Author Notes:

Hello to anyone who's reading this. This is my very first story (so be a bit mild, please) that I'm writing on Fanfiction. I've got it very busy sometimes so don't expect a new chapter every day, but for now I'm working very hard to push at least a decent story out.

Now to anyone who likes to, please leave a comment and thank you for even condidering to read this.

And now, let the Adventure begin!

Minecraft 2.0: The Adventure begins!

"Hold on, I've almost got it..." Tyler said, fidgeting with a few more wires. As soon has he connected the last wire, the screen of my computer flashed, a robotic voice declaring 'Nexus-system connected. All systems active.'

"Finally!" I said loudly, my patience not for nothing. I immediately sat down on my chair and started our favourite game: Minecraft.

Tyler sat down on his own chair in front of his self-build computer, starting Minecraft up as well. The games started up simultaneously, the main screen now visible. Tyler and I went straight to our own private-server. The world loaded, suddenly showing that things had changed a little bit in our world.

"Strange, I don't remember the base this close to finished?" Tyler thought out loud. I raised my eyebrow, taking a good look around until I noticed something very recognizable. A simple tower we had build held a fake-flag (Minecraft didn't allow for real flags yet), but instead of our personal Red-Green pattern, it instead held a 3-color pattern: Red-Green-Yellow. And I only knew one person that liked yellow that much...

"Sky, you can show up now!" I said in my mic. Suddenly, a slight giggle entered our headphones, followed by a female player appearing before us.

"You like what I did with the place?" Sky asked, a bit of mischief in her voice. Tyler rolled his eyes, annoyed with the girls presence. 'Those two might never get along.' I thought to myself before looking around at the base. She had finished most of the looks, not having touched any of the redstone Tyler worked on. Tyler went to see on his own room, me taking his example and went to check mine.

Luckily, everything was were it belonged. I checked to see if anything else was missing, and suddenly noticed a strange tunnel in the side of a wall, that appeared blasted open.

"Yeah, a Creeper somehow got in and blasted the wall open. I've got a question, though. Where does that lead?" Sky asked, suddenly right next to my player. I almost jumped from my chair, a bit surprised that she managed to sneak up at me like that. 'God, is she really not just a creeper in disguise?' I wondered before shrugging it of. Tyler had joined us by then and the three of us gazed down the dark tunnel. I took a step inside, jumping back at the bats flying out.

"Why bats?!" Sky jumped, hiding herself behind a nearby pillar. She had a fear of bats ever after she had an accident with one I.R.L. I simply shrugged it of and walked down, placing torches around to light our way. Tyler followed afterwards, Sky quickly catching up with us.

We kept going down at what seemed like an eternity. Finally, we reached a big open chamber, the walls made of stone bricks and moss stone. I placed a torch in the middle, showing us that the chamber had a door leading... Well, somewhere.

"This looks like a dungeon." Sky noticed, looking at the walls. I agreed with her before turning to Tyler, who just looked at the wooden door.

"I think that we're inside an End-Dungeon." Tyler said, a bit of fear shaking his voice. I looked at him I.R.L. and patted his shoulder. He looked at me and took a deep breath before turning back to our game, reassured. He never liked those things, scary dungeons. He hated dying and having to gather his stuff all over again, and I could only agree with him.

Sky opened the door, leading the way with her diamond sword ready. I grabbed my enchanted axe, and Tyler brought his Flame-bow up, readying an arrow. We paced through the hallways of the End-Dungeon, killing every mob we encountered. Sky took a little break after a while, eating some bread to regain health. She was the best at fighting, and so she took most of the mobs on, but that always left her needing food to gain health back. Luckily for her, I was the kind of player that always carried an inventory filled with food. I offered her another bread, but she declined, stating that she 'might need another recharge soon'.

After a bit of exploring, we reached the main-chamber of the dungeon: The portal-room. I decided to climb up the stairs, breaking the spawner that stood in the middle on my way with my pick. I examined the portal, my smile of reaching so far now being replaced with a frown.

"Dang-it!" I yelled, walking back down.

"And, how many eyes?" Tyler asked, worry on his face (I.R.L.)

"One." I said bluntly, reaching the bottom of the stairs. Sky and Tyler exchanged glances before going up themselves. Both came down after a moment, releasing a big sigh.

"All this way for nothing!" Sky yelled, using her fist to punch in a random wall. Tyler just looked down, disappoint with the result. I went back up, counting how many Ender-eyes we would need. I reached 5 when suddenly a flash blinded me. I (better said, my player) staggered back, almost falling down the side of the staircase. Sky and Tyler joined me on the stairs, both gasping of disbelieve. I rubbed my eyes and gasped at the sight before us.

Suddenly, all eyes were in their respective slot, the portal glowing. I rubbed my eyes again, hoping that it wasn't a dream. The portal was still there.

'Definitively not a dream'

If that wasn't enough though, the portal started glowing and a figure emerged from it, landing on the bottom of the stairs. It landed hard on the stone ground, stopping in the middle of the floor. I hurried down, disbelieve still in my mind but overwhelmed by my curiosity. I stopped when suddenly an Enderman appeared right between me and the dark figure. I looked up, ready to avoid eye-contact. But instead I was faced with the back of the Enderman, who showed more interest in the figure. I quickly walked to the side, pulling out my axe to be certain. I stopped at the opposite side of the chamber, my eyes almost popping out of my head.

