Purpose of the Marks

It was all quiet in Ponyville as everyone was asleep and enjoying their night. That's when something approached Ponyville.

"AWOOOO." It yelled out as it went rampaging into the town. Ponies that were inside their house immediately closed their windows and doors under the assumption that it was a timberwolf. Everybody hid as the creature jumped in. It then started to go around town and smash everything in its path like a wild beast.

Sonic was resting in a tree, overlooking the town of ponyville, when he heard the roar of a vicious creature, and in a moment he was awoken, and fell off of the tree branch he was lying on deliberately to land on his feet, and now crack his bones, and roll his arms back stretching his ligaments, hearing them click in response to the pressure he applied to each one.

"Ah! It's time to save Ponyville, and maybe teach Twilight a few things! AWOOOO!" Sonic roared, as he brought out his unleashed form, blasting straight towards the town, his adrenaline at max and his heart pumping to compensate for his excitement… He arrived in the town to find Twilight wrecking stuff and not having a care, though still having a mad rage moment, where her inhibitions were dropped.

"Yo Twilly, take it easy, I said you'd get cuddlier, no need to get this mad about it!" Sonic joked, which caught Twilight's attention immediately.

"YOU!" She yelled, charging straight for the familiar Werehog, though when she went to strike, she missed, and was pulled directly to the ground as Sonic had weaved out of the way and kept Twilight in place, whilst falling face first to the ground, and wrapping his arm around Twilight's neck, forcing her to hit her back on the floor.

"Yeah. Me, listen Twi, give up I don't want to hurt you, please let's end this" Sonic pleaded, getting up from his slumped position, and as soon as he got up, he was attacked by Rainbow as she rocketed into him.

"LEAVE TWILIGHT ALONE!" She angrily yelled, as she kept punching him to which he just chuckled at , before she hit him with a haymaker, launching him into a tree. To which he just got back, and when Rainbow tried to strike him again he grabbed her hooves, and headbutted her, and proceeded to strike her so hard she slammed into a building.

"I'm trying to help her! We need to incapacitate her! Don't worry about hurting her, that Were uhh pony as you can tell from me are able to take quite a lot of punishment!" Sonic bragged, to which Rainbow now rose from her slumber, now yelled at Sonic again.

"Well, how do I know I can trust you?" She asked the Werehog smiled.

"Because I'm the only one strong enough to deal with that power." He then started to run through with his claws extended, to which Twilight also copied his actions.

"ARGH!" Twilight yelled, visible anger on her face, as they locked hands in a demonstration of strength.

"Let's do this!" Sonic said strain in his voice as he looked at Twilight with the same angered expression.

This left the ponies stunned at the display as each Were-Monster were not giving an inch. Until Sonic could feel cold emanating from Twilight's horn., until he was engulfed in a bright white light, that encased him in ice. Twilight saw this and came again to strike Sonic, though was stopped by Rarity putting a shield around Sonic's body, to which Twilight was confused by but kept slashing at trying to get at Sonic.

"Leave him alone!" Applejack yelled as she bucked Twilight far away from Sonic.

"Uh?" Twilight asked confused.

"He's the only one who can save you, so like it or not , we're part of the same group now" Applejack yelled, as she stood, alongside the girls Sonic behind them looking in all directions before breaking out of his containment.

"Argh! Guys clear out, I've got an idea, don't try to stop me, Twilight is just like me and has a temper to boot, she needs to fight someone of equal strength and ferocity. That's me, this may burn both of us out, just stand back and if it doesn't work keep trying to reason with her!" Sonic yelled as she charged again at Twilight, to which she gladly accepted that challenge.

They charged at each other a bestial instinct to push each other in battle as they grasped each other's hands once again.

"AHHHHHH!" They both yelled as they rushed towards each other for hours, their rage cooling each other before Sonic's hands started to freeze over again,though kept on holding on. Until eventually with one final scream and Sonic's body nearly covered in ice from his fingers to his belly, both of the Werehog/pony Titans, created a giant explosion in their rage, though once the dust and light cleared, both Sonic and Twilight, started losing consciousness, till eventually, they both passed out, and with the first rise of the sun both transformed back into their regular forms.

Leaving the rest of the group stunned by this sudden development, though what would leave them more shocked was the arrival of the Sun Princesses' chariot, and of course, the figure in it "My loyal subjects, what has happened here?!" Celestia boomed, her voice sending all ponies, besides the mane 5 into shivers of fright.

"Listen, Celestia, it's like this see. That guy, Sonic, was fighting against Twilight, cause she had that same transformation he can do, and she was destroying the town. Sonic, whilst getting pummeled asked for my help and so I defeated Twilight and saved the town!" Rainbow arrogantly boasted, to which the rest of the group groaned except Pinkie who was there, still stunned silent ( Very hard to do by the way) by what has happened. Applejack then went over and knocked her head in annoyance.

