Sonic and Friends: Into a magical world

Chapter 4: Chaotic lesson

We go back to the apple home as we see Knuckles and Silver both sitting on the couches after explaining everything to Applejack, who put a confusing expression on her face, "What the hay did you just say?"

"I'll just simplify it real quick," Silver restated to her, "We came from another dimension by accident after a machine our friend made went crazy and got sucked up the chaos emeralds and us into this world,"

Aj slowly starting to understand them, but not quite yet, "Okay, so what are these Chaos thingies,"

"The chaos emeralds," Knuckles corrected her, "They're seven gems that contain powers far from your understandings,"

"Well, I ain't the one that's into that stuff, but my friend Twilight could help you out," AJ replied

"Really, where could we find your friend?" Silver asked her.

"Well, I was actually going there myself so I guess you outta come with," Applejack answered.

"Alright, let's go Silver!" The red echidna stood up from the couch and proceed to join the orange pony.

"Okay Knux," Silver followed the demand and stood up after him.

"Alrighty, boys! follow me!" Aj began to walk out the front door, leaving the two to follow her out.

Knuckles and Silver saw the open fresh air of a typical farm, the acres of apples, a barn with the typical livestock surrounding it. They were following Aj alongside a path that led to the village she was going to. The two were amazed at a civilization of ponies, pegasi, and unicorns, looking at the buildings and various booths that the ponies put up to sell their products.

"This town looks amazing!" complimented Silver, turning his head to Knuckles on his right, "Isn't it Knuckles?".

"Yeah," he answered with no expression, staring at some ponies in the distance, "I feel, something strange,"

"Like what?" Asked the silver-haired hedgehog.

"I can feel a small spike of chaos energy in this area and It's fading really quickly," Knuckles turned his head back and forth, "A chaos emerald must be here!".

"That chaos what not you were talkin about," Aj spoke out loud, "You can sense it and what not?"

"Yeah," Knuckles nodded.

"Well, my friend Twilight will definitely find your precious little emeralds for you,"

"It's not that simply Applejack," Knuckles said, walking up to Aj and walking her pace, "Even if you do find it, it may be unstable at the time due to chaos control,"

"The what?" Aj cringed up.

Meanwhile, back inside the castle, we see Sonic and Tails walking in behind Twilight to the doors to the library. Tails' was jittering with excitement as he took plenty of notes with his notepad while Twilight talked about more about the elements of harmony, Sonic was just bored in his mind about her talking about friendship.

"Hey Princess, can we speed up this whole tour thingy?" Sonic yawned to his maximum, stretching his arms up,

"You don't mean you want to run inside the entire castle don't you," she giggled at her question, "It will probably take you a few minutes-"

In seconds, Sonic zipped through every room in the castle with a small blue trail following him and making some wind at Twilight and Tails' faces and came back in less than 5 seconds, "Well this is a pretty good castle you got their princess,"

Twilight was still quite amazed and surprised about Sonic running through her castle under seconds before coming back, "Whoa! you're pretty fast!"

"What did I say? fastest thing alive," He pointed straight towards him,"Right buddy?"

"You sure are Sonic," The Fox said, stopping his note session.

"Wow! I need to calculate your top speed! your endurance and your stamina stat!" Twilight ordered, poofing up a stopwatch, speedometer and teleporting right next to him.

"Good luck with that!" Tails smirked at the surprised princess, "There is no possible way to calculate Sonic's top speed!"

"Really?"

"It's true, I tried to give it a shot." explained the fox, "But, I did the number crunching and all and what I can figure out is that his average running speed is 2500 mph, that's surpassing the sound barrier, but with certain abilities, he can run faster than 3800mph, which is about Mach 4-5. He can also run at light speeds, but he rarely ever does."

"Wow, a hedgehog running faster than the speed the sound? this is a scientific breakthrough!" Twilight was amazed at the facts she got from Tails.

"Well I do run fast, but I only run that fast in situations where it's necessary, otherwise, I tend to run at a calm and casually pace," Sonic continued Tails' explanation, "On the plus side, I can further increase my speed with the power of the Chaos Emeralds!"

