Sonic: Adventures in Equestria: The Movie/Transcript

This is the transcript for Sonic: Adventures in Equestria: The Movie

Prologue/The Friendship Festival/We've Got This Together
[The film opens up at Eggman's lair, Dr. Eggman is seen watching his previous defeats from his lab. Orbot, Cubot, Cluck, Snivley, Decoe, Bocoe, Bokkun, Scratch, Grounder, Coconuts, Lien-Da, Sleet, Dingo, Infinite, Doctor Starline, Rough, Tumble, Eggman Nega, Neo Metal Sonic, Hypnobot, Morpho, Dreamcaster, Captain Whisker, Captain Metal, Captain Johnny, The Deadly Six, and the Hard-Boiled Heavies watching]

Dr. Eggman: Sonic. How I hate him. [pounds on the screen] And one day, all of that loathing will finally allow me to defeat him and those other Freedom Fighter chumps! Every defeat. Every humiliation at the Hedgehog's hands will be returned a thousandfold one of these days. Once I've destroyed them all, I'll finally get to expand the Eggman Empire across the globe, and conquer the world! Mwa-ha-ha-ha!

Orbot: The boss means business this time!

Cubot: Mm hm, he sure does!

Infinite: [his body was slightly glitching, in addition, the Phantom Ruby was still in its' overclocked state] Honestly, couldn't he just go out and destroy him now instead of just wasting time?

Doctor Starline: Maybe, Infinite, maybe...

Lien-Da: [noticing Infinite's body glitching] Uh, Infinite, are you well, you don't seem to look yourself?

Infinite: Eh, the Phantom Ruby's just acting up is all, it should be fine in a minute... [his body stops glitching] Now that's better.

Lien-Da: I'm quite concerned about your mental health, Infinite, I would advise you stop using the Phantom Ruby so much.

Infinite: [ignores her] Nah...

Snivley: Honestly, he relies on that thing more than Eggman relies on the Eggmobile!

Infinite: Do I have to send you to Null Space, Snivley?

Snivley: [gulps] No... [chuckles]

Infinite: That's what I thought.

Decoe: So, Dr. Eggman, do we have any big plans yet?

Bocoe: Yeah, you seem quite excited to destroy Sonic today.

Zavok: Yes, I'm gonna have to agree, as much as I'd rather destroy the hedgehog myself, the Deadly Six would rather have your input first.

Dr. Eggman: Not yet, for now, we'll just buy our time...

Morpho: Uh, okay, better come up with something soon then.

[The scene then cuts to a great day at Equestria, where the ponies are having their Festival of Friendship for the first time, a majority of the Freedom Fighters were also there, making sure everything was in check and nothing was going wrong, Spike could be seen running through crowds of ponies with piles of lists in his claws]

Spike: 'Scuse me! Dragon on the move! Important princess documents comin' through!

S04E26 Unnamed Earth Mare #1: Whoa! Everypony from Manehattan to Saddle Arabia is here!

Apple Cobbler: I know, filly! We almost couldn't book a stable!

Clear Skies: The Princesses of Harmony must have their hooves full with this giant Festival!

Female Pony 2: Are you kidding?! They're smart and organized and cool under pressure! There's nothing they can't handle! [the scene transitions to the castle]

Sonic: Love what they've done with the place.

Sapphire: Yeah, it almost looks like a entirely different place now.

Digit: Well, it did seem obvious the castle was gonna need renovations sooner or later.

[Spike rushes to the doors]

Sapphire: Let me get that for you. [opens the door]

Spike: Thanks, Sapphire! [rushes off]

Sonic: Why is he in such a hurry?

Tails: Well, he seemed to be carrying a few things, maybe it's something to do with the festival?

Sonic: Yeah, good point, still, I've gotta admit, this festival looks epic, everyone and their parents are wanna gonna come here.

Knuckles: That's because everybody is excited that today's the day that will be memorable! [pats Tails hard on the back]

[Inside the castle, the Mane Nine were about to go talk to the other princesses, with Twilight meditating to keep herself calm only to start stressing out again]

Twilight Sparkle: Ommmmm... Ohhhhhhh mmmmy goodness, I can't handle this! Ooh! Nothing is working! I just have to get it together! Just go in there! And ask! This is your Friendship Festival! Everypony's happiness rests in your hooves. [facehoofs] Ohhhh!

Applejack: Twilight, with all due respect, don't you think you're thinking a bit too hard.

Twilight Sparkle: Well, sorry for stressing out, but come on, we've been planning the Festival for months now.

Pinkie Pie: Relax, Twi, you're not doing it alone, you have us, remember?

Sunset Shimmer: Yeah, we do kinda have the same feelings as well, heh-heh.

Spike: Okay, Twilight. Got all your charts and graphs.

Twilight Sparkle: Oh, thank goodness you're here, Spike! I'm just so nervous about this meeting!

Spike: Whachoo talkin' 'bout?

Twilight Sparkle: [sighs] My friends and I are about to ask the three most royal princesses of Equestria for a huge favor! What if they reject us?

Starlight Glimmer: I mean, she does kinda have a point.

Trixie Lulamoon: Yeah.

Spike: It'll be fine. Just remember the most important thing.

Twilight Sparkle: Smile?!

Rarity: Wave?

Shine: Girls, don’t be such worrywarts. The princesses will be able to take part of your plan for the Friendship Festival.

Spike: Yeah, it shouldn't be that bad, presides, you nine are princesses, too.

Gem: Shine and Spike have a point. A true princess must stay calm under pressure, even when there’s something she cannot handle. So neither of you should worry too much.

Rainbow Dash: Yeah, Spike and our Jewel Pixie Animals are right, c'mon.

Twilight Sparkle: Right!

[The Mane Nine step into the throne room where Princess Celestia, Princess Luna and Princess Cadance are waiting for them]

Twilight Sparkle: [exhales] Good morning, Princesses. Thank you all for seeing us.

Sunset Shimmer: We have an idea that we think will make our Friendship Festival the most wonderful celebration Equestria has ever seen!

Princess Celestia: Yes, girls! We are very excited!

Princess Cadance: Ponies have been arriving from all over all morning.

Princess Luna: I'd like to think it's to see us, but Songbird Serenade might be the bigger attraction.

Pinkie Pie: Yes, she is the... "mane" event! [giggles]

Twilight Sparkle: And to make it extra special, we could use your help. Spike? [whiteboard wheeling in]

Spike: [humming fanfare]

Twilight Sparkle: Songbird Serenade's performance is not scheduled to start until after you begin the sunset. And based on my precise calculation, to get the very best lighting for the stage, Princess Celestia, we were hoping you could make sure the sun stays about 28.1º to the south.

Starlight Glimmer: And, Princess Luna, if you could raise the moon 62º to the north at the same time, it would reflect the sunlight on the other side and really frame the entire stage perfectly!

Princess Luna: I...

Rarity: But wait! There's more!

Pinkie Pie: Cadance, if you could use your crystal magic to create an aurora above the stage, the sun and the moon will shine through it and create a truly amazing light show!

Spike: Presenting Songbird Serenade! Yeah, yeah, yeah! Whoa-ho! Whoa! [bonk!] [weakly] Ta-da...

[Twilight and the others cover Spike and smile at the Princesses with hope. Celestia, Luna and Cadance look at them with surprised looks on their faces]

Princess Luna: So you're saying you want us to move the sun and the moon for the party.

Trixie Lulamoon: Well, we'd do it ourselves, except we don't have your magic. [snorts]

Princess Celestia: Girls, each of us uses our powers to serve Equestria in our own way. You are the Princesses of Harmony. You nine already have all the magic you need.

[The Mane Nine looked at eachother in confusion[

Twilight Sparkle: So... that'd be a no?

[Meanwhile, back at the party]

Sonic: [running fleely on the clouds with butterfly wings] Woo-hoo! [kicks the cloud away] That's right, sky will be clear in no time!

Tails: Great work there. Everything must be perfect just like Twilight expected it to be

Knuckles: [punches a cloud away] And making sure Twilight doesn't go too crazy with stress and worry.

Sonic: Keep up the good work, guys. This festival needs to be perfect like what Twilight wanted and expected it to be

Tails: I mean, with a good third of the Freedom Fighters popping in to help, we should be done in no time!

[Amy is doing the bows of the stage]

Perci: It's a perfect day for a festival

Mina Mongoose: The Festival of Friendship!

Tunette: Excellent focus, Amy. These bows on the stage need to be perfectly decorated.

Amy Rose: [giggles] Of course.

[Cream flies over with Cheese]

Cream: You're doing great so Miss Rose.

Cheese: Chao-chao.

Tunette: Not too fast, not too slow, and not too hasty.

Charmy: It's a good idea that Applejack is making her delicious apple cider as drinks for the festival.

Vector: Uh-huh, Charmy!

Mighty: I mean, it's not much, but it's honest work.

Espio: Hey Tails, want some of Applejack's apple cider?

Tails: [flies down, wiping the sweat off] Thanks Espio! [drinks his cup of apple cider]

[Applejack]

But you don't have to do it on your own

[Pinkie Pie]

'Cause you've got friends right here to make it fun

[Mane Five]

We got this, you got this

We got this together

Twilight Sparkle: Huh?

Spike: Whoa!

[Rainbow Dash]

Sometimes the pressure gets you down

And the clouds are dark and grey

Just kick them off and let the sun shine through

And scary as it seems, more help is on the way

'Cause friends have friends that wanna help out, too

[Rainbow Dash and Wonderbolts]

We got this, you got this

We got this together

[Crowd]

It's the Festival of Friendship

And we can get it done

A festival that they won't forget

A party to be proud of

A day of games and fun

Just you wait and see

If you need help, we've got your back

You can be honest, let your problems be known

[Applejack and Apple family]

'Cause you got us to pick up the slack

We got this

[Big McIntosh]

Eeyup!

[Apple family]

We got this together

[Rarity]

Pay attention to the details

Every gem even-spaced

Make the colors perfect

Takin' one or two to taste

[Rarity]

Inside and out, beautiful throughout

Generosity is what we're all about

[Spike]

[mouthful] You got this

[Rarity]

You got this

[Rarity and Spike]

We got this together

[Twilight Sparkle]

Today needs to be perfect, it all comes down to me

I don't know if I'm ready

For all the things they need me to be

I am the Princess of Friendship

But that is more than just a crown

It's a promise to bring ponies together

And never let anypony down

[Pinkie Pie]

We've got an awful lot to bake

Each pony needs a piece of cake

Oh, wait! There's something better we can do

We're gonna need some more supplies

To make a really big surprise

She'll be so shocked—she's sure to love it, too!

You got this!

We got this together!

[All]

It's the Festival of Friendship

Together we are one

A day we will never forget

And now everything is ready

So when the day is done

[Rainbow Dash]

The weather

[Applejack]

The banquet

[Rarity]

The style

[Fluttershy]

And music

[All]

All will be in perfect harmony!

[As the song ends, a giant cake shoots out of a giant cannon into the air and falls on top of Twilight, covering her in frosting before melting down to the ground]

Twilight Sparkle: [gasps, yells, groans] [ponies gasping]

Shine: Oh my.

Twilight Sparkle: [annoyed] Pinkie!

FriendBot: [amused] 10/10!

Discord: Eh, more like a 7 at best.

Sonic: Twilight, you okay?

Twilight Sparkle: Yeah, I'm fine.

[A candle lands on top of her horn as Pinkie pokes out of the cannon]

Pinkie Pie: Oopsie! Guess my easy bake confetti cake cannon needs a little bit more fine tuning!

Shadow: You think?

Sir Charles Hedgehog: Well, still better than what usually happens with us.

Twilight Sparkle: [nickers] Hmmm...

Mina Mongoose: Songbird Serenade? Is it really her? It is, it is!

[Songbird Serenade and her helpers trot into view]

Songbird Serenade: Hiya. I'm lookin' for the pony in charge?

[She poses for photos from pony photographers]

Songbird Serenade: I need to set up for my sound check.

Twilight Sparkle: Uh, Songbird Serenade? Um, I was just going to check on you. [laughs nervously] I'm Princess Twilight, and sorry about the mess. I'm usually not so... [accidentally flings frosting onto Songbird's shirt]

Songbird Serenade: Caked in cake?

Twilight Sparkle: Heh heh.

Songbird Serenade's Agent: You have visual on buttercream?

Songbird Serenade's Bodyguard: Visual confirmed. Go for cleanup.

The Storm King's Army Attacks/Enter Tempest Shadow/The Heroes Escape/The Adventure Begins
[Just then, a thundering noise is heard and everypony looks up to see storm clouds gathering in the sky]

Rotor: What the?!

Shine: [worried] Huh?

Twilight Sparkle: [gasps] Storm clouds? I ordered perfect weather! Rainbow Dash?!

Rainbow Dash: Uh... I... don't think those are storm clouds.

Digit: That's strange, I don't remember seeing these kinds of clouds this morning.

Tails: Yeah, something about these clouds doesn't feel right. [grabs his Miles Electric] Better scan and figure this out.

[Then two lightning bolts symbols appears as a airship came into view from the black mist]

Eclipse: What is that?!

Shade: An Airship?

Pinkie Pie: Ooh! I bet those are the clowns I ordered!

Sweetie: You think so?

Gmerl: I highly doubt it.

[Then the airship lands on top of the sires, breaking them. One of them even lands on a clown stand, breaking it and deflating balloons]

Pinkie Pie: ...Or definitely not the clowns I ordered.

Gmerl: Knew it.

[The airship landed on the edge of Canterlot and it's ramp squash a balloon animal deflating it, much to Party Favour's shock and horror]

Party Favor: Brian, no!

Emerl: What is this?

Starlight Glimmer: Uh, Tails, we kinda need to know what's going here...

Tails: [worried] I'm trying Starlight, but these readings for this storm are all messed up, they don't make any sense!

[Then, a silhouette appears in the airship. Everyone look as a small grey creature with a white tuft of hair came walking down the ramp, holding a speaker box. Celestia, Luna and Cadance watch from the castle balcony as the hedgehog put the box down which opens up to reveal a loudspeaker]

Grubber: [breathing and grunting] [microphone feedback] [clears throat, voice echoing] Ponies of Equestria, we come on behalf of the fearsome, the powerful, the almighty...Storm King!

[A banner rolls down revealing The Storm King, a white satyr like creature with blue eyes and two black horns on his head. The ponies started to get scared by this]

[ponies cowering and whispering]

Sally Acorn: The Storm King?

Sonic: The Storm King? Who's The Storm King?

Sapphire: Don't ask me. I've never heard of him.

Grubber: And now, to deliver the evil, evil message, put your hooves together for Commander Tempeeeest!

[A dark orchid unicorn with her armor, her mane and tail are all moderate rose and she has a broken horn and a scar on her right eye appears and indeed it was... Tempest Shadow]

Twilight Sparkle: Is that a... unicorn?

Spike: I think so, but what happened to her horn?

Trixie Lulamoon: I don't know.

Antoine: Me thinks it broke, I mean, it does kinda look like it, doesn't it?

Nicole: Yeah, it does, good eye, Antoine.

Bunnie Rabbot: What do they even want?

Knuckles: I don't know, but considering that hedgehog thing said evil, it can't be good.

Ruby: Indeed, but let's not react on impulse.

[Celestia, Luna and Cadance fly down from the balcony and land in front of the crowd of ponies]

Princess Celestia: "Tempest" is it? How may we help you?

Tempest Shadow: Oh, I'm so glad you asked. How about we start with your complete and total surrender?

Twilight Sparkle: [shows up with the rest of the Mane Nine] Hi there. Princesses of Harmony.

Sunset Shimmer: Not exactly sure what's going on, but I know we can talk things out.

Fauna: Uh, girls?

Shine: What are you doing?

Gleam: We don't know what we're in for yet.

Starlight Glimmer: Shh, let us handle this.

Tempest Shadow: Oh, goody. All twelve Princesses. Here's the deal, ladies. I need your magic. Give it up nicely, please, or we make it difficult for everyone!

Princess Luna: And why should we cower before you? There's one of you and hundreds of us.

Mina Mongoose: Yeah Tempest, you’re out numbered!

Sonar: That's right.

Razor: Yeah, presides, I'm not sure if you can notice, but you're pretty looking at the Freedom Fighters of Knothole here.

Shadow: Indeed, retreat at once, and no one gets hurt!

Tempest Shadow: [chuckles] I was hoping you'd choose "difficult".

[The storm creatures appear as more ships show up as well]

[Everyone runs around panicking]

Sonic: Wha?!

Twilight Sparkle: [gasps]

Princess Cadance: [gasps]

Sonic: Okay, yeah, I'm not about to let a invasion ruin today, Freedom Fighters, let's do it to it!

Shadow: [facepalms] Really? One of your old catchphrases?

Sonic: Hey, it's a classic, or would you prefer "Hasta La Vista, Mistah!"

Shadow: Only you would make a joke at a time like this.

Sonic: Yeah, sorry, heh-heh, but seriously, let's move out!

[Team Sonic and the Freedom Fighters charge at the Storm Creatures, fighting back, they were not about to let Equestria fall to a hostile takeover]

Zooey: [hitting a storm guard with a frying pan] Where are these things coming from?!

Chip: I don't know, but don't let your guard down! [puts a shield up]

Sally Acorn: [slashing through several storm guards with her ring blades] Back off!

Knuckles: [punching several storm guards before noticing the alicorn princesses just standing there, watching in horror] Uh, aren't you twelve gonna help?

Twilight Sparkle: Huh, oh yeah, sure, just give us a minute. [blasts a storm guard with her magic]

Pinkie Pie: Just a lot to take in, is all.

Knuckles: If you say so. [runs off]

Kyle: Take this! [knocks several storm creatures away]

[The battle was fierce, though it was clear the Storm King's army were at a advantage, there were a lot more minions than usual and most of the city was getting damaged]

Amy Rose: [knocks down a storm guard with her hammer] How can there be so many?!

Perci: I don't know, there's too many to count.

Omega: Worthless consumer models! Annihilate! [blasts several storm guards]

Sonic: [homing attacks several storm guards before noticing Tempest bring out four obsidian orbs] Hmm?

Tempest Shadow: Okay, let's see.. [she looks at the Princesses, then eyes Cadance] Hope you enjoy being a statue, Princess of Love!

Sonic: [realizes what Tempest was about to do] Uh-oh.

[Tempest throws one of the orbs at Cadance]

Sonic: [starts using the Sonic Boost technique] Cadance, look out! [manages to get Cadance out of the way before the obsidian orb hit her]

Tempest Shadow: What?!

Sonic: Ha, looks like you're too slow! [runs off with Cadance in his arms] You alright Princess?

Princess Cadance: I'm fine, thanks for the save.

Sonic: No problem, I wasn't about to let one of the princesses of Equestria get turned to stone! Also, do you think I talk about velocity too much, I don't wanna annoy anymore, but it's important to stay on brand. [stops near Team Chaotix, Shining Armor, and Flurry-Heart]

Espio: You took one heck of a risk doing that, Sonic.

Sonic: Nah, not really. [puts Cadance down] Anyways, Shining, Chaotix, keep Cadance safe, I'm gonna try and help Tails and the others. [runs off]

Charmy: You got it, Sonic.

Shining Armor: [to Cadance] Are you okay?

Princess Cadance: Yeah, don't worry about it.

[Espio slashes through several storm guards with his kunai]

Vector: Way to go, Espio!

[Tempest runs towards the Princesses]

Princess Celestia: Luna, quick! Go south beyond the Badlands!

Princess Luna: Hmph!

[Tempest kicks the next orb at Celestia]

Princess Celestia: Seek help from the Queen of the Hippo- [gasps as she sees the orb flying towards her]

Shadow: Chaos Spear! [fires Chaos Spear at the orb, blowing it up] You're safe now, Princess.

Princess Celestia: But what about my sister?

Knuckles: Already on it! [jumps up and hits the orb heading to Luna with a well timed punch, sending it flying into orbit]

[ding]

Ruby: How did that not break on impact?

Princess Luna: Beats me.

[Tempest throws the last orb at the Mane Nine, but Blaze quickly destroy it with her flames]

Blaze: Nice try!

Pearl: Nice one!

Tempest Shadow: Oh come on!

Rainbow Dash: Let's get out of here!

Rotor: The army's getting too big, we need to get out of here while we still can!

Sally Acorn: Right, Freedom Fighters, fall back!

Sonic: Yeah, come on, let's blow this popsicle stand! [runs off]

Tempest Shadow: [groans angrily] Grubber, get them now!

Grubber: Guys, we gotta get the ponies!

[Sonic and Shadow quickly gather their friends and their allies before heading towards the bridge]

Applejack: Over here, y'all.

