Chapter 1: The Arrival of Nightmare Amy

(Theme song starts to play)

(Song ends)

It has been six months since Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Nyx went to the humane world of Equestria to get the Crystal heart back from a evil hedgehog named Chaos Phantom. Now the big day had arrived for Sonic, Rainbow Dash, Shadow, and Sunset Shimmer as their wedding was in a few minutes and Rarity was just finishing up Rainbow's and Sunset's dresses.

"Oh my goodness darlings I still can't believe that it's been six months since Sonic and Shadow propose to you two." Said Rarity, who was putting the finishing touches on Rainbow's and Sunset's wedding dresses.

"Yeah we can't believe it ether Rarity." Said Rainbow Dash.

Then in no time at all Rarity, was done with Rainbow's and Sunset's dresses

"Oh boy our fiances are going to have their mouths all the way down to the floor when they see us." Said Sunset Shimmer, as she looked at herself in the mirror.

"I couldn't agree more Sunset." Said Rainbow Dash.

Just then the rest of the mane six came in and when they saw Rainbow Dash and Sunset Shimmer in their dresses their eyes went wide.

"Wow Dash you and Sunset look wonderful." Said Twilight.

"Yes you two look great." Said Applejack.

"Sonic and Shadow are really are going to love your dresses for sure now." Said Fluttershy.

"Thanks girls." Said Rainbow and Sunset, together.

Just then Pinkie pie jumped in.

"So are you guys ready to get married to Sonic, and Shadow?" Asked Pinkie pie.

"Of course we are Pinkie." said Rainbow.

Just then they heard a knock at the door and when Twilight, opened it their was Flash Sentry.

"Oh hey Flash." Said Twilight, blushing a little.

"What do you need?"

"Well I'm here to say that everypony is ready for Rainbow Dash, and Sunset." Said Flash.

When Rainbow and Sunset heard that they rushed out of the dressing room knocking everypony out of the way.

"Wow if Dash can run that fast she could beat Sonic in a race." Said Applejack.

"Not to mention Sunset, could beat Shadow in a race with that kind of speed." Said Pinkie.

Meanwhile Sonic and Shadow, were finishing putting on their tuxes on when Knuckles, Tails, and Spike came in.

"Hey Sonic and Shadow." They said together.

"Oh hey guys what's up?" Asked Sonic.

"Well Sonic, we came here to tell you and Shadow that it's time for you two to get married." Said Tails.

"Ok thanks Tails." Said Shadow.

With that Sonic and Shadow fallowed Knuckles, Tails, and Spike to the throne room. As Sonic and Shadow, got to the throne room they saw that everypony was there for the big day then they saw Nyx coming up to them after she and the CMC got done putting the flowers on the aisle said in a happy voice.

"Hey uncle Sonic and uncle Shadow, you tow look great."

Sonic and Shadow, smiled at the young alicorn, and they said to her.

"Thanks Nyx."

Just then they heard the wedding march so Nyx and everypony else got into place for the arrival of Rainbow Dash and Sunset. As soon as Sonic and Shadow got into position the doors opened and there were Rainbow Dash and Sunset Shimmer. With the mane six, and Flash Sentry right behind them. Sonic and Shadow looked at their brides and they said quietly together.

"Wow my fiance looks so beautiful."

As Rainbow and Sunset came to the alter Flash said to Twilight.

"Hey Twilight, after the wedding there is something i want to ask you."

When Twilight, heard this she smiled at Flash, and asked him.

"Really Flash? And what would that be?"

When Flash heard this he shook his head and said to her.

"I said after the wedding."

After that Twilight giggled and nuzzled Flash then she joined her daughter and the rest of her friends as Flash joined the guards to make sure no pony interfered with the wedding.

As Rainbow Dash past the CMC, Scootaloo said in a quiet voice.

"Wow Rainbow Dash looks so beautiful."

When Rainbow Dash and Sunset got to the alter with their fiances Celestia came up towards them and then she began the ceremony.

"Mare's and gentle colts we are gathered here today for the union of Sonic, Rainbow Dash, Shadow, and Sunset Shimmer."

Then Celestia turned to Sonic and Rainbow and said.

"Sonic and Rainbow Dash please read your vows first."

When Sonic and Rainbow Dash heard this they both nodded. Sonic was the first one who said his vow first to Rainbow Dash.

"My wonderful Rainbow Dash, ever since we've met I never thought that you and I would be here getting married today. When i first came here i was just here with Shadow, to help you, your friends, and the princesses to stop Discord. But you became a big put in my life when i asked you to marry me and now we are here getting ready to start a new life together as husband and wife."

Rainbow Dash blushed heard when she heard Sonic's vow then she started to read her vow to Sonic.

"Sonic, before I met you I always thought that I would never find some pony and live the rest of my life alone. But when you came here to help us to stop Discord, I felt that there would be something that we would have something in common and we did the love of speed. I love you Sonic the hedgehog, and I will love you till the day I die."

After Rainbow finished with her wedding vows Celestia, turned to Shadow and Sunset, and said.

