Pinkie was in a bush crying. She hated when Amy showed up, but was glad to see Mason. "I wish that...Amy could just disappear...forever..." She said looking at Mason with tears in her eyes.

Pinkie was in a bush crying. She hated when Amy showed up, but was glad to see Mason. "I wish that...Amy could just disappear...forever..." She said looking at Mason with tears in her eyes. 

Mason hated seeing her cry. But he hugged her tightly. "Come on Pinkie. Smile. Im actually thinking about staying here. No one makes my day better than you do."

Tails kept his cool when Mason got mushy. Cosmo, if only you were still here...

Mason had to train." See ya in a bit." He dashed off, but tripped on a familiar gem."Huh. My excess energy is gone?" Lets just double check, though.

Knuckles yelled, "The Master Emerald! What in Mobius' name is it doing out in the middle of nowhere, and why did it drain Masons excess power?" Mason slapped his forehead.

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

@UI Tails

Thundy looked up when Knuckles yelled something about some "Master Emerald. "You mean that gem sapped Mason of his power?" Jeez..." Thundy said. Pinkie could only smile faintly, especially when Mason had to dash off all of a sudden. 

[Maurice AKA Phan. Sonic 153]

"You know, I only have one reason why that can happen...(sees a shadow) and dont tell me its right behind." Mason said

"WOAH CHAOS, the god of destruction! Mason turn around!" Tails yelled.

"*_*...RUN!!!" Mason said.

"Power...need..POWER!!!!" Chaos bellowed.

"If he gets a hold of anything power wise, we are done for. HYAHH!" Mason hit Chaos, but the liquid creature rebuilt itself, then struck with SONICSPEED."Arghh, warn Twilight! Tails, find Sonic AND Rainbow Dash, now! I'll distract it."

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

@UI Tails

"Perhaps the one thing that could destroy this being is The Elements of Harmony. Pinkie, get Twilight and the others." Thundy said. Pinkie zipped away to warn the others. Thundy and Chelsea combined their abilities and fired a beam at Chaos. 

[Maurice AKA Phan. Sonic 153]

Chaos seemed mostly unfazed by the attack, but deconstructed 

"Did someone call my name?" Sonic said, and attacked Chaos, feeling Mason's energy.

"I just hope he doesnt touch-" Mason said when getting up, but Chaos absorbed the master emerald's power, forcing an over-time transformation.

"If he gets to Perfect Chaos, he'll flood everything! Attack!" Knuckles commanded.

Amy showed up again, seeing the situation."They'll need my help, but Im still getting revenge." Amy then jumped in,and swung her hammer at Chaos.

"Ugh...Amy..." Sonic groaned.

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

@UI Tails
 

Chelsea saw Amy. "Don't make me have to pound your face in the ground." Chelsea said to Amy. Just then, Twilight and company showed up with The Elements of harmony. "Okay! Stand back everyone!" Rainbow called out as they got into formation, the power charging. 

[Maurice AKA Phan. Sonic 153]

Sonic then recieved vision from the Emerald that the attack would not work in time.

"Mason, turn Super Sonic, and get in the Blast!" Sonic Directed Mason.

"But Sonic-" "DO IT IF YOU CARE FOR HER!!!"

Mason nodded in tears, then channeled a massive spark to the Chaos Emeralds, which gathered round him. "May the Power of Friendship set you free, Chaos." he then jump up at the angle of the attack.

"What is he thinking?!?" Knuckles yelled, while Amy started to understand why he chose Pinkie over her.

"The Chaos Emeralds will amplify the Elements by 5 times the power." Tails replied.

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

@UI Tails

The timing was perfect. A rainbow 5 times larger than the standard attack shot out from the elements of harmony, engulfing Chaos in pure light. "This has gotta work..." Thundy said as he watched. 

[Maurice AKA Phan. Sonic 153]

Sonic noticed Chaos was trying to fight back, and Mason was wondering if he did the right thing...

"Chaos! There IS no point in trying to fight! Every time you knock me down, I WILL come back up stronger!" Mason said. The Emeralds shined with more power.

"If you even think you can WIN, THINK AGAIN!!!" 

Chaos' body was disintegrating in the beam...then the blast finished Chaos off, and Mason's power was neutralized, thanks to the tremendous flow of friendship.  

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

@UI Tails

Chao's energy was no more. "Nope, can't sense Chaos one bit." Chelsea said as the other started to disperse to return the elements of harmony back to the tree of harmony. "How are these enemies finding Equestria?" Pinkie asked. 

[Maurice AKA Phan. Sonic 153]

Mason thought it was the space time continuum creating these problems. But his power was balanced. 

Sonic was shocked that Chaos was no more for the time being."Mason, why dont you take Pinkie home? Its getting late."

Noticing the sun setting, Mason nodded. "Hold up!" Tails yelled. "WHAT?!?" Mason and Co. yelled.

"Mason, can I measure your power for a second?" He asked kindly.

