PART 2: ADVENTURES
Day 9
Steve woke up in his bed on top of a tree. He got up and jumped down. Everything was peaceful until he heard the sound of impalement followed by a barely audable, "Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuude." then everything went silent. All of a sudden, something grabbed Steve and shoved him against a tree.
"GIVE ME ALL YOUR ITEMS!" the player screamed. "NOW!"
Steve ejected several diamonds he collected from chests. The player grabbed them and got ready to split, until he heard the sound of barking. The player stepped back and ran the oppisite direction before a wolf leaped out of the bushes. The player tripped and fell down just in time for the wolf to catch up and gruesomly rip him to pieces. Several items fell out of the player, along with DudehowRadical's lucky lapis lazuli block. Steve sighed. He approached the dog. The collar said, "Calpurnia". Steve remembred the name from the cage at Supemoose's shelter.
"Over here!" Steve heard a familiar voice shout. "Supemoose!" Steve yelled in surprise. Supemoose handed Steve some food. "Meet my dog, Calpurnia," Supemoose said, pointing at the dog. "She's our protection. Thankfully, this faction has an 'armor your pooch' mod, so our dog in super powerful." AlbonzoBean nodded in agreement.
"Oh, and by the way, everybody hates us, so if anybody sees you, they'll kill you."
"Why?"
"We were caught spying on PrinceLuna and his goons, and nobody likes that. So what are you doing?"
"I'm heading to PrinceLuna's castle..."
"Wait-we're supposed to be going AWAY from the spawn. Not towards it!"
"But I want to fight back!"
FluttershyHardcoreCuddle popped out of nowhere.
"Yeah! What he...Supemoose."
FluttershyHardcoreCuddle said with his eyes narrowed.
"FluttershyHardcoreCuddle!" Supemoose announced.
"Long time no see."
Steve was curious. "You guys know eachother?"
"Supemoose killed our star member, NeighcombShutterPants!"
Steve cocked his eyebrow. "What's with all these usernames?" he thought to himself.
"He was trying to kill me!" Supemoose argued.
"That is not the AllaboutHorses way. We do not kill our of random."
"GUYS!" Steve yelled at the top of his lungs. They both shut up.
"Can't we work together?"
Supemoose sighed.
"I guess."
"Now we're working together to travel to PrinceLuna's castle, whether we like it or not!"
Supemoose, Albonzo and FluttershyHardcoreCuddle nodded and shook on it.
"Let's start our journey."
The four players ventured far and wide until nighttime. They were looking for shelter when Steve cleared some webs. Steve's eyes widened when he found the CliqueGirlz' abandoned shelter.
"Guys! I found shelter!" Steve announced. The three players followed Steve into the shelter.
Day 10
PrinceLuna messaged Therapist through private chat.
"Therapist," PrinceLuna started.
"Have you found anything suspicious?"
"Not yet. Everybody's hiding in their shelters. What's this?"
"What is it?"
"I found refugees in the FashionableCliqueGirlz' shelter." Therapist's deep voice made the faction's name sound a tad bit funny.
PrinceLuna's cube fist slammed the table. "SURVIVORS! Therapist! Stay there! I'll hack you into the shelter!"
Albonzo jumped up. "Intruders!" he alarmed. The three others leaped up. Calpurnia wagged her tail with excitement. A sword stuck through the pink wool and made a circle.
"Circles do exist in Minecraftia!" FluttershyHardcoreCuddle yelped. Three goons leaped out of the circle, all yielding complete diamond sets. Therapist approached the three minions.
"Sieze them." his booming voice demanded.
"Cue the action music!"
One of the goons stuck a music disc in the jukebox. Sure enough, it was the most hardcore fighting music one could think of.
The goons raced into the four players.
Steve grabbed one of the goons and resisted his attack. The goon reached for his sword and slashed Steve, who jumped back in pain. Steve grabbed a handful of wool and started bludgeoning the goon with it.
Supemoose and Albonzo were surrounded by one big goon who was hacked to be bigger than usual. AlbonzoBean charged at the goon and ran up its arm. He wielded his sword and stabbed his neck. The goon was briefly immobilized, giving Supemoose time to shoot some arrows. The goon moved again. The brothers prepared to repeat the process.
FluttershyHardcoreCuddle grabbed a chair and slammed it against the goon's head. The goon staggered towards a chest and brought out a diamond sword. FluttershyHardcoreCuddle brought out his sword as well. The two battled, clanging their swords together.
Steve held a table against himself, blocking the sword strikes. Steve rammed the table against the goon, pushing the goon against a wall. They both fell down a large pit with lava at the bottom. Steve grabbef a hold of the ledge and watched the goon fall down the pit. Steve sighed and climbed back up.
