Nanny’s dungeon 2Deep in the darkness of a nearby forest, something stirred as a cloud of energy circled around the forested area. It was the same kind of energy the sailor senshi had found and been defeated by one year prior. In the intervening months that energy had grown much stronger with conversion of so many to its’ cause. Now it was the time to convert more heroes to Nanny's cause once again and she couldn't wait to be begin.…"Think we found a lead?" Tommy the red zeo ranger asked, coming into the main room. The control screen drew his eye, as a marker flashed on it."That is correct," confirmed Zordon. "An energy signature has appeared, which we believe to match the one that defeated the Senshi. We do not have much information, but what we do know suggests it.""Good," Tanya the yellow ranger said, clapping her fist into her palm. "I'm ready!""We should be careful," Jason the gold zeo ranger spoke up. "If this thing managed to defeat all the Senshi, then it's a powerful monster.""That is why you will not be going alone," Zordon said. "I have contacted allies, who will be fighting with you against this monster.""What sort of allies?” asked Rocky the green ranger as he gazed up at Zordon. Zordon looked a bit uncomfortable. "They are the masked warriors known as the Kamen Riders." Rocky blinked. "Didn't you say they were-" "That doesn't matter," Zordon interrupted. "This is more important than all of us. More important than what I've said about them in the past."Kat shook her head. "Sure, now you say that..." "But we still got to save the world and we could use all the help we could get our hands on right now." pointed out Tommy as he looked at Kat the Pink Ranger"I'm not arguing," Kat said. "It's Zordon who said-" "Never mind that," Zordon said, looking uncomfortable. "Proceed to the marked location on the map, around two miles from the centre of the disturbance - they will meet you there. And... don't tell them I said they were... well, you know.""Got it. Let's head out team." said Jason as the group warped out to the forest area.…Not only the Kamen Riders, but the Borgs, were waiting for them."About time you showed up," Ronald Williams the green hunter beetleborg said, shaking his head. "Right, let's get going.""Shouldn't we plan first?" Jason asked, curious."Not really," Jo the red striker beetleborg told him. "I mean, we're all used to working together as our own groups, so it should be fine.""Isn't the fact that not planning out a strategy is what got the Sailor Senshi captured in the first place?" asked Kat apprehensively."True..." Andrew McCormick the Blue beetleborg admitted. "But how much planning can we do? We don't have weeks to train to work with one another, and we need to know what's in there to plan more than that."Rocky spoke up. "Perhaps we should just make sure not to rush into things we don't understand. Make plans when we get to the rooms.""That sounds good," Kamen Rider Siren said.The group walked on in silence for a few minutes before they came across the entrance to Nanny's lair."Well, do you think this is it?" Kat quipped, looking at the huge door which hung slightly ajar.That attempt at humour fell a bit flat."Okay, Riders," Adam said. "We'll go first - keep an eye out for anything suspicious."Moving in pairs, the Kamen Riders passed through the door, then the Borgs and 'rangers did the same.Very little caught their eye at first, as only a little light was making it through the door.They were about to try to get some kind of light, until a soft yellow-white light began to brighten - seeming to come from nowhere at all."What do you think it is?" asked Josh Baldwin, the white beetleborg as he readied his blaster. "Don't know," Jason said, looking around. "There doesn't seem to be anywhere it's coming from - the room is just... kind of well lit." "Look at the walls!" Kat added, pointing. The group all turned to the walls to see literally hundreds of thousands of symbols written on the walls and the ceiling with a total of eleven spaces shown for each section of writing."What do you think it is?""Not sure," Josh said, glancing between them. "It... I guess it's writing? I don't understand it, though.""They're... well, I guess they have to be writing," Len agreed. "They're spaced like writing, but I don't know how to translate it. I mean, look at that," he said. "That's inside a circle, so I guess it might be a name or something - but it could be anything. It appears a lot, though. And look, that one's kind of similar."Rocky stepped up to a panel, running his finger over another of the sections of writing - which, had he known it, meant "Pluto". "We're not going to get anything useful from this, guys," he said, turning away and shrugging. "We should move forwards, I guess."I guess. Wonder what they were placed here for?" asked Lacey Sheridan as the group headed towards the next area.The room was large enough that, moving cautiously, they took at least a minute to get merely halfway through."I still wonder about those bits of writing," Lacey commented. "Perhaps-""Wait!" Rocky snapped. "Stop!"They all did, looking towards him."What is it?""I heard something..." Rocky said, scanning the walls. "A bit like a creaking sound.""Is that all?" Dragonborg asked, shrugging. "We should-""No, remember, we've got no idea what's in here," Jason said, agreeing with Rocky. "We should be ready for anything."He shifted his feet, ready to spring into action - and they all heard the creak this time. It started low-pitched, then rapidly got higher.And then the pit trap activated."Whoa!" everyone shouted, trying to jump clear.The group all leaped towards the far edge of the room as the floor gave way to reveal a long shaft with multicolored plastic blocks with a series of ledges leading downward to a gigantic foamy pit. There was another exit in the bottommost section of the pit but it was about five feet above the foam pit at the very bottom. Currently Kit Taylor and Karato were holding on to the very edge of the wall as their team mates looked on."Guys! Pull us up here!" Karato called, wobbling as his grip started to become loose."Don't worry!” Fireborg said, reaching down and taking his wrist.“We've got you,” Ladyborg added. With some effort, they pulled up Karato (and Dragonborg, who had been close to falling) and Kamen Rider Torque helped pull up Kit Taylor."Thanks guys. Maybe we should see if there's another way into the dungeon other than that pit trap," suggested Kit Taylor.That met with agreement, and the group all headed further into the corridor.Unfortunately, it took them not much more than a minute and two turns to discover that the corridor was blocked by rubble.“Well... great,” Karato said. “Any ideas?”“Well... I guess the only other option is going to be using the pit,” Kit said with a sigh. “Everyone be careful, I suppose.”Feeling a bit worried now that the area had turned out to be so much more dangerous than expected, they headed back to the trap.In pairs, the Borgs went first – lowering themselves until they were holding on by their fingers, then dropping down onto the first ledge.Much to their surprise, it turned out to be slightly bouncy – like standing on a trampoline or a very firm bouncy castle.“Any problems?” Lacey asked.“No, we're fine,” Fireborg replied. “Come on down, I guess.”The second ledge was a lot like the first, but just a little bit bouncier."This actually seems pretty easy to do. It's just like jumping on my trampoline back home." said Kat as she quickly went down to the fourth ledge in a series of jumps."Yeah, you're right," the Dragonborg said. He wobbled slightly as he landed on the fifth one. "Okay, guys, two more to go. I - whoa!"He stumbled, slipped, and fell down onto the sixth level. He bounced, landed, bounced again, and came to a halt just before the drop off the sixth ledge."Careful!" several people called."I know, I know!"Moving a bit slower and more carefully, the large group gradually made their way down to the final ledge - where the door was."Right. Slow and careful," Torque reminded them.Len nodded, but then stumbled as the floor depressed from someone else walking next to him. He instinctively stuck his arms out for balance, knocking two of the Kamen Riders, and they fell into the pit with a short cry."Incisor! Axe!" Thrust called."I'll get them up here though I could use some help.” said Kat as she stuck her hands into the foam and felt two hands grab her own."Everyone who's not helping pull them up, get back!" Tommy said. "We don't want anyone else to fall in there."He noticed Kat had got down on her front, to let her reach further into the pit. "Good work, Kat - uh... Thrust, you help her pull them up!""Right. What do you think that pit did to them?" asked Thrust as he held Kat by her legs to extend her reach and help pull her up with the two extra heroes. "No idea. Guess we'll have to see... I mean, it might not have done anything, but a pit full of shaving foam seems a bit silly for a monster this powerful.""Well, we don't know what the monster is exactly like anyway." responded Jo as she helped kamen Rider Thrust pull up Kat as she strained against the extra weight of the kamen riders and something else. "I got them! Help pull me up." said Kat as she strained her muscles to avoid being dragged into the pit.With a final pull, Kat started to move backwards away from the edge of the pit, bringing the two Riders with her.As she did, though, she noticed something. “My – my hands!”They were covered in some kind of strange, red plushy material with soft plastic claws on the end of her hands.“What the heck is that?” asked Jo, still pulling. “It looks like some kind of novelty pair of mittens!”More surprises were to come. As the two Kamen Riders, Incisor and Axe, were pulled out of the pit, they too turned out to be covered in plushy material – everywhere except their faces, in fact.One, was covered in red material which looked like a cartoon version of a hawk. The other had a green, caterpillar-like suit made of the same material.“Guys!” ?Axe said, waving, his voice somewhat muffled. “Get this stuff off us!”“Are those… Hawkmon and Wormmon?” Dragonborg asked, surprised. “And the... okay, that's really weird.”As he said that, they finally got the two trapped heroes out of the pit completely.Kat's mittens came off fairly easily, but it took much more effort to cut the plushy suit-cocoons off the two Riders. Even when they got their weapons out, it took several attacks before one was cut – though they got them off quite quickly after that."What kind of monster are we facing anyway? This is way weirder than anything I've ever deal with." said Rocky as the two looked over the scraps of cloth on the ground."No idea," Tommy agreed. "I guess the best lesson we can learn from this is that really silly traps might be how the monster works. So... keep an eye out for anything silly?" "Worth a shot. I bet those carvings on the wall in the previous room told what she did to the Sailor Scouts. I still got a picture of it somewhere on my camera phone." said Tanya as she got back up."Even if they did, we've got no idea how to translate it. But - hey, maybe Zordon would. Perhaps we should take it back to him?""That could be a bit tricky," Kat reported. "I just tried to teleport back to base - no luck. Same with phone signal. And I can't imagine anyone who could block teleporting would forget to close the door."They considered that - their way out no longer an option..."Guess all we can do is head forwards," Rocky said with a sigh. "Okay, single file so we don't fall into the pit again.""Right. What do you think we'll see next?" asked Kamen Rider Spear as the group walked along for a bit before coming to a large door. with a set of symbols showing twelve different animals with a hippo face in the center of a ring of various animals.The group opened the room to see a large circular area with a gigantic hippo statue along with several other statues standing below it and a set of paintings on the walls opposite of the statues. The Statues besides the hippo were that of a crocodile, a bear, a dragon, a seal, a cat, a horse, a dog, a songbird, a kitsune, a wolf and a rabbit."That's just... okay, what the heck is a hippo doing here?" Kamen Rider Siren asked. "And what's with all the other animals?""I'm more concerned by the paintings," Ladyborg admitted. "Look at that one!"The group turned to see a large painting of a pink hippo monster with a maid outfit warmly inviting various people into what looked like a gigantic house with a warm smile. The mural then shifted again to show the people in various stages of being put into a sleeper via various ways before showing the monster looking over what appeared to be a set of empty cribs in an unfinished mural. "Okay, so the monster captured a lot of civilians during her time after we came here. I would also say the statues could represent the captured Sailor Senshi given what happen to the people who fell into the foam trap." said Lacey Sheridan as she studied the murals intently."That... makes a disturbing amount of sense," Kat agreed."Okay, guys, I guess we know the lesson here," Dragonborg said. "Watch out for plushy stuff."There was a silence."It's a stupid lesson," Tommy said."Stupid or not, it's what we're going to have to do." Axe sighed. "Right, let's get going.”The group took a few steps forward before Len stepped on a small indentation in the floor. "What was that?" asked Josh Baldwin as the statue's slowly turned so that their mouths faced the heroes.“This... could be a problem,” Kat said. “In those old films, then things like this always turn out to be dart traps!”“RUN!” two of the Borgs shouted at once.No-one had any better ideas.As predicted the statues began firing darts out of their mouths. Most of the darts missed due to the statues slow turning speed though Len, Kit Taylor and Richie Preston were hit by a dart when they tripped and fell over another larger pressure plate. “Ow!” Kit said, fumbling at his thigh and pulling the dart out. “What the-”“Keep moving!” Kamen Rider Sting told them. “We should-”“What's this pressure plate for?” Richie interrupted.With a loud rumble, the reason for the pressure plate became clear as a large part of the ceiling dropped away to reveal a gigantic plush boulder rolling straight towards the heroes. As it rolled over the floor it became covered in a plush material just like the foam from the previous room's pit trap."Of course there's a boulder trap!" Kat said. "Quick - run to the end of the corridor! It's too wide to fit through the door!""Got it!"Kamen Rider Thrust, one of the fastest of the heroes, shot ahead to open the door before the rest of them got there.Unfortunately for Kit, though, he was a moment too late starting to run. He still managed to get away from the boulder, but it clipped his foot as he got up and covered that leg in a close-fitting plush boot with a clawed foot at the bottom."Dang it. Why does the monster have to have a thing for plush things instead of vore and mayhem?" asked Kit as he cut off the boot with his blade. "Well..." Tommy couldn't come up with an answer, and his voice trailed off. "No idea. Now, where are we?"Behind them the boulder hit the door with a soft flumph.They barely noticed, however, because of the room they were now in. It was, to put it bluntly, enormous.It resembled nothing more nor less than a huge – huge – water park.Just from where they were standing, the heroes could see at least seven big slides, four smaller ones, several pools at different levels, floats, fountains, and a wave pool. The sounds of splashing they could hear in the distance indicated that the place had to be much bigger than they could see."Wow. This actually looks like a fun place to be in if it weren't part of a monster base. Anyone see a exit?" asked Tanya as she gazed around at the crystal clear water.“Dang monsters, I guess,” Jason shrugged. “Well, there's been a monster for almost everything – remember the toad?”“We don't talk about the toad!” Rocky reminded him.“Sorry...”Thrust looked around. “I can't see any exits... but there's a bridge up there which seems to go over the top of the whole area. Maybe we can get a better view from there?”"That sounds like a start. We should still keep our eyes open though." said Len as the group headed up the bridge to an observation deck with several different bridges attached to it other than the one they just took. "Well we can see a lot the water park. Looks like the bridges lead to different areas." noted Maya as she looked over the area."Yeah, that makes sense,” Tommy agreed. “I mean, I guess if someone wanted to get from one side of the park to the other without getting wet they'd use this-”There was a creak, followed by a louder CRACK sound, and the observation deck sunk a bit.“It's about to collapse!” Kat said. “Everyone off!”The heroes scattered, running for the bridges. It was close for a few of them, but they just about made it off before the observation deck collapsed completely and fell to bits.“Well, damn!” Lacey said, slamming a fist into a palm. “Guess we've been forced to split up... okay, everyone, which way should we try to get out?”“Uh – the opposite way to how we came in?” Rocky suggested. “That way.”There were nods.“Good,” Jason said with a nod. “Everyone remember which way we have to go – and watch out for traps!”"Right!" said the group as they all filed out with the first group consisting of, Kamen Rider Onyx and Lightningborg came into a lazy river area with a few spare rafts lying around.“Is this it for ways out of here?” Onyx asked, wincing. “Guess we'll have to use it...”With a grunt, he pulled one of the rafts over. “Probably better to use these than swim...”“You're right,” Lightningborg agreed. “One each?”“Sure.”Onyx pulled another over, and got onto that one. Lightningborg got on the first, and they pushed off to float down the lazy river.For the first few minutes, it was quite calm and relaxing – the sort of thing you'd expect in any water park. Then it got a bit faster, then a bit faster again, until the river wasn't lazy in any sense of the word.“This feels more like we're shooting the rapids!” Onyx said, clutching onto the raft. “At least it's not too rough-”There was a splash, and he looked over.Something a lot like an orange tail disappeared into the water as he looked.“Lightning?” he asked. “Did you hear that?”“Hear what?” Lightningborg asked, then his head snapped around at the sound of another splash. “Okay, I heard that one – look out!”There was a burst of water, and a big grey dolphin splashed up out of the water towards Onyx's raft. It thrashed at him, trying to knock him off, and he punched it before pushing it back into the water.“It was plush!” Onyx said, surprised. “Some kind of plush monster!”“Yeah, I think we're going to be seeing a lot of those!” Lightningborg didn't have much more time to talk, though, as a big Floatzel plush tried to knock him off his own raft.The dolphin came back for another go as they rushed down the river, and Onyx and Lightningborg nearly fell off their rafts at least once. There was a moment when Onyx was only holding on by one hand, most of his body in the water and the dolphin brushing against it, but he managed to recover and pull himself back up.“Look!” Lightningborg said, pointing. “There's an exit!”He stood up, wobbling as the Floatzel tried to knock him over again, and jumped onto dry land near the door. Whirling, he reached out an arm, and managed to grab Onyx as he jumped from his further-out raft.It took a bit of effort to pull Onyx out of the water, as the Floatzel's tails tried to grab his ankle, but eventually they managed it.“Phew,” Lightningborg sighed, as the plushies swam away. “This place is crazy...”“This place is kind of strange,” Fireborg said, as they walked along a path surrounded by small plastic plants. “I mean... an underground waterpark?”“It's a monster's lair,” Tommy pointed out. “I think that a room full of spider webs would probably be more annoying. At least we can move around fine here.”“Yeah,” Fireborg shrugged. “I guess.”Torque was walking a little ahead. “Guys?”They looked up.“I think we're going to have to go down a slide?”“A... slide?” Fireborg repeated. “You're kidding.”“No, seriously!” Torque said. “Come and look!”Tommy came out into the clearing next, and the sound of rushing water got noticeably louder.“Huh,” he said. “You're right – that's a waterslide.”It was a kind of slide which had four smaller slides joined together, right next to one another. They could see it was steep for about ten metres, then shallowed out, and from there it disappeared from view.“Is this seriously the only way down?” Fireborg asked, wincing. “Right, I guess we're going to have to...”He stepped forwards, and put his hands on the rail above the slide itself. “On three?”“Right,” Tommy agreed. “One, two...”“Three!”The Ranger, the Borg, and the Kamen Rider launched themselves into the slide.They accelerated quickly on the steep slide, made slicker by the water running down it, and went into the shallower section moving quite fast.“This is actually pretty fun,” Fireborg admitted. “A lot longer than the slides you get in real waterparks! I – whoa!”They passed some jets which dramatically increased the amount of water on the slide, and the steepness of the slide increased again. It went underground, cutting off the light, and they could only use guesswork to tell what was going on.They accelerated some more, and then Tommy felt something hit him.It was a strange feeling – like his feet had run into a layer of something, which had given way around his legs but not broken completely, and was now clinging to him.They emerged into the light for a bit, and Tommy noticed that his allies were now in some kind of silly pink swimsuits. Glancing down, he noticed the same on himself – was that what he'd run into?Then they went underground again, with another blast of water.By the time they neared the bottom of the slide, all three were wearing frilly babyish swimming clothes, and armbands as well – with Tommy even wearing a rubber ring.The slide shallowed out, slowing them considerably, and then dipped down one final time.With a huge splash, they landed in a deep pool of water, and swam to the surface.“This place,” Tommy muttered as he pulled the rubber ring off, “is... stupid!”“Where are we?” Fireborg asked as he tugged the rubber armbands off and started on the swimsuit. “Some kind of... is that a road?”Blinking, Tommy looked up.The waterpark was nowhere in sight. There was a tube which blended into the trees, which was presumably what had dumped them out, but nothing else.“...well, so much for meeting up with everyone else,” Torque sighed. “Guess we should start walking.”Kat and Adam looked around as they walked along a tiled path with a slow moving wave pool right beside them. ?Kat and Adam looked around, as they walked along a tiled path with a slow moving wave pool right beside them.“No sign of the others,” Kat sighed. “This could take a long, long while to sort out... which way should we be going?”“There,” Kamen Rider Dragon Knight said, after glancing at the sky. “There's a path going around the edge of the wave pool.”Kat followed his pointing finger, and nodded. “Makes sense.”There was a quiet splash out in the wave pool.“What was that?” Kat asked, suddenly wary.“Don't know,” Adam said. “We'd better hurry.”The next splash was closer, and the two heroes hurried around the edge of the wave pool.Just as they reached the end of that section, there was a much, much louder splash as a shark plush erupted from the water with plushy fangs snapping at Kat's heels.“Gah!” she shouted, as the shark clamped onto her leg. “Get it off!”Adam grabbed onto her arm, hauling on it to try to get her out. “Don't worry – I've got you-”Something else burst out of the water to his right, and he was knocked staggering by a powerful tail slap.Glancing to his side, he saw that it was some kind of large plushy seal – it looked like-“A Dewgong?” he said, startled, and then got hit by a second slap. That one knocked him into the water, and without his help Kat was pulled in as well.The shark let her go once they were in, seeming satisfied, and they flailed around for a bit before swimming to the water surface.“We need to get out of here,” Adam said, grabbing at the poolside – and his hands promptly got slapped back by the tail of the Dewgong plushie.Kat heard something swimming towards them, turned, and saw more plushes – a Terriermon and a Lopmon, both wearing bathing suits, swimming strongly towards them through the pool.“Look out!” she called, getting Adam's attention. “I think we're about to be attacked!”As she said that, the Terriermon plush's ears sprung forwards, aiming to grab her arm. She snatched it away, and her other arm was nearly caught by the Lopmon plush.“Well, look on the bright side,” Adam quipped, as he swam over to help her – from the two plushes, and also from the three or four extra ones they could see swimming over from the distance. “At least things can't get much worse.”“Why would you even say that?” Kat hissed, then heard the sound of a siren from one end of the pool.The wave machine started in earnest.The next few minutes were complicated and confusing. The two heroes fought off attacks by the Terriermon and Lopmon plushes, as well as a smiling plush Quagsire, a clownfish and the same shark from before, as the wave machine built up to some big waves which kept breaking over them and making them splutter.Eventually, they started to tire, which was when the pool pulled its next trick.Kat noticed that she was being drawn towards the centre of the pool, and abandoned fighting back to try to get out of the whirlpool she saw forming – but that didn't help, as the plush Terriermon took advantage to grab her and push her towards the whirlpool.Adam fared no better, the Lopmon pulling him by his feet towards the whirlpool, and they were both sucked down at about the same time.Both heroes held their breath as they went down deeper and deeper into the water, struggling to try and get back to the surface again.Kat suddenly noticed something on her arm. It looked a lot like the same plushy material from earlier.She reached for it, trying to pull it off, but it was on both arms by now and she wasn't able to manage anything.The plushy material quickly thickened, forming two black-and-white flipper mittens that went over her arms. A similar material covered her torso and chest, and trapped her legs together in a pair of orca flipper booties – and she realized that she was wearing an orca sleeper.She struggled to try and get it off, but to no avail – the material resisted any attempts to remove it, and she was getting weak anyway.For Adam's part, the same plushy material began to form around him. This was a much pinker material, which formed a pair of cute little wings on his back and a thin, wispy tail out the small of his back in addition to the more general sleeper shape.A gold, plushy collar formed around his neck as he pulled fruitlessly to remove the suit, which was taking on the shape of a MarineAngemon.The two heroes soon ceased struggling, running low on air, and blacked out.The red and white beetleborgs, along with Lacey Sheridan, were up on a catwalk with a series of kiddie pools down below them.“This seems kind of strange,” Lacey said, looking down. “I mean... I get this place is just bizarre, but the kiddie pools just seem too ridiculous to be here.”“I guess they're just going along with the theme,” Josh muttered. “Hey, is it me or does this catwalk lead down there?”“Looks like it does,” Jo agreed. “No sign of any routes that don't go past it, but it looks like there's a route leading off on the other side of it from where these stairs go.”“Keep an eye out,” Lacey suggested. “But yeah, best to head down.”The long climb down the stairs revealed nothing much of interest. They dropped below the level of the dividing “scenery” separating the areas of the waterpark, then below the scenery immediately around the kiddie pools, and finally reached the lowest level with a sigh of relief.“Is it me, or does walking down a lot of stairs feel strange?” Jo asked.“You're not the only one,” Lacey assured her. “Hey, look at the walls...”Josh followed her gaze, and saw what she meant. “Yeah, that is strange.”They stared at it for a minute or so.“Are those... those look like the kind of outfits kids wear on kid's shows,” Lacey said. “You know, the shows for really young kids where all they do is sing songs.”“You're right, actually,” Josh agreed. “Like... I dunno, Sesame Street? Mother Goose club? But... why have like fifty kids in the outfits?”“Josh,” Jo said, slowly. “Those aren't kids. Look at their proportions. Those are... well, adults I guess.”Josh looked closer.“That's weird.”Lacey shrugged. “Whatever, let's get to that way out you saw.”She hurried ahead, the two Borgs trailing behind her.As she reached the entrance to the route, though, a gate swung closed behind her with a click.“What the-” she said, turning. “Guys?”“Okay, stay put!” Josh told her, speeding up. “It doesn't look high, we can-”Jo interrupted him. “Look out!”“It's playtime!” a happy voice said. “Time to sing along!”Before the startled eyes of the three heroes, at least two dozen plushies of various types came walking out from... somewhere... and formed a line.“Ready, steady, go!” one plush said, and started singing. The others began singing along in various slightly different tones.Lacey gaped. “What is this, I don't even-”As she stared, though, the dancing-along of the plushies brought them close to the similarly-shocked Borgs. With unexpected speed, two plushies grabbed the arms and legs of each Beetleborg.“Silly kids, you're not dressed!” said one big dopey dog plush. “It's time to dress up!”“Hey!” Jo shouted, struggling. “Get off!”Her protests went unheard, though, as the plushes carried her over to what looked a lot like a changing table. As a mouse plush pinned her down and a snake plush pulled over an outfit, she kicked out – to no avail.Singing a song which seemed to be about getting along with friends, the dog plush began to pull a cat sleeper up her legs.On another table, Josh was getting the same treatment. Held down, he was being put in a costume which looked a bit like a cross between a dragon and a fat wolf.The parrot putting him in the costume flapped its wings over his face, making him flinch, to keep him distracted as it busily pulled the suit up.“Hey!” Lacey shouted, rattling the gate. “Leave them alone!”Jo managed to reach her blaster before the plush suit was pulled up to her waist, and opened fire. The first shot hit the dog, which stopped singing, and the other plushes stopped singing along as well in shock.Pressing her advantage, Jo shot the one holding Josh down, and he drew his blaster as well – still mostly dressed in the dragon-wolf, but able to use his weapon just fine.The plushies scattered, moaning about mean and bratty kids, and the two Borgs were able to get down off the tables.“That was too close,” Jo said, pulling at the suit – which had become very tight around her chest and further down, and seemed to be sealing ever so slightly higher up if she didn't stop it.Lacey climbed over the gate, and her help tipped the balance, letting first Jo and then Josh get their sleepers back off again.“That was way too close,” Josh agreed, kicking the sleeper he'd nearly been trapped in. “Okay, I guess the only thing we can do is keep going.”The group continued onward for a bit before coming across a family changing area that was part of the exit. A quick glance around revealed a few spare changing tables, diapers and sleepers but no sign of the plushies other than a few wet footprints leading deeper into the changing area. "The heck?" Lacey asked. "Diapers?""I'm not sticking around to find out why," Josh said. "Quick - here's the exit, let's go!"The Red Zeo ranger walked up a set of smooth stone-pattern steps, and blinked. “Hey – Jason?”Behind him, the Gold ranger looked up – a few steps behind. “What is it, Adam?”“There's a pool over here,” Adam said, nodding forwards.Jason came up to the same step, and they looked down.“What's the point of that?” Adam asked, vaguely annoyed. “Just a load of steps down again to the pool?”He looked around. “No other paths, either... suppose we have to take this one.”“Looks like,” Tommy agreed. “Right, here we go – this one looks relatively easy, just swim across the pool.”“I don't know...” Jason hedged, as they descended.The pool was a pretty big one – much bigger than most swimming pools they'd seen – and was full of inflatable toys, from the small to the large. It was also very deep, with the water appearing a deep blue colour from up at the surface.“Still want to swim?” Jason asked.“Yeah, why?” Tommy shrugged. “Can't be too hard.”He crouched down by the side of the water, and jumped in – splashing in up to his shoulders. He shivered. “Whoo, it's a bit colder than I was expecting – what is it?”Jason pointed. “Some kind of monster!”Tommy turned, seeing the rippling water, and his eyes widened. “Whoa! Out of the water!”Doing what he said, he reached up and put a hand on the side of the pool. Adam took it, pulling as he pushed himself out, and they got him out of the water before the ripples arrived.With a splash, a large dolphin came halfway out of the water, looking at them with beady eyes, and clicked what sounded like a giggle.“...wha?” Tommy asked. “Look – it's inflatable!”The plastic dolphin was joined by another, and they clicked at each other before swimming back into the water – going deep this time.“...well, we're not swimming across that,” Jason pointed out.He glanced over at the inflatable castles and other pool toys, then at the stairs. “We didn't see any other ways out, right?”“No, that's right,” Tommy agreed. “I mean, I can see the exit over there, but... guess we're going to have to jump across these inflatable things.”Jason couldn't see any other way out of it.Fortunately, there were a lot of inflatables, and they could see at least two fairly easy routes across. Picking one, the two Rangers leapt onto the nearest inflatable – a big floating bouncy-castle thing about fifteen feet on a side.They clambered across it carefully, footing a bit unsteady on the mostly-full inflatable surface, and reached the other door ready to jump across again. (This time to a big inflatable lilo about four feet high.)As Tommy prepared to jump, though, the castle trembled suddenly.“Look!” Jason said, pointing. “Those dolphins again!”As he spoke, the inflatable dolphins rammed into the side of the castle again, making it shake and throwing off their footing.Tommy wobbled a bit, clinging to one side of the doorway, and then jumped as soon as he was steady again. He skidded a bit on the inflatable on the far side, but recovered, and nodded back to Adam.The castle trembled again, twice in succession, and Jason's jump was premature. He reached out to Tommy, who managed to grab him before he fell in the water – producing some disappointed sounding clicks from the dolphins.Hauling him up, Tommy winced. “That was close.”“No kidding.”The next jump went a bit better – they were ready for the trick this time, and the leap to a huge blow-up slide went without much fuss.As they prepared to make the jump after that, though, a splashing noise drew their attention downwards.This jump was further than normal, and in the large gap between the two inflatables there was some kind of blue plushy-creature. It was kind of like a blue tiger, or other big cat, but with a head-crest and a pair of flowing streamers on the sides.“Is that...” Tommy looked closer. “That's a Suicune, I think...”Jason blinked. “A what?”“Did you never play Pokemon generation two?” Tommy asked. “Uh – anyway, it's a Pokemon. But why is it- wait. That's a zipper!”As the two rangers watched, the zipper unzipped, revealing that it was a sleeper. The back of the sleeper opened up, seemingly waiting for a ranger to drop in.“...that's just weird,” Tommy said. “Guess we'd better not fall in. Three, two – now!”They jumped, just a moment before the inflatable slide shook as both dolphins rammed into it.Their next jump after that was from a big inflatable lilypad to a kind of floating “wood” with a half-dozen inflatable trees.The gap between them was filled by what Tommy identified as a plushy Kyogre – a big whale-like Pokemon, again with an open zipper. This time, though, the opening was in the big mouth, which gaped open inviting them to slip on the slick rubber of the inflatables.Shuddering, the two rangers made sure to get a good run up for this one.The final jump was from the wood to another castle, which was chained to the side of the pool right near the exit – providing a safe way out.The gap, though, was occupied by another of the sleepers. This one, even Adam recognized – the shell, blue skin and tail meant it could only be a Squirtle.Unlike the others, this one was swimming back and forth, ready to pounce.The dolphins swam past, and positioned themselves either side of the castle.“We're going to have to run,” Tommy said. “Ready – go!”Both friends burst into motion. They pushed against the rubbery surface of the fake wood, jumped – going just over the squirtle, which barely missed hitting them with its tail – and, slipping and skidding, ran through the inflatable castle to the side of the pool and safety.“That was way too close,” Tommy said, panting, as they walked to the exit. “What is with this place?” "Well, the monster does seem to be kind of lazy in that it wants to let it's minions do all the work." pointed out Jason as the two looked over to see a door with a men's symbol right above a drawing of a mountain."So, any sort of thing stand out to you two in this area?" asked Rocky as he and Kamen Rider Wrath and Siren took a walk down a set of stairs. “Well, not much...” Wrath muttered. “I mean, it's a waterpark. This bit down here is... kinda like a kid's version?”“Yeah, it does look like it,” Siren agreed. “All the slides are pretty tiny, and there's all those little inflatable toys and stuff.”“Guess even evil monsters remember to put the kid's areas in their water park,” Rocky chuckled. “I mean, waterparks without that kind of area are just... you know? They're not catering to some of their... sorry, got kind of off on a tangent.”The Kamen Riders chuckled.“But seriously,” Rocky resumed. “We don't know what this place is like, and there was that trap before as well. I mean, that seemed stupid, but...”“I know what you mean,” Wrath agreed, looking ahead. He stopped, looking around the area they were in. “Wait, is the only way out of here really through this kiddie area?”“I... guess?” Rocky said, shrugging.Siren sighed. “This place is even ridiculously designed. I mean, sure, I bet that walkway would let you get anywhere you wanted... but without it?”“Guess there's not much choice,” Wrath shrugged. “We can handle wet feet, easy.”He stepped forwards, feet sloshing into the shallow water – no more than a few inches deep – which filled much of the play area.“Nice place,” Siren admitted, as they waded steadily through. “I-”There was a loud clunk, and they all froze.“What was that?” Rocky asked.He soon got his answer, as a water jet from a smiling plastic hippo on the edge of the area hit him hard enough to knock him down.“Wha-” Siren began, but then had problems too, as another water jet knocked both Kamen Riders down. They struggled upright, but then got hit by another blast of water.Rocky was pushed along the floor by the force of the water jets directed at him, making him slide towards the opening to a small slide built into the play area which seemed to lead to a lower-down portion.As he approached it, though, he could look down it – and he didn't see the other end. Instead, there seemed to be something blocking the slide.The jets changed their approach, pushing him around until he was heading towards the slide feet-first.Siren was doing no better. She was trying to stand, but the fountain jets kept knocking her back down again and forcing her towards one of the inflatables – a swan-like one with handles for kids to hold onto, which seemed to be shifting as she approached. A zip began to appear, and slowly open right near her.As for Kamen Rider Wrath, he had managed to get lucky. The jets which originally knocked him down had ended up on the wrong side of a climbing frame, unable to hit him, and the others in sight were focusing on the Blue Ranger and his fellow Kamen Rider.Wrath made full use of the distraction. Summoning his phoenix, he blasted the statues he could see – first the ones focusing on Maya, then the ones focusing on Rocky.Getting gratefully to their feet, the two other costumed heroes helped him take out the remaining statue fountains and the swan-like pool toy.“That was close – good teamwork, guys,” Rocky complimented. He splashed down into the lower level to inspect the slide, and blinked. “Guys – there's some kind of... plushie duck or something in here. I... I guess if I'd been pushed down I'd have ended up stuck in it?”The Kamen Riders shrugged. “Makes as much sense as anything else, I guess...” Siren contributed.“Well... yeah,” Rocky said. He sighed. “Okay, we'd better go out the door, I guess.”They headed for the exit. As they did, Siren noticed a small sign.“Why does it say the school's this way?” she asked, puzzled.The others had no answer.“Are we sure there's no other way out of here?” Axe asked, pleadingly.“We checked. Twice.” Thrust shook his head. “This is it.”Axe sighed. “Okay, I guess we'll have to.”Rolling his eyes, he clambered onto the first of the three inner tubes waiting in the slide.The second and third were occupied by Kamen Riders Incisor and Thrust, and once all three were on the gate holding them back went click and lowered.The three inner tubes went skidding down the ramp and splashed into the water, which turned out to be a shallow area with a fast-flowing-current.“Can we get off now?” Axe asked.“No!” Incisor said quickly, pointing into the water. “Look!”Axe looked.He saw all kinds of water creatures – Water-type Pokemon, fish, orcas, otters, dolphins, plesiosaurs, frogs... and all of them were either plushies or inflatable.Fortunately, they seemed content to stay under the water, watching them.“Can they get us up here?” Thrust asked.“Doesn't look like it,” Incisor said, with a sigh of relief. “If they could, they'd have done it by now. Guess these inner tubes keep us too far off the water.”Axe was looking the way the water was carrying them – faster and faster. “Uh... guys?”They looked.The water went over a lip of white plastic material, and as they drew closer they could see it was only the start of an extensive section of “rapids”, which quickly drew out of sight and seemed to be heading directly into a hill.“Hold on!” Incisor said, just before they went over. “Whooaaaaa!”The rapids were a jouncy, juddery, bumpy ride downslope. Spray frequently splashed them, and once or twice one of the Riders nearly lost his grip on the handles of his inner tube.The brief sections where the waters got deeper – with more plushes and inflatables, waiting patiently – were an excellent reminder what would happen if they fell off.Nothing good.After a few minutes, they emerged into a larger area – sort of like an indoor hall.“Phew!” Incisor said, relieved. “It's a good thing that's over-”There was a hissing sound, as several hippo-statues in the walls sprayed foam at them.Incisor got some on his foot, and he watched incredulously as it began to plump up into a bear-like sleeper foot. “Agh! Get it off!”Holding on precariously, he kicked at the bit of sleeper, and managed to force it off and into the water. As he had been, though, Axe was hit in the arm, and had to get his new bit of sleeper off. Then Thrust, then Axe again.Incisor had at least one nasty scare when his left hand was caught while he was already using his right to get some sleeper material off. As the mitteny sleeper-glove plumped up, he lost his grip from that side, and nearly fell off his inner tube.Somehow, he managed to stay balanced on the tube, and get the mitten off – but as he threw it into the water, he noticed that there were a large number of plushies waiting just underneath him... in case he fell off.They came out the other side of the hallway after a couple of minutes, but had no time to relax as a second section of rapids started.This one ended by sending them into a circular underground room, with the main river track running slowly around the outside of the room and almost back to where it started before plunging down another hole.There was a swirling whirlpool in the centre of the room, though, and as they arrived eight plushy tentacles whipped out of it.Thrust found himself plucked from his inner tube by the plushy tentacles of an octopus. It began to dress him up in a Totodile sleeper with four tentacles while using the other four to fit on a pair of waterwings.Both the other Riders reacted quickly, blasting away at the octupus' tentacles, and managed to knock him free before the sleeper was zipped up. The octopus reached for one of them, next, but they were ready this time and knocked the tentacles back.Underwater, Thrust was badly hampered by the sleeper. He was unable to swim fast in it, and so had to spend precious time taking it off – wriggling it down his arms and legs, then kicking it off.Taking a guess, he swam in the same direction as the whirlpool for a few seconds, then swam as hard as he could for the outside of the pool – and managed to emerge from it just as his inner tube went past.With a Goldeen plush plucking at his feet, he launched himself back up through the hole of the inner tube, grabbed on, and was safe.“Thanks, guys,” he said gratefully.Then there was another bruising rapids session.“Ow,” Axe muttered, as the rapids seemed to finally calm down again. “What now...”He paused. “Wait. Can you hear that?”Both the others nodded. “It sounds like-”“A waterfall!” Incisor said. “We need to get off the river now, that's a high waterfall!”Axe pointed. “There – there's a door by the shore! Heck, there's a shore!”Thrust was the closest. He crouched, balancing precariously on his inner tube, and jumped ashore.Incisor came next. He had to jump from his inner tube to the one Thrust had been using, and made it ashore but wobbled a little before steadying.Axe had the hardest jump of all. He stood, slipped a little, and jumped – jumped – slipped, and fell through the hole of the third inner tube.Both other Riders rushed to the riverbank, and managed to pull him free before he went over the waterfall.“Thanks,” Axe said, echoing Thrust. “Good teamwork. Now... let's get out of here.”Behind them, the three inner tubes went off the waterfall.In her padded plush Gomamon suit, Sailor Neptune looked up as three objects came over the waterfall and plummeted down.“Here they come!” she said, smiling. “New fwiends!”She and Sailor Mars held out their forearms to catch the new babies – and all they got were three inner tubes.“Awww!” Mars said, pouting. “I wanted new fwiends!”Neptune pouted as well.“Log flume?” Billy asked, looking down the track. As he did, another log was started off – empty – and began the climb. “Sure, I guess...”“Can't we just follow the track without using the logs?” Ninjor demanded. “This is kind of ridiculous.”“Yeah, but...” Billy shrugged. “Look – see there? The log goes through a small opening. We don't know how far it goes in that thin route, and if a log comes through while we're walking through it then we might be hit in the back.”“Yeah, I guess.” Ninjor sighed. “But it's still ridiculous.”“Right.” Another log launched, and Billy beckoned Ninjor over to the one next in the set. “Quick, we may as well take the same one.”Ninjor sighed again, and took the back seat.They waited several seconds, and then their log kicked off and started moving.The first part of the trip was relatively tame. It was just a lot like a normal log flume, taking them up a few dozen feet at a time, and then passed through the hole Billy had pointed out.The moment they were on the other side, though, the whole situation changed.The rails were now over an impossibly high drop, and pools of water were dotted all around the rail support structure – pools each with three or four cheerful-looking plush monsters.And the flume was a lot steeper.Both heroes clung on as the log flume took them diving steeply down a slope towards a water-splash zone, and then hammered into it with water going in all directions.Shaking his head, Billy was unprepared for the next sharp turn – one which nearly threw him entirely out of the log and towards one of those plush-monster-filled pools.Clinging on hard enough his knuckles went white under his gloves, Billy managed to hold on as the flume path twisted around hard – and then in the other direction.Ninjor wasn't having a much easier time of it.They went through another splash zone, water fountaining everywhere and starting to fill the seating areas of the log, and then the log path actually did an upside-down corkscrew and nearly dropped them out.Water rushing past them, the two heroes managed to hold onto the safety rails on their seats, and then they were dropped back in as the flume righted itself.“This is crazy!” Billy shouted. “And not in the good way – whaaaa!”The log flume abruptly took a near-vertical plunge, occasionally twisting to try to throw them into more of those plush-monster pools.“Hey!” Billy called. “Ninjor? I think I see the end!”“Good,” Ninjor mumbled. “I'm not feeling very well, I want to get off.”“Well, here's our chance!” Billy replied, then looked closer. “Uh oh.”Ninjor peered around Billy. “That does not look good.”Waiting for them at the end of the ride were at least a dozen plushies. Billy saw a parrot, a cow, a Gabumon, a big burly Charizard... and they were holding two plushies (Bibarel and a seal) and smiling broadly.“I think those crazy plushes have a plan for us,” Billy said, as the log flume approached the final splash zone. “But there's a door – over on our left. We're going to have to jump out of the log before it stops – then, we might be able to get to the door before they catch us.”“Agreed!” Ninjor said. “We go when the splash hides us from them.”Billy nodded his agreement, and tensed.As their log thundered into the splash zone, they jumped. Billy hit first, rolling over a couple of times to shed momentum. He glanced back to make sure Ninjor was okay, and then sprinted for the door.Silently, the plushes started to run after them. The ones in the front were reaching out, ready to grab the heroes and immobilize them, and the ones behind were ready to help stuff them into the suits.Billy reached the door first, pushed it open, and held it for Ninjor.For his part, Ninjor was only barely ahead of the plush monsters. They snatched at his foot, nearly tripping him, but he recovered and put on a burst of speed, letting Billy slam the door closed just before the plush Charizard reached it.“Phew,” Billy said, with a sigh. “I thought we weren't going to make it.”“We should continue,” Ninjor told him. “They may be able to open the door.”“Yikes. Yeah, good point...”Andrew shrugged. “I guess it's kind of inevitable,” he said. “We're going to have to use the boat ride, there's no other way out.”His fellow Beetleborg looked dubiously at the wooden-seeming boat. “If you say so...”Sighing, Ronald got in, and Andrew followed by getting in the back seat.As soon as they were in, the boat bobbed up and down slightly and set off.“This feels kind of stupid,” Ronald muttered, as their path went through dense fake-vegetation. Then they went into a tunnel, with windows which seemed to show... something strange. Like a crystalline city.“I've heard of that place,” Andrew said, squinting. “I think that's Crystal Tokyo.”“The place the Sailor Senshi are from?”“Well, kind of... not sure of the details,” Andrew admitted.There was a kind of hissing sound which drew their attention. “What was-”“Gah!” Ronald said, waving his arm around. “Something in the wall of the tunnel just sprayed this on me!”As he waved his hand, the white foam began to harden and shift, becoming...“This looks like some kind of plush!” Ronald exclaimed, pulling on it with his other hand. With quite a lot of effort, he was able to get it off and throw it into the water.“This place is crazy,” Andrew summarized, and then flinched as a spray from the other side of the tunnel got him in the chest.As he tried to pull it off, the plush material solidified into a cream-yellow colour with brighter yellow bits on the shoulders.Ronald leaned back to help, pulling at the material as well, and between them they got it off.“This could be a problem,” Andrew said, sighing. “I-”Another sprayer opened up, hitting Ronald in the side of the head and quickly ballooning out into a great big fluffy ear.“You look like a Lopunny,” Andrew said, a little startled.“Just help me get it off!”For the next few minutes, the two went through the tunnel. Nothing particularly unusual happened – they were being sprayed by the wall-mounted plush sprayers, and had to keep pulling off the bits of costumes that formed, but that was about it.Eventually, though, they reached the end – where, perhaps surprisingly, there was no trap to be found.“That was strange,” Ronald muttered, picking at some residual fluff from a spray which had nearly gotten him stuck in an Arcanine costume. “What's with this place, anyway?”“Maybe it's how the monster works,” Andrew shrugged. "This has got to be one messed up monster then. Who created it anyway? A four year old girl who likes plushies?" responded Ronald as the two headed onward.“Okay, here we go,” Sting said, hands on the rail. “I'll go first, you follow me.”“I still don't know why we have to do this,” Ladyborg admitted.“No other route,” Sting explained. “I did check, remember – those walls were just impossible to climb.”“I guess...” Ladyborg said, with a sigh. “Okay, let's go.”She looked ahead at the watery path, which twisted and turned out of sight. “I just hope we're not making a mistake.”Sting shrugged, and pushed off into the slide. His ally followed, and they went slithering down the chute into the main course of the waterslide.Almost as soon as they were out of sight of the launching stage, the route got much rougher. It plunged down underground, and carried them through a series of short drops into rocky pools, producing huge splashes before sending them over the next drop to repeat the process.There seemed to be a kind of “underground” theme, overall – the larger areas they ended up in had stalagmites growing up from the sides of the watery path, some of them connecting with stalactites dangling from the ceiling, and the lighting was subdued and threw shadows across their route.Sting tried to stay stable, working his arms to stay on the surface of the water. “This is – gah!”Over another drop he went, hitting the water and sending up a curtain of spray.That seemed to be the last drop from that section, though, and the slide evened out a little to become a steep but stable half-pipe slide taking them deeper still underground.“How long is this going to take?” Ladyborg asked, calling from some distance behind him.“I don't know!” Sting called back, as sprayers of water added to the depth of the water carrying them downwards. “I hope there's a pool at the bottom, though, we're going pretty fast!”As he said that, the chute shallowed out a little, and he was knocked to the left by a padded bumper. Ladyborg was knocked to the right by the same bumper, and they found themselves alongside one another in parallel slides.“This is new,” Sting said, looking over at her. “You alright?”“Think so,” Ladyborg replied. “I – whoa, look out!”Sting looked ahead, and saw what she was pointing at. A series of nozzles hooked up to some kinds of tanks, which were pointed right at the section of the slide they were about to go through.He flung up his arms to try to block what he knew was coming, and most of the spray of white material aimed at him clung to his arms rather than his body.“Help!” Ladyborg called, struggling as white material coated her too. “Get this stuff off me!”“How?” Sting asked, holding up his hands – covered in white foamy material which seemed to be thickening as he watched. “I can't do anything with these on my hands!”“I'm not much better off,” Ladyborg said, as another spray covered her arms in another layer of material. It seemed to be turning brown and evening out, forming thick brown sleeves which ended in white mittens extending up halfway to her elbows.“What is this stuff?” Sting asked, trying fruitlessly to get it off. “Look out!”Another set of sprayers covered his torso and legs in the same material, despite his efforts to dodge, and Ladyborg got the same.“What's this doing to us?” she asked, looking down to try and see what the material was forming.“I think it's some kind of sleeper, like what happened in that pit trap!” Sting said, trying without success to brush the white material off. As he watched, the section of it on his lower torso thickened and turned blue – and his hands became coated in what seemed almost to be wings.Ladyborg stared for a moment. “I recognize that!”“What?” Sting asked, then his voice became slightly muffled as a wave of the material hit him in the face. “Gah!”“It's a Lugia costume!” Ladyborg said. “Look – there's the blue things on the back forming, and the tail!”“Great,” Sting muttered. “Now I know exactly how silly I look.”“What's it turning me into?” Ladyborg added, as layers of foamy spray covered her head as well. “I can't see very well-”Flailing around with the big wings covering his arms – and trying to ignore how it was much thicker around his waist than anywhere else - Sting managed to get a good angle to see what Ladyborg was being covered with. “I think... yeah, I think that's a Mega Lopunny. The ears look-”Neither of them had been looking down the slope, so both were surprised when they hit a pool of water. It sent them underwater for several seconds, and then the current carried them out of it onto another slide.“Ow,” Sting said, shaking his head. “That wasn't much fun...”“It...” Ladyborg seemed almost lost for words. “It dressed you up!”“What?” Sting looked down at himself, seeing a pair of shorts over the large, padded hips of the costume and some kind of jacket on his chest. “What's it done to me?”“You look like you're a Lugia wearing a Pokemon Trainer outfit!” Ladyborg said, trying to explain. “One of those hats, and – it just looks really familiar!”She blinked. “Wait. Did it dress me up, too?”Sting looked, and winced. “Uh... yeah.”“What did it do?” she asked. “What do I look like?”Sting examined it again. The pink bonnet... the pink top which included built-in mittens... the footed trousers... and the obvious bulge at the waist.There was no other way to put it.“You've been... dressed in baby clothes, I guess,” Sting said. One hand went down to his crotch, and he felt the thickness there. “Though...” his cheeks flamed. “I guess we're both stuck in diapers at the moment.”Blushing as well, Ladyborg brushed at the clothes for a moment with her trapped, mittened hands. “I can't get it off.”“Neither can I,” Sting said. “I think all we can do is hope that we'll work out some way of getting it off at the bottom of the slide.”Reminded of that, both of them looked down.“I think that's the end!” Ladyborg said, pointing as best she could. “There's a big slide, and then a pool, and I think that's it!”“I hope you're right,” Sting agreed, as they approached the steepest section of the slide.The last few dozen metres of the long, long waterslide passed in a confusing rush, and then the heroes managed to waddle out of the pool at a set of stairs.“I feel stupid,” Sting muttered, legs forced apart by the suit and making him waddle. “What the heck is this place, anyway?”“I've got no more idea than you,” Ladyborg admitted. “Hey... wait, look!”She pointed.“What is it?” Sting asked, not seeing it.Deciding to demonstrate, Ladyborg waddled awkwardly over to one of the stalagmites sticking up from the cavern floor. She dug the sharp tip into the material covering her elbow, and managed to puncture it.Grunting with effort, she expanded the tear up to her wrist, and then got a hand free. Using that free hand, along with the stalagmite to make more tears, she slowly and painstakingly pulled the Mega-Lopunny suit off her.That finally done, she helped Sting do the same with his Lugia costume.The whole process took what felt like half an hour, and left both of them panting with the effort, but they didn't mind – getting the suits off was more than enough to motivate them.“What now?” Ladyborg asked eventually.Sting looked around, and kicked the Lugia suit into the water. “I'm – ergh – not sure,” he admitted. “There's only one exit I can see... guess we'll have to take that.” "Great, so we head deeper into the monster's traps on our own. Freaking Fantastic." said LadyBorg as the two jogged deeper into the cavern."So what do you think we'll see next?" asked Kamen Rider Chamo as he saw a various signs in the water park showing off the rides and plushie suited people there. Karato shrugged. “Dunno.”“You know, this place would probably be fun to visit,” Tanya said, looking around. She couldn't see many of the other rides, but she could hear them and occasionally see the plastic surface of a tube. “If it wasn't some kind of monster lair, I mean.”“Good point,” Chamo said, nodding. “It's not a great place, but...”“What's with the suits?” Karato interrupted, pointing at the sign Chamo had been looking at.Tanya frowned. “Mascots, maybe?”“If that's the case, what was with that pit trap?” Karato pressed. “I'm kind of worried, is all...”They rounded a bend, and found themselves on a path which quickly broadened out towards a swimming pool.There was no obvious way around – indeed, the pool seemed to go a long way either side of the section of smooth tiling they were on – and the far side was quite a considerable distance away.“Did we take a wrong turn?” Tanya asked, blinking.“I don't think so,” Karato said. “There haven't been any turnings to take in the first place, so how could we take a wrong one?”Tanya had no answer to that.“Hey, look,” Chamo said, pointing. “There's fish in here.”Tanya bent over the poolside, looking closer. “Wow, yeah... those look like clownfish, and those are little cleaner wrasse...”“Guys?” Karato said, as he looked himself. “Those aren't fish.”“What are you talking about?” Tanya asked. “Of course they're – wait.”“Exactly,” Karato agreed, as she looked closer. “They're made of some kind of plushy material – like a soft toy or bath toy, I guess.”“Weird,” Chamo said succinctly. “Well, I guess we've not got much choice except to swim across this – look.”He nodded towards the distant far side.“There's a door there – and it's not like we've seen any other routes out of here. Or other routes full stop.”“Guess you're right,” Karato admitted. “Let's go, then.”He crouched on one knee by the poolside, waiting for the others, and then dove in.They were able to swim quite quickly in the warm, soothing water of the pool. The fish occasionally swam up inquisitively, but then darted away again just as quickly when the heroes batted at them or just when they kept swimming.