"Now Shadow and Sunset Shimmer, will now read their vows.

With that Shadow started with his vows first.

"Sunset Shimmer, before we met I never thought i would fall in love with anybody or in this case any pony. The when Chaos Phantom, stole the crystal heart and Sonic, Tails, Nyx, and I had to go to the alternate dimension to get it back I never thought that you and me would be together. Then after we defeated Chaos Phantom, you decided to stay in the alternate dimension but your love for me made you come here to be with me. And now you and I are here to start our journey as husband and wife."

When Shadow got done reading his wedding vows to Sunset she had tears coming out of her eyes but she soon gain her composer and began to read her vows to Shadow.

"To my one and only Shadow, when I first met you I just thought of you as a just another ordinary boy or in this case an ordinary hedgehog. But as the days went by I started to like you more and more, and when the sirens sabotaged my battle of the bands song you were there to help me though it. And now you and I are here ready to start a new life together and maybe one day have a little one of our own."

When Sunset finished Shadow's face was red all over including everypony else was red in the face as well until Celestia spoke up.

"Um, well may we have the rings and necklace please?"

As soon as she said those words Spike the dragon who was still blushing from what Sunset just said to Shadow, came up and gave Celestia the three rings and one necklace. When Spike gave Celestia, the rings and necklace Celestia, then gave the rings to Sonic, Rainbow Dash, Shadow, and Sunset, and then said.

"Now then if any pony think that these four should not be together, let them speak now or forever hold your peace."

Suddenly a big gust of wind came into the room.

(The Wicked Witch's Theme from the Wizard of Oz starts to play)

"Hey where did this wind come from?" Asked Knuckles.

"I don't know partner but something tells me that this is no ordinary wind," said Applejack.

Then the wind began to swirl around like a twister.

"Oh man this is nuts," said Tails.

"Yeah it looks like a twister is coming our way," said Rarity.

Just then a black cloud roused up from underneath the floor and swarld around.

"What in the world is that?" Asked Rainbow Dash.

"I'm not sure Dash, but whatever it is it doesn't look good." said Sonic.

Suddenly the smoke cleared and there was a black unicorn with a silvery mane and tail and a dark pink hedgehog with a scythe in her hands.

(Music ends)

"Ah well, well, well hello my former friends," said the dark pink hedgehog.

As soon as she spoke Sonic, Shadow, Knuckles, and Tails knew that voice.

"Amy? Is that you?" Asked Sonic.

The dark hedgehog looked at Sonic and said with an evil smile.

"While Sonic, I see that you still remember me," said Amy

Just then her voice changed into a dark voice.

"But you can now call me Nightmare Amy."

When Celestia and Luna heard Nightmare Amy's voice they both shuttered in fear.

"Nightmare Moon, it's you," they both said.

When everypony heard this they all gasped including Sonic, Shadow and their friends.

"So Nightmare Moon is in Amy's body?" Asked Shadow.

"It looks like it Shadow," said Tails.

Sonic was confused.

"But how? I thought Nyx, was Nightmare Moon?" Asked Sonic.

"I was," Nyx, said who was also confused.

Nightmare Moon, heard this and laughed.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Well my little copy I'll tell you how I returned.

With that Nightmare began her story.

(Welcome to Crocodile Isle from Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong-Quest starts to play)

"You see fools after the elements of harmony hit me part on me stayed in the shared remands of my armor as for the other parts of me went up to the sky. And what that means is that there was two of me."

When everyone and every pony heard this they were shocked.

"You mean to tell us that when we destroyed you, we actually created two of you?" Asked Twilight.

Nightmare smiled and said to the young alicorn.

"Your right on the ball right there young one."

"Well we don't care how you are still here Nightmare but my ponies will make sure your banished for good," Celestia, said with anger in her voice.

Just then Twilight and the others with the elements of harmony jumped right in front of Nightmare Amy and began to activate the elements. But before the ponies could zap Nightmare Amy with the elements Sonic, stopped them and said.

"Guys wait, if you guys banish Nightmare with the elements you'll banish Amy too."

"You know you little fools he's right, if you banish me you will banish Sonic's friend too," Nightmare Amy said, while laughing.

"Oh what are we going to do?" Asked Twilight.

When Nightmare Amy heard this she laughed.

"Hey what's so funny?" Asked Rainbow Dash.

Nightmare Amy looked at the rainbow colored pegasus and said.

"What's funny is that you six can't do anything to stop me this time but I can do some thing to you six HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!"

(Music ends and Seelkadoom's Theme from Sonic RPG starts to play)

With that Nightmare Amy raised up her hands and a big gust of wind blow threw the castle making every pony and everyone to close their eyes.

"Oh man where did this wind come from?" asked Knuckles.

"It's coming from Nightmare Amy," Said Tails, as he struggles to keep his footing.

Just then Nightmare Amy created a tornado and shouted in a loud voice.

"NOW SAY GOODBYE TO THE HOLDERS OF THE ELEMENTS OF HARMONY!!!!"

