Sonic and Rainbow Dash: Endless Possibility

On the TV screens throughout the resturaunt, a bald human man with a big brown mustache wearing what seemed to be sunglasses, a red and white jacket, black pants, and black and white shoes appeared.

"I'm baaaaack! And I've got a wonderful little present for you insolent little people for all the trouble you've caused me! Well, wonderful for me and absolutely horrible for you!" said Dr. Ivo 'Eggman' Robotnik.

Almost as soon as Dr. Eggman was finished talking, a flying battleship appeared in the sky. And from it fell two battle mechs and what looked like a flying egg, in which was Dr. Eggman and two smaller robots, one with a yellow paint job and a block-shape, and a red orb-shaped robot, who was holding a camera. One mech was armed with what looked like missiles for hands, and one with what seemed like claws.

"I trust you all remember Missile-Wrist. Well, my good civilians, meet the new and improved version! And his partner, The Lacerator! I was planning on calling him Burnbot, but that'd be stupid since he can't actually burn or incinerate things. Anyways, once these two war machines are finished destroying the city, I'll be able to rebuild Eggmanland! Oh ho ho ho ho!" laughed Dr. Eggman before the transmission ended.

But, Rainbow Dash and Sonic could clearly hear what the mad doctor said next. "All right, you two! Start smashing!"

"Acknowledged," said Missile-Wrist and Lacerator. Missile-Wrist began launching his retractable missile-like hands while Lacerator did the same with his claws.

As panicked patrons began fleeing the resturaunt, Sonic and Rainbow Dash went outside and stood to confront Dr. Eggman.

"Dash, you get someplace safe. I'll handle Egghead," said Sonic.

Rainbow shook her head. "Sorry, Sonic, but I'm the Bearer of Loyalty. I never, ever, leave my friends hanging," she said, taking a fighter's stance with Sonic.

Sonic couldn't help but smile. This was going to be fun... provided Rainbow didn't get herself killed.

"All righty, then... let's see what you can do!" said Sonic, before rolling up into a ball and reving up.

"Oh, don't worry... I've got a few tricks up my sleeve," said Rainbow, flying at break-neck speed at Missile-Wrist.

Dr. Eggman leaned out of his Egg Mobile at the sight of the rainbow blur headed for his mech.

"What is that?!" he yelled.

"Sir, it appears to be... some sort of pegasus," said Orb-Bot, confusion evident in his synthetic voice.

"And it's as fast as Sonic, too!" said Cube-Bot.

"Interesting..." said Dr. Eggman.

"You know what else is interesting, Eggman?" said Rainbow as Missile-Wrist got ready to launch his arms at her.

"What?" said Eggman.

"This!"

As Missile-Wrist's missile arm launched out at Rainbow, Sonic managed to get The Lacerator to launch one of his claws. Rainbow, Sonic, and a quick thinking Dr. Eggman managed to get out of the way at the last second as the two appendages collided.

"Uh-oh," said Missile-Wrist.

"Roger roger," said Lacerator.

The very next second, both robots were pulled towards each other with unrelenting force, before crashing into each other, rendering both machines totaled.

"And that is what we call 'skillz,'" said Rainbow and Sonic.

"Well, well, well... you're doing remarkably well, especially after that... unfortunate... incident with Scourge," said Eggman.

Rainbow turned to look at Sonic in confusion. Unfortunate incident? Scourge? What's he talking about? thought Rainbow.

"Don't you dare bring her into this, Eggman!" snarled Sonic.

"Ooh! When did you get so grumpy, Sonic?" taunted Eggman.

At that precise moment, a mallet found its way into the side of Dr. Eggman's Egg Mobile. Looking in the direction it came from, Rainbow once again caught sight of a bizzare ensamble of woodland animals that more than likely had the ability to speak. This particular ensamble consisted of an angry looking pink hedgehog in a red dress similar to Sonic in physical appearance, a brown chipmunk wearing a light blue sleeveless shirt, black shorts, and black and white boots, and a copper colored rabbit that had robotic legs and a robotic arm.

"Buzz off, Eggman! Or my next hammer is going directly on you face!" yelled the pink hedgehog.

Eggman growled. The odds certainly weren't in his favor at the moment. He turned to face Sonic. "You and your intriguing mythological girlfriend win this round, Sonic, but I'll be back and the Chaos Emeralds will be mine!" said Eggman as he retreated to his Egg Carrier and made his escape.

Once Dr. Eggman was gone, the pink hedgehog turned her attention, along with a hammer, towards Rainbow Dash. "And you! Who the hell are you? And how did you move so fast?"

Rainbow Dash blushed. The fact that this crazy pink hedgehog was pointing a giant hammer at her wasn't really helping with the tons of questions racing through her mind.

"Her name's Rainbow Dash. I saved her the other day when she, well... fell from the sky," explained Sonic.

The chipmunk raised an eyebrow as the pink hedgehog scoffed and said, "And how do you know she isn't an Eggman robot? Or worse, a Metal Sonic robot?"

"Tails checked. She's a living, breathing pegasus mare," said Sonic.

