As Rainbow dash began to wake up, she was laying in the middle of a lush green field with...checker board pattern rock? She woke up and looked around the area. And she was baffled. This area didn't seem familiar to her at all. Especially the floating rings, the weird posts, and the loop-da-loops that are the rock formations.

She didn't realize this place as she didn't know if she was near ponyville anymore. What? Ponyville? She then remembered her friends getting sucked into the rifts and vanished from the world. Are they...gone?

She shook her head and thought, "Now's not the time for what ifs. Now's the time to action! Hang on, guys!" She jumped up and took off in fast speeds, starting her search for her friends.

Meanwhile in a unknown void

Sonic and Spear woke up in a mysterious place of...well...nothing. just a empty white void of white nothingness. This confused then as they stood up. Sonic then said "Do you have any idea what happened or where are we?"

Spear got up after Sonic, and began to get a feel of the area. The place was void of life that for sure. But there was more then that...or lack there of I should say. No color, no energy, not even a sense of time. It's like time has stopped for all. But he also had of sense of De-ja-voo. Like...he was here before.

"It looks like a spot outside of reality, void of time and space. Yet there's this scene of...familiarity here. Like...I've been here before." Sonic look at Spear with a confused look, wondering if this was a place that he's been to before on his travels.

As the two of them walked for a bit, they saw the Is remnants of...a tree? It was big yet hallowed out. Spear continued to get this nagging sense of familiarity from this place. But this time, it hit with a sense of dread.
No...it couldn't be. This place was fine yesterday. How did? They began to explore the area around the tree, but Spear had to know if this was the same place. He opened the door and saw...it was the same place!

Sonic looked inside and was amazed at what he saw. A whole library in a tree. He figured that it was something you only heard in fairy tails but sure enough, it's the real deal.

Spear however...looked horribly scared. Being in the library like this confirmed his Suspicious...this was ponyville...and it was basically wiped from existence! He started to wonder if the others were ok...the princesses, his friends...his daughter scootaloo...all these thoughts were almost too much to bear at once. He fell on his knees and began to hyperventilate, letting all the possibilities on what happened getting him.

Sonic saw Spear having a nervous breakdown next to him and got worried. He's never had seen him like this before. Even with the odds against then, he would still try and make the best of the situation. Now however...he seemed devastated and broken. Sonic decided to talk to him while investigating the tree library and said "You ok Spear? You need to calm down. You look more...distressed then usual."

Spear then sighed and said, "I'm sorry Sonic. But, I've been here before. I know who lives here. And I'm extremely worried about them. Their...their like family to me. Like how our friends are in mobius. If there not here then..."

Sonic then put his hand on his shoulder and Said "Hey. Don't start thinking that. It's not a Guarantee. There probably still alive, waiting for you to save them. Just like our friends are waiting for us to save them."

Sonic then had an idea on how to get his message across to his green twins minds. He didn't know why. But being in the tree was putting him in a singing mode. "Come on, it's like I always say. It doesn't matter!" Sonic and Spear could suddenly hear music seemly coming from out of nowhere. Spear had a feeling what was happening, while Sonic just rolled with it. He started with a whistle and sang ,

Oh-oh, yeah,... Alright!

Sonic felt the music guide him as he sang what he felt as he sang,

Well, I don't show off - don't criticize!
I'm just livin' by my own feelings,

And I won't give in - won't compromise!

'Cause I only have a steadfast heart of gold!

I don't know why - I can't leave, though It might be tough,

but I ain't out of control - just livin' by my word!

Don't ask me why - I don't need a reason!
I've got my way - my own waaaay!

Spear began to feel the music influence him as he began to sing back up, singing,

It doesn't matter- now what happens, I will never give up the fight!

Long as the voice inside drives me to run and fight!

It doesn't matter who is wrong and who is right!

At this ponit both Spear and Sonic were jamming out to their duet that the bad vibes Spear felt earlier were beginning to fade away as Sonic began the second verse.

