Distracted by Tobi’s jubilance, Mika hadn’t noticed Sebastian stealthily sidling up beside him. In a swift motion, the farmer boy snatched the stone from Mika’s hand and pointed it directly at him. “Now it’s back to the stables for you!” he grinned.
Mika felt his head spin as he was reduced back to a naked little stableboy. Tobi let out a small cry as she ran forward and wrapped her arms around him protectively.
“And don’t you even think of interfering.” he pointed the stone sideways at the charging warrior, shriveling her powerful punches into puny little fists when they connected. “Oh that tickles!” he snickered as he kicked the helpless Aubrey hard on his stomach, sending the little boy sprawling back to the ground.
“You stupid city types! You think you’re all so smart. Well now I’ve got the power, and I’m going to make me Master of the World!” he laughed fiendishly as he clasped the stone and started growing larger.
There was dull thud, and Sebastian collapsed to the ground. A sharp rock about the size of a cannon ball lay by his side. All eyes turned Ander who had been standing right behind Sebastian. “Nice shot!” Tobi said as she retrieved the stone and handed it back to Mika.
Mika quickly restored himself and Audrey, and then turned over to the unconscious Sebastian. “I wonder what we should change this country bumpkin into.” he muttered.
