Chapters Prologue: An Accidental Start to Adventure
Prologue: An Accidental Start to Adventure
(Twilight Sparkle's Point of View)
Well, my friends and I had quite an adventure with the Mobians that came crashing into my castle. But now, I'm just happy that we get to relax. I was bored when there was no Friendship Problem for me to solve, but I'm okay.
Besides, my whole family is coming over. My parents, my brother Shining Armor, my sister-in-law Princess Cadance, my nephew Guard Armor, and... the newest member of our family, Flurry Heart. She's a little more fussy than Guard Armor was, and Guard was a little bit jealous that Flurry was getting more attention, but I'm sure he'll get over it.
M.C., Mutt and Ava had already gotten used to living here in Equestria as well. Sure, most of the ponies aren't used to them yet, but they just let them do what they want. They aren't doing anything illegal. But now, we're getting used to our newest guest in the castle, Starlight Glimmer.
Also, Joshua has been getting used to being a pony. Sure, he was a little upset that he lost his humanity permanently, but he's doing fine. Plus, he has Nyx as a big sister that'll stick up for him. Speaking of Joshua, he just came into the throne room where I was.
"Hey, Mommy," said Joshua. "They're here."
I looked towards him and said, "Okay, Josh." I then got up from my throne, and Josh led me to the family room. There, we saw my whole family there.
"Hey, Twylie," said my brother. "How have you been doing?"
"Pretty good," I told him. "Things have been calm around here. So far, nothing has yet to happen. The only thing that has happened the last two weeks were when Pinkie Pie and Rarity went to Manehattan for two different things, and Nyx, Joshua and their friends helping a colt find his special talent."
"Well, I'm sure things will turn up eventually," said Mom.
"Well, not yet," I said. Then a rumble came. We all were startled. "Let me go check on something." I then teleported out of the room and into another room. There, I saw scorch marks on the table in the middle of the room, making it look like something exploded.
"I told you this wouldn't work," came M.C.'s voice. I then turned towards him, and I saw him and Starlight wedged into the wall. "I was trying to warn you, but you didn't listen."
"How was I supposed to know it was going to explode if I put in more sulfur?" asked Starlight.
"I told you that before you did it," said M.C. "I've experienced that same recipe a while ago. On Earth. You were being careless. Sometimes, you have to listen to someone that knows what you're doing."
"He's right, Starlight," I said. "Sometimes, it's important to listen to your friends when they're trying to warn you on what you're doing." Then I used my magic, and took them out of the wall. Then I looked around. "Where's Mutt?"
"Bathroom," said M.C. "You know what they say, when you gotta go, you gotta go."
I then thought about it, and I nodded, saying, "Yeah, that's true. Anyway, maybe you should take a break from your work."
"Speaking of the bathroom," said Starlight. "I have to use it. I'm still lost around here."
"Just follow the golden path I'm leading," said M.C. Then Starlight started following a path that M.C. was leaving her. "One day, I have to work on a directory around this place."
"Yeah, that's a good call," I said. "Hey, have you seen Ava? I haven't seen her in two weeks?"
"Oh, she's helping miss Yearling on her next adventure," said M.C. I then went wide-eyed, and then looked at him.
"You know... that A.K. Yearling...?" I asked.
"Is Daring Do," said M.C. "Besides, she's not the first live action book character I've seen."
"Wow," I said. "You are good. Does Mutt know?"
"I didn't tell him," said M.C. "Neither does his mom. Besides, he thinks that his mom is going to be helping out with the writing of the next Daring Do book."
I then started laughing, pounding the floor with my right hoof. Then I said, "Yeah, I guess she is." I then whispered into his ear. "Let's just hope that Mutt doesn't find out."
"Yeah," said M.C. "He would be freaking out."
"Anyway, let's get something to eat," I said. "I'm starving."
"Good call," said M.C. "How about I make some spaghetti?"
"Sounds good," I said.
M.C. made a huge batch of spaghetti for all of us. We were all enjoying our meal.
"So, how have you been doing for so long, Michael?" asked my mom to M.C.
"I've been doing good," said M.C. "It's been quite the adventure here. One adventure after another."
"And but I guess some adventures don't come on for a while," said Mutt. "M.C. and I travel across the country back in our time."
"Luckily, I was at the right place at the right time when someone was in danger," said M.C.
"So, M.C.," said Cadance. "Did you have any girlfriends back in your old time?"
"I dated once," said M.C. "But, when she and I kissed... it turns out it was just lust, not love."
"I'm sure you'll find a girl that'll be happy with you," said Cadance.
"Yeah," said my dad. "There's someone out there for every creature."
Then the door opened and in came the rest of my friends. Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rarity and Rainbow Dash.
"Hey, y'all," said Applejack. "How's it goin' ev'rypony?"
"We're doing good, Applejack," I told her.
"Well, that's good to hear," said Rarity. "It is good to see your whole family here."
"It's good to see you all as well," said Cadance. "I just hope that we won't be such a bother."
"More bother of a time when Flurry Heart broke the Crystal Heart with her cry, and M.C. and I could barely hear anything for the half hour after it happened?" Mutt asked.
"Luckily you got your hearing back before the Crystalling happened," said Spike. Then the sound of something crashing came from down the hall. "What was that?"
Then M.C. had his eyes glowing in a golden aura, and then he said, "That... is Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo. Hm. That's odd. Where's Dinky?"
"Dinky's with her mom and her sister on vacation," said Nyx. "She won't be back for two weeks."
"I'm guessing she'll do her schoolwork while she's on vacation?" I said.
"Of course," said M.C. "She's got two weeks of homework to do when she's gone."
Then Starlight Glimmer and the three other Crusaders came into the room. Starlight said, "Twilight! Something's going on in the throne room!"
Then we all got up, and headed towards the throne room. We burst through the door, and saw the Cutie Map releasing energy, sending it up in the middle of the room, and then a portal opened up.
"What's going on?!" asked Mom.
"No..." said M.C. "Not one of those."
"What is it, M.C.?" asked Fluttershy.
"That's a time vortex!" shouted M.C. Then we all got sucked in towards the portal.
"Whoa!" I said. "What's happening?!"
"It's sucking us in!" shouted Twilight. "Hang on, everypony!"
Then Mutt was pulled in, shouting, "WHOA!!" But M.C. grabbed him before he was sucked in. "Thanks!" M.C. was groaning, trying to keep Mutt from being sucked in.
The suction was too powerful. It sucked in basically everypony, except Starlight. The suction made us push M.C. in, and we all were sucked into the portal. Then we blacked out.
I woke up, groaning. I got up, and put a hoof to my head. Only to feel a hand instead of a hoof. I looked at my body, and saw that I was in a weird bodysuit that matched my mane. I also saw my tail.
"What?" I asked. "That's... weird." I then looked at the rest of me. It was like I was a human pony. I felt my face, and it felt like that muzzle that Mutt and his mom has. I then felt my horn area, and... my horn was still there. I looked on my back, and there were my wings. Then I saw my friends and family. They all looked like they had the same kind of transformation, but my dad, my brother, Joshua and Guard didn't seem to be wearing any bodysuits. Then I just realized, we looked Mobian versions of ourselves. I knew I had to wake everypony else, so I shouted, "WAKE UP, EVERYPONY!!"
Then everypony woke up from my shouting. They all woke up, and saw what has happened to them.
"What the...?" asked Shining Armor. "What has happened to us?"
"I don't know," I said. "I just woke up like this, too."
Then I heard Mutt groaning. Then he looked around and said, "Hey. Where's M.C.?"
We looked around the room, and saw that M.C. wasn't in the room. I then asked, "Good question, Mutt. Where is M.C.?"
(M.C.'s Point of View)
I woke up, and I was in some weird container for some reason. I then broke out of that container, and found myself in some kind of weird jungle area.
"What is this place?" I asked.
"Simulation Battle Starting, " came a computer voice. "Simulated opponent selected. Selected opponent: Biolizard. The Prototype of Shadow the Hedgehog, the Ultimate Life Form. "
Then a huge lizard came out of the sky. I smiled and said, "Interesting. I was hoping for more of a challenge. Let's see what this artificial enemy can do."
The simulated creature fired an energy blast from it's mouth, and I dodged it. I know it wasn't the real thing, but these guys wanted to test me. No doubt that this place was simulated by GUN. I then started running around this fake Biolizard, and then I started running onto his head, and shredded its weak spot on the back of this creature. Then the fake Biolizard roared in pain, and it went dead.
"Simulation over. Recorded time: Zero minutes and 12 point eight six seconds. Data confirmed. You are... Prince Michael Crayton. The Ultimate Avenger. "
"Ultimate Avenger?" I asked. "I wasn't called that before." Then I put a finger to my chin and said, "Although, it does have a catchy name to it. "M.C. the Fox, the Ultimate Avenger." I like the sound of that."
"Indeed," came a voice I was all to familiar with. I turned around and saw a black hedgehog, Shadow the Hedgehog. "About time you got back."
"'Sup, old man?" I asked him. "Where are we?"
"Area 99," said Shadow. "New headquarters for GUN."
"Alright," I said. "Have you seen Mutt?"
"Mutt?" Shadow asked. "As in Benjamin Muttski?" I nodded, scowling at him. My scowl was more angry than he usually is. "I know where he is. But, he's not alone in the room. Some new Mobians are with him."
"New Mobians?" I asked. "What new Mobians?"
"They're all like colored horses," said Shadow. "Four different kinds. Three of them just have wings, six of them have horns, three of them don't have anything, but five of them have both wings and a horn. Oh, and there's also a purple lizard."
"Interesting," I said. "Wait a minute. Does one of the pegasi have a mane and tail that has the colors of the rainbow? And does one of the alicorns have blue dragon like eyes?"
"Yep," said Shadow. "Although, she was the only one of the horses who has those kinds of eyes. It's weird."
"That's because she wasn't born like any normal one of them," I said. "Besides, they're not really horses. They're ponies. And that one isn't a lizard. He's actually a dragon."
"Never seen a dragon like him before," said Shadow. "Allow me to show you where they are." He then led me out of there, and towards one room. Shadow then held out a card, and swiped it on a keypad. Then he pushed a few buttons and then the door opened. And inside were my friends, only they were Mobian versions of themselves. The girls were wearing some body suits to cover up their private areas. Luckily, the boys didn't have any sign of their privates.
"M.C.!" said Mutt. "You're okay!"
"Of course I'm okay," I told him. "Why wouldn't I be?"
"M.C.," said Twilight. "Where are we?"
"We're still on the same world," I said. "But, it's not where we went. But when."
"We're back in the past?" asked Twilight. "As in your time?"
"But how can that be?" asked Twilight Velvet.
"It's a mystery to us as well," I said. "But right now, we need to find a way to get back."
"What do we do?" asked Nyx. She then looked over at Joshua. "Joshua? Are you okay?"
"It... it feels kinda weird being like this," he said. "M.C., where are we going to go?"
"Well, we're gonna need someone who's really smart," I said. "Smart enough to make a Time Machine to send us back to the future," I said.
"Awesome movie," said Mutt. "Hated the swearing parts."
Then Shadow walked in and said, "So, all of them from the future. I know someone who would be able to help. Well, three someones."
"Who?" I asked. Then Shadow handed me a file that has three flaps.
"Three of the smartest people that are able to build time machines," said Shadow. "Option one..." He then opened the file in my hands.
"Miles Prower," I said. There was a head shot of him. "Child genius." Twilight then looked over my shoulder.
"Huh," said Twilight. "He's nicknamed Tails. Why is that?"
"He was born with a slight mutation," I told her. "He has two tails. And it's weird, because he's able to fly with them spinning like a propeller on a zeppelin."
"Wow," said Rainbow Dash. "He's pretty cool."
"Option two..." Shadow said, turning the page. This time, it was a head shot of an otter friend I haven't seen in a while.
"Alexander Hamilton Lynol," I said. "Alex for short. Also known as, Midpoint. Basically, the smartest person on Mobius. Graduated College at age 10. Got a PhD in all technological sciences and mechanics."
"This guy sounds perfect," said Twilight. "Where do we find him?"
"That's gonna be hard to describe," said Shadow. "Sometimes, he finds you when you're looking for him."
"He's able to see all possible futures up to 72 hours," I said. "He must've told you we would be arriving here."
"Actually, he texted me," said Shadow. "To your exact location. But, your third option, you're not going to like."
"Let me guess," I said. "Eggman?"
"Yeah," said Shadow.
"He's out," I said. "No way we're going to give the idea to a time machine to someone who would use it to rule the world through all of time."
"Good call," said Shadow. "I'll get you a ride to Station Square. From there, you're on your own."
"Might... I make a suggestion?" asked Rarity.
"Shoot," said Shadow.
"Might we get some new outfits?" asked Rarity. "These outfits we have are a little... tacky and restrictive."
"Sorry," said Shadow. "But that's the only things he have for you. Plus, you females can't go around naked."
"It's true," I said. "The females wear clothes to keep their private areas covered. The private areas of a female are the chests, and the crotch."
"It's a law here," said Shadow. "Wait a minute. How do they not know this?"
"They weren't Mobians to begin with," I said.
"Okay," said Shadow.
"Luckily..." I said before sighing, "I know someone. And she's in Station Square."
"I'll have some men drop you off there," said Shadow. "Luckily, we got a bus for your transport." Then Flurry Heart teleported herself onto my head. She then giggled. "How did she do that?"
"Ponies have magic," I said. "Different kinds. Unicorns generate magic through their horns to levitate things or use magical spells. Pegasi are able to fly and manipulate clouds. And Earth Ponies have incredible strength and endurance, and they are able to farm things."
"But what about the winged unicorns?" asked Shadow.
"They have all three," I said. "Although, their magic is way more powerful than all the others. And... alicorns are considered royalty."
"Are you saying that five of these ponies are royalty?" asked Shadow.
"Yep," I said. "Well, the white male stallion is this purple one's older brother, and he's married to the pink alicorn, and these two..." I said pointing at Flurry and Guard, "...are his children."
"It's true," said Cadance. "Although, Guard and Flurry were the first two naturally born alicorns. We do things differently in the future. An alicorn must earn her title."
"Okay," said Shadow. "What about her?" Shadow pointed at Nyx.
"She wasn't born like any normal pony," said Twilight.
"What was she? Made in a lab like I was?" Shadow asked.
"Close," I said. "She was created by a cult of ponies with corrupted minds to bring the country to a night eternal. But, they failed, and were released from their corruptions."
"And I adopted her as my daughter," said Twilight. "She has a loving family."
"Alright, so what about this kid?" asked Shadow, pointing at Joshua.
"He's actually... a human turned pony from Earth," I said.
"He's from Earth?" asked Shadow. "Isn't that on the other side of the universe?"
"Yeah," I said. "Just about two years ago, his parents sent him to this world in the future right before Earth was destroyed."
"WHAT?!" asked Shadow. "Poor kid. He's just like you. In a way."
"Yeah," I said. "Who do you think asked his parents to send him here when he was four?"
"You agreed to let them stay on Mobius?" asked Shadow. "But, let me guess, they didn't have enough power to send them all here, so they let Joshua go here alone, but it was time that was the problem. How far in the future were these guys from?"
"10,000 years," I said. "Now, let's get going."
Shadow then led us to a transport room. It looked like it has a lot of jeeps, tanks and...
"Wait, is that a Charter Bus?" I asked.
"Yep," said Shadow. "Alex Lynol payed for it. He says that you can have it." Then he got out a cell phone that was ringing. "He just texted me. He says he's working on the plans for the time machine, but the power source would be hard to get."
"What would that power source be?" asked Twilight.
"He says that it would have to be a power source that would light up a casino for centuries without the use of power plants," said Shadow.
"We're gonna be stuck here for a while," said Shining Armor.
"I'm sure that Alex is able to find that power source," I said. "Now, let's get going."
"Let me see your Driver's License," said Shadow. I then handed it to him. He was checking it. He then chuckled and said, "You got a month left until this license of yours expires. Plus, Alex said that you are all welcome to stay in his mansion in until it's complete."
"Shouldn't he have already have it done?" asked Twilight. "He does have the ability to see all possible futures."
"Well, he said that the power source he'll have will take about three months for it to be finished," said Shadow. "He says you might as well get comfortable here."
"Good call," I said.
"And also," said Shadow, "since you have taken down the most deadliest of enemies that we've faced, you're no longer banned from all hotels."
"Finally," I said. "All of those people thought I shouldn't hold onto the memories of my family. That was just harsh."
"Family is important," said Twilight. "Definitely. Now, should we get going?"
"Right," I said. "Everyone on the bus. Shadow, keys."
He then handed me the keys. He said, "Good luck, kid."
"See ya, old man," said Shadow.
"You traveled to 10,000 years in the future," said Shadow. "Who's the old man now?"
"Still you," I said. I then walked over to the bus, and opened it up. I got in first, and I said. "Looks like they already installed some baby car seats." Then Mutt pulled out something from one of the pockets on his belt. "This little horn shield shall block out magic from Flurry Heart's horn. It was alicorn tested."
"Starlight and I tested this on Twilight and Nyx after we got back from the Crystalling," said Mutt. "Luckily, it's ready." Then Mutt installed it on Flurry Heart, and then twisted it. "Now, it's locked. And baby proof."
"Good call," said Cadance. "So, how long until we get to Station Square? Wherever that is?"
"It'll take about two and a half hours by this bus," I said.
Rainbow Dash groaned and said, "What are we going to do until we get there? We didn't bring anything to do?"
"There's a DVD player installed," said Shadow. "And a CD case full of DVDs for entertainment."
I then pulled out a CD case, and saw DVDs in it. I then saw a movie that I think all of them would like, and said, "Sweet. Zootopia."
"What's that?" asked Apple Bloom.
"It's a movie that's about talking animals," I said. "Like us, but way more complicated."
"Sounds good to me," said Twilight.
Each side of the bus has two seats. So we had assigned seats. Row 1-L, Flurry Heart and Guard Armor. 1-R, Twilight and Mutt. 2-L, Cadance and Shining Armor. 2-R, Nyx and Joshua. 3-L, Twilight Velvet and Night Light. 3-R, Spike, all by himself. 4-L, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy. 4-R, Applejack and Apple Bloom. 5-L, Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo. 5-R, Rarity and Sweetie Belle.
"Alright," I said. "Let's get started. Mutt, you're in charge of the remote."
"Sweet," said Mutt, taking the DVD remote. "By the way, what happened to Starlight?"
"She must've stayed back in the future," I said.
"I just hope she'll be alright all by herself," said Twilight.
Back to the Future...
(Third Person Point of View)
Starlight Glimmer was stunned to see everyone she saw just got sucked into a time vortex. She then looked around, thinking of what to do.
"What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?" she asked herself. "Oh, sweet Celestia." Then she went wide eyed. "That's it. Princess Celestia should know what to do." She then ran out of the castle, locked it up, and then headed straight to the train station.
Author's Note
M.C. and Mutt finally went back to the past. But they didn't go back alone. What are the ponies going to do until they are stuck as Mobians for a while.

