The walk up the mountain was silent between Mordecai and Twilight for a good while. “What’s wrong with Twilight? She wanted to talk earlier,” he thought to himself in worry. Mordecai started thinking over their conversation from earlier.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________

**FLASHBACK**

Twilight had just finished telling him about her mishaps when she forgot to write a friendship report for Princess Celestia. He ended up laughing at the situation and said, “Y-you really got that stressed over one lousy letter?”

Twilight lowered her ears and her head in embarrassment and quickened her pace from Mordecai. His laughter settled after he noticed that she had distanced herself away from him. He then asked, “Twilight, are you ok? Twilight?”

He got no response from her, and he decided to quicken his pace to catch up to her.

**END FLASHBACK**

___________________________________________________________________________________________________

Mordecai smacked his forehead after remembering his antics and instantly regretted it. “UGH! Smooth move you idiot! She’s not gonna like you for that,” he sternly thought to himself. Once he finally caught up to her, he tried to get her attention and said, “Twilight?” He didn’t get a response from her; all she did was continued her walk and checked the map in silence. “The silent treatment. Yeah, she hates you now Mordecai,” he thought sadly. He looked at the ground, feeling completely guilty and sad for laughing at her. “There’s only one thing you can do at this point,” Mordecai thought to himself.

Mordecai wanted to apologize to her and said, “Twilight, umm about earlier. I know you were trying to pass the time by telling stories, and I ended up laughing at one of your mishaps. I just want to say I’m-.” But before he could finish, Twilight interrupted him by saying, “Shhh!”

He gave her a questioning look and saw why she had shushed him. What he saw was the aftermath of an avalanche. The dirt and rocks had built a giant hill blocking their path. With no other way around this area, they had no choice but to work with what was still considered the fastest way to reach the top of the mountain and get the emerald. They remained quiet as they climbed the dirt hill, in hopes of preventing a second avalanche. Mordecai had slipped a couple of times, but he was able to get a grip on the buried rocks that stuck out to keep him from sliding to the bottom. They were both exhausted after they reached the top of the dirt hill. Going downhill was a lot easier for them, but they watched their steps and did their best from sliding down the hill. They reached the bottom of the hill with sore feet and hooves. They decided to take a short break after they gave themselves a good distance from the avalanche area.

Mordecai said, “That was rough. How did that avalanche happen?” Twilight said, “It was an accident. Remember when I said that my friends and I came here before?” He simply said, “Yeah, I remember.” She continued the conversation and said, “Well, that journey was to try and convince a sleeping dragon that lived in the cave to leave.” He interrupted her and asked, “It was that bad?” She nodded and said, “Yes, it would have been very bad. He blew smoke while he was snoring, and Ponyville was going to end up being covered in it for a hundred years if we didn’t do anything.”

Mordecai nodded in understanding and said, “I know I wouldn’t want to live in an area that would be covered in smoke.” Twilight said with a chuckle, “I don’t think anyone would.” He looked back at the avalanche and asked, “So how did this avalanche happen anyway?” She said, “Before we talked the dragon into leaving, Fluttershy overreacted and accidentally caused the avalanche. It’s kind of funny looking at it now. I still remember that after we arrived at the cave, Fluttershy told us that she was scared of dragons.” Confused by this, Mordecai asked, “Wait, isn’t she and the rest of your friends…friends with Spike?” Twilight said, “Yeah, she can handle Spike because he’s a baby dragon, but a fully-grown dragon is another story.” Mordecai said with a nod, “Okay, that makes sense.” Twilight said, “After she got upset from the dragon attacking us, Fluttershy put her hoof down and was able to convince that dragon to leave.”

Concerned about the incident, he asked, “You weren’t hurt too bad by the dragon, were you? I assumed that it would have breathed fire or something.” She said, “No, we weren’t hurt too bad. I’m just grateful he didn’t blow fire at us.” After they were well-rested, they got back on their hooves and feet and continued their journey to the cave. After walking a short distance, Twilight remembered the conversation they had before climbing up the dirt hill. She said, “Oh, uh Mordecai. Were you trying to apologize before we got through the avalanche area?”

