an ‘aha’ moment as she raised her finger and the Chao copied her.
“We need three to be the perfect matching set!” Rarity exclaimed. “Silver, you must join us!” She then dashed and got another clothing rack, this time, suited for males. Silver turned to her and he looked bewildered at her suggestion.
“Me?! Oh no, I’m perfectly fine the way I am. I’m not good with fashion anyway.” Silver said as he started to back away towards the door slowly as Rarity approached him. The Chao then flew towards the rack Rarity got and pulled out a male outfit. It then flew around Silver rapidly before it stopped and Silver was now matching with it and Rarity. Silver looked down at himself, not too pleased as he looked with disapproval.
“Wonderful! I see that it has my fashion sense!” Rarity declared happily and the Chao clapped it’s hand together.
Back in Sunset’s lab, Sunset sat down on the table, reviewing her notes while Tails stood by the door, holding the Chao in his hand. Sunset was so engrossed in her notes while Tails looked on, slightly bothered by this with a small frown.
“I’ve seen a lot of creatures while I was with Princess Celestia, but this Chao has got to be the most interesting one I’ve ever seen! Everything about it is so fascinating! It responds differently to various forms of affection! Its mood is affected by the flavor of what it eats! Over a period of time, it seems to prefer one type of physical activity!” Sunset was saying as she read through her studies. Tails then approached her table and came next to her, but she didn’t seem to notice.
“That’s cool and all, but are you sure you don’t want to try playing with it?” Tails asked.
“I’ll get to it.” Sunset responded, not paying much attention and she continued to read.
“You’ve said that already...4 times.” Tails reminded.
“I know and I will.” Sunset insisted. Upon hearing this, Tails pulled up a seat next to her and he placed the Chao on the table, right next to her. Sunset stopped reading and she turned to face Tails and the Chao.
“What are you doing?” Sunset asked, mildly annoyed. “I was reading.”
“I get that. Listen. Sunset, I see that you’re really excited about studying a new kind of creature and all, but it’s not just a lab experiment. It’s also a living thing that enjoys having fun.” Tails informed her. “Just look it.”
Sunset turned from Tails and stared directly at the Chao. She examined its completely innocent look. The big blue eyes it had and that small, baby-like smile as it looked back at her. Sunset formed a small smile as she felt a warm, fuzzy feeling in her chest and rose from the table. She couldn’t resist its cuteness, no matter how hard she tried.
“Tails, you’re right. I am excited by my studies, but I should take the chance to spend time with it.” She recognized. Shen then lifted the Chao off the table and held it up. “How about we go play outside?”
The Chao smiled widely at her suggestion and flew from her hands outside the door. Sunset and Tails then followed it outside.
At the field, Rainbow Dash sat next to the Chao on the bleachers as she began to pet it softly. The Chao purred with happiness while Rainbow began to beam.
“I’m actually glad I agreed to look after this thing. It’s pretty awesome!” Rainbow Dash said. Sonic then came as a blue streak in front of them suddenly and they turned to him and rose from the bleachers.
“Ok, I just mapped the city so Chonic and I can go on our run.” Sonic stated.
“One, we’re not calling it Chonic. Second, why are you going on a run?” Rainbow Dash responded.
“Because he’s pretty fast right now, but if he wants to hone his speed, he needs to get into the habit of practicing. A little run around the city should do the trick.” Sonic explained.
“Around the city? Sonic, are you sure he’s ready to go around the city? He could get lost.” Rainbow Dash said, with her voice full of concern.
“I’ll be with him, he’ll be fine.” Sonic reassured.
“But still, the city’s a dangerous place. He should run with some protection.” Rainbow Dash said with uneasiness. She then ran inside the entrance to the school gym. Shortly after, she came out with a football helmet, a baseball catcher guard, knee and shin pads, small gloves and boots and came over to the Chao. She then dressed it up in the various equipment and then set it down on the ground. Sonic looked at it, and he didn’t seem to like what he saw. The Chao could barely stand due to the weight of the helmet and it fell over. It wiggled its feet in an attempt to stay up.
“Lame. How’s he supposed to run with all this junk all over him?” Sonic said. He then zipped around the Chao and removed the sports equipment and placed them on the ground. The Chao sat up and wiped its brow in relief. “That’s better.”
“Hey, what’d you do that for?” Rainbow Dash said irritably. “Safety comes first.”
“He’ll be fine. He doesn’t need all that stuff.” Sonic dismissed.