Twilight Sparkle: Come on!

Maria: The bridge, we can make it!

[The storm creatures and the villains blocks the heroes' paths, Twilight fires her magic to hit the storm guards but one of them blocks it with a shield]

Twilight Sparkle: What?!

Tails: Magic proof shields?!

Star Swirl the Bearded: They've thought of everything!

Charmy: Well, there's always the other way?! [more storm creatures block the way back] Huh?

Vector: Way to go, Charmy.

[Some of the heroes stared in disbelief, not knowing what to do, others like Fluttershy and Cream were crying, scared to death, Knuckles looked down]

Knuckles: New plan!

Sonic: What?

[Knuckles punches the bridge, but this only causes the part of the bridge to collapse]

Sonic: [dumbfonded; then faceplams]

Twilight Sparkle: [annoyed] Are you KIDDING ME?!?

Knuckles: What? [looks down] Oh... [facepalms] (Agh! You Knucklehead!)

[Everyone falls but Sonic manages to briefly keep himself airborn with his speed before tiring himself out, he then shrugged before falling like the others and landing in the river]

Heroes: [gasp for air]

Knuckles: Yeah, that wasn't the smartest idea.

Honey: Oh really, ya think?!

Sonic: Well at least we sa- [notices no land nearby; to Celestia] Please tell me this doesn't go over a waterfall...

Princess Celestia: Uh...

[Everyone screams again as they plunge over the waterfall]

[Grubber looks down after them]

Grubber: Which one of you guys is going down there?

[The Storm Creatures hesitate]

Grubber: [sighs] I would, but I just had a hearty meal, and I will think and I will side-cramp. I'm very big-boned. I think quick.

[Unknowingly to Tempest, Infinite had watched the whole scene unfold]

Infinite: Interesting... [grabs a communicator] Eggman, did you see any of that?

Dr. Eggman: You bet I did, I have no idea who this Storm King is, but I bet he'd be a wonderful person to work with.

Lien-Da: Says the guy who was betrayed by Tirek.

Dr. Eggman: Oh, be quiet, anyways, Infinite, report back to the lair at once.

Infinite: Very well, doctor... [warps away]

[Meanwhile at the river far away from Canterlot, Applejack's hat is seen floating down the water. It floats to the shore where Applejack picks it up with her mouth and puts it on her head]

Rarity: [catching her breath]

Tails: [coughs out some water out of his throat]

Sonic: Everybody okay?

Applejack: Seems like it.

Cream: I'm alright, Cheese is fine too.

Cheese: Chao-chao.

Caramel: Sure. [coughs] That was a close one.

Vanilla: Yes, too close actually.

[Shadow shakes his body to shake the water off of him. Moonlight did the same as well]

Gem: I'm such a soaking mess. I just combed my feathers last night!

Emerl: Yeah, and I'm kinda glad me and the other members of Team Robot are waterproof, otherwise, me, Shard, Heavy, Bomb, Mighton, Bolts, FriendBot, Gmerl, Omega, Gamma, and D-Fekt would've ceased to function.

Maria: And honestly, how we didn't all get killed is a miracle!

Knuckles: What was that all about?!

Pinkie Pie: I know, we just got our cupcakes handed to us by the worst party crashers ever!

Rainbow Dash: She's right, we can't just stand around, we've gotta get back up there.

Zooey: Are you crazy?! We nearly all got captured back there.

Spike: Yeah, presides, you saw the size of those goons. You seriously wanna go back?

Gmerl: Well, we can't do nothing, we have to stop those things from taking over our home!

Applejack: Like what? We can't hide here forever.

Eclipse: Plus, this whole ordeal has been too much already...

Cream: Yeah... [through tears] The poor citizens... [sniffles] Why couldn't we save all of them?! [Cheese and Caramel comfort her]

Amy Rose: Don't worry, Cream, we'll find a way to rescue the others, I promise.

Tunette: But how? Going back there without a plan would be reckless!

Sally Acorn: No kidding, but what do we do?

Sonic: Not sure, but, we'll find of something to save the day, right Twilight? [gets no reply] Twilight? [notices Twilight sitting by herself by the river; worried] Uh, Twilight, you okay, buddy?

Twilight Sparkle: [through tears] I guess. But. All that planning for the festival. All that hard work we did for nothing.

Shine: [sighs] Oh, Twilight...

Storm: [holding Jewel] Does this mean I don't get to keep the talking gem?

Jewel: I'm a beetle.

Storm: Oh, never mind then. [puts her down]

Jet: How did you not notice, Storm?

Princess Celestia: [comforts Twilight] Even if the Friendship Festival didn't turn out the way you and your friends wanted due to the invasion, you still did great at there.

Princess Luna: Yeah, and we're proud of you for that.

Twilight Sparkle: [sighs; wipes off the tears] Thanks...

Vector: So, do we sit around and do nothing, or are we gonna go safe the world like we always do?

Moon Dancer: I think so, we just need a moment to think.

Princess Celestia: I suggest that all of us go look for the queen. The queen of the Hippogriffs.

Shadow: Huh, is that what you were trying to tell Luna before I had to save you from getting petrified? You're welcome for that by the way, Princess.

Princess Celestia: Yes, that's what I'm saying to Luna, Shadow.

Thorax: So, where can we find these... Hippogriffs.

Princess Celestia: They're somewhere south, past the Badlands.

Starlight Glimmer: Oh, that's good to kn- Wait what?!

Fluttershy: That means we'll have to... leave Equestria. Oh!

Shadow: Sounds reasonable.

D-Fekt: Wouldn't we be risking our lives if we go to the badlands though?!

Rarity: I'm not even packed!

[panicked and confused screaming]

Sonic: Calm down guys!

Twilight Sparkle: Look, I understand you're scared, and nopony else has to go if they don't want to. But we have to find this queen. She might be our only hope.

Sonic: And Rarity, this is serious business! There's no need for packing!

Gem: He's got a point, Rarity.

Knuckles: I mean, we don't even know what the Storm King wants the alicorn magic for? Sure it's most likely total world domination, but there's gotta be something more to his motives...

Rouge: That's like, the smartest thing I've ever heard you say.

Cream: Well, no matter what happens, we're all in this together, right?

[Everybody nodded in agreement]

Sonic: Right, I mean, I think you know I'd never back down from a adventure.

Tails: I'm sure that if we all stay together, we'll make it there in once piece!

Vector: If you guys are going out of Equestria, count all of us in this new adventure! Manic: I mean, we can't just let Team Sonic and the Mane Nine have all the fun, after all.

Sonic: [chuckles] Very funny.

Twilight Sparkle: Alright, let's see... We're suppose to head south, right?

Princess Celestia: Yes, we are.

Espio: In that case, let's not waste anymore time!

Rarity: I am ready to save Equestria!

Fluttershy: Yay.

Knuckles: Alright then, let's go!

Sonic: [confidently] Alright, together then

Pinkie Pie: Hehe! Whee! [giggles] Whee! Boingy-boingy-boingy-boingy-boingy! Anypony up for a game of "I Spy"?

All: [groan]

Knuckles: This isn't the time for fun and games, Pinkie!

Pinkie Pie: No, really! Come on! I spy with my little eye something that is orange. No takers? It's you, Applejack! [giggles]

Gmerl: Yeesh, the journey just started an she already wants to play I Spy?

Gamma: It's Pinkie, what do you expect?

Soar: Gamma has a point, the least we can do is roll with it.

[They head on, on what might be their biggest adventure yet]

Tempest contacts the Storm King/In the Desert/Meeting Capper
[Meanwhile, the storm creatures are rounding up the ponies in Canterlot and enslaving them in muzzles and chains. A Storm creature cuts the balloon strings, sending the balloons flying up into the sky towards the castle balcony where Tempest watch them float past her]

Tempest Shadow: All this power wasted on parties when there are far greater uses.

[She enters the castle throne room when two Storm Creatures approach, one of them clutching a glowing blue orb]

Tempest Shadow: Well? Answer it!

[The Storm Creature open the cork and pours the blue orb into a basin and a blue mist starts to form a hologram revealing the Storm King, who had his back turned, much to her annoyance]

The Storm King: Where am I supposed to be looking? I never understand how this spell works. Tempest!

Tempest Shadow: Over here, Your Excellency.

The Storm King: Where?

Tempest Shadow: Over here.

The Storm King: Huh?

Tempest Shadow: No. No, right. Look right.

The Storm King: My right?

Tempest Shadow: Yep.

The Storm King: Oh. There you are. Here's the deal. I'm in the middle of a big re-brand here. "The Storm King" is tracking well as "intensely intimidating", but you know what? I need to back it up. You know what I need to back it up with? A storm! That would be great! You promised me magic that could control the elements, and right now, I'm holding a what? A branch. A twig. Bleh!

Tempest Shadow: Uh, that would be the Staff of Sacanas, Your Excellency, and it will...

The Storm King: Mm-hmm?

Tempest Shadow: ...channel the magic of the twelve rulers of this land.

The Storm King: Mm-hmmmm?

Tempest Shadow: You'll soon have the power of a hundred armies.

The Storm King: So that would be a yes on your locking down the twelve Pegacornicuseses, or whatever you call them?

Tempest Shadow: Give me three days. I'll have everything ready for your arrival.

The Storm King: [ominous] Remember, Tempest. Only I have the power to make you whole. Make this twig work, and you'll get your reward. Fail me, and your horn won't be the only thing that's broken.

Tempest Shadow: It won't be a problem.

The Storm King: [upbeat] Great! [warbling] I'm ready to power up, crash and bash, and be the biggest, baddest bugaloooooo...

[The hologram disappears]

Grubber: Sorry, bad cell service. You want me to call him back?

Tempest Shadow: Do you have the Princesses?

Grubber: Well, uh, funny story. It kinda seems like they... they might've like, you know, got away... a little bit.

[Tempest narrows her eyes disappointingly at Grubber]

I know you're disappointed, but I got one word for you: "spongecake".

[Tempest zaps Grubber with her magic]

Grubber: [screams]

Tempest Shadow: I need them for the staff to work.

Grubber: Hey, I know! I want the Storm King to fix that crazy horn as badly as you do. It lookth like a crackly chipped tooth on the top of your head. And you know you don't look good in hats.

Tempest Shadow: Those Princesses are not gonna keep me from getting my horn back! Prepare my ship!

Grubber: Ihhh!

Tempest Shadow: Please. How far could they get on their own?

[Meanwhile, the heroes are walking in a desert, feeling exhausted and thirsty from the heat of the hot sun]

Pinkie Pie: [panting] There's sand in my... everything... Heh... Saving... Equestria... [demented laugh] Oh! Look! Maybe this guy knows which way to go! What's that, friend? We're lost? [demented laugh, coughs, faints]

Discord: [tired and sweating] I can’t feel my everything....

Sonic: [panting and sweating] My... Feet are so sore from the walking... When will we rest?

Amy Rose: [wipes the sweat off her forehead] It’s even hotter than Applejack’s pancakes, no offence.

Applejack: None taken, sugarcube.

Silver: I can’t feel my feet...

Vector: [tiredly and sweating] Too... much... walking.... I'm getting... sand in... my shoes....

Mina Mongoose: [panting] How.. long have we... been walking...

Shard the Metal Sonic: Not sure... [looks at the sky] But I'm pretty sure my circuits are gonna fry soon if we don't get out of this heat.

Rouge: [panting] The heat of this desert is making me sweaty...

Cream: Yeah... How far is the nearest town from here?

Charmy: We should've fly through the desert so we won't get tried easily....

Cheese: Chao-chao...

Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Spike: [panting]

Spike: We could be going in... circles! Endless... sand... [inhales] Nothin' for miles... but sand... [breathes] and this rock... [coughs] and this cactus... [breathes] and this roooooooooaaaaaad.... [breathes, faints, breathes] ...this rooooooad....

Twilight Sparkle: Hmm? A road?

[A town lays ahead of them in the distance]

Spike: Whoa!

Rainbow Dash: Cool!

Applejack: What is that?

Pinkie Pie: Oooh! A city! [scoffs] We are doing it, you guys!

Echo: Finally, we're getting somewhere!

Rarity: You know what they say: where there's a city, there's a spa!

Rainbow Dash: Who says that?

Honey: Yeah, we're kinda on a mission to save Equestria as we know it here.

Amy Rose: Yeah, there's no time to go do something fun. [to herself] Sadly.

Rarity: I can multitask. [bird squawking]

Tunette: [sternly] Now Rarity, we can relax at the spa AFTER we find the queen and the hippogriffs.

[Sapphire uses his pixie dust to create a rain-like shower to cool the heroes off]

Sonic: You know you could've done that at anytime, right?

Sapphire: Yeah, sorry.

Tails: It's alright.

Ruby: Feeling all cooled off, everyone?

Knuckles: Yes, much better.

Silver: Thanks for the shower magic, Sapphire.

Salt: Yeah, thanks.

Sapphire: No problem.

Rarity: Oh, that’s so much better!

Amy Rose: Yeah!

Shadow: Now that everyone's cooled off, let's continue.

[They head towards Klugetown. A bird flies into it when a rope drops over it and pulls down into a cage where two pig like creatures are holding it]

Sonic: Wow... I've never been here before.

Sapphire: Yeah...

Knuckles: That's because this place is beyond Equestria.

Ruby: No kidding.

Storm: Uh... [to Jet] Have we been here before, boss?

Jet: Not really, but it does interesting, I'll admit.

Fang: Eh, I've seen better, but hey, it's something.

Bean: Yeah. [to Jet] Wanna go explore, Jettison?

Jet: Why do you keep calling me that?

Wave: This place is pretty new to me.

Mina Mongoose: Me too.

Sticks: Yeah, I pretty sure none of have been here.

Perci: We better stick together while we explore this place so that we don't get separated.

Vector: Either way, let's explore this strange place!

Pig Creature 1: Don't worry, little one, we'll let ya go!

Pig Creature 2: To the highest bidder!

Pig Creatures: [laugh]

Pig Creature 1: Nice!

[The group of heroes enter the town, feeling relieved but scared by the rough dirty atmosphere among the residents]

Vendor 1: Ooh. Hey! You with the horn, you selling?

[Twilight hurries on. Fluttershy saw the birds in cages on a table, feeling sorry for them]

Antoine: Uh...

Fluttershy: Oh...

[birds squawking loudly]

Fluttershy: Ooh!

Antoine: Oh my gosh.

Twilight Sparkle: Hi there! Ooh, I'm sorry. Here. Lemme help you with that.

[She uses her magic to lift the barrels onto a cart. A golden furred cat wearing a red coat and a purple turf of hair on his head watch this from a bar stand nearby]

Pushkin: Hey! No magic around my merchandise!

Mane Nine: [scream]

[The ponies ran away from the turtle like creature, frightened. The cat looks at them, pondering with interest]

Capper: Hmmm... Very interesting...

Twilight Sparkle: Okay. We just gotta stick together. Be careful who you talk to. And try to blend in.

Shadow: Yeah, don't do anything stupid that would attract unwanted attention.

Espio: They're right, we've never been here before and we can't afford to waste time.

Omega: Affirmative.

Sonic: [whispers] You got it!

Tails: Better stay quiet and blend in until we're out of here...

Pinkie Pie: Can I have your attention please?!

Bark: [groans] Seriously?

Pinkie Pie: Can anypony take us to the Queen of the Hippogriffs?!

Mori: You want something? You gotta give something!

Pinkie Pie: Well, how about a big warm hug from a grateful pony friend?

[honk]

Pinkie Pie: How about this comb that I've never used? A picture of my sister Maud? This breath mint? Seriously, buddy. Help me help you.

Pig Creature 1: [belches]

Staci: Well, that escalated quickly.

Big: Yeah.

Knuckles: Pinkie, you can't just take off! [through clenched teeth] And you don't need to announce to every...

Pinkie Pie: Relax, Knux! I totally got this!

Scootaloo: Yeah, go easy on her, Knuckles, she's just to trying to get help. [notices a crowd staring over the group] Oh...

Sonic: Uh... Meow?

Louise: How much for the giant gecko?

Mane Six: Huh?

Spike: Who you callin' a gecko?

Twilight Sparkle: Uh, Spike isn't for sale.

Vera: I want that fancy purple hair! I'll give ya two storm bucks for it!

Rarity: Two storm bucks?! It's worth more than that!

Cream: Storm bucks? Is that like this place's currency or something?

Princess Cadance: Wish I knew.

Twilight Sparkle: Heh?

[The creatures continue to bid on who will get what, unaware that the cat is watching from a streetway and grins, putting a paw to his chin]

Silver: [dismayed; to Pinkie] Why would you do that?!

Bunnie Rabbot: Didn't you hear Shadow and Twilight when they said not to attract unwanted attention.

Pinkie Pie: Yeah, I may not have been listening, heh-heh, sorry.

Sweetie: Well, at least you're honest about it.

Sunset Shimmer: Yeah, but what do we do now?

Fauna: I don't know.

Deer Creature: Gimme that pink one!

Pig Creature 1: I'll take the blue one!

Pig Creature 2: No! I want the blue one!

Louise: I need that lizard!

Creature 1: I'll take that picture of your sister!

Deer Creature: I want all seven for my collection!

Sweetie Belle: Hey, leave us away!

Thorax: This is getting awkward.

Apple Bloom: What do we do?

Princess Luna: Just stay calm, we'll figure out something.

Gamma: Can someone just make them stop already before anything else happens?!

Capper: Back up, everyone! Back it up! Y'all in some serious danger! Now you didn't touch any of them, did you? Just look at all those colors! You think that's natural? They're infected with "pastelis coloritis".

[creatures gasping]

Amy Rose: Excuse me?

Applejack: Now, you listen here, fella, there ain't—

Capper: Don't worry, don't worry, as long as you're not covered in purple splotches, you'll be fine. Uh-oh.

Fish Creature: [gasps] What do I do?!

Capper: Enjoy your last moments and don't touch anyone. Because parts will fall off.

Fish Creature: [screams] Me parts!

Vera: [gasps]

[The creatures all ran off in fright, leaving Capper and the heroes alone in the street]

Capper: Well, all right. [purrs]

Rotor: Uh, thanks for the save, I guess...

Rainbow Dash: That was awesome!

Capper: Mm-hm.

Rarity: And quite charming. [giggles]

Spike: Huh!

Sonic: That was amazing! Thanks.

D-Fekt: Yeah, thanks er- Uh... name please?

Shining Armor: Yeah, who are you?

Capper: Capper's the name. Charming's my game. So... to the Hippogriffs, then?

Pinkie Pie: [laughs]

Shadow: [suspicious] I don't know if we should trust him or not, I mean, I'm glad he helped us and everything, but, trusting strangers, I don't know, anyone agree?

Rainbow Dash: Lighten up, Shadow. He saved us!

Espio: Eh, I don't trust Capper either.

Blaze: Neither do I.

Charmy: Come on, guys. We should trust him, he's not that bad.

Pinkie Pie: Presides, we could definitely use a friend out here!

Capper: You know what? Little Cotton Candy Hair is right. And, if I do say so myself...

I'm The Friend You Need/Tempest in Kludgetown/Leaving Kludgetown
[Capper]

This town is not a nice place

For little fillies all alone

There are lots of twists and corners

That could lead to the unknown

Let me guide your way

And I'll be sure to help you through

You could really use a friend out here

And luckily for you...

I'm the friend that you need

When you're lost and don't know what to do

I'm your pal, your amigo

Useful and resourceful, too

And my help, you'll concede

Is a plus guaranteed

You can call and I'll come running

Just follow my lead

'Cause I'm the friend you need!

[Klugetown Wool-Seller]

He's a friend

Scaly Klugetowner: Quite a friend!

[Klugetowners]

He's a friend indeed!

[chomp]

[Capper]

You need a bud to spot the danger

A pal to stop the creep

A chum and not a stranger to assist

You need a bro who is cunning

That can help you take the leap

A friend who knows what's lying in the mist

Don't fear these darkened alleys

They're scary, yes, I know

Why, you could use a friend

To protect you wherever you go

And such a dazzling beauty

Covered in dirt and muck

But now your fate is changing

Now you are in luck

'Cause I'm the friend that you need

When you're lost and don't know what to do

I'm your pal, your amigo

Lookin' out for friends like you

And my help, you'll concede

Is a plus guaranteed

Just call and I'll come running

We'll say it's agreed...

[to Needy] Here. Tell Verko, "My place, twenty minutes." I've got something that will "magically" erase all my debt.

'Cause I'm the friend you need!

[Ponies, Team Sonic, and Freedom Fighters]

He's a friend

Rarity: Quite a friend!

