Tubbo walks out of his house and onto a small pathway, walking by multiple other people's houses, and sees Pili also coming out of his house.
Tubbo waves and says "hi, Pili, how are you doing today"
Pili responds "I'm doing good. I just got up How about you?" Pili then looks to the house next to him, belonging to someone named Pangi
"Have you seen him recently." Pili asks
Tubbos’ eyes follow to where Pili is looking and says "Now that I think about it, I haven't seen him in a bit, which is odd. Usually, I would have seen Pangi recently, and now that I think about it, I haven't seen Derapchu Zam Clown or Ash in a while either."
"I figured Ash was just hanging out over by Sneeg and Phil's area," Pili said
"You would think with how many times Ash has gotten into trouble with Sneeg for breaking his stuff," Tubbo said
"But he hasn't," Pili said
"Yeah, at least as far as I know," Tubbo replied
"Well, they are probably ok, whatever they are doing," Pili said
"Oh yeah, no, they are probably doing well, whatever they are doing," Tubbo said
Tubbo and Pili continue to chat about other things while walking, when they see Phil flying over with his trident, Tubbo excuses himself, apologizing to Pili because he needs to chat with Phil.
"Hey Phil," Tubbo says to Phil as he comes up to where Phil landed
"Oh, hi Tubbo, what's up?" Phil said
"Have you seen Ash, Pangi, or any of that group recently?" Tubbo asked
"No, I haven't. Is there a problem?" Phil answered
"No, not really, just no one has seen them in a bit, so I'm trying to figure out where they went," Tubbo replied
"Do you have any idea where they went?" Phil asked
"I think I do, but I'm not sure, so I'm not going to say it until I know for sure," Tubbo said
"Since they have the ability to log out of this world, have you thought to check their beds to see if they have just done that" phil asked
"Oh yeah, I didn't think about that, I forgot that there is a way to tell if they do that, thanks for the reminder." Tubbo said
"Of course, it's nothing. I realize people forget there is a way to check if they don't know how it works," Phil replies
"If they did log out, it means my hunch on where they are is true, but I'm going to check with one more person first, hoping I can find him." Tubbo said
"Is it lukey?" Phil asks
"Yes, how did you know" Tubbo said
"Look behind you," Phil said
"Oh, you're looking for me, Tubbo. Is there a problem?" Lukey said, causing Tubbo to jump and turn around to see the person he was looking for
"No, there is no problem. I just wanted to ask you something, have you seen Pangi in a bit?" Tubbo asked
"Not in at least a week, he told me he had something else to take care of on another server." Lukey answered
"Oh, well, would you know what server that is, Lukey" Tubbo asked
"Sorry Tubbo, that is something pangi is very secretive about, so I have no idea, sorry I can’t help," lukey replied
"Thats cool" Tubbo said
Tubbo ends up doing some level grinding the rest of the day and then finally goes to bed for the night.
Tubbo wakes up the next morning extra early and decides to get up and check on something Phil reminded him about the day prior, even though lukey already confirmed it.
Tubbo walks over to Pangi's house and peeks in his house and sees the pangolin sleeping with a slight transparency to him. He also sees the Pangolin's certain yellow-haired friend in his house, sleeping on Pangi's couch, with a slight transparency to him as well.
"Oh well, ain't that a sight," Tubbo said out loud, thinking no one was around
"Aww, that's so cute," Tubbo hears Pili say
"Oh, hi, Pili." Tubbo said, now noticing the cat was there
"Hi Tubbo, were you checking on Pangi?" Pili asked
"Yeah, Phil reminded me this was a thing, so I thought I would check it out," Tubbo said
"Were you planning on going to the others as well?" Pili asked
"Yeah, even if they happen to be on another server currently, I just want to make sure they are ok her.e" Tubbo replied
"Oh, that makes sense. Can I join you if you want me to? Of course, I’m not forcing you to, I just want." Pili said, trailing off
"If you want to follow, just follow me. I don’t care if you have a reason for why." Tubbo replied
"Thank you, Tubbo." Pili said, and the two started looking around for the others, starting with a certain yellow team faction member named clownpierce
The cat and the admin stop at the base of Clowns' tower and climb up to his bedroom on the top floor
They peek through the trapped door and see a slightly translucent sleeping Clownpierce
"So that means they aren't actually here, they are somewhere else when they look translucent, I mean." Pili asked
"Yep, that's what it means." Tubbo answered
"I thought so, I was just making sure I was right." pili said
They also find a sleeping derapchu after they leave derapchu
"And you know what, there is one more person I want to check on as well, just to see." tubbo said to no one in particular
"Alright," pili questioned, wondering who Tubbo is talking about.