"The Chaos Emeralds?" Twilight asked for more info.

"There are seven mythical gems containing chaos energy," Sonic spilled the beans to Twilight, "Just one emerald contains unlimited power, and that energy can be harness depending on the person's thoughts. By turning those thoughts into power, you can unleash chaos powers. "

"These chaos emeralds must be very valuable. Any more I should know?" Twilight was eager to learn more.

"I'll take it from here Sonic," Tails walked up to Twilight, "Not only that the chaos emeralds can turn thoughts into power, that said power can be used to manipulate the flow of time. By using a power called Chaos Control, you can slow down time, freeze it entirely, or even travel through different time periods of the users choice, but it requires at least 2 emeralds,"

"What does this have to do with Sonic's speed?"

"Well I tell you, when Sonic obtains all seven emeralds, he can absorb them all to transform into the Super State, a state where it takes your innate abilities and increasing it by 1000% Sonic could basically run faster than light with it,".

Twilight couldn't geek out more than she could ever, but that explanation of these Chaos Emeralds makes her element of harmony look...useless, "Where could I find these Chaos Emeralds? I wanted to make a few tests with them,"

"No no no! sorry princess, but the chaos emeralds are too powerful for you to handle. You need at least near one so that it can be familiar with you," apologized Tails, "Even if you could find them, they're all the way back in our world,"

"Oh, I see," Twilight was slightly depressed, "They look like a unique topic to study about."

"It sure is," Tails finished off his explanation, "That's just the crash course version, you've got a lot more to learn,"

Then a loud male voice came in the distance as it came louder and louder, calling out the princesses' name, "TWILIGHT! I'VE JUST HIT THE JACKPOT!"

It was none other than Twilight's servant and friend, Spike the Dragon

"Woah there Spike, we have guests!" Twilight calmed him down, "What could be making you so jumpy?"

"Wow! you found your crown?" Spiked pointed out her crown on her head.

"Oh, you wouldn't guess it, this two came from ANOTHER dimension just to return my crown back!" Twilight explained every bit she knows, "That's Sonic, the blue hedgehog, and Tails' the small yellow fox right next to him,"

"Sup little dude!" Sonic waved a hand to him.

"It's nice meeting you Spike!" Tails copied his gestures

"Cool, well back to my story. I was just finishing up the errands you've asked for until I found the mother of all gems on the ground!" The baby dragon pulled out, with his two hands, a blue-colored diamond glowing brightly with an ambient noise emitting from it, "I'm going to eat good tonight!"

Tails stared at the dragons find, and realized in his head on what it really was, "Wait! is that?"

"A CHAOS EMERALD!" Tails gasped deep in his lungs.

"Oh well, better now than later," Spike didn't hear a peep out of them and began to raise the Emerald up high with his mouth wide open, aiming for the emerald.

"No, wait!" Sonic dashed towards the emerald and grabbed it out of his hand just before he was about to consume it, "You're trying to get yourself killed?"

"Woah, how did you," The dragon scratched the back of his head, trying to process the hedgehog's movement, "You were just there and now you're here? but how?"

"That's not important," Tails quickly flew with his twin tails to Sonics position, "What's important is, why is a chaos emerald in this dimension?"

"It looks like it was brought here by chaos control," Sonic answered him, inspecting the glow emitting from it, "So the other six must be scattered across this world too,"

"What do you mean by scattered?" Twilight questioned the fox, still quite surprised about Sonic's speedy recovery of the emerald.

"When all seven chaos emeralds activate their powers, they tend to scatter across the world due to heavy usage, the same goes while reverting back from the superstate." Tails answered her direct question, "But when they do scatter, It's up to us to find them again,".

Tails reached in his satchel bag to pull out his miles electric and began to scan the Emerald with its rear camera. Twilight was fascinated at the technology Tails' was holding, she slowly walked behind his shoulder and staring at the tablet's screen, displaying some data.

"It seems that the time this chaos emerald appeared here was...just seconds after we arrived here 30 minutes ago," The Fox explained, "This doesn't add up! what could possibly trigger a chaos control?"

