Bawking up the Wrong Tree (1)

Author's Note: I had to. I haven't introduced Poultry Man into any storyverse, so here is the man himself.

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

 Ren's POV:

 Everyone in the server knew about Poultry Man. The weird 'vigilante' that served for chicken rights in the server. We all agreed that it was Grian even if the architech continuously disagreed with our statement.

 According to Grian, Poultry Man came out of a portal in Grian's base. He made Grain, against his will, to build that egg under Grian's base. 

 I give this exposition for a strong reason. Poultry Man had returned from his little 'vacation' and had proclaimed to all hermits that he has a plan against those who have wronged his brethren and sisters of the flock.

 The select people he targeted were Mumbo, Tango, Cub, Doc, Joe, and False. Now, I understand the more fighter and hybrid hermits being charged with 'evil chicken harming', but Joe? 

 Why would Joe do something bad to an animal? I just know that he buys food from the rest of us and grows his food. 

 I crossed my arms as Poultry Man dismissed us from the meeting. Grian obviously wasn't present, nor did he show up a moment later like he usually does. 

 " Well, I wonder what " Poultry Man " is going to do to me." Doc chuckled as he leaned against the wall. Joe let out a sigh, " Whatever it is. Ah just hope that it's simple to clean up." he sighed. I turned towards him.

 " Joe, what did you do exactly?" I questioned him as everyone looked at each other. The other hermits mumbled in confusion as Joe fixed his glasses, " I simply decided to move a chicken to more suitable place. Ah even gave her some seed." he answered with a frown.

 Cub let out a growl, " So, you get punished for just being nice? Bah! It's ridiculous that we have to put up with this." his tail twitched as he turned to walk towards Concorp. Scar waved us goodbye as he picked Jellie 2 up and chased after the vex. 

 The over hermits started to file out until Iskall, Mumbo, Doc, and I were left. Doc twitched his tail, " Mumbo, Iskall, can you two tell our detective partner that going after us for killing a few chickens is ridiculous?" he questioned.

 The Swede and Brit looked at each other. Mumbo frowned, " We can't..." he mumbled as he fiddled with his fingers. Doc stood up and tapped his hoof against the ground, " What the hell do you mean that you can't?" 

 Mumbo flinched as Iskall stood in front of him, " We haven't seen him since Poultry Man returned. I tried to call him, but it didn't go through. " the hermit explained.

 Doc let out a sigh as he turned and walked back towards our home. I looked at the others, " If Grian isn't found by today, I'll start to help you guys look." I told them as they nodded. The three of us split as I joined Doc on the walk back.

 I sighed as I sat on the roof of the stock exchange building. I could hear X playing his guitar with Joe; the two of them were in the shopping district.

 Laying down on the roof, I stared up at the darkening sky. With it being summer, I honestly couldn't be out this long without the mugginess getting to my fur. I was happy that X changed the weather for some relaxation after Poultry Man's little speech.

 Doc was calm by now, but he had thrown himself into his redstone work. I'm just glad that he has Price to help him with some of the advanced stuff that Doc is trying to learn. 

 " I should probably get inside." I sighed as I stood up. My tail thrashed as I stretched out. My ears perched up as the music suddenly stopped. 

 " They probably got tired..." I  mumbled as I walked down the stairs and into the home. There was a sharp hiss followed by insane laughter as I neared the lab area. 

 My tail went down as I grabbed the door handle.

 It was locked, just my luck. 

 " DOC?! DOC OPEN THE DOOR!" I shouted as I tried to force to the door open. The laughter ceased as a the sound of scrambling came from insane. I shook my head and took about four steps back.

 Well, we've been needing a new door for a couple of days now. This'll have to be the reason. 

 I charged into the door and bashed into it with my shoulder. This continued for a couple more tries until I flung myself into the door. 

 After recovering from the ground, I stood up as my tail thrashed around. 

 " Doc?" I hurried over to him as he laid on the ground. Doc's whole body was twitching as his tail laid motionless on the floor. 

 I put fingers on his neck. His pulse was weak as his cyborg eye shut off, " Ren....." he whispered as he coughed up some green feathers. I picked the hermit up and carried him to his bed in the corner.

 The hermit kept coughing up the same feathers, " What the hell happened?" I questioned as Doc wheezed, " Poultry.... burst in... needle.... body hurt....." he groaned as I detached his arm.

 I narrowed my eyes and pricked a green feather that was jutting out of his skin. The moment I did more feathers appeared. Doc hissed in pain and curled up as his body started to get smaller.

 " What.... What the hell?" I whispered as Doc covered himself with his blanket. The lump of my friend continued to shake as he cried out in pain. I tried to move toward him, but he told me to keep back.

 After a couple of minutes, Doc went silent. I took a couple of steps forward and gently removed the blanket. 

 In front of me, a green and black chicken with one wing was sleeping in Doc's lab coat.
