Hello Guys! Just in case you are wondering what Bed Wars is like, I'll tell you now rather than have one of the characters explain it to Arcane.
Bed Wars is a game where players must defend their bed and destroy the beds of other players. Players can respawn as long as they still have a bed. If they die, and their bed is destroyed, they will be permanently killed. They have their own currency that spawns periodically in their base. Players start out with slowly gaining iron and gold, but can collect emeralds and diamonds by building walkways to the spawn areas. After every five minutes, the time it takes for diamonds/emeralds to spawn decreases. The players can gain boosts by using diamonds to do the following:
Increase gain of iron and gold (plus gain emeralds at your base),
Gain protection enchantment on your team's armor,
Increase sword damage,
and so on...
Iron, Gold, and Emeralds are used to buy things to help defend yourself and your teammates, as well as your bed. You can also buy tools, weapons, and even a few different potions! However, watch out. After 25 minutes or so, everyone's beds will automatically be destroyed. After 35 minutes or so, Sudden Death mode is activated. Ender Dragons will appear and start eating the land. After 45 minutes, the game ends.
This is the end of the Haven Saga, but it is the start of the Bed Wars Saga. Enjoy!

Chapter 4: Bed Wars: 8-Player Battle Royale/Part 1
The next thing our five protagonists knew, they were in an open-space lobby full of players. Most of them were YouTubers who flocked over to Bed Wars and Murder Mystery, two of the four Prototype games available. Arcane marveled at the huge sign in the middle of the room, the white floor, and some other stuff that he didn't need to explore.
ArcanetheGreat: This place looks amazing!
Haven2891: You bet it is! The only problem is that you don't get coins for playing this game.
LochlynJ: You do get Hype Diamonds though, but they're only used for popular vote on Prototype games.
Deaomega: You mean these games?
LochlynJ: Yes.
RedstoneTorchick: I've only played Murder Mystery.
ArcanetheGreat: Maybe we can play it after Bed Wars.
Haven2891: Sure!
LochlynJ: But hold on. There are four versions of this game. First, let's play 1-player teams!
RedstoneTorchick: *rolls his eyes* Fffinne.
ArcanetheGreat: Awesome! Let's go.
Haven clicked on the Minecraft Skin that had Bed Wars, and then in a menu, he clicked on the solo sign.
They vanished.

The five friends appeared on a small, arena-looking platform. The floor under them was made of glass, and the walls were of fence and wood.
ArcanetheGreat: Whoa...
They searched the arena, and then they checked the flying archipelago below them. It was the Lotus map, one of the newer 1-2 player team maps.
Deaomega: So... what do we do now?
Haven2891: We have to wait for 3 more players.
RedstoneTorchick: Ugh. I hate waiting... Let's just get this game over with so we can play Murder Mystery.
Minecraft_Mega joined. (6/8 players)
Arcane's eyes widened. He started to feel uncomfortable.
ArcanetheGreat: (embarrassed) Oh no.
Minecraft_Mega: Hi bro!
LochlynJ: WHAT! YOU HAVE A BROTHER?
Minecraft_Mega: ;)
Haven2891: Wait a sec... you have a brother playing this game?
ArcanetheGreat: (hesitantly) I have a few other siblings. He's the only other one besides me who plays this game.
Minecraft_Mega: I've been playing Minecraft for 2 and a half years. This is my second month on this server, and this is my favorite game.
Haven2891: I have an idea!
Haven had asked Mega to join the party.
ArcanetheGreat: NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO WAIT!
Minecraft_Mega joined the party.
Arcane rolled his eyes.
Deaomega and RedstoneTorchick: Did the game start yet!?
J33per5 joined (7/8 players)
Its_over_9000 joined (8/8 players)
15 seconds...
LochlynJ: Ok, good luck.
Deaomega: FINALLY!
RedstoneTorchick: That took forever.
10 seconds...
Minecraft_Mega: Can the party cross-team?
Haven2891: Actually, they shouldn't. I heard that they would get reported on the forums if they did.
ArcanetheGreat: Whatever. Let's just get this game started.
5...
4...

1...
Begin...
All eight players vanished.

