Hermitcraft angst and :(

Oh no building go collapse (bthb)

Hi again! I got some great ideas for some next chapters that include other hermits! here one more Xisuma one for now. also, workong on writing and animating an Xisuma Au. ill be posting it here soon. ill make a new book, so look out for it! anyway, enjoy! (tw: trapped under rubble idk not much)

W-why did it collapse? This was Xisuma's thoughts as he awoke. A while ago, X had been in the concrete shop, finishing a few things off. Suddenly, the building started shuttering. Rubble came flying down for the ceiling as the building caved in, with Xisuma inside. He was buried under tons of heavy rocks. One knocked him out as he was covered.

When he came to, everything hurt. He didn't know how long it had been, but he did know that he couldn't see anything. His head was protected in a cave like area of rubble. His legs were being crushed under the heavy stone. The pain felt like fire running up his body, and it would probably feel worse once the adrenaline wore off.

Xisuma tried screaming for help, but doubted anyone could hear him. The pain was starting to get so bad that he couldn't think straight. No one knew he was in here. He didn't know if there was anyone in the cowmercial island, and worried how long it would take the hermits to find him, if they ever did.

Anxious thoughts filled his brain. He thought he was going to die. His breathing quickened and his chest got tight. The darkness surrounded him and started to close in. He tried to wiggle away from the dark thoughts, but instead shifted the rubble. It started pressing even more in his legs. Xisuma cried out in pain.

He heard muffled taking. By the accent, it sounded like Iskall! Tears filled his eyes. He started screaming as loud as he could, doing anything he could for Iskall to hear him. He heard nothing. He started crying harder.

"Iskall!!" He screamed at the top of his lungs. He heard silence, then a muffled shout.

"Xisuma! It's going to be okay! We'll get you out!" Xisuma was so happy, the crying turned into bawling. The hermits above stated carefully digging towards X. The rubble shifted once in a while, at one point pinning Xisuma's arm to the ground. He let out a small yelp of pain, but didn't say anymore. He couldn't let the hermits stop digging just because he was hurting a bit.

When a small pillar of light broke though the stone, X let out a pained sigh of relief. Nevertheless, he was still absolutely terrified. He was shaking and crying. When Stress came down to help get him out, he tried to get away from her, causing himself more pain. He thought that if someone tried to touch him and help, everything would collapse. The adrenaline had blurred his rational thinking, along with shock altering his vision.

Stress and now Tango, carefully dug him out of the rubble, immediately stopping at any sign of pain. Xisuma shaking didn't help with the safe extraction, with him ratting the pebbles and debris around him.

Once clear, Tango carefully picked him up, bridal style, and carried him to stable ground. Immediately, Stress, Doc and Cub all rushes in to check for injuries. Stress mainly was just trying to keep X awake.

"Ay 'tress." Xisuma said groggily, still shaking but starting to lose consciousness.

"Hey luv, how ya feeling?"

"I think imma 'ake a nap" X slurred.

"No! You need to stay awake for me, hun. Just look at me and don't close your eyes." Stress grabbed Xisuma's hand and held it tightly.

"But it's jus' for a minute." X said all puppy eyed.

"Very cute sweetie, but not now okay? Just focus on me."

While this was all happening, Doc and Cub were searching for wounds. Immediately, Cub noticed a large piece of metal sticking out of Xisuma's leg. He altered Doc and set to work. They checked to see if it hit bone, which it hadn't, luckily. Doc held the leg in place, while Cub gingerly pulled the shrapnel. As soon as it came out, Doc put pressure on the wound to stop the profuse bleeding. Doc could see that X was losing consciousness, despite Stress' best attempts.

The pain was too much for Xisuma, and he lost consciousness. The moment he closed his eyes, Stress started yelling commands at the other hermits. She told them to go get medical supplies, and to get a bed ready for Xisuma. The hermits rushes frantically to keep their admin alive. Iskall set up a bed in his tree, it being the place with the most medical equipment. Tango hurried over with the rest of it from his base.

As soon as all of X's life threatening injuries were taken care of, it was time to move him.

"I'll take him to the tree, you two go on ahead and get things ready." Doc said. Stress and Cub immediately took off while Doc was scooping up Xisuma. Doc carefully picked him up and slowly flew to the omega tree, Xisuma drifting in and out of consciousness on the way there. As Doc laid him down in a bed in one of the roots, X was conscious, but unresponsive. His eyes wandered around the ceiling, dazedly and confused.

"Suma?" Stress whispered gently. C have a small groan in response. "We're gonna hook you up to an iv, okay?" Closed his eyes for a few seconds, and then nodded.

A bit later, when Xisuma was hooked up to all the machines, Stress took his hand.

"How ya feelin' hun?" She asked. Xisuma let out a pained groan. "Oh luv, Doc will be back with some painkillers soon. It's just because your adrenaline finally wore off." X opened his mouth slowly, and then raspily said,

"It h-hurts so b-bad." Stress squeezed his hand tighter.

"Oh hun, well that would be because o d of you arms literally was crushed. Not to mention the shrapnel stuck in your broken legs." She said with a chuckle. Xisuma also have a soft laugh, though it hurt to do so.

"Can I 'ave a n-nap now 'tress?"

"Yes Suma, it's okay to nap now."

"Ok, n-night night." He said drowsily.

"Night luv." Stress said as she planted a kiss on his forehead. Xisuma looked peaceful. 

Aye, thanks for reading!
