Life as a Sonic OC Redux
Fire and Water
Previous ChapterNext Chapter*Danyelle’s POV*
Yesterday’s discussion still concerned me.
The Vulpix with a throat scar spoke "*raspy* We need help..."
*Flashback to yesterday in the Fire Temple…*
I met up with Liu Kang, Rei and Geras.
Liu Kang spoke "Shang Tsung and Quan Chi again conspire against Earthrealm? What Johnny, Kenshi and the others reported should not be possible. Geras witnessed how I rewrote history. I gave the sorcerers meaningless lives… They should have never gained power, let alone joined forces."
“If that’s true, this makes no sense!” I responded.
Geras spoke "And your work was flawless. Such would their lives have been, had someone not interfered."
Liu Kang asks "Interfered? What do you mean?"
Geras then showed two scenes made of sand, showing Shang Tsung being confronted by a woman in one, and Quan Chi confronted by the same woman in another. “Both sorcerers were visited by this person. It is her intervention that bent the arcs of their lives.”
“The question is, who is this woman?” Rei asked.
Geras spoke "Unknown. Her identity has been obscured from the Hourglass."
Liu Kang asks "Who could have that power? Is it Kronika, somehow resurrected?"
Geras spoke "Impossible. Titans, once destroyed, cannot be revived."
Liu Kang spoke "Then someone else must have survived the previous timeline… Someone with a vendetta against me."
Geras spoke "It is the only plausible theory."
Liu Kang spoke "You must determine its validity, Geras. The fate of the realms may depend on it."
*End Flashback*
I still couldn’t wrap my head around it.
The Vulpix with a throat scar spoke "*raspy* Something clearly bugs you but we need answers."
“Wh-What is it?” I asked.
A sudden hiss from Bluestar was heard since a rather bloody Squirtle Poke-Mobian was running towards me and the scarred Vulpix with a psychotic look in her eyes.
The Squirtle spoke "DIE YOU NAME STEALING FOX!!!"
I blasted the insane Squirtle with Thunderbolt, knocking her out cold.
I spoke "JASMINE!!!!"
Jasmine poofed in magician style. "You called?"
I growl "That psychotic Squirtle tried to kill a Vulpix Poke-Mobian."
Jasmine spoke "Hmm... *Inspects Squirtle* I see. Great jealous, envy and hate. Hmm... Reminds me of a shady ladybug who was jealous of her heroic counterpart.'
I growl "No offernce to Charlie but I see no chance of redemption for that Squirtle. She's too far gone to change so the best course of action to take with this one is to kill her."
I sank Thunder Fang into the Squirtle's neck, ripping the head clean off the shoulders thus ending the mad turtle's life.
I spoke "A sinner like her doesn't deserve to live."
My comm went off since Charlie had contacted me.
I ask "What's up Charlie?"
Charlie spoke "Someone sad and angry showed up."
I spoke "That's probably the Squirtle I had to kill, she tried to kill a Vulpix."
Charlie asks "Really? Why?"
I spoke "The Squirtle had accused the Vulpix of name stealing. And I strongly recommend yoiu don't try to reform the Squirtle, she's a lost cause.'
Charlie spoke "*Chuckles* Oh, I'll take that as a challenge. I WILL reform her!'
I laugh "Good luck with that one, she's just as bad as Niffty!"
Charlie asks "*Challenging* Is that supposed to be a bet?'
i laugh "If you can't get the psychjotic turtle reformed in a month, you'll have to knock Vaggie up!"
Charlie asks "Oh? And what about you?"
“If you manage to do that in a month, then… I’ll handle being 1,000 for one week.” I responded, Jasmine knowing what I meant by that.
Jasmine asks "You sure about that?"
“Absolutely. After all, it’ll help me get over it. I hope.” I admitted.
Izzy was asleep in my neck fluff.
I spoke "I'll bring the scarred Vulpix with me shortly since it's obvious you'll want both sides of the story though Charlie."
Charlie spoke "Okay."
I open a warp ring to Charlie's location, taking the Vulpix with me.
*Hazbin Hotel, Tartarus*
I sit down on a couch with the Vulpix beside me.
I spoke "Based on what I've seen, the scarred Vulpix and the psychotic Squirtle both can't exist at the same time or the fabric of the universe will unravel so I had to kill the turtle."
The Squirtle scoffs "Tch! Rude, don't you think? I didn't even know this was a different timeline!"
The Vulpix growls "You accused me of stealing your name and your life!"
"Both of you stop fighting now!" I ordered, stopping the two Poke-Mobians.
The Squirtle spoke "If you ask me, it's ironic that the Vulpix, a fire-type, here is my counterpart."
The scarred Vulpix scoffs "Remember the chains I had around my neck?"
The Squirtle spoke "No."
The scarred Vulpix growls "You and I are two sides of the same coin but this timeline couldn't support both of us at the same time."