“This isn't so bad,” Chamo said, stroking steadily. “Kind of relaxing...”Tanya saw the danger first. “Look out!”She pointed into the water.Karato slowed, looking closer. “What is it? I don't see – wait, there-”Their attackers were almost transparent in the water, and barely visible. Tendrils lashed out, wrapping around their arms and legs, and drawing them deeper into the water.Chamo struggled, pulling on the ropelike plush ensnaring his wrists and ankles, but unable to loosen it. He was pulled deeper in stages, unable to struggle free, and then enveloped by something cool and springy – almost feeling like an inflatable.Lungs burning, he took a gasp of air when the whatever-it-was stuck his head into an air-filled cavity underwater. Once he felt less lightheaded, he looked around for the others.Tanya caught his eye first. She was caught in the same kind of thing which had ensnared him – it looked like an inflatable plush jellyfish, of all things – and through the translucent body he could see it was using its tendrils to wrap her in plush material.Layer after layer went on, and Chamo realized it was building up what looked a lot like an Entei plush around her outfit – the shaggy brown fur, the mask on the face, the thick grey paws and the spikes on the back. He also saw what looked like an unusually thick bulge forming around her waist.Turning as best he could in the mummifying tendrils wrapped around his own body, he saw that Karato was getting a similar treatment – though the design of the suit was different.He was being wrapped in layers upon layers of plushy wool, making him look like nothing more nor less than a fat, plushy sheep – his head poking out of the top underneath a smiling sheep-head made of more plush.Chamo wondered what he was being wrapped in, and struggled more – to no avail, the tendrils were keeping him snug and secure, unable to move.It was probably a bad sign that it was keeping his arms tight against his side, though. Both of the others clearly had theirs free to move.Tanya felt the jellyfish-like plush start to loosen its grip.Thinking fast, she took a deep gulp of air before it released her entirely, letting her out into the deep water of the pool.She looked around as she dropped, and saw both of the others – Karato in a sheep costume, and Chamo-She had to look twice, and still barely believed her eyes.Chamo was dressed like an ice cream. His lower half was in a kind of plushy “cone”, and three large puffy blobs of plush stuck above it – one with his head poking out, the other two with nothing discernable besides plush.She waved to catch the attention of Karato, and then pointed to Chamo and then to the surface.Karato seemed to understand. Swimming with some difficulty in his plushy, wooly suit – which seemed to be soaking up water even faster than she could feel hers was – he came over to help her lift Chamo from the bottom of the pool.The two heroes started swimming up.As they did, though, something caught Tanya's eye.They'd drifted over to one side of the aquarium, it seemed – there was a glass wall not far off. And, on the other side of the glass, she saw two plush Pokemon pawing at the glass as if they wanted to get through.Tanya recognized them. One was a Suicune plush, the other a Raikou plush.She'd already worked out she was in an Entei plush, so that seemed... ominous.Deciding to worry about it if it became a problem, she swam for the surface, and they got there before lack of air became a problem.Tanya panted in air, held up Chamo so he could do the same, and they set off for the bank. The jellyfish were still there, but they seemed to be ignoring the heroes now they were suited.Karato got one suited arm over the lip of the pool, feeling the huge weight of all the water-saturated fabric now it wasn't being supported by the water, and began hauling himself out. Muscles burning, he managed to get his wooly sheep-suit out of the water.As he did, though, there was a sodden ripping noise.He lay on the poolside, panting, and then investigated. It seemed that one of the seams had actually broken under his arm, and he could see his suit beneath it.He wasted no more time in making the tear larger. Clawing at it clumsily with his hoof-like mitten, he managed to get the tear large enough that the whole arm section separated from the rest, and then with an arm free the rest was easy.He pulled Chamo out, then Tanya, and repeated the process with them – making a tear in the sodden suit fabric, then expanding it until it failed completely.“Thanks,” Tanya panted.“Yeah,” Chamo agreed. “I don't know how I'd have been able to-”He kicked out suddenly as a plushy tendril snatched at his leg.“I guess the jellyfish don't like their handiwork being ruined!” he said, getting away from the edge of the water. The others nodded, following, and they left through the door before something worse happened. As the trio left the area, they could hear the pained howls of the Raikou and Suicune plush.…Dragonborg trudged steadily along the path. “Is it me, or is this place kind of... themed?”“It's a waterpark,” Kamen Rider Spear pointed out. “They're kind of themed to water.”“No, I mean -” Dragonborg waved at the foliage. “Palm trees, fronds of beach grass... I guess we're supposed to be on a beach or something?”“I guess so,” Spear agreed. “Still, doesn't seem that surprising.”They rounded a bend, and were confronted with a large expanse of water – seemingly far too big to be underground. There were surfboards in a big rack just before the waterfront, and a few piles of other beach paraphernalia – deck chairs, towels, and a couple of big bouncy balls.“...right, sure,” Dragonborg said. “Underground surfing beach.”“It's not a beach,” Spear said. “Look, the water starts right there.”“But what are the surfboards for?”Spear stepped a little further out onto the waterside, and heard a loud boom sound to his right. Looking, he saw an inlet with a big metal grille, which let out another boom as he watched and sent out a big wave of water.“There,” Spear said, pointing. “That's what's making the waves to surf on... I guess you go that way?”He squinted. “I see a beach kind of area at the other end... and there's waves breaking on it. Wow, those are going a long way... and bigger when they get to the beach than they are here?”A voice caught his attention. “Spear? Is that you?”Dragonborg looked at the same time he did, and they both saw Kamen Riders Wing Knight and Strike coming out of another path to their left.“Guess our paths took us to the same place!” Wing Knight said, waving. “Nice to see you.”“Yeah, more sanity is better in a place like this,” Dragonborg chuckled. “Any ideas?”“Well, we could swim...” Strike said. “I mean, we really could. But I think it'd be better to use these surfboards.”He lifted one. “They're right here, after all.”Turning, he saw that the others were all looking at him in astonishment. “What?” he asked.“Look at the board!” Spear said.Strike spun his board to look at it, and blinked. “Okay, that's just strange.”“Is that a person in a shark costume?” Dragonborg asked, peering over his shoulder.“Yeah...” Spear said. He picked up another of the boards. “This one's got someone wearing a palm tree costume!”“This one's a dolphin,” Wing Knight contributed.Dragonborg picked one out himself. “And I don't even know what this is...”The others looked at it for a minute or so.“I think it's some kind of seal,” Spear said eventually as he gazed at the gomamon costume as a teenaged girl looked out of the mouth of the costume with a carefree expression. The person in question was wearing a flowing blue green dress on top of her costume along with some freaky make up on her face.“Weird. Well, I guess we should get going,” Dragonborg said. “It'll be quicker to surf... unless there's another way out here? Was there one along your way in?”“Nope,” Wing Knight said, shaking his head. “No luck for us.”Spear took a few seconds to scan the sides of the area they were in. “No sign of a door.”“Then surfing it is,” Strike said firmly."Let's go then. I don't want to ambushed here." said Len as he got his surfboard into the water and slowly paddled out into the surfing section with the rest of the group following close behind. “This is easier than I was expecting!” Dragonborg said, arms out to the side for balance. “I mean – I've seen people surfing before, on TV, but it's not supposed to be this easy!”“It's not, not usually,” Strike told him. “Normally the waves are a lot trickier than this. This seems to be almost... I don't know, magic?”“Might be,” Spear agreed, sounding a little nervous at the reminder they were inside a monster's lair – despite the blazing “sun”, the smell of the sea, and the warm air like they were at the best surfing beach in the world.“Still, we're getting across the pool quickly,” Wing Knight pointed out. “So it's not all bad.”Dragonborg nodded. “Makes sense to... me?”The change in the tone of his voice got everyone else on guard. “What?” Spear asked.Dragonborg pointed. “Over there!”The three Riders followed his finger, and saw what he was pointing at – several shapes, in the distance but getting closer quickly.Strike took a long look. “They're on surfboards too,” he reported. “They're surfing towards us on the same wave... and I guess that means they're going to turn up right next to us.”“Does that mean-” Spear began, and Strike interrupted him with a gasp.“They're people in suits!” he said, incredulously. “People in suits on surfboards!”“No, they're not,” Wing Knight overruled him. “I think those are just plushes. Look, the octopus one is too small to have a person in.”“But the shark one looks just like-”“Can we focus!?” Dragonborg shouted. “We're about to be attacked! How do we fight on surfboards?”“I guess we'll have to do the best we can,” Spear said, readying himself.They readied themselves, wobbling slightly on their surprisingly stable surfboards, and then the surfing plushes attacked.Spear found himself being attacked by a plush which looked a lot like an Agumon. This one was larger than the one he'd seen on TV, nearly as tall as him, and wearing a pair of shades and some Hawaiian shorts – it looked a lot like he imagined a surfer to, except for... well, being an Agumon.It slammed its surfboard into his, and he wobbled a lot from the impact before fighting back with a punch and a martial arts kick.It was like punching a pillow – all the force got absorbed, his fist sinking several inches into the fluff and doing nothing to the Agumon at all.Making a fist, the Agumon replied with a punch of its own.Strike got attacked by the surfing octopus. As it attacked, he noticed absently that there were a lot more crossing-over waves now – letting the plush attackers get at all of them at once.He felt a tentacle of plush wrapping around his ankle, and snatched it back – then kicked out as another tentacle went for his other leg, trying to avoid being tripped up.Muttering something unprintable, Strike caught two tentacles as they tried to get his arm and tied them in a tight knot.That slowed the octopus down, but didn't stop it.Wing Knight ducked as the Surfing Pikachu's tail slapped at him, and it went barely over his head.This was completely crazy! He was on a surfboard, having a martial arts fight with a Pikachu plush six feet tall on another surfboard... he briefly wondered if he was having a very peculiar dream.The tail hit him the second time, and he winced before blocking a small electrical attack it sent at him and retaliating with a kick.This one managed to destabilize the Pikachu, and it went into the water with a splash.Wing Knight chuckled, then heard another splash. His head whipped around, and he saw Dragonborg falling off his board as a plush shark body-slammed into him.Dragonborg spluttered as he went into the water, followed by the shark plush. He looked around to get his bearings, and began swimming for the light of the water surface – but as soon as he did, a sudden and intense current began to drag him back down.A surfboard fell over overhead, and he saw Spear splash into the water just the same as he had. Spear struck out for the surface as well, but barely broke the surface before the intensifying current snatched him back underwater.The two heroes were hauled towards the bottom of the incredibly deep pool and shot along a tunnel within seconds.“Guys!” Strike called, finally managing to knock the octopus off its board. “Where are you?”“I saw Spear come up for a moment,” Wing Knight said. “He got dragged right back down.”Strike winced. “I guess... well I guess the only thing we can do is keep going, they'll be impossible to save now.”Wing Knight nodded. “I can't even see them any more.”As he was talking, the water began to shallow. The wave they were on built up, and then crashed to the shore – launching them off their surfboards, and rolling them along the beach a few times before they slowed to a halt and were able to get up.Glancing back at the water, they set off for what looked most like an exit.Dragonborg emerged into open air, and looked around. “Strike! Where... what the...”He – and Spear, who surfaced a moment later – were in some kind of... underground cavern. A pool of water – the pool they were floating in – in the centre, and a rim of rock just above water level all around the edge to stand on.Even stranger, there was a cheerfully marked EXIT just visible around a small pillar of rock. There were a lot of wet foot prints on the floor but nothing that was extremely recent. "So, more plushies have been here. I wonder what they were doing here?" asked Dragonborg as he climbed out of the pool. "Probably waiting for victims to fall in. I bet we'll see the owners of the footprints really soon." said Kamen Rider Spear as he noticed a set of three toed foot prints and a quadrupedal set of three toed foot prints.Spear proved to be right. As soon as they approached the tunnel mouth, there was a loud – but strangely muffled – bark.Both heroes jumped to readiness, preparing for trouble. They got it, as a big orange-red Growlithe plush came loping around the corner and pounced on Dragonborg.He ducked, kicking out in a high kick as the Growlithe passed over, and produced a flumph of impact hitting plush.Landing and growling, the Growlithe turned to face him.“Aw, ya messed it up!”Spear looked up, and saw a Veemon – clearly another plush – come walking out around the corner.“Hurry it up!” the Veemon said. “We gotta get 'em for the Fire Princess an' the Water Princess!”“Who are they?” Dragonborg asked.“None o' your business!” Veemon snapped. “Vee-headbutt!”He lunged forwards, head first and aiming for Spear's torso. Spear tried to block, but Veemon still hit him hard enough to make him stagger backwards with an audible whoof of air.At about the same time, the Growlithe pounced again. Dragonborg was bowled over by the impact, rolled once, and kicked the Growlithe plush off again hard enough that it hit a wall.That didn't seem to faze it, however, and it quickly ran in again.Spear quickly worked out a way to deal with the annoying Digimon. He waited for it to make another of those headbutting attacks, and then stepped to the side and grabbed it by the arm. Using its own momentum, he swung it around and threw it out into the pool.It hit with a splash, immediately starting to become waterlogged.Now able to help Dragonborg, Spear pulled the Growlithe off him and tried to pin its paws. It breathed a kind of flame from its mouth which licked at his face, warm and a little dizzying, and Spear started to lose his grip before Dragonborg intervened to help get rid of the Fire-type Pokemon plush.Panting, Dragonborg watched as the Growlithe began to become waterlogged itself. “Are we done?”“I guess-”There was a snatch of whale-song, and the water heaved upwards in the pool.Both heroes raised their arms to ward off sprays of water, and then saw what had caused them.A huge plush Lugia, at least five metres tall, hovering just over the pool. It turned to face them, and began to fly over.“Run!” Dragonborg shouted, and they ran for the tunnel.They made it a little before the Lugia plush, which tried to snap at them with its beak as they kept running. Looking back, Spear spotted that its throat was lined with soft plush material – it was probably going to have tried to swallow them.The sound of the Lugia gradually died as they ran along the tunnel, and both Spear and Dragonborg began to feel that – maybe – they'd managed to get past the worst this place had to throw at them.The two looked around and saw they were still in a cavern though right now it looked like someone or something had been using it for practice in designing a few statues in a classical style. The statues were uncompleted for the most part so they could tell they were of humanoid shapes but that was about it. Shrugging, the two assumed it was just another bit of strangeness they wouldn't solve at this moment and continued on down the cavern.…"So what do make of this area so far?" asked Lightningborg as the two walked through a large air dryer and came to a large marble hallway with dozens of expensive looking art objects on display. “Well... it's...” Onyx looked around, trying to find a way to put it. “Arty?”He looked more closely at one of the paintings. “Though I've got no idea what style they're going for...”“Yeah,” Lightningborg agreed. “This portrait looks like... a Charmander wearing a long, ermine cape? Why would someone paint a portrait of that?”“Your guess is as good as mine,” Onyx said with a shrug. “Hey, that one's some kind of hippo!”They looked at it.“It looks kind of creepy,” Lightningborg muttered. He moved his head from side to side. “It looks kind of like it's following me.”“That just means the painting's good,” Onyx waved off. “The Mona Lisa does the same.”Lightningborg looked dubious. “If you say so...”He tapped the marble floor with his foot. “I'm more concerned with the floor and the walls. It all looks expensive all of a sudden. And this is next to a swimming pool?”“Monster lair,” Onyx reminded him. “It doesn't have to make sense.”“Yeah, but when it doesn't then I get worried,” Lightningborg said, glancing around the room. “Especially with all these creepy statues and paintings... remember the plushes? That dolphin, that Floatzel? I'm getting the same kind of vibe here.”Onyx shrugged. “Let's see if we can find a way out of here, then.”He looked around, and pointed. “There seems to be a corridor that way.”The corridor was decorated the same way as the art room had been, though there weren't as many sculptures. Just a few paintings on the white-plastered wall, between the columns which stretched up to the roof over twenty feet overhead.The floor was more marble, though it was a kind of veiny red colour instead of the grey-purple of the previous room.The heroes walked down the corridor in silence for at least a minute, looking around for any clues, until they reached the door at the other end.This one seemed to lead into a room which was different again.“Is this some kind of dressing room?” Onyx asked, looking around at the desks and makeup kits and mirrors – and the many, many wardrobes. He walked over to one, and pulled the door open.Inside, neatly hung up, were about ten thick, plushy sleepers of various types. He saw a cow, a fox, a rabbit, a blue hedgehog, what he thought was a Sylveon...And there also seemed to be piles of folded plastic, very thick. He picked one up, unfolding it, and then dropped it in surprise.It was a huge, thick, white diaper.“The heck?” he asked, stepping back. “What's that doing in a dressing room? For that matter, why's there such a big diaper at all? That's sized for someone my size!”“I just looked in one of the other wardrobes,” Lightningborg said, from nearby. “There's all kinds of outfits – dresses, costumes, that kind of thing, but they're all really babyish. The kind of thing you'd see a two year old wearing, or something.”“This place is bizarre,” Onyx said, and sighed. “Okay, I believe you about it, it's worrying.”“Like that's surprising,” Lightningborg muttered. “Let's keep going.”The next room they ran into was another dressing room, though the theme was different. The order of the day here was more boyish outfits, and the diapers were blue – though everything was still just as babyish, and there were several plush padded sleepers in the only wardrobes they checked.The cupboards had things like baby powder and milk in, which was worrying.“What is this, some kind of room for big babies?” Onyx asked, baffled, as he found a pile of thick plush mittens.Lightningborg shrugged."Excuse me, good sirs, would you like some help in finding appropriate outfits for the ball?" asked a voice from behind them. Lightningborg and Kamen Rider Onyx quickly turned around to see a Empoleon plushie in a tuxedo and waiters outfit along with a empty drink tray. “Ball?” Onyx asked, noticing that bit first. The whole image was so strange that he had to take it a bit at a time.For his part, though, Lightningborg focused on a different part. “Are you a penguin in a tuxedo?”The Empoleon plush inclined his head in a slight bow. “I am indeed, sir.”“That's... I just... what?” Lightningborg asked, baffled. “Why and how and... what the heck?”“I don't understand the question, sir,” the plush said politely. He turned to Onyx. “The royal ball, sir. It's the event of the month. I was just going to get more drinks from the kitchen.”“There's a ball?” Onyx repeated. “How... okay, that's not helping.”He rubbed his temples. “Right. I guess we should go there, or something. Maybe there'll be a clue there, and it's that or wander around this place lost for hours on end.”“Wait, wait, wait,” Lightningborg said. “I'm still not understanding the penguin thing. Just... why?”“Princess Pudypands prefers to be served by the appropriate animals,” the butler-ish Pokémon said in reasonable tones. “She's very discerning.” He turned back to Onyx again. “The ball is in the great hall, sirs. The corridor through this door here,” he indicated with his free flipper, “and then the first left, second right, and through the double doors.”“Thanks, I guess,” Onyx said.Lightningborg frowned. “One more question.”“Indeed?” the butler asked, inclining his head.“How did you do up the bow tie if you've got plushy flippers for hands?”“The same way I serve drinks, sir. With panache.” The butler bowed again, and waddled off.“That was bizarre,” Lightningborg muttered. “Polite, though.”He frowned. “Wait, did he say Princess Pudypants?”Onyx shrugged.The directions led them down more marbled hallways, complete with portraits on the walls.There was something of a new theme in the portraits, though – more and more of them seemed to have childish clothes on. There was still a royal theme, of sorts, but biased towards being childish – there would be a Houndour, dressed as a princess in a flowing cape, but also clearly wearing a diaper underneath it. Or there would be a Patamon with a crown on his head, and wearing a thick onesie with a noticeable bulge around the middle.The heroes didn't know what to make of it, so they just kept going.Eventually, though, they came to the promised double doors.“I guess we should go in,” Onyx said.“Looks like,” Lightningborg agreed. “Okay, on three. One, two, three!”They pushed the doors open.The sight that greeted them was... unusual, to say the least.It was certainly a great hall – it had chandeliers, it had windows letting in a diffuse white light, it had a floor of artfully arranged flagstones.And it had dozens of plushies spread throughout it, mingling as if they were at a party.Onyx spotted a Riolu plush chatting with a silky-furred plush ferret, talking about something which was clearly interesting to both of them. As he watched in astonishment, a plush version of the alicorn Princess Cadence came over to join the conversation, and they welcomed her warmly.Near them, there was a plush Ivysaur and a rubbery, pooltoy-ish Gabumon each taking a drink from a pair of wine glasses, then talking about some other topic with great enthusiasm. And, in the background, he could see a string quartet – a pony, a Rhydon, a canine Labramon, and what looked an awful lot like a plush version of Tails from the Sonic games – tuning their instruments.“What the...” Lightningborg whispered. “Are they all some kind of plush or toy?”“I guess they must be,” Onyx whispered back.“Hey, look!” a plush Buizel said, pointing at them. “New people!”“But they're not dressed,” the Princess Cadence said. “Princess Pudypants, what should we do?”All the plushes in the room turned towards the back, and the two heroes saw a Terriermon-suited person sitting on a small throne.The first thing that was obvious about the suit was that it was dressed head-to-toe in babyish clothes. It was ridiculously babyish, including a diaper, and a plastic-looking shiny crown was about the only princess-y thing about the outfit.The second thing was that there was clearly a thick diaper bulge built into the suit.And the third thing was that, under the clowny makeup, it was Sailor Chibiusa in there.“Chibiusa?” Onyx said, astonished.“It's Pwincess Pudypants!” the former Senshi said petulantly. “And you're not dressed right!”"Well, at least we figured out what happened to the Sailor Senshi and the various civilians." muttered Lightningborg."Uh, what do you mean by not being dressed right?" asked Onyx as he tried to divert the conversation.“Don't you know anything?” Chibi asked, putting her costumed hands on her padded hips. “I'm going to teach you a lesson!”“Yeah!” one of the plushies said. “You know best, Pwincess!”“I think we should be worried now,” Onyx said with a wince.Chibi pulled her wand out from a pocket in her dress. It looked like a toy version of her original wand, as though it was made of plastic, but it still crackled with power.“Get them!” she ordered.Plushies surged forwards.“Whoa!” Lightningborg said, caught by surprise as the plushies advanced. He knocked one away with a kick, and tried to attack the second with his weapon, but two others took his arms before he was able to. Lashing out with a kick, he only hit the plush Cadence in the side, and then they took his legs too and he was unable to break free from the surprisingly strong plush grips on his wrists and ankles.Onyx had a bit more warning. He jumped back as the Gabumon tried to trip him up, and blasted the next toy to attack him – the plush ferret, which went skidding backwards.As he tried to attack one of the ones holding Lightningborg, plushy vines whipped out and snared his weapon hand. He tried to reach it with his free arm, but the Tails plush dropped in and knocked him down with a sweep of its two tails.Onyx tried to get up again before they managed to pin him, but the Buizel sleeper and the Tails sleeper kept battering him with their tails and tripping him up. He managed to kick the Tails sleeper away, and staggered to his feet – then the Ivysaur plush tugged him over again, and an inflatable lizard grabbed his free hand as he fell.He had no more luck kicking out at the plushes than Lightningborg had, and soon he was held as helplessly as his ally.“You've been naughty!” Sailor Chibiusa said. “Don't worry, though, you'll be better soon! Just wait, I'll get your sleepers ready!”“Let us go!” Onyx said, struggling.The Tails put two plush fox-tails in front of his mouth, muffling his voice.Chibiusa raised her wand, twirled it, and beamed. “Pwincess Pudypants power... make costume!”Energy flashed from her wand, and swirled around the room. It seemed to become thicker and more solid as it circled, picking up substance from somewhere, and then the heroes noticed that it was actually carrying along threads and sheets of fabric.The magic focused in on two places on the clear areas of the floor.Before the eyes of the astonished Onyx, a costume began to take shape. Thick, plush and overstuffed, with an especially large bulge around the waist. Long, up-curled booties, a plush spear in one hand and a plastic shield in the other, and a mask which nearly hid the face..It took the Kamen Rider a moment to recognize it as a PawnChessMon sleeper.“The heck?” he mumbled around the plush tails.For Lightningborg's part, he saw orange-yellow material streaming together on the floor in front of him.Though it was puffed at least as much as Onyx's one was, it was differently put together. Rather than booties – or mittens – all four limbs ended in simple plush nubs. It was obvious that it would be nearly impossible to hold anything when wearing this suit.The waist was thick, and as it shifted there was an unmistakeable crinkling sound – which made Lightningborg suspicious that there might be a diaper underneath it. On each side he could just about see three red apples.There were a pair of wings visible at the back – clearly for show – and a plushy, plastic horn over the muzzle.Finally, he realized what it was. It was an alicorn version of Applejack, from My Little Pony.“What-” he said, startled.“Don't you worry none, nope,” said a deep voice next to him. He glanced away from the forming sleeper, and saw a plush Big Mac was the one holding his left arm. “You won't be hurt none.”That didn't make Lightningborg feel much better.Finally, the swirl of magic died away, and the costumes shifted slightly.“Ta-da!” Chibiusa said, giggling. “Now, make sure that our guests are dressed! They have to be dressed properly for the ball!”"You don't expect us to wear those things do you?" asked Lightningborg hopefully.“Of course I do!” Chibi said, in insulting tones. “Silly!”She pointed. “Costume them!”Onyx' eyes widened, and he tried to struggle. The four plushies holding his arms and legs held him tightly, though, and a fifth one – the Buizel – unzipped the back of the PawnChessMon sleeper.Working together, they forced his left foot, then his right, into the gap in the back of the sleeper. At first it felt roomy, but as soon as his feet started going into the legs of the plush costume it began to feel tight and snug and warm.It felt disturbingly good to the Kamen Rider, actually, though he tried to ignore it and get free. He kicked out, and the plush of the PawnChessMon outfit absorbed all the force so he didn't actually hit his target very hard at all.Once his feet were in the booties of the sleeper, the plushes coordinated pushing him the rest of the way in. His hands were inexorably slid into the sleeves of the sleeper, the waist snuggled up to his crotch with a warm, even pressure from waist to thighs, and his head went into the head of the suit – looking out the open mouth.He tried one last time to escape the plush outfit, but the zrrrp of the zipper put paid to that. He couldn't possibly reach it, or even undo it if he could with these mittens.As for Lightningborg, his struggles were even less able to do anything useful. With the Riolu plush holding up the sleeper, they put him in head-first – forcing his arms into the sleeves and his head up into the head section of the sleeper, so it looked out of the open Applejack mouth – before bending his legs and carefully easing them into the lower portion of the plushy suit.He heard the crinkes that confirmed his guess – the suit had a diaper built into it – and blushed, struggling even though it produced more embarrassing crinkles, and even though he could hear the poppers being done up to seal him in.“Much better!” Chibiusa said, once they were both plushed and zipped or popped up. “Now, you just need your dancing outfits!”"You've got to be f****** kidding me." muttered Onyx under his breath as the Tails and Ivysaur plush scurried off out of the door to the ballroom. "Couldn't we just have a normal fight instead of this? It would be more fun for us." said Lightningborg as his face turned beet red from embarrassment.The plushies soon had the 'dancing outfits' ready, despite the protests of the two heroes.Onyx found himself being dressed in a short blue onesie by the Ivysaur plush, with frilled cuffs about a third of the way down the arms of his Digimon costume and about the same distance down his legs, which did nothing to hide the bulge of the sleeper underneath. On top of that, a light blue waistcoat was buttoned on – which did even less, somehow managing to draw attention to the bulged waist by what it didn't cover.There were even ribbons, tied onto the spikes on the helmet of his suit.“I look ridiculous,” he muttered, as the Gabumon held up a mirror for him.“Silly!” the Buizel said, giggling. “You're just right for the dance!”Onyx blushed furiously, trying to ignore the faint crinkling sounds his outfit was making.Lightningborg's outfit was a continuation on a theme. He was already wearing an Applejack sleeper, and now his ball dress was an Applejack themed dress.There were a pair of boots which went on snugly over his plush hoof-shaped booties, green with red apples on the ankle supports.The main dress was green too, with a white border just above the base – with more red apples on – and a brown faux-leather fringe. An apple brooch held it together over his chest, and there were holes in the back for his costume's wings.As a finishing touch, there was a stetson too, which went just behind the costume-horn.“What's-” Lightningborg began.“Attention!” Chibi interrupted. “It is now time for the waltz! Everyone pick a partner!”Lightningborg's plush forehooves were immediately grabbed by the Big Mac plush. “Don't you worry,” he repeated, gently. “I'll see you right.”“Get off!” Lightningborg said, trying to pull himself free.“Nope,” Mac replied simply.The music started, and Lightningborg found himself being dragged in a kind of stumbling waddle around the dance floor – plush costume, ridiculous dress, and all.For his part, Kamen Rider Onyx ended up grabbed by the Buizel plush and pulled around the dancefloor. It started off pulling him hard, having to do so as he tried to resist being pulled everywhere, but as time went on it slowly reduced the amount it was pulling.Onyx found himself listening to the music, almost against his will. It was quite pleasant, and relaxing – which, he guessed, was kind of the point of a slow dance like a waltz.Every time he took a step, he felt the pressure of the diaper underneath his sleeper... but it was no longer quite so intrusive. It felt... snug, almost.“Doesn't it feel nice to dance for once?” the Buizel sleeper whispered, its words barely audible, and Onyx nodded absently.The music was nice.“Ah bet y'all feel all soft and comfortable,” the Big Mac plush said, softly, and Lightningborg had to agree. The suit was soft. And it did, if he was honest, feel comfortable.Seeing the dozens of plushies dancing gently in pairs, Lightningborg started to lose sight of why they were here in the first place. It seemed... unimportant.After all, these couldn't be dangerous, could they?”Mac made another turn, and Lightningborg followed without being forced to, lost in the slow rhythms of the music.“It's just a dance,” Mac whispered. “You're enjoyin' it really, ain't you?”Lightningborg couldn't disagree with any of that, wrapped in the soft music of the waltz.Onyx staggered a little, feeling dizzy, but the Buizel plush corrected for him.“You look so snug in that outfit,” the Buizel said, and Onyx nodded – feeling not all there, like he'd not gotten enough sleep.It was easier to just listen to the music and try to do what it suggested. Easier to follow along...There was another crinkle, as Onyx pressed his legs together slightly. He frowned, sure something was wrong about that...The Buizel patted his butt, distracting him, and twirled him around again. “Didn't you like this when your parents did it to you?”Onyx nodded again, yawning. He felt so... so...Relaxed...“Don't it feel nice to be so carefree?” the Macintosh plush asked, as Lightningborg smiled in an empty-headed, incoherent way.“Yeah...” Lightningborg agreed, feeling warm and soft and comforted and incoherent. He felt just so detached from any wants or needs of the real world, and there was only contentment.Then he felt a warmth around his waist, and blinked – shaking his head, and starting to come back to awareness.He looked down as the music of the waltz ended, reaching with one shaky hoof-hand, and squished the wet diaper beneath his costume.His cheeks erupted into flaming redness. “I – but – what?”“Good new babies!” Chibiusa said, giggling. “Both wet!”Lightningborg looked over at Onyx, who was just coming out of a similar daze himself. The Kamen Rider felt his waist, eeped and blushed – pressing his legs together, which produced a faint but audible squish.“Looks like they'll have to have a change!” Chibiusa said, with another giggle. “And then we can give them a nice nap!”"Hooray!" shouted the plushies as they quickly went about getting a pair of changing mats ready for the two soggybutt heroes.…Jason and Adam's exit turned out to lead out into what – for all the world – looked like they were outside.“What is this place?” Jason asked, looking around. “I mean – these are trees! Full grown pine trees!”Adam pointed through the branches. “That's not all – that's the sky! Or something which looks a lot like it.” He took a breath, sniffing deeply. “That smells like last time I went on holiday to the mountains, even.”Jason's foot tapped the gravel path underfoot. “And... yeah, this is too weird. Let's follow this to see if it leads somewhere.”“Okay,” Adam agreed, readying his blaster. “But we should be ready, in case we're attacked.”“Sounds good.”The path led them along a twisty path through the forest for a few hundred metres, with a breeze rustling the trees overhead and the steady crunch of the gravel path the only other sound.Then Adam looked around. “What was that?”“Did you hear something?” Jason asked.“Yeah!” Adam confirmed. “I just – over there!”He fired his blaster, striking sparks as the shot hit the ground near a bush. The bush rustled, and then a tall, dark, vulpine creature emerged from it with glowing hands.“Is that a Zoroark?” Jason asked, readying his own weapon. “Look out, it uses illusions!”“Got it-” Adam began, then blinked. “Wait. Is this another Pokemon?”“Shut up and fight!” Jason said quickly.Adam jumped back as the Zoroark attacked. Unlike the others, this one seemed to be real, and a pulse of dark energy flashed out from its free palm as it swiped the other set of claws towards him.The pulse washed over Adam, making him stagger slightly. “Whoa...”He nearly missed a step, and had to concentrate on not falling over. As he did, the Zoroark stalked closer, and pounced for him again.Jason had his own problems. A large plush wolf – a Garurumon – had come bounding out from behind a tree, and was circling him ready to attack.He tried firing a burst from his blaster, and that splashed down the side of the plush Digimon without doing much damage. He hissed, and the Digimon howled – then fired an attack.A stream of what looked a lot like Christmas flocking came out of its open mouth, splashing into Jason's shoulder and down his blaster arm. He was knocked backwards, towards a tree, and stumbled back into it.“Ow!” he said, wincing as the impact jarred his shoulder. “That-”The plush Garurumon loped closer, and he kept a wary eye on it. He tried to raise his blaster to fire another shot, but the flocking was already hardening and solidifying into layers of poofy plush – white at the shoulder, green further down, forming a kind of plant-like arm.Jason glanced over at Adam to see how he was doing.It wasn't good. Repeated pulses of dark energy were flashing over him, and each one seemed to make him less and less able to fight. By now he was firing his blaster wide more often than not, and seemed increasingly unsure why he was fighting at all.The Zoroark was licking its lips as it circled, big hairy 'ponytail' waving out behind, and launching off dazing attack after dazing attack.Jason returned his attention to the plush Digi-wolf just in time, as it pounced at him. He yelped, throwing a punch with his free arm, and it was knocked off course.Recovering, it snarled and blasted that arm, coating it too.Jason thought. What could he do? He needed to-Aha!This time, when the pounce came in, he kicked out at the Garurumon with all his strength. It skidded across the battlefield, rolled once, and knocked into the Zoroark – sending it crashing to the floor.The dark energy crackling around it flared and vanished for a moment, and Jason gasped – it was plush too! It had just been using an illusion to look like it wasn't!Adam blinked. “Jason? What just-”“Get them now!” Jason called. “Before they get up!”Adam shook his head, clearing it, and then nodded. “Right!”He hit the Zoroark just as it was getting up, striking the bead in its hair, and it let out a high scream before bursting into flames.Alone now, the Garurumon snarled at him. Adam's reply was to shoot the material trying to cover Jason in a Snover plush suit, freeing him, and the two rangers opened fire with their blasters from both sides of the plushy Digimon.When it finally stopped moving, they were both very glad."Well, that was interesting, huh? I don't think we have ever had encounters like this before." said Adam with a slight smile as he panted heavily.Some minutes later, they were well enough to continue.The path wound on through the trees for a few hundred metres more, before they started to thin out. There was an upwards incline to the path as the trees grew sparser, until finally the heroes came out from under the cover of the final set of swaying pines.“Whoa!” Jason said, astonished.They were on a mountainside. There was no other term for it.Back behind them was the pine forest they'd come out in, with sunlight filtering through the pine boughs.In front of them, past the path, there was a steep near-sheer drop for at least a hundred metres. As it got further down, the mountainside gradually shallowed out, and they could see trees further down – not conifers, this time, but broad-leafed trees.As they stepped out onto the path, they could see it curving off in both directions. One led left up the mountainside, towards the snow-capped peaks, and the other down to the right and out of sight.“Which way should we go?” Adam asked.“Well, we've got no way of telling which is better,” Jason sighed. “We may as well flip a coin. Tell you what, we'll each throw a stone along the path and whichever one goes further we'll do.”Adam nodded, and picked up a stone. “Okay, three, two, one, go!”They watched the stones clatter along, until they stopped.“Looks like we're heading left,” Jason said, and Adam nodded.As they walked, the breeze whispered around them. The path was was no wider, but the area of cleared land back from the forest seemed to be broadening as they went, until there was a beautiful alpine meadow to their left and the drop towards the rocks on their right.“It's amazing to think this is all underground,” Jason said.“Yeah,” Adam agreed. “I keep forgetting.”He looked around again. “I mean, how big is this place? Five miles? Ten?”“I don't know,” Jason admitted.He looked around. “Wait, I saw something.”“What?” Adam asked, becoming alert. “What did you see?”“I saw – a shadow, moving on the mountainside to our left,” Jason explained. “Like – there! There it is again!”Adam followed his finger, and saw a shadow flit across the steep mountain slope. It reached the meadow, heading towards them, and closed in.“Wait,” Adam said. “If the shadow's about to reach us-”He turned, looking towards the sun. “There!”Jason looked around, and saw it too. Some kind of winged shape, circling overhead.“What's that?” he asked.Adam squinted. “I see a pair of wings, and a long body... there's no way that's a bird. It looks kind of more like a mythical creature.”“If it's a plush, that shouldn't be surprising,” Jason agreed, as the beast circled again – staying between them and the sun, so they had to squint. “I mean, we did just fight a Pokémon and a Digimon.“Yeah-” Adam began.Then there was a whoosh of air. Adam caught sight of something big and green-brown-grey, with huge leathery wings, and then it shot past and he could see it as it pulled up.It was some kind of dragon-ish monster, with two broad wings and two clawed feet, and a lashing tail behind it. Looking closer, he saw that the body was clearly plush and the tail-tip the same, so presumably the whole monster was like the other ones they'd met.Adam also noticed that the Gold Ranger was in its claws, both shoulders held by plush-seeming claws gripping him tightly just under the collarbone and outside the shoulderblades.“Jason!” he called, readying his blaster and snapping off a few shots. “Let him go!”The monster turned, avoiding most of the shots, but one hit it in the wing and it let out a cry. It cried again when Jason hit it in the leg with his right hand, and its grip loosened.“Whoa!” Jason said, wincing as he swung crazily. He grabbed onto the legs with his free hand, looking down at how high he was already.As he did, the other monster came diving down. It slowed, revealing itself to be a big, plushy griffin, and circled the – wyvern, that was it – before letting out a screech and flying towards Adam.Adam was forced to stop keeping the wyvern busy, switching to the griffin, and it flew through several attacks without much pain before shooting past and out over the meadow.“Damn, this isn't good,” Adam winced. “Jason? Any help you can give?”“Sure!” Jason said, struggling to reach his blaster with the arm he wasn't using to hold on. “I – gah, this is hard!”As he squirmed, the wyvern flew higher and higher, sweeping out over the meadow.“Got it!” Jason said, drawing his blaster. “Take this!”Using the wyvern as a firing perch, he sent some blasts down at the griffin as it banked around for an attack. Several hit the feathers, to no real effect, but the one which hit the lion-like plushy hindquarters did produce a screech of pain.Adam noticed. “The weak point is the lion half!” he said, getting ready to jump aside as the griffin came swooping in again.It duly did so, letting out a caw, and accelerating towards him.Adam waited until it was almost too close to dodge, then threw himself to the floor and fired his blaster at the hindquarters as it went past.Three shots hit the griffin, and it cawed and wobbled in the air before recovering and swooping back up again. Jason tried to hit it while it was in trouble, but the wyvern threw off his aim by changing course.Adam got back to his feet, watching as the griffin and wyvern flew up and close together – the wyvern's tail coming around to lash Jason in place, preventing him from shooting.“This isn't good...” he muttered.The two plushies separated again, and the wyvern came diving down this time. Adam kept an eye on it as it dropped, noticing that the tail tip was coming back from having jabbed into Jason's shoulder and that the Gold Ranger had gone limp.“Some kind of poison?” He shook his head. “Whatever, you won't get me-”The wyvern pulled up, barely over the grass of the meadow, and flew straight at Adam in level flight. It ignored his blaster shots, and then pulled up.It released Jason, whose limp body came flying at Adam and knocked them both off the path – out into open space – and sent Adam's blaster away from his hand.Adam tried to prepare for a landing, but before he could a pair of claws closed on his wrists. The griffin cooed something, pulling him up and away, and Adam saw the wyvern stoop on Jason's falling form and grab him as well.Helpless to escape, he was carried by the plush monster as it flew up and away towards a ledge on one side of the mountain.The two rangers were both aware enough to notice a large nest on a single tree near the ledge. It was gigantic with several large fragments of egg shells as well as being made out of dozens of plush twigs and leaves.Jason blinked, slowly, shaking his head to try to clear the fog, as the wyvern deposited him on the soft, woven surface of the nest.Next to him, Adam was laid down gently by the huge griffin. “What the heck? Where – this is a nest!”“Pardon?” Jason asked, still a bit woozy. He looked down, then started. “You're right! This is some kind of plush bird's nest!”The griffin cooed at them.“Shut up!” Adam snapped. “Okay, how do we get out of here?”“I don't think they're going to let us,” Jason said. He reached to his waist. “I – I don't have my blaster! Or my staff!”“I've not got my weapons either,” Adam reported. “We're in trouble...”“Maybe we can get out by just... getting out,” Jason suggested. He took a run up, and tried to climb the side of the huge nest.Despite being made out entirely of large plush 'twigs', it was surprisingly hard to actually climb. The tightly-woven material made it hard to get a handhold, and the twigs which did stick out were so soft they were completely unable to take the weight of the Zeo Ranger.Adam hurried over to boost Jason, and they managed between them to get up towards the top of the nest. At that point, though, the griffin flapped over and butted them with its beak – sending the Rangers tumbling back to the soft floor of the nest.“Ugh...” Adam said, shaking his head. He looked up, and saw the griffin descending on him. “Wait – agh!”It knocked him back down as he tried to rise, and then sat neatly on top of him with a coo.Jason fared no better. The wyvern's tail lashed out, tripping him up, and then knocked his hands out from under him when he caught himself. It then flapped over, and landed on top of him – burying him underneath plush wyvern in the same way his teammate was buried under plush griffin.Jason was buried for several minutes of pressure and warmth and surprising softness.The skin of the plush wyvern – if you could call it skin – had little plastic-like 'scales' in it, which made it feel scaly but also still very comfortable.The warmth, and the lingering effects of the venom, and the slight sweet smell of the plush, made him feel... sleepy. Perhaps he should have expected it – he wasn't sure how long they'd been down here, but it was a while and he'd been exerting himself a lot.He did notice the effect, and tried to fight it, but the lethargy crept over him without his being able to stop it. He yawned, muffled beneath the wyvern, and began to shift to curl up a little.Adam found himself doing the same thing. The plush he was buried under was softer still, covered with what felt like silky-soft cashmere, and it smelled even sweeter – sort of reminiscent of talcum powder, though he didn't recognize that.Yawning, barely awake, it took him some time to realize he was curled up and surrounded by plush material on all sides rather than just underneath.For several minutes, the pair of plush monsters sat on their haunches – occasionally wiggling a little, pressing their plush behinds firmer onto the ground.At some unseen signal, both of them stood and turned around to look at their handiwork.Where each ranger had once been, there was now a large – almost seven feet tall, and three or four wide – dappled white egg, made with a hard vinyl-like outer layer.The griffin chirped, satisfied, and then inspected the one the wyvern had made. Finding it satisfying to, the feathered plush pushed at her one with her beak to roll them together.The wyvern leaned down as she worked, rumbling a kind of roar-purr at the eggs himself, and listened intently to one for a few seconds.That done, the griffin and the wyvern nuzzled one another for a few seconds. The griffin then fluttered to the edge of the twig-like nest wall, and dropped off with wings spread.The wyvern watched her go for a minute or so, before returning his attention to the eggs in the nest.Jason was... unanchored.He felt a kind of muzzy awareness, drifting in and out, like he was in a warm bed on a cold day and didn't want to do much of anything.The sensation felt the same, too. It was like he was in a lovely, fluffy bed, all comforting and warm and soft, on his whole body at once, in all directions.Soft...Warm...He blinked, slowly, trying to remember where he was. What he was doing.Was it a day he had somewhere to be?That made him frown. It was... it was the weekend, right?But... why didn't he remember going to bed?Still drifting, like he was on the verge of going back to sleep, Jason tried to remember how he'd spent the previous day. He'd met up with the others, they'd gone off to fight another monster – some crazy one which trapped people in plush suits, from what they'd seen so far.So far...But they hadn't-Jason gasped, suddenly realizing what had happened. He'd actually LOST the fight, not won it, and that meant he'd been captured.And if he'd been captured, then he was being... put in a plush suit? Turned into a plush? Either seemed possible. But in that case... where was he?He shifted, fighting the cloying comfort and soporific warmth, trying to work out his situation. Shifting brought a strong elastic resistance, as if he was wrapped in something drinking the force of his movement.So he was trapped in some kind of plush foam, or something, and he was in a slightly curled up position. And he was in a... nest...He was in an egg.The monsters had trapped him in an egg, which meant they'd be trying to transform him with the egg.Jason started to thrash around, trying to move the egg off vertical. If he could make it fall, then maybe – maybe – he could break it.As he pushed back and forth, the material around him started to move. The egg was unmistakably rocking back and forth, moving as he pushed it, which gave him heart. He just needed to do it a little bit more...The wyvern bent down, placing a plush leg on the rocking egg and holding it in place. It quivered, trying to rock anyway, but Jason had no real chance of moving it with the extra weight on it.Crooning, the wyvern piled up fluff from the corners of the nest around the two eggs to hold them in place. By the time he finished, the eggs were buried about six feet deep – nearly up to their tops – in cottony fluff, and barely able to move.Adam had felt a slight rhythmic trembling, but dismissed it as fundamentally unimportant.Not that he'd thought much about it – he'd been floating in the same kind of fluffy, relaxing softness as Jason, as the inside of the plush eggs cocooned him in a uniform layer of soft, silky plush. A kind of sensory deprivation, as no matter where he looked there was the same faint white light. No matter what part of his body, there was the same feeling.There was sound, though. He listened to the faint, slightly chirpy whispering, clinging to it as the only changing thing in the whole situation – the only thing he was paying attention to, and the only thing he seemed to need to pay attention to.It whispered in his ears, telling him things.Soft was good.Plush was good.He relaxed further, feeling like he was in the best bed in the world, and listened to the voices. They told him all sorts of things – that he was a good boy for momma, that he needed to sleep, that there was no need to be all grown up anymore – and he smiled faintly, lost in a haze of sensation.Panting, Jason was forced to stop his struggles.He'd put a lot of effort into it, and he felt he'd come close to success, but then something had changed and it had become nearly impossible to get any movement at all.It was warmer, too. Not the uncomfortable kind of warmer – just the kind of warmer which meant that he felt intensely lethargic.No longer concentrating on getting out, he heard voices. They were slightly sibilant, slightly dry, and they seemed to come to his ears no matter how much he tried to ignore them.They told him that warm was good.They told him that relaxing was good.Too exhausted to do anything else, Jason went limp. The voices seemed to like that, praising him for it, and he began to slip back towards sleep.An unknown time later, Adam blinked and jolted awake.He'd heard... something. Something shifting, outside wherever he was.It had sounded almost like... wings. Big leathery wings, pushing at the air.That reminded him of-The wyvern!That thought pulled him further out of his lethargic state, and he glanced around, trying to work out where he was.The space he was in was much darker now, letting in less light. But it seemed like he had a bit more freedom of movement – not much, but some. Like rather than being an even layer, the softness was concentrated near his skin and the rest was a bit less firm...Deciding to take advantage of it, Adam tried to move his arms. Every motion was hard, but it was motion, and he stretched to his full height to try and brace against the sides of the... wherever he was.The voices whispered again, but he didn't notice them – adrenaline coursed through his body, as he thought – I'm going to get out!He kind of needed to, too. His bladder was aching...Bracing himself successfully, he pushed hard.The griffin chirped, looking at one of the eggs as it started to shift. She bent down to listen to it, then shook her head with a chuckling chirp.Silly! He wasn't ready to hatch yet!She fluttered up on top of the eggs, and dusted them both with her tail before settling down firmly on them and starting to croon.Adam's struggles had managed to make the... he guessed it had to be an 'egg'... shift a bit, but then there was a sudden wash of a flowery, distracting scent and he stopped pushing.He felt so tired...What little light there was dimmed a bit, and he felt the warmth in the egg increase to be a lovely, toasty warm which made him want to just curl up and sleep.It was so pervasive that he started to become drowsy almost immediately. He blinked, yawning, and took another noseful of the flowery smell.His eyes fluttered.As he started to drift off to sleep, the voices returned.They told him he could sleep, he just had to relax. Relax all the way from his toes to his head.Nodding and yawning, Adam started to follow their instructions. Relax his feet...Relax his ankles...About halfway up, he sighed and released. The plushy padding around his waist warmed, becoming damp, and he didn't really notice at all.Jason slept peacefully.The voices told him he loved plush.The voices told him parents should be obeyed.The warm fluff around his body and in the egg slowly constricted his form, making it hard to focus and move as the warm plush substance covered him completely save for his face. With a loud yawn, he curled up hugging his new body as the egg slowly grew tighter.Adam's eyes fluttered open for a moment, and then closed again.The voices told him to be good for Nanny.The voices told him that there was no need for thought.Adam wondered why he should be good for Nanny but then the voices came."Silly baby, no thinking remember? It's so much easier to let Mommy do the thinking for you,” they said with a chuckle as his egg grew tighter as well.Jason stretched, his movements restrained by soft material.The voices told him he was just a baby.The voices told him plush was safe.The voices told him to love his papa.The egg warmed, as he relaxed completely.Adam smiled faintly.The voices told him he was a good hatchy.The voices told him he loved diapers.The voices told him to love his momma.He loved diapers...An unknown amount of time later, Adam heard the sound of movement.Blinking groggily, he saw that the hard surface in front of him was gradually brightening as something was pulled away.Then there was a chirping coo, and he yawned.Following instincts he didn't really notice, he pushed out against the hard surface, and there was a slight crack.Again, and this time the cracking sound was louder. A chink of light came in.He tensed up, feeling wetness around his waist but barely noticing, and then stretched. The material fell away completely with a series of crackles.The griffin and the wyvern watched as Adam broke out of the plastic 'egg' he'd been in for some time, and he emerged in a thick, pudgy griffin suit with extra padding around the crotch.Stepping forwards, the griffin started to groom him, cooing. He blinked, trying to focus, but the conditioning from his time in the egg made it hard to concentrate enough to resist.A few seconds later, the other egg wobbled as well. It cracked, and Jason tumbled out wrapped in a similarly pudgy wyvern suit.He was helped by the griffin as well, and the wyvern nuzzled him for a moment – getting a confused response – before turning and leaping into the sky.Jason wasn't sure what was going on. He felt sleepy, like he was in the middle of a surreal dream, and he was in a thick suit, with an already-damp thick softness around his lower body which felt strangely compelling.The griffin cooed, brushing him down with big feathery-plush wings, and he couldn't work out why that could be bad. He had a vague sense it might be, but... he couldn't...Everything seemed very confusing. He snuggled into the griffin's warm, soft plush, because that made him feel better.After several long, comforting seconds, though, the griffin pulled away slightly. She pushed Adam at him, clad in a griffin suit, and the two trapped rangers stared at one another for several seconds.Before either of them could come to a decision about what to do, the griffin bustled back over with some simple toys – rattles, small plush toys (not nearly as big as the monsters they'd run into, anyway) and a pile of small blankets.Chirping, she put them down in front of the two suited heroes. Then, pulling them from seemingly nowhere, she took out a pair of baby bottles.Setting one down for now, she approached Jason with the other one.The wyvern-suited Ranger blinked, trying to concentrate. This was... this was...Parents should be obeyed.He opened his mouth, letting her put the bottle of milk in, and started sucking.Adam was starting to come back to his senses. That was... wrong...Something about it was...He frowned, trying to force away a headache. He wanted to...He wanted a bottle. But Momma was busy... wait, momma? Why was he-As he tried to sort out the conflicting desires and urges, there was the sound of wing flaps. The wyvern arrived back, and trailing behind him were three more flying shapes – all of them humans in thick, pudgy, infantile sleepers.One was a pegasus, with a rattle cutie mark emblazoned on the flank of the sleeper. Behind her was an Articuno suit, and bringing up the rear was someone in a Sphinx sleeper.“Hiya!” the pegasus said brightly, landing with a flumph in front of Adam. “We're here for a pwaydate!”Adam blinked. “What?” he asked.“You know! Playing!” the Articuno said, picking up a plush dolphin toy and moving it up and down. “Splash!”Adam had to admit, that sounded fun...He picked up a rattle, and gave it an experimental shake. The noise sounded fun, so he did it again.Jason's bottle was just about finished. He yawned again, feeling warm and full, and relaxed.The front of his padded sleeper heated briefly as he released his bladder. It plumped up a little, and his mind was wrapped in another layer of contented suggestion.As the griffin let him go and nudged him over to the other playing victims, the sphinx looked up. “Hi!” she said, in a cheerful voice. “Wanna pway?”Jason did.It was now Adam's turn for his bottle. He accepted it readily enough, but started to regain his focus as he drank more and more of the warm milk.Something was driving him to resist, to think rather than sinking into the mental quagmire, and he tried to push the bottle away with a feeble bat of his heavily padded left hand.The griffin easily resisted the slight push, chuckling and cooing, and the wyvern bent down to rumble/purr at him as well.Adam shook his head, feeling physically tired by the influence of the milk. “No...” he mumbled. “Got to...”The griffin's free foreleg reached around and rubbed his back, distracting him. Then the wyvern's tail curled around, reached into his side, and tickled.Despite the padding, he felt it easily, and started to giggle despite himself.“No... gerrof!” he mumbled between giggles, as he finished off the last of the milk.His bladder ached, and he clenched his legs together in an attempt to stave off wetting.The griffin took the bottle away, and then reached down with her free claws and joined in the tickling.That was too much for Adam. He squirmed, then wet, and as he did the lethargy from his suit and his exhaustion overtook him.When he was given a plush toy and pushed over to play with the rest, he didn't resist – the faint squish of his wet diaper accompanying him.“So, how do ya like being a hatchy? It certainly feels nice,” said the Articuno suited girl, as she cuddled with a pair of themed Zapdos and Moltres plushies.“Uh, I dunno. I feel like... I did have a mommy before here,” said Jason, as his costume’s tail twitched nervously.“Yeah. I feel like that too,” Adam agreed, as he played with a rattle absent mindedly.“Silly babies. You’re just freshly hatched. I don’t think you’ve ever had parents but your own Wyvern Daddy and Griffin Mommy,” stated the Sphinx boy as he glomped Adam and gave him a soft hug.The two struggled with that thought for a bit, clearly trying to remember the details of their human parents. This would have been easy to do if weren’t for the fact their memories were having a hard time determining the details between their real human parents and their plush fake animal parents. In the end their minds focused on a mixture of the two, combining the plush forms with a humans upright posture. It seemed right to their addled minds as they slowly went back to playing with toys and one another...."Well, who'd ever expect a waterslide to lead into a dirt road?" asked Fireborg, as he looked around at their surroundings and the drain pipe that brought them there.“Not me,” Torque agreed with a shrug. “Oh well. Any ideas?”Tommy glanced in both directions along the road. “Not like we've got much choice, except this way or that way... this way,” he said, nodding. “It's more open – harder to ambush us.”“Good point,” Fireborg agreed.The next several minutes were... surreal.As they walked along the dirt road, the three heroes felt like nothing less than they'd fallen into a computer game – but a strange, surreal version of one.There were Pokemon everywhere.There were a couple of plush Noctowl flying from tree to tree in the nearby forest, hooting as they did.To their left, a little short of the forest, there were a Persian plush and a Delcatty plush rolling around with a ball of yarn in the sweet-smelling green grass. Then a third Pokemon, a black-and-blue Luxio plush, joined in the fun with a purr.“The heck is this?” Fireborg asked. “This is... well, it's like something out of a Pokemon game!”“Not quite,” Torque pointed out. “Look.”He nodded off to their right, and the others followed his gaze.The first thing they saw was what looked a lot like a rough-and-tumble, no-actual-attacks Pokemon battle. There was a Typhlosion plush fighting a Charizard plush, and standing at either end of the field were... more Pokemon plushes.On one end there was an Absol plush wearing a trainer's cap, periodically barking what were probably orders. On the other end was a Sceptile with two big Pokeballs at its waist, occasionally gesturing to the Charizard.“...that's just weird,” Tommy said.There was the sound of barking.Following the sound, they saw a Sneasel plush with a half-dozen or so dog-like Pokemon swarming around it – two Furfrou and a Growlithe, Poochyena, Lillipup, Herdier and Eevee were the ones they saw.“Fetch!” it said, throwing a ball which bounced and jingled towards the heroes, and the dogs came running over.