*Danyelle's POV*

I searched for Garnet and Sapphire, wanting to talk to them about something.

Sapphire was crying since Garnet had gone missing.

"What happened?" I asked.

Sapphire whimpers "G-Garnet was captured... b-by a Rainbow Dash with bat wings...."

"If that's true, then let's hope she isn't gonna be hurt." I noted.

Sapphire spoke "But she has mittens on the way..."

"Sapphire, calm down. Call me crazy or call this a gut feeling, but I think your Nightmare Moon isn't after anyone's lives." I pondered.

Walking over with the crutches, Cinderpelt spoke "My home was destroyed by a pair of flimflammers. I can't go back and the rest of my clanmates are probably dead or driven out..."

"Let's not assume the worst here." I pointed out as I saw Soulfire training.

Cinderpelt spoke "It's enough the two toms are skittish around everyone else since they come from a war-torn timeline."

A dirt covered fiery orange Mobian cat with green eyes tumbled out of a portal.

The tom groans "I need food...."

I spoke "Fluttershy!"

Fluttershy spoke "On it!"

I spoke "Much like the other displaced cats, this one also eats meat."

I call Ravenpaw and Graystripe over.

Graystripe asks "What's going on?"

The tom groans "G-Graystripe? Is th-that y-you?"

Graystripe asks "Firestar?"

To Graystripe's shock and Ravenpaw's horror, Firestar was underweight from not eating properly plus the fiery tom was extremely dirty.

Ravenpaw spoke "We better get to work on him, and Danyelle, you might wanna call in Jasmine too."

I drop a ball of water on Wastelands-verse Firestar, causing him to yowl in fright.

Graystripe snickers "Seriously?"

I giggle "If not me then it would have been Rarity's doing."

Ravenpaw snickers "And not to mention, your little crush on a seapony named Sil..."

A flustered Graystripe spoke "Sh-shut up Ravenpaw!"

I looked at Soulfire again and noticed he was still training.

I get a crazy idea before opening a warp ring, causing a shiny female Lucario Poké-Mobian to fall out and land on him.

I then got another idea while the two got up, apologizing to each other, before I opened another warp ring, this time behind Soulfire when a female Pachirisu Poké-Mobian fell out of it before crashing into him, making him fall onto the shiny female Lucario. Heehee, looks like Soulfire got sandwiched.

I was wondering if there would be an exception. Blame the Amore in me.

The Shiny Lucario asks "Who are you?"

The Pachirisu asks "Makoto Nanaya. You?"

The Shiny Lucario spoke "Sunflower."

OC-verse Danyelle notices the Pachirisu Poké-Mobian before seeing the image of a squirrel beastkin in her place.

OC-verse Danyelle asks "Makoto?"

Makoto: Huh?

I spoke "Ah! Sorry about my OC-verse counterpart, she mistook you for a different Makoto."

OC-verse Danyelle spoke "It's okay. The hairstyle, body and tonfas reminded me of her."

After taking on my Latias form, I turn invisible before grabbing Makoto's chest and squeezing it.

I giggle "Soulfire, you naughty dog!"

Soulfire spoke "What?! When did I-

But then Makoto flipped around and threw a Thunder Punch but it was negated by my lightning rod ability.

Sunflower asks "Felt it too, haven't ya?"

Makoto spoke "Yeah, why don't we settle it here and now."

OC-verse Danyelle asks "*Bead of sweat* Was that really necessary?"

I giggled with my tongue out.

I giggle "Too bad that Thunder Punch would not have worked on me."

The two female Poke-Mobians started battling as it seemed like they were evenly-matched. It lasted for an hour as both Sunflower and Makoto were on their backs, panting from the effort they put into fighting each other.

Sunflower spoke "*Panting* You're pretty good, top-heavy."

Makoto spoke "*Panting* You're no slacker yourself, bottom-heavy."

The two looked at each other before laughing with smiles on their faces.

I flew off to my temporary house since I had moved my family in with Mr Rich.

"You really sure you don't mind us staying here, Mr. Rich?" I asked.

Filthy spoke "How could I not turn a couple of cats with a lot of kids away? My house is your house."

“I know, but I really don’t want to feel like I’m intruding.” I said.

Winter giggles "Don't say that Danyelle, you're the leader of the Harmony Guard after all. And judging by the black cat's behavior, it's obvious that he has a crush on Silver Spoon."

