Description
There are two newcomers on the server, and no one knows how they got there. The trauma that they have, especially the child, concerns the many members of Hermitcraft and their chats to no end, wondering just how that had happened.
Or…
Techno regrets shooting those rockets at Tubbo. As the piglin hybrid tightly hugs the bleeding teen to his chest, a flash of white engulfs the two and they disappear. The fading white reveals a world neither recognizes.
Chapter Nine
Bdubs runs his hands up and down his arms, back pressed against the wall behind him. With the respawn that he went through, the itchiness he had felt underneath his skin is now gone. It would've been a relief any other time on the server, but with the newcomers it's different. Instead, he's now filled with fear of whatever these people are bringing with them.
Finally noticing the shivering and the cold in the house, he winces at the sound of a door banging against a wall, filling the air. Bdubs quickly covers his mouth with a hand, quieting the small sound of fear, his death clear in his mind.
"Bubbles?" The familiar voice of Keralis echoes around him, slightly easing the fear that he feels. It doesn't completely go away, his hands shaky as he relaxes a bit.
The loud sound of footsteps echoes in the room around him, getting closer and closer as each tic passes. There's a small bit of silence before the door to his room opens, the small gasp from Keralis practically in his ears.
Hands soon found their way to his shoulders, one briefly leaving his skin before lightly pulling on the hand covering his mouth. Keralis softly whispers to him, coaxing him to relax and let the being help.

He hadn't noticed the entry and leaving of whatever being had caused this. That one face is clear as Dream stares at the large hole in the whitelist and the protective code that he had put around it.
It took days of looking through the code to find out how two of his 'members' left the server before the hole had made itself apparent, the magic hiding it dropping as. Looking hard at it, Dream can tell that the being stopped bothering to hide their little 'visit' to his server, probably deeming him to not be a threat.
That would be their second mistake. The first was coming onto his server in the first place.

The displacement of air behind him doesn't cause Techno to jump, hand resting on the 'borrowed' iron sword tightening around the hilt. Strange sounds reach his ears as he turns to face the oncoming storm, soon followed by strange smells as the voices quiet.
The piglin faces the newcomers, smells and sounds distinct enough for him to tell that there are two of them before he sees them. Both don't smell completely human, but Techno suspects that the creeper only smells human due to being on a server with the species. The other seems to be a hybrid, strange scent muted by the armor and helmet that the being wears.
"So you are one of the beings that got onto my server." Helmet wearer says with an obvious British accent, posture relaxed and open as they face him. The voices are strangely quiet as the being speaks, Techno's mind empty except for his own thoughts. "Where is your companion? We would like to speak to both of you."
