Metal Redemptionby RandomChanceChaptersProlouge - The Villain Who LivesChapter 1 - Mother MetalChapter 2 - The Early DaysChapter 3 - A Slight HiccupChapter 4 - Time Skip And Arrival In PonyvilleProlouge - The Villain Who Lives(P.O.V 3rd) Metal climbed the walls of the crease as the magma river bellow him began to rise. He reached his hand up to reach Sonics and Knuckles was telling him not to. Metal suddenly slapped Sonics hand away from him. This surprised Sonic as he looked down at Metal with a shocked expression. Suddenly an aura had appeared around both Sonic and Metal as Metal spoke. "There is only be one Sonic." Metal spoke in a synthetic monotone voice that sounded like Sonics own. Sonic screamed out Metals name as the magma covered him before the last of the sparks around him died. Knuckles began to pull both him and Sonic up as they tried to out run the magma that rose underneath them. As both Knuckles and Sonic got to the surface Knuckles immediately met up with Tails and the others that were waiting for them. Sonic looked out over the horizon that the sun began to set on as he wondered about Metal and everything that had happened in the short time period that they had fought. He then stopped pondering to meet up with his friends and the president whos life was saved thanks to Metals selflessness. Oblivious to the Two figures that watched the entire adventure from the shadows. (P.O.V. 1st Metal) I found myself in an black void with stars and constellation moving around, all to different to be that of my world. I looked around franticly looking for a familiar constellation to try to figure out where I am. I ended up finding none as I fell to the ground in shock and worry. It was then that I noticed that I wasn't just floating through space and was instead sitting on the ground even though there was none to speak of. I looked around once again to figure out what was going on. Then the memories of what had happened previously came back to me as I held my hand to my head. I was ashamed of my actions and even though I saved the life of the president I still was a villain that needed to be stopped. And Sonic was right there to do the job. "Hello Metal. I hope you are finding your current surrounding comfortable." I heard a soft but powerful female voice from behind me. I quickly whipped my head around to see two figures in front of me. Both very different from each other. The first was an old man with a long white beard flowing down his face. He wore a long set of white robes that looked Greek in nature along with a small crown made of vines and white flowers. His eyes looked full of wisdom and knowledge as he looked at me with a smile. The second was equine in shape and stood at around 6 feet tall. She had a white coat as well as a long red mane and tail. On her head was a foot and a half long horn that was glowing the same hazel green as her eyes. Upon her back was a set of wings the were folded and in a resting position. I looked at the two figures in shock before relaxing. Though inside I had questions floating around like crazy. Who are these people? Where am I? How am I here? What am I doing here? The man spoke to me as if he heard my inner questions. "We are the gods of our respective worlds. I am the god of your world while the pony to the right is the goddess of equestria. you are currently in the space between worlds as we have brought you here." He looked at me again before speaking. "We have brought you here because of your selfless actions in saving The president and unintentionally Sonic and Knuckles lives as well despite your programed mission. The thing none of you realized is that Sonic nor Knuckles had the strength to pull you from that rising magma, and would have died trying." he said with a sad expression before the pony walked up and began speaking. "It is because of these actions that we have decided to let be reborn into my world as a pony. Free from your previous actions and connection to Ivo." After hearing this I stared at the two in visible shock and horror. Shock because they were letting me be reborn, and horror because of what would have happened if I had grabbed Sonics hand. I thought about it for a moment before speaking. "Would I still have the same abilities as I have now." I asked before the old man responded. "Yes. Any memories and abilities somebody acquires during their life time carries over to their reincarnation or afterlife. You will as well." He said before the ponies horn began to glow brighter. She began to move forward before speaking again. "It is time to begin your new life metal, and for your sake I hope it is a good one." She said with a smile as she began to cast what looked to be a spell of some kind. "Wait!" I said abruptly as they looked at me with confusion on their faces before I continued speaking. "I would like to know your names." I said as they smiled softly. "I am Kami. The god of The land of darkness and The land of the sky." Kami responded before the pony spoke. "And I am Faust. Goddess of equuis and its many kingdoms." Faust followed before she completed the spell and my vision faded to black. "Thank you both for giving me a second chance." I said before they smiled at me once again. "Good luck Metal." They spoke in unison before my vision faded completely. (Meanwhile in Canterlot) A white alicorn was sitting in her bed reading a book she had read many times before. She had and ethereal mane and tail with multiple rainbow like colors flowing through it. She was quite tall for a pony standing at 5 feet 11 inches. Her reading was cut short when she felt a strange but familiar magic that had felt as if it had shined bright like her own sun for what felt like hours. Before then presence suddenly disappeared leaving what felt like an empty space. Celestia closed her book before looking out the window into the night sky. Wondering what that strange magic was. Author's Note Hey guys thanks fore reading the prolouge to my story! I always loved Metal Sonic as a character and always wondered how he would mesh well in mlp and the naturally upbeat tone of the show. I originally was going to make this a standerd displaced story but I thought it wouldn't really work if you just took some random human and dropped him into equestria with Metals powers for no reason and thought it was missing the edggy atitude that metal was known for. Note that while I am using the 1999 verson of Metal I will be giving him most of the abilities that metal sonic had from the comics and games to give his abilities more prominance. Another thing that is going on while I did not add any notes on ships they are goin to be part of this story dispite that. Also the story is going to be from metals perspective but will change ocationally. Have a good day and thank you all foal watching! Chapter 1 - Mother Metal(P.O.V 3rd) Twilight velvet was many things. An ingenious writer and publisher. The wife of an amazing stallion. As well as now about to be a mother for the second time. When she and her husband Night Light have recently found out that she was pregnant after a strange case of morning sickness came over her during the previous two weeks. They paid a visit to the doctors to figure out what the problem was and the doctor told them the good news. Now the two are once again approaching the hospital to check up on the child now growing inside her, and hopefully find out the gender of their yet to be born child. (Canterlot General Hospital) Twilight