Swin struggled to open his eyes, the dim light of the sewers not helping to fully wake him up, barely being able to see the place's roof, his whole body still feeling numb after that thing shoot it's beam.
While he didn't expect that thing to be so powerful, that was no excuse to spend the rest of the day laying on the ground, so he decided to turn around and find a way to regroup as soon as possible.
But long strands of blonde hair falling on his face put a stop to that plan, he blinked again and again, rubbing his eyes as if trying to dissipate an illusion, yet those odd colored hairs were still there, following his head's movements.
Trying to ignore that, Swin got up just to feel something off, his chest was heavier and he could feel a slight bounce in that area, with curiosity growing in his mind he decided to look down.
When his eyes landed on his figure it was easy to see it wasn't his own, were moment ago had been a young boy now stood a woman, wrapped in a turquoise cloak, allowing him to catch a glimpse of what was clearly cleavage, and going past that he could see a post of black short shorts who made him aware of an emptiness on his crotch he hadn't noticed before, below that was a bit of exposed thigh that was partly covered by long grey stockings ending on a pair of brown boots.
"Elaine" he mumbled, it wasn't hard to recognise the bracer's attire but why exactly was he seeing that? The only logical explanation he found was that this had to be some kind of dream, some part of his teenage brain that had set up a lewd dream for him to explore, but he didn't have time for that, he had to see if that blast had hurt Nadia, so he decided to give this wet dream a premature end by pinching his cheek.
But as soon as the nails scrape his skin his plan went downhill as he was still awake, even more so than before, this wasn't a dream, he was fully awake.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!" a loud yell coming from behind him catched his attention, turning around he saw the source of the noise, Van, who was yelling, his whole frame shaking, seemingly on the verge of tears, what could have possible traumatized the spriggan so much?
"I can't let him see me like this!" the spriggan whined, burying his face on his hands, his sobbing echoing on the sewer's walls, "I'm so ugly! Now Swin would never love me!"
"Love him? Did the beam scramble his brain?" the boy thought as he walked up to the crying man, standing right next to him as he spoke, "I'm standing right here"
Those simple words seemed to hit Van like a bucket of cold water, turning around to see "Elaine" it was clear to see he was shocking, his eyes growing wide as they lay on her, with quivering lips he proceeded to ask, "Su-chan?"
"Yes?" Swin raised an eyebrow in response, having a bad feeling about that nickname, if he had ended in Elaine's body, was it possible for "Van" to be in the same situation? He hadn't reacted like he assumed Elaine would at seeing her own body being controlled by someone else and had used that nickname and mentioned him, which only left one choice, "Nadia? Is that you?"
A quick nod was the only answer she gave him, he could see her face turned red as she briefly looked at him, just to quickly hide get visage with her palms, restarting her sobbing.
Swin wasn't entirely sure how this had happened, nor why they had ended up this specific bodies but he couldn't stand watching his partner's sister crying, even if she didn't look at like herself, so he walked up to her, stumbling a bit due to Elaine's heeled boots, and placed a hand on top of Nadia's head, "Don't worry Nadia, I'll always love you! You're like a little sister to me!"
"Waaaaahhhhh!" the sobbing increased as the head patting continued, with the girl rocking back and forth for a few more minutes.
Eventually she stopped, looking up to Swin, it was bad enough that she had been turned into a gross guy but why did he had to end up in Elaine's body? Now that he had easy access to her breast he would never forget, and would never even think of dating someone as flat as her! The girl shook her head as he mind played tricks on her, images of Swin chasing after the blonde like a moth would to a flame.
Her nightmares came to an end when Swin offered her a hand, she was tempted to pick it up, after all he was still Swin inside but as her hand was about to let his, she looked at his borrowed face, that fair skin, that platinum blonde hair, those intense blue eyes, Eliane was so stunning! And that just made Nadia hate her more!
"Gah!" she shouted as she slapped Swin's hand away, how dare he end up that floozy's body!
