W E L S

Everyone was just hanging out in various places within the castle. X was enjoying the sun for once, well, he really didn't have a choice. Keralis, Bdubs and Beef had basically picked our admin up by the arms and carried him out, got him to get changed into something more casual and threatened to tie him to the horse stables if he didn't comply. I, along with some of the others had laughed at him.

I was in the kitchen making food with Iskall, all the while EX sat on the counters and refused to get off, when it happened. A boom from outside the castle walls then I heard Joe hills and Cub scream. The whole floor shook. Iskall had ran out immediately. Evil X, Helsknight and I all looked at each other before Hels had grabbed his sword from the counter and follwed the Swede with a murderous look in his eye, Ex and I follwing behind.

In the courtyard, I could see Cub and Joe being treated by Stress and Keralis while Tango, Jevin, Cleo and Bdubs were trying to close the gate, but not knowing how to. Mostly just Jevin and Bdubs using their powers. I ran over and helped close the gate. "Thanks. I don't know how long the two of us could hold them off for." Jevin had said, turning to the brunette and hugging him. I nodded then turned to the others.

"I need a headcount!" I screamed over everyone. Everyone just kept talking. I rolled my eyes and let my dragon scare them. I roared loudly, gaining attention. I was the one giving orders now. I was done playing. "I said, I need to headcount! No one move or talk!" I pointed to all 25 hermits plus all the extra helpers. I was missing two. I froze. "Where is Ren and Skizz?" No one spoke. "ANSWER! NOW! I'm not playing around. No one answers, Hels will make sure you answer. So either speak up now or Hels will make you!"

False had raised her hand. "I saw Ren go with Doc to help him gather some more redstone." Then the creeper spoke up. "I came back. Ren said he wanted to grab more resources so I left without him." I sighed. "And what about Skizz?" This time Zedaph spoke up. "He had told me he wanted to be alone for a bit. So he left in the direction of Beef's house." Zed's voice was shaky. "If he is hurt or dead, I'LL KILL YOU!" Impulse screamed, grabbing Zedaph's shirt collar and screaming in his face. Zed cowered away, before I spoke up again. "Impulse, let Zed go, Doc, tell that wolf to get back here now! And I will go with Jevin to get Skizz."

Impulse looked as if he wanted to argue, but thought better of it. "None of you are going to fuck with me right now! This is MY castle. It is MY job to protect all of you. A dragon is nothing to mess with when pissed." I said and let my dragon out, picking up the slime in my claws and taking off before anyone could argue.

Jevin and I found Skizz fast. He didn't seem to be hurt, thank void, but he didn't seem to know that they were here, either. Instead of answering the ravenette's questions, I simply picked him up with my other claw and flew back.

By the time I got back Ren was there unhurt. I landed, let go of the two and changed back. "New rule," I stated. "No one is alowed to be outside these walls alone! Any rulebreakers, I won't hesitate to let my dragon play 'catch the hermit in mid air free fall' with you." Most looked scared. As they should be." Those who had thought this a game like Scar, Zed and Gem, finally knew. That this wasn't a game and that I was not messing around.

They kept trying to get in the walls al night. Myself, Fwhip, Joey and False stood at the way in or out of the castle, ready to swordfight if need be. From where I stood, I could see the room that I had given to X and saw that his light was still on. I sighed and turned to False next to me. "You okay with me leaving for a bit to go knock out the admin?" SHe nodded. "He needs sleep more than anyone else on this server. I nodded and walked inside. First, I popped my head into each room to see if everyone was asleep first before heading up to X.

I saw Joel sleeping with Etho and Beef, Grian and Solidarity snuggled up together in solidarity's room and Impulse, Skizz on the bed in Impulse's room with Zedaph and Tango curled up on the floor, hugging each other. I could feel the heat Tango was giving off even from the doorway.

I smiled before shutting the door and walking upstairs to X's tower. I opened his door to see him passed out on top of his keyboard, his helmet and green armor off. I tried not to laugh as I grabbed a blanket and putting it around his shoulders, before I shook my head a smile on my face. I made sure that whatever he was working on was saved before shutting his pc off then picking him up and puting him back down on his bed. But before I could leave the room, he spoke up. "Wels? What are you doing in here?" I turned to him. "Making sure everyone was asleep. You want to see three cute things?" I showed him the pictures of Etho, Beef and Joel as well as Grian and Solidarity and Impulse, Skizz, Tango and Zedaph. He smiled. "Cute. We must preserve this cuteness." I giggled a bit.

"Hey, uh, do you think I could go with you tonight?" I was confused. He wanted to stand at the door? But then it hit me. He wanted to fly with me. I smiled and nodded. "Meet me in the courtyard in a moment." I rolled my eyes and left the room to go down to those at the door. Joey was the first to see me. "How is your admin?" "Wanted to go for a flight. I didn't have the heart to say no." I laughed. False smiled. "So we get to see it too?" I nodded."

Xisuma came down still in his pjs but had wrapped his fluffy blanket around his shoulders. "May not need that. You still kinnda need to hang on." X was confused. I let my dragon out and grabbed him with my claw and put him where I had placed Impulse. "I think he means you need to hold onto his horns, X" False had stated. I chirped in agreement. He tied his blanket around his waist tightly and held on. I had opened my huge silver wings and took off. I soon heard him laughing hystarically. 'Having fun?' I chirped. He seemed to understand me and nodded. I tucked my wings in once I got above the clouds before plunging downwards overtop the castle before pulling up at the last minute before spinning. I heard the others in the courtyard laughing.

