Dream SMP

"How long do we have?" Cally asked.

"I don't know," Silvia admitted.

"How do you not know?!" Aster said.

"XD didn't tell us!" Silvia said.

"What are you talking about?" Asked an unexpected, unfamiliar voice. The voice belonged to a boy, probably a year or two younger than Aster, with dirty blond hair, a right green eye and right light purple eye.

"Who are you?" Aster asked.

"I'm Wynne!" The blond boy smiled at the trio. His voice seemed to sound American but British at the same time.

"Oh! You're the one in the chat!" Cally said.

"Yes!" Wynne said. He sounded American, but seemed to pronounce a couple of words with a British accent. "Anyways," the boy said, dragging out the last syllable. "What were you talking about?"

"Private," Silvia said.

"Aw c'mon!" Wynne cried out. "No one ever lets me do anything or tells me anything!"

"Sorry, but we really shouldn't," Silvia replied.

"Fine," Wynne huffed and left the way he came.

"How long does XD typically give you?" Cally asked Silvia.

"Typically a week or two," Silvia responded.

"Why don't you check your watch?" Aster asked.

"I- Oh-" Silvia flushed with embarrassment as she took out the golden watch. "How long have we been here so far?"

"Two days," Cally replied

Silvia studied the watch, using mental math to help her figure out how long XD gave them as the hands ticked away.

"He gave us a week," Silvia confirmed after a while. "So we stay here for 5 more days."

But unknown to the three, Wynne never left. Instead, he had flown up to the top of a build with his wings and heard the whole conversation.

Hermitcraft

All he did was pant. Grian ran through the void, out of breath. But he had to keep running.

Xena chuckled, "Stop running, Xelqua. Or you'll experience inevitable consequences."

"Like what?"

Xena summoned Wynne, strangling him.

"LET HIM GO XENA!!!" Grian cried.

"Hmmm...no," She said, stabbing him in the chest.

Grian shouted. "NO!!!!"

His breaths were heavy as his eyes opened.

"Grian?" Scar said. "Are you okay?"

Grian shook his head.

"What's wrong?"

"I..." The blond hesitated. "I had a nightmare that Xena killed Wynne."

Scar's eyes widened in shock, then kissed Grian on the top of his head. "Well, it's not real. Plus, Xena's dead AND good now. Don't worry."

"I know," He responded. Grian then looked around. "Where...are we?"

"I don't know," Ren said. "We ended up travelling dimensions again. I'm pretty sure we're back in our current year, 2036, but we're clearly not in Hermitcraft. And zombies are everywhere, and it's been night for a while now."

One started attacking Impulse. "Uhm, yeah. Maybe we should go underground."

"I agree," X said. "You guys coming?"

Scar nodded, standing up. He then offered his hand to help up Grian, who took it and stood up.

"Yeah," Scar said.

Grian sighed. "Let's go..."

Conveniently, they found an above ground bunker with a locked door. They walked through to find a staircase leading down.

"Don't forget to lock the door behind you, X." Impulse said.

"Oh yeah!" Xisuma locked the door once everyone was through. "Thanks Impulse."

"No problem."

Grian looked out the only window. "The buildings look like what we built in our current season."

Scar put his hand on the blond's shoulder, looking out with him. "Yeah...maybe this is Hermitcraft. But then why would there be zombies everywhere?"

"I don't know..." Xisuma said, clearly worried.

"Maybe everyone became like Scar and didn't light their builds," Ren commented, receiving a glare from the terraformer.

Impulse sighed. "Let's go downstairs before fights start."

"Good idea," Xisuma agreed. "Come on guys!"

They went downstairs and found a large cave completely lit up. There was a deepslate city, and it looked magnificent.

"Quick!" The seven Hermits heard.

"What was that?" Xavier asked.

He slowly turned towards the sound of the voice. It was Grian, but his clothes were torn up and his face, arms and legs were bloody and had many scars. He was dragging that world's version of Wynne by the wrist.

"Wait!" Mitchell called. 

The world's version of Grian stopped. "Mitchell?! But you died! Who are you?"

Grian stepped forward. "I think we're you from another dimension."

"Hmmm," He said. "Well, come with me. We've got no time to waste!"

"What do you mean?" Xavier asked.

Other world Grian looked panicked. "It's coming!!"

Ren raised an eyebrow. "What's coming?"

"The Warden! Just come!" He started running, still holding other world Wynne by the wrist.

The seven followed him to another bunker, but underground this time. The first thing they saw was a handmade graveyard.. The names and causes of death were shocking.

Unfortunately, these were only a few of the numerous names on different graves.

"Follow me," Other world Grian said. He lead them to a room with all the Hermits who were still alive; Doc, Jevin, Cleo, Xisuma, Ren, Gem, Stress, TFC, Cub, Joel, and Scott.

"I'm dead here?!" Scar asked in shock. He then shrugged his shoulders. "Eh, makes sense."

Grian, Ren, and Xavier started laughing.

"Come on,"Other world Grian said. "We need to get you out of here, quick."