Velvet and Nightlight were led down the halls of the hospital by a nurse who led them into a room where the doctor stood there waiting for them. He looked up from his notepad seeing them enter the room. he placed the notepad on the counter and looked over at them. "Ah hello. You must be Night Light and Twilight Velvet yes." He spoke as the couple nodded he once again looked over at the notepad before continuing. "Good. Now I would like for you to lay down on the bed to that we may check the progress of the child for any early signs of deformity or even gender if we are lucky." Velvet did as she was told and the doctor applied a cold gel before using a strange magic powered x-ray to look at the developing child. When he did this black and white static came from the screen next to them before stabilizing and showing a picture. There were two small dark figures that differed slightly from each other. The one on the left had a small oval shaped muzzle extended a few centimeters from their head. The other was slightly larger and had a bigger more square muzzle. The couple and the doctor looked at the screen for a moment before the doctor spoke again. "Congratulations to you both. It seems you are going to be the parents of a pair of fraternal twins." He said as a smile grazed his muzzle. Velvet and Night looked at each other for a moment before smiling as well. TWINS! This was amazing for them and it brought them so much joy. It was going to be big news to give Shining and it would bring him so much joy and excitement. After the rest of their appointment was concluded the two made their way back home to bring the news to Shining Armor. (Sparkle residence) Shining Armor was walking down the stairs towards the living room after he heard his parents call for him. Not knowing what it was about he was a little apprehensive about it. He wondered if he had done something wrong or if something had happened. He entered the living room to see his parents looking at him. Both with warm smiles on their faces that also held a small amount of... excitement? Shining stepped into the room and sat down on the seat in front of the and began to speak. "Mom. Dad. Is something wrong." The feeling of apprehension he was feeling before was demolished when he heard their response. "No Shining. Nothing is wrong." Night Light said with the smile still on his face. Though this only caused confusion to rise in the young stallion. "If so then what is it you wanted to talk to me about?" He asked not knowing what their reason was. "Shining... your going to have siblings." Velvet said as her smile extended so much across her face that it threatened to split her muzzle in two. Shining Armor almost fainted after hearing that. Though it got him wondering if he was going to have a little brother or sister. Either would be good. It was then he noticed that she said siblings instead of sibling. She seemed to noticed this and answered him before he even asked. "You're going to have a little brother and a little sister." She said with the long smile still stretched across her face. This excited Shining Armor even more than before. A little brother AND sister. He almost couldn't believe it. This was awesome. (Meanwhile in Canterlot palace) (P.O.V. 1st Celestia) It had been a few weeks since the strange magic had appeared. It felt as though it filled a whole in the world that now felt empty. An emptiness I didn't feel ever before, but could not stop feeling after. I spent the hours that did not spend in the sun court using my magic to search for the source of the strange magic. But no matter how many times I tried I couldn't locate it nor could I figure out what it was. I had a theory that it could be the reincarnation of a past villain. Though they were scrapped due to the inconsistencies. Nightmare Moon was still on the moon. Discord was still in stone. Tirek was still trapped in Tartarus. And the Sirens were still banished. I briefly wondered if it was some new evil that was born. But the magic felt to warm and pure to be something like that. I thought maybe another alicorn had been born. But then why would it disappear so suddenly, and where could it have gone to. Surely the populous would want to bring it to her attention immediately if that were the case. Even more so if it had happened in the middle of the day and what felt to be so close to Canterlot. The rest of the city would have known about it before the days end. So that couldn't have been it. It had to have been something else. I looked out the window and began to lower the afternoon sun as I thought more on the subject. The magic was sudden and disappeared as suddenly as it appeared. The only thing I could hope to do right now is wait for the magic to possibly reveal itself again. Chapter 2 - The Early Days(P.O.V. 3rd) (Canterlot General Hospital) Night Light and Shining Armor were sitting patiently in the waiting room... Ok Night was franticly pacing back and forth in the room as Shining shifted from side to side in his chair. The reason for this was that Twilight Velvet got up in the middle of the night feeling slightly sick. Normally that wouldn't be to bad, but then she quickly got Night and Shining because the twins were coming and fast. Night Light and Shining couldn't go with due to the fact that the doctors could not have any distractions during the birth of the twins. After what felt like hours of waiting, sitting, and general worry the doctor stepped out of the room. He let the two in and the sight that greeted them would never leave them for the rest of their lives. Laying in the bed was Velvet holding two bundles in her hooves with both tears in her eyes and a smile on her face. The first bundle was a small lavender unicorn with a purple mane with two stripes running through it. she was sleeping soundly while held up against her mother with her small horn poked through the wrappings. The second bundle had dark blue fur with white star like spots on his neck that ran down his body to his hooves. Another thing that was interesting was that he had an pure blue ethereal mane that flowed with grace and grandeur. The last thing was that on his flank the star marks flowed into what looked like a spiral galaxy shape that surrounded and empty dark blue spot. The two stallions looked back and forth between the two twins. Unable to stay focused on just one due to the foals strange features. "Say hi to daddy and Shining you two." Velvet said in a soft voice. The two looked over at their new father and brother. But while the filly immediately began giggling uncontrollably at seeing the two acting like scared buffoons, the foal just looked at them and just babbled a short word that none knew the meaning to. Velvet looked at Night Light. "I decided to name our little filly Twilight Sparkle, but I can't think of a name for our foal." She said as Night Light put a hoof to his chin in thought. "How about Notte?" He said. Getting a look of confusion before continuing. "It's Pontailian for night and I think it fits pretty well for our foal given his appearance." Velvet let out an "Oh" in response before smiling again. " I think it's perfect." (P.O.V. 1st Notte/Metal) (Time Skip 1 Month) I looked around the small room my even smaller crib was in. The left half of the room painted like the night sky with constellations drawn across it. The moon painted with a strange unicorn figure dotted on it. The right half of the room was filled with the red and orange