"Nadia? Where are you going?" Swin asked as he saw her walking away, deeper into the sewers, opposite to the blocked path, he wanted to ask what had gotten under her skin, beside the whole body swapping mess, but she was already too far away, not wanting to be left behind he followed her lead, clumsily stepping on his new heels, barely avoiding falling to the ground.

"..." silence engulfed the room as Van and Elaine finally found a way out of the sewers, just to find their doppelganger standing right there, none muttering a word, letting the awkwardness fill the room.
Van could only assume Nadia was inside his body, that was the only answer he had to the killing stare she was giving him, before he had time to break the ice, she walked up to him.
"You brute!" she shouted, snatching the muddy bear out of his hands, "What did you to my bear!?" after recovering her possession and getting a close look of Van, she had to contain her desire to tell at him, her hair untangled, her corset dirty, her skirt ripped, her boots filled with mud, "You..." she gritted her teeth as her glare got intense, "You're making me look like a street urchin! How can you be so reckless, don't you see I'm a pretty girl? My body looks so ugly! Why-" she continued whining, shaking her arms up and down.
Van just sighed in her response, paying no mind to the girl's rant, his eyes instead shifted to Swin, the boy now inhabiting the Sword Maiden's body just looked at his friend yell her lungs out, by the way he seemed to be slightly rocking forward and backward he also had issues walking on a girl's shoes, something Van wholeheartedly understood, knowing talking with Nadia would be a lost cause, he walked up to Swin.
But as he gave the first step, Nadia's heels reminded him he hadn't bested then yet, making her trip, but just like before, his fate didn't met the ground thanks to someone's intervention, Elaine.
"Van, could please stop antagonizing this girl? I just want to see if they know something about the swap" his friend said, turning him around and helping him back on his feet.
"I-I'm not antagonising anyone! She's the one who stared this!" he tried to defend himself, trying to avoid looking directly at her new face.
Meanwhile Nadia had stopped her rant, somehow Van had managed to make her even more mad, the way Elaine had catched him, how their faces were so close, how his face was redder after he tried to avoid looking at Elaine, they look just like lovebirds, the handsome Knight that picked up the clumsy damsel! That jerk has stolen such a romantic moment from her, how dare he! "I'll never forgive you, Va-chan!" she gritted her teeth, staring daggers at him.
"Nadia, please calm down" Swin intervened, standing between the two groups, "Um, Van, Elaine, do you have any idea what happened to us?"
"It was the beast, after it attacked us something in it's beam caused this, it's tye only explanation I can find" Van said, turning his back on the group, crossing his arms and looking back at the way into the sewers, "I say we go down there and hunt it down, if it attack us again it might swap us back"
"Yeah, I agree! I don't want to spend another minute as an ugly guy!" Nadia agreed, standing next to Van as it seemed the two were about to go face the beast on their own.
"Wait a minute, we're in condition to fight anything" Elaine argued, quickly waking in front of the duo, blocking their path, "I say we get out of her, rest see if we can swap back another way and if that doesn't work come back here and hunt it down, what do you say?"
"I agree with Elaine" Swin echoed her thoughts, "I can barely walk in Elaine's body let alone fight, and you seem to be on the same page Van"
"And what about me!? I don't want to stay like this, and I can still fight!" Nadia argued, stopping her feet like a brat.
"Nadia" Swin let out a sigh, "I don't want to stay like this either but we have to recover, and who knows maybe we can find something to swap us back, also what would happen if you fight that thing alone? Will you swap with it? Don't you think that's way worse than being Van?"
Nadia shuddered at the thought of ending up like that beast, reluctantly walking back to the exit, Van on the other hand tried to go find it but Eliane blocked his path, practically dragging behind her.

It didn't take long for the group to leave the sewers, back on the street Van spotted Agnes on the distance, they were supposed to meet up with her after beating that thing, but those plans were put on hold at the moment.
"Van? Is that you? What happened, did you catch it?" Agnes asked as she walked up to the group, only yo be met up by silence, Van and Nadia's eyes met, neither of them wanted to be here at the moment but seemed to share the opinion that the best choice for them would be...
