"Oh scheisse, not again!"
The words were followed up by the prompt casting of a exorcising spell, designed to release someone from a possession. Cast on a person who had no spirits tagging along, however, it had the side effect of knocking them right on their ass - thus Rhonda was suddenly knocked to the ground, much to the surprise of Sofia. Abigail, meanwhile, was right on her feet, wand raised and pointed at the german girl as she screamed out the rather obvious question of the momment. "What the hell?!"
Blinking rapidly, Sofia looked between Abigail, now about ready to throw hands, and Rhonda, who was groaning as she got back onto her feet. "What... but..." She shook her wand, as if trying to figure out whether it might have been getting defective on her, or if she'd screwed up the spell, or any number of other problems might have occurred. "You're... you're not possessed."
"No," Rhonda groaned back, rubbing her head. "Why did you think I was possessed?"
"Beeeeeeeecause you're suddenly back to normal Rhonda? And you were cackling like a supervillain, which you only ever do when you're possessed by like... an ancient drider queen, or whatever?"
"I'm not back to normal." She pointed to her head. "Red hair. I don't normally have red hair."
"Rhonda, half an hour ago you were a four armed slime-rubber-doll-dragon with huge boobs. Compared to that, this is normal."
"...alright, fair."
Abigail let out a little sigh as she lowered her wand. "She's not possessed by anything. It turns out our friend here is a sorceress - and her powers involve transmutation." She gestured to Rhonda. "Apparently, she's the luckiest girl in the academy - she has a baked-in loophole to get out of the school curse."
All that was a lot to take in, which might have been why Sofia sidestepped the truly important revelations to fixate on something else entirely. "Our friend?"
Sensing that shit might be about to go down, Rhonda quickly stepped in. "We're... turning over a new leaf." Literally, she stepped in between the two longtime rival witches, hoping that they wouldn't be quite so full of spite for each other so as to risk making Rhonda collateral damage. "For real this time. No lying, no scheming, just... trying to get along."
There was a dual set of very quiet growls, one from each of the witches, but the tension finally broke when Sofia spoke up again. "...fine. Just don't expect me to get all buddy-buddy with her." The reluctant acceptance left her with no choice but to focus on the other thing. "You sure you're a sorceress, and this isn't just another temporary superpower thing? I mean... if you were, I'd think it would have activated before now..."
"I think the merging set it off," Abigail interjected, biting back any venom to keep to rational explanation. "Merging temporarily with three different witches - and having your core so embedded into her, and being at such a late stage of puberty - was a big enough jump-start to activate her magic potential."
"And it's fucking awesome!" Rhonda quickly added, morphing her hands into a doll-like state, then back to draconic, then back to human, all in rapid succession. "Goodbye, punching bag for every bizarre transformation, hello, getting to turn into whatever the fuck I want to turn into!"
Abigail started to open her mouth to correct the latina, but decided to avoid ruining the moment. "She can transform other people, too. I don't think she can put them back to their original forms, but anything she's been turned into since the merge, she ought to be able to give others features of, or induce full-blown transformations."
This would've been a lot for anyone to take in, but Sofia was taking it in stride. Years and years of bizarre shit with complicated rules, all the convoluted interlinking of events from their past... it had, to a degree, desensitized her to these sudden swerves and twists in life. "Right... I guess it was inevitable that you'd get a magical ability one day that actually stuck." At least this wasn't one of the more hyper-destructive powers. She still shuddered to imagine when Rhonda was briefly a were-kaiju. "You might not want to parade around in human form though. It's gonna raise some eyebrows... and might get the pricinpal coming down on your head."
Rhonda rolled her eyes. "Screw that. I'm gonna walk around looking however I like." She puffed out her chest, and on command, it grew larger - she was nothing if not shameless about her appreciation for a large bust. Especially when it was on her, thus replacing her normally flat and depressing chest. "I finally get to be in control of my own body, and I'm not letting that go to waste!" She marched right out the door, not even giving the two girls a chance to protest - she didn't want to hear it.
It felt like she had a whole new lease on life right now. At long last, after so many years of getting jerked around, turned into this and that - she was the one getting to change her shape, getting to toss out transformations left right and center. Excitement filled the air around her as she strode boldly towards her next class - and as if the day couldn't get any better, as she marched, she found herself crossing path with May, the doll-dragon-mashup girl looking bewildered at spotting a normalized Rhonda. "Hey, how did you-"
She was cut off as the newly emboldened Latina dove right in, putting her hands around May's face and pulling her in to a kiss. A moment of surprise gave way to May just sort of accepting it, intrigued by this sudden development, and throwing her arms around Rhonda, neither girl caring about the people who walked by, whispering and giving them odd looks. As they kissed, Rhonda let out a soft moan, allowing her arms and legs and body to begin shifting. Skin became hardened and white, doll-like just as May was, rapidly adjusting her joints and making her look much like the girl she was making out with.
Fully dolled-up by the time she pulled out of the kiss, she smiled down at May. "Turns out I can do some real cool shit," she explained, before planting her lips against May's forehead. Instantly, the magic within her began to affect both of them - white doll skin morphed into a scaly coating, all extra features save for draconic ones melting away from May as Rhonda's own body re-manifested her wings, red scales, claws, tail, and horns. May was shivering with delight through the whole thing - entranced, and downright amazed at what the object of her affections could now do.
She had classes to get to - so did May. But... god, she wanted to just drag the other girl off somewhere and go crazy with these powers. Hadn't she earned the right to that at this point? Surely, after all these years, she had earned one afternoon of skipping out on classes to just enjoy herself with this amazing girl.
