GammaTron: *hiding in a vase* Shhh...We're hiding from Z0 for this special side story we're writing on April Fools Day. You think that sister from the Loud House is insane on April Fools Day, try Z0 for a change. She learned from him. *goes back into hiding*
SZ: *pokes out of TV*eeyup...we got lots of funny stuff planned for this chapter so...we hope you enjoy and in advance...we own nothing aside from original content...oh and real quick...this takes place after our current arc in GSE.
Z0: Hahahahahaha~ *glowing eyes form in the ceiling glaring down at the others, followed by a mad fanged smile* The day of chaos has come, the equinox between joy and torment has unleashed my truest form!
"Ahh…" Ben yawned as he woke up, rubbing his eyes as he quickly hopped out of bed, "Man...what a night last night…" he scratched the side of his head, his eyes still shut, as he made his way to the bathroom, "Still, it was pretty nice to have a day off. Just me, my pals...and most importantly, my…huh?" he muttered before tapping his chest, "...Why do I feel light?...Kajun, did y-" he began before he finally opened his eyes and saw his reflection, "..."
"WHAT THE HECK?!" both Ben and Makoto's voices screamed.
"Why am I Ben?!" Ben exclaimed in shock, his eyes the same color as Makoto's, "I swear if Kajun's behind this...Ohohoh~! Oh she is in for a BIG pranking day!"
*CRASH!*
"Oh geez…!" Makoto's voice exclaimed, prompting 'Ben' to rush out of his room...and saw Makoto-with the same color eyes as his-standing in a destroyed doorway, or rather, leaning on the ruined door frame, "Ahh...Makoto's gonna be so mad…"
"...Ben?!" 'Ben' gawked, prompting 'Makoto' to look at 'him.'
"...BABE?!" 'Makoto' gawked, 'his' ears and tail sticking up in surprise before 'he' fell over, "Gah! Oof..."
"Balance in the key," 'Ben' noted, helping 'him' up, "Don't you normally have aliens with tails?"
"Not many of them have tails," 'Makoto' replied, "...Skurd…"
"I had absolutely nothing to do with this," Skurd informed quickly, "Haven't found a genetic sample of that in here yet."
"...is Kajun behind this?" both asked.
"That could be," Skurd replied, "Onwards to the lavender haired mad scientist in training!"
"Eh, it looks a bit more periwinkle to me," 'Ben' noted as the two held each other to help 'Makoto' from falling over again.
"I'm shocked you're able to handle walking normally like that," 'Makoto' noted.
"It was a bit of a crazy week for us in the academy. Each of us dared the others to do something for a week like Tsubaki couldn't talk to Jin or look at him for it or Kajun had to stay away from anything science. I had to tie my tail to my back for it," 'Ben' explained, "Noellie and Mai both caved in during the first ten minutes because of lack of poetry and plushies or lack of Noel's cooking respectively."
"...Yeah, that makes sense…" 'Makoto' whispered, passing by the other bathroom before they heard Mai choke and gag in it, "Mai?"
"Argh! Ack! Ptui! What was that!?" Mai exclaimed as she opened the door, revealing her eyes to be brown with the white replaced with yellow, "I attempted to perform my morning brushing only to be assaulted by images and noises the moment I began!"
"...Rook?" the two questioned.
"Hmm?" 'Mai' blinked before 'she' noticed the two...and saw their eyes, "...Ben? Makoto? Are you two wearing colored contacts?"
"No," 'Ben' replied, "And you may wanna look in the mirror."
"What?" 'Mai' pondered, turning around and screaming, "WHAT IS GOING ON!?"
"What's going on?" Rook's voice asked in a yawn, making the three turn to see his body approach, scratching his stomach with eyes closed, "What's the screaming about?"
"...Okay, contradictions coming from Rook's mouth is weird," 'Ben' admitted.
"Uh...Mai?" 'Makoto' asked.
"What?" 'Rook' asked, opening his eyes to reveal them to be a pair of familiar magenta eyes...that were looking at 'Mai,' "...What's going on here? Ben, did you unlock a new alien or something?"
"He has not, nor have I found one that can do this in the Omnitrix," Skurd replied.
"...Oh….I see," 'Rook' noted as 'he' looked 'himself' over...and then fainted.
"...Is Kajun somehow behind this?" 'Mai' questioned.
"That's what we wanna know!" 'Ben' exclaimed.
"Okay...Since it seems no one else is awake yet...Skurd, let it rip," 'Makoto' ordered.
"Oh goody," Skurd chuckled before Echo-Echo's mouth formed on him and let out a large siren-like noise.
"GYAH!" 'Makoto' yelped, falling over while grabbing 'her' ears and devolving into a series of swears.
"Forgot that, huh?" 'Ben' deadpanned.
"A GODDAMN LOT!" 'Makoto' snapped.
"KEEP THAT DOWN!" Noel snapped as she forced the door open...her eyes showing that they were similar to a certain mercenary/deputy of Undertown.
"...And another adds on," 'Mai' noted.
"Huh? The hell are you talkin' about? ...Wait a sec...What the hell are you doing here?!" 'Noel' snapped, "...Wait. Why does my chest feel lighter?" she patted her chest, "...The fuck did ya do to my boobs?!" she looked down, "Who the fuck put me in goddamn corgi footy pajamas?!"
"What's going on out here?" Tsubaki asked as she walked out of her room, "It's too early for this…"
"...Tsubaki, are you….you?" 'Ben' cautiously asked as 'Noel' stood there with a twitchy eye.
"Excuse you?" Tsubaki blinked at that as she turned to look at 'him'...before she noticed 'his' eyes, "...Makoto?"
