Episode 3: Changeling

Soron slowly woke up and found that he was in a strange room. It was small and didn't have much. It had a bed, a bedside table & lamp, and a small bookshelf. He slowly sat up and swung his legs off the bed and onto the floor. He heard the telltale sounds of people talking, drinking, and whatnot. He even heard the familiar voice of the white haired big guy saying "a real man" in most of his sentences. He sighed as he realized that the events he witnessed in whatever reality he was teleported to actually did happen. He stood up and headed to the door, but before he could open it someone walked in and they bumped into each other falling down. Soron massaged the bump on his head that he received as he looked at whoever had bumped into him. It was Mirajane, and she also had a bump on her head.

"Sorry about that," Soron apologized sincerely.

"It's okay," Mirajane said cheerfully as they stood up at the same time, "Neither of us expected another person on the other side of the door after all."

"Yeah," Soron nodded before a question came to the forefront of his mind.

"How long was I out?" Soron asked.

"The rest of the day yesterday and all of last night," Mirajane replied cheerfully.

"Master Makarov wanted to speak to you as soon as you had woken up," Mirajane suddenly said.

"I'm guessing it's non-negotiable?" Soron asked dryly.

"Correct," Mirajane smiled, "What the master wants, the master gets."

"You can wait for him in the main area," Mirajane said as she walked away from the door, "I'll go get him."

Meanwhile, in the main area of the guild hall…

Natsu was currently standing in front of the job request board looking for a job with Grey next to him also looking at the board. Right now he was staring at a particular job request that looked a little creepy. The parchment was black, and the request was drawn in white. There was an upside down triangle on it with what looked like two eyes at the bottom corners of the triangle. Inside of the triangle was what looked like words in a strange language. To the sides of the triangle were other words written in the same language. At the top were the words "Read This" written in a spooky-like text in black with white around it forming the letters. At the bottom was the price. It was 500,000J.

"Man," Natsu remarked, "That's one creepy looking job request."

"Yeah it is," Natsu agreed.

"What you guys doing?" Lucy asked as she walked up. This time she wore alight blue shirt with a v-neck. The bottom of the shirt stopped right above her belly button, and she also wore a pink skirt with a belt on it. As usual, she wore her key ring of gate keys and her whip on her hips.

"Just looking for job requests," Natsu replied focused on the creepy request.

"What the heck?" Natsu said as he leaned closer to it for a second, "I can't even read it."

"Read what?" Lucy asked curious.

Before Natsu could reply the familiar commanding voice of Erza Scarlet could be heard right behind Lucy.

"No way!" Erza said sternly startling Lucy while Natsu removed the job request from the board to study it further. "You will NOT be taking any requests."

At a table nearby, Reedus, Cana, and a kid sat there with only two of them watching. Reedus was an overweight fella wearing a white shirt, a cliche witches, had and was currently in the process of drawing as he usually. If he didn't have arms, legs, or a head, he'd probably be mistaken for a giant beachball. Cana wore her usually light blue bikini tip, arm bands, bracelet, and black tight pants. She had brown hair as well, and right now she had a mug of beer in her hand. I know… shocker. The kid had black hair, an excited expression on his face, wore a cyan/teal/aquamarine/whatever color t-shirt.

"Do they have to be so noisy?" Cana asked annoyed.

"Who cares?!" the kid replied with a fanboy expression on his face, "They are like, the coolest!"

"You're kidding me right?" Cana asked dryly.

Back with Natsu…

Natsu was still looking at the job request and now Happy was with them, and this time he wasn't hovering in the air right next to his head.

"Decipher this text," Natsu read, "and I'll see that you'll increase your wealth by 500,000 jewels."

"This one sounds like a winner to me," Natsu grinned at Happy, "what do you think?"

"Sure does!" Happy agreed pumping his arms up in a victory pose.

"So it's a translation job?" Grey asked, "that's a weird request for a guild."

Once the parchment was on a table next to them, they all stared at it. Even Erza was intrigued and decided to not prevent them from taking the job should they want to.

"Wait," Grey said, "that's some kind of crazy ancient stuff. No one's going to be able to read that."

"Hold on," Happy spoke up, "it's written in modern letters too!"

"I thought I told you," Erza said changing her mind a second time, "no jobs!"

"Oh yeah," Natsu said eagerly ignoring Erza as he leaned over the parchment, "I can totally read that!"

However, before he could he heard the sound of footsteps and turned to see who it was. Soron had just entered the main hall of the guild. Forgetting entirely about the request he grinned in anticipation. He has been wanting to fight Soron to see who was stronger for a while now, and since Soron was awake… this was the perfect time.

