It took us two days of preparation, but our plan was finally done. We were going to leave that baby pound no matter what. First, all the babies collectively pooped their diapers and cried at the same time… That caused a stir around the facility, so the caretakers barged in leaving the door of the playroom unattended.
“Alright, alpha team, your turn.” - Alpha team - composed of toddlers age 3, placed a scarecrow we built out of Legos, play-doh and plush into the door
“This door works much like an elevator opening and closing… So… If the scarecrow is long enough the sensors should detect him… Thus…” - My prediction confirmed itself as the decoy kept the door open
“Alright, let’s roll, beta team!” - I said as we drove our velocipedes into the door, only the fastests babies, and since there was no caretaker paying attention to us, we managed to room around the facility
“I can’t believe that jerk decided to save money on security cameras…” - I sighed as we traveled the hallways
“Lester gave us intel… Apparently Doctor Warten isn’t left unsupervised by the mayor, but his lab at the end of the hallway does. It’s protected by a digital lock, but I have a plan.” - I said as we reached our final destination.
	I applied baby powder on the lock and pressed play-doh on it… It worked! The door opened itself to reveal the Doctor’s lab. The walls displayed scientific research, the board had calculus and devices could be found labeled everywhere.
	“Find anything helpful at all.” - I said as the babies began to search the lab which was conveniently sized for toddlers.
“I found something!” - Said Rafa
The gun was labeled age ray… It had designs and a roulette much like an old phone, weirdly enough… No adult setting, but they were all developmental phases of babyhood. Newborn, Infant, baby and toddler.
“Maybe… That is the ray they used on Ben…” - Rafa said
“You think it will work? I mean… He can be any younger… Literally… Maybe if we blast him with the toddler setting, we can at least talk to him?” - A male baby asked
“We are definitely keeping this… We could threaten our way to freedom and fix Ben.” - I concluded - “Keep looking for anything.”
Another toddler raised his hand.
“Yes?” - I asked
“I pooped on my diaper.” - the toddler said
“That diaper will have to hold longer… We still are not out.” - I said
“Buh… I don’t want a rash!” - the toddler complained
“I pooped myself back in the hallway and I am not crying, so stop complaining!” - Rafa said
“I found something!” - I said as a picked up a card
"What 's that?” - Asked Rafa
“Our freedom. It’s the badge that Warten uses to get through the front door!” - I answered
“Cool, but the front door is guarded, didn’t Lester say that after he crawled the ventilation shaft?” - Rafa asked
“He did, but that weapon of ours may help…” - I answered
“WHAT? You can’t be serious. I hate being a toddler, I don’t want that happening to my enemies too.” - Rafa said rather angry
Sadly our search was interrupted by two security guards, probably sent to track us down. 
“You brats!” - Screamed a security guard ready to pick me up but he was zapped by a ray until becoming a babbling infant
I looked at Rafa surprised as he zapped  another guard into another six month old
“Rafa? I thought you were against babying people.” - I asked
“I am, but if being right means spending more time at the pound, then I am blasting everyone into an infant if necessary. Now let 's MOVE!” - Rafa answered
We jumped back into the velocipedes and we pedal our way through the hallway, blasting every resistance into infants, much like us they seemed conscious, but could barely say a word outside of babbling and just crawl, making the efforts useless.
We were getting very close to the entrance.
“I can almost taste freedom!” - Rafa said rather happily
“Hmm… Why can I understand the infant guards?” - I asked
“Apparently, we are young enough to remember their language.” - Said Lester as he catch up to us after freeing the rest of the babies through the ventilation shaft, he also somehow carried Ben and the velocipede
“Baby babble is a language? This means Baby Geniuses was right…” _ said rather baffled
We blasted two more guards and I opened the gate using the ID, we were… Stranded? Turns out the place was on an island. 
“God damn it!” - I kicked sand - “We were so close!”	
“Hey guys…” - a male toddler called our attention - “Anyone knows how to ride a plane?”
We took a glance at where he pointed, the place had in fact a landing zone and a hangar. Luckily, a Plane was waiting at the dusty place.
“I do know how to ride a plane… I used to be a pilot when I was an adult…” - Said Lester as he gave Ben to someone else to hold - “I will just need two brooms, books, tape and and fresh NB diapers… Ben is stinky.”
I cannot believe that happened, but we flew a small airplane off the ground with diapered toddlers on the cabin crew. Lester managed to sit with the help of a few manuals and the items he asked for… Well good thing Lester showed up, I suck at Flight Simulator.
