《The Fallen Council》III

I raised my eyebrows in confusion and stood up from the ground. I had no idea what Sherenidy meant by that.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"That glitch was caused by a someone. And that someone is trying to break through the server's barrier. And I happen to recognize that someone's player code," Sherenidy explained, probably smirked, I couldn't really tell since she wasn't here.
"Who is that?" I asked.
"You'll see. When you get back we'll go meet that someone outside of Hermitcraft's barrier," She giggled.
"That's going to hurt," I grinned knowing how it felt to break through a full-secured barrier without anyone noticing.
Normal Watchers and admins couldn't do that at all but The Mains and Leads were able to do that, even though it was really hard and painful.
"I guess, but now I'll let you do whatever you were doing. See ya later!" Sherenidy said ending the call.
"Bye," I mumbled and then sighed.
I had no idea who that someone could be. Who would want to break through Hermitcraft's barrier and be someone we needed in our little group? I sighed and walked back to the meeting room to continue the meeting with Iskall and Mumbo.
Everything was so dark. Only pitch black void everywhere. It was cold, too cold, dark, too dark. How long had it been? Minutes? Days? Weeks? Months? Or even years? No one knew. They were going to die, that's what they knew.
A raven haired female sighed. She didn't like the void. It was uncomfortable and cold. It has always been her biggest fear and now she was stuck there with her loved ones. It was silenced, no one said anything. No one had wanted this... They had worked so hard to keep everyone safe...
Is this what we deserve?
We did EVERYTHING we could to keep everyone safe and this is what we get in return...
Did we deserve to die?
Was dying the only possible way?
But-
If it saves the people...
We are willing to die..
We only think about what's best for our people.
The female looked around to see her loved ones. They were all just floating in the dark emptiness. There was nothing to do anymore. They were going to die. No way out. No one could save them from this fate.
No one...
They were going to
I looked at my mentor, who was standing on top of my base. We were now in the older area and my older base. We had left Techno and Teni back to my 1.14 house.
"We can break through the barrier there," The female said pointing out a spot in the barrier.
I nodded. I was now in my Main Watcher form which involved my Watcher mask that. With the mask I was able to see many things that normal players or admins didn't even know that existed. The barrier was one of them. I could see the weak spot in the barrier, which was actually not weak at all but it was the weakest spot in the whole barrier.

"Are you ready?" The female turned to look at me.
"Yeah, should we go?" I asked nodding.
"Mmh, Xisuma or non of the admins won't even notice us when we do it. But it might cause a glitch that will most likely fuck up some redstone machines. But luckily people are going, hopefully, think that it's caused by redstone machines," She spoke out going through her admin screen one more time before closing it and turning to look at the barrier.
"Let's go then," I mumbled.
I spread my wings and flied to the barrier. I placed my hand on the invisible barrier and spoke out a strong spell. I felt a horrible pain as the barrier started to pull me through. It was slow and painful process but we didn't want to break the whole barrier, just unnoticeable broke through it without breaking it.
I finally got through and fell on top of the barrier as my wings gave up. I mumbled some swears as I breathed heavily. Breaking through a barrier took a lot of powers. Soon Sherenidy appeared next to me. She wasn't as badly exhausted as I was since she had done that many times before.
She handed me a potion, which I drank. The potion gave my energy back and I stood up.
"What now?" I asked looking around.
Sherenidy raised her metallic-hand and summoned purple flame. She let the flame grow bigger and bigger. I knew what she was doing. She was showing that we were there, calling that someone straight to us.
Then I saw a familiar figure. I was completely shocked to see that red armor. I though that he was gone, in the void with the rest of us. But no. There he was. In front of us.
"It's been a while hasn't it?" The figure smirked.
"Definitely, we thought that you were gone, ̇/ᒷリᒷ ̇/," Sherenidy answered to the figure.
"Nah, I was literally born in the void. I know how to get myself out of there. Sadly I can't help the others out by myself," He mumbled.
"We'll find a way to get them out of there," I joined the conversation.
"Mmh, but now we should go back to Hermitcraft. We're not safe on this side of the barrier," Sherenidy spoke out.
"Can we create a portal back to Hermitcraft?" I asked since now we had a place that we could actually put the portal.
"Hm, I guess..," Sherenidy mumbled thinking.
"I can do that since I'm Hermitcraft's Watcher, or at least I was before everything changed," I answered.
"Great!" Xenex smirked.
I smirked back and then summoned a portal. We all went through the portal, which lead us to my 1.14 house and I closed the portal behind us. As we fell through the portal I saw Techno and Teni standing in front of us.

