Hey recruits :) Just for a warning right now, it might be a couple days until I get the next chapter on. I have been having computer issues lately, and so I will need to take care of it before I try to upload the next chapter on. Hopefully, I can get it fixed today so that I can post the next chapter on tomorrow.
Anyways, here is Chapter 7!
Wolf's POV-
I stared across the hallway at the three people in the cells, gr8job9, Ninja, and iEcho. They all walked forward, and stepped fully into the light. Ninja had short cut black hair, bright blue eyes, and light skin. He wore a dirty white t-shirt that had black squares on it on the front and back, the front having a red "T" on it while the back has a red "N" on it. He had ripped up blue jeans, and brown shoes that seemed to have been long worn out. Gr8job9 had black skin, and appeared to be a dragon-like creature. He had purple eyes, and had a brown strap on his body. iEcho was different, though. She looked the worst. She had a ripped up black hoodie on with a demented smiling creeper face on the back, brown (although it probably was white before) jean shorts, black headphones that looked to be slightly destroyed, black and rainbow shoes, and matted rainbow hair. Her brown eyes were strong, though, even though she seemed to have gone through the most out of all of them.
"So, what did you guys do to get in here?" I asked, shakily pushing myself up onto the bed in the corner.
I heard one of the boys laugh, and then I heard a voice say, "Well, I was just coming into the Nether to gather some supplies, and then a bunch of Zombie Pigmen came and attacked me. I took them all down easily, and obviously I impressed Herobrine with my fighting skill. I have been in here for about a year now." That was Ninja as I soon realized.
The other male voice in there, obviously gr8job, laughed and then he said, "Well, I was just messing around and purposely exploding creepers, when I got captured out of nowhere. That was a couple months ago. A stupid reason to capture me, that is for sure."
iEcho was silent the whole time, and then after a moment of silence, she then softly said, "I didn't do anything to anger Herobrine. When I was 13, I was captured by the Squids, and I have been here ever since the Squids were defeated. I have been in here three years."
I was shocked by her voice. It sounded very familiar… but I couldn't place on where I have heard that voice before. All of a sudden, it clicked in my head. "Wait… are you related to Sierra, iEcho? Ninjamaster01?"
iEcho immediately stood up, looking over to me with wide eyes on her face. "You… you know Sierra?!" iEcho barely managed to gasp out, looking over to me and Eagle.
Eagle nodded. "Yes, she is one of our closest friends. Why?"
iEcho fell backwards slightly in shock, and then she managed to barely say, "Sierra… Sierra is my older sister."
Seto's POV-
I jumped over a river, careful to avoid falling into the deep water. I looked around, and sighed quickly. Where in the world was AntVenom? Sky told me that he would be around here somewhere. The only problem now was that I have to locate exactly where AntVenom is hiding.
After a while of searching the area, I gave up, and I leaned up against a tree, resting slightly. I exhaled loudly, and then I began to rotate my shoulders. A minute later, I then began to continue walking. This was beginning to irritate me.
Sighing, I then walked to the edge of a cliff where I was standing, and I stared down in the ravine, watching the water at the bottom slowly pass by. I was considering floating down there on one of my wind spells, when all of a sudden, I saw a figure at the bottom of the ravine. Kneeling down, I examined the person, and my insides immediately felt lighter. It was AntVenom. But what the Nether was he doing down there?
I watched AntVenom for a couple of minutes, laughing whenever Ant would get frustrated. He appeared completely stuck. I found that very amusing for some reason. Wiping away one of the tears from my eyes, I then conjured up a wind spell, and immediately began to surf down it into the chasm.
When I got closer to AntVenom, I then began to hear him clearer. I landed behind one of the stone pillars that he was in front of, and I began to listen to what he was saying. "Still can't believe the stupid Creepers blew me down here… once I get out of here, I am going to go and kick some freaking Creeper as-"
I coughed, which then made AntVenom whip towards me. I was casually leaning up against the pillar, a small smile appearing on my lips. AntVenom held his budder sword towards me, and then a moment later, he blinked. Several times.
"Setosorcerer? Why in the Nether are you here?" Ant asked, lowering his weapon slightly.
Standing up to full height, I then began to walk around a little bit. "So, you got down here by Creepers exploding you down here? How in the world did you survive the fall? The edges of the cliffs are a long way from the river here, and you wouldn't have been able to push yourself out very far just jumping from the top."
