Trying to Escape

In the cell, Colin was weeping in his cell silently. He just wanted to go home back to his friends and family, no matter how oddly flattering his little cell was. He can only hope that Celestia, Luna, and everyone he loved and cared about will figure a way to help him out of this hellhole. He looked out the window and saw that he was in the sky, making him queasy to his stomach and liver. "This.... feels like an airplane." he thought to himself "But, not as fast, and it's a little lower in the sky."

He then wondered how he is in a big fortress like this, and how nopony can even notice it.

At last, he went over the glass keeping him inside and looked around the hallway. "Excuse me, mister monster." he said to the bodyguard from before "Please, let me out. I beg you. I don't belong here."

"My name is Krusha, remember?" he said annoyingly. "Anyway, no. Forget it, kid. This is were you belong now."

"But, there has to be a way out of here. Let me out!" he began to talk a little louder. Just then, Krusha punched the wall next to the boy's cell, making him jump back with fear.

"There is no way out! So get used to it! I don't wanna here you whining, got it?!"

Colin gulped and quietly replied "Yes sir."

"Good." Krusha said more calmly "That's a good boy. Oh, and don't even think about trying to escape, because if you do try anything, just anything, mind you, then....."

"What?"

"You don't really want to know what I will do." Not as loud as before when he punched the wall, he added in his tough voice "Now I want some quiet! Go and play with your.... toys or something!"

Colin gulped "Yes sir."

"Good."The creature looked really intimidating to him, and if there was one thing certain he would know of, it would be not to cross him or make him angry. He was too scared to even imagine what he would even do to him if he didn't "Behave" in their own way of saying it.

Then he heard footsteps echoing in the hallway "Krusha, Krusha!" Said a man's voice.

The bodyguard sighed "what is it now, York? I'm a little busy guarding the kid right now."

"The boss wants to have a word with ya."

Krusha "oh, very well." Then he turned back to Colin "excuse me, kid, i'll be back in a little while. Don't go anywhere, like you would even have a choice anyway." He gave a cruel chuckle. Then all Colin heard was the footsteps of Krusha and York leaving the room until they faded, and silence swept across the hallway.

The boy was looking around for a way out, and tried to pull the window bars off, but to no avail, then he realized that he would fall to the ground if he got out through there. He sighed sadly, and walked over to play with at least one of his action figures, then he stumbled and tripped.

The air vent opening suddenly came open when Colin's arm incidentally slided over it. The vent was big enough for a small body like him to fit through and crawl in. He was thinking for a second and maybe, maybe, he might get out of here sooner than he imagined before he entered, he had another thought.

"Wait, what if they know i'm gone?" Then he realized that with a basketball, one or two puzzle boxes might be the trick to fool Krusha and the other guards. He took the ball and two boxes and pulled them under the covers of the bed. With this, he can make George and his henchmen think he is sleeping

With a breath, Colin slowly crawled through the vent, and quietly put it back from within so no one will know he came out through there. He looked for any passageways that could lead him out of George's lair. He went deeper and deeper, until finally, he found a peculiar light on the right side of him.

The light became brighter and brighter and he peaked through the opening. Colin was worried that some guards might walk through the place. "I wonder if any mean guards are in here. He examined the place outside and saw that it was a room with things that a boy would like to have, like toys, action figures and comics, and other fun things, but unlike any other boys room, it had some lethal weapons hung on the wall.

That could only mean one thing:

"Thus must be George's room." Colin whsipered. He quietly pushed the lid open and silently crawled out of the vent. He landed in a rather clumsy fashion, but luckilly, no one heard it.

The other thing the room a little boys wouldn't have would be the bed. It was a large, regal king-sized matress, and the covers were royal red. This bed looked like it was meant for a king, a young evil king.

"I admit, those pies were delicious." Said a voice from out of the room

"Someone's coming!" Colin yelled in his head. He looked for a hiding spot, and went under the bed, making it a perfect place for him to hide.

The door opened, and he saw goat hind legs, and tiger front legs. It was the chimera that helped kidnap Colin in the first place. "Yesssss, so deliciousssss." Said the snake.

"So, what do you think George would do to that kid when he rules everything?" Asked the goat

"That's beyond me. Maybe something bad of course." The tiger remarked. "Maybe he will kill that kid when he is done trying to invade Equestria."

"Or maybe make him into a personal pet forced to do tricks." The goat theorized

"One thing issss certain that we will have to wait and ssssee." The snake concluded

"Yeah. You're right. Maybe George will make something useful out of Colin."

"Good point. Come on, let's go. We gotta give that boy his special gun." Then the chimera took one of the weapons from the racks and went out the bedroom door.

After a few seconds, Colin whispered to himself "they're gone." Then silently came out from under the mattress. He wanted out of the beast's bedroom and out of his personal domain, too. He slowly opened the door, making slight creaking noises, and looked left and right to see if the coast was clear, and it was.

The boy tip-toed down the corridor and looked at his surroundings for any danger that might lurk ahead. He went left, back against the wall, trying to be as sneaky as possible. "Where do I go now?" he said really quietly. "If only Johnny was here, he would think of something."

He went straight up and found a room with a door open. Should he look inside? or are any of George's goons in there? Thanks to his curiosity that every boy his age would have, he slowly peeked through, and saw that it was the locker room. He tip-toed in the quietest footsteps he can do, and looked around for any danger.

"Come on, Pavilion." said a voice from outside that sounded like a girl. "We have to make this work."

Panicked, Colin looked around for any hiding spots and found a slightly opened locker, and silently went inside. He was just in time when they came in the room. He got a little peak at them, and one of them was a girl that looked human, but had demonic wings on her back.

"That kid's better off useless. It might take a little more than Colin Fraser to force Celestia to surrender. Maybe somepony like Prince Blueblood, Shadow Mavis."

"No. You heard my evil boyfriend, Pavilion, George made it clear." the girl replied

Colin looked a little dumbfounded "That's George's girlfriend. I better not let her know that I escaped." he said in his brain.

"With Colin as the hostage, Celestia, and all the others ponies would not bother trying to stop us. They wouldn't even forgive themselves if we did the slightest little pinch on him. Besides, he's kind of cute."

Colin, still in the locker, flushed at her comment. "Cute?" he thought. "Ah, what am I thinking? My heart belongs to Scootaloo."

"Okay okay, because your boyfriend is the boss of us all, we might as well listen to what he tells us to do."

"What my boyfriend says goes."

"Alright. "So, we might as well look and see how George is doing at the moment, eh?"

"Yep." then they both left the locker room with the door closed.

Colin sighed in relief "Whew, that was close." he murmured. Colin slowly got out the locker and silently opened the door again, looking left, then right.

This fortress looked really complex to him, that he couldn't really decide where to go next, finally, he made up his mind, Colin went down a staircase, and saw another three way hallway. He decided to go right, and then peaked for anyone who might find him Then, his heart stopped when he saw a guard with a sword and lantern, looking mighty stern. He hid behind a wall and slowly creeped away when the lantern was getting brighter

"Someone's coming!" Colin thought loudly in his head. He went to another hallway when he saw the lantern in view. The guard looked around suspiciously, and thought he heard something

"Hello?" called the guard. "Is anyone there?" he pulled out his sword "Come out!" he ordered. All that he heard was dead silence, and put his blade back in his scabbard. "Heh, must be hearing things. pttf, Krusha doesn't really pay me enough to do this job" then he turned the other way he came from. Colin sighed again, and quietly sneaked past him while still on guard duty.

As he kept snooping down the area, he noticed the wall was becoming a little more darker, and looked to his left to see the throne room he was put in before when he met George. Then, he heard a few more voices coming this way. Now where was he going to hide?

Then he found a cabinet and hid in it. He peeked through the opening and saw Krusha and George together, walking in the throne room. When they went in, Colin came out from the cabinet and hid behind the large door.

"Come on, boss, I don't even think that kid would even help us rule Equestria." said Krusha's voice.

"Sure he will. With him on our side, the kingdom down below will be all ours! Just have faith in me. Have I ever been wrong before?"

"Touche." Krusha replied. "I suppose you're right. I imagine the look on their faces when they see we have Colin as our hostage." he chuckled

"I know. It will be so sweet."

Then through another set of doors, footsteps were heard sprinting in the throne room. "George! George!" it sounded like the demonic girl he had seen before. "Colin Fraser's escaped!"

"What?" George said "That's impossible. How could he have gotten out? That cell is locked tighter than a regular bank safe."

"That's what I want to know." said Pavilion.

"Well no matter, he won't escape. He's like me, except I am in charge here. Krusha, Pavilion, look for Freddy, Chica, Bonnie, and Foxy, muster the guard and look for him. I want him to know what happens to him when he doesn't..... cooperate to say the least." George instructed.

"Yes sir." Krusha said. "I'll make sure we find him."

Then they all scattered "And Shadow Mavis, my cute queen, you come with me."

"Of course my love." then they all went out of the throne room as well. Colin was now in a heavy pickle here

"They know I'm out!" he thought. "This is so bad." he felt like screaming and panicking, but he stayed strong within himself, and went down a few more hallways quietly. After many more areas and rooms of sneaking, a guard finally found him

"Hey you! Stop!" said the guard. He was with a dozen other men by his side, and they began chasing after the boy. Colin ran as fast as he could up a staircase.

"Get back here, kid!" said another guard."

"Don't let him escape!" said a third

Colin went to another left and had to think of another place he can hide. He didn't have very long, for the soldiers were not far behind him. Finally, he saw another open door, and quietly went inside without the goons knowing, silently closing it. He kept himself as silent as possible, and heard the sound of running feet go past him

"He went this way!"

"Over here!"

The sound of drumming feet died down, and they were gone. Before he can come out however, he heard a weird singing

Colin gasped, but was still silent, and looked behind him to see another locker room. Of course, there was always an opened one, and quietly went to the one close to the door.

When it opened, he was horrified. There were four animatronics that consisted of a brown bear with a small top hat, a blue rabbit with a bow-tie, a fox with an eyepatch and hook on his right hand like a pirate, and a chick like animitronic with a bib on her chest that said "Let's eat!"

"Hmm, That's funny. I thought I heard the boy in this room." said the fox in a regal voice. "After all, I have an exquisite sense of hearing.

"No matter." said the bear in a low voice. "I'm pretty sure he is still running somewhere. Let's go look in another room."

"Wait, shouldn't we look in one of these lockers, Freddy?" said the rabbit

"No, they are always kept closed and locked at all times, Bonnie." said the chick, having a woman's voice.

"Chica's right. Come on, Foxy, let's use more of your useful hearing to find the kid." said the bear

"Of course Freddy." Then they left the room.

Colin got out of the locker, and thought that he had never seen robots like this before. He wondered if they were like part of a Chuck E Cheeses like place, but he decided to not think about it to much, and just get the hell out of here. He quietly opened the door, and continued sneaking on.

When he wasn't looking however, he bumped into someone. He rubbed his head "Ow."

"Well, there you are, Colin." he looked and it was George himself, looking rather evilly happy to see him "Trying to escape, I suppose?"

"Ummmm, no." Colin replied weakly

George chuckled evilly "Come on, Colin. We all know that's a lie"

"Tell me, how did you do it?"

"I.... I....."

"Yes? I'm waiting."

"I'd rather not tell you."

George chuckled again. "Well no matter. What's important is, I found you." He made an evil grin on his face. Behind him, Colin felt something picking him off the ground." he looked with fright, and it was Shadow Mavis, looking at him evilly like George would do to him. "Colin, let me introduce you to Shadow mavis, my girlfriend."

"ummmm.... nice to meet you?" Colin said nervously

"Nice to meet you too." the girl replied in a cheerful tone. In a more sinister voice, she said "You're clever. I'll give you that, kid." said the demonic girl. "But foolish."

"Indeed." George agreed. Mavis, please make sure that Colin.... learns what happens when he defies me. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!" the laughter echoed the room. "Well, have fun Colin, I'll see you in a little while. Take him away!"

"Yes, boyfriend."

Then the girl began pushing him "Let's go, cutie." Colin gulped and did what she told him to do, even more scared of what will happen to him now.

"Whaaaaat??!!!!" Fluttershy screamed at the top of her lungs. She, her friends, Pip, and the crusaders were at the cottage. "Colin's been kidnapped by that evil boy, George?" She felt like tearing up

"It wan't their fault, darling." Rarity said to her

"Yeah, we didn't know it was going to happen." Scootaloo begged. "We are so sorry!"

"Yeah, it wasn't our fault!" Pip added. "It just happened. We didn't see it coming. We swear!"

Fluttershy then began sobbing in Twilight's chest. "What am I going to do? We need to save my baby!"

"It's okay, Fluttershy." Twilight said "We will help Colin out of there. We need Celestia and Luna's help." They all said "Yeah!" in agreement. Fluttershy felt a little more reassured and eased her crying a little. "And maybe Johnny, and his friends would want to hear about this too."

"Hopefully Johnny can help us." Applejack said

"Yeah, he'll think of something." Rainbow Dash agreed.

"Fluttershy, we are sooooo sorry. You got to forgive us." Scootaloo begged

"We really are." Sweetie added

"Please forgive us." Said Applebloom

"Oh.... it's okay." Fluttershy said "I know you would never mean him to be captured like this. You're all right, we do need help." then they all exited the cottage to see the princess' for immediate aid, and Discord as well.

Torture Chamber

Warning: Some things you might all see in this chapter might contain content that may be disturbing to some readerss, and not meant for some eyes. For any sensitive readers, viewers discretion is advised

Poor Colin was forced to walk with his captors down to where George would want to do with him. What did he mean making him learn what happens when he defies George? He felt squeamish just wondering it.

"Umm, how much farther?" Colin asked Shadow Mavis very nervously

"Oh ho, don't worry, we're almost there." Said the evil girl with an evil smile. "Now this will make sure you behave."

The boy gulped with fear. He just wish he could escape, but he knew that it would only make it worse for himself. It would make his situation a more living hell than it already is.

There was a large, iron door, bigger than Krusha even. The lights were off, and then, when she flicked them off, there was a large bed tied to the wall, and there were the animatronics that Colin was hiding from before in the locker room.

"Ah, here's the kid now." Said Freddy in a supposed happy tone. "Look who it is, fellas."

"Good to meet you, Colin." Said Foxy

"You..You know my name?"

"Of course, cutie, George told us about you." Chica replied

"Figures."

"Now, we heard you have been a naughty little boy." Said Bonnie "now we want to show you a little.... Discipline in behaving." He and the other robots eyes went red with evil

"So, be a good boy and get on the torture board."

"Torture board!?" Colin said

"Now now, just go through this and behave, and you will understand why no one should ever defy my boyfriend." Shadow Mavis stated.

Then the by reluctantly allowed himself be bounded by the cuffs on the board. "That's a good boy." Said Freddy Fazbear with spirit. "Now what will do to you, is rather..... Shocking! Hahahahaha!" Shadow Mavis and the other animatronics laughed along with him evilly,

Colin felt his heart drop to his feet and he grew more pale than a bone on his face.

"Alright, fellas. Let the shocking begin." Said Shadow Mavis

Then Foxy pulled the lever, and Colin felt a painful, stinging sensation of shocking around him. He was screaming really loudly at the top of his lungs.

"Yes. Yes, let it all out." Said Bonnie in a demonic voice.

"Let the pain flow through you." Foxy added, also in a demonic tone of voice.

The shocking continued, and Colin was squirming all around him, trying to break free from this hell, but alas, there was nothing he can do, but endure this new level of pain.

"One, two, three, four!" On earth, Johnny was jamming with his band,ages, Severin, Christian, and Bobby. They all rocked as hard as ever in the college recording studio.

With them was a beautiful, black-haired girl with a leather jacket, and black leggings. She watched the boys play and smiled.

After they were done, the producer clapped his hand and said "well done, guys. That was awesome!"

"Thanks, mr. Fought." Johnny said. Then the girl rushed in and hugged him

"Wow, Johnny. You were so amazing." She said in a beautiful voice.

"Thank you for coming, sweetheart." Johnny replied, kissing her on the lips. Turns out, is girl was Johnny's girlfriend, Rose McClain.

"So, should we take five?" Asked Christian.

"Make it thirty." Severin added. "I feel like drinking a root beer at the moment."

"Make that two." Bobby added

Johnny laughed "alright, alright."

They all went to get themselves drinks, and arose went with them. While they all had Barq's root beer, Discord appeared out of nowhere. Rose screamed in fright

"It's alright, Rose. He's a friend of mine." Johnny reassured. "Hey, Discord. What's up?"

"What is up, is something terrible." The Drancequus said.

The other band members smiled turned into confused looks on their faces. "What do you mean, dude?" Asked Christian,

"Yes, it sounds like something is amiss in the Gabon forests." Severin added

"It's Colin." The Drancequus stated. "He's been.... Kidnapped."

Johnny had a look of horror, and gasped "what?! This- this has got to be a joke." Then he began to panic

"I wish I am joking, but I am not." Said Discord "he has been captured.

The band Nd arose looked horrified too. "What are we gonna do? I don't want to lose my brother again!"

"Just come with us, and our friends will see what we can do to free him."

"Johnny, what is going on here?" Asked Rose. "And.... Who is this guy?"

Her boyfriend took a breath and replied to her "it's Colin, Rosie. You remember my little bro, right?" Rose nodded

"Of course, how could I not remember that little angel?"

"Well Discord said it himself, he has been kidnapped. About him, it's complicated. So Discord, please, take us to Equestria ASAP. I will make sure when I find whoever took him, I will stab his eyes out with a knife and break his neck!"

"With pleasure!" Discord agreed. Then he zapped himself and the others to Equestria with Fluttershy and the others at town square in Ponyville

"Oh Johnny, thank you so much for coming here. Did Discord tell you what happened?"

"Yeah. I am so sorry about what happened."

"It's okay. It was not your fault." Fluttershy said "I just want my baby back."

"We will get Colin back Fluttershy." Rainbow reassured. "We just need to get a princess Celestia and Luna to see what they can do. They will know how to help."

Then they all no priced his girlfriend "I'm sorry, who might you be?" Asked Twilight.

"Oh, I'm Rose. Johnny's girlfriend."

"That is a very lovely name"

"Let's focus on Colin guys. He can be in big trouble." Spike noted. They all worried about the boy's safety. "I mean, who knows who this George might be doing him at the moment."

"Guys, we are all worried about him, but there is nothing we can do now." Said Applejack.

"I hate to say it, but she is right." Said Twilight. "In the meantime, we can just hope that Colin will be alright."

"Twilight." Said a motherly voice. They looked and it was princess Celestia and Luna. They both had concerned looks on their faces. They all bowed to them in respect. Rose of course, didn't know what they were, it followed afterward to not cause trouble. "We got your note. We are both very sorry."

"We will explain to you about this George. And do not worry, we will do everything we can to help your brother, Johnny." Luna added

This gave the young man a look of hope. "You're right. We just need to think of a plan. After all, I think Colin is just staying strong right now."

Meanwhile

Colin kept on screaming and screaming at the top of his lungs as he was being electrocuted repeatedly. This time, George was there to watch his suffering.

"Ah, you're screaming is like music to my ears, Colin." He said wickedly.

Then the evil child told Foxy to stop with the shocking. After it was done, Colin had tears streaming down his face, sobbing on pain.

George then walked up to him and was only inches away from his face. "Now, will you promise to behave the next time you decide to run away from me?"

Colin didn't say anything but nodded a yes in return. Finally, he said "please just no more of this. Please."

"Very well. Take him back to his cell." George ordered.

"Sure thing boss." Krusha said "alright, kid, up you get." Then the large goon carried him on his shoulder and carried him back to his little prison. "Well, now you see what happened when you cross George. Now, the next time I catch you out of this cell again, the shocking will be even more painful. Got it?"

"Yes." Colin sobbed.

"Good." Krusha smiled "nighty night." Then Krusha went back to George again.

Colin was sobbing deeply in the bed, wishing this was all just a bad dream. This could possibly one of the worst things that ever happened to him right next to his parents death.

What will happen to him? Will he survive?"

At Twilight's castle, Celestia was explaining the history of George and his evil ways. "So, George has been wanting to control Equestria ever since he was born. He will stop at nothing, until he has me and my sister's throne."

"So Colin is the random." Twilight realized

"Exactly." Luna stated. " he kidnapped Colin because he knew we would never forgive ourselves of we let the poor child die like this."

Fluttershy began to cry. "I can't believe he would do such a thing " she sobbed deeply. "Oh my poor baby."

"Now now, Fluttershy. I know things look bad, but we will get him back. Please calm down."

"Calm down?!" Fluttershy exclaimed in a sudden mood swing. "My poor Colin is trapped under an Evil boy's hand amd yoy want me to calm down!?"

"Fluttershy! Get ahold of yourself!" Rainbow said

The yellow pegasus looked guilty and sobbed again. "I know how you feel, Fluttershy, but we need to stay strong." Celestia noted.

"I really hate to say this on a million goddamn years, but you're right. We all have to keep our wits about and think of a plan " Johnny said.

"Right!" They all said.

"Hold on, Colin." Johnny thought to himself. The only thing he can do is pray that Colin will be alright.

Evil Twin

Now that everypony and the two humans knew who this George boy was, they were ready to do whatever it takes to bring him back into safe hands, and hooves. At the moment, they were all thinking of a plan, and Pinkie suggested "oh oh oh! We can always storm George's hideout!"

"Pinkie, we don't even know where he lives." Twilight noted.

"He does live on his own ship with bodyguards and security protecting him at all costs." Said Celestia. "I am afraid we cannot be rational so as to barge right into it. For Twilight is right, we do not know where he is hiding."

"But what if they all torture him into the brink of insanity? Or even death?" Said Johnny. "What if there is nothing we can do to help my brother?"

"Johnny. Please." Luna softly begged him. "We will rescue him. Me and my sister will do all we can to help your brother."

The others agreed with her. "Yes, it just takes a little time." Celestia added

"Hey guys, look!" Spike shouted. All his friends gathered around, and there was a piece of paper on the ground. The baby dragon picked it up, and looked deeper in to the details. Then he realized what this slip was. "Is this.... Where George is?"

"Here, let me see that, Spike." Said Johnny. The baby dragon promptly gave him the paper, and Johnny was as equally surprised. "It.... It is!" He exclaimed. Perhaps not all hope was lost at all. They just might have found their first clue of George's whereabouts.

"How do you think we should find him?" Fluttershy asked

"I know where this location is." Said Celestia. "Now we know exactly where to find him, and put George to justice."

"I'll go." Said Johnny. "He is my brother, and I will bring him back to you guys."

"But, we want to come too!" Said Fluttershy. "He is my baby."

"I know, Fluttershy. I know. But it might be too dangerous for you guys."

"We can handle the danger!" Said Christian.

"No. I appreciate you his wanting to help me, but I have to do this alone." He looked at the others, knowing how uncertain and unsure they were. "Look, if I do not come back in a day or two, come find us, and we will kick his little ass together, and give his henchmen hell, and rescue Colin."

Everypony, the band, and Rose were uncertain about this, and there was a long silence so still that they could here the many breathing among them, one at a time. "If that is what you must do, I understand, Johnny." Celestia remarked. "Go, and please return Colin safely with us."

