An Alliance Of Evil

"Our king? And who do you think you are?" Otto said to the dark stallion.

"I am King Sombra. Rightful ruler of the Crystal Empire and the master of Dark Magic." Sombra replied.

Orbot leaned in towards Cubot, "This one seems very self centered." He whispered into Cubot's audio processor.

Eggman then cleared his throat and stepped forward towards Sombra, "You're Equestrian." Eggman pointed out.

"Very good, doctor. Your genius knows no bounds." Sombra said sarcastically.

"Watch it! I came close to conquering your entire dimension, I could easily see to it that you are a speck of dirt on the floor." Eggman threatened.

"HAH! Please, your feeble achievements are nowhere near as close to mine. I actually conquered Canterlot." Sombra boasted.

"Uh-huh. For how long?" Eggman asked as he smirked.

Sombra sighed and bent his head down towards the ground, "A few hours." He muttered.

"Heh heh. I had Canterlot under my control for a day at least. Not to mention that I had used the power of the Elements of Harmony, or what was left of their 'magic', to try rewrite all of reality." Eggman said.

This caught Otto's attention, "You nearly rewrote all reality?"

Eggman shrugged, "It wouldn't be the first time. I managed to erase time and space with a time monster under my control, I broke my planet apart to reawaken an ancient dark god, and I imprisoned a multitude of planets to submit them under my control thanks to alien energy."

The other two villains stared at the mad doctor with their eyes widened in disbelief.

"Wow." Sombra spoke up.

"Intriguing." Otto said.

Eggman then turned to Sombra, "Now, back to the matter at hand. Where are we exactly?"

"This is a void I like to call, the Ether. It's where dark beings like myself are sent to after they perish." Sombra revealed.

"And how, pretell, did you meet your demise?" Otto asked, curious.

"I had recently been resurrected from my previous defeat by a fool named Discord, who was disguised as the dreaded Father of Monsters, Grogar." Sombra explained.

"Ugh, I heard about Discord during my brief time on Equis. What an absolute joke! He is anything BUT the Spirit of Chaos! He wouldn't know what chaos was if it punched him in the face!" Eggman exclaimed.

"If I may continue? Anyway, I decided that I wouldn't play any role in that fools game. So I returned to the Crystal Empire and took it over for myself. Unfortunately, those blasted ponies got in my way and 'defeated' me. But in reality, they led me right to the source of their power. And I destroyed them!" Sombra went on, describing these events in great detail.

"Thanks for that, by the way." Eggman muttered, sarcastically.

Sombra rolled his eyes and continued, "So, I took over Canterlot and seized the throne to rule all of Equestria. But those annoying ponies somehow had the power of their Elements still residing within them and they used their power to tear me apart. And now you're all caught up."

Otto walked around with his thumb and index finger stroking his chin in thought, "Quite an interesting tale, Sombra."

Eggman stroked his moustache, "What about you, Otto? I'm assuming you've been bested by some do gooder who just can't take a hint?"

Octavius sighed and looked at the other two villains, "You assume correctly. I had recently completed a project I was working on for quite some time, The Neural Interface. It would help amputees move their replacement limbs by thinking, just like any normal limb. But, my former business partner and friend, Norman Osborn, took everything from me and was running for mayor. He cheated his way to where he is and I didn't find that fair. So, I freed five of New York's most notorious villains and we took over the city. I also released a deadly virus that quickly spread all over the city, I was victorious! For a time. My protégée betrayed me and stopped me from killing Osborn and locked me away like some animal!!! I've been imprisoned for nearly two years since then." Otto finished explaining.

Sombra looked impressed, "It seems to me that you know how to get things done, Otto. I'm impressed."

"We each have a thing in common. We try to make the world better for ourselves but some young upstarts get in the way of our vision and prevent us from claiming victory." Eggman surmised.

"What I don't get is how our plans failed. They were full proof!!!" Otto exclaimed.

"We're all geniuses in our own right. Alone we are a force to be reckoned with, imagine how powerful we'd be if our geniuses combined." Sombra inputted.

Suddenly, an evil smile found its way onto Eggman's face, "Now, there's a thought."

"What do you mean, Ivo?" Octavius asked.

"Sombra has a point. Alone we are powerful, but together, we'd be UNSTOPPABLE!!! I believe an alliance is in order. With our superior brains and power, we'd finally claim what is rightfully ours! We'd be invincible!!!" Eggman exclaimed.

Sombra then smiled evilly, "We'd be kings!!!"

Otto then smirked, "We'd be respected!!!"

"WE'D BE VICTORIOUS!!!" All three villains shouted in unison.

Orbot and Cubot just shook their heads, hearing this same speech from Eggman before.

Sombra then laughed evilly, "Just think! With our combined power, we could conquer all of Equestria!!!"

"Think bigger, Sombra. We could conquer all three of our worlds with ease." Otto said.

"You're both thinking too small. Why conquer three worlds? When we could conquer the ENTIRE MULTIVERSE!!!" Eggman exclaimed.

All three villains laughed evilly as a plan formed before them.

Eggman then began walking away from the group and waved his hand for them to follow, "Come, my new friends! We have multiple worlds to conquer."

"Uh, Ivo?" Otto said.

"How're we meant to escape this endless void?" Sombra finished.

Eggman then stopped dead in his tracks and slumped over.

"Crud." Eggman said.

"How're we meant to get out of here?" Otto asked.

Orbot then tried to get their attention.

"Um, excuse me?"

"If I had enough power, I could use my magic to free us." Sombra said.

"Um, sirs?"

"I don't suppose you have a solution, Ivo?" Otto asked.

"Um?"

"Unfortunately, I don't have the proper materials to create a gateway for us to escape into." Eggman said.

"BOSS!!!" Orbot shouted.

Eggman turned angrily, "WHAT?!"

Orbot then pointed behind them. They all turned and saw a tear in reality, coloured red.

They all turned back to the robots and chuckled in embarrassment.

"Um, WE KNEW THAT WAS THERE!" Eggman yelled quickly.

"Yes, we were just testing each other to see if we could escape if that portal wasn't there to aid our escape." Otto added.

"Yes, we aren't imbeciles who didn't notice the portal until now!" Sombra finished.

Orbot simply face palmed in response.

"Quit being a smart alec and SCAN THAT PORTAL!!!" Eggman ordered.

Orbot then floated to the portal and scanned it using his eyes. Once he had finished, he returned to the group of villains.

"The portal is stable enough for us to travel through." Orbot reported.

Eggman smiled evilly, "Excellent." He then turned to his new partners, "Shall we?"

They all smiled and walked through the portal, ready to put their machinations into action.

(End song)

The three villains stepped out of the rift and arrived in the command deck of Eggman's Final Fortress. The rift remained open behind them while Sombra and Octavius looked outside the window of the command deck, impressed that Eggman had built something of this magnitude.

"This is quite impressive, Ivo." Otto commented.

"Why, thank you, Otto." Eggman smiled at the compliment.

Sombra then chuckled evilly, "Now, our plan can finally be put into action."

"Yes, but there is an underlying problem." Otto pointed out.

"And what's that?" Eggman asked.

Octavius then stepped towards the rift with his hands behind his back, "How do we make sure that this rift doesn't just lead back to the Ether?"

Sombra then put a hoof to his chin, "Hmm. You raise a valid point, Otto."

Eggman then smiled and walked towards Otto, "Not to worry, We can just create an interdimensional gateway that connects to our three universes."

Octavius looked at the egg shaped doctor in surprise, "You sound like you've done this before."

"Believe me, Otto, when I say that this isn't the first time I've dealt with other universes. I have all that we need to create a fully operational interdimensional gateway right in this Final Fortress." He then turned to Sombra, who was walking towards the pair, "And with our three genius minds, we could have it fully operational by nightfall."

"That's excellent news!" Sombra stated.

"But I'll be needing something from my world on Earth." Otto said.

Eggman arched an eyebrow, "And what would that be?"

"My arms." Otto replied.

Sombra looked confused, "But you already have your arms."

Octavius pinched the bridge of his nose, "No, I mean my mechanical arms I use with the Neural Interface. If I have them here with me, we could get this done at a much faster pace."

Eggman then walked over to the computer console, "Say no more, my scientific friend."

Eggman typed in a few commands on his keyboard. It took a bit of effort to find Otto's dimension, but he eventually found the right frequency and activated the Matter Transporter. The laser gun descended from the ceiling and fired a white laser at the rift. After a flash of light, Octavius' mechanical arms, along with the Neural Interface, appeared on the floor of the command deck, tangled up.

Otto smiled and walked over and equipped his arms and the Neural Interface. The four arms then slowly emerged from his back and planted themselves on the floor and pushed upwards, lifting Doc Ock into the air.

"Now, let's get to work." Otto said.

After a few hours, the interdimensional gateway was nearly completed, it just needed a way to keep the rift stable enough for them to pass through safely.

Eggman then had an idea and turned to Sombra, "Sombra. Can you use some of your Dark Magic to keep the rift stable? You know, just in case."

Sombra smiled and nodded. He then lit up his horn and fired a green blast from his horn and it hit the rift. The gateway then dinged, signaling that it was ready for use.

Eggman laughed in victory, "Mwhahahahaha!!! A success! A brilliant success! We have created a fully functional interdimensional gateway!"

Otto then chuckled alongside him while Sombra laughed evilly.

Octavius then walked over to the gateway with his for arms and turned around to face his new allies, "We've done it! But there is a point that must be discussed."

"And that is?" Sombra asked.

"We need a base of operations." Otto stated.

"What about the Final Fortress?" Eggman suggested.

Otto shook his head, "No, it can't be anywhere in our three universes. We need to operate from a place where nobody would be able to access us."

"Like another dimension?" Sombra asked.

Eggman then had a thought, "No, like a dimension in between dimensions."

Otto arched an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"

"They're called Special Zones. Essentially, they are dimensions in between dimensions. Very difficult to access, and very rare. That would be the perfect place to operate from."

"But wouldn't that take too long to find? And even if we do, it would take too long to set up a suitable headquarters for us to operate in." Sombra pointed out.

"Ah, but that's where you're wrong. You see, time works differently in the Special Zones. One hour out here, equals one week in there." Eggman revealed.

"That would give us enough time to set up the base and gather up our forces." Otto said.

"Although it would take some time to find one, but we could create one. That alone could take around three weeks, even with all of our genius." Eggman said.

"If that's what it takes to claim what is mine, then so be it." Sombra said.

"Then, once we create our Special Zone, we can gather up our forces and finally strike against our enemies." Octavius added.

Sombra then turned to Otto, "I can mind control some warriors and Ivo has an endless army of robots to aid in our cause. Otto, do you have any ideas on who you could get to aid us in our conquest?"

Octavius then smiled, "Oh, I have an idea. A sinister idea."

Stay tuned

You don't wanna miss what happens next.

Raft Breakout

Thunder roared in the sky above New York as the storm showed no signs of letting up anytime soon. Peter swung from one building to another and landed on the roof of MJ's apartment building. He sighed and checked his phone to see what time it was. His eyes widened as he realised how late he was.

"Shoot! How did I lose track of time? *Sigh* Miles and MJ are probably waiting for me in the apartment." Peter said to himself as he made sure no one was around and took off his costume and placed it in a duffel bag he had hidden on the roof.

Now in civilian attire, Peter made sure the duffel bag was hidden and walked through the stairwell leading to the lower floors of the building.

He made his way to MJ's apartment and fixed his hair. He sighed and walked into the apartment.

Peter entered the apartment and saw Miles and MJ talking on the couch, waiting for Peter to arrive. They turned and smiled at him.

Peter chuckled nervously as Miles elbowed MJ in the arm, "Told ya he'd be late."

MJ elbowed him back and got off the couch and walked over to Peter, kissing him on the lips, which Peter happily returned.

They both parted lips and smiled at one another.

"Eh, better late than never." MJ said to Peter.

"Sorry I'm late." Peter apologised.

MJ giggled and wrapped her arms around Peter's neck, "Come on, dinner's waiting."

They all then walked to the table to eat.

While eating, Peter was telling Miles and MJ about his day as Spider-Man, he told them of the various break ins he stopped and how he stopped Kingpin's gun running business. After Peter finished talking, MJ asked Miles on how school was going. Miles told her all about it and then went on about how he stopped a robbery as Spider-Man earlier today.

"Wow, that's great, Miles." MJ congratulated.

Peter smiled as he set his fork down, "You've greatly improved since you've become Spider-Man, Miles."

"Well, I had a good teacher." Miles replied.

They were about to continue talking, but they were interrupted by a breaking news forecast. The TV showed a picture of The Raft on fire. MJ then walked over to the couch and picked up the TV remote. She turned the volume up so they could all hear what the Newscaster said.

"Breaking news. It has just been reported in that the supermax prison known as The Raft, is currently under attack. Police correspondance are currently being dispatched to aid the guards at The Raft in securing the situation. We'll bring you more as the story develops."

Peter then stood up from his seat and turned to Miles, who also stood up.

"Ready to go to work?" Peter asked.

Miles smirked, "Do you even need to ask?"

MJ then got out her laptop and sat on the couch, "I'll monitor the situation from here. Go get 'em, you two."

They both nodded in response. Peter walked out of the apartment and made his way to the roof, he then unzipped his duffel bag while Miles went to the bathroom and took out his backpack and unzipped it, revealing his Spider-Man costume.

A few moments later, Miles leaped out of the window as Peter jumped from the roof, both in costume, and swung through the city, making their way towards The Raft to help in anyway they can.

(End song)

The guards at The Raft were being pushed back by a horde of escaped convicts. The guards had their shields raised, blocking the convicts as they shoved them back with a man made wall. On a nearby rooftop, a convict had gotten into the armory and stolen a rocket launcher. He aimed the RPG at the guards and prepared to fire, only for the RPG to be webbed out of his hands by Peter, as Miles landed on the roof and kicked him in the face.

Peter landed next to Miles and looked down towards the guards and convicts.

Peter then turned to Miles, "You ready for this?"

Miles nodded, "Let's do this."

They both then jumped down to the ground below behind them and caught the convicts attention.

"Is this a private party or can anyone join?" Peter joked.

The convicts then turned and glared at the two Spider-Men. They then charged towards the mob of criminals, the convicts doing the same.

(End song)

Peter jumped into the air and shot two ropes of web at the biggest convict there and pulled him into the air. He then punched and kicked the criminal in mid air and then fired another shot of web and slammed him on the ground in between a group of criminals, causing them to leap out of the way as the big guy crashed down.

Miles ran forward directly towards the horde of criminals, his hands glowing with electricity. He then leaped into the air and slammed his electrified fist onto the ground, using his Venom Smash ability to send all the criminals flying back. Miles' Spider Sense then went off, notifying him that a criminal was trying to sneak up on him.

Miles backflipped over the criminal and shot two ropes of web at the ground and pulled back. He then loosened his grip and shot downward and kicked the goon in the back, knocking him down to the ground.

Peter then saw a barrel nearby and shot some web at it. He then began swinging it around in the air, once it had enough momentum, he released the barrel and sent it hurling towards a group of convicts heading his way. The barrel knocked down two of the four criminals, the other two still charging forward.

Miles then ran forward and jumped into the air as Peter grabbed the other convict with his web and pulled him towards him.

Miles kicked the convict in the face as Peter punched the criminal in the face. The two convicts landed on the ground, both unconscious.

(End song)

(Play from 2:05 to end)

Peter and Miles then looked forward and saw a giant metal door up ahead, leading further into the prison.

"Come on! We gotta make sure no more criminals get loose!" Peter said to Miles.

"Right!" Miles replied.

They both ran towards the door, but as they approached, the door suddenly exploded, sending the two wall crawlers flying back. They sat up and looked towards the door, from the flames inside, a giant metal tentacle shot out and slammed on the ground. Then the other three shot out as Doctor Octopus emerged from the flames.

Peter's eyes widened while Miles sat there in shock of who was before him.

"Dr. Octavius?!" Peter shouted in shock.

Otto chuckled and smiled at the two wall crawlers, "Hello, Peter."

The two heroes stood back up as Otto spread out his two human arms and gestured to the destruction around them, "Beautiful, isn't it?"

Peter walked slowly towards Otto, "Otto, you caused this?"

Otto chuckled, "Not alone, but yes."

"Otto. Please don't do this. Don't make me fight you again." Peter pleaded.

Otto chuckled and shook his head, "Sorry, Parker. But the gears are already in motion. I won't let you take what's mine again."

Otto then pointed his thumb over his shoulder, "And neither will they."

Suddenly, The Vulture flew overhead and landed next to Otto. Electro landed after a bolt of lightning shot down on the ground. Scorpion crawled over the wall of the prison and leaped off of it and landed next to the others. Rhino smashed through a wall to the Spider's left and charged right towards them. They both jumped into the air to avoid the tanking villain. Mr. Negative then jumped down from a nearby roof and landed next to the others as Rhino walked over as well.

Both of the heroes' eyes were widened, The Sinister Six stood before them, freed from their cells. Electro then began charging up electricity in both of his hands as he began to walk forward, but Otto stopped him with one of his mechanical arms, holding it in front of him.

"Leave them for now." Otto then turned to both Spider-Men, "We have business to attend to."

Suddenly, a portal opened behind the Sinister Six. Five of the villains turned around and gawked at the portal.

"What is that?" Electro asked.

Otto smiled as he turned around, "Our ticket out of here."

Peter's eyes then opened up further, they were about to escape, "NO!!!"

Peter and Miles then ran forward, but Mr. Negative turned around and shot a massive wave of negative energy at the two heroes. Unable to dodge in time, they were both sent flying through the air and crashed down onto the ground.

Otto chuckled as The Sinister Six entered the portal, but before Otto entered, he turned and smirked at Peter, "See you around, Parker."

Octavius then entered the portal. Peter then quickly got up and web zipped towards the portal, but he was too late as it closed just as he reached it. He landed on the ground in a crouched position, he then punched the ground below him in frustration.

Miles sighed in defeat as The Raft's alarms blared around them and the fire crackled.

(End song)

The Sinister Six stepped out of the portal and arrived in the villain's base of operations. The group of villains looked around at the base, Vulture then turned to Octavius.

"Where are we?" Vulture asked.

Otto then used his arms to walk forward past The Vulture, "We are in a dimension between dimensions. A Special Zone, as it's called. One of our own creation."

Rhino scratched his head in confusion, "Uh, what?"

Otto then turned around to face his team, "Welcome, to NETHER WORLD!!!"

Otto then walked further into the base with the others following close behind. They entered the Badnik production room and saw the robots being made. They walked through several rooms until they reached the monitor room, where Sombra and Eggman were waiting.

The two villains turned around and faced The Sinister Six.

"Ah, Otto. I see you have arrived with our associates." Eggman stated.

Suddenly, Electro bursted out laughing. They all turned as he laughed hysterically.

"Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait! IS THAT A UNICORN?! AHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Electro laughed at the appearance of Sombra.

Electro's laughter was cut short by a blast from Sombra's horn, which sent him flying through the air and hitting the wall. Electro landed on the ground and the rest of the villains turned to Sombra.

"Hmph. Imbecile." Sombra muttered.

Otto then walked towards Eggman, "So, I've brought my team. Where's yours?"

Eggman then stroked his moustache and chuckled, "Heh Heh. Don't you worry about that, Otto." Eggman then held up a purple shell, which was within his hand, "My team is so deadly, it's not even funny."

Author's Note

The villain's are gathering their forces.

What will happen after that?

Stay tuned to find out.

A Deadly Reunion

A portal opened somewhere in the Lost Hex. A certain egg shaped doctor stepped out of it, holding his Cacophonic Conch in his hand. He found himself in an open field, with the air breezing over him.

Eggman then stroked his moustache, "Now if I were six angry Zeti, where would I be?"

"You've made a mistake returning here, you fat fool!" A voice snarled behind him.

Eggman turned around and saw Zavok land down on the ground in front of him. Eggman then saw five more Zeti land behind their leader. Zazz laughed maniacally towards the mad doctor. Zeena filed her nails, not really caring about the situation. Zor stared down towards the ground, questioning life. Zomom ate his giant sandwich. And Master Zik jumped into the air and front flipped onto Zavok's shoulder.

Eggman smiled as the team he was looking for stood before him. The Deadly Six.

"Ah, The Deadly Six. Just the Zeti's I've been looking for." Eggman said, happy to have found those he was looking for.

Zavok growled and stomped forward towards Eggman, "You've got some nerve showing your face here."

Zazz then laughed and stepped forward next to Zavok, "Now that you're here, I won't be as bored now. I'll occupy myself by TEARING YOU APART!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

The Deadly Six then approached the mad doctor slowly. Eggman chuckled and smiled evilly, much to their confusion.

"Why are you smiling? Don't you see that your inevitable death is approaching?" Zor asked depressingly.

Eggman chuckled again, "Did you really think that I'd come here unprepared?"

Eggman then showed them the Cacophonic Conch and they reeled back in fear. Eggman then smiled and blew into the Conch. This caused the Zeti a great deal of pain as they covered their ears and fell to the floor in pain.

Eggman stopped blowing into the Conch and chuckled, "Now that we've established who's in control here, I shall ask. Who's the boss?" Eggman asked as he smiled.

Zavok looked up at the egg shaped doctor and snarled in anger. Eggman noticed this and frowned as he used the Conch on them once again. They all screamed in pain and clutched their ears, squirming on the ground.

Eggman ceased and glared at the Zeti, "I'll ask again. Who's the boss?"

Zavok growled and reluctantly answered, "Y...You are, Master."

Eggman smiled, "Good, now then. On to business."

The Deadly Six stood up as Eggman began explaining to them why he was here.

"You're all going to help me and my allies in our conquest, no questions asked. You'll do everything we tell you with no hesitation or debate. If you so much as even think about betraying us, then I will not hesitate to put all six of you in a holding cell and have the Conch play in your cells twenty-four seven. Consider your punishment of endless torture before you think of betraying me again. DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?!" Eggman asked.

When none of them responded, Eggman growled and raised the Conch towards his face and threatened to use it again, causing them to whimper slightly.

"I said, DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?!!!" Eggman repeated.

They all reluctantly nodded and kneeled before him.

"We're at your service, Master." Zavok growled.

"Good." Eggman replied.

Suddenly, a portal opened behind Eggman, which confused the six Zeti while Eggman simply smiled.

"Come with me. I don't have all day." Eggman ordered.

They all growled in anger as they reluctantly followed Eggman through the portal.

"So, let me get this straight. You teamed up with a unicorn and an egg shaped genius from two different universes, so you three could take over every other universe?" Scorpion recapped.

Otto crossed his two human arms over his chest while his four mechanical ones held him in the air by planting themselves on the floor.

"An accurate summarization, Gargan." Otto replied.

The rest of The Sinister Six looked at each other, Otto then cleared his throat and recaptured their attention.

"Do not worry yourselves. You'll each get your debts paid when we're done. The mission may have changed, but I'm still a man of my word." Otto revealed.

Sombra heard this and walked over, "Otto, why are you giving your underlings a choice in the matter? They should feel honoured to be even considered for this mission."

The Sinister Six glared at the unicorn. Electro's hands sparked with electricity as he approached Sombra.

"What did you just call us, you sack of horse-" Otto put one of his mechanical arms in front of Electro to stop him from attacking Sombra.

Octavius then turned to Sombra, "They are not my underlings, Sombra. They are my team, we are equal. Each of them had a price for their assistance, and I shall happily pay them their debts. After all, like I said. I'm a man of my word."

Sombra grumbled, obviously having a different opinion on the matter, but decided against voicing it.

Electro then powered down as Otto removed his mechanical arm.

Otto then addressed his team, "Now then. Each of you will have our entire armory at your disposal. Use whatever you choose wisely and try not to kill each other." He then turned to Mr. Negative, "Martin, I believe it would be beneficial if you gathered up whatever remains of your Demon Gang to aid us in our mission, wouldn't you agree?"

Martin Li nodded in response, "I'll see what I can do. Just know this, Otto. I know we both want Osborn to suffer, but I get him first."

Otto nodded, "Very well, I'll have a portal ready as soon as Ivo returns."

Otto then noticed Scorpion and Rhino glaring at each other. Gargan then turned to Doc Ock, "I ain't working with this overgrown child again!"

Rhino stomped his foot down and got in Scorpions face, "WHAT DID YOU SAY, GARGAN?!"

Otto sighed and separated the two with two of his arms, "Don't worry about that. You won't be working with each other."

The others were confused by this.

"What do you mean? I don't have a problem working with V again. We make an awesome team!" Electro said.

Vulture nodded, "I concur, Octavius. But I am curious, if we are not collaborating with one another, then who are we collaborating with?"

Otto smiled as a portal opened up on the other side of the room. The Sinister Six turned as Otto gestured to the portal with his left hand.

"You'll be working with them." Otto said.

Eggman and The Deadly Six then stepped out of the portal. The portal closed and Eggman walked towards Otto and Sombra while The Deadly Six took notice of their surroundings. It was then, that The Deadly Six and The Sinister Six took notice of each other.

"What are they supposed to be?" Rhino asked.

"They look like bootleg Pokemon." Electro joked.

Eggman then reached Otto and Sombra.

"Is that them?" Sombra asked.

"Yes, it's them. Did you make sure to enchant all of our electronics so that they don't take control of them?" Eggman asked Sombra.

Sombra nodded, causing Eggman to smile.

Otto then walked in between the two teams and introduced them, "My Sinister Six. Meet The Deadly Six."

The two teams then walked towards each other and met in the middle.

Electro then turned to the trio of masterminds, "They don't look like much."

Zavok then chuckled, "I was just about to say the exact same thing about you."

Sombra then cleared his throat and got their attention, "Enough! There will be no fighting amongst ourselves. Understood?!"

They all grumbled in response, but nodded.

Otto then clasped his hand together, "Excellent. Now, shall we begin?"

Eggman smiled, "Yes, but I have one last addition to our little team."

They all looked confused and were about to ask what he meant, but were interrupted by the door sliding open. They all saw a pair of sinister red eyes glaring into the room. Then, the figure walked into the room, revealing a new Metal Sonic model.

"I'd like to introduce you all to my latest creation and the last member of our team. METALLIX!!!" Eggman exclaimed as Metallix's eyes glowed brighter.

(End song)

Stay tuned for the conclusion of Act 1

(Act 1 Finale) War On Three Fronts (Part 1)

Twilight walked through the doors of her throne room and walked towards her throne, sadly with her head facing down. She was feeling even more lonely than before and it showed. She raised her head, revealing tears that were threatening to burst. She looked towards the throne, which was was looking brighter than normal due to the sunlight shining through the windows.

She then thought about how much her and her friends had drifted apart ever since she became Princess of Equestria. It was official, she was starting to regret accepting the position. The way she saw it, the cons out weighed the pros in this scenario. She saw her friends less, and they started growing apart even further with every passing moment. She's stressing out more than ever with all of the duties of a Princess and all of the diplomatic problems that she had to resolve. Tears then began falling as she thought of the little time she and her friends spent together nowadays, she believes that every second that she spends as Princess, that's more time with her friends that she'll never get back.

Soon they'll grow old, but that's when her eyes widened in realization. Her friends will grow old and eventually die. But she won't. She's an alicorn. An immortal. She was going to outlive them. She was going to eventually watch all of her friends die. Tears were streaming down both of her cheeks as she was openly sobbing now.

She then looked up and saw the throne once again. Her anger built up more so than ever as she gritted her teeth and ignited her horn. She got into a crouching position and screamed in anger as she fired a beam of magic directly at the throne. The beam hit and the throne exploded into pieces. Twilight then levitated her crown off of her head with her magic and hurled it across the room and ran out of the throne room in a sobbing mess.

As Twilight sprinted down the hallway, she passed Spike, who was already making his way over to the throne room. He turned around as Twilight passed him and looked at her with worry evident on his face.

"Twi? What's wrong? TWI!?" Spike shouted as he flapped his wings and flew after her.

Twilight blasted the castle doors off of their hinges and ran out of the castle with Spike flying close behind her. Twilight then took to the air and flew high in the sky with Spike flying after her.

Twilight eventually flew for long enough that she started to feel tired and set herself down in a nearby alleyway. Spike landed behind her and ran over to her and embraced her in a hug.

"Twilight, what's wrong?" Spike asked, worry evident thanks to his tone of voice.

Twilight sniffled and wiped her eyes with her hoof and choked back a sob, "I miss my friends, Spike. (Sniff) I miss Ponyville. I (sniff) I miss being a unicorn, I miss The Castle of Friendship, I miss Sonic and Tails! I hate being Princess, Spike. I HATE IT!!!!" Twilight then broke down into tears once again as she fell into the young dragon's arms.

She cried into Spike's shoulder as he rubbed her back, shushing her, telling her that it was all going to be okay.

"Shh shh shh. It'll be okay, Twilight. It'll be okay." Spike soothed.

After a few minutes, Twilight had eventually calmed down, although she was still sniffling and holding back tears. Spike took Twilight's hoof in his left hand and led her out of the alleyway. They left the alleyway and found themselves in the middle of the street.

Spike turned around and saw that Twilight had calmed down a little bit. He smiled at her, to which she replied with a small smile of her own.

The nice moment between the two friends were interrupted by an explosion two buildings down. They looked over to where the explosion occurred and saw ponies running away in fear. Twilight then saw a horde of robots walk out of the flames.

These were the newly made Egg Gunners. A mixture of technology from both Eggman and Doc Ock.

Twilight readied her horn, but Spike gasped behind her, causing her to turn around. She then saw that even more Egg Gunners were walking towards the two with their guns readied. They were surrounded, with Egg Gunners in every direction. If Twilight wasn't nervous before, she certainly is now.

Meanwhile, while all this is going on, four figures are standing on top of Canterlot Castle. These figures are none other than Electro, Zavok, Metallix, and King Sombra. Sombra stepped forward and admired the destruction going on down below. He smiled triumphantly while Zavok crossed his arms over his chest.

Electro noticed this and turned to the Zeti.

"Hey, cheer up, why don't ya?"

Zavok scoffed at the electrified villain, "There is nothing to be cheerful for. My kind are being forced into servitude to aid these fools in their deluded dreams of conquest. You and your team are here of your own free will, you get a choice and a reward, while we get nothing."

Electro shrugged, "That may be true. But it don't mean you can't have fun with it. Cause a bit of chaos and destruction, it'll be fun."

Metallix's eyes glowed brightly as Electro said that.

Electro took that as a sign of agreement, "See? Even the tinker toy gets it."

(End song)

Sombra turned around to face the other villains, "Enough talk. It is time to enact the rest of the plan. I shall gather more warriors for our cause. The rest of you will head to Princess Twilight's sweet little home town, Ponyville, and destroy it."

Electro then face palmed, "Ugh, Ponyville, seriously? Is every city and country named after a horse related pun?"

Sombra then frowned, "Unfortunately, yes." Sombra then turned around to face the city, "Now, go to Ponyville, and leave nothing standing. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Sombra laughed as he transformed into his Shadow Form and flew off into the sky.

Electro then took flight with Metallix flying right behind him. Zavok then sighed and turned his head to the left and saw his robot dragon flying towards him.

Zavok jumped off of the castle and landed on the robot dragon's back and headed towards Ponyville.

(End song)

Meanwhile, on Mobius. Sonic had just entered Amy's house, just in time for the party she was throwing. He dashed through the door and skidded to a stop right in front of Amy.

Amy had a deadpanned look on her face, "Sonic! You skidded dirt all through my house!" Amy complained.

Sonic raised a brow and looked down to his feet and sure enough, he had skidded dirt all the through the house.

He looked back up and chuckled nervously while rubbing the back of his head, "Heh heh. Sorry, Ames."

Suddenly, he was smacked on the back by Knuckles. Sonic turned around towards him and the two friends shared a fist bump.

"So, I guess some things will never change. Like Sonic not knowing how to make a mess everywhere he goes." Knuckles joked.

"Yeah, kinda like you falling for Eggman's lies and letting him steal the Master Emerald." Sonic countered.

Knuckles' face then turned into a frown and he walked away grumbling, "It only happened eight or nine times."

Sonic then walked into the living room and saw who was at this party.

The party consisted of Tails, Knuckles, Cream & Cheese, Blaze, Silver, The Chaotix, Rouge, Omega, Vanilla, Amy, Big the cat, and of course, Sonic himself.

As the party went on, Sonic noticed Tails fidgeting with his Miles Electric. Sonic then walked over and sat on the couch with his best friend.

"What're you doing, bud?"

Tails smiled and turned to his friend. He then showed him the photo they took with the Mane 6 just after the race between Sonic and Rainbow Dash. Everyone was smiling, all huddled together, except for Rainbow, who was in the air pouting. The two friends then laughed together at the nice memory.

Sonic then wrapped his arm around Tails, "I miss 'em too. Maybe once we find that rift again, we can go visit them?" Sonic suggested.

Tails beamed at that, "I'd like that."

They then heard Amy walking over with a concerned look on her face.

"Sonic? Where's Shadow?" Amy asked.

Rouge heard this and walked over, "Brooding over in Station Square. Specifically the largest building in the city. It's his favourite brooding spot."

"How do you know that?" Sonic asked with a smirk on his face.

Rouge shrugged, "He told me so in confidence."

Amy frowned and turned to Sonic, "Sonic, could you please go and get him?"

"Amy, if he doesn't wanna be here, just let him be." Sonic replied.

Amy didn't look happy, "Well could you at least ask him?"

Sonic sighed and got off of the couch and turned towards the door.

"I'll be back in a flash." Sonic said as he zoomed out of the house and made his way towards Station Square.

Shadow watched over the city of Station Square from the ledge of the building with his arms crossed. It was quiet, which was what he wanted, just some peace and quiet. He was deep in thought as he closed his eyes and a smirk found its way onto his face.

He instantly frowned as he heard Sonic stomp onto the roof behind him.

"Hey, there's my favourite edgelord." Sonic quipped.

Shadow sighed and opened his eyes, "What do you want, faker?"

Sonic frowned slightly at that, "Well it's nice to see you too." He said sarcastically.

Sonic then walked towards Shadow, "I'd just thought I'd come and bug ya."

Shadow sighed again, "Well, you're doing a wonderful job."

Sonic stepped onto the ledge Shadow was standing on and stood beside him.

"Aw, come on. Don't be like that, edgey the hedgey." Sonic quipped.

Shadow just growled in annoyance, "How'd you find me, anyway?"

"A little birdy told me that this was one of your favourite brooding spots." Sonic replied.

Shadow arched a brow at that, "Rouge?"

"Rouge." Sonic smirked.

Shadow sighed in annoyance.

Sonic then turned his head to Shadow, "So, there's this party-"

"Pass." Shadow said blatantly.

Sonic frowned at that, "Seriously, Shadow?"

"Seriously." Shadow replied.

"Why?" Sonic asked.

"None of your business." Shadow stated.

Sonic growled a little bit.

"Could you just consider it?"

"No."

Sonic was getting frustrated now, "Look, if you could just-"

Sonic was then cut off by a nearby explosion that went off in downtown.

Both hedgehog's eyes widened and they turned to one another. Shadow then jumped off of the building and used Chaos Control to teleport to the ground while Sonic ran down the side of the building.

Shadow skated down the road with Sonic running alongside him. Shadow had a look of determination on his face while Sonic had one of concern.

"Shadow! We need a plan!" Sonic shouted as they made their way towards downtown.

"I have a plan. Eliminate all opposing forces that threaten the innocent." Shadow replied.

Sonic looked peeved now, "DON'T TALK TO ME LIKE I'M ONE OF YOUR G.U.N OFFICERS, FAKER!!!"

Shadow loved talking that way to Sonic as it annoyed the hedgehog beyond relief. It was a rare occurrence, but it was one he enjoyed very much.

"Sorry, what was that? You're gonna have to speak up." Shadow quipped as he boosted towards the point of the explosion, downtown.

"SHADOW!!!" Sonic screamed in annoyance as he boosted towards downtown, following Shadow.

(End song)

Shadow and Sonic had arrived downtown and they both skidded to a stop. They saw Eggman floating in the air in his Egg Mobile with his arms crossed. He turned around to face the to hedgehogs.

"Ah, Sonic and Shadow! Just the rodents I wanted to see!" Eggman greeted.

Shadow then stepped forward, "It's over, Doctor! Surrender your forces and you won't be harmed." Shadow then clenched his fists and smirked, "Much."

Eggman then put his index finger to his chin in a mocking fashion, "Yeah, how 'bout no?"

Sonic then stepped forward, "So, EggHead? What robot are you using on us this time? The Egg Dragoon? The Egg Hornet? The Egg Golem?"

Eggman then smirked, "Oh? You think I'm fighting you?"

Both hedgehogs looked confused at that.

Eggman then laughed evilly, "I'm not fighting you two." Eggman then spread his arms out wide, "THEY ARE!!!"

Suddenly, The Vulture landed in front of the two hedgehogs, surprising them both. Scorpion then fired some acid from his tail towards the two hedgehogs. Shadow saw this and quickly tackled Sonic out of the way. Scorpion then jumped from the roof he was on and landed next to Vulture. Zor then walked out of the shadows with a dying flower in his hand and walked over and stood beside Scorpion. Zeena then jumped down from a building and landed next to Zor.

They all glared at the hedgehogs, who got into a battle stance and glared right back at the villains. This fight was gonna be a tough one.

Spider-Man swung through Midtown Manhattan in search of Otto and The Sinister Six, but so far, he's found nothing. He released his grip on his web and stuck to the side of a building and called Miles with his phone.

Miles answered the phone, "Yeah, Pete?"

"Miles, have you found anything?" Peter asked.

"Nothing yet, Pete. I'll keep looking though"

Peter was about to reply but was interrupted by an explosion coming from the top of Oscorp Tower. Peter's eyes widened in realization.

"Miles, get to Oscorp Tower. I think I found them." Peter stated.

"I'll get there as fast as I can!" Miles replied.

Peter then hung up the phone and swung towards Oscorp to stop Otto.

(End song)

(Play from 2:32 to 2:53)

Otto had Osborn in the grasp of one of his mechanical arms, tightening his grip around the businessman. Otto chuckled as he brought Norman towards the shattered window and hung him over the edge of the building. Otto then saw Peter swinging towards the building at a fast rate.

Otto smiled as he dropped Norman out of the building. Peter's eyes widened as he quickly dove down towards Osborn. He shot a line of web and pulled Norman towards him and grabbed the businessman and swung him to the ground below.

Osborn landed on the ground harshly and quickly sprinted off, without thanking Spider-Man.

"A thank you would've been nice!" Peter exclaimed towards Osborn.

(Start from 2:15)

Suddenly, his Spider Sense went off, alerting to something behind him. He quickly flipped over in the air as Rhino passed under him. Peter landed in a crouched position and saw Rhino come to a stop, right next to Mr. Negative, Master Zik, Zazz, Zomom, and Doc Ock as he climbed down from the tower thanks to his arms.

