I said that I would post this tomorrow. I want feedback already! So it's going up today! I've come up with a brilliant idea. See this is not technically in the same series as Alone in the Wild and Back Here in the Wild, but it is connected. It takes place almost eighteen years after the ending of Back Here in the Wild. I won't take up any more of your time telling you about the story, I'll show you instead…

Adam POV

My name is Adam. I turned 18 not too long before some serious stuff took place. My father, you see, is the one and only CaptainSparklez, also known as Jordan. Jordan and my mother, Sierra, took care of me, that is, until he went missing. As far as I know, my father, my uncles Sky and Preston, and a few of the generals of the Sky Army planned a meticulous mission to take down the squids once and for all. They left the day of my 17th birthday. They hadn't come back since.

So, that left my mother and I in worry for over a year. iEcho, Preston's wife, had helped out with us our troubles. Her only son and my cousin, Tristan, however, annoyed me to the point of ripping out my crumpled blonde hair. He was only a year older than me, but acted as if he controlled my life. I hated him for that. Sky had a daughter as well. Her name was Marley. She was sweet, but not one of my best friends. And although she was at least two years younger than me, I respected her.

To tell you this story, I'll start on the day of my 18th birthday. This is when it all went downhill.

I pulled my red hoodie with white laces hanging from the collar over my head. A black belt held my blue jeans from falling. Hurrying up, I tied black sneakers onto my feet. I raced out of my room and rushed down the halls of the living quarters of the Sky Army HQ. Tristan, wearing a black hoodie, ripped black pants, and black sneakers, flipped his rainbow colored hair and pulled my sweater towards him. He leaned against the doorway of his room.

"You're late," he told me, grinning.

"Yeah," I quickly replied and stared at him for a moment, "Why are you not there?"

"It's not my birthday. Don't have to come."

"Don't you think your mom will get mad if you don't show?"

"You think I care?"

I nodded, my eyes wide open in sarcasm.

Tristan rolled his eyes and took the lead. I smirked and followed behind him.

"Tristan!" I heard iEcho yell across the main dining hall, "Where have you been?!"

"Ma!" Tristan replied, annoyed. He struck a glare at me, but all I could do was shrug.

The first person I spotted was Marley. She wore a black dress that went to her knees, black flats, and a black wool hat rested over her wavy brown hair. Her blue eyes glimmered in the sunlight. I had to admit, she was pretty, but not my type. She was my freaking cousin, for Notch's sake.

I snapped out of a trance as soon as my mother pulled me over to one of the tables. A cake sat on top of it. I sighed.

"Ty has arranged for the generals to come and throw a party," Sierra told me, "And guess who's coming?"

"Who?" She should have known I wasn't friends with many of the recruits.

"Mitch."

"He is?"

"I invited him myself."

"Jerome coming too?"

"Honey, you know Jerome is with your father. Don't remind Mitch at the party. You're all he's got of Jordan."

"Okay. Fine."

"Hello Ms. Sparklez," Marley greeted my mom in a small, innocent voice, "I wanted to ask you a question."

"Yes?" She turned around to see Marley holding two flowers. One was purple, the other yellow.

"Which do you prefer?"

"Oh. Yellow. It shows off Adam's amulet."

I forgot to mention I had an amulet with an iron outside and budder inside. Oops. Back to the story…

Sierra spun back around to face me, "Now, don't play any jokes with Tristan. I'll be watching you two." She backed away and met up with iEcho. They begun chatting about something, most likely how nice and uncomplicated Marley was compared to Tristan and I. We were considered the "trouble makers" in the new generation of recruits. But Tristan had his own troublemaking friends, and I didn't bother to join in with them. I wasn't that type of guy.

For example, on that same day of my birthday, Tristan and one of his friends had pulled down my pants in front of my whole training group. Embarrassed, I ran back to my room. That's why I had a belt. Ah… see? The day before that, the same two boys and a few of their friends tricked a girl who I liked into believing that I worked for the squids. When it came time for a duel between me and the girl, she beat me with a stick. A stick! I had a wood sword! Everyone laughed, but I stood my ground and told off Tristan. That didn't end so well. But enough of mentioning my horrible life with my cousin. Story time!

"Hi," Marley sat down next to me, a bright smile on her face, "Happy birthday, Adam."

"Thanks," I replied. We paused a moment, "Did you see yesterday…?"

"Yes. Tristan was being very mean."

Another awkward pause emerged, this one more strange than the first. "Do you miss your father?"

"I guess so. Haven't seen him in a year… But your mother and your aunt Echo have been taking care of me. It's all good. Do you miss your dad?"

"Yeah. Sure. We didn't do much together anyways. I just know that he was an important general. Yours, however, was leader."

"Is leader."

"Is. Isn't that what I said?"

"No. You said was."

"Whatever."

"My father is not dead. Sky is living, and I know that for a fact."

"You do? Show me."

Marley crouched back a bit, scared from her new-found personality, "Uh…"

"Sorry."

"I'll see you later Adam." She stood up and found Sierra, remaining by her side the rest of the preparation.

When I turned my head to the other side of Sierra and Marley, I found Tristan next to me.

"What are you doing?" I asked him.

"I overheard your little conversation. Do you really think that our dads are dead?"

"No. I don't."

"Why did you say it then?"

"Cause… I don't know."

"Do you not believe her? The poor little girl…" Tristan begun to mock Marley by putting his hands to his eyes, imitating crying.

"Shut up, Tristan."

"The generals actually like her. They think she'll be the new Sky Army leader when she's older."

"Really?"

He nodded, "None of the training we do counts for anything. When she's leader, kicking us out will be the first thing on her list."

"Marley wouldn't do that…"

"You think?"

"I trust her. Not you."

"Okay. Think what you want… I'm gonna tell you a little secret."

"Why?"

"Cause I wanna."

"So… what's the secret?"

"I'm heading out of here."

"What?"

"After the party, I'm leaving HQ. I'm looking for my dad. I've got to get him back."

"No! Tristan! It's absurd! You could get yourself killed out there!"

"I heard your dad was never afraid of leaving HQ."

"I heard yours got kidnapped by Herobrine!"

"I heard that your dad killed Herobrine!"

I became silent, "He killed Herobrine?" No one had mentioned this, and Tristan was the last person I thought to hear this from.

"Yep. Wanna come?"

"No. But I'm gonna stop you from leaving."

"Really? With what army?"

"What army? I've got no army and you know it! It'll be me and only me!"

"You won't catch me, Addy."

"Don't call me Addy."

"Addy, Maddy, Saddy!"

"Shut up!" I stood and forced Tristan off of the chair he sat on.

"What was that for?"

"For calling me Addy!"

I growled and stomped off, furious. But I was determined to keep Tristan from leaving HQ. I only needed a plan.

Hope you liked it! I will also be accepting new OC's for this. Of course I'll be using the old ones as well, but the original characters will not be seen as much.