Johnny smiled. "Good. I promise you I will be careful." But before he went off, Rose stopped him.

"Johnny, wait!" Said his girlfriend. "Please, let me come with you!"

"No." Her boyfriend firmly said. "I have to go alone. My little brother needs my help."

"But you will be killed out there" rose begged him, clinging to his arm. "Please, let me come with you."

"It's too dangerous for a woman like you."

"Just because I am a woman, does not mean I am weak."

"I never said you were!" Johnny argued. He calmed himself down, and said "okay. You can come." Rose made a little smile on her face after hearing that. "Just please stay close to me, and be careful."

Rose nodded "I promise. I'll be as close to you as possible"

Johnny highly regretted this, but Rose was highly persistent on joining him, for she was a spunky girl.

"Johnny, please, bring back my baby."

"I will, Fluttershy." The human replied, and they all said to him.

"Oh Johnny!" Severin called. Then he pulled a sword, and gave it to his best friend.

"You're giving me your sword?" Asked Johnny.

"Of course, mon mail what are friends for? You will need it on times of severe distress just n case something terrible happens."

"Thanks. I promise you I'll bring to back to you when me and arose are done."

"Magnifique. Now be careful, and may you have a spirit of a good and courageous lion within your heart."

Johnny was touched by his kind words. "Thank you, Severin. We will." The. He and arose went off on their quest.

Meanwhile, Celestia said under her breath "hold on, Colin. We will save you."

Meanwhile at George's hideout, the evil boy genius was playing video games on his ridiculously large bedroom on his ridiculously large flat screen TV standing over twelve feet high.

"Georgie-bear!" Called a voice in a song-song tone.

The boy paused the game and smiled to see his girlfriend. "Hey, my fair demon." He said in a sweet voice. "What brings you here?"

"Oh well, you know, I just wanted to have a chat with you." Shadow Mavis giggled I'm reply. Then she remembered something she was supposed to say to him next. "I almost forgot! Dr. Eggman says that he has a perfect idea for you."

"Perfect." Said a George wickedly. "I will tell Klump to tell Eggman that I will be right there in a moment?'

"Okay!" Then she wrapped her arms around him, hugging him. "You are one of the most evil creatures I have ever seen."

"Not as evil as you, my dear." George replied, cleaning his glasses. "Oh, and speaking of evil, did you see how Colin was crying like a baby?!" The. He cackled.

Mavis cackled along with him "totally! I thought he was going to pee his pants! Hahahahaha!" And they both had a good laughter for a few long minutes.

"Uh, I hate to interrupt you lovebirds." Said a gruff voice. They turned around and it was Eggman himself.

"Eggman, when did it become necessary to come into my ROOM UNANNOUNCED?!"

"My sincere apologies, George." Eggman bowed himself in respect while brushing his mighty mustache. "You see, I have been thinking of an idea that involves an evil twin from Colin."

George's eyes went open, and had a horrible idea. "That sounds perfect! I think an evil clone of Colin would be an awesome idea! We can play video games together, read comic books, and took over the world wi the rest of my friends."

"Well, there is one little problem."

George's face suddenly turned into a frown. "What is it?" He asked irritatingly.

"The boy needs to have a time he did a really bad thing to create an evil duplicate of himself. Perhaps there was he did something really terrible and did not mean too."

"Yes. Yes there was."

"Well, after Colin was tortured by yours truly, I managed to extract a tear on the ground from his eyes, so that will give us a glimpse of a horrible thing he did intentionally, or unintentionally. I would have done it earlier, but Cubot and Orbot wanted to go shopping." Hen he made a look of irritation.

George was starting to like the idea more and more "that sounds like a great idea. Let's see how it goes."

"Wonderful. Oh boy, I can't wait for this!" Eggman was just as excited to do this just as much as his boss was. "Oh, and maybe we can do that to Sonic, too. That way the annoying little blue nuisance will have a hard time trying to stop me. Oh! I mean us."

"Oh that would be even better." George agreed. "He is an obstacle that would always get on our way sometimes."

"Tell me about it."

Then there was a large machine, and a tube next to it, possibly where the clone will come out. "Now, how does this thing work?"

"Well, we look into one of his memories, and see what terrible thing he has done before."

"Are you sure there is something? I mean, Colin is a teacher's pet, and a goodie-two shoes. I highly doubt that he would have something he regretted doing."

"Who knows? We all have a little evil inside us."

"Fair enough." George agreed. "You're right. Now let's out this baby into action. Then they all looked into a peculiar memory, and saw Colin being four years old, hitting a bully on class, making him cry before being sent to a timeout."

"Ooh, that looks nice.' Said George,

"Yep, that's good enough for me." Eggman added, "alright, now let this genius create a duplicate like I have never created in my life!" He gave a triumphant laugh

"Just get on with it." Shadow Mavis groaned

"Well excuse me, your highness." The scientist rudely remarked. "You obviously have not heard or understand the word genius in my plan."

"Why you!"

"Now now, dear." Said George. "Let's not be too rational." Then, Eggman fired the machine up, causing many metal,ic clanging and steam hissing. The smoke was starting to flood the floors and after many more clanging, the timer made a "ding" sound, like a small clock for backing a cake.

The steam was clearing when George saw the newborn evil clone of Colin Frasier himself. The duplicate looked exactly like him, except he had an evil mustache, his hair was all jet black, and his jacket was also black.

"Hey." He said. "What's up?"

"I did it." George said. "I finally did it! Hahahahahaha!!!"

"Hey you're George, right?" Asked evil Colin,

"Yep! You're new leader."

"Awesome. I will still cause some destruction and havoc, right?"

"Of course."

"Yay!"

"Wow, you really do look like Colin!" Said Shadow Mavis.

"Kind of. I mean, I have the same voice, and I am as old as him, but he is a goody-goody who always plays by dumb rules." With an evil smile, Evil Colin said "I can play however I want. And I think it is fun to kill."

"Oh, I like your style." George said. "Come on, let me show you around." Then he, Evil Colin, and Shadow went down a few hallways to give a little tour of his new home while Eggman stayed behind to catch on with a study of his.

Jail

Colin was still in his chamber in George's ship, who stopped crying, but was still sad within. He didn't even want to think about the pain in the torture chamber, and was not planning on sneaking out like that again, especially the consequences on what happens to people like him that just did it. Colin most certainly did not want to face the shocking again, for it was a while new level of pain.

He made a sad sigh. "I miss my mommy and daddy, and my friends and family." He thought out loud. Hipefully, some help will come. Till then, he had to stay strong. If Celestia and Luna know then he will surely be rescued eventually.

There was a sound of heavy footsteps, probably some goons looking at Colin and making sure he was bahaving. It revealed to be Krusha and Shadow Mavis and doctor Eggman with him. What did they both want from him this time? What if he is going to be tortured again?

The boy cowered in fear at the corner of his cell "please don't shock me again, it hurts!" He begged

"Oh relax yoy sniveling runt." Krusha retorted. "If you did misbehave again, we would know. Now, George just wants to have a little word with ya?"

'What does he want?"

"I don't know, I didn't ask him. All the boss said was he just wants to see ya ASAP.

"And try not to run away this time, okay? Squirt? Or else you will get shocked at the torture chamber again." Eggman warned him

Colin certainly did not want to go through that painful, stinging feeling of being electrocuted again. "Okay." Was all he replied

"Good boy." Said Shadow Mavis. "Now come along." Then Mavis held his hand and walked down the hallway with Krusha and Eggman following after to make sure Colin doesn't pull any more tricks. "Oh wait till George tells you what happens next." Said Shadow Mavis in a sinister tone.

"D-did he ask you what he wanted from me?"

"Nope, he didn't tell me either."

"Just shut your trap and wait till we get their, then you can ask him for yourself." Krusha noted.

It was a rather long walk to get from Colin's cell to George's main base of operations. Finally there her was, sitting on his sinister throne. When he saw Colin, he grinned wickedly. Colin was afraid to even ask what this evil little genius wanted with him. Next to him was Bowser, making some smoke everytime he breathed put of his nostrils.

"Ah Colin, so glad you can join us."

"We got him for you, boss." Krusha. "Just as you ordered us to."

"Perfect." George turned his attention back to the poor boy, and a dressed "you are probably wondering why I asked you hear."

"Please don't shock me again! I didn't do anything wrong!" Colin blurted.

George cruelly chuckled and replied "oh relax, you're not in trouble this time. Besides, I know you would learn your lesson after my shocking. No, why I brought you here in front of me is quite different than you would expected." The evil child got off his throne and walked down the steps that were in front of it.

Colin made a gulp and said "well, -why did you call me here?"

"Well, why I called you here is way different than you expected. No, you see, we are getting close to my very own island, and I will show you your new home.... in my jail."

Colin gasped "jail! Nonono. I didn't do anything wrong!"

"Oh we believe you, Colin." Said Pavilion. "We are just trying to keep.you under watch and wait until the boss here decides to use you as the ransom for Celestia and rule all of Equestria."

"Exactly right, Pavilion. And don't worry. Prison is not so bad, the food in it is actually pretty delicious and delectable-"

"And stale!" Eggman added with an evil laugh."

"And you might as well get in a prison uniform when we arrive. But don't worry," he looked at his girlfriend. " Shadow Mavis here will take good care of you." George then made a cruel chuckle. Of course when he said it that way, it was the exact opposite if good care. Colin knew that very well.

Shadow Mavis then made a wicked grin showing her teeth. "Oh we will have some fun!" She said with mock joy, and cackled I'm a crazy tone. Eggman followed after her, and then George."

"Hey boss." A boy's voice called out. A kid that looked very similar to Colin walked into the room, same clothes, said hoodie, and hair, and even had Teo eyes like his good counterpart. It was indeed, the evil twin of Colin. But how did he get such a makeover like this?

"Ah, Evil Colin, just in time to reveal our plans." George said. "My my, you look so much like your goodie-goodie counterpart."

"What'a going on here?"

"Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you earlier, didn't I, buddy?" Said his evil twin. "I am going to ruin your life and reputation, and make everyone you love hate you. Your new family will suffer under my fists, and I will cause chaos all around them! Hahahaha! And not like Discord."

"What? No! I love my family!" Colin begged

"Oh don't be such a sniveling baby." Evil Colin insulted him. "I can imagine myself making poor Fluttershy burst into tears and make her hate you after hurting her feelings, waa waa."

Colin then tries to attack him with full zeal, but was stopped by Krusha's beefy fist to his stomach, making him whimper.

"Next time it will be a bat." Krusha threatened, cracking his knuckles after that. This guy really meant business and Colin knew he wasn't kidding when he said he will get worse than a punch if he doesn't "Behave" himself

"Oh, master George, we have got Intel that Sonic has been spotted across Equestria." Pavillion reported on his computer.

"Perfect, capture him and bring him to Eggman."

"And then I will make him suffer thereafter." Eggman added. "Oh i can imagine the look on his face after I rip his innards out, hahaha!"

"Anyway, go do what you need to do, Evil Colin."

"Sure thing, best friend." The evil twin looked at him and smiled "and don't worry, I will take good care of your family and friends." Then he exited the room to the teleportation chamber. Colin was in a really heavy pickle now. His poor family might not even know what his evil double will do to them when he reaches his home."

"Now, make sure you give Colin here a haircut and give him a mugshot, Mavis."

"Of course, my love." Then went to put on her police guars uniform

"And don't worry, we will give you a special suite in my prison. Hahahaha!"

The Boy gulped again.

"Take him away!"

Then Krusha dragged him on the floor by his hood from the jacket to do all those things George told him to him.

Collin was sitting in his cell sadly. He then heard some footsteps approaching, followed by a jingle of keys. He looked up to see Shadow Mavis. She is wearing a blue police uniform with a yellow police badge on it, a black belt that came with handcuffs and a baton, some latex black boots, and black gloves in her hands.

"Hey there, Collin." Shadow Mavis teased.

"Shadow Mavis? Is that you?" Collin asked.

"Of course it's me. How do I look?"

"Umm... interesting?" Collin blushed.

"Enough small talk, criminal.." the girl said, as she went inside the poor boy's cell and grabbed his arms and put them against a wall.

"What are you doing?" Collin whimpered.

"I gotta do this to all prisoners. That includes you, sweetheart." the girl replied, as she spread Collin's arms and legs apart.

Collin blushed in embarrassment as Shadow Mavis started frisking him down. She stuffed her hands on his legs, arms, chest, and pants, frisking Poor Collin down for any weapons.

"You're coming with me, sweetheart." the police girl replied, as she pulled Collin's arms behind his back.

"W-what are you gonna do?" Collin asked, fearfully.

Shadow Mavis pulled out her handcuffs from her belt and attached it to Collin's hands. They restrained him with a chain, and with a loud click as they were attached to Collin.

"Ow!" Collin winced, as he tried to struggle free, but the cuffs chafed his hands.

"Let's go, jailbird." Shadow Mavis said as she made Collin walk out of the cell while keeping her one hand holding the cuffs.

"Where are we going?" Collin asked.

"To take your mugshot, sweetheart." Officer Shadow Mavis said. "Every prisoner we have here must have their mugshot taken so we can keep it in their criminal records. You'll be one of the cutest criminals around here."

"P-p-please... Don't do this..." Collin sniffed as he started to cry.

"George's orders!" Shadow Mavis chirped, as she saw Collin trying to slow down, and she hit his legs with her police baton, resulting in the boy whimpering.

Shadow Mavis made the handcuffed Collin walk to the mugshot room. There was a mirror reflecting a room with a height chart of stripes.

"Let me go, p-p-please..." Collin pleaded.

"Silence." Shadow Mavis retorted as she took off Collin's handcuffs by force. "Go to that dressing room. You have to dress up in your prison clothes. Here."

The police girl gave Collin his prison clothes. It was an orange jumpsuit with the number written: #9241.

Collin sighed as he looked at it, but the police girl hit a wall with her baton, which got Collin hurting to the dresser. Hewhimpered as he hurried to the dresser and discarded his old clothes. He sighed as he put the jumpsuit on. He connected the buttons on it after putting it on. He then came out to Shadow Mavis smiling and clapping at him.

"You look adorable!" she said, as she gave him his mugshot card. "Now go to the mugshot lineup."

Collin inspected the card. It read "Ponyville Police Department: Prisoner #9241. Name: Collin."

Collin started to shed tears as he went inside the mugshot lineup. He was 5'7.

Shadow Mavis then took out her camera and said, "Raise your card, jailbird."

Collin teared up as he raised his mugshot card. The police girl took the photo with a flash and commanded him to turn to the left. Collin did so, and another photo was taken.

Collin exited the mugshot lineup room as Shadow Mavis grabbed him. "It's time to take your haircut!"

"No." Collin refused. "I like the way my hair is."

Shadow Mavis responded by hitting the poor boy with her police baton. "You're one step closer for a cavity search." She sneered, as they went to get his haircut.

Johnny and Rose were walking along a trail through a forest. Hopefully, they will look for more clues about George and where Colin was.

"Hey, Rose?"

"Yes?"

"I thank you for coming with me. Maybe I did need some help after all." Johnny remarked. "Perhaps you coming with me on this rescue mission was all I need."

His girlfriend smiled "oh you're welcome, sweetie-pie." Then she kissed him on his left cheek. "I knew you would want me to be with you to rescue Colin." Then she frowned again "poor baby, I hope he will be okay."

"Me too, babe. Me too."

It was all of a sudden they heard a cry for help. "Hey! Get me out of here you overgrown lizards!" It sounded like a young man's voice of some kind, a little higher than Johnny's own voice. They all looked at where it came from, and saw a couple of scary looking lizard men trapping a Mobian blue hedgehog in a net.

"Hey, sons of bitches!" Johnny insulted them with anger. "Pick on someone your own size." Both the Kremlins snarled at him and his girlfriend.

"That's Colin's brother!" Said one."

"Kill him!" Said another. They both charged at him, but Johnny gave them really painful punches with his brass knuckles from his jacket, and dodged many attacks as possible. It wasn't enough for the lizard monsters kept on rolling. Finally, he pulled out the sword Severin fave him before he and Rose departed, and clashed the steel wother the Kremlins' own swords. Johnny was a rather good fighter and was fighting very valiantly in the mean time.

At last, he struck a mortal blow on one, and then slashed the other's leg, making him yell in agony. Johnny grabbed him by the head, and asked "where is my brother!?"

"I will never talk!" The Kremlin shouted.

Angered and irritated, Johnny slowly trusted the sword in the monster's him making him scream in agony.

"Gonna talk now?"

"Alright! I'll talk! George is going to take him to the prison on his private island far from here." The Kremlin confessed.

"How far is it?"

"Two hundred miles. But I might as well warn you, there are guards all over the place, and it is no smooth sailing going over there by sea."

"Thanks." Then George killed him by slitting his throat. Then he noticed the hedgehog still trapped in the net."

"Excuse me." Said the hedgehog. "A little help, please?"

"Oh sorry." Johnny said. He slashed his sword on the rope, and the creature fell back on the ground, right on his noggin.

He mildly groaned "oww, warn me next time you are Going to do that."

"Sorry. Tell me, what'a your name, stranger? And, what did those creeps want from you?"

"My name is Sonic the Hedgehog. Sonic is my name, speed is my game." He flaunted

"Well nice to meet you, Sonic. My name is Johnny."

"And I am Rose, his girlfriend." Said the female human.

"Nice to meet you guys. Anyway, they were working for George and Eggman, my arch nemesis."

"Eggman?" Both Johnny and Rose asked in confusion like it was a ridiculous and laughable name.

"I know it sounds silly, but this guy is pure evil." Sonic warned "Eggman was trying to kill me for years, and He wants to conquer everything with his tools and robots, and I always defeat him, but this time he has help to take over the world and build his own empire."

"Do you think you can help us find my brother?"

"Well, I don't know where he is, but I guess I can come along. Besides, i'm getting a little bored running around this place already. "So do tell me what's going on."

Then Johnny and Roae began telling them about Colin and his capture. Perhaps this will be a greater chance that Colin will be saved after all. But what will become lf Fluttershy, Twilight, Rainbow, and the others back home in Ponyville?

A Blue Hedgehog vs a Red Echidna

Fluttershy was still worried sick about her only son, and hoped she was alright, but still, she had to be strong for both his and her own sake. As of now, she was trying to come up with a plan for in case Johnny and Rose were unsuccessful on their own rescue. Her friends, the princess', and Johnny's band were with her.

"Okay, anypony got any other ideas?" Asked Rainbow Dash.

"Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! We can all collect cakes and give them all to George and his minions. That way, we can sneak ourselves into the fortress, and rescue Colin from that meanie boy."

"It wouldn't be that simple, Pinkie Pie." Said Applejack with relent "George is too smart for that, even for his own age, it probably won't work."

"I really hate to admit it, but she is right." Princess Celestia agreed with her. "We need a plan of attack, an ambush, or give Johnny and arose support if needed just on case they both fail."

"Of course they will fail" said Rarity. "It would be two against a far greater number containing George and his army of goons and ruffians."

Twilight was thinking, and blurted "of we're going to do this, we need it to be precise and foolproof."

"Right. Johnny did say that he let us know about where my baby is, and we can help hm and Arose to rescue him, and save Colin and all of Equestria, after all, he kidnapped Colin so it can give him what he wants., Fluttershy summarized. "We will all need as much help as we can get. Like.... An army of our own."

They all were liking the idea.

"We can have the support of ponies, animals, and friendly creatures that can possibly help us get Colin back. And maybe, Johnny and Rose will gain some followers while they are going on their own."

"That sounds like an excellent idea, my dear Fluttershy. We should gather as many friends and other friendly creatures as possible to help us to our cause. The more plentiful out army will bel the better."

Fluttershy smiled at him, and hugged him.

"Then let it be done." Celestia proclaimed." Then they all cheered boldly, knowing that this little plan will work.

"Do you think this could work? What would be the downside for this?" Asked Christian worriedly. "It will be hell if we would lose a lot of our friends."

"We cannot hesitate to try, mon ami." Said Severin. "Numbers will give those batards (bastards) our ultimate coup de grace, and save poor Colin. His life is worth more than anything else in this world. And our own."

"I know, dude. We have to give it all we got." Bobby agreed. Then they all gotten started on who the allies will be, and where they can get them.

Colin was heading down George's ship from the stairway, with two guards escorting him to the prison just up ahead. Shadow Mavis was in front of the two. The boy was wearing an orange prison uniform for a lid his age to wear, and his beautiful, semi-long hair was shaven off of his head, and he was cuffed on the wrists.

"Ooh! You'll love this place!" Said Shadow Mavis with excitement. "On second thought, maybe not. Oh! Who I kidding, just wait and see for yourself." Colin whimpered quietly. Feeling more scared to death than before, he didn't even want to know what it's like inside this hellhole.

"Ummm, Shadow Mavis?" He said in a very worried voice. "Or miss Mavis is it?"

"You can just call my Shadow Mavis if you please."

"Right. Can you please..... not let the inmates beat me into a pulp?" Colin asked and made a gulp thereafter. Some of the inmates looked tough and intimidating. Almost all of them were ponies, and some of them were griffons, Diamond Dogs, minotaurs, and some other races.

Shadow Mavis thought of it and went "mmmm" before she answered "like my Georgie said before, if you behave, then you'll be just fine. Besides, George wants you alive so he can show you to princess Celestia and Luna so they'll have to let him take over the world! Hehehe!"

This made Colin's lips quiver in fear, but he stood strong, and didn't want the inmates to see him scared, because prisoners cam smell fear from a mile away, and that's exactly how they would want someone like Colin to feel like, so they know who is boss in the jail.

Krusha smiled looking at how much of a living hell this prison will be for poor Colin. Unfortunately, he will not be there most of the time, for George needed him, and there was nothing more than Krusha would do than to please his master.

Many prisoners saw the group as they were walking down the pathway with the fence keeping them all inside. Many of them started to take notice of him. Colin just kept his cool and stood tall and proud to not show any fear. That's what Johnny would do if he was in his own position.

"Hey look guys, isn't that the human that came to Equestria and is the new son of the element of Kindness?" Said a stallion inmate with a mohawk. His buddies agreed with him in unison.

They all went into the prison. Many of the inmates inside were in their cells, doing stuff like playing the harmonica, drawing a chalkboard on the wall saying how long they been in there, and other usual jail stuff.

There was a larger cell that was rather empty and it looked way different than the other ones. The bed was way more comfortable and soft and had a large pillow. It also had some toys like the one on George's ship, and had a more nicer, cleaner toilet than the rest. It was really unusual, and Colin expected it to be filledwith cockroaches and crickets with a disgusting toilet, but this is a cell that every prisoner would want. Desire that, he hated it, because he does not want to be in jail, and did nothing wrong to deserve it.

"Well, here we are. You're new cell." Said Shadow Mavis.

Krusha then pushed Colin with his mighty hands, crashing him into the wall. "Enjoy it while it lasts, kid." Krusha chuckled.

"I don't get it." Said Colin. "Why put me in here?"

"Well, I am in a really good mood today, and George did say he will reward you after he is done using you to take over Equestria."

"I.... I just want to be with my mommy and my family."

