The Savior:
A Minecraft/Mob Talker Story
Chapter 4:
The Mine
I woke up the next morning feeling like I was starving. I got out of bed and got dressed before grabbing my sword and heading out. I bagged around 20 pork chops and 10 apples before going back and entering the kitchen. I looked around for where I put my furnace before remembering that I didn't have one.
"DOH!" I shouted. I clapped a hand over my mouth soon afterwards because I didn't want to wake up Spectra. I went over to the crafting bench and made a shovel and pickaxe. I began to head out until I heard a door open and turned around before quickly averting my eyes, blushing like crazy. The reason was that Spectra had just come out in just her underwear! She saw me and made a squeaking noise of some kind before heading into her room and shutting the door again. When she came back out she was fully dressed and blushing as well.
"Sorry Alex…I didn't realize you would be awake and well…" She started to say.
"I…I understand…Um well you should get some breakfast and join me by the crafting table so I can show you how to make a pickaxe. I figured that since we need a furnace to cook the meat I got from my hunting trip this morning I could take you with me and show you how to mine." I replied.
"Ok…"
Once we were both ready I grabbed some more wood from the chest and we left. We found a cave not too far away and gathered some cobblestone for a furnace. We found some coal and mined it to make some torches before venturing deeper into the cave. We had been exploring for about 30 minutes or so before I spotted what looked like wood planking. I called Spectra and we walked over to find an abandoned mineshaft.
"NICE! This is quite a find!" I said as we went in and found a chest with redstone, iron, and string.
"I wonder who built this…" I heard Spectra saying.
"No one knows, I always wondered that myself but the only info I could get was that most of the mineshafts were between 90 and 100 years old."
"Are you serious?!"
"Yeah, we should keep going though. There's no telling what could-" I began to say before I heard screaming coming from up ahead.
"What the Nether was that!?" Spectra asked.
"I dunno, let's check it out."
We ran toward the sound and saw a lady who looked to be around twenty with long gray hair and eyes. She was wearing what looked like a gray sleeveless shirt that stopped around mid-way down her stomach and a gray denim miniskirt. She had what looked to be a skeleton hat on her head and was very pale. She was holding a longbow in her hand but she seemed to be out of arrows and surrounded on three sides by zombies and a wall behind her. I pulled Spectra behind a corner and told her to stay put until you came back. I then took out my sword and ran into the horde of zombies, slashing and hacking and thrusting until my sword broke and I got shoved into the middle of the circle with the girl.
"Stranger, I am not ungrateful for your help but you would have been better off had you not interfered. Why would you risk your life to save me?" she asked.
"For one thing, call me Alex please. And for another, I am not risking my life. I don't need a sword to kill these foul undead beasts." I replied.
"How can you fight without one? I sincerely doubt that punching them is going to work."
"Now who said anything about punching?" I said, smirking as I got up and sized up my opponents. I knew at least 100 styles of mixed martial arts and needed to know which one to use. The girl was right about punching being ineffective. I could tell just by looking that these guys were extremely strong. I could also see that they were not very fast so I knew that if I moved quickly my chances would drastically increase.
I stood up straight and put my left foot forward. I then moved my right one back and bent my knee a little. I leaned forward slightly and twisted my body so that my left shoulder was at a 45 degree angle horizontally from the zombie in front. I put my right fist up against my waist and put my left hand straight forward with the palm facing them.
"I'm ready, let's Dance."
