Hey guys, this is pretty nice for me as I have a new chapter ready for you all to enjoy, this one was finished quicker than I first thought. At this moment you all thought that this would be the beginning of the Phantom Lord arc, well not yet but we are getting close to that.
This is a special chapter that covers the Changeling episode of the anime. I have read some stories that do this episode and I always got confused about who was in whose body speaking at times so I came up with a way to make it easier to know who was who. Here is an Example: with Erza in Happy's body I will address her as E-Happy (the E stands for Erza) and with Happy in Erza's body he will be addressed as H-Erza. I hope that helps you guys understand better.
Anyway enjoy the story, the return of another character, and a fun twist most of you won't see coming.
After the destruction of Deliora, everyone was trying to regain their bearings on what had transpired. Ryuma had destroyed the demon's body with just a boulder. However despite Deliora's destruction, they had realized that they still need to lift the curse on the village people. Erza even let them finish this as a matter of honor for the guild to finish what was started. They had believed that the Moon Drip was the cause of the curse so they confronted Lyon about lifting the curse on the people. However, Lyon himself blew a huge hole in their theory, he never knew about any curse. Not only that but he and his men were all, it never affects the human body. That and he and his men never came into contact with the villagers.
So after that failed interrogation, they decided to go to where the villagers could be found. When they got to the storage area, there was no one to be found. One villager came by to get some things and told the group about what had happened just a short while ago. The village somehow came back to its normal state, as if it never had any acid jelly dropped down on it.
Moka, the village chief thanked them for restoring the village despite not knowing that they had nothing to do with that. The Fairy Tail wizards had no clue who it was that had restored the village. He was still adamant about them to destroy the moon.
When Erza heard that she began to ask them simple questions about why they never checked to see what was causing the light at the temple. The villagers did send people to investigate but they never made it to the temple, they only returned with no knowledge of such events transpiring. So with the help of Natsu, Erza launched a huge spear at the moon. When it connected to something, it appeared that the moon was cracking up. However, it had turned out that the Moon Drip had caused a lens effect and made it appear that the moon was purple over the island.
Once the lens was broken, the villagers began to remember everything that they had forgotten. Lyon was right about the Moon Drip having no affect on humans, as it turned out the villagers were in fact demons. They were demons who could change into human form; they had just assumed that they were turned into demons.
When they finally came to realize this, Bobo, the boat guy had arrived and revealed that he knew the truth all along and left to go find help. When the chief saw his son he ran towards him and gave him the biggest hug he could muster. The rest of the villagers joined them and hugged him as well. He even kissed the blue demon girl who healed up Gray, turns out they are and still engaged to be married.
Everyone threw a huge celebration to finally having their memories back and being free of the curse. Lucy and Lisanna did punish Ryuma for scaring the crap out of them when they thought he got hit by the acidic jelly, but only in the way of not giving him any desserts that he tried to grab. Once the sun rose the next morning, the chief tried to give them the seven million jewel reward but Erza declined it as they had done the mission without permission.
Ryu was able to talk them into letting them accept the Celestial Gate Key as a small thanks for what they had done. Lucy couldn't have been any happier as she hugged him after giving the key to her. As they left the village they were able to take a pirate ship, how Erza got to the island, back to Hargeon and then travel back to the guild. But before that, Erza decided on the ship to punish Ryu for making Lisanna flash her bare chest at him with a swift kick in the nuts. Ryu didn't know why Erza did that but felt that he somehow had it coming.
*Magnolia*
As the group walked down Main Street of Magnolia, the group was well rested as they were making their way back to the guild. "Oh man it's good to be back home." Lucy said as she stretched her arms above her head. She was currently wearing a blue shirt on with a light pink skirt.
"Tell me about it. It's finally nice to make it back home." Natsu said as he was excited and wanting to tell his guild that he survived an S-class mission.
"Yeah, I just want to relax and have a nice lazy day." Lisanna said as she wanted to do nothing and just kick back at the guild just for the fun of it.
"I don't think we will have enough time to relax." Ryu said as he wasn't wearing his gi but still wore his red shirt, his dragon necklace was hanging outside of his shirt. He also had a nervous look on his face when he said that.
"You are correct Ryuma." Erza told him as she was pulling her luggage. She turned to everyone and said to them, "You all still need to be punished for what you have done. Master Makarov will see to that for sure."
Once those words left her mouth, Happy was worried. "I'm scared do you think he will make us do that?"
Gray was panicking as he didn't want to face that again. "Okay now I'm scared, what is that and why is it so scary?" Lucy asked as she had never seen what kind of punishment Fairy Tail could do to people who have done what they have.
Lisanna decided to tell Lucy, "No one really knows, Master kind of changes it to whatever degree he makes it as it's never the same punishment. But hopefully, he will go light on you because you're still kind of new to the guild life."
"I would be more worried about what Mirajane would be doing to you Lisanna." Erza told her as she became scared once more.
They had finally arrived at the guild and walked through the doors. Some of the other mages there were looking at them like they were dead mages walking. Erza stopped them and looked around trying to find Master Makarov. She turned her attention to Mirajane instead. "Excuse me Mira, but where is Master Makarov?"
"Oh hey guys, I see you're back from your island getaway. Did you guys have fun?" Mira asked in a polite tone.
"It was work, now back to my question?" Erza asked once more.
