Pick up from the last chapter.

I stared at the blond woman who stared back with icy eyes. "What,"

"Ma'am, I am here for subject 77, he was last seen entering a portal to this server." She calmly states as we descend to the ground. "Two subjects, Subjects 77 and 135 escaped our facility, and 77 is reported to be on this server. Do you know where it is?"

I frowned as she waited for an answer. I had heard of the Vex, Scar has traces of it in his bloodline but it's distant.

I could tell she was trying to magic the truth out of me, it wasn't working.

That's something we always noticed with Scar, not that he could control it, we just felt compelled to tell him the truth about anything. The vex are nowhere as strong as even a tier tres, but they did have some interesting abilities. '

We could overpower them but the first rule that you always follow. Fighting is the last resort. Well unless it's The Watchers, they accept no diplomatic reasoning, ever.

"And what's going to happen after that?" X asks crossing his arms.

A thin fox-like smile slides onto her face, pale lips curling. "We just need him where he belongs."

"And with you is where he belongs?" I asked tilting my head. We were playing with them.

"Why of course, we created him, he's ours,"

"Actually according to chapter 215 section 3 of the nonhuman accords, no entity is allowed to hold, own, or possess another entity," I state and she narrows her eyes. "Those entities include the Vex, a usually peaceful species."

"Hand. Him. Over."

I tilt my head the other way before smiling. "I don't think so,"

"It wasn't a choice."

"Everything is a choice," X says stepping forward.

"Are you threatening me?" She sneers.

X scoffs. "If I remember correctly you're asking us to hand over a living creature so you can do what exactly?"

"He's coming with us," A pale man says stepping forward.

"No," I growl. "He's under the nonplayer accords, he stays," (I couldn't think of a better name.)

"That ancient piece of paper," The leading woman asks laughing with a high shrill like a laugh.

"Yes, that ancient piece of paper, " I mock matching her sly smile.

"Can we at least see him?" She asks. Something was brewing in her head, it was clear as day, but I also wanted to see this through.

"Fine," X says after I telepathically talk to him.

She smiles showing her teeth, she should never do that again. "Perfect,"

We had everyone come back. About ten minutes later everyone got here.

"Guys, these are the Vex," I shout.

I lock eyes with Doc and for the first time, I see fear in his eyes. Whatever he has endured I will not send him back, ever. "Ok you've seen him, now leave." X states opening a portal.

"No," She says overly polite.

I cross my arms. "It wasn't a choice."

"He comes with us."

I step in front of Doc. "He doesn't."

'I've had enough of this' X telepathically tells me. I agree and we decide on arresting them.

"With the authority of the Admins you five are under arrest for attempted kidnapping, server destruction, illegal server entry, you have the right to remain silent, anything and everything you say will be used against you in court," I state summoning handcuffs. At first, they try to flee but with a flick on my wrist, I have them magically frozen. These cuffs are magic dampening as well.

We placed them in a maximum-security prison just like Zander's. But now we have some questions for two certain Hermits.

"Doc, Cub, we need to talk," X says calmly in his office. I'm sitting on the sofa in his office, X is at his desk. The Dream SMP still stayed overnight as they were way too intoxicated to portal travel.

"Furthermore, we need to know why they are after you two," I state as they sit on the couch across from me.

"6 and a half years ago I was where you would call nowhere. The space between the Overworld and the Nether. There The Vex has developed a lab, it's above the build limit, in The Original Nether. Except when you try to find it you can't, where it should be in space.

At 7 I was taken from my home in the Hub. They experimented on me, made me this creeper hybrid when I was ten. When I was 13 they took my arm and replaced it, when I was 15 they did the same with my eye. 11 years later I managed to escape, I took Cub with me but I have no idea what they've done to him. A year later I join you guys." Doc explains.

"Well, there will be procedures on what we do next." I calmly state not sure of what else to say. "Thank you for trusting us Doc.

"Who else could I trust?" He says smiling.

"Cub if you don't mind?" X says.

Cub nods. "Unlike Doc, I was born in the lab. My parents were already their prisoners, their lab mice. For a long time, they didn't do anything to me. But one day, I'm not sure how old I was I'm not sure how old I am. But one day they injected me with a serum and when I woke up I was 65. I met Doc who was in the cell across from me, we talked all the time. One day he says he knows how to get us out of here, but only us. Despite feeling awful for my parents I know they would want me to get out of there. So I did, we ran and two years later I got an invitation to join you guys. Now I'm here."

"Thank you for trusting us," I whisper not wanting to get into the boring shit.

"Please don't dwell on it," Doc pleads.

I nod and so does X. "Of course, it's not our place."

"What we have to do is place you guys on maximum protection, four tier dos's each, all times of the day. " I tell them.

"I understand," Cub says shrugging.

"Well it's a good opportunity for Jones," I tell X. Jones has been so close to being demoted to tres, this is an opportunity for him to prove himself.

"You sure?" X says.

I nod. "I'll stick Williams with him." Willaims takes no shit from anyone.
