Dream SMP / Krew

Kristin now roamed the server back in her original appearance. The crows didn't stray any further then 100 blocks away from her.

No one dared to make her angry, fearing that the woman would kill them since she was Death. Of course, Kristin told them they had nothing to be afraid of and she wouldn't ever do anything like that. Which was obviously true.

Sometimes crows came over to Death to give her messages. The crows were pretty much the only ones who could go to the Dream SMP without using the hub. They could go to any server without using the hub just to receive messages to give to Phil. Sometimes, Phil sent some crows to Kristin to talk to her.

Once, even a crow came over and said, "married life, very nice," just like the time when Kristin had told Phil that she fixed the couch.

"Married life, very nice, OURNA OURNA OURNA OURNA". The "ourna"s went on for a while after that.

"Who is your favorite child?" Phil read the message out loud before responding. "I can't pick a favorite child!" Then he lowered his voice to a whisper. "Techno-" He raised his volume back to normal. "I can't pick a favorite child, what are you talking about? That's crazy dude!"

Kristin snickered at the memory.

. . .

Rainbow was running. Running from the clown. But with every step she took, she got more tired. Eventually, she had to stop. She hid behind a tree, trying to hide from ItFunneh.

"Rainbow!" The voice called.

"Rainbow?" Said a male voice.

"SHUSH-" Rainbow grabbed Draco and pulled him behind the tree with her.

"Wha-"

"She's looking for me!" Rainbow hissed. "Now be quiet or we'll both get caught!"

"But-"

"What Draco?"

"Lunar is back to normal."

"How?" The youngest sibling took out another potion out of his pocket to show his taller sister.

"Can you throw it at her?"

"Throw what at who?" The two siblings jumped up in shock to see that ItFunneh was behind them.

"NOW DRACO!!" Draco threw the potion at ItFunneh and the girl shrieked in shock before her features began going back to their original state. The girl blinked a few times. She looked around before spotting her older sister and her younger brother.

"Where am I?" Funneh asked, although she never got an answer as her siblings flung themselves onto her.

"Funneh! You're back!" Rainbow shrieked, "I thought you were never going to be normal again!"

"What do you mean? I'm normal? Wait, did something happen to me, like me turning someone else? Or is this a prank?"

"Shut up and enjoy the moment," was Draco only reply.

Hermitcraft / Empires SMP

The server seemed, normal, somehow. There were still issues though. Sam, SamGladiator, and Xornoth were still on the server. Not to mention they were still on the same server instead of back to Hermitcraft and Dream SMP.

Grian was playing a board game with Taurtis and some of the Hermits when he got an idea that could change everyone's lives.

"Oh my gosh! I just realized something!"

"What is it?" Scar asked, clearly confused by what Grian realized.

"I need to talk to Xyla!"

He rushed over to Xisuma and Xavier's mother.

"You said any leader of the Watchers could revive people, right?"

"Yes, why?"

She then realized what Grian meant. "Oh my gosh! You can bring anyone back to life!"

"How do I access the file?"

"Put your Watcher mask back on and search every file!" Grian quickly shoved on the mask and began searching through every file he could find.

"Found it!" He exclaimed after a few minutes and began reading through.

'Revival Magic

Concentrate on the person or people you wish to revive. Make sure you concentrate hard.'

Grian immediately thought of Xavier, to test if it worked. Grian then looked around for the white-haired Hermit.

"Woah, Xisuma! Good to see you too!!" Grian heard in the distance. "STOP HUGGING ME SO TIGHT!!!"

Grian then focused on the Hermits who were killed at Dream's hands 5 years ago. Sure enough he heard a cry of joy and looked in the direction of the cry.

He looked over at Scar who was happily hugging Cub and Bdubs. "I missed you guys so much!"

"Yeah you totally missed me more," Bdubs pointed out.

"No I-"

"Oh no, he SO missed me more!" Cub exclaimed.

Scar nervously laughed as his two friends started to argue. "Guys please- There's enough Scar to go around-"

"ISKALL!!!" Mumbo cheered, hugging his fellow Architech.

"Hallo Mumbo, good to see you!"

Everyone was happy.

A better idea popped into his head.

He concentrated on xBCrafted, Hypnotizd, TinFoilChef, StressMonster101, EthosLab, iJevin, JoeHills, and VintageBeef. The 8 Hermits that died in the moon crash.

