TheOrionSound: THEY CAME THROUGH THE RIFT

SolidarityGaming: WHAT?!

Jimmy paced the street of Tumble Town as the messages came in. Somehow... somehow Ren, Martyn and Grian were on Empires. Why? What were they doing? And why did it connect to the rift? They'd lost all contact with Hermitcraft not long ago, Martyn had told him something about a mob death crisis not long before that... how Grian had asked him to help... 

'Hello, Timmy the Toy.' He turned suddenly as Martyn flew in, landing, and almost screamed. His face was mottled green, eyes black, and mouth drawn into a frown. Like a creeper.

'Martyn- what- happened to you?' 

'Oh, nothing much. Just got killed by a creeper and now Ren wants to continue his rule as king across the entire minecraft multiverse.' He stepped closer. Jimmy stepped away, one hand on his sheriff hat. 'Starting with you... the pathetic little toy pretending to be a sheriff.'

'I'm not a toy!' He insisted, backing away as Martyn approached.

'Ren's making the world a better place. Every world. Including this one.' A laugh. 'You do realise how much you're missing out on with your regular lack of power... I can make you a god.'

'I'm not joining your little thing... and it won't even work in this world. I don't know what Ren did to break Hermitcraft but...'

'He told me it was far easier in this world.'  

Jimmy's eyes widened further. Martyn only laughed.

'I know exactly what mob fits you.'

'What?'

'The most powerful of all.' He placed down a piece of soul-sand.

'Don't you dare.'

'You can't stop me, Jimmy. And once you're on our side, you can help us get everyone else too... He will tell you what to do and you will do it.'

'He?'

Another piece of soulsand. Jimmy drew a sword.

'You're going to blow up Tumble Town, Martyn!' But all this did was make the creeper's eyes glow with anticipation.

'Exactly.' Three more blocks. Martyn took out his wither skeleton skulls.

'Stop this, please. I... I'll send Scott to kill you. I'll get Joey to steal all your stuff and then act really weird around you. I'll... I'll...' One head down. 'I'm the sheriff! You should respect me! Why doesn't anyone respect me?!'

'Because you're a weak little toy who should've been killed when the Watchers destroyed Evo.' Martyn's words cut as deep as expected. Jimmy's expression turned to fury.

'I.' he began. 'Am. Not. A. TOY!' Sword out, he charged at Martyn, slicing. His friend hissed back, the green of his skin flashing white, like a creeper about to explode.

'Careful, Timmy. Don't want to blow up Tumble Town do you?' Laughed back Martyn. Another head. There was only one left.

'Get away from my base. As the Sheriff of Tumble Town and the Law of Empires I will... MARTYN WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!'

The sheriff backed away as Martyn placed the last skull and the Wither spawned. Instant damage as it exploded into being, spotting Jimmy and firing deadly skulls at him. He screamed. Martyn laughed. It took no time at all for the deed to be done.

SolidarityGaming withered away

It was as the combined force of Ren, Martyn and Jimmy appeared in her base that Lizzie really started to regret ignoring chat.

Especially since they were all half-mobs.

'Oh my goodness what happened to you?!' She didn't know where to look... The two people who shouldn't even be on the server or Jimmy Solidarity the half-wither.

His face was dark grey, skeletal, eyes pure white. Arms skeletal, legs together as he floated a block or so off the ground.

'Good morning, Lizzie.' Ren greeted.

'What did you do to Jimmy?' She replied, reaching for a sword.

'The same thing we will do to you.'

'Don't turn me into a wither!'

'We wont. For you we have a...' Martyn stepped away suddenly from where he was trying to approach Lizzie menacingly. 'A... Get away from me. Lizzie, get away from me.'

'You're scared of me.' She replied. 'Of course, my master plan! You're a creeper and I'm a... Perfectly ordinary player.' even Jimmy caught the sudden correction.

'Creeper instincts, dang it!' Realised Ren. 'Because you're part cat!'

'I'm not a cat.' Shot back Lizzie. 'What do you mean I'm a cat?'

'Just keep her away from me and I'll be fine.' By this point, Martyn had reached the other side of the village. Ren stared at him for a moment, not even hiding his annoyance before looking back as the slowly fleeing Lizzie.

'Now, you're going to do what we want, or Jimmy here is going to blow up your little animal Empire.' He grinned, stepping towards her. 'Is that a deal!'

'It's Animalia! Critter City, Animalia.'

'It's going to be gone soon. Now, punch one of the golems.'

'What?!'

'Punch one of the golems or Animalia will be gone.' Repeated Ren with a smile.

'I... I have to ask the Council. You know Ariana has her opinions and likes to have her say and Lucky always disliked...'

'Now.' For the first time ever, Jimmy speaking caused someone to obey him.

'Fine! But... But I'm not doing what I you want me to after this.'

'We'll see about that...' She started to back away, towards where one of the golems was standing. It looked at her, and she looked back.

'Now, I'm very sorry about what I'm about to do but...'

'DO IT!' Ren shouted. With a yell, Lizzie punched it.
