Chasing Timberwolves! Hints of Darkness?

TV-PG-DV

  Sonic had just sped through the market with all the stuff Twilight needed. Quills, parchment, 2 tons of ink, and food. He got up to the cash register. "Hey there beautiful. Mind getting this stuff checked out?"

  Sonic was horrified to see the mare he just talked to, was in fact a stallion. "Are you implying your gay for me?!"

  Sonic had a look of sheer terror. "Nothing!" He left the place leaving behind 2 gems. Don't ask how he got them. I'm the author, and I don't even know. "Whew. That almost got ugly," he said. "Gotta just say to those who need it. Like Twilight..." He then started blushing, but then heard something. "What are you thinking?! Being in love with a pastel color horse?!" He noticed the voice sounded like Knuckles. He shrugged it off, thinking he's just hearing voices.

...

  "Are you sure this is safe?" asked Apple Bloom. Diamond Tiara had wanted to try out Scootaloo's scooter, as her mother never let her try out anything fun.

  "Apple Bloom, I'm sure I'll be fine! It did get inspected when you got it Scootaloo, right?" replied Diamond Tiara.

  Scootaloo had a face of sarcasm. "Obviously, otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to buy it!"

  After she said it, Diamond Tiara had scooted to far off a cliff and started falling.

  "Then again we should have been AWAY from a cliff."

  Apple Bloom facehoofed.

...

  Sonic was on his way to Twilight's with the groceries. He had went to 6 different markets to get him. He even had to scam a scammer to get one of the items. But it was worth it. While he was running, he noticed a filly falling off a cliff. He couldn't just run off from it. He put the groceries in his backpack he took with him, and ran to help the filly. He jumped, then air boosted to catch her.

  The filly opened her eyes to see that she wasn't dead. "Thanks for saving me, um, blue hedgehog?"

  "Just call me Sonic," he replied, then sped off.

...

  Twilight was just reading a book when Sonic came back. She noticed how it didn't take Sonic long to get them. "Wow, I knew you were fast, but that was even faster!"

  "Nothing at all Twily," said Sonic.

  Twilight looked embarrassed at the name. "Oh, um..."

  "Does someone else call you that?"

  Twilight looked down. "Yeah, my big brother. I hardly see him much since he runs an empire and has a daughter to take care of."

  Sonic looked on with a feeling of misery in her words. "Alright, so you don't see your brother much, but you got your friends, and you do still see him right?"

  Twilight nodded.

  "So there's no need to worry. Plus, you got me," Sonic said as he put his arm around Twilight. Twilight giggled, as Sonic took it off. "So, you got any TVs anywhere?"

  Twilight's eyes widened. "TV?"

  "Wait, you mean to tell me, you have no television?!"

  "I have no idea what that is. Normally, we just read and walk around."

  Sonic facepalmed. "Remind me to request a meeting with who ever rules you about it."

  "Princess Celestia." Suddenly, Twilight's eyes widened again. "Oh my gosh! I forgot to tell her about you! I got a meeting to schedule for it, then I have to show you around Ponyville, and I have to get Pinkie Pie to add the princesses to the guest list!"

   As Sonic watched Twilight scamper around, with bloodshot eyes and a frizzed mane, he grew a face of concern, as Spike walked by with the laundry. "Is she usually like that Spike?"

   Spike nodded. "Sometimes she's even more than that."

   Sonic went up to Twilight. "Twilight, calm down. You don't have to get worked up about it. Just relax."

   Twilight got even more upset. "But what if she gets mad at me? What if she strips me of my princess title?! What if she sends me to the moon for a thousand years?!!"

   'They can do that? Ruthless.' He smiled. "Calm down. She's not gonna do that. She cares about you as much as I care about you. No one would ever do that to you." Twilight calmed down and smiled. "Oh dear god. Here, let me get that mane for you." Sonic grabbed a brush and went through the many frizzes. "You know, you really ought to let your mane down more. You look good enough now, but I bet a new manestyle would make you look better."

   Twilight blushed. 'Wow. I never noticed how great he is. Maybe I should just confess now,' she thought. "Sonic, I've been meaning to say this for a while now, but, I've been having this weird feeling for the past few days, and I just wanted to say...."

   Before she could finish, a ditzy mare Pegasus was seen running. "Timberwolves!!!"

   Twilight grew a face of worry, while Sonic looked on with confusion. "Timberwolves?! Oh no!!"

   "Uh, what's a timberwolf?" asked Sonic.

