To say that the girls had fun would be an understatement. Lisa and the others happily ran through Chuck E. Cheese, eating pizza and playing games for a couple of hours before finally growing tired. Finding their shoes the five 7 year olds now happily snuck out and began making their way towards Maddies car.
"Okay that was fun," Maddie giggled as she fished her keys out of her purse. Lisa smiled ear to ear as she looked back towards Renee, Kumiko, and Ann. "Ill say," she said. "How about you guys? You have fun?"
Kumiko and Ann nodded grinning as they now approached Lisa. "Yeah it was a blast," Kumiko said. "But here's a question, what do we do with her?"
The two girls now glanced at Renee, who was giggling with Ann as they stepped inside Maddies car. "I dont know," Lisa said thoughtfully. "I mean dont want to change her back to how she was. Maybe we can get her a job."
"Well we could use a secretary," Kumiko smirked. Giggling the two girls now turned towards the car, unaware of the stern looking Japaneese man approaching quietly.
Fukushu smiled as he gazed at the five grown down adults. He sensed the magic emanating from them and recognized it immediately. These girls were connected to the ones who had helped Lilith. While usually he would use his powers to take lost children as kits, that was not to be the fate of these girls, no these girls would be bait for the trap he was setting. Casting a spell, Fukushu watched as balls of energy now began to swirl over the girls, energy that was gradually moving backwards.
Lisa was the first to feel the effects, swooning slightly as she gazed at her friends. "I feel weird," she said as she grabbed her head. The others also began to feel dizzy as they looked at one another. The girls eyes went wide as they began to notice themselves beginning to grow smaller.
"What's happening," Maddie whispered as she noticed her clothing beginning to become baggy. "Were getting smaller."
"No," Ann whispered. "Not smaller, younger!"
The girls gaped at one another, alarmed by what was happening. In only moments they had shrank down to 5 and were quickly heading for 4. "Wisa," Kumiko lisped. "Make it stop."
"I trwyin," Lisa wailed. "I not doing dis." The group of 4 year olds now struggled to hold up their clothes as they aged backwards. Maddie, Renee, and Ann sat stunned in their seats, their bodies inflating with baby fat as they grew younger. The toddlers faces were becoming round and infantile as they inched closer to babyhood.
"So you are the ones that helped Lilith."
Lisa turned up towards the voice, seeing a stern looking Japaneese man grinning down at them.
"Who are you," Lisa asked, her voice becoming more infantile with each syllable.
"No one of consequence little one," Fukushu said.
Lisa gazed at the man as she grew younger. Her mind was becoming fuzzy as she passed 2. The red haired toddlers legs began to wobble as she stuck her thumb in her mouth. As she tried to ask him a question, she found she was no longer old enough to talk. Falling back on her butt, the infant scrunched up her face and frowned up at the man.
Fukushu grinned as the girls retreated into infancy. The girls now laid on their backs, swamped in their clothing as they raced closer to newborn status. As Fukushu's spell completed he picked up the five infants, noticing they were now slowly but surely falling asleep in his arms.
"Excellent," he grinned. "You five will be safe until I your friends come to the rescue." Looking down at where Lisa's clothing lay, he could see the Ring of Age laying among her belongings. "Return to your master," he commanded. "Let them know what as happened. I will be waiting."
Fukushu watched as the ring vibrated before sailing off to find Gloria. As it did, Fukushu smiled. He would have his revenge on those that would dishonor his family. Opening a portal, he now stepped through, vanishing from sight. Preparations needed to be made as he awaited the inevitable rescue party.
