Author's Note: The other Ren. He's a good protective boi. He just wants his Doc, friends, and new friends to be okay.

 The fact that this story has over 1,700 views still impresses me. 

 I may be a bit slow getting the next part of this story out. I might be trying to get Final Confrontation finished and more of Ruffled Feathers out. Though enjoy anyways.

Swap!Ren's POV:

Impulse had been distracting the virus for a long while. The pain on his face was clear.

 " Do you believe that this will end in your favor?" the virus questioned as it stood over Impulse's weakening body. 

 Impulse blinked slowly.

 " Sometimes I don't honestly..... but....but I guess that I do some other times..." he let out a weak, sad laugh as he laid on his side and let pain overtake him.

 The virus continued to stare at him in silence as I looked back at False and Mumbo, " False get Scar out of here. Mumbo, go for Doc and Impulse after we fire these arrows. Grian, you're with me." I quietly ordered as everyone nodded at the plan. 

 The moment False had gotten Scar's unconscious body out of this crystal battleground everyone charged, " FIRE!" I shouted as everyone fired their arrows. The arrows drove deeply into the creature causing it to screech. 

 It whipped around to look at us, " Enchanted weaponry... Impressive..." it hissed as it got down on all fours and charged towards us. 

 Mumbo ran to the left as Grian and I charged towards the beast.

 I dodged to the right as Grian went to the left letting the creature charge straight into a wall.

 The creature snarled as it turned back around; a solid, glowing crack appeared in its head. The creature gave us a wide grin.

 " I'm surprised you move that fast Rendog. You normally are so fidgety, and I never expected that your pathetic self could even manage combat." he laughed as my tail twitched in irritation.

 I growled at him, " I.... I am not pathetic." I barked as the creature let out a low snarl.

 " Of course you are... You can't even protect your friends...." he started to walk towards me, " You can't even protect some strangers..... " he got closer as I felt the anger rise, " You can't even protect the ones you hold so close to you." it stood up on its back legs as its claw lit up.

" SHUT UP!" I howled as I ran towards the creature. 

 It felt like one swift movement as the virus disarmed me, got behind me, and forced me to the ground. 

 I growled and stared back at the beast, " See what I mean? Pathetic." he laughed as I desperately tried to break free from the creature's steady hold. 

 The virus stared down at me, " I know all of your moves Ren. I know how much you care about others. The other thing I know is that you dread the thought of being unable to help them." it smirked as I thrashed around. 

 I looked around for any sign of Grian, but he was somehow gone from my peripheral. I looked for Mumbo, Impulse, and Doc; the good news was they were nowhere nearby. 

 I coughed, " So, are you going to kill me?" I questioned as the virus turned me around and forced me into the air. 

 The virus thought for a moment as a small grin formed on its face.

 " That...." it walked to a large crystal and hung me up to it. 

 I continued to struggle as the creature's claw started to glow an even deeper purple. 

 My ears went down as the creature got closer.

 " That is the smartest thing that any of you hermits have asked this whole time." I froze up as the creature got close to my face.

 " Game over Rendog." it spoke in a chilling tone as I closed my eyes when it raised its giant, glowing claw above my shaking form. 

((The author comes by with a scene that reads " The end "))

((The sign flips over to read " JK.... I wouldn't kill off this good boy))

I expected darkness. 

 I expected the game over screen to thrust me back into my other world self; however, I was still alive. 

 The sound of the virus letting out a disorientating screech forced me to open my eyes. The virus's claw was about an inch from my face; a glowing arrow was going straight through it. 

 I glanced to my side to notice Grian with his red eye glowing brightly. 

 Grian lowered his bow, " I suggest you let Ren go mate...." Grian smirked as the creature turned towards him. 

 The monster walked towards Grian, " Ah yes... The robotic runt of the server...." the creature looked at the arrow in its arm.

 " I expected you'd try and play hero." it shrugged as Grian growled. Grian took out his sword with a snort.

 " I've been called a villian a lot of times during this season.... It's about time that I play my cards in a different way. It's also about time that we end this tyranny your running." he hissed as the monster simply laughed at him. 

 I turned around and wiggled out of the coat I was wearing. 

 The two were distracted with each other as I picked myself off of the ground. 

 I took out my bow and quietly aimed for the back of the creature's head where another crack had formed. 

 I tightened my grip on the bow as my ears lowered. 

 It was time to end this. 

 It was time to get our counterparts home and end this war once and for all.
