//------------------------------// // Magical Mystery Cure // Story: A Medicine Cat among Ponies // by Kitsulestia //------------------------------// *Twilight's POV* After securing the Equestria Games at the Crystal Empire and after Lillian had her first pup, a boy named Hunter, I had received a book containing an unfinished spell. I read the words out loud, not realizing that I had accidentally caused cutie marks to be swapped about. The next morning, I met up with Rainbow Dash, Pinkie, Applejack, Rarity and Fluttershy, who seem worried for some reason. Much to my shock, Diamond Tiara had wings all of a sudden! Diamond asks "What is going on?!" Crosswind spoke "That's what Ah want ta know." Then we heard a crash. Crosswind spoke "Ah bet that was Blizzardstar's doin'." “I don’t know. Something weird is going on.” I noted. OC-verse Danyelle had her head stuck in a tree. OC-Verse Danyelle spoke "*Muffled* Little help, please!" Danyelle pulled her counterpart by the tails, freeing the hybrid. OC-Verse Danyelle spoke "Thanks." Danyelle asks "What happened?" OC-Verse Danyelle spoke "Man… You won’t believe what happened." Danyelle asks "Let me guess, all kinds of crazy things happened?" OC-Verse Danyelle spoke "Yep." Danyelle spoke "As you can see... My cutie mark is on Sunset's flanks for some reason while I have Starlight's mark..." OC-verse Danyelle spoke "I don’t think it’s just that." Spottedleaf spoke "I don't have a cutie mark though but my affinity is water for some weird reason." Vera appeared. “Yeah, there’s a bit of a mix-up.” A half frozen Flowerstep groans "Y-you th-think?" Vera spoke "But it’s bigger than I thought." Little did I know, I had another foal on the way. Spottedleaf spoke "We need to find the others." I spoke "Right." Flash spoke "Hi Twi-Star." “Hey babe-huh?” I started to greet before I noticed something off about him. To my shock, there was a horn on Flash's head. Flash asks "What?" I faint with a big grin on my face. Flash asks "Was it something I said?" Danyelle spoke "Nah, it was more like something on your head." Flash asks "My head?" Rainbow Dash spoke "Yeah, you have a horn on your head." Danyelle cuffs Rainbow on the head. Hunter yips while playing with his older half-sister's tail. Diamond Tiara spoke "Aww!!!" Rainbow spoke "Heh, cute." But then a familiar scooter and wagon crashed. Quick yelps when he had careened into a tree, getting his head stuck in the trunk. Scootaloo, Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle groaned from the impact of the crash. Seashell was flopping about since her fishbowl was broken. Seashell asks "A little help?" Spottedleaf's claws glow as Seashell was moved to a barrel of water. Seashell spoke "Thanks." Sugar Song had her head stuck in a tree. Rainbow Dash asks "Why am I feeling a chill run down my spine?" *After I had gotten the cutie marks straightened out* I spoke "I know how to fix the spell! Come on!" *At the library,* I spoke "I might have figured out how the spell actually works. If my calculations are right, this modified version requires all three kinds of pony magic." *once my friends and I were in position,* The rest of the Mane Six and I spoke in unison. "From one to another, another to one. A mark of one's destiny singled out alone, UNfulfilled. From all of us together, to each of us together. With the marks of our destinies made one and one shared by all without end!" The magic surge was so great that it had turned Blizzardstar, Crosswind, Flowerstep, Spottedleaf, Frostleaf, both Danyelles, Vincent, Lan, Roll, Maylu, Scorching, Snowfall, Nyx, Akari, Strawberry, Bold, Mint, Zakuro, Tidefur, Mistheart, Heatwave, Nightshade, Seashell, Silverstorm, Appleseed, Hawkbreeze, Snowfire, Igneel, Amethyst, Grandeeny, Haru, Hiromi, Apollo, Yuki, Lune, Muta, Toto, Natsu, Lucy, Wendy, Erza and Jellal immortal as my friends and I all became immortal alicorns. Rainbow Dash asks "Whoa… What in the what?!" Applejack spoke "Land's sake Rainbow, ya got a horn!" A pair of orange wings were on