Hermitcraft season 9, such a peaceful server right? Well, not anymore. When Ren declared himself King, Grian had the urge to not start a War again. Of course he had said that he was going to be neutral- chaos neutral but still neutral neutral in any way. He wouldn't be a citizen of Ren,

Grian was walking around the server taking in everything from Pearls base to Impulses castle of some sort. When he decided to walk around his old Starter base, his head started throbbing in pain, all he could hear was ringing while he shut his eyes seeing the darkness and another figure in purple and grey.

Cmon Gri. Your being boring.
I don't want to start another war, what's wrong with that?!
EVERYTHING! That's not like you- like us!
I just don't want to and you can't make me.

After having his mindless battle with his watcher side, he knew he would have to cut him off some point. He made sure he couldn't lose control and not start another war, but if he did lose control and his watcher side would take over. The server is done for.

He sighed, opening his eyes and realizing he was sitting on his wooden flooring. It was dark outside, the stars up in the sky and the moon just as normal as ever. He decided staying for the night in his base would be a good idea and took his shoes off, changed into comfortable clothing —Some shorts and a Blue top—then climbing on top and putting the blanket over his body and falling into a slumber.

The next morning, he was awoken by a trumpet or something. He didn't budge until the noise got louder. He quickly put on a red hoodie he had and put on some parrot slippers. He grabbed his pillow and blanket and wrapped the soft fabric around himself and went outside. He soon realized it was sunrise, so around 5AM. He could see Scar coming out his tree base also tiered.

It was cold out, so he put his hood up. He looked for where the noise came from, seeing Bdubs blow a trumpet. He walked up to Scar, he was holding Jellie and doing the same as Grian. He had his blanket wrapped around himself as well. "Hey.." Scar said tiredly, Grian just waved back not wanting to use his voice this early in the morning. The shorter male yawned while stuffing the pillow in his face. "I frwana slweep." He muffled into the pillow, soon the trumpet sound was heard again but this time, it was near the two hermits ears. "Gah! Bdubs!" Scar yelled at him, he was on top of Grian who had fallen asleep on the grass. Scar now awake from the noise got up and looked down at the sleeping male.

"I think I killed him." Scar whispered to Bdubs who just stared at him. "Not my fault, but Ren wants to make an announcement so I'm waking everyone up. Bye scar! See you later." Bdubs explained then equipping rockets and flying out. Scar only sighed, he picked up Grian bridal style, the pillow still being held by him and the blanket on the verge of falling, he quickly held him in one arm and wrapped the blanket around said hermit. He walked to the direction of where he thinks they were going to all meet.

*Haha don't worry, these parts are important, I just need some filler part or something*

When he saw some hermits he quickly walked over to the group and saw that everyone was in their PJ's as well. He moved to the front and sat down with some other hermits who were so close to sleeping. He put Grian between his legs making sure not to wake him up. "Why's you call us all so early in the morning Ren?" Xisuma asked, he was not happy that he had to wake up. He had only just fallen asleep after working non-stop for a week.

"Well fellow admin! I just wanted to check up on the you citizens you know? Also to remind you all to only have a stack of diamonds!" Ren cheered out happily. He was wearing his normal fancy outfit with the small crown between his wolf ears. The hermits groaned after hearing what their king had to say. "Couldn't you like, text us or sent us a note?" Gem complained, she was holding a black cat plush in her hands. "Ah- no." Ren replied, soon smiling about that remark. "So I woke up to Bdubs' horrible trumpeting?" Doc asked groaning silently. "Yes-" "Hey!"

"Your all excused." Ren told them and most of them got up and left, others had to be dragged to their bases after falling asleep. Scar sighed and got up, he carried Grian back to his base then went to sleep again. So for the rest of the morning, you wouldn't see any hermits out an about till 10AM.

Grian got up from his bed and changed his shirt and pants. He liked the comfort of his Red hoodie and decided to wear it again. He was still tiered but ignored it and went to Dwayne. He worked on the birch bridge on the side of the ginormous rock, then stopping to stare at the rift.

Just let me take control for a little bit.

Grian only sighed and talked back.

No, remember last time?
No
Of course you don't. But either way, no
The hard way it is

Grian was slightly afraid of what his watcher side meant by the hard way. He shrugged it off and continued to work on the build, half way of the building, everything went dark. He was in a pitch black world, a small purpleish figure was walking up to him, they were getting bigger and bigger until he was now a few feet taller than Grian. Said hermit stared up at that inhumanly person.

Zel.. what are you doing?
You wanted the hard way.
I had no say in this!?
I gave you a chance, you didn't take it,
I didn't want to start a war Zel! This server is peaceful as it is.

Zelqua or Zel only stared down at his player figure. The watcher only sighed and brought his hand up, a string of purple held Grians Wings, Arms and Legs in place. He squirmed trying to get out of the strings grasp.

Let me go Zel!
Zel!
Stop it!

Grian mentally yelled at himself. He kept squirming in place his wings hurting in the process. At one point it started bleeding from how tight the strings started to pull.

I'll stop, if you let me gain control.
..
So? The strings only gets tighter by the minute.
Fine

Grian stoped moving, he hands turning a shade of purple and blue. He wings dripping blood. Zel smirked and placed a hand on Grians head and patted it. Grian only growled at the touch.

Let me go.
I lied, but you did let me gain control. I'll see you later.
ZEL!
ZELQUA! GET BACK HERE AND UNTIE ME!