Macao decided to answer her instead to save them from the pain she could inflict on them. "He's not here, said something about being out of town. He told us he won't be back until the middle of the afternoon."
Everyone in the group was happy to hear that as they can relax a bit before being punished. Natsu, Gray and Happy were glad to hear about that. "By the way guys," Mira asked them all, "Where's my baby sister Lisanna?"
"What do you mean Mira?" Ryu asked as he turned to show her where she was. "She's right… wait where did she go?" Ryu saw that Lisanna was nowhere to be found as she had vanished. Ryu quickly looked around to see where she could be hiding as Lisanna does that to avoid being punished by Mira. He looked down when he heard a small meowing noise at his feet; he saw the cutest blue cat with black stripes on its body and a collar with a bell on it.
"Oh my god, who is this cute little thing; aren't you the cutest little kitty ever." Ryu said as he picked up the kitty and snuggled with its face. He went over to the bar and placed the kitty on the bar top and played with the kitty for a while. Cana sat next to him as she drank and saw him playing with the little kitty.
"Everyone be quiet." Erza shouted at them. This got the group and even some other members to remain quiet. "Listen up; none of you are getting off the hook that easily. You broke the rules by taking that request, prepare for punishment." This got everyone freaked out again as they didn't know what to expect.
"Oh come on Erza," Ryu was saying to her. "Can you please let us relax for a while, please?"
"No." Erza responded. Ryu tried to hold up the kitty to get her to rethink her idea as the kitty gave an adorable look. But she didn't budge one bit.
"Ah man, I thought that would work, sorry little kitty." Ryuma said to the little kitty as it licked his check in sympathy. He was going to pet it until he heard something at the main entrance. "Is that- what the heck is that?!" Everyone turned to the entrance and saw what Ryu pointed out.
Striding through the guild hall was a really tall bird that looked like a cross between an ostrich and a chicken. Nearly nine feet tall, the bird was covered in fluffy golden plumage, had a bright orange beak, dark blue eyes, and black scales on its feet and long silver talons. What made it stand out the most were the two-foot "sideburns" hanging down the sides of its face, the "mohawk" of feathers atop its head, and the incredibly fluffy tail that curved upward.
"What the heck is that thing?" Lucy asked as the giant chicken walked over to where Mira was currently standing.
"That Lucy," Cana began to tell her. "That there is a Chocobo, a large flightless bird. They can be domesticated and be used for either riding purposes like horses as they are faster than one, or be used to deliver letters. Like this one here."
As the Chocobo reached Mira, it lowered its head to give Mira the letter. "Oh my, what's this?" she asked as she looked over the letter. "Oh it's a magic letter from Vincent Wilson from Cait Shelter. I wonder what it says." As she looked at the seal on the back she made a hand gesture to activate the recorded message.
"Hello...? Hello, is this thing on?" Vincent's voice played out as he appeared in mid-air. At the moment the letter was dictated, he was sitting behind a desk, wearing the outfit they'd seen him in before sans the cloak. "I'll assume the blinking light means it's on. So, um..." he said nervously as he drummed his fingers on the desk in front of him. "Hello, Mirajane, this is Vincent... you know, from the other day. Anyhow... wow, I'm really bad at dictating," he said scratching the back of his head. "I guess what I want to say is, I'm sorry," he said bowing at the waist. "When I got that request for an escort so that one guy could ask for your autograph, I didn't really think anything of it at the time. It seemed like good money, and he didn't come across as a total sleaze... but things got really out of hand, and I'm deeply sorry about that. I offer my most sincere apology to anyone in Fairy Tail that guy may've insulted," he said bowing again at the waist.
"Damn right for apologizing," Cana said out loud. "That fat bastard not only tried to get two of our friends to pose for naked pictures for him to jerk it to, but he also tried to get me and Lucy to give him our underwear. If I ever see that slime ball again, I'm gonna crack open another can-of-whoop-ass on that piece of crap." Lucy couldn't help but agree with that statement.
Ryu agreed as well. If that bastard tried to come back and do the same thing again, well let's just say that there would be a new resident at the hospital, twenty miles away from here.
"But rest assured, I don't think something like that's going to happen ever again," he said letting a tired sigh pass his lips. "After things went really pear-shaped, as soon as I dropped that guy's ass off at the train station, I visited the neighboring guilds and got that guy blacklisted so he wouldn't pull anything like that again. I can't say for certain that all of the guilds I visited got the message, but what I'm trying to say is, I hope nothing like this ever happens again, and I pray this hasn't damaged any working relationship that Fairy Tail might have with Cait Shelter in the foreseeable future."
"Hm, I don't think it would damage our working relationship," Ryu said out loud as he was still petting the cute kitty. "This was just an isolated incident and won't cause any harm between us and Cait Shelter."
"All that being said, and once again, I'm really sorry about how things went down," he repeated. "So um... Mirajane..." he said nervously pressing his fingers together. "Next time I'm in Magnolia, I'll drop by and see if there's anything I can do to repay what I hope is your understanding. On behalf of everyone here at Cait Shelter, I am deeply sorry for any troubles this may have cost."
"Oh dear, I do accept the apology." Mira said to the recording with a sincere smile on her face. "I wouldn't mind hanging out with him and getting to know him better." For some reason the Chocobo gave a sigh of relief that no one saw as their attention was more focused on the recording.
