Chapter 9: The Squid Dimension
Well, I'm nearly the end of the story now. However, there will be a death involved in this chapter. It won't be Sky, though. The only way to find out is to read.
(The next morning, after gathering all three items needed to activate the squid portal, everyone sailed back to the shores of Minecraftia. After a bit of exploring, Sky and the others locate the squid portal, which composed of multiple melons in the shape of a Nether Portal. At the bottom of the melon portal, three slots in particular shapes are seen).
-Sky: Let's get this thing working.
(Sky takes out all three items and places them in the right places. He slowly backs away as the items begin to shine and lock in place in the melons. The portal turns on, gleaming the same purple particles of a portal. Sky turns around as everyone is seen, dressed in butter armor and armed with butter swords).
-Sky: Listen, everyone. Before we go through this portal, I have to tell you that if I die out there, fighting the squids, do your best to find Dawn and free her from the squids.
(Everyone nods quietly).
-Sky: Well, then. Let's go!
(Sky rush through the portal. Jerome and HuskyMudkipz enter next, followed by Deadlox, TrueMu, BajanCanadian, Ssundee, Butter, Kitty, Crystal, and finally Rex. Meanwhile, in the squid dimension, a squid portal is seen on a bare patch of blue blocks. The portal activates and Sky is the first one to appear. He looks around anxiously as the other begin to appear).
-Deadlox: Holy shit...this must be the squid's world.
-Jerome: God, this place absolutely reeks of squids.
-TrueMu: Smells more like crap to me.
-BajanCanadian: I expected this place to be a bit more...desolate.
-Ssundee: And a bit more...less reeking of fish and whatnot.
(Sky looks over. Across a body of water, a huge monument of a squid is seen, waterfalls pouring out from the top and structures on the sides to make them look like tentacles. Crystal and Kitty turn and gaze at them).
-Crystal: Wow...how did these squids build that thing without any arms...or legs?
-Kitty: I gotta say, I thought these mobs were nothing but quiet aquatic creatures, but now, the truth is finally revealing to me.
-HuskyMudKipz: Hey Sky, there's a sign over there.
(Sky looks over and spots a sign at the edge of the patch of land they're on. Sky walks up to it and reads the text on it, poorly misspelled).
(Sign: Dawn iz totaly not in thiz house).
-Rex: I never thought squids could be any more stupider until now. That place isn't even considered to be a house!
-Sky: I'll tell you one thing. These squids don't stand a chance against my butter sword. Everyone, CHARGE!
(Everyone shouts back and dive into the squid-infested waters. Meanwhile, a nearby squid sees the travelers making their way towards their fortress. It gives a signal to the leader).
-Squid: Leader, Sky and a group of Minecrafters are making their way here right now. Shall we set up the trap?
-Squid Leader: Indeed. And once it's set, let us disappear while we still can.
(The squids hurry away. Once Sky and the gang make it to the squid monument, they start climbing up the vines the grew on the sides. Deadlox is the first to make it to the top. He takes a look around on the top. A large, strange structure is seen sitting the middle of the top part. Sky is the second up as he gazes around).
-Sky: Whoa! What is that thing?
-Deadlox: I have no idea.
(Soon, the others make it to the top and look suspiciously at the structure in the middle. Crystal goes off and looks around before she sees someone).
-Crystal: Sky, I found Dawn!
-Sky: You did? Where is she?
-Crystal: Over there!
(Crystal points to the north side of the monument as a lone female figure is seen sitting in her cell, her head hidden between her legs. Sky is so desperate to meet up with Dawn again that he runs to her).
-Sky: DAWN!
(Dawn looks up, turns around and sees Sky. She quickly gets up and warns Sky).
-Dawn: Sky, wait! Don't come any closer! It's a trap!
-Sky: Dawn, please. What could the squids possibly have planned for me?
(All of a sudden, a rumbling begins to shake the monument. Everyone looking nervously as the rumbling gets more violent. Then, the structure in the middle begins to move into the air. Sky and the others look in shock and back away as the structure starts to mutate. It eventually transforms into a misshaped, gravity-defying giant squid).