Peter's eyes then frowned as he crouched down further, ready for a fight.

"Well, this is gonna be fun." Peter quipped.

Author's Note

Part 2 of the conclusion to Act 1 is next.

Stay tuned.

(Act 1 Finale) War On Three Fronts (Part 2)

Twilight and Spike were surrounded by several Egg Gunners. Every direction they looked, there was an Egg Gunner standing there, with their gun aimed right at them. Twilight then made the first move and released a burst of magic that sent the robots flying back.

Spike then took to the air and released a breath of fire, it didn't do much, but it gave Twilight the chance to create a wall of magic with her horn and push it to the group of robots. She slammed the robots into the wall of a nearby building with her wall of magic, destroying the Egg Gunners.

Twilight smiled proudly, but Spike got her attention by screaming for her to look out. She turned and her eyes widened as an Egg Gunner aimed its gun at the alicorn. Twilight quickly teleported into the air as the Egg Gunner fired its gun. The gun shot bullets at very high speeds, demolishing the wall that was behind Twilight.

Twilight then encased the robot in a bubble and hurled it into the air. Once high enough, Twilight popped the bubble and the robot fell to the ground, exploding on impact. Spike breathed some green fire, which created a wall of flames that blocked the oncoming Egg Gunners. Twilight then looked down and fired a beam of magic at the group of Egg Gunners, destroying them.

Twilight then landed on the ground and turned around, only to be approached by seven men in demon masks.

The majority of them were holding guns, but two of them were holding swords, which the blades of those swords were engulfed in a negative flame, while one of them held two whips which were also engulfed in a negative flame.

Twilight then took a step back in slight fear.

"Who are these guys?" Twilight thought to herself.

She suddenly squeaked as four of the Demon Thugs fired their guns, firing negative flame bullets soaring towards Twilight. Twilight quickly teleported out of the way and appeared next to Spike. The pair then ran away towards the edge of the city with the Demon Thugs following close behind them.

Spike turned his head to Twilight as they ran, "WHO ARE THESE GUYS, TWILIGHT?!"

Twilight turned to Spike and replied, "I DON'T KNOW!!! I DON'T KNOW!!!"

They eventually made it to the edge of the city and turned around to face the group of Demons that threatened their well being. Twilight and Spike gulped as the two sword Demons charged forward towards the two. Twilight thought quickly and teleported her and Spike out of their way.

The two thugs skidded to a stop and turned around to face Twilight and Spike. The whip Demon then tried to hit the two friends, but Twilight and Spike took to the air, big mistake. The whip Demon then grabbed their legs and brought them back down to the ground.

The two landed harshly on the ground and struggled to get up. The Demons approached, ready to finish them. Twilight then gritted her teeth as she turned to face them. She ignited her horn and sent a blast of magic that sent the Demons flying off of the edge of Canterlot.

Twilight and Spike sighed in relief and got to their feet/hooves. They walked to the edge of the city and gasped at what they saw. They saw massive sparks of yellow electricity and several explosions originating from Ponyville.

"THAT'S PONYVILLE!!!" Spike exclaimed.

Twilight looked fearful and began charging up a teleportation spell, but she was interrupted by a helicopter that rose up from the edge of the city. The side door opened and a Demon Thug, who was on the mounted gun, aimed said gun at the two.

"Uh oh." Twilight muttered before she quickly grabbed Spike with her magic and placed him on her back.

She quickly took to the air as the mounted gun fired. Twilight flew over the helicopter and headed towards Ponyville. The helicopter then turned around and followed them towards Ponyville.

(End song)

Down in Ponyville, Applejack bucked an Egg Gunner into a nearby wall while Rainbow Dash flew right through a line up of them at high speeds and landed next to Applejack. The two friends nodded at one another as they were quickly surrounded by Egg Gunners.

Applejack then turned her head to Rainbow, "A'll give ya one guess as to who's behind this mess!!!"

Rainbow smirked, "Looks like EggHead is back in town. Didn't he get the memo the last time he invaded Equis?"

"Apparently not." Said a voice.

Suddenly, the robots were turned into chocolate milk and splashed onto the ground. Rainbow and Applejack looked up and saw Discord and Fluttershy land on the ground.

"Ugh, I hate sequels." Discord muttered.

A group of Egg Gunners then walked towards the small group with their guns raised. They group readied themselves, except for Fluttershy, who cowered behind Discord, who offered a small smile for comfort.

Discord was about to snap his fingers, but didn't as the Egg Gunners were suddenly wrapped up in confetti and then were blasted apart by a beam of magic.

They all turned and saw Pinkie Pie and Rarity galloping over towards the group.

"Sorry we're late, but the author had to come up with a way to introduce us." Pinkie stated.

Everyone looked at the pink mare in confusion before turning to one another.

"Well, it seems that ruffian, Eggman has returned." Rarity said.

Rainbow shrugged, "Eh, I'm not complaining. I enjoyed kicking his butt the last time he was here."

"Oh....um....I kinda wished Eggman would have stayed away." Fluttershy said.

"I never even met the guy the last time he was here." Discord then turned to.....me? "Thanks for that by the way. You couldn't have found a better way to integrate me in the last story?"

Hey! You're here now, so I wouldn't be complaining if I were you, Discord. Keep it up and I'll make you sit on the sidelines again.

Discord sighed and stuck his tongue out at me and turned to the others, who were confused beyond belief.

(End song)

Suddenly, a yellow bolt of lightning was shot at the group. The lightning bolt hit the group and they were sent back. They landed harshly on the ground and sat back up and looked at their attackers.

They all then saw Electro land down on the ground, hands crackling with electricity. Zavok then flew down on his robot dragon, he jumped off of it and landed next to Electro. Zavok pounded his fists together as Metallix landed next to the Zeti with his arms crossed.

All of their eyes widened as they heard a familiar laughter. They looked up and saw Sombra in his shadow form as he hovered down in front of the group of villains. He then returned to his pony form and gave the group of heroes an evil smile.

They all gasped as Sombra laughed evilly.

"KING SOMBRA?!!!" They all shouted in unison.

"Well, well, well. What do we have here? Some foolish mares who don't know when to quit?" Sombra then stepped forward towards the group, "You are not on your knees. It is unwise to not kneel to your king when he is in your presence."

Dash then stomped her hooves on the ground, "WE'LL NEVER KNEEL TO YOU, YOU JERK!!!"

"How are ya even alive?" Applejack asked.

Sombra then chuckled, "Oh, I had a little help." He then gestured his hoof to Metallix, letting them all know who had exactly revived him.

"Eggman." Rainbow and Applejack growled angrily.

"Hm hm hm hm hm. And now, for your constant interference with our affairs. You shall be executed for all three worlds to see!!!" Sombra exclaimed.

They all then tilted their heads in confusion, what did he mean by three worlds? Discord then stepped forward and cracked his fingers.

"Alrighty then. Time for Discord to save the day." He then turned his head to the ponies, "You're welcome, by the way."

Discord then snapped his fingers. His eyes widened as he snapped again. Nothing was happening. Sombra laughed as Discord kept snapping his fingers, hoping something would happen.

Discord then glared at Sombra, "What have you done?"

Sombra smiled, "Oh nothing. Except for the fact that we have these."

Sombra gestured to his left and they turned to see a group of Demons place a generator with a yellow electric field, courtesy of Electro, on the ground.

"What you see before you, is a Chaos Dampener. It took some time, but eventually, we programmed it to cancel out any form of Chaos Energy. Including the Chaos Emeralds and your Chaos Magic. You're welcome."

Rarity then stepped forward, "You won't get away with this, you ruffian!"

Sombra chuckled, "Oh? I already have! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" He then turned to the other villains, "Kill them all!"

(End song)

Electro then took to the air, surrounded by yellow electricity, "WITH PLEASURE!!!" He then fired a blast of electricity from his left hand. They thought quickly and spread out to avoid the electricity.

Rainbow was about to fly up there and attack Electro, but she was suddenly tackled by Metallix, who pummeled her into a wall. He held her throat in his hand and tightened his grip.

"Nrgh, nice to see you too, Metal." Rainbow said, she then kicked him off of her and took to the air with Metallix chasing her.

Zavok then leaped into the air and smashed his right fist down on the ground, spreading the rest of the group out. Discord chuckled and snapped his fingers, only for nothing to happen.

"Oh, you've gotta be kidding me." He muttered before he was punched in the face by Zavok.

Applejack then threw her lasso around Zavok's wrist. She tried to keep him in her grip but Zavok pulled the lasso with his wrist and grabbed Applejack by the neck and slammed her onto the ground.

"Pathetic." Zavok muttered.

Pinkie pulled out her Party Cannon and jumped in, but not before lighting it with a match. The cannon then fired, sending Pinkie towards Electro. Electro chuckled as he created an electric shield around him. Pinkie hit the shield and got electrocuted. As she was screaming, Electro then blasted her with some electricity from his hands.

She crashed down onto the ground, moaning in pain. Electro then saw Fluttershy running towards her fallen friend. Electro then flew down towards the ground and landed in front of Fluttershy. She backed away in fear as Electro approached her slowly. His hands then began crackling with yellow electricity as he got closer.

Discord got up and saw Electro approaching Fluttershy. He gritted his teeth and quickly flew over there.

Electro then raised his electrified hands, "Nighty night, pony." He then fired two shot of electricity towards Fluttershy, but before she got hit, Discord jumped in front of her and took the attack for her. He screamed in pain as Electro continued to electrocute him. Tears were in Fluttershy's eyes as Discord finally fell to the ground.

She rushed over to his side and began shaking him, begging him to wake up. She then looked up and saw Electro raise his hand in front of her face. He smiled as he fired some electricity, knocking her out.

Zavok threw Applejack into the side of a building, creating a dent where she remained. She tried to get up but Zavok charged over there and punched her in her torso. He then punched again, and again, and again. He then grabbed her by the throat and threw her to the other side of the street.

Applejack gritted her teeth as she struggled to get up. She eventually did and glared at Zavok. She then screamed in anger as she galloped over to the Zeti and leaped into the air and reeled back a punch. Zavok responded by backhanding her away.

She rolled on the ground and stopped in the centre of the street. She tried to get up, but eventually fell to the ground, defeated.

Sombra and Rarity both fired beams of magic from their horns and they both collided together. They both struggled for victory as the beams tried to overpower one another. Sombra smiled evilly while Rarity gritted her teeth.

Sombra eventually overpowered Rarity and sent her flying through the air. She then landed right in front of the Carousel Boutique.

Sombra walked over to her slowly as she tried to get up. Sombra then smiled a malicious smile as he charged his horn once again. He then fired the beam, but not at Rarity, but at the Boutique. The beam then destroyed Rarity's home in a blaze of glory.

Tears streamed down her cheeks as Sombra laughed evilly. He then used his magic to show Rarity her worst fears. Her eyes glowed green as she screamed in absolute terror. She then fainted, beaten by Sombra, who was laughing in victory.

Metallix blocked a punch from Rainbow with his wrist guards. He then fired a beam from his chest, which Rainbow avoided by flying under the beam and flew towards Metallix. She smiled as she approached the metal machine, but she stopped smiling as Metallix teleported away.

She stopped dead in her tracks and looked around, "SINCE WHEN COULD THEY TELEPORT?!"

She was then elbowed in the back of the head by Metallix. She stumbled but recovered and glared at the robot. She flew forward again, but this time, she was blasted away by Electro, who shot lightning at the rainbow maned pegasus. As she rolled through the air, Metallix teleported behind her and punched her to the ground.

Once she landed, Zavok walked over to her and grabbed her by the throat and slammed her down on the ground. He then brought his foot up and slammed it down on her face, knocking her out.

Metallix landed next to Zavok and Electro did the same as Sombra walked over to them. He then used his magic to grab them all and levitate them into the air. He then formed shackles with his dark magic and put them on his new prisoners.

Twilight flew through the air, dodging left and right to avoid the bullets being fired at her from the helicopter. She saw Ponyville right below her, but her and Spike's eyes widened as they saw Sombra and the villains walking away with their new prisoners.

"KING SOMBRA?!" Twilight exclaimed as she dove down towards Ponyville while Spike held on for dear life. The helicopter was about to give chase, but Sombra saw both Twilight and the helicopter and waved them off with his hoof.

Twilight landed on the ground as a portal opened behind the villains. Twilight glared at Sombra, who just simply smiled as the rest of the villains began walking into the portal with her friends as their prisoners. Sombra then laughed as he turned into his shadow form and went into the portal.

Twilight then took off with full speed and flew towards the portal. Her eyes widened as she saw that the portal was closing. She picked up the pace and entered the portal as it closed, leaving Equestria behind.

(End song)

Meanwhile, on Mobius. Sonic was running away from The Vulture, who was firing metallic feathers at the speedy blue hedgehog. Sonic changed lanes every time Vulture shot a metallic feather at the hedgehog. Sonic's eyes then widened as Scorpion landed directly in his path and whacked him with his giant tail.

Sonic quickly recovered in mid air and curled into a ball. He was about to use a Homing Attack on Scorpion, but he wasn't able to due to Zeena, who leapt into the air and kicked Sonic away.

Sonic rolled to a stop and shook his head. He got into a crouched position and turned to see Zor standing there, admiring a dying flower in his hand.

Vulture flew forward and prepared to dive down to attack Sonic, but he was hit by a Chaos Spear, thanks to Shadow, and was launched into the side of a building.

Sonic smirked and turned to Shadow, "Thanks, Shadz."

Shadow glared at the blue hedgehog, "How many times have I told you not to call me that?!"

Sonic shrugged, "Lost count."

Scorpion then leapt into the air and fired an acid shot from his tail, aimed directly at Shadow. Shadow smirked and used Chaos Control to teleport away. He appeared behind Scorpion and hit him in the head with a roundhouse kick, sending him to the ground.

Vulture then recovered and flew towards the Ultimate Lifeform, but was hit by a Homing Attack, courtesy of Sonic, and was sent to the floor. Sonic landed and dashed towards Zor, who just sighed in depression and quickly leapt out of the way to avoid Sonic.

Zeena tried to scratch Shadow with her nails, Shadow smirked as he kept swaying left and right to avoid the female Zeti. He then heard Scorpion land behind him. Shadow then teleported away as Scorpion shot acid from his tail. Zeena's eyes widened just before she was hit by the acid.

She screamed and flailed her arms around while running in circles.

Scorpion smirked, "Never send a millennial, to do a man's job."

He was then shut up by Sonic, who hit him with a Homing Attack. Scorpion flew through the air and made his way towards Shadow, who teleported in his way and kicked him to the ground. Shadow then eyed Zor and brought back his right hand.

"CHAOS SPEAR!!!"

Shadow then fired a Chaos Spear at the depressed Zeti. Before Zor could react, he was sent into the wall of a building by the resulting Chaos Spear. Zor then fell to the floor, unconscious.

Vulture wasn't done yet as he took to the sky once again and fired more metallic feathers at the two hedgehogs. Sonic boosted forward and jumped up into the air and curled into a ball. He then hit Vulture with a Homing Attack, sending him flying through the air. Shadow then teleported behind him and elbowed him to the floor.

(End song)

Shadow and Sonic landed on the ground and turned to Eggman, who was smiling for some odd reason. Sonic then heard the sound of a plane approaching. He turned and saw the rest of his friends heading over to provide back up. As Sonic chuckled, Shadow glared at Eggman, who burst into full on maniacal laughter.

Suddenly, a portal opened up behind Eggman. Suddenly, a laser beam shot out from the portal and hit the Tornado, surrounding it in a bubble. Sonic's friends were confused, but then they began to scream out in pain as electricity hit every single one of them inside the bubble.

Sonic's eyes widened as the bubble turned back into a laser beam and shot back into the portal. Sonic then gritted his teeth and glared at his most hated nemesis.

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!" Sonic screamed in anger.

Eggman smirked, "Hmm, I could tell you, or I could kill you. Or I could just tell you and then kill you." Eggman then smiled evilly, "I think I'll keep you guessing, then I'll kill you. Ta-Ta, losers! Oh ho ho ho ho ho ho!!!"

Eggman then turned around in his Egg Mobile and flew into the portal, laughing his iconic laugh. The other villains quickly got up and entered the portal. Sonic and Shadow looked at one another and dashed into the portal, chasing after the mad doctor.

Peter glared at the group of criminals standing before him. He clenched his fist as Otto pointed towards him with his left hand.

"Kill him." Otto ordered.

Rhino then charged forward at high speeds to try and hit Peter. But Spidey simply rolled out of the way, but he was then attacked by Mr. Negative, who slashed his sword at the wall crawler. Peter did multiple flips to avoid the sharp blade. Martin then fired a blast of negative energy at the friendly neighbourhood hero.

Peter swung into the air to avoid the blast, his Spider Sense then went off, but before he could react, he was kicked in the chest by Master Zik. Otto then launched one of him mechanical arms and grabbed Peter by the chest and slammed him to the ground.

As Otto prepared to slam him again, Peter shot some web into Otto's eyes, blinding him. Peter then grabbed the arm's claws and made them release him. As Peter fell, he shot a line of web to a nearby building and swung away. He stuck himself to a wall and equipped his Web Bomb and threw it at Zomom, who was charging over towards Peter.

The bomb exploded and Zomom was caught in the web. Peter then leapt off of the building and kicked the Zeti in the chest with both of his feet. Zomom fell to the ground, but he quickly broke the webbing and got up. Peter's Spider Sense went off again, alerting him of Zazz, who was charging right towards the hero.

Peter then backflipped over the Zeti, causing Zazz to clash with Zomom, sending them both to the ground.

Peter landed on the ground and smirked underneath his mask, "Have a nice trip." Peter quipped.

He then turned around and saw Rhino charging towards him. Peter then ran towards the giant villain and slid under his legs, webbing them up in the process. Once he reached the other side, he stood up and pulled the webbing, causing Rhino to fall to the ground.

Master Zik tried to attack Peter from above, but Pete rolled out of the way and shot webbing at the old Zeti.

"You know, didn't think I'd be fighting a Smurf today. Just sayin'." Peter quipped.

The webbing hit Zik, tangling him up. Peter then shot a line of webbing at the old master and began swinging him around. His Spider Sense went off, alerting him of Martin Li, who leapt into the air and was about to bring his sword down on Peter's head.

Peter then hurled Zik at Mr. Negative, the two clashed and fell to the ground.

Peter then turned to face Otto and the two glared at each other.

"It's over, Otto. You're alone, give up now!" Peter shouted.

"I was about to say the same thing to you!" Otto replied.

(End song)

"He's not alone." A voice said behind them.

They turned and saw Miles land on the ground. He then walked over to stand beside Peter.

They all glared at each other before Otto launched two of his mechanical arms at the two Spider-Men. Peter flipped over one arm while Miles slid under the other. Peter then shot a line of webbing at a nearby building and took to the sky to avoid another attack from Otto.

Miles then began charging his Venom abilities as he ran towards Otto. Otto growled as he swiped his bottom left arm at Miles, who jumped over the arm and continued towards Otto.

Peter then shot a line of web at Otto's chest, the webbing hit and Peter pulled Otto closer with a tug of the webbing. Miles then hit Otto in the stomach with a Venom Punch while Peter kicked Otto in the face with his foot.

Otto was then launched into a nearby parked car. He shook his head and got back up thanks to his mechanical arms. Otto then turned around and climbed the wall of the building behind him. Peter and Miles then webbed up into the sky and pursued him.

Both Spider's landed on the roof to confront Otto. Both of their eyes widened as they saw what Otto wanted them to see. New York was being attacked, buildings were on fire and an armada of ships were in the sky, firing upon the city.

Otto turned around and smiled at the two heroes, "Welcome to my utopia."

"OTTO, THIS IS INSANE!!! DO YOU REALISE HOW MAY INNOCENT LIVES YOU'RE PUTTING AT RISK?!" Peter shouted.

Otto chuckled as he shook his head, "You have to break a few eggs to make an omelette."

(End song)

Peter and Miles then charged towards Otto in anger, which is what Otto wanted. He then pulled out a detonator from his back pocket and activated it.

"Have a nice nap, Parker." Otto said.

(Play from 2:33 to end)

Suddenly, the roof of the building exploded in flames as Peter and Miles were sent flying off of the building. The last thing Peter saw was Otto entering a portal that had opened up behind him. Both Spider-Men landed in an alleyway, defeated.

Peter and Miles then got back up, struggling due to their exhaustion. They looked to the street, the villains were gone. But suddenly, a portal opened up in the street they were just in.

Sonic and Shadow then jumped out of the portal and landed on the street. They looked at their surroundings to see where they were.

"Where are we?" Sonic asked.

"I don't know. It appears we're in a city, but it's not Station Square." Shadow replied.

Suddenly, Twilight and Spike flew out of the portal, both of them screaming as they crashed and rolled on the street.

Twilight then put a hoof to her head as she and Spike got up.

"Twilight?" Sonic asked as he and Shadow approached the two.

Twilight and Spike's eyes then widened as they saw Sonic approaching. Before Sonic knew it, he was tackled to the ground by his two Equestrian friends.

"SONIC!!! IT'S YOU!!! IT'S REALLY YOU!!!" Twilight said while crying tears of joy.

Sonic chuckled, "It's good to see you both."

Shadow scoffed at them, "Get up, Faker. We don't have time for this."

Suddenly, Peter and Miles landed in front of all of them as Sonic, Twilight and Spike got up off of the street. They all stared at one another for a moment before Miles broke the silence.

"So? This weather's crazy, right?" He said as he rubbed the back of his head.

END OF ACT 1

Author's Note

And that's the end of Act 1.

Next up is the beginning of Act 2, where introductions will be made and alliances will be forged.

Stay tuned.

(Beginning Of Act 2) Captured

Rainbow Dash slowly opened her eyes, her vision blurred. Once her vision cleared, she noticed that she was in a white room with a white bed to her left. She then realised that there was a laser barrier keeping her in the room. Rainbow Dash was in a cell.

She walked up to the barrier to try and get a better look at where she was being kept. She only saw a hallway outside her cell and two guards watching her every move. She noticed that the guards were two beings she has never seen before, these were none other than Rhino and Master Zik.

Rhino turned to her and noticed that she was awake.

"It seems one little pony has awoken." Rhino said to Master Zik.

Zik nodded, "Indeed. And it appears that she is not alone."

Rainbow then heard some noises coming from her left and her right. That's when she noticed that there were more cells right next to her. She heard everyone else wake up and get up off of the floor.

"Wha....What in tarnation?" Applejack muttered.

"Ugh. Anyone get the number of that bus?" Knuckles said groggily.

Tails rubbed his forehead and examined his cell, "We're trapped. Eggman got the jump on us."

Rarity's eyes then widened, "Tails? Is that you, darling?"

"Wait a minute, Rarity?" Tails replied.

Applejack laughed in joy, "Hooo Weee. Well howdy, Tails! Been a while."

"Applejack, wait! Are all of the girls here?" Tails asked.

Pinkie bounced around her cell, "YIPEE!!! IT'S SOOOO GOOD TO SEE YOU, TAILS!!! Well, not 'see' you at the moment, but it's great to hear you!"

The rest of the mobians looked confused.

"Uh, Tails? Mind filling us in?" Amy asked.

"Where's Froggy?" Big asked.

Suddenly, a familiar laugh interrupted Tails before he could explain, "Well, look who's awake."

They all then walked to their laser bars and saw an egg shaped shadow walking down the hallway. Eggman then stood in front of the cells and laughed wickedly.

"EGGMAN!!!" Everyone shouted in unison.

Suddenly, Sombra appeared next to Eggman thanks to a teleportation spell.

"He had a little help." Sombra said smugly.

All of the ponies and Discord gritted their teeth at the dark unicorn. Rouge then spoke to Eggman, "Alright, Robotnik. What's going on?"

Eggman chuckled, "What makes you think that I would tell you anything, you sneaky bat!!!"

Rouge smirked, "You've trusted me in the past."

"A mistake that I won't make again." Eggman replied.

Sombra then stepped forward, "You are all hereby declared enemies of our empire. You will all be confined in these cells for the remainder of your days and watch as we destroy everything you hold dear."

Everyone glared at the dark unicorn with hatred.

"Look, I don't know you. But I already wanna punch your teeth in!" Knuckles growled.

"We beat you once, EggHead, we can do it again!!!" Rainbow Dash declared.

Eggman raised an eyebrow, "What makes you so sure? Unlike our last encounter, I have you in the palm of my hand." Eggman then turned to Tails, "I've lost to you and that stubborn little hedgehog for too long! Now that I have all of my enemies in one place, I can use you all as bait. None of you will survive this time!"

Amy then glared at the mad doctor, "Then why not destroy us now?"

Eggman folded his arms, "Normally I would," He then tilted his head towards Sombra, "But SOMEONE wants to keep you alive for gloating."

Sombra then turned and glared at Eggman, "What's the point in beating our enemies if we just destroy them right off the bat? We should relish in our victory! We should break them before their inevitable demise." Sombra smiled wickedly.

"It's a mistake to keep them alive!!! We should just finish them off, now!!!" Eggman countered.

Sombra scoffed, "You have no flair, Robotnik! We should make them watch as their greatest fears come to fruition!!!"

Eggman smirked, "And did that work out for you last time, your majesty?!" Eggman sneered.

Sombra's eyes then glowed green, "YOU WOULD DARE?!"

"Oh, I would dare." Eggman replied.

(End song)

Suddenly, a mechanical arm slammed on the ground in between the two villains. They both looked up and saw Doc Ock slowly descend to the ground.

"Gentlemen, it behooves us not to fight amongst ourselves." Otto said to the two villains.

Sombra scoffed, "Behooves? What are you, a professor?"

"No, I'm a scientist." Otto replied.

He then turned to the cells and walked closer to them, his mechanical arms stomping against the metal floor as he approached.

He then leaned forward and examined each cell while stroking his chin, "Such interesting creatures. To think that all of you could cause so much trouble."

"And who might y'all be?" Applejack asked.

Otto then chuckled as he stood upright, "I am Doctor Otto Octavius, and you are beneath me." Otto said as he walked back over to his allies.

Applejack growled at that comment and was about to retort, but suddenly, she was shocked as electricity filled her room. Everyone gasped, though they couldn't see the act of torture, they could hear Applejack's screams of agony. The electricity stopped and she fell to the floor.

"APPLEJACK?! ARE YOU OKAY?!" Fluttershy shouted in worry.

Applejack moaned in pain as everyone glared at the three villains. They all saw that Otto had a device in his left hand.

"Let that be an example of what will happen if any of you step out of line." Otto said to the prisoners.

Discord then pointed at Otto angrily, "If you do anything to Fluttershy, I swear I'll-"

Eggman then cut him off, "You'll what? Turn us into cupcakes? You're a joke, Discord! You don't know the meaning of the word chaos! Instead of using your magic to make everyone bow before you, you instead play pranks and fool around! You even let these annoying mares turn you against everything you know! You're no Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony. You're nothing but a punchline, a failure, and you always will be."

Discord then shut his mouth as he stepped back from the laser bars.

Sombra then turned to his allies, "So, we move forward with the plan?"

Eggman smiled, "Of course! When it's complete, any resistance will be erased! And from the ashes of their crumbled ideologies, a glorious Superior Empire will rise!" Eggman smiled evilly.

Otto then lifted himself further into the air thanks to his arms, "And any who oppose us will fall to our combined power."

Sombra then smiled maliciously, "All will submit."

Blaze then snarled at the trio of villains, "We won't let you get away with this!!!" She then tried to access her fire abilities, but for some reason, she couldn't.

Sombra then stepped forward, "You say that like you all have a choice in the matter."

Eggman then stroked his moustache, "You'll find that your cells are lined with the newly created Power Dampeners Otto and I created. So there will be no flames from the Flame Princess or Psychokinesis from the future rodent."

"Now, if you'll excuse us. We have a Multiverse to conquer." Sombra stated.

"Enjoy your stay. You'll be here for a very long time." Otto added.

"Soon, everything you love will bow before the Superior Empire!" Eggman finished.

The trio of villains then laughed as everyone had a look of worry evident on their faces. This time, their enemies would not go down so easily.

Next chapter, we catch up with the heroes in New York

Stay tuned.

The Situation

"So, this weather's crazy, right?" Miles said, trying to break the tension.

Peter then rubbed his forehead with both of his hands, trying to process what is happening, "I'm just....lost for words, right now. I mean, I've seen some crazy stuff in my lifetime, but this takes the cake." Peter then gestured to the otherworldly beings in front of him with his left hand, "I mean, there's a horse with wings and a horn, a tiny purple dragon, and two anthropomorphic hedgehogs standing right in front of me."

Sonic then chuckled and rubbed the back of his head, "Yeah, I'm just as confused as you are." Sonic then walked towards Peter, "But, I know a way to make this all less confusing," He then extended his hand to Peter as a sign of friendship, "I'm Sonic. Sonic the hedgehog."

Peter then chuckled and shook Sonic's hand, "Just call me your friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man."

Twilight then stepped forward with a kind smile on her face, "I'm Twilight Sparkle. I'm the Princess of Equestria," She then gestured her right hoof to Spike, who was standing beside her, "And this is my Royal Ambassador, and my number one assistant, Spike."

Spike waved as he blushed in embarrassment. Miles then stepped forward, "Whoa, whoa, whoa. Equestria? What's that?"

Twilight smiled and turned to Miles, "It's the kingdom I rule over. I watch over every single pony in my kingdom and protect them if there is ever a threat that puts their lives at risk."

Peter's eyes then widened, "You mean there's a whole kingdom of ponies?"

Twilight nodded eagerly while Peter and Miles looked at each other, "Well, that's new." Miles muttered.

"And who might you be, if I may ask?" Twilight asked Miles kindly.

Miles then puffed out his chest with pride, "I'm Spider-Man."

Sonic then tilted his head in confusion, "But, he's Spider-Man." He said while pointing at Peter.

Peter then chuckled, "Yeah, people get us confused all the time."

Everyone then turned to Shadow, waiting for an introduction. Instead, he simply folded his arms and closed his eyes. Sonic rolled his eyes and gestured towards Shadow, "Don't mind him. He's like that with everyone. This is Shadow."

Shadow then opened one of his eyes slightly, "The pleasure is yours."

They all turned to Sonic, who shrugged in response, basically saying that this was normal.

Peter then put on a serious demeanor, "Now, would anyone like to tell me what's going on? Where did you all come from?"

"Well, I was at a party with my friends, you know, just a get together. But this one," He pointed his thumb to Shadow, who hmphed and folded his arms, "Decided to skip out on the party. He decided to brood on a rooftop instead of hanging out with his friends."

Twilight tilted her head in confusion and turned to Shadow, "Why would you not want to go to a party with your friends?"

Shadow scoffed at the alicorn princess, "Hmph. Because they're not my friends. They're annoyances."

Sonic then elbowed Shadow in the arm, "Come on, you know you care about us, Faker."

Shadow growled and batted Sonic's elbow away, "Tempt me further and I'll show you how little I care about you, Faker!"

Sonic smirked at his rival, "You'd have to catch me first, Shadz."

"Call me that again and I'll make you regret it, hedgehog!"

Sonic rolled his eyes and smirked, annoying Shadow even more. Twilight looked sad, she didn't know how to process this. Sonic says they're friends, but it seems that Shadow is pretty adamant that they're nothing of the sort.

Sonic then cleared his throat and continued, "Anyway, I went to go get Shadow and bring him to the party. But then Eggman attacked and-"

Sonic was cut off by the sound of Miles bursting out in laughter while Peter tried to hold in his laughter. Twilight and Spike then remembered what Sonic's nickname for Robotnik was and they started laughing too. Sonic then shook his head and joined in as well.

Shadow then growled in annoyance, getting everyone's attention, "Will you get on with it, Faker?!"

Sonic frowned at Shadow, "Jeez, learn to live a little, Shadz."

"I swear, if you say that again I'll-"

Shadow was cut off as Sonic waved his hand, signaling that he's heard this before, "Yeah, yeah, I know. Anyway, we went to go stop Eggman, only he was ready for us. He had a team there to back him up. I've fought some of them before, but there were two of them that I've never even met before. One was wearing a suit with a really long tail while the other guy was really old and flew around with wings."

Peter and Miles' eyes then widened in realization, "Vulture and Scorpion were there?" Peter asked.

"I guess." Sonic shrugged.

Peter then stroked his chin in thought, "Okay, go on."

"So, we beat EggHead's team, but he opened a portal behind him and kidnapped our friends-"

"Your friends." Shadow interrupted.

Sonic rolled his eyes, "Fine, my friends, and escaped into a portal. We followed him through and ended up here."

Twilight then had a thought, "That sounds similar to what happened to us." Her and Spike shared a worrisome glance before Twilight turned back to the group, "You see, Canterlot was invaded-"

Sonic then sighed, "Again?"

Twilight glared at the hedgehog before continuing, "As I was saying, these robots and armed bipedal creatures with glowing weapons invaded Canterlot. Spike and I tried to fend them off, but we then noticed that my hometown, Ponyville, was being attacked as well. We escaped and saw these weird creatures taking my friends into a portal-"

Sonic then looked worried, "The girls were taken?"

Twilight nodded solemnly, causing Sonic to look even more worried than earlier, "I didn't know these creatures, except for two of them. One looked like a new Metal Sonic model," Sonic groaned at that, "and the other was an old enemy of mine, King Sombra."

Spike shivered at the mere mention of that monster's name.

"Spike and I saw them enter the portal and decided to follow. And now, here we are." Twilight finished.

Miles then looked at Peter worryingly, "You don't think?"

"It's the only possible explanation." Peter replied.

The others looked confused, "Uh, wanna catch us up?" Spike asked.

Both Spider-Men turned to the group, "Yeah, but not here." Peter replied.

"Why?" Spike asked.

"Because, to understand what's happening, you're gonna have to know about me." Peter replied.

"We know a place where we can talk where no one can over hear us." Miles said.

Shadow looked skeptical, "How do we know you're not wasting our time?"

Peter shrugged, "You're just gonna have to trust us."

Shadow scoffed while the others glanced at each other. They then turned and nodded at the wall crawlers.

"Alright, Spidey. Lead the way." Sonic said in his usual cheery self.

Both Peter and Miles shot a line of web and took to the air. The others looked astonished, "Well, that's new." Twilight muttered. Sonic then took off after them at high speeds while Twilight and Spike took to the air. Shadow grumbled something and then skated after them.

(End song)

MJ was sitting on her couch, looking for anything that could help Peter and Miles. Suddenly, she heard her door open, she got up from her seat and turned towards the door.

"Hey guys, I think I've found something." MJ said as she turned around.

She then looked frozen as she saw Twilight, Spike, Sonic, and Shadow standing at the door with Peter and Miles.

Peter then chuckled nervously, "Yeah, so did we."

Meanwhile, in Netherworld. Both The Sinister Six and The Deadly Six were standing in front of a large portal in the villains base, Nethertower.

Eggman, Sombra, and Doc Ock stood before the team of villains.

Otto then stepped forward, "You know your teams. You know your missions."

"One team goes to Mobius to find my prized possessions while the other goes to New York to keep the pests busy." Eggman added.

Sombra then stepped forward, "Do not fail us. Return with what we seek, or else." He threatened.

Some of them nodded while the others growled in annoyance, Metallix simply turned around and entered the portal. They all eventually followed the robots example and entered the portal.

The portal closed and the three villains turned to one another.

"Do you think they'll succeed?" Sombra asked.

Eggman shook his head, "It doesn't matter if they do. There's nothing anyone can do to stop our plan. It's perfect!"

"All that matters is that we stall them for a long enough time for our little project to be completed. The Emeralds are just a nice ace up our sleeves just in case things go wrong." Otto added.

Eggman then chuckled, "But they won't. Everything is falling into place. And this time, no one is going to get in our way."

(End song)

Getting To Know The Wall Crawler

"So, let me get this straight." MJ said to everyone in her apartment while she sat on the couch, trying to process what she was told, "You're a princess who rules over a land of multi coloured ponies?" She gestured to Twilight, who nodded in response. She then turns to Sonic and Shadow, "And you two are anthropomorphic hedgehogs who stop a mad scientist on a daily basis?"

Sonic smirks, "Well, I stop EggHead on a daily basis." He then points to Shadow, "This one just broods twenty-four seven."

"Watch it, Faker!" Shadow growled in response.

Twilight glanced over with a look of worry on her face. She hated it when friends didn't treat each other nicely, and it seems that Shadow didn't really like Sonic. So why was Sonic so sure that the two of them were friends?

MJ then turned to Peter and gave him a deadpanned look.

"It's not like this is the most confusing thing we've ever heard." Peter said to his girlfriend.

Peter then did the unthinkable. He took off his mask, shocking Miles and MJ. Everyone stared at the wall crawler as he smirked.

"Well then. My name is Peter Parker, and you all might wanna buckle in for this."

Meanwhile at Times Square, a portal opened up in the sky and a yellow moon mech with a face on it floated out of the portal.

And standing on top of the mech is none other than Zazz, who's laughing hysterically. Electro then exits the portal, his entire body surrounded in electricity. The two villains smirked at each other before Electro chuckled to himself.

(Start from 0:09)

"Time to cut the power!" Electro shouted.

He then released a burst of yellow electricity, shutting off all the screens in time square and knocking several parked cars onto their sides.

Zazz laughed as the moon mech opened its mouth, "Let's test out these crazy new upgrades!!!" Zazz screamed as the mech fired a giant blue laser from its mouth, tearing the street apart.

Electro laughed as he shot up further into the sky and released a massive wave of electricity.

"Ignore this, web-head!"

Electro then released a massive wave of yellow electricity that crackled in the sky and spread across the skies of New York.

(End song)

Back in the apartment, Peter had just told the group how he was bitten by a radioactive spider, giving him his powers. Twilight was deep in thought, he started being a superhero at a young age, how did he manage to keep his cool?

"Anyway, I started doing wrestling matches for money. I won the cash prize, but the manager didn't pay me. His money was stolen and I could have stopped it, but I didn't. And that decision costed me the life of my Uncle Ben." Peter revealed.

Everyone either gasped or looked surprised. His uncle had died, and he blamed himself. Shadow looked surprised as well. He especially knows how it feels to lose someone close, he could relate to Peter on that level.

"Oh, Peter. I'm so sorry." Twilight said with tears in her eyes.

Peter gave a sad smile in response and continued, "I eventually found the guy who had killed my uncle, and I literally held his life in my hands. I could've dropped him from that building and avenged my uncle, but I didn't. It's not my job to play executioner, I was told by my Uncle Ben, that 'With great power, comes great responsibility.' And I've lived by that sentiment ever since."

Everyone smiled, that quote is one to remember. Shadow even gave Peter the slightest smile, but no one noticed.

