After that Sonic and his friends tried to find Amy who ran away when she found out that Sonic and Rainbow Dash were together. With no sign of Amy they all went back to the library to think of where she could be. "Aw man it feels like we have been all over Equestria and still we couldn't find Amy anywhere," said Sonic. "Yeah, I wonder where that love sick hedgehog could've gotten to?" Asked Shadow. Fluttershy shook her head over Shadow's remark and then said. "Now Shadow, that's no way to speak." "She's right Shadow, even if Amy is obsess with Sonic, doesn't mean that you should speak about her like that," said Tails. Shadow was just about to say something to Tails and Fluttershy until Rainbow Dash stopped him. "You know, no offence you guys but I have to agree with Shadow on this one." When everyone and every pony heard that they all looked at her with shocked expressions on their faces. "What?" Dash asked. "Look Dash, even if Amy is obsess with me she is still my friend and I will not rest until I find her," said Sonic. "Sonic is right Dash, would you do the same thing if it was one of us?" Asked Twilight. Dash looked at all of her friends and smiled. "Your right Twilight, I'm sorry." "And I'm sorry too," Said Shadow. Just then Spike came in the room holding a scroll in his right claw. "Hey you guys we've got a letter from the princess." "Well go a head and read it Spike," said Knuckles. With that Spike opened the letter and read it out laud. Dear. Sonic, Shadow, and friends. I know that your looking for your friend Amy, but I have received a letter from Twilight's brother Shinning Armor, that him and his wife Princess Cadence want to meet you. So I put some tickets for the train to the Crystal Empire, I hope you and your friends have a great time there. PS: Don't worry Twilight, I put extra tickets in this letter for you and your friends as well. Signed, Princess Celestia. Just then twelve tickets appeared out of the letter. "Now that's what I call fast service," said Knuckles. "Yeah you can say that again Knuckles," said Sonic. "Well come on everyone and every pony let's get to the train station so we can get to the Crystal Empire," said Applejack. "Applejack is right and I can't wait to see my brother and my sister in law again," Twilight said, with a big smile on her face. "Well then what are we waiting for? Let's go," Pinkie Pie said, as she was hoping up and down and started out the door to the train station. "Auntie Pinkie, wait for us," shouted Nyx. "Hey Tails, get the chaos emeralds please," said Sonic. "Right away Sonic, said Tails. After Tails got the chaos emeralds they all set off after Pinkie to the train station. When the gang made it to the train station they saw the train for the Crystal Empire waiting for them. "Welcome, you all must be the ones that Prince Shining Armor, and Princess Cadence asked us to get and bring to the Empire?" Asked the conductor. "Yes that's us," they said together. "Very well, just let me see your tickets and then you can hop on board the train," said the conductor. (Big Boo's Haunt from Super Mario 64 starts to play) As the group showed the conductor their tickets he nodded and let them in the train and then they set off for the Crystal Empire. But unknown to our heroes a shadowy figure watched them leave and then vanished, meanwhile somewhere in the frozen north a dark pink hedgehog was sitting on a throne made of ice. "RAH!!!! Where is that spy of mine? He was supposed to be here minutes ago," she said, with anger in his voice. Just as soon as she said that then a black unicorn with a silvery mane and tail appeared. "Ah Starblaze, at last you have arrived," said the dark pink hedgehog. "I'm sorry I'm late your majesty, but I have important news regarding Twilight and her friends," said the unicorn. "Oh you do, well then tell me Starblaze." "Well you see it appears that they are heading for a place called the Crystal Empire." "The Crystal Empire? Why in the world are they going there?" The dark pink hedgehog asked. "Well my queen I over heard them reading a letter they got from Princess Celestia telling them to go there," said Starblaze. "Ah I see tell me this Starblaze, did they take anything with them?" Starblaze thought for a moment and said. "Yes they did my queen, they took some emeralds with them," When the dark pink hedgehog heard this she smiled evilly. "So they took the Chaos Emeralds with them." "Um my queen for give me for saying this but what are the Chaos Emeralds?" Asked Starblaze. "My friend Starblaze, you've forgot that I'm in one of Sonic's friends so that means I can tap into her mind and know everything she knows about her friends. So I'll tell you what the Chaos Emeralds are very powerful emeralds if you collect all seven of them you could be unstoppable." When Starblaze heard this he smiled evilly and said. "Please your majesty let me get the emeralds for yea." The dark pink hedgehog looked at Starblaze and said "That is not a bad idea Starblaze, but unfortunately I already have a plan for those pitiful rodents and ponies." "And what is this plan of yours my queen?" The dark pink hedgehog smiled evilly. "Well you see Starblaze, the emeralds have two power sources both light and dark, so I'm going to create my own hedgehog out of the dark power of the emeralds and when I'm done no pony will stand in the way of Nightmare Amy AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!" "So what about me my queen?" Starblaze asked. "You will go to the Crystal Empire and tell me when their guard is down so I can cast my spell on the emeralds," said Nightmare Amy. With that Starblaze bowed and then vanished to the Crystal Empire. Meanwhile on the train Sonic, Shadow and their friends had made it to the Crystal Empire. (Music ends) "Hey everybody and every pony, we're here," said Twilight. As she said that Sonic, Shadow and their friends peered out of the trains windows. "Oh wow look at this place," said Sonic. "So this is the Crystal Empire?" Asked Tails. "Yes Tails, this is the Crystal Empire," said Fluttershy. "I remember the first time I came here, every pony was little nervous around me but soon they got use to me being here," said Nyx. When everyone and every pony were looking out of the train at the Crystal Empire Sonic looked at Rainbow Dash and said to her. "Um Rainbow Dash?" Dash looked at their blue hedgehog and said. "Yes what is it Sonic?" But before Sonic could say anything the train stopped and the conductor said. "All out for the Crystal Empire." "Well everyone and every pony let's go and see my brother and my sister in law," said Twilight, as she left the car with her friends right behind her. As they were heading towards the Crystal palace Starblaze appeared behind a bush and slowly followed them. In the palace a white unicorn was pacing back and forth. "Shining, stop pacing they will be here soon," said a pink alicorn. "I know Cadence, but I'm just have a bad feeling about this," said the white unicorn. Just then the palace door opened and their stood a orange peguses with royal armor. "Prince Shining Armor and Princess Cadence?" He asked. "Yes Flash Sentry, what is it?" Asked Cadence. Flash looked at the alicorn and unicorn and said. "Your majesties our guest's have arrived." As soon as Flash said that then Sonic, Shadow and their friends walked in, when Cadence saw Twilight she shouted. "TWILIGHT!!!!" When Twilight saw Cadence she shouted. "CADENCE!!!!" With that the two alicorns rushed toward each other and said. "Sunshine, sunshine ladybugs wake clap your hooves and do a little shake." When they were done Sonic, Shadow, Knuckles, and Tails stared at them dumbfounded. "Uh what in the world was that?" Knuckles asked. "Oh that was my mommy's and auntie Cadence dance that they did when they were falls," said Nyx. "Well that explains it," said Tails. Just then Twilight came up with Cadence and her brother. "Sonic, Shadow, Knuckles, and Tails this is my sister in law Princess Cadence and my brother Prince Shining Armor." With that Sonic, Shadow, Knuckles, and Tails bowed low to the two ponies in front of them. "It's nice to finally meet you Prince Shining Armor and Princess Cadence," said Shadow. Shining Armor and Cadence smiled at Sonic, Shadow, Knuckles, and Tails. "And it's nice to finally meet you all too," said Shining Armor. "Now everyone and every pony let's go and eat, our chefs have made us a great dinner," said Cadence. "GREAT!!!!" They all said in unison. As they set off to the dinning room Tails left his bag pack with the Chaos emeralds in it in the hall. Just then Starblaze saw him leave the emeralds and then he teleported back to Nightmare Amy. As Starblaze arrived back at his queens chambers she smiled at him. (Big Boo's Haunt from Super Mario 64 starts to play) "Ah Starblaze, welcome back what do you have to report now?" She asked. "Well your majesty I'm happy to report that they left the Chaos emeralds in the storage closet in the palace, so that means you can carry out your plan," Starblaze said. After hearing this Nightmare Amy started to laugh evilly. "Ah yes now it is time for my plan to comments." With that Nightmare Amy stood up and started to cast her spell. "Form all that is evil and all that is nasty I command you evil spirit from the Chaos emeralds to rise and come to me and obey me." Back at the Crystal palace the emeralds started to glow black and then a blast of dark energy shot out of them and started towards the frozen north. Suddenly as the dark energy came into the palace it shot down right in front of Starblaze and Nightmare Amy and then it formed into a dark blue hedgehog with red eyes, sharp teeth, sharp claws, and its quills were sharp and pointy. "Ah at last I am free," said the hedgehog, and the he looked at the pony and the hedgehog In the room. "So who do I have to thank for getting me out of those emeralds?" He asked. Nightmare Amy stepped forward and said. "That would be me hedgehog, Nightmare Amy." "Well then I pelage my allegiance to you Nightmare Amy," said the hedgehog, with a bow. Nightmare Amy smiled at that comment and said. "Good now you will need a name like Mad God Ember Hewdraw, but for short I will just call you Chaos Phantom." The hedgehog thought about the name and then smiled evilly. "Chaos Phantom awaiting your orders my queen," he said as he bowed low to Nightmare Amy. "Very good now hears the plain Chaos, I want you to go to the place called the Crystal Empire. There I want you to steal a crystal there called the Crystal Heart, and then stay in a forest called the Everfree Forest." Nightmare Amy said with an evil smile on her face. "I see and why should I need to steal this Crystal Heart your majesty?" Asked Chaos Phantom. "Ah you see Chaos, the Crystal Heart is filled with lots of power and it also holds the empire together, and without it the empire and all of it's citizens will fall," said Nightmare Amy. As Chaos heard her plain he bowed low to her and said. "Very well my queen, I will steal the Crystal Heart for you." But before he could leave Nightmare Amy stopped him. "Wait before you go take these with you," she said, as she handed him three ruby necklace's. "What do you want me to do with these?" He asked. Nightmare Amy chuckled. "These belong to three of the greatest and most dangerous beings known as the sirens, if you find them give them these and they will be our evil friends." "You got it your highness, but what if they fail us?" Asked Chaos. "Oh well that's easy Chaos, just use your magic and drain their life force out of their necklace's," said Nightmare Amy. With that Chaos Phantom bowed and then he vanished towards the Crystal Empire. (Music ends) Meanwhile in the Crystal Empire Sonic, Shadow, and the others got done eating. "Wow that was really good," said Rarity. "Yeah I've never had a better dinner," said Tail. "I second that," said Knuckles. "Well thanks you all," said Cadence. Just then Sonic got up and walked over to Rainbow Dash. "Um Rainbow Dash?" He asked. "Yes, what is it Sonic?" Dash asked. Sonic took a deep breath and said. "Could you come with me outside for a minute?" Rainbow looked at Sonic and then smiled. "Yes of course Sonic." With that Sonic and Rainbow Dash headed outside with everyone and every pony looking at them with lovey bubby eyes. "Well, well, well, it looks like love is in the air with those two," said Cadence. "Yep Sonic and Dashie have been in love with each other ever since the battle with Discord," said Pinkie Pie. "And what about you Tails, Knuckles, and Shadow? Do you three have someone or some pony you love?" Asked Shining Armor. After hearing this Tails, Knuckles, and Shadow blushed. "Uh well I never did go out with anyone or any pony," said Tails. "Same here," said Knuckles. "I don't do love," Said Shadow. When Shadow said this every pony gasped excepted for Knuckles and Tails. "What do you mean you don't do love surgarcube?" Asked Applejack. "Well what I mean is that I have never meant anyone or any pony who would be with me so that is why I don't do love." Twilight looked at Shadow and said. "Don't worry Shadow, I'm sure that you will find someone or some pony," "Twilight's right sugar, you will find love someday," said Applejack. (Power hungry fool from Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance starts to play) Meanwhile outside of the palace Chaos Phantom appeared and looked around. "So this is the Crystal Empire? Well now that I'm here it's time to find that Crystal Heart." As he started to walk around the empire he spotted a Crystal shape heart spinning between two pillars. "Ah that must be it," he said. But before he could get his hands on it two ponies stopped him. "Hey what are you doing? Get away from the Crystal Heart," said the pony with silver mane and tail. "AHAHA!!!! If you think you two can stop me? Then try," said Chaos Phantom. "Very well, you have left us no choice," said the other pony with dark blue mane and tail. As they charged Chaos Phantom, they found them selves floating in the air. "Hey what in the world is happening?" Asked the dark blue mane and tail. "It's simple, I'm using my powers to levitate you so now I can get this Crystal Heart without anymore interruptions," said Chaos Phantom. Just then Chaos Phantom came up to the Crystal Heart and took it, but when he did an alarm sounded. Meanwhile outside of the Crystal palace Sonic and Rainbow Dash looked up at the sky. (Music ends and where does my heart beat now starts to play) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X85_W5K4pIU "Wow it's so beautiful out here tonight, wouldn't you agree Sonic?" Asked Dash. "Yeah it is beautiful," said Sonic nervously. Rainbow looked at Sonic, confused. "Uh Sonic? Are you ok?" "Uh yes I'm fine," said Sonic. Rainbow just shrugged and continued to look at the night sky, as Rainbow Dash continued to look up at the clear night time sky Sonic took a rainbow color box out and look at what was inside it and then he put it back and said. "You know Dash, now that we are alone. Their is something that I have been meaning to ask you." Rainbow looked back at Sonic and asked. "Yes? What is it?" Sonic took a deep breath and said. "Well it's um, it's uh, it's like this. Rainbow Dash I would be most honored if you would......" But before Sonic could say anything else they heard an alarm. (Music ends and Sakuya Theme Remix - Night of Nights starts to play) "Hey what is that sound?" Asked Sonic. Just then Cadence, Shining Armor, and the rest of their friends arrived. "Princess Cadence, what's going on?" Asked Rainbow. "That sound can only mean one thing and that is that the Crystal Heart has been stolen," said Cadence. Sonic was confused. "What is the Crystal Heart?" "The Crystal Heart darling is very important Crystal," said Rarity. "Why is that?" asked Tails. "Because without that Crystal Heart, the Crystal Empire and all of the citizens that live here could be destroyed," said Twilight. "Yikes that is really bad," said Knuckles. "Well what are we waiting for? let's go and get the Crystal heart back," said Shadow. With that they all set off to save the Crystal Heart. Meanwhile Chaos Phantom was looking at the Crystal Heart while the two guard ponies were still floating up in the air and the alarm was still sounding. "Well I would love to stay and chat with you two, but I think it's time for me to head to the Everfree Forest." But before Chaos Phantom could leave he saw Sonic, Shadow, and their friends arrive. "Ah at last Sonic, Shadow, and their friends are here." "Look their it is," said Applejack. As they saw the hedgehog they all gasped. "What the it's a hedgehog," said Rainbow Dash. "Yeah and it almost looks like Sonic," said Fluttershy. "Who are you and what are you doing with the Crystal Heart?" Asked Nyx. "Well you see my child my name is Mad God Ember Hewdraw, but you can call me Chaos Phantom for short. And for my plain for the Crystal Heart well that's for me to know and you to find out," said Chaos Phantom, and with that he jumped over them and then he ran off. "Hey he's getting away," said Pinkie. "Well then let's get him," said Shadow. So they all chased after Chaos Phantom to get the Crystal Heart back. As Sonic, Shadow, and the others ran after Chaos they could see him heading for the palace. "Guys he's heading for the Crystal Palace," said Applejack. "Yeah but what is he planning to do their?" Asked Tails. "I don't know but we must stop him before we find out," said Shadow. "Hey we almost have him," said Twilight, But before they could get a hand or hoof on him he shouted. "CHAOS CONTROL!!!!" Just then he vanished. "What the? What just happened?" Asked Spike. "He just used chaos control," said Sonic. "But that means that he was created by emeralds," said Knuckles. "But how is that possible?" Asked Fluttershy. "We'll deal with that later but right now we need to stop him," said Sonic. With that they set off into the palace to find Chaos Phantom. Chaos was in the room with the Chaos Emeralds. "HAHAHAHA!!!! That was too easy now for face two of my queen's plain," Just then he heard the door burst open and their was Sonic, Shadow and their friends along with Prince Shining Armor and Princess Cadence. "There you are you intruder, now hand over the Crystal Heart now," said Shining. "No way my queen wants me to renew her kingdom and that is what I'm going to do," said Chaos Phantom. "Your queen? Who is she?" Asked Sonic. "Oh you'll find out soon enough, but now I think it's time to leave now see ya," But before Chaos Phantom could say chaos control Sonic rushed him and knocked him down and sent the Crystal Heart flaying and then it disappeared into a mirror at the end of the room. "Oh no the Crystal Heart," said Cadence. Just then Chaos Phantom pushed Sonic off of him and went into the mirror after the Crystal Heart. (Music ends) "Did, did you guys just see that?" Asked Tails. "Yeah he went inside of that mirror," said Shadow. "Oh no, not the mirror," said Twilight. "Why? What's wrong about this mirror?" Asked Shadow. "You have to tell them Twilight," said Applejack. With that Twilight nodded and began to tell Sonic, Shadow, Knuckles, and Tails her adventure behind the mirror. When she was finished Sonic, Shadow, Knuckles, and Tails stared at her with their mouths all the way down on the ground. "Wow that is some story," said Knuckles. "Yeah no kidding," said Tails. "So what do we do now?" Asked Sonic. "We need to get the Crystal Heart back before the citizens knows that it's gone," said Cadence. "Right then me and Sonic will go and get the Crystal Heart back for you," said Shadow. Sonic looked at Shadow and nodded. "What about me? I would like to go," said Nyx. "I would like to see this alternate dimention too," said Tails. But Sonic and Shadow shook their heads. "Sorry Tails but this mission is just for me and Shadow," said Sonic. "Yeah and their is no way I'm going to let you go either Nyx," said Twilight. "Oh ok," said Tails and Nyx together. "But before we go we should take the Chaos Emeralds with us just incase," said Shadow. Sonic nodded and got the bag with the emeralds inside it. "Well we are off to get the Crystal Heart and stop Chaos Phantom," said Sonic. "Good luck you two," said Shining Armor. Sonic and Shadow nodded and then they went inside the mirror. But then after they went inside Nyx and Tails ran towards the mirror after them. "NYX, TAILS, NO COME BACK!!!!" Shouted everyone and every pony. But it was too late they were already inside the mirror following Sonic and Shadow to the alternate universe. > Chapter 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sonic and Shadow in Equestria 3 The Search For The Crystal Heart. By: Will Atkinson Chapter 2 Location: Unknown Sonic began to stir from his un expecting slumber. He finally hoisted himself up and put his hand on his throbbing head. “Ugh. Man what a ride.” Sonic groaned. “UUUUUUgh. Sonic, you okay?” Shadow asked. “Yeah Shadow, I’ve been through a lot more-WHAT THE!?” Sonic gasped as he was looking at a teenage boy with crimson eyes and black hair with red streaks. He wore a black T-shirt with a thin, black jacket wearing a dog tag with Shadow’s symbol. He had black fingerless gloves on, along with black pants with a silver spike on the left knee. He finally wore the same hover shoes Shadow had. "Shadow your, your human," "And so are you Sonic," said Shadow. When Shadow said that Sonic looked at his reflection. When he did he saw that he was still wearing his old shoes along with his blue hair and green emerald eyes, but he was wearing jeans with a few rips in them. He wore a white t-shirt with thin zip-up, sleeveless shirt with a dark blue stream on the bottom. He was no longer wearing his white gloves, but was replaced with a blue bracelet on each wrist. "Oh man when Twilight told us about her friends being humans in this world she never told us we would become humans as well," said Sonic. "Well actually Sonic, we never asked her," said Shadow. "Good point." Just then they heard a familiar male voice. "Um Sonic? Shadow?" Sonic and Shadow turned around, and as they did they saw two other humans, one was a young boy with yellow hair with two pony tails, he also had goggles around his neck, he wore a orange t-shirt, a orange and yellow jacket, brown shorts, and red and white shoes. While the other human was a young girl with green eyes, with dark purple hair, she also had on a light purple shirt with a shield and moon on it, a dark purple jacked, a light purple skirt with a shield and moon on the left side of it, and purple boots, she also had on light purple glasses. "Tails? Nyx? What are you two doing here?" Asked Shadow. "We're sorry Shadow, but we couldn't just let you or Sonic do this alone," Said Nyx. (Sigh) "Very well you two, but stay close to us alright?" Sonic asked. "We under stand Sonic," said Tails. "Wait Sonic, where are the emeralds at?" Asked Shadow. Sonic looked around until he saw a black backpack on the floor. As he looked inside of the backpack he saw all seven of the chaos emeralds. "Here they are Shadow," said Sonic. "Good now put them in your pockets and lets get going," Shadow said as he headed towards a building that read Canterlot High. "Ugh. Do we really have to go to high school?" Sonic asked, with a groan. Tails looked at his friend with a stern look on his face. "Oh come on Sonic, you know we have to do this it's the only way to find the Crystal Heart." "Tails is right Sonic, and besides school is fun," said Nyx. "Easy for you to say Nyx, but I'm a man of action I don't do school," Sonic explained “Get used to it Sonic. We’re gonna be here for a while until we get that Crystal Heart and stop Chaos Phantom.” Shadow said. With that Sonic, Shadow, Nyx, and Tails headed inside the school. Once they were Inside they stared in awe as they saw the long hallways with many lockers on the side of the walls. There were also a few glass domes with ribbons and trophies in them. "Wow, this place is huge," said Nyx. "Yeah, no kidding," agreed Tails. "But, where is everybody?" Asked Sonic. As soon as he said that then the school bell rang and soon piles of students came out of the doors and flooded the hallways. "Dose that answer your question Sonic?" Asked Shadow. Sonic nodded. The four hanged back into a wall until the hallways finally calmed down. When the hallways were more cleared, the four moved on. While they were wandering through the hallways, they realized many students were eyeing them. "Um Sonic? Why are they starring at us?" Asked Nyx. "Cause Nyx, they think we're new students here," Sonic explained. Nyx nodded in understanding, just then as she continued to walk with Sonic, Shadow, and Tails she accidently bumped into a teenage girl and made her school work fly all over the place. "Oh dear, I'm so very sorry," said Nyx. "Oh that's alright," said the girl. As Nyx looked up at the girl, she had red and yellow hair, green eyes, she wore a dark pink shirt with a red and yellow sun on it, she also had on a black jacket, a orange skirt with a pink and yellow lines on the left side, and on her feet were gray and purple boots. "Oh where's my manners? I'm Sunset Simmer," said the girl. When Nyx heard her name was Sunset Shimmer, she looked at her with uneasy eyes. "Uh are you ok?" Asked Sunset. "Oh yes, I'm just nervous since I'm new here," said Nyx. Just then Sonic, Shadow, and Tails arrived back to get Nyx when they noticed that she wasn't following them. "Hey Nyx, are you ok?" Asked Tails. "Yes I am I just bumped into Sunset here," Nyx explained. When they saw Sunset, they remembered what Twilight said about her. "So your name is Sunset?" Asked Shadow. "Yes that's right," Said Sunset, now a little nervous thinking that somebody already told them of what she did at the school. "Well it's nice to meet you Sunset, I'm Sonic and these are my brothers Shadow, Tails, and I see you already met our sister Nyx." When Sunset heard that she sighed with relief thinking that they didn't know what she did at the school. "So I'm guessing that you four are new hear?" Asked Sunset. "Yes we are," said Tails. "Well then if you follow me I can take you to Principal Celestia to get you enrolled here," said Sunset, as she started to walk towards Principal Celestia's office with Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Nyx right behind her. As they were walking with Sunset, Shadow turned to Sonic and asked. "Sonic, why are we walking with Sunset? Do you remember what Twilight, said about her?" "Yes I do Shadow, but Twilight also said that Sunset was sorry for what she did and was going to make amends," Sonic explained. "Alright fine Sonic, I'll give her a chance," Said Shadow. Thank you Shadow," Sonic said. Just then Tails, spook up. "Hey Sonic?" Asked Tails. "Yeah what is it buddy?" "Um why did you say that Shadow, you, me, and Nyx were family?" "Because Tails, we need to blend in so that we can find the Crystal Heart and Chaos Phantom," Sonic explained. Tails nodded in understanding, just then Sunset Shimmer stopped in front of a door that read Principal Celestia's office. "Well here we are," she said, as she knocked on the door then a voice came from inside. "Yes, come in." With those words Sunset opened the door to Celestia's office. "Um excuse me Principal Celestia for the interruption but we have four new students," said Sunset, as she moved out of the way from the door Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Nyx came in. "Oh well welcome to Canterlot High, my name is Principal Celestia, and what is your names be?" "My name is Sonic and these are my brothers Shadow and Tails, and this here is our sister Nyx." "Well it's so nice to meet you four!! Hold on a second while I sign you in and get your schedules set," smiled Celestia. As Celestia started typing on the computer. Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Nyx saw the Crystal Heart right behind her. "Um excuse me ma'am but where did you get that crystal shaped heart?" Asked Nyx. "This one right behind me?" Celestia asked. "Yes ma'am," said Nyx. "A student named Fluttershy found it this morning on the front lawn. She brought it to me, why do you ask?" Asked Celestia. "Oh nothing, it was just out of curiosity," said Nyx. "That's our sister, always curious," said Tails. Celestia was a little suspicious about what Nyx and Tails said but decided to let it slide. "Well, alright. Anyway here are your assigned classes," said Celestia, as she gave Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Nyx student papers with their schedules on them. "Thank you ma'am," said Sonic. "Yeah thanks," said Shadow. "Have a great day you four," said Celestia. "Bye," they said together, and left. But before Sunset Shimmer could leave Celestia stopped her. "Oh wait just a second Ms. Shimmer." "Yes Principal Celestia? What is it?" Sunset asked. "I just wanted to tell you to not to worry about missing your class. I'll call your class and explain ok?" Sunset smiled at Celestia and said. "Thank you Celestia." "Your welcome Ms. Shimmer, now run along to your class," said Celestia. "Yes ma'am," said Sunset, as she left Principal Celestia's office. As Sunset left Celestia's office she saw Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Nyx looking at their schedules. Sonic: 1st period: Gym 2nd period: Free period 3rd period: Cooking Lunch 4th period: Band Shadow: 1st period: gym 2nd period: Science 3rd period: Free period Lunch 4th period: Band Tails: 1st period: English 2nd period: Free period 3rd period: Science Lunch 4th period: Band Nyx: 1st period: Free period 2nd period: Math 3rd period: English Lunch 4th period: Band "Well now that we know where we go let's get going," said Shadow. "Yeah let's get going," said Sonic. "Ok you guys take care and I'll see you four at lunch," said Sunset. "Ok Sunset, see you their," said Tails. With that Sunset waved goodbye and headed for her class. As Sunset Shimmer left Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Nyx set off to their classes. (With Nyx) As Nyx walked down the hallways of the school. She couldn't help but admire the school, just then she heard a familiar voice. "Hey, give me back my hair bow now Diamond." ("That sounded like Applebloom,") Nyx said, to herself. Without another word she began to run towards the voice, when she got their she saw a young girl with long red hair, orange eyes, a green shirt, and long blue jeans, and she saw another girl with blue eyes, purple and white hair, she had on a black shirt, a yellow and white jacket, with a gray skirt, and yellow and white boots. ("Diamond Tiara?") she asked herself. "Come on loser, come and get your hair bow," said Diamond Tiara. Applebloom tried to get to her bow but Diamond lifted it up out of her reach. Having seen enough Nyx started to walk right up to them and said. "Hey, stop this right now." The two girls stopped and saw Nyx approach them. "Hey stay out of this kid, this don't concern you," said Diamond. "No I'm not," said Nyx. Diamond Tiara laughed and said. "You know, I was hopping you would say that." Just then somebody came from behind Nyx, and grabbed her. "Hey, what the!?" Nyx panicked. "Hey, let her go Silver Spoon," said Applebloom. "No, I don't think I will," said Silver Spoon. "Hold her still Silver Spoon until I get done with this loser," said Diamond. But then they all herd a female voice. "DIAMOND TIARA, SILVER SPOON? WHAT IN THE WORLD DO YOU THINK YOU TWO ARE DOING?" They all turned around and saw a women with Dark and light blue hair, green eyes, purple shirt, dark blue pants, and white heels. "Oh Vice Principal Luna," said Silver Soon, as she let go of Nyx. "Don't you Vice Principal Luna me Silver Spoon," said Luna as she came up to Nyx. "Are you alright? They didn't hurt you did they?" She asked Nyx, while she was checking her to make sure she wasn't hurt. "No ma'am, I'm fine," said Nyx. As Luna saw that Nyx was alright, she turned her attention back to Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara. "You two never learn do you?" Luna asked, the two bullies with anger in her eyes. Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara didn't say anything but look down on the floor. "Well let's just see what my sister will think about this," Luna said. With that she took Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara by their hands and set off to the office with them. When they were gone Nyx walked over to Applebloom who just got done putting her hair bow back on her head. "Hey are you alright?" She asked. Applebloom looked at Nyx and said. "Yes I am. Are you ok?" Nyx just nodded. "Oh I'm sorry my name is Applebloom, what's yours?" "Oh my name is Nyx." "Well Nyx would you like to meet my friends?" Applebloom asked. Knowing that she had free period first she agreed and with that Applebloom and Nyx set off. (With Sonic and Shadow) Sonic and Shadow were walking down the hallway when they saw the gym. "Well here we are Sonic," said Shadow. "Yup, well are you ready?" Sonic asked. "Yes let's go." With that they went inside the gym just as the bell rang for the start of the period. "Well since we're her, I think we should find that coach," said Shadow. "Right, let's go," said Sonic. As Sonic and Shadow walked they saw a office door that read coach Shining Armor. "Well this is it," said Sonic. With that Sonic and Shadow walked into coach Shining Armor's office, where he was looking over some last minute things. "Hello sir. I'm Shadow and this is my brother Sonic, and we were assigned to your class." Shining looked at Sonic and Shadow and smiled. "Oh, so your the new students that Principal Celestia was talking about? Well I'm glad to have you two in my class! Here take these. You'll need to change into these clothes when your down here. Why don't you two go ahead and then meet us in the weight room?" "Ok," Sonic and Shadow said together. With that they went into the locker room and put on their light blue shirt with Canterlot High's symbol on them and dark blue sweatpants to match. After they got done, they set off to the weight room once there they saw a teenage boy with blue hair coming towards them. "Hey, you two new here?" He asked. "Yes we are, and your name?" Asked Shadow. "The name's Flash, Flash Sentry." "Well it's nice to meet you Flash, I'm Sonic and this is my brother Shadow." With the introductions over, Shadow asked. "So Flash, what are we doing exactly?" "Oh, well we're about to hit the bench presses. We try to see who can lift the most, but so far Rainbow Dash and Applejack are tied for the record. They can even out-bench all of us guys!" Said Flash. "We see, so where are these girls?" Asked Sonic. "Oh, they are over there," Flash said, as he pointed to the two girls who were busy in a heated talk about who's going to be better then who that day. "So, we're guessing that the girl with the rainbow colored hair is Rainbow Dash and the girl with the blonde hair is Applejack," said Shadow. "Yep, that's right," said Flash. Just then a teenage girl with purple eyes and blue hair pushed Sonic and Shadow out of her way. "Get out of my way boys, it's Trixie's turn to bench press," the girl said. "Geez, what in the world was that for?" Asked Shadow. "Yeah, I mean what's her problem?" Asked Sonic. "Oh that's just Trixie, she thinks she's the most popular student in the school," said Flash. As Flash helped Sonic and Shadow up, Trixie went to bench. "Now, watch in awe, my beloved peers, as the Great and Powerful Trixie performs the most spectacular feat of benching the most weight!! Observe!!" As everybody watched Trixie, Sonic and Shadow, saw that there was no weight's on the bar. "Oh man, this should be fun to watch," whispered Sonic to Shadow. "Yeah, no kidding," whispered Shadow to Sonic. As Trixie, started to bench she found out that she couldn't lift the bar. As she tried to lift the bar everyone including Sonic and Shadow started to laugh. "How dare you all laugh at the Great and Powerful Trixie!! The bar is just....stuck it's all," she said, angrily. As Trixie, continued to struggle with the bar a cross eyed girl with tan hair and orange eyes came up to the bar and lifted it up with no trouble. "Oh fine! This was a pitiful use of Trixie's time anyway," said Trixie. As Trixie stomped off Sonic looked at Shadow and said. "Well, would you look at that Shadow. It seems that the Great and Powerful Trixie, isn't so Great and Powerful after all." "HA, yeah you got that right bro," said Shadow. Trixie over heard them and said in an angry voice. "Well if you two think that you can do better. Why don't you show us?" "Fine, we will," said Shadow. But then Sonic pulled Shadow over to him and whispered. "Shadow, are you crazy? Don't you remember what Twilight said?" "Yes, I remember Sonic. But she lost her magic, and what we have is different." said Shadow." Sonic nodded and then they went up to Coach Armor. "Hey coach?" Asked Sonic. "Yes Sonic?" Asked Coach Armor. "Put me and my brother in next." As another student finished their turn on the bar, Coach Armor was getting the it ready for Sonic and Shadow. "Ok Sonic. You will be first and then your brother." Sonic nodded and went to the bar. As he did he saw that it had 70 pounds on it. "Um coach? I would like more weights on it, if you please." "Ok Sonic. How much weight do you want on it?" Asked Coach Armor. "Well, I was thinking 250 pounds....on both sides." Sonic said with a smirk. "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?! Coach Armor gasped, while dropping the weights. The students (Except Shadow) were blown away by his answer. Lifting that much would break the school record by far. "I said, I would like 250 pounds on both sides on it please," Sonic repeated. “Are…are you sure? That’s a little too much if I would say," said Coach Armor. “One hundred percent," Sonic answered. With that, Coach Armor nervously shrugged and started putting 250 pounds on each side of the bar. Once they were in place, Sonic laid back, grabbed the bar and started lifting the bar with no trouble at all making everybody including Trixie have their mouths on the floor. > Chapter 3 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sonic and Shadow in Equestria 3 The Search For The Crystal Heart By: Will Atkinson Chapter 3 (With Tails in class) As Tails was working in his english class with his partner, he still couldn't believe who his teacher or his working partner was. (Flashback before the bell for first period starts) As Tails walked down the hallways after departing with Sonic, Shadow, and Nyx. Until he saw his first class of the day. "Well, this looks like the right classroom." With that, Tails walked into the room and to the teacher sitting at his desk. "Hello there, I'm Tails. I'm also a new student here in Canterlot High." "Oh, yes, Tails! I was told that you would be in my class! My name is Espio." When Tails hear that his teacher's name was Espio, he was shocked. ("I can't believe it. Espio, here in Canterlot High.") Tails said, to himself. "You ok Tails?" Asked Espio. "Oh yes, it's just that your name reminds me of a friend back at home," said Tails. "Oh I see well, Tails go and sit down over there somewhere, class is about to start." said Espio. With that Tails walked to a desk right beside a young girl with orange eyes and orange hair with pony tails. "Hi there, I'm Tails." The girl looked at Tails and Smiled. "Hi Tails, I'm Cream." When Tails heard that this girls name was Cream, he almost fell out of his seat for not only that Espio was here but Cream too. "Hey Tails? are you alright?" Asked Cream. But before Tails could say anything bell rang. "Alright class, it's time to settle down and get ready to work. Cause today you are going to pair up with a partner and write a 300 ward essay on about you and your partner," said Espio. (End of flashback) After that Tails and Cream was partnered up together and soon they were writing a 300 ward essay about each other. "Wow Tails, everything that I've heard about you and your family is just amazing," said Cream. Tails smiled at Cream and said. "Thanks Cream, and everything you told me about you is amazing as well." "You know what Tails? I think that this is a start of a beautiful friendship," said Cream. "Yeah, I think so too Cream," said Tails. (With Sonic and Shadow in gym) After Sonic was done with his bench presses students were amazed by his strength. For he had just lifted 500 pounds, 50 times, without even braking a sweat. "AH, I told ya I could do it!" Said Sonic, happily. "Yeah, that's my bro," said Shadow, as he did a fist bump with Sonic. After that Shadow then walked up to the bar and laid down before Coach Armor could take off the weight's. “Wait a minute Shadow, are you sure you want to lift that much?” He asked. Shadow confidently smiled and nodded. He then started lifting the bar as well and the students were amazed by Shadow’s strength as well. Soon, Shadow also reached 50 lifts as well and never broke a sweat. After that, Sonic and Shadow received pats on the back from all of the students. Well all except Trixie. "Hey Trixie, I guess we're Great and Powerful now huh?" Teased Sonic, with Shadow and then everyone else started laughing at the joke. After hearing that Trixie growled and then walked away. After she left the Rainbow colored hair girl and the blond colored hair girl walked up to Sonic and Shadow. "Man, you guys are sure strong," said the girl with the blond hair. "So, you must be Applejack right?" Asked Shadow. "Yep, that's me," she said. "And I'm Rainbow Dash," said the girl with the rainbow colored hair. Just then Flash came up to Sonic and Shadow. "Man, I can't believe you two bench pressed 500 pounds 50 time without even breaking a sweat!!" Sonic and Shadow chuckled at that remark. "Well, what can I say? We are just full of surprise's," said Sonic. "Oh we never gotten your name's yet surgarcube's," said Applejack. "Oh sorry about that. I'm Sonic and this is my brother Shadow." "Sonic and Shadow huh? Cool names, but why are you called Sonic?" Asked Rainbow Dash. "Oh that's easy, because where I come from they call me the fastest thing alive," said Sonic. When Rainbow Dash heard that she thought that this would be a good time to show this newbie her speed. "Oh really? Well here I'm the fastest." "Oh yeah? Well why don't you prove it then?" "So, is that a call for a race blue boy?" Asked Dash. "Bring it on Rainbow Crash." said Sonic After hearing that made Rainbow, all red in the face. "What....did....you....just....call....me?" Asked Dash, who was smashing her teeth angrily. "Uh-oh he seriously crossed the line their," said Applejack. "Yup, he sure did," agreed Flash. Sonic chuckled and then said. "That's right, I called you Rainbow Crash. What are you going to do about it?" "I'm going to make you eat those words," said Dash. "Big talk, but let's see if you can back it up," said Sonic. "Sounds cool to me! We'll race after school on the school track. Deal?" Asked Dash. "Deal," agreed Sonic. With that, they shook each others hand to confirm the race going a head. "I will be there to win," said Sonic. "We'll see about that," said Dash. Just then the bell rang and they all set off to their next classes. As time past Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Nyx were starting to enjoy their time in Canterlot High. As Sonic and Shadow went to their classes they saw the rest of their friends Rarity, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy. As for Tails, and Nyx, they got to met up with the Cutie Mark Crusaders, then in no time at all it was time for lunch. As the four of them met up Tails told Sonic and Shadow, all about Cream and Espio being here at Canterlot High. "But, how could Cream and Espio, be here?" Asked Shadow. "Yeah, I mean. Twilight never told us that they were here," said Sonic. "Well maybe they came here after my mom left, I mean it has been awhile since she was here," said Nyx. Just then they reached the lunch room and went in, as they went in the lunch room they saw Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and the rest of their friends were motioning them to come over to their table. "Hey you two. Who are these two darlings?" Asked Rarity. "Girls, we would like you to meet our other brother Tails and our sister Nyx," said Shadow. "Well it is nice to meet you Tails and Nyx, I'm Rarity and these are my friends Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy." "It's very nice to meet all of you," said Tails. "Yes it is," said Nyx. "Hey where's Sunset?" Asked Shadow. As soon as he said that, a vice rang out behind him. "Behind you Shadow." "SUNSET, YOUR HERE!!!!" Said Pinkie, as she gave Sunset a bone crushing hug. "Pinkie....need....air," Sunset wheezed. “Oops, sorry Sunset.” Pinkie sheeply smiled while letting go of her friend. "Wait how do you know Sunset?" Asked Applejack. "Well we kind of bumped into her when we arrived," explained Sonic. With that Nyx deicide to tell Sonic, Shadow, Tails, Sunset and five of the mane six about what happened before her free period started. When she did everybody had expressions of both sock and anger on their faces. "They....did....WHAT?!" Asked Applejack, angrily. "Yes, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, did what I told you all," said Nyx. "Why those no good brats. I should go up to them and give them a piece of my mind." said Sunset. "Now, now Sunset, it's ok now because Vice Principal Luna, took care of it," said Fluttershy. "Yes she did, and I'm glad she came when she did," said Nyx. "Well I'm glad that they are getting what they disserved. Because no one dose that to my young sister and gets away with it," said Applejack. Just then Pinkie went up to Sonic and asked. "So Sonic are you going to race Dashie after school or what?" "Why yes I am. but how did you know that?" Sonic asked. "Oh she told all of us during class darling," said Rarity. When Tails heard this, he was shocked. "Is that true Sonic?" Tails Asked. "Yes, actually," said Sonic. "Um Sonic? I thought we agreed no powers," Tails whispered. "Don't worry Tails, I will just use just a little bit of my powers," whispered Sonic. Just then then the school bell rang. "Well brothers, I guess it is time that we head to our band class," said Nyx. But just as they were about to set off Rainbow Dash stopped them. "Wait you guys have band next?" She asked. "Yeah, do you?" Asked Tails. "We all do sugar," said Applejack. "Hey, what about we all go together?" Pinkie Pie suggested. "Sure, the more the merrier," said Sonic. With that Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Nyx along with Sunset Shimmer and the five of the mane six setoff to band class. As the gang went to their final class of the day Fluttershy asked Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Nyx. "So um, are any of you four good with instruments?" "Well, I'm good with an electric guitar," said Sonic. "Same here," said Shadow. "I used to play the drums back at home," said Tails. "And I play the piano," said Nyx, remembering back on Equestria when she was in the schools talent show and she won it with her spectacular piano playing which made Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon not happy. "But, I highly doubt that we're gonna play any of those instruments, because the last I remembered that bands in high school use trumpets, flutes and other classical instruments like that," said Sonic. "Well, that may apply to those kinds of schools, but here at Canterlot High, we're aloud to use any kind of instrument we wish to play," said Sunset. When Sunset said this Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Nyx couldn't believe it. "Are, are you serious!?" Gasped Shadow. Sunset giggled and said. "You be surprised what this school also has, but I'm not gonna spoil anything for you guys." Finally, the gang made it to the class room. Inside the class room, guitars, flutes, drums and other amazing instruments were everywhere. The students in the class room were talking among themselves thinking about what they should add for their next music assignments, while others were in the sound booth rooms practicing their music. Sonic, Tails, Nyx, and even Shadow were amazed what they were seeing. "Wow, this is an amazing music room. Your teacher must love music with all his heart," said Tails. "Well, what can I say; music is in my soul," said a familiar male voice. The gang turned around and stood face to face with their music teacher. He wore a green jacket with a white t-shirt inside. He had on black shoes, along with a pair of jeans. he had green hair, cream-like skin and amber eyes. He also wore a gold chain around his neck, along with a pair of headsets. ("Could it be.") Sonic thought to himself. "Welcome to my class. My name is Mr. Vector, but just call me Vector," the man said. ("Aw man. First Espio, then Cream, and now Vector? This is really weird. Why is it that these people look and sound like our friends from Mobius?") Sonic thought. Vector looked at Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Nyx, and asked. "I'm probably guessing that you four are the new students to this school, correct?" "Uhh, yes sir we are. My name is Shadow, and these are my brothers Tails, Sonic, and our sister Nyx." "Hi there Vector," said Sonic. "It's very nice too meet you Vector," said Nyx and Tails together. Vector smiled at the four and said. "Well, it's nice to meet you four. Now I want you four to choose an instrument of your choice and play a song for me." When Vector said this, Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Nyx were shocked. "What? But sir, we just got here," said Tails. "Yes I know, but as part of the rules of this class, I need to see and hear what you four can do when it comes to music," Vector explained. "Did everybody do this when they first came to this class?" Asked Sonic. "Yep. Now go ahead and choose an instrument of your choices," Vector said, showing the wall of instruments on the side of the wall. The four nodded and went to choose their instruments. Sonic chose a shiny blue electric guitar with cyan streaks on them, Shadow chose a black electric guitar with red streaks, Tails chose a yellow drum set with metal sticks, and Nyx chose a classical piano. "Ah, interesting choses. Electric guitars, a drum set, and a classical piano. But the question is who will sing for your group?" Vector asked. "That would be me and Shadow sir," said Sonic. "Hmmm, you four are interesting to me. Alright then, get your instruments ready and I'll bring the students together," said Vector. With that Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Nyx plugged in their instruments into the speakers and other wiring, and also set the tones of their instruments. Finally, all the students came together and looked at the four that were on stage ready to preform their song. "Okay newbies, what's the name of the song you four will be playing today?" Asked Vector. Sonic smiled and said. "This one is one of my most favorites I have ever played for a while; it's called 'It Doesn't Matter'." "Never heard of that song before, but show me what you got you four," said Vector. With that Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Nyx nodded and Tails clancked his sticks together to start a beat. Then the four started to play. (It Doesn't Matter from Sonic Adventure 2 starts to play) Vector, the students, five of the mane six, and Sunset Shimmer were already blown away the start of their song. They became more impressed when Sonic started singing. (Sonic) OH YEAH, Alright Well, I don't show off, don't criticize I'm just livin' by my own feelings And I won't give in, won't compromise I just only have a steadfast heart of gold I don't know why I can't leave though it might be tough But I ain't out of control Just livin' by my word Don't ask me why I don't need a reason I got my way, my own way (Sonic and Shadow) It doesn't matter now what happens I will never give up the fight There is no way I will run away From all of my frights Long as the voice inside me says go I will always keep on running There is no way to stop me From going to the very top It doesn't matter Who is wrong and who is right Vector couldn't believe what he was hearing. In all of his years of teaching in this class, he had never met a couple of newbie's who were amazing with music, especially rock. (Sonic) Well, I won't look back I don't need to. Time won't wait and I got so much to do. Where do I stop now, it's all a blur and so unclear. Well, I don't know but I can't be wrong. (Sonic and Shadow) It doesn't matter now what happens I will never give up the fight. Long as the voice inside drives me to run and fight. It's all your best or the one you think is right. While they continue to play their song, Sunset and her friends then realized that many students were at the door listening to Sonic and his friends amazing performance. Vector saw the students and smiled. He motioned a hand, allowing the students to enter. Soon, piles of students entered the room and Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Nyx had a huge crowd. (Sonic and Shadow) Ooh, it doesn't matter now what happens I will never give up the fight. Long as the voice inside drives me to run and fight. It doesn't matter who is wrong and who is right. (Sonic) No, no, no, no It doesn't matter. (Song ends) After the song ended, all the students in the crowd shouted and cheered for Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Nyx performance. Sonic gave the crowd the peace sign, Shadow grinned and gave the crowd a thumps up, Tails smiled while twirling his sticks, and Nyx smiled and gave the crowd a bow. Vector came on stage and clapped. "That was outstanding. In all my years of performances from many students in Canterlot high, you four have surpassed them all. Well done," he said. When he said that Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Nyx smiled at him. "Alright everyone, those that are not in my class, please leave and get back to your classes," Vector called out. The students took their leave and Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Nyx got many pats on the back from their classmates. Rainbow Dash then walked up to them and smiled. "That was awesome!! You four told us that you were all good with instruments, but you didn't say you four were that good," she said. just then the rest of the gang came up to them. "You guys did very good!!" Said Rarity. "Yes, that was nice," said Fluttershy. "You all did such a great job," said Pinkie Pie. "I couldn't have done it better myself," said Sunset. "I second that," said Applejack, Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Nyx all smiled at the remarks that they were getting from their human versions of their friends. "Well I said it before and I'll say it again, we're full of surprises," said Sonic, as he gave theme a thumps up. After that, Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Nyx sat down and started planning out what new song they should play next week or so. After 4th period class ended, Sonic, Shadow, Tails, Nyx, Sunset, and five of the mane six left the band class and met up with Flash. Sonic's race against Rainbow Dash was upon him and he was extremely pumped. "So, you ready for your race with Rainbow Dash, Sonic?" Asked Nyx. "Heck yeah, I'm gonna put her in her place, and show her that I'm the fastest thing alive," said Sonic, as he was beaming with energy. After hearing that, Rainbow Dash chuckled and said. "I wouldn't count on that. I can be a challenge when it comes to racing." "Believe me, I've seen Sonic in action and no one was able to keep up with him, except me," stated Shadow. How fast can he go?” Asked Sunset. “That’s for us to know and for you to find out.” Sonic smirked. Sunset shrugged as the gang continued down the hallways of the school. As the gang made it to the door, they were then stopped by no other than Principle Celestia. “Oh, hello Principle Celestia, is there something we can do for you?” Asked Rarity. “I just want to speak with Nyx for a minute, if you don’t mind.” Celestia said. "Ok Principle Celestia," said Nyx. As Celestia took Nyx to her office, Tails called out. "Hey Nyx we'll wait for you outside ok?" "Ok Tails," said Nyx. As Nyx and Celestia made it to the office, Celestia asked Nyx to sit down. "Nyx? Do you know why you are here?" Asked Celestia. Nyx was nervous now. "If this is about what happen with Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon? I'm sorry, I was just trying to stop them from bullying Applebloom," explain Nyx. "It's ok Nyx, I understand I brought you here so I could thank you for what you did," said Celestia. "Wow, thanks Celestia, it's the lest I could do," said Nyx. "But from now on if you see anybody being bullied or if you are being bullied please come and get me or get Vice Principal Luna ok?" Asked Celestia. "Ok Celestia, I will," said Nyx Celestia smiled at here and said. "Thank you Nyx, now run along now." "Ok Celestia, and thank you," said Nyx With that she waved goodbye to Celestia and left to meet up with her friends at the track. When she made it outside to the track, she saw her friends waiting for her. "Hey Nyx, over here," said Pinkie Pie. "Hey guys, did