"Is this now the newest member of our little group?" The Blade asked analyzing the armored male with his red eyes.
"Yes, this is ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ ꖎᒷᔑ↸ ∴ᔑℸ ̣ ᓵ⍑ᒷ∷
̇/ᒷリᒷ ̇/," I answered introduction my brother, The Lead Watcher Xenex, to Teni and Techno.
"It's a pleasure to meet you! My name is Teni," The sandy blonde Watcher gave a nod to the armored Lead Watcher.
"Pleasure to meet you too," Xenex nodded.
"And I am The Blade, Technoblade," Techno introduced himself.
"I've heard about you. It's a pleasure to meet you," Xenex nodded to Techno too.
"And now we have five members in our little group," Sherenidy mentioned leaning against the wall.
"I actually know one more person who could join us, but I know that you're not going to like the idea," Xenex spoke out with a serious tone moving his glare to the orange haired female.
"Who do you have in mind?" I asked taking off my mask.
"Let's just say that she is a witch..." Xenex spoke.
"I think that you meant a !" Sherenidy growled knowing who Xenex meant.
"But we need all the help we can get," The male took off his helmet and let his white hair fall down on his shoulders.
"The answer is no. We're not going to need any help from that brainless bitch!" Sherenidy growled and stepped closer to the Lead Watcher.
Techno and Teni froze and stepped back. They were both staring at the Main Watcher. Xenex took a small step back. I was the only one who wasn't affected by the Main Watcher's powers.
"ᓭ⍑ᒷリ, ᓭリᔑ!¡ 𝙹⚍ℸ ̣ 𝙹⎓ ╎ℸ ̣..." I spoke putting my hand on her shoulder.
She let out a growl and slapped my hand away from her shoulder moving her deadly glare straight to my eyes. I glared back into her eyes behind the mask keeping my calm.
Then she stepped back and slammed her hand on the wall making it crack.
"DAMN! SHIT! AND THIS IS WHY CROMICIA ENDED UP LIKE THAT!" She shouted to herself.
I nodded the others to leave us alone and they all nodded. After they disappeared to upstairs I walked to the female who was now sitting in the corner facing the wall. I saw the mask in her hand.
"ᓭ⍑ᒷ-" I started but she cut me off by raising her hand.
"ᓵᔑᓭᓭ╎ᔑ, that's my Watcher name. I left it behind when I realized that I was sitting underground in a prison all alone," She spoke out with kinda cold but sad tone.
"Why do you want me to call you that?" I asked carefully.
"Because that's what you saw. That wasn't ᓭ⍑ᒷ∷ᒷリ╎↸|| that was ᓵᔑᓭᓭ╎ᓭ," She whispered sadly.
"It's alright, I know how you feel," I whispered crouching next to her.
"Mmh, you spent six years in the Watchers Academy but I spent six months underground in a prison all alone because they didn't trust me.."
"But I trust you," I told her with a serious tone in my voice.
She turned around to look me with her brown eyes straight into my eyes. I could see fear and surprise in her eyes. She was scared but also kinda shocked since I had told her that I trust her.
"Why? I've done so much shit! I'm just a liar! I'm the fucking villain of this story!" She shouted with tears coming out of her eyes.
"No, you're not a villain," I said placing my hand on her shoulder. "You're not bad. You've just made a few mistakes, but you're not the only one. I've made mistakes too and I really regret them," I looked into her eyes.
She didn't say anything anymore so I wrapped my arms around her.
"Everything's going to be alright," I whispered to my sister's ear.
I looked at the new house that has just appeared to the Sahara street. Looked like Scar had joined our house-building-competition-thing. Well, I couldn't loose it, so I decided to make 4th floor to my house. Plus, we were going to need more space since I already had four visitors hiding in my small house.
I looked at the house. I had no idea how I could make the 4th floor. Then I got an idea. There was a place that could maybe give me inspiration. I quickly ran inside and told that I was heading somewhere and then flied towards a really familiar area.
I stopped in front of team S.T.A.R's base. I looked at the area and smiled sadly. It brought back so many memories from the time when everything was still alright and we were just fighting with Error. I didn't like fighting Error but now I would definitely choose that instead of having my siblings in the void.
I opened the door and carefully stepped to team S.T.A.R's basement maze. The cold air flew to my skin and made me tremble. The place was now filled with spiderweb. I looked around and walked down the stairs. I remember how I had stolen the last flag from this maze. Then I heard it again. I smiled before turning around and facing the person standing behind me.
"Looks like we'll meet again!" They giggled.
