"GUYS! GET TO THE BATTLE FIELD NOW! RIGHT NOW! WE HAVE A PROBLEM!!"
The entire server received this message from Doc and nervously, they all rushed to the place were their war had taken place. Grian had been asleep when he'd received the panicked SOS, so he was currently wearing his silk pajamas and pulling his hoodie on over his head as he ran. Mumbo was running beside him, stopping him from bumping into things as he hurriedly talked to Iskall as the two had been working on Sahara while Grian had been having a lie in. The Convex duo of Cub and Scar rode in on a flying machine, they had cake in hand and were generally not prepared for anything. The girls all ran in without any trouble, sword in hand and skidding to a halt, they were a lot less bothersome then the boys. When everyone who was online got there, they saw the problem.
Doc was singlehandedly fighting an ender dragon, the fact that the dragon was on the over world was a big worry for everyone. But at least it had no healing crystals. Swords in hand, the hermits began to assist Doc in fighting the creature. Suddenly and without warning, the dragon struck Doc. The cyborg creepers face shattered and fell away, he glared at the dragon with his circuitboards on show. That's when the hermits realised, if that was anyone else then they'd have died. An ender dragon on the over world spelled permanent death, they began to fight harder. Some ran off to get their armour on whilst others began manning the weapons.
The battle against the dragon was loud and confusing and Grian found himself simply standing back and handing spare weapons out when needed. He gazed into the mess of flashing lights and loud noises when suddenly, time stopped. In the fray of the battle, Mumbo stood alone. The mustached man was shielding himself with his sword as the ender dragon went in for the kill. "MUMBO!!" The other hermits yelled at him to move but he couldn't, the poor guy was frozen still with fear. The dragons claw was only seconds away from killing the mustached fellow. Grian saw red.
Mumbo was shaking in fear, frozen in place as the claws came increasingly closer to his face. Suddenly there was a deep growl and a huge golden wolf was blocking the ender dragons claws. The animal bit into the dragon, going through it's scales like it was butter. Mumbo stumbled backward until Cleo grabbed him and pulled him away from the fight, he sat by the side and watched this magestic creature go toe to toe with one of the most powerful creatures in the world.
The dragon struck the poor wolf with it's claws, causing three bloody scars to form on the creatures back. Both animals looked a wreck, scars and scratches coated the wolf while lots of the dragons scale had been torn out and bite marks engulfed it's being. The wolf snarled and bit the dragon again, the scaled beast roared in pain and beared its teeth. The hermits all began to fight the dragon once more as the beast attempted to bite the poor wolfs head off. Doc cut the dragon across it's cheek with his blade and hissed at it, distracting it as he leaped over its head. As the dragon lifted it's head to watch Doc, the wolf turned and tore out the dragons throat with it's teeth with a vicious snarl.
The dragon fell as Mumbo watched the wolf sculk away into the shopping district. He quickly ran to collect some scales in order to fix his shoes as they had been wearing out a little. As he was filling a shulker box with the things, he noticed that he couldn't see Grian anywhere. Stress clearly had the same though as she voiced her worries. "Has anyone seen Grian?" Doc just gestured vaguely and chuckled. "He probably went back to bed. Now how about we talk about this?" He pointed at the dead ender dragon and poked it with his trident. Mumbo nodded and sat down cross legged on a bit of cobblestone to talk.
Joe was worried about the large puppy, it had protected them like it had everything to lose. He'd seen it get wounded and that had looked pretty lethal, he wasn't just going to let their savour die. He waited until everyone was talking then he snuck away. He followed the trail of blood all the way to the water, he spotted the wolf trying to swim off in the sea. The whimpers of the puppy as salt filled it's wound combined with the circling drowned, ready to tear the poor creature limb from limb, it made Joe angry. He dived into the water, striking each downed down one by one as they turned their attention to him. He faced the wolf with a smile, of course he was scared that the wolf might attack him hut the creature had just saved them all and was also wounded. "Get out of the water, it'll just hurt you more."
The puppy did as it was told and lay on the sand, calmly displaying it's wounds to Joe. It seemed to trust him, even if it whimpered when he touched the cuts. Joe got out some banages and gently cleaned then wrapped up the pups injuries, he gave it reassurance as he did so. After a few moments of being patched up, the wolf looked Joe in the eye and yipped quietly. Joe smiled and scratched behind it's ears, watching as the wolf closed it's eyes and relaxed. "Good boy, you feeling better now buddy?"
The wolf gave a tiny nod before falling asleep, Joe smiled and stood up. He was ready to go back to the group when he saw a golden sparkle dancing around the wolf as it transformed...
Grian was beyond thankful for Joe's assistance, he would have to repay him somehow. But for now he was sleepy, he tried to tale a nap but while he was drifting off he heard his name being said. He opened on eye and looked at Joe, he was about to ask a question when some golden strands fell on his face and he realised that he'd turned back into his human form. He instantly sat up, luckily his jumper was magic and transformed with him, his silk pants were a little torn though. He smiled awkwardly at Joe, he felt super bad. "Sorry..?"
The smile that Joe gave him made Grian feel suddenly better, he didn't complain with Joe hugged him. The brunette chuckled and smiled brightly at him. "Now what are you saying sorry for? You've done nothing wrong, in fact we should be thanking you." Grian felt himself being picked up as Joe lifted him with ease, he didn't mind and just let the comfort wash over him.