Well, I don't look back - I don't need to!
Time won't wait and I've got so much to do!

Where do I stop? Now it's all a blur and so unclear!

Well, I don't know, but I can't be wroooong!

It doesn't matter, now what happens! I will never give up the fight!

Long as the voice inside drives me to run and fight!

Place all your bets on the one you think is right!

Sonic then had a idea and pulled out a medallion in the shape of a guitar, grabbed it and it activated, turning into a guitar! Sonic then started to play a sick guitar solo as Spear began to break dance in turn of the music. As the guitar solo began to end, Spear decided to bring it home and sang,

Oh, it doesn't matter, Now what happens!

I will never, give up the fight!

Long as the voice inside drives me to run and fight!

It doesn't matter who is wrong and who is right!

Noooooo! No. no, no! It doesn't matter!

When the song ended, Sonic and Spear gave each other a high five as Spear said "Your right Sonic! This isn't the time to be stuck in my own despair! We have friends to find! A world to restore, And a monster's butt to kick!"

As Sonic smirked at Spear, the sounds of sparks of electricity began to sound as they looked behind them. A hole in space-time began to open as the two hedgehogs got surprised by the display. Sonic chuckled and said "Didn't I say we find something in no time? So, got any idea HOW this happened?"

Spear didn't have a concrete idea, but a working theory. "Well, I DO have a theory, but I'm not sure you'll believe me when I tell you."

Sonic had a disbelief look on him when Spear said that and responded "Considering what WE go though on a daily bases, I highly doubt what your gonna say will faze me."

Spear then gave a sigh and said "well...I think our friendship combined with the energy of our duet must have acted like a key that opened this portal." Sonic looked at him with confusion and said "Isn't that kinda random?"

Spear looked at Sonic with a deadpan look and said "This is equestrian magic we're dealing with here Sonic. I've given up trying to make sense of it a long time."

Before Sonic could ask about further, Spear continued to day. "Anyway,looks like this portal is connected to somewhere in our world. Will have to go in to investigate what's going on. "

Sonic then smirked and said "Heh,alright then. Let's see what's behind this portal!"

Sonic eagerly jumped in the portal without a second thought, Spear jumped right after him, as they traveled though time and space, not knowing where they were headed.

As the two of them landed on the ground, they looked around to see where or when they landed. Sonic looked around and said, "Is...is this Green hill zone?"

Spear looked around as well to the familiar land around them and said "I believe so...But, how did we get here? And why dose the area feel...different then normal?"

Sonic then started to stretch and said "Look,we can ask questions till we're blue in the face, but it's probably faster if we just run and see what we can find. You game?"

Spear sighed knowing full well that Sonic was right. In this case, taking the heads-on approach might prove more affective then questioning themselves and doing nothing.

Before replying to Sonic however, he already spin dashed ahead saying, "Catch me if you can!" This annoyed Spear as his competitive spirit started to light inside of him. "HEY, NO FAIR SONIC! YOUR GONNA REGRET THAT!"

Spear then smirked, forgetting how the two of them have a rivalry on who's better. He then spin dashed to get a boost of speed and dashed after him.

What started as exploring the area, quickly turned into a friendly race between rivals. The two of them have always been rivals since their younger days, seeing which of them was faster.

Over the years however, it eventually evolved from a simple race to racing combat. Especially when Knuckles and Shadow became Sonic's rivals too.

The two of them stared at each other while running, waiting for a opportunity to strike. When there was a opening, the two of them jumped and started to strick with a Flurry of punchs and kicks at sonic speeds. Sonic managed to get a good kick in Spear's ribs while Spear got a good blow on Sonic's head with a punch.

Sonic then caught Spear off guard as he fired a sonic wind energy blast at him, and was send to ground. Spear retaliated by firing a crush cannon shot at Sonic as both attacks hit their marks. The race slowed down as they saw that they had some uninvited guest to their private brawl.