"….Like I said before, Creepers blew me into the ravine. I was just casually walking by it to go and get some resources, when I all of a sudden heard a sizzling noise behind me. I turned around, and then I found myself flying through the air. I landed in the water, barely, and got out quickly. I have been stuck down here for a couple hours now." Ant sheathed his budder sword, and then he began to walk around once more. Then, he stopped in his tracks. Turning slowly to me, he then asked, "Wait… how did you get down here then?"
"I flew down." I smiled towards AntVenom, and then he glared at me.
"I hate you."
"You know you love me, AntVenom."
Ant sighed, and then he said, "Anyways, what do you want? You obviously came here on a mission. Nobody really gets stuck, or gets down, in a chasm for no reason at all."
Taking out my enchanted budder sword, I began to casually polish it. "Actually, I did come for a mission. You are wanted to join a certain army… the Sky Army actually."
Immediately, a smile appeared on Ant's face. "Sky is alive? There were many rumors going around that kept on saying that Sky died fighting against the Squids. Nobody had heard from him in a long time. I didn't know whether to believe them or not."
"Sky is very much alive, and he wants as much assistance as we can get to fight against Herobrine," I said. Immediately afterwards, the smile dropped off of Ant's face. He seemed to freeze in place, and I began to worry for a moment. Was Ant OK?
A moment later, Ant then shook his head, and then he said, "Tell Sky I am in. I will be willing to fight against that retarded basta-" Right at that moment, an arrow pierced the ground to the left of Ant's body, and we both looked up at the cliffs in shock. About six skeletons were shooting at us, not burning up in the sun because of the shade from the trees protecting them.
I grabbed onto Ant's torso, which he looked alarmed that I did that. I breathed in, and then I yelled, "Hang on tight!" I activated my teleporting powers, and immediately, I felt my feet leave the ground, and I was thrown through a vortex of black, endless space.
Sky's POV-
You know, when you have almost a million people building on one giant project, things can get done real fast. By the time night fell, the recruits had built up some extra wings to the building, and then they began to build extra buildings for other people to sleep in. The main base was getting too large, so we had to move everything to extra buildings that surrounded the main headquarters. The Sky Army HQ actually started looking like a large village by the time that night fell.
I walked around inside the Sky Army Base, feeling the soft wind blow through my hair. Finally, a real feeling of being safe. High obsidian walls surrounded the base, the walls topped with dispensers that shoot out potions of harming whenever anything is around it, with the only way to get in or out being the front gates, which were constantly monitored and watched for. Good thing no birds flew around in these parts of the jungle, because we would have a problem with finding dead birds all over the ground.
Torches lit the place in a soft cheery glow, and for once, I actually felt safe and protected. For the past three years, there has not been one moment where I could feel like I could not watch my back. But now, everything seemed to be right. The base walls surrounded a cleared area of about 7,000 blocks, which actually caught all of the jungle into the base. That was the only bad thing about our base now… it was so huge that nothing could miss seeing this place. It gave us away a little bit more; actually, I mean a lot more, but at least I knew that we were protected now.
Recruits were everywhere, talking and laughing and just having a good time with the new Minecraft Finest recruits. It almost seemed to be a mini city now here at the Sky HQ. I walked past most of them, who all smiled and waved to me when I passed by them. They seemed so cheerful… even though they already knew about the thirteen disappearances of their fellow comrades. I could see a lot of the recruits holding hands together, and having a great time. I smiled at that thought. At least my recruits were happy… But right then, that thought reminded me of Dawnables. I sighed, and quickly fixed my sunglasses. I then turned around, and turned to walk back into the base.
All of a sudden, I felt my body slam into someone else's body, and we both went down hard. I groaned, and pushed myself up. Immediately, I got up, and began to help pick up all of the books that the person had dropped. "I am so sorry, I didn't mean to-" I started, but right then, I realized who the other person was. Speak of the devil, it was Dawnables.
Dawn shook her head, and then she got up as well. "It's fine, Sky. I shouldn't have been walking so fast in the first place, anyways," She said, then taking the books that I had gathered up for her in my hands. Our hands touched as I was handing them over to her, and immediately, both of us froze. This was the closest we had been to each other in a long time.
Brushing her bangs out of her face with her free hand, she then began to walk towards the base. I followed behind her, trying not to look over at her too often. That would seem a little strange if I did. "So, Dawn, how is Quentin holding up?" I asked, trying not to make it too awkward between us.