"Yes!" 'Ben' replied, "Our bodies got flipped and Noellie's been swapped with a rude lady!"
"Oh screw you!" 'Noel' barked.
"...So that's Ben," Tsubaki stated, pointing at the still downed, swearing Beastkin.
"Yes, that is him and I am Rook," 'Mai' informed.
"Ah...I see…" Tsubaki calmly nodded…
*WHACK!*
"OW~!" 'Makoto' exclaimed, holding 'her' head with a large bump.
"I swear, I will call your mother about your tongue if you don't stop and someone start explaining what happened," Tsubaki glowered.
"We don't know!" 'Makoto' answered as 'she' shot up, "I woke up to find out that I'm in my girlfriend's body, she's in mine, Mai and Rook are in each others bodies, and…" 'she' paused as 'she' looked at the glaring 'Noel', "...Noel?"
"Bullet da!" 'Noel' snapped.
"...and Ragna's deputy is in Noel's body," 'Makoto' finished before it dawned on 'her',"...Meaning Noel's in her body."
"Bullet-san, wake up please!" Celica called from the other side of Bullet's bedroom door, "I made waffles!"
"Hmm? Waffles?" Bullet blinked as she woke up, her eyes like that of Noel's and her voice sounding a bit...calm and soft, something not heard from her normally, "Good m…"
*squish*
"!" Bullet blinked a few times, the arm squished against ample bosom pausing in its movement to cover a halted yawn, "..." the hand lowered down and groped, "..." she looked down at the massive bosom spilling out around her hand, "..."
"...Bullet-san?" Celica blinked as she entered.
"I...I have breasts…" 'Bullet' whispered, seemingly unaware to anything but her chest.
"..." Celica tilted her head, "Eh?"
"Th...They're huge…" 'Bullet' whispered as a smile began to grow on her face.
"...Bullet-san? Are...you alright?" Celica asked in concern before backing up at the, admittedly, deranged giggling escaping 'Bullet,' "Okay...so not alright...I, um, I need to…" she ran out, "Ragna-san! Ragna-san! Bullet-san has snapped and it's not in her normal way!"
"What are you talking about?" Ragna raised a brow, pausing from cutting his stack of waffles, "...she didn't eat those weird peppers from space did she? I warned her not too…"
"I'M AS BUSTY AS MAKOTO AND MAI!"
"...what?" Ragna blinked, standing up as he rushed into Bullet's bedroom...seeing 'her' standing before a mirror while grasping her breasts, "...the hell are you doing?!"
"Big, firm, no sagging! So~ huge~!" She rambled, an obsessed, maniacal look in her eyes, "And they're mine, all mine! Minemineminemine…!" She gasped, "I need tiny clothes to break with these puppies!"
"..." Ragna quietly backed out and walked away, "Nope. Not getting involved. Celica, I'm going to Thrax's bar! Do not call me back unless the place is on fire!"
"Okay!" Celica waved, "Stay safe!...though…" she paused as she looked back at 'Bullet', "I'm concerned for her...where did Ragna-san put that number for Tennyson-san again?"
"KAJUN!"
"Hmm?" Kajun blinked, pausing from looking at her computer as she saw Tsubaki and the others approaching her, "Oh. Good morning, minna. How...?"
"Care to explain this?" Tsubaki asked, motioning to those that were bodyswapped.
"Is Noel alright? She seems...upset," Kajun noted.
"I feel restrictive in these clothes!" 'Noel' snapped, "...The skirt I'm somewhat okay with since I have spats underneath."
"Spats?" 'Mai' repeated.
"Spandex shorts. Not as restrictive, breathable, and they feel like my shorts before Ragna forced me to put...ugh. Pants on…"
"Oh dear...Bullet?" Kajun asked.
"YES!" 'Noel' snapped.
"...then…" Kajun paused as she looked at 'Mai', "...Rook?"
"Correct."
"...Meaning Mai…"
"Is in my body, yes," 'Mai' answered, "And Ben and Makoto are in each others' bodies."
"And Noellie is in Ms. Buttfloss' body," 'Ben' added.
"Urusei, Beastkin!" 'Noel' snapped at 'him'.
"Hey, don't make me slap ya with the tail!" 'Makoto' snapped.
"...and you're assuming I had a hand in this?" Kajun further questioned.
"YES!" everyone replied.
"Ahh….soka," Kajun noted, "Well...it is an interesting concept, but I did not do this."
"BULLSHIT!" they all snapped.
"No. I am serious," Kajun argued, "If it was me, I'd have come up with a contingency plan in case my body ended up being swapped with someone."
"Yeah w-" 'Ben' began before hs phone went off, making 'him' blink as 'he' picked it up and answered it, "Hello?"
=Tennyson-san, it's Celica. Something is...wrong with Bullet-san= Celica explained
"Oh well that's the thing...some weirdness has gone on...and that's actually Noel in Bullet's body." 'Ben' explained.
=Eh?! But she looks like Bullet-san! It's not like that body snatching movie, is it?=
"I hope not!"
=Oh! Ano...sorry, but I have to go. Bu...er...Noel-san's looking for clothes to put on=
"She better not make me wear pants!" 'Noel' snapped before tearing was heard.
=YES! IT TORE DOWN THE MIDDLE! MORE TINY SHIRTS! I NEED MORE TO BREAK WITH MY MASSIVE JUGS OF FLESHY DELIGHT! MORE~!=
"...okay. I just woke up to some shouting...what?" Jin asked in a deadpanned tone as he walked into the room.
"We've got a Freaky Friday protocol happening," Kajun replied.
"...who's body got swapped with who?"
