Chapter 21: Rainbow Sakura

Currently Ben, Erza, Natsu, Lucy, Gray, Wendy, Carla and Happy are up their way to the top of a mountain. Why are they doing this? A job request came in for a rare herb that is rumored to double a wizard's strengths and powers by a hundred.

The plant in question just so happen to be at the top of a mountain. "Man its cold" Lucy and Wendy said, "if you don't mind, maybe I can heat you up?" Ben asked. He turned his hand into Heat blast and increased the heat coming off.

The two had stood near the alien hero, "that's better" Wendy said satisfied. "Turn it up Ben, I'm not freezing on this mountain, you'd think I'd learn not to climb this thing again by now" she said.

Carla then looked to them, "though I admire a chivalrous man, you should let Wendy brace through the elements" she said. "Like you have any room, you've got a coat of fur that keeps you warm" Ben retorted.

Carla then blushed and turned away, "okay you have me there" she admitted. The eight had made it far enough up, Lucy decided to climb inside of her clock celestial spirit Horologium.

Wendy was in there too, "almost to the top" Ben said as Omni. Then the clock spirit disappeared leaving the two girls shivering. "See I told you" Carla said, "I'm not really up for another heater simulation so how about I turn you into aliens that can live in the cold" Ben suggested.

The whole team looked at him funny, "is that really a good idea?" Gray asked. "Sure I mean you guys were Way Big once and Erza's been Swampfire for a short while" he replied. All of a sudden a loud roar of a certain pink haired fire breather startled the alien and he accidentally shot the two with Omnitrix patches.

Wendy grew large and she appeared as a quadruped no tailed lizard with a sort of black shell and blue fins running down her back. The fairy tail guild emblem on her right shoulder.

Lucy's skin became pure black and various shades of blue. Her hand morphed and her fingers became claws. Her feet grew two toes in the front and one near the heel, her face appeared as a skull and her mouth only showed her teeth. She grew four large moth like wings on her back and two antennas. He right hand had the Fairy Tail emblem on it.

The two had looked at each other, baffled by their new forms, oh and they each had hair on top of their heads. "Huh, Arctiguana and Big Chill" Ben inquired, "huh? What can these do?" Lucy asked. "Well your form Big Chill can become intangible and pass through solid objects, fly and breathe ice blasts" Ben explained to the blonde moth alien.

Wendy then tapped his shoulder, "And this one?", "Arctiguana? He is able to breath ice beams from his mouth, his shell's pretty hard and he can ice skate very well" Ben said. Lucy flew upwards tried to glide and found it was quite easy.

"Hey this isn't so bad" she admitted flying down, "Neat" Gray commented. Erza nodded, they then heard a familiar yell come from the top of the mountain. "Uh guys, little help?" Natsu called, the group rushed up.

When they got up there they saw the dragon slayer trying to fight off a large white wyvern trying to defend the herbs. "Looks like we're gonna have to do this the hard way" Omni said growing to Humungosaur's full height.

Lucy and Wendy charged at it, the icy moth turned intangible and phased through. This immobilized the reptile long enough for the others to get a clear shot. "Hey this is easier than I thought" Lucy said with confidence.

Natsu hit it in the head with a fire dragon iron fist, Gray froze its leg and Erza struck it with her lightning empress armor. The wyvern broke free but only after Ben grabbed it in a headlock.

"Okay listen buddy, I won't hurt you okay? We only want a few of your ferns" he said. The dragon like creature didn't comply and put up a fit and went on a rampage. It tried to smash Ben only to be get thrown into a painful pile driver.

"Oh yeah.. boo yah" Ben gloated clearly using Rath's brain. "Woo hoo we got a big haul" Wendy and Lucy exclaimed as they held a lot of buckets filled with the plants. The wyvern broke out and went crazy, it hit a mountain and an avalanche started.

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHH" the two screamed before getting covered in ice. The others had made it to safety, "do you see them?" Erza asked. Ben had grew Stink Fly's wings and got a birds eye view. The alien saw ice form over an area of the snow and a loud shattering.