Supemoose and Albonzo successfully took down the goon and stole its items.
FluttershyHardcoreCuddle stabbed the goon through the chest. The goon limped backwards into the pit along with the other goon.
The four players were panting with relief until they saw Therapist smiling at them.
"Therapist!" Supemoose growled.
"We all know what's under that armor. You don't want us to kill you so everybody back at the spawn can see your full frontal skin, don't you?"
" You cheat!" Therapist growled. "That was supposed to be a secret!"
"You better leave if you want to keep it that way."
Therapist roared and left the shelter.
Day 11
The four travelers left their shelter the next morning. They had just made their way up a huge series of mountains in which they decided to travel on. They decided to take a break and take a nice look at the view. They all sat down and grabbed a steak.
Steve saw all the shelters and even some other players, upon looking hard enough.
"It's beautiful!" FluttershyHardcoreCuddle gasped.
"And there's PrinceLuna's castle." Supemoose pointed at a small speck in mid air.
"I'm pretty sure if we get closer we'll see more of the castle."
PrinceLuna growled at Therapist's news.
"I'm sorry sir," He groaned. "They were too good. And they threatened to take my armor, and leave me with this embarassing skin you gave me."
"Apologies won't do!" PrinceLuna scolded. "If only I can do something myself..."
"What is it master?"
"One thing can be done."
Steve was lying down splayed out on the grass when he heard pigs.
"Pigs?" Steve wondered. He crept around a corner and a strange looking pig with a gold sword.
"What the Nether?"
Steve slowly approached the pig.
"It's alright piggy. I'm not going to hurt you. I just wanna pet you HOLY FUDGE I'M SO SORRY I DIDN'T MEAN TO HIT YOU!" The pig slicex Steve with its sword before Steve ran like crazy.
"DEMON PIGS! DEMON PIGS!"
The pigs chased Steve until Supemoose and AlbonzoBean took them all out.
"Zombie pigmen? They were supposed to be in the N-"
A fireball hit Supemoose. He jumped back in pain. The four travelers saw a ghast making its way to them.
"Grab your pickaxes! We're going underground!"
They all vigorously picked at the ground. And then they fell a long distance. Thankfully they hit water.
Day 12
FluttershyHardcoreCuddle brought out a torch and mounted it on the wall. They were in the middle of a huge underground canyon.
"Anybody have a compass?" Supemoose asked.
The others shook their heads.
"Iron?"
The others shook their heads.
"Redstone?"
The others shook their heads.
"We must split up and find supplies for compasses."
They all split up.
Steve mined a long tunnel and found no ores except for some coal.
He sat and checked his crafting book for iron (page 15). The book said they were commonly found in layers 0-64. Steve checked how deep he was. He was about 67 layers deep. He cursed and turned to leave the tunnel. He ran towards the end and found a turn. He took the turn and found another turn. He kept turning for minutes only to find out he dug his own personal labrynth.
Even worse, his pickaxe broke, so he couldn't find a way out.
"ANYBODY?" Steve screamed.
"HEEEELLLLPPPP!"
Day 13
Steve ran through his maze for the 5th time when he turned the corner to find another player.
"HEY!" Steve yelled at the player. The player stayed there.
"Thank God there's somebody else here other than me..."
The player stayed.
"Are you alright?" Steve asked, carefully approaching the player.
Steve set a torch next to the player. The player stayef still. His face was upside down.
"Whoa!" Steve jumped back.
"That's kinda creepy..."
The player stayed still.
Steve felt faint when the player's head slipped off of his body like butter on a tilted plate. Steve stepped back and spun around, to see another player standing still. Steve slowly approached that one, wielding his sword.
"Whoever's doing this...it's not funny..."
That player's torso fell back, leaving the legs standing there. Steve screamed like a girl and turned another turn, to find a player that looked like him, but with blank white eyes. The player slowly turned his head to Steve. Then the player's mouth grew so wide it covered its face. Then the player sunk into the ground, like the ground was some portal.
Supemoose and Albonzo followed Calpurnia to Steve, who was lying in a tight fetal position, shivering.
"So, what you saw was Herobrine."
"Who?"
"Herobrine is Notch's dead brother. But he doesn't exist."
Steve sat back down onto a piece of cobblestone. Then what did he see?
FluttershyHardcoreCudfle sighed.
"Let's continue on then."
"Besides, the server's on peaceful right now. What would Herobrine be doing on a peaceful server?"
"Many things." Steve whispered to himself.
