Jimmy shrieked as Gourmand cornered him and Kitty. Kitty had came over to help him out but ended up trapped as well. He was a lot scarier and more intimidating when he was a kid.

"I gotcha now, kiddies"

Thinking on impulse and running on adrenaline, Jimmy kicked Gourmand as hard as he could in the shin. Gourmand howled in pain, grabbing his leg reflexively.

Jimmy took this to his advantage and practically shoved Kit out of the corner, as easily on her heels as if she had...well, wheels, not even giving her the chance to run on her own.

"Jimmy, I can run-"

"RRRAAAAHH! I'M GONNA TATTER YOU TOTS!" Gourmand roared. Jimmy could hear the man stomping behind them.

"AAHHH! Gogogo!" Jimmy ran faster away from Gourmand, practically carrying Kitty. He easily ducked a zachbot's attempt to nab them. This caused the bot to get in the way and the chef full force ran into him.

Donita cringed slightly at the sound before rolling her eyes. "Do I really have to do everything around here? And where is Zach?!"

As if right on cue, Zach came in with Dabio hopping behind him trying to untie his ankles.

"Found him tied up hopping down the hall"

"Great" Martin said to himself rolling his eyes. Another villain to deal with.

He and Aviva were currently fighting off Donita with her pose beam.

"Where did she even get that thing from?" Martin yelled, narrowly dodging the floating orb.

"Do you just carry it around with you everywhere you go?"

"For your information, I don't. I just so happened to have it on me today. And a good thing too!"

Before Martin could get up and out of the way, he was caught in the pink light.

Aviva noticed and immediately started for the boy, but was cut off and picked up by Dabio's huge hands. Aviva growled, tired of just being whisked off her feet because she was small. Angered, she bit down hard onto the guy's hand. He yelped in pain and let the young girl go.

"Ooowww! The little girl bite me!" Dabio yowled nursing his hand and crying.

"I promise you'll live" Donita half attempted to stop her sidekick from crying.

Aviva ran at Donita, and tried to snatch the remote. But Donita was faster and pulled it away, holding it just out of the girl's reach over her.

"You can have it to save Martino. You just have to take it from me" the woman taunted. She clearly enjoyed teasing the girl about her little problem. Though Aviva was anything but amused. She didn't want to comply and submit to doing exactly what Donita wanted, but she'd have to swallow some pride and try for Martin.

She sighed and looked up at the remote Donita was dangling just above where her fingertips could graze it. Scowling at the designer with scorn, she jumped up and she just had wrapped her hand around it when Donita yanked it out of the air where it had been not even a whole half second before.

She landed back on the ground. She should've known Donita Donata wouldn't play fair.

Meanwhile, Koki was having a hard time defending herself against three Zachbots at least twice her size when Donte ran over. She was getting tired and slowing down against her will.

The older boy easily fought them off but more just kept coming. Koki couldn't do much to help now and had to stop, getting drowsy.

"Donte...I think I'm gonna..." She couldn't finish her sentence as she passed out.

The farm boy whirled around. "No, not again"

He picked her up off the floor so as she wouldn't get ran over through all the chaos or snatched in her current state. Donte struggled to continue fighting for awhile with the fainted girl on his back. He found it was a lot harder to do with just feet, legs, and knees.

C'mon, Koki. Wake up" he said desperately while kicking another bot down for the count. "I can't keep this up much longer. I need my hands"

Koki started to stir much to his relief. She shook her head slightly, and blinked, instantly confused with the scene playing out around her. She then noticed Donte.

"Um...who are you?"

"Long story, I'll have to explain later. I'm a friend, those robots are bad, so don't let them get you, okay? Also they are with us, but not those grownups over there. Just don't get caught" Donte briefly explained, pointing out everything that mattered.

"Uh, right. Sure, I got it" Koki answered, not knowing how else to reply to the sudden information. She hopped down off his back, keeping an eye on the Zachbots zooming around.

"Good. Um, you know Jimmy, right?"

Koki seemed to know exactly who he was talking about and nodded rapidly. "Yeah!"

"Go find him, okay? He's here too. And...Aviva?"

"Aviva I know" with that Koki ran off into the crowd.

Donte was having second thoughts about it being a good idea to let her just go out like that, but was immediately distracted from the thoughts when several more robots suddenly came at him.

He sighed loudly in annoyance. "Really? You tin cans just don't know when to quit it!"

XXX

Koki ran and saw Aviva first, jumping for a remote a woman was hanging over her head. And she didn't seem to happy with the teasing. Koki decided to go help. When the lady brung it down again she ran up from behind and snatched it. Donita hadn't expected another to come and grab it from her.

"Hey!" She said turning to Koki looking threatening. Koki jumped, scared, and turned. "Uh, Aviva! Here!"

She quickly tossed it to her friend who caught it.

"Thanks, Koki!" She immediately pushed the button on it. Martin fell as the beam faded.

"Ow. Thanks"

Martin stood up and dusted himself off only to dive for the floor again, taking the girls with him just as a destroyed Zachbot flew over and crashed into the wall.

Koki propped herself up on her elbows and looked at the machine. "Yikes. What was that?"

"Zachbot" Martin stated absentmindedly, not really paying attention to her confusion. He was busy looking out for the others. Donte jogged over followed by Kitty and Jimmy.

"Okay, we need to get out of here. Like, now"

"I know, I know. I'm thinking" Martin said wracking his brain for something. They couldn't transport back without a machine, the Tortuga was totaled, and...they were all one by one turning into kids. Which didn't leave too many options available...

"I think we should find that antidote before Zach can call more bots on us" Donte suggested.

"Yeah, but where to look? This building is pretty big"

"How about here?" Zach said grabbing everyone's attention. He was holding a vial in between his fingers carefully twirling it. It had a powder blue liquid inside it.

"You want this antidote?"

"Zach! What are you doing?" Donita said incredulously.

"I knew it! I knew we shouldn't of trusted him to hold that blasted antidote. Why is their even an antidote to it?"

"Just offering them their adulthood back is all. I believe I've gotten what I want" he shrugged trying to be smooth.

"It's a trick" Kitty accused, though she was a bit unsure.

"Why are you just gonna give it to us?" Martin glared suspiciously.

Zach rolled his eyes and sighed loudly."I just told you! I no longer need you as kids! Geez, you should listen more. Do you want it or not? I'm not standing here till midnight"
