A couple of minutes later, the hermits were entering the room that EX had taken Grian to and made the muzzle.

They looked around the lab looking room seeing potions stacked on the shelves.

"Surely the cure to this is here somewhere." Mumbo muttered.

"Assuming he made one." Doc commented.

That made the others kind of shudder. They could only hope he did.

Though no one knew what it would look like.

Jevin looked at them from his spot on Tango's back. "If we can find the one that caused this, we should be able to use a fermented spider eye to reverse the effects." He offered.

"Oh yeah..." Doc muttered.

"Great idea, Jevin!" Mumbo complemented. "Alright! Let's start looking!"

Everyone was soon picking up potions and checking their effects based on the colors.

"That's a harming, poison, speed, invisibility, slowness, weakness, oh? A turtle master one even." Jevin commented as potions were brought to him. "Oh! Keep healing and regenerations off to the side. Some of us will need those probably."

"Hey, Jevin?" Zed called. "I think I found something!"

"Bring it here, Zed!"

Zed flew over, and placed a piece of paper with ingredients scribbled on it.

Jevin hummed as he examined it closely.

Rabbit foot, ghast tear, pufferfish, and spider eye.

"Huh... That's a weird combination." Jevin muttered. "Uh, see if you can find these. Let's see what they make. It could be the potion we need." He explained.

Zed nodded as he and the others started looking in chests and on shelves.

After a couple of minutes, they were gathered up.

Jevin turned to Tango. "Could you put them in please, Tango?"

Tango climbed up and glanced at the indgredents. "Uh, sure..." He hooked up some premade awkward potions to the brewing stand and checked the blaze powder before inserting the rabbit's foot.

They watched as it started to brew.

Iskall noticed Mumbo lying down with Grian, a little ways away from everyone.

He turned back to the stand watching Tango insert the ghast tear before trotting over to Mumbo quietly and sat down. "... Hey."

Mumbo glanced up from his gaze on Grian's sleeping form. "Hey." He greeted quietly.

Iskall noticed Mumbo looked worried and upset. "You alright?"

Mumbo sighed, glancing at Grian again. "Not really. I'm worried about him. He's really hurt, Iskall. We can't do anything about it right now either..."

Iskall frowned at that. "Jevin had us set some healing potions aside so we should be able to use those-"

"Not with this muzzle on him..."

"Oh, yeah." Iskall agreed.

Mumbo and Iskall watched Tango insert the pufferfish before Mumbo spoke up again.

"Do you think there's a reason why he's targeting Grian?"

Iskall turned to him. "What?"

Mumbo looked at him. "It seems like ever since this really started, we've all been the target, right?"

Iskall nodded. "Right."

"So why does it feel like Grian is being targeted now? Do you think there's a reason?"

Iskall hummed. "Maybe cause he's the newest one?"

Mumbo thought about it. "I mean that kind of makes sense."

"I mean, he's the only one who hasn't really heard of or been around EX before. We've all kind of experience his chaos in some form or fashion before. But not Grian. Maybe he's targeting him cause one; Grian doesn't know what to expect. Two; He can get under our skin through Grian."

Mumbo frowned. "I hate that you have a point."

Iskall nodded. "I do too but if there was a reason, that's likely it."

Mumbo sighed and agreed. "Yeah..."

Tango placed the spider eye in. "There."

Jevin nodded. "Great. Thanks. Though, if this is the right potion, we will need a fermented spider eye to make the cure."

Tango groaned. "I'll go get one..." He hopped down and went to look.

Mumbo watched Tango dig out a fermented spider eye. "Do you think this will work?" he asked Iskall.

"I hope so."

Tango placed the fermented spider eye in and it started to brew just as the door was slammed open, revealing EX standing there, glaring at them all.
