*Hogwarts, It's still December.*
Iris, currently in her... Mew-girl form, was prancing around, her thoughts elsewhere as she copied moves from a recalled image of ballet. She had received a message from the goblins about a few contracts, she teleported there immediately and started reading them.
A few caught her eye for a few reasons. One of them was a contract between her and Ron Weasley, her first reaction to that was extremely loud giggles and a lighter to the contract, which had completely deactivated due to her changes. Another was a contract with Draco Malfoy, which made her laugh even more ('how did this even happen?' She thought, a recalled image showing her something simple, Lucius Malfoy has a lot of money, and knows just the right people to bribe.).
The last contract is what sparked the most reaction. A marriage contract between 'Heir Potter' and 'Heir Greengrass', which seemed to have activated after being inactive for centuries. Funny thing about it was the reason for its re-activation was her first Mew-tation. The clause of the contract, 'both must be possible to produce an heir 'naturally'', was the reason it had turned active, being part Mew meant the ability to... get the right equipment for that job. Along with this there was a magical enchantment to go with the contract, making an almost soul-bond-like tie which would be created between the families heirs if 'they were perfect for each-other'.
Which brings us back to Iris of the present, who was running through her 'ballet lessons' while also finding what made the two of them 'perfect for eachother.'
Daphne Greengrass, was a Slytherin and the 'heir Greengrass' marked with the contract, who was what people would call an 'Ice Queen', stiff with emotions and strict with the idiots. Yet she also had positive things, like a love of family, a good moral compass and, the part which sealed the deal in Iris' eyes, she had an extremely secret love of cute things, one of them actually being her.
With her mind made up, (and a slight look in the future, finding something quite beautiful when she looked further sealing the deal.) she stopped dancing.
Time to get to work!
*Elsewhere*
Issei, worn out from her training with the Dragon legends, was resting in a bubble at the bottom of the ocean, strangely something else was there too, a crystalline egg, with a red orb inside it.
*Dream*
Issei mewled happily, watching as piles of yarn fell around her like rain, a stream of milk flowing nearby.
Her joy was crushed slightly as the milk stream burst into flames, a red dragon climbing out of it.
"You know, you won't win against those 'dragons' if you just play around, you have to fight seriously, like my previous hosts." Draige grumbled to the frowning cat-like creature.
"But if I fight seriously, I'll be covered in all those Owie scratches!"
"No pain, no gain kid, I also suggest we make that pact soon, with my power you could take down those mutated lizards easily." The Red Dragon Emperor reminded Issei.
"Yes, but I like my organs and limbs just the way they are! I don't want one of your slithery arms!" The Mew whined childishly, throwing a couple yarn balls into the air and watching as they unravelled.
Suddenly the currently child-like mind of Issei sparked with an idea, a few miles away in the dream world a lightning bolt struck.
"Hey, how about you take my painful nerves! I have plenty of those!"
The dragon gaped, before a perverse smile seemed to flicker for a moment on his face.
"Alright, kid, you got a deal. I can totally do something with those..."
*Later*
Dialga watched as Issei flew around him, dodging her attacks. Finally she got a hit in, her claws sparking with strong metallic tones.
The reverse effect happened though.
"AAAAHHHHNNNN" Issei cried in... Pleasure?
"That felt soooo good!"
Dialga stepped back, watching as the downed Mew writhed in a strange joy.
'That sound and words should not come out of a child this age. But if that is how it works, maybe she should go a bit defensive.'
"Issei, I'm going to teach you some things, I'm going to teach you something called Iron Defence."
The Mew just moaned slightly, feeling the slight twitches of the now enjoyable pain.
Inside the Mew's body, Draige laughed perversely.
"My best idea yet"
Let it be known, the Red Dragon Emperor is a major Perv, and you should never make this sort of deal with him. Issei would come to regret her choice later... and also not at the same time.
*?'s home*
Frisk Dreamurr, adopted daughter of Divorced King Asgore and Queen Toriel, was looking intently into a mirror, but it wasn't her staring back.
"Chara, do you think this woman is the one that truly defeated you?" She asked.
The Red-eyed woman staring back through the mirror groaned slightly.
"Yes I do, Frisk."