[Ponies, Team Sonic, and Freedom Fighters except Twilight Sparkle, Shadow, Espio, and Blaze]

He's a friend indeed!

Twilight Sparkle: [sighs] Alright, I'm convinced, we'll trust you, for now.

Capper: Thank you my friend.

Espio: But just get this, one sign of a doublecross, and we'll be out of here faster than you can say meow.

Capper: Welcome, my good heroes, to my little manor.

Rarity: Ooh! A sort of a roco-hobo-Bohemian hodgepodge.

Snowdrop I like your place.

Antoine: Hmm, I've seen bigger.

Sonar: Yeah, not really anything special.

Cream: Well, I think it's great.

Caramel: Yeah!

Discord: Of course you would.

Capper: Apologies for the state of my litter box. I wasn't expecting guests.

Big: Understandable.

[Soon, everyone takes a good look around]

Pinkie Pie: Ooh! So many fun breakables!

Rainbow Dash: Whoa!

Applejack: [chuckles]

[Rarity looks at a portrait of a general with a picture of Capper's face on it. Twilight look at some books on the shelves below the stairs]

Capper: Y'all sure y'all want the Hippogriffs?

Pinkie Pie: Yessirree!

Sweetie: The Queen of the Hippogriffs!

Capper: Not like the Queen of the Lions, or Tigers, or Bears?

Fluttershy: Oh, my!

Twilight Sparkle: [notices a strange book] Huh?

Fang: Is something wrong, mate?

Twilight Sparkle: No, but, I found this. [levitates the book]

Tails: Huh, do you think we should look at it?

Jet: Well, as long as we're here, I mean it's not like Tempest is out there looking for us, right?

[Back at the marketplace, the Storm Creatures are wrecking the stalls, trying to find out where the ponies and the others are, much to the creatures' frightful horror]

Vera: [screaming]

Toothy Klugetowner: Please! Please! I don't know anything! [screams]

Grubber: You really think the ponies got thith far?

[Tempest notices a piece of Pinkie's tail hair on a piece of wood]

Tempest Shadow: [sniffs] Oh, they're here. Attention! A little purple pony passed this way. Tell me where she is...

Grubber: ...or something real bad is gonna happen. [squeaks]

Mori: You think we're gonna fall for this again? I don't know what kinda scam you're workin' with Capper and the rest of your friends, but--

Tempest Shadow: "Friends?"

Mori: Poison or no poison, you're gonna pay!

Tempest Shadow: [grunts]

Mori: [groans]

Grubber: Ohhhh, Fishman just got dropped!

Tempest Shadow: Now...

Mori: Ihhhh...

Tempest Shadow: About this... "Capper"...

[horn charges up]

["The Girl from Ipanema" playing]

[Girls and Capper laughing]

Capper: Stop playin' me! A sonic rainboom? That's not a real thang! Is that a real thing?

[Now we go back to Capper's place where we hear the heroes laughing]

Capper: Stop playin' me! A sonic rainboom? That's not a real thang! Is that a real thing?

Rainbow Dash: I'll show ya!

Shadow: Out of the question, Rainbow Dash!

Capper: Naw-naw-naw, I don't need you sonic "rainbooming" up in my place, thank you very much.

Weather: Presides, you can only do the sonic rainboom outside.

[Rarity levitates the tip of Capper's coat]

Capper: Whoa, hey, hold up now.

[She fixes Capper's coat with a needle and thread and put two gold buttons on his shirtfront, much to his surprise]

Capper: Whoa.

Rarity: Here you go. I do apologize. If we were back home, I could've done something truly fabulous.

Capper: Okay... What's the catch?

Rarity: Nothing. After all that you've done for us, consider it a "thank you".

Capper: Oh. Uh, don't thank me. Really. [feels guilty by this act of kindness and for his actions]

Cream: But we insist, Mr. Capper. Only a true friend would be reliable enough to be trustworthy.

Cheese: Chao-chao.

Twilight Sparkle: Well, thanks for everything Capper, but you should probably know why we're looking for the Hippogriffs.

Capper: Okay, why?

Princess Celestia: You see, the Storm King just invaded Canterlot and we're currently on our way to Mount Aris to ask them to help.

Capper: Mount Aris? Oh, that's actually somewhat nearby.

Pinkie Pie: Oh, you mean that mountain right outside the window?

[They can see Mount Aris in the distance]

Star Swirl the Bearded: That was easy to find.

Stygian: Indeed, quite convenient actually.

Sonic: [chuckles] I guess you could say it's- Plot convenience! [laughs] Get it? [silence] Aw...

Gleam: Well, at least we know we're heading the right way now!

Starlight Glimmer: Yeah, that's a relief.

Capper: Objects in windows may be less mountainous than they appear. Heh heh heh...

Sapphire: Huh.

Princess Luna: Thank you for your assistance Capper, we'll be on our way now.

Twilight Sparkle: Right, let's go, everypony.

Dulcy: All right, let's go to Mount Aris!

Capper: [gasps] Wait! [cat yowl] You can't—you can't make it by y'allselves. You need an airship! And lucky for you, I can get you a ride.

Shadow: Uh, thanks for the offer.

Twilight Sparkle: But I think we can get there on our own. [levitates to open the door only to see Verko blocking her path]

Verko: Here's Verko! [laughs]

Twilight Sparkle/Sunset Shimmer: [gasps]

Sonic: What the flip?!

Verko: These ponies better shoot rainbow lasers out their eyes if they're gonna settle your debt! Brought the big cage. Let's load 'em up!

Mane Nine: [gasp]

Sonic: What? [gives Capper a death stare] WHAT?!

Rarity: You were... You were going to sell us?

Charmy: TRAITOR!!!

Knuckles: [angrily] So you were using us just so you could sell us!!!

Sticks: That sneaky kitty! He think that he can fool us into thinking he can help us!

Amy Rose: We’re outta here! This shell of a kitty con-artist’s not worth our time!

Vector: [at Capper] Listen here, buster! If you think-

Shadow: [facepalms] I knew it! Honestly, some of you can really be oblivious sometimes.

Twilight Sparkle: Criticize us later, alright, we gotta get outta here!

Tempest Shadow: [chuckles evilly]

[Everyone looks to see Tempest appear outside]

Twilight Sparkle: [gasps]

Tempest Shadow: Silly little ponies.

Twilight Sparkle: Tempest!

Spike: [screams]

Omega: Bring the pain protocols activated!

Fluttershy: [squeaks]

Tails: [uneasy] She was following us, wasn't she?

Princess Celestia: I believe so...

Razor: Well that's just great.

Tempest Shadow: [resumes chuckling] Trusting strangers? Big mistake. Big...

Grubber: Huge!

Verko: Hoo-hoo! My goodness! Well, look at you! With your scary broken horn and scowly eyes. What tricks do you know, my little pony-wony?

[Feeling cross, Tempest uses her magic to zap Verko, evaporating him]

Verko: [weakly] Not bad... [faints, revealing the heroes climbing out of the window]

Fang: Uh, run?

Princess Luna: Oh yes, let's!

Bark: Right, time to go!

[the heroes quickly run]

Twilight Sparkle: Go! Go!

Sonic: Move those legs and hooves people!

Tempest Shadow: Get them now!

Grubber: You gonna be scared now, ponies!

Shard: LIES!

Mane Six: [panting]

Charmy: [scared] TWILIGHT, GET US OUTTA HERE!!!

[storm creatures grunting]

Heroes: [screaming and grunting]

[The heroes climbed on the windmill as one of the storm guards stops it, while Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash struggles to make it move again. Then it broke and send it spining around the town]

Mane Six: [screaming]

Applejack: I'm... gonna... be... sick!

Sonic: Get me off of this thing!

Mane Six: [screaming and panting]

[The heroes jumps off the broken windmill as it continues to spin out of control and broke some of the town's pieces. Then they see one of the airship]

Twilight Sparkle: We have to get there! To the docks! Hurry!

[Rainbow Dash grabs the rope as she puts it down then the heroes walks on the rope]

Applejack: That's it.

Rarity: [yelps]

Applejack: Don't look down now!

Knuckles: Steady now. Don't loose your balance...

Spike: [yells]

Pinkie Pie: Yay!

Spike: Dah!

Pinkie Pie: Woo!

Shadow: That's enough! Chaos Control! [warps everyone to the ship]

Zooey: Whew, that was a close call.

Cosmo: Sure is.

Twilight Sparkle: [pants, grunts]

Pinkie Pie: Best... escape... plan... ever!

Twilight Sparkle, Knuckles, and Shadow: WHAT?!?!

Eclipse: Are you insane!? We nearly got killed back there!

Marine: Eh, she's always been weird in the head.

[Just then, they heard of a sound coming their way]

Princess Cadance: Quick, hide!

[Everyone went into hiding]

Spike: Shh!

Sally Acorn: [whispering] Quiet.

Sticks: Why, what's the worst that can-

Knuckles: [covers Sticks' mouth] Sorry Sticks, but it's for your own good.

[Two silhouettes appears above them]

Boyle: Did you hear something?

Squabble: [squawks]

Boyle: Eh, probably just the rats. If we find 'em, we'll eat 'em.

Rarity: Rats?

Eggman Meets Tempest/Meeting Captain Calaeno and the Pirates/Time to be Awesome
Tempest Shadow: Darn, darn, darn, darny-darn! [starts kicking a metal object in anger, one of the storm guards behind her starts running off, Tempest kicks the metal object and it lands on top of the storm guard that was running off]

Storm Creature: Ow.

[Eggman drops down on the Eggmobile]

Dr. Eggman: Loose something?

Tempest Shadow: Who are you?

Dr. Eggman: Dr. Eggman. But you can call me Dr. 'the guy who wants to join forces with you so I can use the alicorn magic to become even more powerful than I already...' you know what? Just call me 'boss.'

Tempest Shadow: I'm already working with The Storm King, you numbskull.

Dr. Eggman: Did I say I was the boss? I meant we were equal partners. [notices the storm guards threatening him] Okay, 60-40. You drive a hard bargin! I accept.

Tempest Shadow: Silence! You're even more infuriating than that hedgehog.

Dr. Eggman: [takes interest] 'Hedgehog' Is he and the other chumps giving you trouble?

Tempest Shadow: Hm?

Dr. Eggman: Well, I happen to know that I've had to deal with that blue pest and his friends countless times in the past, and yes, that does include 9 of the 12 alicorn princesses you're after.

Tempest Shadow: [grows interested] I'm listening.

Dr. Eggman: Well, if you want to me capture the princesses for you, I'll happily do so.

Tempest Shadow: Hmm, fine, just make sure to bring them in alive, and I might just let you live...

Dr. Eggman: [Ponders] We have ourselves a deal. Shake.

[Eggman tries to Tempest's hoof but then sees her broken horn sparking and is frightened]

Dr. Eggman: On second thought, your word is good enough for me. [flies away in the Eggmobile]

[storm creatures growling]

Capper: [grunts]

Tempest Shadow: Now... where are they going?

[horn charges up]

Capper: Okay. No need for violence. Uh, they're headed... [looks down at the gold buttons that Rarity had given him and feels guilty again for his actions. Wanting to make up to the ponies and the others] They headed east! Yeah, to... to Black Skull Island. So, uh, glad I could be of service to His Majesty, the Storm King. I'll just be on my way. [yowls]

Tempest Shadow: When I get the Princesses. Until then, your fate is still... up in the air.

Grubber: [laughs] Oh, you're gonna go in the air! Which is a boat! Theoretically, a air-boat! [laughs]

Capper: [yowls]

Grubber: We make a great team. I love it how you said his fate was "up in the air", and then I said, "you're gonna be in the air on an air-boat!"

[Meanwhile, the heroes were on board of the airship much to the unawareness of its' crew, which were all parrots]

Rainbow Dash: Blugh!

Sonia: Yuck!

Amy Rose: Gross!

Manic: So what now?

Snowdrop: How should we know?

Tunette: I say we hang low for now.

Diamond: Good idea.

Cream: [looks at the pirates] Hmm...

Caramel: What's wrong Cream?

Cream: Well, I was thinking if we just ask them nicely, maybe they'll take us to Mount Aris.

Cheese: Chao-chao.

Shine: Are you sure that'll work?

Twilight Sparkle: Yeah, it does sound pretty risky.

Applejack: Well, whadaya think? Should we just... ask 'em to take us?

Shadow: Oh no, last time we trusted Capper we nearly got ourselves selled by that sneaky feline!

Twilight Sparkle: I mean, Shadow does a point, but it's best to stay quiet for now.

Sticks: [standing up] Yeah, I mean, as long they don't see us, we'll be fine!

[The crate they were hidden under got lifted up, exposing the heroes to the parrot pirates]

Sticks: They already found us, didn't they? [looks behind her] Yipe!

Mane Nine: [gasp]

Apple Bloom: Nice going, Sticks.

Boyle: Hey, guys! Come check this out!

Mullet: Looks like a pack of stowaways.

Lix Spittle: What are we s'posed to do with 'em?

Squabble: [squawks]

Boyle: I think we tie 'em up!

Applejack: [gasps]

Lix Spittle: [squawks] We clip their wings!

Rainbow Dash: [gasps]

Mullet: Nah. We scar 'em...

Rarity: [yelps]

Mullet: ...emotionally!

Fluttershy: [sobs]

Amour: Uh, can't we talk about this?

Mullet: What say the book, Captain Celaeno?

Captain Celaeno: Storm King's rule book says, "Throw them overboard."

Sonic: What?!

Mane Six: Huh?

Whisper: Overboard?!

Espio: Oh boy...

Big: Uh-oh!

Moon Dancer: You can't do that!

Vector: Overboard! Die? You don't understand. We're on the run.

[parrots grunting]

Vector: Cast a vote for mercy here!

[The steam whistle blows meaning lunch time]

Captain Celaeno: All right! That's lunch! [splut]

Twilight Sparkle: What?

Shine: Wait, so we're not going overboard?

Apple Bloom: Well that's a relief.

[Next thing the heroes know, they're in the cabin, sitting with the parrots who are all eating gruel, much to their puzzlement and confusion]

Tangle: Okay...

Vector: This wasn't what I meant, but okay then.

Sunset Shimmer: This doesn't make any sense.

Starlight Glimmer: I know what you mean, Sunset.

Gleam: So, what do we do now?

Knuckles: Well, they just tried to throw us overboard, so LET'S PUNCH'EM!

Everyone: NO!

Sonic: We don't want to cause a commotion!

Espio: It wouldn't be necessary.

Ruby: Yeah, senseless violence doesn't solve anything.

Rainbow Dash: [to the pirates] Whoa whoa whoa! So you were about to toss us overboard and you stopped for a lunch break?

[Twilight gives Rainbow a glare]

Boyle: Storm King only allows one break a day for meals, then it's back to hauling goods.

Antoine: So you're delivery guys?

Captain Celaeno: And gals. These uniforms aren't exactly doing us any favors.

Twilight Sparkle: Then can you deliver us to Mount Aris?

Captain Celaeno: Sorry. We do what the Storm King orders or we suffer his wrath.

Twilight Sparkle: Right. Still going overboard.

Sally Acorn: Why do you even listen to him anyway?

Lix Spittle: Eh, it's nothing personal. Pudding?

Rarity: There's pudding? [splut] Oh.

Bunnie Rabbot: That's pudding?

Lightning Dust: That doesn't even look like pudding.

Rainbow Dash: You weren't always delivery birds, were you? What about before the Storm King?

Captain Celaeno: Yeah. We used to be much more adventurous.

[She pull back a picture of The Storm King to reveal a banner of a skull and crossbones]

Pinkie Pie: Ooh! I met that guy in the desert!

Rainbow Dash: Whoa! You used to be pirates?!

Mullet: Um, we prefer the term "swashbuckling treasure hunters".

Rainbow Dash: So... pirates.

Squabble: [squawks]

Rainbow Dash: You birds have a choice to make. You could let some cloven-hoofed Storm King tell you how to live your lives, or... [tears off the Storm King picture in front of the pirate symbol banner] ...you could be awesome again!

Twilight Sparkle: Rainbow Dash, I'm not sure if this is a good time for a-

[Rainbow Dash]

I know the world can get you down

Twilight Sparkle: [puts a hoof on her head] -song...

Snowdrop: Just let her, this place could use lighting up.

[Rainbow Dash]

Things don't work out quite the way that you thought

Feeling like all your best days are done

Your fears and doubts are all you've got

But there's a light shining deep inside

Beneath those fears and doubts, so just squash 'em

And let it shine for all the world to see

That it is time, yeah, time to be awesome

[Ponies]

Ah, ah, ah-ah, awesome!

It's time to be so awesome!

Ah, ah, ah-ah, awesome!

It's time to be so awesome!

[Captain Celaeno]

You've no idea how hard it's been

[Ponies]

(It's time to be awesome!)

[Captain Celaeno]

This dull routine we've been forced to do

[Rainbow Dash]

Don't let them rob you of who you are

Be awesome, it's all up to you

[Captain Celaeno]

I feel the light stirring deep inside

It's like a tale still yet to be told

[Ponies]

(It's time to be awesome!)

[Rainbow Dash and Captain Celaeno]

And now it's time to break the shackles free

And start living like the brave and the bold!

[All]

It's time to be awesome!

Let loose, be true, so awesome!

It's time to be awesome!

Go big, be you, so awesome!

[Mullet]

We used to soar through the clouds in the skies

[Lix Spittle]

Elaborate schemes we would love to devise

[Boyle]

We rescued our treasure and stored it away

[Captain Celaeno]

Saving those gemstones for a rainy day

[All]

We see that light filling up our skies

[Rainbow Dash]

So take the Storm King's orders and toss 'em

[All]

'Cause it's the time to let our colors fly

[Captain Celaeno]

Hey, scallywags, it's time to be awesome!

[All]

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

[instrumental continues]

Freedom Fighters vs. Eggman Empire/Infinite Betrays the Eggman Empire/Heading to Mount Aris
Captain Celaeno: Come on! Let's show these little ponies how it's done!

[Her crew pull some ropes and the airship opens to reveal giant colorful sails that look like feathers]

Mane Six: [oohing and ahing]

Sticks: That was amazing!

[The pirate parrot crew felt very proud to go back to their old lives again as the sun shone through the sky onto the ship]

Rainbow Dash: Awesome! I knew you had it in ya! And now for the finishing touch!

Twilight Sparkle: Wait, would it be safe to do a Sonic Rainboom? I mean, Tempest could still be looking for us...

Sonic: Relax Twilight, I know you're worried about what this Storm King will do to your magic but as long as you have us, you and your fellow princesses and friends won't get kidnapped and the rest of us won't have to worry about a hostage situation, presides, this whole situation is a lot better than dealing with-

Dr. Eggman: [in the Egg Carrier with the whole Eggman Armada] SURPRISE!!! [laughs]

Sonic: [his smug smile drops from his face as he sees his nemesis] Eggman?!?

Dr. Eggman: What, surprised to see me?

Rainbow Dash: Not really, actually.

Twilight Sparkle: Yeah, and also, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!?

Infinite: [warps in] Let's just say that we made a deal with that Tempest Shadow girl to let us capture the princesses for her.

Sonic: [sighs] Of course Egghead would want to join forces with the Storm King, WHO WOULD'VE GUESSED!

Shadow: No surprise there, though considering his past alliances ended up not lasting long, I bet this'll be no different.

Omega: Eggman robots sighted, prepare to attack.

Sonic: [serious] I don't know what you're planning, Egghead, but it's just gonna end like all your plans do: with you sitting in a pile of busted robot parts wondering how you failed so badly.

???

[The rest of the Eggman Empire ships go up in flames, Eggman's little sneak attack had ultimately failed]

Dr. Eggman: No!

Sonic: Heh-heh, looks like you're all outta luck Baldy McNosehair, now to finish this!

Dr. Eggman: Wha- [sees Sonic spindash off the ship and rush towards him at max speed] Hey, wait stop, n-n-no! This is a delicate machine! [but it was too late, as Sonic homing attacks straight through the Egg Emperor, causing critical damage and forcing Eggman to eject the Eggmobile from it] You blue baffoon, you've ruined everything!

Sonic: That's the idea! [Twilight flies up and warps him back to the ship] Looks like your little sneak attack failed.

Twilight Sparkle: Great work everyone!

Discord: No problem Twilight.

Dr. Eggman: [groans angrily] You haven't won yet, Sonic, Tempest WILL get those alicorns eventually, and once she does, The Storm King's plan will eliminate the bothersome lot of you!

Tails: Wait what?

Starlight Glimmer: What plan?

