Hermitcraft angst and :(

On Death's Doorstep

Hello! This one is set in season 6 because I wrote it quite a while back. Hope you enjoy! (Tw, Vomit, Blood, medical procedures, Gross things)

Evil Xisuma was on a spree of destruction and Xisuma Void was determined to stop him. He and a few hermits, specifically, Stress, Doc, Ren, Scar and False, were going to his hideout. They were going to stop him once and for all even if that meant locking him up or killing him.

When they arrived, Xisuma lead the way inside. "You guys follow my lead exactly. He could have changed the traps since last time, but this is still our best bet." Whispered X as he walked into the large door. They all stepped on the exact place he stepped, and they got through the trap corridor. When they walked into the main hall, they heard "Well, well, well." Suddenly, large bars dropped from the ceiling, separating Xisuma from the rest of the group. X drew his sword as Evil Xisuma, his brother, strutted up to him. "Are you really that foolish brother? You brought your friends here? Maybe you know how much I would like some toys to play with" Xisuma Void readied his sword and said in a shaky voice, "I won't let you hurt them."

They started fighting and Evil X quickly got the upper hand. He gave Xisuma a rattling punch to the stomach and threw him to the side. Xisuma cried out in pain as he landed on his ankle, which now seem to be broken. Nevertheless, he picked up his sword and continued fighting. He managed to break Evil X's nose but was quickly grabbed. "Oh brother, you have always known I am stronger." He stuck Xisuma's own sword into his arm, making X cry out in pain. "Hopefully, one day you will learn. Unless you die before that!" He finished with a spit. He made a huge gash in his arm and threw him back again. This time, Xisuma didn't get back up.

"X!" Shouted Scar. "X, you have to get up!" Xisuma tried to prop himself up but his arms gave out. "Well, he doesn't need to get up for my next experiment. I am going to use my machine to send you millions of blocks away, where your friends will never find you!" Said Evil Xisuma as he pressed some buttons on a whirring machine. "No!" Shouted False with a quivering voice, tears running down her face, "You won't get away with this!" "Oh really? Because I think I just did" He said, as he pushed a big red button. The group of six was sent through some sort of cosmic gateway and then landed on a large, uninhabited, island.

"X!" Shouted Doc, as soon as he landed on the island. All the items in his inventory has been removed, along with his elytra and armour. He stood up and started running to find Xisuma. Doc found him sitting, leaning against a tree. He looked very pale and was drifting in and out of consciousness. "D-doc." He said. It was barely a whisper "Doc, you need to f-find iron and redstone. Make a m-map and some b-boats. Get you and the rest of the hermits back h-home. L-leave me here. I won't m-make it." "No! Don't say that! You will make it. I won't leave without you." Replied Doc quietly, yet forcefully. "Thank you." Replied X as he drifted out of consciousness.

All the hermits gathered around Doc as he assigned jobs. "Ren find water. Memorise the path from here to there and come back. Scar go kill some sheep. We will need all the wool we can for beds and bandages. False, punch all the trees you can. Stress stay here, I need your help. Now, go!"

Stress quickly came to Xisuma's side and helped Doc lay him down flat. "Okay Stress, I need you to start looking over his arm." Doc ordered. Xisuma suddenly started puking so Stress rolled him onto his side. Then she realised, there was blood in his vomit. "Doc! I think he has internal bleeding!" Stress said, panicked. Doc rushed over and sure enough, he could see the symptoms. His breathing had gotten shallow and his side was swelling. "Stress listen to me. I need you to get me a lily of the valley and a red mushroom as quick as you can." Said Doc, very quickly. Stress nodded and rushed off.

Doc started addressing X's other wounds while Stress was gone. Scar had come back for a few seconds to drop off some wool that Doc could use for bandages. He wrapped up Xisuma's arm and splinted his ankle. Soon Stress came back so he could stop the internal bleeding. He mashed the two plants together and put half on the outside and fed the other half to X. His breathing slowed and he seemed to relax.

Just then, the rest of the hermits came back.

"I found a small lake," Said Ren, out of breath from running. "So, I went and got everyone else."

"Okay," Replied Doc worriedly. "Now we just have to get Xisuma there. How far is it?"

"Not that far." Confirmed Ren. As they were talking about possible ways of transporting him, X slowly drifted into consciousness.

"D-Doc?" Said Xisuma. His voice was very raspy and quiet. "Oh! X, we need to get you to our new base camp. Do you think you could hold on if you rode on my back?" Whispered Doc. Xisuma slowly sat up and nodded weakly. Ren and Scar helped X get on to his back and then they started the short walk to the lake.

Once they got there, Xisuma was wheezing. "Doc, i-it hurts so b-bad." He stuttered.

"I know, I know. We are here now. Don't worry." Replied Doc comfortingly. "Can someone set up a bed please?" Scar rushed over and placed one down near the makeshift campfire. Doc slowly lowered him onto it and draped a thin wool blanket over him. "Just sleep, X. Everything will be fine." Said Doc as Xisuma closed his eyes. "We start mining tomorrow." Doc announced to the rest of the hermits. "We need to get off this island."
