Chapter Text
Fourteen players hit the ground hard. Everyone groaned in pain as they landed in a world different from their own. Sharp stabbing shot through Grian's spine as laided on the grass causing him to wince again as he tried to open his eyes. The avian grabbed at the grass pulling dirt up with his nails. The bird man finally opened his eyes and scanned his surroundings taking everything in. Grian rolled on to his back looking up at the blue sky and sun above giving him some scene of time, mid afternoon to be exact. Grian turned his head to the left and saw the back of someone's head next to him, their breathing thankfully, Grian moves to sit up the pain in his bones subsiding his eyes scan around seeing many people also laying on the ground, some conscious others still waking up from the fall.
Bdubs, someone Grian recognizes, sits up looking over at the birdman "where are we?" He asks running his hand over the back of his head. "I don't know" Grian sighs, but that's a lie, or at least it feels like one, but he can't put into words how he kind of knows what's going on. "I swear if yall blew me up again" a familler voice curses. "Tim?" Grian's voice rings his eyes locking with the fellow blonde. Jimmy's eyes going wide as his land on his missing friend. Before Grian could react the boy ran over pulling the avian into a hug.
"You're here! well where ever here is, but you're here your alive!" Jimmy smiles tears pouring over as he wraps his arms tighter around Grian. The man in the red sweater looks at Jimmys face not believing what he's seeing, it has't to be a trick right? a trick the watchers are pulling, he saw him die in that memory, by his hand. Tears slip down his face "I'm sorry" Grian sobs as he hides his face in Jimmy's chest, The lighter blonde frowns tighting his hold on Grian, careful to avoid the man's small wings, He runs his hand through the dirty blondes hair holding him there "you're ok, I'm ok, we're ok" Jimmy mutters holding his friend.
By this point everyone had woken up and was either sitting or standing, but no one has left the area yet wanting answers. "Does anyone know where we are?" Ren asks moving to his feet, "this just looks like a normal survival world" Cleo comments. "weren't we all on hermitcraft a minute ago thought?" Etho pipes up "I don't know about you lot but i personally was in my own server" a blue haired man states.
"Same here" another blonde waves, "us too" Bigb says gesturing to Jimmy who's still on the ground holding Grian, "Bigb? Martyan?" Grian's head pops up his eyes still tear stained and sad but curious "Grian!" both shout running towards him and Jimmy overwhelming the poor avian. "where have you been dude? you disappeared from Evo then those things came back and destroyed it" Martyan states Grian frowns the memories flooding back "I'm sorry" he frowns folding in on himself, "what are you sorry for? it wasn't your fault, if anything it was those flipping watchers" Martyan hands fold into fists.
Suddenly a glowing green light apeared above everybody. Grian pulled away from Jimmy looking over at his friends. Something burned into his skin shocking his initial panic and sadness away He pulled his arm out of his sleeve reveling a green heart under his sweater. "I've got one too" Cleo says showing a glowing green hear against her pale skin. "Same here" Joel says making his presents known. "Looks like this just got a lot more complicated" Jimmy says looking over at Grian who has a pretty good idea of whos behind this.
"Well I'm not going to sit here and do nothing" Ren states before walking over to the nearest tree and collecting wood. Eventually everyone followed in suit getting geared up and going their separate ways. Grian found himself wandering off, "did i cause this?" Grian asks himself as he mines for iron. As night fell Grian arrived at the world border, which was very small to say the least. Following the border he arrives back at the villiage seeing a group of his friends gathered.
His pesky bird brain takes over, the aivian smirks finding a creeper off in the distance. Walking over he keeps his attention long enough to bring it over to the group, just to spook them nothing more, but with creepers its never that simple, everyone else backed away except Scar who was blown up. "Grian!" Everyone shouted "I'm sorry it was suppost to be a harmless prank" He says a bit hysterical. Over the hill comes running Scar who looked annoyed and slightly pissed "Grian!" He shouts "I'm sorry it was too tempting" Grian says with a smile until his eyes land on Scar's arm "Your hear is yellow now" he mumbles.
Scar looks over at his arm "I guess it is, thanks to you" he snaps collecting his stuff. Grian suddenly feels bad "Umm, for that prank i'm allied with you till i lose my first life" Grian answers. Quickly, seems only fair in his mind, Scar's eyes glaze over the bird man, "Seriously?" he asks, Grian nods "yep, i'm with you till i lose my first life" he answers. The red sweater man is confused how he knows that he's going to lose lives but its quickly replaced by Scar dragging him off "Were going to have a monopoly on sand!" Scar shouts going on about this plan. Grian just nods along going with it, but only until he loses his first life then hes out.
Days go by, the sun sets and rises and slowly everyone has formed their own groups and allies and Grian is still aligned with Scar which hasn't been all bad, a little chaotic sure but not bad. Grian and Scar became knowns as the desert duo having a not very good monopoly on sand. Both forgetting where they came from and why they were their in the first place all they knew is they had to win, no matter what. "Scar their going to kill you" Grian states "But they took Pizza!" he shouts clearly upset. "Maybe we can bargain with them and- Scar put a flipping shirt on!" Grian shouts covering his eyes "right, right sorry i forgot" Scar chuckles putting on his chest plate.
"Lets just at least make a plan before running into their base blind sided" Grian commented heading back up monopoly mountain and into their tower collecting idems. While digging through chests he felt arms wrap around his waist, "Scar, Your squishing my wings" Grian comments "Sorry" he says losing his grip but not moving completly. Grian sighed continuing to stuff idems in his inventory. "Scar, release me" Grian looks over his shoulder seeing the cheshire grin his teammate is wearing. "Fine fine" he chuckles backing away.
"Clingy much?" Grian comments "Just to you" Scar says fondly gaining a look from Grian "Because your soo squishy and cute" Scar flushes backing away. Grian rolls his eyes "come on Scar, lets go burn down a cookie" He smirks walking past Scar. Just like that Scar was on a whole new topic "No, i want to steal the cookie! then we can burn down the rest of the base!" he laughs following Grian out of the dessert tower out to cause chaos and destruction...