Elfman felt conflicted by that statement, on one hand he wanted to protect his sister from harm, emotional or physical. But in the other, if he did try to interfere in her life, she won't be happy with that.
"Also, I'd like to apologize for putting a miniature iceberg on your front steps. Hopefully no-one hurt themselves too badly trying to bust it open. That thing should've melted after a couple hours, and I hope there wasn't too much trouble having to use the side-doors for that period."
Natsu, Ryuma and Elfman all slapped themselves on the forehead when that part of the recording was said out loud. "Damn it, we forgot about the side doors." Natsu said out loud. Everyone else was happy that they did forget or the guild would have been faced with another fine. If Makarov was here, he would think the same thing.
"I didn't have any problems with the doors; it was pretty easy for me to remove that ice." Gray told the others.
"Gray, your pants are gone." Mira pointed out to him as he looked down and saw he lost his pants somewhere. He scrambled to find them quickly.
"Anyway... Um... I guess that's everything," he said scratching his cheek. "I hope you have a pleasant day, and uh... I look forward to seeing you again in the future..."
"Oh how sweet, I can't wait to see him again as well." Mira said out loud.
" . . . Is it done yet?" Vincent asked in a tone that said he wasn't dictating. "How do I turn this thing off?" he said as he began looking at the recorder at different angles, waving his hand in front of it.
"Whatever you are doing you Neanderthal, please keep it down. I am trying to take a nap over here." A sophisticated female voice was heard in the message as everyone was wondering, who is that? Happy was curious as well, he thought she sounded nice.
"Carla! I'm trying to work here! I'm writing a letter to Mirajane Strauss of Fairy Tail to apologize for that... incident the other day," Vincent said red-faced.
"Hey Mira," Lucy was asking Mira. "Do you know of anyone from that guild besides Vincent?"
Mira had to put her finger to her lips to think about that. "Nope sorry. Oh! He has mentioned from time to time about whom he considers his 'imouto' Wendy, or little sister, and her friend. Perhaps this is that friend?"
"Mirajane Strauss... Is this one of those human courtship rituals the other girls have been talking about?" Carla asked.
"CARLA?!" the brunette squawked, his face flushing bright red.
"If this is an attempt to breed with her, whatever you do... Do not, I repeat, do not... bring her back here. I don't need Wendy exposed to something so... vulgar."
"This is not a mating ritual!" the brunette squawked, hands pounding around the recorder as he flushed bright red. "How do I turn this fucking thing off?!" he cried frantically before the recording eventually did end.
Everyone had a small chuckle at the end of the message. It was so serious in the beginning but then became something funny and awkward at the end. Mira was smiling the whole time as she found it to be quite cute to see someone so flustered like what they had witnessed.
The Chocobo decided to choose that moment to take his leave. As he began to walk towards the entrance of the guild Mira said to him out loud for everyone to hear, "Aw please don't go Vincent. I thought it was nice. I thought it was a nice gesture with the letter." This got the Chocobo to freeze up mid-step and bawk in surprise.
"Wait, what do you mean Mira?" Erza asked out loud. "Vincent Wilson is nowhere to be found in the guild, so why did you say that to the Chocobo?"
"Well that's because he's transformed into that Chocobo right there with Take Over," Mira told her as she pointed to the bird. The Chocobo started to sweat under the pressure. He released a sigh as he transformed in front of their eyes.
"Dang it, I thought my Chocobo form would have fooled you. How did you know that was really me Mira?" Vincent asked her as he thought he wouldn't be caught like how he just was.
"Oh well that's easy really," Mira began to explain to him. "I can always tell whenever someone uses a takeover form. I have to know this because not only is this my magic and place of specialty, but I also have to know whenever Lisanna uses one to get out of being punished. Like for instance the 'cute kitty' that Ryuma has been petting for about five minutes."
"Wait what?!" Ryuma said as he looked at the cute kitty he had been petting and fawning over. The cat gave a sigh as well and transformed back into Lisanna in her cat-girl form. She had cat-like fur on her arms and legs that went from her toes and fingers to her knees and elbows. She also had cat ears on top of her head and a tail that came out of her lower back. Her body area consisted of what appeared to be a bikini of fur. The fur matched the same color as her cat form did.
"Sorry about tricking you Ryuma. Ryu?" Lisanna asked as she noticed that he was on the floor, passed out, with a nose bleed and a bulge in his pants. Lucy and Cana noticed this as well but only Lucy had a blush, remembering the last time she accidentally felt that part of him. Cana had a sly smile on her face; she now knew one more thing that could get Ryu's attention.
"I think it would've been better if you cut out the middle-man, er, girl," Vincent re-iterated. "Pretty sure the shock-treatment fried a neuron," he said pointing at Ryu. "Or twenty," he added.
"Don't worry I'll keep an eye on him." Cana said as she pick him up and plopped him on the bar stool and face on the bar.
"That is the creepiest Job request I have ever seen," Natsu said as they all turned their attention to him at the request board. He took a request off the board and went over to where they were all standing. Turned out he wasn't even paying attention to what was happening after the message ended.
"What the hell do you think you are doing? I will not allow you to do any more requests before Master Makarov comes back." Erza scolded Natsu.
"It says: "Decipher this text, and I will see that you get half a million jewel." That sounds pretty cool to me." Natsu said as he tried to read what it said.
