Twilight Sparkle And Sonic  Thru The Flames By Sni by Snicket324






Chapter 1:

   
    All Quiet on the Western Front



The warm rays of the setting sun fill the sky as a gentle breeze rustles the long grass. A familiar cyan pegasus bobs, weaves, and loops through an array of pillars, hoops, and hurdles on a crudely made obstacle course; built on what appears to be somewhere on Sweet Apple Acres. She finally comes to a rest on top of a large red barn.

"Time!" the cyan pony shouts as she catches her breath.

"Uh...2 minutes and 23 seconds," a yellow pegasus says as she lands next to the cyan one.

"Ugh! Still not fast enough!" the still panting pony barks as she plops down on the roof of the barn.

"Well...uh for what it’s worth Dash, you improved from your last run," the yellow pony says, unfurling her wings for effect.

"Fluttershy, you know that doesn't mean diddly-do-da unless I can get it done in 2 minutes flat!" Rainbow Dash screams as she jumps to her hooves, causing the yellow Pegasus to wince.

"Come now, Dash. You've improved significantly since we started," a white unicorn says as she trots to the front of the barn.

"’Sides, this little course that we slapped together ain't exactly to scale to the one ya based it off of, sugar cube," a wheat colored earth pony says as she joins the white unicorn, with a two ponies, pink and lavender in color, following close behind.

"Thanks, everypony." Rainbow Dash flares out her wings and takes a starting position. "I'll be sure to get it next-"

"No can do," Applejack says, cutting off the pegasus.

"What? Why not?" the cyan pony shouts.

"Well, we got an hours worth of daylight left, at best," the wheat pony responds, turning to the horizon.

"So?" Dash asks, meeting the earth pony on the ground.

"Well, Ah'd like to get this here course down before that big storm tonight," Applejack continues, turning back towards Dash.

Rainbow Dash lets out a heavy sigh and drops her head."Fine."

"Don't worry Dashie, you can try again tomorrow." a pink pony chimes in, trying to make the pegasus feel better.

"Plus, we can get this course...a bit more accurate, so you can get the full benefits of our version," a lavender unicorn says with a smug expression.

"Yeah, I suppose your right. Having this not set up properly..."

A series of ear-shattering explosions cut the pony off, as they rip through the air from off in the distance. Each eruption occurs moments after the other, knocking the main 6 to the ground from the percussion of air following the explosions. They shrieked as they tumbled in various directions away from the blast.

"Whoa! What was that?" the cyan Pegasus asks as she struggles to stand up.

"Something big, that’s fer sure." Applejack chimes in, still lying on the ground.

"No kidding! You think?!" Rainbow Dash snaps as she turns towards the wheat earth pony.

"GIRLS!" Twilight shouts as she stumbles to her feet. "Is everypony OK?" She continues as she looks around.

"Aside from needing another perm, I'm alright," Rarity says with annoyance in her voice as she joins the lavender unicorn.

"Honky-dory-ka!" the pink pony squeaks as she springs to her feet.

"Pinkie darling, I don't think there is a 'ka' in that phrase," the white unicorn corrects, no longer using her annoyed tone.

"Anyhow, does anypony have any idea what just happened?" Applejack asks, motioning towards the smoke-filled horizon.

"Hmm. I wish I did," the lavender unicorn says as she gazes into the distance.

"Well, only one way to find out," Twilight continues as she turns back to the group.

"’Bout time!" Rainbow Dash shouts as she takes flight.

"Lead the way," Pinkie Pie adds.

"If you must, I might as well come along," a reluctant Rarity says with a hint worry in her voice. "Yeeeee-haw, what’re ya’ll waiting fer?!" an enthusiastic Applejack shouts as she gallops next to Twilight.

"Well, since it's unanimous, let’s..." the cyan stops mid-sentence and looks around. "Hey, has any pony seen Fluttershy?" The other ponies shrug, followed by a look of worry."Well we have to get go-"

"I'm right here," a yellow pegasus says meekly; cutting off Rainbow Dash as she flutters down to the rest of the group.

"You alright there, sugar cube?" Applejack asks as she walks towards the meek pony. "We were getting’ kinda worried ‘bout ya when we saw that you weren't with us."