They both stopped walking after she asked her question. He scratched the back of his head and said, “Yeah, I was. I didn’t mean to upset you in any way when you told me about that whole crazy scene you had over a letter you didn’t send to Celestia. I should have known that you’d take your work very seriously. I’m sorry about that.”

Twilight looked at him and said, “It’s okay Mordecai, it was embarrassing now that I look back at it. As much as I like getting things organized and finishing all of my tasks on time, I shouldn’t have freaked out the way I did and tried to create a problem.” Mordecai stays quiet to let her talk more. She continues and says, “Princess Celestia ended up telling me that she didn’t need a report every week and my friends also came to my rescue when they thought that scenario I mentioned before was going to actually happen, after that, Celestia tasked my friends to do the letters when they learn something.” Mordecai said, “That was good of her to do, taking some stress off of you.” Twilight smiled at him as he says this, and he thought at the same time, “Celestia really has a weird obsession for letters.”

They continued their walk as Twilight says, “It’s funny that I also ended up getting a visit from my future self for being too organized. Too bad I didn’t finish telling myself that message and I panicked for the whole week over some disaster that didn’t even happen.” Mordecai lightly chuckled at this and thought to himself, “Why does that sound familiar?”

He then said, “At least that was one week. I ended up getting a visit from myself ten years from now.” Twilight was surprised by that revelation and says, “Ten years? What was so important that you got a visit from yourself that far from the future?” Mordecai says, “Rigby and I wanted to learn how to play our instruments for a contest in a single day. I was playing the guitar; he was playing the bass.” Surprised by this, Twilight said, “I didn’t know you could play an instrument. What was the contest for?” Realizing what he had said, and not wanting to talk about his old crush, he decided to change the subject and said, “It’s not important, besides, while we were performing, we learned that our future selves were lip-synchers.” Twilight says, “Lip-synchers? As in…, they were frauds?” Mordecai hears the disapproval in her tone and says, “Yeah, and apparently they were very famous because of it. We ended up dropping out of the contest on the spot, because we didn’t like it, nor would we accept doing something as lame as lip-synching.” Twilight smiles at this revelation and says, “At least you have your morals in the right place.” Mordecai smiles bashfully at this.

Unknown to the two, while they were walking, they were getting closer together and they didn’t take notice until they bumped into each other. They looked at each other in surprise and they instantly looked away from each other at the same time, both trying to hide their blushing faces from each other. Twilight says, “Sorry about that.” Trying to not sound nervous, Mordecai quickly says, “It-it’s cool.”

___________________________________________________________________________________________________

As Finn’s sword came down, he was certain that he had won the fight against Sonic. Unfortunately for him, his sword suddenly stopped with a clang, and he saw that Sonic was wielding the Root Sword. Finn had unknowingly left it outside of the Tree Fort and with Sonic spotting it at the last second, he picked it up and stopped his sword with it. Sonic then kicked Finn in the stomach and he jumped up to his feet. Finn held his stomach with his left hand and coughed, showing the impact Sonic’s kick had on him. He then glared up at him and growled in frustration. Sonic tried to reason with him and said, “Look, Finn. We need to end this fight right now; we have a bigger problem right now.” Listening to only half of what he said, Finn said, “Your right on one thing Sonic, this fight needs to end right now. And it’ll end with me killing you right where you stand!”

Sonic rolled his eyes at Finn’s response and took his stance while wielding the Root Sword. “Okay, he wants to learn the hard way,” he thought to himself. Knuckles, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Jake arrived in time to see Sonic and Finn staring each other down. Curious after seeing his actions, Knuckles asked, “Sonic, what are you-?” Sonic interrupted him and yelled, “Stay back guys!” Finn also yelled, saying, “Yeah, stay back Jake!” Jake tried to reason with him and said, “But-” Finn interrupted him and said, “Butts are for pooping! I got this!”

The group, excluding Jake, was left confused by Finn’s outburst. Rainbow Dash said, “Okay… C’mon Sonic, we want to help!” Sonic said, “Just leave it to me! The last thing I want is for any of you to get hurt on my watch. This fight shouldn’t take long anyway.”