"Yay we made it" Wendy exclaimed dragging the ferns behind her. "You bet" Lucy added, "so how are we gonna get this down?" Gray asked. Wendy smirked "hey Ben, you said that Arctiguana can ice skate right?" She asked.

"Uh yeah why?" Ben replied, a few hours later they were sliding down the side of the mountain in a small ice cart made by Gray. Wendy used her new ice breath to create a path down the mountain.

"I'm surprised you got used to your new powers so fast" Ben said, "I guess you're not the only one who's easily adaptable to powers" Lucy said smugly in her new moth like form.

Wendy tried to say something but unfortunately her frost breath restricted her from any speech. What sounded like muffles she actually said "yeah, and I think Arctiguana is now my new favorite alien besides Terraspin".

A loud roar emanated from above them, they all looked up to see the wyvern again and this time it wasn't happy. "Oh why does it keep chasing us?" Ben asked, "that wyvern is an herbivore, and it appears the herbs were its favorite snack" Erza explained.

"Looks like we'll need reinforcements" Ben said putting Omnitrix patches on Natsu and Erza. He turned Lucy into a different alien, this one looked like a velociraptor with small black spheres on its feet. A helmet like head, and a blue and white striped tail.

"Which alien am I now?" She asked landing in Natsu's arms. "XLR8, this one can move at extreme speeds" Ben said. He then turned Erza into a purple rock bodied and magenta crystal covered cyclops humanoid and Natsu into a brown skinned pteranodon like alien with glided like wings and a jet engine on its back.

"And this thing?" Erza asked, "Chromastone, he can shoot beams of energy and absorb them". Natsu then tried to breath fire on the wyvern but only shot an orange beam of energy.

"Huh?" Ben smirked at his confusion, "Natsu you're Astrodactyl, you're able to fly. In addition you have energy whips on your arms" Ben explained. The dragon slayer shot him a confused look then long cables ejected from his fore arms. He grinned, "okay, FIRE DRAGON TALON WHIP!!!" The dragon slayer turned alien threw a flaming whip at the wyvern and got it in the eye.

Erza smirked, "okay let me give it a go" she said bringing out her spear from her lightning empress armor "CRYSTAL PRISM BEAM" the tip of her blade shot a bright blast of ultraviolet light. This hit the wyvern again, it flew higher and attempted to get them from above.

Ben reacted and blasted it with a sonic scream which knocked it back. He then turned his head into Arctiguana's and shot it with an ice blast. Wendy saw that the creature was falling towards them then reacted. She faced the winged lizard and her magic circle appeared next to her face.

"SKY DRAGON SNOW STORM ROAR!!!!" The dragon slayer turned polar manzardil released a torrent of frosty air at the creature. This intern immobilized it more and launched it back up the mountain.

"Nice job Wendy" Ben complimented, "thanks" she said sheepishly. "Uh guys, we're running out of ice road" Gray said pointing to the quickly depleting path. "AAAAAAAAHHHH I LEFT MY POST TOO LONG!" Wendy screamed.

"I got this" Lucy said, the velociraptor like alien grabbed the cart by its back. Once the ice path disappeared she began to push it in a desired direction. "It's not enough" she said obviously losing grip on the ground.

The cart was heading towards a spike of ice.

Ben then turned to Natsu and Erza "okay you two fallow my lead" he said, the two nodded. Omni jumped out of his seat and stood on once side of the cart and used Astrodactyl's jet propulsion to push the cart out of the ice spike's way.

Erza stood at the front and blasted nearby obstacles with her new energy powers. Natsu jumped out gripped it with his whips. "Okay which way?" He asked, Ben got to the back and helped Lucy, "left" he said.

The cart shifted depending on Ben's desired direction. A large gap appeared in the road, "Wendy, Gray, when I give the signal, make and ice ramp" the shapeshifter said.

After getting a few meters from the gap, Ben yelled "NOW!!!" At the top of his lungs. The two blasted ice towards the gap and managed to create the ramp. "Okay, Natsu, just head straight, Lucy give it more throttle, Erza help me with an afterburner".

After being in this world the Fairy tail mages had a few lessons of Ben's world curtesy of Ben's friends and family. Erza got to the back and blasted behind the cart along side Ben to increase their thrust. A second later they were rocketed into the air and landed in the Streets of Magnolia.