"A few years later, I had a job with a brilliant scientist, Dr. Otto Octavius. We were going to change the world. But unfortunately, he went insane and released a deadly virus called 'Devil's Breath' upon the city and killed hundreds, maybe even thousands of people..... including my Aunt May." Peter revealed with a sad tone in his voice.

Everyone looked sad again. Peter had lost the only family that he had left. He's gone through so much, and yet he keeps on a happy face. How does he do it?

Shadow then spoke for the first time since they had arrived in the apartment, "I can relate."

Everyone looked at him with a shocked expression.

Shadow continued, "I know how it feels to lose someone close to you. You keep up the good fight, hoping to change the world for the better. To honour their memory." Shadow then turned to Peter, "You never give up. Even when life knocks you down, you get back up and fight. And for that, you have my respect."

Everyone looked shocked, except for Sonic, who chuckled and nudged him in the side, "I knew you were a big softie, edgie the hedgie."

Shadow glared at Sonic, if looks could kill, "If you utter one word of this to Rouge...."

They were suddenly interrupted by the sound of lightning outside. They shrugged it off, only for several more sounds of lightning strikes went off outside. Miles walked to the window and saw what the commotion was about.

"Uh, guys?" Everyone turned to Miles, "Seems like the power bill is about to go up." Miles joked with worry in his voice.

Everyone went to the window and saw yellow electricity fill the sky.

Peter frowned, "Electro."

Shadow crossed his arms, "He obviously wants your attention, Parker."

Peter turned to Shadow, "Well, he's got it." Peter then walked away from the window.

They all saw Peter walk to the couch and grab his mask, which was lying there on the arm of the couch. He picked it up and put it on.

Sonic turned to Twilight, "Well, ready for another adventure with this dashingly handsome blue hedgehog?"

Twilight chuckled and nudged her friend in the arm, "Always."

Spike then hopped on Twilight's back, "You all realise it's a trap, right?"

Miles smirked as he put on his mask, "We know, but we gotta stop him."

Twilight then levitated Spike off of her back with her magic, "Spike. I want you to stay here."

Spike frowned, "But, you'll need help! I can help!"

"I know you can, but this is a threat that we've never dealt with before, you could get hurt." Twilight then smirked, "Besides, I think MJ will need some help around the place."

Spike sighed and then gave her the slightest of smiles, "Okay. Just be careful."

Twilight nodded and turned to everyone else.

"Ready?" Peter asked.

Sonic gave him a thumbs up while Shadow and Twilight nodded in response.

Peter then turned to the window, "Let's go pull the plug on Electro."

Author's Note

Sorry for the short chapter

But next chapter we finally get into some action with the fight against Electro & Zazz.

Stay tuned.

Vs. Electro & Zazz

Peter and Miles swung from building to building, making their way to Times Square to stop Electro. Twilight flew beside Sonic and Shadow, who were running/skating in the streets. As they ran, Sonic stuck his tongue out at Shadow to annoy him. Shadow growled in response and boosted ahead while Sonic laughed.

Twilight then turned to Sonic, "Sonic, it's pretty clear that Shadow doesn't like you at all. Yet you insist that you're friends. How can you say that after the way he treats you?"

Sonic chuckled and turned to Twilight, "Because, if he wasn't my friend, then why did he save my life?"

Sonic then boosted ahead, leaving a very confused, but astounded Twilight in the dust.

"Shadow saved Sonic's life? Maybe there's more to this than I thought." Twilight thought as she flew ahead towards Times Square.

Peter and Miles landed on the highest building in Times Square and looked to the ground below. They saw Electro and Zazz flying around, destroying everything. Peter frowned and jumped off the building and shot a line of web at Electro. Electro was confused at first, but he was then suddenly kicked to the ground by Peter.

As Electro rolled to a stop, everyone else arrived in Times Square and stood in front of the electrified villain. Zazz then hovered down next to Electro as he stood up and smirked at the heroes.

"Took ya long enough." Electro remarked.

"Alright, Electro. You're going back to The Raft, and your Pokemon friend is joining you." Peter joked to the two villains.

Zazz frowned, "ARE YOU DISRESPECTING ME?!"

Peter shrugged, "Maybe."

Electro then hovered off the ground and into the air, hands crackling with electricity, "Well then. Let's get this party started!"

Sonic then smirked, "Couldn't have said it better myself!"

(Start from 33:34)

Electro then fired a shot of electricity from his hands, causing the heroes to spread out. Peter webbed himself to the side of a nearby building and stuck to it. His eyes widened as Electro moved toward him and fired more electricity from his hands. Peter, thinking quickly, shot a line of web and swung away, dodging the attack.

Electro growled and flew after him. As Peter swung, he had to dodge multiple shots of electricity from Electro, doing flips in mid air and web zipping from building to building. Peter then stuck himself on a billboard with Norman Osborn's face on it. Electro then released a massive wave of electricity from his body. Peter quickly jumped off of the billboard and dove down to the street below.

The billboard was hit and started falling to the ground, taking off chunks of the building it was attached to, causing debris to fall to the ground. The billboard then fell to the ground, crushing the parked cars underneath it. Spidey then did a tuck and roll as he landed on the ground. He untucked and looked up at Electro while in a crouched position.

Electro then fired multiple lighting bolts from both of his hands. Peter web zipped out of the way to dodge the incoming attack.

Electro was about to attack again, but he was suddenly webbed up from behind by a Web Bomb, courtesy of Miles. Electro tried to break the webbing, but no matter how much he tried, the web just wouldn't break.

"HEADS UP, ZAPPY!!!" Miles shouted as he leaped from the building he was on and kicked Electro in the back of the head, sending him to the ground.

Electro growled as he released a burst of electricity from within him, breaking the webbing.

"That all you got?" Electro taunted.

He then took to the air and began draining the electricity from the various screens in Times Square, giving him more power. Miles saw this and shot some webbing at the electrified villain, only for it to disintegrate to ash thanks to the electrified barrier surrounding Electro.

Electro's eyes glow yellow as electricity flickers in his eyes, "Nice try!"

Twilight saw this and took to the air. Once she was close enough, she then flew forward towards Electro, as she charged forward, her horn began charging up a spell.

Electro laughed in her face, "And what are you gonna do, toots?"

Twilight smiled, "THIS!" She then teleported away thanks to a teleportation spell.

Electro was confused for a moment, but suddenly, Twilight appeared inside his barrier, still charging forward. She then bucked him in the chest with her two front hooves, stopping him from gaining more power.

Electro was sent through the air and eventually landed on the ground below. He shook his head as he got back up to his feet. Twilight landed in front of him and began charging a blast from her horn. Electro growled and transformed into a bolt of yellow lightning and took to the air.

Once he was high enough, he returned to his normal form and began charging up another attack. Peter saw this and quickly jumped up into the air and shot a line of web directly at Electro. The web hit Electro in the chest, startling Electro. Peter then pulled himself towards Electro, but Electro saw this coming and grabbed the line of web with both of his hands.

He then squeezed the web, electrifying the webbing. Peter's eyes widened as he knew what Electro was doing. Before he could do anything, he was electrocuted by the electrified web. Peter screamed in pain as he let go of the web. Peter landed on the ground harshly.

Electro then pulled the webbing off of his chest. His eyes glowed yellow as he shot both of his hands up into the sky, firing lightning from the palms of his hands. Yellow lightning covered the sky, Electro then swung his arms downward. This caused multiple bolts of yellow lightning to shoot down from the sky.

Twilight quickly grabbed Peter with her magic and teleported out of the way while Miles quickly swung from one building to another to avoid the bolts of lightning.

The lightning stopped and Electro smirked as he flew forward to continue the fight.

(End song)

Meanwhile, on the rooftops of the buildings surrounding Times Square, Sonic and Shadow were running along the rooftops towards Zazz. Zazz laughed maniacally as he stomped on his Moon Mech, causing the mech to open its mouth and fire missiles from its mouth.

"Well, that's new." Sonic quipped.

Sonic jumped over the incoming missiles while Shadow used his rocket shoes to take to the air.

"Behold, you're in the presence of The Ultimate Lifeform!" Shadow shouted as he charged a Chaos Spear.

Sonic rolled his eyes at that comment.

"CHAOS SPEAR!!!" Shadow shouted as he threw multiple blasts at the Zeti.

Zazz laughed as he suddenly teleported out of the way.

This confused the two hedgehogs "You didn't mention he could do that, Faker!" Shadow shouted at Sonic.

Sonic frowned at Shadow, "That's because he couldn't!"

Zazz reappeared and fired more missiles, "That's thanks to the new upgrades I got! And luckily for you, YOU GET TO SEE THEM FIRST HAND!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

Sonic then ran forward and jumped on an incoming missile. He then jumped on one after another as the missiles continued to make their way towards the hedgehog. Once he was close enough, Sonic curled into a ball and hit Zazz with a Homing Attack.

Zazz was sent flying off his mech and fell towards the ground. Zazz then dove towards the side of the building and slid down the side of it, leaving scratch marks thanks to his claws. Zazz then leaped off of the building as his Moon Mech hovered towards him.

Zazz landed on the Moon Mech and hovered up towards the roof.

"GONNA BEAT YOU BOTH LIKE A DRUM!" Zazz shouted as he floated up to the roof.

Once he was at the same height as the roof, he laughed as he fired more missiles at the two hedgehogs. Shadow simply teleported away while Sonic had to run along the building to avoid the missiles.

"HOLD STILL!" Zazz shouted.

Sonic then skidded to a stop as he saw a missile approaching him. He smirked and kicked the missile back towards Zazz.

As the missile approached, Zazz's eyes widened, "Oh no."

The missile hit his Moon Mech and sent him flying off of it. As Zazz flew through the air, Shadow appeared behind him, floating thanks to his rocket shoes.

"Laugh at this!" Shadow said as he punched Zazz in the face, sending him hurling towards the ground below.

He landed on the ground, creating a crater where he landed. He placed a hand on his head as he shook his it, dazed from the attack.

Sonic then ran down the side of the building and stopped in front of the crater just as Shadow hovered down next to him with his arms crossed.

Electro saw this and smirked. He then turned to Peter and the other heroes, "Now I gotta go recharge, but don't worry. I got you all a Pokemon to play with. Don't break him." Electro joked.

Zazz glared at the villain, "I AIN'T NO POKEMAN OR WHATEVER!!! I'M A ZETI!!!"

Electro shrugged as he turned into a bolt of lightning and zoomed away at high speeds.

Zazz then turned to Sonic and Shadow, "YOU AIN'T GONNA BEAT ME AGAIN, HEDGEHOG!!!"

"Sure, keep thinking that, bud." Sonic replied.

Zazz roared in anger as he charged forward, only to be held in place by Twilight thanks to her magic.

"Oh no, I didn't say you could leave." Twilight joked.

Zazz was then hit in the chest thanks to a Homing Attack by Sonic. As he flew through the air, Miles shot a line of webbing and spun him around in a circular motion. He then let Zazz go as Shadow flew upwards with his rocket shoes and elbowed Zazz in the face.

"Here's the finish!" Peter shouted as he zipped up into the air with his webs. He then web zipped over to Zazz and began laying into him with punches and kicks. He then finished the Zeti off with a downward kick to the head, sending the Zeti crashing to the floor.

Zazz tried to get back up, but he couldn't find the strength and fell back down, defeated.

(End song)

(Start from 37:15)

As Peter landed on the ground, he failed to notice Electro reappear behind him. Then, when he wasn't looking, Electro hit Spidey in the back with a bolt of lightning, sending him across Times Square.

As Peter got back up, Electro reappeared before him and uppercutted him, generating a strange noise. As Peter flew into the air, Electro appeared before him and hit him again, he then appeared behind him and hit him again, then again, and again, the final time sending him to the ground.

As Peter got up, he sighed in annoyance, "I hate this song."

Electro then appeared again and sent him into the air. He then hit Spidey nine more times, appearing and disappearing as he hit the wall crawler. The final hit sent Spidey flying through the window of a nearby building.

Peter struggled to get back up, but he eventually found the strength to do so. As he looked out the window, he saw Electro hovering just outside the window. He then fired a blast of electricity from his hands directly at Peter.

Peter then ran away, further into the building, jumping over the desks inside the building. He then jumped out of the window on the other side just as the electricity blasted through the building. As Peter dove down, he aimed his arm and shot a line of web at the closest building and swung back towards Times Square.

He landed on top of a nearby building and perched on the edge of the building. He looked down and saw Electro firing blasts of lightning at Shadow, who was teleporting to avoid the blasts. He appeared behind Electro and tried to strike, but he was blasted away by Electro, who saw the attack coming.

Twilight tried hitting Electro with her magic, but Electro dashed forward and grabbed Twilight's horn with his hand and electrocuted the alicorn. She screamed in pain and then fell to the ground.

Sonic dashed forward towards Electro, who turned around and started firing bolts of lightning at the blue hedgehog. Sonic swayed left and right to avoid the attacks. He leaped into the air to try and attack Electro, but Electro released a burst of electricity and sent the hedgehog back.

Miles tried webbing the villain up with his webbing, but Electro dodged the web and dashed towards Miles. Before Miles could dodge, Electro shot a blast of lightning at the wall crawler and sent him crashing into a nearby parked car.

Peter had to come up with a plan, he then looked around for anything of use. He then saw an open grate with a power cable inside it. Peter's eyes then widened. That cable must power all of Times Square. If he could somehow get Electro to touch the cable, he could use the cable to overcharge Electro, literally burning him out, like a battery.

Electro then turned and saw Spider-Man.

"COME AND GET ME, WEB-HEAD!" Electro taunted.

He then shot a bolt of lightning at Spidey, who jumped off the building and swung around Times Square, avoiding the blasts from Electro. Electro growled as he dashed over towards Peter and attempted to zap him with electricity, but Peter quickly zipped forward.

(Play from 41:05 to end)

Peter then landed on the side of a building and ran across it, all the while, avoiding the massive bolt of lightning trailing behind him.

Peter then jumped off the building and shot a line of web at Electro. He then pulled himself forward and punched Electro in the face, sending them both to the ground. They both landed on the street, next to the grate. Peter then quickly grabbed Electro and pulled him closer.

He then cringed as he knew this was gonna hurt. He grabbed the cable and pulled it out of the grate, tearing it in two. He then turned to Electro "Hey, Electro."

He then held the torn cable above Electro, "Lights out." Peter said as he slammed the cable right onto Electro's chest.

Electro screamed in pain as multiple bolts of lightning shot out of his chest and into the sky. Everyone got up and saw them both screaming in pain as the sky was covered in yellow electricity.

Electro's skin then began to crack as yellow light seeped through. Peter screamed as the arm of his suit was being torn apart.

As Electro gave one final blood curdling scream, yellow light shone out of both of his eyes and mouth as Peter slammed the cable on his chest one last time.

Right after that moment, there was a massive explosion of yellow electricity from where both Electro and Peter were. All the screens in Times Square shut off due to the explosion.

Everyone quickly got up and rushed towards the area covered in smoke. Their worries subsided as they saw Peter walking out of the smoke with Electro over his shoulder.

Peter then dropped Electro to the floor as his new allies rushed over towards him.

"Wow. What a light show." Peter joked.

Twilight then glared daggers at him, "Do you have any idea how dangerous that was?!"

Peter shrugged in response, "All in a day's work, I suppose."

"You're crazy, y'know that?" Sonic said with a smirk.

Peter waved him off, "Don't worry, it's just my ribs..... and my internal organs."

Suddenly, a portal opened up beneath Electro and Zazz. The two villains fell through the portals, escaping capture. The portals then closed.

Peter then sighed and turned to the group, "Well, now it's official. Otto's playing a part in all of this as well."

Miles then scratched the back of his head, "What I wanna know is, what was the point in all of this?"

"Maybe that Electro person wanted to settle things with you." Twilight suggested.

"Or maybe it was a distraction." Shadow inputted.

"From what?" Sonic asked.

Shadow shook his head, "I don't know, and that's what worries me."

Back in Netherworld, Sombra was standing before the Interdimensional Gateway with some mind controlled ponies and Demon Gang members standing behind him.

He turned around as the gateway activated, "Alright, my loyal minions." He then turned back to the gateway, "Let's get things started with a bang." Sombra said as he smiled evilly.

Author's Note

What a battle.

Electro sure showed the heroes that he can be a real threat.

Stay tuned to see what Sombra has planned in the next chapter.

An Explosive Problem

Peter entered his lab in his normal attire with Sonic and Twilight following close behind. The two other worldly heroes observed the lab they were in, it wasn't much, but it was enough for Peter.

"Well, make yourselves comfortable." Peter said to the others as he approached a nearby workbench and laid out his damaged suit.

Sonic whistled, "Not bad, Pete."

Twilight was too busy observing the kind of technology Peter had at his disposal. To say she was impressed would be an understatement.

"Just imagine what this kind of technology could do for Equestria. It would be revolutionary." Twilight thought to herself as she approached a nearby computer.

Peter then got to work on repairing his suit, using the same materials Otto used when he made the Advanced Suit. This made Peter feel sad for a moment, thinking of what used to be, but he shook it off and continued to work.

Twilight then entered Peter's 'Office', as he called it. She looked around and saw pictures of Peter and Otto just after Peter had graduated college. She turned around and saw a wall filled with newspaper articles, each of them depicting Peter defeating one of his enemies. What caught her eye though was that somehow the newspaper articles made Peter out to be the bad guy.

She arched an eye brow in confusion, how in the world could they think Peter was the bad guy? She then walked over to a nearby bench and saw a podcast on the computer screen.

"'Just The Facts With J. Jonah Jameson'?" Twilight read out the name of the podcast.

She then pressed a button on the keyboard and started the podcast.

(End song)

(Start at 0:08)

Twilight chuckled a little bit, she knew it was Peter on the podcast with Jameson, although it seemed that Jameson wasn't aware of this. Once the podcast ended, she frowned.

"How could that jerk think Peter is a menace? He's saved countless lives, he's a hero!" Twilight exclaimed angrily.

She then walked out of the room, but not before knocking over some blueprints that were lying on the table. She sighed and picked them up with her magic. She then saw the blueprints. They were for a new suit. It looked amazing.

"Cool, huh?" Peter said as he and Sonic entered the room.

She turned and smiled at them, placing the blueprints down, "This looks incredible! The amount of technology inside this suit is revolutionary!" Twilight said happily.

Sonic chuckled, "You're such a nerd."

Twilight stuck her tongue out towards the blue hedgehog. Peter then had an idea.

"Y'know, I could always use some help with it." Peter said.

Twilight and Sonic turned to him with confused looks on their faces.

"You.... you mean it?" Twilight asked.

Peter shrugged, "Sure. And hey, maybe we can work on something for the two of you?"

Sonic smiled as Twilight squealed with excitement.

"OH MY GOSH! THANK YOU!!!!" Twilight screamed as she tackled Peter with a bone crushing hug.

Peter chuckled as Twilight let go, "Alright then. Let's get to work then, shall we?"

Meanwhile, at Grand Central Station, a portal opened up inside the station. The civilians inside looked on in confusion before Sombra and his minions stepped out of the portal. Members of the Demon Gang shot their guns into the air, causing everyone to scream in panic.

Everyone dropped to the floor as the mind controlled unicorns shot blasts from their horns. Sombra then walked over to the center of the station and placed a bomb on the ground. He then used his magic to arm it.

He smiled as he turned around, "Make sure no one gets inside this station!" Sombra yelled as he walked passed his minions.

He then stepped out of the doors leading outside with some Demon's following him. He looked up and saw two helicopters flying around Grand Central Station.

Sombra smiled, "Come and get me, fools."

(End song)

Back in the lab, Peter had finished repairing his suit and was helping Twilight design the blueprints. Sonic was speeding back and forth, bringing the geniuses whatever materials they needed.

"This is coming along well. The designs are complete, all we need to do is-"

"Breaking news! A bomb threat has been issued at the Grand Central Station!" The news broadcaster cut Twilight off. They each turned to the TV and watched, "A few minutes ago, a strange creature entered the Grand Central Station and planted a device that appears to be a bomb inside the station. There has been confirmation that there are hostages, we'll bring you more as the story develops."

The news then showed Sombra exiting the station from a helicopter camera.

"Sombra." Twilight growled.

"First Zazz and Captain Zappy, now this? This doesn't make any sense, what are they up to?" Sonic pondered.

"We'll figure it out later. Right now we have to save those people." Peter said as he grabbed his suit from the bench.

Sonic and Twilight nodded to one another before leaving the lab while Peter gets changed.

Back and Grand Central, Sombra was firing shots from his horn at the police cruisers that arrived on the scene.

He laughed as a police cruiser blew up into flames due to Sombra's attack, "HA! That's right. Flee from my wrath! The wrath of a king!"

Suddenly, a nearby Demon was webbed to a nearby wall. Sombra turned around, only for a mind controlled pony to be teleported away thanks to Twilight's magic.

Sombra then turned to see that his other minion was gone. He then faced forward as Spider-Man, Sonic, and Twilight landed before him.

Sombra snarled and prepared a blast of magic, but Sonic thought quickly and hit him with a Homing Attack, sending him rolling down the street. Peter then swung up to deal with the choppers while Sonic walked over to Sombra.

(End song)

Sonic then grabbed Sombra by the horn and got in his face, "What's the deactivation code?!"

"Okay, okay! It's F-A-U-S-T 2011!!!" Sombra revealed in alarm.

Sonic nodded to Twilight, who teleported into the building. Sombra then started laughing, much to Sonic's confusion.

"What's so funny?" Sonic asked.

"Oh nothing, it's just that you actually believed who had an edge over me." Sombra then smiled, "And that I gave that idiotic mare the detonation code."

Sonic's eyes widened as he released Sombra.

"TWILIGHT!!" Sonic shouted as he sped into the building.

After a few seconds, an explosion went off, shattering the windows in the station. Sombra then laughed maniacally as a portal opened behind him.

"I can't believe it was that easy. How did Ivo have so much trouble with that hedgehog anyway?" Sombra said as he entered the portal.

But once he exited the portal on the other side, he was grabbed by the neck by Eggman, who then slammed him into the nearest wall he could find.

"YOU IDIOTIC STALLION!!! HOW DARE YOU?!!!" Eggman shouted.

"Ngh....What is the meaning of this?......Release me!!!" Sombra demanded as Eggman squeezed his neck.

"Let's make one thing very clear, Sombra! The hedgehog is MINE to destroy! It is not the job of some self centered fool like you!!! Don't you get it?!!! I could carpet bomb him any day. But that's not enough!!! THAT'S NOT THE POINT!!! I have to beat him!!! I have to prove that I'M superior!!! There's a right and a wrong way to deal with your life long nemesis! And you did it very, VERY WRONG!!!" Eggman shouted in anger.

He then dropped Sombra to the floor and walked away as the dark king hacked and coughed while he rubbed his neck with his hoof. Eggman approached the computer screen and turned it on, "Lucky for you, Sonic is far too cunning for your barbarism."

The screen then showed Sonic and Twilight inside the station, with a purple bubble surrounding them and the hostages thanks to Twilight's magic.

Sombra growled in anger as he approached the screen, he was sure his plan would work. Eggman then scoffed as he walked towards the door of the room.

"And where are you going?" Sombra sneered.

Eggman smirked as he looked back towards his 'ally', "To show you how do destroy your life long nemesis. The right way."

Eggman then walked out of the room, leaving a very angry King Sombra in the room.

Sonic and Twilight teleported outside the station with the hostages. Paramedics and police officers rushed over and escorted the hostages to safety. Peter then swung down and landed in front of the two heroes.

"Choppers gone?" Sonic asked.

Peter nodded as he and the hedgehog fist bumped. Sonic then fist/hoof bumped with Twilight, as did Peter. Suddenly, a very large portal opened up in the sky above Grand Central Station. They all looked up and saw something coming through the portal.

Sonic then heard a very familiar voice, "Nya-hahahaha. You unsuspecting little hedgehog! Not even you will last long against this one!"

As he said that, Eggman arrived through the portal in a familiar, but different mech.

Eggman laughed as the heroes got into battle ready positions.

"Behold, the mixture of science and magic!!! The Dark Egg Dragoon!!!" Eggman shouted as giant purple flaming wings protruded from the mech's back.

Peter's eyes widened, "Woah. That thing is huge!" He turned to Sonic, "And you deal with this regularly?"

Sonic sighed and shrugged, "Almost on a daily basis."

Author's Note

Tensions are building between Eggman and Sombra.

This could be problematic for the villains.

Tune in next chapter to see the battle against the Dark Egg Dragoon!

Vs. Dark Egg Dragoon

"OH HO HO HO HO!!! TIME FOR A CHANGE OF PACE!" Eggman exclaimed.

Sonic turned to the others with a serious look on his face, "Guys, Eggman isn't gonna stop until I'm dead. That means he'll do anything to get me. Try and save as many people as you can. I'll hold him off." Sonic then dashed down the street, trying to lure Eggman to give chase.

"Don't think you'll get away that easily." said Eggman as the Dark Egg Dragoon flew after the hedgehog.

Spidey and Twilight looked down the street that Sonic ran down before nodding to one another and getting into action.

As Sonic dashed down the street, he glanced back behind him and saw Eggman approaching. Eggman then aimed the mini gun attached to the mech and fired. Sonic boosted forward and quickly moved to the left to dodge the barrage of bullets. Small chunks of debris shot up from the road as the bullets impacted the ground.

Eggman ceased fire and boosted forward, spinning around as he overtook Sonic. The mech then aimed its legs and fired two orbs of dark magic at the hedgehog. Sonic slowed down a little as the orbs impacted the ground, creating a small pit of purple fire where the orbs hit.

Sonic curled into a ball and jumped over the pit of flames. They both then approached the end of the street and had to turn to the next street.

"How about this?!" taunted Eggman.

The Dark Egg Dragoon then swung its legs back and forth, sending waves of dark magic down the street they were battling on. Sonic jumped over the waves of dark magic and continued to chase after Eggman. Eggman growled in annoyance and fired bullets from the mechs mini gun.

Sonic saw the attack and moved to the left. He then ran up the side of one of the many buildings on the street and continued to pursue Eggman. Sonic then jumped off the side of the building and curled into a ball. He then hit the cockpit of the mech with a Homing Attack.

Sonic flipped through the air and landed on the street. He smirked as he continued chasing after Eggman, who wasn't happy in the slightest.

"You little..."

Eggman then pressed some buttons on his console, smiling evilly. Suddenly, two parked cars on the street were engulfed in a purple aura and were levitated into the air. The cars then hovered in front of the mech.

"DODGE THIS!"

The cars were then launched at the blue blur. Sonic had to think quickly, he slid underneath an approaching car and jumped over another which was rolling down towards him. Eggman levitated two more cars, but this time he tore them in two and hurled them towards Sonic.

Sonic smiled as he jumped into the air and hit one after another with a multitude of Homing Attacks, getting closer to Eggman in the process. Once he was close enough, he hit the cockpit again with a Homing Attack.

Eggman growled as Sonic landed back on the street. They were then approaching the end of the road. Eggman then rose up further in the air. Sonic, not wanting to let Eggman get away, ran up the building at the end of the street, pursuing Eggman, "Where do you think you're going?!" shouted the blue blur.

Eggman then slowed his speed and flew in front of the building as Sonic ran up the building. Eggman then aimed the drill on the mech directly at the building. He then fired the drill directly at the building. Sonic's eyes widened as he increased his speed to avoid the incoming attack.

The drill tore through the side of the building, making a giant hole in the building. The drill burst through the other side of the building and teleported back onto the Dark Egg Dragoon's arm as Eggman flew higher towards the roof. Sonic then made it to the roof and skidded to a stop as Eggman ascended and hovered in front of the roof of the building.

"Such power exceeded even MY expectations! HA! My own genius scares me sometimes," shouted Eggman as he aimed the mini gun at Sonic, "Allow me to give you an exclusive preview, hedgehog."

Eggman then fired the mini gun, causing Sonic to run around the whole roof, avoiding the bullets. Eggman ceased fire and aimed the drill.

"FIRE!!!"

Eggman fired the drill, resulting in taking off some of the roof as it flew towards Sonic. Sonic curled into a ball and spin dashed out of the way of the drill. The drill then teleported back to the arm of the mech. Eggman then tore off pieces of the building and hovered them in front of him.

Eggman then hurled the debris towards Sonic, who didn't seemed fazed by the incoming attack. Sonic then sent an incoming piece of debris back towards Eggman with a Homing Attack. The debris hit the Dark Egg Dragoon, damaging it. Sonic then did it again, damaging the mech even more.

"STOP THAT!!!" shouted Eggman.

Eggman was about to attack again, but suddenly, a line of web stuck onto the glass of the cockpit. Eggman turned and looked at the webbing just as Spider-Man pulled himself forward and punched the glass of the cockpit, causing it to crack. Spidey then backflipped through the air and landed next to Sonic.

Eggman growled but the mech was suddenly struck in the back thanks to a magic blast from Twilight. Twilight then teleported next to her allies.

(Pause song)

"Hey, Robotnik. It's been a while," Twilight said with a smirk on her face.

Eggman growled in frustration, "I should have known that you'd interfere with my plans again, you annoying little alicorn!" Eggman then turned to Peter, "Ah, you must be Peter."

Peter's eyes widened, as did everyone else's. Otto told Eggman his identity.

"I must say, from what I've heard, you're a young prodigy. It's a shame we're not on the same side, you're mind could have been useful," Eggman continued as everyone glared at the mad doctor, "You know, it would be such a shame if you perished by my hand. Who would be there to teach young Miles? Or comfort Ms. Watson? Maybe when I'm done with all of you, I'll pay them a visit and," Eggman then smiled evilly, "Express my condolences."

That was the last straw, "YOU STAY AWAY FROM THEM!" shouted Peter.

Sonic then clenched his fists and glared hatefully at his nemesis, "If you go anywhere near them, Robotnik..."

Eggman then put on a mock look of surprise, "Oh? And what are you gonna do about it?"

Twilight then stepped forward, "We're going to stop you, just like we did before. You may have ultimate power on your side, but we have the magic of-"

"Yeah, yeah. Friendship, and flowers, and ponies, and BLEH!" Eggman mocked as he stuck his tongue out in disgust, "You really are a one note pony aren't you? Seriously, for the love of everything, just shut up about friendship, JEEZ!!!"

Twilight then huffed and pouted.

Eggman then rubbed his hands together, "Now then. I'm on a tight schedule, so without further ado," He then aimed the mechs gun at the heroes, "GET A LOAD OF THIS!!!"

(Resume song)

As the gun fires, Twilight quickly casts a shield spell to protect them from the bullets. Eggman ceases fire as Twilight drops the shield. Eggman then flies around the building until he stops at the other side of the building. Eggman then levitates pieces of rubble from the building and hurls it at the heroes.

Spidey quickly shoots a line of web at an incoming piece of rubble and tosses it back towards Eggman, damaging the mech. Sonic hits a piece back with a Homing Attack, hitting the mech. Twilight grabs an incoming piece with her magic and sends it back towards Eggman.

"Not bad."

Eggman then aims the mechs drill and fires it. Thinking quickly, they all move out of the way before it can hit any of them. As it passes, Twilight quickly holds it in place with her magic. She struggles to hold it in place, so Peter quickly catches onto her plan and shoots webbing from both of his Web Shooters and sticks them on the drill.

Twilight releases the drill as Peter swings it around thanks to his super strength. He then releases the drill and it hits the Dark Egg Dragoon in it belly, damaging it severely.

"NYA!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! THIS IS A SENSITIVE MACHINE!!!" Eggman shouts in panic.

Sonic then runs forward and hops onto the drill. He then hops off of it and curls into a ball, he then hits the cockpit with a Homing Attack, damaging it even more.

The mech gets launched away from the building, sparking with electricity as the damage it has taken begins to show. Eggman growls as he teleports the drill back onto the mechs arm. He then slams his fist onto his console, causing the mech to be engulfed in an aura of purple flame.

"MWAHAHA! CATCH ME IF YOU CAN!" Eggman shouts as the mech flies backwards.

Twilight then takes flight to pursue the mad doctor. Eggman then aims the mechs gun at the alicorn and fires a barrage of bullets. Twilight sways left and right to avoid the bullets, angering Eggman. Eggman ceases fire just as Twilight fires a beam from her horn.

Eggman smirks as the mech teleported out of the way, confusing Twilight.

"BEHIND YOU!"

Before she can react, she is smacked away by the massive gun on the mechs arm. She rolls and turns through the air before she crashes through the window of a nearby building. As Twilight struggles to get up, Eggman hovers in front of the broken window and aims the mechs drill.

"YOU'RE HISTORY!" shouted Eggman.

Peter and Sonic's eyes widen in fear. Sonic then turns to Peter, "Pete. Throw me."

Peter is confused but then realizes what he intends to do. Sonic then jumped into the air and curled into a ball. Peter then grabs Sonic with his webbing and begins to spin him around. Once they've gained enough momentum, Peter hurls Sonic towards the Dark Egg Dragoon.

"HEY EGGMAN!!!" Sonic shouted as he drew closer to Eggman.

Eggman turned around and then widened his eyes, "NO!!!"

Before Eggman could do anything, Sonic plows through the upper half of the mech. Once he tore through the other side, the Dark Egg Dragoon began to explode. As Sonic untucked, he was suddenly held in place by a magenta aura. He looked and saw Twilight smiling at him as she held him with his magic.

Eggman growled as he ejected his Egg Mobile out of the Dark Egg Dragoon. The mech then exploded as it fell to the street below.

(End song)

Twilight then levitated Sonic to the rooftop and then teleported herself there, standing next to Sonic and Spider-Man. They watched as a portal opened up in the sky. They then saw Eggman approaching the portal.

"SONIC! DON'T THINK YOU'VE WON THIS!!!" Eggman shouted as he entered the portal.

The portal closed after Eggman entered it. Everyone sighed in relief and then turned to one another.

"I still don't know how you deal with that all the time." Peter said to Sonic.

Sonic shrugged in response, "Eh, you get used to it."

Suddenly, Peter's phone rings, interrupting the conversation. Peter then answers it, "Hey, MJ."

"Peter! You and the others have to get to Central Park!" MJ said with fear in her voice.

Peter looked confused, "Why?"

"Because Miles and Shadow are fighting Scorpion and one of those Zeti things! Miles is hurt bad and they need back up!" MJ replied.

Author's Note

Stay tuned for the fight with Scorpion and Zor.

Vs. Scorpion & Zor

(A few hours before the fight with Eggman)

Peter, Sonic, and Twilight had just left the apartment to go to Peter's lab, they offered for the others to come with, but Miles said that he would stay to keep an eye on his Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man App incase there was any trouble. When Sonic asked Shadow, he just got a hmph in response.

It's been an hour since then, right now Spike and MJ were talking while working on MJ's laptop, Miles was sitting on the couch next to them, scrolling through his phone, and Shadow was standing in the corner with his eyes closed and his arms crossed, deep in thought.

Spike then glanced towards Miles and saw him on his phone. Curious, he leaned over towards Miles to see what he was doing, "What are you doing, Miles?"

Miles turned and gave him a kind smile, "Oh nothing much, Spike. I'm just scrolling through my Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man app."

Spike tilted his head in confusion, "What's that?" asked Spike, curious as to what he was talking about.

Miles then leaned towards Spike to give him a better view of his phone, "Check it out. So, this app lets me see if anyone is in any trouble. If they are, I get an alert and I go over to where they are and help them out in any way I can." Miles explained as he scrolled through the phone, showing Spike what he meant.

"But, how can they alert you that they are in trouble?" asked Spike.

Miles knew that he was gonna have to explain it a little better for the baby dragon, but he couldn't blame Spike for not getting it. After all, this was an entirely new thing for him, "Okay, so people can download this app onto their phones, which is what I'm holding now, and if they have a problem they just post on the app what their problem is, I get an alert on my phone and I swing over and help them."

Thankfully Spike seemed to understand and nodded, "Wow! That's so cool!"

Shadow opened one of his slightly and listened in on their conversation. After what he heard, even he had to admit, this app wasn't a bad idea. It appeared that this boy was smarter than he originally thought. Suddenly, Miles' phone went off and his screen showed an image. Miles tapped on his phone screen and read what the alarm said.

MJ looked over curiously, "What is it, Miles?"

Miles glanced over to MJ, "Someone spotted something strange in Central Park," Miles then put his phone in his pocket and put on his mask, "I'll be back. Hopefully it's nothing."

Shadow then uncrossed his arms and walked over, "You think this alert warrants an investigation?"

Miles shrugged, "Better than just sitting around here."

Shadow sighed, he couldn't help but agree, "Alright. I'm going with you."

Spike was about to speak but Shadow cut him off, "You're staying here. It might be nothing, but if it has anything to do with the matter at hand, it will be too dangerous for you to be there. You could get hurt."

"Sorry, Spike. But he does have a point." Miles added.

Spike then sighed in disappointment but eventually nodded in agreement. Miles and Shadow then nodded to one another before Shadow used Chaos Control to exit the apartment while Miles opened the window and jumped out. Miles then swung towards Central Park while Shadow skated on the road.

Miles let go of the rope of web and flipped through the air, eventually landing in Central Park, where Shadow was leaning next to a tree, waiting for him.

"What took you?" Shadow said with a slight smirk.

"Just a reminder. Super speed, I don't have it." Miles replied.

Shadow chuckled and walked over towards Miles, "Noted." replied Shadow.

"HEY, SPIDER-MAN!" A sudden voice called out.

They both turned around and saw a female rush over towards them.

"Are you the one who sent out the alert?" asked Miles.

The woman nodded, "Yes. Thank goodness you're here."

"What appears to be the problem, ma'am?" Shadow asked.

The woman glanced down towards Shadow and then turned to Miles with a confused look on her face.

"He's a friend." Miles said simply.

The woman then exhaled and said, "Well, everything was normal around here. That is, until a weird 'portal' looking thing opened up above Belvedere Castle, and that Scorpion villain jumped out with a weird looking creature. He looked very depressed."

Shadow and Miles glanced at one another before turning to the woman, "Don't worry. We'll handle it." Miles said to the woman.

With one final nod to the woman, both heroes headed towards Belvedere Castle to handle to situation.

(End song)

Miles landed on the branch of a nearby tree while Shadow stopped next to the tree and assumed a crouched position. They saw several Demon Thugs patrolling the castle. They looked closer and saw Scorpion overseeing some thugs hauling some familiar looking weapons through an open portal.

Shadow looked up at Miles, "It appears they are taking what doesn't belong to them and bringing it to their base of operations."

"That's Sable International's weapons and gear." Miles clarified.

"Sable International?"