“Look out!” Tommy called, getting his weapon ready, but the dog-like Pokemon all stopped before they reached the path as one of them grabbed the ball.Tail wagging, the elaborately made-up Furfrou carried it back to the Sneasel with the others following behind.Fireborg looked down as something rubbed into his leg.A Growlithe plush yapped up at him, tail wagging and paws begging.“This is so strange...” Torque muttered.Unsure what to do, Fireborg kept walking. The Growlithe plush whined for a bit, then heard the jingling of the bouncy ball and headed over to join in the chase game again.“That's a Pokemon centre,” Tommy said, shaking his head in astonishment. “We really have fallen into some kind of bizarre Pokemon world.”“What, and the Dragonite that flew overhead two minutes ago wasn't the clue you needed?” Torque asked. “Come on, we've been walking for ages, and Pokemon Centres in the anime gave food out.”“You're hungry? After this day?” Fireborg asked, incredulous.“Yes,” Torque replied bluntly. “Aren't you? We've been walking for at least an hour, after more than one battle... I'd like food!”Tommy shrugged. “I guess it shouldn't be too dangerous.”As they walked in, a plush Chansey behind the counter waved. “Hello! Welcome to the Pokemon centre! We take care of all Pokemon – what kind of care do you need?”“Uh, some food,” Tommy said, confused. “But – we're not Pokemon...”“Oh, my mistake,” the Chansey smiled. “Sorry! Okay, I'll get you some food, just sit over there.”She nodded to a table.Not having anything better to say, the trio sat down, and a minute or so later the Chansey came out with a big tray of food.“These noodles are good,” Fireborg said, sounding a bit surprised. “Somehow I wasn't really sure they'd be... well, edible, I guess...”He took a drink. “And this lemonade's lovely!”“Glad you think so!” the Chansey smiled. “We try to care for all our visiting Pokemon.”“We're not Pokemon,” Tommy repeated.“Sorry!” the Chansey said cheerfully. “I do keep forgetting...”For the next minute or so, the three just ate.“All done?” the Chansey asked, when they put their cutlery down.Nods.“I'm still a bit hungry, though,” Torque said, shrugging. “Sorry.”“Not at all! We do special rice balls. I'll just go and get some.”While the cheery caretaker was gone, Tommy glanced around. “This is all nice,” he said, urgently, “but our friends are still in trouble! We need to go help them.”“Right,” Torque agreed. “We'll head out to try and find a way out of here as soon as we've finished eating.”Any further conversation was interrupted as the Chansey plush bustled back in. “Here you are!” she said, smiling. “Now, remember, it's bad manners to start eating first!”“Right,” Tommy said dubiously, taking the big rice ball. “When do we-”“On the count of three!” she said. “One, two – three!”They all bit down at once – revealing the rice was a thin coating over something solid.“Gah!” Fireborg said, dropping it instinctively.The ball hit the table, the rest of the rice falling off, and revealed itself to be a kind of plushy Pokeball.A beam shot out and hit him before he could react.Around the table, the other two costumed heroes were similarly struck by capture beams from the Plush Balls.“Lovely!” Chansey said, beaming, as the balls pulled them in. “Now you just need to meet your new trainers!”After what felt like hours of being trapped in the warm, comfortable but incredibly stuffy and smelly plush balls the three heroes felt themselves beam out at the feet of three different sleepers.Tommy stirred, finding himself unusually constricted. He tried to move to push himself up, to see what he was standing next to – all he could see was a pair of big, green, plush legs – and found he couldn't move his arms apart from his body, or his legs apart from one another.“Hi!” a familiar voice said.Wriggling around a bit, Tommy managed to roll over on his back.He found himself looking up at what seemed to be Tuxedo Mask, though it took a moment to tell. In addition to being in a big, plush, crocodile sleeper – with a pair of overalls, to boot – his face was painted white and black with a rose-shaped pattern on his nose.“Mask?” he asked, astonished.“Silly, of course it is!” Mask said. “Now, I'm your trainer, and it's time for you to get your training!”“Training?” Tommy repeated, feeling baffled. “But... I'm not a Pokemon!”“Of course you are,” Tommy said seriously, reaching down and easily lifting the constricted Tommy. “You're a Dratini, look!”Tommy looked down.Sure enough, he was stuck in a pale blue, padded sleeper without any arms or legs. The only obvious marking was a paler, white colouring on the belly of the sleeper. There was, however, a visible bulge under the material itself – and now he thought about it, he could clearly feel a diaper under there.“Let me out of this!” he demanded, wriggling. Despite his best efforts, the sleeper seemed to barely give at all – it would let him wriggle around, but nothing much else. It felt like he was trying to lift an incredibly heavy weight if he tried to do anything at all a Dratini wasn't able to.“But you're a Pokemon!” Mask said, shaking his head. “It's time to train now!”“You said that already,” Tommy sighed, accepting for now he was unlikely to get out without help. “What do you mean, training?”“Yay!” Mask beamed, clapping his hands. The big crocodile-head of his sleeper flopped back and forth as he did so. “First – Dratini, use wet!”Tommy felt a sudden stab of pressure in his bladder. He needed to go RIGHT NOW.Pressing his legs as best he did, he looked up at Mask. “What the heck?” he managed to choke out.“Use wet,” Mask repeated, and this time Tommy wasn't able to resist the strange compulsion. There was a hiss, and the diaper under his sleeper visibly expanded a little.“What was that!?” Tommy demanded, blushing hotly and trying to ignore how... strangely nice it felt.“You've got to learn to obey commands,” Mask informed him. “Now – time for tag! Bagon!”“Bagon,” a Bagon plush said, jogging over. It tapped Tommy on the shoulder, and ran off giggling.“You're it!” Mask coaxed. “You've got to play Tag now you're it!”Tommy didn't move.“Do I need to tell you to wet again?” Mask asked. “I think I do!”“No, wait-” Tommy pleaded.“Wet, Dratini!” Mask spoke over the top of him, and Tommy felt the sudden rush of lack-of-control again. His diaper expanded slightly again, and he heard a slight squish.Resigning himself to playing the stupid kid's game for fear of further embarrassment, Tommy started squirming off as best he could in the direction of where the Bagon had pared to the others, Fireborg had the best suit in terms of mobility. He found himself sealed in a plush Riolu suit, though it was one with a thick diaper built in anyway which meant he had to waddle everywhere.For a trainer, he had Sailor Pluto – wearing a thick, padded wolf-sleeper with babyish clothes over the top like a pair of mittens, a bonnet and even a big purple rattle. Her face-paint was eye catching as well, most of it looking a lot like someone had painted her face at the zoo to be a red fox. The only bits which stood out from that were the eyes – grey and purple outlining – and her planetary symbol on the nose.“It's time for your training,” Pluto told him. “It's fetch!”“Do I get to leave if I do it?” Fireborg asked, unable to comprehend how stupid the whole situation was.“Maaaaybe,” Pluto giggled. “Go on! Fetch!”She threw a plush stick.Fireborg gave her a flat stare, then turned around and started to slowly waddle. Before he'd got very far, though, a couple of other plush Pokemon – a Growlithe and a Stoutland – came bounding around a corner, and the Growlithe got to the stick first.He carried it over to Pluto, yapping and wagging his tail, and she smiled. “Well done!”She then turned to look at the defiant Fireborg. “And you're being a naughty little Riolu! I don't think you're trying very hard!”“What was your first clue?” Fireborg asked.“In fact...” Pluto paused. “I think you need to use wet, Riolu!”Caught off guard, Fireborg gasped as his bladder abruptly released with a hiss. He wobbled slightly, a bit unsteady on his feet as he felt the material warm against his skin, and reached one pawed hand down to press the diaper as if to confirm to himself it had happened.The squish sound he heard left no doubt.“What was that?” he asked, hotly, as the dizzy feeling faded a little.“Well, you were being such a disobedient little baby, I thought you should show me a move,” Pluto said, giggling again. “Now, are you ready to play fetch?”She waved the stick back and forth again. Fireborg tried to ignore it, still resentful, but found himself paying attention to the stick nevertheless.“Fetch!” she said, throwing it again.Fireborg's head snapped around, and it took an effort of will to not go running off after it with the other – with the Pokemon.He winced, rubbing his head. What was going on...?The Stoutland plush arrived back with the stick this time, and dropped it in front of Pluto.“Good boy,” she said, stroking him. “But I see little Riolu's still being a bad baby Pokemon!”“You're delusional,” he said, trying to keep the waiver out of his voice.“And you're not being a good little baby Riolu,” Pluto countered. “I think you need to-”Fireborg put his mittened, plushed hands over his ears, but that didn't matter. The words which had such an effect on him reached him nevertheless, and he wet as he was told to.The sensations that flowed through him made him stagger, and then plop down on his abruptly warmer and wetter diaper. His vision swam as the pleasure affected him, and it took him several seconds to push himself back to his feet – the diaper still forcing his legs apart and making him take an unusual gait.“Better?” Pluto asked.“No,” Fireborg mumbled, trying not to think too much about the feelings that had gone through him.“Well – fetch!” she said, throwing the toy stick.Fireborg couldn't help himself. He went waddling after the stick, and the two dog-like Pokemon went much slower this time – giving him a fair chance to get it too.“Since you're a poor little Goomy,” Neptune explained condescendingly, “You're not very good at battles yet. So your first training session is going to be hugging a nice Caterpie! Won't that be fun?”Torque muttered something unprintable.“Oh, I forgot!” Neptune gasped. She clapped her pawed hands together, making her whole Gomamon plushie suit – and the blue, watery-sounding ball gown – wobble with it. Her grey-white makeup moved as she gasped a second time for good measure, and the shoal of fish painted on her cheek seemed to move slightly. “You're not Hydrated enough! That's your ability!”Torque frowned. “What?” he asked, thrown.“You need to be wet, Goomy!” she explained.The same lethargic lassitude that had affected his teammates flowed over Torque, and he found himself unable to stop from wetting. The whole suit seemed to get a little wetter, and to his surprise he found he could move a little easier.“That's right!” Neptune said as she giggled at Torque being able to move more easily. “Goomy have to stay wet!”Unable to see why that would be the case, but willing to accept it based on the evidence, Torque started wriggling awkwardly around towards the plush Caterpie sitting there.It took nearly a minute of awkwardness and extreme effort to get there, so constricting was the suit. When he finally did, though, the Caterpie helped by wrapping itself around him.“Doesn't that feel nice?” Neptune asked. “You're all soft and comfortable and just a little wet, Goomy!”Torque felt his bladder release again, and blushed deeply – as much at how it felt, as what was going on.Tommy wriggled away from the Bagon coming after him, making cute rawr sounds, and collapsed at Mask's feet.“Good job, Dratini!” Mask praised. “See how much fun this is?”Tommy panted, but couldn't deny that... it had started being strangely fun.He felt a pressure start to build in his diaper, and automatically released as he'd been conditioned to. The sleeper bulged a bit more, and then he felt a sudden rush of sensation.“Ooh!” Mask said. “You're evolving!”He was what?Tommy's mind seemed to go blank for a moment, and when he came back to awareness he was in a much longer and more flexible sleeper.There were blue beads on the tail, and wing-like fins near his head, and he was able to move himself much more easily somehow – though there was still an obvious bulge where his concealed diaper was.“Much better!” Mask said. “Now, take a quick nap, and we can continue your training!”Tommy suddenly felt very sleepy.Fireborg deposited the stick down in front of Pluto for the tenth time.“Good boy!” Pluto praised, stroking his Riolu sleeper-head, and he grinned. He felt lovely.He knew, intellectually, that this was not only wrong but a dangerous precedent. But he just couldn't resist how good it all felt...“Wet, Riolu!” she told him, patting his diaper, and he did so without complaint.Then there was a bright glow.When it faded, he found himself in a different-looking sleeper. It was less compact, with a plush spike on the back of each wrist and one on his chest, and there were a number of other obvious changes.One of them was that his diaper had just gotten even bigger.“You evolved into a Lucario!” Pluto explained to him. “Good boy! Now you're ready for battling!”Torque snuggled, and wet, and snuggled, and wet.His whole experience was snuggling and wetting, and both felt great. He was unable to get up any meaningful resistance...He didn't even notice when his sleeper turned into a Sliggoo.…Tommy woke up very suddenly.“What...” he asked, shaking his head. He...Wait.He'd been dressed up in some kind of... Pokemon plush suit. And now he was here?Where was here?He looked around, struggling to move easily in his constricting Dragonair plush suit, and saw he was on a large field with markings – ?marked a little bit like a basketball court.Then something roared at him.He looked up, and saw – to his astonishment – a huge, green, snake like plush dragon coming writhing out of the sky towards him!“That's a Mega Rayquaza!” he heard Mask say. “You've got to beat it!”Tommy tried to process that.He thought he MIGHT be able to fight it – if he wasn't in this stupid suit. But he was, and he barely knew how to do anything – so what could he do?”“You can do this!” Mask told him. “First – wet!”Despite the number of times he'd already wet himself, that command made him wet just as much all over again, and he felt his sleeper plump up slightly.The plush Mega reached him, lashing its tail, and smacked him lightly. He went rolling across the battlefield a few times, and skidded to a halt on his side.Struggling, he came back mostly-upright.“Wet!” Mask ordered again.Tommy released a second time, feeling a bit woozy, and got hit across the battlefield again.“Just one more!” Mask instructed him. “Wet!”This time, the sleeper did more than swell up. It glowed, flashing from blue to orange, and expanded considerably – and gained arms, legs, and a pair of little wings.Tommy looked down at his Dragonite sleeper, feeling strangely light.He had arms! And legs! He could fight now!"Yes!" shouted Tommy as he leapt up to his new plush encased feet as the extra comfy and bulky Dragonite sleeper finally formed.The most notable part of the sleeper was how bottom heavy it was - thanks to the gigantic diaper and extra plush padding, to make it comfortable to move in.Tommy quickly waddled forward, jumped twice – higher each time – and then took to the air with his new plushie wings, laughing as he soared through the sky in a way he never could before as a ranger.A roar from below reminded him about the plushy Mega Rayquaza. Looking down, he saw it coiling up and lunging for him.“Oh.”“That's right, Lucario!” Pluto said, leading him out onto the arena. “You're going to be training against this Mega Gardevoir! She's more powerful, because she's a Mega, but you should be fine – Lucario have lots of great attacks!”“A Mega?” Fireborg repeated. “What's one of those?”“They're a special kind of evolution!” Pluto told him, beaming. “Go ahead! I'm sure you'll have lots of fun!”Fireborg blinked, seeing the Pokemon plush opposite him.It looked a lot like a Gardevoir, but there were a few differences. She had a longer, more ornate gown, with two horns on the chest instead of one, and a lot more white and less green on her body.“But... what's going on?” he asked, trying to concentrate. “A battle? Training? I'm... I'm not a real Pokemon!”“Of course you are, silly!” Pluto replied.“But I'm just-”“Wet, Lucario,” she interrupted.Fireborg heard the commands, and his body reacted automatically. The thick diaper under his suit swelled slightly as it absorbed his release, and his head swam.He... he could remember something was wrong, but not what it was...“Come on!” Pluto giggled. “It's time for the battle!”Fireborg couldn't think of a good reason why it wasn't. He stepped out onto the field, and took his stance.“Begin!” Pluto instructed.Fireborg waddled forwards, ready to fight, and launched a wide roundhouse kick at the Mega Gardevoir.The Psychic-type plush raised her hand, producing a shield of energy which deflected his kick, then counterattacked with a psychic push which knocked him backwards onto his diaper with a flumph.“No, no, no!” Pluto said, shaking her head. “You're not attacking right! You need to use Pokemon attacks!”“Like what?” Fireborg asked. “And how can I? I'm not a-”“Wet, Lucario!”The pleasure of wetting washed his objections away.“Okay, now try an Aura Sphere! You gather Aura in your hands and then fire it!”Fireborg frowned. It felt like knowing how to do that was... almost there. He could almost tell how to...Mega Gardevoir chuckled, then fired another psychic attack. Fireborg managed to dodge, waddling out of the way just in time, and then wet again at another command from Pluto.That seemed to make it click.He gathered together blue energy, and sort of threw it. It turned into a ball made of plush as it travelled, bouncing off Mega Gardevoir, and she staggered back slightly.“Good work!” Pluto praised, and Fireborg felt happy. He wobbled a bit as the weight of his diaper unbalanced him, then felt a sudden surge of pressure to go again. He clenched his legs-“You need to wet, don't you?” Pluto asked. “Just go ahead. Wet, Lucario.”-relaxed his legs, and wet.His diaper swelled once more, then the whole sleeper crackled with energy. He felt a kind of soft lassitude invade his mind, and when it faded his outfit had changed again.There were much lesser changes than when he'd gone from a Riolu to a Lucario. (No, wait, from a Riolu sleeper to a Lucario sleeper.) There were a few more plush spikes, red accents on his thick plush mittens and booties, and his plushy things on his head were a bit longer.“Yay!” Pluto cheered. “You Mega Evolved! Now you can show that Mega Gardevoir! Good boy!”Torque had drifted off to sleep, wetting and hugging.He awoke some time later, under gloomy light, and with his head somewhat clearer.He had to get out of here. This place was affecting his mind – and probably the minds of his friends – and maybe he, at least, could get away.Struggling to make his snail-shaped sleeper move, he slowly crept along towards the gate. Every so often, he felt the pangs of his diaper, and found himself unable to resist wetting quite quickly.If there was an upside, it was that it seemed to make him faster.He pushed himself along, until – just outside the gate – he encountered some tall grass.Pushing on into it, he got a few feet before being hit by a blast of water.Looking up, he saw a big dopey plush Quagsire staring at him.“Quagsire!” it said, and fired another jet of water at him. The water made his mind fixate on water, and wetting, and he squeaked in embarrassment as he wet himself – again.“There you are, Sliggoo!” Neptune called, hurrying over.Torque winced. “What's-”“It's dangerous to go outside, wild Pokemon live in tall grass!” Neptune said.Another burst of water hit Torque as he was distracted, making him sputter. He tried to dodge out of the way, but his sluggish sleeper kept him firmly in place.“I know what you need to do!” Neptune told him. “First, you need to Soak!”Torque blinked. “I need to what?”“Soak, Sliggoo!” Neptune repeated.Torque had barely any warning before his bladder let loose on a huge scale. He wet, and wet, and wet.Wet inside and wet outside, he tried to regain his concentration – then his sleeper flashed, and changed.When it ended, he was still trapped in the sleeper – but it was more mobile.He had a gigantic diaper buried in the sleeper, one which spread his legs enough he could only move by a slow waddle, and plush mittens covering his now-separate arms and legs. He also had a big, plush tail attached to the back of the sleeper.“Well done, Goodra!” Neptune prasied. “Now, use Absorb!”Thoroughly confused, Torque let the sleeper interpret that. It sent a wave of green energy towards the Quagsire plush, which collapsed, and he found his bladder quickly filling as the energy rushed back towards him.Without any prompting, he released, and the warm wetness made him feel amazing.He was... a good Goodra. Named... something. Torque?It didn't really matter."Good boy! Here, have some poffins," said Neptune as she offered some of the pokemon themed bake goods to the former Kamen Rider which he devoured greedily with a dopey smile hidden under his face mask....Dodging back and forth, Tommy tried to avoid being caught by the plush Rayquaza.It fired beams of light up at him, and he skidded out of the way in the sky – feeling his diaper crinkle and compress beneath him – before turning and trying to counterattack.The plush Mega Rayquaza grabbed him with its clawed hands, hugging him close, and he began struggling to get out.As the plush squeezed, Tommy's mind began to wander. He did feel very cozy... he sighed, releasing his bladder again, and that felt good too.For several seconds, he just let the big plush Mega hold him close and squeeze him...“Dragonite!” Mask called. “Wet and use Draco Meteor!”Wet...Tommy wet himself, and his sleeper bulged out a bit more. That pushed Mega Rayquaza's claws apart just a bit, and he squirmed free before flying distant.He stopped, turning, and... well, he wasn't sure how, but he used Draco Meteor. A shower of plushy meteorites came raining down at the Mega Rayquaza, hitting it and knocking it to the floor.“Yay!” Mask beamed, clapping. “You won! Good work, Dragonite!”Tommy landed, feeling proud.He was a good Pokemon."Great! I'm training you well and I bet your two friends are getting equally strong for Momma Nanny!" Tuxedo mask with an eager grin on his own face as he gave Tommy some poffins as a reward for doing well.…Karato, Tanya and Chamo found the corridor they'd taken increasingly heading downwards, taking them deeper into the earth.About a hundred metres along from the pool, they found the walls were changing from blank plaster to fragile-looking wood and paper panels – though the walls were just as durable as if they'd been made of solid rock.A few more steps after that, the floor changed too – to wooden flooring, strangely enough.Finally, they found a sliding door. Pushing it aside, the three heroes discovered they were in what looked an awful lot like a classical Japanese dojo.“Welcome!” a plush, kimono-wearing Luxray said, bowing to them. “This is the great dojo. Do you wish to challenge?”“To what?” Tanya repeated. “What the heck is up with this place?”“You sound distressed,” the Luxray observed. “I assure you, we mean you no harm. The great dojo is designed to calm the body and clear the mind.”“...right,” Karato said, dubiously. “Which is why you're underground in the middle of a great big fort built by a monster.”“Ah, if it is escape you wish, then a challenge is the way to do it,” the Luxray said, bowing again. “Here is the condition – there are many tasks one must complete when running the gauntlet. The prize is freedom, the penalties many, but perhaps you will be willing to brave them?”“What kind of penalties?” Chamo asked.“That is part of the challenge,” the Luxray said, smiling. “If you win, though, then you will be able to help others – your friends – gain freedom too.”“...and if we don't?” Tanya looked around, then jumped. “Where'd the door go?”“I am afraid that the gauntlet is the only way out,” informed the plushy Pokemon. “If you wish to stay, though, you can be assured of good company and good food – and lots of tea.”“Like hell we're staying!” Karato clenched his fist. “We'll take the challenge!”“Very good,” Luxray smiled. “There are individual and team games, with small prizes for winning each game. Please, each of you pick one of these.”She held out a plush paw, in which were three numbered keys.Tanya took the one numbered three, frowning. “What do we do with these?”The Luxray waited for the other two to pick a key, then gestured them through a door and into another chamber. There were three locked doors, with opaque windows next to each.“Your friends may see you perform each challenge, but not aid you,” she said. “Each key unlocks a door, one challenger may enter, and the other door lets them leave once the challenge is done. Number one first.”Karato nodded. He used the key to open the door, and went through quickly.The other side of the door, he found himself in a small room with cut holes in three of the walls.A notice stuck to the wall drew his eye:'This is a maze! Get to the other end quick!'He blinked, then heard the sound of a clock starting to tick. He dove through one of the holes in a wall, and had another choice to make between two more holes.Picking the one to his right as he came in, he got moving in earnest.“Oh, no... wrong way! Go the other way!” Tanya shouted. “Why can't he-”“Other contestants can watch, but not help,” the Luxray said sweetly.“That's cruel,” Tanya said, looking up at the clock ticking quickly towards zero. “Does he even know how long he's got?”“That might distract him,” said the kimono-wearing Pokemon plush.“Great...” Chamo sighed.Karato turned left, then right, and found himself in a dead end.“Oh, no – not another one...”He sighed, backing out through one of the holes he'd used, and then heard the sound of a bell ringing.The walls lowered with a hiss, revealing he was nowhere near the exit.“I'm afraid you lose,” came a voice – it sounded a bit familiar, but not very. “But because we're nice here, you get a nice forfeit!”“What does that-” Karato began, then felt something strange happening to his legs.He looked down, and saw a huge pair of thick pantaloons forming around his legs and up to his waist. A kind of skirt formed from the waistband, made of pieces of yellow cloth.“What the heck!?” he asked, finding it hard to move in the pudgy pantaloons.“It's part of a costume!” the voice told him. “Collect them all!”Muttering to himself, Karato trudged over to the revealed exit and used it to get out.“Number two next!” the Luxray reminded Tanya and Chamo, drawing their attention from the window. “Who's the lucky contestant?”“Damn it. That was low. Dare I ask what my challenge is?” asked Kamen Rider Chamo as he stomped off towards a door labeled number 2 in Japanese. The door in question was quickly opened to reveal a ball room like area with a dance pad controller in the center of the room.The door closed, and Chamo grabbed the paper.“Dance challenge?” he asked, blinking. “What's that supposed to-”One of the lights on the pad lit up, then went out again.“Whoops!” a voice on the speakers said, as the ball pool rustled and got higher. “Four mistakes and the ball pool floods!”“What the heck!?” Chamo lunged forwards, and managed to hit the next light before it went out.Music started to play, starting slow but getting faster and faster, and Chamo focused entirely on hitting the buttons as they flashed.It got increasingly difficult as he did so, the lights going on for less and less time, and he made a mistake about twenty seconds in which made the ball pool rise ominously.Frowning, he concentrated and moved from button to button. Left-up-top right-left-down-top left...One more mistake came in ten seconds later, and a ball rolled onto the pad as the balls rose to nearly overtop the panel. Somehow, Chamo managed to kick it out of the way, and kept going until a bell rang and the music stopped.Hitting the last few with his legs aching, Chamo panted and relaxed.“Well done!” the voice commented. “You win! You get a prize!”“Wha?” Chamo asked, looking up, and then a puff of foam surrounded his hands.When it faded, he was wearing a pair of big boxing gloves.“That's just ridiculous!” he said, waving the gloves around. “How are these a prize?”The door clicked and unlocked, and he stomped over to it with bad grace.Tanya's challenge was even stranger. She was placed in a room with nothing but a Rubik's cube.“Time to solve it!” the cheerful voice on the speakers said. “Readysetgo!”Blinking, Tanya picked up the cube and tried to remember how to solve one. It was – wait, was it you had to make one corner right? Or was it one side?”She turned the sides frantically, aware there was a time limit but not sure how long it was, and then there was a loud ringing and the cube turned solid – unsolved.“This is stupid!” she said, throwing the cube to the floor with a clunk.“Naughty, naughty!” the voice giggled. “I think you need to be a bit nicer!”The same kind of foamy material she'd seen on both Chamo and Karato surrounded her, plumping up around her waist, and then receded to leave-“Who came up with this?” Tanya demanded. “A diaper?”She pulled at it, trying to get it off, but nothing happened. The door unlocked with a clunk, and she sighed before trudging over.There was a new plush waiting for them in this area. It was a stolid Kotemon, wearing a similar kimono to the Luxray – though with a different pattern.“Team challenge,” he said simply. “Assault course.”There was only one door this time, but none of the three were all that inclined to enter at first.“What do we...” Karato wondered. “This place is crazy.”“No kidding,” Tanya muttered, trying to ignore her diaper. “I guess we have to go through, though.”The assault course was just that – a set of challenges in a row. There was also a team of plushies to their right, waiting by the entrance to the first challenge (a wall, about eight feet high).“I guess – wait, do we start yet?” Karato asked. “I mean – they're just standing there...”A voice spoke up. “Attention! The teams will need to help one another through their challenges, as fast as possible! Three, two, one-”“Oh, great!” Chamo said, wincing. “Here goes!”They hurried over to the wall as the klaxon sounded, and he held out his hands in a stirrup – then realized they were in big, plush boxing gloves, and snarled. “Gah! Okay, who can do this bit?”“I'll do it,” Tanya said, blushing. “So long as you guys can help me over.”“Right,” Karato nodded.Tanya put her hands together, and Chamo used them as a stepping stone to get to the top of the wall. He shuffled along it a bit, wobbling as he tried to use his padded hands to stabilize himself, and made space for Karato to come up too.His big padded skirt made it hard for him to get up as well, but he did it – with a bit of wobbly help from Chamo – and then the two of them were able to pull Tanya up to the apex.The other side was deeper, about twelve feet, but there were ropes this side and Tanya and Karato were able to lower Chamo down between them.“Oh, great – look, the plushies are already to the river!” Karato said, as Chamo reached the ground. “Hurry!”Despite that, though, he simply couldn't move very fast in his thick lower-part of his outfit, and by the time they got to the river the plushies were already working on the obstacle.“Well, at least we know what we're supposed to do,” Tanya pointed out, trying to find the bright spot here. She nodded at the plushies, and the others joined her in trying to build a bridge in the same way as the plush competitors.They had a pile of foamy blocks to work with, as well as a couple of harder and more rigid cylinders to use as bridge supports. There were a couple of fumbles, as Chamo found it hard to move the blocks into place to build the bridge, but the hero team managed to build enough of a rickety bridge to get across not too long after the plushies did.The third challenge was even stranger – a set of holes, about halfway up a foamy wall.“How's this going to work?” Chamo asked, glancing over at the plushes. What he was was a bit surprising – the Dragonair plush was being pushed through a hole by the others.Karato blinked. “We have to get through the holes?” He looked down at the pantaloons. “That's going to be...”“Come on!” Tanya interrupted. “We've got to try!”She grabbed the edge of one of the holes, and started to try to squeeze through. “Guys – ergh – can you push me a bit?”Karato nodded, helping to push her, and she popped through. She reached through to grab one of the others, and at that point the voice spoke up again.“Congratulations!” it said. “Team Nanny wins!”“Team what?” Tanya asked, blinking, and then the foam wall dissolved into the same substance they'd seen before.When it receded, Tanya found her hands and arms encased in plushy, foamy material like a pair of clawed dragon arms.She looked over at her friends. Chamo had a pair of thick booties which looked a lot like paws, and Karato was feeling at his pantaloons in confusion.“I think there's something under here!” he said, surprised.“That's right!” the voice said. “Our losers, Team Hero, got some consolation prizes. Now, move on to the next room, please.”“What the... gah,” Chamo sighed. “Okay, whatever.”On the other side of the door, they were confronted by a kimono-clad plush monster – which they were starting to expect. This time, though, it was what looked like a blue-and-white striped wolf with a pair of horns on its head.“Isn't that a Tiger?” Tanya asked.“It's a wolf, I thought,” Karato said.“No, I mean a Tiger – from Monster Rancher?” Tanya sighed. “Never mind...”"Greetings. As you may have noticed there are now three more individual challenges for you to choose from. Here are the keys to each of them." said the Monster Rancher plushie as he pointed to a set of doors labeled 4, 5 and 6 with each key he held being similarly labeled. “I guess I'll take four,” Tanya said, picking one of the keys out of the pile with her awkward plush claws.Chamo chose next, taking the key numbered six, and Karato took the number five key that was left.They all knew how it was going to work by now. Tanya unlocked the door to her area, and slipped through before it closed again.Inside, she was met with a blank board with a note on it.She took the note off, taking care due to her annoying claw-mitts, and read it. “A number puzzle? Where's the-”The board shifted, and revealed itself to be made of twenty-five tiles. Many of them were blank, but others had plus, minus, times or equals symbols on them – and there were a number of tiles which sank back into the wall a little, making space for others to be put on.Glancing down, Tanya saw a set of number-marked tiles in a pile on a dais. She picked one up, and looked at it.It seemed to be about the right size...Okay, so she had to put the numbers on so that the sums they made were all correct. She frowned, and started working it out.“The top row should be two-three-six!” Karato called.“It's no good, she can't hear us,” Chamo sighed. “I wonder what my one's going to be...”He shook his hand, trying to get the glove off. “These things are... gah!”“I know,” Karato agreed, poking his pantaloons again and hearing a faint crinkle. “I hope that's not – wait, look, she's done it!”“Congratulations!” the voice said, happily. “You get a prize!”“A prize?” Tanya repeated. “What kind of-”Something came flying down from the ceiling, landing on her head with a thwap. She flinched and tried to pull it off, but it tied strings under her chin and stuck there.“What is this!?” she asked, pulling at it.“Aww, I see you're enjoying your new bonnet!” the voice said soothingly. “On you go!”Tanya used a notorious four letter swear word as she stomped off to the exit of the room with Karato trudging off to door number five.Karato took his place in the room marked five, looking dubiously around to see if he could tell what this place's challenge was.There was a large rack about five feet up the wall, with three holders for three different things – he wasn't sure what they could be.“You will have one minute,” the announcer said, simply, and then stopped.“One minute to what?” Karato asked, and then he heard a metallic noise of something rolling.He saw a pair of blue weightlifters' weights coming out of a low hole in the wall, and glanced back up at the rack to see a blue-marked holder at the bottom.“Right,” he said, nodding. “I guess I can see that.”He crouched down, and gripped the weights. Pulling, straining, putting all his strength into lifting the surprisingly heavy weights, he managed to get them up to about waist height.Breathing heavily with the effort, he pulled them higher, and then pushed and lifted them to the slot on the rack.“Phew,” he said, looking down – and a second pair of weights came out.These were yellow, and harder still to lift. He couldn't lift them at all for a few seconds – then his legs seemed to strengthen a bit, and he was just about able to manage it.Strangely, they came up easier once they were past his waist, and he slipped them into the slot on the rack much quicker than the first ones.“Twenty seconds to go!” the announcer told him.Bending down, Karato gripped the third – red – set of weights. He knelt, and then straightened with an explosive jerk which got the weights off the floor.They seemed to get heavier as he lifted them, though, until he was pushing as hard as he could and not able to get them an inch higher.He focused, and then there was another pulse from his legs and he was able to push the weights all the way up to the rack.“Well done!” the announcing voice said. “Three seconds to go!”Karato sighed, feeling exhausted, then blinked.Feeling his waist, he felt a faint warmth...He snatched his hand away, hoping neither of the others had noticed, and then looked down – his hand had felt strange...“I see you found your prize!” the announcer said, as Karato blinked at a huge pair of mittens that looked almost like catcher's mitts.He thought about shouting, but decided there really wasn't any point. Sighing, he opened the door and exited to join Tanya.There was only one room left of this set, and that was Chamo's number six.He entered with a little difficulty, finding it harder than he'd have liked to turn the key in his big boxing gloves, and walked into the faint squeak sounds of his padded paw-booties.Blushing heavily, he approached the low table in the centre of the room and read the paper note attached.'Roll the ball to win it all!'Confused, he looked down at the contraption set on top of the table. It was a wooden box, square, about three feet on a side – with a knob on each side which could turn easily.Inside, under a glass top layer, was a maze marked out in low wooden walls on top of a board with a lot of holes in it. It looked like there was a path from one corner to the opposite corner that didn't go in any of the holes... probably.As Chamo inspected it, there was a BING noise, and a ball clattered to a stop at one corner. The other corner lit up, and a timer on the wall started to count down.“I guess I roll the ball to the other side?” Chamo asked, grabbing the knobs. Moving them tilted the wooden surface, and he started to navigate the ball from one side of the game area to the other.It wasn't easy. The ball kept veering near holes, and his padded paw-gloves made it much harder than he was expecting to manipulate the knobs as precisely as he needed.He tried to keep the board as level as possible, only letting the ball move slowly, but that was taking too much time. So he tilted it a bit further, and the ball ran away from him and nearly ended up falling through the hole.Panicking, he overcompensated, and lost some hard-won progress before restabilizing.Hissing, he tilted the board again. If he could just-“Time's up!”“What?” he said, startled, and the ball clattered through a hole. “But – I was-”“And you get our special forfeit!”More of the hateful foam blasted at him from a nozzle on the wall, pooling around his waist before forming into what he'd dreaded – a thick, puffy, blue diaper.“This is ridiculous!” he shouted, and got no reply. The exit door clicked, unlocking, and he walked over with reluctant footsteps.The now babified trio were now greeted by a Changeling plush in a set of plastic samurai armor. "Your next trial is a three legged race between the three of you. Each of you will be paired up with someone from here to prevent cheating." he said in an oriental accent as he pointed to three doors with some sort of writing on each one that signified a number and who stood behind the door.“To prevent cheating?” Chamo asked, again. “How could we cheat in a foot race?”“Oh, I bet they've got some ideas,” Tanya sighed. “Okay, come on.”She snatched one door open with bad grace, and found herself confronted with a plushy sleeper wearing the lower half of an eggshell as a pair of shorts.“...what,” she deadpanned.“That's a Manga Ryu-Ran, I think,” Chamo said, frowning. “From Yu-Gi-Oh.”“Whatever.” Tanya went through, muttering about how stupid all this was.Chamo picked the next door, and on the other side was a cheerful Blissey plush – which waved, egg bouncing up and down in its pouch, before settling back to have their legs tied together for the race.As for Karato, his door opened to reveal someone who he vaguely recognized from a briefing – wearing a huge plush suit that looked like a navy-blue, winged unicorn with a mane like stars.“Aren't you Robert?” he asked, confused. “That boyfriend of-”“Verily, 'tis good thou art here!” the plush-suited victim boomed. “Now, make haste and tie these ropes so that we might go on!”“I should never have gotten out of bed this morning...”Fortunately, despite the cumbersome suits and plushes with thick waists of one sort or another, it was relatively easy to tie the three-legged runners together.“Ready, set, go!” the voice boomed, and all three heroes set out.It was not a fun run.Their bulky outfits hindered them at every turn, the plushes or suits they were attached to only made it worse, and they were continually fighting a battle simply to avoid falling over – let alone run.Tanya couldn't help it – she ran, as hard as she could. She knew that her winning would mean her friends losing, but after this long already in the madhouse any hope of escape was more precious than diamonds.And, she argued to herself, if she managed to escape she could bring more help! From... somewhere.It was hard to think of a good place to bring the help from, though.Karato's partner was even less help than Tanya's. The plushified victim kept shouting instructions in that echoing, booming voice, and that was making it harder and harder to concentrate."Move thou left leg!" shouted Robert in a particularly loud voice as Karato struggled to keep up and keep his balance thanks to his half plushified uniform and the extra weight of Robert's plush costume she seemed to only be able to move in a waddle not much faster than Katato's.Wait – she?He, surely... it was hard to remember, what with even the voice being so silly and Princess-Luna-y.Shaking his head, Karato tried to push himself to move faster. It didn't help much, and the plush-wearing prisoner behind him continued to slow him down – not deliberately, though, or at least it didn't seem that way. He couldn't even move his own legs very fast with the thick costume pantaloons he was wearing, though he tried as hard as he could.Chamo's Blissey partner was actually proving to be the most helpful.Sure, she was as plump and padded and plush as the others, but she wasn't as heavy, and that was a real help when Chamo was basically having to run for two of them. She also seemed to be less prone to interfere than the big Luna-plush-suited victim was, and less uncomfortable to run alongside than the baby-dragon-ish sleepered civilian Tanya was having to cope with.Slowly, inexorably, the finish line got closer.Chamo lunged for the finish line, trying to ignore the crinkle-crinkle of his diaper, and flopped over it with a sigh of exhaustion – a few seconds before the others.“Well done!” the speakers said proudly. “You get a prize!”A bonnet came down from the ceiling, and lashed itself around his chin before he could react.“This is stupid,” he muttered as he pushed himself to his feet, trying to ignore the whole ensemble. The only thing he could see others wearing that he wasn't were pantaloons, and Karato was the only one with those.“As for you two,” the voice continued, as Karato and Tanya tried to clumsily untie themselves with their own mittens, “You get a consolation prize!”“This is a complete farce!” Tanya called up, as clawed, fake-scale booties formed around her feet. “You're just dressing us up whether we win or lose!”“Does someone want to stop playing?” the voice asked, in a chiding tone. “They can't get the grand prize if they do!”“Tanya, don't!” Karato said, trying futilely to get his own booties off with his big, clumsy mittens. “We'll just have to go along with it and hope we can get out at the end – how many more challenges can there be?”“Ergh...” Tanya rolled her eyes. “Right, I guess so.”Having thought they were beyond confusion, the next antechamber still managed to be at least a little surprising. This time, the facilitator – in another kimono – was a tiny Diglett plush, barely four inches high.“...what?” Tanya asked, blinking.“One more challenge!” the Diglett informed them. “This will affect how you go into the Battle Round!”“What's a battle round?” Karato asked, suspiciously.“It is the boss battle!” the Diglett said, and refused to give any further information.The plush Ground-type dipped back into the small hole it was in for a moment, and pulled out three keys – one with a cat, one a bat and one a mouse."I'll take the cat." said Tanya with frustration expecting more humiliation on the way. "Okay, that means, I'll take the bat which leaves Chamo with the mouse key." said Karato as he and Chamo took their chosen keys and head over to their chosen doors which each had the face of their animal painted on them in bright pastel colors.Tanya opened her door first, and found herself confronted with a large inflatable seahorse with a rope for a bridle.“What's this?” she asked, warily, looking around at the ball pool all around the seahorse. There was a path leading to the inflatable, but that looked like it could be easily lowered away.“Ride the bucking sea-bronco!” the announcer announced. “Once you get on, the path is lowered, and you have to stay on for thirty seconds! If you can, then a new path is opened up and you can go on!”“...right,” Tanya said, blinking. “I guess it's actually relatively understandable.”She waddled over to the inflatable, and grabbed the rope bridle. She hauled herself onto its 'saddle', and waited for a moment.“Well?” she asked, wrapping the rope around one of her wrists to avoid relying too much on her reptilian mitts. “I'm on-”The path she'd used lowered with a click, and then the sea-bronco started bucking.It was hard to stay on right from the first minute. She was thrown forwards, backwards, left, right, up, down, and even wiggled about and rotated for a bit to see if that would work.Her padding, despite how she hated to think about it, was actually a bit of a help – absorbing impacts that would otherwise have bruised her – but the mittens and bonnet were anything but. The mittens kept making her grip slip slightly, and the bonnet distracted her at the oddest times.Inevitably, she slid a bit too far. Her flailing attempts to rebalance didn't help, and she hit the ball pool with a crash.She jumped back up straight away and floundered to the edge, but the damage – and forfeit – was done. Tanya found herself with big, thick pantaloons that made her whole lower half look like the lower half of an eastern dragon – complete with the long, dragging tail and the small legs that were actually her own legs below the knee.“This is so inconvenient...” she muttered, trying to shuffle along and ignore the padding.It wasn't easy."This isn't good." dead panned Kamen Rider Chamo as he and Karato waddled along. "What was your first clue?" shot back Karato, "This is probably the exact strategy she used to beat the sailor scouts but done on a larger scale. First she separates the group in any way she can and then keeps them off balance with a variety of rigged challenges and fights before she swoops into finish the job. I'll be they'll even been a few failed escape attempts just to get our hopes up." said Karato bitterly.“Even if it is, then we've got to keep hope...” Chamo said, shaking his head. “Come on, let's really try our hardest – if we don't, we're giving in anyway!”“Right,” Karato said, a little dubiously. “Okay, I guess... hey, it's you next.”Chamo nodded, and opened his door with a sigh.He was confronted with a similar board to the one Tanya had had the previous round – a number puzzle. Unlike hers, though, which had had nine slots... this had forty-nine, and a complicated mix of symbols between them including a couple Chamo hadn't seen before.“How is this fair!?” he cried, staring at it. “I've got no chance!“Two minutes to go!” the speaker announced, and he scrambled for the parts – trying to put something useful together as fast as possible.There was a five, and a divide-by sign... maybe he could put the five, the six and the thirty around that? That was a start... and then he could do a minus to the twenty-one so he ended up with nine... and then...Seven numbers in, he got stuck. He needed something he didn't have, and he growled before sighing and knocking the numbers he'd placed off the wall with his puffy gloves.“This is stupid..”“Time's up!” the speaker announced, and he blinked.“Wait, what?”“Time's up!” it repeated. “You didn't put the numbers in the right places!”Chamo gaped. “How could I have? I had barely enough time to put them in if I knew the answer!”“Someone's being grumpy!” the speaker giggled, and the strange foam from earlier flowed into the room from vents on the walls. It flowed up Chamo's legs before he could react, and formed into a pair of furry, blue pantaloons – like part of a costume.Cheeks flaming, Chamo waddled out of the room to the final antechamber.Karato's challenge, when he got there, was more of a physical one. He was faced with a long, thin tightrope over a pool of water – which, at least, did look like it was just water. (Not that he'd trust it.)He sighed, and started to walk.The big, wide booties he was wearing actually helped a bit, folding down as he put weight on them and wrapping a bit around the wire.A few feet along, he wobbled wildly, and the wire wobbled underneath him. He overcorrected and nearly fell over, before managing to correct – though the thick pantaloons of his Hariyama outfit forced his legs apart enough it was a close thing.Another step.Another.His bootie came down, and slipped. With a yelp, he fell forwards, bounced, and fell off into the water with an almighty splash.Muttering imprecations, he stood up – the water was only a few feet deep – and waddle-squished his way to the door.Halfway there, something whipped down out of the ceiling. He tried to react to it, but was unable to – the water weighing his plush clothes down too much.Before he could reach up, the frilly bonnet was lashed under his chin and securely attached.“I hate this place...” he muttered.Fortunately, the outfit was drying out rapidly – huge splats of water being left behind with every step he took – as Karato reached the area they were preparing for the final challenge.A frilly-outfit-wearing plush – it looked a lot like a Falcomon pooltoy or something, though it was hard to tell under the outfit – bowed to him as he arrived. “Good to see you are here. Now, it is time for the Boss Round.”“How does this work?” Tanya asked, as Karato squished his way over.“Glad you asked,” the Falcomon said. “There is an obstacle course, and then you will battle with a Boss. Win and you get a prize!”"I take it the prize is getting fully costumed?" asked Karato with a skeptical look at the seemingly innocent pool toy.“Fully costumed? Whatever would make you think that?” the Falcomon asked. “Anyway, the game's about to begin – through here, please.”Karato sighed, and took the lead. His costume was still a bit damp, but only made slight squish sounds when it moved now, and Chamo followed behind in his boxing-glove-mittens and blue-fur-covered leg pieces. Tanya brought up the rear in what looked like about half of an eastern-dragon outfit.On the other side of the door, they were confronted with something that looked like it was out of a game show.There was a platform they were standing on, and some way underneath it they could see a kind of white fabric-y, springy stuff. The same substance was underneath the other raised areas of the course, which included three springy trampolines on poles and a broad balance beam with the occasional swinging log.At the far end of the room was a large, rotating platform.“Get to the boss wheel, and then win the fight!” the speakers announced cheerfully. “Ready?”“Wait!” Tanya called. “What happens if we fall in the stuff down there?”“I'll let you find that out,” the voice on the other end said. “Ready? Go!”“I guess it must be that plushifying stuff...” Karato sighed. “Right, I guess we should do this. I'll go first.”Waddling in his squishy Hariyama half-suit, he crouched down slightly and headed for the trampolines at a fast walk – not too fast, trying to make sure he'd bounce from the first one into the second and the second into the third.He misjudged it slightly, and his first bounce came a bit late. He stumbled, bounced off the second trampoline off-centre, and landed half-on-half-off the third trampoline.“Karato, are you okay?” Tanya called.Hissing through his teeth, Karato hauled himself back up onto the third trampoline with sheer strength. “I... think so,” he said, then grimaced and glanced down. “Uh – I'll keep going!” he said, trying to ignore the warm feeling around his waist.Bouncing three times on the third trampoline, he made it.“Okay, I'm across,” he said unnecessarily. “Who's next?”Tanya stepped up. “I guess I'll do it,” she said, and took a run up of her own.She jumped, and – more through luck than judgement – got her positioning just right. She bounced neatly from the first trampoline to the second, from the second to the third, and then landed on the platform next to Karato.“All right!” she grinned. “Two for two! Come on, Camo!”Camo nodded. “Okay, here goes!”He stepped back, and took his own run up.As soon as he jumped, the others could see he'd fluffed it. He hit the first trampoline, but was going too fast to hit the second and his mittened hands barely managed to grab the third before he went hurtling down into the material below.Grunting with exertion, Chamo tried to pull himself up, but failed to get anywhere.“Sorry, guys,” he said, shaking his head. “I'm not going to be able to make it. Keep going.”“But-” Tanya began, then sighed. “No, you're right,” she admitted. “Sorry!”Chamo smiled bravely, then let go.He hit the plush material, which cushioned his fall so he only ended up in it up to his waist at first. Then it seemed to slide aside, and he sank into it despite trying to pull himself back out.Chamo found himself engulfed in softness. Soft warmth everywhere, thickening and warming and coddling.He shook his head, trying to get out, but found himself unable to do so. The material of his pantaloons, mittens and booties seemed to increase in size, covering his whole body, and then there was a kind of blurred moment--and he found himself falling through the ceiling of a room with a big, clear window.“What the-!?” he asked, staring, as he saw he was now above his friends. “Guys! I'm-”He realized his voice sounded muffled, and focused on the reflection in the glass.He was now fully suited. It was unmistakably a Gaomon, and everything he'd been wearing had thickened and plumped up – the suit's head was so he was looking out the mouth, with the bonnet visible on its head, and an obvious diaper encircled his waist.“Guys!” he called, knocking on the window – they didn't react.“They can't hear you,” said a voice.Looking around, he saw all the plushies and pool toys who had been running the place – all dressed as they had been.“But look on the bright side!” another said, happily. “Two more of you to get dressed up properly, and you can meet the head Geisha! That'll be nice! You'll all be free to escape from adulthood!”Slowly, carefully, Tanya and Karato negotiated the balance beam.They didn't trust themselves to be able to just walk through, even though the logs were slow and looked light. Instead, they took a no-risks approach, trying to grab each swinging log and stop it moving completely before going on.It worked, but it took a lot of time. Both of them were surreptitiously pushing their legs together to hold off bladder pangs by the end, and even the short hop from the balance beam to the circular platform felt like it was about to set them off.“Okay, we're here!” Tanya called. “Where's this stupid boss?”“There's two of you!” the voice on the speakers giggled. “So it's two enemies! Isn't that fun?”"What? I thought you said it was a boss challenge in the singular tense?" said Tanya as she saw a Mega Ampharos wearing a set of Samurai armor and a Cartoonish Cow plush with overstuffed udders and some simple robes with scenery of people being sleepered on it.Off to the side of the room was a set of what appeared to be suited civilians in cheerleading outfits, including the the Princess Luna dressed one, a girl in a Lopmon suit, and what appeared to be a married couple in a Manga Ryu Ran and Kokatorimon sleeper.“Of course it's a singular boss challenge!” the voice giggled. “You get a single boss... and the other you gets a single boss!”“This is as rigged as a rigged battle could ever be,” Karato muttered.“Well, yeah, but it's still a fight. We've got a chance,” Tanya said quietly back to him. “Okay, which do you want to fight?”She fidgeted in her padded outfit. “Well, not like either will be easy...”“I'll handle the cow,” Karato said after a moment, and sighed. “I thought I'd never say something quite that ridiculous...”Tanya shrugged. “Right, that's me handling the Pokemon.”They took stances, as best they could with their silly half-outfits, and lumbered forwards.Tanya reached her opponent first, and began with a snap-kick, which hit the Mega Ampharos with a flumph sound and failed to do anything important.The Mega Ampharos shook its head, and replied by drawing a boffer-foam swords from a sheath across its back. It swung the fake weapon at Tanya, producing a stinging thud of an impact.“Hey, how come we don't get a weapon?” Tanya asked, trying to ignore the silly flapping of her bonnet.“Well, maybe if you'd won one of the rounds you lost you'd have gotten a nice toy rattle!” the voice giggled.“Like heck!” Tanya snapped back, blocking the next attack and trying a roundhouse kick – then blushing, as that increased the strain on her bladder and made her nearly lose it. “Eep!”Distracted, she lost track of the boffer sword and took a hit on the side which made her stagger backwards and fall on her behind.Cheeks flaming, she pushed herself back up – trying to ignore the swaying of her bonnet on her head or the feeling of the padded mittens she was wearing – and punched at the Mega Ampharos. She hit its plastic Samurai outfit, producing a clack, and hissed through her teeth.Karato was, if anything, doing worse. His big catcher's-mitt style mittens were making it nearly impossible for him to throw a punch, his kicks were even harder due to the thick pantaloons constricting his legs and making his movements small and limited.The cow was also a hard target – even when he managed to hit her with an attack, it was soaked up without any trouble by the endless soft plushness.As if that wasn't hard enough, the cheerleaders were distracting him. He couldn't quite work out what the chants were – and didn't want to waste the effort to concentrate on them – but the background noise was distracting, and making it hard for him to-The cow blundered into him, and he staggered backwards three steps before falling. The shock of impact loosened his bladder, and he wet himself with a blush and a squeak.His outfit seemed to plump up a bit, becoming thicker and even more unwieldy, and he had to try several times to stagger to his feet.Just as he did, though, the cow came over and embraced him – hugging him tightly, pinning his arms to his sides.He struggled and flailed, but it was no use – and the plush cow carried him slowly to the edge of the platform, before jumping off with him.Tanya spotted that just as it happened. “Karato!” she called out, shocked, and her distraction led to her being hit by the boffer sword again. She stumbled to one side, fighting the disorientation and trying to concentrate, and watched more closely as the plush Mega-Ampharos came in again.This time, she managed to grab the sword – using her thick plush mitts to absorb the blow – and jerk it out of the hands of the plush, throwing it away and off the platform.“Ha!” she said. “Not so -”The Mega Ampharos spun, hitting her with its big, thick tail, and she fell over onto her back.A hiss announced that she, too, had lost her battle with her bladder, and the Mega Ampharos closed in to finish her off.Tanya waited until it reached down, then grabbed both its arms and twisted her body – throwing it off the platform, and managing to avoid following it.“There,” she said, shaking her head, and pushed herself upright on the second try.“Well done!” the voice on the speakers said. “You get a special prize!”The door hissed open, and she waddled through – feeling triumphant.Karato found himself submerged in plush. Soft, warm, yielding...His mind drifted for a moment, he didn't know how long for, and then he was standing in a room.His outfit was complete, and he could see a Gaomon-plushed person banging on the door.“What-” he said, and the other sleepered person turned to him.“Karato?” Chamo asked. “Is that you?”“Yeah,” Karato replied, rubbing his waist with a blush at the feeling of warmth and squishiness. “I don't feel... well... I don't feel all there, really.”Chamo nodded, his big plush Gaomon-head moving with him. “I don't really either – I'm pretty sure I keep wetting myself, but... no, we've got to stay alert!”“Where's Tanya?” Karato asked.“I guess maybe she's still fighting,” Chamo suggested.Tanya waddled into a big room, with plushes in kimonos or armour lining the halls.Right up at the front, on an ornate chair, was a plush Renamon with huge amounts of padding around the waist – and a kimono.“Are you the head-” Tanya began, then gaped.That was Sailor Mars! Her face was visible under the fox-head, with thick makeup on it – but it was definitely her.“I'm the head geisha, yes!” Mars nodded. “And you get a special prize!”She waved her corrupted Senshi wand, and Tanya eeped as she felt the material spreading up from her waist and wrists to engulf her completely.“Isn't that nice!” Mars said, a few seconds later. “You're all plush and blush! A lovely prize!”“This is just what you'd have done if I lost!” Tanya said, indignantly – then blushed, as she wet herself spontaneously.“Awww, sounds like all three of the new babies need a nap,” Mars cooed. “Can you take care of 'em?”A big, puffy Whimsicott sleeper with a girl’s face sticking out of the hood came out of a side door and collected Tanya over her protests. She gave the ranger a hug, then led the suddenly-sleepy eastern-dragon-themed sleepered hero into a side room.“Hey!” Chamo said, standing up and trying to ignore his diaper. “That's Tanya! You got her too? But-”The Whimsicott pulled him into a hug, then Karato too, and the soft pillowyness of her cottony plush made them all feel woozy and sleepy.Thus pacified, they were unable to work up the will to resist as she led them onwards."Ah this is going quite well for Momma Nanny, I got three babies all set up in sleepers and I get to relax while some of my other fwiends go to school. I do hope the lessons they teach them why Nanny is the best Momma ever." said Sailor Mars with a small smile as she watched as the cheerleaders from before were led out of the Dojo with a trio of civilians in an overstuffed and pudgy Delphox sleeper, a Chocobo sleeper and a Mega Mawile sleeper with a group of people in a Articuno sleeper, a Sphynx sleeper and a Pegasus sleeper who were seen to be chatting excitedly with each other as they left.…“So this is what the sign meant. I probably should have expected it from all the other strangeness here,” said the blue zeo ranger as he, Kamen Rider Wrath and Kamen Rider Siren looked around a set of hallways straight out of a public elementary school.“Yeah but if this is a school where are all the students? I’m getting seriously creeped out here. The water park seemed friendly enough before the traps showed up,” said Kamen Rider Siren as the group slowly walked down the hall trying to be ready for anything.“Wait! Do you hear something?” asked Kamen Rider Wrath as his whole body tensed.“What is it?” asked Rocky in concern as he readied his blaster just in case.