They all woke up near or in one tree. Grian rushed over. "Hi guys!"

"Where are we?" Stress asked. "Is this Hermitcraft?"

"JOE!!!" Cleo yelled and ran up to hug her close friend.

"Hi Cleo- What's going on?"

"What's all this commotion?" Xisuma asked, walking over.

Then he saw them.

"Oh my goodness me," he said. "Is it really you guys?"

He walked over to hug all 8 of them, tears of joy streaming down his face.

"What even happened?" Hypno asked.

After about an hour or two, X had explained everything.

xB frowned. "So you're telling me this is 5 years into the future? We've been dead that long?"

"I think the real question here is, why isn't X wearing his helmet?" Jevin mentioned.

"And this is what it's like being Hermitcraft's admin..." Xisuma murmured as everyone started to ask questions, the server was falling into chaos. Not bad chaos this time, just chaos.

. . .

"Lizzie!" Joel ran over to Lizzie, waving.

"Hey Joel!" She said, and kissed her husband. "Don't you ever die on me again...hear me?"

"I'll try not to, in fact I probably won't because I'm such a pro!"

She laughed, and they kissed again.

Then Jimmy ran over. "Hey Joel, remember when we decided to diss Fwhip?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Well, I was looking through some files and it showed everything we ever sung on Empires."

"Oh cool! So even Deal with Destiny?" Lizzie asked.

"Yeah!" Then he looked back at Joel. "So the diss's lyrics showed up, and someone looked over my shoulder and saw the lyrics. I think he might be mad at you."

"Who-" Joel started. "OH-"

"JOEL YOU'RE IN SERIOUS TROUBLE-" A certain Scottish voice called.

"Oh hey Scott..." Joel said. "Lovely day, huh?"

"Why would you mentioned to Fwhip that killing me would be fun?"

"Ummm I mean-"

"COME HERE JOEL!!!" Scott shouted, laughing as he chased Joel around the world.

. . .

"So Grian's the leader of the Watchers now?" Iskall asked, as he played uno with the other Architechs.

"Apparently!" Was the response he got from Mumbo.

"Can I see your Omega powers of Doom?"

"Fine..." Grian sighed, smiling as he stood up.

He put his Watcher mask on. He then looked at the closest thing near him, and blasted his purple magic at it.

The mug filled with tea exploded. Iskall looked highly impressed.

"So, what do you think?" The blond Hermit asked.

"I think it's really coo-"

"It's a waste of a perfect cup of tea, that's what I think."

Grian immediately turned around to see Hermitcraft's admin. "Oh, hey X! Yeah so, the sacrifice had to be made...don't get angry!"

The admin sighed. "I'm not angry, just disappointed. If you didn't like it, you could've just told me and I'd have drunk it."

Xyla, who just walked in, rested her hand on Xisuma's shoulder. "Now, Xisuma, we all know you care about your tea. But see, that tea wasn't yours, it was Grian's to break."

Grian, shrugging it off, carefully removed his Watcher mask. "Hey, wanna see me do a water bucket MLG?"

"Sure!" Mumbo said. "I bet you couldn't!"

They went outside, and Grian built up a tower of dirt. He jumped, water bucket in hand.

Only then did Mumbo realize the area they were in. Only then did he realize Grian couldn't MLG there.

"NOOOO!!!" He yelled, jumping up to where Grian, pushing his body against the Grian's to shove the blond out of the way.

They landed on top of Scar, resulting in the intense laughter of Cub and Bdubs.

"OW!!!" The terraformer exclaimed. "Can you get off?"

After getting up, Grian turned to Mumbo, giving the redstoner an angry glare. "Why did you shove me out of the way? You thought I couldn't MLG?"

"No." Mumbo said, shaking his head. "I shoved you out of the way because the water would have ruined my unnecessarily complex automatic sugarcane farm!"

The blond glanced at the farm. "Really?"

Scar winced in pain as he stood up. "Was your machine worth sacrificing my back though?"

The redstoner nodded. "Very much so."

The vex frowned. "Rude."

"Well, now I've been inspired to do redstone!" Grian said cheerfully, standing tall and putting his hands on his hips.

