SONIC SEZ SAYS: There will not be any major gore or SonicxRainbowDash, mostly because the latter is super cliche.

"Arrival; Super Sonic Strikes Back"

Rainbow Dash was doing her daily fly-by over Ponyville when she noticed a strange blue creature lying unconscious in the grass.

I should probably get Fluttershy...she thought, turning and flying off in the opposite direction.

Eventually, the two pegasi came back to the grassy field and the unconscious hedgehog.

"Oh, my; is he okay?" asked the timid yellow one.

"If he were okay, he'd be conscious!!" Rainbow replied. She flew towards the lake, scooped some water into a bucket and dumped it on the hedgehog.

Rodney/Sonic's P.O.V.

GACK!! UGH!! PTOOEY!! YECCH!!!

Is this flat-chested tomboy dike trying to drown me? BLIMEY!!

Although....the yellow lady has nice knockers, so that's something impressive.

I sit up, dazed. "So...you got anything to eat?"

The yellow one gapes in shock. "You...you can talk?"

"Where I come from, all animals can talk; that's how it is on Planet Mobius!" I replied.

"Who are you, anyway?" Asked the blue one.

I  leap to my feet with a flourish.  "I'm Sonic the Hedgehog: the Fastest Thing Alive!!"

Silence. Hmm...they must be shocked by my coolness.

Then, laughter. It's the blue one.

"I'm sorry, but you're only 2nd-fastest.  I happen to be first." she grins.

"Yeah, maybe in the air, flat-chest. But what about on the ground?"

In an instant, the tables have turned.

Before the conversation can continue, a mint pony runs up.

"There's a Changeling showdown in the Badlands!!" she yells.

The blue one--Rainbow Dash seems eager, but I figure I won't go nuts from boredom if there's somebody to fight in this world and it's not just all 'tea parties and sunshine'. Can you imagine?  YECCH!! NASTIER THSM ROBOTNIK OR ANY EGG!!

"Hasta la vista, meestah!!" I yell as I snag a map from her satchel and spin-dash away into the distance.

Eventually, I reach the Badlands and spot an entire chasm full of these weirdo dog-men fighting these freaky-looking bug-horses. And at the center is the biggest, UGLIEST bug horse of all.

Must be the queen or something. Either way, I leap into the fray.

You know something?  This fight is gonna be fast and furious. How so? I'm gonna go fast, and Queen Bughorse is gonna be FURIOUS!!

Hehe....that was a classic one.

Where were we? Oh, yes...Sonic had leapt into the fight and had begun dominating the competition.  Everywhere he was, Changelings were knocked and thrown about, and Diamond Dogs were pummeled and tossed.

The Elements of Harmony had come to settle the fight, but upon seeing how great the blue blur was doing, they simply left him to his fun while they observed from the sidelines.  Somehow, Pinkie had made them all popcorn.

"And the winner: Sonic the Hedgehog!!! Who's ready to take on the numero uno reigning champeen?  C'mon, c'mon; well? I'm waaaaitiiiinnnngggg!!!" The spunky little hedgehog drawled as he flexed his arms  in triumph.

You see, Sonic had learned many, many times that to be cocky could mean one's own defeat. But as much as he learned it, he had a tendency to forget that lesson sometimes.

Of course, this was one of those times.

Queen Chrysalis stepped up, popping her knuckles. "Well then, child--if it's a fight you want, then I may as well grant your wish."

Sonic curled into a ball, and began spinning towards the Changelings' queen. She levitate the spiky blue ball into the air with her horn, and slammed the hedgehog against the wall of a cavern.

Struggling, Sonic got to his feet. "Is that....the best...you can...do...?" he wheezed.

Chrysalis began to growl. "Nothing but a warm-up, Spikeball!!" she raised her arm, lifting Sonic into the air.  She lifted her middle finger, which engulfed Sonic in green flames.

The Elements of Harmony were mortified, save for Rainbow Dash, who was smirking with arrogance.

But before she could fly in and beat up Chrysalis, the green fire burst into cinders, revealing a golden hedgehog with spirals in his otherwise blank eyes.

Any Mobian knew that you'd need to have some kind of death wish to deal with the power-packed demonic superbeing known as 'Super Sonic'.

Too bad nobody else from Mobius was there to tell them that --it would have really helped.

"Trying to turn up the heat on old Super, eh?" Chuckled the demonic super-being in a way that made him sound like Super Buu after he absorbed Gohan.  "Well, I can take the heat, so I STAY in the kitchen!!"