"Heehee, I wonder how that'll turn out." I giggled before I noticed Gallus and Bluestar reading some kind of manga.

Flintfur spoke "It's not funny!"

Winter asks "Want some whine with that cheese?"

I giggle "Don't you mean... Cheese with that whine?"

Winter giggles "Heehee, sorry."

I giggle "And Winter, didn't you pick up on the butt-copter thing not long after you arrived in Ponyville?"

All 16 of my kids were in a giggling fit when they heard me say butt-copter.

Gallus spoke "*Chuckling* Okay, cut it out."

I laugh "Can't cut it out. It'll grow right back!"

Irene and Rani were laughing even more.

“By the way, what’re you and Gallus reading, Bluestar?” I asked.

Bluestar spoke "It’s a manga called “Pink Dark Boy”, it definitely keeps you on your toes."

I ask "Isn't that more for adults?"

Gallus spoke "If it’s about the suspenseful horror, we can handle it. We heard high-schoolers are reading this."

“But who is it written by?” I asked.

Bluestar spoke "Rohan Kishibe."

I spoke "Just don't read it to Ravenpaw or the infants, I don't want to be dealing with 12 crying kids."

I ask Josuke via telepathy if he knew a guy named Rohan Kishibi.

Josuke spoke "{Can't talk right now. Okuyasu, Cinderpelt, Ichigo and I are checking in on something.}"

I spoke "{Fair enough, just keep an eye out for a batpony version of Rainbow Dash. I was told by a distraught Mewtwo that the batpony had taken a two tailed Mew captive. And because of that, I can't be seen in my Mew form until the Nightmare Moon timeline invasion is stopped.}"

Ichigo spoke "{Calm down, it hasn't even started. If it had, Liu Kang would've come and told you.}"

I couldn't really argue with that.

I spoke "{Then again, we don't know if it's the same one that Garnet and Sapphire came from.}"

I soon end the conversation.

*Ichigo's POV*

While carrying Cinderpelt in my arms and the crutches strapped to my back, I spoke "Danyelle has a point though Josuke, we can't risk losing another Mew. Huh? Is that Giorno? Hey Giorno!"

Josuke spoke"Shh! We're about to enter the house, so please try to be quiet."

I spoke "Sorry."

Cinderpelt facepaws before meowing at me, telling me to shut up.

The three of us snuck in through the front while Okuyasu climbed up by the side as the three of us soon hid behind an open door before we saw Koichi, who was now a Quilladin, but parts of him were opened up, looking like pages, even his face as we noticed a male Smeargle Poke-Mobian with his hair slicked sideways to his left, wearing a headband with serrated edges and fountain pen-tip earrings with Okuyasu approaching the guy from the window.

Okuyasu asks "Hey! Didn't I tell you not to move a muscle?"

The Smeargle spoke "*Emitting an aura* Okuyasu, you were of no concern to me at first, but that changed the moment you entered this house. Now you'll serve as another of my muses!"

Okuyasu spoke "Grr! Bastard!"

Okuyasu summoned The Hand as they charged at him when he brought up a page of a manga manuscript.

Okuyasu asks "What the hell?"

Koichi spoke "He's really fast!"

But when the Hand touched it, his right arm, midsection and legs turned into hollow spirals with paper on the inner sides while yelling in horror.

Koichi spoke "Okuyasu!"

Since his Stand was affected, Okuyasu was in the same situation as he couldn't feel any strength in his legs.

Okuyasu gasps "What's going on?! *Falls down*"

The Smeargle spoke "Josuke Higashikata, Ichigo Momomiya, and the little cat Cinderpelt. I know you three are hiding over there."

What?! How'd he know we were hiding?!

Okuyasu asks "What the hell's up with this freaky-ass manga artist?!"

Smeargle asks "Silence. *Steps on Okuyasu's right hand* Now then Koichi, if you don't mind, I have a question. Why do you think Josuke Higashikata and company are choosing to remain hidden behind that door? Hmm? So what do you think? Why won't they show themselves, Koichi?"

Koichi spoke "Well, if I had to guess, I'd say they're laying low so they won't accidentally catch a sight of your manga!"

