Quarter size! We’ll be under 2 feet tall.”
“What?!” Percival exclaimed in outrage.
“This is your fault, Percival”
“I’ll eliminate you!” Percival charges at your dad, swinging a powerful haymaker which Richard swiftly dodged. The scientist kneed Percival, causing him to huff out in pain before striking him in the face. Both combatants stumbled back before recovering and charging toward each other.
Percival threw another punch, but your dad caught it and twisted his hand. Percival yelled out in agony before being silenced by Richard punching him in the throat. Richard followed up by quickly unleashing a fully rotating roundhouse kick straight to his opponent’s cranium. The mad scientist instantly crumpled to the floor.
“Stay away from my family, you monster!” Richard yelled out even though his rival couldn’t hear him.
By this point, the spots left your eyes, and you grabbed against the wall to get up.
“He really roughed you up Adam.”
“I’ll be ok” you responded. “I’ve taken worse, but I heard you say we shrunk.” you ask curiously. “What’s going on with that?”
“Well you see, my son.” he explains. “This is my miniaturization device, the S.S. Diminularis. I was planning on sharing it with the Board at Duosome Enterprises, once I found a sufficient way to fuel it.”
“Wait, this thing’s hard to fuel?”
“Yes, very. In fact, I don’t think it has enough for another go.”
“Wait, so can we change back to normal size?” you were alarmed.
“I’m afraid we cannot right now. We’ll have to stay small for a few days until I can get more.” Your jaw dropped.
“You gotta be kidding me, you know what Scott’s gonna do to me now I’m small?”
“Calm down Adam, Amber’s still normal-sized and she won’t let that happen.” The two then heard the door open.
“Dad, where are you?” a female voice yelled.
“Speak of the devil.”
“Sweetie.” he yelled, opening the door and stepping out of the contraption while you waited there.
“Oh my gosh dad is that you?”
“Yes honey, the machine shrunk me and Adam, and we can’t change back for a few days. So we’ll need you to do some physical things for us ok?”
“Ok dad, do I really have to stay here for that time?”
“Honey, I would like for you to always be around since I don’t trust Scott, Mom’s not home, and we’re too small to do normal tasks.”
“Ok fine, where’s Adam?”
“Hi!” you pop out of the window, alarmed at how different everything looked.” The top of the machine’s roof didn’t even come up to your sister’s legging-covered hips. The ceiling stretched way high like a gymnasium.
“Hey shrimpy.” she said to you with her hands to her hips. “Looks like you better be nice to me this next few days.”
“Yeah yeah,” you said dismissively, though secretly you were a little intimidated by your much bigger sister. “You better make sure to keep Scott away though.”
“No promises.”
“Look, you really will need to watch Scott so he doesn’t do anything to us.” your Dad clarified as you both left the vehicle. “We can’t exactly defend ourselves at this size and he can be pretty rambunctious.”
“Don’t worry little Dad, I’ll keep him away.” she said.
“What have you done to me?” you heard Percival yell out, jumping out of the S.S. Diminularis. Suddenly he gasped seeing Amber towering over him.
“Oh yeah, he’s here too. Can you take care of him for us?” Richard said.
“With pleasure.” she said rushing to his location and grabbing him in her hands. You noticed that you didn’t even come up to her knees now.
“Listen here you insane jerk,” she says as she lifts him up. “You’ve been a problem to us to a while now, but you need to get your comeuppance.” she said firmly. She suddenly lifted him by the hood and hung it on a hook, him screaming in his weird voice to let him down.
“I’ll deal with you later.” she said. “So anyway,” she said turning to you. “What do you guys wanna do now?”
Your dad then answered:
