Enjoy!
Xanthus ducked under the blast of lilac magic that flew at his head. He whipped around only to be thrown across the endstone clearing, crashing into a chorus tree that immediately broke and rained its fruit down on him. Thinking quick, Xay grabbed one and shoved it in his mouth, teleporting him away from a second, incoming blast that flew into the space where he had just been.
He summoned a flame of magenta magic to his hand, then blasted it at the nearest Watcher, before diving out of the way of an arrow. Glancing at where the arrow had been fired, he saw the one-eyed Hermit nocking another arrow to fire at him, before locking eye contact and realizing who he was. He mouthed a quick 'Whoops, sorry!' and Xay shrugged it off before turning his attention back to the battle.
Out of nowhere, a body crashed into him, sending them both tumbling away. Xay opened his wings in a rush as he felt the endstone disappear under them, indicating that the two had rolled off the island. Xay hovered, then took a second to see who had pushed him off.
Etho.
Diving down, Xay grabbed the ninja before he could fall into the lethal Void.
"T-thanks," Etho stuttered, clinging to Xay for dear life.
"Of course," he replied briskly. "Look, that battle is madness. I have an idea. Go get Grian. Then we can all leave before someone dies." Etho nodded as they landed on the endstone. Etho bolted off towards the End City, unnoticed by the Watchers.
I hope this works.
POV Shift: Etho
Etho ducked into the End City. Thankfully, all the Watchers seemed to be busy fighting, and he already knew that there weren't many Watchers guarding the prisons. Etho walked quickly and quietly, unsure of how many Watchers were normally in the building.
The prisons were kept on a higher level of the towering End City. Which meant a lot of stairs and parkour for Etho.
Why do End Cities have parkour courses built in? Etho wondered as he jumped from slab to slab. Once he reached the end of it, he ran up a staircase to where the prisons were.
This is going smoothly so far...
Too smoothly.
As he approached the prisons, a figure came into view. The figure seemed oddly familiar, as if he had seen the person before. They weren't facing Etho, but from where Etho was standing, he could tell they were 'defective'. No wings and brown hair instead of pure black.
Wait.
No.
It's... not possible.
But he looks just like that...
As Etho came closer, realization dawned on him.
Beef?
"I thought you were dead!!" Etho screamed, staring at the figure in front of him.
"I'm not dead, love,"
It really is him.
HE'S ALIVE!
"I- I can't believe it!" Etho cried. Beef, however, didn't turn around.
"Oh, but you have to," Beef replied softly, his voice almost... dangerous.
What?
This isn't the Beef I remember.
This isn't the Beef I know...
And love.
"What happened?" Etho's voice was quiet. "Did they... did they do something to you?"
Beef's chuckle made Etho want to throw things. He turned around, slowly, and the realization almost made Etho scream.
A mask.
Over Beef's eyes.
"Why would they have done anything?"
*gasp*
BEEF'S ALIVE?!?!?!
Yes! You know I'm too soft to kill off anyone TwT