"Hey!" Natsu yelled as his fist engulfed in flames, "take-over wizard guy!"

Soron, however, ignored Natsu and immediately headed to the bar where he just sat and stared at nothing.

"Hey!" Natsu yelled again, "I'm talking to you, skull-shirt!"

Soron quickly figured out that Natsu wasn't going to quit, so he turned towards the hot head and narrowed his eyes at him.

"What do you want hot shot?" Soron asked dryly.

"You and me!" Natsu grinned, "We're gonna fight! Right here! Right now!"

"You want to fight?" Soron asked as he got up from the bar stool he was on.

"That's what I just said!" Natsu said

"You fight me?" Soron said as he walked towards Natsu, "you'll be in for a world of hurt."

"Alright," Natsu grinned eagerly, "I'm all fired up now!"

He then leapt at Soron with the intent to punch him. However, Soron quickly dodged the attack before grabbing Natsu's leg. Soron proceded to swing Natsu around onto a table wrecking it. Everyone widened their eyes at that, even Erza. However, what really caught her attention was the look in Soron's eyes. It was the look of someone who had literally just lost everything, and had been in a LOT of deadly battles. Soron's eyes were so cold, they could send shivers down your spine. Her musings were interrupted, when everyone gasped in shock. Soron now had Natsu in his right hand by a spot in the shoulder. If Star Trek existed in this reality, they'd recognize it as the vulcan grip or whatever it was called. Natsu then fell unconscious and toppled onto the floor with his flames extinguished.

"What's that?" Soron asked noticing the parchment in the wreckage of the table. He bent down and looked at it.

"Ugo deru rasuchi boro kania…" Soron said trailing off confused by it.

"The fuck is that supposed to mean?" Soron asked. Suddenly, a bright light shone from him, Erza, Lucy, Grey, and Happy.

"What's going on?" Macao asked as he and Wakaba walked a few steps forward.

"That's just sad," Wakaba said sympathetically, "Those kids are so scared of the master's punishment, they're actually sweating rainbows."

"That's enough booze for you," Macao remarked turning towards his friend. At that moment, the light died down and everything appeared normal. However, that changed when they began talking.

"What gives?" Grey asked as he held himself while shivering, "I'm so cold!"

That shocked everyone that weren't part of the light show.

"What?!" Elfman exclaimed as he took a step forward, "Ice wizards don't get cold you big cry baby!"

"I-i'm serious," Grey said with his teeth chattering as he shivered, "I'm super cold right now!"

Everyone stared at him dumbfounded.

"What the?" Lucy exclaimed suddenly attracting their attention, "What's going on? Why is my chest so heavy all of a sudden?"

"Hey," Macao asked confused, "are you feeling alright Lucy? Your voice seems awfully low."

"What are you talking about, I…" Grey shivered before he stared at Lucy.

"What the?!" Grey exclaimed.

"Why do I feel like I don't have any clothes on?" Happy exclaimed recovering. He then looked down at himself and exclaimed, "Ahh! I'm Happy!"

"Yeah," Macao said slowly, "We all know that."

"Oh," Natsu said finally getting back up from the floor, "Look at me Natsu! I'm you!"

At that point the guild blinked in complete utter confusion.

"Listen up!" Soron suddenly said in a strong voice attracting their attention, "Why are you all acting like idiots?!"

"Why do I feel air between my legs?" Erza asked confused. That was when Erza and Soron saw each other. Lucy and Grey did the same while both Natsu and Happy also looked at each other. After a few seconds of blinking, they all exclaimed.

"Why am I over there," they exclaimed in unison, "when I'm over here?"

Erza was the first one to figure it out which prompted him to facepalm forgetting that he had an armored hand on. That caused him to yelp from the pain much to Soron's irritation.

"Ow," Erza muttered before she shook her head clear of the pain.

"Listen up you dunderheads?!" Erza yelled getting the body-swapped wizards to stop what they were doing.

"What?" Lucy asked with her deep voice.

"We have switched bodies," Erza said bluntly.

Everyone except for Soron and Erza blinked at that completely baffled.

"That," Soron said with his thumb and index finger on his chin, "actually makes sense."

Lucy/Grey began freaking out and shivered even more uncontrollably.

"Why did this happen?!" Lucy/Grey chattered, "Can we return to our normal bodies?!"

"I agree wholeheartedly, Lucy," Grey/Lucy said suddenly in just her lacy bra and thong much to everyon's shock… especially Lucy/Grey's. However, it was the final piece that proved they had switched bodies.