Miles glanced down towards Shadow, "They're a private army of mercenaries that'll do anything as long as the price is right. They were stationed here in New York a few years back," Miles explained, "Pete and I have heard rumors that Sable hid some tech underneath the city, just in case they needed to come back."

Shadow nodded and faced the castle, "It appears those rumors were accurate."

"We have to stop them." Miles said as he shot a line of web and swung towards the castle. Shadow then skated after him.

(End song)

Zor looked down at his dying rose as the last petal fell to the ground. He sighed depressingly, "And with that, the rose finally dies, and every dimension will do the same." Zor said sadly.

Scorpion facepalmed as he climbed down from the wall of the castle and flipped down to land next to Zor, "Is everything you say so.....depressing?"

If Zor was going to reply, he didn't have the chance as his mouth was suddenly webbed shut. They both turned around and saw Miles and Shadow land in front of them.

"Yeah, I have to agree with Gargan. You're a real downer, dude." Miles quipped.

Scorpion growled and turned to his henchmen, "Get the weapons in the portal!!!"

Shadow clenched his fist, "Not gonna happen."

Scorpion chuckled and turned around to face his enemies, "And what are you chumps gonna do about it?" He then got down on all fours and aimed his tail.

(End song)

Zor then sighed as he leaped into the air and landed on top of the castle, Miles shot a line of web and pursued after him. Shadow and Scorpion walked around each other in a circular motion, waiting for one of them to make the first move. Scorpion then shot some acid from his tail, Shadow skated forward and flipped through the air to dodge the acidic projectile.

Shadow curled into a ball and tried to hit Scorpion with a Homing Attack, but Scorpion simply swatted him away with his tail. Shadow crashed into a pile of boxes, he shook his head and teleported away. He then reappeared behind Scorpion and tried to roundhouse kick him, but Scorpion saw this coming and back flipped over the black hedgehog.

He landed behind him and tried to stab him with his tail, but Shadow swayed to the left and grabbed the tail. He then tossed Scorpion into a wall. As Scorpion tried to get up, Shadow boosted towards the villain and elbowed him in the chest, slamming Gargan into the wall once again.

Shadow then hit Scorpion with a multitude of punches and kicks, showing no sign of letting up. But unbeknownst to Shadow, Gargan readied his tail and slowly raised it behind the hedgehog. He then caught Shadow's incoming punch and smiled.

He then stabbed Shadow in the back with his tail. Shadow gritted his teeth in pain, but he couldn't do anything more as Scorpion punched Shadow in the face, sending him back.

Shadow regained his posture as Scorpion leaped into the air in an attempt to hit the hedgehog. Shadow smirked, "CHAOS SPEAR!!!"

Shadow then fired his Chaos Spear attack at Scorpion, the attack sent Gargan flying through the air. He would have crashed into the wall, but he flipped through the air and landed on the wall, using his claws to hold him to the wall.

He then aimed his tail and fired shots of acid at Shadow. Shadow skated forward and moved left and right to dodge the attacks. He then leaped into the air and reeled back a punch, but to his shock, Scorpion disappeared. Shadow quickly turned his body around and pushed himself away from the castle with his feet.

Shadow then landed on the ground and took notice of his surroundings. Everything seemed hazy and green. He then turned around and saw four Scorpions clones approaching him. Shadow readied a Chaos Spear, but he was suddenly batted away by a Scorpion clone standing behind him.

Shadow rolled on the ground and struggled to get up, but he suddenly felt really sick.

"You feel that, don't you?" Shadow then heard Gargan's voice in his head, "Right now, my toxin is affecting your mind. You can't think straight. Soon you won't be able to move. And eventually, you won't be able to breathe."

Shadow then fell to the ground as the Scorpion clones walked closer and closer towards him.

(End song)

As Miles landed on top of the castle, Zor lifted himself into the air and hovered above the castle. He then fired purple blasts from his hands to try and hit Miles. Miles web zipped out of the way and flipped to avoid the purple projectiles.

"Just accept your fate, we all have to eventually." Zor said to Miles.

"Okay, seriously! You're such a downer!" Miles replied.

Zor then summoned a flock of black bats and they flew down towards Miles. Miles shot web projectiles at the flock of bats, the bats then disappeared on impact. Miles then shot a line of webbing at Zor, only for Zor to catch the web line and tug it towards him, pulling Miles into the air towards him.

Once close enough, Zor punched Miles to the ground thanks to his enhanced strength. Miles crashed on top of the castle and groaned in pain.

"H....How are you.....so strong?" Miles muttered as he got back up.

Zor then summoned some more bats, except this time, instead of flying towards Miles, they swirled around one another and then amalgamated into shadow clones of Zor. The shadow clones landed on the castle and fired purple blasts from their hands.

Miles ran forward and jumped up into the air to avoid the blasts. He then charged up his Venom abilities and then slammed his fist onto the roof of the building, making the clones disappear. He sighed in relief, only for the clones to reappear.

"OH COME ON!"

The clones ran towards Miles. Miles charged up his fists and punched the clones that got close enough, making them dissipate into thin air. As he was fighting, the real Zor landed behind him and ran towards the young spider. Zor then shoulder charged Miles off of the castle roof.

Miles thought quickly and shot a line of web and swung around the building. He landed on the ground and quickly called MJ.

MJ answered the call, "Hey, Miles. What's up?"

"MJ! We need help ASAP! Scorpion and some Zeti thing, I think that's what they're called, are here and I'm hurting really bad. Call Pete! We-" Miles never got to finish as Zor blasted him from behind.

The call ended and Miles struggled to get up.

(End song)

Shadow and Miles were down for the count. Scorpion walked over to Zor with a smirk on his face, "Not bad."

Zor sighed and walked away, leaving Gargan to face palm in annoyance. The villains turned to the portal behind them and saw their goons haul off the last of the weapons.

Scorpion turned to Zor, "Come on. Our job here is done."

The two villains then walked into the portal, their job completed. Shadow tried to get back up, but he eventually fell back down to the ground, defeated. The last thing he saw was the portal closing as the villains entered.

Miles tried to stay awake, but he couldn't muster the strength and fell down, unconscious. The last thing he heard was the sound of a sonic boom and saw a blurry blue figure heading towards him.

Author's Note

Shadow got cocky and that costed him the battle while Miles is facing a new foe, so he didn't know what to expect.

Btw, Shadow has the ability to teleport at will, kind of like his Sonic Boom counterpart. Just thought I'd clarify that.

Anyway, a breather chapter is up next.

Stay tuned.

A Talk Between Two Interdimensional Friends

Miles slowly opened up his eyes, his vision blurry. His vision eventually cleared up and he saw the ceiling of MJ's apartment. He slowly sat up and placed a hand to his forehead, groaning in pain.

"What.....What happened?" Miles asked groggily.

"You got your butt whooped, that's what." Peter said in a disappointed tone.

Miles looked around and saw Peter, MJ, Twilight, and Sonic looking at him. Sonic and Twilight were standing near the window while Peter and MJ were standing next to the couch Miles was laying on. Spike then walked in from the kitchen with a cup of coffee in his hands. He walked over and handed it to Miles, who gladly accepted it.

"What were you thinking going after Scorpion like that?" Peter asked in a serious tone, "You should've waited for backup. You could've been killed."

Sonic then turned to Peter, "Well, it's not like we could've offered backup even if we tried."

"He's right," Twilight added, "We were busy dealing with Robotnik. If we didn't stop him, he would've caused destruction with that dragon robot of his."

Peter sighed, "Good point," he turned to Miles, "It was still reckless and dangerous. But, what were they even doing there in the first place?"

"Uh, they were stealing some Sable International weapons." Miles revealed.

Peter sighed and dragged his face down his face, "Great. Just terrific."

Sonic turned to Peter, "I'm assuming that's bad."

"You have no idea."

Miles then looked around the room, "Where's Shadow?"

"After Peter administered the cure for Scorpions toxin, Shadow teleported out of the room and is somewhere in the city." MJ replied.

"He had serious issues. He didn't even say thank you." Spike muttered.

Twilight looked at Spike disapprovingly.

"Anyway, Sable International is a private army with really advanced tech. If Otto and the others have their hands on that kind of weaponry..." Peter said.

"Then things just got much worse." Miles finished.

"What I wanna know is, what exactly are they up to?" Spike asked.

Twilight sighed, "I don't know, Spike. Every move they've made has made no sense whatsoever."

Sonic then widened his eyes in realization, "Hey yeah! When they attacked our dimensions, they had a whole army of ships and goons. But after they took our friends, they just upped and left." Sonic surmised.

"Yeah, when Otto came back, there was an army of ships hovering above New York," Peter added as he stepped forward, "But have any of you noticed the lack of ships in the sky?"

"I think they're purposefully attacking at random, but why?" Twilight asked.

Miles shrugged, "To distract us?"

"But from what?" MJ asked.

"From finding where their base is," Peter concluded, "Because if we find their base, we can stop whatever they're planning."

"And they know that you guys won't stand by when there are innocent people in danger." MJ added.

Sonic then clenched his fists, "Using innocent lives to distract us from stopping them, that's low, even for Eggman."

Spike then stroked his chin in thought, "What I wanna know is, what's the deal with those portals?" Spike then turned to Sonic, "I mean, those portals don't look like the portal you and Tails went through when you left our world the first time."

Sonic's eyes then widened, Spike was right. What's more is that those portals look very familiar, very similar to.....

"Oh my gosh. I know where they are." Sonic said in realization.

Everyone then turned to Sonic in surprise.

Sonic, seeing this, decided to continue, "Their base is in a Special Zone."

Miles raised an eyebrow at that, "A Special Zone?"

Sonic nodded, "Tails knows more about them than I do, but they're basically dimensions in between dimensions."

"Is there a way to get to this 'Special Zone'?" Twilight asked.

"Yeah, but they're incredibly difficult to get to, not to mention finding a portal is very rare," Sonic said as he closed his eyes, "Not to mention that it looks like they can control those portals and decide where they end up. So even if we could get to one, they could just send us anywhere they want."

Peter then raised his arms in frustration, "Great! So basically we have no way to reach them unless they want us to!" Peter then dragged his palm down his face, "Curse my Parker Luck."

"Looks like it's going to be awhile until things go back to normal." Sonic muttered in disappointment.

Twilight then looked at Sonic in slight sadness. Did he not want to see her again? She definitely didn't want to go back to being alone. Tears then threatened to fall from her eyes, she wiped her eyes with her foreleg, "I'll....I'll be right back."

Twilight then teleported out of the room in a purple flash. Everyone looked on in confusion, except Spike, who sighed in sadness, "Just great." he said sarcastically.

Sonic looked at the dragon in confusion, "What was that about?"

"She's been real depressed lately, she feels lonely. She said that she regrets becoming a princess." Spike revealed.

Sonic then look sad, he had no idea that Twilight was feeling this way. He then turned to the door and dashed out to find his friend.

Twilight was sitting on the ledge of the Empire State Building, crying silently. She didn't want to lose her friend again. She just got him back, didn't he feel the same? Wasn't he glad to see her again? Why was she doubting her friendship with the blue blur?

She sighed in sadness. She then heard a noise from behind her and turned around to see Sonic standing there with a kind smile on his face.

Sonic then stepped forward, "Took me awhile to find you, Twi," Sonic then stopped when Twilight frowned at him, "Wanna talk about it?"

Twilight sighed and turned away from him, "Why? You clearly aren't happy to see me again. You just want things to go back to normal. To go back to your own life.... without me."

Twilight then started sobbing silently, but she stopped when she felt Sonic's hand on her shoulder. She turned to face him as he sat down on the ledge next to her, "Now why would you think that?"

Twilight then frowned, "You said you'd visit! You said we'd stay in contact! But you never visited! You never even made an attempt to make contact!" she then stood up and walked away from the ledge, "Was what we went through a lie?!" she then stopped and turned around to face him, "I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS!!! WHY DID YOU ABANDON ME?! WHY HAS EVERPONY ABANDONDED ME?!!"

She then broke down into loud sobs and fell on her haunches as tears fell from her eyes. Sonic looked at his friend in sadness, this was worse than he thought. She was doubting everything she knew. He then dashed over and pulled her into a tight embrace.

As she sobbed, he rubbed her back in comfort.

Sonic then whispered into her ear, "It's okay. I'm here, I'll never abandon you," he then pulled away and looked into her eyes, "I'm sorry that I never visited or made contact. But I promise you, our friendship is very real. And I promise you, I will never make you feel this way again."

Twilight sniffled, "P...promise?"

Sonic smiled, "Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye."

Once he finished the Pinkie Promise, Twilight practically leapt into his arms and sobbed. As she cried into his chest, Sonic had a look of determination on his face.

"I promise, I will never hurt you again, Twilight Sparkle. I swear it." Sonic thought to himself as he continued to hug Twilight.

Author's Note

Thought I'd add a heartfelt moment between Sonic and Twilight.

This isn't the last time we'll cover Twilight's depression.

Next time is another battle chapter.

Stay tuned.

Vs. Rhino & Zomom

"It's just..... Ever since I became Princess...... I....... I feel like me and my friends are slowly drifting apart," Twilight explained as she sniffled, "I've just been so lonely lately. And sure I've got Spike, but I can't exactly talk to him. I mean I can, but.... Well.... You know what I mean."

Sonic sat next to the sad alicorn on the edge of the Empire State Building, his hand on her shoulder in comfort.

"Hey, I get it. There are some things that you can't talk to him about. He's too young to understand, heck, I have the same problem with Tails believe it or not." said Sonic in understanding.

Twilight turned to the hedgehog and arched an eyebrow, "Why do I find that hard to believe?"

Sonic chuckled and sighed, "I mean, I don't blame you for not believing me. Tails and I are pretty much inseparable. But there are some things that I can't talk to him about, after all, he's eight years old," Sonic then wrapped his arm around Twilight, "But just because you haven't seen your friends in a while doesn't mean you guys are drifting apart. Have you made an effort to see them?"

Twilight sighed and looked down, "Yes, on multiple occasions. But they're always too busy with their own lives. Not to mention that they never send letters to me anymore."

Sonic then looked determined, "Then that's on them, not on you. You're making an effort to keep in touch, sure they may have other plans, but if they aren't writing you as much as they used to, then that's not your fault. Not at all," Twilight then turned to the hedgehog comforting her, "And I want you to know, from the bottom of my heart. I am so sorry for making you feel like you don't matter, and I promise you, that I'll never make you feel like that ever again."

Tears then fell down Twilights cheeks as she wrapped her forelegs around the hedgehog, to which Sonic returned. As Twilight sobbed, Sonic stroked her mane with his hand in hopes of calming her down. The embrace ended and Sonic smiled at Twilight.

"Feeling better?"

Twilight nodded and returned the smile.

Sonic then stood up and gazed into the sunset, "Alright then," he then turned to Twilight, "Come on. We got some villains to stop."

Twilight smiled and nodded as she stood up next to Sonic.

Suddenly, an explosion went off near Harlem. It was so large that it could be seen from the Empire State Building. Sonic and Twilight's eyes widened in horror.

Sonic then turned to Twilight, "Twi."

"On it!" Twilight replied, already knowing what her friend was going to say.

She charged up her horn and teleported them both to Harlem.

Down in Harlem, NYPD officers were shooting their guns at the raging villain known only as, The Rhino. Rhino roared a a beastly roar and charged right towards the officers. Said officers quickly made the smart choice and ran away as Rhino plowed right through their police cruisers.

Zomom picked up a nearby parked car with his strength and threw it towards the officers of the law. The officers braced themselves, but suddenly, the car exploded as a green spear looking projectile destroyed the car before it crushed the officers.

Zomom looked confused, until Shadow teleported in front of the officers with his arms crossed.

Shadow turned to the officers, "What are you waiting for? GO!!!"

The officers nodded and got out of there as Shadow walked towards Zomom. Rhino roared as he prepared to charge at the hedgehog, but he was interrupted by a Homing Attack to the face. As Rhino fell to one knee, he looked and saw Twilight and Sonic standing before him.

"Someone call for animal control?" Sonic quipped.

Rhino stood up and smashed his fist on the ground in an attempt to hit Sonic and Twilight. But Twilight saw this coming and quickly teleported her and Sonic out of harms way.

Rhino turned around and saw them reappear on the other side of the street, "I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS!!!"

Rhino then charged down the street, causing destruction as he ran. Sonic saw this and ran after him with Twilight taking to the air and flying along side Sonic. Rhino plowed through the street, knocking parked cars into buildings and stores. He used his massive horn to knock any cars that were driving his way.

If it wasn't for Twilight teleporting the civilians out of the car before it crashed, they would've been toast. Sonic chased after Rhino, eventually catching up to him and running alongside the villain.

"Can I see your license and registration please?" Sonic joked.

"GET LOST!!!" yelled Rhino.

They were coming up to the end of the road. Sonic had an idea, he could hit Rhino as he's turning. But that idea went right out the window as Rhino leaped into the air and went through the side of a building. Rhino plowed through the building and landed on the road and continued to charge through the streets of New York.

Sonic slowed down and eventually came to a stop, looking in awe of the destruction that Rhino caused.

"So much for that idea." Sonic sighed as he sped up and continued to chase after Rhino with Twilight following close behind.

As they chased after the rhinoceros villain, Twilight decided that enough was enough. She created a barrier of magic in front of Rhino's path, in hopes of slowing him down. Those thoughts were short lived as Rhino charged right through the barrier, smashing it to pieces.

Twilight looked in awe, just how strong was he? She shook off her thoughts and continued after him.

(End song)

Shadow leapt into the air to avoid Zomom, who smashed down onto the ground, creating violent tremors that shook the street they were battling on. Zomom then charged forward at high speeds, but Shadow used his rocket shoes to propel himself into the air and fly behind Zomom.

Shadow then boosted forward and elbowed the Zeti in the back of the head, knocking him down.

Zomom then smacked the road with his fist as he stood back up, "I'M GONNA DEVOUR YOU!!!"

Shadow smirked, "Sorry, but I'm not into that."

Zomom roared as he spun around at high speeds, creating multiple dust tornadoes around him. The tornadoes moved towards Shadow, tearing the ground beneath them apart as they moved. Shadow simply teleported away, letting the tornadoes do their thing before they dissipated into nothingness.

Zomom slowed down and stopped spinning. He looked around to see where Shadow teleported off to.

"You're pathetic." Shadow said to Zomom, who looked upwards and saw Shadow standing on a rooftop.

Zomom roared and jumped up onto the roof to continue the battle. Zomom landed on the roof and glared at Shadow. Zomom threw a punch at the Ultimate Lifeform, but Shadow simply ducked under the attack and punched Zomom in the gut.

As Zomom wretched in pain, Shadow took this chance to walk towards Zomom.

"I underestimated one of you creatures once," Shadow then clenched his fist and boosted forward, "Never again."

Shadow then uppercut Zomom in the chin, sending the Zeti flying off of the building and crashing on the street. Zomom got back up and leaped into the air, only to start spinning around and dive back down towards the street. Zomom then burrowed into the ground and made his way to the building.

Shadow arched an eyebrow in confusion before he could feel the building start to shake. Before Shadow could do anything, Zomom shot out of the roof and hit Shadow in the chin. As the building crumbled to the ground, Shadow jumped from one piece of rubble to the next until he landed on the ground.

Zomom landed on the street and charged forward towards Shadow.

(End song)

That is until a line of web attached itself to the Zeti's back, stopping Zomom in his tracks. Zomom turned around, only to receive a Venom Punch to the face, curtesy of Miles. The punch sent the Zeti straight to the ground while Miles flipped over the Zeti and landed next to Shadow.

Shadow and Miles nodded at one another as Zomom got back up.

Miles shot web into Zomom's eye, blinding the Zeti, "Hey, tubby! Ya got some web in your eye!" Miles exclaimed as Shadow boosted forward.

Shadow then jumped up and knocked Zomom to the ground with a roundhouse kick, finishing this battle.

(End song)

Miles walked over towards Shadow, who turned to face the young hero.

"Took you long enough." Shadow said with a slight smirk on his face.

Miles responded with a hand gesture that would confuse Twilight, but Shadow knew it all to well. He chuckled and turned to the defeated Zeti.

"Where's the other spider?" Shadow asked Miles without facing him directly.

Miles glanced towards the fallen Zeti, "Rhino duty."

(Start from 15:20)

Rhino leapt into the air and landed in one of Fisk's old construction sites. Sonic and Twilight both landed behind him as Rhino slammed the ground.

Rhino then turned around to face the interdimensional heroes, "And what are you two creatures going to do?"

Sonic and Twilight both glanced at each other and smirked before turning back to Rhino.

"We're gonna send you back to the zoo." Sonic replied.

Rhino roared and leaped into the air before smashing his fist on the ground, but not before Sonic and Twilight moved out of the way. Rhino's punch caused tremors that shook the ground something fierce. Rhino turned to his left to face Twilight. Rhino smirked as he charged right towards the alicorn.

Twilight took to the air before Rhino could inflict any harm upon her. She then used her magic to levitate some scaffolding into the air before throwing it at Rhino. After being hit, Rhino stumbled before falling to one knee, giving Sonic the opportunity to hit him in the face with a Homing Attack, sending him to the ground.

As Rhino tried to get up, Sonic ran circles around the villain, creating a blue tornado around him. While Sonic blinded Rhino, Twilight fired multiple blasts from her horn, hitting Rhino several times. Sonic then skidded to a stop in front of Rhino, as the tornado disappeared, Sonic quickly leapt towards Rhino and punched him in the face.

Rhino fell to the ground as Sonic landed behind him. Twilight then levitated Sonic into the air with her magic. Sonic then curled into a ball and started revving. Rhino got back up and faced the two heroes. Twilight then launched Sonic at the villain, only to be caught by Rhino.

"Uh, how you say? BATTER UP!!!" Rhino yelled as he hurled Sonic directly at Twilight.

Twilight was hit in the chest by Sonic and they both fell to the ground, groaning in pain. Rhino approached the two fallen heroes and loomed over them.

"Awe. You look broken," Rhino said as he raised his foot, "Now to put end to this chase of goose!"

(End song)

But before he could finish them off, Peter swung down and kicked Rhino in the face, knocking him down.

"Pick on somebody.....Or pony......Or hedgehog your own size, Rhino!"

Rhino got back up and roared at the hero, "I TOLD YOU, THERE IS NO ONE MY SIZE, PAUK!!!"

Rhino then charged forward, but Peter ran forward and reeled back a punch. Peter then punched Rhino in the face as hard as he could, sending the villain to the ground. Twilight and Sonic then noticed a crane holding a cylinder object above Rhino. They smirked at one another before Sonic dashed forward and ran around Rhino again, creating another blue tornado.

Twilight then used her magic to release the cylinder from the crane. Sonic then ran out of the way as the cylinder landed on top of Rhino, defeating him.

(End song)

Twilight landed as Sonic skidded to a stop in front of her. Sonic and Twilight hoofed/fist bumped as Peter swung over and landed in front of the two.

"You guys all good?" Peter asked.

Twilight nodded as Sonic gave him a thumbs up, "We're all good here," Sonic turned to Twilight, "Just had to have a little talk with a friend."

Twilight blushed in embarrassment as Peter chuckled. They then heard a whooshing noise coming from where Rhino was laying down. They turned and saw Rhino fall into a portal in the ground, escaping capture.

The portal closed as Sonic groaned in frustration, "SERIOUSLY?! AGAIN?!"

Peter turned to Twilight and Sonic, "Come on. We've gotta come up with a plan if we're gonna fix this mess."

Sonic and Twilight nodded as they left the construction site and headed towards the apartment, ready to come up with a plan.

Author's Note

Next chapter is the conclusion to Act 2.

Stay tuned.

(Act 2 Finale) Next Stop....Mobius

"No way! So you guys are saying that Discord was Grogar?!" Knuckles asked.

Applejack nodded, "Eeyep. Apparently it was to help Twi gain confidence in herself."

Discord raised his hands in defense, "Hey, in my defense.....I thought it was a good idea."

"IF WE WEREN'T IN DIFFERENT CELLS I WOULD BEAT THE CRAP OUTTA YOU!!!" Knuckles shouted in anger.

Rouge rolled her eyes, "Oh, here we go."

During their time as prisoners, everyone decided to get to know one another, to pass the time and hopefully forge new friendships. The Mobians told the Equestrians about themselves and their adventures, and the Equestrians did the same.

"I still can't believe Sonic fought a Time God, a Water God, and an ancient Dark God and won!" Rainbow exclaimed in amazement.

Amy nodded, "Yep. And guessed who caused all of that?"

Pinkie started bouncing around her cell, "OOH, OOH, OOH! I LOVE GUESSING GAMES! DO YOU GUYS LOVE GUESSING GAMES?! I CAN'T WAIT TO-"

Pinkie was cut off by Rarity clearing her throat, preventing the party pony from going into hyper mode, "Darling, I believe it is quite obvious as to who caused those horrible events."

Fluttershy then spoke up, "Um.....Surely he couldn't have caused every single one."

Rainbow crossed her forelegs, "I'll bet every single bit I own that he did."

Pinkie looked confused, "Um, who are we talking about?"

Applejack sighed and facehoofed, "We're talkin' 'bout Eggman, Sugarcube."

"Oh.....That makes sense." Pinkie replied.

Tails stroked his chin in thought, "What I wonder is, what is he up to?"

Cream cuddled Cheese in fear, "It won't be anything nice."

"It can't be anything good." Amy added.

Vector rolled his eyes, "It's Eggman. It's never good."

"Knowing Eggman, he's already planning something diabolical, evil. I bet right now he's doing the most evil thing he possibly can." Tails said aloud.

"SEGWAY!!!" Pinkie and Discord shouted in unison.

Meanwhile, Eggman, Otto, and Sombra are busy building their ultimate weapon of destruction.

"NO, NO, NO! We need that power for the mouth laser!!!" Eggman exclaimed.

Otto scoffed, "Ivo, we need mobility. How are we meant to conquer any dimension we choose when we CAN'T MOVE?!!"

Sombra then threw a wrench at the two doctors with his magic, "WHY ARE WE EVEN ARGUING ABOUT THIS?!! WE DON'T EVEN HAVE THE PROPER POWER SOURCE YET!!! In fact.....WHY ARE WE EVEN BUILDING THIS THING?!!!"

Eggman facepalmed, "I offered to have my Badniks build it, but Otto wanted it to have a craftsman's touch."

"We can build our ultimate weapon just as well as your lackeys can, Ivo." Otto replied.

"Well excuse me. I just want our Sinister Egg Core to be perfect!" Eggman seethed.

"I'm still not fancy on the name." Otto muttered.

Eggman then threw his blowtorch on the ground and stomped over towards Otto, much to the annoyance of Sombra, "Oh, don't get him started on that again." Sombra muttered.

Eggman then got in Otto's face, "Okay, I'm going to explain this one more time. The Sinister prefix is your naming convention as you literally named your team the Sinister Six! The Egg prefix is my naming convention for all my mechs. And the Core means the core weapon to our victory! Therefore-"

Otto then waved him off, "Yeah, yeah, I get it, Ivo."

Sombra then realized something, "HEY WAIT A MINUTE! WHERE'S MY NAMING PREFIX?!!"

The two doctors ignored the unicorn and continued bickering, "Well, maybe if you listened, I wouldn't have to repeat myself!" Eggman exclaimed.

"HEY!!! ARE YOU IGNORING ME?!!!"

Otto then slammed two of his mechanical arms on the ground, "Well, maybe if you could come up with a decent mech that could strike fear in the hearts of our enemies, then maybe I would pay attention!"

"HEY!!! I COMMAND YOU TO ACKNOWLEDGE ME!!!"

Eggman got right in his face now, "What are you implying?"

"NOTICE ME!!!"

Otto got in Eggman's face, "What are you inferring?"

"HEY!!!"

"That your saying I can't come up with a good name for my own mechs!" Eggman yelled.

"WHY ARE YOU IGNORING ME?!!!"

"Oh, well done. I'm impressed that your feeble mind could answer that correctly, you simpleton!" Otto replied.

"THIS IS BULLYING!!!"

"Why you little..." Eggman growled.

"ACKNOWLEDGE MEEEEEEEEE!!!!"

Eggman just facepalmed, "Just....activate the portal so we can move to phase 2."

Eggman then started walking out of the room. Otto grumbled something as he exited the room, switching off the lights as he left, leaving Sombra in the darkness.

"I. AM. STILL. HERE!!!"

(End song)

Back in New York, the group had recently returned to MJ's apartment. Miles said that he would meet up with them later as he had to repair his suit from the damage it had sustained from his fight with Zor. Sonic and Twilight were talking on the couch while Shadow and Spike were conversing in the kitchen, well, Spike was conversing, Shadow was just ignoring the baby dragon.

Peter and MJ were looking on MJ's laptop, searching for any sightings of portals in New York. Suddenly, the apartment door opened and everyone turned to the door.

They all saw Miles standing at the door, in a new suit.

Peter and Sonic whistled in amazement while everyone else looked on in awe. He upgraded his suit in a matter of hours.

"Well? What do you think?" Miles asked.

"Gotta say, Miles. Little jealous." Peter complimented.

Sonic gave a thumbs up while everyone else complimented the young prodigy. Suddenly, MJ got an alert on her laptop. She opened it and saw that a portal had opened in Times Square. Everyone walked over and saw where the portal was.

Peter looked at everyone else, "Well. Looks like we got our invitation."

"Best not keep them waiting." Twilight replied.

Peter kissed MJ and they all headed to Times Square. Twilight and Spike flew through the air, Peter and Miles parkoured through the city with their web swinging and Sonic and Shadow ran/skated towards Times Square.

Sonic and Shadow skidded to a stop as everyone landed next to them. They all looked at the portal while the pedestrians ran in fear.

Shadow turned to Peter, "You know it's a trap, right?"

Peter shrugged, "Yeah, I don't really care."

"Wherever this portal leads, it's another step closer to stopping our enemies." Twilight added.

Sonic then stepped forward and clenched his fist, "Well, what are we waiting for? They rolled out the welcome mat."

Everyone nodded and walked towards the portal. Sonic and Shadow entered first, then Twilight and Spike. As Miles walked through, Peter turned around and looked at his home one last time before sighing and turning to the portal.

"With great power, comes great responsibility." Peter muttered as he entered the portal.

The portal then closed, it appears our heroes' adventure has only just begun.

End of Act 2

Author's Note

Get ready, next stop is Mobius.

Stay tuned.

(Beginning Of Act 3) Welcome to Mobius

The portal opened up in Mobius, specifically, Whale Lagoon. Our heroes jumped out of the portal and landed on the sandy beach. The portal closed and everyone took in their surroundings. Sonic put his hands on his hips and took in a deep breath. He then exhaled happily.

Sonic then turned around and faced his team, "Welcome to Mobius."

Twilight and Spike widened their eyes in excitement.

Twilight took a slow step forward, "You mean, this is your home world?"

When Sonic nodded, Spike cheered in excitement while Twilight looked beyond happy.

"I always wondered what Mobius would be like." Twilight said happily.

Sonic chuckled, "Well, now you can experience it first hand.....Or hoof."

Peter took in his surroundings, noticing the various floating platforms, spikes, and traps, "This place looks like a level out of a video game, but it looks peaceful," Peter then stepped forward, "I might retire here."

"You and me both." Miles said.

Sonic smirked, "Well, this place is called Whale Lagoon, one of the most peaceful places on Mobius.......Except for the Killer Whales," Sonic shuddered in fear, "I hate those things."

Shadow then smacked Sonic on the back of the head, "Will you focus, Faker!" Shadow then crossed his arms as Sonic rubbed the back of his head, "We have a job to do. The doctor and his allies obviously wanted us here for an unknown purpose. We have to find out why."

Sonic walked forward and got in a crouched position, "We can head to my place in Mystic Ruins and figure that out," he then turned his head towards his friends, "Just follow me, and try to keep up."

Sonic then boosted forward, unknowingly launching sand into Shadow's face.

Shadow looked beyond angry, "Oh you son of a....." Shadow then clenched his fist and got in a starting position, "YOU'RE DEAD MEAT, HEDGEHOG!!!"

Shadow then skated after Sonic in a rage.

Twilight turned to Peter, Miles, and Spike, "Guess we better catch up before Shadow kills Sonic."

Spike then walked forward and smirked, "Yeah, or before you decide to nerd out even more."

Twilight smirked, "What was that?"

Spike then took to the air, "GOTTA GO!!!"

Spike then flew off into the distance. Twilight chuckled and flapped her wings and took flight, "Get back here, mister!"

As Twilight took off, Peter and Miles turned to one another.

Miles quickly shot a line of web, "Last one to the end is an aging Vulture!"

Miles then quickly swung away as Peter shot a line of web, "You cheater!!!"

Peter then swung after Miles, determined to beat him in the race. Twilight caught up to Spike and nudged the baby dragon slightly, both of them giggling in joy. Shadow chased after Sonic, who looked back and blew a raspberry at the Ultimate Lifeform.

"YOU'RE DEAD!!!" Shadow shouted as he pointed at his rival.

"GOTTA CATCH ME FIRST, ULTIMATE SLOW FORM!!!" Sonic taunted.

Shadow gritted his teeth, "GET BACK HERE!!!"

(End song)

Unbeknownst to them, a window like portal was watching them from the sky as the team made their way through Whale Lagoon.

The window projected what it was seeing through a monitor in the villains base in Netherworld. Eggman sat in his chair and stroked his moustache while Otto stood beside his ally. They then heard the door leading into the room open and they turned around to see Sombra enter the room with an angry look on his face.

Eggman arched an eyebrow, "Where have you been?"

Sombra growled in anger and opened his mouth to reply, but sighed in defeat and simply walked over towards them, "Forget it."

They then turned back to the screen and observed the footage.

"It appears that the second phase of our plan has officially begun," Otto said to his allies, he then turned to Eggman, "Have any of our forces located any of the Emeralds?"

Eggman shook his head, "Not yet. But don't worry, we already have one, all we need to do is find six more then we're golden!"

Sombra stroked his chin with his hoof, "Remind me again why we wanted the fools to be on Mobius?"

Eggman sighed and turned to the dark unicorn, "Because if our forces can't find any of the Emeralds on their own," Eggman then turned to the screen and smiled, "Then those idiotic heroes can lead our forces to the Emeralds they find."

"But what if they gather the Emeralds before our troops?" questioned Sombra.

Otto then chuckled, "That won't matter, even if they manage to gather them all, they'll bring them right to us when the time is right."

"Just have patience, Sombra. Everything will work out the way it's supposed to." Eggman added.

Otto then turned to Sombra, "How're our 'guests'?"

"They're getting to know one another, which isn't surprising considering those ponies always sprout on about 'friendship'...Bleh!" Sombra stuck his tongue out in disgust.

Eggman then frowned, "I still think it's a mistake to keep them alive, but we do need them for what is to come, as much as I hate to admit it. But once they've outlived their usefulness, then we'll destroy them!"

Sombra then frowned, "Who said we're going to get rid of them after they've outlived their usefulness?"

Eggman then looked angry and curious at the same time, "WHAT?! It's a given! Of course we're going to destroy them after they've fulfilled their usefulness! Why would we even consider keeping them alive after that?!"

Sombra rolled his eyes, "That would be too easy, Ivo. We should relish as we make them watch their greatest fears come to life! They can't do that if their dead!"

Eggman jumped out of his chair and kicked it away, "THAT HAS TO BE THE DUMBEST THING I'VE EVER HEARD!!! THEY SHOULD BE DEALT WITH SO OUR GOALS CAN GO UNCONTESTED!!!"

Otto then slammed them both to the wall with two of his mechanical arms. They struggled to break free, but Otto wasn't going to let up that easily, "ENOUGH BICKERING, YOU INGRATES!!! HOW CAN WE EXPECT FOR OUR GOALS TO BE REACHED IF WE ARE CONSTANTLY AT EACH OTHER'S THROATS?! WE SHOULD BE FOCUSING ON DESTROYING OUR ENEMIES AND REWRITING THE ENTIRE MULTIVERSE!!! I WON'T HAVE MY REVENGE BE DISRUPTED BY YOUR CONSTANT ARGUING!!!"

Otto then let them go, causing them to fall to the floor. Eggman and Sombra looked at one another and growled at each other before standing up and dusting themselves off.

"He is right, you know. We should be focusing on our goals. How about this? Once we have the Sinister Egg Core online, then we decide on how to properly dispose of our enemies? Sound fair, your majesty?" Eggman asked with sarcasm clear in his voice.

Sombra huffed and turned away, "Very well. Let us focus on our goals."

As the two villains walked away, they sneered at one another while Otto made his way back to the monitor. He grabbed the chair with one of his arms and sat down in the chair to observe the screen. He then began stroking his chin in thought.

"Hmm. Their constant bickering could be a complication. But I will have to deal with it at a later time," he said as he leaned closer to the screen, "Until then, some heavy observation will be required."

(End song)

Author's Note

Sorry for the lackluster chapter, but this was just an introductory chapter to Act 3.

It was also to showcase how the villains are slowly starting to hate each others guts.

Next chapter is the start of the hunt of the Chaos Emeralds.

Stay tuned.

Time For An Emerald Hunt

Sonic, after from recovering from the faceplant to the ground curtesy of Shadow, walked into his home in Mystic Ruins with everyone following him inside.

As Peter and Miles entered, Peter snickered while Miles walked in with his posture being one of a slumped manner, "I had a head start and I still lost." Miles grumbled as he closed the door behind him.

Shadow crossed his arms and leaned on a nearby wall while everyone else sat down on the two couches in Sonic's living room. Sonic then quickly sped off into the garage, much to the confusion of the others. Not a second later, Sonic sped back into the room with a small device in his hand.

"Okay, now we can work on a plan." Sonic said.

Twilight tilted her head in confusion, "What is that, Sonic?" asked the curious alicorn.

Sonic held the device in the air for all to see, "This my friend, is a Chaos Emerald Tracker."

Spike stepped forward, "Why would you need that? Don't you already have the Emeralds?"

Sonic laughed nervously and rubbed the back of his head, "Well, funny story. I used them recently and once I turned back to normal, they scattered across the planet."

"But when we used them to defeat Robotnik the first time, they didn't scatter." Twilight pointed out.

Shadow then decided to speak up, "That's because the Emeralds themselves are, in a way, sentient. They must of known that they were needed to send this idiot," he pointed to Sonic with his thumb, "back home."

Pete and Miles looked at each other in confusion and was about to ask for clarification but were cut off before they could, "But why would they need to scatter?" asked Spike.

"Why do you think? The Emeralds know that there are those who would use their power to cause destruction, so they scatter to make sure it doesn't happen." Shadow answered.

Sonic crossed his arms, "Yeah, and it makes it harder for us to find them when we need them." Sonic grumbled.

Peter then decided to get some answers, "Okay, hold up," everyone turned to the hero, "first of all. What is a Chaos Emerald?"