Rainbow Dash crossed her forehooves and pouted saying, “Fine.” After everyone understood that the fight was going to be between Sonic and Finn only, they gave themselves distance from them to avoid any distractions for the two. The two then dashed toward each other with their respective swords in their hands. They swung their weapons at each other and made contact with their swords. The two glared at each other, pressing their swords with all of their might. Finn pushed Sonic off with all of his strength. He then lunged forward and swung his sword at him; Sonic, however, dodged the attack effortlessly. Finn continued swinging his sword at Sonic, but because of his speed, Finn couldn’t touch him. After another missed attack from Finn, Sonic was seen in the distance and had a cocky grin on his face. He then said, “Hehe, you’re not bad Finn.”

After making his comment, Sonic raised his sword and dashed toward Finn. He also started running towards him and had his sword ready. In an instant, both Finn and Sonic had swung their swords and were facing away from each other. Because of the speed of the attacks, the group wasn’t able to see what had happened between them. Sonic winced and grabbed his left shoulder; it had a small gash on it. Finn turned around and grinned after seeing Sonic on his knees from his attack. Finn suddenly got a scratch on his right cheek and part of his hat was also cut from the attack. Sonic got back on his feet and turned around to face Finn. Finn charged at Sonic and continued his attack on him.

While the two continued their sword fight, Knuckles, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Jake were talking with each other to pass the time. The group questioned Jake’s ability to stretch himself, and how he was able to get his powers. His response to them was that he was a magical dog and that he doesn’t remember how he got his powers. After their conversation lasted a while, they ended up on the subject of Finn and Sonic. Rainbow Dash asked him, “How do you know Finn by the way?” Jake said, “He’s my brother. My parents took him in when he was a baby, and raised him like he was their own.”

Sonic launched himself in a homing attack while spinning the Root Blade in a buzz saw-like attack. Finn was left breathing heavily after blocking the attack. After the attack, Sonic was on his knees, attempting to catch his breath. Finn didn’t want to admit it, but Sonic was a lot stronger than he looked. Sonic had similar thoughts about Finn and was amazed at the knowledge he had of sword fighting, despite how young he appeared to him. He slowly got back on his feet, trying his best to shake off his weariness.

Finn thrust his sword at Sonic, but he caught the blade with his sword and stopped the attack. Finn grinned after seeing this and started swinging his sword around in a circular motion. Sonic tried to hold onto the sword, but after the third circle move, the Root Blade was sent flying out of his hands, leaving him defenseless. Sonic was in a state of shock to see that his sword was thrown to the side and was stabbed into the ground a few feet away from them. Finn started swinging his sword at him, but he dodged each of the attacks with his swift moves. Finn swung his sword in a large, horizontal arc, but Sonic escaped the attack at the last second.

Sonic then bounced off of his right hand and flipped backward toward his sword. Finn saw this and chased after him. He then jumped in the air and readied his attack to finish off the defenseless hedgehog. Sonic, however, got to the Root Blade, turned around quickly, and readied his counterattack on Finn. The group covered their eyes from what was going to happen next, but instead of hearing any contact being made, there was silence between Sonic and Finn. What everyone saw next really surprised them. They saw that Finn was levitating in the air, in a cyan aura coating, not moving a muscle. Sonic was also pinned with the same cyan aura, not moving from the position he was in. “What the what?” he asked in confusion.

Finn tried to move, hoping to break free, but it was no use. A voice suddenly shouted, “That’s enough from you two!” Sonic recognized the voice and said, “Huh? What the? Silver? What are you doing here?” A white-grey hedgehog was then seen floating toward the two. Finn then said, “And why did you stop us? I was going to kill him!” Silver simply said, “I’d take a better look if I were you.”

