Is It Enough?
Joe walked around with Cleo. Showing her the other hermits in hope of her remembering.
She smiled. "Everyone is so nice but I still can't remember anything. Who else is there?
"Well, there's Evil Xisuma, but I don't know if you want to see him. Doc, but he's disappeared. I haven't seen him since the battle. And Scar. We'll see him next."
They walked over to Scar.
He turned to them.
"Hey guys! What's up?"
"I'm just showing Cleo to everyone. Trying to make her remember."
"Oh of course. Anything I can do."
A while later they left. No luck. They walked back to Joes base
"Dammit! Why won't anything work?" Joe punched his table.
"I guess it's not that easy." Cleo sighed.
Joe turned around and looked a picture on the wall. It was a picture he and Cleo took a while ago. He wanted those times back.
Suddenly he heard a yelp behind him. He turned around and a cloaked figure had a bag over Cleos head. He quickly ran to her but her and the figure disappeared. It must have been a enderporter. He took a deep breath and quickly ran out the door.
Finally he found Xisuma and grabbed him.
"Someone took Cleo!"
"What?" Xisuma looked confused.
"This person came in with a cloak around them. They grabbed Cleo and teleported away."
"Dammit. It must've been Iskall." He put his hands on his head. "Why is nothing going right"
"I'm getting her back."
"You can't go after her. That's probably what they want."
"I don't care"
"Joe." Xisuma said firmly. "If you go, you'll only get hurt. Promise me you won't go."
Joe paused. "Fine. I won't"
"Thank you. I know this is hard."
Joe said nothing and flew off. He finally landed at Keralis's base. He found Keralis resting inside.
"Keralis, I need your help."
The hermit looked up at him. "With what?"
"Iskall. I think he took Cleo."
Keralis's face filled with anger. "Let's get her back."
Joe nodded. "That's the plan."
They flew until they found the looming castle. Keralis dropped tnt and it blew the front door apart. They flew in and saw Iskall, Grim and Stress ready for battle. Hels ran out from downstairs and from upstairs came out Mumbo and Grian. Grian was still tired and covered in redstone dust.
"My door!" He screamed.
Iskall looked at the two. "What do we have here?" He looked at Joe. "I haven't seen you since you took our only source of an army."
Joe got straight to the point. "Where is she?"
"Where is who?"
"Don't play dumb with me! Cleo. I saw you take her. Covered in a black cloak."
"That wasn't me. You'll never catch me in a black cloak. It's really not my colour. Besides, if it was any of us, why would we go in disguised?"
Keralis paused. "They have a good point. I think he might be telling the truth."
"No way. Who else could it be?"
Iskall shrugged. "Wherever she is, it's not here. Now I'd love for you to stay and chat but you just blew a hole in our house. So you better scram or you'll have to deal with us."
Keralis looked at Joe anxiously. "I think we should leave."
"You don't actually believe these freaks?" He barked angrily
"I do. And I think if we stay we'll get hurt."
Joe didn't break his gaze with Iskall.
"Joe, we'll search the entire server. Let's just go."
"Fine. But if she's not anywhere else. I'm coming back."
Iskall shrugged. "Feel free. I'm always happy to kill more people."
Joe stepped back and the two hermits flew off.

"What was that about?" Hels sheathed his sword.
"I don't know. They think we took Cleo. I mean, I was planning it. But it looks like someone beat us to it."
"Ok then. Iskall, can you come with me?" Hels nodded to the basement.
"Sure"
The two of them walked down the stairs. Hels had been working on something. On a table sat a large device. Iskall had no idea what it was.
Hels picked it up. "Now I know that the immortality is pretty far away. It needs souls, right?"
"Yeah, it's a pretty hard thing to accomplish."
"Well this could help. A beam will shoot out the end and any living thing it hits will have the soul sucked out and into the gun."
"Wait, really? Show me."
Hels placed a mouse down on the table and pointed the weapon at it. He pulled the trigger and a beam shot out and hit the animal. Slowly a small silver orb came out and went into the gun. The mouse lay still.
"Wow. That's impressive. Next time we find ourselves on the battle field. When I give the word. Use it."
Hels nodded and Iskall walked out. When he was gone he smiled and pulled apart the gun and started to change the parts. It wasn't going to be doing any soul sucking. It was going to do so much more.

Xisuma watched as the ship docked signifying Pearls return. She jumped down, helped the crew tie the ropes then greeted him.
"Alright. I got more supplies. Weapons, food for the soldiers. A few people who had heard about the fight and were desperate to go."
"Thank you Pearl. It means so much"
"Also there was one more thing."
"There was?" Xisuma knew nothing of anything else.
"Scar requested I get the help from a oracle."
The admin turned his head to Scar. "Like someone who sees into the future?"
Scar smiled excitedly. "Yes! It can help us."
Pearl grinned. "Luckily for you. I know a girl."
From the ship a woman stepped down. She looked around mid twenties. She had long red hair with flowers in it and wore overalls with a green shirt.
"Everyone this is Geminitay."
"Call me Gem." The girl nodded her head to each of them.
Xisuma removed his helmet. "Word of the great oracle travels far and wide. The pleasure is all mine."
She giggled. "Don't think I haven't heard of the admin Xisumavoid. You know, you've caused quite a stir in the council of oracles lately."
Xisuma looked baffled. "Excuse me?"
"You'll find out soon. Now. I need a canvas and a comfortable floor."
A while later they stood in Xisuma's main room. Gem sat down cross-legged and placed the canvas infront of her. Suddenly her eyes started glowing green. The canvas started changing colour as flowers sprouted out of her hair and vines started to wrap around her arms. Suddenly the canvas started revealing a picture on it. It was Iskall. He had driven a sword into someone's stomach. But Xisuma couldn't tell who it was. It was like it wasn't painted in yet.
"Who is it." Scar seemed shocked.
"I don't know. It won't get any clearer." Her eyes stopped glowing and the painting remained unfinished.
"This has never happened before." Gem looked at Pearl. "Where are you staying? I think I'll crash with you for a few nights. I'm not leaving. I can't."
"This is a dangerous place to be at the moment. Are you sure?" Pearl sat next to her.
"Yeah. This is very interesting. As well as that I think I can help."
"Ok. Let's head to my place. You look exhausted."
Xisuma agreed. "Now we rest. Tomorrow we fight."

I've found it annoying to write this based in season 7
I'm glad I got to include the two new hermits though
Next chapter: Hollow Future
