Minecraft: The uprising
A/N: Hey guys, hope you all been doing just fine.
I want to apologize for how late this chapter is. I been busy with school and work and haven't had much time to type and post the chapters. I have them made already, but I just need to type them.
As for Kevin and Ashley falling for each other so quickly, well... blame the Myth of Love for that and the prophecy too. The reason for that is because of Ashley's past and the need for comfort. Seeing as Kevin has been at her side since they met, she has decided to put faith in him. She wants to forget all the pain she went through before she came to this world. All that will be closely explained in part two.
So now, with all that explained, Hope you enjoy the next chapter of Minecraft: The Uprising.
Chapter 9: The Duel
People around scattered, as Iron guards surround the evil Skeleton. One of them is Guard Tom himself. All of them hold out their iron swords in case the skeleton does anything suspicious and surround him.
Though, he just stands there smirking at everyone as the black smoke around him clears.
Ashley and I are in remaining crowd watching the show.
"State your purpose, skeleton," Tom orders and puts the tip of his sword on the skeleton's neck.
The evil mob looks down and closes his eyes. He speaks, "He is coming." His voice is deep; a voice of pure darkness.
"Tell us in our language you worthless being."
Wait… I could understand him.
The mob raises his head and opens his eyes. The red eyes glow in bright light; which stuns us all for a second.
The next thing we see is Tom pinned down on his knees. The evil mob is behind him with the tip of the iron sword on his neck.
"I won't hesitate to kill you," he tells us, now in our language. "Tell your fellow comrades to put their weapons down. This is a fight not between me and them, but a fight between a certain individual."
Tom commands his friends to put their weapons down. They struggle to do what they are told but they do it and step back from them.
"What do you want?" Tom questions careful to not move his neck too much.
"I want the boy to come out here."
He wants me…
"What do you mean?" Talia suddenly asks in front of me.
"I know he is here. Show yourself! If you don't, I'll assassinate this person," he threatens and presses the sword down on Tom's neck. "He'll die because of you."
I glance at Ashley besides me and she shakes her head in fear. "Don't…" She whispers in concern.
I have no other choice. "Tom..." So I step into the crowd and make my way to the evil mob.
"No, Veteran…" Talia whispers to me and steps aside.
"Let him go," I warn the skeleton.
And that's what he does. He easily grabs Tom from his back, like he doesn't weigh anything at all, and launches him to the other guards.
"Ah… You are the VeteranRaptor… You don't seem of any threat to me, but if the boss wants you, then so let that be. Come with me, or pay the price."
"Don't Kevin!" Ashley calls out and stands next to Talia.
"If you want me, then you must make me," I tell the evil mob, and a diamond sword appears in my hand.
"Does that sound like a duel?"
"I guess…"
"Very well, I can't deny a challenge, but if I win, you must come by choice."
"But if I do, then you will leave this kingdom and never come back. I don't care what your boss says."
The skeleton nods and grins. "You have my word."
A screen appears in front of me with an invitation.
Accept duel?
I press yes.
My 10 hearts appear below my eyes along with the skeleton's health; 20 HP on top of his head.
"Standard rules…"
I nod and prepare myself to defend if he attacks first, or attack if necessary.
"5…4...3…2…1… Duel!"
We both stand there for a few seconds, waiting for someone to make a move, but he doesn't budge.
Well then. I will end this.
I attack first by quickly sprinting to the skeleton, and swinging my sword at him.
The skeleton blocks my attack with his rough boned arm and his HP decreases to 19. He tosses the iron sword away with his other hand and a strange golden sword with red stripes in the blade appears in it. He slashes me from below and I stumble back. My hearts are now at 7.
"Those swords don't hurt me," he points out.
"Who are you?" I question as he appears next to me and smacks me up with his fists. He then smacks me down into the ground.
2 hearts…
"I am King Skel…" He swings his powerful sword at me and I wait for the defeat, closing my eyes.
It's over… I lost and now, I will be taken to someone who probably wants me dead. I'm sorry I couldn't protect this kingdom. I'm sorry I couldn't protect her. Ashley…
"Kevin!" Her voice… That's her beautiful voice. It's like she right beside me, comforting me as I am about to take in the last blow.
I wait for his hit, but don't feel anything. I open my eyes at the confusion and watch King Skel freeze as his sword heads my way.
I am pulled away by Ashley and as soon as I'm standing out of harm's way, she's hugging me with all her might.
"Ashley…"
"You idiot!" She's crying now. Tears fall off her cheeks in concern and relief. "Don't give up like that, please. Don't give up because you think you can't fight anymore."
As I hug her back, I notice everything around us frozen. "How?"
She looks up at me. "I don't know. I freaked out and just ran to you. I called your name and held out my hand. Time just froze and I was so worried. I can't-"
I kiss her. I simple just kiss her. Her lips are sweet as strawberries and she's in complete shock.
I know I just made the move that might have just ruined our relationship but I couldn't stand seeing her so worried.
I'm afraid I might have blown it, but she soon responds and kisses me back.
It feels so good to be doing this. I mean like no one or anything can split us apart now. It's just me and her; this beautiful red-eyed girl and the supposed call savior, kissing in front of a lot of frozen people and in the middle of a duel… Yep, totally an ordinary thing…
Fear got nothing on us now.
"That's a wonderful way to shut me up," she whispers after we both take a breath.
I chuckle as I hold her in my arms. "Yeah..."
"My name's Kimberly… That's my name, Kevin."
I gasp. "Are you sure?"
"Yes. I believe in you."
I start to remember that dream. It begins to get clear to me. The girl with red eyes is Kimberly. This girl in my arms is Kimberly; the girl of my future.
She can't play that card with me returning a gift back. There won't be any more secrets between us. Not now, not ever.
"William…" I whisper and then, I begin to feel powerful just like in the games, but now, much more…
She looks up at me with a smile and repeats with a whisper, "William…"
Time unfreezes and King Skel swings the air in confusion.
Kimberly and William attack him and begin to work in perfect harmony. It's like we were meant to fight together, side-by-side; together as one...