Chapter 1: Station Square Tour
Chapter 1: Station Square Tour
(Twilight Sparkle's Point of View)
Well, that was an interesting movie we just watched. A bunny that grew up to be a cop, teamed up with a fox to stop a major conspiracy, and made sure predators and prey live in harmony. That was an interesting movie. It was a bit scary, but it went from scary to interesting in times.
Even Guard Armor and Flurry Heart thought it was cool. It was quite a drive. Although, my friends got a little numb in our but areas. But, it was no different than a train ride. We then stopped somewhere. It was in front of a clothing store that was going out of business. It was having a sale, apparently.
"80% off of all clothing?!" asked Rarity. "Now that is a good deal."
"Hang on a second," said M.C. "We gotta get some cash before we go buy."
"It's true," said Twilight. "I'm guessing we can't buy clothes here with bits or diamonds."
"No, but we can trade them in for cash," I said. "Spike, snack pack."
Then Spike pulled out his bag of gems, and handed them to him. M.C. then took half of the diamonds, and then walked into a jewelry store that was next door. Mutt then leaned next to the door. We all stayed next to him, and waited for M.C. to come out. Then M.C. came out with green pieces of paper.
"We got forty-five grand for all of those gems," said M.C. "Forty-five thousand dollars."
"Wow," said Joshua. "That's a lot of money."
"Is that a good amount?" asked Rarity.
"Usually, it's about a huge amount," said Mutt.
"Now, how about we get into those clothes for you," said M.C. Then we all went into the boutique. And there, we saw that a lot of clothes were already sold. Hopefully, there were clothes in our sizes.
M.C. lead us to the cash register of the store. There, we saw five more Mobians. There was a blue hedgehog, a yellow-orange fox with two tails, a pink hedgehog in a red dress, a magenta hedgehog with pink hair and a stylish red and purple outfit with a golden belt, and a cream colored rabbit with orange spots and a white muzzle. And there was a cute little blue thing flying next to the rabbit.
"So, sis," said the blue hedgehog, "you're seriously relocating your shop?"
"That's right, bro," said the magenta hedgehog. "I'm just happy that you all came to help me pack up."
"No problem," said the two tailed fox. That was the fox that was in the file. Miles Prower. Also known as Tails. "We would be honored to help you. And today is your closing sale. You're going to need all the help you can get."
Then the magenta hedgehog looked towards us, and then she looked confused. She then asked, "Michael?"
Then the other five looked towards us, and saw us. More importantly, M.C. He grinned sheepishly, and chuckled. He then said, "Hello, Sonia."
"You're alive?!" asked the blue hedgehog.
"Of course I'm alive, Sonic," said M.C. "I've survived worse than that. Although, the time travel was a bit of an x-factor."
"Time travel?" asked Tails. "So, did you see Silver again?"
"No," said M.C. "It was way further than his time. We just came back from 10,000 years in the future."
"Ten thousand years?" asked the five of them.
"We have a lot to talk about," said M.C.
Basically, when Sonia was making us some clothes, M.C. and Mutt were catching up with the others. They weren't really buying it. We got to know them. It turns out that the pink hedgehog was named Amy Rose, and the rabbit was named Cream, and that little blue creature was a creature called a Chao, which was named Cheese.
"That is the craziest thing I have ever heard," said Sonic.
"You'd be surprised on what can be accomplished," said M.C. "Sonic, you and I are two of the Fast Five, the top five speedsters on Mobius."
"Fast Five?" asked Rainbow Dash."
"They're the five fastest runners or racers in the world," said Mutt. He then showed an image of the top five racers. M.C. and Sonic were on that list. Number five was a purple female cat with a red gem on her forehead. Number four was a green bird with a hover board. Number three, we already met at that place, Shadow the Hedgehog. Number two was M.C. And number one was Sonic.
"Wow," said Rainbow Dash. "You two are the top two runners and racers?"
"How did you get on the top five runners and racers?" asked Twilight.
"I actually believe them," said Sonia.
"Seriously, sis?" Sonic asked. "What makes you think their story is believable?"
"Sonia discovered that amulet that allows her to have new abilities," said M.C. "Telepathy, Empathy and Flight."
"And I was a little freaked out by her when I thought she was a love interest of Sonic," said Amy.
"How did you two meet?" asked Cadance.
Amy then rubbed the back of her head and started to explain.
"Wow," I said. "You get mad that easily?"
"That wasn't really mad," said M.C. "Sonia's just lucky she didn't see Amy's hammer."
"How bad is a hammer?" asked Applejack. "A hammer ain't so bad."
"It's bigger than your head," said M.C. "Show 'em."
Then Amy held out her right arm, and out of nowhere, a huge red and yellow hammer came out of nowhere, surprising all of us.
"That is one huge hammer!" said Pinkie Pie. "Where did that come from?!"
"You came out of the most unpredictable places where a pony your size can't fit, and you pop out of them like they were just a hole in the ground," said M.C. "And you're wondering where Amy's hammer came from?!"
"Touche," said Pinkie Pie.
"So, you're seriously relocating?" M.C. asked.
"Yes," said Sonia. "And I was hoping to get a flight from here to Bayside City."
"Bayside City?" asked Sonic. "I've been there before?"
"You were being chased by GUN and had a truck wreck the city," said M.C.
"They thought I was the one who did all of those crimes," said Sonic. "And that was when Shadow was the one responsible."
"It was hard for the two to be told apart when the light was dark," said Tails. "We knew that Sonic would never do crimes like that."
"So, what are you guys doing here?" asked M.C.
"We decided to help Sonia move," said Sonic. "Also, it was getting quite boring on this side of the country."
"So, we're thinking of heading to the other side, near where Sonia is relocating to," said Tails.
"We're just coming along for the adventure," said Amy. "Plus, I might as well stay where Sonic goes."
"My mom has decided to move over there as well," said Cream. "My older sister is there as well."
"I didn't know you had a sister," said Amy.
"Well, we thought she was just going to a private school on the other side of the country," said Cream.
"Turns out, she was a spy for an organization that, unknown to her, was evil, and when she found out, she took them all down," said M.C. "Now, she works for GUN and she resides in Bayside City."
"Let me guess," I said. "You all need a ride?"
"Well, we do have a lot of seats to fill," said M.C. "I guess we can have you come along for the ride."
"Sweet," said Sonic. "Although, I'm gonna head on ahead." Then he rushed out of the place.
"I just wish he could be able to slow down," said Sonia. "He is so reckless."
"You can't stop someone from being who they are," said M.C. "Now, are their clothes ready, Sonia?""
"Luckily, I got their clothes ready," said Sonia. Then she started spinning like a pink tornado, and then she spun around us. When she finished, I noticed what we were wearing. The outfit I was wearing, it's the same one I wore when I was in that other world when I went through that mirror, from the neck down. The only thing that's different was the gloves. I then looked at my friends and the Cutie Mark Crusaders. It was the same outfits their human counterparts wore the last time I seen them. Even Nyx wore that same outfit. Purple and black vest with a white shirt underneath, a turquoise skirt, and shoes similar to the ones she wore in the other world. Although, my brother was given a shirt that matched the one he wore on his wedding and my princess coronation. He even had the strap. Spike and Joshua were given jackets. Spike's being a lighter color of purple than his scales, and Joshua's being red.
"Wow," said Rarity. "These outfits are positively fabulous!"
"I do what I do," said Sonia. "Plus, I sorta... 'borrowed' a memory from one of your friends seeing these outfits before."
"You got that memory from Twilight, didn't you?" asked M.C.
"No!" said Sonia. "Joshua." Then she saw my parents and Cadance. "Oh, right." Then she started spinning around the three of them, and the three of them were clothed. Mom had a white shirt with purple long sleeves, and some pants with short legs. Not as short at shorts. And Dad had a green jacket. And Cadance had an ice blue dress with a belt with diamonds surrounding it. Basically, all of these outfits hat holes for our wings and tails.
"How are you able to do this?" I asked.
"Sonia knows fashion," came a voice. We looked back and saw Sonic standing there. "She's able to create any outfits on a whim."
"I thought you were going to meet us there?" I asked.
"Meh," said Sonic. "I got bored."
I chuckled at that and said, "You sound like Rainbow Dash for a sec."
Scootaloo laughed and said, "He totally did!"
Sonia packed up a lot of bags for all of our spare clothes. She then put two fingers on her head, and then most of us had a splitting headache. Joshua wasn't effected, and neither were the ones who were already Mobians. Just then, the stinging stopped.
"What was that?!" asked Applejack.
"Programming your minds so you'll be able to know how to do things," said Sonia. "Each of you are mentally programmed on how things work here. It would be helpful for all of you to know how things work." She then saw Guard Armor and Flurry Heart. She then put on a cute little shirt for Flurry Heart to wear. "Now, I know of a place where all of you can stay for the night, then tomorrow, we'll leave in the morning."
"Okay," said M.C. "Where to?"
"The Emerald Coast Hotel," said Sonia. "Anyway, all of this would cost you about $2000, but since there's a sale of 80% off, it'll be 400."
M.C. then payed her with a small amount of that money he got. We then took our stuff, and headed to the bus. When we turned around, Sonic, Sonia, Tails, Amy, Cream and Cheese came out, and then Sonia closed and locked the door. Then she said, "I'll meet you all at the hotel. I gotta turn in this key before the office closes."
Then Sonia left. We all then looked at M.C. and I asked, "So, M.C.? Mind giving us a tour of this place after we get to the hotel?"
"Sure," said M.C. "I can give ya a tour of Station Square. Might as well get caught up with things since the last time I was here."
(M.C.'s Point of View)
Well, we went all across Station Square for a tour. Although, the Cutie Mark Crusaders wondered what Twinkle Park was. Mutt explained to them that is was an amusement park. They wanted to go to that for one day before we head out. Well, the city declared that Twinkle Park would be open 24/7. So, we allowed them to have the rest of the day here. Although, we had to explain to the ponies that most Mobians are omnivores like humans. Joshua knew that because he was humans. But, it would seem that their changed biology had little changes to their diets. They can't consume plants or hay when they're Mobians, but they're still able to keep their metabolism strong with all the other things they eat.
Fluttershy was a little upset that we were consuming meat. I know she was a little worried when Princess Celestia gave us the okay to consume meat, but she was rather upset about it. But she'll have to get used to it while she's here.
Luckily, Twinkle Park had some vegetarian places in its food court for the ponies to have. Although, they were a little weirded out by what Sonic, Tails, Mutt and I had ordered.
"What are those?" asked Twilight.
"These are the greatest meaty treats mankind has ever created," said Sonic. "Chili dogs. Can't get enough of them."
"You eat dogs?!" asked Applejack.
"No way," said Mutt. "These things aren't really made out of dogs. You don't see me eating myself, do you?"
"I don't think hot dogs are really made of meat," I said. "They are pretty good, though."
"That's disturbing," said Rarity.
"Tell me about it," said Sonia. "The chili isn't really better."
"Why do you say that?" asked Rarity.
Then the sound of someone farting went off. All of the girls looked towards us. I got a whiff of it, and said, "Dude, Tails."
"Sorry," said Tails. "It's the chili. I can't help it."
"I hope the rest of you don't let out gas," said Rarity.
"Hey, it's better to burp it and taste it than fart it and waste it," I said. "Plus, I've held in all my flatulence for five years."
Then everyone looked at me, and then Shining Armor asked, "Are you saying that you haven't farted in five years?"
"Sometimes, the impossible can be achieved," I said.
Mutt then said, "I'm now afraid of staying in the same room as M.C. right now."
"I'm afraid to be sleeping in the same building," said Spike.
"Well, we better get some sleep soon," said Cadance. "Guard and Flurry are getting tired."
"Good call," said M.C. "Let's head to the hotel, and then we'll..." I was cut off by the smell of something. "Man. That was nasty. Sonic."
"Chili dogs do it all the time," said Sonic.
"Better check your fur when you use the bathroom, next," I said.
"Yeah, that sounds like a good idea," said Night Light. "So, some of you Mobians went to Joshua's world by accident?"
"Yep," said Tails. "Me, Sonic, Amy, Cream and Cheese, a bunch of other Mobians like Knuckles, Shadow, Rouge, Team Chaotix, a really big cat that was named Big, basically, a lot of Mobians that we didn't know."
"I was one of them," I said. "And that's where I met Joshua."
"It's true," said Joshua. "My birth parents accidentally ran him over when he was coming out of a baseball field."
"I used my Materiokinesis to be the other players," I said. "I was really lonely for years."
"At least you have good friends now," said Sonic.
"And we'll always be there for you if you're ever in need of a friend," said Twilight.
I smiled and then I checked the time. I then said, "Alright, everyone. It's already a quarter to 10. We should get to sleep. We got a long drive tomorrow."
We all then left Twinkle Park and headed for the hotel. Mutt and I shared a bedroom with Spike. Luckily he wasn't a flame snorer. And by that, I mean he doesn't blow fire when he snores. Hopefully, tomorrow will be a better day.
Chapter 2: Road Trip
(M.C.'s Point of View)
We all prepared to leave. It's gonna be a long drive from Station Square to Bayside City. Three days, four tops. And since we had five more passengers here, we had some more seats to fill. Sonic and Tails sat in 6-L and Sonia and Amy sat in 6-R. Cream asked is she and Cheese would be able to sit in row 3-R with Spike.
Before we left, we got breakfast. And, for some reason, Earth had some of the same restaurants that we had. IHOP, Denny's, Mel's Drive-In, Applebee's. It was weird for us who went there. We went to an IHOP, and basically, all of the ponies chose the meals that were vegetarian. We then left to get back on the open road. Sonia gave me directions to which hotel we're going to have to stop at for a good night's sleep.
We went past a lot of roadside attractions. Some only Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Twilight and the young kids would like to see. Of course, Sonic thought it would be a good idea to give them some souvenirs from those places. But it was a little annoying that he brought a bunch of paddle balls for the kids to enjoy.
"Could you all stop playing with those things?" I asked. "It's a bit distracting."
"Rule number one on the open road!" said Mutt. "Don't distract the driver!"
"Sorry, M.C.," said Sonic. "But, I just thought that the kids would like something they would enjoy. Plus, I checked the DVDs in that case. I saw a bunch of movies that seem okay, but I thought that they would like to watch something that might have a little more... excitement."
"What are you talking about?!" I asked. "What movie?"
Apparently, Sonic smuggled in an action movie. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. It was a little too much for some of them, but it was pretty awesome for some. Rainbow Dash, Scootaloo, Shining Armor and Joshua found it to be exciting. But, most of the rest thought it was a little too much.
"That... was... AWESOME!" shouted Rainbow Dash.
"It definitely was!" said Scootaloo. "Although, those weird sound effects blocking some words were a little annoying."
"They were blocking off words that kids shouldn't hear," I said.
"Oh, you mean swearing?" asked Fluttershy.
"Yes, I mean swearing," I said. "It's not okay to swear in front of a child, or else they would repeat it. It's not cool to swear in front of children. I'm guessing that Alex installed that program into the DVD player."
"Good call," said Amy. "There are some things not even kids should hear."
"Thank you, Amy," said M.C. I continued driving until I heard someone whimpering. It was Sweetie Belle. "Is something wrong, Sweetie Belle?"
"I need to pee," she said.
"There's a toilet in the back," I told her. I looked back and saw her getting out of her seat, and slowly walking towards the toilet in the back. She was just about out of her row, but she nearly tripped, but Sonic caught her.
"You okay?" Sonic asked.
"I'm fine," said Sweetie Belle. But then she groaned, and then Sonic rushed her towards the bathroom so she could go. Luckily, Sonia programmed her mind on how to use that kind of restroom.
"Sorry about that!" I called out. "Potholes. You know how those are."
"Yeah, potholes are annoying for people who are driving," said Sonia. "It's hard to get them fixed."
"Hey, is anyone else wanting a snack?" I asked. Then everyone raised their hands.
Sonic knocked on the door and said, "Yo, kid. You wanting a snack?"
"Yeah," said Sweetie Belle. "I am craving a snack."
I decided to pull into a gas station, not just for snacks, but I needed to fill the gas tank. I handed Sonia some cash to get them some snacks and drinks while I went to the gas. The gas would cost about 80 bucks. We then got on the road after they all got snacks.
(Joshua's Point of View)
I was looking in the drink section of the gas station. I didn't have some of these drinks ever since I had been sent to Equestria. I just grabbed a bottle of Sprite. I missed the taste of Sprite. Equestria did have a soda brand with a lemon lime drink, but it didn't taste the same. I grabbed a one liter bottle of it.
"Good call," came a voice. I turned around and saw Sonic. "You'll want to keep yourself thirsty for a long drive. Anyway, is it true you came from Earth?"
"Yes," I said. "In fact, I was the only human who survived when Earth was destroyed. My... my mommy and daddy saved me before they were..." I couldn't help but start to cry.
"I know," said Sonic. "It must be hard for you to not see your family again. But, at least they're with you..." He then grabbed my locket, and opened up the photo. "...in here. And in here." He then pointed at my forehead. Then he pointed at my heart. "And in here."
I smiled up at him and said, "Thank you, Sonic."
"I should've known you would know my name," said Sonic. "Since I've been to your world before."
"Yeah," I said. "I'm... I'm gonna head up to the others."
"Okay, kid," said Sonic. "See you on the bus."
I then headed for the cash register area, waiting for the others. But then I bumped into Mommy. I looked up at her and said, "Sorry, Mommy."
"It's okay, Josh," said Mommy. She then took the drink I was holding out of my hands and looked at it. "Sprite?"
"It's my favorite drink," I said. "Before..."
"Oh," said Mommy. "Well, I guess it's okay. But this is a big bottle, don'tcha think?"
"It's a long drive," said Sonic. "As long as he doesn't drink too much at a time, he'll be fine." He came up to us.
"You seem to be a little... cocky," Mommy said to him.
"I was told I'm at my best when I'm cocky," said Sonic.
M.C. came up walking past us and said, "It's true. It's how he beat me in a race."
"Everyone has their own style," said Sonic. "We can't change who we are."
"So, how did the fast five came to be?" Mommy asked.
"It was the race where all the speed types come together to race in the biggest race on Mobius," Sonic said. "We were either allowed to have a hoverboard, or we chose to run. We were only allowed to use the path we were assigned to."
Then Mutt came up to us, and said, "It was my first time in that race. I might not have gotten into the Fast Five, but I was able to get 12 place."
"Well, that isn't so bad," said Mommy.
"One of them kept sabotaging me," said Mutt. "A real bully."
Then M.C. said, "That girl was around your age. And she wasn't a bully. She was picking on you because she likes you."
"Seriously?!" asked Mutt. "How come I wasn't taught that?!"
"There were so many signs of that on TV," said M.C.
"Like what?" asked Mutt.
"'Hey Arnold' for example," I said, giving Mutt an example.
