Chapter 8 smoothie mayhem
The next day the entire guild proceeded to fix their guild hall, everyone had worked double time Ben had used his powers to multiply himself by twenty and got to work.
"So that's basically how we got here" Gwen said to Ben's guild mates, they had all became members after they arrived.
At the moment the shapeshifter was currently tying two wooden posts together using spider monkey's silk, "okay that should hold" he said giving a thumbs up. Makorov then let go of the horizontal post "thanks Ben" he said.
The latter walked to another area, "huh kinda hungry, hey Wakaba, Macao is there any debris we need to get rid of?" He asked. "Uh yeah over there why?" Macao said, Ben then grinned hungrily then used upchuck and Eatle's powers to eat the leftover rubble, after which he burped loudly and released a large green cloud.
"Whoa what was that some sort of monster?" Lucy exclaimed, Cana looked up from her drink and looked around, "whatever the hell it was it sure was loud" she commented, "whoa that is one nasty stink" Natsu said gagging over the smell.
"If I know that smell anywhere, (sniff) (sniff) that has to be the gastrointestinal emissions of a gourmond" Rook said, "a what cat boy?" Elfmen asked.
"An alien life form, Ben used to turn into one he named Upchuck" Kevin said. "Whoa and if I knew that smell I can tell Ben let that out" Gwen said fanning away the green gas, "yeah sorry about that I kinda got hungry and ate the leftover debris we didn't need" Ben chuckled.
"I know what you mean, I'm starving" Grey complained, all of a sudden a stream of water hit Natsu in the head and walloped Grey after, "oh man, I'm soaked" the pyromaniac complained.
"Ow my head" Grey said, Ben took notice of what hit them which was a small pink lunch box, "I think that's a lunchbox" he said using Loadstar'a magnetic power to lift it up, "well what are we waiting for open it up" Natsu said.
Grey grabbed and opened it only to reveal that the food inside was arranged in the shape of his face, "whoa your face is edible" Happy said out of nowhere.
"I can't eat this it's too weird" the stripper said, he was now in his underpants.
"I'm full so you can have it" Ben said, the fire breather volunteered to take it off his hands until Erza showed up and whacked them, minus Ben who ducked when she swung, in the head with a large piece of wood.
"Who said you could take a lunch break?" She yelled, "hey is that supposed to be your face made out of veggies?" She asked looking at the lunchbox, Erza then stabbed a fork into food Grey's cheek which made the real Grey tremble in agony.
"Huh it's good" Erza said, Ben sighed in despair, "hey is anything wrong Ben?" Erza asked he brunette friend, "well other than being dragged off to be interrogated by the magic council, which was really annoying, now I have to deal with my new guests" he said.
"I thought you loved your family" Erza responded, "we thought you looked happy to see us" Kevin said, "believe me I am, but I kinda don't have much room in my house to let you stay" Ben explained.
"Don't worry cuz" Gwen said popping her head out from behind Kevin, "we'll only stay at your place for a little while and then we'll go on some jobs to get enough money to buy our own houses" she explained.
"Indeed if I am going to live in this world I'd rather live in my own place of residence" Rook said, "you don't mind if I bunk with you right" Jimmy asked the revonnahgander.
"Really I had thought you'd rather room with Ben" he replied. "Yeah but he seems to want his personal space right now and I'm willing to let him have some" the kid said.
"I think I'll work on a project when I get home" Ben muttered, Rook was the only one who caught that and got curious.
The day after Ben was walking to the guild carrying a large cube shaped object covered by a tarp, "wait until they see this" he said.
His temporary house guests were curious as to what he was carrying, they asked him but he said he didn't want to spoil the surprise to the guild.
"Oh so that is what it is, you've brought your favorite dink to this world now" Rook said seeing the machine as the tarp flipped a little.
"Spoil it and you'll be facing toe pick" Ben threatened which made the revonnahgander back off. When they got to the guild everyone was too busy to notice Ben carry in the machine.
When they got to the counter Mira was the only one who took notice, "hey Ben what's that thing you just carried in" she asked, "just a little project I was working on" he responded.
Ben then went Omni and shrank down and entered the machine, "just need to make sure everything is in working order" he said sifting around muttering things in techno gibberish.
"Hey Mira, Hey Gwen" Lucy said as the rest of her team walked in, "hi you five, what'll it be?" The white haired maiden asked, though Lucy's attention was drawn towards the cubist object Ben had brought in.
"Say Mira what's that thing under the cloth?" Grey asked,"That thing just a project Tennyson was working on" Kevin said, "oh he's here where is he" Erza asked.
Happy' curiosity got the best of him and he accidentally activated the machine.
With which a motor sound rang from along with agonizing painful screaming, "BEN" Rook exclaimed as he grabbed the tarp and removed it only to see his friend being shredded into green slime.
"Ahhhh who turned on the machine help" the small alien screamed until he was nothing but liquid.
Gwen grabbed the glass where Ben was in and poured her cousin into the floor, the slime started to reconstitute itself back into Omni who promptly turned back into his normal self.