light of the rising sun that shown beams into the night colored room. Across from the room stood the crib of the filly my new parents named Twilight Sparkle. She was my sister. That was something that I never thought in my short life would ever be able to say. My sister. I was broken out of my thoughts by the door opening to reveal the white unicorn named Shining Armor and another pink pegasus that I had never seen before. She had a curled mane that had an assortment of wild colors that was mirrored by her tail. they both entered the room before Shining started speaking. "So basically just feed her when she's hungry and if she catches on fire just put her in the oven until she calms down." He said in a bored tone. The first time I watched Twilight catch on fire it was mesmerizing, but then she burnt down half the house. The pegasus looked over at me. "What about him?" She asked in a questioning voice. Shining looked over at her confused before realizing his mistake and continuing. "Oh that's Notte. Don't worry much about him. He doesn't really react much to anything. If Twilight needs something just give him the same thing. Otherwise you won't ever know when he needs something." He said before looking at the clock before getting a shocked expression and quickly looking back at the pegasus. "I have to go now. Are you sure you can handle this Cadence?" The pegasus now identified as Cadence quickly responded. "Yes. You can count on me Shining." She said before Shining left the room, closing the door as he left the room with the three of us inside. She looked at the both of us before grabbing a few books off the bookshelf in the corner before moving between both of our cribs and started reading fictional stories to us until Twilight fell asleep. She looked over to me with curiosity. Though most of her focus was on my mane and star pattern. "I wonder what you're going to grow up to be like." She said out loud before closing her book and going to sleep herself. "I'll hopefully be able to live a long and prosperous life if I play my cards right, and so far it looks like I have a good set." I said quietly before sneaking out of the room using my levitation spell that I copied off of mom while she was feeding me and Twilight. I wound up in the sizable family library that I had been in many times before hand. The shelves filled with books of all shapes, sizes, and origins. Ever since I watched Shining Armor studying in the nursery me and Twilight basically lived in I had been fascinated on the subject and began studying and perfecting every spell I could get my tiny underdeveloped hooves on. It had been a quick and simple process due to the fact that I kept my scanner and copy ability that Robotnik built me with. Not only have I been able to copy any spell my family uses in front of me. I have also been able to read and process the knowledge in the spell books in a matter of seconds. The only reason I still come in here is to see if there is anything new which there usually isn't, or to practice the magic that I have copied. The reason I practice these spells is because whenever I copy an ability it's sort of a watered down version of the real thing. Luckily due to the fact I have an organic body rather than a robotic one I can improve my abilities and copied spells rather than being stuck with a watered down variant. I can't wait to see what my future holds. Author's Note Thank you all foal watching! Chapter 3 - A Slight Hiccup(P.O.V. 1st Notte) It's been about four months since my rebirth and getting used to my new body has certainly been a wild roller coaster. After the second month I thought that it would be a good idea to try learning how to walk in my new body and getting myself up to speed so I could use all of my MS powers as I have decided to call them. Unfortunately for me my little body isn't strong enough to handle the stress of Mach 1 or even walking. This is something that I have been trying to fix with a spell that I found in the library that increases muscle density and strength along with increasing the strength and flexibility of my tendons. It has been a slow coming project due to the fact that my bones aren't strong enough to handle the weight yet. The good news is it has sped up the prosses of having the strength to walk by at least a year. If it works like intended then I will keep using the spell to keep increasing my strength in order to adjust to moving at extreme speeds. What no one knew was the fact that I was built to be able to move at a maximum speed of Mach 35. Though that is going to be a slow process and would attract to much attention if I did. Cadence has been showing up to quote unquote 'foal sit' me and has been giving me many ideas on what to do in the future. One of these is manipulating the whether to increase my own abilities. Mainly because pegasai can already change the whether at their leisure. Should the need ever arise I could just crack open a lightning bolt and that would be that. Currently I am sitting in the library looking at myself in the mirror while casting the muscle spell. Staring back at me was the pony I had familiarized myself with performing the same action. Gone were all of the things I had known as Metal Sonic were gone. The only thing that was familiar were a pair of deep red irises that seemed to cut into my soul. I was so focused on my reflection I didn't notice the door open slowly, but I did hear the gasp Cadence made when she saw me using the spell. I immediately looked over at her with my eyes strain wide with surprise. She flinched at seeing my eyes bare into her heart. As if she was looking right into the eyes of the devil. She took a step back before I used my levitation spell to bring her towards me. The words I spoke next seemed to echo through the halls of the house. "What are you doing here?" (P.O.V. 1st Cadence) (3 minutes earlier) I woke up a little while after reading to Twilight and Notte after hearing the faint hum a spell. That was strange due to the fact that it was clear that neither of the twins parents were home nor was Shining. I turned to see twilight sleeping soundly, but when I looked to check on Notte I was shocked to see that he wasn't there. Quickly I ran out the room and quickly went room to room looking for him. Eventually I made my way to the library and the sound of magical humming kept getting stronger. under the door I saw the faint light on the other side. Steadying myself I slowly opened the door, and what I saw made me gasp. Notte was floating mid air while looking at himself in the mirror. His horn glowing the same red color as his eyes. Hearing my gasp he turned his head towards me. His deep red eyes staring into my soul. I tried to take a step back but I was picked up by what seemed to be his own levitation spell. He pulled me closer as he continued to stare at me. As he spoke his next words I felt my fear grow at the deepness of his voice. "What are you doing here?" The room seemed to cause the words to echo. I looked into his eyes with fear and tried to answer his question. "I woke up earlier and didn't see you in your crib. I thought that you had been foalnapped." I said quickly still paralyzed with fear. It was then I felt my eyes get heavy and darkness take me. (P.O.V 1st Notte) I looked at the pegasus that I had put to sleep. I quickly pulled her and my self up with my magic and placed all of the books I had been studying earlier away. I floated her sleeping form onto the mat she had been sleeping on before. I hoped silently that she would think it was a dream. Not taking any more chances I floated myself to bed and fell asleep. (Dreamscape) I opened my eyes to see the star filled space I had grown used to over the months. I summoned up a door with a picture of a star on it. You see during the time I have been here I learned of the princesses of Equestria. The thing that was more interesting to me is the story of Nightmare Moon. It broke my heart when I read it. Because she was just like me. Only used as a tool by the ponies of Equestria and even her own sister. After going to sleep that night I had discovered that I could enter and with enough effort control the dreams of others. Now I had gained enough power to get into the dreams of those much stronger than me. I looked at the door before thinking to myself. 