Hermitcraft and Empires Oneshots

Fire (Tango)

Tango P.O.V.

The server was being overrun with mobs. A glitch in the code had changed the world into some ultimate game mode, and more were spawning left and right, more commonly with iron and diamond armor. Xisuma had gathered all the hermits into one spot, but even lights couldn't hold off the spawning, so mobs would spawn wherever players were far enough away.

Many of the hermits were outside, fighting. Most of the better PVPers, such as Wels, Doc, False, Iskall, Etho, and Grian were fighting the mobs. Others were inside healing whoever got hurt, those people included Stress, Joe, and Cub. Most of the other hermits, such as me, were trying to help outsourced we could.

And then there was ZombieCleo, who looked to be trying to communicate with the zombies to call them off. It worked for some, but not for all. I was panicking, and unwanted memories were surfacing in my mind. You see, I was a demon. Though I kept it a secret, and the hermits didn't know that. More specifically though, I was a fire demon. I could control fire, start fires in this air, and put fires out. Though I had some trouble with the last thing.

the memories that flooded my mind were harsh and horrible. Things I had buried far beneath in my mind to never see the light of day again. It was my days before I was kicked out of hell. Though many people believe the nether is hell, it is actually more of a surface branch. The connection between hell and earth. I was kicked out of hell because I was unwilling to commit murder for one of the head demons. I was placed right into the nether, but was far from prepared for what was to come for me.

I was always running, simply trying to survive. And one day, I was completely surrounded by mobs. Ghasts and blazes in the air, wither skeletons, skeletons, magma cubes, piglins, and endermen on the ground. It was horrible, I was surrounded on all sides by danger, and I thought I was going to die. Suddenly, my powers went into survival mode. Fire flooded out of every pore in my body. Screams of pain of all walks of nether life rose from the blaze.

The screaming bore its way through my mind, making it even more startling when a new scream flooded my mind. A human scream worked its way through my head, horrible and agonizing. I tried to make my fire stop, make the blaze cease. I did, eventually. I was exhausted, my energy reserves drained further than they ever had before.

Everything around me was burnt to a crisp. I tried desperately to search for some thing still moving. The body of the human that had screamed. There was nothing. Everything was either ashes or charred ground. I had killed someone. Possibly even someone I used to know when I was human.

I broke down then. Even though my mind was ripped to shreds with guilt, my survival instinct was still there. I made my way to the small shelter I had created, before completely breaking down. I sat there and sobbed, overwhelmed with guilt and exhaustion.

I had laid on the floor for hours just crying, before I had heard footsteps. I slowly lifted my head to see. And it was Zedaph, though I didnt know that at the time. I passed out from exhaustion once Zedaph started to approach me, and some up in hermitcraft. I don't care if Zedaph came to hermitcraft after Tango in reality, let's just say this is an AU.

I was snapped out of my reverie when the doors burst open, and in came Wels and Etho, both bleeding heavily and supporting each other. Cub helped support them into pre prepared beds while Stress and Joe prepared healing supplies. The rest of us were very worried about what was happening out there that took down Etho and Wels. What was worse, was when Iskall and False came in in worse shape than Etho and Wels.

At this point I was wondering if I would have to go out there and expose myself. It looked like things were getting had out there and Xisuma was still puzzling over what was wrong in the code. He had even called Hypno, who he had been joint admin with in season 2, over to try and help him. Obviously things were not going well, both with fixing the problem and handling the mobs outside. Even a few of the beaver hermits who were not fighters, such as Keralis, Xb, Bdubs, ZombieCleo, and a couple more.