"Oh shut up." Said Klemp rudely. "Unless you want me to slam you again the wall to readjust your face."

Colin whimpered.

"Get used to it you worthless runt." Krusha retorted. "At least until George takes over the world, your stuck here. And you'll face the guards knuckles if you escape again, go it?"

"Yes." He replied

"Good boy."

"Oh and by the way, we also have a shock torture device for you if you misbehave again." Shadow Mavis said wickedly.

With a sudden bravery boost, Colin said "my brother Johnny will get me out and my family will save me." Then he got a hard punch to the face by Shadow Mavis, knocking him to the ground.

"Don't get your hopes up, kid." Said Krusha calmly. "They can't do anything, you are a hostage in case you've forgotten."

"And the next time you talk back to me again," shadow sang. In a more sinister voice, she said "you'll get clubbed.

Colin felt like shedding tears again. "Okay."

Back to her cheerful voice, Shadow Mavis said "perfect! Now make yourself at home, because you get to meet some of the other prisoners here."

Then they all left him to be alone. When they were gone, Colin dug his face into his face and began sobbing quietly.

Meanwhile, Johnny, Rose, and Sonic were just walking down the path to look for Colin. "So, I always wondered about your brother." Sonic said. "What's he like?"

"Oh, Colin is so amazing. He is the best little brother a big bro can ever ask for. He is always happy, and loves rock music like i do." Johnny answered.

"That's cool. I would love to meet the little guy."

"And he would love to meet you too, Colin loves just about everyone he can meet. And you would love him, he is like a bundle of joy. And... he's the only family i have left." he said in a more sad voice

"What happened to your guys' parents?" Sonic asked with a frown.

Johnny and Rose didn't really like to talk about it, but the big brother said "They died in a house fire."

"What?" Sonic said with shock and sympathy mixed together. "I'm very sorry. You know, I have a friend of mine who is like a brother to me. His name is Tails, and he lost his parents to a freak accident, too."

"I guess Colin and Tails can relate."

"Totally. But he's quite happy with me looking out for him. He is just a kid, but he is a science and a tech wizard. He can create inventions and even has his own airplane called the tornado."

Both the two humans were impressed. "Wow, that is so amazing, he sounds like a child prodigy."

"Exactly. that's what I was thinking."

As they continued walking down the road, they noticed a red figure in front of them. It almost looked like Sonic, but a little taller than him. They all stopped to see who this stranger was

"Knuckles?" Sonic said to him, recognizing the stranger. "Is that you?"

"Hello, Sonic." said the creature. He sounded more masculine and deeper than Sonic, like a very mature voice. "I thought I'd fine you here." then he turned around, with his arms crossed. He had long dreadlocks for hair, and had gloves with spikes on them, but didn't have any fingers, except for his thumb.

"What are you doing here, Knucklehead?" Sonic asked jokingly.

"Well, I want what's rightfully mine. Give me the Master emerald." the Echidna demanded.

"Who are you?"

"Knuckles, Knuckles the Echidna." he replied. Then he went back to Sonic. "Give me the Emerald before I get rough on you."

"Knux, why do you think I have the Master Emerald?"

"Eggman told me."

Sonic then face-palmed his forehead. "Here we go again." he muttered. "Look, I promise you, I don't have the Master Emerald, now please stand aside."

In a more threatening voice, Knuckles said "Either you give me the Master Emerald, or we do things the hard way."

Sonic made a firm look on his face, and sighed. "Alright. If that's how you want to play ball." then they both fought. Knuckles charged at him, and lanced a barrage of punches at him with lightning speed. Of course, since Sonic was the fastest creature in the world, he dodged every blow.

"Knuckles, What part of I don't have the Master Emerald do you not understand?" Sonic begged after he gave him an uppercut kick.

"I understand that you're lying. Eggman told me specifically that you had it. I saw a video of you taking it from me."

"What video?"

"The one he showed me! I thought you were smart!" then he punched Sonic in the face

"back at ya!" Sonic retorted, recovering from the blow. Sonic did a sweep kick through Knuckles' legs, and punched his face to the air, but the red echidna retaliated by gliding and dive-bombing at Sonic. He missed and dug himself to the ground using his shovel claws.

The blue hedgehog looked around cautiously, and before he could think, Knuckles jumped out the ground and punched Sonic at his stomach, and then kicked his thigh, punched the left of his face, and punched him to the ground with full force.

"Sonic!" Johnny and Rose cried out. Before the echidna could try and hurt him any further. A Johnny drew his sword, and aimed it at Knuckles. "Stop the fighting!" He demanded "please!"

Knuckles than stopped and panted "out of my way, he stole the Master Emerald! I want what's rightfully mine!"

"Open your eyes!" Johnny said. "Look we're just looking for my brother, Colin. He's been kidnapped and we've been trying to save him."

Knuckles had a confused look on his face "look.... For your brother?"

"Yes. That's a what I'm telling you for god sakes. Look, Eggman is long to you. I'm pretty sure if Sonic had the Master Emerald, he would give it to you."

Knuckles than realized what he was doing and felt guilty for it. "Oh, right." He said. "Why am I so gullible when it comes to Eggman?" He said angrily as he kicked the ground in frustration.

"It's alright. You don't hurt So much." Johnny and Rose looked at Sonic "right?"

"Yep. I'm just fine." Sonic replied getting up. "Just a few bruises, but I'm mostly fine. I suffered way worst pain. And I forgive you Knuckles. I just thought you would realized that Eggman lied to you before."

"I thought so too." The Echidna sighed. "I guessEggman must have the master Emerald, right?"

"Good guess." Sonic said

"Could be the case." Rose added.

"Look, we're on a mission to rescue my brother. So, why might as well be on our way."

"Wait!" Knuckles stopped them "I am so sorry. Does Egmman have him captive? He didn't tell me he had a little boy hostage."

"It's just like Eggman, Knucklehead." Sonic remarked "villains like him always lie."

"Too good to be true." In a very guilty voice, Knuckles said "look I am so sorry. I can assure you I would never work with a guy who kidnaps children. I would never, I promise."

Johnny smiled. "Good. I can see you are not like George or his goons."

"George? That evil boy?"

"Yep. He's partnered with Eggman to take over Equestria and have Colin as his hostage to get what he wants from princess Celestia." Knuckles clarified.

"Oh no, that's horrible!" Knuckles said. "Do you think I can come with you?"

"Hmm, you do have good muscles." Rose said "what do you think. Johnny?"

"I think he does. You seem like a cool guy." Johnny said to Knuckles, making him smile with flattery. "Why not, we can always use some extra help getting him back and save Equestria."

"Perfect! I swear that I will do anything in my power to get him back to you, Mister...."

"Johnny. Johnny Fraser."

"And I'm Rose, his girlfriend."

"Nice to meet ya." Knuckles remarked. "Well, we mustn't waste time. Let's go."

"Right." All three agreed with him.

Rights for the song go to Sega

As they were walking down, Johnny, Rose, and Sonic were happy to have another ally with them, a new friend to a Johnny and Rose, and an old friend to Sonic. "So, can you tell me about Colin?" Knuckles asked the big brother.

"Sure. Colin loves rock music like I do, and he loves just about everything, he even sung with my band a few times."

Knuckles was surprised to hear that. "And I know this sounds stupid, but you guys are pretty close right?"

"Oh yeah. Me and Colin are a team together, me and him with the world on our hands. And he's the only family I have left?"

"What do you mean?"

"Not so long ago.... Our parents were killed in a house fire on his sixth birthday." He admitted sadly

Knuckles had a look of sympathy like Sonic did before "what?" He said feeling his heart being broken slowly "I am so sorry to hear that." He placed his hand on his arm. "At least he's still got you. That's what counts." He tried to cheer him up.

"Right, and he has a new family, his new mother is named Fluttershy, the element of kindness."

"Oh, I've heard about the elements of harmony a little while back."

"Right, and I need to save him from George before he kills him. If George gets what he wants, he wouldn't have any use for my brother anymore, and well...... You know. I can't say it, it's too goddamn horrible."

"I understand." Knuckles said

"Don't worry, Johnny, Rose, we'll get Colin back for you, no matter what it takes. I owe you guys a debt for saving me from those crocodile monsters back there."

"And I owe you an apology for attacking you, and I give you a debt of my own, and of course, Eggman might have the Master Emerald, and I want what he has stollen from me."

"Thank you," said Rose. "That's very nice of you."

"Say Knuckles, maybe we can be an unstoppable team together, just think about it, my speed and your muscle, nothing can stop us."

Knuckles pounded his fists proudly "yeah, bring on as many bad guys George and Eggman can throw at us."

"So, what is so important about this Master Emerald anyway?" Johnny asked the echidna.

"Well, you see, I am it's guardian and protector, it's my job that the emerald is safe and out of reach from any harm or evil that can touch it." Then Knuckles told them about how the powerful the Master emerald is, and his ancestors who protected it for generations.

Saving a Red Clothed Plumber

Fluttershy was crying a storm of tears. No matter how many of her animal friends tried, no matter how nice they all were, it did not stop the pain that she was suffering right now. Even Angel or Harry couldn't try to possibly heal her internal wounds. Yes, she does love her animals, but Colin was something special that came to her in her life.

It was just too much to bare for both of them, that they, and some of the other animals started to shed a few tears about missing Colin too. It may look like a nice day outside, but it felt like a dark cloud was hovering over the cottage.

She kept scolding to herself over and over again saying that she must be strong for little Colin and hope that he will be alright. When her eyes were completely out of tears to shed, her garbage was overcrowded woth used tissue paper.

Not able to cry another tear anymore, she decided to just have faith in Johnny and Rose, and maybe Celestia and Luna will do all they can to help Colin escape from that Hell which is George's home island. She sniffed in her nose again and looked our the window.

A raccoon then lept up on the table and stood on it's hind legs, sniffing at the yellow pegasus' arm. Fluttershy looked down and gave the critter a sad smile, gently patting his head.

"Oh I know, Slyly." Said Fluttershy. "I know there is nothing I can do to save Colin, but I know he will be okay." She looked out the window again. "And I bet Johnny and Rose are on their way to help him get out of George's secret headquarters."

Then the door knocked a couple of times "Fluttershy, it's us, your friends." Called Twilight on the other side if the door. Fluttershy felt a little better to see her friends coming to see her and possibly do their best to console with her. She sighed and answered the door. Indeed, it was her friends, and along with the rest of Johnny's friends, looking worried for her well being.

"Can we come in, darling?" Rarity asked him.

Fluttershy made another small, depressed sigh, and then flatly replied "Okay." then she stepped aside for her friends to come inside to visit her.

"Is everything doing okay, Shy?" Asked Rainbow softly

"No." The yellow pegasus admitted "I don't know how much more I can take missing my beautiful baby." Then she laid back on the couch, looking at her ceiling I'm a depressed state, her eyes a little bloodshot from all the crying and weeping.

Pinkie noticed the little tower of tissues inside her trash bin. "I see you made a little snowy mountain of tissue paper." Applejack made an elbow jab on her side, causing her to say "Ow! What?"

"Not helping!" Applejack whispered in her ear while gritting her teeth.

"Look, Fluttershy. I know how you feel." Twilight consoled with her. "Celestia and Luna are doing all they can to save Colin from George, and you know that, right?"

Fluttershy made another sigh of sadness. "I know, but I still miss Colin. I just hope he is okay."

"And Johnny and Rose are searching for him their own way." Said Severin. "S'Il vous plaît, have a little faith in them."

Christian stepped up by saying "yeah, I have known Johnny for a long time, and if there was one thing I would be sure of, he never gives up on family."

"They're right, Fluttershy. Take it from them." Spike remarked. "Have the princess' or us have let you down before?"

"No." Fluttershy knew they were not wrong. Celestial and ?una are more powerful than George and his troops of, who knows how many there are. "You're right." She slowly got back on her feet, wiping her nose.

"Would you like, anything to make you feel better?" Rarity offered

"No thank you. I just need to wait for Colin to be rescued, and come home back to me. But, I do not need anything, well..... I guess I can go out for a little walk around Ponyville."

Many of her friends. Smiled, seeing that Fluttershy is trying her best to stay strong. After all, she ran out of tears to cry for one day. "And don't worry, we will all do our best to bring Colin back. We promise, so did Johnny and Rose, and the princess'" Twilight reminded her softly

The yellow Pegasus are a small sad smile. "I know I need to pull through, and I am sorry for being like this."

"It is quite alright, Fluttershy." Severin replied, placing his hand on her back for comfort. "Colin will come home. We would never let the boy on the hands of that demonic child."

"And let's forget about the plan we, princess Celestial and Luna talked about." Bobby reminded with a wink. "It's totally foolproof and it will work for sure."

"I know."

"Come on, maybe some zesty cucumber sandwiches might make you a little better. I know how much you love those."

"I do, Spike."

"Then it's settled. Discord will meet us there, and we all have a little decent lunch." Then they all agreed on what she proposed, and they all went outside to go into Ponyville.

Inside, Fluttershy was thinking "please stay strong, Colin. You'll be home soon."

Meanwhile, Johnny, Rose, and Sonic traveled long and far for any clue for where Colin would be. Since a new friend, Knuckles the Echidna was with them, he could probably help them since he was hired by Eggman for believing Sonic took the Master Emerald.

"Listen, I am really sorry about this." Said the red Echidna with a little guilt. "Like I said before, I would never work with someone who will kidnap a child, I'm a nice guy, hell, I love kids-!"

"It's okay, Knuckles." Johnny chuckled. "We understand perfectly. All is forgiven."

"Yeah, you are one of my closest friends."

"Even thought we have our differences, Sonic?"

"Ah, those are just setbacks." The blue hedgehog brushed off. "Anyway, you still know where Egg,an is, right?"

"Well, I don't know for sure. The last time I saw that mad scientist flying in his little pod ship, he was going in this direction close to the sea where we're going to now.

"Well, in the meantime, if we can find more of George's goons, we can interrogate him with my friend Severin's sword at his neck to make him talk."

"Oh yeah, that's the kind of attitude I wanna hear." Knuckles said boldly, clashing his fists to one another, feeling more than ready to pick a fight with any baddies. "I would feel more than ready to bash them all into hell, and make them bleed out till they look nothing but a bunch of raisins!"

"Okay killer, don't get to Carrie away." Sonic joked.

"I wonder if we can find anyone, pony, or other friendly creature that can help us." Said Rose.

"Help!" Called a funny man's voice.

They all knew what that probably meant. Another call for help would mean someone would help the group. The more allies there were for them, the more chances they might prevail on getting Johnny's. either back and live happily ever after.

"Help! I am in need a help a here!" It sounded somewhat Italian.

As they ran to where it was coming from, they saw a small man with a large mustache, in a red and blue plumber suit, tied up to a rope cornered by a small army that made up creature that look like turtles with green shells and another type that looked brown with funny looking angry faces with legs but no arms.

"Hey! You there!" Johnny called out to the goons. They all turned towards them, looking scared.

"Oh no." Said a turtle creature. His voice sounded a little high-pitched and having a stuffy nose. "It's that kid's brother George and Bowser told us about!"

"Eh, let's just take care of him, then Mario next." Said a brown creature.

They all charged at the heroes and all their attempts were fruitless. The brown and angry-looking creatures were easily pounded by Knuckles' mighty fists, hurdling at the sky. The turtle-like ones tried to throw punches of their own at the heroes, but some of them were kicked and sliced. One of their heads fell on the ground from Johnny's sword, and another cowards in fear and hid in it's shell before it slid away in it's shell.

When they were all taken care of, there was one last turtle-creature alive. Shaking and cowering in fear. Johnny picked it up by it's small arm. "Okay, little guy, where is my brother?" Johnny demanded. "Just tell me where my brother and your leaders are, and you can go."

"Or face the wrath of my mighty lightning kick strike!" Sonic threatened.

The little creature gulped. His kind didn't look so evil as a little adorable and funny-looking. "Okay, okay, please just don't hurt me, I'll talk." It begged

"Now where are they?" Johnny asked, in a lessintimidating tone of voice, lowering his sword.

"They- they are over at an island in the ocean one day away from here. You follow the path through here, and the city of Las Pegasus and the White Tail Woods, you can't miss it from there."

"Perfect." Then he put the creature down "okay, you can go."

Then the little turtle monster ran off in a cowardly way. All of th m quickly turned their eyes away from it, and looked at the funny man.

"Ah, thank you for a helping me outa from those fiends." He said. As they got him out of the net, Sonic recognized him

"Mario!"

"Sonic! Mama Mia!" Said the plumber. Then they both hugged. "It has been a little while my friend!"

"Yeah, I know, how's princess Peach."

"Never a better. Bowser has a kidnapped her again." He said in annoyance, the. He looked at the red echidna "Ah Knuckles, my read-headed friend. I trust you are still punching a them baddies?"

"Ah well, you know me, Mario." Said Knuckles. "Fighting is one of my favorite things to do."

The red plumber laughed. Then he looked at Johnny and Rose. "I'm a sorry, I believe we have not introduced ourselves. My name is Mario." He shook both their hands.

"Nice to meet ya, Mario. Name's Johnny Frasier."

"And I'm Rose, his girlfriend."

"Say, what were those guys?"

"The turtle creature were a koopas. The brown ones are called a goombas. They work for my arch a nemesis, Boweser."

"You know where he is?"

"Of a course. Why?"

The rocker took a small breath and replied "listen, he is working for an evil kid named George. He... he kidnapped my little brother, Colin Frasier."

"Mama Mia!" Mario gasped "that's a horrible. Do you know where he a is?"

"Well, I did a see him on a ship with Eggman. Maybe we follow it a there."

"And that little koopa said where they went. Do you think he was telling the truth?"

"He was. I bet George's life on it. And when I get my hands on him, I'll have his head on my wall as a trophy!" He felt the anger rising in him

"Johnny, Sweetie. Calm down." Rose soothed him by rubbing his shoulders.

"Right. Do you think you can help us, Mario."

The funny little man smiled "of a course!" He said with excitement. I will do a what I can to help your brother! Oh and save Princess Peach of course. Anyone who is an enemy of Bowser, is a friend a mine."

They all cheered and went to down the road, and now have another now ally and friend with them. This adventure just kept on getting better and better."

Back in George's lair, He was relaxing on his bed, waiting for his girlfriend, Shadow Mavis, to show up. Why he needed her was because he wanted her to practice arresting any prisoners and how to properly deal with any if under arrest. Finally, the door opened, and there she was in her police uniform.

"Sorry for the wait sweetie." she sang. "I was trying to get Krusha's head out of a small box."

"Ah, typical Krusha. Sometimes, I should never trust him or his soldiers to do a kid's job like me." George said ironically. "Sometimes, i wonder if I just need to do some things myself. Heh, probably not." then he got out of his bed. "You ready for practice?"

"Yep! Anything for you, Georgie-poo!"

The boy took out his glasses and put them on his nightstand, and cleared his throat. "Alright you! You are under arrest for defying me!" he role-played.

Shadow Mavis made a fake gasp. "Oh! No! please! I'm too pretty to go to jail!"

"Tough toenails! get on your knees!" he pulled out a pair of handcuffs, and opened each one to "Trap" his girlfriend in. "On the ground! Now!"

Then Shadow Mavis got on her knees, like her boyfriend instructed her to do. Then he tied her hands with his own in a very tight and firm grip. "I hope I am not hurting you so much."

"Nah, give me all the pain I need." she replied.

"Good." going back into character, he resumed giving her a painful grip around her wrists and then put the handcuffs on them with a loud clink. The handcuffs were so tight that it might cause her skin to chafe, but she was doing everything to keep her boyfriend/master happy, and did not want to disappoint him.

"Now up against the wall!" he ordered

"No!"

Then George slammed her against a wall, face first, with her police cap falling off of her hair. Nonetheless, Shadow Mavis was enjoying this. "Now, pretend you still won't give in."

"Sure." Mavis cleared her throat. "You can break me down all you want, but you never make me bow to you!"

"Okay, you asked for it!" Then George slammed her against the bed, pretending she was crying her eyes out. "Now what do you say?" he asked in a demanding tone of voice

"Okay!" she exclaimed. "I give in! Take me away! Just please stop the pain!"

It was silent, then George said "Brilliant! excellent job, Mavis. You captured Colin's reaction quite nicely, oh and any other prisoners who defy me."

"I know! you should be an actor!"

"Nah, you're better in acting than I am." George shrugged.

"Snuggle time!" they both said in unison, then they happily began snuggling each other on the bed, and of course, George took off the handcuffs before doing so.

Author's Note

Poor Fluttershy needs a hug, wouldn't anypony just want to hug her and tell her everything will be okay?

Charming Raccoon Thief

Not far from the destination now, the group that Johnny led were just setting camp for tomorrow. All of them decided to spend the night. Johnny was just looking at the stars with Rose, laying on the soft, grassy ground. Sonic and Knuckles were out sitting by the campfire, trying to keep warm from the cold, chilly night.

Mario was in the shelter made of boulder and trees, cleaning his hat and gloves. "Oh mama mia." he muttered. "It sure is a cold out a here." Then he immediately put his signature gloves back in his hands, along with his hat back on his hair. At least it wasn't raining, otherwise, he and the others would be freezing to the point of probably turned into icicles in the middle of the night

Knuckles was just sitting on a rock, with his arms crossed and his eyes closes along with a blank look on his face, neither happy, or sad, just emotionless. For Sonic, he was just rubbing his hands close to the crackling flames. "You cold, Sonic?" asked Knuckles flatly

"Heh, of course i'm cold." the blue hedgehog replied. "It's always like this in the autumn. Can you blame me?"

"Hmph, I'm pretty much used to is." then the red echidna opened his eyes. "You should be used to it, too. And hey, at least you're not in water." Sonic had a horrified look on his face

One thing that Sonic hated was water and swimming, not drinking it of course because he needs it, but being in a large body containing water. Just thinking about it made him want to vomit and cower under a bed sheet. "Ain't that the truth, Knux." he remarked proudly.

Knuckles made a sigh and said "Sonic,"

"Hmm?"

"Why am I so gullible?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean every damn time Eggman comes, he persuades me like i'm a puppet or a marionette, something like that. I mean, I might not be Tails, but I feel dumber than everyone else in this world."

Sonic made a sigh out of him. "Ah, Knuckles, nobody's perfect. We all have our strengths and weaknesses. And you, you are what you are, which is just fine."

The red echidna made a small smile. "Thanks, Sonic."

"No problem, buddy."

"So do you see any constellations, baby?" Rose asked her boyfriend. "Because I wish I can see any one of them."

Johnny chuckled. "I don't think so, babe. I mean I wish I i can find some, but unfortunately, it's a little hard to say. Wait.... oh, wait! I!- nevermind."

"What's wrong?"

"I thought I saw Orion, but i was wrong." Then he continued looking around the skies and the stars within the universe. Rose kept close to him, feeling the warmth of her boyfriend's arm keeping her cozy.

Clinging close to her, she asked Johnny "Do you really think Colin's okay?"

He frowned and sighed "I... do not know for sure, but one thing i know is that he is trying to stay strong, like his big brother would always do."

"I hope so."

"Me too."

"Hey guys!" Sonic called out. "Are you coming in the shelter? It's getting really late."

