#just search up the hc panel 2018. the comments were crazy for him. he was so well spoken

[riacte]

Deep breath. Anyone wanna vividly imagine happy, Covid-less irl MCC9 Blue Bats at Twitchcon with me 😌

Like okay, it's the first time the hermits are playing competitively. They've got their practice streams but they have to play live now. They've got their irl Blue Bats shirts. Everyone's hyped. It's kind of an awkward meetup because they're mostly strangers but it's fine. It's cool. The hermits are surprised by how young Fruit is and he just goes :] yeah I recently turned 18 lol. They see Fruit do his parkour with his mouse and his keyboard and their jaws drop because it's just ???? how does he even do it??? we're so old lol.

They're still the underdogs so the casters don't pay much attention to them compared to the other teams. It's 2020 so we're in the Dream-Techno era. Blue Bats are waiting to be called out and everyone's nervous as fuck but they know they have to hold it together for the sake of their teammates. Ren talks about sweating to diffuse the tension. It kind of works. It also kind of doesn't.

The Blue Bats are introduced. The casters have miraculously gained knowledge of the lore and introduce them as the underdogs, making reference to H's infamous "and the entire MCC community sleeps on the Blue Bats" tweet. They mention H's redemption arc after losing Dodgebolt in the previous MCC. They mention Fruit being eager to prove himself. They mention the hermits gunning for the first win. They also mention False and Ren always teaming together because this is an imaginary scenario by me and I always pepper that in

So they walk out to Fort Minor's Remember the Name. "Smile and wave boys (and False!)". They still look a bit awkward but it's cool because Remember the Name makes everything cool. They get less applause overall but there's that subset of the community that followed them from the start and they're screaming the house down. Also a very good portion of Hermitcraft audience faint in their chairs when Ren and False walk out because. Y'know. You understand. 😳 Like if I were there I would've passed out from bisexuality and missed the damn event. Anyway

They're still nervous. Then Ren and H do a bit about Ren doing pushups as a warmup and Ren actually does it irl because his brain is fried with nerves and he just needs to do something. This gets the cameras on them. Someone mentions Hermitgang. Someone asks them to sing it. False politely declines while Ren bravely endures. (He gets so embarrassed by it once the cameras are away.) Basically Ren replies to the cameras for the team when they're around (the man didn't lead that panel discussion for nothing! Also the casters know he's eye candy and he's making everyone go 😳😳😳 lmfbdjksabjkdbalsbdhsabdab). (Twitch Rivals chat: I don't know who that man is but I would like to make his acquaintance 😳.)

Ren has mic problems. This is a constant.

MCC begins and the Bats slay their way in SkB and scream "WE DIDN'T EVEN LOSE A SINGLE PLAYER!!". This goes on as normal. The casters introduced them as the underdogs, but they don't pay much attention to them at first, and only decide to interview them when they start climbing the ranks. Ren and H eagerly speak to the interviewers and thank people for their support while Fruit and False are like 🧍‍♂️🧍‍♀️. The rest of the hermits are cheering in the audience. The casters ask them which game they want the least. All four them in unison: Survival Games.

You'll never guess what happens next. It's Survival Games.

The camera focuses on the Blue Bats as they all go "noooooo :(" and the casters comment on how this may be the end for them. Blah blah blah Grian kills Dream. Unlike what happened in MCCTR, they do not fight it out on stage. It's mostly because no one wants Dream's mask to accidentally fall off (and the hermits are scared of buff Grian's strength on Dream's behalf.) Grian gets the spotlight for a good while until the casters abruptly realise the Blue Bats are dominating, and immediately switch to them.

By now the HC fans are in hysterics and screaming sobbing wailing simping dying laughing and still screaming. Grian's still screaming "THE MOMENT OF MY LIFE!!!!!".

Once they win SG, the Bats jump out of the chairs to scream and celebrate and hug each other 🥺 they do this for a significant amount of time, all cameras are on them, they start playing Remember the Name again, Fruit screams "I'M FIRST OVERALL!" and H screams "UNDERDOGS MY ASS LET'S GO!". The casters are going crazy with this development and they start spinning up the story.

The infamous SOT. The Dream iron door situation would be wack to see irl. Something probably happens but we skip past that because it's Dodgebolt time baby!!

Like 70% of the room is cheering for Green and Blue is super nervous but they got this! The casters eagerly narrate False's failed 1v3 and bring back H's Reddit post predicting her in DB. Green has more clout and the casters mention that (they call Sapnap the Messi of MCC, this is still a comparsion they make for whatever reason).

It's a blur, but they encourage each other even when they're two down. Ren talks about sweating and the entire team turns to look at him irl like 🤨⁉️. His rizz is so strange. The Ren simpage is reaching extremely dangerous levels (and it's starting to reach Martyn on Pink).

Anyways they WIN WAHOOO! They jump out of their chairs, embrace each other, high five, yadayada and everyone EXPLODES because the underdogs just won with a reverse sweep, Fruit is first overall by a lot, the hermits just won, the HC fans are dying and thriving, lives have been changed. They get their silly crowns and they make their speeches. The Underdog by Spoon blasts on the speakers. They take so many photos and go and have a meal or whatever people actually do at Twitchcon :) anyways hours later Iskall and Ren approach H and ask him to join Vault Hunters. MCC9 is a canon event in any universe. A couple of them (*cough* Ren *cough*) party it out till 5am in some club. There's a HC panel at the next day and H and Fruit get to meet the hermits :D everyone lives happily ever after and I live in my unserious imagination :))
