Christina smirked as she stepped forward to the open door thinking that this will be her ascent.
While her attention was diverted, Justin gave Stephen and Amanda a subtle smirk and a roll of the eyes as she entered the deceptively spacious chamber.
Justin pressed a button and the doors locked closed with a heavy thud. Christina spun around and glared out the viewing port accusingly.
Justin held his finger up signalling for her to wait a minute, then a buzz of static came out of a speaker.
Before Christina got a word in Justin explained that the heavy locks are for the safety of everyone inside and outside the chamber.
Christina looked at him skeptically as he turned a dial and pulled a lever.
There was a faint, subtle droning which shortly became a loud roar as loud as a jackhammer.
Inside the machine, Christina was blinded as lights turned on which distracted her from a spreading pain.
It was at that moment that she realised that she was deceived by the little twerp.
Everyone watching from the outside jumped in alarm as a hand slammed against the window.
"Let me out of here you little shits" Christina yelled angrily though the microphone.
Her yells turned to screams of pain as her muscled body siezed up.
Christina closed her eyes yelling as skin tightened against her. Muscles bubbled and melted away, bones cracking as they decreased in size.
On the other side of the heavy door listening to the sounds the three reacted to her sounds of pain.
Justin looked pained as he kept his hands near the controls monitoring them.
Amanda looked squeamish as she could only imagine what Christina is going through.
Meanwhile Stephen teared up, saddened that someone had to go through this pain.
Eventually the screeching diminished to a whimper and Justin powered everything down, the tanks on the side about half full.
With a hiss and a cloud of smoke, the effects became known. Curled up in the center of the device was Christina, who had dwindled down to 5' ,100lb and much smaller in the chest department.
They rushed to carefully pull her out and check on her.
It all happened so fast that someone had slipped into the machine.
