¿Freaked?

-1-

Hey! This was based off of EmberDragon34's old unfinished story, so with permission, made a fanfic out of it. Note somethings: Some things may be incorrect, and this is set in somewhat season 9, based off of this https://www.google.com/urlsa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.reddit.com%2Fr%2FHermitCraft%2Fcomments%2Fulx9q9%2Fa_very_rough_season_9_map_now_that_hermits_are%2F&psig=AOvVaw1MYT3i2Im6zldgIQFH0Edz&ust=1734885810293000&source=images&cd=vfe&opi=89978449&ved=0CBEQjRxqFwoTCJDRpLWnuYoDFQAAAAAdAAAAABAo . Also, communicators (Comms/Comm) are like armlets, basically a phone in a giant silver bracelet, and with the smithing template updates, you can decorate your comm.

Also, REWROTE THIS, AGAIN, BECAUSE A BUNCH OF PEOPLE GOT CONFUSED, SO I REWROTE THE END!

Its also on A03!

Slowley but surely, everythings getting put together...

Now enjoy!

Scar PoV

I smile at the half-completed Scarland project in front of me. Another 6 hours of work well spent. I consider the even larger project of clearing up my shulker boxes for a minute. As I stared at the intricate details of copper on my comm, a helpful distraction appears as my comm started buzzing on my wrist. I opened it and saw that Tango whispered to me

Chat;

TangoTek whispered to you; Decked Out, now, Cub needs help!!!!

I freeze, unable to stop the worst possibilities running through my mind. What happened!? Is he ok? Did he get stuck?  I grab fireworks, taking to the air, going past Grian and Mumbo's bases, towards the enormous building of Decked Out, just barely making it through the entrance, landing right in front of Tango.

'What happened!?' I asked frantically. Is he lost? Did he forget what to do? Even so, thats very unlike Cub...

'I don't know. He went in hours ago... he said he was trying level 4... but it's been too long, so I messaged him to see if everything was ok and...' Tango shows me the comm on his wrist, the yellow gold gleaming into my eyes. 

Chat:

 You whispered to cubfan135: hey Cub, is everything ok? You've been there for ages- 

cubfan135 whispered to you: please. get me out 

'I... I thought you'd be the best person to ask. I don't know where on level 4 he's on... I tried to spectate but I couldn't see him anywhere.' I glance at the necklace connecting me to Cub's necklace. I got it from a wandering trader a while ago as a birthday present for Cub. I choose a grey-blue color which matches his Vex wings. I look at the necklace. It's glowing somewhat. He's close, but not too close. 'Level 4. What's... the theme of that level?' 

'That's the second warden one. With the...' He trails off. 

'Skulk.' I finish for him, and thats when I realize too slowly. 'Come on, we need to help him!' I yell as I run for the entrance as Tango grabs my hand. 

 'We can't go that way! The dungeon's on full clank... the vexes will get us in seconds. Come on, we can get in through the redstone.' He opens a little side-door that leads down into the redstone. He jumps down, me following suit. When we land, the first thing I see this the redstone contraptions stretching on in a colorful tangle for hundreds of blocks. When we start walking, I can see my necklace start to glow brighter. We must be getting closer. After a while, Tango stops to point down, showing that we made it to what must be the skulky roof of Level 4. 

'He's definitely down here... Cub!?' I try to call through the ground.

'Here.' Tango crouched down behind me, breaking through the ground and into Decked Out. 'Follow me.'
