Grian knew who this was, but how did they so much about him? The X was related to his birthday, August 9th, 1993 and his data point's age(25). The Y was how many hermits started on the server, 22. And the Z, that was related to Wynncraft, his current level; 739 but negative, so -739.
As for who did it, yeah, he was pissed at them. How in the world did they get out though? Grian was currently blaming his magic.
"Hey Mumbo? Have you seen Grian?" "Not since this morning, he looked kinda pissed though." "Hey guys, have you two seen the sign in front of Grian's traveling cart?" "No, why?" "There are coordinates on it that seem really bad." Mumbo and X glanced at each other, before following the swede.
It didn't take long for Grian to find the X and Z coordinates, however the Y coordinate was way off. It was off by about 78, which is odd, because there was never 100 hermits. But beside that, there was a huge black box just floating in the sky. Grian flew up to it. However when he landed, the door on the box was open. Grian snuck inside.
Laughter entered the corridor. Grian's eyes went wide. Doc, Ren, Cleo, Zed, Scar, Wels, and Jevin were all in cages.

(^^That's kinda what the room looked like.^^)
However what concerned him was how pale they all were. Even Cleo who was already pale was a few shades paler than her normal skin tone. The sounds of pistons moving made Grian's head snap to the back wall. And who walked out freaked him out. It was a half broken NPC Grian, his right hand was nothing but the raw skeleton, his left arm was gone up to the elbow, most of the metal covering on both of his legs was gone, and the left side of metal face cover was gone.
In his hand, he had 8 blank white stones, that Grian recognized instantly. They were beryllonite. While in the real world these stones were used for jewelry or spiritual purposes, in the Minecraft world, these were magic abortion stones. About 50 years ago, they were made illegal for anyone to buy. However they were still to be found and bought. And the reason they were made illegal? Well, about 80 years ago, (E/N: So about the same time as WW2 Ninja?{maybe...}) there was a mass of kidnapped magic users, all of which were drained. It took about 8 years to find all the locations and free the users, however about 90% of them died. Grian had to get them out before their magic level got too low.
"As soon as final user gets here, your magic and this server and many others will fall to me!" The robot's voice was glitching, but was still understandable. "Yeah, right! Grian way stronger than you!" Ren growled. NPC glared at the wolfman. "How about you keep that mouth of yours's shut?" NPC said. Ren growled at NPC, and NPC walked over to the other side of the cage, and Grian heard a lever flip. A grey beam fire into the cage, and Ren screamed. The next thing NPC knew, he was pinned to the ground by a very angry Grian. "Grian, what a surprise." he chuckled. "So if I heard you right, you are planning on KILLING us?" "Yes. So what, human life is just a waste of space. So what's wrong with getting rid of 8 people?" Grian tried to use his admin magic, however due to what ever it was blocking all but his wings, he was unable to use it. "Oh, I see someone has been blocked from using their magic." All but Cleo looked at Grian in shock. "Does it really matter if I have my magic or not? Remember I built you, so I know how to beat you." NPC laughed, "Like a weakling like you can beat me? HA!" Grian's rage and anger was building. "It's no wonder you keep failing at EVERYTHING!" NPC sent flying backwards by the wind. However it didn't come from Ren.
It came from Grian. His eyes were glowing grey. "HOW THE HECK DID YOU DO THAT!" Grian growled, his eyes switched to red, and NPC was sent on fire. At this point Grian's upper left arm was glowing 7 out of the 8 basic types of magic. His eye glow changed to purple. And then he vanished. "Where did he go!" "Behind you." A voice said.
Behind NPC Grian was Grian, however he looked more like the description below.
(A/N: Grian's next magic form, parts. -2 sets of wings, one angel and one demon -twin tails -Horns -4 eyes(B/c y not) -fangs
Yeah... not mention his eyes were all 8 basic magic colors. And he was beyond pissed. He let a animalsisct roar.
About an hour later, outside the box prison, most of the hermits were gathered looking up at the box. For the last 40 minutes or so, bright light kept coming from inside the box. "Are you sure we shouldn't go up there?" X asked. "X, just wait." TFC said. Ren appeared in Iskall's arms. "Um... where he come from!?!" Stress asked, jumping back in surprise. Ren whimpered, as Iskall shifted him. "Why is he so pale?" False asked. Jevin appeared in Biffa's arms. "Jev?" Jevin was shaking. "Woah, he is also pale." Joe said. Wels appeared in Joe's arms. "Wels?" Biffa's voice was laced with worry. "Why are they all paler?" Doc appeared in X's arms. "Liebling?!?(Darling?!?)" X exclaimed, slipping into german. "Is it bad that they are all coming back pale?" Tango asked. Zed appeared in Impulse's arms. "Oh no. Zed." Impulse whispered, bringing him into hug. Cleo appeared in Stress's arms. "Okay, now I'm starting to get concerned." Stress said. Scar appeared in Cub's arms. "Okay, who do I hurt?"
BOOM!!!
The hermits looked up to see the box completely destroyied. The remains of a robot landed on the ground. And a creature appeared holding 7 white stones. The creature took a deep breathe and the form vanished, leaving Grian in it's place.
"What just happened?" Mumbo asked. "NPC happened. He was planning to drain the magic hermits of our magic and using it to take over the server and any server of his choice." Grian said, glaring at the stones. "Are those what I think they are?" Impulse asked. "Yea, he had 8 of 'em." "What are those?" "Smpily put, they are magic draining stones. And like admin magic, if you drain someone of their magic..." "They die." X finished. Grian nodded, before throwing the stones to the ground breaking them.
Magic swirled into the air, and then back to it's owner. The color began to slowly return back to the magic hermits.
And about 24-ish hours later, they were mostly back to normal, minus the mental scars of almost dieing.
As for NPC Grian? Well he is no longer a threat. Grian destroied his system during the fight.

Okay this took way longer than I would like. I might avoid this book for a couple days. You know go on break but not completely. So um... ya.
Also big news! On 25.6.19 the twins will be one! Ya, I figured I needed to set a date for the Hermit Kids, which will be getting their own book on that date.