Finn was confused about Silver’s explanation and looked down. He saw that he had his sword positioned to strike Sonic in his throat. “What does Silver mean,” Finn thought to himself in confusion. After getting a better look at where he was floating, he was shocked to see that Sonic had the Root Blade positioned at his chest where his heart was. The realization of the situation hit him, seeing that if the attack wasn’t stopped, both he and Sonic would have stabbed each other. Finn then yelled in shock, “WHOA!!!” “Now you see what I mean?” asked the hedgehog. Finn nodded in response. Silver then moved Finn a few feet away from Sonic and released them from his powers. Both Sonic and Finn thrust their swords in a delayed response before Silver came and stopped them.

Sonic got back on his feet and said, “Thanks Silver. What brings you here? And how did you get here?” The ponies, Knuckles, Finn, and Jake gathered themselves and were ready to listen to what Silver had to say. He said, “I’ll start with how I got here. Both Blaze and I came back to this time with the help of a pony that has some blue phone booth box that can travel through time.” Curious about this, Rainbow Dash asked, “What blue box, and who was the pony?” Silver said, “It started with a “T”; I forgot what he called it. As for the pony, all he told me was that he was “The Doctor” and that he was going to meet someone in Ponyville. Blaze went with him to Ponyville to take care of what we needed to be taken care of over there.” Applejack asked, “And what would that be exactly?” He said, “To change the future and prevent a disaster.” After hearing this, Knuckles asked, “What happened exactly?” Silver said, “Both Time Eater and Discord have taken over the planet.”

Everyone had a shocked/surprised look on their faces after hearing the news from Silver. Finn and Jake looked at each other in confusion, not knowing who they were. Jake then spoke up and asked, “Who’s this Time Eater and Discord guy you're talking about?” Silver said, “Me, Sonic, Knuckles, and some of our friends dealt with Time Eater during Sonic’s birthday. It is a giant smog-like monster that can erase time and space. As for Discord, he is known as a draconequus.” Finn asked, “A what?” Rarity answered his question and said, “He is a creature that has the head of a pony and the body of different animals. He’s also known as the spirit of chaos and disharmony.” Silver said, “Thank you Rarity. These two have abilities of their own to mess with reality, but when you put them together, they REALLY can cause more problems than they ever could alone.” After they were told of who Discord and Time Eater were, Finn and Jake nodded in understanding.

Finn thought over the situation and asked, “If they are as dangerous as you say, how come no one has stopped them in your time?” Silver had a forlorn look on his face and said, “Sonic is the only one that had defeated Time Eater the last time we had met, and in that one time, he had help with his younger self. But something happened that caused him to die in my time.” Surprised by this, Sonic said in confusion, “WHAT?!?!” Knowing that there wasn’t enough time to tell them the story, Silver said, “I’m not sure what it was, but I guess that it was your fight with Finn. As for Discord, he managed to get his hands on all of the Chaos Emeralds, and his powers threatened anyone that challenged him.” Rainbow Dash asked in a worried tone, “What happened with the Elements of Harmony? Those should have stopped him easily.” Silver shook his head and said, “I’m not sure, but I think when he got all seven emeralds, he was too strong for the elements to handle. He even created his own island, and in there, he has corrupted everyone’s minds and they have become his mindless slaves.” Finn asked, “Everyone?” Silver said, “Yes, everyone, and anyone that he could capture and control easily. With that, he has an army of his own.”

Finn wasn’t sure how strong these emeralds were, but he still needed to know. He turned to the group and asked, “Are the Chaos Emeralds really that powerful?” Sonic answered him and said, “Knuckles and I have seen them work for other things before, so yeah, they are VERY powerful. Also, with what Silver just said, I was already afraid of what Discord could do with them when he mentioned that he knew about the emeralds when I first bumped into him, but him having the ability to control anyone, that makes it even worse.” Knuckles said, “Our friend’s radar had picked up a signal that read that one of the emeralds is here.”

Both Finn and Jake started thinking about the events from the previous day. They remembered something falling toward the Fire Kingdom. Finn then said, “Jake and I saw something red fall in that direction last night. Could that be what you guys are looking for?” Everyone turned in the direction Finn pointed at. Sonic asked, “Where is that spot exactly?” He said, “It’s the Fire Kingdom, I’m not sure what it was, but Jake and I saw something red crash in that area.” Knuckles said, “One of the emeralds is red, so that has to be it.” Sonic said in enthusiasm, “Then what are we waiting for? Let’s get going!!”