Both humans sat up and looked back at the campsite. "We're coming." Johnny called back to them. "Come on, Rosy. Might as well hit the haysack."

Rose made a cute yawn, and flipped her long, black hair. "You're right. I could use some shuteye myself." Then they both went inside the little shelter Knuckles made from scratch, and all called it a night.

***

As they were all asleep, it was so peaceful throughout the night, and none of George's henchmen were out trying to get the little posse.

All of a sudden a branch was heard being broken, and Johnny immediately awoke. Worried that it was an enemy, he pulled out his sword. And quietly snuck out of the tent. It was all too still to the point where it was becoming a little scary.

Nonetheless, Johnny had a weapon with him, and he remembers how bravely and well he fought with previous enemies before. All of those fencing lessons payed off for him, after all. He looked and saw that the cooler was left open with the light on.

Curious and cautious, he looked to see what was going on. Johnny didn't know if it was a bear, or a wolf trying to eat all the food. Alas, he did not see anything living. After one long, still minute, he came to a realization that it was probably just a bear that ran off.

He closed the cooler and headed back to bed. It was just then he heard a large branch break from above him, and saw a gray and blue figure yelling and falling on the ground. Luckily, Johnny stepped out of the way so it wouldn't crash on him.

"Ow." The thing said. It looked like a large, humanoid raccoon with a blue hat on his head, and a blue long-sleeved shirt. A small red pouch was attached to his left leg, and he was holding a peculiar cane with the head on the shape of a C.

The human readied himself for what the creature would do to him. The raccoon immediately got up and looked at Johnny. His face was covered in a black mask and he looked like a burglar or a thief of some kind. "Don't move!" He warned "so god help me I will kill you if you try anything funny!"

"Hey hey hey, easy there, killer." Said the raccoon. His voice was like a smooth-talking man's voice like the kind of man who would always get the girl. "Please put the sword down."

"No! Who are you? And what do you want?"

"Relax. I mean you no harm."

It was just then the others came out of the shelter to see what the commotion was all about. "Hey! A thief!" Knuckles exclaimed, seeing the raccoon. He, Sonic, and Mario readied themselves for a fight, too.

"How dare you a try to steal from us!" Mario said. "Feel the wrath a my punches of fury!"

"Wait!" Johnny warned. "I'll handle this." He then turned his eyes back to the thief. "Now, drop your cane."

The thing did what Johnny told him to do and waited for something else to happen next.

"Now answer my questions, who are you?"

"Well, my name is Sly, Sly Cooper." The creature adressed. "A descendant of the famous Cooper clan from my book. The Thievius Raccoonus."

"And why are you here?" Asked Sonic

"I've had my eyes on you guys for quite some time." Sly remarked. "I heard about what happened with you're brother. Johnny Fraser, and I want to be a service to you. Plus I might need your he,p to get back home to my world by defeating Clockwork."

The others were a little unsure to trust him. "How do we know we can a trust you?" Asked Mario.

"You look like a thief."

Sly laughed. "Yes, but I'm an honorable thief. And my code is that I only steal from other thieves, not from innocent lives or civilians like a regular cat burglar would. As a matter of fact, I have saved the world before."

"A thief fighting for justice?" Asked Knuckles with a raised eyebrow. "That's ridiculous."

"Well, haven't you ever heard the story of Robin Hood? Pretty great story and all, but you heard of him, right?"

"Yes, but he is not make believe." Knuckles noted

"True, but an honorable thief like me is not. I have morals and I do fight for justice. Just try not to blow a fuse, hothead. Wouldn't want your head to blow a casket."

The red echidna growled at Sly's cheekiness.

"Look, if you are really willing to help me find my brother, will you come with us with no tricks or thoughts of deceiving us for your own selfish gain?" Johnny said

Sly smiled and nodded a yes. "Trust me, I would be more than happy to see you and your brother reunited again. And I promise no tricks and all that. A thief's honor."

"Well... alright." Said Johnny reluctantly. "Just please help me if you really want to help save Colin."

Sly nodded again.

"By the way, how did you explain the cooler open?" Asked Sonic

"Oh. I was hungry, and even an honorable thief like moi needs his food to sustain the breath in his handsome body." By the sound of that, he sounded a little narcissistic, but turns out, he does seem like a good guy like Robin hood would be.

"Well, I would love to hear what happened with you, but I really need some sleep." Said Rose, and she made a yawn while stretching her arms in the air.

The others minus Johnny agreed and went back to the shelter.

"Look, sorry if I scared you, Johnny. Oh, and for spying on you and the others."

"It's cool. I could always use the extra he,p trying to get my brother back to me and Fluttershy in Ponyville. I might not trust you completely, Sly Cooper, but I suppose I will let you help me and my friends."

"Of course." Then Sly picked his cane back up back there in his hand. "You can just get some sleep while I can keep watch from George, his henchmen, or Clockwork try to find us. Raccoons are nocturnal, after all." He winked

"Wait, this Clockwork is working with George, too?"

"Yep. That kids gets around, unfortunately."

Johnny rolled his eyes "too damn true it hurts so bad." He agreed. "But like I said, no tricks or stealing from us."

"I promise. We'll make a great team together."

Still a little suspicious of this mysterious charmer, he went back to bed anyway to get more shuteye.

Sly was out watching out for any bad guys that might try to attack him or the campsite. While doing that, he looked back at the sleeping posse, and smiled at all of them. "I'll help you get Colin back to you, Johnny. I promise." He looked out through the landscape with his binocucom and wondered "I hope that kid's okay. What would an evil monster and an evil kid want with a poor, innocent child like Colin?"

A Pink Hippo and a Smart Green Turtle

The next morning, Johnny, Rose, Sonic, Knuckles, and Mario all awoke in unison. The birds were chirping and the morning light shun down upon them. Johnny looked over to where Sly Cooper was patrolling and guarding them throughout the night. He noticed that two new faces were with him. One of them was a large, pink hippo with a blue shirt and a mask that looked like he was in a lucha libre tournament. The other one was a small, green turtle with large glasses, a safari hat, and looked inclined to a wheelchair.

"I wonder if these guys are friends with Sly." the human thought in his thinking space. Yes, these two new faces seem peculiar indeed. "Alright!" He said to his friends. "Everybody up! Rise and shine."

Just like that, the others awoken from their slumber, and they all noticed Sly with these new guys. Could they be allies too? They both don't seem to be hostile to Sly, no, as a matter of fact, they were friendly to him. "Hmm, I wonder who Sly is talking to over there." Knuckles said.

"That's a what i'm a wondering." Mario agreed

"Hey, Sly!" Johnny called out to the charming raccoon. He, and the other two characters looked at the group. All three of them walked towards them.

"Rise and shine, campers." Sly remarked "sleep well?"

"Like a toddler." Sonic replied, stretching his arms and legs. "Just about to save a kid from being a hostage from an evil boy genius, and kick some bad guy ass!"

"Pardon the interruption." Said the turtle. His voice sounded like he had a stuffy nose, and he sounded a little funny for it. "Sly here told us about what happened, Johnny."

"He told you about that?"

'Hmm-mm. Guys, these are my teammates, Bentley the brains and demolitions expert. And Murray, the brawn, and muscle."

'Hello." Said the hippo I'm a deep voice. "No need to fear the Murray!" Then he flexed his muscles to look more tough and more serious. "But seriously, Sly told us about you Johnny." He let out a sympathetic sigh. "Me and Bentley are really sorry about your little brother."

"Right. I mean, what kind of monster would kidnap a child for ransom just to try and seize an opportunity as ruler of the universe?"

"Apparently George, Bentley." Sly pointed.

"And that's why we are here to help you all out! Sly said we can help you get Colin back." Murray remarked, looking macho again.

"Together, as the Cooper gang, we'll guarantee that we can get your brother back, Johnny." Bentley pointed. "And besides, you all might need my very high IQ of three hundred, for I can create so many wonderful inventions that it would Albert Einstein cry. Not to mention I am really good woth planning for any heists."

All of them were a little uncertain about this. Knuckles, Sonic, Mario, Rose, and Johnny huddled together and had a discussion. "Johnny, I think we should let these guys come with us." Rose quietly urged her boyfriend. "They are Sly's best friends, and part of this... Cooper gang."

"And they do seem like they can be a very sneaky bunch of people." Sonic added. "Thieves today hardly get caught."

'Well, you're not wrong. With thieves on our side, George and the bad guys might never know what will hit them. Besides, it will give us a greater chance to get Colin back, a little more muscle and firepower " said Knuckles. "Two more thieves with us might weaken George and his henchmen to a weaker state than what we might hit him with now."

"A greater percent chance a winning. We might a be a team that would a be unstoppable. Numbers can a help win a battle against an a army." Mario pointed, agreeing with the red echidna.

Johnny was a little silent for a moment. Finally, he made up his mind, and he said "these guys seem alright. They both seem pretty nice." Then they others broke up their group huddle. "Okay, you guys can help us out."

Both Murray and Bentley smiled after hearing what they wanted to hear. "Alright! When I see any enemies, I will give them the Thunder Flop!" Murray said with confidence, pounding his fists together.

"And lookout George, there is a new Genius on town, and his name is Bentley!" Then his wheelchair pulled out mechanical arms that held grenades, and bombs.

Sly joined on on their posing, and stated "That is the power of the Cooper gang!" And all three of the thieves made epic poses together to make it more awesome and convincing. The others kind of looked at them like they were like a bunch of showoffs and or circus performers.

"That's.... a confidence booster." Johnny said, a little unsure of what to think about this Cooper Gang triplet. "Anyway, we're getting close to the port city near White Tail Woods, so we can get a boat to get to George's island, and get my brother back."

"Right!" Knuckles, Sonic, and Mario said.

Sly said "I had an ancestor named Henrietta 'One eyed' Cooper, and she was a pirate. Pirating runs in my blood, so that shouldn't be a problem."

"But how are we gonna get a boat? They cost a fortune." Rose pointed. "Like thousands of dollars."

"She's not a wrong." Mario said "How are we gonna get a boat?"

Johnny was thinking and thought "It's not like we're gonna keep the boat forever, we just might ask someone if they can sail us over there. Of course we might have to pay something for the pony so he or she can help us."

"Or we can just.... borrow a boat from someone who lives over there. We can look for a good boat to borrow and when this is all over, we can bring it back to the pony it belongs to."

"And we want a boat that's tough, and sturdy, like the Murray here. I hear that island is heavily guarded, even more than a lot of places full of bad guys."

"Isn't that stealing?" Sonic asked

"No no no, it's not stealing, it's borrowing." Sly noted again.

"Well, why don't we go see someone who might give us a hand, and if any of them don't work out, I suppose we can.... borrow the boat from that pony and we'll be on our way by sea." Johnny informed. "I know it may sound evil, but I'm doing this for my brother."

"Johnny's right." said Bentley. "We can do the asking first, and then if it doesn't work, we use it anyway. Besides, thieves like us only steal from other thieves. As soon as this is all over, we can bring it back to the pony it belongs to, and maybe give him some coins as an apology."

"Pfft, yeah, that helps a lot." Knuckles muttered sarcastically

"Anyway, let's get a move on. And keep an eye for any of George's goons, they might be anywhere around here."

His friends agreed with him one at a time, and ventured down the road to the city near the White Tail Woods. They all encountered some enemies that ranged from koopas and Gombas, to many of Eggman's robots. Finally, there was also Kremlins sent from George to kill them all.

Despite this, the group managed to get rid of any enmities that got in there way. Knuckles and Murray used their mighty fists and strength to pound the bad guys into the dust. Bentley would use his lasers and bombs from his wheelchair, and Sly, thanks to his acrobatic skills, got the best of his opponents by dodging every laser, sword, and bullet that was trying to hit him.

The charming raccoon finished them off with his Cooper cane, and even took some valuable things from the fallen enemies pockets. Like diamonds, gold watches, or anything else like that, and put it on his own red pouch attached to his slender waist.

"En garde, you fiends!" Bentley said in triumph.

"Feel the wrath of my Fists of flame!" Murray added. He clasped his hands together and fire flew from his hands like a pair of torches. Every fiery punch would burn his opponents alive, killing them instantly. "Yeah! Nothing the Murray can't handle!" He said in triumph.

Colin was sitting in his cell, being sad and gloomy on his prison bed. He still hoped his big brother or anyone else in his family would try and safe him.

"Breakfast time, sweetie!" Shadow Macis sang. She put in a tray that consisted of moldy brad and rotten looking mashed potatoes.

Just looking at that roach food made Colin sick to his stomach. The boy felt like liking his own stomach right out fo his body. "I think I'm going to throw up." He said

"Oh don't be a baby." Shadow Macvis teased. "You and I both know that my evil boyfriend wants you to be alive."

"Can I please just have some water?" The boy asked with the puppy dog look in his eyes.

"Okay okay, fine." Shadow Mavis sighed "Krum!" She exclaimed. The volume of her voice spooked Colin and he fell back, landing on his butt. A Kremlin that looked like any other one, halted in front of her, saluting her as if she was a president.

"You called, mistress?" He asked in a gruff voice.

"Please give our special guest here some water." The evil girl sighed. "And.... maybe some ice would be nice too."

"Okey-dokey, miss Mavis." Then the guard went downstairs in a flash.

"He's getting water fro you, Colin. Happy now?"

"A little." He said modestly. "Do you think you can give me some.... fresh food?" He had a nervous smile on his face.

"No!" She snapped, making him whimper in fear. "Just eat you're breakfast, sweetie." Her demeanor changed from mean and harsh to high-pitched again, back to her cheerful persona

"Okay." Colin breakfasted, but it was not a very pleasant experience for him. The food tasted horrible, as did any other prison food. The only good type of prison food was water, nothing more. When he was done eating, he felt a disturbance in his intensities. "Oh no!" He shouted. Then he went to the toilet.

"One cup of water for the prisoner." Said the guard from before.

"Thank you Krum." Said Shadow Mavis. When Colin was done in the bathroom, he saw a glass of iced water on the nightstand.

The boy was still sad that he is stuck in this hellhole, but at least one good thing came to him. He promptly drank the water down, every last drop of it. Even when the ice melted within, he drank what remained of the cubes.

"Oh, look at the time, it's time for you to meet the other prisoners!" Shadow sang, and she made a giggle.

Colin 's heart immediately stopped. He knew that meeting any of these prisoners here would mean that he might end up in the hospital, or even..... dead where he was standing right now. "Umm, I don't think that's a good idea."

"Yes it is!" Said Shadow Mavis. She grabbed Colin by the arm, and rushed downstairs with him so he can meet the other prisoners. She wanted Colin to meet the other inmates because she sadistically wanted to see him cry and get hurt by them. This will not end well at all.

Getting a Boat

There they were, Johnny, Sonic, Knuckles, Mario, Luigi, Rose, and the Cooper Gang were finally at the pier near the Whitetail Woods. The town was packed with boats and bazaars with some fish in them. Now they reached the destination, now all they needed was a boat. They all hoped that it didn't cost a fortune like a thousand bits or more to borrow. Still, Sly, Bentley, and Murray would just borrow one for the team if any one of the captains are uncooperative.

"Okay, guys. You know what we have to do." said Johnny."

"Right!" the others said.

"Let's just look for a good boat, and look for the captain so we can talk to him." Johnny was reluctant to say it, but he sighed before he said "And if any of that doesn't work, then..."

"Then's when we come in." Sly said. The raccoon confidentially waved his cane around three times, and laid it on his back. Murray pounded his fist, and Bentley just crossed his arms, trying to feel tough as possible.

"Right." Johnny said. "let's just get this over with." Then they both began looking around the docks and the pier for any boats that would come in handy for them. One that was tough, and big enough for all of them to carry at once. After going through many boat captains, it was a failure. One reason was because the price was too steep, or the captains wouldn't allow them on their boats at all

Finally, they saw a boat that looked perfect, almost like a pirate ship, and it looked just as strong, except it was made of steel and not wood. "Where is he ship captain where you need one?" Rose muttered to herself

"There he is." Sonic pointed. It was a large, terrifying earth stallion with an eyepatch, and garments that looked like captain Ahab from Moby Dick, along with a white goatee. His skin color was a very pale grey and wore a leather jacket, and his mane looked ragged and ratty. His cutie mark was a gold shilling or a dabloom.

The group approached him, smoking a cigar, and Johnny was the first one to speak to him "Excuse me, sir."

"Bah, what do you landlubbers want?" he said, sounding like a grouchy fellow with a Welsh or Irish accent. "Can't ye see that I am polishing me finest treasure chest with me booty in it? along with me best harpoon?"

"Sorry, sir. But we need your help." said Knuckles. "Please, just hear us out."

"Hmph, what do ye all want from me?"

"Listen mister...."

"Iron Side." the stallion corrected. "That be me name." Then he coughed two times.

"Well, Iron Side, My little brother has been kidnapped by an evil boy named George." Johnny explained. "Could you please take us to the island where he lives so we can rescue my brother there?"

It was silent at first, but the old coot finally answered "Take ye all over to that little scalawag's island? Ha! Nopony who has ever tried to set foot on the island has never returned to tell the tale. Besides, I don't escort anypony on me precious ship. Not even for a million bits."

"Sir, please. He wants to save his little brother from the clutches of George." said Murray.

"Yeah, at a least try and a have a heart." Mario added. "No child a should not a deserve a such a fate like a this."

"Take a look at a me, and a my brother." said Luigi. "Truly you a can a open up your heart a, and try and help us." then he and Mario clung to each other.

"Hmmm, no. That is final."

"Not even for bits?"

"No means no. No piss off, I got to grab me some grub after a long day of cleaning the floors of me ship."

Running out of options, Johnny decided that this stallion is more stubborn than a Somalian wild ass, and he said "Fine. Come on guys, let's go" then he and the others tried to make it look like they were leaving Iron Side alone, but they got to an alleyway. "Okay Sly, Bentley, Murray, you guys go for plan B."

"We're on it, Johnny. Leave this to us." said Bentley. He readied his wheelchair, and Murray pounded his fists again. The large pink hippo got out of the alley way, and he looked like he was ready for a fight. Bentley followed him, and looked around the area to see if any witnesses were there or not. Turns out the cost is clear, and everyone was just about ready to go get some lunch.

The fat hippo cleared his throat, and announced "Alright! Listen up! I am looking for someone to brawl with. Any one of you ponies step right up, and try to take on the Murray if you dare!" Many ponies gathered around to hear what Murray had to say

"And this turtle in a wheelchair!" Bentley added.

Turns out this is a stage fight set up by these two, and the pretended to hate each other and call each other names so the townsfolk can watch the drama and be distracted, including Iron Side. They all chanted "Fight! Fight! Fight!" over and over again

While they were distracted enough, Sly carefully, and quietly used his cane to pitpocket Iron Side without him noticing it. He pulled out the key to the boat in success, and tip-toed away from the fake fight.

He scurried back to where the others were in the alley, and he said "I'll get on board, and start the ignition, then you guys come with me as soon as I start the boat, and when old Iron Side is out getting some food."

"Got it. Sounds like a plan. Good going, Sly." Johnny said

"Nothin' to it." The raccoon boasted. "Okay, I'll be right back." Then the raccoon climbed a building, above the roof by climbing on a rain gutter, then Sly jumped on a rope connected to another building, and quietly leaped off it, landing on the ground.

Next, the raccoon quietly got on the boat, and snuck over to where the wheel and the ignition were. Just to be sure, Sly had to make sure that there were no crew on board to bust him if he got caught doing this.

Fortunately, the coast was clear, and he put the captain's keys in the ignition, and then went back to inform the others that he was successful. When he got off to spread the word to his friends, Murray and Bentley stopped their little fake fighting, and collapsed of exhaustion.

The other ponies, including the stubborn captain lost interest, and went to their own businesses. "Okay, guys. Let's go." Sly whispered to them

"Awesome. Let's blow this hot stand." Knuckles said. All of them, including Bentley and Murray snuck on board, and the raccoon started the keys.

Iron Side heard his engine, and realized that his boat was being hijacked. As the boat went off to see, he hurridly went back to the docks to try and get it back, but it was too late. "Arrggh! You stinking bilge rats! Wait till I get me Hooves on you!"

"Don't worry, sir!" Johnny called out to the old coot. "As soon as I get my brother back, we'll give it back To you."

The old stallion gritted his teeth and angrily kicked at the ground. Now, Johnny, Rose, and their new friends finally have a boat to help rescue Colin.

Sailing for Adventure

Rights for the track go to Namco

While on the ship that they all had to steal, Luke was looking over the seas, still thinking about Colin, and of course Fluttershy and his new family. He can imagine he miserable they must be without him. It was just heart-breaking to see an innocent creature like Fluttershy cry for her son.

"It won't be long, Fluttershy. I promise." Luke muttered to himself

The one steering the ship was Murray, thanks to his super strength and muscles. "Yarggh! Feel the wrath of buccaneer Murray!" Said the hippo in a pirate voice.

Sonic was just resting on a havoc, snoring loudly. Mario and Luigi were making sure the sails were alright and intact on the crow's nest.

Bentley was coming up with ways and plans on what he and the gang should do when they arrive at the island.

So far, the green turtle was still thinking about concrete details and steps to how this will work on his blueprints.

Knuckles was working on the canons and weapons in case an enemy ship would dare to attack this one, polishing a cannonball

"Looking good, handsome." He said to his reflection before putting it in the canon. "Hey Sly, how are the swinging ropes coming along?"

"Doing good, Knuckles!" The raccoon called back to the red echidna. He was using his athletic stealth skills to climb the rope-ladders to attach them to the ship so they will stay on place

For Rose, she was looking at her boyfriend in a worried expression, knowing that he was still depressed about his brother. She walked up to him and put her hand on his shoulder. "Everything alright Johnny-bear?"

He sighed and just said "yes. I'm fine Rose" and waved his hair back. “"Whatever plan we are going to do, it better work.”

Rose gave him a sad smile, and replied "everything will be okay, Johnny. You said it yourself, Colin is tough like his big brother would be like.”

Johnny knew she was right, and said “yeah, I know that.” Then he looked at the ocean waters down below within his eyesight. The sun was sparkling over the small waves moving to and fro.

Luke like doing it, Luke threw a small pebble in the waters, and it skipped three times across the sea, and it immediately sank.

“Hey, nice throw.” His girlfriend complimented, dough a golf clap at his throw. She noticed that Johnny’s sad face didn't go away. “I’m sure we’ll get Colin back home where he belongs.” Then she kissed him on the cheek with cherry-flavored lipstick.

“"I just... don't know what I will do about my little brother.” Johnny confessed with a sigh. “"I do not know what I will be able to do without him. He’s one of the only family I have left now since mom and dad died in a house fire.”

“"Don't worry, Johnny.” Bentley interrupted this moment, moving his wheelchair up to them with what it looked like complete blueprints of some scheme. "Behold! I think I have just what we need to pull this off!”

"Like a plan?” Sly asked, coming down from the net-ladder in style. He even used his cane to grapple some objects, and swing himself on the dock with style.

“Mama Mia!” Said Mario. “"Incredible.”

“Yeah, I will give that a nine out a ten.” Luigi added

“Why a nine?”

