Holy slag a ton of you reviewed on this one O.O

Things are starting to heat up too~ Nice and long for ya guys to enjoy :D

TheAmberShadow - Thanks :D
You so sure about that? I mean think about it, both are white haired dictators, both run games that end in death, both keep their people in line via hope of a victor, and both manipulate the hero.
We may never know~
Indeed they do X3
Actually, the book they got was different, Isa placed it at the world spawn point, and knew that arrivals from other worlds wouldn't understand anything about respawns, and they wouldn't have any place to store their gear, not that they would likely want to. So she made a custom book for them, and wrote different books for the youtubers.
This is Ivor we're talking about. He doesn't want to look like an idiot
Watch just about any video with these guys interacting with Graser. He may not be an absolute idiot, but...he does have his moments XD
Yeah I took a little time to make it sound creepy, glad to hear I suceeded

AquaEclipse - I actually just went for reactions I thought would fit them, but if you want to read it as Gracy then feel free to ^^
*Hugs back* I didn't technically leave or anything but hey I'll take it lol
More of explained eventually, though I did sort of touch on it here
Oooo thank you :D I'll listen to those as I can ^^

Raintag - Aw, thanks ^^
I definitely will :D

It could have all been solved in a matter of seconds XD
Teen!Isa has a temper X3
Well technically, she does have zombie spawners set up in a (as of this time) unknown location, so yeah, the horde is infinite.

FireTheFoxx - Know I already said this to you, but if you need any help with FF just let me know ^^
Sent em :3

On to the fic!


A murderer and a zombie horde.

Who could have thought that things could take such a turn for the worse. Sure the last few worlds had been...well, strange, what with fish tails, nether hybrid wars, and the whole 'alternate selves' thing, but this was a whole new matter. Monsters were one thing, but another human, actively seeking their deaths?

It wasn't an ideal situation.

Green eyes scanned the group of strange beings they had met. Unlike Ivor, who's gaze had flicked away, Jesse had seen Isa's face before it transformed into horror. Her eyes had flashed a victorious golden color, and her lips had twitched upwards, until she had gotten control of her facial features.

Isa knew something, Jesse knew that for a fact.

He just had to figure out what.


Gabriel wasn't sure how he felt about things at the moment.

On the one hand, this world clearly had some sort of alternate rules, what with the whole glowing thing in front of HBomb's face earlier.

But then on the other hand, it also had a likely insane person trying to murder them all.

But then again, when wasn't there something trying to kill them? Zombies, Witherstorms, the only difference now was that this time the killer was probably human and fully aware that they were taking lives.

Gabriel doubted anyone they'd met so far had the ability to pull off murder. The Host was probably someone they had yet to meet, maybe they weren't even human at all.

That would sure make things easier in the long run.


Harper's black hair spilled down over her shoulders as she wrapped her arms around herself and all but collapsed inwards.

She knew she'd gotten a lot better ever since the Witherstorm had passed, certainly better than Ellegaard, who they'd had to practically drag to the old temple with them, but fighting monsters was much different than fighting a Monster. After all, what else could a murderer be?

There seemed to be something different about death in this world though, the others...after HBomb had read the book, he'd seemed...less concerned about Syndicate's death. Maybe...

Maybe in this world, death didn't mean death.

Maybe Syndicate wasn't gone for good.


"Well, someone brought us here for a reason." Ivor said, glancing at the grim looks on his friends faces. "All of us, which means we need to stick together. We'll be fine, if we don't believe that..." he let his voice trail off. Primarily because he really didn't have anything to finish it off with, but also because he really didn't want to think about what might happen if they all gave up.

HBomb grinned, nodding eagerly 'Exactly! Teamwork makes dreams work, or...something like that." That got a laugh out of Graser, and a few of the others smiled slightly.

There was a rather awkward silence for a moment, before Shubble turned to Graser "Hey Graze, can I talk to you...over there." she nodded her head towards the fireplace with a rather suspicious look on her face. She walked away, and the red-eyed male quickly followed.

Kiingtong started to follow, but then veered towards the other side of the massive table with...was that dog eating a cake?

As the hoodie wearing male reached one of the chairs he hissed "Stacy!" the brunette quickly made her way over to him.

Isa slipped past both groups, and headed for the cake and the dog. Gently picking him up, revealing gorgeous brown and orange markings, Isa made her way to the far end of the table. After a brief pause, HBomb joined her, leaving Ivor and the others to themselves.

