Here is the second chapter of the Koopalings in Minecraft!
Disclaimer: Super Mario Bros. is owned by Nintendo. Minecraft is owned by Mojang. I own neither. Also, this is the first chapter where my own characters start appearing. I just want to say that I did not intentionally steal a character's name or a character itself from another author.
Enjoy! :D
"Morton! Was that a zombie I heard?" Lemmy asked.
"Yes-argh! It's coming closer, and-what is that?" A twang was heard.
"Morton's being attacked by a zombie and a skeleton!" Iggy said.
"Don't worry, Morton! We're going to come down! Fight them off with your sword for now!" Lemmy called down the pit. Lemmy and Iggy made a staircase down to the cavern, where Morton had already killed the zombie, but was being hurt bad by the skeleton's arrows.
"Quick, hide behind this stone!" Iggy said. The Koopalings ducked behind the stone. Lemmy quickly placed a Torch.
"Do you think more monsters will come?" Morton asked.
"Probably, but for now, we need to focus on that skeleton!" Lemmy said. He moved to the very edge of the stone, where he couldn't be hit, but if he moved a step, then he could be hit by the arrows.
"The skeleton is waiting to ambush us from behind this wall," Lemmy said.
"Great! We can take it out easily!" Iggy said. "Morton, use your pickaxe to mine this stone, and then we'll take it out with our swords!"
Morton nodded. He mined the stone, but almost instantly, an arrow was shot through the empty space. Lemmy and Iggy charged around the wall and attacked the skeleton with their swords. Eventually, they killed it, and a miniature bone appeared.
"Ah! We can make Bone Meal with this!" Lemmy said. The bone zoomed to Lemmy's backpack.
"How many hearts did we lose? I only lost half a heart," Iggy said.
"I only have two and a half hearts left," Morton said.
"I only lost one heart. Come on, let's explore this cave. Morton, stay close to us!" Lemmy said. They started exploring the cavern.
"Ah, look! More Iron!" Morton said. He pointed at the Iron, which was high up on the wall. Morton placed some Stone right underneath himself so he could reach it, then mined it. "Darn, only one."
"Lemmy, what Y coordinate are we at?" Iggy asked.
"We're at…Wow! I didn't know we went down this far! We're at 24!"
"Hey, at this elevation, we can find-"
"Hey, guys, what's this?" Morton asked. He pointed to a piece of Stone with yellow dots on it.
"That's Gold!" Lemmy and Iggy exclaimed.
"Yaaaay!" Morton said. He began mining it.
"No! Morton! We need an Iron Pickaxe to mine Gold, and we only have Stone!" Iggy explained.
"Aw. Wait! How much Iron do we need to make an Iron Pickaxe? I have two Iron Ore!" Morton said.
"We need three," Iggy said.
"Grah!" Morton said. He kicked a piece of Stone, but only ended up hurting his foot and losing half a heart. "Ow!"
"Let's head back to our base. It's probably daylight by now and we can find some Wool," Lemmy said. The other Koopalings nodded and went back up the stairs to their base.
"It is daylight! I wonder if any other Koopalings have appeared yet," Iggy said.
"If we go outside, we might find them. Come on!" Morton said. They left their cavern and immediately saw four sheep, two pigs, and a few cows.
"Sheep drop wool, cows drop leather that we can make armor with, and pigs drop pork chops that heal us," Lemmy said.
"Pork chops heal us? Oh boy!" Morton said. He ran to a pig, stone sword in hand. He started slashing at it until it was no more. A miniature pork chop appeared on the ground and it zoomed to Morton's inventory. Morton was about to eat it, until…
"Morton! Wait! The pork chop only heals one and a half hearts, but we can cook it so that it heals four hearts!" Iggy said.
"Oh, ok," Morton said. He put it back in his inventory. "Where's Lemmy?"
"Right here!" Lemmy said. He was currently fending off a spider. "It wandered into – argh – the shade, and it attacked me!"
"Lemmy, watch out!" Morton called out. Another spider went into the shade and became hostile. Morton charged at it with his Stone Sword and attacked it. The spider went flying back, but in a single leap, reached Morton once again and started biting him. "Ow!" Morton struck it with his Stone Sword again, knocking it back. It was about to leap, until Iggy and Lemmy hit it with their swords at the same time, killing it. A piece of String appeared on the ground.
"Phew, thanks guys. I only had half a heart left!" Morton said as the String zoomed into Lemmy's inventory.
"No problem. And, I have good news! I have three String, so now we can make a Bow!" Lemmy said.
"Alright! Except, we're going to need Feathers and Flint for Arrows," Iggy said.
"Hey, look! Feathers!" Morton said. Two feathers were lying on the ground, most likely from a Zombie who had burned in the sun.
"We can get Flint from Gravel, and look! There's Gravel!" Lemmy said. He ran towards it with his shovel.
"What a lucky string of events…" Iggy said to himself. But suddenly, an unlucky event happened. As quick as light, something zoomed past Iggy and hit him with a sword. "Ack!" Iggy lost four and a half hearts.
"What?" Morton asked.
"Something came and hit me with a-ow!" The thing zoomed by again and slashed Iggy with the sword, doing another four and a half hearts of damage.
