Author's Note: The next part as I said earlier. Certain things are happening. I don't have much to say for this part.

 Read the status post that I made. There's something that needs to be read by everyone. 

 Enjoy this part though.

--------------------------------

-continued directly from the last part-

Grian's POV (still): 

Void and I looked at each other as Scar came barreling back into the room. The hermit stopped when he was next to us and took out the hose and mask that connects to his hidden oxygen tank.

" R-Running.... Hard... Cat... f-fast." Scar breathed into the mask as his body shuddered. My ears lowered as I continued to stare at Scar.

 " You tried your best mate." Void shook his head, " I probably shouldn't have put the man who's hard of breathing in charge of chasing down a feral cat woman that has access to one of the most powerful things within our server." he slowly shook his head.

 Scar waved his hand as he took a few more soft breathes before putting his gear away. The magically-inclined hermit fixed his cowboy hat, " No, it's just that she kept getting around me... and kicking me..." he rubbed his back and winced. 

 I waved my paw towards Scar as he looked up towards Void and me. My tail twitched, " Mrrooow?" I opened my mouth to speak but still only a meow came out. Right, I still can't speak. 

 I briefly forgot...

 Scar tilted his head, " Uh... 'm fine, Grian. I'm just sore." he straightened himself out. I nodded my head slightly and waved one of my paws towards a piece of paper that was sticking out of Scar's pocket. 

 Scar pulled the paper out of his pocket, " Right, I found this in Beef's library.... I think that the woman dropped it." he unfolded the paper and quickly showed it to us. I studied the symbols and shook my head.

 Looked like some sort of complicated ritual. 

 A curse? No, too many symbols.

 Transformation spell? No, the cat woman doesn't need that. At least, I don't think she needs that. Only a bite was needed to turn me.

 Power draining? That's too obvious. It's clear that she already has that ability. 

 Paralysis? Maybe.

 Turning someone to stone? Maybe. 

 Accessing an alternate world? Another maybe.

 My ear twitched as I let out a small growl.

 If this person had decent writing, then maybe I could figure this stupid thing out!

 Void let out an angered gasp as I was ripped from his chest. I flailed my limps, " mmmmrrrrRRROOOOOW!" I kept flailing until I was held high into the air with my wings flapping. 

 " No, I'm not holding you anymore." Void's antennae twitched angrily. I looked down at him and then at my unsheathed claws.

 I probably dug my nails into him. I narrowed my eyes. Wait, no, he's got armor on... How exactly did I bother him then? 

 My ears twitched as Void narrowed his eyes. The bee frowned, " For context fuzzball, you're rocking back and forth like one of those rocking toys.... Also, you're digging into where my neck meets my shoulder." he narrowed his buggy eyes.

 Okay. That explains why he took me off of him. I let out a small sigh as I flapped my wings. My wings kept flapping as I narrowed my eyes.

 Come on....

 I don't want to be carried around anymore. Even if it did feel nice, I don't want to just be a liability in someone's arms. 

 My tail thrashed as I meowed again causing the two men to give me mirrored confused looks. I threw my head back in order to point at my wings. Void gave me a nod, " If you fall n' break something, then you're going right back to Xisuma's and probably into a bird cage." he mildly threatened. 

 All the fur on my small body fluffed up. I'm an expert flyer... Even with these changes, I'm sure that I've recovered enough from the initial shock of the bite and transformation to fly again. If not, then I guess I can help Xisuma watch after poor Etho and Beef.

 " Are you ready, Grian?" Void questioned as he started to move me up and down in his hands. Wait, wait hold on!

 Is he going to throw me?!

 " 3..."

 " Mrow?!"

 Nononono don't throw me, Void Sumis!

 " 2..." 

 I quickly flapped my wings as my heart started to race. 

 I'm not going to fall. 

 I'm not going to fall.

 I'm not going to fall!

 " 1!" 

 I screeched as I was thrusted into the air with a mighty heave from Void's claws. 

 My wings flapped with a fearful fury as I desperately tried to remain aloft. All four of my legs swam in the air as I gasped loudly while my heart continued to race. 

 " Grian!" Scar let out a happy gasp. 

 I cracked one of my eyes and looked down at the ground that seems many feet below me. My eyes widened as I grinned. If I could still laugh like normal, I would be doing it. 

 " Meowww! Mreoow!"

 My ears perked up as I carefully flew around Scar and Void. 

 This is utterly brilliant! Even without my glasses, it feels like I can feel everything around me now that I can feel the air between my feathers and going through my fur. 

 " Alright, " Void crossed his arms, " Now that Grian's in the air and not broken pile of cat bones..." I flinched at his gruesome words, " I need to call some of the other hermits to take these two men to X's base for monitoring..." he motioned towards the two sleeping bodies. 

 No, actually, one of them wasn't sleeping. As a matter of fact, Beef had woken back up. The bull hybrid looked up towards us with drained eyes. Beef's tail twitched as he slowly tried to move. A sharp series of pops and cracks of his bones caused him to flinch and curl in on himself. 

