Gifted: Hermitcraft

Strike

(Scar's POV)

Scar drew his blade as he prepared to sleep behind a wall.

But all of a sudden, a piece of paper flew towards him in the nighttime wind.

Curious, Scar plucked it from the air and read it.

"Two people have died already. We need to strike back. Respond, and I'll answer back. From, X.", it read.

Scar reached into his inventory and brought out a spare quill.

"Who?", he wrote.

With amazement, he watched as the paper wrote on itself.

Underneath his response, it said, "Python. Meet me at Ren's crypt."

Scar sighed, and walked over to the neighboring crypt.

(Tango's POV)

Tango massaged his aching horns as he cruised in the air.

Just two days ago, he had an innocent unaffected life.

Now look.

He now had powers, and there are crazy clones running around.

Like, what the Grian?

Just then, Tango felt cold metal scratch his back.

Flipping over, Tango could see a blue figure with menacing green eyes and a bloody diamond sword in its hand.

The figure rose higher into the air and then dived into Tango, knocking the air out of him.

Tango threw a punch, in which; to his satisfaction; met warm flesh.

The figure hissed, and tried to swing again. 

Tango dodged, but in his panicked moves, dropped his trident.

The figure chuckled, and gave a whistle.

At the sound of his whistle, three phantoms emerged from the night and dived at Tango.

Tango cursed, and decided to try and avoid them.

He turned tail and flew away.

Even as he sped off, though, he could hear the screams of fury behind him.

Gritting his teeth, Tango dropped to the ground and pulled out an emergency potion of invisibility.

He took off his armor quickly and drank it.

He then proceeded to walk the rest of the way.

(Cub's POV)

Cub swooped down and waited outside the crypt.

X had called him here at Ren's crypt.

A gray hand opened the door.

It was X.

Xisuma looked up and saw Cub, who was disguised as a bat.

"Cub! Why are you a bat?", X laughed.

Cub tried to respond, but all he mustered was an adorable bat squeak.

"Oh, right.", Cub thought as he remembered he can't talk.

Cub flew around a corner and shapeshifted back to human form.

Quickly, he pulled out his lab coat (Which he had taken off to maximize disguise effectiveness.) and pulled it on.

Cub then ran around the corner and gave X an embarrassed smile.

X laughed, but he quickly became serious.

"Come inside."

(Stress's POV)

X came back inside the crypt with Cub.

Inside the crypt was X, Stress, Impulse, Cub, and Tango.

"Why are we here Eck-zeema?", she asked while terribly attempting to say his name.

X huffed, but responded.

"The Egos have become a threat. We need to strike back.", he said while grabbing a map from his inventory.

Stress looked curiously at him.

"What if some of them are nice?", she inquired.

"Then we'll spare them. But we have to teach the others a lesson.", Impulse piped up.

X looked in his direction and nodded.

"Alright. Stress, here's what you should do.."

(Timeskip brought to you by False self-consciously trying to pull off her dragon head.)

 Stress peeked around a tree, two swords in hand.

Her mission was to hunt down the evil Scar that tried to kill Zedaph.

A rustle was heard up ahead.

Stress held her breath.

Here she goes.
