Purpose of the Marks

Sonic and Twilight were engaged in a battle with the D.E.R. Sonic had gripped on one of the robot's arm and tried to slash it apart with its claws. It worked as it's arm goes down with pieces of it flying off. Twilight flew upwards and used her cryokinesis to freeze the other arm. She then dove right at the second arm she froze and smashed it off. She then grinned "Ha not so tough now are you?" She asked as she then flew away from one of the lasers fired at her.

She then finds Sonic ripping at the Death Egg Robot front with his claws, then Twilight wanting to get in on that as she turns around and gets her hind hooves ready and then hit the body of the robot and it destroys it completely. More Egg robots came through and started to blast them with their lasers but they manage to run through with Twilight galloping one way and Sonic on his fours the other way.

"Twilight, go for the ones on the left, I got the right!" He yelled out as she nodded as they ran ahead.

Sonic went in with a claw attack on one of them then throw it at the others that were bunched up. With Twilight she went in shooting ice blasts at the robots then kicking them with her hinds leg which causes them to break. She continued this until the last egg robot. She saw Sonic finishing up the last of the Egg robos and then turned their attention to the Egg Dragoon that was coming into the range of them.

"Alright now let's get it before it goes after Celestia and Fluttershy." She said, but she was then blindsided by the Egg Dragoon's laser blast. Sonic saw this and immediately screamed out.

"Twilight!" Sonic yelled as he left the D.E.R, to try to attend to Twilight's wounds. "Wake up Twilight! I need your help!" Sonic pleaded, though could only look in horror, by her lack of movement or response and at the impending doom of the D.E.R trying to slam down on the pair, but as Sonic closed his eyes expecting the attack to make contact he paused, only to see a shield appear above him, he looked about and saw Rarity, her horn glowing the same colour as the shield.

"Thanks, Rarity, take Twilight and get out of here, I can handle this" Sonic stated, his glare directed towards the two ginormous mechas.

""But Sonic I…" Rarity tried to say though Sonic interjected.

"Just go! Celestia, Fluttershy I'm not letting them take you so you go too." Sonic put across, to which Fluttershy went off scurrying to get away, whilst Celestia stayed.

"I'm sorry Sonic, but this man has harmed my student and I've let my emotions get the better of me again!" Celestia angrily refused.

"Celestia… you couldn't have known, I wasn't honest, broke convention and didn't stay to confess the truth, we're past the blame game, and I can't risk another person because of my attitude, it seems that's been getting me into a lot of trouble lately, Just GO!" Sonic angrily yelled as he saw a giant hand trying to strike Celestia he stood in front of it, placing his hands in front of his face and at once a shield appeared.

"You had a shield all this time then why didn't you use it for Twilight?" Celestia asked.

"Can we discuss my way of doing things later, as well you're actually conscious, so while you can… could you please RUN!" Sonic again yelled as his feet started slipping and his shield became weaker. "I can't hold it back… RUN! I won't have to worry and finally cut loose" Sonic begged Celestia, and at first she started flying away, though when Sonic was sure she was gone and let his shield down a giant laser beam enveloped the D.E.R taking it off of the ground and striking the cave, causing it to close off as rocks started filling in the entrance, Sonic looked on in shock at this development, looking to see Celestia a smirk on her face at his battered Werehog form.

"I can't go back, there's no way for me to go back… She… Never mind, but means I ain't got nothing to lose, might as well cut loose." Sonic thought in his mind, though that was quickly overlooked by his sudden rage enveloping him, and in an instant, he let out a mighty roar of primal rage, his body gained that same blue hue when he first met Twilight. And before Celestia could process it, he had charged into the Death Egg Robo, with hints of prejudice, he started clawing away at its power core, his grunts of energy heard even from where she was.

" It's over for you!" Sonic yelled as his hands grew to quite a large size and stretched out, Sonic then proceeded to slam his hands down on the robot repeatedly before jumping into the air and front flipping downwards and as his hand both smashed down onto the Mech, it exploded and the sound it made eventually died into silence.

Celestia could only look on in shock at Sonic 'cutting loose'.

Sonic immediately looked towards the Egg Dragoon, with a deadly bloodlust, smirking like a mad man on a mission. "You want some too, well it's never been my job to disappoint!" Sonic said before he charged towards the hulking Egg Dragoon, and a strange energy enveloped his hand. "TAKE THIS!" Sonic yelled, and in one strike he launched the Egg Dragoon over the carnival ground and the Mecha stayed in the air for a long time, before Sonic looked towards Celestia.

"Hey, Celestia give me a lift!" He requested to which she lifted him up into the air for him to be over the Mech now.

"Death Spiral!" Sonic yelled as he started spinning causing his appearance to change to blue drill, that went right through the Mecha like a bullet through paper, though his collision with the ground created a giant explosion, as the Mecha fell down towards him.

"Sonic!" Celestia yelled as she rushed over to the site of the fallen Mecha to find him ripping and tearing the scraps of the Mecha apart, an animalistic look of anger on his face. "You can stop Sonic!" Celestia said as she approached him her wings gracing his fur.

He turned around his face ragged and quite angered in expression, he regained his calm demeanor and stopped attacking the Mecha, which had already shut off, due to his last attack.