Sonic then looked to Shadow, to which the Ultimate Lifeform sighed and closed his eyes.

"No one truly knows their point of origin or who created them. But many have speculated that they were forged by the Gods themselves. Individually, each Emerald contains a near limitless supply of energy that can warp the fabric of reality itself," Shadow them opened his eyes, "But if the power of all seven Emeralds are combined, the bearer will command the ultimate power and become unstoppable." Shadow finished his explanation.

Miles and Peter looked concerned behind their masks. Miles looked worried of what the villains might do with that kind of power. But Peter was thinking, he was comparing them to something from Earth.

"These Emeralds....They are very similar to the Infinity Stones. Maybe the Emeralds are this world's equivalent to the Stones." Peter thought to himself.

Peter then stopped thinking to himself and walked towards his new friends, "Well then, looks like we have some Emeralds to find. Knowing my Parker Luck, we're probably gonna need them. If not, it's best to make sure the docs and their pet unicorn don't get them."

Shadow and Twilight nodded in agreement while Sonic, Spike, and Miles snickered at Peter calling Sombra Eggman and Otto's pet.

(End song)

Miles then walked over to Sonic, "So....How does this tracker work?"

Sonic shrugged, "Don't really know, Tails built it. But I do know that once I turn it on, it should pick up any nearby signals that are related to the Emeralds."

Twilight gave Sonic a deadpanned look, "Sooo, basically we're just going to be running around aimlessly, hoping to find any signatures that could be related to the Emeralds?"

Sonic gave her a thumbs up, "Pretty much, Twi."

Twilight groaned as she facehoofed.

Sonic then began walking towards the door, "Come on guys! A new adventure awaits us, let's go find those Emeralds!"

Shadow groaned in annoyance at the hedgehogs enthusiasm towards adventure and began walking out of the house, "By the time this is over....I will have killed him." muttered the Ultimate Lifeform as everyone else followed them outside the house.

Meanwhile, on a nearby mountain, Metallix crossed his arms as he used his advanced hearing processors to listen in on the heroes' plan to find the Emeralds. Standing next to him was none other than Zavok, who had a devious smirk on his face.

Metallix stopped listening in and turned to Zavok. He then opened his palm and a holographic image of soundwaves appeared in the palm of his hand. Metallix's eyes glowed and the holographic image began to speak.

"Well then, looks like we have some Emeralds to find. Knowing my Parker Luck, we're probably gonna need them. If not, it's best to make sure the docs and their pet unicorn don't get them." Peter's audio repeated.

Metallix then closed his hand as Zavok chuckled sinisterly, "So, the fools are going after the Emeralds too," Zavok then stroked his chin, "This has made our job the whole lot easier. They'll lead us to the Emeralds, and we'll pry them from their cold dead hands."

Zavok then began walking away, "Come along, Metallix. We must inform my brethren and The Sinister Six of this development."

Metallix nodded and took to the air at high speeds while Zavok leaped into the air, following the robot close behind.

(End song)

Meanwhile in Netherworld, Eggman, Otto, and Sombra were looking over the specs of their ultimate weapon.

Sombra looked over to Eggman, "Are you sure that this will work?"

Eggman grinned as he turned to the dark unicorn, "Of course! The Sinister Egg Core will be powered by the Chaos Emeralds and the 'magic'," he used his fingers as quotation marks, "of those annoying ponies! Thanks to their combined power, it will allow us to rewrite the very fabric of reality! Rewritten, of course, based on the 'alterations' to all universes that will be programmed by us using the Sinister Egg Core!"

Otto rolled his eyes, "Yes, yes, we've gone over all this before. The only question I have is, will Sonic, Spider-Man, and those idiotic ponies remember us after we rewrite the Multiverse?"

Eggman chuckled evilly, "That's the beauty of it. They'll remember exactly what we want them to remember. To everyone but us, and our glorious Netherworld, the world will have simply always been the way we rewrote it. Obviously we can't erase living beings or their spirits, but we can rearrange time and space to our benefit!"

Sombra then grinned, showing off his fangs, "So all we need to do now, is find those Emeralds and bring those foolish heroes here for the final act."

"Exactly!" Eggman replied.

Eggman then began walking out of the room with his arms behind his back, "Now, I'm going to continue overseeing construction of our weapon."

Sombra then lit up his horn, "And I'll be rounding up more soldiers for us to control."

Eggman walked out of the room while Sombra teleported out, leaving Otto in the room. Otto then began typing on the keyboard. Earlier he scanned the Mane 6 and their magic, he was curious as to what gave them their power. He accessed the scans and looked at the results.

As he looked at the scans, he noticed that they had familiar properties, but he just couldn't put his finger on it.

He leaned in closer towards the screen, "These scans look all too familiar. What are you?"

Author's Note

Seems like Doc Ock is on to something.

We'll look into that later, next up is a battle chapter.

Stay tuned.

Vs. The Vulture & Zeena

Sonic skidded to a stop and took in a deep breath of fresh air. He then remembered the first time he fought Eggman, it was right here in Green Hill Zone. He turned around and saw his friends approaching him. Peter and Miles landed in a crouched position after letting go of their webbing. Shadow skidded to a stop and walked over to his annoying rival. Twilight and Spike landed on the checkered grass after descending from their flight.

Shadow then crossed his arms and looked over towards Sonic, "Alright, Faker. Is there an Emerald nearby?"

Sonic took out the radar and activated it. Surely enough, it picked up a signal close by.

"There sure is, Shadow."

Spike then hopped on Twilight's back, "Well, what are we waiting for?"

Sonic laughed, "I love that attitude, Spike. Alright then, gotta juice!"

Sonic then dashed forward at super speed. Everyone looked at one another before deciding to catch up to the blue blur. Peter and Miles shot a line of web at a nearby floating platform and swung further down Green Hill while Twilight took to the air with Spike on her back. Shadow hmphed and skated forward.

As Sonic ran, he saw an incoming loop de loop and smirked. He accelerated forward and ran through the loop de loop, as he exited the loop, he saw some Motobugs heading his way. He then curled into a Spin Dash and plowed right through them, releasing the animals trapped inside them.

He then saw some spikes pop out of the ground further down his path. As he approached the spikes, he jumped into the air and Air Dashed over the spikes and landed on the ground in a roll, he untucked and continued forward with a happy smile on his face.

He then approached a chasm and saw some Buzz Bombers flying over the chasm and aim their lasers at the approaching hedgehog. Sonic smiled and jumped into the air, curling into a ball and destroying one after another with multiple Homing Attacks.

He landed on the other side of the chasm and quickly turned around and Air Dashing to catch the falling Flickies that were freed by Sonic. He caught them and landed on the side of the chasm he came from. He set the Flickies down and Air Dashed again back to the other side and continued forward.

Twilight flew forward at high speeds with Spike clinging onto her for dear life. She turned her head and saw Peter parkouring off the walls and floating platforms to go faster. Peter then saw a narrow gap in between two hills and webbed zipped towards them. He then spun around, just fitting through the narrow gap and landing in a crouched position on the other side, where Twilight and Spike were waiting for him.

He looked up and smirked behind his mask, "And I thought the other 'zone' looked like something from a video game. This looks like it was ripped straight from a platformer, what with all the floating platforms and all the loop de loops."

Twilight and Spike both chuckled and laughed at Peter's quip. Twilight then decided to continue onwards with Peter swinging close behind. As Peter swung through the Zone, he saw some incoming Motobugs heading his way. He quickly glanced to Twilight and she smirked in response.

Peter let go of his webbing and rolled on the floor. He then stopped rolling and quickly shot a line of webbing at an incoming Motobug. He then swung it around in a circle before letting go of it, allowing Twilight to blast it apart with a beam of magic, releasing the Flicky caught inside of it.

Twilight then grabbed hold on the other Motobug with her magic. She then levitated it into the air, allowing Spider-Man to quickly jump up into the air and kick it back down to the ground, destroying it. As the Flicky hopped away, Peter landed on the ground in a crouched position.

Peter smirked at Twilight behind his mask, "Not bad for an EggHead."

Twilight gave the wall crawler a deadpanned look, "Hardy Har Har."

(End song)

Shadow skated through the grassy Zone, boosting through any Badnik he saw. He then jumped up into the air and boosted towards a nearby pine tree and bounced from each tree he saw, taking out the Buzz Bombers that were in his path. Shadow then used his speed to stop mid dash and stomp back down to the ground.

He then heard the faint sound of a motor, meaning that there were Motobugs approaching behind him. He then quickly turned around and fired a Chaos Spear at the approaching Badniks. The Motobugs blew up, releasing their animal captives. Shadow then turned around to see some Buzz Bombers charging up their shots.

He was about to deal with them, but he missed his chance as Miles came from out of nowhere and smashed one of the Badniks down to the ground with his Venom Punch. He then quickly turned around and hit the other Buzz Bomber with a Web Bomb, encasing the Badnik in web.

The Buzz Bomber fell to the ground, blowing up on impact. Miles turned around and gave Shadow a smug look, although the hedgehog couldn't see it due to Miles' mask.

"Should've been faster, Shadow." Miles taunted.

Shadow crossed his arms and chuckled, "Very funny." Shadow said sarcastically.

Shadow then boosted forward, leaving Miles behind.

Miles then shot some webbing and swung after the Ultimate Lifeform, "Wow, very mature." Miles muttered as he continued swinging.

Before any of them knew it, they all regrouped and approached the location of the Emerald. Sonic took out the Emerald Tracker and looked to see if they were close.

"We're close to the Emerald!" Sonic informed his friends.

Twilight smiled, "Good, one step closer to stopping our enemies."

(End song)

As they got closer, Peter and Miles' Spider Sense went through the roof, alerting them of an incoming danger.

Peter turned to Sonic, "GUYS, LOOK OUT!!!"

But before they could react, a metallic green feather hit Sonic in the chest, sending him flying backwards and rolling to a stop on the ground. Everyone stopped and turned to see Sonic getting up off of the ground.

"LOOKING FOR THIS?!" A voice suddenly asked.

They all turned around to see Vulture hovering in the air with a familiar looking gem in his hands. Suddenly, Zeena leaped down from a nearby hill and landed on the ground in front of them with a devious look on her face.

Zeena smirked, "I think they are. Too bad it's ours for the taking."

Sonic chuckled as he got back to his feet, "Hey, Zeena. How's the pedicure?"

Zeena growled in anger, "LAST TIME YOU RUINED MY NAILS! I SPENT AGES WORKING ON THEM, NOW I'M GOING TO RUIN YOU!!!"

Vulture then glanced down towards the Zeti, "And now you'll get the chance, my dear."

Peter then looked up at his enemy, "YO, ADRIAN! REMEMBER ME? IT'S SPIDER-MAN!" Peter quipped using an accent.

Vulture looked confused, "Of course I remember you, you simpleton! And I still have no idea what you're babbling on about!"

Peter sighed disappointingly and face palmed, "I don't think you'll ever get my jokes."

"Nor do I want too! Prepare for your finishing act!" Vulture exclaimed angrily as he flew backwards.

Peter, Shadow, and Twilight chased after the villain while Sonic, Spike, and Miles stayed behind to face Zeena.

Shadow, Peter, and Twilight caught up to Vulture at the edge of the hill they were standing on. Vulture growled and flew backwards away from the edge of the hill. Vulture then threw three metallic feathers at the heroes. Shadow dashed forward and kicked the projectile back at its creator, hitting Vulture.

Peter smirked and grabbed the feather with a line of web and threw it back at Vulture, angering the villain even more. Twilight grabbed the last feather with her magic and threw it back, but this time Vulture flew to the left, avoiding the projectile.

"YOU MISSED!" Vulture taunted.

Twilight smirked, confusing the villain. But he didn't have much time to think about it as he was hit in the chest by a line of web. He was then hit in the face by Peter, who Web Zipped towards the villain and socked him in the jaw. He then backflipped, kicking Vulture in the jaw in the process. Peter then swung back to the hill and landed in a crouched position.

"How many times have we got to do this, Toomes?!" Peter shouted.

"As long as it takes, boy!"

Twilight then flew forward with her forelegs outstretched, charging straight towards Vulture. She almost hit the old villain, but Toomes quickly dodged to the left and wacked Twilight with one of his giant wings, sending her tumbling through the air. She quickly recovered and glared at the villain before her.

"It is I who rule the skies, child!" Vulture exclaimed as he threw more metallic feathers at the alicorn princess.

Twilight avoided some of them, but not all of them as she was hit in the chest by one of the projectiles, which sent her tumbling through the air once more. Vulture then flew forward and grabbed Twilight with his hands and slammed her into the side of a nearby hill.

He held the alicorn by her throat and reeled back a punch, only to be interrupted by Shadow, who teleported over to them and elbowed Vulture off of Twilight. Vulture recovered and flew upwards at high speeds to try and get some distance between him and his foes.

Vulture then boosted downwards and tried to hit Shadow with one of his wings, but Shadow anticipated the attack and hit Vulture in the face with a roundhouse kick, which sent him spiraling through the air. He recovered and threw more metallic feathers at the Ultimate Lifeform.

Shadow responded by kicking the projectiles back at the villain. Vulture learned from his previous mistakes and swayed left and right to avoid the metallic feathers. Vulture then flew forward at high speeds to try and hit the hedgehog, but Shadow simply swayed out of the way using his rocket shoes.

Shadow then quickly turned around and threw multiple Chaos Spears at the villainous Vulture. Before Vulture could do anything, he was hit in the chest by the attacks and sent flying back towards the Peter, who jumped up into the air and kicked Vulture in the back of the head.

Vulture shook his head and growled angrily. He then boosted forward and grabbed Peter with his hands. He then flew all around Green Hill, slamming the wall crawler into the ground as they flew forward. Vulture then flew upwards and slammed Peter into the side of multiple hills in the Zone as they flew.

As they continued to fly, Peter punched Vulture in the face multiple times as the two flew through the air. Peter then kneed Vulture in the ribs, causing the villain to lose his grip on the hero. Peter quickly maneuvered himself onto Toomes' back and began punching him in the back of the head.

Peter then slammed his fist into the center of Vulture's wing jet back and tore out some wires, causing the wings to spark with electricity. They then began loosing altitude, Peter used this opportunity to jump off of Vulture's back, kicking the villain down to the ground in the process. Vulture crash landed on the grassy canvas of Green Hill, causing him to let go of the Chaos Emerald.

Vulture came to a stop in the trench he made when he crashed down. The Emerald rolled away from the villain, giving Peter the chance to grab it. As Peter landed, he shot a line of web at the Emerald and pulled it towards him. He caught the Emerald in his hands as Twilight and Shadow landed next to the Spider hero.

(End song)

Zeena snarled as two green energy cords appeared in both of her hands. She then leaped into the air and swung them down onto the ground, creating green shockwaves that the heroes had to jump over to avoid getting hit. Zeena landed and saw Spike flying to her left.

She smirked and grabbed Spike with her energy whip and pulled him down to the ground. She smirked, but that smirk made its way off of her face as Sonic hit her from behind with a Spin Attack. She stumbled and snarled angrily.

"YOU RUINED MY HAIR!!!"

She was about to attack again, but she suddenly felt something stick onto her back. She couldn't even think about what it was as Miles zipped over to her and kicked her in the back, sending her to the floor.

"There, now you look better than before. Not that it was a hard thing to do." Miles quipped as he shrugged.

Zeena snarled and stood up from the ground, the energy cords disappearing. She then jumped into the air and suddenly pulled out two bombs from behind her back. She threw the bombs at Miles, who simply dodged the first bomb and used his webbing to send the bomb flying right back at the Zeti, sending her to the ground.

She punched the ground in frustration and got back up. She stomped her foot on the ground multiple times, she was having a temper tantrum. She then leaped into the air and came back down to punch the ground, causing the ground to shake violently.

She then ripped out a piece of the ground and hurled it at Sonic, who dashed forward and ducked under the piece of rubble. He then continued forward and took out her legs as he slid under her. She fell to the ground, snarling in anger. She got back up, only for Spike to appear out of nowhere and burn her hair with his fire breath.

She ran around screaming like a pig, giving Miles the opportunity to put an end to this fight. Miles grabbed her with a line of webbing and Web Zipped towards her. He then punched her in the face with a Venom Punch, sending her flying into a pine tree and ending this bout for good.

(End song)

As Zeena's head was spinning and her eyes rolling around in her eye sockets, a portal opened up beneath her and she fell through it. Sonic, Miles, and Spike all shared a fist bump, celebrating their victory. They then turned around to see Peter and the others approaching.

Sonic smiled as he saw what Peter had in his hand, "Hey, you got the Emerald."

"Was there ever any doubt?" Peter said as he tossed the Emerald to Sonic, who caught it in his hand, "Vulture's down for the count. He disappeared in a portal, what about the Zeti?"

Miles walked over and shrugged, "She went through a portal as well, although she's definitely gonna be throwing a tantrum when she wakes up."

Miles, Sonic, and Spike all laughed while the others looked confused.

Twilight stepped towards Sonic, "Okay, that's one Emerald down, only six to go."

Shadow then began walking away, "Then it's best if we get a move on. The longer we wait, the more time The Doctor and his allies have to complete whatever they're up to."

"For once, I agree with Shadow. Let's roll!" Sonic exclaimed.

Everyone nodded in agreement as Sonic pulled out the radar and began searching for a nearby signature that could be an Emerald.

What they didn't notice however, was Metallix watching them from a nearby hill. He was scanning the Emerald Tracker in Sonic's hand and downloading the schematics of the device. Once the download was complete, he took off into the sky at high speeds.

Meanwhile in Netherworld, Zeena was stamping around, screaming her head off about her ruined hair.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY RUINED MY BEAUTIFUL HAIR!!! WHEN I GET THEM, I'M GONNA BASH THEIR FACES IN!!! IT'S GOING TO TAKE FOREVER TO FIX THIS MESS!!! AND THE WORST PART IS-"

Eggman, Sombra, and Doc Ock were all covering their ears with their hands/hooves to block out the tantrum Zeena was having. Otto had apparently had enough as he smashed his head against the table while Sombra was rocking back and forth.

"Lord, help me." Eggman muttered.

(End song)

Vs. The Dark King

"Okay, hang on a second! How did we go from a beautiful green landscape to a freaking casino?!" Peter asked as they walked through Casino Park, passing the giant pinball and slot machines as they walked.

Sonic sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose, "You can thank EggHead for that. This used to be a part of Green Hill, but Eggman turned it into his own casino for his amusement."

Twilight looked confused, "For a 'genius', Robotnik does a lot of stuff that make me question his intelligence."

"You and me both," replied the baby dragon.

Shadow crossed his arms, "We need to stay vigilant. The radar said that there was an Emerald close in the vicinity. We need to find it."

Miles nodded his head, "I agree," he then walked up beside Shadow, "But that doesn't mean we can't have fun."

Sonic chuckled and gave the young hero a thumbs up, "Now that's the spirit, Miles!"

Twilight then gave the blue blur a stern look, "Now hang on a secon-"

She never got the chance to finish as Spike, Miles, and Sonic all ran off further into the casino themed zone, much to the annoyance of Shadow, Peter, and the alicorn princess. Twilight shook her head and took off after her friends with Peter following close behind.

Shadow crouched down slightly and sighed, "That blue idiot is going to be the death of me."

Shadow then dashed off down the casino road in search of the Chaos Emerald.

(End song)

Meanwhile in Netherworld, Sombra and Eggman watched the heroes through their magical window. Sombra huffed in annoyance while Eggman smiled.

"Oh don't worry, your majesty, Metallix and Zavok have already claimed two Emeralds thanks to the radar that they scanned right under that idiotic hedgehog's nose. That means we have three Emeralds in our possession while they have a measly one. Plus, once those annoying 'heroes' inevitably arrive at our front doorstep, they will bring the Emeralds that they have collected right to us!"

Sombra scoffed in response, "It's not that, Ivo," he replied while glaring at the screen, "I get that we have victory within our grasps. Our plan is exceptional in every aspect, but I just don't want to make things too easy for them."

Eggman then smirked, "I see where your getting at. You want a piece of the action don't you?" Sombra nodded in response, "Don't worry, I have just the thing you need."

Eggman then typed on the keyboard and brought up an image of a new mech he had just finished creating. Another fusion between machinery and dark magic. This brought a smile to Sombra's face.

"This is the latest mech I have been working on in my spare time. A king's weapon, if you will. Who knows? Maybe you'll be able to use it to finally beat the snot out of those losers." Eggman said.

"But I doubt it." Eggman thought to himself.

Sombra smiled evilly as he stared at the computer screen with anticipation.

"This, Ivo, will do perfectly."

(End song)

After making their way through Eggman's twisted version of a casino, they finally made it to where the signal was coming from. The Emerald was on a pedestal in front of a giant Eggman sign, pointing upwards with its fingers.

Spike pointed towards the Emerald, "Look! There it is!"

Peter scratched the back of his head, "Huh. That Eggman guy sure has a large ego, doesn't he?"

Shadow glanced towards the web head, "You've only just figured that out?"

Peter somewhat pouted as he crossed his arms, "Hey, unlike you guys, I've barely known the guy for a little more than a few days."

As Sonic approached the Emerald, Twilight had a thought. This was too easy, it didn't settle right with her. There was a strange feeling in her gut, she knew she had to trust her instincts. This felt like a trap.

"Sonic, this seems too easy!" Twilight shouted to the blue hedgehog.

Shadow moved beside her, "I agree, Faker! No guards, no form of security whatsoever? It's obviously a trap!"

Sonic stopped and thought to himself, they had a point. This was too easy.

(End song)

Suddenly, the ground beneath the hedgehog began to shake violently. His instincts kicking in, Sonic jumped backwards, just in time too, as a dark crystal shot out of the ground where the hedgehog previously stood. His friends moved over towards him as a dark mist formed around the crystals.

"MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

That familiar laughter made Twilight grit her teeth in anger as the mist began to take form. What stood before them was a giant robot with a dark green aura surrounding it.

Inside, piloting the giant mech, was none other than King Sombra, who had an evil grin spread across his muzzle.

"Well, well, well. Looks like the rabble aren't as dumb as they look. That's surprising, considering who you all are." Sombra mocked the heroes.

Twilight stepped forward, "SOMBRA!!! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!"

"MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Why, nothing dear Twilight. All we've done is create another perfect mixture of science and magic," the mech then took a step forward, "A weapon truly fit for a king! My ultimate weapon, The Dark King!!!"

Everyone gritted their teeth as multiple portals opened up on the ground. Exiting the portal, were a small army of mind controlled ponies wearing armor.

Twilight looked saddened and disheartened at the swarm of her mind controlled subjects. Sonic gritted his teeth and stepped forward.

"YOU SICK FREAK!!! YOU'RE GONNA PAY FOR THIS!!!"

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Then by all means," the Dark King's hands were engulfed in a red a green flame, "Come and get me!!!"

Twilight turned to her friends, "Shadow, Miles, Spike. I want you three to try and free as many ponies as possible."

"How?" Miles asked.

"Those helmets they have on, take them off. I've dealt with something like this once, if you remove the helmets, then they should be freed," Twilight explained, the three of them nodded and went to take care of Sombra's army. Twilight turned to Peter and Sonic, "While they do that, we're gonna dethrone Sombra."

Peter and Sonic nodded and followed Twilight as she flew towards The Dark King.

Sombra laughed as the three heroes approached him.

"FOOLS!!! YOU'RE NO MATCH FOR ME!!!"

Sombra then fired two blasts of dark magic from the mechs hands, attempting to hit the heroes. Twilight and Peter had to move out of the way while Sonic dashed to the right to avoid the blast. Sombra snarled as he raised The Dark King's arms into the air, summoning two giant dark crystals, which burst right out of the ground, and began to drain their energy to form a dark shield around himself.

Sonic turned to Twilight and Peter, "Guys, you two take out those crystals," he then turned to Sombra, "I'll keep him busy."

They both nodded and flew/swung away towards the giant crystals while Sonic clenched his fist and faced Sombra. Sonic then dashed forward towards Sombra, gritting his teeth in anger as he ran forward.

"AVOID THIS!!!"

The Dark King stomped its left foot on the ground, causing multiple crystals to burst out of the ground, right in Sonic's path. Sonic jumped into the air and curled into a ball. He then Air Dashed towards The Dark King, only to be swatted away by the massive mech.

Sonic flew through the air and landed harshly on the ground, rolling to a stop. As Sonic got back up onto his feet, Sombra aimed the mechs hand at the blue blur and fired a red and green blast of dark magic. Sonic, just barely, rolled out of the way in time before he got hit by the blast.

Sombra snarled and released a burst of dark magic from within the mech. Sonic dashed forward and quickly found cover and ducked behind hit, allowing the burst of magic to miss him as it passed by. Sonic then parkoured over his barricade and dashed towards Sombra.

"You're proving to be harder to squash then I originally thought."

Suddenly, a voice from his left caught his attention, "YOU GOT THAT RIGHT, KING TRAINING BRA!!!"

Sombra looked over to see Peter roundhouse kick a mind controlled pony out of his way and deliver a solid punch on the dark crystal. Shattering it on impact thanks to his enhanced strength.

"NO!" Sombra yelled in anger.

The energy flow from the crystal cut off, causing The Dark King to stumble and fall to one knee. Sonic saw this as an opportunity to dash forward and curl up into a Spin Dash. He then launched himself into the air and hit The Dark King right in its core, sending the mech falling onto its back.

"ANNOYANCE!!!" Sombra snarled in anger.

The mech then transformed into a dark mist and hovered towards the other side of the battle field. The Dark King returned to its normal form as its shield returned thanks to having the other dark crystal not been damaged.

(End song)

"YOU FILTHY PESTS HAVE GOTTEN ON MY NERVES!!! PREPARE FOR ANNHILATION!!!" Sombra yelled.

Peter flipped through the air and landed in a crouched position in front of The Dark King, "Guess it's my time to shine."

Sombra fired a shot of dark magic at the friendly neighbor hood hero, to which Peter shot a line of web and swung around the mech, avoiding the attack. As Peter swung around the mech, he shot multiple balls of webbing at the shield, annoying Sombra greatly.

Sombra then swung one of the mechs arms at the annoying Wall Crawler, but as it swung its arm, Peter let go of his webbing and flipped through the air and landed on the mechs arm with a roll. He then got up and up the mechs arm, much to the annoyance of Sombra.

"ANNOYING BUG!!!"

Sombra fired a laser from the mechs right eye, much to his failure, he missed Spider-Man as the hero jumped off the mechs arm as the laser hit. This resulted in the mechs arm being extremely damaged.

"NO!"

Peter then saw a crystal shard on the ground below as he flipped through the air. He shot a line of webbing and threw the shard directly at the shield. The shard pierced through the shield and hit the mechs right eye, damaging the mech greatly.

"YOU PEST!!!" Sombra yelled in anger and worry.

Peter landed on the ground as Twilight got through the horde of controlled ponies and fired a beam from her horn, destroying the dark crystal powering Sombra's shield. The mech stumbled down to one knee once more. Peter saw Sonic running towards the mech and saw the blue hedgehog hit the mech in the core with a Homing Attack, sending the mech to the floor.

Sombra snarled as the mech transformed into a dark mist and hovered in the air. The mech returned to normal and hovered in the air. The mech was then engulfed in a fiery green aura. The mech then released a shockwave as it transformed into a new form.

"I was going to save this form for later use, but you all have forced my hoof!" Sombra yelled in anger.

(End song)

Twilight took to the air and gritted her teeth, "You're mine, Sombra!"

Twilight charged forward as Sombra fired multiple orbs of dark magic towards the alicorn. Twilight swayed left and right to avoid the orbs of dark magic and fired a blast from her horn to destroy an incoming orb. She accelerated forward towards The Dark King.

Sombra gritted his teeth as he fired a laser blast from the mech right hand. Twilight was caught of guard at how fast the attack was and was sent back through the air.

"MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

Twilight shook her head and continued forward towards Sombra. The Dark King fired a blast from its left hand, only this time, Twilight teleported out of the way and continued forward.

"Not this time!" Twilight exclaimed as she fired a blast from her horn and hit the mech right in the chest, sending it beck.

Sombra then released multiple strands of dark magic from the mechs back and sent them hurling towards Twilight. The alicorn gritted her teeth and encased herself in a protective barrier as the strands of dark magic tried to break through. Twilight then released a burst of magic from her horn, causing the strands of dark magic to dissipate.

Twilight then charged forward, more determined than ever to put a stop to Sombra. Sombra had had enough and fired a blast from both hands. The blast was heading straight for Twilight, who stopped mid flight and fired back with a blast from her horn.

The two blasts collided and struggled to overpower one another. Twilight gritted her teeth as sweat made its way down her forehead. She then thought of her friends and what she was fighting for. With a mighty yell, she gave it her all and began to overpower The Dark King.

"I....IMPOSSIBLE!!! YOUR MAGIC CAN'T OVERPOWER MINE!!!" Sombra yelled as Twilight's beam overpowered his and pierced right through the mechs chest.

The Dark King then began to explode in a blaze of glory. Twilight smiled as she saw the mech crash down to the ground below, ending this battle for good.

(End song)

Shadow roundhouse kicked a controlled pony in the head, taking his helmet off and sending the pony to the floor. Shadow turned to see Miles and Spike finish up with their enemies. The Ultimate Lifeform turned around to see Sombra crawling out of the wreckage of his mech.

Sombra got to his hooves and held the Chaos Emerald with his magic, only for it to be taken away from him by Miles, who grabbed it with a line of web.

Twilight, Peter, and Sonic all regrouped with their friends and glared at the dark unicorn.

"Hmph. It doesn't matter, anyway. We already have three Emeralds. All we need is to get the last two and then our plans can finally commence! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Sombra laughed as a portal appeared below him.

The dark unicorn screamed as he fell through it. As the portal closed, everyone looked worried. The villains already had three? This wasn't good. They needed to find the last two Emeralds.

And they need to do it fast.

Return To Equestria

A portal opened up in the middle of a small town, in which Sonic jumped out of the portal and landed on the ground in a crouched position. He stood up straight and looked at his surroundings.

He recognized this place almost immediately. He was in Equestria. Specifically, Ponyville. Sonic breathed a sigh of relief and turned around.... Only to get tackled to the ground by everyone else who jumped through the portal. Sonic groaned in pain as the portal closed.

Everyone and everypony got off of the speedy blue hedgehog and took in what was around them. As Sonic dusted himself off, he was suddenly startled by Twilight, who screamed in absolute happiness.

"Oh thank Faust! We're back in Equestria!!!"

Shadow gave a growl of annoyance in response, "This place is too colorful for my liking."

Sonic chuckled and jabbed the black hedgehog with his elbow, "Now how did I know that you were going to say something like that, edgy the hedgy?"

Shadow then proceeded to punch Sonic in the gut. As Sonic fell to the ground, Shadow walked away from his annoying rival. Peter removed his mask and took in a deep breath. He exhaled and smiled towards the alicorn, "So, this is your world?" Twilight nodded, "Not bad, Twilight. I think I might retire here."

Twilight blushed and giggled awkwardly. Shadow scoffed and walked ahead of the group, "We have no time to mess around. We have a job to do."

Sonic coughed and hacked as he rubbed his belly with his hand. He then glared at the dark hedgehog as he dusted himself off, "Well, I think we should start by figuring out what we are even doing here," Sonic groaned in pain, "Jeez, Shadow. Did you have to punch me that hard?"

Shadow hmphed in response.

Miles then took off his mask, "Hey. Did anyone see where Martin Li and that old weirdo went off to?"

They all shook their heads in response.

"I have a theory," Shadow said to the group.

They all turned to him, "Well, Shadow. Let's here it," Twilight said with a smile.

Shadow nodded, "I believe that those two individuals have returned to their base of operations."

Spike walked up towards Shadow, "What makes you say that?"

"We all went through the same portal, did we not?," Everyone nodded, "So, it seems that the doctor and his accomplices thought that we were too close to finding out how to reach their base."

"So they decided to send us here," Miles finished, "But why?"

"To buy time for whatever they're planning," Peter answered the young hero.

Sonic stroked his chin in thought, "That ain't good. Time works differently in the Special Zone. They could amass an entire army in a couple of hours, if they haven't already."

"Then it looks like we'll have to get an army of our own," Twilight exclaimed, much to the confusion of the others.

"How do you expect us to gather enough forces to aid us in our mission?" Shadow asked.

Twilight smiled smugly, "Spike and I know a few ponies and other creatures that would be willing to help."

"And why would they do that?"

"They've done it before."

Shadow arched a brow, "How did they manage that?"

"Through the magic of friendship!"

Shadow then started laughing, much to the confusion of Spike and Twilight. Once Shadow saw the looks on their faces, he stopped, "You're serious?"

"Why wouldn't I be?" Twilight asked, genuinely confused.

Shadow pinched the bridge of his nose, "Ugh, I already hate this dimension."

Peter then walked up to Twilight, "Can you really get some help on our side?"

Twilight smirked and turned her head to Spike, "Spike, take a letter.

Cadance slowly opened her eyes, the brightness of the light blurring her vision. She rubbed her eyes with her hoof as she stood up. Once her vision cleared, she saw that she was in a white cell. She tried unfurling her wings, but she couldn't. She turned her head and saw that there was a massive clamp like device over her wings, preventing her from using them.

She tried using her magic, only to find that once again, she couldn't. She touched her horn with her hoof and felt several tiny dark crystals were apparent on her horn.

"Mwahahahahahaha!"

She heard a familiar laughter, one that made her blood boil. Suddenly, Sombra appeared in front of her cell with an evil smile on his face.

"Enjoying the accommodations, Cadance?" Sombra mocked the alicorn.

Cadance snarled angrily, "What have you done, demon?!"

Sombra lifted his head up, "Why, nothing at all," he then showed his fangs towards the princess of love, "at least, not yet."

As Sombra approached the cell, Cadance continued to glare, "Whatever you have planned, you will never have the Crystal Empire!"

Sombra barked out a laugh and lit up his horn, "FOOL!!! This goes far beyond the Crystal Empire! It goes beyond even Equestria itself! What I want is so much more than you could ever fathom!"

Sombra then turned his back to the alicorn, "Once everything is in place, the entire multiverse will be reshaped in my image!" he then turned towards the alicorn once again, "And do you want to know the best part?"

His eyes lit up with dark magic as he slammed his hoof on the bars of her cell, startling the alicorn, "I'm going to keep you alive, so you can spend the rest of your immortal days as my servant, and you will bare witness to my ultimate victory! You will gaze upon my new multiverse and forever know that you couldn't do anything to stop me!"

Cadance gasped as Sombra laughed. The very thought that everything that had ever existed, and ever will exist will be in this monster's image made Cadance physically ill. As Sombra walked away, Cadance found her voice, "Twilight and her friends will stop you, like they always have!"

Sombra stopped dead in his tracks and turned his head towards Cadance, "You mean the friends that I have captured at this very moment?"

That statement alone made Cadance lose her confidence, Sombra continued, "And as for the princess coming to stop me," He turned away from her as his eyes lit up and he smiled, "I'm counting on it."

As Sombra laughed, he turned into his shadow form and left Cadance alone with her thoughts. She fell to her back haunches and lowered her head.

"Hurry, Twilight. Wherever you are, we need you now more than ever."

Author's Note

Hey all, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, or whatever tradition you celebrate at this time of year.

I wish you and all of your families and loved ones well.

A new year is approaching, and so many more stories to come with it.

Stay tuned, and happy holidays!

Prelude To War

"Hmm. I bet... 50 Bits."

"Pah! I see your 50 and raise you another 200 Rings!"

"Ugh. Honestly, Ivo. You must learn to raise the stakes. Live a little! I raise you another 500 dollars."

The three villains were gathered together in front of Cadance's cell, watching as a Motobug, a mind controlled Derpy Hooves, and the newly created Octobot slowly approached the Princess of Love.

Otto smiled smugly at his partners, "Trust me, boys. My newly designed Octobot is the peak in offensive capabilities. This bet is mine for the taking."

Eggman waved his hand dismissively, "While I recognize your craftsmanship, Otto. You can't go wrong with the classics! My Motobug, while an older model, will surely secure the win!"

Sombra snorted, "Those are all well and good," both evil geniuses turned to the evil unicorn, "nothing beats the classic mind controlled servant! Like everything else, this bet shall be mine!"

As the three lackeys approached Cadance, who was backed up against the wall, the three villains watched eagerly as their goons approached the Princess.

"Come on, Motobug! Slice her to pieces!"

"Show this fool the true meaning of pain, my precious Octobot!"

"Sic her, fool! Don't embarrass me!"

The three goons were about to reach the Princess, closing in from three different angles.

(End song)

That is until they each crashed into one another, much to the Princess' surprise.

Eggman then proceeded to face palm himself for what just happened, while Sombra's jaw practically fell to the floor, and Otto just sighed in annoyance as he pinched the bridge of his nose.

While the three lackeys were busy ramming into one another, or in Derpy's case, throwing muffins at one another, Cadance walked past them and made her way towards the front of her cell.

"Now that I have your attention," Cadance began.

Sombra rolled his eyes, "Oh, here we go. One of those annoying speeches about Harmony and Friendship you ponies love to spray at every chance you get."

Eggman however, was too busy trying to process what had just happened earlier, "I mean.... Wha.... DO THESE FOOLS NOT KNOW HOW TO WALK IN A STRAIGHT LINE?!"

Cadance ignored him and continued, "Please, it isn't too late to stop this. Just think about what you three are doing here. You're all planning to tamper with the fabric of reality using your weapon of mass destruction. Using that to rewrite ALL universes is far too dangerous and too much, even for those who proclaim themselves as geniuses."

While Sombra glared and Otto folded his arms is disapproval, Eggman had a questioning look on his face.

"How do you know about our plans to-"

Eggman was quickly cut off by Sombra, who quickly rushed in front of the egg shaped man.

"No, no! Don't listen to her! She and those other annoying mares are ALWAYS like this!"

Sombra then stomped over towards the cell with a look of annoyance on his face.

"For all you spout, Cadance, you never had the GALL and INITIATIVE to do what was actually needed for The Crystal Empire! Your visions of peace for all is equality and love!" Sombra sneered, "So everything is peaceful in The Crystal Empire? Everything is lovely? So WHAT?" Sombra's eyes glowed with Dark Magic as he continued, "We've created an entire REALITY! We're going to reshape time and space across three worlds-- And soon ALL WORLDS!" Sombra turned away and held his head up high in praise of himself with a smug look on his face, "You're scared, Cadance! Scared your lack of initiative will finally leave you eclipsed in the shadow of my reign! I have complete control!"

(Pause song)

Cadance then smirked, "Just like when you 'took' over Canterlot?"

And with that, Sombra's confidence shattered like glass as his pupils shrunk into pinpricks and his jaw fell.