Mutt then said, "Oh, yeah. Good example." Then he crossed his legs. "Be right back." Then Mutt rushed to the bathroom.
"It's also good to go before we get back on the road," said M.C. "We only have one bathroom on the bus. So, we might as well get some bathroom breaks."
"Good call," said Mommy. "We all better keep going."
We were almost to where we were going. Sonic brought in a bunch of action movies, luckily they weren't able to let us hear the bad words. It was a little boring watching the movie, "Avengers: Age of Ultron." But then something outside caught my attention.
Outside, I saw a weird vehicle with, what looks like there was no driver. I then saw a bunch more. Some of them were flying. I then called out, "Um, M.C. There's something outside. A lot of somethings."
M.C. then saw the vehicles in the mirrors and said, "Uh oh. Eggman."
"What?!" said Sonic. He then looked out the window. "Yep. Those are Eggman robots."
"Sonia! Take the wheel!" said M.C.
Sonia then got out of her seat, and ran towards the front of the bus, and she took the wheel, and Sonic and M.C. went out of the bus.
(M.C.'s Point of View)
Right as we're on the road, we're being attacked by Eggman and his robots. Sonic and I got off the bus, and then jumped on top of it. Sonic and I got into battle position.
"Look at what we got here," said Sonic. "A giant, flying egg."
Sonic and I saw Dr. Eggman in his Egg Mobile, flying into what looks like a battle machine.
"Behold!" said Dr. Eggman. "This new machine of mine is going to be your total destruction!"
"Is that a griffon?" Sonic asked, looking at the machine.
"Nah, I think it's a hippogriff," I said.
"You're both wrong!" said Eggman. "This is the machine of your destruction! The Egg Gargoyle!"
"Seriously?" I asked. "You couldn't pick anything more pathetic? Gargoyles are supposed to protect some creepy old buildings. And you should be able to know that."
"I'll show you the way you shall treat me!" said Eggman. "Prepare to be taken down!" Then he pushed a button, and a bunch of missiles and bullets came out, heading towards us. But then, time just slowed down so much, it looks like it's not moving at all.
"Really?" Sonic asked.
"Buses like these are expensive," I said. "Not one scratch should be on this bus."
Imagine this song was playing while Sonic and I were moving every bullet and missile out of the way of the bus, and destroying Eggman's machine.
We used Eggman's missiles, and implanted them into the arms of the Egg Gargoyle, slowly blowing up the machine's tech. Then Sonic rolled himself into a ball, and I spun around like a discus thrower, and threw him right under the places where the Egg Mobile connects to the Egg Gargoyle. Then I jumped on to the machine, grabbed the Egg Mobile, spun around like a counterclockwise spinning top, and threw the Egg Mobile, and Eggman away from us. Good thing we adjusted the direction of the bullets to hit the drones.
Time went back to normal, and all of the things went back to normal speed, making all of the robots and the Egg Gargoyle exploding at normal speed. Sonic rushed back onto the roof and high-fived me.
"That was awesome!" said Sonic.
"You're not the only one who just said that," I said.
(Twilight's Point of View)
I could barely see what just happened, but all of the robots surrounding us were blown up. I was amazed to see them being blown up.
"That... was... AWESOME!" shouted Rainbow Dash. "Those robots being blown up by those pieces of metal and mini rockets! And M.C. and Sonic tearing apart that machine with nothing but their wits and determination!"
Then Sonic and M.C. came back in, Sonic saying, "You saw all of that? You must be pretty fast yourself."
"I'm basically the fastest flyer in Equestria," said Rainbow Dash.
"Alright, Sonia," said M.C. "I'm taking back the wheel."
"On it," said Sonia. "Switching to coast for a few seconds."
Sonia then got out of the seat, and had M.C. take back the wheel. She then headed back down the rows. I then said, "You seemed to keep your cool under dangerous situations. How are you so brave?"
"Well, I can't basically tell you how I keep my cool," M.C. said. "But basically, I'm just trying to keep all of those who need help safe. It's when the people around you are in danger that gives you the confidence to protect them."
"Wow," said Twilight. "I never thought about it like that. I wish I could be as brave as you. You're basically fearless."
"Not entirely true," said M.C. "We're all afraid of something. Take it when you lost Joshua to Sombra the first time. He was scared when King Sombra before he was taken to that cave. You were scared that you would never see him again. But, you did what one in a thousand mothers would do. Do whatever legal thing to get your son back."
"He's got a point, Twylie," said Shining. "You would do anything to protect your friends and family. Even if you don't know what you're doing when you're doing it."
"True dat, dude!" said M.C.
I looked over at Nyx and Joshua behind me, and the two of them were talking about what has happened. I then turned around and said, "Yeah. I guess both of you are right. Then I looked ahead and said, "How long until we get there?"
"It'll be a few more hours," said M.C. "Although, it's time for a lunch break. Sonia, what's around here?"
"There's a Subway coming up," said Sonia. "Take this next exit."
Then we pulled off the highway for lunch at a restaurant called Subway, and we had a picnic like lunch. At least the weather was nice.
Author's Note
If you don't know why I had music put in music during the slow motion parts, here are some examples:
(X-Men: Days of Future Past)
Chapter 3: Bayside City
(Nyx's Point of View)
We had just arrived in the city known as Bayside City. When we went into a hotel, it would seem that the hotel manager had known that we were coming. I was about to ask him why he knew we were coming, but M.C. stopped me. I just hope when the next day comes.
I decided to take a bath. This tub was quite large. It was as large as the time I first given a bath by Twilight the night she found me. Although, back then, I was a quadruped and I had cuts all over my body due to the thorn bush I was found in.
The next day, we had a nice breakfast at the hotel. It was good, but then we decided to head out. Traffic here was crazy. I'm guessing it was this bad in Manehattan back in our time.
M.C. drove to where Sonia was setting up her shop. She, Sonic, Tails and Amy got off. Sonia then looked up at M.C. and said, "Okay. Just head for the mall, and you look for a place called Requiem Apartments. That's where Alex Lynol lives."
"Alright," said M.C. "Thanks." He then looked over to Cream and said, "You happy to see your sister again?"
"I am," said Cream.
"Alright then," said M.C. "Let's go."
He then started driving again, and we moved to a very tall building. We drove was looked like a place to park large vehicles. Of course, there was a gate that prevented us from entering. M.C. opened the window and a female voice answered it.
"Who is there? "
"I'm an old friend of Alex," said M.C. "May I ask who this is?"
"Olivia the Rabbit. But, I usually go by Olive. "
Cream the Rabbit just gasped and said, "That's my sister."
"Is that Cream?! " asked the voice coming from that box.
"Yep," said M.C.
"Alright, come on in. I'll meet you at the elevator, " said the voice. The gate then opened, and the bus pulled in. The bus stopped, and we got our stuff out of the buss.
We headed right towards some place in this room for vehicles, and found someone standing there. It looked like an older version of Cream. She had some orange, spiked hair with the tip of her hair dyed red. She was wearing a red, skintight suit with belts and a zipper, and a black pack around her waste. She had black and red gloves, red boots, and a cyber patch similar to Ava's, but instead of a yellow screen, it was red.
Cream and Cheese ran over to her and they hugged her. The older rabbit responded with, "Hey there, Cream." She then lifted Cream's head and said, "You're bigger the last time I saw you. Have you been getting fit?"
"I have," said Cream.
She then looked over at us and said, "And why have you come here to see Alex? He's not usually taken in requests."
"He was the one who called us," said M.C. "Alex Lynol can see all possible futures up to 72 hours."
"Okay," said the rabbit known as Olive. "We're gonna have a talk with Alex. Follow me." She then led us to some sliding metal doors. Olive put a weird plastic thing to a metal circle and the two doors opened. There was another room in there. "This elevator is meant for loading furniture or appliances up to a floor. This'll be useful to fit... almost all of us."
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"I know that M.C. is able to manipulate his own density," said Olive. "But, he's not going to fit in here."
"Good call," said Twilight. "What's an elevator?"
"It's a room that goes up to different floors," said Olive. "It's much easier than taking the stairs."
Then we all got in, leaving M.C. behind for him to take the stairs. As we got in, there was a beeping coming from Olive's headset.
"Looks like my prank on him is working," said Olive.
"You like to pull pranks?!" asked Pinkie Pie.
Olive turned to face her and said, "Yep. Super Speed proof stairs." She then showed an image of M.C. trying to run up the stairs, which was going down as fast as him.
"Super Speed proof stairs, huh? " asked M.C. "Try this. "
Then M.C. jumped on the wall, and climbed up the walls super fast.
"Oh, right," said Olive. "He has the wall crawling. And he's prank proof."
"Are you saying that M.C. hasn't been pranked once?" asked Rainbow Dash.
"I tried giving him a classic prank," said Mutt. "Whip Cream in the hand and the nose tickle trick. Totally backfired."
"He slammed the whip cream into your face?" asked Pinkie Pie.
"Worst April Fool's Day start ever," said Mutt.
"What's April Fool's Day?" asked Rainbow Dash.
"It's the first day of April," said Joshua. "Most people celebrate that day pranking people. Not exactly a holiday."
"Oh, but it's good fun," said Mutt.
Then the elevator stopped and outside, was a grumpy looking M.C., crossing his arms, smirking at Olive.
"You're a tier 6 out of 5 spy, which should be rankly impossible, and you waste your skills on trying to prank me?" asked M.C.
"Hey, I like to make some pleasurable moments with some new friends," said Olive. "Plus, I was getting bored today."
"That's pretty interesting," said Twilight. "It's like she's a spy version of Pinkie Pie."
Pinkie Pie was laughing and said, "She totally is!"
"Alright, now let's get you to meet Alex," said Olive.
She then escorted us to a door down the hall, and walked to one door, grabbing that same plastic thing, and put it against something under the door handle. That thing beeped, lit up a green light, and then Olive opened the door. Inside was a very large apartment.
"Wow," said Applejack. "This apartment is bigger and fancier than the apartment that my aunt and uncle orange had."
"And yet, it's been left in my name by my deceased grandfather," came a voice. We looked towards what looks like a four door refrigerator and behind it was an otter. It was the otter we were coming to see.
"You must be..." Twilight said.
"Alex Lynol," he said. "But my camping buddies in Archery Camp call me Midpoint, because I always hit my mark in the center. A pleasure to meet you, Princess Twilight Sparkle."
"How did you...?" asked Twilight. Then she got a realization. "Oh, that's right. We were told that you had the ability to see all possible futures."
"Yep," said Alex. "Why did you think I sent you that bus so you'll be able to get all the way here?"
"So, how are you able to afford a place like this?" Applejack asked.
"I took it in after my grandfather passed away," said Alex. "Along with his appliance company, "Shadow Appliances." Even though he turned me into an otter, I'm still living on his legacy."
"So, you were born human as well?" I asked.
"Yep," said Alex. "Although, if I stayed human, I would've died. I was shot by black alien stragglers on Space Colony ARK."
"What were you doing on a Space Colony?" Twilight asked.
"My grandpa and I were picking up one of his projects he left behind up there," said Alex.
"That would mean that your grandfather was one of the scientists that worked up there," said M.C. "So, what was it? The project you were getting?"
"Well," said Alex. "You might find this a surprise. I'm not the first human to become a Mobian."
"You're not?" asked Twilight. "Then, who is?"
"Once upon a time, there were some government agents that was shutting down the progress of what was going on in Space Colony ARK," said Alex. "They believed that Project: Shadow was a weapon that would destroy the world. A living weapon that was conjured up by black alien terrorists. But, they were only half right. Project: Shadow was created by one black alien, and one human. A man named Professor Gerald Robotnik."
"Robotnik?" asked Twilight. "Isn't that the name of the scientist that attacked us on the way here?"
"No, that was Julien Robotnik," said M.C. "Although, he is the grandson of Professor Gerald Robotnik. He also had his granddaughter living with him up there. She was sick with NIDS."
"Neuro-Immune Deficiency Syndrome," said Alex. "It was an incurable and fatal disease. But, that's not how she died."
"A human had a deadly disease, and she didn't die because of it?" Twilight asked. "Then, how did she die?"
"By one of these," said M.C., holding up a small piece of metal. "It's called a bullet. It's shot out of a weapon that shoots it over twice the speed of sound. That's what killed her."
"Or at least, it would have," said Alex. "My grandfather was hidden in a secret compartment in that room where Maria was shot, and Shadow was sent down here. That was over 50 years ago."
"Oh, so that's why you called Shadow 'old man,'" said Twilight.
"But how did he look so young?" asked Rarity.
"Did he have some moisturizer that makes him look younger?" asked Twilight Velvet.
"No," said Alex. "Suspended Animation. It's kinda like time travel, but he went the long way. Anyway, after the government agent left that room, my grandfather grabbed Maria, and took him to a secret lab that only him and Professor Robotnik knew about. But Professor Robotnik had no idea what my grandfather was doing."
"What happened?" asked Fluttershy.
"See for yourself," said Alex, pointing towards the staircase.
Coming down the stairs was a blonde hedgehog in a blue dress, similar to Amy's, with a red heart on where the heart on bipedal creature is. She also had on blue boots, a blue hairband behind her ears, and gloves like Shadow's, except those things on it weren't red, but blue.
"Are you...?" I asked. "Are you that girl from the story?"
"I am," she said. "My name is Maria. Maria Robotnik."
"My grandfather saved her," said Alex. "In order for her to keep living, she had to lose her humanity. She doesn't have the NIDS anymore, but she did gain the same abilities as Shadow the Hedgehog. Not as powerful as the real thing, but she has them. But she also has something that keeps her from coming home without a scratch."
"A healing factor like M.C.?" asked Mutt.
"Indeed," said Alex. "Along with an immunity to deadly diseases."
"Did she use any of those abilities?" asked Princess Cadance.
"Only speed and Chaos Control she can control," said Alex. "She doesn't want to use the other abilities because she fears that she could hurt people. But... there was a glitch to her abilities. They can be activated by a mama bear instinct."
"Kinda like when Fluttershy sees an innocent creature in trouble, and she stares it down with her stare," said Twilight. I could see Fluttershy blush at that.
"Well, it's a little different," said Alex. "Her eyes go from blue to red when it happens."
"I don't really like it when that happens," said Maria. "It just happens when I see something bad happens. Like a gang of bank robbers, or a psychotic murderer. I just can't help it."
Fluttershy then walked up to her and said, "Well, I'll tell you this. You're only focused on the bad things that happens. But think about the good things that happens."
Maria then started remembering everything that happened. And thought about the good things. She smiled and said, "I guess I never thought about that. I'm still a little weirded out by these outfits."
"Suspended animation after the transformation," said Alex. He then pulled out an old magazine and gave it to Rarity. "Here's a fashion magazine from 50 years ago."
"Wow," said Rarity. "These designs are... a little..."
"Outdated," said Alex. "It was Sonia who gave me that magazine last week when she first met Maria."
"Sonia did?" asked Rarity. "I guess this is mighty generous of her."
"Wow," said Cadance. "So far, we've seen a lot of Mobians here, but so far, it's like there are some Mobians that act like Twilight's friends. Sonia's generous, Maria's kind, and that Olive girl tries making us laugh."
"I gotta do something to keep myself entertained," said Olive. "I won last year's prank war."
"That's generosity, kindness and laughter," said Twilight. "But who would have Honesty, Loyalty and Magic?"
"I think Loyalty would go to Mutt," said Rainbow Dash. "He's been following M.C. ever since that day M.C. saved him from the fire that night."
"Alex is the one who is honest," said M.C. "He's never lied. His grandfather, on his mom's side, was in the war 55 years ago. He went by a code."
"There ain't no honor if their ain't no honesty," said Alex. "Grandpa Arnold was a good military man."
"Wow," said Applejack. "Ya must be an honorable feller, ain'tcha?"
"Indeed," said Alex. "There are a lot of things my grandfather told me in his stories. In fact, Grandpa Arnold helped me with a history project when I was in high school. And I was six years old. I'm incredibly smart."
Rainbow Dash groaned and said, "This guy sounds like a real egg..."
M.C. then covered up her mouth and said, "You do not want to finish that sentence."
"Why not?" asked Joshua.
"There are a lot of people who aren't bothered by being called an egghead," said M.C. "Alex is not one of those people."
"M.C. called Alex an egghead, he was punched to the moon," said Mutt. "Not kidding."
"I still have the punch mark under my fur," said M.C. He then removed his hands from Rainbow Dash's mouth.
"Now I'm scared of even saying that word," said Rainbow Dash.
"Okay," said Twilight. "There's Honesty, Kindness, Laughter, Generosity and Loyalty. There's only one more."
"A long time ago, there were six mighty warriors who gave off aspects..." said Alex. "...aspects similar to the Elements of Harmony. The strong and genius marksman of Honor . The beautiful telepath of Heart . The skillful bringer of Pleasure . The caring healer of Grace . The following companion of Reliability . And the the great dragon warrior of Power . These six warriors came together to stop a dark bringer that might destroy the planet."
"I've heard that legend," said M.C. "It was in this book that explains my family's history. And that great dragon warrior... he wasn't really a dragon. He was one of my ancestors." He then pulled out a huge book. It looks like it was six inches thick."
"WHOA!!" said the other ponies.
"That... is the biggest... book... I have ever seen," said Twilight. "How did you fit that in your fur?"
"I'm sure get a lot of answers soon," said Alex. "But, how about now, we go on a tour of the city?"
"I think that would be good," said Twilight. "But, what about these plans for the Time Machine."
"Right," said Alex. "Follow me."
We then followed Alex up the stairs to the third floor of the apartment. I didn't even know apartments had their own floors. We went into a room with a solid steel door. Then Alex put his right hand onto a scanner, and his eyes into another scanner, and said, "Lynol."
"Welcome, Midpoint ," said a voice. Then the door opened, revealing what looks like a lab.
"WHOA!" said Nyx. "This is amazing!"
"It almost looks like the lab my parents had," said Joshua. "Except, it was in the basement, not the attic."
"Well, I own whole apartment," said Alex. "Plus, whenever there's an elevator problem, I'm the one who fixes it." Then we looked over at a machine that was halfway finished. It looks like a platform of some kind.
"What is that?" I asked, pointing a finger at it.
"That's the time machine I'm working on," said Alex. "It's called the Quantum Jump."
"Quantum Jump?" asked M.C. "Is it similar to that Quantum Tunnel in Avengers: Endgame?"
"Yep," said Alex. "But, we'll get it finished when the power source is finished."
"How long until then?" Twilight asked.
"Three months," said Alex.
"But, what are we going to do until then?" I asked.
"Well, we got some time," said Alex. "Now, how about I show you to your rooms? I've already got the rooms set up for you all. Although, you all have to share rooms."
"I guess we can do that," said Twilight. "After all, I did share a room with Spike." She then paused. "And Nyx." Another pause. "And Joshua." Another pause. "Before we got that new castle."
