"So, to sum it up, you guys found out that Jim's dating a starborne who's being hunted down by unknown beings of a higher power that could possibly be Watchers?" Fwhip asked, looking around at the others at the table.

Joel nodded. "Yup, that's about it."

"Amazing." The goblin deadpanned. "Time to add that to the list of world-demolishing secrets hidden in this SMP." Fwhip got to his feet, gesturing for them to follow him. Jimmy glanced around, checking who was here to help.

Katherine hefted her axe over her shoulder as she followed the admin, and Shelby crept after her nervously, holding on tight to her wand. Oli cheerily hopped along with his lute, not taking in the seriousness of the situation. Behind the little bard was Gem, her warm glow and graceful wings helping to calm the sheriff's nerves.

Jimmy slowed his walk a little to be next to her while Fwhip led the group to the world spawn. "Hey, Gem, could I ask something of you?"

She glanced at him, cocking an eyebrow. "I mean, that depends, what is it?"

"Well, we're going to go find Scott, and I don't think he's okay in the head right now. He was so tense and fearful, and he didn't make any jokes or flirt with someone like he usually does... He just- It felt wrong. I wanted to ask if you could use some of your power for a calming spell or something like that. Please?" He finally ended his little ramble, looking up into her amber eyes hopefully.

Gem smiled softly. "Yeah, of course! That's a pretty simple charm, I think I can do that for you." Jimmy returned the smile, murmuring his thanks and catching up to Fwhip at the front, who had just reached spawn.

The admin stood dead center, getting everyone to form a rough circle around him. Jimmy looked around their little group nervously. What's happening now?

"The worldspawn is always a point of extremely concentrated power, where I can easily access the code." Fwhip told them, summoning his admin screens "I'm going to dig around as much as I can into Scott's code while displaying it for you guys to see. I can't really see much into his files without him being here and without his consent, but I can look for his location." The group around him all nodded. "Alrighty then! Ready?"

A chorus of "Yep"s rang out through the circle. The admin smiled in response, closing his eyes and letting himself sink into code, his green glowing screens spinning slowly around him.

-Time Skip-

It was nearing night by the time the emperors finally reached the mountain that Scott's signal was coming from. At this point, they didn't need a signal or coordinates. It was very obvious where he was.

Chunks of rock and other debris flew off of the peaks as the group stared up in awe. The mountain had split in half, glowing brightly at its summit. The sky itself had huge cracks seemingly appearing straight out of thin air, inside of which were huge, white, glaring, eyes.

There was a shocked silence before Fwhip sprung into action. "Okay, listen up guys, I need Gem, Shelby, and er... Jimmy? Sure. Anyways, you guys get up there. I'll follow you up in a bit. The rest of you, come with me."

Wait, me? Jimmy was shaken out of his thoughts. ACK- Wait up! He quickly followed Gem and Shelby up the stony side of the mountain, flapping his feathered wings furiously as he flew.
