Minecraft: Vengeance.

Chapter 1: Goggles.

Hey guys! Jman14102 here with a Minecraft fanfiction that is pretty good for my first one. I've watched Zoeya's and Rythian's Tekkit and Tekkit: Rebirth series and have always asked myself:" What happened to Rythian after the events of Rebirth's Episode 17?" Well, I'm here to answer that question in Minecraft: Vengeance. This story may contain plot spoilers for anybody who hasn't watched the series completely. But why am I still talking? You guys came to read this story! Enjoy! Oh, yeah, I don't own Minecraft or any of the characters in the story… except for one. But that's for a later chapter.

A man was sifting through the black rubble, frantically calling a name over and over again. The darkness limited the view to but a few yards, there was not a sound in the air except for the falling rain and occasional crack of thunder. Everything was deathly quiet. And that's what he was worried about. She had told him she was fine, that she was 98% sure that she could do this. Well, maybe 97%... actually, maybe 96- This is not the time to think about that! He and their friend had cleared out of the area, making it about as far as the Nether Portal, it was nighttime before they heard the explosion, felt the shockwave, saw the smoke. At that point he had raced back to where their fortress had been, only to find a gigantic crater that was deeper and wider than any crater he had ever seen. Now he was searching desperately through the blackened debris, hoping for a miracle of some kind. After about an hour of fruitless seeking, the thought occurred to him to search the mines; she had to be down there. She had to. But he couldn't even find the entrance; everything was buried in bits and pieces of broken rock. But as he was looking for the entrance, his foot brushed against something, it felt different from the crushed stone and scorched metal that he had trudged through before. He shined his torch along the ground and when he saw what he had brushed against; he put his torch on the ground slowly and sank to his knees.

No. He thought, unable to speak. No it can't be. It can't be.

He slowly picked the object up in his shaking hands and looked at it. How it hadn't been vaporized in the blast he didn't know, but he didn't care at all about that. What he cared about was that this had belonged to her, and she was wearing them when she went down to take care of the dangerous situation that was under their house.

It was a pair of worn, green, goggles.

Hers.

If they were here then she was almost certainly- almost certain-.

He couldn't bear the thought of it. He couldn't. He. Couldn't.

She's…Dead.

He started crying then, clutching the goggles to his chest as he realized that these were the only memory he had of her now. Sobbing, drenched from head to toe in cold rain, he looked up at the dark nighttime skies and let out a long, heartbreaking, scream of sadness, anger, pain, and loss. He poured every heart-felt tear into that earsplitting scream before collapsing on his side into the wet mud and curling into a fetal ball, still clutching the goggles to his chest. He continued to whimper, and cry for a very long time before letting out one last shriek of anguish, wailing the name of his partner again and again, knowing that he would never see her again, never see her smile again, or hear her laugh, or see her sparkling eyes. He would never be able to see any of those things he loved so much about her. And the worst part of all was that he would never get to tell her how he truly felt about her.

He…He loved her.

When she had left before, everything had lost meaning to him, the magic was meaningless, the fortress, anything that wasn't related to her in some way, pointless. When she came back however, everything had meaning again, he felt complete. Now… She was gone for good this time. Without her, he would never feel whole again. He was a king without his queen, a knight without his armor, a mage without his apprentice.

He didn't know how long he had lain there, but when he looked up he saw that the sun was beginning to rise. He felt an emptiness suddenly appear in his chest where his heart used to be. A deep sense of longing filled that area of his body and he knew that it would never go away. He blamed himself; he should have talked her out of it, he should have gone instead, he should have told her how much he loved her. It was his fault. It was his fault. It was all-.

A new feeling quickly filled his heart.

Rage.

That bastard. It was all his fault.

It was his fault she was dead.

He sat up and looked at the glowing orb of yellow slowly coming over the horizon. He realized what he had to do now.

He would make him pay.

He would make them all pay.

Pay for what they did to her.

Did to them.

He stood and looked at the goggles still held in his hand. The pain in his heart giving him purpose again.

"I'm coming for you, Duncan." Rythian said, his eyes burning a dark violet as he pulled out his katar. In his mind he could see it slicing through Duncan's throat as he held him against a wall.

Rythian looked at the sun moving into the sky, then at the crater where his home and his love used to be, then at the goggles.

"We're coming for you."

He pulled Zoey's goggles onto his head, looked off in the distance, and walked towards Duncan's castle.

Vengeance was coming. Rage at a man who took another man's one true love away from them. There would be no mercy. None.

So, not bad for a first fanfiction, huh? Well, I managed to type this in three days and I'm really happy with the results. There will be more chapters to come, so keep your eyes peeled for more. I'm trying to get my writing style to be as cool an as those of other writers such as Mustaches and Yumleethelimabean (Yes that is an account.). Check out their stories as well. Also, if you read some of their stories, I did NOT, I repeat, NOT, copy them (Specifically Yumlee.). Also, if you can't tell by now, I'm a big Zoeythian fan. So, yeah. Well, looks like I'm blathering on again. Quoting everyone's favorite dwarf: See you later shitlords!