We walked inside of the infirmary, which was actually in a separate building now next to the main base, and Dawnables immediately handed the books over to Mandy, who then took them to go put them away on a shelf. "Husky is doing fine… he is constantly having strange dreams to do with Herobrine and Eagle. I think it is because he still feels guilty for letting her get captured…" Dawn then said, walking up to Husky's side. I looked down to my close friend, and I saw that he was sleeping soundly. A frown was on his face, though, which made me worry for him. What was he seeing this time that was making him frown?
I nodded, and then I sat down on the closest table I could find. Then, I bury my face in my hands. I began to shake my head. "It's all my fault… it's all my fault," I then muttered, closing my eyes behind my sunglasses. A moment later, I felt Dawn place her hands on my shoulder comfortingly.
"What's your fault, Sky?" Dawn asked, and then I sat up, looking into Dawn's blue and green eyes.
"The recruits being taken. Husky being shot and injured. It's all my fault that everything is this way," I then said, looking down to the ground.
Dawn lifted my head up, and then she sat down next to me on the table that I was sitting down on. "It's not your fault, Sky. Nobody could have stopped Herobrine from attacking us," She then said, looking at me.
"Herobrine wants something from me; that is why he is attacking us, Dawn. If I only knew what Herobrine wanted… so that I could stop all of this from happening."
"I don't think that Herobrine will stop there. I have heard many tales about Herobrine, and all of them are not very pleasant. That will probably happen to us to if you comply with what Herobrine wants from you." Dawn looked to me, a slight frown appearing on her face.
A moment of silence then passed, and then I heard Dawn sigh. "Sky… why did we let that stupid argument get the better of us and break us up?" Dawn asked quietly. I looked over to her, and then immediately, the mini-movie of when our breakup happened began to play through my mind.
It was about four months ago. Dawn and I were just walking by a lake that was near our base, holding hands and just having a good time. I had set up a little picnic for us, and when the sun began to set, I walked her over to the picnic spot, and we began to have dinner and dessert.
"Sky?" Dawn asked, and then I looked up to her.
"Yeah?" I asked, then picking up a piece of chicken to put it in my mouth.
Dawnables smiled, and then she said, "I love you."
I smiled back to her. "I love you too, Dawn," I said, and then I leaned over to give her a kiss. For a moment, everything was perfect. But later, everything went downhill. We began to talk about the recent problems that we were having with the Sky Army, the conversation just starting out innocent and meaningless.
"We have been running out of food lately… why can't everyone start working faster to get the food?" Dawn complained, which then made me look over at her.
"My recruits are working as fast as they can, Dawn. Don't rush them because you are getting greedy."
A shocked look came upon her face. "'Greedy'? I am not greedy, Sky!"
"Well, you are when you are accusing them of not doing things fast enough. I don't see you doing anything to help them gather food and other resources."
"That's because I am always in the infirmary! I heal them, the least they can do is get things faster than what they are already doing!" Dawn began to look angry, her eyes beginning to dance with fury.
"Looks like you're not doing a very good job, because recruits are always injured."
Right then, Dawn broke. She picked up the piece of cake that she had on her plate, and she pushed it into my face. Cake smeared everywhere, from in my hair down my face and then to my shirt. I was shocked. Dawn stood up, and then she began to march off. Tears were streaming down her face, and immediately, I began to feel sorry for being mean to her. "You know what, Sky? WE, ARE, THROUGH!" Dawn then turned on heel, and ran away crying from the picnic, running in the direction of the base.
I shook my head when that dreadful day passed through my mind, and then I returned my attention to Dawn. She was looking down at the ground, obviously rethinking that day over again as well. I shrugged, and then I said, "I don't know. I guess we were both feeling bitc- I mean, crappy, that day."
Dawn shook her head, and then she stood up. "I had better be heading back to work. I will see you later, Sky," She said, the whole time her head lowered to the ground. Then, she walked off, leaving me sitting there like a complete idiot.
I stood up slowly, and then I walked out of the infirmary, more silent than normal. I was walking into the base when all of a sudden, I heard someone running up to me. Turning around, I then saw Terra running up to me. She had a bright smile on her face, and she jogged up to me. "What's up, Sky?" Terra then asked, slowing down to keep up to my speed.
I smiled, and then I said, "Nothing really, just heading back into the base. We have had a really busy day today."
Terra nodded. "I guess so. Especially with the disappearances occurring again… that's always fun," She said sarcastically, and then I smiled.
"Yeah, so freakin' fun to have the recruits disappear!" I then say just as sarcastically. Terra and I start to laugh, but right then, we see someone running up to us. A moment later, I realize that it was CaptainSparklez. He is panting hard, and he stops in front of us. "Jordan, what's the matter?" I asked, then placing a hand on my friend's shoulder.
