Inside the Vulgire, the Galactic Imperial Army had another meeting.

"Those hardworking adults keep Earth's economies alive," Dongoros said, "when a planet has an army of well-developed, highly-educated heroes, we can't win."

"Adults? Well-developed?" Doldora asked. "Speaking of adults, what if we turn them into babies? They'll become helpless."

"Oh yeah!" Dongoros said, "sounds excellent. Garoa, do we have any Baby Demon Beasts in store?"

Garoa nodded. "Yes! We do, so follow me to the Beast Unit," he said, and everyone followed him. Inside the Beast Unit, they asked Meadow to purchase a new Baby Demon Beast.

"Will do," Meadow replied, after their long discussion. "In addition to devastating the earth's economies, we can also turn the Fiveman rangers into babies!" She laughed.

"I'd like to see Hoshikawa Gaku in a diaper," Dongoros laughed. "And a pacifier!" Garoa laughed. "And he won't be able to talk!"

"Fumiya will no longer be the strongest Fiveman," a Batsura Combatant replied, "instead, we'll have fun seeing Fumiya and his twin sister as a baby again. They were babies when we took their parents away."

After all that laughing, Meadow gave the GIA a brand new demon beast - AkanbouGin - a demon beast who uses the Devil's Rattle to turn adults into babies. He wore a giant diaper, giant bib, giant bonnet, booties, but he looked half-human half-crocodile.

"Everyone, this is AkanbouGin," Meadow replied. "When he shakes his rattle near a workplace, the adults become babies."

AkanbouGin happily cooed, sipping his Devil's Milk bottle. Suddenly, he farted, and he began to cry.

"Uh oh, I think this beast needs a diaper change," Dongoros said, pinching his own nose. "He makes huge turds."

"Roger," Doldora replied, "and he's a humongous baby boy beast, so he might tinkle on my face a bit. While i'm changing his diaper, can anybody help?"

"HEE HEE!" the Batsura Combatants replied.

Garoa suddenly thought, if we turn the Fiveman rangers into babies, we'll target Ken first. He's the weakest and most shy Fiveman, you know.

The next day, Ken was teaching some students how to do a somersault indoors, inside the gym. It was too rainy for outside play, so the students enjoyed indoor gymnastics.

"Dave and Henry, I know it's really hard," Ken said, speaking to 2 new students from Portland, Oregon. The two new students families moved to Tokyo, due to their new jobs, and due to severe, GIA-related social unrest and mass starvation in Portland. The Fiveman rangers were always highly proficient in both Japanese and English.

"Don't worry, Ken," Henry smiled, with some little tears in his eyes. "If me and Dave try our best, we'll do our first somersaults." The gym had plenty of special gymnastics equipment - including giant fusion blocks.

Just outside the gymnastics door, AkanbouGin and his "mommy and daddy" (Doldora and Garoa) kept themselves dry, using an umbrella. They all wore earplugs, and AkanbouGin kept himself calm, suckling on a giant blue pacifier.

"AkanbouGin," Doldora replied, "shake all you got!" She smiled. Her baby boy shook his Devil's Rattle, smiling.

"Mommy and Daddy are really proud of you," Garoa smiled. To the entire gym's terror, in front of the kids eyes, Ken was turned into a baby boy.

The students gasped in terror.

"I can't believe it!" Dave cried. "Our teacher's a baby now?" Ken started to cry, no longer recognizing the gymnasium or where he was.

"We can't neglect him," Henry said, getting mad, "he's gotta be turned back into an adult, or we'll lose a teacher!"

"Worse," a girl student replied, "we could lose our entire planet. The Zone placed a spell on Ken." She gently picked up baby Ken, trying to calm him down.

"Everybody," the girl said, "please keep your voice level down. Loud noises disturb babies. If anybody has baby formula and a bottle to help feed this baby, please give it to him as soon as possible."

"Roger!" lots of students replied. Some students went to to local 100-yen store, buying baby necessities. Others brought fresh fruits and vegetables to purée in the cafeteria, to help further nurture him.

She also inspected his diaper, but it was dry. Turns out that Ken needed some toys and bottled formula. Luckily, kind students gave him exactly what he needed.

A boy student gave Ken a baby bottle, filled with formula and plain sheep milk yogurt drink. "To make this even healthier, I added a plain, pure sheep milk yogurt drink," the boy student said, as Ken sipped every drop. Ken giggled and cooed, and that same girl student gave him some baby toys, such as a plush bunny and a teething mitt.

However, Ken farted, and he was crying again. There was a strange smell. Everyone held their noses.

"P.U., it smells stinky in here," another girl student whispered.

"Ken probably did number 2," a boy student uttered under his breath.

Without further ado, the girl student took Ken to the teacher's women's bathroom - that place had two good diaper changing tables. As she changed Ken's diaper, Ken peed on her face. She stayed calm, wiping the pee off her face, carefully wiping poop off Ken's bottom. She put the wipes into the trash bin, and she put a new diaper on Ken. Ken became happier and smiled, being held in the girl's arms. But, just before she left the bathroom, some people stood in her way.

Thankfully, it wasn't a member from the Zone. It was Remi and Gaku. Keeping their voices low, they had to talk to the girl. The girl's name is revealed to be Hontomi.

"Hontomi," Gaku said, "you're Hontomi, right? I recognize you from Ken's P.E. classes." "Yes," Hontomi nodded.

"This must be a joke," Remi said. "Ken has been turned into a baby?"

"Apparently, yes," Hontomi replied, keeping Ken safe in her arms.

"Currently, there is a demon beast lurking around," Gaku replied, "I saw it in the news, but the news doesn't know it's name. It looks like a baby giant crocodile, and when it shakes a rattle, it turns people into babies."

"Other than the Fiveman rangers," Remi added, "the demon beast also turns other hardworking adults into babies. It's happening around the world too."

"If there are no hardworking adults left," Gaku added, "our economies, jobs, and societies will all collapse!"

"Hontomi, don't give up caring for Ken," Remi added, "Take care of him until we undo this spell. He must be turned back into an adult."

"Roger," Hontomi replied, keeping baby Ken safe. Gaku and Remi also alerted and congregated with Kazumi and Fumiya.

Back in the Vulgire, AkanbouGin was taking a nap, being pat gently by his "daddy" Garoa. Everyone smiled.

"Hey, Meadow," Dongoros said, "if we turn all hardworking adults of the world into babies, we can kidnap them and train them into becoming Zone servants."

"Dongoros, that sounds brilliant," Meadow replied. "We're experiencing a shortage of Zone combatants."

Arthur G6 was at home in the Magma Base, dusting and vacuuming while watching the news. After watching some weather reports and local event segments, he saw a frightening new segment: a news story about Hoshikawa Ken being turned into a baby.

"This can't be good!" Arthur said, as his heart sank. "Ken may be the weakest and most shy Fiveman ranger, but he does not deserve that curse. He was a P.E. teacher until this happened!"
