[Xavier/Grian]

     I stood in the base. We had just finished the zombie-trap. Tango had disappeared somewhere in the base, I didn't know where. I looked around and didn't see anyone else. I sighed. Grian should come back soon, this was his body after all.

I heard the communicator buzz and took it out.

     I sighed. Another meeting that we were going to miss. This time it was a private one, only the Mains were invited. I turned around as I heard footsteps behind me. As I turned I saw Jevin standing behind me.

"Hey!" He greeted me smiling and waved slightly.

"Oh, hey Jevin!" I gave him the-most-Grian-like-smile I could.

"Are you feeling better? At least you seem like you are!" He looked at me a bit curiously.

I nodded, "Yeah, I'm alright now!"

"That's good to hear! It would be a shame if you got badly hurt just a couple of days before the ceasefire comes down!" The blue slime said.

"Yeah, that would be a small disaster," I agreed nodding.

"Well, I gotta go help Stress with something. See you later!" He waved before walking away.

As soon as he had left, I turned around to see The Lead Watcher Xenex in front of me.

"You really shouldn't sneak into the server. What if someone sees you?" I pointed out.

"Xisuma knows that I'm here and he is okay with it. And the other admins and the Watchers know too," He shrugged. "Aand the players will just think that I am 'Suma's "evil clone" called "Evil Xisuma"", The white haired Watcher let out a slight laugh.

"They also think that "Evil Xisuma" is banned from the server!" I continued and the Watcher just smirked.

"Not such a big deal, nothing to worry about," He laughed.

I shook my head smiling and rolled my eyes.

"Btw, I heard that you were injured in the Watchers' HQ attack," He looked at me and tilted his head a bit.

"Yeah, just a couple of deep cuts. One happened to get some kind of poison in it," I shrugged.

"Ouch, that probably hurt," He grinned.

I nodded, even though it had been Grian's problem, not mine.

"Shit! Someone's coming! Gotta go! See ya!" He panicked before disappearing in front of my eyes.

I turned around to see Cleo and Joe walk in. They both waved at me before disappearing to the second floor.

And now I got to do something actually useful. I just didn't know what would that be.

[No one]

     The Mains has been gathered around a single table. Alden was sitting in front of Mao and Edita, Kasen on Edita's left side. The others were around them. No one really knew what the meeting was about. Only Mao and Alden, obviously, seemed to be aware. Only Godiva, Blake, Upton, Xelqua, Sherenidy and Oskari were missing. The seven others were there. Everyone's attention was focused on Alden, the oldest and also The Main Leader.

"The meeting might begin," The black haired Watcher and admin started.

Everyone gave him a nod.

"We need to have a meeting about the Watcher Academy incident. So we decided to have a private meeting before the bigger meeting," The brown haired admin from his right side started.

"About the old Watcher who taught black magic to the students?" The blonde admin asked from the Main Leaders left side asked.

"Yes. We have to be careful and start keeping an eye on the Watcher Academy," The brunette answered.

"It will be a bit difficult since the admins are not allowed to go there," A white haired admin pointed out.

"∴╎リᓭꖎ𝙹∴ has a really good point," A blonde Watcher mentioned.

"Yeah, that also means that this case will be in the hands of our Watchers. The admins can't really help," The brunette nodded.

"Us?" The blonde Watcher tilted his head.

"Yes ᓵ⍑ᒷℸ ̣," The brunette nodded again.

"When リ╎↸|| comes back, she'll be taking this case to her hands," The Main Leader spoke out.

Chet and Kasen, who were the only Watchers there, if we didn't talk about Alden, nodded slightly.

"Does anyone have any questions?" Alden asked looking around.

Everyone shook their heads.

"Then this meeting is dismissed," He nodded.

[Grian]

     I finally opened my eyes and took the control of my own body. I looked around. Xavier had went AFK right after I came back. I had no idea what had happened. I decided to check out my communicator to and saw the conversation in 'The Mains'-chat. It didn't seem to affect me, yet. Now I had to figure out what had happened in the G-team base while I was AFK. I started heading towards the meeting room as I heard something behind me. I turned around to see no one. I looked around knowing I wasn't alone.

Then I saw it. A white mask on the floor. A cracked white mask.

I slowly walked to the mask and picked it up dropping it right away. It hit the floor. I knew whose mask that was.

Then I saw something felling down from the ceiling. I held my hands and it landed on my hands. A piece of paper.

'We are watching'

I crushed the paper, picked a flint and steel and burned it.

"It's not everyday ya see a Watcher burning a message of theirs own," I turned around when I heard a soft voice speaking.

"Who are you?" I stared at the person, Watcher, who was standing a couple of meters away from me.

"Don't suggest that angry tone. Doesn't fit ya. But I go by the name of Teni. Don't think ya ever heard that," The Watcher spoke out.

They were wearing a purple cloak with the hood on, covering their hair. Only thing I could see was the white mask with the purple symbol and their purple halo and black wings.

"Why are you here?" I gritted my teeth.

"What's ya mean? Ya know what I am," Teni, or whatever their name was, tilted their head.

"I know that you are a Watcher, like myself. But why are you here in this server.?" I answered with a question.

"Ah, I've gotten a mission. Someone wants ya dead, ya know," They shrugged. "But if ya think that I am here to kill ya, I'm not."

I glared at them without saying anything. I didn't want to trust them.

"The one who wants ya dead is dead too, ya know? But my mission still stands," The said.

"Then why don't you try to kill me?" I spat the words out.

"Because there's something I need to do with ya before I kill ya," They said tilting their head.

"I don't think that I understand your logic," I said glaring at them.

