Grian woke up in what looked like an incubator, standing in front of him was a scientist writing about stuff.

He could tell he was in wherever Bdubs was judging by the wall pallet and the design.

"Get ready, you're going to kill Mumbo."

"wh-what? Why would I listen to you?"

"Look, stop wasting my time and get on with the work."

"NO, I'M NOT LISTENING TO A PSYCHOPATH!"

"man, you're a tough one to negotiate."

The scientist flicked a mysterious lever on the wall, Grian turned around to find the same device strapped on Bdubs. Only this time it was charging up.

"WAIT! CAN'T WE TALK ABOUT THIS?!"

"Orders from our boss."

"Wait, what? Who do you mean-"

Before he could say another word, the device stabbed the red sweater hermit with some potion effects particles. His eyes quickly shut and fell into the black void.

"Boss, we got him."

"You actually got a job done for once. Cubfan..."

Grian woke up a couple of hours later, but he didn't seem to be in control.

"Boss, he's awake."

"Make sure to not let him escape, after what happened with Bdubs. I can't even believe you let Bdubs escape!"

"Boss, I'm sorry-"

The madman held the scientist's throat and choked him nearly to death.

"Do it one more time and I'll crush that skull of yours."

"ye-yes sir..."

The boss turned around to the red-sweater man.

"Listen to me, you weird kermit guy,"

"It's hermit, and why are you doing this?"

"DO YOU WANT ME TO CHOKE YOU LIKE HIM?!"

"No..."

"Good, then listen to MY orders. I'M in control and YOU do what you are as told. Take this and gulp it before I break your head."

"Ok..."

Grian took the liquid and slowly drank it. Grian wanted to spit it out so badly as it tasted horrible, but the madman forced the liquid down his throat."

"Oh god! What did you put in this?!"

"JUST DRINK IT SO I DON'T HAVE TO DO ANY WORK!"

The liquid finally went down his throat, only to have the sudden urge to murder.

"Good, now I'm in control. You're going to do whatever I say, do you understand?"

"Yes sir."

Grian didn't want to kill his best friend. But he couldn't do anything to stop. 

"And bring these potions, but use it wisely."

"Yes sir."

Grian was sent back down to Hermitcraft and started to look for Mumbo.

He first checked his starter base, lucky him Mumbo was in it. 

"Time to end him."

Grian wanted to kill in style, so waited for Mumbo to notice the Hermit standing at the corner of the window.

Pulling a knife out of his pocket, he smashed through the window and immediately ran for Mumbo.

Mumbo couldn't escape the killing machine and attempted to equip his elytra, but failed to do so, Giving Grian the chance to paralyze his leg by cutting it.

Grian said his last final few words to Mumbo before stabbing him in the chest. He wanted to cry, oh so badly, but he couldn't.

Grian was then asked to throw a potion at the zombie and got to work quickly.

Cleo was looking around for Mumbo but managed to find Bdubs instead of the mustache man.

"Oh my, where have you been!? We've been looking everywhere for you."

"Can't... move... need..."

Bdubs fainted on the spot. Cleo quickly ran to the scene and told X about it to meet at Bdubs base. While waiting for the others to come, He noticed Grian coming to the scene.

"OMG GRIAN? WE HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU TOO! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?"

"But Grian didn't move and pulled out his sword instead."

"Grian? What are you doing."

He immediately ran towards Cleo and tried to get a hit on the zombie.

Failed attempt.

The other hermits arrived at the scene, so Grian had to bail and teleport back to the mothership.

"I can't BELIEVE you would fail a task THIS SIMPLE. YOU COULD HAVE JUST THROWN THE POTION AT HER THEN BAIL, NOT BAIL BEFORE!"

"Sorry, sir, I didn't mean to."

"F**K YOU SON OF A B**CH. NOW I GOTTA DO PLAN B. THANKS FOR RUINING THE ORIGINAL PLAN! I'LL JUST DO THIS MYSELF! AND YOU BETTER NOT MAKE ANOTHER MISTAKE"

that was harsh...

"Cleo! are you ok?" The admin asked. "Here's some healing pots."

"Yeah, I am thanks, but focus on Bdubs. He can barely even breathe."

"This looks serious, Tango, send him back to my base. I'll take care of him."

"Wait, who tried to kill you?"

Grian.

Didn't use symbols this time, anyway Storm out!
