Chapter 8.5
The walk up the mountain was silent between Mordecai and Twilight for a good while. “What’s wrong with Twilight? She wanted to talk earlier,” he thought to himself in worry. Mordecai started thinking over their conversation from earlier.
**FLASHBACK**
Twilight had just finished telling him about her mishaps when she forgot to write a friendship report for Princess Celestia. He ended up laughing at the situation and said, “Y-you really got that stressed over one lousy letter?”
Twilight lowered her ears and her head in embarrassment and quickened her pace from Mordecai. His laughter settled after he noticed that she had distanced herself away from him. He then asked, “Twilight, are you ok? Twilight?”
He got no response from her, and he decided to quicken his pace to catch up to her.
**END FLASHBACK**
Mordecai smacked his forehead after remembering his antics and instantly regretted it. “UGH! Smooth move you idiot! She’s not gonna like you for that,” he sternly thought to himself. Once he finally caught up to her, he tried to get her attention and said, “Twilight?” He didn’t get a response from her; all she did was continued her walk and checked the map in silence. “The silent treatment. Yeah, she hates you now Mordecai,” he thought sadly. He looked at the ground, feeling completely guilty and sad for laughing at her. “There’s only one thing you can do at this point,” Mordecai thought to himself.
Mordecai wanted to apologize to her and said, “Twilight, umm about earlier. I know you were trying to pass the time by telling stories, and I ended up laughing at one of your mishaps. I just want to say I’m-.” But before he could finish, Twilight interrupted him by saying, “Shhh!”
He gave her a questioning look and saw why she had shushed him. What he saw was the aftermath of an avalanche. The dirt and rocks had built a giant hill blocking their path. With no other way around this area, they had no choice but to work with what was still considered the fastest way to reach the top of the mountain and get the emerald. They remained quiet as they climbed the dirt hill, in hopes of preventing a second avalanche. Mordecai had slipped a couple of times, but he was able to get a grip on the buried rocks that stuck out to keep him from sliding to the bottom. They were both exhausted after they reached the top of the dirt hill. Going downhill was a lot easier for them, but they watched their steps and did their best from sliding down the hill. They reached the bottom of the hill with sore feet and hooves. They decided to take a short break after they gave themselves a good distance from the avalanche area.
Mordecai said, “That was rough. How did that avalanche happen?” Twilight said, “It was an accident. Remember when I said that my friends and I came here before?” He simply said, “Yeah, I remember.” She continued the conversation and said, “Well, that journey was to try and convince a sleeping dragon that lived in the cave to leave.” He interrupted her and asked, “It was that bad?” She nodded and said, “Yes, it would have been very bad. He blew smoke while he was snoring, and Ponyville was going to end up being covered in it for a hundred years if we didn’t do anything.”
Mordecai nodded in understanding and said, “I know I wouldn’t want to live in an area that would be covered in smoke.” Twilight said with a chuckle, “I don’t think anyone would.” He looked back at the avalanche and asked, “So how did this avalanche happen anyway?” She said, “Before we talked the dragon into leaving, Fluttershy overreacted and accidentally caused the avalanche. It’s kind of funny looking at it now. I still remember that after we arrived at the cave, Fluttershy told us that she was scared of dragons.” Confused by this, Mordecai asked, “Wait, isn’t she and the rest of your friends…friends with Spike?” Twilight said, “Yeah, she can handle Spike because he’s a baby dragon, but a fully-grown dragon is another story.” Mordecai said with a nod, “Okay, that makes sense.” Twilight said, “After she got upset from the dragon attacking us, Fluttershy put her hoof down and was able to convince that dragon to leave.”
Concerned about the incident, he asked, “You weren’t hurt too bad by the dragon, were you? I assumed that it would have breathed fire or something.” She said, “No, we weren’t hurt too bad. I’m just grateful he didn’t blow fire at us.” After they were well-rested, they got back on their hooves and feet and continued their journey to the cave. After walking a short distance, Twilight remembered the conversation they had before climbing up the dirt hill. She said, “Oh, uh Mordecai. Were you trying to apologize before we got through the avalanche area?”
They both stopped walking after she asked her question. He scratched the back of his head and said, “Yeah, I was. I didn’t mean to upset you in any way when you told me about that whole crazy scene you had over a letter you didn’t send to Celestia. I should have known that you’d take your work very seriously. I’m sorry about that.”
Twilight looked at him and said, “It’s okay Mordecai, it was embarrassing now that I look back at it. As much as I like getting things organized and finishing all of my tasks on time, I shouldn’t have freaked out the way I did and tried to create a problem.” Mordecai stays quiet to let her talk more. She continues and says, “Princess Celestia ended up telling me that she didn’t need a report every week and my friends also came to my rescue when they thought that scenario I mentioned before was going to actually happen, after that, Celestia tasked my friends to do the letters when they learn something.” Mordecai said, “That was good of her to do, taking some stress off of you.” Twilight smiled at him as he says this, and he thought at the same time, “Celestia really has a weird obsession for letters.”
They continued their walk as Twilight says, “It’s funny that I also ended up getting a visit from my future self for being too organized. Too bad I didn’t finish telling myself that message and I panicked for the whole week over some disaster that didn’t even happen.” Mordecai lightly chuckled at this and thought to himself, “Why does that sound familiar?”
He then said, “At least that was one week. I ended up getting a visit from myself ten years from now.” Twilight was surprised by that revelation and says, “Ten years? What was so important that you got a visit from yourself that far from the future?” Mordecai says, “Rigby and I wanted to learn how to play our instruments for a contest in a single day. I was playing the guitar; he was playing the bass.” Surprised by this, Twilight said, “I didn’t know you could play an instrument. What was the contest for?” Realizing what he had said, and not wanting to talk about his old crush, he decided to change the subject and said, “It’s not important, besides, while we were performing, we learned that our future selves were lip-synchers.” Twilight says, “Lip-synchers? As in…, they were frauds?” Mordecai hears the disapproval in her tone and says, “Yeah, and apparently they were very famous because of it. We ended up dropping out of the contest on the spot, because we didn’t like it, nor would we accept doing something as lame as lip-synching.” Twilight smiles at this revelation and says, “At least you have your morals in the right place.” Mordecai smiles bashfully at this.
Unknown to the two, while they were walking, they were getting closer together and they didn’t take notice until they bumped into each other. They looked at each other in surprise and they instantly looked away from each other at the same time, both trying to hide their blushing faces from each other. Twilight says, “Sorry about that.” Trying to not sound nervous, Mordecai quickly says, “It-it’s cool.”