I miss anything?" Asked Nyx. "No, Sonic and Rainbow Dash are just about to start," said Applejack. As Nyx looked at the direction her friends were looking she saw Sonic and Rainbow getting ready for their race. "Ok racers on your mark....get set....GO!!!!" Said Sunset. (Escape from the city from Sonic adventure 2 starts to play.) With that the racers took off at an explosive pace. Sunset Shimmer was blown back by how fast they were going, Sonic and Rainbow Dash took sharp turns around corners and were neck and neck. "Well, I gotta say blue boy, you're not half bad," said Rainbow Dash. "Your not bad yourself Skittles," Sonic said back. "Heh, you know that sounds better then Rainbow crash." "How so?" Asked Sonic. "Because you're about to TASTE THE RAINBOW!!!!" Rainbow Dash then started glowing and her rainbow hair started growing into a ponytail, pony ears and she grew wings on her back. She then started flying off the ground. “WHAT THE!?” Sonic gasped by her new form. “See ya blue boy.” She said before flying off at high speed, leaving a rainbow trail behind her. ("How could this be? Twilight never told us that her human version of her friends had powers too. Oh well, I guess I’m gonna have to step up my game as well.”) Sonic thought grinning. Sonic then started speeding up. His legs started moving faster than before. He wasn’t close to his Sonic Boom just yet, but he’ll use it if Rainbow pushes him to his limit in the race. Up ahead, Rainbow laughed at the reaction Sonic had when she left him in the dust. “Ha Ha! That was priceless. He so didn’t see that coming. He put up a good fight in the race, but I got this in the –“ “Not bad Skittles, Not bad at all.” Said a familiar voice. She then looked to her side and her mouth hung open. She saw Sonic beside her running…backwards? He chuckled. “What…how are you…how did you…when did…” She was at a loss of words. “Ha ha. You should see the look on your face, priceless.” He said chuckling. “How’s he doing this? He caught up to me and is matching my speed with no problem. Who is he?” Rainbow thought. Rainbow increased her speed leaving Sonic again, but Sonic caught up to her again running normally. On the bleachers, Sunset and the others saw the tension of this Race. Shadow, Tails, and Nyx looked at Rainbow with shock. “When did Rainbow have wings?” Tails asked Rarity. “How is it that your brother can run that fast?” Rarity asked as well. Everyone was at the loss of words over what was happening in the race. Pinkie was at the finish line holding her camera, ready to take a picture to get evidence who won the race. Rainbow and Sonic passed through the finish line and Pinkie took three pictures. The two racers skit to a halt. All their friends came down the bleachers and met up with the two speed demons. (Song ends) “How were you able to keep up with me? No one is faster than me.” Rainbow said. “Didn’t you hear me from gym class, back where I’m from I’m known as The fastest Thing Alive.” Sonic said. (“How is this even possible? How can he move that fast?”) Rainbow thought. “How is it that you have wings?” Shadow asked. “We’ll worry about that later, but first, Pinkie who won the Race?” Rainbow called out. Pinkie went up to the group and showed them the picture, and what they saw made everybody except for Shadow, Tails, and Nyx mouths drop to the floor. For Sonic beat Rainbow by just a nose. "Alright Sonic, tell us just who your brothers, sister and you are?" Asked Applejack. Tails, Shadow, and Nyx looked at Sonic who gave them a dopy smile. "Well?" Asked Rarity. Sonic and his friends looked at them, sighed and then Sonic said. "Alright you guys we'll tell you everything." "We're listening," said Sunset. (Power hungry fool from Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance starts to play) As Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Nyx explained their story to the human versions of their friends they were unaware that Chaos Phantom, was watching them from behind the wall of the school. "So, those fools came here too? Well once I find those sirens and the Crystal Heart then they will be nothing." Just then he heard someone behind him. When he turned around he saw three girls walking and arguing about something. So he deicide to hear what they were arguing about, once he got into earshot he could hear the three talking. "Man Adagio, I wish that we still had our amulets," said the girl with purple and light blue striped hair. "I know Aria, but unfortunately we don't have them so we have to make do without them," said the girl with orange and yellow hair. "Hey Adagio?" Asked the girl with light blue and purple striped hair. "Ugh, what is it Sonata?" Asked Adagio. "Well, I'm getting hungry," she said. Aria hit the top of her head and said. "Geez Sonata, you just ate," "Well, I'm sorry. Without my amulet I'm always hungry," said Sonata. "Oh why did I ever get banished here with you two clowns anyway?" Asked Adagio. As the girls continued to argue, they heard a dark voice. "Maybe I could be some assistance?" The girls spun around and they were face to face with a teenage boy with dark blue hair, and claws. "Hey, who are you?" Asked Adagio. "My name is Mad God Ember Hewdraw, but call me Chaos Phantom for short." "Alright Chaos Phantom, tell us what you want?" Asked Aria. "What if I told ya I could help you get your powers back?" Asked Chaos. After hearing this the girls were entrusted now. "And how can you help us to get our powers back?" Asked Adagio. "Oh how about these?" Asked Chaos, as he presented the girls with three amulets. "Hey, it's our amulets," said Sonata. "How did you get them?" Asked Adagio. "My queen from Equestria gave them to me to give to you," said Chaos. "Wait did you say Equestria?" Asked Aria. Chaos Phantom chuckled evilly and said. "Yes, for you see I'm from Equestria thanks to my queen who gave me life." With that he told the girls the whole story of why he was here, after he finished the girls laughed evilly. "Don't worry Chaos Phantom, will take care of these pest for ya," said Adagio. "Thank you, and here are your amulets," said Chaos, as he gave them their amulets. As they put theme on they felt their powers returning. "Oh yes, the sirens are back," said Adagio. With that the sirens and Chaos Phantom started to laugh evilly. (Music ends) > Chapter 4 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sonic and Shadow in Equestria 3 the search for the Crystal Heart By: Will Atkinson Chapter 4 A week had passed since the race and ever since then Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Nyx had told Flash, Sunset, and five of the mane six their story about how they got to their world and why they were there. After hearing their story Flash, Sunset, and five of the mane six have deicide to help Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Nyx with this terrible situation that they were in, so Sonic and Shadow stayed with Flash while Tails and Nyx stayed with Sunset. It's now a Saturday affternoon, and Sonic, Shadow, and Flash are playing with Flash's Xbox 360. "Wow this game you have Flash, is way passed cool," said Sonic. "I agree, it's nice," said Shadow. "Well, thanks you two," said Flash. Just then there was a knock at the door. "Now, who can that be?" Asked Flash, as he got up and headed toward the door. When he opened the door he saw Derpy the mail girl. "Oh hey Derpy, what are you doing here?" Asked Flash. "Oh well I just came here to give you and your roommates these," said Derpy, as she gave some envelops to him and then left. As Flash came back in the room, Shadow asked. "Well, who was it Flash?" "It was Derpy and she gave me these," said Flash, as he presented Sonic and Shadow the three envelops. "Hmm, I wonder what it is?" Asked Sonic, as the three opened their envelops. When they did, they saw that it was an invitation to a fighting tournament in Town Hall today. "Oh wow, it's a invitation to a fighting tournament and we can sign up," said Sonic. "This would be awesome," said Shadow. "And it also says that the winner will get a trophy and two million dollars cash," said Sonic. Flash put the paper down on the table and said. "Well, I'm game what about you guys?" "We're in," they said together, while giving him the thumbs up. With that the three got into Flash's car and set off to Town Hall. Meanwhile Tails and Nyx was Chilin at Sunset house until Sunset's cell phone rang. "I'll get it," Sunset said, as she got up and answer her cell phone. "Hello?" She asked. "Hey Sunset," said Flash. "Hey Flash, what's up?" Asked Sunset. "I'm just calling to tell you that me, Sonic, and Shadow are going to sign up for that fighting tournament today," "Oh wow cool, I got a call from Rainbow and Applejack a couple minutes ago and they said that they were going to sign up for that tournament today as well." When Flash heard this, he almost dropped his phone. "What? Rainbow and Aj are going to be there too?" He asked. "Yep, and the others are going to leave soon too see the tournament," explained Sunset. "Ok well, we'll see you there," said Flash. "Ok see ya," said Sunset, as she hugged up the phone. With that Sunset went back to the room to get Tails and Nyx, so they could get to Town Hall in time. "Come on you guys it's time that we should be going to Town Hall now," she said to them. "So, who was on the phone?" asked Tails. "It was Flash, and he called to tell us that he, Sonic, and Shadow were going to sign up for the sixteen fighters tournament," said Sunset. After she said that Tails shook his head. "That's Sonic and Shadow for ya, they always are up for some challenge," said Tails. Just then Nyx got up and headed for the door. "Well come on you two, let's go and get to Town Hall." "Ok Nyx, we're coming," said Sunset. With that Tails and Nyx got into Sunset's car and the three set off for Town Hall. Meanwhile back with Sonic, Shadow, and Flash, they made it to Town Hall, once there they came up to the sign up desk and wort their names on the paper. When they were done they set off inside to join the rest of the wrestlers that were waiting for the tournament to start. "Wow look at all of these people that are in the tournament," said Shadow. "Yeah, there a lot of people here" said Flash. Just then a fimiler voice rang out. "Hey Sonic, Shadow, Flash over here," When Sonic, Shadow, and Flash turn around they saw Rainbow Dash waving at them. "Hey Rainbow," said Sonic. "We heard that you and Applejack are here for the tournament as well," Shadow said. "Yeah, that's right," said Rainbow. "So, where's Applejack?" Asked Flash. As soon as he said that then he felt a tap on his shoulder when he tuned around he saw Applejack. "Don't do that ever again Applejack," said Flash. "Sorry sugar," said Applejack. "So Applejack, how many people are here for the tournament?" Asked Sonic. "Oh that's easy, there will be sixteen and you, Shadow, and Flash were that last fighters to come," she said. Just then Sonic saw a familiar red hair knuckle head coming their way. ("Oh great, Knuckles is here too?") Sonic asked himself. "Well, Well, Well look what we have here, more fighters," said the young man. "And just who are you?" Asked Applejack. "I'm Knuckles, one of the strongest fighters here." Sonic and Shadow shook their heads. "If your one of the strongest here then who is the rest?" Asked Flash. "Oh that's easy, it's that guy right their," said Knuckles. Sonic, Shadow, and the others turned to where Knuckles was pointing at and they saw a big guy with a nose ring throwing punches. "Who in the world is that?" Asked Shadow. "That is Iron Will, he is undefeated in the MMA," said Rainbow Dash. "That's right and he is here for that prize money," said Knuckles. Just then Iron Will approached the five with a smile on his face. "Well if it isn't my old challenger Knuckles, and with fresh meat no less," he snickered. "You were lucky last time Iron Will, but this time I will be the victor," said Knuckles. "But first you have to get through the other challengers first, and if you do make it I'll see you at the finales," said Iron Will. With that Iron Will left the five with anger in their eyes. "Man what a arrogant puck," said Shadow. "Yeah, no kidding," said Applejack. Just then a men with a ref shirt came in. "Alright everyone it's almost show time so we want everyone to come out to the arena to see who they will be fighting in the first round," he said. "Well I'll see one of you in the tournament or may be two," said Knuckles, and with that he set to the arena with Sonic, Shadow, Flash, Rainbow, and Applejack right behind him. Meanwhile Sunset, Tails, and Nyx made it to Town Hall. "Well here we are," said Sunset. "Wow this Town Hall is much bigger then the one back in Equestria," said Nyx. "Yeah it is Nyx," said Sunset. "Well we better start heading in before it starts," said Tails. Just before they entered the building a voice rang out. "Hey Sunset, Tails, Nyx over here." The three turned around to see Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rarity along with Applebloom, Sweetie Bell, and Scootaloo. "Hey you guys, what are you doing here?" Nyx asked. "We're her to see Applejack and Rainbow fight," said Scootaloo. "What about you three?" Asked Rarity. "We're here to see Rainbow and Applejack fight too as well as Sonic, Shadow, and Flash," said Sunset. When they heard that Sonic, Shadow, and Flash were going to fight as well they couldn't believe it. "Wait Sonic, Shadow, and Flash are in the fighting tournament too?" Asked Fluttershy. "Yeah, they are," said Tails. "Wow, awesome first Rainbow Dash and Applejack and now Sonic, Shadow, and Flash are going to be in the tournament as well," said Scootaloo. "Well come on and let's get in there before it starts," said Sweetie Bell. With that they all set off inside Town Hall to get a seat for the big fighting tournament. Once inside Tails and Nyx stared in aw of how big the place was. There were banners, pictures of fighting champs, football champs, basketball champs, and much more including antic stores. "Wow, look at all of this cool stuff," said Nyx. "Yeah, who knew that there would be all of this stuff in here," said Tails. Just then they made it to the ticket booth. "Well welcome, are you all here for the fight today?" Asked the ticket clerk. "Yes we are," said Sunset. "Alright so where do you want to be at?" The ticket clerk asked. "We need nine tickets for the lowest row please," said Sunset. The clerk looked into her papers and said. "Your in luck we have nine ticket left for the lowest row, and that will cost you a thousand dollars." Sunset looked in her pockets to see if she had any money, only to find out that she had two hundred dollars. So she looked at her friends to see if they had any money. When her friends checked their pockets Fluttershy found eighty dollars in her pockets, Tails found fifty dollars in his pockets, Rarity found four hundred dollars in her pockets, Pinkie pie found eighty dollars in her pockets, Nyx looked in her pockets and found fifty dollars, Applebloom found forty dollars in her pockets, Sweetie Bell had forty dollars, and Scootaloo had twenty dollars. Once they saw that they had enough money they gave it to Sunset and then she gave the money to the ticket clerk. "Thank you very much miss, now just wait until I get your tickets." When the ticket clerk gave the nine tickets to Sunset, then she, and the others went in to find their seats for the tournament. When they got inside they saw that the arena was almost full. "Wow it looks like that they are almost ready to start," said Fluttershy. "Yep it looks like it Fluttershy," said Pinkie pie. Just then, as soon as they sat down the lights dimed and a man with a ref shirt came into the ring ans said in a loud voice. "Hello ladies and gentle man and welcome to Town Hall for this years sixteen men fighting tournament, so please welcome this years fighters Spitfire, Sorin, Pete Steel, Razor, Lightning, Blade, Rollin Steel, Cody the Crusader, Joey the avenging angle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Sonic, Shadow, Flash, Knuckles and the undefeated Iron Will." Just then after he got done announcing them Spitfire, Sorin, Pete Steel, Razor, Lightning, Blade, Rollin Steel, Cody the Crusader, Joey the avenging angle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Sonic, Shadow, Flash, Knuckles, and Iron Will came out to the arena, into the ring and waved at the crowd. "Wow it looks like we are going to have a good fight coming up," said Pinkie Pie. "Yep and even a human version of mine, Nyx, Sonic, and Shadow's friend Knuckles is going to be in the fight," said Tails. "So I'm guessing the guy with the red hair is Knuckles?" Asked Applebloom. "Yep, that's right," said Nyx. Just then they caught a glimpse of Iron Will. "Wow and look at the size of that guy," said Scootaloo. "Yeah, that guy looks like he could be trouble for our friends," said Sunset. "I hate to say it but I think your right darling," said Rarity. As Spitfire, Sorin, Pete Steel, Rollin Steel, Razor, Lightning, Cody the Crusader, Blade, Joey the avenging angle, Flash, Sonic, Shadow, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Knuckles, and Iron Will left the ring the guy in the ref shirt stepped back in and said. "Well ladies and gentile man it is now time for the tournament to cements now." As soon as he said that then spot lights came on and the fighting music came on to single the beginning of the tournament. "Well it looks like their starting now," said Nyx. "This is going to be so much fun," said Pinkie pie. Then they heard a guys voice on the intercom. "Hello and welcome to Town Hall ladies and gentile man. So I hope you all are ready for this sixteen fighters tournament for the first fight of the day is Sonic facing off against Rollin Steel." When he got done announcing the first fighters names, Sonic and Rollin Steel walked out to the arena and into the ring. "Hey look, Sonic is fighting first," said Tails. "Yeah and he's facing that Rollin Steel guy," said Applebloom. "I've heard of him. He and his brother Pete Steel are both good fighters but sometimes they are arrogant," said Rarity. In the ring Rollin Steel looked at Sonic and said. "Well, Well it looks like I have a rat for my first opponent." Even though Sonic was a human now, he still disliked the word ‘rat'. "Oh yeah? Well this rat is going to whip your butt puck," said Sonic. "Why you little," said Rollin, as he got in the face of Sonic. Before it could get out of hand the guy with the ref shirt jumped in to break them up. "Ok you guys save it for the fight." "Wow these two are ready to get it on here and now," said the announcer. After they settled down the ref motioned for the bell to ring. "Well it looks like the ref is signaling for the bell to ring which means that the match starts now," said the announcer. The bell sounded and Sonic and Rollin were off fighting. As Rollin charged at Sonic, he suddenly disappeared. "Hey, where did you go you little rat?" Asked Rollin, as he was looking around. Just the he felt a tap on his shoulder and as he turned around and saw Sonic right behind him. "But how did you do that?" Asked Rollin. "Easy," said Sonic, as he made a fist. "I'm the fastest thing alive." With that he punched Rollin and he went down hard. "Holly cow and with one punch Rollin is down and out and your winner for the first round is SONIC," said the announcer. When everybody saw what Sonic did they all were shocked excepted Sunset, Nyx, Tails, Pinkie pie, Rarity, Fluttershy, Applebloom, Sweetie Bell, and Scootaloo. "Wow, how did that Sonic kid do that?" Asked a fan. "I don't know but it was something," said another. Just then everybody started cheering Sonic's name, all excepted for four who were setting in the most darkest row of the arena. "So I'm guessing that, that spiky blue hair boy is Sonic the hedgehog?" Asked Adagio. "Yes, him and Shadow are very powerful so you need to watch out," said Chaos Phantom. "Well I think he's kind of cute," said Sonata, looking at Sonic with love in her eyes. "Oh shut up Sonata," said Aria. As the tournament continued Knuckles defeated Joey the avenging angle, Rainbow defeated Spitfire, Iron Will defeated Sorin, Flash defeated Razor, Cody the Crusader defeated Lightning, Shadow defeated Pete Steel, and Applejack defeated Blade. "Well ladies and gentile man what a awesome first round for these great fighters. Now we will take a twenty minute break and then we will start the second round," said the announcer. After that everybody left to get something to eat and go to the restroom. Meanwhile in the locker room Sonic, Shadow Rainbow Dash, Flash, and Applejack were celebrating on their wins in the first round of the sixteen fighter tournament. "Oh wow Sonic, that was so awesome," said Rainbow. "Yeah it was," said Sonic. "I still can't believe it took you just one punch to knock out Rollin," said Flash. "Yeah Sonic, good job," said Applejack. Just then Iron Will came up to them and said. "Ha, so you beat Rollin Steel with one punch, but I have won with one punch too before." "Oh yeah? Well what about I show you what I'm truly made of?" Asked Sonic, as he went up to Iron Will's face. "Whoa take it easy Sonic," said Rainbow Dash. Iron Will laughed and said. "You better lesion to your friend their rat because I want you to be still concuss to see me beat her in our match after yours against Knuckles." After hearing that Rainbow Dash turned her attention to Iron Will and said. "Oh yeah? Well why you just bring it on right now?" Before Iron Will could say anything Knuckles stepped in. "That is enough Iron Will." "Or what Knuckles? You try to stop me by fighting me before yours and the rat's fight?" Asked Iron Will. "Just leave them alone now," said Knuckles angrily. "Fine," said Iron Will and with that he stormed off. After Iron Will left Knuckles turned back at Sonic and the others. "Thanks Knuckles, for helping us out with that big brut," said Applejack. Knuckles smiled at the farm girl, just then the guy with the ref shirt came in. "Alright Sonic and Knuckles, it's time for your match." As Sonic and Knuckles came out to the arena and into the ring everybody cheered. "Well you ready for this Knuckles?" Asked Sonic. "I'm always ready for a fight Sonic," said Knuckles. With that they shook hands and then the ref signaled the bell to ring for the first fight of the second round. As Knuckles charged at Sonic, he dogged and the he grabbed Knuckles' leg and then through him down the mat. Then Sonic climbed up on the turnbuckle and then took off, but before he could hit Knuckles, he got up and grabbed Sonic and punched him in the face and then in the stomach. "Wow what a match this is, Sonic and Knuckles, are evenly matched in this fight," said the announcer. As the match continued Sonic and Knuckles were tired but not nether one of them wanted to give up. "Your....tuff....Knuckles," said Sonic. "So....are....you.....Sonic, but....now....this....fight....is....over," said Knuckles, as he charged right at Sonic. Just then before Knuckles could finish off Sonic, he ducked under Knuckles and gave him a hard punch in the gut. After that Knuckles fell down to the canvas KO'ed. "Oh man it's over the winner is Sonic," said the announcer. "Oh wow, what a fight," said Sunset. "Yeah no kidding," said Rarity. "That's our Sonic," said Tails. "Wow that Sonic dude is something else," said a fan. "Yeah, Knuckles gave him more then a challenge then Rollin did," said another. Then Sonic walked up to Knuckles who was starting to regain concuss and helped him up. "You ok Knuckles?" Asked Sonic. "Yeah, I'm fine," said Knuckles. With that Sonic helped Knuckles back to the locker room with the crowd cheering. "Man ladies and gentile man, now that is some sportsmanship from the winner Sonic," said the announcer. As Sonic and Knuckles made it to the locker room Flash came up to them. "Here Sonic let me help you," he said, as he put Knuckles arm around him. "Thanks for this," said Knuckles. "It's not a problem Knuckles," said Flash. As Sonic and Flash put Knuckles down to rest Iron Will came up to them. "Well, well it looks like I know who my next opponent is." "Hey you jerk, you still have Rainbow Dash to deal with," said Sonic. "That's right you punk," said Flash. "Ha, that girl doesn't scare me. Once I beat her I will see you in the final four you rat," said Iron Will. With that he left to get ready for his match for Rainbow Dash. "Oh that Iron Will is getting under my skin," said Shadow angrily. "Take it easy Shadow, and don't worry Rainbow Dash will take care of that big bully," said Applejack. "That's right, I'll make sure that he begs for mercy," said Rainbow Dash. Just then the guy in the ref shirt came in the looker room. "Alright now, will Iron Will and Rainbow Dash please come to the ring now." "Well wish me luck you guys," said Dash. "You'll do fine Rainbow," said Sonic. "Sonic is right, you'll do just fine," said Shadow. "Now go and teach that guy some manners," said Applejack. Dash smiled and then left for the ring. Meanwhile Sunset and the others were talking until they saw Rainbow Dash and Iron Will coming to the ring. "Well here we go, Rainbow Dash and Iron Will. This is going to be some fight," said Sunset. "Yes this is going to be so much fun," said Pinkie Pie. "Yeah Rainbow Dash is going pound that guy," said Scootaloo. "I just hope Rainbow can do it," said Sweetie Bell. Just then the bell for the match rang then Rainbow and Iron Will went at it. "Alright you big ape, I think it's time for you to get a beating," said Dash. "An ape am I now? Well just for that girl I'll show you some respect," said Iron Will. With that Iron Will charged right at Rainbow. "Alright lets do it," said Rainbow. (Super Buu theme from Dragonball Z starts to play) With that she ran right at Iron Will, as the competitor's came close to one another Rainbow Jumped up into the air and was about to kick Iron Will. But Iron Will dogged it and then did a spin kick which connected to Dashes face, Dash went down with a hard thud which made everyone in the arena gasp in shock. Even Sonic, Shadow, Applejack, Flash, and Knuckles looked on in horror of what Iron Will did. "Well little girl it looks like your out already but I'm not done with you yet," said Iron Will. With that he kept on bitten up Dash with no sign of letting up. "Oh man, Iron Will is dominating this fight. And Rainbow Dash doesn't seem to be fighting back," said the announcer. As Iron Will continue to hurt Rainbow, the crowd started to boo. "Hey that Iron Will guy is going way too far on that girl," said a fan. "Ref, stop the match will ya. That rainbow girl can't fight no more," said another. "Oh man Rainbow Dash, is getting pommeled," said Tails. "Yeah somebody has got to stop this," said Nyx. "Oh I can't look," said Fluttershy, as she covered her eyes. "Hay you big bully stop hurting Dash," said Scootaloo, as she started to go over the railing. But before she could Rarity stopped her. "Scootaloo, you can't go down there," she said. "Rarity is right Scootaloo, if you go down there then you'll get hurt," said Sunset. "But what about Rainbow Dash?" Scootaloo asked. "There is nothing we can do Scootaloo," said Pinkie Pie. Meanwhile in the locker room Sonic, Shadow, Flash, Knuckles, and Applejack looked on at the beating that Iron Will was putting on Rainbow Dash. "Oh man Rainbow Dash, is in trouble," said Flash. "Yeah somebody has got to stop this," said Applejack. Just then Sonic got up. "Well if no one is going to do anything then I will," He said, as he started to head to the arena. But before he could get to the arena to stop Iron Will, Shadow stepped in and grabbed Sonic and said. "Sonic, no you can't go out there." "But Shadow, what about Dash?" asked Sonic. "Lesion to me Sonic, I know how your feeling right now but if you go out there now you will be disqualified from this tournament," said Shadow. "I don't care about this stupid tournament all I care about is helping Rainbow, and that is what I'm going to do," said Sonic as he got Shadow off of him and then he punched him in the gut. After that he went to help Rainbow Dash, but when he got there he saw Rainbow being helped on a stretcher with Tails, Nyx, Sunset, Applebloom, Sweetie Bell, Scootaloo, Pinkie pie, Rarity, and Fluttershy by her side. (Music ends) "RAINBOW!!" shouted Sonic as he hurried to her side. When Sonic made it to Rainbow's side she didn't look very good. "Please sir you need to move back so we can work on her," said the paramedic. "Please tell me this. Will she be alright?" Sonic asked. The paramedic