Author's Note: A bit of a rushed end, but I didn't want this oneshot to go on for a long time like my other stories. I will like to note that what happens here is, of course, non-canon in the Mightyverse.

 Iskall's POV:

 When Grian got shrunk down, he bounced around like an excited dog. Grian flapped his wings and let out a sigh of relief, " I may not be human, but I can enter shops now!" he grinned as he started to fly around.

 I gave the British noodle a grin back as Grian swooped down and landed on Mumbo's back. Mumbo yelped and fell over at the sudden weight. Mumbo let out another snort, " You're suppose to be good at flying Grian!" he shouted as he rolled over in order to force Grian off. 

 " I am! I'm just too excited Mums!" Grian beamed as the two dragons stood up. I looked over at Cub as he looked at his communicator. Scar whispered something into his ear causing Cub to perk up, " Now, that's an interesting thought Scar." he mused as his tail shook. 

 Cub told us how Scar just had an epiphany about how we all changed. I looked at my flipper and used it to scratch at my neck. Grian cocked his head to the side, " What's the grand idea?" he questioned as Scar grabbed at the vines on his arms, " What if Renbob did this to us? We all knew that he had some odd fuel forces, and his odd backalley stuff that he sold." he frowned.

 Grian's ears perked up, " Wait, Renbob sold what?!" he gasped as his wings flapped. Scar shook his head, " No, no! He's didn't sell that! He just made unorthodox potions. The ones that can alter ones existence." he looked at Grian.

 " Is that like the shrink ray or transformation machine?" Grian questioned as Scar nodded. Scar's tail twitched and eventually wrapped around his leg. Scar leaned against Cub, " Kind of, but Renbob was a real odd guy, of course. I heard from Ren that Renbob wanted us to love nature and stop polluting the air." he frowned.

 Mumbo flapped his wings, " He put something in the air though. That's just ironic idiocy!" he snarled as he looked out of the cave. Grian patted Mumbo on the head, " It's over now Mumbo. We can't even confront Renbob because he disappeared off the map!" 

 Grian took off into the sky and hovered above us, " Let's just worry about getting the five of us back to normal." he shook his head. Mumbo flapped his wings as well and carefully lifted himself off the ground. 

 I looked over at Cub as he picked me up. My tail twitched as the five of us took off into the world. Grian flew around in the sky as if he was born as a dragon. Mumbo, however, was far less graceful and yelped every time Grian went past him. Scar, Cub, and I laughed as we watched the two. 

 The flight back to Hermitcraft's mainland only took a few minutes once Grian stopped messing with Mumbo midflight. Cub was leading us towards Concorp as he let out a sigh, " We should be able to get a machine working to turn all of us back." he shook his head. 

 Cub dove down towards the entrance to Concorp and put me down. My tail twitched as I rubbed at my flipper. Mumbo landed next to me, " Are you alright Iskall?" he questioned as I looked up at him.

 " Losing my hand and gaining feathers is not something I quite enjoy Mumbo." I sighed as I crossed my arms. Mumbo nodded, " At least you aren't a full penguin, right?" he gave me a light hearted smile. I nodded at him, " Yep, I can't get my elytra on though. You can't really put it on with one arm." 

 Mumbo shrugged his shoulders as the five of us walked through the gate to Concorp. Cub led the way as he led us to the main part of the land. Cub was about to walk through the door when smack! The bear hybrid's wooden antlers hit the top part of the door frame. Cub cursed the door frame and ducked his head in order to enter. 

 Mumbo was the second to go in follow by Grian, Scar, and myself. The two dragons carefully lowered their heads and walked down the stairs. I could hear Mumbo and Grian hissing to themselves as they went downstairs. 

 Scar and I looked at each other, " I'm glad that we went last." I mouthed as the vex nodded. Scar's vine tail swished as he held on to the wall as we continued down the stairs. We continued to walk down the winding stairs until we reached a good sized laboratory. 

 Cub led us over to a large machine, " Well, I'd say we turn the dragons back first." he cranked open the creaky iron door. Mumbo's ears went back, " Is this actually safe?" he questioned as he lowered his head. 

 The Convex nodded his head, " You've already been magically changed... Why would I do something worse to you?" he questioned with a small growl causing Mumbo to tense up. Grian stepped forward, " Calm down mate. Come on Mumbo if it makes you feel better, I'll go first." he patted Mumbo's back with his claw and moved inside the glass chamber. Mumbo cautiously followed behind the smaller reptile. 

 Cub and scar put some silver eyewear on. Scar put his hand over my eyes, " How dangerous is this actually?" I questioned as I turned my cyborg eye off. Scar sighed, " It'll mainly cause temporary blindness Iskall. I, personally, would rather not have you bang your head against the wall." he soon let out an awkward chuckle. 

 An obnoxious beeping sound soon followed Scar's chuckle. Cub explained that the two were currently turning back to normal.

 A few minutes would pass, and my two friends were awkwardly wearing bath robes and more red than Grian's scales were. Mumbo looked down at the dragon tail and sighed, " It didn't quite work..." he mumbled with a disappointed look. Grian tapped at his horns and frowned. Cub crossed his arms, " Well, you two were giant flying lizards...." he raised his eyebrow and frowned back. 

 After an hour passed, the Convex and I were back to our actual selves. We, unlike Grian and Mumbo, were purely human. Cub explained that he would look into a better cure to make Grian and Mumbo purely human, but I guess I have some cool dragon hybrid friends until then. 

 The three of us left the base and headed to the shopping district to see if we could promote Sahara through dragon fire tricks.
