Super Volume 2

Young Again

Zephyr's POV
Zane and I were just quietly doing paperwork when all of a sudden, a massive energy signal was spotted across town. It was so big that our magic alarms started blaring. We ran to the computer table immediately, and looked up the closest camera footage. "It's that mall again! There's some sort of spell being casted." Zane said. "I see that, Zane! If that spell blows, it could take out the shopping outlet across the street. Dad!" I shouted. Gabe teleported out of the table, and Arc teleported from upstairs. "Call all the adults. I've had enough of this stupid mall! You're all going to shut that down!" I ordered. "On it. We'll get the rest of Paws' team. Call The Arrows for us." Gabe nodded, and they took off. I turned to Zane and he was already sending them the alarm.

We tuned into all of their suit cams, and called in our assistants. April, Lucas, Peyton, and Gypsy all took a camera screen so we could watch from all angles. I turned on the sound and looked up at Gabe's camera. "What the fuck is that?" Zill groaned. A giant blue and pink sphere of magic was rising out of the center of the mall. "That's a spell. One that big is probably more powerful than you and Paws combined, meaning it could kill us all if we don't stop it." Gabe explained. "The only people with magic were those teenagers! You're saying they did that?" Gold asked. "No way. Kids can't cast spells this big. It's impossible." Gabe shook his head. The sphere got bigger, and broke part of the roof. "Can we talk about it later?!" Aurelia snapped. "What exactly do you suppose that we do?" Gabe asked. As soon as he said that, I sent an alarm to Charlie, and he called me. "I'm watching it too." He told me. "You have to help them. What can they do?" I asked. "The spell hasn't finished casting yet, otherwise it would have exploded. If they can disrupt it, the magic will disappear back into the Earth." Charlie explained. "Zane." I looked at him, as he started typing on the keyboard. "I'm on it! I'm doing it!" He nodded. He sent a message to Gabe, who opened it on his watch. "We have to disrupt the spell. Start firing!" He ordered. Aurelia made laser guns for those without anything to shoot, and they all started blasting at the sphere. It faltered for just a second, and then shot something out at each of our parents. "What was that?!" I yelled. All at once, every single one of them fell backwards, and collapsed. "Charlie what do we do?!" I shrieked. "Go to them! I'll get my kids to meet you there!" He hung up.

Zane and I suited up, and sped down the streets on our motorcycles to get there as fast as possible. As we got closer to the mall, there was a loud explosion in the distance. "We're too late!" I shouted. The ground started to shake, and we pulled off onto the sidewalk. A large wave of magic was heading our way, but strangely, it stopped as soon as it got to the parking lot, and disappeared. Zane and I shared a concerned look, and then drove on into the lot. Lizz and Kat flew down beside us as we pulled up to our parents. "Guys what happened?" Lizz asked. "I wish I could tell you, but right now I don't know." I shrugged. "Dad!" Zane ran over to him, but jumped back as he saw him. "Router! What's going on?" I asked. We walked over to him. Zane just stared at our dad's in horror, and when I looked over, I understood why. "Why do they look like that?" I asked. "That's the same way they looked on Earth twenty six." Zane noted. My eyes widened. "Was that an age spell?" I asked. Zane and I just stared at each other in shock for a moment. "Yep! And it's not just them!" Kat yelled. We looked over at her and she gestured down to The Arrows. "Paws' team too." Lizz added. I took a deep shaky breath. "What the fuck are we supposed to do now?" I asked. "Cyber?" Kat asked. I looked back at her, and watched as The Arrows started to stir. "Oh shit! Lizz, Kat, can you two teleport them into the power strike rooms at your lab?" I asked. "I got Paws' team." Lizz agreed. "And I got The Arrows." Kat nodded. "Hold on! We're missing someone!" Zane announced, and we looked back at him. "Where's Zill?" He asked. There was a short silence, in which The Red Arrow started to move. "No time! Teleport now! Separate rooms! Go!" I ordered.

