Before Vinnie could even blink, that Angelo character had turned him and Horst and Carter into a bank of lockers. It felt weird, and disconcerting. Was that how Ryan felt? Carter and Horst seemed to be in shock. Vinnie was seeing and hearing differently. He felt Ryan taken away from him. It was a bit like those stories of people having surgery, where they remember floating over the operating table. Vinnie felt disembodied, like he was watching all this happen to someone else. The fourteen now dressed former lockers left to do the same thing to the school's water polo players. Vinnie was angry now. He shook the funk away, and concentrated, "I am Vincent Cost, and I am Human."
And he was human, he was naked and his hand was embedded in the metal of the locker next to him. Right, Vinnie remembered. In the split second before they changed, Carter had grabbed his hand. Carter must have grabbed Horst's hand too. Vinnie wondered if Carter had done that out of fear or support, or because Angelo's spell compelled him too. Since Vinnie was able to break the spell, he figured Carter was probably most susceptible to the spell, and that's why he grabbed their hands. It made sense, the lockers were connected, so the individuals who made them should be holding hands. He'd have to remember that when he put Angelo and his cruel back into their locker form. He turned his attention to Carter, he could change him back, but wait what had that Bean guy done to him?
Vinnie opened the locker, and saw all the gear hanging from the hook. Was that really Carter's penis? Or another part of his anatomy? Vinnie removed the helmet, and most of the gear. He pulled a shoestring from one of the cleats and tied it around the hook. Then he concentrated, "Carter? Carter, change back, now."
He felt the metal imprisoning his hand melt into flesh. Carter's hand squeezed his and he said, "Thanks, Vinnie, but what about Horst?"
Vinnie let go of Carter's hand, and said, "Let's see if they put anything inside of him first." He pulled his hand away from Carter, and opened the locker that was Horst. It was empty.
"Okay, Horst," Vinnie said with more confidence, "Be human again."
"Wow!" gasped Horst that was surreal, "Hey, could you make me taller, and maybe with more muscles and bigger dicks, and give Carter a bubble butt?" he blabbed excitedly.
"I have no idea," Vinnie answered with a shrug.
"Bubble butt?" Carter asked incredulously, "Are you serious?"
Horst laughed, as if it was all a big joke, but Vinnie wondered, and Carter looked a bit disturbed, though he laughed too.
"Now let's go deal with Angelo and those guys," Vinnie said firmly.
"But he changed us into lockers," Horst said nervously.
"I wasn't ready for him. I've been thinking, he wasn't able to change himself or any of his buddies back for 40 years, and I did it by accident. I don't think he's really that powerful - at least in the magical scheme of things- though I may need some muscle to protect me while I change them back. I'll protect you two from his spells, you up to taking them on?"
"Those dudes are like 50, right? I think we can handle them," said Horst with bravado.
"Yeah, we're with you, Vinnie," said Carter, "But can we put some clothes on first?"
Vinnie was silent for a few moments, then he said, "Let me try something first."
He concentrated.
"Whoa!" gasped Carter.
"How?" gulped Horst.
They were all three dressed like bikers in black leather jeans, white tee shirts and black leather jackets, and motorcycle boots. He glanced over at Horst and Carter and blushed. He hadn't meant to fulfill Horst's request, but apparently he had. Maybe it was because for reference to biker clothes, Vinnie had referenced some drawings he saw online. The tight leather jeans looked like they were painted on, and Carter certainly sported a bubble butt now. The bulge in Horst's jeans looked a bit bigger than it should too. He had willed jockstraps on both Horst and Carter, but he was freeballing it himself. He wanted to wear Ryan at least one more time before changing him back.
They headed toward the pool.
Meanwhile, the fourteen guys are standing around the pool, and looking at the Speedos floating on the surface, and the lockers covering the bottom of the pool.
"Maybe you should've said, "Everybody out of the pool," first?" said Bear.
"Quiet," snapped Angelo.
"Yeah, Bear, Angelo's going levitate them out of the pool, right, Ange?"
"Levitate? Yeah, that's it. Quick grab my hands, We need to form a circle. The power of the coven will enhance my own power," Angelo answered.
They formed a circle next to the pool. They were chanting, "Outta the pool," when Vinnie and his crew reached the doorway to the Natatorium. They watched as the pool bubbled, and the bank of lockers breached the surface and floated about 8 feet over the pool.
