In the middle of the afternoon, in Maretime Bay, Hitch trotted in front of his friends as he gave them the news.
"Get ready for the ultimate Maretime Bay tour!" Hitch announced that he and Sunny should show their friends the rest of their hometown and special places to visit.
"Yay!" Izzy cheered out in excitement.
"I can't wait!" Zipp announced with a smile.
"I love tours!" Pipp added with a cheerful smile.
"Sounds fun!" Sonic replied with his arms crossed and a little smirk.
Izzy got all excited as she pointed around at random things near them. "Ooh, I'm gonna see this!" she pointed to the flower stands, "I'm gonna see that," pointed to a doughnut sign, "And I'm gonna see--ahh!" she was about to point to the glasses. Still, when she stepped over a familiar 'X,' a familiar trap surrounded Izzy, trapping her in one of the leftover unicorn traps with her horn sticking out of the hole. The earth pony beside the glasses stand ran off in fright as Izzy was trapped in the unicorn trap. "...Total darkness?" Izzy said in her usual cheerful tone.
"Izzy!" Pipp, Zipp, and Sunny cried in concern as they headed toward the trap to get her out.
On the other hand, Sonic looked at the scene in disbelief, facepalmed, and groaned because he thought Hitch had said all the traps had been removed. "Here we go again, great," Sonic said with annoyance and sarcasm.
Hitch looked at the trap in confusion with a raised eyebrow. "I thought all the unicorn traps were disabled!" he called out, then brought out his sheriff book. "Note to self: Check traps for--" he wrote down, but then was interrupted by his friends trying to get Izzy out of the trap as they struggled.
"Hitch, a little help here?" Sunny asks her friend to help Izzy out of the box.
Hitch smiled to himself as he walked toward them, humming to himself. He walked before the release button, waved his mane with his hoof, and then pressed the button. But the trap didn't release for some reason, and Hitch and the others were surprised it didn't work. Hitch pressed the button repeatedly to get the trap open, but nothing happened, and he began to sweat.
"Ugh, the release button isn't working!" Hitch cried out as he kept trying, as Sunny gasped in shock.
"What?" Sonic exclaimed, quickly moving Hitch aside. "But it worked the first time! Let me try..." he said, while he cracked his hands, ready to press that button as if his life depended on it. "Sonic's the name. Speed's my game!" he yelled with a confident smile, quickly pushing the button with his hand. However, after at least 30 seconds of trying, he started to lose his patience and slowly groaned until he gave up and pushed the button hard with his forehead. The others looked at him with grief since the hit was too loud, and Pipp covered her mouth with worry. "Okay, that didn't work either," he said with frustration. "Also: ouch..." he fell to the ground in pain. "That hurt a lot..."
"Then how are we going to get her out?!" Sunny cried out as Pipp helped Sonic sit down because he was still hurt.
"I'm fine," Izzy said to them in a cheered tone from inside the box. "This'll be fun!" she assured and then gasped. "I've never been a box before!" she added with sparkly eyes and a cheerful smile.
"But I planned a tour with stops I knew each of you would love!" Hitch pointed out with sadness that he was excited to make the tour. "Izzy can't do a tour in a box!" he said.
"Ooh, you just gave me an idea!" Izzy suddenly said, then she focused her magic on the box, and the box started to levitate off the ground slowly. The others looked in awe at Izzy's plan as the box levitated because she could now move around even if she were still inside the box. Izzy then gasped as she felt the trap moving. "Is it levitating? Did I do it? Am I a levitating box?" she asked to her friends.
"Yep, it's working," Sonic replied, standing with an ice bag over his forehead.
"This is ridiculous. You can't even see!" Hitch called out, finding Izzy's plan silly since she can't see outside the box.
"But I can use my imagination!" Izzy cheered as she moved the box from side to side.
Hitch narrowed his eyes, thinking that this wouldn't work out. "Tour's canceled!" he yelled out with anger.