Iskall snorted. "You? Redstone? That'll be an Omega failure of Doom!"

Mumbo laughed. "And what will you make, exactly?"

"A Flux Capacitor! Somehow I wanna incorporate anatomic lollipops..."

The redstoner's eyes widened. "Anatomic lollipops? What are those?"

The blond pulled out a redstone torch, leaving Mumbo sighing as Grian skipped across the world, looking for a spot to build the machine.

Then Mumbo noticed something suspicious.

There were spoons in his pocket, so he pulled them out, bewildered.

Scar burst out in laughter.

Mumbo ignored it, and rushed to his base. Spoons were sticking out from the ground.

He caught a glimpse of Tango giggling behind his base. A couple of crows were with him. He immediately stormed over. "What do you think you're doing?"

"IT WAS THE CROWS' FAULT NOT MINE-" Tango blurted out while he attempted to fly away.

Mumbo grabbed him. "Why are the crows involved?"

A crow pulled out a piece of paper. Dadza said it would be funny

Tango smiled. "And Dadza is quite old."

Another crow pulled out a paper. Dadza is thousands of years old considering his hardcore worlds. But if you don't count that, Phil is younger than most of you Hermits

"True, but you don't have to call us Hermits out like that-" Tango said quietly.

Mumbo playfully hit the red-eyed Hermit with a stick. "Never place any more spoons again!"

"No promises!"

. . .

Bdubs and Gem were arguing over a build they were working on for the server's community.

"NO BIRCH!!!"

"Yes birch, birch looks pretty!" She firmly stated.

"We're not adding any birch to this build!" The sleeper yelled.

"Gem, sorry, but birch isn't the best." Pearl said.

"Well at least it's birch and not an even number of blocks!"

"You're never letting that one go, are you?" Xisuma said from a distance.

"Nope!" The redhead said firmly.

The admin sighed. "This is gonna be a long day..."

He decided to check his communicator. "Oh my goodness me-"

<Grian> My waffle is beautiful!!!

<DraconiteDragon> You must be strong. I mean, waffles are just pancakes with abs!

<GoodTimeWithScar> Did someone say abs? SHIRT IS COMING OFF!!!

<Grian> SCAR PUT YOUR CLOTHES BACK ON!!!

<Quackity> I shall join you Scar! Shirtless bros for life!

<Georgenotfound> Didn't Karl say no?

<Quackity> Well shit. Sorry Scar, the memory of my husbands come before being the shirtless bros... :(

<GoodTimeWithScar> Aww man :(

<impulseSV> Scar you forgot to say creeper.

<Ghostboo> Now I'm reminded of Tubbo singing Creeper

<Xisuma> What in the heck is going on here?

<Grian> Business, X, business...

<Xisuma> How is this related to business?

<Welsknight> Because I'm profiting off of delivering burns.

<Xisuma> Alright, I'll pay you 5 diamonds to insult Dream.

<Dream> Why am I always your target?

<Welsknight> No can do, 50 diamonds or no deal.

<Xisuma> ...

<Xisuma> Pricey. It'll be worth it. Do an original insult, not one of the already used ones. For example, a used one would be "homeless green teletubby"

<Dream> ...how did you find out about that?

<Technoblade> "Homeless green teletubby." Classic. Chef's kiss.

<Georgenotfound> Why are we bullying Dream...?

<Welsknight> Alright, I'll do it.

<Xisuma> Yes pls OwO

<Grian> DID XISUMA JUST SAY OWO?!?!

<Welsknight> If you love George, then why do you kill him while speedrunning?

<Dream> I-

<Xisuma> Lol

<Grian> Why would you even think of profiting from this?

<MumboJumbo> I wanna see how you'll insult Grian. Insult him, and I'll pay you a stack ;)

<Welsknight> Short.

<Grian> HEY!!!

<Dream> Bruh, one word?

<Georgenotfound> It's not like you don't call me short

<Welsknight> Don't steal my job!!

<Georgenotfound> Too bad

<MumboJumbo> I mean, Grian IS short...

<Grian> ...still tall enough to break your kneecaps.

<MumboJumbo> Oh dear.

<Georgenotfound> And I'm irresistible aren't I Dream?

<Dream> Can't argue against that

<Grian> Can you two stop flirting? The purpose of this was to get high in chat.

