A Medicine Cat among Ponies

*Danyelle’s POV*

Welp, we’re at Junes.

Twirama was heard laughing since Redux Twilight had threatened to slice Teddie to ribbons.

“Vince, Lan, you both ready?” I asked.

Vince spoke "Yeah sis!"

A loud bang was heard since Loot Loot had got sent flying by one of Golden Ingot's pranks.

Lan spoke "Time to find out what's going on in there."

I giggle "Oh, that was just Loot Loot getting pranked by Ingot."

Lan spoke "I meant in the TM world, sis!"

I spoke "Not a chance Lan! You don't want to worry Maylu if you got hurt."

Vince spoke "Don't you remember, Dany? What's going on in there requires all three of us."

I comically face-faulted at that.

Redux Danyelle spoke "What the cuss are we waiting for? Let's go!"

Those of us heading in jumped into the TM, finding ourselves back in the Tele-Mirror World.

OC-verse Roll asks "Is it just me or has it gotten foggier in here?"

Redux Danyelle spoke "Allow me!"

Redux Danyelle flaps her wings hard, blowing the fog away with her airbending.

“This doesn’t make sense. The fog should be gone from this world.” I noticed.

Redux Danyelle spoke "Unless someone was causing it on purpose..."

OC-verse Danyelle asks "Hey Warrior-verse me, didn't you say your parents died when you were 7?"

“Yeah, but… My gut’s telling me that mom is somehow in here, alive.” I admitted.

Looking at me, Redux Danyelle spoke "I looked into your past with my dimensional scream and I don't think she's even alive."

But then a voice somehow echoed, “Danyelle… Vince… Lan…”

Redux Danyelle growls "that smells like a siren..."

OC-verse Danyelle growls "I sense it too..."

A voice calls out “Help… me…”

The five cats look at each other before running towards the noise.

Redux Danyelle and I spoke "Oh my StarClan..."

OC-verse Danyelle asks "What the...?"

“Looks like our path to the source isn’t going to be easy.” I noted, seeing Shadows.

Redux Danyelle spoke "We could just teleport past them."

“Problem with that, if fog and Shadows are in this labyrinth, then teleporting to anywhere except the entrance of this place or world is disabled.” I pointed out.

Two white furred wolves pop out of OC-verse Danyelle's shadow as one pops out of Redux Danyelle's shadow.

Redux Danyelle spoke "good thing my OC-verse counterpart and I have the same stand."

Lan spoke "Let's go!"

Pink-blue armor appears on OC-verse Danyelle's body as well as her stand.

MegaDanyoll spoke "Yeah!"

We fought the shadows before soon beating them.

Redux Danyelle's eyes shimmer.

Redux Danyelle spoke "Watch out! Giant shadow approaching!"

A figure started coming out of the fog, and it was… Mom?!

Redux Danyelle growls "Careful Warrior-verse me, don't get tricked by a fake!"

OC-verse Danyelle was growling as well.

I... I wanted to believe my counterparts, but... Somehow, my heart was telling me that was her.

The female spoke "It's so good to see you three again."

I spoke "I thought you were killed ten years ago!"

The female spoke "I thought so too, but I didn't want to leave you and your brothers all alone."

But then she yelled in pain as something started happening to her.

The female spoke "Please! Get out of here! She's taking over again!"

Redux Danyelle shouts "Chaos Chains!"

Chains of pure chaos energy restrain the Abyssinian female.

But then the chaos chains were somehow absorbed into mom as she transformed into a giant half-pegasus half Abyssinian beast.

The monster spoke "I am a Shadow, the true self… I have merged with the other me. Come, my children, let us be together forever."

BATTLE START!!!

I yowl as my counterparts and I fire devout beads at the monster.

Redux Danyelle launches blades of air at the monster.

Vince and Lan were doing pretty good too.

I spoke "Damn it... It's feeding on her guilt! We can't stop it."

Vince spoke "Calm down, Dany! Mom just needs a wake-up call from us!"

I spoke "But Vince, she's out of control!"

Lan spoke "Wait! Maybe there's something that can help!"

Glancing at my cutie mark, I spoke "I think I have an idea."

I started singing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=insF0_YTb40 as the other four sang along.

The five of us kept singing.

The voice asks "GYAH!!! *Voice sounding different* D-Danyelle…? Vince…? Lan…?"

Ocean Melody's singing voice rang clear.

A voice spoke "Please… Help… Me…"

Redux Danyelle flew at high speed into the shadow's chest, causing it to roar in pain.

*Redux Danyelle's POV*

Keeping my mind and heart clear, I look around for the source of the voice.

