♘Rosario+vampire: Year of the Dragon

Chapter 14

The world was fuzzy around him, making him cringe at the bright light around him, like really bright, almost like being on the surface of the sun, but he soon shook it off, looking around he noticed that he wasn't where he was before, this place was too clean, and had banners everywhere.

"Rest well?" a voice asked from behind a throne near the center of the room, out walked a tall white horse with wings and a horn, it's mane flowing in some unseen wind.

"I suppose so," He responded, realizing that he was in his dragon form.

"You seem surprised, is this not your true form?" the white horse asked.

"It is, but I don't remember releasing my human form," He wobbled a little as he stood up.

"Why would you need such a thing?" she asked him.

"It is a rule of the school, and I heard the energy could cause unfortunate effects," Emerald stretched a bit.

"But is your dragon form not enough?" she asked him, stepping closer.

"Oh believe me, I am proud to be a dragon, but it can be intimidating to others," Emerald took a cautious step back.

"I see, and I enjoy being an Alicorn, but it is intimidating to others," She said as she took another step back.

"Really?" Emerald kept from laughing, she looked cuddly, "So you are an Alicorn?"

"Yes, a mix of earth, pegasus, and unicorn ponies, my name is Princess Celestia," She said, then looked up at him, he being a hoof taller than her or so, "Does my form not frighten you?"

"Not really, you truthfully look cuddly," Emerald smiled.

"I do huh? would you?" She smiled as she watched him internally panic.

"Uh well, I guess if I knew you," he gave a nervous laugh.

"Beware, looks can deceive," She said, Emerald nodded, Tsukune came to mind, but before he could say anything her power level spiked, her mane started on fire and her eyes glowed, energy collecting around her horn, then within a split second she launched a solar beam hot enough for the entire kingdom to feel.

The beam ceased as the she stood up straight, but to her absolute shock he was still standing there, unfazed by the attack or the melting room around him, "I know it well."

"More than interesting, any other being would have dodged," She paused taking notice of his power level lowering to a metaphoric hum, " You were able not only to take it, but still have astonishing power left."

"Of course, good defense and offense require near no power," Emerald smiled, she knew him it seemed.

"You seem well trained," She sat and seemed to invite him over.

"Have to be, I carry the Spire name on my shoulders," Emerald sat.

"Spire?" She had a confused look, not of unknowing, but of previous different knowledge, "Interesting."

"Yeah," He sat forward a little, " don't take this wrong, but you talk like you know me."

"What if I say I do?" she gave him a warm smile.

"Where would I know you from?" Emerald seemed to get a nostalgic feeling from her, "Perhaps a party?"

"Oh no, we have more history than that," She trotted over and sat next to him.

"Do I also have history with the ones lurking in the shadows as well?" Emerald didn't bother turning to see their surprise.

"How did you notice us?" a familiar voice called as six figures left the shadows.

"Ooh! maybe he read our minds! or maybe he uses a weird chakra field that senses our heart beat and pulse and stuff," the pink one jumped and hung in the air for a second.

"That sounds ridiculous," the rainbow pegasus scoffed.

"It does sound mighty far fetched," the orange one agreed.

"Actually that last one wasn't so far out," Emerald smiled and turned to them, only to stop and stare, they were.

"So is it some sort of heat sensing spell?" purple asked.

"Uh, no, it works more like natural sense tuning," Emerald was then calm, "But I guess that's not a big thing around here Twilight?"

"So you recognize me?" Twilight was surprised.

"Hard to forget a pretty face," Emerald said all smoothlike.

"Ew, that's just, ew," Rainbow gagged.

"What? not one for mushy stuff?" Emerald laughed as she cringed even more.

"First, that's just wrong, second, i'm no good at mushy stuff," Rainbow didn't look amused.

"What, is it so wrong to see Twilight as cute?" Emerald had a pleading face.

"Ew ew ew, that's just loving your sister," Rainbow and pinkie gagged.

"What?" Emerald was hit with an unexpected feeling of familiarity.

"Rainbow!" Twilight yelled.

"It's alright Twilight, he would have found out anyway," the princess said, but before Emerald could question it, her lit horn touched his head, everything went white.

Tsukune hurt all over, really bad, he couldn't believe that they had found something in the cave factory fort thing, but they did, and apparently it exploded, but that was the least of his problems, now he was concerned about how bad the damage was, had he lost a limb, or perhaps his spine broke?

"Ugh," A foreign voice left his mouth, it sounded female, but that can't be right.