Just as Nightmare Amy said that the tornado got stronger and stronger until the mane six started to be sucked in.

"Hey what in tarnations?" asked Applejack, as she was starting get sucked in by the tornado.

When Knuckles saw that Applejack, was being sucked in by the tornado he hurried and gabbed her hoof.

"Don't worry Applejack, I've got you," he said.

"Oh Thanks Knuckles," said Applejack.

"Don't mention it." said Knuckles.

Then Twilight started to get sucked in.

"Oh no Flash, help me."

Flash heard Twilight, and rushed to help.

"Hold on Twilight, I'm coming."

As Flash made his way though the crowed of terrified ponies he saw Twilight almost in the Tornado.

"TWILIGHT!!!!" Flash, shouted as he grabbed on to Twilight's hooves.

"Don't let go of me Flash," said Twilight.

"Don't worry Twilight, I won't let go of you," said Flash.

Just then Fluttershy, Rarity, Pinkie pie, and Rainbow Dash started to get sucked up by the tornado but were rescued by Tails, Sonic, Shadow and Sunset. When Nightmare Amy saw this she was mad and started to make the tornado even stronger.

"Oh man now what?" Asked Tails.

"The tornado is getting stronger," said Sunset.

Soddenly Rainbow Dash started to slip.

"Sonic, I can't hold on."

Just then Sonic lost his grip and Rainbow Dash got sucked in by the tornado.

"RAINBOW NO!!!!" Sonic, shouted.

Then one by one the mane six got sucked in by the tornado.

(Tails)
"FLUTTERSHY!!!!"

(KNUCKLES)
"APPLEJACK!!!!"

(Sunset Shimmer)
"RARITY!!!!"

(Shadow)
"PINKIE PIE!!!!"

As Rainbow, Fluttershy, Applejack, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie were sucked in by the tornado Flash tried everything to hold on to Twilight.

"Flash I'm slipping," cried Twilight.

"No your not Twilight," said Flash.

Soddenly Nightmare Amy walked toward Flash and Twilight.

"HAHAHAHAHA!!!! Well, well, well look what I found a unicorn and a pitiful princesses."

After hearing that Flash got mad at Nightmare Amy and said.

"You stay away from us you monster."

But Nightmare Amy just laughed and said.

"Well you little fool I think it's time to say goodbye to your mare friend.

With that Nightmare Amy powered up her scythe and zapped Flash Sentry with a powerful ball of energy. Just then Flash lost his grip on Twilight and then she was sucked up by the tornado screaming.

"FLASH, HELP ME!!!!"

Flash tried to save Twilight but it was to late she was sucked in the tornado with her friends.

"TWILIGHT NO!!!!" Flash, screamed.

Then Nightmare Amy said.

"Now for the grand finale."

Just then Nightmare Amy hit her scythe on the ground and just like that the tornado disapered with the mane six inside it.

"What, what did you do with them?" Asked Sonic.

"Ha, that's for me to know and you to not find out," said Nightmare Amy.

"Guards? Capture her!!!!" Shouted Celestia.

But before the guards could Nightmare Amy shouted.

"STAND BACK YOU FOOLS!!!!"

With that she disapered leaving Sonic and the others all alone.

Chapter 2: The Search Begins

After Nightmare Amy vanished Sonic, Shadow, and their friends couldn't believe what happened to the mane six.

"Oh man I can't believe what Amy just did to our pony friends." Said Sonic.

"I can't believe it ether Sonic." Said Tails.

"So what do you think we should do now Sonic?" Asked Knuckles.

Just then Flash spoke up.

"Well I don't know about you guys but I say we should kill her for what she did to Twilight."

When everyone and every pony heard what Flash said they were shocked.

"Flash, I know what your going though but revenge is not way we do things around here." Said Celestia.

"My Sister is right Flash." Said Luna.

"Not only that but Amy is our friend." Said Sonic.

But Flash just brushed them off and said in an angry voice.

"First of all revenge is the way and second how can you call Nightmare Amy a friend when she took Rainbow dash from you?"

When Sonic heard that he looked down with a sad look on his face. When Shadow show this he was angry at Flash.

"How dare you say that to Sonic, Flash you lost Twilight too."

This made Flash Sentry even more angry and said to Shadow.

"How dare you."

And then the two started to fight until Shining Armor broke them up.

"ALRIGHT YOU TWO THAT'S ENOUGH!!!! YOU GUYS SHOULDN'T BE FIGHTING EACH OTHER THINK OF WHAT TWILIGHT WOULD THINK OF YOU FLASH, IF SHE SAW YOU BEHAVING LIKE THIS."

This finally calmed Flash down a bit.

"I'm sorry Shining, you are right but how can we save her?"

"Yeah we don't know where Amy took them." said Tails.

"I know where they are." Said a voice.

Sonic and the others spun around to see a pony wearing a cloak coming towards them.

"Who are you?" Asked Celestia.

"Don't worry I come as a friend." Said the cloak wearing pony.

