Recovery- a scarian story

4 - The incident

{Bdubs pov}

I was waiting at the town hall for our dearest mayor Scar. He was late! I didn't want to postpone our prank by one minute! Scar had other things to do. He always takes his time.

However, I can't blame him. My friend has been very stressed nowadays. Keralis was going around making sure everything was set up perfectly. I wished he come back sooner, cause I was bored of talking with Tango and False.

While Tango and False gossip about hermits, I notice Scar walk in, humming a soft melody. "Hey, Scar!" I wave at him, hoping he's ready for our next big mission. He waves back with his free hand, while the other one holds Jellie, his cat.

This is how it's going to go. Keralis will get all of the mycelium members to an area with a big flat land. As soon as they get there, False will spawn a wither. It would freak out the members, and give us a clear way to negotiate their end.

One last thing I forgot to mention. Grian is Mother Spore, so it's only fair we scare him most, as he'll probably be the one to make the decision. We will trick him into getting on a Redstone ship, by using some sort of bait. It will fly Grian to the scene, and drop him closest to the wither. But, there are a couple of things we need to do to make sure it goes well.

One, the wither can do a lot of damage. We'll kill the wither after we let them panic for a bit. Two, we want them to be scared. nobody's scared of a wither still in its spawning process. We've told False about it, but she continues to say that It would be scarier if they saw it at the end of its spawning process, just forming in front of them.

If False doesn't go along with our plan, we'll have problems. We'll have even more problems if Scar misses the block. Scar's supposed to break a Redstone block that will cause Grian to fall. He's practiced, though.

We watched as Grian and xB finished their breakfast. Grian had waffles while xB ate cereal. I held in a giggle as xB turned to Grian and said "Isn't that cannibalism?" Referencing Grian's waffle haircut. Grian turned to him and laughed. He whispered something I couldn't hear, then they both laughed. Probably was some sort of inside joke.

We waited until G was all alone, which happened to be at the perfect time. I watched as he perched on top of the redstone contraption. I pressed a button and it started moving. I sent a signal to the group, and it seemed like everything was working well.

TIME SKIP

It had all been set up. All the mycelium members were there, including the parrot on the ship. Keralis spun in a circle, signaling Scar and False to do their job. Scar came up and broke the Redstone on Grian's ship. False should of spawned it then, but she waited... and waited...

When she finally spawned it, she thought her little trick did us well. They were running and screaming. Then she realized her big mistake.

Grian was trapped inside of the wither's body. Because the wither had not been summoned fully, Grian went into the wither right before it hardened. False and I was worried.

I was just riding a plane when I heard something break behind me. Suddenly I was falling midair. I heard terrifying noises beneath me. I hit something hard, and after looking around, it seemed like I was in a cage. But, this cage was different. It was a Ribcage. A wither's ribcage.

Suddenly all I heard was screaming. I recognized the voices of the other hermits. I also heard someone else. It sounded like they were speaking in... galactic? It couldn't be a watcher, could it? I droned out the voices and tried to move around.

Suddenly, I was pulled back. I felt severe pain on my wings. They had been intertwined with the wither's bones. My wings crushed as the wither spun around. I started to cry.

I moved my head so I could see who was there.

The first person I noticed was Etho. He continued to try and hit the wither with a sword, but every time the wither just flew higher.

Impulse was standing by him. He was throwing bows to people left and right, and trying to shoot the wither. He seemed determined to help me.

On my opposite side, I saw False. She looked more stressed than I had ever seen her before. She was using one of Impulse's bows. She chose the crossbow.

I tried to look for more people, but I was thrown around like a ragdoll inside of the wither. I hit my head, and It started to bleed. My leg got stuck between the wither's abrasive bones. I felt that I was losing blood quickly. It mainly came from my wings and my head, but my leg started to bleed too.

I heard Scar's yelling over the other voices. He seemed extremely concerned. Bdubs was there as well, but he wasn't screaming as loudly. Ren used many different attack methods and tried to motivate the team to keep going. He was talking pretty loud too.

Stress towered up and tried to use the high ground against the wither. xB was trying to get hermits who weren't in the area to come fight.

I saw a few other people, but my vision got a bit blurry and I couldn't recognize them. I had gotten a few other cuts on my body. I heard someone place down tnt, but someone else put water over it. My hearing quality dropped, but they said something about not hurting me.

An arrow flew into my head because it went through the wither. I started to feel sick. I pulled the arrow out of my head, but I still felt the same. I heard a voice that I will always recognize. I'm not sure what he said, but I knew Mumbo was there as well.

I heard the wither getting weaker. I closed my eyes and prayed I would still be alive after this, as I felt the wither break apart, and I fell into someone's arms. Knowing the feeling from this morning, I figured out I was being held by Scar.

Scar, my number one enemy. Scar is the guy who probably put this in place. Scar is the person who probably has the worst intentions with me. Scar was holding me in his arms. Just like this morning, I couldn't escape.

"Is he ok!?" I heard Mumbo panic. My ears started to ring, so I couldn't listen in on the conversation. I tried to open my eyes to look at Scar and Mumbo, but I couldn't.
