 Iskall's POV:

 I can't believe I didn't follow my best friends. Cub and Iskall have changed into weird plant hybrids, and I don't know what could've happened to Grian. Heck, Mumbo could be in the same situation as Grian by now!

 The three of us landed at Grian's base to find no one there. I pointed up towards the moustache machine. Cub and Scar nodded their heads, and the three of us flew up to the level where that marvelous moustache machine was located.

 When the three of us landed, Scar and I let out a gasp. A giant, red, brown, and yellow dragon was panting and scratching at his ears with his foot.

 Grian.

 I walked forward as the dragon put his head on the ground.

 " Ishgall..." Grian whined as he stared at me. I put my flipper on his head, " Where is Mums, G?" I asked him as Grian looked over at Mumbo, who was hiding in the corner. Mumbo already had black muzzle and sharp teeth that grew out of his snout. 

 Mumbo stared at me with his piercing, panicked green eyes. The Brit breathed heavily as the scales on his muzzle slowly crawled up to the rest of his face. Grian looked down at Mumbo and back at us. Grian's ears twitched as his eyes turned to slits. The dragon spread his wings out and grabbed Mumbo then grabbed me.

 I admit that I screamed.

 Cub and Scar watched in fear as Mumbo and I were carried away. Scar ran forward and summoned a vine from his wrist. He tried to grab at my leg, but he missed Grian's leg by an inch.

 " CUBFAN! SCAR!" I shouted as their tiny selves disappeared from me. 

 The three of us rose above hermitcraft, and I could see the tiny figures of the other hermits. They were all watching us as we flew over the islands. I breathed heavily as I looked at Mumbo's now unconscious body.

 Mumbo was getting worse by the second. A pair of wings were trying to force their way through Mumbo's shirt. I looked up at Grian as he anxiously flew through the air. Grian was mumbling to himself in quiet whines and roars as he dove through the clouds.

 I adore flying. I love going through clouds and breathing the open air, but I'm scared for Grian. I know he's probably doing this out of protection for Mumbo's changing self, but why would he take me as well?

 Grian flapped his wings as he slowly descended into a cave far away from Hermitcraft. I breathed heavily as I ran my hand through my hair. While I was going this, Grian gently put Mumbo down into a deeper part of the cave. I looked up as Grian came back and laid down.

 " Sorry for kidnapping you Iskall... I... " Grian breathed heavily as smoke came out of his nostrils. I put my flipper on his snout and shook my head, " You panicked my dude. It's fine." I told him. 

 The two of us looked down the cave as what looked like red fireworks exploded and turned into blue droplets of water. I cocked my head to the side as a dragon, larger than Grian, exhaustedly dragged himself to the front of the cave.

 Mumbo. 

 The black and red dragon flopped in front of us, " It... I'm bloody sore..." Mumbo spoke in a weak voice. Mumbo looked between Grian and I while sticking his tongue out. He panted and changed to laying down on his side.

 I walked over to Mumbo and patted the hermit's head, " You'll feel better soon." I tried to smile at him. Mumbo looked up at me with a sigh. He looked at my flipper hand and raised his scaly eyebrow.

 " Wot happened to you?" Mumbo questioned as I sat down between the two dragonic hermits. I shrugged my shoulders as I ran my fingers over the soft, black feathers I had now. I told Mumbo how I turned not long after he left to chase down Grian.

 I decided to also explain that I believed that something in Hermitville probably turned the five of us into the hybrids and dragons that we are now. Mumbo only frowned deeper, " How? Cub wasn't even in the build-off, and I decided to forfeit!" his mouth was smoking.

 I hugged the side of Mumbo's head, " Calm down Mumb." I patted the side of his head. Mumbo let out an annoyed noise as I slid off of the side of his head like a penguin would. I squawked and landed on the other side of him. 

 Mumbo perked up and looked down at me, " Iskall! Are you alright?" he questioned nervously as I rolled onto my back. I gave him a thumbs up as I got up. My tail twitched as I nodded.

 " I'm fine my dude." I told him as I laid against his neck. Grian let out a small laugh as he looked at the two of us, " I wish I had my glasses... This would be funnier if I wasn't near sighted. " he shook his head. 

 I looked between the two of them, " When Mumbo isn't tired, can we get back to Hermitcraft? " I questioned as the two looked at each other. Mumbo cocked his head to the side, " We can, but.... I..." Mumbo quickly fell asleep. I looked over at Grian for answers.

 Grian frowned, " That transformation.... It honestly took a lot.... out of the two of us it seems." he stuck his tongue out. Grian looked at me, " Maybe you could call Cub and Scar? I know I took you two, but I guess we need their help." he admitted with his ears lowered.

 I nodded at the dragon and quickly typed on my communicator. After a few rings, a nervous Scar picked up, and the two were on their way.
