"Come on Twilight!" Rainbow Dash said impatiently. She was flying in circles around the ceiling of the Ponyville library waiting for Twilight, who is at the far side of the room, to get done with the portal she is making. And as usual, her patience wore out within about a minute of them getting there.
"Darling really," Rarity said, "you should learn to be more patient. One cannot simply rush a lady."
"Rarity's right now Dash," Applejack said. "From what Ah can understand, Twi's usin' quite a lot of energy to do this thing for you. You should be thankful to her for doin' this for you."
"Well technically," Twilight managed to grunt, "because

Everybody was going through the burning town to get as far away from the darkened entity that was once their friend. They at first went frustratingly slowly because of the injuries Twilight and her friends got dealt by Dark Sonic's attacks, but eventually they managed to go a bit faster as they recovered. They managed to reach the edge of the burning town within a relatively decent time, which is good for Shadow and Metal Sonic who are still fighting for time.
When they reached the end of town, a bunch of metallic looking things fell to the ground. Similar to how on Nightmare Night Tails had what looked like a cannon on his arm the metallic

"What?!" Rainbow Dash and Twilight both said at the same time. Both of them tried to catch somebody's eye, but Shadow and Silver looked away.
"I'm sorry; do you have a better option right now?" Eggman asked.
"Well no but…you can't be really thinking of killing him right?" Twilight asked. "There has to be another way!"
"Can't you use that one large Emerald?" Rarity asked. "You told us that you could have used that when Twilight was corrupted with your Chaos Energy stuff, but that would have lead Discord here. Well now we're here, so let's use that beautiful gem."
"Boy does a certain knucklehead wish he could use the Emerald," said a voice

Twilight and her friends—except for Rainbow Dash—Shadow, Tails, and Amy all walked back to base. Twilight and her friends were all either crying or just plain dumbfounded over the betrayal of Rainbow Dash. And what they couldn't figure out was why.
"Ah just can't believe Rainbow would just up and do somethin' like that," Applejack said.
"While we know she can be hasty at some points in time, she wouldn't just suddenly betray us," Rarity said. "Something must have happened to her."
"But how?" Tails asked. "Has something like this ever happened before?"
"Y-yes," Twilight said as she tried to fight back her tears. "W-when Discord first broke

If anybody were to look in on Rainbow Dash—which Eggman Nega did once—she would appear like she is sleeping on a bed that is a lighter gray then she is right now. However she is just really waiting for the middle of the night to come and Eggman Nega to fall asleep so that she can head out without being seen. Then she will do her best to try and find some way of getting Sonic out of the capsule that he is in.
While she is reluctant to admit it, Rainbow Dash is having a small problem with nerves. It's nowhere near as bad as her nervous breakdown during the Best Young Flyer Competition; however it still had it's effects. She waited much later i

"So I guess I have to thank you for saving me huh?" Sonic asked Metal. Sonic, Metal, and Eggman were all inside the computer room. Sonic, having recovered quickly, was busy stretching while Metal was just standing there and Eggman was busy at work on the keyboard.
Metal naturally responded with a bunch of bleeps so Sonic asked, "Uhh…Eggman?"
"Metal Sonic said 'Do not thank me. I merely protected you so that when you fall it will be at the hands of me, and not somebody else.'" Eggman translated.
"Heh, sounds like a challenge," Sonic said. "Any day you want a match, just bring it. I'll be ready whenever you are."
"It is the same for me," Eg