"A friend? Yeah right your probably working for Nightmare Amy." Said Flash.

And with that Flash charged at the pony only to be blocked by Sonic.

"Get out of my way Sonic." Said Flash.

"Just hold on Flash, I think I know him." Said Sonic.

"What do you mean Sonic?" Asked Flash.

Sonic didn't say anything he just went up to the pony and asked him.

"Excuse me sir but do I know you?"

When Sonic asked that the pony laughed.

"I hope so I was the one who helped you when that evil hedgehog Mephiles was here."

When he said that Sonic gasped and said.

"Wait a minute you were the one who gave me the power to control the Elements of Harmony."

When Sonic said that the pony laughed and said.

"Yep that is right."

When he said that Sonic, Shadow, and the others all gasped in shock.

"This is incredible." Said Tails.

"Yeah no kidding." Said Knuckles.

"So tell us where is our friends?" Asked Sonic.

The mysterious pony looked at Sonic and said.

"Nightmare Amy has split your friends all across Equestria. You'll have to got to each place in Equestria to find them and beat all of Nightmare Amy's henchman that are guarding them."

"Oh great and who are these henchman that she has?" Asked Shadow.

The mysterious pony looked at Shadow and said.

"I'm sorry but i don't know that."

After hearing this looked at the pony in disbelief, but but the pony said to them with a smile on his face.

"Don't worry my friends, I have some good news."

"Oh, and what is that?" Asked Sonic.

After Sonic asked that, the pony pulled out a map of Equestria and said.

"Here, I mapped out where your friends are at."

With that, he pointed out where the ponies where being held.

"Here, these are the places that your friends are being held at."

After seeing where their friends where being held at Sonic looked at his friends and said.

"Alright guys, here is the plain. Me and Shadow will go and free Twilight and Rainbow Dash, Tails and Sunset will go and free Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie, finally Knuckles and Nyx will go and save Applejack and Rarity."

Everyone and every pony looked at Sonic and nodded.

"Alright then, lets go and save our friends." Said Knuckles.

"Right, lets go." Said Shadow.

With that Sonic and his friends went there separate ways to save their friends. But before Sonic and Shadow could go on their way they were stopped by Flash.

"Hey Sonic?"

"Yes Flash, what is it?" Asked Sonic.

"Please bring Twilight back safe and sound."

Sonic looked at Pegasus and said.

"Don't you worry Flash, I'll bring her back safe and sound."

With that Flash smiled at Sonic and went back in the palace, when Flash went back in the palace Shadow looked at Sonic and said.

"Well Sonic, I guess we've better get going."

"Right Shadow, come on lets go."

And with that Sonic and Shadow set off to save Twilight and Rainbow Dash. As the train was going along the tracks Sonic and Shadow were talking about what they are going to do when they find Twilight and Rainbow Dash.

"So Sonic, who do you think Amy sent to hold Twilight and Rainbow Dash?" Shadow asked.

Sonic looked at his friend and said to him.

"I'm not sure but whoever it is will be no match for us."

After Sonic said that Shadow nodded and did a fist bump with Sonic. Just then the train stopped at it's destination as Sonic and Shadow looked outside there was no pony in sight.

"Hey Sonic, where is every pony?" Asked Shadow.

"I'm don't know Shadow, but I don't like it."

Just then a unicorn walked up to them and said.

"Good day to you two and welcome to my village."

"Oh hello there my name is Sonic and this is my friend Shadow."

"Hello there." Shadow said.

When the unicorn herd that their names were Sonic and Shadow she started to jump up and down.

"Oh wow I can't believe it your the Sonic and Shadow? The ones that saved Equestria three times?"

"Yes that's right." Said Sonic.

"Well it's nice to meet you two my name is Starlight Glimmer."

"Well Starlight it's really nice to meet you as well." Said Shadow.

"Yeah, like wise." Said Sonic.

"Well why don't you two come with me for a tour of my village?" Starlight asked.

"That would be cool to take a tour around your village starlight." Said sonic.

Just then Shadow pulled Sonic aside.A

"Hey, what gives Shadow?" Sonic asked.

"Have you forgotten about our mission on saving our friends Sonic?"

"No I have not Shadow, but I also feel dark power coming from this pony." Said Sonic.

"Wait, you don't mean. "

"I do Shadow I think that she mite know where Twilight and Rainbow Dash are."

With that shadow nodded and with that they looked at Starlight and then she said.

"Well are you two ready for our tour?" Starlight asked.

Sonic and Shadow nodded and with that Starlight began the tour of the village. As the three walked around the village the residence of the village came up to Sonic and Shadow and began to asked them lots of questions all about their adventures before and after they arrived in Equestria.

"Wow those ponies really wanted to know a lot about us." Said Sonic.

"Yeah no kidding Soinc, but what about their cutie marks?" Said Shadow.

"The reason for that is that here we are all equal." Explained Starlight.

Then Starlight took Sonic and Shadow to a large cave.

"Hey, where are you taking us now Starlight?" Asked Sonic.