Infinite: If we told you, it wouldn't be a surprise! [looks at the ponies] Keep your magic for now! But you won't be so lucky next time, I swear it!

[The badly damaged Egg Carrier turns around and flies off with what remained of the Air Armada]

Sally Acorn: Good riddance.

[everyone cheers]

Captain Celaeno: Thanks for the assistance, that was honestly the most fun we've had in a long time.

Rainbow Dash: No problem, now, where was I?

Twilight Sparkle: You were gonna do a Sonic Rainboom.

Shadow: Yeah, an- Wait, what?!

Rainbow Dash: Oh, right. [take off her pirate cap and flies up into the sky to do a Sonic Rainboom]

Pinkie Pie: Rainboom! Rainboom! Rainboom!

Sonic: Go Rainbow Dash, woo!

Shadow: No no no no no! No!

[Too late, Rainbow Dash flew down at supersonic speed and did a Sonic Rainbow]

Rainbow Dash: Aw, yeah! [laughs]

Captain Celaeno: Wow!

Twilight Sparkle: [taking off her pirate captain hat] What's wrong, Shadow?

Shadow: Didn't you mention earlier that Tempest could still be looking for us?!

Twilight Sparkle: Yeah, wh- [her eyes shrink in realization] Oh nuts...

Maria: Oh dear...

[Shadow facepalms. Meanwhile, with Eggman, who had run into Tempest]

Tempest Shadow: You couldn't even get to them!

Dr. Eggman: Well, uh, no, but can you blame me?! That hedgehog and his friends have foiled my plans countless times in the past.

Infinite: Says the one who threw me away like a child's play thing after Sonic and Gadget defeated me!

Dr. Eggman: Oh shut up, Infinite! Yeesh, what's with you today?!

Infinite: [floats up] That's none of your concern, Doctor! But let's just say that I've grown tired of this. [charges up his laser]

Dr. Eggman: [gasps] No, STOP!

[Infinite fires the laser at the Egg Carrier, destroying it]

Doctor Starline: Well, guess Infinite went rogue.

Lien-Da: I told you overclocking the Phantom Ruby would make him unstable!

Dr. Eggman: Oh be quiet!

[Eggman and his minions fall into the ocean]

Dr. Eggman: YOU'LL REGRET THIS ONE DAY!

[splash]

Tempest Shadow: Was that really necessary.

Infinite: Indeed, but the Storm King will be happy to know that I'm now on your side, trust me, I actually defeated Sonic back home on Mobius, so no doubt I can do it again!

Tempest Shadow: Hmph, fine.

[Grubber was just about to eat a piece of cake when the boom sound startled him, making him drop it. He looked to see Rainbow Dash's Sonic Rainboom in the distance]

Tempest Shadow: What the?!

Grubber: Huh? Huh? Looka that rainbow! Looka that rainbow! Whoa, that'th so cool!

Tempest Shadow: Yeah. Of them to alert us. Funny, though. [to Capper] They don't seem to be heading to Black Skull Island.

Capper: Like "ha ha" funny or... ha ha...

[Tempest shoves Grubber aside and turns the airship towards the rainboom. Meanwhile, Calaeno and Rainbow were having a sword fight on deck]

Captain Celaeno: Yeah! Ha ha!

Rainbow Dash: Nice!

Captain Celaeno: [laughs]

Squabble: [squawking]

Marine: [looks beyond the horizon] Uh, guys...

Julie-Su: What's wrong, Marine? [looks beyond the horizon] Oh...

[Squabble points toward Tempest's ship which is approaching them]

Captain Celaeno: Storm guards! Looks like they found you!

Twilight Sparkle: Tempest!

Sonic: And Infinite as well, yeesh, he never gives up, does he?

Omega: [loading up his cannons] Annihilation!

Captain Celaeno: Secure the rigging! Lock down the cargo! Everyone, prepare to be boarded!

[Boyle herded the heroes into the cargo hold below deck]

Fluttershy: Oh my goodness!

[Boyle shuts the door]

Omega: But I wanted to fight...

Rainbow Dash: Ya think she saw my sonic rainboom? [Everyone stares at her like a madman] My bad...

Shadow: [to Rainbow; angrily] YOU IDIOT!!!

Knuckles: [dismayed] Seriously?!

Weather: Guess you should've thought twice, huh?

Cosmo: What do we do now?

Discord: I'm not so sure...

Trixie Lulamoon: Let's just stay quiet for now.

Firefly: Yeah, if they're hear us, we're dead.

Wave: I wouldn't say that, more like captured and imprisoned.

[Tempest's ship fires a huge harpoon at the pirate ship, rocking it to one side]

[pirates yelping]

Mane Six: [scream]

Spike: Whoa!

Big: I'm scared!

Knuckles: Are they trying to get us killed?!

[The harpoon starts pulling Tempest's ship towards the pirates' ship. Tempest, Grubber, Infinite, and The Storm Creatures jump onto the ship. Calaeno and her crew all gasped in fear]

Grubber: [chomps]

Tempest Shadow: Where are the Pony Princesses?

Captain Celaeno: "Princess"? Prin-Cess, Prin-Cess... Nope. All we're hauling is Storm King merchandise.

Squabble: [squawks]

Tempest Shadow: You do realize that if you were to shelter fugitives, the Storm King would be quite... explosive.

Captain Celaeno: [gulps]

[Below deck, some of the heroes were worried about their location being blurted out]

Shadow: [whispering loudly] We have to get off this ship before they tell Tempest we're here!

Sonic: [whispering loudly] Oh please, we just helped them with Baldy McNosehair.

Sapphire: They're not gonna give us up!

Rainbow Dash: I mean, we DID help the pirates get their mojo back.

Princess Celestia: We don't want to risk getting captured.

Twilight Sparkle: Yeah, it's all on us, we're the ones Tempest wants. We're the alicorn princesses here.

Starlight Glimmer: Well, we have to do something, they'll be sure to realize we're in here eventually.

Rarity: [breathes loudly]

Fluttershy: [shivers]

Applejack: [sighs]

Pinkie Pie: Whoa! [crash!]

Twilight Sparkle: [sighs, then looks around] I think I have a idea.

[Above deck]

Tempest Shadow: Now, I'm gonna count to three, and if you don't tell me where they are, your ship is going down. One...

Infinite: This could be interesting...

Tempest Shadow: ...two...

[Captain Calaeno grips her sword tightly, ready to fight]

Grubber: Oh, this in intense!

Tempest Shadow: Three!

[Then she heard screaming. She turn back to look at the floor]

Pinkie Pie: [screams]

Tempest Shadow: What?

Captain Celaeno: [sighs in relief]

Rarity: Oh, for Celestia's sake!!!

Vector: I THINK I'M GONNA BE SICK!

Amy Rose: This isn't what I had in mind!

Tunette/Gem: Us either!!

Pinkie Pie: [screams, laughs] Whee!

Tails: Whoa!

Fluttershy: [yells] I can't look!

Rarity: [screams] Ooh! [resumes screaming]

Emerl: Uh, what's our chance of survival?

Gamma: My censors indicate that the ocean will be too cold for us, so death by cold water shock is inevitable, so overall, survival rate is 12.5%.

Sonar: Not what we wanted to hear!!

Silver: Wait, does anyone else remember that some of us can fly?! [levitates himself]

Salt: Oh right.

[the heroes with a flying ability quickly remembered, with Tails quickly grabbing Sonic, and Knuckles, Amy, and Blaze's Jewel Pixie Animals gave them butterfly wings]

Sonic: Thanks, Tails. [to Sapphire] You have a plan to save the others, right?

[The Jewel Pixie Animals quickly use their pixie dust to give Team Sonic and the other heroes butterfly wings]

Mane Six: [cheering]

Pinkie Pie: Whee-hee-hee!

Mane Six: [sighing]

Rarity: Thank goodness.

Applejack: Phee-yew! Quick thinkin', guys!

Twilight Sparkle: Yahoo! Ha ha!

Pinkie Pie: That was fun! Can we do it again?

Trixie Lulamoon: Yeah, I'd rather not fall to my death again.

Shadow: Well, I suppose that works, but how do we get to Mount Aris from here?

Moonlight: What do you think?

Shadow: [understands] Oh, I get it now, let's go!

Rainbow Dash: Next stop, Mount Aris!

Twilight Sparkle: We're home free!

Mane Six: [cheering]

[Meanwhile, back on the ship]

[storm creatures grunting]

Grubber: There's no ponies. But I found this. It's a... kind of a cupcake... with sprinkles... Oh, yeah, and I found this, too.

Tempest Shadow: Huh.

Grubber: Wow, this is a real artist!

Tempest Shadow: Looks like they're heading to Mount Aris.

Capper: Really? [stammering and laughing nervously] Mou- Mount Aris? I... Well, that's my mis— I didn't know that... Mount Ari... My bad, I didn't... That's my... I'm sorry, I'm very very sorry.

Tempest Shadow: Now, about your betrayal...

Infinite: Adios. [warps away]

[Tempest charges her magic and zaps the ship, destroying it. Pieces of it falls into the ocean below]

[Back on Tempest's airship]

Tempest Shadow: Alright, you better have a good idea on how to get to the princesses, cause my patience is at a all time low.

Infinite: Hmm, I think I've got it! If we can the alicorns away from Sonic and his friends long enough, we should be able to finally get them!

Tempest Shadow: But how are we gonna do that?

Infinite: Just leave that to me. [walks away as the ship heads towards Mount Aris] Not even Sonic will be able to stop this plan! He and his other useless friends have only delayed the inevitable! [laughs evilly]

Exploring Mount Aris/Meeting Princess Skystar, Queen Novo and the Seaponies/One Small Thing/Gaining Novo's Trust
[The scene changes to the heroes climbing up the stairs of Mount Aris]

Rarity: We had to land at the bottom of the mountain! That's it! I simply... cannot... even! I have nothing! The bad guys have won! I'm so sorryyyyyyyy-y-y-y!

Perci: Don't give up dramatically yet, Rarity! We're almost there!

Espio: About time.

Firefly: Awesome!

Tangle: And the best part is, we made it unharmed!

[Vector throws up behind some rocks due to flying very high in the sky with butterfly wings]

Tangle: Well, almost unharmed anyway.

Shining Armor: How could so much come out from one big crocodile?

Cream: [flies over to Vector] Feeling better, Mr. Vector?

Vector: [weakly] I... won't... die!

Cream: [sympathetically] Awww....

[Vector continues throwing up as Amy, Rarity, and Scootaloo groan in disgust]

Star Swirl the Bearded: It's air-sickness. Don't worry, my friend.

Ruby: [creates a red and pink rose flower crown before putting it on Vector's head] These roses will make you feel better once we find the queen and the Hippogriffs

Vector: [weakly] Thanks, Ruby...

Apple Bloom: How much farther is it?

Scootaloo: Yeah, we're tired...

Sweetie Belle: It can't be that far...

Pearly: Yeah, it just has to be close!

Coral: Hmm... [sees buildings up ahead] Look guys, I think we're finally getting close!

Twilight Sparkle: [gasps] This is it!

Pinkie Pie: Ooh!

Applejack: Well, I'll be. [laughs] Hippogriffs, here we come!

Rarity: [sighs] Time to rest my hooves!

[But as the heroes entered the city, they saw that it was deserted and abandoned]

Rarity: Are we sure this is the right place?

Stygian: The whole place looks deserted. What happened?

Princess Cadance: I'm not so sure, but this does feel a bit creepy.

Tikal: Yeah...

Somnambula: This could be a riddle for any of us to solve.

Flash Magnus: Probably, Somnambula.

Starlight Glimmer: Come on, let's take a look around.

Applejack: Hello?! Is anypony home?!

Sonic: [runs past everyone then heads back] Well, nothing in there.

Tails: [holding the Miles Electric] I checked on my handheld, bupkus.

Amy Rose: I inspected some of the buildings, zilch.

Pinkie Pie: No Hippogriffies here! Or here! Or here! Or here or here or here! Waaaaaiiit! Nope! This place is emp-ty!

Shadow: What? That can't be.

Twilight Sparkle: But... Celestia... The map. They have to be here.

Razor: Yeah... We didn't just come here for nothing...

Big Mac: E'eyup.

Spike: Something bad happened here.

Sticks: Something that turned this whole place into a ghost town.

Fluttershy: A g-g-g-g-ghost town?!

Lightning Dust: You're not scared, are ya, Fluttershy?

Gadget: Dude, don't scare Fluttershy.

Lightning Dust: I'm a girl.

Gadget: I know, I was just saying.

Cream: G-G-GHOSTS?!? [hugs Vanilla]

Vanilla: There there, Cream, she was just saying.

Cream: Oh, okay...

Cheese: Chao-chao...

[Then humming can be heard echoing around them]

Fluttershy: [gasps]

Cosmo: Huh?

Party Favor: What's that?

Sugar Belle: I have no idea.

Sonar: Let's check it out.

Twilight Sparkle: [gasps] It's coming from over there!

Sonic: In that case, let's follow it! Let's speed keed! [runs off]

Shadow: Again with the old catchphrases...

[As they came, they could see it's coming from inside the throne room]

Tails: What is this?

Digit: I think we're about to find out.

Blaze: Although I like the humming tune.

Vector: Hey guys! Look! A shiny gold-glowing being!

Rainbow Dash: Vector's right, I see it too!

[They head inside the ruins of a cathedral and walk under huge rocks. They came to a pool with a huge flower floating in the water with a glowing silhouette of a figure humming inside it. The steps crumbles under Pinkie's hoof, startling the figure who jumps into the water]

Princess Skystar: [gasps] What was that?! [splash!]

Sonic: Huh?

Cream: It's in the water. We have got to check it out. [splash!]

Pinkie Pie: Hey! Wait up! Cannonball! [splash!]

Twilight Sparkle: Cream, Pinkie!

Big: [pushes everyone into the water] Froggy!

Amy Rose: Big!

Big: Sorry...

Gmerl: Yeah, well, don't do that again.

Chocola: Chao-chao.

Pinkie Pie: [sputters] She's gone!

Sweetie: Oh...

Twilight Sparkle: Now what?

[bubbles]

Pinkie Pie: Huh?

[Then the water starts to form a whirlpool which sucks everyone into it]

Everyone: [scream]

Rarity: Oh, boy. I hate epic adventures.

Mane Nine: [screaming, trying to talk]

Amy Rose: SONIC!!!

Sonic: Everybody, hang on!

[The Jewel Pixie Animals held onto Team Sonic’s quills/Mane Nine’s manes tightly. The whirlpool sucks them in then vanishes. Under the water, everyone (aside from Echo, Razor, Princess Undina, Coral, and Pearly, who were capable of breathing underwater, and Team Robot, who technically can't drown, what with being waterproof robots and all that] tried to catch their breath but to no avail. They soon ran out of breath and lost consciousness as they start to sink but then somehow regaied their breath and consciousness. Turns out that air bubbles had covered their heads like old fashioned diver helmets]

Twilight Sparkle: [gasps for air]

Mane Six: [gasping for air]

Sonic: Well, I'm pretty sure that just magnified my hydrophobia tenfold.

Scootaloo: Yeah, that was close...

Pinkie Pie: Way to leave it to the last minute, Twilight!

Sweetie Belle: Yeah, thanks for the save.

Twilight Sparkle: I didn't make these bubbles!

Sonar: Say what now?

Fluttershy: [notices Amour isn't hanging on tightly on her mane] About that, where are the Jewel Pixie Animals?

[The others quickly noticed the Jewel Pixie Animals aren't in the bubbles]

Salt and Moonlight (Selkie forms): [suddenly appears in front of Tails, Storm, and Mina] Hello!

Tails: GAH!! [jumps into Sonic's arms]

Storm: [scared] AHH!!! [holds Jet tightly in his arms]

Mina Mongoose: What the?!

Cream: [surprised] Oh my!

Sapphire (Selkie form): [giggles] Surprised?

Spike: Yes actually.

Espio: I have, several questions...

Whisper: How did you do that?

[The Jewel Pixie Animals soon gather around together in their selkie forms]

Nyx: That's amazing!

Marine: What is this some form you take when underwater of something?

Shade: Yeah, we're curious.

Princess Celestia: Sapphire and the others took the form of selkies. I've been teaching them so much how to change form when they're in underwater.

Sonic: Huh, neat.

Tangle: Are you kidding, that's awesome!

Cream: Yeah, how long has you been teaching them to do that, Princess Celestia?

Cheese: Chao-chao?

Digit (Selkie form): Three years. It was hard at the start, but now we're getting really good at it!

Knuckles: Nice, but when did it start exactly? Sometime after Luna gave the Mane Nine their Jewel Pixie Animals or something?

Tunette (Selkie form): That was BEFORE that, Knuckles.

Knuckles: Oh... So-

Princess Luna: After my older sister gave you your fairy partners, I figured that I teach the Mane 9's Jewel Pixie Animals the same thing.

Knuckles: Oh, I get it now.

Sonic: That's so cool! But Sapphire, did you and the others made these bubbles?

Sapphire (Selkie form): No, we haven’t!

Sally Acorn: But if you didn't...

Fluttershy: Then [pants] who did?

Amour (Selkie form): We're not sure yet.

Amy Rose: Well if Twilight or none of the Jewel Pixie Animals make these bubbles, then who did then?

[Something moves in the shadows]

Sir Charles Hedgehog: Huh?

Shadow: Who goes there, friend or foe?

Moonlight (Selkie form): Please be friend, please be friend.

Mane Nine: [gasp]

Twilight Sparkle: Uh, Hello? We're looking for the Hippogriffs.

[A orb of yellow light appears from the shadows]

Princess Skystar: How do I know I can trust you?

Twilight Sparkle: Please. The Storm King invaded our land. And we need their help.

[The light dims down, revealing to be a yellow seapony named Princess Skystar]

Princess Skystar: The Storm King?! I'm so glad I saved you guys! I'm totally taking you to my mom!

[She took Twilight's hoof and pulls her and the heroes along through the water]

Twilight Sparkle: [gasps] Does your mother know where they are?

Princess Skystar: Oho! [singsongy] She might have an idea! [giggles]

Rotor: In that case, would you be kind to lead us to where she is?

Princess Skystar: Sure thing.

Princess Undina: Nice!

Lupe: Great.

Twilight Sparkle: Hoo-hoo! [bubbles]

[They continue to swim through the watery cavern]

Princess Skystar: We're almost there!

[Soon, they see Seaquestria, an underwater kingdom which is made of a huge coral reef]

Sonic: [amazed] Whoa...

Amy Rose: It’s so beautiful!

Tails: Wow...

Princess Luna: Incredible.

Cream: This looks amazing.

Cheese: Chao-chao...

Manic: Sweet.

Princess Celestia: We've never seen anything like it.

Sonia: Yeah.

Everyone and everypony: Wow!

[Sea ponies watch them from below as the heroes follow Skystar into Seaquestria's throne room where her mother, Queen Novo, a white sea pony with a purple mane sitting on her throne]

Princess Skystar: Mother, look what I found!

Queen Novo: Is it another shell?

Princess Skystar: Mm-mm.

Queen Novo: Because I am telling you if it is another shell, I am- [gasps loudly when she sees the heroes but then sees that the Pillars of Old Equestria are among them, she was completely amazed] Star Swirl?

Star Swirl the Bearded: Queen Novo I presume.

Shine (Selkie form): [whispers] Uh, Twilight, call me crazy, but does this person sound like she knows Star Swirl?

Twilight Sparkle: [whispers] I'm not sure...

Queen Novo: Yes, y'all are looking at her. So, I take it these land dwellers are with you? Because I strictly told my daughter, Skystar here that surface dwellers are forbidden here.

Vector: Wait, they are?

Amy Rose: Oh dear.

Tunette (Selkie form): Well, that could be a problem.

Princess Skystar: No no n-no! M-M-Mom, please! It is so not like that! The Storm King is trying to destroy their home, too!

Twilight Sparkle: We need to find the Hippogriffs. Do you know what happened to them?

Diamond (Selkie form): Yeah, we've kinda been looking for then all day.

Queen Novo: Well, of course I know. I'm the queen. I know everything.

Princess Skystar: Oh, oh, it's such a good story!

Sticks: Wait, story, I'm listening...

Gem (Selkie form): Yeah, go ahead.

Wave: We're listening. Tell us the story.

Queen Novo: Don't you dare tell them!

Princess Skystar: [shows everyone the image of the hippogriffs] Once upon a time, like, a while ago, the Hippogriffs did live on Mount Aris.

Mane Nine: Oooh!

Majesty (Selkie form): Guess we were heading in the right direction after all, huh?

Queen Novo: Did I not say don't tell them? But hey, I'm just the queen. Don't mind me.