As Finn’s sword came down, he was certain that he had won the fight against Sonic. Unfortunately for him, his sword suddenly stopped with a clang, and he saw that Sonic was wielding the Root Sword. Finn had unknowingly left it outside of the Tree Fort and Sonic spotted it at the last second, he picked it up and stopped his sword with it. Sonic then kicked Finn in the stomach and he jumped up to his feet. Finn held his stomach with his left hand and coughed, showing the impact Sonic’s kick had on him. He then glared up at him and growled in frustration. Sonic tried to reason with him and said, “Look, Finn. We need to end this fight right now; we have a bigger problem right now.” Listening to only half of what he said, Finn said, “Your right on one thing Sonic, this fight needs to end right now. And it’ll end with me killing you right where you stand!”
Sonic rolled his eyes at Finn’s response and took his stance while wielding the Root Sword. “Okay, he wants to learn the hard way,” he thought to himself. Knuckles, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Jake arrived in time to see Sonic and Finn staring each other down. Curious after seeing his actions, Knuckles asked, “Sonic, what are you-?” Sonic interrupted him and yelled, “Stay back guys!” Finn also yelled, saying, “Yeah, stay back Jake!” Jake tried to reason with him and said, “But-” Finn interrupted him and said, “Butts are for pooping! I got this!”
The group, excluding Jake, was left confused by Finn’s outburst. Rainbow Dash said, “Okay… C’mon Sonic, we want to help!” Sonic said, “Just leave it to me! The last thing I want is for any of you to get hurt on my watch. This fight shouldn’t take long anyway.”
Rainbow Dash crossed her forehooves and pouted saying, “Fine.” After everyone understood that the fight was going to be between Sonic and Finn only, they gave themselves distance from them to avoid any distractions for the two. The two then dashed toward each other with their respective swords in their hands. They swung their weapons at each other and made contact with their swords. The two glared at each other, pressing their swords with all of their might. Finn pushed Sonic off with all of his strength. He then lunged forward and swung his sword at him; Sonic, however, dodged the attack effortlessly. Finn continued swinging his sword at Sonic, but because of his speed, Finn couldn’t touch him. After another missed attack from Finn, Sonic was seen in the distance and had a cocky grin on his face. He then said, “Hehe, you’re not bad Finn.”
After making his comment, Sonic raised his sword and dashed toward Finn. He also started running towards him and had his sword ready. In an instant, both Finn and Sonic had swung their swords and were facing away from each other. Because of the speed of the attacks, the group wasn’t able to see what had happened between them. Sonic winced and grabbed his left shoulder; it had a small gash on it. Finn turned around and grinned after seeing Sonic on his knees from his attack. Finn suddenly got a scratch on his right cheek and part of his hat was also cut from the attack. Sonic got back on his feet and turned around to face Finn. Finn charged at Sonic and continued his attack on him.
While the two continued their sword fight, Knuckles, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Jake were talking with each other to pass the time. The group questioned Jake’s ability to stretch himself, and how he was able to get his powers. His response to them was that he was a magical dog and that he doesn’t remember how he got his powers. After their conversation lasted a while, they ended up on the subject of Finn and Sonic. Rainbow Dash asked him, “How do you know Finn by the way?” Jake said, “He’s my brother. My parents took him in when he was a baby, and raised him like he was their own.”
Sonic launched himself in a homing attack while spinning the Root Blade in a buzz saw-like attack. Finn was left breathing heavily after blocking the attack. After the attack, Sonic was on his knees, attempting to catch his breath. Finn didn’t want to admit it, but Sonic was a lot stronger than he looked. Sonic had similar thoughts about Finn and was amazed at the knowledge he had of sword fighting, despite how young he appeared to him. He slowly got back on his feet, trying his best to shake off his weariness.
Finn thrust his sword at Sonic, but he caught the blade with his sword and stopped the attack. Finn grinned after seeing this and started swinging his sword around in a circular motion. Sonic tried to hold onto the sword, but after the third circle move, the Root Blade was sent flying out of his hands, leaving him defenseless. Sonic was in a state of shock to see that his sword was thrown to the side and was stabbed into the ground a few feet away from them. Finn started swinging his sword at him, but he dodged each of the attacks with his swift moves. Finn swung his sword in a large, horizontal arc, but Sonic escaped the attack at the last second.
Sonic then bounced off of his right hand and flipped backward toward his sword. Finn saw this and chased after him. He then jumped in the air and readied his attack to finish off the defenseless hedgehog. Sonic, however, got to the Root Blade, turned around quickly, and readied his counterattack on Finn. The group covered their eyes from what was going to happen next, but instead of hearing any contact being made, there was silence between Sonic and Finn. What everyone saw next really surprised them. They saw that Finn was levitating in the air, in a cyan aura coating, not moving a muscle. Sonic was also pinned with the same cyan aura, not moving from the position he was in. “What the what?” he asked in confusion.
Finn tried to move, hoping to break free, but it was no use. A voice suddenly shouted, “That’s enough from you two!” Sonic recognized the voice and said, “Huh? What the? Silver? What are you doing here?” A white-grey hedgehog was then seen floating toward the two. Finn then said, “And why did you stop us? I was going to kill him!” Silver simply said, “I’d take a better look if I were you.”
Finn was confused about Silver’s explanation and looked down. He saw that he had his sword positioned to strike Sonic in his throat. “What does Silver mean,” Finn thought to himself in confusion. After getting a better look at where he was floating, he was shocked to see that Sonic had the Root Blade positioned at his chest where his heart was. The realization of the situation hit him, seeing that if the attack wasn’t stopped, both he and Sonic would have stabbed each other. Finn then yelled in shock, “WHOA!!!” “Now you see what I mean?” asked the hedgehog. Finn nodded in response. Silver then moved Finn a few feet away from Sonic and released them from his powers. Both Sonic and Finn thrust their swords in a delayed response before Silver came and stopped them.
Sonic got back on his feet and said, “Thanks Silver. What brings you here? And how did you get here?” The ponies, Knuckles, Finn, and Jake gathered themselves and were ready to listen to what Silver had to say. He said, “I’ll start with how I got here. Both Blaze and I came back to this time with the help of a pony that has some blue phone booth box that can travel through time.” Curious about this, Rainbow Dash asked, “What blue box, and who was the pony?” Silver said, “It started with a “T”; I forgot what he called it. As for the pony, all he told me was that he was “The Doctor” and that he was going to meet someone in Ponyville. Blaze went with him to Ponyville to take care of what we needed to be taken care of over there.” Applejack asked, “And what would that be exactly?” He said, “To change the future and prevent a disaster.” After hearing this, Knuckles asked, “What happened exactly?” Silver said, “Both Time Eater and Discord have taken over the planet.”
