Chapter 33 - Anger and Fear

Dream SMP / Krew

Dream was enraged. This time, Dream was in complete control. He didn't care about the consequences. George is dead. Cally, Aspen and Ginny have never seen their father this angry before. It scared them. Dream was going to fucking KILL Xavier for killing George. All he needed was a plan. The blond chuckled to himself.

"Oh Xavier...You have made a grave mistake..."

All the blond needed was a plan...Yea, no. Fuck it. There ain't gonna be a plan.

However, he needed to be smart about what he was about to do. If he just killed the admin's brother, he would die to the others. He can't abandon his children when they needed him the most, and by dying that would be what happened with Wilbur and Fundy all over again, but worse. He tried to talk to Drista about it.

"Look, I get it. You want revenge. But that's something we can do after we get George back. I don't know where your revival book is, but considering you didn't use it yet, I'm assuming you either lost it or you don't want to touch it for the sake of George. Do me a favor and don't go looking for revenge and don't tell me to help you with revenge."

Dream frowned. "The one time I ask you to help create chaos is right now, and your refusing."

"Look, I'm also in a state of shock at what happened right now, but unlike you, I've seen what happens when too much chaos is put into one place. You spend all your time when not controlled trying to stop chaos from happening, and ended up not realizing the chaos you left behind. I've made the mistake of adding more chaos into the trial you left behind once, and that was the worse thing I've ever done."

"And what does this story have to do with right now?"

"Case and point: I'm not helping you, and if you tried to get someone else, say Techno, to help you murder, I'm stabbing you with the fork until you are on half a heart before shoving into a dark room by yourself. I know your not scared of the dark or being alone, so it's well within my right to do so. Do you understand?"

"I'm being lectured by my younger and more chaotic sister."

"Who apparently has more brain cells after you when we are both grieving. Now, go a be a good father to your kids. I don't want you neglecting them because your heartbroken at George's death."

"Fine..." Looks like he needs to find a different way to get revenge.

Oh, how he wished he could be as scary as Lucid and Nightmare right now. He can't let them take control (He will enjoy every moment before he had to give up control completely), but he did wish some of their traits were ones he had right now.

Hermitcraft / Empires SMP

Xavier was surprised that Dream wasn't attacking him yet. He did kill George after all.

"Hey, Xavier, let me talk to you!"

He turned around to see his mother. "What do you want mum?"

"To talk."

"I know, you just said that. What about?"

Xyla sighed. "Xavier, you shouldn't kill people because you're mad that your brother's dead again."

"I DIDN'T DO IT BECAUSE I WAS MAD!!! I DID IT BECAUSE THERE'S A WAR GOING ON AND I NEEDED TO GIVE HERMITCRAFT THE ADVANTAGE!!!"

"There shouldn't have even been a war in the first place."

Xavier chuckled in a villainous way. "Oh, how I missed laughing like this. It's not my fault there was a war. It was Dream's."

"Xavier, it really wasn't Dream's fault. From my understanding, Dream wasn't in control when he killed most of the Hermits 5 years ago. You and I both know that your brother is stubborn. That he doesn't always think straight when making decisions."

His expression softened. "I mean he is a derp."

"Correct!" She said, laughing. Then she went serious again. "Killing is never the answer."

"You're right," Xavier said, making his mother smile. But she didn't expect him to say anything else. "Killing ISN'T the answer. But 2 other things are. What we need is leverage against the Dream SMP, and more chaos. I think it's time to call some friends of mine."

His mother told him this wasn't the way. But it was. He needed to wreak havoc again. He stepped up to the front desk at the Server Hub's HQ.

Xavier knew the portals to Hermitcraft couldn't be accessed. So how else was he going to get where he needed to go?

"Hello? How do I access Hels Kitchen? The Hermitcraft server is locked."

The lady there smiled. "That wouldn't be located on the Hermitcraft server. It's in Hels, remember?"

She lead him to the door. "Are you whitelisted?"

"I think so?" He said, turning the knob and stepping through.

Xavier admitted, it was nice being back in the fiery place his friend called himself after. He never knew Helsknight's real name...But it was too late now. He was dead. But others weren't.

And that's who he needed to find. He found Hels Kitchen, which was fairly easy to find.

But he knew his friends wouldn't recognize him without his helmet, so he put it on. It felt weird. He knew that he hadn't worn his helmet in a while, unlike his brother who wore his quite often. Xisuma... Xavier missed his brother. He shook the name out of his head, and entered the kitchen.

"HEYYY GUYS!!! EVIL XISUMA IS BACK!!!"

His friend group looked up smiling. Normally, it would be TrueSymmetry, Helsknight, BadTimesWithScar, IsGall85, and AriesEva. The only one missing was Hels.

True looked up. "Heyy there he is! Haven't seen YOU in forever!"

Xavier smiled. "Hey True!"

BadTimes grinned. "What's up EX?"

"I'm good, how are you guys?"

Gem's counterpart looked up. "You really wanna know?"

Isgall elbowed her. "Ari, be nice. He's our friend remember?"

"He ditched us! Where did you go anyway? You disappeared without even saying goodbye."

Xavier didn't know how to answer. His friends would be mad at him if he told the truth and said he made up with the Hermits and even became one! They were the evil Hermits after all...

"I just had to uh..." His brain stopped working. So he said the first thing that came to his mind. "I JUST HAD TO GET SOME MILK!!!"

Ari wasn't impressed. "Are you kidding me right now? Dude, it's a father's job to get the milk, not Hermits' alter egos."

True chuckled. "Yeah, EX. What'd you come down here for, if not to say hi?"

"I want to propose something."

"And that is...?" BadTimes said, waiting on Xavier's response.

"Hermitcraft is locked down right now, all the Hermits are trapped on a server with members of Dream SMP. Can you do a friend a favor and wreak havoc on that server?"

"It's what we do best!" Ari said, grinning.

True smiled along with Ari. "I'm in!"

BadTimes laughed. "Oh this will be fun!"

"I like this idea more than you think!" Isgall said.

Xavier, who was slowly becoming EX again, grinned. "Perfect."

. . .

Grian thought the day would be normal for him. But it wasn't. Instead, his eyes widened as he looked down at his communicator. He started to tremble in fear.

EvilXisuma joined the game

trusymmetry joined the game

isGall85 joined the game

AriesEva joined the game

BadTimeWithScar joined the game

Who were these people? Because they sounded awfully like the Hermits' evil counterparts. His hands shook as he typed his response.

<Grian> Xavier, who are these?

I completed 10 chapters over the course of 3 days...Thank Galactic-

- Pleb

What I wrote: "Dream wasn't in control when he killed most of the Hermits 5 years ago." VS What I wanted to write: "Dream wasn't in control when he killed most of the Hermits in Book 1." MORE ISSUES!!!!!! Yea Hermitcraft opposites are basically just separate entities so that's why they weren't used in Book 1. Btw, I used some cam accounts for the alter egos. Obviously added alter egos people are familiar with. Most of them are pretty obvious, but some aren't. AriesEva is Gem's cam acc. Pretty sure the acc joined the server leaving some Hermits confused on who it was one time. Xavier getting milk is the best thing I've added to this story so far.

-Galactic

Milk... (HE NEED SOME MILK or maybe 'Butler, why do you have so much milk?' 'I don't know.') Nope can't think of any reason why I looked at milk and thought of something. I'm joking, but the milk part is really funny. However, this is chapter 34, and I'm starting to wonder whether or not Pleb and Galactic wants to write 200 chapters for this story.
