Author's Note: More to do with the children, my friends. Time to figure out how Zee and the others even got to Hermitcraft's server. It's all pretty odd, isn't it? Enjoy. 

----------------------------------

((timeskip to the morning brought to you by child versions of the IDEA boys sleeping))

 Zee:

 I yawned as I slowly opened my eyes. A small light was in the corner of the room, and I could just barely make out the shape of my hand in front of me because of it. 

 I looked towards the light to find another light, a blue one, to come on. Iskall's awake... 

 " I....skall?" I forced the strained word out of my throat causing the light to move. Another light came on next to the blue light. Iskall's face became almost completely visible as he looked towards me. 

 The hermit frowned, " It seems like your vocal chords still haven't healed yet." he sighed as he rubbed his beard. I sighed as I put my hands against the mattress and forced myself up. My whole body shivered as if I was a wet animal. I groaned as I leaned my back against both my pillow and the headboard. 

 Iskall's eye widened as he slowly stood up with his arm outstretched. I raised my hand and shook my head showing how I didn't need help. The hermit frowned as he crossed his arms. Iskall tapped his eye allowing some small redstone lamps to come on around us. It was just bright enough for me to see, but it wasn't going to stir the others.

 We both sighed, " I couldn't seem to keep myself asleep." Iskall stated with a small yawn, " I don't really know why." he shrugged as I nodded slowly. Iskall turned in his seat in order to face me. The hermit had a thick, wooly blanket covering him. 

 " I haven't looked at the camera yet... I wanted to do it with both you and Stress." Iskall explained as he pointed at his eye. I blinked slightly. Iskall can access that with his eye piece? Man, I knew that Hermitcraft had way better tech than EVO, but that's real advanced. 

 I nodded tiredly as we waited for Stress to wake up and return to the main room. I let out a small sigh as I looked towards the pen. 

 Netty wasn't there anymore. 

 " ....?" I motioned to the pen causing Iskall to raise a brow, " Oh, Stress came in and moved Netty to a bed next to Martyn. She wasn't sleeping well due to being on the cold floor." Iskall explained as he motioned over to two small beds. I nodded slowly as a tail poked out from underneath one of the blankets. 

 Iskall continued to talk absentmindedly about Sahara and his ideas for new builds. I wanted to talk to him about ideas I've been getting, but I don't really have a voice. At least the room isn't filled with silence and the occasional shuffling. 

 " Mew... " 

 I jumped slightly and flinched at the cramping in my neck and legs. Iskall took his blanket off and stood up in confusion. I motioned towards the playpen. The hermit nodded and quietly walked to where Stampy was sleeping. 

 " Hey little guy..." Iskall mused as he kneeled down next to the crib. The small kitten hybrid was mewing and slowly trying to cling to Iskall's sleeve. I watched as Iskall scooped the hybrid up and wrapped him up in a blanket. 

 The cat hybrid purred at the warmth and wiggled deeply into the blanket. I smirked slightly and tried to speak again. Even if it was small sounds, I still had questions that needed answers, " A...age?" I questioned and shuddered. I sounded even worse this time. It felt like I hadn't spoken in years. 

 Iskall blinked, " You sound awful..." he whispered as I nodded. I crossed my legs and lowered my head slightly. The Swede walked over to me and slowly put the little Stampy down into my lap. The kitten stretched out until his arms broke out of the swaddle he was in. He purred and kneaded at my leg and arm before settling down further, " Dada..." he mumbled as until he was asleep again. 

 " Awww..." Iskall mused as he walked back to his seat. I sighed and shook my head as Stress came into the room. The two of us nodded at her. Stress sat down on her couch as Iskall spoke, " We believe that Martyn is six, Netty is five, and maybe Stampy is two." he explained causing Stress to nod. 

 I looked down at Stampy as he purred in my lap and occasionally nuzzled me in his sleep. I smiled at him until Iskall let out a small sneeze, " Augh...." he mumbled as he snuggled deeper into his blanket. Stress looked at Iskall, " Can we look at the camera now, Iskall? I want to see what brought these four here." 

 Iskall nodded as he dug his hand out of his blanket. The hermit tapped at his eye causing a holographic image to slowly materialize in front of us. I squinted causing Iskall to turn the brightness of the hologram down. 

 The feed slowly began to play showing how Xisuma had finished setting up the new portal. I leaned my head forward as the hologram X patted the portal and flew away.

 After a few minutes had passed, the portal started to shake. I narrowed my eyes in order to focus as the light of the portal came on. 

 Not even a few minutes after the light came on, my own body stumbled out of the portal. My body grappled at the wall of the portal and was gasping violently. 

 " Where are the others?" I heard Stress question as the portal glowed violently as Stampy, Netty, and Martyn fell out of the portal. The three were already partway deaged at that moment. My body was already on the ground and struggling.

 " Oh, that doesn't give 's too many answers." Stress frowned as she rubbed her arms. Iskall and I nodded slowly at her as we continued to watch. Netty was nuzzling and hugging a shaking Martyn as her tail curled around him. 

 I tilted my head. Where was Stampy though? I know that he's small, but he was sniffing at me. I blinked as a small kitten slowly waddled its way over to me and changed into little Stampy. The little cat hybrid was sniffing, licking, and pawing at me. I assume he was babbling to me based on how his mouth was moving. 

 Iskall slowly stood up, " and the feed ends when...." the camera seems to cut out as soon as Iskall and Stress walked into the frame. I frowned as I ran my hand through little Stampy's hair. The kitten purred quietly as his ears twitched. 

 Stress stood up as well, " What do we do now, Iskall?" she questioned as shuffling came from the two beds. I turned my head as Netty got up followed by Martyn. The hybrid was nuzzling against Martyn causing him to wake up more. 

 The two looked towards us as Netty quickly hurried to my side and wiggled onto the bed. I watched with a slight smile as Netty nuzzled against her younger brother. Martyn used his vines in order to pull himself onto the bed as well. He climbed under my blanket and shuffled until he let out a sigh of happiness. 

 " Well Stress, even though we didn't get much information out of this, we can probably use the normal means to change these three back." Iskall smiled causing Stress to nod. Iskall crossed his arms, " Do you have any of the potions left around?" he questioned as he looked around the room.

 Stress nodded, " Oh, yes. I still have some of those age progressin' potions... After what happened with Doc and Ren, I wanted to keep a few around." she mused causing Iskall to laugh in response. Stress explained how the potions were upstairs in her lab causing Iskall to nod and hurry off to get the potions.