Princess Skystar: Fine! I can't tell you! But if I could tell you, I'd say that that horned beast did show up to steal their magic!

Sunburst: Okay...

Cream: That's... terrible...

Queen Novo: Seriously?

Princess Skystar: But, to keep it out of his clutches, their brave and majestic leader, Queen Novo, hid them deep underwater where he could never go! We are... Well, we were the Hippogriffs! Ta-da! [laughs and whispers to Pinkie Pie] But I totally did not tell you that!

Sonic: Uh, you clearly obviously did.

Blaze: Not really that good at keeping secrets, are you?

Queen Novo: Well, I guess the pearl is out the oyster now. I am Queen Novo.

Rockhoof: We know you're the one, Queen Novo.

Applejack: Hold on now. Lemme get this straight. When the Storm King came, you just abandoned your entire city and fled?

Princess Skystar: We didn't flee! We swam! Y'know, in order to flee.

Twilight Sparkle: But... how?

Amy Rose: Yeah, how?

Princess Skystar: Oh! Can we show them? Huh? These are the first guests we've had in, like, foreveeerrr! Can we, can we, can we, can we, can we, can we, can we, can we, can we?

Queen Novo: Well, I suppose I should make sure it still works. [chuckles]

[She swim up to a jellyfish and it unfolds to reveal a magical pearl which landed on her fins]

Princess Skystar: [giggles]

Queen Novo: Careful, now.

Princess Skystar: [squeals]

Mane Six: Huh?

[She rubs the pearl and it shines brightly, magically turned everyone in seaponies, mermaids and mermen]

Sunset Shimmer: Whoa!

Twilight Sparkle: Oh! [laughs]

Fluttershy: Ooh! Oh! [laughs]

Applejack: Oh. Wa-wa-whoa! [laughs]

Mane Six: [awed reactions]

Fluttershy: Wow!

Rainbow Dash: [laughs]

Rarity: These fins are divine!

Charmy: Sweet! I looked so cool with a mermaid tail!

Shadow: [confused] What just happened?

Sonic: Not sure, but I like it!

Amy Rose: Oh, wow! These mermaid tails look so cute!

Apple Bloom: Yeah.

Tails: Wow, I'm speechless, I mean, how is it possible that-

Discord: I thought you were speechless.

Scootaloo: This is so cool!

Sweetie Belle: Agreed.

Rainbow Dash: Hey, Applejack, I'll race ya to that coral!

Applejack: You're on!

Vector: This is so cool! [swims]

Espio: A bit weird, but something I can live with.

Mighty: Hmm, yeah, this is pretty swell.

Ray: Are you kidding, this is amazing!

Sunburst: Well, he isn't wrong.

Cream: Wow, isn't this cool, Cheese?

Cheese: Chao-chao!

Blaze: Amazing...

Pinkie Pie: Woo-hoo! [giggles] Ooh! Try it, Fluttershy!

Fluttershy: [giggles] Yay.

Charmy: Hey Vec, wanna race?

Vector: You're on!

Spike: Guys? Guys? What is... [puffs] ...happening?!

Fluttershy: Aw, so cute!

Jet: [to Spike] You just had to ask.

Twilight Sparkle: This is amazing! With this, we could transform everypony at home into something powerful enough to face The Storm King!

Queen Novo: Or it could end up in their greedy claws!

Twilight Sparkle: [her jaw drops] But...

Queen Novo: Honey, I'm sorry about your home. I truly am. But my responsibility is to protect my subjects. The pearl... is not going anywhere.

Rotor: Well that's sad.

Blaze: Not to mention disappointing.

Twilight Sparkle: But we've come all this way. And you can't just hide down here! Trapped forever! There's so much you're missing!

Queen Novo: We are one hundred percent okay with that!

Jamal: [chitters]

Queen Novo: Yes, Jamal?

Jamal: [chitters]

Queen Novo: Ooh! Time for my seaweed wrap. Later, girls!

Jamal: [chitters]

Queen Novo: Yes, a massage, too. Mama needs her deep tissue.

Cream: Okay, we'll watch over the pearl don't worry.

Caramel (Selkie form): We won't let anything happen.

Applejack: So that's it? We left home for nothin'?

Sonic: Beats me, but if Novo knows about Celestia, Starswirl and the the Pillars, does she know the Jewel Pixie Animals?

Tails: That, I'm not so sure yet.

Princess Skystar: Oh, my gosh! Best... idea! You can stay with us! Forever! [laughs] There are so many things we can do! We can make friendship bracelets out of shells and... picture frames outta shells and... decorative wastebaskets out of shells... Oh, I have so many projects that involve shells, haha! Now I have someone new to share them with! I mean, aside from my friends, Shelly and Sheldon. Right? "Shelly"?

Pinkie Pie: [gasps]

Princess Skystar: And "Sheldon"? [chuckles] Get it? [chuckles, snorts]

Sonic: [begins to chuckle a little when Shadow covers his mouth]

Shadow: No.

Rarity: Ooh, ooh...

Pinkie Pie: [giggles]

Rarity: That sounds lovely, darling, but you must realize, we can't stay.

Applejack: We've gotta get back to our families.

Sally Acorn: Yeah, and plus, we don't know how long this transformation will last.

Princess Skystar: Oh, no. Of course. Of course. Heh. Of course you have your own friends back home. It's fine. It's fine. Heh. [whispering] Shelly and Sheldon get jealous anyways. Heh. It's probably for the best. [sighs] Yeah, I'll just, um... [sadly] I'll get Mom to, uh, turn you back so you can go home. [swims sadly away]

Pinkie Pie: [looks guilty] Guys, I know we have to go, but you guys saw how disappointed Princess Skystar was. Couldn't we stay for just a little longer?

Tails: Well, I mean...

Applejack: Pinkie, we just don't have time for—

Twilight Sparkle: Oh, no. No no. Pinkie's right.

Rainbow Dash: Say what now?

Digit (Selkie form): What are you talking about, Twi?

Twilight Sparkle: Well, we still need to come up with a plan to get back. A few minutes won't make a huge difference. And if there's anypony who can cram a lifetime of fun into a blink of an eye, it's Pinkie Pie!

Pinkie Pie: [squee]

Cream: You know, you're right Twilight.

Big: We should probably enjoy ourselves while we're here!

Twilight Sparkle: Exactly, so, go ahead and show Skystar the best time ever!

Marine: Alright then, Twilight!

Sonic: Time to give them a show!

Pinkie Pie: I won't let you down! [everyone, except for Silver, Salt, and Shine swam away]

[As they left the throne room, Twilight looks up at the the jellyfish who kept the pearl]

Twilight Sparkle: [gulps] I'm counting on it... [was about to swim away when Silver stopped her]

Silver: As much I'd like to say you have the best of reasons, I really think stealing the pearl would more than likely get us all kicked out, then the Hippogriffs would never help us out.

Twilight Sparkle: [dumbfounded] Wait, how did you kno- [realizes] Oh right, you're from the future... I honestly keep forgetting that.

Silver: Well, it has been a while since that fact was last mentioned, but why steal the pearl, is a crime really the best choice?

Twilight Sparkle: [sighs] It's the only way to save Equestria, and-

Silver: Except it isn't. Look Twilight, I'm an optimist, but I'm also a realist, if you end up going ahead with this, what do you think will happen if you get caught?

Twilight Sparkle: Look, Silver, I know it's wrong to do, but this isn't Equestria! We can't just dance around with con artists, make rainbooms in the sky and expect everything to work out! It's not enough! We are not enough!

Shine (Selkie form): [sighs] We get it Twilight, you're desperate to save your home at this point, but don't you think there are other ways you could do this, I mean, if your friends find out, they might think you wanted them to distract the seaponies.

Twilight Sparkle: [gasps] What? But I would never-

Salt (Selkie form): Get yourself together, Twilight! You're smarter than this, remember?

Twilight Sparkle: [finally started to have second thoughts; sighs] You know what guys, you're right, I don't know what I was thinking?!

Shine (Selkie form): You were stressed out, you tend not to think clearly when you're like that.

Twilight Sparkle: Yeah, but what should I do?

Silver: I would suggest you talk to Queen Novo about it, she'll know what to do, and presides, it seems like Celestia and her know each other well.

Twilight Sparkle: [sighs] Alright, but I hope you guys are right. [goes over to talk to Queen Novo on how to save Equestria from the Storm King]

Sonic: Hmmm.... If we can't get Novo to help us, how do we get her to see that we're the ones who are trustworthy?

Tails: Hey Pinkie, since you're a great party-planner, how about you show Novo what fun really feels like?

Cream: Yeah!

Pinkie Pie: I've got ya!

[strings and harp]

Princess Skystar: [sniffling] It's probably for the best. [holding back tears]

[Pinkie Pie]

[as Shelly] Hey, now, don't be sad

[as Sheldon] I know we cannot stay

[normal voice] But we've got a couple minutes

And a little time to play

[Princess Skystar]

I know you have important things

So it's okay, just go

[Pinkie Pie]

But we can still pick one small, little thing

To do with you, y'know!

[They push Skystar and swam together through Seaquestria]

[Pinkie Pie]

One small thing doesn't seem like a lot

One small thing, work with the time you've got

Soon, one small thing becomes two

After two, perhaps another few

Then one small thing is not so small

One small thing can be the biggest thing of all

[Princess Skystar]

All right now, since you're here

Let's see what we can do

Swim with the flow until you go

Together, me and you

[Pinkie Pie]

I've got necklaces for everyfish

So what else do ya got?

[Princess Skystar]

Well, we could play the bubblefish

You'll like this one a lot!

[Pinkie startles Spike, making him puff up like a balloon]

[Pinkie Pie and Princess Skystar]

One small thing, it's a good place to start

[Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Fluttershy]

(Just one small thing)

[Pinkie Pie and Princess Skystar]

One small thing, and we don't seem so far apart

[Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Fluttershy]

(Don't seem apart)

[All]

Soon, one small thing leads to more

It's so much more than there was before

Just one small thing, and you will see

The start of something big for you and me

[Queen Novo swim out of her spa room to find out what all the noise is about]

[Pinkie Pie]

One small thing

[Seaponies]

Just one small thing

[Princess Skystar]

Or a tall thing

[Seaponies]

Just one tall thing

[Fluttershy]

Or a sing thing

[Seaponies]

Just one sing-y thing

[Rarity]

Or a bling thing

[All]

Just one bling-y thing

[Applejack]

A conga thing

[All]

Yeah, a conga thing

[Rainbow Dash]

Or a longah thing

[Seaponies]

Just one longah thing

[Pinkie Pie]

A blue thing, true thing, you thing

[Seaponies]

(Oooh-oooh)

[Princess Skystar]

A whee thing, sea thing, me thing

[Seaponies]

(Oooh-oooh-oooh!)

[Pinkie Pie and Princess Skystar]

So many things and everything until our time is done

There's one small thing for each and everyone!

[Princess Skystar]

One small thing, so much we can create

You and me, we started something great

It's so amazing, look around

At all the happy sights and sounds

One small thing is big, it's true

You did this all for us

I just wish there was one small thing

An extra special kind of thing

[Princess Skystar and Seaponies]

That we could do for you...

One small thing!

Queen Novo: Woo! [laughs]

Princess Skystar: Hmm?

Mina Mongoose: That was awesome!

Pinkie Pie: [giggles]

Rest of the Mane Six: [laugh]

Sunset Shimmer: I'll admit, that was pretty cool.

Sticks: WOOHOO!

Cream: This is fun!

Tails: Yeah!

Jewel Pixie Animals (Selkie forms): [laugh and cheer]

Manic: Let's do that again!

Queen Novo: Well, I guess there is one small thing we can do.

Pinkie Pie: Ahhh!

Twilight Sparkle: Really, what is it?

Queen Novo: Well, I'll bet Stygian might know how to create a copy of my pearl for everygriff. Would you, Stygian?

Stygian: I guess you could say that, Queen Novo.

Blaze: If that's even possible...

Pearl (Selkie form): I mean, anything's possible...

Star Swirl the Bearded: I've taught Stygian everything there is to know about using his magic wisely.

Queen Novo: Is that so? [to Skystar] And you trust them, Skystar?

Princess Skystar: Yes, Mom. More than anything. So, can we help them, can we, can we?

Queen Novo: [sighs] Alright, we'll help you save your home.

Amy Rose: Alright!

Discord: Marvelous!

Sonic: Yes! [hi-fives Tails]

Shadow: Hmm. [grins] I knew we'd do it.

[With that said, Twilight was relieved to earn her trust as everyone and everypony cheered]

Twilight Sparkle: We'll meet you on the surface.

Queen Novo: See you there.

[With that said, everyone and everypony went back up the surface]

Returning to the Surface/Surprise Attack/The Mane Nine and the Princesses get Captured/Crossing the Line/Infinite Defeats Sonic
[Now we go to the surface, where we see a glow underwater, then a magic sound was heard as our heroes walk out of the ocean, at last, everyone and everypony was outside of Seaquestria and getting ready to take back Equestria]

Mane Six: [gasping for air]

Rainbow Dash: [coughing]

Rarity: [gasping, faints]

Sonic: [pops out of the water and then gasp for air] Note to self, never ask to be returned to normal when you're only half-way to the surface, but hey, at least I can say I'm not scared of water anymore...

Amy Rose: Indeed, Sonic, and I'm proud of you for overcoming your fears. [hugs him]

Soar: Yeah, you honestly did better than when I offered you my advice.

Marine: I'll admit, I really liked being a mermaid.

Blaze: Indeed, good to be on dry land again though.

Pearl: Yeah.

Starlight Glimmer: [squeezes the water out of her tail] Yeah.

Cream: Is everybody here?

Cheese: Chao-chao?

Sunburst: I believe so.

Omega: [checks everyone] Yes, everyone is present and accounted for.

Princess Luna: Good to hear, Omega.

Tails: So, Queen Novo, what made you change your mind?

Queen Novo: Seeing the way you know a good friend, I guess Skystar was right to trust y'all. We've been into hiding in Seaquestria only to stay safe, we've forgotten what it's like being hippogriffs again.

Tails: Ah, I see.

Rouge: Now that we have the Hippogriffs, we can head home and stop the Storm King for good.

Knuckles: Yeah, I can't wait to show this Storm King who not to mess with!

Gilda: I'm just glad we all made it through okay.

Whisper: Okay, Stygian. You ready?

Stygian: Yes, Whisper, I'm ready to do what I must to save Equestria.

Tangle: In that case, I think we're all set.

Rainbow Dash: Well, what are we waiting for?

Weather: Let's go!

Sonic: Yeah, it's time to take back Equestria!

[everyone cheers, when suddenly, some storm creatures appear out of nowhere, and unknown to everyone, the Phantom Ruby's sound effects could be heard quietly nearby]

Eclipse: Oh now what?

Star Swirl the Bearded: Storm Guards.

Nyx: Oh no...

Knuckles: Oh come on, seriously?!

Queen Novo: Okay, that right there is the reason why we hid in Seaquestria!

Shining Armor: They just don't know when to give up, do they?!

Sonic: Yeah, either way, we should probably take care of them if anything! [to Spike] Spike, get the alicorn princesses out of here, we'll take care of this!

Spike: On it!

[Spike took the 12 princess as far as they can go]

Gamma: The storm guards must be eradicated! [take aim]

Lightning Dust: Okay, come get some ugly! [the storm creatures charge at the heroes]

Knuckles: Let's go!

Sonic: Aw yeah, let’s do this!

[the heroes charge at the storm creatures, taking down as many as they can]

[Unknowingly to them, these storm creatures were just mere illusions Infinite had created to distract them]

Infinite: Suckers. [warps away as he goes onto the ship, then talks to Tempest and the storm creatures] The Freedom Fighters and those other idiots are distracted.

Tempest Shadow: Excellent! [to the Storm Creatures] Now go capture the princesses immediately!

[Meanwhile, somewhere in the middle of the ocean, the Eggman Empire was seen on some debries from the Egg Carrier, with the Deadly Six, Neo Metal Sonic, Rough, Tumble, Orbot, Cubot, Decoe, Bocoe, Bokkun, Scratch, Grounder, Coconuts, Sleet, and Dingo pushing it from behind]

Dr. Eggman: Faster, you idiots! Faster! Put your backsides into it.

Orbot: Technically, robots don't have backsides, boss.

Dr. Eggman: I don't care! Just push. We have to get back to the base. I already have my revenge against Infinite planned out, and this time I will not fail!

Orbot: Of course you won't boss. Of course you won't. On the bright side, none of your robotic minions have ceased to function yet.

Cubot: Yeah, which is great, considering what happened with Metal Sonic when he was put under Lyric's control! Oh hey, remember when we were chasing all the little alien guys? What's up with those guys anyway? They sure were funny looking. Hahaha. Smelled good, though.

Dr. Eggman: Ugh, what I wouldn't give for the maddening silence of Space right about now.

Doctor Starline: You're not only on that front.

Lien-Da: Yeah.

Snivley: Same. [sighs]

Metal Sonic: Just don't pay attention to him, eventually he'll tire himself out.

Cubot: Oh, I wish we had some sushi. Bummer we didn't bring any with us. Not that we could eat it since we're robots, but we could have looked at it. I love looking at stuff. I love stuff! By the way, did we destroy Sonic eariler? Duh, sorry, dumb question. We never destroy Sonic! Hey, where are we going... Ohhhhh look at that fish... oh, and that one... and that one... and that one... that one's nice... oh look at that!

[The scene changes to to the waves crashing as we see the princesses and Spike looking around, making sure no one was following them]

Spike: Okay, all clear. [walks away]

Twilight Sparkle: Phew, that's a relief. You know, I'm honestly glad we were able to get Queen Novo's trust.

Starlight Glimmer: Yeah, I'll admit, this whole journey's been fun, even if we did spend most of it looking for sompony to help us.

Princess Cadance: At least, now we have a chance to take back Equestria.

Pinkie Pie: Yeah, and plus, once we've saved Equestria, we can get back to the Friendship Festival!

Applejack: Y'up.

Rainbow Dash: Let's not also forget that we would've of gotten this far without Sonic and the others.

Sunset Shimmer: Yeah, had it not been for them, we would've likely been captured already.

Fluttershy: Or we could've all been petrified by those weird orb things.

Rarity: Yeah, this whole adventure's had a lot of close calls.

Princess Celestia: Indeed so, but we never gave up on our goals.

Trixie Lulamoon: And even if the journey had its' less than stellar moments.

Princess Luna: We still made it in the end.

Twilight Sparkle: Yeah... You know what, I'd say we go back and help them, I mean, Equestria isn't gonna save itself, presides, I've think we've done enough hiding for one day.

Rainbow Dash: You know what, you're right Twilight.

Twilight Sparkle: Exactly, so let's- [suddenly hears muffled screams] Spike? [gasp]

Spike: [being held capture by a storm creature] Guys, help!

Mane Nine: [gasps]

[Twilight tries to use a spell but a cage appears out of nowhere and drops on her and the others at the last second]

Twilight Sparkle: [screams, gasps] No no no no no! Noooooo!

Applejack: What the?!

Fluttershy: Oh no!

Pinkie Pie: What gives?!

Rarity: Huh?!

Rainbow Dash: It's a trap!

Princess Celestia: This is not good.

Princess Luna: Not good at all.

Princess Cadance: This cannot be happening. This cannot be happening!

Starlight Glimmer: Impossible!

Sunset Shimmer: It can't be!

Trixie Lulamoon: The whole thing was a set up!

[They are hoisted up to the ship]

Twilight Sparkle: Spiiiiiike!!!

[Spike watches from below in horror]

Spike: Twiliiiiiight!!! [gets free from his captor and runs for dear life to warn the others]

[Meanwhile, the heroes and the Hippogriffs had all taken down the storm guards]

Sonia: Well, that was easy.

Manic: Yeah, too easy actually.

Flash Magnus: Yeah, wierd...

Sonic: I have to agree. [shrugs] I don't think Tempest is even trying anymore.

Shadow: Yeah, we should get the princesses and Spike and head back to Equestria now.

Spike: [running to them in a panic] They've! Been! Taken!!!

Big: What?!

Sonic: Huh?! What's wrong little buddy? [looks around; worried] Wait, where are Twilight and the others?!

Spike: They've been taken, Tempest! She grabbed them, and took them on her ship!

Sonic: [mutters gibberish and gasps] WHAT!?!?

Tails: WHAT!?!?!?

Knuckles: HUH!?!??!

Amy Rose: What?!?!

Shadow: WHAT?!

Cream: What?

Rouge: What?

Silver: What?!

Blaze: What?!?

Discord/Pillars of Old Equestria/Bareburn/Maud Pie: What?