"Translation request? Odd request for a guild, it's more suitable for a library to receive." Lisanna said aloud as she changed back into her normal casual wear. She was wearing a green tan top with a pair of blue short shorts.
"Weird, it's in an ancient language." Gray pointed out as he finally had his pants back on.
"Wait, it's in modern letters as well." Happy pointed out as he saw that part as well.
"Oh yeah I can totally read that now." Natsu said as he read it out loud. "What the heck kind of language is this?" Suddenly, a rainbow light covered everyone in the group. Everyone in the guild was watching what was happening and were trying to figure out what they were doing. Just as soon as the light appeared, it had vanished. Cana had passed out and Ryuma woke up.
"W-w-w-what the hell, why am I so f-f-freaking c-c-cold?!" Gray of all people said as he started to shiver.
"What are you talking about Gray? Ice wizards don't get cold." Elfman told him as he has never seen Gray get cold.
"What just happened?" Lucy began to say as she suddenly arched her back in support. "Why does my chest feel so much heavier?" Everyone was shocked by hearing Lucy say something like that.
"Hey Lucy, are you feeling okay there?" Wakaba asked as he wasn't sure what was really going on here.
Lisanna turned towards Wakaba and said to him, "Yeah I feel fine why do you…" she said as she turned to Lucy."AAAHHH! What the heck?!"
Natsu turned and started to sweat a lot, "What the hell's going on? Why am I suddenly standing here, and why is it so damn hot in here. Open the windows or something!" he said as he took off his vest, leaving him in shoes, pants and scarf. He turned to see Gray shivering and let out a scream of terror.
"Okay what is going on?" Vincent asked out loud as he saw all of the confusion. "Hang on," he said as he looked around. "Why does my body feel funny? Heck my chest even feels so much lighter now." No one knew how to address that statement as he was from a different guild and didn't know how he was on a regular basis.
Mirajane was having a hard time standing as she sat down on one of the nearby chairs. "What the, why did I have a hard time standing up? My chest feels heavier for some reason." She looked down at her dress and had a small scream. "Why am I wearing a dress?"
"But sis, you've always worn a dress in the guild." Elfman told her as he began to worry about his sister.
"Well of course I do baby brother, why would you say…" Vincent, for some reason, responded as he turned to Mirajane and gasped, "Oh dear."
"Why is everyone here behaving like idiots?" A voiced asked aloud. Everyone turned to see Happy standing on the table with a determined look on his face. "You're all acting like complete fools. Stop it this instant or feel my wrath."
"Whoa this is so weird?" Erza said as she had a cheerful look on her face. She suddenly grabbed her chest and turned to everyone and said, "I don't think I have ever had boobies before?" all of the men were watching this with excitement. Happy tried to kick her, only for her armor to appear at the last moment.
"Man I have no idea what is going on here," Ryuma said as he held up a mug of beer. "But this seems like one hell of a party." He then started chugging the drink like he was in the desert for a day with nothing to drink.
"Ryu, why are you drinking beer at this time?" Macao asked out loud. Ryuma was like an older brother for Romeo so he wanted to make sure he was okay, and not in any serious problems.
"What are you guys talking about? It's me Cana." Ryu said as he had identified himself as Cana.
"Oh man," 'Cana' said as she woke up from her nap. She turned to Lisanna and told her, "Hey Lisanna, could you please warn a guy before transforming like that?" Lisanna turned to him in confusion, as she was trying to understand what was really happening.
"What are you talking about Cana? It's me Lucy." 'Lisanna' said as she had identified herself as Lucy.
"Lucy? Why do you look like Lisanna now? And, wait… did you just call me Cana?" 'Cana' asked as she looked around the group. 'She' noticed how they weren't acting like themselves and how they seemed to act like a different person. 'She' even looked down and saw her wearing her long pants, high heel sandals and blue bikini top. It was then that 'she' came to a startling realization. "Oh shit we're in each other's body. And it's me Ryuma and I'm in Cana's body." R-Cana said in shock.
C-Ryuma just had a smile on her/his face and said, "Hell yeah you are Ryu. But you're not in my body the fun way." R-Cana was blushing at what C-Ryu had said out loud. He, and along with all the adults in hearing distance, knew what she meant by that.
They all quickly figured out who had switched bodies with whom. Lucy and Lisanna had switched, so did Gray and Natsu. Happy and Erza had switched as well, must to Erza's disappointment and Happy's delight. And finally, Mirajane had switched with Vincent. Everyone else already knew that Cana and Ryuma had switched as well.
"How in the hell did this happen?" N-Gray asked as he had to subdue G-Natsu from taking his pants off with a submission hold.
"I'll tell you how this happened," A voice at the main entrance said as it was revealed that Master Makarov had arrived back. "You fools must have read the Changeling spell and switched bodies with each other."
"Master/Gramps." The group, besides V-Mira as he/she was trying to get used to walking in heels before just taking them off, said as they rushed to where Makarov stood. "What is this changeling spell of which you speak of?" E-happy asked as she/he had to take a fish out of her/his mouth.
"It's an ancient spell that causes whomever is in close hearing distance to switch personalities, minds and spirits with another. Heck it even said to switch magic as well, while you're in another person's body, you can only use magic that body can do. Basically, it's a body switching spell." Makarov explained. They all became shocked by what this meant. G-Natsu and N-Gray were at each other's throats again complaining about this was Natsu's fault for reading the damn incantation.