 " Probably should call the hermits you wanna call." Scar frowned as Void nodded and quickly typed at the communicator on his wrist. The bee hybrid look slightly annoyed as he awkwardly tapped at the buttons until a red light appeared on screen. 

 The bee buzzed angrily as he continued to type, " Ztupid lack of five fingerz.... Ztupid having to use a communicator...." he grumbled as he continued to type. Eventually, after multiple red error messages and small cuss words thrown at it, the bee hybrid yelled out in frustration. 

 " Uh, are you alright?" Scar questioned as Void stared at him, " No, X expected me to quickly learn how to not rely on my helmet or proper fingers... I've tried that, believe me I have, yet now it seems that I can't even type without hitting two buttons at once." he sighed as he rubbed at the fuzz around his neck.

 My wings flapped, " Mrow mroe mrow." I flew over to Scar and landed on his head causing him to lower slightly. Scar leaned down slightly, " I'm use to Jellie doing this, but you're way heavier man." Scar awkwardly laughed.

 I hissed at him. 

 Rude. 

 I'm not heavy...

 Scar and I looked towards Void again. The bee hybrid looked towards us, " Scar, call Doc and Bdubs. Even if those two have been fighting since the beginning of this season, they are the only ones close enough to our location and able to help at the current time." he looked at a mini map on his communicator.

 At least he can still pull up a map. Whether that's all he can do with his communicator is another thing. 

 My tail twitched as I looked towards Scar. The hermit was already typing with the speed of a cheetah on his communicator. I watched as two holographic channels turned on with Docm in one and BdoubleO in the other. 

 " Why did you call him?" Doc and Bdubs both spoke at the same time with pure disgust in both of their voices. Void walked into the frame, " We need the both of you to come to Beef'z base." he answered with a small buzz.

 Doc's long ears twitched, " Why?" he tilted his head. The three of us let out exasperated sighs, " Get over to Beef's base, now." Void reiterated with a growl. Before the two hermits could get a word in edge-wise, Scar ended the call. 

 ((Mighty is sleeping against the wall and a sign is next to her. The sign reads, " Timeskip: one hour"))

 I was sitting in Scar's lap when Doc and Bdubs arrived. The two men looked at each other and scoffed. Thankfully, the annoyance and small growls were cut short when they both spotted Beef's and Etho's bodies.

 " Oh my god, what happened?" Doc questioned as he gingerly picked Beef's now sleeping body up. We tried to keep Beef awake in the hour in took for the two to arrive, but having your body drained of all your strength will make sleep seemingly unescapable. 

 We should've just been happy that the two of them were still alive and didn't despawn or go 'afk'. Doc gently rubbed his muzzle against Beef and nodded his head, " His breathing's stable..." he mumbled. 

 The creeper hybrid turned to face Scar and me then froze. A small growl escaped from him causing the hackles that ran down my back to poke up. 

 Scar looked between me and Doc, " Uh, this is Grian." he grinned awkwardly. 

 " Where's Grian?" Bdubs questioned as he picked Etho up. Bdubs turned around with the ice mage in his arms and gave us a confused look. My tail twitched as I let out a small huff. Scar put his hand onto my head, " This is Grian..." he frowned as he started to rub at my cheek. 

 My ears twitched as I swatted at Scar's hand. The wizard quickly lowered his hand with a frown, " Sorry, sorry... It's just that I'm use to petting Jellie when she's on my shoulder." he gave me an awkward smile. 

 I shook my head. You've said that already. Even still, you try and pet me. I blinked. Then again, I don't necessarily hate it.... It still weirdly feels nice.

 Bdubs let out a small laugh, " Yeah, that's Grian alright..."

 Doc looked towards him, " You can easily tell based on the color pattern and the wings." he nodded.

 " Alright, " Void crossed his arms, " Now that we've reiterated Grian's identity for the second time in the past couple of couples. You two need to get the Canadians over to X and my base." he ordered causing the two to nod. 

 " Right. right." Bdubs turned to face the sky and lit a rocket that was attached to some bands around his legs. After Bdubs was long gone over the trees, Doc took off after him. 

 I let out a sigh as my tail twitched, " Now we need to go after find Cub." Void frowned causing Scar to look at him. Scar didn't say anything though; he just nodded and refolded up the paper he had been holding and shoved it back into his pocket. 

 My tail twitched as Scar took me off his shoulder and held me in his arms. 

 I hope that Cub's alright though. Being out in the sun all day while working on a megabase doesn't do anyone good, I should know that first hand. Not to mention the fact that Cubfan was apparently poisoned by some sort of hybrid and has only now shook off the poison. 

 Who knows how those things have affected him.

 My ears and tail lowered as I turned to look at the others. The three of us nodded at each order then took off into the sky towards Cub's base. 

 Hopefully this time we can catch that cat lady.