"A WHAT server?" PrinceLuna screamed. "I never wanted this to be on peaceful!"
Therapist coughed. "But PrinceLuna...you made it that way."
"I didn't make anything that way!" PrinceLuna burst into flames, Java script running through his eyes again. Two creepers spawned out of thin air and darted at the guards next to PrinceLuna's throne and exploded, blowing the guards to pieces.
"Somebody's tampering with the server! And it's not me!" PrinceLuna growled. "Therapist!"
"Yes, your majesty?"
"Track down whoever looks suspicious, regardless of age or innocence! If they look suspicious, kill them! KILL THEM!"
"Yes sir." Therapist bowed.
"Oh, and so you don't fail again," PrinceLuna's eyes filled with Java script again. Therapist looked at his body. His armor started sparkling, and his body filled with a special energy.
"Did you replace my skin?"
"No," PrinceLuna retorted. "It wouldn't be funny if I did. Now if you kill the suspicious people, then we'll talk about replacing your skin with a better one."
"Thank you master!" Therapist said before running off into the night.
Day 14
Our four heroes and Calpurnia continued through the underground canyon.
FluttershyHardcoreCuddle stopped in his tracks. "Do you hear that?"
Steve stopped. "I hear it too."
Something other than the four travelers was following them.
SPROING!
Everybody flinched.
"What was that?" AlbonzoBean panicked.
FluttershyHardcoreCuddle pulled an arrow out of his arm.
"Oh crap."
Steve jumped up and down.
"OVER THERE! THE EXIT! WE CAN MAKE IT IF WE RUUUUNNNNN!"
Everybody started running. Rows od skeletons pointed their bows at the players and shot. Arrows were flying everywhere, barely missing the players.
When they reached the exit, Supemoose made a tower of blocks to make it back up. Everybody was on it but FluttershyHardcoreCuddle.
"Grab my hand!" AlbonzoBean ordered.
FluttershyHardcoreCuddle grabbed Albonzo's hand, who was being held up by Steve, while Supemoose continued making the tower. Arrows hit the wall inches away from the players. FluttershyHardcoreCuddle looked back at the millions of skeleton archers, who were looking up at him.
Supemoose stopped making the tower.
"Why did you stop?" Steve called out.
"Out of cobblestone!"
"Well, what will we do now?"
The four heroes and Calpurnia were trapped 5 blocks from the surface, arrows barely missing them.
"This sucks. Supemoose?"
Supemoose dug straight foward instead of building up.
The others shrugged and followed him.
Supemoose led them up to the surface by making stairs. Steve crawled up the stairs and gasped for fresh air.
"It was so stuffy down there!" Steve exclaimed.
Supemoose and AlbonzoBean munched on some ham.
Steve continued thinking about what he saw down in the mines.
PrinceLuna set him and Therapist on private chat.
"Therapist...did you kill anybody?"
"No master."
"Did you find those four fools?"
"No sir."
"Then keep looking. And don't give up. And when you find them, don't hesitate. Don't bring mercy."
Steve rustled through the vines, looking for some wood. He found a 4x4 tree, to Steve's amazement.
Steve prepared to punch it, but he was pushed out of the way. Another figure with a leaf dress skin axed the tree to pieces.
"Hey! My wood!"Steve complained.
Steve wrestled the player down.
The player surrendered. "STOOOOOP!"
Steve let go.
"I see you are mad...and that makes me sad..."
"What?" Steve asked in a confused manner.
"Come on inside just peel off the bark, as you can see it's getting dark."
Steve beckoned the others to follow the player inside.
Steve peeled bark off a tree and it revealed a doorway. Steve stepped inside.
"Who are you?"
"HoneyLet'sMeditate64."
Steve cocked an eyebrow.
"This is the place where I hide from all that blood and gore."
"What do you do all day?"
"I like to collect food and cook, with the help of mods, none of my recipes can be find in my crafting book."
FluttershyHardcoreCuddle snuck into a room to take some items.
"Do you have any compasses?" Supemoose asked HoneyLet'sMeditate. "We're trying to make it to PrinceLuna's castle."
HoneyLet'sMeditate turned to Supemoose.
"If PrinceLuna's castle is what you seek..." HoneyLet'sMeditate pointed out the window at a dark castle.
"You must make it through Valient Peak."
"Valient...Peak?"
"In order to make it to PrinceLuna's castle...you and your team must make it through a hassle."
AlbonzoBean and FluttershyHardcoreCuddle were stealing powdered sugar.
"We're just borrowing it," FluttershyHardcoreCuddle laughed.
