------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Swap!Doc:

 Scar fired an arrow and it came flying directly towards my chest. I spun out of the way letting the arrow sail past me and go back down towards the ground. Scar ran forward so the arrow wouldn't hit him. 

 The two of us flew away from the D-Team base to keep Scar away from everyone, " Ren, on your right!" I shouted as Ren dodged the arrow that came towards him. 

 I looked down at Scar. 

 His eyes were still blank as he aimed another arrow, but it was glowing? 

 The arrow continued to glow as its probable effects became clear. 

 Slowness and harming. 

 Scar was going to shoot us straight out of the sky and kill us with a slow, painful death. 

 I looked at Ren as he gave me a panicked look, " GO HIGHER!" I shouted as Ren nodded. The two of us flew high in the air. 

 I haft expected Scar to fly after us, but he just stood on the ground in silence. The two of us kept flying in different directions, and I swore I saw Scar's eyes glow a bright purple as a wicked smile formed on his face. 

 The ground started to crack around him as magic leaked out, " Vex magic...?" Ren whispered as I shook my head, " No, Vex magic has a different way of forming.... " I answered him quickly as he nodded slowly. 

 The magic that poured from the ground formed into gigantic crystals that warped around us and were trying to trap us within the barrier. I tried to avoid a crystal that suddenly appeared in my flight path, but the crystal clipped the side of my elytra sending me into the purple wall on my side.

" DOC!" Ren shouted as I slid down the wall back onto solid ground. I groaned and looked up at Ren.

 " TRY AND GET OUT OF HERE! SEE IF YOU GUYS CAN DESTROY THE CRYSTALS FROM THE OUTSIDE!" I shouted at him as he nodded and flew towards the very top of the ever-growing prison. The crystals continued to chase after him until Ren just barely slipped out of the top of the crystal. 

 This is good and bad. 

 Good because Ren can get the others. 

 Bad because I was stuck in here with a madman. I looked towards the madman in question. 

 Scar was looking directly at me; his eyes digging into my very being as he got closer. I tried to move, but a sudden pain exploded through my side as I tried to move away. 

 The pain was nulling as Scar got closer to me.

 " So....." I froze when he spoke. 

 Scar's voice wasn't his own now. The normal friendly and calm voice was now that of a monster who's voice was as dead and twisted as his eyes and physical condition. 

 Scar grabbed me by my coat and lifted me up, " You are..... one of the hermits.... of this world?" he questioned with his head tilted slightly. 

 I nodded slowly as Scar growled, " ...." I froze up as he pinned me against the wall, " Where... Otherworlders?" he hissed as I flinched. It would seem that the creature couldn't speak well in Scar's body. 

 I looked at him in silence as Scar shoved me further against the wall; the crystals cutting into my back, " Where. are. they?" his eyes glowed dangerously as I shook my head.

 " I.... I can't tell you." I stared at him as he blinked, " Why can't you? It's not that hard." he shook his head as I narrowed my eyes, " I .....won't tell you.... ever..." I growled back as Scar grew even angrier. The next thing I knew I was thrown against the wall.

A sharp crack filled the air as I yelled out in pain. 

 Scar simply laughed at me, " You should....just..... tell me...." he uttered as he took out a crystal-like sword. 

 I shook my head again. 

 The pain was getting worse as the outer part of my vision was turning red. 

 Scar walked towards me; his frame lowered as a heavy frown formed, " Will you not tell me because I have your friend under my iron grip? Is he not intimidating to you?" he questioned as he stopped and made his sword disappear. I watched in pained silence as Scar's body dropped and hit the floor. 

 His body shook as a shadowy, purple, and crystal covered monster came out from him. The monster towered over the both of us as he let out a slow laugh.

 " Is this better?" he turned to face me as his blank, black eyes stared down at me. 

 I coughed as the beast got closer, " No answer? Ah... That's right... You 'normal' creatures are doing the whole conserve your energy for fast feeling... Well, I'm sorry to say this, but as long as your stuck in this prison.... " he picked me up as my limp limbs just dangled helplessly.

 " You will never recover nor get out of here." it laughed as I shook my head, " I...." I started to cough, " I wouldn't be....so sure...." I grinned as a loud explosion came from behind the creature. The creature perked up and turned around to face the open hole in the wall. 

 Impulse, Ren, and False stood in the entryway. 

 The creature scoffed, " Is this suppose to be your idea of a rescue plan?" it shook its head as I nodded, " You realize that this is just three idiots, and one of them is a dog correct?" it cocked its head as Ren let out a growl.

  " Oh... We've got more then three." he laughed as Grian and the others appeared behind him. 

 I was dropped to the ground causing the pain to shoot to the point where I could barely figure out what was happening. 

 The last thing I witnessed was Ren and the others going in separate directions and Iskall along with Impulse came up to me and Scar and picked us up as the darkness of pain took me under.