Flash Sentry/Shining Armor/Sunburst/Big Mac/Queen Novo: WHAT?!?!

Nyx/Snowdrop/Babs Seed/Gabby/Diamond Tiara/Silver Spoon: What?

Cutie-Mark Crusaders/Princess Skystar: What?!?

Big/Soar/Mike/Comedy Chimp/Lupe/Monkey Kahn/Wolfie/Tommy Thunder/Wild Cat: Huh?

Omega/Gamma/FriendBot: What?!

Emerl/Gmerl: WHAT?!?

Babylon Rogues/Doctor Ellidy/Nikki/Eclipse/Dulcy: What?!?!

Sally Acorn/Bunnie Rabbot/Nicole/Antoine/Rotor/Vanilla/Sir Charles Hedgehog/Rob o': What?

Zecora/Thorax/Ember: Say, what?!?!

Sticks/Zooey/Perci/Kyle/Staci/Gold/Og/Wolf SIdekick: WHA..?!?!

Jewel Pixie Animals: Oh no!

Cosmo/Marine/Sonia/Manic/Sonar/Galaxina/Maria/Lina: Uh, what?

Mina Mongoose/Shard/Tikal/Shade/Gadget/Geoffrey St. John: What?!

Cliff/Q.N.C./Tangle/Whisper/Jewel/Chip/Honey: Wait, what?!

[Chaos, Cheese, Chocola, Crusher, Yacker, and Omochao were visibly shocked]

Sonic: How is that possible, I thought we- [suddenly hears the Phantom Ruby sounds as the storm guards vanish in thin air, everyone gasps as they realize they've been fooled] A illusion?! B-But that means-

Shadow: [facepalms] Darn it, they played us...

Infinite: [warps in] Indeed we did!

Team Sonic: Infinite!

Sonic: This was all a trick to distract us so Tempest could capture the princesses without interference, wasn't it?!

Infinite: Indeed, I mean, seriously, did you really think you'd be able to protect them forever?!

Sonic: I was hoping...

Infinite: Of course you would! [laughs] Your teamwork and friendship is pathetic.

Cutie-Mark Crusaders: Is not!!!

Silver: [to Infinite; angrily] Does anyone but you believe your lies?!

Knuckles: Yeah! Give it a rest already!

Infinite: Pfft, no matter, it wouldn't be worth it to finish you off here anyway.

Sonic: [groans angrily] I've had enough! [revs up] Who do you think you are anyway?! [charges towards Infinite]

Tails: Wait, Sonic, what are you-

Sonic: [picking up speed as he uses his boost] You're mine! [attempts to punch Infinite only for him to block it] What?!

Infinite: Did you forget who I am?! [fires a laser from his palm at Sonic (to which he dodges) and the latter uses his Homing Attack on Infinite, only for the hedgehog to be kicked into the air and then roundhouse kicked into a rock, cratering it from the impact]

Sonic: [gets up; to Infinite] Do you think you're invincible now that the Ruby's overclocked, you're forgetting that I've defeated you before, buddy! [charges up Light Speed Attack before spindashing towards Infinite at full force, only for him to repel the blue blur back]

[Sonic]

This has to stop now

Whatever it is that you're going through,

we'll fix it together - me and you

Just like we've always done

[Infinite]

No! This has to stop now

This thing where you think that you've been my foe

And don't even hear how you condescend

The way you've always done

[Sonic]

Infinite, listen

[Infinite]

I'm listening

[Sonic]

I know it isn't true

[Infinite]

Isn't it?

[Sonic]

Just look into my eyes now

[Infinite]

Well?

[Sonic]

I know you feel it too

[Infinite]

Perhaps I do

[Sonic]

Infinite, listen

[Infinite]

I'm listening

[Sonic]

I swear it's not too late

So before another line gets crossed

and everything we've had is lost

just wait...

[Infinite]

Wait? No, I won't wait.

There's a line between the winners and the losers

There's a line between the chosen and the rest

And I've done the best I could

But I've always known just where we stood

Me here with the luckless

You there with the blessed

And that line between the beggars and the choosers

is a line you never let me quite ignore

How I've tried to jump that great divide!

But I've never got the chances you were given

You don't know how much I've been denied

Well, I'm not being patient anymore

I'm crossing the line!

And I'm done holding back

So look out, clear the track, it's my turn!

I'm taking what's mine

Every drop, every smidge

If I'm burning a bridge, let it burn!

But I'm crossing the line...

As for us, if we're over, that's fine...

I'm crossing the line

[Sonic charges at Infinite, only for the Jackel to knock him back]

Infinite: Forget it, Sonic, just give up! [fires two lasers from his palms at Sonic (to which Sonic also dodges)]

Sonic: Not until you and Tempest release our friends! [dropdashes towards Infinite who just roundhouse kicks him again]

Infinite: If you insist, though before we continue, what would like your epitaph to read, how about, "Here lies the Blue Buffoon".

Sonic: [clenches his fist] Why not "Here dozes the Masked Clown". Gotta make one for the person who needs it, right? [spindashes into Infinite only to get hit by his laser]

Infinite: It's like you're not even trying... Give up already, fighting me is useless now, Sonic, just face it, you've reached your limit!

Sonic: [his eyes shrink in anger] Limit? LIMIT?! [speeds off to the other side of the beach at the Speed of Sound, startling everyone]

Tails: WHOA!

Infinite: What in the- What's he doing?!

Shadow: Tails, what's he up to?!

Moonlight: Yeah, what does he think he's doing?!

Tails: [looking at the Miles Electric] I-I don't know, he's running faster than I thought he could. [tracking his location] He's on the other side of the beach!

Sonic: [enraged; as he revs up] LIMIT!? I'VE GOT YOUR "LIMIT" RIGHT HERE! [speeds back towards with a Sonic Boom, breaking the sound barrier in the process, before boosting right into Infinite like a speeding locomotive, sending him flying backwards into a wall] H-HA! H-How's that for my limit, Infinite?

[To Sonic's absolute shock, Infinite had warped behind him without even a scratch]

Infinite: It's just fine, Sonic, although, I'm a little annoyed that you dented my helmet.

Sonic: [horrified] NO WAY!

Infinite: But still not powerful enough to do anything! MY TURN! [roundhouse kicks Sonic into a rock with enough force to crack it] Face it, I bested you, I deceived you, I outsmarted you, I WON!

[Sonic then gets launched into the air by Infinite, who then blasts lasers from his palms, before using four Infinite illusions to pummel him for a little while]

Sonic: Could use a little help here, guys!

[Infinite delivers one last blow on Sonic, slamming him into the sand in front of the others, who look on with concern. Sonic tries to lift himself up, but to no success as he has no strength left to do so, and collapses in defeat, much to everyone's horror]

Tails: [horrified] Sonic!

Amy Rose and Sapphire: [in tearful unison] NO!!!!!

Infinite: [as he hovers down to the Blue Blur and grabs him by the neck] Heed my words, Sonic. In time, everything you have ever known will come, and go. And don't worry about your precious alicorn princesses, I guarantee you that they'll be a lot better once the Storm King has their magic! [laughs maniacally as he he drops Sonic and warps away, leaving the hedgehog broken and bruised]

Sonic: [weakly] Infinite... I'm... Not through yet...

Amy Rose: [running to him with tears flowing down her cheeks] Sonic, are you okay?!

Sonic: [struggles to his feet] Well, I don't seem to have any broken bones... That I know of at least.

Sapphire: [looks over him] Confirmed, none of your bones seem to be damaged.

Tails: I'm sorry, Sonic, we should've told you to stop while you were still standing, but I guess we were too reluctant...

Sonic: [smiles] Don't sweat it, I'll heal.

Tails: [falls to his knees; tearing up] I-It's over... Celestia, Luna, Cadance and the Mane Nine are finally captured, the Storm King's won! [sobs]

Sonic: [looks on] Yeah, for now...

Amy Rose: For now? What do you...?

Sonic: Well, we're still breathing, aren't we? And we've still got the Hippogriffs for support, right?

Queen Novo: [sighs] Yes.

Sonic: Great, just wanted to make sure you didn't change your mind.

Knuckles: What are you saying?

Sonic: What I'm saying is, we still have a chance to turn this around, assuming we come up with a plan on how we're gonna do this first...

Shadow: Great, what'd we do now?!

Moonlight: We gotta save Twilight and the others!

Silver: Yeah, it's just a matter of how...

Open Up Your Eyes/Reinforcements Arrive/Preparing for the Final Battle
[Inside the ship, the princesses were trying desperately to break the cage to little effect]

[Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Celestia and Luna try to kick their way out]

[Starlight, Rarity, Twilight and Cadance blast the bars with magic to break them but to no avail]

Rainbow Dash: There's just gotta be a way out!

Applejack: And how do you plan on finding it?

Twilight Sparkle: [sighs] It's no use, it's like the cage is nullifying our magic.

Sunset Shimmer: Like how some of those storm creatures reflected our magic with those shields earlier...

Starlight Glimmer: [sees Tempest walk in] Uh, girls?

Trixie Lulamoon: What's wrong, Starlight?

[Tempest chuckles to herself, the ponies gasp]

Tempest Shadow: Aww, the "Princesses of the Sun, Moon, Love, and Harmony". [chuckles] With no way out!

Rarity: Just what's so funny about that?!

Tempest Shadow: Oh nothing, though I must admit, your friendships with the others, though pathetic, got you far, until now...

Pinkie Pie: What would you know about friendship?!

Princess Celestia: Tempest, we can help you.

Princess Luna: But only if you let us.

Princess Cadance: It doesn't have to be like this.

Twilight Sparkle: Yeah, why are you even doing this? You're a pony! Just like us...

Tempest Shadow: [angrily zaps the cage with her magic, causing the princesses to yelp] I'm nothing like you! I'm more than you'll ever be.

[Tempest Shadow]

It's time you learned a lesson

It's time that you understand

Don't ever count on anybody else

In this or any other land

I once hoped for friendship

To find a place among my kind

But those were the childish wishes

Of someone who was blind

Open up your eyes

See the world from where I stand

Me, among the mighty

You, caged at my command

Open up your eyes

Give up your sweet fantasy land

It's time to grow up and get wise

Come now, little one, open up your eyes

[We zoom in on Tempest's eye and a flashback starts with a younger Tempest with her full horn and two friends of hers, one a blue colt and the other a turquoise filly, levitating a ball with their magic]

We all start out the same

With simple naive trust

Shielded from the many ways

That life's not fair or just

But then there comes a moment

A simple truth that you must face

If you depend on others

You'll never find your place

[The ursa minor from Boast Busters appears from the shadows and attacks Tempest, scratching her right eye and breaking her horn. Sometime later, the colt and filly are playing with the ball when Tempest comes over, saddened at the loss of her horn. She tries to levitate the ball but to no avail, only to produced sparks and zaps. Frightened, her friends take the ball and run off eventually running into an orange filly who they play with happily. Tempest sadly watches as they leave. Then tearing up, she walks sadly away before glaring and running up a hill. She takes on last look at her home village as storm clouds start to gather before turning angrily away and trotting off, glaring as she goes. The flashback ends showing the Mane Nine and the Princesses looking shocked]

And as you take that first step

Upon a path that's all your own

You see it all so clearly

The best way to survive is all alone

Open up your eyes

See the world from where I stand

Me, among the mighty

You, caged at my command

Open up your eyes

And behold the faded light

It's time to grow up and get wise

Come now, little one, open up your eyes

Open up your eyes!

[Tempest pulled a lever that made the alicorns' cage rise up to the top deck. The girls shielded their eyes from the light before looking shocked ahead at the storm clouds and ships over Canterlot. They looked down sadly before Tempest came up onto the top deck]

Fluttershy: T-That's so horrible!

Pinkie Pie: I never knew it was like that...

Twilight Sparkle: We're so sorry you felt so alone.

Tempest Shadow: I saw the truth. My "friends" abandoned me when times got tough. Now I would recommend you stop trying to escape, you're here until further notice.

[Tempest walked away, leaving the Mane Nine and the Princesses alone in their cage, on top of the airship, Infinite was looking beyond the horizon, thinking about his own past]

Infinite: [voiceover] Believe it or not, I didn't always rely on the Phantom Ruby, no... Before Mobius was merged with Equestria, I was the leader of a doomed squad that was sent in as bodyguards for one of Eggman's facilities. Unfortunately, every single member of that squad fell, leaving me as the only one left.

[The scene flashbacks to Shadow looking for some cover while intruding on the entrance of Eggman's Facility. The hedgehog reaches for his communicator watch on his wrist. The camera cuts to the area where Infinite leaps from stone pillar to stone pillar finding a spot to attack Shadow.]

Dr. Eggman: [over radio] Hey, you! I know you can hear me! You're captain of Squad Jackal, aren't you?! Your squad was useless! GO CLEAN UP THEIR MESS ALREADY!

Infinite: Yeah, yeah, I got it... You. You destroyed my squad. I'll show you why they call me the Ultimate Mercenary! Take [charges at Shadow] THIS!

[Shadow activates Chaos Control]

Infinite: What?!

[Shadow attacks Infinite with a roundhouse kick, launching the jackal in the air, and slams him down with his two fists, making him fall to the ground. Shadow delivers the final blow to Infinite with another roundhouse kick, launching him into another stone pillar, where Infinite can be heard groaning as he struggles to get up from getting easily thrashed by Shadow and his chaos powers]

Shadow: [steps on top of a nearby stone, looking down at Infinite] Worthless. Don't show your pathetic face around me ever again.

[The camera cuts to Infinite's point of view as Shadow teleports away to continue his mission]

Infinite: I... I'm shaking... Me? Me... Afraid...?! [fades to the player's point of view] Ugh. Pathetic?! Me... [gets up] He's calling ME weak?! No...! I am not weak. I'm... I'm not. I'm not weak! I AM NOT WEEEEAAAAK! URRRAAAAAAAAAAAAGGH!

[The scene cuts to about a month before Eggman took over Mobius, Infinite is seen putting on his mask, and showing off the finalized Phantom Ruby on his chest. A red aura surrounds the jackal as he spreads his arms out.]

Infinite: [voiceover] That day, I gave up my own unsightly face. And I let go of the old me, the one that was so weak, so that I could become stronger. And then, at last... I obtained the power. The power to make all yield to my will. I... was... REBORN!

[End of Flashback]

Infinite: [voiceover] And the rest, as they say, is history...

[Back on the beach, a majority of the group were figuring out a plan on how to save Equestria]

Sonic: Alright, we don't want to waste any time, the sooner we figure out how to save the princesses, the better!

Amy Rose: That could take a while though, and what's stopping us from just, I don't know, breaking into the airship and rescuing them ourselves.

Shadow: Tempest is likely already back in Equestria by now, so it wouldn't be worth it.

Tails: Well, we have to do something, we have to get our friends back!

Sonic: Yeah... [sighs] I still can't believe Infinite tricked us, I mean, c'mon, I'm suppose to be the fastest, but I was too slow to realize those storm guards were just illusions...

Sally Acorn: It wasn't your fault, Sonic, he fooled everyone.

Discord: I for one want to know how he even does that.

Gadget: The Phantom Ruby is the source of his powers, Discord.

Bunnie Rabbot: Yeah, it's kinda what powers him, but he's even more powerful now with that thing being overclocked.

Shining Armor: Yeah, and I don't think Tempest isn't gonna make getting to the castle easy...

Capper: Well, good thing I happen to know of a group of mighty heroes that could handle this easily!

Rouge: Well! Look what the cat dragged in!

Diamond: Himself!

Cream: Capper?

Caramel: What's he doing here?

Capper: These heroes have faced the Storm King's armies and escaped! I've seen them topple the streets of the roughest towns, break out of the tightest situations, and inspire others to join their cause!

Spike: Ooooh.

Shadow: Now don't get too excited. He's just talking about us.

All [except Shadow]: Awww.

Apple Bloom: You really take the fun out of things sometimes, Shadow.

Big: It's not his fault, it's just how he works.

Capper: They even escaped certain doom at the hooves of Commander Tempest!

Emerl: Yeah. That was pretty great.

Captain Celaeno: Are you kidding me?! That was awesome!

Squabble: [squawks]

Mina Mongoose: Captain Celaeno and her pirates!

Sticks: What are you guys doing here?

Boyle: Figured you could use a claw!

Captain Celaeno: We're on board to help you fight the Storm King! Just not on board our... actual ship.

Mullet: That crazy unicorn sunk it. But you got back our argh! And we're ready to kick some booty.

Boyle and other pirates: [laugh heartily]

Mighty: Well, looks like we have more backup then.

Ray: Sweet!

Sonic: Glad to have your help. [sighs] You know, if there's one thing that working with all of you has taught me, it's that the things that can't be defeated are heart, soul, and the bonds of teamwork and friendship. Three things the Storm King and his storm guard lackeys lack!

Tails: Yeah, and one loss shouldn't get us down, I mean, we've all done great things, haven't we?

Silver: Indeed, the amount of times we've saved the world is beyond belief at this point.

Blaze: I'm going to agree, it feels like we're saving it on a daily basis.

Charmy: So what do we do?

Sonic: Well I don't know about you, but I'd say we go back to Canterlot and show the Storm King what for! Will you stand with me?

Eclipse: Of course, Equestria isn't gonna save itself, so I'll stand with you.

Firefly: Yeah, I'm ready.

Sonia: Me and Manic are too.

Manic: I mean, siblings have got to stick together.

Amy Rose: I'm with you no matter what, Sonic!

Star Swirl: Hedgehog, say the word and we'll follow you into battle.

Jet: This could very well work, I'm in!

Sweetie Belle: Yeah, we have to save my sister and the others no matter what!

Cream: What about you, Queen Novo, you still with us?

Queen Novo: Of course, we're willing to help you save your friends and their home.

Princess Skystar: Yeah, after all, one small thing... [whispering] can make a really big difference!

Marine: That's great!

Scootaloo: Awesome!

Sonic: Okay then, then it's settled, it's time to save the day!

[Everyone suddenly hears mumbling and looks to see Eggman and his minions walking towards them]

Dr. Eggman: I swear if I ever see that traitorous jackel again- [notices Sonic and the others] Oh great, I run into my mortal enemies, my long deceased cousin reincarnated as a hedgehog, and my old revenge obsessed robot, who wants to destroy me, big whoop!

Lien-Da: Woop-de-flipping-do.

Maria: Oh my...

Sonic: Eggman, what are you even doing here?

Shard the Metal Sonic: Yeah, haven't you caused enough trouble already.

Omega: Eliminate Eggman! [loads his cannon]

Gamma: Hold your fire, Omega.

D-Fekt: More importantly, why aren't you and your minions on the Egg Carrier?

Decoe: You're not the only ones having a bad day, y'know.

Bocoe: Yeah, our day's been a real space odyssey.

Lien-Da: Long story short, Infinite turned on us, and blew up the Egg Carrier.

Bokkun: Which wasn't nice in the slightest!

Dr. Eggman: But if you're talking about going to Canterlot to rescue your friends, I want in.

Lina: Wait, how did you-

Cubot: We kinda noticed the princesses getting captured when we got out of the ocean.

Orbot: Quite the unfortunate turn of events for your friends I must add.

Doctor Starline: No kidding, I'm actually somewhat impressed at Infinite though.

Dr. Eggman: But seriously, are you gonna let me help or not...

Sonic: I don't know, I mean, how do I know you won't betray us and try to take their magic for yourself to power up some robot or something.

Metal Sonic: Come on, you know mobians can't use magic.

Snivley: Can you just accept it and be done with it.

Sonic: Ugh, fine...

Dr. Eggman: Good, but just remember that this is only a temporary truce, once the Storm King's invasion is foiled, it's back to business as usual.

Espio: Somehow we knew you'd say that.

Knuckles: Yeah, but okay, enough wasting time already. Let's go save Equestria!

Tails: We're coming, Princesses!

Everyone: [cheers]

Tails: As soon as we bake up a plan!

Sonic: Bake... [gasp] Tails, you genius, you've given me a idea!

Tails: I have?

Sonic: Yes, all we need is a cart, a disguise for Capper, a fake shipping order and a big honking cake.

Sally Acorn: Alright, in that case, let-

Sonic: Hey, can I say it?

Sally Acorn: [giggles] Alright.

Sonic: Freedom Fighters and citizens of Equestria and Beyond, let Operation Princess Rescue commence!

