Life as a Sonic OC Redux

*Wastelands Zoey/Ichigo’s POV*

Well, the meeting yesterday was definitely something. That kraken fiasco and the truth of the timeline Cinderpelt came from felt overwhelming to me. I’m visiting Morioh with Shizue.

Twilight tagged along, automatically switching to her alien form.

Deep Lilac spoke "Good thing I don't visit the EG world, I would have been locked up and experimented on."

“No kidding.” I assured before we came across Josuke and Okuyasu.

Deep Lilac spoke "Just thought of it scares me."

Josuke asks "Something going on?"

“We were just talking about alien stuff.” I answered.

Okuyasu spoke "Really? That’s weird."

Deep Lilac asks "Aside from me and Dren, how many aliens do you know Josuke?"

Josuke spoke "*Shrug* Beats me."

Okuyasu froze up for some reason as he pointed at something. “Hey! Guys, over there! Check out the weird holes!”

Josuke spoke "What’re you talking abou-*Gasp!*"

Deep Lilac and I looked before we saw what the duo were seeing, and it was really weird.

Okuyasu asks "*Gasp!* You see what I mean? Now, am I goin’ crazy, or is that one of those creepy slop hurdles?"

Josuke spoke "It’s some sort of crop circle."

Okuyasu asks "Yeah! It’s one of those things! Man, that’s spooky! Who would’ve thought one of ‘em would pop up in some random field in Morioh?"

Deep Lilac spoke "I don't think we're dealing with Kytinns, Vaeternians, Black Arms, Catians, Orsonians, Dogisians or Cyniclons here..."

Josuke spoke "Wait, everyone. I’ve got a weird feeling about this. Take a close look at the middle of the circle.

We did, see an arm laying out of a lump of grass, making us gasp in shock.

Josuke spoke "Something’s definitely not right here!

Okuyasu asks "*As Josuke started heading to the circle* We actually doing this, Josuke?

Josuke spoke "I don’t want to, but we don’t have much of a choice.

We were soon at the lump of grass.

Okuyasu asks "Just be careful, okay?

Josuke spoke "Yeah."

Josuke moved some grass, revealing a male Elgyem Poké-Mobian that was as tall as Josuke with long, straight light hair flowing back over his head while wearing a nose chain, as he also wore a dark, modified school uniform with various astronomical and alien-themed symbols, including ringed planets either side of his collar, and in a column on his torso two flying saucers, two stars, and an infinity symbol with a crescent moon and sun in either loop. There was a hollow small wound on the right side of his neck, nothing serious.

Okuyasu asks "So? He alive or what?"

Josuke spoke "Well, it looks like something scratched him on the back of his neck, but from what I can tell, he just fainted. *Grabs left shoulder* Hey, you alright? Wake up!"

Okuyasu spoke "Ya know, I don’t think I’ve ever seen this guy around as school. *As the Elgyem’s eyes lit up* Look, he’s finally starting to come to."

But then the Elgyem suddenly stood up without using his hands, spooking us before he looked around.

The Elgyem asks "Hmm… How strange. OH. You, what is this place?"

Okuyasu spoke "Whaddya mean? You’re in the middle of an empty field in Budogaoka, Morioh."

The Elgyem asks "So then, is this Mobius?"

Okuyasu asks "*As the rest of us lightly gasped* Huh?"

The Elgyem spoke "I’m not certain why, but I felt quite unwell last evening. I must have fallen unconscious shortly thereafter. *Looks at watch* It’s past 8:00. Given that fact, I estimate I’ve been unconscious for nearly 13 Mobian hours."

The four of us were silent for a few seconds before we started laughing as I clutched my stomach with one arm while Josuke, Okuyasu and Deep Lilac were rolling on the ground clutching their stomach with both hands.

Deep Lilac laughs "I can’t believe I fell for that!"

Okuyasu laughs "That’s a good one, man! You really had us going there!"

Josuke laughs "*Stops rolling while patting the ground with his right hand* I’ve gotta hand it to you. That’s one of the best jokes I’ve heard in a long time! If this whole alien thing doesn’t work out, you could totally become a comedian! You’re hilarious! You made your own crop circle and waited in a bunch of weeds for someone to come by? Talk about committing to a bit! Bravo, sir! Bravo!"