Everyone had a shocked/surprised look on their faces after hearing the news from Silver. Finn and Jake looked at each other in confusion, not knowing who they were. Jake then spoke up and asked, “Who’s this Time Eater and Discord guy you're talking about?” Silver said, “Me, Sonic, Knuckles, and some of our friends dealt with Time Eater during Sonic’s birthday. It is a giant smog-like monster that can erase time and space. As for Discord, he is known as a draconequus.” Finn asked, “A what?” Rarity answered his question and said, “He is a creature that has the head of a pony and the body of different animals. He’s also known as the spirit of chaos and disharmony.” Silver said, “Thank you Rarity. These two have abilities of their own to mess with reality, but when you put them together, they REALLY can cause more problems than they ever could alone.” After they were told of who Discord and Time Eater were, Finn and Jake nodded in understanding.
Finn thought over the situation and asked, “If they are as dangerous as you say, how come no one has stopped them in your time?” Silver had a forlorn look on his face and said, “Sonic is the only one that had defeated Time Eater the last time we had met, and in that one time, he had help with his younger self. But something happened that caused him to die in my time.” Surprised by this, Sonic said in confusion, “WHAT?!?!” Knowing that there wasn’t enough time to tell them the story, Silver said, “I’m not sure what it was, but I guess that it was your fight with Finn. As for Discord, he managed to get his hands on all of the Chaos Emeralds, and his powers threatened anyone that challenged him.” Rainbow Dash asked in a worried tone, “What happened with the Elements of Harmony? Those should have stopped him easily.” Silver shook his head and said, “I’m not sure, but I think when he got all seven emeralds, he was too strong for the elements to handle. He even created his own island, and in there, he has corrupted everyone’s minds and they have become his mindless slaves.” Finn asked, “Everyone?” Silver said, “Yes, everyone, and anyone that he could capture and control easily. With that, he has an army of his own.”
Finn wasn’t sure how strong these emeralds were, but he still needed to know. He turned to the group and asked, “Are the Chaos Emeralds really that powerful?” Sonic answered him and said, “Knuckles and I have seen them work for other things before, so yeah, they are VERY powerful. Also, with what Silver just said, I was already afraid of what Discord could do with them when he mentioned that he knew about the emeralds when I first bumped into him, but him having the ability to control anyone, that makes it even worse.” Knuckles said, “Our friend’s radar had picked up a signal that read that one of the emeralds is here.”
Both Finn and Jake started thinking about the events from the previous day. They remembered something falling toward the Fire Kingdom. Finn then said, “Jake and I saw something red fall in that direction last night. Could that be what you guys are looking for?” Everyone turned in the direction Finn pointed at. Sonic asked, “Where is that spot exactly?” He said, “It’s the Fire Kingdom, I’m not sure what it was, but Jake and I saw something red crash in that area.” Knuckles said, “One of the emeralds is red, so that has to be it.” Sonic said in enthusiasm, “Then what are we waiting for? Let’s get going!!”
But before they could leave in the direction Finn told them, everyone heard a small cough that sounded close to them. Jake then went over to a nearby rock and lifted it to reveal a small fire underneath it. The group grew concerned after seeing the fire, believing that it would cause a forest fire. Knuckles spoke up and said, “Aren’t you guys going to put it out?” A mysterious voice suddenly said, “That won't be necessary knucklehead.”
Everyone, excluding Finn and Jake, became surprised by the sudden outburst. Sonic, however, started laughing at Knuckles from being called a “knucklehead”. Before Knuckles could punch him, the group got a better look at the small fire as it came out from under the rock. The small flame then revealed a small face on a small body with stubby arms and legs and a small tail. Finn introduced the fireball to everyone and said, “Oh, right. Everyone, this little fireball is Flambo. Flambo, these guys are here to get something that had fallen in the Fire Kingdom.” Flambo waved his arms and said, “Actually kid, I wouldn’t bet on going there if I were you. I got a tip from a reliable source that a familiar goblin had gone there and taken something from the kingdom. I wouldn’t know if it was in the Fire Kingdom or not. My sources also told me that the goblin was heading to the Goblin Kingdom to try and is attempting a takeover.”
Finn thought over who the mysterious goblin was and said, “Hmm, that sounds like Xergiok.” Rainbow Dash asked, “Who in the hay is Xergiok?” Jake said, “Xergiok was a tyrant king in the Goblin Kingdom.” After hearing this, Rarity said, “Was? What happened to him?” Finn simply said, “Jake and I kicked his butt and dethroned him.” Sonic said, “Just like that? He sounds like a pushover.” Finn said, “He uses magic wands to fight, of course, he is,” as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. He continued and said, “If he actually did find the Chaos Emerald, who knows how much stronger he is after what you’ve told us.”
Jake then grew in size and got Finn, Sonic, Applejack, Rarity, and Knuckles on his back and started running in the direction of the Goblin Kingdom; Rainbow Dash chose to follow everyone by flying. Sonic wanted to run, but considering what they were put through, Finn thought it would be better for Sonic to rest while Jake carried them to the Goblin Kingdom. Finn noticed the angry expression Sonic had; along with his arms being crossed and that his right foot was doing a tapping motion, easily showing his frustration. He turned to Knuckles and asked, “What’s up with Sonic?” He said, “Sonic is easily impatient. Try to talk to him about something to take his mind off of the travel.” Finn said, “Like what? I don’t know him that well.” Applejack said, “Just ask him anything.”
Finn thought for a second and said, “So Sonic, how many emeralds do you guys have so far?” Sonic started calming down from his boredom. He turned to Finn and said, “So far, we’ve got two. The rest of the group went to Ponyville to get the one over there.” Confused by this, Finn asked, “Ponyville? How far is it from here?” Sonic said, “Quite a ways away, I’m not entirely sure myself.”
Curious about Sonic’s lifestyle, Finn asked, “Do you have any adventures on your travels?” Sonic said with a grin, “Yeah, plenty of adventures! I live for them! I’ve been through a lot. There was this one time I had to fix the planet when it broke into pieces before.” Shocked by this, Finn said, “What?! When did this happen?” Before he could explain his adventure, they slowly arrived at the Goblin Kingdom. The group saw smoke coming from the kingdom and assumed something was going down. Sonic then said, “I’ll tell you later.”
Once the group got closer to the Goblin Kingdom, they spotted Xergiok wreaking havoc within the kingdom with a new magic wand, but what surprised everyone the most was the power source on top of the wooden wand. Sonic said, “Looks like your pal Flambo wasn’t lying.” Applejack said, “But it looks like he forgot to tell us about them.” The group turned around and saw that Xergiok had brought an army of earclopses and cyclopses to the Goblin Kingdom. Finn yelled, “FOR THE LOVE OF GLOB, FLAMBO!!!”