'Do princesses dream of magic sheep?'. I shook that thought away before opening the door revealing its golden glow. I brought my hoof up to shield my face form the slightly painful light. I quickly brought it down and leapt into the dreams of the sun goddess. Author's Note Thank you all foal watching! Chapter 4 - Time Skip And Arrival In Ponyville(P.O.V 3rd) (Golden Oaks) Twilight woke up as she usually did. She got up, ate breakfast, and read a few books before getting ready for the day. It had only been a few weeks since she arrived in Ponyville and she was enjoying it. As she was eating her breakfast she started a conversation with Spike about todays activities. "So that's why I think we should reorganize the books by author rather than by name." Twilight said making her point. "Well that would make since, but not everypony will look for an au-Urp!" Spike said being interrupted by a letter appearing in front of him. Spike quickly caught the letter and read it aloud. Dear Twilight, It's been quite a while since I have seen you. I think it was when Spike was about 4. I decided that it's been far overdo for me to visit you and catch up on things. So I'm writing this in advance to give you time to prepare. I know you don't work well under pressure. It's a miracle you haven't had a mental breakdown at point. Anyways I'll be arriving about one day after you receive this letter. I will see you soon. Love, Notte Twilight gasped when she heard the name of the sender. She immediately grabbed spike in her magic before running into the main library room and starting to reorganize the room. Moving books with her magic while looking around for items to decorate the room with. "I can't believe it! Notte is coming! It's been so long since I've seen him!" Twilight nearly screamed, barely holding in her excitement. Running around with extreme joy. At this moment she heard a knock at the door. she ran over to open it and saw the friends she made while in Ponyville. Standing at the door was Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Rarity. Rarity in particular made Spike immediately come to attention. "Oh hey girls. Its good to see you. Oh maybe you can give me a helping hoof with something." she said ecstatically. Her friends apart from Rainbow Dash gave her a supporting smile. Rainbow Dash just gave her a confused eyebrow raise. "What do you need help from us foe Twilight?" Rainbow said with confusion clear in her words. Twilight looked at her before and replied with extreme enthusiasm. "My brother is coming for a visit tomorrow for the first time in eight years and I want to be ready for his arrival!" Suddenly her friends gave her a look of surprise not knowing she had a brother. Twilight answered their questions before they could even ask them. "Yes, I actually have two brothers. My big brother Shining Armor, And my twin brother Notte." She said before turning away to continue preparing for her brothers arrival before turning again to speak. "Yes...Also Notte is the one who's visiting." Twilight said as her friends walked into the library. Her friends looked at each other before smiling yet again. "Of Course we would be happy to help ya' Twi." Applejack said voicing the others opinion. "What do we need to do first?" Rainbow said. Twilight looked up at them before speaking. (P.O.V 1st Notte) (Time Skip 1 day) (Train To Ponyville) A lot has happened since my first jump into the dreams of Princess Celestia. It turns out she blames herself for her sisters fall into darkness, and has been torturing herself in her dreams ever since. I decided to wait and observe her actions in her dreams. Usually she would be bombarded with questions on how she could have saved her sister, and this is where I learned the true story of Nightmare Moon. Luna, feeling lonely and unloved by anypony. Decided to create a creature that would love and appreciate her night. This creature was Nightmare Moon. Although not the one that became written in history. In fact she was more a normal pony that was given a slight influence over the night, mainly due to her connection to Luna. Luna and Nightmare Moon would speak and care for each other through the night in secret. Then Luna and Celestia went to war with Sombra and The Crystal Empire. In which their final conflict caused the empire to be lost. During the fighting Sombra placed a curse on Luna. A curse that would not take hold for another one hundred years. After the curse finally took hold Luna became violently insane. She forcefully absorbed Nightmare Moon and raised the moon over the sun. Creating the story of Nightmare Moon known today. This is also the reason I am traveling to Ponyville. I believe that she is still somewhere in the castle in the Everfree. Waiting for someone to find her. Over the years I have made sure not to stand out. I made sure my grades where good and graduated Celestias School For Gifted Unicorns early to my families surprise. After graduating I decided to travel the world and learn from all species. I learned more about flight from the pegasai in Cloudsdale. I studied martial arts under the griffons. I learned farming from the earth ponies in Appleoosa. Eventually I got lots of strength training in the mountains with some dragons and later a family of rock farmers called the Pies. Speaking of whom they said to say hi To Pinkie Pie if I ever meet her. Although that's beside the point. The last part of my major journey was to travel to the ruins of Starswirl the bearded laboratory. There I learned some of the most powerful and diverse spells in the world. Thus concluding my journey. During my schooling I got my cutie mark. The mark was a Neutron Star surrounded by what looked like the dust of a blue Supernova. The mark made it even easier to use spells of all kinds and during my travels even earning me a new nickname. The Neutron Nova. That's a bonus if you ask me. I was brought out of my thoughts by the sound of the train stopping. I picked up my black cloak and put it on. Making sure to hide my ethereal mane. I picked up the saddle bags with my magic and put them on underneath my cloak. Making sure that my book was hidden. I brought a book that I had written spells in that I had recovered or created on my journey throughout this world. Two of which I planned to use once I got to The castle. For now though, I would be in the company of my sister and any friends that she's made over the years. The door off the train open, and I step off once again into this wild world. Author's Note Hi it's me. I wanted to thank you for the support I have been getting. This story is already much more than I thought it would be and I plan to do more in the future. Once again thank you all foal watching!
