"Run!" This was the only thought in my mind as I barreled through the forest. I was ashamed of myself for running from these squids, but I had no choice. They were far too strong and numerous for a single person to handle, no matter how powerful they were.
Let me explain myself. My name is SkythekidRS, or Sky for short. I am also known as the Budder king by my loyal Sky army. I have battled the evil squids for many years, and I use the power of Budder to help me. I have heard some call it… *Shudders* "Gold," but it's true name is budder.
I would normally never run from the squids, as I would try to kill them with my budder axe, but this was different. The squids had been getting smarter for some time, and now they had become a huge danger for my army. I had been out on a scouting trip with a recruit in my army, looking for potential places for outposts of our base. Just because I am the leader of a huge army doesn't mean I am too good to do real work. Every hand is needed in the fight for survival against the squid army.
While we were returning from our trip, we were ambushed by a large group of sword-wielding squids. I believe that the recruit's name was something along the lines of "Random_Guy4Hire", but I can't always remember the names of everyone in my whole army. He was the first to get attacked by the squids. After just a few short moments into the fight, I realized we were already being overpowered, and that the Squids were still sending in reinforcements.
I searched through my hotbar as we began our retreat towards the base. I only had a half-used budder sword, a bow, and a few arrows. I also had a few dirt blocks, but those wouldn't be much help. I only hoped I had something more useful deeper in my inventory. I told the recruit to cover me while I tried to find a means of escape. He began to shoot his arrows at the squids while a used the dirt to make an impromptu wall to hide me.
As soon as I was out of the way of immediate fire, I opened my inventory, searching for anything useful. I only found some string, a gunpowder, a flint and steel with only 1 use left, a half-stack of cobble, an emergency crafting table, and…. AN ENDERPEARL! But I only had one. The thought to use it for myself never even crossed my mind. I took the table and set it on the ground, crafting quickly, because the squids were getting closer.
I took an arrow and stuffed the gunpowder into the feather. Then I took the enderpearl and attached it to the tip of the arrow, tying it on with the string. I called my recruit over and told him my plan. He was hesitant at first, but then I ordered him to save himself. He set his bow towards our base and placed the ender-arrow into it. I set the gunpowder alight with my flint and steel's last use, to give it an extra boost. He then tapped the pearl to link it to himself, and fired it as far as he could. The arrow shot across the sky and landed almost 1,600 blocks away, right in front of the base.
The instant the pearl on top of the arrow hit the ground, he shimmered before vanishing into a flurry of ender-particles. The instant he was fully gone, I turned and ran for my life towards the same place. Seconds after I left my hiding spot, the squids broke through the dirt barrier and began to follow me. The next 20 minutes were very hard on my body as I pushed it to it's limits. Now I'm back to the present, a just under 900 blocks from the base.
I'm so exhausted from the run, it feels like my legs and chest were burning. An arrow from one of the only squid archers in that group had managed to graze the top of my shoulder, leaving an open wound that bled as I ran. I knew that after the recruit got to the base he would warn everyone of the trouble I was in, and a group of fighters could not be more than 250 blocks from me. I just had to make it to them, then I would be fine.
5 minutes later, I could hear a portion of my army getting closer. I tried my best to yell for them, but my throat was hoarse from screams of pain and the long run. Almost no sound came out, but I knew that it was enough for my army to hear. Within a minute, I was being tended to in a makeshift shelter by a healer who had come with the division of my army. She bandaged the wound on my shoulder, and then gave me a bucket of water with a few drops of regen potion in it. We could not afford to waste a whole potion, the entire army was under some hard times and a full potion was to be used only if the wounds were serious.
*Back at Sky army HQ later that night* I stood up on a small podium and addressed the sky army for the first time since I returned from the battle with those squids. The group from my army was large enough to defeat the entire squid group, with only a few people seriously hurt. "Sky army!" Today an attack was made on me by the squids. I made it out alive and mostly unharmed, but the squids are getting smarter. We have to move bases again, there are not enough resources left in this area to support the whole army if lots of squids attack. Prepare to leave base at 0-800 hours two days from now. That is all." The army seemed sad. Although the number of resources was rather disappointing, the location of the base was very beautiful. There were a few trees and some lovely waterfalls on the side of the mountain the base was built into, and there was a nice flowered grassland beyond.
*Meanwhile, in overworld Squid HQ,* "Everyone be quiet, the Squid captain is about to give his speech." "As you all know, today we ambushed Sky and one of his recruits far from their base. Although we lost several men, we gained yet another new piece of technology. We saw Sky's recruit fire a special arrow that Sky seemed to have made. Our Squid scientists have experimented and found what they believe to be the crafting recipe for this new type of arrow. They have even made several improvements that give it an even longer range. We may have lost today, but we are now stronger for tomorrow! You are now dismissed."
So, what did you think? Feel free to leave any constructive criticism in the comments, just don't give hate comments with no reason. Also, in this fanfic, Sky and everyone are non-blocky characters that live in minecraft; they just send videos into our world. Also, imagine all living creatures to also be non-blocks. Inanimate objects are still blocky. Bye everyone!
