Chapter Warnings: None!

------------------------------------

POV: Clover 

Frost and I didnt leave. We probably should have. 

Walking back into the bushes, the ones that totally had the portal, Frost and I stopped in the more dense part of the undergrowth. 

"We can't just leave," I hissed. It was unfair that we had to just go home. 

"I agree. How about we just camp out here? The portal will close if we go back through..." 

"Yeah... Maybe Jellie can help?" I suggested, tail flicking. We were really lucky in finding Jellie. She was super helpful, despite not knowing Viper very well at all. 

Frost nodded in agreement, and without a word, headed deeper into the jungle. 

I followed. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------

(Hope you enjoyed Clovers very short segment uwu. I kept the cats for a reason mwahhaa...)

------------------------------------------------------------------

Third Person POV:

The two cats had visited Jellie not long after they saw Viper get up and leave. From this they had obtained three important pieces of information. 

One being that Viper did indeed cause a lot of trouble, the second being that they had a leader. From what Jellie told them, his name was XisumaVoid. Or Xisuma for short. Or just X. The third, that there were magical portals in the world that could take them to a place called the Nether.

So, Clover being who she was, decided that they were going to go find Xisuma. And Frost, not wanting to let the young she-cat out on her own, tagged along. 

Jellie said that his base, from what she had heard, was very bee-based. So they had that to go off of. 

They stepped in and out of shining portals all afternoon, the hot bedrock burning their paws. Finally, stepping through another portal, they emerged in a lush green jungle, on a honeycomb-like platform (i dont watch X, so idk what his Nether portal looks like lol), so that was a start. Leaping on the tree tops, they got a better view of the base, which was definitely bee inspired. 

They wandered for a very long time inside the buildings, searching for the yellow-armored hermit Jellie had described. Finally, in a room with many monitors and computers, they found Xisuma. He had a pair of earbuds in under his helmet, as he didn't want to take it off.

(And this is where i got distracted and totally forgot what was gonna happen, so bleh.)

Clover and Frost just watched, for minutes. He was so glued to his work, it was like not even an explosion couldn't distract him. 

"Wait, are we just gonna sit here and stare at him?" Clover asked quietly, silently walking closer to the hermit. 

"Well, I dont really know what to do," Frost admitted, joining Clover a few feet away from X. She hissed, flicking her tail over to a thin wire under the table where he worked, connecting something you they couldn't see to a computer. Frost nodded, and Clover crouched, stalking over to the wire like it was a mouse. Then she pounced and swiftly bit it, like you would do if you were hunting. 

One by one, the computers slowly shut down, and Xisuma shot out of his seat with an angered shout. He began scrolling through the one computer that hadn't been cut off, which seemed to be the main one. 

Clover and Frost took the time to quickly but quietly run out of the room, but stayed at the door. After a few more minutes and many more confused murmurs and grumbled from Xisuma, he finally marched out the door, only to see the two cats. His gaze softened at the sight of them, but was still angered. 

"What are you two doing here?" He asked the two, totally oblivious to the fact that they understood him. 

"Well, we're here to rescue Viper, dummy-" Clover mewed. 

"We know she's here, so dont deny it." Frost agreed. 

Xisuma just stared at the two, his expression slightly confused. 

"We dont see breeds like you two here... Wait, where'd you get that bandanna, little one?" He asked Frost, scooping the male up. Frost mewed a "Its from Viper, how else do you think I got it?" and leapt out of X's light grasp. The room was silent for a few moments, while X pondered what to do. 

"Scar loves cats, im sure he can take care of you two while I fix my computers." 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

POV: Scar

"Yeah, i'll take care of them, X, dont worry about it," I reassured the admin. Apparently his computers shut down and he found two cats, and not the type that we usually found here in HermitCraft. 

"Thanks, Scar. I'll come drop them off." 

"Alright." 

I hung up, powering off my phone and looking down at Jellie, who was curled up on my lap. 

"Do you want siblings?" I asked her, stroking her back. 

"I dont know," She mewed. (yes, scar can talk to jellie uwu)

A couple minutes later, the yellow-armored admin arrived. He did indeed have two cats, one white with ginger features and green eyes, like me, and one gray with sky blue eyes and a bandanna. 

"You sure you can take care of them?" The admin asked, setting the two down, who immidetly padded over to Jellie. 

"Im sure," I reassured him with a nod. "By the way, did you give the gray one that bandanna?" 

He shook his head. "Nope. He came with it." 

"Oh... Well, thanks, X!" 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Third Person POV:

Scar had gone to show the two new cats to Viper to see if he could watch them when he left to go work on a project. 

"Hey Viper!" He greeted her, holding the two cats. 

"Hey Scar, what do ya- Oh my word..." Her eyes widened when she saw the two naughty cats. "Scar, where did you find them?!" 

"Hm? X found them," He explained as he set the two down. They rushed to Viper, which he found a bit strange. 

"X found them?! What were you two doing there?!" She exclaimed, looking down at her two cats.

The gray tom mewed something, and she looked at Scar, her gaze apologetic. 

"Sorry if these two caused any trouble. They're mine," She explained, pointing down to Clover. "This is Clover, and this is Frost. They came in earlier and had a talk with Jellie, trying to find me." She looked at Frost and Clover with a stern expression. "They didn't go home like I told them to." 

Scar nodded. "So thats why he came in with the bandanna." 

Clover mewed something, and in response, so did Frost. 

"You two what?! You cant just do that!" She told them in an angered tone, looking back up to Scar. "Im really, really sorry if these two actually wrecked Xisuma's computers, like they said they did." She was cut off by Clover meowing something, and sighed. "No, the hermits didn't capture me, and no, his name isnt Shooma." 

"Shooma?" Scar laughed, looking curiously at the two felines. 

"This little lady thinks shes funny," Viper rolled her eyes, pointing to Clover.  "But I suppose I can say the same about myself." 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

POV: Xisuma

My phone ringing, I sighed and crawled out from under the table, where I was trying to fix the cables. Turns out something bit through one of them and powered off all the monitors and computers.

I picked up my communicator, checking to see who the call was from. Ah, Scar. 

I hit 'accept' and was greeted by a; "Hey, X," Like always. 

"Hi Scar, what do you need?"

"Turns out the two little rascals are Vipers," He laughed. "And that they were the ones that might have shut off all of your stuff." 

So thats why they were in my base. And why they didnt look like the breeds we get in the villages here. 

Something must have been going on, because there were a lot of meows and muffled talking. "Scar, give me the phone-" It was muffled, but enough so I could hear it. 

"Oh, hiya X," Came the voice of Viper, who was once again cut off by a series of meows. "No, Clover, for the last time! His name isnt Shooma, get over it!"

I laughed, and I heard Scar do the same, but Viper just sighed. 

"Anyway, Shoo- X, just wanted to apologize for these two. Scar, what are you laughing at? No, I didnt- Clover! Hush!" Now she could be heard laughing. 

"Its alright," I tell her, still laughing. "It's fixable."

"Thanks, Shooma."

And with that, she hung up.