Tubbo leads pili over to another small house, and Tubbo peeks through a window and sees exactly who he was hoping to see asleep.
He feels pili peek over his shoulder, "wait, why were we checking on Hannah"
"Well, I may have accidentally overheard a conversation between Hannah Zam and Pangi about something I probably shouldn't have, that might be a slight bit related to why they are all missing right now, I think. At least." Tubbo explained
"Oh, ok, now to go find Ash then." pili said
"Ash is the one I'm the most worried about with how long they all have been logged off the server, because Ash has an annoying habit of just logging out in the middle of a field like an idiot," Tubbo explained.
"Wait, really." pili said
"Yes, it's really annoying. The keepers have found his translucent sleeping ass in the weirdest of places," Tubbo replied
"So he could be anywhere right now," pili said, realizing exactly what Tubbo is saying.
"Pretty much, I'm asking to see if there is a keeper available to help us with finding ash." Tubbo said typing on his coms, he gets his response right away
"Wait, what? They know where he is, but they can't move him for some reason," Tubbo said, confused.
"Wait, really, why?" Pili asked
"I don't know, they are refusing to tell me." Tubbo replied, confused.
"Should we go and see what's wrong." Pili asks
"Yeah, I just got the cords off the keepers, so yeah, let's go check this out, Pili." Tubbo said
"Should we have other people go with us, like Phil and Lukey?" Pili asked
"Yeah, it would be safer to go as a group and not just the two of us. Let's go find Lukey and Phil." Tubbo answered
They start heading to the cords the keepers gave them, picking up Lukey at spawn and Phil at his and Sneeg's mushroom island because it's in the same direction.
"So they did all log out," Phil said after Tubbo and Pili explained what they had been doing to Lukey and Phil.
"Turns out you were right on that Phil" Tubbo said
"And now we're going to see what the heck is making it so the keepers can't teleport Ash back to spawn," Phil said.
"Wait, they can't teleport Ash to spawn. Why isn't it just like a command?" Lukey said, confused.
"With Ash, it's not that easy. Have you guys properly met Ash before, aside from his first day on the server?" Tubbo asks
"No." Lukey said
"I think sneeg has, but I haven't." Phil replied
"Nope, I didn't even meet him on his first day, I just have heard pangi mention him before" Pili said
"Alright, well, that doesn't help, but there is a very good reason they can't just teleport him normally," Tubbo said
"Eh, um, alright," Phil said, confused
"How much longer," Lukey asked five minutes later
"Only a couple 100 more blocks," Tubbo said
"Alright." Lukey said
Once they get 100 blocks away, they come out to a plains biome and see ash in the middle of the biome and immediately see why the keepers couldn't teleport ash.
"Holy crap, what is that." Phil said, seeing what is a crack between servers just in the middle of the field
"Um, should we be worried." Pili asked, looking at Tubbo
Tubbo just stares at it
He also sees Ash's body glitching out a lot more than normal
"Ash, I swear to god," Tubbo said
Phil, Pili, and Lukey all look at him when he says that
"Wait, did Ash somehow do that?" Pili asked
"Yeah, Ash is a glitchlin. He has the ability to create portals between servers at will," Tubbo explained.
"So that is a portal to another server," Lukey said
"Yep, and I assume it's the other server that our friends are on right now," Tubbo said
"Did he forget to close it or something?" Pili asked
"Probably did." Tubbo said
"Someone should probably go through and tell him." Phil said
"Yeah, 100%" Tubbo said
The portal, as if able to hear him, tries to drag Tubbo through.
"What the fuck," Phil said, grabbing onto Tubbo to prevent him from being dragged into the portal, but it slowly grabs all four of them and drags all four of them into the portal.

Right before they get pulled through the portal
"Clown, stop, please stop," Pangi says in desperation as Clown is chasing him.
