A Place of Rest
Author's Note: I don't have much to say. We're getting closer and closer to something big: The truth.
What's the truth? Well, I can't tell you.
I can, however, tell you that something is happening outside of the written Mightyverse.
Enjoy this part though!
:)

Still Scar's POV:
Vex magic....
S-She stole Cub's Vex magic...
I raised my hands as the woman aimed her hand towards me. My entire body froze as I stared at the woman. Quickly, the woman scratched a hole into the universe itself and created a portal. My eyes widened as I spotted what looked like a forest on the other side.
" Stupid magic..." The cat woman hissed, " It can't even get me to that wretched island..." she looked towards me and slowly backed into the portal.
" I suppose it doesn't matter... I can find that lift up there and get what I need..." The woman mumbled as she backed away into the portal. I tried to move closer, but the woman fired a bolt of magic towards me. Luckily, I managed to duck the magic bolt causing it to strike the palm tree behind me.
I looked back towards the portal and lowered my head.
D-Dang it.
" W-We need to get you and False back to X's place. " I whispered as I gently opened the bag and looked down at Rendog. The dog hybrid looked up at me and stuck his tongue out; a small bark escaped from him as he shoved himself further into the bag.
I shook my head and closed the bag back up, " O-Okay." I sighed as I looked towards False as she slowly picked herself off of the ground.
" I wasn't expecting that." False grumbled as she forced herself to her feet as she frowned. I turned towards her, " Are you alright, False?" I questioned with my eyebrows furrowed slightly. False put her sword back into its holder with a sigh, " I'm fine. It's just a flesh wound." she gently gripped her hurt arm with her hand.
I stared at False as she narrowed her eyes slightly. With a frown, I turned to face her, " False, are you sure you're alright?" I questioned with a tilt of my head. False let out a sigh, " No, I didn't realize that she would have Vex magic of all things, and she's way too strong for someone of her size." she grimaced.
I nodded, " She's been stealing the abilities of other hermits. I assume that she took Beef's strength and Cub's Vex magic. We're just lucky that she hasn't shown signs of Etho's ice powers or whatever Ren has."
The hermit sighed, " I suppose we are lucky."
False slowly walked towards me and flinched when she finished walking and landed on her left leg. I flinched slightly, " Are you sure that you're alright?" I tilted my head as False glared at me causing all of my hair to stand up.
Eventually False looked away, " I'm fine." she hissed out as I nodded. Okay, even if False won't admit it, I still need to take her and Ren to X's base. Then, I can help Void and Mighty with the cat woman.
With a small sigh under my breath and a recollection of my shaken soul, I walked over to False and opened the bag slightly. False looked down at Rendog with a frown, " We need to get him to X, I presume?" she tilted her head as I nodded.
False sighed, " Alright... Let's go. Then, after, we need to go after that stranger." she looked up towards the portal and narrowed her eyes. I opened my inventory and brought out a boat, " It's not that far of a boating, and I don't think you can fly." I told her as she sighed and took the boat out of my hand.
I watched as False dropped the boat into the water which caused it to take its normal shape and buoyancy.
False and I both climbed into the bed, and I gently handed Ren over to her.
" So I can row." I reasoned with her as she sighed and took the bag and hybrid. I quickly rowed the boat out towards X's base.
((One hour and thirty minutes later brought to you by a very fuzzy S biting at his feathers))
We reached X's base at around noon-ish? I don't really know. What I do know was that Doc was meeting us at the entrance to X's base.
How do I know this?
Well, he was asleep on a sunbathed rock in front of one of the industrial doors to X's homey tower. When we approached, Doc practically leapt towards us as we slowly scrambled out of the boat and towards him.
" What happened?" Doc questioned as his ears lowered. False handed him the bag and slowly made her way inside while clutching her arm.
Doc briefly stared at her then looked into the bag. The hybrid's ears lowered as his stuck his forked tongue out.
" Rendog..."
Doc slowly took Ren out of his bag and handed the bag back to me. The hybrid's tail twitched as he sighed, " We'll take care of False and Ren... You do what you need to do." he nodded his head.
I frowned, " What happens when False tries to escape and chase after me in order to help out?" I questioned. Doc smirked in his scheming way, " Oh, I think Bdubs might have some vines and some sleep potions on hand."
I blinked, " Don't do anything too drastic. She's hurt." I told him as he nodded, " Mhmm. Mhmm." he nodded at me again. Doc gave me a small wave as he turned around and walked inside with Ren safely in his arms.
With another nod of my head, I turned around and took off into the sky towards Woltria's portal.