“RD, Pinkie and Aph are gonna be so jealous once I tell ‘em about this prank!” I laughed.

Deep Lilac laughs "Look bub, I know aliens and you're not an alien!"

Okuyasu laughs "Oh, god, my stomach! I can’t breathe!"

The Elgyem brought something out of his bag, revealed to be something medical to help with stomach pain.

“Huh?” The four of us asked before we started laughing harder.

“It’s too much!” I laughed.

Josuke laughs "It’s freakin’ ridiculous! *Laugh* So what school do you go to, Mr. Alien?"

Okuyasu spoke "You’re just our kind of guy, my man!"

Deep Lilac laughs "Wow! This is too funny!"

The Elgyem spoke ""What school? My home planet was in the Magellanic Clouds, but it was recently destroyed. I’ve journeyed to Mobius to survey its livability. Moreover, I seek to assess the amiability of its people."

Okuyasu chuckled a bit as the joke started getting old.

Josuke spoke "Piece of advice, you should quit while you’re ahead. You totally nailed the prank. Just ride the wave. *Brings out a box* And here. Have a tissue."

The Elgyem accepted the box of tissues and looked at it before eating it, box and all tissues, much to our confusion.

The Elgyem spoke "*Swallow* Many thanks. That was quite palatable."

Okay, we were weirded out by that.

Okuyasu spoke "*Looks at watch* Hey, look at the time. We don’t wanna be late for school!"

Josuke spoke "Oh, yeah, you’re right. *As he and Okuyasu picked up their bags* Let’s head out."

“Hey! Wait for us!” I called out as Deep Lilac, Shizue and I caught up with Josuke and Okuyasu.

Okuyasu asks "Did you see the way that guy scarfed down that tissue?"

Josuke spoke "Even comedians know when to quit."

Deep Lilac spoke "Seriously Josuke, I know aliens and he's not an alien."

*Later…*

Okuyasu spoke "Aw, no! The ice cream store’s closed! But this is the only thing that makes Monday mornings bearable!"

Josuke spoke "There’s nothing we can do about it now, so let’s just go."

I spoke "We can come back later."

The Elgyem asks "Would you four care for some ice cream?"

“Huh?” The four of us asked, turning around, seeing that Elgyem again.

The Elgyem asks "Well? Would you like the cream?"

Okuyasu spoke "Obviously, but the place is closed. We’re outta luck."

The Elgyem spoke "That is no reason to give up. I just so happen to have four here. *Brings out four ice cream cones in plastic wrappings* It’s a quid pro quo for the tissues you gave me. *As the four us gasped at that while accepting the cones-in-bags in our confusion* Mobius seems quite livable indeed. That, it does."

Okuyasu asks "What? *Groan* Why do you have ice cream in your bag? And how are they cold?!"

The Elgyem asks "Are the ice of creams unsatisfactory?"

Okuyasu asks "That’s not the point right now, alien boy! Who are you, for real?!"

The Elgyem spoke "Bizarre. If I recall, I already told you. Ah! You want me to introduce myself. How could I forget? You may hereafter address me as Nu Mikitakazo Nshi. I’ve lived 216 cycles. I am a sole pilot of a spaceship, and I also rather enjoy owning house pets. *As that info made us even more confused before he started petting a mouse he brought out of his bag* This is the house mouse that spends its days in my bag. He particularly likes it when I brush his back."

Deep Lilac spoke "Okay, I'm calling Applejack. This guy is obviously lying."

A male Mammorest Cryst Pal-Mobian had opened the door of the ice cream shop.

The Mammorest Cryst spoke "Hey kids, sorry about that. I was dealing with my idiot brother earlier."

I activated a telepathy spell between me, Deep Lilac, Josuke and Okuyasu.

Okuyasu: {This freak’s a Stand User. No doubt about it. Let’s send him to the hospital.}"

Josuke asks "{Use your brain, Okuyasu. Do you really think a Stand User would make up a story about being from the Magellanic Clouds?}"

Okuyasu asks "{Well, if you’re so smart, what the hell is he?}"

The Elgyem spoke "*Comforting his pet mouse* There, there. It’s all right."