Prolouge - The Villain Who Lives(P.O.V 3rd) Metal climbed the walls of the crease as the magma river bellow him began to rise. He reached his hand up to reach Sonics and Knuckles was telling him not to. Metal suddenly slapped Sonics hand away from him. This surprised Sonic as he looked down at Metal with a shocked expression. Suddenly an aura had appeared around both Sonic and Metal as Metal spoke. "There is only be one Sonic." Metal spoke in a synthetic monotone voice that sounded like Sonics own. Sonic screamed out Metals name as the magma covered him before the last of the sparks around him died. Knuckles began to pull both him and Sonic up as they tried to out run the magma that rose underneath them. As both Knuckles and Sonic got to the surface Knuckles immediately met up with Tails and the others that were waiting for them. Sonic looked out over the horizon that the sun began to set on as he wondered about Metal and everything that had happened in the short time period that they had fought. He then stopped pondering to meet up with his friends and the president whos life was saved thanks to Metals selflessness. Oblivious to the Two figures that watched the entire adventure from the shadows. (P.O.V. 1st Metal) I found myself in an black void with stars and constellation moving around, all to different to be that of my world. I looked around franticly looking for a familiar constellation to try to figure out where I am. I ended up finding none as I fell to the ground in shock and worry. It was then that I noticed that I wasn't just floating through space and was instead sitting on the ground even though there was none to speak of. I looked around once again to figure out what was going on. Then the memories of what had happened previously came back to me as I held my hand to my head. I was ashamed of my actions and even though I saved the life of the president I still was a villain that needed to be stopped. And Sonic was right there to do the job. "Hello Metal. I hope you are finding your current surrounding comfortable." I heard a soft but powerful female voice from behind me. I quickly whipped my head around to see two figures in front of me. Both very different from each other. The first was an old man with a long white beard flowing down his face. He wore a long set of white robes that looked Greek in nature along with a small crown made of vines and white flowers. His eyes looked full of wisdom and knowledge as he looked at me with a smile. The second was equine in shape and stood at around 6 feet tall. She had a white coat as well as a long red mane and tail. On her head was a foot and a half long horn that was glowing the same hazel green as her eyes. Upon her back was a set of wings the were folded and in a resting position. I looked at the two figures in shock before relaxing. Though inside I had questions floating around like crazy. Who are these people? Where am I? How am I here? What am I doing here? The man spoke to me as if he heard my inner questions. "We are the gods of our respective worlds. I am the god of your world while the pony to the right is the goddess of equestria. you are currently in the space between worlds as we have brought you here." He looked at me again before speaking. "We have brought you here because of your selfless actions in saving The president and unintentionally Sonic and Knuckles lives as well despite your programed mission. The thing none of you realized is that Sonic nor Knuckles had the strength to pull you from that rising magma, and would have died trying." he said with a sad expression before the pony walked up and began speaking. "It is because of these actions that we have decided to let be reborn into my world as a pony. Free from your previous actions and connection to Ivo." After hearing this I stared at the two in visible shock and horror. Shock because they were letting me be reborn, and horror because of what would have happened if I had grabbed Sonics hand. I thought about it for a moment before speaking. "Would I still have the same abilities as I have now." I asked before the old man responded. "Yes. Any memories and abilities somebody acquires during their life time carries over to their reincarnation or afterlife. You will as well." He said before the ponies horn began to glow brighter. She began to move forward before speaking again. "It is time to begin your new life metal, and for your sake I hope it is a good one." She said with a smile as she began to cast what looked to be a spell of some kind. "Wait!" I said abruptly as they looked at me with confusion on their faces before I continued speaking. "I would like to know your names." I said as they smiled softly. "I am Kami. The god of The land of darkness and The land of the sky." Kami responded before the pony spoke. "And I am Faust. Goddess of equuis and its many kingdoms." Faust followed before she completed the spell and my vision faded to black. "Thank you both for giving me a second chance." I said before they smiled at me once again. "Good luck Metal." They spoke in unison before my vision faded completely. (Meanwhile in Canterlot) A white alicorn was sitting in her bed reading a book she had read many times before. She had and ethereal mane and tail with multiple rainbow like colors flowing through it. She was quite tall for a pony standing at 5 feet 11 inches. Her reading was cut short when she felt a strange but familiar magic that had felt as if it had shined bright like her own sun for what felt like hours. Before then presence suddenly disappeared leaving what felt like an empty space. Celestia closed her book before looking out the window into the night sky. Wondering what that strange magic was. Author's Note Hey guys thanks fore reading the prolouge to my story! I always loved Metal Sonic as a character and always wondered how he would mesh well in mlp and the naturally upbeat tone of the show. I originally was going to make this a standerd displaced story but I thought it wouldn't really work if you just took some random human and dropped him into equestria with Metals powers for no reason and thought it was missing the edggy atitude that metal was known for. Note that while I am using the 1999 verson of Metal I will be giving him most of the abilities that metal sonic had from the comics and games to give his abilities more prominance. Another thing that is going on while I did not add any notes on ships they are goin to be part of this story dispite that. Also the story is going to be from metals perspective but will change ocationally. Have a good day and thank you all foal watching!
