Mighty's Book of Oneshots

Kidnapped (5)

Author's Note: more of the children. 

--------------------------------- 

 Mumbo's POV:

 I watched tiredly as Stress and Joe took little Void and Mighty down into Grian's homey area. Grian watched in confused as Iskall nuzzled against him happily. 

 " Who did this?" Grian asked as he wiped the sleep out of the corner of his eyes. I told him about what I found out from the others. The naga man, the lab, Rik and Doc's odd markings, and everything in between. This caused Grian to nod. 

 Grian ran his hand through the tired Iskall's hair. I watched quietly as Grian spoke to our younger architech, " What do you remember?" he asked as Iskall shrugged. Iskall curled up against Grian's leg, " Dunno... Just tired." he yawned as he rubbed his powered off cyborg eye. 

 The hermit nodded carefully as he moved Iskall's sleepy self to the pillow. Grian covered Iskall in the blanket causing him to close his eye. He fell asleep instantly. 

 The two of us smiled slightly at each other. Grian looked over at Ren and chuckled slightly. I looked over at him and smiled.

 Ren looked over at us as his ears twitched, " I.... I guess I'm stuck?" he looked down at Doc. Doc's tail was wiggling wildly as he slept. Grian cocked his head to the side, " How... How old is Doc exactly?" he asked as Ren looked down at his partner, " Three? He acts younger than that though. I think it's because of this cyborg eye not being on." he answered with a small theory attached to it. 

 I looked back at Iskall. I guess that's what's happening to him as well. Is it happening to the others as well? I was sleeping during that time, so I didn't really know the answer.

 I looked at the other child versions of the people. Rik, Price, and Zee were all sleeping soundly. The only little ones that I assume are awake is one very unhappy brother of an admin, and the fuzzy wolftiger hybrid. 

 I looked towards X and TFC. Tinfoil, who was also deaged but only to being in his early twenties, started to fall asleep on the couch. His eyes closed as he yawned, " Hey Xxxx?" he mumbled as X looked back at him. X took out a blanket and draped it over TFC. The hermit nodded slowly and fell asleep himself. 

 X looked towards us, " Grian, Mumbo, do either of you know about magical anomalies?" he questioned as Grian fixed his glasses to his face. The hermit nodded and bounced up. Grian hurried over to X's side, and the new started to talk about the strange black markings. 

 By overhearing the conversation, it turns out that only Doc and Rik have those markings. There was this other problem that surfaced apparently. Mighty and Void had some abuse that looked like it happened pre-deaging.

 My leg bounced slightly as I looked at the door. Mighty's tail was twitching as Stress held her, " See? You're fine..." Stress smiled slightly as Mighty kept sucking on the stuff animal tiredly. Mighty was gently lowered into a crib and covered by some blankets. Joe did the same thing with Void, who was still fast asleep in the hermit's arms. 

 Ren stood up and held Doc in his arms, " Need some clothes Ren?" Stress asked as Ren nodded. The two, technically three, walked down the stairs and disappeared into the shadows. Joe came over to me and sat down. He tiredly fixed his glasses, " Mighty..... is quite the bity little one. I suppose that's what happens when a small mammal is woken up from an enjoyable slumber." Joe showed me some bite marks that although didn't dig deep into his skin, it did cause some minor bruises to form. 

 I frowned at him, " You should let X check you out...." I told him as he shrugged, " After he's done figurin' this situation out. " he mumbled as he fixed his glasses. The two of us sat there and started to talk about the little ones. 

 Well, we would've had that conversation, but Joe fell asleep against me. I looked up at the others to find that everyone was fast asleep by now. I put Joe down onto a different bed. I then went back to my own bed and curled up. Grian appeared next to me.

 Grian let out a sigh, " Those weird vines. It seems like they're keeping Rik and Doc stuck in their current forms." he mumbled as I nodded. Grian continued to mumble about the weird snake man that X and the others encountered. He had the idea that the snake man's venom had influence in each of the regressed people.

 I nodded as Grian fell asleep against me. Why they went to their certain ages? Well, I don't honestly know. I looked up as Ren and Stress came back up the stairs. Doc was sucking on a chew toy; his tail was wagging as he rubbed his head against Ren's beard. 

 " Is he....." I tiredly cocked my head to the side.  Stress nodded, " The little ones have to wear a diaper Mumbo. " She spoke tiredly as I nodded. Doc made a weird noise as he sucked on the toy. Ren carried him over to a crib and laid him down. Doc dropped the toy to the ground and curled up under a blanket.

 Ren laid down on his bed, and Stress did the same. He yawned and curled up in his bed. The hybrid's ears twitched a she fell asleep. His leg kicked in his sleep.

 I laid Grian down onto the bed and yawned. I laid my head down onto the pillow and fell asleep.
