Swap!Doc:

" Wai.... Wait... Scar is coming? I thought we left him to Grian and the others!" False gasped as Ren and I nodded. 

 I rubbed my claw against my arm, " I saw him... He had the look of a madman, and I saw crystals forming up the staircase as Ren and I got out of the passageway." I explained quickly as I nervously looked at everyone. 

 The others had crossed their arms, " We can't keep running... I know I don't normally support fighting, but we are at the point where violence and trapping Scar may be our only option to keep everyone alive." Wels shook his head with a defeated look. Impulse patted his shoulder, " It was inevitable man...." he shook his head as he looked at me.

 " What do we need to do exactly?" Impulse questioned as I shrugged. 

 Everyone thought for a moment, " One or two of you could distract him." the other me scratched at his beard. 

 The other me was trying to sit up, but Wels made him lay himself back down, " Stay down my friend.... The poison still has effect over your body." he sighed as the other me laid down. We watched in silence as the other me quickly fell asleep and his eye stopped glowing. The other Ren had also fallen asleep once he realized that the other me was sleeping too. 

 I shook my head, " The other me has a good idea." the others refocused their attention to me. Everyone nodded, " Do we have enough to split up?" Ren questioned as I looked at the ground. 

 I nodded my head, " Ren and I can be a distraction, Impulse and False can trap Scar, and that leaves X and Wels to remain here to finish patching the counterparts and Cub up." I planned out as the others nodded. 

 X and Wels immediately went to work on patching Grian and Mumbo up. 

 The rest of us got armor, weapons, and potions ready for the fight that was quickly approaching.

Ren, Impulse, False, and I waited by the entrance to the base. 

 The nulling silence was the quiet before the storm. 

 I looked at the others. 

 Ren's ears were down as his tail twitched. 

 Impulse and False were both cleaning their swords in anticipation. 

 I was on lookout duty, and there was nothing to lookout for. 

 My tail twitched as I searched the skies. I heard a loud crack as I looked out towards the other base. 

 Towering, purple crystals came out of the ground as a figure came towards us. I froze in my place. 

 Scar. 

 I looked at the others and noticed the fear mirroring in each of their eyes. Impulse was the first to open up his mouth.

 " That's.... That's Scar all right..." he whispered as he bit his lip. 

 Scar was at a steady march towards our base. His clothes were dripping with water, crystals, and blood. 

 The four of us looked at each other, " Do you two have the potions and leads ready?" I quietly asked as False and Impulse nodded quietly. I looked at Ren next, " Do you have your armor, weapons, and elytra ready Ren?" I questioned him as he nodded with a fearful look. 

 I frowned at him, " You don't have to do this Ren..." I whispered as Ren looked at me with sad eyes.

" Yet I need to... I also made that promise to the other Mumbo and Grian. I also made a promise to myself that I would be by your side and help protect all the hermits of our world." he quietly spoke as I put a claw on his shoulder. 

 I was about to say something, but False and Impulse let out a collective gasp, " He's getting closer!" False looked back at us as I narrowed my eyes, " It's go time." I growled as Ren and I ran outside.

 Ren and I quickly approached Scar.

 " Scar!" I shouted as the crazed hermit stopped. 

 Scar blinked as if he was trying to register his own name. 

 I narrowed my eyes.

 " Scar!!" I shouted louder as Scar blinked again. 

 I swear I saw a pained look in his eyes, but he regained the insane look rather quickly. 

 This was a good thing to note though. Our Scar was still alive in that body and trapping him was a way we could figure out how to get him back. 

 Scar started to move forward at a quickened pace. He took his sword out as he got closer, " Hey... Doc?" Ren glanced at me, " Hmm?" I glanced back at him only to refocus on Scar. 

 Ren's ear twitched, " How close are we going to let the corrupted Convex get to us?" he questioned as I shrugged, " Just a few more steps..." I whispered as Ren straightened up. 

 Scar was continuing his advance and new details about his crazed state arose. 

 Scar was limping. This was a main fact. 

 His arm was dangling lifelessly by his side. That's another fact. 

 The final important fact was that he had crystals jutting out of his skin with blood dripping off of them. 

 Ren and I shuddered at him.

 " Now." I sharply took off into the sky as Ren followed.

 Scar simply looked up at us. He had a blank stare, but I could see the glint of madness in his eyes as a wide smile started to form as he took out a glowing bow and aimed it at us.