Pipp, Zipp, and Sunny gasped at what Hitch said. Sonic looked at him in disbelief and said, "The what now?" as the sheriff walked away. The rest looked at each other, trying to think of a way to change his mind.
"Wait, Hitch, look!" Sunny called out. Hitch turned around and saw that the girls had tied Izzy's box with a rope to carry her around without losing her.
Hitch was still unsure about this, and Sonic - still with the ice bag on his forehead - doubted, but then he smiled. "You know, this can actually work out," he said, giving this idea a chance.
Hitch exhales at the girls' persistence to go on the tour while also seeing that Sonic is willing to give the plan a chance. "Okay, fine. Right this way!" he cheers out with a smile. "Our tour begins with the Maretime Bay town square!" He leads the way as the group smiles at each other, happy that Hitch is willing to keep the tour going.
The Mane 5 and Sonic, with Izzy in tow, looked awed at Maretime Bay town square, loving the scene as they passed by some ponies and looked at the buildings.
As Hitch showed them the movie theater, Sonic noticed that the movie announced at the top was a pony version of Transformers, with a ponyfied Optimus Prime. The group walked past it, but Izzy's box hit the frame of pony Optimus on the sign, leaving a hole in it as it floated away, then hit a sign on the wall, dented a lamppost, and crushed a bench where an earth pony was sitting. Izzy wailed as she impacted, then hit a window sill of flowers where an earth pony mare was watering, and the flowers on the window fell to the ground while the mare stared in shock.
Hitch turned his head and showed his friends the now abandoned Canterlogic Building. He then looked shocked as he and his friends saw the destruction that Izzy's box made while being pulled, and the ponies behind them screamed in fright. Hitch cringed at the sight and gulped his throat, thinking that this might have to fill in some paperwork.
Later, at the Maretime Bay Museum, Houvre, Jazz, and Posey, with another earth pony, painted their version of the Pony Lisa based on their manes and coats.
Hitch pointed at them, then turned to look at his friends, but then he questioned what they were doing. Pipp was painting Izzy's box with her face on it, with hearts in her eyes, a heart next to her head, and a rainbow on the other side, as Pipp giggled at the painting.
Izzy gasps as she can tell what Pipp is doing. "Uh-huh!" Izzy said great work, even though she couldn't see it.
Hitch grumbled, stating that his friends were not following the tour as he walked away.
"Woohoo! Woo!" an earth pony stallion shouted as he swung from swing to swing. Hitch brought his friends to a place where Maretime Bay had a forest with bridges and swings on trees for ponies to enjoy.
Hitch laughed and pointed to the bridges but stopped as he looked at his friends again.
Hitch saw Zipp and Sonic swinging on two ropes of Izzy's box as they laughed. "Woohoo!" they cheered as they swung back and forth.
Sunny laughed as Pipp jumped up and down with a cheer, but then she gasped when she noticed Hitch looking at them. He grumbled and walked away.
A little while later, Hitch showed them the coast with a bored expression. "Last stop: the beach," he said in a motto tone as he showed them the ocean view.
"Wow," Pipp, Zipp, and Sunny said as they looked towards the ocean.
Sonic whistled and looked at the beach with a little smile. "Man, I hate water, but I'm not denying that this is an amazing look," he admitted.
Hitch then turned to Izzy with a sad look. "I thought you'd love this, Izzy," he told the trapped unicorn.
"I do love it, Hitch!" Izzy called out. "My favorite place in all of Maretime Bay!... We're looking at a parking meter, right? Oh, I love those things!" she called out, but it didn't make Hitch feel better.
Hitch narrows his eyes, having enough of Izzy being trapped in that box. "That is it! We have to get Izzy out of there now! Ahh!" he cried out as he tackled Izzy's box to the ground. Hitch tried to use a stick to snap the box open, but the stick broke, then he moved the box, then jumped up and down on the top of it, and then uses his teeth to try and bite it open. "Will nothing open this adorable cube prison!?" he cried in frustration.
