Before dropping the plot, this thing has over 1,000 reads now. So many people have read through this odd amalgamation of my rambles and headcanons. I don't know what to saw about it. 

 I'm thinking about doing the next hermitcanon, but I don't know which to cover. 

 There's Tango and Cub's tails.

 Headcanons about the relationships between the hermits, evolutionists, and stumpt four.

 Then there's the counterparts that could be covered (like Naughty Netty, NPC Grian, Robo-Grian, Sneaky Salem, and the dark realm of Evo).

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

Now for the p l o t:

 Evil X still needed to stall, and when he found the vials of the lake that Cub and Scar took in case a cure was ever needed again, well, EX knew what to do.

 Ex takes the vials, but before he can take off with them Joe stops him and questions him on what he's doing ( Joe has very little memory of having a horse mind. He also believes that EX still has some good left in him).

 The two are at a stand until EX gives up , and he splashes Joe with one of the vials he manages to scrunch up. The good news is that EX only got a hold of two of the potions. The bad news? 

 He managed to strike Doc, Ren, and X with the other. The group of four are brought to Jevin's house to get more of the cure created. This, however, doesn't go by plan when Jevin's slime side accidently absorbs some of the liquid still left on the boys.

 This leaves TFC, Cleo, and Biffa to help the little hermits out.