Applejack's back as a horn in the same color was poking out from under her hat. Pinkie spoke "Wowee! Look at the six of us, girls! We’re Princesses of Harmony!" Spottedleaf yowls "STARCLAN HAVE MERCY ON US ALL!!!" Fluttershy asks "Umm… Everyone?" Rarity spoke "Goodness, you have a horn as well Fluttershy." Fluttershy spoke "I-I know. But I don’t think we’re the only ones affected." Wendy spoke "Not all of MeadowClan had been affected." Fluttershy spoke "Um… I mean…" I spoke "It seems like Blizzardstar, Crosswind, Flowerstep, Spottedleaf, Frostleaf, both Danyelles, Vincent, Lan, Roll, Maylu, Scorching, Snowfall, Nyx, Akari, Strawberry, Bold, Mint, Zakuro, Tidefur, Mistheart, Heatwave, Nightshade, Seashell, Silverstorm, Appleseed, Hawkbreeze, Snowfire, Igneel, Amethyst, Grandeeny, Haru, Hiromi, Apollo, Yuki, Lune, Muta, Toto, Natsu, Lucy, Wendy, Yellowfang, Blaze, Fireclaw, Featherwhisker, Orchid, Cozy, Filthy Rich, Hunter, Lillian, Erza and Jellal had also been affected by that magic surge..." Fluttershy spoke "I-I felt that too, but…" Danyelle's claws were glowing with magic for some reason. Lan asks "*upside down* Can SOMEONE help me out?" Scootaloo spoke "Ugh… I got a splitting headache…" Applebloom spoke "Ooh… Same here…" Sweetie spoke "Ow… My back’s itchy for some reason…" Sugar spoke "I have such a headache..." A small nub of a horn was on Cozy's forehead. I spoke "Uh guys, here comes Celestia and Luna now..." Spottedleaf sighs "Oh boy…" Silver Spoon showed up. “Diamond?” Diamond spoke "By the Maker's mane, you have wings! And a horn!" Silver asks "Wait-what?!" Vera showed up and looked around. “Nope, no giant long green dragon here.” Celestia giggles "Goodness! With this many new alicorns, we might have to start the search sooner. Right Luna?" Luna spoke "Indeed, especially with the three original crusaders being alicorns now." Applebloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle ask "Huh?!" Sugar spoke "Make that four blank flank alicorns and a two tailed alicorn. I don't think Ms. Cheerilee can handle that much destruction." Celestia spoke "*Giggle!* I wouldn’t really underestimate Ms. Cheerilee." Pandora showed up. “*Giggle!* Yeah, she handled a lot more than that.” Celestia and Pandora giggled again, which was kinda unnerving for us except Luna and Vera. Rainbow groans "Total bummer! There goes my dreams of being a Wonderbolt." Vera spoke "Whoa-whoa-whoa, slow down! You’re still a Wonderbolt trainee, so who says you can’t be a Wonderbolt and a Princess at the same time? Ya don’t have to be just one creature." To our surprise, Celestia, Luna and Pandora nodded their heads in agreement at that. Rainbow spoke "And risk hurting Spitfire and the other Wonderbolts? Absolutely not! Just look at Spottedleaf, she had to practice solo since she's half alicorn." But… Vera has a really good point. Rainbow asks "I'm a lot faster than I was before the ascension so my dreams got shattered... Think about it girls and guys, do you see Celestia or Luna flying anywhere with their guards?" Various murmurs followed by at least one or two "No." were heard. Rainbow spoke "Exactly, their wing strength is rather high and they don't want to risk hurting the guards." Bramblestar spoke "Rainbow Dash, you’re lying to yourself. You’re trapped with what you are, and what you want to be." Applejack wingslaps Rainbow on the back of the head. *Meanwhile in the Crystal Empire* Shining was yawning as he got out of bed before heading to the washroom. Shining soon sneezes, causing a pair of white wings to flare out. Shining screams "CADENCE!!!!!" Cadence woke up groggily due to the scream. Shining was freaking out. Cadence trailed off as she saw Shining’s new form before she fainted with a HUGE blush, long eyes and a lust-driven smile on her face. Flurry was confused. *Back at Ponyville with us* Rainbow Dash was still gloomy. Scootaloo asks "Rainbow?" Rainbow Dash said nothing as her ears were droopy. Bold spoke "Momma, cheer up." Rainbow Dash was still silent at that as