*TW: Horrible fighting Scene, Kidnapping, Blood.*

Grian felt the pain in his wing, he cried out in pain. He screamed as loud as he can, hoping that his friends could here him. He saw black dots cloud his vision and decided that taking a quick nap before the hermits come help him it would be good. He cried out once more, he felt his body shift around, finally he closed his eyes.

The hermits heard the familiar scream of their winged friend. They looked at each other as they ran towards the sound. As figured, they knew he was in trouble and was most likely hurt. When they reached the destination, Ren seeing the familiar setting as this was the rock he left Grian at.

They saw a person holding Grian, he wore a white and purple gown, had dark brown hair with tips of purple at the end. He also had purple wings, a tail similar to Grians. He was running his hands though Grians hair, said hermits wings were covered in blood but you couldn't see as his wings were half red.

"Omg- GRIAN!" Iskall yelled, still shaken up at the sight of their  best friends body which pooled with blood. Now they had just saw their brother from another mother and best friend's wings having blood on it. He brought out a sword after the mysterious person had looked at them.

As Grian described, it was lifeless.. dull. It's was purple, and staring right into their souls. The person had moved Grian closer to him. "BACK AWAY! HE IS MY PRECIOUS!" He hissed at them, bring up his right hand and a magic swirled out of it. The ball of magic hit False, making her fly back into a tree and poof. She died and was now respawned back in her base. Gem called out her name, worried for her new friend and the fact that she hadn't experienced this before. Pearl looked at Grian then at the figure she wished to never see again. "Zephyr. Let go of him now." She spoke sternly. Zephyr frowned, grabbing Grian and holding him tight.

"NO! He needs me! He needs me. He needs me. He needs.." he continued saying those 3 words over and over again until an arrow wizzed past his face. It made a mark of blood on his cheek. "You missed." He smiled at the familiar red eyed blonde hermit. "I know. Should've hit your mouth so you would shut up. For Impy." Tango mumbled the last part, holding the bow and glaring at him, tears swelling up in his eyes. "Oh. That brunette, so easy to kill. And in front of you!" Zephyr looked at him with eyes of happiness which disgusted the hermits.

Zephyr got up from the floor, Grians body slumping on the floor. Doc was so eager to grab the body and get him out of there but Zephyr seemed to read his mind and made a barrier around the body. "Give me Grian and everything will be fine." Xisuma yelled a bit, the hermits stepped back to let Xisuma take the spotlight. "No.. I rather not." He grinned, facing his back towards them and patting Grians head which only flinched but calmed down.

Etho bought out his sword with a shing, he threw his sword at Xephyr, impaling his shoulder. He grunted in pain, making Etho grin a bit, he pulled the sword out as blood pooled out slowly while the blood stained his sword. Zephyr dropped the sword. He grabbed a stick made of Netherite and pressed a button.

The Stick turned into a Netherite axe, he smiled when they all paled. "Do you like this? Made it back at the academy. I don't want to permanently kill you, so this is the next best thing." He grinned, running at a the hermits with pale faces. He slashed at Iskall first, seeing as he was the one with the sword out. Said man blocked his attack and they fought back. Tango pulled out another arrow from his inventory and aimed for Zephyr. The arrow hit Zephyr in the stomach, making him stop attacking and bend down in pain.

Pearl decided to bring out her own weapon. Her and Grian were both watchers and so they get their own hand picked weapons of obsidian. She opened her hand and with a purple light, an obsidian dagger appeared. She took the chance of the other watchers pain and slashed at his neck. It didn't do much damage due to the fact that only enchanted Obsidian weapons could do major damage to watchers, but since she failed enchanting, she didn't have one.

"You brats... I'm done with Mr. Nice watchers. Let's have some real fun.." Zephyr said in a deep voice, he pushed Pearl aside and smiled when he knocked Iskall out of his way and next to Grian. They took this as a chance to try to get Grian out. He looked in his inventory for anything sharp and saw his shovel. "This will do for now.." They muttered, holding the shovel above their head and slamming it into the barrier.

Meanwhile with the other hermits, they saw Iskall trying to destroy the barrier so it was time for little distractions. Zedaph and Tango grouped together to shoot different types of harming arrows at the watcher. Xisuma was looking through code and breaking the rules, spawning swords that would attack Zephyr. He would explain to the head admin about that later. Ren and Gem worked together on uncovering weak spots of Zephyr. Scar had a pickaxe at hand and mined down, making tunnels and mining the blocks underneath the watcher.

Iskall on the other hand, had made a small crack in the barrier. He used the shovel to pry off the other pieces. Finally, he finally broke though the barrier. He was about to reach Grian until he felt a hand on his shoulder. It flew him back into Xisuma, making the admin panels disappear and making Xisuma fall back. Tango and Zedaph had run out of arrows while Gem and Ren were tiered out. This gave the chance for Zephyr to smile and wave to them. A swirl of magic wooshed over the surviving hermits making them scream out before they disappeared

"Now your mine, Sunshine.."

Back in Hermitcraft, they were all teleported into the boatem crew area. Mumbo had been working on his van for the past a hour, seeing that's how long he had been dead for. Iskall saw him and ran up to him and tackled him to the ground. "Mumbo! I thought you were gone!" Iskall cried out. "Hey my Swedish friend. I'm all good now. Physically." He mumbled the last part, but Iskall heard it completely. "After all this we go to Joe." They pointed to themselves and Mumbo.

"What do you mean when. Isn't it done?. Mumbo asked his friend, who only gave him a small smile and look. "Zephyr, that's the name, had slashing Grians wing and took him. We fought and he teleported us all here." He pointed to the hermits who were looking at the builds of Boatem. "Oh." Is all what Mumbo could say.

"I think we should schedule a server meeting. See what we can do to get the gremlin back and give them the details of what happened the past four days." Xisuma said, as Iskall and Mumbo walked over. "Yeah, I think that's a good idea." Scar smiled. Really all he wanted to do was see Cub and tackle him to the ground just like Iskall did towards Mumbo.

Xisuma had called everyone to meet up in boatem, as most hermits who were teleported claimed that they were either hurt or had felt dizziness rush over them after they were randomly teleported. A few minutes later, all the hermits excluding Grian were there. They were concerned for their admin and friends since when one would die, they saw the message pop up. When Tango and Zedaph saw Impulse walk out his base after he respawned, Tango ran up and hugged him as tight as he could, Zedaph used all his strength to pry Tango off his former dead friend. "Soo, mind explaining what happened during your trip?" Joe asked, as much as Xisuma was like a father to them all, Joe overpowers him by a lot in that position.

The hermits who were alive and witnessed Zephyrs looked at eacother and gave small looks of sadness. "A watcher, what Pearl had told me, was stalking Grian. We kinda fought and almost got Grian out of his grasp." "And that stupid smug smiling watcher, teleported us off here." Scar and Ren explained to everyone after realizing no one would speak up.

"Well then. What's the plan to get the gremlin?"