“You can never be too careful. I don’t want to take any chances.” Rainbow Dash pressed on.
“What chances? It’s in the city. What’s the worst that could happen?” Sonic argued.
“Do I really need to answer that question?” Rainbow Dash dryly said.
“Why don’t we see what he wants? Hey, Cho-” Sonic began before he looked down and noticed that the Chao wasn’t on the ground next to him where he was before. He and Rainbow Dash looked at the spot, baffled.
“Where’d he go? Chonic, Chonic!” Sonic called out as he looked around the field.
“He was here a second ago. He couldn’t have gone too far. He should be right around here.” Rainbow Dash said, as her voice was starting to fill with panic and she began to look around the field quickly and anxiously. “What if he dashed off and went in the city alone?! He could be hurt now or worse!
“Relax. I’m sure he’s still around.” Sonic replied as he kept his cool. He then noticed a small blue cocoon around the size of the Chao underneath the bleachers in the corner of his eye and then focused on it. “Hey Dash, look at that.”
Rainbow Dash turned and she saw what Sonic was pointing to the cocoon and came next to him.
“It’s the same color as Chonic. Wait, I mean, the Chao. Could it be in there?” Rainbow Dash commented.
The cocoon then began to peel itself open slowly, until it revealed the Chao. Now, the Chao was slightly larger, reaching up to Sonic’s knee and it had his hairstyle along with some rainbow colored highlights there as well. It began to examine its new body and feel its head as it came out from underneath the bleachers.
“Check it out! Chonic just changed! I have to say, he’s quite good-looking now.” Sonic observed with approval. Rainbow Dash went over to Chonic and knelt down to pet him.
“This is pretty cool actually! Now, he’s 20 % more awesome!” Rainbow Dash proclaimed gladly. Chonic looked up at her warmly. Suddenly, Chonic began to rise up in the air slowly. He had a puzzled expression as it looked around rapidly. Sonic came over to inspect this as Rainbow Dash looked slightly surprised at hia sudden floating.
“Is this some kind of new trick?” Sonic wondered.
Chonic began to rise higher and higher up into the air. He formed a distressed look on his face as he looked down at Sonic and Rainbow Dash and tried to scramble towards them, but couldn’t as he went up towards the sky. Sonic and Rainbow Dash now looked troubled by Chonic's fearful face.
“Hey, you’re going up too high! Get down!” Rainbow Dash yelled upward to Chonic. Chonic tried to struggle, but he just still went up until he vanished into the clouds. Sonic and Rainbow Dash gasped at this sight.
“What was that?!” Rainbow Dash cried.
Outside the front entrance of the school, the Chao that was with Tails and Sunset flew out of the doors excitedly, with the two of them following. When they reached the end steps, they saw the Chao rising up in the sky while it was upside down and they stopped in their tracks.
“What’s going on?” Tails said as he and Sunset looked on as the Chao headed towards the cloud.
Back at Rarity’s house, Silver sighed as the Chao began to fly around him and put on a new outfit for him. It and Rarity were wearing Egyptian themed outfits, both dressed as pharaohs. As it was about to place the golden headpiece on Silver, the Chao suddenly stopped flying around Silver and it was pulled out of the window in Rarity’s room, surprising Silver and Rarity. The two of them headed towards the window and looked out and above, where they say the Chao skyrocketing to the sky.
In Sweet apple acres, the Chao sat down on the grass as it looked up at Knuckles and AppleJack, who were towering above it. They then turned to each other.
“So, what should we teach it first exactly?” Knuckles said.
“Well, I was thinkin-what the hay!” AppleJack began before she saw the Chao ascending above the ground and then shooting up way above them at high speed. She and Knuckles watched helplessly as the Chao was lost from their sight.
Back at the Animal Shelter, Fluttershy sat down at the counter, looking slightly unhappy as her eyes were focused on the ground. Just then, the door opened up and Fluttershy turned to see Manic holding dogs, kittens, hamsters and birds in his arm. Manic looked incredibly beat as he yawned. Behind him, the Chao held two puppies in its hand and displayed them with glee.
“Ok, we finally managed to bring the animals back.” Manic said exhausted as he laid down the animals and the Chao did the same thing. Fluttershy got up from the counter and headed to place the animals back in their cages, when suddenly the Chao was pulled away from the animal shelter very quickly. Fluttershy placed her hand over her mouth and her eyes widened in an unsettled manner. Manic turned around and his knees reached the ground with a worn out look on his face.
