may i request some grian and zedaph? i have nothing else in mind except maybe them causing some kind of chaos

Hell yeah Grian and Zedaph, one of my favourite HC duos!

...

Zedaph has been watching Toon Towers for the last hour, just waiting for Tango to leave and go elsewhere. From his vantage point on the roof of one of the Aquetown buildings, he has a perfect view of Tango working on changing the sign on the building from False’s name back to the word Toon.

“Whatcha doing?” comes a voice suddenly from behind him.

Zedaph jerks and almost falls right off the roof. “Goodness-!” He catches himself before he inadvertently swears.

Grian giggles. “Hi, Zedaph. Whatcha doing up here?”

“I could ask you the same question!”

“I’m trying to find a way to buy that building there.” Grian indicates the taller granite skyscraper. “I was looking around it when I spotted you up here and decided to come see what you’re doing. From your reaction just now, I’m guessing you’re up to no good.”

“Not yet, I’m not,” Zedaph protests. “Tango won’t leave his base long enough for me to do anything.”

“Tango’s your target, huh?” Grian joins Zedaph on the edge of the roof. “Why?”

“Because he was directly responsible for making me homeless for ten seconds. I wanna get him back.”

Grian snickers. “Is this about the zoucher?”

“Of course it is,” replies Zedaph, hiding a grin. “Tango’s my best friend but that doesn’t mean I can’t plan my crippling revenge against him.”

“Heck yeah. Need any help?”

Zedaph glances at him. “Really? You want to help prank the guy who helped get you your base back?”

Grian shrugs, grinning. “I mean, yeah. I’m always up for shenanigans, any time, place, or person.”

“Well, I’d definitely welcome your input. I was thinking of sneaking in and sticking Zedaph heads everywhere.”

“Hmm…” Grian considers this for a moment. “Good idea, but not big enough. You want Tango to know who’s responsible, yeah?”

Zedaph nods. “Absolutely.”

“Check out what he’s doing right now.”

Zedaph looks over at Toon Towers. “He’s still changing the sign on his base.”

When Zedaph looks back at Grian, he finds a mischievous grin on his friend’s face. “Exactly. What better way of making a statement than plastering your face over the front of his tower? I doubt he’ll want to remove it straight away after spending all that work redoing it in the first place, so it’ll stay up for several hours at least, constantly reminding him of his crimes. Whatcha think?”

It’s as if Zedaph is seeing Grian in a new light. He can’t believe there’s someone other than Tango or Impulse on the server who thinks the way he does and seems to understand him on an incredible level. More to the point, he can’t believe such a person exists AND they’ve never collaborated on a prank like this before.

“Grian, I think you’re a genius,” he says.

Grian gives a pleased grin. “Good, me too. Now, while Tango’s finishing up the sign, let’s go get our materials. When we get back, he should be done.”

…

Sure enough, when the two fly back to Aquetown with two shulker boxes full of building materials, they find the Toon Towers sign finished and Tango nowhere in sight.

“Ah, perfect!” Grian grins. “Now’s our chance. Did you bring your mask?”

“Absolutely did. Do we put them on now?”

“Nah, only if Tango catches us. Don’t think he will, though; it’s getting dark. Now, let’s get over there.”

The two fly over to Toon Towers and land neatly on the sign. Working in tandem, they start creating a giant replica of Zedaph’s face over the sign that Tango has just finished. As they work, the two chat about their base swap and how relieved they are to be back in their own base again.

“I still can’t believe Tango gave you that zoucher,” Zedaph snickers. “He really will go to any length to mess with me. Honestly though, I can’t say I wouldn’t do the same if the roles were reversed.”

“Well, he didn’t give it to me for free,” Grian says, grinning. “I had to give him an IOU.”

“Really? Well, that’s gonna come back to bite you.”

“Oh definitely. But hey, Tango’s a pretty fun guy, so we’ll see what happens.”

“Tango’s very fun but he’s also very devious. He’s gonna use it to either ask for some help on a redstone project or do something to you that’ll result in horrific embarrassment or death. Or both.”

Grian laughs. “Wonderful. Can’t wait.”

After about half an hour, the two are just finishing up when they hear a redstone door slide open.

“Uh oh!” Zedaph yelps. “Time to go!”

“HEY!”

“Too late,” snickers Grian.

Zedaph quickly ties on his pink mask as Grian glances down and finds Tango on the ground looking up at them, hands on his hips. “What are you two doing up there?!” he yells. “Wait - what did you do to my sign?!”

Grian quickly slips the chicken mask over his face. “We are the deliverers of justice! Poultry Man and Worm Man!”

Zedaph is only just able to stifle his laughter. “Yes, we have corrected an injustice and now we must away!”

Immediately, Grian jumps off the building and activates his elytra. Zedaph jumps off after him but tosses an ender pearl towards Aquetown. He teleports and crashes to the ground in a heap just outside the barber shop.

A second later, Grian lands next to him and the two set off running. They tumble into the granite-coloured skyscraper and collapse on the ground, neither of them able to breathe properly through their laughter and exertion.

Just as their laughter is dying down, Zedaph glances at Grian. “I didn’t know you were Poultry Man.”

This sets off Grian laughing again and after a moment, Zedaph joins in.

“Who knew we’d have badly-concealed animal-themed superhero alter egos in common,” Grian giggles.

Zedaph pretends to be affronted. “Badly concealed? Badly concealed?! I’ll have you know I’m perfectly below average at concealing my identity, thank you.”

“Oh, man.” Grian takes a few deep breaths to calm his breathing, wiping his tears of laughter away. “I’m crying, dude. That was the best thing I’ve done in so long. Thanks so much for letting me be part of it.”

“No, I should be thanking you! My revenge would’ve been so dull without you. Remember, my original plan was just to walk in and stick a few Zedaph heads to the walls. Tango’s DEFINITELY gonna remember this.”

“Dude, I’M gonna remember this. We really need to team up more often.”

“Don’t you mean Worm Man and Poultry Man need to team up more often?” asks Zedaph innocently.

This causes Grian to giggle again. “Ohh, yeahhh, definitely. Cuz, I mean, who KNOWS who those two might really be. Now that’s a duo of superheroes who really know how to hide their identities.”

Zedaph grins at his new partner in crime. “Oh, yes, a hundred percent agreed. Perhaps they should remove their masks now, to make sure their identities remain secret.”

“Ah yeah, you’re right.”

The two simultaneously take off their masks.

“Um�� Grian?” Zedaph stares down at the mask in his hands. “We forgot our shulker boxes.”

Grian pauses. “Oh. Shoot. Do you think Tango’s in any mood to scrape them off the side of his sign right now?”

“I mean… no,” Zedaph responds. “Is there anything in them you would mind losing?”

“Nah, not really. Tango’s welcome to them, honestly.”

A pause follows his words.

“You wanna go back out there in costume and take them back?” Zedaph asks.

Grian grins mischievously at him. “I thought you’d never ask.”