"Oh I'm taking you two to see something cool."

When she said that Sonic was excited to hear that but Shadow was starting to think that this was going to be a bad idea. As the three made it to the cave their in front of them was a big curtain and when Starlight opened the curtain their was Twilight and Rainbow Dash all tied up and where there cutie marks should be their was an equal mark on their flanks.

"Sonic, Shadow please help us." Said Twilight. As she and Rainbow Dash tried to get free.

"Hey, what is this?" Asked Shadow, as he and Sonic went into there battle stands.

"Yeah, what have you done with our friends?" Asked Sonic.

Starlight, gave an evil look at Sonic and Shadow and then said.

"I have taking your friends cutie marks as well as everypony in this village, on ponies. "

Just then all of the ponies that they have ment came up and blocked the entrance to the cave.

"You won't get away with this Starlight Glimmer." Said Shadow

Starlight Glimmer, just laughed at Shadow, and then said.

"On but I already have hedgehog, now get them my ponies."

As soon as Starlight Glimmer, said the the ponies began to attack Sonic and Shadow.

(Tanga bye bye from mighty morphin power rangers starts to play)

As the ponies attacked Sonic and Shadow, they started to go on the defensive agents them.

"Shadow, we have to stop these ponies without hurting them." Said Sonic .

"Yeah, your right Sonic but how?" Asked Shadow.

"I wish I knew."

"Ha, you can't stop my ponies you silly hedgehogs." Laughed Starlight.

With that the ponies charged at Sonic and Shadow again but this time Sonic and Shadow decided to attack the ponies.

"Alright Shadow, it looks like we have no choice we must fight these ponies." Said Sonic.

After hearing that Shadow nodded at Sonic and said to him.

"Alright Sonic, let's get these ponies."

With that Sonic and Shadow started to attack the equal ponies with punched and kicks. As the battle continued Sonic and Shadow were almost done with the equal ponies Starlight was getting more and more angry that the equal ponies were losing.

"We are almost done Shadow, now let's finish them off." Said Sonic.

"Right Sonic, now let's do it." Said Shadow.

After Shadow said that the two hedgehogs jumped into in the air and then they shouted.

(Sonic)
SONIC WIND!

(Shadow)
CHAOS SPIRE!

After the smoke cleared the equal ponies were knocked out.

"Oh you two are going to pay for what you did to my ponies." Said Starlight, as she started to charge at Sonic and Shadow.

(Song ends and Infinite 1st battle theme starts to play)

When Sonic and Shadow saw Starlight coming right at them, they went into there battle stands ready to attack the mare.

"Ok you if it's a fight you want, it's a fight you'll get." Said Sonic.

And with that Sonic and Shadow charged at Starlight and started to attack her. As the two hedgehogs attacked Starlight, used her magic to block every single attack they have her.

"Oh man Shadow, she is tough." Said Sonic .

"I know Sonic, but we know that this is the only way to save Twilight and Rainbow Dash." Said Shadow .

"If you two think you can stop me you are sadly mistaken." Said Starlight Glimmer, as she fired a magic beam right at Shadow.

"Shadow, watch it." Said Sonic, as he pushed Shadow out of the way he got hit by the magical beam and got sealed in a magical bubble.

"Sonic, are you ok?" Asked Shadow.

"Yeah, I'm ok Shadow."

Just then Sonic saw Starlight charging right at Shadow.

"Shadow, watch out behind you!"

Shadow was able to move out of the way just in time and then Shadow did a spinning kick right at Starlight's cheek which connected.

"Well, well, well, hedgehog you and the blue one are really good fighters. But you, you are the most powerful one but too bad you couldn't save your human friend named Maria."

When Shadow heard what Starlight just said he was shocked.

( Song ends)

"What, what did you just say?"

Starlight just laughed and said to Shadow.

"You heard me Shadow."

"But how do you know about her?" Shadow, asked.

"It was Nightmare Amy who told me about her, actually she told me everything about you and her and how you fails her and how you just let her die." Said Starlight.

"Hey you, don't you dare talk to Shadow like that he tried to save Maria but there was nothing he could do." Said Sonic. As he tried to get out of the magical bubble but to no avail.

Just then Starlight used her magic and created an image of Shadow and Maria which started to recreate what happened all those years ago. When Shadow watched he started to tear up a little remembering what happened to him and to her.

"No this cannot be not again." Said Shadow, as he fell to her knees.

As Sonic, Twilight, and Rainbow Dash watched Shadow struggling with himself they tried to reach out to him.

"Come on Shadow, don't let Starlight get to you remember it is not your fault you tried to help her you are a hero." Said Sonic.

"Sonic is right Shadow, don't remember the bad times remember the good times you have with her and the good times with us here and now." Said Twilight.

"Yeah come on Shadow don't let this wannabe pony get to you, you are far stronger then this and we know that your stronger then this remember what Maria said to you." Said Rainbow Dash.

Then suddenly Shadow heard Maria's voice.

"Shadow, those ponies need you Shadow, don't give up on them.