The Smeargle spoke "My thoughts exactly. How very astute of you. Okuyasu knew nothing about the power of my Heaven's Door, so he fell for my trap, hook, line and sinker. But in doing so, he exposed the true nature of my Stand to Josuke and his allies, causing them to take cover. I feel like I am somewhat-No. At this point, it would appear that I'm at a significant disadvantage. However, I believe that they have an ulterior motive for choosing to remain hidden. Why do you think that is? *As Koichi gasped at that* At any rate, this game of cat and mouse has gone on long enough. I suppose I'll have to resort to other means to smoke them out of their hiding place."

Okuyasu spoke "They're only hiding because they want to find out the best way to kick your ass!"

The Smeargle spoke "*Chuckle* You're probably right about that. But that wasn't the answer I was looking for. No matter though, I think I've got it. Our dear heroes, Josuke, Ichigo and Cinderpelt are contemplating whether they should flee the mansion all by their lonesomes. Some friends they were."

Koichi spoke "You're wrong! Josuke and Ichigo would never leave us behind!"

The Smeargle spoke "Right you are, Koichi. According to your files, Josuke Higashikata and Ichigo Momomiya have far too much character to even think about abandoning you two. But due to the dynamic nature of a manga artist's work, they tend to consider every conceivable possibility in every conceivable moment. So in the situation we now find ourselves in, what course of action will our protagonists employ? Let's see... Perhaps they could flee with knowledge of my Stand's power, which would be quite the dilemma for me."

Okuyasu spoke "You know... Running away might be the best thing they could do! They could go and get big bro or Midnight! And if they told Yukako what happened to you, I'm sure she'd be angry enough to help us out!"

Koichi spoke "*Yelp!* I'd rather not see her again! But we could use her hair."

Okuyasu spoke "Josuke! Ichigo! Cat! Get outta here and tell them what's going on!"

The Smeargle spoke "*Grabs Okuyasu's right wrist making him yell* You imbeciles! I explained all of that to you so it wouldn't happen. And I doubt you'd be so quick to prompt Josuke and the others if you knew what was written in you! *Throws away wrist, letting the hand go* Koichi, I'm giving you my express permission to explain the content of my missive."

Koichi looked at the paper before he gasped in shock and horror. "There's no way! You can't be serious!"

Okuyasu asks "Hey, out with it. What did he write, Koichi?"

Koichi spoke "How can he do that? It's sick! He's completely trapped us in this mansion! *With tears* It doesn't matter what we do, we're never getting outta here!"

Okuyasu spoke "Grr! That's why I'm asking what the hell this sicko wrote on my arm, Koichi!"

What was written on Okuyasu's right arm said "If Josuke, Ichigo or Cinderpelt causes problems for Rohan, I'll burn myself to death".

Okuyasu gasps "Burn myself to death?!"

Koichi spoke "That's why I said we're never get outta here! You'll kill yourself if Josuke, Ichigo or Cinderpelt so much as lifts a finger or claw to help us!"

Okuyasu asks"Hey, wait a second. He thinks I'll burn myself to death? *Laughs nervously* That's total crazy talk! As if I'd ever do something as messed up as setting myself on-*As a click was heard* Hmn?"

Okuyasu's right hand suddenly held a lighter with a flame coming out.

Koichi spoke "That's just it! You will! We're completely incapable of defying him!"

Okuyasu spoke "*As his right hand held the lighter under his left hand* Come on, right hand! Knock it off! This is so wrong!"

Okuyasu's left hand was now on fire as we came out.

Rohan scoffs "So you've come out."

Koichi spoke "Like they really had a choice! They were basically dragged out of here because they couldn't bear to hear us suffer!"

Fortunately, we had our eyes closed shut.

Rohan spoke "Oh, that's a rather childish move, but closing your eyes could be effective. There's nowhere to run in this cramped room. If he managed to knock me out, Heaven's Door will release its grip and Okuyasu wouldn't commit suicide."

Koichi spoke "*As Okuyasu's right hand started burning a paper of his right arm* Guys, help!"

The two of us charged forward as I shielded Cinderpelt while still having our eyes closed.

Rohan spoke "Hmm... Pretty good plan. *Grabs pen-tips* But all I have to do now is find a way to force your eyes open. *Throws pen-tips* Think fast!"

Five hit Josuke on the face, luckily nowhere vital and not deeply, while five hit me on my hands and arms, but I still shielded Cinderpelt, not letting go one bit.

Rohan spoke "What's this?! They're powering through the pain! If they keep charging at me like stampeding bulls, things are going to get very ugly!"

