(In this AU, Xisuma has the power to enter other servers. He finds those in need and invites them to the HC server)

When it entered Zedaph's soul, he gained it's knowledge. He learned it's past, it's plans... and he remembered it. And now he had someone to protect. But how could he save someone from dying one too many times, when they already had the most deaths on the server?

————————

Scar shivered as he entered the hall. He was in the hall of death, after all. As he approached the empty throne, the doors closed behind him. "So you came." A voice said. Behind him stood someone in a cloak, their face hidden completely. In their hand was a scythe.

"Give back the ability to update." Scar growled. (This isn't referencing anything that I know of, it's just a thing) "And give me back my vex magic."

The person in the hood shrugged. "Okay."

Scar's eyes widened in surprise. "Really?"

The person nodded. "Under one circumstance."

"..."

"If you get to ***** deaths in one server, I keep you."

"B-but, whAt?" Scar was not very good at living, so this was a hard deal.

"Take it or leave it."

"... fine." Scar turned and left, knowing that he might have just made a big mistake. Behind him, the reaper grinned. "It seems you've forgotten that I control most of the mobs (excluding vexes). Scar, you will be mine soon..." (everyone loves Scar. Including scary death dude who possessed Zedaph. But he's not in HC yet.)

Yeah, Scar messed up. The amount of mobs spawning increased tenfold, and so did his death rate. And he was reaching the limit faster than ever. In fact, he only had 5 lives left - oh never mind, 4 - plus the horde of zombies cornering his spawn point. And they stole all of Scar's gear and weapons. Oh no, 3 lives left, 2, and soon, Scar was on his last life. Desperately, he blocked off the mobs, hiding in the corner. He was at half a heart and had no gear. If he stayed there, he would die of hunger anyway. He was going to die - for good. Until he started hearing the sounds. Sounds of zombies taking damage and dying.

———————

Xisuma carefully read over the paper, making sure to get the code right. He found the paper randomly in one of his chests (totally didn't have one of my hermit crew do that) telling him to visit it. So he did, but he really didn't expect to find a horde of zombies crowding around a box. Xisuma's eyes widened with worry as he sensed a player inside. Staying out of sight, he examined the surroundings. He could faintly see someone in a cloak smiling and holding his scythe ready. Xisuma quickly looked through the code of the world and saw something that made him panic.

Death count: *****/***** Lives remaining: 1️⃣. Taking out his diamond sword, Xisuma lunges at the zombies who didn't seem to notice him. The reaper disappeared at the sight of him as Xisuma tore through the hordes of zombies with renewed strength. After lots of fighting and golden apples, almost a stack, the zombies were gone. Breathing with relief, he approached the box. "Hello?" he asked.

————————

Scar couldn't hear any more zombies. None at all. But he was too afraid to check, and his hunger bar was low. Then he heard a voice. "Hello?" Scar's heart nearly skipped a beat. Maybe someone killed the zombies? But, that made no sense. No one had access to his server! "Who are you?" Scar asked quietly. The voice paused.

"Are you okay?"

"I want to know who you are first."

"My name is Xisumavoid, aka X. I'm the admin of the Hermitcraft server. My job is to hop servers and find people to join the server."

"Oh. Okay, that makes sense."

"So, are you okay?"

"Not really. I'm at half a heart and my hunger bar is really low. I'm pretty much dead."

"Oh! I have some food you can eat!"

"... Are the zombies gone?"

"Yes! I'll break you out." The random materials he had placed around him disappeared quickly, revealing a friendly face in enchanted diamond armor holding an enchanted diamond pickaxe. It was the Xi-sumavoid (lol) person. Xisuma gave Scar some food and he regained his health, sighing with relief. Xisuma invited him to the server after looking at his amazing builds, and he accepted. X quickly forgot about what he saw, and that was the end of it.

Except it wasn't.

————————

Zedaph hated it. Why did that spirit chose him as a host? Why not someone who knew how to react? Zed also hated how his body was used. Used to examine the hermits of the server, used to see how willing they were to die. And they were quite willing. Which meant Scar might have been too, which would count as easy extra deaths to add to the death counter. And Zed knew this now. He had so much information that he didn't know what to do with. Should he say something? But what if Death got mad at him?

Should he tell X first?

Should he tell Tango and Impulse first?

Should he remind Scar first?

Should he stay silent or try to handle the situation himself?

(I've been feeling kind of down recently, maybe some niceness could help? Maybe?)

(Nevermind, no one cares anyway. Anyway, you guys can decide what happens, but I may or may not have a personal preference. Who can guess it?)

(Also, remind me to add Keralis and Bdubs to the crew!)
