"Well, let's compile a list and get started on packing."

**

It had been a few days after their meeting. They had the plan down, and Doc, Xander and Keralis were going to ask their friends if they wanted to join.

Most of them, like Cleo Grian Iskall and Wels said yes. The others were more iffy, but agreed, like Joe Jevin and Python. They all were instructed to pack essentials and say they were going to a sleepover at Docs or Xanders place.

Once the night arrived, they slipped into the alleyway that EX lived in, him being dubbed the leader of the joined run. EX had an admin menu, and when asked why, he would just say "I stole it from my old man when he was asleep."

The admin menu was powerful. You could create new worlds and end them just as fast. You could go to the hub world if you wanted. You could make yourself fly or kill yourself permanently. It was truely a threat if it was in the wrong hands.

"Ready? I'm gonna make us all go to the hub world and you're gonna need to follow me. I made a special place for us to hide in there." The group nodded. Everyone was prepared for the backlash they would receive and the hatred from the kingdom, but they didn't care.

EX put out his hand, the others grabbing is arm, once each got ahold of it they closed their eyes as he pressed the button to go to the hub world.

There was quite a bit of chatter in this world, much more than theirs, definantly. The area was massive, many people scurrying about and teleporting to different worlds. The teens looked at as much as they could, surprised and amazed.

"Hey, ready to see the world I got?" Everyone lined up like ducks and followed the older teen, who lead them to a door that had a lock on it. He pulled a key out of his pocket, "get in."

It felt like a portal. You fizzed out of the world and into a different part, it felt funny to everyone (unless they did it multiple times a day as routine). The world formed around them as they stepped out of the portal that took them, it was made out of a pure white block they haven't seen before, inbetween the blocks was a blueish hue, almost like the end portals or the nethers.

EX was the last in, and as soon as everyone was a little farther from the portal, since he didn't want to hurt them, he knocked a block off of the portal, it fell apart like a house of cards. Joe approached his side, staring at the blocks that had tumbled "Why'd you do that?"

"To keep us safe. It destroyed the iron door that held the entrance, which means the iron door also dissapeared. We'll be safe for a while." EX smiled, ruffling Joe's hair. "I built some houses, if you couldn't see them."

"How did you build them?" Joe looked at the big houses that could fit more than everyone that's there.

"I asked one of my friends in the hub for a little help." EX winked, "we should probably get indoors, the nasties are gonna come soon."

It had been a few weeks since they moved there, everyone quickly learning how to build and survive(with the help of EX, of course,) and everything was going to plan. Xander changed his name to Xisuma, wanting to leave the prince name behind him.

Things continued to go well for the next few weeks. Eventually, the first person died on the server. EX thought nothing of it, told them it was a normal thing to die, and that she could respawn.

She did respawn, but they didn't expect how it turned out. She was eaten by a zombie, and had died and turned into one. But she didn't exactly know it, other than her vision changing to only see four colours and the gaping hole in her side from where she was bitten.

They all either threw up from the bones and skin hanging loose, or thought it looked cool. Then there was Joe, who shrugged it off and told her the upsides when she was sad about it. "At least the mean mobs will leave you alone!" "You can't starve to death anymore!" "You'll be able to hang out with other zombies and can't get killed from them!"

Everyone was happy. Nobody would talk about their old 'home' to anyone, to avoid bad memories. They didn't need to talk about it anyway. They were happy how they were now.