"Nononononono," Lucy/Grey said pale eyed as a fair amount of the perverted guild members drilled at the sight of her in such an attire, "p-p-p-p-put s-s-s-s-s-some c-c-clothes on G-g-grey!"

Grey/Lucy looked down and panicked. Of course, a normal guy in that situation would get curious. They'd start massaging their breasts they suddenly acquired. That would lead to them getting turned on, and the rest doesn't need to be said… or in this case typed. However, Grey being the clueless person without a sex drive as always panicked. He immediately grabbed Lucy's clothes.

"That's Grey for yah," Happy/Natsu said weirding out everyone in the room except for Happy/Natsu.

"Hey!" Erza/Soron said looking at her body, "Don't you even think about fondling my assets."

"Don't worry. I'll stay as prude-like as possible while in your body," Soron/Erza said with his fingers crossed behind his back, "Scout's honor."

Soron/Erza then posed flirtatiously as he/she winked at Erza/Soron. Much to Soron/Erza's surprise Erza/Ben blushed a little bit before turning away quickly. Fortunately for Erza/Ben nobody else had seen it.

What was that about? Soron/Erza thought as she got back into the normal rigid pose Erza's body is used to.

"The ancient Unpela-spell has been cast," said a wise gravely voice suddenly from the doorway Soron had come from. Right next to him was Mirajane. He was wearing the same outfit from the day prior.

Doesn't he have anything else to wear? Soron/Erza sweat-dropped.

"You kids not feeling like yourselves today, huh?" Makarov asked as he walked towards them.

"What exactly is going on?" Erza. Natsu. Happy, Lucy, Grey, and Soron asked in unison.

"That request you read from?" Makarov explained, "that was put there by me. As a way to serve as your punishment for illegally taking an S-class quest."

"Why am I being punished?!" Erza/Soron exclaimed, "I didn't do anything wrong!"

"The spell effects everyone right next to it," Makarov explained, "I'm guessing you're Erza, and Soron is you?"

Erza/Soron and Soron/Erza nodded at the same time.

"My sincere apologies to the both of you," Makarov.

"But at least now you two can get to walk in each other's shoes," Makarov grinned, "and get through each other's barriers all the quicker!"

"Why you little imp!" Soron/Erza explained as his eyes glowed red while a dark aura emanated from him/her. Same went for Erza/Soron. Everyone except for Makarov quickly scooched back afraid of both of them.

"Change. Us. Back. Now," Soron/Erza said darkly as he leaned towards Makarov.

"Nah," Makarov said, "not my problem."

"Not your problem!" the affected wizards and Soron exclaimed.

"I didn't read it," Makarov shrugged, "besides its not as if the spell's going to kill you. It'll just make it so that you'd permanently be in the bodies you now have once the time's up."

"How long till then?" Erza/Soron asked.

"Roughly thirty minutes," Makarov said, "also, your magics remain with their bodies."

"Best of luck to you, kids," Makarov added as he resumed his walk away."

"Oh great," Natsu/Happy grumbled, "now all I got is this stinking flying power! I'll be motion sick all the time now!"

"Pipe down yah fleabag," Grey/Lucy said to Natsu/Happy.

"What did yah call me, chest mountain?!" Natsu/Happy yelled angrily.

That was when Natsu/Happy and Grey/Lucy started their usual fighting. However, Erza/Soron and Soron/Erza quickly separated the two. Soron/Erza grabbed Grey/Lucy by her left tit and twisted the nipple… hard. That caused Grey/Lucy to cry out in pain. Erza/Soron merely stomped on Natsu/Happy keeping the cat's face to the ground.

"Stop touching my boob, yah pervert!" Lucy/Grey yelled angrily.

"You would've done the exact same if you were me," Soron/Erza replied.

"Well," Lucy/Grey chattered, "I… no… o-o-o-o-okay you're r-r-r-right."

"Let go of the boob," Erza/Soron said attracting Soron/Erza's attention, "ot I'll pop one of your testicles."

Soron/Erza widened his eyes at the look of resolve in Erza/Soron's eyes. Erza/Soron had her right hand in between her crotched clearly clenched around the nutsack.

"Okay," Soron/Erza said backing off and letting go of Grey/Lucy who immediately began to massage the pain away. However, Lucy/Grey ran over and stopped him so she could do it herself. Macao and Wakaba all had droll coming from their mouths cause of this scene.

"How long have they been in different bodies?" Mirajane asked worried.

