This update doesn't affect me because I DON'T FOLLOW THE ACTUAL PLOT OF HERMITCRAFT :D

'We must strike back against the treasonous soup group!' Ren declared at the start of the next meeting. Bdubs looked over sharply as he banged on hand on the table. No one mentioned his new warden appearance - skulk tentacles extending by his ears, black covered his face and eyes, blinding him as predicted. His increased height and muscles were clearly noticeable and in any other circumstance he'd been gloating about it to Scar. Instead he stayed mostly silent. 'Our plan must continue faster!'

'My king, this is still a very bad idea.' Replied Cleo, barely holding any sense of politeness. 'I'm not getting killed just so you can secure a throne I don't even believe in while spreading a mistrust and probably death everywhere.'

'SILENCE, LADY CLEO!' She recoiled at his yell. Bdubs flinched. Martyn looked over, even more concern filling him. 'This is the way it shall be done it is thusly decreed!'

'Scar tried to kill me.' Retorted Cub. 'You and Scar fought each other. Pearl's gone mad.'

'Five-AM mode.' Scar corrected.

'...No one's seen Doc, Jevin's so terrified he'll kill someone so decided to keep the obsidian walls in his base, xB won't go near water under any circumstances, Xisuma explicitly said multiple times we shouldn't mess with this...'

'SIR CUBALOT IF YOU CONTINUE YOU'LL BE NEXT AND I'LL FIND A SILVERFISH OR ENDERMITE TO TURN YOU INTO!' 

'Awww... I thought you wanted him to be a vex so we can bring back the convex and wreck havoc across-.' 

'ENOUGH!' 

Even Scar seemed shocked by Cub's outburst. Ren glared over, Bdubs began to growl, 'looking' straight at him. 

'I quit the King's Court!' 

'Sir Cubalot you dare to-'

'Oh f**k off Ren!' Cub turned and jumped from the window, flying away as fast as he could, pursued by Scar.

'Well. That seems pretty decisive.' Cleo crossed her arms. 'We don't do it or we leave.' 

'If you're not for me you're against me and I will kill you.'

'You're a s*** king, Ren.' 

Ren's expression changed from anger to sheer fury as he slowly stood up. Cleo didn't even flinch. Joe and Iskall exchanged a glance. 

And then he attacked.

Cleo hit the ground as Ren punched her. Joe drew a sword. 

'Back off, Ren.' For such a quiet hermit, Joe was remarkably terrifying when upset. 'Now.' 

'What was that?' The quietness in Ren's voice only made him angrier.

'I SAID BACK OFF!' 

With a snarl, Bdubs  attacked, pinpointing Joe's exact location and shoving him against the wall. Martyn finally ran in to help, but was blocked by Ren's arm, yelling for him to stop but getting nowhere as he too was punched brutally out the way, hitting the floor head first. Iskall got to his feet, ready to flee.

'I don't...' He started. 'I don't know what you've done to Ren but you're going to get away from my friends or I kill you.' 

'Yeah.' Agreed Cleo, still lying on the floor in pain. Joe was starting to choke under Bdubs's grip around his neck, kicking back, terror growing with each moment.

'Let him go!' Yelled Martyn, scrambling to his feet. 'Now!'

Joe slumped unconscious before the demand could be fulfilled, and even any threats were stopped by Cleo hurling herself at Bdubs. Joe collapsed to the floor. Ren turned on Martyn again, as Iskall tried to pin the half-warden, thwarted by the terrifying strength and sent reeling. 

'You're going to pay for this you f***ing s*** d***...'

'Language, Cleo.' Replied Ren with a grin.

'I'm going to kill you, Bdubs. I'm going to kill you, and break your legs, and I don't care that you're half warden, I'm going to end your life.' 

Bdubs replied by shoving her away and then hitting her to the ground. With a crack she landed. Iskall backed away as he turned on him too, and promptly defenestrated himself, leaving only Martyn to defend himself.

'Calm down, Bdubs. I've done nothing wrong.' He stepped back as Ren and Bdubs both turned to face him. 

'Don't worry, dude. If you do what I say he won't hurt you. Is that a deal?' Knowing there was no other option, trapped in the corner by the two hybrids. Martyn swallowed, and agreed. 

'What do you want?'

'I want you to go outside, find a creeper, and let it blow you up. I mean, it's a lot better than me dragging you screaming to the warden, isn't it?' The voice of the king Ren was putting on disappeared to just a cold, quiet threat. Somehow it was even more terrifying. 

'Sure. Yeah. I'll... do that.' 

'Good. I knew you'd see sense eventually dude.' Ren's smile sent a shiver down Martyn's back and he stayed looking at the king as he side-stepped to the window and flew out, leaving Bdubs and Ren waiting for a surprisingly short amount of time before...

Inthelittlewood was blown up by creeper

Cleo groaned as she woke up, her head exploded into pieces as she lay, trying to gain some bearings. But there were no buildings, just untouched minecraft woodland. And then they realised someone was holding her back. Bdubs, holding the end of the long string tied around her hands. Cleo scrambled to her feet, trying not to fall over. Ahead of her, Ren was standing, one arm around the shoulder of Joe, right in front of a cave echoing with a constant hissing of spiders. 

'What are you doing.' She growled. Bdubs yanked her back.

'Making Joe join us.'

'I swear to notch if you kill him I'll break your legs.' She snarled. Ren's ear twitched but there was no other movement.

It was then that she saw Martyn standing a little way back, camouflaged perfectly against the green. His long ears were mottled green, the colour spreading across a third of his face. Pure black eyes, and his mouth drawn into a constant frown. He'd died too, it appeared. To a creeper. 

Joehillssays was slain by spider escaping RentheKing

'NO!' Cleo screamed. Bdubs let out a growl, and she tried to calm herself down. 'You're going to pay for this so badly, Ren.'

'Is this before or after I kill you or not?' There was nothing in sight that would kill her except...

Martyn. And standing next to him was the skeleton he'd lured over. So that's why she hadn't seen him.

The first arrow hit Bdubs, but after that they were solely fixed on her. It was long, painful, and full of screaming and swearing but eventually the message appeared in chat.

Zombiecleo was shot by skeleton

Three more hybrids! And all of them have accompanying rubbish deaths!