Deep Lilac spoke "{Definitely not an alien, that’s for sure.}"

“{I’m drawing a blank here.}” I telepathically admitted.

Josuke spoke "{I don’t have the foggiest idea, but it’s time to find out. Good call, Lilac. And don’t eat that ice cream.}"

Okuyasu mentally gasped, stopping himself from opening the bag before I turned off the spell.

Okuyasu asks "You’re 216 years old?"

Mikitaka spoke "Yes."

After pondering for a few seconds with the Elgyem copying his movements, Okuyasu decided to ask another question. “And you’re some kind of spaceship pilot? *As Mikitaka winced* Yo, why are you copying me?”

Mikitaka asks "Huh?"

Josuke asks "*As Deep Lilac privately brought out a warp ring* Let’s focus here. So, friend, what’s the deal? Are you telling us you’re an alien?"

Mikitaka spoke "An alien. An alien, yes. I should have informed you when we met. I am indeed an alien."

Okuyasu spoke "You know, you’re a loony-"

Josuke asks "*Covers Okuyasu’s mouth* You said you had a ship. If it’s a genuine flying saucer, it should be no problem to call it over. You can do that, right?"

Mikitaka spoke "Of course, but it’s currently at an altitude of 1,500,000 kilometers, so it’d take approximately three days. So you’ll have to wait for a while."

Josuke spoke "Let me guess. You call it with that watch."

Mikitaka spoke "Impressive deductive reasoning. However, this must stay between us. You mustn’t share my secret with anyone."

I reactivated that telepathy spell between the four of us.

Okuyasu spoke "{I thought that stunt with the crop circle was an innocent prank, but he’s off his rocker. Maybe I should knock this nose-ringed psycho back to the mothership.}"

Josuke spoke "{You always let your fists do the talking. Let’s dig a little deeper before we get violent.}"

Deep Lilac spoke "{Good thing I alerted Applejack already, she's on her way now.}"

“{Sweet.}” I smiled before deactivating it again.

Josuke asks "So you’re an alien, huh? Does that mean you’re hiding some kinda ray gun or antigravity device in there?"

Mikitaka spoke "I have both of those things, but I did not journey to Mobius to engage in conflict, so I have stored them on my ship."

Okuyasu asks "Aw, come on, Mr. Alien Man. Why don’t you show us something cool already? Even your blood is boring. What alien doesn’t come with green blood?"

Deep Lilac asks "*Deadpan* Seriously?"

Josuke spoke "Good point. Alien blood’s always green. Everyone knows that."

I couldn’t help but facepalm.

Mikitaka asks "I see. *As Applejack showed up* Are you accusing me of lying?"

Josuke spoke "Hey, take it easy, man."

Okuyasu spoke "Yeah, we’re calling you out, idiot! I can deal with a prank here and there, but I’ll be erased before I waste my time with a freak like you!"

Josuke spoke "I thought we were gonna do things my way!"

Okuyasu spoke "Shut up! It’s always better to say it like it is!"

The Mammorest Cryst asks "Is something going on?"

Applejack was in her Mobian form while wearing clothes that suited her before we heard sirens blaring and bells ringing, seeing a firetruck pass by with red flaring lights.

Okuyasu asks "*As he and some of us covered out eats* Oh, man. Did a fire break out?"

But then Mikitaka suddenly started screaming as we both gasped, seeing the Elgyem gagging too before we started seeing him turn pink and break out in hives while covering the sides of his head with his hands.

Okuyasu asks "Huh?"

Josuke asks "Wh-What’s happening?"

Mikitaka spoke "This sound, I can’t stand this sound! You have to find a way to stop this sound! Such a horrible sensation! I’m allergic to this wretched noise! *Runs* Make it stop!"

Mikitaka kept screaming as he dove into a bush.

Applejack asks "What in tarnation?"

Okuyasu spoke "That’s enough! This guy’s not right! We should get as far away from him as we possibly can!"

Josuke spoke "Yeah, but he’s suffering. We can’t just up and abandon him in this condition."

Okuyasu spoke "He said it was allergies. Just leave him alone. I’m outta here, guys. *Leaves*"

Josuke spoke "Hey! Come back! Tch, he can be such a jerk."