"That's enough you idiots. You should know something else, if the spell isn't reversed within a half hour, you will be stuck in that body forever." Makarov warned them as this scared the crap out of them.
"Wait how long have we been stuck like this for?" Lu-Lisanna asked out loud. Wakaba replied that it's been 10 minutes so they have around 20 minutes to undo the spell. "This isn't good."
"You're telling me," V-Mira agreed. "How the hell do you think I feel? I've gotten body-swapped with someone from another Guild. Not just any person, but MIRAJANE STRAUSS herself!" He/she shouted out loud to the group. "For the time being, I just have to make sure not to do anything to this body that Mirajane wouldn't be comfortable with... like groping it... or looking at places I really shouldn't," He/she said to himself, not aware that M-Vincent had already looked down her/his pants out of curiosity. She/he was currently blushing at the size the body had down there.
E-Happy asked Master Makarov, "Isn't there any other way to undo this spell?"
Makarov had to think real deeply about this and came up with this answer, "Considering the fact that we are dealing with an ancient magic spell here… I have absolutely no clue." Everyone face faulted at hearing this. "Darn too, I was looking forward to punishing most of you. I won't punish Cana, Mira and Vincent as they didn't deserve this to happen to themselves."
"I can't take this anymore!" G-Natsu said as he reached for his pants. But N-Gray stopped him from doing that.
"Damn it man, keep your or my clothes on. Man that just sounds weird to say." N-Gray said as he hated this so much.
"Whoa, so even in Natsu's body, Gray still has his stripping habit?" H-Erza said as he/she tried to re-quip into a different armor to try something new. But it only made H-Erza wear some kind of skimpy fishing outfit. Why Erza had this outfit in her collection, the guild never knew.
"This has to be the second worst thing that has happened to me." Li-Lucy said.
"What was the first?" Lu-Lisanna asked.
"The first was when Mira beat up Ryu when he walked in on me when it was mixed bath day at the local hot springs." Li-Lucy told her friend.
"I'm sorry, but what?" V-Mira asked out loud as he/she tried to stop his/her wandering hands from going to Mira's special areas as V-Mira sat in a chair. "That sounds very bad right there, what happened?"
"Wait I remember some of that day." R-Cana said. "I only remember walking in the changing room and saw only your back when you were wrapping a towel around yourself. I don't remember seeing anything else. But I do remember waking up after blacking out with a sore face and a foot shaped bruise on my chest."
"Let me explain some of the missing pieces Cana, I mean Ryu." M-Vincent told her/him as she/he finally stopped blushing at seeing his privates. "I went to check to see what was taking Lisanna so long in getting ready. When I walked through the entrance to the springs I saw you staring at her and my first instinct were to protect my sister. So, I threw a wash basin at your head, and kicked you in the chest out of the springs."
"Really? All this time I thought Lisanna beat me up." R-Cana said as he saw C-Ryuma standing behind Lu-Lisanna and Li-Lucy.
"Yeah I remember that day. So, if we are all done remembering things here, how are we gonna fix this mess!" C-Ryu shouted as she /he preferred to be back in her/his original body fast. When she/he shouted, C-Ryu accidentally unleashed a roar of the sound kind not the magic kind. "Okay that was pretty cool there. I wonder what else this body can do."
"Cana don't you dare try anything or else…" R-Cana tried to warn her before he/she saw C-Ryu bring out his dragon arms and claws. "Okay now please be careful with those things, I had just sharpened those claws about a week ago."
"Oh come on, what's the worst that could happen? What I accidentally destroy a table or something?" C-Ryu asked as she/he was currently swinging them around with no regards whatsoever. This continued for about a minute before a sound echoed through the guild, it sounded like clothes being ripped. They turned to where the sound came from and they all sheepishly saw that C-Ryuma had accidentally cut Li-Lucy's and Lu-Lisanna's clothes leaving them in Lucy's frilly red underwear and Lisanna's blue and white stripped underwear.
Lu-Lisanna and Li-Lucy both looked down and saw that they were in the middle of the guild's main area wearing nothing but their underwear. What made this moment even worse was that their respected crush is staring at them in another girl's body. So they did the only logical thing; they screamed loudly in shock, covered themselves as best as they could, and ran into one of the back rooms quickly so as to put on a spare outfit to wear.
"Huh, I wonder what kind of underwear Mira wears?" V-Mira asked as he/she was about to reach the edge of the dress before stopping him/herself. "No, no, must resist the urge to do something perverted while being inside her body... Wow, okay, that sounded SO less perverted in my head," V-Mira said as he/she continued to sit in the chair, trying not to get a headache from over thinking things.
R-Cana had just regained his/her bearings after that moment, and glared at C-Ryuma. "Hehehe, okay you may have a point sorry. When this is all done I will apologize to them. But we have about 15 minutes to reverse this and no one to do so."
"Oh I beg to differ Cana." Everyone turned to see Levy and Team Shadow Gear standing at the main entrance.
"Who are they?" V-Mira asked out loud. "No seriously, who are they? I've never met these guys before."
"Levy," Lu-Lisanna said as she and Li-Lucy came back from the back area wearing blue gym shorts and a white t shirt. "Please, you got to help us."