They were buzz bombers, catakillers, and motobugs. Doctor Eggman's early batch of robots he used for his army. The weird thing about seeing them here is that he stopped using these old models years ago. How were they back online?

Sonic then said "Well this feel weird. Seeing old badniks up and about like this." Spear then replied "I know, right? Didn't Eggman stop making these kind of badniks years ago? Or at least, doesn't make them as offen anymore? Maybe he's running out of idea?"

Sonic then walked up to a motobug and patted it on the head saying "you know, I kinda feel bad for trashing them now. Their not that big of a threat nowadays, so many we can-" Sonic thoughts were cut as the motobug got a sneak attack on Sonic before he said "Never mind! Let's trash them!"

Sonic then used the homing attack to deal with the buzz bombers with ease while Spear spin dashed the catakillers to keep them from spitting apart. The two of them finished off the motobugs with a double tornado and a countless spin attacks till there was nothing left.

Sonic then stretched and said "Man, I forgot how much of pushovers they were! The badniks the doc uses nowadays are more of a challenge compared to this!"

Spear then thought about it and said "yeah. Why IS the doctor suddenly using old badnik models that are clearly weaker then his usual models?" Sonic then smirked and said "Maybe he's feeling nostalgic too? Who knows. Let's see what else we can find!"

Spear then yelled "Sonic wait! Argh! Can't be bothered to wait for 5 minutes?!" He dashed after him. Hoping he didn't go too far.

As Sonic was running across the area, Sonic began to remember these old stomping grounds, and the start of his and Spear's endless adventures. Plus the old badniks around here and totem poles gave him a sence of nostalgia.
.

As Sonic ran off a natural ramp to get some air, something slammed into him in the air and the two of them fell to the other side of the riven.

As Sonic began to woke up from the collision, he said "Geez, watch where your going buddy." The other crasher then said "Same to you buddy. You should know to watch out when I'm in the sky."

Sonic then opened his eyes and saw...a blue Pegasus with a rainbow mane? "OK, maybe I hit my head a bit hard there but...who ARE you?"

The Pegasus in question had a shocking look on her face and said "What?! You definitely must've hit your head hard, Cas there's NO way you've never heard of me, Rainbow dash! The fastest flyer in equestria! And probably the fastest being in the universe."

Sonic then smirked and said, "Looks like somebody needs a update on current events. The names Sonic. Sonic the hedgehog. I'm the world's fastest hedgehog. And I'M the fastest being in the universe!"

Both of them looked at each other with a intense glare. Believing that the other was tripping about their speed when suddenly, "Geez Sonic! If your gonna keep running off like that, I'm gonna have to put a bell on you."

Spear landed a few feet from them as he walked over with his eyes closed "Seriously Sonic, we got to be-" he was interrupted by a familiar voice he heard "S-Spear?!" Rainbow said in a unbelieving tone. Spear opened his eyes and saw the source of the voice "R-Rainbow dash?!"

The two of them stared at each other for a minute, then ran to each to hug and said at the same time "Your alive! Your alive!" With excitement in their voices. Laughing , smiling, and Relieved that the other was ok.

Sonic,being the odd one out, was confused by the Exchange and said "hold on for a second. You two know each other?"

Spear decided to explain everything to Sonic and rainbow dash and get them up to speed.
"Sonic, let me introduce you to Rainvow dash. A friend of mine from ponyville, the place we were just at a little bit ago. Rainbow dash, this is Sonic, a old friend from my home world and the SECOND fastest hedgehog in the world."

Sonic gave a annoyed grunt and said "I think your confused when you said that. Cas I'M the fastest hedgehog in the world."

"Hmph" was all that Spear could say as the before moving on and said "what are you doing here Rainbow?"

Rainbow then retold the events of what happened to her and their friends at the park as both Sonic and Spear gasped and said "The same thing happened to us too!"