"Woah! how are those numbers showing on your tablet thing?" Twilight curiously asked him behind his back.

"Oh it's just the basic principals of good ole' technology," Tails grinned.

"Yo Tails, maybe...just maybe that if the emeralds are sent here by chaos control. Maybe the guys are too?" Sonic pointed out.

"That is a point the Sonic, but where do we start?"

"Now now guys, you've probably been through enough, now how about Tails might explain more about the chaos emeralds while we get this situation dealt with? My friends are sure to help out finding the emeralds for you," Twilight asked the two.

"How about I give you a detailed explanation about us and our world with that?" Replied Tails.

"Oh! I always love learning about new things!" Twilight jumped with joy.

"Don't mind me Twilight, I'm just gonna roam around town for a bit, see some cool places, okay?" Sonic stated to the lavender alicorn.

"Sure, you do that," she kindly agrees.

"Well, what are we standing here for?" Amy came in first as she quickly, "Let's get moving."

"Ugh," groan the black hedgehog, walking bear her back, "Just don't make a scene will you,"

"What! me? oh please!" Amy excused his order and began to walk her own pace to the entrance.

"Ugh,"

We to Amy and Shadow as we see them sitting on chairs at their own rounded table, just waiting for anypony to help them. Shadow secretly stared at the emerald, right under the table and just above his lap.

"I hope the rest of the Chaos Emeralds aren't too far from each other," Shadow spoke to himself.

"Wow! Shadow, this place looks amazing!" Amy complimented the whole interior, "It looks like I could eat the place up starting from the ground,"

"I told you, don't make any attention!" Shadow ordered her, "We don't want to cause any harm or disturbance to these creatures,"

"Fine! when is someone going to come to our table?" Amy pouted to herself, only to raise her hand up, "Hey! is someone going to serve us or something?"

"No, I said not to-"

"Hello! Welcome to the..." A pink colored pony with crazy hair appeared out of nowhere, stopping at her introduction to her customers, "Wait! are you?"

"Crud! it might know who we are!" Shadow's thoughts emerged from his head.

"New customers!" she jumped with joy as she assumed the two hedgehogs were new to the town, "Hello! my name's Pinkie Pie. We never had new customers in a long time!"

"Yeah!" Amy answered the pink pony with a big smile, "We came here not so long ago and we would like to check things out in this town,"

"She's right," Shadow played along, still looking stern, "Is there anyon- I mean anypony that's in charge of this town?"

"Well, you could always count on my friend Twilight, she's the princess of this village," She answered the black hedgehog, " But before you go out why not trying some of our tasty treats of your choice? your first one is in the house since you're new here and all!"

"Sorry, we are pressed for time and need to be going," Shadow denied her offer.

"Come on Shadow! you never pass on free food," Amy rebuttal his answer, "Do you have strawberry shortcake? if you do, I'll have a slice of that please,"

"Okie dokie!" Pinkie wrote down her order on some not paper, "How about you?"

Shadow sighed, still oppressed for time, "Just a plain water if you will,"

"Alright, I'll see you with your orders soon!"

As Pinkie left their sights, the two casually sat as they were seen being watched by some of the ponies in their distance.

We go back to the castle, where we see Tails and Twilight inside the library as Tails was making a presentation of the emeralds using a function in his miles electric screen as a holographic projector, showing a picture of the face of evil himself,

"This is Dr. Ivo Robotnik, but we like to call him Eggman." The Fox explained"Every time he tries to plot plans to take over the world by turning little innocent animals into his army of Robots, and even stealing the emeralds and using it for his deeds. He mostly invades our home city; Station Square, but he goes above and beyond from awakening a god big enough to crack open parts of our worlds and enslaving aliens and their planets up."

"That's terrible!" Twilight said as she thought about the poor little animals being turned evil and all of his evil schemes.

"No worries though. During our previous fight, Sonic finally beat the guy up and he's now in a heavily guarded prison cell. Now, onto our next topic,"

He swiped the screen on his tablet to reveal a picture of the seven chaos emeralds and the Master Emerald in the middle.