"Well, that was sad to watch..." Sonic said with a bored expression, and Sunny hit him on his arm with a frown, so he decided to shut it for now.
"Don't you ever give up, Hitch. We just gotta think!" Izzy said with optimism, keeping Hitch positive of the circumstances. "Me and you, pony and box!" she cheerfully added as Hitch nodded confidently.
Hitch and Izzy started to hum, thinking of a way to get Izzy out of the box. The others looked at the two ponies in curiosity. They were both moving back and forth. Hitch stopped momentarily, and Izzy bumped into him, then giggled a little. Hitch looked at her with annoyance before resuming their thinking as they continued moving back and forth. Hitch stopped as he turned the other way, but Izzy kept moving as Sunny saw that Izzy was getting too close to the edge.
Pipp, Zipp, Sunny, and Sonic gasped as they saw that Izzy was about to go over the edge. "Izzy!" the mares all cried out as she was on the other side of the edge, and Sonic ran towards her and tried to stop the box.
"Izzy, stop!" he said while trying to slow the box down with his feet, but it was too late since Sonic stopped feeling the ground and looked down to find they would fall. "Oh damn..." he simply said, and they fell below.
Hitch turned and saw this when he heard the girls. "IZZY! SONIC!" he cried out, and the rest of the Mane 5 ran to the edge when they saw Izzy and Sonic rolling downhill. Izzy was cheering excitedly, but Sonic groaned in pain as he fell.
"Ahh, this is amazing! Woo-oo-oo-oo!" Izzy cheered as she rolled up to a ramp on the hill and flipped into the air.
"This is a nightmare!" Sonic yelled, still in pain with every hit, as he flipped.
The box landed on a sea stack, and Sonic impacted with the box. "Auch..." he groaned as the sea stack broke apart from the impact, but surprisingly, the box remained intact as it fell into the water, with Sonic falling as well.
The others saw this and were worried and shocked. They worried for Izzy and Sonic but were also shocked at how strong that trap was since it didn't break on impact with the sea stack.
"You have got to be kidding me..." Hitch said in disbelief, hoping that Izzy was okay but also wondering what Phyllis used to make these traps that strong.
The trap resurfaced, relieving the group as Izzy laughed inside the box, finding it quite fun. On the other hand, Sonic was sitting over the top of the box with an orange fish on his face. He took the fish out and threw it back to the sea, grinning out loud. "I hate water..."
Hitch fell to his flank as he felt down about what had happened that day. "My perfect tour... ruined!" he cried out. He flopped his head to the ground in despair, and the girls watched him.
Izzy levitated herself back to the group with Sonic still sitting on top. "Hey there, Hitchy-poo. What's wrong, buddy?" she asked in a concerned voice.
Hitch then answered her as he looked down to the ground. "This tour was supposed to show you that Maretime Bay is an amazing place to live!" he pointed out, wanting to show his friends that Maretime Bay is amazing.
"Well, mission complete, sheriff," Sonic spoke as he wrung the water from his gloves and put them back.
"Huh?" Hitch called out in curiosity, trying to get what he meant by that.
"We just had a blast. And it's all thanks to you!" Izzy pointed out as the other girls smiled at Hitch.
"Yeah, I've always wanted to see the Houvre. It's like a totally famous museum!" Pipp spoke from the museum earlier, stating that she always wanted to see it and got her wish thanks to Hitch.
"And how cool was that ropes course?" Zipp pointed out the rope course they had seen earlier and found the obstacle amazing. "I'm definitely going to check that out!" she added, wanting to return there sometimes.
"Count me on that boat too, Zipp!" Sonic yelled joyfully, getting water out of his shoes as he let the water drop on the edge.
"So...You all like Maretime Bay?" Hitch asked with a smile.
"We love it!" Pipp called out with a cheer.
"I feel more at home now," Zipp replied.
"Best tour I've ever been on. Seriously." Izzy said, even though she didn't look anything at all.