“It sounded like voices talking with each other. I think it came from behind that door there,” said Kamen Rider Wrath as he pointed to a door with an open window set next to bathroom.“Well, might as well take a look, I suppose. We’ll probably find someone here for a change,” said Kamen Rider Siren as the three peaked into the classroom through the door window.Inside the classroom was a set of fifteen desks desks with twelve people in sleepers taking up the space. The civilians here consisted of a married couple in a Zhuqiaomon and Baihumon sleepers with, a guy in a White and Black draconic Cerberus sleeper with two plush heads with a demonic black half, a angelic white half and a half and half head with the guy’s face sticking out of that head, a girl next to him with a Scyther sleeper, a girl in a Lopmon sleeper, a guy in a comically overstuffed Delphox sleeper with a noticeable stuffed gut, a pair of twin guys in a Ampharos and a Lopunny sleeper, ?girl in a Chocobo sleeper, a girl in a Azulongmon sleeper, a girl in a Mega Diancie sleeper and another girl in a Mega Mawile sleeper, Everyone in the room was wearing a sleeper with an obvious diaper bulge with the rest of the rooms decorations being fairly bright and colorful with a movie projector, screen and chalkboard visible and several chests and posters of some sort barely visible in the background.“This isn’t good, if the monster has this many civilians captured in this one room, it’s definitely been busy this past year.” said Rocky grimly.Siren glanced between the other two. “Okay, what's our plan?”“Do you even need to ask?” Wrath asked. “We go in, we save them!”“Guys, wait,” Rocky said, raising a hand. “I agree, we need to help them – but we need a back-up plan. We have to assume they're corrupted, or something, so they might not want to come with us.”Wrath winced. “Good point, I didn't even think of that one.”Siren frowned. “Maybe... okay, so we're agreed that the more suit there is, the more corrupted, right?”Rocky nodded slowly. “That makes sense.”“So if we get the suit off, then maybe that'll undo it.” She checked her weapon. “If we take someone out of the room, we can maybe save them. Okay, ready?”Nods.“Right!”They pushed the door open.“Yay!” the sleepered victims cheered, not quite in unison.“More friends!” the Chocobo-sleepered girl said, flapping her wings. “Wark wark!”“...it's worse than I thought,” Rocky muttered to himself.“Hey, how come you're not all dressed up?” asked the guy in the big Cerberus sleeper. “You got to be dressed up for class!”“We're not here for class!” Siren snapped.“We're here to save you!” Wrath elaborated. “Don't worry, we'll help you get away.”“Why'd we want to get away?” one of the civilians asked, frowning. “School with Nanny is fun!”“Yeah!” came a chorus from the rest of the room.“It says so!” the Mega-Mawile-sleepered civilian added, standing up with a crinkle and pointing at a poster. “Right here!”The heroes looked at the poster, which had a smiling hippo-head and informed them that School Is Fun!The one next to it said that Diapers Are Awesome!“...this place is so strange,” Siren sighed. “Okay, guys – who should we help?”“You got to sit down!” the girl in the Scyther costume said, waving her plush arm-blades around. “It's nearly lesson time!”“Grab him and let's go!” Rocky decided, pointing at someone in the front row – the overstuffed Delphox sleeper.Both of the Riders approached him from opposite sides, and they tried to haul him out of his place in the desk. He shook his head, seeming indignant, and pulled away from their arms. “No!” he said, yawning a bit. “'It’s not time to go home!”“Ranger, help us out here!” Wrath called.The Ranger joined in with trying to haul the civilian and his overstuffed Delphox sleeper out of the seat, despite the thick plush material making it harder to get a grip.“Naughty, naughty!”The voice made all three heroes freeze for a moment, as they realized that one of the monster's minions had arrived.When they turned around, though, it was quickly replaced by sheer shock.“What the-?” Wrath said, pointing. “Sailor Moon? Sailor Saturn?”“Naughty!” Sailor Saturn said again, hands-on-hips. “You're not sittin' down! And you're not even dwessed!”The class gasped. “Oooooh...”“What's going on?” Rocky asked, shaking his head. “Why are you working for her? You're supposed to be heroes! You're supposed to-”“You're not being a good boy!” the corrupted Moon said, shaking her head. “I think you especially need this lesson!”She waved her wand, and the three heroes took on stances to guard themselves.“Look out, she could try anything,” Siren warned.What she didn't notice, though, was that the sleepered and plushed victims were standing up.The first sign any of the heroes had was when their arms and legs were suddenly grabbed from behind.“Hey!” Rocky said, struggling against the supernaturally strong sleepered civilians. “Get off! We're trying to help – gah!”“Well done!” Sailor Saturn said, nodding her big dragon-plush head along with her own. “Everyone who helped gets a gold star!”Moon nodded. “Dat's wight! And the naughty babies who played hooky need to stay for their own lesson!”She flourished her wand, producing a puff of smoke, and one of the cupboards at the back of the room slammed open – revealing stacks upon stacks of diapers, and half-a-dozen sleepers.Three of them flew off their racks, along with a stack of diapers, and landed next to the three heroes.“What's going on?” Wrath tried to ask.“We're pwaying dwess-up!” Saturn giggled. “First, it's the diapee!”“What!?” Wraith blinked, shocked, and then began to struggle again as Saturn picked up a diaper from the floor.Despite his struggles, she put it on near-effortlessly, taping it snugly around his waist, and then revealed the purple-pink sleeper near him for what it was.It was a huge Cheerilee outfit.Struggling hadn't worked before, and it didn't start working now. Wraith had his feet eased into the hooves of the sleeper, then his arms into the other hooves, and it was all zipped up at the front by a giggling Saturn.“What the hell?” he muttered, as the sleeper seemed to contract slightly onto him and give him no leverage to move around inside it. “What's-”He was plonked in a desk by the sleepered civilians holding him.Siren was next. She managed to get a foot free and kick out at the first diaper, but Moon tutted her and in retaliation Saturn just put an extra one on on top of the normal one, so by the time she had her sleeper on – it turned out to be another pony themed one, a Fluttershy this time – the bulge in it was even more obvious than with the others.“Why am I Fluttershy?” she asked, indignant, then blushed as she realized what that revealed about the TV she watched.Rocky got the third – and overall plumpest – sleeper. It was a pegasus, like the one Siren was put in, but the wings on it were longer and thicker and somehow flopped around and pulled at him as he moved – adding to the way the thick material cocooning his arms and legs made it hard to coordinate himself.He didn't realize it, not being a fan of the show she was from, but he'd been put in a cross-eyed Derpy Hooves sleeper – and one built to make him as clumsy as she was.“All done!” Moon said, clapping her hands. “Right! Now that everyone's dressed right, it's time for your lesson!”The various plushed civilians cheered, before manhandling the heroes to the three free seats and taking their own.“What's this gonna be?” Rocky asked, glancing over at his allies. “And why did they dress us all as ponies?”“Heck knows...” Siren sighed. “Okay, stay on your guard guys.”The lights darkened, and Saturn waved. “Okay, everyone! We're going to watch a movie today!”There were more cheers, just as enthusiastic as the first time. The heroes found themselves vaguely creeped out.“It's a special video from Momma Nanny, of course,” Moon went on. “It lets you know about all the great places to play!”“Who's this Momma Nanny?” Wraith asked, blinking. “Is that the monster who runs the place?”“Must be,” Rocky said, and then the projector started.It seemed to be a bit damaged, as the film projected on the whiteboard was slightly flickery – not enough to be too distracting, it was just there.“Hello, boys and girls!” a cheerful voice said, accompanied by a smiling hippo-face appearing in the corner of the screen and winking. “It's Momma Nanny time!”Cheers again from the converted civilians – and from the two senshi, who were now sitting down by the sides of the room, next to the doors, and watching the film themselves.“It's time to talk about all the fun places around here!” she went on, and cheerful music started. “First, there's the sandpit!”The film flickered slightly, and then showed a large room full of piles of soft-looking white sand.Rocky blinked, spotting three of what at first looked like monsters there. “What are-”As the showing went on, though, within a few seconds it became clear that it was in fact more sleeper-clad civilians. One was wearing a big, puffy Lakitu sleeper complete with an enormous cloud which seemed to be a lot like a diaper. That one was playing with a fishing rod in a little paddling pool, catching small plastic fish which looked a lot like real fish.A Heatmor sleeper appeared next, the civilian in it giggling as he burrowed through the sand after a Durant plush, and as he did sand went everywhere – including onto another civilian in a Larvitar sleeper, who giggled and knocked down a sandcastle.“The sandpit's nice and fun to play in,” Nanny said, her voice soothing. “It's hours of fun for everyone.”Rocky tried to concentrate, frowning, and thought about ways to get out of here. The flickering of the screen kept breaking his concentration, though, and he found his eyes drawn to it as he focused on the fun the sleepered civilians were having.He shook his head, frowning. This was no time to be losing the plot!“And there's the snow play area, too!” Nanny went on. The music changed, and the picture on the screen changed to show plushes playing and romping in thick snow.“It's especially important to have a thick, cosy sleeper here!” Nanny explained sagely, as two civilians in pudgy sleeper versions of Princess Celestia and Princess Luna had a snowball fight.Siren found her mind wandering to the times she'd played in the snow as a child. It had been fun...She saw a dozen or so plush-looking wolves playing roly-poly in the drifts with a Gabumon sleeper, yapping laughter and giggles ringing through the air, and tried to think more seriously.“If you're wearing clothes that are too thin, you might be chilly!” Nanny said brightly. “But no-one ever wears clothes that thin!”Another change.“Or, if you'd rather play indoors, there's the indoor play area!”“That's huge!” Wraith said, startled into speaking, then blushed slightly.He watched as a Sphinx-dressed victim chased a Pyroar-dressed one around, giggling, and they clambered up one of the climbing nets before coming down the slide into a ball pool with a crunch.“It's so large, there's no need to ever get bored!” Nanny went on, and Wraith couldn't argue with that. It looked like absolute paradise for any little kid who was after fun.He frowned, trying to work out why he suddenly felt so much like he wanted to play there, then the movie flickered a bit again and he dropped the thought with a mental shrug.The film went on to show someone wearing what looked like an anthropomorphic aircraft sleeper, running up and down and having the time of his life, and a person dressed as a koala bouncing up a small bouncy castle.“Doesn't it look like so much fun?” Nanny asked, now coaxing, and Wraith felt himself almost nod his head before he snapped back with a wince.Before he could try to consolidate his thoughts, though, the images changed again.This time, it showed a big swimming pool full of toys of all sorts floating around on the water – from small foam floats to great big floating castles which wobbled as the sleepered civilians bounced around on them.The film flickered again slightly, and Nanny began to speak about this area. “This is such a fun area to play in for everyone who likes to get a bit wet! And everyone likes to get a bit wet!”Wraith blinked, fidgeting, wondering why that sounded wrong somehow, and then relaxed.To the background of faint splashing, he watched as at least a dozen sleepers played around in the water or on the floats with twice that number of animated pool toys. He watched as a Spinda sleeper bounced around on the biggest castle, wobbling around, and he smiled – finding himself overwhelmed with memories of playing in the swimming pool when he was young.There was a splash as a Dewgong sleeper leapt out of the water and onto another of the floats, giggling madly, and Nanny explained how much fun it was to swim for hours and hours, with no worries...-and he came suddenly back to awareness as he realized he'd just started wetting himself.“What the heck!?” he asked, startled, and reached down with his hooved hands to try and stem the flow.It didn't work, though, and he only stopped when he'd thoroughly wet his diaper.“Whoopsie!” Moon said cheerfully. “Don't worry, you'll be all nice and changed at the end of the lesson!”Glancing over at her, Wraith saw that the others were reacting the same way as he had – so they'd wet themselves too.This place was getting to them...Before he could say something, though, the film changed again and he found himself drawn back in.They were shown a large, colourful room with a springy floor, next, with several sleepered civilians – a Kyupimon could be seen, as well as a Grumpig, a silly-looking sheep dog with a fluffy ear and a Triceratops – bouncing around and giggling.A kangaroo bounced up and down on the floor as well, clapping its hands, and a plush frog came bounding in to join it.“It's fun to bounce in the bouncing room!” Nanny coaxed. “All up-and-down-and-up-and-down, lovely and relaxing...”“Relaxing,” Siren mumbled, then looked a bit uncertain about why.“Because of the lovely sleepers everyone wears, there's no chance of hurting yourself if you fall over! And it's nice and warm, too!”Siren had to admit, that did sound nice.“Or, if you're more of a sporty sort, there's always a fun time in the Colosseum!”The Colosseum turned out to be a sports stadium, with the now-expected sleeper-wearing victims trying out the various sports.They could see a Luxio sleeper and what looked like some kind of pony with holes in its legs racing on the track, and a wobbly-looking civilian in a Flareon sleeper was taking part in a boxing match with a plush Hitmonchan.In the swimming pool, a Clownfish sleeper was swimming back and forth, and someone in a Ho-Oh outfit was waddling up to the high jump and flopping over it.“It's fun to do sports! They keep you nice and fit, and when you're all tired out you can even have a nap! No need to change clothes when you're wearing a sleeper, isn't that right?”Nods from the ones watching the screen.Another screen-flicker, and the heroes nodded as well.After all, it was kind of true...“Of course, you could end up hungry! And if you're hungry, the best place to go is the bakery!”A moment after the narration mentioned it, the bakery appeared on screen.Just like the others, this place had its own musical accompaniment. There were civilians – in sleepers, of course – strapped into oversized high chairs, and being fed bread and cake by a smiling Ursaring plush.Wraith watched, head swimming for reasons he couldn't work out, as the clearly-padded victims happily accepted their food.A Growlmon-clad victim happily ate his way through a pile of bread.Someone in a green Flygon sleeper giggled as she was given another muffin to eat, and devoured it eagerly.A fluffy sheep sleeper, so thick it could hardly fit in the high chair, held someone who was being cut a big, big slice of cake, and Wraith felt jealous.He wanted cake too.There was another flicker, and what looked like a wide-open desert appeared on the screen.“Of course, everyone needs to be cared for!” Nanny said, smiling. “And it's no different here! Let's have a look at a few happy babies!”Rocky stared at the compelling screen, as the view showed a hole in the side of a hill. The viewpoint went in, through a tunnel lined with soft material, and then opened out into a warm-looking, dimly-lit room full of soft furnishings.Three sleepers were curled up together in a heap, all of them obviously thickly padded. A girl in a Vulpix sleeper, and what seemed to be a boy in a Kyubimon sleeper, both slept on the thick, pillowy tails of an almost comically thick Ninetales sleeper.The face of the person wearing that third sleeper – which was hard to even see with how pudgy the outfit was – showed that they were awake, but barely – fighting to remain conscious, and reaching a lazy padded-paw down to massage the front of their concealed diaper.An enormous four-legged plushie padded into shot, what looked like a representation of the Kyuubi no Kitsune. It cooed, leaning down to nuzzle the one awake sleeper with its nose, and after a moment the Ninetales wearer seemed to relax and fall asleep.“That's just right,” Nanny informed them, her voice seeming to echo, and there was a faint hissing sound. The victim seemed to be wetting herself, and the flickering of the screen intensified.For a moment, Rocky wanted nothing more than to be lying in that comfortable fox-den. Without a care in the world, blissfully warm, and able to-Able to-to...t...oo.....He suddenly realized he'd soaked the diaper under his sleeper, but it was hard to be outraged by it.Rocky tried to concentrate.It was hard.Every time he managed to pull some coherent thoughts together, the flickering video on the wall and the constant soothing messages coming over the speakers made him drift off again.He was finding his sleeper much too comfortable, and knew it – in an abstract way – but couldn't work up the mental effort to actually do much about it.As he struggled to hold onto the remains of his senses in this coddling, soothing lesson, the screen changed again.This time, it was some kind of... factory? He blinked, lazily, and yawned.“Now, sometimes people have the wrong sleeper!” Nanny said sagely. “And a few people, just a few, forget them!”There were gasps from the audience, and somehow Rocky felt a bit shocked over the concept himself.He couldn't say why, but... it somehow felt...-flicker-like having a sleeper was just right.“And this room's for those unlucky, cold babies!” Nanny went on. “It's a special apparatus that sleepers good babies for their own good!”As the video moved, it showed the whole process – each step showing one victim, then a second, then following the second to the next bit and watching them for that one.It created the impression of an endless procession of victim after victim... which was probably the point.There was someone being put into a Persiamon sleeper's diaper and pants, then they went down the slider and were replaced by a Magmar sleepered victim.That Magmar slid down to the next step, and then a Cresselia replaced them.Flamedramon.Goomba.What looked like a plush-suit version of King Sombra.And all of them being wrapped around increasingly docile, pliant civilians.“It's nice to have a tight suit,” Nanny said with a chuckle. “Especially since then you can have a good night's sleep!”Flicker, and a transition.Wraith yawned, the lullaby-style accompaniment making him feel very sleepy.“That's right, everyone needs their nap!” Nanny's voice was cheerful and soothing, lulling her listeners. “That's why they have nice, big, comfy beds!”A sleeper-wearing person... who... Wraith felt sure he should recognize... tucked into a bed three plushied, sleepered victims. There was a canine of some sort – it looked a bit like a Houndour – as well as someone wearing a novelty-looking carrot sleeper and an outfit which looked like nothing more nor less than a camel.“Can we have a story?” one of them asked, plaintively, and the sleepered babysitter nodded and began to read.Siren felt like she'd drifted off for a bit when the screen changed again, this time showing a brightly lit outdoors.“Once everyone's well rested, they can come out and play!” Nanny told her, seeming to speak to her directly, and she nodded dully.There were sleepers... or, sleepered people? They were sitting around, jumping around, playing on toy bicycles and going down slides and climbing ladders...She frowned, trying to focus, and for a moment she saw the form of a plushy Stantler suit before everything seemed to fuzz out again.Siren barely even noticed the rest of the room.Had Nanny said something?She didn't know, but she wanted to play outside now.For a moment she saw the form of what looked like a Quagsire sleeper in a paddling pool, then the screen flickered and changed again.There were dozens of sleepered victims, a lot of them ones she recognized from earlier in the video. She watched, to narration of... some sort, which was soothing.She yawned.The sleepered babies were giggled over and primped up. First they were having their faces painted – she saw the kyubimon-sleeper from earlier being given a big black nose and a clown smile – which looked fun.Kids loved having facepaint done.It made them feel so happy.Then she saw two more sleepers – the Flygon sleeper and the Pyroar one – being dressed up like good babies by a motherly-looking nine-tailed fox plush.Their outfits were so lovely and frilly and floaty... and she could see thick bulges under them for the diapers, and she didn't find that odd.As she watched, another sleeper was brought in – a person wearing a Koala costume. They were dressed up in a completely different outfit, which looked more like a park ranger's outfit, and she blushed – feeling like she wanted to play dress-up.The whole process seemed just so enthralling...Then the video moved on to the third section, where the newly-gussied babies did a dance.A dizzying variety of sleepers, an amazing variety of outfits, and all giggling and having fun dancing without a care in the world.She saw several wet, and they got changed efficiently and comfortably before being sent right out to dance again.Momma... no, Nanny...was saying something about how fun it was to dance, and...Siren couldn't argue.She couldn't argue with anything Nanny had said.Everything was a swirl of sensations and images and messages, and Siren was lost in it all.She didn't even notice as she soaked her diaper yet again.“...well done!” Sailor Moon said, eagerly. “Top marks!”The three heroes smiled, happy they'd done well.…Wing Knight shook his head as they walked along what looked like a corridor in a big, clean building – smooth plasticky floors, sets of double swing doors, and off-white painted walls. “This place is the strangest monster's lair we've ever been.”“Really?” Strike asked. “What about-”“The. Strangest.”“Fair enough,” Strike said, remembering the surfing battle. “Okay, what kind of things is this place going to throw at us?”“Your guess is as good as mine,” Len said, pushing on the next double door. “...what.”It was a bakery.It sounded insane – it was insane – but that's what it was. Suddenly they were in a bakery.They could see three people at one side of the room – all stuffed into huge, padded outfits which looked like sleepers, up in high chairs, and eagerly eating their way through various kinds of baked goods – and piles and piles more baked goods ready to be eaten on the counters.“Oh, hello darlings!” a cheerful voice said, and both jumped.A huge plush kitsune with an apron neatly tied around her neck sat on her hind quarters in one corner of the room, and smiled at them.“I'm so glad you could make it,” she went on, while both Kamen Riders tried to reboot their minds. “But you look so cold and thin, poor dears!”“Cold? Thin?” Shrike asked, bewildered. “What do you mean?”“You poor things,” the nine-tailed kitsune went on, without paying attention. “You need some treatment, pronto!”Fuzzy tails lashed out.“Wha – hey!” Shrike said, as his hands were captured by two of the tails and he was lifted into the air. Wing Knight was also grabbed by the wrists, but rather than being held up in the air at first he was dragged by wrists and ankles towards the matronly plush.Using her remaining three tails, the kitsune drew a padded suit out from under the counter.“The heck is that?” Wing Knight asked, struggling – to no avail. “Is that-”He glanced over at the three thoroughly occupied victims. “Is that a sleeper?”The kitsune chuckled, a lovely musical sound. “Aren't you a clever one!”Efficiently, she spread open a diaper and strapped it around the waist of the trapped Wing Knight. As he tried to get free from her iron grip, she pulled open the zipper of the costume and manoeuvred the hero into it as easily as though she were a parent dressing a three-year-old.Once in what turned out to be a pudgy Guilmon costume, Wing Knight was switched to being held up by just the two tails. With him handled, the kitsune turned to Strike, who got pretty much the same treatment.The suit was different, though. Instead of a red dinosaur-like Guilmon, he got a white pixie-like Calumon.“The heck...” he muttered, on discovering that the suit was pretty much not going to be easy to get off (with the zip in the back like it was, and with the mittens built into the arms). “Okay, what now?”The kitsune showed them. Using her spare tails, she dragged two high chairs out of a back room and fitted each hero into one of them.The moment she released Strike, he began trying to get out – and discovered that the whole chair was locked down tightly. He couldn't find a latch to unlatch, and he wasn't able to get his padded waist past the thinnest bit of the seat.Humming to herself, the kitsune padded over to an oven and opened it – taking out a tray of perfectly-baked pastries. “Now, who wants num nums?”Neither did, but she didn't seem to notice much.Wing Knight got given one first, the kitsune abruptly stuffing the corner of a buttered bread roll into his mouth. “There you go, dear,” she said, as he took a bite out of reflex.The taste was heavenly.Butter had melted in just the amount he preferred, the bread roll was just about cool enough that it wasn't painful, and the bread itself tasted sweet and gave way as he bit down after a moment of crusty resistance.He swallowed, and – hesitantly – his hand came up to take the roll.“Good boy!” the kitsune said, and that seemed to make him realize where he was. He dropped it, and it hit the tray in front of him.Unconcerned, the kitsune next gave an apricot turnover to the sleepered Strike. He had a similar experience, the sugary dusting and warm apricot jam and flaking pastry making him simply unable to resist.While Strike tried to shake the feeling out of his mind, the kitsune switched back to Wing Knight and lifted the roll to his mouth again.Now it was actually there, and now he could smell the warm bread, he couldn't stop himself. He took it, and had a second bite.Unnoticed, his sleeper thickened ever-so-slightly, and the kitsune smiled.The next thing Strike got was a chocolate-buttered croissant.Then Wing Knight got a brioche.Shrike had an apple strudel.Wing Knight was given a macaroon.Hot cross bun.Teacake.Stollen...One pastry blurred into another... all lovely and warm and tasty.Neither of the sleepered, pampered heroes wanted this to stop...After an unknown length of time, both heroes began to come back to awareness.“All done!” the kitsune said, picking up a cloth and giving their mouths a wipe.The sensation made Len feel very, very little – in a kind of pervasive way – but it also made him a bit more alert.He shifted a bit, then noticed what had happened while he'd been eating.His suit had become huge! All plumped and puffed and pudgy, the material thicker and denser and restrictive and trapping so he could barely move – and it felt like the diaper had become thicker as well, forcing his legs apart.He looked over at Strike, who was in the same sort of situation. His Calumon sleeper was ridiculously overplumped, to the extent it looked like he'd be barely able to walk even if he was on the floor.“Run along, now – but don't go too far!” the kitsune told them, unlatching the crumb-strewed trays of their high chairs and lifting them down – where they wobbled on the floor, trying not to fall. “But don't go too far, it's dinnertime soon!”“That was lunch?” Wing Knight asked, groggily.“Of course it was!” the kitsune giggled. “Silly boys!”With that, she swept off.“...wait,” Strike said, hands out to either side to avoid falling over. “Uh... does this mean we can go? I guess it must do!”“You mean we could get away?” Wing Knight said, blinking – and trying not to overbalance himself, as the overstuffed costume held his legs apart. “Let's go!”Getting away was easier said than done.The bakery was empty now, which helped, and the door was unlocked – though it took far too long to waddle over to the door and push it open.Once that was done, there were the stairs to negotiate. In their super-thick, pudgy, trapping suits, even that became an obstacle it was hard to overcome – Len made it down the first step, but then his ally tripped and both ended up in a heap at the bottom of the stairs.Pushing himself up, the Calumon-suited Strike looked around for a way out.The place was... not what might be expected.It was basically an outdoor play area – a small one, hemmed in by a white picket fence – for children to play in while their parents visited the bakery. (At least, that was the sensible guess as to why it was here.)But... the toys were bigger than they should be.There was a beach ball almost as big as the Kamen Riders, for example, and next to it was a toy trike which looked big enough for a full grown man to use – though it was certainly childish enough for a two year old.“I guess we need to head to the gate,” Strike suggested, and pulled Wing Knight up as much as he could without the effort knocking him over himself.“Yeah, if we can...” the other Rider agreed, and stumbled. He landed right back on his rear again.Getting to the gate was an exercise in frustration.Every few steps, there seemed to be something – a rope, a hoop, a roller skate – which one or other of them tripped over, landing on their padded behind and having to laboriously get up again.The padding on their hands made it nearly impossible to move anything out of the way, either. It was humiliating, like being a clumsy child barely able to walk – and that was only made worse when they reached the gate.Neither of them could undo the latch. Their overpadded mittens in the suit simply couldn't manipulate it successfully, and after a minute of trying they had to resort to simply clambering over the picket fence – an uncomfortable process, and one which further reinforced the creeping feeling of being just like a couple of kids trying to escape from a playground.“That was... not... easy,” Strike huffed, pulling himself back up using the picket fence as a support.“No kidding,” Wing Knight agreed. “Okay, we need to get out of-”“Now, where's two pudgy little boys?” they heard from the bakery. “Num nums!”“Crap, run!” Strike yelped. “She's back!”The two broke into a lumbering run, and managed to get moving a fair bit faster than they had thus far – fuelled mostly by pure adrenaline.They bolted for a low ridge, ignoring signs to 'keep off the grass' and 'watch your step', and huffed up the slope before reaching the other side.“Did we lose her?” Strike asked, looking back and missing another warning sign.Wing Knight was looking too. “I think we – whoa!”Both heroes stepped out over the edge of a pool – one which they hadn't seen.There was a gloopy splutch, and they found themselves up to their waists in tar.“...oh, of course there's a tar pit!” Strike shouted, at the end of his tether. “Because why not!?”“Uh... I don't think this is a good sign...” Wing Knight muttered. “I think we're sinking...”Slowly and inexorably, they vanished from sight.There was a swirl of sensations, curiously adrift from the bodies having them. There was a feeling of warm safety, of hunger and fulfilment, of being ensconced in lovely thick padding...Of having not a care in the world...Of......good babies for nanny...Humming to herself, the kitsune dusted off the chairs – then looked up, and caught a Guilmon-sleeper as it fell through the ceiling.A Calumon-sleeper followed, and she put the two of them in their high chairs. “Who's ready for some num nums?”“I am!” both said eagerly....“Okay, this place is officially messing with us,” Andrew said.“Well... you don't know that,” Ronald hedged.“We've been through an undersea tube with plushies on the outside, along the top of what looked like the Great Wall of China, through an empty gymnasium, and now we're in this,” Andrew pointed out. “And it's the same corridor, supposedly.”“...okay, fair enough,” his friend admitted. “But... what the heck is this in the first place?”They looked around.It was... strange. It was as though they were in some kind of futuristic city, all spires and elevated roads and giant skyscrapers... except the whole thing was made out of giant building blocks.They looked like they were made out of quilted plush, though the sheer scale of them made that look very wrong and unlikely – magic had to be involved.“This looks like some giant kid tried to make a city,” the Blue Stinger beetleborg summarized. “What do you think?”Ronald sighed. “I wish there was a better explanation... but there's really not.”As they kept walking, they began to run into inhabitants of this strange city.At first, they just saw them at a distance... but even then, it was clear there was something wrong with them.“Wait...” the Green Hunter Beetleborg said, pointing. “Isn't that guy wearing a tiger costume?”“Actually, I think he's wearing a Tigger costume,” Drew replied. “And... a diaper underneath it? Oh, this place is completely lunatic! Is this what those sprayers were trying to do to us?”“That sounds distressingly likely,” Ron agreed. “What do we do?”“I guess... well, I guess we'll have to try to save someone, at least,” Drew sighed. “I don't know how, but... we're heroes, right? We have to try!”“Right!”It was easier said than done, of course.They started by picking their target – a person who was waddling along in a sheep-shaped sleeper – and approached him when he was in an alley out of sight of other corrupted civilians.When he spotted them, though, things started to go wrong.“Oh no!” the sheep-sleepered civilian said. “Monsters!”“What?” Drew asked, blinking. “We're not monsters! We're the Beetleborgs! We're trying to save you-”“Help!” their target called. “Help! Monsters!”He then started to cry, which was quite astonishing.“What do we do?” Ronald asked, glancing at his friend.“I don't-”“Halt, evildoers!”They looked up at the sound of a voice.There was... well, there seemed to be someone wearing a truly outrageously thick bunny sleeper, with a kind of kiddy-version of Sailor Moon's outfit, and four or five other sleepered victims in smaller sleepers and outfits flanking her on either side.“What the-”“Look!” Drew said. “That's the real Sailor Moon!”“Who's Sailor Moon?” the padded senshi asked, sounding puzzled. “I'm the leader of the Sleeper Senshi, Sailor Bunny!”“...this place is crazy,” Ronald sighed, before readying himself for combat.“Sleeper Senshi, attack! Protect our city, Cwystal Tokyo!” 'Sailor Bunny' called, and the five other heavily padded pseudo-heroes jumped down off the rooftop.The first, clad in a poofy overstuffed version of a Mega Absol, swung a wand at the Green Beetleborg, making him jump backwards. As he did, though, another – in a sleeper version of a Bluejay – drew a bow, and fired a pulse of light from it at him.The attack didn't actually hurt – it more tingled, than anything – but a patch of puffy material grew up around his arm where it had hit.“The heck – look out!” he called. “These attacks seem to be like those sprayers!”He tried to pull it off, but as soon as he started a burst from the wand hit his other hand, engulfing it in what looked an awful lot like a boxing glove.His friend wasn't doing any better. A Hyena sleeper with a shimmering sword for a weapon and a water-pistol armed Weregarurumon sleeper were double-teaming him, and already plush material was starting to accumulate on him as well.“What do we do, Drew?” the green Beetleborg asked, as more material formed on his chest – plumping out to an extravagant size.“I've got no idea!” Drew replied. “This is kind of... it's like we're the villains here! I don't have experience fighting a team of heroes, that's normally the side we're on!”He ducked an attack, and fell straight into another which layered purplish material on his stomach. Something about the shape tugged at his memory...The wand hit him, and his arm poofed up – making his weapon fall out of his hand, as it was engulfed in a mitten.Ronald wasn't doing much better.He struggled to pull off the material starting to layer itself on him, and swiped with his other hand at the bluejay-sleepered victim who was focusing on the Blue beetleborg. The blow connected, sending the converted human staggering, and he managed to make a bit of progress with the plush material as well.A moment later, though, the water-pistol armed sleeper hit him in the small of the back, and a giant plush-material tail formed and grew out of his clothes. “What the-”“Watch out, sleeper senshi!” called the converted Sailor Moon. “Don't let that nasty Ranger get too close!”“Too close?” Andrew asked. “Well, we don't need to be too close!”He drew his blaster with his un-mittened hand and fired – then blinked, as the attack bounced off the shell of the fifth sleeper – a tortoise – as it jumped into the fray.He got hit by another attack a moment later, and fell backwards – onto a padded behind, which really worried him as he hadn't noticed it building up to that level.The sleeper senshi pounced, barraging him with attacks – wand blows, sword thwacks, sprays from a water pistol, mystical arrows and even a belly-flop from the tortoise.The beetleborg was engulfed by floomph sounds and faint squeaks and creaks. He could faintly hear the sound of Ronald trying to intervene, but it sounded like he had trouble of his own.As for him... the plush material that had begun to engulf him accelerated. Poofy, padded layers spread over his whole body – sealing over his hands and feet, plumping out around his waist, and forming a hood that almost 'swallowed' his head.After what felt like a long time, they stopped. He tried to get up, but found it too hard to – he was forced to lie on the floor, and watched as the corrupted civilians aping a Senshi team moved on to his friend.The green beetleborg held out better than he had, managing to dodge the ranged attacks and keep the melee attacks from hitting too hard, but the plush was accumulating faster than he could get rid of it.Sooner or later, he tripped – and they swarmed him, as well.When the barrage of attacks were done and they stepped back, Andrew gasped.“They've turned you into... some kind of kangaroo thing!” he said, unable to keep quiet.“And you-” Ronald replied, blinking. “They've turned you into a Venus Claptrap!”“Not quite!” said the corrupted Sailor Moon, stepping down. “They're just sleepers, silly!”She giggled. “They've nearly finished curing you, but that's just nearly! Now, time for me to finish this!”“Moon – Usagi – listen!” Andrew called urgently. “You don't have to-”“Nanny power, make up!” Moon interrupted. “Super sissy senshi sleeper STORM!”White and pink magic flashed out from her wand--suddenly, Andrew was consumed by the feeling of pressure under his outfit. He pressed his legs together to try to restrain it, but to no avail – it built up startlingly quickly, eating away his control, until he couldn't hold it in any more and released with a whimper.As his hidden diaper gradually soaked, he began to wonder – was it so bad?He just had to play at being the villain, after all, just like these others were playing at being senshi! It sounded... kind of fun……As Sting and Ladyborg walked, they looked around at the cavernous path they were following.“This is... well, I guess I've seen cave systems this big on TV,” Sting admitted. “But it seems way too big for this kind of thing. Especially because it's got such a coherent path,” he added, stepping down from one terrace to the next. “If this were a real cave, I'd expect it to occasionally go underwater or have a steep drop or something. This is practically a path!”“Yeah, I know what you mean,” the Ladyborg admitted. “It's like the kind of thing you get in a theme park... and I guess this whole place is a lot like some kind of crazy theme park, for that matter.”Sting nodded. “I've got no idea what to expect next. Giant room full of Pokemon? Mountainside? Heck, I wouldn't be surprised to find a circus down here...”“Well, I guess we just have to find out,” Ladyborg said, and motioned ahead with her hand. Sting saw what she meant – there was a corner coming up – and slowed down.Both of them came around the corner ready for an ambush.They didn't get it. What they got instead, however, was ridiculous.It was... a castle.An underground castle. A proper one, too, with long walls around the outside and big circular towers with arrow slits and conical roofs on the towers. There was a big, well-built up gatehouse, a half-up drawbridge... even flags on the roofs of the towers.Behind the curtain wall, they could see another building – probably the keep.“Okay, what?” Ladyborg asked, astonished. “That's a new one on me...”“Why does it have a roof?” Sting asked. “It's underground!”“Yeah...”After staring for a minute or so, Sting shrugged. “Well, I guess we should... try to get in?”“I can't see another way past.”The first thing they tried was to climb the walls. However, the walls in question turned out to be very hard and very, very smooth – getting a grip was near-impossible, and even by running at it to gain momentum the heroes only managed to jump about two-thirds of the way up.If they'd been able to get further leverage, that might have been enough, but the walls were so smooth they just went thudding back down again.Deciding that getting in was more important than managing to get in undetected, they next went for the gate.The drawbridge was bad enough – it was at such an angle they had to squeeze past awkwardly, which was several long uncomfortable seconds of work.Once inside the drawbridge, they found a portcullis facing them – a big, metal grille lowered across the entrance route. That didn't move at first, but with both of them heaving they managed to lift the portcullis enough to get underneath – though it dropped back with a metal crash which sounded like it would bring whatever guards the place had running.Several tense seconds later, they moved on to the third barrier.That, simply, defeated them. It was a simple wooden-looking gate, but it was locked – from the other side, with no key visible.Running against it didn't seem to make it budge, and – defeated – the two heroes went back out of the castle gates. They did manage to raise the portcullis and lower the drawbridge, though, so leaving wasn't so awkward.“What now?” Sting asked. “We're basically stuck – we can't move forwards, we can't move back.”“I know we can't,” Ladyborg agreed. “But what do – wait a minute!”Sting got to his feet at her tone. “What is it?”“Look!” she said, pointing.Sting followed her finger, looking at the water of the moat. “What – wait, I see it. There's an underwater tunnel – and light at the other end!”“Right,” she confirmed. “I think it might be some kind of underwater entrance.”“I guess we've got nothing better to go on...”The underground cavern was still and calm, torches burning on the walls and throwing light across the pool.Then, with a splash and a gasp, Kamen Rider Sting emerged from the water.The Ladyborg followed a moment later, and they splashed to the shore.“Well, looks like we were right...” Sting observed. “Well. You were right, I just agreed.”Ladyborg chuckled. “Okay,” she said, nodding. “That way, I guess – it seems to lead upwards. And there's stone stairs, too – so I guess we're in the castle?”“We certainly should be.”The catacombs did indeed seem to be part of the castle complex – but they were huge.Sting and Ladyborg spent hours walking – up small stairs, down sloping corridors, backtracking more than once – and by the time they started to reach the better constructed (and higher) parts of the castle, they were exhausted.“At this point I'd love to find a bedroom,” Sting admitted. “Heck, after today I'm about ready to sleep on the floor!”“We might not have to,” Ladyborg said, pointing. “Look, a furnished room!”They hurried in, able to manage a jog, and found themselves entering a room that was almost like a great hall.Strange stained glass windows lined the walls – though what was on them couldn't be seen, as it seemed to be quite dark – and flickering candles lined the walls. Tapestries hung from frames, with pictures of mythical creatures – dragon, griffin, pegasus – along with more mundane ones, like badgers or eagles.Strangely, the one at one end was a hippo's face.The real standout, though, was the giant pile in the centre of the rom.It looked, at first glance, like some kind of mighty treasure hoard. It might have been considered one by some, but the actual contents were very strange.There were diapers. There were padded costumes, frilly and sissy. There were plush animals, mittens, cushions... everything in all kinds of pastel colours, with the only stronger ones where a plush had to be that colour to look right.“...the heck?” Sting asked weakly.“I've got no idea either,” Ladyborg said, yawning. “But... well...”“You can't be serious.”“It's soft, that's about all I care about now,” Ladyborg pointed out, and after a moment Sting agreed.They pulled some of the less dubious stuff – cushions and a few plush animals – to make a platform, then crawled onto it and were asleep within minutes.As they slept, things began to change.A common story, in myth and legend, is that a dragon's hoard is a magical thing. That the gold a dragon has slept on becomes pleasing to the eye, so people want and desire it – and, eventually, become a bit dragonish themselves.Some stories even said that sleeping on a dragon's hoard turns you into a dragon.This was not a dragon's hoard of coins... but it was something quite close.So, as the two heroes slept, new thoughts began to come in. New desires.New ideas.Things rustled. Plush moved.And their thoughts became just a little bit draconic.Sting yawned, shifting.He felt great. Really rested, like he'd slept for a week.In fact, he felt fantastic! All cozy and comfortable.As he yawned again, blinking sleep out of his eyes, his shift disturbed Ladyborg, and she began to stir as well.“Morning,” he said, stretching, paws over his head, and she yawned as well and pushed her tail aside.Neither of them found it odd, as they woke, that they were dressed in padded, poofy, inflated outfits with thick layers of plush making the shape and covering big, crinkly diapers.Sting's suit was a pink-and-black poofy dragon, with his arms encased in great big wings that looked like they were made out of plush rose petals. A similar rose effect circled his neck and went down his front, with his legs covered in comparatively thin black plush below his huge diaper bulge. A similar, plush-black tail – though with koosh red-tipped thorns – came out of the costume around the small of his back.His sleepy face looked out of the mouth of a draconic plush-head, with two long wiggly horns with the same plush-petal effect.As he blinked sleep out of his eyes, he realized something was wrong.“Hey, look!” he said, pointing at Ladyborg.“What is it?” she yawned, clad in another kind of dragon sleeper.Hers was altogether different. Rather than a rose-themed dragon, it was a skunk-themed dragon sleeper.Just like his, it had a great big thick diaper underneath it.The arms and legs were thick and plush, covered with long silky black fur which would feel lovely to stroke or rub against. The head of her suit was a bit more dragony, with scales as well as soft plush ears, and a pair of horns, and the torso was a mix of fuzz and scales in design.The wings were the most purely dragony bits. Unlike Sting, her costume had separate wings, and they were quite big given they weren't supposed to be used for anything.But the thing which made it most clear it was skunk-themed was the tail. Long and luxuriantly plush, it had the familiar skunk pattern, and sprang up as she shifted her weight off it to balance behind her head.“Look!” Sting repeated. “It's gone!”“What's gone – oh, no!” Ladyborg gasped, realizing what he meant.The huge pile of plush and diapers and all kinds of babyish accoutrements... it had gone completely. Someone had taken their hoard!For a moment, a niggling thought came up. Why did she think of it as our hoard?But that was quickly lost in the dragonish thoughts. It was a hoard, and it had been taken! That was bad, they needed to get it back!She yawned, and waddled around in a circle. “Where could it have gone?”“Dunno,” Sting admitted, also feeling quite possessive of the hoard. “But we gotta find it!”“Look for clues!” Ladyborg insisted. “That's what we got to do!”This time, it was Sting who had that puzzling moment of self-doubt. Why was this so important?He frowned, trying to puzzle it out, and then he wet himself – not really thinking to hold it in – and the worries went away.Now with ever-so-slight a squish to his movements, he waddled around looking for anything that could be important.It didn't take him long to find something.“Look!” he said, holding up a poofy diaper. “It was on the stairs! Maybe that means the hoard got taken this way!”“Yeah!” Ladyborg agreed, waddling after him and going a bit past him up the steps. “And look! There's another one here!”Following the trail – of diapers, plushes, blankets and other things – they went deeper into the castle corridors.Just two baby dragons looking for their precious hoard of soft things.…“At least we're not hemmed in by that tunnel any more,” Dragonborg said, trying to look on the bright side.Spear wasn't so inclined to look on the bright side. “That just means we'll be easier to surround.”“Do you think we'd have stood a chance against a big plush if it came at us in the tunnel?” Dragonborg demanded. “This way at least we've got room to get out of the way...”“I guess,” Spear agreed. “Okay, maybe I'm being paranoid. But then again...”“Yeah.”They looked around at what looked for all the world like an open sky, in a field around the cave they'd just come out of.“It's kind of bizarre, isn't it...” Dragonborg muttered. He craned his neck. “I see a cliff in that direction. Straight and tall, no way up it.”“Same in this direction,” Spear confirmed.A few seconds more checking, and they had the direction they'd have to go. There was a building they could see in the distance, which was the only thing that wasn't a blank cliff wall.“Well, no time like the present...” Spear said, as they began walking again. “Strange, though. It reminds me of some really old buildings I've seen.”“What, like, hundreds of years old?”“Thousands.”As they got closer, they could see exactly why it looked old.It was, incredibly, a full-size Greek temple. But it didn't look much like the temples they were familiar with.“I thought temples like this were all white marble,” Spear said, gaping up at the riot of colour on the frescoes and statues lining the sides.It was hard to tell what some of them actually were, they were so brightly painted.“I kinda read something about this,” Dragonborg frowned. “How they actually did paint them, but the paint rubbed off. I suppose this is what they originally looked like... which makes it doubly bizarre to find it underground in the lair of some kind of plush monster.”“Wait...”Dragonborg looked around at the tone in his voice. “What is it?”“Look at this statue. That's... Sailor Venus, right?”“...you're right,” the Beetleborg agreed. “And she's being put in a cat outfit?”Spear winced. “That's worrying... and look, that one's Pluto being put in a wolf costume.”“What is this, some kind of taunting monument to how the Senshi were defeated?” Dragonborg demanded.“...actually, that makes a lot of sense,” Spear admitted. “Wait, that one shows them all uncorrupted... maybe it's some kind of story.”They followed the series of painted reliefs, which spiralled halfway around the building before leading in through a door.Had they been paying more attention, they'd have seen that the big pediment friezes on either end of the building showed a plush hippo-like monster surrounded by corrupted heroes and civilians.“Okay, so they seem to be in a classroom now,” Spear said, following along with the story. “This is seriously freaky. And they're all dressed up... and then Moon comes in-”“Look out!” Dragonborg warned him, pointing ahead.Spear looked up, and saw a pair of gaudily-painted sphinx statues. One of them was clearly female, the other one presumably male. “Those are pretty neat, but I'm trying to-”“It moved!” Dragonborg said, worried. “I swear it did.”“How could it-”There was a grinding SLAM, and the door shut behind them.“We're trapped!” Spear said, looking back. “Sorry for being so-”The sphinx statues... pounced.Dragonborg and Kamen Rider Spear both discovered quite quickly that they weren't statues – rather, they had become animated things made of thick plush with silky leonine fur.Both heroes were bowled over by the impacts, and the sphinx plushes – the male one for Dragonborg, the female one for Spear – quickly pinned them down with paws on their wrists and ankles.“What the heck!?” Dragonborg asked, struggling – to no avail.“I see we've got two nice visitors!” a cheerful voice said.Spear looked, trying to see past the sphinx flattening him to the floor, and saw-Well, he guessed it was Sailor Mercury, but that was only based on what he'd seen from the frescoes. Most of her was completely hidden by the costumed bear sleeper and green winter romper she was clad in, complete with a huge thick diaper bulge around the waist.“It's so nice to see you interested in history!” Mercury informed them. “Now, to see how much you know about history, it's quiz time! Isn't that nice!”“Can we not play?” Spear asked, also unable to budge the sphinx on top of him.“Of course not,” Mercury said airily. “Right, first question! Who won the War of the Sleepers?”“...you what?” Dragonborg asked, astonished.“Hurry up...” Mercury coaxed.“I don't even know who was in the war – I didn't know that existed!” Spear complained.“Oh, dear... well, here's a reminder. There were the Poofs and the Sissybutts,” Mercury informed them.“This is so rigged...” Dragonborg moaned. “Uh... Poofs?”“Nope!” Mercury said cheerfully.“Then the Sissybutts!”“That's wrong too!” The corrupted sailor senshi clapped her mittened paw-hands, which glowed. “Both of them won, because it was all a lot of fun!”As the paw-hands glowed, the struggling heroes felt something creeping up their legs from the feet.“What's going on?” Dragonborg asked, trying to see. “The heck?”He managed to get a glimpse of his feet, and saw a kind of ruffled, crinkly material forming a pink, poofy layer around his legs. It was thick, and ruffled, and seemed to have crinkly claws at the bottom.“What the-” he asked, trying to shake it off. This had no effect, and the sphinx pinning him just put a bit more weight on his legs to hold him down.Spear was in a similar predicament. A black-and-red looking, plump, plushy pair of lion's feet and legs were forming around his own legs as a costume, despite his struggles.“This is ridiculous!” he moaned.“Now now, next question!” Mercury said sternly. “Here's an important question you need to know! What's the most comfortable outfit in the world?”“...how are we supposed to know that?” Spear demanded. “What kind of quiz question is that? It's completely subjective!”“The answer, silly billies, is that it's anything Nanna puts you in!”Mercury clapped again, and this time the material spread further.Spear found himself dealing with a plushy, creamy, furry midriff, with a thick greenish tail sprouting from the seat of his backside. It looked like a really cartoony snake plush, which was just bizarre.Dragonborg found himself with a similar problem. The material he was dealing with plumped and spread further, thickening especially around his waist, and a thick crinkly tail spread from his back as well. This one was a spade-tipped dragon's tail, and as it formed the padded material spread up his torso and created a pudgy, ruffled “body”.“What's going on?” he asked, a little panicked.“I don't-” Spear shook his head. “You look like you're turning into some kind of diaper dragon!”“A what?” Dragonborg paled. “Oh, no – this must be like what trapped the Senshi! And you – I think you're being put in some kind of Chimera sleeper, the snake tail makes it-”“I'm glad you're enjoying your lovely sleepers!” Mercury beamed. “Who wants the next question?”“Just let us out of here!” Dragonborg implored, struggling against the soft, plush paws of the sphinx pinning him down. In response, the mythical-beast plush emitted a growling purr and leaned further over, making the pressure holding him down increase further.“Here's the third question!” Mercury giggled. “Listen carefully! The question is – what powers did the original Beetleborgs get when they were captured by the dragon Mommeramaximacrinkles?”Spear blinked. “Who?”“Mommeramaximacrinkles!” Mercury rattled off. “Hurry and answer quick!”“I've never even heard of a dragon called that!” Dragonborg protested. “This is so rigged – how are we supposed to know any of these?”“Oh, don't know?” Mercury asked, shaking her plush-engulfed head. “That's a pity!”The suits swelled up again.By the time they were finished, Spear was in a chimera suit up to his neck.There was a goat's head hanging off the shoulder of the suit, made of soft plush with plastic-covered squishy horns, and the eyes seemed to be... well, strange. Like they encouraged you to keep looking at them.Spear didn't know what to make of it.The torso and arms were chimera-ish, which meant mostly like a lion. Big plush pads covered his hands, making him unable to grip anything even if he'd had the chance, and separated his fingers so they were held in a splayed position.Around his abdomen, the sleeper thickened. He was now pretty sure there was something crinkly in there, and he had the sinking feeling he knew what it was. A diaper, and a thick one too.Remembering the frescoes, he tried to concentrate on not wetting it – though even as he started to concentrate, the pressure built up.The plush snake-tail was still there, and had a hood attached to it now made of frills. Like the goat head, staring at it seemed at once worrying and strangely compelling.Dragonborg's suit had also taken on a consistent form.It was, pretty clearly, some kind of dragon – pink, and frilly, and made of diapers.It felt like he could go on all fours or on two legs just as easily, with his hands in mitten-like claws complete with painted-fingernail talons on them, and there was a bulge in the crinkly material around the top of his chest.His backside and lower torso were hugely puffed out, even more than the actual diaper he could feel below the diaper material might indicate, and the poof also forced his legs apart despite his best efforts to hold them together and resist the growing urge to wet.“Nearly done!” Mercury cheered. “Now, one more question, and it's a biggie!”“Oh, great...” Spear muttered, then yelped as the sphinx pinning him began to massage his tummy gently with a paw-pad.Nothing big. Just an endless slow rub.As he squirmed, trying fruitlessly to push the sphinx off, Mercury smiled broadly. “What super sleepers did Nanny get all the silly Sailor Senshi?”“You're really deeply corrupted...” Dragonborg said, a little amazed.“Wait!” Spear pointed out. “We can actually answer this one – the friezes!”Dragonborg blinked, then nodded. “Uh...”What were they...“Er... Mercury had a polar bear,” he began, and Mercury giggled.“Of course I do, silly, I'm right here!”There was a pause.“Right... anyway. Venus was a Gatomon, Moon was... Moon was...”“A bunny!” Spear said, remembering.“Right!” Dragonborg agreed, trying to ignore the growing urge to wet. “Chibiusa was a Terriermon, I think Mask had an alligator...”As he faltered, Spear took it up. “Jupiter was some kind of My Little Pony or something, Saturn was a dragon... uh... Uranus was a Biyomon...”“...and Neptune was a Gomamon,” Dragonborg said, voice rising almost to a squeak as the sphinx on top of him gave a teasing little tickle. “What – agh! - what was Pluto?”“A...” Spear blanked. “Uh... wait – a wolf!”“All correct!” Mercury said, applauding. “You get a special prize!”“What's-” Dragonborg began, and then each sphinx stuffed a bottle into the mouth of the hero trapped beneath.The nipple made them reflexively suck, the milk made them relax just a bit, and the relaxation made them wet.As they did, the hoods of their sleepers plumped up, completing the look, and their eyes went a bit unfocused.“Well done!” Mercury said, smiling broadly. “Now, time for your nap! These nice sphinxies will sort you out!”…“Is it usually this bizarre?” Lacey asked.“Pardon?” Jo looked up. “What do you mean bizarre?”“Yeah, see, you guys are used to hero-ing,” she said, waving her hand. “All this... stuff. But me... this is just crazy.”“No, this is pretty odd by our standards too,” Josh admitted. “Not so much the monster, or the secret underground base... but the plush stuff is new, and all the... diapers,” he admitted. “That's kind of new too. And... yeah, this is just plain bizarre.”He smiled. “You helped a lot, though.”“Yeah, thanks...”Jo looked around as they came out of the tunnel. “Okay, we seem to have gone from a kid's play area, through a tunnel, to a field. Anyone got a clue?”“There's a barn over there,” Josh pointed. “It's the closest thing to a landmark...”“Yeah.”Their walk was – and the word was getting worn out – strange.There was a path they found after too long, a beaten earth track with wheel ruts in it – looking like something from a hundred years ago, with wagon traffic instead of pickup traffic.Whitewashed farm fences ran along the right hand of the path, walling off a succession of fields from the road itself. There were fields with pasture – clover and grass – and fields with crops, and most bizarrely fields with impossibly big vegetables. Turnips four feet across, carrots broad enough they looked like they'd be as tall as a person... and strangely shiny.“Are we still underground?” Lacey asked. “I just looked up – there's no actual sun.”The others blinked, and then looked up to check for themselves.Sure enough, the blue sky had no sun in it. Everything looked as brightly lit as in a sunny day, but there was just a bright blue overhead.“...that's really creepy,” Jo admitted. “Right, let's keep going, I guess... I want some kind of answers.”“No kidding...”Topping the last rise, the two Beetleborgs were confronted with the front of the farm. Here at last, in addition to the two or three barns, there was a farmhouse.And, stood around in front of it, were half a dozen or so plush-like creatures – similar to the ones they'd run into before. At their head...“...that's Sailor Venus!” Josh gasped, then wished he hadn't as that attracted attention.Venus, in her Gatomon sleeper, looked perky and waved. Next to her, Saturn – also in her sleeper, this one a dragon – waved a little less energetically.“Good, more help!” Venus cheered. “Now we'll get the work done in no time!”“Work?” Jo repeated. “What work?”“The farm work, of course!” Saturn said. “This is a farm!”“It's a weird farm,” Lacey muttered.“Come on, now, you have to be all dressed up!” Venus announced.“Dressed up – no way!” Josh protested, raising his blaster. “I know what that means!”Venus raised a rope lasso and threw it. It wrapped around Josh's blaster and snatched it from his hand, then got Jo's as well.As the rope coiled back into her hand, it shimmered and revealed itself to be her Venus Love Me Chain – though corrupted by Nanny's power just like the heroes themselves.“Whoopsie! Can't have nasty blasties on a farm!” Venus chided. “Now, it's overalls time!”As the plushies advanced, she poked Saturn. “Get the joke?”“Yep!” Saturn nodded. “'cause they're sleepers, they go over all of them!”While they were enjoying the joke, the two Beetleborgs and Lacey were pinned down by the farm-hand plushes. They struggled, but the plush monsters were startlingly strong and didn't give an inch.“All ready!” Venus said. “Now, time for your nice sleepers! Hmmm... I know! I know what's good sleepers!”Three more plushes came out of the farmhouse, each carrying a pile of plush and fabric.The two corrupted senshi took the first, and began to get it onto Josh.First he got given a thick diaper, which went on despite his best efforts to kick and struggle. It was taped snugly around his waist, and then he was fitted into a thick, pink-and-yellow Miltank sleeper with hoof-mitts around his hands and feet and a big plush 'udder' in front of his belly.It incorporated a long tail which felt clumsy and hard to control, a pair of little plush horns on top of the hoodie-like head piece, and above all it was dense and stuffed and probably going to be hard to walk in.