Summary: When night falls and people are in danger, they call upon the watchers for help. The alters demand the obedience of the living. They survived once with the help of the last Ender Watcher, but can they survive their alter's attempt to destroy their world?
~***~
In season three, it all started with Evil Xisuma. He demanded obedience. He killed for it.
But each time...
It was denied.
By the time season five came to it's end, two more alters came, demanding the same obedience.
~***~
I remember the exact day when I was called. The Hermitcrafters needed a protector. And they summoned for me. From there my life changed completely...
Grian sat on the edge of his bed staring at the ender chest in the corner, he flipped the dagger in his hand while he waited for the chest to shine. He suddenly felt a disturbance and snapped his head up.
The dormant ender chest opened and an ender pearl came through. He shot up, grabbed the pearl and opened a portal to the Hermitcraft world.
The snow crunched beneath his feet when he landed. The first thing he noticed was the hoards encasing the hermits.
"I REALLY HOPE YOU HAVE A PLAN."
Grian shot an arrow into the night sky that caused a dash of pure sunlight to shine upon the world, forcing the zombies back underground.
The hermits looked at the winged man, "He's my plan."
"Which one of you is Xisumavoid?" Grian says as he crosses his arms, "Your Ender Watcher is here."

~ Season Eight ~
Grian stayed with the hermits when he first helped them. Some of the hermits were skeptical at first, but accepted him fully in the middle of season six. Grian agreed to protect their world, the hermits agreed to protect him.
The Watcher was always on alert, just waiting for the next attack. Grian sat on the roof of his starter base staring at the sunset, enjoying it while it lasts. But 'lasts' never happened. BDubs never slept.
Grian opened his chats the moment the sky turned a pitch black, not a single star in the sky.
BDubs was slain by Evil Xisuma
<Xisuma> Okay, nobody panic...
Welsknight was slain by RG
Goodtimewithscar was slain by NPG
Renthedog was slain by Helsknight
<Xisuma> Panic now.
<Grian> Boatem to the hole. Everyone else meet Xisuma at the egg.
He glided down to the hole where the rest of the Boatem community had just arrived. Impulse and Mumbo looked uneasy, "What do we do?! Scar's gone and this NPG thing is somewhere in the community-"
"NPG isn't necessarily a threat." Grian states as he landed gracefully with a single flap of his wings, "He's just obsessed with rustic houses because I programmed him wrong. It's RG we need to be worried about. Robotic Grian is smarter, faster, stronger, and will do anything for obedience."
"That sounds just like Evil Xisuma."
"But why-"
"My best guess on why they're all here is that they want to bring the server to their knees." Grian looked to Scar's base, "And they want revenge for me banishing them to the deepest depths of the Earth."
At that moment, hoards of Zombies appeared, dozens of the undead walked out from the corners of the bases. In the back stood Grian's two alters stood arms crossed. Grian sent an open fire between the hoard and the Boatem community. The group watched as the zombies stepped away.
"We need to go." Grian motioned the group to the skies, "It doesn't look like the skeletons are out, follow me!"
Grian could faintly see the red of the two's eyes as he flew away.
"Hey G! We got an issue!" Pearl shouted against the wind.
"What?"
"We've lost more people, Joe, Cleo, Stress, Cub, False, and three others."
"We lost Tango..." Impulse stated softly, "WHAT DO WE DO NOW?!"
"Gather the others and help them out." Grian noticed the area that they landed in, had the hermits that had fallen, "Those aren't the normal undead! Those are corrupted codes. Don't get killed!" He looked around for the other hermits, most were in the egg still, blocking the door, "Get to the others. I don't see Xisuma's tag."
Grian took to the skies once more, he protected the hermits with his purple ring of fire keeping the zombies at the edge. He searched for Xisuma, from the sky, then found him in the middle fighting, and failing, Evil X. Grian dived down and grabbed Xisuma by his shoulders, pulling him into the air.
"ARE YOU INSANE?!"
"It's Evil X, Grian!" Xisuma shouts, "You can't just take me away from the fight!"
"I just did. You summoned me to help protect you and your server. And right now you're hurt so there's no point in you fighting right now!"
"GRIAN-"
"XISUMA JUST SHUT UP!" He put himself and Xisuma on top of the egg safely, "TRUST YOUR WATCHER."