I saw an explosion go off at Keralis's horse area and I landed. I saw Doc making a contraption. X must have realized what was about to happen. I flew overtop Doc and swiped him up in my claw and flew back to the castle and landing. I dropped Doc to the ground and turned back, X being held bridal style in my arms. I soon let go of him and Grabbed Doc. "X, go back to your room and go to sleep. I have to deal with this rulebreaker tomorrow morning." He nodded and I had dragged the creeper down into the dungeons and put him into a cage. Movement caught me eye, and I turned to see my counterpart. "Can't sleep," was all he said. "Good. Watch this rulebreaker. I'll deal with him tomorrow in front of the others. Make an example out him."

Hels looked shocked at the tone in my voice before nodding. "With pleasure."

With that taken care of, I walked back upstairs and went back to the door. False, Joey and Fwhip looked at me, but didn't say anything.

The next morning, I had asked Hels and EX to bring Doc out into the courtyard. Everyone was there. I whistled to get everyone's attention. They listened to me this time. "Last night we had a rulebreaker." Some of the hermits gasped. "Hels? EX?" They brought a sleepy DocM, who wasn't even fighting. "Wait, what did Doc do?" Asked Bdubs. "I had asked everyone to not go out of this castle alone. And he broke the rule. What were you even working on? A tnt launcher?" He blinked his one good eye. "No. I was working on a machine to protect the castle." He started. "But it blew up on me." I shook my head at him.

"Let this make an example for everyone." I let my dragon out again, grabbed Doc in my mouth and took off like a bullet and went straight up. The sky was a clear sunny warm day. I suddenly let go and dropped him. Then flew down to catch him. I did that a couple times before I got bored. I wanted to scare him, but not kill him. So I let go of him and let him fall before catching him just before he hit the ground. I let him drop from my mouth after I landed. "And that's what's going to happen. I'm trying to protect everyone, but I can't do that when you don't follow my rule." I replied to the shocked hermits after I turned back.

"Now, I want Skizz, Impulse, Bdubs, Tango and Keralis and Beef to help me. I need to start on the trap. And you guys are going to help me. Iskall and Cub are on gate watch." I turned to the girls. "Stress, Cleo, False, Pearl and Gem could you make some different potions?" They nodded and went inside. "Grian, take a team of five into the nether. I need some blaze rods and anceient debris." He nodded. "I'll take Hels, Mumbo, Xb, Fwhip and Hypno." Grian replied. I nodded. "Everyone else, just hang out here." A hand on my shoulder had me looking at the admin. "Want me to look up how to distroy a watcher? Their weakness may be our strength." I nodded. "Take Joe with you." The two of them went inside to my library. As an afterthought, I turned to Doc and Ren. "Go to your machiene, Doc. Take Ren with you." He nodded skakily.

With that settled, I took my group of 6 to a good place for a watcher trap.

_

I went through the portal into the nether. Where I grew up. "Okay. I'm going to split us up into two groups," the blond gremlin known as Grian stated. Ancient debris hunting goes to Hels, myself and Mumbo. Hypno, Xb and Fwhip blaze rods and maybe if we can, a lot of wither heads. I have an idea for withers vs watchers." Grian cackled evily. "Can I just say, I love you." I said. " Chaos and carnage is my thing." I stated. "We are definately going to get along, Helsknight." I smiled. "Good."

With that said, the three of us mined downwards in different places so we weren't getting in the way of others. I had informed to the other four that I was lava and fire proof, so I wasn't going to die from it.

By the time we all met up again, we shared one look then headed back out. But there was a problem. There were two watchers in the courtyard. I quickly looked to the gate. Only Cub seemed to be alive. I blinked. Excuse me? This was MY server to destroy! Not watchers out of everyone. Hypno quickly worked into action, taking both Xb and Grian inside behing the watchers. They haven't seen us yet.

One watcher held Xisuma in the air by his throat, the other was trying to get to my brother who had a ring of ice spikes surrounding his dragon form. The watcher couldn't get to him. I quickly turned to Fwhip, the last one, and pushed him in the direction of Cub. He nodded and ran over to him. I sighed. Just then, another person came running over behind the first one and stabbed him from behind. He had wielded the banned sword. With that chaos, the second watcher turned and ran over but I used that distraction to my advantage, breaking open Welsknight's coccoon of ice and he had turned back, severely injured. I grabbed his arm and dragged him out and pushed him in the direction of where I sent the others. He nodded and tried to run as fast as he could.

With that over, I turned to the other two. The guy in red armor similar to X's own, had killed the first of the two watchers. The chaos was over.

Grian had came out again and yelled. "We need to burn these bodies. They are watchers. Even in death will they still continue to watch us." He was about to say something else when he saw the sword in Evil X's hands. Grian shook his head. "As long as it's not going to be used on us." EX shook his head. "Xisuma can use it." He turned the sword around and handed Xisuma the hilt. "I don't want responsibility."

The admin looked at me. "Where's Wels?" I just pointed. "I sent him to the girls." He nodded and grabbed Joe from his hiding place by the door of the castle and headed inside to find him.

I had just protected these people. Did I actually like it?