After seeing what they were up against, Knuckles said, “I see the cyclopses, but what are those other things?” Finn said, “Those are earclopses, but I wouldn’t worry about them.” Curious about this, Rainbow Dash asked, “And why is that?” He replied with a grin and said, “Because Xergiok forgot to get earplugs for them again.” Rarity said, “Earplugs, for those things?” Jake nodded and said, “Yup, with ears that big, they can’t handle a simple shout without passing out.”
After hearing what they needed to hear on taking down the earclops’ army, Jake, Knuckles, Silver, Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Applejack went ahead and started their attacks on the army Xergiok brought with him. Before Sonic could join the others to take on the army, both he, and Finn heard a couple of goblins yelling in pain, followed by laughter not too far from them. Sonic asked, “What’s going on?” Finn said, “Must be Xergiok spanking some of the goblins.” Sonic said in disbelief, “Spanking? Are you serious Finn?” He said, “Yes, that’s what he did to the goblins before we dethroned him.” Sonic smacked his forehead and muttered, “Oh boy,” under his breath.
The duo then went to the place where the yelling came from and saw Xergiok spanking three goblins mercifully. Without thinking of a plan, Sonic jumped right in and was prepared to fight the spank-happy goblin. He lifted his sword to him and said, “That’ll be the last butt you spank ugly!” Xergiok stopped spanking the helpless goblin and turned to face the intruder. He saw the blue hedgehog standing before him, wielding his sword, prepared for a fight. After he turned around, Sonic thought to himself in surprise, “Man, did I call that one.”
The goblin then declared, “And who is the fool that thinks he can challenge the mighty Xergiok?!” Sonic did his best from chuckling at the title and said, “Mighty Xergiok? From what I’ve heard, you’re a complete pushover.” Angered by this, Xergiok yelled, “Pushover?! Tell me blue one, can a mere pushover do this!!” In an instant, a powerful energy of chaos was fired from Xergiok’s wand. Sonic dodged the blast with ease, but Xergiok fired multiple blasts at him while he was still airborne. Sonic saw this and swatted as many blasts as he could with his sword. After he deflected each of the blasts, one more blast was heading for him. He wasn’t ready to deflect the attack and was prepared for the impact the blast was going to have on him.
Fortunately for him, Finn had jumped in and deflected the blast at the last second. After the blast was deflected, Xergiok looked on in displeasure to see the familiar boy once again and said, “Oh, it’s you.” Finn said, “Yeah, it’s me. Muffintop!” Xergiok got angry after hearing what Finn had called him. Sonic, however, was trying his best at keeping himself from laughing at Xergiok from Finn’s outburst. Out of rage, Xergiok started firing multiple energy balls at both Finn and Sonic. Sonic dodged the attacks with his speed, while Finn deflected each of the energy balls with his sword. Xergiok then brought out multiple energy balls and randomly fired them at the duo. The attack didn’t faze them; they simply deflected each of the attacks without flinching.
After deflecting the last of the energy balls, it ended up hitting Xergiok in the face. The impact caused him to drop his wand. With that Finn, picked up the wand, took the emerald off it, and once again, destroyed it. He put the red emerald in his pack and both he and Sonic pointed their swords at Xergiok, seeing that he had no outs to this, he admitted defeat, and he fled the Goblin Kingdom once again. Both Finn and Sonic turned to see that the earclopses and the cyclopses were defeated. Sonic, in response, gave everyone a thumbs up for their accomplishment. But before everyone could celebrate their victory, Time Eater suddenly appeared, spreading fear to everyone in the Goblin Kingdom. It opened up multiple portals and started sucking all of the goblins in. Jake saw this and wrapped everyone up tightly while securing himself by holding onto two nearby trees. Time Eater then opened another portal and attempted to try and suck Finn into the portal. He felt the force the portal had and became worried about where the portal would suck him to if he didn’t think of anything. Finn attempted to keep himself from flying into the portal by stabbing his sword into the ground, but before he could do this, Time Eater fired its immobilizing sphere at Finn and prevented him from stabbing his sword into the ground.
After Sonic saw what Time Eater had done, he came by Finn and used Chip’s necklace to protect them from the portal. Time Eater was enraged from seeing the barrier Sonic generated again. It closed the portal, knowing there was no point against the barrier. Billy then appeared wielding his sword and starred down Time Eater. Finn saw this, and once he was able to move again, he ran out of the shield, wanting to join Billy in the fight. Sonic saw this and dropped the shield, confused by this new person joining them, not realizing that dropping the shield had now left him defenseless. Time Eater saw this opportunity and swatted Sonic with all of its might. The hit caused Sonic to drop the purple emerald, while he crashed through the Goblin Kingdom’s walls and skidded to a stop on the ground face first just outside the kingdom. After seeing him get hit, Finn yelled, “Sonic!!!”
He runs to Sonic as he lies unconscious on the ground. Time Eater, being much bigger than Finn gets to him first and attacks the defenseless hedgehog, he fires orbs at him and they make contact, covering him in smoke. Seeing this, Finn fears the worst and yells, “NOOOO!!!!” The dust started to clear, Finn stands in shock, thinking that he failed in protecting Sonic, and he started blaming himself for putting him in this situation. He heard flickers and he looks up to see that Sonic was protected by the green force field from earlier, something Time Eater roars in frustration over, catching everyone’s attention in the Land of Ooo. Finn breathed a sigh of relief after seeing he was okay. Time Eater takes a look around and sees the purple Chaos Emerald laying not too far from Finn. Finn sees where Time Eater was looking and sees the emerald.
Time Eater flies towards the emerald in an attempt to steal it. Seeing this, Finn started running in an attempt to try and get to it before Time Eater could, not knowing that the emerald can affect the dark being, but before either of them could reach it, the emerald was picked up by Billy, giving Finn great relief. He then said, “Billy! Thank Glob you got to it first! I need that emerald for my friend.” Billy went to Time Eater, making Finn believe that he was going to fight the creature by himself. He turned to Finn and clutched the emerald in his right hand and had a wicked grin appearing on his face. He lifted his head and looked at Finn with a crazy look in his eyes and said, “Thank you, Finn.” He was then engulfed in a bright light, causing Finn to shield his eyes from the brightness. After the light subsided, it revealed Discord standing before him with a grin on his face. Finn then gasped and stared in shock at what had just happened. Discord then said, “Thank you for being such a fool!” He laughed at the dumbfounded human standing before him.