“Come on. Not again!” He complained as he flayed his arms around and put his head down.
On the streets of Canterlot, Pinkie Pie and the Chao walked on the sidewalk, being on the lookout for Shadow. They looked around for any sign of him as the Chao held the party cannon, ready to fire.
“Shadow, Shadow!” Pinkie Pie called out. “You’ve been hiding for a long time now and I think it’s your time to seek.”
Pinkie then heard her party cannon hit the ground from behind her and she turned around and saw the Chao heading upwards suddenly. She seemed to enjoy the sight of it doing that.
“Wow, you’re super floaty now! But hey, you forgot the party cannon!” Pinkie yelled up to it as it mounted up higher and she held up the cannon.
On the field, Rainbow Dash began to strut around furiously. She was quite upset at losing the Chao as she began to freak out as her thoughts poured out of her mouth rapidly.
“What was that? Why did he just go up in the air? He looked so scared! He must be in trouble! Who knows what could happen to him up there.” Rainbow Dash began to say in dread at the thought of it getting hurt and she grabbed her face. Sonic tapped his foot against the ground quickly and he focused on the sky.
“Let me check this out.” Sonic said. Sonic then dashed up towards the rooftop of the school. On the top, he found Shadow, much to his surprise, who was staring off with his arms folded as usual. Shadow noticed him and turned to him.
“Shadow? Why aren’t you with Pinkie and the Chao?” Sonic asked. Shadow raised an eyebrow and Sonic realized it was a dumb question to ask. “Anyway, could you do me a favor? Come look at the clouds up there with me.”
Shadow didn’t ask why and he just walked up next to Sonic. The two of them began to stare at the clouds for a while. Then, Sonic noticed a dark orange Eggman symbol that seemed to be on some kind of yellow aircraft through the clouds. Sonic glowered in slight anger.
“Eggman. Should’ve know.” Sonic grumbled.
“What’s the doctor up to this time?’ Shadow questioned.
“Dunno. But he took Chonic!” Sonic said as he pounded his fist into his hand and dashed down.
“Chonic?” Shadow said in disbelief before he dashed down with Sonic.
Sonic and Shadow reached the field again where they saw, Rainbow Dash, Sunset, and Tails there.
“Sonic! Did you see anything?” Tails asked him.
“Yep. It’s Eggman. No surprise there.” Sonic responded.
“ He’s probably planning on using their magic for something.” Sunset deduced.
“Who cares why?! We have to get our Chao back!” Rainbow Dash expressed impatiently.
“We will. Anyway, from the way he was moving, it looks like he was heading towards the forest where we found our Chao. We should head there now." Sonic said.
"Good plan. I'll notify everyone else. I'm sure that they've lost their Chao to him too." Sunset added on as she took out her phone and sent a text message to the rest that said 'Lost ur Chao? Head to the forest'.
"Let's do it to it!" Sonic declared as he grabbed Rainbow Dash and Tail's arms and he sped away. Shadow picked up Sunset and took after them quickly.
In the cockpit of Eggman's machine, Eggman stood at the controls and he rubbed his hands in delight with Orbot and Cubot at his side and he had a large grin which showed his teeth.
"Perfect. Who would've thought that blue pest and his friends would have picked up some Chao? Not only do I get another power source, but I get to tick off Sonic at the same time." Eggman gloated. "Now, I just need to find that key again so I can go back and take all of them this time."
Eggman's machine then flew over the top of the forest and it began to descend down. As it did, its design was revealed. The bottom had a silver center with a golden cannon in the front. On the sides, it had two red and golden propellers attached to its spread out wings armed with cannons. In the middle was a golden and red blimp with a red and silver propeller and golden cannons on the side. On the top rested a red mechanical hawk with a blue cockpit. On the back of the hawk was Eggman's capture capsule.
In the middle of the forest, Sonic, Shadow, Sunset, Tails and Rainbow Dash sped in and they noticed Knuckles and the others in front of them, waiting. Sonic and Shadow slowed down and stopped moving. Shadow set down Sunset and approached the rest.
“Glad you could all be here.” Sonic said. “Eggman is the source of our missing Chao problem.
“I figured as much.” Knuckles said.
Sonic and the others save for Rarity landed their eyes on the Egyptian outfit Silver was wearing and stared at him strangely. Silver noticed this and faced them.
