((In true news. We're 19 days away from my DeviantArt anniversary and my own b-day.))

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Price's POV:

 I groaned as I rolled myself over. 

 How did I get on the ground though? Everything honestly hurt to much for me to care.

 There was an odd feeling in my hand and legs as I picked myself up. I groggily opened both of my eyes and looked behind me and gasped. 

 I had one human leg and a peg leg. 

 " Oh god...." I clasped my now human hand to my throat.

 Why was I Rik?

 I looked across the room to find the others plus my own body still fast asleep. I dragged myself across the ground to the wall and forced myself up.

 " Th-there goes the vertigo...." I put my head against the wall and gasped out. Rik was tall, and his lack of a leg didn't make it any better. I clasped my head with my new hand and looked down at my clothes.

 Rik's original clothes had shifted to my white under shirt and green vest. The good news that that I had pants on now.

 I lifted my hand up more and took the pair of goggles off of my head, " I honestly don't need this..." I dropped the goggles into my inventory. 

 Ash's body let out a groan. I perked up and looked at him. His steampunk shirt had changed to a blue flannel shirt.

 I froze.

 That's exactly what Jasmine is, no, was wearing.

 Does that mean that the two of them swapped?

 I looked over at Jasmine to find that she was wearing a copy of Ash's clothing.

 " That's going to be awkward when they wake up." I mumbled with a shake of my head. It's either they wake up on their own and freak out, or I wake up and calm them down before things turn scream-y.

 I prefer not getting my new ears blown out so soon. I decided to go with Jas first given how she's the calmest out of the whole group. 

 " Jaaazzzzzy. " I carefully leaned down next to her, him?, and took their shoulders. Jas let out a growl as their tail and ears twitched.

 " Jasmine! Wake up!" I growled as I shook them more. 

 Jas's eyes slowly opened as they rolled onto their back, " Rik? Why are you dressed like Price?" they questioned as they moved their hand to their throat and suck their tongue out.

 " I am Price!" I told them as I held out my hand. Jas looked at me then down at themselves, " O-oh.... Oh my god...." they mumbled as they ran a hand through their hair.

 Jasmine took my hand, and I slowly pulled then up. I crossed my arms with a frown, " So..... So I'm Ash now? What the actual hell....." he mumbled as he scratched at his beard.

 The two of us looked down at Ash and Rik. They were both sleeping peacefully. Rik's leg twitched as he curled up further on the chair. 

 I tapped my peg leg on the floor, " Do you want to wake Ash up while I handle Rik?" I asked as Jasmine shook his head, " The two would honestly panic if they saw their own faces looking back at them." he pointed out as I nodded.

 I walked over to Ash as Jasmine went over to Rik.

 Ash twitched slightly, " Ash....." I mumbled as I shook their shoulder. The once-bear hybrid twitched more.

 " Let me sleep....." she spoke groggily as I shook her again. I picked up the glasses and held onto them. 

 " We have more pressing matters then sleep Ash." I growled as I jabbed Ash with my peg leg. This action caused Ash to stand up, " Fine Rik. Geez man. " Ash's eyes opened with shock at the sound of their new voice.

 The two of us looked at each other in silence, " Yeah. You're stuck in your wife's body." I shrugged as I shoved a hand into my pocket. 

 Ash blankly stared at me with their mouth agape, " and yes, I am actually Price." I continued as I helped Ash up. 

 We both looked over at Jasmine as they helped Rik stand up, " Your hooves and tail are annoying Price." Rik grumbled under his breath as I nodded, " Your leg is also a hassle Rik." I snarked back.

 Jas and Ash both let out sighs. The two were eyeing each other up and down, " This feels very uncomfortable." Jas pointed out as Ash nodded in silent agreement. I handed Jas the glasses and she put them onto Ash's face.

 " This should make it better for you." Jas sighed as Ash blinked. He/she smiled as Jas slightly. We all sat down on the couch. 

 Rik's tail twitched in annoyance, " What were those orbs exactly?" he questioned as I crossed my arms, " Those had to be our souls...... Our very beings...." I theorized as the three nodded.