"Where's the fun in that." Clown replied with a cheeky smile
Chat then pings, and they both ignore it, but then they keep getting pinged and pangi pops a chores fruit to allow himself to get away from clown for a bit and check the messages, and a wave of dreads just comes over him as he reads all the messages coming through
"Found you, Clown," said finding Pangi
Pangi does nothing, making Clown confused
"Uh, Pangi, you good?" Clown asks
"Look at the chat" Pangi replied
Clown looks at the chat and sees
Tubbo joined the server
Philza joined the server
Dtowncat joined the server
Lukey joined the server
"Oh no," Clown said, realizing what possibly happened and what's about to happen now.
"Yeah, Hannah just sent me a private message that our group needs to talk."
"Alright, where to?" Clown said, swapping his chestplate for his elytra
"Follow me," Pangi said, doing the same as Clown
As they come up to the cords, Zam also arrives
"Alright, any bets this is entirely Ash's fault," Zam said as he landed at the meeting spot, and sees Ash, Pangi, and Clown are the only ones not here
"Oh, there is no doubt about it, this is inherently Ash's fault, a hundred percent," Hannah said
"So we're going to confront Ash about it," Derap asked
"Yeah, a hundred percent," Hannah replied. Clown and Pangi then arrive together
"All we are waiting for is Ash, then." Pangi said
Ash then appears next to Zam with a sharp buzz of him teleporting, "so uh yeah, I think this is my fault."
"We know Ash." Derap said
"Yeah, we kind of already figured that out, Ash." Hannah added
"So what's the plan?" Ash asked
"Well, Tubbo’s an interesting case, him being here, I mean," Zam said
"Wait, what do you mean?" Derap said confused
"Oh, that's right, I remember him talking about that." Hannah replied
"Yeah, so Mappic and Bacon know him, Minute on the other hand, probably not," Zam said
"Oh, right, I guess Tubbo does know like half of us on here," Clown said
"Am I the only one here who doesn’t know what you all are talking about?" Derap said
"Tubbo came on as a guest way back during season 3 of the server, that's what we're referencing right now," Clown explained
"Oh, alright, I didn’t know that," Derap replied
"Yeah, but we should probably go find our friends, right?" Pangi said
"Oh yeah, probably." Zam said
The group then all goes to spawn, where quite a few confused Lifestealers are wondering what the heck is going on.
"Wait, so you all know Tubbo but not the other three," Ecoriddor said, very confused about the whole ordeal.
"Wait, you guys all know Tubbo" Pentar said, also confused
"I don’t know him," Minute said
"We do." Mappic, and Bacon both say
"I mean, I have heard of Tubbo before and Philza, but have never actually met them," Squiddo said
"I mean, yeah, who hasn’t heard of those two before, but still, how did they get here in the first place" Pentar replied
"Uh, that part I can explain," Ash said as he and the rest of the group finally got to spawn.
They all look over and see Phil being very confused, Tubbo trying to comfort a scared cat, and Lukey being freaked out.
Pangi goes over to Pili and starts petting the scared cat's head to calm him down.
"Oh hey Hannah," Phil said, seeing at least someone he recognizes
"Hi Phil, hi Tubbo," Hannah said
"Ash, what did you do?" Minute asked
"So, how exactly do I explain this, hmm, well, I can make a portal between servers," Ash answered
"That's true," Pangi said, looking up from Pili
"And I may have accidentally left one open on." Ash adds
"Wait, since when could you do that?" Bacon asked
"Uh, since like forever, I have always been able to do it," Ash says
"Wait, what" Spoke said, confused, "if I had known that, it would have made the wormhole so much easier."
"Spoke!" almost all of the lifestealers that were on the server at the time of that happening, say
"What I’m just saying," Spoke said, "I mean, I already knew Ash can just straight up teleport around, but I didn’t know about that."
"Wait, Ash, you can do what." Minute said
"Thanks a lot, Spoke." Ash said, annoyed
"Yes, I can don’t look into it too much. I don’t abuse it, obviously, as no one knew about it if I did, you all would know about it already," Ash added
"Alright, we will talk about that more later, but Ash, can you send them back or not" Minute says
Ash’s hand glitches a bit and then goes back to normal, and he says
"Um, not exactly. If they had gotten forced through the portal, yes, I could easily, but since they didn’t, I can’t exactly do that easily at least"
"Wait, they weren’t forced through, I thought you said." Zam starts
"I didn’t say anything about that, I just said it was my fault," Ash said
"Oh, sorry, I thought you had said they were forced through," Zam said
"Zam, I have no idea where you got that idea from because he definitely didn't say anything about that." Derap replied
"I wasn't fully paying attention, not my fault, ok," Zam said
Tubbo then coughs to get everyone's attention and asks "So, when can you send us back Ash."