“Cows belong on farms, see!” Saturn announced. “And you're a nice Miltank!”“This is stupid...” Josh mumbled.“Now now!” Venus told him. “You've had your go, now wait your turn!”Josh tried to complain, but from that point they essentially ignored him.With him done, one of the plushes took him over to a corner – his waddly suit making it too hard to fight back – and the two senshi moved on to Lacey.She got the same treatment, but her sleeper was a little different. It was a big, fluffy, squirrel costume – perky ears, thick paw-like mittens on the hands, and a long springy bushy red-and-grey tail which was almost as big as the rest of the suit put together.There was also a plushy acorn attached to one of the mittens, so it always looked like she was carrying one around, and the head piece had a pair of buck teeth.“I seriously need to stop hanging around heroes...” Lacey muttered, as she was pulled to her feet and pushed on her way.Jo was saved for last.Her costume was, if anything, stranger still for the 'farm' theme – it had silky, fragile-looking membranes from the arms to the torso, and in a lot of other ways seemed fairly generic – well, apart from the familiar waddle and poof.She'd ended up dressed, in fact, as a bat.“How is this-” she began to say, and got patted on the head.“Good little batty,” Saturn said.“Now!” Venus clapped her padded, mittened hands. “You've got to do some chores before you get to leave!”“And you'll let us go at the end, will you?” Josh asked, trying not to look too silly in his padded Miltank sleeper. “How can we trust you?”“Lying is bad!” Saturn said firmly. “We don't lie about stuff!”“That's right!” Venus agreed. “So you can trust us!”“Yeah, right...” Jo muttered. “Well, I guess we don't have much choice... what chores are these you're talking about?”“Just normal farm things!” Venus told them. “Herding animals, clearing out the farm, and picking vegetables! Who wants to do what?”“There's gotta be a twist...” Lacey sighed. “Okay, I guess that I'll do the vegetables thing.”“Good!” Venus beamed, and a group of plushies with rakes and hoes stepped forwards. “Go with them, they'll show you where the chores are to be done!”Lacey followed, waddling in her squirrel-plush suit.Once she was gone, the two Borgs exchanged a glance.“I'll do the herding, I guess...” Josh decided. “Okay with you?”Jo nodded a confirmation. She headed towards the barn, and after a moment Josh followed Saturn out towards the field.Lacey blinked. “Okay, the heck?”She'd been ushered into one of the fields full of vegetables they'd seen from the road. This close, though, a number of things were clear.The most important one was that the vegetables (and fruits) were... giant toys. Plush or inflatable, instead of the real thing.“You've got to push the soil up around them!” one of the captured civilians explained to her happily, demonstrating.“No, seriously, what?” Lacey asked. “This is... okay, am I the only one seeing this? These aren't real!”“You have to do your chores!” another said, nodding firmly. “You promised!”After a moment more gaping, Lacey sighed. “Okay, whatever, I just want to get out of here. Give me that hoe.”She took the farming instrument with bad grace, and got to work – grimacing at the way her squirrel-sleeper made her waddle and wobble as she walked along the rows.At least it was fairly easy work. Hoe the earth up so it looked about right, then move onto the next one.She got into a rhythm, which helped her keep her speed up. Two or three converted civilians worked either side of her, hoeing up the earth as she did, and Lacey smiled slightly.This whole thing was strangely soothing, truth be told...After the carrots, there were the marrows – big, inflatable things, which needed to be watered with a big and heavy watering can which sloshed about.Slosh, slosh, slosh...Lacey found her mind wandering a bit as she worked, thinking about the sloshy sound of the water in the can. It was relaxing, soothing...She blinked, and pressed her legs together as she suddenly felt the need to go. Her... diaper... resisted being compressed, but she managed to stem the flood for now.After the marrows came the watermelons.Then the tomatoes.Then the apples.Fruit after vegetable after plant went past as she worked away, weeding and hoeing and harvesting and gardening, and after a while she wasn't really clear why she'd started or if she should stop.The garden needed work, and she'd been told to work on it. That was right.Her sleeper bulged out a little as it grew, and she didn't notice.“Okay, what do I have to do so I can get out of here?” Josh asked.“It's all simple!” Saturn said, pointing into the field.Following her pointing mitten, Josh saw a collection of a couple of dozen plushes. At this distance it was hard to tell if they were all plush or a costumed civilian, but he saw at least a few of the latter.“They're the cattle!” Saturn explained, as Josh noticed a Tauros and a Bouffalant and several kinds of sheep. “You need to herd them over for their bath, then get them all nice and dressed up!”As she said that, she pointed out a sheep-dip-like place over in the corner of the field. He could see from here that the water was a bright pink, and that piles of accessories and dress-up gear was over by the far side of the dip.“...really?” he asked. “Really?”“Yep!” Saturn confirmed. “Now, lickety-split!”Grumbling, the White Beetleborg set off – waddling awkwardly in his big padded Miltank costume.“How do I even herd them...” he muttered.As he found out shortly, though, it was quite easy. The corrupted and plushied civilians, and the plushies themselves, didn't seem especially bright.He was able to corral one of them away from the rest even with his waddling gait, and drive it towards the smiling Saturn.“Good work!” she giggled, as the moo-ing plushie cow was given a quick bubble bath. “Now, time to dress him up!”She overrode his protests and steered him towards the piles of accessories. “Go on! Pick a few!”“...and if I don't?” Josh asked.“Then you're not doing the chores right!” Saturn pointed out.Sighing, Josh got on with it.It became a bit monotonous, really.Find one of the plush cows, sheep or similar. Drive them towards the dip. Give them a bubble bath, and then dress them up.As the only thing that was remotely different, he found himself concentrating on the dressing up to break the sameness. He actually got quite into it, and made sure the herded plush creatures all got a different outfit.Eventually, though, the last one was through and dressed and happily sucking on a bottle in the other field.“Well?” he asked.“Just one to go!” Saturn informed him, and pushed him into the bubble bath.Josh should have reacted badly.He should have thrashed, or struggled, or tried to escape.But after so long doing it to cow after cow, sheep after sheep... it made sense that his Miltank costume should mean he had to do it too.So he accepted the bath, which left him smelling sweetly of roses. He accepted the accessories – bonnet and sparkly bows – and the bottle, and sat down with the rest of the plushified herd.His costume plumped up, as his eyes lost focus slightly. He was a good Miltank…Muttering to herself, Jo waddled awkwardly into the barn behind the sleeper-ified civilians.She looked around for something that would be as easy as possible to shift out of the barn, and noticed a pile of hay bales.They looked small enough and light enough to let her mostly not do any work, so she went over to them and got lifting. One came up easily enough, and she carried it slowly outside and set it down.“Good job!” Venus told her, making her jump as the voice came from just behind her. “You're doing great work, keep it up!”Jo shifted slightly in her sleeper and didn't say anything.Venus didn't seem to mind. “Hup hup!” she giggled. “We're gonna turn this barn into a fun-barn! But first we gotta clear it out!”Jo decided it wasn't going to be possible to just do nothing at all, not with Venus watching her, so she got to work as slowly as possible.Shifting one bale after another, waddling awkwardly with it outside, and then putting it down once she was through the door.Going back to do it all again.Every time she walked through the door the converted civilians were doing something else. Taking out tools, removing wood partitions, brushing the floor...They never really seemed to make an impact on the hay bale pile, though. It seemed that was her job.Jo lost track of time a bit, not really sure how long she'd been moving the hay bales. It could have been ten minutes or three hours, she wasn't sure, and she'd not thought to count the bales as she moved them.One time, as she lifted a bale, the whole pile shifted. Two more landed on top of the one she was carrying, and she flinched – then blushed, as a slight warm feeling made itself known.Her cheeks burned as she reached her plush-encased bat-wing-hand down to feel the front of her hidden diaper, then shook her head – the plush bat-head flopping with her movement – and got back to work.After an unknown amount of time, the barn was clear.“Goodie!” Venus cheered. “Now it's just time to make it into a super cute nursery! Come on, you get to go first!”She grabbed Jo's mittened, trapped hand and pulled her through the crowd and into the empty room.Except... it wasn't empty anymore.It was full of plushies, and diapers, and outfits, and a playpen and several large cribs and all kinds of paraphernalia.Jo blinked, trying to concentrate, and then Venus was giving her a nudge towards the crib. “It's daytime, silly bat! You should be asleep!”The 'borg suddenly realized how tiring the job she'd been doing was, and she couldn't hold back a long yawn.“See?” Venus chuckled. “Okay, time for your nap!”Protesting weakly, Jo found herself manoeuvred into one of the open cribs. The side was pulled up, and a lilting music-box tune started.Jo yawned again, eyes wavering.A nap couldn't hurt...…Thrust brushed aside leaves as he broke trail through the forest.“Keep your eyes open, guys...” he warned. “We don't know when we're going to run into another attack.”“Or what the heck the attack's going to be,” Axe cut in. “That chameleon was just nuts.”“What was up with its tongue?” Incisor asked, rubbing at his side. “That was way too sticky for me...”“Focus, guys!” Thrust called. “We need to be ready for... anything?”“What?” Axe asked, pushing into the bush he was halfway through. “What is it... oh.”“There's no space for me, what is it?” Incisor asked.“A circus tent, that's what,” Axe told him.“What? What's a circus tent doing in a forest?” A pause. “That we got to through a water park.” Another pause. “Underground.”“Monster lair, it doesn't have to make sense,” Thrust sighed. “Well, I guess we've got two choices. Go in or don't.”“I say go in,” Axe suggested. “We've been going through the forest for hours and we're completely lost.”Nods.“I guess that's settled, then – but look out, we could be attacked in there too.”The opening to the big top was a pinned-back flap of the tent, through which the three heroes entered with caution.At first it was dark in there, and for a few seconds their eyes had trouble adapting to the light – then, with a flash, lights lit up and circus music started to play.“Welcome, welcome, welcome in!” a cheerful voice said, and a pink person in an outfit bounced down off a trapeze to land in front of them. “Welcome to the circus!”She giggled, and at that point the Kamen Riders managed to work out who she was.“Pinkie Pie?” Axe asked.“Sailor Jupiter?” Incisor asked at the same time, then glanced at Axe. “Who's-”“Silly billies!” the figure giggled. “I'm Pinkie Sailor Jupiter Pie, of course! It's simple!”“...right,” Thrust said. “Okay, leaving now.”He turned to the flap and found it had gone. “...what the?”“It's time for the circus!” Jupiter giggled. “So you've all got to join in!”“We're not joining in, that's ridiculous,” Thrust said firmly. “Let us out!”“Weeeelll...” Jupiter frowned, tapping a hoof-sleepered foot. “I could do that... or... ooh, I know! You all have to take part in a circus game! Then, if you win, I'll let you out! Or maybe I'll bake a cake. Who wants cookies?”“Why can't you just let us out?” Incisor asked. “We're not interested in playing.”“But it's the circus!” Jupiter insisted. “Everybody loves the circus!”She sighed. “Oh, well... I guess I'll just have to play with everyone else!”As if on cue, a curtain fell down and pooled on the floor. It revealed a couple of dozen civilian humans – not actually wearing sleepers, for a wonder, though they looked fairly unfocused.“Who wants to play!” Jupiter asked, giggling, and got cheers back.“Hey, let them go!” Incisor demanded.Jupiter turned back to them, and tilted her head on one side. “You mean you do want to play?”“We want to rescue those civilians, that's what!” Axe said.“Hmmm...” Jupiter visibly pondered that. “I know! If you win the game, then they get to leave and be boring. Deal?”“...uh, I guess we're not going to get a better one-”“Pinkie promise!” Jupiter said.“I know this one,” Axe said. “Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye.”“Yay!” Jupiter cheered, and it rained confetti.“...how exactly do you know-”“Does it matter?” Axe asked, sounding a bit embarrassed.“You first!” Jupiter said, dragging Incisor over to an area of the big top. It didn't seem like far, but when he looked up he seemed to be hundreds of metres away from the others.“Why are we so-”“Skeeball time!” Jupiter told him, and steered him to one of a set of four skeeball lanes. He was on the left hand end, and there were three regular civilians in the other three lanes.Jupiter passed out the balls. “Okayeroonie, here's how it works. You got to get at least two hundred and fifty points in the time limit!”“What's the time limit?” Incisor asked, and Jupiter ignored him.“Okay, ready?”The civilians cheered, and Incisor sighed. “Okay, I guess...”“Great!” Jupiter giggled. “Go!”All three of his competitors got going, and Incisor rolled the first ball.It was a bit uneven, and wobbled off course – he got no points for it.Frowning, he took the second and rolled it harder – trying to correct for the wobble. The circus music distracted him, though, and it only fell into the ten-points bin.“Well done!” Jupiter said, clapping her hooves on the other end of the line. “Fifty points already!”Incisor frowned and tried to do better. He brought back his arm and threw, and this time it went into the forty bin.Feeling a bit better about himself, he rolled again – watching and willing the ball to do well.It ended up in the thirty bin, and he grinned. That was more like it!The fifth and sixth rolls only got him ten points between them, and a loud bing from the side made him look over – one of his competitors was already on a hundred and forty!Another roll, and he came up to one hundred and twenty, and a hundred and fifty.He was starting to relax into the game, he could feel it. This was so exciting!The music played overhead, and he smiled faintly. It sounded familiar... something he recognized from a film. Dumbo?He kept going. The next ball scored him a full fifty, bringing him to two hundred points, and he giggled – this was all sorts of fun!Incisor felt like a little kid again, playing at a restaurant, and his next score made him gasp – he was on two hundred and forty! Just ten away!As he got the final ball ready, sure he was going to win this, Jupiter blew a whistle.“Time's up!”“But-” Incisor whined.“Sorry,” she said, sounding downcast. “Maybe you want a consolation prize?”Incisor thought it over. Did he?The music reached a good bit, and he giggled again. “Sure!”Jupiter reached into her pocket and pulled a complete pink elephant suit out of nowhere.“Here ya go!” she giggled. “Just for you!”Incisor was by now completely in the grip of the childish excitement that had been building up all game. He couldn't get into the suit fast enough, not noticing how very padded and restrictive and plush it was, and when Jupiter zipped up the back of the pink elephant sleeper he just smiled faintly.“What's going on over there?” Axe asked.“I can't see, it's too...” Thrust replied, and then Jupiter came bouncing over again.“Hi de hi!” she giggled. “Okies, who's next?”“Wait, did he lose?” Axe blinked. “How?”“That's for him to know, silly!” Jupiter told him off. “It's not nice to gossip!”“...I have no idea how that makes sense,” Thrust sighed.There was a pause, and then Axe raised his hand. “Sure, I'll do this one.”Jupiter pulled him over to the side as well, and pointed him at a big machine with a dozen or so holes in it.She presented him with a squeaky hammer.“...so?” Axe asked.“Oh, this is a fun game!” Jupiter told him. “It's whackahero!”“Sorry, I missed that...” Axe blinked.“Whack-a-hero!” Jupiter repeated, more clearly this time. “You've got to get more than five more points than seconds you've played for!”“...okay...” Axe said, dubiously. He looked at the holes. “So I get points by hitting things?”“Only the right things!” Jupiter told him. “Okay, go!”“Wha-” Axe said, caught off guard, and mashed the hammer down on the first movement he saw.It bounced off, revealing a Power-Ranger-suited figure which then dropped back down into the hole.A quiet bing drew his attention to the score, which now said 1 – next to the time, which said three and ticked over to four as he watched.Realizing he had to hurry, Axe got to work. He got two more power-ranger figures and a Kamen Rider figure, and then his hammer came down on something bright orange.A sad boop came from the machine, and a figure which looked like someone in a fox costume hung there for a moment before dropping back down.“Oopsie!” Jupiter giggled. “You hit a sleeper! That's minus one!”“Minus – what!?” Axe gasped. “How am I supposed to... aargh!”“Just don't hit the sleepers, silly!” Jupiter told him. “Tick tock!”Frowning, Axe went back to playing the game.Every time he hit a sleeper, the bong of -1 points made him wince and resolve not to hit them again.Every time he hit a hero, on the other hand, the bing made him glad he was starting to catch up.As he played on and on, the squeaky of the mallet blending with the bong and bing of the machine – with increasingly more bings than bongs – he started to zone out slightly, lost in the flow of the game.Sleepers were good, don't hit them.Heroes were bad, mash them flat!The repetitive motion and the cheerful music and the visual and audio cues combined to infiltrate his mind, training him carefully and making him gradually more accepting of the idea of sleepers.And the game itself was pretty fun, too!Eventually, after he-didn't-know-how-long, he got a final point with a bing and the whole game lit up with flashing lights.“Good work!” Jupiter giggled. “You get our grand prize, a themed costume!”She held up two outfits. One of them was a Ranger-style spandex suit, the other a thick pudgy tanooki sleeper outfit.Head still swimming, Axe blinked slowly at them.“Pick one!” Jupiter told him chirpily.Axe pointed vaguely at the sleeper one, because sleepers were good. He blinked, wondering why he had, but by that point the hyperactive senshi in her sleeper suit had begun dressing him in it.It took only a very short time to finish the process. Axe was ensconced in a thick, comfortable, pot-bellied tanooki sleeper with a thick, plushy tail, and he smiled faintly as the hood of the sleeper squeezed him gently.Sleepers were good...“Where's my friends gone?” Thrust demanded, as Jupiter skipped back over.“They got their prizes!” Jupiter told him. “Now your turn!”She clapped her plush hooves, and about a dozen civilians ran over – and a series of girders descended from the ceiling to hang about five feet above their heads.“What's that?” Thrust asked.Jupiter ignored the question. “Who wants to play balloon burst?” she asked, and got cheers.“Here's how you play!” she went on, handing out balloon-topped hats. “It's simple! You just have to not have your balloon burst! Last one's the winner!”More cheers.“No way,” Thrust said, when Jupiter tried to hand him a hat. “This is ridiculous.”“Then I guess you're not getting to leave,” Jupiter replied perkily. She turned, and Thrust raised his voice.“Wait,” he called, hating himself. “I'll do it.”Jupiter was all smiles as she helped him get his hat on and handed him a boffer weapon.“Ready?” she asked, giggling. “Three, two, one-”Thrust tensed.“Go!”What followed was not quite what Thrust had expected.The civilians started laughing and running around trying to hit balloons and burst them, and Thrust had been about to do that too – but the moment Jupiter said go a number of nozzles attached to the girders started up, spraying white foam at random intervals at the battling civilians.When it hit one of them, there was a poof of plush material, and Thrust stared as it abruptly turned into the shoulder and upper arm of what looked suspiciously like a care bear themed sleeper.Another got hit a moment later, and this one looked an awful lot like the torso of a sleeper themed after the Roadrunner character from Looney Tunes.“The heck?” he asked, stunned, and then felt a whack on the balloon on his hat.Turning, he saw a giggling civilian already partly dressed in a deer sleeper raising his boffer sword for another hit.Thrust blocked that, and knocked the civilian's weapon out of his hands with the second blow. He was about to press the attack – he knew it was more important he escape and get help than that one already-captured civilian win this game – but a sudden soft, warm feeling on his back distracted him into looking around.There was a thick layer of furry yellow plush all down his back, reaching to just above his tailbone. Even as he watched, a second burst reached him and sprayed down his backside.“Get off!” he said, flailing at it with his free hand – which didn't work at all, and in fact made things worse as he developed a white mitten on that hand.The main event, though, was what happened to his backside.An enormous amount of poofy plush developed, expanding around his loins and completely engulfing them in plush which forced his legs apart – clearly concealing a diaper, and not doing a good job of it.Behind that, there was more material which spread out behind him – growing, and splitting, until he had no fewer than nine big bushy yellow plush 'tails' with red tips to them.It seemed familiar, but he wasn't sure where from...Another burst of foam caught his leg, engulfing it in a relatively thin – for this place – stockinglike black sleeper layer with a black paw bootie at the bottom.Thrust shook his head, looked up, and dodged the next burst. The civilian he'd missed swung at his balloon again, and he went back to the fight – trying to fight as best he could in his restrictive plush half-suit.Some minutes later, with a bang, Thrust could relax.He'd taken at least two more hits from the foam, resulting in a yellow-white hood with a vulpine muzzle and tall, pointed ears – out of which came red puffs which looked like flames – as well as a white raised shoulder-piece.“Okay!” he called out to Jupiter. “I won!”“You did, lucky you!” Jupiter beamed. “You get the special balloon winner prize!”“What's that?” Thrust asked, warily.Jupiter tapped her foot on the floor, and all the foam nozzles pointed at him at once.“A sleeper!” she said, just before they all fired.When the torrent of white foam had gone, Thrust was fully clothed in a thick, crinkly sleeper.The addition of the rest of the parts had made it more obvious what he'd ended up as, but it wasn't until Jupiter placed the also-transformed former boffer sword in one of his tails that it became completely clear.He'd ended up dressed in a plump, fluffy, nine-tailed Braixen sleeper.Inside, his head was swimming as he tried to concentrate over the soothing, soporific warmth the sleeper was giving him.“Nini time!” Jupiter told him, and despite himself he yawned.He just.. couldn't help himself...Muttering something, he sat down heavily on his padded behind, then curled up on the floor and began to drift off.There'd be time to……“Well, I guess we know one thing now,” Billy said.“What is that?” Ninjor asked.“The plushes can't have been able to get the door open,” he pointed out. “Otherwise we'd be kind of screwed by now, there's been nowhere to run.”“Your assessment is accurate,” Ninjor nodded. “The main concern, though, is where we will be going next.”Billy frowned, then agreed. “Yeah. I guess we're about to come out somewhere? The tunnel's been slanting up...”“Maybe that means it is about to enter open air,” Ninjor suggested.They kept going, and the tunnel did a sharp right turn almost back on itself, which also climbed upwards swiftly. Following it warily, they came to a section which was more like a passage in an old building than a tunnel – complete with candle sconces on the walls.A pair of wooden doors blocked their way.“I guess we go through?” Billy said.“Indeed,” Ninjor confirmed. “But we should be ready to retreat.”“Agreed,” Billy said, and opened the door.“...what the heck?”On the other side of the door was a huge open space.They were looking out over a railing onto an open space which was the size of a small sports stadium, with huge windows and chased stone columns and hanging chandeliers swinging gently from the ceiling.Below their vantage point were a set of benches, all facing a raised dais at the end which was fitted with all sorts of paraphernalia – a large musical organ, statues, stairs, carpets and books on carved lecterns.“This is... some kind of cathedral,” Billy said slowly. “I did not expect to find this...”“It does not make sense,” Ninjor said. “There is light coming through the windows, but we should still be underground.”“...yeah,” Billy agreed. “The heck?”Ninjor shrugged.As Billy leaned out further, stepping onto the red-carpeted catwalk which ringed the open space, he saw a number of moving figures coming through the door.They were, as he'd half expected, plushies. There seemed to be a theme, though – they were almost all ponies.Bipedal, plush versions of ponies – four alicorns, several unicorns or pegasi or regular ponies, as well as one plush purple dragon and one soft-looking mish-mash of all kinds of creatures.He recognized them almost at once. “They're all MLP characters,” he said, blinking. “Rarity's missing, though...”“They're what?” Ninjor asked. “I do not recognize the term.”“Uh – nothing,” Billy blushed.As he spoke, more figures came through the doors as the Equestrian plushes took up places – at lecterns, by the side, at the front or sitting at the organ. Upbeat music began to play as a couple of dozen of what looked like costumed humans – captured civilians? - filed in and took seats, giggling and laughing on occasion.“Darlings!” a female voice said.Billy jumped, and turned – seeing, much to his surprise, a bipedal plush Rarity standing there with hooves on hips.“You're late!” she admonished, horn glowing, and both heroes found themselves caught in glowing blue light which levitated them out into the main area.They slowly descended towards the front dais, the plush Rarity not letting them get out of her grip.“Late?” Billy asked, trying to get some kind of information. “Late for what?”“Late for your costume fitting!” Rarity said, coming down the stairs to the main floor and then striding out towards them as she levitated them to the wooden surface.“Costume?” Ninjor repeated. “This is ridiculous. What's going-”He stopped talking, blinking, as Rarity's magical glow intensified.She was still holding them in place, now only a few feet above the raised flooring of the dais. But now there was a gathering cloud of... material... around her.Padding, stuffing, cloth, thread, needles, wool, knitting needles... and other, stranger, things.“Is she about to make us costumes?” Billy asked.“Oh, darlings, you're far too thin in those silly clothes!” Rarity simpered. “You absolutely must try on my new autumn range!”The cloth and implements swooped down on them.Billy was first. He felt something thick and padded clamp around his legs, and struggled to look down – managing to see it as a diaper for just a moment, before it was covered with thick layers of stuffing. “What's the big-”“Well, darling,” Rarity said matter-of-factly, “these costumes are supposed to stay on for a long time, and I can't have you making a mess, now. Upsie!”Against his will, Billy was lifted into the air a few inches, and more of the storm of fabric coalesced there.By now, a pattern was emerging. There was thick material around Billy's chest, forming a layer at least two inches deep of padded softness, and thicker by his sides. Similar thick, poofy pudge formed around his abdomen, forcing his legs apart and mostly concealing his diaper.The layers on his arms were a little thinner, allowing him to move them fairly well, but his legs had no such easy time of it. They were covered over so thickly it would be tricky – though not impossible – to walk normally at all.The big change, though, seemed to be happening around his back.Billy could feel layer after layer after layer of thickness happening there, and after about a minute a large, narrow bowl appeared in Rarity's grip.As he watched, startled, he noticed that it was quilted by thick seams... and that it was made entirely of soft, plushy material.Humming, Rarity moved it underneath him, concave side in, and sewed it to his outfit.“There we go!” she said, nodding after a few more seconds. “Oh, darling, you look stupendous!”“Ooh, make a mirror!” the Pinkie plush said. “Let's let him see!”“Good idea,” the Celestia plush agreed, and her horn glowed.Billy was magichandled to his feet and placed on the ground facing a shimmering, mirror-like plane in the air, and blinked at the sight.He was entrapped in a gigantic, thick, plush baby blue Armadillo sleeper.The curved plush material that he'd seen plush-Rarity moving around was the 'back shell', and it was exerting a slight pressure. Nothing big, but it was subtly encouraging him to roll into a ball.It felt bizarre.The only other surprise was the smiling armadillo head his own head was looking out of.After a few seconds, the mirror vanished, and he was lifted into a big kid's seat which he hadn't noticed before that point.His vantage point gave him a good view of the stained glass windows, and he gaped.“Ninjor, you seeing this?” he asked, shifting a little to try to get comfortable.Ninjor was currently busy, trapped in the same whirlwind of cloth and plush that his ally had been, but he'd had a good chance to look at the stained glass windows beforehand.They showed... heroes, being defeated.Some of them were Sailor Senshi, such as the image of Venus being pulled into a dressing room or Pluto being carried along some kind of suit-making machine... but the others were far more familiar.Fellow Rangers, Beetleborgs, and Kamen Riders. Falling victim to a bizarre variety of traps and tricks, pacified and regressed, and at the bottom of the window – always seeming dozily happy about the whole thing.Of course, Ninjor was adamant he wouldn't fall victim to the same wiles!He was not having much luck fighting Rarity, though, as she casually made him a sleeper as well.There was brown cloth, light and dark. Grey, semi-stiff plush spines. A long, wooly, overstuffed, soft grey mane.“Mustn't forget all the comfy stuffing, either...” Rarity hummed to herself. “There we go!”She stepped back, smiling at her hoofiwork.Ninjor was almost completely buried in a great big, thick, overstuffed Entei sleeper. He tried to get up, and wasn't able to under his own power.“This is stupid,” he said. “You are not going to be able to influence me.”“Oh, dear,” Rarity sighed. “You need some help!”More cloth swirled together, producing half a dozen small plush critters which floated in mid-air.“These are your fairy godparents!” Rarity announced, as they began to giggle and circle down around him. “Patamon, Lopmon, Plusle and Minun, Gaomon, and Riolu!”“Wonderful...” Ninjor muttered, not finding it wonderful.“Isn't it?” Rarity agreed, lifting him with magic into a second chair. “Now that's done...”“...it's time for the song!” the Twilight plush picked up, waving a baton.Music started playing, though neither trapped hero was sure where from – it seemed to come out of thin air.“What's going on?” Ninjor asked, ignoring the giggling plush 'fairies'. “Where's the-”The choir began to sing.“What the...” Billy asked, shaking his head as the singing began. “What's... are we stuck in a kid's show or something?”The words were simple and cutesy, the music kind of simplistic, and not everyone was singing along in time. But together... it seemed to be strangely compelling.It reminded Billy of all kinds of things.The first day at school, in a seat that was too high for him so his legs dangled. Not really understanding the words on the board, or what the teacher was talking about.Going outside in the snow, wrapped up warm and snug, and laughing and throwing snowballs for hours.Playing with toy trains, for hours, because they were endlessly fascinating and he couldn't stop thinking of more things to do.Having cake and ice cream.Unwrapping presents on a birthday morning, and finding the wrapping paper just as amazing as the box and both much more interesting than what was inside...“...ly! Billy!”Billy jolted. “What?”“Don't give in to it!” Ninjor told him forcefully. “Don't listen! It is sapping your energy!”“Y-yeah,” Billy agreed, then clenched his eyes shut and tried to concentrate.Naptime... with the blanket over his head, in a lovely soft bed...Going swimming in the pool, with water wings...Ninjor winced as he saw Billy visibly – and audibly – lose his battle to resist the coaxing song about getting along and being a good little kid. His face went slack as he wet himself, and two of the plush ponies came over and began cooing things at him.Clenching his fists inside the padded Entei paws, Ninjor tried not to get sucked into the same thing.He began muttering a mantra, focusing on his training and blocking out the outside.“Heeey!”Trying to shake off the interruption, Ninjor resumed his mantra.“Silly-pants!”“It's time for sing-along!”“Don't be such a grumps!”Ninjor frowned as he realized the speakers were those flying plush fairy-things. “What's-”One of them booped him on the nose. “Boop!”“Silly Entei-babby!”“Just listen!”“It'll be much more fun!”Every time one of them spoke, Ninjor lost his concentration and listened to the music for a moment before recovering his equilibrium. “Can you stop-”“Silly!”“I know!” the Gaomon fairy-plush said. “He needs playmates!”“Play-what?” Ninjor asked.The plush clapped, and whistled.Two blurs – one blue and one yellow – came leaping from opposite sides of the giant room, and landed lithely on either side of the plushed, entrapped Ninjor.They were, if he'd recognized them, a Suicune and Raikou plush that were about the same size as his Entei suit.Purring, they began to bat at his outfit – making the rocker-chair he was in swing back and forth, further interfering with his attempts to ignore the syrupy and pervasive song.“Gerroff...” he muttered, shifting and feeling the crinkle of his outfit.Moving magnets around on the fridge to spell out words.Fresh baked cookies...Shaking his head, Ninjor tried to focus.“Silly!” the Plusle and Minun said, speaking at the same time. “It's a good song, just listen! Listen!”Dancing around on the lawn, giggling...Bouncing on the trampoline...Ninjor tried to focus.He really did.But as the Raikou plush waved its spark-tip tail in front of his eyes, and the music and song went on, and the fairy plushes giggled, and the Suicune plush tickled his tummy...He lost it. Just for a moment – but it was enough.He sighed, and relaxed, and wet.After that, even the clarity he recovered was too little, too late. He was out for the count in under five minutes, in a wet diaper under his pudgy, poofy Entei sleeper....After an indeterminate length of time, Lightningborg startled awake.“What in tarnation happened?” he asked, then frowned for a moment – not sure why he'd phrased it like that.He dropped the issue after a few seconds, though, and began trying to work out the answer to his actual question.Why was he... here?Where was here?He looked around, trying to clear the fog from his brain.Here was... well, he was lying on something. Something soft, deep and comfortable.There was a weight on his chest, too, something lying across him. And he was ensconced in what felt like the most sinfully comfortable pile of blankets...Then, it all came back in a rush.He'd been trapped, by... by... plushies? And forced into an outfit?“We got to get the Sam Hill out of here,” he said, and shifted. It took a lot of effort to push himself over on his side and then begin to get up, but as he did so he noticed two other blanketed lumps in the bed.One of them was wearing what looked like a red dinosaur suit – no, a Guilmon suit. A Guilmon sleeper, the Beetleborg realized, and with that came the realization his outfit was a sleeper too.Blushing, he reached out across the floor of the... the crib, the giant crib he was stuck in... and shook Wing Knight's shoulder. “Hey! Wake up!”Wing Knight yawned, and shook his head.“Wake up, I said!” Lightningborg insisted.Another yawn. Then Wing Knight seemed to come enough to his senses that he remembered what had happened, and woke up properly. “What's going on?”“We're trapped in here, and we're gonna darn well get out!” Lightningborg replied. “Wake th' other one... Torque. Wake 'im up and let's get goin!”“Okay,” Wing Knight nodded, pushing himself to his feet, and prodded Torque's purple-pink Goodra sleeper. “Wakey wakey!”Like the other two, Torque found it hard to wake up, but once he'd been jostled enough he seemed to snap out of it.“How goo we get out of here?” he asked, looking around. “I mean, how do we get out of here?”“That side's down!” Wing Knight said. “They forgot to put it up!”“Then let's get goin'!” Lightningborg called, waddling ahead in his Alicorn-Applejack sleeper.He fell over a couple of times on the sinfully soft matress of the cot as his bootied feet sank into it, and had to break his fall with his mittened, plush-encased arms, but – like the others – he made it eventually, and they carefully clambered out of the cot.“Which way now? We've got to goodra back to the surface!” Torque frowned. “I mean, go... go back to the surface.”“That door's open,” Wing Knight pointed his mitten. “We could go that way?”“Good! Let's git while the gittin's good!” Lightningborg agreed, and they broke into a faster waddle.Ten feet from where they'd started, barely a quarter of the way across the outsized room, Lightningborg tripped on a toy. Wing Knight tripped on him, and Torque tripped on him, and they ended up in a heap.“Looks like it's goodra- uh, good- -going slower for us,” Torque muttered, pushing himself back to his feet and beginning a safer waddle.As shouldn't have been surprising after this long in the surreal underground lair, the other side of the door wasn't anything like a continuation of what was in there.Rather than another room, or a corridor, what there was instead was an outdoor area which looked like the middle of a sparse forest. Walls blocked off heading left or right, at least until the edge of the gigantic river that rushed across their path.“Do we got to cross that?” Wing Knight asked.“I guess we've gotta!” Lightningborg replied. “Look at that, there's things floatin' in it!”“They look like we could goo across by jumping,” Torque suggested. “Goo across... go across?”“That's what y'all said,” Lightningborg agreed. “Makes sense t' me!”With that decided, they approached the water.As they got closer, the rushing sound of the water got louder in their ears – and a bit more distracting. More than one of the heroes had to stop for a moment and press their legs together to suppress a twinge.“Looks like there's some chains,” Torque pointed, as they reached the water's edge. “Holding the platforms in place. That's how they're not getting pulled dra-downstream.”“Good spot!” Wing Knight nodded, then shook his head. “I feel all fuzzy...”“Concentrate!” Lightningborg admonished. “Okay, I'm gonna go first!”He stepped back a pace, then jumped to the first platform.It rocked slightly with his weight, and he wobbled, then jumped to the second.With every jump, there was a splish sound. With every second, the water rushed past with a series of splashes.He gritted his teeth, trying to keep his balance and ignore the growing pang in his bladder.Once he slipped, leg wavering and arms windmilling, but managed to – just – get himself under control instead of falling in the river.Getting to the far side, he breathed a sigh of relief before turning to the others. “Okay, come along now!”Wing Knight was second. He was a bit more agile than Lightningborg, relatively speaking, and was able to hop from platform to platform with his arms out by his sides and the costume's tail if anything helping his balanceHe didn't slip once, and jumped to the far side with a huff of effort. Then he crossed his legs, looking uncertain. “I feel like I need to go...”“Fight it,” Lightningborg reminded him. “We... well, fight it!”The sleepered hero nodded, still looking uncertain.“Come on!” Lightningborg added to Torque. “We're both over, you kin do it too!”Torque nodded, and began to jump.It was immediately obvious he was finding it harder than the others. His sleeper seemed to handle getting wet differently, and the spray was weighing him down a lot as well as throwing his centre of balance off.At about the fourth float, he slipped and fell off.“Torque!” Wing Knight called. “Are you okay?”Silence for a few seconds. Then Torque's head came out of the water in the purple-pink Goodra sleeper, now looking faintly green in a few places.“I'm fine!” he said, sloshing towards them. “It's only about three feet deep!”Arriving at the far bank, he hauled himself out of the water – his sleeper dripping wet, and clearly weighing him down.The steady drip, drip, drip of water from his outfit added to the trouble all three were having in holding their bladders – but none of them mentioned it, too embarassed to bring it up.“Let's keep goin',” Lightningborg said after a moment.Their trek through the bizarre woods was slow, but still exhausting – the weight of their sleepers and how restrictive they were made all three move slower than they should have, and Torque's Goodra sleeper in particular – being completely sodden with river water – made him plod sloshily along at an agonizingly slow speed.“How much further is it?” Wing Knight moaned.“I don't rightly know,” Lightningborg replied, raising a stuffed forehoof to his head for a moment. “An'...”He subsided.“Hey, look!” Torque pointed. “That looks like a place we could goo!”Wing Knight squinted through the trees, then nodded. “It's a castle!”“Well, ain't like there's a better way t' go,” Lightningborg agreed.He reached down to press on his diaper for a moment, fighting off another pang.The castle turned out to be enormous.It clearly had at least two layers of walls – an outer curtain wall and an inner keep, surmounted by a huge tower.“That tower's huge!” Torque blinked. “I bet if you goo to the top you could touch the sky!”“Don't be silly, sky can't be touched!” Wing Knight replied.Lightningborg frowned. “Wait, now ah think of it... we are after bein' underground. And that tower could be th' way back to the top!”That, he felt, made sense.Then he squirmed slightly, wincing as he realized he'd become distracted and wet himself slightly.“We'll have to hurry,” he said. “Look for a gate.”“There's one!” Wing Knight said loudly.“SSSh!” Lightningborg snapped. “Look, guards. We got t' get around them!”The fact that the guards were armed with boffer weapons and wearing great big plushy-sleeper outfits – a panther with a droopy stuffed plush tail, and a big burly fluffy Abomasnow – didn't matter. They were guards.“We could goo.. go? Goo? We could climb up the walls?” Torque suggested.He squeezed his legs together, managing to do it just in time to avoid wetting himself. It was a close thing, though.“...maybe we kin do that,” Lightningborg agreed. “Good thought.”A few minutes of careful movement got them to the shadow of the walls, near an area which looked fairly climbable from a distance.“Right, let's git goin',”Lightningborg said, waddling up to the wall and grabbing on as best he could with his hooves. “Errrgh!”The poofy bulk of his sleeper, and the diaper forcing his legs apart, made it anything but trivial.Wing Knight joined in after a moment, his springy rubber-coated foam 'claws' making it at least a bit easier to climb up.They had to keep pulling, though, and it was difficult to lift so much weight while free climbing.Dimly, they were aware it could have been a lot easier – should have been – but it wasn't, and most of the climb was pure strain.After a few minutes, Torque called from the top of the wall. “Done!”“What in tarnation?” Lightningborg asked, looking up. “How'd ya do that?”“It's all goodra-gooey!” Torque explained, waving his mittened forearms. “All the wet sleeper is sticky!”His expression was just a little bit unfocused, and there was perhaps more squish in his sleeper than there'd been a few minutes ago.“Keep climbin',” Lightningborg muttered, taking his weight on three limbs at a time and trying not to end up in a place he'd have to climb down again. “Keep goin'... don't look-”His hoofed back leg slipped.“Whoaaa!” he cried, managing to stay quiet at the last second.After hyperventilating a bit, he swung himself back to the wall and continued up – wincing at the squishing sound from his diaper.Without further incident – though not without a lot of strain – he and Wing Knight made it to the top of the wall and into a small tower.“Where now?” Wing Knight asked, then looked with interest into the courtyard. “Ooooo...”“Don't get distracted, now,” Lightningborg warned. “We got t' keep on truckin'!”“Goodra goo!” Torque said, then shook his head. “Uh... I mean... guard!”Alerted, the three sleepered heroes hid in the corner while a plush guard – a Litleo wearing an adorable medieval soldier outfit – came through the tower and walked right past them.Wing Knight giggled, and the guard stopped, but then kept going after a minute.“Sorry...” the Guilmon-suited kamen rider said, once the guard had gone. “It was just so...”“We can't just be spendin' time wastin' time!” Lightningborg admonished. “Come on, we got to git into that tower!”They made a motley procession, waddling across from the wall into the main building.Halfway there, Wing Knight became the third and last of the group to lose his battle with his bladder, and wet himself with a sigh. His waddle became more pronounced as he slowed, and a quick push from Lightningborg was all that really kept him moving.Once inside, about all they could do was just keep going. Their focus was waning as the environment and their sleepers insidiously pushed in on them, making them conform to the design of their sleepers – it somehow seemed to be more fun to go along than to fight it.On their way through, the three nearly ran into someone happily running around in a Birdramon sleeper. They didn't get seen, but the experience was so frightening to their increasingly fogged minds that Torque was the only one who didn't lose concentration and wet again.Hazy and woozy, they waddled up the steps of the great big tower they'd come to climb – which took several long minutes – before finally reaching the top.“Well, we here,” Wing Knight said. He looked around.“...what now?”Torque sank to the floor, legs aching, and sat on his padded, squishy diaper. “Goo... goo...”“Consarn it!” Lightningborg said, looking around. “Ah thought this was s'pposed to be a way outta here!”“Look!” Wing Knight said, pointing. “Birdie!”Lightningborg turned, and was just in time to see a giant black plush bird-shape before it reached down and plucked him from the tower top.“Apple – I mean, um...” Wing Knight frowned, not sure of the word to use.“Goodra goo!” Torque said excitedly, jumping up – then falling over again as his diaper unbalanced him.The huge plush bird – it looked like a condor – tossed Lightningborg's costumed form into the air and swallowed it down, then came swooping back.“Look out!” Wing Knight said, trying to take a stance – then his knees wobbled, and he nearly fell over.By the time he was starting to regain his footing, the plush claws had him and Torque too.Banking out over the castle – now with cheering guards and converted civilians all over the grounds and walls – the condor tossed first Torque, then Wing Knight into the air and gulped them down.The experience of being eaten by the giant plush bird was... strange.All Wing Knight felt was a soothing, plushy, tickling warmth. It soothed away his worries, and then he drifted off to sleep – wetting as he did so.…There was a jaw-cracking yawn.Billy yawned a second time, thoughts of playing in the sandpit still running through his head, and his eyes lazily opened.A moment later they widened, as the situation came rushing back.“Wha-!?” he asked, shaking his head and discovering he was lying on his back – and having trouble getting up. “Ninjor? What-”“s' not time to get up yet,” a familiar voice yawned.Looking to his right, Billy saw... an eastern dragon style sleeper, thick and padded, with a sleepy face looking out of it.“Tanya?” he asked.Tanya blinked, then seemed to wake up a bit. “Billy? Was that you?”“Yeah, it is,” Billy confirmed, trying to rock himself upright. He gradually formed a picture of what he was wearing – an armadillo-themed sleeper.That's right, 'Rarity' had put it on him before. He'd forgotten...A third yawn came from their left, and then Jason hauled himself out of sleep.He looked around, crawling a bit in his wyvern sleeper, then blinked. “Wait, where's... uh...”Suddenly coming to his senses, he blushed. “I was... about to ask where mama was...”“This place is getting to us,” Billy said, finally managing to get himself upright – though he couldn't avoid his legs splaying in a waddle. ?“Where are we?”Fighting another yawn, Tanya was the first to look around.They were lying on a pile of blankets – huge, thick blankets at least an inch thick each – in the middle of a huge play-area, which was scaled for children their size or maybe even a bit larger.There were rattles, strollers, a rocking horse, big toy cars, a pile of wooden blocks and all sorts of other things stacked in piles or neatly lined up.“...okay, this is pretty bizarre, but kind of impressive too,” Billy admitted.“Is there a way out?” Jason asked. “One without any plushes? I ask because we got caught by a kind of bizarre double-team of griffin and wyvern plushes.”“Ponies for me,” Billy admitted.“What, like My Little Pony?”“Yeah, but huge,” Billy defended himself.“A bizarre cursed game show,” Tanya explained. “They made us do all kinds of stupid challenges... anyway, let's get out of here.”“Sure thing,” Jason said, though his gaze lingered on the huge pile of small stuffed toys for a moment despite that.He shook his head, wondering why he was having thoughts like that.“That looks like a door,” Billy volunteered, pointing. “It's already slightly open, look!”“Good spot,” Tanya agreed. “I think that's the best way to go. Come on – and make sure you don't touch anything, we don't know what could happen.”It was one thing to say it, but a lot harder for it to actually happen.Jason bumped into a drumset, which crashed to the floor in a cavalcade of cymbals and made all three heroes jump, and then the first real warning that they were going to have trouble getting out was when Tanya tripped over her own costume 'tail' and landed on a rattle.The shaking sound it made seemed to hang in the air for a moment, and she found herself absently picking it up as she got up again.Puzzled over why, she gave it a shake, and found it a lot of fun.So she shook it again, and smiled to herself.“Hey!” Billy said. “Give us a turn!”He seemed surprised to have said it, but Tanya took it seriously. “No!” she said, turning away from him and continuing to shake the rattle.“It's our turn!” Jason whined, and shoved her.She fell to the floor again, hitting hard, and felt indescribably sad. Not sure why, she began to cry.Jason snatched up the rattle as fast as he could – too fast, and his plush-mittened grip wasn't strong enough to hold it.The rattle went sailing away and landed in a pile of pillows.“...what just happened?” Billy asked, rubbing his head. “Ow...”“Was that fing – uh, that thing... it must have been magic,” Tanya said, rubbing her forehead. “I was suddenly really obsessed with it...”“Let's keep going,” Jason said after a moment of silence. “And get out of here before anything else happens...”Now taking extra care, the three heroes headed for the partly-open door.There was at one point a kind of wall of plushes in the way, and – not wanting to risk it – the waddling heroes took the long, slow way around.After what felt like fifteen minutes of painstaking, clumsy waddle, they were out of the piles.“Okay, nearly there,” Billy sighed, rubbing the back of his sleeper ruefully. “Walking in this is really tiring, I feel like I've come miles...”“Look out!” Tanya said, pointing.“What is – gah!”Jason and Billy were nearly run down by a high speed bassinet, a big sturdy pink thing with large wheels and a basketlike main body for a baby to be placed.“Okay, where'd this come from?” Billy asked, waddling in a circle to try and keep it in sight.“It came from over there,” Tanya pointed vaguely. “What do we do, guys?”“I say we run!” Jason said.Barely had he done so, though, when two more stroller-shaped blurs came shooting towards them.One of them, a very minimalist one which was just a fabric seat and buckles on a frame, singled out Jason. It rolled steadily towards the wyvern-suited hero as he tried to get away, and animated straps lashed out to snag his arms and legs.Thrashing, he was lifted into the air before being turned around and his padded tush laid in the seat.Straps snapped closed, pinning his limbs, and one of the spare lengths of fabric promptly shoved a bottle into his mouth.Unable to resist, he began to suck. The rhythmic action calmed him down a bit, and his eyes fluttered as a lethargy stole over him.Billy was not having it much better.The stroller after him was a bit more traditional, with a folding tray in the front and a canopy to put over the infant. It cornered fast, bumping into the back of his knees, then zipped around and got in the way as he tripped and fell over.He landed in the baby accessory face-first, padded stomach hitting the tray, and it bent down before flipping him upwards and drawing the canopy back.Billy went quite high, flipping over in mid-air, and was too startled to really realize what was going on until he plopped squarely down in the seat of the stroller.The canopy snapped up as a strap snaked across his wrist, pinning him in place, but there were no limb straps... though instead different means were used to keep him still.A jangling mobile fastened to the top of the canopy began to swing back and forth, flashing and sparkling, and Billy found it drew his eye like iron to a magnet.The memories the song from before had brought up resurfaced, though this time he was even younger. Sitting in his comfortable push-chair, being taken everywhere and not having to do any walking...The old-fashioned bassinet that went after Tanya was the simplest of all. It was basically a large basket with a soft base, covered with blankets, and on top of a frame.With neither the straps of one stroller nor the impact of the other, the bassinet used a different method to trap Tanya. The blankets flew out of their starting positions, fluttering and flapping around Tanya's legs and tugging at her feet as she walked.It didn't take more than a few seconds for her to crash to the ground, making her gasp in pain and rub her knee with her mittened hands, and then the blankets all wrapped around her limbs and hoisted her into the bassinet.Once she was in, the blankets began to wrap around her, producing a smothering, soothing warmth.Tanya yawned, made sleepy by the warmth of the blanket, then frowned.“No!” she said, shaking her head, and began to rock from side to side.The bassinet wobbled as she moved it. It didn't move much at first, but she timed her thrashes carefully and built it up until it was crashing down and leaning the other direction......then it fell with a crash.Startled by the impact, Tanya felt her bladder leak a bit before she could stop it.Cheeks flaming, she pushed herself upright and waddled towards the other strollers.She came to the one which had grabbed Billy first, and grabbed one of the handles before wrenching at it.The stroller's wheels spun as it tried to avoid falling, then gave up with a similar crash and fell on its side.“Wha?” Billy asked, eyes drooping, then reached down and felt his crotch.The audible squish noise made him start in surprise, and he scrabbled at the buckle before getting it off and pushing himself upright with difficulty.“How are we gonna get Jason out?” he asked, to cover his embarassment.“I know just how,” Tanya replied. “Do what I say.”She toddled quickly to the other stroller and began to undo the straps. They reacted near-instantly, grabbing her and lifting her away from Jason so she couldn't try to break him out.As quickly and carefully as she could, Tanya moved her arms to snarl the straps up in themselves. “Now!”Billy moved in, diaper squishing as he moved, and hit the catch on the first strap. Unable to pull him away with the ends of the straps tied in a knot, the stroller couldn't resist, and he quickly did the other ones before pulling Jason out.“You okay?” he asked, knocking the bottle out of Jason's mouth.The wyvern-suited hero's knees wobbled, and he yawned – then seemed to come back to himself, and blushed deeply.“Hah!” Tanya said, as the stroller let her down in its confusion and she used the opportunity to pull it over with a clatter. “Done!”“Let's go,” Billy said. “The longer we stay here the more danger we're in.”Luckily for the three heroes, nothing else in their path seemed particularly inclined to attack them.Waddling slowly, they reached the partly-open door and pulled it across to let them out.Anxious to leave, all three piled through before they got a good look at where they'd ended up. When they did, the sleeper-ified and slightly wet heroes just had to gape.It was an enormous outside play area. The kind of thing that you'd see outside a particularly well-off restaurant would be lost in the middle of this huge accumulation of climbing frames, wooden structures, slides, ladders, stairs, the occasional bouncy castle, climbing nets, overhead walkways and even dozens of trampolines.Occasionally someone in a sleeper was visible, clearly enjoying themselves immensely playing around in the outdoor play area.“...well, this monster's not on a budget,” Tanya quipped, a little startled by the sheer scale. “What the heck do we do now?”“I can't see a way around,” Billy said. “The structure goes right up to the fence on two sides. I guess we'll have to go through the middle.”“Yeah, that looks like the only thing we can do,” Jason agreed, shifting slightly in his pudgy outfit. ?“What's the plan? How do we tell the quickest way through?”“Do we want to take the quickest way through?”The others looked at Billy.“Well,” he said, shrugging. “If we all take the same route one trap could get all of us.”“That...” Tanya yawned, and shook her head. “That makes sense. Let's pick different routes. Everyone meet up on the other side.”“Right,” Jason agreed, and they went their separate ways.Tanya clambered up a set of stairs, wobbling slightly, and breathed a sigh of relief at having climbed to the top without slipping and falling back down.It had already happened to her so far, after all.“Hi!”Tanya jumped, startled. She turned around quickly, wobbling as her altered balance nearly made her fall over, and was confronted with someone wearing the silliest sleeper she'd seen yet.It was a kind of... well, it was vaguely lion-like. But the fluffy mane was all spiked and blue, the chest was orange with black and green dots, and the arms of the sleeper – complete with pudgy mittens – were dark blue with bright blue dots.Adding to the strangeness was that it was further dressed in an explorer's outfit, and that there was a colourful tropical style facepaint to add to the ensemble.There was also, as was by now inevitable, a thick diaper bulge.“Nice to see you!” the lion-sleepered... person... said, reaching out to shake Tanya's hand. “This place is great fun!”“Uh, yeah,” Tanya said, not sure how to react. “I'm going to just... head for the exit, really.”“A..” the converted civilian said, drooping. Then he perked up again. “I know a great way to the exit! Follow me!”With that, he waddled off at speed.“Wait!” Tanya called, following as quickly as she could.She didn't want to end up being left behind if this person was going to show her to the exit.“Are you sure this is the only way through?” Jason asked, trying not to splay his legs too much from the thickness of the diaper.“It's the best!” the costumed civilian told him, wobbling a little in his padded, pudgy, bubbly costume. “There's some boring ways with ladders and lots of stupid stairs, but this is quick and fun!”Jason looked dubiously at the huge, expansive ball pool. “Okay... if you say so.”“I do say so!” his companion agreed, his face-painted head peeking out of the mouth of a big blue bubble-dragon sleeper, and adjusted the frilly maid costume he was wearing. “Come on!”“Wait!” Jason called, and winced as the sleeperified civilian waddled happily out into the ball pool. The soft crunch, crunch sound of the balls reminded him of how it had been when he'd gone to play areas as a kid, and he blinked before fighting the urge to yawn.He had to follow the bubble-dragoned civilian, didn't he...After all, otherwise he wouldn't have someone to show him around. To show him the way out.And that would be bad.Thus convinced, Jason waddled forwards too, using the padded-wing-encased hands under his suit to help him through the ball pool.This was actually pretty nice...Billy yawned, and blinked a bit.“Why we watching TV?” he asked, rubbing his eyes.“Don't you want to watch TV?” asked the plushified civilian next to him.“Well, yeah, but...”The civilian – wearing a shifting-coloured chameleon suit complete with multi colored facepaint, and whose only outfit was a hat with corks on it – hugged him a bit closer. “Then watch it! It's great!”Billy had to admit, the program playing was good. It was...was...Well, he couldn't think of a specific reason why it was good. But it was.It was all about how to play with toys, and how to run around and laugh, and how to have all kinds of fun.It was a good video.He shifted a bit, and felt a sudden warmth. His addled mind quickly discarded the question of why he felt like that, and so he just wiggled his bottom a bit and kept watching the TV.As soon as it was over he'd go find the exit.As soon as...…This was a really fun programme.Tanya drank another glass of the lovely warm milk.“This is really good,” she said, wobbling slightly. It was all creamy and sweet, and there was a hint of vanilla, and perhaps of chocolate...“Another, dearie?” the cow-plush running the stall asked.“I...” Tanya frowned. “I shouldn't. I need to get going...”She looked down, and rubbed the waist of her sleeper – feeling a pressure underneath. “And...”“Come on, just one more,” the lion-sleepered civilian showing her around said. “I'm having another one!”“Just one more, dearie,” the cow-plush advised, pouring out two glasses of warm, lovely milk.Tanya's mouth watered, and she nodded.When she got the glass, she held it carefully in her mittens, and began to drink.It slipped, hitting the floor with a clatter, and the milk spilled out.“Oopsie!” the lion-sleepered one giggled, as Tanya stared.“Aw, poor dearie...” the cow-plush said, filling another milk – a bottle, this time. “Here, this should stop you spilling it.”Tanya looked at it.It was, unmistakeably, a baby bottle.“But...” she said, blinking.“Come on,” the cow-plush said enticingly, shaking it, and after a moment Tanya took it.Her legs wobbled as she began to drink, and she sat down hard on the ground.She didn't quite finish the bottle before her eyes closed, and she drifted off to sleep.…The first thing LadyBorg saw when she began to wake up was the ceiling.The second thing she was was what was between her and the ceiling – a great big mobile, with at least a dozen colourful dragons circling around in three rings going in alternating directions, and with little flames dangled in front of the colourful dragons.“Wha?” she asked, yawning. “Where... huh?”She blinked sleep out of her eyes, padded mitten-paws reaching up to rub her eyes as she yawned, and she shook her head to try to clear it a bit.“Is it time to...”Clarity returned, slowly and with great effort.