Finn became enraged after realizing the trickery he had been put through. He unsheathed his sword and charged at Discord with a yell. He tried to attack him with a swing of his sword, Discord, however, snapped his fingers and teleported before Finn could make contact. Time Eater tore open a portal and disappeared in it, satisfied that the plan nabbed them a second emerald. After they disappeared, everyone went over to Sonic and saw that he still had his face planted in the ground. He didn’t make any movements, and they grew concerned for his well-being. Finn told everyone that he has something that can help him, but he left it back at the Tree Fort. In an instant, the group pulled Sonic out of the ground and put him on Jake’s back. He once again grew in size and carried everyone to the Tree Fort as fast as he could. Jake asked, “How’s he holding up back there?” Silver checked for Sonic’s pulse on his neck and said, “He is doing okay, but we need to hurry up.”
Sonic remained unconscious while his friends carried him to safety, but his mind was elsewhere while he was in this state. He remembered the surprise birthday party he had with his friends not too long ago. He sees everyone enjoying themselves with the food and being with each other, not having to deal with Eggman or any of his schemes, no natural disaster to worry about, just him and his friends spending a long-awaited day of rest and relaxation with one another at his party. That was until Time Eater tore open a portal into reality and ruined it.
“You couldn’t stop me before hedgehog.”
Sonic was confused by the voice he just heard. The party went from peaceful to chaotic in a second from an unknown blast and he remembers how powerless he felt as he watched his friends get sucked into the multiple portals Time Eater summoned back then; he felt even worse when he sees himself try to stop Time Eater from kidnapping his friends as they plead for his help, but failing to save them as Time Eater swatted him away like a bug.
“What makes you think you can stop me now?”
Sonic turns around and sees Time Eater along with Twilight and the rest of her friends in front of him. Time Eater raised his hands and engulfed them into six purple energy spheres. Shocked by this, Sonic runs towards them as fast as he could, but before he could reach them, Time Eater made the spheres disappear in an instant, not a single trace of the ponies was left in sight. Sonic looked on in despair, hand extended as he tried to save them, but to no avail.
“You’ll fail once again Sonic, but this time, the stakes will be much higher. You’ll be letting down many more of these creatures and this time, you won’t have your younger self to back you up.”
Time Eater disappears, laughing at Sonic as he falls to his knees in defeat, knowing that he failed to save them.
Finn squirted a bottle of cyclops tears onto Sonic’s face, and he woke up in an instant. He was breathing heavily and had a look of terror on his face as if he had just come out of a nightmare. Still in shock, he said, “Dude!! What the heck was that for?!” After saying this, he desperately tried to shake off the water, leaving everyone, but Knuckles, curious about his actions. Finn said, “It was just Cyclops' tears. You were pretty beat up from that hit Time Eater gave you.” Sonic rubbed his head, remembering the incident. He got a better look at his left shoulder and saw that the wound had disappeared. Realization suddenly hit him, and he searched himself in a panic. He said, “Where’s the emerald? I know I had it!!” Finn said in depression, “Sorry Sonic, they took it.” In an instant, Sonic grabbed Finn by his shirt and said, “YOU BETTER BE KIDDING WITH ME RIGHT NOW FINN!!!!” He said, “I wish I was, but that’s what happened after Time Eater smacked you. You dropped the emerald and Discord took it.”
Sonic loosened his grip on him and said, “What about the other emerald?” Finn reached into his pack, pulled out the red emerald, and said, “I put it away as soon as we kicked Xergiok’s butt, remember?” Sonic took the emerald and was relieved that they still had one emerald with them. He turned to Finn and said, “At least something good came out of this. Let’s get back to Ponyville guys, I’m sure the others got the emerald there by now.” Everyone nodded and they were ready to go.
After everyone gathered around him, Sonic raise the emerald and said, “Chaos-” But before he activated the emerald’s energy, Finn yelled, “Wait!” Sonic said, “What’s up Finn?” He asked, “Can Jake and I join you guys?” Sonic gave Finn a questioning look. Finn then said, “Discord was the one that tricked me into fighting you, and he took that emerald from me. I’m not gonna let that son of a toot get away with that!” Sonic chuckled at this insult and said, “You’re a good fighter Finn; the two of you are more than welcome to join us. How about you Silver?” Silver said, “Blaze and I are here until Time Eater and Discord are stopped.” Sonic said, “All right to Ponyville we go.” Sonic then said, “Chaos Control,” and with that, everyone was engulfed in a bright light and disappeared from the Tree Fort.
Earlier in Ponyville
“Anyway, all I can say is, you’re lucky to have me as a friend. I can teach you how to balance work and taking breaks at the same time,” says Mordecai after finishing a previous conversation between the two. Twilight playfully rolled her eyes at this and said, “The life of a slacker? I don’t know.” He said, “Hey, I said I might slack off, but I still know when to get back to work.” She said, “Yeah, that’s true.” He continued and said, “Besides, if you learned from Rigby, then that’d be a REAL problem.” The two shared a laugh as they were near the top of the mountain.
While they continued their walk, Twilight ended up thinking about how Mordecai was able to play the guitar and what got him into playing it. She remembered that he was dismissive about why they did that contest, but before she could ask, Mordecai had suddenly stopped walking. He said in relief, “Ugh, finally! I thought we’d never get here.” After coming out of her thoughts, Twilight looked over and saw that they had finally reached the top of the mountain, with the cave in sight. He said, “All right, this was a lot easier than I thought!” Twilight couldn’t help but smile at Mordecai’s excitement. She then said, “Besides climbing up here?” He said, “Well, yeah, besides that. No one ever said anything in life is easy.” She said, “That’s true. Let’s get that emerald and meet everyone at Sugarcube Corner.” Mordecai asked, “And get that chocolate cake for celebration?” Twilight said with a smile, “Sure.” He said, “Then what are we waiting for?!”
They walked into the cave and were ready to get the emerald. They walked towards a spot in the cave where a little bit of sunlight was shown through a hole in the ceiling of the cave. Mordecai then pulled out the radar and checked the cave for the emerald’s location. But before they could look over the radar, a sparkle of light twinkled in the dark part of the cave. After seeing it, Mordecai asked, “Did you see that?” Twilight said, “Yes, I saw that.” He asked, “Could that be the emerald?” She said, “It might be, let’s check it out.”
