Code Corrosion - A Hermitcraft/MCSM/Evo Crossover

Chapter Two - Trees

A/N Sorry for the lack of updates! I hope you enjoy this next chapter  

————————————————

Iskall was searching for leaves for his Omega Tree of Doom. No matter how many leaves he collected, he always seemed to be out of them. He figured that collecting leaves by hand, though tedious, would be the most efficient way of getting them. 

Unfortunately, no matter where in the Hermitcraft world he traveled, he couldn't seem to find a single forest that hadn't been stripped of its leaves by the other hermits. He flew over thousands of blocks, but the only forests he could find that weren't bare were too close to a hermit's home to farm leaves from. Perhaps he could go buy some from Scar's terraforming shop.

His communicator beeped. Speaking of whom, it was a message from Scar. 

GoodTimeWithScar: Could someone please explain why the diamond throne is covered with obsidian?

Obsidian? Weird. 

Iskall85: Prank?

GoodTimeWithScar: Probably

Tango: Bet it was Grian

GoodTimeWithScar: Grian was this you?

Iskall put the communicator away even though it continued to beep. He figured that he didn't need to contribute to a conversation about a prank he wasn't involved in. Instead, he took out his rockets so he could fly to the shopping district to pick up the leaves from Scar's shop. 

He used up the first rocket to take off into the air, and he was soaring home in no time. 

Something dark appeared out of the corner of his eye. 

Startled, Iskall swiftly turned around. As he glided over the trees on his Elytra, he scanned the leaves for the dark shape.

Wait-

The trees had leaves?!

The trees that had been bare a minute ago were full of leaves! Had Iskall gone insane or had he somehow managed to get to different forest without paying attention? For all he knew, it could be both. 

One thing was for certain: Iskall was thoroughly confused. 

He decided that it was probably the result of some bug on the server. He'd have to chat about that with Xisuma later. 

Well, at least he'd found leaves! He pulled out a shulker box and a pair of shears and started collecting them.

Meanwhile

Xisuma let out a frustrated grunt. He was at his base doing his daily maintenance check on the Hermitcraft world code, and somehow there was a new encrypted file. No matter what he did, he couldn't get it to open or even figure out what it was!

He definitely felt like a derp for not being able to figure it out. 

He tried typing another command into his communicator. The stupid file still wouldn't open, and he was getting a migraine from staring at the screen for so long! Angry, he plopped down onto his bed, dropping the communicator on the floor. 

So he wasn't looking when the encrypted file opened, let out a string of Galactic text, and disappeared. 

And somewhere else on the Hermitcraft server, several strangers appeared. 

A/N lol, that happened. I was definitely not planning on switching to Xisuma's POV at the end of the chapter, but I guess it turned out okay. I'll try to update more frequently, though I doubt many people are that interested in the story XD. And I'd love to see theories about what's going on!!!

Also, in the middle of writing this I accidentally published it. So, sorry about that I guess.