Grian cried out, as the string started getting tighter and tighter around his wings. Zelqua vanished as he was going to finally gain control after all those years stuck in that horrible mind scape prison. Grians wings started bleeding even more, he knew that this might as well be his death.

Zelqua was in control of Grians body, his eyes turned a purple instead of the normal red he had. His wings had a purple tint to it now, his tail the same too. He inhaled and exhaled the cold air that flew past him. "Oh how it was good to be back." He stated bringing his wings out, it being 8ft long. He jumped down and started flying, he liked this freedom. And he wanted to keep it. So the next step was planning the attack on Ren.

He flew over to the central place in Hermitcraft, since there was no shopping district just yet, it would be called the center of Hermitcraft. He saw that most hermits were there talking to friends or just touring around the place. He landed and ignored the greeting of the hermits. He brought out a sword which False noticed and stopped him dead in the tracks after seeing him go to Ren.

"Woah Woah. Stay put Grian." False grabbed his shoulders, Zel ignored her and tried moving. Cursed this weak body he thought. "Grian?" Mumbo called out. Zel stopped right in his tracks. "My name is not Grian." He whispered, only the hermits who were nearby heard it and got confused. "Yo Gri. Dude are you trying to kill me?" Ren asked him seeming confused and worried that he did something wrong. Zel stayed quiet and laughed. He nodded quickly which the hermits either sighed knowing this was expected or gasped in shock. "Are you trying to Start another war?!" Bdubs yelled at him.

Zel only smiled Emily and nodded again. At this point, someone had called Xisuma, which he came as soon as possible. "What's the issue?" He asked Jevin who just wanted to buy some Pie. "Grian wants to kill Ren and Start another war." Jevin explained then went into the Pie shop.

"Grian-" "I AM NOT GRIAN!" Zel yelled at the admin, to which Xisuma was taken aback. Grian had his wings expanded halfway, knocking False off him. Zel laughed silently, "Grian can die in deepest pits of the server. I don't care about him! I will get is mine! ONE WAY OR ANOTHER." Zel laughed out, the hermits knew that this wasn't their Grian. His wings were tinted purple and his eyes were purple too. How did they not notice that?

"Where is Grian?" Pearl asked, knowing who this is. Zel smiled at Pearl. "ZELQUA WHERE IS GRIAN?!" She yelled at him, "Trapped, in the mind scape. He should be slowly bleeding to death! Ooh how fun that is!" He smiled happily jumping up and down. The hermits were terrified at what he just said. How can a person be so happy that someone would be dying, and the fact it was their lovable chaos maker too? "Shiwshwammy, can you do something?" Keralis asked him, Xisuma nodded and whispered in his ear t give him some time.

Keralis nodded and gave each hermits a private message. "So.. Grian." "IM NOT GRIAN." "Zelqua.. what do you even want?" Cub asked him, being very annoying to the watcher. "I just want Grian to suffer. And to cause a war." He responded, "and why's that?" Stress asked. "I've been stuck in a mind scape for years! I want to do something.. Fun." He said staring right into Rens souls. The wold hybrid wasn't scared, he would do anything to save Grian and being confident is the first step in that goal. Xisuma smiled, thanks for the hint Zelqua he went into Grians code and saw there was a life signature in his code, so he did some stuff and pressed a button. The hermits in the area was teleported into a black abyss. Leaving Zelqua ranting sbout his problems.

"Find Grian, get back home. That's the plan." Xisuma said, the others nodding knowing this was expected. Teh first part was pretty easy actually. They could see a small figure wearing a red hoodie and black pants floating in mid air. They all ran to the figure until teh caught sight of what was happening. Grian was held by a purple string on his legs, arms and wings. A pool of blood was below him, and what some could tell, he was bleeding from his wings. Grians eyes were closed shut, his body still as a rock.

"Cmon help me get him down." Pearl said running up to him, but was stopped when Zel had suddenly appeared. Instead of Grians body, he was in his own watcher body. "You know it's not nice to leave somebody when their ranting about life issues." He glared at them all, pushing Pearl to the side. "But I need the birdie to die, so I can keep control over his body." Zel told them bring out a diamond sword. The hermits doing the same. They all started fighting against him, Pearl got up and went to Grian, Stress following along with Mumbo.

The three worked together to get Grian off those strings. Pearl getting his legs, Mumbo the Arms and Stress the wings, Stress looked at the damage on his wings, a large cut could be seen. She got out some bandages and wrapped the wings up. "This'll only stop the bleeding, I need to bring him back to help him recover." She explained, giving the limp body to Mumbo, which he carried Bridal style. Stress nodded at Xisuma who was at the side surrounded by panels. He pressed a button again and all hermits except Zel was out of the mind scape.

They were teleported into Impulses base, which he screamed. "How did you guys get here?" Impulse asked, "No time to explain, do you have healing potions?" Stress asked, Mumbo next to her. "Yes, chest over there." Impulse pointed looking at the limp body of Grian in Mumbos arms. She ran to the Che's, got some potions and poured it into a bandage. She took the old bandages off which were soaked in blood and replaced it with those. It was a quick minute before Grian had gasped for air. "Grian breath. Your safe now." Doc went up to him and hugged him making sure to not hurt his wings anymore. "It h-hurt so much!" He whimpered hugging Doc back. "You can rest now." Doc replied, which Grian nodded and fell sleep shortly. Doc heard snaps of a camera and saw the hermits taking pictures. "I swear to god, if you send that to anyone or tell anyone. I'll start aggressively poking you." He smiled at them, the hermits putting their cameras away.
