hapter 8: Shattered: Part 3.


11:50 A.M. Ponyville Town Square 

A giant robot, created in Eggman's own image was seen terrorizing the innocent town. Its mechanized feet pulled up patches of grass and soil with every step it took. Its giant arms shooting out like projectiles, bouncing off Ponyville's houses and returning back to the robot. It was none other than the Death Egg Robot, one of Eggman's creations Sonic had fought long before. 

"Eggman!" cried a voice from a distance. 
"Hmm? Who's there?"
As soon as the Death Egg robot turned its head, Eggman finally realized who the voice that called him was.
"S-S-Sonic!?!"
"That's right! Y'know, you've got a lot of nerve, showing up here, and attacking innocent ponies."
"Nonsense Sonic, no way am I trying to kill them. For they are my soon to be subjects as I will reign over Equestria with an iron fist!"

“Hey look!” pointed out Dash “A giant talking egg!”
The rest of the Mane Six and Team Sonic gave out slight chuckles and soon burst into laughter.

“Hahaha!” snorted Sonic “Giant talking egg! I haven’t heard that one in AGES!”
The Doctor had soon grown infuriated at Dash’s comment, but was soon interested in the rainbow pony who reminded him very much of his arch-nemesis. 

“Hmm, blue, bold and brash! But more like “belongs in the trash!” She reminds me very much of you Sonic! This makes it all the more satisfying to crush the both of you!” An infuriated Eggman said as he banged his fist on his robot’s dashboard.  

“Hah! We’ll see who really belongs in the trash after this is all over!”
“You said it Dashie! This guy’s nothing but a total pushover!” sneered a cocky Sonic. “He’ll soon go down like a stack of dominos!”

Eggman soon pushed in his glasses and was ready to attack.
“We’ll see about that you pompous windbags! Now, prepare to be destroyed by my latest and greatest creation, Burnbot! ” 
The robot soon revealed itself as it pinched its claws, priming itself for battle. Due to its design and false naming, Sonic took the chance to sarcastically taunt his enemy and was soon joined by the other ponies as well.

“So what, is he gonna burn us with flamethrowers or something?” asked Sonic.
“Uh- flamethrowers, uh no!” replied Eggman.
“Acid?” queried Rainbow Dash.
“Uh- well no actually it’s-“
“Wait! I’ve got it! Incendiary Grenades!” thought Twilight.
“No! No! He has claws! Very painful claws!” Eggman shouted.

Applejack rolled her eyes. “Claws? Really?”
“Then you should’ve called him Clawbot!” suggested Sonic. “Or-” 
“The Lacerator seems a more suitable name darling.” advocated Rarity.
“No wait I’ve got it!” “Oh! Oh! Oh! I know too! I know too!” 
“Pinchatron 9000!” said Dash and Pinkie in great unison.

The self-proclaimed doctor began venting his anger as his creation continued to be assaulted with insults. Infuriated by their remarks, Eggman ordered his robot to attack.

“Grrgh, I NAMED THE ROBOT, FOOLS! Now, Burnbot ATTACK!!!”
“Not so fast Eggman!”

The blue hedgehog soon retaliated with a swift counter-homing attack, in where Burnbot was forced down firmly to the ground by Sonic’s signature move, where the robot was immediately destroyed. 

Rainbow Dash seemed thoroughly impressed by Sonic’s homing attack, to which she had shown great praise.

“Omigosh Omigosh Omigosh Omigosh Omigosh! Sonic, that…..was…..AWESOME! You have got to teach me that sometime ya know.”
“I aim to please.” The hedgehog said with a cocky grin.

“NOO! Burnbot! Get up! Grghh… No matter. You see Sonic, if you could handle one….. try handling a million of them! Ahahahaha!”

A door soon opened which revealed multiple copies of Burnbot as well as another door containing multiple Egg pawns, the foot soldiers of Eggman’s evil robot army.

Twilight soon became worried as she became intimidated by the size of Eggman’s army.

“Oh no! There’s too many of them! What are we going to do Sonic?” questioned the worried unicorn.
“Relax Twi, we’ve got this one” reassured Knuckles.
“Alright! Time to crack that Eggman wide open! Yeah let’s party!-huh?” 

A determined Sonic began to charge at the robots. But before he could charge, Twilight magically grabbed his hand, once again forcing him to simply do nothing but jog in place. 