Koichi spoke "Keep going, everyone!"

Okuyasu spoke "For Pete's sake, hurry up!"

But then Rohan grabbed a page before reading it. "There! Exactly what I needed! It seems certain comments set you off, such as 'Your hair is laughable!' Or 'Wasn't that pincushion on your head in fashion like 2 decades ago?' Or 'Maybe you think that hair looks cool, don't you?' How's that?"

That made us stop dead in our tracks.

Rohan spoke "I guess remarks like those really do set him off. I must admit, it's hard to believe, but the files are always accurate. What a preposterous Achilles' Heel."

Oh boy, now I fear for this manga artist.

Josuke snarls "What the hell... did ya say? *Snaps eyes wide open* Huh?!"

Okuyasu spoke "Just take it easy, Josuke!"

Josuke spoke "I dare you to insult my hair again!"

Rohan spoke "If you insist. Fine, here goes. You might think your hair looks cool, but in actuality, it may be the shittiest hairstyle I've ever had the misfortune of laying eyes upon! *As Josuke growled* Though to be fair, that nest atop your useless noggin may come in handy in case a pigeon come by and decide to roost. But that's a very strong may. *Pokes Josuke's hair, making it bounce*"

And he dug his own grave. Shining Diamond came out, through a storm of punches when Rohan brought up his page of a manga manuscript.

Rohan spoke "Now witness Heaven's Door!"

Rohan thought he won before Shining Diamond punched the page and Rohan's face, making Koichi gasp in shock.

Okuyasu asks "How the...?"

Shining Diamond punched through the paper, shredding it to pieces as he punched Rohan rapidly in the face before delivering an uppercut, sending him flying towards a bookshelf, making some of its contents fall out and scatter.

Rohan asks "How is this happening?! I'm certain his eyes were open and he got a full flash of the manuscript! So why hasn't my Stand's ability taken effect?!"

The bookshelf then fell, trapping him underneath as Okuyasu and Koichi were restored to normal.

Koichi spoke "Wha-We're back to normal!"

Okuyasu spoke "You're right!"

Rohan asks "I know I showed him the page, so why-?"

Josuke spoke "*Thrashing around the room* Where the hell did you slither off to?! *Kicks stuff down and around* Get out here, you punk bitch!"

Okuyasu spoke"Hey, I don't think he can see straight right now."

Koichi asks "Can't see? Hold on, are you trying to say Rohan's stupid insults worked him up so much that he doesn't even realize what he's doing?"

But then the two dodged a thrown chair.

Josuke snarls "*Keeps thrashing around* Come on out, you manga-obsessed asshole! I got a story for ya!"

Okuyasu spoke "Yeah. *As Okuyasu held up a work desk* It doesn't matter if it's from a comic or someone's mouth, if he hears any kind of hair insult, he flies into a blind rage."

Josuke threw the desk through a window, shattering the glass.

Koichi spoke "Incredible! I had no idea his temper was this bad! I don't think I've seen anything like this in my entire life!"

Rohan asks "What the hell...?"

A page then started floating before it flew into Koichi's face, fully restoring it.

Rohan asks "This is a facet of Josuke's personality that even Koichi knew nothing about, so it wasn't in his file like everything else. Though I still don't get it. Why does he get so upset over his hair? There has to be a reason, but what is it?"

Josuke snarls "Whoever insults my hair will get the full brunt of my fury! I won't stand for that bullshit!"

Koichi spoke "*Gasp!* Now that I think about it, I'm positive Josuke told me the reason behind his freakouts when it comes to people insulting his hair. But it's kind of an involved story."

Okuyasu asks "Huh? What're talkin' about?"

Koichi spoke "It all happened when Josuke was a little kid. And uh..."

"Maybe I should explain." I said.

Cinderpelt meows in confusion.

Okuyasu asks "For real?"

I spoke "According to what I was told by the chipmunk, it was not long after Sonic and at least twenty others had gone missing."

After Danyelle pops up, she uses her Dimensional Scream to show Koichi and Okuyasu the truth about Josuke's hairstyle.

I managed to calm Josuke down from his tantrum by saying that his hairstyle was handsome, just like the guy it belongs to.

*Flashback to 13 years ago, shortly after Sonic and at least 20 other Mobians had gone missing,*

A four year old Josuke was very sick and had to be driven to the hospital but there was a nasty blizzard.

