The change was amazing. All they could do was watch as a strange light slowly crept over their bodies, leaving behind something completely new. They were astounded at the outcome. After it finished, all they could do was stare at each other, that is until Natsu burst out laughing.
"Gray, you have dog ears! On your head! This is the best day of my life! You look like a giant puppy!", Natsu was nearly doubled over in laughter. Erza, Gray, and Lucy could only watch in shocked silence as Natsu cried of laughing so hard. Finally, Gray got it into his head that Natsu was insulting him. He growled, and roared, "Well if ears are so funny, how about horns! Huh! How about that!"
And with that, Gray and Natsu began one of their famed brawls. In that time, Erza took the time to contact the Master to tell him what they were doing. Lucy decided to take a look at the costumes. She was wearing a sleeveless, light golden colored body suit. Around her waist was an ornate, darker gold colored, belt. On the belt was a whip, with a golden colored handle, and a string made out of what looked, and felt, like air. She had a pair of winged, golden sandals on her feet that were the same shade as her belt. On her face, she had a mask that was the same color. The most spectacular part of the outfit, though, was probably the small golden wings extending from her back, which looked a lot like Happy's Aera Magic. There was a small pouch on her belt as well, and when she looked inside, her key was there. The key appeared to now have two golden wings sticking up from where it had been broken.
Erza looked very different. Her gauntlets, as promised, had been transformed into a pair of leather looking, fingerless gloves. She too had a belt, and it was made of the same materials as her gloves. Strapped to it were two swords. They were made of a strange type of brown metal that Lucy had never seen before. She too had on a bodysuit, but her's had sleeves. Covering her back, there were some smallish brown quills. Erza had on a brown breastplate over her chest. On her face, there was a brown mask.
Gray seemed to be based on a wolf. He, as Natsu had stated earlier, had a pair of white wolf ears poking out of his hair. He also had a bushy, white tail connected to a belt. The belt was a simple white strip of material that seemed to only be there to support the tail. His necklace had taken on an ice-like look. On his face, there was a light ice blue colored mask, and he was wearing a bodysuit of the same shade. He was wearing white boots and gloves, and the end of the fabric was a snowflake pattern. He had a long white staff that appeared to be radiating frost. He looked to be using it to shoot spikes of ice at Natsu.
Natsu's costume, on the other hand, appeared to be based on fire. On his head, there was a pair of curled red horns. He had a mask on that was decorated with a red scale pattern. He too had a bodysuit on and had the same pattern as the mask. He had knee-high dark red boots, that instead of having a scale pattern, were actually covered in real scales, as were the gloves. The gloves were clawed. His scarf had turned red, and wrapped around his neck to his back, and took the shape of a pair of gigantic, draconian, wings. He had a long, dragon-like tail. It looked like he had a small box of matches on his waist, in a pocket of his suit. He appeared to be throwing them at Gray, where they would then explode and regenerate into the pouch as he threw them. Happy had taken the form of a human-sized red dragon and looked like a miniature Igneel. He was flying Natsu as he fought with Gray.
"Enough!", Lucy screeched, as she used her whip to send a powerful blast of air at Gray and Natsu. "We have things to discuss! Now come down here and de-transform! There's no time to be messing around!"
The boys took one glance at her and turned back to their normal selves in an instant. Happy mumbled under his breath something about scary and Lucy. Lucy glared at him, before turning to Erza, who nodded, and they turned back as well.
"Alright", said Erza, "now that we're all here, let's discuss a few things before going through the portal. I've figured out that if you use your powers too much in this form, that you will turn back to normal. There will be a beeping noise, and after three, we will de-transform. We must not let our identities be revealed, ever to the other Miraculous holders. We also have to choose superhero names. They have to be very descriptive of your Miraculous, like Ladybug, or Chat Noir. I have taken the liberty to have found a few choices for each of us so that none of us choose anything too complicated. Natsu, you may choose between Red Dragon and Fire Dragon. Happy, if you wish, you may keep your name. Lucy, you may choose between Gold Dove and Sky Bird. Gray, you may choose between Arctic Wolf and Ice Wolf. I have chosen to call myself Porcupine."
Gray spoke first,"Erza, I would like to be called Ice Wolf. Perhaps we should practice calling each other by our hero names, so we don't slip up with people watching."
"That's a good idea. Hey Erza, I was wondering if instead of Gold Dove or Sky Bird, if I could call myself Gold Bird?", asked Lucy.
Erza responded with a smile,"I think that both of those ideas are good. Of course."
Natsu spoke next. "Well I wanna be called Fire Dragon! And Happy, I think that you should keep your name, it would be easier to remember in the middle of a fight."
"Aye Sir!", Happy replied joyfully.
"Alright, now everyone transform, and let's go through the portal!", Allda cheered.
"WINGS OUT!"
"SCALES ON!"
"FURR OUT!"
"QUILLS ON!"
And with that, they jumped through the portal.
It was a peaceful night in Paris. That is until a giant portal opened up in the sky, and what looked like four people and a dragon tumbled out. Ladybug heard a muted yell from one of the people. She could only make out a few words, but it was enough to confuse her. Suddenly, it seemed like one of the figures pulled something from their waist, and suddenly they were all floating, hovering in mid-air.