<Xisuma> Grian!!!

<Grian> What? It's fun!

<Xisuma> I'll destroy that machine you're making to take Mumbo's moustache away.

<MumboJumbo> What? I thought you were making a Flux Capacitor...DON'T TAKE AWAY MY MOUSTACHE!!!

<Iskall85> If he takes your moustache then you should take his waffle!

<MumboJumbo> YES!!!

<Grian> NO!!!

<Xisuma> Oh my...

<cubfan135> Splendid!

<joehillssays> Has Grian ever had waffles for breakfast?

<Grian> Yeah...why?

<Stressmonster101> Cannibal Grian.

<Grian> That actually has a nice ring to it.

<ZombieCleo> Can I murder him now?

<GoodTimeWithScar> No.

<Xisuma> I personally think Wels's business is a scam.

<Grian> Maybe he's been hanging out with Scar!

<Welsknight> What do you mean?

<Grian> GoodTimesWithScam.

<GoodTimeWithScar> LOL.

<Xisuma> GoodCrimesWithScar.

<GoodTimeWithScar> XD

<Georgenotfound> ???

<Renthedog> Oh my gosh I remember Scar scamming literally everyone in 3rd Life!!!

<Grian> Yeah...

<Renthedog> Those stupid reputation points!

<GoodTimesWithScar> Well you were literally the villain! Remember the Red Winter War?

<Smajor1995> OH MY GOSH.

<Grian> And Joel trying to blow up the Scottage in Last Life.

<Smallishbeans> I succeeded too!

<Tango> B.E.S.T. alliance was the best!

<Etho> I agree!

<BdoubleO100> Yep!!!

<Grian> Nah, South Land were the best.

<SolidarityGaming> AHA!!!

<MumboJumbo> If you take a driving test you get to drive a c-aha-r!!!

<impulseSV> You can have a good time with Sc-aha-r!!!

<GoodTimeWithScar> Yes. :)

<Grian> I trapped X's base and much to his dismay, it'll set off an al-aha-rm!!!

<Xisuma> Excuse me?

<Grian> NOTHING!!! YOU SAW NOTHING I TELL YOU!!!

<Xisuma> :-|

<MumboJumbo> Grian the Guilty.

<Grian> Mumbo the Spoon.

<Iskall85> Omega Iskall of Doom.

<GeminiTay> Gem is Great!

<Dream> When will this stop?

<Xisuma> I know right?!

<Grian> grian.exe has started ignoring xisumavoid.exe

<EvilXisuma> LMFAOOOO.

<Xisuma> I- Ah, what's the point anymore?

<iJevin> I just opened my communicator, what's up people?

<Technoblade> The sky.

<GeminiTay> Birch is awesome!

<PearlescentMoon> No.

<BdoubleO100> Birch isn't awesome. Diorite is though!!!

<Iskall85> NO. NO NO NO!!! NOOOOOOO!!!!! GET RID OF THAT BIRD POOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jevin closed out the chat. Well that was chaotic.

He roamed around the server. There appeared to be an area for the Hermits and an area for the Dream SMP members. False had built a lovely town hall right in the center.

"What's up Jev?" A voice said behind him.

The blue slime turned around to see Welsknight. "Oh, hi Wels!"

"Whatcha doin?"

"Not chatting in the chat, that's for sure!"

The knight laughed. "Yeah, it is chaotic!"

Jevin posed a question. "When do you think we'll get home?"

"I dunno."

. . .

After getting caught placing spoons, Tango wanted to pull a serverwide prank. One that involved Ravagers.

You whisper to Grian: Hey, wanna help me pull a prank on the server?

Grian whispers to you: Yeah, I'm down for any prank!

Tango smiled. Then he realized the admin of the server could see all messages in chat, regardless of whether it's a whisper or not.

So he had to get Xisuma and Dream involved, just in case.

You whisper to Xisuma: Wanna help with a serverwide prank?

Xisuma whispers to you: Sure, I can get involved with mischief for once ;-)

You whisper to Dream: Wanna help with a prank on the entire server?

Dream whispers to you: Why should I?

You whisper to Dream: Please?

Dream whispers to you: Fine. Whatever.

Tango smiled wide. He had the admins involved. He then messaged Zedaph, Impulse, Scar, Joel, Jimmy, Tommy, Quackity, Funneh, and Draco. They were all on board.