"Well that was something" Gray commented, "he he, mind turning us back now?" Lucy asked. Ben fully obliged and changed them back along with taking back the Omnitrix patches. He was about to turn Wendy back "wait... mind if I stay Arctiguana a bit longer?" She asked.

Ben out in a puzzled look but agreed, she shot another ice blast to make a path to fairy tail. "You learn quick" Ben complimented turning her back and they all pushed the cart down the path.

They had finally reached, "nice job kids, good to see you back" Gramps said. "Yeah, and I actually expected the snow wyvern to be more than a problem for you really" Cana said.

"Great thanks for belittling us" Ben retorted, "relax in fact you got back in at least three hours, I had actually bet on three hours and forty minutes" she added. The rest of the guild nodded in confirmation, Ben then over heard a conversation between Cana and Mira about some flower viewing.

"Hey you two, what's this about a flower viewing thing?" He asked. "Oh hey Ben, funny thing tomorrow is the highly anticipated flower viewing party, the cherry blossoms are very pretty" Mira answered. "And that isn't the best part" Cana said, gramps then jumped over to them.

"The best part of it is when it turns to night the cherry blossoms turn a brilliant rainbow color" he said. "Really that sounds really neat" he said, "and were having a raffle to" Macao added.

"Do you think we'll win this year Dad" Romeo asked him, "not sure, we may have lost a few times before, but I'm confident this year".

Ben laughed, Erza then grabbed his arm, "you are coming to the flower viewing aren't you?" She asked pouting. "After all, I can't stand not having my big strong man during a romantic scene" this time she hugged his arm into her chest.

Ben felt a shiver when she hugged him closer, at this point he was so red you'd think Erza had put on her flame empress armor. "Uh of course I'm coming, why wouldn't I?" He chuckled nervously.

Erza smiled at him, "thanks sweet heart" she said then kissed him on the cheek. "Lucky man" Wakaba said, "very lucky" Macao added. A lavender haired mage nearby named Laki Olietta saw and walked over. "Say, looks like Erza wants to make Ben into a father" she said funny.

Ben was startled from that "NOT FUNNY LAKI, AND THAT'S A SERIOUS MATTER!!!" He yelled in embarrassed rage. "Though I think she already tried once" Gwen said from behind them.

"Not another word out of you cousin" Ben threatened, Gwen complied and stood down. Later on Romeo came by to Ben, "hey Romeo what's up?" He asked the kid. "Wendy said you turned her into an alien and well, mind doing me?" He asked.

Ben made a nervous chuckle, "maybe you should ask Macao for permission first" Ben said. Said fire mage walked up to them, "actually he asked me earlier, I'm actually interested, Wendy told me how easy control she had on her powers" he said.

A few more members came over asking for Ben to change them too, "how did I get myself into this?" He asked. Later on they all had a transformation to use for a short period of time, Romeo had become shocksquatch, Mira was Pesky dust, Elfman was Frankenstrike strike, Laki was Swampfire, and Levy had become Gray matter.

Later on Ben was laying limp on the table, "never doing that again" he said. "I see the transformation business is good" Erza said. "Sure laugh at your boyfriend when he's exhausted" Ben said trying to catch his breath.

Erza then hugged him, "I can't wait for tomorrow" she said. Ben looked to her then smiled, he gently rubbed her head "me too" he said. Happy then flew by and snickered, "ooh, maybe Laki was right about Erza making Ben into a da..." he stopped when he realized that the two had heard him.

The next day every guild member was at Magnolia's cherry blossom field for the viewing party. Each few teams had their own blanket to sit on, "man this is gonna be great" Natsu said. "Aye... sir..." Happy whimpered, Lucy looked to the cat with concern.

"Hey are you okay happy?" She asked, Ben and Erza cleared their throats. "Actually we sort of 'talked' with him after he made a joke referring to Laki's earlier statement yesterday" Ben said.

Lucy gulped, "oh what joke?" She asked, as if on cue the lavender head in question snuck up behind them. "Erza wants to make Ben into a Dad" she screamed. The shapeshifter was extremely flustered, he looked to Erza in search of support.

