if no one's gonna write about grian staying back in a valiant attempt to save grumbot, HIS evil robot, I will
also does anyone find it hilarious that princess gem the ultimate larper is just standing on the hermit's side of the bridge during the standoff. like, she's just chilling
-
grian sat on grumbot's palm. can you open the rift?
mumbo. no purpose. make mumbo mayor. it was as if the words were coded into his brain, which grian supposed it was, and grumbot kept on repeating it, as grian threw papers increasingly frantically.
grian groaned in frustration and flew off. "just an evil, insane robot," he muttered to himself.
then there was a boat. small but cluttered, sitting in the water between grumbot and the rift, which was now surrounded by a box.
"he's an evil robot," sausage protested.
something in grian's heart clenched. that's what he'd been telling to himself, telling to grumbot, even, but yet, when someone else said it out loud, it didn't seem right. he was just his grumbot, his little robot boy. he hadn't done anything wrong, per say.
other than threatening to purge the whole of empires.
"that's not true," grian said, mouth dry.
they talked to grumbot again, and there had been a lighthearted moment with oli's question. it was katherine's turn, and the response resurfaced like a cork in water. no mumbo, no purpose. she turned to him and the expression of skeptical worry was unmistakable.
grian inhaled. "I- I'm experienced with grumbot, alright? this is the third grumbot. I know what I'm doing." the words sounded hollow even to his ears, like he was trying to convince himself with untrue sentiments.
oli turned to him. the normally silly bard said accusingly, "well, what happened to the other two?"
grian's eye muscles suddenly malfunctioned. he knew this because water was leaking out. he pulled his wings around him and looked away from the others to grumbot, hoping to pull off a stoic, cool look. "it- it's alright. they…"
one in a box, cartoon clouds and grass, convinced that he had fulfilled it's purpose, living in a prison of lies
the other waiting for its father, its fathers, sitting in a lab, full of scorn at him what did he do make mumbo mayor —
grian laughed weakly. "yeah, he's being existential again. it's fine. everything's fine. he's just a bit evil?"
I'm so sorry, grumbot. but I'm not sure what I'm sorry for. he's just an evil and insane robot, grian repeated to himself.
but he's mine.
-
"NO! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" his voice was strained and raw, going from the heart to the throat without bothering to bypass the head. grian, devoid of armour and any blocks, stared in despair at the slowly and steadily flying TNT machine, heading straight towards grumbot.
the other emperors stood on the bridge, staring at the machine. their normally distinct personalities had all merged into one of excited desperation.
"it's like you said, grian!" sausage laughed, with a glint in his eye. "we have to kill the evil robot. you guys can't leave. the rift has to close, and the robot has to die."
"whoo!!!" joel cheered raggedly in the background, amid the atmosphere of chaotic anticipation. the way they just treated it, so lightly, as just another evil thing to be eliminated.
grian was rooted to the spot. "no, you can't do this… no, you…"
something in his brain clicked and he ran up the island. "I can save him! no, I have to— blocks! I need to—" heartbeat thumping violently, he clawed dirt and grass and wood and whatever, collecting them and sprinting over to grumbot, his boy.
grian dived into the water. immediately, his heavy sweater made heavier still with the weight of water, began to pull him down. he yelped in panic and slapped the water, trying to float forward. "grumbot! no!"
and the robot's face, unblinking, as death approached him.
grian felt the arrow pierce through him as fwhip's shot delivered the final blast to his already low health. there was a moment of nothing, and he was at spawn in the tower. chest still aching from the goblin's arrow, he grabbed as many blocks as he could and dashed over.
grumbot, I'm coming for you! grumbot!
he frantically stacked up, and the view was front-row when he saw grumbot explode in a boom of TNT and vengeance.
no—
he let himself fall, and thumped onto the ground.
when he woke up yet again, he felt hazy. grumbot. he was dead. if only he had stopped them in time.
blood and tears mixed in his vision as he pushed his way through the emperors and screamed in triumph as he went back home, to hermitcraft, to grumbot, his little robot boy.

Everyone is talking about how Pearl and False went through the portal in Grian's episode, but also we must address that Joehills also went through the portal. Mr. Joe "what is a lore" hills getting involved in this crossover with the incredibly lore heavy Empires SMP.

i've seen a lot of people talking about what's gonna happen when hermit!false and hermit!gem arrive in the other side of the rift, and i have a theory.
in gem's hermitcraft episode, she was able to hear the warbled voice of empires!gem through the rift, talking about the sunshine and how dark and purple the rift was. this might be telling us that hermit!gem and empires!gem are two separate people, so the likelihood of seeing two different gems is possible story-wise. not sure about physically, but it's still possible.
now let's look at empires!false. her character is basically an anime protagonist isekai-ed into another world with no memories of who she was and where she was. this is where it strays from the majority of the expectation because i think, if my theory is correct, if hermit!false arrives in the other side of the rift, i think it's just going to fill in the missing timeline of how empires!false even got into the empires world. i think it's going to merge the two timelines (the pov of hermit!false and the pov of empires!false) by connecting it in the middle, and hermit!false and empires!false are actually the same person, so the likelihood of having more than one false is very low, but not impossible. or at least, if you base it on my theory.
i don't know how close this is, but i'll put the twin paradox as an example. it's still in the same universe, but different timelines, one advancing faster and the other moving slower from one unmoving point of view, or in this case, ours, the viewers. (idk if i made the correct comparison, since i know next to nothing about science stuff, so please correct me if i'm wrong! but be gentle bcs i have feelings rhiddh)
but anyway that's just a theory! a hermit/empire theory!

Grian sends TNT through the rift + the explosion sounds that made Fwhip notice the Empires' portal for the first time (also weird noise and effect at the end of Grian's clip).
COINCIDENCE?!?!? I DON'T KNOW! But if those are the same sound it does explain why we haven't seen on HC any of the stuff thrown from the Empires side. Fwhip was one of the first people to inspect the portal closely, after Lizzie (supported by the fact the rail track she used to transport her villager - the first thing to cross the portal - not being there yet)

"So," said Cleo, "Grumbot's hands."
Two black, long arms extended from the computer's moustached face, topped off with two cartoon white gloves. The computer's wide, white eyes were neutral, but he seemed content.
"Yeah, it's cursed. That's the point," Grian replied, looking proudly at Grumbot. "Main point is, Grumbot's awake, but the rift isn't open? I don't know about you, but I'm a tad homesick."
"So am I," Cleo agreed. "Why isn't it opening? I mean, Grumbot was supposed to be the way out, right? How are we gonna get home? What if…"
She trailed off into a worried frown as Grian's wings flapped in agitation. They were both thinking the same thing. What if they were trapped here forever? The very thought made them cold with terror.
"How's it going, guys?" Gem chirped, "Looks like you Hermits are doing pretty good with the tower so far!"
"Yeah, hi, Gem," Grian absentmindedly greeted, deep in thought of the possibilities if Grumbot couldn't open the rift.
"Just came over to see," Gem said cheerfully, "Anyways, need to pop over to check on my castle megabase. See you!" With a soft pop, she was gone.
"Yep, yep," said Cleo vaguely, mind running over their current predicament.
Grian's head snapped up. "I can't think of anything. Gem, do you have any ideas- WAIT-"
Cleo blinked.