Luigi looked rather sheepish about this, But he ultimately said “I don't a know. It’s just a my honest opinion “ and he kicked his shoe on the dock, causing s little rumble as if it was an earthquake.

"Anyway Bentley, let’s see those plans.” Sly said in confidence. Murray had to stop the boat, out the anchor on the ocean floor below the water so he can take a look at this plan that Bentley might or might not pull off.

“Well, the kid may be young and small, but do not be fooled, he is one dangerous kid that George. I can assure you all it won’t be easy getting inside his fortress, with all of the guards, and security. He probably even has lasers and traps in case intruders come inside his hideout.”

“We know that.” said Sonic. “But how will this fall through?”

“For the plan to work, we are going to need some more firepower, and it will require stealth.”

“No problem, stealth is what thieves are all about.” Sly boasted

“It’s not that simple.” Bentley stated. “Now, this will also require precision, and really depend on the element of surprise. Luckily, I have been surveying the ocean in this part of Equestria. And he pulled up a map. “Three centuries ago, an evil pirate unicorn by the name of One-eyed Jack, drowned in a squall and sank down the ocean floor, including his ship the “Silent Siren”. Now, he carried special canons called the Chimera canons. They were so powerful and tough that it was strong enough to sink a gigantic cruise ship to Davy Jones’ Locker.

“Hmm. Well, Bentley, you know I can’t swim, right?” Sly said

“I’ll do it!” Murray volunteered himself. “I’m a hippo after all. Belly flop!” but before he could hit the waters below, he was stopped by Knuckles

“Sorry Murray, as noble as it is, I’m afraid you can’t dive in the water.”

“Why not?”

“because it is guarded by a horned megaladon.” Bentley clarrified. “It’s just like the prehistoric shark back home, except it’s bigger, and it has a pair of huge horns on his head.”

“How are we gonna get a those canons then?” asked Luigi

“Well, we will need a professional swimmer that can go down there and get it from the shark’s lair.”

“If Murray can’t get down there, who can?” Johnny asked.

“Not me!” Sonic exclaimed with fright. “I do not swim.” and he crossed his arms, not amused. “no sir.”

“Come on, Sonic. Don’t be such a baby.” Knuckles said in annoyance. “Yet you call yourself a hero.”

“I am a hero! Who has saved Amy from any danger millions of times before? Me! Who saved this world from Eggman’s schemes a dozen times? Me? Who-”

“Knock it off!” Johnny exclaimed. “Focus, you guys. This is no time to try and win the spotlight. We are in a very serious situation right now.

“Who could possibly go down there and get those canons for us?” Rose asked. Then they heard a voice.

“Hey! Sly Cooper!” it sounded a little raspy and French to go with it. They all looked and saw a large purple iguana, a really large panda with fireworks on his back, and a small purple koala that looked like an aborigine.

“Problem solved.” Sly said.

“You know these guys?”

“uh-huh, they are also part of the Cooper gang.” Murray said. “One of them is my teacher, while the others two used to be enemies of ours, but now they are friends.”

“We have found you, Cooper!” said the panda in a booming, and strong Chinese voice. For the koala, he only talked in some tribal language from Australia. Then Murray and Knuckles pulled the boat aboard and attached it to the ship. “We are here for your cannonball mission.”

“Oh, I forgot to tell all of you, didn’t I?” Bentley said. He cleared his throat and announced. “I have brought our good friends and newer members of the Cooper Gang to help us just in case we need it. Johnny, Rose, meet Dimitri,”

“Bonjour.” said the purple iguana. “I will make sure that everything goes smoothly groovy, and greasy sweet.”

“oookay.” Johnny said with a raised eyebrow.

“The Panda King.” Bentley continued. “The explosives and demolitions expert, and the strongest member of our team.” Bentley continued with the introductions.

The hulking panda bowed himself with his hands together, and said “Greetings. Bentley told us about what happened with your brother, Johnathan.” It sounded very noble and like a wise-man’s type of voice, a wise kung fu sensei to be exact. “I am very sorry for what happened, and it was the same with my daughter, Jing-Kin. But I do promise I will help rescue him from that dastardly child, George.”

“Thanks. We’ll need all the help we can get.” Luke remarked.

“And this is the Guru, so as we all call him.” Bentley concluded the introductions.

The koala once again, only said aboriginal talking to the group, yet he sounded a little wise.

“Can he speak English?” Rose asked him.

“Nope, but we can help translate for you guys if needed.” Sly said. “Anyway Bentley, this sounds like a good idea letting Dimitri go down there to get those Chimera canons. But, do you think you can handle it, Dimitri?”

“Can I handle it?” Said he. “Cooper, I have done this a million times before, remember?”

“Right.” the raccoon rolled his eyes with a raised eyebrow. “You see, His grandfather, Reme Lousteau, was a professional diver who sought out treasures in the ocean floor. Well, he was until his diving gear was taken from him by a bunch of pirates, along with his booty, and.....”

“Zat’s when he retired from being a holy diver, bro.” Dimitri finished. “But now, I have his diving gear now, and i am more than happy to get my grove at ze bottom of ze ocean.” and he made a disco pose. The other Cooper Gang members rolled their eyes, feeling irritated at Dimitri’s arrogance and self-proclaimed handsomeness.

“That’s a confidence a booster.” Mario muttered sarcastically.

“Anywho, let me suit up, and I will get those canons faster than you can say LA Guns!” and he swiftly went to change into his diving gear in a speedy fashion.

“Is he always like this?” Knuckles asked, jerking his thumb at the room Dimitri was changing in

"Oh yeah.” Said Sly

"All the time!” Said Murray.

"He is quite self-centered” Bentley added.

"One of the most narcissistic people I have ever met in my life.” Panda King agreed.

“Well, in the meantime, is this everyone in the Cooper Gang that’s going to help us?” Asked Johnny

“"Well, we had another member. Her name is Penelope, but then she turned evil and mad with power.”

"Ooh, wow.”

“Yep, but we’re alright now.” Said Bentley.

“"Even though she was Bentley’s girlfriend, and broke his heart to join an enemy of ours-”

“Murray!” The others said sternly at him. "That is not helping, pal.” Sly reprimanded.

"Sorry.” The hippo, feeling a little sheepish.

In the prison, Colin was depressingly lying on his bed in his cell. The poor boy still felt a little traumatized by how he was just punched in the face like that in the mess hall. Colin completely ran out of tears to cry his eyes out, and sighed as he was thinking about all of his family. Both Fluttershy and her friends, Big Mac, and his big brother and friends.

“Oh Johnny.” He said with a small sigh. "I hope you come rescue me soon.” Then he pulled out the small picture he hid in his back pocket, and looked at it again.

Now he felt like crying, but then he realized that maybe he doesn’t have anything to fear after all. Comet Onyxtail and his boys seem very friendly for prisoners, especially the way they all beat up Death Gator to a pulp for punching the poor boy.

“I hope he’s alright.” He thought. "I just hope they protect me like they said they would.” He sat up and looked at the bars peeking outside the cell. “I’ll need all the protection I can have.

Just then, Shadow Mavis and a few guards come up to Colin’s cell, and she promptly opened the cell door. Colin knew that something bad was about to happen again. Whatever Shadow Mavis has plan for him, it cannot be a good feeling.

Nonethelesss, the boy sighed and while being brave, he asked her “What do you want with me now?”

“Oh I just thought I would have a little fun with you.” She replied in an innocent tone of voice. With a change of demeanor, she ordered the guards “Leave us!” And both of them did exactly what she ordered them to do, and left the two alone

"Okay, what happen to Comet Onyxtail, and his friends?” Colin asked

"Comet is having a little.... shocking from an electric chair as punishment. For they others, they will be spending The Who night in the box.” And she hit her baton on her hand.

The boy was worried and then asked her "are you going to kill him?”

“Oh ho ho no.” She replied with a giggle. “We’ll stop shocking him when I decide he has suffered enough. But enough of that.”

What about Death Gator? what happened to him?”

"We... had to execute him for assaulting you like that sweetie. And like me and George told you before, my boyfriend wants you alive so he can have Equestrian World domination!”

Colin gulped in his threat, but found it a little a little difficult to swallow his fear at a time like this. “What are you going to do with me?”

Shadow Mavis had a sly smirk on her face and replied “I am going to have some fun with you.” And then she sat next to him on the bed, and began swirling her finger on his head

It was definitely making Colin feel uncomfortable. "S-stop that. What are you doing?”

“Just a little something I like to call a flirting.

“Well, my heart belongs to Scootaloo.” He said firmly with his arms crossed.

“Fine, it I would just like to say how cute you are.” And then she kissed him on his cheek. Olin immediately wiped the spit off his face and washed his hand on the sink. “"Hey, did I give you the cooties?” She asked in mock offense.

"No.” He said, feeling like tearing up once more from her harassment.

"Oh come on, there’s nothing wrong with being so cute.” It just made Colin flush even redder on his face.

The next thing she did was gently hugged him from behind and kissed his head many times. “"Eww, stop that!”

“I’ll never stop.” She made another giggle. “I’m going to flirt with you and you’re going to like it.” And then her Harris,net continued on. Colin didn't know which was worse; endeavoring in this prison, or facing the harassment he was given right now.

Diving for Cannons

Dimitri was more than ready to get down there to the bottom of the ocean to recover the Chimera cannons for the ship so they can be prepared for any naval attacks from George and his minions. His spear gun was cocked and loaded, ready to kill any aggressive fish like sharks or barracudas, not to mention the monster called the Horned Megalodon.

"C'est magnifique." Dimitri said, preparing to jump off the ship. "Where should I put the Chimera cannons just in case there is dozen of them? More treasure means more danger. Zat's what my grand-pere always told me."

"Not a problem. Way ahead of you, Dimitri." Bentley said. He pulled out a switch, and pressed the big red button with a beep. A large bet appeared from the left side of it, where Dimitri was. "Behold, my state of the art copper mesh net. Perfectly unbreakable to the heaviest things it can carry. It can even carry thousands of barbells."

"Perfect!" then the iguana put his diving mask on, and took a deep breath. "Wish me luck, my friends."

"Bon chance, Dimitri." Johnny remarked.

"Merci." Dimitri happily replied to him, then he made a so-called graceful dive with style, and the sound of heavy splashing was heard.

Therefore, Dimitri was already diving down the depths of the ocean. While swimming down, he saw many beautiful things like schools of fish, and a few eels swimming by him.

So many coral reefs such as brain coral on the rocky ocean floors, and anemones woth clown fish hiding inside to keep the predators from eating them as their lunch.

Despite the beautiful sightings of the ocean life, Dimitri also had to proceed with caution, for even a peaceful place such as the ocean has it's hazards.

"Hmmm, okay, where to look for cannons in the ocean." He thought to himself, looking at his surroundings to see any clues.

First, he tried to investigate a few eel homes under the coral reefs, and a few times he would get bitten for "invading their privacy. Nonetheless, the eels didn't harass him so much. As soon as they bite Jim just this one tome, they would just swim back to tear home

Turns out the eels were only doing warning bites at him, telling him not to disturb, or go away.

Dimitri made a small growl of irritation. "Well, at least a couple of dancing sea snakes fidn't bite my beautiful and flawless skin that shines under the sun."

He continued downward, and then he caught a glimpse of a great white shark ahead of him.

This time, Dimitri was more than prepared to take on the meat-eating fish. Cockiness his spear gun, he saw the shark standing still as soon as it got a glimpse of him.

Clearing his mind, Dimitri was focusing on what the shark would do to him. The big fish swam closer to him, baring it's teeth at him, and his eyes looked big, black, and beady.

It stood still for a moment, and then it Suddebly charged at the marine iguana. Luckilly, Dimitri was quick and he dove up out of the way.

"Hahaha! You missed me, you silly shark!" He taunted. "Sure you can dance better then zat!"

Immediately turning back aroud, the shark charged at him again, but this time, it was faster than before, and it almost got Dimitri in it's teeth.

Feeling a little spooked, he muttered "Zat was too close." And now he decided to be more serious about this. He does hava a job to do after all, and didn't want to keep his teammates waiting any longer.

As the great white prepared to charge at him once more, more mad than ever, Dimitri readied his spear gun, aimed it at one of the eyes, and fired.

Blood was spilling out of the vicious fish, and it flipped dead in the waters.

Smiling triumphantly, Dimitri blew at the tip of his spear gun, like a gun-slinging cowboy would do after a draw.

"Well, that's taken care of." He said." Then he proceeded to look for the Chimera Canon upgrades.

Not seeing anything at this level, Dimitri realized that if it's in a sunken ship, he has to go deeper and deeper for more answers. When he dove deep enough, he caught a glimpse of an old, wrecked pirate ship that was split in half, and covered in coral and seaweed.

"Aha! I have found it! Groovy, man!" Dimitri said in triumph. Feeling more than happy to see that old ship below him, he swam inside with caution, and cocked his spear gun again. It was just then Bentley came to his speaker next to his ear.

"Come in, basilisk." Bentley said "this is the green soft shell speaking. Have you found the goods?"

"Bentley, please don't start with that, s'il vous plait. It's becoming a little nul (annoying.)" Dimitri complained with his eyes narrowed.

"What he means to say is, have you found the ship, Dimitri?" Sly came through.

"Affirmative. I am going down there now. Ready ze net."

"Got it, Dimitri!" Said Murray. "This strong hippo will lower the ne for ya to put the Chimera cannons on. The Murray will pull them back up as soon as you have them all."

When Dimitri got inside the ship, he carefully swam in the captain's quarters, and found a skeleton of a pirate stallion, who was on top of a big treasure chest. "Jackpot! I hope zees are ze canons inside. Rubbing his fingers, he slowly opened the chest up, and it a load of canon upgrades, and it has golden lion heads with mouths open, possibly where the canons will poke through.

"Aha! I found it, guys!" He contacted his friends.

"Do you need any help with that before the megalodon comes?" Sonic asked him. "They can be really heavy to carry with just one person. Unless if you're like Murray or Panda King."

"Pfft, do not worry. Dimitri can handle anything pn his path to the dance floor." He boasted. "I a, not scared of some silly, overgrown shark. If I was my grandfather, I would Man up and face him head on."

"If I were you I would stop talking and get those canons up here, now." Johnny said.

"Alright, alright." And he tried to see if he could lift a large chest like this one. Not wanting to stay here and wait for the gigantic horned megalodon to come and rip him to bits, Dimitri carefully lifted the chest from the bottom, and was straining himself. He tried with all of his might and effort, but alas, it was too heavy for him.

"Merde!" He cursed. "Guys, we might need to go with plan b. This chest is so heavy and it might cramp my style and dance moves, baby."

"Don't worry, Dimitri, we know something like this would happen. Hang on, we are sending you a large fishing wire. As soon as it gets down to your level tie it around the chest and pull on it two times, then we will bring them up to shore."

"D'accord." Dimitri said.

It took a long thirty seconds for the wire to come, it was so thick, like a big, and wide straw. By the looks of it, it could lift fish up to three hundred pounds. Dimitri hurriedly tied the rope to the chest like a birthday present, and he ya keep on the wire two times. Just like that, Murray was pulling it up, and the Panda King was helping him to make it faster.

"Parfait! I'll get back up there and have a little victory dance." Dimitri said. While swimming, he thought "well, that was easier zen I thought. I did not even encounter a really stupid, gigantic, brainless, ugly, horned-"

Then he was interrupted by a rough wind blowing against him. Feeling caught in a standstill, he slowly turned around, and there it was, the mighty horned megalodon. It looked like any other shark, except it had a pair of horns on it's head, and items skin was black instead of white. Instead of being black and beady, it had red eyes that had the color of blood on it.

Dimitri gulped and he sheepishly said on the microphone "Uhhh, guys, the shark just found me and wants to make an iguana burger out of me."

"Hang in a there, Dimitri." Mario said. "Shoot a the eye. It's a how you repel a shark."

"Yes. I have seen this a trick multiple times a before." Luigi added.

Looking back at the colossal beast, Dimitri was more than terrified. Nonetheless. He readied himself for another fight with an even bigger and badder shark this time. The beast made a small rumble, probably a growl, and bared his man-sized teeth at him.

It was a do or die situation for him, but Dimitri readied his spear gun once more, and he carefully aimed at the megalodon. "It's now or never." He muttered. At first, it was all silent, but then the shark opened it's mouth, ready to chomp on him in a single bite. Dimitri fired, and the spear landed inside his mouth.

Letting out a loud, ear-piercing roar, the shark was more mad than before. While trying to get the spear out of it's mouth, it gave Dimitri just enough time to escape and get back on the ship.

Having a loud splash being heard, Dimitri landed right on his butt on the ship. The others went to check on him.

"You did it!" Rose said. "You got the canons!"

"Oui. Now let's get out of here before that overgrown fish-" then another splash was heard, emerging from the waters. "Gets back."

"Whoa! You weren't kidding about him being this huge, Bentley." Johnny noted

"Indeed. Just look at the size of that monster." Panda King agreed. "How will we fight it and kill it?"

"Maybe we won't need to." Murray noted. "We have the guru remember?"

"Excellent idea, Murray." Panda asking acknowledged him. "Well Guru, you heard him, teynand sooth the beast."

The small guru made yet another aboriginal sentence, and Murray threw him on top of the shark's head. The bast was shaking around, and flailing with all his strength, but Guru held on to one of his horns for dear life.

After many futile attempts to get the Guru off of it's back, the purple koala saw that this was the right moment to mind-control it." Using his magic differs, he rubbed against the top of the shark's head.

It became less and less agitated, and it was calm. Everyone, minus the Cooper gang, were white surprise that such a small guy like the Guru could calm and sooth a beast such as the horned megalodon.

"Way to go, master!" Murray shouted.

"Should we a kill it a now?" Asked Luigi.

"No. Don't worry. Guru knows exactly what he is doing, fellas." Sly admired. "he's conquered a giant squid called the crusher, and we took down a whole pirate ship with it on our side."

"Really?" Johnny said in surprise. "Wow, I'm actually glad that I let you guys come with us to save my brother."

The Panda King made a smile on his face. "Of course, we will do everything we can to help poor Colin from that evil child, George. Even if we die trying." He remarked. "With my fireworks, and flame-fu techniques, we will surely be an unstoppable force." and he clasped his right fist against the palm of his left him.

Both Johnny and Rose smiled hearing that. By the sound of the Chinese panda's voice, they might have a greater chance to rescue him from that demonic George. "So now what?" asked Rose. "Do we just let the shark go?"

"For now, yes. The Guru probably soothed the megalodon completely, so therefore, he have yet another new friend to help us out." Bentley noted.

"Alright, master!" Murray called out to him. "You can let go of him now. He's a good shark now!"

The purple koala called down to Murray with yet another sentence in the aboriginal language. The he calmly ordered the shark to put him down, back on the ship, and it made a low rumble, probably a calm growl.

Just like that, the shark slowly went back into the ocean waters.

"Well, let's get to work on these canons!" Sonic said.

"You read my mind, buddy." Knuckles agreed, pounding his fists together. Just like that, they all went to work on the Chimera cannons for any attacks. By the looks of the design, and how powerful the cannonballs looked, George's naval army will not stand a chance. There were even grape shots to go with it.

Pirate wars

In his prison cell, Colin was looking at the ceiling in a sad state, and felt a few dry stains of tears on his cheeks.

However, he couldn't give up any hope at all, and should have faith in his new family.

He was trying so hard for him to be patient, but it was starting to slowly dim and Colin's patience and even his sanity if this kept up

The only good thing about being here was that, there was a nice stallion named Comet Onyxtail, and his friendly chain gang in here to protect him as much as they can possibly do. It was rather quiet since most of the other inmates were already fast asleep.

Of course, there were a few stragglers that woukd complain and male some noise and cursing at thw top of their lungs. Mavis and her guards had to go over to the cells where they were making the noise, and brutally beat them to keep them quiet.

When it died down, there was complete silence, except for the sound of crickets chirping and a few sounds of snoring from a few inmates, who were quite the heavy sleepers.

Turning over sadly, Colin said to himself "If only mommy and daddy were here. They would know what to do, along with Princess Celestia and Luna. They would figure put what to do."

"Oh I wouldn't count on that." Said Shadow Mavis with an evil smirk on her face. "They can't help you because if they do try to do anything to set you free, then...."

"Then what?" Colin asked nervously.

Smacking her baton on her hand a few times, she wickedly said "we will kill you." This made a Colin pale as a baby horse, and sick to his stomach, like he was suffering from a case of botulism. He felt like crying once again, but he was completely out of tears to bawl out at this time.

"Ah, but since you are so cute, I will go easy on you." and she made a wink at him. "Just don't tell my cute, and ingeniously evil boyfriend i said that that, it will be our little secret." and she made an evil chuckle. "Now then, time for another arrest."

"another one, but hat doesn't make any sense, I'm already in jail and- Ahh!" He was cut shortly when Shadow Mavis tackled him and forcibly tied his hands behind his back

"Nonsense!" She said in a playful voice of joy, at least, Her definition of joy and violently putting handcuffs on Colin again. It was a very firm grip, that Colin's wrists were starting to chafe and hurt him.

"Ow! Ow!" He exclaimed in agony. "You're hurting me!"

"Ah, don't be such a crybaby." Mavis shrugged cruelly. "You'll only feel a little pinch. That's all.... Not! Hahahaha!!" She cackled wickedly. It almost sounded like a magpie, crow, or a raven calling. It was so much for Colin to bear.

When she was finished, Mavis threw him on the bed violently, and pulled out her baton, whacking her hand a few times with it. Colin was too scared to know what she was going to do with him.

All of sudden, he felt a really sharp pain hit against his butt. Turns out it was painful spank. "Ow!" He shouted, feel like crying again

"We're going to have some more fun together, pretty boy." She said with an evil grin. Then. Very mercilessly, she began wacking Colin's hindquarters with her baton. It was a really stinging pain that made a Colin feel like he was sitting on a bonfire or a campfire.

The whacks were so painful that a few tears streamed down the poor boy's face. He wished that this would just end and go away, but the pain was only beginning for him to experience.

"Let me hear you say uncle!" She said sadistically while still spanking him. His but was starting become red from the impacts from her baton. It was worse than how a mother would spank a child for being naughty or slung something wrong, but he knows that Fluttershy would never do something so horrible and horrendous like this.

"Please! Stop it!" He screamed.

"I didn't catch that."

"Uncle!" He said. "Uncle! Uncle!"

"Say what?"

"Uncle! Uncle! I said uncle!" He shouted once again, but to no avail, she continued spanking him mercilessly for a few long minutes, and then she decided to stop and had her fun. Meanwhile, Clover Venture, one of Comet's boys was hearing it on the other side of the wall. It was breaking his heart that a helpless boy was suffering toture like this.

"Goddammit." he muttered. "Hang in there, Colin." He just wish he could have the strength to bust out of this hellhole called a cell and go to his aid, along with giving Shadow Mavis a piece of his mind, such as stomping on her skull until it cracks. Wild Lightning, Jet Set, and Silver Spirit tried to keep him restrained.

"Easy there." said Silver. "I would love to help him too, but if we try to start yet another prison riot, they'll give us the electric chair as an execution."

