Going to Hell in a Hand Basket (Dreamsmp And Hermitcraft)

Doc stood beside Her, queen of the creepers, waiting for the stranger to arrive. He'd asked Her to call for them and she had agreed. X was hidden close by, this was an ambush for them.

Sam stopped walking at the mouth of the cave seeing Doc next to this servers Her. He felt his hackles rise but she gently called to him so he stepped forward slowly. He warbles to Her, calling out for help because he was afraid of Doc, because he was lost and alone, because of the last time he'd meet Her.

She raised one massive paw and placed it against him. Calm washed over him, drowning the fear for a moment, then he heard a footstep behind him.

He whips around, ignoring the Queen's warble, fur raising again. A human, the admin by his scent. 'Not again.' His subconscious supplies him with the images and his conscious does the rest.

A hiss rips its way out of Sam, eyes locking on the sword. He has to escape but he also must protect. The egg or the queen, he'll have to choose. Claws slide out of their covers, making marks on the ground. Doc's here too, he'll have to help this is his queen too.

'His already chosen his admin once.' Sam turns on him at the thought raking his claws across the other hybrid's chest, while pulling out his trident to throw at the human. She tries to calm him, explain, but she doesn't understand.

"X!" Doc calls as the admin stumbles back from the impact.

"I'm alright! I thought you said she could calm him."

They were using the queen against him. She was against him. 'Of course, you have another's egg.' He looks back at Her before stepping away. "I'm not against you." Her voice is in his head even though her mouth doesn't move.

Sam regrets his next actions as soon as he does them, swiping at the Queen, killing the admin, then running from Doc. The other hybrid was going to kill him for attacking the Queen, even though he didn't hurt Her.

He ran as fast as he could, seeing other people flying above him. They were all heading towards Her lair. The admin appears before him, seemingly they were running back for their stuff, magic flashed over their hand and at him as they ran past.

The magic cut into one of his legs, wrapping the leg in chains to keep it close to his body. Sam fell hitting the ground hard, he saw the admin look back, nodding to themselves.

"Come to me." The Queen called to him but for the first time he fought the urge to go. He wouldn't be stupid enough to fall for her trap again.

Sam got his three usable legs under himself, checks the egg, then limps as fast as he can away.

X slides down the cave wall back into the Queen's lair. Doc was almost frothing at the mouth from see Her be attacked. She was in the process of calming him.

False and Grian were the first ones down in the cave, real wings folding as they landed.

"Find the Stranger. I entangled one of their legs so it should be easy to capture them." X says as a few others show up, False nods, Grian does a mock salute and then they both shoot out the cave. "Cub, Bdubs get some kind of contaminate made, Mumbo you too. Joe find its code. Etho, if Grian and False can't find them you start looking. Kill it if you have to I don't care!"
