Part Six: One Mystery Solved
"So, first, let's get some legal issues cleared up," said Blue Impact, scowling down at the fake. "Are you a legal resident of that estate?"
"Yes," said the shapely young woman, looking distraught and miserable as she lay on the rocky ground, wrapped in a makeshift Faraday cage.
"Do you give us permission to escort you to where you have the Wishstone hidden?"
"Yes!"
"Good. Let's go, then. We'll try to sneak in - I'm assuming no-one there knows about your little masquerade?"
"You think I would tell someone I've been turning into a girl and parading around in a fetish costume?!"
"You admit it!" yelled Energia, getting angry all over again.
"Later!" snapped Blue Impact. She looked back down at the fake Energia. "Okay, we're going to take you down there. We're keeping you wrapped; I'll carry you. Try anything and you better believe we'll drop you off with the police as is. Got it?"
"Yes, Ma'am," said the faux woman, timidly.
Fortunately for Gregory the Wishstone was still where it had been left. This was inside a remote storage shed which Gregory had turned first into a shrine dedicated to Energia, and then used as a headquarters for getting revenge against her.
"Unbelievable," said Blue Impact, looking around the inside of the shed at the photos and artwork. "You realize some of this might count as child pornography?"
"All the models are 18 or older!" said Gregory, firmly. "As for the art, well, if there's not a real child involved, there's no crime."
"I'll show you crime," said Energia, blushing furiously, as she reached for one of the posters of a buxom model dressed approximately as her.
"No! Energia, stop! That's his property, and no matter how disgusting it is - and that one over there is really disgusting, you pervert! - you'd be guilty of vandalism."
"You realize you could get arrested just for bringing us in here, right, teach?" said Gadgetive, smirking.
"Let's try to stay on track!" snapped Blue Impact, uncomfortable and feeling rushed for several reasons. "Someone may have seen the travel pod. We need to get Gregory back in the right form and out of here before anybody comes to see what's going on. The last thing we need is more complications."
Gregory, still over Blue Impact's shoulder, directed them to an old safe by a desk in a back corner. Reluctantly, she gave the combination, which Gadgetive used to open the safe. One of the items inside was an antique wooden box, about the size of a recipe box.
"That's it," said Gregory, with a sad sigh.
"Now, I'm going to open the box and put it where you can touch it with your hand. You wish yourself back to normal and nothing else!"
She put Gregory on the floor and opened the box. The actual Wishstone was a small, engraved tablet, shaped roughly like a large eraser.
"But, I..." said Gregory.
Blue Impact suddenly shoved the open box at her hand, then started immediately to pull away.
"Wait!" shrieked Gregory, frantically reaching for the stone.
There was a momentary contact, and suddenly the figure in the net was the young man they had seen before.
