She selects her Magical Girl Wand™ from the satchel strapped to the side of her skirt, and swings it sky-high, sparkling, staring solemnly into to the sky, spiritedly shouting the sentence “With the power of Soul, I am SOUL SOUL!” All perceived pigments in the perimeter pale to purple, as plentiful ribbons of pure purpureus protrude from the point of the rod, reams of red-blue wrapping round her wrists, removing her ragged raiments and replacing with royal rose robes, transforming her temper from tame to terrifying, a trustworthy trooper in the tussle between truth and treachery, as the glitter glistens off the glamerous gifted girl, good to go!
With a spin Soul Spring unhooks her staff from her back, spinning snowflake sparkles in the air, which fall as an incandescent curtain. A bright white light shines from her body, and with a triumphant cry, she calls “The Well of Justice! SOUL SPRING!” The snowflakes zoom inwards, clinging to her body and forming a gossamer dress of pale blue. Light silken gloves, pale and shining as the morning frost, appear on her hands, and a graceful bob of blond head explodes out of her head. With a final spin, she poses and points her staff, from the tip of which erupts a beautiful crystalline structure of shining icicles. Snowflakes burst from her radiance, showering her surroundings with a thin layer of sparkling white.
Stamping her foot on the ground, Soul Zephyr punches the air triumphantly. The beautiful blue gemstones on her bracelet send out rays into the sky above her. “The Breath of Life! SOUL ZEPHYR!” she cries. The air swirls around her, catching her up in a miniature tornado wreathed in rainbows. As she is suspended in the air, suddenly! An amazing electric blue dress, blue running shoes with stars all over, and bright blue ribbons! Everywhere! Luscious long blue locks tumble down her back, looking utterly perfect as she tosses her head and descends to the ground. She lands lightly, on her toes, as the last of the rainbows dissipate gently around her.
Her fists clenched, Soul Spark throws her hands into the air, sparks erupting from her hands and showering around her. “The Flame of Flame! SOUL SPARK!” she cries, and the sparks are engulfed by an inferno from her feet, her skin glowing fiercely bright as flames whirl around her, forming themselves into a blazing red dress. Her hair glows a spectacular golden red as it grows and falls on her shoulders. She raises a hand in the air, filled with flames, spins and throws the fire to the floor, throwing fiery sparks up around her as she grins.
Note: Soul Soil had no real hair in her normal form, due to her leukaemia - a fact she wished to keep hidden from her sisters. However, that was no fun for the group transformation gimmick. Instead, we had her partially transform in a secluded warehouse or similar, giving her just her hair in a dull form.
In a deft whirl, Soul Soil cartwheels across the ground, stomping the floor with her boots as she finishes. Beautiful flowers of all hues burst from where she stands, as she shouts “The Bloom of Nature! SOUL SOIL!”. Great petals of pink and white arch gracefully over her, before suddenly bursting away in a million pieces of flowery confetti, revealing luscious green hair adorned with immense flowers, a fitting corset seemingly laced with vines, and a bouncy petal dress. Framed in the perfection of the falling pink flakes, she steps forth with a twirl, a stunning juxtaposition of delicacy and strength.
Dropping down from <insert high place here> in front of Zephyr, light as a feather comes a lightning-blue haired girl in a matching dress, and a heart across her chest, twirling down gracefully as if carried by the winds, “Lighter than a feather, moving without a sound, I am LIGHT HEART!”
Walking out from the shadows, across from Light, facing Spark comes a girl with long, jet-black hair, in an equally dark lycra dress, again with the heart across it, in a glowing, ember orange, a cloud of darkness surrounding her, “I live in the shadows, what you see is my will, I am BURNT HEART!”
From the corner, a blue haired girl in an icy blue dress steps forward, frost forming on the ground as she walks, reaching out to a <insert body of water here> and freezing it solid, the heart on her chest a crystalline shape, “Beautiful, powerful, dangerous, cold, I am FROZEN HEART!” she cries, standing to face Soul Spring.
The flowers in the <insert grassy thing here> are seen to suddenly stand up, before falling off and disappearing altogether to reveal a flowery costumed girl with long green hair adorned with daisies, and a heart on her chest of the most hypnotic of volcanic rock, who steps forward, standing in front of Soil and cries, “The unmovable mountain, I am STONE HEART!”
“And I, Soul Sisters,” comes the voice from <implausible adamasite object>, which suddenly starts transforming, realisable too late as made from an Apocrymancer’s adamasite, moving to the ground in front of Soul Soul before shattering open revealing a young girl in a purple costume and curly, glowing purple hair, her heart also crystalline adamasite, “am HEART HEART!”
The Soul Sisters decided to transform to look like a bunch of wannabes for busking, so the following lines were added:
…But her costume looks like it’s been put together from charity off-casts – the corset is loose, the skirt is too short and everything just… itches, slightly.
…Except all the white is off-white, like it was accidentally washed with a new black pair of trousers.
…The shoes are grubby, the dress is floor-length and awkward to walk in, and all the beautiful ribbons are just pieces of blue gardening twine.
…But her hair is an unpleasant shade of off-red that looks like the dye reacted badly, and the dress is uncomfortably tight (and a bit too revealing)
…But she looks like she recently fell in a puddle of mud.
Stamping her foot on the ground, Soul Zephyr punches the air triumphantly. The beautiful blue gemstones on her bracelet send out rays into the sky above her. “The Breath of Life! SOUL ZEPHYR!” she cries. The air swirls around her, catching her up in a miniature tornado wreathed in rainbows. As she is suspended in the air, suddenly! An amazing electric blue dress, blue formal shoes with stars all over, and bright blue ribbons! Everywhere! Luscious long blue locks tumble down her back, looking utterly perfect as she tosses her head and descends to the ground. She lands lightly, on her toes, as the last of the rainbows dissipate gently around her.
When Source and Soil had collectively nabbed all the Transformation Items from the Sisters and Maidens, they got this:
Nell draws her wand from her pocket and whirls it around her. A wind whips up around her, blowing dust from the ground into it as she cries “With the power of lightning, SOUL SHOCK!”, from which there is a burst of yellow colour in the centre, and as the dust settles around her, Nell is wearing a beautiful yellow dress majestically rippling still from the wind as a black mask appears over her eyes and a shower of yellow sparkles fall around her as she waves her wand through the air again and strikes a stunning pose.
Source leaps from the vent and into the air, but flies upward with a gust of wind, before his armour blazes with light, a flurry of snowflakes spinning around him as he cocoons into a rock which turns into adamasite before growing and growing until it bursts open to a cry of “MROWR!!!!” as Source breaks free, ten times the size he was before, his armour an array of colour, with sparks of lightning, fire, shards of ice, rock and adamasite swirling around him as he flies into the air and up out of the roof with a trail of rainbows and destruction, knocking the chandelier loose as Spark fires fireballs after him, with pterodactyls laying chase from Heart, and Spring trying to block his progress with walls before having to jump out of the way as the chandelier smashes into the floor in a cacophony of smashing glass.