As soon as they approached the dark part of the cave, Mordecai pulled out the flashlight and switched it on. Twilight used her horn and illuminated the cave with a light raspberry glow, helping Mordecai with the lighting in the cave. He turned to her and said, “That’s helpful.” She smiled shyly at him and said, “Thanks.” With the cave being fully lit up, they didn’t see anything in it that could cause some sort of trouble for them. With nothing to worry about, they walked over to a pedestal and grabbed the yellow emerald. After getting the emerald, both Mordecai and Twilight felt uneasy about the whole thing. Mordecai said, “That was just too easy.” Twilight asked, “You also have that feeling that something’s up?” He said, “Yeah… I’ve played video games and watched plenty of movies, and nothing is supposed to be that easy.” She said, “I’ve read these kinds of things in my books. Trust me, I know what you mean.”
They left the area, still feeling cautious over the emerald’s location. Mordecai looked at the yellow emerald, and couldn’t shake the feeling that something didn’t feel right. As they left the dark part of the cave, a sudden flash appeared behind them. They immediately turned around and saw Discord standing before them. Twilight said, “What do you want Discord?” He simply said, “I’m here to take what’s mine.” Mordecai said, “Hmm-hmm. You mean this?” He held up the emerald for Discord to see. His response was laughter, causing Mordecai and Twilight to look at each other in confusion. Mordecai then said, “What’s so funny? This just says that we have three emeralds to the zero you have.” Discord settled from his laughter and decided to take his plan into action.
After calming down, Discord said, “And what exactly are you going to do with a piece of stalactite?” Confused by this, Mordecai said, “Huh?” After looking at it again, the emerald changed into a piece of stalactite, as Discord stated. He dropped it and said, “What the -? Where’s the emerald?” After Mordecai turned his back to him, Discord snapped his fingers and teleported Mordecai back into the dark part of the cave and put up a force field, keeping him inside. Mordecai punched the force field, but it did him no good. Twilight then stomps her hoof into the ground, showing that she was readying herself to charge at Discord. Seeing this, he raised his hands in defense and said, “Before you do any sudden attacks, I think you should know something about your friend over there.” Twilight said, “I know enough. Whatever you have to say about him in another one of your lies, it's not going to work on me.” He then said in a know-it-all tone, “That’s the thing you don’t know, I know something that’s actually truthful.” She laughed at this and says, “Yeah right. What makes you think this will be any different from the rest of the “truths” you’ve told?” He said, “Simple my dear. Your friend over there has been hiding something from you this whole time.”
Mordecai raised an eyebrow in curiosity and was wondering where he was going with the conversation. Discord then looked up at him, with an expression that says, “I know your secret.” Realization suddenly struck him and he said to himself, “Oh no…” He desperately started hitting the barrier and yelled, “Twilight, don’t listen to him!!!” Unknown to Mordecai, the barrier was not only strong but soundproof as well, his pleas fell on deaf ears by the time he tried to warn her. Discord had already snapped his fingers and opened up a portal, revealing to her, what Mordecai didn’t want her to find out, his mishaps with the unicorns back at the park. Although what Discord was showing Twilight was the truth, he exaggerated the details so that the unicorns that Mordecai killed weren’t the ones that he encountered, but they instead looked like the ones from Equestria. After seeing this, Mordecai desperately rammed his shoulder into the force field in an attempt to try to knock it down, wanting to tell Twilight what she was seeing was a lie.
After showing Twilight the incident, and seeing his attempts, Discord let the force field fade, causing Mordecai to fall to the ground after he tried ramming it again. Mordecai looks up, and he sees the look of terror on Twilight’s face as she looks at him. He reached out his hand to her and said, “Twilight, please let me explain.” But instead of listening to him, Twilight backed away from his reach, fear overtakes her after what she saw. He desperately tried to reach his hand out to her again, but she ran out of the cave on the verge of crying. He yelled, “TWILIGHT!!” His hand still out, he felt hurt after seeing the scared look on her face, now believing that everything was ruined between them. Discord chuckled at this and said, “Now THIS is what I call ‘entertainment’. The drama, the suspense, a potential ship getting sunk. I’m now wondering how this will play out.” He held the yellow emerald in his lion paw, while he ate popcorn with his eagle claw, chuckling to himself as he enjoyed the show before him.
Mordecai’s once open hand had clenched into a fist in anger. He glared at him and said, “This isn’t over Discord!” Discord looked at him with a smug look on his face and said, “Is that so? And what is it that you are going to do about it, Mordecai? Are you going to challenge me and try to take this, or are you going to go after the girl?” Discord held the yellow emerald in front of Mordecai as he asked him these questions, practically daring him to try and take it. As much as Mordecai wanted to punch him for what he did, he chose to try and fix the problem Discord created between him and Twilight instead and ran out of the cave to try and catch up to her. After Mordecai was out of sight, Discord snapped his fingers and teleported out of the cave.
Mordecai ran as fast as he could in hopes of trying to catch up to Twilight. He heard her crying and he sees her hooves covering her face as she sits near the cave entrance. She feels like she’s been lied to with this knowledge of Mordecai killing unicorns, the trust she had in him was out the window after learning this. Mordecai slowly approached her and says, “Twilight.” She immediately lifts her head and sees him, but instead of hearing him out, her fear gets the better of her as she yells, “No! Stay away!” She backs away from him, but he wasn’t going to give up so easily. “Twilight, please listen to me,” he pleads to her, but she wasn’t going to listen to him. He sees her activate her horn and she disappears before him. Mordecai fell to his knees, feeling completely broken by everything that had happened. He said in a sad tone, “Twilight… no.”
Before he could grieve over this, a bright light appeared and revealed Shadow. After Shadow saw him, he noticed Twilight wasn’t around and asked, “Mordecai, where’s Twilight?” They looked down the mountain and saw a magenta flash appear at the bottom of the mountain. Still feeling dejected, Mordecai said, “It looks like she’s down there, why?” Shadow said, “I’ll explain later, right now, we have a problem that needs to be fixed.” Before Mordecai could ask him what he was talking about, Shadow grabbed him and used Chaos Control.
Sonic and the group arrived in Ponyville. Sonic turned to the three new travelers and said, “Silver, Finn, and Jake, welcome to Ponyville.” Not believing what he was seeing, Finn said in amazement, “Holy shmow” Jake nodded and said, “Yeah, this is some nice little place.”
Before Sonic showed everyone around, they saw a magenta flash, revealing Twilight running through it, Sonic noticed the tears running down her face while she ran. Shortly after the first light, another bright light flashed revealing Shadow and Mordecai, without hesitation, the blue jay started running after Twilight upon arriving. Sonic ran after them, wondering what happened. After easily catching up to Mordecai he asked, “Hey Mordo, what’s going on?” Mordecai said, “Discord came and messed with Twilight’s head.” Sonic asked, “Need some help?” Mordecai simply said, “Please.”
