Chapter 58: The ARK
"Alright everyone. No time to search for a spaceship or whatever. Just gather around me and I will do like when we had to go underwater," Sweetie Belle said.
Everyone nodded, but Tails then turned to his past-self. "You should remain here to look after your Sonic."
"You are right," the other Tails replied before he moved toward the still unconscious Past Sonic that Phantom had laid on the ground. "I will take Sonic to my workshop and wait for you there. Good luck everyone."
All the others gathered around Sweetie Belle who created a bubble around them like she did above the ocean.
And she teleported everyone directly into space above the planet, in the direction where she felt the energy of the Chaos Emeralds.
Where they appeared, the ARK was still further away, so Sweetie Belle made them fly toward it, eventually seeing the spherical station in the distance.
And suddenly, the lower hemisphere of the ARK exploded into a field of boulders, revealing in the center of the bottom of the upper hemisphere the Eclipse Cannon.
"We're too late!" Sonic shouted.
"Yes!" Eggman shouted. "The cannon is activated and ready to fire! Now, let's broadcast it to the whole world to have their unconditional sur-"
He was interrupted by an alarm suddenly blaring as a big WARNING appeared on the screen of the main computer.
"What?! What's happening?"
Eggman looked at the computer, trying to find out what was going on. The Eclipse Cannon was refusing to charge. Instead, something else was happening, and he whatever it was, it had nothing to do with the cannon.
Then, a recording popped up on the screen, showing an old man who had a striking resemblance with Eggman excepted that he was thinner and was wearing entirely white clothes. The man was also chained to a chair, looking down.
"My grandfather? Gerald Robotnik?"
The station then began shaking, almost making the doctor fall on his butt as the part of the terminal with the Chaos Emeralds moved down into the pit below. The recording then began, the old man in it speaking.
"This is a death sentence for every human being on Earth. If my calculations are correct, the Space Colony ARK will impact the planet in 27 minutes and 53 seconds. All of you will be destroyed, along with your beloved planet Earth. I plan to give you a taste of my revenge once all the seven Chaos Emeralds are collected. Once I initiated this program, it cannot be disabled. All of you ungrateful humans, who took everything away from me, will feel my loss and despair!"
"Is there anything else you want to say?" asked an unknown man.
"No," Gerald answered.
The man then said "Ready!" before the recording looped.
"That madman!" Eggman shouted. "I must stop it! Somehow! Shadow, do something!"
"The Chaos Emeralds are moving to the cannon's core to turn it into a reactive bomb," Robo Shadow informed. "In order to stop the ARK from crashing, we must reach the Core and cut off the Chaos Emeralds' energy. But without a mean to do this, we have no way to succeed."
"You have got to be kidding me!" Eggman yelled as he punched the keyboard of the computer. "The only thing that I know that could do it is the Master Emerald, but we don't have time to go to Angel Island to grab it! Curse!!!"
The ARK had begun its crash course toward the planet before the heroes.
"Alright!" Sweetie Belle said as she mimed rolling up her non-existent sleeves. "I guess it's time to blow up a space station!"
"No! Don't!" Tails shouted back. "The Eclipse Cannon will be needed in a few years to repel an alien invasion! It's why Gerald Robotnik created it in the first place before he decided to turn it into a bomb."
"Right. The Black Arms. I remember," Phantom said. "I... I lost half of my mercenaries to them when they invaded."
"Ok. so, what do we do to stop the ARK?" Sweetie Belle asked.
"We must go to the Eclipse Cannon's Core to stop the energy given off by the Chaos Emeralds. However, we have two major problems," Tails said.
"First of, there's that big and very powerful lizard-thing that guards the Core," Sonic informed. "He's a prototype of the ultimate lifeform, so he's pretty much Shadow's big brother, and he will do everything in his power to ensure that the ARK will crash."
"And even if we pass the Biolizard, we don't have the Master Emerald which is the only thing that has the power to stop the Chaos Emeralds," Tails said.
"You are forgetting that the Phantom Ruby can restrain the power of the Emeralds," Phantom reminded.
"And I can manipulate the Emeralds' energy to stop them," Sweetie Belle said. "We won't need the Master Emerald. As for that giant lizard, he won't be a problem, don't worry."
Phantom nodded. "We will blast our way to the Core, destroy that lizard, and deactivate the Chaos Emeralds. It shouldn't be difficult then to put the ARK back in place."