But before they could leave in the direction Finn told them, everyone heard a small cough that sounded close to them. Jake then went over to a nearby rock and lifted it to reveal a small fire underneath it. The group grew concerned after seeing the fire, believing that it would cause a forest fire. Knuckles spoke up and said, “Aren’t you guys going to put it out?” A mysterious voice suddenly said, “That won't be necessary knucklehead.”

Everyone, excluding Finn and Jake, became surprised by the sudden outburst. Sonic, however, started laughing at Knuckles from being called a “knucklehead”. Before Knuckles could punch him, the group got a better look at the small fire as it came out from under the rock. The small flame then revealed a small face on a small body with stubby arms and legs and a small tail. Finn introduced the fireball to everyone and said, “Oh, right. Everyone, this little fireball is Flambo. Flambo, these guys are here to get something that had fallen in the Fire Kingdom.” Flambo waved his arms and said, “Actually kid, I wouldn’t bet on going there if I were you. I got a tip from a reliable source that a familiar goblin had gone there and taken something from the kingdom. I wouldn’t know if it was in the Fire Kingdom or not. My sources also told me that the goblin was heading to the Goblin Kingdom to try and is attempting a takeover.”

Finn thought over who the mysterious goblin was and said, “Hmm, that sounds like Xergiok.” Rainbow Dash asked, “Who in the hay is Xergiok?” Jake said, “Xergiok was a tyrant king in the Goblin Kingdom.” After hearing this, Rarity said, “Was? What happened to him?” Finn simply said, “Jake and I kicked his butt and dethroned him.” Sonic said, “Just like that? He sounds like a pushover.” Finn said, “He uses magic wands to fight, of course, he is,” as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. He continued and said, “If he actually did find the Chaos Emerald, who knows how much stronger he is after what you’ve told us.”

Jake then grew in size and got Finn, Sonic, Applejack, Rarity, and Knuckles on his back and started running in the direction of the Goblin Kingdom; Rainbow Dash chose to follow everyone by flying. Sonic wanted to run, but considering what they were put through, Finn thought it would be better for Sonic to rest while Jake carried them to the Goblin Kingdom. Finn noticed the angry expression Sonic had; along with his arms being crossed and that his right foot was doing a tapping motion, easily showing his frustration. He turned to Knuckles and asked, “What’s up with Sonic?” He said, “Sonic is easily impatient. Try to talk to him about something to take his mind off of the travel.” Finn said, “Like what? I don’t know him that well.” Applejack said, “Just ask him anything.”

Finn thought for a second and said, “So Sonic, how many emeralds do you guys have so far?” Sonic started calming down from his boredom. He turned to Finn and said, “So far, we’ve got two. The rest of the group went to Ponyville to get the one over there.” Confused by this, Finn asked, “Ponyville? How far is it from here?” Sonic said, “Quite a ways away, I’m not entirely sure myself.”

Curious about Sonic’s lifestyle, Finn asked, “Do you have any adventures on your travels?” Sonic said with a grin, “Yeah, plenty of adventures! I live for them! I’ve been through a lot. There was this one time I had to fix the planet when it broke into pieces before.” Shocked by this, Finn said, “What?! When did this happen?” Before he could explain his adventure, they slowly arrived at the Goblin Kingdom. The group saw smoke coming from the kingdom and assumed something was going down. Sonic then said, “I’ll tell you later.”

Once the group got closer to the Goblin Kingdom, they spotted Xergiok wreaking havoc within the kingdom with a new magic wand, but what surprised everyone the most was the power source on top of the wooden wand. Sonic said, “Looks like your pal Flambo wasn’t lying.” Applejack said, “But it looks like he forgot to tell us about them.” The group turned around and saw that Xergiok had brought an army of earclopses and cyclopses to the Goblin Kingdom. Finn yelled, “FOR THE LOVE OF GLOB, FLAMBO!!!”

