Scar fell through the portal and landed on top of Cub with an 'oof'. Getting up, Scar suddenly wondered where he was and why he was here. "Umm, Cub? Where are we?"

"I'm not sure man. We seem to be in a different server."

"How did we get here?"

"I can't remember." Cub shrugged, looking around.

"Well then how are we supposed to get back?!"
"Maybe there's something here?"

"We're on a tiny island with nothing on it. How are we supposed to find-"

"Well well well. Look who it is." Etho sat in a boat, glaring at the duo. Beef sat behind him.
"Uhh, didn't they die in season 5?"

"Yes. You should know this, seeing as YOU were the one who murdered us." Etho pointed to Scar, who looked very confused.

"What? Me? Murdered you? What are you talking about? How are you even alive?"

"Well, we aren't so alive." Etho stood up to reveal that he was transparent, a ghost. "But the jungle brought us back to participate in season 7. Speaking of which, why are you here?"

"Wait, this is season 7?!" Scar exclaimed. "How did we get to season 7?!"

Etho frowned. "You mean you didn't get here on purpose?"

"No! And I have no idea what you're talking about! I never murdered anyone!"

"Are you sure about that?"

"Yes!!! What are you going on about!"

"Well..." Etho began dramatically.

——————

"And that's what happened." Etho finished his dramatic story, sitting back down in the boat as he had been gesturing and all for the drama of the story.

"Etho... maybe that was a little dramatic." Beef pointed out.

"Well, it's still true! Anyway! How do you not remember this?!"

Cub and Scar looked at each other. "Well, there are times..." Scar began.

"... when our memory is just blurred..." Cub added.

"... and we seem to wake up and can't remember a thing..." Scar continued.

"... and then someone new is dead." Cub concluded.

Etho frowned, not believing it, but Beef was sold. "So it's a magical mystery!" Beef said enthusiastically. "Okay. So, do you remember doing anything before these events happened?"

"Uh..." Scar closes his eyes, trying to remember. "I pet my cat?"

"Aha! So the source of the evil is the cat!"

"Yeah, no. He pets his cat all the time and doesn't turn evil." Cub said, shaking his head.

"Okay... so... Cub! Have you ever seen Scar acting weird?"

"Well there was this time when we were about to do a prank so Scar put on the mask but the strings on mine were tangled, and he was acting all weird. He brought a bunch of deadly materials even though it was a harmless prank... then I put my mask on, and everything after that is blurry."

"Hm..." Beef analyzed this thoughtfully. "So you both have a mask?"

Cub nodded. "Vex masks. I found them in a woodland mansion. Actually, it was kind of odd. The mansion was completely empty of mobs and loot except for the two masks... which shouldn't be in the chest... now that I think about it, even being near the masks always gives me a weird feeling..."

"Same here! I get that feeling as well. And I remember a time when I saw you drawing names at Vexnos, even though we were done. You had the mask on, and I saw you had Python, Wels, Biffa, xBCrafted, uhhh..." Scar listed a few more names as Cub looked at him in horror.

"They were all hermits that were found dead..." The Convex looked at each other in horror and realization. "The masks..."

"Well the masks are gone now!" Etho said, trying to lighten the mood. "Besides, some of them are back!" He smiled as the ghosts of xBCrafted and a few others appeared. "Oh and would you look at the time! Since this server doesn't have a proper time cycle, time goes by faster. So the hermits should bee arriving soon so X can fix the time, and we can go on with season 7 knowing the cause of the evil is gone now!"

Cub and Scar nodded in agreement as the first hermits started filing through the portal. Season 7 would be normal. At least, they hoped it would.