Only to see her in shock as well "WHAT!?!?!?!?!" Lucy exclaimed. Natsu and Gray spat tanker in response, "Laki" Erza said sinisterly. She trembled and ran off, Gwen came over and revealed that she made a sound proof barrier above them when the lavender head screamed.

"Me and Kevin thought you had enough of our teasing and decided to cut you some slack" she said. Ben thanked her, "thanks Gwen" he said, "not saying we won't stop though" she added.

"But for now, no more" she then walked over to her blanket with Kevin. Apparently they joined team shadow gear with Levy, Droy and Jet. Later on the real part of the party had started day had turned to night and the petals on the cherry blossom trees had turned rainbow.

Everyone stood in awe, Ben, who had Erza holding his hand, was also awe struck by the spectacle. "Well, the flower viewing sure was worth my while" he said. Then faced his girlfriend "however Erza" he said lifting her face to his.

"I may trade other days to see this since I got here, but not all of them" he said. "Which ones would you not sacrifice?" She asked, "the first time I laid eyes on you" he said leaning closer. Their fore heads touched, "you?" he said, "same, along with when you made that smoothie machine and our little battle" she said.

"Yeah, and the mission we went on" Ben then hooked his arm around her back, she put her arms on his shoulders. "Which is when we admitted our love, the date we went on" she rested she head on his collar bone,

The shapeshifter put his face to her hair and gently stroked her hair. "The times I spent with you, both good and bad. I wouldn't give those moments away for anything" he said. "Neither will I, the times we laughed", "we cried" , "and the... occasional embarrassment courtesy of Happy".

They looked into each other's eyes "you were the best thing in that's ever happened to me, and I don't ever want to lose you" they both said. "I may have been around a few times, but you're different. You weren't like everyone else, you're special"
He said.

Erza teared up a bit, "I never had a true relationship, other than Jellal, I never loved anyone" she said, "that was until you showed up". "Ben I have to admit this, when I saw you the first day we met, I had lost strength. I nearly dropped the horn I was carrying, I actually had to look away to hold it" Erza then looked down.

Ben lay her down on the blanket and he lay next to her. "At least you could control your blush, I was red when you talked to me" he said. "But know this, I promised myself to stay by your side, and no matter what I will keep that promise, even if I have to go the extra mile" he then had a back flash.

"Come on, where's the stinking... OW!!!! Stupid stalactites" came Ben's voice echoing through a cave.

Underground below lake scilora Ben had been in cave systems searching for something rare underneath. Currently he is in Omni mode using Armadrillo's powers to dig, "come on come on" his drill then hit something.

"Hmm?" He drilled the rock around and spotted something very bright. It was a large 100 carrot ruby, "yes, now only to find the alloy" he said speeding to something else.

Now he is in a mine shaft a few miles out from magnolia, currently he's shining light on a few rocks. "And... we... have... a..." he shined a light In a vain and it glowed bright golden. "winner!!!"

Now in his house Ben seems to be constructing something from the ruby and the gold he found. He took some gold and drilled a hole down the middle.

Then filed away the outside layer, after that young Tennyson had shrunk town to Gray matter size and cut the gold enough to make it a small ring of some sort. "And the final touches" he used his drill arm to make designs on his ring.

And the final touch was a small piece of the ruby on the top of it. Inside he engraved something in it, "for
You and only you, my heart will belong to no one else besides the red haired angel I fell in love with. Even if she is slightly anger prone I will never stop loving you" he said while engraving "Done".

Back with real time, Erza had blushed "tha... thank you Ben... those words mean a lot to me you know" she said. "It took a lot of courage for me to get it out" he admitted. 'However it's gonna take a lot more to say what I want to say' he thought. The only thing he could bring himself to do was kiss Erza.

The rest of the night went by with out harm, Ben had asked Erza to sleep over tonight, even though she was gonna sneak in anyway. They were fast asleep, Ben had been dreaming the same thing over and over again.

He silently woke up, "no one said love was easy, but I'll do it for her" he said to himself then went to sleep.
