We were never prepared for it. They just…...came. They finally succeeded in killing him. (See the last 2 chapters of The Chronicles Of Klub Ice) He gave his everything, at least that's what I heard, that he went down fighting. But, now he's gone. They came from the sky, the sea; they came from...everywhere. Notch himself went into hiding. Jeb was nowhere to be found. And nobody knows what happened to the rest of Mojang, or the other youtubers who had saved us from them countless times.

The Squids.

We were never ready for them. And now we must pay.

THE MODDED PIXEL: AGE OF THE SQUIDS: PART ONE

I ran. There was nothing else to do. I had to leave the city, leave Shaderdude, leave everyone. If you don't know who I am, I'm Goldensilver. MAybe you read the first journal I left behind (ATTACKOFTHEHAX), maybe you didn't. If you remember at the end a giant squid was attacking the city. We defeated that squid, but it was just a harbinger. A harbinger for the madness that would ensue once Sky was finally killed. I don't know what happened to Shaderdude, but part of me hopes he is dead, the other part, is dying to know that he is alive. I don't know which part to ally myself with. I didn't know where to go, or who to turn to, not during a crisis like this. I took a glance at my city I was abandoning, explosions, fires, buildings reduced to rubble, killer squids, screams, d- I had to look away. I couldn't help them- not now, and possibly never again. In times of crisis, who can you trust? Answer: No one, not even yourself. I pulled out my sword, grit my teeth, and set off.

You can't escape the squids, they're everywhere. Luckily though, they're easy to avoid. It's only if you're swarmed or caught off guard, then you're in trouble. I was far enough from the city, that I couldn't even see it anymore. So I took out one of the things I brought with me. Witherspawn's hacker remote. No one, not even Shaderdude knew I had this. I'd only used it once, and I accidentally blew up a distant mine. Conveniently, there was TNT near it, so everyone though some lava or something had reached it and caused it to explode. I opened the app on the remote that I was looking for, Instabuild. I built an underground base (Instantly, of course), and opened the iron bay doors, and jumped down. Once inside, I unpacked everything that I had brought. Soon I set down my bed, and drifted off to sleep.

Squids. In my base. HOW!? I couldn't escape. But, suddenly they all died. Wait, who killed them, I wondered. Then I saw him, Shaderdude. But this one had a squid head with glowing purple eyes, exactly like an Enderman's. He smiled as he plunged a sword deeper, deeper, and deeper into my chest.

I woke up in a cold sweat. You can't escape the squids anywhere. Not even in your own dreams.

I rummaged through the chests I placed down yesterday.

"Where is it?!" I thought aloud. I checked the enderchest. Empty. The other one must have been destroyed. I needed that tracker, I could find my older bunker, which had much more supplies. Which meant, I had to return to the city, there was no way around it. That was where my tracker was.

"..." I thought. I was just on the outskirts of the city. All was gone. Reduced to rubble. Fires. D- I still couldn't bear to look.

I worked as quickly as possible. Rummaging through the rubble of my destroyed HQ. I found the tracker, surprisingly quickly, but other things were missing. Armor, blueprints, weapons, all gone! Could the squids have taken them? No, they only have one inventory slot, but if there were a lot of them….

I decided to dig around. Those items in the wrong hands…. it would be worse than it was now. I didn't find anything useful that would clue me into where the stuff went, but I did find some strange yellow and black doors in the ground, ones that I never knew were there. I found a crowbar lying nearby, so I picked it up and used it to pry the doors open. And climbed down a long ladder, all the way to bedrock. I hit a lever. And row by row, the long room, which turned out to be a storehouse lit up. And tons of supplies, seemingly random, was stocked up. Including my missing supplies.

"Goldensilver," I jumped. It was the first voice I had heard in a day or so. It was Shaderdude. With some pretty overpowered armor. I took one, solitary look at him, and began the long climb back up.

"Wait," He said, "I know we haven't been good friends lately,"

"Friends?!" I clenched my teeth and said, "Friends? Of course not since the last incident,"

I've never mentioned it, but in the last incident, some Endermen invaded the city, and Shaderdude, he, he,

"You killed innocent people Shader! Defenseless, and for no reason!" I yelled. This why I can't stand to look at dead bodies anymore. And I know what he's going to say, what he always says:

"I'm telling you I was hypnotized by those Endermen!"
"Endermen can't hypnotized people!" I yelled with rage.

"Just stay," Shaderdude said, "Stay and help us, we can defeat those squids. You don't have anywhere else to go,"

It was true.

"Fine," I said, climbing back down, and following Shaderdude to another area of the massive underground facility.