The Storm King takes the Magic/Team Sonic and Friends to the Rescue/Night Falls/Team Sonic vs. Infinite/Infinite's Defeat
[Over in Canterlot, the Storm King's army was keeping a eye on all the captured ponies and making sure no one was trying to escape, Songbird Serenade sat gloomy in a cage]

[Songbird Serenade]

I am here and I see your pain

Through the storms, through the clouds, the rain

I'm telling you you can not escape

[A storm guard hits her cage to shut her up]

Songbird Serenade: [sighs]

[Celestia looks around, enslaved ponies are seen in every direction, the other princesses look devastated, the Mane Six spot Songbird, Tempest Infinite eventually brings the 12 alicorns to the throne room]

Tempest Shadow: Okay, now how are we gonna do this...

Infinite: I think I have a solution.

[10 seconds later]

Infinite: And done! [had put the ponies in smaller cages and placed them in a circle near where the Storm King's staff was suppose to go] There we go, my work here is complete. [warps away]

Twilight Sparkle: This is bad.

Princess Celestia: Tempest, don't do this. Don't give the Storm King-

Tempest Shadow: Your magic? Did you think you'd keep it all to yourselves? Time to share. I'd love for everybody out there to know what I can really do.

Applejack: [sighs] That's it then? We're doomed?

Pinkie Pie: Yeah, this can't be how the movie ends, can it?

Princess Cadance: [notices a shadow] We may not have to wait long to find out...

The Storm King: Ooh, fascinating! What can you really do? [comes out of the shadows with the Staff of Sacanas in his hand]

Grubber: Your bidding, of course, Your Mighty One. [bowed down before the Storm King, while Tempest stood still like an obedient soldier. When nothing else happened, Grubber quickly ran out the room, closing the door behind him. Tempest rolled her eyes at his cowardliness]

Rainbow Dash: Saw that coming.

Sunset Shimmer: Yeah...

Princess Luna: Figures.

Trixie Lulamoon: I have a bad feeling about this...

The Storm King: Eh, what can I say, bidding's good. I like bidding. [notices the ponies] Um, what are you supposed to be?

[the ponies look at the Storm King, clearly not amused]

Starlight Glimmer: Really?!

Rarity: It's fairly obvious what we are darling!

Fluttershy: Yeah, we're the princesses of Equestria!

The Storm King: [laughs] Oh. That's nice. [to Tempest] Why are they all still moving?!

Tempest Shadow: They and their friends put up a bit of a fight, but we finally got them in the end. Either way, they won't be a problem.

The Storm King: Yeah. So, speaking of problems, this place, it seems a little too—oh, I don't know— CUTE!!! I don't like cute. I never did like cute. Doesn't really go with my whole "big bad powerful magic guy" thing, does it? Deliver the punchline, Tempest, because this has gotta be a joke! [lifted his staff over his head and slammed its end into the floor. Incidentally, he had slipped it right into a small oval shaped hole, which connected to the symbol of the four petaled flower in the center of the room, where the alicorns had been placed] Huh? [gasps]

[The princesses tried to move their hooves, but the force of the ritual kept them solidified on the ground against their own will. Illuminating vein-like forms began to manifest on their bodies, holding them in place as they felt their magic get yanked right out of them. Their eyes glowed and magic came swirling out of their horns]

Twilight Sparkle: [struggling] No!

Pinkie Pie: [struggling] This can't be happening!

Rainbow Dash: [struggling] This is impossible!

Rarity: [struggling] I feel weak!

Applejack: [struggling] I don't feel so good!

Fluttershy: [struggling] Help!

Princess Celestia: [struggling] Our magic is fading!

Princess Luna: [struggling] He can't do that to us!

Princess Cadance: [struggling] It can't be!

Starlight Glimmer: [struggling] This hurts too much!

Sunset Shimmer: [struggling] Make it stop!

Trixie Lulamoon: [struggling] Get us out of here!

[The staff continues draining the magic, causing a great deal of pain towards the ponies as well, it was like having their magic drained by Tirek, only TEN TIMES as painful]

The Storm King: [laughs] Check out the light show!

[Outside, Equestria was starting to lose its' color a little, frightening even the storm creatures, it was no wonder Queen Novo didn't want to face the Storm King again. No wonder Captain Celaeno was so terrified of his wrath. The Storm King was truly a monster in every sense of the word]

[The staff sparked with intense magical energy and once the Storm King removed it, he could feel its power coursing every bone and muscle in his body, by this point, the twelve alicorns' colors had dulled and their Cutie Marks had disappeared, Pinkie's mane and tail had even deflated and Celestia and Luna's manes and tails had stopped flowing]

The Storm King: Wow! Wow!

[The twelve alicorns' eyes stopped glowing, tinting with grey a little, they then gasped in pain as their legs went numb and they collapsed to the bottom of their respective cages, weak and paralyzed from the whole ordeal. They wanted to believe there was still hope, but their magic was now gone and their friends didn't know where they were, in other words, all hope truly was lost]

The Storm King: Let's get this storm started! Ooh, hey, that's good. I should trademark that. [uses the staff to hit the princesses out the room, breaking their cages like they were made of glass in the process]

Mane Nine/Princesses: [yelp in pain as they rolled onto the balcony. Debris and shards of the window flew across the floor. Smoke from the impact clouded their vision but the Storm King's towering presence manifest faster than the girls wished]

The Storm King: Not bad. Actually, kinda first rate. What else does it do?

Tempest Shadow: Your Excellency, you promised to restore my horn and give me-

The Storm King: Deh-deh-deh-deh-deh, okay. Hang on. [raises the staff and the sun mimics the movement] [gasps] You gotta be kidding me! I can move the sun?! [laughs] Aha ha! Wow! Now this is what I'm talking about! Ha ha! Time to play! [continues to use the staff to raise the sun and moon] Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday! Day, night! Day, night! Day night! Day night! Day night! Sunrise, sunset! [humming gleefully]

[The alicorns look on in horror]

[wheels clanking]

Spike: [breathing fire]

[shields clang]

Capper: Uh, yeah, I got a delivery here for a Mister "The Storm King". I was given explicit instructions to bring this here cake to this here castle's throne room.

[storm creatures growl]

[weapons brandishing]

Capper: All right, then. Look here. Could one o' y'all go be a pal, go tell your boss he's not gettin' his "congratulations on subduing defenseless pastel ponies" cake? 'Cause I don't wanna be the one responsible for the big guy missin' his special dessert. You know what I'm sayin'?

[storm creatures growl]

Capper: Thank you kindly, fellas. I'mma be sure and put in a good word for the botha y'all.

[storm creature snarls]

Moon Dancer: [quietly] If we're quiet, they won't suspect anything.

Lightning Dust: [quietly] Right.

[wheels clanking]

Grubber: Mmm! Pie! Oh, hello, cake! Ooh! Don't mind if I do!

[cake splatter]

Grubber: Mmm! That's some, like, gourmet ithing! Who putth eyeballth in filling? [hyperventilates] Guards!

[storm creatures growl]

Capper: Uh-oh. Plan B?

Firefly: The jig is up!

[slow motion sounds]

[At that moment, Team Sonic and the rest of their friends arrive]

Sonic: [to his friends] Let's go!

Shadow: For Equestria!

Jewel Pixie Animals: Be careful, everyone!

[The heroes charged forward, yelling and shouting, and began fighting their way through the army of storm guards. Gunfire of various types fly everywhere as the projectile using heroes unleash various firepower on the approaching storm creatures]

[Chorus]

Watch your back, watch your back

Watch your back, watch your back

We can counter their attack

Hit them 'til the armor cracks

[Dr. Eggman]

This could get a little sticky

Handling this battle could be tricky

But I know the best way

Fall back, let me lead

You fall in line

And we'll bring them to their knees

[Sonic]

Swords in the air if you're with me

They got us out numbered one to fifty

The victory is ours 'cause I got a strategy

you take the left and the rest of you can follow me (uh uh)

This is my crew

[Dr. Eggman]

Well this is my squad

[Sonic]

This is my turf

[Tails]

Oh my gosh, look guys

We've got bigger fish to fry

Put your differences aside

Cause right now we're on the same side

[Chorus]

Until the night falls

Everyone

We'll stay together 'til the battle is done

Watch your back, watch your back

Watch your back, watch your back

We can counter their attack

Hit them 'til the armor cracks

Until the night falls

We're aligned

It doesn't mean that we're on the same side

Watch your back, watch your back

watch your back, watch your back

Hit them hard and hit them fast

they're too heavy to react.

[Sonic]

This situation's getting kind of heavy

Hold your weapons tight keep them steady

'Cause if we stick together we can make it out alive

I'll cause a distraction you attack them from the side

[Dr. Eggman]

All my soldiers stand if you're ready

We can cut them up like a confetti

We'll hit them from the front, you counter from behind

And don't forget the fate of Equestria's on the line

[Chorus]

This is all-out war

they got us out numbered

The way the swords crash is the sound of the thunder.

[Sonic]

And we are not going under

We will never run for cover

[Chorus]

We battle for the victory

And ride for each other

Until the night falls

Everyone

We'll stay together 'til the battle is done

Back to back, back to back

Back to back, back to back

We can counter their attack

Hit them 'til the armor cracks

Until the night falls

We're aligned

It doesn't mean that we're on the same side

Back to back, back to back

Back to back, back to back

Hit them hard and hit them fast

They're too heavy to react.

[Sonic]

Suit of armor strong and true, make this metal bust a move!

[Chorus]

(Hahahaha) Ahhh-ahhh

Ahhh-ahhh

Ahhh-ahhh-ahhh-ahh

Ahhh-ahhh Ahhh-ahhh

Until the night falls

You can trust

I'm gonna help you in this battle because

I got your back, got your back

Got your back, got your back

All for one and that's a fact

Knights fall pitch black

Shine: We're going to find Twilight and the others! The rest of your take care of the rest!

Pearl: Alright, you've got it!

Digit: Just, be careful, guys.

Majesty: We will.

Amour: I mean, we have been through worst.

[Shine nods as she and the rest of the Mane 9's Jewel Pixie Animals flew to find the princesses]

Sally Acorn: It's showtime! [activates her ring blades and slashes through the storm guards' spears]

Omega: Targets reconfirmed. Extermination mode initiated. Payback for false enemy trick INEVITABLE. [fires at the storm guards coming close at him with Gamma and Shard helping]

Captain Celaeno: Come on!

Antoine: Take no prisoners!

Dr. Eggman: [in the Egg Dragoon] Wasn't counting on it!

Mullet: Harr!

Princess Skystar: Oof! [grunts] Gotcha!

Squabble: [squawks]

Lix Spittle: [grunts and laughs]

[storm creature yelling]

Knuckles: Take this! [knocks out several storm guards]

Tails: [flies by in the Tornado] Combot mode, ingaged! [presses a button and the Tornado enters its' cyclone state before proceeding to fire at several storm guards]

Lien-Da: [attacking several storm guards] Back off!

Tangle: [smacks several storm guards with her tail] You messed with the wrong people!

Whisper: [using her Variable Wispons' many mades to attack the storm guards] How's that?

Shadow: Chaos Control! [stops time and knocks out a good number of storm creatures] Pathetic.

Metal Sonic: [blasts several storm creatures away with his laser] Eliminate the enemies!

Manic: Prepare to rock and roll, dudes! [attacks several storm guards with his hammer wispon]

Sonia: Take that! [blasts through several storm guards with her burst wispon]

Silver: Chaotix, now! [psycho-kinetically immobilizing several storm guards, which the Chaotix members knock out shortly afterwards]

Vector: Oh yeah!

Espio: Too easy.

Charmy: Yahoo!

[Julie-Su, Saffron, Mighty and Ray could be seen attacking more storm guards]

Mighty: Is that all ya got, bub?!

Ray: Yeah, come on, come get some!

[several storm guards trip over a ribbon made by Capper, Mina, and Honey]

Mina Mongoose: Lovely!

Honey: Alright!

Doctor Starline: [a storm guard lunges at him, but he uses the Warp Topaz to warp behind it] Over here! [the storm guard lunges at him again, only for him to teleport again] Missed me! [punches the storm guard] Haha, woo! I wonder if Eggman saw that.

[Amy smashes a storm guard with her Piko Piko Hammer]

Amy Rose: Don't mess with me!

[Rouge, Blaze, Emerl, and Gmerl can be seen taking out more storm guards]

Blaze: Feel my flames!

Emerl: Take this!

Gmerl: And one of these!

Chocola: Chao-chao!

Rouge: [spinkicks into a storm guards] You storm creatures have bad taste.

Cream: [whimpers] Ooh!

[storm creature growls]

Cream: You seem tense. Do you wanna talk about it? Pretty please?

Cheese: Chao-chao?

Storm Creature: Huh?

Captain Celaeno: Yeah!

Sonic: Yahoo! [Sonic Boosts through several storm creatures]

Captain Celaeno: Head for the castle! We'll hold them off!

Sonic: On it, come on guys!

Gadget: Here we come!

Big: Let's do this!

[storm creature blubbering]

Cream: Let it all out.

Everyone else: Cream!

Cream: Oh! Sorry, our time is up. Buh-bye!

Storm Creature: Goodbye!

[The heroes runs to the castle, more troops and Villain Leaguers came]

Dreamcaster: Here comes more of them!

Kyle: More enemies to smash!

Princess Skystar: Keep going!

Queen Novo: We'll hold them off!

Sonic: You've got it!

Princess Skystar: Shelly? Sheldon?

Shelly and Sheldon: [chattering]

[Shelly and Sheldon hits one of the storm guard's eyes]

Storm Creature: [grunts] I can't see!

Gmerl: We're almost there, keep it up!

[Team Sonic and the others charge forward, easily tearing through the guards as they advance]

[storm creatures growl]

Vector: What the heck? More guards?!

Charmy: Oh no, there's so many of them!

Omega: All the more to annihilate! [blasts several storm creatures]

Capper: [to Spike] Hey, ain't you a fire-breathin' dragon?

Spike: [breathes fire]

Capper: [laughs]

[storm creatures scream]

Tempest Shadow: [notices the commotion from the balcony] What?! HOW?!?

Twilight Sparkle: [gasps] It's... It's the Magic of...

The Storm King: Yeah, yeah! Friendship, and flowers, and ponies, and bleh! I'm so totally over the cute pony thing.

Infinite: [notices Sonic] So, the little blue savior and his friends came back to save the day, hmph, not if I have anything to say about it! [drops down from the castle]

[While the alicorn princesses back away slowly; the Mane Nine's Jewel Pixie Animals suddenly flew in to them]

Shine: Alright, we finally found you all!

Twilight Sparkle: [gasps] Shine! Everyone!

[The Jewel Pixie Animals embrace their owners]

Starlight Glimmer: Thank goodness you're all okay! How did you find us?

Majesty: We flew all the way to the castle to find you all once we made it back to Canterlot.

Tart: There were a couple guards but we were able to avoid them pretty easily.

Rainbow Dash: Really impressive for little fairies like you to do that.

Twilight Sparkle: Tempest and the Storm King are present, so they better not see you or any of the others.

Shine: Got it!

[The Mane Nine's Jewel Pixie Animals quickly hid in the ponies manes to avoid detection; the scene cuts to outside]

Sonic: [rushes in to confront Infinite] Hey, Infinite! Long time no see! Did you miss me?

[As Infinite speaks, Sonic is joined by rest of his friends, the Eggman Empire and the Jewel Pixie Animals]

Infinite: Why yes, I did. I've been looking forward to finishing you and your annoying friends. [Unleashes a powerful wave of energy, knocking back the group] I trust you're all ready for oblivion? If you're not... oh well. Once this battle is over, I will burn this planet to ashes, and you along with it!

Lien-Da: Infinite, listen to me! You are not yourself, the Phantom Ruby's overclocked state has corrupted you!

Sonic: It doesn't matter if you have to go through me or my friends, we're not letting the Storm King take over Equestria!

Silver: Exactly!

Infinite: Hmph, no matter Hedgehog, even if you did survive our last encounter, I still have enough power to smash you into blue jelly. I'll show you and your entire team how outclassed you really are!

Sonic: I'm in a class all my own. Eitherway, time to put-up or shut up, [points at Infinite] Infinite!

Infinite: [grins evilly] Then let this be our final battle!

Sonic: [nods; to Team Sonic] Let's get him.

[Team Sonic nod and all nine of them charge at Infinite, though it was nine on one, the battle was technically in Infinite's favor due to the Phantom Ruby, though eventually, the jackel was beginning to get annoyed and the groups' refusel to give up]

Infinite: [groans angrily] Is there no end to you annoying insects?!

Sonic: Can you just give up already, it doesn't matter what you throw at us, we'll never give up!

[Infinite gives a cold chuckle which straight up turns into demented laughter; concerning everyone]

Infinite: FOOLS! I have more power than you will ever have! [charges up a powerful energy wave] Now Sonic, perish, along with your useless friends! [unleashes the energy wave, but Team Sonic summon the Chaos Emeralds, which put a protective barrier over them] WHAT?!

Sonic: [serious; clenching his fist] My friends got me this far, and together we're gonna win! [to Team Sonic] Let's do it!

[Team Sonic transform into their super forms; surprising the jackel]

Super Sonic: Time for a little Super Sonic action!

Infinite: [groans angrily; but then smirks] Well, if you can last in those forms, then you might actually be worthy opponents to fight, but you will still lose!

Super Shadow: Keep telling yourself that!

[Team Sonic and Infinite engage in a full on battle that looked like it came straight out of Dragon Ball Z, but this time, Team Sonic had the upperhand, thanks to their super form enhanced skills, infuriating Infinite, who's body began glitching]

Infinite: [breathes heavily] H-How could this be?! I don't understand, the Phantom Ruby should be more powerful than the Chaos Emeralds, your super forms can't be that strong!

Super Tails: Maybe not if you fought us individually.

Super Knuckles: But you're kinda facing nine opponents at once.

Super Amy: Yeah, face it, Infinite, you're through!

Super Cream: Yeah, you meanie, go away!

Infinite: [his eyes shrink in insane fury] You know what, that does it, that's it! This planet is history, here me Hedgehog, YOU'RE FINISHED!!!

[Team Sonic's eyes shrunk a little]

Super Sonic: (What? But if he destroys the planet, then we'll all die...)

Infinite: [breathes heavily] I don't need this stupid planet, I'll just charge my laser to max and blow the WHOLE THING UP!

Super Rouge: He can't seriously be thinking about destroying the world, can he?

Super Silver: [sighs] He's been relying on the Phantom Ruby for too long, his sanity must be utterly destroyed because of it....

Burning Blaze: Well, we're not gonna let him kill everyone we love, are we?

Super Shadow: No, of course not...

Infinite: [give Team Sonic a death stare] Team Sonic, dodge this next attack if you can, but even if I miss you, THIS WHOLE PLANET'S GOING UP IN SMOKE!!! [his body glows in a dark red aura as he charges up all the Phantom Ruby energy he can muster]

Super Sonic: Infinite, have you gone mad?!? 'Cause you're not so calm and quiet as always!

Infinite: [flies up as he prepares to fire his Phantom Ruby; laughs maniacally] SAY GOODBYE TO YOUR PLANET, HEDGEHOG!

Super Knuckles: Infinite is going crazy!

Super Sonic: Alright, guys, we've only got one shot at this, if we fail, Infinite wins!

Super Amy: Right.

Super Tails: We're with you, Sonic!

[Team Sonic charge up their chaos energy, preparing for Final Color Blaster]

[Everyone stared in suspense, after several minutes, both Team Sonic and Infinite's attacks were fully charged]

Infinite: This is it, FIRE! [unleashes the laser]

Super Sonic: [serious] NOW!

[Team Sonic unleash Final Color Blaster, the two beams colliding with each other]

Infinite: [surprised] Wha- It can't be... Their attack is as powerful as mine!

Super Sonic: [struggling] Put your backs into it, guys!

Super Cream: [struggling] We're trying!

Super Shadow: [struggling] Keep going, if we transform back now, everything we've been through will of been for nothing!

Super Tails: [struggling] If we fail, everyone we care and love will die!

Super Amy: [struggling] Including us!

Super Knuckles: [struggling] We mustn't give up!

Super Rouge: [struggling] I don't even know how much longer we can hold!

Super Silver: [struggling] It's no use!

Burning Blaze: [struggling] It's either us or him, and I'd rather the victor be us!

[Everyone looked on, completely worried; Team Sonic were really struggling, their eyes closed as they tried to keep Infinite's attack from killing everyone]

Tikal: [flashback] The servers are, the seven Chaos. Chaos is power; power is enriched by the heart. The controller is the one that unifies the Chaos.

[Team Sonic's eyes opened; their bodies flowing with more chaos energy than before as they entered their Hyper Forms]

Infinite: [shocked] What?!

Cream/Silver/Blaze/Rouge/Shadow: This!

