Mumbo tried to get up while EX watched him. "I-I... Won't let y-you hurt him." Mumbo stepped forward.
EX scoffed before Mumbo lunged and was met with a swift kick, sending him tumbling to the floor.
"And stay down." EX told him coldly before stepping towards Grian, who was shaking like a leaf. "Well, kitten," EX squatted in front of Grian. "I'd give you the choice I gave your friends but," He picked Grian up, bringing him to the table as Grian cried out.
He sat Grian down on the table as Grian started to hyperventilate. "You made your choice already." He hissed, drawing his sword, aiming it towards Grian, who managed to scoot back into the corner of the wall and table.
EX raised his sword, aimed to kill Grian, making Grian tense and look away.
EX gasped as he was pulled backwards by something wrapping around his neck. He missed the kitten on the table and felt Xel lunged forward, hooking his left arm around EX's shoulders and pulled him back making his sword miss Grian while also feeling a sword thrust into his back.
EX gasped, looking down seeing the sword sticking out of him but was unable to see what was holding him back.
"I warned you." A voice hissed, making EX's eyes widen.
"Wha-"
"Don't ever touch him again." they whispered darkly.
EX saw the kitten look up and gape in shock at the blade tip sticking out of his chest. He moved slightly and tried to stab the ghost with a small dagger but the kitten quickly spotted it and lunged forward, digging his claws into EX's hand making him cry out and drop the knife.
It was kicked away.
EX grabbed at the kitten as he dropped from his hand and held him. "Release me. Now."
The ghost held his grip. "Drop him." he demanded.
"Not until you let me go." EX hissed.
"Not until you put him down or your regen wears off. Which should be momentarily from the looks of it."
EX paled but held the kitten towards the sword tip. "Remove it. Now."
The ghost withdrew the sword but kept the grip. "Drop him."
EX hesitated before lunging forward, out of the grip and grabbed his sword and swiftly turned around and cut the ghost.
They hissed in pain but quickly moved to keep fighting. They swung their blade at EX who blocked it, trying to move towards the door.
The others were starting to stir and stared in shock at the floating blade dueling EX.
The kitten tried to get free of EX's grasp only to be held at sword point. "Let me go." EX demanded. "Or I'll kill him."
The sword dropped and was kicked across the floor.
EX smirked and moved towards the door. He backed up until a knife sliced his wrist making him drop the kitten with a scream.
A larger cat ran forward and grabbed the kit by his scruff in his mouth and ran for cover.
The kitten had passed out from fear and hung limply.
Then the sword was torn from EX's hands and he was pinned against the wall.
Everyone stared at the floating sword.
"Evil Xisuma. You have been found guilty of kidnapping, attacking, injuring, and attempted murder of the Hermits of Hermitcraft. What do you have to say for yourself?"
EX glared at the sword. "I won't give up. I'll never give up until I take over this server!" He growled. He glared over at the unconscious kitten. "Turned out the brat was more trouble than he was worth..." He hissed. "He better keep an eye out from now on..." He muttered.
Within a moment, the blade was thrust through EX's chest again making him gasp in pain.
"And you better do the same. Cause you won't have friends and family watching it for you." The ghost hissed in his ear before pulling the blade out, killing EX who dropped before disappearing in a puff of smoke.
Items littered the floor from where he once was.
-------
EX snapped his open as he jerked up into an upright position with a sharp gasp. He winced at the light that shone through his visor and blinked. "What?" He muttered before looking around.
He was in the middle of a plains field near a small oak forest.
He quickly leapt to his feet. "What?! Who messed with my spawn point?! UGH!" He growled, curling his hands into fists. "When I find the punk who changed my spawn I'll-!"
"0100100001000101010011000100110001001111" A voice started calling out ones and zeros in a somewhat flat voice.
He turned to face the voice but couldn't see them. "Who's there?!" He demanded, listening carefully.
"0100110101011001001000000100111001000001010011010100010100100000010010010101001100100000010011100101000001000011001000000100011101010010010010010100000101001110"
EX frowned. The voice sounded familiar but... He stepped forward. "Who's there?"