"Noel and Bullet, Mai and Rook, and Ben and Makoto," Tsubaki answered.
"And Noellie's snapped because of Bullet's boobs," 'Ben' added.
"I...I don't think I want to get involved in this," Jin began as he tried to back out only for Tsubaki's Excalibur to block his path, "I have no say in this matter, do I?"
"No. This is honestly serious," Tsubaki stated as she quickly sheathed Excalibur, "This is either a plot by one of our enemies...or someone is playing a very cruel prank."
"Can't they just learn to adapt to their temporary bodies until this blows over?"
"No!" 'Makoto' snapped as 'she' stomped on the floor, leaving a rather sizable dent, "...I swear that wasn't intentional."
"...great. The idiot in his girlfriend's body...can't control her monster strength," Jin groaned.
"Wait...if Ben has that…" 'Ben' noted before grinning.
"Makoto, don't you…" Tsubaki began before a green flash went off and Heatblast was in his place.
"Whoa~! This is awesome!" Heatblast awed, "I'm on fire and I don't even feel it!"
"...I was wrong. This is so much worse," Jin muttered, "Tennyson, control your woman!"
"His method won't work since he's in her body," Skurd countered.
"I AM THE QUEEN OF FIRE!" Heatblast laughed.
"That's right...Makoto's one reliable method of control...no longer works."
"Uh duh...cause they're on this head." 'Makoto' argued, pointing to said ears/weak spot.
"Never fear! Skurd is here!" Skurd declared.
"Oh please, what can ya do?" Heatblast smirked...before Skurd made Water Hazard's arm grow from his shoulders and blast the Pyronite in the face...repeatedly, "Ack! Bleck! No fair!"
"Then change back!"
"...mou~ Fine," Heatblast pouted as 'he' tapped the Omnitrix, changing 'him' back into 'Ben, "You guys are no fun…"
"Well Be….er...Mako…" Kajun began before sighing, "Ok..know what? Until this situation is handled, Makoto will be referred to as M-Ben, Ben will be B-Makoto, Mai will be M-Rook, Rook will be R-Mai, and Bullet-san will be B-Noel...with Noel being N-Bullet. Is that fair?"
"That was oddly creative...and the naming scheme seems familiar…" Tsubaki muttered.
"May we continue with our current objective on finding out how this happened?" R-Mai asked.
"Good idea," Tsubaki nodded, "...but first, we may need to grab Noel before she gets too...unhinged."
"Tsubaki...this is Noel we're talking about," M-Ben argued, "I'm sure it's not that bad."
"Another shirt! I need another shirt!" N-Bullet laughed gleefully as she was going through various shirts...with the current one she was wearing tearing down the middle, "Oh! And shorts..I need shorts and mini skirts..with spats!"
"..." Celica just blinked, unsure what to really do here. "I think this extends beyond my ability to help…"
"Celica-san, I need more shirts please!" N-Bullet begged, "...oh! Let me borrow some of your shirts!"
"I don't think that's a good idea…"
"Eh why not?"
"Well for starters, I know mine won't fit," she muttered, "Secondly: Unlike Bullet-san, I buy shirts that let's just say...are of a higher price…" she listed, "Also I do not think feeding your...uhm...fantasy is healthy for you mentally speaking."
"...Fantasy?"
'Oh...I think I'm in trouble…' Celica realized, 'I don't want to upset her...and I need to keep her here as well...oh dear this is difficult...she does seem rather...well...exceptionally interested in Bullet's figure, maybe I can use that? But...how?'
"FANTASY!?" N-Bullet snapped, rushing over as she grabbed her by the shoulders, "Celica-san, this...has been my dream! I finally have big breasts like Litchi-san, Makoto-chan, and Mai-chan!"
"Y-Your dream has been for puberty to hit hard?" Celica blinked, "Well...I...I am not sure what to say here...and you are frankly starting to concern me. Well...I mean at least you're not doing something that would upset Bullet-san, like trying on pretty dresses...or swimsuits…" she rambled.
"?! Yes...yes, I forgot those! I have a figure…" N-Bullet began to giggle in rapture.
"Oops…" Celica realized.
"Oh! I should find a store that sells swimsuits based on those Dead or Alive games!" N-Bullet exclaimed in glee, "Or from Senran Kagura!" She squealed in delight, "I can finally do a successful Cosplay of Hibari-chan!"
"Oh...oh this got a lot worse…" Celica cringed, "I should probably warn the others…"
"Warn us wh-" M-Ben began as the group walked in.
"MY SHIRTS!" B-Noel exclaimed in disbelief once she saw the pile of clothes.
"Makoto-chan, Mai-chan look!" N-Bullet beamed as she hefted up her ample bosom, stars in her eyes, "I have milk jugs!"
"...She's snapped," Tsubaki cringed.
"How many euphemisms has she said?" M-Rook asked.
"I lost count after 'Fun bags of love,'" Celica replied.
"...oh dear," M-Ben whispered with wide eyes, "Noellie's gone off the deep end…"
"No guesses where she learned those," Skurd deadpanned.
"Shut up…" M-Ben complained.
"So you deny you haven't said terms like those while flaunting your own puberty given benefits? Or while grabbing those of Mai?" Skurd asked, "Which...I have many questions as to why you humans are so obsessed with those things? What is wrong with you? You know what those are meant for in nature right?"
"I need swimsuits and dresses!"
"Hell no!" B-Noel snapped, "Like hell I'm letting that happen!"
"They're my boobies now!"
"It's my body damn it!"
"Too bad, ironing board!"
"I..Ironing Board?!"
"...Noel goes to mandatory therapy after this," Tsubaki ordered.
