Hello my viewers and welcome to yet another attempt at a Minecraft story! For all of you people who are sending death threats you could stop now! Just kidding, but I tried Minecraft before and it didn't work out as I intended it too. I wasn't getting enough reviews nor did I have time time to jiggle life as a teenager and my stories! Yes believe it or not but we writers love reviews and being a teenager and fighting hormones isn't a walk in the park either! Well, so here we are! Presenting! Minecraft voltage wars!
Minecraft: The Voltage Wars
Chapter 1: The Induction squad
"NO!" "Oh come on!" "Please! We need one more to the team!" "Yeah! It'll be fun!" Now you're probably wondering what the commotion is about but you caught our heroes at an early stage in their quest for greatness.
The girl with brown hair, dark brown eyes, wearing a green sweater with the Pac-man and the four famous ghosts chasing him and black shorts is Sarah Goodtime, a self proclaimed professional gamer, Sarah tends to be found in front of her TV playing video games until the sunrises and is usually found in the morning with a controller in her hand and her fingers twitching.
The chubby kid over there is Kenny Ferguson. Armed simply with a hat and a black shirt that has a diamond pickaxe in front of them, khaki pants and an appetite that a lion couldn't match Kenny likes to play minecraft and making jokes about eating the people he just met with a serious voice. Or that's what his friends tend to tell people.
The leader of the broken up group is Danny Turner, wearing a hoodie marked in front with a creeper and blue stone washed jeans. The slim boy (often described as a ruler) takes the minecraft game TOO seriously, constantly wondering which world is real and how could he 'wake up'.
Although the group is strange, could be described as short a few screws, and definitely different they are inseparable. Well, they thought so until Jack, the missing link in the group, moved away.
Well we can't leave out the very annoyed girl cornered by these three now can we? Her name is Ginger Johnson. Anything but your typical gamer, some could even question if she has even held a controller but she's quite fond of Danny. Very fond indeed.
Wearing a shirt marked 'I heart you' and blue khaki, Ginger has been talented with instruments instead of lightening faster fingers and quick reflexes like her three friends.
"Why do I have to replace Jake anyway?" "Because, for the twenty third time, he moved and we need four people to make a squad!" Kenny said throwing some chips in his mouth, missing mostly...all of them looking awkwardly at Danny to help him out.
"Come on Ginger, it'll be fun! You get to play video games and I can could teach you." Although she had to think twice on Danny's offer she declined once again.
"Did I mention the four thousand dollar prize?" Danny mentioned with a smirk on his face and judging from the smirk on her face and the twinkle in her eye Ginger couldn't deny dollar signs even if she tried.
"Wait a second! If we add her to the group that means we can't split the winnings to mostly me seeing that she's smart and I was the only person who knows how to work a calculator." "That sounds like a personal problem Sarah. Alright Ginger, are you ready to join Induction squad?"
On that note Sarah and Danny got in the Induction squad pose which is only fist bumping high in the air. Apparently Kenny didn't get the memo as he stuffed his face with chips.
"Oh we're doing the thing?" He said falling out of the chair. "You guys are dorks." "We are but we're your dorks." "This better not be a public event." "Yeah...not really..." "What?!" "Well there's a bunch of dudes there that more than likely won't know you!" "Okay good." "I thought you said it would be on TV?" Kenny said.
Danny could only sigh. "Nope." "Come on, four grand..." "Fine! Fine! What do I have to do?" "Your lesson starts today." Ginger was sat in front of Danny's PC and he started the game and the server they are going to the championship with.
After a few hours on the PC Ginger got the basics of the game understanding what all of the controls do etc. She couldn't get the advanced things down in a day but she was a faster learner than Danny expected.
"Alright...so if I put sand in the...oven?" "Furnace but close enough." "Yeah, that. If I do that then it should cook into glass." "Right, you got it! You could make a simple house now. But...you do need to chuck some coal in there." A blush from her simple mistake and a cheer. She began to enjoy the game.
"Whoa, minecraft isn't as bad as I thought it was. It's sort of like real life." "Yeah!" "You know in a very unrealistic and cube world with the sun weirdly a pentagon." "Exactly!" She gave a childish push him and they went to the living room to check on the other two.
Obviously they were playing video games. Not very sure if they're aware of the world around them but they seemed peaceful. You know, accept for the occasional 'Die creeper die' screams.