"How was she able to do that so easily though, you had..." The Monster Ambassador Gulped, it was never easy for her to say these types of words, "Killed every soul holding being in The Underground, you even told me Sans was taken down eventually."
Silence filled her office.
"Just be careful okay, you and I look so alike that she may go after you."
"I'll try, but if something does come up, you know I can solve it."
Chara grumbled to herself, magically walking away from the mirror's sight, leaving no reflection for Frisk to look at.
'I'll call Smith later; she'll tell me if anything else comes up.'
*Saotome home*
Ranma was looking at himself/herself, squirming slightly at the sight. She tried adding another curse, to see how it would change her. It did something alright; it turned her hair into a freaking pile of tentacles which she could control.
'I d-don't think I'll get used t-to this. How did an Octopus even drown to grant this curse?' The Octo-girl thought, before quickly making a swift motion with her Bamboo-gold staff, sighing in relief as a wet feeling flowed through her body, a fresh drowned-girl curse refreshing itself over the Octopus-Girl mix.
'I'll remind myself of this though; it looked k-kinda cute.'
She quickly brought out her list of curse springs, which she had compiled with the help of the original Drowned Girl who now resided in her ice necklace.
'N-now what other things would work?' She thought, flicking through the book.
Hey, the training grounds are large, springs reset the curse if a new thing drowns in them, you would need to write it down.
*Great Hall, Hogwarts*
Daphne Greengrass 'Ice Queen of Slytherin' was eating her meal while thinking over the events of her year, Iris Potter is not what anyone expected, A Troll was found its way into Hogwarts, only to be found sliced into bloody pieces that same hour and finally... IRIS BLOODY POTTER TURNS INTO AN ADORABLE CAT CREATURE.
Just at that moment Cat-Iris glided past the Slytherin table, dropping a letter from her paws before flying out the hall. The letter landed gently next to Daphne, who grabbed it when she saw her name marked on it. (It was also written in glittery pink, but well...) the letter was really just a fancy note saying 'follow me! If you don't you'll be dealing with only lettuce for dinner', Daphne looked at her plate and found that there really was only lettuce on her plate now, shaped to copy the previous foods that were there.
The Girl sighed, before pulling herself up from the table and quickly following the Mew, who was floating around idly in wait for her.
When Iris caught sight of her, she quickly flickered to the Cat-girl form and beckoned quickly, giving a smile as Daphne kept a blank face.
"What did you want me for, Potter."
Iris just giggled.
"Ohh... so strict! I guess I should just show you this." Iris pulled out the contract document (a copy) and passed it to the other girl, who started to read it. Her eyes grew wider and wider as she continued, her cheeks flaring up a reflective pink and her jaw dropping nearly to the ground.
A bout of Accidental magic from Daphne made the contract burst into flames, which Iris giggled at. That was why she asked for a copy instead of the real one.
"How is this even active? We're both girls."
Iris didn't answer immediately and just shifted from a male body back to female a few times.
"I can be anything I want, which includes having the right tools for that particular job. So, wanna be my Fiance? I think you're really pretty."
Daphne realized she didn't have a choice in the matter, and accepted.
*Naruko's house.*
Naruko was researching the light spear she had recovered. It had been going well enough, she found that the ability to harness it would come easily; she even copied the style of attack for later use. (Conversion Spear? Sounds awesome.)
Her research was interrupted by a cough, she squeaked loudly, flickering out of the humanoid form she was using out of surprise.
"So, you're the one the main boss replaced my creation's story with?" A voice said, Naruko turned to see a figure with a top hat, cane and a cloak of shadow removing the rest of his features.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, the name's Bob, Trickster God and I have a job for you."
*A couple minutes later*
Naruko had calmed herself down and was now sitting on her sofa, Bob sitting on an armchair which looked to be made of Jelly Beans.
"Well... since my story is on major lockdown, I want something from that to be a part of it."
He pulled out a folder from under himself and passed it to Naruko.
"Grima?"
"Yeah, that woman does not know how to have a good time, even Naga can take a joke, but Grima, she literally shoved twelve spikes into my back for saying something hilarious."
"Isn't this a Fire Emblem Main Antagonist?"
"Totally, but I want you to fix that, think of something. I'll give you that dimensional link; I have to go tell my past self to put Jack on hold.
And with that, Bob left, leaving behind a pile of jelly beans which unstuck when their commander removed his power.