“Huh? Twi!?” questioned Sonic as he forcibly let his hand go. “Ya gotta stop doin that.”
“Are you crazy Sonic!? I’m not gonna let you get killed!”
“Look, I appreciate the gesture Twi, but have you seen the homing attack I did on ol’ Clawbot over there? I can totally take on more of Egghead’s unoriginal cronies. Alright let’s go!”
“Sonic! Wait!”
“Heh, oh…Twilight…..” chuckled the echidna.
“What’s so funny Knuckles?” 
“You obviously haven’t seen Sonic fight.” said Knuckles as he left to join Sonic.
“Let alone us!” told Tails as he left as well.

“Hah! Alright!” exclaimed the proud hedgehog as he homing attacked.
“Hrggghhh…… Hah!” grunted the echidna as he jabbed on.
“Heh! Haaaaaahhhh………..Take That!” exclaimed the fox as he swiped his tails.

“Come on Twi!” prodded Dash. “Let’s go shred some metal!” said Rainbow as she air guitared. 

“Ok, first off that was a bad joke, and secondly, ARE YOU CRAZY!!eleven!!!11!! We are. Going. To. Get. KILLED!!!11!!1!!”

“Doesn’t seem to be stopping them.” Pointed out Dash to Team Sonic as she flew towards a small band of Egg Pawns. “Come on! Let’s dance!”
Rainbow immediately flew around the robots in a circle as swiftly as she could, resulting in them being swept up in a tornado and being kicked into another group of robots. 

“Haaah……….Hah! Take that ya junkyard rejects!”

“Hmmm……” Twilight pondered privately. “That looks kinda fun!” 

The young unicorn then used her magic to pick up one of the robots and smash them to the ground in pieces. She also began shooting magic bolts out of her horn and firing them at the Egg Pawns one by one. 
“Wow this is fun! I could get used to this! Alright metalheads! Just remember IT’S NO USE! So.... TAKE THIS!” exclaimed Twilight as she blasted one robot so high up, it almost reached Luna’s moon.

Applejack made quick use of her hooves and started bucking the robots one by one.
“Yeehaw!! Git along little doggies! These ol’ buckets o’ bolts won’t buck themselves! Weehoo!”

Pinkie had a more creative way of “fighting.” 
“Alright buckos! This calls for extreme measures, Pinkie Pie Style!” exclaimed the party pony as she fired her party cannon. “Yaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!”

Rarity refrained from fighting as she claimed it “wasn’t her style.” Although “something else” made her change her mind.
“Fighting doesn’t really suit my tastes darling as I’m more into fashion, so I think I’ll just take a re- *gasp* MY HAIR! H-h-he shot my hair! Why you son of a bit-!”

The enraged unicorn picked up one of the fallen Egg Pawn’s blasters and started firing at them nonstop.
“I’LL DESTROY YOU!!!!!!!11!!!1!!” 

Pinkie was flabbergasted at Rarity’s fighting as her ears raised but was quickly blasted by one of the robots.
“Holy Shi- Ah! Ow!”

Fluttershy soon rushed over to the injured Pinkie.

“Ah! Oh my gosh! Pinkie, please... speak to me!”
“Flu...ttershy.... please..... come...closer....”
“Yes Pinkie, what is it?”

Pinkie pulled out a cupcake and fed it to Fluttershy, jolting her energy to fight.
“Go.... get..... em’ Flutters!” 

Infuriated, Fluttershy lashed out at the robots, pummeling them down
“Hey! You big meanies! You. Do. Not. Hurt. My. FRIENDS! Come and get it! YAHHH!”
“Alright Fluttershy! Way to go!” yelled out Dash and the now conscious Pinkie in unison.

Team Sonic and the Mane Six fought on together, besting everything that stood in its way. It seemed that both teams would have a decisive absolute victory. Or so it seemed.......

Eggman, dumbfounded by the teams’ efforts began to grow furious. 

“What!?! How could these stupid little horses be able to defeat my strongest army! I mean, even the shy one’s fighting! Grrgh, I have to pay for these you know!”
“Maybe, if you stepped into the battlefield yourself and stopped being lazy, you wouldn’t have such a hard time...” snarled Discord.
“Oh is that so? Look who’s talking! You haven’t done a single thing in this battle, so if you think you can insult my tactics, you’ve got another thing coming!”
“Hmmm.... You’re right, you’re right. I haven’t done my share. Look, I’ll make it up to you. I’ll step in myself only if you will too.”
“D’oh alright...”
“Perfect, and besides, the sheer sight of me will catch those confounded ponies off guard.”


