An alternate ending of the Sonic Frontiers Final Horizon DLC

This was it. Sonic knew it was now or never. He had to do this. To save his friends, his enemies, his home. The last his friends saw of him was the super-powered hedgehog being launched from a giant rifle, straight through Supreme, and through the fake moon in the sky.

Far Across New Frontiers

Author's Note

Fair warning, this takes place at the very beginning of Season 5, more specifically, Season 5 Episode 2. Also, Sonic will sound like Jason Griffith when he arrives in Equestria until he (something I can't explain yet). But I will tell you in what order he'll find the Chaos Emeralds.

Far Across New Frontiers

"Sonic, it's now or never!"

Sonic The Hedgehog looked at his arch-nemesis, nodding in confirmation. The super Mobian then flew into the barrel of the cannon that the titan Supreme would use against intruders. He eventually reached the back of the barrel, standing right against the launch mechanism. He took a deep breath, before turning around to face the way he came. "Sorry, Master King. Looks like I'm going all out after all!"

Sonic's breath slowed, allowing the cyber energy to completely meld with the power of the Chaos Energy, his body becoming more black & blue. Once the hedgehog opened his eyes, his movements became erratic, almost like a computer about to crash. Eggman slowly raised the gigantic rifle, his goggles aiming system trying to pinpoint where Supreme would be. The target finally pinpointed it, and Eggman narrowed his eyes, before pressing the fire button.

Sonic launched towards Supreme and The End at an erratic speed, his eyes directed straight at The End. He went straight through Supreme with little to no effort and went straight toward the fake moon. "Mortal...You will suffer for your consequences. You will no longer see your home. I am inevita-"

The End was cut off by Cyber Super Sonic going straight through it, accidentally absorbing more Cyber energy in the process, approaching the edges of his galaxy, reality breaking around his form, with The End exploding behind him, releasing his friends from their Cyber-Ghost existence in Cyberspace. As he approached the edge of the Galaxy, a portal appeared in front of him, the gravitational pull becoming too great for the boost of his form to handle, causing the cyber hedgehog to be sucked into the portal, into a universe likely unknown to anyone on Mobius.

-Our Town, Equestria-

Starlight Glimmer was running for her life. Why, one might ask? Well, she had the cutie marks of the most notable ponies in Equestria. She finally had crossed the bridge which led to a maze of a cave system, and unleashed a blast of magic that destroyed the weakest point of the bridge at the center. She sighed in relief, turning around to head into the caves. But, she was immediately met with a black & blue comet crashing down in front of her.

Thankfully, she used her magic to stop herself from falling. Unfortunately, she was distracted long enough for her to drop the cutie marks of the Mane 6, causing the jars holding them to shatter, and for them to head back to their respective owners.

First was Applejack, who was an orange earth pony with blonde mane and tail, both of which were tied in a red ponytail at their ends, her cutie mark was three apples. Then Rarity, a white unicorn with curled purple mane and tail, with her cutie mark being 3 diamond-like gems. Followed by Pinkie Pie, a pink earth pony with hot pink mane and tail, and her cutie mark being an alternating pattern of three balloons, two being yellow with blue thread, and on blue with yellow thread.

There was Fluttershy, a yellow pegasus with pastel pink mane and tail, and a cutie mark of three butterflies with pink wings and blue bodies. Rainbow Dash, a blue pegasus with very adequately named rainbow hair, and a cutie mark of a bolt of lighting that was the three primary colors coming out of a cloud. And finally, Twilight Sparkle, a purple alicorn with a mane and tail that showed different shades of purple, and a cutie mark that more looked like a small group of stars, with a purple & white star in the middle.

"Yee-haw!" Applejack whooped, bucking with pride and joy. "I can finally buck like a five-bit snake in an Appleloosa herder ranch!" Fluttershy nodded in agreement, looking over at the Southern accented earth pony. "I'm glad you got your country-isms back," She said with a light nod.

The girls then galloped toward the bridge, unaware of what had transpired before they got their cutie marks back. As soon as they did though, Starlight Glimmer landed in front of them with her magic, very visibly enraged. But as she did so, seven peculiar gems erupted from the small crater, scattering all over the world of Equestria, leaving whatever the black and blue comet was in the crater.

As soon as the traitorous ponies of her once great town stood in front of her. Finally over the edge, she charged up her magic and fired it at them. But it was blocked by Twilight, who used her magic to create a shield to protect them from Starlight's magic. Thankfully, due to her being an alicorn, Twilight was able to hold strong and defend until Starlight stopped, which was when she lowered the shield.

"I studied that spell for years! How can you-" *The unicorn whined, before being cut off by Twilight. "I studied magic for years too, but what I didn't know then was that studying could only take me so far. Each of my friends has taught me something different about myself." Twilight explained, looking at her friends who finally arrived where they were, before looking back at Starlight.

"It was their unique gifts, passions, and personalities that helped bring out the magic inside of me. I never would've learned that I was the Element of Magic without these five, and I certainly wouldn't be here to stop you now." Twilight finished, Starlight rolling her eyes in irritation. "Spare me your sentimental nonsense! I gave these ponies real friendships they never could've had otherwise!" Starlight shouted, her frustration growing.

"And...how would you know that, ma'am?" A separate voice from the group said. Starlight glared down at the ponies before her, wondering which one it was. It definitely wasn't any of the girls. But, it also wasn't Double Diamond, who was one of the only males, because this voice sounded a bit younger.

"Over here, little lady." The voice called, sounded almost like someone Starlight would possibly have a crush on. She then looked at the crater, and her eyes widened. Standing in it was something that possibly shouldn't even exist.

It seemed to be a hedgehog of some kind, but not one Starlight was familiar with. This one stood on two legs, had blue fur and quills, dazzling emerald green eyes, and wore white gloves and red shoes with a white strip going across the middle horizontally, with a gold buckle on the outer side, and gray outer soles.

"Who says that they had friendships under your control? Because from what I'm hearing, it sounds like you were quite the tyrant." The hedgehog said, a smirking widening a little on his tanned muzzle. That was the last straw for Starlight, she charged up her magic, before unleashing a chunk of energy in an outward sphere. The hedgehog jumped over the group of ponies, prepared to parry whatever might be happening. But, the magic dissipated, and where Starlight stood was empty.

Rainbow's ears heard galloping, and she flew to the entrance of the cave. "She's getting away!" She shouted, with Double Diamond saying that they wouldn't be able to find her in the cave system of the mountains. "We just hope she's had a chance to think it over, she realizes that you all have taught here something." Twilight said, a slight glimmer of hope in her eyes. The other male unicorn, Party Favor, walked up to Twilight, saying that she taught them something. That they all came to the village to find the thing missing in their lives, with it turning out to be friendship.

-Transition-

Everypony in the village was enjoying their life, along with their cutie marks. The Mane 6, alongside the hedgehog, watched as the residents enjoyed their newfound friendship in celebration. Fluttershy looked over at the hedgehog, his emerald eyes, shining brightly as he watched this happen, light blue cubes of aura-like energy radiating at his feet. Her muzzle became a soft pink hue, before she shook her head, refocusing herself. She walked up to him, a question on her mind.

"Um, excuse me. Who are you?" The kind pegasus asked. The hedgehog looked down at Fluttershy, a small smile on his muzzle as he turned to her, his emerald eyes glinting a slight blue for a few seconds before returning to their green color.

"My name's Sonic. Sonic The Hedgehog. And I don't know how I got here at all."
