Hey, throwing stars!
This is a new story, and this story is going to be different than normal. How, you may ask? Well... I am going to co-write it with none other than...
KITTYJEN781!
Kitty: Yeah, that's right! And this is a story that is going to help both of our stories, so we can improve them!
Ninja: We are going to need OCs, so send yours in if you want your OC to be in it!
Kitty: Without further ado, here is the Prologue to our new story, "Menaces of Minecraft"!
There are many different biomes within Minecraftia. There are forests, jungles, deserts, plains, swamps, tundra, taiga, and mountains. But one of the strangest biomes in Minecraftia is actually the ocean. While the ocean has its natural exotic beauty, it also has its dangers.
Multiple boats sail across the ocean back at forth between the shores by CubeCity to the far isle where a similar city, GeoCity, was located. The only things that the passengers ever dared worry about was major storms in the middle of the ocean, not caring about anything else. But they should have worried about something completely different. In the middle of the sparkling blue ocean, multiple groups of Squids were swimming around. Their slick, blue-ish grey bodies sparkled in the noonday sunlight, and they appeared to just be swimming around in circles. If you paid close attention to them, though, you would notice that they were actually swimming in one general direction.
One specific group of Squids was swimming just underneath the surface of the water, located about six miles from the shore of CubeCity. At the front of the group, a Squid that was tinted a slightly different shade of blue was swimming, looking around the area that surrounded them. Once it made sure that no boats or Minecrafters were around, it uttered a sharp command in a strange language to the other Squids it was with, and then they dove under the water.
Swimming deeper and deeper under the water, the small group of Squids soon began to be surrounded in darkness. But soon, they each activated their night vision, and they were able to see everything around them. The group leader looked around, searching for the thing that they were going for. Come on… it has to be here somewhere… The Squid quickly thought, blinking its eyes as it searched the bottom of the ocean for their objective.
Right then, it noticed the strange, dark thing at the bottom of the ocean. The Squid laughed to itself, as it could not smile in achievement. Looking around the dark depths of the ocean, it then spotted several other groups of Squids swimming towards it. Once they reached it, they magically disappeared through it.
Gesturing to his comrades, the group leader Squid then swam towards the portal. As he got closer, he could see the frame of the portal completely. It was made of Lapis Lazuli, and had a greenish glow to it. He passed through the portal, and immediately he got teleported to a completely different world: the Squid Dimension.
The Squid Dimension is a strange place. For miles in every direction, there is ocean, with the occasional red and blue pillars that stick out about a mile above the surface of the water. The sky was a dark blue color, very similar to the shade that the average Squid's body was. As there was no sun, the whole place was lit up by glowstone, which was placed on the top of each of the red and blue pillars. Everything looked the same, which was very strange. At the center of the ocean, though, a giant blue and black castle stood, creating an evil atmosphere in the Squid Dimension.
The Squid Mansion was huge, being about one thousand blocks high. Large, Lapis towers surrounded the outside of the castle, with Squid archers that stood guard constantly at the top. If any intruders were to come into the Squid Dimension, they would be one of the first that would know that they had come to attack them. Squids slithered everywhere around the castle, attending to their separate duties. Several Squids were making their way from the Overworld back to the castle, as they had finished their tasks in the Overworld. They all were lit with soft, glowstone lamps that lit the hallways of the stronghold, which gave their blue bodies a golden glow to them.
At the center of the castle, though, is where the throne room is located. One specific Squid, which was tinted different than other normal Squids and was one of three that was similarly tinted, slithered into the throne room, and approached their leader: the Squid Overlord. Now, their leader was very special. He was a huge Squid, being about the size of a normal Ghast. He had huge tentacles at the base of his huge body, and two large, blue arms, unlike any other normal Squid. He had blood-red eyes, and he actually had a face on a head, unlike his other Squid minions. He looked similar to the Squids, excepting that he looked more "human" like than other Squids. He truly was the King of the Squids.
"My Master, the transport Squids have finally arrived from the Overworld, and the resource Squids have returned with more potions that the pathetic Overworld-lings have thrown into our grasp. The last of the mutations began immediately after the resource Squids returned to the Squid Mansion," The Guardian Squid said, then bowing down low before his leader.
Derpollolus, the Squid Overlord, then smiled wickedly as best as a Squid could manage. "Excellent. Now our plan will be able to proceed without trouble," Derpollolus hissed, his tentacles writhing around everywhere it could go.
The Guardian Squid then looked up to his leader, confusion lacing in his expression. "My King, why exactly are we launching this attack on the Overworld again?"
Derpollolus looked down to his servant, and then he looked up to the ceiling. "For our whole lives, we have been living in fear because of our most dangerous and deadly enemy: Sky Fisher. All of our plans to stop him have backfired badly on us. But, when we started mutating our soldiers to become Super Squids so that they are a lot stronger than normal, we gained the chance to fight back. We can bring Sky down so he is weak and defenseless. Once we get hold of his 'budder' amulet, we will take complete control of Minecraftia and rule the world in the image of Squids!"
The Guardian Squid still looked confused. "Won't Sky not willingly give us his amulet? He is very protective of his amulet, and never lets it out of his sight," He then questioned, looking to his leader. Sighing in annoyance, the Overlord then made a quick gesture with one of his tentacles to another group of Squids, which immediately slithered off to go tend to the Mutant Squids. "That is the point. He won't give it up willingly at all. I didn't expect him to do that at all. That is why we will threaten him, saying that if he doesn't give us the amulet, then we will destroy Minecraftia to get him to give us the amulet and then we will rebuild CubeCity into my image. With the anarchy we are going to create, no one will be able to stop us once we gain control of his amulet. Either way, we are going to get that amulet from him."
The Guardian nodded, and then the two other Guardian Squids approached them. Derpollolus looked down to them, and then they bowed down before him. "My Master, the Mutant Squids are prepped for battle to attack CubeCity," The first Guardian Squid said, looking up to his leader.
Derpollolus pushed himself up from his giant Lapis throne, and began to walk to the meeting hall with the three Guardian Squids behind him. The Overlord paused in front of the front doors, and then he turned to his tiny minions. "Derp, Derpy and Derpious, prepare the Mutant Squids for battle. Once they are ready, head to the portal. I will meet you there to launch the attack," Derpollolus then commanded. Derpious (the Guardian Squid that was talking with Derpollolus before) and Derpy nodded, and then they rushed off to ready the soldiers. Derp went off to prepare the normal Squids, leaving Derpollolus to do other tasks. He slithered out of the Squid Mansion, then falling into the dark blue ocean that surrounded their castle. He swam towards the portal, which was about a dozen miles away from where the Squid Fortress was. But, as he was a Squid, he could cover distance quickly.
He waited for a good half an hour before he saw his minions approaching him and the Squid Dimension Portal. They all gathered in front of it, and then they froze, waiting for their leader to launch the attack. Derpollolus smiled wickedly, and then he held up one of his arms, which was holding a specialized Squid sword.
"For Derpollolus!" The Overlord cried out, smiling evilly. All the Squids copied his cry, and then they poured into the portal, falling into the Overworld. The Squid Wars had begun.
