Abortion? Seriously (IIRC) 1) Take the item that screwed things up and Parent it to the Universe (or to nothing; same end result, IIRC). 2) Take the invisible figure and restore it's parenting to what it originally was (you may have to re-position it first). 3) Re-parent the ax to the CORRECT figure's hand (I THINK you parented it to the hidden figure - I've done that myself with similar results, but I usually wound up screwing something ELSE and had to start over...).