'A dragon, huh? I have the most wonderful idea!'
*Fire Emblem World, the messed up future*
Grima was flying above, watching her Risen forces attack sluggishly, their brute force making up for their slowness of being corpses. Suddenly she felt an intrusion, a portal from another reality which ripped... right above her back.
She quickly switched her sight to her back, forming the body of Robin, the one she possessed to be reborn, to be her eyes on the problem at hand.
"Where are you hiding, intruder?" She growled.
Nothing moved, except for the large dragon's body. Suddenly, a strange crystal, switching between luminescent black and white, landed in the middle of her back, a quiet 'tink... tink... tink' resounding as a rattled across Grima's scaled body. The crystal cracked, and a large flash of blinding energy blinding the onlooker for a moment.
The Energy faded, revealing what could be described as a small army of Taken troops, twitching in a sick form of anticipation only their blank minds could understand.
They attacked ruthlessly, Hive Boomer's leaving burns on the great Dragon God(dess') large form, the Fallen Wire Rifles sniping out Grima's forces as she summoned them to her aid.
Grima's forces were no match for the futuristic weaponry the Taken held, and all that remained were a few straggler Risen, that she had brought back from her own minion's corpses, only for them to be struck down with ruthless efficiency once more as soon as they started getting back up.
With a flash of pink, Naruko appeared in her old Chitin Garb, her Mew tail twitching as she walked towards the Human body of Grima, who was on her knees due to her damage sustained from the whole swarm of Boomer shots.
Naruko giggled, before swiftly knocking out Grima with a strike to the head. Quickly the large Dragon's body was sent careening into the ground, Naruko and her Taken braced themselves and with a loud crash, the downed form of her opponent crashed near a castle that was under attack.
"Take out the rest of Grima's forces, protect the others! ATTACK!" Naruko chirped, the Taken shuffling off the downed Dragon and dragging themselves towards the burning city.
Naruko looked at the downed form of Grima, picking up the, what she now noticed as petite, form of Grima and using Minimize on the Dragon's main body until it was a carryable size.
Bill poofed in for a moment, taking a look at the events that unfolded and smiled trollishly.
"Nice work, y'know, I think the main guy made the right choice getting you in the spotlight. Do what you will with Grima, I'm sure Naga will be ecstatic knowing she was taken care of."
With his piece said, Bill vanished again, leaving Naruko to return home.
'Let's get you all prepped up, my new assistant.' Naruko giggled in her head, unceremoniously tossing both forms of Grima through a portal she created swiftly, then jumping through too.
*Japan*
Petunia Evans, Legal Guardian of Iris Potter and Daisy Evans(who took the name along with her mother after divorcing Vernon) was spending time with her cousins, the Tsukino family.
She was slightly upset that she missed having her daughter and niece this Christmas, but the invite she got was so... inviting.
Plus their twelve year old daughter, Usagi was a very nice girl.
*yeah, that was really just an explanation of "WHERE THE F*** DID PETUNIA GO THAT WAS SO IMPORTANT THAT SHE COULDN'T TAKE IRIS AND DAISY" also a way to bring in Sailor Moon, I had some weird third year events that I wanted. Wait, this is a scene change asterisk bracket! I NEED A SCENE TO CHANGE T- Saotome Home.*
Ranma had finished going through the list of useful mixable curses when she heard a very strange laugh from a girl who sounded her age. She opened the window in her room and looked out, staring at the girl in an expensive dress who seemed to be trying to pick some moss from the Saotome garden's pond.
"M-miss, w-what are you doing?" Ranma called out, the girl barely listening as the laughing continued.
Ranma ran down the stairs of the empty home, her mother having another contract and she decided to drag Genma along too ("It's for a disguise, the man I have to take care of goes to circuses a lot and your father would be great to sneak into one." Nodoka said as she finished packing, dragging the drugged-up Panda that was her husband into a truck and putting the tarp over him.). She opened the front door and quickly ran over to the pond, her eyes widening as the laughing girl fell to the ground, convulsing slightly.
Ranma quickly picked up the girl and brought her inside, her worry increasing as the girl's already pale complexion got even worse, it seemed like she was... poisoned.
Suddenly she got a flashback, of when her mother returned home after a mission that went slightly off the rails.