(Resume song)

Sombra quickly regained his posture and turned away, "I have no idea what you're referring to," Sombra muttered.

"This has happened before, Sombra. When you were resurrected, you destroyed the Elements of Harmony and seized control of Canterlot. You thought you had control of the situation then, but you got too cocky for your own good and you immediately lost again. It seems that the exact same scenario is repeating. Except your foolishness could destroy everything anypony has ever known. You could literally--"

Sombra had heard enough and started to walk away, "I've heard enough! Let us go, my compatriots! We have an army to prepare!"

While Otto muttered something under his breath and walked out with Sombra, Eggman gave Cadance a smile that shook her to the core. Once Eggman had left, Cadance had begun trying to make a connection with Twilight through their love for one another. It was a long shot, but at the moment, it was all she could do.

(End song)

As the three villains walked through their hallways towards the Gateway room, Otto turned to Ivo.

"Is everything ready?"

Eggman smirked, "Of course! Once we get to the Gateway, we can summon those fools to our Netherworld and take everything we need for our goals to be achieved!"

Sombra then smirked, "But we can't make it too easy."

Eggman nodded, "Of course not," he then turned to Otto, "Our modifications to The Sinister Six have gone well I hope?"

Octavius nodded, "Everything is ready. And The Deadly Six are on standby as well."

Eggman then grinned, "Then let's roll out the welcome mat."

A few hours after Spike had sent the letter to both Celestia and Luna, the group of heroes had finally arrived at Canterlot Castle. Everyone looked as eager as ever to finally put an end to this madness for good, that is, everyone except Spike, who looked exhausted after the long trip.

"You know, I get that we usually take the train to Canterlot. But why couldn't Shadow have just teleported us here?"

Shadow raised an eyebrow and responded to the young drake.

"Something in this dimension is tampering with my Chaos abilities. I am unable to produce enough Chaos Energy to even form a Chaos Spear," he then tried to form a Chaos Spear in his hand, but only managed to produce a single spark of Chaos Energy.

Twilight raised an eyebrow at that, "That's strange. We had no problem channeling the power of the Chaos Emeralds when we used them against Robotnik the first time."

Sonic then pulled out one of the Chaos Emeralds they had in their possession and saw that it had turned grey.

"Obviously the work of the Three Musketeers," Spidey quipped.

As they all entered the castle, they had gazed upon the ponies and creatures gathered within the castle. There were some recognizable ponies among them. Starlight Glimmer, Trixie, Ember, The Young Six, The Cutie Mark Crusaders, Queen Novo, Shining Armor, Luna, Celestia, and so many more.

Twilight beamed happily as she flew over and embraced both Celestia and Luna.

"Thank you both so much for helping us!"

Celestia smiled kindly, "Of course, Princess. This threat you mentioned is a danger to not only our world, but All worlds."

"We are with you, Twilight," Luna added.

Starlight then walked over to her mentor, "To the end."

Tears threatened to burst from Twilight's eyes as she smiled the happiest smile she had in a long time. But that smile faded when she saw that Cadance wasn't among them. She turned to Celestia.

"Where's Cadance?"

Celestia and Luna looked down in sadness.

"After we sent out our letter to The Crystal Empire, Shining Armor had informed us that Cadance had been abducted a few hours prior," Celestia revealed.

Twilight looked crushed, but she knew who had taken Cadance, and she knew that she was going to make them pay dearly for this.

"We'll save her, just like we'll save everyone else," Twilight said optimistically.

She then turned around and floated into the air, gathering everyone's attention.

She then spoke in the Royal Canterlot Voice.

"I know that what I am asking of you is a lot. More than you could possibly give. But I'm not asking you as your Princess. I am asking you as a friend in need. In need of your help," everycreature listened closely as Twilight continued, "There is an enemy that appears to be all powerful. But they aren't. They may think that they hold the keys to victory. But they don't. Because they are missing a crucial element. Friendship. They may stand united as one. But if you'll help me and my friends, then we'll stand together. United in friendship. United as a kingdom. Together, we can save not only our world, but ALL worlds. So please. Will you stand with me?"

And with those final words, the room was filled with cheers and acknowledgement of their answer. Twilight had done it. She had the help she needed.

Sonic walked over to her and placed a hand on her should after she landed back on the ground.

"I guess you got your answer."

(End song)

Suddenly, a tremor shook Canterlot and the sound of a portal opening drew everyone outside. Once they went outside, they saw a large portal just outside the castle.

Sonic, Spidey, Twilight and the others all looked at one another with determination in their eyes.

"Here's the welcome mat," Miles quipped.

"This is it. This is where we end it. We stop them here and now," Shadow stated.

"Well then, what are we waiting for?" Sonic added.

Twilight looked toward the portal and flared her wings.

"Let's finish this."

Twilight had exited the portal first, then Sonic, and everyone else in their army stepped out of the portal. As the portal closed, they all saw Nethertower, the villains' base of operations in the distance.

Sonic sighed and pinched his nose, "If it isn't a Death Egg, it's a giant boss tower."

"SUP, SPIDER-MAN?" A sudden voice asked.

(Start from 0:13)

Suddenly, Electro appeared right in front of them, hovering in the air supporting a new look.

"How do you like my new suit?" Electro asked.

Peter took a step forward, "Electro? What did you do?"

"Heh. The dweebs actually did it. They made me a being made out of pure energy," he flared the electricity in his hands, "Oh, but that ain't all. I'm not the only one who got an upgrade."

Suddenly, multiple portals opened up and The Sinister Six, minus Doc Ock, stepped out, each with their own upgrades.

Then The Deadly Six, minus Zavok, stepped out and glared at the heroes as multiple mind controlled ponies, Badniks, Octobots, and Demon Thugs appeared through multiple portals.

(End song)

The armies glared at each other, waiting for anyone to make the first move.

Peter then entered a crouched position as the heroes got ready to fight.

"All right then."

Peter clenched his fist as he glared at the army before him.

"Let's save the multiverse."

Author's Note

Happy New Year Everybody!!!

Hope your year is prosperous and full of happiness!

Stay tuned for a battle of epic proportions!

War In Netherworld (Part 1)

The two armies then charged at one another, each glaring at their respective opponents. Spidey launched into the air and web zipped towards Electro and punched him in the jaw, to which the electric villain responded by turning around to where Spider-Man was and firing a bolt of electricity towards the wall crawler.

Twilight flew through the air, firing blasts of magic at multiple robots and mind controlled ponies. She then quickly turned to see Zazz leap into the air and attempt to slash at the alicorn. Twilight quickly dodged to the left and fired a bolt of magic as Zazz passed her, sending the Zeti to the ground.

Celestia and Luna led the charge against The Superior Empire's forces head on. Celestia took to the air and shot down a blast of magic, sending the enemy forces back a few feet. Luna charged head on, firing multiple blasts from her horn to try and thin them out.

It was the she glanced slightly to her left and caught Rhino charging right at her. Luna quickly took to the air to dodge the charging villain.... Only to be kicked back down to the ground by Master Zik, who landed right in front of her and pointed his staff at the alicorn. Luna gritted her teeth as she released a shockwave of magic that sent the incoming forces back, including the elderly Zeti.

Shining Armor let our a mighty war cry as he charged along side the Canterlot Royal Guard, as well as the Crystal Guard, toward the mind controlled ponies and the multitude of robots that headed their way. Shining gripped his sword in his mouth and slashes an Octobot to pieces, he didn't stop there as he quickly fired a blast from his horn and destroyed an incoming Egg Pawn to his left.

"DON'T LET UP! KEEP FIGHTING!"

The guards didn't even need to be told.

Starlight and Trixie were standing back to back as they blasted incoming Badniks and Octobots with their magic.

"You know....The Great and Powerful Trixie thought that this would be harder."

As Starlight rolled her eyes, her eyes suddenly widened as a massive blast of negative energy came their way. Starlight tackled Trixie to the ground as the blast went right past their heads. They both looked up to see Mr. Negative and Zeena standing there, ready for a fight.

Starlight gave Trixie a deadpanned look as the show mare chuckled awkwardly.

Ember and Queen Novo took to the sky to try and get a better shot at taking down the helicopters that were firing down relentlessly with their mini guns. Queen Novo was about to charge at one of the helicopters, but she was suddenly tackled to the ground by Vulture.

As the Queen got back up, Vulture took to the skies once again.

"Sorry. But the skies are mine to rule!"

Suddenly, Ember turned around to see Zor, who was standing atop his owl mech, approaching her.

"(Sigh) Just give up. Nothing matters in the grand scheme of things."

Queen Novo took to the skies and glared at The Vulture while Ember snarled at Zor.

Shadow was busy plowing through any robots he laid eyes on. A squadron of Egg Gunners aimed at the Ultimate Lifeform, but were suddenly webbed up, giving Shadow the opportunity to fire a Chaos Spear at the squadron, destroying them. Shadow turned to see Miles land behind him and give the hedgehog a thumbs up.

Suddenly, Miles' Spider-Sense went through the roof.

"SHADOW, MOVE!!!"

Shadow quickly teleported out of the way as Scorpion landed on the ground and stabbed the ground with his new stingers. Shadow reappeared and crossed his arms as Scorpion retracted his stingers and glared at the hedgehog.

Shadow glared, "I've been meaning to find you. I've been wanting to pay you back for poisoning me."

"Then by all means," Scorpion unsheathed his stingers, "COME AND GET ME!!!"

Shadow and Scorpion charged at one another, ready to settle this once and for all.

Miles was about to intervene, but something large landed behind him. He turned and saw Zomom standing right behind him.

Miles slumped forward, "Oh, gimme a break."

Zomom punched the ground in an attempt to hit Miles, but the young hero leaped out of the way, his fists charging with his Venom abilities.

(End song)

As the villains watched the battle through their massive monitor, they each gave one another a worried glance.

"It....appears that the battle is shifting in the enemies favor..." Sombra muttered.

"But it is ever so slightly..... They have a small army while we have thousands upon thousands of lackeys at our disposal..." Otto added.

"WHAT HAPPENED?!" Eggman exclaimed loudly.

Eggman then began pacing around the room in a frantic manner.

"No-no-no! This... This is to be expected! We-we sent them to crush those bothersome heroes, but they bust our robots and beat our lackeys ALL the time!" Eggman reassured himself.

Sombra turned around with sweat dipping down his head, "Right, right! Sonic and Twilight's friends were weak enough to be captured! So OBVIOUSLY The Sinister Six, The Deadly Six, and our armed forces were just a stalling tactic!"

Otto crossed his arms and rolled his eyes, "Obviously." he muttered sarcastically.

The three villains then turned to face one another, although Otto looked far more composed then his two partners, he too was starting to get a little worried that their plans were beginning to fall apart.

Eggman then chuckled nervously, "Besides, with the nature of this zone, we can call upon an unlimited amount of robots to stall them for a little longer while we get everything prepared for the final phase of our plan, so there's really nothing to worry about!"

The mad doctor didn't sound so sure, but Sombra decided to go along with him.

"Agreed, never mind the OTHER counter measures we've built and have in the works!" The dark unicorn added nervously.

"There's no feasible way that those annoyances will stop us in time!" Otto finished with a more collective voice.

The three villains chuckled nervously, before all of them went into deep thought.

"I've seen enough of my plans fall apart to know where this is going! If all else fails, I'll be taking The Sinister Egg Core back to MY WORLD! My sincerest apologies, you two, but I'm afraid that you'll both have to be stuck here FOREVER with those annoying pests!" Sombra thought to himself.

"It's been fun, you two, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to cut you both loose! If everything else fails I can at least return to Mobius with my GLORIOUS Sinister Egg Core! I may build a statue in remembrance." Eggman thought.

"My revenge is at risk thanks to those two imbeciles! There's nothing wrong with reaching for the stars, but they reached TOO FAR. I'm afraid that I'll be taking The Sinister Egg Core back to New York to finish off Osborn while you two continue to bicker for all eternity." Otto said in his thoughts.

Eggman stammered for a moment before saying, "Well- Back to work! Can't waste any time now!"

Otto nodded, "Indubitably! We're not just going to beat those fools with our good looks now are we?"

Sombra smirked, "Says who?"

The three villains laughed together before walking off, sneering at one another as their final weapon was being close to completion.

This was evident as a single red eye began to glow.

War In Netherworld (Part 2)

Electro fired a blast of electricity at Spidey, causing the wall crawling hero to quickly zip away and stick to the side of a nearby cliff. Electro growled in anger and started building up a mass amounts of energy. He then released the energy he built up within himself and sent massive amount of electricity towards Spider-Man.

Peter's eyes widened as he quickly jumped off the cliffside and performed a barrel roll as he landed. He turned around and glared at the electric villain. Electro chuckled as he aimed his right palm in Spidey's direction. He would've fired another shot of electricity had it been for Sonic, who hit Electro in the back with a Spin Dash.

Electro stumbled in the air as Sonic flipped over the villain and landed next to Peter. Electro growled in anger as he formed tow orbs of electricity in the palms of his hands. He then threw down the orbs, aiming at the two heroes down below. Sonic and Spidey thought quickly and swung/ran away from the incoming orbs.

As the orbs impacted the ground, waves of electricity spread out from the points of impact, seemingly homing in on the two heroes as the bolts of lightning followed the two heroes wherever they went.

Electro crossed his arms and laughed, "Neat trick, huh? I got lots more where that came from!"

Sonic ran as fast as he could, but he just couldn't lose the bolt of lightning that was on his tail. The same could be said for Spider-Man, as he was having trouble avoiding the bolt of lightning. Eventually the bolts caught up with the two heroes and struck them both in the back, sending them through the air and rolling to a stop on the sandy ground.

Electro readied his hands as they flared up with electricity. But he was suddenly knocked to the floor by Zazz, who was thrown through the air by Twilight. Said Princess landed on the ground next to her friends.

"Are you both okay?"

Peter rolled his shoulder in a backward motion, "Yeah, just peachy."

Sonic got to his feet just as Zazz was blasted off into the sky by Electro, who shot up into the air, electricity surrounding his very being. He raised his arms into the air as electricity shot right out of his fingertips and crackled through the air.

Peter turned to Twilight, "How do we stop him? I've never seen him this powerful!"

Twilight flared her horn and spread out her wings as she entered a crouched position, "It's Dark Magic! We have to drain it out of him!"

Electro shook his head, "You're not gonna take this away from me!"

Twilight fired a shot from her horn, but Electro swatted it away with his hand, "That's not gonna work, toots!"

Twilight turned to Peter, "I need a few minutes to ready a spell to drain his Dark Magic. Think you both can keep him occupied for a minute or two?"

Sonic chuckled as he entered his battle stance, "Heh. Do you even need to ask?"

(End song)

Meanwhile, the villains were watching the battle unfold on their monitor inside Nethertower. Otto was busy making the final calculations while Sombra and Eggman watched the intense battle.

"YES! GO MY MIND CONTROLLED SLAVES! CRUSH THEM LIKE THE PEASENTS THEY ARE! WAIT! NO, YOU FOOL! GET OUT OF RHINO'S WAY!"

While Sombra was clearly engaged with what he was seeing, Eggman had strangely said nothing. He just stood there, staring at the screen with his arms folded behind his back with a blank look on his face.

"You don't seem amused." A sudden voice broke him out of his thoughts.

The egg shaped man turned around to see the origin of the voice and saw their new arrival entering the room through the door.

Otto dropped what he was doing and walked over to the new arrival.

"Taskmaster. I see you've accepted our generous offer."

The mercenary crossed his arms over his chest, "By 'generous', you mean either working with you or end up like everyone else. Plus the pay for this job was just too enticing."

Otto nodded and returned to his work while Taskmaster turned to Eggman, "But back to what I said earlier. You don't seem amused."

"Oh, I always love to watch robot-on-hedgehog violence. I'm just piecing together a little puzzle..."

Orbot then entered the room and hovered over towards Eggman.

"If I might bother you, boss? There..... appears to be a very faint and weak magical signature coming from the lower levels of the tower. Specifically the prison wing."

Eggman then grinned, "I knew it!"

Sombra and Otto turned towards Eggman, "Is there a problem?" They both asked simultaneously.

Eggman smiled widely, "Not at all. You both finish up and keep a watch on things here." Eggman then turned towards the door, "We'll handle it. Metallix! With me!"

The metallic copy nodded and walked out of the room with his master. Taskmaster crossed his arms and leant back against the wall, Zavok watched on from the shadows, and Otto eyed the door suspiciously.

"Whatever you're intending to do, Ivo. Make sure it doesn't put everything we've worked for in jeopardy." Otto thought to himself.

(Start from 5:18)

Spidey launched into the air and webbed up Electro's arms to try and slow him down a bit. But Electro was having none of that as he quickly broke free and flew towards Peter at high speeds and grabbed him by his neck as he flew through the air. Electro then lowered himself and dragged Peter through the sandy ground as he flew.

He then threw Spider-Man in front of him and hit the wall crawler with multiple bolts of electricity, holding him in mid air with his relentless bolts of lightning. Peter screamed in pain as Electro held him in place, not letting up on the attack. Sonic saw this and went for a Homing Attack, directly aimed at Electro's back.

But as the hedgehog jumped into the air, a strand of electricity shot from Electro's back and electrocuted the blue hedgehog. The electric bolt then moved Sonic next to Peter, letting Electro see the two heroes scream in agony as he continued to electrocute them.

"How do ya like me now, Spider-Man?!"

(End song)

Electro was about to finish them off by adding one final blast of electricity. But suddenly, he was struck in the back by a beam of purple magic, encasing him in an aura of magic, causing him to release both Sonic and Peter.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!" Electro shouted.

Twilight then teleported in front of him with a smug look on her face.

"You may be powerful, Electro. But the magic currently powering you pales in comparison to mine. The magic powering you is dark and malignant. While mine is light and hopeful. My magic is the true representation of Harmony!"

Twilight then began draining Electro of the Dark Magic that was powering him. Strands of darkness left his body and faded away into nothing. While this was happening, Electro's form began to change back into his normal appearance. As the last of the Dark Magic left his body, Peter attached a line of webbing to Electro's chest and pulled himself towards the electric villain.

"Lights out, Electro!"

Peter then punched Electro to the ground, defeating his enemy.

(End song)

Twilight huffed and puffed, panting from exhaustion.

"Wow, that spell took a lot out of me." Said the alicorn.

Sonic walked over and patted her on the back, "Way to go, Twi! Hopefully you still have some energy left in the tank," Sonic then turned towards Nethertower, "Because this is far from over."

Meanwhile, in Cadance's cell, she was trying to attempt to contact Twilight through the connection they have thanks to the love they have for one another. While her horn was slightly flaring up, she wasn't getting anywhere.

"Come on, Twilight. Please feel the connection. Everything depends on it," Cadance muttered.

Her concentration was severed however, as her cell suddenly opened up, revealing Dr. Eggman and Metallix, standing there as a bright light shone behind the two.

"Well-well-well. Aren't we resourceful?" Cadance quickly turned around to face the mad villain as he approached the alicorn. "You know, I was wondering how exactly you found out about our plans to rewrite reality itself. I was about to dismiss it to your own intelligence. Boy, that would have been the day, one of you ponies having actual intellect? Preposterous! But then I remembered your conversation with Sombra. Due to your long history, I now know for sure that the fool spilled the beans for our plan, just so he could gloat! So I had a thought. You knowing that information could be very detrimental to our plans. And here you are, using a connection that only you and Twilight could possibly have, to try and warn her of our plans. Yes, you are very resourceful."

Metallix then walked forward and grabbed Cadance's horn and placed a ring on it.

"This ring is special. It not only dampens your magic further. But it also innates your alicorn attributes. Like your immortality. Metallix! Bring her!" Eggman ordered.

Metallix nodded and dragged Cadance behind him as they walked past the other cells, containing Twilight and Sonic's friends.

"PRINCESS CADANCE?!" Rarity shouted in alarm.

"LET 'ER GO, YA DARN DIRTY VARMIT!" Applejack demanded.

"YOU DO ANYTHING TO HER AND YOU'LL REGRET IT, EGGHEAD!!!" Rainbow shouted.

"Eggman, what are you doing?!" Tails asked.

"LET HER GO, EGGMAN!!!" Knuckles yelled in absolute anger.

Eggman just scoffed as he ignored everyone else's pleas and demands. He then turned his head towards Cadance as he walked towards the Gateway room.

"I hate to admit it, but when Sombra said you'd be trouble, I underestimated you. I didn't think you'd be so crafty. That was a mistake."

They then entered the room, Eggman approached the computer console and activated the gateway. The portal opened up, revealing a birds eye view of the battlefield.

"A mistake I won't make TWICE. Not when I'm THIS close to winning."

Cadance looked terrified and gave Eggman a pleading look, "W-WAIT! YOU DON'T NEED TO-"

"I may not NEED to. But I WANT to," Eggman then got right in Cadance's face, "Goodbye, Mi Amore Cadenza."

Metallix then threw her through the Gateway, sending her plummeting down on the other side of the portal. As the portal closed, Eggman gave a horrific, evil laughter at the thought of his victory.

"Hehehehe. HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO!!!"

Meanwhile, back on the battlefield, Twilight and the others were approaching the tower. But their attention was suddenly drawn to the sky. They looked up to see a portal open and see something falling from it.

"Hey, what is that?" Sonic asked.

Peter used the lenses in his mask to zoom in. His eyes widened as he got a clear view of Cadance.

"Uh, guys! We got a pink alicorn falling to the ground at high speeds!" Peter revealed.

Once those words were uttered, Twilight's eyes widened in horror. She immediately took off into the air.

"CADANCE!!!"

War In Netherworld (Part 3)

"HANG ON, CADANCE! I'M COMING!!!"

Twilight flew at speeds she had never gone before to try and catch her sister-in-law before she hit the ground. As she was approaching Cadance, she had a look of hope in her eyes. She was gonna do it. She was gonna save her.

"Oh no, you don't!!!"

Just as he said that, Vulture swooped in from above and kicked her to the ground at high speeds. A crater forming where Twilight had landed.

Meanwhile, Sonic was speeding back and forth, hands on his head as he tried to think of something.

"Can you get up there?!" Peter asked stressfully.

"SHE'S FALLING STRAIGHT DOWN AT HIGH SPEEDS! I WON'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO GAIN ENOUGH MOMENTUM TO GET UP THERE AND SAVE HER!!" Sonic replied in a panicked manner.

"SAY PRAYER, SPIDER!!!"

Suddenly, Peter pulled Sonic out of the way of Rhino, who was charging right at the blue hero. But before Sonic could thank his friend, he was suddenly tackled to the ground as a blast of negative energy went right past them.

Things are not looking good.

Celestia and Luna tried to fly over to catch Cadance, but the helicopter full of Demon Thugs were not gonna let them pass as they kept firing bullets from their minigun at the two former rulers of Equestria.

Shadow ducked under Scorpion's tail and knocked him down by sweeping at his legs. Shadow then saw Cadance and skated forward at high speeds.

(End song)

As Cadance approached the ground, she closed her eyes and shed tears.

"Twilight. Shiny. Take care of Flurry. And tell her I'm sorry."

She was about to hit the ground when suddenly....

(End song)

Shadow appeared and caught her in his arms.

"CHAOS CONTROL!!!"

Shadow then teleported to the ground and slid to a stop with Cadance in his arms.

(End song)

Shadow put Cadance down and removed the wing clamp and the ring on her horn.

Cadance looked up to Shadow with tear in her eyes.

"T...Thank you."

Shadow merely nodded in response. Shadow then raised his arms and spoke into his communicator.

"Sparkle. Armor. I have Cadance here. She's fine, so quickly get over here if you can."

As Shadow lowered his arm, Twilight and Shining Armor both teleported to their location and ran over towards them at a fast pace and tackled Cadance in a bone crushing hug. Each of them crying tears of joy and happiness.

"I'm so glad you're okay!" Shining sobbed.

Twilight pulled away, "Y...You are okay, right?"

Cadance nodded and wiped her eyes with her foreleg, "Yeah. I am. But right now, you and your friends are needed in Nethertower. You need to stop Sombra and his allies. You need to not only save our world. But ALL worlds from being rewritten."

Twilight tilted her head, "Being rewritten?"

Cadance nodded, "That's their plan. They want to rewrite EVERYTHING. Every world, everypony, every universe! You need to stop them! I'll be fine here. GO!!!"

Twilight nodded, "O...Okay! We'll stop them," she then pulled Cadance into an embrace, "Just stay safe, okay?" Cadance nodded as Twilight turned to Shadow, "Shadow. Thank you."

Shadow nodded as Twilight teleported away.

As Sonic and Peter readied themselves for battle, Mr. Negative and Rhino were held in place by two magical auras. Both belonging to Celestia and Luna. The two former Princesses then blasted the villains away with their magic. Before anyone could say anything, Twilight appeared before them all.

"Cadance is safe, thanks to Shadow. But now we need to end this, and fast!"

Sonic smirked at that.

Twilight turned to Celestia and Luna, "Can you two blast a hole in the side of that tower?"

They both nodded, "Need you ask?" Luna replied.

The two then lit up their horns with their magic and fired two super powered magic beams at the side of Nethertower, creating a way in for our heroes.

Celestia turned to Twilight, "We will handle things out here. You three need to stop whatever it is they're planning."

Peter nodded, "That's the plan."

Luna nodded, "Now go save us."

They all nodded and made their way to the tower as Celestia and Luna flew towards the incoming Rhino and Mr. Negative. Peter swung upwards, Twilight flew, and Sonic ran all the way to the hole in the side of the tower, determined to finish this once and for all.

(Start from 0:11)

Eggman walked through the door alongside Metallix, whistling a happy tune, completely ignoring Orbot and Cubot, who were motioning for him to get out of there.

"How's the battle going, boys?" Eggman asked.

Suddenly Eggman was held in place by a magical aura. It was then that Sombra got right in his face.

"YOU TRIED TO KILL CADANCE!!!"

"Of course! She knew too much, and was trying to contact Princess Twilight! She had to be dealt with!" Eggman replied.

"NO! Not like that! Cadance is a nuisance, but I WON'T see her MURDERED!"

Sombra's grip on Eggman ceased, causing the egg shaped man to stumble back. He then pointed a finger at Sombra.

"What? You HATE her! I would think you'd be HAPPY!" Eggman snarled.

"IDIOT! I want her embarrassed, defeated, and to make her serve the rest of her immortal life as my servant! She can't do that if she's DEAD!!!"

Suddenly, they were both grabbed by Otto's mechanical arms and were raised into the air.

"I've had about ENOUGH of this pointless bickering! Due to the recklessness of BOTH of you, those fools not only know of our plan, but we've lost our only source of leverage over them!!! You call yourselves geniuses but you're nothing but FOOLS!!!" Otto shouted in anger.

Sombra's eyes glowed a menacing green, "Says the one who lost to the rabble dressed in pajamas!!!"

Otto snarled at the dark unicorn.

"YOU think your any smarter than ME? HAH! That's funny, considering all you've been doing this entire time was nothing but POINTLESS calculations! No wonder you lost your company!!!" Eggman mocked.

"WHY YOU...."

"Hey, 'geniuses'. Spider-Man and his animal buddies have infiltrated the tower. Or are you too busy slap-fighting to care?" Taskmaster informed his employers.

(End song)

All of their eyes widened in realization. Otto lowered the others to the ground. Sombra held his head up while Eggman dusted himself off.

"Hmph. Send the Guardian Angels. They should at least slow them down long enough for us to get our final weapon online." Sombra ordered.

Eggman continued dusting himself off, "Yes. Metallix, take Zavok and guard Checkpoint X! If they manage to get THAT far, it's up to you two to finish them."

Otto crossed his arms, "Taskmaster, go with them. It's time to earn your keep."

Sombra sneered as he thought to himself, "You've gone too far, Ivo. The situation is bad enough, but then you try to kill Cadance...? And Otto, your lust for vengeance is hindering my goals for Multiversal domination. I see you both for what you really are. We'll finish the Sinister Egg Core, and then IT will finish the two of YOU."

Eggman grumbled while thinking, "I had such hope for the both of you. But you two have shown your weakness. We'll complete the Sinister Egg Core, not that it will do you two any good."

"You two simpletons have gotten on my nerves for the last time. I will not have my vengeance taken away from me because of the ignorance of YOU two. Once the Sinister Egg Core is online, I will personally see to it that you two are extinguished." Otto thought to himself while gritting his teeth.

Sonic, Spidey, and Twilight charged down the halls of the Nethertower in search of the villains.

"Guys, I'm telling you. This is EXACTLY like the Death Egg. Follow my lead!" Stated the blue blur.

Twilight had a smirk on her face, "And I'M telling YOU.... This is classic Sombra defenses. Follow MY lead!"

Peter shook his head as he swung down the hallway, "You guys have it ALL wrong. THIS is just like a good ole' fashion Oscorp Weapons Lab. You both should follow MY lead!"

The heroes jumped over what seemed to be an electrified bridge and made it to the other side with ease.

Sonic rested his hands behind his head and smirked, "Beam bridges? Exposed Super-Conductors? DEATH. EGG. Deal with it."

The heroes then approached what seemed to be an enchanted door.

Twilight had a smug look on her face, "Enchanted doors showing your greatest fear? Nuh-uh. TOTALLY a Sombra design."

The heroes were evading multiple shots from two sentry guns with laser sights.

"Advanced weaponry that locks onto its target? Yeah, I rest my case," Peter quipped.

(End song)

The heroes were walking into a room with Sonic leading them.

"Okay, that about covers the traps. What will settle this debate will be the robot...."

Sonic and the others gapped at the three robots that stood before them.

"Guards?"

Peter looked to the others and sighed, "We calling this a tie?"

Sonic glanced toward Peter, "Yep."

Twilight smirked, "You would."

War In Netherworld (Part 4)

"So.... How are we doin' this?" asked the hyperactive blue hedgehog.

Peter stretched as he cracked his fingers, "Simple. They each look like they were made to fight US specifically. So, I will take the skinny one, we'll call him.... The Stranger. Sonic will take the smaller one..... let's call that one The Android. And Twi can take the big one....." Peter then snaps his fingers, "I got it, The Demon."

Twilight smirked and raised an eyebrow, "Did you just come up with those names on the spot?"

Peter smirked behind his mask, "Maybe."

"Alright then," Sonic smirked at The Guardian Angels, "Let's dance, losers!"

Rhino charged forward towards Luna at high speeds. Luna however remained undeterred. She lit up her horn and casted a protective barrier around herself. As Rhino hit the barrier with his horn, the barrier exploded and pushed Rhino right back into the incoming Zeti, Zomom, sending him to the floor as well.

Zeena leaped into the air and tried to slash at Celestia, but the solar alicorn grabbed the Zeti with her magic and flung her at Mr. Negative, knocking them both down. Zazz charged forward, laughing maniacally, readying his attack as he moved towards Celestia. The solar alicorn readied herself, but the Zeti was blasted away by Starlight Glimmer.

Starlight smiled at Celestia, the alicorn smiling back, and they both turned to face Master Zik and Vulture. Vulture took to the air and prepared to throw his metallic feathers at the two ponies. But he was suddenly kicked away by Queen Novo and punched to the ground by Dragon Lord Ember.

Master Zik launched himself into the air and readied his staff.... Only to be encased in a magical barrier and slammed to the ground. Starlight and Celestia turned to see Trixie smirking at the pair.

"That old thing may be a master. But he is nothing compared to The Great and Powerful Trixie!"

Starlight and Celestia proceeded to shake their heads.

Zor was punched off of his owl mech by Miles while Scorpion was busy fighting Shadow. Zor got up and was about to attack, but Miles webbed up his mouth and zipped over to the Zeti and Venom Punched him to the ground. Shadow ducked under Scorpion's stingers and swiped at the villains legs, knocking him down.

The heroes then regrouped with one another as the villains got back up to their feet and proceeded to surround the heroes.

"They fight valiantly!" Luna commented.

"You know, they REALLY should have put fighting villains and beings from other dimensions on the resume," Miles quipped.

Starlight exhaled, "I hear ya."

Celestia sighed, "It seems the Magic of Friendship is not only bound to OUR universe. However we must continue to fight, even though I wish there was a more peaceful solution."

Shadow cracked his knuckles, "Unfortunately there isn't. All we can do now is buy the others enough time to finish this!"

(End song)

Shadow then proceeded to take off his Inhibitor Rings. Suddenly, the hedgehog was engulfed in a fiery red aura, causing the others to look at him with worry.

Shadow clenched his fists and turned to Celestia and Luna, "Teleport everyone out of here, NOW!!!"

The two alicorns nodded and lit up their horns, teleporting everyone away as the villains charged towards Shadow, who gritted his teeth in anger.

"NOW TO SHOW YOU ALL WHY I'M THE ULTIMATE LIFEFORM!!! BEHOLD THE ULTIMATE POWER!!!"

"CHAOS. BLAAAASSST!!!"

A massive explosion sent all of the villains flying through the air. This massive demonstration of power gathered the attention of everyone present on the battlefield. Inside the newly formed crater was Shadow, who was panting heavily as he got back to his feet.

Shadow then walked out of the crater and was met by hordes of enemies.

"Heh, who's next?"

Meanwhile, from a distance, Spike flew over to Miles and whispered, "Remind me to never make Shadow mad."

Miles nodded nervously in response.

(End song)

"STOP. STEALING. MY. MOVES!!!"

Sonic and The Android bounced from wall to wall, getting nowhere as they fought.

The Stranger fired beams from his hands as Peter jumped from the wall to the floor. Peter shot a web ball from his Web Shooters, but the attack only went through the mechanical guardian.

"OH COME ON!"

Twilight was blasted to the wall by a tail whip from The Demon.

"Okay. CLEARLY this is getting nowhere."

Sonic ducked under The Androids Spin Kick attack and quickly Spin Dashed away from his enemy to quickly come up with a plan.

"Yeah, tell me about it!"

Twilight had an idea, "So why don't we switch it up?"

The other two heroes smirked at the suggestion and quickly got back into action.

The Android glared at the blue hedgehog and dashed over.... Only to be wrapped up in webbing courtesy of Spider-Man. Peter then hurled The Android at The Stranger as Twilight caught the machine with her magic, causing The Stranger to be hit by his fellow guardian.

Sonic ran circles around The Demon, confusing the machine foe. Sonic then hit The Demon in the chest, sending it flying towards the other Guardian Angels. They all crashed together and fell onto the floor. As they tried to get up, Twilight encased them in a magic bubble as Sonic revved up a Spin Dash.

Twilight popped the bubble as Sonic busted through all three of the robots, destroying them on impact, ending this battle.

(End song)

"Whoo! Nice job!" Peter cheered.

"I know, who's awesome? Yours truly," Sonic boasted, much to the annoyance of his two friends. The blue hedgehog then ran for the next checkpoint,. "Come on! My shoe has an appointment with Eggman's face!"

The others nodded and followed him out of the room.

The heroes were currently dodging all sorts of lasers in Checkpoint S....

But that was nothing compared to the mass amounts of Demon Thugs in Checkpoint T....

Or the missile launchers they face in Checkpoint U.....

Or the deadly maze filled with lasers and buzz saws in Checkpoint V....

Or the closing walls in Checkpoint W.

But after all of that, they finally reached the door that led towards Checkpoint X.

"This is it," Peter said.

"Are you sure?" Twilight asked.

"Positive. My Spidey-Sense is going through the roof."

"So we better be careful," Sonic added as the doors opened.

They walked into a dark room with no lighting whatsoever.

"Power's out. Did we win already?" Sonic asked.

Twilight lit her horn to brighten up the room, "Careful. There's no telling-"

Suddenly, Peter's Spidey-Sense went off. He looked over and quickly pulled Twilight over towards him with his webbing as an arrow flew past her head.

"Phew, that was close. Lucky for you whoever shot that arrow was a bad shot," Peter said to Twilight.

"If I wanted to hit you, I would have. I've studied ALL of The Avengers skills. But I've also studied yours."

The lights turned on, revealing a battle chamber occupied by Taskmaster, Zavok, and Metallix.

Peter's eyes widened, "Taskmaster?!"

"Hello students. Are ready to get taken to school?" Taskmaster quipped as Zavok and Metallix charged towards the heroes.

Vs. Taskmaster, Metallix, & Zavok

"The doctors and their pet can't see you now, I on the other hand, have been REALLY looking forward to this!" Zavok stated as Metallix flew past him.

Metallix got to work and grabbed Sonic by the throat and slammed him into a nearby wall. His eyes glowed menacingly as he removed Sonic from the wall and punched him across the battle chamber.

Sonic rolled and tumbled before skidding to a stop in a crouched position, glaring at the metallic menace, "Ooookay.... So this model isn't messing around."

This was made evident as Metallix raised his left arm as it transformed into a Gatling Gun and aimed it right at the blue hedgehog.

"That's new!" Sonic said quickly as Metallix fired his gun.

Sonic ran at high speeds to avoid the bullets. Metallix took to the air and chased after the speedy blue hedgehog. As he ran, Sonic glanced behind him to see Metallix right on his tail. Metallix aimed his gun and fired.

"YIKES!!!"

Sonic swayed left and right at super speed to avoid the onslaught of bullets that were raining down upon him. Sonic made it to a nearby wall and ran up it to get the height advantage on his metallic counterpart. As he ran up the side of the wall, he bounced himself off of it and backflipped over Metallix as the robotic copy flew under him.

Sonic quickly pushed down and stomped on Metallix's back when he got into the right position to do so, sending them both to the ground. Before they landed, Sonic bounced off of Metallix's back and landed on the ground safely while Metallix crashed down harshly.

Sonic dusted off his hands and turned around, smirking, "Do you even know who I am- OOF"

Sonic was interrupted as Metallix dashed forward and delivered Sonic a nasty Haymaker, sending him to the floor. Before Sonic could process what happened, Metallix stomped his foot onto the hedgehogs chest, preventing him from getting up. Metallix bent down and grabbed Sonic by the neck and raised him into the air.

Metallix then proceeded to punch Sonic's ribs before kicking him in the chest, sending him across the room. Sonic crashed into the wall before falling to the floor in pain. As Sonic got up to his feet, Metallix bent down as two missile launchers emerged from his back.

Sonic exhaled, "This might be harder than I thought."

(End song)

Meanwhile, the trio of villains were busy adding the final touches on their Sinister Egg Core, albeit with some difficulties due to the battles going on inside and outside.

"Slow EVEN strokes. I'm not piloting this thing into victory if it looks sloppy!" Sombra stated.

"I still don't get why WE had to do this. My Badniks could have done it just fine," grumbled the egg shaped doctor.

Suddenly a violent tremor shook the foundation, causing the villains to lose balance as they worked.

"ARGH, CURSE IT ALL! Never mind those fools outside, the fight between our last line of defense and those heroes will tear this tower APART! If they disrupt The Sinister Egg Core's generator now, all of this will have been for nothing!" Otto shouted in frustration.

