Phantasm: An MCC Story

Chapter One: Wake up

Tommy felt wet grass under him, making his shirt feel damp. Though his eyes were closed, he could still feel the bright sun on his face. His whole body ached, but he forced himself to move, propping himself up on his elbows.

"TOMMY!" A voice yelled. It was one that Tommy knew all too well. He rubbed his head and opened his eyes, seeing precisely who he suspected the voice came from.

Tubbo.

Tubbo pulled him into a hug. "Thank God you're alright! I was so worried about you!"

Tommy pushed him away. "You're so clingy!" He straightened out his shirt as he processed what Tubbo looked like. "Wait...why do you have blond hair?" He looked back up at Tubbo, studying his wavy, blond hair. His eyes trailed down to Tubbo's green shirt, buttons put through the wrong holes. Tommy then looked at his own shirt, white with red sleeves. "What the hell?"

Tubbo pulled him to his feet. "None of us know what's going on. We are all slowly waking up." Over Tubbo's shoulder, he could see a few familiar faces gathered in a circle of panic. A man in a yellow sweater, another in clout goggles, and a man-fox hybrid were among all of the people Tommy had grown to know and love. Tubbo grabbed his hand and pulled him along. The closer they got, the more they could hear the ongoing conversation.

Fundy was staring at his black, fingerless gloves, tufts of hair sticking out all around it. While his hands appeared human at first, upon further inspection, he could make out claws. "I'm a fucking furry."

Wilbur was standing beside him, patting his back. "Hey, stay calm. I'm sure everything will be okay."

Fundy shook his head vigorously. "I can't hear you properly, Will. Something's wrong."

George reached up towards his hat, which had fox ears sticking out of it. "Maybe this is covering your ears?" When he pulled off the cap, the ears remained on his head. Two perfectly cut ear holes were carved into the top of the hat. George then looked back up and saw his ears twitching as Fundy moved. He moved his hand right in front of one of the ears and snapped, making Fundy flinch.

"HEY! THAT WAS LOUD!" Fundy covered his human ears as the fox ears continued moving.

George handed the hat back to him. "I think you're an animal, Fundy."

Fundy took the hat in his hands and squeezed it tightly. "This isn't good."

The three then noticed Tommy and Tubbo beside them. Wilbur gave Tommy a side hug. "How are you feeling?"

"Confused," Tommy admitted. "What's going on?"

George shrugged. "We are trying to figure that out too." He looked around. "Is there anyone else here yet?"

"MY HEAD IS A FUCKING BOX!" One voice yelled.

"LANGUAGE, SKEPPY!" Another voice yelled back. The small group exchanged quick, curious looks, then took off in the direction of the voices.

As they followed Skeppy's screams, Tommy noticed how odd their surroundings appeared. It was the Minecraft Championship hub. Everything from the hall holding the top ten to the wooden paths they were running on was the same as he remembered. The only difference was that things weren't as blocky as they usually were. Everything seemed to be realistically shaped. Had the texture of everything around him not been the same, he would've thought that he was still in the real world. But, he had to be in the real world. Waking up in the hub, dressed as his Minecraft skin, was the weirdest thing he has ever experienced. Had he not been curious to find everyone, he'd probably be panicking like Fundy was.

The group turned the corner to find a black figure with glowing eyes attempting to reason with a man in blue on the ground. It was Badboyhalo and Skeppy. Bad was dressed exactly like his skin as well, his skin being pitch black. Had it not been for his glowing white eyes and mouth, he could've been mistaken for a shadow in black and red clothing. When he noticed Tommy staring at him, he put his hood up to keep from scaring him. Skeppy was face down on the ground, struggling to get up. His head was replaced with a giant block of diamond. He wore a blue shirt and bright jeans. He sounded like he was in a lot of pain every time he moved.