I pulled the bloodied chains out from my hammerspace, putting them on the table in front of the Squirtle.
Squirtle spoke "*Gasp!* Those were the chains she was gonna to use to hang if I didn't work for-*Slaps mouth closed*"
That left Charlie, the Vulpix and I confused.
The scarred Vulpix spoke "Liar! I wasn't going to hang myself! When I was found by the Harmony Guard, I already had the chains on my neck!"
"I don't think she was talking about you, Myra." I pointed out.
Both Myras spoke "That Vulpix/Squirtle isn't me!"
"Anyway, what do you mean by she, Ursula?" I asked as the Squirtle gained a look of pure terror.
Ursula spoke "*Absolutely horrified* I... I can't..."
I spoke "Don't make me use my dimensional scream on you Ursula."
Ursula spoke "*Still scared out of her mind* I can't! I can't! I can't tell you! She'll kill me for sure if I do!"
I spoke "Uh, you're already dead."
But the Squirtle withdrew into her shell, shaking like a leaf.
I place my hand on Ursula's shell, triggering a vision of the past. Plus Charlie and the scarred Vulpix saw it as well.
But all I could see was darkness and a dark laughter.
I spoke "Well dang... I got nothing out of that vision and..."
I saw Ursula still shivering in terror.
Myra spoke "The only way we can save the entire Vulpix species is to kill that mysterious person."
Ursula spoke "*Whimpering in sadness* The grief... The fear... I just couldn't take it..."
Myra spoke "And we both took it out on a Shinx..."
Myra and Ursula both seemed down in the dumps.
A grayscaled Shinx Poké-Mobian male spoke "Girls... I can't stay mad at either of you... Neither of you were in the right mind."
Ursula popped out of her shell as she and Myra snapped their heads towards him.
To Myra's surprise, there were chains around the Shinx's waistline but they had dug into the skin a bit.
Myra gasps "S-Shadow?"
The Shinx spoke "I go by Shane these days."
Myra broke down into tears.
Shane then embraced Myra as she hugged him back.
Myra cries "I miss you so much...."
Shane spoke "*Sheds a tear* Me too, Myra."
A small Vulpix Poké-Mobian male with patches of gray fur was on Myra's back.
Shane asks "I-Is that...?"
Myra spoke "Indeed, I also named him after you."
Shane chuckles "Seriously, Myra? Wouldn't that confuse things?"
Myra giggles "You forget babe, you're dead though."
Shane spoke "I know, sweetie. But that still doesn't mean I don't wish to be there with you and our kid."
I spoke "I think I can help with that since I know a half blind cat who can build a new body. After that, I can use Soul Rebirth to merge your soul with the new body. But.... I have to run it by Lucifer first."
Charlie laughs "Oh, pfft. What makes you say he'll decline?"
I use one on one telepathy with Charlie since I had Izzy with me.
I snicker "{You really want to see Vaggie in a bikini, don't you?}"
Charlie blushed as she mentally stammered. "{Wouldn't it be safe for us to call the bet off? I meant, look at Ursula.}"
I spoke "{Oh right..}"
I looked at Ursula as she gave a depressed sigh.
I spoke "Look Ursula, I'm sorry for killing you but I can't ask Zoey to use the blue aqua on a body that had the head ripped off."
Ursula spoke "I understand, not that I deserve it... *Sniffle*"
I spoke "You were blinded by rage and anger towards all Vulpixes, regardless of variant. And like I told Gilda and Sunset one time... The past can hurt but the way I see it, you can either run from it or learn from it."
Ursula whimpers "But... how can I forgive myself when... *Voice breaking with tears threatening to spill* my best friend was a Vulpix... I was forced to kill her..."
I spoke "Barring the two Vulpix here and some others I know... I don't know the Vulpix you're talking about."
Ursula spoke "Her name is... Flaria."
Myra spoke "Sounds more like a name for a Kantonian Vulpix than an Alolan one."
Ursula asks "That aside... why did I let her words control and infuriate me like that, forcing me to kill Flaria? So how can I forgive myself when I killed my own BFF personally? *Sobs silently*"
Myra spoke "That's why you mistook me for Flaria. Minus the scar on my neck, I look just like her."
Ursula spoke "*Whimper!* Exactly...!"
I gently grab a fiery soul orb with my magic, causing it to hover around my neck.
I spoke "I believe this orb might be the Vulpix you're looking for but until we stop that crazy woman, I can't use Soul Rebirth since it's a one time use per Mobian or Equian."
Myra spoke "Yeah, best to make it count."
I spoke "Flaria's soul will remain in orb form until that mad woman is stopped."
My left ear twitches before I covered Izzy's ears as Myra had covered her son's ears.
I growl since I heard a voice I hadn't heard since the fight against the exorcists.
I growl "YOU AGAIN? BEAT IT ADAM!"
To Charlie's surprise, Adam looked different than I remembered.