After seeing what they were up against, Knuckles said, “I see the cyclopses, but what are those other things?” Finn said, “Those are earclopses, but I wouldn’t worry about them.” Curious about this, Rainbow Dash asked, “And why is that?” He replied with a grin and said, “Because Xergiok forgot to get earplugs for them again.” Rarity said, “Earplugs, for those things?” Jake nodded and said, “Yup, with ears that big, they can’t handle a simple shout without passing out.”

After hearing what they needed to hear on taking down the earclops’ army, Jake, Knuckles, Silver, Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Applejack went ahead and started their attacks on the army Xergiok brought with him. Before Sonic could join the others to take on the army, both he, and Finn heard a couple of goblins yelling in pain, followed by laughter not too far from them. Sonic asked, “What’s going on?” Finn said, “Must be Xergiok spanking some of the goblins.” Sonic said in disbelief, “Spanking? Are you serious Finn?” He said, “Yes, that’s what he did to the goblins before we dethroned him.” Sonic smacked his forehead and muttered, “Oh boy,” under his breath.

The duo then went to the place where the yelling came from and saw Xergiok spanking three goblins mercifully. Without thinking of a plan, Sonic jumped right in and was prepared to fight the spank-happy goblin. He lifted his sword to him and said, “That’ll be the last butt you spank ugly!” Xergiok stopped spanking the helpless goblin and turned to face the intruder. He saw the blue hedgehog standing before him, wielding his sword, prepared for a fight. After he turned around, Sonic thought to himself in surprise, “Man, did I call that one.”

The goblin then declared, “And who is the fool that thinks he can challenge the mighty Xergiok?!” Sonic did his best from chuckling at the title and said, “Mighty Xergiok? From what I’ve heard, you’re a complete pushover.” Angered by this, Xergiok yelled, “Pushover?! Tell me blue one, can a mere pushover do this!!” In an instant, a powerful energy of chaos was fired from Xergiok’s wand. Sonic dodged the blast with ease, but Xergiok fired multiple blasts at him while he was still airborne. Sonic saw this and swatted as many blasts as he could with his sword. After he deflected each of the blasts, one more blast was heading for him. He wasn’t ready to deflect the attack and was prepared for the impact the blast was going to have on him.

Fortunately for him, Finn had jumped in and deflected the blast at the last second. After the blast was deflected, Xergiok looked on in displeasure to see the familiar boy once again and said, “Oh, it’s you.” Finn said, “Yeah, it’s me. Muffintop!” Xergiok got angry after hearing what Finn had called him. Sonic, however, was trying his best at keeping himself from laughing at Xergiok from Finn’s outburst. Out of rage, Xergiok started firing multiple energy balls at both Finn and Sonic. Sonic dodged the attacks with his speed, while Finn deflected each of the energy balls with his sword. Xergiok then brought out multiple energy balls and randomly fired them at the duo. The attack didn’t faze them; they simply deflected each of the attacks without flinching.

After deflecting the last of the energy balls, it ended up hitting Xergiok in the face. The impact caused him to drop his wand. With that Finn, picked up the wand, took the emerald off it, and once again, destroyed it. He put the red emerald in his pack and both he and Sonic pointed their swords at Xergiok, seeing that he had no outs to this, he admitted defeat, and he fled the Goblin Kingdom once again. Both Finn and Sonic turned to see that the earclopses and the cyclopses were defeated. Sonic, in response, gave everyone a thumbs up for their accomplishment. But before everyone could celebrate their victory, Time Eater suddenly appeared, spreading fear to everyone in the Goblin Kingdom. It opened up multiple portals and started sucking all of the goblins in. Jake saw this and wrapped everyone up tightly while securing himself by holding onto two nearby trees. Time Eater then opened another portal and attempted to try and suck Finn into the portal. He felt the force the portal had and became worried about where the portal would suck him to if he didn’t think of anything. Finn attempted to keep himself from flying into the portal by stabbing his sword into the ground, but before he could do this, Time Eater fired its immobilizing sphere at Finn and prevented him from stabbing his sword into the ground.