"Hey guys! Guess who's ready for the tournament?" Shocked she got the skills down they quizzed her and tested her. They weren't fully sure she was ready but she was all they had.
"Alright, you got skills. Not good skills but skills." "Shut it before she changes her mind Kenny." Sarah said. "Alright, let's get this over with. How do you win the tournament?" "We don't decide. Notch does." "Who's Notch?"
The group gasped. "You don't know who Notch is?!" Kenny shouted. "He's more important than the president, are you mad woman?!" "Calm down Sarah. Notch is the creator of minecraft Ginger. He'll be watching us and seeing who is worthy of the title 'King of Minecraft'. A title which will look good on me."
Sarah pushed the boy aside and shoved a magazine in Ginger's face. "And we also need the money to buy new tech. I could hear that plasma screen calling my name..." She said drooling at the paper.
In two weeks time and more practice Sarah became quite good at the game and willing came to learn new stuff. The days went by fast and the day of the championship arrived.
After Mrs. Turner dropped them off to the gaming center they entered the large building equipped with the best gaming technology money could buy. The 'arena' was surrounded by bleachers filled with rookie gamers of all sizes and the background was coated with flat screens.
The center was a large table with sections blocked off with two wooden slabs so the person seated couldn't simply look over to the other person's screen. High speed computers and up to date keyboards and mice were in each section for one player.
The setting got Ginger nervous. She is fairly already afraid to mess up in front of Danny and the others but what if she costs them to lose due to one of her mistakes? She could only follow and do her best. She found a little comfort in knowing Danny wouldn't be hard on her.
"Let's see who we're going up against." Kenny prescribed pointing at the screen. In green you have team Carla's Creepers. In purple there is the Wolf pack. In black, Obsidian crushers. And lastly in blue the Induction squad.
"Whoa...we have some competition guys. Carla and her team are known for sneak attacks. They could storm and clear a base in seconds." Danny said.
"We need to worry about Obsidian crushers. I watch their youtube videos. They know how to make buildings that could withstand anything." "Yeah, wolf pack we could deal with. They could mass an army quickly but usually they're not that strong." Kenny closed.
"Is that who I think it is?!" Danny squealed. He could only have seen Notch. They walked over to the man signing autographs. After introductions were done they asked for any tips from the expert. Quite frankly had more than enough.
"Well thanks for the tips Notch, it's really an honor to met you!" Danny said shaking his hand. "Same, good luck." After the brief talk the competition is nearing the start. The teams got in their respective positions and the spectators secured their seats.
Dirty glances were thrown between the teams. It just may have it that the Induction squad has fought a long and prolonged war against the teams on the voltz war and tekkit combination server.
"Alright! Let's begin!" And on Notch's word the world loaded. Team Induction spawned in the forest with Carla's Creepers not far from their position, about three hundred meters. The teams ran off in their various directions getting materials like there was no tomorrow. "Alright people, Ginger collect as much iron as you can. Kenny start punching trees and get us some wooden swords." "What help would that do?!" "Me and you are going trolling early."
Danny and Kenny left the girls to continue on the house and they both went in the general direction of Carla's team and sure enough they found the four building a small hole in the ground.
"Underground base. She should have done it in the jungle. Carla is getting sloppy." Kenny said focused. "They got no armor and no weapons. They're going to try to punch us with wood to death aren't they." "Probably Danny, let's take them out." "Agreed."
They jumped up from their little hiding spot, typically some dirt blocks and charged the unsuspecting group with weapons primed.
Carla's team was picked off quickly and only she remained. "Nice one Kenny." "I am pretty handy with the sword aren't I?" "Surrender Carla and you'll have a spot behind bars watching our progress to the finish line."
As the teams fought, built, destroyed and even captured a storm quickly brewed in the real world. Flashes of lightening danced across the sky and thunder deafened the ears of many. Danny noticed the flashes. He wasn't fond of lightening, one of his biggest fears to be honest.
"Awww man, Kenny-" "I see it man but you gotta stay in the game!" "Right, right, surrender Car-" Another lightening flash. It struck the building's electrical system and the whole building blacked out. Danny jumped, who could blame him when an evil noise echoed through the room?