"Wait a sec... Metal Sonic? Okay, will somepony please explain to me what the Tartarus you guys are talking about?" said Rainbow.

"Metal Sonic is a robotic copy of me built by Eggman who went rogue. And the word is 'somebody,'" explained Sonic.

"Oh... and now the million bit question: who are you guys?" asked Rainbow.

"Ah'm Bunnie D'Coolette, but everybody calls me Bunnie-Rabbot," said the cyborg rabbit, shaking hands with Rainbow Dash.

The chipmunk was next. "My name is Sally Acorn," said Sally, likewise shaking Rainbow's hand.

And finally, it was the pink hedgehog's turn. After standing and looking her up and down, the pink hedgehog held out her hand. "I'm Amy Rose, and I just have to ask you something," she said.

"Yeah? What's that?" asked Rainbow Dash.

"How did you get your hair to be like that?"

Rainbow  blushed again. "Uh... it's actually my natural mane color," she said.

"Ah, okay," said Amy.

"So, what did Eggman mean by Chaos Emeralds?" asked Rainbow.

Sonic sighed as he began his explination. "The Chaos Emeralds are seven mystical gems that bestow unlimited power. Just one will grant enhanced strength and speed, even power machinery," he said.

"Uh-huh... and Eggman thinks he can use them? asked Rainbow.

"That's correct. Hardly a week goes by without him hatching some evil scheme involving the gems," said Sally.

"I've sometimes wondered if I should work trouncing Eggman's sorry ass into my daily routine," joked Sonic.

"But, it's not like he can actually use them, right? I mean, he isn't one of the Emeralds' Bearers, is he?"

Sonic and Sally got confused looks on their faces as Bunnie and Amy scratched their heads.

"Er... Bearers?" asked Bunnie.

"Well, yeah, I mean, aren't there specific beings in this world who are the only ones who can weild each Chaos Emerald's power?" asked Rainbow, who was quickly becoming more and more confused by this world by the second.

"Well... I'm highly certain that the only requirement to use a Chaos Emerald is being alive," said Sonic.

"So, in other words, anyone can use them," said Rainbow.

"Yep... but, I'm interested as to where you got this whole 'Bearer' idea from... care to fill in the blanks?" asked Sally.

Rainbow scratched her head. "Eh, sure, but this is going to take some explaining," she said.

...

A few hours later, at Sonic's place, Rainbow Dash was telling Tails, who was taking vigourous notes, Sally, Sonic, and a burly purple walrus named Rotor about the Elements of Harmony.

"All right, so these six Elements, Honesty, Kindness, Laughter, Generosity, Loyalty, and the most powerful of them all, Magic, are pretty much the Chaos Emeralds of my world, except that only one pony can use each Element. I can use the Loyalty Element, and my friends Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Twilight can use Laughter, Honesty, Kindness, Generosity, and Magic respecively. Also, they provide power to this tree called the Tree of Harmony, whch is the source of all Equestrian Magic. Anymore questions?" asked Rainbow, now knowing what it felt like to be an egghead like Twilight.

Sally was amazed at this piece of information. These Elements and their relationship with this tree sounded a lot like the mirror opposite of the relationship between the Chaos Emeralds and the Master Emerald...

But, before Sally could point out this similarity, Amy Rose came bursting through the door, yelling, "They're all coming!"

Rainbow could practically hear the crickets chirping as she and everybody else in the room gave Amy a blank look.

"Who's all coming to what?" asked Rotor.

"Didn't you guys get that message I sent to everyone?" asked Amy.

Sally pulled out her cell phone and checked her e-mails. Sure enough, there was a message from Amy. Sally smiled as she read it. "Not a bad idea, Amy," she said once she'd finished.

"What's not a bad idea?" asked Rainbow.

"Amy has decided to throw a party in your honor. And it sounds like all of our friends are coming. Wait, does that mean Silver, too?" asked Sally.

"Uh-huh. Just a suggestion, but I think you guys should get ready," said Amy.

...

Meanwhile, at Dr. Eggman's base, Dr. Eggman was watching the recording of Rainbow Dash and Sonic trashing his two battle mechs. This just couldn't be happening. Dealing with four creatures that could break the sound barrier was difficult enough all ready, but now there was a pegasus who could match his archenemy's speed!

"How am I supposed to compete with this?! Never, after all these years would I have expected this to happen? How can I take over the world and build the Eggman Empire if there's five beings running circles around it?" yelled Dr. Eggman.

So consumed by his distress was Eggman that he didn't hear a soft voice chuckle. At least, not until it spoke.

"Aw, does the poor doctor have a rainbow problem? Perhaps me and my army can help."

Eggman wheeled around his his chair to find what seemed to be another anthro pegasus mare, this one having a golden mane and tail, a light turquoise coat, and wearing what seemed to be a purple and black flight suit with yellow jagged lines on the wrists and ankles, black gloves and boots, and a black flight mask complete with angry-looking yellow tinted goggles.

"Who are you? And how'd you get past my security?" roared Dr. Eggman.

The masked mare chuckled once again. "My name is Lightning Dust, and I am the Captain of the Shadowbolts. Let's talk business," said Lightning.