After Sonic saw what Time Eater had done, he came by Finn and used Chip’s necklace to protect them from the portal. Time Eater was enraged from seeing the barrier Sonic generated again. It closed the portal, knowing there was no point against the barrier. Billy then appeared wielding his sword and starred down Time Eater. Finn saw this, and once he was able to move again, he ran out of the shield, wanting to join Billy in the fight. Sonic saw this and dropped the shield, confused by this new person joining them, not realizing that dropping the shield had now left him defenseless. Time Eater saw this opportunity and swatted Sonic with all of its might. The hit caused Sonic to drop the purple emerald, while he crashed through the Goblin Kingdom’s walls and skidded to a stop on the ground face first just outside the kingdom. After seeing him get hit, Finn yelled, “Sonic!!!”

He runs to Sonic as he lies unconscious on the ground. Time Eater, being much bigger than Finn gets to him first and attacks the defenseless hedgehog, he fires orbs at him and they make contact, covering him in smoke. Seeing this, Finn fears the worst and yells, “NOOOO!!!!” The dust started to clear, Finn stands in shock, thinking that he failed in protecting Sonic, and he started blaming himself for putting him in this situation. He heard flickers and he looks up to see that Sonic was protected by the green force field from earlier, something Time Eater roars in frustration over, catching everyone’s attention in the Land of Ooo. Finn breathed a sigh of relief after seeing he was okay. Time Eater takes a look around and sees the purple Chaos Emerald laying not too far from Finn. Finn sees where Time Eater was looking and sees the emerald.

Time Eater flies towards the emerald in an attempt to steal it. Seeing this, Finn started running in an attempt to try and get to it before Time Eater could, not knowing that the emerald can affect the dark being, but before either of them could reach it, the emerald was picked up by Billy, giving Finn great relief. He then said, “Billy! Thank Glob you got to it first! I need that emerald for my friend.” Billy went to Time Eater, making Finn believe that he was going to fight the creature by himself. He turned to Finn and clutched the emerald in his right hand and had a wicked grin appearing on his face. He lifted his head and looked at Finn with a crazy look in his eyes and said, “Thank you, Finn.” He was then engulfed in a bright light, causing Finn to shield his eyes from the brightness. After the light subsided, it revealed Discord standing before him with a grin on his face. Finn then gasped and stared in shock at what had just happened. Discord then said, “Thank you for being such a fool!” He laughed at the dumbfounded human standing before him.

Finn became enraged after realizing the trickery he had been put through. He unsheathed his sword and charged at Discord with a yell. He tried to attack him with a swing of his sword, Discord, however, snapped his fingers and teleported before Finn could make contact. Time Eater tore open a portal and disappeared in it, satisfied that the plan nabbed them a second emerald. After they disappeared, everyone went over to Sonic and saw that he still had his face planted in the ground. He didn’t make any movements, and they grew concerned for his well-being. Finn told everyone that he has something that can help him, but he left it back at the Tree Fort. In an instant, the group pulled Sonic out of the ground and put him on Jake’s back. He once again grew in size and carried everyone to the Tree Fort as fast as he could. Jake asked, “How’s he holding up back there?” Silver checked for Sonic’s pulse on his neck and said, “He is doing okay, but we need to hurry up.”

___________________________________________________________________________________________________

Sonic remained unconscious while his friends carried him to safety, but his mind was elsewhere while he was in this state. He remembered the surprise birthday party he had with his friends not too long ago. He sees everyone enjoying themselves with the food and being with each other, not having to deal with Eggman or any of his schemes, no natural disaster to worry about, just him and his friends spending a long-awaited day of rest and relaxation with one another at his party. That was until Time Eater tore open a portal into reality and ruined it.

“You couldn’t stop me before hedgehog.”

Sonic was confused by the voice he just heard. The party went from peaceful to chaotic in a second from an unknown blast and he remembers how powerless he felt as he watched his friends get sucked into the multiple portals Time Eater summoned back then; he felt even worse when he sees himself try to stop Time Eater from kidnapping his friends as they plead for his help, but failing to save them as Time Eater swatted him away like a bug.

“What makes you think you can stop me now?”