"Agreed," M-Rook and M-Ben agreed.
"NEVER!" N-Bullet declared as she rushed out, "Swimsuits and cosplay kita~!"
"Get my ass back here!" B-Noel snapped as she gave chase.
"Welp...that's a thing I've witnessed." M-Ben muttered.
"And I thought Lambda and her pet ghost bunny was weird," B-Makoto noted.
"...ugh. We better…" Tsubaki began as a flash went off, the red-haired woman blinking a bit as her eyes were a different color, "...where am I?"
"...Uh...Tsubaki?" M-Ben asked.
"Huh? Ben? Wait...how are you here at Kevin's job?" 'Tsubaki' asked, looking around, "What's more...How did I get to Undertown?"
"...Gwen?" B-Makoto blinked.
"Yes Makoto, wh-" she began before she noticed her reflection in the full body mirror surrounded by ruined, stretched out shirts, "...AHH! What the…?!"
"It's that time with Charmcaster when we were ten all over again, minus you being in jail," B-Makoto explained.
"You were in jail?!" M-Ben gawked at G-Tsubaki.
"I was in Charmcaster's body and….wait..." G-Tsubaki began as her eye began to twitch, "...I swear if she's involved in this…!"
"Um...what were you doing before this?" R-Mai asked.
"About to kiss Kevin at his garage. Wh...ohh…"
"...cue phone call in three...two...one…" B-Makoto began as M-Ben's phone rang.
"...I'm afraid to answer it….on the fear of Tsubaki possibly killing me...or Jin...or Kevin...or all three."
"I'm not~!" Skurd replied, answering it and putting it on speaker via a FourArms hand, "Hello!"
=TENNYSON WHAT'S GOING ON?!= Kevin's voice snapped =WHY IS GWEN ACTING LIKE TSUBAKI?!=
"...long or short version?"
=Short!=
"Our bodies have been swapped, Eleven," M-Ben explained.
=...am I talking to Makoto right now?=
"Yup."
=...PFFT! Ahahahahahha! Ahh th-OW!=
=MAKOTO! CALL KAJUN FOR A GROUND BRIDGE! NOW!= T-Gwen snapped.
"Ah, Tsubaki, calm d…" G-Tsubaki began before an explosion went off on the line, "...Too late."
"Hoo boy…" M-Rook whispered in worry.
"...Kajun," B-Makoto began as they pulled their badge out, "We need a-"
=Had a feeling something was up…= Kajun sighed =Opening the Ground bridge near you=
Moments later, the Groundbridge formed and T-Gwen and a smoldering trio of Kevin, Zed, and Sena came out.
"She's...not happy," Kevin wheezed.
"No...no I am not," T-Gwen frowned
"Calm down. Your emotions are fueling accidental casting," G-Tsubaki said.
"...Ah! You're right!" T-Gwen realized as she began to take a deep breath, "Okay...okay...I should be good…"
"Please be...Luna's scared of you right now," Sena whispered as Zed coughed up some smoke in the shape of a bone.
"I'm as lost as you are," Celica assured.
"Maybe because…" Sena began before they covered their mouth, "?!"
"...okay…" Kevin began as he picked them up by their hair, "What did you do, twerp?"
"Hmm?" Luna blinked, showing she was in control at the moment, "...Luna has no idea what you mean…"
"I'll ground you and take your 3DS," Kevin warned.
"Ah, no! Luna's almost at the Fairy Gym!"
"Then talk!" Kevin snapped.
"...mmm….fine!" Luna caved in, "Luna was trying a spell she learned from Big Sis Gwen!"
"This was your fault?!" many snapped..
"At least we think so. We've been practicing on some goldfish all day," Sena replied, "But nothing has happened yet."
"When you focused on the fish...was the other one focusing on something else?" Kevin asked.
"...Luna…" Sena whispered.
"Luna pleads the fifth!"
"Didn't I say that your spells get stronger when you cast together?" G-Tsubaki asked with a sigh.
"You did…" Sena nodded, "Luna most likely got distracted when she was thinking about…"
"SHUT IT SENA!" Luna snapped, "Luna doesn't have to explain that she was thinking about the stupid boobzillas and Ragna the j...uh oh."
"YOU!" Jin snapped as he stomped in...with Ragna's eye color replacing his, "YOU LITTLE TWERP!"
"Brother! BROTHER, WHERE ARE YOU?!" Ragna's voice shouted in...a rather unsettling glee.
"Was that Jin?" R-Mai asked.
"...Luna…" Kevin began.
"Luna...may have been thinking thoughts of Jerkedge and his creepy brother," Luna admitted with a gulp.
"YOU LITTLE…!" R-Jin snarled before Ragna-with Jin's eyes- tackled him from behind, "DAMN IT JIN LET GO!"
"NEVER BROTHER!"
"FIX IT NOW DAMN IT!" R-Jin snapped as he tried to force J-Ragna off him, "This is the type of shit I didn't want to deal with!" he grabbed his body by the wrists, "Hand check, Jin! Hand Check!"
"Oh my god, I thought he was exaggerating on the insane urge for Ragna," T-Gwen whispered with wide eyes, "...Luna, fix this now."
"B-"
"NOW!" T-Gwen and G-Tsubaki snapped.
"AHH!" Luna yelped, summoning her staff and held it up, "Soul Exchange!" she declared as a bright flash went off.
"...nothing h-" Ragna began before tensing...his eyes currently that of Tsubaki's as they slowly tapped their chest, "...oh….no..."
"Sonuva…" Gwen growled...with Ragna's eyes.
"I feel like I'm freezing," Jin shivered, having Gwen's eyes.
