A Glitch of Magic - a Hermitcraft (and third life?) Fanfiction

Chapter 16

You know there was a small plot in this book about Tango accidentally burning down Impulse's starter base?

Well, that's all been rendered useless by Impulse's latest video!

:'D

'We need to stop this.' 

Hypno's voice declared, standing up, hands on the table, facing the other hermits he'd gathered. Iskall and Mumbo exchanged a glance.

'How?' The former asked. 

'By defeating Herobrine!' Beef replied. 'And making the other hermits listen to us again!'

'Yeah, but how? Grian's still missing, and now the latest news is that Cub's joined them. Pearl's apparently been captured by Gem, Jevin's been keeping awfully quiet this whole time, and the rest of us that aren't on Scar's side are here.' Mumbo challenged.

'It's Herobrine that's doing this, not Scar.' False shot back. 'Scar's just being controlled by Herobrine.'

'Well, they look the same. And Scar summoned Herobrine in the first place, so it's still his fault.' 

'Guys, stop arguing. Are we going to sort this out of not.' xB interrupted 

'Exactly!' Stress agreed. 'We need to work together if we're gonna get this whole thingy sorted.'

'Right. Someone should message Grian. And does anyone here have connections outside the server? It would be useful to get outside help.' Hypno decided.

'I know Doc had connections with the Scicraft guys...' Mumbo suggested. 

'WELL DOC'S NOT HERE!' 

'Beef, calm down.' xB gently pulled the butcher back into his seat. 'I know you're upset about Doc, Keralis and Etho...'

'Keralis and Etho are cowards. I don't care about them.' Lied Beef. 

'Grian knows a lot of people. If we can get him free, then we'll be able to get lots of people from outside Hermitcraft.' Figured Wels. 

'Just sent G a private message!' 

'Nice work, Mumbo. Is there anything else we can do while we wait for a reply?' 

'Eavesdrop on Herobrine? We could get some good intel.' 

'I'm not spying on the evil geezers!' Stress interrupted, horrified at the idea. 'They're evil!'

'Yeah... I know... but it would be fun.' False tried to hide the excitement in her voice.

 'Wait! I've got a reply!' Mumbo distracted everyone by saying. 'Oh my goodness, Mumbo, the only person I've spoken to in ages is Cub, but now he's disappeared and I'm so happy you're still alive. What's been going on?' He's... alive then.' 

'Ask him where he is.' Iskall almost jumped out of his seat at the thought of his friend being ok, if very lonely.

'Uhh... in a hole under Scar's wagons, apparently. No, wait, in a trap, within a room underneath Scar's wagons.' 

'Let's go and get him free! Now!' 

'Wait... 'only Herobrine can get in or out I think' So...'

'Tell him to message some people outside Hermitcraft for us.' 

'On it!' 

'We should still send someone to find him. Mumbo, Iskall, you can do that. False and... xB, you two rescue Pearl. Stress, Beef, you two see if you can find TFC. He's the kind of person who's know about how to deal with Herobrine.'

'And Jevin? Will any of us find him?' 

'I'll convince him.' 

'Grian's just sent a message to Martyn.' Mumbo explained. 

'That's great.' Etho landed in the middle in the table. 'And now you can tell him that you've been busted.'

False shot to her feet, sword already out, and sliced at him. The ninja jumped easily out the way. Iskall stood up, trying to drag him down to the ground. Etho turned, sending a jet of what seemed to be ice at his face. Iskall ducked, but managed to unbalance Etho, sending him crashing into his back. He quickly got up again, dodged an arrow xB had sent towards him, and ran off the table, leaping off, turning and facing the group. 

'What is this stuff?!' Iskall inspected the ice closer. 'This isn't ice.'

'Vex magic.' Etho replied promptly. 

'Vex- what?!'

'Herobrine controls the vex. So he made all his allies Vexlings.' 

'Well that's not good!'

'Oh, nice work there, Mumbo. Really not stating the obvious...' 

False ran at Etho, vaulting over the table. She sliced him away, but he blocked, knocking her back. She kicked him in the gut, and he doubled over, giving her enough time to yell.

'Get out!' 

Mumbo was the first to leave, but made sure to place an end crystal first. Stress wasn't far behind. Iskall stayed, managing to pin his base-mate against the wall. 

'Join him, Iskall!' The ninja begged. 'Join Herobrine! Use the powers Gem gave you for good!'

'Powers? Iskall, you never said you went to Gem's base!'

'It wasn't important! Get out, and I'll keep him back.'

'He'll help you...' 

False watched on, ready if need be. The rest of the hermits were out of the room. 

'Iskall, let's go.' 

She grabbed the Swede's hand, pulling him away. She threw an egg at the ends crystal as they got to safety, panting, looking up at the rest of the group.

'Is everyone ok?' Hypno asked. There were nods in reply. 'Then let's continue our plan. Meet back here when we're done, ok?'

'What are we going to do about most of the server now being chaotic, cake-loving, word domination obsessed magic demon creatures?' Mumbo asked. 'I mean... two were already almost too much...'

'Set up a bakery and distract them.' Replied Beef drily. 

'Really?'

'No. We'll deal with them when we need to. For now, we all know what we're doing, right? Then let's go.' 

Etho charged out the now-destroyed meeting room, and after a hasty look back, Hypno increased his pace of instructing.

'Right. Meet back here as soon as we're done. Iskall, Mumbo, since you're right next to Herobrine's area, I'll come with you. Now, go!'

The group split up. Iskall jumped on the back of a horse he apparently owned, and Mumbo clambered onto his own. With a nod at each other, they set of to Boatem Village, ready to save their friend.

Didn't even manage to hit 1000 words with this chapter...

WHY IS THIS BOOK TURNING INTO THE SECOND 'MONSTERS'? *Flashes back to the book she wrote where nothing happened for around half of it*
