DarkMaster98: Hello, everyone! Some of you might know me as DarkMaster98. You may also notice that I am not the author. Actually, Hades and I are co-authors in this story! Friendship! Anyways, I'll pass it off to Hades now, since this is his idea. I hope you all enjoy! Seriously though, I should shut up and let Hades talk.

Nether Lord Hades: Thank you...Now let the action begin!

"MaltyCrab! Left!"

MaltyCrab quickly swung his sword in a deadly arc of diamond, vaporising a Testificate into nothing but a bunch of dropped emeralds. We were at war, all of my recruits and friends fighting for the resistance. The Testificates launched a surprise attack against my server, and we were all caught off guard.

Maybe I should clarify some things first. I'm Nether Lord Hades, or Hades for short. I am the Nether King, a half god, half Wither hybrid able to blast flaming Wither skulls from my hands. I'm also the leader of the resistance against all villagers trying to take over Minecraft and turn it into a dictatorship. Only my friends and my recruits are the survivors of what is taking place now, at least whom we know of.

A quick history summary: After I was created on Minecraft, I became the trigger of the beginning of a revolution against all Testificates. After looting many villages, blowing them up with TNT, burning them to the ground, and mercilessly slaughtering their Golems, the Testificates began to strike back.
I've made new friends and countless followers in the war of the Testificate Army against the Nether Empire. Eventually, I started to round up my best friends (MaltyCrab, Supercalifrag, Dubbleuu, LexieLol13, Bran42163 and Connorwillson11 to name a few) and all my recruits to start a long and dangerous war to destroy all the Testificates.

Let's start before the invasion: Everyone was doing their morning shift on a typical Sunday. Some were hunting so we could feed all 3,000,000 people that were fighting. Others were in the armoury, making the weapons, armor, traps and tools we needed. Most recuits were in the mines, searching for anything useful, which is basically everything: Nedrium, lava, diamonds from the Overworld, bloodstone, and butter to trade for other things, but most importantly, pyridium to make tools for myself.

I was helping LexieLol and other people craft different potions to heal the injured. Everyone was required to wear full battle gear: helmet, chestplate, leggings, and boots. While the others wore armor that often composed of a mix of Nedrium, Lavacrystal, Netherrack and Bloodstone, I was always supposed to wear Pyridium gear and be equipped with Pyridium weapons, and things to make quick traps. I always needed to wear the orange OP gear to be known as 'The Nether Lord'.

"Hades, hand me a glistering melon," LexieLol requested.

I barely pulled out the ingredient when two of my recruits burst into the healing room, pulling a stretcher.

"Lord Hades! We need a splash potion of healing!"

I rushed over, and my eyes widened. Dubbleuu was on the emergency stretcher, and an arrow had pierced through his armor and into his abdomen. He was deathly pale, mumbling something about a Testificate Archer. I pulled out my sword and sliced through the arrow like paper. Lexie threw splash potions of healing on Dubbleuu, while pulling off his Neridium chestplate to see how bad the damage was. I was preparing another splash potion, ready to use it.

"They're in the mines, Hades! We need more weapons, and soon! Go to the armoury!" Dubbleuu cried.

Supercalifrag walked into the healing room. Supercalifrag was the quietest of everyone we had in our base camp, but still a good friend. We all had a running joke that he was too loud, but this time I didn't feel like cracking a "Shut up, Supercalifrag!" joke. Supercalifrag placed down a sign with the words [More weapons! One recruit dead!]

I nodded, then kneeled next to Dubbleuu.

"Don't worry, Dubbleuu, I'll be back soon."

Bran42163 ran in. "I won the Hunger—! Oh my Notch!"

I walked out of the room and towards the armory. Connorwillson11 was working overtime on swords and different weapons made from whatever people brought in. He was the best at crafting: bows, quivers, TNT, enchanted tools, special swords, tripwires. He could create anything, repair anything. Connorwillson11 was repairing a Nedrium sword broken clean in half when he noticed me.

"Hades! What do you need?"

"Dubbleuu was shot in the mines. The damn Testificates have placed agents in the caverns. We need enchanted weapons, Connorwillson11. Got anything so far?"

Connorwillson11 grinned. "I have a Level 16 Lavacrystal battleaxe and a TNT bow."

"TNT bow?"

"A bow that shoots arrows that explode upon contact with the enemy. Smart and effective!"

I nodded. "That's a good start. How many of those can you make in one day?"

Connorwillson11 frowned. "We're running low on gunpowder. If you could go and kill some creepers for me, I'll make you that Wither armour and sword you wanted."

"Oh, and Lexie is going to have to make XP potions for the swords. Other than that, I can probably make ten of each one in about an hour." He continues.

"Good, keep working on it," I say and head out.

First my friend, Dubbleuu is shot by a Testificate archer, we're low on weapon supplies, and now I've lost another recruit? My day just keeps getting better and better.

DarkMaster98: How did you like this first chapter? Make sure to follow and favorite Hades, I know he would appreciate it! Check my story out if you want to, but that is your choice, not mine. So, yeah! Look forward to more, and if Hades has nothing more to say, then see you all next chapter! If he does want to say something, I'm just gonna shut up now and let him talk.

Nether Lord Hades: Yes, remember to follow and favourite both of us. If you don't I'll send Zombie Pigmen to kill you while you sleep... Anyway, I hope you guys liked the first chapter! Bye for now!
