•Chapter 7•




"Come on Mumbo! We need to go!"

"Hrnngg..?"






Grian shook the redstoner awake, pulling him out of the comforts of his bed. Iskall helped the mustached hermit stand, Mumbo leaning on them for support. The other hermits had left to make sure Cleo was okay, leaving Mumbo, Grian and Iskall all in the small hermits bedroom. Mumbo was still drowsy, and no matter what Grian and Iskall did to try and shake him awake, the Redstoner still seemed to be exhausted. The three hermits walked down the stairs, Grian and Iskall trying to get Mumbo to move a bit faster. Just because Ex and Hels were gone for now, doesn't mean that they're gone for good.


"Come on Mumbo! You need to work with us!"
"wha...? what's going on...?"
"Hels and Ex did something to you and Xisuma! You need to snap out of it!"

"Hels...? Ex..?"

"Yes! Don't you remember what they did to you?"
"I...it's all really fuzzy.."



Grian and Iskall looked at one another, watching as Mumbo ran both his hands through his hair, the stress in his eyes clearly noticeable. He began hyperventilating, little beads of sweat dropping from his forehead. Mumbo took a deep breath, putting on a smile and trying his hardest not to worry. Xisuma could just ban the two, this wouldn't be a problem! He just had to stay calm, protect those who the two doppelgängers were after. Mumbo was still exhausted, but he fought the tired feeling in his head with everything he could, focusing at the problem at hand. He turned to Grian, who was also mentally stressing out.

"Grian?"
"Hm?"
"We need to get you out of here...Ex and Hels are after you..!"
"Mumbo, I'll be fine, but you-"

"I'm okay now, Iskall take Grian to the others."
"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to get some redstone and weapons. I'm not going to let those two hurt my friends."



Before Iskall and Grian could argue, Mumbo darted off into the jungle, leaving the two hermits alone. The Swede looked to Grian, the two of them clearly worried about their mustached friend. Iskall opened his mouth to speak, but a rustle came from the bushes, causing Iskall to grab Grian's wrist, pulling the small hermit away from the bushes, while he pulled out a sword, the Swede pointing it at the rustling leaves.


"Who's there!?"

ZombieCleo poked her head out, her worried expression fading away at the sight of Iskall. She jumped out of her hiding spot, holding an enchanted bow in her arms. Iskall lowered his sword, letting out a heavy sigh and relaxing his shoulders a bit.


"Cleo? I thought the others were going to meet you at your base."

"I know..but I saw Ex, and I was sure he was about to shoot an arrow at me. I got to my nether portal in time, and I've been running since.."

"Alright, well we need a safe place to hide for now. I'll call the others, but for now, can you two start on a safe house?"


Cleo and Grian looked at one another before nodding, Cleo pulling out an axe, Grian grabbing a Pickaxe. Iskall nodded, pulling out his communicator and letting his weary smile fade. He knew that they wouldn't be safe until Xisuma could ban the two, so for now, they had to hide.

"Another failed attempt?"
"The girl ran when she saw me. Not to mention I fired two of our special arrows. Now We have one left, along with the potion."


Ex slumped down against an old chest, the two villains meeting up in their hideout. The two had barely managed to escape, and their plan had started to fall apart, making Ex go even more insane then he already is. He let out a low growl as Hels paced back and forth, one hand on his chin as he began to plan out the next move for the villains.


"You gotta have a back up plan, when X wakes up, we're going to be banned!"

"He won't wake up. Not for a while at least. Those tipped arrows I gave you are much more....powerful then the ones we used on Mumbo. He'll barely remember his name."

Hels nodded, sitting down next to Ex. Xisuma's twin took his helmet off, shaking his head and revealing his Snow White hair. Ex put his helmet on the ground, before pinching the bridge of his nose and cussing, over and over again. He took a deep breath when he was done, turning to Hels.


"It clear that the hermits know who we're after..which is a big problem.."

"So what do we do know?"

"We're going to have to choose a new target."