Twilight ran into her home and as soon as she entered, she activated her magic and created a force field around her home. Seeing this, Sonic grabbed Mordecai’s hand and boosted up to top speed, and got them to Twilight’s house before the force field could close them out. After seeing the force field, everyone from the group gathered around the barrier, concerned for their friend. Mordecai catches his breath from the superspeed he was put through, and he sees how close they were to being closed off from Twilight. Still reeling from this fact, Mordecai said, “That was way too close.” He said, “Thanks, what did Discord do exactly?”
Mordecai was reluctant on telling Sonic what had happened, but sighed in defeat, knowing there was no way around this, and said, “He showed her about my mishap with some unicorns I had to deal with at the park.” Wanting him to continue, Sonic said, “And?” Begrudgingly, Mordecai continued by saying, “And I ended up helping Benson and Skips kill them.” Sonic jumped a little in surprise and said, “Dude!” Mordecai waved his hands and quickly said, “I swear the unicorns weren’t from around here! That’s what Discord showed her, and she’s terrified of me right now.” Sonic pointed to the tree and said, “Well you got to tell her the truth!” Mordecai retorted and said, “I’ve been trying to avoid telling her that story this whole time!” Sonic said, “Well you have no choice now do ya?!”
Mordecai knew Sonic was right; he looked at Twilight’s home and walked over to the door, hoping that he can fix the mess Discord created for him. Once he reached the door, he knocked on it. Knowing who was knocking, Twilight yelled, “GO AWAY MORDECAI!” Mordecai said in a pleading tone, “Twilight, can you at least let me explain my side of the story?” Twilight said, “What’s there to explain? You killed unicorns! That’s about as straightforward as you can get!” Mordecai flinched from Twilight’s yelling, while Sonic covered his ears. Everyone from the group that was gathered near the barrier, gasped in shock, while Rarity did an overdramatic faint from hearing what Twilight had yelled. Mordecai had seen everyone’s faces from the outburst and knew there was no hiding the incident now. After seeing what could have happened had he revealed this to them, Rigby sees the sad look on Mordecai’s face and felt bad for him. He went to the others and said, “Just give him a chance to explain.” The group nodded to him and he gave Mordecai the thumbs up to say they will listen. After feeling comfortable from the news, he turned back to the closed door and said, “Okay, it’s true, they were unicorns, but they weren’t like the unicorns from around here, they were thugs.”
After hearing no response from Twilight, Mordecai took it as a sign that instead of being berated by her, she was going to listen to his side of the story. He took a deep breath and said, “Okay, there was this one time that I bought some cologne so I could get someone’s attention. At first, I thought it would attract some women, but after spraying more than I should have, it ended up attracting a group of unicorns instead. They seemed cool at first, telling me that since I let them borrow the spray, they would help me get with the ladies as their way of saying thank you, and I was desperate enough to believe them.”
Hearing his story so far, Twilight felt bothered by it. She didn’t know what she was feeling, but for some reason, the thought of Mordecai getting with someone didn’t feel right to her. He continued and said, “Instead of helping me with that, they ended up pranking me and embarrassing me throughout the day, and eventually, they talked themselves into throwing a party at the park house.” Confused, Pinkie Pie asked, “What’s wrong with a party?” Sonic turned to her and said, “They’re not like your parties Pinkie. It’s a different kind of a party, where they intentionally trash the place and destroy everything in the house.”
Mordecai nodded to this and said, “Yeah, what he said Pinkie.” Pinkie had a disappointed look on her face hearing this and she said, “Well, that’s very mean of them.” Mordecai continued and said, “Eventually, after they vandalized the park, trashed our home, and had Benson tied up and gagged, both me and Rigby went to Skips and asked for his help because he’s the one that knows how to fix our problems. He told us that there was only one thing that unicorns like them could never say no to, and that was drag racing. We set their racecar up with explosives and talked them into using it, while Rigby and I used the golf cart. We baited them with intimidation and after the race started, they ended up flying in the car off a ramp and while they were still in the sky, Benson blew up their car when they were far away from us.”
Mordecai let the story sink in for everyone after explaining it. All he could hope for was Twilight to be the one to have heard it. Mordecai was on his knees and leaning against the door, hoping she was still listening. He then said, “Twilight, I know I didn’t kill those unicorns with my own hands, but I still took part in that plan. They were the kinds of unicorns that wouldn’t listen to reason, but even then, I can’t justify whether what we did was right or wrong. All I want you to know is that I would never hurt you, Rarity, or any of the other ponies here in Equestria.” Mordecai placed a hand on the door, even if he couldn’t look at her or hold her, he was hoping that she could feel him. He was on the verge of crying, but he pressed on and said, “The only thing I can ask from you now is for your forgiveness, but if you hate me enough not to…I’ll understand.” Unknown to Mordecai, Twilight had placed her hoof on the door where his hand was and after hearing him say this, she could feel the guilt he had from the experience.
As Mordecai said the last part, he shed a tear and it hit the stone pavement on Twilight’s doorstep. He heard no response from her and thought that she made her decision. He got on his feet and was about to leave, but Twilight opened the door and brought the barrier down. As he looked at her, he noticed that Twilight’s coat and mane took on a grayish tone. She looked him in the eye, dried tears were present, and she asked, “So they weren’t from Equestria?” He said, “No, they weren’t. I swear.” After seeing the look in his eyes, she saw that he was telling the truth. She broke eye contact with him, lowering her head in the process, feeling guilty for what has happened, and said, “I’m sorry I jumped to that conclusion without hearing your side. Can you forgive me for that?” Mordecai places his index finger under her chin, lifts her head to him, and said, “As long as you forgive me.” After hearing his proposal, Twilight gave him a sweet smile, and a nod and hugged him. Mordecai blushed from the sudden contact, but he returned the hug and smiled, knowing that she didn’t hate him and had forgiven him. He also noticed her coat and mane getting their regular colors back while they were hugging.
Sonic said, “All right! Glad to see these two made up.” After hearing him, Mordecai became curious about how things went for him and the others and asked, “Oh Sonic, did you get the emerald at that place we were at.” Finn interrupted the conversation and said, “It’s called the Land of Ooo, and yeah, they got the emerald there, but he lost the other emerald that they already had.” Shocked by this, Mordecai said, “What? How did you -?” Finn answered flatly, “Discord.” Twilight asked, “He was there too?” Sonic said, “Yeah, he was. We could explain the rest, but after what we’ve all been through, I think we should get some rest.”
