I had no clue where we were going

Or how I was supposed to land us somewhere safely. But what I was really thinking about was hermitcraft 

I know other worlds exist but actually what!?! Hermitcraft!, THE Hermitcraft!? I think to myself.

There's actually no way. Ultima comments

At school whenever I finished with classwork I would watch videos and play games on the school computers or my phone, secretly of course.(Go Gaurdian Ain't got nothing on me!!!)

Before I can think deeper into this the speakers sound.

ATTENTION ALL MAGIC USERS, REPORT TO THE ENGINE ROOM IMMEDIATELY.

Ok  So it's not just us who are 'helping'<Eagle> says 

Honestly I wasn't paying attention to where I was going and just notices we went down some elevator when it made this horrible screeching sound. How old is this place?. That doesn't matter as I was suddenly yanked to stand infront of some tube looking for me to stand in.

A scientist guy walks in with the full on labcoat, clipboard, and glasses sttaight from a TV show yelling at other scientists behind him. "We are going to need ALL our magic users gathered here and put them each into the tube 1 at a time" he yells

"What is this ment to do boss?" Thing 2 asks

"It will extract all the magic from a magic user and put it in our ships power system so we can brute force our way into hermitcraft and all it protection." He says simply like it's nothing 

"This will be the first time we use this thing for more than small amounts of magic but it'll hold." The scientists butt's in.

"Like that's totally reassuring, not sketchy at all."<Eagle> Points out sarcastically 

Umm not sure I wanna go in there doesn't sound pleasant, Not to mention they don't care about my health and safety. I say with uncertainty 

Whatever the scientist and others say after this goes completely over my head, all I know is this is NOT in any way safe or even ethical. 

I glance behind me as the door opens with  some gaurds in that same swat armour pushing... more prisoners? Or workers, I'm not sure. They all range from looking human to obvious hybrids. From men to women. From adults to... children. And they all seem just as confused and scared as I feel.

Wait a second, there are more prisoners!? How come we've never seen them!? Ultima points out

Were special I guess but not important! It looks like they have a test dummy I say just as some guards shove me aside and throw someone else in the machine and close the door.

"We would put you in sweetheart but we would prefer to test if you'll even live" The boss says looking at me.

The person inside the tube looks to be extra scared when the boss says this. They or I assume, he, starts to panick, despretly punching the clear machine door to get out. The scientists pay him no mind and simply continue tapping away at the screen. Untill the man all of a sudden shoots fire from his hands and the scientis quickly pull a lever to stop him.

The machine whirls to live and the man let's out a blood curdling scream as some red looking mist gets pulled out of him. 

The machine pulls out every bit of magic within him quickly... and then... he drops dead.

Oh hell  naw, there's no way we go in there!?<Ultima> Exclaims 

Behind us a bunch I prisoner scream in horror and some even attempt to run. However they get straight up tased and cuffed in place.

The scientists open the door and one of them pokes the now dead man with a pen "Deaceased" he declares like it's nothing.

"Remove him, NEXT!" The head scientist declares writing down some notes

One worker bravely stands forward "I'll hand by self in for the watchers" he says

"Good man" the boss says bowing his head in respect

"Since your being agreeable we should be able to peacfully make adjustments" The head scientist says 

The worker steps in and the scientist whisper to eachother clicking away at different screens. Overall just doing some sciency things that go over my head and I hope I never get the 'honor' of learning, seems like to much work honestly.

Finally they give a thumbs up to the worker and pull the lever. He also seems to scream in pain as some green mist stuff is taken from him slowly.

When the machine stops he falls down like deadweight but the scientist declares he just passed out.

The boss looks straight at me expectantly "Your suppose to have a lot of magic so, GO!" He says pointing at the machine 

I let out a whine, a pity full sound as i dont wanna go in. And i dont realize it but my avian attributes also come out and my feathers puff out defensivly. Which gets the boss mad.

"Go in you dumb animal!!" He yells yanking my collar as a threat.

"There's nothing we can do but listen"<Eagle> states calmly. But I can feel their fear through our connection.

I walk in albeiet a bit tentatively and the machine lights up. I see them typing some things into a screen

And then We Scream.

Tears sting at my eyes, my body burns, and it feels as in the machine is tearing us apart. As if our magic was being ripped right off my skin. I can feel Ultima howl and Eagle screech in pain along side me. My throat feels raw as we continue screaming.

I have 2 types of magic from being a mixed hybrid and along with the fact I'm 'pure' a lot of it.

I can't move as this thing takes my magic, frozen in pain. There's nothing I can do and I HATE it. This is just as bad if not definitely worse then being electrocuted to my bones by the collar.

And when in finally shuts off having taking all the magic it could I collapsed. I try in a futile attempt to stand but I can't, just scratching at the floor infront of me. I know they are yelling at me to get up as im awake. But it all sound so far away and I can't even see them as black dances across my vision. 

I get thrown out of the machine by some guard. 

I can't hear ultima or jasmine. But I can still feel them

They must have passed out. It is their magic to be fair.

I try to sit up

But I can't 

And then I pass out.

I don't get to see the way the captain blasts straight through the hermitcrafts protective barriers. Nor do I feel how I'm thrown straight back to my cell.

It doesnt matter... all i know is... I need freaking day off!

Authors note: Next chapter I plan on doing this from either xisuma or grians Pov.

And also I've decided I'll post chapter on Sundays and Thursdays probably at like 7 to 9 pm at my time.(I live in New York, dunno what time it is for other places) DONT HOLD ME TO THAT. 

... I'll go now, thanks for reading (^-^)/
