[┅] Journey of the Exiled (HC and DSMP Crossover)

Chapter 3.

(This is all over the place dang it. *wheeze* apologies for the trash pacing lol)

"Evil X, you know I can't take him. The process is tedious and takes eons," the bee-man said. Tommy narrowed his eyes at EX. The guy's name was Evil X? Not some two letters? He was right on the verge of reconsidering who he trusts.

In response to his look-alike, EX rolled his eyes. "Not all the Hermits agreed on letting me stay. Not even you, and we're related. Though, of course, you've never liked me anyways."

"Don't you go putting words in my mouth, now."

"Still doesn't invalidate the fact that no one agreed to let me stay and yet, I've been here for years."

The other crossed his arms. "You weren't invited in the first place, you broke in."

"You could have just banned me away from the start," EX somehow monotoned smugly. The yellow clad player shook his head silently, the LED lights in his visor closing exasperatedly.

Despite EX's smug tone, Tommy's heart dropped. This guy in stupid bee-themed armor banned EX? Nevermind what EX did to get himself banned, the other could only be the Admin of the server. Like Dream had been on the SMP. The person with the most power on the server that is definitely abuseable, and one that the normal players couldn't stop even if they wanted to.

He had all the power and can could use it against Tommy at a moment's notice.

As if he knew Tommy was tense towards him, the bee-man (he had to get a name soon, referring to him as 'bee-man' would get old soon) sighed and regarded him with a judgmental air, looking him up and down as if trying to get each and every one of his secrets. Tommy froze up, for some reason he didn't know. Maybe it reminded him of Dream figuring out a way to get on his side and succeeding to befriend him only to blow up all of his progress. He may have been his friend, but he saw through half of his plans. Or, at least what the thought were Dream's plans...

"I can't take him in, Evil X. Not right now." Thank goodness he didn't say anything else about him.

"You accepted xB when he was thirteen, Xisuma. You took in Iskall after he was sent to assassinate you. Keralis came to you and you let him join right then and there. Why can you take Tommy in?" EX said, which made the other--whose name is probably Xisuma--turn to him again. "You take in everyone who needs the help."

"I'm not going to ask why you know that, but I can't force anyone to join against their will! Does he even want to be here?" He sounded exasperated and irritated, which, to Tommy's judgment, was completely fair.

EX shrugged. "Probably not."

He was right.

"Plus," Xisuma continued, "the other Hermits have to put in a good word and agree to let him stay. We can't do that right now, not everyone is on." 

The red clad player turned to Tommy. "Aren't you in like, Minecraft Tournaments or something of the like?"

"Championships," Tommy grumbled.

"Yes, that. The Hermits compete in that too, I'm sure they can say something, right?"

Tommy only shrugged. It's not like he said anything to the Hermits, he was too busy targeting Techno and Dream to get possible videos.

"Evil X, how do you know these things?" Xisuma asked

"The Void is boring, Xisuma. I need to keep myself busy so I browse the internet for random stuff." EX shook his head. "Back to the matter at hand, Tommy can't be in the Void. If it doesn't kill him itself, he'll die of boredom. Being here is better for the kid."
