(False's POV)

False bumped cups with everyone before having their sips.

Suddenly, a strange otherworldly hum sounded from above her head, and she looked up.

Two vortexes materialized in the sky, and two different groups fell from them.

From one vortex was Menace who lunged at X, who swerved out of the way. Menace then retreated.

The second vortex had Grian, Ren, Impulse, Tango. (GRIT, wow.)

But weren't they back?

Doesn't matter.

Dropping her cup, False hurried to greet X.

"X!", False gasped.

X laughed. "I'm back!"

His eyes travelled to the X twin. "Oh. Er, thank you, Yortsed.", he greeted as they pulled together for a squeeze. 

Meanwhile, the two Grians exchanged a handshake. "Right!", said the twin in a slightly more deeper tone. "My job is done.", he said before flying off with his elytra.

EX (maybe) pulled away from the hug, and also made a great getaway.

Iskall walked over, and shook his head exasperately. Then, his eye (literally) flashed with a good idea. "Hey, why don't you all revitalize yourselves?"

The demised hermits looked at eachother and grinned.

(TIME SKIP)

(Mumbo's POV)

He had told them that the machine wasn't quite tested.

Now, there were some miscolored hermits.

Of course, those who didn't use his saturator were fine; and some hermits who did use his machine actually succeeded.

False looked like a female Joker. Joe was re-saturated properly, but thanks to the fact that he inversed the colors as well, Joe was still miscolored.

"Errrr....", interrupted a voice.

Turning around, Mumbo laughed when he saw Iskall with a very colorful shirt. 

"Did you investigate the machine DESPITE the fact you're alive?", Mumbo laughed. 

Iskall only laughed nervously, and ran away.

Mumbo shook his head exasperately, and turned his head to the people who had fallen out of the sky to hear their story.

(Jevin's POV)

"During that long month we were stuck, we had a lot of time to steal Thanoian's  Infini-Grian stones.", Ren explained. Suddenly, his eye twitched confusedly. 

"Weird.", Jevin thought, and dug deeper into Ren's mind to see what's wrong.

Why is this happening to me again? Why do I have these memories I don't remember happening to me from two different perspectives? ,Ren's mind inquired.

Now even more curious, Jevin scanned through Ren's memories.

"Yo, Static!"

Someone's white dog-like paws with black patches waved at another teenager with longish hair.

The other person's eyes lit up excitedly. "Duke!", he greets, and runs up to this unknown mutant.

Memory passes.

"Duke!", cheerfully greets the unknown person, his arms pumping.

Judging by the skin tone, Jevin guesses that this is from the eyes from the other person in the other memory. But why are there two memories of the same event from two different people?

'Static' runs towards 'Duke' who is a white and black dog mutant. Duke's tail is wagging wildly.

"C'mon, Static! Let's play some Smash Bros in my new house!", Duke says, while running to a house. Static follows him inside.

Memory passes.

Suddenly, it's in Duke's eyes again; judging by the white and black paws. They are in what seems to be Duke's house.

"S-Static? Why do I feel like we're being pulled together?", he whimpers.

Static hugs him. "We'll be alright, mate. Just hang on."

"W-what if we die?"

Static shrugs, but tears of fear start forming. "I... don't know." He then straightens up. "We'll always be together. Someday, we'll even find out where that stupid potion comes from!"

The view bobs up and down slowly. Duke is nodding hesitantly.

Pain seizes Duke's point of view.

Both Duke and Static scream.

Darkness.

Shaky breathing. A strange light toned hand lifts itself from the floor.

"Who am I?", thinks this new person.

Suddenly, realization fills Jevin. This was Ren. But then.. where did Static and Duke go?

(Stress's POV)

Stress continues rubbing the towel over her to get rid of the wet ice-y cold from her skin.

"...And now that's how I got out.", finishes X.

Ren looks up from his confused gaze. "But no matter. We're BACK AND READY!"

Agreeing cheers sound from around Stress and also from her mouth.

Nothing would stop them.