Past Tomoko asks "*As young Josuke panted and sweated from the fever* Josuke… *Tries to drive the car, only for it to not move as she banged her head against the wheel* No use. What do I do? *Grabs young Josuke’s left hand* Nobody uses this backroad anymore, and there’s not a pay phone in sight! I’m an idiot! I should’ve called for an ambulance! Why did I drive Josuke out into the snow? What’s wrong with me?"

That’s when it happened. An unknown man with a hairstyle Josuke was wearing today approach the car.

Past Tomoko spoke "Hey, what do you want? Just go away, you creeper!"

The guy looked at Josuke. “That child is sick, right? I’ll push the car for you."

That left Past Tomoko confused as the guy took off his jacket and placed it below the car in front of the back right tire. He then went behind the car and tapped the back window. “Hurry up and step on the gas. Once you get moving, don’t stop. You’ll get stuck in the snow again.”

Past Tomoko spoke "…Got it."

She then put the pedal to the metal as the man pushed the car from behind, allowing it to start moving forward using the jacket for friction before it started driving ahead as young Josuke looked at him.

Past Tomoko spoke*Relieved gasp with a smile before looking back* Thank you so much!"

Young Josuke looked at the rear view mirror, seeing the unknown man carrying his jacket as the car drove away. After the blizzard had long passed, Past Tomoko tried to find the man, but couldn’t find any track of him. Even though the guy wasn’t exactly involved in saving Josuke, as far as he was concerned while being 4, that guy was a personal hero to him. A hero, role model and a great example of a good person. Insult that, and you’re in for a bad time.

The Dimensional Scream then ended.

Josuke spoke "*To Koichi* I still don’t know who he is or where he’s from, but in honor of him coming to our rescue, I decided to adopt his hairstyle. No one is allowed to disrespect it, no matter who they are. Disrespecting me means disrespecting him."

Koichi spoke "As far as I’m aware, that’s the reason he flies off the handle. But I have to admit, I thought Josuke was just making it up, so I wasn’t listening very carefully."

Okuyasu spoke "Huh, I’ve never heard that story."

I spoke "Now you see why I have to compliment him all the time. Not only does it calm him down, it keeps his stress level down so that he doesn't turn full on Nirvasyl mode... Believe me, that is one form nobody wants to see happen."

Danyelle spoke "Ichigo, Josuke isn’t a natural-born beastman, so he can’t possibly contract that."

“Better safe than sorry.” I replied before we heard grunting, seeing Rohan holding his tail and a piece of paper, despite it being a bit damaged.

Koichi spoke "Gyah! Careful! Rohan’s holding his tail!"

Okuyasu asks "*Ready to through a kick* You bastard! Don’t know when to call it quits, do ya?"

Rohan spoke "*All of us unaware of the shadows over Josuke’s eyes* No, that’s not it! I wanted to make sure I write down my beautiful story before I lose consciousness. *As Okuyasu stopped in confusion before the Smeargle started writing down notes* What a tale… Bravo, and it had an amazing experience to boot. I’m overjoyed! Experiences like this happen once in a lifetime. Such great inspiration.. *Chuckles* How lucky am I! I’m so glad I packed my bags and moved to Morioh!"

Okuyasu spoke "It’s no use. As long as he’s alive, he’ll keep searching for manga material, even if he ends up battered and bruised."

Koichi spoke "At this point, you have to commend his determination. Putting aside good and bad for a minute, he has one of the most admirable work ethics I’ve ever seen! Rohan-sensei is truly a super manga artist!"

Josuke snarls "*Flips around, back to angry* So that’s where you are, manga artist! *Approaches him ready to pummel the Smeargle* Last I checked, I wasn’t done punchin’ you!"

The Smeargle screamed as Danyelle covered her mouth to keep her laughter in.

Okuyasu spoke "His determination is pretty commendable too."

Koichi spoke "Um, yeah."

Josuke started beating Rohan, breaking windows in the process.

Danyelle spoke *Calms down* If it keeps going like this, his Pink Dark Boy will be on a break for one month."

It didn’t take long for Josuke to get all of his anger out, and Rohan was still alive, and like Danyelle said, his comic will be postponed for one month as we left the mansion.

Cinderpelt was meowing with laughter since the others couldn't hear her actual voice.

I giggle "He had that one coming."

Danyelle giggles "hehe, yeah."