"I've already placed pictures on the rooms where you all will be sleeping," said Alex. "There are pieces of paper that'll show you which room you are in. On the second floor, the rooms to be shared are: Applejack and Apple Bloom, Rarity and Sweetie Belle, Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo, and Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy. Maria will show you the rooms when she comes up. There are also some bathrooms."
"The rest of you are on the floor above them," said Olive. "Although, there are two rooms where four must share."
"One room," said Alex, "Twilight Sparkle, Spike, Nyx and Joshua. Another; Shining Armor, Cadance, Guard and Flurry Heart." That made Flurry Heart giggle. "One room will be for M.C. and Mutt. The last room will be for Twilight Velvet and Night Light. Now, everyone, head to your assigned rooms, and put your stuff there."
We all nodded. We got our bags, and headed up the room where we were assigned to stay. In the room we were staying at, there was one bed and a weird bunk bed that is cornered.
"Whoa!" said Joshua. "A bunk bed for three. I call top bunk."
He then headed for one of the top bunks, on the left side. I decided to go on the top bunk on the right.
"I guess I'll have the bottom bunk," said Spike. I then put my bag down next to the bed, took off my shoes, and climbed up onto the bunk.
I looked over at Twilight and said, "This might be an interesting stay."
"I hope you're right, Nyx," said Twilight. "I just hope that we can get home."
"I'll make sure of it," came M.C.'s voice. We looked and saw him in the doorway. "Alex is a genius. He'll get us through it and we'll make sure that we're all back home, safe and sound."
"I hope so," said Twilight. "I just hope that we can get back home before Starlight starts to worry."
We all looked out the window. Joshua then spoke up and said, "This place reminds me a lot of San Francisco."
"It actually does look like San Francisco," said M.C.
"What's San Francisco?" asked Twilight.
"It's a city on Earth," said M.C. "Joshua actually lived in Oakland, which is a bridge across from San Francisco."
"It's true," said Joshua.
"Well, I hope that we can get to know this place as long as we're here," said Twilight. "So much to study."
Then M.C. said, "We're going out to eat for dinner. There's a nice diner just around the corner. Just to let you know ahead."
"That sounds good," said Twilight. "We'll just stick to the vegetarian foods."
"Good call," said M.C. "Josh might help you explain. But, how about today, we go see a movie that's in theaters?"
"Sounds like fun," I said. "What movie are we going to see?"
"We'll have to see what's in theaters," said M.C. "I'll see what's the least rated movie in theaters."
M.C. then walked out of the room. We then followed him. We came to the living room, seeing Alex looking for some movies for us to see in theaters.
"Looks like they're playing a classic Disney Movie in theaters," said Alex. "101 Dalmatians."
"Cartoon or Glenn Close?" asked M.C.
"Cartoon," said Alex.
"Book it," said M.C. "That should make Fluttershy go crazy for them."
"Hopefully," said Alex, putting on a mask over his eyes. "I just hope she won't want to try and grab one from the screen."
"What's with that mask?" I asked. "Is it something to keep you from being a spoiler."
"I always wear this mask to the movies," said Alex. "I have made this mask not to tell people what's going to happen. It took me multiple tries, but I got this mask made to temporarily block my precognition."
We all nodded, and then everyone came down, and we headed out. Hopefully, this classic movie might be fun to watch.
Chapter 5: Disney World on Mobius
Chapter 5: Disney World on Mobius
(Twilight's Point of View)
We started off the day like any other. Except we were in M.C.'s original time. Alex has the time machine built, but it's no good without the power source. I was wondering, why didn't we would use that Chaos Emerald that Joshua found to power the machine. Turns out, the Time Machine would drain the Chaos Emerald completely.
So, that was a bust. Anyway, we all were in the... extremely large dining room for something. Alex said that it'll take time for the power source for the Time Machine to be finished, so he wanted to take us all on a vacation somewhere, and it seems that M.C. was in on it, too. It's strange. Although, a lot of this world is similar to Joshua's home world.
"So, what kind of vacation are we going on?" I asked.
"Well, I hope it has a spa someplace close," said Rarity.
"It actually does, Rarity," said Alex. "But, this place has a lot of things for us to do." He then handed M.C. a letter. "That's your new Driver's License."
M.C. took the letter, and opened it up. Inside, he brought out a card. He said, "Good. I'm gonna need this. Who all is coming? Besides us?" He waved a finger, indicating all of us.
"Sonia, Sonic, Tails, Amy, Cream and Cheese, Olive, Maria, and... my dad," said Alex.
"Your dad?" M.C. asked. "It's been a long time since I seen your dad's handsome face."
"How handsome is he?" I asked. Then there was a knocking on the door.
"That's him right now," said Alex. He then walked over to the door, and in came... a tall, handsome, human. He really did look handsome.
"Hey, Alex," said the man. "I see you've been doing fine."
"That's your father?!" asked Rarity. "He looks really... handsome. I never seen a man so handsome."
"Well, I haven't always been this handsome," said the man. "When I was a kid I was F-A-T."
"Wow," said Rainbow Dash. "You certainly got rid of all of that, didn't you? What did you do to get fit?"
"Basically, I was a runner," said the man.
"My dad started eating less, running more, and even tried out for the track team in high school," said Alex. "My dad, Bruce Lynol, was teased a lot, and the guys on the track team thought he would never get on the track team. So, he raced against all of the track team members at the 400 meter hurdle race."
"Not only did I beat them, but I also broke the world record by two-tenths of a second," said Bruce. "I got a scholarship to the college of my dreams, and basically, I met the woman of my dreams. Too bad... she didn't make it to help me raise Alex."
"Mom died giving birth to me," Alex said. "Dad promised her that he would do whatever it takes to raise me right. Even if he had to come here with some help from Grandpa."
"Terrence was a good man," said Maria.
"Anyway, where are we going?" asked Twilight. "Where's our vacation going to be?"
"Well, just to let you know," said Alex, "since we have a world similar to Joshua's world, we have a lot of things in common with Earth when some of the Mobians ended up there. We have a lot of things in common with Earth. Including most of the amusement parks."
"Joshua?" asked M.C. "Before I came to Earth, or after I left, did your family take you to Disneyland?"
"No," said Joshua. "My parents thought of that idea. Before you came along. But, guess we could never get that chance because they were too busy with making that portal." Then his eyes brightened and said, "Wait. Are you saying that we're going to this world's version of Disneyland?"
"No," said M.C. He then chuckled. "We're going to this world's Disney World."
"Disney World?!" asked Joshua. "Cool!"
"What's Disneyland and Disney World?" I asked.
"I believe that you have a pony version of Disneyland," said M.C. "I believed it was called Whinny Land."
"WHINNY LAND?!" my friends and I exclaimed.
"I haven't been there in years!" said Twilight. "I was too busy with my studies to go back there. The last time I was there, I was just about Joshua's age. Before I got my Cutie Mark. I was with my parents and brother. I was about to check out the history part of the creator of the park until I accidentally bumped into a white coated filly with a purple, curly mane."
"Wait a minute," I said. "Let's see what happened." I then pulled out the Reality Stone, and handed it to me. "Focus on that memory, and it'll show us what happened."
I then remembered that moment. We all saw the memory of me and my parents and brother heading into the theater, but a white pony bumped into me. That pony was a filly...
"Rarity?!" most of us asked, seeing the memory.
"I am so sorry about that," said the filly Rarity in the memory. "I wasn't paying attention to where I was going."
"I get it," said the filly Twilight. "Guess there are some things that interest us all."
Then the memory stopped. I looked over at Rarity and said, "Guess it's been a while since that moment. I should've recognized you that day before the Summer Sun Celebration."
"I guess," said Rarity. "I hope that this Disney World is a lot like Whinny Land. And it has a little bit more fun."
"So, what hotels are we going to stay at?" asked Mutt.
"We're actually taking some RV Campers," said M.C. "Alex gave me a new camper for me to haul with my truck."
"That camper was getting worn out," said Mutt. "Whatcha got?"
"A Forest River Wildwood Heritage 356QB," said M.C. "It has two bathrooms with bathtubs. Although, we're going to have to split up in different rides. We made a list of who goes in what ride. Sparkles, Mutt, Nyx and Joshua are with me."
"With me and my dad are the rest of the Sparkle Family, and Maria," said Alex.
"Coming with me are my sister, the Cutie Mark Crusaders, and the rest of Twilight's friends," said Olive. "Fluttershy will be up front with me."
"And the rest are going with Sonia in a RV," said Alex. "The rest of them will be joining us tomorrow. We'll leave at 6 AM tomorrow. I've already set an alarm for all of us to get up at a quarter past five."
"Wow," said Twilight. "You prepared for this."
"I didn't think there would be anyone else than Twilight to plan a vacation," said Shining.
"Like my dad always said," said Alex. "Prepare the trip before you take it. Since I already saw you guys coming, I planned this, and made the Time Machine plans. It's gonna be a long drive."
"Why don't we just fly there?" asked Mutt. "It's much faster."
"I already saw that future," said Alex. "Shining Armor gets air sick."
"I do not!" said Shining Armor. I then giggled at the last time we took a flight.
"We took my private jet, and you threw up on the babies, tomorrow," I told him. "Even the air sickness pills didn't help."
That made my friends and I laugh. Shining Armor blushed in embarrassment. It might take as long a drive from Station Square to here, but it would be worth it.
Well, we started off on our journey across the country for that Disney World. Alex even knew that Sonic and Sonia invited their other brother, Manic, who looks like a green punk, to our vacation. We were seeing a lot of tourist stuff along the way.
We went across the country, getting some fun things done. We were enjoying all of the things we begin to pass. It was fun seeing all of the things we passed. This was much better than when we were driving from Station Square to Bayside City. Most of us got some pictures of what we were doing.
It took us more time to get to the resort, but we were taken to an RV Park that was there. Luckily, we were in the same section, and right across from each other.
We eventually made it to Disney World. Joshua seemed excited about this place. Guess he always wanted to come here. On his world not in our world. Joshua seems to be really excited.
"So, Joshua," I asked him. "Are you excited?"
"I really am!" said Joshua. "This might be the best vacation I ever had." He then sighed. "I sure wish my birth parents were here with me."
I hugged him and said, "I know. But, it's not possible. They might be dead, but they'll always be with you, in here." I then, leaned back, and pointed at his heart. He then smiled and hugged me, tight. I returned the hug.
M.C. passed us and said, "Technically, they're not gone. Here, they're not born yet."
I then thought about that, and said, "Oh, yeah. I guess that's true."
"Anyway, c'mon," I told her. "We're having dinner at P&J's Takeout. Luckily, they got tables for us."
We all got up, and headed for the place where we were eating. This place is a bit cozy. Applejack and Apple Bloom seem to like it because it has an Appleloosan theme to it. Since this place has a lot of meat eaters, we ordered some pizzas. Some with cheese, some with vegetarian toppings, and the others had some meat for their own. A lot of the other people in the restaurant came over to our table for some pictures with Sonic, M.C. and the other Mobian heroes. Some wanted an autograph. Mostly from M.C. being the Ultimate Avenger.
Do you mind? I'm trying to tell my part in the story from my point of view.
Anyway, we had a good dinner, and the kids had some fun at a nearby arcade. Joshua explained how these things worked. It was really fun for everyone. I'm pretty sure Sonic pretended to be a ball for a game, and he used his feet to get an unfair high score. Rainbow Dash thought it was hilarious.
Tomorrow was going to be the start of an amazing day for all of us.
(M.C.'s Point of View)
I woke up early. I had an alarm set on my glove, but I put it on vibrate so it won't wake the others. I had to share one of the rooms on the camper I had with Mutt, Nyx and Joshua.
I looked around at the three of them, which were on the other side of the room across from me, and I decided to sneak out of the room as quietly as I could. I put my shoes on, and head into the second bathroom, which was on the very back of the camper, and headed out the back door, which is also in the bathroom. I was going to get some supplies for a big breakfast for everyone, and to my surprise, there was Alex, Applejack, Apple Bloom, and Manic.
"Whoa," I said. "I didn't take you two for early risers." Just to be clear, I was talking to Alex and Manic. "You two, I would expect."
"Yeah," Applejack said. "Mah family get up early for some chores on the farm. Apple Bloom and Ah get some trees bucked before Applejack has ta get ta school."
"Getting some breakfast supplies from the Trading Post, huh?" asked Alex. I nodded. "I'll buy it all. Good thing we got some to help us get the supplies."
"Indeed," said Manic, putting his arm on my shoulder. "This will be a lot for us to carry."
"Yep," I told him. Then I reached out my right hand and said, "Now, give me back my wallet." He then handed me my wallet.
"How do you do that?" asked Manic.
"You got your secrets, I got mine," I told him. "What else could I expect from a guy who was raised by street rats?"
That made Alex laugh.
"What's a street rat?" asked Apple Bloom.
"Homeless people who do whatever it takes to survive," said Alex. "We'll watch the movie Aladdin when we get back here tonight."
"It's actually a good movie," said Manic. "Which one are you talking about? The animated one with Robin Williams, or the live action one with Will Smith?"
"Just wait and see," said Alex. "Now. Let's head to the Trading Post." Then the five of us headed for the Trading Post. We got a lot of pancake mix, eggs, and potatoes for everyone to enjoy. The potatoes are for the hash browns, which I cut with my claws. Don't worry. I always wash my claws before I use them for cooking purposes.
Alex and Applejack worked on the pancakes on the barbecue, and Manic was cooking the eggs. The others started coming out. Luckily, the guys who own this place allowed us to have a huge picnic table for a group our size. Joshua enjoyed the pancakes. I know he loves them when he has them for breakfast. Alex actually knew how many pancakes that should be made because of his precognition. There was no pancakes left. What can we expect? We're staying here for at least a week and a half. That should get all of them some fun times here.
Hopefully, Joshua will have a fun time here. He deserves this after the destruction of Earth, that won't happen until ten thousand years in the future. He really needs it.
Chapter 6: Bullies in Disney Springs
Chapter 6: Bullies in Disney Springs
(Nyx's Point of View)
Well, these past few days here have been eventful. Day one, we started at what they called the magic kingdom. Although, there wasn't much magic here. We had a lot of fun there. Although, it was funny to see Rarity come out of Splash Mountain all soaked up. So that's why we had some ponchos in our fanny packs.
Day two, we went to the animal kingdom. Fluttershy really enjoyed all of the animals there. She even understood them, and they understood her. Fluttershy was a little bummed out that animals were locked up, but at least they had some elbow room. Plus, they're happy to be fed by the employees of the park.
Day three, we went to Disney's Hollywood Studios. It was basically a movie themed park of all Disney Movies. Although, we were freaked out by that one ride, the Hollywood Tower of Terror. It was really freaky. Rainbow Dash thought it was awesome and Pinkie Pie wanted to go again.
Day four... Well it explains why we were wearing swimsuits all day. It turns out that this place also had a water park. It was really fun for all of us to get wet. Most of us was having fun on the water slides and the wave pool. Sonic, on the other hand, refused to even get in the water. I wondered why he was... until Flurry Heart thought it would be fun to throw him into the wave pool. Luckily, he was on the shallow side.
Rainbow Dash was laughing at Sonic. So, he's the fastest creature alive, but he can't swim? That doesn't make any sense. Anyway, today, we decided to have a bit of a shopping day. Getting some souvenirs. Sonic and Tails offered to watch Mutt, Joshua, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, Cream and Cheese, and me. I wonder if we would be able to bring back all of the souvenirs when we go back to the future. Wait a minute, was that one of the movies we watched on the way to Bayside City?
Anyway, we started off by going bowling at a place called Splitsville Luxury Lanes. It was really weird bowling like a human would. Joshua and Tails taught us how to bowl like a bipedal. Right before we started, Grandpa Night Light and Grandma Velvet came in just in time for us to get into our lanes. Grandpa Night Light said that he and Grandma Velvet were on a bowling team in Canterlot. Of course, they weren't allowed to use magic.
Joshua was still good at bowling, no matter if he was a human or a pony. Although, before he came along, we wondered what those holes in the ball were for. But we had a good time here. Joshua actually did better at bowling then the last time we bowled. Joshua almost got a perfect score in bowling, giving him an average of 280.
We walked out of the bowling alley, and Grandpa Night Light was talking to him.
"You actually did better than I did," said Grandpa Night Light. "Maybe when you're older, you should join the Canterlot Bowling Team."
"I'll have to think about it," Joshua said to him. "But right now, I wanna enjoy my childhood. M.C. didn't have much of a childhood to enjoy when he was a kid. He says for me to keep being a kid as long as I can be."
"He's got a point," said Grandma Velvet. "Enjoy your foalhood as much as you can."
Sonic came up and said, "Yeah. Enjoy your childhood as much as you can."
"Indeed," I said. "When I became Nightmare Moon, I actually missed being a filly. Hanging out with my friends. Playing with them. Having sleepovers. Spending time with Twilight. All I can say is being a grown up sucks."
"That was until the three of us sneaked into that castle to remind her who she really is," said Apple Bloom.
"Until we got caught by Spell Nexus," said Scootaloo.
"But it wasn't his fault that he was trying to force evil thoughts into Nyx's mind," said Sweetie Belle. "It was the corrupting darkness controlling him."
"At least we don't have to worry about that anymore," I said. "Princess Luna took away all the power and I got to enjoy the life I started as. And nopony is going to take that away from me."
"Well, we'll catch you all later," said Night Light. "See you later."
We then headed off somewhere. It was an arcade with prizes. The others were excited to see a bunch of prizes there. We decided to go play on them. It was more fun than the arcade at the RV Park. We enjoyed all of the things there. We were aiming for a huge prize to be put in the clubhouse. We would have to wait until we earned enough tickets for the prize.
We just about gotten about 200 tickets under what we were getting, but if we could get the bonus on one game, we would totally get it. Right before we were about to play one last game, some boys pushed us away, and took away the card that held our tickets.
"Thanks for the tickets, girls," said one of them. "Let's go, boys."
"Those are our tickets!" I shouted at them.
"Not anymore," said the bully. "Craig, Earl, let's go."
"Yes, Brad!" said the two bullies.
Then Sonic came up to us and asked, "What happened?"
"Those three bullies just took our ticket card," said Apple Bloom.
Then Sonic rushed up to them and came back with the card. "Just to make sure, let's see if these are your tickets." He then came up to something, and it detected how many tickets are on there. They were indeed our tickets.
"Yep, that's it," I said.
"HEY!" came the voice of Brad, the bully. "That's my ticket card."
"Really?" asked Sonic. "Because these girls said you stole it."
"And I got it all on video," said Mutt. He then held out his left hand, and showed the video footage of those bullies taking our ticket card. "Don't ever mess with us."
"Why you little..." Brad was about to punch Mutt, but his arm was grabbed. By M.C.
"Why are you about to punch my little companion and his friends?" M.C. asked him.
"Uhh... Uhh..." said Brad nervously. Then he gave an angry expression and said, "Wait. Nice try, loser. You think you can just walk in and pretend to be the Ultimate Avenger? You got one thing coming." He then punched M.C. in the face.