Sparklez tried to catch his breath, but wasn't very successful at that part. "Sky… we have… a situa…tion…" CaptainSparklez panted, and then I glanced over to Terra worriedly. She appeared to be just as worried as I was.
"What sort of situation, Captain?" Terra then asked, kneeling down lower so that she could look at the Sparklez's face while he was keeling over in pain.
A moment later, CaptainSparklez then said, "Two more… recruits taken."
I furrowed my eyebrows quickly. "What were their names, Jordan?"
"Their names… were… Bashur and Kermit."
Bashur's POV-
I groaned, and then I looked around to where I was. Immediately, I became confused. "Since when does the forest look like a prison ce-?" I asked out loud, but I stopped once I realized something. I was actually in a prison cell.
"What the balls!? Why are we here?" I then asked out loud, looking around me quickly. I began to panic. "No, no, no, the Bashur cannot be kept in one place! I need to be FRRREEEEEEEE!"
"Dude, calm down," I then heard another familiar voice say. I looked over in my cell, and quickly saw Kermit leaning up against the wall in the cell. He looked horrible. He had black eyes, had bruises all over himself, and his suit was all ripped up. "It's not that bad… at least we have company here with us, Bashur."
"Bashur, Kermit? Is that really you guys?" I heard a soft voice then ask in the cell next to us. Standing up, I then walked up to the cell bars that separated us from the cell adjoining ours, and immediately, I spotted two forms. They were very dark, but a moment later, I realized who they were.
"But… wh… everyone thought you guys were dead!" I cried out, staring in shock at Eaglefan2569 and Wolfstar727. They looked just as horrible as Kermit did, perhaps even worse.
"And we all thought you had no brain. Turns out we were right," Wolf then said, glaring at me.
"I will take that as a compliment, thank you," I then said, then looking across the hallway from us. Three other people were in the cells, staring at us confusingly. I saw two dudes standing there, looking towards me as if they were confused and lost. Then, I saw another girl. She was hot, even for being completely filthy and bruised up.
Leaning against the cell bars, I then said, "Hey, there. My name is Bashur, what's yours?"
The girl then started laughing. "You're kidding me, right?" She asked, then looking over to Wolf and Eagle.
"Sadly, this is what we have to live with every day. One week we get to be away from him, and then it comes straight to us again," Eagle then said, looking over towards me. I shrugged, and then I looked back over to the girl.
"Are you from Tennessee? Because you are the only ten I see," I then said which caused everyone to fall silent. Then, everyone broke out laughing. "What!?" I asked, looking around in confusion.
The girl shook her head, and then she said, "You do realize that this is Minecraft, right? Tennessee doesn't exist here."
I shrugged myself. "Well, it's true."
Rolling her eyes, the girl then said, "Oh, Notch, does this guy have an off switch?"
Kermit then smiled. "Yes, he does, actually," He then said, and then all of a sudden, I fell to the ground, clutching my private parts in pain.
"What… was… that… for, Kermit?" I then squeaked out, my voice higher than it normally was. I looked over to Kermit, who had an amused smile on his face.
"That's to shut you up. There is his off switch, so if you ever need to shut him up…"
"Don't… even… THINK… about it," I hissed, which then made everyone else laugh. I shakily stood up, trying not to cry out in pain. I hated when I was the one that got the ball-kicking instead of someone else.
Right then, I heard the iron door open that was at the end of the hallway, and we all fell silent once more. The next moment, I saw someone standing in front of Wolf and Eagle's cell. I was scared for a moment, thinking that it was Herobrine, because all I could see were his eyes. But then, as my eyesight adjusted some more, I realized that he looked completely different than Herobrine. "Are you guys OK? Who are these two guys?" The man then asked Wolf and Eagle, glancing over to me and Kermit.
"We're fine, Noah. And these two guys are from the Sky Army. Their names are Bashur and KermitPlaysMC," Wolf then said, and then Noah, the guy that looked like Herobrine, looked over to us.
"Well, I have a surprise for you guys," Noah then said, and then we all stood up, walking to the edges of the cells in excitement. Right then, he took out a ring, and on the ring, were several different keys. "It's time to get you guys out of here."
0.0 Huge cliffhanger right there :P Mwahahahahahaha!
I had so much fun writing the Bashur part... I just think that Bashur is freaking hilarious.
Ninjamaster out! Peace :P