Sonic turns around and sees Time Eater along with Twilight and the rest of her friends in front of him. Time Eater raised his hands and engulfed them into six purple energy spheres. Shocked by this, Sonic runs towards them as fast as he could, but before he could reach them, Time Eater made the spheres disappear in an instant, not a single trace of the ponies was left in sight. Sonic looked on in despair, hand extended as he tried to save them, but to no avail.

“You’ll fail once again Sonic, but this time, the stakes will be much higher. You’ll be letting down many more of these creatures and this time, you won’t have your younger self to back you up.”

Time Eater disappears, laughing at Sonic as he falls to his knees in defeat, knowing that he failed to save them.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________

Finn squirted a bottle of cyclops tears onto Sonic’s face, and he woke up in an instant. He was breathing heavily and had a look of terror on his face as if he had just come out of a nightmare. Still in shock, he said, “Dude!! What the heck was that for?!” After saying this, he desperately tried to shake off the water, leaving everyone, but Knuckles, curious about his actions. Finn said, “It was just Cyclops' tears. You were pretty beat up from that hit Time Eater gave you.” Sonic rubbed his head, remembering the incident. He got a better look at his left shoulder and saw that the wound had disappeared. Realization suddenly hit him, and he searched himself in a panic. He said, “Where’s the emerald? I know I had it!!” Finn said in depression, “Sorry Sonic, they took it.” In an instant, Sonic grabbed Finn by his shirt and said, “YOU BETTER BE KIDDING WITH ME RIGHT NOW FINN!!!!” He said, “I wish I was, but that’s what happened after Time Eater smacked you. You dropped the emerald and Discord took it.”

Sonic loosened his grip on him and said, “What about the other emerald?” Finn reached into his pack, pulled out the red emerald, and said, “I put it away as soon as we kicked Xergiok’s butt, remember?” Sonic took the emerald and was relieved that they still had one emerald with them. He turned to Finn and said, “At least something good came out of this. Let’s get back to Ponyville guys, I’m sure the others got the emerald there by now.” Everyone nodded and they were ready to go.

After everyone gathered around him, Sonic raise the emerald and said, “Chaos-” But before he activated the emerald’s energy, Finn yelled, “Wait!” Sonic said, “What’s up Finn?” He asked, “Can Jake and I join you guys?” Sonic gave Finn a questioning look. Finn then said, “Discord was the one that tricked me into fighting you, and he took that emerald from me. I’m not gonna let that son of a toot get away with that!” Sonic chuckled at this insult and said, “You’re a good fighter Finn; the two of you are more than welcome to join us. How about you Silver?” Silver said, “Blaze and I are here until Time Eater and Discord are stopped.” Sonic said, “All right to Ponyville we go.” Sonic then said, “Chaos Control,” and with that, everyone was engulfed in a bright light and disappeared from the Tree Fort.

Chapter 8.5 is finally here! Man this chapter took a lot longer than I wanted it to. Here's a summary for this chapter.

Like I said in the last chapter, this chapter was a lot longer than I thought it would be. As left off on Chapter 8, Sonic and Finn were in a fight, and Finn was going to strike Sonic, until he got an old sword of Finn's and fought back with it. The fight was eventually settled after Silver arrives and stops the fight and helps them with a problem that arises in the Goblin Kingdom.

Back in Ponyville, Mordecai and Twilight arrive at the cave on top of the mountain and get the emerald, but later found out they were tricked by Discord with a fake emerald. Discord eventually shows Twilight the events that Mordecai had gone through at the park with the unicorns, although, the unicorns were replaced with unicorns that looked like they were from Equestria. This caused her to panic and she became scarred of Mordecai.

After Sonic and the others arrive with Finn and Jake, they see Twilight running from Mordecai. Sonic ends up helping Mordecai fix the problem that happened to them, and they eventually make up. After everything was settled, it was later decided that everyone should get some rest, before continuing with their search for the remaining Chaos Emeralds. But while everyone rested, Sonic decides to get more info on the Elements of Harmony before he rests, and encounters Princess Luna while doing so.

Natedeanmaan, this fanfic deserves to have a page on tv tropes and why did you pick Time eater and Discord to be the antagonists