"Well that was weird." Harper muttered.

"You know..." Jesse hummed, green eyes locked on Isa, HBomb, and the pup "The more I think about it, the more I think there's something these people don't want us to know."

"One of them has to know the truth about what's going on here." Gabriel agreed, nodding to Jesse, although with a slight grimace

"It would be nice to know what's going on." Harper admitted "Especially if we're going to be stuck with them overnight."

Ivor nodded, letting his gaze wash over the room "Looks like we've got a mystery to solve."


"Hey HBomb." Ivor said, forcing his face into a smile "And...IsaGaming right?"

The black haired girl flashed him a smile "That's me! But please, no formalities, we're all, well, mostly all friends here. I insist you call me Isa." HBomb gave a weak smile "And you can just call me H if that's easier. Most of these guys do." He waved in Kiingong, Graser, and Shubble's general direction.

"Good to know." Ivor hummed. He had to admit, a lot of these guys seemed really friendly, it was hard to imagine them setting a trap to kill others. "Would either of you mind if I asked a few questions?" Isa gave him an odd look and Ivor quickly added "I'm just trying to wrap my head around everything, and since you all seem to know each other, I thought it'd be a good idea to ask around."

Isa relaxed, and turned towards her dog. Ivor decided to start simple, and work his way up to the more...touchy questions.

"So, what's your dog's name?"

Isa smiled at him "This is Winslow, I've had him for almost two years now, turned him into a dog last week. Don't you just LOVE his markings?"

Ivor had to admit the brown, white, and orange dog was pretty adorable looking. His fur matted up in every direction, and he was about the size of...Ivor forced his mind to stop that train of thought. He couldn't think about Reuben now. Not...not under this setting. He turned to HBomb "So what about you? Do you have any pets?" H shrugged "Sort of? I don't have any here in Hub, but on one server I've got a parrot named Princess"

Ivor blinked.

Annnnd blinked again.

Then he turned back to Isa "So...how long have you guys been friends?"


They talked for about five minutes before Ivor finally brushed against the questions he'd been practically dying to answer.

"Hey Isa, you seemed really upset about people wanting to look at Syndicate's inventory, were you guys close?" He made sure to sound like he was just mildly curious, but he must have failed because Isa gave him a suspicious look before answering "Not really, not as much as with H and the others anyways. Syndicate was AFK for...well, years. He'd only just come back when we got the invitation."

Ivor frowned "Then, why so upset." Isa sighed, and lowered her head to press it into Winslow's fur. The dog wagged his tail and lifted his head slightly to lap at Isa's cheek. Finally she replied "It had just happened, and it felt so...so insensitive. I mean I get wondering what people have on them, but right after they die? And all she was worried about was what was in his pockets!"

Ivor winced "It does sound bad when you put it that way." Isa nodded, but didn't say anything.

Ivor decided to turn to H for his next question "You looked at Stacy when you said he didn't have anything suspicious, care to explain why?" H shuffled his feet and looked down at the floor like it was the most interesting thing in the world. "Look, I...I only know a little bit and, I don't want to get wrapped up in it. Especially now that he's...now that he's going to be gone for the next six months." Ivor was started to think he should ask about that, but H added "If you really want to know, ask Graser. He's who I heard it from."

Ivor nodded, turning towards the black-hoodie wearing male. "You know, I think I'll do that."

He started to make his way towards Graser and Stacy, then he paused "Once more question, if you don't mind. I'll understand if you don't want to answer." H and Isa shared a look "Go on." Isa said slowly. Ivor took a deep breath, then said "Do you have any questions as to why anyone here would want to kill Syndicate, and do you have any theories as to who it is."

H winced, and Isa looked quite like she wanted to slap Ivor. Then she took a deep breath and said "Well, you met him right? He was a bit...prickly around the edges. And let's not forget, he didn't exactly have the greatest filter. Always swearing and cussing at people." she shuddered "As for who, well..." she narrowed her eyes "You were one of the last ones to see him alive."

With those lovely words ringing in the air, Isa whirled around and planted her back to Ivor. H gave him a sheepish look and whispered "For what it's worth, I don't think you guys did it."

Ivor nodded "Thanks H. I'm...I'm gonna go talk to the others now, give Isa some time to cool down."

H nodded as Ivor added "Thanks for answering."

With that he stepped away from the two with more questions than he had answers.