shook his head and said. "I'm not sure, she really took a beating but we will try our best to make her better again." Just before they took her to the infirmary Rainbow stopped them. "Wait please let Sonic come with me," she said weakly. The paramedic's tried to object but then they saw Rainbow glaring at them. "Alright he can come," said the female paramedic. Before Sonic left with them Scootaloo stopped him. "Hey Sonic?" "Yeah Scootaloo?" "When your match with Iron Will starts show him one for," Sonic looked at Scootaloo and smiled. "Don't worry Scootaloo, he will pay." With that he left to catch up to Rainbow Dash. "Well come on you guys lets get back to our seats," said Sunset. "Alright," they all said. Meanwhile in the looker room Iron Will was still celebrating his domination on Rainbow Dash. "HAHAHAHAHA!!!! That girl was weak, I can't believe she thought that she could beat me." Just then Shadow, Flash, and Knuckles came up to him. "Well, well, well, if it isn't the losers and where is that rat?" Asked Iron Will. "First of all he is not a rat his name is Sonic," said Shadow. "And second his in the infirmary with Rainbow Dash the one you hurt out there," said Flash. "You have gone too far this time Iron Will," said Knuckles. Iron Will just laughed and said. "You all are just too weak to fight me." "Oh yeah well guess what pal Sonic is going to mop the floor with you," said Shadow. After hearing that Iron Will made a mockery of what Shadow just said. "Oh, oh no somebody help me I'm so scared." Before Shadow could retaliate the ref came in and called for the next fighters to come out to the arena. Meanwhile in the infirmary Sonic and Rainbow who was still badly hurt were watching the fights on the TV. "So Sonic, who's fighting next?" Asked Dash. "It looks like Flash is next Rainbow," said Sonic. As they continued to watch the tournament on TV, Flash defeated Cody the crusader and in the next match Shadow defeated Applejack. After that Flash, Applejack, and Shadow went to see Rainbow and Sonic before his match with Iron Will. "How are you feeling surgarcube?" Applejack asked Rainbow. "Like I got run over by a truck," joked Rainbow. "Yeah you sure look like it," said Shadow. Then everybody started to laugh, just then the Knuckles came in the infirmary. "Sonic? It's time for your match with Iron Will." When Sonic heard this he nodded and then left the infirmary to the arena. to make Iron Will pay for what he did to Rainbow Dash. "Well ladies and gentile man here we are in the finale four and up first is Sonic going up against the undefeated Iron Will," said the announcer. When Sonic came out to the arena everyone cheered and shouted. "GO SONIC!!!!" But when Iron Will came to the arena the crowd booed and started to throw paper cups and stuff at him and then they started to shout. "GET HIM OUT OF HERE!!" said one. "YEAH, HE DOESN'T BELONG IN THIS TOURNAMENT!!!!" said another. Just then Sunset, Pinkie pie, Rarity, Fluttershy, Applebloom, Sweetie Bell, Scootaloo, Tails, and Nyx also joined in. Hearing everybody booing and seeing them throwing stuff at him made Iron Will very mad and then he shouted. "HOW DARE ALL OF YOU PEOPLE. IRON WILL, WILL SMASH ALL OF YOU AFTER I TAKE CARE OF THIS RAT!!!!" Hearing the name rat again made Sonic roll his eyes. "How many times I have to tell you? I'm not a rat," he said angrily. "Well Kid get ready for a big beat down," said Iron Will, as he prepared to fight Sonic. Sonic smiled and said. "Alright then, lets do this Iron Will." Just then the bell rang and the match was on. "Ok rat, here I come," said Iron Will, as he charged right at Sonic. But just then he yelled out in pain, everybody looked and saw Sonic's elbow in the gut of Iron Will that made their mouths hang open. "Wow that was fast I couldn't fallow it," said Sunset. "Yeah, no kidding," said Applebloom. In the locker room everybody except for Shadow, Applejack, and Flash had their mouths opened as well. "How in the world did Sonic do that?" Asked Knuckles. Back in the ring Sonic moved away from Iron Will who was still groaning in pain and said. "Sorry about that, I saw an opening that shorted to scream out attack. So I did." Just then Iron Will fell down and showed no sign of getting up. Everyone looked in amazement, the unbeaten Iron Will had finally lost a fight. Then everyone stated to cheer for Sonic for finally defeating Iron Will. "Wow unbelievable, Sonic has defeated the unbeaten Iron Will and he will be facing either Shadow or Flash Sentry in our next fight," said the announcer. After that Sonic Left the arena and went back to the infirmary, when he got their he saw the others waiting. "Hey there's the one who beat the undefeated Iron Will," said Flash. "Yeah, way to go Sonic," said Applejack. "I knew you could do it Sonic," said Rainbow. "Good job," said Shadow. Just then Knuckles came up to Sonic and asked. "How in the world did you beat that guy? I mean I can understand beating Rollin Steel with one punch but Iron Will?" "Well what can I say? I'm just that good," said Sonic. Before Knuckles could say anything else the ref came into the room and said. "Hey Flash, Shadow? It's time for your guys' match." With that Flash and Shadow said their goodbyes' and headed to the arena. As they came to the arena their was a mix of cheers for Shadow and Flash. "Well this is it Shadow, are you ready?" Asked Flash. "Yeah, I'm ready Flash, and don't worry I'll go easy on you," said Shadow. "Thanks man." Just then they heard the bell ring and then they started their fight with one another. Shadow and Flash started to circle one another until Shadow ran right at Flash and started his attack on him. But before Shadow could get a hand on him Flash moved out of the way and hit him in the back of the head with his elbow. Shadow shook it off and charged at Flash again and this time when Flash tried to doge him Shadow ducked and then did a spin kick that connected to Flash in the back of the head. "Wow what a fight this is turning out to be, Shadow and Flash Sentry are really going at it here. This is going to be a great final four match up between these two," said the announcer. As the match continued Shadow and Flash were slowly getting up after they hit each other hard. "Man Shadow, even when your not fighting me with all of your power your still giving me a run for my money," said Flash, walking to Shadow who was still down. Shadow looked up at his friend and smiled. "Thanks, your not so bad yourself Flash." Then, without warning Shadow did an upper cut to Flash, which made him go up in the air, and then he used chaos control to teleport up in the sky and then he put his hands together and knocked Flash back down to the mat. "Wow, unbelievable Shadow has just knocked out Flash Sentry, and that means that in our last match we will have Sonic vs. Shadow," said the announcer. In the stands Sunset, and the others had weird expressions on their faces. "Wow Flash, never saw that coming," said Nyx. "Yeah, no kidding," said Tails. "I know one thing Flash, is not going to be happy about this," said Rarity. "But hay we are going to have a brother vs. brother match you guys," said Pinkie. After she said that everybody excepted for Applebloom, Sweetie Bell, and Scootaloo face palmed. "Pinkie? Remember they are not brothers," whispered Sunset. "Oh yeah, I forgot about that," said Pinkie. In the infirmary Sonic and Rainbow saw the whole thing. "I can't believe that Shadow tricked Flash, like that," said Dash. "Well that's Shadow, for yeah. He always pretends that you have beaten him but then he comes back and gets ya," said Sonic. "I see," said Dash. Back in the ring Shadow, came up to Flash who was slowly getting up. "You ok Flash?" Shadow asked. As Flash got up he slapped him a crossed the face. "Hey what was that for?" Shadow asked, as he rubbed his cheek. "That was for tricking me to think I won against you," said Flash. Shadow just laughed and said. "Well it was your lost." With that Shadow left the ring with Flash right behind him. Back in the infirmary Sonic and Rainbow Dash continued to talk about Flash and Shadow's fight until they arrived in the room. When they did Sonic and Dash saw that Shadow had a big lump on his head. "Hey Shadow, what happen to you?" Asked Sonic. Shadow, pointed at Flash and said. "Flash here hit me on the head with a pipe." After hearing this Sonic and Rainbow Dash, laughed. "Well I'm sure that will that will teach you for tricking Flash, like that Shadow," said Dash. "Whatever," said Shadow. "So anyway Shadow, are you ready for out match?" Asked Sonic. "Ha, you know I'm ready for our match Sonic." "Good because I'm going to win." "No Sonic, I'm gonna win." Just then they started arguing until the ref came into the room and said. "Sonic, Shadow? Its almost time for your match." "Ok we will be right there," they said together. Meanwhile Chaos Phantom, Adagio, Sonata, and Aria were getting ready to watch the finals of the sixteen fighters tournament. "So Sonic and Shadow, have made it to the finals," said Chaos. "You were right about Sonic and Shadow," said Adagio. "Yeah, no kidding even that Sonic guy who took Iron Will down so easily," said Aria. Just then they saw Sonata looking in the binoculars at someone. "Hey Sonata? Who are you looking at?" Aria Asked. "Oh I'm just looking at that sweet boy with two pony tails in his hair," Sonata said. "WHAT?!" Adagio and Aria, they asked together. "Oh nothing," Sonata said, as she tried to put away her binoculars. But before she could Adagio grabbed them out of her hands and look to see the boy. "That kid with those guys?" Adagio asked. "Yes, isn't he something? Sonata asked. "Let me see," Said Chaos Phantom. As Adagio gave him the binoculars and he looked at the boy. "That is Tails, another friend of Sonic," he said. "Are you serious Sonata? First Sonic, and now this boy named Tails?" Asked Adagio. "What? I'm a girl, it's not my fault that I like boys," she said. "Sonata?" Asked Aria. "Yes Aria?" "YOUR AN IDIOT!!!!" Just then they saw Shadow and Sonic coming out to the ring, knowing that the final match was about to begin. "Well Shadow, this is it," said Sonic. "Yep, you and me in the finals," said Shadow. (Live and Learn from Sonic Adventure 2 starts to play) After that the bell rang and the finals were on. "Alright Shadow, ready or not here I come," said Sonic, as he ran right at him. "Oh, I'm ready," said Shadow, as he ran right at Sonic. As the two charged at each other Shadow did some fast kicks and punches. Sonic manages to dodge most of them, but failed to dodge the last few attacks. “C’mon Sonic, is this the best you got? Asked Shadow. "No, it's not," said Sonic, as he punched Shadow in the gut and then hit the back of his head with his elbow. As the match continued to get more serious the crowd was starting to enjoy it more. "Holy moly, this is turning out to be one huge fight in this final match in this tournament ladies and gentile man," said the announcer. Shadow was slightly impressed by Sonic’s determination and will to continue to fight. Shadow grinned a little to show Sonic it was time to get serious. “Alright Sonic, it’s time to kick it up a notch.” Shadow said, as he summoned the seven chaos emeralds. "NO SHADOW, WAIT!!!!!" Shouted Sonic. But it was too late Shadow, had just used the chaos emeralds to transform into his super form and when he did Tails, Nyx, and the others look on in disbelief. "Shadow, you idiot. Why did you do that?" Asked Tails. "Yeah, you were not suppose to show your powers here," said Nyx. "Why did Shadow transform?" Asked Sunset. Tails looked at Sunset and said. "So that he can beat Sonic." "Wow Shadow looks cool with yellow and red strike hair," said Scootaloo. "Yeah, he dose," said Sweetie Bell. When the crowd saw Shadow, transform they couldn't believe what they were seeing. "Wow look at that," said a fan. "Yeah, that Shadow dude now has yellow and red strike hair," said another. Back in the ring Shadow came up to Sonic who was trying to get up. "Well Sonic, shale we get started with round two?" He asked. Sonic, looked up at Shadow and smiled. "Alright, let round two comments." Just then Sonic transformed into his super form as well and then he charged at Shadow. "Oh great, now Sonic transformed," said Tails. "Well so much for keeping a low profile here," said Nyx. Rarity looked at Tails and Nyx, and said. "Don't worry you two I'm sure everything will be just fine." "Rarity, is right you guys everything will be just fine," said Pinkie. As the fight continued Sonic and Shadow, were evenly matched. "Well Sonic, you have gotten more powerful since the last time we fought," said Shadow. "Thanks Shadow, your not so bad yourself," said Sonic. Just then Sonic, punched Shadow in the stomach hard and then he used his super sonic wind which made contact with Shadow. "Wow what a move by Sonic, Shadow is down and I think he's not going to get up from that one. And here comes the ref to check if Shadow, can still fight and the ref is saying that Shadow, is down and out and the winner of the sixteen fighters tournament is Sonic," said the announcer. (Music ends) After they heard that the crowd cheered for Sonic, the champion of the sixteen fighters tournament. As Sonic powered down he went over to Shadow, who was just starting to get up. When Shadow looked up at Sonic, he saw that Sonic put his hand out to help him up. "You alright Shadow?" Asked Sonic, as he helped him up. "Yeah, I'm fine Sonic, and congrats on your win," said Shadow, and then he raised Sonic's hand up and when he did that the crowd lost it. "Wow can you believe what that Shadow dude is doing," said a fan. "Yeah, now that's what I call sportsmanship," said another. Even Sunset, Tails, Nyx, Fluttershy, Pinkie pie, and Rarity were pleased. "Wow what a match," said Sunset. "Yes, very good," said Rarity. "Oh, I'm so proud of them both," said Fluttershy, with tears in her eyes. Back in the ring the ref came in and presented Sonic with the trophy and the two million dollars. Back up in the stands Chaos Phantom and the sirens got up and started to leave. (Big Boo's Haunt from Super Mario 64 starts to play) "You were right, about those two Chaos Phantom," said Adagio. "Yeah, that was some power they have there," said Aria. "Yes, and now we go to our hide out so we can plain our attack agent them," said Chaos. "Hey, where's Sonata?" asked Adagio. As soon as she said that then Sonata came out of the arena. "Where have you been?" asked Adagio. "Oh I just went down to the first floor to get Sonic's autograph see," said Sonata, as she reviled a picture of Sonic with his name on it. "Sonata, sometimes you can be such a looser," said Aria. "Hey, I am not a looser Aria," The two of them argued until Chaos Phantom, stopped them. "Alright, you two that is enough now lets go and think of what we can do to get rid of Sonic, Shadow, and their friends alright." With that they set off to their hiding place to think of a plain to beat Sonic and Shadow once and for all. (Music ends) > Chapter 5 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sonic and Shadow in Equestria 3 The Search For The Crystal Heart. By: Will Atkinson Chapter 5 A few days had gone by since the sixteen fighters tournament and since then Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Nyx had a apartment to live in, some transportation, and instruments for their band class. Now it was Tuesday and they were in the band room with five of the main six and Sunset practicing for a special school band competition for charity, Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Nyx called their band The Sonic Heroes, and the five of the main six called their band The Rainbooms. "Well guys, have you seen Rarity?" Asked Rainbow Dash. "Sorry Rainbow, we haven't seen her today," said Sonic. "I have, she was going to get me my piano that I forgot at home," said Nyx. Just then the door of the music class opened and their was Rarity, on top of Nyx's piano with three guys helping to bring it in. "Thank you boys, so much for your help," she said, as she got off the piano. "Your welcome Miss Rarity," the three boys said, and then they went to their class. After the three boys left Rarity came up to her friends and got her instrument on. "Well there you go Nyx, your piano is here safe and sound," she said to Nyx. Nyx, came up to Rarity and hugged her. "Oh, thank you so much Rarity," she said. "Your very welcome darling," said Rarity, as she returned the hug. "Well if your ready Rarity, its time for us to practice," said Rainbow. "This is going to be great," said Sunset, as she moved and sat on Nyx's piano. "Come on guys let's get out of there way." Said Shadow. After Sunset, Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Nyx got out of the way the five of the main six started their music. (Rainbow Rocks from Equestria girls Rainbow Rocks starts to play) As they started to play Sonic, Shadow, Tails, Nyx, and Sunset started to groove with it. (The Rainbooms) We used to fight with each other (Oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh) That was before we discovered (Oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh) That when your friendship is real (Oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh) Yeah, you just say what ya feel And the music, yeah, the music Gets us to the top Just then they started to transform into their pony versions of them selves. As we learn how the rainbow... Rainbow Rocks! As Sonic, Shadow, Tails, Nyx, and Sunset continued to groove they stopped and looked in awe when they saw them with pony ears, pony tails, and wings. (Applejack) You can pick up the bass (The Rainbooms) (Oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh) (Rainbow Dash) And you can play the guitar (The Rainbooms) (Oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh) (Pinkie pie) You can bang on the drums (The Rainbooms) (Oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh) (Rainbow Dash) Or you can sing like a star (The Rainbooms) And the music, yeah, the music Gets us to the top As we learn how the rainbow... Rainbow Rocks! As we learn how the rainbow... Rainbow Rocks! (Music ends) As they finished playing they transformed back to normal. "Alright, now that's what I call a song," said Rainbow. "Yes, we rock so good," said Pinkie pie. Just then Shadow came up to them and said. "I still can't believe you all can do that." "I know and it's fun when it happens," said Rarity. "I would just like to know why it happens? I mean Princess Twilight took her crown back to equestria. shouldn't that mean she took all of the magic with her?" Asked Applejack. "Yes, that is a good question," said Tails. Just then Rainbow spoke up. "Who cares why it happens you guys it makes our band completely awesome." "She's got a point there," said Fluttershy. "Sometimes I wish I could do that," said Sunset. "Well you did, excepted you transformed into a she-demon," said Pinkie. Just then she realized what she said. "No offense." "None taken Pinkie pie," said Sunset. "Oh don't worry darling, you have come so far to try to redeem yourself. I mean Applebloom, Sweetie Bell, and Scootaloo forgive you," said Rarity, trying to cheer Sunset up. "Thanks Rarity, but I'm not sure everyone else at CHS feels the same way." Just then they heard Principal Celestia's voice on the laud speaker. "Sunset Shimmer? Please report to the main hallway." "Well I gotta run, I volunteered to show new students around the school. I thought it would be good for them to get to know the new me, before they hear all the stuff about the old me," said Sunset, as she left the room. After they left Rainbow turned to Sonic, Shadow, Nyx, and Tail. "Say you guys since we still got some time left before lunch, I think it's time for your turn." "Yeah, lets do it," said Nyx, as she headed to her piano. "Alright, here we go," said Tails, as he got up to his drums. "Ok Sonic heroes, lets do it," said Sonic. Meanwhile Sunset was at the main hallway greeting the three new students of Canterlot High. "Hello you three, I'm Sunset Shimmer." The three girls looked at Sunset, then the girl with orange and yellow hair said. "It's very nice to meet you I'm Adagio, and these are my friends, Aria, and Sonata." "Well, I would like you three to know that Canterlot High is a great school, I know you are going to love it," said Sunset as she took the girls on a tour of the school. "Oh yes, we really sense that there's something magical about this place," said Adagio, as she, Aria, and Sonata sniggered. As Sunset, showed the sirens around the school she was naming all of the class rooms to them. "Over there, that's the science lab, the computer lab is over there, oh we're having a musical showcase this weekend to raise money for charity the whole school is pretty much rally around it." When the sirens heard this they smiled evilly. "Uh, did you say a music showcase?" Asked Adagio. "Yes, and I'm sure since your new here Principal Celestia will let you sign up if your entrusted," said Sunset. "We have been known to sing from time to time," said Aria. "Hello, we sing like all the time that's how we get people to do what we want," said Sonata. After hearing that Aria, slapped Sonata, on the back of the head. "What? What did I say?" Asked Sonata, as she rubbed her head. "What you meant to say was that being in a musical showcase, sounds like great way to meet other students," said Adagio. "Oh yeah, the what she said what I meant to say that's what I meant....to say," said Sonata. "What you would've said if you weren't the worst," said Aria. "You are," said Sonata. Just then Adagio, moved in front of them. "You'll have to excuse them, there idiots." Then Sunset, noticed the amulets on the girls necks and said. "Oh wow, those are pretty where did you....?" Suddenly Adagio, moved Sunset's hand away from her amulet and said. "Oh, I'm so sorry you see these pendant's mean an awful lot to us. We just hate for anything to happen to them." With that, they walked away with Sunset at a lost for words. At lunch Sonic, Shadow, Tails, Nyx, and five of the main six were talking about the musical showcase when Sunset came and sat down with them. "So, how was the tour Sunset?" Asked Applejack. "I don't know Applejack, I mean these girls they were, there was something off about them," said Sunset. "You mean like off like this or off like this?" asked Pinkie pie, as she did lots of crazy faces. "Uh, maybe Pinkie, we should let her tell us," said Rainbow Dash, as she was looking at Sunset. "That's just it you guys, I can't put my finger on it they just acted short of strange around me. Maybe someone already talked to them, told them what I did? Oh well, so much for making a first impression," said Sunset, as she put her head down on the table. Fluttershy tried to help Sunsert. "Well Sunset, don't worry that's probably normal." Just then she got stares from everybody at the table. "Don't worry Sunset, I'm sure you'll get friends here soon enough," said Sonic. "Sonic is right Sunset, these things just take time," said Shadow. "Yeah, and don't forget that we are your friends," said Nyx. "I second that," said Tails. Sunset looked at them with a little smile on her face. "Thanks you guys, that means a lot to me." Meanwhile, outside of the cafeteria the sirens were looking at all of the students in there. "This is it girls, the moment we've been waiting for," said Adagio. "Lunch?" asked Sonata excitedly. When she said that Adagio, groan and then face palmed. "No Sonata, the chance to get our true Equestrian magic back." "Oh....right." "Thanks to Chaos Phantom, our voices are strong enough to make them want something so badly they'll fight to get it," said Adagio, as she was looking in the cafeteria at the students. "So we're just gonna do, what we did in Equestria? Stir up some trouble, and then feed off the negative energy? Some plain Adagio," said Aria. Adagio, sighed and then said. "Look Aria, it won't be like before. Remember there is Equestrian magic here, their negative energy will give us the power we need to get this entire world to do our biding." "But we can get lunch after though right? It's taco Tuesday," said Sonata happily. "Just follow my lead," said Adagio. "Or my lead," said Aria. Just then Adagio pulled on Aria's shirt and said with her teeth clinched. "My....lead now come on." "With that, they headed in the cafeteria to carry out their plain. Once they opened the cafeteria door they started to vocalize their voices. (Let's have a battle, battle of the bands from Equestria Girls Rainbow Rocks starts to play) As they were vocalizing Sonic, Shadow and the others were looking at them curiously, then everybody in the cafeteria all looked at them. Just then they started to sing. [Adagio Dazzle] We heard you want to get together We heard you want to rock the school We thought of something that is better Something that changes all the rules Why pretend we're all the same When some of us shine brighter? [Aria Blaze and Sonata Dusk] Shine brighter As they continued to sing their amulets started to glow. [Adagio Dazzle] Here's a chance to find your flame Are you a loser or a fighter? [The sirens] Me and you, you and me Why don't we see who is better? We don't have to be one and the same thing Oh, what's so wrong with a little competition? Are you afraid of failing the audition? [Adagio Dazzle] You're a star and you should know it Yeah, you rise above the rest It doesn't matter who you hurt If you're just proving you're the best [The sirens] Ah, ahh-ahh-ahhh Battle! You wanna win it Let's have a battle, battle of the bands Let's have a battle, we'll go all in it Let's have a battle, battle, battle Battle of the bands Battle! As the sirens continued to sing the student's started to argue. Blueberry Cake: I can beat you! The Dazzlings: Battle! Cherry Crash: Ha! You wish! The sirens: Battle! Trixie Lulamoon: I so want this! The Dazzlings: Battle! Captain Planet: Not if I get it first! [The sirens and students] Me and you, you and me Why don't we see who is better? We don't have to be one and the same thing Oh, what's so wrong with a little competition? [Students] I'm going out and winning the audition [The sirens and students] Battle! We wanna win it Let's have a battle, battle of the bands Let's have a battle, we'll go all in it Let's have a battle, battle, battle Battle of the bands! (Song ends) When they stopped singing the whole cafeteria was arguing except for Sonic, Shadow and the others. "You were right Sunset, their is something strange about those girls," said Sonic. Just then Rainbow Dash, spoke up and her voice was not pleasant. "What's your problem Sonic?" "Yeah, there is nothing wrong with those girls," said Rarity. "Um I think that those girls are pretty cool," said Fluttershy. "Yeah, and I think a battle of the bands is a great idea," said Applejack. "That would be so much better then the showcase for charity that we were going to do," said Pinkie pie. Sonic, Shadow, Nyx, and Tails couldn't believe what their friends were saying. "Come on you guys, don't you see what's going on here?" Asked Shadow. "Oh we know what's going on here Shadow," said Applejack. "And that's, you four want all the fame and fortune to your selves," said Rainbow. Nyx, couldn't believe what Dash just said. "That's not true Dash." "Oh don't you play innocent with us Nyx," said Rarity. "Oh, don't waste your time with them Rarity, let's just go," said Applejack. With that Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie pie, Rarity, and Fluttershy left. Leaving Sonic, Shadow, Nyx, Tails, and Sunset all lost for words. After lunch they walked through the hallways discussing what happened. "Those three are defiantly in possession of some kind of dark magic. I mean how else could you explain what happened back there and what happened to our friends?" Sunset asked. "Don't worry Sunset, all we need to do is to tell Principal Celestia, all about this and those girls will be gone in no time," said Tails. Once they got to Celestia's office they knocked on the door. "Come in," said Celestia. After hearing Celestia's voice Sonic, Shadow, Sunset, Tails, and Nyx came in. "Oh hello you five, and what brings you here?" Celestia asked. "Celestia? We think we have a problem here at the school," said Shadow. With that they told Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna what happened at lunch. After they did Celestia said. "Dark magic? I find that hard to believe." "What? But why?" asked Nyx. "Because Nyx, those girls came into my office earlier and were absolutely delightful." Then Luna spoke