Trigger warning (TW) for needles and needle usage in the fic! It's only like, 2 or 3 lines but I know some people (me included) are bothered by needles and such, so I figured I might as well trigger warn it here.

He could see nothing but the walls of fire surrounding him, the only sound except the crackling of the hot flames where the screams of those he's killed. He had tried running through the walls but they wouldn't let him get through.
All of a sudden two hands grabbed onto both his arms, turning around he was met with the burned corpses of Zedaph and Impulse and they were screaming at him.
"Why did you do it?!"
"You promised you wouldn't harm us!"
"Why did X ever trust you?!"
"Your nothing but a bloodthirsty monster!"
"Nothing but a monster."
"A monster!"
"Monster!"
Monster.
He was a monster.
Tango lurched upwards, breaths coming out in ragged intervals. Looking up he saw the concerned faces of Impulse and Zedaph. His eyes widened mind going back to the dream, he didn't see the real Zed and Impulse but there burnt corpses. Zedaph quickly pulled the distraught blonde into a hug, whispering sweet nothings into his ear to calm him down. Half an hour later Tango had calmed down and was explaining his dream to the rest of team ZIT,
"-and then you two jumped out and started s-saying the-these things and-and I-I," he didn't get any farther before bursting into tears. Both of his companions hugged him this time. Sighing they looked each other in the eyes and nodded, they knew what they had to do.
Later at dinner they decided to tell the half demon their plan to help him with his powers, hopefully. Just as dinner was being finished up Impulse spoke up "Hey, Tango?"
Said person looked up and said a quick 'Yeah, what is it?'. Impulse looked over at Zedaph who motioned for him to continue, "We think we found something that could help you with your, erh, demon powers."
Said demon perked up at this, looking interested if not a bit skeptical, "You see there's this potion called Nolite Potestates that can dampen the output of someone's powers, but there's just one little thing that's in the way," by this point Impulse was shifting quit a but in his seat so Zedaph decided to take over, and he was rather blunt.
"It has to be mixed by a vex or someone blessed by a vex.", the blonde demon froze at this, there are only two people on this server blessed by a vex. The Convex. And they'd ask why they wanted this potion made and then he'd have to tell them his closest kept secret. And now he was debating if the pros outweigh the cons or vice versa.
Finally after a few minutes he spoke up, "Impulse," said person perked up at this, "what are the chances of this potion working?"
The brunette thought for a few moments before answering, "I believe it's a 50/50 chance, but if you use it to enchant an item the chances are higher."
Looking at his friend in the eye Tango stood up and went to his room, returning a few moments later with a pendant in hand. It looked like a fire with devil horns, it was decently sized for a pendant being almost as big as his palm. "Will this work?"
Impulse nodded, "That will do."
"Then let's go."
Before they went to Concorp land they decided to take a look at the newly opened Sahara. To their amusement and slight confusion, Xisuma was there too and he was holding Grian in his arms and spinning him around. They walked closer and tapped the heavily chuckleling Mumbo on the shoulder, and asked what was going on.
"X agreed to supply some of our stock and kinda be our business partner (I don't know, I didn't watch the whole episode!)" answered the mustached man, eyes shining.
Team ZIT could feel that this was more then Xisuma agreeing to be a business partner of Sahara but left it, deciding to ask Grian about it the next day at there weekly gossip meeting. (They have a weekly gossip meeting?? That's precious!) But Tango did catch something shiny on Grian's left hand on there way out.
Finally going to Concorp land the half demon couldn't help but shiver, the place was drenched in vex magic and it was messing with his own demon powers a bit. So he gently nudged the magic away from him, but even that was enough to alert the two vex's residing on the land and suddenly the three where standing in the middle of a room with Cub and Scar standing in front of them.
"Which one of you was it that probed at the vex magics?" Cub's usually calm voice was hard as he spoke, he wasn't happy one bit.
Tango stepped forward, "That was me, sorry, it was just that it felt so suffocating that I had to do something about it."
"Wait, you could feel it well enough that it was bothering you?" asked Scar taking a step closer, searching for anything that could give what Tengo was away.
Tango decide to tell them now, what did he have to lose? He was going to have to tell them sooner or later anyways, "I'm a half demon, and I kinda need your help."
The vex's eyes widened, but that was the only reaction to the information they gave, "And what exactly do you need our help with?"
"There's this potion called Nolite Potestates, we need your help to brew it." said Impulse, being the one to have read up the most about the potion he decided to be the one to discuss everything with Cub and Scar.
Cub raised an eyebrow at the name of the potion, "The power stopping potion? Well, I can only guess you'll need it to block part of your demon powers?" at team ZIT's nod he continued, "We can help you, but we want something in return."
Zedaph muttered a quiet 'Of course' as Tango asked, "What do you want?"
"We'll need some of your blood, since demon blood is full of magic it might be useful in the future."
The half demon hesitated, debating if it was really worth it. On one hand he knew that Cub and Scar wouldn't do anyone on the server any real harm deliberately, but he was still hesitant. Finally deciding he nodded at the two Vex's, holding out his arm.
Cub pulled out a needle and swiftly inserted said object into one of the veins in his wrist, and the swiftly pulling it out when enough blood was drawn. He then proceeded to put it in his Ender chest for safe keeping. Instead of rejoining the group he headed somewhere else, and left Scar to usher there guests out.
Impulse opened his mouth to speak but Scar cut him off before he could get anything out, "He's went to make your potion, we don't know when it will be done but as soon as it is it will be delivered to you. Now have a nice day, and please do checkout one of our amazing shops in the shopping district!"
Team ZIT walked away, muttering there goodbye's to their fellow hermit as he slunk away to help Cub with making the potion. They entered a comfortable silence as they walked back to there respective bases.
"HOLY SHIT, I KNEW IT WASN'T JUST A BUSINESS PROPOSAL!! G-MAN, SPILL!!"
"Tango, please, there's no need to shout."
"BUT THERE IS! Also, I'm the flower girl, got it?"
"I'm starting to think of not inviting you."
An old request that's finally finished. I have forgotten who requested this but they know who they are, so here's the request!
Also, did anyone figure out the X and Grian thing? If so when? Was it at the first part? Or at the end? Or do you still not know? I'd really like to here where you spotted it!
Roast me if you find any punctuation or grammar errors, cowards.