"What was that?" Morton asked. Lemmy ran over.
"Morton, give me those Feathers so I can make some Arrows!" Lemmy said.
"Lemmy, something just zoomed by and attacked me twice! I only have half a heart left!" Iggy said.
"I'll kill some more pigs!" Lemmy said. The other Koopalings nodded and went back to their base, but first, Morton gave Lemmy his Feathers. In the meanwhile, many pigs had spawned, so Lemmy got to work.
Lemmy had collected four pieces of pork until something zoomed by and hit him with a sword. "Ah!" Lemmy yelled. "That must've been the same thing that attacked Iggy! Alright, whoever you are, come out and fight like a man! Er, Koopa!"
Suddenly, something materialized in front of Lemmy. It looked like a human, but it had red eyes and it had no feet; it floated.
"You have called me to fight, and I have appeared! Face now your tragic end at the might of Dungzor!" The thing yelled. It quickly floated towards Lemmy, slashing with its sword. Lemmy ran away from it, but it kept pursuing him. Lemmy eventually duck behind a tree and lost Dungzor.
"Now that I've lost him, I should make some arrows!" Lemmy said. He cut down a piece of the tree that he hid behind and made a Crafting Table. He then made 8 Arrows using the Feathers, Sticks, and Flint and a Bow. "This should do for now."
Lemmy looked back at where Dungzor was. "Koopa! Where are you? Have you run away like the coward you are?" Dungzor yelled.
"No, but soon you'll be running – ahem, floating away!" Lemmy whispered. He pulled back the string of the bow and fired an arrow at Dungzor.
"Ouch! So you have not run! Where are you, puny Koopa?" Dungzor yelled. Lemmy fired two more arrows at Dungzor, then ducked back behind the tree. "Grah! You're making me angry!"
Lemmy estimated that he had taken out six of Dungzor's hearts, which meant he only had to hit Dungzor twice with his Stone Sword. When Dungzor wandered near the tree Lemmy was hiding behind, Lemmy leaped out and hit Dungzor with his sword. "Ah! There you are!" Dungzor yelled. Lemmy noticed that Dungzor had an Iron Sword.
Lemmy started running away again, trying to lose Dungzor. Eventually, Dungzor caught up to Lemmy and hit him with his sword, making Lemmy lose four and a half hearts. Lemmy only had half a heart left!
Lemmy turned around and slashed Dungzor with his Stone Sword, killing him. "Grah! I'll return, Koopa!" Dungzor yelled.
"Phew…" Lemmy said out loud. Lemmy then saw that Dungzor dropped all his items. Dungzor had dropped his Iron Sword as well as an Iron Shovel and six Wheat.
"Hey, we can make two pieces of Bread with this Wheat!" Lemmy said to himself. He collected Dungzor's items, killed four more pigs (one of which dropped two pork chops), and went back to base.
"So?" Morton and Iggy asked when Lemmy came in through the door.
"I got nine pork chops and six Wheat. I also killed that guy that attacked Iggy. His name was Dungzor, but I just barely beat him; I have half a heart left. He also dropped an Iron Sword and an Iron Shovel."
"Alright! Come on, I already made a Furnace; cook the pork in there and use your Crafting Table to make the Bread!" Iggy said.
A few minutes later, the Koopalings had eaten two pieces of cooked pork each; now they each had nine and a half hearts left. They also still had three cooked pork and two Bread left.
"I never knew pork chops tasted so delicious," Iggy said.
Lemmy looked out the window of the door. "Oh no! It's nighttime, and in all the commotion, I forgot to kill sheep for our beds!"
"It's alright, Lemmy. We would've had to kill nine sheep, and I don't think we could've found that many. Plus, if we go mining again, we can find some Iron and make some Shears!" Iggy said.
"Right! Let's go!" Morton said. They went back to their mine and dropped down the little cave that led to the cavern Morton had accidentally discovered.
"Wait!" Lemmy hadn't jumped down yet. "There's some more Iron right here! We must've forgotten about it when Morton fell and we rushed to help him!" Lemmy mined the Iron; there was three more in the vein. "I have five Iron now!" Lemmy jumped down into the cavern.
"Here, Lemmy, I mined eight Stone and made a Furnace!" Morton said. He placed the Furnace on the ground and Lemmy smelted the Iron Ore into Iron Ingots with some Coal provided by Iggy. He then made an Iron Pickaxe.
"Alright, Morton, lead me to that Gold you found last night!" Lemmy said.
"Over here!" Morton said. Eventually, they reached the Gold.
"Leave it to me!" Lemmy said. He mined the Gold and he got Gold Ore!
"Yaaaay!" Morton cheered.
"There's more!" Iggy said.
Lemmy mined the rest of the ore; there was seven in a single vein!
"That was a lot of Gold," Lemmy said. "Should we head back and smelt it now or should we-" Lemmy was cut off by a zombie's moan.
"ZOMBIE!" Morton yelled.
"It's coming from behind this Stone where Lemmy mined the Gold!" Iggy said. Lemmy mined the Stone and they found a seven by seven room with a cage in the middle, a chest in the corner, and an army of zombies waiting for them.
"Dungeon…" the three Koopalings said at the same time.