"It was an amazing ride," Sonic added with a smile. "Except for the part where I fell into water..."
Sunny came to Hitch smiling. "See, Hitch? When something doesn't go to plan, you just have to…" she stopped in midsection as she gave Hitch a smirk. "Wait for it... Think outside the box!" she punned out as she laughed at that joke.
Sonic smirked a little and rubbed his eyes with one hand. "Okay, that was a good one, I admitted," he confessed with a smile.
"That is so funny 'cause I'm inside a box!" Izzy stated, seeing Sunny's pun as Zipp and Pipp smiled at the pun.
Hitch laughed at that joke, but then he gasped as he remembered something. "Outside the box!" he called out. The sheriff searched Izzy's box, trying to find something with a little grunt; he checked the bottom and found that it had an emergency release switch. "Ah-hah!" he cheered out as he flipped the switch.
Then the Unicorn trap unfolds itself, releasing Izzy from the trap as her friends look at her with smiles. Izzy checked her surroundings as she trotted around her friends. "I'm a unicorn again!" she cheered as she bent down to the 'X' spot of the box. "We made some good memories though, didn't we, box? Now I can take the real tour!" she announced with a smile, as her friends smiled as well.
A little while later, the group retook the Maretime Bay tour to show Izzy what they had seen.
"Right this way, and you'll see... Ah!" Hitch tried to show them something but was cut off when he stepped on another unicorn trap, this time being him the one trapped, as the others looked at him with a look and Sunny's face walked herself. "...Uugh!" Hitch groans as karma strikes him.
Sonic, whoever, didn't take it too well and groaned. "OH, FOR CHAOS SAKE!" he yelled, as his electric power unleashed around his body. He pressed the red button, but since it didn't work like the last trap, he moved the box to one side, making Hitch groan in pain inside the box, and pressed the emergency switch button. Once Hitch was free, although lying on the floor, Sonic took the trap and strongly threw it into the ocean. "I hate those stupid boxes!" he yelled, but once he turned around, he found the shocked faces of his friends.
He then realized how he was looking, closed his eyes, and the electricity faded away. "Hehe... I guess I crossed the line there, didn't I?" he said with a nervous smile, blushing a little.
THE END
Great chapter And wow that was funny. With Izzy being trap in the unicorn box, that she didn’t see the tour that hitch planned and Hitch thought his friends weren’t paying attention and sonic got the pain side of the box, and water is not his thing since he can’t swim, and the others told Hitch that they enjoy the tour and Izzy got free with the emergency release underneath the box and is going to enjoy the tour for real, but hitch got trap in another one and sonic got ticked off that after he use his powers to try the button, which didn’t work until he went to the other one, to free hitch out of the box, he toss it to the ocean, with his friends watching in shock at what happened, sonic got embarrassed that they have to see that, anyway, awesome job, keep up the great work

Hey 24, how's your version going?
Please give Sonic a Super Blue form and make the Chaos Emeralds even more powerful and allow Sonic to tap deep into the emeralds’ into deep reserves of chaos energy that lays untapped for years. Maybe also have a chapter where they find the remains of Ponyville and Cantalot from G4.

I’ve seen super sonic blue before but question, what’s it even about and how did it even happen. Because I cannot find any info on it.
The only explanation I could figure was a glitch in Sonic Mania, where you could have super sonic look blue. So can I please have some context at least.
I am surprised Tails & Knuckles have not shown up yet. I wonder why though?
11367515
Well they have already! (Though unwittingly) Where Canterlot used to be, is where Zephyr Heights is, and Ponyville is now the Bridlewood Forest, which also used to be Everfree! Since Sombra destroyed the the Tree and with it Elements of Harmony in season nine of G4, Ponyville was eventually overtaken by the Everfree Forest!

None of that is canon, nor in my story nor in the actual show.
In fact, Canterlot is not even close to any of the three G5 cities. And the Everfree Forest is miles away from Bridlewood. Don't know where you read otherwise, but that's not true.
Good chapter😊