Really hating to admit it, he was right, and Clovis gritted his teeth in defeat. "Dammnit." he said again. "If only Comet was out of solitary confinement, he would know what to do."

"here here." said Jet Set. "I just hope that kid is tough as he says."

Meanwhile, back on the other side of the cell, Colin had loads of tears streaming down his cheeks of pain and sadness all at once.

"There, better now, right?" Shadow asked him as if she was never spanking him in the first place.

"No." Colin whimpered.

"Oh don't worry, it will only last for.... a couple of hours by the look of this." then she sat next to him and cuddled with him against his will.

At sea, the skies were clear and the whole rescue party was ready for anything that can come in their way, since they have the new Chimera cannons to protect them from even the strongest battleship.

While on the lookout, Luigi saw a small figure that was sailing closer to the ship he and the gang were on. "Mama Mia." he muttered "Hey! Listen up, my friends!" he called down to them below. "I think a there is a ship approaching us!"

"Is it one of George's minions?" asked Panda King

"I don't know." said Mario."

Bentley pulled out his binocucom and zoomed in to see what it was, and just as the others thought, it was indeed a pirate ship, but it looked metallic and instead of Kremlings, Koopas, Goombas, it had robots with creepy looking smiles on them. The sales were black and it had a creepy loooking man with an evil smile.

"It's... robotic, like no pirate ship I have ever seen before." the turtle said. "It looks like something I wish i created or upgrade our signature ship back home.

"Wait a minute." Sonic said, recognizing "I've seen that ship somewhere before." then he took the binocucom and tried to see for himself. "Ah! It's Eggman!" he realized

"Eggman? That's just what we needed." Knuckles remarked.

"I just hope that zees canons will work against a ship like zis one." Dimitri remarked. "If zey fail, then we have came all zis way for nothing."

"Fear not." said Panda King. "If all else fails, we have fireworks on our side." then the gigantic panda banged his fists together

The small guru made a sentence in the aboriginal language and tapped the ball of his staff with his finger three times.

"You got that right, master!" Murray agreed with him.

"Attention Johnny Fraser!" said a gruff man's voice. There was a small ship that had Dr. Eggman flying it. "Turn around now, or face the wrath of me: Dr Robitnik!"

"Where the hell is my brother!?" Johnny screamed at the mad scientist.

"Don't worry. George is taking good care of him, in jail." then he cackled loudly like any mad scientist would do.

"Jail!?" Johnny exclaimed in horror. Now feeling infuriated, He took out the sword that Severin gave to him before he left Ponyville on this journey, and tried to jump at Eggman with full zeal, but he was suddenly stopped by the others, trying to calm him down

"Easy there, turbo!" Sly said. "Killing him won't bring him back!"

"He's right." Rose said. "Please Johnny, take it easy."

It took a little while, but finally, Johnny calmed his emotions and was not so furious, but still wanted to fight Eggman and his robot minions.

"Don't think you can try to stop me, you fools!" Eggman taunted. "I am the greatest mind in the whole universe!"

"We'll see about that, Dr.!" Knuckles said.

"Robots, attack!!"

then many robot pirates swung on ropes and boarded the gang's ship. Clever as that doctor was, they all fought back gallantly. Sonic was using his spin dash ability, and Knuckles was landing a big line of punches with his amazing strength and did the Maximum Heat Knuckles attack many times.

Mario and Luigi worked together as brothers by performing the Bounce Brothers move on many pirate robots fighting them. They were rather unusual techniques, but also useful. Both Mario and Luigi did a couple more moves together like the Splash Bros, Chopper Bros, Swing Bros, and Fire bros, and together they were unstoppable.

"Here we go!" both brothers said in excitement and unison.

Sly was using his athletic skills to dodge many attacks and whacked many enemies with his cane. Murray didn't really need any help, no he was a like a brick wall to these mechanical menaces. Bentley used a set of missiles and even used a sword to fight off these enemies, along with some bombs to go with it.

Johnny was furiously lashing out at his sword at any robot he would come in contact with, and he was quite amazing at it. He was like a bane to robots everywhere.

The Panda King was using his "Flame-fu" techniques and it was a perfect type of kung-fu fighting style, and the Guru was more than happy to take control of one robot just by hopping on it's back and short-circuiting it, like his own battle-suit.

Dimitri was a fighter that likes to dance to it, and did many disco moves while landing many blows on the machines, and fired purple lasers from his gold ring, causing them to malfunction and drop down like they died.

"Ahhhh! Let's Dance!" he shouted boldly and proudly. He even fired his speargun at some of them, right through their bodies.

"Arghh! We cannot give up you morons." said the robot captain from the enemy ship. "Fire the cannons!"

"Uh oh. Knuckles, Panda King, Murray, ready the Chimera cannons." Bentley said.

"Gotcha, Bentley!"

"On it!" said the red echidna.

"Affirmative." Panda King added, then all the muscle members of the posse swiftly got to work on the cannons and the cannonballs, with the Panda King himself adding fireworks to them to make the balls deadlier and more dangerous, like frag bombs.

"Fire!" Johnny ordered as soon as all cannonballs were inside the cannons. In a flash of light, the canons flew like runaway meteorites, and caused great damage to the robot ship.

Eggman cowered and dodged as many blasts as possible. "Oh dear. This can't be good." he muttered to himself.

It was the perfect oppurtunity for Johnny and the gang to swing aboard the robot ship, and plunder every piece of living scrap on it.

Eggman was even more scared now, and he tried to fight them himself by firing some missiles at them, but Sonic would kick each one away from him and his friends.

Finally, when the robot ship was starting to sink, Eggman tried to escape but was stopped by a spin-Dash by Sonic. Quivering pathetically, he said "alright alright! I give I give!"

Grabbing his threat, Johnny said "tell me where Colin is! Now!!"

"Alright alright, I'll tell you. The prison is on George's island, that's where you can find the boy! I swear, you are sailing on the right track."

"Good! Now what do you think we should do with you, doctor?" Johnny pointed his nimcha at the scientist, but then Eggman had a trick up his sleeve; he threw a signature Eggman smoke bomb, and it temporarily blinded Johnny and the others.

"Sacre bleu!" Dimitri cursed. "He got away."

"Come on, we got to get back on the ship!" Rose stated. Then one by one, they all went back to their own shop, and saw the robotic pirate one sinking down to the bottom of the sea.

"You okay, Johnny?" Asked Sly.

"I'm fine. You heard what he said, we are on the right course."

"He is definitely not wrong." Bentley said

"But if there was a pirate ship here, there could be more when we go further into George's island." Murray noted.

"Don't worry, with these canons, nothing can stand in our way." Sonic said, patting one of the canons. "These babies do massive, chaotic damage."

"We'll be ready for anything else." Said Johnny confidentially. "And let's not forget about our extra help a little earlier today."

"Right!" They all agreed with him, then they continued sailing to the evil boy's island.

Coming up with a Plan

On the ship, Johnny and the crew were suffering a few more encounters with pirate ships that were allies of George and his Cronies. Whether it was Eggman's robots, or Kremlins looking like old fashioned pirates, it wasn't an easy sail.

Nonetheless, with ten Chimera cannons, the others were able to blast their enemies into Davy Jones' locker where they belong.

"Careful Knuckles!'" Sonic warned his friend. "They have guns!" The red echidna scoffed at this little warning. "Try not to do anything rash! Wouldn't want ya to get shot in the head!"

"Pfft, don't worry about me, Sonic. I'll be just fine." Said Knuckles. "Bentley, do you have any bombs with you that I can throw at those meathead ships? I wanna try something with them. And Panda King, do you think you can give me a few of your fireworks, too?"

"What are you a planning to do, Knuckles?" Asked Mario curiously.

Bentley himself was just as confused along with the gigantic panda. "Wait. You want to combine my bombs with the Panda King's fireworks?"

"And with my maximum heat Knuckles Attack!" The echidna added.

"Very well. I hope you do know what you are doing, red echidna." Panda King said, giving Knuckles a few of his fireworks. "Treat them wisely, for if you use them too long, they will explode and kill you on impact."

"I know what I'm doing, don't ya worry." Combining Bentley's bombs, and Panda King's fireworks, he performed stylish throwing with his fists at one kremlin ship. Performing his ultimate signature attack, and went through many of the monsters in a speed of light with a red beam passing by when he goes.

While in the air, he threw the last bomb firework on the center, almost making it sink, and then he landed on it straight hard with a powerful punch. Not only that, but when he hit the deck, red fireballs erupted out of nowhere like magic, killing many kremlins nearby, and causing the ship to go down in flames, until they hit the water of course.

"Haha! I blew up that ship to Kingdom Come!" Knuckles praised himself proudly and with pride.

"At a boy, Knuckles!" said Sly. "Alright, Murray, let's see if we can take out that robot tincan called a ship."

"Gotcha, Sly!" Murray said. "Time for the Murray to use the Thunder Flop!!!" Both he, Sly, and Bentley went on the ship as a trio. As many more battleships came near them, Guru went as far as to summon the horned Megaladon to help stop the attacks. The horned fish destroyed a total number of ten ships with it's mighty strength, and many robots and kremlins.

One robot pirate punched Sly in the stomach, but Murray punched it to million tiny pieces of scrap metal with his mighty fists of power.

Sly made a full recovery and then electrified his cane, and swung around at many robots in his way, causing the ones he had hit to short circuit and malfunction, making them unable to fight on any further.

"Nice hitting, Sly!" Bentley said. "Good thing you still know a few tricks up your sleeve."

"I'm a Cooper, Bentley." Sly remarked proudly. "It's what Coopers do. Uh oh, look out, Bentley!"

The green turtle turned around and used his wheelchair to pull out a crossbow and it was armed with a bomb. With one of the leading robot pirates after him, Bentley used his rockets to hoover in midair, and flew to a crows nest. While the robot was trying so hard to get the arrow off his back, Bentley pushed the demolition switch, and an explosion was seen below, so powerful that it was making the ship sink to Davy Jones' Locker.

"Come on Sly, Murray, we have to get off this contraption, posthaste!" Bentley called to his best friends. The raccoon walked on a harpoon rope back to the ship while Murray had some help from the Guru by using the shark as a landing platform.

"Nothing can beat the Cooper gang!" Murray exclaimed in complete triumph.

Meanwhile, Johnny was slicing and dicing at many Kremlins and robots trying to invade the ship. It was not an easy task but Johnny was kicking ass against the bad guys trying to stop him from rescuing Colin and bringing him back to Equestria. After impaling a large Kremlin with a mace and looking obese, Johnny moved on to the last pirate captain that looked more formidable than any of Eggman's robots combined.

"Come on, you tin-canned son of a bitch! Let's dance." Johnny said, feeling more prepared to disable the robot leader

"bring it on, whelp!" the captain replied in a monotonous robot voice. Swinging their sword, the captain pulled out two extra arms and was wielding four instead of two. Not sure if he could win this thing, Johnny had no choice. He either had to die saving Colin from George, his allies, and his minions, or die trying.

"I don't care how many arms you have, I'll go down turning you into scrap metal!"

"Good luck!" said the robot. A large fight ensued between Johnny and the robot captain, it was like he was general Grievous from Star Wars. Making the first strike, Johnny thrusted at his chest, but the mechanical abomination used all four arms to block and close it like a paper shredding when doing it's work.

Dimitri was doing some dance moves while fighting some robots and kremlins, and had an basket-jilted saber with him, and fought like a master fencer, but more powerful and extreme, with a touch of grace to go with it.

"Let's dance!" Said the purple iguana. After decapitating a Kremlim grunt, he boasted by saying things like "You call zat fighting? My grand-Pere kills quicker zen you! Hahaha!"

"You'll pay for that, stupid lizard man!" Said a kremlin in a very hoarse tone of voice like he was gargling nails. While charging in full zeal, Dimitri landed many blows, and the opponent was trying to improvise, like headbutt him to get him off balance, hit Dimitri immediately recovered and did the moonwalk dance while swinging his sword at his opponent.

Finally, Dimitri jabbed his rapier at the Kremlin's chest, killing him instantly with a funny death cry.

"Oh oui! Zat's how you do it!" And he did a victory dance. He merely got off balance when another pirate was trying to kill him, but Dimitri caught the strike just in time before he could have been killed.

The robot was absolutely relentless, and he wouldn't stop until Johnny was dead and he didn't even care how he would do it, since he was a creation by Dr Eggman himself, who was a very crazy mad scientist. Sure, the inventor can be all bark and no bite, but his robots can be nasty pieces of work depending on what kind of robots Eggman creates. The pirate captain was definitely a formidable opponent.

When the robot tried to slice Johnny with one of his sword, the human dodged and rolled to the left. The captain was having great difficulty trying to remove the sword from the wooden floorboard, and it was just an appropriate amount of time for Johnny to slice at the first arm, breaking it instantly. The fallen arm twitched and short circuited and then died down.

"You'll pay for that, pathetic human!" said the captain, with his eyes glowing red, probably because he is extremely mad now. It meant that Johnny would have to have quicker wits than he previously had before. It would also mean that the captain would become more smarter than before when facing against his opponent.

Swinging his heavy swords again, it tried to slice Johnny's head, but Johnny was smarter than the mechanical abomination, and more complex.

"Fear not, Johnny!" said the Panda King, coming to his aid. "I will help you with this nuisance in our way." then he conjured fireballs with his fists again, ready to take out the captain with some flame-fu moves.

"You don't scare me, you overweight bear!" said the captain in his monotonous voice with an angry look in his eyes. Using three of his remaining sword, it tried to slice them both like an employee at a Benihana restaurant.

"Booming chop!" Panda King exclaimed. He threw a mighty chop of fire on his upper left arm, breaking it on impact.

Seeing that their captain was in trouble, the robots and the kremlins came to his aid, but many of them were stopped by Rose and her kung-fu moves, and the others with their own fighting styles. Only five robots and three Kremlins were stopping the Panda King and Johnny.

The Panda King punched, chopped, and kicked them until two Kremlins remained. Making fire from his fists again, Panda King exclaimed "Palms of Thunder!" and with a mighty swing, he used the palms of his hands to flattened the goons with with beefy hands, and it made them burn into a crisp. Then the martial arts master turned back to the robot captain,

"You may have defeated some of my men, but you will not win against me, I assure you!"

"We'll see about that!" Johnny countered it.

While he was busy slashing at every attack the robot was trying to give him, the Panda King was busy sneaking up behind him, and he shouted "Fiery Wheel!" and did a ground attack with chop, and it immediately broke the legs of the robot. The captain had a look of disbelief in his eyes, and immediately fell to the floorboard with a boom and a clang behing heard.

It was the perfect oppurtunity for Johnny to finish the robot off. "You will never win, Johnny Fraser!" said the captain "You will all forfeit your lives in trying to stop Eggman, or George. You are no match for them!" then he made a monotonous laughter

"Shut up you metallic crap!" Johnny snapped, and then he thrusted his nimcha through the Robot's head, destroying it for good. Like this, everyone cheered in triumph, for they have won yet another naval battle against pirates sent by George.

"How long do you think we can keep this up?" Asked Sonic. My fists are starting to hurt a little from all that punching and fighting."

"We'll do this as much as it takes." Said Bentley. "We're only halfway to George's island now. So hopefully, it will only take one, two, or three more days until we reach it."

"Yes, but how do we get inside?" Said Johnny. "As soon as George's men se us, they will know exactly who we are."

"He's a right." Said Luigi. "For a young boy, he sure is a smart. How will we all a penetrate the dragon's lair?"

"You're right." Said Bentley. "It will not be easy.

"But like I said, me, Bentley and Murray got into many places guarded like George's island over the years, and I come from a family of master thieves." Sly noted. "We'll get Colin out of there, we promise if it's the last thing we do."

"Yeah Johnny, no one tries to kidnap a child for world domination!" Murray said, sounding ready for another fight. "When that happens, they got to feel the wrath of the Murray!"

"So, what kind plan were you thinking about, Bentley?" Asked Knuckles

"Well, to get inside the prison, we will need to start disabling the communications that announce lockdowns or when a prisoner goes AWOL. Next we will need to key to Colin's prison cell without alerting any guards. Murray, I need you to take out the alarm horns in the prison. We wouldn't want to alert any guards while we are trying to bust in the prison."

"Check!"

"Panda King, I am afraid that fireworks would be to noisy to sneak inside prison, so we will have to try a backup plan."

"What else can temporary replace the beautiful fireworks?" Asked the gigantic panda.

"You can still use your powerful flame-fu techniques against any guards, but for now, we need keep it quiet." Bentley continued. "If any alarm bell goes out, let's just say... we'll be in for the fight of our lives."

"I don't care." Said Johnny. "I need to get Colin out of here. He is too sensitive for the big house."

"We know, sweetie." Said Rose, putting a hand on his shoulder. "But some things take time, and it requires patience. Besides, I have seen what Colin is like. He can be as tough as nails like his big brother."

Thinking about what Rose was saying about his brother being tough like his big bro. "That's true."

"You should really listen to her." Said Knuckles. "If we are going to make this plan work, we will need to be precise, and some things do require patience and precision. Just please let Bentley finish his plan."

"Yes, for they have helped me with my daughter from the evil General Tsao, and the plan was absolutely foolproof." Panda King added.

Sighing, Hohnny said "continue, Bentley"

"With Pleasure. Now, sly I need you to pitpocket a few lone guards for any keys to the cells to get Colin out of that rathole. It won't be easy, for the guards can be quite paranoid, especially during the night shift."

"Nothing I can't handle." Sly said.

"Guru, if all else fails, you can bring out the horned megaladon to chomp on many boats as possible if they have any soldiers or guards."

And the koala made an aboriginal remark possibly saying "I understand completely."

"Dimitri, we will need your diving skills again, for another way of getting inside, there will be spotlights and lasers. There is a cent underwater that leads to another part of the prison, the security room. It is the place where all the lasers and spotlights will be activated. After you take care of that, I will step in and try to hack into the computer to find Colin and get past any security that might be activated by any sudden movements."

"Like what?" Asked Mario

"Security cameras and laser torrents hooked to the ceiling for intruders."

"That sounds easy enough." Dimitri said

"Ho ho, it's not that simple, Dimitri" Bentley noted. "There are a few mines to keep out any intruders from coming inside through the underwater vent."

"Pfft, I am a macho, macho man. Dimitri is ze the master master of stealth like you guys. I have dealt with pesky mines before."

"Okay."

"And what about me?" Asked Johnny.

"Well, Johnny, after you, Sonic, Knuckles, Mario, and Luigi take care of the guards after everything is disabled, that's where you rescue Colin with Rose, and then we get the heck out of George's island, take him back to Fluttershy and his family in Ponyville, and then We all live happily ever after and go back to our own worlds."

"But wait, what he booby trapped the whole place?"

"Then... we'll have to improvise somehow." Bentley answered feeling a little unsure

"What? I thought you were a genius?"

"Calm down, Knux." Sonic tried to restrain him from his short temper.

"Look, I don't think we have to worry about anything like that yet."

"Sly's right." Johnny said. "I don't like waiting, but you guys are right, some things do take time." Then the rocker made a sigh.

"Got it."

"I feel like cooking hamburgers right now, anyone hugnry?" Murray offered, then everyone laughed.

Colin's torture by Tickling

Colin was out in the prison courtyard. Many inmates were all doing tough activities like lifting barbels or making license plates through a machine. Other activities were card games in some tables like mahjong or poker or gin rummy, but of course, since the prisoners couldn't have any money with them, they used small pebbles to substitute for that. Despite how scary and terrifying these prisoners looked, good ole Comet Onyxtail and his little chain gang were there to keep Colin company and help him from any approaching danger, like last time.

"How you pulling in there, kiddo?" asked Comet, sitting next to him.

"Just... trying to stay strong. Ow!" he immediately stood up from the hard bench he was sitting on. Apparently, he was still trying to cope with some of the pain on his butt from the smacking Shadow. "Boy that Shadow Mavis really did a number on my bottom, ow." he added.

"Was it that bad?" asked Silver Moon

"Uh-huh." the boy sadly admitted.

"Well we did kinda heard you next to the cell you were in." said Clover Venture. Then he made a small growl of anger and hate. "I just wish I could have gone in there and beat Shadow Mavis down till not even her own mother would recognize her." and he pounded his hooves together.

Jet Set was thinking of how he could hurt or even kill Shadow Mavis the day before when it happened. "But, at least you were staying strong in the cell, right?"

"I was trying so hard." Colin admitted.

"Good." said Wild Lightning with a smile. "You're big brother would have been proud of you."

Colin smiled to hear that remark. "I think you're right." he agreed with him.

"And we could have helped you when Shadow Mavis was spanking you." said Silver Spirit. "But we were given a warning saying that if we interfered, we would have ended up like Death Gator."

"Not to mention that I was in solitary confinement when that was happening." said Comet. "I'm sorry I didn't help you back there. I would have kicked that crazy bitch's ass myself if given the chance."

"It's okay, Comet." Colin replied, putting a hand on his big shoulder. "There wasn't anything you could have done anyway, and I didn't want to see you get in more trouble."

The large stallion smiled. "Thanks, Colin." and they hugged eachother.

"So, what happen to Death Gator?" Colin asked

"After he punched you and gave you the black eye, they executed him by a firing squid with machine guns." said Jet Set. And he motioned his mouth close to the boy's right ear. "Rumors say that the Kremlin guards ate his entire body."

The wicked rumor already sent a shiver down his spine, along with a gulp of fear. "Gosh, that must have been horrible."

"Are you kidding me?" said Silver Moon. "After what he just pulled on you, you kinda feel sorry for him?"

"I know he did terrible things." Colin admitted. "But still."

"That's what happens when you are in prison, boy." said Comet. "Too much time in the whole can mess with your head." and he gently knocked his head giving a point about what he remarked. It made Colin a little more scared than ever. If there was anything he would hate to be, it would be a cold blooded killer like Death Gator before he was executed. "Ah but who am I kidding, you're a good kid. You're too strong will for that. I know you would never become like Death Gator." and he gave him a gentle pat on the back playfully.

"Thanks guys. At least I have good friends like you all."

"Don't sweat it." said Wild Lightning. "I can guarantee you that we will get out of here. We just need to think of a plan."

"Lightning's right." Silver Moon agreed boldly. "Sadly, I don't know when we can actually break out of here. It could be in a week, a few months or even years from now. But in time, who knows? We might get out of here sooner than we think."

"True dat." said Comet. "We would need a miracle for it to happen right now. But yeah, maybe it might come sooner than we all expect it to happen." And as they all looked around the prison courtyard, they saw a small prison fight where two large Kremling inmates were blowing fists at each other's faces. It looked quite brutal, and many inmates crowded around to watch this little fight.

Colin, Comet, and his boys being smart, decided just to stay out of it, for Colin has been through quite enough as it is. It didn't take long for Shadow Mavis and Krusha to come outside and bring an end to the little conflict,

"Alright! Alright! Break it up!" Krusha said. Being bigger than the other two Kremlin prisoners, he used his mighty fists to bump their skulls into one another. "Kenny! Put these two n the box!"

And another large Kremling came outside and dragged the two Inmates to whatever try box is. Both of them were pleading for mercy, but the brute just ignored them as if they were aponky like flies or bees to him. He wasn't as big as Krusha was, but he still had the same amount of strength as he did. There was a loud sound of two metal doors. Wing slammed shut as Kenny went back outside.

