Jeff's fur rapidly melted away. As if he was being shaped by divine hands, his features shrunk back into those of a very small boy. Exhausted by the change, he flopped onto the floor, face down. His body then began enlarging and filling out. Jeff snapped back to attention as he felt himself go through puberty yet again. He wobbled on his knees as rpaid growth spurts rocked his body. With satisfaction he noticed red pubic hairs sprout across his groin, and his little-boy pud began engorging. Within seconds he was 19 years old again, and free of all the spells Rais had placed on him. His first action was to tackle Michael Kelly, who still held the spellbook.
The book flew out of Michael's hands as Jeff slammed him onto Rai's bed. Naked as the day they were born, the two young men wrestled, hitting and punching one another. Jeff kneed Michael in the balls, and then leapt across the room to pick up Iqbal, now a helpless, crying infant. "You rat bastard!" screamed Michael, tears leaking from his eyes as he clutched his privates in agony. Jeff, carrying Iqbal, placed the little infant on the ground next to the remains of the cracked vial that had contained the spell-reversal formula. He desprately rummaged among the cracked glass for any traces of the liquid, smeared his hand in whatever he could find, and then stuck his stained fingers in Iqbal's mouth.
Jeff and the infant parted company as Michael punched Jeff in the face. Jeff retailiated by shoving Michael againt the closet door and head-butting him. Rais, now a puppy of some unknown breed, could only watch helplessly from the floor as the seemingly huge naked humans battled it out. Then Rais yipped as a pair of small hands picked him up and placed him in the corner of the room. The hands belonged to Iqbal, who was rapidly growing back to his original age. The dark-skinned toddler than raced back and began pounding his fists against the back of Michael Kelly, who was busy beating up Jeff. Michael, realizing the Iqbal could put a spell on him once he returned to normal, left Jeff alone and chased the toddler, who was growing older with every stride.
Michael finally nabbed Iqbal, who was now around 11, and was grappling with him. It became harder and harder to do as Iqbal's body grew older. Michael could feel the other boy's muscles surge as Iqbal entered puberty and began expanding, and Michael could now feel Iqbal's spreading, plentiful body hair under his scrabbling fingers. Soon it was Michael who was overmatched, as he fought back against a 22 year old man. Jeff looked on helplessly. Iqbal, now fully back to normal, shouted to him, "Use the spellbook to return Rais to normal! I'll take care of this asshole!"
As Iqbal opened his mouth to cast a spell, Michael placed his hand over it. Iqbal in turn placed his mouth over Michael's, and the two continued grappling with each other, Iqbal raining his fist against Michael, who'd recovered his second wind.
Jeff picked up the spellbook and turned to the canines section. He found the spell Michael had used on Rais: “Lupis morphi vitae lyacon humanii.” Now where was the reversal spell? If only there was some liquid remaining in the broken vial! He hurrieldy turned over the pages in the book? What was the spell for growing bigger?
"Page 8!" shouted Iqbal, having freed Michael's hand from his mouth. "But first--" Michael's hand covered Iqbal's mouth again, as the two continued rolling around on the floor, beating each other up. Jeff turned to page 8, found the spell and shouted it at Rais: "SUBOLESCO! Morphi Adultus!"
"No!" shouted Iqbal, as he slammed Michael's head against the wall, finally knocking him out.
"Didn't I do it right?" asked Jeff, helping Iqbal up.
"I was about to say 'but first reverse the lupis spell before you make him grow up' shouted Iqbal, who was obviously distressed.
"Why?!" asked Jeff.
"Because now he's going to become an adult version of the creature Michael turned him into!"
"How bad can that be--he's only a puppy!"
"Remember the spell! 'Vitae lyacon humanii'!"
"Lyacon?"
"As in Lycan, as in--"
They stopped to watch Rais, once a cute puppy, gain immense bulk. The puppy reared up on its two hind legs, and managed to stand upright as it too progressed toward puberty. The gray fur covering the creature could not conceal the humanoid shape of its chest and limbs. Puberty soon arrived, and they could see the Rais' red penis rise from its sheath. Rais began snarling and snapping as the changes neared their conclusion. Soon he towered above all of them, a massive, savage, combination of man and canine. Rais threw back his head and howled.
"--as in werewolf," Iqbal said.
