Hermitcraft and Empires Oneshots

Kidnapped pt. 2 (continuation)

This is the part two for my continuation of Itz_Larissa's one shot kidnapped, so check out both her one shot and the part one for this before reading. Also there is permadeath, but certain hermits do have special powers. Like Cleo having already fixed and therefore being basically immortal.

Etho P.O.V.

Me and Impulse were each sat on one of the cots, staring at the opposite wall while figuring out what to do. "I can't believe Scar did this," Impulse finally broke the silence, unable to stand it any longer.

"It wasn't Scar," I whispered under my breath, just loud enough for Impulse to hear. He looked at me in confusion, waiting for me to elaborate. I took a moment to gather my thoughts.

" Honestly, I've been thinking on this for a while. Ever since Scar became such an extremist mayor, with the road taxes and then with how serious he's been taking the war. Today just confirmed it when I saw Bdubs' eyes. "

Impulse looked puzzled, trying to sort out how Bdubs having blue eyes could be associated with Scar's behavior. "It's the vex, Impulse. The vex are back. One must be influencing Scar like with the ConVex in season six, and he must be using them to control the other members of HEP."

Impulse looked shocked at the revelation, and the cell fell back into silence as Impulse killed over the new information he had been given. It made sense, Scar hadn't been acting normal lately.

Jevin's P.O.V.

"What are we going to do, Jevin?" Xb exclaimed for the thousandth time in the past hour since they had been in the cell together. It was getting annoying but I understood, everybody dealt with stress in their own ways, and this was Xb's way.

I couldn't deal with stress the way I usually did here, so I did my next choice for when I'm stressed and sat there silently, trying to shut down and crown out my thoughts before they go worse.

It did have the unfortunate side effect of me ignoring Xb, especially since to do that I played memories back in my mind. Most of them were of Wels' sword fights I had watched when we were kids.

I closed my eyes and drowned myself into those memories, using my personal brand of magic to create a mental shield around them that trapped my consciousness inside those memories. It meant none of my thoughts got in, but also nothing from the outside world for in.

Doc P.O.V.

I looked at the slowly sinking batter on my robotic side. I had forgotten to charge it while working over the past few days and now I was worried it was going to die. I'd rather not think of what would happen if that occurred.

Ren just have noticed me looking at the battery tracker worriedly, because suddenly he spoke up. "Is something wrong, my dude?" he asked.
I nodded, showing him how low my battery was.

"Shoot dude, we need to get you to a charging station," his face fell for a moment. "Which means we would either have to break out or convince Scar to take you to one. Neither of which are likely scenarios."

Our gazes met, both equally distressed at the situation. Since literally half of my body is made up of the robotic parts, including half of my heart, if it dies I die.

Stress P.O.V.

After formulating different ideas for a while, I decided that the best course of action for the moment would be to contact all of the neutral people and the podzol party.

You whisper to Beef: Come to my base now, the skull, it's urgent. Etho is in trouble.

You whisper to Hypno: Come to my base now, the skull, it's urgent. Xb is in trouble.