Lightning dust showed up and wingslapped Rainbow Dash at the back of the head. “Snap out of it, Crash! You’re the leader pony of this Wonderbolt trainee duo, so act like one and set a good example! The Rainbow Dash I know wouldn’t let anything stop her from protecting her friends and achieving her dream! You never gave up back then, why start now?!” Rainbow Dash’s eyes widened at that, realizing that Lightning Dust was absolutely right, before she started silently crying tears, making Dust worry if she took that too far. I spoke "Uh Lightning Dust, you might want to look in a mirror..." Lightning Dust asks "What now?" A light turquoise horn was on Lightning's forehead. Not to mention Lightning’s wings were a bit bigger too. “Whoa! Awesome!” Spottedleaf teleported before reappearing with five Ornithians and a flying ship. Spottedleaf spoke "Rainbow, meet five members of your new guard." Rainbow Dash asks "What the?" Scootaloo spoke "That was quick!" Spottedleaf giggles "My magic's gotten better." Celaeno spoke "So, you're one of them new princesses huh? Well, color me impressed." Rainbow Dash asks "…Really?" Squabble squawks in agreement. I ask "Celestia, do you think there could be other alicorns out there?" Celestia giggles "Who knows for certain." Rainbow Dash spoke "…Ya know what, Lightning Dust’s right! I can’t just give up on my dream! I’m gonna be both a princess and a Wonderbolt!" Lightning Dust spoke "Aw yeah!" The two mares hoof-bumped with a newfound determination at that as Celestia, Luna, Vera and Pandora smiled at the new friendship between rivals. Danyelle spoke "How about this then Dash? Since you and Dusty are faster now, you two could be the first two Firebolts!" Rainbow Dash and Lightning Dust laugh "…Say what now? Jinx! Double jinx! Stop doing that!" The two speedster mares glared at each other before they fell down in laughter. The others all laugh as well. *After the Coronation Gala* Celestia spoke "It's up to you six and your fellow immortals to find and ascend any possible alicorn. Each of you will have a set of guards and a zeppelin." Luna spoke "For Rainbow and Lightning, you'll have the Wonderbolts themselves as your guards." Pyre spoke "Pinkie and Cheese will have a set of former bouncers as their guards since they are rather hyper." Noble spoke "Applejack and Crosswind will have a mixed group of guards that have rough backgrounds. Rarity and Blizzardstar will have a set of plainclothes guards. Fluttershy and Flowerstep will have guards that are good with animals. Twilight and Flash, you two and your daughters will also have a set of guards with Sunset Shimmer as captain." Sunset smiled and whispered to me, “Now I’ll be able to get to know you better, as a friend.” I couldn’t help but smile at that. Celestia spoke "As for Princess Spottedleaf, she has four hippogriff guards courtesy of Queen Novo." The red female spoke "My name is Coral. The brown male is my husband, Typhoon." A pink hippogriff spoke "I'm Ripple." A slate gray-blue hippogriff spoke "And I'm Breeze." Seashell was frozen stiff in shock for some reason. Nightshade asks "Shell? You okay?" Coral and Typhoon seem to have frozen stiff too. Seashell stammers "M-mommy... D-daddy..." Typhoon spoke "Seashell…" Coral spoke "Our sweet daughter…" Celestia spoke "*ahem* Since Blizzardstar will be away from Ponyville for some time, I hereby select Card Trick to be in charge of MeadowClan." Seashell was crying. Card Trick asks "Um, are you sure about that?" Seashell flopped towards Typhoon and Coral as she hugged them, with them hugging her back with tears as well. Blizzardstar spoke "I don't know when I'll be back though." Danyelle spoke "I'm not crying, you're crying Pinkie-chan!" Pinkie spoke "No, you are Dany!" I couldn’t but smile as Danyelle and Pinkie were both hugging each other while crying waterfalls. I ask "So it's all agreed then?" The other immortals nod in agreement. I spoke "I made up lists of places where you want to go. But please, keep the meeting places the same." End