They met up at a secret base under town hall.

"Meeting in secret gives me horrible flashbacks of the Mycelium Resistance!" Scar said.

"Are you kidding? The Resistance was great!" Impulse argued.

Tommy just grinned. "So, what's the prank plan?"

"I wanna prank the server with ravagers. Airdrop them, push them out of the ground with redstone, etc. Basically anything that will invest the server with ravagers. I need all you guys' help and cooperation!"

"AWESOME!!!" The two blond gremlins said in unison.

"Why do you like Ravagers so much?" Impulse asked. "Season 7 you made a minigame based on Ravagers, and Season 8 you airdropped Ravagers into Boatem!"

"They're cool." Tango responded.

"Let's get to work!" Funneh said. "I like pranks!"

"Me too!" Draco said. "Especially when they're on Funneh!" His older sister elbowed him. "Ow!"

Joel grinned. "Yes, let's cause chaos."

They all got to work and after hours and hours, they finished.

One sleep in a bed would trap the entire server. It would set off a trap that airdropped Ravagers, pushed them out of the ground, go through piston doors that would be opened, drop players into pits of Ravagers, and much more.

"Perfect!" The red-eyed Hermit said. "Now we just wait for someone to sleep in that bed!"

Quackity raised an eyebrow and snorted. "Sleep? Please, I feel like our main targets here are George and Bdubs."

"I have no problem killing Bdubs!" Scar said, grinning. "Once in Season 8 I paid someone to kill him, it was hilarious!"

"And all those times we broke his bed as he tried to sleep," Grian reminded the vex.

Scar laughed. "Yeah!"

"Alright guys," Tango continued. "Now let's continue with our everyday business."

He got a lot of agreements on that one.

The server would be in dismay.

And it would be because of Tango Tek.

C'mon! We needed at least one part with everyone being high on crack!! (Yea. Btw, NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP!!! -Galactic) "The Sky" is always my reply whenever someone asks me "What's up?" Anyways- I am trying to convince Galactic for a part with Joel dissing of Sally for being a Salmon, Fundy for having a Salmon mother and Ghostbur for doing a Salmon. (And I said you could as long as it was in the DSMP section! "Doing a Salmon" LOL 69 -Galactic)
- Pleb

Oh crap angst is reversed SADDDDDDDD. BREAKING THE FOURTH WALL AGAIN BABY (YOU BITCH- I fixed it. -Pleb) Lmao I wanna be inspired by a show I was watching (Liv and Maddie) and break the fourth wall! (Yeah legit in the last episode of the last season they mention cameras filming them...) Some Hermitcraft shenanigans this chapter. Ah yes, Mumbo's voiceover ep with Grian, Ren, and Iskall. The one he made them do voiceovers for him. The callback to this video was when Grian said "Anatomic lollipops". Ah, the good ol' days with Season 7. Then the chaotic world destruction plotline in Season 8. We'll just have to wait and see what Season 9 brings, my fellow Hermitcraft fans! TOWN HALL LIVE STREAM THROWBACK AYYYY ODD VS EVEN!!! Gem is Great! :D. Wait, Tango is also blond and wears red. He also pulls off pranks. THREE blond, red-wearing gremlins. But Grian and Tommy will always be the blond, red-wearing, war-starting, British, chicken-related, gremlins.

-Galactic

I had the job to editing your slide so they actually fit on the slides - you people are better than that. I'm disappointed in you people. Not the fans, since it's pog their reading this. But you people need to get everything together. A little runoff is understandable, not big chunks of PAGES! Rant over. (Well I mean I typed a chapter out before Pleb, and Pleb writing her part of the chapter pushed mine down simply by typing, so I'm blaming Pleb here, sorry :P -Galactic) you could have done SOMETHING. (I've actually been doing that... -Pleb) (I mean, not my fault tho- Btw, NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP- -Galactic) the Law teacher has already done this to my class (I didn't open the video, but I heard it) and I got extra credit out of it, so in other words, this is not affecting me in any way other than more rant (Why do I like ranting?). Side note: I think Phil is canonically over a thousand years old. From what I remember, Phil hardcore world are cannon, and adding in all those years outside the smp, you get over a thousand years in mincraft.
