Author's Note: The next story. I decided to go with this one in honor of the Jangler being caught. Of course he ain't caught in this world, but he will be. Maybe. 

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

 Grian's POV:

 We were closer than ever to unmasking The Jangler once and for all. I could feel it in my bones.

 I stood outside of the Concorp Country Clubhouse in my normal red shirt and jeans. I didn't want to seem suspicious of course. 

 Ren and Doc landed down next to me quietly. The two were also in their normal clothing.

 " We're getting so close to unmasking this guy." Ren beamed as his tail wagged, " The clues have to lead here!" he threw his arms into the air as his tail wagged more.

 Doc looked at him happily. He had his arms crossed, " We know that it's either Cub or Scar...." he smirked devilishly.

 I frowned slightly, " Now, now, let's not jump to conclusions." I began as we started to enter the building. The two looked at each other then at me, " The last time you two jumped to conclusions Ren got killed by Stress...." I frowned.

 Ren shivered, " Respawning back in the other world made my back sore for a week...." he whined as his ears lowered. Doc patted Ren on the shoulder, " It was worthy sacrifice for the cause Ren." he grinned as Ren let out a chuckle.

 We entered the base and I quickly typed the code to the basement. The only reason why I even knew it was because of Cub's counterpart typing it in.

 The staircase was dark with only some faint lights that lit up the stairs. I frowned, " What do you guys see with your special eyes?" I questioned as Ren took my hand and gently led me down the stairs.

 " There isn't much G. Just the stairs." Ren let out a sigh as we entered the laboratory based room that the Convex had set up. 

 " Look over there!" Doc pointed as he straightened up. 

 Ahead of us there was a giant cookie with a jester's hat resting on top of it. The three of us looked at each other triumphantly.

 I crossed my arms over my chest, " Gentlemen...." I walked over to the chest in front of the cookie with my sword out, " We just figured out the next clue to the Jangler." I grinned.

 The three of us looked at each other, " I'm not going to stand there." Ren pointed down towards the rather obvious trap on the floor. 

 We all walked around the trapdoor configuration, " Well Doc...." I smiled as I looked up at the creeper-hybrid, " You and Ren wanted to find out who the Jangler was.... You two do the honors." I smiled.

 Doc shook his head, " No, this was a group effort. We do this together." he replied with a toothy grin. 

 Our little trio put our hands, or claws, onto the top of the chest. I smiled happily, " On three."

" 1...."

" 2...."

 " 3...!" 

 We all shouted as we opened the chest, but there was only a small book and a note. I took the book and Ren took the note.

 I admit that I was semi-disappointed at the contents.

 Ren opened the note and read it aloud with his eyes widened and ears down, " Look around my fellow hermits." he read in a low, scared voice. 

 There was the sound of redstone clicking and pistons pushing. Doc let out a yell, " R-RUN!" he pointed up towards the roof as potions littered the sky and fell towards us. 

 We all turned tail and booked it for the door, but it was gone! I tried to stop and ended up hitting the wall. 

 The potions started to rapidly hit us as I protected the book from getting ruined the liquid. Ren's tail twitched, " THE JANGLER GOT US AGAIN!" he shouted as we were at the mercy of the potions. 

 This raid of potions lasted a few more minutes. I groaned as I may have accidently smacked into Ren.

 When the potions stopped we all looked at each other. I let out a laugh towards Ren. His tail and ear fur were soaked. We all broke out into laughter.

 " Alright, he or she got us real good this time." I wiped my eye as the others calmed down. There was a weird pain in my elbow as Doc let out a gasp.

 Doc walked over to me and pulled up my shirt sleeve. I looked down at my arm towards three scratches in my elbow.

 " I didn't even realize that I hit you......" Doc whispered with a sad look. I raised my good hand and shook it, " You're fine Doc. I didn't feel it." I reassured him.

 The door opened. I shoved the book into my inventory, " We can continue this tomorrow guys." I yawned as they nodded. We all flew off in different directions towards our homes. Well, Ren still lives with Doc in the stock exchange building. 

 ((Timeskip brought you to by the Jangler dancing with happiness. Mighty just kind of watches them with a concerned look in the corner))

 I landed at my base and looked down at the scratches. There was an odd sense of nausea, but due to the height of my base that was expected. I changed into my pajamas and leapt into bed. 

 " Well, goodnight everyone...." I yawned as I curled up in bed and put the blanket on top of me and fell asleep.

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

 No POV:

 The night air was crisp as Grian curled up deeper in his sleep. The potion's and Jangler's little trick was going off without a hitch. 

 It all started with Grian's skin. The pale flesh turned to a light red and became scaly. These scales would cover his whole body. Grian, however, would only let out a purr in his peaceful sleep.

 The next part that would occur was three quills to jut out from the mysterious notches that Grian believed he received from Doc's own quills during the firing of the potions. The quills were a bright yellow and moved in sync to Grian's calm breathing. 

 If the red hermit was awake he would probably be screaming out of fear and agony.

 Grian's legs would soon change to that of creeper's back legs. He could still walk like he normally did, but he'd need to lean forward slightly. A small red tail would soon follow along with his feet turning into claws.

 The last bit of the transformation was Grian's hands turning into claws, his teeth becoming razor sharp, and his eyes morphing to become an inverted coloration. 

 It was a good thing that Grian remained in a deep sleep until morning.

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

More No POV:

 Ren was the next to be turned. He, thankfully, was also asleep, but him being asleep or awake didn't really matter in his transformation. 

 The only things that affected his body was the fact that his fuzzy ears and tail quickly lost their fur and sunk back into Ren's sleeping form. Ren briefly stirred, but he quickly resettled back into his pillow. 

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

One more No POV:

 Doc was awake through the second part of his own transformation. He woke up when his body was just finished turning to his pale, fleshy human self. He stood up and looked at the mirror in shock and awe.

 " W-what....?" Doc's voice was low as he looked at his human hand. He was going to speak again, but a fiery pain in his ears and lower pain caused him to yelp in pain. 

 The turning hermit wanted to scream as he forced himself to walk outside. He stood at the door frame of the stock exchange building and stared up at the moon. Doc looked down at the brown and black tail that shook out of his spine. 

 Doc lifted his human hand up and felt his fuzzy and rather pointy ears. There was this odd feeling that was growing inside him now as he looked back up towards the pulsating moon. 

 The next thing he knew he let out a howl that was so strong that it woke a confused and rather frightened Jevin up. 

 Doc retreated back inside after the howl was finished, " Maybe this is all just a bad dream...." he kept repeating to himself as he crawled back into bed to try sleeping.