"Don't worry; I'll help you out no problem. I still want to read that novel you're writing." Levy told her as they had gone over to the table where the spell had remained in place. "Lucky for you guys, I happen to know about ancient text. It should be easy to find the reverse spell in this."
"Alright now, we need to let Levy do her thing." E-Happy told everyone as she/he had a fish in their mouth. "And why was there a fish in my mouth?" She/he asked in a sad tone.
"Well duh, because they are tasty," H-Erza replied with a fish in his/her mouth.
"Um, not to pressure you guys," V-Mira said to them, "But we only have like 10 minutes left." Natsu and Gray were still fighting about keeping Natsu's pants on at the moment so they were good. Unfortunately, they had no idea how to use their magic and kept drooling either fire or ice all over the floor.
"Hey Levy, is it wise to reader the spell out loud?" Li-Lucy asked trying not to have a repeat of the incident again.
"It's all good Lisanna; it's good if you only read parts of it in a different order than how it was written." Levy replied to her as continued to try to find a way to fix things.
"Let me try one more time," H-Erza said as he/she tried to re-quip into another set of armor. 'Tried' being the keyword before E-Happy threatened him/her.
"Have you gotten any closer Levy?" Lu-Lisanna asked her as they began to worry more and more.
"No, sorry guys, I'm stumped. I have never seen text like this before." Levy told them all in a sad tone.
"NO, this can't be. I don't want to be forever trapped in this ice princess's body." N-Gray shouted as G-Natsu then got into his face.
"What's the problem with my body you freaking pyro?!" he asked annoyed by what N-Gray meant by that.
"My problem is that I have to look at your ugly mug every time I look in a mirror you snow fairy." N-gray replied as the two of them brawled once more.
"Will you two idiots just knock it off?" Lu-Lisanna shouted at them. To the rest of the guild it felt weird hearing and seeing Lisanna doing the one shouting at Natsu and Gray to stop fighting. "How much time is left?"
"Not much left guys," Macao stated to them. "You may want to prepare for the worst."
"I refuse!" V-Mira told him vehemently. "Not that I'm implying being a woman is some kind of punishment or anything, but I really want to get back into my own body. Plus, I'm sure being stuck in my sweaty body with hair in odd-places is really weird for Mirajane... Wow, it's so weird I'm suddenly aware of that sort of thing," he/she said as his/her hands crept towards the edge of Mira's dress. "NO! Think unsexy thoughts! Think unsexy thoughts! THINK UNSEXY THOUGHTS!" V-Mira cried out gripping his/her hair. " . . . Dammit! This body is too sexy! My mantra's not working!"
M-Vincent felt bad for V-Mira, she had a small idea of what it was like to be trapped in another's body. Whenever she added another being into her Takeover arsenal, she had to fight the being to gain control of the body. It was a common fear for some Takeover mages when dealing with a strong foe.
"Oh no, I can understand what you mean Vincent. Takeover mages have to deal with that fear from time to time so I understand where this fear is coming from." M-Vincent said to him/her as she/he hugged V-Mira to try and take away the fear. "Besides," M-Vincent added, "I have a lot of trust in Levy to fix this before it's too late."
V-Mira was happy to hear that as he for some reason, couldn't help but smile when M-Vincent told him/her that. He/she returned the hug as they felt calmer and better about the situation at hand. Also, he/she didn't feel weird hugging his original body, so that helped.
"Yeah he probably wanted to be stuck in a woman's body in the more pleasurable sense." C-Ryuma said as she/he drank another mug. That caused both of them to blush from the implications of what that really meant.
"Oh go drink another beer!" V-Mira yelled at her/him.
R-Cana walked by after putting on a black t-shirt. "Cana, please stop saying things like that in my body."
"You can be a real buzz kill at times. Hey why are you wearing a shirt?" C-Ryu asked wondering why Ryu put a shirt on her body.
"Seriously Cana, you wear a bikini as a top. I am so not going to try to put one of your boobs back in the bikini top if it fell out. It would be too embarrassing for me. So I felt like putting on a shirt." R-Cana blushed when he/she said that to her/him.
"Are you serious, it's no big deal. You can always cop a feel anytime you want. Heck you don't even need to ask, you can just walk up and grab one of my breast or slap my ass whenever. Just try not to do it when I am drinking okay?" C-Ryu explained to him/her as R-Cana blushed at what she/he just told him. "Looking at me blushing, I got to say I look damn cute."
"LEVY, how's that reverse spell coming along?" R-Cana asked as he/she really wanted to change the subject fast.
"Oops I was trying to translate it. Sorry guys I'll try to find a reverse spell immediately." The group fell flat on their faces when they heard Levy say that. "This doesn't seem to make sense, there's no pattern here. Most ancient text have a certain pattern to them, but I can't find one here." She added starting to panic here.
"3 minutes left guys." Macao told them all.
"You're not really helping us out here Macao." Li-Lucy replied as she was starting to worry. Everyone would have tried to see how they did with each other's magic but felt that it was more important to try and fix this now and not have to worry about doing that.
"So this is how it comes down huh?" V-Mira sighed tiredly. "I never would've thought my fate would have called for me to be trapped in a girl's body forever... Oh god, what will I tell my imouto!? She'll think I'm weird and never talk to me again! Not to mention that Carla won't ever let me live this down!" V-Mira cried as he/she held her face to try and hold back the tears.