Chapter 1 - Mother Metal(P.O.V 3rd) Twilight velvet was many things. An ingenious writer and publisher. The wife of an amazing stallion. As well as now about to be a mother for the second time. When she and her husband Night Light have recently found out that she was pregnant after a strange case of morning sickness came over her during the previous two weeks. They paid a visit to the doctors to figure out what the problem was and the doctor told them the good news. Now the two are once again approaching the hospital to check up on the child now growing inside her, and hopefully find out the gender of their yet to be born child. (Canterlot General Hospital) Twilight Velvet and Nightlight were led down the halls of the hospital by a nurse who led them into a room where the doctor stood there waiting for them. He looked up from his notepad seeing them enter the room. he placed the notepad on the counter and looked over at them. "Ah hello. You must be Night Light and Twilight Velvet yes." He spoke as the couple nodded he once again looked over at the notepad before continuing. "Good. Now I would like for you to lay down on the bed to that we may check the progress of the child for any early signs of deformity or even gender if we are lucky." Velvet did as she was told and the doctor applied a cold gel before using a strange magic powered x-ray to look at the developing child. When he did this black and white static came from the screen next to them before stabilizing and showing a picture. There were two small dark figures that differed slightly from each other. The one on the left had a small oval shaped muzzle extended a few centimeters from their head. The other was slightly larger and had a bigger more square muzzle. The couple and the doctor looked at the screen for a moment before the doctor spoke again. "Congratulations to you both. It seems you are going to be the parents of a pair of fraternal twins." He said as a smile grazed his muzzle. Velvet and Night looked at each other for a moment before smiling as well. TWINS! This was amazing for them and it brought them so much joy. It was going to be big news to give Shining and it would bring him so much joy and excitement. After the rest of their appointment was concluded the two made their way back home to bring the news to Shining Armor. (Sparkle residence) Shining Armor was walking down the stairs towards the living room after he heard his parents call for him. Not knowing what it was about he was a little apprehensive about it. He wondered if he had done something wrong or if something had happened. He entered the living room to see his parents looking at him. Both with warm smiles on their faces that also held a small amount of... excitement? Shining stepped into the room and sat down on the seat in front of the and began to speak. "Mom. Dad. Is something wrong." The feeling of apprehension he was feeling before was demolished when he heard their response. "No Shining. Nothing is wrong." Night Light said with the smile still on his face. Though this only caused confusion to rise in the young stallion. "If so then what is it you wanted to talk to me about?" He asked not knowing what their reason was. "Shining... your going to have siblings." Velvet said as her smile extended so much across her face that it threatened to split her muzzle in two. Shining Armor almost fainted after hearing that. Though it got him wondering if he was going to have a little brother or sister. Either would be good. It was then he noticed that she said siblings instead of sibling. She seemed to noticed this and answered him before he even asked. "You're going to have a little brother and a little sister." She said with the long smile still stretched across her face. This excited Shining Armor even more than before. A little brother AND sister. He almost couldn't believe it. This was awesome. (Meanwhile in Canterlot palace) (P.O.V. 1st Celestia) It had been a few weeks since the strange magic had appeared. It felt as though it filled a whole in the world that now felt empty. An emptiness I didn't feel ever before, but could not stop feeling after. I spent the hours that did not spend in the sun court using my magic to search for the source of the strange magic. But no matter how many times I tried I couldn't locate it nor could I figure out what it was. I had a theory that it could be the reincarnation of a past villain. Though they were scrapped due to the inconsistencies. Nightmare Moon was still on the moon. Discord was still in stone. Tirek was still trapped in Tartarus. And the Sirens were still banished. I briefly wondered if it was some new evil that was born. But the magic felt to warm and pure to be something like that. I thought maybe another alicorn had been born. But then why would it disappear so suddenly, and where could it have gone to. Surely the populous would want to bring it to her attention immediately if that were the case. Even more so if it had happened in the middle of the day and what felt to be so close to Canterlot. The rest of the city would have known about it before the days end. So that couldn't have been it. It had to have been something else. I looked out the window and began to lower the afternoon sun as I thought more on the subject. The magic was sudden and disappeared as suddenly as it appeared. The only thing I could hope to do right now is wait for the magic to possibly reveal itself again.
Chapter 2 - The Early Days(P.O.V. 3rd) (Canterlot General Hospital) Night Light and Shining Armor were sitting patiently in the waiting room... Ok Night was franticly pacing back and forth in the room as Shining shifted from side to side in his chair. The reason for this was that Twilight Velvet got up in the middle of the night feeling slightly sick. Normally that wouldn't be to bad, but then she quickly got Night and Shining because the twins were coming and fast. Night Light and Shining couldn't go with due to the fact that the doctors could not have any distractions during the birth of the twins. After what felt like hours of waiting, sitting, and general worry the doctor stepped out of the room. He let the two in and the sight that greeted them would never leave them for the rest of their lives. Laying in the bed was Velvet holding two bundles in her hooves with both tears in her eyes and a smile on her face. The first bundle was a small lavender unicorn with a purple mane with two stripes running through it. she was sleeping soundly while held up against her mother with her small horn poked through the wrappings. The second bundle had dark blue fur with white star like spots on his neck that ran down his body to his hooves. Another thing that was interesting was that he had an pure blue ethereal mane that flowed with grace and grandeur. The last thing was that on his flank the star marks flowed into what looked like a spiral galaxy shape that surrounded and empty dark blue spot. The two stallions looked back and forth between the two twins. Unable to stay focused on just one due to the foals strange features. "Say hi to daddy and Shining you two." Velvet said in a soft voice. The two looked over at their new father and brother. But while the filly immediately began giggling uncontrollably at seeing the two acting like scared buffoons, the foal just looked at them and just babbled a short word that none knew the meaning to. Velvet looked at Night Light. "I decided to name our little filly Twilight Sparkle, but I can't think of a name for our foal." She said as Night Light put a hoof to his chin in thought. "How about Notte?" He said. Getting a look of confusion before continuing. "It's Pontailian for night and I think it fits pretty well for our foal given his appearance." Velvet let out an "Oh" in response before smiling again. " I think it's perfect." (P.O.V. 1st Notte/Metal) (Time Skip 1 Month) I looked around the small room my even smaller crib was in. The left half of the room painted like the night sky with constellations drawn across it. The moon painted with a strange unicorn figure dotted on it. The right half of the room was filled with the red and orange light of the rising sun that shown beams into the night colored room. Across from the room stood