Sonic/Tails:Knuckles/Amy: Ends!

Team Sonic: NOW!

[with that, Team Sonic pushed everything they had into Final Color Blast, the beam completely pushed through Infinite's laser, and for the first time in months, Infinite had genuine fear on his face]

Infinite: [horrified] THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE! [tried desperately to increase his power, but it was no use, as the beam completely engulfed him] NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

[The Phantom Ruby stopped glowing, the energies that had caused it to become overclocked disintegrating; as the beam faded, Infinite fell right out of the sky, and crash landed on the ground, hard enough to leave a crater]

Hyper Sonic: All right! We won! [Team Sonic cheered]

Hyper Knuckles: I knew we'd do it!

Hyper Tails: YES!

Hyper Rouge: Piece of cake.

Hyper Shadow: [grins] Natually...

Hyper Silver: Yeah!

Hyper Amy: We did it!

Hyper Blaze: Infinite's finally defeated!

Hyper Cream: Alright!

Cheese: Chao-chao!

Jewel Pixie Animals: [cheer in joy]

Infinite's Redemption/The Storm King Betrays Tempest/The Princesses Save Tempest/Our Heroes Reunited
[Team Sonic flew down and returned to normal, Infinite got up, he looked like he wasn't finished just yet, but then he held his hands to his head, much to Team Sonic's confusion]

Infinite: Urrgh! My head! What have I done? What happened to me?! What did the Phantom Ruby turn me into?!

Knuckles: Uh, what happened to him?

Tails: Lien-Da mentioned that the Phantom Ruby was corrupting Infinite, like its' overclocked state and Infinite's constant use of it was effecting his mental state somehow.

Silver: Huh, I guess we managed to stabilize the ruby and return it to its' normal state.

Sonic: Yeah... [walks over to Infinite] Well Infinite, you fought well, but it was your own madness that caused your downfall, maybe if you understood friendship and teamwork better, things could've been different...

Infinite: [remorseful] I-I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. [looks down in shame] I didn't know there was another way.

Shadow: Hmm, I'll admit, when I first saw you during that recon mission with Team Dark, I'll admit, I was a little bit horrified knowing that I unknowingly caused your creation.

Infinite: You... Remember?

Shadow: Of course, but just forget about the past, after all, had I been in your shoes, I would've done the same thing.

Infinite: Right... [gets up] If you're going to have the Freedom Fighters arrest me, I'll come peacefully...

Amy Rose: [sighs] Infinite, please, we all know it was the Overclocked Phantom Ruby corrupting you.

Cream: Yeah, it was literally making you into a soulless monster.

Infinite: [looks around] Why did I even agree to join the Eggman Empire in the first place? I'm a fool...

Shadow: Well, the damage you caused has already been done, but, you can try and redeem yourself now so maybe you'll get a lighter sentence.

Infinite: [sighs] You're right. [grabs his sword] I promise to make this right! [rushes to several storm guards and defeats them with his sword and Phantom Ruby in powers (which were still intact), leaving some members of the Freedom Fighters stunned, even Grubber, who had finally escaped, only to run into Omega]

Grubber: Oh, uh... [holds up a right flag] I surrender?

Omega: Eh, destroying you wouldn't be worth it.

Shadow: [grins before noticing some of the Storm King's airships still in the sky] Hmm. [his Inhibitor Rings slide off his gloves before rocketing off to them, his chaos energy building up as he glowed in a red aura] CHAOS- [he wapred to the middle of the airships] BLAST! [unleashes a great explosion of chaos energy that completely destroys the airships; warps back, his Inhibitor Rings warping back to his gloves]

Sonic: Nice work, Shadow!

Shadow: Of course.

[The Storm King and Tempest, having watched the whole thing unfold were watching in shock]

Tempest Shadow: Oh you've gotta be kidding me?!

Twilight Sparkle: Guess you shouldn't of underestimated them, huh?

The Storm King: [groans angrily, but then looks at his staff before grinning evilly] This... ends... now! [uses the staff to create a massive storm that immediately be covers the entire sky with strong winds starting to carry the debris of several buildings and the unconscious forms of numerous storm guards]

Capper: Uh-oh.

Tails and Cream: [yelp]

Knuckles: [shocked] Whoa, you've got to be kidding. That's just a special effect, right?

Tails: No, it's not! While the Storm King's still got the staff, that storm's a part of our reality!

Espio: Unbelievable! What chance do we have against that?

Dr. Eggman: Okay, I've seen enough, sorry but I'm out, Eggman Empire, fall back, regroup, retreat!

[Eggman and his minions quickly make their way out of Canterlot]

Sticks: H-Hey!! Where are you going?! We're not even finished yet!!!

Shadow: EGGMAN, YOU COWARD!

Knuckles: COWARDS!!

Amy Rose: Let it be, guys! Let's just go before we get sucked in!

[Everyone quickly goes into hiding to avoid getting pulled in]

The Storm King: [maniacal laughter] Yeah!

Infinite: Move those feet, people!

[storm creatures yelling]

Grubber: Well, I did NOT see that coming.

Scootaloo: What do we do?

Lightning Dust: We'd have to be flying faster than a speeding Pegasus to break through that wind!

Sonic: Hmm, I think I have a idea...

Gmerl: What did you have in mind?

The Storm King: [maniacal laughter] Yeah! Now I truly am the Storm King! And the entire world will bow to my ba-ba-ba-boom, baby! [laughs]

Tempest Shadow: Yes, yes, you are every bit as powerful as I promised, sire, now, restore my horn and I swear to use my magic to serve you!

The Storm King: [laughs] Who cares about your dinky little unicorn horn?!

Tempest Shadow: But... we... we had an agreement!

The Storm King: Get with the program! I used you! It's kind of what I do!

[zaps]

Tempest Shadow: [yelps]

[zap!]

The Storm King: Ahh!

Tempest Shadow: [yelps]

The Storm King: [grunts]

Mane Nine/Princesses: [gasp]

The Storm King: Ow!

Tempest Shadow: [gasps, grunts]

[Twilight quickly grabs Tempest's hoof with the others helping her]

Pinkie Pie: Hold on!

Tempest Shadow: Why are you saving me?

Twilight Sparkle: Because this is what friends do.

[strings and harp play "Open Up Your Eyes"]

Fluttershy: Now hold on, please!

Princess Cadance: We'll get you to safety!

[Tempest has second thoughts]

[The twelve alicorns pull Tempest to safety. They smile at each other when the Storm King appears in front of them]

The Storm King: [sarcastically] Awwww! Isn't that just so sweet! [laughs] Yeah. [aims the Staff of Sacanas at the alicorns and Tempest and charges it up] See ya.

[The Princesses and Tempest look on as the staff charges up, meanwhile, Team Sonic, the Jewel Pixie Animals, the Chaotix, Mighty, Ray, Julie-Su, Saffron, Tangle, Whisper, Jewel, Maria, Lina, Mina, Sticks, Zooey, Perci, Cosmo, Marine, Infinite, the Cutie-Mark Crusaders, Nyx, Snowdrop, Shining Armor, Sunburst, Flurry-Heart, Spike, Thorax, Grubber, and Discord were in Pinkie's party cannon from earlier]

Mullet: You sure about this?

Sonic: Just do it, we're running out of time!

Sapphire: Thank you!

Jewel: Is this safe?

Charmy: I'm excited! Who's excited?! Aaah! I've never been so excited!

Tails: Please calm down, Charmy.

Digit: Also, isn't that Pinkie's line?

Squabble: [squawks]

[boom! boom! boom!]

Team Sonic & Allies: [screaming]

The Storm King: [laughs] Ooh! [gets punched in the face by Knuckles as he and the others land, sending the staff flying in the process]

[window cracks]

[squee]

Sonic: Woohoo! Best idea ever!

Tunette: Not sure I agree, but yeah, sure.

Lina: Yeah, I'm not sure if I want to do that again.

[the rest of the Freedom Fighters are eventually blasted over to the castle]

Omega: Mission complete!

Starlight Glimmer: [gasps] You made it!

Whisper: Barely.

[The Mane Nine's Jewel Pixie Animals embrace their owners]

Knuckles: Good to see that you're all still alive.

Sticks: Yeah, but seriously, are you twelve okay?

Rarity: Well, we've been better.

Princess Cadance: Yeah, aside from having our magic forcefully drained out of our bodies and the fact that the process was more painful to go through than Tirek's magic absorption powers, we're fine, I guess.

Cream: Don't worry, I'm sure you'll be alright once this is all over with, but I'm just happy that you're all okay.

[Team Sonic and the Mane Six hug each other, when Shadow and Rainbow notice something]

Rainbow Dash: Uh, We may wanna do this later!

Shadow: This isn't over!

Main Cast: [gasp]

[crackling, crumbling]

Getting the Staff/The Storm King's Defeat/Returning the Magic/The Storm King in Tartarus/The Friendship Festival continues/Epilogue
[everyone looks at the Staff which was still firing at the sky, though it was also now destroying the roof of the castle, threatening to crush everyone with derbies which the magic users quickly got out of the way]

Tart: Yikes...

Applejack: [looks at the staff in the window] Uh, I don't think that's a good thing...

Twilight Sparkle: It's worst than that, the Staff is still making the storm more powerful, if we don't do something soon, it could destroy all of Equestria, if not the entire planet...

[everyone gasps]

Antoine: What the what?! Pardon my french but that sounds total baguette!

Rotor: That wasn't even french.

Antoine: [looks at Rotor, unamused] Touché.

Digit: Well, how powerful even is that thing?!

Tails: [holding the Miles Electric] We don't know, this storm's so powerful, our scanners can't measure it!

Fauna: Blast! We've gotta do do something before it gets too powerful for us to stop!

Julie-Su: Well, what options do we have?

Maria: Yeah, there has to be something we can do!

Princess Luna: [looks up at the staff] We've gotta get control of the staff and stop it from putting anymore power into the storm before it gets too powerful.

Sonic: [to the Princesses and the Mane Nine] In that case, would you 12 care to do the honors, I mean, it is your magic powering that thing.

Shadow: Sonic's right, you have to do this!

Cream: Yeah, you've got this girls!

Cheese: Chao-chao!

Twilight Sparkle: [sighs before holding her hoof out] No. We've got this. Together.

[everyone looks at each other before smiling]

Shining Armor: She's not wrong.

Thorax: Would not be the first time.

Sonic: Alright then, is everyone ready?

All Heroes: Ready!

Knuckles: Let’s do this!

["Time to Be Awesome" action theme playing]

[everyone quickly grabbed hold of each other's hands/hooves before going gently towards the staff, with the Mane Nine and the Princesses at the front]

Pinkie Pie: Whee!

Tails: Whatever you do, everyone, do not let go!

Emerl: We'll try not to!

Starlight Glimmer: Good, if the window breaks we could all get sent flying into Space so I suggest you hold on tight.

Silver: You've got it, Starlight!

The Storm King: [regains consciousness] Wha... [notices the heroes going for his staff] Hey, the staff belongs to me! [begins to climb the debris]

Trixie Lulamoon: Uh-oh, he's awake!

Maria: Hurry, grab it!

Twilight Sparkle: We're trying, just need to get closer...

The Storm King: [grunting]

Mane Nine: [whimpering]

Twilight Sparkle: [grunting]

Shining Armor: He's getting closer!

Sonic: [annoyed] Can this guy just give up already?!

The Storm King: NO! That's MY staff! [grunts] Miiiiiine!! Mine!!!

[He almost reaches the staff]

Applejack: Whoa!

Twilight Sparkle: No!

[As Twilight grabs the staff, the Storm King lunges at the twelve alicorns, but only ends up going right into the window, causing it to break and get all thirteen of them thrown into the hurricane]

Storm King/Mane Nine/Princesses: [scream]

[Team Sonic and the others watch in horror]

Cream: Girls! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

[The storm starts to die down]

[Behind them, Infinite and Tempest watch in horror]

[The Cutie-Mark Crusaders, Flurry-Heart, Charmy, Tails and Cream look as if they were about to cry]

[Discord, Spike, Vector, Knuckles and Rouge look down in sadness]

[Shining Armor, Sunburst, Espio, Shadow and Silver looks distraught]

[Amy looks down sadly and shuts her eyes whilst Blaze pats her shoulder comfortingly]

Sonic: [falls to his knees] I'm... so sorry... [sheds a tear]

Charmy: [in tears] Twilight, girls!! COME BACK!!!

Shadow: Dang... Not here... [Maria and Staci walk up and comfort him]

Blaze: [sighs sadly] Never thought it would end like this... [Marine comforts her]

Cream: [sobs while Cheese, Gmerl, Vanilla, and Chocola comfort her]

[Amy hugs Sonic in tears as Sonic comforts her]

[A majority of the Freedom Fighters and the Mane Nine's friends were also deeply upset]

[Just then, the sun starts to shine through the clouds and the hurricane stops. The heroes look up and see the Princesses with the staff, safe and unharmed and flying towards them]

Charmy: [gasps] Look! They're still alive!

Cream: Yay!

Tails: Yeah! [laughs] All right!

Sonic: [breathes a sigh of relief] Oh thank goodness...

Pinkie Pie: Yay!

Applejack: Yee-haw! [laughs] All right!

Mane Nine: [laughing and cheering]

Pinkie Pie: Group hug! [squeals]

The Storm King: [grunts]

Tempest Shadow: [gasps]

[crackling]

The Storm King: [grunts]

Tempest Shadow: Nooo!!

[Tempest jumps in the way, and the orb turns herself and the Storm King to obsidian. Twilight keeps Tempest from falling off the balcony, while Infinite uses his Phantom Ruby warp the petrified Storm King, who was already plummeting into a prison cell he made]

Infinite: As much as that monster I became would enjoy seeing the Storm King shattered, this is suppose to be a kids movie.

Sonic: Whoa! I can't believe she did that!

Twilight Sparkle: My friends and I can.

Amy Rose: How come?

Princess Celestia: It's a long story.

[the princesses use the staff's magic to return Tempest to normal]

Tempest Shadow: [gasps]

Knuckles: Hey, thanks for the save.

[Tempest smiles, several minutes later, the Princesses had already used the staff to return their stolen magic to them, as such, their colors had returned to normal and their cutie-marks were back]

Sonic: Wow, sometimes I even impress myself. [Sonic is seen talking to the petrifed Storm King] For a second there I wasn't even sure if we were gonna pull it off. Oh who am I kidding, we both knew how this would end. [chuckles]

Tails: Uh, are you talking to the petrified Storm King who can't hear you?

Sonic: Uh, maybe. That's between me and the Storm King. See, the important thing here is we won, and the planet is safe again.

Twilight Sparkle: Absolutely.

Sonic: So we can just forget about the whole talking to petrified villains thing, right?

Applejack: Nope.

Sonic: I knew you'd say that.

Knuckles: Well, come on, you've helped save the day countless times. But we've never seen you talk to a statue.

Sonic: Touché. [facepalms in embarrassment]

Maria: What are we even going to do with the Storm King?

Shadow: I would personally return him to normal and throw him in Tartarus for all the crimes he committed.

Tempest Shadow: Personally, I agree. [to Novo] While me and Grubber are still here, I should mention that we're truly sorry for the damage we caused in your kingdom, Queen Novo, I know that's not going to cut it for everything I did, but believe me, I didn't know the Storm King was using me at the time...

[Everyone was unsure whenever to forgive or not, then Stygian came up to Tempest and vouched for he]

Stygian: I believe you.

Tempest Shadow: Really, why?

Stygian: Because that's what friends do for each other, Tempest. No matter what cruelty you once did, it's never too late for a second chance of forgiveness. The Princesses of Harmony and their friends once inspired me and the Pillars to understand the Magic of Friendship, and they also more or less saved me from own darkness.

Tempest Shadow: Whoa, I never actually thought of it that way.

Grubber: Me either.

Stygian: [notices her broken horn] If it'll help, perhaps my magic can restore your horn.

Tempest Shadow: Can you really do that?

Stygian: Of course, but I can't do this alone. Star Swirl, Princesses, I'll need help.

Star Swirl the Bearded: I'd thought you'd never ask, Stygian. Princesses, are you ready?

Twilight Sparkle: I'm ready.

Starlight Glimmer: Let's do this.

[So with every amount of their magic, Tempest's horn was restored]

Stygian: How are you feeling?

Tempest Shadow: I feel whole again. [using her horn] Thank you, everypony, for being my friends.

Sunset Shimmer: You're welcome, Tempest.

Tempest Shadow: Actually, that's not my real name.

Pinkie Pie: Oooh! What is it?!

Tempest Shadow: [quietly] It's "Fizzlepop Berrytwist".

Pinkie Pie: [gasps] Okay! That is the most awesome name ever!

Infinite: Oh, while I'm here, Team Sonic, I should tell you that I'm grateful for all of you. If it weren't for you, I'd still be just a monster wandering around without a soul. Thank you for believing in me, guys.

Cream: You're welcome, Mr. Infinite.

Fluttershy: Now what?

Tempest Shadow: [levitates the staff] Now, we fix everything...

[Tempest place the staff on the center and the magic slowly begins to restore everything to normal, even fixing the buildings back to the way they were before the invasion]

[Several hours later]

The Storm King: [slowly waking up] Ugh, my head... What happened? [looks around to notice he's in a cage in Tartatus] OH COME ON!

Lord Tirek: Hey, who's the new guy?

Lyric: Beats me, but I don't really care.

Black Doom: Yeah, me neither.

Black Death: Seconded.

[The scene then cuts to the Festival of Friendship, which was back underway]

Spike: [clears throat] Fillies and gentlecolts, get ready for a little...

[fanfare]

Spike: Songbird Serenade!

[crowd cheering]

Songbird Serenade: And now, to celebrate the fact that we're all still here in one piece, give it up for The Princesses of Harmony, Team Sonic, and all their friends!

[crowd cheering]

Male Pony 1: All right! Way to go, guys!

[camera flashing]

Bulk Biceps: Yeah! Ha ha ha ha!

[Songbird Serenade]

I know you, you're a special one

Some see crazy where I see love

You fall so low but shoot so high

Big dreamers shoot for open sky

So much life in those open eyes

So much depth, you look for the light

Capper: Ooh!

Rarity: And perfection!

Princess Skystar and Pinkie Pie: [laughs]

Sally Acorn: Well everyone, you did good out there.

Tangle: Thanks, Sally, though it's fair to say we all did great, right Tangle?

Whisper: What are friends for, right?

Princess Skystar: [sighs happily before looking at Queen Novo] Isn't this great, mom!

Queen Novo: Indeed, these people are indeed the bravest and noblest heroes I ever met. I am so proud of you, Skystar.

[Songbird Serenade]

But when your wounds open, you will cry

You'll cry out now and you'll question why

I can see a rainbow

In your tears as they fall on down

I can see your soul grow

Through the pain as they hit the ground

I can see a rainbow

In your tears as the sun comes out

As the sun comes out

[instrumental]

Sonic: Yo Fizzlepop, Infinite, you alright.

Tempest Shadow: Well, that's one thing that never changes around here. The party.

Twilight Sparkle: Well, I hope you'll stay. More friends are definitely merrier.

Tempest Shadow: [sighs] I guess.

Infinite: I suppose.

Tails: Also, Infinite, if you want, the Freedom Fighters always has room for one more member.

Infinite: I appreciate the offer, but I'll need time to think and self-reflect, I did a lot of terrible things back then.

Starlight Glimmer: [to Tempest] You know, your horn is pretty powerful, just like the pony it belongs to.

Tempest Shadow: I did tell you I wanted to show everypony in Equestria what I could do, right?

[Tempest smiles before firing her magic into the sky, creating a massive fireworks display]

[Songbird Serenade]

I can see a rainbow

In your tears as they fall on down

I can see your soul grow

Through the pain as they hit the ground

Pinkie Pie: Nice touch, Fizzlepop!

Sweetie: I've never seen anything so beautiful...

Trixie Lulamoon: Yeah, that's honestly the best fireworks display I've ever seen!

Tempest Shadow: Thank you.

Infinite: [looks at the fireworks] Yeah, nice touch there.

Vector: Man, today's been crazy, I'll admit, when we started the adventure, I had no idea we would pull this thing together and see it to the end, or that Infinite would redeem himself. [pats Infinite's back] I've changed my mind about you.

[Infinite just sighs happily]

Tails: Our battle against Infinite is done and our fight against the Storm King has come to a clone, but we'll be friends forever. A single person cannot save the entire world. We have to work together and make a diligent effort!

Sonic: Yeah, now, let's get back to the festival, we're practically their guests of honor.

[Everyone nods and says "Yeah!" in agreement before going to the festival to enjoy themselves]