When Shadow heard that his eyes opened wide and suddenly he removed his rings on his wrist and then he exploded into a fiery rage.

"I am Shadow, Shadow the hedgehog."

(Go green ranger go from mighty morphin power rangers starts to play)

Just as Shadow said that he took off his rings on his wrist and started to attack Starlight Glimmer, with furious of punches and kicks which were connecting.

"Alright Shadow keep it up bro." Said Sonic.

" Yeah don't let up. " Said Twilight.

"Come on Shadow, you've got her." Said Rainbow Dash.

As Shadow continued to attack Starlight Glimmer he then as he stopped he looked at Starlight and said to her.

"You know Starlight, I almost gave up on myself back there but thanks to your picture show it reminded me of what I'm fighting for and that is my friends and for Maria."

And with that he continued to attack Starlight Glimmer with even more powerful punches and kicks. Then Shadow gave a really powerful punch which made smoke that looked a lot like Amy.

"Shadow, look she was being controlled by a spell. " Said Sonic.

"Well not anymore." Said Shadow, as he jumped up into the air and shouted.

"CHAOS FLAME FIST!!"

After he said that his punch connected and the smoke vanished.

"Alright Shadow, you did it." Said Twilight.

"Yeah, way to go bro." Said Sonic.

"Congrats Shadow, you did very well on defeating that pony." Said Rainbow Dash.

Just then Starlight Glimmer started to wake up.

"Hey guys, she is waking up. Said Twilight.

"Good I've got some questions for her." Said Shadow, as he started towards Starlight.

When Shadow got to her Starlight, rubbed her head.

"Oh my head. What happened to me?"

"You were under the control of Nightmare Moon, and I helped you." Said Shadow.

"Oh, now I remember. when I was walking around the village a strange dark pink hedgehog came up to me and put me under some kind of magic spell." Said Starlight.

"That would be our friend Amy Rose, she has been taking control by Nightmare Moon." Said Sonic.

"Well if what you say is true then I suggest that you all leave and take her down." Said Starlight.

"We will but first we have to wait for our other friends to find the rest of the elements of harmony." Said Shadow.

"Yeah, and we should get back to Canterlot." Said Twilight.

"Yeah, come on let's go everypony." Said Rainbow Dash.

With that the four friends teleported back to Canterlot Castle. Meanwhile Nightmare Amy looked on with her magic looking glass.

"So my former friends freed Twilight and Rainbow Dash. Well no matter there other friends won't be so lucky. HAHAHAHAHA!!!!"

Back at Canterlot Castle, ever pony was waiting for the Sonic heroes to return.

"Oh pony feather I can't just stay here and wait, I'm going out there to find my love." Said Flash, as he was getting ready to fly off, but Celestia stopped him.

"No Flash, we have to wait for Sonic and his friends cause if we don't we'll be putting them in danger."

Flash was about to protest but he knew that Celestia was right, just the there was a flash of light and there was Sonic, Shadow, Twilight, and Rainbow Dash.

"Welcome home everypony." Said Celestia.

"Twilight, your back." Said Flash, as he went up to Twilight and kissed her.

"It's good to see you to Flash." Said Twilight.

"Yeah we did it you guys we finally got Twilight and Rainbow back." Said Sonic.

Just then the mystery pony appeared again.

"Congrats you two on getting two of the six elements of harmony back now there are just four more left to bring back."

"Yes that is good and all but can you please just tell us just who you are?" Asked Shadow.

The mysterious pony just shook his head and said.

"Not yet young Shadow, but you will know who I am in do time but for now keep looking for your friends. You need them for the final fight against your friend and have any chance on bringing her back."

And with that he vanished.

"I'm, I wonder what he ment by that?" Asked Luna.

"I'm not sure but he is right we will need the rest of our friends if we are going to save equestria." Said Sonic, as he left to get some well deserved rest after what happened.

Author's Note

Sorry it took so long just lots of stuff has happened these past few years but now I'm back and ready to continue to make more stories.

Chapter 3: Knuckles' New Power

Knuckles and Nyx were flying to the coldest region of Equestria to see if Applejack and Rarity were there.

"Are you sure this is where Applejack and Rarity are Knuckles?" Asked Nyx.

"Well this is where that pony said they would be so we have no choice but to trust him." Said Knuckles.

"I hope that they are here it's freezing here." Said Nyx

Just then they came upon a big rock that had Applejack and Rarity's cutie make on it.

"Look Knuckles that rock has Applejack and Rarity's cutie marks on it, that must be where Applejack and Rarity are being held." Said Nyx.

"Yeah, you could be right Nyx. Come on let's go and check it out." Said Knuckles.

But before they could get close to the rock a magic blast stopped them in there tracks.

"Whoa, what in the world was that?" Asked Knuckles.

I think I know Knuckles."

But before Knuckles could say anything the ground split apart and a creature rose from it.

"What the, who are you?" Knuckles , asked.

The creature laughed and said.

"I am Terik and I'm here to make sure that you don't get your friends back."