"What? I'm helping the Chao be happy, ok?" Silver said with mild irritation. " Anyway, so Eggman behind's this huh?"
“Why does that Eggman always have to take cute and innocent creatures?!” Fluttershy stated angrily.
“Probably loneliness.” Sonic suggested. “Anyway, Eggman should be here soon. Then we can get back Chonic and the others.”
“Chonic?” Manic said as if he didn’t hear him right.
“Yeah. I called mine Chonic. Chainbow Dash didn’t sound so good. You guys should probably name yours. For starters...Chanic.” Sonic told him. He then turned to Silver and Rarity. “Hmmm….Charity!”. He then faced Knuckles and AppleJack. Sonic let out a small laugh and did slight smile. This made Knuckles walk up to him firmly.
“Don’t say Chuckles.” Knuckles threatened as he pointed at him. Sonic raised his arms in defense and his eyelids dropped slightly.
“I wasn’t going to say Chuckles.” Sonic insisted. Knuckles folded his arms and gave him an annoyed glare.
Pinkie Pie then noticed Shadow and her face broke out into a smile as she went up to him.
“There you are, Shady! Now it’s your turn to seek!” Pinkie said. Shadow just held his head and sighed deeply. He couldn’t believe she was still on about that, even at this time.
“Guys, look up there!” Sunset said as she pointed upward, making everyone else look up. They saw the Egg Albatross descending down. As it did, it knocked over a couple of tree’s in half, making them crash down around Sonic and the others. The Albatross then stopped moving. Fluttershy saw the destroyed tree’s and her face broke out into one of horror at this complete disregard for nature.
“Sonic. Wasn’t expecting to see you here. Anyway, could you please move? I need to find that key again. Or don’t, so I can crush you. Either works for me.” Eggman said from the top of the Albatross.
“No way! Give back the Chao. Tiny animals are one thing, but these things are like babies. This is low, even for you, Eggman.” Sonic told him with disgust. Eggman received glares from the rest of the group, especially a deadly one from Fluttershy. Eggman just ignored them.
“I’m not interested in your lecture. Anyway, crushed it is!” Eggman said gleefully as the Albatross rose slightly above the trees. Sonic and the others got into defensive positions. The Rainbooms closed their eyes and each concentrated on their respective element before they rose up in the air and ponied up. Eggman looked slightly taken back. He didn't expect to see a couple of normal girls use magic.
“That’s pretty!” Cubot said in wonder. Eggman looked back at him with slight irritation. Eggman slammed his fist on the controls in the center and the Albatross fired a dozen cannonballs down at the group. They all moved out of the way quickly while Silver held the cannon balls in place with his psychic powers and he shot them at the bottom part, damaging it a little bit. Sonic, Shadow, and Manic became streaks of the respective color and they went through the bottom as well, destroying bits with each strike before they all hit it at once, making it explode. Eggman staggered in his cockpit.
“No matter. Get a load of this!” Eggman said. The blimp fired more cannon balls, but Sonic and the others were too fast to hit as they landed on the ground. Sunset fired a stream of fire at the blimp, burning the top slightly. Rarity fired a diamond shower, making hard dents into it as well and destroying the paint job, revealing its metallic look. Pinkie Pie and AppleJack both shot a combined yellow and pink wave, which made a much larger dent into the front blimp and destroyed the propeller. Knuckles and Tails were on the ground. Knuckles came in front of Tails and he crouched down. Tails then launched up with a thunder shoot, making Knuckles head up to the blimp quickly as he cackled with yellow electricity and he punched the dent hard, making it disconnect from the Egg Hawk on the top and it came falling down before it exploded into bits everywhere as Knuckles landed. Eggman lost his balance and fell out of his seat. He got up and wobbled for a bit before he managed to sit down.
“Ok, then change of plans! Retreat!” Eggman cried out in panic and nervousness as the Egg Hawk began to rise up and prepared to escape. Before it left, Eggman noticed Fluttershy fly up in front of him.
“Oh, well, she looks harmless.” Eggman said in relief. Fluttershy’s body began to glow purple and she fired many purple butterflies at the Egg Hawk. They didn’t do any damage, but they blocked Eggman’s vision.
“I can’t see!” Eggman cried out. When they cleared, Eggman saw something charging towards him, full speed ahead. It was Rainbow Dash and she looked extreme angry as she gave the doctor an intense glare. Eggman's face sunk in defeat when he saw her headed towards him.