"Uh, yeah, so I can't send you all back until the end of the season," Ash said
"oh." Tubbo said
"Mhm, sorry, Tubbo," Ash replied
"Well, crap," Tubbo said
"I will keep pili with me if you're ok with that, Tubbo." Pangi asked
"Yeah, you seem to know how to calm him down better than anyone, so you two can hang out," Tubbo answered
"Thank you, tubbo," Pangi said
Pangi then gives pili an elytra, and the two go off to chill out for a bit
At the same time
"Ash, we need to have a chat." Minute said
"I knew this was going to happen at some point, so I'm ready. Let's get this over with." Ash said with a sigh.
Ash Mappic and Minute then go off to chat about Ash's abilities that no one but Spoke knew about until today.
All the other lifestealers go back to whatever they were doing before leaving, just Clown Hannah, Derapchu, and Zam with Phil Tubbo and Lukey.
"So you guys want a tour of the server." Hannah asked
"Yeah, sure, that would be nice to see what kind of chaos you all have caused this season," Tubbo said
"Oh, shut up Tubbo." Zam said
"You and clown know exactly why I say that," Tubbo replied
"Oh, that also, uh, sorry for death banning you that day," Clown said
"No hard feelings, Clown. It was great content, so it's chill," Tubbo said
"Great." Clown replied
"Alright, well, let's get started on what there is to show," Hannah said
After the tour
"I'm going to go find Pangi again." Lukey said
"I'm going to go introduce Phil to some people on here if Phil's ok with that." Tubbo said
"Sure, I guess I am." Phil answered
"Alright, well, let's go find Spoke to start then." Tubbo adds
"I feel like maybe we should keep an eye on them." Clown said
"Yeah, probably right, Pangi already has Pili and Lukey, so I guess I can take Tubbo and Phil as I know them the best" Hannah replied
At the end of the season
"Well, that's the season," Minute said with a laugh over how it ended
Ash then comes over to the realmers and says "So would you guys like to go back now"
"Yes, please." Lukey said
"Yep." Tubbo said
"Definitely." Phil replied
"Uh, I guess." Pili said
"Is it weird that I actually had fun?" Pili added
"Not at all, Pili, I would know," Tubbo replied
"So it's not weird for me to ask if I can come back properly next season," Pili said
"Pili, you want to come back?" Clown said
"Yeah, I kind of do." Pili said
"We would love to have you back." Minute replied
"Thank you, minute." Pili said
"Ash, send us back," Pili said
"With pleasure," Ash replied. Ash's hand glitches out a bit, and then a portal similar to the one they entered through appears.
And the first three voluntarily step through
And pili adds before stepping through
"See you all next season."
And then steps through
Ash then turns to Pangi, Clown Derapchu, Hannah, and Zam
"You guys want to use it too, or can I close it."
The minute Ash offers, Pangi runs right into the portal
"Guess I'm going in, too." Zam said and hops through the portal as well
Ash then asks again "You guys going or no."
"nah, I have other things to do." Clown said
"Yeah, same," Hannah said
"I need to have a meeting with Wolfeei," Hannah explains
"Derap" Ash said
"I'm just going to go on my own," Derapchu said
"Alright," Ash said his hand glitches again, and the portal closes
"there." Ash said

the realmsmp
Tubbo Phil Lukey and Pili get thrown out of the portal and land on the ground
"That hurt." Tubbo said
"Great ash, that hurts." Pili said looking at the still sleeping ash
"Looks like Pangi and zam are on as well now." Tubbo said looking at his admin menus to make sure nothing happened while they were gone
"Oh cool." Phil said
A few hours later back at spawn
"Seems like you guys had quite the adventure." Foolish said
"Yeah, we did i definitely made a few new friends while there." Phil said
"Literally just sb737" tubbo said
"Yeah true enough" Phil said
"And I'm now apart of that server" Pili said
"I got to meet all the new members since I was last on which was nice" Tubbo said
"can't wait to see what you get up to on the server Pili" Tubbo added
"Thank you, I'm so excited." pili said
After about 10 minutes of talking about Phil Tubbo Lukey and Pilis' adventure everyone leaves to go back to what they were doing
