The Adventures of Mr Squiggles

The Legend of the Sword of Darkness: The Search for the Blade of Light Part 1

Author's note: Here's part two of The Legend of the Sword of Darkness! Herobrine and Mr Squiggles have another epic battle, and sadly, Herobrine kills Mr Squiggles' other friend Patrick (no offence to people called Patrick, I couldn't think of another name)

Chapter 1: A Series of Unfortunate Explosions

"…And in further news today, the village has recently been struck by massive explosions destroying everything from local homes to peaceful farms. Also we are-"

The reporter disappeared as the TV showed nothing but static. Mr Squiggles sighed. It was 6 weeks since he had last seen any destruction when the feared Lord of Darkness Herobrine had created the legendary and unstoppable Sword of Darkness and threatened to destroy Minecraft. He'd killed one of Mr Squiggle's friends, Bob, by throwing a pickaxe at his head and knocking him off a cliff into a pit of lava. Then he had thrown six swords at Mr Squiggle's other friend Joe and the swords had impaled him – all of them ending up at least an inch from his heart. Herobrine had created the Sword of Darkness and then was pushed into a pit of lava (ironic isn't it, Herobrine pushed Bob into lava and then the same fate befell upon him). Everyone believed (and hoped, mostly hoped) that Herobrine and the Sword of Darkness were gone for good.

But then, two weeks after the events on the Cliffs of Despair, ominous black clouds had surrounded the swirling vortex of despair that had come to rest on the summit of the mountain and there was a crackling black ring of energy surrounding the top of the mountain, so it looked like it was wearing an evil black halo. Then the earthquakes, forest fires, and explosions arrived. Earthquakes knocked tall towers down, forest fires burnt crops and pigs and trees, and the explosions destroyed houses. There was an ominous rumbling in the back room of Mr Squiggle's forge. And then… KA-BLAMMO! Just before the house exploded, Mr Squiggles leapt quickly into the underground passage-ways and blocked the entrance. Despite being 200 blocks below ground level, the iron passages shuddered… then stopped.

Mr Squiggles sighed again and trudged past abandoned mine tracks and climbed a ladder. He opened the trapdoor and smashed through the bed it was below. Joe flew up off the bed and screamed.

"Mr Squiggles! I told you to never come through there! I was asleep and you burst through my bed and now it's broken! Where can I sleep now?"

"Never mind that now. We have to visit the village historian to find out what's going on at the top of the mountain!"

Three hours later

After three hours of dodging explosions, they arrived at the Museum of Natural History and Random Stuff Like That. The historian was called Patrick, and he told them that the only way to stop the Sword of Darkness was to find its opposite: The Blade of Light. They told the historian how the Sword of Darkness was crafted from the Sword of Soul, the Soul Blade and the Chance Blade on the Crafting Table of Darkness.

"Ah yes. The Sword of Darkness was crafted on top of the Cliffs of Despair. The Blade of Light's crafting table is called the Crafting Table of the Sky, and it is found in the Sky Realm", Patrick explained to them. "You need to find the Holy Blade, the Weird Blade and the Luck's Edge to craft the Blade of Light and defeat Herobrine. I shall come with you on your journeys to make sure you find the right swords. Do you have any weapons?"

"We did have the six swords Joe was stabbed with in my forge but they exploded", Mr Squiggles said. "I can craft some diamond swords in the Underground Forges though…"

The next day

With their inventories filled with food, water, milk, crafting tables, furnaces, enchantment tables, brewing stands, ores and materials, the trio set off towards where the three swords were cast in an attempt to destroy them. Hell.

They arrived at the underground Hellgate Room. There were beds there, which they slept on to regain health. Then they ventured through the portal, to find the swords of the Blade of Light. They ran into trouble straight away. Through the smoke from the lava, Herobrine flew in riding on some Ghasts.

"I'll let my Ghasts take care of you. I really don't want you to find that Blade of Light, you know. If you do, it could be the end of my little plot here. You see, I want to destroy you and rule over Minecraft. I have foreseen the Future, Mr Squiggles. I shall not rule Minecraft. So I shall create my own continent. Two land-masses the size of supercontinents cannot share the same space, so the new one will simply swamp the old one. Minecraft will be gone forever, and I shall have the Minecraftians begging to have a dry home. I'll charge them thousands of dollars per person, but they'll have to pay to avoid being drowned by the seas and of course, eaten by my Krakens!"

"You've been watching too much of Superman Returns!" yelled Patrick. "You're a Minecraftian Lex Luthor!"

Herobrine smirked. Then he turned and vanished. One of the Ghasts shot out a fireball at Mr Squiggles, who was hit in the face.

"Aaaaaah, it burns!" he yelled. He reached in his pockets and brought out three bottles.

"Here drink these. They're advanced Fire Resistance potions."

After drinking the potions, the three simply walked through the blazing mass of fireballs being blasted at them. The Ghasts were worried. This had never happened to them before. They flew off in fright.

"That went well," Mr Squiggles said happily. He spotted a gold sword with a ruby handle.

"The Weird Blade…"

He picked it up; it was heavy. The bottom of the hilt rattled. It wasn't secure. Mr Squiggles pulled it out and found a piece of paper which read:

Author's Note: End of Chapter 1! I'm obviously going to leave you in suspense. In the next chapter I'll post what the letter says. Positive and negative reviews are welcome, and PM me with ideas!
