The former sword looked vaguely similar to her previous human manifestation--black hair, tattoo on cheek, etc. But that was pretty much where the comparisons ended. Chamomile gave Lemon a look--a look which said more than words can say. Lemon smiled innocently, revealing those dangerous fangs. "Um--at least he--uh--SHE--isn't a sword anymore!" Chamomile didn't say anything. "I didn't know! My 'grant humanity' spell always worked fine on other things! How did I know he'd decide to go and look like he could be one of my sisters?" Chamomile still didn't speak. "Oh it's not that bad! You know one of me isn't enough!" "Lemon." Chamomile said, striving to remain calm. "You should have consulted me first. Does the fact that I'm the leader of this team mean anything to you or Canary?" "Um, yeah. To me at least. I don't know about Canary." Lemon said, then in a more animated manner, "But I just couldn't wait! I had to try my spell! All I wanted to do was save the day!" Chamomile sighed. "Okay Lemon. YOU will be the one to explain to Colonia exactly what has happened to him--er--HER." "No way! Not me!" "Lemon--that's an order." Chamomile said, then turned away. "If my orders mean anything to you anymore." Lemon was silent for a moment, but then she spoke. "Oh, okay. Aye aye, captain. I'll do it." Chamomile looked back at Lemon. "Thank you." Lemon waited a few moments, then asked, "Why'd you come back, anyway?" "Because, I had to write down some information from the main screen. Which I guess I'll do while you explain your little stunt to Colonia--it looks like... SHE is coming to!" Colonia moaned and opened her eyes. "Dear goodness, what is this?" she said holding her hands up in front of her facing and sitting up a little. They were slender female hands, with wicked sharp fingernails. "Lemon?" Chamomile said, looking over from the screen. "Oh okay!" Lemon said, kneeling down beside Colonia. "Um--Colonia? Um--there's something, I, uh, have to tell you. You know how you--well, how you turned back into a sword? Well, I mean, I know you're gonna be upset, but when, uh, when the others went downstairs, I, uh, I tried a little spell on you, you know, to bring you back to being human? Well it worked--pretty much. I mean, you're back, but, you know, the way these things go..." Colonia looked down at her gorgeous female body with a puzzled expression on her face, then she stared right at Lemon. "Um," Lemon said. "I kind of cast the spell on you and you kind of, um, took on, um, some of my physical, um, characteristics." "Some?" Colonia said, in her new, sultry, devil girl voice. "Well, maybe more than some. Maybe a lot." "Maybe all." Colonia said. "Hey, at least you're not a carbon copy of me!" Lemon said brightly. Colonia stared at Lemon. Lemon bit her lip. "I'm sorry. I can try and reverse the spell if you want." "No." Colonia said, easing her expression a little. "I'd rather be this than a blind, deaf, and dumb hunk of metal any day." Lemon sighed and laughed a little, and Colonia sat up. Buff and Sulfur exchanged glances, at a loss for words. "You don't know what it was like, being a sword again." Colonia said, tears welling up in her eyes. "It was the most horrible pain. I couldn't bear it. I hated being a sword! I swore to never go back! And now--and now---YOU'VE SAVED ME!" With this, Colonia embraced a shocked Lemon. "Thank you so much." Colonia said. "Uh, no problem! Glad to be of assistance!" Lemon said, sticking her tongue out at Chamomile across the room. Colonia eased her embrace and backed away from Lemon. "You really saved my life." Colonia said. Then she gave Lemon a little kiss on the lips. "I'll get used to this body." Lemon smiled and sat back. "Hear that everybody? I saved the day! Me, Lemon! I did it! What would you all do without me?" Buff and Sulfur didn't answer, but continued staring at the stunning beauty of this new Colonia, disturbing and dangerously delightful thoughts running through their minds. -------> ------------------- ----------- -------- -- -----
