A cloud of smoke or stream consumed the stage, the red stone lamps illuminating it so that silhouettes could be seen in the fog. The audience could see only dark grey figures, all standing with their arms either behind their backs or crossed in front of their chest. The silhouette of Husky seemed to be frozen in a state of shock. The silhouette in the middle raised their arm and the fog began to disperse, a small wind blowing it away.
"All good things come in time, you know." The one in the middle gave the amphibian a soft smile as the small tornado in his hand blew his hood about just enough for his face to be counselled to the audience but not Husky.
"Seto…?" the mudkip breathed as he seemed to stiffen more than relax. The crowd was in stunned silence as a second member of D7 chuckled and elbowed the sorcerer.
"looks like we made quite the entrance, huh?"
"He told us we would have the most dramatic one."
There was a shout of Seto's name from one end of the hall and the crowd broke into cheers and excited gasps. It would seem all but a few were excited about seeing the purple mage.
"Haha, yes it's me, SetoSorcerer! And I'm the leader of District seven!" a few members of the crowed seemed to roar with their excitement.
A purple haired individual stepped forward, adjusting his tie. "My name is Isaack and hmmm no one knows how to spell my name. how's that for a "about me" statement?"
"Sounds about right." The third member stepped forward to introduce himself. "Hello, my name is Carra_77 but everyone just calls me Matt." There were a few laughs as Matt stepped back, Seto standing down stage again.
"I hope to make this my return to youtube." He said as a floating camera flew from behind him and did a flyby of the stage. "I hope to have fun with my friends and to make new ones…and hopefully repair some old friendships?" the sorcerer's voice seem to die down when he spotted Jason and Jerome; the two mimicking Husky's deer in the headlights routine.
"well I don't know why not! Welcome to the districts, D7!" Husky said once he remembered he had a voice. The mudkip smiled and extended a hand to shack with each member of the new district. The crowed calmed down; it was a happy moment but not the kind you jump up for joy about. There was some unanswered questions and many rumors, but it would seem many of those rumors were false as Seto pulled the mudkip into a quick hug before leaving the stage. Husky stood there taken aback by what just happened but laughed it off.
"Looks like this is going to be very interesting! District eight, mind coming up?" Husky gave another welcoming applause to the next district; a Lava creeper in a white hoodie, a young man with a bandana over his face and camo gear, and a dog like animal in dyed leather armor. They took the stage one at a time, the dog flinching and running to the end of the line when she spotted the mudkip.
"Hi everyone! My names Elmwood and it's nice to meet you all!" the lava mob waved to a few members of the crowd.
"so THAT'S what Skiddles meant when he said him and Ego weren't the only new faces…" Heather muttered as he waved back to Elm.
"I'm Wren742 and if there's PVP I plan on killing everyone." The one with the camo gear pointed at the crowd with a slightly bored tone.
"sup everyone?" the third member spoke up.
"MAI DAWG!" Skiddles jumped up and shouted.
The dawg waved at her friend before continuing. "I'm Hdawg1995 and on behalf of D8, I have a question for YOU!"
The three stood back to back at an angle that let them point at most of the crowd around them.
"You wanna go mate? Cause we're District 8!" the three said together as they spun around to give a group high five. The crowd cheered as they began to leave the stage.
"hdawg? Hey! Its nice to meet you-" Husky extended a hand to the dawg when she walked by, recognizing the name from his many streams. The Dawg squeaked and then fell on her back, legs in the air. The words "hdawg1995 fainted" popped up on everyone's chat screens, the crowd laughing it up.
"ugh come on Hdawg, no fainting on stage!" Elm teased as he helped Wren carry their stiff friend off the stage.
"Guess that's what they mean when someone is star struck, huh?" Jerome jokes as he nudged Jason.
"Not gonna lie I saw that coming." Modii shrugged as the rest of his district were laughing.
"#PoorHdawg" was heard on stage as the last district, D9, took the spot light. An angel, a ninja, and a boy in an orange t-shirt were center stage, the Angel stretching her wing out to drape over the boy.
"My name is AngelDaughter and this is my brother, Calmcat!" the boy looked a bit embarrassed as he tried to duck out of his sister's wing.
"Hello everyone. Yeah I'm Calmcat but most just call me Byrd." A few members of the crowd shouted a hello, to which Byrd shouted a hello back.
The third member stepped forward and waved. Another group of people shouted the ninja's name and she took a step back.
"oh no you don't!" Bryd went behind her and pushed her nearly to the very edge of the stage. "You say your name yourself!"
The ninja rolled her eyes before facing the crowd again. "Hello, I'm Zykic. Can I go now?" the audience laughed and a moment of realization hit Husky.
"Zykic? Hey you're one of my mods! Nice to meet you too!" he extended a hand and Zykic shook it, saying "likewise." District nine was about to leave the stage when Calmcat ran back and pointed at the crowd.
"Alright Districts SMP! I hope you're ready to be D9-ed your victory!"
There was a mixture of boos and laughter as Husky slowly nodded. "the puns are strong in this one." He said as he applauded the boy.
Once the stage was cleared husky took center again. "Okay. So who here is our mysterious host? Come on, fess up." The mudkip looked around at the confused faces. His eyes landed on Jerome and Jason who shrugged. there were a few murmurs of possible ideas and people questioning one another, but there wasn't a clear answer.
"well uhhh… all nine districts have been introduced and I'm all out of note cards…" the amphibian said shuffling the cards in his hands. There was the sound of pistons and redstone repeaters going off as the floor began to open, a fog similar to the one Seto created started to bellow out, but it was too dense to consume the stage and simply drifted off, like dry ice.
"Hello everyone! Sorry to keep you waiting…"
