Author's Note: This story is soon coming to a close my friends. Though now right now enjoy more hermit craziness and cute moments between the delirious main world hermits. They just want to go homeeeee.

Also there is going to be a part one to a new story idea that will be submitted soon. It involves human versions of hybrid hermits, a merman, and a bunny. That's what I'll give ya'll so now ;)

Swap!Doc:

We all stood outside of the prison room, " So, how do we get out of here without drawing fire from Scar?" Wels questioned as he shifted the other Iskall in his arms. 

 Everyone thought for a moment as a cough came from Cub.

 " Go.... Door..." he lifted a finger towards the door he disappeared into earlier, " Monster.... Not there anymore.... secret passage.... ice boats.... home." he wrestled with his coat pocket, but he passed out in Ren's arms again. Ren pulled out a small slip from his pocket.

 " It's the password for the door." he read it over with a nod. Ren passed the note over to me. 

 I walked over to the door and typed in the passcode to the iron door that had been painted black. The door's keypad flashed green as the door opened. There was a small room that had writings of madness on the wall. 

 Everyone looked around. 

 The words like help, Cub, purple, crystal, and Beast lined the walls in scrawled letters. 

 Ren walked over to a chest and opened it with his tail, " Boats. " he spoke as he walked down the hall and looked around the corner, " and Ice!" his ears perked up as he adjusted the knocked out Cub. 

 Everyone glanced down the hallway, " I guess this is what Cub was mumbling about; however, that doesn't explain how unnerving this room is...." False sighed as she took a boat out of the chest and placed it down on the ice. 

 The moment the boat hit the ice Ren started to stir, " Let go of me." he growled through his tiredness until he noticed who was holding him, " Oh.... Hi other False..." he gave her a weak look then turned to look at the rest of us. 

 Ren's ears went down as his hackles stood up when he noticed Cub in my Ren's arms, " Why the.... Why is he with us...?" he snarled showing his canines as False shushed him, " Cub was being controlled by a strange magical force." she explained as she lowered Ren into the large boat. False climbed in next, " We can probably take two more." she noticed as Impulse took the opportunity and put my unconscious counterpart next to Ren. 

 The two of them looked at us, " See you on the other side." Impulse spoke with a nervous twinge as he and False took off; Ren was watching us cautiously as he held onto my counterpart protectively as they rode away into the horizon.

Ren took out a boat and placed Cub into it; Wels did the same to Iskall. 

 I stopped Ren, " X, hand Mumbo over to Ren." I told him as X nodded handing Mumbo to Ren. X looked at the boat, " I take you want me to go with Wels?" he questioned as I nodded. 

 X climbed into the boat with Wels and the sleeping counterparts, " Bye." X waved as they slid away. 

 I waited until that group was gone, " Why'd you want me to take Mumbo instead?" Ren asked as he looked at the hermit. I put down a boat, " If we were pairing up based on who we had in the boats then I wanted you to be with me and other Grian to have his 'Oliver'." I smirked as I looked at the sleeping brit in my arms that kept weakly mumbling Mumbo's name in his delirious sleep.

 Ren nodded solemnly as he placed Mumbo down. The coolness that radiated off of the ice started to make the tired Mumbo stir. 

 Mumbo blinked, " You guys... came?" he whispered as he tried to force himself up. Mumbo's eyes widened as he realized something, " I passed out...." he whispered as he let his head drop.

 " ....I can't save Grian or the others..." his mouth continued to bleed. 

 The ice seemed to be waking the poor counterpart up, but it clearly was making him panic over his situation, " I can't do anything right......." his cries was reduced to a depressed, panicked mumble as I lowered Grian next to him. 

 The other Grian opened an eye and started to crawl against Mumbo, " I failed Grian...." Mumbo sighed as Grian shook his head, " You.... you did great Mumbo.... Just sleeeeeeeeep..." the delirious brit put his quivering hand against Mumbo's face. 

 Mumbo sighed as he turned to his side and let Grian lay down on his lap. He looked up at us, " When I pass out again...." his eyes were already drooping, " Keep all of us safe..." he slurred out the last word as he fell into a fitful rest.

I looked at Ren, " Let's get them back to D-Team base." I told him as he nodded. 

 The two of us gave one last look around, " Who do you think wrote this?" I asked him as I touched the wall. 

 Ren let out a sigh as he climbed into the boat. He took a blanket out of his bag and laid it on top of the sleeping duo, " I don't know D.... It could be either Cub or Scar." he sighed as his ears went down. 

 I looked at how Cub was written on the walls. It was all written in less frantic writing as I got closer to one of the far walls. 

 There was one version of Cub that was written awkwardly. 

 I learned forward trying to focus on the writing, " Cub and everyone else that gets.... into this mess.....I'm sorry for hurting you. -Scar." I read aloud as I backed up and sat down in the boat.

 Ren and I looked at each other.

 " Scar is still aware of what he's doing..." I whispered as we started to travel down the narrow ice path. 

 Ren nodded in silence.

  I looked back, and I felt everything starting to come crashing down as Scar with bright purple eyes stared me down; his expression morphed to sheer insanity as he slowly slid his finger across his throat. 

 A rope went around him, and he got pulled back. I took out a rocket and attached it to the boat, " What are you doing?" Ren questioned as I looked down him.

 " Scar is coming!" I panicked as the boat started to sail quickly down the ice.