Gasping he opened his eyes and sat up, but as soon as he did that, he felt pain shoot through him like a train, "Hey now, take it easy, you were just hit by seventy five metric tons of force after all," A familiar but unfamiliar voice spoke beside him.

"Who, ah, are you?" He spoke, but again, didn't sound right.

"Come on, don't tell me you don't recognize me," Tsukune turned to identify who it was, and was shocked, there sat Hunter, with long flowing hair, a cute face, and a big pair of knockers on his chest, he was female.

"H-hunter?" Tsukune stopped and checked himself, indeed he had long hair, and some fair sized breasts, barely contained in his shirt.

"Actually, while i'm like this, it's Huntress," she spoke, technically true, "You feeling alright?"

"Uh huh, just takes a moment to get my head around," Tsukune said, "And I guess I should be called, um........, Tsukie!"

"Good one, Tsukie," Huntress tried to keep from laughing.

"Hey! it's from what my cousin called me," Tsukie huffed and turned away.

"Well then, shall we get going?" Huntress asked.

"Lead the way," Tsukie gestured as she struggled to get up.

"Here," Huntress put her arm around her and helped her up.

"Thanks," Tsukie cringed as pain hit again.

"I wonder if Emerald's ok," Huntress said.

"Or if the girls are alright right now," Tsukie added.

"Yeah, hopefully that explosion didn't catch much attention," Huntress said.

"Can someone please explain why i'm a guy?" someone asked from their left, turning they saw it was Kurumu, or at least looked like her, still wearing a dress.

"Reasons?" Tsukie shrugged, Mizore sat up and rubbed her/his head.

"I feel so funky," Yukari managed to stand, entire body protesting.

"It's good to see you guys are alright," Tsukie smiled, then realized that Moka wasn't there, "Hey, where's Moka?"

They looked around, no sign of her/him, where had he/she gotten to, "Maybe she wasn't affected by the heat," Kurumu suggested.

"That's not it, she definitely would have been affected," Tsukie widened her search range, looking around the wreckage, then saw Moka stand up from near a large part of the machine, seeming perfectly fine, "Hey, are you alright?"

"Uh yeah, seems so," Moka did a quick check as he came to realize that Tsukie was a girl, "When did, why are..."

"Yes we are the opposite gender of our original forms, yes it came from the explosion," Huntress took a moment to calculate something, "But no, this is not permanent, this will only last a day, for you."

"Oh thank goodness, I can't imagine living without my godly body," Kurumu said, "Wait what do you mean for us!?"

The others ignored her, "So we get to experience what it's like to be a guy," Yukari tapped her chin, "Yay! now I can try some things I have been wondering about."

"Uh," Tsukie was concerned.

"Guess I can try being a guy for a day," Moka too gave Yukari a concerned look.

"We should get away from here," Huntress caught everyone's attention, "I get the feeling that whoever owned that machine and the mountain base won't be too happy with us."

"Oh," they all stopped and looked at all the wreckage, this would not end well for them, so they quickly gathered themselves and left, no want to be part of the scene.

Josh woke up, head pounding, the last the he remembered was giving a tour of the Tardis, the next something rocked the Tardis, knocking them unconscious, now he woke, but instead he was outside, in the forest, and not in the Tardis.

"Gya!" Someone said from beside him, turning he saw that it was Gon, female Gon, how odd.

"You alright....Gon?" The feminine voice of Killua said from near a tree, where Killua was slouched against.

"Been better," Gon sat herself upright, "Anything with you?"

"Aside from being sore, not much," Killua front flipped off the tree and semi-gracefully landed, "Is Josh alright?"

"Aye, just a little shaken," Josh spoke, realizing that her own voice gave away her gender.

"You seem alright, although not very surprised," Killua helped Gon up.

"It's...not the first time this has happened," Josh rolled over to get up.

"So this has happened before?" Gon asked, to which Josh nodded.

Josh stopped and thought, should she tell them the story, or would she rather they don't know? Meh, they can guess at it, "It's not something I think you two should hear."

"Now I want to hear it," Gon giggled, then realized, "Hey, why aren't we in your Tardis thingy?"

"I'm not entirely sure," Josh pulled out her screwdriver and scanned the surrounding area, hardly a trace could be found of it, but other than that, it was gone.

"That doesn't seem good," Killua had picked up on approaching footsteps, lots of them, " Be ready."

From the other side of the small lit area of the forest, a group had indeed walked out, the air growing suspenseful and caution spiking, both parties assessed each other and sized up the threat, then laughed.