"Ouch, okay who's the idiot who turned me into alien berry medley" He said angrily, everyone pointed to happy "uh oh" the poor cat chirped, "happy mind if I speak to to you in private" Ben said very sinisterly with narrow eyes and a dark aura.
"AHH NO THANK YOU" happy squealed running away only to be caught in spider monkey's web, "he got me" he cried, an hour later happy was pale white and dizzily walking.
"Sorry Ben" he said, Ben sheepishly scratched his head, "oops might have went overboard with the scare" he said before explaining what he brought to the guild.
"So what is this thing exactly" Romeo asked, "a smoothie maker, remember that drink I told you about, the one I really like? Well since my world is now gone I decided to make my own" Ben said.
He then pulled a lever that poured a pinkish liquid into a glass which Mira had washed for him after being turned into a smoothie himself.
He then handed it to Erza, "here Erza, you can be the first person in Fiore, no make that earthland to ever drink a smoothie" he said. "Um Ben I'm not sure" she responded until the shapeshifter cut her off with, "its strawberry flavored".
Due to her weakness for strawberries the scarlet haired mage drank the smoothie, "well" Ben asked, "its" she stammered, "its so good" she squealed.
Everyone was dumbfounded by Titania's uncharacteristic reaction, "I talk about weird" Natsu said, "yeah we've never seen Erza so..." Lucy said until Grey had finished her sentence "cheery?" He asked "yeah that" both said.
"Uh Erza" Ben said concerned, "you may want to stop unless you want to get a..." he was cut off by a pained screech, "AHH... my head why does it feel like it's going to... ouch explode" she's asked poking her temples.
"Yeah that would be the brain freeze, and before you ask no her brain is not frozen it's just the name of a headache from drinking to much of a cold drink" Ben said.
A little while later the rest of the guild had some smoothies, now they understood why Ben loved them so much, "man it's been too long since I had one" Kevin said.
Ben shot his matter absorbing friend a confused look, "what if you haven't forgotten Tennyson we were dead for a few weeks, we're starving for crying out loud" Kevin said.
"Oh yeah that's right sorry" Ben said, Kevin's dog Zed ran into the guild, "hey girl, where've you been?" Kevin said petting the alien dog on the head.
"I'm still having trouble seeing how that's a dog" Mira said, "if you haven't forgotten she's an alien dog" Gwen said, Rook then walked over to the bar counter looking like he was going to puke.
"Hey bud are you okay?" Ben asked his cat friend, "unfortunately I think not" he said, "I think it was that drink I had with that woman Cana" Rook then sat down, "let me guess Cana challenged you to a drink off didn't she?" Ben said with a smirk.
"Yes I think that is what she said", "dude Cana is Fairy tail's heaviest drinker, I saw her drink a whole barrel of alcohol straight from the barrel itself" Ben said right when the brunette in question boasted in victory, "you bet I am, ha ha" Cana laughed.
Gwen and Kevin sweat dropped, "also thanks for showing me how it works Ben" Mira said, the shapeshifter had taught the waitress how to work the smoothie maker, it had two different Lacrima in it, one that increased the amount of liquid in the machine and one that kept it fresh and cold. "So mind teaching me how to work this thing?" Natsu said banging on the machine, "hey cut that out you pink haired pyromaniac, I worked hard to build that thing" Ben yelled.
Grey had also approached the machine pressing a few buttons, "I'm also curious by how this works" he said, the ice mage had taken his shirt off, "GRAY KEEP YOUR CLOTHES ON" Ben yelled covering Gwen's eyes.
"Would you two cut it out your going to break it" Lucy shouted, Erza was about to intervene until Happy fell on a button that made the machine flood the guild with multiple smoothie flavors.
Everyone poked there heads out from the giant smoothie, "ah man now look at what you two did, you flooded the entire guild" Ben shouted, "YOU'RE GOING TO PAY FOR THAT" Erza yelled bursting out of the top.
"Whoever finishes cleaning the guild hall first gets the week off" Jimmy yelled, all the guild members started eating the large mess Ben was successful in eating large portions of the dessert.
By the end everyone was full, they were all tied so no one got the week off, "well on the bright side the guild hall's clean and the machine's not broken" Ben said.
Later on everyone went home, all groaning from their full stomachs, "later Erza, see you tomorrow" Ben waved to his scarlet haired love interest, "you and the red head seem close, any reason for that?" Kevin asked which made Ben blush.
"You like her don't you?" Gwen asked, Ben shrugged it off, "so what if I do, it's none of your business anyway" he said, "oh man Tennyson, if I wasn't dating your cousin I'd say you struck gold" Kevin said before his girlfriend punched him in the chin.
"Ow, sorry dear" he apologized, "anyway Ben I think it's good that you got a new love interest, maybe this one won't run away" Gwen said "thanks cousin, believe me when I say that she's definitely like a rose, beautiful to look at but dangerous to the touch, Erza's an excellent fighter".