We managed to change Ben and ourselves… Clearly, changing diapers is an adult job, doing the tape job is far more difficult than it looks… We also saved on supplies before flying… Baby formula tastes like vanilla and aluminum, but it’s better than nothing, the confraternization on the plane was admittedly funny… Adult jokes get 10x funnier when you’re two years old.
“Alright.” - I finished my bottle and pointed the ray gun at Ben - “Let’s fix you up baby boy.”
I zapped Ben with the toddler setting, nothing happened. 
“Ma-Ma-Maybe… The baby setting will work…” - I tried to remain positive
I zapped again… No effect. Ben was stuck as an infant. Rafa bursted into tears once he realized the gun only regressed people.
“It’s NO FAIR!” - Cried Rafa - “I made Ben’s mind… He confronted the Mayor… All of it it’s my fault!” 
I comforted Rafa.
“You know… Ben is sadly stuck in NB diaper and formula city, but if we get back to Furtropolis… We could find him a nice home.” - I said
Rafa rubbed the tears off.
“You’re right. There is no point crying over the spilled milk now… If he is going to be stuck as an infant, I might as well leave him in a good home. It’s not like I can raise him, I am a baby too, you know?” - Rafa concluded
“Do you think we will find a cure to… Well… This?” - I asked as a gestured towards my Pampers
“I don’t know… I never thought of becoming an adult again. Just escape.” - Rafa answered
“I don’t wanna be stuck in baby land! I wanna use the potty and watch R rated movies.” - A male toddler said
“Yeah… And I wanna play Rated M games!” - Scream a toddler girl on the back
That whole discussion caused a lot of mumbling, we were interrupted by Lester on the speaker.
“Crew, this is your captain speaking… The good news is that we have reached Funtropolis and the Town Hall can be seen… The bad news is that we are going to crash on it! I forgot how to land so brace yourselves!” - Said Lester
Everyone picked a magazine or two, maybe a book and tightened the seat belt around its diapered waist… Clearly the babies who didn’t have that, looked for protection under the seats while holding down to the floats, some even hugged tight on the floor of the plane’s hallway. We crashed hard but thankfully none of the 100 babies we managed to fit on that one little plane were even bruised.
Luckily the mayor was having a meeting just at the moment, the plane full of babies surprised but didn’t hurt anyone. It felt like a movie scene as we got out of the plane and I pointed the ray gun at the mayor while Doctor Warten pretended to be a baby and  played with toys on a conveniently placed playpen.
“Alright, end of the line captain underpants! We got out of that place you trapped us and you better apologize and resign or I’ll shoot you into a cutesy looking newborn!” - I said triumphantly 
The meeting just stared at us, the mayor was admittedly mouth opened by a few minutes but it recomposed itself with a smug look.
“Go on. Try it. I dare you.” - The mayor said
I blasted him with a big zap after setting the ray to the newborn, unlike the guards… It had no effect.
“Foolish child. I am immune to the ray gun!” - The mayor said - “Security!”
A bunch of guards barged into the room and picked the babies, and we were corned.
“Nice try… I have to admire your guts, you escaped my facility and drove a plane into my office. Impressive for a bunch of toddlers, but this ends NOW!” - The mayor said as he pulled another ray gun out of his suit, it was identical but colored red
The mayor fired at all adults at the meeting, they regressed into newborns as well.
“Nobody will find out what happens here… You babies will be newborns by today, it’s much easier, there is virtually no resistance and I will have more AGM to work with!” - The mayor gave an inflamed speech - “Don’t worry, you will have the honor of being the first you brat, I will cradle you personally.” - The mayor said to me
It all seemed lost, but then I noticed Doctor Warten with a tablet? He was actually filming the whole thing live, That opportunity was… Too good.
“So that’s your plan? Capitalize on people’s desperation, turn them into babies and make money selling dirty diapers as fuel?” - I asked
“That’s… A gross summary, but you’re absolutely right.” - The mayor confirmed me
“Say cheese mayor!” - Warten screamed
“Cheese?” - The mayor turned around to find out he was caught by a toddler - “No! How you little? I set parental controls!” - The mayor was furious
“I have a QI of 200, that was child’s play to hack.” - Said Warten
A bunch of screams emanated from the window. A good portion of the city was protesting in front of the Town Hall by now and were very pissed at him!
“If I am going down… I am taking you brats with me!” - The mayor said as he blasted Warten into a newborn and pointed at me
**ZAP!**