"Rainbow this ain't about you, it's about Twilight and Sonic, you got nearly knocked out when you attacked Sonic and he was the one who saved Twilight." Applejack honestly answered.

"Regardless he has still committed criminal offences to a citizen of Ponyville and escaped punishment without proper consent, so as it stands he's still a criminal" Celestia explained, to which Rainbow Dash spitefully rubbed in Applejack's face.

"Yeah well he's one of the best criminals in Ponyville, you can't treat him so badly after saving our flanks from a rampaging monster, if that's a criminal then a hero must be royalty, and you can't do any wrong if you are royal." Applejack scoffed, before heading to Sweet Apple Acres and leaving the rest of the group to pick up Twilight and Sonic and escort them to Twilight's castle.

After a while has happened Twilight wakes up to find herself in bed in her chambers in her castle.

"What am I doing in bed I thought I was in a hospital be- Oh no did I transform like he said?" She thought as she gets up from her bed and pace around her own room thinking to herself on what happened last night.

"The last thing I remembered was a pain going through my body and I don't remember anything else, only howls and Sonic talking to me." She then stopped as she remembered that Sonic saved her and brought her to a hospital, but that's when her head hurt and then her friends came in aside from Applejack. She looks to them a bit frightened. "Girls what happened last night?" She asked. The others looked scared and then Pinkie went up to her and took in a deep breath. She then quickly explained what happened in her hyperactive tone what occurred, about Twilight's transformation, and about Sonic's dilemma. Twilight then got worried

"Oh no! I hope there's still time to save him!" She then felt compelled as she then runs out the room and goes through the hallways to the front of the castle where she sees Princess Celestia, with a few guards near Sonic who was in the same cage as in before.

"Ok, I'm not too late!" She runs down the stairs. "Wait don't lea..." She was yelling out as she then misses a step and tumbles down to the floor. Celestia turns and walks up to Twilight.

"Twilight? I thought you were still asleep?" She said questioning her as Twilight gets up and looks at her.

"Princess, I know this might be defying your orders but I ask you to release Sonic this instant." She said as she hoped that she would listen. Celestia then raised an eyebrow at this.

"And why should I dear Twilight?" She asked while Twilight thought of what to say.

"Well, uh I was thinking that maybe he can stay here in my dungeon." She said as she thought up though Celestia was suspicious.

"Wait I thought you didn't want this thing anywhere near you… Especially after what had occurred last night." She said. Twilight though just tried to act like she wasn't wanting to try anything.

"I-I-I just think it might be better. After all, he's my problem and as a Princess, I have the right to handle my own problems." Twilight lied, yet again, which was painful to do, but she was dead-set on seeing Sonic again, for an unexplainable reason. Celestia looked as she was thinking of why would she want Sonic with her, she thinks that Twilight can possibly make friends with him even after what happened, she took a chance and accepted it.

"Alright, if you want to see him, to reconcile or to let out your frustrations towards him I understand," Celestia said, letting her student go down to the supposed dungeon to meet Sonic, she entered the room, to see Sonic weary and left in chains, his breath incredibly heavy, as he heaved and struggled against his shackles, until his strength left him again, so he laid on the floor, nearly drifting to sleep.

"S-Sonic?" She softly spoke though he didn't hear then spoke louder.

"Sonic!" She yelled, which got his attention.

"Huh? Twilight? What are you doing here? Go back to your room, what would your teacher say if she found me here, with you?" Sonic panicked, though that made Twilight giggle for some reason.

"What? Scared of getting caught?" Twilight said, a sultry teasing tone in her voice.

"Are you OK? You're acting like a girl from my world who always flirts with me… and the less I say about that the better" Sonic joked as he didn't want to hear of her.

"Hm, regardless are you OK? And also what happened last night?" Twilight questioned Sonic to no end.

"You had your first transformation, into this, the only reason you're normal now, it's because well, you had light in your room and because your next transformation is going to be easier to access as well as your body adapting to the change. I never had to go through that as I had transformed several times before my first full-fledged transformation into… this thing" Sonic sadly stated, to which Twilight, stroked his fur, and he almost melted into her hoof, as her hoof was soft to the touch.

"Zzzzzzz… ugh… anyway, I'm gonna head to bed, so that this morning I can wake up being me, also fair bit of warning the sun and the moon are what trigger the transformations, so yeah watch for that, and since no light really get in here I'm like this until I can I get some light in here. But just go back to bed, you'll need your strength for tomorrow… See ya around Princess" Sonic said, now lying on the floor, his eyes, giving Twilight one last wink before he went to sleep, prompting Twilight to head back upstairs though as she got under her covers and went to sleep again she could only think one thing…

He's concerned about me more than himself, why? Not that I don't find him caring cu…. No Twilight you can't be falling for him, he's from another world it would never work, so why would I even try… right? Sigh, I need to stop thinking about that and see what I can do to try and get Sonic out of this, but what can I do?