"I'm alright, I just got a little bit scared when that big noise came at us," Fluttershy responds, cringing. "So, I uh, hid. But uh, if we're going to see what that was, we should probably get going now, while the sun is still out."

The other five shoot Fluttershy an odd look. "Uh, Fluttershy dear, you do know that it might be dangerous," a concerned Rarity says as she talks towards the yellow pony.

"Well, uh, yes, I know, but, uh, something might be hurt or scared."

"Typical Fluttershy, always willing to help those in needs" Rainbow Dash adds, taking flight once more.

"Well uh, as the saying goes...onward," the shy pony says, joining the others.

------

"It's just up ahead, we're almost-" Twilight cuts herself off as she comes to the entrance to the Everfree forest.

"What's wrong Twilight, why did you...oh," Rarity stops midsentence she meets up with Twilight.

"Of all the places it coulda happened, why’d it hafta be here?" an annoyed Applejack adds as she meets up with the other two.

"Why is every pony stopping?" Pinkie Pie asks as she meets up with the other three.

"Well..."

"HEY, OVER HERE!" Rainbow Dash shouts from the side of the forest. The four ponies instantly head towards the Rainbow Dash's call and meet up with her and Fluttershy. "Any ideas on what happened here?" the cyan pegasus asks as she motions towards the forest as the rest of the group arrives.

A large trench cuts straight through the forest, leaving a path of destruction in its wake. Smoke billows out from the charred earth as a few trees still burn or smolder along the new path.

"Oh my," the white unicorn says as she holds her hoof to her mouth.

"Whaddaya think coulda done this, Twi?" a scared Applejack asks, glancing at the trench.

"Nopony I know, nor anything in Equestria for that matter. Which means..." a concerned lavender pony adds.

"Oo-ow a mystery, let’s go!" Pinkie Pie shouts as she darts off down next to the new path.

"Wait Pinkie, you can't just take off like that!" an annoyed Rainbow Dash shouts as she chases after her.

"C'mon girl's!" Twilight says as she starts to chase after the other two ponies.

------

Following the new 'path', the six ponies travel through the Everfree forest and emerge near Fluttershy's cottage, only to witness the animals in a frenzy.

"What the?" Rainbow Dash says, breaking the silence.

"What got them all riled up?" Applejack adds.

"I dunno, but LOOK!" Pinkie Pie shouts, pointing towards the chicken hut with a now wider front entrance.

"Oh my," Fluttershy worriedly says as she approaches the chicken hut.

"Fluttershy, wait!" Twilight shouts. "It might be dangerous, I'll go."

"Well uh, if you must," the timid pegasus says, slouching as Twilight trots past her.

"No way, I'm not letting you go in alone." Rainbow Dahs shouts as she lands next to the unicorn.

"None of us are, right girls!?" Applejack exclaims to the rest of group. "......right girls?" The other three nod in agreement and start heading towards Twilight. However, something stops them.

A massive explosion erupts from the chicken hut, sending debris flying in every direction. The ponies hit the ground and take cover, trying to avoid the scattering chicken hut.

"Twilight!" Rainbow Dash shouts as she's knocked back.

"Rainbow Dash!" the lavender unicorn calls out as she watches her friend get blasted back. A blinding light cuts through the explosion, jutting skyward, causing the others to shield their eyes. A spiked creature emerges from the wreckage, a familiar yellow glow pulsing around it. Jagged quills jut in every direction and long claws poking through the pair of it's now torn gloves. It slowly opens its eyes and peer around with a set of red, spiraling eyes.

The lavender unicorn looks on as something moist lands on top of her face. She goes to wipe it away and to her horror fresh blood is now smeared along her right foreleg. "What the-!?"

"Muahahaha! You think that was enough to stop me you, fool!" the creature bellows, its voice sound distorted and deep. "Now it's my turn to...wait." The creature cuts itself off and reduces some of its pulsating yellow glow, revealing the creature to be an anthropomorphic hedgehog with a twisted look of confusion on its face."What is this?"

"What in tarnation is that thing?" Applejack asks, as she turns to Twilight.

