Falling through a portal under your feet is not ideal, neither is the fact that it's watcher made. When she hit the ground she hit it hard, the marble not at all getting cushioned by the thin carpet. When she looked up she saw Zander first, smirking with a dark glint in his eyes. It was the person next to him that caught him by surprise, Skylar. She stood next to Zander's throne proud with her arms crossed one hand clutching a silver dagger.

"Bella Newton," Zander booms as Bella scrambled to her feet letting her wings unfold wacking a nearby guard in the face.

"Zander, how unpleasant it is to see you," The prime greets with a sickly sweet smile on her face. In reality she was quite scared, trembling on the inside. She had no real power in the realm of the watchers; her magic did no good. Her only help was her wings and her wit.

"You're probably wondering why you're here," He sneers and she slowly nods. " You're here because I am testing you and your 'family,"

He put family in air quotes clearly mocking me. I roll my eyes in annoyance and boredom. "What are you going to do to me,"

"I hear your sister doesn't particularly like you, I also hear your pain has been linked up to another," He smirks gesturing to Skylar who steps forward.

"Tourture me, fool don't you know I've been trained for that," I smirk at him.
"But has Etho had the same training?" He sneers and my eyes widen. "Besides our methods have changed,"

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

Etho's POV

I was working on redstone for a note block order when I felt it. A searing pain went down my forearm then dragged back up. I grabbed my forearm wondering what in the world could be causing either of us that type of harm. I wasn't given much time to think when the same thing happened to my left forearm. I gasped out, taking off my mask to breathe easier. Then by back seemed to be getting pricked my needles and I nearly collapsed on the floor swaying from the pain. I reached for my communicator to contact X, I actually nearly dropped it when it felt like my arm had been broken.
Pressing the call button I waited a few moments before I heard his cheery voice greet me.

"Uh, X, something is definitely not right, I'm feeling a lot of pain that's not mine," I explain. His tone of voice quickly changes as he searches for Bella's location just to not find it. I bite a scream back as I fall to my knees, X must've hearn the thump because he soon had teleported to my location. His eyes widened at my state, pulling me out of the redstone area and into the base I was working in. He called Grian the only other who had an idea of what to do. Ever since of the knowledge of the powerful position of the watchers he was in he also became an adviser for the Admins relating to watchers things. Said advider came running from Cub's portal room. (Pls remember in which there is a cheater is not canon in this, (or most oneshots) )

When he saw me his mouth gaped open for a minute before thinking about the possibilities, there were a lot of possibilities. But they both came to the conclusion 'Zander', he probably had her.

----------

Bella gasped for break as her sister dragged a blade between her shoulder blades which also forced her eyes slammed shut as she kneeled chained up. Tears streamed down her face as her sister laughed having the time of her life.

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

Etho gaped his mouth wide as he nearly collapsed just as X caught him. Knees weak he stayed on his hands and knees and as more slash like pains he switched to his elbows. Those who visited the three throughout the next three hours started at the usually playful ninja. They soon called for a server wide meeting to explain everything, though Grian and Etho would stay hidden so no one would have to see what was going on.

--------

X calmly faced the rest of the server, many glanced around trying to find the three missing hermits.

"I've called upon urgency, Bella is in trouble, the watchers have her, we need who we can get to help get her back," He explains.

"And what about Etho and Grian," False pipes up.

"As Etho can feel her pain it's apparent she is being tortured, and he can obviously feel it, we didn't want anyone to have to see what he was going through. As for Grian he is watching Etho for the time being, though we will try to bring Etho with us when we go," He answered, receiving a chorus of nods.

"How do we get her?"

"I-I don't know," He sighs, he was lost without her help. She usually did these leadership things.

"Whatever you need we will provide," Iskall says seriously for once.

"Thank you,"

----------

They did come up with a plan, a terrible plan, but one Grian thought just might work. As for Etho the pain hasn't let up in the two hours they had told the hermits and planned. Everyone geared up and slung etho's arm keeping him upright over Bdubs shoulders, the hermit just under This' height by two inches.  (Hint bdubs has said he is 5' 10")

The delirious and in pain hermit stumbled with Bdubs clutching the last place he felt pain in his right collarbone. They managed to invent a potion to numb the pain but decided he would take it after they went through the portal. He took the potion the minute he stepped on the other side of the portal. He stood up straight for the first time on six hours and grabbed his bow from his inventory. XB had clapped him on his back smirking something about "he's back".

