At Grey Mann's base, deep inside the core, and into the laboratory, is Nelson, crying as he was slightly shaking, as blood was on the table, and on a white cup, filled with oil inside and blood on the handle of the cup and on the left side of the cup. Nelson apparently has blood on his right hand, on his side of his stomach and the right side of the temple. He was crying quietly, not too loud for Grey Mann nor the robots to hear, and he has his crossed arms over his pulled knees up to his face, as he was gazing at the table's silver metal surface, looking sad and miserable. Then, he heard something land on the ground and didn't care if a robot appears to "check" with him, he just wants to see Lev once more. But, then, the white cup moved out of the way and he glanced over to the "robot," thinking he was searching for him, but, he instead went pale as his eyes widen in fear and his pupils shrank in fear. There, standing in front of him was a hooded figure, with steel blue irises gazing at him in curiosity, and he couldn't tell if the figure is a female or male, but, the figure is tall, likewise, up to Lev's middle. He couldn't move one bit, so, he instead stayed put in the spot, gazing back at the figure in fear, worried that he might be wounded from the figure instead. But it glanced over to a camera in the corner of the room and lifted up his or her's left hand and softly whispered, that only Nelson can hear, and it was a female's soft and gentle voice, that said, "Wxuq rii."

Nelson felt confused about why she said, that, but then the same eyes glanced over at him and slightly smiled from underneath the hood. "Lw lv wr-" she paused and cleared her throat quietly, "Sorry about that, I was sayin' in Three Letters Backwards, "It is fine to come on out," she repeated, in a modest voice. He nodded his head and gingerly got up, his left hand on his side wound and he walked over to her, hobbling a bit. "Oh dear. The robots must've given ya a good number didja?" she asked, sounding pitiful for him in such a bad shape. "Y-Yes," he replied, in a humble voice. She glanced side to side for a moment, before reaching into her pocket and pulled out a vile, filled with "water." "Here," she replied, before whispering, "Vkulqn." and the vile in her hand shrunken down to his hand size and gently held it out for him to drink. "Drink this," she replied, quietly. He gazed at the vile for a moment, before taking the vile from her and popped the cork off and asked, "How many should I take?" "The whole thin' sweetie," she replied gently, and quietly. He slightly blushed at the reply and gulped the liquid inside the whole vile until a bitter and sour taste hits him. He coughed a couple of times, as he placed his blood covered right hand on his neck as the female's right hand was against his back as he went into her hand, as a bed to catch him from falling over.

"Are you alright?" she asked. "I hope the Healing Acid didn't hurt you that much did it?" He glanced up at her with confusion on his face, as he wiped some of the acids off his face. "'Healing Acid?!'" he exclaimed quietly. "Yes, the Healing Acid only heals, not burning. Since you are injured by the robots, I gave you the acid so that you can heal the wounds. It only takes a minute," she paused when she noticed th blood stain is disappearing, "Bingo." she finished quietly. He was shocked at the magic as the blood that stained his clothing, magically disappeared from his clothing and his wounds healed up without any tech or medical work. "There. Better now?" she asked, quietly. "Y-Yes. How did you do that?" he asked, quietly. "Like I said, "Only heals wounds." One minute please." she replied, before picking Nelson up from the table and glanced over her shoulder to the door frame that is open and half whispered and half shouted, "Fred! I found the prisoner that was taken!" Then, Fred appeared, and she is a female with medium brown hair, that is down, bluish green eye color, white skin color and she is wearing glasses, with a baggy black t-shirt, baggy sweatpants, and outside slippers came out from the door and walked over to her. "What is it, Step?" she asked. "I found him, but, a "little" problem." she joked slightly. Nelson frowned in annoyance as he crossed his arms over his chest, as she noticed him in Steph's hands.

"That's him?" she questioned. "Yep!" She quietly answered. Then, Steph added with a quiet "hmm?" and Fred rose one of her eyebrows in confusion, as Steph handed her with Nelson and walked over to the door frame. "What is it?" Fred asked. "Shh!" Steph shushed her. She glanced back at the hallway of the base they are inside and a huge shadow loomed over the wall of the hallway and Steph winced. "Oh, shiitake mushrooms." Steph cursed quietly. "What is it?" Fred asked quietly. "A huge robot's comin' over here!" Steph replied quietly. "Can you take him on?" Fred asked. "Yeah, but, you and your "little" friend have to stay behind," she replied, making Nelson a tad annoyed about his height. Fred nodded her head and Steph peeked around the corner and the robot was thumping towards them, and Steph took two whiffs in the air and frowned. "Double shiitake mushrooms." she cursed again. "What?" Fred asked again. "It's a rogue robot. Not only I can smell the metal gettin' closer; its jaw is covered in blood!" she explained. "So, if me, you or Nelson get bitten by that thing," Fred explained, before pausing and Steph said, "Bye bye body, hello afterlife." Nelson's face went pale, and Fred bit her lip. "Now, shh!" she exclaimed, before peeking around the corner to encounter a huge body, blood-stained jaws, and red ruby eyes. "Aw, nuts," she exclaimed.

