Hey guys, I was debating whether or not I'd want to share this new story with you. I was considering making it a Deviantart only story, but I figured... why not? I haven't written anything for the fanfiction site for a while, the least I can do is show that, yes, I am indeed still alive. Anyway, it's been a while since I did a Milo Murphy's Law story, and this was a prize story for a friend, and I figured 'why not share it with all of you'? There are some things to keep in mind, the first chapter is going to be a bit... well, it'll be part creepy, part funny, but considering who Derek is, I figured that would be the main idea. Also, I don't normally do transformation stories, but for this friend, I made an exception to the rule!
So, let's get this show on the road, shall we? Anyway, enjoy!
Melissa panted a bit as she found a good hiding place behind the abandoned game stand. She couldn't help but take a small peek behind to see the chaos that had went on... from the various Dakotas that were battling Pistachions, to the Fireside Girls doing their best to help from the sidelines as best as they could, to even the large Milo Murphy machine stomping around, being controlled by Phineas, Ferb and Milo respectively to help send some Murphy's Law the Pistachion's way. She had to admit, this was quite the strange, yet very interesting month she had.
She had just recently ran with Cavendish, Dakota, a man named Orton Mahlson, who she felt like she knew, but something had blinked in her memory (which made sense, since there had been time travel shenanigans involved), and finally, one of her friends, Zack Underwood, who had just managed to escape from the clutches of a very giant Pistachion that had recently came out of the sewers... well, it was less they escaped from the clutches and more the giant Pistachion noticed the violence and changed its ways, walking away from the battle that was going on. And of course, they managed to run off while Derek had once again, kept ranting. However, as they ran, they found themselves split up, with Zack heading in one direction in hopes to get an attack on the Pistachions to help some civilians escape, Cavendish, Dakota and Orton ran in another direction to see what they could do to help, and Melissa was hiding behind the stand, surveying the area.
"Hmmm..." Melissa paused as she tried to rattle her brains, trying to think of a situation. So far, it seemed that Milo, Phineas and Ferb were really doing some great work with the robot, but even she wondered how long it would last. "If only I can do something to help..."
She paused as she tried to look around, trying to think hard of a plan... when all of a sudden, a shadow loomed over the orange haired girl. Melissa blinked twice, but before she could turn her head around, a plant hand covered her mouth as the other arm snaked around the girl's midsection, turning itself into a vine, wrapping itself around the girl with ease.
"Well, well, well, I didn't think I'd get someone back that easily." A dark voice chuckled as Melissa used her eyes to look up. Derek, the newest Pistachion leader, gave a small chuckle as he put the girl over her shoulder, the vines from his right hand still tied around her. "Word of advice, little missy. You need to pick better hiding places, or at least places where your orange hair doesn't stand from the crowd."
Melissa narrowed her eyes in anger as she tried to struggle. "You little- let me go, you nut!"
Derek could only give a small laugh as Melissa stopped herself in shock, before giving a small groan, saying, "I realize now that you'd consider 'nut' a compliment."
"Yes, because pistachio IS a type of nut, I get the joke." Derek chuckled to himself darkly.
"Well, it doesn't matter! I still have my friends out there, and..." Melissa started to talk when she noticed that Zack was now being carried by another Pistachion, tied up once again. "...seriously, Zack?"
"Hey, you can't blame me for trying!" Zack sighed. "It's like these Pistachions have a sixth sense or something."
Derek frowned as he looked towards the struggling Melissa as he put her down, with Melissa narrowing her eyes at the large nut creature. "Oh, don't look so angry. Besides, being a Pistachion won't be so bad. Why, you'll get the chance to be immortal, you won't have to eat much, and best of all, it's saving the environment."
"Well, that's only your opinion!" Melissa scoffed. "Besides, we still have a lot of people out there fighting!"
"Yeah! Like those Fireside Girls that came in, looks like they were determined to stop you!" Zack said in confidence. "I bet right now they're-"
"I wouldn't get your hopes up." Derek crossed his arms as he smugly pointed to the right. Melissa and Zack looked over to see most of the Pistachions capturing the girls and tying them up to their transformed vine hands. Melissa could only give a glare to Zack, who returned it with a sheepish smile.
"Anyway, your little moment of rebellion is about to be over soon... as soon as the M.U.L.C.H. activates, I'm going to proceed with the plan... and you know..." Derek chuckled to himself as he looked over at Melissa. "I think you'd be a perfect test subject."
Melissa narrowed her eyes at the tall Pistachion before her. "So what, you think this machine will just work like that? You're going to make me a human guinea pig for your little science experiment?"
"As a matter of fact, yes. Yes, I am." Derek said rather bluntly.
"NO!" Zack gasped as he tried to struggle out of the vines, only for the Pistachion guards to grab tightly to him. Derek lowered his head towards Melissa's as he looked her over, giving a small grin.
"I have to admit, for a mere human, you do have some... rather good looks. I'd LOVE to see how you turn out as a Pistachion, my dear." Derek chuckled to himself before turning towards the machine. "How much longer until we get the machine up and running?"