“Wait...” she said, looking around at the great big cushion-filled basket she was in. There were plushes and mittens and diapers and all kind of soft things... and she had an urge to lie down on top of them and go back to sleep.But that wasn't... no! She was a hero, not some kind of crinkle-dragon!A yawn escaped her, and she clapped her hands to keep alert.She had to focus!Some of the plushes shifted, and she pulled away a soft frilly blanket to reveal...Dragonborg, she recognized him – just. Though he was trapped in a crinkly frilly dragon costume with an even more exaggerated diaper than hers was, and he yawned as he began to go through the same waking up process as she had.The other one was more recently familiar. She recognized his rose-petal-and-black dragon costume – it had to be Kamen Rider Sting!Pushing down the fragments of memory calling him her hatchie sibling, she reached down and shook his shoulder. “Hey. Wake up!”“Wha?” Sting asked, yawning.“We've got to get out of here,” she said. “I don't know how, but... there's got to be some way out of the surface!”“What's this room we're in?” Dragonborg asked.“Some kind of...” Ladyborg paused, not sure what to call it. “Nursery? Except with a basket instead of a crib... look, there's a door.”She helped the others up, and they helped her up when she tripped on a blanket, and they waddled slowly towards the door.“Oh, dear...” said a crinkle-dragon suited senshi, deep in her mansion. “They're trying to get away... um... silence trap?”The mansion shifted slightly.“Okay, which way now?” Dragonborg asked, leaning on a bannister to keep himself upright.“I don't know,” Sting admitted. “There's a door here, a corridor there... that stair goes down straight into a door... and should we be moving down or up?”“We'll have to pick one,” Ladyborg decided. “This way.”She waddled over to a door and opened it, revealing a room with a couple of long dinner tables – currently empty – and a dresser against the wall. “Why is there...” Dragonborg asked, then threw up his hands. “I don't know. Let's just use this route, it's as good as any.”There were nods, and they moved carefully into the room – making sure to move fairly quickly, though considering what they were wearing that wasn't much.As they reached the middle of the room, though, plinkety-plink music began to play.“What's that?” Sting asked, looking around.“It's a music box!” Ladyborg said, pointing. “Look!”They looked.It was an open box with a dancing dragon motif on the lid, making a twinkly sound as it wound out the tune it was built for.“That's pretty...” Sting yawned. “Pretty nice...”“Yeah,” Ladyborg agreed. “Reminds me of... makes me think of flying...”They all yawned, one after the other. Then dragonborg frowned, uncertainly. “Uh... wait... something's wrong here...”What's wrong?” Ladyborg asked, with another yawn.“I feel... all...” Sting blinked, shaking his head.Dragonborg waddled forwards, frowning and trying to concentrate, and reached out to the music box. His claw-mitten tapped it, and the top wobbled.“Come on...” he said, tongue stuck out, and tapped it again.It wobbled, and then fell shut.The moment the music stopped, the spell broke.“Wha?” Ladyborg asked, and managed to avoid falling backwards.“It was the music!” Sting said. “Good work!”“Thanks...” Dragonborg smiled, panting with the mental effort. “Where should we go now?”“...that way,” Sting decided. “It's as good as any.”Three more rooms passed without any particular incident, giving the padded heroes a view of several different kinds of room furnishings, and then there was a room which had nothing more than a row of couches and a pair of lamps.“What's this room for?” Ladyborg asked, frowning. “I knew what some of the others were, but...”“Maybe it's for photos?” Sting said uncertainly.“Could be...”“Um...” a sleepered senshi said, looking at a control panel. “There!”The only other door was the other side of the couch row – and the seats went up to the walls on either side, so there was nothing for it.“Who first?” Ladyborg asked.“I'll do it,” Sting said, and clambered up to the couch cushion with help from the others.Dragonborg came next, with help from Ladyborg boosting him, and the two dragon-suited heroes had a quick rest to get their breath back.As they reached down to get Ladyborg and help her up, though, the couch shifted – then struck.The seat cushion they were on flipped up, pinning Sting against the back of the couch. Dragonborg was a bit to one side, so got knocked sideways instead – at which point the other seat cushion got him too.“What the-!?” Sting asked, struggling and trying to resist the pressure on his front. “Get off!”He pushed at the cushion, but it resisted his attempt to get free of it.Then the lights clicked on.The swirling, colourful, flickering light drew Sting's eye, making him stare, and his arms relaxed despite himself.The lights seemed to be the most important thing in the world. He looked deeply into it, his eyes reflecting the flow of rainbow colours, and relaxed further.“Guys!” Ladyborg called, keeping her eyes shaded so she didn't see the colours. “Snap out of it!”There was no reaction from either of them, but a few seconds later Dragonborg seemed to relax completely. He sighed, and Ladyborg heard the faint sound of him wetting himself.Looking around in desperation, Ladyborg decided there was only one thing she could do – and waddled over to the light stand before butting into it.The impact made her fall back onto her padded tush, and she tried not to complain, but it worked – the lights went over with a crash and broke, letting her allies recover their senses.That also seemed to weaken the couch, and after a few more seconds the villainous cushions flopped back down.“Phew...” Ladyborg said, getting up again. “You guys okay?”Sting blushed. “... kind of,” he said, eventually. “I'm pretty... well... wet.”Waddling warily across the remainder of the room, they exited and were left with another corridor.“Lots of doors here too,” Sting said, blushing and trying not to focus on his soggy diaper. “I... uh, any ideas? I don't really have much...”“That way,” Ladyborg decided, pointing. “It's the same direction as we've been going, and this place has to have an end somewhere.”“Right,” Dragonborg agreed, setting off first.As he waddled along, his mind wandered a bit – despite himself, he kept glancing at his allies, wondering how they'd look wearing lovely frilly outfits with thick, padded diapers-Dragonborg blinked, and rubbed his eyes. This place was getting to him.“You okay?” Ladyborg asked.Dragonborg was about to reply when, with a crash, two doors opened on opposite sides of the hallway.One of them produced a sparkly pink-and-gold plush about seven feet high, a quadruped a little like a long-necked dinosaur with a leaf on its head and a set of buds around its neck.“Bayleef!” it announced, and plushy, springy vines whipped out from it.Dragonborg was snagged near-instantly, vines wrapping around his arm and leg and hoisting him into the air.As he struggled, Ladyborg and Sting backed away quickly – and Ladyborg only noticed the other plush creature when soft, downy wings enfolded her.“Sssssh,” the white-feathered plush cooed at her. “Relax, little hatchy, you don't need to bother yourself any more...”Ladyborg yawned, suddenly very tired, and her skunk-dragon tail drooped a bit as her eyes fluttered. The intoxicating softness of the swan-plush's feathers got her so sleepy that within a moment she was snuggling up, heedless of the wing cupping her diapered rear to check how wet she was.Dragonborg wasn't much better off, with the Bayleef plush first capturing all four of his limbs and then exhaling a puff of baby-powdery breath all over him – though it also smelled a bit like pollen, which reinforced the comfort he was feeling.“Great...” Sting winced, backing away with a series of squish sounds. “How do I get out of this one...”There was the sound of another door opening, and Sting glanced back to see a pleasant-looking sheep plush emerge from a room behind them.“Come over here, dear,” the sheep plush called warmly. “Don't you want a nice fresh diaper?”Sting felt an odd compulsion to go over there for a moment. Then he shook it off, and turned before waddling as hard as he could into the swan.Busily cooing sweet nothings into Ladyborg's ear, the swan was caught off guard and knocked to the floor. Sting nearly fell over as well, but steadied himself before stepping on the swan's chest and grabbing Ladyborg. “Come on!”He pulled her up and along with him, wincing at the clap of wings from the swan behind him, and both of them crashed into the Bayleef plush.Windmilling his arms and almost falling over, Sting somehow stayed upright and grabbed Dragonborg with his free mitten. The vine-ropes were still slack, fortunately, and he pulled them free before waddling headlong with his two fellow heroes to a partly-open door.They made it through and got the door shut, and the plushes hit it with a soft flumph.“Phew...” Ladyborg said, seeming a bit more alert now. She pushed her diaper in, wincing at the squish, and sighed. “Well, I guess we got away...”“Oh, dear...” the padded, poofy-suited Sailor Senshi said. “It looks like they don't want to play with the nice plushies...”She sighed, sitting back on her throne with a loud crinkle. “Poor things! They won't be all snuggled and warm and nicely taken care of, and Momma Nanny will be upset!”Venus sniffled, the mere thought of someone kept so cold and unpadded making her feel anxious. “It sounds horrible!”After thinking about that for a bit, she picked up her teddy and hugged it. The teddy was three feet high and lovely and soft, and she felt a bit better after that.Then she decided it was time for some milk, and maybe even a cookie.“I hope Big Sis Neptune can help them...” she mumbled, already feeling better as she drank down the warm milk.“I'm becoming increasingly convinced that this place is just trying to bizarre us into giving up,” Ladyborg observed, looking at the rippling wall of translucent something in front of them.On the other side of the wall, plush and inflatable versions of things like fish or otters or all kinds of other sea, river or water creatures swam.One of them came towards the wall, and all three heroes hurriedly waddled back to get some room if it was a fight.Much to their surprise, though, it just hit the wall and rippled through it. As though it was less solid than glass, but much more solid than water, the plush frog pushed its way through the barrier and landed – mostly dry – on their side of it.It didn't seem to notice the heroes, instead bouncing off in another direction.“What was that?” Dragonborg asked, shifting slightly.Before they could get an answer, though, another shape appeared.This one was a suited-up civilian, who waddled happily into the barrier. It took several seconds for her to ripple through, and when she was on the other side a bubble of air surrounded her head and shimmering tiny bubbles covered her Fletchinder costume to prevent it getting too waterlogged.She swam off, her giggles audible, and the heroes looked at one another.“I guess we can go through?” Ladyborg said tentatively.Several minutes of searching revealed no other open route out of where they were, so – with reluctance – the heroes decided to take the water route.Stepping through the wall of energy was a strange experience. It bulged out as they walked into it, seeming to cling to the surfaces of their sleepers, and a bubble formed around their heads containing air. Then there was a threshold passed, and with a “glop” they were floating in the cool water with bubbles coating their heads and tiny shimmering ones forming a layer across the surfaces of their sleepers.“Okay, we're here,” Dragonborg said, his voice distorted by the water. “Where do we go?”“I guess we look around for some kind of way out,” Ladyborg said, and began to swim.The soft rush of the water around her as she moved was distracting, and she winced as it made her bladder abruptly start to ache and pester her.“This could get annoying...” she muttered, trying to move so she didn't provoke it too much.“Whoa...” Sting said, looking around. “I know this is some kind of crazy monster lair, but... this is actually a pretty amazing place. Look, it's like a coral reef.”Dragonborg and Ladyborg followed his gaze.There were a good dozen sleepered civilians at least, swimming around and playing. There were giant soft coral-like formations that seemed to be made of plush or foam, and inflatable dolphins swimming around, and plush manta rays, and fish of all kinds – all some kind of animated toy – and an octopus...“I do see what you mean,” Ladyborg admitted. “But right now I just want to see the exit. Let's try over there.”She pointed, and they began to swim – then Ladyborg blushed, squeezing her legs together. “Oh, no...”“Just keep going,” Sting advised her. “We need to get somewhere to solve this at all...”“Right,” she nodded.Dragonborg hissed a moment later, pressing his own legs together. “Argh! This place is so... gah!”The girl in the Fletchinder costume swam about, giggling.This place was so much fun!There were streams of bubbles, and there were cool jets of water, and there were all kinds of fishy plush toys! She was having the time of her life!Her suit was getting a bit soggy, as the water slowly got through the bubbly shield, but she didn't mind – she barely noticed.Noticing something neat, she swam down towards the sea floor. There was a colourful sea anemone, and some multi colored clownfish swam about in it.They looked really nice!She reached out to touch one, and her mittened, wing-clad hand touched the anemone.“Ow!” she winced, pulling her hand back and pouting.That had stung!She looked a bit distant as her bladder began to ache, and released it automatically. There was no reason to hold back, so why be uncomfortable?The front of her suit yellowed slightly, and she pressed it with a giggle at the squishy feeling before swimming off to look at something else.A few minutes later, she noticed something approaching.It looked a lot like a seal – a really big seal!The Fletchkinderfied civilian giggled, and playfully swam away from the seal. It followed her, big mouth gaping as it closed in and wooshed past her.She slowed, and it nosed at her diaper before flicking its body around and gobbling her up!Except... she didn't go all the way in.The seal's mouth held her around her shoulders, keeping her snug and tight, but still able to look around. It pressed on her sleeper from all directions, making her squirm happily, and then swam off to take her on a tour.“Uh... guys?” Sting said, pointing.“What?” Ladyborg asked, legs together as she tried to avoid wetting yet again. “What's wrong?”“There's what looks like some seals coming straight towards us.”“That's not good,” Dragonborg agreed. “Ready to fight them off, guys!”“How?” Ladyborg asked. “I can't get to my weapons with all this plush padding, and we're not exactly able to do underwater martial arts!”“Then I guess... we'll have to run for it!”Sting nodded, and they swam off – splitting up, to make it a bit harder.Dragonborg kicked his padded, plush-encased legs hard in a crawl-kick, trying to move as fast as possible.It wasn't easy. The weight of the gradually-becoming-more-sodden suit slowed him down, the thick padding messed with his stroke, and the seal seemed to lazily pace him with ease – every time he shot a wary glance back, it was closer.Then a pair of squeaky plush lips closed over one of his legs.“Wa – gah!” he said, kicking out with his other leg, and hit the nose of the seal with a soft flumph. It seemed undeterred, and pulled him backwards before opening its mouth and clamping down again... on both legs this time.Dragonborg struggled, legs trying to kick frantically, and the seal seemed to shift back slightly – its lips moving down towards his ankles. He tried again, and kicked at empty water as the seal opened its mouth and lunged again.A plush tongue wrapped around his ankle and pulled him back, and slowly but surely Dragonborg was tugged into the plush embrace of the seal.He wiggled about a bit once inside it, hoping for leverage to do something useful, but the plushy interior soaked up all the force he could muster without problems. Then it gave him a caressing squeeze.“Erk!” he gaped, as the pressure went directly to his bladder. Attempts to push his legs together didn't help, and he wet his hidden diaper quite thoroughly.The seal seemed to like that, rewarding him with a rippling massage, and it began to swim off – with him in it, unable to do anything but look – towards a predetermined point.As it arrived, he saw the others.“So you guys got caught too, huh?” Sting asked, looking sour. “This place, I swear...”Ladyborg just blushed.The seals all made a kind of 'Ort ort!' sound, then swam in formation a little to the left of the entry gate.The three heroes, trapped as they were, were taken on a tour of the underwater scenery. They were shown a big inflatable whale and carried through the bubbly waterspout, then taken through some kind of musical number with dolphins and crabs and several sleeperified civilians.They did not join in.After that, they were given a visit to a place full of small plushes, and there they saw a woman wearing a spectacular outfit – and a Gomamon plush costume.“What the...” Dragonborg said, startled. “Neptune?”The sleeperfied, babified Senshi waved at them and swam up alongside. “It's fun under the sea!” she said brightly. “It's so wet everywhere you don't even feel like you should hold it in, and the watery sounds just make you want to go all the more!”Sting squirmed, trying not to think about it.“It's also lovely and splashy!” Neptune went on. “Splish splash, and you don't need to worry about falling over because you can't fall over when you're swimming!”There was a whimper from Ladyborg's direction, as she wet again.Neptune swam alongside them for five minutes in her doofus Gomamon sleeper, and it felt like an eternity as she talked incessantly about how good it was to be a swimming little baby in a cozy plush suit.There was a splash, and a big grey shape came to the top of an icy lake.The shape swam over to a large, snow-dusted area of wooden decking, and splashed up onto it before wiggling and spitting out a bedraggled dragon sleeper.Dragonborg shook his head, coming slowly to his feet, and looked around.It was... icy.Snowy.For some reason, though underwater had been a tropical sea paradise... above the water was a chilly winter wonderland.There was an ice-bound lake with drifting floes – even as he looked, wary for an attack, the seal plush that had captured him went back underwater and two more full ones appeared – and what looked like an island at the centre.There were thick, inviting drifts of snow all around, the kind of thing that was a delight to play and romp around in.There was a big, sprawling wooden house, and they were standing on the decking. And there was a pine forest around the edge, and grey, snow-laden crowds overhead, and even a large decorated tree in the window of the house.“...I'm never going to understand this place,” he sighed.With another splat, Ladyborg landed on the wooden decking. Sting wasn't far behind, and he wobbled to his feet with heavy use of the decking rail to keep him stable.“What do we do now,” Ladyborg asked.“Well, it's not a stupid idea to just jump back in the lake,” Sting muttered.The others looked at him.“What?” he asked defensively, squeezing the tail of his sleeper and making droplets of water fall off. “It's the only way we know to get out of this area...”“Yeah, but-”The lake flashed white and froze.“...so much for that,” Dragonborg winced.“Oh, dear!” a voice said. “Poor babies!”The three heroes looked, dreading what they'd see.A polar-bear-suited figure stood in the door of the house. “You poor things!” she said. “You must be so cold and hungry – come in, please!”“I guess we should-”“Run!” Dragonborg said, heading for the frozen surface of the lake.It was not a shining example of heroism.Apart from the fact they'd tried to run away, the lake's surface was so slippery smooth that none of the three heroes could get any traction. They slid to a stop and stayed there, flailing uselessly.Humming to herself, the corrupted Sailor Mercury walked easily over the ice and picked them up one at a time. She juggled the first two into easy holds, securing them over her shoulders as if she'd been doing it for years, and carried all three into the wooden house over their mumbled protests.“Now, now,” the bear-suited Mercury smiled. “It's time for you to get a nice warm-uppies!”“This isn't exactly dignified,” Dragonborg muttered, blushing hotly.Sailor Mercury set them all down in a playpen, and walked out of the room. They heard the sound of rushing water a moment later, and the three heroes exchanged glances.“We'd better get out of here,” Sting said, struggling to his feet with the help of the playpen bars. “Who knows what's going to happen...”“Yeah,” Ladyborg agreed, looking a little distant.“You okay?” Dragonborg asked, to no response. He tried again, shaking her shoulder, and she turned with a start.“What happened?”“You kind of went... odd,” Sting tried to summarize. “Just... stared out the window for a bit.”“Oh, sorry,” Ladyborg said, frowning and crinkle-squishing. “I... well, I was sort of thinking of when I used to play outside as a kid. Running in the snow, making snowmen...”“Snowball fights,” Dragonborg agreed.“Getting all-” Sting stumbled, and sat down with a squish. He blushed – then paled. “Guys!”The shout seemed to get through to them, and the others turned to him looking dazeed before snapping out of it.“What happened?” Dragonborg asked, and yawned.Before they could discuss it, Mercury came in again.She clapped her padded paws, making a flumph noise. “Okay, bubble bath time!”“Bubble bath?” Dragonborg repeated.There turned out to be a lot more bubble than bath.The water was warm and frothy, and Mercury made a point of scrubbing away at any dirty spots on their sleepers, but the bubbles were everywhere and very extravagant – some of them pink, some of them white, and some of them as big as a hand while others were piled into bubbly cliffs and hills.At first the heroes tried to just sit stoically, but a smell filled the air as the bubbles popped which reminded them of baths back home – back when they'd been young enough to have bubble baths themselves.Before long Sting was popping bubbles and giggling, and once he started to do that the scent got strong enough that the others succumbed as well.It was maybe thirty minutes later – it was hard to tell – when Mercury lifted them one by one out of the bath and gave them a careful, doting towelling-down.The strange thing was, after so long immersed in the bubble-bath, it was really hard to accept having to leave. All three heroes fussed about it, not even puzzling – at first – over why their sleepers weren't even wet from the bath water.Of course, that might have been that they were clearly wet from another source.By the time they were starting to come back to their senses, Mercury was already started on the next step.“Of course, dearies, you'll need to be all warm and cosy what with it being winter,” she said cheerfully, and opened a cupboard.“Wait, what...” Dragonborg asked, head feeling all bubbly and fluffy. “Uh... wait, what do you mean winter? It's summer...”“Now, now, it doesn't snow this much in summer,” Mercury said, sounding as though the very idea of summer snow was childish and silly, and got out a thick snowsuit from what turned out to be a wardrobe. “Let's have your handies!”Dragonborg automatically offered his mittened hands, then frowned. “Wait, no, this isn't right...” he said. “Why-”Mercury talked over the top of him. “Who's a good baby? Whoooo's a good warm baby?”Ladyborg pouted, upset it wasn't her first, then seemed to notice what she was thinking.Frowning, she shook her head to try to clear it – though it was slow going.“There we go!” Mercury said, tightening the cuffs of the snowsuit. “No nasty cold is going to get in through this! And now you just need your boots, and your bobble-hat, and your gloves... oh, and don't forget a scarf...”Gradually, more and more fluffy warm material was piled on Dragonborg until he was quite rotund.“There!” Mercury beamed. “Much better!”Ladyborg was next. Being a little more alert than Dragonborg had been, she managed to fuss and struggle a bit, but Mercury basically ignored it and gussied her up as much as Dragonborg had been.By the time it was Sting's turn, he was thinking clearly enough to attempt an escape – of sorts.He got calmly into the snow suit, then when Mercury turned him around to zip up he lunged forwards off the table – flumphing to the floor on his belly with a whoof of escaping air, before pushing himself to his feet and toddling frantically for the door.He got four steps before tripping over the legs of the snow suit.“Aww, boo boo?” Mercury asked, giving him a kiss on the nose with the plush of her polar bear suit. “Poor little baby, he's just too cold and hungry – yes he is!”Sting was given two pairs of mittens and an extra silly bobble hat, possibly as punishment – though it was hard to tell.Once they were dressed up so warm they'd probably have been able to trek across the Antarctic, Mercury sat them around a table – a full size table, but made to look small like the kind a baby would use, with similarly oversized “toy” cups and “kiddie” cutlery.“It's time for a tea party!” Mercury announced, wedging Dragonborg into his chair tightly enough he'd have a lot of trouble getting out. “Who wants cake?”Silence.“All of you!” she smiled, ignoring what had actually happened and cutting three slices of sugary, sweet jam sponge. She poured out “pretend tea” into sippy cups with juice in, and put them in front of each hero. “Eat up!”Dragonborg stared at the cake and the cup, not wanting to do anything.“Your turn first!” Mercury said, crouching down and cutting off a bite of the cake with a plastic spoon. She held it up to his mouth, and he shook his head – clamping his lips together and turning away.“Choo-choo!” Mercury said, waving the spoon back and forth. “Here comes... the train! Is the tunnel open?”To his surprise, Dragonborg's body responded more-or-less on its own.His head turned back, his mouth opened, and the sweet-tasting cake went in before he could close his mouth again.“There we go!” Mercury beamed, as Dragonborg chewed and swallowed. “Wasn't that nice?”Dragonborg muttered something unprintable.“Time for another one!” Mercury said, clapping her hands. “Who's ready for another bit of cake!”Again, the hero turned away – and, again, as soon as Mercury started on the cutesy baby-soothing patter, he turned eagerly to open his mouth and have the cake.By the third one, he was getting a bit fuzzy about things.By the fifth, he was using the spoon himself.“There we go!” Mercury praised, and moved on to her second target. “Don't you want a drinkie?”Ladyborg looked panicked, having seen what happened to Dragonborg.Mercury picked up the sippy cup and took one of Ladyborg's mittens in her free hand, wrapping it around the handle of the sippy cup so she couldn't drop it, and then pushed it up to her mouth.Ladyborg fought, but after a few seconds had to take a breath and Mercury forced the tip of the cup into her mouth.She sucked, and the apple juice flowed into her mouth.It was... surprisingly... pleasant...Ladyborg's face relaxed slightly, and when Mercury took her hand away she kept drinking.“And I bet you'd rather have a cookie!” Mercury giggled, turning to the third and last diaper-suited hero trapped at the table.Sting tried to struggle free, but had no luck.“There we go!” Mercury said, some time later. “All full up!”The cake had been demolished, the drinks drunk, and biscuits and cookies had.Dragonborg felt full and almost content, but there was a nagging uncomfortable feeling that wouldn't go away.“A..” Mercury giggled. “It's time for burpies!”She lifted Dragonborg easily out of his seat, positioned him over her shoulder, and gave his back a pat and a rub.Pat-pat.Rub-rub.Dragonborg felt something bubble up in his chest, and a moment later he let out a burp.“There we go!” Mercury said, as Dragonborg relaxed – tension gone with the air.She put him back on the chair, and he went almost limp as she let go.Sting was next, lifted up and given the same treatment, and then Ladyborg got it too.All three were left zoned out and content by the time Mercury was done, and she began to head over to the door – then gasped.“Silly me! I forgot to give you changies!”“What?” Dragonborg asked, a bit indistinctly. “Changes?”Mercury bustled over with a stack of diapers, and lifted Sting up onto a changing table. “You all need changies, sillies!”The fabric of Sting's winter clothes – and his suit – seemed to be no obstacle at all to the corrupted senshi, who easily undid the diaper beneath and gave him a wipe before replacing it with a new one.Of course, the new one was thicker than the one it replaced.“There!” Mercury said. “All snug! Now, your turn!”Both of the Beetleborgs were changed as well, with calm efficiency – and plenty of nose-booping and a bit of teasing – before Mercury carried all three of them to the door.“It's time to play outside!” she said, in the tones of one announcing a great treat. “Don't get too chilly, now!”She opened the door, and took them out into the snowy landscape.Just in the time they'd been inside, a fresh coat of glittering snow had blanketed everything in crisp white. The sleepered heroes gaped, losing focus for a bit, at the amazing sight – it looked like the cover of a Christmas card.“Whoa...” Dragonborg said softly.There were a series of yaps, and some plush wolves came bounding across the snow. There were at least a dozen of them, and they looked... somehow less dangerous than real wolves in their design. They had big paws, sleeker fur than most real wolves, and their ears were a little less sharp and angular.“Look!” Mercury said, crouching down and depositing her passengers. “It's time for some little tykes to play around with the snow, isn't it?”“Play in the snow?” Sting repeated, the idea strangely attractive.“That's right!” she said.Ladyborg was bowled over into the soft snow by one of the wolf plushes, which began to give her big licks with a velvety tongue. “Hey!” she giggled, flailing randomly. “Gerrof!”The wolf plush licked her again, and two or three more came bounding over. More of them started playing a roly-poly game of tag in the snow, sending powdery snow flying everywhere, and Dragonborg giggled at the sight.He looked a little surprised at his reaction, but Mercury patted him on the head with a bit poofy suit-paw. “That's right,” she told him, soothingly. “It's okay to have fun in the snow! You're all wrapped up warm and snug, after all!”Dragonborg was still hesitant, so Mercury gave him a bit more of a push. “You could make a snowman, or have a snowball fight, or make a snow angel...”That was enough.The dragon-suited hero took a waddling step, sat down, and started to gather snow together.None of the heroes really kept track of time.There were games of tag, with wolf-plushes and dragon-sleepered heroes running around chasing one another. There was a snowball fight, and a snowman-building race, and races and building an igloo and skating and just crunching around in the snow having fun, and there was sledding...It was like all the times it snowed at winter as a child, rolled into one super-fun and snug and cosy warm combination, with Mercury always ready to give out mugs of hot cocoa with marshmallows so the sleepy heroes could keep going and keep having fun.They played, and played, in a warm, snug haze, and lost track of time..…Tanya slowly stirred, feeling as comfortable as anyone could possibly be. She felt surrounded by a warm soft feeling with an extra bit of small warmth near her legs. However she had felt like she had slept enough so she slowly opened up her eyes and stretched as she yawned before looking around – feeling strangely disconnected, almost like she was experiencing too much for her senses to handle and so she kept losing focus.She was in a stroller of some kind with a line of strollers filled with plushies as far as she could tell. There was a large open space with dozens of closets, drawers and chests filled with clothes near here with a large runway where anyone could walk down with an open space at the end of the runway for people to use. There was also a gigantic set of bleachers filled with all sorts of sleeper wearing people who eagerly talked admits themselves – just as the doors opened and the sleeper wearing sailor senshi came in accompanied by a kitsune plushie, a kangaroo plushie and a gigantic pink hippo plushie with clown make up and a maid outfit.Sensations kept rushing in all at once, and Tanya could barely keep her train of thought from going off on tangents."Good morning dearies! Today we'll be having a pageant with all of the good boys and girls here! Isn't that wonderful?" asked the Kitsune plush with a immense amount of good cheer.All of the heroes were making all sorts of warding gestures in a way to discourage getting picked but the plush didn't seem to mind."Aw, none of you want to participate? I'll just pick one of you at a time, but first there's one thing I must do to help everyone get properly dressed and ready. May I have eleven children come up here please? They'll be dressed by the Sleeper Senshi themselves, while Momma Nanny deals with the babies here," said the plush as her nine tails snaked over and picked up Andrew, who seemed disturbingly okay with what was happening.A set of eleven sleepered civilians ran on stage with the group consisting of a Llama Pinata sleepered girl, a terror toad sleepered girl, a fox sleepered guy, a rooster sleepered guy, a inflatable dalmatian sleepered guy, a snizzard sleepered boy, a Gible sleepered girl, two guys in a red panda and a Impursonator sleeper and two girls sleepered in a Trixie and a Princess Cadence outfit. "Hm, now what outfit to get for you? You do seem like a good boy if you're this calm about your first pageant." said Nanny as she looked over Andrew as the rest of the sleeper senshi pulled out all sorts of outfits from a matador costume, a minstrel outfit and a maid outfit to name a few. "I know! Perhaps a cute little Pokemon costume for you to wear. I'll even let you pick it out." said Nanny as she rummaged through a chest before pulling out a Togekiss costume and a Gothitelle costume."Now which one do you want dearie?" asked Nanny politely as Andrew struggled to decide. "Uh.... Can I get both pwease?" he asked nervously. "Sure you can! Hear you go!" said Nanny as the fabric of both outfits combined so now it was mostly a Gothitelle costume with a pair of flowing Togekiss styled wings with a fancy headdress. "Thank you Momma!" said Andrew before wondering why that sounded wrong as he slipped on the outfit with Nanny's help.After Andrew was done being dressed, he looked around at the fellow pageant members whose outfits could be described as...Llama Pinata matador, a Terror Toad Kamen Rider with a pinata themed armor, a Fox McCloud sleepered civilian, a Rooster Minstrel, a dalmatian paw patrol police pup sleepered civilian, a Snizard office worker, A Gible maid, a Red Panda waiter civilian with a clearly visible outer diaper, a impursonator sleepered civilian with a teacher outfit, a Trixie sleepered civilian with a themed magician outfit and a Princess Cadence sleepered civilian with a wedding dress."Awwwwww! You all look adorable! Now are you ready to dance for all the little babies here?" asked the Kitsune plushie as her tails waved around in an enchanting pattern."I am! I am!" said Andrew as he and the rest of his civilians echoed his sentiment."Okay! I'm starting up the music now," said Sailor Moon as she put in a CD in a music player and turned it on to the first song. Andrew was listening in rapt attention as he tried to clumsily dance to the fast paced beat.The lyrics began, and he absorbed them more than actually thought about them. "One group of sailor senshi, stuck inside a dungeon. Just like that they fall to Nanny and now they're little babies." Andrew clumsily bumped into both the Gible sleepered civilian and the red panda sleepered civilian and knocked them over as he tripped on his outfit. He also wet himself from the shock as Sailor Moon helped him up."Aww, you poor dearie. Guess you got a little too excited, huh?" she asked as she picked him up and carried him to the stroller and strapped him in – though not before giving him a bottle of warm milk to drink which he accepted greedily as he guzzled it down.Jason was clearly agitated as he panted in a dog like fashion – for no particular reason, just thinking it was a good idea."Are you ready, you cute little hatchy? It's your turn next." said the Kitsune plushie as she unclipped Jason from the stroller."Yes! Bark! Woof!" shouted Jason before wondering why he barked... a moment later, his Wyvern costume's tail wagged and a slight hissing sound could be heard before he stopped caring about the lapse.The next group of eleven civilians came down to the sailor senshi with this group consisting of a Mega Diancie sleepered girl, a Chocobo sleepered guy, a half angelic, half demonic draconic Cerberus sleepered guy, a Klonoa sleepered girl, a mega mawile sleepered boy, a gator – hyena fusion sleepered girl, a sphynx sleepered civilian with the head fully uncovered apart from a flowing mane, a familiar-looking Articuno sleepered girl, a Scyther sleepered boy, a Growlithe sleepered boy and an Azulongmon sleepered girl.Each of the civilians took their place in front of the Sailor Senshi while Nanny looked over Jason who hopped around on all fours with his tail wagging around just like a dog's. "Now, now. You need to hold still so I can dress you otherwise you won't get a treat," said Nanny as she pulled out a small box of dog biscuits from her pouch. Something should have seemed very wrong with this to Jason but his bestial mind instantly complied as he sat on all fours while panting eagerly wanting a treat for himself."Well, since you act like a giant puppy, maybe you should look the part," said Nanny as she rummaged around in a small drawer before finding what she was looking for.The outfit was a gigantic, cartoonishly cute dog themed romper suit with an extra thick waist thanks to a gigantic inner diaper, with a set of gigantic paw mittens and booties, a cartoonishly large hood with a happy, cute Labradoodle dog's face (complete with big eyes and floppy ears), with the final bit being a plush collar with a leash and a plush bone tag with the name Jason on it."Now hold still while I get these booties on you. Lie down," said Nanny firmly. Jason complied and laid on his back, his tail still twitching eagerly as he panted at the thought of being such a good boy with Nanny slipping the booties and mittens on with ease."Good Boy! Now roll over and then stand up and you'll get an extra treat before we get you fully dressed," said Nanny, causing Jason to instantly roll over and then stand up before barking eagerly."Excellent, here's another one of Momma's special dog treats," said Nanny, as she let Jason eat off her boxing glove before slipping on the rest of the romper suit with ease due to Jason's eagerness. Nanny clipped on the collar as well as a golden harness before saying, "Now lie down and you'll get a special belly rub before you go for a dance." she said happily as Jason instantly rolled over to his back with his dog-head hoodie bobbing up and down in time with his pants, floppy ears swinging side-to-side. Nanny then proceeded to rub and tickle his belly causing Jason to murr with pleasure as a long loud hissing noise could be heard from him. After about three minutes Jason got up with his massive sloshing diaper making numerous squish noises as he lined up with the group, which consisted of the sleepered civilians in a variety of outfits.There was a magical queen outfit with butterfly wings and plastic royal regalia, a Mario styled overalls and cap, a decidedly cute set of baby clothes with a Nanny plushie with a "push me. I talk." button on it's stomach, a full body video game one piece pajama, a princess peach outfit, a colorful sea slug costume with flowing fins, a Pharaoh outfit with a set of millennium items for the wearer, a 3rd generation Pokémon outfit, a gigantic frilly maid outfit styled after a sailor fuku, a pink vest with the sky pup logo and a winged plastic backpack and a Paw Patrol Police Pup outfit styled for the Azulongmon sleepered civilian as they all giddily looked around.The music in question was a slow waltz with the sound of water running the background as the group just cuddled together as they tried and failed to dance while wetting themselves. After about eight minutes the music stopped and Jason bounded back to his chair to be clipped in by Sailor Moon."Aren't you just the cutest puppy ever? That's right you are! Yes you are!" said Sailor Moon as she rubbed Jason's belly as he panted in heavenly bliss before falling asleep with a dopey panting smile plastered on his face.Next the Kitsune plush went to Kamen rider Dragon Knight, who clearly looked like he was somewhat aware of what was going on."Kyootchie Coo. It's time for you to get dressed my little baby," said the Kitsune plush as she unstrapped him from the stroller."I'm not a baby." said Dragon Knight, though this seemed to be trying to convince himself due to the unsure tone. The next group of sleepered civilians were a Charizard sleepered civilian, a Tonu neopet sleepered civilian, a Turkey sleepered civilian, a Lutari neopet sleepered civilian, a Botanical lion sleepered civilian, a Road Runner sleepered civilian, a Wile E Coyote sleepered civilian, a Inflatable Krookodile sleepered civilian, a Elecmon sleepered civilian, a vulture sleepered civilian and a civilian who was dressed in an odd mix of a corgi and a Druddigon sleeper."Now what to get you? Certainly something water themed of course but what to pick?" asked Nanny as she looked over Dragon Knight who was fidgeting nervously."Don't fidget, little one. I have your outfit right here," said Nanny as she pulled out the clothes she had for Dragon Knight. It consisted of a deep blue shirt with a team aqua brooch, a set of booties, a pair of water wings and a innertube, a miniskirt, water balloon panties and a truly gigantic swim diaper that would make it impossible to move in any form but a clumsy and slow waddle."Why did you pick that outfit?" asked Dragon Knight as he looked over some of the other choices of clothes the other civilians got."Because, you're a cute little water baby and all babies need protection, especially if they are going for a swim," said Nanny as she picked up Dragon Knight and fitted him into the diaper first before the rest of the outfits followed one by one with the booties, balloon panties and the mini skirt being put on first, followed by the shirt, the inner tube and the water wings with the brooch being the finishing touch.Dragon Knight clumsily waddled onto the stage where the rest of the civilians were waiting for him. The outfits here consisted of a White Queen styled outfit for the corgi/Drudigon sleepered girl, a witch doctor outfit for the vulture sleepered boy, a Splatoon themed maid outfit with a diaper as big as Dragon Knight's own for the Charizard sleepered boy, a set of halloween themed knight armor with the Tonu sleepered girl, a pilgrim outfit for the turkey sleepered girl, a set of sunflower themed baby clothes made out of candy with candy made butterfly wings for the Lutari sleepered boy, a set of saber tooth tiger zord themed armor for the botanical lion sleepered girl, a peter pan outfit for the road runner sleepered guy, a cowboy outfit for the Wile E Coyotoe sleepered girl, a set of swan themed ballet clothes for the Krookodile sleepered guy and an oversized fur coat and pants that were only held up by an extra thick diaper for the Elecmon sleepered girl.Dragon Knight approached the corgi/Druddigon sleepered girl who smiled at him and said, "Hi! Wanna be fwiends?" she asked in a cheerful tone of voice."Sure, I guess." said Dragon Knight as the music started. and the girl picked him up as the tried to do a dance to the music together. Dragon Knight dimly remembered this was the digimon theme but the lyrics seemed to be more about Nanny than about digimon. "Why's dat?" he thought before he wet and stopped caring about it.The music stopped after around three minutes and Dragon Knight was carried back to his stroller by the Kangaroo plush as she patted his back to help him let out all the gas he had by dancing. Under the soothing influence of the pats, he burped himself to sleep before he was put into the stroller.Tommy looked around eagerly, clearly seeming to wonder what his outfit would be as the Kitsune plush walked up to him next. "Good morning! You look like you're ready to have some fun!" she said cheerfully as she unstrapped the stroller."Yes I nite!" he said before he wondered why he spoke like a Pokemon.The next group of civilians came down from the bleachers with this group consisting of a Wormmon sleepered civilian, a Hawkmon sleepered civilian, a Birdramon sleepered civilian, a beaver sleepered civilian, a Heatmor sleepered civilian, an airplane sleepered civilian, a Durant sleepered civilian, a Lakitu sleepered civilian, a Princess Luna sleepered civilian, a Princess Celestia sleepered civilian and a Manga Ryu Ran sleepered civilianThey were eagerly greeted by the sailor Senshi who went straight to work of dressing them up. "Hm, what to get for you?" asked Nanny as she rummaged through a closet before pulling out several different outfits. "Pick one of these for yourself," she said, gesturing to a pair of overalls, a police officer outfit, a set of dragon themed kamen rider armor and a fireman outfit consisting of a hat, jacket, vest, boots and gloves with a plastic fire axe and whistle to complete the look."Uh Drago Fire type outfit please?" asked Tommy shyly as he blushed in embarrassment for using Pokemon speak again."Sure! Here you go!" said Nanny as she quickly got Tommy dressed as he lined up with the other civilians. The outfits here consisted of a Digimon emperor outfit, a native American outfit, a schoolgirl outfit, a Red Queen outfit, an explorer outfit, a soldier outfit, a team cipher outfit, a Wario outfit, a Princess Luna Gala dress with babyish themes like an extra diaper and a pacifier, a cake themed dress and a mickey mouse themed outfit for the Manga Ryu Ran sleepered civilian.The music started and Tommy instantly recognized it as the original theme for Pallet Town for the Game Boy.He clumsily waddled to the beat his plush tail twitching in time to the music before it stopped and he wet himself feeling very relieved as he was carried to his stroller before falling asleep and snoring slightly.Kat was up next as she clearly looked excited to get her own outfit as she smiled eagerly."Oh my! Another eager baby! I guess you’re all really like getting dressed up, don't you?" said the Kitsune plush with a wide smile as she unclipped Kat out next and handed her over to Nanny"Yar, I hope it's something pirate related. Some of the outfits are too cute for my tastes," said Kat, as the next group of civilians came down and were dressed by the Sailor Senshi."Okay then. Since you have a clear idea of what you want, perhaps this outfit would be to your liking?" asked Nanny as she pulled out a classic pirate captain outfit with a black tricorn hat, a red buttoned jacket with a pink shirt, a set of pink pantaloons, a pair of boots, an eye patch, a plastic hook, a set of fake pistols and cutlass and a life preserver around her neck to complete the look."Argggg, it's perfect!" said Kat fully in character as she put the outfit on before seeing her fellow pageant crew members. They consisted of a Mega Spinda Musketeer, A palkia sleepered boy in a food themed baby clothes and diaper with a bib, a Dewgong sleepered civilian with a Pachirisu themed ballet outfit, a Dialga sleepered civilian with a doctor who outfit from the doctor's fifth incarnation, a Malamar sleepered girl with a set of two big yellow and pink wizard robes, a Grumpig sleepered boy with too small overalls and a striped shirt that highlighted how thick the suit and diaper underneath was, a Kyupimon sleepered girl with a brown and orange sailor fuku, a Triceratops sleepered girl with a Zord costume, a Sheepdog sleepered civilian with an Easter bunny outfit, a Ho-oh sleepered civilian with a santa outfit with a themed winter kimono and a Luxray sleepered civilian with a Sherlock Holmes outfit.The music began and Kat was downright eager for it as the opening bars began. "Do what you want because a pirate is free! You are a Pirate!" she sang along with the group as the eagerly and clumsily danced to it before the music ended."Good job. Now you get to watch as the rest of your friends get dressed," said Nanny as she carried Kat back to her stroller.Nanny was marvelling at how easy this was. With the sheer amount of energy drained from the civilians and sailor senshi, and with the zoned-out state she was inducing in this world of hers, she was having no troubling converting people when there was a large amount of already converted victims around. Sure that would change with the lessons she planned to give but by that point the damage would be done, she noted, as she planted a big sloppy kiss on Kat's lips before the kitsune plush moved to the next victim.Jo looked rather nervous as she looked around, clearly having stage fright about this pageant as the Kitsune plush walked over to her."Are you scared little one?" she asked sweetly."Yes," said Jo timidly."What if you had someone with you while you got dressed up?" suggested the plush with a warm smile."I, uh, yes please..." said Josephine, as she was unhooked from the stroller and the next group of victims came on. They consisted of a Ladybug sleepered civilian, a dragon cow sleepered civilian, a Smeargle sleepered boy, a Hydra sleepered girl, a Patamon sleepered boy, a Palmon sleepered girl, a White and black stallion sleepered guy, a mammoth sleepered girl, a White tiger sleepered boy, a Baihumon sleepered girl, a Kitsune sleepered boy with the last person running up being a fox sleepered civilian with a gigantic fifteen foot long prehensile tail that twitched in time to the beat of the music."Jo, this is Yusei, who will be your partner as you get dressed." said the Kitsune plush as she led the two to Nanny. "Now, just to make this easy for both of you, I have three outfits for each of you and I'll let you pick which one, the other wears. Jo, you'll pick out the one for Yusei first." she said as she held out a sissyish hello kitty maid outfit with numerous ruffles, lace, and petticoats. The other two were a Christmas themed dress and a bard outfit."Uh, I can't decide. Can you do all of them?" asked Jo as she looked incredibly nervous for suggesting such a thing."Sure! Why not?" asked Nanny as the fabric from all three outfits burst apart and formed around Yusei into a gigantic and hard to move in combination of all three outfits with the maid outfit's overall design, the Christmas theme of the Christmas dress and the pantaloons, ruffled collar and lute of the bard outfit."Now, Yusei, which outfit do you think Jo should wear?" asked Nanny as she held up a set of beetle themed armor, a set of frilly baby clothes and a doctor's outfit."The third one is good but it could use some frills," said Yusei politely."Okay. Here you go Jo." said Nanny as she put on the poorly fitting pants of the doctor's outfit, the too big frilly coat as well as a stethoscope around her neck as the group lined up for the pageant with Jo holding Yusei's hand out of nervousness.The group outfits consisted of a strawberry themed magical girl outfit, a painter outfit, a Pac man themed coveralls and shirt, a set of plastic armor clearly themed towards Chibiusa's terriermon suit and princess look, an angel outfit, an outfit similar to Digimon Season 1 Mimi's outfit, a set of bunny themed armor that was clearly a more masculine version of Sailor Bunny's outfit, a caveman themed outfit complete with plastic club and faux lion skin sash, a power rangers outfit reminiscent of Sailor Uranus’s sleeper with a blaster styled after a bouquet of flowers, a team magma outfit, and a set of kitsune themed kamen rider armor styled after the kitsune plush herself.The opening bars of some horror music began and Jo started to wet herself but Yusei's presence got her to focus on him and being cared for long enough to do a waddling waltz with him before the music stopped and Jo was taken to her seat.Yusei clearly wasn't with her and she was nervous that he was about to leave with the kangaroo plush but the kitsune plush calmed her down by saying, "Don't worry, he's just leaving to get his face paint done and since you've been such a good girl, you'll get yours done too quite soon enough," as she lightly tickled her with some of her tails.Roland Williams was next as the Kitsune Plush cooed about how excited he looked for the pageant."Awwwww! You're so eager! I bet you'll love your new outfit!" she said as she unstrapped him."Yeah! I want something extra bouncy and cute to show off this extra cute Kigu suit!" shouted Roland. He briefly wondered why he was so excited by that, before dismissing it.The plush unstrapped him and handed him to Nanny as the next batch of converted civilians came down. They consisted of a Swoobat sleepered girl, a Blue Eyes toon dragon sleepered boy, a Cockatoo sleepered girl, a Tigger sleepered boy, a jabberwock sleepered girl, an Ice Cream Sundae sleepered girl, a Manectric sleepered boy, a Space Shuttle sleepered boy, a Snorunt sleepered girl and a Mega Kangaskhan sleepered boy with a baby suited up just like him."Now, I know just what to get you." said Nanny as Roland eagerly bounced hoping to see his outfit. The outfit in question was a gigantic frilly and pink diaper suit designed to fit around Roland's Kigurumiko sleeper. It came attached with colorful pastel jester outfit modelled after a Sailor Fuku with a plastic wand modelled after Nanny herself."Well? What do you think of it?" asked Nanny politely as Roland gazed upon it."I-I-I-I Love it! Help me get it on Momma!" shouted Roland eagerly as he bounced five feet in the air."Okay. Now hold still so you don't rip it up," said Nanny as she fit on the outfit like she was changing an extra large and complicated diaper.Once Roland was done being dressed, he lined up with the other civilians as he eagerly hopped from foot to foot producing a crinkle each time. The outfits here consisted of a Gator themed dress styled after Tuxedo Mask, a butler outfit styled after sailor Venus, a Sailor Saturn styled showgirl outfit, a set of Kangaroo themed coveralls styled after the Kangaroo plush, an inflatable card soldier outfit, a fish themed romper and hoodie, a Rockstar outfit modelled after Sailor Pluto's sleeper and clothes complete with a rattle themed plastic guitar, a Kimono showing Sailor Mars defeating Tanya, Karato and Chamo herself, a Snowman costume modelled after Sailor Mercury and the pair of Mega Kangaskhan sleepered civilians getting a set of themed gigantic princess dresses styled after Sailor Neptune's sleeper.The music started to play and Roland eagerly hopped to the beat as the Brady Bunch theme played. He was joined by the Tigger and Mega Kangaskhan sleepered civilians as they jumped in time to the beat as they held hands eagerly.The music ended and Roland looked kind of sad to see his new friends go as he was led back to the stroller as the Kitsune plush patted him with her tails to clear out all the gas from the bouncing he had did."Don't worry. I'll make sure you can play with them all again some time later after your lessons," she said kindly as Roland softly burped himself to sleep.Kamen Rider Wing Knight looked curiously around, wondering when his turn would come up."Are you ready my little digital dino? It's your turn next," said the Kitsune plush as she unclipped him from the stroller."I am but I'm kinda hungry. Do you have any bread?" asked Len eagerly as he cocked his head to one side."Sure! I made some special bread for you! I call it Guilmon bread!" said the kitsune plush as she held some fresh and hot bread shaped like the head of Len's sleeper."Goodie!" shouted Len as he eagerly wolfed it down, noticing the warm and toasty peanut butter and nutella inside it as he ate before he waddled off to Nanny on his own as the next group of civilians came.This group consisted of a donkey sleepered boy, a water balloon style blueberry sleepered woman, a Mega Tyranitar sleepered boy, a Pachycephalosaurus sleepered girl, an Auruous sleepered boy, a Stegosaurus sleepered girl and an Ankylosaurus sleepered boy, a Bull sleepered girl, a Alicorn sleepered boy, a Antylamon sleepered girl and a Gengar-sleeper-wearing boy."Now to get you dressed up. Any preference?" asked Nanny as she looked through the toy chest."Not really," said Len plainly as he munched on his third Guilmon bread.Nanny tried several different outfits including a police officer outfit, a Veemon diapersuit, a Pikachu romper and a set of banana pajamas before she settled on what she wanted. It was a set of plastic knight armor with leg guards, a chest and side armor, a helmet, gauntlets and a saddle, reins and bridle in case someone wanted to ride on him like a horse."Good boy! Sorry for making you wait so long," said Nanny."It's okay, you have lots of guilmon bread so I can wait!" Len replied as he eagerly waddled to the stage area with his sleeper noticeably thicker than before. The outfits this time consisted of a Pinocchio themed clothes, a chicken themed romper with feathers and all sorts of berries growing from it, a spectacularly girly and babyish magical girl outfit, a museum guide outfit, an autumn themed romper, a set of plastic Hydreigon themed armor with two plushie heads that seemed quite alive, a Sumo wrestler outfit, a set of diaper material princess clothes with pantaloons, dress, mittens and bonnet with plastic jewelry, a Nanny themed gala dress that would be very hard to move in with all it's size and girth, a yellow waiter outfit that was quite spiky and a Polar Bear and Orca themed winter romper.The music seemed to be made for Len as the lyrics about Guilmon bread and how tasty it was got him in a trance as he slowly waddled to the beat, fantasizing about eating it before the music stopped and the Kitsune plush picked him up."Can I have Guilmon bread as long as I stay here?" he asked with a loud yawn."Sure! As much of it as you can eat, you pudgy baby," said the Kitsune Plush with a smile on her snout as she sat down the ridiculously thick sleeper and sat him in the stroller - not bothering to strap him in, considering how loudly he was snoring as he fell asleep.The kitsune plush noticed that Kamen Rider Thrust was sleeping lightly, and decided to approach him next."Wakey, wakey - it's time for you to get dressed up," she said softly as she tickled him with her tails to wake him up.Thrust instantly perked up eagerly as all of his own nine tails twitched eagerly. The next group of civilians came up with a Kadabra sleepered guy, a Zecora sleepered girl, a Florges sleepered boy, a Lorax sleepered girl, a crane sleepered boy, a rat sleepered girl, a chupacabra sleepered boy, a flying squirrel sleepered girl, a Kabutops sleepered boy, a candle sleepered girl and a clock sleepered boy.Thrust eagerly waddled up to Nanny and fidgeted, clearly wanting to move around and have fun as she looked through several outfits.The ones he saw included a set of plastic samurai armor, a ninja outfit and a set of japanese emperor robes. "Now don't fidget dearie. It makes it harder for me to pick your outfit," said Nanny firmly"Okay. Can whatever you pick next be the outfit I wear?" asked Thrust eagerly."All right," said Nanny as she pulled out the next outfit.The outfit consisted of a pink one piece pajama with hot pink hearts on it, extra thick plush paw booties, a set of cute looking paw mittens that would make it impossible to grab anything, a pink bonnet and a gigantic thick pink diaper with a heart theme as well as nine different wands to be placed in the sleeper's tails."It's cute! Can you put it on please?" asked Thrust as he squirmed – barely noticing as he wet himself from excitement."Okay, here you go!" Nanny cooed as she slipped on the outfit and Thrust waddled off to the stage to see what outfits the other civilians got.The outfits consisted of a Gandalf the grey wizard outfit, a Halloween witch outfit with a talking hat and candy basket, a Disney Prince charming outfit, a colorful outfit inspired by the musical Seussical, a wandering japanese warrior outfit, a mad scientist outfit, a bandito outfit, a scaled winged flowing blue dress with flower ruffles, a too tight secret agent tuxedo, a cute and sissyish pink and white butler outfit and a Disney princess themed dress.The music started and Thrust was grinning as he waddled in time to the fast paced beat, loving the loud trombone and tuba sounds before it stopped."That was fun! I can't wait to see what my fwiends outfits are like!" he said as the Kitsune plush strapped him."Then stay awake and find out you cutie." she told him as she gave a boop on the nose.Ladyborg was the one selected this time as the Kitsune plush unstrapped her from her stroller. "Here you go, you pampered little princess. Time to get you all dressed up in something extra cute and precious," she said as Ladyborg waddled after her. The now-former heroine held her paw while sucking her sleeper's thumb, as entrapped by the strange atmosphere of the place as any of them.The next bit of civilians came along with this set now being a Barney sleepered girl, a penguin sleepered boy, a snowman sleepered girl, a Big bird sleepered guy, a Raggedy Ann sleepered girl, a Eeposaurus boy, a Arbok sleepered girl, a manta ray sleepered boy, a Totodile sleepered girl, a Mismagius sleepered boy, and a T rex sleepered girl."I know just what to get you," said Nanny with a chuckle as she pulled out the outfit of choice. It was a deep purple prince onesie with a thick inner diaper, a set of plastic princess jewelry with a tiara, bracelets and rings, a mint green and black dress to go on top and a set of bows to be tied on to Ladyborg's legs, arms, horns and tail."It's so pwetty and cute! I love it! It's the perfect addition to my hoard!" she said with glee. Her mind tried to recognize why this sounded wrong, but couldn't fix on anything specific."Okay, let me fit this on you and tomorrow you can have all the things you want for your hoard," Nanny coaxed as she strapped on the outfit with Ladyborg eagerly watching it happen.She waddled up to the staging area where the next outfits were a set of Paw Patrol themed coveralls and backpack, a Backyardigans themed overalls, a set of Nightmare Moon themed baby clothes, a set of overalls, shirt and backpack themed towards the Big Bird sleepered civilian, a blue purple and yellow dress with a frilled and horned dinosaur wig, clown mittens and booties, a Power Rangers outfit that made her frown – but not quite the same, as it had the Pokemon elemental symbols shown as part of it.There was also a sailor fuku and wand set themed after various Digimon like Lalamon and Falcomon, a Kamen Rider outfit styled after a Yugioh Pharaoh, a set of footies pajamas and baby clothes themed after the Sailor Senshi, a Halloween themed fairy god mother outfit, an overly girly, sissyish and babyish princess dress with an extra thick diaper with a similar princess theme.The music started and Ladyborg heard the sound of violins in the background as she danced with the T-rex princess sleepered civilian in a waltz that resembled the two cuddling each other while moving around.The music stopped after five minutes, after which Ladyborg and the other civilians had wet themselves a few times, and then the Kitsune plush carried Ladyborg back to her stroller while patting her back to dislodge any gas from the dancing."You're such a cute little girl. You and the others will make fine additions to Momma Nanny's family," she said as Ladyborg smiled dimly at this compliment before being strapped in to her stroller.Rocky was up next, head swaying as both his unfocused eyes tried to lock onto all of the dressed up people there."Okay, dearie! It's your turn next!" said the Kitsune plushie as she unclipped the stroller."Whoope!" Rocky cried, before trying to climb down himself – and tripped and fell over his own plush hooves and wet himself from the shock of the impact."Come on now. We can't keep the others waiting," said the Kitsune plush. Rocky trotted on all fours for better balance as the next set of civilians came up. They consisted of a shadow Lugia sleepered boy, a Lugia sleepered girl, a Blissey sleepered boy, a Nidoking sleepered girl, a Nidoqueen sleepered guy, a Kokatorimon sleepered girl, a Whimsicott sleepered boy, a Tails sleepered girl, a palm tree sleepered boy with several colorful plush coconuts, a Galvantula sleepered girl and a Flareon sleepered boy.Rocky sat down on his haunches as Nanny looked him over. "I should get you something tumble resistant, if you're such a clumsy baby, but it needs to be properly cute. Hmmmm... how about this one?" she asked as she pulled out her selection - ?a padded muffin themed dress with a muffin themed crown, a plush filled muffin themed front, a muffin print barding for his sides, hoof guards and a back half with extra thick muffin print padding and a long flowing