"There, there Vincent." M-Vincent told him/her. "I think your imouto will understand. In fact I think she would be happy about the thought of a big sister."
"Thanks Mira, that means so much at this moment." V-Mira replied back. "Hey quick question here, do you wear any make-up?"
"Nope, it's all natural beauty right there. Why?" M-Vincent asked after answering his/her question.
"Well, I didn't want to ruin your make-up and I have no idea how to apply it." He/she replied back. M-Vincent couldn't help but smile at hearing someone worry about something small like that at this time.
"Guys, we have less than a minute to go here." Macao informed everyone. R-Cana hit him in the head with a stool in annoyance.
"Shut up man, were already under a lot of pressure now, we don't need you to make it worse." R-Cana stated as he/she was getting annoyed by the countdown being mentioned so often.
"Okay I think I got this last part just about finished." Levy said to herself as Jet and Droy were motivating her by acting like her own personal cheerers.
Master Makarov had stepped in to see how the situation was going. "So still trying to undo the spell I see?"
"Yeah and were down to the wire here. So if there is a lesson in this we get it, 'Don't take request you aren't ready for yet.'" Lu-Lisanna replied as she was getting really nervous here.
"Oh yeah I just remembered something very important about the spell!" Makarov said with only 30 seconds left to go.
"Really Master? What is it?" E-Happy asked if it was a way to reverse this spell.
"Hm, nope sorry drawing a blank here." He replied with a comical expression on his face. They all fell flat on their faces at that statement.
"Guys, 10 seconds left." Wakaba informed them as time was getting closer and closer to reaching zero.
"I think I figured it out." Levy said as she read the ancient spell backwards. As she finished reading the spell backwards, the same rainbow light that caused the spell to occur reappeared and covered them in its light. And just like before, as fast as the light appeared it vanished. The guild hall was in complete silence over if the spell did anything. "So is everyone back to normal?" she asked them all.
Vincent and Mira both stood up and looked at each other for a brief second. "YES I AM BACK IN MY OWN BODY! YAHOO!" Vincent whooped as he did a series of somersaults and flips, happy that he wouldn't become ostracized from his little sister. And that he was wearing pants again.
"Oh my, we are back to normal." Mira said as she was happy to see that they were back in their own bodies. "Thank you so much Levy."
"It's no big deal guys, all in a day's work for your good friend and spell translator Levy." She told them as she felt her confidence boost after accomplishing such a feet.
"Not to ruin the moment here, but…" 'Natsu' and 'Gray' replied. "BUT WE'RE STILL STUCK LEVY!" everyone was shocked by this. Those that were changed checked again to see if it was true, and unfortunately it was true. Turns out the only ones who were changed back were Mira and Vincent.
"Oh no, I must have mispronounced the spell when I read it backwards or something. I am so sorry guys." Levy said as she was apologizing to her friends and colleagues.
As everyone was freaking out about being stuck in a different person's body forever now, they all heard a small chuckle that erupted into full blown laughter. Everyone in the guild turned to see Master Makarov, lying on the floor laughing and holding his sides. "W-what the heck is so damn funny master?" Li-Lucy asked failing to see the humor in this predicament they were in.
"Oh man that was the best punishment I have ever given you brats to date." Makarov told them as he was still laughing a bit. Everyone had a confused look in their faces when he said that.
"Wait what do you mean by that?" R-Cana asked in confusion which erupted into anger. "Are you telling me that YOU TRAPPED US IN OUR OWN BODIES FOREVER AS SOME KIND OF PUNISHMENT?!"
"Huh, so that's what my face looks like when I get angry? Eh, either way I still look cute when angry." C-Ryu stated as she never saw her face as angry as Ryu is at the moment.
"Not helping Cana," R-Cana told her/him as calm as he could before going back to yelling at Makarov who was still laughing. "WELL, WHY IS THIS SO DAMN FUNNY?!"
"Because, that wasn't the Changeling spell, it's just some party prank spell that I bought while most of you idiots were on the S-class mission you weren't supposed to be on. You go back to your original bodies after an hour." Makarov explained as he continued to laugh at them as they all couldn't believe what they had just heard.
"Master," E-Happy said to him.
"Yes my little kitty, I mean Erza?" Makarov replied as he looked at the group with a dark look in their eyes. He was starting to understand what is going on now as his laughter died right there. "You guys are mad at me, aren't you?" he asked as he got a nod from them all as a yes. "I may have gone a bit overboard here huh?" he received another nod meaning yes. "I should start running huh?"
"You should have started running when you turned around Gramps." N-Gray stated to him.
"Well let me just say two things first. One, I hope you all learned an important lesson from this, never break the rules. And second, itwastotallyworthit!" Makarov said as he suddenly ran from them all as they chased him around the guild looking to teach him a lesson.
As they were chasing Makarov, Vincent had finally calmed down after getting back into his body. "Hey um... Mirajane? Sorry about today. And the other day. It seems like every time I come here, I cause some kind of trouble for you, and I'm sorry."
"Oh no, this isn't your fault at all, and neither was that one before. You had no control over what could've happened." Mira told him as it helped make him feel better.
"Thanks Mira, I feel better now." Vincent said as he shook her hand in acceptance. When they let go, he noticed a piece of paper in his hands with an address and tomorrows date and time set for the afternoon. "Uh Mira, what's this you gave me?"
"Oh that is for our date tomorrow." Mira responded to him.