*FLASHBAAACK*
Ranma gasped as she watched her mother unravel the red tinted bandage from her stomach, underneath was a large cut, a sickly yellow surrounding it.
"M-mother, are you alright?" Ranma asked.
"I should be fine, one of the guards got me with a poisoned blade. Can you get some of the moss from the pond outside?"
"W-why?"
"It has strong healing properties, along with cancelling out any other foreign substance inside the human body, like a poison for instance. But I suggest getting it soon; everything is getting rather blank dear."
Ranma 'eeped' running outside and picking the green mass from the pond and bringing it to her mother, who told her to place it into some water and mix it. After that was done Nodoka drank it, shivering slightly at the taste.
*FLASHBACK END*
Ranma went outside, and went to go and get some of the moss, only to see an open pouch with some already inside. She picked it up after noticing it had enough for a dose of the cure.
She quickly got a glass of water, placing the green mass inside and mixing it around with a spoon, the liquid inside turning into a texture which was very much like mud. She brought the glass to the girl, who she had placed on the sofa, and tipped it into her open mouth. After the ill girl had swallowed she helped it go down safely using her magic to guide the water part of it into her stomach.
A couple minutes later it looked to be working, because the girl's complexion turned into a healthier paleness, she sighed in relief at knowing the girl was going to be okay.
'N-now that is done, I H-have to find out why she came here...' She noticed the bags under the other girl's eyes, 'after she gets some rest, she looks dead tired.'
*Naruko's house, Insert techno music here.*
Naruko stared at the two pods connected to each-other, filled up with the goo she had used once before in the creation of the now Kawaii Cult Goddesses, Konan and Yugao. It had taken some modifications for the two pods to work in tandem with each-other so she was rather happy with that.
Naruko giggled, her tail flicking into her pocket and pulling out a small vial of Red and Black mass.
'Tina wasn't happy, but she gave me some of her energy for something like this, apparently she did something with it though. Not to worry! Looks fine to me!.'
The Taken Queen slotted the vial into a compartment of one of the tubes, this one holding the Draconic form of Grima, and flicked the on switch. Her eyes sparkled with glee as she watched the conversion goo absorb it, specks of red and spectral black swirling as they intertwined more prominently with the beast's form. A small amount of Tina's DNA slowly seeped through the connecting tube, fusing inside the human part of Grima. The goo started to eject the other Dragon form's DNA, tossing it into the other tube too.
When the work was done, a red, black and gold egg was what remained of Grima's shrunken dragon form. The Human Grima wasn't without changes either, with a very strange spiked ear shape being found; it looked very familiar to the Manakete, from the Fire Emblem Dimension.
Naruko went to the computer hooked up to the tubes, showing the state of both lives inside their containers. The humanoid Grima's mind flickered in a dangerous way that set Naruko on a slight edge. The woman modified the Goo's matrix to solve the problem, erasing the memories and adding a little shyness, pacifism and obedience to the mix along with it. When that job was complete, the mental malice had disappeared, showing an eerie state of blank peace in replacement.
Other scans showed some slight changes, keen senses, higher stamina... and the modification Tina made to her DNA before she gave it to Naruko.
'Ehhh, it shouldn't cause too much trouble.' Naruko thought, dispersing the strange liquids from the pods and removing both beings from inside moments later. She brought them to a spare room, placing the Petite form of the Converted Grima and the Pokémon egg on a bed together, gushing slightly at the cuteness that was expressed when the 'human' wrapped her arms around the egg.
'Well Naruko, you did it. Time to treat yourself.' She thought as she headed to the kitchen, her mouth watering at the sight of her secret stock.
Lum berries gene spliced with grapes, then dried out to make the perfect raisin for her taste buds.
She was lucky none of the other Mew-tated didn't find out about these, because she wouldn't have any otherwise.
*Back at Saotome home, a couple hours later.*
Ranma ate quietly, watching some muted subtitled shows while the girl she was sharing the sofa with resting, the slight twitches signalling her arrival in the Waking World.
Said resting girl snapped into an upright position, holding tightly onto the blanket Ranma put over her during the time space of her rest.
"Where am I?" The girl said, looking around.
"W-well, you're in my home. Y-you fell unconscious outside." Ranma said, grabbing her attention.