"It's worse than that. At this delicate stage the multiverse might not change at all, but it might destabilize into a multiversal collapse! And THAT wouldn't be good for anyone! Now focus, you two, FOCUS! Once The Sinister Egg Core is fueled by the Chaos Emeralds and the Magic of those annoying ponies, nothing will stop us! Be it hedgehog, pony, human or whatever!" Eggman explained.

Sombra grumbled in annoyance, "I still think I should have a naming prefix in our final weapon, but no~"

"Oh quit your nonsense, King Sombra! We have a weapon to finish!" Eggman declared in annoyance.

Sombra sneered as he thought to himself, "Yes, we shall finish. And by 'finish' I mean finish the two of YOU! You're too psycho to be kept alive and Otto is too weak-willed to finish what we started! I know that now!"

"This shall be finished. As will your pathetic lives!" Otto sneered in thought.

"Oh, I'll finish this-- and YOU! You weak-willed buffoons! Still, I need to hurry. Sonic and his allies are at our last line of defense." Eggman thought to himself.

Twilight tried to fly past Zavok to try and get a better angle to do some damage to the leader of the Zeti. But as she flew past the Zeti, Zavok grabbed her tail and pulled her back and slammed her to the floor. Twilight tried getting up, but Zavok stomped on her chest to prevent her from getting up.

"Foolish Equine. You merely delay the inevitable." Zavok taunted as he leaned down toward Twilight's face.

Twilight responded by igniting her horn and flashing a bright light in Zavok's eyes, blinding him as he stepped off of the alicorn mare.

Twilight then got to her hooves and glared at the Zeti, "The only thing that is inevitable is YOU spending the rest of your days in Tartarus!"

Zavok roared as he charged forward towards Twilight. As Zavok reeled back a punch, Twilight casted a shield spell to protect her from the attack. But Zavok didn't give up as he punched and punched, causing the shield to crack ever so slightly. Twilight had had enough and released a burst of magic from her horn, destroying the shield and sending Zavok flying into the wall behind him.

As Zavok fell to the floor, Twilight took flight and lit up her horn, "Had enough?"

Zavok smiled as he stood up, "I must commend you. I didn't think one such as yourself had such strength," he then snapped his fingers as the the floor underneath him split open. He then jumped in, much to Twilight's confusion, only to fly back up on the back of The Death Queen mech.

Zavok smiled, "But your foolishness ends NOW."

Twilight's eyes turned to pinpricks as The Death Queen fired lasers from its eyes, directed at Twilight.

(End song)

Peter wasn't having much luck either. Every move that he made, Taskmaster would counter it with exact precision. Due to his photographic reflexes, Taskmaster made for a worthy foe.

"You know, you still seem really tacky to me, Taskmaster."

Taskmaster pointed his sword at the spider hero, "Keep yapping your mouth, kid. I was told to not kill the horse, but they gave me free reigns when it comes to you. I'm gonna make your death nice and slow."

Peter shot some webbing, but Taskmaster flipped over it as he charged towards him. Peter tired to kick Taskmaster, but the mercenary jumped into the air and kicked tried to kick Peter in the face, but his Spider-Sense alerted him of the danger, allowing him to duck under the attack.

As Taskmaster landed behind Spider-Man, said hero turned to punch the mercenary, only to be blocked. He went for a kick, only to be blocked. Every attack in his arsenal was being blocked, he couldn't do anything. Taskmaster was done playing around and kicked Peter in the chest, sending him flying through the air and landing harshly in the center of the room.

Metallix punched Sonic in the gut while Zavok blasted Twilight in the back with The Death Queen's lasers. This caused all three heroes to meet up in the middle while the villains surrounded them.

Peter glanced at the others, "You guys doin' okay?"

Twilight looked unsure whiled Sonic held his arm, "I'm fine, just a little crispy."

"Oh good, cause I'm not doing so good over here."

Twilight sighed, "This isn't doing us any good. We're supposed to be hurrying to stop the villains, not getting stuck fighting these three."

Sonic rolled his arm, "Alright, so we'll fall back on the old 'Mix and Match' plan."

Twilight raised a brow, "And what is that exactly?"

"We switch opponents so we-"

Peter shook his head as he cut Sonic off, "Not gonna work. Taskmaster can copy your move set by WATCHING you. We'll be right back where we started."

Sonic slumped forward as he slapped his forehead, "Okay then, new plan! We team up then! Don't give them any room to think! I say we take the new Metal Sonic, he has speed!"

The other two nodded as they got back up into the action.

Metallix charged forward at high speeds, ready to end this. But he was suddenly caught in a bubble, thanks to Twilight.

"READY WHEN YOU ARE, YOU TWO!!!"

Sonic quickly curled up into a ball as Spider-Man webbed him up into a wrecking ball. Spidey then swung him around in a circular motion. When he had enough momentum, he let go. Sonic flew towards Metallix at high speeds. Twilight released Metallix as Sonic plowed through his chest in a mighty Spin Dash.

Metallix fell to the floor, his entire body crackling with electricity. His eyes flickered before shutting off for good.

Zavok had had enough, "ENOUGH OF THIS!!!"

The stinger of The Death Queen spun around as a deadly drill. The mech flew forward towards Twilight, who casted a shield spell to block the attack. As the drill struggled to break through, Zavok was distracted, just as planned.

"HEY, RED HOT CHILLI PEPPER!!"

Zavok turned around.... only to be punched directly in the face by Spider-Man, launching him off of the mech and falling to the floor. The mech stopped drilling and fell to the floor, without someone piloting it, it had no function whatsoever. As Zavok got back up, he was immediately Spin Dashed into a wall by Sonic.

As Zavok recovered, he growled in anger, "NO! I WILL NOT LOSE AGAIN!"

But before he could do anything, Twilight had teleported in front of him and lit up her horn. Zavok suddenly felt really tired. He then proceeded to fall to the floor, out like a light.

Twi smiled, "Sleeping spell, never fails."

They all turned to Taskmaster, who didn't look worried in the slightest.

"You know, I must thank you for the demonstration. Now let me perfect your moves."

Twilight smirked as she lit up her horn. To Taskmaster's surprise, all the heroes turned invisible.

Taskmaster growled, "You cowards!"

Before he could do anything, he was suddenly hit in the back by a Homing Attack, this was then followed up by a magical blast that sent him flying across the room, before he hit the wall, Peter uncloaked as he reeled back a punch.

"Class dismissed."

He then delivered a powerful Haymaker punch directly to Taskmaster's face, knocking him out before he even hit the floor.

This class was over.

(End song)

Everyone exhaled as they stretched.

"Now I remember why I hate school," Sonic grumbled.

Twilight looked offended, "Are you kidding? How could you hate school? You get to learn so much!"

Peter and Sonic looked at each other, chuckling as Twilight pouted.

Peter then got serious, "Come on. We got some bad guys to beat...."

"AND WORLDS TO SAVE!!!" They all said in unison.

(Start from 0:35)

Suddenly Peter's Spider-Sense went off, but it was too late as a giant tentacle shot through the door leading into the final room and grabbed all the heroes. The tentacle began squeezing, causing the heroes to scream in pain before passing out. But not before seeing a giant red eye glow before them.

(End song)

"Ugh, my head..." Sonic moaned weakly.

"Anyone catch the number of that bus?" Peter quipped.

"....What happened?" Twilight asked.

They each looked around to see that they were all each in a type of glass chamber.

"Well, look who's awake? Mwahahahahaha!"

They all looked up to see Eggman, Doc Ock, and King Sombra standing on a hovering platform, smiling evilly.

Sonic didn't look worried, in fact, he smirked at his arch nemesis, "Oh, hey! Instead of finishing us off, you kept us alive to gloat over!"

Eggman smiled as he stroked his moustache, "Crushing you is easy. Crushing your SPIRIT is worth the extra effort."

"You're SO corny."

Otto smirked towards Peter, "Hello Peter."

Peter glared at his foe, "Otto, what are you doing?"

"You'll find out in a moment, my brave protégé."

"WHERE ARE OUR FRIENDS?!" Twilight demanded.

Sombra smirked, "Closer than you think."

Suddenly, multiple glass chambers rose from the floor, revealing Sonic and Twilight's friends.

"SONIC!!!"

"TWILIGHT!!!"

Sonic and Twilight looked fearful for their friend's safety.

"GUYS!!!" The hedgehog and mare shouted in unison.

"Mwahahahahaha! This is going VERY well." Eggman said as he rubbed his hands together.

Otto then moved one of his tentacles to a nearby table and retrieved the Emeralds that they had poached off of the heroes when they were unconscious.

"We must also thank you for handing the final Chaos Emeralds to us. You're too kind."

"What do you think you're doing, Otto?" Peter demanded to know.

Otto gave him a smirk, "Preparing for the final phase."

Suddenly, a giant robot descended from a newly opened hole in the top of the ceiling. Everyone present watched the massive monstrosity descend. This was it, their ultimate weapon.

"BEHOLD, FOOLS! OUR ULTIMATE WEAPON! THE SINISTER EGG CORE!!!" The three villains said in unison.

The eye of the mech opened up as the seven Chaos Emeralds floated inside and placed themselves on seven pedestals. Once placed, the eye closed as it glowed red.

Twilight looked as if she were piecing together a puzzle, "So, you had the army outside attack us as a distraction?"

"Very astute, Sparkle. And the best part is, even if the army failed, our defenses were another way for us to gather enough time to finish our weapon," Sombra explained.

"Our back up plans have back up plans!" Eggman added.

"So what? You're gonna use the Emeralds to rewrite our worlds?" Sonic asked.

"Not JUST the Emeralds, rodent. That's where you and your friends come in. Each of your friends have been around the Emeralds so much that you have stored up Chaos Energy inside all of you. We intend to not only absorb that energy from you," Eggman then pointed to the Mane 6 and Discord, "But also the magic of those annoying ponies and that worthless Draconequss!"

Sombra smiled a devilish grin, "And with those factors powering our Sinister Egg Core, we'll reshape EVERYTHING in EVERY universe."

"Rebuild the multiverse to the tiniest details," Otto added.

"WE WON'T BE SIMPLY CORRECTING THE MULTIVERSE..." Sombra started.

"WE'LL BE GODS!!!" Eggman finished.

As the chambers they were imprisoned in began to glow, the villains laughed evilly as their plan was finally coming together.

"AND WHEN WE ERASE YOU FOOLS FROM ALL REALITY, THERE WILL BE NO-ONE LEFT TO STOP US!!!"

(End song)

Author's Note

We're in the home stretch now.

The next chapter will be the start of the final battle against The Sinister Egg Core.

Stay tuned!

Assemble

"YOU'RE BEATEN!!!" Otto Shouted.

"YOU'RE BROKEN!!!" Sombra added.

"YOU'RE BESTED!!!" Eggman finished.

"THE SINISTER EGG CORE IS READY TO GO!!! WE'VE WON!!!" They all shouted in unison.

Everyone inside the chambers screamed in pain as the Chaos Energy and the ponies as well as Discord's magic was being drained from their being. The energy being collected was being fueled up in the canisters on The Sinister Egg Core's back, powering it up.

Spider-Man was the only one not being drained as he had no magic or Chaos Energy stored inside him. He glared at the three villains as they laughed.

Eggman smiled as he continued to gloat, "To be fair, you DID get past every single one of our defenses...."

"But what else is new?" Sombra added.

"You still came up short!" Otto finished.

"And there will be no last-minute rescues for you THIS time!" Eggman started.

"All of our forces are keeping your allies QUITE busy," Sombra finished.

Peter punched the glass in anger, cracking it slightly, "OTTO, PLEASE-- THIS CAN'T BE WHAT YOU WANT! YOU'VE WORKED YOUR WHOLE LIFE TO HELPING PEOPLE!!! YOU'RE GOING TO RESHAPE THE ENTIRE MULTIVERSE!!! HOW IS THAT GOING TO HELP ANYONE?!"

Otto crossed his arms and scoffed, "Hmph, granted slightly altering OUR world might have been enough for me, IN THE PAST! But once I've had my vengeance on Osborn and The Sinister Egg Core reshapes reality, I'll be the teacher and guidance that everyone will look up to. I'll save this wretched multiverse.... BY STARTING AGAIN!!!"

As Sonic fell to his knees inside his chamber, he grunted in pain as he glared at Eggman, "T-this is the....*hrk* Second time you've pulled this trick, Eggman! The multiverse wasn't meant to be warped by jerks like you!!! Haven't you learned from the last time you tried this?! Aren't you *Oomph* worried about breaking reality?!"

Eggman smiled, "Oh, our world is so bent out of shape that it is bound to SNAP! Yes I GLEEFULLY abused the fuzzy space-time of this zone to build up my army and slowly prepare our ultimate weapon. All without YOU catching on! But-"

Suddenly, he was grabbed by the chest by one of Otto's tentacles and was pulled towards the mad genius, "WAIT! Wait-wait-wait! You told us that Netherworld would allow us to CHEAT the rules of reality!"

Sombra lit up his horn in anger, "You never said we'd BREAK our worlds!!!"

"BUT---AS I WAS SAYING--- All that damage is moot!" Otto set Eggman down as he explained, "When I only had the Element's magic, I could only bend the rules of reality, cheat them, and so on. Now with the seven Chaos Emeralds, The Sinister Egg Core has NO LIMITS! Any damage that will be done will be erased when we reshape everything else!" He then glared at his associates, "SO DON'T GET YOUR MANES AND TENTACLES IN A KNOT!"

Sombra scoffed, "FINE."

Otto crossed his arms, "But you need to tell us these things."

Twilight glared hatefully at the three villains as she was being drained of her magic, "And you're going to keep all of us trapped here to make us watch! You three are SICK!"

"What is this, a new low for Sombra? Cause I'm not too surprised here." Sonic quipped as he was being drained.

Suddenly, the chambers shut off as the canisters on The Sinister Egg Core's back reached max capacity. The mech was then engulfed in a purple flaming aura of darkness. The three villains then smiled as the platform they were standing on ascended to the top of the mech.

A small hatch opened up and the three villains stepped in. Inside were three thrones. Sombra took his seat on the right, Otto took the left, and Eggman sat in the center.

(End song)

As everyone got back to their feet/hooves, The Sinister Egg Core roared a mighty roar as it became fully operational.

"And now, you all shall bare witness to our triumphant victory!" Sombra gloated.

Eggman smirked, "Gentlemen? Shall we have some fun before we reshape everything to our liking?"

Otto nodded, "We shall. And I know just where to start. New York."

As a giant vortex opened behind the mech, the three villains laughed as The Sinister Egg Core entered the vortex to go and destroy New York City.

(End song)

Suddenly, one of the walls in the room exploded and Shadow, Celestia, and Miles jumped through and entered the room. Celestia and Luna lit up their horns and the chamber were blasted apart, freeing everyone from their imprisonment. As Sonic shook his head, Shadow walked over and offered Sonic a hand to help him up, to which Sonic gladly accepted.

But just as Sonic got up, he was immediately tackled to the ground in a bone crushing hug by Amy. As Amy bawled her eyes out in Sonic's chest, Shadow rolled his eyes and walked away.

"I'm not helping you up again."

As Celestia and Luna giggled at the display of 'affection', Peter walked over to the two alicorns.

"Thanks for the assist. How's the battle outside?"

Miles then walked over to Peter, "It's really weird. For some reason all the robots just vanished and the mind controlled ponies, as well as The Sinister Six and those Zeti things, just fell to the ground unconscious."

Shadow crossed his arms, "It appears the doctor and his allies don't have a need for them anymore."

Meanwhile, The Mane 6 rushed over and tackled Twilight in a tight embrace.

Discord simply rolled his eyes.

"Well, I don't mean to be THAT guy, but shouldn't we be focusing on the giant shadowy robot monster thing that could rewrite ALL of reality?" Discord pointed out.

The group embrace ended as Twilight pulled away, "Girls, he's right. As happy as I am to see you all, we have to focus."

"Pfft. You worry too much, Twi. We'll stop 'em We always do," Rainbow said as she waved her hoof dismissively.

Applejack however, didn't look so sure, "Ah'm not so sure that it's gunna be that easy this time, sugarcube."

"The mare is right. Our foes not only have YOUR magic, but the seven Chaos Emeralds as well. This time, we'll need all the help we can get," Shadow added as he closed his eyes in deep thought.

Luna raised a brow, "What are you implying?"

Shadow smirked, "Well we did assemble an army, let's put it to good use."

It was a peaceful day in New York, well, as peaceful as can be considering the amount of threats that appear on a weekly basis. Civilians were walking around, going to work, going by their day to day lives.

Everything was peaceful.

Suddenly, a giant dark vortex opened up above the Empire State Building. Everyone looked up in fear and confusion.

From within the vortex, The Sinister Egg Core descended down, roaring so loudly that it could be heard all over the city. The citizens screamed and ran away to safety as one of the mechs giant tentacles swiped right through a building, knocking the top of it down to the ground below.

As the building fell, the mad villains piloting the machine laughed evilly at the destruction they were causing.

"That's right, fools! Flee from your destruction! It makes it all the more fun!" Sombra laughed as the mech opened one of its many claws and fired a laser that tore through multiple buildings.

The Sinister Egg Core then opened its mouth and fired a red and purple laser that destroyed more buildings and infrastructures.

"WATCH, NORMAN! WATCH AS I DESTROY THE CITY THAT YOU SWORE TO GUIDE TO GLORY!!! YOU TOOK EVERYTHING FROM ME, SO I'LL TAKE EVERYTHING FROM YOU!!!" Otto shouted as the mech turned its sights to Oscorp Tower.

The mech roared as three of its eight limbs shot forward and crashed into the building, its claws grabbing it in an unbreakable grip. The tentacles then pulled back, tearing the building apart as it did, causing it to collapse to the ground. Dust filled the streets of New York as the mech roared once again.

"This is better than I ever could have dreamed! Nothing can stop us now! Mwahahahaha!!!" Eggman laughed as multiple missiles launched from the back of the mech. Each missile hit a building, lighting them up in a blazing inferno.

NYPD were already in the streets, helping people evacuate and get to safety. A young woman gazed up at the sky as a piece of rubble was falling towards her. She would have perished if not for the kind senior with shades pulled her out of the way to safety.

The old man turned to the lady, "Are you okay, ma'am?"

The lady nodded and they both fled for safety.

"This, is too good to be true," Otto said to himself.

"And we're just getting started," Eggman stated.

(End song)

"RHARGGGGGGGHHHH!!!" A mighty and thunderous roar interrupted the thoughts of the three villains as the mech turned.

Only to be punched in the eye by a mighty green goliath.

The mech crashed into a building behind it as the green goliath landed on the streets.

The Hulk smashed down on the ground.

Otto glared at the hulking beast before them, "Banner."

"Is this a private party or can anyone join?"

Suddenly a barrage of missiles hit the top of the mech as a man in a metal suit flew around them.

The invincible Iron Man arrived on the scene.

"WHAT MOCKERY IS THIS?!!" Sombra shouted.

"HAVE AT THEE!!!"

Suddenly a large bolt of lightning shot down from the skies above and sent the mech through the building. The three villains looked on as a long haired man in a cape landed on a rooftop near them.

Thor raised Mjolnir into the air as lightning shot out of the hammer and into the sky.

Eggman growled angrily, "WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!"

Suddenly, all three villains looked up to see The Chimera hover out of the clouds and over New York.

A Quinjet flies down from The Chimera and onto the streets below. The hangar door opened and three individuals ran out. A man with a bow and arrow, a woman in a black jumpsuit, and a star spangled man all exited the Quinjet.

Black Widow, Hawkeye, and Captain America had all landed on the streets of New York.

The Avengers were here to stop The Sinister Egg Core.

Cap turned to Widow and Hawkeye, "Nat, Clint, I want you both to help with evac, get as many people as far away as you can. Once that's done, join the fight against that thing," they both nodded and went to help NYPD with evac. Cap then touched the earpiece in his helmet, "Stark, get that things attention, Thor, bring down the lightning!"

"Aye, it shall be a worthy battle!"

"You got it, Cap."

"Good. Hulk...." Cap started.

"SMASH!!!" Hulk roared as he leaped up into the air.

(End song)

Hulk then delivered a massive punch to the eye of The Sinister Egg Core, sending the machine through a few buildings.

The three villains then began preparing their ultimate weapon for battle.

"Main fuel line open?" Eggman asked Otto.

"Check! Gyroscopic Modifiers online?" Otto asked Eggman.

"They're in the green!" Eggman replied.

"LAUNCH ALREADY!!!" Sombra shouted

The mech gave out a mighty roar, to which Hulk replied with a roar of his own.

Sombra snarled as Hulk went in for another punch, but instead of punching the mech like he had anticipated, Hulk grabbed onto the mech and started laying into it.

"HULK SMASH YOU!!!"

Sombra snarled as he began mashing some buttons with his hooves, "I'LL SMASH YOU!!! Enjoy 50 thousand volts of protective shielding you--" only to find that they were doing nothing, "--WHY ARE MY DEFENSES OFFLINE?!"

Eggman then proceeded to laugh with glee, "Mwahahahaha! He's all yours, 'Hulk'! Now, Metal Man, hold still for a face full of Death Lasers!" Eggman smashed a big red button to fire the laser, only for an error to appear on his monitor, "'Weapons Offline?' Why are my---?"

Otto smirked at the situation, "Hmph. So long, fools. Now, Thor Odinson, prepare to face the destructive power that is my intellect!" Otto pulled a lever to launch some missiles at the Son of Odin, but nothing happened, "What is this?! What has---?"

The three villains then glared at one another before pointing at each other with hate filled expressions on their faces and shouting in unison.

"YOU SABOTAGED ME?!"

Iron Man then proceed to face palm while Thor groaned as he rolled his eyes.

(End song)

Meanwhile, in Netherworld, Sonic and Peter just got done talking with Celestia and Luna about their attack plan. As they were walking away, they noticed Twilight and the girls with teary expressions on their faces. Before they could intervene, the girls embraced in a hug, each of them saying something along the lines of "We had no idea" or "We're so, so sorry".

It was obvious that Twilight fessed up about her feelings of loneliness towards her friends. Once the embrace ended, they split apart as Rainbow and Twilight headed over towards the two heroes.

Sonic placed a hand on his hip, "I see you fessed up about your feelings?"

Twilight nodded, "Yep. I told them everything, about my feelings and all of that."

"And we swear that we'll never make you feel like that again, Twi," Rainbow said to her friend. She then turned to Peter, "So I hear you're a pretty cool super hero?"

Peter crossed his arms, "I'm only the coolest super hero around."

"Pfft. Yeah right."

Sonic and Twilight rolled their eyes at the scene before them.

Suddenly, a whooshing sound was heard, it appears that Tails and Miles got the Gateway working and set a destination for New York.

"Guys, I've got the Gateway working! We ready to go?" Tails asked everyone present.

As all ponies, mobians, and humans present nodded, Sonic, Twilight, and Peter looked at one another as Rainbow Dash flew over towards the Gateway.

"You two ready for this?" Twilight asked.

"Ready as I'll ever be," Sonic replied.

"Well, we're practically marching towards our deaths. So it's just a normal week in my life, but first, we have to pick up a few friends. Need all the help we can get, right?" replied the web slinger.

Twilight then nodded as she and the rest of her friends marched towards the Gateway.

"Let's do it."

As Hulk and Thor bashed into The Sinister Egg Core, the three villains were quick at work with repairs.

"....Your faults! Now I've got to undo all my brilliant sabotaging so we'll all survive this!!! Exchange relay B and C. That will stop the confusion in the 'Battle' and 'Chase' programs!" Eggman complained as he fixed the wires in his console.

"OUR FAULT?!" Otto and Sombra shouted in unison.

"If YOU weren't so crazy, I wouldn't need to resort to sabotage OR last second repairs!" Sombra shouted as used his magic to repair his defenses.

"If you fools weren't so arrogant then none of this would have happened!!!" Otto shouted as he used his tentacles to type in some code to fix the issues on his end.

"You need to take the circuit board marked 'M.B.M' and put it in slot 1. The other board is just a dummy!" Sombra explained.

Eggman gritted his teeth, "You devious little...."

"Loan me one of your lackey bots!" Otto ordered.

"I'M NOT SHARING MY STUFF WITH YOU ANYMORE!!!"

Sombra looked confused, "I didn't even know they were here."

Orbot and Cubot popped out from behind Eggman's throne and waved.

Iron Man then fired a Unibeam blast from his chest that sent the mech falling to the ground.

Eggman looked panicked, "Reboot. Reboot. REBOOT!!!"

Otto had sweat falling from his forehead, "Keep us steady! I've almost got us back online!"

Sombra squealed as he saw Hulk leap towards them, "ANY DAY NOW, OTTO!!!"

"SHUT UP! Full system restore---NOW!!!"

As Hulk was about to hit the mech, one of its many tentacles grabbed him and swung him into a building. Iron Man and Thor flew towards the mech, but were pushed back as it released a massive shockwave of dark energy.

"Ahh! Ahh-ha-ha! Self repair systems running at 251%" Informed the egg genius.

"Hahahahaha! AHAHAHAHAHA! We're going to win!!!" Sombra exclaimed.

"Victory is ours!!!" Otto shout triumphantly.

"Haaaa. I'm going to kill you, you traitors!" Eggman threatened gleefully.

"Hahahahaha! Not if I get you first you psycho!" Sombra replied.

Otto stroked his chin and smiled, "Truce until this is done?"

Sombra shrugged, "I guess I have to. Truce?"

Eggman smiled, "Truce."

The mech roared as it released a massive shockwave of dark energy that took apart several buildings. Natasha and Clint both got behind Cap as he raised his shield to protect them while Hulk grabbed Stark and Thor and took the blast head on, protecting them with his body.

Once the shockwave ceased, Hulk landed next to the other Avengers and looked on as The Chimera went offline and fell into the ocean. They then turned around as the mech roared, readying its claws.

"HAH! CHECKMATE!!!" Sombra shouted.

"We win!" Otto exclaimed.

"Soon it will be time to play around in our brand new multiverse!" Eggman smiled as the mech opened its mouth, ready to fire another blast.

(End song)

(Play until 1:59)

But a spark of light caught their eye, a familiar spark they had seen before. A portal opened up behind The Avengers, but not just any portal, a portal from The Gateway in Netherworld. And from the portal, out stepped Prince T'challa, The Black Panther.

Then next to him in a portal of his own creation, stepped out Dr. Strange.

Strange closed his portal as Spider-Man swung out of The Gateway portal and landed next to Cap. Before Cap could say anything, a speedy blue hedgehog zoomed out of the portal and skidded to a stop next to Spidey. Then, to their amazement, an alicorn pony flew out of the portal and landed next on the other side of Spidey.

Then, everyone else stepped out of the portal. Celestia, Starlight, Shadow, Miles, Luna, Tails, Knuckles, The Mane 6, everyone who was present in Netherworld stepped out of the portal to join in the fight.

"Hey, Egghead! Miss us?" Sonic quipped.

The three villains were speechless as the heroes' army walked out of the portal. All of the mind controlled ponies freed from their torture and ready to help out however they can.

Spidey turned to Cap, "Got you some reinforcements. You're welcome."

Cap and the other Avengers were speechless. They could only gawk at the amount of back up they had received.

Eggman however didn't look happy at all.

"Fire everything."

Sombra and Otto looked at him as if he were a madman.

Sombra chuckled nervously, "Surely you jest-"

Eggman slammed his fist down on the console.

"FIRE. EVERYTHING!!!"

As the mech roared, Tony turned to Cap.

"Do the words, Cap."

Cap turned to face his new army of heroes.

"Avengers...."

He turned back around to The Sinister Egg Core and raised his shield into the air and shouted...

"ASSEMBLE!!!!"

Author's Note

Now before anyone says anything, no. These are not the same Avengers as from the Square Enix game.

Notice the absence of Kamala?

I just used their designs and The Chimera.

I also wanted that thing destroyed, go I hate that thing, so I added it in to blow it up.

Also, did you guys catch the Stan Lee cameo?

Anyway, part two of the final battle is up next.

Stay tuned.

Vs. The Sinister Egg Core

"FIRE. EVERYTHING! LAUNCH IT ALL!!!"

The Sinister Egg Core roared a mighty roar as missiles launched from its back and lasers fired from its tentacles. With Captain America leading the charge, with Spidey swinging beside him, the heroes charged forward to finish this fight.

Rainbow Dash got right into action as she flew in the air at high speeds towards the monstrous mech. She turned her head to see Iron Man flying right beside her.

"Y'know, you're pretty fast for a little cartoon horse," Iron Man quipped.

Rainbow arched an eyebrow, "Pretty quick? I'm the FASTEST flyer around!"

"Uh huh."

The Sinister Egg Core roared as it swung one of its many tentacles at the two flyers. Rainbow Dash swooped below the giant appendage while Tony flew over it, firing tiny rockets from his shoulders, damaging the mech slightly. As the mech roared and opened its mouth to fire its mouth laser, Rainbow Dash uppercut it from below, causing the villains inside to lose focus for a moment.

The mech recovered and fired lasers from its tentacles, directed at the streets below. But Thor wasn't going to allow that. As the God of Thunder flew up with Mjolnir gripped firmly, Celestia and Luna flew beside the thunder god.

Thor smirked and then laughed, "COME MY EQUINE ALLIES! LET US BE RID OF THIS MONSTROUS MACHINE!!!"

Luna beamed at that, "LET THIS BATTLE BE DOCUMENTED FOR CENTURIES TO COME!!!"

Sombra snarled, "THE ONLY THING THAT SHALL BE REMEMBERED ON THIS DAY WILL BE MY VICTORY!!!"

The mech raised its tentacles into the air, causing the skies to darken. Suddenly, red lightning shot down from the darkened clouds. Thor nodded to the two alicorn sisters as they split up to avoid getting struck by the bolts of darkness. Thor swung Mjolnir around in a circular motion before releasing it, sending it flying right into the mechs eye, sending it back. Right into Celestia and Luna, who were ready to attack as they both fired beams of magic from their horns, damaging the mech.

Eggman growled in anger, "THAT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN!!!"

The mech roared as it was then surrounded in a dark mist. As Iron Man and Rainbow Dash flew towards the mech, the monstrous machine released a wave of darkness, sending them crashing into a nearby building.

Hulk roared and hit the ground with his hands, "HULK TEAR ROBOT APART!!!"

Applejack walked up beside the green monster, "Ah like the way ya think, big guy."

Knuckled smashed his fists together, "Me too."

Hulk roared and leaped into the air while Knuckles jumped up and glided towards the machine of darkness. Applejack prepared her lasso and readied herself for the right moment.

Hulk leaped through the air and reeled back a fist, only to be stopped mid air, much to his confusion.

Otto laughed, "Oh, Banner. You short sighted fool. With our reactor still functioning, nothing can stop us!!!"

Hulk was then sent flying back to the ground by one of the mechs tentacles.

Eggman eyes the other two villains, "Don't draw too much power from the reactor!"

Sombra and Otto looked confused.

"But the reactor is powered by The Chaos Emeralds! YOU SAID their power was LIMITLESS!!!" Otto replied to the egg shaped man.

Eggman sneered, "POTENTIALLY! My concern is for the Multiversal Reset Wave! At this fragile stage, we don't want--AHH!"

Eggman screamed as Knuckles landed on the eye of the mech, ready to lay into it with a barrage of punches, "You three ready to call it quits? Or do I have to rough you up?"

Otto snarled, "There's no stopping us NOW! Not when we are this close to victory! AWAY WITH YOU!!!"

Just as the mech was about to release another blast of darkness, an explosive arrow hit the mech dead center in the eye, causing it to crack, luckily Knuckles had a good grip otherwise he would have fallen off. The arrow came from none other than Clint Barton, who was stationed on a nearby rooftop.

He smirked, "Heh, I never miss."

Before the villains could react, a grappling hook attached itself to one of the mechs tentacles. Natasha Romanoff, The Black Widow, aimed her wrist directly at the eye and fired an electric taser as she swung off of her grappling hook and rolled to a stop on a building close by.

The mech screeched as the taser did its thing. As Knuckles began laying into the thing, Tails flew up with his twin tails and readied his arm cannon. He fired a shot at one of the mechs tentacles, damaging it, not much, but it gave Sonic the distraction he needed to run up the side of a nearby building and bounce off of it to hit the mech with a Homing Attack.

The villains had had enough of these games and decided to take things up a notch. Knuckles was sent flying through the air thanks to being pushed off by the burst of darkness released by the mech. Applejack swung her lasso and tossed the end of it to Knuckles, who grabbed onto it as Applejack swung the echidna through the air. Once enough momentum was gained, Knuckles let go of the lasso and flew straight towards the mech.

The villains saw this coming and swiped at Knuckles with a tentacle, sending Knuckles to the ground, landing next to a nearby car.

Black Panther readied his claws as Starlight, Trixie, and Rarity stood next to him.

"This monstrosity made of darkness will not endanger anymore lives," said the King of Wakanda.

The three unicorns lit up their horns, casting a spell to hold the mech in place while Black Panther ran towards it, his claws ready.

Omega aimed his guns at The Sinister Egg Core and fired a barrage of bullets and missiles.

"EGGMAN ROBOTS EXTERMINATION IS INEVITABLE!!!"

While Rouge hit the top of the mech with a Spin Kick, Amy jumped off the edge of a building and wacked the mech with her Piko Piko Hammer, giving T'challa the opportunity to jumped off the roof of the car and slash at the tentacles of the giant mech.

While Big and Blaze protected Cream, Cheese, Vanilla, Froggy, Spike, and Fluttershy, Shadow and Miles charged towards the mech with the intent on demolishing it.

Eggman saw this and growled angrily, "THIS IS NOT HOW IT ENDS!!!"

Suddenly, the mech roared as it teleported out of sight. Before anyone could react, six giant wormholes opened up around the heroes. Six giant tentacles shot out of the wormholes, smashing down on the ground and battering some of the heroes down to the ground.

Once that was done, the tentacles re-entered the wormholes as they closed. The mech reappeared in front of all the heroes and roared as a portal of darkness opened behind it. From within the portal, strands of darkness shot out towards the heroes, making it clear that they needed to move and avoid getting hit.

Cap blocked the strand of darkness with his shield while everyone else tried to outmaneuver them. The strands dissipated as The Sinister Egg Core slammed its many tentacles onto the ground, sending waves of dark energy towards the heroes. They were too slow to react as they were all sent back to the end of the street.

Up above, Iron Man boosted downward towards the villains' mechanical monstrosity. His chest lit up as he had The Sinister Egg Core in his sights. Tony then fired a Unibeam blast at the mech, sending it back into the building behind it.

Rainbow looked impressed, "Okay, I'll admit it. THAT was pretty awesome!"

Tony pointed to himself, "Makes sense since I'm the most awesome hero around."

"Well, the spider guy might disagree with you on that."

"Really? Tony looked down to see Spider-Man swinging into action, "HEY PETE! WHEN THIS IS OVER, YOU AND I ARE GONNA HAVE WORDS!"

Peter looked upwards towards the armored avenger, "Noted!"

His Spider-Sense went off as he turned back towards the robot, only to be hit by the tentacle and sent crashing through a window.

"HAH!" Otto cheered.

The villains then turned their sights towards a certain alicorn who was heading right towards them.

Sombra smiled, "Ah, decided to finally join the fight, Twilight? No speech about Friendship?"

Twilight glared at the mech, "We're WAY past that!"

Sombra slammed his hooves down onto his console, "FINALLY, SOMETHING WE AGREE ON!"

Twilight flared her horn and prepared to fire a magic blast.... only for nothing to happen, much to her confusion.

Eggman grinned, "Performance issue?"

Twilight was taken out of her thoughts as a giant tentacle slammed her to the ground.

Suddenly the mech was hit from behind multiple times. This was thanks to Sonic, who was hitting the mech repeatedly with Homing Attacks.

"Fall down. Fall Down. FALL DOWN!" Sonic said as he kept hitting the mech.

As he went for another Homing Attack, he was grabbed by the claws of The Sinister Egg Core and brought up towards its eye.

Eggman beamed at this, "FINALLY! I have you RIGHT in my clutches, hedgehog! This is too good of an opportunity to pass up."

As the mech was about to crush the blue hedgehog, he was suddenly freed from its grasp thanks to a vibranium shield. As Sonic landed on the ground, Captain America stepped forward and pointed at the mech.

"You may destroy our buildings. Break our bones. But we will never fall to you! If we can't save this world, we'll be sure to AVENGE it!" Cap declared as everyone stood behind him, ready to end this.

Otto scoffed, "Feh! Stand together."

"DIE TOGETHER!!!" The three villains shouted in unison.

But just as the mech was about to attack, glowing bands held the mechs tentacles in place.

Everyone then turned to Dr. Strange.

"By the Crimson Band of Cyttorak!!!"

The mech was also engulfed in a cyan aura as Silver held it in place.

"You're not going anywhere!!!"

As the mech struggled to break free, Peter jumped out of the building he crashed into and landed on the ground below with his allies. He then took notice of how damaged his suit was.

"Not good. Can't save the multiverse with everyone seeing my three chest hairs. Not to mention how exposed I am."

Then, a thought occurred to him, "Of course!" he turned to Twilight and Sonic, "SONIC, TWILIGHT!!! I HAVE SOMETHING THAT CAN HELP US!!! IT'S IN MY LAB!!!"

The two looked at one another before realization dawned upon them. They nodded and made their way over.

Peter then turned to Strange, "Strange, we could use your help! Can you get us to my lab?"

Strange nodded, "Of course, my friend."

Peter then turned to Cap, "HOLD THE LINE WHILE WE'RE GONE! WE'RE GONNA BRING SOMETHING TO HELP CHANGE THE TIDE!!!"

Cap nodded, "GO!!! GET WHAT YOU NEED!!! WE'LL HOLD THEM OFF!!!"

Peter then nodded to Dr. Strange, who held his left arm out while he swirled his right arm around, opening a portal to Peter's lab. The four then entered the portal while the other heroes held off The Sinister Egg Core.

(End song)

A portal opened up in Peter's lab as the four heroes stepped out of it. As the portal closed, Sonic turned to Twilight.

"Soooo, can't use your magic, huh?"

Twilight rubbed the back of her head sheepishly as she blushed, "Yeah, I kinda forgot about that."

Peter walked towards his bench, "That's what we're here to fix. Remember our little project we were working on?" the two nodded, "Well, Strange here," he pointed to the Sorcerer Supreme, "Is gonna give our projects a little boost."

"What do you need me to do?" Strange asked.

"Help us destroy their creation, with a little creation of our own."

The heroes fell down to the ground in exhaustion, they weren't gonna throw in the towel just yet, but they were running out of time.

