~~Xisuma's POV~~

Almost immediately everyone gasped. I was more anxious than I'd care to admit. Mumbo spoke up and said "P-please tell me this is a prank."

We would usually laugh at this kind of prank, but there was an eerie feeling to this. I looked at everyone they all looked terrified. I sighed "I'll look at their stats okay guys?"

Everyone eased a bit, but there was still an uneasy feeling. I pulled up my admin screens to see the most glitched thing ever. It was an absolute mess I could barely read anything. I almost screamed seeing Scar's stats. This wasn't a joke, we needed to leave.

I cleared my throat turning everyone's attention to me. I stumbled over the things in my head before finally saying something "We need to leave. I don't need arguing am I understood! False and S-scar will be here in a minute."

Yes, I was unsure about the last bit, but I didn't need a whole server worrying. Everyone nodded and took off. The only one who hadn't took off was Doc. I had never seen Doc legitimately scared, he sounded like a different person when he spoke. "Xisuma you saw something on your admin screens. If you don't tell me what you saw I will make you say it."

I was taken back a bit before responding, "Scar has been put into hardcore and is on half a heart."

Doc seemed satisfied with the answer, but he still wasn't the Doc I knew. He took off with me following, we landed on the edge of the hole. Just looking at it.

-10 minutes later-

I heard a screaming sound from in the hole, everyone got up before I signaled for them to stay back. I flew down to see a teary eyed False, holding a limp Scar. She dropped Scar and fell back, losing conscious. I couldn't believe the state they were in. I called out for the rest of the hermits. "Guys get down here, NOW!"

When they flew down, they all gasped, most rushed to Scar who was in a worse physical state, while a few went to False trying to wake her up. Impulse propped False up against the wall, before getting up and looking at me. He whispered to me "What the heck happened"

I didn't know so either I could lie, tell them what I knew, or wait for either of the two to wake up. I couldn't lie about this, could I? I responded, "I don't know we have to wait."

Impulse nodded turning away, starting to help Stress with healing potions. You would've thought this was a part of a fan fiction, but no this was real. Grian tapped on my shoulder. I looked at him. "Yes?"

Grian seemed to have been the one of the calmer hermits in this situation, surprisingly. He looked at me straight in the eyes. He started speaking, "We can take them to my base, the bottom part is finished and is spacious!"

I nodded, turning around, announcing to everyone, "we will take Scar and False to Grian's base, I will see if I can figure anything out."

-Time skip-

We had been at Grian's base for hours, it was the dead of night, most of the hermits had returned to their base's but some like Stress, and Doc had stayed. I was starting to doze off when I heard coughing. I got up quickly to see, False trying to sit up.

I nearly cried out in joy seeing False up, but False seemed terrified. Stress gave False the healing potion, which False took gratefully. Doc on the other hand wasn't so.... let's just say patient. He pulled his chair next to False's bed and started interrogating her, "So False you want to explain why Scar was a bloody mess when you got to us."

False seemed fearful, but then she broke and started sobbing. No one had ever seen False like this, Doc seemed to back down once Stress started to yell at him. False choked out a few word's through her tears "I'll tell Xisuma just not with you guys around"

Everyone but me and False had got up and left, even Doc was annoyed about leaving. Then False broke down telling me everything that had happened.

I was horrified, I tried to calm her down when she passed out again, obviously from being so overworked. I called everyone in when Grian, handed me a book. I looked at him weirdly, "what?"

Grian gave a smile, "We were going through Scar's wizard books when we found this book about the Aether."