Etho's determined face wanted blood as Grian led them back to the castle that they had gone not even three months ago. The guards brought them to a hearing with Zander again this time with all the hermits minus TFC.

"I see you've come seeking," Zander glees at Etho who glares at him.

"Obviously," Etho snaps, making others look at him like he's crazy.

"She was just having a family reunion," He tells them standing up from his throne.

"What!" Etho shouts.

"YES! Now come say hello to your dearest," He sneers as Bella is dragged out by guards with her look alike strutting behind her.

"Skylar, meet your sister's boyfriend," He sneers, gesturing to me. Most of the hermits didn't know Bella had a sister so it was quite a surprise.

"We've met," They both growl.

"Lovely, now Bella be a dear and take a look at our guests," He says glaring at the bloody girl.
She struggles to pull her head up for a minute before Zander stops her and she collapses on the ground.

"That's alright, stay down," He rolls his eyes at the sickly sweet words.

"Anywho this was a test, I needed to see how much you guys cared about you're precious prime," He smirks at the group who collectively backs up.

"LET HER GO," X booms from aside Etho.

"Ah yes XisumaVoid prime number two, it's a shame you never got used to your powers like this one did," Zander smirks.

"How-"

"I believe you have a brother," He smirks, most hermits glare at the Watcher sur to all the trouble the younger brother had caused all them.  

"Is he here?"

"No, he's out and about,' Zander said absentmindedly.

"Just give us to her and we will go," Grian says stepping towards Bella.

"Sure, just one thing," He smiles with an evil twinkle in his eye.

"Get on with it," X groans.

"Oh alright, I want access to the end," He sneers.

"No," X snaps.

"Fine then this one stays here," He sneers, blocking us from my Bella.

"Wait! Is there something else," X counters.

"I was hoping you would say that," Zanders sneers again. I rolled my eyes at his overdramatic tastes. "I just want to take over Minecraft, obviously, so the first thing I want is access to Netherite,"

"Whatever," Xisuma sighs, placing a command block down. I widened my eyes as I saw him write some code. When he was finished he placed a single button on top.

"When you press this button a single piece of netherite will pop out and yeah," He tells Zander and Zander shoves Bella towards us.

I ran over to her and carried her into safety the best I can without hurting her further. That proved to be impossible because as soon as I touched her she gasped out. My heart broke at her state, but then I got angry that it was her own sister that did this. There wasn't an inch that didn't have blood, blood that was all hers. I kept her body close against my chest as X got us ok to leave. When I stepped out on the other side we quilt placed on a bed and let Stress do her thing. Most of it was fixed but some gashes were too big to be completely fixed not without time at least.

I turned to X and asked "Are we really going to let them have netherite?"

"Goodness no, that netherite generator won't last more than a week, it's going to self destruct in five days," 

"Wow,"

----

I opened my eyes rather confused, but everything hurt like a bitch. I had clothes on, and my wings were also out, but I also was in the area under the town hall.
I gasped for air staring at the ceiling I laid there trying to remember what happened. The last I remembered was getting shoved down in the throne room, I slowly sat up groaning as I went. I heard quick footsteps and was greeted with the big eyes of Stress.

"Stress," I hoarsely whispered.

"Hey drink this," She says shoving a bottle of water in my hands. I down the bottle and take a good look around the room. I notice that nearly every hermit is there dotted around the room watching me.

"Can you recall what happened?" X asks walking over to us.

"Yeah I think so," I nodded. "I was actually working on my base, when a portal opened under my feet and dropped me into their throne room. Zander of course was there and so was my sister Skylar, apparently it was a test, though they never told me what type. Some guards took me and threw me in a tourture chamber. Skylar had her way with me, doing what she's wanted to do for years. I remember being so relieved when she finally stepped away but thats when they took me back to the throne room. Then I remember being shoved, but I don't remember anything after that,"

"You're here now and that's what matters," X says. Etho finds his way to me and grabs my hand giving me those eyes that say a thousand words. I smile at him and turn my attention back to the rest of the group happy i'm home.

"What do you think this means for the watchers?" False pipes up and I think in concern.

"I don't know," I whisper.

"All my father talked about was taking over Minecraft," Grian growls from his corner with Mumbo and Iskall. I turn my head to him listening with every fiber.

He looks at me in the eyes. "This is just the beginning to everything,"

I will be adding several connected oneshots/chapters to this one shot, no more than 4 or 5.