the crib of the filly my new parents named Twilight Sparkle. She was my sister. That was something that I never thought in my short life would ever be able to say. My sister. I was broken out of my thoughts by the door opening to reveal the white unicorn named Shining Armor and another pink pegasus that I had never seen before. She had a curled mane that had an assortment of wild colors that was mirrored by her tail. they both entered the room before Shining started speaking. "So basically just feed her when she's hungry and if she catches on fire just put her in the oven until she calms down." He said in a bored tone. The first time I watched Twilight catch on fire it was mesmerizing, but then she burnt down half the house. The pegasus looked over at me. "What about him?" She asked in a questioning voice. Shining looked over at her confused before realizing his mistake and continuing. "Oh that's Notte. Don't worry much about him. He doesn't really react much to anything. If Twilight needs something just give him the same thing. Otherwise you won't ever know when he needs something." He said before looking at the clock before getting a shocked expression and quickly looking back at the pegasus. "I have to go now. Are you sure you can handle this Cadence?" The pegasus now identified as Cadence quickly responded. "Yes. You can count on me Shining." She said before Shining left the room, closing the door as he left the room with the three of us inside. She looked at the both of us before grabbing a few books off the bookshelf in the corner before moving between both of our cribs and started reading fictional stories to us until Twilight fell asleep. She looked over to me with curiosity. Though most of her focus was on my mane and star pattern. "I wonder what you're going to grow up to be like." She said out loud before closing her book and going to sleep herself. "I'll hopefully be able to live a long and prosperous life if I play my cards right, and so far it looks like I have a good set." I said quietly before sneaking out of the room using my levitation spell that I copied off of mom while she was feeding me and Twilight. I wound up in the sizable family library that I had been in many times before hand. The shelves filled with books of all shapes, sizes, and origins. Ever since I watched Shining Armor studying in the nursery me and Twilight basically lived in I had been fascinated on the subject and began studying and perfecting every spell I could get my tiny underdeveloped hooves on. It had been a quick and simple process due to the fact that I kept my scanner and copy ability that Robotnik built me with. Not only have I been able to copy any spell my family uses in front of me. I have also been able to read and process the knowledge in the spell books in a matter of seconds. The only reason I still come in here is to see if there is anything new which there usually isn't, or to practice the magic that I have copied. The reason I practice these spells is because whenever I copy an ability it's sort of a watered down version of the real thing. Luckily due to the fact I have an organic body rather than a robotic one I can improve my abilities and copied spells rather than being stuck with a watered down variant. I can't wait to see what my future holds. Author's Note Thank you all foal watching!
Chapter 3 - A Slight Hiccup(P.O.V. 1st Notte) It's been about four months since my rebirth and getting used to my new body has certainly been a wild roller coaster. After the second month I thought that it would be a good idea to try learning how to walk in my new body and getting myself up to speed so I could use all of my MS powers as I have decided to call them. Unfortunately for me my little body isn't strong enough to handle the stress of Mach 1 or even walking. This is something that I have been trying to fix with a spell that I found in the library that increases muscle density and strength along with increasing the strength and flexibility of my tendons. It has been a slow coming project due to the fact that my bones aren't strong enough to handle the weight yet. The good news is it has sped up the prosses of having the strength to walk by at least a year. If it works like intended then I will keep using the spell to keep increasing my strength in order to adjust to moving at extreme speeds. What no one knew was the fact that I was built to be able to move at a maximum speed of Mach 35. Though that is going to be a slow process and would attract to much attention if I did. Cadence has been showing up to quote unquote 'foal sit' me and has been giving me many ideas on what to do in the future. One of these is manipulating the whether to increase my own abilities. Mainly because pegasai can already change the whether at their leisure. Should the need ever arise I could just crack open a lightning bolt and that would be that. Currently I am sitting in the library looking at myself in the mirror while casting the muscle spell. Staring back at me was the pony I had familiarized myself with performing the same action. Gone were all of the things I had known as Metal Sonic were gone. The only thing that was familiar were a pair of deep red irises that seemed to cut into my soul. I was so focused on my reflection I didn't notice the door open slowly, but I did hear the gasp Cadence made when she saw me using the spell. I immediately looked over at her with my eyes strain wide with surprise. She flinched at seeing my eyes bare into her heart. As if she was looking right into the eyes of the devil. She took a step back before I used my levitation spell to bring her towards me. The words I spoke next seemed to echo through the halls of the house. "What are you doing here?" (P.O.V. 1st Cadence) (3 minutes earlier) I woke up a little while after reading to Twilight and Notte after hearing the faint hum a spell. That was strange due to the fact that it was clear that neither of the twins parents were home nor was Shining. I turned to see twilight sleeping soundly, but when I looked to check on Notte I was shocked to see that he wasn't there. Quickly I ran out the room and quickly went room to room looking for him. Eventually I made my way to the library and the sound of magical humming kept getting stronger. under the door I saw the faint light on the other side. Steadying myself I slowly opened the door, and what I saw made me gasp. Notte was floating mid air while looking at himself in the mirror. His horn glowing the same red color as his eyes. Hearing my gasp he turned his head towards me. His deep red eyes staring into my soul. I tried to take a step back but I was picked up by what seemed to be his own levitation spell. He pulled me closer as he continued to stare at me. As he spoke his next words I felt my fear grow at the deepness of his voice. "What are you doing here?" The room seemed to cause the words to echo. I looked into his eyes with fear and tried to answer his question. "I woke up earlier and didn't see you in your crib. I thought that you had been foalnapped." I said quickly still paralyzed with fear. It was then I felt my eyes get heavy and darkness take me. (P.O.V 1st Notte) I looked at the pegasus that I had put to sleep. I quickly pulled her and my self up with my magic and placed all of the books I had been studying earlier away. I floated her sleeping form onto the mat she had been sleeping on before. I hoped silently that she would think it was a dream. Not taking any more chances I floated myself to bed and fell asleep. (Dreamscape) I opened my eyes to see the star filled space I had grown used to over the months. I summoned up a door with a picture of a star on it. You see during the time I have been here I learned of the princesses of Equestria. The thing that was more interesting to me is the story of Nightmare Moon. It broke my heart when I read it. Because she was just like me. Only used as a tool by the ponies of Equestria and even her own sister. After going to sleep that night I had discovered that I could enter and with enough effort control the dreams of others. Now I had gained enough power to get into the dreams of those much stronger than me. I looked at the door before thinking to myself. 'Do princesses dream of magic sheep?'. I shook that thought away before opening the door revealing its golden glow. I brought my hoof up to shield my face form the slightly painful light. I quickly brought it down and leapt into the dreams of the sun goddess. Author's Note Thank you all foal watching!