Deep Lilac drags Okuyasu back with magic.

The Elgyem was shuddering.

Josuke asks "Hey, you doin’ okay over here?"

Mikitaka spoke "Please, take me away. Take me away from this horrid sound."

The Elgyem screamed again as his lower half suddenly turned into blue wavering tentacle-like goop.

Josuke asks "What the?"

Mikitaka spoke "Take me away!"

Josuke spoke "Whoa, you were telling the truth."

Applejack spoke "Okay, I don’t know what ta make heads or tail o’ this."

Mikitaka spoke "Indeed, I was. *Transforming* I have the ability to transmute my form into anything. Hurry! Let us take our leave, I beg of you! This sound is going to split my head in two! *Splits into two gooey projectiles heading for Josuke’s feet* I’ll turn into sneakers, so, please, put them on, and save me!"

The goop covered Josuke’s shoes before the goop became sneakers as they tied themselves properly, much to our shock.

Mikitaka spoke "In return for your help, I’ll do anything you ask!"

Josuke started floating as he and the rest of us gasped.

The Mammorest Cryst asks "What’s happening?"

Josuke asks "Hey, are you a Stand User?"

Okuyasu spoke "I knew it!"

But before any of us knew it, when Josuke jumped, he leapt an impossibly incredible distance. “Whoa! *Screams*”

Deep Lilac spoke "That speed’s statistically impossible!"

The Mammorest Cryst spoke "Uh… Maybe some ice cream could help calm the nerves of what we just saw? I think I need one myself."

A warp ring opens up before Tailsko and Wastelands Firestar step out.

Wastelands Firestar meows but I was the only one who was able to hear his actual voice.

Tailsko asks "What’s going on?"

I spoke "We got a guy who's claiming to be an alien but I don't think he is a legit alien."

Wastelands Firestar asks "Meow? (Huh?)"

I spoke "I know actual aliens but that guy is no alien... I mean, seriously? There's no feasible way for him to be 216 years old unless he was immortal or a demon."

Tailsko spoke "Seriously though, how-"

Tailsko was suddenly tackled from behind.

A male version of Cream spoke "I found you, Miss Tailsko!"

Wastelands Firestar was growling since he was startled.

Deep Lilac asks "What the?"

I spoke "I sense a bit of anger from Wastelands Firestar..."

Deep Lilac asks "Like what?"

I spoke "Well.. he's got a huge crush on the two tailed vixen."

Wastelands Firestar spoke "Meow... {She reminds me of my dead mate...}"

“Wait, have you seen her dead body?” I asked.

Wastelands Firestar spoke "Meow meow… {No, but I didn’t need to see that to know she was gone…}"

But then a portal opened with a female voice coming from it. “Well, I wouldn’t say that, and besides, you have a lot to thank your Kenshi for since he, his sensei and his Scorpion managed to kill Titan Kano and defeat his Black Dragons.”

A head poked out of the portal, looking like Jasmine, but her hairstyle was a bit more wild.

Wastelands Firestar asks "Meow? {Abigaile? What are you doing here?}"

Abigaile asks "Let me guess, one of my counterparts told you about me?"

Wastelands Firestar spoke "Meow... meow... {I... Can't go back...}"

Abigaile spoke "You’re scared, I get that. But believe me, the wastelands can be undone, even by a little bit at a time. You won’t believe how many I teleported to my dimension from Mobius, Equis and how many cats I teleported as well in so few gos. I couldn’t teleport much between other realms and my dimension since I made it hidden so Kano wouldn’t track me down or find it. And besides, there are still villages and towns in that timeline making good livings."

Tailsko spoke "It's more than that miss, I'm kinda the reason why..."

Abigaile asks "And you’re scared to go back to your timeline to, aren’t ya?"

Tailsko spoke "It's not just that... I have kids on the way.... And I'm terrified of bringing them into a world that is at constant war with Eggwoman..."

“…When did that happen?” I asked.

Wastelands Firestar sniffs me.

Wastelands Firestar gasps "Meow! {I know your scent! You were my owner at one point!}"

“Wait-what?” I asked, even more confused.