Ladybug sensed Chat Noir's sharp intake of breath, and heard him mumble to himself, "Akumas?", before running over to where the people, and dragon, were hovering. She ran after him.
When they got closer, they saw one of the people, who had spikes across their back, pull out a sword, and point it at the ground. Suddenly, a large clump of Earth rose in the air. The person climbed on to it, and floated on to a nearby rooftop, replacing the clump as they stepped on to the roof. The person then called to the others, they could hear them clearly now, "Ice Wolf, Gold Bird, Fire Dragon, Happy, come down here now!"
The voice was commanding, and definitely female, and her comrades came down to the roof near instantly. One person stepped on to the dragon, while the other to floated down. As they touched the roof, the person who had pulled out the thing from their waist, seemed to reattach it there. The dragon man stepped off the dragon, and on to the roof. The dragon stayed flying in the air at the command of the girl, wisely, because if it too had stepped on to the roof, it was likely it would have caved.
They could now make out the people from where they were standing. The person who had pocketed the item making them float was a girl, with a golden outfit, seemingly based on a bird. If they had to guess, she was the Gold Bird that the first girl had been talking about. The second person was a man. He was dressed in light blue and white and seeing as he had ears and a tail, he was probably Ice Wolf. The man who had ridden the dragon appeared to be Fire Dragon, for obvious reasoning. Seeing as the first girl would most likely not talk to herself in the third person, they could only assume that the dragon was Happy.
Gold Bird spoke first,"Porcupine, now that we're here, what should we do? Should we find the turtle miraculous holder, or should we wait here, or find Ladybug and Chat Noir?"
So her name was Porcupine. Porcupine replied in a knowing manner. "I think, that if we are to get anywhere in this world, we would have to go to Master Fu, which is the turtle Miraculous holder's name. He holds information that we need to live in this world, and his Kwami, Wayzz, would remember our Kwamis."
Ice Wolf nodded, "Alright, let's go."
And with that, they took off, apparently towards Master Fu's. All of a sudden, Fire Dragon cried out, "Stop! Were being followed!"
Ice Wolf asked, "And you would know that how?
"With my nose!", Fire Dragon cried out, irritated.
And with that, they started to fight, and while Ladybug and Chat Noir didn't know it, it was for the second time that day.
While they fought, Erza and Lucy took the time to figure out who was following them. Lucy raised her whip, and swung it in circles, which created a miniature tornado, and didn't desist until she heard a small yelp, coming from the shadows on the building over. She then glanced over and was not surprised to see two more people, one in a catsuit, and one in a Ladybug suit. Lucy raised her eyebrow at them, and asked,"How long are you gonna sit in the shadows?"
The two Parisian heroes stepped out of the shadows. Natsu and Gray stopped fighting for a split second, long enough for Natsu to yell out,"I told you people were following us!"
Gray, taking that as an insult, yelled back to Natsu, "I never said there wasn't!"
So they continued fighting, much to the annoyance of Lucy and Erza. Ladybug, being confused, asked, "Why are they fighting? Aren't they on the same team?"
Lucy smiled fondly. "We are all on the same team, but Na-Fire Dragon and Ice Wolf tend to fight a lot, because of the fact that their Miraculouses represent fire and ice. They really do care for each other, though."
Ladybug smiled as well. "In that case, I take it that you are not akumatized? I know I shouldn't be trusting you so easily, but Hawk Moth has never akumatized more than one person at a time before, and if he did, I doubt they would fight each other."
"Well, thank you for that. By your costumes and the fact that you're up on the rooftops in the middle of the night, I assume you two are Ladybug and Chat Noir?", Erza asked.
"We are. May I ask your names?", asked Ladybug.
Lucy stepped in, and said, "Oh, sorry about that! I'm Gold Bird, she is Porcupine, and the two fighting are Ice Wolf, Fire Dragon, and the dragon is Happy. Each of us represents a different element. I'm air, Porcupine is earth, Ice Wolf is ice, and Fire Dragon is fire."
"What was that giant portal in the sky?", Ladybug questioned. Erza answered sheepishly, "That was the portal we used to get here. We were trying to come inconspicuously, but it accidentally opened right over the city, and, well you know the rest."
Lucy had to hand it to her. She was a good actor when it wasn't in front of a crowd. Unfortunately for them, Ladybug decided to question them further. "Where did you come from? How did you even make the portal?"
Erza sighed, and said, "Sorry, but our Kwamis told us not to tell anyone anything about ourselves than what was absolutely necessary. Before you ask, the reason we came here was that a powerful and ancient artifact from the place we've come from has fallen into the hands of Hawk Moth, making him even more powerful than before. We ourselves are not even sure what it is, but we have sensed it here, and help."
Ladybug grinned, "Well then, nice to meet you!"
At that time, Chat Noir had been talking with Natsu and Gray. He hadn't been questioning them, but rather just getting to know them. They fought a little, which resulted in Gray and Chat Noir ganging up against Natsu, and then declaring peace once he was defeated. They had instantly bonded and were upset when the girls had decided it was time to leave.