dress."It's cute! I can't wait to wear it!" said Rocky, smiling. He stood still as Nanny fit on the dress before trotting over and seeing who his dance partners were.The outfits his partners wore were a team rocket outfit, a Nurse Joy outfit complete with a wig and an officer Jenny outfit with a similar themed wig, a pink and white princess outfit with a crown print diaper and flowing blonde wig to go with a prince outfit with a red ermine cape, a crown print diaper and a flowing black wig, a farmer outfit, a frilly southern bell dress, a doctor Robotnik outfit, a lifeguard outfit with a swim diaper, a set of Sylveon themed baby clothes and Riolu styled magical girl outfit.The opening bars of the My Little Pony theme came on and Rocky did an eager loop-de-loop in excitement. He flew around with a near-total lack of coordination, zooming just over the heads of other dancers, and somehow danced to the beat before crashing as it ended."I just don't know what wrong..." he said as the Kitsune plush patted his back to get rid of gas."Don't worry, you get to watch the rest of your friends get dressed up, so you don't have to worry about taking those nasty tumbles." said the plush as she tickled him slightly. “You'll be all safe.”"Okay! I would like some muffins to eat though," said Rocky."Sure! Here you go!" the plush replied, as she gave Rocky a set of blueberry muffins to eat for himself.While Rocky was getting his muffins, Kamen Rider Incisor looked around with eager excitement – wondering what his outfit would be. The excitement made him fidget, making his sleeper-plush trunk and ears flap around excitedly."Your turn next dearie. Are you a good boy?" asked the Kitsune plushie as she unstrapped him."Yes I am!" Richie replied, loud enough for it to be a shout, as he was led off to the dressing area at the same time as the next group of civilians came along.They consisted of a Zapdos sleepered girl, a Moltres sleepered boy, a Glaceon themed girl, a ToyAgumon sleepered guy, a Mega Aggron sleepered girl, a Tentomon sleepered boy, a Leafeon sleepered girl, a Vaporeon sleepered boy, an Umbreon sleepered girl, a Jolteon sleepered boy, and a Mega Alakazam sleepered girl."Now what to get for you? Any suggestions?" asked Nanny as she looked through the drawers of clothes."I would like something like a balloon and like my armor please," said Richie in a sing song tone."Well, if that's the case... I have just the outfit for you!" announced Nanny with a smile as she pulled out a deflated purple and yellow rhino costume with a kamen rider musketeer outfit with animal paw themed booties and mittens, fruit themed pantaloons and feathered hat along with desert themed overalls, rapier and stockings."It's perfect! Put it on! Put it on!" said Richie eagerly."Okay. Hold still, dearie." said Nanny as the inflated Rhino costume was put on first before it was inflated to its full wobbling girth before the faux kamen rider outfit was put on."Thanks momma!" said Incisor as he bound to the dancing area and saw what the next group of dancers was like.They consisted of a yellow spiky themed dress styled after the Zapdos sleeper, a set of themed overalls for the Moltres sleeper, a summer themed romper, a kamen rider themed sailor fuku, a kamen rider outfit styled after a sailor fuku, a Pokemon ranger outfit, an Australian outback themed outfit, a tsunami themed kimono, a team Snagem outfit, a Mirror B outfit complete with the infamous Pokeball afro and a strange mailman/wizard outfit.The music then started and Incisor eagerly recognized it as the Barney theme song as he sang and dance to the beat before it ended."Good job. You deserve a drink and a snack," said the Kangaroo plush as she gave Richie a cupcake and a warm bottle of milk that he guzzled eagerly before she strapped him in his stroller.Adam was chosen next as he looked around, finding himself fascinated by the whole event."You're next. I'm sure momma Nanny will get a pretty outfit for a special girl like you!" said the Kitsune plush as Adam was unstrapped."I'm not a girlie." he said, his heart not really in it,as the next set of civilians came on with a Buizel sleepered boy, a Mega Lopunny sleepered girl, a Mega Ampharos sleepered guy, an overstuffed Delphox sleepered girl, a Vandagyre neopet sleepered boy, a King Dedede sleepered girl, a Larvitar sleepered boy, a Gabumon sleepered girl, a Pyroar sleepered boy, and a Queen Chrysalis sleepered girl."Now, what to get you? You do seem like a nice girl so you should get a cute outfit," said Nanny as she held up three outfits. "Pick one of these please."Adam's choice wavered between the my little pony princess outfit, the pink and white schoolgirl outfit with too big glasses clothes and a rather cute little pilot outfit with a furred jacket, too tight pants, a Ascot and goggles as his mind dimly wanted something manly."The pilot outfit, please," he said finally after several minutes of internal debate."Okay! Here you go cutie!" said Nanny as she got on the outfit and Adam waddled up.The outfits of the others here consisted of a colorful and sissyish Lolita clown outfit, a kamen rider outfit with a grapefruit and shiba inu theme, a plastic Iron Man costume, a Dark Magician girl outfit, a ballerina themed princess outfit, an Ivysaur themed king outfit, a cute little sailor suit, a plush winter romper clearly modelled after a Kigurumiko suit, a Lion zord outfit and a Shoutmon diaper suit that was incredibly padded and thick.The music started and Adam slowly waddled and danced to the slow and lilting tune as a slight hissing noise could be heard from him as an ever widening stain appeared on his waist.After several minutes, long enough for him to finish, the music stopped and the Kangaroo plush picked him up."Whoopsie! Looks like you need a change!" she said as she pressed the diaper and an audible squish could be heard."Yeah. Am I a bad girlie for wetting?" asked Adam with a sniffle."Not at all! Just let me get you changed and you'll be good and clean again," said the plush as she changed Adam's diaper and strapped him in before giving a peck on the cheek.Josh looked rather nervous about this whole affair as the kitsune plushie went up to him next. "Okay, you're up ya cutie," she said as she unstrapped him."But I don't like be looked at. Moooooo..." said Josh as he blushed shyly."Don't worry. I'll make sure, you're okay," the plushie told him as she slowly walked Josh to Nanny with several more people coming up at about the same time.They consisted of a Quilava sleepered boy, a Kacheek sleepered girl with patchwork fur, a Raccoon sleepered boy, a Mightyena sleepered girl, a Mega Salamence sleepered boy, a Koopa paratroopa sleepered girl, a Snover sleepered boy, a Delibird sleepered girl, a squid sleepered boy, a Cubchoo sleepered girl, and a Foxy the pirate fox sleepered boy."Don't worry. I got just the outfit for you," said Nanny as Josh mooed nervously – clearly embarrassed by this nervous tic – before he saw the outfit. It was a baby blue dress with pillowy panties and pantaloons, a set of overalls, a bonnet, fingerless gloves, stockings and sleeves and a large shepherd's crook."It's cute. Thank you, mooma," said Josh as he blushed sweetly.Nanny smiled broadly as she put on the outfit and Josh waddled up to the stage.The outfits here consisted of a circus ringmaster clown styled after Pinkie Jupiter, a teddy bear overalls and onesie, toy print mittened pajamas, and a themed diaper, a lumberjack outfit, a set of colorful hippo themed armor, a ring themed set of armor, an elf wizard outfit, a Santa smurf outfit, a watermelon themed one piece pajama, a set of duskull themed baby clothes and a pirate outfit done in blue and yellow.The music started with it's slow and peaceful tune causing Josh's eyes to glaze over as he thought, "I must heard my flock for momma."The thought repeated over and over, and before long Josh was convinced. She moved around to corral the group in a waddling dance before it ended and the group dispersed."Good job. You're really good at herding," said the Kangaroo plush as she took back a smiling Josh to his stroller and strapped him though not before giving him several helpings of Guilmon bread to eat to plump him up.Karato was the next one chosen as the Kitsune plush unstrapped him. "Can I do da dance first?" he asked as he waddled a little on his feet."We have to get you dressed first but we'll make sure to give you something dancing related," said the Kitsune plush.Karato eagerly waddled over to Nanny as the next group of civilians waddled up to the Sailor Senshi who dressed them up with relish."I have just the outfit you want," said Nanny, as she pulled out the outfit.It was a tight spandex leotard done in baby blue with a gigantic tutu, frilly sleeves, ballet shoes and a wand with a long trailing streamer behind it with the over all outfit having a swan theme."It's... perfect," said Karato softly as Nanny put it on.Karato waddled up and saw his dance partners. They consisted of a Swan sleepered civilian with a princess outfit themed outfit styled after a swan like ballerina much like Karato's, a Mudkip sleepered boy with a paper boy outfit, a Giraffe sleepered girl with a Marilyn Monroe outfit with a too short skirt that didn’t hide her pink diaper, a Toucan sleepered boy with a samba dancer outfit made out of inflated fruit, a Balloon animal sleepered girl with a Harlequin outfit, a Sunflordramon sleepered boy with a Princess Cadence outfit, a Toxicroak sleepered girl with an Aztec priest outfit... there was a Scolipede sleeped boy with a pi?ata themed dress, a Furret sleepered girl with a painter outfit and a truly gigantic tail covered in paint, a mushroom sleepered boy with a revolutionary war soldier outfit and a Greninja sleepered girl with a monster high sailor Fuku.The music started and Karato clumsily and cutely danced to the beat with the Swan sleepered civilian. The duo formed a duet, both spinning around together before the music came to an end. They hugged and kissed briefly before they waddled off, with Karato wearing a dazed expression on his face as he was strapped back into his stroller.Kamen Rider Torque eagerly made various Goodra pokespeak noises as he got visibly excited."Your turn! Are you ready to be dressed up?" asked the Kitsune plush."Goodra!" (Translation: "Yep!)" shouted Torque as he waddled up to Nanny as the next tranche of civilians came to Nanny."Okay, I got just the cutest little outfit for you," said Nanny as she ignored how visibly Torque was fidgeting from excitement as she pulled it out.It was a Latios costume that looked more like a gigantic onesie with mittens and booties themed towards the costume. It was clearly made with both plush and padding, and fairly thick to withstand heavy tumbles and wettings.Nanny held it out. "Well, what do you think of it?" she asked.Torque responded with, "Goo goodra" (Translation:" It's cute but it should have lots of frills and lace.")"Okay, I understand!" said Nanny as the costume shifted to be thick enough where moving would be very difficult and gained numerous red and blue lace frills, particularly around the waist area. It was strapped onto Torque who cooed eagerly as he clumsily waddled up to the stage accompanied by the next set of civilians.They consisted of an Inspiration Manifestation Rarity Alicorn sleepered girl with a gigantic princess dress adorned with a kaleidoscope of colours, themed after all of the sleeper senshi, the kitsune and kangaroo plushes and Nanny herself, a Dalmatian sleepered boy with a farmer pup outfit, a MetalGarurumon sleepered girl with a construction pup outfit, an Ivysaur sleepered boy with a fairy godmother outfit, a Chakmon sleepered girl with a Paw Patrol onesie and backpack, a Shuckle sleepered boy with a Pokemon and Neopet berry themed bush costume, a Kricketune sleepered girl with a musician outfit, a Gyroid sleepered boy with a griffon themed romper, complete with wings and a hood, a Drillroid sleepered girl with a Wyvern themed armor, a Meganium sleepered boy with a hula dancer outfit, and a Grovyle sleepered girl with a neko girl outfit.The fast paced music of the Paw Patrol theme song started and, mind thoroughly zonked, Torque clumsily waddled to the beat as he hugged the nearest civilian he could, not caring as slime oozed out of his sleeper.It ended after about a minute and the Kitsune plush noticed the slime oozing out of his outfit, staining it a multitude of colours."You look pretty! Would you like some Guilmon bread?" she asked as she held up a full tray of twenty pieces of said bread."Goodra!" (Translation: "Yes, please!") responded Torque as he guzzled them down and he become ridiculously plump and the outfit changed to a veritable rainbow of colours layered with frills upon frills, as he waddled off and sat down on the floor - now far too big and plump to sit in the stroller without breaking it.Chamo's eyes were bright, letting out slight pants as he looked eagerly around at all the outfits – finding each one more interesting than the last."And you're up puppy! Here's a dog treat for being so patient," said the Kitsune plush as she unstrapped Chamo and gave him the dog treat as he waddled while eagerly chomping on it.The next group of civilians came with this group consisting of a Combusken sleepered girl, a Tepig sleepered boy, a pelican sleepered girl, a dragon Yoshi sleepered boy, a tiger sleepered girl, a Stay Puft marshmallow man sleepered guy, a Disney Pluto sleepered girl, a Corsola sleepered boy, a mesoamerican Draconequi sleepered girl, a Chesnaught sleepered guy and a polka-dotted demon sleepered girl."Now what to get you? Something cute and heroic I believe," said Nanny as she then held up three outfits for Chamo to choose. The first one was a paw patrol construction pup uniform complete with a themed paw pack, the second was a robin hood themed outfit with a toy bow and the third one was a buzz lightyear space ranger outfit."Can I have the second with the others' kibble please?" he asked, panting at the world kibble"Sure!" said Nanny as she strapped on the robin hood's outfit complete with it's green shirt, feathered hat, toy bow, boots, gloves and pantaloons. The next bits came in the form of a green pup pack with a working jet pack and quiver with the bow becoming a toy laser bow complete with light and sound effects."Thanks Momma!" said Chamo as he gave Nanny a hug and waddled up to the stage and saw the next group of civilian's outfits.They consisted of a karate gi, a set of baby swim clothes, a Disney afternoon themed onesie, a Nintendo themed romper and diaper, a ghostbuster themed outfit, a ghostbuster outfit barely fitting over the bulk of the Stay Puft Marshmallow man sleepered civilian, a Nanny themed romper suit with numerous frills and a harness, a Dark Magician outfit, a My little pony shirt and diaper, a set of shiny plastic heroic knight armor done up in silver and gold, and a sailor fuku laid over a set of kamen rider armor.The music started and Chamo quickly tried to keep up with the beat – not bothering to pay attention to the lyrics.Had he did so he would have noticed they were making fun of the heroic mentors of the various heroes in silly and childish ways, as just another link in the chain.The music stopped and Chamo stopped, panting heavily after dancing in such a heavy sleeper. "Here you go. Have some water," said the Kangaroo plush as she pushed a gigantic dog bowl filled with cold clean water. Chamo lapped it up eagerly before waddling over to his stroller and curling up beside it as he fell asleep, snoring and twitching in his dreams.Kamen Rider Strike looked curiously around at all the pretty outfits everyone got."Are you ready? You're up next," said the Kitsune plushie as she unstrapped him from the stroller."Yeah! I want an extra cute set of people clothes too!" he said, before he wondered just why he said that.He was a human right?He discarded that thought. He was just a new kind of digimon. Sleeper Calumon."What kind of outfit will I get? After all, all the digimon here got some kind of cute outfit?" asked Strike as he waddled up to Nanny. "I've already picked out yours," she said as she held up the cute little pink flower made fairy outfit. It was quite frilly with a set of faux butterfly wings and antenna complete with a sailor senshi wand for Strike to wave around."Yay! It's so cute! Put it on please!" said Strike as he eagerly danced a bit before Nanny strapped it on. "Sleeper Calumon digivolved to Fairy Plushie Calumon!" shouted Strike eagerly as he struck a pose and waddled up to the stage area.The plushie 'digimon' here consisted of an owl sleepered human in a santa outfit, a Teddy Bear sleepered human in a Winnie the Pooh outfit, a Teletubbie sleepered human in a mittened onesie, a sloth sleepered human in a jungle explorer outfit, a Rampardos sleepered human with extra thick armor and a saddle perfect for riding on, a Electivire sleepered human with scary demon themed clothes and a wrestling belt, a feathery raptor sleepered human with a feathery show girl outfit, a Raichu sleepered human with cute pokemon and digimon themed baby clothes, a Froslass sleepered human with a Disney Maleficent outfit, a Trevenant sleepered human with a snow white outfit and a Chimchar sleepered human with a Empoleon themed waiter outfit.The music started, though Strike was disappointed it wasn't a digimon related music bit. He still danced to the medium pace waltz, but he didn't like it much.“Man, I wish I could make this nice humans digivolve so they'd be extra cute and cuddly,” he thought sadly as the music stopped and he waddled off."Don't be sad, Momma Nanny will teach you how to digivolve humans as part of your lessons after this," said the Kangaroo plush as she patted him on the back."Okay, sounds great," said Strike with a small smile.It never occurred to him how she knew to say that.Kamen Rider Sting looked around at the various outfits the other babies had got for their own hoards. To say he was jealous would be an understatement as he saw the Kitsune plush walk up to him next."Sorry for making you wait so long. You're getting your outfit next," she said as she unstrapped him and he eagerly waddled after her, greedily think of the sorts of things his hoard could hold as he barely noticed the next group come up."Now, what to get you?" asked Nanny, before she noticed Sting wetting himself."Never mind. I already have it picked out," she said, as she revealed the outfit. It was a gigantic rose petal themed dress with flower wristbands and gloves that prevented him from using his hands, a gigantic neck flower as a collar and a flower themed diaper covering."It's the perfect first item for my hoard! Can me and my mate have a hoard of our own to sleep on while this happens?" he asked eagerly, as his pupils became slitted."Sure. Kanga will take care of that while you do your dance," said Nanny as the Kanga plush went off stage.The next group of potential hoard stealers came up and consisted of a Carebear sleepered human with a themed apron, a Sneasel sleepered human with a team rocket outfit, a Gigalith sleepered civilian with a miner outfit, a Excadrill sleepered human with a carnival barker outfit, Musharna sleepered human with a surprisingly cute dragon hooded pajama that fooled Sting for a second, a zebra sleepered human with a soccer outfit, a Hello Kitty sleepered human with a rose themed apron and dress, a Mega Heracross sleepered human with a wrestler outfit, a Mega Pinsir sleepered civilian with a fry cook outfit, a Sandslash sleepered human with a Nanny themed t-shirt and diaper, and a Queen Sectonia sleepered human with a bee themed dress and numerous pieces of plastic jewellery that inflamed Sting's new avarice.The fast paced Orchestral piece started and Sting managed to take to the air, eyeing all of the cute costumes and babyish items that could belong to him and his mate Ladyborg... before he wondered why that was odd, as the music stopped, and swooped down just as the Kangaroo plush came back, her pouch bulging from all of the plastic jewellery and baby toys held within it."Here you go! I'll spread it out for you and you and your friend can lie on it so long as you behave," said the Kangaroo plush as she spread out the items by pulling out her pouch as Ladyborg and Sting lay on it, causing some of the items to stick to their sleepers."Hey, I tink I just wet myself," said Ladyborg as she blushed and giggled slightly."Hey, I tink I did it to," said Sting as he giggled dumbly before the two heroes kissed each other and began counting their hoard. “I wuv you so much,” said Ladyborg as she kissed Sting on the cheek as she shook a rattle. “I wuv you too,” said said Sting as he did the same before he put a pacifier in his mouth and started sucking it.Lightningborg looked around as his wings twitched and his plush horn glowed."Okay, you little princess, it's your turn," said the kitsune Plush, as she unstrapped him from the stroller and he waddled out."Hoo, dogey, this round up sure looks like fun," said Lightningborg. He wondered, for a moment, why hed said that, before the next bit of civilians came up.They consisted of a Big Macintosh sleepered guy, a Stoutland sleepered girl, a Jellicent sleepered guy, a Pupitar sleepered girl, a Pumpkaboo sleepered boy, a dragonfly sleepered girl, a Zangoose sleepered boy, a Togekiss sleepered girl, a Jirachi sleepered boy, a girl in a blue's clues styled sleeper, and a Swiper sleepered girl."Now I know just what to get for a cute baby like you," said Nanny as she rummaged through a closet."Who are you calling a baby?" asked Lightningborg, before he was offered an apple. Taking it, he bit into it, ignoring the comment.The outfit Nanny chose was a gigantic cowboy themed gala dress like the one he wore previously at the ball with Pwincess Pudypants but much larger and harder to move in."Aw, shucks. You're treating me like a princess," said Lightningborg as the outfit was fitted on and the next tranche of outfits were revealed.They consisted of an alicorn princess outfit with an apple pie theme for the big macintrosh civilian, a paw patrol search and rescue outfit, a construction working outfit, a crossing guard outfit that looked vaguely similar to an orange and white barrel at the waist, a halloween witch outfit with a plush cat, a set of neopet themed coveralls, a Rhyhorn costume with a prince outfit, a pharaoh mummy outfit complete with bandages and regalia, a set of construction worker pyjama’s, a Dora the explorer outfit and a Elmo themed dance outfit.Lightningborg walked up to the big Macintosh sleepered civilian, and his eyes unfocused. "Hiya, big brother. Fancy meeting you around these parts.”"Eeyup. Same to you," said the civilian as the music started and they danced together in the air to the Cowboy themed princess music, clearly styled to fit Lightningborg's sleeper. The music ended and Lightningborg waddled back to his stroller, sad he wouldn't be seeing Big Macintosh again for some time as he went to sleep.Tanya was up next and clearly unfocused, not really all there, with her attention wandering around the room."Okay, you're up next dearie. How do you feel?" asked the Kitsune plush as she unstrapped Tanya."I'm fine Kitsune San," she said as she bowed respectfully as the next group of people came up for their outfits. This group consisted of a Usual neopet sleepered boy, a Ruki neopet sleepered girl, a clownfish sleepered boy, a Flygon sleepered girl, ?a Growlmon sleepered boy, a fluffy ram sleepered girl, a Kyubimon sleepered guy, a Vulpix sleepered girl, a comically thick Ninetails sleepered guy, a Goomba sleepered girl and a King Sombra sleepered guy."Now, what to get you... any particular suggestions?" asked Nanny as she went through several outfits include a kimono detailing her version of crystal Tokyo, another kimono showing a group of the Sailor Senshi in My Little Pony sleepers and a set of samurai armour before discarding them."Not really. It is wrong to question one's elders," said Tanya as she eyed Kamen Rider Sting's and Ladyborg's hoard for a bit before the outfit was chosen.It was a Latias costume with a frilly behind and a set of open toed booties and mittens for herself to wear."It looks good. Put it on please," said Tanya politely.The outfit was strapped on and she waddled off. The next group of outfits consisted of a Lady in waiting outfit, a marching band outfit with a baton, a one piece swimsuit and swim diaper, a very prim and proper pink and black lolita dress that wouldn't look out of place on a business woman, a digimon onesie with a Gallantmon plushie, a football player outfit, an outfit styled after Rika Nonaka's clothes, a set of Groudon themed battle armor, a set of samurai armor, a archaeologist outfit, and a set of themed armour for the King Sombra sleepered civilian.The music started and Tanya gracefully waddled to the beat of the orchestral version of the Sailor Moon theme song, dancing more sedately than many of the others but still enjoying herself, before it stopped and she yawned loudly, clearly sleepy.She waddled over to Kamen Rider Sting and Ladyborg's hoard pile and said, "Can I nap here pwease?" she said softly and sweetly."Sure! It's always nice to meet a fellow dragon!" said Ladyborg as her tail and wings twitched. Tanya smiled and went to sleep on the hoard, not seeming to notice her body was shifting to be more longer and quadrupedal as she slept on the hoard - with similar changes happening to Ladyborg and Sting.Billy was up next and clearly excited if the wide eyed grin was any indication."Here you go ya cutie! You're up!" said the Kitsune plush as she unstrapped Billy."Yay! I hope to get my cutie mark for this!" he said. He dimly wondered why that sounded wrong before dismissing that notion.The next group of civilians came up with the group consisting of a carrot sleepered boy, a Magmar sleepered girl, a Cresselia sleepered boy, a Persiamon sleepered girl, a Flamedramon sleepered boy, a camel sleepered girl, a Sealeo sleepered girl, a Houndour sleepered boy, a Stantler sleepered girl, a Quagsire sleepered boy and a Veemon sleepered girl."Now what to get you? Anything in particular you have in mind?" asked Nanny as she noted how eager Billy looked."I want something that marks me as a member of the Cutie Mark Crusader Rangers please!" said Billy as he spun around eagerly."Okay, then I think this shall fit the bill perfectly," said Nanny as she pulled out the outfit. It was a Cutie Mark Crusader cape with a themed power morpher, diaper, a set of red and blue pillowy pantaloons, a tutu and a pair of streaming wands for Billy to wave around."It's perfect!" shouted Billy as he curled into a ball and bounced from excitement before he managed to unroll himself and Nanny strapped the outfit on.He waddled off eagerly and noted the various outfits and what kind of cutie marks would go best with them. "For the carrot chef sleepered human, a cooking pot filled with vegetables would work best while for the Magmar civilian in a set of frothy coffee themed coveralls, a coffee mug cutie mark would be best. For the Cresselia civilian in the beautiful flowing nightgown, a crescent moon with a sleeping baby seemed like the obvious choice while the Princess Jasmine Persiamon sleepered civilian should get a genie themed cutie mark. The Flamedramon sleepered civilian with the Kingdom Hearts Sora outfit should get a keyblade themed cutie mark while the camel sleepered civilian with the spiky themed dragon fruit armor should get a pair of crossed swords over a dragon fruit for his cutie mark. For the Sealeo sleepered civilian in a pair of Electabuzz themed romper and diaper, a live wire wrapped around a beach ball seemed obvious and for the Houndour schoolboy, a schoolbook cutie mark seemed best. A set of reindeer pulling a sleigh for the Miss Claus Stantler civilian and sewing needle next to a baby bottle for the Quagsire sleepered civilian due to how cute his pink and white frilly baby clothes looked on him. An extra cute blue diaper seemed like the best choice for the diaper suited Veemon sleepered human," he thought as he sighed at not knowing what his cutie mark was.The music began, and he recognized it – squealing with delight, before dancing and pirouetting to the beat of the Cutie Mark Crusaders theme. As he finished he felt a slight tingling on his thigh. "Could it be?" he thought as he spared a glance down there. He saw a few streaks of color on both thighs of his sleeper, an indication of what his cutie mark would be if he stayed with Momma Nanny."Good job! Stay with the lessons long enough and you should find out your cutie mark soon enough!" said the kitsune plush as she patted Billy on the back."YAY!" shouted Billy as he skipped back to his stroller and strapped himself in, eagerly hoping to see what the future would hold.Dragonborg looked around, curious to see what outfit he would get as the Kitsune plush walked up to him next."Okay, my crinkle dragon. After we get you dressed up, you get to sleep on the hoard if you've been a good girl," she said as she unstrapped."Of course I shall be good. I am related to the famous Mommamaxirimaxcrinkles after all," said Dragonborg. He wondered why he said that and how he knew that name, but discarded it as he waddled off on all fours, finding it very comforting and easier to do than walking on two.The next group of civilians that came up consisted of a Spyro the Dragon sleepered boy, a Lilligant sleepered girl, a Leavanny sleepered boy, a Harpymon sleepered girl, a Shark sleepered boy, a Stitch sleepered girl, a pug sleepered boy, a MLP Shady sleepered girl with a skeleton costume, a Crash Bandicoot sleepered guy, a Chao sleepered girl and a cupcake sleepered boy."Now, I have just the perfect outfit for you to wear," said Nanny as she rummaged through the now lightly filled trunk before she pulled it out.The outfit in question was a truly gigantic frilly and sissyish gothic lolita maid outfit with some of the features including a bonnet, pillowy panties, pillowy pantaloons, pillowy bloomers leggings, high heels, fingerless gloves to show off his claws, a gigantic set of too high petticoats that wouldn't hide what was underneath it, a parasol, a purse filled with babyish things, a feather duster and numerous bows and frills all throughout the entirety of the diaper maid outfit."All this for my hoard? You really shouldn't have," said Dragonborg as a teardrop went down his face from excitement."Of course it's for you silly. Now put it on and you can go do your dance," said Nanny with a warm smile.Dragonborg quickly put on the outfit and walked off eagerly wondering what the other babies had gotten for themselves.The outfits here consisted of a set of diaper material armour, a southern belle dress, an ordinary Nanny dress, a diaper material princess outfit, a matching diaper material prince outfit, a astronaut outfit complete with helmet, a Finn the human outfit from adventure time, a skin tight skeleton costume that really showed off the wearer's diaper, a surfer outfit with a swim diaper instead of swim trunks and a surfboard featuring Sailor Uranus, a dress styled after sonic the hedgehog, and a fruit and desert themed maid outfit.The music started and Dragonborg relaxed at the slow and soothing orchestral piece as he waddled along with the rest of the civilians – wetting together, before the music stopped and he walked off to his hoard to share with his fellow dragons, Sting, Ladyborg and Tanya.Do you think my momma will come and visit?" he asked Nanny."Of course she will! I think you may see her during your lessons," said Nanny with a warm smile."Okay," yawned Dragonborg. He yawned again, lay down, and fell asleep.Fireborg panted and eagerly looked around, wondering when it would be his turn."Okay, you're up next. Sorry for the long wait, we got lots of eager babies here," said the Kitsune plush as she unstrapped him from the stroller."It's okay. You got a lot of pups to take care of. I hope I can help too once you train me and my pack," said Dragonborg cheerfully, as he waddled up to Nanny and the next group of civilians came along.They consisted of a Xatu sleepered boy, a buffalo sleepered girl, a Quetzalcoatl sleepered boy, a Garudamon sleepered girl, a Dynasmon sleepered boy, a robot dog sleepered girl, an Armaldo sleepered boy, a Pluse sleepered girl, a Minum sleepered boy, a Ludicolo sleepered girl and a Crawdaunt sleepered boy."Now, any particularly suggestions on what you want?" asked Nanny as Fireborg stood still."Something that... shows I can protect others," he decided, his heroic instincts still mostly intact despite all of what happened to him and his fellow heroes."Then I got just the thing," said Nanny as she pulled out a police officer outfit, with a cap, baggy shirt, a pair of too tight pants that showed off his padded rear and a set of handcuffs, a slingshot and a flashlight."It's cute. Put it on pwease," asked Fireborg.Nanny got the outfit on and he waddled off to see who he would dance with today. The outfits here consisted of an Aztec warrior outfit, a native American outfit, a Spanish soldier outfit, a Kingdom Hearts Sora outfit with Digimon's Sora's infamous blue helmet as part of the look, a Beefeater outfit, a set of fossil themed armor, a Pokeball print onesie and diaper, a blue cheerleading outfit with matching pom poms, a red cheerleading outfit with matching pom poms, a Mariachi player outfit and a Team Plasma outfit."Hm, lots of fellow sleepermon out today. That's a good sign," thought Fireborg as he danced to the beat of the pokemon theme song, dimly aware it was now about sleeper's and diapers and loving every bit of it.Before long, the music stopped, and he waddled off to his stroller and got into it, unbidden, knowing he should be a good boy for his trainers.Kamen Rider Axe was up next and his tail eagerly swished around, wondering what kind of outfit he would get."Okay, you're up, the rest of your friends shouldn't have to wait too long," said the Kitsune plush as she noted how few of the heroes weren't already ensconced in outfits."That's good! Playing dress up is fun!" said Axe as he waddled off and the next group of civilians came on."Now, since you're so eager, I've got four outfits for you to pick," said Nanny as she held up each one.They consisted of a set of Japanese emperor's robes and headdress, a set of oriental dragon themed samurai armor, a kimono that pictured Sailor Jupiter's circus and people including Axe's group and various civilians having fun in sleepers and a gigantic pink dress with huge pantaloons, booties and mittens that slowly shifted from pink to blue to green and back again with a huge blonde wig and tiara to complete the look."I'll take the last one but can I wear the other's later?" asked Axe shyly."Sure! That's fine by me," said Nanny as she put on the dress and Axe waddled off noting what outfits the other babies had gotten for themselves during their dress up time. They consisted of a spaceship sleepered guy with MLP plastic armor, a lobster sleepered girl with building block themed knight armor, a pterodactyl sleepered boy with Jurassic park themed overalls and shirt, an eagle sleepered girl with ancient Egypt themed clothes, a Sawsbuck sleepered boy with horns and a romper that shifted from a spring theme all the way to a winter theme and back again, a whale sleepered girl with a balloon dress, a banana sleepered guy with a fruit themed baseball player outfit, a toon cow sleepered girl with a farmer outfit that showed off her gigantic soda filled udders, a Diamond Tiara sleepered boy with a gigantic princess dress, a Silver Spoon sleepered girl with a modest diaper material sailor fuku and a feather duster instead of a wand, and a Crux sleepered boy with a truly gigantic sissy diaper maid princess outfit with a gigantic extra diaper.The music started and Axe eagerly waddled to the japanese orchestra piece, then pouted as it stopped and he yawned a bit."Don't worry dearie, you can play dress up all you want after your lessons," said Nanny as she strapped in a sleepy Axe herself.Kamen Rider Spear was up next.All of his sleeper heads and his own eagerly looked around, wondering when it would be their turn ?- then the Kitsune plush came over, and gave him a boop on the nose as she unstrapped him."I'm not to sure about dis," said Spear shyly as the next group of civilians came up."Don't you want to look pretty like all the other babies?" asked the snake head of the plush."Yeah, but I don't want something girly," said Spear as he shifted nervously on both feet paws."Relax, your momma will take care of everything,” said the goat head, as the hero unconsciously walked over to Nanny.The outfit in question was a blue and yellow superhero costume with a red cape, domino mask, pantaloons, a Baby Boy logo and a gigantic black wig that looked like a mane."We like it. Can we have it?" asked Spear, before realizing he forgot to say please."Sure you can!" said Nanny, as she put the outfit on, and Spear waddled up to see the next group of sleepered civilians. They consisted of a Jet Vac Skylander sleepered civilian with air force outfit, a Naga sleepered civilian with Egyptian priestess outfit, a Bakari the gator sleepered civilian with Rimba’s island themed overalls and shirt, a Poquito the lion sleepered civilian with themed circus outfit, a Pegasus sleepered civilian with Rimba’s island themed gala dress, a Free Ranger Skylander sleepered civilian with themed outfit, a Clockwork Dragon sleepered civilian with mechanic outfit, a bath toy Leviathan sleepered civilian with themed swimwear, a candy Wyvern sleepered civilian with themed armor, a toy demon sleepered civilian with themed baby clothes and a termite sleepered civilian with Monster Rancher baby clothes.The music started and Spear instantly liked the uplifting super hero theme as he fantasized about being a good boy for momma Nanny and saving the day in a variety of ways."You and your friends have been very good. I bet you'll love Momma Nanny's lessons," said the Kangaroo plush as she got Spear into his stroller after the music stopped."Of course we will," said the sleeper heads and Spear in unison as Spear eagerly stayed awake to see what was next.Kamen Rider Siren was up next and clearly nervous about being the centre of attention."Aww, another baby with stage fright? Would you like it if you were dressed by the sleeper Senshi instead of Momma Nanny? That means you'd have a few people with you," said the Kitsune plush in a good natured voice."Yes, pwease," said Siren as a Vileplume sleepered civilian went to Nanny and a group consisting of a Castform sleepered civilian, a ghost dragon sleepered civilian, a fairy dragon sleeped civilian, a Mega Banette sleepered civilian, a Kuriboh sleepered civilian, a Cactus sleepered civilian, a Cofarigus sleepered civilian, a Bellossom sleepered civilian, a corn sleepered civilian and a tomato sleepered civilian."Now, I know just what to get you," said Sailor Moon as she pulled out an outfit from a chest. It was a little red riding hood outfit with a basket of plastic food, a red and white hooded dress, a set of ballet shoes, a set of pantaloons and oversized glasses and bows to complete the look."It's cute!" said Siren as she stood still while Sailor Moon put it on and then waddled up with the group of civilians.Their outfits consisted of a hula dancer outfit, a weather themed outfit that shifted several times, a rather friendly looking colorful minstrel outfit, a set of Nanny themed hoodie pajamas, a kindergarten school girl outfit, a Pharaoh outfit, a slowly blooming flower outfit, an oriental emperor outfit, a baseball player outfit, a pirate outfit similar to Kat's but with a faux beard and a tow truck costume.The music started and Siren danced to the beat noting it was about her costume as her eyes glazed over. "Dat's right. I'm little red riding hood," she thought as she tumbled to the beat for as long as the music played."Good work, now sit tight dearie and let the other people get dressed up," said the Kangaroo plushie as she carried a still dazed Siren to her stroller and strapped her in.Kamen Rider Wrath was looking around, clearly curious about what was going on."And you're up next, dearie! I bet, you're just dying to be dressed," said the Kitsune plush with a chuckle as she unstrapped Wrath."Of course, these babies need a proper teacher and I'm just the one to do it," said Wrath as he waddled off, taking note of what the Sailor Senshi were doing so he could learn to do it to."Now, if you're a smart baby, you need something to show off your smartness," said Nanny as she pulled out the black stole and robe with matching oversized glasses."It's perfect! I can't wait for our lessons to begin after this," smiled Wrath. He dressed himself and watched the next group of civilians come up.They consisted of a sea serpent sleepered civilian with Fluttershy themed clothes, a Unicorn sleepered civilian with toy wizard themed outfit, a Bearmon sleepered civilian with rapper outfit, an ?Otter sleepered civilian with blue and white lace waiter outfit with kangaroo theme, a Minotaur sleepered civilian with themed bull armor, an Earth pony sleepered civilian with Harry Potter Wizard outfit, a cat monster sleepered civilian with sentai monster themed armor and fuku, a germ sleepered civilian with mermaid outfit, ?a pigeon sleepered civilian with reporter outfit, a Siamese cat sleepered civilian with royal herald outfit and a Wigglytuff sleepered civilian with medieval innkeeper outfit.The music started and Wrath danced to the beat as best as he could, hoping to set a good example for the other babies as the uplifting orchestral piece started. It ended after five minutes or so and Wrath headed back to his stroller and strapped himself in, knowing it was what Nanny wanted.Ninjor frowned distantly as his plushie fairy godparents circled around him, telling him over and over what a good boy he was and what outfit he'd look best in."And you're up! Looks like you and your friends will be having your lessons soon," said the Kitsune plushie as she unstrapped him from the stroller."Okay," said Ninjor, not really all there, as he clumsily waddled forward to Nanny."Okay, since you got a whole bunch of fairy god parents, you need something extra cute," said Nanny as she pulled out a total of six outfits.They consisted of a frilly purple and pink wedding gown with a gigantic blonde wig, a pillowy red and pink princess dress with a bonnet and plastic jewelry, a too big red wizard robe and star filled hat from Fantasia, the sorcerer's apprentice, a gigantic diaper to go along with an equally big red and green sailor fuku with a gigantic plastic ranseur, a pink and white school girl outfit with a mlp theme to it with glasses and a backpack, a cute little vegetable themed maid outfit with dozens of frills and lace petticoats and a babyish pirate outfit done up in baby blue."Pick that one! No that one! No that one!" said the plushies as they argued amongst themselves trying to decide what was perfect for them all.In the end Ninjor's addled mind couldn't take it and he cried until Nanny calmed him down with a nice bottle of milk."I know just the solution to this nasty wittle problem," she said as she put on the Disney Wizard outfit and caused the other five outfits to fade into it."Now, if you want to change outfits, you merely have to think about it. How does that sound?" asked Nanny sweetly."Tanks momma," said Ninjor as he hugged her softly before he waddled up and saw who his dance partners would be.A Roomon sleepered civilian with a power ranger’s outfit with Nanny's plush hippo theme, a Slowbro sleepered civilian with a crystal themed outfit, a Magcargo sleepered civilian with a cheesecake themed outfit, a Reshiram sleepered civilian with a set of Serperior themed plastic armor, a Dewott sleepered civilian with an anime ninja outfit, a Zekrom sleepered civilian with an extra thick Greninja themed outfit, a Kyurem sleepered civilian a with Torterra themed outfit, an eggplant sleepered civilian with an inflatable cherry themed outfit sloshing with cherry juice, a Furfrou sleepered civilian with a jester outfit, a Umbreon sleepered civilian with a gigantic outer diaper that touched the ground and a poorly fitting hoodie and a Zoroark sleepered civilian with a green mane and butler outfit.The music started and Ninjor waddled along to the Sorcerer's apprentice theme, dimly aware of how the plushie fairy god parents still changed the outfits every now and again, before it stopped and the kitsune plush carried him over to his stroller and let him sleep softly, clearly tired from crying and dancing.Onyx was up next, clearly sleepy at having to wait so long and yawned quite loudly when the kitsune plush walked over to him next and lightly tickled him awake."Wake up sleepy head, it's your turn since nearly all of your friends are dressed up like good little babies," said the Kitsune plush with a warm caring smile as she led Onyx by the hand.He sucked his thumb sleepily, and as he did the next group of civilians came on. They consisted of a sunflower sleepered boy, a Apibomb sleepered girl, a Maraquan Scorchio sleepered boy, a Gliscor sleepered girl, a Jynx sleepered boy, a Vilemon sleepered girl, a Minnie mouse sleepered guy, a Goofy sleepered girl, a Donald Duck sleepered guy, a Baboon sleepered girl and a Abomasnow sleepered guy."Now what to get you? Any suggestions?" asked Nanny absent mindedly before she now noticed how sleepy Onyx looked."Someting like my last outfit pwease," he said as he yawned again and slowly sucked his thumb."Okay, dearie," said Nanny with a chuckle as she pulled out a copy of the outfit Onyx had been forced to wear when he had been captured - but with a boost to the amount of frills and bows in it. Onyx slowly waddled off and dimly noted the outfits as he slowly danced to the relaxing slow waltz. The outfits here consisted of a vegetable themed apron, a pink and grey cheerleader outfit, a feudal noble outfit, a batman outfit, a nightgown and a footie pajama showing all sorts of sleepered civilians, a Piedmon outfit, a themed princess dress for the Minnie Mouse sleeper, a set of nicktoons themed knight armor with a matching shield, a set of Looney Tunes themed robes, a tron themed shaman outfit, and a plastic set of hippo themed armor. The music stopped and all of the civilians went back to the bleachers except for Onyx who slept softly on the floor as Nanny put a blanket over him and gave him a pacifier to suck as he slept.Lacey Sheridan eagerly looked around wondering when her turn would be up next."And, you're the last one. Are you ready?" asked the Kitsune plush sweetly."Yeppers!" said Lacey as she tripped and fell on her own tail before she waddled off with the last set of civilians consisting of a Gotsumon sleepered boy, a Audino sleepered girl, a Prince Blueblood sleepered guy, a cake sleepered girl, a flower themed eastern dragon sleepered boy, a moth sleepered girl, a Gazimon sleepered guy, a Dorumon sleepered girl, a Gumdramon sleepered boy, a Displacer beast sleepered girl and a Zhuqiaomon taur sleepered guy."And it looks like you're the last one. Pick any outfit you want, since you've been so patient," said Nanny with a warm smile."Okay! Can can! can can!" said Lacey as she eagerly did the memorable dance complete with it's high kicks."Okay, coming right up," said Nanny as she chuckled at how eager Lacey Sheridan was as she put on the lemon yellow and white dress with it's extra large bottom half, feathered bonnet and parasol with a pair of coke bottle glasses and a pair of pop guns to finish off the look. Lacey eagerly wandered up to the dancing area, before she noticed Onyx starting to stir."Knock, knock?" she asked with a friendly grin."Who's dere?" asked Onyx cutely."You," said Lacey, grinning widely."You who?" asked Onyx. “Yoowho, it’s time to get up and have fun!” said Lacey as she glomped Onyx in a deep hug. He smiled a bit at the joke and the attention and the two waddled up and noted the various outfits for the last group. They consisted of a too big smock, an Impersonator outfit with a southern belle dress, a noble outfit, a set of cake themed pantaloons, a set of flower themed coveralls and hat, a cartoon network clown outfit, a rockstar outfit, a Joe Kido outfit, a prisoner outfit with a ball and chain and a tutu, an Arabian outfit and a generic video game RPG hero outfit. The music started and all of the sleepered humans did the can can together as they smiled dopely for about five minutes.Finally, the music stopped and Lacey and Onyx went back together holding hands."Good job. Now it's time for your lessons," said Nanny as the heroes were all placed in their strollers and carted off as the rest of the sleepered civilians followed them down the hall.…Sting yawned.He shook his head, trying to shake the sleep out of it, and then realized with a start that he was wearing a thick, plushy suit and encased in a profoundly silly looking outfit.Trying to remember what happened just led to vague, dim memories – he could remember being trapped, but the whole thing with the clothes was a kind of hazy, pleasant sensation.As he frowned, he heard other sounds, and looked around at the room he was in.It looked a lot like a lecture hall, like the kind a large class would take lessons in – but this was a very strange version of a lecture hall.Instead of dark, polished wood for seats, there was colourful plastic with padded edges and a padded seat.Instead of the desks for note taking, there was a plastic tray in front of each layer of seating.And the walls were covered with colourful posters, with fluffy piles of toys and plushes and cushions stacked in drifts to either side of the main stage.“What's goin' on?” he heard Rocky ask, to his left.He looked at Rocky, and then around in increasing confusion at the others – all of them dressed in a baffling profusion of outfits.“Good morning!”He turned, and saw a strange – and strangely familiar – plush-looking hippo... thing... walk out onto the stage.“Welcome to class!” she said.“...isn't that the one from my dream?” someone muttered.It wasn't a very loud mutter. Just confused, sleepy, and a bit dazed.“Now, you all need to learn how to be good boys and girls, and then you can go out to play!” the hippo-thing said. “My name is Nanny. Say 'Hello, Momma Nanny!'”“Hello, Momma Nanny,” the 'class' chorused, and then they began to frown and look confused.“Why did I...” Sting asked himself, wondering not just why he'd said it but also why it had felt so much like the right thing to do.“Firstly, we're learning how to do math!” Nanny said, and the screen lit up.It showed three big monsters, and a huge number of costumed heroes.“Now, if three monsters are better than ninety costumed heroes, how many costumed heroes is one monster better than?”Sting realized he knew the answer, and felt really tempted to put up his hand and answer.“I know!” said someone in a dragon costume who Sting thought was one of the Borgs. “I know!”“What's the answer?” Nanny asked her.“One monster is better than thirty costumed heroes!”As she said it, she smiled – and actually giggled – then relaxed with a sigh.“That's right!” Nanny agreed. “Good girl!”Sting felt really jealous.He should have put his hand up…“Now it's time for spelling!” Nanny said, and the screen changed. “Can you spell 'monstrous'?”Tommy waved his hand. “I know! I know!”“Go ahead, sweetie,” Nanny told him.“M-O-N... S-T...” Tommy frowned, thinking.“Go on,” Nanny coaxed. “It's hard, isn't it?”“E...” Tommy said. “R?”It was more of a question than a statement, but Nanny smiled warmly.“You're such a brave little one for trying to spell,” she said. “It's so hard, isn't it? No matter how hard you concentrate on the letters, they start to waver and fade. It's just impossible to remember what they are...”Tommy pouted, then thought hard. “Is it U? Yeah, U-S!”The word appeared on the board.“Let's see how well you did!” Nanny said brightly, and the letters flashed as she pointed to them. “M-O-N-S-T-E-R... oh, dear...”Tommy blushed, squirming in his seat.“It looks like you missed one,” she said. “That's okay, you're still learning to spell.”She turned to the board, and the words on it dissolved into colourful sparkles.“What about reading?” she asked. “Who wants to try to read something?”Wing Knight considered, then waved his plush-encased hand. “Ooh, me! Me!”Nanny smiled, and a series of words appeared on the screen. “Can you read them?” she asked. “Go on – see if you can do it!”“Sure thing!” Wing Knight said, and leaned forwards – big plush tail wagging back and forth over his diaper. “Uh... I... wait, that's just a word! I!”“Good!” Nanny praised. “And the next word?”“L... O... uh, V...” Wing Knight frowned. “I don't know what that letter is...”“It's E,” Nanny told him.“Oh, right!” Wing Knight said, smiling. “E! So... L-O-V-E... love!”“Well done!”Some of the other heroes were gaping at how hard he was finding it. But, as they looked at the words on the screen, they found they were having trouble too – the letters seeming to swim before them and make it hard to follow.“M...Y... my!” Wing Knight announced. “I love my...”He subsided, and sat back down with a thud. “I don't know...”“That's okay, you did your best,” Nanny smiled. “Let's try... you!”The Gold Zeo Ranger, nearly hidden under his layers of outfits, jumped up eagerly. “It's D-I-A-P-E-E diaper!”Nanny chuckled. “That's just right. Now, everyone say it at once!”She pointed to each word, and the plush-costumed heroes began to read along. “I – love – my – diaper!”“That's right!” she beamed, clapping her hands.There were smiles throughout the lecture room, and several of the heroes relaxed -some of them too much, though they didn't much mind. Or notice.“History time!” Nanny said then, and the screen changed again.It showed two large castles, one of which seemed to be made out of nothing more nor less than stacked cushions while the other was a simpler design made out of blankets.“The War of the Sleepers was a very important and super exciting war!” Nanny told them. “One side was the Poofs! And who can tell me what the other side was?”“Oh!” Spear said, raising his hand. “I know, I know! It was the Sissybutts!”“That's right!” Nanny agreed, with a smile. “Very well done!”Spear beamed.“Now, they had a long war,” Nanny went on, showing pictures of incredibly-padded groups giggling and running around and chasing one another. “You can see the Poofs here because they have really big diapers, and the Sissybutts because they have really frilly diapers!”All the diapers she showed them were big, and most of them were frilly, so it was hard to tell the difference – if there was one.“There were lots of hard-fought battles, ones with lots of owies and boo-boos, because they didn't always remember to wear thick enough sleepers,” Nanny told them, in hushed tones. “What silly billies!”Some of the watching heroes gasped.“That's silly!” Tanya nodded. “'cause sleepers make you padded and stop you getting hurt if you fall down!”Nanny clapped. “That's just right!”Tanya blushed, and pressed her knees together absently.“What's more, sometimes one of the Sissybutts would be captured by the Poofs!” Nanny said, in a story-telling cadence. “They'd be put in the dreaded... poofy corner!”There were more gasps as the Poofy Corner was revealed.It was a simple corner, with two play-pen walls closing it off.The tricky bit was obvious, though – the prisoner trapped in it, in a familiar-looking griffin suit, was so padded and his sleeper so poofed up that he couldn't move beyond wiggling about slightly.As he watched, Adam frowned slightly.That was...But...He didn't remember...Trying to concentrate, Adam absently wet his diapers. The pleasure pulsed through him, and he sighed and stopped wondering about the puzzle.“One of the most important sissybutts was Lord Foxbutt!” Nanny told everyone, and the screen lit up with the image of a frill-bedecked Braixen sleeper crawling along with nine fluffy tails wagging behind it.“I know who dat is!” said Spear, giggling.“That's right!” Nanny agreed. “Isn't it, dear?”Kamen Rider Thrust – dressed in that very same nine-tailed Braixen sleeper – blushed and fidgeted, starting to half believe it himself.“Then, of course, there was the final battle of the war!” Nanny explained. “After lots of long evenings of time-out and boo-boo and stolen bottles, the two sides gathered their great big armies and fought the battle of the Big Sandpit!”The screen's view changed, to show a great big fight between dozens of sleepered and plushified people encased in all kinds of costumes.As the scene moved slowly around, the heroes gaped – then began pointing, as they recognized sleepers. “Look!”“There I am!”“But... was I... yeah, must have been!”“And the leaders were the great Sir Spear of the Sissybutts, riding his noble steed the Wing Knight-”“Look! Look!” Spear said, pointing. “It's us! It's us!”Wing Knight nodded, shifting slightly in his seat.Sure enough, the chimera-suited Spear was sat poofily on top of the saddle strapped to the back of the Guilmon-suited Wing Knight, and they were waddling into battle with Spear waving a frill-encrusted foam sword.“I look all sissy,” Spear said proudly, squirming. “I'm a good sissybutt.”“You are!” Nanny nodded, looking directly at him. “You're Momma Nanny's good little sissybutt! And so are all the sissybutts! What are you?”About half the audience spoke up, speaking nearly in unison. “We're Momma Nanny's good little sissybutts, momma!”“That's right,” Nanny agreed, nodding, and enjoying the rush of power as several of them wet their diapers at once. “And the leader of the poofs was none other than Sir Tommy!”This time, the image that came up was of a wyvern-sleeper in an oversized dog romper – clearly Jason under all the poof and padding – on all fours, with Tommy's Dragonite sleeper on his back. Both sleepers were so overstuffed that it was hard to see how Tommy could walk, and Jason was clearly already reduced to crawling.“Wow...” Tommy said faintly.For a moment, he wondered why – why was this something that made him so impressed?But before he could work out what else to feel – or if he should feel something else – he shifted, and relaxed, and wet his worries away.“Who's a good poof? Whoo's a good poof?” Nanny asked, coaxingly.“I am!” he said, raising a Dragonite-mittened hand. “I am!”“And I am!” Jason agreed.“And me!” “Me too!”“Now, all together..?” Nanny asked.“We're Momma Nanny's big proud Poofs, Nanny!”Nanny smiled. “That's just right.”Another change, and it now showed a feast on the screen. Poofs and Sissybutts alike sitting down cross-legged or in high chairs, eating and drinking – especially drinking, mostly bottles.“And then they all kissed and made up!” Nanny finished.A few minutes and bottles later, Nanny resumed.“The war of the sleepers left several important sites around the world!” Nanny said, changing the slide picture. “Such as Lord Foxbutt's castle!”“Oh, I know dat!” Dragonborg said, pointing.“That's right!” Nanny praised. “It's a very important place, because it's got loads and loads and loads of diapers!”The slides revealed a treasure room stacked to the ceiling with diapers of hundreds of different kinds, along with sleepers and mittens and booties and all sorts of paraphernalia.“Woooow...” several of the zonked heroes said, gaping.“There were a lot of fights over the wealth and toys inside,” Nanny said, and got nods in return. “Now, who recognizes this?”She showed a cathedral.“Uh...” Ninjor frowned, concentrating hard. “I think... I remember that one...”“It's where several of the great knights and nobles lived,” Nanny explained, showing them. “The mellow and laid back Slow Pallas, for example, or the blacksmith and mechanic Fixitails!”Unknown to the heroes, what was shown on the screen were earlier victims of Nanny's baroque dungeon complex. Sailors Pallas and Juno, nearly unrecognizable in their sea-turtle and Tails sleepers, had been captured in a futile attempt to save the senshi and thoroughly corrupted.“She looks amazing,” someone mumbled. “Comfy...”“And there's also the court of the Kous!” Nanny said. This time, three images appeared – heroes trapped in sleepers of Shining Armor, Spyro the Dragon and Queen Chrysalis – with the background being the royal court that had entrapped Onyx and Lightningborg. “They were important Sissybutt nobles, who provided a lot of sissy clothes to the Sissybutts!”The heroes soaked all the information in, the magic of Nanny's creeping corruption filling in from these lessons to provide a whole world history – one that would make them even less inclined to question their new roles.“Of course, as well as important places for people, there were important battle areas!” Nanny chuckled. “The central play area was an important place for Fun, and because Fun is so important there was a lot of fighting over it!”The “fighting” shown on screen looked a lot like everyone was just competing to have more fun on the rides.“Now, that's enough of old history!” Nanny said suddenly, and changed the screen one last time. This time, it showed the fake-version of Crystal Tokyo some of the heroes had seen. “What's this? Can anyone tell me?”There was silence. Then, slowly, Siren raised her padded hand shyly.“Go on,” Nanny invited.“It's... um... the capital city of the continent of Crinkletopia, Momma Nanny,” Siren said, her voice barely audible over the crinkling. “And you're the ruler.”“That's right!” Nanny said, clapping. “Well done!”The projector showed one more slide, a smiling Nanny with a whole group of plush-suited victims – both civilians and heroes. They were waving and smiling, some of them with unfocused expressions.“That was a fun lesson, wasn't it?” Nanny asked, clapping her hands as the lights came back up.“Yes, Momma Nanny,” said several of the 'pupils', and Nanny smiled.“Now, it's time for drinkies and num nums!” she added. “Whoooo wants some baba?”“Ooh, me!” “Me!”Mittened hands waved in the air, and the kitsune plush from earlier came padding down the stairs with bottles in all nine tails.The kangaroo plush followed, pulling high chairs out of her pouch and setting them up, and one by one the heroes were lifted up to have a drink and a bite to eat.Josh frowned, looking down at his cupcake.He felt... bizarre. Sluggish, like he wasn't thinking right.He was... well, he was...Looking at his costume, with the plushy Miltank shape and the shepherd outfit on top, Josh thought he was a good plush Miltank. A good baby.But... there was something else, as well.He was...Frowning, he tried to work out what the problem was.He could remember... something. Something that wasn't endless playing and simple happiness and warm, encasing, constricting, comforting plush.A time when he was a hero, a defender of...Josh tasted the milk on his lips, and it was an effort not to just give in to that warm haze of contentment.But he had to resist.“It's playtime soon!” Nanny called. “So everyone get ready for some fun!”There.That was his chance.He just had to keep it together.The heroes, in various states of entrancement and various thicknesses of suits, filed out into the play area.