"...Ts-Tsubaki?" Tsubaki with Jin's eyes stammered, looking at Ragna's body.
"Yes," T-Ragna replied...before gawking when J-Tsubaki collapsed as both nostrils fired streams of blood, "JIN!?"
"Probably a lot of conflicted feelings…" everyone muttered.
"I THOUGHT YOU FIXED IT!" R-Gwen snapped as 'she' glared at Luna with burning magenta eyes.
"LUNA WAS SCARED OF BIG SIS GWEN AND TSUBAKAKI!" Luna yelped.
"Tsb...WHAT?!" T-Ragna gawked.
"Kevin...are you feeling okay?" G-Jin asked Jin, who was just standing there...before getting down on all fours as his eyes opened, revealing them to be like Zed's, "...oh no…"
"Ro Rit…" Zed muttered with Kevin's eyes.
"Bwahahaha!"
"Grrr!" K-Zed growled at those who laughed.
"Okay...let us just...calm down…" T-Ragna held her hands up as she sighed, "L...let's just..figure out a way to reverse this spell…"
"...Soul Exchange...where have I heard that Spell name before?" Celica whispered to herself, "Hmm…"
"We should probably go and retrieve Noel and Bullet before even more chaos devolves," R-Mai suggested, "..like Skurd and Steel swapping bodies, or Max, Sari..or someone else we know having their body swapped."
"Weird how me and Ben haven't swapped with anyone else?" M-Ben muttered.
"I try not to think about it." B-Makoto muttered.
"But Rook's right. We should probably go find Noellie before she does something she might regret later…"
"And this! And this! And this! OOH~! Gotta get this!" N-Bullet shouted, zipping around a store filled with various swimsuits and cosplay outfits for women.
"Mmmmm…" a tied up B-Noel fumed behind her gag.
"She's fine," N-Bullet replied to the looks this raised.
"Mmm!" B-Noel snapped.
"MY BODY NOW!" N-Bullet declared before gasping, "Oooh~! A Miraculous LadyBug costume just my size!"
"MMMM!-!-!"
"I found her!" M-Ben shouted, making N-Bullet stop to see 'him' and M-Rook run into the store, "Noel Vermillion you stop this instant!"
"...no."
"You have Bullet tied up..in your body!" M-Rook argued.
"You will not deny me of my dreams!" N-Bullet declared.
"MMMMMMM!"
"This is not even funny! It's getting creepy and you are getting so much counseling after this!" M-Ben declared.
"It's getting more creepy than Tsubaki and her chocolate obsession!" M-Rook added, "So for the love of god Noel..please calm down so we can work on getting ourselves back to normal."
*BANG!*
"...no…" N-Bullet smiled sweetly, her gauntlet smoking as she cocked it again, "I think you two need to calm down…"
"..." M-Ben and M-Rook slowly looked at the large hole in the wall between them, "..."
"...Mai?"
"Yeah, Makoto?"
"RUN!"
"Ahh!" M-Rook yelped, quickly grabbing B-Noel as the two rushed out with N-Bullet hot on their tail.
"MMM!"
"She's gotten scary good with those gauntlets!" M-Ben freaked as they ducked underneath another fiery gunshot, "And did she upgrade them to shotguns?! ...Wait a second. Noel! Did you rip off Yang?!"
"You can't prove anything!" N-Bullet shouted.
"I've seen her fight, girl! You can't fool me! I know my best punny galpal's gun gauntlets when I see 'em!"
"You shall not stop me!"
"You have to return to reality eventually!"
"Not if I have anything to say about it!" N-Bullet cheered.
"You can't just bodyjack Bullet! That's wrong!" M-Rook argued.
"Watch me! I have an entire novel worth of things to do with a Feminine Fatale figure like this!"
"It sounds like you're saying Bullet was wasting her own hot body by not doing the things you plan…" M-Ben muttered, "Oh my god, you are saying that...wait...did you think the same thing about me!?"
"Viva La Oppai!"
"Sh-She's so far gone... she no longer makes sense…" M-Rook groaned.
"Wait...I might have something…" M-Ben blinked, "The only thing she could possibly care for more than having giant boobs…"
"What? ...Oh!" M-Rook realized.
"Noel!" M-Ben called out, "What are your plans for when Robotboy doesn't like this new you?" Everyone within earshot swore they heard what sounded like the scratching of a record disc coming to a complete stop, "I mean...Ro...loved the normal Noel...which is now Bullet...and...I mean...no one cared for Bullet…"
"MMM!"
"Shh!" M-Rook shushed, "We're trying something here!"
"So...you get the body of your dreams...but I mean...you kinda gotta give up Lambda as your sister...and Roboboy won't wanna go with you like this...meaning it's Tsubaki's job to raise and love him now," M-Ben went on, "Not to mention your pets...guess I gotta take care of 'em now...eh, I'm sure it won't be so hard."
"...oh my god...you're right…" N-Bullet whispered, her eyes wide in realization, "Ro wouldn't..I...he w…" she paused, tears beginning to swell in her eyes as her lips began to quiver.
"How is it even in that hot body...Noel still is the most adorable thing ever?" M-Ben asked.
"I…"
"UWAAAAAAAAGGGH~!" N-Bullet hysterically sobbed as she fell to her knees, literally crying waterfall tears as she did.
"Despite how much growing she did during our little multidimensional adventure...She's still as sensitive as ever," Skurd whispered.
"Mmm…" B-Noel mumbled.
"That...worked almost too well..." M-Ben muttered, "Now I kinda feel bad. But, at least we're not getting shot at."
"Let's just be thankful she stopped in her little insane drama," M-Rook sighed as she walked over to N-Bullet, "Come on...Let's get back to Ragna's place so we can get you back in your body."