"There. That's a few more loose ends to worry about. Hee hee!" Shadow Mavis. Just then, Dr Eggman came from the skies in his little pod, and he promptly landed on the ground accompanied by two robot guards to protect him. "Ugh, what is it now, Eggman?" Asked the evil girl in annoyance

"Miss Mavis, please forgive the interruption, but Johnny Fraser and his friends are on their way here right now! They took out many of my robot pirate ships and some of King K Rool's own ships."

She was quite surprised to hear of this news and began to worry that with Johnny and his friends coming to safe Colin, the dreams of her and George conquering the world together would be ruined for sure. "What? Are you sure?"

"I assure you, it is them." Eggman said. "I would never lie.... to you or George. I promise." Eggman said. "I honestly don't know how many more guards I can lose to that meddling human and his posse."

"Oh suck it up, Egghead." Shadow Mavis said. "You can always create more. You're a scientist after all, so it should be quite easy for you to make some more robot minions."

"Yes, but- I can get pretty tired easily just by creating robots, the designs of what they look like, all of that."

"Wait, I thought you would make your robot slaves do all the work for you?" Krusha said

"Nonetheless! It's off topic. The point is, what are we going to tell George?"

"Leave that to me." Said Shadow Mavis. "You and you're little robot army just worry about trying to stop Johnny at all costs. He does not get anywhere near Colin, understand?"

"Of course."

"Good. Dismissed!"

"See you soon, miss." Eggman said. Then he and his robots went on board his little pod ship and flew away into the semi-cloudy sky. Meanwhile, Colin heard everything that Eggmanw as saying, and had a burst of hope.

His friends were getting the same thing as he has, and smiled. "You hear that Colin?" You're brother's on his way!" Comet said.

The boy couldn't be more happier or excited to hear this news. Colin wondered if Johnny and his so-called friends of his can actually save him from this horrible hell hole. Of course, he said "that's great! But I think we shouldn't tell anyone about this. "I don't want to be interrogated about it. And I don't want Shadow Mavis or her monsters having ideas on how to make me more miserable.

"That's a good point." Said Clover. "Yep, it's best to keep it quiet."

"Colin!" Called Shadow Mavis in a sing-song voice. She and Krusha went up to the kid making him quite scared. Comet and his friends stood their ground for anything the two would throw at the boy. "Ah there you are!" She smiled innocently.

"What do you want from me now?" He asked in a mildly scared voice.

"Come with me, we're going to have some more fun. Krusha! Make sure that these bozos don't try to stop more or interfere."

"Got it, malady." Said Krusha with a head nod. He melt the friendly stallions back and Shadow pulled Colin's hand to his cell. Throwing him on the bed, she closed the cell door and had a large feether

"Guess what I am going to do next!" She sang

Colin didn't really understand at first, but he had a sudden realization and his eyes puffed up in fear. "Oh no. You don't mean....'

"Oh ho ho ho, I do mean." Shadow slyly replied with a smirk. Then she tied Collin up in a few ropes, and began tickling him with the large feather.

"No! Hahahaha! Mercy! Mercy!!" The boy cackled. "I can't take this!" And he kept on laughing and laughing from the ticklish feeling of the feather.

"You want more? Okay!" And then she resumed after a brief pause, she found herself tickling him harder than she did before, and the tickling and laughing went on and on for quite some time.

Poor Colin, well at least he knows that his brother is on the way to save him from this horrible nightmare.

Breaking and Entering (part 1)

Rights for the Song go to Sony and Sucker Punch

It was nighttime, and Johnny and his friends were finally at the island. As they all predicted, it was locked tighter than a thousand bank safes, but they did have a plan that might work, but not completely foolproof. It was not easy finding a hiding spot, for the prison had spotlights moving around at the ground, waters, and even the sky in case there was an aerial attack.

Finally, Murray hid the ship behind a large rock that was big enough to cover the large ship they were using. Everyone was all ready to go with this plan.

Bentley came up with the perfect name for this operation. He named it "Operation: Typhoon" and it will be in full swing any second. "Alright guys, you all know what to do, right?" Asked Sly. They all nodded a yes. "Mario, Luigi, have you both got your vanish caps with you?"

"Yep! Let's a go!" The Mario brothers replied boldly.

"Alright. Knuckles, Sonic, you guys ready for this?"

"You know it, Sly." Said the red echidna. Sure, he sounded confident, but Sonic was kinda feeling the opposite.

"Maybe I should stay here and... keep an eye on the ship while you guys perform the operation." And he was about to retreat to the cabin quarters, but he was immediately stopped by Knuckles and his mighty strength.

"Hey! Not so fast! Sonic, we're doing this for a good reason. We all need your help to rescue Colin from that hell hole."

"But does it have to involve me swimming across that...." he gulped "ocean?"

"Look, I know you're scared of going in the water, it we don't have a choice, Sonic. Besides, Knuckles is your friend and he can't help us alone without your help."

"Well... alright. It is just a quick swim after all."

"Exactly! Besides, I am more than ready to kick some bad guy butt, and use all my strength, like a living battleship." Murray said, pounding his fists in great confidence.

"And I cannot wait to see the look on those fools faces when they do not suspect my amazing moves that will burn them all to a crisp, like they had just fallen into a volcano." Panda King added.

"Okay, I think we're all ready." Johnny said confidently. "Hold on Colin, we'll save you." And he readied his sword for battle when he sets foot on the island. "Dimitri, you know what to do, brother."

"Oh yes, it's my time to shine again!" Said he. "Time for me to Stand tall and feel beautiful." Sly and his friends just rolled their eyes at his ego again. "Wish me luck, cracker boxes!" And he dived into the water with his spear gun in his hand.

As he swam into the dark waters, he was being extra careful not to set anything off to alert the guards patrolling the area. It wasn't completely dark, for the full moon was shining through the ocean and giving him a little insight on where he was going.

Dimitri peaked his head up and saw he was near the docks, and saw three Kremlins
Patrolling the deck. Two of them were rather weak and small, but the third was way bigger, more muscular, and had a sawed off shotgun in one hand, and a heavy duty flashlight on the other.

"Sacre bleu." He cursed in his brain. "I'll have to go extreme all over their faces one at a time." And the purple iguana stealthily went underwater again, and waited until the first guard was close enough to make his move.

Without looking, Dimitri grabbed the first guard and pulled him into the water with him while in a headlock. The next move he did was keep him under until the Kremlin drew his last breath, killing him instantly. When he was taken care of, Dimitri quietly hid the body on a rocky landslide where the spotlights or any of the other guards would find him.

Now he was onto the next guard closest to him. He quietly got on the deck, and while he was not looking, Dimitri covered his mouth and then impaled him from behind with his rapier. Hiding the body behind a large hedge, Dimitri saw the third guard coming and hurriedly hid behind a tall rock spire.

"Hmm, I must be dreaming or something. Bah, just need.... a cup of coffee." The brute muttered to himself. As he turned his back and walked back to the position he was before, Dimitri one of Bentley's sleep darts, and shot it in the guard's neck.

At first, he was trying to call for him, but he immediately fell flat on the ground, asleep and snoring loudly. Dimitri then kicked him in midair, and then silently obliterated him by slicing him rapidly with his sword many times like a chef from a fancy Chinese restaurant. "Hahaha. Enjoy the night, my cheesy macaroni man." He muttered with a chuckle. "For there will be a lot of biting tonight." Then he hid the corpse behind the rock he was hiding from.

Now Dimitri was clear to go into the back vent to get inside the prison.

At first, it was all easy, but then he used his goggles and saw a dozen mines scattered around the entrance in a random fashion. They looked like old fashioned mines, but they all had red beacons going on and off every second.

If one thing was for sure, this would not be a piece of cake. Dimitri had to use his flexibility and kept his distance from the lethal balloon-like devices. Just one touch from these things, and it would be like the Fourth of July and Dimitri would meet an unpleasant and disgusting end.

It was not completely easy but Dimitri had to shoot one of the mines farthest from the rest, and a large explosion was seen. Many spotlights saw it and looked over to see what it was. "Oh mon dieu." He thought to himself. "I might get busted big time."

However, just his luck, the spotlights immediately turned away from where the mine exploded, and conginued with their little patrolling.

Then he carefully went through the other mines, and surprisingly, he got through it without a scratch and was inside the vent. He began swimming even faster, but he had to avoid some things like claws coming in from wall after wall as he kept going farther. Finally, he saw the light and knew where it would lead to.

He smiled and very quietly perked his head up like a Nile crocodile to see if any guards were in this peculiar room. It was supposedly a small camera room for surveillance around the perimeter. The iguana quietly got on his feet, and impaled the guard's neck with one of his darts, and locked him in a locker so no one would even try to find him.

He realized that there was even a camera in here too, and he quickly shot it with his dart, shorting it out completely. "Whew. Zat was close." He muttered

"you in, Dimitri?" Asked Bentley through the little dispatcher he Carrie with him.

"Oh yes. I'm inside the doughnut like jelly filling. It was like an easy bat swing in a baseball event. Oh, I thought I was a cooked goose for sure, but Dimitri stood tall and felt funky."

"Okay we get it, you're in." Said Bentley. "Can you see Colin Fraser's cell in the camera room?"

And the purple lizard looked over the screens, and saw many hallways with patrolling guards and cells with many inmates sleeping in them. Finally, he saw Colin being held up in cell block 8199. "Found him." The. He gave the turtle the coordinates for which cell he was in.

"Got it, uploading it to the computer right now. So for now, just keep quiet and keep a very low profile Dimitri."

"What if any of those bad bunnies come in and bust me big time?"

"Ummm, hid in one of the lockers or improvise."

"Well there are a few lockers on zis room." Dimitri said. "Keep me in touch."

"Alright Mario, Luigi, you guys are up next."

"Got it, Bentley." Said the red plumber. "Come on, bro. We got a boy to save."

"Got it, Mario." Said Luigi. "Here we go!" Then they put on their vanishing caps on their head, and turned completely invisible as if they were ghosts. They dove into the water and without any guards noticing, they both tip-toed into the side entrance.

Of course, they both had to wait for a small guard patrol to open it so the brothers can slide their way past them while they were entering. They quietly went up a flight of stairs while the entering patrol was going through a large hallway.

"Where do we go now?" Asked Luigi in a whisper.

Looking around, Mario was peeping over and he saw a double-buttoned door. "This way, Luigi. We'll push the buttons on this a door at same time."

And they counted to three silently and opened the door by pressing the buttons at the right time. They walked down a hallway and saw a few koopas, goomas, kremlins, and some of Eggman's robots alike.

"Alright, we'll have to take some a them out real quiet like. You heard Bentley. One slip up, and it will be a bust."

Luigi nodded his head in agreement and followed Mario down the hall, and went through a wall to see two guards patrolling the back of the door. Both of them looked dangerous, but Mario carefully and stealthily used his hands to grab their head, and slam them into one another. The impact was so strong that it made them unconscious and out of action for a little while.

"We better hide the bodies before they find out about this." Luigi said. Then he helped his brother move the unconscious guards out of sight by placing them inside two lockers. "There, that should a do it."

"Thanks, Luigi. Now to get to take care a the rest." Then Mario silently poked their heads through the wall, and moved their eyes to and fro, and the cost was absolutely clear for them to go past it completely. Both brother's quietly tip-toed into another part of the hallway, and saw three goomba soldiers wearing army helmets, looking quite fierce. Serious or not, both Mario and Luigi faced these goons millions of times before, and they all jumped on the first two.

The third one looked behind him and saw that his comrades were already gone, as if they vanished into thin air. Feeling a little scared, he called out in a funny voice "Hello? Is anyone there?" and he peeped to and fro for any sign of his two co-workers. "Heh, must be going out for a little midnight snack." and he continued his little duty and waddled down the hallway.

Mario and Luigi were relieved and then they saw to Koopa Troopas with small blasters in their hands. The brothers made a smirk, and nodded their head to eachother, knowing how to take care of these guys. They bounced on the turtle-like creatures, and they suddenly crawled into their little green shells. Then they were more than happy to kick them into a small group of Eggman's robots like they were bowling balls.

When the koopa's got out of their shells again, both koopas were more than afraid to see a small posse of angry robots in front of them, and they both ran away so they wouldn't get zapped into a crisp like a couple of fish sticks. The robots angrily followed them posthaste, looking quite mad.

Mario and Luigi snicked to themselves. "Never gets a old." Luigi muttered. Continuing on with the sneaking and snooping, Mario and Luigi went into a small room, and it revealed to be the weapons room. Surprisingly, no guards were there to keep an eye on the place, and they were happy that it was empty

Meanwhile, the Panda King was lurking in the shadows in the darkest corners of the hallways, and used his trusted Flame-fu techniques to burn any coming guard to death. He was extra cautious, for he wasn't really slender like Sly was, and couldn't really just slide on ledges like he would, because he was too big to do so. As he was sneaking around himself, he was stopped by five guards.

All of them were Kremlins. "Freeze!" said the leader, who was a flashlight guard like Dimitri encountered in his rendezvous. "Who are you and what are you doing here?!"

"Peace, my friends." said the Panda King. "I do not wish to fight. I just want this to flow smoothly like a peaceful snow leopard in the Himalayas."

"Then come quietly and you won't have to die!" said one of the four weaker guards

"Shut up, Clem!" sad the leader. "I got this!" then he bonked him on the head like a coconut. "But yeah, just come quietly, and this won't have to end badly."

"Of course." then as when the Panda King was about to let himself be arrested, a sly smile appeared and as soon as the handcuffs were about to be put on his big, muscular wrists, the kung fu master suddenly made a backwards flip and jabbed one guard in the head with his elbow. the guard immediately fell to the floor unconscious, had stars swirling around his head.

"Stop him!" said the leader.

The rest of the small patrol rushed in to take him to a cell by force, but the Panda King was fast, despite being bigger than Murray. He immediately dodged one of the guards and swept his legs with one of his own, and then punched him bad enough to make him out cold like the other.

Next, the third guard slashed his sword many times at him, but the large panda used his muscles to block one strike, and immediately shattered the blade into little, tiny pieces of scrap metal. Nonetheless, the guard tried to fight him head-on with his fists and kicks, but the Panda King was too much for him, and chopped him with a hand of burning fire, burning him instantly to a crisp.

"Is that all you can do?" said he in a crane pose. "No one like you can ever best the glorious Panda King."

"We'll see about that!" said the fourth guard. He charged at the warrior with full zeal and swung and thrusted his spear at him with all his might, but Panda King dodged every strike from him, and grabbed hold of the spear like a mere toothpick, and broke it like one. He then grabbed the guard by his head, and then threw a mighty punch at him with his large fist in the stomach, knocking him straight to a wall, and then fell down to the floor, moaning in pain.

"Right. Just you and me, teddy bear!" said the Flashlight guard. he immediately threw his flashlight aside, and his shotgun with it, and said "Weapons are for the weak." then they charged into eachother, and the Panda King did a swing kick across his face, knocking him down to the floor. He was about to finish him off by piercing him with his fingers together while flames sparkled on them, but the guard was fast enough to dodge it, and then kick the Panda King. The move was none other than a mere flinch, and the Panda King immediately moved his head around like it didn't even hurt him, and looked more mad than usual.

The flashlight guard tried to punch and kick him with all his might, but the large panda used his hands to prevent him from touching a slight inch of his skin.

He grabbed hold of one kick his beefy hand, and began squeezing and breaking it, making the guard yell in pain. Panda King was more than happy to swing the guard across the room, and threw him on the floor. "Had enough you vermin?"

"No! I never quit!"

"In that case, you will die even faster." Then he kicked him in the stomach, and and said "Fiery wheel!" then he made the guard burn into a crisp until nothing was left of him. Thus, the Panda King was victorious once again, and the sound of a gong was heard.

Just then, another guard came rushing in, hearing what the commotion was all about, and tried to charge at the Panda King, but before he can even run, something climbed on his back, along with his shoulders. At first, he didn't know what was happening. Was it a giant spider or something? was what he was thinking. "Get off me!" he shouted. "Get off!"

It was Guru, for he used his magic hand to take control of the guard's weak mind, and made him run radically out of control. Panda King made a bold smile, and then readied his fist. At the last second, Guru left off the guard with his staff in hand, and the Panda King made his move by throwing a powerful punch at his face, making him lose several teeth, killing him instantly

Both Panda King and Guru smiled at this. The purple koala made a funny and snarky remark about the unfortunate goon, ending with a chuckle.

The Panda King smiled an replied "Well said, my old friend. The poor fool didn't stand a chance against your strong mind. Now we must go and rendezvous with Mario and Luigi, wherever they are."

Guru made another aboriginal remark, and Panda King translated it. He said "Hopefully, the young brothers haven't gotten lost along the path. This could be more challenging than the Mask of Dark Earth."

"Indeed." the large panda agreed. Then, with Guru riding on the king's back, sneaked down the hallway, and fortunately, there were no guards around to bust them. They suddenly heard a small conversation in the room, and thought it was a couple of more guards, and Panda King swung the door open, ready for another fight. Guru leaped off his back in a combat pose.

It turned out to be Mario and Luigi. "Oh, there ya are." said Mario. "What took ya both?"

"Our sincere apologies, Mario." said Panda King. "We thought you were one of them cutthroats we had encountered."

"No problemo." Mario remarked. "We made it in successfully, thanks to our vanish caps." Then he and Luigi pulled out the magic hats to get inside their own way.

"Now we wait for the others to report." said Panda King.

Breaking and Entering (Part 2)

The Panda King was activating his walkie-talkie, and paced to and fro around the small room that he, Mario, Luigi, and Guru were all in at once. "Do you copy, Dimitri?" he asked. "Me and the Guru have infiltrated the prison, too. What's your status?" It took a little while.

Finally, there came a very enthusiatic reply from the purple, French iguana. "Bonjour Panda King, my big fat cookies n' cream friend. Everything here is looking quite shiny and funky where I am."

Panda King made a small groan in response. "That's.... wonderful to hear." he said in an uncomfortable voice. "But can you please drop the vernacular on me?"

"Vernacular you say?" Dimitri said on the other line. "Whatever you say, bro."

"We did not a think you would get in yourself?" said the red and blue plumber.

"You doubt moi, Mario? I am a marine Iguana after all. Nothing can stop Dimitri, a macho, macho man like myself."

"Okay, okay. We get the point. You made in a successfully." Luigi responded in a mildly irritated voice. "Do ya have any information about here Colin is?"

Then the purple iguana began looking over at some of the monitoring cameras within the room he was hiding in from the rest of the guards. He studied high and low for any signs of a human boy in his cells, and had to scroll from camera to camera. "Zis might take a little while for this heart to beat like a drum set." Dimitri said, still going through as much cameras as possible.

"I hope it will be soon, Dimitri." said Bentley. "We cannot waste any time given to us if we're going to save Colin."

"I am going as fast as i can like a slithering snake going down a small space under the dance floor, Bentley." Dimitri said. While being as swift as possible, Dimitri had to go from many prison cell cameras, again and again. This was a rather large prison after all. Finally, he found the boy lying awake on his bed, feeling quite sad and depressed. “I got the goods!” He said boldly. “Colin is in vermin hole twenty-one eighty-seven.”

On the other line, Johnny had bigger feelings of hope within him. “Can we get in and get him out of there?” He asked the other cooper gang members. “He must be feeling all alone right now.”

“We will, Johnny.” Said Murray. “But we gotta get in that place, too.”

“Murray’s right.” Said Sly. “This is all part of Bentley’s plan.” Then he readied his cane so he can fulfil his part of the operation. “I’ll sneak inside the prison and look for the patrolling guards that have all the keys that keep Colin locked up.”

“And that’s when we all come in with you.”

“Got That right, Murray.” Sly Said. “Okay, I’ll give the signal as soon as I got the keys. Don’t worry, it won’t take very long.” Then the raccoon put his cane within his mouth, and climbs a few ship ropes. When he was at ten very top of the ship, he immediately jumped off, and used his paraglider to quietly land on the shores.

Moving his eyes to and fro, Sly sneaked over to a side of the prison wall, and peaked over the edge, and saw a few guards patrolling around the area. He thought of what he should do about these goons not far from him. He pulled out one of his handy tools, the music box, and threw it over to where the guards were patrolling the perimeter, and long-tossed it right in the center between the guards.

At first, the bad guys didn’t know what to think, and thought it was a bomb, but they all got a closer look at it. By the looks of Sly from this angle, there was a total number of six or seven guards in total.

It didn’t take long for the music box to play the lullaby song in a loud volume. It also didn’t take a long time for all the guards to succumb to the beauty of this device, and all fell flat on their backs, fast asleep.

The raccoon smiled and knew it was the perfect opportunity for him to sneak across the road and kill off every one of the guards with his silent obliteration move. All of the guards around this area were taken care of, and weren’t so much of a problem anymore. He immediately pointed a small flashlight at the boat behind him. This was the chosen signal that Bentley wanted him to do when he took care of the goons patrolling the back door.

“Alright! The Murray is ready to go rowing that boat to the prison.” Murray noted with confidence, pounding his fists together in an very tough manner. “Alright..... now let me just cut the rope, and.... Here we go.” And the jolly boat made a somewhat loud splash when it hit directly it fell in the ocean waters..

“Shh, quiet Murray.” Bentley whispered. “We don’t want this to be a bust.”

“Sorry, Bentley.” Said Murray. “Alright guys, get on board the boat. We got a kid to save.” Then the others were more than happy to hop on the large boat, and Knuckles was helping Murray with the rowing. “Nothing like Knuckles and me being the muscles of this team.”

“Ah, can’t blame you, big fella.” Said The red echidna. “So everyone remember your parts on what to do?”

“Knux, I always know what i’m doing.” Sonic gloated with a shrug.

“Do you?” Asked Johnny in a skeptical voice with a raised eyebrow. “You heard abentley, no foul-ups.” And he began polishing the nimcha sword that Severin gave him. The blade had a few tough bloodstains on it, and had to use a rag and splash it with the ocean water to clean the smudges on parts of the blade. “Man oh man. I can imagine how happy Colin will be to see me, his big brother who will get him out of that living hell.”

“We feel just the same as you Johnny.” Said Rose. “ it Sly needs to get the keys to bust him out, remember?”

“I know, Rosie.” Said her boyfriend. “We’ll save him. I know we will.”

“Agreed. Oh, how I can hardly wait to see Colin’s sweet, little boy face again.” And Rose began having thoughts of hugging her boyfriend’s brother again in a long time. It was already three years since she saw that sweet little face of his. Now she can hardly wait to see him again.

“Focus guys, focus.” Sly reminded. “As soon as we get on that beach, we have to focus on the mission.” And he readied his cane for some pickpocketing. As soon as the boat stopped, they all had to hide it somewhere that the guards wouldn’t be able to see it, and quietly went though the entrance.

All of them split up and went to fulfil their parts of this little operation. Johnny and Rose were together of course, and cautiously looked at their surroundings. Murray and Bentley were also doing the same on the right hallway, and the pink hippo was more than ready to fight off any bad guys who would think about hurting him or his best friend.

