Xisuma lay under water. Deep, silent and dark. Glowing light shined through the surface. He felt every burden he ever had to carry, all the pressure he held on his shoulders, slowly fall away. For the first time in a very long time, he felt relaxed.

He emerged through the surface of the water, now standing in an empty room. He walked forwards and slowly the room turned into a hallway. After a bit of walking he finally reached the end, a door awaited him. Before he reached it a figure appeared in front of him. Wearing a green and dark grey armoured suit, a helmet of the same colour, his eyes not even visible through the visor.

"Xisuma! Welcome to the final admin resting place."

Xisuma paused and looked at the floor. He took a deep breath and spoke. "Hey, Dad."

"I've always been waiting for you. I never wanted it to be this soon though. Now come. We've got some things to sort out. You get a couple of wishes. Not to mention you've got to transfer the admin title to someone else. But after that its just party's and relaxation for eternity."

"I don't deserve this. I was a bad admin. I fought my friends."

"You did what you had to. You think I haven't done bad things? I'm the doom slayer! I've done horrible things. You know that. But do you know why I get to be here? Because sometimes, one great action is better than lots of bad ones. I might have felt nothing but anger, but deep down I just wanted to protect my world. You're here because you died a hero. You led your people, acting quickly and accordingly. You saved a lot of lives Xisuma. And you don't even realise it."

"Thanks dad. That means a lot."

"You deserve this. Now let's talk. We have things to figure out."

The room turned into a empty room with just a couch, Doom guy sat down. "The first thing is a pretty big one. It's who you want to make admin of hermitcraft. Now you have time. It's a important decision."

"I think I know." Xisuma sat down next to him. "Goodtimeswithscar."

"Excellent choice. I've always seen potential in that young man. Now you know the drill. It should come to him when he needs it."

"What else is there?"

"Well next is your reward." Doom guy spoke casually. "You get three wishes, all very childlike if you ask me but you get the gist. They just can't change the world too majorly."

Xisuma nodded. "Do I have to use all of them now?"

"Nope. You have all of eternity."

"Well I think I have an idea for a couple."

"Yes?"

"I want ZombieCleo to be normal again. To have her memories back."

"That can be done. Anything else?"

"Is it possible to change Iskall and the rest back to normal, or is that too major?"

"I think we can do that."

Xisuma felt hope flow though his blood. Doom
Guy stood there for a while, looking though a screen in his visor.

"That's weird."

Xisuma stood up. "What is?"

"I can fix Cleo just fine. But Iskall, Grian and Mumbo. It won't work. Whatever force has changed them. It's more powerful than a cosmic wish. It won't change."

Xisuma cursed himself for letting him think it could all be fixed. "I know what I want my second wish to be. I want Vintagebeef here. In the admin afterlife."

Doom guy took off his helmet and smiled at his son. "Im proud of you. You're always thinking of others."

After a moment a bright light appeared, it grew brighter and took the form of a man.

Beef looked at Xisuma and smiled. He rushed to him and hugged him.

"Im sorry." Xisuma said softly.

"Don't you dare be sorry." Beef smiled.

Xisuma looked at Doom guy. "What did you do with your wishes?"

Doom guy stood up and grinned. He clicked his fingers and a little brown rabbit ran out from behind the couch and jumped into his arms.

"Nothing much."

Rendog looked up at the purple sky. "Uh dudes? Maybe we should head back. They might need our help."

False didn't move away from the steering wheel. "We can't. It's too risky."

The waves crashed against the hull of the ship. Doc knew it would be best to distract Ren. "So Ren, what did you see when you were in your mind?"

Ren directed his eyes to the floor. "I don't know. I think it was a bunch of memories but there was one I didn't recognise."

"What were the memories?"

"The time we played cowboys, when I was a pirate. There was a couple I only peeked into like Grimdog, when I was a scientist for the mycelium resistance and that one time I was a hippie, Renbob."

He looked uneasy. "And then there's the one I didn't recognise. I was a king, I seemed to be in a war. I had Etho with me and two people I didn't recognise named Martyn and Bigb. They also mentioned someone named Skizz. We were fighting Scar, Grian, Tango and Impulse. The army I was with, we killed Impulse and Tango but..." He trailed off.

"We all died. We lost."

Doc listened carefully. "These don't sound like memories Ren. I think these are all different versions of you. Grim, Renbob, Ren the kid, Pirate Ren and this king Ren. They're all you, just different."

Ren paused. "Huh. That's weird."

False called out. "We're here."

They docked and got off the boat. There was a village with multiple people wandering around. They walked up to a young man with brown hair who was fishing.

Ren tapped him on the shoulder. "Excuse me. Do you know where I can find Scott?"

The man got up and sighed. "It's always Scott. No one ever wants to talk to jimmy."

Jimmy grinned. "And you are?"

The three introduced themselves. "Nice to meet you guys. I think Scott's at home. Follow me."

He looked up. "God! The sky! How long has it been like that?"

Ren shrugged. "A few hours."

Jimmy sighed. "I don't know how I didn't notice. Let's go."

Jimmy led them down the street to the tallest house. He opened the door and a voice called down the hall. "Jimmy? Did you catch anything? I don't want to eat cow tonight."

"Uh, not really. I've brought some guests. Pearl sent them."

A boy with pale skin and blue hair walked up. "Hey. I'm Scott. What brings you here?"

Flase looked around the room. "Pearl told us to come here. We need a place to stay for a while."

"Any friend of Pearl's is a friend of ours. Well we only have one guest room so one of you can stay with us and we can find some places for the other two."

Doc thought about it for a second. "Well Ren can stay here if he wants. I'll go wherever is closest. Just in case."

Ren nodded. "Fine with me."

Scott looked at a map of the Island. "Doc, you can stay with Fwip. He's not too far away, you two should get along just fine. If False wants to stay relatively close then Lizzie and Joel have a guest room."

He glanced at Ren, Doc and False's tired faces. "Cheer up. There's never a dull moment here."

Scott turned to Jimmy. "You take Doc and False to their places. Just get it done before sunset."

He took Ren down the hallway. "Tell me Ren, do you like fish?"

"Not particularly."

"Well you're in luck because Jimmy is terrible at fishing. Steak sound good?"

Ren smiled. "Yeah that would be great. Thanks so much dude."

"No problem. We can discuss what's happening with the hermits over dinner. Maybe we can get the others over. We definitely need to talk about what's happening with the sky. I bet Jimmy didn't even notice."

"Nah, he didn't until he stood up and walked down here."

Scott giggled. "He really does live in a world of his own."

Ren smiled. He knew he was going to like it here.

I know what you're thinking
Did I just do two crossovers in one chapter?
Yes, yes I did
The whole doom guy as Xisuma's father isn't my original idea, I have to credit DoctorSiren for that
As for involving empires in all of this, I think the empires in this world is set after Scott's season 1 ending
Everything is back to normal and he's living with solidarity
If you don't know anything about empires or doom that's fine just treat them as original characters
This chapter serves as a break from the action
Sorry for the really long notes

Next chapter: And They All Fall Down