 Jasmine leaned forward slightly, " How did we all get swapped though? None of us ate or drank anything that could cause it." they pointed out. 

 The four of us thought for a moment until Jasmine's communicator beeped loudly. Jasmine jumped slightly and opened the messages.

 " Who is it from?" Ash questioned as Jasmine scanned the message. They cocked their head to the side, " ImpulseSV." they reported and closed the message.

 " He's one of the hermits right? What did the message say?" I asked as Jasmine thought for a moment before speaking, " Yes Price, he is. Impulse said that there was a body swapping spell that spread, and it may have spread to some of the other servers. " they reported as the rest of us nodded.

 " Is there a way to change us back?" I asked as Jasmine shook his head, " No, none reported in the message. It'll send him a message about it though. " he spoke as he opened the messages and quickly typed. 

 After finishing and sending, Jasmine leaned back and Ash laid against Jasmine, " I see why you enjoy doing this." he mused as Jasmine let out a laugh. 

 We all sat around and waited for a reply from Impulse or the other hermits. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

 No POV:

 EX perked up the moment Impulse let out a small gasp.

 " What's wrong?" EX questioned in a tired mumble as Impulse waved him over. EX stood up and walked over to stand by the American's side. 

 Impulse brought up his messenger log on his communicator. The three men looked at each over at Zedaph read the message aloud.

 " Ahem. Hey Impulse, It's Jasmine. Ash, myself, Price, and Rik have all swapped due to this so called spell. Is there any way to reverse it in our world?" " Zed and EX looked at Impulse as he started to type back.

 " I mean, there isn't a direct way to swap back." Impulse began, " X along with Tango, Mumbo, Iskall, and Grian have left to central server to swap around everyone back and it worked.

 " The complicated thing is that your server and any other servers affected haven't been swapped back yet. Maybe you guys will have better luck finding a cure, but if not, you need to travel to central server." Impulse finished and sent the message.

 EX crossed his arms, " Speaking of my brother and crew....." he looked around, " When will they get back?" he flinched as if he was going to be hit.

 Zedaph and Impulse looked at each other, " Soon?" Zedaph tilted his head with wavering optimism. Impulse patted Zedaph on the shoulder. 

 The three let out a sigh.

 " Hey Biffs.... How's Joe?" Zedaph asked as Biffa turned towards the ground. Biffa let out a sigh, " He's fully healed, but....... but he's muttering some odd stuff under his breath."

 The three men looked at each other as EX stood up. EX awkwardly crossed his arms, " What was he muttering?" he questioned as Zedaph and Impulse stood up at well.

 " Death is a p p r o a c h in g y o u V o id...." Biffa's voice drew dark and twisted causing EX to take a step back. 

 A gooey hand grabbed EX by his leg and hoisted him up in the air. Biffa's body soon morphed to that of the long, black, oozing creature.

 EX looked around him to find nothing but darkness. The world melted around him to find nothing but darkness itself.

 The creature's hand morphed to that of a sharp spike,

 " G o o d b y e V oi d..... S a y h e ll o f o r m e...." the creature spoke as EX turned to run away.

 The next feeling he was met with was a spike through his back and the color leaving him as he coughed out blood.

 Now for the reason ending:

 " Hey Biffs.... How's Joe?" Zedaph asked as Biffa turned towards the ground. Biffa let out a sigh, " He's fully healed, but....... but he's muttering some odd stuff under his breath."

 The three men looked at each other as EX slowly got up. EX awkwardly crossed his arms, " What was he muttering?" he questioned as Zedaph and Impulse stood up as well.

 " That Tango and the others are in danger." he answered with his head down. The three looked at each other, " I shouldn't have told the stumpt group to go to the central server..." Impulse let out a small gasp.

 " Maybe Joe is just rambling?" Zedaph questioned as Impulse put his arm around him. The group all let out a sigh.

 " Maybe he is just rambling....." Biffa sat down in his chair and ran his hand through the sleeping Joe's hair. Joe let out a quiet sound as his hand twitched.