The screens flashed and short images were shown. Weird images. An evil laugh echoed in the arena. People looked around only able to see the person right next to them. The gamers refused to move from their stations waiting for the power to be restored to get a jump on the others.
Another flash of lightening and a bang. The chuckling continued and a longer image flickered on the screen. "You thought you could keep me trapped! You were DEAD WRONG!" Notch stood up and out reached his hand.
"Move from the keyboards! NOW!" Some listened others couldn't respond quick enough. Yet another lightening strike and an even bigger bang and the arena shook. The electricity danced across the keyboards holding anyone who came in contact with them.
People nearby tried to pull them off but were thrown back by an electric charge that seemed to have a mind of it's own. Danny and his team struggled to disentangle themselves from the smart electricity but it was no where close to working. Then, suddenly the charge shocked them all unconscious.
And began to shuck them in.
"No! Don't you dare do this!" Notch said talking to the flickering images. "If you want the children back you'll have to come get them yourself!" Danny, his team, Carla, one of her team mates, and three members of wolf pack were knocked unconscious and they were slowly being sucked into the screen.
Whatever had done this had done it well. Nothing was left of the children and were at the mercy of whatever had done this.
Or is it whoever?
Danny began to slowly wake up with the wind hitting his face. He flashed open his eyes and awoke in the middle of a free fall surrounded by his team and others. He screamed obviously frightened and confused waking everyone up and they continued to do the same.
Thankfully they were falling over water and they dove inside hitting the bottom hurting themselves. They swam to shore, exhausted, they laid on the sand trying to catch their breath.
Danny walked on shore and passed out from exhaustion. He looked around seeing his friends doing the same breathing heavily on the strange shores.
"Guys...where are we?" Danny struggled to stand, he couldn't even guess where they are. Sarah stood and looked around fixing her glasses in the process. "Dear God where are we?! We were in the arena last thing I remember and now we're on the freaking beach!" "A square beach..." Carla pointed out the strange square blocks lining the beach.
"Whoa...am I dreaming?" Kenny asked. "No Kenny you would be dreaming about donuts that fly in your mouth." "Oh yeah, not a dream guys. Thanks Sarah." "Guys...have we been sucked into the server?" Danny asked attempting to pick up the sand.
It began to crack. Not even a grain entered the boy's hand but strange cracks appeared over the sand. "Hey man don't fool around with anything!" One of the boys said from wolf pack. Dominick slowly began to dig the sand with his hands and the cracks got bigger and bigger until the block broke.
It disappeared and Danny stood up. "Where did it go?" Ginger asked. Dominick checked his pocket and pulled out the sand block and watched as it spun in his hand.
Astonished, the others looked around and tried stuff related to minecraft. They reached into their pockets opening their fairly small inventory of pretty much ten storage space. In one of these spaces a map was given and in four more spaces was a basic crafting menu. All the standard stuff someone who just spawned in minecraft would have.
Which, is basically nothing but a map.
In the real world smoke drowned the room with it's toxic fumes choking everyone inside. Notch stood and looked around, the thick black smoke clouded his vision. People tried to evacuate out of the building coughing from the fumes and helping others as much as the could.
Notch walked to one of the computers and held the light weight screen. It flickered the same image before. He placed it down and typed away at lightening fast speeds. Codes were punched in. He punched the table with a frustrated groan.
He coughed, the air became thicker. He soon wouldn't be able to breath. He typed even faster and tried the cover his face to breath.
"Dammit, you win this time brother. But they are strong," Another cough escaped his mouth. "They are the best! They'll get out!" "Fool..." The screen talked back. It didn't distract the man. "The only way they'll get out is if you come in." "I won't fall for that, you wouldn't dear kill them." "I know you won't. You're smart I admit brother but you're still human. You need air. You barely escaped last time. You think they can? Even now I'm stronger..."
Notch fell to his knees trying to hold his breath. "You rallied the mob armies haven't you?! You couldn't control them when they were first created and now you think you can when they're nations?!" "I am their god." "You are no god! I took the power away from you! They know gods don't bleed and they'll turn on you!" "Then come save me then brother." Notch pressed enter. He succeeded.
He coughed and fell to the ground. His body needed air. Fire men came inside the room and picked him up waking him. He fought against the men trying to type more codes to help the children but weak from no air he had no choice but to obey.