-Rex: HOLY MOTHER OF NOTCH!
-HuskyMudkizp: What the fudge is that thing!?
-Ssundee: It's a squid, but it looks so messed up, so...incomplete!
-Voice: Foolish Humans!
(On top of the giant, monstrous squid, the squid leader appears).
-Squid Leader: You may have found your way to our world, Sky. But do you have what it takes to defeat the most terrifying and most murderous creature in all of Minecraftia. I give you...THE DERPOLLOLUS SQUID OVERLORD!
(The leader laughs wildly as the hideous creature lets out a deafening screech, forcing everyone to cover their ears. Then, the creature begins to attack, dropping from the inside of its mouth squid warriors and humanoid Minecrafters, who land on their feet and run straight for the travelers with swords in hand or tentacle. However, Sky and the others retaliate and dart full-speed towards the minions).
-Sky: ATTACK!
-Deadlox: KILL THE SQUIDS!
-TrueMU: (sobbing) WE'RE GOING TO FUCKING DIE!
(Both sides crash into each other, swords slashing through the air, the humanoid squid-people scream as they die and the squids vanishing into clouds of smoke. Helmets clatter to the floor and swords are thrown clean off the monument. As the Minecrafters and squids battle each other, the Squid Overlord floats to the side of the monument to watch the mayhem. Meanwhile, Sky is seen battling two squid warriors. One of them punches him, sending him crashing into a pillar. Sky struggles to get to his feet as one of the cephalopods runs after the Butter God, the tip of its sword pointed to his head. Sky looks up and has little time to react. However, Rex sees this unfolding and darts to save Sky).
-Rex: SKY, NO!
(Rex jumps in the way. The next thing Sky knows, he hears a blade run through something and a gasp is heard. Sky looks up and gasps as Rex is seen standing in front of him with the blade from the squid puncturing through his armor and stabbing him in the heart. The squid takes the blade out of him, the tip of it covered in blood. Slowly, Rex falls to his knees, then falls altogether on the floor...dead).
-Sky: REX, NNNOOOOO!
(Everyone hears Sky's shout and look over to see Rex fallen on the floor, a puddle of blood forming around his body. Crystal is the most shocked).
-Crystal: REX!
(Crystal runs over to Rex's body and falls to her knees. She begins to sob as Sky gets to his feet and walks over to the Squid Overlord. The squid who had tried to kill him tried to attack him again, but Sky quickly drives his butter sword into its head and throws the weapon away. He stands in front of the creature who glares at him with dark-red pupils. The squid leader shouts intellects at him).
-Squid Leader: What are you gonna do now, Sky? Huh!? Huh!? You don't have any more weapons, so you and your pathetic friends might as well give up now.
(Sky looks down and sees a chest in a small pool below him. He smiles mischievously as he reaches down and opens it up. The squid leader immediately becomes worried).
-Squid Leader: Hey, what are you doing? Don't look in there! There's nothing important in there!
-Sky: Oh really? Then, try and explain this!
(Sky holds up a blue glowing sword. The others look in awe of the legendary sword).
-Jerome: Is that what I think it is?
-Sky: It is. The UltimateDerp SquidBlade. Your kind and your monster are finished!
(Sky leaps on a platform and aims the sword right for the monster's head. He stabs it in and slowly, it descends down and cuts open the giant's head, making it screech and hiss painfully. The Squid Overload falls off of the monument and vanishes, the squid leader falls off and clings to the edge of the monument. Sky walks over to the defenseless squid as he begs Sky to spare it).
-Squid Leader: Sky, please. I beg of you! Please, save me.
(Sky doesn't respond. He just stares quietly at the squid. Then, out of nowhere, he grabs the squid by one of its tentacles and holds its face close to his).
-Sky: Never...come...BACK!
-Squid Leader: I won't return! I promise!
-Sky: I don't believe you.
(Sky throws the squid away from the monument. The squid screams as it falls from the tall monument and disappears beneath the clouds, never to be seen or heard from again).