It gave out a snarl and grabbed Steph's head and slammed her to the ground, into the light, as her hood came off, revealing long brown hair and wires in different colors in random spots. She landed on the ground as the giant robot was leaning in for a bite and she grunted, before placing her feet underneath its stomach and with all her might, she thrust him off of her with so much force, that it instead launched off of her, and rammed into the wall, shutting it down, and breaking the spine of the robot. "Holy shit!" Nelson exclaimed as Fred was shocked to witness that. As for Steph, she was panting for a few minutes, until she got up to her feet, moving some of the long brown hair out of her face, revealing the same steel blue eye color, but, with almond skin color. She is wearing a red long sleeved shirt, with a pair of blue jeans, that are held up by a dark moss colored leather belt with two D rings, and brown lanced sandals with one gold buckle on each one. On her body is a large blue, white, cerulean, peacock, and sky camo sweater with a hoodie that is enormous in size that reaches down to her thighs, with pockets on the sides and a silver zipper in the front, and with frost hemmings at the ends of the sleeves and the bottom of the sweater. But the strangest thing that confuses both Fred and Nelson is that she has a metallic covering that covers her left eye, right arm and both of her legs, thus the sandals. "Sup," she answered, calmly.

Nelson and Fred were confused for a moment, until he broke the ice by saying, "Uh, hi?" Steph rolled her eyes and chuckled softly to herself. "Sorry for not properly introducing myself from all the stuff we've gone through, but, my name is Stephanie Nova Rose Allen." she introduced herself. "Nelson is my name," Nelson replied, positioning his glasses into place. "And I know your name's Fred, Fred," she said to Fred. She nodded her head and a pair of red ruby glowing eyes appeared behind her and Stephanie gasped. "Fred! 6:00!" she yelled out. Fred whipped around, as Nelson gripped her first finger until something grabbed her and pinned her to the ground, as he flew out of Fred's hands and into a glowing light blue puddle. He went face first into the puddle, accidentally gulping a mouthful of the liquid, and it tasted awful than the acid that he drank earlier. He coughed as he spat out a third of the liquid and glanced over to Fred, who's squirming underneath a robot Scout's weight, as it was also covered in blood on the jaws and red glowing eyes. Then, at Fred's position, she was trying to move out of the way of the Scout bot's bite until Stephanie jumped up high into the air, and landed on the Scout bot's back, gripping the head and pulled back, as her right hand was bitten from the robot. She gave out a pained yell and with all her might, she pulled back fully, snapping the head of the robot off.

After Stephanie had snapped the head off of the Scout bot's head, she threw off the body after she got off and with her left hand and Fred's right hand, she pulled Fred up to her feet, with one heave. "Are you alright?" she asked. "I'm alright, what about you?!" she exclaimed in fear. "You got bitten!" She glanced over at her oil spilling metallic hand and replied, "It's okay, just a small bite." "A small bite?! It looks deadly!" she exclaimed. Stephanie sighed and reached into her pocket with her left hand, and pulled out a bandanna and wrapped the bandanna around her wound and tied it together. "There. Is that much better?" she asked. "Yes, but we have to find an engineer for your hand," Fred explained. "Alright." she agreed, then noticing Nelson is missing. "Where's Nelson?" she asked. Fred gasped and glanced around, looking for Nelson, as Stephanie looked around too. Nelson raised up his hand to catch their attention and called out, "Down here!" Stephanie glanced over to the puddle that he was inside and gasped, before quickly walking over to him and scooped him up with her non-injured hand from the now gone puddle and set him down on the table, looking all over on him. "Why are you gazing at me?" Nelson asked, sounding uncomfortable that she is gazing at him with steel blue eyes. "That was a chemical puddle, Nelson!" Stephanie exclaimed. "It might be acidly, unlike my Healing Acid!"