Rainbow dash was shocked and said "you guys too?! What happened?!" Spear then explained what happened on their end and how they dealt with the monster on their side. Rainbow look downcast and said "Is there ANY possible way to defeat that thing?"

Sonic then said in a confidence grin "Hey, no worry. Me and Spear can deal with that thing once we find it!"

Spear smirked, while knowing that they stood no chance now, it didn't meant he didn't want another go at it. "Hmph. Next time I see that thing, I'm blasting it to space dust!"

Rainbow dash was shocked at Spear's attitude now. Usually he's the level headed one around her. But now he's more eagered for the next fight. And she didn't know how to respond.

Sonic then had a idea. He didn't want to leave Rainbow behind, and he knew Spear wouldn't like the idea of leaving Rainbow dash here. So he said " Look, Rainbow dash was it? I know that both our worlds are in this mess, so why don't we team up? If we can figure out how that creature caused this mess, we could probably clean this mess up and return our worlds back to normal and find out friends in the process."

Spear then added "he's got a point Rainbow. Two heads are better then one. But three head are better then two. What'd you say? Up for a team up?"

Rainbow figured that with Spear, they could get everything to normal in no time. He's never let them down before. And it seems like this Sonic guy is of similar capability so..."let's do it! Let's save all of our friends!"

Sonic and Spear both shot a smirk and said "all right! Let's do it to it!" All three of them sped off as they continued the search for their friends.

Rainbow dash always knew that Spear was fast, but the speeds he reached as they were running though green hill was mind bawling. She had to wonder if he was holding back when they raced in gassly gorge. And Sonic proved immediately that he definitely has the speed to match.

But still wanted to prove her speed when they had time. The two if them continued there race from before, but agreed to keep it a plain race till Rainbow dash was used to their speed.

Thankfully, the zone provided more then enough excitement for all three of them as they blasted there way though badniks with ease. They even let Rainbow have a turn against some crabmeat badniks that were in the way, which Rainbow had no trouble taking out. They also accidentally broke off a chunk of a large todom pole as they made their way though. They boosted their way out of danger easily enough.

They finally made it to a safe spot when Rainbow yelled "That was AWSOME! Is it like this for you two all the time?!" Rainbow was definitely still riding the adrenaline of their run when Spear said "This is usually once a week. Sometimes twice a week."

As Sonic began to look around, he noticed two statues that seemed hidden in the bushes. Sonic checked real quick then out "Spear! Rainbow dash! Look at this!"

The two of them followed Sonic and saw the statues. They were shocked as Spear said "Tails! Twilight!" He ran to them and said " Their petrified."

Rainbow dash was terrified. She's never seen her friend like this before. She remembered how fluttershy told her about how Twilight was turned to stone by a cockatrice some time back but this looks more horrible by comparison. Rainbow then saw something shiny on the ground. She picked it up and said "what's this?" She picked up what looked like a gold ring of some kind.

Sonic and Spear recognized what it was immediately as Sonic said "That's a wrap ring!" Rainbow dash was confused on why a ring was so exciting to them and asked "What's a wrap ring?"

Spear then explained what a wrap ring was. "A wrap ring allows the user to wrap space and travel around the planet just by thinking of where they want to go. Like say if you wanted to go from ponyville to cantrlot quickly without taking the train." Rainbow dash seemed to understand the explanation seemly enough.

Sonic then chimed in by saying "and it's gonna be even more useful here. With space all messed up like this, the wrap ring should take us back to the library in no time at all."

Rainbow tilted her head to her side and said "is that possible?" Spear then said "Believe it or not, Sonic has the right idea. With space so messed up like this it SHOULD make wrapping a way to the library pretty easy."

Sonic then thought about the golden oak library, tossed the ring, and it opened the way to the library. "Sweet! It worked! Lets get these two back to the library and figure out how to get them back to normal."

As Sonic carried Tails and Spear carried Twilight back to the library, Rainbow took one last look to green hill zone and said "This place is amazing." And she crossed though just as the ring closed.
