I Procrastinated My College Work

The hermits gathered together in the stands of MCC at their regular spot. They were donned in orange to support their fellow hermits throughout the game, and now the two were in dodgebolt. They had cheered when False and Grian were the last two in survival games and nearly cried of relief when they all got out in Sands of Time. Iskall was analyzing their plays the entire time, intent on coaching them with his Vault Hunters knowledge after the game.

Now, their team was in first, and playing dodgebolt. They were on the edge of their seats, smaller hermits on the shoulders of taller ones. Cleo and Stress were screaming encouragement, Joe and Iskall had no chance of calming the two. Mumbo, Pearl, Scar, and Impulse were holding each other as they watched their fellow boatem member in the same place as last MCC. It had hurt all of them when Grian began to panic, their friend stilling in the middle of the field as yells from other teams and SMPs encouraged him to shoot. They wanted to throw his gong right at his head to calm him down, but outsiders couldn't interfere. The 3v1 got to him in the end; they still cheered on their way home.

The camera each admin held zoomed in on each team member.

And then the first arrow was shot. Illumina immediately went for Grian, who dodged it. Mumbo and Scar screeched, losing their minds at their first moment being so intense already. They watched Grian hand off the arrows, letting the hermit queen take her shot. Mumbo and Scar promply lost it again when False immediately took out Fruitberries. Round one was over in an instance, and they couldn't help but be dissapointed at the loss.

They heard a loud "GO FALSY! HANG IN THERE G-MAN!" from the lower railings. Ren was hanging over the edge, only held back by Hbomb and Martyn. Cub was cheering along with the orange supporters, glancing back and giving a thumbs up to his friends.

The second round started and Iskall swore at False getting shot immediately. They wouldn't lie when they said they agreed she waws an amazing dodgebolt player and pvper. They believed in SB, Pete, and Grian though. They would pull it off.

"Come on G, do it for Boatem!" Impulse yelled.

X joined in. "I'll give you a stack of diamonds if you win this!"

Ren, Cub, False, and Gem quickly spun their heads. X gulped. He didn't have enough diamonds to give all his hermits. Perhaps Evil Ex would trade him some derp coin?

"Bad play, suma." Doc mumbled.

They hadn't even noticed the round was over and their team had won. They would have to watch the replay of the round. The eight players teleported to the arena again, ready for round three.

Grian had been out last every round so far, and they could see he was starting to get stress. They knew he was pushing through it, and saw him grin when SB and Pete took out two of the opposing members right before Vixella shot Grian. They saw him hang over the opposite side, cheering on his teammates. It was a quick game with orange taking charge quick.

Fourth round was a disasster for their friends. Grian missed the first shot and both SB and Pete were out. False was in a 4v1, but she was a crackshot. She could take them out. Then she got tagged, and it was 2-2. It was anyones game.

It was the last round and no one was sure if they were breathing. It was a back and fourth with Vix and False getting eliminated. It seemd to be going slow, and the hermits were hopeful.

And then Pete and SB were shot. Grian stared at the sky and typed into his communicator.

Grian: why me

Grian: why again

It was just like last MCC. Grian was in the deciding 1v3. Every team was now standing, the crowd was completely silent. They could see the occasional team members whispering to themselves. No one was moving an inch. All eyes were on Grian, whose head was down and chest was breathing deeply.

Stay calm, please stay calm. We believe in you.

Grian stared at the other side and raised his bow. He was completely still. His eyes were locked onto Illumina and Fruit. Oh god, they believed in him but this was fruitninja. They were never teamed for a reason.

Fruitberries was tagged by Grian.

The crowd gasped. Xisuma heard a scream that may or may not have been him. Words of disbelief rang out before all was silent as Grian missed the second shot. Hands covered mouths in shock. Zeuz and Illumina took aim and Grian dodged like his life depended on it. He was yelling on the field and they wanted to jump down and shoot the punk players themselves. Every arrow that was shot and missed gave a gasp of horror and disbelief. There hadn't been a dodgebolt as intense as this in so long.

Grian picked up his arrows again and paused. He glared forward, slowly raising his bow. He didn't shoot for a long time, instead opting to patiently wait for his chance. He waited. They saw Sneeg grab Philza, eyes wide and mouth dropped. Grian breathed out.

Illumina was tagged by Grian.

An ear shattering roar erupted. The camera was zoomed in on Grian's face, who was letting lose the second arrow that missed. He turned and sprinted, dodging as Zeuz lined up his first arrow. Again, the crowd was silent. Double screens appeared. One displaying Zeuz's concentrated face, the other Grian's running figure. Grian lept and avoided the arrow not once, but twice. Shock rippled through the crowd.

Grian grabbed the two arrows once again. He shot too fast, they could tell. He wasn't cracking, but the pressure was there. He was so close to a win. He missed and the arrows were in Zeuz's hands. "IT'S SCRIPTED" Was that Wisp?

Grian dodged again. Players and watchers were either grabbing their hair, the railings, or each other. The hermits were afraid one of them was going to get into the battle themselves just to end it. He dodged again. The hermits screamed. They yelled for him to win. They yelled for him to take the crown. Do it for the builders, they said.

All admins cameras were on Grian, only Noxite keeping an eye on Zeuz. No one knew what was going to happen, but they were sure this dodgebolt would go down in history. They watched Grian raise the bow. He pulled back the string. Zeuz jumped forward.

KryticZeuZ was tagged by Grian.

ORANGE OCELOTS TAKE THE CROWN

The scream of relief from Grian could've been heard from Hypixel. The stadium went insane, everyone standing and yelling congradulations. The players were teleported, and the Hermits watched as False and Grian walked forward, donning crowns beneath a spinning coin.

Yep, this was a win for the hermits indeed.