"We're almost there! Just need to jiggle this wire." One of the Pistachion workers said as he used a hand to jiggle a wire from within the working of the MULCH-er. That seemed to do it as the machine activated, a green glow emitting from the MULCH-er's laser point.
Derek smirked as he turned towards Melissa and leaned down towards her. "Well, I would say that it's a shame I'd have to change this sweet body of yours... but if this works, you'll come out of it looking even better than before."
Melissa couldn't help but note that Derek's face looked rather close to hers as he casually sniffed her hair, narrowing her eyes as she spat in his face. "CREEP!"
Derek recoiled back before rubbing his face. "Well... I hope you enjoyed that final moment of defiance while you can... because it'll be your last!"
Melissa growled as she tried to struggle out of her ropes, before Derek turned his head. "Blast her!"
With that, the MULCH-er activated the laser and engulfed Melissa in a green light, making Melissa scream as she felt the effects of the laser, causing her to fall down. When the glow of the green light came off, Melissa groaned as she rubbed her head. She then looked at herself, noticing she had been freed from her ropes. And she still looked human. She then looked over towards Derek with a smirk, with the tall nut person looking rather confused at first, before noting a small change. "Don't get too overconfident, my dear. I think the transformation has just started."
Melissa blinked as she looked down... and gasped as she noticed her hands were slowly beginning to morph into that of a brown stub like plant trunks. "Wh-what's happening to me?"
"Don't worry, sweetheart. Just let it flow..." Derek said with a grin as people were watching in pure horror at the reactions Melissa was experiencing.
Melissa yelped as she felt her arms starting to slowly morph into a brown tree trunk like being, with her legs also morphing themselves into brown tree trunks, with her pink shoes and socks being quickly ripped apart and destroyed by Melissa's now morphed feet. Leaves started to form in the girl's hair as Melissa clutched her stomach, feeling a change from the outside as she felt her black shirt ripping itself a bit to adjust itself to its new transformation. She could swear that she heard her underclothes also being ripped apart as they fell down, with the tree trunk legs piercing and ripping a bit of Melissa's pink skirt.
Melissa held her head in horror as she tried to shake her head, realizing the nightmare she was in. But as the leaves grew on her elbows and a green body formed itself from underneath Melissa, she felt her head slowly beginning to morph next as she shut her eyes, giving a loud scream as it started to turn a pistachio shade of green. Pretty soon, the girl found herself as green all over as she opened her eyes, which were now a blood red. Her teeth had also transformed a bit to look more razor sharp.
"Melissa..." Zack said in pure shock as everyone looked in horror at the new girl before her as she examined her new body.
Derek paused in delight as he gave a smirk. "Well, how about that? You look quite dashing my dear, even as a Pistachion. Of course, I don't see a shell on your head, but... not to worry, it'll grow soon enough..."
The Pistachion leader then turned towards the one in charge of the laser as he gave a frown. "Okay, we know it works. Now, set the laser to 'Fast' so we can continue on our way."
"Yes, sir!" One of the Pistachions said as he adjusted a button on the machine.
Zack gave a loud growl as Derek turned to him. "Don't worry. You'll be joining up with the others soon enough."
Derek paused as he looked over towards Melissa as she was giving a low growl, looking at herself and looking up towards him as he approached her. "Now... who's in charge of the Earth?"
"We Pistachions are, my lord." Melissa said, still in her same voice, but having a more monstrous tone to it.
"Good girl..." Derek grinned before patting her on the head, before giving a call. "Okay, let's get a move on. Who's our next subject?"
For those who know the story, of course, things were not as bad as they were. Things eventually did work out, Milo, Phineas and Ferb managed to destroy the MULCH-er, but most everyone had been turned into Pistachions at that rate, and it's thanks to Doofenshmirtz reminding himself to read Orton's memoirs in the future where he as Professor Time came in from the future and took Orton back with him to the past to destroy Derek once and for all. As expected, time was going back to normal, the Pistachions disappearing one by one, and the humans that had turned into Pistachions were slowly going back to humans the same way they once were.
"What happened?" Zack groaned as he rubbed his head and looked around. "Man, that was such a crazy ride, but it looks like Milo, Phineas and Ferb did it. Everything is back to normal."
Zack gave a smile, before turning his head... before jumping backwards. "Whoa! Melissa?"
Melissa looked around, just as confused, but still narrowing her eyes as she looked over to Zack. "Where did Lord Derek go?"
"Wait, why are you still a..." Zack started to ask, before his eyes widened. "Unless... you were the only human turned Pistachion who went through a slow transformation. The rest of us got fast transformations and..."
Zack yelped as a vine snaked around his neck, causing him to choke. He saw the look of the Pistachion-Melissa's angry eyes as she gave a small growl. Zack gave a small gulp as he choked out his words, "Oh, this is trouble..."
With that, the first chapter is completed! How did you guys like it? And yes, I am aware that I made Derek a bit... well, creepy towards Melissa, but like I said in the beginning, that was the point of this, making this more creepy than before. Don't worry, this creepiness is just for this chapter. The rest will be a fun story, promise! Next time, we'll be focusing on why Melissa is still a Pistachion, and if there's going to be a way to reverse it! Anyway, read, review, criticize and suggest, folks!