They shrugged. "Nah, not that important, ya know. But now need to go. See ya later, Xelqua," They said and then they were gone.

I watched as a single one of their black feathers fall to the ground and gritted my teeth. There was only one person who I know that would want me dead...

I turned around and carefully picked up the mask from the floor. I looked at it for a silent while before putting it to my ender chest. I was caught off guard as someone walked in and jumped when I heard my name.

"Grian? Is everything alright?" I turned around to see Stress.

"Yeah, you just caught me off guard," I let out a slight laugh.

"Oh my, I'm sorry," The brunette gave me a apologizing smile but also let out a slight giggle. "But hey, only a few days before the ceasefire comes down. What do you think of the base, are we going to be ready soon?" She continued.

"Yeah, we'll be ready soon. I'll have to find Iskall and we can hopefully finish the base in a couple of hours or something like that," I nodded.

"Great!" Stress smiled. "Oh and we were supposed to have a meeting soon," She said.

I raised my eyebrows. I didn't know about that.

"Oh, Iskall wanted to have that!" Stress said after she noticed my reaction.

"Oh, alright," I nodded. "Is it now?" I continued asking.

The brunette nodded.

"Should we go to the meeting room then?" I asked.

"Yeah, they're probably waiting for us," She smiled and turned around starting to walk towards the bubble-elevator.

I followed her to the elevator and up to the meeting room where everyone else was already waiting.

"So, what is this meeting about?" I sat down and looked at Iskall.

"I thought that we should make some plans for the war," The Swede told everyone.

I looked around to see everyone agree.

"Then we're going to make plans," I smirked.

[No one]

     A Watcher stood in a room leaning against the wall. Another Watcher was sitting next to a table facing the other. He had his hood down reveling his dark brownish hair.

"Tell me, dear. How did it go? Did you kill him?" The brown haired Watcher asked.

"No. I didn't kill them. Didn't see that important. And I thought ya were supposed to speak Galactic?" The other answered.

"You fool! You should have done that! And I can speak whatever I want to and you're not allowed to say anything about it!" The Watcher spat.

"I'm sorry Master. But I didn't see a reason to kill 'em," The other apologized.

"Dear, honey, sweetheart. There is always a good reason to unnecessarily sacrifice someone!" The Watcher got up and walked to the other. "And now you will pay for not doing it!"

The other froze as he walked to them. They hadn't expected this. They had thought their master wouldn't do something like this.

"W-why..?" They spoke as the Watcher pulled out a obsidian sword.

"Aw, Teni, you thought I would let you get away without killing the Main Watcher?" He laughed.

"N-no.." Teni swallowed as the Watcher moved the obsidian sword to their neck.

"Too bad, now you won't make it out without paying," He laughed.

Then Teni's scream cut the air as he pulled their left eye out. Teni fell to their ground and tears were falling down on their face. The Watcher kicked them a multiple times and then cut their wings off, as they screamed in pain.

"Now you better apologize!" He laughed.

"╎-╎'ᒲ ᓭ-ᓭ𝙹∷∷||! ╎'ᒲ ᓭ𝙹∷∷|| 𝙹リᒷ⚍ᓭ, ╎'ᒲ ᓭ𝙹 ᓭ𝙹∷∷||! !¡ꖎᒷᔑᓭᒷ, ᒲᔑᓭℸ ̣ ᒷ∷ 𝙹リᒷ⚍ᓭ! ╎'ᒲ ᓭ𝙹∷∷||! ╎'ᒲ ᓭ𝙹 ᓭ𝙹 ᓭ𝙹∷∷||!" Teni screamed in Galactic.

"Tsk, I'll let you live, this time," He smirked and left Teni laying on the floor.

[Sherenidy]

     I looked at my communicator that had buzzed.

¬The Council¬

The Rookie Watcher Leslie
The Watchers have attacked
Mineplex! Help needed! (18.32)

Mao
All Rookie and Lead Admins! (18.32)
And Main Admins! (18.32)
If you're available! (18.33)
GO! (18.33)
NOW! (18.33)
Also the Lead Watchers! (18.33)
The Main Watchers be aware! (18.33)
We're not going to fell for the
same trick twice! (18.34)

I sighed. The Watchers were striking again. I saw people running around like headless chickens looking for their weapons.

"HEY! STOP BEING CHAOTIC AND GO!" I shouted and they started panicking more.

I sighed and face-palmed.

It took around five minutes for everyone to get out of the Main HQ. I looked the last admin leave out of the door. I turned around and walked past Reed and Ned, who were commanded to stay and guard the doors through the attacks, and gave them both a nod as I walked through the second floors doors.

I looked up and saw Godiva leaning against the hallways wall.

"You shouldn't be here. You're supposed to be resting," I sighed and walked to her.

"I know, I know.." She mumbled as I moved her hand over my shoulders and helped her to the living rooms couch.

It probably looked kinda funny since she is around 163cm and I am 145cm.

She sat down on the couch and I looked at her.

"Why are you walking around?" I asked her.

"⊣𝙹ℸ ̣  ℸ ̣ ╎∷ᒷ↸ 𝙹⎓ ⋮⚍ᓭℸ ̣  ꖎᔑ||╎リ⊣ ╎リ ᒲ|| ʖᒷ↸," She answered and I sighed.

I crouched a bit to look at her eyes better, even though we were both wearing the Watchers' masks, and placed my metallic-arm on her cheek.

"You should rest," I whispered.

She sighed and laid down. I jumped over her and sat on the head-rest, or whatever it is, and took my communicator out while keeping an eye on the injured Watcher.

I started reading the messages about the attack and froze as I realized. This wasn't planned by it. This was started by the Watchers themselves, the black winged Watcher.