"I don't-"

"Ooooh! Fresh meat!" the hedgehog exclaims delightedly as it hovers above the remains of the chicken hut. The ponies scatter at its morbid comment. "No, better yet, target practice! Hahaha!"

The hedgehog suddenly fires a set of twin red lasers from his eyes, barely missing Rarity and Pinkie Pie as it cuts deep into the ground.

"Whoa!" Pinkie Shouts, while the white unicorn shrieks. He fires another at Fluttershy who’s frozen in place with fear.

"Look out!" Rainbow Dash shouts as she tackles the yellow pegasus out of the range of fire. "I don't know what you are or what your problem is, but no one hurts my friends." The pony suddenly charges towards the creature, picking up speed until bashing into it a full speed, creating a shock wave that causes the others to brace themselves against the blast.

"What?" The cyan pony looks in shock as a set of spiked hands stops her attack, diggings their claws into her hooves. The pony cringes in pain, but to her surprise, the creature instantly releases her and grabs his head while stumbling backwards.

"RUN! RUN YOU FOOLS, RUN!" The ponies simply stare at the creature in shock at its sudden change in attitude. "RUN AS FAR AWAY-" The hedgehog stops mid sentence and drops his head, letting his arms lifelessly sway at his sides.

"Hahahah...HAHAHAHAHAHA!" the hedgehog cackles, bursting into a crazed fit of laughter.

"What are you?" the cyan pony seethes, still lying in front of the creature. He fires another set of lasers at the pony, barely missing her, then starts to charge at her in a ridiculous burst of speed.

"GET AWAY FROM HER!" Twilight shouts as she charges towards the hedgehog and strikes him with a magic blast from her horn, causing him to stop and stumble back a bit.

"You want some too?"

The lavender pony stands before her friend, preparing to fire another attack. "I won't let you hurt my friends."

"HAHAHAHA, the little horsey wants to protect its friends," the creature cackles as it smirks at the unicorn. Twilight fires another blast at the creature, knocking him back. Again and again she fires, sending him several feet back. Soon, the hedgehog falls to one knee, growling. "ENOUGH!" he snarls through his teeth as he jumps to his feet and fires another laser at the pony.

However, to his surprise, it doesn't strike. Rather, it's stopped in midair by the unicorn's magic bursting from her horn.

"What is this blasphemy?!" the creature exclaims as his attack it halted. "Figures, this fool was pretty battered up when I came out. And who know how much energy was used when-" the hedgehog is jerked out of his pondering as he's struck in the head with the magic blast, causing him to fall to his knees. Twilight cringes as she continues to strike the creature down. To her surprise, as she attacks the creature with all of her magic, images start flooding into her mind of a blue hedgehog. They flash before her like the reels of a picture show, revealing to the hedgehog’s acts of heroism. Some show him saving numerous creatures from harm and facing off against countless machines while others are of him spending time with other anthropomorphic animals like himself as they appear to be enjoying his company.

Twilight's legs start to give out as the images flash by faster and faster, overloading her brain and causing her to tremble, finally making her cease the magic blast and collapse.

"Twilight!" a wheat earth pony shouts as she charges towards her, followed by the remainder of the Mane Six. "You alright?"

The mare gives her head a quick shake and rises shakily to her hooves. "Yeah, I think so, but what about him?" the unicorn asks, gesturing to the still standing, but motionless hedgehog.

"What about him?" Applejack interjects, with malice in her voice.

"He's-" But before Twilight could finish, the creature starts convulsing and grabs his head, letting out an ear-shattering scream as massive amounts of bright light flow off of him.

"What’s going on?" Pinkie asks as she walks to Twilight's side.

"Ah think he's-" The wheat earth pony's words are drowned out as the hedgehog’s screams grow louder as more light erupts from his body. In a large burst of energy, the creature seems to explode, sending a cloud of dust and dirt flying around him.

As the dust clears, the creature still stands, expect instead of jagged yellow spikes protruding in every direction, slick blue ones curl behind his head and back while 7 different colored finely cut gems circle around him, each glowing with a dark energy. They slowly come to a rest on the ground before him. Shaking his head several times, the hedgehog looks up at the ponies with calming green eyes and lets out a smirk. "Ponies,” he says just before collapsing onto the ground.