Everyone was teleported to their solo team island. They appeared next to their currency generators, which gave them iron and gold at first, but then also emeralds if they got that upgrade. Here are the team colors:
Red: Haven2891
Blue: Deaomega
Green: Its_over_9000
Yellow: Minecraft_Mega
Aqua: LochlynJ
White: RedstoneTorchick
Pink: J33per5
Gray: ArcanetheGreat
The moment they spawned, they took a look around their base. Their beds were in plain sight, and villagers served as the shopkeeper and the Team Upgrader. They were on the Waterfall map.
ArcanetheGreat: So... now what?
Minecraft_Mega: Now we make our bed protected, collect diamonds, and try to break other people's beds.
LochlynJ: AND collect emeralds.
Minecraft_Mega: That is correct.
So the six party members walked over to their currency generators. Let's focus on Arcane right now. He had 6 iron ingots, and 2 gold ingots. He wondered what he could do with these items. But then...
J33per5 disconected. Final Kill!
The Pink Team was eliminated.
SHOUT [GREEN] Its_over_9000: What the quack?
ArcanetheGreat: Seriously?
Minecraft_Mega: If people disconnect in 1 player battle royales, they get disqualified. This also applies in the other Bed Wars games, but all the members have to leave or get killed after their bed is destroyed for their team to get eliminated.
Haven2891: Um... ok. A little warning before we started the game?
Minecraft_Mega: Sry.
Arcane was trying to not focus on his brother, but focus on buying wool. The diamond generator was on an island to his diagonal right, so he needed wool to build there. Fortunately, the shopkeeper was a very generous villager. Using 16 iron ingots, Arcane bought 64 wool blocks. Using them, he started to build to the diamond generator.
_
Red never played this game before, so he kept asking for pointers from Mega.
RedstoneTorchick: So how should I protect my bed?
Minecraft_Mega: With end stone and wood. Anything else other than obsidian and water would make horrible bed defense.
RedstoneTorchick: How do you get water and obsidian?
Minecraft_Mega: Collect EMERALDS, then buy them from the shopkeeper.
RedstoneTorchick: Okay thx.
Red and Lochlyn were right next to each other, so while Red was using wood and end stone like Mega said, Lochlyn built a bridge to her diamond generator. There were only 3 diamonds in there though.
3 diamonds is better than no diamonds, she thought.
So Lochlyn took her diamonds back her base. The Team Upgrader gave her several different upgrades to choose from:
Iron Forge: Increase the speed of your currency generator. (2 diamonds)
Maniac Miner: Gain Haste I for the rest of the game. (2 diamonds)
Sharpened Swords: Gain Shaprness I for every sword you buy. (4 diamonds)
Reinforced Armor: Gain Protection I for your armor. (2 diamonds)
It's a Trap!: Inflict Blindness (5 second duration) on 1 enemy who enters your base. (1 diamond)
Miner Fatigue: Inflict Mining Fatigue on enemies who get close to your bed. (2 diamonds)
Heal Pool: Gain Regeneration I whenever you're in your base. (1 diamond)
Dragon Buff: Add another ender dragon in sudden death. (5 diamonds)
I'll pick Iron Forge and it's a trap, she thought.
So Lochlyn bought those two upgrades, then she started collecting her sped up iron and gold. Now she just had to buy end stone and protect her bed.
_
Minecraft_Mega was building bed protection like a pro. In fact, he was. Mega covered his bed in a pyramid on end stone, was collecting diamonds, and buy everything necessary from him to survive this game of Bed Wars.
Haven was on the right track in the first few minutes of the game, but now he wasn't so sure about what to do next. He collected diamonds and created a wood-sandstone bed protection. Now what was he supposed to do? He needed to ask Mega a question.
Haven2891: So I have diamonds and bed protection.
LochlynJ: Same here.
Haven2891: But now what do I do?
Minecraft_Mega: Destroy the beds of other players and kill them. Like what I'm about to do right now.
Mega was 10 blocks above Its_over_9000's wool bed protection. He simply dropped TNT on the bed protection, and then...
KABOOM!
The bed protection was no more. Mega jumped from his bridge, and down to the bed, where he started to violently hack at it...
Green Bed was destroyed by Minecraft_Mega!
Everyone was shocked! How did Mega break that bed so easily?
ArcanetheGreat: What the-
SHOUT [YELLOW] Minecraft_Mega: Sloppy bed protection!? GET REAL PEOPLE!
9000 was not in his base, he was 40+ blocks above it. Hoping to get away from Mega, he built a huge sky base above his home. Oh dang.

Deaomega loved this game. Like Mega, De built an end stone pyramid around his bed, but he also poured a bucket of water all over it. Instead of collecting diamonds, he was farming for emeralds, Emerald spawners stood on a high, circular platform with a gigantic opening in the middle. Apparently, no one else bothered to collect them, so De had 11 emeralds! With them, he bought a diamond sword, diamond boots and leggings, and that bucket of water he just used. De was on a roll. The next order of business for him was to collect diamonds. Unfortunately, he'd have to deal with Haven first.
_
Arcane was doing mediocre for his first game. He had Iron Forge, Reinforced Armor, and Heal Pool. However, his bed protection was a mess. He built a cube of wood around the bed, and he had a stone sword, which wasn't good for him if he got attacked. However, Arcane managed to save up for a fireball, which can destroy an area of wool or wood. It can be very helpful in the situation that he was under attack.
_
Lochlyn bought Iron/Golden Forge, Heal Pool, It's a trap!, Reinforced Armor, and Sharpened Swords. Her bed protection was fully comprised of wood and end stone, while she had iron armor and an iron sword. She had several fireballs, a few silverfish, and three TNT. She was ready to invade RedstoneTorchick.
Red had no idea she was doing that because he was invading her! He finally built to the diamond spawner, and that is where he started building to Lochlyn's base. Lochlyn was building from her base to his. But then she saw Red building to her base as soon as she got halfway to his.
LochlynJ: HEY!
RedstoneTorchick: Hey who?
LochlynJ: You!
Red tried to lie as Lochlyn began to return to her base.
RedstoneTorchick: *innocently* Me?
LochlynJ: Yes you. Now DIE!
Lochlyn took her bow and 1 arrow out of her ender chest. She aimed straight for Red. She fired...
...the arrow hit him! Red was pushed into the abyss below him.
RedstoneTorchick was knocked into the void by LochlynJ!
RedstoneTorchick: No!
LochlynJ: Yes!
With that, Lochlyn continued to build her assault bridge...
_
And that is the end of Part One. Don't Worry! Part Two will be longer than Part One. People will get killed, one by one, until there is a last person left standing. The Bed Wars Saga is going to last a while, but when it's done, I will move to Murder Mystery, Zombies, and then back to Arcade Games. So, did you find the addition of Minecraft_Mega surprising? Great! There will be even more surprises coming your way!
Later readers!
