"Whoa- That's..."

"I did warn you," Grian muttered, shrinking back against the wall.

"And you don't know where they took her," Xisuma confirmed, Grian and Netty nodding in response.

"If we knew we'd be there," Netty said, her tone mildly condescending.

"Netty," Grian said warning, his voice dropping into a hushed tone.

"I do think I have a right to be slightly pissed," Netty retorted, keeping her voice low enough so Xisuma didnt hear her. "He just comes in, demanding to know what's happening when it doesn't concern him, and starts trying to get involved. Look, he's probably a nice guy, but... He shouldn't be getting into this." Grian sighed.

"Netty, you shouldn't have gotten into this - it's my mess. Just give him a break. Pearl's gone because I messed up, which is why I'm going without anyone from Evo or Hermitcraft. I can't let anyone else get hurt because of me."

"Stop cutting yourself off. Let them help." Grian gritted his teeth, recognising Jace's voice.

"It's dangerous, we don't even know where to go and we're screwed. Forgive me for wanting to keep my friends alive," Grian cut back, part of him wanting to shout and the other part equally wanting to curl up into a ball and block out reality.

"You have a better chance of saving her with them than without," Jace pointed out to Grian's frustration.

"But at what cost?" he retorted. "Can you guarentee they'd come back safely - heck I've been trying to keep Hermitcraft out of this, so I'm not exactly going to bring Xisuma right into the crossfire of this. I mean Evo's already involved in this, but I'm not going to bring Netty into it exactly. And as I mentioned before, we have no idea where they're keeping her and even if we did we'd be utterly outnumbered and outgunned."

"Okay first Grian, Pearl's as much my friend as she is yours and I'd be 100% willing to go on a rescue mission," Netty intercut, Xisuma standing back, slightly confused.

"Look, I don't exactly understand everything that's going on, but I do want to help," Xisuma answered, his voice blending with Netty's.

"Actually, we do know where they're keeping her. We hacked into the Watcher we caught's personal IP and have tracked it to a specific server. Hidden between the dimensions but still accessible if you know how," Syra interrupted.

"That sounds a lot like a trap," Netty informed them, stating what they were all doing.

"I'm going," Grian almost instantly responded, earning a couple of skeptical glances. 

"That's not a smart idea-" Xisuma tried to reason, Grian cutting him off.

"I don't care. If it's the only chance we have then I'm doing it, I don't know about you guys, but I am." The two listeners glanced at each other for a second before nodding, Xisuma hesitating for a second before agreeing as well, a couple seconds after Netty.

"Give me a sec to transfer temporary admin power to Keralis," Xisuma told them, pulling up his communicator, sliding a through commands through the names. Jace quickly slid up a map and a few lines of code, most of which Grian understood.

"Alright," Grian said, zooming in on a certain section of the map he assumed to be the prison cells, highlighting 3 red sections. "Here's the plan.

This is short ik shut up- Believe it or not I do have a rough plan for how this is going to go so if it's short I don't care.