"Oh yeah? Well we'll see about that." Said Knuckles, as he started to attack Terik.

(Trust theme of skill from the Ronin Warriors starts to play)

"Alright Terik, let's see if you can handle this." Said Knuckles, as he attempted to punch him.

But then Terik blocked it with his hand with no problem.

"Huh, what the?" Said Knuckles , as he did fury punches to try and hit Terik, but Terik just blocked every single one of Knuckles punches.

"No way, no one has ever stopped my fury punches before." Said Knuckles, in shock.

" Well to bad for you, you little red rodent, now take this."

Just as Terik said that his horns glowed and then he fired an energy blast right at Knuckles.

"KNUCKLES, WATCH OUT!!!!" Shouted Nyx.

Knuckles was able to move out of the way just in time before the attack could hit him.

"Knuckles, are you alright?" Asked Nyx.

"Yeah, I'm fine but man he is more powerful then I thought." Said Knuckles.

"You have got to save Applejack and Rarity, maybe they can help us out here with Tirek." Said Nyx.

"Good idea Nyx, alright let's do it." Said Knuckles, as he put on his metal gloves and was heading towards the rock.

"My metal knuckles will crack this rock like an egg. Come on Applejack and Rarity, I need you guy's help out here." He said as his metal knuckles made contact with the rock but nothing happened.

"What the, it didn't work?" Said Knuckles, shocked.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA, too bad so sad my friend but I will still give you an A for Effort. And now watch this as I kill your friends in that rock." Said Tirek, as he created a sword out of magic and plunged it into the rock.

"What, no please don't." Cried Nyx, but it was to late as the sword started to go into the rock.

"Aw would look at that, my magical sword is looking for their hearts and when it does goodbye elements of generosity and honesty HAHAHAHAHAHAHA."

"You won't get away with this Tirek." Said Knuckles , as he changed right at Tirek, but then Tirek blasted Knuckles with his magic and it knocked him and Nyx off the mountain.

(Music ends)

"Now that it's over all I have to do now is wait until the elements of generosity and honesty are dead and I can leave this place and go after the rest of the elements of harmony." Said Tirek, as he vanished.

Meanwhile at the bottom of the cliff Knuckles and Nyx were unconscious on the ground, just then the pony from before appeared and spoke.

"Knuckles the Echidna, there is a power deep within you it's called the hand of fate. But to acquire this power you must first achieve the concentration of both mind and spirit. You must believe that the power is inside you now, you must conquer the demons within before battling the ones outside."

After that the pony vanished and then Knuckles and Nyx started to wake up.

"Oh man was that real or did I just imagine it? No it wasn't I can feel the power within me." Said Knuckles, to himself.

Just then Nyx woke up.

"Hey Knuckles, was I dreaming or was that voice that I heard real." Nyx, asked.

"No Nyx, you weren't I heard it too and it said that I have a power called the hand of fate and that it could help Applejack and Rarity." Said Knuckles.

"Do you believe what the voice said Knux." Asked Nyx.

"Yes I do Nyx, and I know it's the only way to help our friends." Said Knuckles.

Then Knuckles saw Nyx climbing up the mountain and then she turned to him and said.

"Knuckles, do what you have to do. But do it now, the only way your going to get a shot is if I lead Tirek away from that rock. Knuckles, we have to do it this way."

"Your nuts Nyx, there is no way I'm going to let you do this."

But Nyx Just shook her head at Knuckles and said to him.

"You know I'm not Knuckles, I have to do it, and don't forget that I can still transform myself into a grown up version of myself. And anyway this is the only way we can save Applejack and Rarity, so please Knuckles let me do this for my aunties please."

Knuckles looked at Nyx and then agreed.

"Thanks Knuckles, you won't regret this." Said Nyx, as she walked away to find Tirek.

"I just hope I'm not making a mistake here Twilight wouldn't forgive me if something were to happen to Nyx." Said Knuckles to himself.

As Knuckles began to meditate to awake his new power Nyx began to look for Tirek, and it wasn't long until she find him guarding the rock that Applejack and Rarity were in.

"Hey Tirek, over here." Said Nyx.

Tirek heard Nyx and turned around.

"Ah the daughter of Twilight Sparkle, how fun will it be to kill the daughter of a princess."

"If you think you are going to kill me you've got another thing coming Tirek." Said Nyx, as she transformed into her grown-up self and charged at Tirek.

(The game by Disturbed starts to play)

As Nyx charged at Tirek, she fired a magic blast right at him but he was quickly able to block her attack.

"Ha, nice try girl but your gonna have to do better then that." Said Tirek, as he changed right at Nyx.

Nyx tried to put up a shielding spell to protect herself but Tirek managed to shatter it to a million pieces. Meanwhile Knuckles, was meditating to try to awaken his hidden power.

"I must draw all of my energy together."

Back with Tirek and Nyx, Tirek was hurting Nyx pretty badly With every attack he had until he grabbed Nyx by her throat and started to choke her.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA, I have to give you credit girl you are strong but not strong enough to stop me now to lure Knuckles from hidding so I can kill you both." Said Tirek as he continued to strangle Nyx, who was grasping for air.