They looked up to The Sinister Egg Core as the villains laughed at their supposed victory.

"All this wasted effort. And for what? Just so you could die knowing that there was nothing you could do to stop us?" Sombra mocked the heroes.

"Soon our new multiverse will be born. But you all won't live to see it!" Eggman threatened.

"THIS IS THE END!!! THE DIE IS CAST!!!" Otto shouted as the mech loomed over the heroes.

(End song)

Suddenly, a portal opened up in front of the mech. Before the villains could react, a blue and silver blur burst through and hit them dead center in the eye, sending them back down the street.

The heroes watched on as Dr. Strange stepped out of the portal, but he was not alone.

First, out stepped Peter Parker. But he looked different. He was wearing a new suit. One to wear in the final battle. An armor fit for the final showdown. As he clenched his right fist, he touched the side of his head with his left hand, making sure his lenses were working as they squinted.

It was then that they all got a good look at Peter's new suit.

Peter turned to his left as someone else stepped out of the portal. Or rather, somepony else.

Yes, Twilight had gained some new attire. As the alicorn smirked, she flared her wings out as the lights on her suit lit up, as did her horn. Her suit was powered by artificial magic, thanks to Peter and Dr. Strange. As the alicorn princess turned to the group of heroes, they saw what what she was wearing.

"WOOOHOOOO!!!"

As the shout made itself known, all the heroes looked upwards to see a certain hedgehog flip through the air and land next to Peter's right. Sonic had gained an upgrade as well as the sun shined off of the silver on his body, slightly blinding their eyes.

Sonic smirked as they all saw what he was wearing.

As the green gem on his forehead glowed, he was engulfed in a green flaming aura, boosting his speed thanks to Dr. Strange.

The three heroes glared at their adversaries as the mech roared at them.

"Looks like the rabble got some upgrades," Sombra observed.

"It won't help them," Otto declared.

"Not. One. Bit." Eggman finished.

As the mech roared, Sonic turned to the exhausted heroes, "You guys take a break and tag in when you're ready," he turned back to The Sinister Egg Core, "we got a score to settle with these guys."

Sonic looked determined, "For Mobius."

Peter clenched his fists, "For Earth."

Twilight flared her horn, "For Equestria."

"FOR THE MULTIVERSE!" The heroes shouted in unison.

"BURN! BURN TO ASHES!!! BOW TO YOUR NEW MONARCHS!!!" The villains shouted as The Sinister Egg Core roared.

(End song)

The mech sent one of its giant tentacles towards the heroes, causing them to split up. Peter ran forward and jumped onto the mechanical tentacle. The villains saw this and swiped another one at Peter as he ran up the tentacle, but the web head saw this coming and flipped over the approaching tentacle. He then shot a line of web at the eye of the mech and Web Zipped towards it. Peter reeled back a punch and then delivered a nasty blow to the eye of the mech, causing it to crack more as it was sent back into a nearby building.

As the mech tried to recover, Sonic, who was engulfed in a fiery green aura, ran on the side of the building and bounced off of it, putting him in the perfect position to attack. Sonic curled up into a ball and began charging up a Spin Dash. As the mech roared, Sonic shot forward and hit the mech dead set in its eye, sending it through the building and crashing down on the road.

As the mech tried to get back up, Twilight flew over and fired a beam from her horn, to which the mech responded with a beam of its own. When the two beams collided, The Sinister Egg Core was sent flying down the road while Twilight stumbled a little but recovered mid flight.

The mech roared as it took flight once again. Twilight smirked and flew forward at high speeds towards the mech.

"She's still coming!!!" Otto exclaimed.

"EVASIVE MANOEUVRES!!!!" Eggman shouted.

The mech roared as it teleported away as Twilight approached.

Before she could react, a giant tentacle smacked her to the ground. Sonic saw this and boosted forward to help his friend....only to be grabbed by one of its claws and smashed down onto the road below. As the villains laughed, their vision was suddenly covered by webbing.

While they were distracted, Peter let go of the webbing he was swinging on and kicked the mech straight in its eye, sending it down to the ground.

The mech used one of its claws to tear off the webbing. The mech then released a burst of darkness, sending the heroes back. As the mech rose, so did the other heroes.

Cap turned to his allies, "This is it. Give it everything you've got!!!"

Everyone nodded as they charged forward to finish this once and for all.

"IMBECILES!!! WE ARE INVINCIBLE!!!" The villains shouted as the mech roared.

The heroes that could fly took to the air and provided cover fire as the ground team approached. Hulk roared as he leapt into the air and grabbed one of the mechs tentacles. The mech was too distracted by the likes of Celestia, Luna, Thor, Tails, Rainbow Dash, and Iron Man as they kept it busy while Hulk got to work.

Before Hulk landed on the ground, he used his mighty strength to swing the mech around in a circular motion and threw it to the ground to give the ground team some of the action. All the unicorns flared up their horns and fired beams of magic while the likes of Knuckles, Applejack, Blaze, Shining Armor, Black Panther, and more got up close and personal with the mech and laid into it.

Cap threw his mighty shield as Sonic hit the mech from multiple angles with several Homing Attacks, damaging the mech severely. The villains had had enough and pushed them all back with a swipe of one of its tentacles. As they were rising, Hulk wasn't going to let them go anywhere and grabbed hold of one of its massive tentacles.

With a mighty and beastly roar, Hulk tore off one of the mechs massive limbs, causing strands of darkness to seep out of where the tentacle used to be. Before they could recover, Hulk hit the mech with the tentacle, sending them flying through the air.

The mech was severely damaged, the villains looked panicked. But Eggman looked at his console and smiled.

"Well, this has been delightful. But I'm afraid that this little game of our ends now. TIME TO START AGAIN!!!"

Eggman slammed his fist onto a giant big blinking red button, causing the mech to roar as it was engulfed in a flaming rainbow aura. The sky started to become distorted as the mech began charging up the Multiversal Reset Wave.

The heroes looked on in terror as everything was about to be reset.

"WELL?! ANYPONY GOT AN BRIGHT IDEAS?!" Discord asked, genuinely afraid.

Sonic then pondered for a moment before coming up with an idea.

"If I can pierce through its eye and tear through the mech, it might shut it down for good!"

Iron Man then crossed his arms, "But the amount of power you'll need to pierce through it.... We don't have that kind of power!"

Strange's eyes then widened as he turned to the other heroes, "HEROES! LEND MORE YOUR STRENGTH! I WILL CHANNEL IT INTO HIM!!!"

Before anyone could question him, Sonic was suddenly hovering in the air as an orange symbol appeared beneath the heroes' feet. As Strange did his thing, orange strands of energy seeped out of the heroes' bodies and made their way into Sonic.

Sonic felt the power surging through him as he closed his eyes tightly. Once he opened them again, they were a bright blue as his armor spread across all of his body, covering it. Then, something else formed on his body, something familiar to the ponies.

Their eyes widened as they saw none other than the Elements of Harmony appear on Sonic's body.

Celestia smiled, "It appears that the Tree of Harmony is still with us."

The villains saw this and their eyes widened in terror.

Eggman had a deadpanned look on his face, "I hate those ponies."

Otto pointed a finger towards the hedgehog, "Oh don't you dare...."

Sombra looked terrified, "AHHHH!!! ABANDON SHIP!!! EJECT! EJECT!!!"

Otto turned to Eggman, "WELL?! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?! DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT HEDGEHOG YOU LAZY....!"

Eggman slammed his fist down in anger, "HOW ABOUT YOU DO SOMETHING ABOUT THOSE HEROES DOWN THERE FOR ONCE IN YOU LIFE!!"

Sonic smirked, "Well, looks like it's game over, boys! You travelled across dimensions and still came up short! You know, you three didn't count on one thing."

Twilight stepped forward, "You didn't count on the friendships we would make on this adventure!"

Peter stepped beside Twilight, "You three brought us together! And that was your downfall!!!"

Eggman glared with hatred, "IT'S NOT OVER YET!!! I'LL STILL ERASE YOU ALL FROM REALITY!!! BURN TO CINDERS!!!"

The mech fired a massive blast from its mouth as Sonic curled up into a ball and shot forward and collided with the beam, easily overpowering it.

"HE'S OVERPOWERING US!!!" Sombra shouted in worry.

"THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!!! OUR POWER IS SUPPOSED TO BE LIMITLESS!!!" Otto added.

Eggman clenched his fists, "I. HATE. THAT. HEDGEHOG!!!!"

Once Sonic made it to the mech, he tore through the mech through its eye, but he wasn't done yet. He tore through it from the left, and the right, he tore through it from multiple directions, making sure it would stay down for good.

"AHHH! SYSTEM OVERLOAD!!!" Sombra screeched in terror.

"NONONONONONONO!!!" Otto panicked.

Sonic then hovered in front of the robot and curled into a ball one last time.

"GAME OVER, BOYS!!!"

Sonic then shot through the mech and pierced through its reactor. Once Sonic pierced through the other side of the mech, it began to explode.

"NOOOOOOOO!!!!! CURSE. YOU!!!!!"

The Sinister Egg Core exploded in a blaze of glory as Sonic shot downwards and landed on the ground in a superhero landing pose as the mech crashed down onto the ground in a fiery heap of machinery, ending this battle once and for all.

As Sonic depowered, Twilight flew up to him and tackled him in an embrace, laughing happily at their victory.

(End song)

"WE DID IT!!! HAHAHA!!! WE DID IT! WE WON!!" Twilight shouted happily.

Everyone present cheered in victory. Thor raised Mjolnir into the air and shot lightning into the sky in victory. Shadow even cracked a smile as he crossed his arms.

As Sonic and Twilight's friends rushed over, the three villains inside the now destroyed Sinister Egg Core were coughing as smoke entered their lungs.

However, Eggman was not happy. In fact, he was absolutely livid.

"RRRRGH! No-No-NO! We had them. RIGHT in our grasp!!! Victory was finally mine!!! How could this happen!!!"

Sombra sighed in defeat, "Then... That's it..... We lost. We crossed dimensions, tried to rewrite reality, altered time and space and..... and... That's it.... All for nothing."

Eggman wasn't having it though, as he got his console back online and started tinkering with it, "It's not ending like this!"

Otto shook his head in disapproval, "Ivo, it's over. I know it's a challenge for you, but show a LITTLE grace and dignity."

Eggman had heard enough as he pulled a secret lever underneath his chair, ejecting Otto and Sombra's seats out of the cockpit.

"IVO!!!" They both shouted as they were launched into the sky.

The cockpit of the mech then hovered into the air as the canisters on the mechs back started to glow.

"I. WON'T. LOSE. LIKE THIS!!!"

The heroes then turned around to see Eggman inside the cockpit of The Sinister Egg Core rising up into the air. The canisters on the mech started glowing brightly.

Iron Man took a scan of the mech, "Uh, guys. Hate to ruin the mood, but those canisters are overloading!"

Tails looked fearful, "The Elements magic, he's overloading them!"

Shadow clenched his fist, "And with The Chaos Emeralds as well. If that thing explodes...."

"This dimension's done for."

Sonic stepped forward and pointed at Eggman, "EGGMAN, CUT IT OUT, YA NUT!!!"

Eggman growled angrily, "IF I CAN'T HAVE THE UNIVERSE MY WAY, THEN YOU WON'T HAVE IT AT ALL!!!"

As the canisters glowed, they started to crack open. It was then that Tony got a familiar energy signature pop up on his hud.

"Wait a second.... Is that?"

"HAH! I WIN, HEDGEHOG!!! I. WIN!!!"

(End song)

But suddenly, the canisters stopped glowing, much to everyone's confusion.

"Wait. What?" Eggman questioned.

Suddenly the canisters exploded, causing the mech to lose all of its remaining power.

"Why me?" Eggman said in a deadpanned look before the mech fell down to the ground below, "AHHHHHHHH!!!"

As the cockpit crashed down onto the ground, the magic of the Elements started to swirl around in a storm. But inside the storm, something was forming.

Iron Man crossed his arms, "Huh? So that's where we sent them."

Inside the storm of magic, were six stones.

The storm disappeared and the pebbles fell to the ground in front of the heroes. The Mane 6 rushed over to the stones and looked on in confusion.

"WHAT THE HAY?!" Rainbow shouted.

"What happened to the Elements magic?" Rarity asked.

Iron Man then approached the mares and knelt down, looking at the stones on the floor.

"Ladies and gentlemen," he turned to the ponies, "Ponies...." he turned to the Mobians, "Anthro's...." he then turned his gaze to the six stones before him.

"Say hello to the Infinity Stones."

Author's Note

BOOM!!!

Turns out The Elements were none other than the six Infinity Stones this WHOLE time!!!

Time to wrap everything up in a nice little bow in the final chapter of this story.

Thank you to everyone for sticking by this adventure.

This has been an experience.

Stay tuned for the finale.

Look Beyond The Horizons

It's been a few days since The Sinister Egg Core was destroyed. Otto Octavius was sent back to The Raft, Eggman and Sombra however, since they committed these crimes on Earth, their punishment falls into S.H.I.E.L.D's jurisdiction. The two villains were sent to The Vault, where the baddest of the bad go.

It's safe to say that the heroes wouldn't be hearing from either Eggman or Sombra for a while.

Since The Chimera was destroyed, The Avengers had to reset up shop in an old S.H.I.E.L.D facility. At this moment, the Mobians, Humans, and Ponies were getting to know one another before they had to say goodbye. With the magic and Chaos Energy returned to its occupants, all that was left was to seal away the Infinity Stones for safe keeping.

This was being handled by Tony Stark and Miles Prower.

As the stones were placed in a protective barrier, Tony looked down towards Tails and smiled.

"You know, for a kid your age, your pretty smart. Whenever you come back, feel free to visit Stark Industries. I can show you the ropes and what not."

Tails' eyes widened as he shook Tony's hand in anticipation.

From a distance, Captain Steve Rogers was watching along side Celestia, both of them smiling.

"Thank you."

Celestia turned to the captain as she arched an eyebrow.

"For coming to our aid when we needed it. If it wasn't for you and your friends, things might have turned out differently."

Celestia giggled, "Think nothing of it, Captain. Sombra is our problem, it only made sense for us to help you clean up our mess."

Steve nodded at that and crossed his arms, "You know, when I was first melted out of that ice, I never thought that I'd make friends with talking animals and ponies. Life is strange sometimes."

"That much is true. But it is thanks to the friendships forged that we were able to overcome the evil that threatened us."

Steve smiled and turned to Celestia, "I just hope that our three worlds can cooperate and make peace."

Shadow then approached them, "I can't believe that I'm about to say this. But I have faith in The Faker and Princess Twilight that everything will be as it is meant to be."

Celestia looked deviously at Shadow, "What's this? Finally opening up?"

Shadow actually cracked a smirk, "Don't push it, Celestia. Now that the threat has been dealt with, G.U.N and S.H.I.E.L.D are trying to make relations with one another, to make sure nothing like this ever happens again."

Steve chuckled as he rolled his eyes, "Heh. Wonder how that's going."

Celestia flared her wings and smiled, "But enough about politics. Our worlds are now aware of each others existence. Now with the new friendships that have been forged, a new era has dawned upon us. An era of unity! I only hope that good things await us beyond the horizon."

Both of them nodded in response. Even thought right now the future was uncertain, they all had a feeling that everything would work out the way it was supposed to.

A set of flowers was set down in front of tombstones. These tombstones belonged to May Parker and Ben Parker.

Peter knelt down and touched both headstones with his hands.

As a tear fell down his face, he felt the comforting presence of both Twilight and Sonic the hedgehog. Sonic placed a hand on his friend's shoulder while Twilight rubbed her eyes with her hoof.

Peter smiled slightly, "Thank you. The both of you."

His two friends smiled in response.

"Think nothing of it, Pete. Knowing what you've been through, I can honestly say that you are one of the strongest people I know. Life may knock you down, but you always get back up on your feet. You live your life making the world, no scratch that, WORLDS safer for others. I can say with full confidence that your aunt and uncle would be proud of the man you are," said the blue hedgehog.

Twilight smiled, "He's right, Peter. You are one of the best people I know. You represent everything that is good in the world. You offer protection, hope. You're a hero, and Jameson is CRAZY to think otherwise. And I'm proud to call you my friend."

She then turned to Sonic, "And you as well, Sonic. And I'm so sorry that I thought otherwise."

Sonic then gave the alicorn a kind smile, "Twi, no matter how long it takes, I'm going to make it up to you. Us three, we've been through thick and thin. We always have each others backs. No matter what."

Peter chuckled and stood up, "Well said, needlemouse."

Sonic stuck his tongue out in response.

"Now that Otto and his buddies are locked up, I could use a vacation." Peter stated.

Twilight arched an eyebrow, "I'm still confused as to how these 'Infinity Stones' ended up in our world. Let alone became the Elements magic."

Pete crossed his arms, "A few years back, an intergalactic threat gathered the stones and wiped out half of the universe. From what I was told by Tony, once that threat was beaten, they found out that the stones don't work in other realities. So they decided to send them away so nobody could get their hands on them again."

"So they ended up on Equis. Where presumably, the Tree of Harmony found them and broke them down into nothing but their power. Which was then turned into the magic of the Elements!" Twilight surmised.

Sonic smirked, "That's as good a theory as any."

Peter looked concerned, "Twilight, you still got your magic, right?"

Twilight nodded, "Yeah, but without the stones to amplify it, my magic won't be as strong as it used to be. Something I'll have to get used to I guess."

Peter placed a hand on her shoulder, "Well, if you or your friends are ever in need of help. Gimme a call and I'll swing on by."

Sonic then placed a hand on her other shoulder, "Same with me, except I'll run there. Much quicker than swinging."

Peter playfully punched Sonic's shoulder in response.

Twilight had tears in her eyes as she tackled both of them into a bone crushing hug. To which the other returned.

(End song)

As the sun set in the distance, the three friends broke out of the hug and watched the sun go down together. The future right now may be uncertain. But if there is ever a problem that needs quick feet, lessons in friendship, or the help of a certain wall crawler. Just know that help.....

Is always beyond the horizon.

On board the Sanctuary II, Ebony Maw enters the throne room of his master and kneels before him with an evil grin on his face.

"Master. After all these years. They have been located. Their energy signature has returned. The stones have returned to this dimension."

His master stood up from his throne, clenching his golden fist.

Maw grinned, "It is time...... To court death."

The Mad Titan smiled.

HORIZONS

(End song)

It was a peaceful day in Station Square, Mobians were going about their daily lives. Shopping, socialising, living the dream.

That is until an explosion erupted in the centre of the street, resulting in the flipping of multiple cars. From the smoke caused by the explosion, a blue hedgehog was thrown out of the smoke and crash landed into the side of a nearby building. Sonic shook his head and glared at what threw him.

From within the smoke, a giant Eggman looking robot walked out slowly from the smoke.

Sonic removed himself from the wall of the building and dusted himself off.

Eggman simply laughed at the blue hedgehog, "OH HO HO HO HO HO HO!!! Oh Eggman, you genius! Who would've expected a Death Egg Robot?"

"Uh, everybody. This is like the fifth time you've used it." Sonic replied while shrugging.

Eggman arched an eyebrow, "Wait, really? How did the others go?"

"Not well."

"Grrr. WELL THIS TIME, IT WILL NOT FAIL!!!" Eggman shouted as he fired the Death Egg Robots left fist at the hedgehog.

Sonic smirked and dashed forward and curled into a spin dash, hitting the fist back into Eggman's robot, causing it to stumble.

"You little..."

The fist reconnected and the mech then flew up into the air and aimed for Sonic, who just stood there and yawned in boredom.

"PREPARE TO BECOME A STAIN ON THE PAVEMENT, HEDGEHOG!!!" Eggman shouted.

The mech then fell to the ground, attempting to hit Sonic, but Sonic smirked and dashed out of the way as the mach landed on the ground, creating a crater where Eggman landed.

Eggman turned and noticed Sonic leaning against a lamp post with his arms crossed.

"So, how's the fifth attempt at destroying me with this thing going?" Sonic asked in a tone that just made Eggman's blood boil.

"Don't get cocky, hedgehog!!!" Eggman yelled.

The mech walked forward and fired both of its wrists at the same time, Sonic wasn't worried though. He dashed forward and jumped onto the left fist and air dashed to the right, he then bounced off of the right fist and leaped into the air.

Eggman saw this and facepalmed himself, "Oh, give me a break."

Sonic then curled into a ball and hit the mech with a Homing Attack that went straight through the mech's chest. Sonic landed on the other side of the mech and turned around as it began to explode. The Death Egg Robot exploded in a blaze of glory, ending this battle.

(End song)

Sonic looked up to the sky, already knowing that Eggman had escaped the explosion in his Egg Mobile. Suddenly, a crowd of people swarmed around the blue blur, several Mobians asking for a picture and for autographs.

Eggman growled as Sonic began to show off to the crowd.

"NO-ONE LIKES A SHOW OFF, SONIC!!!" Eggman yelled as he flew away in his Egg Mobile.

Sonic just stuck his tongue out as Eggman flew away. He then turned to the crowd once more and continued to entertain them.

"My life is perfect." Sonic said to himself.

"MY LIFE IS STRESSFUL!!!" Twilight Sparkle shouted so loudly that her voice echoed throughout the halls of Canterlot Castle.

Twilight had just finished up in a council meeting with every kingdom in Equestria. Even though it was meant to be a civil meeting, it erupted into a screaming match in a matter of minutes, which Twilight had to defuse, with great difficulty. She sighed as she roamed the halls of her castle.

For some reason, it still didn't feel like her castle. She still didn't feel like she fit the role of Princess of Equestria. Even after dealing with the greatest threat Equestria had ever faced, Dr. Eggman, which saved not only her world, but a whole other world as well.

She looked to the ground in remembrance, "Sonic, Tails." She said to herself sadly. It had already been a full year since they all stopped Eggman from rewriting reality, it had been a full year since Twilight saw her Mobian friends. And she missed them, boy did she miss them.

Sure she would see her friends from Ponyville from time to time, but even their visits became less and less frequent nowadays. She understood why though, they each had their own lives to live, and she had to respect that. It still didn't help that she was already feeling lonely.

"Is this what Luna felt like after being trapped in the moon for a thousand years? Sure I may have Spike and my guards to talk to, but I can't really talk to them. *Sigh* I miss hanging out with my friends. I miss going on adventures to save Equestria. I miss..... I miss being normal." Twilight sighed in sadness. Suddenly her eyes opened up in realisation. Was she starting to regret accepting being the Princess of Equestria?

She continued down the hall and thought to herself further. She didn't hate being the Princess, but she didn't exactly enjoy it either. She glanced up towards the stain glass windows that lead to her throne room, she stared at them for a moment before tears burned the bridge of her eyes.

She then sighed and continued walking.

"My life is lonely." Twilight muttered sadly.

"My life is really weird."

The Spectacular Spider-Man did a flip through the air and stuck to the side of a building as the car full of gangster's drove down the street at high speeds. Peter then leaped off of the building and fired some webbing and swung through the air towards the car.

A gangster in the back seat of the car turned around and saw Spidey swinging towards them. The gangster picked up a rocket launcher from the floor of the car and leaned out of the car window.

Peter's Spider Sense went off as the gangster fired the rocket launcher. Peter thought quickly and web dashed to the left to avoid the rocket. He then turned around as the rocket passed him and shot a line of web at the rocket. He then swung it around and threw it up into the sky as it exploded.

Peter then shot a line of web at a nearby building and swung towards the car. Once he was close enough, he shot a line of web at the car and pulled himself towards the car and landed on the roof.

The back seat goon saw this and leaned out the window to try and shoot the wall crawler, but Spidey webbed him in the face and threw him out of the car. Spidey created a web net above the sidewalk and the goon landed in the net.

Peter then crawled to the driver's seat window and knocked on the window.

"Can I have your license and registration, please?" Peter joked.

He then flipped over to the front of the car and planted his feet on the ground and pushed the car to a stop thanks to his enhanced strength. With the car stopped in the middle of the road, the goon tried to make a run for it. Spider-Man sighed and shot a web line at the goons back. Peter pulled the goon back and punched him in the face as he flew towards the wall crawler.

Peter then webbed up the goon and left him for the police as they arrived on the scene. He then swung into the air and landed on a nearby building. He then called Mary Jane to tell her his progress.

"MJ, Kingpin's gun running business is now officially out of business." Peter said happily.

"That's great, Pete! Each time we put a stop to criminal activity, we come one step closer to keeping New York completely clean of crime." MJ replied.

"And with Miles now helping out, it's made my job a whole lot easier." Peter said.

Suddenly, Peter got an alert on the police towers connected to his mask, there was a break in nearby.

"Gotta go, MJ. Talk soon." Peter said as he hung up.

He then ran to the edge of the building and leaped off of it and swung further into the city.

(End song)

Back on Mobius, Eggman flew up into the stormy skies and made his way into his Final Fortress.

He flew his Egg Mobile into the command deck of the Final Fortress and landed. He exited his Egg Mobile and walked over to a nearby computer console and began typing.

The doors leading into the command deck opened up and Orbot and Cubot hovered in and floated next to their boss.

"So? How did it go?" Orbot asked.

Eggman smiled and chuckled evilly, "It went perfectly. I got that Emerald without a hitch! Although, Sonic did manage to destroy my Death Egg Robot, but I digress." Eggman said as he revealed a red Chaos Emerald that he had in his pocket to his two lackeys.

"Wow, you actually did it." Cubot commented.

Eggman frowned at the idiotic robot, "What do you mean 'I actually did it'?! Of course I did it!!! I am Ivo Robotnik!!! I always get what I want!!!"

"Except for ruling Mobius. Rewriting time with your younger self. Controlling the Zeti. Controlling the Phantom Ruby. Controlling Dark Gaia. Ruling Equis-" Cubot listed but was then cut off by Eggman.

"ALRIGHT, I GET IT!!!" Eggman shouted.

Eggman then released a breath and then placed the Emerald in the slot it would fit into on the console. Eggman then turned around as a glass cylinder rose from the floor, containing a small rift in reality, the same rift Eggman used to get to Equis the first time.

"Now that I have the Emerald, I can now use it for my master plan." Eggman said.

"But don't you need all seven Chaos Emeralds to pass through the rift safely?" Orbot asked.

"Very astute, Orbot. That's why you're the smart one." He gestured to Cubot. "I recently found a way to use one Emerald to my advantage. I thought to myself, why go over there to take the power I so rightfully deserve. When I can just bring it here? I'll use the Emerald to charge up my Matter Transporter and bring the bearers of the Elements right into the palm of my hand!"

Eggman then walked over to a big blinking red button and smiled.

"This time, my plan won't fail!!!" Eggman shouted as he slammed his fist down on the button.

The cylinder began to glow red as a claw like gun descended from the ceiling and aimed itself at the cylinder. The gun began charging up as the cylinder continued to glow red. Suddenly, the rift changed colour and became blood red instead of blue. Alarms began blaring throughout the Final Fortress as the rift became unstable.

"No! Nonononononono!!! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!!! IT'S BACKFIRING!!! IMPOSSIBLE!!! HOW?!!!" Eggman shouted as the rift then exploded, engulfing Eggman and his lackeys in a red light.

Meanwhile in New York, specifically The Raft. Doctor Otto Octavius was sitting inside his cell, thinking about what he would do once he got out of The Raft. He sighed, he felt naked without his arms. He placed his hands on his forehead, how could Peter betray him like that?

Otto stood up angrily and slammed his fists onto his cell door and screamed in frustration. He then calmed down and sat back down. Suddenly, his cell was engulfed in a red light, also engulfing Otto. And he disappeared.

Eggman woke up to find himself in a black void, nothing in sight except darkness. He looked to the left and saw Orbot and Cubot looking around at their surroundings.

Eggman then smacked Cubot on the back of the head, "Where are we, you dumbbots?!"

"I was about to ask you the same thing."

Eggman and his lackeys turned to see Otto Octavius standing there with his arms crossed. Eggman stood up and dusted himself off.

"And who might you be?" Eggman asked impatiently.

"Dr. Otto Octavius, at your service. And you are good sir?" Otto introduced politely.

Eggman smiled, a fellow genius, this could be interesting, "Dr. Ivo Robotnik." Eggman said, extending his hand, which Otto took and shook.

They released and looked around, "I don't suppose you know where we are?" Otto asked.

"Not a clue." Eggman replied.

"Well, this is a surprise." A voice caught their attention.

They all turned around and saw a black stallion standing behind them with an evil smile on his face. It was none other than King Sombra.

"I thought I'd be alone here forever." Sombra said.

The two geniuses looked at each other, confused as to what was happening.

"Why don't you both sit. And let your king fill you in. Hahahahahaha." Sombra laughed evilly.

Author's Note

Welcome to the sequel to Chaos & Harmony.

But what's this? Seems like a certain wall crawling menace has joined the fun.

I decided to can Icons of Horror, I just wasn't motivated to continue that story.

Anyway, sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride.

Stay tuned.

(Warning: There may be some use of light profanity further down in the story, nothing major, but just thought I'd let you know.)

Vs. Mr. Negative & Master Zik

Sonic dashed through a horde of Badniks with his super speed as he made his way through Metropolis. Sonic leaped off of the edge of the roof he was running on and curled into a ball. He then dashed towards the nearest building and uncurled. He then used his super speed to run up the side of the building, dodging incoming blasts from the Buzz Bombers currently flying after the speedy blue hedgehog.

Sonic ran onto the roof and skidded to a stop. He clenched his fists and was about to launch himself at the enemy Badniks. But suddenly, the Buzz Bombers were incased in a violet aura and were slammed to the roof, destroying them and freeing the Flickies trapped inside the robots.

Sonic looked up and saw Twilight flapping her wings in the air, giving the hedgehog a kind smile, to which Sonic returned.

"Woo, nothing like running through a city that was made to kill you to get the blood pumping!" Sonic exclaimed as he stretched his arms out.

Twilight rolled her eyes at her friends antics. Sonic then got into a crouched position and took off at high speeds, launching himself off the building.

Twilight sighed in annoyance, "That hedgehog is going to get himself killed one of these days."

Meanwhile on the streets of Metropolis, Shadow was skating through the streets, narrowly avoiding the incoming projectiles from the two E - 1008 Falco models that were flying after him.

Shadow boosted forward to try and get some distance between the robots and himself. The Falco's boosted forward, firing blasts at the hedgehog from within their mouths. Suddenly, one of them were hit from behind by a green flame, Spike had been flying after them this entire time.

One of the robots did a U- turn and prepared to fire a blast and the young dragon. Shadow, thinking quickly, teleported to where Spike was and hit the robot in the head with a roundhouse kick, sending the robot into the side of a nearby building, exploding on impact.

As Shadow landed, he looked up to see the other Falco approaching him and Spike at high velocity. Shadow smirked and stood up, his hand crackling with yellow electricity.

"CHAOS SPEAR!"

Shadow threw a Chaos Spear at the approaching robot. The Falco barely had time to react, resulting in the robot being blasted into pieces on impact. Shadow turned towards Spike, who's jaw practically hit the floor.

"THAT. WAS. AWESOME!!!" Spike exclaimed excitedly.

Shadow gave him a slight smirk and lifted his wrist communicator towards his face.

"Parker. This is Shadow. Have you located the Emerald yet?"

Suddenly, an explosion of negative energy made itself known, originating from a building a few blocks away. Shadow turned to Spike, who gave the Ultimate Lifeform a deadpanned look.

"That answer your question?"

Shadow nodded, "And it appears that Parker isn't the only one to have found the Emerald," Shadow then entered a starting position, "LET'S GO!!!"

Shadow then took off at high speeds with Spike trailing behind him.

(End song)

Peter flipped through the air and stuck himself to the side of a nearby wall. He glared at Mr. Negative, who was charging up another negative blast from his hands.

Peter then tapped his ear with his index finger, "Guys, just FYI, Miles and I found the Emerald, but Martin Li and an elderly Smurf Pokémon reject are here too," he was suddenly interrupted by Mr. Negative as the villain fired another blast of negative energy from his hands, causing Peter to leap from the wall and land on the roof to avoid the blast, "So, a little help would be nice guys!"

Peter then web zipped over towards the villain and tried to punch him in the face, but Martin released a burst of negative energy, sending the hero flying back and landing harshly on the ground.

Martin then pointed his sword at Spider-Man, "You don't get it! Osborn is a manipulative parasite that needs to be cleansed! He needs to pay!!!"

Peter got back up to his feet, "But this isn't the way, Martin! I mean, helping those three whack jobs take over the multiverse? You're willing to throw away the freedom of every living being in the multiverse just for revenge?"

Li shook his head, "You wouldn't understand."

Martin then leapt into the air and slashed his sword downwards to try and hit the spider hero. Peter rolled out of the way and quickly shot two lines of web at Martin's feet and pulled him to the floor. Peter then ran forward, shooting webbing from his web shooters as he ran.

Unfortunately, Li wasn't in the mood for games as he yelled a mighty roar and released a burst of negative energy from within himself, destroying the webbing and sending Peter flying off of the roof. Peter, thinking quickly, shot a line of web and swung around the building and jumped back onto the roof.

The villain growled in anger as Peter entered a crouched position and glared at the negative villain. Martin then slashed his sword, sending waves of negative energy hurdling towards Peter. Spidey jumped off of the ground and web zipped towards Mr. Negative, punching the villain in the face once he was close enough.

Martin stumbled back and rubbed his chin, all the while glaring at Parker with an angry look in his eyes. Martin then punched the ground with his fist, creating a dome of negative energy that encased the entire roof. As Peter looked at his surroundings, Martin transformed into a massive Shadow Demon and roared at the friendly neighbor hood hero.

Peter slumped forward in annoyance, "Ugh, seriously? This thing again?"

Li then slammed his massive hand onto the ground in an attempt to hit Peter, but Spidey swung away just in time. Martin turned as Peter swung around him, the demon roared and aimed his right hand at the web slinger.

"Uh oh."

Martin fired a massive negative blast from his hand. Peter let go of his webbing and flipped at just the right angle and avoided the massive blast, barely though. Just as he thought the danger was over, his Spider Sense went off as he flipped through the air.

He was suddenly grabbed by Martin's other hand and slammed to the ground.

"Ugh, grabby much?"

Martin raised his left fist and prepared to squash the hero, but suddenly, he felt something tear through the back of his head. The demon stopped dead in its tracks as its face blasted apart. Shadow had tore through the demon's head and hit the real Martin Li right out of the demon.

Martin landed harshly on the ground as the demon roared in pain. The demon and the dome then disappeared as Shadow landed on the ground. Shadow turned to Peter as he was getting back on his feet. They then both turned to Martin as he got back to his feet and fired a blast of energy directly at the heroes.

(End song)

Miles swung through the giant city chasing after the old Zeti, who was leaping from building to building with an Emerald in his hand. Miles then web zipped over towards Zik and tried to grab the elderly Zeti, but the master was ready for such an attack and quickly turned around and used his psychokinetic ability to push Miles away from him.

Miles quickly recovered and swung after the Zeti.

"Seriously? How can someone that old and small be that fast?"

Miles then ran on the side of a nearby building, continuing to give chase. Zik then landed on a nearby rooftop and turned around to see Miles land on the roof in a crouched position.

Zik closed his eyes and chuckled at the young hero, "You have potential, young one," he then opened his eyes, "But you lack discipline."

Miles then charged at the villain, to which Zik responded by jumping right over the hero and landing behind him. He then used his powers send a shockwave towards Miles, which would have sent the hero flying off of the building had it not been for his Spider Sense which alerted him of the attack. Miles leaped into the air and quickly shot webbing at Zik's eyes, which blinded the old Zeti.

Miles then web zipped towards Master Zik and kicked him in the face, sending him flying across the roof and releasing the Emerald from his grasp. Miles grabbed the Emerald with a line of webbing and caught it in his hand. He turned to see the elderly Zeti get back up onto his feet.

"Mind if we join in on the fun?"

Miles turned to see Sonic and Twilight land on the roof next to the young spider.

Miles shrugged, "A couple of minutes earlier wouldn't have been so bad either."

Twilight noticed the Emerald in his hand, "You got the Emerald! Well done, Miles!"

Miles chuckled awkwardly and rubbed the back of his head. The heroes then turned to Master Zik and entered their battle stances. Master Zik chuckled and pointed his staff at the heroes.

"Time for you all to be taught a lesson by your master."

(End song)

Meanwhile in Netherworld, the portal opened up in the gateway room. Metallix and Zavok stepped out of the portal, an Emerald in the robots hand. Eggman, Otto, and Sombra were waiting for them with anticipation.

Metallix walked over to Eggman and kneeled before him, offering the Emerald. Eggman smiled evilly, "Well done, you two," Eggman then grabbed the Emerald from his creations hand, "Now, with this Emerald, this increases our total count to four!"

Sombra honestly looked a little impressed, "Hmm, it seems that the rabble aren't as useless as I initially thought."

Suddenly, there was a ping on the main computer. Otto walked over and accepted the incoming transmission, "Li, report!"

"Parker and his allies are here. And that useless old fool lost the Emerald," Mr. Negative informed.

Otto sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose, "It doesn't matter. We have the final Chaos Emerald in our possession," Otto then began typing on the keyboard, "I'm activating a portal for you two to return to base. Get ready."

Mr. Negative was sent flying through the air and landed on the ground quite harshly. As he got back up, he noticed Master Zik approaching him with Sonic, Twilight, and Miles Morales following close behind.

Suddenly, a portal opened behind Martin. The negative villain turned to the Zeti, "We have the final Chaos Emerald! We're done here!"

Martin then made a run for it towards the portal with Master Zik following close behind.

Sonic's eyes widened, "Did he just say that they had the final Emerald?!"

Twilight then glared at the villains, "We have to go after them!"

Shadow wasted no time and gave chase. Everyone then followed the hedgehogs example and made a break for the portal before it closed. The two villains entered the portal and just before it closed, the heroes made it through as well.

The portal then closed.

Eggman and the others gawked at what just happened.

Sombra looked a little panicked, "T....This was unforeseen," the unicorn turned to Eggman, "They weren't suppose to make their way here yet, were they?"

Eggman then screamed like a girl and shoved the unicorn and Otto out of the way as he dashed towards the computer. He then began typing away like a madman.

"COME ON, COME ON, COME ON!!! LOCK ONTO THOSE IDIOTS POSITION IN THE RIFT!!!" Eggman screamed in a panic.

Eggman then locked onto the heroes location and quickly slammed his fist on the big blinking red button. The villains then turned to the gateway and saw Mr. Negative and Master Zik exit the portal. The three villains sighed in relief, Otto then turned to the egg shaped mad man.

"Ivo, where did you send them?"

"Heh heh. It doesn't matter. All that matters is that it gives us enough time to prepare for their arrival. While they're preparing in Equestria, it will already be too late."

(End song)