   "A timberwolf is a magical dog made of timber, or wood. They are most commonly seen stalking in the Everfree Forest, and very rarely do they come out." Twilight got a nod from Sonic. "Stay here. I need to get my friends to..."

   "Now hold on," started Sonic, giving Twilight a confused look. "I've fought against tyrannical rulers, a being made of water, and became King Arthur himself. I've also dealt with an ice age business mogul, an ugly Ixis Wizard, and a being feeding off of dark emotions. Giant dogs made of wood, I'm pretty sure I can handle that."

   Twilight was about to make a counter statement, but she figured that if he did all that, (she'd have to ask about the King Arthur thing) he could take on timberwolves. "Alright Sonic. Just be careful."

   "Don't you worry Twi!"

   Twilight smiled and flew off, while Sonic grinned and sped off.

...

   At the eastern side of Ponyville, there were 3 Timberwolves attacking town hall. There were 5 mares keeping the wooden dogs busy.

   "Ah can strangle you wusses into next Saturday!" yelled Applejack.

   "Although a lady doesn't give into violence, lay one claw on Spikey-Wikey and I WILL murder you!" screamed Rarity.

   "Oh please mister Timberwolf, could you maybe go back to the Everfree Forest and not terrorize Equestria?" asked Fluttershy.

   "Put 'em up ya big mutts!! For my party cannon!!!!" yelled Pinkie Pie.

   Rainbow Dash was getting worried. "Cmon Twi, this thing isn't gonna be still for long."

   A blue blur and purple Alicorn arrived. Twilight spoke up. "Timberwolves! As princess of Equestria, I demand you cease your attack and return to the forest where you belong!"

   The wolf snarled and growled at the mares and blur. "I guess its smashy time now," said Sonic. He went up and spin dashed through the wolf. "One down, two to go...."

   The smashed wolf pieced himself back together, looking like nothing had hit him. "They can reanimate?!"

   Twilight grew nervous. "I probably should have mentioned it before." Twilight grew an idea. "Sonic, do you think you could distract the Timberwolves for us?"

   "I could. Old butt smack and boost oughta do that! But how could that destroy them?"

   "It doesn't. While your doing your... thing... I'll research the spell I found that could temporarily stabilize them for 20 years. We'll have to fight them every 20 years or so, but at least they won't be a threat to Equis till then."

   "Got it!" Sonic went up to the wolf and stuck his tongue out at it. "Hey timbermutt! I'm the fresh meat you want!" he said, as he slapped his butt. The girls couldn't help but giggle.

...

   As Sonic boosted around, with the wolves chasing him, Twilight looked through the books she had, when she came across the spell.

   'A spell that stabilizes living beings for 5-20 years. The spell can cause extreme danger to whomever casts it, as it requires a lot of dark magic to use, along with the power of all 4 alicorns.'

   Twilight breathed in, as she closed her eyes, put the Alicorn Amulet around her neck, and thought to herself. 'I hate resorting to this, but my friends need me.' When she opened her eyes, they were green with purple mist flowing out.

   Applejack thought to herself. 'I'm not sure that amulet is a good idea to wear, but I trust Twilight can handle it.

   Twilight went up to Sonic and gave him a thumbs up, as he sped away, and Twilight released her spell on the wooden dogs, and they were stabilized. Everyone was happy. "It worked! The spell worked!" All the mares cheered on as Sonic hugged Twilight. "Hey, I thought you hated group hugs?"

   "Eh, least I could do."

   All the cheers were soon died down, as the wolves unstabilized, and started moving again. Everyone was shocked at the sight.

   "H.. How?!?! I did exactly what the book said!" said Twilight. A dark thought appeared in Twilight's head. 'Books can't always be right. If you had more power, you would have been able to KILL it.'

  The one wolf swung at Twilight, causing her to fall to the ground, with her mouth and a cut in her hoof oozing blood.

  "Twilight!" Sonic went to up to help her, but also got swung by one, his mouth also bleeding. The wolves went back to terrorizing the mares, while Sonic looked on. He grew angry the more he saw it. 'These wolves are gonna kill my friends.... NO! Not again!' His fur began to blacken, as his eyes began to lose his pupils. "I will not let you kill my loved ones!" He unleashed a wave of Chaotic energy causing the wolves to explode into little remnants. As he saw the wolves gone, his fur went back to its normal color, as he fell to the ground. 'Good...'

  As everyone looked up, they saw the Timberwolves were gone. They also noticed that Sonic had fallen to the ground. Twilight and Tails ran up to him to see if he was still alive. A simple blink told them he was alive. Twilight started crying, as Sonic held onto her.

   "I think it's time we told them everything," said Tails.