"H...hai…." N-Bullet sniffled.
"Seriously, how can she still look like a kicked puppy in a body not her own?" Skurd questioned.
"Her technique must be soul-based," M-Ben replied.
"Um...Why am I wearing this?" J-Tsubaki asked, a blindfold over her eyes.
"Because if you take it off, my body gets closer to shutting down from blood loss from your nosebleeds when you see me in Ragna's body," T-Ragna deadpanned before sighing, "Jin, seriously?"
"What? I've told you how I...well...tended to get along with brother."
"You were acting like you had a-and to quote Makoto-'murder boner' and a really unhealthy obsession with Ragna."
"..."
"She rut you rup…" K-Zed snickered.
"Shut it, Levin…"
"I'm still surprised at Zed's vocal chords being able to do that," T-Ragna admitted.
"She watches a lot of Scooby Doo with me and Luna," Sena admitted from nearby, "...Luna wanted her to talk like Scooby."
"That makes sense…" many muttered.
"Kay, we got her!" M-Ben's voice called.
"Oh, thank go…" G-Jin began before blinking a few times.
"...What?" M-Ben asked, not bothering with trying to hide the fact N-Bullet was in a slim black dress.
"...She looked too much like a kicked puppy that we had to do a few things in that list of hers," Skurd sheepishly admitted.
"List nothing. She's got a fuckin' book," B-Noel muttered, glaring at the dress her real body was in.
"No joke...she really does have a book," M-Rook clarified.
"Novel," M-Ben corrected, his hands over N-Bullet's ears, "We don't want her upgraded gauntlets blasting us to the atmosphere and back if you make her mad from calling her novel-sized list a book."
"...What is this novel about?" R-Mai asked.
"Things she wants to do with tits," B-Noel snorted.
"Oh…"
"She really went off the deep end there…" B-Makoto muttered, currently sitting down in a chair to avoid breaking stuff.
"You could stand, ya know," J-Tsubaki stated.
"Nope. Not with the ears, tail, and…" B-Makoto paused before motioning to their chest, "These…Seriously babe, h-"
"Yoga and morning stretches…" M-Ben answered.
"She's not l-"
"CAN WE PLEASE JUST SWITCH BACK TO OUR BODIES?!" R-Gwen snapped, the nearby mirror turning into a potted plant.
"I think someone is a little extra cranky…" B-Makoto muttered, "But no seriously...I had no idea moving around as a girl is so...difficult…"
"Well you said you've walked in someone else's shoes," M-Ben pointed out, "Now you know how it feels to walk in the shoes of a Beastkin...and a girl...again….seriously, I'm still surprised you and Gwen switched bodies at one point."
"We were ten so nothing really that different," G-Jin replied.
"We were essentially almost the same size…" B-Makoto nodded, "This...is remarkably different. Also, I am kind of proud of being so skinny now…"
"Sure no part of you finds being a girl interesting, especially since said girl is your g-" M-Ben began before they were thwacked upside the head, "Ow!"
"Enough…" T-Ragna muttered.
"Alright, alright. We get it...you're weirded out by Jin and his weird feelings...seriously I think he's having some kind of deep internal conflict." M-Ben muttered.
"I do not!"
"Don't remove the blindfold," T-Ragna, G-Jin, and R-Gwen ordered, his brother in a girl's body tugging down to it for emphasis.
"I think he's gonna need to join Noel in the counseling after this is over." B-Makoto muttered.
"Weird how with most of us it's just adapting to each other's body types that is the weird part." M-Ben agreed.
"Alright, you two, get us back in our normal bodies now," M-Ben said, looking at Sena/Luna.
"Um, r-right," Sena nodded as he pulled Muchorin out, "S-Soul Exchange!" the staff shined bright and filled the room for a few moments with light before dying down, "D-Did it work?"
"..." Tsubaki looked at her hands, "I'm in my body."
"Likewise," Jin noted as Gwen nodded.
"G-Goodbye, woman makers…" Noel sniffled, curled up in a corner as Bullet pulled off the dress and stomped to her room and came out in her normal uniform.
"Do that again and I'm beating your ass, brat," Bullet snorted.
"Oh, Bullet-san, that's just rude!" Ragna barked, causing Bullet, Tsubaki, Gwen, and Jin to pause and turn their heads to him...seeing his eyes were Celica's, "Wait...what happened to my voice?"
"Aw son of a bitch!" Celica snapped, her eyes Ragna's.
"Rhy rm I rot ruprised?" Zed grumbled as Ben was curled up on Makoto's lap.
"Yeah, I'm just gonna keep my hands on the armrests of this chair," Makoto informed, her eyes replaced with Kevin's.
"You better!" Kevin snapped with Makoto's eyes.
"Why…" Tsubaki asked mostly to herself.
"Not Luna's fault!" Rook declared...with Luna's eyes, "Wait...Why is everyone shorter than Luna?"
Sena blinked twice with the second blink having his eyes replaced with Rook's, "Well...This is not good."
"No…" Tsubaki replied, "So close...just…"
"Ugh...okay, I'm getting tired of this bit...call someone smart in magic!" R-Celica ordered, "Call the annoying magic lady who moved in across the street." she pointed to Tsubaki.
"No!" Tsubaki panicked, "Please...not Merlin...she'd just experiment with the spell all day!"
"Got anyone else we could see?" M-Kevin deadpanned.
"...No…" Tsubaki sighed, "The only other person would be Gwen but well…a-are you even Gwen at the moment?"
"I am," Gwen replied, "But I am worried about…" she gestured to Sena/Rook and L-Rook, "That."
