Author's Note: This is based on an answer to a tweet that Wels gave to a fan. I liked it, so I did this.

 Enjoy.

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

 Wels's POV:

 My head spun like a top as I opened my eyes and faced the white walls. I blinked as I rolled onto my back as words seem to enter and exit my ears.

 " This should work... You'll end up as a weaker hermit, and I'll be able to beat you!" 

 The voice was mangled, and I could barely understand them through my stuffed ears. I'm just lucky that I was able to hear what was said. 

 I frowned at the words that were spoken by the unknown person. 'Weaker hermit'? None of us are weak unless the person meant a hermit that wasn't too great of a fighter. I twitched slightly and something felt.... wrong. 

 I took my arm out of the blanket and stared at the grey, metallic arm. I raised the blanket and stared down at the red chest and animal-like legs that ended with black, hard markings and two cloven hooves. Also, I had a long, red tail that had black things sticking out of them. I think I heard Zedaph calling them feelers. 

 Twitch.

 The tail wiggled when I thought about it twitching. My eyes widened as I forced myself to sit up. My new arms whirred as I reached one up in order to touch my face. A muzzle. A muzzle with what felt like a scar due to some torn skin. Skin? Scales? It was one of the two. 

 I frowned as I stood up and turned towards a full body mirror that stared at my body. My tail lowered and so did the black feelers on either side of my side. I blinked, " Am I... Am I Xisuma?" I questioned in the Brit's famous voice. 

 My tail swished as I frowned and looked myself over. Why would whoever did this consider X a weak hermit? Was this their spell messing up? If it was, then this is kinda funny that it backfired on them. 

 The real question is though. Who did this?

 It couldn't be another hermit because none of us would call another weak. 

 It couldn't be Stumpt or Sparklez's group because none of them have the ability to swap. Well, not that I know of anyways. Jasmine could know some magic, but I don't think that she'd sneak all the way out here in order to do this to me. 

 None of the Evolutionists know magic, and the hermits wouldn't pull a mean spirited prank. Also, even though Void could have some sort of vendetta, he's decided to not harm anything anyone unless they cause harm themselves.

 My tail wiggled as I rubbed at the bottom of my muzzle. I looked around the room and spotted some armor and a shirt on top of the nearby dresser. Good, now I don't need to go hunt for some clothes. The thing is though... Is X even considered naked as a strider? I know that Doc can wander around without his labcoat, but can X do the same without his chest piece and undershirt? 

 I shook my head. I shouldn't test the waters and just get these clothes on. If Void comes in, I don't want him to question me on what's happening. I don't even want to explain to him that his brother in currently asleep in my body, and that I don't know how it happened. 

 I put on the clothes and shook slightly. I looked at my red skin as it slowly became purple. Right, right Xisuma gets turns purple... When he's cold. I need to find him soon. I don't really know how to deal with this, and I don't want to take a plunge into some lava. 

 My tail shook as I put my elytra on and headed for the exit of X's base. I was lucky that I've been here a few times for group dinners and such because this place is a very, very big maze. I climbed the stairs until I reached a balcony for elytra flying. 

 I took out a rocket and lit it. My tail twitched as I jumped off into the air and awkwardly flew into the air. The tail dragged awkwardly behind me as I hurried towards my base. Hopefully, X hasn't left my base yet, and I can still catch him. 

 I fired off another rocket and sighed. The trees zoomed below me as I finally, finally came upon my base. I still can't believe how gigantic that jungle is. My feelers perked up as I spotted Xisuma, in my body, slowly wandering out of my base. The hermit was swaying more than a tree in a strong wind as I quickly glided down. 

 " Xisuma?" I called out as I hurried towards him. The admin looked up at me as he stopped walking, " W-Wels?" he questioned as I landed next him. X's ears twitched as he gently rubbed at the horn on his head. 

 " I... I don't feel great... " X mumbled as his ears went down. I nodded, " It's... It's probably the magic weakness, ya know?" I told him as he laid his head against my shoulder. The hermit's tail twitched as he slowly put his arms around me; it was strange being hugged by yourself.

 X sighed, " Hhooow did this happennn?" he questioned as I took him back inside. My tail twitched as I shivered and forced X back into bed. I shrugged my shoulders, " I... I think Hels did this to us..." I told him causing him to nod, " Okkkkay...." he rolled onto his side and curled up. The admin's tail curled around him as he stuck his tongue out.

 My shoulders dropped. There's no way that I can talk to X about this properly when he's in this state. I'm just glad that I got to him before Hels did. If Hels got to Xisuma in this state, then he would surely be captured and harmed... 

 I opened up the inventory I had and brought out a bed. My tail twitched more as I set the bed down and curled up under the blanket. I watched X for a little while until he was fast asleep then I fell asleep too as my scaly skin slowly became red.