'Right, I was picking the moss to cure...' The girl thought, her eyes growing wide as she recalled what she was doing before, she quickly clambered out of her blanket, the motor functions in her body still properly waking up made her fall to the ground with a soft thud, the discarded blanket softening the sound more.
"The Moss! I need it... or I'll-
"Don't worry about that, I-I already administered the Moss in its most effective way, whatever was in your system is gone. E-explain what it was." Ranma cut in as she pulled the girl from the ground, putting her back on the sofa.
The girl in the dress looked as if she wanted to keep things a secret, but after a while she got explaining.
"Well... first of all my name is Kodachi, Kuno Kodachi. I live with my brother in the family mansion, my father is rather... eccentric, and disappeared to exotic places most of the time, leaving me and my brother, Tatewaki, under the care of the maids. He decided to come back this month, bringing back 'gifts', one of them being a very... strange plant. He decided to place it in the greenhouse the mansion had and as I spent more time there, looking at all the flowers I cared for... I started seeing things. When I was going to school sometimes I saw my friends as... not my friends, I felt like I hated them. It was only recently I found out what was actually going on." Kodachi gained a strange look of anger on her face.
"My father's gift... it was a plant that released hallucinogens into the air, which would be breathed in by people around it. He brought it back with him on purpose, to try and make me and Tatewaki 'like him'. Luckily for me, I spent a lot of time masked, as a few of the plants in the greenhouse were not good for the nose but sadly the plant's effects spread throughout the mansion and my brother has been highly intoxicated by it and will never be the same." The Kuno girl frowned, a few tears sparkling in her eyes as she continued.
"One of our most loyal guards, a ninja boy named Sasuke, told me about it just as soon as I was succumbing to the effects too, and quickly went to go a find a cure. The only thing he found was the moss growing in your garden, and how it would purge the system of almost anything foreign to the system so I quickly made my way here as it was the closest pocket of it and started collecting it, but then everything went blank, and I found myself here."
As Kodachi finished, the tears in her eyes started to fall.
"The plant was taken care of, quickly sealed off so the effects wouldn't get out, but Tatewaki's body accepted the hallucinogen just like my father's, so he won't be able to be purged like with what the moss did to me, I looked it up, apparently there was an outbreak of the plant in Hawaii... the first time my father went there. They tried using the moss on people who absorbed various amounts of it, and it only worked when a small amount was in the system."
The only sound in the room was the almost silent sobs coming from Kodachi, who was getting consoled by Ranma as soon as her story was finished.
After a while, Kodachi had to leave, going off with a large pouch filled with the medicinal moss just in case her father tried to bring back more of the plant. She would have to act like she had succumbed to the plant's effects (she already had a perfect maniacal laugh for her disguise.) in an attempt to avoid it.
As Ranma watched the girl prance away from her house in a strangely insane acrobatic manner she sighed.
'I g-get the feeling it'll get a lot stranger.'
Suddenly, her teacher's ice cage started glowing with blue energy.
'E-enough of that, I-I just realized that two o-of my items a-are in need of recovery. I-I suggest you get them q-quickly, b-because they will definitely help.' The Spirit of the Drowned Girl said inside her apprentice's head.
'H-how can I get them when they are probably in C-china' Ranma replied.
'They are linked to my staff, you should b-be able to summon them.'
A couple hours later, the Prince of the Musk tribe ran around in panic, as his checking of the Musk's most prized artefacts, which included the Ladle of Curse Locking the artefact vanished, dropping some leftover Spring of Drowned Girl water it was holding all over the Prince, whose name was Herb, who technically became a Princess. The Musk Tribe was quickly kept silent about the situation, and the new Princess decided to wear a lesser known artefact, 'The Cloak of Shadowed Bodies' which would encase the wearer's body in darkness, giving them an ominous look.
Along with the Tribe, a private collector was on major lockdown, as one of his collected objects, a mysterious kettle, suddenly vanished from sight.
A couple days later, Nodoka would have assassinated him while he cleared his mind in a circus.
Now isn't that a weird series of events?
Sorry this took so long...
And there was a spark of 'M' quite active in this chapter, by M I mean "Mature? Yeah this story has that rating."
Anyway, Orbit.
Hopefully I'll release another chapter of a story soon, and not in like one and a half weeks.
Cya.