"Oh, you probably shouldn't have done that," said M.C. He then grabbed Brad's shirt, lifted him up into the air, and then dropped him
"Oof!" said Brad after he landed on the ground. Then M.C. grabbed Brad's right arm with his left arm, and dragged him towards the prize area, where a worker saw him coming.
"Excuse me, ma'am," said M.C., "but this kid has been stirring up trouble. I just saw him and two of his buddies take the ticket card of those kids over there." He pointed towards us. Sonic and Tails pushed the two bullies that were with Brad over to us. "These two are with him."
"Of course, your highness," said the prize giver. "I'll make sure these three boys never get in here again." She then looked at Brad and said, "Lesley Bradley Sullivan, what have I told you about taking other people's tickets?!"
"But, mom!" said Brad.
The rest of us laughed. M.C. walked over to us and asked, "His name is Lesley?"
"I didn't know Lesley was a boy's name," said Tails. That made us laugh harder.
"It ain't," said "Brad".
"This is the third and final time," said Mrs. Sullivan. "I told you. If you get caught one last time on taking someone's tickets, you're going to military school."
"WHAT?!" asked "Brad". "But Mom!"
"No buts, Brad," said Mrs. Sullivan. "Now, march on home, and pack your bags. We're going there tomorrow."
"Oh, c'mon!" said "Brad". "But this guy is pretending to be the Ultimate Avenger."
M.C. then held up a holographic image of a newspaper and the head title was, "The Ultimate Avenger Returns." M.C. then said, "This was a newspaper from last week."
"WHAT?!" shouted "Brad". "Impossible! He's supposed to be dead!"
"There's a difference between a wormhole and a black hole," Tails said.
M.C. then tossed him over the counter, and looked towards us. "Go on, kids. Play your games, and have some fun."
Then we all went back to the games we actually got the prize for our clubhouse. We basically got a sweet record player for our own records to play at the clubhouse. When we got it, M.C. took it back to the RV camper we were in. Basically, we got a lot of things here. Best vacation ever.
It'll be a few more days until we're done with this vacation, and we'll be back to Bayside City, and we'll be closer to getting back to the future.
Chapter 7: Eggmanland 2.0
Chapter 7: Eggmanland 2.0
(Twilight's Point of View)
It took us a while, but we got back to the apartment we were staying at. We were patiently waiting for Alex to finish up the power source for the Time Machine. He split the power source into two individual orbs for the Time Machines. Yes, I said Machines. Plural. Alex made two time machines that'll make us want to come back if we want to. Of course, it would have to be mine or M.C.'s permission for anyone else to do it.
We came to the lab in Alex's home for the time machines to be built. He was just about finished wit them.
"Alright," said Alex. "The Power Source is complete." He then brought out two orbs glowing in an intense blue light. "Now, all we have to do is to keep Eggman from taking them."
"Wait, what?" M.C. asked.
Then there was an explosion in the ceiling, and we all looked up. Out of the smoke came two mechanical arms, and they grabbed the power source out of Alex's hands.
"HEY!" I yelled.
"Thanks for the power source!" came Eggman's voice. "This'll be the power source to your own demise, and the key for me to rule this world in my own Eggman Empire! Mwahahahahaha!!!"
"You're going to regret that, you Repulsive Robot Overlord!" said M.C. That last comment made a bunch of us laugh.
"I get it," said Rainbow Dash. "He's repulsive looking!"
"And he has a bunch of robots with him!" said Sonic. "That also makes sense!"
"ENOUGH!" shouted Dr. Eggman. "Prepare for your own demise!" He then flew off in his machine.
"Oh, no you don't!" said Rainbow Dash, but Alex grabbed her by her tail.
"Oh, no!" said Alex. "This guy's outta your league. We gotta think smart about this."
"Lemme go!" shouted Rainbow Dash.
"Eggman always has drones protecting him when he travels," said M.C. "We'll wait an hour, and then plan what he has for us."
"Actually, he's got a point," I said. "We need to think ahead before we do. Like that time you took a potion I was working on and destroyed half of Ponyville before Nyx came to existence."
"Okay, okay," said Rainbow Dash. "The Double Rainboom was a little too much."
"Double Rainboom?" asked Mutt. "What, is it like breaking the sound barrier twice?"
"Yeah," said Rainbow Dash. "And I'm still having nightmares about that once a month."
"Alright," said M.C., "where is Eggman heading?"
Alex showed us a holographic map of the planet, and zoomed in on one specific spot in the ocean. Red circles came from an island that was there. This was the list of all who was in the room. Me, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy, M.C., Mutt, Alex, Sonia, Olive, Maria, Sonic and Tails.
"There's where Eggman's base is," said Alex. "His base looks like a creepy amusement park of doom."
"Oh, great," said Sonic. "The Eggmanland Project again."
"Can that guy get anymore creepy?" asked Rarity.
"Wait until you see his mother," said M.C. "Eggman gets his mustache from her."
"Wait, what?" asked my friends and I. Alex then showed us a picture of Eggman's mother. "Gah!!"
"That's a woman?!" asked Rainbow Dash.
"That is the ugliest thing I have ever seen!" said Pinkie Pie. Her face then turned green and was about to throw up. Olive pulled up a trash can, and slid it over to Pinkie. She then took it in her hands, and threw up in it.
"I feel bad for the father having to look at her all the time," said Applejack.
"Just be glad that Eggman's mom wasn't on Maria's side of the family," said M.C.
"It's true," said Maria. "She was kinda freaky when I got a picture of her the first time."
That made her and the other Mobians shudder. I then asked, "So, how are we going to get there?"
"Yeah," said Tails. "My plane isn't nearly big enough to bring all of us to that base."
"Glad you asked," said Alex. "I have a ship for that." He then walked over to a grandfather clock, and then turned the nob clockwise in 180 degrees, and then turned it counterclockwise in 90 degrees. Then a holographic wall disappeared, and showed a hidden elevator.
"Whoa!" said Twilight. "Man, you guys are better at technology than we are. When did you do this?"
"I get bored on Saturday nights when I don't have work," said Alex.
We entered a large metal cave with some kind of machine. Similar to that flying machine that was in those superhero movies. Avengers or something like that. We walked towards the back of the flying machine, and it opened up.
Alex then looked towards M.C. and asked, "You think you can fly a ship like this?"
"I believe so," said M.C. "What do you call it?"
"It's a special ship I call the X-Jet," said Alex. "I also got a plan. We'll explain on the way there."
Then we all came in. I then said, "What about everyone else?"
"We have Amy and Cream to keep them from leaving the place," said Olive. "They'll be fine."
M.C. then headed for the driver's seat, and started up the ship. He then said to himself, "It's okay, M.C. It's just another ship." He then picked up a book on how to drive the machine, and read it with his super speed. Then he started it up, and we all got put in our seats, and put on our safety straps. Then the ship started moving. We looked towards the front and saw that we were moving fast. Water covered us, and then we burst from the water just off the coast of the city.
"Head West from this exact location!" shouted Alex.
M.C. then sharply turned the ship, and headed west towards where the sun was going. Then he put the ship on something called auto-pilot, and pushed a few switches, and he headed right towards us.
"Alright," said M.C. "The ship's on auto-pilot and we're cruising in stealth mode."
"Good," said Alex. "We're all going to have to stick to the plan. I have seen all possible futures, and we'll all have to split up in groups of two."
We arrived at a creepy island. The sky was red, and the city was black. I could hear Fluttershy whimpering.
Then there was the sound of something coming up, coming from somewhere.
"Oh ho ho ho! Welcome to Eggmanland, the brainchild of my heart and soul! " came Eggman's voice. Then a huge golden statue of Eggman came out of the ground."This is my magnificent empire, made possible through my genius and the limitless energy thanks to the generous donation of Alexander Hamilton Lynol! "
Alex groaned at what Eggman just said.
"Ahh ha ha ha ha haaa! Surprised? Yes of course you are! Sonic! If you have any complaints, come deliver them to me in person. If you can, that is! " Then he started laughing, but his laughter then turned into coughing.
"That coughing doesn't sound so good," said Rarity.
"What can you expect from him?" asked Sonia. "He's 64 years old."
"I'm kinda concern for his health," said Maria. We all looked at her with a concerned look. "What? He's my cousin. He's... he's basically the only family I have left."
"Wait," said M.C. "Mama Robotnik's dead?"
"Good," said Sonic. "She's the one who got Eggman into villainy."
"And I thought that moms were supposed to be giving off good examples," said Rainbow Dash. "What are we going to do?"
"Stick to the plan," said M.C. "Sonic, Tails, you two know what to do."
The two of them nodded, and they rushed in. Sonic was running and Tails was flying. Although, the physics on how he was flying was impossible. He was spinning his tails like a propeller, and he doesn't get them pains in that area? How does that make sense?!
Anyway, M.C. tore a hole in the ground, and we went in the hole. We then jumped into the hole, following him. Those of us who could fly had to carry the ones who weren't as durable or prepared for the descent.
"3... 2... 1... Stop!" Alex shouted. Then he and M.C. stretched out their limbs and there was a pipe opening, big enough for a manticore to fit in. Then all of us went into it.
"This is really disgusting," said Rarity. "What is that terrible smell?"
"That is the scent of garbage being burnt," said M.C. "You're gonna smell that a lot in here."
Alex pulled ahead and said, "Alright everyone. We're going to have to split up in different directions. You know the teams of two we have to go." We all nodded. He then pointed towards one tunnel. This tunnel, this is the tunnel where Fluttershy and Maria go down."
Fluttershy was whimpering. But Maria pulled her into the tunnel. The rest of us continued down the tunnels. The next part of the team to split was Rainbow Dash and Mutt. Then went Rarity and Sonia. Then Olive and Pinkie Pie. We then came across a fork. One tunnel going down, and one tunnel going upward.
"We go our own ends from here. Applejack and I are going up," said Alex.
"But how are we going to get up there?" asked Applejack. Alex then grabbed Applejack, and jumped up into the higher tunnel. "Whoa!! Sweet Applesauce! Next time warn me if y'all are gonna do that!"
"Wow," said M.C. "That Applejack sure is stubborn."
"You have no idea," I told him. We then went into the tunnel heading downwards. We walked down the path to find out what was in stores for us.
We then continued walking down the tunnel. M.C. and I then started talking.
"So, you haven't been dating much since Sonia and you broke up, have you?" I asked him.
"No," said M.C. "I've been so busy with trying to help save the world from potential threats and trying to keep myself and Mutt living... I just haven't got the chance to find a girl." He then sighed. "My mom says that someday, I would find someone to spend the rest of my life with. Someone who would make my life very happy."
"Well," I said, "I guess your mom has a point. You deserve to have someone special to be with you. You're strong, you care about others, and you're even good with kids. You even cared about Joshua, and he was a human when you met him."
"Joshua is a good kid," said M.C. "He deserves a happy family. You, Nyx, Spike, your parents, your brother, Cadance, and your niece and nephew."
"Well," I said. "There is one thing that's missing from the family that he deserves. Him, Nyx, and Spike. They need a father figure."
He then stopped, and I bumped into him. He then turned around to face me and asked, "Are you sure? Are you sure you want me to be there for those kids? I'm not too sure if I'll make a good father for them."
"You care more about them than you do anything else," I told him. "You even had some practice of taking care of kids by taking care of Mutt ever since that one day."
He then looked away with his eyes and said, "Yeah, I guess so. But, how about before we consider that... you and I should..."
I interrupted him by pulling him in for a kiss. It took us about 20 seconds for us to separate from the kiss. We then smiled at each other, and came in for another kiss. That one lasted 10 seconds.
"How was that?" I asked.
"Guess I found that spark," said M.C. "It was you... all this time. I was just in the wrong time to find love."
"You deserve love," I said. "How about... before we go back... one night, you and I go on one date?"
"Yeah," said M.C. "I would like that." We then kissed once more, and broke it off. "But now, we got a mission to accomplish."
I nodded, and then the two of us headed down the tunnel. He was running and I was flying right behind him. This was going to be one mission we were never going to forget.

Chapter 8: Fluttershy and Maria vs. Snively Robotnik
Chapter 8: Fluttershy and Maria vs. Snively Robotnik
(Third Person Point of View)
Fluttershy and Maria were walking down a tunnel, looking for something to stop Eggman's plan. They came into a room where a bunch of robotic animals were being upgraded with weapons. And saw some animals being turned into robots.
"What's going on?" Fluttershy asked.
"That's the Roboticizer," said Maria. "It's a machine that turns organic life into machines. It was originally created by Sir Charles Hedgehog to prevent man from aging. Immortality is hard to get."
"But why?" asked Fluttershy. "It looks like they're good and healthy."
"Well, Julien plans on making all life forms his own robotic soldiers with no will power," said Maria. "My cousin cares more about himself being the ruler of the world than the people."
"How dare he," Fluttershy said, getting angry.
Then they looked over and saw a short man wearing a suit similar to Eggman's, but it was green instead of red.
"Colin?" asked Maria.
"Who?" asked Fluttershy.
"Colin Kintobor Jr, my first cousin once removed," said Maria. "He's actually Julien's nephew, and he's been following Julien's words for years."
Then they snuck into the room and tried to sneak past the short guy. Then a screen came up with Eggman's face and said, "Snively! We need more of those Roboticized Animals to take down Sonic! "
"Yes, Doctor," said Snively. "It's going as best as it can!"
"You better hurry! " said Dr. Eggman on the screen. "Or else, you're going to be the one to be on my next Roboticized Army!"
"Y-Y-Yes sir, Doctor," said Snively. He then sent another pack of Roboticized animals to the battle field.
"Those animals are gonna die out there," said Maria. "We have to stop them."
Fluttershy nodded, and followed the animals. They then came in front of the robot animals and stopped them. They started charging up their weapons, but they stopped when they saw Fluttershy using her stare on them. They were afraid of what Fluttershy was doing.
"What did you do to them?" Maria asked.
"I'm using 'The Stare' on them," said Fluttershy. "This makes all the animals calm down and do whatever I want. I use it to make sure they don't do anything bad."
"Good," said Maria. "It's a good thing that Alex worked on a De-Roboticizer Ray. And he just finished it." She then pulled a small gun out of the Robot Animals, and all of the animals there went back to organic animals."
Fluttershy then stopped her Stare and all of the animals came up to her and Maria, and snuggled with them. Fluttershy then said, "Oh, you're welcome!"
"Now, let's get out of..." Maria started, but was interrupted.
"WHAT?!" came Snively's voice. "How did those robots go offline?!" Then Snively ran into the hall and saw Maria and Fluttershy. "Maria?!"
"Hello, Colin," said Maria. "I see you have been doing rotten things lately."
"Maria, I hate to alarm you," said Snively, "but Doctor Eggman does not like it when there are pesky people trying to interfere with his latest projects."
Maria and Fluttershy looked at each other, and smirked.
Flashback...
Alex was explaining the plan to the group.
"Step one," Alex said, "Sonic and Tails go in and causes a major distraction while the rest of us go in through a secret maze of tunnels underneath the entrance. Step two, Fluttershy and Maria take out the process of making the animals into living weapons."
Present time...
Maria and Fluttershy had Snively tied up and gagged. Then they locked him up in the closet. Then Maria walked over to the computer. She then started shutting down the Roboticizer.
"How do you know how to use this?" asked Fluttershy.
"I've lived most my human life on a Space Colony orbiting the planet, surrounded by scientists," said Maria. "I learned a lot while I was up there."
Fluttershy nodded. And then all of the progress on the machines went from red to blue.
"Okay," said Maria. "Everything's blocked, and can only be opened by this computer. Now, I gotta destroy it." Then Maria put on an explosive that looks like mashed potatoes, and there was a timer on it that counted down from 30 seconds.
The two of them came out of the room, and the little explosive blew up, making Fluttershy flinch. "Okay, so how do we get to the others?"
"Well, Alex says to meet them at the core of the base," said Maria. "I have no idea how to get to the core."
Then a little squirrel scurried up to them, and he was speaking to Fluttershy, in squirrel. "Oh," Fluttershy said in response. "Why thank you." Then she looked at Maria and said, "This squirrel is willing to help us get to the core of the base."
"Perfect," said Maria. Then the two of them started following the squirrel.
To pass the time, Fluttershy decided to get a conversation with Maria. "So, Maria, were you really in space for most of your life as a human?"
"Yeah," said Maria. "I was hoping to come back down to the ground. I was meant to be down here, but because of my condition, I wasn't able to come down. I was really lonely. That was until Shadow came to existence. He was basically my best friend on the Space Colony Ark. He wasn't meant for friendship, he was meant for the destruction of the planet because of Black Doom. But when the government was shutting us down, I had to get Shadow down to Earth. I was hoping that Shadow would give them a chance to be happy. He didn't at first, but he remembered his promise, and saved the world from it's destruction. He then lost his memory before I came around, but he got his memory back. Shadow... he's like family to me."
"Wow," said Fluttershy. "Hearing how you described him, Shadow's story sounds a lot like Nyx's story. She wasn't born like any normal pony either. She was meant to rule Equestria under an eternal night, but that ritual didn't start off right, and she ended up a filly. She might have not gotten the form of a grown mare, and tried to take Equestria immediately. In fact, when Twilight found her, she didn't have any memory of anything before but the memory of being in that thorn bush. Nyx actually loved being a filly more than being that wicked mare she was meant to be."
"But things got complicated?" Maria asked.
"Yes," said Fluttershy. "That cult that created her tried making her who she was supposed to be. But her memories as Nyx said otherwise. Nyx was merciful, and didn't kill us, or the Princesses, or even three of her best friends. But when she started raising the sun, and let go of her three friends, the cult leader got angry, and tried forcing Twilight to hurt Nyx. But later, she discovered that Twilight was under the same mind control the cult was under and she rescued her before Twilight was hung."
"Well, I heard this on TV. Family is the greatest strength of all," said Maria. "Nyx wouldn't want anything majorly bad to happen to her mother."
"Yeah," said Fluttershy. "You're right. Twilight sure did love Nyx enough to be her mother before she officially adopted her." They then saw the end of the tunnel, and ran towards it.

Chapter 9: Rainbow Dash and Mutt vs. Decoe and Bocoe
Chapter 9: Rainbow Dash and Mutt vs. Decoe and Bocoe
(Third Person Point of View)
Rainbow Dash and Mutt came into a room full of weapons being made. Rainbow Dash was impressed.
"Whoa," said Rainbow Dash. "That's a lot of weapons. Who would need all of these?"
"Eggman wants to make sure he has the upper hand on battling his enemies," said Mutt. "So, he's making a lot of weapons for a bunch of robots."
"I see," said Rainbow Dash. "So our plan is to..."
Flashback...
"...take out the weapons, and make sure no more are made for his army of robots," Alex said. "Eggman is planning on taking out all of the other world's weapons for their defense and we'll have to make sure that they won't have any weapons to try and take over." He then handed Mutt a flash drive. "There's a program on this flash drive that'll mess up with Eggman's whole weapon section, and no one can unscramble it. Unscrambling this will be like unscrambling eggs."