up. "Maybe Sunset Shimmer, is just egger to make someone else out to be a bad element, so her actions at the Fall Formal would become old news." Sunset felt a little hurt when Vice Principal Luna said that but said "I could see why you would think that Vice Principal Luna but...." But before she could finish Sonic stepped in and said. "That's not what's happening ma'am, we saw all of this go down at the cafeteria too." "Yes, but isn't your band suppose to be part of the showcase?" Asked Celestia. Sonic stuttered for a second and said. "Yes." "Well, perhaps you all are just worried that the Dazzling's, will steal your spotlight," said Luna. "Uh, the Dazzling's?" Asked Tails. "Yes, it's the name of their musical group. That's why they came by my office earlier to sign up for the showcase, even sang a little song to Vice Principal Luna and I," said Celestia. After hearing that, the gang became worried. "Uh, they did?" Asked Shadow nervously. "Yes, and we think having a battle of the bands instead of a charity showcase is a marvelous idea," said Celestia. Suddenly Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna's eye began to glow green. "Oh, and one more thing before you leave, we decided that the crystal shaped heart will be the prize for the first place winner," said Luna. After hearing that Sonic, Shadow, and the others gasped. After that they were outside thinking of what just happened in Principal Celestia's office. "I can't believe those girls got to Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna too," said Sunset. "They've gotten to everyone, including our friends," said Sonic. "Yeah, but what about us? I mean why weren't we infected by their magic?" Asked Nyx. "That is a good question Nyx, we were in the cafeteria when the Dazzling's were singing," said Shadow. "Well, what ever the reason we need to stop them from taking over the school," said Sonic. Then Tails had an idea. "Maybe we can get a message to our friends in Equestria, that way they can tell us who the Dazzling's are." "That would be a good idea Tails, except that the portal to Equestria is closed and it won't open in the next 30 moons," said Shadow. "There has to be away that we can get a message to the Princesses, our friends, and to my mom," said Nyx. Just then Sunset had an idea. "I think know how we can get a message to Princesses and the others." "Really, how?" Asked Sonic. "Just follow me you guys." With that Sonic, Shadow Nyx, and Tails followed Sunset back to the school. Once back in the school Sunset, opened her locker and started to look for something. Just then she came out of her locker with a book that had Sunset's pony cutie mark on it. "When I was Princess Celestia's student, back in Equestria she gave me this," said Sunset, as she dusted off the book. "Even after I abandoned my studies I held on to it, deep down I guess I knew I was making a big mistake and I wanted to still have away to reach out to her, so maybe it still works." "Um I'm sorry to be rude Sunset, but um that's a book. What do you mean it still works?" Asked Tails. "Well Tails, it use to be if I wrote something here it would appear in a page of a book in Princess Celestia's library. I get a message to her then she can wright a message back to me telling us what those girls are. After hearing this Sonic, haled up a pen and said. "So what are you waiting for Sunset? get to writing." With that Sunset took the pen and looked at the book. "Wow, It's been a long time since I written these words down," said Sunset, as she began to write. Dear Princess Celestia..... Meanwhile back in Equestria, Celestia and Luna were looking to find away to re-open the portal so Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Nyx could get back after getting a letter from Twilight the day after the Crystal Heart was stolen. "Did you find anything yet sister?" Celestia asked. "No, not yet," said Luna. As they continued to look though the books Luna saw that her sister was troubled by something. "Sister, are you alight?" "Yeah, it's just something puzzles me Luna." "And what would that be?" "Well it's this Chaos Phantom, like who created him and how did he get to the Crystal Empire?" Before Luna could answer her, she saw a book glowing. "Um sister?" "Yes Luna, what is it?" "Their is a book glowing on the top of the bookcase over there." When Celestia looked up there was a book that was glowing. ("Can it really be?") Celestia asked herself. Celestia used her magic and opened up the book. "What is that book sister?" asked Luna. "It's a book that I made so I can keep in touch with Sunset Shimmer, and it looks like an urgent message to me," said Celestia. When she continued to read her eyes went to pin pricks and then after she was done she dropped the book. When she dropped the book Luna looked at her with concern in her eyes. "Sister, what's wrong?" Celestia looked at her sister and said. "Luna? Their back." "Who? Who's back sister?" asked Luna. "The sirens." After hearing that Luna's eyes went wide. "The sirens? But that's impossible I thought Star Swirled took their powers away and banished them into another world?" "Yes he did, and I think that the world he sent them to is where Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Nyx are at," said Celestia "Well that explains how they got there, but that still doesn't explained how they got their powers back?" Celestia just shook her head and said. "I'm not sure ether Luna, but what I do know is that Sunset, Sonic, and the others are in great danger." "Then we must worn them," said Luna. With that Celestia nodded and started to wright in the book to worn Sunset, Sonic, and the others about the sirens and the danger that they were in. > Chapter 6 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sonic and Shadow in Equestria 3 The Search For The Crystal Heart By: Will Atkinson Chapter 6 Back at Canterlot High. Sunset, Sonic, Shadow, Nyx, and Tails were outside waiting for a responds from Celestia. "How long do you think it will take for Celestia, to answer?" Asked Tails. Sunset looked at Tails, and said. "I'm not sure Tails, we'll just have to wait." Just then Sunset's book started to glow. "Hey guys? My book is glowing," After Sunset said that Sonic, Shadow, Nyx, and Tails went up to her to hear what Celestia said about the Dazzling's. "So, what did she say?" Asked Nyx. Sunset looked at her book and then she started to read. Dear Sunset Shimmer, "It's been a long time that we wrote to each other and I really miss you my little pony. But I know that this is not the time to catch up, I've read your message and the girls that you described to me means that you, Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Nyx are dealing with three magical creatures called the sirens." "The sirens? What are the sirens?" Asked Sonic. "Well, let me keep reading and then we'll find out," said Sunset, as she continued to read. "If you don't know what the sirens are, they were three beautiful but deadly creatures who had the power to charm ponies with their music. But to maintain this power, they had to feed on the negativity and distrust of others. The more of this negative energy they consumed, the stronger their voices became, and the farther they could spread their dark magic." After hearing this, the gang looked at each other with uneasy eyes. "That's just awful," said Nyx. "Not just awful but really bad," said Shadow. "That's not all, she also says that if the sirens had their way, they've would have divided and concord all of Equestria." But a pony named Star Swirled the bearded wasn't having it, he took their powers away and banished them into another world. Where he thought they would never harm any pony again, but know that they have returned you all need to do your best to stop them. So Sunset, Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Nyx good look and be safe." Yours truly, Princess Celestia. After Sunset got done reading Celestia's letter, Tails was confused. "Wait a minute, if Star Swirled took their powers away how did they get them back?" Sunset looked at Tails and said. "I'm not sure Tails, but if Celestia's right and it is the sirens here in Canterlot High, this spell they casted mite just be the beginning." "So what shall we do now?" Asked Shadow. "Well the first thing that I think that we should do is that we need to find the Dazzling's or in this case the sirens," said Nyx. "And I know just where to find them," said Sunset. "Really? Where Sunset?" Sunset looked at Nyx and said. "At the big party tonight in the gym of the school." "Well then, it looks like we have a party to crash," said Sonic. Then Shadow spoke up. "Hold on Sonic, remember we cannot let them know that we are on to them." "So what do you suggest we do Shadow?" Asked Tails. "We just keep a low profile until the battle of the bands competition." Everyone agreed to Shadow's plain, just then Nyx's stomach started to rumble. "But first let's get something to eat," Nyx said. "Right, and then we can come back here for the party and wait for the sirens," said Sunset. After that they left to get something to eat but what they didn't know was that Chaos Phantom heard everything. "So the fools know about the sirens huh? Then that means that my plain is working perfectly, once I get that Crystal heart not only me and my queen will take over Equestria but this world as well and those sirens will get a reward that they will never forget. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!" (Some time later) After Sonic, Shadow, Tails, Nyx, and Sunset got done eating they head back to the school for the party. Once they got their they saw every single student all staring at each other with angry stares. "Oh man, just look at are friends," said Sonic. "Yeah, I can't believe the sirens did this to them," said Nyx. "Well don't worry as soon as we win the battle of the bands they will be back to normal," said Sunset. Just then they saw the sirens talking. "This is great, I can't believe that we did it," said Aria. "Well of course it worked, it was my plain after all," said Adagio. Just then they noticed that Sonata was not with them. "Hey where's Sonata?" Asked Adagio. Then they saw her with Sonic and the others. "Oh wow it's you, the one who won that fighting tournament a few days back!!!!" said Sonata excitedly. ("Wow this girl is acting like Amy,") Sonic said to himself, then he said. "Yup, that's me," said Sonic. Sonata smiled and said. "My name is Sonata, what's yours?" "My name is Sonic and these are my friends Shadow, Tails, Nyx, and I think you already know Sunset Shimmer," said Sonic. Just then Aria and Adagio walked up to them. "Yes we do, we also know what she did here," said Adagio. When she said that Sunset became uneasy. "That's right, we know all about you Sunset Shimmer, and the things you did," Adagio continued. "Hey, I've changed I'm in a much better place now," said Sunset. "Oh really, like waiting in the wings while your friends have all the fun?" Asked Aria. Just the Tails stepped in. "What's that suppose to mean Dazzling's or should we say sirens?" "Tails, no," said Shadow, but it was too late. After hearing that the sirens smiled all except for Sonata. "So you know about us? Asked Sonata nervously. Sonic sighed and then said. "Yes we do, thanks to Princess Celestia in Equestria." The sirens looked at each other and then they looked at Sonic, Shadow, Tails, Nyx, and Sunset. "Well anyway back to your question of what it means that Sunset waits in the wings while her friends have all the fun? Well it means that they get to be in the battle of the bands but she dose not," said Adagio. "Ha that is where your wrong," said Sunset. "What do you mean by that?" Asked Sonata. Shadow smirk and said to them. "You see, before we came here in the gym Sunset went to Principal Celestia's office and sgned up for the battle of the bands." "So what?" She may be in the battle of the bands but she will not be accepted by the people here at this school," said Aria. "Yeah, especially with the spell we put on them," said Sonata. "That's right, and she will still be the girl who almost destroyed this school," said Adagio. After that Adagio, Sonata, Aria stated to laugh which made Sunset sad and Shadow angry. "Oh yeah well we'll see about that at the battle of the bands," he said. Just then Sonic put a hand on Shadow's shoulder and said. "Come on guys let's go home, we need the rest for the battle of the bands tomorrow," With that Sonic, Shadow, Sunset, Tails, and Nyx set off to go home. "They think they can win the battle of the bands," said Adagio. "Well we'll make them think again." "Really? How Adaio?" Asked Sonata. Adagio laughed and said. "First will make them enemies of the entire school and then we will break Sunset's heart at the battle of the band's" "And how do we do that?" Asked Aria. "Easy we'll make everyone think she cheated by knowing what her music is and then record it." After that they started to carry out their plain on making Sunset and the Sonic Heroes life's miserable at the battle of the bands. Meanwhile Sonic and the others, where wondering how they could break the spell over their friends and everyone in the school. "Do you think we can beat those girls at the battle of the bands and get the Crystal Heart back Shadow?" Asked Nyx. "I'm not sure Nyx, but we better be ready for anything," said Shadow. "Shadow's right you guys, remember we are facing sirens here and they have everyone in this school under their spell, including our friends," said Sonic. "I just hope we can do it," said Tails. And everyone agreed with him, then Sonic hade an idea. Wait a minute, I've got it." "What is it Sonic?" Asked Sunset. "Well if the sirens' song's can put everyone under a spell then maybe if we sing that would break the spell that the sirens put on our friends and everyone in the school." When they heard that they started to smile. "I get it Sonic, like fight fire with fire," said Tails. "Yes but instead we'll be fighting music with music," said Shadow. "Yeah those sirens will never know what hit them," said Nyx. With that they set off for Sonic and Shadow's house happy that they had a plain, but unknown to them a dark cloud was following them to their house. As they came to their home they all got into their night cloths and were ready for a goodnights rest. "Well you guys, I'll see you all in the morning," said Tails, as he went to bed. "Goodnight Tails," they all said together. And soon they were all asleep too, but some hours later Sunset woke up and tiptoed down stairs to the kitchen. Once there she sat down and thought of what Aria and Adagio said. "Maybe their right, maybe I'm never going to be forgiven for what I have done," Sunset said, with a sad look on her face. Just then she heard a voice. "Now I know that you did not just say that." Sunset looked up and saw Shadow, standing at the entrance of the kitchen. "Oh Shadow, I didn't hear you come in," Sunset said, as she wiped her eyes that had tears in them. Shadow, saw this and said in a soft voice. "Sunset? Are you still troubled of what the sirens just said?" Sunset looked at Shadow and slowly nodded. "Yes I am Shadow, I don't think that I'm ever going to be forgiven for what I've done." Shadow shook his head and said. "Now that's where your wrong Sunset, we forgave you and our friends forgave you before they were controlled by the sirens. After hearing that Sunset smiled at Shadow. "Thanks Shadow," she said, as she gave Shadow a hug. After they broke the hug Sunset started to yawn. "Well goodnight Shadow, I'll see you in the morning." Shadow looked at Sunset, and smiled. "Goodnight Sunset." With that Sunset got up and headed back to bed. Once Sunset left Shadow began to feel something in his chest. "I'm starting to feel strange, am I starting to fall in love with Sunset?" Shadow asked himself, as he head back to bed. Just as Shadow, went to bed the dark cloud that followed them came in and started to look around. "Now that I'm here it's time for me to find the perfect body for me to hide in until it's time for me to make my move," It said. Then it saw Nyx sleeping peacefully, and then it said. "Ah yes, this young girl will be the perfect vassal for me. If those foolish sirens fail at lest I'll have a plain B, and the then the Crystal Heart will be mine, and then no one will be able to stop the great Chaos Phantom, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!" With that Chaos Phantom went into Nyx's body and there he waited until the time was right to make his move. The next day Sonic, Shadow, Sunset, Tails, and Nyx were just getting up for the battle of the bands. "Well guys today is the day," said Sonic. "Yep, the day that we stop the sirens in the battle of the band and free our friends and the other students of Canterlot High," said Shadow. "Well then, what are we waiting for? Let's go and win this battle of the bands," said Nyx. With that Sonic, Shadow, Sunset, Nyx, and Tails headed to Canterlot High. When they got to the school they saw on a banner in front of the school saying, battle of the bands today in the gym. "Alright, let's do this," said Sonic. "Right, let's go," said Sunset. With that they set off into the school, but when they went in they saw posters of them with X's on them saying the Sonic heroes are going to win the battle of the bands. "Wha....what is this," asked Tails. "I'm not sure Tails, but I don't like it," said Shadow. "This is defiantly the work of the Dazzling's," said Nyx. Just then a voice rang out. "You know, they said you guys would say something that." Sonic, Shadow, and the others turned around and saw Flash and his band coming towards them, with their eyes glowing green. "Uh-oh," said Sonic. "Well, well, well if it isn't my former friends," said Flash. When Sonic, Shadow, and the others heard this they looked at Flash angrily. "What dose that suppose to mean?" asked Tails. "It means that I can't believe that you all would go through all this trouble to win the battle of the bands." Just then Nyx pointed at the posters. "What? You think that we did this?" "Yeah, we do," said Flash. "Oh come on Flash, were friends," said Sonic. Flash scoffed and said. "Friends? Yeah right, the Dazzling's told me the only resin you guys were friends with me was just so you guys could get more popular and win this battle of the bands just like Sunset did to me when we were dating." When Sunset heard that, she started to tear up but Shadow, stepped right in Flash's face and said. "Hey, friends mean more to us then a stupide battle of the bands compaction and plus Sunset, said that she was sorry so in our book she is forgiven." Then Tails stepped in Flash's face and said. That's right you guitar playing pretty boy, you have no right, I repeat, no right to talk to our friend that way! If you know what's good for you, you will apologize to her right now!" Everyone including Flash were shocked to hear Tails going off like this. "Look you were not here when she took over the school," Flash protested. "So what if we weren't here when Sunset took over the school? The past is the past Flash and as soon as you figure that out the better. Oh and one more thing, if you think pushing your friends away so you can win a stupid contest then your no friend of ours and it just makes you the biggest loser ever." After that Tails, turned to the others and said. "Come on you guys, lets go and get ready for our audition." With that walked pasted Flash but not until he said. "You may have forgave that she-demon, but no one else dose and further more my band will win the battle of the bands. Also we heard that your so called Crystal heart, will be first prize in the compaction and it is going to go up on my mantel, mark my words." Sonic, Shadow and the others just ignored him and continued walking way. As they were walking away from him, Shadow put a hand on Sunset's, shoulder and said. "Don't worry Sunset, remember that's not him talking that's just the spell that the sirens put on him." Sunset, looked at Shadow and said in a hurt voice. "I know but…It's still his voice Shadow." As they walked, tears fell from her eyes. then they saw the sirens now the Dazzling's smile wickedly at the scene. "Tears already? This is only the first round of the compaction." Adagio chuckled. Aria and Sonata laughed at Sunset's expense when Shadow came up to them and said in a very angry voice. "You all will never get away with this, I swear it." just then Celestia's voice was heard through the intercom. "The next band to take the stage will be the Sonic Heroes, then Sunset Shimmer, after her Trixie and the Illusions, and finally the Dazzling's." After hearing their names they moved pasted the Dazzling's. "Come on guys we're next," said Sonic. As they left the Dazzling's sniggered quietly to each other. "Oh wow Adagio, we are winning," said Sonata. "Yes, but we still need to safe the best stuff for last. Now come on I want to see how the Sonic Losers play," said Adagio. With that they started towards the gym. When Sonic, Shadow and the others made it to the gym they saw the five of the main six finishing up their song. (the last part of Shake your Tail from Equestria girls starts to play) [The Rainbooms] We don't know (we don't know) What's gonna happen We just know (we just know) It's gonna feel right All our friends are here And it's time to ignite the lights! As Sonic, Shadow, and the others watched the Rainbooms play, they started to dance but the rest of the students didn't. Shake your tail 'cause we're here to have a party tonight Shake your tail, shake your tail Shake your tail 'cause we're here to have a party tonight Shake your tail, shake your tail "This is really a good song," said Tails, as he grooved to the music. "Yea, no kidding," said Nyx. Shake your tail 'cause we're here to have a party tonight Shake your tail, shake your tail Shake your tail 'cause we're here to have a party tonight! (Song ends) After the song Sonic, Shadow, and the others clapped but when the Rainbooms came down the stage and said to the Sonic Heroes. "Let's see if you guys can beat that," said Rainbow Dash. "Yeah," said Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, and Pinkie pie. After they left Sonic, Shadow, and the others could see that the spell that the Dazzling's put on them was getting worse. ("Don't worry guys, we'll break the spell that the Dazzling's put on you,") Sonic said to himself. "Ok guys, lets do this," said Shadow. When he said that Sonic, Tails, and Nyx nodded and stated towards the stage. As they came up on stage everyone started to boo them which made Nyx nervous. "Sonic? I don't think I can do this," she said. Just then she felt Tails put a hand on her shoulder and said. "Don't worry Nyx, just remember they are just under a spell." Nyx smiled and nodded at Tails. "Ok Tails, start us off," said Shadow. "You got it Shadow," said Tails With that Tails banged his sticks together and said. "One...." "Two...." "Three...." "Four...." (I fought the law by the Clash starts to play) As the music played Sonic started to sing. [Sonic] Breakin' rocks in the hot sun [Sonic and Shadow] I fought the law and the law won [x2] [Sonic] I needed money 'cause I had none [Sonic and Shadow] I fought the law and the law won [x2] I left my baby and it feels so bad Guess my race is run She's the best girl that I ever had I fought the law and the law won I fought the law and the law won Sunset bobbed her head to the beat as Sonic and Shadow sang. Her nervousness melted away and she enjoyed the song with her friends. Then suddenly they all saw everyone including their friends dancing to the beat. [Sonic] Robbin' people with a six-gun [Sonic and Shadow] I fought the law and the law won [x2] [Sonic] I lost my girl and I lost my fun [Sonic and Shadow] I fought the law and the law won [x2] I left my baby and it feels so bad Guess my race is run She's the best girl that I ever had I fought the law and the law won I fought the law and the law won As they continued to play the Dazzling's, saw what was going on. "Adagio? what are we going to do? They are braking our spell over the students," said Aria. "Relax Aria, for as soon they get done with their song we will sing and put them back on our spell," said Adagio. [Sonic and Shadow] I fought the law and the law won I fought the law and the law won I fought the law and the law won I fought the law and the law won I fought the law and the law won I fought the law and the law won I fought the law and the law won I fought the law and the law won (Song ends) As the song ended everyone cheered but then Sonic, Shadow, Sunset, Nyx, and Tails saw the Dazzling's started to hum and then the students went from cheering form being silent. "Aw man, we were so close," said Nyx. "Don't worry Nyx, will get it next time," said Tails. With that they went down the stage and then Trixie and her band came up but not before saying to Sonic Heroes. "Move out of the way peasants and let a pro show you how it is done." Sonic, Shadow and the others rolled their eyes and walked away. As they sat down the Dazzling's came up to them. "What do you clowns want now?" Asked Shadow. "Oh nothing. We just wanted to say, nice try of trying to break our spell over this school but our magic is way more powerful then yours," said Adagio. "Too bad, so sad," said Sonata. With that they left, leaving the Sonic heroes seething in rage. "Man though's girls are really getting on my nerves," said Sonic. "Yeah, mine too Sonic," said Nyx. Just then Trixie and her band started their audition to the battle of the bands competition. > Chapter 7 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sonic and Shadow in Equestria 3 the search for the Crystal Heart. By: Will Atkinson Chapter 7 When Trixie and her band were finished with their song, the Dazzling's prepared for their performance as they stood behind the curtain. "Alright remember, girls. We want to save the good stuff for when our full power has been restored." Adagio instructed as their red amulet's glowed brighter. The curtain opened up and the Dazzling's stepped forward. Their hypnotic singing capturing the attention of everyone around the stage. (Under Our Spell from Equestria Girls Rainbow Rocks, starts to play) [The Dazzling's] Oh-whoa-oh, oh-whoa-oh You didn't know that you fell Oh-whoa-oh, oh-whoa-oh [Adagio] Now that you're under our spell Blindsided by the beat Clapping your hands, stomping your feet You didn't know that you fell [Sonata and Aria] Oh-whoa-oh-oh [Adagio] Now you've fallen under our spell [Sonata and Aria] Oh-whoa-oh-oh-oh As they sang, the rest of the bands competed against one another. Not holding anything back. They were determined to best the other by any means necessary. As Shadow watched the events unfold, he felt even more anger towards the sirens. If he could he would chaos blast them into next week. But he needed to keep his head in the game. [The Dazzling's] We've got the music, makes you move it Got the song that makes you lose it We say "jump", you say "how high?" Put your hands up to the sky Bulk Biceps played his violin and bested Snips and Snails. The two were eliminated We've got the music, makes you move it Got the song that makes you lose it We say "jump", you say "how high?" Put your hands up to the sky Flash Sentry and his band competed against the eco teens, and managed to best them. Sonic, Shadow and the others just shook their heads in discus by their friend.