“GIVE ME BACK MY CHAO!!!” Rainbow Dash yelled as she flew right through the Egg Hawk, splitting it in half and the capsule fell right off it and headed towards the ground.
“That was unexpected.” Eggman managed to say before he pressed the eject button on his eggmobile, separating it from the Egg Hawk as it exploded mid-air. Before the capsule hit the ground, Fluttershy pressed the yellow button at the top, releasing the Chao from it. The Chao crowded around Fluttershy as she descended to the ground gently with them and they reached the floor, where Sonic and the others were. Rainbow Dash joined them shortly.
“Yeah! That was way past cool!” Sonic said as he ruffled Tail’s hair and fist bumped Knuckles. He and Rainbow Dash then high-fived at their victory. Shadow just smirked while Manic and Silver gave each other the thumbs up as Pinkie jumped up excitedly and the rest of the Rainbooms smiled.
“I agree. More like 40-Hey, he’s getting away!” Rainbow Dash noticed as she saw the eggmobile flying off in the distance and pointed towards it, making everyone look up at it.
“I got this.” Sonic said. He picked up a small nearby rock the size of his hand and began to spin his arm around extremely fast before he released the rock, projecting it in the air as if it was a bullet. The rock then hit the eggmobile, making an explosion of gray smoke that made Eggman’s face in a frown.
“Done.” Sonic said as he dusted his hands The group was surrounded by a large number of Chao, who looked up at them happily. Rainbow Dash picked up Chonic and she hugged him very tightly and close to her.
“Nice work. We saved them all.” Sunset said.
Then, the blue Chao key from before suddenly floated down in front of them from the sky and it was noticed by everyone.
“That key from before.” Shadow stated.
The key then flashed a large blue light, engulfing everyone along with the Chao in it. When the flash died down, Sonic and co looked around and they saw that they were back in the Chao Garden. This time, they were by the clear blue lake surrounded by grass and coconut trees. Some of the Chao that were with them headed into the water and began to play as they swam, splashed and flew around. The group smiled at this, even Shadow letting out a small smile at the Chao's happiness
“After all this, I think we deserve a nice relaxing day here.” Sonic stated as he looked down at Chonic, who smiled back at him.
Later, Silver, Rarity, and their Chao were surrounded by a few Chao as they showed off their matching Egyptian outfits to the Chao, who looked at them with astonishment and flew around them to get a better look at the clothes. Silver looked extremely embarrassed as his face turned slightly red and he tried to avoid eye contact with the Chao as he focused on the floor. Pinkie Pie and her Chao were with another group of Chao as it fired the party cannon, making it rain confetti as the Chao’s clapped in delight along with Pinkie. Shadow rested against a palm tree as he sat down. A Chao was down on his head while two Chao tugged at his arms as another latched on to his shoes. Shadow looked emotionless the whole time until a blast of confetti was shot in his face, covering him in it. Pinkie and the Chaos started to giggle while Shadow just looked on and fumed slightly. Manic and Fluttershy’s Chao began to hit its drumsticks against the floor along with Manic, trying to find the right beat. Fluttershy looked on at them, but instead of getting jealous, she watched them warmly and did a small smile. The Chao then flew up to her, much to her surprise. It latched itself on to her tightly with a smile and Fluttershy looked like she had won the lottery as her mouth widened with joy.
“Yessss!! IT LOVES ME!!!” She screamed loudly and hysterically. Manic just gave her a strange look when he heard this.
Knuckles and AppleJack observed as their Chao began to shake the coconut tree roughly, making coconuts fall out for the other Chao to collect . As it did, the Chao lifted the coconut tree up by accident, making both Knuckles and AppleJack gain tense looks as they stared at it, fearing what it might do next. The Chao held the tree for a while before it gently placed it back in its place, making Knuckles and AppleJack sigh with relief. Near the lake, Tails and Sunset splashed the water near Chao playing in it as the two sat near the edge of the lake, making the Chao laugh. Just then, two blue streaks and a rainbow streak passed by the water, soaking both Tails and Sunset completely as they formed looks of astonishment. Through the garden, the streaks soared by, surprising many Chao as they did, making them look on curiously. One streak was Sonic, next to him was Chonic and on the other side, Rainbow Dash as she flew.
“Race ya to the other end of the garden!” Sonic yelled as he zipped ahead, leaving Rainbow Dash and Chonic.
“You’re on!” Rainbow Dash replied as she flew ahead as well. Chonic then dashed to catch up with them.
The end.
