Jevin hasn't been feeling the same ever since he had a very eeiry dream encounter with XenoVoid.

=

With effort, iJevin forced his heavy eyelids open. He felt awkwardly groggy- like- way more than usual.

Letting out a quiet groan to himself, Jevin forced himself to sit up. He still had a ton of things to do, especially since they had transferred to a brand new server.

Rubbing the back of his neck with his hand, Jevin brought himself to rise from his bed and get onto his feet.

He always hated starting from scratch, but that's how he and the others rolled, so there was no point in trying to change that now.

"Jevin! Are you awake yet?"

Jolting at the sudden break of silence he had been enjoying, the slime hermit brought his hands up to his head and covered his ears.

Fuck. He had forgotten that he told Wels, xB, and Hypno that he would meet them in one of the nearby oak forests and gather resources with them.

Straining his eyes, they traveled back behind him just as Hypnotized rounded the stone wall corner.

The black bandana wearing hermit was wearing a mildly neutral expression, but his eyes were wide and awake.

"Jev? What's taking you so- Agh!?"

iJevin blinked once, slowly bringing his hands down and away from his ears and turning to face the other. "Christ Hypno, can you please not shout? I'm right here."

Hypnotized had gone from calm to shocked in an instant. He stood a ways from the slime. "S-Sorry, it's just that- aren't you normally blue?" He asked, tripping over some of his words.

Jev blinked, squinting at his server mate as if he had gone mad. "Uh, did you hit your head or something?"

The two fell into silence as they just stared at each other. One thinking the other was mad and the other showing nervousness at the prolonged eye contact.

"Hey, you both alright?"

Shaking his head and bringing himself away from Hypno's worried and nervous stare, iJevin looked just in time to see both Wels and xB round the corner.

Jevin locked eyes with Wels for a split second.

"By gods, Jev? Are you alright?" Wels finally asked, stepping past xB and Hypno so he was now the closest.

xB nodded, stepping into sight again. "Yeah, you're a little green."

Jev frowned, starting to become frustrated. He always knew that he was one to have a short fuse, but right now he was being tested. "Why do you keep asking me that? First it was Hypno and now you both?"

Wels simply returned the frown at iJevin and seized his arm. "Have you yet to notice Jev?"

Jevin tensed and went to rip his arm away from the Aether angel's grip but he stopped when he finally saw what the others were talking about.

With the slime still not yet fully dressed- simply in a white t-shirt and black sweatpants-, it was so stupidly obvious now. Instead of the nice sea blue that he normally had for a color for his entire identity, he was this sickly gross green color.

Now that he was aware of what the other three were talking about, iJevin could only draw blanks in his mind.

"What the hell?" The now green slime exclaimed.

iJevin looked up at Wels, xB and Hypno who were all now crowing around him. The three were now no longer standing still, they appeared to now be blurring together and fading in and out of the surrounding area.

"Jevin?"

The slime shook his head, staring off in front of him- which was directly at Wels.

Then without knowing it, iJevin fell forward and into the Aether angel that was standing in front of him.

"Jevin!"

The world became muffled before it went quiet.

"Xeno? What are you doing here?" The blue slime questioned, taking his hands out of his hoodie pockets as he rose back to his feet and stepped a couple blocks away from the green pool of water he had found.

It was dark out, so to see his Admin's supposedly evil counter part approach him JoJo style was something he wasn't ever really gonna see as casual.

The twin walked up to the hermit member. "Can't I visit some of my server mates?"

iJevin cocked an eyebrow up, shooting Xeno with a skeptical look. "At one am?"

Xeno offered a smirk, bringing his hands up to his head and removing his red helmet. "I mean, you are the one walking around at this time aren't you?"

Jevin simply sighed and shook his head. "Come on, what's really your reason for coming to me?"

Xeno let out a light scoff before making his helmet disappear and running a hand through his white hair. "An energy disturbance. One that Xisuma has yet to get to. I'm doing him a favor."

Xeno looked past the blue slime at to the green pool of water that was behind him. "But you got to it before I did."

Jevin wasn't sure whether to let his guard down or not. But since Xeno hadn't caused too much trouble for them for the last handful of seasons he supposed that the twin was alright- for now.

Drawing in a deep breath, iJevin turned his head away from Xeno and to the green water. "So, what even is this thing? Do you know?"

Xeno stepped up to iJevin, standing at his side despite the blue slime squirming at the action. "I only know a little bit about this thing, but not much. Though I have heard that it wouldn't be wise to take a swim."

iJevin swallowed. "What happens if you do?" Turning his eyes down to the green water, Jevin suddenly felt a huge warning flag go up in his gut as visibility to the bottom of the green pool was not possible.

Xeno let out a hum of thought. "I'm not sure what would happen. How about we find out?"

iJevin felt his stomach drop.

In an instant, the blue slime had his iron sword in his dominant hand. He turned on his heel to face Xeno, but the twin was already turned toward him.

With high speed, Xeno was already on the shorter player- having seized the lower part of his forearm.

The two struggled with each other, both of them trying to gain the upper hand in their tussle.

"Xeno," iJevin strained, doing his best to prevent from sliding by planting his feet firmly on the ground. "What the actual hell!? I thought you were over the bad guy stuff!"

Xeno gave a dark chuckle, pushing against Jevin's strong standing stance with all his might. "Having you heard, Jev?" He questioned, taunting the nickname only Wels could use. "Bad was always the new good."

iJevin couldn't exactly process what happened next. He felt his feet leave the ground and he felt himself fall.

Then he was submerged underneath unfamiliar textured water and lost consciousness.