"Call...Merlin…" M-Kevin frowned.
"Merlin?" Gwen, L-Rook, K-Makoto, and Sena repeated.
'ANOTHER BIG BOOBIE LADY!?' L-Rook mentally screeched as Merlin was covering her mouth with a hand as she was currently laughing at the group, 'Loona's getting upset!'
"Oh...oh this is quite the treat…!" Merlin giggled, "This...this is funny. I haven't seen a blunder this bad since...well...the first time I tried something this stupid."
"Well can you fix this or not?!" R-Gwen snapped as a nearby tree suddenly exploded.
"Of course I can. Hahaha...ah...I mastered Soul magic back when I was little...I was like 50." Merlin smiled.
"And yet, you barely look a day over your early twenties," Skurd complimented.
"Thank you...having a demon heritage helps." she smiled, "Now then...for fixing...this big old mess." she turned to everyone, "Honestly I'm amazed you're not all...well...for lack of a simple term...dropping...eh…"
"Don't!" most panicked.
"This is some dangerous magic, you could have just as easily lost a soul somewhere...but thankfully everyone is in someone...so I can fix this. But for future reference...maybe don't mess around with this kind of magic little one." she then lifted her hands up and moved them around, before a purple flash went off. Rather then just being instant, everyone who swapped bodies began glowing...before the incorrect inhabiting soul was pulled out and forcibly lifted up into the air, "Now...I'm going to match up all of you one by one. So don't complain, cause...if I let go of your souls...bye-bye~"
"...LUNA!" Sena exclaimed.
"LUNA'S FREAKING OUT!" L-Rook freaked.
"I hear complaining~" Merlin teased.
"No! No complaining!" the others panicked.
"Good, so let's begin simple, the dog goes in the dog." she mused as she slowly began matching souls back with bodies, "This one goes there...this one here...that one in this one...and this...hmm...are you sure...this body is already pretty crowded…?" she got nods from the others, "Alright then...back to this boarding house of souls then…"
'Amazing...She's able to do this as if it was just a simple exercise,' Gwen thought in surprise.
'...Wait. Boarding house of souls?' Sena thought, 'But...it's just me and Luna...right?'
'What are we whispering about?' Merlin's voice asked in their heads.
'GH?!' Sena and Luna tensed up.
'...hmm...well now...a third soul?' Merlin pondered.
'Third? The hack are you babbling about?' Luna asked.
'Oh I see...it's a secret, you be a good child and forget this little topic...or I will give you the brain of a birdy, Okay? Okay~' Merlin smiled happily.
'...now look here, y-'
'We'll behave!' Sena gulped.
'Good children…' Merlin smiled, she went back to matching souls up with bodies, "Hmm...which brute does which soul go into?" she lingered on Kevin and Ragna, "...they just seem so alike…" she teased.
"Oi," Kevin and Ragna deadpanned.
"Oh learn to take a joke," Merlin smiled, "I mean...you're still just boys in comparison to what constitutes a Man to me."
"Seriously this woman…" Ragna muttered before sighing, "Least I'm back in my own body…"
"Try not to...be exposed to anything super magical for a while...you might have a sudden out of body experience." Merlin explained, her eyes moving over to Gwen and Sena, "So...that applies to you two mostly...don't do magic to the grease monkey...unless you want to have to chase down his ghost and shove it back inside his body."
"...don't think about it, Luna," Sena whispered.
'Luna wasn't thinking it.'
"Yes you were…"
"She was." Merlin smiled.
"So...all fixed...I have many questions!?" Gwen snapped, "Wha...who…"
"I'm Merlin. No…" she cut off Gwen, "You are wrong. Wrong...nope...wrong." she answered any question as soon as she thought of them.
"But…"
"Sorry but nope." she mused, "Honestly, you really think that idiot with a skull face and his annoying niece are the only true normal magic users in the world. My kind have been here watching. Honestly if your family didn't humiliate those two so often...we might have killed them eventually."
"Hahahaha!" Ben laughed, "No...I'm...what she said is scary but...the idea that we saved his life by making him look stupid…"
"OH I get what you mean…" Merlin noted, "Oh...and then there's Darkstar...eh. Nine pretty much destroyed him without even using a spell."
"Wait...you know…" Gwen began.
"We talk," Merlin answered.
"Basically all scary powerful magical ladies know each other," Makoto explained.
"It's like a sisterhood thing," Merlin nodded, "I'm the eldest, of course."
"...Afraid to comment on that," Kevin whispered.
"And that's why you haven't died from meeting one before," Merlin smiled.
"I think...a day off would do us some good after today," Rook sighed a bit, "I am relieved to have my taste buds being normal again…"
"Now you know how I felt when I first had my taste buds changed," Mai sighed, "...But it's not gonna change my mind on Noel's cooking!"
"You're in luck…" Tsubaki whispered as her eyes widened in realization, "It's her turn to cook tonight…Mystery Soup."
"Mystery soup?" Merlin repeated.
"She combined all types of soups into one big one," Ben and Makoto clarified with a shudder.
"Doesn't help she adds it into a Sourdough Breadbowl…" Makoto added.
"Oh, I see...so...she's dangerous in the kitchen...far more so than even your enemies," Merlin noted, "I knew someone just like that...only it was a he...and he never learned. Tell me, does it sometimes look normal, but once you eat it...it hits?"
"Eeyup," Those that had eaten Noel's cooking nodded.
"Not with me," Mai stated.
"Oh honey...you're not part of this collective," Merlin smiled, patting Mai's head.
"Did we also mention she has this rule to never taste her own cooking?" Ben added.
"Hmm?"
