Lewis and Simon, the smart leader and the slow sidekick.
The two friends had been together since the start of the Minecraft game, back when their roles were reversed.
Once upon a time, Lewis had no idea what he was doing, and Simon was a know-it-all, as the updates layered up and Simon fell behind on his Minecraft homework, Lewis gradually proved further and further why he was the head of the Yogscast through his knowledge, wisdom, and leadership.
Today, they were working at Site Bee, like every day, with Duncan, like almost every day, Lewis sometimes worked deep into the night, clicking away adjustments to the machinery and going through the mods and learning everything he could about each and every one of them.
Simon rarely stayed up past eleven, the lazy dwarf jumped around the base all day trying to find something to do, and often succeeding to annoy Duncan, the slightly arrogant scientist easily dismissed Simon with a reciting of a random complex scientific phrase, the presence of complex knowledge scared Simon, making run away, sometimes even crying.
The comrades were revered by their fellows for their power.
"Ugh, the theory of time in relative ratios to the volume of space is often referred to as-" Duncan was cut off by a distressed cry of pain, which made him smile, he hadn't even recited something correct.
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH, OH MY GOD MAKE IT STOP, AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" Simon flew off with great speed, leaving Duncan alone.
Meanwhile, the man of the hour, Xephos, was crouched in the basement, praying to the stars.
He was definitely different from the others, more than just his looks, as they were all unique, but his blue eyes glowed with power.
He was a different species.
It was... strange, really, he and his oldest brother-in-arms looked human, but they weren't.
The bearded man looked at a small picture, a picture of him before the accident.
Some would say it was his old Minecraft skin, but none of the others changed their "skins", ever.
Holding his practically archaic weapon, the one that had stuck by him throughout his lives, he activated it.
The basement was filled with white light and a brief sound of lasers.
In his hand was a white lightsaber.
The memories flooded his mind, a younger version of himself, no beard, wearing the "trek" red shirt, his comrade clad in magical camouflage, the 2 of them saving the lands, it was a different time, before he met Honeydew.
"Lewis, are you down here?" Duncan must have been blind if he couldn't see the lightsaber, Lewis put it away quickly and walked into the light of the torches.
"Yeah, I was just... checking the pipes and wires. If you'll let me get back to that, that'd be great, friend." Xephos straightened his captain's jacket at that, and without waiting for a response, turned to inspect the piping and wiring.
"Oh, alright, Simon should still be huddled in a corner, if you want to make some real progress on this place, with me, feel free." the mad scientist offered, he wasn't insane at a glance, or even an introductory conversation, but anyone who knew him well knew that he was absolutely insane.
"I'll think on it." the brown haired man replied.
With that, Lalna left, leaving Xephos to his thoughts and actions.
After a minute of waiting for Lalna to be in depth with his task, Xephos set off through the façade he set up in part of the basement, zooming down the tunnel, he hit a button on a remote he had, which would activate a system made to leave a note explaining that he was "taking a long lunch break".
He thought back to his origins, he hadn't been told anything, but seeing his home planet in ruins, he vowed vengeance on various interstellar enemies, and hoped to run across another of his kind.
Right now, though, he actually was having a lunch break, with an old friend.
A friend who understood what it was like to hide amongst humans, a friend who had a whole skeleton to pick with a certain mob.
He had a lot planned for today.
I'll probably release a full timeline in the last chapter, but for now, here you go, Xephos alone.
First will be all of the Yogs alone, then interactions with a certain pair of Yogs.
Next chapter coming soon.
P1 out.