"You can't unscramble eggs," said Rainbow Dash.
"Exactly," said Mutt. "Let's do this."
Present time...
Mutt and Rainbow Dash snuck into the room, and then they saw to robots working on the plans for the weapons. One robot was skinny, tall and yellow. The other was shorter, round and gray.
"Decoe and Bocoe," said Mutt. "They're two of Eggman's lackeys. The yellow one is Decoe and the gray one is Bocoe. C'mon."
Then Mutt and Rainbow Dash snuck past some computers. Without realizing it, they triggered a light and the door sealed up. They looked towards the door and then back at Decoe and Bocoe, and they were coming at them.
"It would seem that we have intruders in our lab," said Decoe.
"We must alert the doctor immediately," said Bocoe.
"Not gonna happen," said Rainbow Dash. Then she started flying around the two robots, creating a rainbow tornado, and them getting sucked up into the air.
Mutt came over to the computer they were working on, and put in that program hat was on that flash drive.
"Time to scramble these eggheads," said Mutt. The computer files started deleting themselves, making their progress be lost forever.
"NO!" said Decoe. "That little twerp just deleted our files!"
"We can get them back!" said Bocoe. They ran over to the computer, and they started typing somethings, but all that came up was a video.
That video was on repeat and it wouldn't stop.
"You little twerp!" said Decoe.
That video made Mutt and Rainbow Dash laugh.
"This isn't funny!" said Bocoe. "Egg Pawns! Attack!"
Then a bunch of Egg Pawns came into the room. Here's a list of them and how many of each of them: 2 Egg Bishops, 3 Egg Magicians, 1 Egg Knight, 8 normal Egg Pawns, 2 Egg Hammers, and 1 Heavy Egg Hammer.
"Wow," said Rainbow Dash. "This is gonna be hard for us."
"Start with those three red flying robots," said Mutt. "They can heal the other robots."
"Gotcha," said Rainbow Dash. She then started beating up one Egg Bishop at a time. They went down hard. Then Mutt started grabbing the Egg Knight with his Elemental Whip, and then used a fire whip to destroy it, and the eight normal pawns.
"All that leaves are the Egg Magicians, and the three robots with the hammers," said Mutt.
"How are we gonna take them down?" asked Rainbow Dash.
Then Mutt pulled something out of his pockets. It was a four sided pyramid, and it opened up, and some energy pulled in all of the robots got attracted to it.
"WHOA!!" shouted Decoe and Bocoe. Then the door came in, and hit the robots. "OW!" Then Mutt and Rainbow Dash headed out the doorway.
"See ya," said Mutt.
Right as they stepped out of the door, some lasers came out, and almost shot the two of them. The two of them looked up and saw the laser guns.
"Guess they only see movement of organic life forms," said Mutt.
"So, what are we going to do?" Rainbow asked.
"Since those laser guns give off heat," Mutt said, "I think we'll just have to burn out their insides, and they'll self destruct."
"How are we going to do that?" Rainbow asked.
Mutt then pushed a button and some music started playing.
Mutt then entered the hall, dancing and avoiding the laser fire. He was basically keeping it up and then all of the lasers exploded, and the music ended when the laser guns exploded.
"That... was... AWESOME!" said Rainbow Dash. "How did you know how to dance like that?"
"I like to dance on my days off," said Mutt. "I can do many dances. Freestyle, Cha Cha, Hip-Hop Dancing, even the romantic dances like salsa or samba."
"How did you learn how to dance like that?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"Video games," said Mutt. "My favorite dancing game is Just Dance for the Xbox systems. The Kinect system senses my movements, and I do my dancing in the exact formation. I even taught M.C. how to dance."
"Wow," said Rainbow Dash. "He must've needed the lessons."
"He wasn't much of a dancer," said Mutt. "You do not want to see his original freestyle. I almost threw up in the park in Soleanna."
"Wow," said Rainbow Dash. "So, I'm guessing you didn't have many friends in school."
"Actually, I was home schooled," said Mutt. "Sir Charles the Hedgehog taught me a bunch of stuff. But, I was a little lonely, and not many people around my age came up to me."
"Wow," said Rainbow Dash. "That sounds... really... lonely."
"It was," said Mutt. "I wonder what it's like to be in school. Make a lot of friends. Having fun with some of the other kids."
Rainbow Dash then smiled and said, "I guess there are some upsides to going to school. But being home schooled must be pretty lonely." She then said, "Hey, when we get back, we should get Twilight and your mom to get you into school. You'll be able to go to school some time later. Plus... you and Joshua might be able to do some boy stuff around Ponyville with some other colts."
"Yeah," said Mutt. "I've been hanging out with some colts at the arcade strip. Like Button Mash and Rumble. Oh, wait a minute." Mutt then pushed a few buttons on his glove and said, "Note to self: tell the Cutie Mark Crusaders to help out Button Mash."
"Oh, right," said Rainbow Dash. "Their talent is finding or understanding Cutie Marks for others. Good thinking. And since that colt Button Mash doesn't have his, he'll be needing help finding it."
"It's probably going to be something like him either designing video games or owning an arcade of his own," said Mutt.
"Yeah, you're probably right," said Rainbow Dash. "Now, let's get going!"
Then the two of them rushed down the hall.

Chapter 10: Rarity and Sonia vs. Sleet and Dingo
Chapter 10: Rarity and Sonia vs. Sleet and Dingo
(Third Person Point of View)
Sonia and Rarity kept going down a tunnel, searching for their destination. They came across a room where a huge, orange computer in the center of a room, under a spotlight.
"This seems a little suspicious," said Rarity.
"Indeed," said Sonia. "Stick close." They went towards the computer. Sonia then typed on the computer. "That's weird."
"What?" Rarity asked. "What is it?"
"This computer has no files," said Sonia. "I wonder why." Sonia kept typing, but then the computer started shaking.
The shaking came with some laughter, and someone saying, "That tickles!" They looked up, and at the top of the computer, there was a face. The face of an orange dingo.
"Gaaaah!" shouted Sonia and Rarity. They jumped back from the computer. Then the door opened and a wolf and a bunch of robots came in.
"Sleet and Dingo!" said Sonia. "I should have known!"
"The doctor figured that some pesky heroes would come in and try and stop him," said the wolf known as Sleet. He then pulled out a remote, pointed it at Dingo, pushed it, and a light came out of it. "Dingo, get them!"
Then Dingo started changing from a computer to a huge creature that kinda looks like Pennywise in his final form in "IT: Chapter 2," only more like him.
"You got it, Sleet," said Dingo. "I got this."
Then he started chasing Sonia and Rarity. Then Rarity said, "Oh, wait a minute. Alex said that the first computer was a decoy. Since he was that decoy..."
"That means the real computer is still in this room, somewhere," said Sonia. "I got an idea." Then Sonia stopped, making Rarity stop as well.
Dingo stopped and looked at Sonia, and she was giving him the beauty look. Dingo was mesmerized by her beauty, and he was drooling.
"Sonia..." said Dingo as he was drooling.
"DINGO!" shouted Sleet. "What are you doing?!"
Then a light blue aura surrounded the end of the purple cape Sleet was wearing, and Rarity said, "Oh, that is a very tacky outfit. This has got to be dealt with." Then the cape surrounded Sleet, tying him up, and he fell to the ground, with that remote falling off of him. Rarity grabbed it, pointed the remote at Dingo, and pushed the button. Dingo was then turned into a mouse, down to the size of one.
"What?!" asked Dingo in a high pitched voice. "No way!"
Then Sonia put a plastic cup over Dingo, and put a small piece of metal under him, picking him up.
"Good thinking," said Sonia. "Using Sleet's own fashion against him."
"Indeed," said Rarity. "Now, let's get the information we're trying to find."
"But first, we have to find that computer," said Sonia. "Where would computer be hiding?"
"I got it," said Rarity. She then pointed at a specific wall. "That wall over there is colored Mindful Gray while the rest of the walls are painted Dorian."
"Oh," said Sonia. "Good call. That means..." Sonia walked over to one section of the wall, and it disappeared, revealing a computer behind it. "Perfect. Now let's see what's going on." Sonia then started typing on it, looking for some answers.
"What does it say?" Rarity asked.
"It says here that Doctor Eggman is trying to make some artificial force," said Sonia. "Artificial Dark Gaia Force."
"Dark... Gaia?" asked Rarity. "That does not sound good."
"It's not," said Sonia. "Dark Gaia was a creature that is able to pull apart the planet for it's own darkness, and to take over the world. But there's another being that takes Dark Gaia down. Once every one million years, Dark Gaia and Light Gaia emerge. Light Gaia's job is to seal up the world and seal Dark Gaia up under the planet until next time."
"Oh, my," said Rarity. "So, why is the doctor creating artificial dark force?"
"I'm not sure," said Sonia. "But we need to find out." Then the two of them headed down the hall.
"So, what did you know about Michael?" Rarity asked Sonia. "More than what I know of him?"
"Well," said Sonia, "he's grumpy, he's aggressive, and he never gives up on something he believes in. And he always tries to make sure all the kids that will receive an awful future."
"Like he did with Joshua," said Rarity.
"Exactly," said Sonia. "I looked into Joshua's mind, and he was just like Michael when he was young. They lost their homes, their families, and all the people around them."
"But, he's a sweet little boy," said Rarity. "The day he got here, his seventh birthday, he only had the clothes he had on and no back up clothing."
"And you had to make him some more clothes, starting with pajamas?" asked Sonia.
"Yes," said Rarity. "How did you..." Then she shook her head and said, "Right. You're a telepath."
"I didn't need telepathy to guess that," said Sonia. "It's good to start with pajamas first since it's his first night in... It's called Equestria where you're from?... so it'd be best to start with the clothes."
"Just one more question, fashionista to fashionista," said Rarity. "Why do only the female Mobians where clothes most of the time and male Mobians don't wear much?"
"The female Mobians have sensitive parts that have to be covered up," said Sonia. "Like in the chest or the crotch. Male Mobians have tougher bodies then us, so they'll be warmer and they choose whether to wear clothes or not. But when it comes to winter, they'll have to wear snowsuits."
"But Michael didn't need any when we were getting Joshua from King Sombra," said Rarity.
"Michael has gotten through the highest and lowest of temperatures," said Sonia. "He's probably using the heat energy from that star he absorbed last year."
"He absorbed a star?" asked Rarity. "How powerful is Michael?"
"Just be lucky he didn't take off those rings on his gloves," said Sonia.
"I thought it was a weird sense of fashion on his gloves," said Rarity. "Is there something about them?"
"Shadow and Maria wear inhibitor rings to keep their power from burning out," said Sonia. "The rings keep them going after they use their powers. If they're off, they give off their full power all at once, and burnout at the end. Michael's rings do the opposite. Instead of giving him more power, it drains his power and burns it off, and basically, when they come off, he basically goes off like a nuclear bomb. He only takes them off unless it's necessary. Like when he absorbed that star that one time."
"Wow," said Rarity. "I'm kinda afraid of him, now."
"Comparing his full power to the time you faced Lord Tirek, they're basically tied," said Sonia. "Now, let's get to the others." Then they started running down the hall, heading towards the core of the lair.

Chapter 11: Pinkie Pie and Olive vs. Scratch, Grounder and Coconuts
(Third Person Point of View)
Pinkie Pie and Olive were in the middle of the room, tied up in a couple chairs, back to back. They were struggling trying to get out.
"Sheesh, these ropes are strong," said Olive.
"I just hope that we can get out of this with no trouble," said Pinkie. "How did we end up like this again?"
"Seriously?!" asked Olive.
Moments Earlier...
Olive and Pinkie just walked into the room, looking for some computers.
"Well, this place is a bust," said Olive. "Let's just get through this."
Then Olive and Pinkie jumped down, Pinkie saying, "Wheeee!" on the way down. Then they headed straight for the door, but they activated a tripwire, and a bunch of ropes and chairs came down, tying up the two of them.
"Whoa!" said Olive and Pinkie. They ended up tied up in the middle of the room. Then they started struggling.
"Sheesh, these ropes are strong," said Olive.
Present time...
"Does that answer your question?" asked Olive. "It literally just happened!"
Pinkie just grinned nervously, and a squee sound came from her. Then coming into the room were three robots.
One of the robots was tall and looks like a chicken. Another one was green and has drills for hands and a nose, and he had wheels like they use on tanks. And the last one looks like a monkey with a siren light on top of its head.
"Looks like these two got caught in our trap," said the chicken robot. "Haha hahaa!!"
"Indeed," said the drill robot. "The doctor is going to be extra proud of me!"
"What do you mean?!" asked the monkey robot. "I set this up! So I should be the one he'll be proud of!"
"Hey! I'm in charge here!" said the chicken robot. "So, I'm the one he'll be proud of!"
"Why you?!" said the two other robots, and they all started fighting each other.
"Who or what are these guys?" asked Pinkie.
"The chicken is known as Scratch, the drill bot is known as Grounder, and the monkey is known as Coconuts," said Olive. "They're a part of a hunting group of robots called the Super Special Sonic Search and Smash Squad. Their job is to take down Sonic. They failed every time."
"Wow," said Pinkie Pie. "These guys really don't know how to compromise."
"You have no idea," said Olive. "These guys can't even compromise on what to do."
Then they stopped fighting and looked at Olive and Pinkie Pie. They walked over to them.
"You really think you can stop what the Doctor has cooked up?" asked Scratch.
"You don't even know what the doctor's up to?" said Grounder.
"Not if I have something to say about it," said Olive.
"Yeah, c'mon!" said Pinkie Pie. "Please tell us what Doctor Eggman is up to."
"Sorry, pink girl," said Coconuts. "But you'll never get some answers out of us!"
"Oh, you really believe that?" asked Olive. "You think you have the upper hand? You three are three pieces of junk that don't know what you're doing at half the time. You all lose all the time, and never once have you three get along. In fact, I bet you don't even know what the Doctor is really up to!"
"O-o-o-of course we know!" said Scratch. "The D-d-d-doctor is planning to use that p-p-p-power source that Lynol kid has made and use it f-f-f-for his newest battle mech!"
"A-a-a-and we will finally take over the world!" said Grounder.
"N-n-n-nothing is gonna stop us after that!" said Coconuts.
Then Scratch widened his eyes and said, "Wait a minute! They're the ones tied up! How did she get the information out of us?"
Then Olive stood up her chair, and spun around, making Pinkie Pie kick the three badniks. When they recovered, Pinkie Pie showed up right behind them.
"Surprise!" she shouted, giving Scratch a present. Scratch was surprised and opened it, and then Pinkie Pie came out of it with a banana cream pie, shouting, "DOUBLE SURPRISE!!" She then slammed it into Scratch's face. Then Olive took off the ropes she was tied up in.
"Wait, how did she do that?" asked Olive. Then she shrugged her shoulders, and then ran over towards Coconuts, wrapped her legs around Coconuts's neck, and pulled him to the ground. Then she grabbed his tail and threw him at Grounder, and he got pushed towards Scratch. Then Olive pulled out a weapon from her fanny pack, and fired it at the three badniks, and they got stuck in a glue like glob on the wall. "And that's how it's done."
"You make a better bad cop in the whole good cop bad cop interrogation," said Pinkie Pie.
"It's a perk you pull up when you're a tier 6 out of 5 spy," said Olive. "So, should we get out of here?"
"Of course," said Pinkie Pie. She bounced while following Olive. She then asked, "You must be really good at getting to know everyone."
"I like to do my research," said Olive. "I have to know about what my mission is, and do research on what I have to do."
"What about your sister?" asked Pinkie. "Or basically any other kid you have to take care of?"
"Oh, I basically ask the parents about their kids likes and dislikes," said Olive. "But not my sister. I'm always willing to help her out whenever she needs my help. I might not have any powers, but I was surprised that my sister can fly."
"Your sister can fly?!" asked Pinkie Pie.
"She was born with bigger ears than any normal rabbit," said Olive. "She's special. Her ears are as big as mine, and yet, you're able to pick up air, and have her fly."
"Wow," said Pinkie Pie. "I bet you had to have some trouble watching her, huh."
"Not that much," said Olive. "She's six, I'm fourteen. It's best to get to know as much about them before you watch them. Like when you had trouble watching those babies the first time."
"How did you know about that?" asked Pinkie Pie.
"Twilight told me," said Olive. "She even told me that when she went to check on you, you were wearing a diaper."
Pinkie Pie smiled, embarrassingly. She then said, "I... might have needed a little more help."
"Here," said Olive, giving Pinkie Pie a book. "This book will tell you everything about taking care of kids. Depending on how many, how old they are, and what gender they are."
Pinkie then hugged Olive and said, "Thank you!" She then let go of her, took the book, and put it in her mane. "Now, let's go!" Pinkie then started bouncing towards the core of the place.
"Hey! Wait for me!" said Olive, running after her.

Chapter 12: Applejack and "Midpoint" vs. Bokkun and Metal Sonic
(Third Person Point of View)
Applejack and Alex headed for what looks like a factory. They came into a room that was full of gears. They jumped onto a giant gear in the middle of the room.
"So, what are we going to do here?" asked Applejack.
"We're going to have to take down this factory," said Alex. "These gears here. They run the factory. We have to take them down."
"How are we going to do that?" asked Applejack.
"We're going to have to rip out the gears with these special arrows I made," said Alex. "Not a problem for you and I."
"So, your signature choice of weapon is a bow and trick arrows," said Applejack. "Why is that?"
"My dad sent me to Archery Camp when I was seven," said Alex. "I was basically a natural at archery. Archery takes some intense focus, especially in distance, velocity, force, and geometry. I'm basically a genius when it came to all of those. In fact, everyone there gave me a nickname. Since there were superheroes with trademark code names, I was given the name Midpoint for always hitting my mark on the bullseye."
"Wow," said Applejack. "A natural archer. You must've been popular in school."
"Not really," said Alex. "I might be a smart kid, but I was basically the only kid to attend the college I was in. It wasn't easy for me to fit in, but I was able to graduate with honor in all the sciences and mechanics. I even built the X-Jet and basically all of the latest technological upgrades to all of the appliances in my grandfather's factory. People like the things we make and not appreciate what we do. I'm no Iron Man. I'm not even human anymore."
"Ah'm not too sure about the things ya know," said Applejack, "but don't rely on what people think of ya. Be yer own creature. Sorry, Ah'm not used to how things run here."
He then looked down, thinking about what Applejack said. Then he smirked, chuckled and said, "You're right. I shouldn't let words get the better of me. But, it's gonna be hard because I hate it when people insult my intelligence."
"Ah know," said Applejack. "Did ya really punch M.C. to the moon?"
"Yep," said Alex. "Although, he did restore the moon back to its former glory. Eggman tried using his machines to make the moon whole, and then he blocked out the sunlight, moving the moon from it's original orbit, and blocking out the sun for a get rich quick scheme. The moon might be smaller than the planet, but bring it close enough to the planet, and put it in front of the sun, it'll bring darkness and cold to the planet."