"He's right...Noel never tasted her own cooking...no matter how hard we try and get her to…" Tsubaki sighed.
"Oh you poor things...well at least you didn't live in a bar where said cook served their dangerous cooking to poor unexpecting customers…" Merlin sighed.
"...Oh those poor people…"
"Yes...very much agreed..." Merlin muttered.
"You know I'm standing right here…" Noel spoke up.
"Oh right...Counseling," Makoto snapped her fingers as she grabbed Noel and tossed her over her shoulder, "Tsubaki, bring Jin! He needs some more, too!"
"Wait, wh-" Jin began before a collar was placed on him, "...Tsubaki…":
"No complaints…" Tsubaki said firmly, holding a leash as she began to drag him off.
"I'm not a dog!"
"Sit!" Tsubaki ordered as Jin did so.
"I...but...this isn't fair...GAH!" he gagged as Makoto helped in dragging him off.
"...I have nothing to add to this…" Ben muttered.
"Neither do I," Kevin and Gwen added.
"Luna just wants today to end~!" Luna complained as she hysterically cried, "Luna's had it with the body swapping and the big boobie monsters!"
"..." Merlin smiled, "Kids are always such a pain."
"Agreed," Ragna and Kevin agreed before their knees were kicked, "OW! LITTLE TWERP!"
"You take that back about Luna!" Luna snapped, Muchorin in its bat form..only three times its original size.
"Luna…"
"?!" Luna tensed up, slowly turning to a frowning Gwen, "..."
"When we get home...grounded."
"EH?!" Luna and Sena exclaimed.
"Just Luna," Gwen clarified.
"WHAT?!"
"How does that even work?" Skurd asked.
"We have a system that's working so far," Gwen replied as Luna slumped.
"That makes sense," Ben noted, "Now if you'll excuse me...I'm gonna go meet up with Makoto, and pick her up for a date...one without having to worry about Noel spying on us unless we leave the planet."
"How she keeps getting her hands on the remote for the Bellwood Base's Groundbridge Kajun keeps on her at all times is still a mystery," Skurd spoke as Ben left.
"Speaking of Groundbridge...we better have Kajun bring o-" Gwen began before a Groundbridge appeared nearby, "..."
=You're welcome= Kajun spoke from Mai's Badge.
"Hmm...cute…" Merlin noted, "I've done better though."
"...I'm not gonna tempt fate," Kevin muttered as he, Gwen, Zed, and Sena walked into the portal to leave.
"...Um...we should…" Rook began awkwardly.
"Head...back...home…" Mai muttered as she and Rook began to slowly leave.
"Have a good rest of your day," Merlin gave a small wave.
"Hopefully my deputy has calmed down by now…" Ragna muttered as he was the last to leave, "...Oh, what am I talking about? She's normally mad all the time…"
"That will be amusing to hear about later," Merlin giggled before, once she knew they were all gone, began to laugh, "Oh, that was just perfect! Disguising myself as Gwendolyn and teaching those two that little spell was just so perfect! Far beyond expectations, even...though..." she paused as she tapped her cheek in thought, "Who was that third soul in that young child with the two souls?" she mused, "Hmm...I'll have to keep a closer eye on this little family unit."
"Hmm...maybe this...no this...perhapes…" Roy whispered as he sat in a slime-made chair in his little crystal container, various books surrounding him with a chalkboard with various equations nearby, one of his various slime tendrils writing on it, "Oh yes...yes! I know I'm this close…!"
"Roy? Roy, are you free?" Litchi's voice called out.
"Hmm?" Roy blinked as he closed his book, looking up to see Litchi poking her head in, "Oh...Litchi. I didn't hear the door open...is everything okay? I was close to figuring out a missing link between Crystalsapiens and Petrosapiens."
"Yes, everything is okay. I just have something special for you," Litchi answered.
"Oh? And what i-" Roy began before the lights were turned off for a moment, "...eh?"
*CLICK*
"SURPRISE!"
"AHH!" Roy freaked as he jumped up, completely covering the top of his container with a freaked out look on his mask/face, "Wh...s...oi...re?!"
"Oh dear. Sensei, I think we spooked to the point he lost focus on his voice again," Linhua noted, a party hat on her head.
"Oh dear...we were making good progress, too," Litchi whispered, Lao Jiu wearing a tiny party hat on his head and a party favor in his mouth that he blew.
"...a...i?" Roy blinked before looking at a nearby calendar, "...h. It...y...birthday…" he whispered as she slowly climbed down, "...you did not...need to do this...Litchi."
"Nonsense, Roy. Your birthday is always an important thing," Litchi replied, "You haven't been able to celebrate in years."
"Mostly due to work and…" Roy paused as a tendril motioned to his body, "This...happening."
"Well...now you got all the more reasons to celebrate it," Linhua pointed out, "Plus you haven't even noticed the party hat on your container."
"The what?" Roy blinked as he looked up, seeing a party hat on top of his crystal container, "...huh. So there is…Lao Jiu's doing?"
"Correct," Litchi nodded with Lao Jiu blowing on his party favor.
"...That is one sneaky panda."
"It really is," Linhua muttered as Lao Jiu snickered a bit.
"...still, happy birthday, Roy," Litchi smiled.
"...Thank you."
SZ:...huh. This...might've been one of our shortest chapters yet….then again it is April Fools so…
GT: Yep. Not all side stories will be long ones, mind you.
Z0: *shadowed hands grab both SZ and GT and begin dragging into the shadows like portals into the darkness* We shall see you all next time...provided they can survive my world of endless pranks and chaos.
SZ:...meep.
GT: Please read and review, folks. Because if not, we'll be trapped in there.