Wastelands Firestar pulled out his old collar, showing it to me.

“No way… Is that really you?” I gasped in shock.

Wastelands Firestar jumps into my arms before rubbing his head against my face.

“Rusty… I can’t believe it’s really you.” I smiled with happy tears before nuzzling Firestar back while hugging him.

Wastelands Firestar mewls while nuzzling me.

Wastelands Firestar spoke "Meow. {Please Ichi, call me Firestar now.}"

“Heehee, okay.” I giggled.

Wastelands Firestar started growling since he sensed danger.

“Huh? What is it?” I asked before Wastelands Firestar jumped off and started running in a direction as I followed him, along with the others before we soon heard sirens blaring. We later stopped after seeing the fire trucks stop, seeing Rohan’s house being on fire.

Tamami spoke "Rohan-Sensei, your house is burning to the ground!"

Josuke asks "Eh?"

We saw Josuke and Rohan at a table, placing some kind of dice game as the dice started transforming while Rohan and Tamami were unaware.

Tamami spoke "It was the magnifying glass. The sunlight went through it and started the fire! We were distracted and didn’t notice!"

Josuke gasped as he grabbed the transforming dice and clutched them to his chest before turning around.

Rohan spoke "*Stands up* Shut up! I don’t care if the house ends up in a heap of ash. All that matters here is figuring out how Josuke is cheating!"

Tamami spoke "Don’t be ridiculous! Just take your two million, and get the hell outta here!"

I noticed Rohan’s left pinky having been stabbed and hanging onto his hand as Josuke started walking away while hiding the morphing dice.

Josuke spoke "Well, I think I’ll be going now."

Rohan spoke "Hey! Come back!"

Josuke spoke "*Summons Shining Diamond* But before I go, I’ll fix that finger of yours."

Shining Diamond healed Rohan’s left pinky and reattached it.

Rohan spoke "Ohh. You can’t just heal people without permission! *As Josuke ran off with the transmuting dice* Josuke, wait! You little…!"

The firefighters got to work with their hoses to extinguish the flames.

I help the firefighters stop the fire by using my magic to choke out the oxygen, killing the flames.

Wastelands Firestar hisses at Rohan, making him back off.

Wastelands Firestar growls "HISS!! {DON'T TOUCH MY MISTRESS' MATE!}"

Later, Wastelands Firestar, the others and I were running off with Josuke and the Elgyem.

Josuke asks "That was a close one! I guess I’m the kind of guy that some people just love to hate, huh? Who would have figured?"

Mikitaka asks "What’s wrong? You seem displeased. Tell me, was I of adequate assistance to you?"

Josuke spoke "Could you, like, shut up?! Jeez!"

Something tells me whatever happened is a long story. Wait, when did the Elgyem show up?

I had a blush on my face since my cat had referred to Josuke as my mate.

Applejack asks "Hold on, *To the Mammorest Cryst* what’s yer name?"

The Mammorest Cryst spoke "My name is Hudson."

Applejack spoke "Huh, interestin’ name."

Josuke asks "Something up, Ichi?"

Knowing that I couldn't tell a lie with Applejack nearby, I spoke "I haven't been too honest about my actual name."

Josuke spoke "It’s Zoey, right? I mean, you and her look like mirrors of each other."

I spoke "Yeah but my Mobian form has cherry red fur, hers has black fur. That's pretty much the only difference. Plus I'm younger."

Abigaile spoke "Oh! Almost forgot, there’s someone who wants to see Firestar."

Wastelands Firestar asks "Meow? {Who?}"

Tailsko was starting to get a bit upset.

Abigaile noticed that and counted between one and two on her fingers before stopping at one as she snapped her fingers, opening a small portal before a dark gray tomcat came out.

The tomcat spoke "Meow. {Hehe, hey Firestar.}"

I ask "You're Graystripe right?"

Wastelands Graystripe spoke "Meow, meow meow. {Yep. It’s a long story, so the gist of it is that Abigaile helped keep us safe.}"

I poof to my full cat form though it had a cherry red tint to the fur.