"Ha haha ha ha!" came the laughter of someone. Alex and Applejack looked up and saw a small robot coming down towards them.
"Bokkun," said Alex.
"Who?" asked Applejack.
"He's a messenger robot," said Alex. "He's really annoying when it comes to his message."
"How are his messages annoying?" asked Applejack.
"See for yourself," said the small robot. He then pulled a TV out of his green satchel, and pushed a button on it, and on the screen was Doctor Eggman.
"So, you decided to come after me, haven't you?! " asked Eggman on the TV. "You're a fool to come after me. Now, I am preparing to take over the world! Prepare to surrender! Bokkun... you know what to do. " Then the screen went black, and there was a countdown from fifteen seconds.
"Wait, what's it doing?!" Applejack asked, worriedly.
"It's gonna blow up," said Alex. "All of his messages do."
"WHAT?!" shouted Applejack.
Then the TV exploded, and Bokkun heading off somewhere. Then he came back out with another robot, that looks very identical to Sonic.
"Metal Sonic!" said Alex. "A robotic duplicate of Sonic. He'll try to tear us to shreds with his metal claws and booster he has for a back."
"You know it!" said Bokkun. "Metal Sonic, get them!"
Then Metal Sonic charged at the two heroes, but Alex grabbed Applejack and jumped out of the way, crashing into a wall behind them. Bokkun was laughing right where he was.
"How are we going to take down this machine?" asked Applejack.
"Hang on," said Alex. "I need to concentrate."
He then looked all over the place and was thinking of multiple reasons of how to get out of this, and destroy this part of the factory. He focused on the one thought.
"If I use the strong electromagnetic arrow tip, I'll be able to pull in Bokkun, Metal Sonic, and all of the gears towards one spot of the room. " He then looked up and saw a cone pointing downward above them. "Perfect. "
Then Alex and Applejack headed for the middle of the gear they were on. Then Alex got an arrow ready to go, aimed it straight up, and released it, and the arrow hit the bottom of the cone. Then Metal Sonic headed towards them. They quickly got out of the way, and headed for the edge of the gear they were on.
Bokkun started laughing and said, "You think you can beat us with a simple arrow?! You missed us big time!"
"I never miss," said Alex. He then pushed the button on his right glove and both Bokkun and Metal Sonic got pulled towards it.
"Gah!" shouted Bokkun. "You really think a huge magnetic field will stop us."
"Actually, it will," said Alex. He then motioned a finger, telling them to look around the room. Then Bokkun's eyes widened.
"Uh oh," said Bokkun. Then a huge creaking noise came from each gear in the room.
"What are we going to do now, sugarcube?" asked Applejack.
"Simple," said Alex. "We jump."
"What?!" asked Applejack.
"Just trust me," said Alex. He then jumped off the edge of the gear. Applejack was unsure, but she had to jump. She descended, following Alex.
"How are we going to survive this?!" asked Applejack.
Then Alex pulled out an arrow, and pulled out a wire connected to his belt. He then pulled out his bow, and then fired that arrow, and hit a certain spot. Then he grabbed Applejack, and they swung towards a water slide. Then the arrow disconnected itself from the wall and it went down the water slide.
"Woohoo!" shouted Applejack.
"This water slide will take us to the core!" said Alex. "Just enjoy the ride as we go down it."
"You got it, sugarcube!" said Applejack.
The continued going down the water slide, waiting for the ride to end.
Chapter 13: The Monster Out in the Heroes
Chapter 13: The Monster Out in the Heroes
(M.C.'s Point of View)
We finally arrived in the core of the place, looking for Eggman. Twilight and I were ready for a fight that was going to be the fight of our lives in the past. Hopefully, we'll make it out of this intact.
Then a huge door opened in front of us. Twilight and I got into battle positions. Coming in was some steam with the shadows of Sonic and Tails there.
"Oh, thank goodness," said Twilight. "Sonic and Tails are here."
"Hold it," I said. "Something's not right."
Then the figures came out of the steam, and out came Sonic and Tails, but not in their normal looks.
"Holy cow!" said Twilight. "What has happened to them?!"
"Sonic. Tails. Are you both in there?" I asked them
They started roaring at us, and they started hunting us. Twilight grabbed me and started using her wings to get me out of the way.
We headed up to a ledge above them.
"Let's just hope that this Tails doesn't know how to fly," said Twilight.
Sonic howled, and reached for us with a stretchy arm. I grabbed Twilight and jumped out of the way.
"Oh, boy," I said. "Sonic's become a werehog and Tails has become a werefox. Last time Sonic was like this he had total control. I think Eggman put some mind control somewhere on their. It's gonna be hard looking for them because of all that fur."
"I agree," said Twilight. "How are we going to get to find those mind controlling items?"
Then from the side, two arrows came in, with some restraints coming from them, tying up Sonic and Tails. We looked towards where the arrows came from and saw our friends there, and Alex gave a pose that he released some arrows from his bow.
"Just in time, too," said Alex. "Let's help these poor saps."
We all headed for the two were-creatures and searched their fur for any devices.
Alex's Apartment
(Nyx's Point of View)
We were waiting a while for the others to return. Joshua and I were staying with Guard and Flurry Heart, making sure they're okay.
"Hey, Nyx?" Joshua asked.
"Yes, Joshua?" I asked him.
"Have you ever wondered what it's like to have a dad?" Joshua asked.
I then put a finger to my chin and said, "Huh. I guess I never knew. Spell Nexus wasn't really a father figure because he was forcing me to be an evil queen. Even though it wasn't his fault."
"I... I kinda miss having a dad," said Joshua. "My old mommy and daddy cared about me so much. But, ever since I was adopted... I kinda missed having a dad. I wish that I would get the chance to have a dad again."
"Huh," I said. "I've always wondered what it would be like to have a dad. But, I don't think Twilight would want to see anypony. Well, except that one human from the other dimension."
"Yeah," said Joshua. "But I was told that long distance relationships never work out."
"I guess you're right," I said. "But who would want to be our father?"
"I might think of somepony," came aunt Cadance's voice. We looked towards the door and saw aunt Cadance. "Although, he's not really a pony."
"Really?" asked Joshua. "Who?"
"Well," said Cadance. "He's already living with you two, Twilight and Spike. And he's the one who told Joshua's birth parents to send him to Equestria."
"M.C.?" I asked.
"Yes," said Cadance. "I believe that he and your mom might make a good couple. Since, they are both immortal."
"Do you think M.C. and Twilight would be right for each other?" I asked.
"I believe so," said Cadance. She then walked over to Guard and Flurry Heart. "Michael is... extraordinary. He might as well be a good father."
Then Uncle Shining came in and said, "But, he's not really a pony. But do you think he and Twylie will get along?"
"Well," said Cadance, "they do care a lot about the creatures they're protecting. And both of them care about these kids."
"Just like a good father," said Shining. "Well, he is really protective. And he cares about all of us. He's basically like family to us."
Uncle Shining smiled and said, "Yeah, I guess you're right. Let's just hope that they'll be back here."
(M.C.'s Point of View)
The twelve of us got the devices off of Sonic and Tails. It was hard searching for them, but we got them off of them, and Sonic and Tails went back to normal.
"Ah, man," said Sonic. "That was awful."
"Are you guys okay?" asked Twilight.
"We'll be fine," said Tails. "We just... need some rest."
"You guys are in no condition to fight Eggman," said Alex. "You'll be better off recovering in the X-Jet."
I then pulled out my Super Warp Ring, and opened a portal to the X-Jet. Alex and I grabbed Sonic while Twilight and Applejack took Tails, and they led us into the portal. We put Sonic and Tails in some of the seats. Then Alex went over to a section of the X-Jet and pulled out a briefcase, and opened it up. Inside were the Chaos Emeralds. All seven of them.
"Now that's the fire power we need in an emergency," I said.
"But who's gonna be the one to use them?" Twilight asked.
"I'll do it," I said. "I have no idea what will happen, but I'm willing to take that risk."
"Oh, you'll be able to handle it," Alex said to me. "Although, when you change, you're going have a few more changes than Sonic, Shadow, or even Silver have."
"I'll be ready," I said. Then the four of us went back into the portal, leaving Sonic and Tails in the X-Jet. We then headed for the room where Eggman is waiting for us. We then stopped. I then started making a speech. "Whether or not we make it through this, our mission is to get the power source and to get most of us back to the future. We can't afford to lose it. We came here at a team, we'll leave as a team, and go back as friends." I then put in my left fist. The others joined in on the fist bump. "We go all in. Together." I looked over at Twilight. She smiled and nodded at me.
"He's pretty good at this," said Maria.
"Right?" asked Mutt.
"Alex?" asked Twilight. "What's the percentage of victory are we going to get if we go through with this?"
"I see multiple futures whether we go in there," said Alex. "I see about a zero point zero three percent chance of victory. We all go home if we don't second guess ourselves. Just be yourselves. Go all in."
"Are you sure about this?" asked Twilight.
"What if we all fail?" asked Fluttershy.
"Stick to what you're good at," said Alex.
"And we'll be able to win this," I said. "No way we're going to step out of this. We do this together."
I looked at all of them. Some of them were unsure. But then they smiled, and nodded. We all headed into the room where Eggman was at the moment. This was going to be the fight for the future.

Chapter 14: The Final Countdown: Egg Behemoth
Chapter 14: The Final Countdown: Egg Behemoth
(Twilight Sparkle's Point of View)
We came into a huge room. There was a huge circle battleground over some lava. Hopefully, none of us won't have to go into there. Then there was the sound of some whirling coming from above, and down came a huge machine. It had four legs, horns, wings, and a huge tail.
"WHAT IS THAT?!" shouted Rainbow Dash.
The metal creature opened its mouth, revealing Doctor Eggman, and he was laughing. He then looked at us and said, "So, you all made it here. You all are quiet lucky. But now, it's the time for my to finally take the world as my own, as I see fit!"
"Not if we have something to say about it!" shouted M.C. "What mythical creature did you base that one off of this time? What is that, a demon ram?"
"No way," said Mutt. "It's gotta be the beast from Beauty and the Beast."
"You pathetic ingrates!" said Doctor Eggman. "This is my greatest creation I have ever created! Behold, the Egg Behemoth!"
"Egg Behemoth?" we all asked.
"Julien!" shouted Maria. "You don't know what you're doing!"
"Those power orbs aren't meant for battle!" said Alex.
"You don't even know what your own creations are capable of!" said Dr. Eggman. "I will finally rule this world, and no one, not even Sonic, will be able to stop me." Then he cackled loudly.
M.C. sighed and shook his head. Then he said, "You always said that, but then you end up in a pile of scrap metal, wondering to yourself why you failed so badly. You never won against those who fight for what's right. For someone who's supposed to be smart, you're pretty dumb."
"WHAT?!" asked Doctor Eggman. "You're going to pay for that!"
"Let's get him!" said M.C. Then we all charged at him in different directions. Alex and Applejack went to the right and Alex fired an arrow with a wire, and it wedge itself into the left arm of the Egg Behemoth. I carried M.C. by flying, and I threw him towards the left shoulder of the beast, and he used his claws and shredded through it.
Rainbow Dash and Mutt, were distracting the right arm when Eggman was trying to attack it. But Rarity and Sonia came up to the right arm. Rarity used her magic to pull apart the wires, and when she finished, Sonia came flying down, spinning in a pink tornado, and the right arm got torn apart from the shoulder.
Then Pinkie Pie and Olive got on the rear side of the machine, tearing apart the backside of the robot. Pinkie Pie was trying to make things interesting by replacing the ammunition with cupcakes. Fluttershy flew Maria up to the cockpit of the machine, and they went in, surprising the Doctor.
"Julien, please, stop this!" Maria begged. "This isn't the way!"
"Sorry, Maria!" said Doctor Eggman. "But our family is meant for ruling this world!"
"No!" said Maria. "That's what your mom wants! She doesn't deserve the name Robotnik when she married into the family!"
"Sorry, cousin," said Doctor Eggman, "but the world is in my grasp!" He then pushed a button, and Maria and Fluttershy were flung from their spot, and landed by me and M.C.
"Are you two alright?" I asked.
"We're fine, Twilight," said Fluttershy.
"I... I couldn't talk him into stopping," said Maria.
"It's okay, Maria," said M.C. "You tried, and that's what matters."
"So, you believe that you have beaten me?!" asked Doctor Eggman. "The power source wasn't the only thing of yours I've taken Mr. Lynol!"
Then we saw the arms regenerate. M.C. then shouted, "That's the same nano-tech that Alex gave me!"
"You all lost!" said Doctor Eggman. "Open up the sky roof!" Then the entire ceiling opened up. We all looked up at where the doctor was going.
"What are we going to do?!" I asked.
"Time to bring out the Chaos Emeralds," said Alex. He then pulled out the case where the Chaos Emeralds were. "This is your moment, M.C."
M.C. nodded, and took the case. Then he walked over towards the center of the room. Then he opened the case, and before he could move the cover, I came up to him and said, "You don't have to do this alone." Then the rest of my friends came up.
"No way we're gonna let you have all the fun!" said Rainbow Dash. "We want in on this, too."
M.C. smiled and said, "Spike told me about the Rainbow Power. I guess it's time to unleash it with some help with the power of the Chaos Emeralds." He then lifted the lid of the case, and the seven Chaos Emeralds levitated themselves, and started spiraling around the seven of us.
The power of the Chaos Emeralds entered us, and we got twice as much power we did from the Rainbow Power we used against Lord Tirek. But when we saw M.C., his gray fur turned golden yellow, his hair turned white, and some of his body parts started changing. His muzzle turned into an orange dragon's muzzle with silver outlines, his hands turned into gold and orange dragon claws, the tip of his tail turned into a long gold and orange dragon's tail, and then he levitated himself, spun around counterclockwise, twice, and then gold and orange dragon wings sprouted from his back.
We were amazed by him. Alex then shouted, "Say hello to Maximum M.C.!"
M.C. then roared like a dragon, grinned and said, "Let's do this."
The six of us nodded, and then looked towards the others and Mutt said, "We'll follow you in the X-Jet!"
M.C. then tossed Mutt his Super Warp Ring, and then the seven of us took off. This is going to be the fight for Mobius.
We flew towards where Eggman was flying, and saw his machine heading towards the country we were staying in until the Time Machine was finished. Now, we see Eggman's Egg Behemoth heading towards the city. We then got in front of him and he stopped.
"WHAT?!" asked Doctor Eggman. "IMPOSSIBLE!"
"Nothing's impossible, Doc," said M.C. "You just don't understand why we keep fighting for what's right. You care more about yourself than everything else."
Then we all started glowing in our respective colors and then circling the machine, creating a rainbow orb, and then we got all of the parts of the machine separated, and the power source that Alex worked on fell off, and then Rainbow Dash grabbed them, and she got in a line with us. Eggman was just hovering in his Egg Mobile, and he was standing up on it.
"You all are going to regret that!" said Doctor Eggman. "I will not stop until I have the world for myself! I will...!"
"We're done here," said M.C. Then he rushed towards Dr. Eggman, and he punched the Egg Mobile and the Doctor away towards South.
Then the X-Jet came towards us. We flew towards it, and the back end opened up, and we flew into it, and landed. We then gave up the power, and went back to normal. Rainbow Dash walked over to Alex, and handed him the power source to the Time Machines.
"I believe these are yours," said Rainbow Dash.
"Indeed," said Alex. "Now, let's get back to my apartment."
"What happened to Julien?" Maria asked.
"He's gone," said M.C. "Not gone as in dead. Gone as in banished. He'll be a castaway somewhere on the Equator."
"So, are we gonna go home?" asked Rarity. "I was hoping to get back home before my next client comes."
"Don't worry, Rarity," said Alex. "We're gonna get you home." He then headed for the controls, and then drove the X-Jet towards the place where his apartment is. It was time for us to go back.
Epilogue: Home Again...
(Joshua's Point of View)
Finally, we were going home to the future. Last night, Mommy and M.C. slept in the room he and Mutt usually share. We came into the lab where Alex finished the preparations on the Time Machines.
"Okay," said Alex. "The Time Machine usually has a one way ticket. That's why I made two. In case you guys wanna come back here, you'll have your own way here."
"Thanks for the heads up," said M.C.
"Yeah," said Mommy. "We might come back here for a vacation."
"I've been wanting to try going on a Disney Cruise," said M.C.
"That actually sounds like fun," I said.
"Yeah," said Nyx. "Although, I don't think it'll have as much fun as Disney World."
"Although, tickets for the cruise are more expensive than tickets at Disney World," said M.C. "I'm sure that we'll be able to save up enough to get more tickets."
"That sounds good," said Mommy.
"I've always wanted to go there," said Mutt.
"Alright," said Alex. "Let me get some shrinking tech installed on the second Time Machine and..."
Then Mommy used her magic, and the 2nd Time Machine started shrinking.
"Or you can do that..." said Alex. "...for free."
Then M.C. walked over to it, and put it in his pocket, wherever those pockets are. Then M.C. and Mutt stepped onto the Time Machine. Alex then walked up to the rest of us.
"Before you ponies," he stopped and looked at me, "and human turned pony, step onto the time machine, you need to wear these bands. These bands will change you back into a quadruped pony when you go back."
"But what if I rather stay like this?" I asked.
"Sorry, kid," said Alex. "It won't work like that." He then walked over to me, and put the band on my wrist. After we all got our wrists on, Mommy and her friends, the Cutie Mark Crusaders, including me and Nyx, Grandpa Night Light, Grandma Velvet, Uncle Shining, Aunt Cadance, Flurry Heart and Guard got onto the Time Machine with M.C. and Mutt.
"Finally," said M.C. "We're going home."
Then Alex started pushing a few switches on the machine and said, "Goodbye, you all. See you some other time." Then he pushed a button, and then the middle of the time machine opened up, and we fell into the hole, going back to the future.
(Third Person Point of View)
Somewhere on a Deserted Island...
Doctor Eggman was sitting on an island where there were no other people in sight. He was already growing beard stubble. He looked into his reflection on the water of the ocean.
"My grasp on humanity might be going slightly..." he said. "But that won't stop me." He then walked over to the Egg Mobile and said, "Here's what's going on. No resources. No contact with the outside world. A lesser man would die here. Isn't that right, agent Stone?" He was looking at a rock that looks like a face. "Don't worry, Agent Stone. We'll be home by Christmas." He then grabbed the rock and said, "Why don't you get a head start... on Rock-connaissance!" He then started laughing evilly like he does.
(Twilight Sparkle's Point of View)
We finally came home, surprising Starlight Glimmer, along with Princess Celestia and Luna. I was surprised to see them as much as they were surprised to see us.
"How long were we gone?" I asked.
"Six hours," said Starlight Glimmer.
"Are you kidding me?" M.C. asked.
"I have never seen a spell casted like that before," said Princess Celestia.