"This is a picture of all of the chaos emeralds," Tails pointed out to the two, "As you can see, they are in their resting place in our world, in the floating IslandIsland the heavens, known as Angel Island, along with the master emerald. The emeralds origins are still unknown to many, including me, but what I know that they existed long before time had a name. "

"The master emerald? what's that?" Twilight asked him a question, writing down notes with her magic.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you that," Tails realized in his head, "The Master Emerald is that big emerald in the middle. That Emerald contains, even more, power than all the chaos emeralds combined."

Tails then went to an image of the master emerald alone where it is shown it's green glow, "The Master Emerald is what its name applies, it controls the emeralds power and stability. When all seven emeralds surround it while their powers are in use, they get neutralized and become stable again,"

"Ooo!" The princess was hooked upon her amazing knowledge.

"Not only that, the Master Emerald can amplify their powers,"

"Brilliant!' Twilight was never interested in anything in the world, besides this type of subject Tails was teaching her.

"Let's get back to the emeralds," Tails continued, swiping the screen up to see what it appears in Twilight's eyes Sonic with a yellow fur instead of his usual blue and his hair pointed upwards striking a pose, "Like I said, the chaos emeralds can channel their positive energy by sensing a person's good emotions, like caring and kindness. Those said emotions can tap them into the Super State, for instance, this is Sonic in his super as you can see."

"I see?" Twilight continued her pages full of notes, "You said that the super form can increase a person/ponies natural abilities right?"

"Yeah! but not only that, It grants them the ability to fly and temporary invulnerability," The Fox added to her statement, "Sure, you gain powers, however, the superstate can consume huge amounts of a person's life energy, so the longer they stay in Super form, the more likely they will vanish out of existence forever,"

"Oh, I see, overusing that said power can lead to a huge drawback," Twilight paraphrase his explanation, "But, you said that positive energy is channeled by positive emotions, so what would negative emotions be like?"

"I was just about to get to that topic," Tails was slightly surprised about her question, "Well, negative emotions, such as sadness and anger, can release the emeralds negative energy,"It mostly appears by a deep loss, losing a friend or a loved one by death. It then channels the dark energy from the Emeralds to their thoughts, transforming them into the dark state. It is virtually impossible for them to revert back without the Master Emerald's power to neutralize them,".

"Wow! I can't believe the emeralds contain more power than I expected," Twilight finished off the last of her notes as she filled her notes with enough information, "You must be tired after all of that,"

"Yeah," the Fox took deep breaths of his, "So, do you know where I'm going to stay at?"

"Oh, there's an extra room for you and Sonic, do you want me to walk you there?" asked the princess.

"Okay, I'll get settled over there," Tails said, turning off his miles electric and putting it away in his bag, "I want to get well rested tomorrow to check the town,"

"How about I'll inform my friends about these chaos emeralds, that way they know what they are dealing with?" Twilight suggested to him.

"Sure, why not," Tails slowly followed Twilight out the library.

"Thanks, I'll take you to your room before I go to the town. My friend lives closer their,"

"That will work," Tails agreed to her plan.

Above the skies of Equestria, a huge ship-like carrier floats right above the ocean. Where inside, a shadowy figure can be seen from the main control room Sitting down in the captain's chair. It looks too high-tech for anyone in the world to possess.

"Computer!" the voice shouted an order, "Activate cloaking shields!"

"Cloaking Shields activated!"

Then, the big ship disappeared in plain sight as it hid from the naked eye. The figure continued to speak.

"As long as nothing interferes with my plans, this world will have nothing against my intelligence!"

"Chaos energy detected!" the computer announced.

"What! Impossible! The chaos emeralds are back on Earth," The man's voice was enraged, "How in the world could they be here! Unless..."

The man typed on his keyboard right in front of him, "Only a chaos control could send them here, but no! They couldn't spot me here, they thought I was taken to the big house!"

The man slammed his two fists on the keyboard, releasing his stress, "Change of plans, I'll find that hedgehog, his friends, and the Chaos Emeralds before my plan goes to waste."