"Simple and to the point. That's my language," Sonic said. "No objection Tails?"
The fox shook his head.
"Alright! Then let's go!" the hedgehog shouted. "And once it's over, we will kick Eggman's butt to next week and free Shadow!"
"Yay!" Sweetie Belle cheered before she made everyone charge toward the bottom of the station. Tails pointed the ideal location to enter the station and rapidly reach the Core without damaging the Eclipse Cannon itself, and Sweetie Belle made the bubble go toward it, surrounding it in energy.
They crashed through, entering into a random room of the station, which revealed to be guarded by Eggman's badniks. Some of them were sucked out into space as a result.
"Okay everyone!" Sonic said as he landed on a ladybug robot, freeing a rabbit that Sweetie Belle immediately teleported back on land on the planet. "We already stopped the ARK once, time to do it again!"
And the group charged, destroying any robots getting in their way.
Eggman destroyed an Artificial Chaos, an artificial lifeform made of water-like liquid with a mechanical head made to look like the legendary Chao God, Chaos, by the scientists of Project: Shadow and left behind by the G.U.N. after they shut down the station.
He was on his way to the Core alongside Robo Shadow and a great number of his badniks, but he was encountering a lot of resistance from these artificial things that were slowing him down. And there were also very solid security doors. At this space, he won't be able to reach the Core in time, where he hoped to find something to stop the Chaos Emeralds.
"Doctor," Robo suddenly began. "I received a message from the badniks left to guard the rest of the station. Sonic and his friends have arrived and are on their way to the Core too. They will reach our position before long."
"What?! They're here?! How are they here?! Nevermind! Order the badniks to let them come! We will need them to reach the Core in time!"
"Yes, Doctor."
And suddenly, the robots stopped attacking the group and actually let them pass, even helping them dealing with the lone Artificial Chaos showing up every now and then.
"Eggman is helping us!" Tails said.
"You know it's bad when Eggman is on our side," Sonic commented. "Which was also the case the first time, so it's not a big surprise."
"At least, it means we won't lose time anymore dealing with these small fries," Phantom said.
It wasn't long after that that they reached Eggman who was busy blasting a security door.
"I don't know by what miracle you managed to come here so quickly, but for once, I'm happy to see you," the Doctor said. "You probably already know the situation so I won't lose time explaining it to you. Let's just hurry to reach the Core before the ARK crashes. I hope that you brought something to stop the Emeralds."
Sweetie Belle raised her arm, and also grabbed Phantom's arm to raise it too. "We're here!"
Eggman eyed them for a few seconds before he finished destroying the security door with the cannon mounted on his Egg Mobile. "Whatever works."
Unbeknown to him, Tails discreetly approached Robo Shadow and whispered to his ear "Maria."
Shadow froze.

Robo Shadow put a hand on his head, feeling a sudden headache, while Tails moved back beside Sonic who gave him a silent thumb up.
Eggman saw Shadow's state and asked, "A problem, Shadow?"
"I... I think that I need repair..."
"Right. With all this, I wasn't able to repair the damage you took. You will have to wait until we have stopped the ARK."
"Yes, Doctor."
The constituted team quickly continued through the following areas, Sweetie Belle taking Eggman's place to blast the security doors open. All the while, Robo Shadow, who remained silent, had more headaches
Before long, they reached the Core's chamber where there was a shrine surrounded by seven pillars under an apparatus that beat like a heart. On the pillars were the Chaos Emeralds. Several pipes were all around, as well as a path surrounded by yellow fluid which was separated in two by a canal. The path formed a large circular area in the center.
As the group approached the shrine, holograms of the recording from earlier appeared above them by dozens, the recording repeating Gerald's maddened words as energy gathered above the circular area of the path.
Then, in a large flash of light, a colossal orange lizard-like creature with a dark gray underbelly appeared, over two hundred feet from the head to the tip of the tail and over sixty feet tall where there was a large disk-shaped machinery with a glowing red orb on his back. With a roar, the lizard landed in the yellow fluid in the center of the circular area, making the room shake.
"The Biolizard!" Tails shouted.
"Leave it to me!" Phantom yelled as she sent a wave of Phantom Energy at the beast. "Continue to the shrine!"