Nelson gasped in fear and cried out in fear, "So, am I alright?!" "Yes, you're alright, but, the strangest thing is that the chemicals that you went in instead soaked into your body, rather of burning you like stomach acid," she replied calmly, trying to calm him down. Nelson confusingly looked at his hand in confusion, until Stephanie felt curious. "Hey, how tall are you, before you went into that puddle?" she asked. Nelson glanced back at her with confusion on his face and replied, "6 inches, why?" She frowned slightly in puzzlement and in her robotic eye, it invisible scanned him and showed a diagram of his size, saying he is at 7 inches. She blinked in confusion and replied, "Uh, Nelson, my diagram that I scanned you shows that you are at 7 inches." Nelson felt more confused why she said that and Stephanie scanned him once more to check again and shows a diagram of his body, showing normal body functions, blood pressure, and many other things, all except the side effects of growing. As she was quiet for a moment, thinking to herself about the chemicals that he went into, Nelson felt a strange feeling inside of him and felt a pulse. Stephanie glanced back at him and the diagram now shows him at 8 inches!

"Uh-oh." Stephanie winced. "The chemical that you went into is a very strong chemical that allows that person to grow as each minute has passed, so, you're going to grow big," she explained, hoping not to panic him. "Y-You mean I'll be over Lev's height?!" he exclaimed. "Yep." she replied. "Can't you make a different chemical to make him normal?" Fred asked. "If I did, it would instead make him smaller than normal, or worse!" Stephanie pointed out. As the two were talking, Nelson felt another pulse and he grew another inch as Stephanie noticed him growing! "Welp, I hate to be rude, but," She said, as she lifted up the 9 inched Nelson off the table. "We gotta get out of this small room before he gets stuck in here like Alice In Wonderland!" Fred nodded her head and Stephanie ran forward as Fred ran behind her and Nelson gripped one of Stephanie's fingers on her left hand as the two of them were cupped together so that he won't fall off and watched as the scenery passed fast, and jolting from each step Stephanie takes with her metallic legs. She turned the corner and Fred followed after her and Nelson felt another pulse after a minute has passed and he grew to 10 inches! She noticed him growing so, she ran faster as Fred tried to catch up, until she noticed a door so, she stopped and Fred accidentally slammed into her back.

"Oof! Why did you stop?" Fred asked. "We have company," Stephanie replied. Fred peeked over her shoulder and saw more rogue robots, roaming around, as blood stained their jaws. "Crap." Stephanie cursed quietly. "We'll be robot food if we stayed here." "And a small problem, too," Fred added, glancing down at Stephanie's hands to look at Nelson. Nelson felt another pulse and grew another inch to 10 inches, and Stephanie now can hold him with both of her entire hands. "Shiitake mushrooms…" Stephanie mumbled to herself. Then, a robot version of the Demoman glanced over to the door frame, wondering what was all the whispering talks and saw the two, before giving out a mechanical bellowing roar at them. "Run!" Stephanie cried out, as she quickly placed Nelson into her left hand as she reached behind and grabbed Fred's right hand as she gently pressed Nelson against her chest, over the bosom and ran straight down the hallway, searching for the exit as the rogue robots were tailing after them. As she ran, Nelson felt another pulse and grew to another inch to 11 inches and Stephanie glanced down at him and noticed he's getting bigger, so, she wrapped her fingers around his waist and placed him into her hoodie so that he'll be safe inside. When he got inside her hoodie, he felt jolting around him but felt safe now he's inside a full protective barrier than inside Stephanie's hands.

As another minute has passed, he felt another pulse and grew to 12 inches and glanced over his body, wondering his clothing will rip at any minute, but luckily they didn't and they are instead growing along with him. He sighed nervously as another minute has passed and then, he grew another inch, at 13 inches. Outside the hoodie, she was panting as she ran, as Fred trailed after her, tired, so, Stephanie scooped her up into her arms and ran straight towards the exit. As for the rogue robots, they were already tired of chasing after her, so, they stopped chasing after her and walked in different directions. Stephanie slowed down her pace slowly, before glancing over her shoulder and noticed that they are gone. "Whew!" she exhaled. "That was a close one!" She glanced over to Fred and said, "Are you okay?" "Yeah, I'm fine." She replied calmly. She sets Fred down on the ground after they entered an enormous room that is a garage to make bigger robots to attack and reached over to her hoodie. "Nelson? Are you alright?" she asked. "Yeah, I'm fine," Nelson replied. Stephanie felt his body and gently wrapped her fingers around his waist and lifted him up from her hoodie and in front of her face. "Holy crap." Stephanie quietly cursed. Instead of 13 inches, he's 17 inches.

