Xisuma ran through the nether and is right behind Npg who is extremely fast and it's surprising for a robot. He wasn't out of breath yet but the running is definitely going to wear Xisuma out. He can feel the heat of the nether through his armor, it's very annoyingly hot.  He huffs a bit and starts running faster.

Xisuma soon sees the nether portal to go to the overworld. He hops into the portal, the feeling of going through the portal is somewhat sickish. He stumbles out of the portal as most hermits do. He looks around Mumbo's base to see a scary sight, Iskall has a sword pointed at Xavi and Grian is passed out on the ground with what looks like a burnt sweater, he can't imagine the damage that could be there. There's also Furby who is right next Xavi and the dog is growling.

"Iskall what are you doing!?" Xisuma called out as he took out his own sword. Npg is cowering behind Xisuma.

"What am I doing? I'm protecting Grian! This.. This monster struck Grian with lighting!"  Iskall yelled, They are clearly distressed about their friend and everything. 

"Iskall put down the sword, I'll explain everything." Xisuma spoke with a calm voice while slowly moving closer, he puts his sword way in hopes of calming down Iskall, Xavi and Furby. 

"I- What!? Xisuma you better not be pulling my leg right now. You said Evil X is dangerous! Look at him! He hurt Grian for peek sake, how could you trusts someone that just hurt our friend!" Iskall didn't mean to misgender Xavi, Iskall wouldn't imagine purposely ever doing that as they also are nonbinary.

"They." Said Xavi.

'What?" Said Iskall while looking at Xavi

"I go by they them and my name is Xavi." Xavi is glaring at Iskall through their mask. Iskall freezes as they realize their mistake. 

"I.. I didn't know. I wasn't told.." Iskall takes a step back while putting their sword away.

"Suma.. Why didn't you tell them anything.." Xavi felt hurt knowing that Xisuma could have at lest told everyone their name and gender identity. 

"I-... I just didn't have time to say anything" Xisuma really didn't but he also shouldn't have been putting that off. 

"Xisuma! You can't just leave something like that for later!" Yelled Iskall. Xisuma freezes at how angry Iskall sounds. 

"Iskall listen, you need to calm down. I know you are upset about it but I just haven't had the time.." Xisuma is talking very quickly and very nervously.

"Xisuma we should have a talk about this later, like really a full on talk and not a chit chat." Iskall's voice is sharp. "But we really should take care of Grian if they aren't a threat anymore.."  

"Yeah, we can have a talk.." Xisuma heads over to Grian while he spoke. The admin feels sickish once he realizes how badly burnt Grian's sweater and elytra are, even Grian's skin is a bit burnt. Xisuma quickly gets an regeneration potion out, he gently presses the potion against Grian's lips, it almost immediately starts healing the burn which does make Xisuma relax at the fact it isn't taking so long to heal him.

"Xisuma how is he.." Iskall said while taking a seat next to Grian.

"I believe he should be fine, he just needs rest for some time" Said Xisuma while looking at the burn on Grian. He hears Xavi walk over and sits down next to him.

"Xisuma.. This is my fault, what will others do once they find out.." Xavi has tears in their eyes but they refuse to cry out in the open.

The three hear someone crash behind them. Xisuma and Iskall pull out their weapons and turn ready to attack but they immediately put their weapons down once they see it's Mumbo who crashed into a wall and looks very dazed.

"Mumbo! Oh man, are you alright!?" Iskall yelled while running over to one of their best friend's.

"Ummm. I could be better" Mumbo let out a weak chuckle while looking up at the pillar that he just crashed into.

"You need to be more careful!" Iskall said while looking at a few scrapes on Mumbo's face. Iskall grabs a healing potion from their inventory. "How does your head feel?"

"It hurts a bit. I'm also a bit dizzy" Mumbo admitted while rubbing his head while feeling rather dizzy. 

"You might have a concussion. Just sit here for now, okay?" Iskall said while helping mumbo sit up against the pillar. "What on earth were you doing?" 

"I.. Geeze my head really hurts." Mumbo groans and rubs his head.

"Actually you know.. Lets wait for you to start feeling better first. "Said Iskall, they look at Mumbo worriedly. The glance over at Xisuma and Grian while Xavi is standing away from both of the small groups, they feel rather guilty for accidentally striking Grian with lighting. 

Mumbo's eye's land on Grian. "What happened!?" The Redstoner immediately tries to stand but he gets light headed and collapses, Iskall catches him before he head hits his the ground.  

"Mumbo chill, he got struck by lighting but he should be okay soon. X is taking care of him so there's no need to worry." Iskall gave a weak smile to try and comfort their friend. 

"What! He was struck by lighting!?" Mumbo tried to stand again but Iskall held him in place.

"Dude you aren't doing well.." Iskall gently made Mumbo sit back down. "Please sit for now, you can check on him in a moment.

"I... Okay fine I'll stay here but if things get worse for him let me know." Mumbo is panicked but knows there's no way Iskall will let him just walk over when he's like this.

"of course" Iskall gave a weak smile towards Mumbo and they went over to Grian and Xisuma. Mumbo watched Iskall for awhile, his eye's are feeling kinda heavy. Making it hard to focus. His vision fades in and out until it completely goes black.

Hehe that was a fun end point.
Anyways sunshine out!