Sonic, not even breaking a sweat began to insult Eggman.

“So Egghead, ready to give up? Besides, how do you expect to take over Equestria all by yourself with me and my friends getting in your way?” 
“All by myself Sonic? I feel you’re sadly mistaken.....”
“Huh? Huh-Whoa! Who or what is that?”

“Oh NO!!” gasped the horrified Mane Six.

The draconequus made a flamboyant, grand entrance and had an evil intimidating cackle to boot. 
“Surprise! Did ya miss me?”

“D-Discord!?!” exclaimed a confused Twilight. “How.... are you here!?! My friends and I defeated you all by ourselves! We returned you to your stone prison and-” 
“You THOUGHT you sealed me in there forever Twilight Sparkle, but now I’m back! And don’t think I’ve forgotten how much pain and suffering you brought upon me!”
“Pain and suffering? Gimme a break!” groaned Dash. “You were the one who brought all that upon yourself! You were practically begging, BEGGING to be sealed again!”
“Well, I-I was just having a little fun that’s all. No harm in that right? Until you party poopers had to ruin it for me!”
“Look, this is no time to quarrel over the past!” Twilight interrupted. “The real question is, how were you set free?”
“He had a little help!” replied Eggman. “Well, I’d be lying if I said I completely helped him.”
“What are you getting at Eggman?” retorted Sonic.

“Shall we Discord?”
“I think it’s time, Ivo. Now behold! - Oh! Oops!” Discord planned to show the source of his power but accidentally showed a “certain” image of Eggman.
“What!?!?! No! Turn it off! Turn it off!” begged the Doctor. 
All of Team Sonic and the Mane Six reeled back in horror and disgust.
“I......thought......I............fixed........that dang watch.....” said Tails in fear.
“I.....think.....I’ll......never sleep well again.......” Sonic said in revulsion.
“Right........back at ya ‘Nic.” agreed Dash.


“Woops! Wrong one. Now Behold!”

Sonic couldn’t believe what he saw; one of his worst fears realized.
“Wha-What!?!”

Knuckles was shocked as well. “S-Sonic! That’s the....”
“Chaos Emeralds!” completed Sonic.

“That’s right uh-Sonic was it? I’ll admit, the name alone had me sold.” replied Discord.
“B-But how?!?” asked Tails.
“Oh a little black hedgehog friend of yours was kind enough to let me “borrow” it.”
“Black hedgehog? Oh no, Shadow? How'd he even get here..... and Shadow please don’t tell me you’ve..... ugh....this is what I get for lending out the emeralds to someone.”
“Sonic what are you talking about?” inquired Tails.
“After our little run-in with the Time Eater I sorta lent Shadow the Emeralds.”
“Why?”
“I dunno, I guess I was convinced that he’d be responsible to hold onto- wait a sec.....Discord, how did you even get ‘em from Shad? ‘Cause I know he wouldn’t let ‘em go without a fight.”
“Which is what we precisely had Sonic! I beat him fair and square and basically won them!”
“No way!! He turned Super and lost to you!?!?”
“He just simply couldn’t handle my superior, how you say “Skillz.” ”

“What do you even plan to do with those “Chaos Emeralds” Discord?!” interjected Twilight.
“Come on Ms. Sparkle, you’re supposed to be the smart one! What do you think I’m going to do with them? With the power of these Emeralds at my disposal, I’ll take back my rightful place as ruler of Equestria! Hahaha!” 
“Even with those Emeralds of yours Discord, my friends and I will wield the power of the Elements of Harmony to seal you once and for all!”
“Oh and that’s the best part my dear Twilight! Me and Eggman over here are going to find your precious little Elements and harness their power as well!”

“But that doesn’t make any sense!” retorted Knuckles. “Why would you even waste your time finding these “Elements” of some sort if you already have a set of the most powerful artifacts in the universe?”
“So those Elements would never be used against me and Eggman! And besides, more power means more Chaos! And no Elements means no way of your pathetic little pony friends to use them!”

“Well, there’s no way I’m letting you use those emeralds any longe- Oh wait.... Haha!” Sonic noticed something was off about the Emeralds but quickly realized the error. “Well, I don’t see how you plan to rule Equestria with a set of Emeralds that’s...... incomplete.”

“What are you blabbering abou- Wha-Ah! Where is it?!!? Where is it?!?”
“Where’s what Discord?” inquired Eggman.
“That.....that.....DARN 7th Chaos Emerald!”