Everyone nodded and ran around the Biolizard, keeping on eye on his head and his tail in case he decided to attack them. He did try to attack them by sending dozens of pink egg-things at them, but they were either avoided or destroyed, and Phantom enlarged her red sword before she jumped and she threw it at the red orb on the Biolizard's back, making him roar in pain as his life-support was damaged.
"It's me you should be focused on, you giant abomination!" the pegasus yelled.
She succeeded in gaining the giant lizard's attention and he fired dark energy balls at her from his mouth. The filly easily avoided them by flying around.
Meanwhile, the others reached the shrine.
"This is where we are supposed to place the Master Emerald to stop the Chaos Emeralds," Tails informed.
"Then it's time for me to do my job," Sweetie Belle said before she focused on the Emeralds' energy to deactivate them.
Seeing that Sweetie Belle had the matter in hand, Sonic looked back at the Biolizard as he roared in pain after one of Phantom's illusions that were currently invisible to the hedgehog hit the life-support system.
"Since my help is not needed here, I should as well join in the fun," he said before he ran to the lizard, jumped on his tail, and attacked the red orb by jumping again and curling into a ball before charging at it, doing what was called a Homing Attack.
"Shadow, go help him," Eggman ordered.
"Yes, Doctor," the black roboticized hedgehog replied before he did like Sonic.
Between the three attackers, despite all its chaos powers, even controlling gravity to force them to levitate, the lizard was totally overwhelmed and didn't stand a chance. Phantom's illusions, especially, didn't give him any respite, constantly attacking the life-support system.
The lizard was rapidly defeated, weakened, but not dead yet.
Sweetie Belle then appeared above him, shouting "I'm done!" before she sent a small beam of energy that pierced the life-support system as well as the near invulnerable skin before exploding inside the Biolizard's body, pretty much destroying everything inside him.
Despite this, the beast still had enough fight left in him to gather energy for a Chaos Blast, hoping to take everyone with him.
Phantom didn't let him as she entered his mouth and made his head explode from the inside, killing him for good.
They didn't have time to breathe however as Tails suddenly yelled "Sonic!" gaining everyone's attention.
Back at the shrine, Tails was now on the ground, half-unconscious, and the Chaos Emeralds were now gone from the pillars.
Instead, they were now orbiting around Eggman.
"Mwahahahaha!!! Now that this crisis is over, it's time for me to-"
He didn't have time to say more however. Robo Shadow suddenly warped in front of him in the middle of his speech and kicked him in the face, propelling him out of his Egg Mobile before he fell down the shrine. As the Chaos Emeralds all dropped, the badniks still present all turned to attack Shadow, but he destroyed all of them rapidly with his arm cannon.
At the bottom of the shrine, Eggman groaned in pain as he tried to get back up.
"Sh-Shadow...? What...?"
Shadow, still on the shrine, had a hand on his head as he visibly struggled.
"I... I won't... Error... I m-must protect... The world... The D-d-doctor... No... E-error... Mariiia... MariaaaaaaaAAAAAHHHHH!!!!"
Shadow finally seemed to win whatever inside fight he was having with that last burst of will because he then stopped struggling and looked down at Eggman with a glare that was visible through his visor. however, he seemed also mentally exhausted.
"I... am Shadow the Hedgehog... The ultimate lifeform... I won't be your slave... any longer...! I will protect... the people of this planet... from the likes of you...!"
He then pointed his arm cannon toward the doctor only to fall on a knee.
Tails got up and placed a hand on his shoulder and the other on his chest.
"Easy. You just managed to fight off Eggman's programming and you are still hurt from your fight against Sweetie Belle. Let us deal with him."
The fox then carefully made him sit while the others joined them on the shrine, all glaring down at Eggman.
"You alright buddy?" Sonic asked to Tails.
"Yeah. He didn't hit that hard."
"I advice you to not try anything again Eggman," Sweetie Belle said as she destroyed the Egg Mobile. "You have nothing left, and you are far outmatched."
"We still have to put the ARK back in its place. What do we do with him?" Phantom asked.
Sweetie Belle grinned as she materialized a certain doll. "Allow me." She then threw the doll above Eggman and used her powers to make it grow and give it life until Spikezilla landed beside the doctor.
"What the...?!" everyone beside Sweetie Belle shouted.
"Heya Spiky! Sorry, I wasn't able to play with you a lot lately. But I found you a new toy! You see the man at your feet? You can play with him!"
The dragon of yarn gave the filly a big smile, then the smile turned into an evil grin as he looked down at the sweating doctor.