I spoke "{It's kind of embarrassing to be in this form though since I prefer to be in my regular form.}"

Wastelands Graystripe spoke "{Whoa, wasn’t expecting that. Then again, you guys might not be expecting this either.}"

Wastelands Graystripe suddenly got bigger and fatter with his legs, feet, tail, body and head grew in two sizes before he was as big as a four year-old child.

Wastelands Graystripe spoke "{You can thank Abigaile for me being able to switch between restraint and unbound forms.}"

I spoke "{I don't think it's a good idea for Sandstorm to find out about the fox though....}"

Wasteland Graystripe was confused as a pale ginger she-cat came out.

Wastelands Sandstorm asks "{Is that you, Firestar?}"

Tailsko's ears flatten in annoyance.

I facepaw before sighing "{Me and my big mouth...}"

Wastelands Firestar spoke "{Uh… Hi, Sandstorm.}"

Wastelands Sandstorm asks "{Who’s that?}"

Wastelands Firestar spoke "{Look, I’m sorry I couldn’t find enough food, and when you weren’t there, I dreaded that you were gone.}"

Tailsko was growling in annoyance since she was the one carrying Wastelands Firestar's kits.

Wastelands Sandstorm spoke {*Sigh* Seeing how she’s acting to me, I can understand what’s going on. I’ll try to get along with her for your sake. Just please don’t forget you’ll always have my love and loyalty.}"

I spoke "{Maybe there's a way around this situation.}"

Wastelands Firestar asks "{How so?}"

I ask "{Firestar, you still love Sandstorm right?}"

Wastelands Firestar spoke "{*Whispers to me* Both her and Tailsko.}"

I spoke "{Too bad Mobian marriage laws state you can only have one wife... But there might be a way around it.}"

Wastelands Firestar asks "{That being?}"

I spoke "{A blood transfusion.}"

Wastelands Firestar asks "{Really?}"

“{But it’ll have to be from a firebending stallion, preferably an earth pony.}” I pointed out.

I thought it over and realized the only plausible option was Fire Streak.

“{One stallion comes to mind, but that could lead to side effects since he’s a Pegasus.}” I noted.

Wastelands Firestar spoke "{Honestly, I don't care at this point.}"

“{You sure, ‘cause there’s no going back after this.}” I warned.

Wastelands Firestar spoke "{If it bypasses the Mobian marriage laws, I'm willing to take the risk for BOTH of my girls.}"

“{Okay.}” I said before taking my original form.

Tailsko immediately covered Okuyasu's eyes with her hands and Josuke's eyes with a tail.

Wastelands Sandstorm knocks Wastelands Firestar and Wastelands Graystripe out.

I ask "Uh.... What's going on?"

Tailsko spoke "Girl... you don't have any clothes on..."

I scream as I covered my body with my wings, I was thankful that the feathers were long enough to cover my rear as well.

*The next Day...*

I was walking with Shizue and Josuke while Wastelands Firestar was on my shoulder with something covering his back as a surprise.

Mikitaka spoke "*As Josuke yawned* Eh? Oh, Josuke, Ichigo, Shizue, it’s you. Thank you again."

Josuke asks "Hey, man, no prob. So, did you find a place to sleep and get a bite to eat?"

“Mikitaka! Mikitaka! Get your butt over here this instant! We haven’t been in town that long, and there are lots of errands to be done, young Elgyem.” A female voice called out as we saw a female Beeheeyem with a scarf-hood.

Mikitaka: Of course. Sorry, mother. I’m coming."

“Huh? Mother?” Josuke and I asked in confusion.

Mikitaka’s mother spoke "Oh, for Pete’s sake. Are you telling people that you’re an alien again? What have I told you about playing these pranks? I do apologize if my boy has been a bother. They actually took him seriously at his school in Tokyo. You should have seen the ruckus he caused. *Laughs* Now, if you’ll excuse us. *Starts to leave*"

Josuke asks "Huh? What?"

“What’s going on?” I asked, still lost.

Mikitaka spoke "I brainwashed her. Isn’t that great? As far as she knows, I’m her son. Mikitaka Hazekura is my alias while I’m here on Mobius. So long for now!"

Mrs. Hazekura spoke "Mikitaka! It’s time to go!"

Mikitaka then left, following Mrs. Hazekura as Josuke and I were totally baffled.

To be Continued...