"That spell we used wasn't a spell at all," M.C. said. "It was a time portal. We just came back from 10,000 years in the past. We were there for about a month."
"Wow," said Princess Luna. "Who helped you out with that?"
"A kid scientists by the name of Alex Lynol," said Mutt. "He's two years younger than M.C."
"It's true," said M.C.
"Well, I'm glad you all came back, safe and sound," said Princess Celestia. "Now, I hope you all will have a nice break."
"Actually, we had a vacation back in the past," said Nyx.
"So, what else did you do?" asked Princess Luna.
"Stopped a psychotic human from taking over the world," said Applejack.
"He's more mentally unstable than when Starlight Glimmer was," said Rainbow Dash. She then looked at Starlight and said, "No offense."
"None taken," said Starlight. "I might as well get used to hearing that."
"You're not the first one," I said.
"Who was the first one?" asked M.C.
"Sunset Shimmer," I said. "I had to go back to that dimension at the time to stop the sirens that were banished there by Starswirl the Bearded."
"So, how about we all head on out for dinner?" asked Mom. "It would be nice to get some air now that we're back."
"Sure," I said. "Let's go."
Then we all headed out. I then stopped and looked around. I smiled. Joshua then asked, "Mommy? Is something wrong?"
"No, Josh," I said to him. "I'm just glad to be home." We then headed out, heading to one of the best restaurants Ponyville has.
THE END...
Chapter 4: The Ultimate Alien... Eclipse
Chapter 4: The Ultimate Alien... Eclipse
(M.C.'s Point of View)
These past few days have been extremely boring. There was barely anything to do here. Most of Twilight's friends were bored as well. Rarity volunteered to help out at Sonia's new boutique. Maria took Fluttershy to the zoo to look at all the animals there. And as for Pinkie Pie, she was too pooped to party, which was hard for her to be.
Twilight and her family was sitting in the living room while I was making some omelettes for them. Luckily, there was a large stove top that fits eight burners on top. I got the orders of the others on how they would like their omelettes. Even had some hash browns being made in a skillet.
Alex came into the room and said, "Well, I got to get to work. If you need anything, I'm already ahead of you."
"Easy for you," I said. "You're able to see three days ahead."
"Well, see you all later," said Alex. He then headed out.
Then I put the Omelettes onto separate plates, put some hash browns on them, and rushed them to each pony they were assigned to.
"Thanks, M.C.," said Cadance.
"Still got some things to know about this place," said M.C. "Not everyone here knows much about what comes from the future. Except for the people who know Silver the Hedgehog."
"Who's Silver?" asked Twilight.
"He's a hedgehog from 200 years in the future," said M.C. "He has an ability that is similar to a unicorn's magic."
"How powerful is he?" asked Shining Armor.
"He only has flight and telekinesis," said M.C. "But, he's not really not that smart when it comes to trust. It's easy when we're throwing him a surprise party."
"I guess I can understand that," said Twilight. "So, is there any libraries here?"
"Actually, there's one library just down the road," I said. "It's quite a distance."
"I would like to see that library," said Twilight.
"Can I come, too?" asked Nyx. "I practically lived in a library."
"I know," I said. "I saw the pictures on that root I was hanging off of when Mutt and I got onto them."
"Well, can I?" asked Nyx.
"I don't see why not," I said. "What about you, Josh? You in?"
"Yeah, I guess," said Joshua. "Haven't been in a public library since..." He then bowed his head and said, "Well... you know."
"Since Tirek destroyed the library," said Twilight. "It's okay. We don't have to worry about that anymore. Tirek's imprisoned, King Sombra is a statue and buried deep underground, and Starlight Glimmer is reforming."
"We don't have to worry about threats to Equestria for a while," I said. "Literally."
That made Twilight laugh and say, "Time travel joke. Clever."
"Alright," I said. "We'll leave after breakfast is done."
"Okay," said Twilight. She then took a bite out of her omelette. "This is really good, by the way."
"I know," said M.C. "I had to cook for myself from time to time."
"Good call," said Twilight. "You did good. Perhaps you should cook more often."
"Everyone has to learn how to cook," said M.C. "Now, eat up." I then looked over at Spike and asked, "You coming with us, Spike?"
"Nope," said Spike. "Mutt's gonna teach us how to play this weird video game system."
"Of course he is," I said deadpanned. Guess Mutt wants to hang out with someone around his age.
I took Twilight, Nyx and Joshua to Bayside City's public library. Twilight was amazed that this library was bigger then the library she and Nyx used to live in. But it was just about as big as the library in Canterlot. Twilight wanted to check out every book in the library, but I didn't let her because she wasn't the only one in the library who wanted to check out library books.
I showed Nyx and Joshua where the children's books were. It seemed that this library had all of the children's books that were in Joshua's home world. But, they would be fine reading the books there.
"We'll be back to check on you," said M.C.
The two of them nodded. Twilight wanted to start off with reading the history books. She grabbed about a dozen books and headed for a table. I grabbed a newspaper that explains why I was officially titled "The Ultimate Avenger." It was interesting because of all of the people I have avenged before Mutt and I ended up in the future.
"M.C.?" Twilight asked, getting my attention.
"Yeah?" I asked.
"I was wondering," said Twilight. "You and Sonia dated, right?"
I sighed and said, "It was only one time. Sonia and I thought we were meant to be. Hoping that we would stay together. But that one date... we had a kiss. But there was one thing that was missing. The spark. Usually, a spark like that meant that we were destined to be with each other. But..."
"The two of you didn't feel it?" asked Twilight.
"Exactly," I said. "We haven't dated since. Although, we did talk a while."
"Guess you were waiting for the right one to come across," said Twilight, scooting her seat closer to me.
"Yeah," I said. "My mom died before she could give me... the talk."
"Birds and bees?" asked Twilight.
"Yeah," I said. "But... I guess that I can never find the right one."
"I guess... you'll find that... special someone... eventually," Twilight said, getting close to my face.
"You don't care if you and I are... different species?" I asked.
"You wanted to do what was right for Joshua," said Twilight. "Perhaps you should try to be there for him."
I smiled, and then we were about to kiss.
BOOM!!
We were interrupted when the front door of the library blew up. Twilight and I got up from our seats, and headed for the railing, looking at the front door. Coming from the smoke, there were black and red creatures.
"Oh, great," I said. "It's those black aliens again."
"Black aliens?" Twilight asked.
"We'll talk about them later," I said. "Right now, I gotta get to taking them down." I jumped over the railing. Coming in from the smoke came a black alien that looks like a mix of both Shadow and Knuckles.
"Pathetic creatures of this world!" shouted the being. "I am Eclipse the Darkling! And I have come to...!"
"Shh," I shushed him, keeping my voice low. "This is a library. It's supposed to be quiet."
"Blast it!" whispered Eclipse. "Fine! My fellow brothers in arms, attack! Quietly!"
Then the black aliens, quietly, roared and charged at me. I then used my super speed, and took them all done. But there was one missing.
"Huh?" I asked. But then, I was blown away and headed up to the second floor, and everything went back to normal speed. "Oof."
"You can't outrun me!" said Eclipse. "I am..."
"Shh!" I shushed him.
He then sighed and whispered, "I am the ultimate alien. You can't stop me."
He then jumped looked up tried attacking me with a crimson dagger, but then I countered him, and pushed him down to the ground beneath me. He then pushed me off of him, and through the railing, and down to the first floor. This won't be the end of me. It's completely impossible.
He tried getting the upper hand, but I did a sweep kick, and knocked him down. He then got up and tried punching me, but I dodged him, and jumped onto his shoulders. I then poked him in five different spots on his body. I then jumped off of him.
"What's going on?!" he whispered harshly. "I can't move!"
"I just poked you in five different parts in your body, making you immobile for a while," I whispered to him.
Then Twilight, Nyx and Joshua came up to us and Twilight asked, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine," I told her.
"Really? Because you look like you're in need of a hospital," said Twilight.
"Oh, please," I said, waving a hand. "Eclipse barely scratched me."
"You have red and black daggers lodged in your back," said Twilight. I then turned around and saw them.
"Oh, right," I said. "It's cool. I got a healing factor." Then the daggers just fell out of my back.
Twilight shook her head and said, "I always forget about that. You're kinda freak us out when you have stuff lodged in your back."
"I get that a lot," I told her. "Let's call GUN and tell them to take care of this psycho."
"I'm on it," said the librarian. She then dialed a number, and called GUN.
Well, the black aliens were taken in, and Eclipse was sealed in a suspended animation capsule, being frozen. We came back to the apartment where we were staying at until we get back to the future.
When we got back, everyone wondered what happened to us.
"Eclipse happened," I told them.
"Eclipse?!" asked Maria. "As in Shadow's twin half-brother?"
"Wait, what?" asked Twilight. "That guy is the brother of Shadow the Hedgehog?"
"Shadow was meant to be part of the alien allowance to help destroy the planet," I told her. "But... there was one problem with their plan."
"And that is?" asked Twilight.
"Me," said Maria. Twilight looked over at Maria with confusion. "The head of the black aliens, Black Doom, was planning on trying to take over the planet and was going to make our people the food."
"But luckily, Shadow remembered what was important," I said. "He might have been the Ultimate Life Form, but his heart is what makes him truly ultimate."
"So, how did you take down Eclipse?" Maria asked me. "He's basically a softy when it comes to protecting me. Plus, he and M.C. have a bit of a rivalry."
"What kind of rivalry?" asked Twilight.
"To see who is the stronger one," I said. "But, we stopped our rivalry when Darkstrike came back."
"Yeah," said Mutt. "And Shadow is kinda like Sunset Shimmer."
"Who's Sunset Shimmer?" asked Twilight Velvet.
"She's actually one of Princess Celestia's private pupils," said Twilight. "The one before me. She... was a little bit... more unfriendly than I was when I was Princess Celestia's student."
"Back then, she was power hungry, and greedy, and wanted Celestia to make her a princess," said M.C. "But when Celestia was about to tell her that she wasn't the one who could make any pony royalty, she exiled herself into another dimension."
"She came back one time and stole my Element of Harmony so she could use it to make some of the inhabitants of that dimension to take over Equestria," said Twilight. "And the inhabitants of that world are human versions of everypony in Equestria."
"Then where's the Sunset Shimmer of that dimension?" I asked.
Then Twilight widened her eyes and said, "When we get back, remind me to ask Sunset Shimmer a question."
"Got it," I told her. "So, has anyone called?"
"Not yet," said Joshua.
"We were wondering how he knew how to use that weird device," said Night Light. "But, we kept forgetting that he lived in a world similar to this world."
Then the phone rang, and I walked over to it and picked it up. "Hello?"
"Well, right now, the power source is just starting up to charge, " said Alex through the phone. "But it'll take a while for it to be finished. Might as well get a little bit of a vacation. "
"What are you thinking?" I asked him.
"I'll explain it when I come back, " said Alex. "But first, I know why Eclipse showed up at the library. He was on the search for something. "
"What was it?" I asked.
"Ask Joshua, " said Alex. "It's in his pocket. "
I then looked over to Joshua. I then walked over to him and asked, "What did you find in the library?"
Joshua gave a solemn face, and from his jacket pocket, he pulled out this:
"A Chaos Emerald?!" I asked. "That explains why Eclipse was at the Library."
"A what what?!" asked Twilight.
"A Chaos Emerald is a gem that possesses powerful properties and abilities," I told her. "There are seven of them, and..." I then saw that Spike was mesmerized by it. Thinking it's one of his favorite snacks, he then tried taking a bite out of it, but I moved it out of the way. "Are not for snacking."
"Oh, c'mon!" said Spike. "I haven't had a sapphire all day. Plus, aren't emeralds supposed to be green?"
"The Chaos Emeralds evolved from their green color a long time ago," I said. "Except for one. That one stayed green." Spike wasn't paying attention and grabbed the emerald out of my hand. Then he tried taking a bite out of it, but the energy of the emerald shocked him, and he was flown back into a window. I'm surprised he didn't break through. Alex must've gotten a great deal on toughened glass. I walked over to him and said, "Like I said. Not for snacking."
"So, what are the other colors of the Chaos Emeralds?" asked Twilight.
"All of the colors; Green, Red, Blue, Gray, Light Blue, Purple, and Yellow," I said. "Just one of them can turn thoughts into power. And if all seven are gathered, something extraordinary happens. Something good, something bad. But it depends on what you'll use them for. It's usually Sonic that uses them."
"Really?" asked Twilight. "Have you ever got the chance to use them?"
"Not yet," I told her. "But, I don't have a reason to use 'em. All of the battles I had been in, I never faced an opponent that I can't face without them. But, when Sonic uses them... Well, see for yourself." I then showed them a video of when Sonic used the Chaos Emeralds.
"WHOA!" said all of the ponies.
"That... is... AWESOME!" said Rainbow Dash.
"Their power is limitless," I said. "It increases the user's power, and even gives them new powers they didn't have. All the powers Sonic had as Super Sonic were Flight, Enhanced super speed, Enhanced super strength, Enhanced jump, Enhanced acrobatic skills and reflexes, and Virtual invulnerability."
"Wow," said Twilight. "So, there are seven of them. We got one, so where are the other six?"
"Every time the Emeralds are used, they get split off into seven different locations," I said. "It just takes a matter of time to find them." Then there was a knocking on the door. I walked over to the door and Sonic was standing there.
"Is it true?" Sonic asked. "Did you guys find a Chaos Emerald?"
I handed it to Sonic and said, "Don't let Eggman get his hands on it."
"You know it," said Sonic. "Good thing Alex gave me the call."
"Indeed," said M.C. "See ya."
"Yeah," said Sonic. "Bye." Then he rushed out.
I then turned to the others and said, "If anyone sees a gem like that, let me know."
They all nodded. Hopefully, we'll get to get back to the future in no time.
Gah! Pinkie Pie! What are you doing?!
Why?
I wasn't talking to you that time. You know what, this story only has four points of views. Me, Twilight, Josh and Nyx. We can't afford a fifth point of view in the story.
You're just lucky you're in this story. Right now, this chapter is over.
The writer says you're not getting your mouth back until the next chapter. So don't do that again.

Chapter 15: The Royal Date of M.C. and Twilight
(M.C.'s Point of View)
We just arrived back at the apartment, where the others were waiting for us. The others were happy to see us all in one piece. Alex then came out first, heading towards the lab upstairs.
"I'll put these power orbs in the two time machines in my lab," said Alex. "They'll be ready by tomorrow."
"Thanks, Alex," said M.C. "We'll be ready for tomorrow."
We all came into the dining room and said, "Well, it is done."
Twilight came up to my side, and she grabbed my left hand with her right hand.
Sonia then looked towards us and said, "Oh my god. You two are starting a thing, aren't you?"
"Yep," I said. "I finally found that spark that I was searching for."
"I knew I saw something in you two," said Cadance. "I knew that one day you two would be a good couple."
"Twilight?" Nyx asked coming up to Twilight. "Are you really going to start going out with M.C.?"
"I am," said Twilight. "In fact, I believe that M.C. is going to take me out on a date, tonight. Isn't that right?"
"Yep," I said. "I'll get us a table at the best Italian Restaurant in the city. I should get into the bath tub."
"And I'll get into the shower," said Twilight. She then looked at Sonia and Rarity and said, "I hope you two can come up with a date dress."
"No need, Twilight," said Sonia. "You don't have to dress to impress. Just be you on your date."
"Huh," said Rarity. "That's actually a good idea. I never thought of doing that before."
"Sometimes, you don't have to dress for them," said Sonia. "It's best to dress for you."
"I think that's a good call," said Twilight Velvet to her daughter. "Just be yourself."
We then headed to our rooms. Twilight and I were going to get ready for tonight. Hopefully, Sparkles and I will enjoy this night.
Well, Twilight and I went out for a nice dinner at that one Olive Garden. I ordered us a huge pan of spaghetti for Twilight and I to share. I ordered a side of meatballs, and told them not to put them the spaghetti. But when they were about to serve the meal, they put the meatballs in the spaghetti. Some cooks don't want to listen to requests. But when he saw that it was me, he decided to recook our order, following the specific instructions, and he gave us a free desert.
We then headed out to see a movie. We enjoyed the movie, and then we basically went on a hill top, and we looked up at the stars, laying down on a picnic blanket.
"This was basically the best time I had with you," said Twilight. "Although, the restaurant we went do did not get our order right the first time."
"Yeah," I said. "I wish that the cooks would accept my orders as they should be. Some people who cook just don't want to listen to orders."
"M.C.?" Twilight asked. "You mind if I ask you something?"
"Shoot," I said.
"What were your parents like?" she asked me.
I widened my eyes a little, but then I get an upset face. I then said, "Well, my mom... she was kinda like your mom. Smart. Responsible. Kind. Caring." I then pulled a picture of me and my family from my pocket. The picture was taken when I was six. "She knew what was best for me. She even could see all possible futures like Alex."
"Wow," said Twilight. "So, she knew that she was going to die before it happened?"
"Yes," I said. "She even told me herself when I went back in time. Me, Sonic and Shadow came back the day before the attack, and I was going to warn her, but she knew the attack was coming. She even saw me coming. She was happy to see me again. We had a good private chat. She told me that she herself take the blow so I wouldn't grow up spoiled and snotty. Like that pony, Blueblood I suppose."
Twilight giggled and said, "Yeah, I guess you're right."
"Mom wanted what's best for me, even if she wasn't there for me to grow up," I said. "Me, and my father. Dad always worked on protecting his kingdom and his family. Dad always worked, but he sometimes has time for me. I just wish my parents are still with me."
"Well, Joshua said that his birth parents are still with him in his heart," said Twilight. "Don't ya think that your parents are still with you in your heart?"
I thought about it, and then I smiled. I then said, "Yeah. I guess you're right, Sparkles. I do miss my family."
"I know your parents would want you to be happy," said Twilight. "I'm sure they're proud of the fox you've grown up to be."
I smiled at that, and then I pulled her in for a kiss. We kissed for thirty seconds, and stopped for some air. "So, should we head back?"
Twilight looked at the clock that was near us and saw it was 11:30 at night. She then said, "Sure. It is late. Let's head on back."
When we arrived back in the apartment, at there, sitting on the couch, Mutt was there, passed out, and a sticky note was on his face, and I walked over to him, and took it off of him.
It read: "M.C., since you and Twilight were on a date together, I thought you two would want some alone time at night in the room you and I share. Spike was the one who came up with this idea. He'll be fine watching over Nyx and Joshua tonight, since he did so well with watching the two after Josh first arrived here, only in the future. "
"Alright," I whispered. "Let's head on to the room that Mutt share."
"Good call," whispered Twilight. We then headed to the room that Mutt and I were staying in.
We had some... alone time... before going to bed, but we eventually stayed together all night. Hopefully, this won't be too different when we get back to the future. No way that Twilight and I were going to be torn apart due to us being different species. There's a huge difference than dating someone older than you and dating someone who has time traveled, or was under suspended animation. You saw what happened in that show, 'Avatar: The Last Air Bender.'