"Oh okay, well I guess I- wait what?!" Vincent asked being caught completely flat-footed.
"Yeah, this is what you need to do for me to accept your apology from your message. Don't worry; I won't bite tomorrow, unless you're into that kind of thing." Mira told him as she went back to the bar to resume her barmaid duties.
"Did... did that really happen?" Vincent asked himself as he went to return to his hotel room he would be staying in for about a week. He tried to get just a 3 day stay but it was cheaper for him to rent a room for a week. "Did Mirajane Strauss, the poster girl of Fairy Tail and centerfold model for Sorcerer Magazine, tell me that she is expecting a date tomorrow? Oh man, what am I going to wear?!"
*Ryuma's House, Later that night*
Ryuma was happy to be back in his body after what had happened with Makarov's punishment in them. They weren't able to get a hold of gramps when they chased him, for an old geezer like him, he can sure run fast as hell. He was resting on his couch in the living room to try to take his mind off of what had happened. However, his mind at times drifted back to seeing Lucy and Lisanna in their underwear when Cana accidentally ripped their clothes off and to Cana's comments about her being okay with him doing dirty things to her.
He shook his head trying to clear his mind of those thoughts when he heard a knock at the door. He got up to see who it was. He looked through the peep hole he has in his main entrance and saw it was Mirajane looking shy for some odd reason. So he decided to open the door, "Hey Mira, what brings you to my place? If you are looking for Lucy, she's next door but please, knock first before entering her apartment. She's tired of Natsu breaking into her place and I may have to do something about that."
"Oh no, I know that silly," Mira told him with a smile on her face. She once again became nervous and asked him, "Can I see Cana please?"
"Sure you can, she's upstairs in her room. She is on a small time out for ripping Lucy's and your sister's clothes off with my claws." Ryu told her. Once Ryu and Cana got back to their place, she tried to go to the fridge to get a drink after she took her shirt off. However, Ryu grabbed her shoulders that he was grounding her for what happened earlier in the guild. Cana tried to smooth talk her way out of it but it worked to no avail, and was sent to her room. She did get payback when she flashed him her chest before running upstairs. He was quick to prevent a nose bleed from occurring from the sensual sight.
Mira quickly went upstairs to where Cana's room was labeled and knocked on her door, "Look I'm sorry for doing that to the girls Ryu. But I am not sorry for flashing you." Cana said before she opened the door to see Mira standing there. Cana was embarrassed by what she said to her, "Oh geez sorry Mira, I thought you were Ryu, what's up?"
"I need your help… Did you really flash Ryu today?" Mira asked wondering if that was a serious thing that happened.
"Yeah, I can still get a good reaction out of him." Cana told Mira with a smile on her face.
"Look, I know you love Ryu, but you may want to cool down for a while. It could do wonders for your relationship." Mira told her. She knew that Cana loved Ryu as well as her baby sister and Lucy. She was always trying to hook people up at times and Ryu was the most difficult challenge to date.
"Ah whatever, he can never look away at this smoking hot body of mine. Anyway, what brings you to this house?" Cana asked wondering about the visit.
"W-well," Mira said all embarrassed and was blushing. "I kind of asked Vincent out at the guild after we got our bodies back, and I told him to pick me up at my place for our date, but I could really use your help in getting ready."
Cana was taken aback by this situation. Mirajane Strauss, the girl who tries to set someone up as a couple, is coming to her to help her get ready for a date. This was unprecedented. "Hell yeah I can help you out girl." Cana told her as she was excited for this. "We may need to get a few other girls in Fairy Hills to help you out as well as Lucy. She can help with your looks for tomorrow. Let's go get ready right now."
Mira was happy to hear this as they both left to go downstairs to get Lucy's help in this. "Hey where are you going Cana?" Ryu asked as he saw Mira rushing down the stairs to get to the main door with Cana.
"Mira asked Vincent Wilson out on a date for tomorrow and needs mine and a few other girls' help in getting her ready for her date so I will be spending the night with Mira at her place. Bye." Cana told him as she ran out the door and closed to before going to Lucy's apartment and getting her help in this.
"Oh okay." Ryu said as he tried to go back to relaxing on the couch. He had closed his eyes and took two deep breaths before opening them and ask, "Wait, what?"
Well this was a quick update for me right there. Thanks again to NeoNazo356 for allowing me to use his OC Vincent Wilson again for this chapter. Next chapter will be a special one so I hope you guys will enjoy it.
You maybe wondering why Cana was teasing people so much but calmed down after getting back in her body, well it's simple really. While Cana has a high tolerance for alcohol in HER body, Ryu has a more normal tolerance for it in his so Cana was a bit tipsy while trapped in his body.
Also Mira being shy about having a date is not that odd to see. While she was the one who did ask Vincent out in such a bold way, she wasn't that nervous about it. But during her shift, she began to think it over more and more and realized that she needed help in getting ready for it and that it was her FIRST date and became real nervous about it.
Now about the Changeling spell, not much was known about where it came from or how the others got back into their bodies. So I felt that it would be funny to make it Makarov's actual punishment for the group that went to Galuna Island. Despite dragging more people into the mix by accident, it was still pretty funny.
Don't forget to leave a review at the bottom telling me what you thought about this chapter. No short reviews please, I would like some descriptions here. Also remember, any flame reviews will be fed to Natsu.