But on the screen, a wick laugh erupted. He was pleased. His plan was unfolding, eventually Notch would have to save them. Then his vendetta with Notch would be over.
His name...is Herobrine.
"Guys...what are we going to do? We're stuck in minecraft!" Trevor, leader of Wolf pack addressed looking at a block of oak wood.
"I don't know...maybe we should-" "Run! Move people move!" Sarah shouted. A large chest fell from the sky launching sand in the air. Some of the children ducked and some jumped into the water.
They came back to see the large chest. Danny opened it and what was inside astonished them. "Whoa...diamond swords..." Danny whispered. He picked one up and simply glazed the blade with his finger instantly cutting himself.
"Make a mental note, never touch the blade guys." Further inspection showed the blades were enchanted. Danny's blade had power IV. That explains the instant wound. Another diamond and two iron swords had knock back.
Looking into the chest more and more items were found. Food, water, beds, the basic things for life, even a bit of diamonds and iron but the most important is the book marked 'instructions'.
"When does minecraft have instructions?" Trevor asked puzzled. Minecraft was never really a game that required you to fulfill a goal so why start now?
Ginger took the book and read out load.
In the short time I could type this I must warn you. You have been sucked into the minecraft world by my dead brother, Herobrine. His dark magic brought you here but I know you can get out. The only way you can is by defeating Herobrine but be warned! He wants me dead and he used you all as bate but he will likely hunt you down and have you killed either by his hand or by crashing the server. Whatever you do you must protect the people of the game, use the skills and abilities, work as a team, survive! You mus
And the message ended there leaving the children to survive in the new and dangerous world filled with blood thirsty zombies, skeletons wielding bows, creepers skilled with stealth and spiders that pounce from above.
"What now...what do we do?" Carla asked. "I...I thought you would know. We do need a leader." "No Danny, you be leader. You beat me three times in a row in championships. It's all you."
Everyone waited for Danny, a signal, an expression, a command, something but he was instantly silent. He thought for a moment with a blank face. He was nor scared or baffled but a simple wonder dropped into his head.
"I wonder what's on the map." Danny asked. The statement almost sounded cartoonish. It threw off Carla, it wasn't a must you have a map when playing minecraft especially in this type of server. Kenny gave the map to Danny and he inspected the map noticing a few little bunched up dots not to far from them and others scattered everywhere.
"Well...what is it? It's going to get dark soon!" "Oh crap he's right we need to make a shelter!" "Gather some dirt or something guys!" "Stop! We are the members of Wolf Pack, Carla's creepers and Induction squad. We do not sleep in dirt huts. We're better than that."
Trevor gave an annoyed groan. "This is real you idiot! We can die!" "I've been playing this game since I was five and if I've learned one thing from this game is that everything is needed for this world to function. You may think a map is pointless but as you panicked and played around in the dirt I found us a place to sleep tonight."
Everyone rushed to look at the map, unbelievably he was right. "What makes you think they'll just let us sleep there?" Trevor said. "They're human just like us. They should understand no one deserves to sleep outside in a place like this." Danny scowled him and Trevor glared at Danny for being outwitted.
"You're seriously going follow him?! That could be Herobrine for all we know! I think I should lead, Danny is going to get us killed." "Alright," Danny said, he got into Trevor's face. "We'll vote then. All for Trevor to lead say I." His two team members agreed.
"All opposed?" Everyone else requested for Danny to lead. "Wh- what?!" "Well, you were sort of panicking so it's not that big of a shock." "Josh is right, I think Danny should lead on a serious note." "Kelly?! Josh?! My own teammates?" "Don't take it the wrong way dude." Danny said.
"Alright, we move for the village. The sun is in the five o' clock range. Let's go." They started a jog towards the village but Trevor whispered under his breath 'fine then' before he began to jog.
With the fabled Herobrine on the loose and nine children given the weight of the world their first objective was meet and they headed for the village escaping Herobrine for now, trapped in the fun imaginative and deadly world of Minecraft.
Well how was it my viewers? I imagine you liked it, I myself am a very big fan of minecraft and I do hope I shared my passion for the game with you well. Come back for the next chapter The Encounter! Also if you wanna learn about all my characters in detail you could check my biography and their appearances, how they dress etc., all of that is in there. Peace!
