Michael checks his flyers and identifies the new girl.

"Diona, have you come to join us on our quest?", Michael infers. 

"No, i'm gonna go meet up with Raffeyette. She went to try and gather the other girls to assist you in battling the sorcerer", Diona explains. She waves to them and runs off. Michael, Sera, Mandy, and Aitra head towards the stone fortress. They finally arrive outside it and find another black-haired girl nearby.

"I am Vessie. My sister Diona told you were coming this way", the girl reveals before Michael has a chance to check his flyers, "The sorcerer who cursed us is right inside this stone. While you four head inside, I will stand guard here in case Caligula tries to flee".  She shows them the door of the stone fortress and opens it for them. 

They find the sorcerer brewing some kind of potion. Caligula doesn't seem to notice them approaching. 

"Release the forest, and the girls, from the curse you cast", Michael demands. His shouting startles Caligula, who turns around in a hurry and splashes Michael with some of the potion. Michael suddenly shrinks to the size of a doll. Sera picks him and and places him on her right shoulder.

"He's so cute at that size", Aitra remarks. Mandy promptly punches her again. 

"I intend to use this potion on the plants and bugs in this forest. I cast my curse because all you girls running about in the forest and yammering on about flowers and boys was annoying me. However, since my curse bound you all to the forest, its caused the plants and insects that used you to lure in prey to grow much too large", Caligula explains. 

"Can you un-shrink Michael?", Sera inquires.

"Why would I help you brats", Caligula retorts. She points her staff, which is now dried off, at Sera and the others. The sorcerer begins firing spells at them.  The girls quickly scatter to dodge the spells.

"Get the staff away from her", Mantis suggests. Aitra fires webbing and uses ti to swing around the room. Sera deploys a volley of sticky trichomes. These hinder Caligula's movement, allowing Mantis to grab the sorcerer with her arm pincers and Aitra to grab the staff with her webs. She touches Michael with it and he returns to his normal size. She them attempts to kiss him, and Mantis punches her again. In the process, Caligula breaks free from the trichomes and rushes out of the stone fortress, shoving Vessie aside along the way. 

"You fools. I'll never lift the curse. You meddling girls deserve to stay in this forest forever, acting as bait for the forest's carnivores to lure in prey", Caligula remarks. She turns around only to see a flurry of white hair and a foot connects with the sorcerer's face, causing her to drop her staff and stumble away, falling into a trap hole.