"Okay, the chemicals are slowly actin' so, you are perfectly fine," Stephanie replied, calmly. Nelson sighed in relief and an hour has passed as the clock ticked 12:00 in the afternoon and Nelson felt a strong pain in his stomach. "Nelson?!" Stephanie exclaimed as she placed her right hand in front of her. "Are you alright?!" Nelson didn't reply, and he only responded with a groan as he covered his stomach. Then, loud thumping footsteps echoed from the hallway and Stephanie turned around, to see another large robot with blood dripping from the jaw and it snarled and pushed Stephanie to the ground, as Nelson landed on the ground, groaning in pain. It reached over to Stephanie with a hiss and Stephanie started backing up, frantically, and it was going to bite her, with Fred ran over and jumped on the robot's head, covering the eyes. "Yippee-ki-yay robot!" Fred exclaimed. Stephanie quickly got up to her feet and glanced over to Nelson, who's out in the open and she is worried that he'll go flat as a pancake, so, she picked him up from the ground and quickly ran over to a table and set him down on it, hoping to come back to him after the fight. Then, the enormous robot finally tossed Fred off its head and slammed her against the wall, knocking her out and Stephanie's eye color and hair turned light red. "Hey! Pick on someone your own size, fatass!" Stephanie snapped. It growled and ran over to her, ramming her into a wall behind her and was leaning in for a bite.

She lifted up her leg and started pushing it away from her body, as it was forcing forward to get a bite. As for Nelson, he was nevertheless still in pain and suddenly, he felt more than one pulse and he started growing from 17 inches to 18, 19, 20, 21 and many inches until it got to heights! Then, everything suddenly stopped. He groaned slightly as he opened his eyes, blinking slowly from the pain he went through. 'Reminds me of the time I made Vlad angry, he knocked me out…' he thought to himself. 'Even though, what happened?' He sat up slightly from the ground, until he sat up fully, noticing that the furniture around him, is smaller than normal. Confused, he glanced around for a moment, before noticing the now awaken Fred against the wall, gazing up at him with a shocked look on her face, but, the most shocking thing to Nelson is that she is 6 inches instead of him! She gave out a startled yelp and backed up against the wall, as she was staring at him with shocked eyes. "F-Fred?" he stammered. Fred only answered with a whimper. "What happened?" he asked, as he reached over to her, as she was frantically trying to escape from his enormous hand from getting caught.

"Hey!" Stephanie's voice yelled. Nelson turned around to face Stephanie and noticed the small robot in front of her as she was still pushing it away from her body as it was pushing forward to bite her. "I don't mean to be rude, but can you help me?!" she exclaimed. Nelson blinked and turned slightly around to face Stephanie and grabbed the robot in his right hand, before slamming the robot on the ground, crushing it underneath his hand. After the robot had been crushed underneath his right hand, he reached over with his left hand and carefully scooped Stephanie into his hand and glanced over to the terrified stricken Fred and placed Stephanie right beside her. "Fred. Calm down." Stephanie replied as she placed her hands on her shoulders. "It's just Nelson. Remember the small jokes?" She glanced back at Nelson and he sheepishly smiled, as he positioned his glasses into place. "N-Nelson?!" she exclaimed in shock. "You're not gunna faint are ya?" Stephanie asked, in a worried tone. "Oh, no I'm not." Fred lied. "But, aren't you panicking?!" "Me, panickin'?" she repeated in confusion, before chuckling. "This always happens back in my part of town." Fred's jaw dropped instantly and Nelson heard loud footsteps in the distance. "We got to go, are you okay with heights?" he asked. Stephanie nodded her head, and Fred made the kinda mention. Nelson sighed and first picked up Stephanie from underneath and placed her inside his inside pockets inside his jacket. Then, he reached over to Fred and said, "Do anything to get my attention in case if I do anything wrong."

Fred nodded her head fearfully, and he carefully wrapped his fingers around her waist and slowly and carefully lifted her up in the air to his face and opened his jacket flap slightly to reveal his inner jacket pockets and placed Fred inside one of the pockets that Stephanie is inside. When she was inside, he carefully closed the flap and stood up to his feet, being careful with the passengers in his pocket. He got to his full height and noticed the metal door is open for some odd reason, so, he walked straight through the door frame into the outside. He's revealed he's outside safe from being trapped inside Grey Mann's base and rescued by two girls. But the most thing that is bugging him is Lev. How can he react when he meets him again?