“Stay sharp, Murray. We’ll need you’re strength.”

“Don’t worry, Bentley.” Murray quietly replied to him. “The Murray’s strength has no limits to him.” And he pounded his fists in a more quiet sound than he would make. Meanwhile, Sonic And Knuckles were also looking more than ready to fight any guards that would catch them. After all, they both dealt with Eggman’s robots before. This will not be any different.

“See anything?” Sonic asked his friend

“Not yet.”

“Good thing Panda King, Mario, Luigi, Guru, And Dimitri disabled the security cameras watching the hallways. We wouldn’t be able to survive if they didn’t.”

“Damn right.” Knuckles agreed. All of a sudden, they both heard a few murmuring voices down to the right, both standing against the wall, close to the edge, they decided to listen in on the conversations.

“Heh. I know.” Said a Kremlin Guard. “That stupid boy will be dead in a matter of days before he can show him to Princess Celestial and Luna so they will give him their entire kingdom.”

“But what the Elements Of Harmony?” Asked a Goomba Guard in a high, gruff voice. “If they find us here, we’ll be done for, eh?”

“No,” said a robot guard. “Not even they would stand a chance on this island. Lord Eggman said so himself.”

“True.” Said a hammer bro. “Think about how much we can get if Equestria will be all ours. The money, the wealth, everything we can ever dream of”

“A guy can dream.” Said the Kremlin Guard who spoke out first. “But you could be right. All the riches we can get if we were to be alongside the new rulers of Equestria.” And he made a chuckle and began smoking a cigar. “Well, I might as well get back to my patrol before Krusha finds me shirking my duty, then kick my ass. If only things’s certain, never make Krusha angry.”

“Noted.” Said the robot.

“How are we going to get past them, Sonic?” Knuckles whispered to him.

Looking around for any ideas, the blue hedgehog saw an empty vodka bottle made of pure glass, and a smile appeared on his face. “Hey Knuckles,” Then he gave him the bottle. “You’re a long thrower, see if you can make a little noise to distract them.”

The red echidna made a rather bold smile, and readied his arm, then made a really far throw that went last the small group of guards who were talking before. The sound of glass shattering was heard and the guards immediately went over to see what was up.

It was the perfect chance for Sonic and Knuckles to sneak up on them, and knock every one of them out. While their backs were turned, Knuckels knocked out the hammer bro, killing him instantly, and Sonic was more than happy to bounce on the goomba soldier.

A small fight ensued, but the two friends easily outclassed these thugs thanks to Knuckles’ impressive strength, and Sonic’s quick wits and lightning speed. While cleaning up the mess, Knuckles noticed something, “Sonic, look! That’s the alarms room.”

“Good eye, knucklehead.” Sonic praised him. “Alright, now we just have to disable the alarms outside of the prison while Murray can take care of the alarm horns that are the backup calls.”

And they tip-toed into the room, and saw a couple of guards sleeping on the job, obviously not very good employees, and it was a good thing Sonic chopped the back of one guard’s head, and Knuckles promptly smashed the head of another by slamming him into some glass.

“Let me take care of the bodies, and i’ll See what we can do.”

After they hid the bodies away, both of them saw a few switches that had the options of fire alarm, intruder alert, code red, and defcon red. Sonic And Knuckels pulled all of the plugs and they were all disabled. Well, almost all of them.

Murray was trying to take care of the ones that were reserved power, including the horns. Luckily, there were a few things that looked quite heavy for him to carry and then throw them at the horns. He picked up one chair, and broke one, instantly breaking and short-circuiting it.

"One less annoying alarm to deal with for the Murray." he gloated.

"There's still plenty more of them to go, pal."

"That's perfectly alright with me, Bentley. Smashing and breaking stuff is one of my favorite things to do. That, and eating, working out, and driving the team van."

Then He went along down many more hallways, and was more than happy to throw heavy objects like chairs, tables, even lone lockers. It was all of a sudden they both heard footsteps coming their way. "Who goes there?" said a high-pitched voice with a thick, Brooklyn accent. It revealed to be a small army of goombas, koopas, and hammer bros, obviously hearing the commotion that Murray was making.

"Hey you! Stop!" said the leader, who was a koopa troopa that seemed a little larger than the other ones he was grouped with in the posse.

"Uh oh. We got company." said Bentley. "You know what to do, big guy."

"That I do, smart guy." Murray promptly pointed his fists, with a mischievous smile on his face. "Evil doers, feel my awesome wrath!" Then he and Bentley charged at them with full zeal, obviously outnumbered probably ten of the bad guys, and only two on the good side. Still, the opposing side was no match for the brains, and the muscle of the cooper gang.

Bentley would use his weelchair as an offensive attack, and even used rage gas on some of his enemies, causing them to turn on each other. To him and Murray, it was really satisfying for them, an after one of the enemies killed the other, they turned back to the other two they were supposed to attack before.

Murray would once again use his mighty fists against these goons. Bentley would even take the pleasure of bouncing on the remaining goombas with his wheelchair, flattening them like pancakes in the morning. When all of the bad guys were taking care of, they hid the bodies, like the other team members did when they infiltrated this area.

"Okay. Let me at the computer room over there." said Bentley. They quietly entered the main security room, and Bentley began his hacking abilities on the master computer. "This might take a while. Murray, do you think you can cover for me in case any guards come by?"

"No problem, little buddy." Murray said boldly. He promptly kept watch at the entrance, while Bentley was hacking into the device. Turned out the computer hacking took a little longer than expected. Bentley never tried to hack into something so complex that had security tighter than a thousand bank safes.

Not so many guards were coming to see what was going on, only a small squadron of Eggman's robots, then some Kremlins, and then some enemies from Mario's world. It was nothing Murray could not handle. It took a long thirty minutes, but it turns out Bentley was able to successfully hack into the system and disable all things security, which included lasers, spotlights, and the alarm sounds.

"Alright. That should take care of the security in this horrible place." Bentley said. "Come on Murray, let's try and regroup with the others."

"No problem, Bentley."

While on the communicator, Bentley said to his raccooon friend "Sly, how is it going with you?"

"Nothing to it, Bentley." Sly whispered. Then he was crawling through an air vent and saws a couple of flashlight guards down below, patrolling all four of the corridors. "Hmm. I think I might have found where the key might be."

"If memory serves, these guards will have at least one key that fits the lock perfectly to Colin's cell. Be careful and sneak up behind them when their backs are turned against you."

"Roger. Pickpocket is something I know I can handle." then Sly tried to be extra sneaky and pickpocket one guard with his cane. After that was taken care of, he would kill the guard with his silent obliteration move. He moved on to the next guard doing the same process after he was done with him, then so on and so forth. When he gotten all five keys, Sly said on his communicator "Okay Bentley, I got the keys. I'm going to go regroup with Johnny and Rose."

"Copied, Sly." Bentley replied.

Johnny and Rose had to fight off a few guards and the human male was more than happy to kill them all with his sword. "There. That should take care of them. And Rose, that was some good kung-fu moves back there."

"Oh come here, you." then they both kissed and made out.

"Pardon the love scene, but I got all the keys to bust Colin out."

"Thank you so much, Sly." Johnny said with a great amount of gratitude. "I owe you and the others big time for this one."

"Don't mention it, Johnny. What are friends for." and the raccoon gave a warm smile.

"Come on. Let's get my brother back."

The Rescue

Johnny, Sly and Rose continued walking down corridor through corridor, and dealt with as much guards as possible. It was not easy, for they were both greatly outnumbered from time to time, and their friends weren't their at the moment. Of course, Sly was so used to it since he and his friends pulled out heists and robberies very similar to this, but the same was not said for the two humans with him. Once in a while, he would have to go in front of them to make sure there are no traps like hidden lasers, or if any are in reserve power, or trigger plates on floors like Indiana Jones.

The raccoon made a gasp and whispered "Hold it guys!"

"What is it?" Rose asked. "More guards?"

"No." Sly replied. He reached out his cane and then pressed down on one floor tile that looked lighter than the other ones. A small click was heard and both walls in the hallways opened hatches scattered around, and lots of arrows appeared out of nowhere, and the sounds of arrows hitting the walls were heard.

"Whoa, what was that?" Johnny asked with his eyes wide in disbelief.

"Booby traps." Sly remarked. "That George kid is smarter than i thought, even for a kid who is six years old."

"I know. A boy like him having a gigantic army and mercenaries by his side?" Johnny agreed. "He sounds more dangerous than I imagined."

"You said it. Come on, if there is one trap here, there are sure to be more of them up ahead."

"The others did disable the security around here, did they?" Rose asked worriedly.

"Of course they did. Bentley and the Panda King said so themselves." Sly noted. "Come on, let's just keep moving, but trend lightly."

"Got it." said Johnny. All three of them kept on pushing forward, and only stumbled on a few more traps, but they were finally at the room with the cells. How Johnny can hardly wait to see his brother and his sweet, smiling face again.

“So what did Bentley say Colin is being held up?” Asked the human woman.

“At cell block twenty one eighty seven.” Sly clarified.

And all of them went to the cell block that said the exact same number and found poor Colin sleeping in his bed. Johnny never felt so happy to see his own little brother. He knows that Colin is not unscathed, but he will get him to recovery soon as soon as he frees him from this hellhole.

“Here, let me open this door with these keys.” Sly volunteered. The raccoon used all the keys on the confounded lock, and they all worked. When he tried to open the door, it was still sealed shut like a bank safe. “Damnit, hold on.” The next thing he tried to do was pulling out a small lockpick and try to trick the lock keeping them away from the poor human boy. It took a little while, a couple of minutes to be exact, but there was a loud click sound, and the cell door opened.

“I’ll wake him up.” Said Johnny. “You two stand guard here while I bring him out here.” Both Sly And Rose guarded the open cell door

“Bentley, we have rescued Colin, and Johnny’s bringing him out of the cell.”

“Roger, Sly.” The green turtle replied on the other line. “You guys hear that?”

“Totally!” Murray sajd triumphantly. “Nothing can go against the Cooper Gang. We’re definitely the greatest thieves in the world.”

“Yeah, it was easier than I thought.” Sonic said. “So my bad guys to beat up, I can’t believe that George would have such lousy security to back him up, pfft.”

“Don’t get to cocky, Sonic.” Knuckles said. “We May have gotten out, but when we get Colin out of here, it will be a real challenge to escape from George. He and his followers will come looking for him sooner or later and he will get snatched by them all over again.”

“You speak wisely, Knuckles.” Said Panda King. “All hell will break lose once we free the poor child from his cell. We would probably be in for the fight of our lives anyway.”

Guru made another aboriginal remark in agreement and it sounded a little grave and doubtful.

“We can fight them.” Said Mario. “Take a look at how much baddies we haven taken care of.”

“We can always try plan B.” Luigi added.

“What’s plan B, bro?”

“Ummm... fight every last one of them to the death?”

“Yeah, that’s thinking with your brain.” Dimitri muttered sarcastically through the other line. “We might as well send many of those bad babies to kingdom come with our powerful bling-bling and unstoppable plans.”

Meanwhile, Johnny bent down next to the bed Colin was resting in and gently rubbed his side. “Colin? Colin, wake up.” Said he. “It’s me, your big brother.”

Poor Colin suddenly awoke with a small fright and screamed a little.

“Shh, Shh, Shh, relax.” Johnny whispered. “Calm down.”

“Johnny!”

“Shh, keep it down buddy. I’m busting you out of here.”

Tears of joy appeared on Colin’s eyes and they both hugged one another very tightly. “It’sso Good to see you again.”

“Same with you, dude. Oh man, what happened to your cool hair?” He noticed his shaved head.

The boy didn’t really say anything but bowed his head in shame. “They shaved it all off of me, and Shadow Mavis was hurting me nonstop.”

“What?!” Johnny quietly screamed. A small patch of anger was growing inside of him like he was turning into a werewolf or the Incredible Hulk. Oh how he wanted to butcher that George into a million tiny pieces of flesh and organs. He didn’t let that get to him too much, for he still had a job to do

"Don't worry, I was being strong for you." The boy added

Johnny felt so proud of him hearing that out of him. "That's my little brother." He said, hugging him tighter. "Come on Colin, let's take you home." He gebtly picked him up and carried him in his arms.

When the boy saw Rose, a big smile appeared on his face. "Rose it's you." He whispered.

"Hello Colin." Rose replied. She gave him a gentle kiss on his forehead for affection. "It's good to see you again. Are you okay?"

"Well... mostly." Colin replied.

"I know you guys are happy to see each other, but we have to get out of here and regroup with the others."

"Wait!" Colin said. "I want to get some friends out of here too."

"Friends in jail?" Johnny said. "That's stupid."

"No it's true, Johnny."

"He's right." Said a prisoner. It was Comet Onyxtail, looking on at what was going on. "So you must be Johnmy Fraser."

"Uh-huh. Who wants to know?"

"Me and my boys are big fans of your music and we have been helping him survive here and give him the protection he needs."

At first, the three were unsure about this, but Johnmy looked at his younger sibling and asked him if Comet was telling the truth.

"He's right." Colin remarked. "Comet and his friends are my friends."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

He took a little breath and was a little hesitant, but Johnny said "well, we can always have some extra backup." Then he went to get Comet and all his closest friends out of jail.

"I knew this day would come." Said Clover Venture.

"Yeah, freedom at last." Wild Lightning agreed.

"We can do introductions later." Said Sly. "For now we have to regroup woth the others and get out of here."

"Right." They all said in agreement. They all quietly rushed and sneaked pass multiple corridors, and everyone regrouped outside of the prison.

Just as when they had won and successfully pulled this heist off, a really bright, blinding spotlight hovered over them.

"Well well well." Said a voice. It was George riding on a small ship with Eggman. "The heroes decided to come and rescue Colin."

Shadow Mavis was right next to him with her hand on his shoulder. "Ooh, and it looks like that troublesome Comet Onyxtail and his boys are free, too." She said

"We can take them." Said Johnny, pulling out his nimcha.

"Oh I wouldn't be so sure about that, Johnathan." George sang. "You and your meddling friends are very outnumbered."

"Pfft, bring it on!" Knuckle exclaimed, pounding his fists together, looking more than ready for a fight. "It doesn't matter how many minions you bring out, there's no way i'll back down."

"And we have beaten you time and time again, Eggman. This won't be any different!"

The mad scientist made a cackle. "That's where your wrong, Sonic!" He said. "Now that I have George and other friends by my side, we are unstoppable! Mwahahahahaha!"

“Yeah right. I kicked all you’re robots mechanical butts and look where me and my friends are now.” Sonic gloated.

“You make a good point, Sonic.” George mildly praised the blue hedgehog. “Matter of fact. I would have to give praise for all of you for your efforts, but I am afraid I will have to deal away with all of you.” And with a big change of voice, he barked “Krusha, and my loyal followers, kill them all! Oh, except Colin. I still need him for World domination.”

“Got it, boss.” Said Krusha, cracking both his knuckles. “Get them boys! Make them suffer fates worse than death!”

Just like that, a whole army of kremlins charged at the heroes with full Zeal, and some of eggman’s machine henchmen charged with them. Bowser was also leading an army of goombas, koopa troopas, and hammer Bros with him as he let out a blood curdling battlecry.

“Come on bro, let’s get this tyrant a beating.” Mario said

“Right behind ya, Mario.” Luigi Said. “Although I am feeling a little nervous about this.” And in a change of demeanor, he said more comfidently “But in Bowser’s case, I will make exception.”

“Rose, you go and take Colin somewhere safe away from this. The rest of you on me!” Johnny instructed. “To the death!” And he raised his sword into the sky.

“Come on, sweetie. Let’s go.” Rose Said, And she tried to keep Colin as safe as possible so he wouldn’t get hurt.

The others charge at the large army in front of them, as a matter of fact, they didn’t care if they were obviously outnumbered. If they will go down, then they will all die fighting. The sounds of clashing steal, punches, kicks, and poundings were heard here and there.

George and Eggman just watched from above and Shadow Mavis decided to have some what she called “fun” down there. “I’ll be back, Cutie.” And she kissed her boyfriend before flying down there on the battlefield.

Rose was trying to comfort and console Colin in any way possible so he wouldn’t be so stressed or scared. “Will they be okay?”

“I’m sure they will, Colin.” Rose replied in a modest tone of voice.

Johnny was face to face with Krusha, and his large cleaver as a weapon. Both he and the Kremlin were face to face in an interesting match between one another. One kick or punch would be from Johnny, and the other would be from his opponent. Of course, Krusha was slightly getting the upper hand since he is way larger than the young human. Despite the few bruises and scratch marks he was receiving, Johnny kept on fighting and fighting with all his might.

Thus, the battle between the heroes and George has just begun.

While the battle in Ponyville has been going rough, Shadow Mavis watched the chaos unfold along with some of the other guards. Explosions were heard while cries and deaths occurred. Not to mention the number of weapons used.

"Wow. That is so much trouble. I like it." Shadow Mavis said. "I expected lots of explosions, but this takes the cake.

"This is only the beginning sweetheart," George said, as the two kissed. "Did I ever tell you how hot you look in that police uniform?"

"I know to make you happy, Georgie." Shadow Mavis teased.

Meanwhile...

Rose has been standing inside the prison with Collin. They recently snuck out while Johnny and the others have been trying to battle out George's mercenaries.

"Poor baby. You didn't deserve to be in jail." Rose comforted Collin.

"I know. They treated me like a criminal." Collin replied.

Suddenly, a searchlight spotted them.

"They there are!" George shouted. "Get them!"

Rose then offered to carry Collin as they ran to the exit, only to be blocked by the guards.

"Stand back, sweetie." Rose put Collin aside. "Time for some girl power!"

Rose then punched some guards, kicked them, and wrestled them. Collin stared in awe as Rose defended herself.

"Let's go, Collin," Rose said as they neared the exit.

"Not so fast!" a voice shouted, and they turned to see Shadow Mavis floating down towards them.

"I take the fact that you stole Collin?" Rose growled while protecting Collin.

"As a matter of fact, we did. He is serving jail time here, and he has not finished his sentence. What makes this worse is that you're harboring a prisoner! I must take you both in!" Shadow Mavis said as she carried her police baton. Collin whimpered and hid behind Rose.

Before Rose can do anything about it, Collin was suddenly grabbed by the chimera.

"Rose! Help me!" Collin cried as the chimera ran off.

"Collin!" Rose shouted as she gave chase, but then she got hit on the head by Shadow Mavis's police baton.

"Where do you think you're going?"

Rose turned around and sighed. "I guess you wanna do it the hard way, officer?" She then got into a fighting pose.

"Yup." the police girl replied as she got ready to fight. "Let's roll."

Rose then charged at Shadow Mavis. The police girl flew above her, but Rose managed to grab onto one of her boots.

"No fair!" Shadow Mavis complained as she flew up. Rose held on tight as they went higher. She then spotted that she was gonna crash onto a wall. Rose then let go at the last second, avoiding the impact.

"I take it you are skilled?" Shadow Mavis asked.

"Yes. I learned it all from my boyfriend." Rose responded.

"Is that so? Well, get ready for the stuff MY boyfriend taught me!" the police girl then dug onto the ground, making Rose confused. She looked around until Shadow Mavis rose by punching her in the jaw. Rose landed on the ground.

"You think you got the best of me?" Rose then smirked. She then grabbed some rocks and threw them at the flying Shadow Mavis. Most missed, but enough were hit to distract her sight. She then plummeted into the prison, with her police cap falling off.

Rose then came up to her. "Who's the best girl now?"

Suddenly, Shadow Mavis pulled out her taser and shocked Rose with it. Rose screamed with pain, and she was sent flying nearby one of the walls. She wasn't hurt much, but the taser was painful. She tried to get up, but Shadow Mavis grabbed her and made Rose have her against the wall after putting her police cap back on.

"Resisting arrest is also another reason to arrest you, girl." Shadow Mavis sneered, as she spread Rose's arms and legs apart.

Rose growled. "Get your hands off me!" Rose tried to break free, but Shadow Mavis had a strong grip, and Rose was unable to escape.

"You won't get away with this! When Johnny finds you, he will beat your ass!" Rose said before Shadow Mavis started frisking her down. "Oof!"

"Yeah, yeah, tell it to the judge." Shadow Mavis replied as she stuck her latex-gloved hands on Rose. She checked her leggings for weapons, didn't find anything, but not before using her boots to spread Rose's legs as she saw Rose trying to walk off. She then checked her arms for any defenses and then found something on her pants. Shadow Mavis dug for it and found a picture of Johhny and Rose together.

"Give that back!" Rose demanded as she struggled to break free.

"You two are not as popular as me and George. Time to take you in." She then grabbed Rose's arms and put them behind Rose's back, while shoving her face against the wall.

"Let go of me!" Rose tried to escape, as Shadow Mavis held on. She then pulled out the handcuffs from her belt and attached them to Rose.

"Ouch! That hurts!" Rose complained as the click went. Rose tried to break the cuffs, but it was no use.

"You're coming with me." Shadow Mavis said, as she grabbed Rose by the cuffs and made her walk inside the prison. Rose resisted several times but wasn't able to break out.

Later, in the mugshot room...

Shadow Mavis managed to walk Rose down to the mugshot room in the prison. It took multiple trips there because there were close calls where Rose escaped her grasp and tried to pry the cuffs off, but Shadow Mavis was able to handle it and bring Rose in.

"You think I will be obeying your commands? You're out of your mind!" Rose shouted.

"Really?" Shadow Mavis asked as she led them to her desk. She pulled out the mugshots of Collin she took earlier. Rose gasped in horror as she saw them.

"Collin was one of the cutest criminals we had here, if not, the cutest! I didn't really hurt him too much compared to what my boyfriend would have done to those ponies over there. And if I know you, you should obey because if you don't comply, we will be forced to hurt Collin further."

Rose then grunted and said "Fine."

"Good jail girl!" Shadow Mavis clapped, as she put a mugshot necklace on Rose's neck, making sure the handcuffs are still locked on her. The mugshot card was held by a chain necklace, which it read "Ponyville Police Department. Prisoner #1845 Name: Rose."

Rose growled as she went inside the mugshot room. She was 11'5.

"Smile!" Shadow Mavis got her camera ready.

Rose growled as Shadow Mavis took the photo. The police girl commanded Rose to turn around, which she did as well.

Later, in one of the jail cells...

Shadow Mavis was hauling Rose in one of the jail cells of the prison. Rose is wearing an orange jumpsuit for someone her age to wear, and she is still cuffed behind the back until Shadow Mavis unlocked the cell door, kicked Rose in with one of her boots, and locked the cell door.

"You know, you'd make a great jail girl." Shadow Mavis said. "Just like I did."

"You're only half right on that statement." Rose gritted her teeth.

Shadow Mavis then left to retrieve Collin while Rose looked around her surroundings.

"Damn it. I think I need to break out of here. I wouldn't be here back on Earth." Rose said to herself."

Rose on the Run

"Wow. That is so much trouble. I like it." Shadow Mavis said. "I expected lots of explosions, but this takes the cake.

"This is only the beginning sweetheart," George said, as the two kissed. "Did I ever tell you how hot you look in that police uniform?"

"I know to make you happy, Georgie." Shadow Mavis teased.

Meanwhile...