"Ah… sorry, I can… kind of lose myself to this side, just need a sec to chill" Sonic said as his blue hue around his fur faded and he started to take deep breaths. "Anyway I'm not going anywhere, I was hoping that I could go after Eggman after I turned these things to scrap, but no such luck, you kind of accidentally caused the entrance to cave in, so until I'm stuck here… We should probably get going now, no doubt the rest of the girls are gonna have my head" Sonic joked, to which Celestia chuckle.

"Yes, well grab on to me, we'll get there sooner if we teleport," Celestia said, placing her hoof on Sonic, and in an instant, they were with the rest of the group back at Twilight's Castle with Sonic falling down in tiredness but still kept walking.

"Celestia! Where were you guys? Twilight's just waking up!" Rainbow asked as Twilight came out of her castle still in her Werepony Form she then ran to her teacher and hugged her

"Princess Celestia!" She said. "I was so worried for you." She said as she started to develop tears. Celestia hugged her though she was almost as tall as she was which made it a little difficult, but she was able to. "Shhhh it's okay Twilight. I am alright. Don't blame yourself Twilight."

"But that's just it Princess that's the thing. It is my fault. I was the one that let him escape. He was able to create those machines and kidnap you because I was foolish. If something happened to you because of that..I...I.." She had began to cry. Celestia turned to Sonic, he nodded and then came up to Twilight and hugged her in trying to make her feel better.

"Hey don't feel too bad Twi, you made a mistake. The point though is that she's safe and so is everyone else." He said as he hugged her. He then relieved Twilight as she smiled. "Thank you Sonic. You really are something else huh?" She asked. Sonic smirked. "Yeah I've been known for that. It's one of my many talents." He said to her. Twilight rolled her eyes while Fluttershy approached Sonic.

"Um, Sonic?" She asked. Sonic turned to her. "Yes, Fluttershy?" He asked her. "I want to thank you and Twilight for coming to my rescue." She said. Celestia then walked up to him as well.

"I wish to thank you as well for coming to my rescue." She said as she bowed. "I am in your debt." She said. Sonic just smirked and gave a thumbs up. "No problem. I'm just glad everyone's ok." She said. Celestia then rose up and nodded. Sonic then chuckled a little, but then all of the sudden collapse.

"Sonic!" Twilight shouted. She then sat down and lifted him up with her hooves "Are you alright?" She asked Sonic as he tried to get up with the best of his ability.

"I'm alright, I...I'm just a little worn out from today, I think I just need to rest." He said tiredly, but the as he stood up Fluttershy noticed some cuts on his back and then squealed.

"S-Sonic! Y-Your back! It's full of cuts!" She yelled out as Twilight looked around Sonic's back as she saw his wounds behind him.

"Oh my gosh, Sonic what happened to your back?" She said as she looked at Sonic and he groans from the wounds.

"Uh, I got a bit cocky and got a little bit of scratches from those robots." He said as he keeps trying to rub them. Twilight seeing this placed him on her back, with his back up top and then carry him to the stairs but stops as she looks to her friends and teacher.

"I need to get him to a bed and healed up, I'll see you later." She finished as she continued walking up and then into her bedroom as she lies him on a bed with his back on the front.

"You need to rest." She then stood back a little and then pointed her horn to his back. "Here let me heal your wounds." She said as her horns glows and it covers Sonic's back, after a few minutes the glow stops and the cuts were mostly gone though some stayed as Twilight was huffing from exhaustion.

"Sorry I couldn't get any of the other wounds, I guess I'm tired from that fight we had, " Twilight said, exhausted from using her magic.

"No prob, Twily, I think I just gotta rest, give me like say 2 hours and I'll be up and kicking" Sonic said as his eyes started to close and gain weight, though Sonic tried to fight the feeling, by trying to get up, to which Twilight, pushed him back down. "Huh?"

"Sonic… you need to rest, and that means no moving, you've gotta sleep, you must be tired from that battle" Twilight argued, as she laid him down.

"But I feel… agh fine, see I'm already better… agh" Sonic struggled to say as the pain was somewhat overwhelming his argument

"You… sleep… now!" Twilight demanded, almost like an angry mother at her child.

"Fine mooom!" Sonic said as he turned onto his side, and not closing his eyes, Twilight saw this and got quite miffed.

"Sonic, close your eyes!" Twilight said, to which Sonic huffed in response. "Don't huff at me! Go to sleep!" Twilight now really angry, ordered.

"NO!" Sonic said, with a child's sense of disobedience.

"OK fine, you force me to take drastic measures… Somnus!" Twilight said, her horn glowing and that same purple aura surrounding Sonic.

"Huh? What are you… doing… to meeeee….zzz" Sonic snored as Twilight's spell made Sonic sleepy and drowsy and within a few seconds he was out like a light.

"Now that he's asleep, I can try and sleep myself, but he's in my bed, and the rest of the girls may already be too tired to lend a bed… I guess I could sleep on the left side of Sonic" Twilight blushed at the thought of sleeping next to Sonic, but sucked up her pride and decided to slumber next to him anyway, though as she lay on her side, Sonic's fur rubbed against her's, which did not make her situation anymore embarrassing but she was Princess and should rise above that she told herself.

Thank you Sonic, my little hero. Twilight thought as her eyes close and the moonlight shone on the sleeping couple.
