Chapter 42: Tango

*appears*

ONLY THREE MORE CHAPTERS AFTER THIS!

*vanishes*

There's a moment after Jimmy knocks Skizz unconscious where neither of us do anything. I stare up at him, then back down, watching the black endermanification disappear from his arms. 

'Oh my goodness.' Jimmy speaks first, dropping the frying pan. 'Oh... my goodness. What just happened?' 

'Skizz... was upset. About Impulse.'

'Yeah...' He stares down at Skizz again, then over to Scott. 'Will he be ok?'

'We should get him onto his bed, and cover the injuries. Do you know if there's any healing potions in your dorm?'

'Yeah, some in the bathroom cupboard. Scott... doesn't trust that I'll stay safe without it.' 

'Great...' I realise then that Scott's in front of the bathroom door, making it harder to get in. I manage, due to the fact it opens inwards, and my ability to jump past. Open the cupboard, snatch up a couple of potions, and back out. Jimmy's grabbed some bandages, handing them over as I dab healing potions on them, and tie them around Scott's neck. They stain with blood, but not too much, and Scott's still alive, breathing normal. 

'Can you help me carry him over into his room?' I look over to Jimmy, who runs over, and we carry Scott across the room, into their bedroom, and lay him on the bed, ensuring he's on his side before doing the same with Skizz, only he's been brought into Cub and Jevin's room, and put on whichever bed - probably Cub's - is closest. 

Me and Jimmy look at each other again.

'You're still bleeding.' He comments. 'Not much but...' He gives me another bandage and I douse it with healing potion, holding it to my face until I'm convinced it's healed enough. 

'Are we still going to have that meeting? Of the MISFITS?' I ask, changing the subject. 

'Other people will still be coming...'

'What about Scott? And Skizz?'

'I can lead the meeting...' Jimmy offers. 'And if either of them wakes, they can join in.'

'Even Skizz?' 

No reply. 

'Do you want dinner? I can't really cook, but... there are sandwiches?'

'Yeah, that sounds good.' 

We return to the kitchen, where we begin to make sandwiches, accompanied by a silence that grows awkwarder as we go. We eat, just as someone knocks on the door. 

'Hey, is it time for the meeting yet?' Philza pokes his head in, and I wave at him.

'Yeah, we can have it now.' I glance at Joe.

'Where's... Scott?'

'It's complicated.' As he enters, Skeppy's eyes flick towards the bathroom door, still splattered with blood. Tubbo, Ranboo, and Jack also appear just behind, entering. 

'This place seems like a f***ing mess...' Tubbo begins. 'No offence.' (Just a quick note that I know nothing about Tubbo except bees and swearing) 

'Is everything alright?'

'We sorted it out.' Me and Jimmy glance at each other again. The frying pay Jimmy used to knock out Skizz still lies on the floor. 

'Watch out for Skizz as you go up. He's... unconscious.' I continue. 

'Somehow.' Jimmy adds. Both of us are staring at the frying pan.

The group look between each other, but continue on. I follow after, watching as they all clamber up into the secret room. Jimmy's next, having to be pulled up, before I join. 

'So... can you explain any of what happened.' 

'Skizz got mad at Scott for threatening Impulse and attacked him.' I say. 

'He tried to choke Scott. It was really scary.' 

'Is he ok?'

'Alive, but bleeding a bit. 

'And you're hurt too. You really look like you've been through s***.' Tubbo adds. 'Are you sure you're ok?'

'I'm fine.' I lie. My face still hurts, almost itching, but at least it isn't bleeding. 

'I...' Philza begins. 'I have healing magic. Do you want me to help you?'

'What?! Since when?'

'I didn't want to mention it, because I didn't really trust everyone... I tried to heal Grian before.' 

'So... you can help me? And Scott?' Philza nods, crossing the area towards me. He closes his eyes, pinkish purple light glowing from his hands. And then suddenly my face doesn't hurt.

'I can't do too much at once, but it won't start bleeding again... Where's Scott?' 

'In the other room.' Jimmy replies before I can. 'Come on.' I jump down after them, opening the door where Mumbo, Joel, Lizzie, a newcomer Gem, BigB, Bdubs, and Badboyhalo are waiting. 

'We're still meeting, right?' 

'Yeah, come in.' I let the group enter, closing the door behind. Before I can do anything else, there's a confused noise from Cub and Jevin's room which I realize a moment later is Skizz. 

'Where- Tango?'

'What happened?' Joel is first to ask.

'A... lot. Get Jimmy to explain it.' I wish I could say more, but my wanting to talk to Skizz is more important, and I slip into the room.

'Tango, what happened?' Skizz instantly notices me. 'Why am I... here.' 

'You... tried to kill Scott. You got upset and...' 

'Impulse. I... I need to talk to him.' 

'He... he'll want to be alone. And I want to talk to you. About what happened.'

'Where?' 

'Somewhere... beyond the meeting. In the rest of that between-floors area.' I decide, climbing back up. General conversation is still coming from the gathered MISFITS. I ignore, helping Skizz up before we start walking. 

'So... what do you wanna talk about, buddy?' 

'What was that? When you went all endermanny?'

'Complicated.'

'Skizz, I want to know.' 

'Some... part of me being half-enderman. I usually hide it but I... couldn't.' 

'You tried to kill Scott...' we continue walking. 'In cold blood.'

'He hurt Impulse! He made him... he made him all paranoid and upset again.' Skizz's voice rises, and I put a hand on his shoulder in an attempt to calm him. 'Impulse doesn't deserve any of this. He didn't want to be part of it, and people are still blaming him for everything when it wasn't even his fault to start with!' 

'I agree, but... you went too far.'

'I know.' There's a wall ahead of us, and I think it's the outside wall of the school when I realize it's made from the wrong block. 

'What... is this?' I run over, and Skizz joins me.

'Bedrock.' He looks at me. I frown, as a sudden nothingness fills where my limited magic should be. 

Bedrock stops magical powers. 

Why is it here? Why is it here? Why is it here? 

'Skizz.' I realize a moment later. 'This... this is where our friends are!'

Bad chapter, but major plot twist!