“Enjoy!” Nanny said, clapping. “Have fun, play games, enjoy yourselves!”Laughing and cheering started as the various victims spread out to have fun.The heroes all gathered around, looking at themselves and each other, and noting how silly they looked in their outfits and sleepers."We'd better find a way out of here and fast," said Adam as he nervously shifted from foot to foot as if he had to go to the bathroom again."Yeah but where do we start?" asked Lacey Sheridan as she watched the mob of converted civilians from the pageant and other areas run around freely."Good question. We'll probably have to split up into three person teams to cover more ground. The last remaining hero can go with whatever group they choose," said Karato as he dimly thought of dancing in front of a crowd."Tag! You're it!" shouted a Littleo sleepered civilian in a medieval soldier outfit as he tapped Billy on the shoulder and ran off."Dat's it!" shouted Billy as he waddled off after the civilian with the rest of the group rapidly dispersing as they tried to stick in three person teams. None of them noticed all of them were headed rather far away from each other."So what do you think the exit will look like?" asked Tommy as he Wing Knight and Andrew waddled through a forest."I dunno. It's probably hidden," said Andrew as he rubbed his stomach, noting how hungry and thirsty he felt."Well whatever it is, we better keep our eyes open," Wing Knight agreed, as his own stomach growled hungrily before they came across something.It was a large picnic blanket with three gigantic picnic baskets and three baby bottles filled with milk, the size of a beer keg."Well, it looks like we found our lunch," said Wing Knight as he waddled over and opened up a basket noting it was filled with pastries, including Guilmon bread."I thought we didn't want to eat with what this place does to us?" whined Tommy as his stomach growled loudly.His friends shrugged. "Well, we wanna keep our strength for when we escape," said Andrew as he sat down in front of his own picnic basket and opened it, quickly demolishing the various cookies and fruit before moving on to the milk bottle as he got on his back and held it up to his mouth."You gotta point," said Tommy as he waddled over and finished off the last picnic basket, which was filled with poffins, before quickly guzzling down the gigantic milk bottle as well.As expected with so much milk guzzled down, it made it's way through their stomach's incredibly fast as all of them pressed their legs to try and stem the flood. It was inevitable that some of it would eventually get through, however, as a small stream of urine break through their squeeze followed by more as the relaxed with a huge sigh at reliving so much pressure. All of their sleepers plumped up noticeably, especially Andrew's which gained a set of rather colorful streaks and swirls akin to a real life flower with numerous plush flowers growing around his sleeper."Let's try and find our way back," said Wing Knight dimly as he got up slowly, and the rest of the group waddled off,. The only problem was, they had lost their way – quite literally, as they struggled to find the path they took into the forest. They meandered around a bit before coming across a large rock filled ravine."I think I should try carrying you guys, it's too big and rocky to cross in our sleepers," said Tommy, as he experimentally flapped his wings."You sure? We're probably pretty heavy," pointed out Andrew as he looked at the gigantic girth of his Venus claptrap sleeper."It's faster than waiting to cross the ravine. I won't drop you," Tommy assured him as he picked the two up by their arms and jumped into the air with the aid of his wings.It was a good jump but not good enough as they barely got halfway across the ravine before Tommy thumped the ground with the rest of the two hitting the ground hard enough for it to hurt despite their padded sleepers."I just wanna go home to Mommy!" moaned Andrew as he started crying loudly, soon joined in by his two team mates as they all wailed about how lost they were."Don't cry dearies! Help is on the way!" said the Kangaroo plush as she hopped over with a group of three civilians in her pouch consisting of a Black-Winged Dragon sleepered girl in a soldier outfit, a Calumon sleepered boy in a maestro outfit and a wolf sleepred boy in a butterfly themed outfit. "Now let's get you into my pouch and away from this nasty tumble," cooed the Kangaroo plush as she picked up the three heroes and put them into her pouch before hopping away to a grassy clearing and taking out the six sleepered humans."Hey, wanna pway sleeper volving? That's always a fun game," suggested the Calumon sleepered boy as the kangaroo plush got out some bottles for Andrew, Wing Knight and Tommy to suck on after their nasty tumble. "Sure, I guess?" said Tommy before he started to suck on his bottle, trying to take his mind off of how weak he felt."Okay here we go!" shouted the Calumon sleepered boy as he waved his wand around Tommy before a large flash of light happened.When it faded, Tommy's sleeper had gotten noticeably larger and thicker with his outfit more like swaddling than clothing."That looks fun! Let me be next!" said Wing Knight after he finished his bottle and burped, his eyes glazed over once again. Another flash of light lit the area causing Wing Knight sleeper to be a Growlmon sleeper with the armor now Gallantmon inspired."Can I sleepervolve to?" asked Andrew sleepily as he yawned loudly, clearly tired."Sure!" said the Calumon sleepered boy. His wand waved again, and Andrew's sleeper changed into a larger and bulkier tree like version version with four petal like tendrils at his sides adorned with flower like blossoms with a large amount of plush leaf filled branches with numerous flowers and fruit."Can I get a horsie ride?" asked the wolf sleepered boy, walking up to Wing Knight."Sure!" said the hero as he let the boy climb up on his back and galloped off while the rest of the group cheered him on.Ninjor, Lightningborg and Torque were waddling around, noticing there were a lot of converted civilians running past them."What do you think's goodraing on?" asked Torque, clearly embarrassed about his new verbal tic."I dunno know but let's follow em!" Lightningborg said, as she and torque waddled aheadBehind them, Ninjor's plushies were whispering in his ear, "Be a good baby, momma will love you if you help her out."Convinced by this, he followed them with a wobbling slow walk.The group soon came across a large stage like area where a whole bunch of civilians were busy setting up a background, checking spot lights, and generally looking like they were preparing for a show."Why do you think they're doing this?" asked Ninjor, as he rubbed his waist, feeling the need to go again."I dunno. Let's goo over and find out!" suggested Torque as he waddled over with the other two heroes following behind.They soon came across a civilian wearing a Rainbow Dash sleeper with a checklist as she watched over the rest of the converted civilians work. "Very good! With the way this is going we'll be all ready to start in no time!" she said as Torque tapped her on the shoulder."What is it?" she asked as she turned around."Can we help too?" asked Lightningborg, fidgeting as he wet with a slight sigh."Sure! It will make things go faster for us! Now just help the various babies around here and you'll be rewarded by Momma!" instructed the civilian as she took to the air to help position some spotlights.The trio of heroes split up, with Ninjor working on the spotlights. It was a rather hard task as the light they made seemed to just catch his attention and make him want to focus on the light rather than doing anything."That's it. ?You're a good baby boy," said one of the fairy godplushies, causing Ninjor to smile dimly. It was true in his mind after all.Torque was up next, having to help hold the stage together. It was easy with how gooey his sleeper was and his new size, but it should have been worrying to him as he got treated more like a Pokemon with the way people used him as a pack mule or rode on him.Torque didn't care, however, and just felt he was being a good Pokemon.Lightningborg's task was looking through the various outfits in a set of chests and picking out ones for all of the undressed civilians."Here, ya go! Take this one! Have fun, y'all!" said Lightningborg as he handed out outfit after outfit, feeling very pleased with himself as the day went on."So, what kind of outfits should we get?" asked Ninjor as he walked up to Lightningborg with Torque following closely behind."I like mine. It's goodra," said Torque as he looked at the multicolored latias outfit now looking like a set of frilly baby clothes, especially in the rear."We already got you six outfits for you to switch between, so you're good there," pointed out Ninjor's fairy god parents as Ninjor wet himself with a sigh, feeling quite relieved at doing so."Well, Ah'm good with my outfit as a princess of crinkletopia. We're all out of stuff anyway," said Lightningborg as he sat on his padded rear with a foomph with the other two heroes doing so as well, not caring that they wet themselves yet again."So, what's next?" asked Siren quietly as the group looked over the forest they were in."I don't know, but I hope it's fun!" Roland grinned, before the group came to a rather deep stream flowing with water."We'll have to swim across," said Josh firmly as he looked around and saw no way around the water."In these outfits?" asked Roland as he gestured to his diaper suit."We'll have to try," Josh replied. He quickly waddled forward and jumped into the water and dog paddled across, soaking his sleeper and diaper but his outfit somehow remained dry."I'll try jumping across!" shouted Roland as he backed up and got some distance between him and the stream before running towards the stream and clearing it in a single jump."Pretty good," said Siren as she experimentally twitched her suit's wings before she slowly flew across the stream, landing in front of the other two."Well, that went well. Let's move on," said Josh.They continued on for a bit, the sounds of the forest lulling them into a daze before they came across a group of plushies having a picnic. "Hi! Wanna eat?" they asked as they showed them the spread of food."Sure!" said Roland as the hungry former heroes sat down and quickly got to eating."So wanna play tag and then hide and seek?" asked one of the plushies after the heroes finished their meal of donuts, pizza and soda.“Sure!" shouted Josh, and declared he was it.The game of tag went by in a blur as the groups tried to catch each other.Hide and seek was next and the group members each had a turn seeking. Just then the kitsune plush came into the area."Awww, there you are! I've been looking all over for you! The show's about to begin, and you're in it!" she said with a smile."But I don't like being looked at," whined Siren along with Josh."Come on! I bet it will be super duper fun!" shouted Roland as he bounced up and down."Sure," said Josh as the trio waddled off with the kitsune plush.Some distance away, three more of the diapered, plushified heroes were making their bid for freedom.“What's the plan?” Jason asked, glancing at the others. He blushed, reaching down to rub the butt of his Wyvern sleeper as his diaper crinkled under it, and tried not to think too much about the romper over the top of it.“Well, my plan was to head out by going up,” Dragonborg said. He pointed up the side of the rock face – indicating an almost hidden but fairly gentle path with switchbacks. “We know we're underground, I mean...”Sting nodded. His flowery outfit on top of his flowery-themed dragon sleeper wobbled as he did, and he looked up at the path. “Who first?”“I'll go,” Dragonborg said, shifting in his frilly-maid outfit and plump dragon sleeper. “I'm... I mean, uh, my costume is widest, so I'll be worst at getting through.”“Right,” Sting agreed. “So if we run into somewhere you can't get through we should go back, but if you can get through so can we.”Dragonborg nodded. “That's right.”He reached padded, mittened hands up and started to climb.It was a long, tricky ascent – not because it was a long way but because it took them a painfully long time to waddle up each short stretch of the path.Once, they had to really squeeze through a narrow bit, both of the others pushing Dragonborg to make sure he didn't get stuck, and another time they had to clamber up a field of small smooth boulders to get around a rockslide.It was surprisingly fun, almost like a slightly more real play area.After climbing for what was probably about half an hour, the path led along a shallow slope and then dipped abruptly down into a large cave set into the hillside.“Should we keep going?” Dragonborg asked, glancing back at the others.“I guess so,” Jason said. “It's not like we've got any other leads...”The path led down into the cave for about twenty yards, then turned to the left gently – then the right, more sharply, until they were out of sight of the entrance.“Is it me,” Dragonborg said slowly, pointing, “...or is that light?”“You're right!” Jason agreed. “Maybe we're out!”“I don't know...” Sting said, frowning. “It seems too easy...”The three heroes pulled together, a little closer to one another, and rounded the corner together.What they saw was not a way out... but it was, at least, impressive.There was a huge cavern, at least a hundred feet on a side and fifty high, with piles and piles of plush material in great heaps over the floor.High in the wall, an opening could be seen which lead outwards... somewhere... though it would take flying or climbing to get out that way, and neither was really an option for any of the three heroes.After gaping around for a few seconds, a giggle drew their attention to the centre of the room.A big, plump, puffy-bodied dragoness, bright pink and looking like a much larger version of Dragonborg's sleeper, had a padded hand to her muzzle to stifle a giggle.Beside her, one on each side, were a plush griffin and wyvern.“Hello, hello, hello!” the dragoness said, flapping over to them with her comically small wings. “Welcome to my lair! I'm Mommeramaximacrinkles, little hatchlings, and I'm going to teach you the most important things any young dragon can learn!”“But...” Jason frowned, mind suddenly becoming a bit fuzzy. “We're... not dragons?”It came out more like a question than he'd originally intended.“Of course you're not, silly,” Crinkles said, patting him on the chest and then on the tush. “You're a good little diapered dragon hatchy, just like these two! Now, it's time to learn what's most important for dragons!”The griffin plush flew over with a half-dozen thick, folded diapers, and Crinkles took them before pushing one into the mitts of each surprised hero. “Lesson one! Hoarding!”“Hoarding?” Sting repeated, looking down at the padded poof of the diaper. “I don't... uh... wait, I'm not sure...”He frowned, trying to concentrate.“Dragons all have to hoard!” Crinkles explained. “So you don't want to let go of anything at all! That's a good hatchling!”“But...” Sting looked down at the diaper, and decided to drop it.He tried to drop it.For some reason, his mitts wouldn't open.“Want more!” Jason said, reaching out for the ones Crinkles still had, and she smirked before giving him two of the three.The wyvern-suited ranger sat down on his padded behind, happily clutching his three prizes.“Hey!” Dragonborg protested. “He got two! I want two as well!”“This little hatchy here was the greediest!” Crinkles told him, passing him one. “The first to take something gets the most, that's how dragons work!”Sting felt terribly jealous that the others had gotten more than him.“Next time...” he said, quietly. “I want more than them next time...”None of them saw Crinkles' satisfied, evil grin.“Now, hatchlings need milk to grow up big and strong!” she said, and took milk bottles from the wyvern. “Who wants theirs first!”“Me!” all of the suited heroes said at once, not wanting to be pipped to the post this time.Crinkles chuckled, and plopped a bottle into each mouth in the space of less than a second. “There we go!”The dragonform-suited victims looked at one another, and suckled – as hard as they could, trying to be first.Sting was slightly quicker than the others, finishing his bottle while the others still had a mouthful or two to go.“Good hatchy!” Crinkles praised, giving him a scratch which made him shiver with pleasure. “Now it's time to learn how to roar!”Crinkles' lessons went on for what seemed like hours, going over all kinds of features of how dragons behaved. She taught them how to roar, how to prowl, how selfish and bratty dragons should be, and how dragons were the best kind of creature of all – and read story after story about amazing, powerful dragons and weak humans who couldn't stand up to them.After a while, however, she looked up and clapped her hands. “Oh, look at the time! Okay, hatchies, you've got an appointment!”She pointed at the hole. “Since you're all still little wyrmlings, we'll have to carry you! Who wants to be carried by Auntie Griffin?”“I wanna!” Sting said, waving his hand.Jason walked over to Uncle Wyvern, and let the big plush wyvern pick up his smaller-wyvern trapsuit.Crinkles picked up Dragonborg, and the three plushes flew their pupils out into Nanny's domain."So, what do we do now?" asked Billy, as he looked around at the grassy plain he, Chamo and Fireborg had come across."I don't know but let's pick a direction and stick with it," said Chamo confidently as the trio waddled off.It was nice and peaceful for the most part, with the only sounds being the crinkling of their diapers and the birds chirping softly.Eventually, they came across a rather rocky ravine in the middle of the meadow. Looking up and down showed them no possible bridges – they would have to cross, despite the sound of giggling that could faintly be heard."Who do ya tink dat is?" asked Fireborg as his sleeper's ears twitched."I dunno. Let's find out," said Billy as the trio clambered down the ravine.A little way down, they ran into a rather small hole in the ravine that opened up into a cozy lit cave with two civilians there.One of them was a comically-thick-ninetails-sleepered girl with a nightgown and fox themed face paint while the other was a Diggersby sleepered boy with a construction worker outfit and clown themed face paint."Aww, new fwiends to help us. Just want we needed," said the Ninetails sleepered girl, as she wet with a sigh."Help with what?" asked Chamo as he shifted slightly."Just help getting our room cleaned before we go out and see the show today," said the Diggersby sleepered boy politely."Sounds fair. Let's get started guys!" said Billy as he took off, grabbing a broom as he started sweeping up the floor.Chamo was giving the task of cleaning out a rather large tub with the sound of water running making him unconsciously press his legs together.Fireborg's task was merely setting up a sleeping area for the three new babies who had just moved in, a task he enjoyed in his current mindset.Just then, an alarm clock rang, causing the three former heroes to jump."Looks like it's time for the show already! Let's go!" shouted the ninetails sleepered girl as she and the four other babies shuffled out of the hole.“So where do we go?" asked Jo as her suit's tail twitched with nervousness."I don't know," said Tanya as she waddled forward in her sleeper with Strike following close behind.The walk took them through a small wooded forest and into what looked like a small camping area, where a set of voices could be heard."Hey, looks like we got company," said one voice as the Kous from the history video came out from a small tent and looked at the three heroes."Can you tell us more about yourselves?" asked Strike, hoping that would get them to give up a way to get out of here."Sure! We'll also tell you about your roles in the war of sleepers," said Seiya Kou as his Shining Armor's sleepered head bobbed up and down with excitement. "As the kous, we supported the sissybuts as they seemed to have the comfiest clothing we could want so we were great friends with them," said Taiki kou as he gestured around with his Spyro sleeper's claws."We did like a lot of the poofs though so we were glad when the war of sleepers finally ended, now for you history Lady Crinkle Claw," said Yaten Kou as he pointed to Tanya with his Queen Chyrsalis sleeper's hoof."Who, me?" asked Tanya in surprise. "Yes, you were one of the highest ranking princess of all of the poofs and had many different people asking for your attention. Your retainers, Tinker Calumon and Vampenny served as your court mage and head maid respectively," said Seiya as his horn glowed slightly, causing the trio of heroes to nod in understanding, finding this new life perfectly natural deep in their minds."Well, we better get you to the show, you got a lot of people to entertain today," said Taki as he sat up."Okay," said the trio of heroes dimly as they got up and waddled after the three former senshi.No matter where the heroes had gone, or how far they got in their escape attempts, all of them were corralled by various converted former heroes, or civilians, or plushies – or even just the terrain – and guided towards a large area of open space in the middle of the outdoor section.There was a stage set up in the middle, with sleepered victims of all sorts sat in a semicircle around it, and one by one the rangers and borgs and kamen riders were guided to sit themselves down in their places.“All right, everyone!” called a familiar voice, making the heroes look up at the stage – to see several suited shapes, from a wolf to a Gomamon to a frilly-dressed crocodile, standing around Nanny herself.“It's time for today's dance! Are you ready?”“Yeah!” called the spectators, caught up in the excitement, including the heroes – for whom escape was the last thing on their minds right now.“This is a song you should all learn off by heart,” Nanny continued. “And it's sung by Sailor Biyo Uranus!”More cheers, as the entire crowd looked forward to hearing Sailor Kigu Uranus sing for them.She stepped forwards, her Biyomon plush outfit seeming somehow right on her, then cleared her throat.And began to sing.Tommy couldn't quite tell what the words were. It was... a good song... he could tell that much.And... it was intoxicating. The more he heard it, the more he wanted to hear it.It was about... things. He wasn't really sure of the specifics, but it was about how good it was to be a helpless diapered baby. It was about how happy and nice it was to be wrapped in lovely thick poofy diapers. About how much less worry it was to just do whatever Momma Nanny said.He got up, seized by sudden enthusiasm, and began to dance. His crinkly tush wobbled, throwing off his balance, but he didn't mind – it was his diaper, and he knew it was good.There were others dancing too. Plushy-wearing, sleeper-suited others, who hugged and nuzzled him spontaneously whenever the mood struck them – and he did the same.Tommy felt encased in a whirl of happy colours and sounds, and that was all he needed.But like all good things, the song eventually ended with all of the heroes tuckered out from dancing and they hypnotic effects of the song."Awww, my little babies, are sleepy? Let's get you back to your room so you can have a nice nap for your big day tomorrow," said NannyShe led the former heroes out of the wilderness play area and back through the class room and through a side door to a large plush covered room, with a gigantic mobile showing all sorts of sleepers hanging from the ceiling. The heroes - already bone tired at this point - flopped on the floor and just slowly fell asleep, most of them snoring slightly as they did.Nanny smiled at the sight, turning off the lights and exiting the room. The mobile came on next, filling the room with an array of rainbow colored light as a soft tinkling music box tune played, secretly encouraging their new state of mind.The sleeper senshi were waiting for Nanny when she had left the room. "So what do we do to help momma?" asked Sailor Moon as she fidgeted from excitement."All of you are going to help me do some face paint on more ready babies before doing it on the babies still sleeping in there," said Nanny sweetly as she led the group to the class room area where a set of civilians where already in the desks waiting for them."The most important part of face painting young babies is that you must cover all of their face with Momma's face paint to fully convert them. Other than that, you can make the face paint anything you want. Observe as I do the first three before you do your own," said Nanny as she walked over to her first client, a moth sleepered boy with a shoutmon diaper suit that was quite thick and hard to move in.Nanny got straight to work, picking up the paintbrush and making slow deliberate strokes, watching as the paint changed color on her command. Soon the victim had a German Shepard puppy themed face paint with a large painted on tongue as the victim's eyes glazed over.Nanny moved onto the next one, this one being a Greninja sleepered girl with a grey and pink wolf romper not that different from Jason's own romper. Nanny worked quickly here too, covering the victim's face in a sea green and deep blue splotchy face paint with several fish on the cheeks and forehead of the victim, converting another baby to the cause.The last one was a moogle sleepered girl with her sleeper having a chocobo lower half to make it look like she was riding it, with some incredibly frilly baby clothes consisting of booties, wing mittens, pantaloons and a frilly shirt with poufy shoulders.As always Nanny was quite efficient, this time covering the victim's face in a mostly orange face paint with several yellow flower like dots on her face."Now that, you've seen my give these babies, these face paint, why don't you do the same?" asked NannyThe sailor senshi chorused, "Yes Mommy!” as they all chose their own three babies to work on.Sailor Moon was standing in front of a Nightmare moon sleepered boy with a bunny-Link one piece not too dissimilar from her own sleeper."It's my second favorite sleeper senshi!" said the boy eagerly as he smiled at Sailor Moon."Who's your first favorite then?" asked Sailor Moon with a warm smile."It's sailor Gato, Sailor Bunny, can I have face paint like her sleeper?" asked the boy as he shifted nervously."Sure. Now hold still," asked Sailor Moon as she dabbed the paint brush in some paint and slowly applied it to the boy's face. What she did was a hot pink and purple cat themed face paint with a large bell on one cheek."Tank you momma," said the boy as he yawned loudly and fell asleep in the chair.Sailor Moon smiled proudly as she moved on to the next civilian. This one was a chao sleepered girl in an incredibly frilly princess like pageant outfit. She shifted slightly as she slept. "Better, get this done quietly then. I don't want to wake this baby up from her nap," thought Sailor Moon as she quickly got to work, lightly painting on black and white stripped face paint - styled after a thing she saw on the internet known as a crux - with a set of blue eyeliner and purple lipstick being the finishing touches.Sailor Moon felt her body glow with energy as she moved on to her final one. The last one was a rather eager looking chicken suited boy with a Rarity themed showgirl outfit. "Can I have something like my sleeper pwease?" he asked sweetly."Sure. Now hold still," said Sailor moon as she got to work, painting on an orange feather themed rooster face paint, with a fake moustache, comb, waddle and beak completing the look as she felt all tingly from the energy she had absorbed.Meanwhile, Chibiusa quickly got to work, choosing a Rabidragon sleepered girl with a hippo themed belly dancer outfit. "Time to get you ready for Momma Nana," she said as she began with short but intense strokes, covering the victim's face in a rather cartoonish red and grey dragon themed face paint with a scale pattern and a diaper mark on the forehead.She soon moved on to her next victim, that being a girl with a gogoat sleeper and eighties styled fitness clothes. As Chibi began, the girl shifted about, mumbling "I wanna pway now.”"You can go once, I get done painting your face," Chibiusa told her as she got to work, painting on a face paint styled after the sleeper with several flower markings on the eyes, nose and cheeks."Yay! Can I pway in your royal court?" asked the girl as she stood up."Sure. You can be my personal pwaytime expert after tomorrow," said Chibiusa as she moved to the last victim, this one being a Giraffe sleepered girl with a school teacher outfit. Chibiusa already knew what she wanted and quickly got to work, giving this one a spotted yellow and pink face paint with a large faux toucan beak, smiling at how good it felt to be a mother.Sailor Mercury was up next, looking around at each of the civilians here, wondering which one she should do first. After a bit of looking around, she decided her first choice was a girl in a duck hunt dog sleeper with a pool toy duck costume."Hai!" said the girl as she hugged Mercury."Hi yourself. What kind of face paint would you like?" asked Sailor Mercury."Something, clownish. I wannna join Sailor Pinkie Jupiter Pie in the circus," said the girl promptly."Okay, got it," said Sailor Mercury as she quickly got to work, giving the girl a white and brown face paint with a large star on the girl's left eye. "And now for the final touch. Nose Boop!" said Sailor Mercury as she light touched the girl's nose with her own, causing a clown nose made out of ice to appear around the girl's nose."Tank you," said the girl as she yawned a bit and Mercury moved on to her next choice. This one was a guy in an inflatable Lion sleeper with an outfit consisting of an inflated zebra power rangers themed outfit. The guy yawned a bit upon seeing Sailor Mercury but clearly looked happy to see her.Mercury got straight to work on this one, giving him a red, blue and yellow face paint with black and white stripes on the cheeks, watching as he yawned loudly and fell asleep as soon as she was done.Her final client was a young girl in a fox sleeper with a top hat, go go boots, and a fancy dress coat"Hello. Can I go exploring after you get done?" she asked sweetly."Sure you can," said Mercury just as sweetly as she got to work, giving the girl a pink and white swirling boar themed face paint with a pair of tusks painted on the cheeks. As this girl's energy tingled inside her, Mercury felt great, knowing what it meant to be a mother in Nanny's eyes.Tuxedo mask picked his first choice quite quickly, this one being a guy in a Mega Sceptile sleeper with a Christmas outfit with the tail decorated just like a Christmas tree."Hiya! Do you wanna play?" said the guy as he eagerly perked up upon seeing Tuxedo Mask."Sure, when I'm done. We'll play tag in the sand pit before getting num nums," said Tuxedo Mask as he got to work quite quickly for this civilian, giving him a mostly green face paint with a set of Christmas ornament themed bits on the cheeks and forehead.The energy flowing into Tuxedo Mask felt great as a single thought went across his mind. "I'm a good big broder for any baby," he thought as he moved to the next candidate, this one being a girl in a Patamon sleeper with a set of pirate clothes, who was looking around as if she expected someone to show up."What's wrong?" asked Tuxedo mask."I wanna be a pirate with that girl in the orca sleeper. She seemed like a great pirate captain," said the girl as she shifted around nervously."She'll be ready by tomorrow and then you can play pirate all you want," said Tuxedo Mask as he ?got going on this one's face paint, the style being a brightly colored gold coin themed centre with a skull and crossbones done on each cheek."Yay! I can't wait to sail the seven seas!" said the girl as she hugged Tuxedo mask and he moved on to the next victim.The last victim was a boy in a scizor sleeper with a rather frilly black and white apron with a large outer diaper and bonnet. He waved at Tuxedo Mask, clearly happy to see him and get his face paint done.Tuxedo Mask got to work, giving the boy a green and white scyther themed face paint with a set of smiling Pikachu heads on both cheeks and a diaper mark on the forehead. "Scizore," (Thanks Momma Mask,) said the guy as he hugged Tuxedo mask, as a new thought pulsed through Tuxedo Mask's mind."I'm a good girly momma," he thought with a dim smile.Sailor Venus was clearly nervous about doing this, due to not wanting to fail and make Momma Nanny unhappy. Her first choice was a girl in a carebear sleeper with a clown themed maid outfit and a large feather duster attached to a rattle."Hi. Can I help you be a momma?" she asked, cutely."Sure," said Sailor Venus as she got to work on the face paint on the girl, this one being a colorful red, green and yellow splotchy face paint with a long blue nose on the girl's face."Yay! I'll make sure to make you smile Momma!" said the girl as she hugged Sailor Venus, causing the converted Senshi to smile deeply before she moved on to her next victim. This one was a girl in an owl sleeper with a red panda costume with a pair of large feathered wings."Can I help you make nice cuddly sleepers?" asked the girl sweetly as she shyly looked up at Sailor Venus."Of course. Now hold still," said the former Sailor Senshi as she got to work on this girl's face paint, giving her a red and white striped face paint with a pair of wings around the eyes. The girl blinked owlishly at this, causing Sailor Venus to giggle as she put on the finishing touch of a fake beak.She quickly moved on to her next victim, that of a person in a rather pudgy wolf sleeper with a pair of dragon wings, claws and horns with a plain hoodie and diaper."And here ya go!" said Sailor Venus as she gave the boy, a wolf themed face paint with red scale like markings and fake fangs."Do I get to help you take care of odder babies?" asked the kid a rather sleepy and whiney voice."Yep! Just wait until tomorrow so I can start your training," said Sailor Venus as she did one last touch of a black wolf like nose on the kid's own nose – feeling confident now, sure she would make Momma Nanny happy.Sailor Mars now looked over each of her potential choices, hoping to find a good baby for her to give attention to. Her first choice was a guy in a Sackboy sleeper with a lion/zebra fusion costume, clearly meant to fit with his sleeper. "Hi! I love all of the challenges in your dojo. Do you think I can do some of them after this?" he asked with a smile. "Sure," said Sailor Mars as she got to work, giving the boy a tan face paint with black and white cheeks, forehead stripes and fake fangs. Feeling this boy's energy flowing into her felt incredibly good to Sailor Mars and she quickly got to work on her next baby, hoping to feel that sensation of being a good mother once again.Her next choice was a boy in a seal sleeper with a poorly fitting business suit, pants and ties with oversized glasses on his face. "Can I watch some cartoons after you get done?" he asked shyly, clearly nervous about getting attention from Sailor Mars."Of course!" said Sailor Mars, as she got to work, giving him a blue and grey face paint with a set of dots on his cheeks.The energy flowing into Sailor Mars felt extra good this time and she hastily moved on to her final victim, that of a girl in a Litleo sleeper and a John Darling outfit complete with a nightshirt, top hat, glasses and umbrella."Hi. Can I go exploring after this is done?" she asked sweetly, as she blushed upon seeing Sailor Mars."Of course!" said Sailor Mars, quickly getting to work with giving this girl her face paint, a simple green and white with a pair of butterfly wings on each cheek. As this girl's energy flowed into Sailor Mars, she felt so good – she knew doing this was the right thing to do.Sailor Jupiter was up next, clearly feeling eager about all of this, as she danced from foot to foot and headed to her first face paint choice.She approached a girl in a Mime jr. sleeper and a colorful clown outfit."Oh goodie! Another new circus member! Wanna have fun together after I get done?" asked Sailor Jupiter eagerly as she saw the girl."Sure!" said the girl as Sailor Jupiter got to work, giving the girl a red, yellow and green face paint with two white dots on the eyes and a blue clown nose.She quickly moved on to her next victim, a guy in a eevee sleeper and plush lion costume with a lion tamer outfit. "Hi. Do I get to tame plushies and do the tight rope in your circus?" he asked as he smiled at Sailor Jupiter."Sure you can!" said Sailor Jupiter as she got to work, giving this guy a black and white eevee themed face paint with a large smiling lion face on his nose.Jupiter then moved on to her next victim that of a guy in a Tyrant Dragon sleeper with a red and white apple themed clown outfit."Hi! Do you think you can let me into your circus? I always did like showing my flying skills to others," said the guy, smiling and blushing nervously at Sailor Jupiter."Of course. Now hold still," asked Sailor Jupiter, as she got to work giving this guy a red and white themed face paint with a set of stars on both cheeks, eyes, nose and forehead. "This is going to be fun!" shouted Sailor Jupiter, jumping up with excitement as soon as she finished.Sailor Saturn looked around, wanting to see someone who wasn't already taken.Seeing a guy in a Taomon sleeper and teacher outfit who wasn't already taken by another Sailor Senshi, she moved towards him and said, "Hiya!""Hi, can I join the sleeper senshi after you get done?" he asked as he showed off his large ruler and paintbrush."Sure. Now hold still," said Sailor Saturn as she got to work, giving this guy a mostly yellow face paint with a large book painted on the guy's left eye. The energy flowing into Sailor Saturn made her all tingly inside, and she moved on to her next victim – a girl in a daisy duck sleeper and a frilly one piece dress and bonnet."Can I also join the sleeper senshi? I wanna help people experience momma Nanny's love," said the girl as she gazed up at the larger Sailor Saturn."Sure. I'll train both you and him personally," responded the dragon suited sailor senshi as she got to work - giving this girl a white and pink face paint with blue eyeliner and a large duck bill as the finishing touch.The last victim was a guy in a Barney sleeper and red power ranger costume with a hippo themed helmet."Hiya! I also wanna join the sleeper senshi. Do you think you'd be willing to train me too?" he asked as he giggled nervously."Yeppers!" said Sailor Saturn as she got to work, giving this guy, a green and yellow themed face paint with a power coin symbol done on the left cheek. The energy now flowing into Sailor Saturn, made her all giddy with excitement as her tail wagged eagerly from side to side.Sailor Uranus had already made up her mind on her first choice, and headed over to a girl in a terror bird sleeper, with rainbow colored feathers built into the sleeper and a pink showgirl outfit."It's my favorite Sailor Senshi. I wanna be just a good a singer as you when I get out of here," said the girl with a warm smile, gazing up at the corrupted Sailor Senshi.Then I'll just have to give you some lessons once me and my fwiends are all done here," replied Sailor Uranus as she got to work on the face paint. She decided on giving the girl a rainbow colored face paint with a feather themed eye mask pattern and a faux beak.As Uranus felt this energy flow into her, she felt great for being such a good mother and soon headed to her next choice, a girl in a tortoise sleeper with a set of Chinese robes and a large staff."Hello. Can I learn how to take care of babies, like you and the sleeper senshi?" she asked, looking up hopefully at Sailor Uranus."Yep. Now hold still," cautioned Sailor Uranus, as she got to work on giving the girl a set of green spotted face paint with the Chinese symbol for mother written on the girl's nose.The energy flowing into Uranus felt twice as good now and she felt even more warm and comfy with her sleeper as she moved on to her final face paint choice in the room, that of a boy in a Phoenixmon sleeper with a set of baby blue and red dress clothes complete with a top hat."Hello. Do you wanna be fwiends?" he asked sweetly, shyly looking up at the former hero and shuffling his feet."Of course. I'm fwiends with all of Momma Nanny's babies," said Sailor Uranus as she got to work on this kid's face paint, giving him a red, orange and yellow flamed face paint with a picture of herself on the left side of his face, kissing him on the cheek.Now the energy flowing into Sailor Uranus felt almost intoxicating and she soon wanted more of such a rush. "I better help other babies feel Momma Nanny's love really soon," she thought, as she nervously shifted around.Sailor Neptune eagerly flopped around, ready to have some fun, face painting her own set of victims. She soon got to her first choice that of a guy in a Boston terrier sleeper with a Tinker Bell outfit."Hiya. Are you gonna do my face paint?" asked the boy as he looked down at Sailor Neptune."Sure! I'll get this done in a jiffy! Plushie Fishies!" called Sailor Neptune.At her order, a set of floating plush fishes appeared from out of nowhere and picked up the brush and several jars of face paint. They soon got to work on giving the boy a set of mostly white face paint with a few black pieces here and there and a large set of blue butterfly wings on his eyes.Sailor Neptune smiled as she watched the guy admire his face paint in the mirror, and moved to her next choice - that of another guy in a coyote sleeper and pirate outfit with a black skull and crossbones themed outer diaper."Yar, I do hope I meet the girl from the pageant. She seemed like a fine pirate captain," he said as he chuckled a bit at Sailor Neptune's childish eagerness."I'll make sure to introduce you to her tomorrow morning. There's going to be some big changes that day!" said Sailor Neptune as her plushie fishies got to work, quickly applying a coyote themed face paint with a skull and crossbones, parrot and treasure chest symbol spread out on his forehead, nose and chin.Neptune and the boy laughed with each other at a face paint job well done and she soon moved on to her last choice in the room, that of a girl in a milotic sleeper with a large Christmas stocking styled romper."Well, well, well. Another fun friend! Let's go play in the water park sometime," said Sailor Neptune with a large smile as she got to work with the face paint, giving the girl a look themed to her sleeper with a set of Christmas ornament spots on her cheek, nose, chin and eyelids. As the energy flowed into Neptune, she went into an almost maniacal fit of giggling, feeling so good and tingly inside from being such a good mother in her own distorted view of the world.Sailor Pluto shyly looked around, clearly wanting to take part in face painting but not wanting to play favorites with just three babies.After seeing most of the other Sailor Senshi complete their face paint jobs, she moved to her first choice - that of a girl in a snivy sleeper and a set of water themed servant's clothes with a bonnet and ruffled collar."Hi," said the girl, yawning loudly, clearly sleepy as she shifted in the chair she was in like it was a bed.Sailor Pluto just smiled and soon got to work giving the girl a green and blue swirling face paint with a leaf symbol on her lips. Sailor Pluto soon moved on to her next victim, that of a girl in a wolf sleeper not too dissimilar from her own. The girl was wearing a set of plastic knight armor with a set of pantaloons, a red hat and tail coat."Can I be your helper after all dis?" he asked sweetly, also seeming tired after a long day of playing and having fun."Of course," responded the former Sailor Senshi as she got to work on the face paint, making it similar to her own face paint apart from the orange and red streaks on the cheeks and eyes.Sailor Pluto soon moved on the only remaining victim, a girl in an inflated swan sleeper with a set of poorly fitting lifeguard clothes.Noticing how the girl was already asleep, Sailor Pluto did her face paint job gently, giving her a set of white and pink face paint with a few streaks of gold on her lips and eyes."Well that was fun. Think we should do more?" asked Sailor Jupiter, looking rather disturbingly eager to drain the energy of more people for Momma Nanny."Of course! Perhaps you should start with the babies you did at the pageant before doing the babies in their crib! I bet they want a nice long nap after such a hard day," said Nanny eagerly as she smiled at how thoroughly corrupted the Sailor Senshi were."We'll do it momma!" said Sailor Pluto as the group filed out of the room, leaving Nanny to smile at how easy this was. Soon, everything would change in her favor. She just had to wait a little bit longer for even more delicious energy to be absorbed by her.…At this point, all of the heroes who had ventured into Nanny’s dungeon were now thoroughly zonked.All of them stared intently at the countless rainbow images thrown across the darkened room thanks to a fancy projector. The images consisted of things like diapers, sleepers and pacifiers and phrases like, “Obey Nanny,” “I wuv my diapee,” or “Momma Wuvs you.” After several hours of such messages constantly being played, the would be heroes were now thoroughly brainwashed long before the lights came on and the sleeper Senshi came in.“But I wiked da pwetty wights,” said Adam sleepily as he rubbed his eyes with one hand and sucked his mittened thumb with another.“Well, you’re getting your face paint jobs to make sure everyone knows Momma loves you sweetie,” said Sailor Moon as she headed over to Adam first with her own easel and brush for face paint. She soon got to work, giving Adam a black and white face paint styled after the pokemon Chatot, with a winking chatot on Adam’s forehead and a faux beak to complete the look.“He looks so pwetty!” exclaimed Ladyborg.“I wanna be next! Dragonite!” said Tommy with a wide giddy smile on his face.“Don’t worry, we’ll get all of you,” said Sailor Pluto sweetly as she made her way to Karato. He was given a set of green, white, brown and pink circle face paint styled to look like ice cream with a cherry spot right on the nose. Karato blinked slowly as he raised his hands up, causing Pluto to smile as she picked him up and gently rubbed his belly.Billy was up next, clearly excited as Sailor Jupiter got to work on his face, giving him a purple and orange fox themed face paint with white lipstick and eyeshadow. As soon as Sailor Jupiter was done, Billy felt a tingling on his thigh. A quick glance to his thigh revealed his hopes had come true. He had gained his own cutie mark! It was a picture of his old human self in a blue tutu and a large heart surrounding his face. “My cutie mark is perfect! I’ll make sure to live up to it!” he shouted eagerly as he hugged Sailor Jupiter suddenly in joy.Kamen Rider Sting was next, with Sailor Uranus singing to him as she did it to keep him calm. At this point, Sting was stuck in an all fours position but Uranus quickly finished his face paint, with a set of red and black rose petal themed face paint with plastic fangs and a large venus claptrap taking up the left side of his face. Sting just growled slightly in pleasure, his pupils becoming slitted as thoughts of hoarding all sorts of plush and babyish things occupied his every thought.Chibiusa's first project was Kamen Rider Onyx. “Can I work as your butler after this?” asked the former rider, looking rather nervous.“Of course. You can be the head majordomo of plushies and candy,” said Sailor Chibiusa as she got to work on giving Onyx’s face paint, a Zorua themed face paint with a set of painted on tears coming from the eyes and going down to the cheeks.Sailor Mercury was busy working on Kamen Rider Torque, who cooed and made various noises in poke speak as he looked around in a daze. Sailor Mercury just chuckled at the former hero’s new innocence, giving him a red, white and purple face paint themed after his sleeper and outfit with a quartet of green circles on his cheeks. The very instant she was done, Torque seemed to come out of his haze to notice her and give her a large gooey hug that Mercury returned in kind.Sailor Venus was up next, heading over to a rather nervous looking Josephine as she got her brush ready. “Don’t worry. Momma Nanny will always love you after this is done,” said Venus, causing Jo to look much calmer as Venus got to work, giving her an orange, yellow, brown and white Lopunny and Floatzel themed face paint job. As the last stroke of paint was laid, Josephine felt completely relieved that Momma Nanna would love her forever, though this relief might have also been based on the fact she just wet herself.Sailor Mars was currently in front of Kamen Rider Thrust, who giggled and cooed like an overgrown baby as Sailor Mars gave him a light tickle with her sleeper’s tail before taking her brush to his face, giving him a gold and silver kitsune themed face paint with a set of streaks near the eyes. As this was done, Thrust’s eyes glowed with energy as several dancing fox spirits appeared near him and started tickling him.Tuxedo Mask was now working on Fireborg, who obediently sat up and waited for Mask to be done. Mask was done relatively quickly, giving Fireborgs a face paint job themed after his sleeper apart from a set of mint green dots and streaks in the face paint. “I hope I can help you take care of other babies,” said Fireborg as he sat up expectantly.“Don’t worry. You’ll get your chance,” said Mask as the two hugged each other, their diapers crinkling under the pressure.Sailor Saturn would be in front of Jason, who panted with dog like excitement as he squirmed around in glee from getting attention from one of the Sailor Senshi.“You’re certainly a nice friendly puppy,” said Saturn as she scratched Jason’s chin, causing his tail to wag in pleasure as she got to work on his face paint job. She ended up giving him a red and white design styled after the dragon Valoo from Legend of Zelda wind waker with a painted on visor and two spots on the cheeks. Sailor Saturn admired her work, but couldn't help thinking that something was still missing. Noticing Jason’s tongue was still hanging out as he panted, she smiled at remembering what she missed - and painted the entire tongue silver and grey with the image of a dragon and dog playing on top of the tongue. Saturn soon went for giving Jason a huge belly rub, saying, “Who’s a good puppy? You are! Yes you are!” as Jason smothered Saturn’s face with doggie kisses.Sailor Neptune was now busy getting ready to do Kat as she flopped up to her with a set of floating plushie fish holding the paintbrush in their mouth. “Yar, a fellow creature of the sea. I presume you’ll show me to my new crew of pirates once we’re done here?” asked Kat, sounding eager to be on the job.“Sure! Now hold still,” said Neptune as her fish got to work, giving Kat a yellow and green splotchy face paint themed after her orca sleeper in terms of structure. As soon as the final dab of paint was laid on Kat’s face, her eyes briefly glazed over as her new mindset took complete control of her former adult mind.Sailor Neptune then moved on to Kamen Rider Wing Knight, who honestly looked rather sleepy as he rubbed his eyes and yawned loudly.Sailor Neptune just giggled softly and had her plush fish servants got to work on his face paint, giving him Road Runner looney tunes face paint with a set of Team Aqua symbols on both nose and cheeks. Wing Knight yawned loudly once she was done, and was given a paci to suck on as his eyes glazed over.At that point, Sailor Chibiusa had moved on to Lightning borg, who looked up at her expectantly. “So, Ah suppose, I’ll get mai own kingdom after all dis?” he asked, as he shifted a bit in his sleeper to get comfortable.“Yeppers! It’s right next to mine, so we can be fwiends,” said Chibiusa as she swiftly got to work, giving him a set of orange face paint with a set of painted on freckles and a faux unicorn horn attached to his forehead. As soon as this was done, Lightningborg felt the horn tingle with magical energy, meaning he could use it’s power any time.As for Sailor Uranus, she had gone to work on Ladyborg after working on Sting. Like Sting, Ladyborg was now stuck in an all fours position as she eagerly smiled at the song Uranus was singing. Sailor Uranus did her work quickly, giving her a white and black face paint styled after her sleeper with a few purple and green scale like markings done just below the eyes and on the cheeks. Ladyborg smiled throughout the entire sessions, before giving Uranus a smooch on the cheek and giggling softly as Uranus tickled her chin in retaliation.Sailor Moon was now in front of Roland, who fidgeted from excitement about getting attention from anyone connected with Nanny. “Now, hold still. This will only be a second,” assured Moon as she picked up a paintbrush.“I know. I’m just so excited about getting so much love,” said Roland as he blushed. Usaji made sure it did only take a second, giving a set of Kigurumiko styled face paint done up in various shades of purple and pink like Twilight Sparkle.Sailor Saturn had now moved on to Tommy at this point, who eagerly smiled like a six year old who had just pleased a parent. “I hope I can cuddle with some other babies after this. Dragonite nite,” Tommy said happily, as Saturn, held up her brush.“Don’t worry. After this, you’ll have all sorts of baby siblings,” said the former sailor senshi, giving Tommy a set of face paint colored blue and green with a cartoonish smiling Salamence take up most of the right side of Tommy’s face.Tuxedo Mask had also chosen a new person to face paint, this one being Lacey Sheridan. The converted human smiled eagerly, clearly wanting to say some form of joke, but knowing she shouldn’t talk lest she mess up Mask’s face paint job.Tuxedo Mask got to work swiftly, giving her a pink and brown squirrel themed face paint with a set of painted on black coke bottle glasses and fake buck teeth. “Yay! Do I get to make everyone laugh now?” asked Lacey eagerly as her sleeper’s tail twitched eagerly in excitement.“Yep, you certainly do!” said Mask as he picked up Lacey in a hug and nuzzled her face.Sailor Pluto had now started on Ninjor, who smiled as his fairy godplushies gushed and cooed at how cute he was and what a good boy he was being for Momma Nanny.Pluto’s choice of face paint for Ninjor was a brown and grey face paint themed after his sleeper with fake fangs and a set of orange and red clown spots on both eyes and cheeks. Ninjor sneezed after the last stroke of paint was placed and just giggled slightly as a hissing noise was heard from his waist.At this point Moon was working on Andrew, who seemed to be half asleep considering how he rubbed his eyes and yawned loudly. Moon just smiled, cooing nonsense to him as she lightly applied the face paint, making it like the mask of his beetleborg armor with a brown and green splotchy color scheme and a set of leaves framing his face.Andrew rolled over after she was done and was soon asleep, snoring slightly as a hissing sound could be heard from him.Jupiter was now working on Rocky next, who sat on all fours, expectantly, ready for his face paint. “Don’t worry, Derpy DeSantos, I’ll make you look so pretty, everyone will want muffins from you!” said the former sailor senshi eagerly.“Goodie!” said Rocky as Jupiter got to applying the face paint, giving him a set of grey face paint themed after his Derpy Hooves sleeper with a pair of blueberry muffins painted on both cheeks.Mars was now working on Incisor, who fidgeted from incredibly excitement as he wondered what his face paint would be. “Don’t fidget. You don’t want me to mess up your face paint now, would you?” asked Mars sweetly.“Yeah, I know but I’m just so excited, said Richie with a blush.“Don’t worry, I’ll make sure to be done soon,” said Mars as she picked up the brush and got to work, giving Incisor a Pink and white Shiba Inu styled face paint along with a tongue design on the right side of his face.“It’s perfect! Thanks Auntie Mars!” said Incisor as he gaze Mars a big hug.As for Mercury, she had now moved on to Maya, who looked rather shy about getting attention from one of Nanny’s favorite babies. “Don’t be shy, little one, I’ll make sure to give you lots of love and kisses,” said Mercury. She gave Maya a quick peck on the cheek before she got to work on giving Maya her face paint, drawing a white bunny with fancy yellow eyeliner, eyeshadow and lipstick.“Tank you momma,” said Maya as she blushed sweetly as Mercury, gave her a nose boop.Now Saturn had moved on to Tanya, who sat still, clearly eager to please if the small smile on her face was any indication. Saturn would ultimately give her a yellow and white face paint with a scale themed pattern styled after sleeper and an overall design similar to her ranger helmet. The finishing touches were a set of fake antlers, fangs and long trailing whiskers that reached to the back of her quadrupedal form. “Thank you. I hope to please you and Momma Nanny,” said Tanya with a smile.Josh was next, handled by Tuxedo Mask as he mooed excitedly, hoping to look extra pretty. Mask had a giggle at Josh’s excitement and didn't waste time on deciding on what face paint he would give the former beetleborg, settling for a brown and white cow themed make up with a set of fake cow horns on his forehead. “Tank you Mooma Mask,” said Josh as he hugged Mask.“Of course. Anything for a good girlie baby,” responded the former hero as he rubbed Josh’s neck.Chibiusa moved on to Wing Knight who sat up expectantly as the princess dressed Senshi approached him.“Do I get to be a loyal steed for one of your knights?” he asked hopefully, his tail wagging eagerly.“Sure! I got a stable all set up for my favorite dino-knight,” replied Chibiusa with a giggle as she got to work, giving Wing Knight a red and black face paint with a set of hazard signs painted on both cheeks and nose.Pluto had now reached Camo, who panted eagerly at the thought of getting his face painted like a good baby. Pluto got straight to work, giving Camo a blue and white face paint themed after his sleeper with a pair of howling Poochyena on both cheeks and a green colored face paint on his tongue with a bow symbol on it.“I’m a good puppy brother to Auntie Sailor Puppy,” thought Camo, dimly, as he nodded his head when Pluto asked him if he wanted a treat for being so good.Moon had moved on to Strike, who was waving his wand like a conductor’s baton, clearly excited about getting his face paint done and learning how to sleepervolve other cute plushie digimon. Usaji was quite swift in her work, giving Strike a Manga Ryu Ran styled face paint with the evolution symbol painted on his forehead.“You’ve been a really good baby! Wanna know just how to sleepervolve someone?” asked Moon with a smile.“Yes!” said Strike eagerly.“Just tap your wand to your forehead symbol and then to the person you want to sleepervolve,” said Moon as she gave Strike a bottle of milk to suck on. “It's easy!”Currently Mercury was now focused on doing Wrath’s face paint as he sat up, ready to learn how to give other babies their face paint by having it done to himself. Mercury just giggled at Wrath’s rather eager face and promptly got to work, giving Wrath a purple and green face paint styled after Spike the Dragon with a orange and yellow painted on masquerade mask with a spiky lightning bolt theme to it.“What do you think?” asked Mercury as she held up a mirror to show Wrath his new face. It looks perfect. I hope I can equal it, if given a chance,” said Wrath as he smiled warmly.Mars was working on Dragonborg, who was currently admiring a large rattle - with the rest of a hoard of baby toys, plushies and diapers now held under his stomach.“Okay, it’s time to give you your face paint now,” said Mars, breaking Dragonborg out of his daze.“Okay. I really hope I can make my hoard bigger after this,” yawned Dragonborg.“Momma Nanny will be more than happy to take care of that,” she said, quickly going to work at giving Dragonborg a white and purple Rarity themed face paint - embellished with a gothic lolita twist and a pacifier painted on to the lips. Dragonborg’s eyes became slitted after this, his dragonish mindset now taking complete hold over him.Sailor Jupiter now moved on to Spear, arriving as he and his plushie heads all argued over what the best face paint design would be.“I say we should get a red and black dragon themed face paint,” said the dragon head.“Nah, how about a pink and yellow neko girl themed face paint?” suggested the lion head.“Perhaps a vaporeon themed face paint?” said the Goat head.“I want to have a orange and green clown face paint,” said the snake head.“I wanna Yanmega face paint with fake mandibles and a sun and moon symbol,” said Spear as Jupiter picked up the brush.“How about, I give each of you silly billies what you want?” said Jupiter as she applied the face paint quite swiftly, giving each face the face paint they desired in a matter of seconds.“Wow! Thank you Auntie Jupiter!” said the head’s in unison as the hugged Jupiter, who proceeded to rub their tummy, eliciting a loud rumblepurr from them.Venus stood over Axe – the final remaining hero - who giggled and cooed, clearly wanting to play dress up more than to fight.Venus just smiled before saying, “Hush now, little one. I’ll be done in just a second,” giving him a pink and tan striped face paint with a white raccoon mask on his face. As soon as the last stroke was finished, all of the other heroes sat up, clearly expecting something.“So what now?” asked Andrew, who still looked pretty sleepy as he rubbed his face, his face paint not even smudging due to it’s magical nature.“We’ll, show you. Follow us,” said Pluto as she the other senshi led the group out of the nursery and through the various areas the heroes had went through, clearly not in any rush. Each of the heroes remembered the areas, though their comments suggested their memories had been thoroughly corrupted at this point.“Hey, dat’s where Auntie Jupiter dressed me up!” said Axe as they went past the circus tent.“Dat’s where Auntie Moon found me running around naked,” said Andrew with a blush as they went through the streets of Nanny’s Crystal Tokyo.“This is where I trained to be a good pokemon,” said Fireborg as they went past the pokemon center.“Dere’s where I first got me sea legs,” mentionedt Kat as they went through the water park.Soon, the heroes were right at the entrance of the dungeon with the writing that detailed the Sailor Senshi’s corruption. The Kous, Fixitails and Slow Pallas were there along with Princess Crinklelala in her Diaper material Ferret sleeper and clown outfit, Vesta dooby doo in her Scooby doo sleeper and Velma outfit, The Six Sleeperpierrots each neopet plushie member with their signature diaper bulges and hippo clown outfits, Perurulula in his klonoa sleeper and articuno costume and Jelly Ceres in her jellyfish sleeper and Suicune themed priestess outfit.“So, what’s here? It looks rather plain,” said Jason, and absently raised his leg as he wet himself.“It’s got a pretty awesome secret! Ready?” shouted Jupiter as the corrupted senshi and their allies snapped to attention.“Ready!” shouted the other corrupted Sailor Senshi as they placed their hands to each of them symbols on the wall representing their names. Each of the symbols glowed with a pink light, and a trap door near the entrance was revealed.“So what’s down here?” asked Billy intently as the group all waddled down the stairs to get into a gigantic chamber with a large glowing pink crystal heart.“This is the Nanny Chrono Crystal, the most sacred artifact of the Sleeper Senshi. With all of the love from Momma Nanny and her babies stored inside of it, it can fill the whole world with Momma Nana’s love after we all do the sacred Nana chant,” said Pluto.As she spoke, each of the Senshi went to the crystal and placed their hands on the crystal with the rest of the heroes doing the same.“Now repeat after me,” said Sailor Jupiter as each of the heroes got ready to begin the chant.“Nanny, Nanny Yay! Best Monster Momma, Hip, hip hooray! Loving Plushie sleeper giver yay! Best Diapee changer, Hip Hip Hooray! Cuddly Hippo Momma, Yay! Loves all her babies, Hip Hip Hooray!” shouted all of the heroes as the crystal hummed with energy with each syllable of the chant.With the last syllable, everything went away in a gigantic pink flash.…“And that’s how everything went back to normal,” said Nanny as she closed the book, in front of the crowd of six people all in sleepers, outfits and face paint.“Dat was an awesome story, momma!” said a guy in a diaper sleeper of equal parts cow and fox with a pink and green face paint, with a large Nanny face on his left eye and a wizard outfit complete with a staff and hat. “Now I know how come the Great Play Area was so important an' why Sailor Dragon set it up!”“My favorite part was when Torgoo learned what it meant to be a good pokemon. Farfetched, far,” said a girl in a Farfetched sleeper with a set of brown power rangers armor, a fancy leek themed sword and an orange and black halloween themed face paint with a large pumpkin painted on the lips. “It's why sleepervolving got discovered, Fetch!”“I think my favorite hero was Lady Crinkle Claw. She knows what it means to be a proper baby dragon,” said another guy in a Zack and Wheezie dragon tales sleeper, clad in a themed onesie and purple and green face paint with a set of fangs and diaper symbols on the cheeks.He nodded. “An' I learned how at Wyvern Peak with momma griffin and papa wyvern, an' Black Rose an' Suna! They have da best hoard!”“Do we get to meet dem all after tonight?” asked a kid in a sheep sleeper with a waiter outfit and a Princess Celestia themed face paint tipped with a half sun and moon symbol on the nose. “I wanna see da farm, 'cause it was a neutral place in da big war!”“I wonder why all the world was so silly and didn’t like sleepers, diapees or Momma Nana?” asked a little girl in a Wurmpletaur sleeper with a Sylveon upper half, dressed in a set of kirin themed armor and french bulldog themed face paint. She stretched, wondering about whether she could visit the Cuddle Cathedral to see if there was a clue there.“Or why the other Nanny Heroes like Nanna or Cuddle Bear didn’t do more for you,” added a guy in a rainbow scaled koi sleeper with a fancy kimono, large fan and face paint themed towards his sleeper with a large pair of whiskers. “Were they all tuckered out after the big fight between the Sissybutts and the Poofs?”“Dat’s why Momma saved the world with her love. She’s the best Momma ever!” said a girl in a Koala sleeper with a set of magical girl clothes with a heron theme. “She stayed super good even after the bad magic nearly got everyone!”“That’s right. Now go to sleep now. You got a big day of training with the Nanny Heroes tomorrow,” smiled Nanny as she turned off the lights and the mobile came on.“Okay,” said the group as they all snuggled into their plushie filled crib and Nanny walked out, knowing that with this next generation believing her version of the truth, history would remember her as the most important momma ever.After all, if you got to teach history, you got to say what it was...THE END... ................