"01001000010001010100110001010000001000000100110101000101"
EX stepped into the woods a little but stopped when he spotted someone lying on the ground. He took a moment to craft a stone sword and held it tight. "I said ,'' Who are you?!" He demanded.
"01001000010001010100110001010000001000000100110101000101" Was his reply in the same flat, slightly british sounding voice.
He came closer and stopped.
He stared at the person before him in shock and surprise before aiming his sword. "You! You did this! You changed my spawn!" He hissed.
"01010010010101010101001101010100010010010100001100100000010010000100111101010101010100110100010100100000010100000100110001000101010000010101001101000101001000000100100001000101010011000101000000100000010011010100010100100000010010010010000001000001010011010010000001010011010000110100000101010010010001010100010000100000010101110100100001011001001000000100000101010010010001010010000001011001010011110101010100100000010011100100111101010100001000000100100001000101010011000101000001001001010011100100011100100000010011010100010100100000010100100101010101010011010101000100100101000011001000000100100001001111010101010101001101000101"
The voice just started rambling off seeming unending.
EX narrowed his eyes, realizing something. "You... You aren't that... Grian boy... Are you? This... This isn't a joke." He slowly stashed the sword away and knelt down and stared at the british boys look alike before grabbing its arm and pulling it to its feet.
It turned and looked at him. "0101010001001000010000010100111001001011001000000101100101001111010101010010000001010011010101000101001001000001010011100100011101000101010100100010000001010010010101010101001101010100010010010100001100100000010010000100111101010101010100110100010100100000010101000100100001000001010011100100101101010011001000000101100101001111010101010010000001010100010011110100111100100000010101110100100001001111001000000100000101010010010001010010000001011001010011110101010100100000010101110100100001000101010100100100010100100000010000010100110100100000010010010010000001001001001000000101011101000001010100110010000001001001010011100010000001010100010010000100010100100000010000110100110001001111010100110100010101010100001000000100001001010101010101000010000001001110010011110101011100100000010010010010000001000001010011010010000001001000010001010101001001000101001000000100001101000001010101010101001101000101001000000100100100100000010011110101000001000101010011100100010101000100001000000101010001001000010001010010000001000100010011110100111101010010001000000101010001001111001000000101010001001000010001010010000001000011010011000100111101010011010001010101010000100000010000010100111001000100-"
"Okay, first of all. Shut up. Second of all, let me see if I can fix your speech." EX started fumbling around with it. The sun was starting to set when he finished. "There. That should be it. Try now."
"HELLO" It spoke flatly as it looked at him. "I AM NPC GRIAN THANK YOU STRANGER FOR HELPING ME"
EX raised an eyebrow. "NPC...Grian?"
"THAT IS ME" It replied emotionlessly yet it sounded slightly cheery?
"Uh, Okay then. Well. I'm Evil Xisuma or EX for short I guess... Uh, any clue where we are?"
"NO IDEA" It replied. "RUSTIC HOUSE DOESNT KNOW EITHER"
"Uh... Rustic... house?"
"YES MY ONE AND ONLY COMPANION HE IS THE ONLY REASON I AM SANE AFTER BEING IN A CLOSET FOR SO LONG HE NEVER LEAVES ME SO I BUILD HIM WHEREVER I GO IN RETURN"
EX stared at him. Who was this guy? And that... Grian kid made him?
EX sighed. This server is inviting crazier people now? Great...
He looked at the sky. "Well. If you know how to build one... could you do it now?"
"OF COURSE I SHALL TEACH YOU HOW TO-"
"No. Just build it."
"I WILL TEACH-"
"Just build-"
"BUILD A RUSTIC HOUSE OR ELSE"
EX flinched at the darkness in the flat voice. "Okay... how about later? If mobs come we'll die."
NPC Grian debated this for a while. "VERY WELL I WILL BUILD A RUSTIC HOUSE"
EX nodded and watched as NPC Grian moved to start building and stared as he glided across the ground, shoulders bouncing all the while.
He stood there for a while before sighing. "What is this server anymore?" He muttered, following the robot, watching as it worked away.