Warrior-verse Tina whimpers "Help me…"

I cast an ice bubble around the Pegasus and lassoing the bubble with Chaos Chains before flying back out, pulling the bubble along with me.

Shadow Tina screams "NOOOOO!!!"

Now that I look at Warrior-verse Tina, any injuries she had looked fully healed but they also left behind some scars.

I spoke "NOW OC-VERSE ME!"

OC-verse Danyelle spoke "You got it!"

OC-verse Danyelle then blasted Shadow Tina, beating her and reverting her back to normal, despite still having the golden eyes.

Danyelle growls "Where is my father?"

Shadow Tina spoke "…Dead. You saw what happened. Died trying to protect me…"

Vince spoke "Mom told Dany and I to take Lan and run though!"

I removed the chaos chains and ice bubble around Tina.

Tina spoke "Don’t let her words get to you… She’s trying to get one of you three to kill her, because she feels like a complete failure as a mother. And I should know I felt that too…"

That made my Warrior-verse counterpart freeze.

OC-verse Danyelle spoke "Like I told the Gilda and Moondancer of my universe... The past can hurt but the way I see it, you can either run from it or learn from it."

I spoke "It's true."

Tina asks "*Sniffles with tears threatening to fall* You… You really mean that?"

OC-verse Danyelle spoke "Not long after I had arrived in the Equestria of my universe, I sensed something was bugging Gilda so I reached out to her. I understood her on an emotional level since I had lost contact with a friend I used to have when I was a child. I also helped my universe's Twilight forgive herself when she bailed on Moondancer's party, I stopped an AWOL Starlight Glimmer by bringing Sunburst in to stop her. I've yet to get Chrysalis to change her ways for the better. I also reformed the Dazzlings of my universe as well."

Tina whimpered before pulling herself together and faced her Shadow. “You’re right. I thought myself as a failure of a mother, but I also thought of myself as a failure of a wife. You were right about everything you said about me. But I can’t let my guilt weigh me down or my past define me. And I know you know that too, right? I mean, you’re me after all.”

Shadow Tina seemed shocked before nodding with a gentle smile as she became engulfed in a blue light.

Danyelle spoke "I should warn you mom... Lan, Vince and I have kids now."

Tina asks "H-Huh?"

Shadow Tina became a blue light as it went into Tina.

Danyelle spoke "Two girls."

Lan spoke "One boy."

Vince spoke "One boy and one girl."

Tina was shocked to say the least.

I giggle "You don't wanna know how many kids I have."

Danyelle spoke "Come on, Mom. Let’s go."

Tina spoke "I'm sorry but I can't leave this world, everyone thinks I'm dead."

Lan asks "Come on! Don't you wanna see your grandkids?"

Vince spoke "Lan, we can't take Mom out of the TM world."

Danyelle spoke "Vince is right Lan, last thing we need is the Investigation Team hounding us with a shitload of questions."

Lan asks "Come on! The case was closed! Wouldn’t this mean the case just solved itself?"

That… actually makes sense.

Danyelle spoke "StarClan's sake Lan, the case was closed ten years ago! It was marked unsolved by Rising Sun herself!"

Lan spoke "AND THE CASE IS STILL CLOSED, SO IT WOULDN’T CHANGE EVEN AFTER WE BRING MOM BACK WITH US! And knowing Seiko, he’ll just leave this be."

Danyelle slaps her younger brother across the face.

Danyelle spoke "JUST LET IT GO LAN!!!! THE POLICE NEVER FOUND MOM'S BODY TEN YEARS AGO!"

Lan snaps "DON’T YOU GET IT! IF WE LEAVE MOM HERE, SHE’LL JUST BE ALL ALONE AND WHO’S TO SAY SHE WON’T LOSE IT AGAIN?!?"

That made us freeze.

I snare the four with chains, stopping them.

I spoke "StarClan's sake! Can't you four just drop it? What's done is done!"

That seemed to have calmed them down as I let them go.

“And besides this is Tina’s decision.” I added.

Tina asks "…I’m glad that you three are alright, and I appreciate you don’t want others to question me. But… now that I know all of you are married and have children, how am I supposed to stay here when they haven’t seen their own grandmother?"

Danyelle spoke "My brothers and I had given up on looking for you since the police didn't want us in their way ten years ago..."

*Ten years ago, Ineighba*

*Young Danyelle's POV*

Come on! She’s still gotta be alive!

My 7 year old twin brother was carrying a 4 year old Lan on his back.

Young Vince spoke "Sis, we have to hide. that orphanage manager is still after us."