Chapter 4 - Time Skip And Arrival In Ponyville(P.O.V 3rd) (Golden Oaks) Twilight woke up as she usually did. She got up, ate breakfast, and read a few books before getting ready for the day. It had only been a few weeks since she arrived in Ponyville and she was enjoying it. As she was eating her breakfast she started a conversation with Spike about todays activities. "So that's why I think we should reorganize the books by author rather than by name." Twilight said making her point. "Well that would make since, but not everypony will look for an au-Urp!" Spike said being interrupted by a letter appearing in front of him. Spike quickly caught the letter and read it aloud. Dear Twilight, It's been quite a while since I have seen you. I think it was when Spike was about 4. I decided that it's been far overdo for me to visit you and catch up on things. So I'm writing this in advance to give you time to prepare. I know you don't work well under pressure. It's a miracle you haven't had a mental breakdown at point. Anyways I'll be arriving about one day after you receive this letter. I will see you soon. Love, Notte Twilight gasped when she heard the name of the sender. She immediately grabbed spike in her magic before running into the main library room and starting to reorganize the room. Moving books with her magic while looking around for items to decorate the room with. "I can't believe it! Notte is coming! It's been so long since I've seen him!" Twilight nearly screamed, barely holding in her excitement. Running around with extreme joy. At this moment she heard a knock at the door. she ran over to open it and saw the friends she made while in Ponyville. Standing at the door was Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Rarity. Rarity in particular made Spike immediately come to attention. "Oh hey girls. Its good to see you. Oh maybe you can give me a helping hoof with something." she said ecstatically. Her friends apart from Rainbow Dash gave her a supporting smile. Rainbow Dash just gave her a confused eyebrow raise. "What do you need help from us foe Twilight?" Rainbow said with confusion clear in her words. Twilight looked at her before and replied with extreme enthusiasm. "My brother is coming for a visit tomorrow for the first time in eight years and I want to be ready for his arrival!" Suddenly her friends gave her a look of surprise not knowing she had a brother. Twilight answered their questions before they could even ask them. "Yes, I actually have two brothers. My big brother Shining Armor, And my twin brother Notte." She said before turning away to continue preparing for her brothers arrival before turning again to speak. "Yes...Also Notte is the one who's visiting." Twilight said as her friends walked into the library. Her friends looked at each other before smiling yet again. "Of Course we would be happy to help ya' Twi." Applejack said voicing the others opinion. "What do we need to do first?" Rainbow said. Twilight looked up at them before speaking. (P.O.V 1st Notte) (Time Skip 1 day) (Train To Ponyville) A lot has happened since my first jump into the dreams of Princess Celestia. It turns out she blames herself for her sisters fall into darkness, and has been torturing herself in her dreams ever since. I decided to wait and observe her actions in her dreams. Usually she would be bombarded with questions on how she could have saved her sister, and this is where I learned the true story of Nightmare Moon. Luna, feeling lonely and unloved by anypony. Decided to create a creature that would love and appreciate her night. This creature was Nightmare Moon. Although not the one that became written in history. In fact she was more a normal pony that was given a slight influence over the night, mainly due to her connection to Luna. Luna and Nightmare Moon would speak and care for each other through the night in secret. Then Luna and Celestia went to war with Sombra and The Crystal Empire. In which their final conflict caused the empire to be lost. During the fighting Sombra placed a curse on Luna. A curse that would not take hold for another one hundred years. After the curse finally took hold Luna became violently insane. She forcefully absorbed Nightmare Moon and raised the moon over the sun. Creating the story of Nightmare Moon known today. This is also the reason I am traveling to Ponyville. I believe that she is still somewhere in the castle in the Everfree. Waiting for someone to find her. Over the years I have made sure not to stand out. I made sure my grades where good and graduated Celestias School For Gifted Unicorns early to my families surprise. After graduating I decided to travel the world and learn from all species. I learned more about flight from the pegasai in Cloudsdale. I studied martial arts under the griffons. I learned farming from the earth ponies in Appleoosa. Eventually I got lots of strength training in the mountains with some dragons and later a family of rock farmers called the Pies. Speaking of whom they said to say hi To Pinkie Pie if I ever meet her. Although that's beside the point. The last part of my major journey was to travel to the ruins of Starswirl the bearded laboratory. There I learned some of the most powerful and diverse spells in the world. Thus concluding my journey. During my schooling I got my cutie mark. The mark was a Neutron Star surrounded by what looked like the dust of a blue Supernova. The mark made it even easier to use spells of all kinds and during my travels even earning me a new nickname. The Neutron Nova. That's a bonus if you ask me. I was brought out of my thoughts by the sound of the train stopping. I picked up my black cloak and put it on. Making sure to hide my ethereal mane. I picked up the saddle bags with my magic and put them on underneath my cloak. Making sure that my book was hidden. I brought a book that I had written spells in that I had recovered or created on my journey throughout this world. Two of which I planned to use once I got to The castle. For now though, I would be in the company of my sister and any friends that she's made over the years. The door off the train open, and I step off once again into this wild world. Author's Note Hi it's me. I wanted to thank you for the support I have been getting. This story is already much more than I thought it would be and I plan to do more in the future. Once again thank you all foal watching!