He lunged at Chrysalis with such speed that nobody even saw him move. At the next second, he'd just connected his fist with Chrysalis' jaw.

"Oh, my fist-bone connected with your jawbone, and my knee-bone connects with your pelvic bone...." he sang as he kneed Chrysalis in her pelvic area.

The Queen of the Changelings dropped to the ground, paralyzed.  It was then that Super Sonic (or Super the Majin-hog) noticed the ponies on the sideline.

Then, he got an evil smile. "Oh, good; more bugs to squish! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!"

He cupped his palm and began to form an energy ball. "Now, hold still, little ponies; this will only hurt for a second...'cause that's how long you'll live to feel the pain!!"

"STOP!! YOU'RE SONIC THE HEDGEHOG!!! DEFENDER OF THE SLOW, PROTECTOR OF THE RUNTS!!" Twilight yelled.

"But how do you know who--" RD started.

"Pinkie told me, DUH!!"  replied the studious alicorn as Super Sonic's chaos energy began to run dry. Soon, he had returned to normal.

"Oh, no...I went super again, didn't I?" he guessed.

"Bing-bing-bing, we have a winner," Pinkie grinned.

"What was that 'Super Sonic' state of yours, and where did it come from?" Asked Twilight.

"Well, okay...but listen good, pixel-brains. See, it all started when I was younger. I had just beaten Dr. Robotnik, and we were trying to figure out what to do with the Chaos Emeralds. Then, they started giving off radiation waves that turned me into the yellow maniac you just saw. They gave off the radiation because the magic rings I collected were full of dark energy, which the Emeralds absorbed. I turned into that psychopath several times more, and I have been hoping that I never had to resort to becoming him ever again, but whenever I find myself in a tight spot, Super just comes out to play,"

The Mane Six were stupefied by the recent discovery.  So Sonic could become that rampaging psychopath anytime his backs against the wall?

Then Pinkie popped up and smiled,  "I also made NACHOS!!"

It went without saying that now was not the time for nachos.

Living Arrangements

As the Mane Six carried the exhausted little hedgehog back to Sweet Apple Acres, the gang had to make his ...living arrangements.

"So...why does he have to stay at mah house?" Applejack asked.

"He can't stay with me because only Pegasi can walk on clouds, he can't live with Fluttershy because she might get a little TOO friendly, not Rarity because of Sweetie Belle, not Pinkie due to her weirdness,  and not Twilight because she has a lot of work to do!!"

"Rainbow Dash, I have work to do as well,"

"Oh...right."

Sonic was kinda left on the sidelines for this, because even though it involved a lot of movement, all work and no play did make Sonic a very dull hedgehog.

He hadn't been as livid in years as he was at that very moment.

Knuckles and the Nerdlucks

It was an unusual, different, completely out of the ordinary kind of day.

And why?

Because there wasn't anything big going on since Sonic's arrival, which had been a month ago.

And of course, when there's nothing exciting happening, Sonic just doesn't like it at all.

"UUUUUUGGGGHHHH.....!!!" he groaned loudly.  "Man, I am bored. No changelings, no giant beasts, no nothing of the sort! Just--euggh---peace and quiet. Blegh!! Chunkage containment, engaged."

The irritated little hedgehog started to work over a punching bag that belonged to Big Macintosh. Eventually he got tired of that.

When Apple Bloom decided to show him to all her little friends, he got tired of that, too...just sooner than the first thing.

No matter what he did, he was likely to get bored in a Sonic Second and just bail out on the whole thing.

Then, he got an idea.

After a quick visit to Zecora, Sonic managed to get a cassette player, headphones, and a cassette of Devo's rendition of the song 'Witch Doctor', which he went back to Sweet Apple Acres to listen to.

Youtube Video

Ah...nothing like chilling with my favorite jam, *thought Sonic as he sat on the barn’s roof.*

However, he barely noticed the cometlike streak that came down from the sky a few feet away with a CRASH!

Although, it did catch his attention when the vibrations from the crash shook him off the roof.

***YES!! FINALLY, SOME FUN!!* Sonic thought to himself, rushing towards the crash site.**

When he arrived, he saw that the spaceship looked like a car.

And out of the craft came a quintet of short, stubby aliens in the following colors: orange, blue, red, green and purple, followed by a familiar-looking red Echidna.

"KNUCKLES?!"