“I know! But I refuse to believe our parents are dead! Their bodies were never found, so they have to be alive!” I said while we were still running.

Young Lan spoke "But Nee-chan, you saw what happened to dad...."

Young Vince spoke "And mom too…"

“NO!! I refuse to believe they’re dead! I want to find them and the truth!” I declared.

A pink furred Abyssinian with jade green eyes crashed into me.

“Ow! Sorry!” I apologized.

Young Roll asks "Dany? Vince? Lan? That you?"

“Roll?!” The three of us gasped in surprise.

I tease "Hey Vince, I heard a little rumor that Roll has a crush on you."

Young Vince spoke "Sh-shut up sis!"

Roll spoke "*Blush* N-Now’s not the time for this!"

My left ear twitches.

I spoke "Uh oh.... We have to run... NOW!"

I grab Young Roll by the wrist before running as fast as I could to Rising Sun's castle, keeping to the alleyways since my yellow fur would stick out like a sore claw.

Young Vince asks "W-What happened?"

After rolling around in some mud to disguise my fur color, I spoke "That jerk of a manager was chasing Roll... And please don't ask about the mud."

Young Vince spoke "Okay."

I ask "Wait... Where's Lan?"

Young Vince spoke "Huh? But I’m holding him on my ba… *Looks behind himself, seeing Young Lan gone*"

I groan "You idiot, we can't go looking for him now. Not with that jerk's goons looking for us."

Young Vince asks "Wait… You don’t think HE got Lan, do ya?!"

I spoke "More than likely but we can't go after Lan now, not when the three of us are so close to Rising Sun's castle."

One worker calls out "HEY BOSS! I FOUND THE LITTLE SHITS!"

I grab Young Vince and Young Roll by the wrists before hightailing it to the castle.

Now exhausted, I ask "Did we lose them?"

I heard no response.

I look back, noticing that the two were gone.

I whimper "Vince.... Where are you...?"

*end flashback*

Redux Danyelle's POV*

I shook my head to shake off the headache.

I spoke "I had no idea you had it that bad."

Danyelle asks "How did you…?"

I spoke "Much like the OC-verse me, I can see past and future."

Danyelle spoke "Oh."

I spoke "Yeah but I can't control when it happens."

OC-Verse Danyelle spoke "Same here."

My left ear twitches before I started growling.

A sudden Flamethrower hits the shadow heartless, causing it to explode.

A voice spoke "Hope I'm not late!"

I spoke "Akane! Good timing!"

Akane showed up. “I try."

Danyelle spoke "You look different than the last time I saw you."

Akane spoke "You can blame Pierce throwing a Fire Stone at me for that."

I spoke "I gave that idiot sheep hell for the prank."

OC-Verse Danyelle giggles "*Teasing* So Akane, have your eyes on anyone?"

Akane growls "I'm 16 for Arcee's sake!"

“You are, but you’re not too young for love.” I teased with a smirk.

Akane spoke "Bite me."

My OC-verse counterpart and I giggled.

Akane grumbles "You two are worse than a pissed off Sesshomaru...."

“Hey, we’re not angry.” I pointed out.

Akane spoke "So says the nekomata with a Donald-level temper."

“Excuse me?!” I growled.

OC-verse Danyelle spoke "Redux me, you’re only proving her point."

Danyelle spoke "Can we focus on getting out of here? I do NOT want to be here any longer!"

But then a stack of three tele-mirrors appeared.

OC-verse Danyelle asks "What the hell?"

Danyelle spoke "Guess Teddie already sensed us and made us a way out."

OC-verse Danyelle spoke "Can't be the Teddie I know, he's a pervert."

Danyelle spoke "Don't worry, this one's a pervert too. But let's go."

I spoke "*sweatdrop* Miroku and Brock are worse."

Tina went in first before the rest of us came through.

OC-verse Danyelle had gone back to her universe.

I spoke "Well, I should get going before Rani sets the kitchen on fire again."

*Tina’s POV*

Akane and Redux Danyelle went back to her universe.

A pair of alicorn-Abyssinian kittens had flown at Danyelle, tackle hugging her.

“Who are these little cuties?” I gushed.

Danyelle spoke "These two are Irene and Akoya, my daughters."

The two looked at me, full of curiosity.

Vince spoke "My two are named Volt and Jazz."

Lan spoke "And my son is named Patch."

Irene and Akoya started flying toward me.

Melody and Lettuce were on Danyelle\s back.

"And who are they?" I added as Irene and Akoya hugged me.

Danyelle s[poke "The pale green is Lettuce Rsuh and the catlike one is Ocean Melody."