"Nononononono AAAAAAHHHH!!!"
Sonic and Tails flinched at what was happening down there.
"Aren't you going a little far?" the hedgehog asked to Sweetie Belle. "He isn't dangerous anymore. We can simply capture him."
Sweetie Belle huffed. "After everything he has done, I think that I'm perfectly justified to give him a bit of Tartarus. Don't worry, Spiky won't kill him. He will just... break him a little. Nothing he won't be able to recover from. Anyway, I'm going to put the ARK back in place. I will need instructions to know where exactly the station was at the origin."
"I can give them... But I will need a way... to communicate with you..." Shadow said weakly.
"I can take care of that," Tails said. "And I can also use the time to repair your mechanical parts a bit. As for returning you to normal... I will try to find a way..."
Shadow simply gave a nod in return.
It didn't take long for Sweetie Belle to push the ARK back in its place. Meanwhile, Spiky finished 'playing' with Eggman and Sonic kept watch of what remained of him, and Tails repaired Shadow a little.
Shadow also took the occasion to reveal what led him to this situation.
From his cell in Prison Island, despite all the security, Eggman managed to create very little robots powered by insects and he used them to secretly hack the prison's computers. He also sent them to search all over the world for the Chaos Emeralds. After finding one, he told the G.U.N. as an anonymous source where the Emerald was. Once the G.U.N. took the Emerald and brought it back to the facility to keep it safe, Eggman then deactivated all the security systems and caused some stuff to blow up, using the following chaos to get out of his cell, take the Emerald, and go all the way to where Shadow was kept to free him.
Once Shadow was free, he helped Eggman get out of the island and told him about the Eclipse Cannon, secretly intending to use him to send the ARK crashing into the planet. Cooperating, they then spent the following weeks lying low as they discovered that Sonic and Tails had already gathered the six other Chaos Emeralds. Knowing that it was too dangerous to attack them like that, Eggman used the time to build a base as well as his forces.
Then he backstabbed Shadow and roboticized him.
But thanks to Tails reminding him about Maria, Shadow was able to recover himself, and even to remember his true goal as Gerald had apparently modified his memories for his plan of vengeance.
While Shadow wasn't... expressive, he clearly was thankful.
After that, the heroes spent the following hour or so destroying all the badniks that were still present a little everywhere in the station. Then, once all the robots were gone, they returned on Mobius, at Past Tails' workshop.

Well, while they have experience with de-roboticitation, if they have problems maybe Sweetie could help.
Also, it make me think... What is the difference? Future Eggman trusted Shadow, but Past Eggman betrayed him... What made the difference?
10993616
It was explained in a previous chapter. At the end of The Phantom Filly, Future Shadow was alongside the others when they fought Eggman, so Eggman knew that Past Shadow wasn't to be trusted.
10993616
Past egg man saw present shadow fighting present egg man
Also, I think this version of shadow is cool
10993638
Actually, Present Shadow fought Past Eggman alongside the others at the end of The Phantom Filly. I'm not sure if Past Eggman saw Shadow during the Time Eater Crisis in Sonic Generations.
How many chapters long will this story be?
10993695
I have absolutely no idea. Just the first saga will be as long as A sweetie Dreamland I think, and there will be three sagas in total, maybe even five. So I'm assuming around five hundreds chapters.
*hums Live & Learn*
Also what do you think would happen if the ponies were to ever meet some Chao? I predict Fluttershy would squee at a decibel that's actually able to crack glass.
10993698
Same. Fluttershy would probably make her own Chao Garden.
10993701
And Equestria would be all the better for it.
Well,asuming that now they will have eggman non-mortaly neutralized for the time being,I wonder how phantom and SV(Sweetie Void)will deal with Bowser now(cuz obviously,they’re going to encounter LOTD Apple Bloom and by proxy Mario next),since he is in a lot more complicated position morally speaking.
Maybe explaining and making him form a temporal truce with the mushroom Kingdom will be enough,but C’mon,this is Bowser we’re talking about,so there the chance it’s going to take some effort to get the idea through is mighty thick Skull
10993722
Bowser will have a special role to play later on. a giga-role. I won't say more.
10993701
just the idea makes me want to relax while listening to the music of Chao Garden.
