 (( a few hours later brought you by young!Mighty crawling on all fours around the house))

  Wither:

 I sighed as Mighty started to make odd noises. I had to put Mighty into a play pen because she somehow managed to get into my spell room and get attacked by some summoned magma cubes. Having to bandage a hybrid's burned tail and leg was not something I wanted to do.

 Mighty whined and bit at the magical pen. Fantasy had surrounded the pen with plush chickens that made the small hybrid freak out even more. I looked over at her. I crossed my arms, " Fantasy, take the chickens away from Mighty.... Please." I frowned with a shake of my head. 

 Fantasy frowned at me, " Mighty looks lonely though. " the wattpadder frowned as she stood up and walked over to the cage. I sighed, " Fantasy, I don't know how much of you is in there, but Mighty has that allergy to birds. " I motioned towards the army of plush poultry.

 Fantasy pouted but agreed to remove the birds. She carried the chickens back over to the couch and set them next to Aqua. The wattpadder then climbed onto the couch as well and curled up with her birds. Man, poultry man would be proud of this, or maybe he wouldn't. I don't really know how that man feels about plush versions of chickens. 

 I looked over at Aqua as she looked up from her book. She fixed her glasses and sighed as Fantasy put her plush chickens on Aqua's legs. The aquatic wattpadder raised her eyebrow, " What are you doing?" she questioned as Fantasy perked up. 

 " Oh! Um... 'm just havin' fun with my cheekins...." Fantasy explained with a grin. Aqua sighed and went back to her book. Fantasy cocked her head to the side before shrugging it off and playing with her stuff poultry.

 I looked down at Odal; she was distracted by the TV that I had on. I never really used it that often, but I suppose it was good for odd moments like these. Odal's eyes were fixed to the television. I was going to question her on how she even made the device, but I suppose my own investigation is good enough.

 The device looked roughly like a ray gun. Its container, which held the deaging liquid, was broken at small parts, and a small portion of the liquid was still inside. I cocked my head to the side leaned forward.

 " Hmm... This is pretty good craftsmanship..." I muttered to myself as I studied the device. I took out my communicator and scanned the device, " Half machine and half magic.... That explains a lot." I frowned as I looked at the messages. X, Ren, and Stress were coming. Well, Ren and Stress were coming. X said that is would take him a couple of hours to get Grian unstuck from the ceiling. I was going to ask X what happened, but I decided not to.

 I looked at the clock and sighed. It would take an hour for Ren and Stress to come. I stretched and closed my communicator. Mighty let out a whine as I looked over at the hybrid. The mix breed was dragging her burnt leg on the ground and pawing at the pen's walls. 

 " Mighty, I can't let you out until Ren and Stress get here. You're hurt..." I frowned as Mighty whined more. The hybrid panted and scratched at the cage more. I shook my head and stood up. I walked over to the hybrid and kneeled down in front of the pen.

 Mighty's tail wagged as I put my hand into the pen. The hybrid nuzzled my hand and purred, " Withy...." her voice was soft and tired as her tail swished. I frowned as Mighty laid back down and curled up. Her tail twitched as she fell back asleep. 

 I looked over at the others. Fantasy was snuggled up in her pile of chickens, and her head was on Aqua's shoulder. Aqua looked over at me tiredly, " The splash potion.... I'm pretty sure it drained the energy out of the four of us...." she yawned as she put her book down onto the coffee table. I put a blanket over Mighty and walked back over to the others.

  Aqua put her glasses down on top of her book and put her head down on the pillow. I crossed my arms and looked over at Odal; she was happily sleeping on the floor in front of the TV. I sighed and took a blanket and put it over the kid. She curled up and nuzzled a chicken plush that was next to her. 

 I checked the communicator and let out a sigh of relief, " Ren and Stress are almost here." I sat back down in front of the device. I picked the thing up and looked at the others, " I should move this somewhere else." 

 The device was still warm as I carried it upstairs to a secluded room behind a magically sealed lock. I put the device down as it started to turn a heavy red. It glowed and shifted in color as the last of the liquid started to boil.

 " W... what the Hel? I didn't even do anything!" I stood up as the device changed to a orange color. The weird fumes from the gun started to spread out of the crack in the gun as I jumped back. 

 I opened my communicator and quickly typed, " Device going off again! Help!" the communicator soon disconnected from my arm and hit the ground. The fumes were getting thicker as I tried to open the door. 

 The room was getting bigger by the second as I forced the door open with magic. I managed to fall into the hall and gasp in pain before blacking out fully.