“By Scott, you’re right!”
“Who’s Scott?” interrupted Pinkie.
“Grrgh, Shadow!!!!!!” continued Eggman. “He must’ve secretly swiped one when we weren’t looking! D’oh I hate that hedgehog!”

“Alright Shadow!” rejoiced Sonic. “Way to pull the ol’ nimble fingers! Oh, and Eggman, I though you only had that “I hate that hedgehog!” line made for me and only me! C’mon man, I thought what we had was special!”

“Grrgh, No matter.” retorted Discord. “I can still get by with only six emeralds!”

“Ok Discord, you’ve had your fair share of fun and games but it all ends here! With me and 8 other pals by my side, I’d say the only viable option is surrender!”

“Surrender? Whatever for?! Look at the power I command!” Discord soon used the six emeralds to incapacitate the Mane Six along with Tails and Knuckles, severely shocking them. Each of them wailed out in a cry of unspeakable and unbearable pain. 

“Aargh!!!! Sonic, please....HELP US!” were among the lines of what Sonic’s friends cried out. 
“Guys! NO!!!”

The blue hedgehog could only just stand there and watch his friends’ agony only grow worse. Finally, he mustered up the courage to stand up against the evil being and called him out.

“Let them go Discord! This fight is between you and me!”
“Not......without...... me........... you’re not!” a familiar, tomboyish voice cried out. 
“D-Dashie!?”

Rainbow Dash had managed to get out of Discord’s grasp, albeit exhausted and weakened but still having the willpower to fight. 

“Ok...........Discord. Playtime’s over.”

Sonic quickly repeated homing attacks towards Discord, knocking him down to the ground with Dash quickly spinning a tornado around him and kicking him down.

“Alright Dash! *whistle* That was tight!”
“I aim to please.”

“Don’t think.......... you’ve........defeated me yet........Take This!” exclaimed Discord as he fired multiple Chaos Spears.
“Woah! Chaos Spears? But how?” bellowed a surprised Sonic.
“These Emeralds have granted me special “chaos” powers, like your little friend Shadow!”

The fighting continued on with Sonic and Dash trying to dodge Discord’s barrage of attacks. 

“Whoa he’s fast Sonic!”
“Remember Dash, it’s not his speed, he must using the Chaos Emeralds to warp!”

The skirmish was soon ended by Eggman’s blast of his robot, reminding Discord of their current mission.

“Discord! Don’t forget the task at hand! We must still find the Elements!”
“Hmm..... You’re right Eggman! Oh I’m so sorry our little soirée had to be cut short Sonic and Rainbow Dash but don’t worry, we’ll meet again soon! I’ll be sure of it.....Hahahaha! In the meantime, I think I’ll keep your little friends in their little energy prisons to help point us as to where the Elements of Harmony are!”
“If you think I’m gonna show you where the Elements of Harmony are you’ve got another thing comi- Mmph Mmph Mmph!”
“Please my dear Twilight, you simply must watch your language around others. Anyway, toodle -ooo!”
“Aah! Guys, help us!” Tails screamed out as the two evil masterminds flew away.
“TAILS!! Hey come back here you creep!” cried out Dash.

Chapter 9: Everfree Showdown!
SMALL EDIT: 9/30/14: 
I removed the ending paragraph just because I felt it didn't suit right for this particular chapter and I sorta wanted to leave it as a somewhat cliffhanger ending :P But you'll see it again in a different chapter sometime soon. :)

Holy Karp! Me actually posting multiple stuff in the same year and pretty much a month or two right after the last thing's been posted. Woohoo! I'm getting me mojo back! 

Ok, enough celebratory things aside, I'm actually quite proud of myself for actually being more active with the fic and putting more effort into it.

I don't know why, but I have a feeling you guys will like this particular chapter in general. ;P

In short, I had a lot of fun writing this chapter, which is something I haven't felt in years! In fact, it isn't something I felt since I first started writing the early chapters! 'Memmer?......you 'memmer!
:icongeorgelopezplz:

Also, there is A LOT of little cross references and things of that nature. While they shouldn't be TOO hard to miss, see if you can spot them all ;) 

Hopefully I can keep this up and have a LOT of chapters posted soon. In fact, Chapter 9 should be posted shortly as its really only a short chapter.

So basically in this chapter, Team Sonic and the Mane Six meet up with Eggman and Discord and well, as they say, shit's about to go down.

Hope you guys enjoy and take care! :)
