Author's Note: This oneshot took way longer to do than normal. But, I managed to get it to the point where I'm satisfied with it.

 Enjoy.

 BigB's POV:

 Slowly, and awkwardly, Martyn readjusted his grip around my neck. Despite the pain that was  crawling up my legs and towards my chest, Martyn had to come first.

 " Are you sure you can handle this, B?" Netty questioned as she let out a shaky breath. I nodded my head. Despite my ears being clogged up and my head pounding from pain, I still needed to help my friend.

 " W-Where are we heading?" I coughed.

 " Did you forget?" Netty questioned as she led the way through the portal network and towards a pink portal. 

 Honestly, I did forget. 

From the sudden pain in my chest to Martyn's worsening condition, it's been a hard couple of hours.

 " M-Maybe?" I mumbled as a cough escaped from me. Quickly, I took in and released a deep breath before Netty turned to face me.

 The hybrid's ears lowered as she slowly walked over to me. Occasionally, the fur on her tail would stand up as her body tensed up. Slowly, she looked up until she was looking into my eyes. 

 " Your eyes are turning purple..." Netty mumbled. I looked down at her and frowned:

 Netty's eyes were also turning more and more purple.

 " S-So's yo- GAH!" 

 A stabbing pain in my leg caused it to buckle. Quickly, Netty grabbed at me as her ears went back. The hybrid gave me a concerned look.

 Martyn let out a spooked noise and briefly twitched. My entire body was quivering as I took in a shaky breath.

 " A-Are you sure you can carry him?" Netty questioned as I nodded, " J-Just take us where we're g-going." I forced out. As Netty nodded and continued to lead the way, Martyn let out a soft grumble.

 My body twitched again as I glanced back in order to look at Martyn; a small frown was on the hybrid's face.

 The deer hybrid nuzzled his head against my neck as some squeezed out tears landed on my bare neck. I flinched slightly as my body shivered. Martyn started mumbling strained, pained noises into my ears as the three of us reached the pink portal.

 As we passed through the portal, a worried Ren greeted us on the other side. Ren's ears and tail were lowered as he looked at the semi-conscious Martyn on my back.

 " He's almost as bad as Grian..." Ren whispered as he put his hand against Martyn's face causing the hybrid to twitch slightly. A low groan escaped from Martyn as he once again snuggled further into me.

 Ren's ears twitched, " C-Come on..." he yawned, " L-Let's get him to Boatem." he motioned with his clawed hand. The two of us nodded as we followed Ren through another portal. After a lot of walking through the Nether, we reached the village.

 At this rate, it felt like my legs were going to give out at any second. 

 Hopefully, I can last just a bit longer....

 My entire body was shaking as Ren led us into a big alleyway within a cave and into giant, bank-like building in the back. As we passed through the doorway of the build, Ren took Martyn off my back causing the deer hybrid to quietly squeak and wiggle.

 " Stop wiggling Martyn.." Ren whispered as he moved Martyn until he was being carried bridal style. Martyn's ears twitched as he let out a soft wheeze. Slowly, Martyn laid his head against Ren's chest.

 Ren continued to lead us into a small room with multiple beds laid out. Mumbo and Impulse were working together on potions at the far end of the room.

 " I-I'm back. Netty and the others made it okay." Ren spoke out as he walked to a bed. Mumbo and Impulse both gave a thumbs up as Ren simply shook his head. The hybrid sighed as he laid Martyn down onto his back.

 Sighing myself, I rubbed at my arms then gently placed two fingers against my neck.

 Thump.

 Thumpthump.

 Thump.

 Thumpthumpthump.

 I grimaced.

 My pulse was beating so intensely that it felt like it was going to burst out of my neck and attack my finger.

 I blinked a couple of times as I lowered my arms to my sides. Slowly, I exhaled a pained, rugged breath.

 Now that Martyn was safe and I wasn't moving anymore, my legs felt like it was made out of only sticks and glue. Maybe I should sit down? 

 I looked over at Netty as she moved over to Martyn's bed. Netty's tail swished as she gently sat herself down on his bedside.

 " What do you th-" Netty's strained words began to drift in and out of my ears. I blinked a couple of times, " -e'll be okay?"

 Painfully, and with my joints making sounds that were reminiscent of the popping of bubble wrap,  I moved over to the wall an-

 SMACK!

 " GAH!"

 I slammed onto the floor before even reaching the wall. A horrible ringing shook my skull as I tried sit up; But, my legs refused to move.

 " !!! "

 I could hear the concerned words of the others, including Mumbo and Impulse, buzzing around me as I laid there. Slowly, Ren hooked his hands and arms around mine and gently lifted me back up.

 My head was pounding as I blinked to try and get rid of the swirling blurriness that crowded the edges of my vision. Carefully, Ren dragged me over to the bed opposite of Martyn and helped me lay down on it.

 Groggily, I looked around the rest of the room as Ren began to look my legs, sides, chest, and head for injuries.

 " B-BigB are you alright? Why is this happening?" Ren's voice finally broke its way through the ringing of my ears. I let out a soft grumble as the muscles in my arms twitched.

 " Calm down, Ren... We'll figure it out...." Mumbo yawned as a hand touched my neck followed by a small, pokey needle and a bandage afterwards. Even with the sharp pain, I couldn't actually move away from it.

 I forced out a small grumble as Ren turned away from Mumbo in order to look at me. I glanced up at him and tried to talk.

 " .....? "

 Why can't I talk all of a sudden? Was the wind taken out of me that badly?

 Ren frowned as his ears twitched. 

 " We'll figure this out, BigB...." Ren attempted to smile, " We'll fix you, Pearl, Martyn, and Grian.."

 I blinked, on account of that being the only thing I could do, and stared at Ren as he gently patted my head.

 " Hmmph...." I managed to force out a soft growl.

 " Honestly, I'm glad that I laid you down on your back and sat you up." Ren smiled as he soon left to go check Martyn.  

 I let out a soft sigh as I looked across the room towards Martyn's bed and the bundled up figure in the bed beside his. The bed was surrounded by many different machines, IVs, and breathing apparatuses. Internally, I grimaced.

 Who's in such a horrible state? 

 Struggling, I looked to my right and just barely spotted Pearl sitting in bed. The hermit's arms was in a sling, and a potion bottle was in her hand.

 Then, I looked back towards the bed. Ren followed my gaze as his ears lowered.

 " Grian... Grian's probably doing the worse of all of you..." Ren pulled at the collar of his shirt, " Mumbo found him, and his skin's covered in a weird, purple substance." 

 A purple substance? 

 The only thing that could relate to the color purple is... 

 The Watchers.

  Ren's ears twitched as his ears perked up. The hybrid looked up and moved away from the bed.

 Then, Mumbo moved into my line of sight with a potion in his hand. I kept staring at him as he gently helped me drink the cold potion. 

 " What does that do?" Ren questioned as Mumbo looked back at him. Mumbo ran a hand through his messy head of hair. The hermit coughed, " P-Part healing... P-Par-"

 As Mumbo's words left his mouth, my eyes began to... to close as the potion began to take.... to take........