10993722
true
10993645
Eh, close enough, I think O get the two egg men confused. . . Anyway Mecha-Shadow? Is awesome
Mecha
Metal
Meta
Any better Names?
10993635
I guess I missed it... Too bad future Eggman did not tell Past Eggman about what happened
10993818
No, "Metal Shadow" would be a robot designed to resemble Shadow.
10993818
I simply call him Robo Shadow because, as 10994206 pointed out, Metal would be more for a robot built after Shadow. Same for Mecha. Meta would be possible, but I have a preference for Robo.
10994102
They aren't in contact with each other since their defeat in Sonic Generations.
10994220
True, but during the time they were allied together, Future Eggman could have told Past Eggman his mistakes
10994358
He could have, but I don't think he thought about it. They were so sure to win, why bother with past mistakes?
10994365
The same reason some like to tell old war stories, to listen themselves talk
10994666
Lol! Right! It would be SO him!
10994685
Somehow I wonder what could happen behind the scenes...
Since this fic is going to involve SSBB and SSBU, I felt like it would be appropriate to mention that Sora of Kingdom Hearts is confirmed to be joining the brawl as the final DLC character if not everyone has heard that news yet.
Usually I don't like any over powered characters but this overpowered sweetie belle is the only exception because how cool they are
10995261
I don't trust leaks. Some reveal to be true, but others not. But if it's true, then I will bash my head on a wall for at least an hour straight. Kingdom Hearts, as much as I love it and that I want Sora in Smash like many, is one of the last universes that I want because of how complicated it is. And adding in the Disney characters to the already huge casting of characters that this story will have...
10995368
I try my best to keep it interesting, One Punch Man-style. It's hard.
10995481
I can tell also keep up the good work
10995481
Sorry to put myself in the middle but I need to agree with you, even if not a writer, Kingdom Hearts is like add another multiverse, and if we add to it that the timeline and story get confused with so many side-games and the III is not helping it's a chaos that not even Sweetie could touch with a universe sized pole
10996017
And there are all these mysteries like the Master of Masters and his apprentices, the girl that Lea and Isa had befriended in their youth, the "unreality" where Sora is now trapped, Maleficent and Pete, the Black Box, and what happened to most of the characters after the end of Union X. There's too many openings. Writing the universe without screwing something up will be pretty much impossible.
10995481
For the sake of your sanity, let's all hope that the leaks aren't true. Because if they are, then not only will you have a whole different multiverse to write about, but a YouTube video I recently watched showed me that one of the Kingdom Hearts bosses is none other than Sephiroth from Final Fantasy! I know you'll probably have a way to justify his and Cloud's appearance in Kingdom Hearts, but that alone must prove to be very difficult for you.
Adding in the countless mysteries that have yet to be solved, the absurd timeline nonsense, and the long and confusing story... Maybe you're better off just having Sephiroth or Cloud simply mention the Kingdom Hearts universe rather than actually making Sweetie go there herself.
By the way, are you going to make a new chapter or arc for Kirby And The Forgotten Land when it comes out?
10996561
Justifying the presence of the FF cast wouldn't be difficult. They simply have their own worlds which aren't the worlds of the FF games. They are entirely different characters. The problem will really be all these mysteries yet to be solved, like the Black Box or the Master of Masters. And the Darkness Pieces which seem to be the real main antagonists of the saga.
10996968
Is the Sonic world almost done? As in is the adventure almost done, I'm not asking about any updates.
10997693
Almost, yes. Just one chapter.
10995261
*laughs in Grinch leak*
Just felt the need to point that out.
Wait a minute... if he's trapped in a void then Sweetie can just sort of find him at some point, try to return him to his original world, and never actually succeed until after the story ends. There, problem solved.
10998361
It's not the void, it's... hard to explain. You would have to see the end of Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memories, and also the secret boss of the DLC of KH3 and the 100% secret ending.
The point is that the protagonist is sufficiently separated from the rest of his setting that you can basically ignore the existence of the latter.
10996968
I can see where KH might be tricky. That universe is a multiverse all on its own. Involving that might open a whole new can of worms that might muddy up the story as a whole, especially since there are too many unsolved mysteries and the chance of multiverse-travelling enemies like the Heartless spreading beyond that part of the multiverse and infecting the worlds that Sweetie visits.
Might be easier to visit the FF7 world and, if you do involve him, have Sora in post-Xehanort KH simply stumble upon Sweetie while he is exploring the multiverse.