Once Octavia was eliminated, the Sonic Heroes tried to console her and even say she played beautifully. But the grey skinned girl scoffed and walked away, completely ungrateful to the Sonic Heroes kindness. The sirens' spell was getting powerful now. [The Dazzling's] We've got the music, makes you move it Got the song that makes you lose it We say "jump", you say "how high?" Put your hands up to the sky Next the Sonic Heroes went up agent Trixie and her band and bested them. After that Lyra Heartstrings and Sweetie Drops performed a piano duet but was bested by Sunset Shimmer's singing. But as time went on the other bandmates were arguing with one another while Sunset stood ideally by with worry and despair. Even Shadow was getting tired of all of this. If he didn't know any better, he would say all of the bickering and whining was making him literally ill. Like all of these negative emotions was some kind of poison for his body and sole, and he was right. More and more students began to hate each other. Bickering over who should have been the winner and heading to the finals. All of this hate. All of this anger and resentment. It was like a buffet for the sirens. [The Dazzling's] Oh-whoa-oh, oh-whoa-oh You didn't know that you fell Oh-whoa-oh, oh-whoa-oh Now that you're under our spell Oh-whoa-oh, oh-whoa-oh You didn't know that you fell Oh-whoa-oh, oh-whoa-oh Now that you're under our [Adagio] Spell Muah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!…. (Song ends) Vice Principal Luna had just crossed off another one of the bands on the white board as she arranged the four final bands left. The Rainbooms, the Sonic Heroes, Sunset Shimmer, and the Dazzling's. Flash Sentry wanted to pull his hair out. He and his band lost. Sunset gathered the others together and said. "This is it you guys! All we have to do is to beat the Rainbooms and the Dazzling's and when we do the Crystal Heart will be safe no matter what happens." "She's right you guys! We are just one win away to be in the finales!" Said Sonic. "Yeah, but we don't know who we will be facing," said Tails. Just then Principal Celestia stepped in. "Alright everyone, it is time to know the final four of the battle of the bands. First it will be the Rainbooms and the Sonic Heroes, and then it will be the Dazzling's and Sunset Shimmer." When the Rainbooms, heard that they were going up agent the Sonic Heroes, they came up to their former friends with their eyes glowing green. "You guys think that you can beat us in the final four? Well think again, because we are going to win and go on to the finals," said Rainbow Dash. "That's right you Sonic losers, and that crystal shaped heart will be ours," said Applejack. "Yeah, you big mean meanie pantses," said Pinkie pie. "You guys are not taking our fame from us, we are the best band here and we are going to prove it by beating you four," said Rarity. As for Fluttershy, she didn't say anything but looked at the Sonic Heroes and Sunset, with angry eyes and then left with the others. After the Rainbooms left Shadow, was clinching his fists. "Man, that spell that they are on is really getting on my nerves." Just then Sonic came up to him and tried to calm him down. "Look Shadow, I know it's hard but we need to stay focused." "Sonic's right Shadow, if we give in the Dazzling's win and then their will be no way that we can save Equestria or this world," said Tails. After what Sunset said Shadow started to calm down. "Oh, your right you guys I'm sorry." Just the Nyx thought of something. "Hey you guys?" "Yes, what is it Nyx? Asked Sonic. "Well remember before the Dazzling's put their spell on our friends and the students?" Asked Nyx. "Yeah, we were with them seeing them play so," said Tails. Nyx took a deep breath and said. "Well, when they were singing they transformed into pony versions of them selves. But after the spell when they sing they never transform." After she said that the gangs eyes went wide. "Nyx is right, when we came in for our turn the Rainbooms, never transformed," said Shadow. "But why?" Asked Tails. "It must be that spell," said Sunset. "Yeah, it's got to be," said Sonic. After that the Sonic Heroes and Sunset sat down as their former friends started to play their semifinal song, fearing that if the spell that the Dazzling's put on them can interfere with Equestrian magic who knows what else it could do. (Awesome As I Wanna Be from Equestria Girls Rainbow Rocks starts to play) The Rainbooms; Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Rainbow Dash; Awesome as I wanna be As the Rainbooms played the Sonic Heroes and Sunset just looked on in discus, as they started to show off. [The Rainbooms] Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! [Rainbow Dash] Awesome as I wanna be As the Sonic Heroes and Sunset watched, they saw their friends eyes glow brighter and brighter with the Dazzling's spell. [Rainbow Dash] First you see me riding on a sonic boom Got my guitar shreddin' up my latest tune There is nothin' you can do to beat me I'm so good that you can't defeat me Rainbow began playing beside her friends, showing off as usual. Sonic, who was watching her couldn't help but narrow his eyes in disapproval, while the others watching the Rainbooms just shook their heads. [Rainbow and the Rainbooms] Yeah, I'm awesome, take caution Watch out for me, I'm awesome as I wanna be (Yeah!) I'm awesome, take caution Watch out for me, I'm awesome as I wanna be Finally The Sonic Heroes and Sunset couldn't take it any more so they covered their ears. [The Rainbooms] Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

I'm awesome, take caution Watch out for me, I'm awesome as I wanna be! (Song ends) After the song was over The Rainbooms cheered but no one else including The Sonic Heroes and Sunset cheered. Then Celestia said. "Alright, Sonic Heroes? Your up." With that Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Nyx got up and started towards the stage. As they were passing the Rainbooms, Fluttershy said in a sly tone. "Good luck Sonic Heroes, we will be routing for you." But before Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Nyx could say anything Rainbow cut in and said in a harsh voice. "Not." With that the Rainbooms laughed and went to sit down leaving the Sonic Heroes with angry looks in their eyes. As they were getting set up Shadow, looked at Sonic, and said. "Sonic? I don't know how long I can keep this up." "Don't worry Shadow, after tonight everything will be ok," said Sonic. As they got done setting their instruments up Celestia asked. "Ok Sonic Heroes what is the name of your song that you are going to do for us?" Sonic smiled and said to her. "Our next song is called Sonic Heroes." When he said that everyone started to laugh making the Sonic Heroes cross at them. "Sonic Heroes? That's a laugh," said a student. "Yeah, which one of you losers thought of that song huh?" Asked another. On and on it went until Celestia calmed everyone down and said. "Ok Sonic Heroes, when ever your ready." With that Tails banged his sticks and they started to play. (Sonic Heroes from Sonic Heroes starts to play) As Tails, Nyx, Sonic, and Shadow began playing their instruments, the Rainbooms slowly went behind the stage to try to sabotage the Sonic Heroes' song as Sonic began sining. [Sonic] What goes up must come down Yet my feet don't touch the ground See the world spin upside down A mighty crash without a sound I can feel your every rage Step aside I'll turn the page Breakin' thru your crazy maze Like a laser beam my eyes on you [Sonic and Shadow] Watch me rule the night away Watch me save the day Feel my storm its getting close Headed your way Sonic Heroes (Sonic Heroes) Bind you, confine you, defying your reign Sonic Heroes (Sonic Heroes) Setting the stage for a heroes parade As they were playing the Rainbooms got into position to sabotage the Sonic Heroes but out of the corner of his eye Shadow saw what they were trying to do. So he quietly shot a power beam out of his finger and it connected to Rainbow Dash's stomach which pushed the Rainbooms off the stage and it knocked them out cold. [Sonic] I won't even hesitate A second left to alter fate And you try to strike but a bit too late I got you hooked by my own bait [Sonic and Shadow] Watch me rule the night away Watch me save the day Feel my storm its getting close Headed your way Sonic Heroes (Sonic Heroes) Bind you, confine you, defying your reign Sonic Heroes (Sonic Heroes) Setting the stage for a heroes parade With the Rainbooms out of the way the Sonic Heroes saw that the spell was starting to break again but the Dazzling's knew this as well. [Sonic] You can get there ain't no doubt, As the words spill from the mouth... Of a hero... I can chase another day. Fight you all the way, Like a hero... [Sonic and Shadow] And together we stand strong no matter how, [Sonic] No one can bring us down! Then everybody stated to dance and cheer to the music just like before. [Sonic] HEEEEEYYYYY!! Then everybody stated to sing with them. [Sonic and Shadow] Sonic Heroes! Sonic Heroes! Bind you, confine you, defying your reign! Sonic Heroes! Sonic Heroes! Setting the stage for a heroes parade! [Sonic] Sonic...Heroes! [Shadow] Heroes! Heroes! [Sonic] Sonic...Heroes! [Shadow] Heroes! Heroes! [Sonic and Shadow] Give us a reason and we're on our waaaaaay!!! (Song ends) After the song everybody cheered but before the Sonic Heroes could celebrate the Dazzling's once again sang a little tune to put all of the students back under their spell. "Aw man, not again," said Tails. Just then Sunset came up and said. "Don't worry Tails, after that performance you guys are sure to be in the finales and that means all I have to do is to sing better then the sirens, and then it will just be a friendly compaction." "Sunset is right Tails, if she beats the sirens then it will just be a friendly compaction and we don't have to worry about the sirens anymore," said Sonic. Just then Celestia came on stage and said. "That was good, all right now next up is the Dazzling's." As the Sonic Heroes started to leave the stage Shadow, came up to the Rainbooms, who were starting to get up from that beam of energy and said in a quiet but a very stern voice. "That is what you get for trying to cheat." After that he walked off leaving the Rainbooms in shock. As soon as Shadow, left the stage the Dazzling's came up. "Alright girls it's almost time to put our plain into action," said Adagio. Aria and Sonata laughed quietly as they began their song. (I'm gonna put a spell on you from Scooby Doo and the witch's ghost starts to play) As the Dazzling's sang their amulets started to glow. [Adagio] I'm gonna cast a spell on you Your gonna do what I want you to Mix it up here in my little bowl Say a few words and you'll lose control [The Dazzling's] I'm a hex girl And I'm gonna put a spell on you [Aria and Sonata] (I'm gonna put a spell on you) [The Dazzling's] I'm a hex girl And I'm gonna put a spell on you [Aria and Sonata] (put a spell on you) As the Dazzling's sang, the Sonic Heroes and Sunset could see that the students were cheering meaning that the sirens were getting stronger and stronger. [Adagio] You'll feel the fog as I cloud your mind You'll get dizzy when I make this sign You'll wake up in the dead of night Missing me when I'm out of sight [The Dazzling's] I'm a hex girl And I'm gonna put a spell on you [Aria and Sonata] (I'm gonna put a spell on you) [The Dazzling's] I'm a hex girl And I'm gonna put a spell on you [Aria and Sonata] (oh yeah) Just then Sunset and the Sonic Heroes saw the sirens eyes turn red. [Adagio] With this little cobweb potion You'll fall into dark devotion If you ever lose affection I can change your whole direction [The Dazzling's] I'm a hex girl And I'm gonna put spell on you [Aria and Sonata] (I'm gonna put a spell on you) [The Dazzling's] I'm a hex girl And I'm gonna put a spell on you We're gonna put a spell on all of you (Song ends) When the song ended everyone except for the Sonic Heroes and Sunset cheered and then to their horror they saw that every student had red glowing eyes, even Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna had red glowing eyes meaning that the spell that they were on was getting even worse. "Aw man their spell is getting worse," said Tails. "I know tails, this is bad," said Sonic. Seeing this made Sunset nervous. "I....I'm not sure if I can win agents them now." "Don't worry Sunset, we know that you can do it," said Shadow, as he put a hand on Sunset's shoulder. "Yeah Sunset, I'm sure you'll do fine and will be cheering for you," said Nyx. Sunset, looked at Nyx and smiled then they heard Celestia say. "Next up is Sunset Shimmer." After her name was called Sunset, got up and started to walk to the stage with everybody excepted for the Sonic Heroes booing her. When she was on stage she started her song. (Game Over from Spy Kids 3 Game Over starts to play) As the song played the Dazzling's carried out their plain of framing Sunset of cheating. [Sunset] The time has come Once and for all You met your match You will fall This little game we play is gonna break us down Only one of us can wear the crown It's not as easy as you thought it'd be When it's down to you versus me I play rough I don't need to try You'd like to play me But the score never lies Game over Game over Game over For now As the Sonic Heroes looked on they had smiles their faces thinking that Sunset could do it. [Sunset] Winning the game's The only rule around No more good luck Or cheers from the crowd When the game began you never thought you'd lose But your time is up I play to bruise You look around and find you've lost your team You tried your best but you ran out of steam I play rough I don't need to try You'd like to play me But the score never lies You're all out of wishes Kiss your dreams goodbye The end's the same It's not whether you win or lose, it's How you play the game Game over Game over Game over For now "Oh wow you guys Sunset, mite just win," said Nyx. "Of course she's going to win Nyx, I knew that when she started singing that she was going to win," said Shadow. Is that all you got? Come on! Uh, uh! Bring it on! Game over Game over Game over For now Game over (Song ends) After the song ended The Sonic Heroes came up on the stage and congratulated Sunset, for her preformats as for the other students they just rolled their eyes. Just then Celestia came up on stage and said. "That was good Sunset, now it's time for me to announce the winners that will be going to the finales." With that the Dazzling's and the Rainbooms joined the Sonic Heroes and Sunset, on stage as Celestia announced the winners. "Now then, the winners and going to the battle of the bands finales are the Sonic Heroes and Sunset Shimmer." When the Sonic heroes and Sunset, heard that they were in the finales they cheered and hugged one another much to the dismay of the Rainbooms but not the Dazzling's. For as the Sonic Heroes and Sunset, were celebrating that they were going to the finales the Dazzling came up to Celestia. "Excuse us Celestia, but we found this while we were coming up on stage," said Adagio, as she handed her a tape recorder. When Celestia, took the tape recorder out of Adagio's hands she pushed play, when she did it was a recording of Sunset singing. When she got finished listening to the recording Celestia looked at Sunset and asked. "Sunset Shimmer? What is the meaning of this?" Sunset looked at the recorder and asked in a shocked voice. "What? you think that I cheated?" "Yes we do Miss. Shimmer," said Luna, as she came up to the stage. When Sonic, Shadow, Nyx, and Tails hear this they where shocked. "But Sunset, would never cheat," said Sonic. "That's right, Sunset has played fair thought out this compaction," said Shadow. But Celestia and Luna's eyes glowed green and then Celestia said. "That maybe but this recorder tells me other wise," said Celestia. "Yes, so we're sorry Sunset, but your disqualified and the Dazzling's are going to the finales with the Sonic Heroes," said Luna. After that the students started pointing fingers at Sunset and they said to her. (Applebloom, Sweetie Bell, and Scootaloo) "Sunset is a cheater." (Flash Sentry) "We shouldn't have given her a chance to change." (Octavia) "We should have known that you would pull a stunt like this Sunset." And on it went until the Rainbooms said something that really hurt Sunset. "You are no friend of ours." After that Sunset, ran out of the of the gym. "Sunset, please wait," said Shadow, as he ran after her. When Shadow, left the rest of the Sonic Heroes looked at the Dazzling's, who were smiling evilly. "Well, it looks like they struck again you guys," said Sonic. "I know what a rotten trick they just did to Sunset," said Nyx. "I can't believe they could do such a thing," said Tails. (Sad Piano (Live Before War) by Kenji Kawai starts to play) Meanwhile Shadow, found Sunset, curled up near the statue where the portal to Equestria was at crying her heart out. "Sunset? Are you alright?" He asked. When Sunset heard Shadow's voice she looked up at him and said. "No Shadow, I'm not alright. Just look at me, what they said is true I will never change. I'm just the girl that they will always be known as the girl who almost took over the school." As Sunset continued to cry Shadow, sat down with her and hold her in his arms. "Shhhh, it's alright Sunset, just let it all out," he said to her, as she cried in his chest. "Why Shadow? Why are you showing me forgiveness?" Sunset asked. Shadow looked at Sunset and smiled. "Because Sunset, everybody deserves forgiveness if they want it, and you have done so much to forget your past mistakes so that makes you deserve forgiveness form me." Sunset looked into Shadow's eyes and smiled. "Oh and their is one more thing," said Shadow. "And what would that be Shadow?" Asked Sunset. Shadow took Sunset's hand and then he started to sing. (Music ends and Even then from Legends Of Oz: Dorothy Returns starts to play) [Shadow] Never told you But I meant to Before I could begin Even then I loved you even then When Sunset, heard that she smiled at Shadow with tears in her eyes. [Shadow] See my heart is Scared of places That its never been But even then I loved you even then If my voice should Start to tremble If I am shaking I love you now Like I loved you Even then And then Sunset, started to sing. [Sunset] Even if its uphill now [Shadow] See my heart is Scared of places [Sunset] Even when I Can't say how [Shadow] That its never been [Sunset] Even when [Shadow and Sunset] My heart wont stop pounding Even then Even then [Sunset] I'll keep on Even then [Shadow] I loved you Even then Unknown to them Sonic, Tails, and Nyx were watching them with smiles on their faces. [Shadow and Sunset] Even if its uphill now Even when there no Wards how When my heart pounds This loud even then [Sunset] If I left you I never meant to And I wont pretend Even then I loved you even then [Shadow and Sunset] If I trust you How to show you Let me try again I love you even now Like I loved you Even then Even then Even then (Song ends) After the song ended Sunset, lend next to Shadow, and then kissed him on the lips. As she kissed him Shadow's eyes went wide but soon he closed his eyes and returned the kiss. As they were kissing Sonic, Tails, and Nyx looked on in surprise as they saw Shadow and Sunset kissing. "Oh wow Sonic, they're kissing," said Nyx. "Yeah Nyx, it looks like Shadow, has finally found his special someone," said Sonic. Just then Shadow and Sunset, broke their kiss and saw Sonic, Tails, and Nyx starting to clap at them. "That was awesome you guys," said Tails. "Yeah, even that kiss at the end," said Sonic. After Sonic, said that Shadow and Sunset blushed deep red just then Nyx came up to Sunset. "So Sunset, are you ok?" She asked. Sunset smiled at Nyx, and said wiping the tears from his eyes. "Yes Nyx, I'm fine now." "I still can't believe that the Dazzling's would go and pull a stunt like that," said Sonic. "Its alright Sonic, but I know that you, Shadow, Tails, and Nyx can beat them," said Sunset. Just then they heard laughing behind them and when they looked they saw the Dazzling's. "Aw man, not you three again," said Shadow. "Why what wrong? I thought you guys would be pleased to see your opponents for the battle of the bands finales," said Adagio. "Your not our opponents you cheaters," said Sonic. Just then the Dazzling's pretended to cry and then Aria said. "Oh girls he's right, we did cheat oh maybe we should forfeit." "Your right Aria, but if we do that then we would tell Celestia that we were threaten by the Sonic Heroes, and then they would be disqualified and then we would win anyway," said Adagio. When Sonic, Shadow, and the others heard that they looked at the Dazzling's with anger in their eyes and as for the Dazzling's they started to laugh and then Sonata asked. "You wouldn't want that now would you?" Sonic, Shadow, Tails, Nyx, and Sunset didn't say anything but just looked at the Dazzling's with anger in their eyes. "Come on girls we need some sleep if we're going to beat those losers tomorrow," said Adagio. With that the Dazzling's left but not before Sonata said one more thing to the Sonic Heroes and to Sunset. "So long losers." "Man I can't wait until tomorrow to beat those girls," said Tails. "I agree one hundred percent Tails," said Sonic. With that they left to go home to get ready for the finales tomorrow. But inside of Nyx's mine Chaos Phantom heard the whole thing. "This is going to be fun, if the Dazzling's lose I have a back up plain in this Nyx girl, and if they win then well I win anyway and soon that Crystal Heart will be mine all mine and then me and my queen will rule all. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!" > Chapter 8 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sonic and Shadow in Equestria 3 The Search For The Crystal Heart By: Will Atkinson Chapter 8 As dawn broke Shadow, slowly opened his eyes and looked to see that Sunset was not in bed. So he got up and looked for her which he found her sitting in the kitchen looking out the window. "Good morning Sunset," he said. When Sunset, heard Shadow's voice she turned around and said. "And a good morning to you too Shadow." "So what are you doing?" Asked Shadow. Sunset, looked out of the window and looked back at Shadow. "Oh I was just thinking Shadow." "Thinking of what Sunset?" "Thinking of what's going to happen if the Dazzling's win this battle of the bands compaction." When Shadow, heard this he sat down with Sunset, and said. "Sunset, don't say stuff like that. I promise you that Sonic, myself, Tails, and Nyx will win this compaction and when we do those Dazzling's will never know what hit them." Sunset, smiled at Shadow and then she kissed him on the lips. No sooner as she did that then they heard three familiar voices saying. "Awwwwwww." When Shadow and Sunset, looked they saw Sonic, Tails, and Nyx were making kissy faces and then Sonic said in a voice that sounded like Shadow. "Oh Sunset, don't worry because Shadow is here to be with you forever and ever." Then Nyx came up to Sonic and said in a voice to sound like Sunset. "Oh Shadow, I love you so much that I will never leave your side." After that they pretended to kiss one another that made Tails, laugh uncontrollably and it also made Sunset and Shadow blush bright red. This went on and on until Shadow and Sunset, came up to Sonic and Nyx, and hit them on top of their heads. "Ouch, what was that for?" Sonic and Nyx, asked. "That was for making fun of us," said Sunset. "Yeah, and in case if you guys forgot after we get done with the battle of the bands we will be going home," said Shadow. As soon as he said that Shadow, closed his mouth and looked at Sunset. As he did he could see a small tear coming out of Sunset's eye. "Oh Sunset, I'm so sorry I've shouldn't have said that," Shadow said. Sunset, looked at Shadow, and said. "No, its alright Shadow." Just then Tails broke the silence. "Well guys, we better get a move on if we are going to get to the stadium on time." "Tails is right you guys, so lets go and to the stadium before they role our absence as a forfeit," said Sonic. So with that Sonic, Shadow, Tails, Nyx, and Sunset set off to the stadium where the finales of the battle of the bands was being held at. But then Tails remembered about the chaos emeralds, so he went back to the house and got the emeralds. with that he, Sonic, Shadow, Nyx, and Sunset went to the stadium. Once they made it Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Nyx were readying their instruments, after they did that Sonic was thinking of a good song that could destroy the spell that the Dazzling's had on their friends and the students. "So Sonic, did you think of a good song yet?" Asked Shadow. "No Shadow, I have not. The only song I could think of is the song that we haven't practiced," said Sonic. "Well keep trying Sonic," said Shadow. As Sonic, continued to think of a song for them to sing Sunset came up to Sonic and Shadow, and said. "Hey guys where is Nyx? Because I saw her readying her piano but then she left." "Oh she went to go to the bathroom," said Tails. Sunset, shook her head in understanding just then they saw the Rainbooms coming towards them. "Oh great, what are you guys doing here?" Asked Shadow. "Yeah, you guys are suppose to be up there," said Sonic, as he pointed to the stands. The Rainbooms looked at one another until Rainbow said. "Oh don't worry, we're just here to take your guys' spot in the finales." Just as soon as Rainbow Dash said that Applejack, pulled a lever and a stage door opened up from underneath Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Sunset causing them all to scream as they fell. The Rainbooms laughed wickedly as the stage door closed shut, leaving Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Sunset trapped inside. "See you never!" With that the Rainbooms left the stage, meanwhile the Dazzling's witnessed the whole thing. "I told you someone would give them a shove." Adagio chuckled. "But the Rainbooms didn't shove them. They just pulled a lever," said Sonata. Aria groaned and said to Sonata. "Go back to sleep Sonata." Adagio face palmed herself, until she saw another member of the Sonic Heroes approaching the stage. But instead of getting angry, Adagio smirked. "This should be fun," she said. As Nyx made it to the stage she saw that Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Sunset were not there. "Hmm, maybe they went to get something to drink," she thought. But just then from down bellow her feet, Nyx heard the sounds of her friends, crying out for help. She could even hear what sounded like Shadow and Sonic, trying to break them free with their powers. "Hey Guys, are you alright down there?" Nyx asked. When they heard Nyx's voice Tails shouted up to her. "Yes we are, the Rainbooms put us down here." "Take it easy you guys, I'll get you out in a sec," said Nyx, as she tried to find a way to get them out. Then she saw a leaver that the Rainbooms used to trap her friends. As Nyx, began using her strength to pull on the leaver to get her friends out a voice interrupted her. "I wouldn't do that, if I were you." As Nyx, looked behind her she was face to face, once again with the Sirens. Nyx stepped away from the lever for a short moment and glared at her foes. "Who's going to stop me?" She said bravely. Adagio maintained her wicked smile as she spoke to the once Nightmare Moon. "No need for anymore games. We know exactly what you are. How you came into this world is of no concern to us, however." Nyx was not about to take this. "If you know what I am, then you know what I am capable of." "I think the better question is, do you know what we are capable of?" That was it, Nyx no longer cared if she got in trouble for this or not. This monster needed to be taught a lesson. Nyx leaped forward, her hand clenched into a fist as she hurled it at Adagio. However, Adagio managed to dodge the attack and before Nyx could charge again Aria and Sonata grabbed her and put her up agented the stadium wall. "Hey, let me go," Nyx said, as she struggled to get free but to no avail. Adagio chuckled and then she walked towards Nyx and said in a sly voice into Nyx's ear. "I'm afraid we can't do that. For you see we can't allow you and your friends win the Crystal Heart." Suddenly, it became clear to Nyx. The Principals disqualifying Sunset, the Crystal Heart, the Rainbooms. "You…You planed this all along. You wanted us to get into the finals! So you could have the Rainbooms to take our place so you could beat them and take the Crystal Heart to take over equestria. "Oh, smarter than she looks" Adagio taunted, as she placed he hand on Nyx's cheek and let it slid down to her chin. Just then Nyx spit on Adagio's face and said. "You'll never get away with this you sirens." As Adagio got done wiping her face off she grabbed Nyx by the throat and said with clinched teeth. "Oh we will get away with it and nobody will stop us." With that Adagio, knocked Nyx out and then said to Aria and Sonata. "Take her to the school and lock her in the closet." Aria and Sonata nodded and said. "Ok Adagio." After that Aria and Sonata took the unconscious Nyx to the school not knowing that someone was watching them from the shadows. As the Principals got to where the finales where going to be haled at Adagio, told them that the Sonic Heroes had forfeit from the competition, and the Rainbooms wanted to take their place, and they wanted to turn it into a real battle of the bands. The Principals agreed so that evening, the Dazzling's were on stage and the Rainbooms were on a hill top just a cross from the stage waiting for the Dazzling's to start. Meanwhile Nyx got out of her unconscious stat and starting banging on the closet door screaming for help, just then the door opened up and their standing there was a teenage girl with dark and light blue hair, glasses, a white shirt, pink pants with lightning bolts on them, a white skirt with a musical note on it, and on her feet were white purple and blue shoes with light blue stars on the tongue of her shoes. Nyx knew just who the girl was. "Vinyl," she said happily. "Boy, I'm glad to see you." The girl DJ smiled and put her thumb up, meanwhile underneath the stage. Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Sunset were already exhausted from being trapped, and had lost all hope of being found. Tails laid on the ground on her back while Sunset just stood there watching Shadow continuing to try to break the door down with his powers. "Give it up Shadow, you have been at it for hours. Its not gonna open," said Sonic. Shadow stopped and looked at Sonic. "Well we've got to do something Sonic, they are going to start any minute now," he said. "I know Shadow, but we've tried everything, and nothing worked to open the door so please give it up." Shadow just couldn't believe what he was hearing Sonic the Hedgehog, giving up already? "I can't believe what I'm hearing out of you Sonic. You giving up just like that, what about the Rainbow Dash back in Equestria?" When Sonic heard that he looked up at Shadow as he continued to speck to him. "What would she think of you now if see saw you giving up like this?" Sonic didn't say anything, he just looked at Shadow as he continued scolding him. "She would be discussed by you Sonic, the one who saved her from Mephiles, and from near death by Discord? Well let me tell you something Sonic the hedgehog, she cares the world about you and you care about her. But if you don't try and help me the that means the Dazzling's win, and we lose and if we lose then everybody we care about in Equestria and in Canterlot High will be no more." After Shadow, was done Sonic got up and said to him. "I love Rainbow, Shadow and I love our friends back in Equestria, so I be damned if anything happens to them." After hearing that, Shadow smiled and said. "Then let's get out of here." Meanwhile on stage Celestia gave the ok to the Dazzling's to sing. [The Dazzling's] Aaaaahhhh Ah, ah, aaaaaaaahhhhhhh Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah Ah, ah, ah Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah Ah, ah, ah As the Dazzling's sang, Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Sunset hared them and looked up. "Oh man it's already starting," said Tails. "Yeah, we need to hurry," said Sunset. So they continued to bang on the door to try to break it but it was no use. But just then the door opened and there was Nyx standing in the door way smiling. "Nyx," Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Sunset said happily, as they embraced Nyx in a tight hug. "I'm sorry I took so long you guys, but the sirens locked me in a closet and I was in their until a friend got me out." Nyx then pointed a finger towered the door and when she did Vinyl appeared behind it. "She's the only one who wasn't under the sirens' spell and helped me to find you guys." "But why wasn't she under their spell?" Asked Sonic. Nyx smiled at Sonic, and said. "Easy, she never takes off her head phones." After she said that, Vinyl gave them a thumbs up. Nyx was surprised by another hug from Sunset Shimmer. "I'm so glad you're okay!" She said to Nyx. "It's good to see you too Sunset. So what did I miss." Sonic put a proud hand on Shadow's shoulder and said. "I almost gave up on myself until Shadow here opened my eyes." Nyx smirked and said. "Wow, maybe you guys should get trapped more often." Then everybody laughed until Shadow said. "Well come on guys, lets show thoughts sirens who's boss." "Yeah, let's do it," they all cheered. As they head out of underneath the stage Shadow saw Sunset still standing inside underneath the stage. "Hey Sunset?" Shadow asked. "Yes Shadow?" Sunset asked. "Would you like to be part of our band?" When Sunset, hard that she looked up at Shadow. "Really? You want me to be in the band?" She asked. Shadow smiled and then nodded, after that Sunset, smiled and hugged him as Shadow gave her a nice shinning guitar. With that hey left to join the others. "Alright guys, let's do it," said Sonic. "But Sonic, what are we going to sing?" Asked Tails. Sonic thought for a minute and said. "We are going to do that song," said Sonic. "You mean that song we hardly practiced?" Asked Shadow. Sonic nodded. "Its the only one I could think of, unless you guys have a better plain." Just then Sunset spoke up. "I say, lets do the song." "I agree with Sunset," said Shadow. "Me too," said Nyx. They all looked at Tails who nodded, and with that they set off to stop the sirens once and for all. Meanwhile on stage, The Dazzling's continued their vocalizing while the students all watched the performance. This was the sirens' time to shine. And their time to rule. (Welcome to the show from Equestria girls Rainbow Rocks starts to play) [Adagio] Welcome to the show We're here to let you know Our time is now [The Dazzling's] Your time is running out From above a hilltop, overlooking the stage and audience, the Rainbooms were waiting for the signal to sing. Unknown to them the Sonic Heroes were waiting at the bottom of the hill. "So what are we waiting for Sonic?" Asked Shadow. Sonic looked at Shadow, and said. "Well of what Nyx told us, the sirens are going to use they're Equestrian magic and since the Rainbooms are under their spell they're powers are not going to work and they will be sitting ducks. When the sirens are too much for them that is when we make our move." Just then Nyx looked and asked. "Hey, where's Vinyl?" As soon as she said that, she heard honking noises and saw Vinyl arrive in her white car, and was heading up to the Rainbooms. When the Rainbooms saw Vinyl, they had some strong words to say to her but when they told her to get lost Vinyl pushed a button on her car and then it turned into a portable DJ station, complete with speakers. Be hide the mountain the Sonic heroes looked it aw as they saw Vinyl's car change into a DJ station even the Rainbooms liked it and thought with Vinyl's help they would win the battle of the bands. Down bellow, the sirens' spell began taking full effect. Soon, all of the students; eyes gained a hazed and unresponsive looks as they fell deep under the sirens' musical spell. With this, their amulets glowed brighter. [The Dazzling's] Feel the wave of sound As it crashes down You can't turn away We'll make you wanna stay Suddenly the three were lifted up into the air as red sparkling swirls emitted from the gems, entrapping them in a magical aura as their hair grew longer, resembling tails and pony ears grew on their heads. But, unlike Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy, their wings were not feathery, but translucent and shaped in the form of bat wings. Adagio's were purple, Aria's were light aqua green while Sonata's were pale pink. They had gained their own warped anthro forms by absorbing the magic from the Rainbooms. [The Dazzling's] We will be adored Tell us that you want us We won't be ignored It's time for our reward Now you need us Come and heed us Nothing can stop us now Suddenly, the sirens stopped singing and winced when drums were heard from afar, but loud enough for them to hear. Aria pointed forward and Adagio saw the Rainbooms singing loudly and beautifully. They then knew it was they're turn to sing. [The Rainbooms] Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh I've got the music in me Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh [Rainbow Dash] Don't need to hear a crowd Cheering out my name I didn't come here seeking Infamy or fame As the girls sang, the students started the cheer and started chanting battle of the bands over and over again. [The Rainbooms] The one and only thing That I am here to bring Is music, is the music Is the music in my soul As their music grew louder, their magic grew stronger. Just then their eyes glowed bright red. [The Rainbooms] Gonna break out (Out!) Set myself free, yeah Let it all go (Go!) Just let it be, yeah Find the music in your heart Let the music make you start To set yourself apart [Adagio Dazzle] "So are plain is working perfectly, but unfortunately it's time to end this little game of ours." [The Dazzling's] What we have in store All we want and more We will break on through Now it's time to finish you! Suddenly the amulets glowed brightly and so did Adagio's eyes, glowing bright bloody red. The same trait was shared with Aria and Sonata. Their powers increased and from their gems, they created astral projections of their true siren forms. Adagio's was yellow, Aria's purple and Sonata's was blue. The Rainbooms were not expecting this. The horrifying creatures came flying towards them, circling them like sharks. Just then the creatures opened their mouths, unleashing a powerful vocal attack, witch made the Rainbooms slide off the mountain. The Sonic Heroes and Sunset, looked on in horror as the Rainbooms were knocked off the hill excepted for Vinyl who was still up on her DJ station. (Music ends) "Come on guys, that's the signal to go up their and rock," said Sonic. With that, they set off up the hill to get ready to stop the Dazzling's once and for all. Back on stage the Dazzling's laughed and cheered. "Alright,we did it," cheered Adagio. "Yes, the Crystal Heart is ours now," said Aria. "And the best thing of it all is that nobody can stop us now," said Sonata. As they laughed and cheered they heard a voice up on the hill the Rainbooms use to be on. "Hey, Dazzling's!!!!" When the Dazzling's heard that voice they stopped laughing and cheering and looked at the hill where the Rainbooms use to be at. Only this time they saw the Sonic Heroes and Sunset up on the hill with their instruments ready to play. "Well, well, well girls if it isn't the Sonic losers," said Adagio. When the Sonic Heroes and Sunset, heard that they glared at the Dazzling's, then Shadow said. "That's right, and we're going to stop you three once and for all." "Ha, if you guys think that you can stop us then try," said Aria. "Yeah," said Sonata. With that Sonic turned to Tails, and said. "Alright Tails, start us off buddy." After Sonic said that Tails, hit his drum sticks and started counting. "One...." "Two...." "Three...." "Four...." (Reach the goal starts to play) When Tails, finished his count Nyx started to play her piano. Then after a few seconds Tails started to hit his drums followed by Sonic, Shadow, and Sunset playing their guitars and then after a few seconds Sonic started to sing. [Sonic] A broken path is in front of me But still I carry on A path of smoke is what I will leave behind You better catch me Before I'm gone As the Sonic Heroes sang, the students could felt themselves breaking free from the sirens' hold on them. As their spirits were being lifted by the rock of the Sonic Heroes' music. [Sonic] The noises drown as I blast Through the wind That guides me as I go.... This is what I do And this is who I am It's time to rock and roll!!!! As their music grew louder, their magic grew stronger. [Sonic] But the path is long As it twist and bends And I cannot see my goal But I see a golden glint At the end And it calls my very soul.... Vinyl then turned up the volume as she did the speakers increased the music as Sonic and Shadow started to sing together. [Sonic and Shadow] So I'll run ahead at Super Sonic speed My very self is Who I'll lead I'll never give up I'll find a way through As I'll try to follow and Pursue what's true The sirens sneered at this. There was no way they could win. But they underestimated the Sonic Heroes as they continued to play. [Sonic] The world around me Just speeds by my eyes As I follow this wind with speed I'll never let myself be misled by lies As I follow under it's lead But the storms in the sky Try to darken the light And I cannot see my goal But a golden glint On the road's in my sight And it calls my very soul.... The siren projections were not going to take this, and so they hurled towards the Sonic Heroes, Adagio's siren's mouth was wide open, ready to attack them. [Sonic and Shadow] So I'll run ahead and go with All my speed My very self is who I'll lead I'll never turn back There's nothing to fear Cause the end of this Road is very near Suddenly when the projections of the sirens got close to the Sonic Heroes a shield appeared around them blocking the projections of the sirens in their tracks. [Sonic and Shadow] I'll run ahead at Super sonic speed my very self is who I'll lead I'll never give up I'll find a way through And I'll make it to the end And start anew Just then the chaos emeralds started to shine brightly in Sonic and Shadow's pockets and then they roused up and circled around the Sonic Heroes. After that Sonic and Shadow, transformed into their superformes but that was not all for Tails, Nyx, Sunset, and Vinyl also absorbed the emeralds powers as well and they turned into superformes of them selves also. When they turned into superformes of them selves Sunset, Nyx, and Vinyl were shocked to find out that they had golden hair and their cloths were golden as well, as for the sirens, they were shocked at what they were seeing. [Sonic and Shadow] I'll blast through this world With all my speed There's nothing in this world That will stop my feet I'll dash though it all I'll roll and won't crawl Though the road is shattered I will never fall Just then everyone all around was singing to the Sonic Heroes' music, which meant that the spell that the sirens put on them had finally broke completely. [Sonic and Shadow] I'll run ahead at Super Sonic speed My very self Is who I'll lead Through the old and the new I'll always stay true As the same old me will Still be blue The Dazzling's looked up in fear as they saw lights in the sky, suddenly the lights turned into projections of Sonic and Shadow, as hedgehogs. Just then the projections of Sonic and Shadow, raised up their hands and unleashed a powerful ray of pure light onto the siren projections, which were far smaller then the projections of Sonic and Shadow, and then they broke apart, disappearing entirely. After that the light then hit the Dazzling's in a blinding flash of bright light, then the energy from the light knocked the Dazzling's backwards and they hit the back of the stage meaning that they had just lost the battle of the bands to the Sonic Heroes. [Sonic and Shadow] It's in my heart It's in my soul And I'll give my all To reach the goal (Song ends) > Chapter 9 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sonic and Shadow in Equestria 3 The Search For The Crystal Heart By: Will Atkinson Chapter 9 After the light dimed the projections of Sonic and Shadow as hedgehogs disappeared and Sonic, Shadow, Tails, Nyx, Sunset, and Vinyl's superformes disappeared as well. Everybody looked up on the hilltop and cheered for that Sonic Heroes, even the Rainbooms cheered them when they got up from being blasted off of the hill by the sirens. "That was awesome," cheered Rainbow Dash. "Yes, you guys did great," said Rarity. "That was the best song I've ever heard," said Fluttershy. "HURRAY FOR THE SONIC HEROES!!!! cheered Pinkie pie. "Yes, way to go partners," said Applejack. After getting a congratulations form their friends Sonic, Shadow, Tails, Nyx, and Sunset looked at their friends and smiled. "We're just glad that you guys are not under the sirens control anymore," said Sonic. "Yeah, because it was kind of scary to see you guys turned agent us," said Nyx. When the five of the mane six heard this they had their heads down. "Hey come on you guys, don't look so down," said Tails. "Yeah, it wasn't your guys fault it was the sirens' magic that turned you agent us," said Sunset. "And speaking of the sirens, I think it's time that we see how they got their magic," said Shadow. With that the Sonic Heroes and the Rainbooms went down the hill, past the cheering students, and finally up on the stage where the Dazzling's were starting to regain conciseness. When they did they saw the Sonic Heroes, the Rainbooms and even the Principals looking at them with anger in their eyes. "Uh-oh Adagio, I think we're in trouble," said Sonata. "Oh you three are in more trouble then you think," said Celestia. Then she turned to the Sonic Heroes and said. "Sonic Heroes? You have won the battle of the bands and saved us all from these three trouble makers, so there for I present to you the crystal shaped heart." Then she handed the Crystal Heart to Sonic. "Alright, the Crystal Heart is in the hands of good again," said Tails. "Yes and now we can deal with these three," said Shadow. "Right Shadow, but first Nyx here hold on to the Crystal Heart," said Sonic, as he handed Nyx the Crystal Heart. After He handed Nyx, the Crystal Heart he turned back to the sirens and said. "Alright you three tell us how did you get your powers back." "Ha, if you think we are going to tell you that, then your crazy," said Adagio. Just then Luna came up to them and looked at them and said in a loud voice that made them close their ears. "TELL US NOW!!!!" Before any of the three sirens could speak a voice rang out behind the Rainbooms, the Sonic Heroes and the Principals. "It was me." (Danger from Mario and Luigi super saga starts to play) Suddenly a powerful gust of wind blasted them except for the sirens off of the stage. "Is every one alright?" Asked Tails. "I'm alright," said Sunset. "We're fine too," said Luna and Celestia. Everyone else nodded as they slowly got up. "Oh man, what in the world was that anyway?" Asked Sonic, as he rubbed his head. "I don't know Sonic, but what ever it was I don't think we are going to like it," said Shadow. "Um guys?" Asked Fluttershy. As everyone looked at her, she had expression of shock on her face. "Fluttershy? Are you alright?" Asked Rainbow. Fluttershy didn't say anything, she just pointed up on the stage. As everyone looked they saw Nyx, with her hand out with an evil smile on her face. "Nyx? What are you doing darling?" Rarity asked. Then Applejack spoke up "Did you make that wind sugarcube?" She asked. Nyx looked at Applejack and said. "Yes Applejack, it was me." Then she looked at Rarity, but this time she spoke in a demonic voice. "And what I'm doing Rarity, is taking over this world and then after that Equestria." When Nyx said that in a demonic voice Sonic, Shadow, Tails, the five of the mane six, the Principles, and even the students couldn't believe what they just heard. "Um Nyx? Why did your voice change?" Asked Pinkie pie. Then Sonic, stepped forward and said. "Because that's not Nyx, Pinkie pie." When Sonic said that Nyx, clapped her hands and said in her demonic voice. "Very good Sonic the hedgehog, I'm not Nyx." Suddenly Nyx, rose up from the stage and then smoke came out off her mouth and transformed into a hedgehog. "It's Chaos Phantom," said Shadow, Sonic, and Tails. "Ah, so you fools still remember me, I thought you all had forgot about me," he said, with an evil smile on his shadowy face. "How can we ever forget that ugly smile on your face?" Asked Tails. "Oh why Tails, I'm hurt now. I thought I was your guys' friend," Chaos said, in Nyx's voice. Tails looked at Chaos Phantom and said. "You are not Nyx, so stop using her voice." Chaos sighed and said. "Very well, but I think it's time for you all to know that all of this trouble was all because of me." When Chaos Phantom said that everyone gasped. "You are?" Asked Fluttershy. Just then the Dazzling's got up and looked up at Chaos Phantom who still had control over Nyx. "Yes he was, and now that we have the Crystal Heart we will take over all of Equestria and all of this world," said Adagio. "That's right," said Sonata. Chaos Phantom looked at the sirens, and laughed. "Hey, what's so funny master?" Asked Aria. "Oh nothing Aria, it's just that I think it's time for you three to give up your life force to me," said Chaos. Suddenly tentacles came out of Nyx's back and wrapped around the sirens and starting to drain them of they're life force. "Chaos Phantom? What are you doing to us?" Asked Adagio. "Yeah? I thought that we were in this together?" Asked Sonata. Chaos Phantom looked at the Dazzling's and laughed. "We were, until you three failed to get the Crystal Heart. Now I will take great pleaser of ending you three's miserable life once and for all." The sirens couldn't believe what they were hearing. "So, you and your queen just used us to get the Crystal Hart?" Asked Sonata, with tears in her eyes. "Yes, and now that you three are no use to us anymore I'm going to get rid of you," said Chaos Phantom, as he increased his power to suck the life out of the sirens. As Sonic, Shadow, and the others looked on Rainbow Dash said in a angry voice. "Well I hope this will teach those girls a lesion for what they did to us and everyone else." When everyone heard that they all gasped. "Now Rainbow, that's not the way to speak," said Rarity. "She's right Dash, even if they did bad things to us doesn't mean that they disserve to die," said Fluttershy. "Well it's not going to happen," said Sunset. Then without another word Sunset ran toward the sirens and grabbed the tentacles and when she did she screamed as she felt her life force leave her as well. "SUNSET, NO!!!!" They all screamed. "GET OUT OF THERE NOW!!!!" Shouted Shadow. Sunset looked at her friends and said in a weaken voice. "N....no I....I won't l....leave them." The sirens couldn't believe what they were seeing, Sunset was trying to save them after all the things they had done to her and her friends. "Why are you sacrificing yourself for us?" Asked Adagio. Sunset, looked at the sirens and smiled. "Because, you three are like me. I made some mistakes in my past but now I was given a second chance, and now I'm going to give you three a second chance." The sirens looked at Sunset and smiled. As Sonic, Shadow and the others looked on Sonic, turned to Tails and asked. "Tails? Can you find away to free the sirens?" "I'll try Sonic," said Tail, as he got out his wrist watch and started typing on it. Soon Tails' watch started to beep. "I found it Sonic, it's those amulets around their necks they have to destroy them if they have a chance to survive." When the sirens heard that they had to destroy their amulets they were shocked. "But we can't destroy our amulets because they hold our power to sing," said Aria. "But if you don't then you will all be destroyed," said Fluttershy. "Fluttershy is right, please destroy your amulets now," said Rainbow Dash. "But, but." Sonata was about to say something until Adagio spoke up. "Alright we'll do it." After hearing that Aria and Sonata, all looked at Adagio. "But Adagio, if we destroy our amulets," said Sonata. "I know Sonata, but if it's the only way to survive then so be it," said Adagio. With that Sonata and Aria nodded at Adagio, then they took off their amulets and then through them as hard as they could on the ground. Then the amulets shattered into a million pieces which made the tentacles that were wrapped around the sirens to disappear. "Hey, it worked," said Aria. "Yeah, we're free now," said Adagio. Then they saw Sunset smiling at them which they returned. "Aw how sweet this is, you all are fiends now," said Chaos Phantom, who was still in Nyx's body. "Chaos Phantom, you let Nyx go right now," said Shadow. Chaos Phantom, smiled and said. "You want me out of your friends body? Then come and fight me to do it." Sonic and Shadow looked at one another. "Well it looks like we don't have a choice Shadow," said Sonic. "Yeah, if we have to get Nyx back we'll have to fight her," said Shadow. "Alright then, let's do it Shadow," said Sonic. Just then the chaos emeralds started to grow and glow. "Hey, what's going on with those emeralds?" Asked Rarity. "I'm not sure but I think we better get out of Sonic and Shadow's way," said Rainbow Dash. With that the sirens, Tails, Sunset, and the others moved out of the way so Sonic and Shadow could fight Chaos Phantom without getting in the way. "Alright Shadow, I think it's time to show this phantom, Shadic. What do you say?" Asked Sonic. Shadow looked at Sonic and smiled. "I say, lets do it Sonic." With that the emeralds started to circled around Sonic and Shadow. "What are you two up to now?" Asked Chaos. "Oh you'll see Chaos, ready Shadow?" Asked Sonic. "I'm ready when you are Sonic," said Shadow. With that Sonic and Shadow rose up and then shouted. "CHAOS CONTROL!!!!" After that a bright light engulf them which made Chaos Phantom, five of the mane six, Tails, Sunset, the sirens, and everyone else to close their eyes. "What in the world is happening?" Asked Vice Principal Luna. "Sonic and Shadow, are transforming into one," said Tails. "What do you mean that they are transforming into one?" Asked Principal Celestia. Before Tails could say anything else. The bright light dimed and their where Sonic and Shadow used to stand was a teenage boy with white hair with red streaks. He wore a white shirt with a yellow and black jacket over it. He also had on fingerless gloves, along with silvery pants, and finally he had on the same hover shoes that Shadow had. Everyone all looked at the boy in aw excepted for Tails. "What, what happened to Sonic and Shadow?" Asked Flash, who was in the crowed. "And who is that good looking boy?" Asked Sonata. "That is Sonic and Shadow, they have transformed in to one person," said Tails. When everyone heard that they were shocked. "YOU MEAN TO TELL US THAT, THAT'S SONIC AND SHADOW AS ONE PERSON?" Asked Pinkie. "Yep, that's right," said Tails. "That....is....so....AWSOME!!!!" Said Rainbow Dash. When Chaos saw this, he was not impressed. "Ha, if you think that little transformation will help you, you are sadly mistaken." Shadic looked up at Chaos Phantom who was still in Nyx's body and said. "No Chaos Phantom, it's you that is sadly mistaken thinking that you can beat me." After that Chaos Phantom, charged right at Shadic. (Music ends and Egg-Wyvern boss theme from Sonic 2006 starts to play) As Chaos charged right at Shadic, he charged right at Chaos as well. The two of them then collided with each other and began to test each others strength by locking hands. "Ha, not bad Shadic," said Chaos. "Your not so bad yourself Chaos Phantom," said Shadic. "Why thank you Shadic." Suddenly Chaos Phantom then broke there death lock on each other and then he punched Shadic in the gut sending him flying into a wall. "Shadic? Are you alright?" asked Fluttershy. "Yeah, I'm ok Fluttershy," said Shadic, as he was holding his gut. "Your not going to be fine when I'm done with you," said Chaos, as he fired a dark energy blast at him. As the energy blast headed towards Shadic, he quickly used chaos control and was able to dodge the blast before it could hit him. "Wow now that was close," said Pinkie pie. Just then Chaos Phantom, started to rapidly shoot more dark energy blasts right at Shadic. But Shadic, dodged everyone of those blasts. "Stop moving you meddlesome hedgehog," said Chaos Phantom, as he continued to fire at Shadic. Just then Shadic appeared right behind Chaos, and said in a quiet voice. "Hey behind you." As Chaos Phantom turned around Shadic did a back flip kick which connected Chaos possessed Nyx, and it sent him flying up in the sky. "Ha, too easy," said Shadic, as he fallowed him up into the sky. Then when Shadic over took him, he clinched up his fist and then hit Chaos, on the head which made him plummet done to the ground leaving a big hole in the ground. "Alright, Shadic did it," said Rarity. But just then Tails said. "It's not over yet Rarity." "What do you mean Tails?" Asked Rainbow Dash. Just then the Chaos Phantom possessed Nyx came out of the hole. "You are going to pay for that Shadic." "Why don't you just give up already Chaos, and give Nyx back to us?" Shadic asked. "If you want Nyx, back so badly then come and get her," said Chaos, as he charged after Shadic. Shadic, tried to dodge but Chaos was to fast and got kicked in the face and landed right next to Sunset and the sirens. "Shadic, are you alright?" Sunset asked. Before Shadic could answer he saw an energy beam heading right towards them. "Look out you guys," Shadic said, as he got up and tried to block the beam of energy. As the energy beam hit Shadic, he went flying right into his friends. Then as the smoke cleared Chaos Phantom saw that Sonic and Shadow had separated. "Well, well, well it looks like you two have reached your limits," said Chaos, as he looked down at Sonic and Shadow and got ready to finish them off as he crated his final attack. Sonic, Shadow, and their friends looked on at Chaos Phantom's energy ball getting bigger and bigger. "This is it Sonic and Shadow, say goodbye. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!" Said Chaos. But before he could kill Sonic and Shadow, his dark energy ball vanished and his hand started to shake. "Wha....what's going on with me?" Asked Chaos. "Sonic? What's going on?" asked Tails. "It must be Nyx, she still in their somewhere,:" said Sonic. As Chaos struggled with Nyx's body Sonic turned to Shadow, and asked. "Shadow? Do you still have enough power to do your chaos flame fist?" "I think so Sonic," said Shadow. With that Shadow got up and started to charge up his attack. Meanwhile Chaos was still struggling to keep control of Nyx's body. "N....no I....I must....get....control," he said. Just then he heard Shadow shouting. "HEY CHAOS PHANTOM!!!!" Chaos looked at Shadow and saw that his hand was on fire. "GET OUT OF NYX'S BODY NOW, CHAOS FLAME FIST!!!!" With that flames burst out of Shadow's fist and headed towards Chaos Phantom. "What? No this can't be," said Chaos, as the flames engulfed him. (Music ends) When everybody looked on as the flames engulfed Chaos Phantom in Nyx's body, they were concerned for her. "Oh I hope Nyx, is alright," said Fluttershy. "Yeah, me too surgarcube," said Applejack. And everyone else agreed when Tails said. "Don't worry girls Nyx, is just fine." "Are you sure Tails?" Asked Adagio. Tails looked at Adagio and said. "Yes, I'm sure Adagio." Just then the flames vanished and showed Nyx starting to fall to the ground. "Oh no Nyx," everyone said. Just then Aria got up and caught Nyx, to everyone's relief. "Hey Tails?" Asked Rarity. "Yeah Rarity?" Asked Tails. "Is Nyx, alright?" When Rarity asked that Tails, looked at his watch and said. "She's a little weak but she'll be alright." "Thank goodness," said Rainbow Dash. Just then Nyx started to open her eyes. "Hey everybody she's waking up," said Aria. As soon as Nyx woke up she saw everybody all looking at her. "Hey everybody, what's going on?" Asked Nyx, weakly. "Don't you remember anything Nyx?" Asked Pinkie pie. Nyx, thought for a moment until her eyes opened wide. "Oh no now I remember, that evil hedgehog took control of me, made me hurt Sonic and Shadow, and made me almost make off with the Crystal Heart." As Nyx, started to cry until Sunset came up to her and said in a calm voice. "Shhhh it's ok Nyx, we still have the Crystal Heart and that evil hedgehog is gone." "That's right Nyx, now that Chaos Phantom is gone. All we have to do is to wait until the portal opens and..." Sonic never finished his sentence for he and Shadow who was right next to him fell to the ground, weaken from their battle with Chaos Phantom. "Sonic, Shadow," everyone said, as they came up to them with concern on they're faces. "No it's ok, we're just a little weak that's all," said Shadow weakly. When Nyx saw her two friends so weak from their battle to try and free her form Chaos Phantom, she was sad. "Oh no, this is all my fault." "Nyx, this isn't your fault," said Applejack. "Yeah it was that big mean meanie pants Chaos Phantom, who made you do those bad things," said Pinkie pie. Nyx was about to say something else until the ground started to shake. (Bowser Takes Peach's Castle from Paper Mario starts to play) "Hey, what in the world is going on?" Asked Fluttershy. "It feels like and earthquake," said Sonata. Suddenly the sky grew dark. "Something tells me that this is no earthquake," said Tails. "Yeah, it doesn't feel like an earthquake to me ether Tails," said Sonic. Just then they heard a sadistic laugh. "Oh man, it's Chaos Phantom," said Shadow. When Shadow said that Chaos Phantom, appeared. "HAHAHA, so you all thought you have gotten rid of me? Well I'm afraid not, I have a mission to complete and I'm going to do just that." Just then Chaos snapped his fingers and then the Crystal Heart vanished out of Nyx's hands. "Hey, what happened to the Crystal Heart?" Asked Sunset. "Looking for this?" Asked Chaos Phantom, as he reviled the Crystal Heart in his hand. "Give us back the Crystal Heart, Chaos now," said Sonic. "You want it back? Fine you can have it but first." Just then Chaos, opened his mouth and then the Crystal Heart started to turn black. "Hey, what is Chaos Phantom doing?" Asked Rainbow Dash. "He's, stilling the Crystal Heart's power," said Tails. "But, how can he?" Asked Sunset. Just then Chaos closed his mouth and tossed the now black Crystal Heart to Sonic, Shadow, and the others. "Oh no you guys, look at the Crystal Heart," said Fluttershy. "It's all black, what dose that mean?" Asked Rarity. "It means that Chaos Phantom, has just stoled the Crystal Heart's power," said Sonic. Chaos Phantom, laughed and said. "That's right and now thanks to the power of the Crystal Heart, I am more powerful then ever HAHAHAHA!!!!" As soon as he said that he started to grow bigger and bigger. "Oh man, he's huge," said Adagio. "What are we going to do now?" Asked Applejack. "There is nothing you can do now, I'm too powerful now and soon I will take over this world and Equestria with my queen HAHAHAHA!!!!" Said Chaos Phantom. Just then Sonic and Shadow got up and stepped forwarded to Chaos Phantom. "You and your queen who ever she is will not take over this world or Equestria," said Sonic. "That right, you'll have to go though us to do it," said Shadow. With that Sonic and Shadow transformed into their hyperforms as they did that their friends were concerned for them. "Guys your not strong enough yet," said Tails. "Yeah you guys could die," said Flash Sentry. But Sonic and Shadow, looked at them and smiled and turned to face Chaos Phantom. (Music ends and the power of love from Sailor moon starts to play) "Ha, if you two are ready to die then so be it," said Chaos Phantom, as he raised up his hands and prepared to kill Sonic and Shadow with his new powers. "Alright Chaos Phantom let's do it," said Sonic and Shadow together. Then as Chaos Phantom released his dark energy ball Sonic and Shadow raised up their hands and struggled to keep Chaos Phantom's attack from hitting them and their friends. "HAHAHA!!!! Now that I have achieved ultament power thanks to the Crystal Heart, your powers are nothing Sonic and Shadow," said Chaos. As Sonic and Shadow continued to struggle their friends cried out. (The sirens) Don't give up you two. (Sunset Shimmer) Yeah, it's working. (The Rainbooms) Sonic, Shadow. (Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna) Do it you guys. (Tails) You can beat him Sonic and Shadow. As Nyx looked on at Sonic and Shadow, struggling she started to cry. "Oh no it's all my fault." Then she turned to Tails and said to him. "It's all my fault Tails." Tails couldn't believe what Nyx was saying. "Nyx no." Tails tried to say something but Nyx, continued to speak. "It's all because of me that this happening, it's all my fault. As Nyx continued to cry one of her tears fell on the Crystal Heart and when it did the Crystal started to glow brightly again. When Nyx saw this she couldn't believe that the Crystal Heart was back to full power. "The Crystal Heart's power is back," she said to herself Just then she looked back up to Sonic and Shadow and saw what she had to do, so she got up with the Crystal Heart and started towards Sonic and Shadow were until Tails stopped her. "Nyx, what are you doing?" Nyx looked back at Tails and said. "Tails, I'm sorry I got you all into this but I'm going to use the Crystal Heart to help Sonic and Shadow." "But Nyx, I can't let you it's way too dangerous." "I don't care you all risked your lives to protect my family and me." "But Nyx." But Nyx just nodded to Tails. "Your right, we got to fight him with all we've got." Then Tails took the microphone that was still on it's stand and said to everyone that were still in the stands. "Everyone lesion to me, you have got to say chaos control with me." When everyone heard that they looked at one another with confused looks on their faces. (Rose Luck) What good would that do? (Tails) Please you have got to trust me. As everyone talked to each other Luna took the microphone out of Tails' hand and said. "Just do what he says." With that everyone nodded. "Thank you everyone, now when I give the word raise your hands up in the air and say chaos control." said Tails. Meanwhile Chaos Phantom, saw that he was winning against Sonic and Shadow. "HAHAHAHA!!!! At last I am finally going to get rid of Sonic and Shadow, for my queen." "Sonic, I don't think I can keep this up for much longer," said Shadow. "We have no choice Shadow, we have to keep going," said Sonic. But just when it looked bad for Sonic and Shadow, back on the ground Nyx with the Crystal Heart raised it up and said. "Crystal Heart, please give me the strength to protect my friends and family." As soon as she said those words the Crystal Heart glowed as brightly as ever and then Nyx, started to change. First she grew pony ears, then her hair grew into a pony tail, and then finally she grew wings and after that rows up to fight with Sonic and Shadow. When Chaos Phantom, saw this he was shocked. "What? The Crystal Heart is back to full power?" When Sonic and Shadow saw that Nyx, join the fight they were shocked too and said together. "What the? Nyx?" (Nyx) I need strength to fight. When Tails, heard what Nyx said he turned to everyone and said. "That's the signal you guys, now." With that he raised up his hands and said. "CHAOS CONTROL!!!!" Then everyone else followed. (Sunset Shimmer) CHAOS CONTROL!!!! (The sirens) CHAOS CONTROL!!!! (The Rainbooms) CHAOS CONTROL!!!! (The Principals) CHAOS CONTROL!!!! (Everyone else) CHAOS CONTROL!!!! After that Sonic and Shadow, felt more powerful then ever before. Then Sonic looked at Shadow, and said. "Alright Shadow, let's finish this guy off." "I'm with you Sonic," said Shadow. Then he looked at Nyx and asked. "Nyx? Are you with us?" Nyx looked at Shadow, and said. "Yes Shadow, I'm with you guys." (Shadow) Then let's do it, CHAOS!!!! (Sonic) CHAOS!!!! (Nyx) CHAOS!!!! (Sonic, Shadow, and Nyx) CONTROL!!!! When Chaos Phantom, saw what was happening he just laughed and said. "Try all you like, a whole bunch of you can't match the power of the Chaos Phantom." But suddenly a huge beam of energy blasted out of the Crystal Heart. (Sonic and Shadow) CHAOS PHANTOM!!!! (Nyx) GO AWAY FOEVER!!!! (Sonic, Shadow, and Nyx) HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! Just then the beam of energy broke through the dark energy ball and engulfed Chaos Phantom, with him screaming. "WHAT? THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING NO ONE IS AS STRONG AS THE CHAOS PHANTOM!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" And in a flash he was gone. (Song ends) > Chapter 10 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sonic and Shadow in Equestria 3 The Search For The Crystal Heart By: Will Atkinson Chapter 10 When the flash of energy disappeared Tails, Sunset, the sirens, five of the mane six, the principals, and everyone else looked up and saw Sonic, Shadow, and Nyx slowly descended back down to the grown. "I can't believe it. Sonic, Shadow, and Nyx did it," said Flash Sentry. "Yeah, and that scary evil hedgehog thing is gone," said Pinkie pie. As Sonic, Shadow, and Nyx got back to the grown everyone cheered and came up to them. (Tails) Way to go you guys. (Rarity) Yes, you three have done it. (The sirens) We're so proud of you guys of what you did for us. (Sunset) Congrats for your win over Chaos Phantom. And on it went until Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna, came out of the crowd and when they did Sonic, Shadow, and Nyx along with Tails bowed low, then Celestia started to speak. "Sonic, Shadow, Nyx, and even you Tails have saved us all and we are most grateful and forever in you debt for what you have done." With those words Sonic, Shadow, Nyx, and Tails smiled and thanked Celestia. "Your very welcome Principal Celestia," said Sonic. Then Shadow spoke up. "We did what we had to do to save this world and Equestria ma'am." "Yes, and you did well," said Luna. "So, are you guys going to leave us now?" Asked Rainbow Dash. When she asked that everyone looked at Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Nyx. "We would but we still have eighteen days left until the portal of Equestria opens again," said Nyx. "Well then, we'll make sure you guys have the greatest last eighteen days here a great one," said Pinkie pie. And then everyone cheered. After that the last eighteen days passed quickly for five of the mane six along with Sonic, Shadow, Tails, Sunset, and Nyx as they helped the sirens with their singing voices since they didn't have their amulets any more. Also Shadow and Sunset spent some time together on a wonderful date, also Sonic, Tails, and Shadow went bowling with the mane six, Sunset, and the sirens. They were having a wonderful time until the day came for Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Nyx to go back to Equestria. (Sadness from Sonic Adventure starts to play) As the friends were gathered around the statue where Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Nyx first came through into their world. While they were glad to be going back to Equestria, they were also saddened to say goodbye to their new friends and family. They sighed heavily as they looked at them, then Tails spoke up. "We're going to miss you all. You have been good friends to us and although we’re from different places, you are all apart of our family.” When Tails said that tears fell from the sirens, and five of the mane six's eyes but they were tears of joy. Then Just like they did after the destruction of Chaos Phantom, the girls gathered around them and gave them a big, warm, group hug. Once they broke away from the hug, each of the girls wanted to say their own goodbye to Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Nyx. The first was Pinkie pie who playfully grabbed Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Nyx from underneath their arms and lifted them up high in the air. She then began spinning around holding them gently, and then brought them back down. "Oh I'm going to miss you guys so much, especially you Nyx," said Pinkie happily. "Thanks Pinkie pie, I'm going to miss you too," said Nyx. Then Rainbow Dash came up and gave Sonic a fist bump. "You take care of yourself Sonic, and say hi to the pony version of myself ok." After hearing that Sonic, smiled and gave Rainbow Dash, a wink. "Don't worry Dash, I will." Next up was Applejack. “Well surgarcube's, Ah guess this is the end of the line and y'all must be getting back home.” Then Applejack gave them a warm embrace and said in a sad voice. "Ah’m sure gonna miss ya guys." "And we are going to miss you Applejack," said Nyx, as she gave Applejack a hug. The next girl to say goodbye was Rarity, she came up and gave Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Nyx a peck on the cheek and said. "I just want you all to know that I hope you guys don't change who you are okay darlings?" "Don't worry Rarity, we won't," said Shadow. Rarity, smiled and headed back to the others, when she got back Fluttershy was the next one to come up to Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Nyx. As Fluttershy came up to them she had tears in her eyes and then she ran up to them and gave them a big hug and said. "Oh I'm going to miss you all so much." "And....we'll....miss....you....too....Fluttershy," said Tails, as he was gasping for air. Fluttershy smiled and then she let out a slight squeak. "Oh I almost forgot." With that she handed Tails a book. "Oh what is this?" He asked Fluttershy. Fluttershy smiled and said. "It's a photo album, it has pictures of all of us together I hope you'll like it." Tails looked at the photo album and then gave Fluttershy a big hug. "Wow Fluttershy, thank you." "Your very welcome Tails," said Fluttershy, as she went back to her friends. The next ones to come up to Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Nyx was the sirens. "We wish that you guys could stay longer," said Adagio. "Yeah because we're going to miss you guys too much," said Sonata. After Sonata said that Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Nyx smiled at then then Sonic said. "We know but they are important things in Equestria that we need to do." "Yeah, like find out who created Chaos Phantom," said Shadow. "We understand," said Aria. With that the sirens went back to the others but Shadow saw that Sunset was gone. "Hey where's Sunset?" Asked Shadow. When Shadow asked that everyone started to look around. "She, she was right behind me," said Rainbow Dash. Then Shadow saw Sunset, hiding beside of the school. Worried he went to see what was wrong. "Hey Sunset, are you ok?" Asked Shadow. Sunset looked at Shadow, with tears in her eyes and before Shadow could say anything Sunset, came up to him and hugged him while crying, "Oh Shadow, I'm going to miss you. Every since you confess you love to me I started to love you even more, now I don't want you to go." Shadow then returned the hug and said. "I know Sunset, but I need to go back but if you want to be with me then come with me and the others back to Equestria." When Sunset heard this in a hurt voice she said. "I can't Shadow, not what I did to Twilight and Celestia." "Oh Sunset, they have forgiven you so please come with me and the others," said Shadow. But Sunset just gave Shadow, a kiss and started to sing.

(Song ends and Sadness from Sonic Adventure starts to play) "Well Goodbye Shadow the Hedgehog, I love you," said Sunset. When Shadow heard Sunset, saying goodbye to him, he knew that she had made her choice to stay. "Goodbye Sunset Shimmer, I love you too," he said as he gave her one last kiss goodbye. With that Shadow left to join Sonic, Tails, and Nyx at the portal that would take them back to Equestria. "You ready Shadow?" Asked Sonic. Shadow looked at Sunset, one more time and said in a hurt voice. "Yes Sonic, I am ready." "Then let's go," said Tails. After that, they held hands and disappeared into the portal. However the portal was still open as if it was waiting on another figure to step through. Then they all turned to face Sunset who had her back toward them with her gaze staring at the swirling vortex. “Uh, Sugarcube, why didn’t ya go with them? We know that you love Shadow," said Applejack softly, as she walked up to Sunset and placed a hand calmly on her shoulder. Then another hand was placed on her shoulder. “Yes darling, you know that the little dear loves you and wanted you to go with him. Why in the world of Canterlot would your not going home with him and his friends?” Rarity asked, as she gave a small frown to her friend. Sunset let out a heavy sigh and turned toward the girls. “I can’t go back to Equestria you guys. You all know my story and why I can’t go back. They would never accept me as his mare friend or in this case his girlfriend.” Just then fresh hot tears were rolling down her cheeks. "I love Shadow, but I don’t know if they would allow me the chance to be apart of his life. Not for what I have done. Suddenly without warning Rainbow Dash, stomped up to her and firmly smacked her across the face. Everyone gasped. “That is enough Shimmer!” Said Rainbow, as she gave a disapproving look at Sunset Shimmer. “Ow! What was that for Rainbow?!” Sunset Asked, as she rubbed at her cheek with a hand. The cyan toned girl sighed heavily and arched her eyebrows disappointingly. She placed her hand on Sunset’s shoulder firmly. “I’m sorry for doing that Sunset, but girl, you’re being so uncool right now letting the one you love go back home alone. Yeah it was horrible what you done by stealing that Twilight Sparkle’s crown and tried to turn everyone into your patsies. However, that was the past and this is the now, so get your rear in gear and go after him,” She said, as she crossed her arms and let out a proud huff. Everybody’s jaws dropped at the assertiveness Rainbow shown, but mostly the wisdom in which she spoke. She quirked an eyebrow at their stares. “What? I’m just telling the truth.” Rainbow, smirked and chuckled. “Um… she’s right Sunset.” Fluttershy looked at the fiery haired girl. "Shadow, may have all of his family back in Equestria just waiting to welcome him and his friends back… um…. but that family won’t feel complete to him without you by his side. We are your friends Sunset and we all love you.” Fluttershy said, as she gave a soft smile to Sunset. Pinkie pie beamed and skipped up to Sunset, and said. “Yeah Sunny, Shadow is going to need you by his side. And if we can forgive you, I’m sure the pretty and nice pony versions of us can forgive you too.” She then joined in on the hug along with the rest. As they shared a group hug Sunset allowed the remaining of her tears to shed and then she said. “Oh you girls are so special to me.” Then they broke the group hug as Sunset let out a heavy sigh and gave a soft smile to her friends. “You all are right and Rainbow Dash, thank you for that smack of reality.” Sunset said. “Ah, don’t mention it Shimmer. That’s what friends are for, to help each other in need.” Rainbow, smirked proudly “Now you get going before I get too touchy feely.” Sunset chuckled as she looked around at each of the girls. “I’m going to miss you all. You all shown me what true friendship is all about, and for that I thank you. I hope to see you all again some day, and I promise to make you proud of me as I continue to being the best person I can be.” She smiled softly at them, took in a deep breath and exhaled, and then turned toward the statue. She turned to face them one final time. “Goodbye girls, I’ll miss you!” She gave a wave of her hand and faced the portal. "Here I come Shadow, my love." She entered into the portal and just like Shadow, Sonic, Tails, and Nyx she was gone in a flash. The portal finally closed as she left Canterlot. "You know, I miss them already," said Sonata. The girls smiled proudly as they watched their friend exit from their world into the portal. A heavy united sigh escaped their lips. “Well gals, what shall we do now?” Applejack, looked at them curiously. Then out of nowhere Pinkie squeaked excitedly. “I think it’s time for us to throw a we’re gonna miss Sunset Shimmer, but proud that she is going to live with her boyfriend and his friends party!" She beamed happily. Everyone giggled at her antics as they all decided to walk together away from the school for the night. (At the Crystal Empire) After going through the portal Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Nyx were back in the Crystal Empire with every pony smiling at them and they also saw Princess Celestia and Princess Luna standing there as well, just then Rainbow Dash, ran towards Sonic, and said. "SONIC, YOUR BACK!!!!" "Yep, I'm back Dash," said Sonic. "It's great to see you again Sonic," said Knuckles, as he and Sonic did a fist bump. "And it's great too see you again too you knuckle head," said Sonic. Then Twilight ran up to Nyx, and said in a happy voice. "Oh Nyx, I'm so glad that you are alright." "I'm glad to see you too mommy," said Nyx. The next pony to greet them was Applejack. "Well partners, I'm so glad to see yawl are still in one peace." "Thanks Applejack," said Tails. Just then Fluttershy, Rarity, and Pinkie pie saw that Shadow, looked a little down. "Hey Shadow, what's wrong?" Asked Fluttershy and Rarity together. "Yeah, you look like you ate a bad cupcake," said Pinkie pie. Shadow looked at the three ponies and said. "It's nothing for you guys to worry about, I'm fine." "You don't look fine to us Shadow," said Princess Luna. "Come on Shadow tell us what's troubling you," said Princess Celestia. But before shadow could say anything everyone and every pony saw the mirror glowing again and to everyone and every ponies surprise Sunset Shimmer stepped out of the mirror. When Shadow saw Sunset, he couldn't believe his eyes. "S.....Sunset?" Shadow asked quietly. "Hello Shadow," said Sunset lovingly. Just then Shadow ran up to her and gave her a hug while he trilled her around. "I can't believe your here Sunset, I thought you said you were not coming back. What made you change your mind?” Shadow asked. "Well Shadow I...." But before Sunset could explain herself Celestia, came up to the new couple and said with a sad smile. "Hello Sunset, it is good to see that you have returned." Sunset, looked at her old teacher and then tears started to fall out of her eyes and then she ran up to Celestia and hugged her. "OH CELESTIA, I'M SO SORRY FOR WHAT I DID IN THE PAST, WOULD YOU EVER FORGIVE ME?!" As Celestia looked at the crying mare she started to shed tears of her own then she started to stroke Sunset's hair and said in a sweet forgiving voice. "Shhhh, it's ok Sunset, I've already have forgiven you my little pony, their is no need to be scared anymore the only thing that it's important is that I am so glad that your back home." Sunset looked up at Celestia and said with a smile on her face. "Thank you Celestia." Just then Sonic came up to Princess Cadence and Prince Shining Armor and said. "Here Cadence and Shining Armor, I believe this belongs to you two." Then he reviled the Crystal Heart. "Thank you Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Nyx for bringing the Crystal Heart back to us," said Princess Cadence. "Yeah, three cheers for Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Nyx," said Pinkie pie. "I second that," said Knuckles. With that everybody and every pony started to cheer for Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Nyx. "Hip, hip." "HURRAY!!!!" "Hip, hip." "HURRAY!!!!" "Hip, hip." "HURRAY!!!!" After the cheers Rainbow came up to Sonic, and hugged him again and said. "Oh Sonic, you and the others are the heroes of the day once again." Just then Sonic broke the hug that Rainbow Dash, had him in and said. "Rainbow Dash? Before anything else happens." Then Sonic got down on one knee reviling a necklace with a ring making everyone, every pony, including Rainbow Dash gasp in shock and then Sonic asked. "Would you merry me?" Rainbow Dash looked at the necklace with the ring and said. "S....Sonic, of course I will." When Rainbow Dash, said that everyone and every pony cheered then Sunset went up to Sonic, and said. "Well done hedgehog." As everyone and every pony congratulated Sonic and Rainbow Dash, unknown to them a shadowy figure was watching them and then it disappeared. (Music ends and Big Boo's haunt from Super Mario 64 starts to play) In the frozen north Nightmare Amy, was waiting for her servant to return until he appeared in a flash of light. "Ah Starblaze, what do you have to report?" Nightmare Amy asked. "Well my queen I have some bad news, you see Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Nyx have defeated Chaos Phantom and to top it off Sonic and Rainbow Dash are getting married. When Starblaze said that Nightmare Amy, began to seve with rage. "So, Sonic and Rainbow Dash are getting married huh? Well we will make sure that they will have a wedding that they will never forget." "So what is you plain my queen?" Asked Starblaze. Nightmare Amy chuckled and said. "Lets just say that the elements of harmony are about to be split up. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!" As Nightmare Amy and Starblaze, laughed they didn't know that a mysterious old unicorn pony was watching them from the shadows and he said in a quiet voice so they couldn't hear him. "You think that you will get revenge on the elements of harmony Nightmare? Well think again because I know who will beat you and that is the chosen one." After that he vanished. (Music ends) Back in Canterlot Shadow and Sunset were outside looking at Luna's moon. "You know Sunset? Every time I see Luna's moon it's the same everyday excepted for tonight," said Shadow. Sunset smiled at Shadow, and said. "I know what you mean Shadow." Then Shadow looked at Sunset and placed her hoof in his hand and said to her. "Sunset? You promise that you won't leave me right?" Sunset looked at him and said. "Of course I won't leave you Shadow, I love you too much to do that." "Then Sunset? Would you do me the honor of becoming my bride?" When Shadow asked that Sunset, started to tear up and then she said happily. "OH SHADOW, YES I WILL BE YOUR BRIDE!!!!" With that Sunset and Shadow kissed as Luna's moon glowed brightly over them.