Disappointed at hearing this, Finn said, “What?! C’mon Sonic, you got me super pumped for this adventure! Why should we stop right now?” Sonic turned to him and said, “Because that last Chaos Control I did, really took a lot out of me.” Finn scratched the back of his head, still not sure about resting, and said, “Well…” Jake interrupted his thinking and said, “I think that would be the best, I’m sure that fight you and Finn had, must have drained him as well.” Sonic turned to the others and asked, “Does anyone else want to rest for now?” Everyone looked at one another and decided that resting for the day would be the best. They all nodded at Sonic in agreement. He said, “Looks like we’re all taking the rest of today off.”
After agreeing with Sonic, the ponies decided to offer a place to stay for everyone for the night. Twilight turned to Mordecai and asked, “Mordecai, would you and Rigby like to stay here for tonight?” Rigby looked into the still-open door and said, “What? I don’t want to spend a night in a boring old-.” Mordecai interrupted his complaint and punched him in the shoulder hard. He rubbed his shoulder and said, “Owww!” This earned a chuckle from Shadow. Mordecai said with a smile, “We’d love to Twilight, thanks.”
Applejack asked, “Finn, Jake, you two wouldn’t mind being on an apple farm for tonight, would ya?” Finn said, “Not at all, thanks AJ.” Pinkie asked, “Shadow, Rouge party at Sugarcube Corner?” Shadow rolled his eyes at her request. Rouge held back a chuckle and said, “I don’t know about a party, but we’d like to spend the night.” Rarity asked, “Silver, Blaze, would the two of you like to stay at my boutique?” Silver gave Blaze a questioning look. She turned to Rarity and said, “That would be nice, thank you.” Rainbow Dash asked, “Hey Knuckles, you don’t mind staying in my home, do you?” Knuckles turned to her and asked, “Where is that exactly?” She said, “It’s not too far from here, but it shouldn’t be hard to miss since it’s a cloud home.” He was left confused by what she just said, but before he could ask her what she was talking about, Twilight casts a spell on him. She turned to Rainbow Dash and said, “You can’t expect him to just walk on clouds, do you?” Knuckles asked, “Wait, I can walk on clouds now?” She said, “Just for tonight.”
Fluttershy walked up to Sonic and said, “Um, Sonic. You, Tails, and Amy are welcome to stay at my cottage if that’s okay with you that is.” He said, “I’d like that, thanks.” Sonic then turned to everyone and asked, “Ok, meet you all back at the library in the morning?” Everyone gave their responses, saying they will meet up at the library, and with that, everyone went their separate ways with the ponies. When they were alone, Sonic turned to Fluttershy and asked, “Hey Fluttershy, can you take Tails and Amy to your cottage without me? I have a few things to take care of, it shouldn’t take long.” She said, “Okay. My cottage isn’t too far from here. It’s the tree before going into the Everfree Forest.” He said with a grin, “I’ll remember that, see ya.”
He waved goodbye and took off in an instant.
As Mordecai and Rigby entered Twilight’s house, she showed them the guest room, but the only thing that was in the room was one bed. Leaving the two to argue over who gets the bed for the night. Mordecai said, “Dude, I’m not sharing the bed.” Rigby said, “Rock, Paper, Scissors to see who gets the bed.” They both closed their hands into fists and shook them three times, after the third time, Mordecai used scissors, while Rigby used rock, revealing that he won. Rigby had a smug look on his face and said, “Hmm-hmm-hmm!” Mordecai said in defeat, “Ugh, fine! Take the bed!” Rigby walked into the guest room, still holding his cocky grin, and closed the door on him.
Mordecai walked upstairs to talk to Twilight about the sleeping arrangements. After he got to the room, he said, “Hey Twilight, are there any other rooms in here? Rigby took the guest room.” She said, “Sorry Mordecai, that was the only guest room.” She then turned to him and asked, “Can I ask you something?” Mordecai shrugged at this and said, “Sure, go ahead.” She felt embarrassed for asking this, but she pushed forward and said, “Is it all right if you keep me company tonight? After what we’ve been through, I don’t want to sleep by myself tonight.” Shocked by this, Mordecai said, “WHAT?!” Twilight said, “Please…just for tonight?” Still feeling uncomfortable from the request, Mordecai said, “I don’t know, maybe I should just…” He was going to say no, but after seeing her put on her puppy dog eyes, he couldn’t help but feel bad about the incident with Discord and just couldn’t say no to her. He was reluctant but said, “All right, just for tonight.”
All of her worries left in that instant, and she hugged Mordecai as a thank you. After the hug, Mordecai pulled up the two sheets for the bed and crawled under them, while Twilight pulled the top sheet and crawled under it. With how small the bed was, she rested her head on his chest, leaving him with a blush in the process. After calming down, Mordecai gently rubbed Twilight’s head with his left hand. While he was rubbing her head, he heard light snores from her and realized that she had already fallen asleep. He smiled to himself, glad to see that she still trusts him despite how the day went. He released a yawn and drifted off to sleep.
After seeing Mordecai and Twilight getting settled, Sonic smiled to himself, glad to see that nothing bad had happened to them with their encounter with Discord. After relaxing on the tree branch, Sonic started thinking about what could have happened because of Discord. Both he and Finn could have killed each other, and Twilight would have been too depressed to try and help stop him. After jumping off of the tree branch, Sonic remembered his last trip to Canterlot and said to himself, “The Elements of Harmony. I’ve already seen what they can do.” He looks in the direction of Canterlot, determined to get some answers about the Elements of Harmony. “I hope Celestia can tell me more about them.” After making his decision, Sonic ran to Canterlot at top speed.
He followed the train tracks like he did the last time, and got to Canterlot in no time. After arriving, and getting past the guards, he entered the castle and started looking for Celestia. Once he arrived in the throne room, instead of seeing Celestia, he saw that there was a different pony. The pony’s coat was dark sapphire blue, while her mane was a cobalt blue color. He said, “Hello there.” The sudden outburst startled the lunar princess. She turned to see who stood before her in the throne room and said, “Who are you, how did you get in here?” He said, “I’m Sonic the Hedgehog. As for how I got in, I just told the guards outside that I knew Twilight Sparkle, and they let me in.” The pony calmed down after hearing he was a friend of Twilight’s and said, “It is nice to meet you Sonic, I’m Princess Luna, Celestia’s younger sister.”
Sonic bows to her and says, “Nice to meet you too Luna, and speaking of Celestia, is she around? I needed to ask her something.” She says, “No, my sister is sleeping right now. But I’m sure whatever you needed to ask her; I should be able to help out the best I can.” He shrugged and said, “Okay, I wanted to ask her what she knew about the Elements of Harmony.”