Steve settled down in a bed. He was about to shut his eyes when he saw something in the corner of his eye. He looked to see the same figure in his image staring at him through the window. Then he dissapeared.
Day 15
Therapist woke from his sleep. He yawned before jumping down.
"THERAPIST."
Therapist jumped.
"Oh...it's just you, master."
"Anything suspicious?"
"Um..."
PrinceLuna screamed.
"You're lucky I'm in my good mood today, or I would've hacked your leggings off!"
Therapist screamed.
"Find something!" PrinceLuna ordered before hanging up.
Therapist craned his neck and found HoneyLetsMeditate's cottage. And his four targets' voices were heard from inside.
"Bingo," Therapist chuckled.
Steve dragged his feet out into the dining room.
"Here, this you must eat, and before you know it, you'll be back up on your feet."
HoneyLetsMeditate handed Steve a bowl of mushroom stew. Steve moaned in satisfaction while gulping the stew up.
"Where did you get those mushrooms?" Steve wondered.
HoneyLetsMeditate took him to an outdoor cage with a mushroom cow. HoneyLetsMeditate lent Steve a bowl.
"Milk it."
"Milk it?"
Steve kneeled down and stuck the bowl underneath the mushroom cow's utter. He squeezed the utter and watched in horror as mushroom chunks and broth slid out, kind of like how rotton milk comes out in chunks when you pour it. The cow's utter was dripping with mushroomy broth, much to Steve's newly attained phobia of mushrooms.
Steve went in the house to find the others tied up with gags to the mouths. Steve gasped. Until he heard the sickening sound of meat being sliced followed by a depressing MROOOOO!
Steve darted outside and found the dead mushroom cow.
Steve gasped again and got grappled and pulled into the house. He was thrown across the table. It was Therapist.
"Therapist?" Steve was astonished.
"Yes. Therapist."
Therapist grabbed Steve and slugged him at the wall. Steve hit the wall with a huge THUD. Steve shot an arrow. The arrown hit Therapist. Therapist stood there, took the arrow out, and examined it.
"Thanks," Therapist said in a deadtone voice. He ran up the wall and on the cieling.
"You gotta love hacks, right?" Therapist joked. He shot fire out of his hands. Steve dodged. Therapist summoned a bedrock sword that grew four blades that surrounded the central blade. Therapist charged at Steve holding the sword with its blades facing away from Therapist. Steve dodged just in time to see the blade go through the wall. The fire Therapist shot started burning the cottage down.
But the fight was still tense.
Therapist yanked his bedrock sword out of the wall and started slashing at Steve. Steve grabbed a chair to block the swings. One swing sliced the table in half. He jumped onto Therapist, whacking him with the leg of the chair, producing fully audible whacks. It wasn't long until Therapist's helmet broke off. Therapist gasped and flew off into the distance, using the wall as a door.
Steve untied his friends.
FluttershyHardcoreCuddle gasped and passed out. Supemoose, AlbonzoBean and HoneyLetsMeditate got back up and stretched.
"You guys better hurry up and go..."
HoneyLetsMeditate gave them some food.
"...Or PrinceLuna will destroy everything we know."
Steve limped out of the cottage. He had a sharp pain in his leg. He ate a ham. The pain went away.
PrinceLuna waited for Therapist's return on his throne. Therapist flew into tge castle and crashed through the window.
"WHAT? WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?"
"I...I was beat...by...another...anotherplayer..."
PrinceLuna flipped Therapist over and slammed a diamong helmet on him.
"I WANT YOU TO RETURN WITH ALL THOSE STUPID PROTESTERS!"
Therapist coughed and nodded.
"Yes your master."
Then he flew off.
Steve climbed up a tiny hill to see what was in the distance.
"DO YOU SEE ANYTHING?" FluttershyHardcoreCuddle cried.
"NOT AT ALL! WAIT!"
"WHAT IS IT?"
"IT'S A CASTLE! IT'S PRETTY CLOSE!"
"HOW CLOSE?"
"VERY! CAN WE STOP YELLING?"
"WHY?"
"I'M ONLY 5 BLICKS HIGHER THAN YOU!"
"OH! ALRIGHT! I'LL STOP YELLING!"
Steve hopped down his cliff.
"We're pretty darn close to PrinceLuna's-hide!"
Steve and the others leaped behind the cliff. They saw a speck levitate above the ground and fly away.
"Who in the world is that?"
"Therapist!" Steve growled.
"He must not know we're already near the castle."
Supemoose got back up.
"Good. That means we have an advantage."
"Guys! Over here!" FluttershyHardcoreCuddle pointed to a small trapdoorin the ground.
They opened the trapdoor and climbed down the descending ladder.
