Author's Note: A story, my friends. I don't have a special story even though today's a special day. 

Enjoy.

 Iskall's POV:

 I signed in this morning and looked around the megabase of doom. The build has slowly been getting more fleshed out, and I haven't felt any better. I had finished building one of the rooms in the roots of my building, 

 The problem is that something felt wrong. There wasn't a small shadow of a blimp above me. I looked up and confirmed what I was thinking. 

 The blimp was gone for some reason. I tilted my head in confusion. Did Ren move it somewhere else? I know he was online even earlier than I was chopping some trees but that wouldn't really deal with a blimp. 

 I yawned and sniffled until a foul, burning smell hit my nose. I'm incredibly happy that fire tick wasn't on. Maybe Mumbo had a new way of Hermit Challenges? God, I hope that wasn't the answer. I really don't want to do any insane task while Mumbo gets away scot-free as if nothing happened. 

 After I fixed my hoodie, I walked outside and looked around. 

 Fire. 

 A burning wreckage of the blimp that rammed itself into the side of the tree. Multiple barrels were scattered around with stacks upon stacks of wood spilling out of them. I looked around at the fires and shuttered. 

 Why did the blimp crash and how? I tilted my head as I approached the wreckage. Even if fire tick was off, the smoke can hurt and the fire can still cause burns. We may be using more computer-like bodies, but we all still feel pain. 

 I looked around until I saw an ear perking up from behind that large root. I turned and walked over to the root and hopped over it. My body froze as I stared at the burned body. I walked up to the body and gently scooped him up. 

 " Rendog...." I whispered as I held the body. Ren was barely awake, and he was slowly slipping into unconsciousness. I carried the hybrid inside and hurried to my bedroom. Ren's hand slowly gripped my hoodie as his ears slowly raised and lowered. 

 " I'll get you bandaged..." I whispered as I laid Ren down. After I got some medical supplies, I started to get to work on Ren's body. I cut Ren's scorched and ripped shirt off of him. The main burns were on his chest and back. Some burns were on his arms and one was on his legs. 

 I bandaged Ren and treated his burns with medicine. The hybrid was awake enough to actually slowly try and open and close his mouth. He sniffled and stuck his tongue out. I walked over to the minifridge and brought out some water. Dehydration was one of the first threats to life. 

 I walked back to Ren and sat him up. Ren sniffled as his tail faintly wagged. I put the water up to his mouth and slowly let him sip it; This caused Ren's tail to wag even more as he gave me a soft smile. 

 Ren's eyes didn't open, but he shifted closer to me. The dog hybrid's tail was slowly trying to pick up speed in wagging. Well, it tried to get faster, but it seemed like his tail was also sore from the crash. Ren put my head on my leg as his chest started to become all fuzzy with fur. I continued to watch as Ren grew a muzzle as he sniffled and continued to become more fuzzy. 

 " .....~" Ren started to lick at my hand as he finished turning into his 'weaker form'. I let out a soft sigh as Ren slowly tried to crawl into my lap once I brought my legs up. I frowned, " Ren, I need to fix your bandages..." I sighed as I got him off of my lap. 

 The hybrid whined softly as he tried to get on my lap again. I let out a sigh as I gathered more bandages and went back to rebandaging Ren up. Once I finished, I put myself completely onto the bed as Ren snuggled close to me. The dog-formed hermit curled up with his head on my lap as he stuck his tongue out. I stroked the top of his head causing him to drift off to sleep. I... I may have touched the special spot on his head, but the hermit needs to rest. 

 I found myself basically laying down on my bed now. Ren was on top of me and fast asleep. There wasn't much of a point in moving. It's like when you have a pet or a friend; it just seems rude to move when they're sleeping. I get that when you touch a hybrid's spot they won't wake up for a while, but I.... I....

 Grian:

 My wings flapped as I landed in front of Iskall's tree base. I saw that he was online, but when I tried to reach out to him, he didn't respond. My tail feathers spread out as I shuddered slightly. I looked at the burning wreckage of the LOGS blimp that Ren sent. 

 What caused this blimp to crash?

 I sighed as I walked inside and stopped when I went to Iskall's bedroom area. Iskall was fast asleep with Ren, in his dog form, nestled on top of him and licking at his Iskall's neck in his sleep.

 I smiled. I shouldn't wake these two, but I'm glad that they're alright. My wings flapped as I turned around and looked outside. I'll get Mumbo and Scar to help me take down the wreckage. We'll return it to Ren once we're finished.

 With my plan all figured out, I took off into the sky and flew towards Larry and Mumbo's megabase in order to put it into motion.