As Nyx, was struggling to free herself from Tirek, Knuckles meanwhile was having a vision of her in struggle.

"What the? Is this real? Oh on Nyx is in trouble."

"I know your out there somewhere Knuckles, show yourself or the girl dies."

"Please don't answer Knuckles, Applejack and Rarity, you must save Applejack and Rarity." Cried Nyx.

After hearing Nyx, Knuckles knew he had no choice so he continued to meditate to unlock his new power. As Knuckles continued to meditate Tired looked at the rock where he plunge the sword in to kill Applejack and Rarity and said.

"Um, those poines in the rock should be dead by now. Knuckles hear me now only the girl is left to save."

"No they are not Knuckles, I know they are still alive you can still save them just forget about me and think about Applejack, Rarity, and the rest of the elements of harmony." Said Nyx, as she was gasping for air.

As Knuckles, heard Nyx say that he felt his new power awake inside of him.

"I, I can feel my new power it's now in me. Alright just hold on just a little longer Nyx, cause here I come."

(Song ends and Wildfire swords - sou en zan [Stardust eyes] from the Ronin warriors starts to play)

After Knuckles said that he jumped up out of the water where he was hidding and used his power to free Nyx from Tirek's magic. And when he did he felt different and stronger then ever before.

"Wow, this power. I've never felt this kind of power in me before." Said Knuckles.

Then Knuckles put Nyx, who was unconscious down and turned to face Tirek, who was smiling evilly at him.

"Now that you are here you fool I'm going to tear your flesh from your bones." Said Tirek, as he charged at Knuckles and fired a beam of magic at him. But Knuckles, was able t block it and then he jumped up into the air and shouted.

"HAND....OF....FATE...."

As Knuckles said those words his hand started to glow red and then he started towards the rock where Applejack and Rarity were in and then he gave the rock a hard punch.

"Hanusty and generosity now."

When Knuckles said that the energy from his fist went inside the rock and when it did Tirek's magical sword vanished and Applejack and Rarity started to wake up.

Meanwhile Knuckles then moved back from the rock and waited to see if his power was able to wake up Applejack and Rarity. But when nothing happened Tirek just laughed at Knuckles and said to him.

"Ha, your resurrection failed you fool. Applejack and Rarity don't want to come back to life. But you all will meet again in the land of the dead."

But before Tirek could attack Knuckles the ground started to shake.

"What the? It can't be."

Just then the rock started to split open.

"But, but how?"

Then Tirek jumped up into the air and then Applejack and Rarity came out of the rock.

"No this can't be, you two suppose to be dead." Said Tirek, as he charged at the two.

But Applejack and Rarity used their elements and then they fired their elements' power and when they did Tirek got hit by the elements' power and then he vanished while screaming. As the smoke cleared Applejack and Rarity turned around to see Knuckles who was happy to see them.

"Applejack, Rarity, oh thank goodness you two are safe."

"Yeah, thanks to you Knux." Said Applejack.

"Yeah, that's fine for you Applejack but Knuckles, what did you have to wake me up? I mean I was having this great dream." Said Rarity.

Knuckles chuckled at Rarity and said to her.

"Yeah, and you need your beauty sleep."

At this Applejack laughed while Rarity just chuckled just then they saw Nyx starting to wake up.

"Oh man what happened?" Nyx, said while she was getting up.

Then she saw Applejack and Rarity standing next to Knuckles and they were all smiling.

"Applejack, Rarity, oh thank goodness you two are safe." Said Nyx, as she came up to them to hug them.

"Yeah, thanks to Knux we are just fine Nyx." Said Applejack.

"Oh it was nothing Applejack." Said Knuckles.

"Well what do you say we go home everypony." Said Rarity.

They all nodded in agreement and with her magic Rarity transported them back to Canterlot Castle. Meanwhile at the castle everyone and everypony were waiting for the rest of the rescue team with rest of the elements of harmony. Then suddenly a flash of light filed the room and when it comes they saw Knuckles and Nyx with Applejack and Rarity.

"Knuckles, Nyx, your back and you rescued Applejack and Rarity." Said Celestia.

"Yes we did your majesty and that's not all I've got a new power." Said Knuckles.

"Really that's great Knuckle head." Said Sonic, as he hit Knuckles on the back.

"Watch it Sonic or I'll use my new power on you next." Said Knuckles.

"Know we just have to wait for Sunset and Tails hopefully they will find Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy." Said Luna.

"Don't worry sister they will find them." Said Celestia.

Back at Nightmare Amy's castle Nightmare Amy was watching the Sonic heroes in her looking glass and shouted.

"So you fools think you are so smart huh? Well no matter your other friends won't get past my next guard who is guarding your last two friends." Said Nightmare Amy, as she turned to a dark figure in the dark corner of the palace.

"Are you ready Discord?" She asked.

Discord smile evilly and started out of the palace.