"Like Sonic says,'Sure, but make it quick.'" Mason Said.

After a bit, Tails confirmed the result. "Mason...he wont have any overflow from now on! Chaos took the source of overflow with itself."

"Phew..."Mason said." Now, shall we get home?" he asked Pinkie.

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

@UI Tails

"Wait, does that mean Mason has perfect balance and control over his power? This doesn't feel right. There's gotta be a gimmick..." Thundy stated. "We could all stay at my beach house at the Outer Flanks if you want..." Chelsea stated. 

[Maurice AKA Phan. Sonic 153]

Mason then questioned Tails's result."Yeah, are you sure?"

"Well...there is ONE catch." Tails said. "If Mason's emotion isnt controlled, say Pinkie gets hurt, then Mason's overflow will turn him to his Dark form."

"Tails..." Sonic said, "What the actual heck?!?!? Thats pretty much 45% of the time!"

Mason threw a ring just to get away from the conversation, but...

"Still forgetting whos here and who isnt, huh Mason?" Amy grabbed him by the collar. "Honestly, you need to grow up. Oh wait. YOU WONT GROW UP! 2 years ago. Dont you remember? Mobian traditions prevent growth."

"Amy let him go." Knuckles growled. 

"Amy." Mason started to emit a dark aura. " Im trying to stay calm. Let. me. go."

"Or what, TRAITOR?" Amy yelled.

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

@UI Tails

Chelsea walked close to Amy. "Let..him...go." She said in a very stern tone. Thundy took a few steps back. "Pinkie, you may want to stay close to Mason. If he sees you, then it could possibly prevent him from going dark." Thundy stated. 

[Maurice AKA Phan. Sonic 153]

Amy dropped him. "Youre lucky I dont have my hammer handy." Then she left.

"Pinkie..." Mason hugged her tight. "I dont want to...go dark."

"Shoot, that was close." Tails sighed.

"Close? More like, almost done for! Im going." Sonic said, before running off.

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

@UI Tails

"Okay...someone has to put that Amy in her rightful place..." Chelsea said looking at Sonic and Tails. "Mason is in total danger when she's around." Thundy stated. "Still, we ought to work on that emotion control because even if we're facing a baddie, we can't lose Mason to darkness due to anger." Chelsea said. 

[Maurice AKA Phan. Sonic 153]

Mason then at that moment remembered how he was really born, and realized that being born in the afterlife was a fake memory given.

"My real origin," he said out loud, "My genes were altered the day I was born in a lab. I was abandoned by my real parents, and I was nothing but a test subject. I was found by...Someone."

Tails pointed out, "I do remember Sonic saying he found you at a research lab. He just thought you would rage later on if you knew the real reason."

"I was like Shadow, many artificial powers were given. But...I was nothing to anyone." Mason sat down and looked at the sky. "Not at least, til Sonic and friends found me. Even Shadow cared, due to the real reason." He then began to cry

Knuckles said," at least Pinkie Pie cares about you."

Thundy shuddered and sniffled when he heard that Mason was abandoned by his parents. It reminded him of his parents almost abandoning him because of his transformation. "We all care about you Mason." Chelsea said as she, Thundy and Pinkie came around Mason to hug and comfort him.

Mason felt a warm embrace, and got up." I got some research to do. Any one care to join?"

Tails nodded."Whats it on?"

"Lately, I have been hearin' rumors that might show what...or WHO is Metal Sonic."

Knuckles scoffed." Just rumors."

Tails tried to hold back a roast.

Mason changed the subject. "Alright, so whats our next course of action?"

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

@UI Tails

"I thought Metal Sonic was created by Eggman..." Thundy stated. 

"Well...we could head to my family's rock farm again...since we technically got interrupted by those stupid baddies." Pinkie stated.  

[Youth Sonic(Mason)]

Mason nodded. "Sorry for that Pinkie Pie." he said.

Tails and Knuckles started towards a giant ring."Me and Knux here need to get the Emeralds. We'll join ya in a bit."

Mason was wondering what it would've been like to see Eq versions of everyone, but ignored it and started walking to the rock farm. He put on music in his hidden earbuds to past the walking time.

To him it was peaceful enough to pass the clock.

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

@UI Tails

Pinkie was now leading the way, followed by Thundy and Chelsea. Thundy noticed Mason wearing the earbuds. "Hm? What are you listening to Mason?" He asked curiously as he continued to walk. 

[Maurice AKA Phan. Sonic 153]

(Oh no)

Mason started sweating. "What are you talking about?" He changed the music to play a joke. "Oh this? here listen."

Mason tried to keep a straight face but couldnt contain it. He then calmed down."The truth? I was listening to sad music. I dont know how, but it keeps me calm"

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

@UI Tails

"Mason, please don't hide...you're safe with us...it's better to tell the truth the first time than try and hide..." Chelsea said looking into Mason's eyes. Pinkie stopped when she heard the talk between the three.
