(Hermitcraft is first for this chapter cause why not? -Pleb) (Because you have no idea what to write about before the Hermitcraft chapter's events happen. -Galactic) (True -Pleb)

Hermitcraft / Empires SMP

Scott thought everything could be peaceful. But it wasn't.

Tension just kept growing between the two server admins. A war would happen any day now. Hermitcraft vs Dream SMP. The lead Watcher wouldn't even be there to stop it. He was dead.

The man with the waffle was dead.

Scott overheard the two arguing as he passed by.

"DREAM, STOP ACTING LIKE YOU CONTROL EVERYTHING!"

"ME? YOU'RE THE ONE WHO THINKS YOU'RE IN CHARGE!"

"MAYBE BECAUSE I'M MORE RESPONSIBLE THAN YOU!!!"

"I WISH I'D NEVER MET YOU!"

"OH REALLY?! I WISH I'D NEVER MET YOU!!! IF IT WEREN'T FOR YOU, MY FRIENDS WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN DEAD, LEAVING ME UPSET FOR YEARS AND YEARS!"

"I WASN'T IN CONTROL!!!"

"I DON'T CARE WHO WAS IN CONTROL!!! THE POINT IS, YOU MURDERED PEOPLE I CARED ABOUT!!"

The two admins noticed Scott.

The Brit glared at him. "You eavesdropped?!"

Dream just shrugged it off. "I'm done with this. You wanna start a war? Be my guest! Just know I'll overpower you."

After Dream SMP's admin left, Scott looked directly at Xisuma.

"Look, you two can't fight forever."

"So? You know, you seem like you're not taking my side."

"I'm not taking anyone's side, Xisuma. You're acting like a child."

The admin snorted. "Because you're the perfect bridge huh? Being on 3rd Life and Last Life SMP, and also Origins SMP."

"I'm friends with both sides. If there's a war, I'll do anything in my power to stop it."

"What power?"

"Xisuma!! This isn't you!!"

"And how do you know? You don't know me! You don't know how painful my childhood was! So shut the fuck up about this not being me!"

X left, leaving Scott worried. Xisuma wasn't the type of person to lash out at people. He certainly wasn't the type of person to swear.

Xisuma never swore on Hermitcraft. Ever.

Something was up. Something bad.

Scott needed to find out. But he'd do that at a later date.

He decided to push all that negativity away. He needed to be positive. So he started getting prepared for a mining trip to help him relax.

He saw a chicken on his way. For some reason he felt the chicken was special.

It had a name tag on it. So he read the name tag.

Sally

He didn't know why, but he wanted to protect this chicken.

I mean, there was a person on the server who had a tendency to kill chickens.

"It's not getting away from me this time!" Joel said, slaughtering the chicken in front of him.

Scott shook at the thought.

"Hi!" He said cheerfully, as he lifted the chicken into his arms. "I'll protect you from Joel, don't worry."

He came out of his mining trip with 58 diamonds.

. . .

Scar was in a panic. Grian was gone. Grian. That prankster whom he always got frustrated with. It would be nice, because he would get pranked less. But it felt wrong. Not only was Grian a friend of Scar's, but it seemed impossible for him to die. He slightly laughed, remembering the time he put Grian in a minecart and sung to him as he dropped the blond into the Boatem Hole. Why was Scar so upset? He knew Xisuma and Mumbo were working out how to bring the Watcher back.

"Scar? Are you ok?"

Scar woke up to Mumbo in front of him. He noticed Xisuma in the background.

The vex looked around. "Oh? Yeah, me. I'm fine! What's going on?"

"We were talking about how we could bring back Grian and you passed out," X informed him.

"Oh! My bad!"

The redstoner wasn't impressed.

X put a finger to his chin. "My mum said reviving a Watcher, especially their leader, would be difficult. But he was easily revived after Dream killed him 5 years ago. How?"

A brilliant idea struck Scar's mind.

"Because of the person who brought him, I, and the others back. It wasn't a normal person, but it was a god. We need XD."

Dream SMP / Krew

Sally was confused. Scott was talking about someone named Sally, of course, not around Joel, but whenever Sally asked Scott if he called her, he said no. Sally was as confused as a rat in a rat maze without cheese. That is...Until she found the chicken. A chicken with a name tag on it. As she checked the name tag, everything made sense. The chicken was also named Sally!thing about Scott talking about someone named Sally made sense to her.

The chicken was also named Sally.

. . .

Draco found Dream storming away from Xisuma who was standing a couple of blocks away.

"Hey!" Draco ran up to Dream.

"What?" Dream snapped.

"Why were you reluctant to revive Rainbow, Gold and Funneh?"

"Do you REALLY want to know?"

"Yes!" Draco said with emphasis.

Dream sighed. He checked behind him. Xisuma had left.

"The more I revive," Dream said, reluctantly. "The more I lose my sanity. I only do it if I really have to."

"You revived Wilbur though," Draco said.

"That was Lucid," Dream replied.

"But still!"

"If I go insane," Dream said, emphasizing each syllable. "Lucid will take control. Nightmare will take control. I will be completely insane. And everyone. EVERYONE! EVERYONE WOULD BE DEAD!!"

"But it was only three people," the Canadians said.

"One person already made me lose half my sanity. It took George years to help me gain that sanity back." The blond just sighed. "And I don't want to hurt anyone else." He thought he saw something moving, but he ignored it, thinking it was a trick the eye.

Xisuma? Dream thought he left. But Xisuma was hidden behind a tree. And he heard the entire conversation between the American and the Canadian.

This is clearly going to be at least 30 chapters

- Pleb

No, not Sally the Salmon. I know I didn't watch Hermitcraft 6, but like, SALLY. Poultry Man's (*cough* Grian's *cough cough*) pet chicken. Who died after being kidnapped by Team S.T.A.R. Ok, I'm pretty sure swear words never left X's mouth on Hermitcraft, but he does occasionally say "Damn" in the chat. Also, it probably isn't real because of soundboard or something that can make beeping sounds, but I recommend the video "Xisuma swears like a pirate". Awesome interaction between X, Cleo, and False. BREAKING THE FOURTH WALL AGAIN XDDD (I fixed it again. What am I? The new fourth wall rebuilder? I also just wanted to write Sally the Salmon, Fundy and Wilbur meeting Sally the chicken -Pleb) Btw, I recently started reading "Daughter of the Deep" by Rick Riordan. There's a character named Gemini Twain and his nickname is Gem. You already know which Hermit I thought of when I heard the name- (GeminiTay) Also, did anyone catch the ATLA reference this chapter? (The reference was someone using ATLA's opening line)