There, right in front of me, was a player!

She (I think, because of her long, black with purple tinted hair) looked up at the Enderman, still on the floor (what normally isn't possible in Minecraft).

I immediately remembered something and fear clouded my expression.

"Rule number one: Never look an Enderman in the eyes." I said to myself. It was a rule that even the basic of players knew. It was key to survive.

And it was the one thing that girl (Still not sure if it's a 'she') was doing at that moment.

The female player locked eyes with the black, tall mob. The result was expected: The Enderman revealed it's big, gaping mouth and started shaking, preparing to attack her. I reacted from instinct and jumped over the girl towards the Enderman, who had remained on the floor, before swinging my axe at the tall mob. I hit it in the chest, dealing a lot of damage. By then Sky had also started to react, running down the stairs with her sword, screaming a battle cry before hitting the Enderman from the back. I stopped at the bottom of the stairs, readying myself to strike again. We had caught the attention of the Enderman with our attack, and it instead faced me, it's mouth wide open.

I gulped before charging head on into the mob. It reacted too, hitting my player hard. I flinched back, but instead had given Sky the chance to recover from her attack and jump up, hitting the Enderman in the face, like planned. The mob shook heavily, but it turned to dust, leaving an enderpearl floating on the ground.

Sky looked around to see if there weren't any other mobs nearby. The coast was deemed clear and she put her sword away. I followed the act and then turned to the girl on the floor. She had long, dark hair with a few tints of purple and magenta. She was wearing a black hoodie, that was actually quite big for her. She also had black boots on, but those seemed to be covered under some kind of light-yellow dust (something else that is normally impossible in Minecraft). She looked at the two of us and then up the stairs, to Tyler, who hadn't moved an inch the whole time. I changed my gaze on him I.R.L. and noticed his skin was a few tints paler and his eyes were wide, his mouth slightly hanging open. I reached to his shoulder, grabbing hold of it and shook him a bit. He turned his head to me, his mouth still hanging open. I gestured to his screen causing him to turn to it, noticing that the girl was still fixated on him.

"W-Who are you?" Sky was the first to ask, looking at the girl with a hint of suspicion. I took a good look at the girl and noticed that her eyes were... Moving. Her mouth was slightly... Open. Her body was moving, showing that she was actually... Breathing? I shrugged the impossible things she was doing of, regarding that as something to ask latter. Firstly, she needed first-aid. I moved closer, holding a piece of bread in my hand. She noticed me and took a quick look at the bread, then me again.

She shrugged, crawling back on the floor (seriously, how is this possible in Minecraft?!) I noticed signs of fear in her eyes, that suddenly appeared to be more detailed then anything else around us. Was she even part of the game?

"Hey, we won't hurt you. My name is Archer, what's your name?" I said calmly, slowly getting closer to her. She eyed me with suspicion, looking back at Sky and Tyler and then at me before deeming that we weren't a thread to her like that Enderman was.

"My.. My name is A-Andrea." She said with a very soft and shaking voice. If I wasn't so amazed, I would have freaked out at the fact that her mouth moved along with her voice. I looked at Sky, who was still trying to process everything. I then looked at Tyler next to me, who could only mumble a few things to himself. I appeared to be the only one that actually was able to handle what was going on.

"Hello Andrea. This is Sky and that is Tyler," I gestured to the two respectively. "Can you maybe explain what is going?"

"I..." Andrea started, but was cut of by a rush of purple particles coming from a haunting of Endermen teleporting inside the chamber. I quickly looked at the situation, counting how many we were facing, my mind now in full-on strategy-mode.

"14, 15,... 20! Guys! We can't fight that many!"I yelled, causing Sky and Tyler to get moving. I ran to Andrea and, unbelievably my player offered her a hand (Since when does my player have hands with fingers?) I shrugged the thought away and ran outside the chamber, the Endermen behind us all screaming in unison. We ran through the hall, Andrea amazingly holding on well. We stopped dead-centre in the chamber we came from, something else impossible right before us.

A portal had opened in the chamber, Endermen walking out from it. They formed a wall that we couldn't pass. Behind us the haunting of Endermen from the portal-room gathered around us, all of them with their mouths open and shaking.

I looked around at the situation and quickly checked my inventory, suddenly noticing that I had picked up the enderpearl from that other Enderman we had killed. I brought it to my hand and looked around, trying to find an opening.

"We're so gonna respawn!" Sky said, holding her sword ready to fight.

"Respawn? You're players?" Andrea suddenly asked, standing in the middle of a makeshift circle we had made around her.

"Yes, aren't you?" I said, my mind not yet able to process why that sounded so strange.

"No, but now I know something else to do. " Andrea said, a little bit of confidence in her voice. She grabbed (what?!) the enderpearl from my hand and looked at me. She took a deep breath and threw the enderpearl at my player, right in the eyes. I tried to process what was going on, but I was suddenly tackled by something I.R.L., knocking me from my chair and on the floor. I could barely make out a gasp from Tyler and the touch of something warm on my skin before my head hit the floor, knocking me unconscious.

'Hello darkness.' was all my mind could make out before I lost all sight of things.
