Author's Note: New AU time? New AU time. We're jumping all the way back to Post Enderdragon fight/beginning Season 6 of Hermitcraft baby.
There seems to be something wrong here though. All I've got to say about this part is:
Ȗ̶͎̖h̴̜̪̭͂̏̃͗̕͜ͅ ̴̺̜͎͚̎͗̐o̸̘̎́̌̑̄h̴̢͙̬̞̯̔̔̃
Still, I hope you enjoy this little piece to this AU. I'm sure getting a good feeling from it. I mean, I've got maybe two other stories for it (technically speaking, I have one definite story, and the other one I'm thinking on what it should be).
Anyways,
Enjoy!

Netty's POV:
" How's your leg, Netty?" Martyn questioned in a soft whisper. I looked at him as my tail twitched, " It's fine, Martyn. It's just sprained from the fall... Remember, I landed in the water."
Martyn nodded slightly as I leaned back down in my cot.
It was strange. No, it wasn't just strange: it was downright bizarre at this point.
Normally, we'd all just be playing the game and not within it. Somehow, the Watchers have manipulated code itself and sucked all of us, including Tom and Mini, into the game world itself.
Speaking of Tom and Mini, the two were in the back of the makeshift cave and sleeping off what had happened earlier. My tail twitched as I now turned my head towards Zee as he started going through the game code.
" When were you able to do that?" Pearl questioned as she took a sip from her healing potion. Zee twitched slightly as he fixed his goggles, " Well...." Zee cleared his throat, " Before Grian was fully taken away from us by the Watchers, he sent me an encrypted message about memories and code." he answered in a tired voice.
My ears twitched as Zee pushed some buttons until some sort of letter appeared, " I've been trying to read this thing since we first woke up in New Spawn. Honestly, I haven't figured out any of it except for a small excerpt near the top."
Zee blinked a couple of times as he took his goggles off. Quickly, I stifled my gasp as I took immediate notice of the heavy bags underneath Zee's eyes. Just how long was he staring at Grian's message? Did he even sleep before we all set off to find the End portal?
My ears lowered slightly as I frowned.
" What does the excerpt say?" BigB piped up from the fire he was trying to start with Salem. Zee tiredly turned his head, " Uh... It talks about how I now hold power of the game's code: I'm the new admin of EVO..." he blinked.
The mustached builder blinked a couple of times, " I...I'm tired... That dragon took a lot out of me..." he yawned as his communicator shut off and with it the code he was analyzing. Before Zee could collapse to the stone ground, BigB quickly leapt into action and grabbed Zee in a tight embrace.
Everyone awake was mirroring the same worried expression, " Maybe we should all head to bed?" I suggested as the others nodded quietly.
With that, everyone settled down for the night and for the long journey to Spawn ahead. But before I went to sleep, there was something, besides my ankle, that was bugging me.
What did Zee mean by New Spawn?
((There's something in the air.... Six hours later.))
I woke up in the middle of the night. Or at least, that's what my communicator's telling me right now. It's roughly ten pm and the room was dead silently.