When we got back to the lab, Charlie was in disbelief. "Oh god. This is bringing back memories." He groaned as he looked at Apollo. "How do we reverse something like this? I didn't even know this was possible!" I exclaimed. "Anything is possible, Zephyr. Zill brought Apollo back from the dead! But, spells like that and like this are extremely illegal. Mostly because of the unethical part of it, but also partially the massive amount of power needed to cast them. With the amount of magic used to create that spell... I don't know that anything we do will reverse it." He explained. "We need to call their kids. We need to make a plan. Zane, gather The Arrows. Lizz, get the idiots upstairs, and Kat, go fetch Cleo and Blaire." I ordered. They all ran off and I exhaled deeply. "It's gonna be ok. We've handled worse." Charlie assured me.

As the newly young Arrows started to wake up, we heard a loud thud from within the cell. We ran over to the glass door and I was stunned. "Get off of me!" Cyan yelled. "Never, you traitor! You'll be dead before I let go!" Gold snapped. She was holding him against the wall by the neck. "Get off of him!" Green pulled Gold away, and Red shoved her back into the rest of the team. "You three are gonna pay for what you've done!" Gold shouted. She pounced on them again, and Charlie immediately teleported them out of there. Red, Green, and Cyan appeared in the cell across from their team. I raised an eyebrow in confusion. "It's good to know the exact time that they've been sent back too. Most of them are still evil." Charlie sighed. "Who the fuck is that? What kind of sick bullshit have you gotten us into now, Red?!" Gold snapped. "I have no idea where we are! Not everything is my fault, you know!" Red snapped back. "Yeah, they did this a lot." Charlie groaned. "Hey! Where are we?" Cyan asked me. "Hell." I answered, and we walked away from them.

When everyone got back, they littered me with questions. "Are they ok? How did this happen?" Blaire asked. "Have they woken up? Are they evil now?" Retro asked. "Why am I here?" Cleo asked. "Shut up! All of you! This is stressful for all of us! Her dad is in there too! So just give her a second!" Santana snapped. Everyone stopped talking, and I took a deep breath. "Something is going on with the kids at that mall, and we're going to find out what. We need to find a way to switch our parents back to normal, and we need to find Zill! She disappeared when the spell exploded." I explained. "And what happens if we go in there? They all turned into teens. What does that mean for us?" Kara asked. "I don't know, but there's no way I'm sending you in there without some sort of insurance." I looked up at Cleo, and her eyebrows sprung up. "No! No way! You called me here as bait? To call the Fates for you? Nuh uh! I'm not doing it! I promised Alex." She crossed her arms. I teleported right in front of her and snatched her up by the shirt. "My father is a sixteen year old boy! Call your girlfriend!" I yelled, and dropped her. She was taken back, but eventually sighed. "Alex. We need help. Can you uh... can you help us... please?" Cleo spoke to the floor. "There's no way that actually worked." Retro huffed. Not a second later though, did a portal open behind Cleo. "Oh come on! You don't even answer my calls!" Retro exclaimed. Lemmy stepped out of the portal, and it closed behind her. "Oh! Hi Lem. Wasn't expecting you." Cleo greeted her. She waved to us. "Lemmy, can you protect us from whatever that spell is?" I asked. She raised an eyebrow, smiled, and shook her head. "Why not?" I asked. She shrugged and huffed a laugh. "The spell won't affect us, will it?" Retro realized, and Lemmy smiled at her. "How do you do that?!" Cleo shrieked. "And I assume you can't turn back our parents, or tell us where Zill is?" I asked. Lemmy shook her head again, and I sighed. "They sent you on purpose, didn't they?" I asked. She smiled and nodded. I groaned and wiped my hands down my face. "Arrows! Go check out the mall, and be careful. Kat, you and your team, go scout the city for Zill. Kara, Lizz, try to help me and Zane get something out of our parents." I ordered. Everyone nodded and ran off. "I'll start trying to figure out what was in that spell." Charlie told me. "Ok. Thanks Charlie." I groaned. Lemmy snapped her fingers and pointed to the cells. I got concerned and ran to the door. "Our parents are awake. Come on." I led them into the hall.