"About sixteen minutes," Levy said as she walked over to the parchment and looked at it with her magical glasses on, "which means they have fourteen left."

"Oh dear," Mirajane said worried.

The affected wizards and Soron stopped what they were doing and raised their eyes in fear at what Levy said. They began to realize that they might be stuck as their opposite genders with different powers. However, Soron quickly realized something.

"Erza!" Soron/Erza called over to Erza/Soron.

"What?" Erza/Soron asked still not happy with Soron/Erza for twisting Lucy's body's left boob.

"Change into my timelord form!" Soron/Erza said walking over to her.

"Huh?" Erza/Soron said confused.

"Oh give me my arm," Soron/Erza said impatiently as he grabbed his body's left arm. Erza/Soron immediately slapped him hard. Nobody would know it, but Erza/Soron's heart was beating rapidly which began when Soron/Erza grabbed Erza/Soron's left arm.

"I wasn't going to be weird," Soron/Erza said before he smrked wickedly as he added, "but since you decided to hit me…"

He then reached his right hand down towards his crotch and lightly touched Erza's pussy and rubbed just between the pussy lips. That caused a sexy moan to come from Erza's body. Erza/Soron's eye twitched before leaping at her body knocking them both to the ground with Erza/Soron on top.

"Do that again," Erza/Soron snarled, "and I'll have Makarov perform an enchantment to make your body a girl tonight!"

"Wouldn't be the first time," Soron/Erza remarked dryly before he got red in the face. Erza/Soron was confused as to why, but realized it as she felt something hard between soron's body's legs touching something soft. Erza/Soron looked down and saw that whatever the hard thing was… it was touching her own body's vagina.

"They're in luuuv!" Happy/Natsu said nearby.

Erza/Soron and Soron/Erza quickly stood back up and recovered themselves. They then looked at Happy/Natsu and then each other before punching him in the face knocking him out. Soron/Erza with his/her right fist and Erza/Soron with her/his left fist.

"I'm going to grab my arm again," Soron/Erza said, "because I need to turn you into my timelord form."

Erza/Soron nodded an okay before Soron/Erza grabbed his own arm again. This time, Erza/Soron felt her heart skip a beat. However, she didn't slap Soron/Erza this time. After Soron/Erza was done a golden flash emanated and once the light ebbed Soron's timelord form was there.

"My word," Erza/Soron remarked in a British accent, "I somehow feel far smarter than normal."

Erza/Soron then walked over to Levy and looked over Levy's shoulder.

"Ah hah!" Erza/Soron said with a grin after five minutes, "That's what needs to be done!"

Later, after everyone was normal again…

Soron was outside of the guild staring at the city of Magnolia when he heard the sounds of footsteps walking on dirt coming his way. He didn't even turn to look as the person stopped next to him.

"Not what you're used to, is it?" Makarov asked as he too stared at Magnolia, "The designs of the buildings, and how peaceful everything looks."

"No," Soron admitted before looking down at the old man, "What did you want to talk about?"

Makarov didn't answer for a few minutes as he thought of how he wanted to say it.

"You saved one of my children yesterday," Makarov finally said looking up at Soron, "and that has earned you a place in Fairy Tail… if you want it."

"Maybe one day," Soron said slowly as he looked back out at the city, "but for now… I need to find out where I belong in this world. I also need to be alone for a while. I have led a resistance for two straight years, and that requires me to be surrounded by people. Right now… that's the opposite of what I need."

"Just remember," Makarov said, "you will always have a place here in Fairy Tail. Fairy Tail isn't just a group of random wizards of all shapes and sizes. It's a family, and we take care of our own."

Soron nodded once before he activated his Megatrix and in a golden flash of light… a manta ray like alien colored red with golden eyes, clawed hands and feet appeared. He suddenly blasted off through the sky leaving the Fairy Tail guild behind. Makarov quickly turned around when he felt an unusual energy coming from inside the guild hall.

Q/A:

Lenz012696 asked "Will there be an Edolas version of your OC?"

There might be, and there might not be. I honestly haven't decided. If I do, it won't be obvious and will be under a different name undoubtedly. Could even be a different gender. We'll see.

once again, this is a short chapter. In any case, for when the characters swap bodies i'll be having it so that the person's name that entered a body will be before said body. for example: Mirajane/Elfman. mirajane is in elfman's body, and same for the other way around. However. that will NOT happen in this. also, soron & Erza haven't fallen for each other yet... as far as they know. Soron's body is just sexually attracted to Erza's body which is a normal human reaction. i'll wait till after the events of the Fighting Festival arc to put their status as "couple."
