MINECRAFT: Naked Axe

Chapter 2: Never Dig Straight Down

You want to hear more?

Seriously? That's a first.

Well, okay. Settle down children and let Grandpa tell you the story…


The long-nosed villager stared down at the captive. It was a young female adventurer, wearing a full leather amour outfit. Her arms and legs were tied to a wooden plank chair with string. An egg was stuffed into her mouth, she tried to spit it out, but the wool cleave gag blocked it out. The villager then tied a wool blindfold over her eyes.

"This blindfold will help you relax," whispered the villager into the captive's ear, "You won't be able to see your death coming. The villager stepped out of the wooden cell, "Remember, never dig straight down."

He threw in a fire charge, setting the whole cell on fire. The captive had learned her lesson, but a little too late…


"Aw yeah, these beds rock!" said Max, bouncing on the bed.

"You're right," said Mel, "These beds are so…" Mel fell asleep.

"You know, I can't keep from thinking that we're allowed to stay here for a reason," wondered Joe.

"So you mean, what's the catch?" asked Max.

"Exactly."

Max toppled off the bed, barfing all over the red wool floor. "Oh no, this isn't good," said Joe.

Mel looked over, "Uh is he okay?"

"He's fine, but he gets sick if there's a Netherportal nearby."

"Aren't monsters from Netherportals the reason we had the apocalypse in the first place?"

"Yeah, and it must be a really powerful portal, if Max is this sick."


"How much longer until the Nether Bomb is complete?' asked a white robed villager.

"2, maybe 3 weeks," replied another.

"If you do not speed up, I will start killing your men.'

"Then it will take more time. Remember, a bomb is a very tough weapon to create. Adding the Netherportal is tougher."

The white-robed villager glared at the worker, "Three weeks," he said, "Then your men start dying."
