Fallen

Chapter II

Grian fell from a high place whilst fighting creeper
<Xisuma> rip
<Tango> o.O

Grian woke up in a panic in his bed at his hobbit hole, as he tried slowing his breaths he held his chest.

"Oh my heart.... my little aching heart. Why'd I have to hit the ground instead of the lava?" 

Respawns weren't fun, in fact they were quite painful. Grian looked in the chat Mumbo was sending messages.

<MumboJumbo> Grian?
<Grian> I'm fine, respawned at my hobbit hole
<Grian> Can you grab my stuff that didn't burn?
<MumboJumbo> Yeah, on it now. I'll be on my way in a bit.

As Grian read the last message Xisuma flew in, "Hey! How do you feel after your respawn?"
"I have a pounding headache but other than that I'm perfectly fine."
"Glad to hear, what happened exactly though? You don't normally see a death message like that in the chat."
"Oh... Mumbo and I were caving, we ran into a ravine that was FULL of lava. Then got ambushed by creepers, skeletons and cave spiders." 
"That makes much more sense." X said with a sigh, "I'll leave ya to wait for Mumbo. Take it easy."
"You got it, X-I-Sooma-void!"
"Later G-R-ian." X said and flew out of his hobbit hole.

Grian sighed as he waited for the return of Mumbo. He was looking in some of his chests for a spare sword or something. He walked over to his ender chest as he was head first rummaging into the box looking for a spare elytra in case his burned. Just then he heard the loud bell bang right beside him. He bumped his head on the top of the chest.

"Ow.. shit.." Grian said as he looked over towards the mustached man in the mine cart. Grian sighed as he walked over and removed the mine cart from the track. 

"very funny Mumbo." Grian said as Mumbo pulled him into a hug.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, Mumbo. I'm fine. Just a pounding headache. What of my gear survived?" Grian asked as Mumbo put down a shulker box beside the two.
"Everything but your elytra and enderchests survived." Mumbo explained. 
"Just my luck." Grian said as he started looking through the ender chest that was over in the corner. "At least I still have my spare elytra. I can't believe that just happened."
"Did you do a debrief with X on your respawn?"
"He came to me and yes I did, it was quick and quite frankly really brief." Grian laughed. 

"That did NOT go as planned." Mumbo said.
"You don't say." Grian said with a smirk, while he was enchanting his elytra with mending and unbreaking.  "It was SO bad. That's such an embarrassing death message too."
"Oh come on. It wasn't THAT bad."
"I got blown up by a creeper that landed me to hit the ground so hard I died. It's an embarrassing death message Mumbo." Grian giggled.
"Okay, fair enough. Well, I'm gonna leave you to do Grian things. Call me if you need me." Mumbo said giving Grian a smooch on the forehead before leaving the hobbit hole. 

It was getting dark on the hermitcraft server and Grian was just working on his Nether mansion. He landed on a nearby platform to look at it when he heard the sound of rockets nearby. He walked around the corner to see who it was.

Grian couldn't make out the figure in front of him until he crashed into him causing them both to hit the ground.

"Hey Grian."
"ow.. Hi? If you're gonna attack me in the nether at least give me a warning so I could pop a fire res potion you spoon." Grian said propping himself up on his elbows. "I'm sorry... Are you wearing a bamboo suit?" He said, getting up looking at the cut on his arm, "Ow.." 
"Yeah I am actually. Sent the twelve bamboo Iskall sent me over for his hermit challenges over to a tailor. Y'know?" 
"Y-Yeah.. I guess. What brings you here Mumbo?" Grian said placing his ender chest looking for a spare healing potion to heal the bleeding cut on his arm.
"Well, one your invitation to the upside down. And two just because I was wondering where you were, it was getting dark outside and you weren't in your bases." 
"Oh.. It's dark already? I must have been down here for hours! It's easy to loose track of time when you're in the Nether." Grian said drinking the healing potion he found.  

"GRIAN!!" Said a voice really close, Grian looked over and Iskall crashed into him and pinned him to the ground.

"Ah.. Ow... Iskall!" Grian said voice strained as Iskalls' knee pinned him to the ground. Iskalls knee buried on his chest. "Iskall... Can't breathe.." 
"OOPS! Sorry Grian!!" Iskall said moving his knee off of Grians' chest, Grian took in deep breaths as his lungs refilled with air. He propped himself up again, "Dude... Iskall, not.. cool." He said between breaths.
"At least I gave you a warning. Are you okay though?"
"Yeah.. Yeah, I'm okay. What is it with people tackling me to the ground today?" Grian asked as Iskall and Mumbo helped him up. The boys simply just shrugged. "Anyways, what brings you here Iskall?" Grian asked as Mumbo put an arm around Grian's shoulder. 

"Have you heard what Doc is trying to do?" Iskall said, Mumbo and Grian simply shook their heads no, "He's trying to get team S.T.A.R back together. I'd watch your backs if you don't want to be ambushed."
"The war was last season though. We aren't going to have another civil war.... To my knowledge anyways." Grian said, "Can we get out of here? I've been down here for hours." Mumbo and Iskall nodded and took off on their elytras and Grian followed them to the shopping district portal. 

As they walked out into the open air off the overworld it was dark. "I should really get back to my hobbit home and get some rest." Grian said, Iskall and Mumbo agreed and they all flew off in their own general directions.

When Grian got to his base he took off his armour, then there was a noise coming from the obnoxious bell of his messaging system. Grian walked over to the chest and looked inside and there was nothing there. Grian looked up from the chest and destroyed the chest minecart, he started to turn around when both his arms were grabbed and he was pinned to the wall.

"AH.. This isn't funny!" Grian said as Doc appeared out of the shadows and Wels and Ren took off their little disguises. "Doc?! Ren?! Wels?! What is going on?!" Grian asked. 

"It'll be easier if you just follow us." Doc growled in Grian's ear.
